| 1012s | that's how it goes today |
| 1017s | now we are we're thrilled to have you |
| 1019s | for the entirety of the kick of clash so |
| 1021s | you'll be our go-to box person i wish it |
| 1024s | would be in our box but you know we got |
| 1026s | to change them we got to change the |
| 1028s | words so we can't keep saying it's a box |
| 1030s | i just really like the word box |
| 1032s | i got paid for her time of using the |
| 1034s | word box apparently |
| 1039s | that one anyway uh guys if you're living |
| 1043s | under a rock or in a box and not in a |
| 1045s | fancy van in the fancy parking lot like |
| 1046s | we do you may need to be caught up so |
| 1049s | while it doesn't have quite the same |
| 1051s | luster as looking at the standings let's |
| 1053s | take a look at the bracket for the kick |
| 1055s | of class western region tournament we're |
| 1057s | gonna have four games today four games |
| 1060s | tomorrow four games on saturday and then |
| 1062s | we'll crown a champion on sunday so i |
| 1064s | hope that you guys were not looking to |
| 1066s | sleep at all the next four days i know i |
| 1068s | certainly have not reinforced which |
| 1071s | match are you most excited about looking |
| 1072s | at this bracket all of them zoe i'm not |
| 1074s | i'm not thinking about one match zoe i |
| 1076s | mean they're all so good regardless of |
| 1078s | its san francisco shock against the |
| 1080s | washington justice number one against |
| 1081s | number eight like that's gonna be a |
| 1083s | great match are you kidding me |
| 1084s | washington has talent i think florida |
| 1086s | mayhem versus atlanta rain that's the |
| 1088s | biggest uncertain match though we don't |
| 1090s | know what we're going to get between |
| 1091s | florida and atlanta so i guess i'm |
| 1093s | looking forward to that one because it's |
| 1094s | just going to be chaos nekra which one |
| 1096s | of these matches tickles your fancy |
| 1100s | uh i gotta look at the los angeles |
| 1102s | gladiators and the houston outlaws i |
| 1104s | feel like that match is also going to be |
| 1106s | very close i mean the third seed with |
| 1108s | the fifth seed so very excited about |
| 1110s | that one |
| 1113s | yeah uh i'm i'm with you here johnny |
| 1116s | like everything exciting everything just |
| 1118s | everything is exciting that's exactly |
| 1120s | right now those are the games and now |
| 1122s | let's actually see what's on the line |
| 1124s | which makes it so exciting because of |
| 1126s | course they're not just |
| 1128s | you know playing to entertain us and now |
| 1130s | there there's some stuff on the line as |
| 1131s | well which of of course are league |
| 1133s | points which they will need to collect |
| 1135s | uh in order to make it to the grand |
| 1137s | finals at the very end of the season and |
| 1139s | of course there's also some price money |
| 1142s | on the line for our standout tournaments |
| 1145s | each and every cycle so yeah you wanna |
| 1147s | you wanna win those those points can |
| 1149s | come in really really crucial at the end |
| 1150s | of the season as well right yeah |
| 1152s | absolutely i mean we saw yeah last year |
| 1155s | how crucial it was for atlanta rain for |
| 1157s | example uh made it to hawaii several |
| 1159s | times with consistent top-tier |
| 1160s | performances right and they amassed |
| 1162s | those league points and |
| 1163s | i think this year even like we're |
| 1164s | awarding some extra league points you |
| 1166s | know so like you just being there you |
| 1167s | know we get a couple of placements |
| 1169s | exactly yeah last season i was like you |
| 1171s | you got to go to the tournament but |
| 1172s | didn't get the point so it was really |
| 1173s | just like a participation awards like |
| 1175s | here i have a sticker not a work |
| 1182s | it was pretty sweet it was pretty sweet |
| 1184s | now we are of course looking forward to |
| 1187s | upsetting our sleep schedule over the |
| 1188s | next couple of days uh there are also a |
| 1191s | few matches of course that have put us |
| 1193s | on an upset alert uh hence our next uh |
| 1196s | segment upset alert wow what a |
| 1199s | transition now of course i'm referring |
| 1201s | to when a lower seated team puts on that |
| 1203s | cinderella slipper and beats the higher |
| 1206s | ranked opponent now uh reinforced uh we |
| 1209s | want to first take a look at the number |
| 1211s | six seeded defined and the number two |
| 1214s | ranked dallas fuel uh where is the upset |
| 1217s | alert high medium non-existent oh it's a |
| 1220s | spicy one you start off with like the |
| 1222s | dallas crowd as well in in texas just |
| 1224s | like that it's right |
| 1226s | if you can hear me if you can hear me |
| 1227s | dallas |
| 1228s | the opposite chance is non-existent okay |
| 1230s | you're going to dominate this match up |
| 1232s | against the throne i'm sorry it's it's a |
| 1234s | bit of a similar compositional matchup |
| 1237s | because you got both teams like leaning |
| 1238s | into the story as of late we've seen the |
| 1240s | toronto defiant they like to play the |
| 1241s | star composition now with hotbar but |
| 1243s | you're going up against hanbin like come |
| 1245s | on you're playing against hanbin he's |
| 1247s | the best star in the league |
| 1248s | um and so if you're mirroring this zarya |
| 1251s | style it's going to be very difficult |
| 1253s | for toronto to find to sneak out the |
| 1255s | window so sorry non-existent opposition |
| 1258s | you already took a step back from |
| 1259s | non-existent to very difficult now we're |
| 1261s | back to non-existence well non-existent |
| 1263s | this is very difficult that i mean |
| 1264s | that's true that that doesn't make sense |
| 1266s | now an english major but i think it was |
| 1268s | that way mecca same question to you uh |
| 1270s | if you had to put a number on it which |
| 1272s | you do because i'm kindly asking you to |
| 1275s | uh what are the chances that the defined |
| 1277s | will pull off an opposite against the |
| 1279s | dallas fuel in front of their home crowd |
| 1284s | oh okay um i gotta agree with reinforce |
| 1288s | here virtually zero chance i'm giving it |
| 1291s | to the dallas fuel for this one i really |
| 1293s | don't love to hear i ain't have a chance |
| 1295s | i do love them but |
| 1297s | yeah come on i gotta i gotta back that |
| 1298s | point up right |
| 1302s | that's right i mean i'm listen i'm not |
| 1304s | arguing with anyone |
| 1307s | we need to run through the fighting fans |
| 1309s | in the studio where where are you true |
| 1310s | about which player i mean you you |
| 1312s | pointed out hot but uh necro what's |
| 1315s | what's the play are you watching out for |
| 1317s | in this one and why is it edison |
| 1320s | why is it well that's a great question |
| 1322s | zoe let me tell you why it is edison so |
| 1325s | you know reinforce ended up talking a |
| 1327s | lot about the han bin zarya and how |
| 1329s | effective that has been but it's really |
| 1332s | about how edison is enabled to be able |
| 1334s | to do these big pop-off moments on the |
| 1336s | reefer specifically you know that edison |
| 1339s | is going to be swapping in the front |
| 1341s | line with honvin tanking damage and |
| 1343s | taking names otherwise edison is in your |
| 1346s | back line uh with a death blossom and |
| 1348s | also taking names but honestly that's |
| 1351s | not all while you're looking at edison |
| 1354s | and you're also looking at how han bin |
| 1356s | is being able to support both of the dps |
| 1358s | well then you got to take a look at the |
| 1359s | other dps that's also in the lineup |
| 1362s | right we've seen a lot of doha who has |
| 1364s | been playing a ton of soldier 76 for the |
| 1367s | dallas fuel and with pretty high |
| 1368s | proficiency the biggest takeaway for |
| 1370s | doha is |
| 1372s | able to stay alive with some great |
| 1374s | position |
| 1375s | his own healing station and of course |
| 1378s | dallas fuels support line so we can get |
| 1380s | insanely consistent damage whenever he's |
| 1382s | playing soldier so both of those dps |
| 1385s | alongside han bin are really going to |
| 1387s | make it difficult for the toronto |
| 1388s | defiant |
| 1392s | yeah i mean that just it's just a scary |
| 1394s | roster isn't it it is an edison on that |
| 1396s | reaper that's nightmare fuel got it okay |
| 1399s | pass that off your bingo card |
| 1401s | i'm here for that i'm doing it for the |
| 1402s | fans that wasn't a whole watch league |
| 1404s | thing we're so grateful i i think that |
| 1406s | was a good one too good one-liner i'm |
| 1408s | taking it anyway our next match if we go |
| 1411s | by their respective seats we've got the |
| 1413s | number four florida mayhem going up |
| 1415s | against the number seven seated atlanta |
| 1418s | reign to open the floor for |
| 1421s | a big upset but honestly like i kind of |
| 1423s | struggle to even call in atlanta win an |
| 1425s | upset because i |
| 1427s | vividly remember how the florida mayhem |
| 1430s | absolutely crumbled in their first match |
| 1432s | of the season against the atlanta reigns |
| 1435s | so necra what are the odds that the |
| 1437s | number seven atlanta reign can beat the |
| 1438s | number four uh number four florida a |
| 1441s | second time around |
| 1444s | i think history is going to repeat |
| 1446s | itself here i'm giving |
| 1448s | the atlanta reign a 99 |
| 1451s | chance of success over the florida |
| 1454s | mayhem now it would be a hundred percent |
| 1456s | but i've gotta take away that one |
| 1458s | percent because of their strength of |
| 1459s | schedule i mean just take a look at some |
| 1461s | of these |
| 1463s | matches that have happened where the |
| 1465s | atlanta reign has taken some surprise |
| 1468s | losses i mean |
| 1470s | who expected though that you know the |
| 1472s | washington justice would beat them or |
| 1474s | you know london spitfire even last week |
| 1479s | i mean at london one though i mean |
| 1480s | they're rolled up with secret weapon |
| 1482s | audi can you blame the atlanta reigns |
| 1484s | that's true so much alpha rhine energy |
| 1488s | i don't know |
| 1490s | yeah not so much a secret weapon i guess |
| 1492s | at this point hardy's just like the |
| 1494s | known quantity yeah i guess there's no |
| 1496s | secret about him but he's a weapon |
| 1498s | nonetheless so all right 99 upset alert |
| 1501s | here uh now of course florida are the |
| 1504s | fourth seat so they didn't even get to |
| 1507s | pick the atlanta reign as their opponent |
| 1508s | but they seemed insanely pleased with |
| 1511s | the outcome of the selection show when |
| 1513s | we asked if they're happy to go up |
| 1514s | against the atlanta right now reinforce |
| 1516s | are you on a high alert for an opposite |
| 1518s | on this one as well 99 |
| 1520s | yeah yeah i mean i i don't know what |
| 1522s | they what |
| 1523s | how the upset alert math works but i |
| 1525s | guess i'm high on the chances of it |
| 1528s | being an upset but that doesn't mean |
| 1530s | that i think you'll be an upset like |
| 1533s | give me a number well if i think this |
| 1536s | matchup is 50 50. that doesn't matter |
| 1539s | that's a high upset alert relatively to |
| 1541s | there not being an upset never mind i |
| 1543s | think this match is very evenly matched |
| 1546s | zoe so i i think the chance for an upset |
| 1548s | is |
| 1549s | pretty low because there's not going to |
| 1551s | be an upset if someone of them wins |
| 1553s | that's not supposed to anyway atlanta |
| 1554s | rain good team so far |
| 1556s | lots of different tank compositions it |
| 1558s | started out with a doom fist |
| 1560s | just play the highlights play the |
| 1561s | highlights so much |
| 1563s | production they played a lot of doomfist |
| 1565s | to start off the stage hawk of course |
| 1568s | on this doom and it worked |
| 1571s | it worked for them for quite some time |
| 1572s | but because it's you know new overwatch |
| 1574s | five we haven't had a ton of experience |
| 1576s | messing around with it it sort of felt |
| 1577s | like they got figured out eventually |
| 1579s | along with the houston outlaws of course |
| 1580s | who also leaned into this doomfist um |
| 1583s | so since then they've been playing more |
| 1585s | zarya we have we've seen gator on the |
| 1586s | winston we've seen gator on the |
| 1588s | reinhardt recently as well so i don't |
| 1591s | really know what to expect from the |
| 1593s | atlanta rain to be honest i think based |
| 1596s | on like you know i'm reading tea leaves |
| 1598s | here but they did communicate in their |
| 1599s | match against the l.a gladiators like |
| 1601s | last week they were just like wait what |
| 1602s | reinhardt is meta now and so i think |
| 1605s | they honestly because they got a bit |
| 1606s | boomed last week they might just come |
| 1608s | out this week and be like well screw it |
| 1609s | i mean we're just gonna lean into the |
| 1611s | reinhardt then because gator he's a |
| 1612s | fantastic reinhardt and we know |
| 1614s | understand this composition very well so |
| 1616s | i think at that terrain i think they'll |
| 1618s | swim towards the uh currents this week |
| 1621s | and just say screw it and play the |
| 1623s | reinhardt look i messed up my idiom for |
| 1625s | a little bit i'm not having a great day |
| 1628s | i think you're doing great i think that |
| 1629s | would be swimming with the current if |
| 1630s | reinhardt were |
| 1633s | charging into the meta right does that |
| 1634s | make sense |
| 1636s | is that another bad pun that was another |
| 1637s | bad point for all of you out there |
| 1639s | you're welcome thank you and i |
| 1641s | appreciate that you pointed it out to |
| 1642s | make it even more bad now as we can tell |
| 1645s | there's definitely some possibilities |
| 1647s | for upsets for our matches today even if |
| 1650s | they don't feel like true upsets now you |
| 1652s | would be upset if you don't stick around |
| 1653s | in our pre-show because after the break |
| 1655s | we'll get into the red hot match up |
| 1658s | between the houston outlaws and the la |
| 1660s | gladiators stick around |
| 1671s | [Music] |
| 1689s | [Music] |
| 1705s | [Music] |
| 1729s | so |

| 1780s | [Music] |
| 1794s | [Music] |
| 1849s | hello and welcome back surprise watchman |
| 1851s | free show is still going on and later |
| 1853s | today we've got a match that we're all |
| 1856s | so excited uh about and even more so |
| 1859s | after we got to watch the selection show |
| 1862s | getting a little bit spicy there now uh |
| 1865s | the l gladiators will take on the |
| 1867s | houston outlaws and i mean if if the |
| 1871s | back and forth between jake and unsure |
| 1873s | was any indication this is gonna be a |
| 1874s | good one uh no i i've liked the houston |
| 1878s | outlaws i guess sometimes this year but |
| 1881s | then they also seem to be locked into a |
| 1882s | certain style whereas the gladiators |
| 1885s | i just feel like we saw more versatility |
| 1888s | more flexibility for them |
| 1890s | just more compositional changes uh which |
| 1893s | showed that they had the adaptability to |
| 1895s | go up against really whatever is coming |
| 1898s | their way so let's take a look at the |
| 1899s | heroes that they played uh versus the |
| 1902s | heroes that we got to see from the |
| 1903s | houston outlaws which quite frankly were |
| 1905s | just not as many so you can see that |
| 1908s | there is a lot of differences uh here if |
| 1910s | we're looking at the hero usage list for |
| 1912s | both of those teams now of course that |
| 1915s | is not to say that the outlaws couldn't |
| 1916s | show us more different looks |
| 1918s | that is just to say that the outlaws |
| 1921s | mainly stuck to what really worked for |
| 1923s | them which is not necessarily a bad |
| 1925s | thing however at this point and i think |
| 1926s | i'm beating a dead horse here |
| 1928s | uh there's somewhere a texas outlaw |
| 1930s | jokes |
| 1931s | something in there with a dead horse but |
| 1933s | i'm not going there what no |
| 1935s | it's a stretch okay either way i just i |
| 1938s | really just want to say that yes i said |
| 1940s | it a lot already doomfist |
| 1942s | we know that that's what we can expect |
| 1944s | from from the outdoors we know that that |
| 1946s | has been something which they look the |
| 1947s | best on whereas on the other side i mean |
| 1950s | gladiators they showed us all sorts of |
| 1952s | things uh including some reinhardt |
| 1954s | bralcombes uh recently as well now uh |
| 1956s | necra |
| 1958s | i and i've got some |
| 1961s | reinhardt at talking points taking those |
| 1962s | away from reinforce and also you got |
| 1965s | some good old-fashioned transitive math |
| 1967s | for us and i love mental gymnastics here |
| 1969s | on the desk |
| 1974s | oh that i do that i do i've got the the |
| 1977s | calculations here okay |
| 1979s | we've got there |
| 1980s | but but listen before we get to |
| 1983s | the math right i think i have to give a |
| 1985s | couple of notes about reiner |
| 1988s | specifically i mean so you talked about |
| 1990s | how reiner has been playing multiple |
| 1992s | different heroes in that tank role and |
| 1994s | it was the reinhardt last weekend that i |
| 1996s | feel like was a super big standout i |
| 1998s | mean the fact that the gladiators were |
| 2000s | able to 3-0 the reign a very strong team |
| 2004s | in the overwatch league with this |
| 2006s | particular hero i think speaks a lot of |
| 2008s | volume to what we could expect out of |
| 2010s | the los angeles gladiators this weekend |
| 2013s | um you know i i will say that uh i do |
| 2017s | feel like the gladiators maybe took a |
| 2018s | page or copied london's homework a |
| 2020s | little bit on how to beat the atlanta |
| 2022s | rain here um but this brings me to my |
| 2025s | calculation |
| 2026s | okay this this brings me to the map and |
| 2028s | this is where it gets good you might |
| 2030s | want to put your tin foil hats on for |
| 2032s | this one maybe um but listen okay we've |
| 2035s | proven that since the los angeles |
| 2038s | gladiators beat london spitfire |
| 2040s | then london spitfire beat atlanta |
| 2042s | therefore the los angeles gladiators did |
| 2045s | in fact beat the atlanta rain okay okay |
| 2048s | well we can use that same transitive |
| 2050s | property alongside the texas buff to get |
| 2054s | the fact that okay |
| 2056s | houston outlaws beat the dallas fuel |
| 2059s | the dallas fuel then beat the los |
| 2061s | angeles gladiators |
| 2063s | so therefore |
| 2065s | come on come on then you gotta conclude |
| 2067s | that the houston outlaws will also beat |
| 2068s | the los angeles gladiators that's just |
| 2070s | how it works |
| 2071s | obviously |
| 2073s | wait wait wait |
| 2076s | is this indeed correct do we nail it |
| 2079s | oh sorry it's over here |
| 2082s | the bait |
| 2084s | yeah i mean that's there you go to me |
| 2086s | does that look right |
| 2088s | i see no claw no |
| 2090s | whatsoever there is a question mark but |
| 2092s | i guess we can solve it yeah so that |
| 2093s | that means that yep |
| 2095s | ladies are better than |
| 2097s | you |
| 2098s | no i mean houston would be better than |
| 2100s | the gladiators |
| 2103s | by this month |
| 2105s | i don't know |
| 2106s | take this for what you want you know um |
| 2109s | it's it's nice |
| 2110s | you tried trying to help you with your |
| 2112s | pickings that's really what we're doing |
| 2113s | that's really true i mean gladiators we |
| 2116s | really are um |
| 2119s | yeah gladiators though uh they have been |
| 2121s | looking very strong pretty much all year |
| 2124s | so far uh houston however they had some |
| 2126s | head scratchers um what makes you doubt |
| 2129s | the the boys in green |
| 2131s | well i i really feel bad like |
| 2133s | badmouthing the houston outlaws after |
| 2135s | you know |
| 2136s | not being able to figure out simple math |
| 2138s | and broadcast but the houston outlaws |
| 2140s | just struggled a bit too much against |
| 2143s | the paris eternal it just it just was a |
| 2146s | little bit too hard to squeeze out that |
| 2148s | final dub of their stage qualification |
| 2151s | matches against the paris eternal of |
| 2153s | course they started out going down 0-2 |
| 2155s | against the first eternal who really |
| 2156s | adopted this zorya reaper composition |
| 2158s | quite well and played it played it quite |
| 2161s | nicely but the houston outlaws like they |
| 2162s | just couldn't keep up with their own |
| 2164s | we saw more piggy in the lineup |
| 2166s | themselves and outlaws trying to adapt |
| 2168s | and play this sort of composition but |
| 2170s | you know they've had pretty small amount |
| 2173s | of time to prepare accordingly on this |
| 2175s | type of composition of course they did |
| 2177s | play a lot of doomfist going into it and |
| 2178s | it's also how they closed out the series |
| 2180s | and started a bit of a run back you can |
| 2182s | see here dante getting nominated as well |
| 2184s | on doomfist on new queen street and it |
| 2186s | really messed up the first eternal they |
| 2188s | couldn't keep up they couldn't counter |
| 2189s | this type of composition from the |
| 2190s | houston outlaws so it makes me a bit |
| 2192s | worried about the outlaws going into the |
| 2194s | this stage tournament because they sort |
| 2197s | of recognized that the doomfist it sort |
| 2199s | of has been figured out within the |
| 2201s | league itself now but now you're trying |
| 2203s | to bring out these star compositions |
| 2205s | it's like something new that you're |
| 2206s | trying to excel in to maybe give you a |
| 2208s | better chance at winning but if you're |
| 2210s | struggling against the paris eternal |
| 2212s | like |
| 2213s | gladder is going to be tough today i |
| 2214s | tell you that much |
| 2216s | so well that's not math that's like i |
| 2219s | test math but the i test |
| 2221s | no i had a good |
| 2223s | approximate math kind of well |
| 2226s | do you remember you're lucky that you're |
| 2227s | not in texas right now so you don't have |
| 2229s | to feel the ire of the houston faithful |
| 2231s | but if you don't want to feel the wrath |
| 2234s | of yourself for forgetting to do your |
| 2236s | pickings i can totally relate to this |
| 2237s | one uh you're lucky because you still |
| 2239s | got time to lock in your bra |
| 2241s | kick kickoff clash |
| 2242s | hello.oc dot com and get those last |
| 2246s | second picks in of course you can also |
| 2248s | use the app to make it even easier and |
| 2250s | more convenient now we're just minutes |
| 2252s | away from the start of the washington |
| 2254s | justice versus the san francisco shark |
| 2256s | and we'll try to find a way for |
| 2258s | washington to somehow take down the |
| 2260s | vaunted number one seeded shock when we |
| 2263s | get back so don't go anywhere |
| 2292s | um |
| 2294s | [Music] |
| 2314s | [Music] |
| 2341s | oh |
| 2345s | [Music] |
| 2355s | [Applause] |
| 2356s | [Music] |
| 2373s | [Applause] |
| 2381s | [Music] |
| 2389s | welcome back to the what fun pre-show |
| 2391s | kickoff clash edition that san francisco |
| 2393s | shop earned themselves the number one |
| 2396s | seed for this first tournament of the |
| 2398s | year and therefore they got the pick of |
| 2400s | the litter for their first match and |
| 2401s | they opted for the washington justice |
| 2404s | not the boldest move of all but they did |
| 2407s | so uh for all we know this is going to |
| 2409s | be a one-sided affair looking at this |
| 2411s | squeaky clean record of the san |
| 2413s | francisco shock and the rather i guess |
| 2416s | up and down performance we've seen so |
| 2417s | far from washington justice in the 2022 |
| 2420s | season however this is the first time |
| 2422s | that those two teams are actually |
| 2423s | playing each other this season |
| 2424s | so uh reinforce what do the shock |
| 2427s | players need to know to not be caught |
| 2429s | off guard by that justice well i don't |
| 2431s | think you can approach this match just |
| 2433s | like randomly just like oh we're the |
| 2434s | better team we're just gonna walk in |
| 2436s | here and stomp them we're going to |
| 2438s | dominate them because i don't think it's |
| 2439s | quite that simple with the washington |
| 2441s | justice the thing is they're a bit |
| 2443s | one-dimensional in their style sometimes |
| 2445s | they like being protective and that's |
| 2446s | what mag likes to do on the winston he's |
| 2448s | not the dive extraordinaire feeding kind |
| 2451s | of winston he likes he's good at staying |
| 2452s | alive right so uh when it comes to the |
| 2455s | washington justice you just can't play |
| 2457s | into their style you got to throw them |
| 2458s | up because they would take a look at mag |
| 2460s | like when he just gets to play the |
| 2461s | winston and do his thing he's good at it |
| 2464s | so uh don't get baited into mags winston |
| 2466s | play is what i'd recommend them to do |
| 2468s | because after mag behind him i mean you |
| 2471s | got a solid backline good support |
| 2472s | players you have happy assassin decay |
| 2475s | like that's your damage to you there was |
| 2478s | damage trio i suppose that's extremely |
| 2481s | well-rounded team right so if we take a |
| 2483s | look at the stats you can see yourself |
| 2484s | that kaloush he has the upper hand but |
| 2486s | very narrowly like six point one final |
| 2488s | blows over six two point one from a race |
| 2490s | kills over two uh |
| 2492s | everything is like point one higher |
| 2494s | right so these are two pretty even |
| 2496s | winstons and |
| 2498s | especially considering that mag has been |
| 2500s | struggling in some of these matches like |
| 2501s | against boston uprising that just tells |
| 2503s | you how good he is when he can play his |
| 2505s | game so once more don't get paid into |
| 2508s | playing washington just this game if |
| 2510s | they played their tempo the way they |
| 2512s | like to play it if you let them take |
| 2514s | space the way they like it ultimate |
| 2515s | rotations you name it they're going to |
| 2517s | be a very strong opponent so i'd like to |
| 2519s | see shocks at the pace |
| 2521s | and play the game on their terms their |
| 2523s | compositions and the way they would like |
| 2525s | to because then they won't let |
| 2526s | washington justice to flourish |
| 2528s | there we go so easy just do what's so |
| 2531s | easy so easy now |
| 2533s | you may not know this uh but we're here |
| 2535s | in the watchpoint truck uh we're very |
| 2537s | familiar with happy hopium as we call it |
| 2540s | uh so what is your take on the hitscan |
| 2543s | ace and the justice chances to |
| 2545s | maybe make something work against the |
| 2547s | shock |
| 2549s | well i would like to order a singular |
| 2551s | happy hopium please i'm definitely |
| 2554s | aboard the happy hopium train for this |
| 2556s | one because i i feel like happy can |
| 2558s | absolutely be a wild card when it comes |
| 2561s | to playing against the san francisco |
| 2562s | shock we've seen how happy can have |
| 2564s | these incredible pop-off performances |
| 2566s | and i feel like i would be super remiss |
| 2568s | to not focus on his stats just a little |
| 2571s | bit for the league overall i mean happy |
| 2573s | is like the top widowmaker in the league |
| 2575s | right now you know second in healing |
| 2577s | damage look at those final blows those |
| 2579s | solo kills i mean reinforced this is |
| 2581s | incredible |
| 2584s | it's amazing it makes me happy |
| 2588s | now that that sounds sarcastic i was |
| 2590s | definitely not sarcastic no genuinely |
| 2592s | like he's incredible and widowmaker and |
| 2594s | he's been incredible way to make it for |
| 2595s | so long necro as well |
| 2598s | yeah absolutely i mean i mean that's |
| 2600s | gotta show you some examples right |
| 2604s | absolutely i feel like we got to show |
| 2606s | some examples i mean that's the thing |
| 2607s | with one of those dusters right necro |
| 2609s | like we know that they're |
| 2611s | they're dps players they can make it |
| 2612s | work for them |
| 2615s | oh yeah i mean here's a great example of |
| 2617s | how this has been really working out for |
| 2619s | the washington justice |
| 2620s | this is a tweet from pre the general |
| 2623s | manager of the washington justice |
| 2624s | highlighting how good happy is in action |
| 2626s | i mean happy in this tweet is being |
| 2629s | juggled by the winston and still somehow |
| 2632s | manages to headshot the tracer i say |
| 2634s | somehow but honestly like we all know |
| 2636s | how it's because happy can pop off and |
| 2638s | there's so many more examples of this |
| 2641s | too in the washington justices sweep |
| 2643s | over the atlanta reign i mean oh my gosh |
| 2646s | like look at this like here's the pop |
| 2648s | off |
| 2650s | yeah like it's it's just pretty great |
| 2652s | and and happy like yeah |
| 2655s | nuts |
| 2659s | you're not supposed to hit those shots |
| 2661s | you're not supposed to hit a shot whilst |
| 2662s | you're being chuckled by a winston like |
| 2664s | that that's just that ain't right yeah i |
| 2666s | was like i saw i saw this highlight and |
| 2668s | i was just like why why don't they dive |
| 2670s | him and then i'm like wait he's being |
| 2671s | juggled there they are he is being dived |
| 2674s | he's the definition i've never seen a |
| 2676s | widowmaker more dive than he is and he |
| 2677s | still lands headshot it's just |
| 2679s | unbelievable yeah and i mean if it's not |
| 2682s | happy making it work then there's always |
| 2684s | a decay factor as well uh so that's why |
| 2687s | it's so hard to pray against them but |
| 2688s | then |
| 2690s | they dropped the spaghetti and there's |
| 2691s | like so many emotions and now i want to |
| 2693s | take a look i know i'm already getting |
| 2695s | heated that's why we need to step away |
| 2698s | from our faces and take a look at our |
| 2699s | picks for the matches today to see if |
| 2703s | we're all aligned with each other with |
| 2705s | the audience i can't wait to see the |
| 2707s | pickings from |
| 2708s | our audience for all these all right |

| 3018s | see all of these teams especially in a |
| 3020s | tournament format go at it here on this |
| 3023s | day to the esports stadium arlington |
| 3024s | yeah i'm excited because for a lot of |
| 3027s | these players it's like some of their |
| 3028s | first experiences on land playing in |
| 3030s | front of a crowd and how that pressure |
| 3032s | kind of affects them how some players |
| 3034s | will rise to the occasion it'll be |
| 3035s | interesting throughout the weekend yeah |
| 3036s | a real fresh batch of rookies coming |
| 3038s | into a lot of our teams in the overwatch |
| 3039s | league this year but all of them looking |
| 3041s | pretty darn scary this first matchup of |
| 3044s | the day of course is an interesting one |
| 3045s | it's where our top seed |
| 3047s | look unsurprisingly looks to make prey |
| 3049s | of some of our lower seeded teams coming |
| 3051s | in and the washington justice you know |
| 3052s | we're definitely a team that we struggle |
| 3054s | to put our finger on throughout the |
| 3056s | kickoff clash qualifiers where do we |
| 3058s | place this team what do we get from them |
| 3059s | on any given day their performance has |
| 3061s | been all over the place uh sometimes |
| 3063s | they've been really strong you know they |
| 3065s | have the talent top to bottom to really |
| 3067s | contend with a lot of the teams and then |
| 3068s | sometimes they're just not there they |
| 3070s | just don't show up in games that you |
| 3072s | expect them to take and win uh so |
| 3075s | who knows what justice we have that'll |
| 3077s | show up today that's right well we're |
| 3078s | about to find out ladies and gentlemen |
| 3080s | let us welcome to the stage of |
| 3082s | washington |
| 3083s | justice |
| 3085s | [Applause] |
| 3089s | [Music] |
| 3091s | [Applause] |
| 3103s | again a team with a pretty hot start in |
| 3106s | this season a team with incredible dps |
| 3109s | players and mag who was a rookie in his |
| 3111s | previous season who proved himself |
| 3113s | beyond reasonable doubt the fact of the |
| 3115s | matter is this is not a team that we |
| 3117s | expect to be at three wins and three |
| 3118s | losses with a zero map differential not |
| 3120s | even that mad they barely scraped here |
| 3122s | into the kickoff clash it almost went to |
| 3124s | a team like boston yeah i mean they |
| 3125s | barely got in and when you look at the |
| 3127s | talent on this roster like i said before |
| 3129s | this is not a team that should be |
| 3130s | qualifying the last day to get into the |
| 3133s | tournament uh something of note we have |
| 3135s | assassin in the starting lineup today so |
| 3137s | no decay here uh to kick things off so a |
| 3140s | bit of an adjustment don't know if we've |
| 3142s | actually off the top of my head but the |
| 3143s | games we've cast i have not seen |
| 3144s | assassin yet so far in the kickoff clash |
| 3147s | so a little bit of a late adjustment now |
| 3149s | featured heavily in the middling gear |
| 3151s | last year from the washington justin we |
| 3152s | saw assassin uh get it quite often |
| 3154s | playing the sort of low economy flanking |
| 3157s | roles we saw plenty that sombra action |
| 3159s | from him some of it maybe we wish we |
| 3161s | hadn't uh some difficult games for that |
| 3163s | team as they tried to sort of work on |
| 3164s | that cohesion but what a huge |
| 3166s | opportunity for assassin to hit the |
| 3168s | stage and show us what he's made up for |
| 3170s | a second year but again you have to feel |
| 3171s | matt the pressure's gonna be on again |
| 3173s | coming off the bench not getting to play |
| 3175s | a lot of the games for this team |
| 3176s | straight into the thick of things yeah i |
| 3178s | think necro though and johnny talked |
| 3180s | about on the desk happy is been so good |
| 3183s | for this team on the hit scan and that's |
| 3185s | where a lot of the damage and a lot of |
| 3186s | your resources are going right now your |
| 3188s | soldier 76 players and players who play |
| 3190s | that role to where if this frees you up |
| 3192s | to give happy some more love we know the |
| 3195s | type of things he can do and how the |
| 3197s | dynamic of a player he is and you have |
| 3198s | to feel if you're the justice you knew |
| 3200s | you'd be going up against a top table |
| 3202s | team you fall outside of the top four so |
| 3204s | you know you are going to be selected by |
| 3206s | someone who wants to try and you know |
| 3208s | make a big statement early here in |
| 3210s | arlington and punch through make their |
| 3212s | way through this double elimination |
| 3214s | tournament that obviously is the |
| 3215s | important part here because if it goes |
| 3216s | wrong for the justice today they have an |
| 3219s | opportunity to redeem themselves but you |
| 3221s | can see some of those nerves coming |
| 3223s | through on stage this is a team that uh |
| 3225s | you know maybe even still trying to find |
| 3227s | their identity as a roster right what do |
| 3229s | we see from mad do we get to see him on |
| 3230s | this you know really frightening winston |
| 3232s | play can they play around him because |
| 3234s | one of the biggest criticisms we've had |
| 3236s | at washington is that there doesn't seem |
| 3237s | to be a cohesive game plan at times but |
| 3239s | they're going to be up against it now |
| 3241s | coming in at six wins and zero losses |
| 3243s | and 13 map differential it is your san |
| 3247s | francisco |
| 3248s | shock |
| 3257s | you want to talk a teammate that has it |
| 3259s | all |
| 3260s | right uh with how good you have violet |
| 3262s | has been playing in that more like main |
| 3265s | support role i know finn has been insane |
| 3268s | uh |
| 3269s | fit for rookie here there uh |
| 3271s | and i think college you know is fit in |
| 3273s | really nicely he's played quite well uh |
| 3275s | where he comes in a little bit later |
| 3276s | right where super retires and picks up |
| 3279s | that tank roll |
| 3280s | quite easily uh and you think he's only |
| 3282s | going to get better with time first time |
| 3284s | we saw this team was on elios i think in |
| 3285s | their very first map |
| 3287s | of this season and we were blown away |
| 3289s | pretty quickly by just how frightening |
| 3290s | that looked and they really wanted to |
| 3292s | set the pace of the game kalooz was a |
| 3295s | huge part of that game plan that winston |
| 3297s | play has been really really dynamic so |
| 3299s | far now we've seen some rotations |
| 3301s | through the dps roles but kilo on proper |
| 3303s | is probably the more expected |
| 3304s | permutation of that for us and like you |
| 3307s | said in a very honor-centric matter when |
| 3309s | she is definitely the most powerful |
| 3310s | others supports finn is right at home |
| 3314s | yeah and you try and find a weakness |
| 3315s | with this team and it's difficult to |
| 3317s | find right they go undefeated during |
| 3319s | this stage like i mentioned you're |
| 3320s | working in players like luge like sam no |
| 3323s | into the mix you know viola picking up a |
| 3325s | new role |
| 3326s | to be this good this early i think the |
| 3328s | shock is a i mean probably not a |
| 3330s | surprise right but you probably are |
| 3332s | really happy with the progress the team |
| 3334s | has made because you expect it to make |
| 3336s | more progress as the season goes it's |
| 3337s | quite the rebuild and if you remember |
| 3339s | when super part of this team you know |
| 3341s | just before the season started everyone |
| 3342s | said okay well what's up with this guy |
| 3344s | like what should we be expecting from |
| 3346s | this rookie player coming in for his |
| 3348s | first year you don't even call it a |
| 3349s | rebuild it's really just a reload right |
| 3351s | you know they keep violent uh they were |
| 3354s | obviously gonna keep super but you just |
| 3356s | put more talent around them right |
| 3358s | upgraded every spot across the board uh |
| 3361s | right now and we'll see how kilo and |
| 3363s | proper play today but you know they've |
| 3366s | kind of come in and proved they're like |
| 3367s | one of the best dps dealers in the |
| 3368s | league right we talked about rookie of |
| 3369s | the year candidates at this early stage |
| 3371s | which we sort of love to do uh you know |
| 3373s | a lot of people have definitely had |
| 3374s | proper as part of that conversation |
| 3375s | again uh this is the kind of match-up |
| 3377s | where he probably is hungering for a |
| 3379s | real tracer head-to-head he's wondering |
| 3381s | where's decay they're gonna sub him out |
| 3382s | and put him against me that's where he |
| 3383s | wants to test himself but for now ladies |
| 3385s | and gentlemen it's gonna be a first of |
| 3386s | three series it all begins on |
| 3390s | because we're in a tournament the loser |
| 3392s | of the map will pick the next one so |
| 3394s | that's why you don't see uh any of the |
| 3396s | other maps selected here uh just yet the |
| 3399s | shock they are the higher seed so they |
| 3400s | were able to pick map number one so |
| 3402s | ilios is their pick like you mentioned |
| 3404s | we've seen them on this map before with |
| 3406s | great results |
| 3408s | and for the justice it's really going to |
| 3410s | be a matter of playing around mag it |
| 3412s | definitely felt like there was a |
| 3413s | disconnect between the two |
| 3415s | sides of the pinsta that many teams try |
| 3418s | and bring to bear in these dive |
| 3419s | compositions what we're looking for is |
| 3421s | to see assassin and mag hit the same |
| 3424s | spot at the same time eliminate those |
| 3426s | targets early in the round it's gonna be |
| 3428s | a ruin start for us here which is gonna |
| 3430s | be particularly interesting an |
| 3431s | opportunity for you know that long-range |
| 3433s | hit scan i don't think we'll see proper |
| 3435s | on the widow here |
| 3436s | i mean it does give the opportunity for |
| 3438s | the justice to play the widowmaker they |
| 3439s | highlighted how strong happy has been on |
| 3441s | the widowmaker thus far an opportunity |
| 3444s | to play it uh if they would like to so |
| 3446s | see what the justice decided to do it |
| 3448s | looks like right now hovering over a |
| 3450s | composition that's going to be based |
| 3452s | around doomfist with reaper so we'll get |
| 3455s | to see man on the doom |
| 3457s | and happy on the reaper and then you're |
| 3458s | also going to see a moira here uh |
| 3460s | instead of an anna so they want to go |
| 3463s | fast and they do go fast the issue is |
| 3465s | they go right into a helix rocket not a |
| 3467s | great start for assassin there is both |
| 3468s | teams trying to contend for that |
| 3470s | right-hand side of the map here shock |
| 3472s | trying to fall back a little bit violent |
| 3473s | speed gets most of the mounting kilos at |
| 3475s | a respectful distance here they lose fin |
| 3477s | but they snap back pretty hard |
| 3479s | what do you even do after you lose your |
| 3481s | tracer who is one of the bigger |
| 3483s | nuisances to the other team's supports |
| 3486s | right away assassin i think he gets hit |
| 3488s | with some bullets and then a helix |
| 3489s | rocket and he is dead before he can make |
| 3491s | any type of impact in that fight and |
| 3494s | we'll see now you give proper some space |
| 3496s | here |
| 3497s | just quietly well |
| 3499s | you're just gonna give him so much space |
| 3501s | like they can't really collapse on him |
| 3502s | uh right so it's gonna be difficult i |
| 3504s | mean you see right there that mag takes |
| 3506s | a big shot has to use power block and |
| 3507s | just back up |
| 3509s | man i hope you do have charged something |
| 3510s | up with that bear as proper has look at |
| 3512s | this space so much to work with now the |
| 3514s | justice look like they're trying to want |
| 3515s | to try and surge ahead but prop has |
| 3516s | already gotten a safer more entrenched |
| 3518s | position towards the coastline kilo also |
| 3521s | a lot of room to work with here somehow |
| 3522s | the justice have to close the gap |
| 3524s | and they can't in this position that |
| 3526s | they put themselves in they just got hit |
| 3527s | with one biotic grenade they have to |
| 3528s | wait up and get healed before even going |
| 3531s | back in yellow forced to go for the body |
| 3532s | field even mag is going to go down first |
| 3534s | in this fight it's the winston getting |
| 3535s | blown up here but happy finally gets to |
| 3538s | the soft underbelly of the shock he's |
| 3540s | having to dig proper out here san |
| 3542s | francisco already working with three and |
| 3543s | collude goes for the primal stall of it |
| 3545s | but they have to seek control of the |
| 3546s | point |
| 3548s | yes they back off to the point it's |
| 3550s | going to actually be the coalescence |
| 3552s | used here towards the end |
| 3554s | for the justice so |
| 3556s | just felt that they needed that ultimate |
| 3557s | to push them over the line as propper |
| 3559s | will now move away from the widowmaker |
| 3561s | and go over to tracer so if he's not |
| 3563s | able to pick up those headshots right |
| 3564s | drill people at range when they close |
| 3566s | the gap it's going to be advantageous |
| 3568s | that's going to be a stick from assassin |
| 3569s | so after that first death assassin's |
| 3572s | starting to pick it up yeah this is what |
| 3573s | we're looking for from assassin to step |
| 3575s | into the shoes of decay in this matchup |
| 3577s | and all he had to do was find purchase |
| 3579s | on that ana |
| 3580s | without finning the mix for san |
| 3582s | francisco it was dire straits indeed |
| 3585s | now colluge now moves away from winston |
| 3587s | over to doomfist and i think when you |
| 3589s | look at assassin versus decay right we |
| 3591s | know how good decay is but sometimes |
| 3593s | we've seen like he can make these hero |
| 3594s | plays but also go off on his own like |
| 3596s | flank a little bit where assassin thing |
| 3597s | is going to play more around the team uh |
| 3599s | here maybe just kind of uh opens up a |
| 3601s | different playstyle for the justice |
| 3604s | finn again trying to stay safe but takes |
| 3605s | too much damage and happy was able to |
| 3607s | find him a sound barrier for the roster |
| 3609s | and justice means they can continue to |
| 3610s | pressure this advantage kilo tries to |
| 3612s | swing it around though with the attack |
| 3614s | visor he's unable to find mag there and |
| 3616s | happy realizes he's gonna pull the |
| 3617s | trigger multiple times in quick |
| 3619s | succession and it pays off the justice |
| 3621s | now sneak into the lead at 67 to 47. |
| 3625s | and kilo's gonna bring out oh it looked |
| 3626s | like he was gonna bring out ash for a |
| 3628s | second has actually seen played in the a |
| 3629s | pack reaching a decent amount but uh |
| 3631s | they're gonna concede they're actually |
| 3632s | gonna end up mirroring this composition |
| 3634s | with look at how much percentage that |
| 3636s | washington has on the clock the shock |
| 3638s | not in a great spot here in our first |
| 3639s | round |
| 3640s | yeah they're definitely conceding that |
| 3642s | happy is causing them more trouble than |
| 3643s | they were expecting probably that finds |
| 3645s | a bit of a give me his openers very low |
| 3646s | on hp out of the open |
| 3648s | with a pulse bomb now prop is looking |
| 3650s | for a target that's not just gonna fade |
| 3651s | away and shed that bomb forced to recall |
| 3654s | though is the rocket punch is scary |
| 3655s | enough even if it's not charged but this |
| 3657s | is 95 percent and counting right now for |
| 3659s | the washington justice there needs to be |
| 3661s | more here proper dispatchers assassin |
| 3662s | but there's still four players |
| 3665s | in presence for the justice they might |
| 3666s | just give over control here and try and |
| 3668s | regroup around this coalescence |
| 3669s | you're better off backing out here if |
| 3671s | you're the justice don't throw anything |
| 3672s | more into this you just need one fight |
| 3674s | to secure this first round and |
| 3677s | you can kind of use like the reapers of |
| 3679s | battering ram right use the coalescence |
| 3680s | behind the reaper with the lifesteal |
| 3682s | already it's there's not really anything |
| 3685s | they can do against that just it's such |
| 3686s | a large hp the pulse bomb is big it's |
| 3689s | important but happy is taken down he |
| 3691s | cannot be healed up by krillin it's a |
| 3693s | rocket punch that gets rid of him now |
| 3695s | most of the force behind the spear for |
| 3697s | the justices out of the picture they're |
| 3698s | gonna have to sit back and wait for |
| 3700s | another opportunity he had to take a |
| 3702s | large chunk of damage coming in as doom |
| 3704s | does not do the type of damage that |
| 3706s | doomed us on live uh with the rocket |
| 3709s | punch as had to take some damage maybe |
| 3711s | didn't have the wraith for him up the |
| 3713s | coalescence wasn't out in time but |
| 3714s | that's a huge pick that allows the shock |
| 3716s | to win that fight for free pretty much |
| 3718s | and now takes this to a one fight game |
| 3722s | 95 percent and counting it now the |
| 3723s | justice need to make it work without the |
| 3725s | coalescence into two support ultimates |
| 3727s | man i feel like they've dropped the |
| 3728s | spaghetti on this opportunity |
| 3730s | proper okay probing pulse bomb to say |
| 3733s | the least he's that coalescence from |
| 3734s | finn though he's a little concerned |
| 3736s | about assassins proximity but another |
| 3737s | pulse bomb goes wide and killer was |
| 3739s | taken down the sound barrier comes up |
| 3740s | now just in time for the justice the |
| 3742s | shocks is a little bit late they're |
| 3743s | gonna make do without kilo without most |
| 3745s | of their damage and happy's gonna death |
| 3747s | blossom to use but collusion he's even |
| 3749s | the ledger it's a 4v4 now with man going |
| 3751s | down and you better believe prop is |
| 3752s | coming back to the fight |
| 3754s | blossom claims violent here now finn has |
| 3756s | to keep the rest of the shot topped up |
| 3758s | as much as possible but happy's found |
| 3759s | yet another one here in overtime the |
| 3761s | justice look to flip the point back and |
| 3763s | the shocker running on drake's here just |
| 3765s | three players standing and they're |
| 3766s | forced away good start from the justice |
| 3772s | and we woke up this morning i thought |
| 3774s | this one was going to be this is going |
| 3776s | to be quick but before my cold shower |
| 3778s | mat i didn't have any thoughts |
| 3780s | i had no thoughts |
| 3783s | this morning uh but |
| 3785s | i think you see how the justices are |
| 3787s | adjusting their playstyle right with |
| 3788s | decay out of the game assassin like you |
| 3790s | mentioned earlier a little bit more of |
| 3791s | like a low economy type of player you |
| 3793s | don't have to put as much resources in |
| 3794s | it he doesn't demand he's going to play |
| 3796s | around mag right i think this lineup for |
| 3798s | the justice allows you to you know give |
| 3800s | mag the resources he needs and happy as |
| 3802s | well and you can play more around those |
| 3804s | two players play more of like a team |
| 3805s | oriented game i also think that doomfist |
| 3808s | comp at the beginning really kind of |
| 3809s | threw the shark off i think the shark |
| 3810s | maybe expected them to match with the |
| 3812s | widowmakers because you have such a |
| 3813s | great widowmaker in happy uh but the |
| 3815s | justice come out look really good early |
| 3817s | on adjusters have a tracer into an echo |
| 3820s | here which was sort of the first |
| 3821s | adaptation we saw from dps here or that |
| 3823s | tracer against the doomfist echo setups |
| 3825s | but prop is pretty fearsome and one of |
| 3827s | the few players alongside pelican for |
| 3829s | example that are still pushing the echo |
| 3830s | where they can |
| 3832s | kalooz tries to take control that mill |
| 3833s | map early on and makes that dive prop is |
| 3835s | going to be looking to stick to a target |
| 3836s | here an assassin who just harassed him |
| 3838s | while he can |
| 3840s | yeah just apply pressure and now you've |
| 3842s | kind of split this echo off his property |
| 3844s | to be really careful he's going to try |
| 3846s | and collapse on some of the players |
| 3848s | with colluge but oh yeah they're able to |
| 3850s | get the supports here in the back look |
| 3852s | they push the 76 and the supports all |
| 3854s | the way back into this alley really nice |
| 3856s | collapse there from the shot and you can |
| 3858s | see how these two teams |
| 3860s | value different options in that first |
| 3861s | engagement the shocks say okay we back |
| 3863s | away we know that we can just sort of |
| 3864s | dive on one or two players whereas |
| 3866s | assassin and mag were lingering pretty |
| 3868s | close to the point there one of that |
| 3869s | first cap so you they get |
| 3870s | 18 |
| 3872s | the shock have control of the map now |
| 3874s | and that jump from the high ground uh to |
| 3876s | the high ground from colluge that forces |
| 3878s | the supports and happy into that type of |
| 3880s | position and then he actually drops down |
| 3882s | and proper goes over the top of the |
| 3884s | building and they set that up really |
| 3886s | nicely getting a kill on opener is huge |
| 3888s | the burst from proper instrumental |
| 3891s | kalu's currently doused in the body |
| 3893s | grenades so we'll |
| 3895s | try and stay scarce for the time being |
| 3896s | assassin beware almost forced a recall |
| 3899s | there is probably looking to make you to |
| 3900s | the |
| 3902s | that's not supposed to happen |
| 3907s | you also think now |
| 3908s | around one may be a little bit of a |
| 3910s | wake-up call for the shock not gonna |
| 3912s | not gonna be smooth sailing here through |
| 3914s | the justice as the justice now have to |
| 3916s | back up but |
| 3917s | shock look much better here on this |
| 3920s | second point is you'll have a nano boost |
| 3921s | for the shock a few other ultimates |
| 3923s | coming online but i think this is an |
| 3926s | opportunity for the justice you have |
| 3927s | your nano you have your pulse bomb here |
| 3929s | early on before some of these big |
| 3931s | ultimates come up for the shot can you |
| 3932s | use them to get some picks |
| 3937s | trying to maintain sidelines here |
| 3938s | especially the proper he'll be harassed |
| 3940s | by happy and krillin as he approaches |
| 3943s | paul here for assassin finn a little bit |
| 3945s | isolated there on the point how do the |
| 3946s | shot respond it looks like they favor a |
| 3948s | counter dive here assassin expends the |
| 3950s | pulse bomb to get rid of the honor and |
| 3951s | collusion doesn't have a lot of healing |
| 3952s | to work with now it's going to have to |
| 3953s | be the primal rage instead he needs to |
| 3955s | prevent happy from getting value from |
| 3956s | this nano visor but collusion is just |
| 3958s | trying to sew as much discord as he can |
| 3960s | and kilo in a safe spot he's able to go |
| 3962s | for this tack visor and maintain control |
| 3965s | the point no list that's some slick |
| 3966s | stuff from the young guy yeah it looks |
| 3968s | like happy is so far behind uh enemy |
| 3971s | line so yeah he dies tequila as they go |
| 3974s | all the way back to get him so gonna |
| 3976s | have to wait a few seconds for happy to |
| 3978s | come off spawn is |
| 3980s | nothing has gone right for washington on |
| 3981s | this point |
| 3984s | just that first cap |
| 3985s | now they have to make something happen |
| 3986s | these last few seconds happy's not sure |
| 3988s | if someone's waiting for him he sees the |
| 3990s | coast is clear needs to drop and get |
| 3991s | value from his tactical visor |
| 3994s | he's gonna let it go now but what |
| 3995s | targets will present themselves the |
| 3997s | shock i just get about in the hatches on |
| 3998s | the point for the most part here but |
| 4000s | violet's been taken down assassins able |
| 4002s | to get in there and live up to his name |
| 4004s | looks like the shock you're gonna be |
| 4004s | happy with the lead they have give it up |
| 4008s | is they up to not invest near those two |
| 4010s | big ultimates to duplicate in the sound |
| 4012s | barrier still come back into this next |
| 4015s | fight they get mira with a sound barrier |
| 4016s | for washington but still |
| 4018s | they're playing on the back foot here |
| 4019s | they know that they cannot lose another |
| 4021s | fight or they will lose this point as |
| 4024s | your proper who do you try and copy here |
| 4026s | i mean you can go for the the winston |
| 4027s | you can try and get like at the 76 up on |
| 4029s | the banana as usual |
| 4031s | yeah the honda's been a popular pick as |
| 4033s | of late two sleep dance is pretty pretty |
| 4036s | busted there it is duplicate the other |
| 4038s | proper tries to go for this sleep by the |
| 4039s | grenade they're even more important in |
| 4040s | this context arguably that sound barrier |
| 4043s | from the justice is timed well by |
| 4045s | opening but they lack a player they lost |
| 4047s | max so early on here and they're gonna |
| 4049s | be hard-pressed to try and retake that |
| 4051s | bio doesn't quite connect for proper so |
| 4052s | he's back in echo four |
| 4054s | yeah the anna gives you some extra |
| 4056s | healing another cc right with another |
| 4059s | sleep dart another biotic grenade and |
| 4060s | then if you're able to build up towards |
| 4062s | it a second nano boost potentially in a |
| 4064s | fight right you nano two targets as that |
| 4067s | is uh |
| 4068s | it's actually crazy that the justice got |
| 4070s | 54 it seemed way more one-sided that |
| 4073s | round well let's be realistic to the the |
| 4075s | first 20 they got because the shot chose |
| 4077s | to take a fight off point uh get that 3k |
| 4080s | and then the second one well there's a |
| 4081s | good pulse bomb on finn but finn is |
| 4082s | playing point trying to maintain sight |
| 4084s | lines to both uh you know proper and |
| 4086s | collusion eventually he's just sort of |
| 4088s | body by a pulse bomb it's scary going |
| 4089s | into well though |
| 4090s | like this is a point that is so up in |
| 4093s | the air kind of coin flip because you |
| 4094s | can uh you can stall it for so long |
| 4097s | there's obviously environmental kill |
| 4099s | potential here in the middle of the map |
| 4101s | uh and then it becomes more increasingly |
| 4103s | difficult to take back is you have the |
| 4105s | soldier 76 and other fast heroes in the |
| 4107s | mix i can get back and just touch point |
| 4109s | and keep that going |
| 4111s | one more round to settle this first map |
| 4113s | on the ilios |
| 4115s | the shock definitely looking |
| 4116s | like they've managed to get rid of some |
| 4117s | of those early round jitters it'd be |
| 4119s | proper starting on the tracer here echo |
| 4122s | a little too vulnerable to cross the |
| 4123s | expanse between either side of this map |
| 4125s | okay a recall there for assassin |
| 4128s | needs to be careful now kilo is knocked |
| 4130s | off of the high ground and colluge wants |
| 4131s | to stake his claim to it |
| 4134s | he can't really stress enough how |
| 4135s | important this map win would be for the |
| 4138s | justice it gives them obviously tons of |
| 4140s | confidence going into the rest of the |
| 4142s | series it also is a bit scary for the |
| 4144s | shock right we talk about you know |
| 4145s | players you know playing at like their |
| 4147s | first land in front of the crowd like |
| 4149s | you're the faithful the overwhelming |
| 4151s | favorite right you lose the first map to |
| 4153s | a team that barely got in uh the |
| 4155s | pressure is all on you in that in that |
| 4158s | capacity right nobody comes into this |
| 4160s | match expecting the justice to take it |
| 4162s | if you're able to take this first |
| 4164s | that is a sick kill there from proper |
| 4166s | you feel great for washington uh |
| 4168s | washington though getting mopped up |
| 4170s | nice little sleep doc there from krillin |
| 4172s | able to stay proper off but he recalls |
| 4174s | instantly and he's in position to deal |
| 4176s | death |
| 4178s | unlucky for krillin there and already |
| 4179s | mag had to jump straight out oh my this |
| 4181s | is a little |
| 4182s | little sketchy for the justice early yes |
| 4185s | that biotic grenade and a few kills |
| 4186s | follow it up there it really starts with |
| 4188s | that tracer battle that's kind of what |
| 4190s | you miss with decay not being in the |
| 4191s | lineup right is decay can take those |
| 4194s | tracer battles and |
| 4196s | one of the best tracers in the world |
| 4197s | right he'll he'll come out on top and a |
| 4199s | good amount of those where assassin it's |
| 4202s | a really tough spot the guy hasn't |
| 4203s | played all stage uh comes in now has to |
| 4206s | play on land against the number one team |
| 4208s | in the in the league right now and has |
| 4210s | to match a player like proper on the |
| 4212s | tracer just a really tough task |
| 4215s | happy trying to get a bit of a vantage |
| 4217s | point here the attack vice is still a |
| 4219s | little ways off but he can definitely |
| 4220s | cause some problems and nicely done |
| 4222s | snaps up violet across the map mark got |
| 4224s | the nano although he hardly needs it is |
| 4226s | happy's little perch play allows him to |
| 4228s | rack him up |
| 4230s | and that's a huge win for the justice |
| 4231s | because you see just that first fight |
| 4233s | win for the shock gets him above 50 |
| 4235s | percent uh so you imagine with just like |
| 4238s | what the nano invested there you're |
| 4240s | gonna be able to use some of these |
| 4241s | ultimates to keep this going for a while |
| 4243s | if you are the justice you know you'll |
| 4245s | be able to invest that sound barrier |
| 4246s | primal to keep it going tack visor to |
| 4248s | you know push people back |
| 4251s | you have to be careful cannot let finn |
| 4253s | hit one of these massive sleep darts on |
| 4255s | the 76 on the high ground |
| 4256s | collusion is probably going to get the |
| 4258s | nano here and he does he'll be able to |
| 4259s | save that for the primal he may not even |
| 4262s | need him |
| 4265s | good pressure here on krillin there's |
| 4266s | got to be a sleep down down the sound |
| 4268s | barrier for the justice but they're |
| 4269s | lacking half again mag is also gone |
| 4271s | potentially even down the well killer |
| 4273s | doesn't have to use a tactical fighter |
| 4274s | and this is the worst case scenario for |
| 4276s | the justice the shock hold on to attack |
| 4279s | and primal rage here you know i wonder |
| 4281s | if matt just didn't get the primal off |
| 4284s | because |
| 4284s | if things are actually starting to turn |
| 4286s | a little bit for the justice where they |
| 4289s | end up picking up kill they trade |
| 4291s | they're then going to use the sound |
| 4292s | barrier force the sound barrier out on |
| 4293s | both sides uh you know matt could |
| 4296s | potentially use the primal there stayed |
| 4297s | alive in that like small house and then |
| 4300s | you would have had happy coming back off |
| 4301s | the respawn with visor you may have been |
| 4303s | good if you're getting knocked down the |
| 4304s | well you can also primal and then use |
| 4306s | the jump reset to get out in time as |
| 4308s | well |
| 4309s | he may have been asleep |
| 4311s | they're finding these shock supports |
| 4313s | like off on their own on the side |
| 4315s | they've done a nice job collapsing on |
| 4317s | them yeah finn especially takes pretty |
| 4318s | aggressive angles to get big bios |
| 4321s | gonna force the legs to start pumping as |
| 4323s | happy makes a quick exit but finn gets |
| 4325s | picked off again okay clues are gonna |
| 4327s | try and make use of the fact that |
| 4328s | everyone is grouped up in this room but |
| 4330s | he's put to sleep much better from the |
| 4332s | justices the shock some of their |
| 4334s | sloppiness and positioning gets exposed |
| 4336s | kilo no value from that attack visa here |
| 4338s | shock will have to give up the point |
| 4340s | yeah it's happened like two three fights |
| 4343s | now that we've seen maggie spot finn and |
| 4346s | violet over to the side |
| 4348s | and they like to play so aggressive like |
| 4349s | you mentioned he's able to jump right on |
| 4351s | top of them and make a play is |
| 4353s | they jumping now the justice they get |
| 4355s | really low |
| 4357s | okay attack fighter from happy nano |
| 4358s | boost as well everybody immediately |
| 4360s | gonna try and vacate the premises finn |
| 4362s | though just a little bit too slow |
| 4364s | the shock may be pushing a little |
| 4366s | too deep here |
| 4368s | and yeah they're gonna get reset hard |
| 4370s | i'm surprised the justice pushed him |
| 4372s | that deep i mean they they are in a |
| 4375s | position here or you know you could have |
| 4376s | played near the point taking a fight at |
| 4378s | any type of position you wanted to and |
| 4380s | when they push in deep there now happy |
| 4382s | end mag are both hit with a biotic |
| 4383s | grenade from finn and it looks like they |
| 4386s | were gonna be in some trouble they had |
| 4387s | end up using the nano |
| 4389s | and the visor it's assassin oh spotted |
| 4392s | not too sneaky it will get spotted out |
| 4394s | pretty quick fast gilly suit cosplay |
| 4396s | needs a little bit work apparently |
| 4398s | so he's forced back but he still has |
| 4399s | that pulse bomb to try and get in finn's |
| 4400s | direction |
| 4401s | finn can deploy that nano boost though |
| 4403s | ideally before he goes down pulse it's a |
| 4405s | big one did it stick no |
| 4407s | looks like krillin's gonna be able to |
| 4408s | dash away from it there and kaloush gets |
| 4410s | that nano boost here takes control of |
| 4412s | the side room sound barrier now gonna be |
| 4413s | deployed he's trying to get in deep but |
| 4414s | he's gonna be moved back instantly |
| 4417s | open a little open they've lost proper |
| 4419s | nicely done by the justice to snap him |
| 4420s | up there felix rocket across the map |
| 4422s | happy getting pressured a little bit but |
| 4424s | to lose in deep trouble well he flips |
| 4426s | the point back somehow by a little bit |
| 4427s | of time thankfully |
| 4429s | he with the body grenade but he's got |
| 4430s | the primal rage and fire that's gonna |
| 4432s | get happy |
| 4434s | no fin for the shock though |
| 4436s | proper chasing looking for either |
| 4438s | krillin or opening here |
| 4442s | is the shock in control of the point |
| 4444s | like you mentioned they do flip it it's |
| 4446s | a huge kill by violet unhappy you don't |
| 4448s | have the 76 in this fight for the |
| 4450s | justice |
| 4451s | kilo under pressure assassin probing |
| 4454s | krillin with the nana boost but under |
| 4455s | pressure himself as prop is looking for |
| 4457s | that out of pick up it's happy once more |
| 4459s | happy with the nano |
| 4461s | it's two and that's gonna be enough the |
| 4464s | fade forward from finn it's fruitless an |
| 4466s | attack fighter is a victory dance the |
| 4468s | justice start off with one in the ledger |
| 4471s | [Applause] |
| 4474s | and this is the tough thing about |
| 4475s | picking the washington justice |
| 4478s | flip a coin right now you get you get a |
| 4480s | justice team that they have a ton of |
| 4482s | potential and they show up and they live |
| 4484s | up to about potential some days some |
| 4486s | days they don't uh a duo we didn't |
| 4488s | really shout out that much during that |
| 4490s | uh first map i thought the supports on |
| 4492s | the justice played great yeah being able |
| 4493s | to stay alive against the collusion |
| 4495s | proper dive that really ruins a lot of |
| 4497s | other teams but krillin and opener found |
| 4499s | a way to keep each other up |
| 4501s | good looks for the justice here a bit of |
| 4503s | a different look on this roster but it's |
| 4504s | paying off thus far let's see if they |
| 4506s | can hold it together in map two right |
| 4508s | after this |

| 4760s | [Music] |
| 4773s | watch out everybody it looks like the |
| 4774s | justice roll on that 20 on the gamer |
| 4776s | check today we've got a better look from |
| 4778s | them than we've had |
| 4779s | in a little while first map |
| 4782s | goes their way against the top-seeded |
| 4784s | sam francisco shock |
| 4787s | with a roster a lineup that we didn't |
| 4789s | expect to see with assassin coming in |
| 4791s | doing a bang-up job on that tracer yeah |
| 4793s | it's a huge win there for the justice |
| 4795s | gives themselves a lot of confidence |
| 4797s | going in uh to the rest of the series |
| 4799s | definitely rattles the shock a little |
| 4801s | bit |
| 4802s | shock now obviously a championship team |
| 4804s | in the past |
| 4805s | uh no still have krusty you still have |
| 4807s | violet you still have some of you know |
| 4809s | the people who have been around that but |
| 4810s | really an entirely new crew so |
| 4813s | how can you bounce back into being the |
| 4815s | number one seed it's a lot of pressure |
| 4818s | and again |
| 4819s | having some of their positioning errors |
| 4821s | exposed a little bit in that last round |
| 4823s | you know you we talked up i guess the |
| 4825s | back line of the justice before the |
| 4826s | break but it's what we're talking about |
| 4828s | sort of uh you know the fact that |
| 4830s | they're able to really nap fin early a |
| 4831s | lot of these fights |
| 4833s | it's tough when you get in the live |
| 4835s | environment to play the same way you |
| 4837s | play at home just because you're even |
| 4839s | feeding off the crowd a little bit right |
| 4840s | like you hear the crowd like don't go |
| 4842s | crazy when you make some of these plays |
| 4843s | and that you're trying |
| 4845s | you may not realize that you're trying |
| 4846s | to just put yourself in a position to |
| 4848s | make those big impact plays and to |
| 4850s | really make a difference and to play a |
| 4852s | little bit out on the side maybe for the |
| 4853s | supports and i think it was just mostly |
| 4855s | the justices nice job capitalizing so |
| 4858s | it'll be decay coming in for assassin |
| 4860s | here in that map number two so uh we can |
| 4863s | talk a little bit about map number two |
| 4864s | it's the shark pick obviously they lose |
| 4866s | map number one uh they will take us to |
| 4868s | einkenfold |
| 4870s | decay |
| 4871s | obviously someone has shown us a lot of |
| 4873s | that that sort of tracer action |
| 4874s | alongside happy we won't need to be |
| 4876s | playing the reaper sam gets something |
| 4878s | for kilo here as well someone who we've |
| 4881s | seen make a pretty big impact on san |
| 4882s | francisco especially in the genji role a |
| 4884s | lot of teams are sort of pivoted away |
| 4886s | from using genji extensively since our |
| 4888s | first couple of weeks but sam featured |
| 4890s | in san francisco's debut match and |
| 4892s | looked very very good and one of the |
| 4894s | bigger um sort of the highlight points |
| 4896s | sort of following up a lot of the |
| 4898s | pressure collusion was trying to apply |
| 4899s | here so their dive is still well and |
| 4901s | truly attacking the substitution yeah |
| 4902s | and i wonder |
| 4903s | what he'll be into play because so you |
| 4905s | mentioned teams have moved away from the |
| 4908s | genji for a lot of different reasons |
| 4911s | uh do you see him played against you do |
| 4913s | they fall back on like a genji based |
| 4914s | composition here and i could vault |
| 4915s | there's a lot like high ground you can |
| 4916s | definitely play for it |
| 4918s | deep try and play like an echo in the |
| 4920s | mix uh it'll be interesting what the |
| 4921s | shark have cooked up here |
| 4924s | see decay currently is just getting on |
| 4927s | board into the server now as |
| 4929s | it's brought out from that substitution |
| 4931s | you can see happy here |
| 4932s | caused a lot of problems uh especially |
| 4935s | for colluge here but over overall in |
| 4937s | ileos this guy performed a flatter |
| 4939s | deadlift matthew accounting for at least |
| 4941s | half of his team's final blows himself |
| 4943s | the reaper play outstanding |
| 4946s | he's tremendous uh doesn't have like as |
| 4949s | a i would say like as much of a kind of |
| 4951s | like fanfare somebody like a prophet or |
| 4953s | somebody has but like you look at like |
| 4955s | just like mechanical skill like just how |
| 4958s | plays the game uh happy is up there with |
| 4960s | the best i mean think about some of the |
| 4962s | clips you saw last year when he was |
| 4963s | playing the hanzo |
| 4964s | for the houston outlaws like some |
| 4966s | tremendous plays out of him you know the |
| 4968s | pass on widowmaker even recently on |
| 4970s | widow |
| 4971s | just really really strong in terms of |
| 4973s | mechanical skill and i think you put him |
| 4975s | with some other players around him that |
| 4976s | can |
| 4977s | free up space for him to operate you'll |
| 4979s | see games like that yeah i mean happy |
| 4981s | has turned uh i mean we saw that clip of |
| 4983s | course of him getting jagged and him |
| 4984s | still going to find a kill now you're |
| 4986s | afraid of primal rage you're happy |
| 4987s | because you're just giving him even more |
| 4988s | sidelines to shoot people with even if |
| 4990s | you're belting his head in with winston |
| 4991s | so i wouldn't go that far i'd still say |
| 4992s | you primal rage |
| 4994s | i would i would dare to hit that shot |
| 4996s | again but |
| 4997s | [Music] |
| 4998s | sorry i'm walking today he was yeah very |
| 5000s | sort of dialed in i think this team |
| 5003s | definitely feels like they have a lot to |
| 5004s | prove |
| 5005s | you know probably know that they're a |
| 5006s | lot better than what they've been able |
| 5008s | to show the online play so there is zero |
| 5010s | pressure on the justice coming into this |
| 5012s | they are going up against a team that |
| 5013s | went undefeated in the stage looked rock |
| 5016s | solid they come in though they they get |
| 5019s | in right because of boston right and |
| 5021s | they're not able to don't be the fuel |
| 5024s | they don't beat the fuel um |
| 5026s | and you're just kind of playing with |
| 5026s | house money at this point you take the |
| 5028s | first map you're like okay like maybe we |
| 5030s | can make something out of this i also |
| 5032s | would be scared if i'm other teams like |
| 5033s | like you know even if they lose right |
| 5035s | it's a double elimination bracket they |
| 5036s | go down the loser bracket uh who who |
| 5038s | would want to see a justice that's like |
| 5039s | playing |
| 5040s | well or up to the potential |
| 5042s | yeah i don't think anybody would be |
| 5044s | fancying that seeing them on display now |
| 5048s | and here comes our second map of the |
| 5050s | series it will be eye convulver so |
| 5052s | again both teams maybe expect them still |
| 5053s | to gravitate towards dive based |
| 5055s | compositions the substitutions here |
| 5058s | probably don't change an expectation too |
| 5060s | much |
| 5063s | no i mean we we have seen teams run like |
| 5065s | zarya based compositions here uh |
| 5068s | i don't think i think mag or collusion |
| 5070s | is going to prefer that i wonder |
| 5072s | probably not |
| 5073s | i i think there's a better chance you |
| 5075s | would see the shock running like lou |
| 5077s | should be able to play it right uh and |
| 5079s | play like almost all the tanks uh i'd be |
| 5082s | shocked if we saw from the justice |
| 5084s | uh especially with mag in the lineup |
| 5086s | right it wouldn't be without collusion |
| 5088s | dirty in scrims yeah in a pre-season |
| 5091s | dirty |
| 5093s | keep an eye out for that one |
| 5096s | i don't uh see too much diva action yeah |
| 5100s | how long are you going to tell people to |
| 5101s | keep an eye out for that one until it |
| 5103s | happened the end of the season just keep |
| 5105s | keep your eyes keep your eyes on the |
| 5106s | ground keep your eyes open |
| 5109s | you might be surprised what some of |
| 5110s | these teams have to bring even if it's |
| 5112s | not beaver but he cusses right in some |
| 5114s | of these lines back down hey you don't |
| 5115s | mind the stuff he's working on he's he's |
| 5117s | gonna be ready don't you worry |
| 5119s | this defensive line up here for the |
| 5120s | justice |
| 5122s | no change |
| 5123s | krillin again going for his sniper |
| 5125s | cosplay |
| 5128s | someone should tell him his gun's poking |
| 5130s | out of the bush |
| 5132s | yeah just a little bit |
| 5134s | so so you'll have decay on tracer so |
| 5136s | interesting uh that you bring assassin |
| 5138s | for map number one take him out and put |
| 5140s | decay back in uh |
| 5142s | this does give you a better type of like |
| 5144s | head-to-head tracer matchup right with |
| 5146s | decay going up against proper uh it'll |
| 5148s | be interesting how they |
| 5150s | work teamwork wise around this is uh |
| 5152s | interesting so sam will play the reaper |
| 5154s | and he'll be proper on the genji here to |
| 5156s | kick things off lucio moira yeah it's |
| 5160s | very very dive centric it's a full |
| 5162s | commit set up here for sure |
| 5164s | prop has already managed to wrap his way |
| 5166s | around |
| 5169s | shock a little unsure about where they |
| 5170s | want to they're like if they're probing |
| 5171s | here they're obviously looking for |
| 5173s | krillin to be on a position hope to try |
| 5174s | and dive him kalooz goes in matt follows |
| 5176s | up the count of divers there that bionic |
| 5177s | grenade is pretty darn nasty |
| 5180s | drop it down as a result of that and |
| 5182s | collusion they don't have any burst |
| 5183s | healing the shock this is the problem if |
| 5185s | something goes wrong in the approach |
| 5187s | it's really hard for them to recover |
| 5189s | and another biotic ready krillin has |
| 5191s | been playing really strong today uh in |
| 5194s | that honor roll for the justice says |
| 5196s | it's kind of thing you're worried about |
| 5198s | from going to the season pulse bomb to |
| 5199s | the wall |
| 5200s | gets nothing the shock will have to back |
| 5202s | up though |
| 5203s | uh the benefit of running the moira is |
| 5205s | just the amount of just raw healing uh |
| 5208s | she can output and you're able to just |
| 5210s | build up this coalescence rather fast |
| 5211s | right you're gonna have it probably |
| 5212s | going in this fight |
| 5214s | yeah |
| 5215s | support ultimate's building all fairly |
| 5217s | quickly all things considered |
| 5220s | finn yeah maybe trying to break ello |
| 5222s | from this he has to fade away from the |
| 5223s | tactical fighters happy build that quick |
| 5225s | as well the coalescence fizzles for |
| 5227s | properties at least able to trade that |
| 5229s | kill happy has gone down |
| 5231s | but mag lands on the genji and this is |
| 5234s | going to be a bit of a messy one ladies |
| 5235s | and gentlemen |
| 5236s | he went for the beast i think he was |
| 5238s | inside what's the bubble colors didn't |
| 5239s | benefit from that at all nobody did uh |
| 5243s | as i gotta say i mean this this might be |
| 5245s | the best we've seen krillin play i like |
| 5247s | it like to start off a series uh right |
| 5250s | there it's a three-player biotic grenade |
| 5252s | they get two kills off of it then kalooz |
| 5254s | jumps in with the primal and he sleeps |
| 5256s | him like a second after uh just sick |
| 5258s | play there from krillin which ends up |
| 5261s | allowing the justice to hold on on |
| 5263s | defense mitch and they just use that |
| 5265s | nano and the visor here they'll have |
| 5267s | some ultimates coming in again |
| 5269s | violet gotta be fuming about that one |
| 5272s | the beat did not work at all they're |
| 5273s | gonna find the way towards happy though |
| 5275s | prophet doesn't allow him to escape |
| 5276s | sound barrier now for the justice mark |
| 5277s | doesn't get at this time but he has at |
| 5279s | least a primal rage to keep him going a |
| 5280s | little bit longer to lose bob's primal |
| 5282s | himself and propose able to find his |
| 5284s | second in the fight this time it's |
| 5285s | krillin |
| 5286s | that's a big one |
| 5288s | back to the point he goes to force decay |
| 5290s | out of position and the shot can move in |
| 5292s | i can't even see a clip of that like who |
| 5294s | woke colluge up |
| 5296s | closure's on the ground sleeping it |
| 5297s | looked like no decay like popped in |
| 5299s | there for a second i don't know if he |
| 5301s | like fired and actually hit him maybe |
| 5302s | like he hit him with like one bullet and |
| 5305s | woke him up but |
| 5306s | yeah that's unfortunate uh and waking up |
| 5308s | that winston is uh |
| 5310s | not ideal in that scenario as uh you |
| 5313s | know how happy on echo here going into |
| 5315s | this next stage of the map so no tracer |
| 5318s | on the other side uh no 76 so echo |
| 5321s | there's just verticality here to begin |
| 5322s | with but echo now being able to get |
| 5324s | above could provide a huge damage boost |
| 5327s | you really have very little to uh to |
| 5329s | harass happy with here so a lot of |
| 5332s | freedom for the echo for the justice |
| 5333s | will happen to maneuver into positions |
| 5335s | to secure those insta kills |
| 5338s | jump up from columbus doesn't commit |
| 5340s | here sam on the other hand though what's |
| 5342s | a bit of aji bhaji |
| 5348s | oh yeah proper off to the side he gets a |
| 5351s | little bit low biotic grenade they come |
| 5353s | in with the focusing beam take him out |
| 5354s | but |
| 5355s | violet with that aggressive support play |
| 5357s | he picks up one happy position to make |
| 5359s | another bills kill here but sam and finn |
| 5361s | explode |
| 5363s | coalescence and death blossom get used |
| 5366s | here there's a feeling maybe that |
| 5368s | san francisco while they don't exactly |
| 5369s | have a counter to that echo if they can |
| 5371s | strike before happy's in position it |
| 5373s | doesn't matter what the echo does and |
| 5375s | they just put pressure loads of pressure |
| 5377s | on to matt right with that reaper and |
| 5379s | the genji coming in does a decent burst |
| 5381s | with the the dash and whatnot |
| 5383s | that just made life really difficult for |
| 5385s | maggots that'll be a sound barrier |
| 5387s | dropped here by the shock as they want |
| 5389s | to engage with the sound barrier and the |
| 5390s | beat blade is here but proper is |
| 5392s | definitely oh he's generating a lot of |
| 5394s | threat to be sure sam was the one that |
| 5395s | was able to follow up and |
| 5397s | find those final blows |
| 5399s | shock my use of that |
| 5401s | sound barrier proper going in and they |
| 5403s | get what they can force |
| 5405s | happy day |
| 5406s | not able to make it back |
| 5408s | yeah it says sound barrier plus blade |
| 5410s | there for the shot to push up they get |
| 5413s | the payload close here but i think |
| 5414s | you're gonna have a contest for the |
| 5415s | justice and the justice have enough here |
| 5418s | to invest to win this |
| 5420s | decade looking for that back line there |
| 5422s | happy not where he wants to be right now |
| 5424s | he can't get through the door body |
| 5426s | blocked by collusion |
| 5427s | interior to insult us he's eliminated by |
| 5429s | the winston beautiful stick there sam |
| 5431s | looks like he didn't have a right walk |
| 5432s | to get away decay starts to turn up the |
| 5434s | heater mag is there at the primal rage |
| 5436s | great time for the justice to strike |
| 5438s | again |
| 5439s | collusion is headed for the kills yeah |
| 5441s | and this is toughest part of the map to |
| 5443s | secure especially with the composition |
| 5445s | that you're going to be running for the |
| 5446s | shock you want to like brawl out in |
| 5448s | these close quarter spaces but like look |
| 5450s | at the ground that they're going to have |
| 5451s | to cover you're going to have to go |
| 5452s | inside |
| 5454s | of this castle maybe take some of the |
| 5456s | high ground then drop down right you |
| 5457s | don't want to like wrap all the way to |
| 5459s | the bridge |
| 5462s | norway wants to be can't charge up a |
| 5464s | power block |
| 5465s | can't charge over full rocket punch |
| 5467s | either just tries to use it to make a |
| 5468s | reposition to lose just put the sleeve |
| 5470s | again cool one's able to find him with a |
| 5471s | sound barrier we'll help the justice |
| 5473s | worth of this but they're not in |
| 5475s | position sam will hold the door and oh |
| 5477s | yep man he's going to be denied a chance |
| 5479s | to touch here it will be contested with |
| 5481s | a meter or so to go focusing b was |
| 5483s | having a worker kill down have this |
| 5484s | found yet another one deadlift in the |
| 5486s | first map and now savior in the second |
| 5487s | it's another one for happy echo popping |
| 5491s | off |
| 5492s | yes you just have proper here as he will |
| 5494s | fall |
| 5496s | zero down at 30 seconds on the clock |
| 5499s | good hold here from the justice thus far |
| 5501s | i gotta say though mitch |
| 5503s | really good ultimates here for the shock |
| 5505s | coalescence you'll be able to follow |
| 5506s | this up you can go straight through the |
| 5508s | castle you got a death blossom there |
| 5509s | they have to play on the payload |
| 5512s | this this is definitely looking like one |
| 5515s | that the shot could get this objective |
| 5516s | and push it forward but decay wants to |
| 5519s | force him back |
| 5521s | pulse bomb already deployed to no effect |
| 5523s | here |
| 5524s | here it is coalescence is going to be |
| 5525s | used prop is already set up on the car |
| 5526s | but the death blossom inside the castle |
| 5528s | claims one and then |
| 5530s | sam's able to find happy at long range |
| 5532s | man he's indeed travel and decay can't |
| 5534s | do a thing about it he'll look on as the |
| 5536s | shock sail home for that second |
| 5538s | checkpoint yeah they end up getting |
| 5540s | violent before violet can end up using |
| 5542s | the beat but it doesn't matter they just |
| 5543s | kind of ran past everybody went and |
| 5545s | played for the objective you got a kill |
| 5547s | that happened on that high ground that |
| 5549s | was happy taking out violet and he had |
| 5551s | another player there i believe decay |
| 5553s | uh doesn't make the difference as decay |
| 5554s | is still behind right now so we'll we'll |
| 5557s | get a good view from decay as yeah he's |
| 5559s | gonna |
| 5559s | try and make a play on the flank |
| 5562s | sam knows he's there but the body |
| 5563s | grenade careening into the shock is |
| 5566s | more of an issue than decay's presence |
| 5567s | to be sure another fat one from krillin |
| 5570s | puts the shock in a bit of an awkward |
| 5571s | position they're not fully back down |
| 5573s | here either sam's given no choice he |
| 5575s | sent express back to spawn another |
| 5578s | three-player bionic grenade from krillin |
| 5580s | on these players onto the bridge |
| 5582s | as you've done such a nice job |
| 5583s | washington holding for a lot of the time |
| 5587s | for a lot of these points that you look |
| 5588s | at the clock the shop do not have much |
| 5590s | time left i mean 30 seconds at this |
| 5593s | point uh if you're the justice you win |
| 5594s | this next fight you hold it to like a |
| 5596s | spot where it's like basically just |
| 5598s | around this corner is their best |
| 5599s | progress you're in a great spot to |
| 5601s | potentially win the map sleep's gone |
| 5603s | here but for krillin but he hung on for |
| 5605s | so long he bought enough time for happy |
| 5606s | to find two one focusing too sticky |
| 5610s | and the shock again rolled this is their |
| 5612s | last chance man they're running out of |
| 5614s | time and the justice are winning these |
| 5616s | fights mitch which out investing |
| 5618s | anything |
| 5619s | all five ultimates coming in here |
| 5621s | towards the end to counter any type of |
| 5622s | mad rush that comes through sound |
| 5624s | barrier is gonna be there the touch is |
| 5626s | not |
| 5628s | in san francisco the runnings here |
| 5633s | severe washington at least you know you |
| 5634s | have the win condition you know exactly |
| 5636s | where it needs to be don't have to |
| 5637s | complete the map |
| 5639s | you don't have to get it all the way |
| 5641s | around the corner |
| 5647s | yeah for good reason |
| 5650s | interesting they really |
| 5651s | played this lucio morrow composition |
| 5653s | pretty hard they really wanted to force |
| 5655s | this even when they were you know |
| 5657s | dealing with an echo for example it |
| 5658s | seemed like there was never an |
| 5659s | inclination to |
| 5661s | go back bring a soldier into their |
| 5663s | composition you know work some hit scan |
| 5664s | pressure in they really wanted to play |
| 5666s | this sort of death ball this |
| 5668s | a very aggressive composition |
| 5671s | washington outlast them they've got the |
| 5672s | experience and the composure to sort of |
| 5674s | deal with that you know real impulse |
| 5676s | that uh the shock trying to play on |
| 5678s | their first push and interesting at |
| 5680s | least to come out here yeah on defense |
| 5682s | you're gonna have sam |
| 5683s | playing the 76 so this is a roll we |
| 5686s | usually see like either kilo or proper |
| 5688s | take up for this team but |
| 5690s | sam play the soldier because you want |
| 5692s | proper on that tracer but leaves me to |
| 5695s | believe they want sam's like flexibility |
| 5697s | for like lots of different heroes over |
| 5698s | the course of this map and he'll be the |
| 5700s | one that'll be switching most of the |
| 5702s | time but |
| 5703s | difficult to match up man if you're |
| 5704s | gonna go head-to-head against happy |
| 5708s | happy |
| 5710s | don't have the stats on me but i'm |
| 5711s | pretty sure he's putting up a similar |
| 5713s | performance to that map number one |
| 5715s | a lot of multi-kill scenarios at the |
| 5716s | hands of that echo and these fights so |
| 5718s | the shot didn't really have the tools |
| 5720s | to deal with it |
| 5722s | justice around the gates once more |
| 5725s | this time a little bit more conservative |
| 5726s | approach here if you're the justice i |
| 5728s | don't think at least in my opinion you |
| 5730s | don't mind mirroring this right with how |
| 5732s | you played today in this type of matchup |
| 5734s | i think you're totally fine with that |
| 5736s | yeah your executions looking good right |
| 5738s | now you know you fight yourself |
| 5739s | especially when you set a win condition |
| 5741s | uh that's pretty comfortable |
| 5745s | capping point a no first order of |
| 5746s | business for the justice they take about |
| 5748s | 30 seconds to get in position but this |
| 5750s | puts decay within striking distance and |
| 5751s | i heard that sleep dart go off spin |
| 5753s | needs to make yourself scares but it's |
| 5754s | another player |
| 5755s | [Applause] |
| 5759s | [Music] |
| 5760s | well the thing is is like they are |
| 5761s | jumping right on top of finn and he's |
| 5764s | under so much pressure he's so low that |
| 5766s | he's forced to constantly use his bionic |
| 5767s | party on himself and as soon as the dive |
| 5770s | comes in it's collusion proper they're |
| 5772s | constantly getting hit with these biotic |
| 5774s | grenades from krillin |
| 5776s | so they are so back breaking as that is |
| 5779s | basically instantly capped there point a |
| 5782s | by the justice says |
| 5785s | five minutes and 20 to get checkpoint b |
| 5788s | it's like an eternity it's so simple |
| 5790s | what the justice of pulling off here |
| 5792s | get close enough that one dive takes you |
| 5794s | you know into the face of your target |
| 5796s | find finn pressure him down and krillin |
| 5798s | just hits everybody grenade this angle |
| 5800s | by the way is |
| 5801s | not easy to hit them from and yes he's |
| 5803s | opening up these huge opportunities |
| 5809s | just both teams kind of jockeying for |
| 5810s | position at this moment i think the |
| 5813s | justice is probably just trying to gain |
| 5814s | plan on where they're going to attack |
| 5816s | you have collusion up on the high ground |
| 5818s | lots of players |
| 5820s | to your side but they're making pretty |
| 5821s | decent payload progress right like |
| 5822s | nothing's really happening both teams |
| 5824s | taking chip damage this will be a nano |
| 5826s | on a collusion this means it's go time |
| 5827s | to see what the fire name this is the |
| 5828s | best chance for proper but he's been |
| 5830s | alone in the entire time twinkle toes |
| 5833s | happy |
| 5834s | he's able to get away |
| 5835s | finn again not so lucky it's another |
| 5838s | body grenade opener from krillin |
| 5843s | i mean sorry probably his ankle snapped |
| 5845s | there big time |
| 5847s | yeah it's uh the supports they're not |
| 5849s | able to keep the supports alive well |
| 5851s | typically what the shock are able to do |
| 5852s | is like they're so good with their dive |
| 5854s | with collusion proper and you know sam |
| 5856s | when he's on the genji that they're able |
| 5858s | to take out the support so fast on the |
| 5860s | other team and make it back and that's |
| 5861s | not happened today for them against the |
| 5864s | justice where you're seeing krillin live |
| 5866s | for so long opener as well and that |
| 5868s | provides so much time for decay and man |
| 5870s | to make these plays |
| 5872s | proper worried about a point-blank helix |
| 5874s | rocket insta-kill there |
| 5877s | he went deeper |
| 5882s | three |
| 5883s | forty two to get this next checkpoint so |
| 5885s | much time to work with this time open |
| 5886s | this one he's gonna be here with the |
| 5887s | biota it's a sound barrier only for two |
| 5889s | man sleeping on the job right now so |
| 5891s | finn stepped up in this fight and |
| 5892s | krillin gets pulled over as proper finds |
| 5895s | that flank nice clean up for this shot |
| 5897s | here they need to do this consistently |
| 5900s | especially with how close that card got |
| 5902s | from decay yeah it's both soldier 76's |
| 5904s | are just like completely out of that |
| 5906s | fight uh happy was like all the way back |
| 5908s | by a spawn and i think sam was like kind |
| 5911s | of just playing off angle like waiting |
| 5912s | for they think like a one-on-one on the |
| 5914s | side they end up both sneaking past each |
| 5916s | other or maybe just kind of give it up |
| 5918s | on that but |
| 5919s | fight without a lot of damage i know for |
| 5922s | both teams really 76 is they're just |
| 5925s | putting out the same damage in this bill |
| 5928s | okay once again decay trying to draw |
| 5930s | someone back to the card has to be a |
| 5931s | very quick recall there for proper |
| 5934s | okay might have to reciprocate in a |
| 5935s | moment and take a health pack instead |
| 5938s | proper is here on this tracer to keep |
| 5940s | decay in check at least |
| 5943s | so far that seems like a tall order |
| 5946s | it looks like they're trying to sit up |
| 5947s | for advisor plays yeah that's gonna be |
| 5948s | happy on a flank with a visor and he's |
| 5950s | gonna get finn |
| 5955s | some fancy for work again from happy |
| 5957s | there was attack fighter there from sam |
| 5959s | as well but it looks like nothing |
| 5960s | presented itself and matt was there with |
| 5961s | the nano boost and here it is the |
| 5963s | justice |
| 5965s | a stones throw from victory their second |
| 5967s | map in this series |
| 5969s | they have three minutes and 49 seconds |
| 5972s | for 32 meters i mean and you see like |
| 5975s | the cart doesn't even have to get to the |
| 5977s | hard part of this push right you know |
| 5979s | it's usually that second corner it's a |
| 5981s | toughest thing sam is asleep they're |
| 5982s | gonna drop a white bubble nice play |
| 5984s | there from collusion |
| 5986s | it'll be so easy just to dive that |
| 5987s | soldier and eliminate him instantly |
| 5990s | okay more of that required from san |
| 5992s | francisco but for now it'll act as a |
| 5995s | release valve |
| 5997s | so you're gonna have to back up a little |
| 5998s | bit they end up using the nano here |
| 6000s | because you don't have the luxury of |
| 6002s | just holding onto ultimates if you are |
| 6004s | the shock so |
| 6005s | 310 available |
| 6008s | just like how we saw proper open up that |
| 6009s | fight with a big pulse bomb on to |
| 6011s | krillin you know decay could change the |
| 6013s | game here with a big pulse bomb |
| 6015s | and i know one of the supports could be |
| 6017s | a game changer |
| 6019s | back with primal |
| 6021s | final hoping to try and build this sound |
| 6022s | barrier as quick as he humanly can it's |
| 6025s | sam watered away by mag's dive |
| 6028s | the kind of time here for san francisco |
| 6029s | kalu is going to come in for the primal |
| 6031s | here and they do get happy |
| 6033s | another set up there from |
| 6035s | fit yeah collusion gets slapped but |
| 6037s | proper coming from the other side two |
| 6040s | big kills from property fights early |
| 6042s | back to back it's decay ends up using |
| 6044s | that pulse bomb and gets nothing so |
| 6046s | starting to mount to proper defense here |
| 6049s | for san francisco you're going to have a |
| 6050s | sound barrier available in this next |
| 6052s | fight |
| 6053s | and what is the play here from |
| 6055s | washington you know you could kind of |
| 6056s | use your sound barrier then maybe use |
| 6058s | primal at that point you'd have a nano |
| 6060s | because you know happy in that type of |
| 6062s | situation |
| 6063s | would be a big investment if you're |
| 6065s | going to do that |
| 6066s | now they want to lose here after he dove |
| 6068s | great reactive play from cohen there |
| 6071s | sound better right now it looks like |
| 6072s | it's on for young and all the justice |
| 6074s | are headed in not a great position to be |
| 6076s | in right now if your sam needs |
| 6081s | he needs to go huge here no connection |
| 6083s | on that one there's no one to touch the |
| 6084s | car properly can he get back it's going |
| 6086s | to be collusion has been taken down now |
| 6089s | just the 250 power blocks but he's |
| 6091s | forced away |
| 6091s | [Music] |
| 6094s | [Applause] |
| 6096s | [Music] |
| 6098s | [Applause] |
| 6103s | a surprise for the first two maps |
| 6107s | you know maybe something in the water |
| 6108s | here that justice like they got to |
| 6110s | relocate to dallas i mean they go 2-0 |
| 6113s | here against the shock |
| 6115s | so much pressure on san francisco but |
| 6118s | now the players on washington have |
| 6120s | turned up to another level today looks |
| 6122s | incredible man he has just dialed in |
| 6124s | right now a huge part of the justice's |
| 6126s | success so far they're a step away from |
| 6129s | sweeping the number one seed in the |
| 6131s | first match of the week unreal stick |
| 6133s | around to see if that's gonna be the |
| 6135s | story or if the shot can strike back |
| 6146s | [Applause] |

| 6399s | and private leader boards are here |
| 6401s | everybody that's right download the |
| 6402s | overwatch league mobile app on google |
| 6404s | play or the app store to make your |
| 6406s | predictions compete with friends and |
| 6409s | share your fandom uh don't know how your |
| 6411s | pickers went for this first matchup i |
| 6413s | think apple's already being smug about |
| 6414s | it now what's that group he claims to |
| 6416s | have made this 3-0 print for the justice |
| 6418s | league he didn't know he yeah he's full |
| 6420s | of it that's fine yeah we let him go |
| 6421s | he's stuck in australia you know these |
| 6423s | uh these these reddit analysts right i |
| 6425s | mean they always they're always right |
| 6427s | but you know they never got the pickups |
| 6429s | to back it up oh now you do |
| 6431s | now you do i mean the shock mat may have |
| 6434s | descended into defcon one territory here |
| 6436s | looks like they're uh |
| 6438s | i mean they're getting pumped |
| 6441s | yeah yeah i mean it's uh |
| 6444s | it's like this it's just being in this |
| 6446s | live environment right like dallas fuel |
| 6448s | talked a little bit about it right they |
| 6449s | end up losing to houston at the |
| 6451s | beginning of the season they just talked |
| 6452s | about like the adjustment to being back |
| 6454s | on stage and the crowd and it's just |
| 6457s | i mean you could not have a two wildly |
| 6459s | different environments than just kind of |
| 6461s | like playing from your |
| 6462s | apartment your home your practice room |
| 6464s | right uh everything out here when you're |
| 6466s | playing it feels like everything goes so |
| 6467s | quickly yeah i mean like you don't have |
| 6470s | time to think about your settings desk |
| 6472s | height all this stuff like you have to |
| 6473s | hope that you have that sorted out in |
| 6475s | advance |
| 6476s | sam stopped out of here obviously we saw |
| 6478s | him on the reaper so i'm going to |
| 6479s | soldier a couple different things that i |
| 6480s | can volder kilo back in alongside proper |
| 6484s | it's a tough position i think to be in |
| 6485s | where you make these substitutions as |
| 6487s | well uh |
| 6489s | they're trying to put your players in |
| 6490s | the best position and put your team in |
| 6491s | the best position |
| 6492s | uh they have a player come in now like |
| 6495s | like you played mapwa and you sat now |
| 6497s | you're back in |
| 6498s | the game is on the line |
| 6500s | right number one seed uh currently you |
| 6502s | still have the loser bracket but still |
| 6505s | uh not a good look it's it's tough |
| 6507s | especially in that damage dealer role |
| 6509s | when you're going up against players |
| 6511s | like happy and decay who |
| 6513s | at |
| 6514s | any moment they could be like the best |
| 6516s | player in the server like it's it's just |
| 6518s | like they just like flip a switch and |
| 6519s | like they're clicking on all cylinders |
| 6521s | at one point and they could be the best |
| 6522s | player in the in the lobby uh with |
| 6525s | players that have that type of potential |
| 6526s | it's tough this is another sharp pick as |
| 6528s | well uh as we go to dorado |
| 6532s | and it will be their last one even if |
| 6536s | they win this map i won't get to pick |
| 6537s | any more of them because |
| 6539s | [Applause] |
| 6543s | they would not be able to pick the next |
| 6544s | one because they would have lost the |
| 6545s | series that's right |
| 6547s | that was not the angle i was shooting |
| 6548s | for you you should start a youtube |
| 6550s | series on analysis i think i think it |
| 6551s | would go great no no no |
| 6553s | a there's a ton of overwatch league |
| 6555s | talented |
| 6556s | fringe on johnny in custody can you |
| 6557s | imagine if i started cutting his lunch |
| 6559s | oh this guy's gonna hit me with a bloody |
| 6561s | mackerel yeah you'll have to keep doing |
| 6562s | those workout uh those workout things |
| 6565s | hey speaking of workouts san francisco |
| 6567s | have to work it out now bringing kilo in |
| 6569s | here is a widow option matt but they'd |
| 6571s | have to be up against happy but on |
| 6572s | dorado |
| 6574s | in a game like this though right |
| 6576s | uh |
| 6578s | you're down to the wire |
| 6580s | like you know obviously i think dorado |
| 6582s | is a great map pick for this but |
| 6585s | a lot of this relies on like widowmaker |
| 6587s | play and it's like do you want to rely |
| 6589s | on you know somebody coming off the |
| 6591s | bench to play against happy on the |
| 6592s | widowmaker who's been in the whole |
| 6594s | series and who's playing well right now |
| 6596s | it's a tall task to ask akilo to live up |
| 6599s | to that i mean it's it'll be really |
| 6601s | impressive if he's able to do it |
| 6603s | happy after accounting for at least half |
| 6606s | of that more than half of his team's |
| 6607s | final blows in that first map has not |
| 6609s | slowed down the echo player on ike |
| 6611s | involved it was pretty punishing here |
| 6613s | san francisco make the reposition for |
| 6616s | the higher ground |
| 6617s | and they'll leave finn invited here yeah |
| 6619s | now you'll see kilos switch over to the |
| 6621s | widowmaker and then both teams run the |
| 6622s | brick of this now a brick uh pretty good |
| 6625s | on this map to help protect the |
| 6627s | widowmaker and the on off on the high |
| 6628s | ground also like the speed isn't as |
| 6630s | essential |
| 6631s | uh in areas of the map |
| 6636s | happy |
| 6638s | already handing out haircuts |
| 6644s | conclusion proper here we'll be the ones |
| 6646s | to ship the car forward now why the |
| 6647s | shock at least has that high ground |
| 6650s | set up early on definitely denies the |
| 6652s | justice from trying to play a high |
| 6653s | ground sort of defensive dive setup |
| 6655s | which many teams have opted for |
| 6658s | kilo sign lines here are a little |
| 6660s | limited until the map opens up for him |
| 6662s | so right now it's a lot of keyhole |
| 6663s | shooting |
| 6666s | also like that the justices are starting |
| 6668s | this off on the defense first you stop |
| 6670s | them here and you know you you put them |
| 6672s | in a really tough position she's really |
| 6674s | demoralizing for the shock going into |
| 6676s | round two right feels impressive |
| 6678s | fighting up kill gets this set up see |
| 6680s | kilo like i mean he'll get pressured he |
| 6682s | should have supports in the vicinity |
| 6686s | again having to i mean he right now he's |
| 6688s | not really covering any of those |
| 6689s | sidelines and decay he's able to harass |
| 6691s | go back |
| 6692s | and know akilo a little bit and just |
| 6694s | start rotating through here but that's a |
| 6695s | good start the shot will make the dive |
| 6697s | work and even if happy finds problem |
| 6698s | with that shot no less |
| 6700s | opener and krillin are down the healing |
| 6702s | is non-existent for the justice |
| 6704s | presently |
| 6704s | you do still have mac here with the |
| 6706s | primal rage you the k on the flank as |
| 6709s | both of those players doing tons of |
| 6710s | damage right now |
| 6711s | killer fighting to come here with a |
| 6713s | poison mine that's the problem with no |
| 6715s | healers |
| 6716s | he had already used recall too we have a |
| 6718s | rally in the mix here for the shock as |
| 6720s | they feel it's really important to get |
| 6721s | the card over the line happy that's |
| 6722s | another damaging kill |
| 6727s | he's entrenched |
| 6730s | and that card ain't moving for the time |
| 6731s | being kalooz tries to limp away but |
| 6734s | decay drags him down |
| 6736s | the thing with having decay in here as |
| 6737s | well uh the cake can just kind of play |
| 6739s | on his own we see him do it so much |
| 6741s | which kind of goes in these long flanks |
| 6743s | like taking like fights over on the side |
| 6745s | alone |
| 6746s | in this type of game where you can put |
| 6748s | so much pressure on kilo alone you don't |
| 6749s | even have to have math back there to do |
| 6751s | it i mean look at these shots |
| 6752s | uh has the benefit of the infrasight but |
| 6754s | still |
| 6755s | uh |
| 6756s | straight to the head look at the bio net |
| 6758s | on proper and colluse right now mag |
| 6760s | might be sleeping it off here colors is |
| 6762s | gonna go for that primal even proper |
| 6765s | nanoboost now as well |
| 6767s | oh |
| 6769s | my |
| 6770s | that's cold |
| 6772s | yeah that is some filthy stuff it's uh |
| 6776s | it'll be the shock |
| 6778s | take this first point decay kills and |
| 6780s | kilo on the other side of the map right |
| 6781s | so you see |
| 6782s | simply like the trees uh the widows |
| 6784s | taking this like battle they're right up |
| 6786s | against each other decay just on this |
| 6788s | flank like i wonder if he's actually |
| 6789s | just gonna try and spawn cam kilo at |
| 6791s | this point yeah why not continue to |
| 6793s | harass that widow as much as you can you |
| 6795s | just see how far away like kilo has to |
| 6797s | be so scared that he's just gonna give |
| 6798s | run up on by decay in any second he can |
| 6800s | use obviously that that's the high |
| 6802s | ground on the arch where it's really |
| 6804s | hard for decay to harass him but |
| 6806s | still frustrated to have to constantly |
| 6808s | make concessions for a tracer that's |
| 6810s | hunting you |
| 6812s | recall there girl scout cookie deployed |
| 6814s | and infrasight for kilo to stave off his |
| 6816s | attacker |
| 6817s | and you have to be thinking potentially |
| 6819s | for the justice do you want to invest |
| 6821s | rally and no play on the card or try and |
| 6824s | make a play because you're allowing the |
| 6825s | shot to set a pretty good time that's |
| 6827s | exactly what you're gonna see |
| 6829s | kilo grappling up |
| 6831s | looks like happy was looking for a more |
| 6832s | aggressive position now as well |
| 6836s | just slapping kilo silly |
| 6840s | and mag went deep with that primal as |
| 6841s | well a great chance now for the justice |
| 6843s | to stabilize and start to |
| 6845s | pressure that advantage in position |
| 6849s | on the other side you didn't get to see |
| 6850s | it so after opener gets a kill uh he |
| 6853s | starts like |
| 6854s | you know swinging on proper and they're |
| 6857s | both making a beeline for the health |
| 6858s | bank and an opener beat him there with |
| 6861s | the shield to just stand on the health |
| 6862s | pack able to get it proper so weak not |
| 6865s | in a position to do anything but it's |
| 6867s | huge fight win there for the justice |
| 6870s | decay |
| 6872s | he is sneaking |
| 6874s | spots finn i need to poison mine |
| 6876s | instantly happy to be able to take |
| 6878s | violet down and matt gets nano here |
| 6882s | and he's woken oh this could be a |
| 6883s | problem |
| 6888s | yeah mac pushes in should be able to get |
| 6891s | two more to finish this off yeah so |
| 6893s | some more time being drained off the |
| 6895s | clock here |
| 6897s | by the justices |
| 6899s | what are you playing for here nano blade |
| 6901s | potentially as kilo moves away from the |
| 6904s | widow will go to ash so um interesting i |
| 6907s | mean ash can access that high ground |
| 6909s | right |
| 6909s | uh soaking widow |
| 6913s | it's obviously not as good in that long |
| 6915s | range battle though yeah he's |
| 6918s | trying to hedge his bets here |
| 6920s | obviously we can pick into the |
| 6921s | widowmaker but maybe a little bit more |
| 6923s | better into the chaser yeah |
| 6925s | just having that coach gun |
| 6926s | forcing recalls from decay when you can |
| 6929s | k having to play card right now and |
| 6931s | finish absolutely scared |
| 6934s | of where happy might pop up next the |
| 6936s | cave |
| 6937s | drive-by |
| 6939s | does not stick the landing on the pulse |
| 6940s | bomb |
| 6942s | max left here a pri rather a |
| 6944s | fire underwater mag to punish could be |
| 6946s | good instead finn goes for the long shot |
| 6948s | no connection but there it is kilo |
| 6950s | clay pigeon shoots happy out of the sky |
| 6953s | he's going to get pressured even wants |
| 6954s | to go in despite the body grenade he has |
| 6956s | to blade |
| 6958s | another slash could damage an opener |
| 6960s | he's followed up on |
| 6962s | another sleep on towards mag and that |
| 6963s | primal is essentially wasted |
| 6966s | yep settled |
| 6967s | the shark taking that second checkpoint |
| 6970s | so |
| 6970s | kilo open things up when you get the ash |
| 6972s | into the medium range against the widow |
| 6974s | that's when the ash can |
| 6975s | really make a big difference is |
| 6978s | this part of the map ash might actually |
| 6980s | be a really strong pick so |
| 6982s | bob |
| 6983s | if bob isn't great right but lec forces |
| 6986s | out like a sleep potentially uh you have |
| 6987s | to do something with bob i mean you |
| 6989s | could like bubble him right and not go |
| 6991s | seriously but it's not great yeah |
| 6993s | you can reposition him around corners |
| 6996s | with brigitte potentially but still not |
| 6998s | great |
| 7000s | it might just |
| 7001s | require us to sleep immediately okay |
| 7002s | another long shot there the biofin no |
| 7004s | connection proper is in though |
| 7007s | on himself not a boost but the body |
| 7009s | grenade means that he can only go so far |
| 7011s | just dips his toes in comes out with one |
| 7012s | elimination without open up the justice |
| 7014s | give some ground i mean the insta kill |
| 7016s | onto oprah though i mean he gets nano |
| 7018s | just dashes right through his collusion |
| 7021s | here with him bionic grenade not enough |
| 7023s | to finish him off because who they |
| 7024s | actually take out proper on the other |
| 7025s | side of the map yeah he link is too long |
| 7027s | enough wait uh that was actually a long |
| 7029s | range shot there from colluge on the |
| 7031s | decay with that winston alternate fire |
| 7034s | dazes him down |
| 7035s | nice use of that alternate fire |
| 7038s | man controls the high ground now so he's |
| 7039s | happy to build some ultimate put some |
| 7040s | pressure on that back line |
| 7042s | he wants finn needs to go over the |
| 7044s | elimination finn's going to get a repair |
| 7045s | pack and mag heads for the high ground |
| 7046s | he put the case down collusion pops in |
| 7049s | play |
| 7051s | bob deploy to the justice |
| 7052s | [Applause] |
| 7054s | don't have mac in position to do |
| 7056s | anything i mean it wasn't |
| 7071s | with time in the bank so |
| 7073s | san francisco trying to keep themselves |
| 7075s | alive here i think that's huge there you |
| 7077s | got to get some type of positive |
| 7079s | momentum going in your way and we kind |
| 7081s | of teased that potential widowmaker |
| 7083s | face-off at the start of the round it's |
| 7084s | been less about kilo versus happy and |
| 7087s | more about decay constantly finding kilo |
| 7090s | on that widow harassing him denying him |
| 7093s | you know any sort of sight line and |
| 7095s | letting happy just be unfettered not |
| 7097s | having to worry which angle killer might |
| 7099s | trying to pressure from and happy |
| 7101s | constantly just getting these kills on |
| 7102s | violent right getting rid of finn |
| 7104s | punishing colludes with a head shot as |
| 7105s | he tries to dive in you do so much when |
| 7108s | you're given that kind of space by your |
| 7109s | tracer player |
| 7110s | i feel like they've been more effective |
| 7112s | of the shock this man with the genji in |
| 7114s | the mix uh that colluge and proper with |
| 7116s | proper getting like the nanos and |
| 7118s | whatnot uh not even the blades just |
| 7120s | being able to get the dash resets and |
| 7122s | you know be very aggressive have |
| 7123s | definitely given the justice a little |
| 7124s | bit more trouble than they were when |
| 7126s | they were dealing with the tracer setup |
| 7129s | so collude will play |
| 7131s | in such a position is to try and go for |
| 7133s | again that high ground defense but with |
| 7134s | this tp to the higher ground giving |
| 7137s | uh you know a really nice vantage point |
| 7139s | for the justice |
| 7141s | shock |
| 7146s | very safe |
| 7148s | what are we doing here we are tipping up |
| 7150s | here and it just took a little bit |
| 7153s | they kind of like crouched all the way |
| 7155s | up and like i don't know maybe this is a |
| 7156s | tracer i guess was close or maybe |
| 7158s | they're trying to beat the shock like to |
| 7160s | look or be a little bit out of position |
| 7163s | or something but |
| 7164s | nothing there now we'll get the |
| 7165s | widowmaker swap from happy |
| 7168s | so again as it was in the first round |
| 7172s | kilo has pretty decent sidelines here |
| 7174s | can play quite far back in that |
| 7175s | courtyard or as happy as the one that |
| 7176s | has to mix it up and start probing a |
| 7178s | little bit |
| 7180s | but we'll probably be out of pressure |
| 7181s | happy he's not playing the trace so we |
| 7182s | can't just get out |
| 7184s | i mean prophet's so all in in this genji |
| 7186s | role that maybe he has to leave happy |
| 7187s | until the fight really starts see i'm |
| 7189s | more thinking about how can decay put |
| 7191s | the pressure on tequila right because |
| 7193s | you're going to have to play through |
| 7194s | some of these close chokes right |
| 7196s | very easy to just get lined up by a |
| 7199s | widowmaker get headshot not as many like |
| 7201s | flanking opportunities here on the |
| 7203s | attack |
| 7207s | killer knows that at some point he has |
| 7208s | to try and stake his authority here |
| 7214s | [Music] |
| 7217s | there and he tried to get away the |
| 7219s | justice saw their opening no when they |
| 7220s | went for it |
| 7222s | oh geez that's quite a thing to wake up |
| 7224s | to isn't it |
| 7239s | grenade openings up kilo found a second |
| 7241s | on acrylism now he's getting some work |
| 7243s | done |
| 7244s | happy new infrasight was active so we |
| 7246s | sort of fake peak to that corner i love |
| 7248s | the rotation from killer but he gives |
| 7249s | himself away with a missed shot now he's |
| 7251s | putting the pressure on happy |
| 7254s | have a nano boost for the shock for the |
| 7256s | next fight maybe you could use it to |
| 7257s | build up the blade and maybe use it uh |
| 7259s | to build up primal and one available for |
| 7262s | the justice is uh |
| 7264s | he's found a little bit of an angle here |
| 7266s | a little bit of a route you see him on |
| 7267s | your screen just trying to take this |
| 7270s | this flank all the way up it's like yeah |
| 7272s | it looks like he knows |
| 7276s | boys in mind okay has to be a recall |
| 7278s | there otherwise decay dies to the ticky |
| 7280s | poison still wants the pressure kilo |
| 7283s | happy enough to get his hand oh |
| 7285s | you're kidding |
| 7287s | another from proper |
| 7293s | that is unrealistic talk about return |
| 7295s | december yeah you know how many times |
| 7297s | can you replicate that you would say and |
| 7298s | he's able to do so |
| 7300s | with these it's uh we do have a blade |
| 7302s | going on right now uh |
| 7304s | he gets shut down though by proper uh by |
| 7307s | an opener so proper ends up using the |
| 7309s | blade is uh the payload moving here |
| 7315s | now we're in the uh |
| 7317s | same boat as you going at the moment |
| 7323s | as uh four of those at home |
| 7326s | probably know what's going on still is |
| 7327s | collusion i want to find that primal |
| 7328s | rage here in the venue though it's a |
| 7330s | freeze frame oh no we're about we're |
| 7332s | back okay we're working on it |
| 7335s | all right |
| 7337s | still not quite to that checkpoint yet |
| 7338s | thanks for bearing with us here |
| 7340s | 38 seconds left for the justice they |
| 7343s | have to break through here the primal |
| 7344s | from colu's really messed him up happy |
| 7346s | has the infrasight though |
| 7348s | yes this defense has been great |
| 7350s | for san francisco is |
| 7354s | nothing here is |
| 7355s | justice trying to maybe go on a flank |
| 7358s | years |
| 7359s | dropping down on the supports man got |
| 7361s | headshot there i think instantly from |
| 7363s | kilo he's put to sleep now krillin is |
| 7365s | down it's gonna have to be the rally to |
| 7367s | carry the justice forward but proper |
| 7369s | starting to run right off there with the |
| 7371s | tracer it's three at a critical point |
| 7374s | from range |
| 7377s | and that should be enough to put him to |
| 7378s | bed you have |
| 7381s | [Applause] |
| 7387s | [Applause] |
| 7393s | key are also coming off for the bench |
| 7395s | able to play that widow at a high level |
| 7398s | lead the shock to a map win there but |
| 7401s | it'll be the justice map pick for push |
| 7403s | so |
| 7404s | justice will be able to take it to the |
| 7405s | map that they feel the best on with an |
| 7407s | opportunity to close it out no more map |
| 7409s | picks for the shock left in this series |
| 7411s | they're gonna have to hope |
| 7413s | to be able to step up or whatever the |
| 7415s | justice throws at them |
| 7417s | timely substitution with kilo coming in |
| 7419s | alongside proper and we get to see them |
| 7421s | succeed at this sort of most well-known |
| 7423s | roles the proper genji that's two |
| 7426s | deflected headshots against widowmakers |
| 7428s | we rarely see one |
| 7429s | in a week of play they are so rare in |
| 7432s | proper found two incredible stuff san |
| 7434s | francisco got the flare but can they |
| 7436s | outlast the justice stick around you're |
| 7438s | sure to find out |
| 7442s | [Applause] |
| 7467s | [Music] |
| 7477s | [Music] |
| 7485s | [Music] |
| 7500s | so |
| 7505s | [Music] |
| 7538s | [Music] |
| 7589s | [Music] |
| 7600s | [Music] |
| 7609s | [Music] |
| 7628s | [Music] |
| 7640s | [Music] |
| 7661s | [Music] |
| 7695s | [Applause] |
| 7698s | whoever said lightning doesn't strike |
| 7700s | twice has never met the san francisco |
| 7702s | shot |
| 7705s | some of the most hardcore carry |
| 7707s | performances that i've ever seen just a |
| 7709s | depth of talent on their roster that |
| 7711s | can't be denied i mean what more can you |
| 7713s | ask in the shop this is going to be a |
| 7715s | wild ride |
| 7718s | pilot is cracked he's out of his mind |
| 7721s | i say that justice okay |
| 7724s | at face with everything right now jesus |
| 7726s | christ |
| 7728s | deadlifting right now actually |
| 7731s | finishing doing so much cleans it up |
| 7733s | right dps |
| 7735s | san francisco has cemented themselves as |
| 7737s | the greatest team in overwatch |
| 7744s | the overwatch league's most decorated |
| 7746s | franchise here in a new era for their |
| 7749s | roster struggle early in this series |
| 7752s | against the washington justice yes it's |
| 7754s | double elimination here at the kickoff |
| 7756s | clash but falling to the lower bracket |
| 7758s | this early is something that they truly |
| 7760s | are hoping to avoid a little bit of a |
| 7762s | shaky start but a great bounce back |
| 7764s | matthew on the map of dorado |
| 7767s | yeah when we go into this fourth map in |
| 7769s | the set it will be push our newest game |
| 7771s | mode uh to competitive overwatch |
| 7775s | i also would say a lot of teams probably |
| 7777s | have the preference to go to new queen |
| 7779s | street that's where we're going to be |
| 7781s | going here |
| 7782s | in this series so is it a map pick for |
| 7784s | the justice yes but obviously you have |
| 7786s | two maps to pick from right and one is |
| 7788s | heavily favored over the other by a |
| 7790s | majority of i know the players so you're |
| 7792s | going to a map that probably both teams |
| 7794s | would have selected in this type of |
| 7796s | position so might not be the hugest |
| 7798s | advantage in terms of map pick here |
| 7801s | for the washington justice but |
| 7804s | on the inverse side of things push is a |
| 7806s | mode that if you get off you know we've |
| 7807s | been talking a little bit about it with |
| 7808s | like us in the back if you can get off |
| 7811s | to a pretty good start right uh you get |
| 7813s | like 40 50 meters right it puts so much |
| 7816s | pressure on the other team because it's |
| 7817s | not a ton of time on the clock it takes |
| 7819s | that bot a long time to move you got to |
| 7821s | win a few fights in a row to match that |
| 7824s | point |
| 7825s | you could winning this first fight and |
| 7827s | getting like good value out of it could |
| 7829s | really set you up well for the rest of |
| 7831s | the game |
| 7832s | for my money |
| 7833s | this is going to be about the tracer |
| 7835s | players in a big way this map caters |
| 7837s | rather well to those individual |
| 7840s | flankers |
| 7841s | and decay is absolutely |
| 7843s | one of those so proper really come alive |
| 7845s | with that genji i mean the genji is |
| 7846s | really a standout right there are teams |
| 7848s | that have been able to leverage that to |
| 7849s | great success especially in a pack or i |
| 7850s | want to i think of you know zest on the |
| 7852s | philadelphia fusion yeah they still want |
| 7854s | us i mean so if you want about their |
| 7855s | team's |
| 7856s | record so far |
| 7858s | heartbreaking as it is for me but i mean |
| 7860s | the genji was was huge for proper you |
| 7862s | have to play it differently to the |
| 7863s | tracer but you you're not surprised to |
| 7865s | see him |
| 7866s | hovering here |
| 7868s | on new queen street |
| 7869s | who will be the mightiest of the |
| 7871s | flankers we're going to find out in just |
| 7874s | a moment |
| 7875s | i think you're looking at the justice |
| 7877s | side of things |
| 7878s | krillin obviously played a great series |
| 7880s | thing happy as well |
| 7882s | looking at decay and mac maybe they can |
| 7883s | be difference makers here and for the |
| 7885s | shock can proper keep up that level of |
| 7887s | play we just saw in dorado yeah |
| 7891s | gotta admit him and killer coming alive |
| 7892s | there was |
| 7893s | quite timely for san francisco |
| 7897s | again we get a bit of a neutral fight |
| 7898s | here on this ledge |
| 7900s | and let's give it a dive in by mag he's |
| 7902s | looking for a bit of something |
| 7905s | that's a proper playing pretty |
| 7906s | passionately actually |
| 7907s | control early it's a lot of good space |
| 7909s | created there because he was a |
| 7911s | two-player biotic grenade on a kilo in |
| 7913s | violet and they both got really low so |
| 7915s | they had to back out and this kind of |
| 7917s | concedes some of this high ground |
| 7919s | completely to the justice |
| 7921s | one biotic grenade converts into such a |
| 7924s | big lead early |
| 7926s | proper lingers a little bit in the back |
| 7927s | line and falls under happy scrutiny |
| 7929s | forced to recall |
| 7931s | collusion won't that have that option |
| 7932s | though so finn needs to keep him topped |
| 7934s | up |
| 7936s | both these teams are looking for a way |
| 7937s | to wrap around each other a lot of |
| 7938s | jockeying for position happening right |
| 7940s | now |
| 7941s | maybe you do have the justice in control |
| 7942s | of the bar you're kidding |
| 7945s | that is fast i mean no opportunity for |
| 7947s | happy to even react |
| 7949s | another biological lose though that |
| 7951s | allows decay to reciprocate |
| 7953s | still the shock looked like they're |
| 7954s | feeling a bit more confident yes they're |
| 7956s | down collusion |
| 7957s | they have both dps in play crucially |
| 7959s | that soldier 76 max hoping to try and do |
| 7962s | something about the deficit another |
| 7963s | cracker of a bio nade from krillin yeah |
| 7966s | i was going to say you still have your |
| 7967s | tank in the mix though |
| 7969s | for the justices it'll be kilo with |
| 7971s | attack visor and he's gonna pop it now |
| 7973s | he knows how important it is to stop |
| 7975s | this potential push oh krillin couldn't |
| 7977s | get away from it there and now kilo |
| 7978s | could drop in behind that's two and |
| 7981s | counting ladies and gentlemen |
| 7983s | and mac has nowhere to go |
| 7985s | san francisco win that first big |
| 7987s | engagement after so much positioning |
| 7991s | as the bottle move quite fast back to |
| 7993s | the barrier |
| 7994s | start to get it going but the justice |
| 7996s | got 15 meters during that you imagine |
| 7999s | the shot gonna get about the same |
| 8001s | probably a bit more here yet they will |
| 8003s | take the lead |
| 8006s | ponderously that the barrier will |
| 8007s | advance in the meantime it's |
| 8009s | probably just run to the krillin the set |
| 8011s | up with the bio is good and a stick it's |
| 8013s | a follow-up that you already dream about |
| 8016s | happy goes for the biotic field there |
| 8018s | proper realizes he doesn't have the gas |
| 8019s | in the tank but kilo sure does he sends |
| 8022s | a salvo and clips happy with the helix |
| 8024s | these biotic grenades from both animals |
| 8026s | are the thing that's dictating a lot of |
| 8027s | these fights this whole this whole game |
| 8029s | yeah that time it was finn with three |
| 8031s | players the connection and you see how |
| 8033s | easy it is for collusion proper to go in |
| 8036s | and mop it up |
| 8039s | the justice scrabbling to get back in |
| 8040s | position happy takes a hit as he gets |
| 8042s | that high ground set up |
| 8044s | getting the front spawn we're pretty |
| 8046s | advantageous here for the shock early |
| 8047s | happy might want to try and flank around |
| 8049s | with this attack |
| 8050s | no nano to follow it up here so he needs |
| 8052s | to make sure there's no bubbles in his |
| 8053s | way and here's the attack kalooz jumped |
| 8055s | in without his bubble but he's going to |
| 8057s | have the primal if he needs it the sound |
| 8058s | barrier though seems to have done the |
| 8059s | job at proper |
| 8061s | takes matters into his own hands |
| 8064s | it's a shocker speed running here on new |
| 8067s | queen streets |
| 8069s | they're gonna get control of the bot |
| 8070s | again that will be the front spawn |
| 8073s | inside the bottle take a little bit to |
| 8076s | move the barrier on forward |
| 8079s | so you know you you have some ultimates |
| 8081s | to work with here you see on the justice |
| 8082s | side they really don't have much you in |
| 8084s | this one for the shock you're in a spot |
| 8086s | where like oh oddly you could |
| 8087s | potentially finish the map |
| 8090s | primal now from colluge here |
| 8092s | decay force to try and look for that |
| 8093s | health pack and proper is keeping him |
| 8095s | under wraps right now |
| 8098s | once again the tracer's dual |
| 8101s | recall from proper he has a pulse bomb |
| 8103s | to spend here mac might have to primal |
| 8105s | as he wakes up he got that forced from |
| 8107s | the sleep dart he would have been done |
| 8108s | for otherwise but happy standing inside |
| 8110s | the biotic field with a healer at his |
| 8112s | back crumples under the pressure of |
| 8114s | proper in the shock and that's another |
| 8116s | stick this guy is out of his mind |
| 8119s | yes the justice end up using the nano |
| 8122s | here on to mag and you still have three |
| 8124s | players up you're gonna lose decay |
| 8126s | you're gonna lose mag as you're gonna |
| 8128s | have that forward spawn |
| 8130s | it'll be finn coming back with kilo |
| 8132s | you have a nano visor though the bots |
| 8134s | gonna get around this corner you have |
| 8136s | nothing further justice you could see a |
| 8138s | finish i mean |
| 8140s | proper is |
| 8142s | unreal |
| 8144s | first against you that previous map now |
| 8145s | the tracer is just racking up those |
| 8147s | kills |
| 8149s | if you're in position it's a tight angle |
| 8150s | he can't yet he's trying to get eyes on |
| 8152s | collusion it looks like they're trying |
| 8153s | to flank with his visor |
| 8156s | all right now |
| 8159s | pushes forward here maybe create some |
| 8160s | spacing and set up for kilo to flank |
| 8162s | with his attack fighter founder k again |
| 8164s | winning the tracer duel the kilo a |
| 8166s | little less confident about pressing his |
| 8168s | advantage right now |
| 8170s | mag jumps in his face and here's that |
| 8171s | sound barrier collusion benefit from |
| 8173s | vandal happy a purple shower |
| 8176s | san francisco are here with the bio as |
| 8178s | well |
| 8179s | now i have to slow the pace down a |
| 8180s | little bit here pulse from decay |
| 8182s | connects |
| 8183s | and they'll get cleaned up |
| 8185s | oh man this is so difficult for the |
| 8188s | justice |
| 8189s | how i talked about earlier on right you |
| 8191s | get an early lead it's so difficult to |
| 8193s | win it now fights to bring it back look |
| 8194s | at this 90 meters |
| 8196s | to 15. |
| 8198s | so you only have two minutes 42 on the |
| 8200s | clock uh you're gonna have a little bit |
| 8202s | of an ultimate advantage here for the |
| 8204s | justice i think it's uh essential for |
| 8207s | them to win this next fight with very |
| 8210s | little to no investment try and give us |
| 8212s | almost nothing you're going to need |
| 8214s | what two to three more fight wins after |
| 8216s | this to beat that |
| 8219s | hardly an option is it i mean |
| 8221s | matt gets slept that primal might be his |
| 8223s | only |
| 8224s | you know his only choice |
| 8226s | to try and stay alive keep his team in |
| 8228s | the fight happy frustrating has to play |
| 8230s | the long range game here he's trying to |
| 8232s | close the gap you see as he crosses the |
| 8233s | causeway |
| 8235s | all right here we go proper pulse decay |
| 8238s | able to get ahead of that one can we |
| 8240s | just sleeping right now during his |
| 8241s | primal and kilo |
| 8243s | found decay with that helix |
| 8245s | now we talk about justice not spending |
| 8247s | too much here they have to go for both |
| 8249s | support outs back |
| 8252s | they're going to hold on to this primal |
| 8253s | looks like but they have to back off of |
| 8255s | the bot a little bit now they'll start |
| 8257s | to get it going |
| 8258s | get above 20 meters as we're down to a |
| 8260s | minute and 40 on the clock this visor |
| 8263s | for kilo could be massive oh actually |
| 8265s | they sleep proper that's massive |
| 8268s | what a way to open up the fight the |
| 8270s | justice here with the player advantage |
| 8272s | biomate on happy's unlikely to bother |
| 8274s | him too much here this is big the |
| 8276s | justice |
| 8277s | have to either win these fights in a row |
| 8278s | or force the shock to disengage and get |
| 8280s | that extra progress 45 meters they're |
| 8283s | halfway there i mean that sleep and kill |
| 8286s | got them another like 20 meters right |
| 8287s | there |
| 8290s | max diving in right now he has primer |
| 8292s | he's gonna have to use it if things get |
| 8293s | a sticky and they already spin having to |
| 8294s | buy her tonight himself again |
| 8296s | kilo falls back down tactical fights i'm |
| 8298s | not gonna be under a little bit of |
| 8299s | pressure but finn was found by the pulse |
| 8301s | bomb killer looking for something |
| 8303s | anybody to try and even the ledger he |
| 8306s | comes up with nothing and he extends |
| 8307s | pretty deep |
| 8308s | is back into the fight now and there's a |
| 8310s | decent amount of pressure on decay |
| 8312s | eventually he's gonna get brought down |
| 8313s | and krillin's in a compromising position |
| 8314s | in the back line sleep dart got used in |
| 8316s | the sound barrier means that the shot |
| 8318s | can go a little deeper for this fight |
| 8319s | win and they'll have it |
| 8321s | man that is a back breaker there for the |
| 8324s | justice to lose |
| 8326s | that look like their fight to win they |
| 8328s | ended up getting a little bit of an |
| 8329s | advantage early on |
| 8332s | extra ultimates there for the shock to |
| 8334s | move them over the line this is bad |
| 8335s | right because the bot's going to start |
| 8336s | moving faster towards the shocks of |
| 8339s | barrier see where it is on your screen |
| 8341s | it's going to make the justice go even |
| 8343s | further |
| 8345s | adjusters have to dig deep here you have |
| 8346s | to hope to have it expanded all of their |
| 8348s | star power |
| 8349s | it's a terrible opener though they've |
| 8351s | lost happy to finn at long range yeah |
| 8354s | dropper definitely had krillin dead to |
| 8355s | rights there a mag is just hunting for |
| 8357s | eight targets |
| 8358s | finn keeps himself scarce but oh it's |
| 8360s | just gonna be mag returning to the bot |
| 8362s | here it's over for the justice i have |
| 8365s | very little to work with right now and |
| 8366s | mag is just trying to stay alive okay |
| 8368s | wait a minute the sound barrier to keep |
| 8369s | them in a little bit longer no matt |
| 8371s | brought down now it's just opener on the |
| 8373s | bot he's going to be forced away his |
| 8374s | overtime kicks down and san francisco |
| 8377s | have set up a map five |
| 8380s | and decided in his first match of the |
| 8383s | king of class |
| 8384s | they were dominant there on new queen |
| 8387s | street |
| 8388s | they get 90 meters with that push early |
| 8390s | on |
| 8392s | and they never look back uh the justice |
| 8394s | when you give up that much of a a push |
| 8397s | early there's really nothing you can do |
| 8399s | to battle back from it is |
| 8401s | now all the pressure has swung back onto |
| 8403s | washington you go up 2-0 against the |
| 8405s | number one seed you gotta close on those |
| 8408s | opportunities |
| 8409s | san francisco here a reverse sweep |
| 8412s | scenario against the justice he's on the |
| 8415s | cards don't go too far everybody the |
| 8417s | decider in this first exciting match |
| 8420s | it's coming right up |
| 8436s | not |
| 8445s | [Music] |
| 8459s | [Music] |
| 8465s | you know what it is |
| 8468s | [Music] |
| 8490s | [Music] |
| 8518s | [Music] |
| 8534s | [Applause] |
| 8538s | [Music] |
| 8541s | uh |
| 8546s | [Music] |
| 8579s | so |
| 8585s | [Music] |
| 8593s | [Music] |
| 8600s | [Music] |
| 8605s | you know what it is |
| 8613s | [Music] |
| 8631s | [Music] |
| 8659s | well i'll be honest with you man i |
| 8660s | didn't exactly think we'd be in a |
| 8662s | potential reverse sweep scenario this |
| 8664s | early |
| 8665s | in the kickoff clash |
| 8667s | slow start for the shock but looks like |
| 8669s | they've found their land legs |
| 8672s | it's it's a bit surprising with how the |
| 8674s | first two maps went the first two maps |
| 8677s | uh we're rather close though uh still it |
| 8679s | felt like the justice had all momentum |
| 8682s | everything was on their side |
| 8685s | dorado seemed to flip a little bit |
| 8687s | go towards the shock and then last map |
| 8689s | was dominant we do have some subs here |
| 8691s | for this game five assassin will be in |
| 8694s | for the justice so he played in their |
| 8696s | control uh map in game number one uh and |
| 8699s | then we will have sam who comes in for |
| 8702s | kilo |
| 8704s | i get why teams do this right they have |
| 8706s | players they want to play in certain |
| 8707s | situations and whatnot |
| 8709s | uh i always do feel bad for players who |
| 8712s | are brought off the bench kind of cold |
| 8714s | into a game five i mean what assassin |
| 8717s | has not played since the first map in |
| 8718s | the series and then |
| 8720s | you know what is he in the back shooting |
| 8722s | bots you expect them to just get up on |
| 8723s | stage and go for it i always feel like |
| 8725s | it's a really tough spot to put the |
| 8727s | players in |
| 8729s | and we may see |
| 8730s | san francisco return that lucio moira |
| 8733s | composition right with the reaper |
| 8735s | involved one that it looked like the |
| 8738s | justice were well and truly prepared to |
| 8740s | deal with |
| 8741s | yeah you're not uh you're not seeing |
| 8742s | things ladies and gentlemen our last map |
| 8744s | of the series the decider we're headed |
| 8746s | to liang tower |
| 8748s | i'll give you a little bit of a hint on |
| 8750s | this uh state |
| 8751s | it's gonna be uh pretty closed in |
| 8755s | so we'll get a chance to see what both |
| 8758s | teams want to run early on |
| 8760s | uh you think no obviously sam in the |
| 8762s | game has a ton of flexibility i'm gonna |
| 8764s | play a ton of different stuff right the |
| 8766s | reaper the genji maybe some uh you know |
| 8768s | echo right they played like echo soldier |
| 8770s | where i think he played the soldier on i |
| 8771s | can fall uh at least thus far looks like |
| 8775s | we'll be hovering the reaper i expect |
| 8777s | the shot to run what they're showing |
| 8778s | right now |
| 8779s | uh do not expect the justice to run this |
| 8782s | uh |
| 8784s | maybe maybe but not the reinhardt i |
| 8786s | would say probably you'll see something |
| 8788s | different than the ryan |
| 8790s | proper coming off a deadlift on new |
| 8791s | queen street 15 out of 29 final blows on |
| 8795s | that map and i mean we saw the tracer |
| 8797s | just dominating the kill feed |
| 8799s | this is some more of an expected lineup |
| 8801s | it will be lucio and moira for the shock |
| 8803s | but more interestingly |
| 8804s | for the justice as well krillin is off |
| 8807s | the honor off the honor magazine |
| 8810s | um |
| 8811s | uh this is the first time i think we've |
| 8813s | seen barista |
| 8815s | as uh |
| 8816s | yeah no very strong during the pvp beta |
| 8819s | i think uh |
| 8820s | using the uh spear the twirl and getting |
| 8823s | in the mix uh really making it an issue |
| 8826s | for teams it's the first time i think |
| 8828s | we've seen it though now |
| 8830s | yeah this is bizarre |
| 8832s | going for it in a map five |
| 8835s | my god again we know we felt arisa was |
| 8837s | pretty strong right especially |
| 8839s | in our testing javelin spin here to send |
| 8842s | mag4 with a bit of a speed boost |
| 8844s | destroying those projectiles but |
| 8846s | eventually they get run over |
| 8848s | trying to make something happen with |
| 8850s | erisa there |
| 8852s | nothing doing |
| 8854s | it's interesting you're playing a |
| 8855s | composition that would be good i was |
| 8857s | going to say with doomfist or winston |
| 8859s | and you're trying to play uh the arissa |
| 8861s | the the coach of the shot toasted |
| 8869s | okay off the arisa we got to see it |
| 8872s | thanks |
| 8872s | that's about all we need to see for now |
| 8874s | mag on the doomfist here's the coal |
| 8875s | lessons coming in it's gonna be sound |
| 8877s | there around coalescence for san |
| 8878s | francisco that lay those support |
| 8880s | ultimates here and now the justice have |
| 8881s | a later beat |
| 8883s | how will this play out happy a little |
| 8885s | bit lower right now |
| 8886s | on the point though |
| 8888s | has a shot got control early on because |
| 8890s | of the interesting snafu with the arista |
| 8893s | mag punch pretty good assassin's ever to |
| 8894s | burn violent down |
| 8896s | but he gets ripped one by collusion long |
| 8898s | range yeah collusion is gonna have the |
| 8900s | primal to keep this going for the shock |
| 8903s | as propper is able to finish off opener |
| 8905s | krillin is low |
| 8906s | as they force him back is the shock able |
| 8909s | to hold on is |
| 8910s | coming out on that arrest is a bit of a |
| 8912s | gamble |
| 8914s | yes |
| 8915s | it may end up coming to fight the |
| 8916s | justice here is |
| 8918s | that you lose that first fight on |
| 8919s | control you're behind an ultimate system |
| 8923s | in the chat what was that midway through |
| 8924s | around by the way |
| 8926s | oh gosh |
| 8928s | okay no fight force adds a view by the |
| 8930s | looks of thing a big punch from mag |
| 8933s | three stunned no one evolution oh you're |
| 8935s | kidding it's gonna be a right walk to |
| 8937s | shut off that pulse bomb |
| 8939s | proper still in position to punish here |
| 8941s | and sam deals with happy but assassin |
| 8943s | comes in subbed in for matt fire the |
| 8945s | echo is looking pretty clean so far and |
| 8947s | matt it's gonna have to be for the rest |
| 8949s | of the round yeah it's this will be the |
| 8951s | justice flipping the point |
| 8953s | and i think if you want to talk about a |
| 8954s | positive for the justice thus far is |
| 8957s | they've actually been able to get first |
| 8958s | blood and a reasonable amount of these |
| 8960s | fights here i know on this point uh |
| 8963s | outside of the first one they actually |
| 8964s | you know assassin kicks off the last |
| 8966s | fight with the first blood and then this |
| 8967s | fight that they just win with one as |
| 8968s | well |
| 8969s | that i think if you're able to get these |
| 8971s | first advice all nice play there as |
| 8973s | you're able to |
| 8974s | give her to happy as he's he's dead |
| 8977s | happy he's in a winter bubble he can't |
| 8978s | get that life steal so sam's able to pop |
| 8980s | him from the outside of it assassins |
| 8982s | knocked out of duplicate he's forced to |
| 8984s | give a lot of ground here |
| 8986s | and justice burn a couple key ultimates |
| 8987s | but sound barriers come out |
| 8989s | simultaneously for these two teams |
| 8991s | property's looking to search for it if |
| 8992s | he can mag had a punch charged up but |
| 8994s | there's another pulse bomb here already |
| 8996s | built for proper where does it go that's |
| 8998s | the question |
| 8999s | sees crawling in that back corner mag |
| 9001s | charging one up and proper goes a little |
| 9002s | bit wide on the deployment but sam's |
| 9005s | found assassin somehow the echoes wings |
| 9007s | are clipped by the hellfire shotguns and |
| 9009s | proper looks to keep flanking nobody's |
| 9011s | keeping tabs on him right now as the |
| 9013s | kills come in for san francisco and how |
| 9015s | did they keep colluge alive he was so |
| 9019s | low |
| 9020s | as assassin was trying to chase him down |
| 9021s | to the focusing beam the foxy beam just |
| 9023s | ran out right as he might have been able |
| 9025s | to finish him off but |
| 9027s | you get that pick on the collusion maybe |
| 9029s | a completely different fight it's the |
| 9032s | shock one fight away from taking our |
| 9034s | first point on league town |
| 9036s | mag is the first in seismic slam |
| 9039s | medial's trying to get him out here |
| 9042s | he's gonna land not a whole lot of |
| 9044s | damage from that but he is back in the |
| 9045s | fight at the very least here primal rage |
| 9047s | for colluse but he took a pretty large |
| 9048s | amount of damage early these supports |
| 9050s | are trying to build their ultimate stuff |
| 9051s | as quickly as they can finn's gonna have |
| 9052s | a coalescence and he lets it go |
| 9054s | immediately assassin's gonna be forced |
| 9056s | back he's so low and proper finishes the |
| 9058s | job a death blossom is interrupted there |
| 9060s | by sam |
| 9061s | can't get it finished because of the |
| 9062s | punch that came in but here's the sound |
| 9064s | barrier krillin finally has the coal |
| 9066s | lessons but these support ultimates have |
| 9067s | come in a little bit too late |
| 9069s | sam place point but happy is down a huge |
| 9072s | amount of the damage but the justice has |
| 9073s | been taken off the board and how are |
| 9075s | they going to get back in this fight |
| 9077s | it's a sound barrier from opener that |
| 9078s | managed to get proper it's only four |
| 9080s | left for the san francisco shock here |
| 9082s | krillin's gonna save perch on the high |
| 9083s | ground but the justices are trying to |
| 9085s | regroup for a moment behind max punch |
| 9087s | yeah they're allowing the justice to get |
| 9088s | back into the fight happy's got a death |
| 9090s | blossom |
| 9091s | no one's going to be there to see it |
| 9092s | though colludes gets burned down by the |
| 9094s | focusing beam and the shock give the |
| 9096s | point |
| 9098s | i was surprised that they played a |
| 9100s | little bit passive they're the shock i |
| 9102s | feel like they had a big advantage in |
| 9104s | terms of the supports they got rid of |
| 9105s | assassin and happy it was just the tank |
| 9108s | in both supports uh krillin ends up |
| 9110s | using the coalescence keeping him up but |
| 9112s | look at this i mean but now the justices |
| 9114s | are in an interesting spot you're gonna |
| 9115s | have assassin with this dublin what do |
| 9117s | you do could you like get a moira like a |
| 9119s | coalescence might be a second reaper in |
| 9121s | the mix |
| 9123s | some interesting options here |
| 9125s | punch comes up short for mag charges the |
| 9127s | power block another medial strike |
| 9130s | finn takes half his health his damage |
| 9131s | from that one has to back up sam's a |
| 9133s | little lower at the moment as well |
| 9136s | max on the point |
| 9138s | forces recall from proper their assassin |
| 9139s | duplicates a tracer here's the |
| 9141s | coalescence from fin now's assassin has |
| 9143s | a pulse bomb to spend in this duplicated |
| 9145s | form it's a stick on a boy and |
| 9147s | coalescence he's not able to find it |
| 9148s | though the coal ends just in time and |
| 9150s | finn is able to fade that one |
| 9152s | proper pressure keyboard collusion has |
| 9154s | already been taken down the sound |
| 9155s | barrier |
| 9156s | is well timed indeed |
| 9158s | [Applause] |
| 9168s | they'll stall for a moment here it is |
| 9170s | primal rage comes back in from colu's |
| 9172s | just enough time got bored but finn's |
| 9173s | going to send careening over the edge |
| 9176s | the winston has to get out now proper |
| 9178s | steps up to keep overtime going but it's |
| 9179s | a matter of time |
| 9182s | [Applause] |
| 9188s | see |
| 9189s | this is where if you're the coach of the |
| 9190s | justice you gotta type what was that in |
| 9192s | the chat you're gonna fire back |
| 9194s | where's the question you gotta have |
| 9195s | those shots yeah the shots on deck uh |
| 9200s | i did point out a little bit like about |
| 9201s | like uh halfway through that like the |
| 9203s | positive for the justices they were |
| 9205s | consistently getting the first bloods in |
| 9206s | those fights and we know that in |
| 9207s | overwatch two and five on five |
| 9209s | the first blood is like the win rate of |
| 9212s | fights like extremely high like even |
| 9214s | higher than overwatch one that twenty |
| 9216s | percent higher |
| 9217s | right so you end up like losing a fight |
| 9219s | or two early on that you go that way but |
| 9221s | the percentage is still why heavily on |
| 9224s | your side that if you're able to |
| 9225s | replicate that eventually you're gonna |
| 9226s | string it together right and that's what |
| 9228s | happens at the end |
| 9231s | smarting |
| 9232s | on the san francisco shock after that |
| 9234s | round and after such an early lead |
| 9237s | at this point it's just execution man |
| 9239s | why didn't they try the arusa again |
| 9242s | the fact that he got away with that may |
| 9244s | well go down in |
| 9245s | history this season |
| 9248s | so the justice play from behind the |
| 9250s | point here |
| 9255s | smack has been pretty strong on this |
| 9256s | doomfist see if he's able to go and just |
| 9259s | cause some problems a nice punch there |
| 9260s | on a proper gets him to use recall and |
| 9263s | uh sam is low you may not be able to |
| 9264s | fight this it's time for proper he'd |
| 9266s | rather flank against this doom setup |
| 9268s | he's walking into punches could lose my |
| 9270s | god that's aggressive |
| 9272s | and then justice are pretty good at |
| 9273s | dealing with this dive setup |
| 9275s | robert has already built a pulse bomb oh |
| 9277s | my that one's got air mail matthew |
| 9281s | it's it's not gonna be enough though uh |
| 9284s | i mean it should not be enough right is |
| 9285s | it's gonna be |
| 9286s | both supports and collusion live |
| 9289s | they may come back in try and make a |
| 9292s | play for this both lucio's already with |
| 9294s | beat |
| 9296s | happy takes a favor of poke damage now |
| 9298s | when kalooz wants to try and capitalize |
| 9300s | if he can |
| 9301s | mack back in once more |
| 9303s | punch is good meteor strike out great |
| 9305s | walk from the reaper there sam's able to |
| 9307s | get away from the ultimate coming in but |
| 9309s | the sound barriers are now being used |
| 9310s | coalescence is also in play and |
| 9312s | krillin's about to build here's the shot |
| 9313s | need to find something they do oh they |
| 9314s | get krillin he had the coalescence |
| 9317s | that's not gonna be an option anymore |
| 9319s | san francisco eventually able to |
| 9321s | steamroll mag in the absence of that |
| 9323s | extra healing i don't get the point |
| 9326s | it's a massive kill on acrylic because |
| 9327s | he's coming up on the coalescence and |
| 9329s | the shotgun don't |
| 9331s | overlapping their support ultimates |
| 9332s | there they kick things off with the |
| 9334s | sound barrier they end up using their |
| 9335s | coalescence like shortly after when the |
| 9337s | sound barrier comes in from opener so |
| 9339s | they know they have an advantage in |
| 9340s | terms of healing but it's only that |
| 9341s | small window of time they have that |
| 9347s | proper with the bird's eye view of the |
| 9348s | situation |
| 9350s | sees that coalescence that krillin have |
| 9351s | been holding onto |
| 9367s | it's like i will not let us lose you |
| 9369s | guys may be okay with it but i will not |
| 9371s | let that happen is |
| 9373s | he has put on some performance here at |
| 9375s | the second half of this series he hates |
| 9377s | losing more than the justice love |
| 9378s | winning apparently |
| 9387s | little awkward for him there as he gets |
| 9388s | juggling a little bit but he has that |
| 9390s | primal rage to to rely on he's forced to |
| 9392s | use it a little early here |
| 9395s | okay duplicate ends up getting used to |
| 9397s | by assassin it's two reapers so kalooz |
| 9399s | definitely has to get out of that |
| 9400s | situation now the shark have to regroup |
| 9402s | quickly man |
| 9403s | yeah that'll be a death blossom here |
| 9405s | from happy |
| 9406s | so he'll be able to finish just one |
| 9408s | player off but still do you even see him |
| 9410s | coming out of assassin doesn't even have |
| 9412s | to use the death blossom that he builds |
| 9414s | up |
| 9415s | that was pretty convincing from the |
| 9417s | justice man |
| 9418s | colluge kind of had no point no choice |
| 9420s | but to use that primal rage but max |
| 9423s | pressure plus you know the potential for |
| 9425s | happy to walk up on him so collusion |
| 9426s | goes over the doom now just put a little |
| 9428s | bit more pressure you can be a little |
| 9429s | bit more offensive i feel like with the |
| 9431s | doom like it's nowhere near as good to |
| 9433s | be able to like go back and peel and |
| 9435s | provide some support uh for your healers |
| 9438s | but |
| 9438s | just like it is an offensive fire uh |
| 9441s | your powerhouse |
| 9442s | is sick |
| 9443s | mag sound barry here proper |
| 9446s | doesn't go too deep there and collusion |
| 9447s | is having to find a punch on assassin |
| 9449s | here's an opening happy's forced in |
| 9455s | as it comes out of the shadows |
| 9457s | gets his lights knocked down |
| 9462s | okay |
| 9464s | so within uh 10 now |
| 9467s | for the justices assassin will now go |
| 9469s | over to tracer so |
| 9472s | want to move away from the echo maybe |
| 9473s | the echo is making the biggest impact |
| 9475s | now is the tracer from proper starting |
| 9477s | to get online but |
| 9478s | proper can put this point away with a |
| 9480s | nice pulse bomb it's this coal lesson |
| 9481s | from krillin |
| 9482s | it's got to be a big difference maker |
| 9484s | and proper has a pulse bomb he can |
| 9485s | punish that ultimate but he's too far |
| 9487s | away right now looks like the shock are |
| 9489s | just going to give this ground away |
| 9490s | they've not taken too much damage which |
| 9492s | is crucial and here they come once more |
| 9495s | clues comes in with a seismic slab dead |
| 9497s | blossom sam it's shut down |
| 9499s | everybody from the justice looks on and |
| 9501s | just punish the reaper in the middle of |
| 9503s | the action prophet doesn't have a recall |
| 9505s | for another second then he can't get |
| 9507s | away |
| 9508s | man takes him down with the seismic |
| 9510s | in the shock have to try again this is a |
| 9513s | lot like the last point though |
| 9515s | now in terms of percentage right you're |
| 9517s | gonna get up to before the next fight |
| 9519s | probably kicks off you're gonna get like |
| 9520s | near 88 |
| 9521s | like this fight goes long you're looking |
| 9523s | at last fight scenario and look at some |
| 9524s | of the these things on the board i mean |
| 9526s | you have a meteor strike you'll probably |
| 9527s | have a pulse bumper assassin death |
| 9528s | blossom the shock and you rely on proper |
| 9531s | again with this pulse bomb to go huge |
| 9532s | this is it the shock if they want a |
| 9534s | reverse sweep it's got to happen here |
| 9536s | and now |
| 9538s | the pulse bomb from proper is the |
| 9540s | centerpiece of their plan |
| 9542s | violent sound barrier is also crucial as |
| 9544s | opener is 20 away from his the fight |
| 9546s | must start soon max a little low has to |
| 9549s | get out with that medial strike here is |
| 9550s | proper also recall |
| 9552s | the pulse on the mag he knew he was |
| 9554s | coming and he gives him a welcoming gift |
| 9557s | to lose medial strike in now it's gonna |
| 9559s | be a sound barrier for four and happy's |
| 9560s | knocked away with the death blossom |
| 9562s | still assassins able to find sam but boy |
| 9564s | three puts are out of the picture now |
| 9565s | finn's coalescence is huge it's |
| 9567s | absolutely massive open is forced to run |
| 9569s | away and hope his team can keep overtime |
| 9571s | going man yeah you're gonna have some |
| 9573s | members for the |
| 9577s | not able to justice so |
| 9579s | correlated uh opener they backed up the |
| 9581s | trying to get mad back into the fight |
| 9583s | maybe a little bit faster and they have |
| 9585s | the coalescence to use there |
| 9587s | i think they were relying on assassin to |
| 9589s | keep the point going but |
| 9592s | not able to do so as we go to a final |
| 9594s | point the composure for proper he knew |
| 9597s | that mad was just going to materialize |
| 9599s | in front of him from that meteor strike |
| 9600s | and he had |
| 9602s | the exact answer i would say as well uh |
| 9604s | colluge connecting on a punch to |
| 9606s | interrupt happy during the death boss so |
| 9608s | knock him back here that was a big kill |
| 9610s | uh a big play there because i know i |
| 9612s | believe he ends up getting one with the |
| 9613s | death blossom uh judging for the |
| 9615s | overhead man he doesn't get this place |
| 9617s | may have gotten a second or two uh two |
| 9619s | more so uh it'll be both teams right |
| 9622s | here coming out with the tracer look so |
| 9624s | assassin gonna ditch the echo go with |
| 9626s | the tracer and then also |
| 9628s | for the shot they're gonna ditch the |
| 9629s | winston play here they're gonna go |
| 9630s | aggressive with this doom |
| 9633s | nice medial strike connection there from |
| 9635s | collude a lot slow it's annoying to deal |
| 9637s | with |
| 9638s | map five round three |
| 9641s | this is the final stage of this series |
| 9645s | and only honest again is trying to find |
| 9646s | some |
| 9647s | vulnerabilities here but no burst |
| 9649s | healing available for the justice so |
| 9650s | they take a lot of damage early |
| 9652s | they need to find a way to back away |
| 9654s | regroup and have to give up the point as |
| 9656s | a result yeah they're getting very close |
| 9658s | to a sound barrier though so they might |
| 9660s | be able to go aggressive and use a sound |
| 9662s | very early on |
| 9664s | happy low gets you with a punch there |
| 9666s | still doesn't rate walk or maybe he |
| 9667s | can't pulse bomb stick on the water it's |
| 9669s | gonna be a fade away and the sound |
| 9670s | barrier out here from opener vino opts |
| 9673s | not to use his yet and may not |
| 9676s | as sam has already failed |
| 9678s | yeah i think you'll see what happens |
| 9679s | here we go straight comes down and |
| 9681s | that's gonna be the sound barrier okay |
| 9682s | with four players the shock want to try |
| 9683s | and commit to this fight what can they |
| 9685s | find the coalescence as well they still |
| 9687s | have control the point so they want to |
| 9688s | extend their cap as long as possible |
| 9691s | assassins looking healthy though when he |
| 9692s | sees overhead goes colluge mag gonna |
| 9695s | land on sam with the meteor strikes so |
| 9697s | san francisco may have made an error yes |
| 9700s | they get 40 |
| 9701s | but they spend a lot of ultimates for |
| 9702s | this stall |
| 9704s | yeah but the ultimates gained them what |
| 9706s | 30 40 percent potentially uh about about |
| 9710s | 30 percent there extra so |
| 9713s | for you you don't exactly hate that yeah |
| 9715s | i i don't hate it because you also it's |
| 9717s | not like they ended up throwing these |
| 9719s | ultimates in to extend it and the |
| 9720s | justice had to spin nothing the justice |
| 9722s | pretty much had to go all in as well uh |
| 9724s | so you're able to extend that now you |
| 9726s | have a death blossom right here for the |
| 9728s | justice |
| 9729s | you you end up losing this fight you're |
| 9731s | still in a tremendous spot if you're the |
| 9732s | shot |
| 9733s | death blossom from happy obviously on |
| 9735s | board |
| 9737s | can i get deep enough without getting |
| 9738s | boobed punched knocked away |
| 9741s | it's a tough ask |
| 9744s | another shotgun is looking for an |
| 9746s | opening right there's no biomates to |
| 9747s | start these fights they have to do it |
| 9748s | the old-fashioned way uh proper is in a |
| 9750s | really tough spot as he's able to make |
| 9752s | it back to his team that's crazy |
| 9755s | it's like the bloody italian job in here |
| 9758s | all right say i'm gonna get sound barry |
| 9759s | here deployed profiler open is holding |
| 9761s | onto his for now but he can't save mag |
| 9763s | the doofus is missing for the justice |
| 9765s | and they go for a belated sound barrier |
| 9767s | but happy gets nothing from the death |
| 9769s | blossom |
| 9770s | disastrous here for the justice yeah |
| 9772s | they're stuck back into the lead but |
| 9773s | they're not winning this fight |
| 9775s | no definitely not as |
| 9778s | nothing with the death blossom you're |
| 9779s | not able to keep happy up with that |
| 9781s | sound barrier |
| 9782s | coalescence used as well you're not |
| 9784s | going to have that so |
| 9786s | although you do take the lead it's only |
| 9787s | going to be for a short period of time |
| 9790s | as the percentage flips in favor of the |
| 9793s | shock |
| 9796s | tense moments here finn still has |
| 9798s | coalescence the fact that san francisco |
| 9801s | have been able to hold on to that key |
| 9802s | support ultimate should not be |
| 9804s | overlooked |
| 9806s | could lose their truck it's really quite |
| 9807s | well a lot of good damage here as he's |
| 9809s | just |
| 9810s | sitting charging the power block getting |
| 9812s | some displacement slowing the justice |
| 9815s | down |
| 9817s | has the medial strike there over commits |
| 9818s | with a punch that doesn't hit happy who |
| 9820s | has the right walk maybe a fair trade i |
| 9822s | feel |
| 9824s | feeding that with a coal lesson so the |
| 9825s | shocker decided to use that but look at |
| 9827s | this stall they're at 90 accounting this |
| 9829s | will force the justice away to buy more |
| 9831s | time violent is close to a sound barrier |
| 9833s | as well this could get dicey the |
| 9835s | justices have to go now and they're |
| 9836s | going to be running into the sound |
| 9837s | barrier here it is violent lets it go |
| 9839s | matt taking down already at the start of |
| 9841s | this fighter proper the pulse it's good |
| 9843s | [Applause] |
| 9870s | at the start of this series |
| 9874s | you have to put teams like the shock |
| 9876s | away when you have the chance |
| 9878s | and even here in this map five |
| 9880s | now you you get it to go all the way to |
| 9883s | the distance |
| 9884s | and you you had a puncher's chance here |
| 9886s | towards the end but the shock |
| 9888s | they bounce back they really clutch up |
| 9890s | towards the end |
| 9892s | 50 for both sides |
| 9894s | san francisco win a fight and finn has |
| 9896s | that coalescence right there's nothing |
| 9898s | on the side of the justice to answer |
| 9900s | that so the next fight it drags on they |
| 9902s | see the coalescence |
| 9904s | they have to back away |
| 9906s | and the clock gets burned out a huge |
| 9909s | pulse bomb from proper again |
| 9911s | he really answered the challenge |
| 9914s | delivered by decay in those first couple |
| 9916s | of maps he stepped up and showed why he |
| 9918s | is undeniably |
| 9920s | a rookie of the year candidate |
| 9922s | that's a great performance from san |
| 9924s | francisco the fact that look it got as |
| 9926s | close as it does tells you a lot about |
| 9928s | this land environment |
| 9930s | so |
| 9931s | so much can happen so over the space of |
| 9933s | a few days at land uh i've been now at |
| 9936s | least these two teams are warmed up yeah |
| 9938s | i think teams will view |
| 9940s | the justice way differently now you're |
| 9942s | going into the losers bracket right this |
| 9944s | is a dangerous team it's not a team |
| 9946s | that's uh an eight seed that you're just |
| 9948s | gonna come in and walk all over |
| 9950s | that this is gonna be a team it's gonna |
| 9951s | be a difficult out i gotta say i mean |
| 9954s | you know we saw the justice that |
| 9955s | mirrored that lucio moira composition |
| 9957s | they didn't do that uh on ilya so much |
| 9959s | neither team did right we saw both of |
| 9961s | them playing their anna a fair bit |
| 9962s | you've got to say when we saw the |
| 9964s | justice get to use krillin and get to |
| 9966s | start fights set the pace with those |
| 9968s | biotic grenade connections across the |
| 9969s | map that's where the justice looked at |
| 9972s | their best they really knew how to to |
| 9974s | make that play style work and every |
| 9976s | bionic was followed up on everyone was |
| 9978s | chased down |
| 9979s | and finn let's throw back to that first |
| 9981s | map that aggressive positioning from |
| 9983s | finn often getting exploited and even |
| 9984s | when he wasn't being aggressive |
| 9986s | mag decay assassin whoever it was was |
| 9989s | finding him this justice team looks |
| 9991s | nothing like a bottom seed in this |
| 9993s | tournament no and i think as well when |
| 9995s | the justice went over the compositions |
| 9996s | where they were playing that doomfist |
| 9999s | the doomfist became an easy pulse bomb |
| 10000s | target for proper and he's able to just |
| 10003s | kind of run all over the map uncontested |
| 10006s | i think those biotic grenades earlier on |
| 10008s | when they were done those on the comps |
| 10010s | was a huge difference maker |
| 10012s | we saw a few things in this series that |
| 10013s | we just really don't get to see every |
| 10015s | day especially in our online play right |
| 10017s | i mean multiple deadlifts across these |
| 10019s | maps right where |
| 10020s | these individuals taking the games into |
| 10022s | their own hands and speaking of |
| 10024s | individuals we've got danny down on the |
| 10025s | stage with one of them all right now |
| 10027s | let's head down for a post match |
| 10028s | interview |
| 10030s | thanks guys yes i am here with one of |
| 10033s | them and it's none other than proper |
| 10035s | from san francisco ladies and gentlemen |
| 10036s | make some |
| 10039s | what a noise first match a reverse sweep |
| 10042s | can't get any better than that no proper |
| 10044s | i mean it was a reverse sweep which |
| 10046s | means that you guys seem to you know |
| 10047s | struggle a little bit in the first two |
| 10049s | maps but you guys were able to turn |
| 10050s | things around what sort of changes did |
| 10053s | you guys |
| 10071s | [Music] |
| 10079s | [Music] |
| 10092s | so |
| 10092s | i feel like you know because this is a |
| 10094s | lan event and this is his first time uh |
| 10096s | playing in the offline in front of a |
| 10098s | crowd so there was a little bit of |
| 10099s | nerves but you know going into the third |
| 10101s | map we sort of got together uh just |
| 10104s | talked to ourselves and just said that |
| 10106s | we could do it and that's how we won the |
| 10108s | game all right and you know you just |
| 10111s | mentioned about being in front of a |
| 10112s | crowd and this is a lan event um do you |
| 10115s | feel like the san francisco shark |
| 10117s | sort of had that land buff and that |
| 10119s | helped you get the win today |
| 10137s | yeah good good good better best good |
| 10141s | better best which one |
| 10144s | best best |
| 10146s | proper did definitely get the energy |
| 10149s | from all the fans so yeah proper thank |
| 10151s | you so much for doing this interview |
| 10152s | that is it for the post match interview |
| 10154s | let's head back to uber and mr x |
| 10159s | thank you very much danny and yeah i |
| 10160s | mean |
| 10162s | what do you say about that really i mean |
| 10163s | proper you know just expressing that |
| 10166s | the jitters out there this is a |
| 10167s | consistent story we've been a league |
| 10169s | that has had to operate entirely online |
| 10171s | for over two years |
| 10173s | nothing really compares to this |
| 10174s | environment you definitely have to check |
| 10176s | it out if you have a chance to be here |
| 10177s | we've seen even the best players if |
| 10179s | they're new to the experience it affects |
| 10181s | you there's gonna be an adjustment |
| 10182s | period for a lot of players uh in the |
| 10185s | league and i think you're gonna see some |
| 10186s | players really up their play and some |
| 10188s | players uh not perform as well as we've |
| 10190s | seen them play at home but the shock |
| 10191s | bounce back there let's talk about our |
| 10193s | player the match here matthew uh pretty |
| 10195s | easy one we i just got to hear from him |
| 10196s | down on the stage there it's going to be |
| 10198s | proper whether it was genji whether it |
| 10201s | was tracer prophet gave us to some |
| 10203s | incredible moments i've got to say the |
| 10205s | genji play on dorado was really |
| 10207s | enjoyable for me especially because |
| 10209s | his i guess the way that he could play |
| 10211s | very different uh than decay on that |
| 10213s | sort of tracer and what he had to get |
| 10214s | done but when he turned around the |
| 10215s | attacking side |
| 10217s | and this was inside the deadlift on new |
| 10218s | queen street man for me it's the tracer |
| 10220s | play yeah you know once we saw him start |
| 10222s | to heat up on the tracer on dorado bring |
| 10225s | that into new queen street then bring it |
| 10227s | in to lia shang tower |
| 10229s | that was the difference maker in the |
| 10230s | series it really was able to be an |
| 10232s | equalizer that they now brought the |
| 10235s | shock back in uh you know just picking |
| 10237s | up so many kills these fights felt like |
| 10238s | pulse bomb after pulse bomb connected |
| 10241s | as he was he was |
| 10243s | unbelievable towards the end this series |
| 10245s | promised to be a battle of top traces |
| 10247s | and that was you know what we promised |
| 10248s | was the centerpiece of this matchup and |
| 10251s | it definitely delivered gotta say as |
| 10253s | well like assassin coming in we saw his |
| 10255s | difference in play style and how he sort |
| 10256s | of had to play around such an aggressive |
| 10258s | tracer this is what proper forces you to |
| 10260s | do both these teams have incredible |
| 10262s | weapons in that particular role but |
| 10264s | proper really ran away with it here and |
| 10265s | again like half those pulse bombs |
| 10267s | sticking the vast majority of those |
| 10268s | sticks resulting in kills it was like |
| 10270s | one on like a moyer about to fade but |
| 10272s | outside of that like deadly efficient |
| 10274s | and they're getting built awfully |
| 10275s | quickly because he's such an aggressive |
| 10277s | tracer he's always in position to get |
| 10278s | damaged and charged at all times no |
| 10280s | always making plays with the pulse bomb |
| 10281s | but like you mentioned like a few times |
| 10283s | like we saw the coalescence popped pulse |
| 10285s | bomb gets attached not able to fade out |
| 10287s | like huge kills at big times for proper |
| 10289s | stick around everybody there's much more |
| 10291s | action coming out of the esports stadium |
| 10292s | arlington here coming up next it's going |
| 10294s | to be the atlanta rain sand and of |
| 10296s | course the florida mayhem should i say |
| 10298s | stick around for that one that's going |
| 10299s | to be quite a spicy one don't go too far |
| 10306s | the on watching is brought to you by |

| 10502s | welcome to game break here on our watch |
| 10504s | point dest zoe here joined by jonathan |
| 10507s | reinforced lars and of course necro is |
| 10509s | joining us as well for some game |
| 10511s | analysis and let's dive straight into it |
| 10513s | because obviously we all expected a |
| 10516s | three to two outcome uh shock versus |
| 10518s | justice absolutely |
| 10520s | oh yeah to assume that i was already |
| 10522s | outside in the process of burning my |
| 10524s | pickings and then the san francisco |
| 10526s | shock i didn't turn it around i think |
| 10528s | leg day tweeted out just like yeah i |
| 10530s | always played in washington and then it |
| 10531s | just then it just turned around |
| 10533s | obviously |
| 10534s | it's his fault uh now |
| 10537s | funny enough i feel like you guys have |
| 10539s | looked into the crystal ball because |
| 10541s | stuff we have talked about coming into |
| 10543s | this match it just magically happened it |
| 10545s | was happy who absolutely put in a a |
| 10549s | slaughter fest for the justice necro |
| 10551s | which you called |
| 10553s | of course |
| 10554s | alongside his team and also reinforced |
| 10556s | he did talk about you want to play max |
| 10558s | monkey game and that's exactly what |
| 10559s | happened the san francisco shock had to |
| 10561s | adjust to the justices style and to |
| 10563s | their tempo and let the justice run away |
| 10566s | with it and necro why don't you break |
| 10567s | down what happened in this match |
| 10571s | well it definitely looked like it was |
| 10573s | going the way of the washington justice |
| 10575s | especially when they started off the |
| 10576s | series with a fast 2-0 but san francisco |
| 10580s | were able to turn it around it was that |
| 10581s | map three where they picked dorado i was |
| 10584s | a little nervous because of how well |
| 10586s | washington justice performed versus the |
| 10588s | atlanta reign in their matchup where |
| 10591s | they didn't let atlanta win an entire |
| 10593s | single team fight on that map and so i |
| 10595s | was like well happy's warm happy's in |
| 10597s | his lane ready to go uh so this might |
| 10600s | not work out but |
| 10601s | that pick worked great and it started |
| 10604s | san francisco shock on a journey of |
| 10606s | getting their second reverse sweep first |
| 10608s | versus the los angeles gladiators and |
| 10610s | now versus the washington justice |
| 10615s | uh jonathan |
| 10617s | why do you think the shock we're |
| 10619s | playing so much more passive we're so |
| 10621s | used to them being just uh |
| 10623s | like aggressive with prepper just all |
| 10626s | over their sidelines front lines and |
| 10627s | black lines all at once but today |
| 10630s | they seem to be more hesitant why is |
| 10632s | that |
| 10633s | yeah i mean we haven't really talked |
| 10634s | about the stage factor so far mitch and |
| 10636s | matt they hit it a little bit in the |
| 10638s | cast as well but it's obviously so much |
| 10640s | different um playing on a stage compared |
| 10642s | to playing in the comfort of your home |
| 10644s | you know like |
| 10645s | it's warm you got your blankets you have |
| 10647s | some cozy socks on maybe some teal brood |
| 10649s | and you know maybe how you play that |
| 10651s | sounds really delicious |
| 10652s | maybe some candles for the scent stuff |
| 10654s | like that you know on a stage it's like |
| 10656s | it's cold you need your hand warmers |
| 10658s | it's like there's lights on you and |
| 10660s | there's like people in the audience it's |
| 10661s | like doing a presentation in school |
| 10663s | flashback to bad memories it's hard to |
| 10664s | get in the game stuff like that you know |
| 10666s | so obviously for some of these players |
| 10668s | who doesn't necessarily have that |
| 10670s | experience of actually playing on stage |
| 10672s | there is a bit of an adjustment phase |
| 10674s | it's not going to be the same |
| 10675s | environment that you're so used to |
| 10676s | playing in and that's going to throw you |
| 10678s | off your game that's going to change |
| 10680s | your mental state and your decision |
| 10682s | making and when you play at the highest |
| 10684s | level the highest level overwatch you |
| 10687s | need to be clinical in your decision |
| 10689s | making everything has to be on point |
| 10691s | because otherwise it's so obvious when |
| 10692s | you accidentally use an ability the |
| 10694s | wrong way if you're playing the tracer |
| 10696s | duel between assassin and proper i mean |
| 10698s | one bad blink one bad recall and |
| 10700s | suddenly you're going to be at a |
| 10702s | disadvantage so i think for all of these |
| 10704s | teams today doesn't necessarily always |
| 10706s | just you know happen to be able to |
| 10707s | washington justice or san francisco |
| 10709s | shock a lot of these teams they have |
| 10710s | rookies on their lineup so rookies from |
| 10712s | last year and didn't get the chance to |
| 10713s | play on stage so i think we're seeing |
| 10715s | some of these players actually get to |
| 10716s | use to the setting they're currently |
| 10718s | playing in uh one more question i do |
| 10720s | have if we're looking at the washington |
| 10721s | justice |
| 10722s | set up there or rather at their |
| 10725s | subbing strategy for this one we did see |
| 10727s | uh them swapping around between dk and |
| 10729s | assassin but when assassin came in he |
| 10731s | very often also played that tracer |
| 10734s | do you think that was a map |
| 10735s | kind of based decision or yeah it must |
| 10738s | be control right it must be controlled |
| 10740s | we saw we saw assassin on both ileos to |
| 10742s | start off of course and then we saw um |
| 10744s | assassin as well later on on league |
| 10746s | tower so he came out for the orisa |
| 10748s | strats he still reads the |
| 10750s | risa compositional tool that washington |
| 10753s | justice needed it it didn't go too great |
| 10755s | orisa probably a reason doesn't get |
| 10757s | picked quite that much but it was |
| 10759s | interesting to see assassin on tracer to |
| 10761s | be something because it was a bit |
| 10763s | unusual for washington yeah |
| 10765s | i'm a big fan of our toothpick horse |
| 10768s | necro how hyped were you to finally see |
| 10770s | orisa in the mix |
| 10773s | i was so hype oh my gosh i mean the fact |
| 10776s | that we we got a chance to see it in |
| 10778s | like full action as well right mag |
| 10780s | coming out on the orisa and then going |
| 10783s | into the team fight on control center |
| 10787s | it just it was great i just i felt like |
| 10790s | i i was in a throwback scenario i don't |
| 10793s | know it was like this um |
| 10795s | i ascended a little bit watching me some |
| 10797s | erisa play |
| 10798s | ascended two team fights of a reason |
| 10801s | nick has ascended love to hear it yeah |
| 10804s | i love that uh more of that i mean okay |
| 10806s | it didn't quite work again we did have |
| 10808s | to switch over to the doomfist but it |
| 10810s | was fun as long as it lasts but at least |
| 10812s | for the viewers it absolutely was now of |
| 10815s | course we have a next match coming up so |
| 10817s | let's do a quick preview of that one |
| 10820s | that was one of the matches where i |
| 10822s | think it was hard to pick for a lot of |
| 10823s | people a lot of people expect a very |
| 10826s | close match will they be disappointed |
| 10829s | no i don't think we will be disappointed |
| 10831s | this is another matchup where you have |
| 10832s | some veterans for example on the atlanta |
| 10834s | terrain i mean if you've got gator and |
| 10835s | hawk they've been in the league for a |
| 10836s | very long time remember right and the |
| 10838s | florida mayhem they got rookies coming |
| 10840s | in here as well someone their tank |
| 10841s | player has been phenomenal but does that |
| 10843s | translate to being able to play on stage |
| 10845s | high drawn players like that even |
| 10847s | checkmate who's the only standout player |
| 10849s | from last year |
| 10850s | again joined during the kovitz season |
| 10852s | right so has had a chance to play on |
| 10854s | stage yet so it's going to be |
| 10855s | interesting to see if this experience |
| 10857s | dynamic plays a part in this matter as |
| 10859s | well absolutely now and necro i believe |
| 10861s | you also picked the atlanta reign is |
| 10863s | that correct |
| 10864s | no it was that is right i did yeah so |
| 10867s | the three of us |
| 10869s | picked atlanta rain and danny scott as |
| 10872s | well as the audience |
| 10874s | picked a mayhem so it's us versus them |
| 10876s | everything on the line |
| 10879s | uh any any last thoughts you have |
| 10880s | regarding this matchup and regarding |
| 10882s | your pick for this one nicora |
| 10885s | i'm standing by my pick but after what |
| 10887s | we saw in that last match the very first |
| 10891s | one of the kickoff clash |
| 10893s | i'm not really sure what to expect |
| 10894s | anymore going into this next one |
| 10896s | so i'm excited to see what happens |
| 10900s | except while we find out very soon we're |
| 10902s | heading into a very quick break in and |
| 10904s | afterwards we're heading straight back |
| 10906s | to texas for the atlanta rain and going |
| 10908s | up against the florida mayhem you don't |
| 10909s | want to miss it |
| 10913s | [Music] |
| 10934s | [Music] |
| 10937s | [Laughter] |
| 10943s | [Music] |
| 10957s | [Music] |
| 10974s | [Music] |
| 10984s | [Music] |
| 10997s | [Laughter] |
| 11004s | [Music] |
| 11017s | [Music] |
| 11037s | well there's been no shortage of |
| 11038s | hospitality showing us here in the lone |
| 11040s | star state but from the shock to the |
| 11042s | justice it was an entirely different |
| 11044s | brand a reverse sweep in our first match |
| 11047s | of the kickoff clash what a way to set |
| 11050s | the tone map what promises to be an |
| 11052s | incredible week of games yeah what a an |
| 11054s | awesome match to kick things off right |
| 11056s | the number eight seed pushing the number |
| 11058s | one all the way to the limit |
| 11061s | uh i feel like the other matches like |
| 11062s | that was the one match of the day you |
| 11064s | kind of looked at it i was like ah this |
| 11065s | one might be you know a bit lopsided the |
| 11067s | rest of the ones looked like they were |
| 11068s | gonna be really close going into it so |
| 11071s | i'm excited to see what those matches |
| 11072s | deliver absolutely i think it was danny |
| 11074s | uh earlier on sort of dubbing the |
| 11076s | atlanta reigners the bad boys of the |
| 11078s | overwatch league i thought their |
| 11080s | comments sort of after being selected by |
| 11082s | the florida mayhem in that sort of |
| 11083s | post-election show were interesting |
| 11085s | gator said |
| 11086s | if we don't get cheesed we're going to |
| 11088s | be just fine against this team but he |
| 11089s | didn't do they realize they're talking |
| 11090s | to the team that used the mayweal sim tp |
| 11092s | to get out |
| 11094s | i wouldn't even say like the atlanta |
| 11096s | reigned like our villains they're just a |
| 11098s | bit different than the rest of the teams |
| 11099s | in the league right they're willing to |
| 11100s | just go on twitter see what they feel |
| 11101s | like say how it is uh and never never a |
| 11105s | dull moment with atlanta and you know |
| 11107s | they they back it up in terms of their |
| 11108s | play they had a little bit of a rough i |
| 11111s | know end i think to the kickoff clash in |
| 11112s | terms of their regular season but this |
| 11114s | is a team played in big matches all year |
| 11116s | last year so fully expect them to come |
| 11118s | in here today and fire on all cylinders |
| 11120s | against florida |
| 11121s | again this roster features veteran |
| 11122s | players from the league in last year |
| 11124s | where they had a pretty grueling road i |
| 11125s | mean you know getting to hawaii playing |
| 11127s | these tough matches a lot of travel for |
| 11130s | uh some really tough games playing you |
| 11131s | know east versus west and again the |
| 11133s | florida mayhem who i mean out of nowhere |
| 11136s | are showing us like a potential rookie |
| 11137s | of the year candidate in someone |
| 11138s | incredible main tank player this team |
| 11141s | has really shown us what you can do by |
| 11142s | just bringing really solid coachable |
| 11144s | individuals together and giving them a |
| 11146s | game plan yeah surma jet as well it's |
| 11148s | been really strong for the florida |
| 11149s | mayhem they've taken a bunch of |
| 11151s | different pieces from all over the place |
| 11153s | and put it together and it's worked |
| 11155s | quite nicely i think hydra has also been |
| 11157s | a player on the 76 who has played really |
| 11159s | well so far this season i'm excited to |
| 11162s | see the atlanta rain though i i want to |
| 11164s | see how atlanta bounces back from some |
| 11166s | of their stumbles towards the end of the |
| 11168s | kickoff class we can talk about that |
| 11169s | stumble right because they had to go up |
| 11171s | against the los angeles gladiators in |
| 11173s | their in their last map that kickoff |
| 11174s | clash qualifying it was pretty brutal |
| 11176s | for them again this is a team where we |
| 11177s | sort of wondered okay so what what do |
| 11178s | you have up your sleeve we started with |
| 11180s | hawk showing us a lot of that doomfist |
| 11182s | play right didn't see a lot of gator |
| 11184s | until he started get worked in like the |
| 11186s | gate of winston as well uh you know |
| 11188s | which was less expected right yeah and |
| 11190s | we saw that i think against the |
| 11191s | vancouver titans i think the uh the |
| 11193s | gator winston there's a you know some |
| 11194s | sort of memes about that the reinhardt |
| 11196s | play as well right this is a team that |
| 11198s | had to go up against a |
| 11200s | surging london spitfire team who |
| 11202s | although they haven't qualified to be |
| 11204s | here are showing that these reinhardt |
| 11205s | comps work really really well yeah they |
| 11207s | they were not the london spitfire of |
| 11209s | last year right they they look pretty |
| 11211s | competitive this year london uh right |
| 11213s | they they're they don't qualify for this |
| 11216s | event but still one of the teams very |
| 11218s | closely on the outside looking in and |
| 11219s | they play a weird place though they just |
| 11221s | do right which some teams are just not |
| 11223s | going to be able to adapt and play |
| 11224s | against on the fly which could have |
| 11225s | happened to a lot of other teams in the |
| 11227s | league at that moment in time uh |
| 11229s | atlanta like i mentioned they just have |
| 11230s | some polarizing personalities and the |
| 11232s | people like to people like to jump on it |
| 11234s | i mean they also i thought atlanta |
| 11236s | showed us like some of the only pharah |
| 11237s | play we've seen in the west right trying |
| 11239s | to unravel that sort of reinhardt based |
| 11241s | composition you probably don't expect to |
| 11242s | see that in this particular matchup the |
| 11244s | florida mayhem side i mean we talked |
| 11246s | about it so much ed right so crucial to |
| 11248s | have like a kiana player but there's one |
| 11250s | on the atlanta range side so let's make |
| 11252s | some noise ladies and gentlemen welcome |
| 11253s | to the esports stadium it is the atlanta |
| 11257s | reign |
| 11262s | [Music] |
| 11264s | [Applause] |
| 11269s | always have something to prove this team |
| 11271s | at least they keep that chip on their |
| 11272s | shoulder for a reason |
| 11274s | and i have a no |
| 11277s | obviously in cdl this is an optic optic |
| 11280s | city i've been on the on the wrong side |
| 11282s | of that fan base before |
| 11284s | and i can tell you it kind of brings you |
| 11287s | together as a team like you sort of like |
| 11289s | rally around each other a little bit and |
| 11292s | like it becomes quite funny like |
| 11293s | everybody hates us and it's it was it |
| 11296s | was quite fun to just send teams home |
| 11298s | that had like these like fan bases that |
| 11300s | people loved and |
| 11302s | you just kind of cut the gloat in it uh |
| 11304s | right i think atlanta definitely need to |
| 11306s | kind of channel some of that energy into |
| 11307s | some deposit hey they sent gada and |
| 11309s | venom into the starting lineup today |
| 11311s | matthew obviously venom uh showing us |
| 11313s | primarily a lot of that trace of playing |
| 11315s | for gator that's the question mark do |
| 11317s | are we gonna start to see this team |
| 11318s | pivot more in the direction away from |
| 11320s | doofus towards the winston potential |
| 11322s | reinhardt inclusions |
| 11324s | or even as uh in his eye direction right |
| 11326s | there's a lot of ways you can go with |
| 11327s | this data coming in to start though |
| 11329s | means that we can't be too sure about |
| 11330s | what kind of tank composition they're |
| 11332s | going to be working with no one and and |
| 11334s | i think at some point this team has |
| 11336s | become underrated with how good og and |
| 11338s | ultraviolet have been and then kai as |
| 11339s | well |
| 11340s | and now |
| 11341s | for their opponents coming in that |
| 11343s | fourth seed making this election it is |
| 11346s | the florida |
| 11348s | mayhem |
| 11353s | so pretty loud for the mayhem today |
| 11357s | what's not to like about this team right |
| 11359s | uh they're really impressed i don't |
| 11361s | think expectations were sky high for |
| 11362s | this roster some lesser known names got |
| 11364s | brought in checkmate you know last |
| 11367s | season ended up playing tank uh may have |
| 11369s | mtd bag uh at one point or another so |
| 11373s | he was pretty aggressive in that |
| 11374s | particular role but now we get to see |
| 11375s | him where he sort of belongs on the dps |
| 11377s | and he looks fantastic hydro as well as |
| 11379s | often being called on to sort of |
| 11381s | operators at soldier 76 he's been |
| 11383s | incredibly consistent we talked about |
| 11385s | someone already right |
| 11386s | just an unbelievable rookie just really |
| 11389s | great awareness and mechanics on that |
| 11391s | winston he's been one of the best looks |
| 11392s | and sir margie i mean |
| 11394s | so |
| 11395s | a couple weeks ago at least some of the |
| 11396s | best body grenade stats are the best |
| 11398s | sleep starts everything you want from an |
| 11399s | honor player in an artimeter so martin |
| 11402s | has |
| 11403s | anonymous has been rock solid throughout |
| 11405s | his entire career in the overwatch |
| 11406s | league right he has been around a very |
| 11408s | long time i believe like comes in like |
| 11410s | towards uh the end of season one i |
| 11412s | believe like he comes into that new york |
| 11413s | team uh with ark on it uh he kind of |
| 11416s | takes over that role and |
| 11419s | is he the flashiest lucio player on the |
| 11421s | planet no |
| 11422s | is he a very smart consistent lucio |
| 11424s | player absolutely and i think he's the |
| 11426s | type of leader that you need to have on |
| 11427s | this team right somebody really |
| 11429s | experienced who's been there before yeah |
| 11430s | i mean he began to stick with what the |
| 11432s | new york excelsior you know many many |
| 11434s | many moons ago |
| 11436s | a team that was you know really tactical |
| 11438s | really positional and he was a huge part |
| 11440s | of that here i think both teams have |
| 11442s | really exciting backlines uh you know |
| 11444s | again this is another matchup where i |
| 11445s | want to point you with the honor play |
| 11446s | ultraviolet was the mastermind behind |
| 11448s | that ridiculous nero genji 5k with a |
| 11451s | cross map biotic grenade on ice that |
| 11454s | just really blew many people's minds |
| 11456s | venom is another young tracer superstar |
| 11460s | he's the guy you want to have your eyes |
| 11461s | on here you know if you want to see like |
| 11462s | a potential proper you know decay-esque |
| 11465s | performance it's rumored that venom is |
| 11467s | able to supply those and he did in |
| 11468s | contenders oh absolutely i mean we've uh |
| 11471s | we've seen it in the past from venom i |
| 11473s | also think if you're either of these |
| 11474s | teams |
| 11475s | obviously you want to earn money here |
| 11477s | you're going to earn as many league |
| 11478s | points as possible you want to put on a |
| 11480s | show |
| 11481s | but these are two teams that are |
| 11482s | building towards the end of the season |
| 11484s | right this is not i know the end-all |
| 11486s | be-all you know we see so many times |
| 11488s | throughout the league right a team |
| 11489s | that's really good early on and maybe |
| 11491s | it's just kind of flames out towards the |
| 11492s | end |
| 11493s | it's uh do not want to be in that |
| 11495s | situation you want to be building in the |
| 11498s | positive direction all the way through |
| 11499s | peak at the end |
| 11501s | championship here is good for 75 000 and |
| 11504s | yeah some incredible league points to |
| 11506s | help you rocket up those standings |
| 11508s | helios is going to be our first map in |
| 11511s | this series |
| 11512s | a good chance to see what atlanta reigns |
| 11514s | tank configuration is going to be we |
| 11516s | expect most likely with data here it's |
| 11519s | going to be winston yep winston can play |
| 11522s | some other reinhardt right uh we haven't |
| 11524s | seen |
| 11525s | if something interesting right it's like |
| 11526s | atlanta they get tested |
| 11529s | with that reinhardt comp that london ran |
| 11531s | i imagine you know the atlanta rain |
| 11533s | could put together a pretty good |
| 11534s | reinhardt |
| 11536s | we even seen florida deal with it no |
| 11538s | right uh i mean they did they they tried |
| 11539s | to mirror the um |
| 11541s | uh the london spitfire reincarnation |
| 11543s | hard to do against chatty to be honest |
| 11545s | uh but again they give a good account of |
| 11547s | themselves and that might be a natural |
| 11548s | look for atlanta later in this series |
| 11550s | but here we are out of the gates it's |
| 11552s | the florida mayhem versus the atlanta |
| 11554s | rain |
| 11556s | and on paper you really like this setup |
| 11559s | for the atlanta rain |
| 11560s | uh but florida has been a very strong |
| 11563s | team throughout another kickoff clash uh |
| 11565s | maybe not the kind of highlight names |
| 11567s | that you see on the atlanta rain but |
| 11569s | still very strong |
| 11571s | venom already has to respect that threat |
| 11573s | of the healing structure but gate has |
| 11574s | gone deep and he's plucked so margin out |
| 11576s | of the mix |
| 11577s | giving up his life in order to do so |
| 11578s | here but og's able to back him up that |
| 11580s | is a worth trade so gator goes to that |
| 11582s | left-hand side he's able to jump right |
| 11584s | on top of sir majid take him out and |
| 11586s | then when they'd go back to the other |
| 11588s | side of the map to try and feel like get |
| 11589s | rid of gator uh it's just the speed |
| 11591s | boost from og brings kai right into |
| 11594s | hydra on 2v1 they're able to deal with |
| 11596s | 76 on that side of the map |
| 11599s | i mean like we said get him in gator |
| 11600s | winston was like a meme for whatever |
| 11602s | reason maybe just inside of his team |
| 11603s | because i know master was teasing about |
| 11604s | it but in this series he's definitely |
| 11606s | gonna have to step up it's been a great |
| 11608s | start for you but there he over extends |
| 11609s | the mayhem are able to pull back and |
| 11611s | then they snap and punish him |
| 11613s | yes i think as well for gator like he |
| 11615s | doesn't need to be this massive |
| 11616s | playmaker on the winston right we know |
| 11618s | he's a very smart player cable just |
| 11620s | needs to play the roles right there |
| 11622s | someone's able to take out ultraviolet |
| 11623s | is |
| 11624s | gonna be looking maybe you can stall |
| 11626s | this out it'll be og gets on the point |
| 11628s | touches for a second then it'll be venom |
| 11630s | now it'll begin that good stall for the |
| 11631s | atlanta reign they start off well |
| 11634s | 42 and counting here and |
| 11636s | again they'll be pretty happy with that |
| 11638s | to begin with and that's off the back of |
| 11639s | gator going and getting that pick on sir |
| 11640s | majid again punishing that on a |
| 11642s | positioning at the start of these fights |
| 11644s | is a great way to pave the road to |
| 11645s | success |
| 11647s | he's looking to do just that pulse |
| 11652s | the stick okay he's made able to get |
| 11654s | diana who's not spry enough to get away |
| 11656s | from the blast radius in a way his body |
| 11658s | just being there with the recall almost |
| 11660s | blocked him in to get him by the bull's |
| 11662s | bomb he wasn't able to walk back that'll |
| 11664s | be a second kill |
| 11665s | coming in from venom |
| 11667s | it's two quick kills may get three is uh |
| 11671s | kind of clean that's a tick mark in the |
| 11673s | box for me matthew venom starts off the |
| 11675s | fight but finding that keep pulse bomb |
| 11676s | kill and then he sort of follows it up |
| 11678s | well crucially atlanta don't suffer for |
| 11680s | receding control over the point it's |
| 11682s | only 23 for florida to find but here |
| 11684s | this third fight this is where there's |
| 11686s | ultimate start to get bored out here |
| 11688s | keep an eye on those support ultimates |
| 11690s | primal rages as well this will be a |
| 11692s | longer one |
| 11694s | still having outside that one fight loss |
| 11697s | still really feels like atlantis control |
| 11699s | this first man they're gonna have the |
| 11700s | nano hydrant he got so low there would |
| 11702s | have died otherwise yeah attack fires |
| 11704s | are here but where are the targets it's |
| 11705s | not a target rich environment at all |
| 11707s | there it is venom steps up and it's |
| 11709s | knocked back |
| 11710s | by that helix rocket sound barry got |
| 11713s | used hit by the mayhem and kai's able to |
| 11715s | find two mines it finds a second here |
| 11717s | sharpest aim in the west on this man and |
| 11719s | the rain maintain control |
| 11721s | yes yeah it's gonna be the tactics used |
| 11723s | by kai there towards the end |
| 11726s | oh we gotta sleep here looks like |
| 11727s | they're gonna be able to sleep checkmate |
| 11728s | not able to finish him off |
| 11731s | now able to do so man atlanta's looked |
| 11733s | great here early on yeah boop on someone |
| 11736s | he should be able to touch in some way |
| 11738s | find a grenade on gator but a gift for |
| 11740s | someone in the back pocket take a pulse |
| 11741s | bomb venom is put to sleep though when |
| 11743s | animo is able to move in punishment no |
| 11745s | one can touch a pretty stellar start for |
| 11747s | the atlanta right |
| 11750s | i feel like atlanta is a team that can |
| 11752s | also feed off of the environment like |
| 11754s | the energy in the crowd right |
| 11756s | uh |
| 11757s | can be difficult sometimes to rise the |
| 11759s | occasion to like play up at home because |
| 11762s | you're at home uh where here i think you |
| 11765s | can kind of you feel the more pressure |
| 11767s | you have the fans you're going crazy and |
| 11769s | whatnot like the strikes are high all |
| 11771s | right yeah and i feel like some players |
| 11773s | rise and i feel i just like i have a |
| 11775s | feeling atlanta is like one of those |
| 11776s | teams right that will rise to the |
| 11778s | occasion like if you already asked me |
| 11780s | like a bunch of teams like that i was |
| 11781s | not really worried about like |
| 11782s | performance online lana would actually |
| 11784s | not have been one of them uh because of |
| 11785s | how deep they went in tournaments last |
| 11787s | year yeah and also they just seemed like |
| 11790s | these are the travel as well the |
| 11791s | turnaround yeah and they just seem like |
| 11793s | they're not really fazed by any of the |
| 11795s | the chatter of the talk or whatnot they |
| 11797s | they always come in play play pretty |
| 11799s | awesome |
| 11800s | widowmaker here for hydro |
| 11803s | quite the plucky pick here kai enviously |
| 11807s | looking across the map |
| 11811s | grappled to high ground here harangued |
| 11814s | by venom who has to recall theirs to |
| 11816s | very low health so much oh we got venom |
| 11819s | it's beautiful stuff venom again trying |
| 11821s | to be a real solo player here but so |
| 11823s | marcia wasn't born yesterday |
| 11826s | i think you have to take that though if |
| 11827s | you're atlanta like how many times are |
| 11829s | they gonna be able to take out venom |
| 11831s | like that |
| 11833s | uh stick around |
| 11835s | it's uh it also was huge that they hit a |
| 11837s | biotic grenade on the gator early on |
| 11839s | forced him back |
| 11840s | said atlanta not able to gain some space |
| 11845s | later pushing up here |
| 11847s | trying to |
| 11849s | shake someone free |
| 11851s | he eventually backs away with that |
| 11852s | rocket jump |
| 11856s | a bit of poke here from kai no real |
| 11857s | commitment this left-hand side until the |
| 11858s | wheel oh my the winston |
| 11861s | no body block kyle gets his head ripped |
| 11863s | clean off there |
| 11866s | that one's gonna like gator low as well |
| 11867s | hydra has a lot of space down to work |
| 11869s | with |
| 11871s | do you want to match this widow you |
| 11873s | think if you're atlanta if you're kai |
| 11875s | i'd back myself any day of the week |
| 11878s | yeah don't call your kovacs kind for |
| 11879s | nothing |
| 11880s | right i mean he's uh his aim is just |
| 11883s | crazy good uh we did see |
| 11885s | uh in our first series they are not to |
| 11887s | match the widowmaker right um |
| 11889s | i was happy being there 76 and it worked |
| 11892s | out quite well |
| 11895s | all right a lot of pressure on gaddy he |
| 11896s | just can't catch a break constantly his |
| 11898s | checkmate just harassing him working the |
| 11900s | main tank down whereas venom finds |
| 11902s | himself |
| 11903s | a little out of position i mean |
| 11906s | watching these two rounds back to back |
| 11908s | it is like uh |
| 11910s | is night |
| 11911s | yeah i mean it is |
| 11913s | wild the the swing here is florida has |
| 11917s | been i mean the kai is not even to a |
| 11919s | visor yet uh dude the pushes from |
| 11922s | atlanta have just resulted in nothing |
| 11925s | checkmates look really good on the |
| 11927s | tracer so far |
| 11928s | okay big biomate there from sir margin |
| 11930s | as we expect they're going to stay alive |
| 11932s | though that is the atlanta reign kai |
| 11934s | gets nano but says i'm not going to use |
| 11936s | attack fighter here and there's no one |
| 11937s | there to save him you see the position |
| 11939s | of ultraviolet he can't see kai at all |
| 11941s | from there someone is just ruining the |
| 11943s | back line |
| 11946s | i mean there's not much to talk about |
| 11948s | here |
| 11949s | this has been dominance |
| 11951s | from the florida mayhem they look like |
| 11953s | they woke up here on this second point |
| 11955s | checkmate on the tracer was huge some |
| 11957s | big biotic grenades from sir majed |
| 11960s | we will go into our third point here on |
| 11962s | ilios |
| 11963s | somebody woke the land dragons |
| 11967s | i have to say |
| 11969s | someone we knew was incredible we sort |
| 11970s | of talked him up coming into this and |
| 11972s | maybe checkmate got glossed over a bit |
| 11974s | while we're getting excited about venom |
| 11975s | but checkmate was always able to be in |
| 11978s | position and hydron just how much was he |
| 11980s | really threatened you know tracer can't |
| 11982s | go upstairs can't play that high ground |
| 11984s | positioning it has to be |
| 11986s | gator to dive the widow |
| 11988s | hydra was just impossible to track |
| 11991s | and now they go back to the 76 you kind |
| 11993s | of have to you can't play the widow here |
| 11995s | on this map |
| 11996s | this is where atlanta had a little bit |
| 11998s | of a niche maybe now hydra a little bit |
| 12000s | easier of a dive target can make a play |
| 12003s | for him |
| 12006s | venom |
| 12008s | someone you really want to keep your |
| 12009s | eyes on in this round here is he able to |
| 12011s | be in position he got caught outside of |
| 12013s | the play a lot of the time in that |
| 12014s | previous round well we cut to him and |
| 12016s | he's got no one anywhere it is these |
| 12018s | teams just getting annihilated by the |
| 12019s | counter dive |
| 12021s | someone's with a bio here can venom |
| 12023s | chase no |
| 12024s | so margin pumping him with heels it's |
| 12026s | not going to be enough i think so much |
| 12027s | maybe accidentally hits og there i think |
| 12029s | he sleeps him yeah i don't think it's |
| 12031s | intentional i think it's just |
| 12033s | he probably fires a sleep towards the |
| 12035s | winston i thought he's trying to heal up |
| 12036s | someone right yeah |
| 12038s | either way you take those it's a trade |
| 12039s | here been a little lower on health than |
| 12041s | checkmate was when he turned up to the |
| 12042s | point so he'll have to go back for a |
| 12044s | mini health pack another one from |
| 12046s | martian another biotic grenade on gator |
| 12048s | i mean |
| 12048s | basically please like battle anna i mean |
| 12051s | when we watch for his pov uh he's |
| 12054s | definitely someone who's obviously |
| 12055s | focused on healing but we're gonna put |
| 12057s | down some damage as well he does put |
| 12059s | himself in those positions sometimes as |
| 12061s | kai with the cleanup but that'll be |
| 12063s | florida taking the point |
| 12065s | a good opener again losing gator early |
| 12066s | is what costs atlanta in that fight even |
| 12068s | if it takes a while for florida to |
| 12070s | convert it into a capture |
| 12072s | but no one was in control at that time |
| 12074s | so the delay is not an issue charles |
| 12077s | checkmate |
| 12079s | okay gets what he came for there and it |
| 12081s | might have been an element of trying to |
| 12082s | body block again the player before you |
| 12084s | go for the recall prevent them from |
| 12085s | backing away from the bomb he gets two |
| 12087s | and that was just left on the ground |
| 12088s | someone slipped on a banana peel yeah |
| 12090s | now that he doesn't have to play main |
| 12092s | tank you start to see what checkmate is |
| 12094s | made out of |
| 12096s | it's uh |
| 12097s | just kind of shows you what went on with |
| 12098s | florida last season oh man uh a big |
| 12100s | bionic running up on the high ground |
| 12102s | there |
| 12104s | so fire for uv had to be |
| 12106s | yeah but still you lost kind he's got |
| 12109s | your visor |
| 12110s | gonna have to wait this is gonna be |
| 12112s | probably another 10 15 this is bad news |
| 12114s | for the atlanta right man yeah |
| 12117s | great job for florida they spend nothing |
| 12119s | for that as well they just dive in |
| 12120s | margin with the bio |
| 12122s | you can see someone now just trying to |
| 12124s | play out of line of sight as much as he |
| 12125s | can remain visible to his honor oh the |
| 12128s | buyer okay well primer doesn't come up |
| 12130s | in time they lose someone he was banking |
| 12132s | on getting that prime off they actually |
| 12135s | end up investing a sound barrier here |
| 12137s | and they're trying to hold on to this |
| 12138s | point |
| 12139s | now that doesn't pay off at all i guess |
| 12141s | there's no accounting for a a sort of |
| 12143s | nano visor here from kai |
| 12145s | and he is in a perfect position to |
| 12147s | receive the maid of mayhem as they drop |
| 12148s | down from the high ground so they get 70 |
| 12150s | they still have a nano of their own for |
| 12151s | the next fight they are going to walk |
| 12153s | into a beat you see this |
| 12155s | yes what you invest your sound barrier |
| 12158s | to get out nano in visor |
| 12163s | but you also do get a little bit extra |
| 12165s | percentage uh so |
| 12167s | looks like someone gonna go to the point |
| 12168s | and he's just trying to drag players out |
| 12170s | in the open probably trying to set up |
| 12171s | hydra for a big visor hydraulic scouting |
| 12173s | here maybe looking for venom also if he |
| 12175s | can like flank |
| 12176s | and use a nano effectively with his own |
| 12178s | attack fighter he gets it here |
| 12180s | that's one oh oh lg uses the beat but |
| 12183s | doesn't get it off he never got to touch |
| 12185s | the ground hydra shredded him to pieces |
| 12187s | before he could so that beat we talked |
| 12188s | about |
| 12189s | completely nullified that was an ajax |
| 12193s | it's the point flips and now you have |
| 12196s | nothing to use if you're atlanta |
| 12198s | pulse bomb for checkmate |
| 12200s | seen how good proper has been with those |
| 12202s | he has a opportunity to seal this map |
| 12206s | in the mayhem's favor with just this all |
| 12208s | oh but even then someone jumps right on |
| 12210s | top of ochi |
| 12212s | man he's been getting punished tough |
| 12213s | couple fights for og now the atlanta had |
| 12216s | to step up onto the point and make |
| 12217s | something happen warding pulse bomb |
| 12219s | dropped to the feet of data but he was |
| 12220s | able to avoid it he has to jump away |
| 12222s | though towards his back line he needs |
| 12223s | ultraviolet right now |
| 12226s | someone gets taken down by him at the |
| 12227s | very least hightronzo he's on cleanup |
| 12230s | crew there's not much that venom can do |
| 12232s | here no recall available ultraviolet |
| 12233s | going to be surrounded and removed in |
| 12235s | the florida mayhem |
| 12237s | squeaky clean the last two rounds |
| 12241s | maybe like you mentioned that first |
| 12243s | round just shake the nerves a little bit |
| 12245s | i thought elena played really good there |
| 12247s | better one round than two maps like the |
| 12248s | shock map yeah that is also true |
| 12251s | as uh |
| 12253s | fans coming out with the mayhem signs |
| 12254s | yeah yeah unofficial slogan shout out to |
| 12257s | brick wall street of course very uh very |
| 12259s | important historical feature |
| 12261s | of miami all right ladies and gentlemen |
| 12263s | we'll be back on the other side of these |
| 12264s | messages that may him start the series |

| 12532s | matt you kind of mentioned it briefly a |
| 12534s | little bit of a slow start for the |
| 12536s | florida mayhem on illios but they |
| 12538s | recover awfully quickly and all of a |
| 12541s | sudden we start to see the atlanta rain |
| 12542s | get completely rolled honestly very hard |
| 12545s | to start anything off in that round |
| 12548s | yeah after the first round it was all |
| 12550s | florida mayhem and how do you bounce |
| 12552s | back |
| 12553s | if you're the atlanta reign uh looks |
| 12555s | like we do have some subs for atlanta so |
| 12557s | you'll have nero in for venom then you |
| 12560s | will also have hawk in for gator so it |
| 12563s | actually seems like these players are |
| 12564s | almost like tied to each other in a way |
| 12566s | like when we see |
| 12567s | gator come in and he's gonna play the |
| 12569s | winston they kind of bring in venom to |
| 12572s | match the tracer with that and they're |
| 12574s | looking for different types of stuff |
| 12575s | right whether it be |
| 12577s | zarya based compositions doomfist they |
| 12580s | end up bringing in nero because he's a |
| 12581s | little bit more flexible yeah absolutely |
| 12584s | i mean the mayhem i think it's pretty |
| 12585s | safe to say it's a little bit risky for |
| 12587s | them to run that winston tracer comp |
| 12590s | at this level it looks like it's not |
| 12592s | quite worked out yeah especially it's a |
| 12593s | team like the florida mayhem who that's |
| 12595s | their bread and butter right that's |
| 12596s | exactly the kind of style they like to |
| 12597s | go for atlanta reign have had a lot of |
| 12599s | success working doomfist comps yeah but |
| 12602s | there are some teams that are starting |
| 12603s | starting to be able to figure them out |
| 12605s | play around them unravel them just a |
| 12606s | little bit but we saw them so heavily |
| 12608s | featured in their previous series |
| 12610s | between the shock and the justice that |
| 12612s | is quite clear there's still a lot of |
| 12613s | run in doomfist comps yeah and i'm |
| 12615s | surprised we haven't seen some more |
| 12617s | teams mess around with some of the zarya |
| 12619s | based compositions uh i think that's |
| 12621s | something that |
| 12623s | i think will come back and i think teams |
| 12625s | will be able to play it at a high level |
| 12627s | and i think it'll be successful against |
| 12628s | some of these compositions that people |
| 12629s | are running now uh you feel like atlanta |
| 12632s | has a roster that would be able to do |
| 12633s | something like that uh with hawking as |
| 12636s | that you know solo tank |
| 12638s | type player |
| 12639s | uh it'll be interesting that they decide |
| 12641s | to run here on king's row though as |
| 12643s | that's the map that they decide to go to |
| 12644s | you think king's row that's like a a |
| 12647s | spot for the reinhardt you know even |
| 12648s | winston pretty good on king's row uh |
| 12652s | what do you go with do you go with like |
| 12654s | a really aggressive doomfist style of |
| 12656s | play uh do you try and play some zarya |
| 12658s | here |
| 12659s | uh |
| 12660s | what what are your options for atlanta |
| 12663s | i mean we see nero come in right could |
| 12665s | mean multiple different things that guy |
| 12667s | is very flexible you know i talked about |
| 12669s | right at the start of this this sort of |
| 12670s | segment actually that you know we saw |
| 12672s | him play farah last week he's played so |
| 12675s | much echo you've seen him in the past |
| 12677s | yep uh kind of kind of everything even a |
| 12679s | bit of tracer |
| 12680s | in his time i guess the question really |
| 12682s | is here is you know |
| 12685s | what do they later rain fall back on on |
| 12686s | a map like king's row which we still see |
| 12688s | a ton of winston play on uh and it's |
| 12690s | really hard to defend |
| 12692s | with winston on king's row in general |
| 12694s | right like their first peak it's hard to |
| 12695s | break line of sight if you try and back |
| 12696s | around the hotel as defenders you |
| 12698s | usually get chased here so it feels like |
| 12700s | a fine map to have that doomfist look |
| 12702s | here |
| 12703s | um and that's what we saw right even you |
| 12705s | know up against the reinhardt comp |
| 12707s | we saw the this atlanta rain team play |
| 12709s | the doofus look i think it was against |
| 12711s | the gladiators actually yeah uh didn't |
| 12712s | go well for the nomad so this is their |
| 12715s | map pick though they're definitely |
| 12716s | feeling confident the hope is have they |
| 12718s | got something new |
| 12721s | i mean maybe they don't even need |
| 12722s | something new right because you know |
| 12723s | that florida will most likely end up |
| 12725s | playing something winston-based so you |
| 12727s | don't exactly |
| 12728s | need |
| 12730s | to kind of |
| 12731s | recreate uh you know |
| 12733s | make up a new strat out of nowhere right |
| 12735s | you can kind of go back to some of the |
| 12736s | stuff that was working for the |
| 12738s | intelligent rain a little bit earlier in |
| 12739s | the season |
| 12741s | so right now it'll be the florida mayhem |
| 12743s | kicking things off on d |
| 12745s | they'll be hovering over this |
| 12746s | winston-based composition the only thing |
| 12748s | different is you have checkmate |
| 12750s | it's looking like he's going to play the |
| 12752s | echo oh is this a concession for the |
| 12754s | doomfist potentially so actually it's |
| 12756s | probably it's probably a uh a call when |
| 12759s | you see hawk and |
| 12760s | nero come in the game you probably |
| 12762s | assume like that you know if they were |
| 12764s | going to play tracer the whole time they |
| 12766s | would have been right maybe |
| 12768s | can force them to switch to tracer by |
| 12770s | playing the echo and being effective and |
| 12772s | uh really giving them problems |
| 12775s | obviously tracer an option for both kai |
| 12778s | and nero but just to pick we see a |
| 12779s | little less from them i mean that's why |
| 12780s | they have that tracer specialist in |
| 12782s | venom on this team |
| 12784s | so i like this from atlanta |
| 12789s | so something new yeah and i was saying i |
| 12791s | really like these compositions that |
| 12793s | include the zarya i think the double |
| 12795s | bubble with the zarya with the reaper in |
| 12797s | the mix is so strong we see dallas fuel |
| 12799s | do it in their timing in the way they |
| 12801s | play it it's like to perfection |
| 12803s | i think it can definitely give a lot of |
| 12804s | other teams some issues though |
| 12807s | someone will uh be the welcoming party |
| 12808s | for now and he's uh well given about a |
| 12811s | grenade to go back with again trying to |
| 12812s | break the line of sight here's what you |
| 12814s | have to do |
| 12815s | you have to play inside this building |
| 12816s | and the rain looked to slowly scale up |
| 12818s | their control but hawk took a ton of |
| 12820s | damage on the approach here yeah he got |
| 12822s | he got hit by something i mean he is |
| 12824s | basically dead as nero goes to the high |
| 12826s | ground |
| 12827s | gets a bubble drops down so you see it's |
| 12830s | basically the atlanta range trying to |
| 12831s | chase the florida mayhem down is |
| 12834s | oh an odd spot to be fighting in i mean |
| 12837s | someone's in the perfect position he |
| 12839s | just rotates behind them the problem |
| 12841s | with the rain is that map they're |
| 12842s | positioning they're maneuvering it's a |
| 12844s | little telegraphed they go where the |
| 12846s | zaga goes i mean they have no mobility |
| 12849s | uh |
| 12851s | nobody can x high ground alone outside |
| 12853s | the reaper so everybody else you know is |
| 12856s | going to be walking around together is |
| 12857s | this the right comfort later to play for |
| 12859s | this part of the map |
| 12861s | well |
| 12862s | if you were going to play something else |
| 12863s | what would it be it would have been like |
| 12865s | a doomfist right but i think your doofus |
| 12867s | dive yeah they're so spread out |
| 12869s | you don't really have a great |
| 12870s | opportunity to dive right hydra is going |
| 12872s | to put down a ton of damage that's a |
| 12873s | long range shot from og on a hydra |
| 12876s | that's poke |
| 12878s | or you would have played something |
| 12879s | winston-based so they're clearly not so |
| 12881s | i think this is probably their best shot |
| 12883s | attack for chive is gonna be pressured |
| 12884s | immediately by the winston checkmate's |
| 12886s | filled by nero though and someone is |
| 12888s | sleeping it off that first pick |
| 12891s | really turns into a golden opportunity |
| 12893s | for the reign here to have this but |
| 12896s | someone's not getting out of this one |
| 12897s | alive there's no way oh my god are you |
| 12900s | kidding |
| 12901s | dancing the bubble what a magician sleep |
| 12903s | down on towards nero when he's taken |
| 12905s | down i can't believe it yeah and they |
| 12907s | end up using their sound barrier and |
| 12909s | their attack visor here in atlanta |
| 12913s | they're just trying to get this hanging |
| 12915s | percentage oh a nice biotic grenade |
| 12916s | there so you can maybe use your sound |
| 12918s | back here if you're the florida mayhem |
| 12920s | and try and fight this |
| 12921s | all trucks off that bio with a self |
| 12923s | shield i think that's to use from him |
| 12925s | though yeah it's good man available it's |
| 12926s | going to be a graph to bail him out here |
| 12928s | checkmate was able to laser down kai but |
| 12930s | nero is in the thick of things just |
| 12932s | where he wants to be |
| 12934s | yeah checkmate ends up using his |
| 12936s | duplicate there so nice first push here |
| 12939s | by the atlanta reign is they'll take |
| 12941s | point a |
| 12942s | and i wonder if you're gonna see some |
| 12944s | changes come out here for the florida |
| 12945s | mayhem uh |
| 12947s | i think this is a really good call for |
| 12948s | atlanta put some pressure on to someone |
| 12951s | right you get the reaper in his face |
| 12953s | force him out |
| 12954s | uh make it difficult for the supports |
| 12957s | where they can't play as offensive they |
| 12959s | have to try and keep some of these |
| 12960s | players alive because the reaper and the |
| 12962s | zarya are going to come in do tons of |
| 12963s | damage |
| 12964s | now |
| 12965s | the high ground should be less of a |
| 12967s | concern but the mayhem want to use it as |
| 12969s | a staging ground by going the long way |
| 12970s | around so martin might have to drop |
| 12972s | physically drop here |
| 12974s | i love that positioning here from kai |
| 12976s | just in case there's a drop down he's |
| 12977s | playing back and safe the biotic grenade |
| 12979s | really sets someone up there but |
| 12981s | i mean it's a heavy toll that is being |
| 12983s | levied at the mayhem to try and get |
| 12984s | anything going here |
| 12986s | the lorraine definitely were expecting |
| 12988s | something like this |
| 12989s | oh for sure and i think they know that |
| 12992s | they have this composition that they can |
| 12993s | fall back on |
| 12994s | and could possibly work as |
| 12997s | the payload will keep on moving and |
| 13000s | hawk being able to do this type of work |
| 13002s | and damage and |
| 13003s | not even like really fully charged and |
| 13005s | soon at like 50 there's 60 percent uh |
| 13009s | you get one of these fights that kind of |
| 13010s | has all ten players in it he's gonna get |
| 13013s | up to you know ninety percent eighty |
| 13014s | percent charge without the bubbles are |
| 13016s | with two bubbles now for zaria uh |
| 13019s | him and nero can just get sped boost in |
| 13021s | and just clean people up |
| 13023s | fork has a bubble in reserve here uses |
| 13025s | it on his reaper so nero is nanoed and |
| 13027s | ready to rumble |
| 13029s | can't really get close enough to get |
| 13030s | value out of the mayhem |
| 13032s | keep a respectful distance |
| 13035s | i mean there isn't a great spot here to |
| 13036s | intercept checkmate who just gets enough |
| 13038s | altitude to avoid the damage |
| 13042s | but now he's right in front of someone |
| 13043s | and a bubble fenero yeah you really |
| 13045s | can't stop this route but it's so scary |
| 13046s | as winston to play around this look at |
| 13048s | the position he can play from he's |
| 13049s | basically playing almost like main tank |
| 13051s | as uh hog is going to blame in that off |
| 13054s | tango where he had nero on the cart he's |
| 13056s | inside of the winston bubble he's just |
| 13059s | battling someone and |
| 13061s | what does someone do uh if a bubble |
| 13063s | comes in does he shoot |
| 13064s | a nero because if he gets him low guess |
| 13066s | what he's gonna write for him go away |
| 13068s | and then you're gonna have a charge of |
| 13069s | zarya stepping up to the plate uh he's |
| 13071s | probably pretty healthy at that time |
| 13073s | it's a really difficult thing to deal |
| 13074s | with |
| 13075s | atlanta showing us that they've |
| 13076s | definitely been working on something in |
| 13078s | preparation for the kickoff clash |
| 13081s | so far this composition has really |
| 13082s | worked wonders for them attack visor |
| 13084s | here |
| 13085s | checkmate i think he had to dump |
| 13086s | altitude into the pit to avoid that |
| 13088s | guy's wondering where he's going to come |
| 13090s | back up oh he's that's been answered |
| 13092s | there he is helix rocket connected hawk |
| 13095s | yeah graviton sir dead blossom's all |
| 13097s | there the atlanta reign is starting to |
| 13099s | just punish the mayhem here so much time |
| 13101s | left on the clock hydra with the biotic |
| 13103s | field here trying to do with nero who |
| 13104s | thought to close the gap and the zaya |
| 13106s | bubble helps him stay nice and hail and |
| 13108s | hearty duplicated lasagna here what |
| 13110s | could check my do can he build a graph |
| 13112s | not quite not enough time there |
| 13114s | takes the disguise but he is limping |
| 13118s | and it's just people trickling out of |
| 13120s | the spawn one by one a map completion |
| 13124s | 224 on the clock |
| 13126s | you talk about a way to punch back |
| 13129s | fear the elena reign that is a haymaker |
| 13131s | thrown right in the florida mayhem's |
| 13132s | direction |
| 13135s | and again we saw hawke come in first |
| 13137s | thought was |
| 13138s | is that doomfist going to make another |
| 13139s | appearance and |
| 13141s | it's quite clear to see that a lot of |
| 13142s | teams |
| 13143s | feel that xy composition is really like |
| 13145s | the next step the next evolution in our |
| 13148s | metagame here |
| 13149s | remember this is the the mayhem at |
| 13151s | fourth seed and the rain at seventh |
| 13153s | atlanta |
| 13158s | have a pretty a rough ending to the uh |
| 13160s | kickoff clash qualifies right they end |
| 13162s | up three and three what what what is |
| 13164s | that sign they were so they took it away |
| 13165s | it just was us |
| 13168s | i mean i think we lost the other part of |
| 13170s | it there's probably some results |
| 13172s | yeah they're a session stand right now |
| 13174s | all right |
| 13175s | everybody's making their silence bring |
| 13177s | them out tonight |
| 13178s | shout out super super |
| 13180s | super serious game |
| 13182s | plus seven for the florida mayhem that |
| 13184s | map differential across the entirety of |
| 13186s | the kickoff clash qualifiers i mean they |
| 13188s | were in a position with you know maybe |
| 13189s | one more win to |
| 13191s | be |
| 13192s | second place |
| 13193s | [Applause] |
| 13201s | shout out youtube chat for that one |
| 13205s | i always struggle with things from chat |
| 13207s | make it into |
| 13209s | real life yeah yeah |
| 13211s | that's that's what happens there they're |
| 13212s | basically the same thing max most people |
| 13214s | walk in with more views |
| 13216s | there were a whole contingent of people |
| 13217s | with mobius t-shirts |
| 13219s | that's real that's really committing to |
| 13220s | the meme i've got to commend you for |
| 13222s | that that's too funny |
| 13224s | what happens right now |
| 13226s | two minutes 24 on the clock for the |
| 13228s | atlanta reign that is i mean let's be |
| 13229s | honest by standards that's super |
| 13231s | comfortable blistering speed yeah so now |
| 13234s | you can play the doomfist on defense |
| 13235s | right play a little bit more aggressive |
| 13238s | the doomfist and the genji you |
| 13239s | ultimately you have to pressure that ana |
| 13241s | otherwise the winston never dies yeah i |
| 13242s | don't think you can play like the zarya |
| 13244s | is just so passive on the defensive end |
| 13246s | here i think they just jump over your |
| 13247s | head right yeah you have to play |
| 13249s | something else |
| 13251s | a moment from hydrant here a quick peek |
| 13252s | in |
| 13253s | a switch |
| 13256s | to the soldier 76. okay so nero on the |
| 13260s | genji here on defense i did wonder if |
| 13262s | there was like a tracer you know |
| 13263s | potential here for the rain but they |
| 13265s | don't go for defensive echo |
| 13266s | interestingly enough |
| 13269s | yeah they decide to go with uh the genji |
| 13271s | and the 76 on defense so |
| 13275s | vero opting for the genji maybe just |
| 13277s | feels a little bit better on the genji |
| 13278s | as opposed to tracer the civil scenario |
| 13281s | that was really nice pressure on hydron |
| 13283s | from hawk and then there's a bio name |
| 13285s | from uv |
| 13287s | great way to keep him quiet but not for |
| 13288s | long apparently that's going to be a |
| 13291s | max range helix |
| 13292s | yeah i mean the other was in the the |
| 13294s | window above the point and hydro just |
| 13296s | sends it |
| 13298s | wow |
| 13300s | i mean soldier 76 really strong i know |
| 13303s | you're able to land a few of those shots |
| 13304s | a helix is a direct hit at range |
| 13308s | ah back to the reaper guy well so |
| 13311s | obviously we talked about how it's a |
| 13312s | little bit passive on the beginning of |
| 13314s | this map but in the second stage of the |
| 13316s | map with the close quarter scenario uh |
| 13318s | you actually think that the zarya and |
| 13320s | the reaper could be quite effective |
| 13322s | yeah absolutely |
| 13324s | high ground less |
| 13325s | plentiful |
| 13327s | for the florida mayhem |
| 13329s | they have to work their way through this |
| 13331s | choke so the atlanta reign look to |
| 13332s | really try and burn as much clock as |
| 13334s | possible in this part of the map |
| 13336s | specifically |
| 13337s | see that fresh from sir majid wants to |
| 13338s | try and peek and he'll have to be at a |
| 13340s | peak like this to see his winston |
| 13343s | maybe he would have hoped to maybe give |
| 13344s | a buyer to someone as he went forward |
| 13346s | there but yeah someone is |
| 13348s | yeah that'll happen and you don't have |
| 13349s | great sidelines as anna to really see |
| 13351s | your main tank there you risk taking a |
| 13352s | ton of soldiers and poke damage this is |
| 13354s | terrible |
| 13356s | it's difficult it's going to be |
| 13358s | difficult for someone to gain some space |
| 13359s | in this area of the map like when he |
| 13361s | goes in you're going to have the reaper |
| 13363s | there you're going to have the zarya all |
| 13365s | charged up and even for the rest of the |
| 13367s | team the follow-up right you're just |
| 13368s | going to have the zarya controlling this |
| 13370s | choke yeah zai just pushes in after the |
| 13372s | winston goes over her head she's got a |
| 13374s | ton of charge and she'll burn down one |
| 13375s | of your key backliners extremely tanky |
| 13379s | bubbles coming up |
| 13380s | this is a good solution push forward |
| 13382s | with uh you know a big nano visor |
| 13386s | not ideal for hydro now we're a little |
| 13388s | bit dicey you still have to get og make |
| 13390s | it get away |
| 13392s | ridiculous |
| 13396s | it's a good idea |
| 13400s | nothing subtle about it really |
| 13402s | let's use nano boost let's use the visor |
| 13404s | and we'll run it it's nice to know that |
| 13406s | you know at the fundamental level over |
| 13407s | what still caters to the primal urges of |
| 13410s | press w use ultimate |
| 13414s | it's been a lot of teams who've made a |
| 13415s | decent amount of money off of uh |
| 13417s | w press ultimate shout out my boy bumper |
| 13421s | 338 on the clock here for the florida |
| 13423s | mayhem |
| 13425s | don't have to deal with such an |
| 13426s | impressive choke scenario anymore so |
| 13428s | very good situation for them |
| 13431s | hawk hasn't really built that grab yet |
| 13433s | obviously didn't place aye from the |
| 13434s | start of the round |
| 13435s | and someone would love to drop down into |
| 13438s | the kiddie pool and start throwing hands |
| 13441s | i think he's cautious just trying to |
| 13443s | figure out where this reaper is going to |
| 13444s | go yeah into the back line he goes sound |
| 13446s | barry for the florida mayhem except |
| 13448s | hydron |
| 13450s | attack visor's going to wake someone up |
| 13451s | who has a primal rage but really doesn't |
| 13454s | want to have to use it kai looking |
| 13455s | searching finds very little with that |
| 13457s | tactical |
| 13458s | yeah it buys you a little bit of space |
| 13460s | but it doesn't matter because it's gonna |
| 13461s | come back in with the primal rage didn't |
| 13464s | have to burn it there |
| 13466s | knocking nero off the side of the |
| 13467s | hydrant stole that one with a helix but |
| 13470s | we talked about how good |
| 13472s | the atlanta reigns time is florida |
| 13474s | mayhem answering right back i mean you |
| 13476s | can't do anything about someone after |
| 13477s | your lucio your keep your key boop |
| 13480s | against the winston just gets blown up |
| 13482s | by sir majid before the fight begins |
| 13484s | that's the threat of having someone like |
| 13485s | this this this aren't a superstar in |
| 13488s | your back line |
| 13489s | so you think grab here is a fight win |
| 13492s | it should be if ultraviolet especially |
| 13494s | if there'll be a winston bubble thrown |
| 13495s | down around ideally maybe you play |
| 13496s | around the timing of that but you need |
| 13497s | to hit the bio a fight win with a grab |
| 13499s | here |
| 13500s | you're basically securing yourself a |
| 13502s | better time |
| 13503s | right away and let's check my duplicates |
| 13506s | zaya double bubbles |
| 13508s | yeah |
| 13509s | could be a different story hawk's not |
| 13510s | very charged up here so i'm okay with |
| 13513s | this but in the meantime nero yeah |
| 13516s | doing a lot of work with that |
| 13517s | nano boost |
| 13519s | they like to just dump nothing into it |
| 13521s | uh florida |
| 13523s | they they see nero he ends up getting a |
| 13526s | nano boost hawk ends up using the grab |
| 13528s | they lose uh one player they lose |
| 13530s | someone at the beginning they decide you |
| 13532s | know what let's just not throw anything |
| 13533s | else into this |
| 13535s | we come back in this next fight right |
| 13537s | maybe you can just use |
| 13539s | uh the visor you can save nano maybe you |
| 13541s | can use just a duplicate right make a |
| 13543s | play |
| 13545s | and you win that you have some ultimates |
| 13546s | left for the end of the map |
| 13549s | i guess good composure from florida here |
| 13551s | playing around their ultimate economy |
| 13552s | they get that group right that's what |
| 13553s | you need at the start of these fights |
| 13554s | hydro oh there it is great sleep from |
| 13556s | ultraviolet he had to hit that |
| 13559s | shuts down the key damage threat but |
| 13561s | there's more follow-up than just the |
| 13562s | soldier 76 |
| 13564s | florida they spend here checkmate with a |
| 13566s | duplicate of desire two old five three |
| 13569s | old fights excuse me and they get what |
| 13571s | they came for now it's a little scary |
| 13572s | for atlanta |
| 13574s | yeah this is elena they're gonna come |
| 13575s | back they're gonna have another |
| 13576s | opportunity here they're going to end up |
| 13578s | getting sound barrier but most likely so |
| 13580s | will the florida mayhem is |
| 13583s | florida has a few players back up a |
| 13585s | little bit oh it's gonna be hydra with a |
| 13586s | long-range kill |
| 13588s | hawk there i think he had to use a |
| 13589s | bubble to get rid of his own by the |
| 13590s | grenade or the the anti-hill that was on |
| 13592s | him |
| 13593s | still florida another boop nicely done |
| 13595s | by og that's going to be key to keep |
| 13596s | someone off your back line is here put |
| 13598s | him in the purview of that reaper attack |
| 13601s | visor from kai right now someone go |
| 13604s | for a primal |
| 13606s | staff the maim is still prodding here |
| 13607s | they're trying to find an opening they |
| 13608s | get one with a helix rocket on the kai |
| 13610s | but they've lost the winston again sound |
| 13612s | barrier comes in and blows it all up |
| 13615s | and the sound barrier was just a second |
| 13617s | late so they're not able to keep someone |
| 13619s | alive so you're gonna lose checkmate as |
| 13622s | well as |
| 13623s | see a minute and 46 on the clock |
| 13627s | that is where the payload is it's a |
| 13629s | last-ditch effort is okay we're gonna |
| 13630s | see the reinhardt base composition come |
| 13632s | in here for the florida mayhem so |
| 13635s | reinhardt mixed with the may |
| 13638s | okay florida trying to |
| 13640s | go for some psychological warfare |
| 13643s | against the rain hanzo putting their |
| 13645s | worst nightmare in front of the hanzo |
| 13647s | for kai make use of this high ground |
| 13649s | that's natural to you as a defender here |
| 13652s | for this look for the main head |
| 13655s | okay check my worried about maybe the |
| 13657s | hanzo give him a head shot he goes for |
| 13658s | an ice block there awfully early |
| 13660s | yeah just spamming the arrows possibly |
| 13662s | through there but still ice block is a |
| 13664s | huge |
| 13665s | cooldown okay they don't really find |
| 13667s | much great maywald that's going to |
| 13668s | pretty much negate a lot of that |
| 13670s | graviton surge someone's bio right now |
| 13672s | though and hydra's going to go for it oh |
| 13673s | she's trying to back away langlow in the |
| 13675s | corner is ultraviolet arnold has failed |
| 13677s | and hydraulic |
| 13678s | frustrated as he's foiled with that |
| 13680s | ultimate can only find the one |
| 13682s | ultraviolet still alive and hydron's |
| 13684s | team gets plucked out from under him or |
| 13686s | inside a minute left |
| 13689s | so the beat again for atlanta is atlanta |
| 13693s | trying to hold on strong their point a |
| 13695s | defense was not good mitch but as soon |
| 13697s | as they were able to play this zarya |
| 13698s | composition they looked quite strong as |
| 13701s | a cassidy comes out here at the end |
| 13706s | on the cowboy |
| 13709s | don't see much of that at all so far |
| 13714s | let's see how impactful it ends up being |
| 13716s | still pretty threatened by the uh the |
| 13718s | hanzo one you don't have a flashbang |
| 13719s | anymore so |
| 13721s | free damage for nero i'll take that he |
| 13723s | says that shield from someone is really |
| 13725s | not always punished |
| 13727s | and i spoke to the dome |
| 13730s | and now the mayhem are in position |
| 13732s | someone shield ever low but kai gets him |
| 13734s | with a man grenade he's a soundbar it's |
| 13736s | only going to be provided for three |
| 13737s | players for the atlanta raider hawks |
| 13738s | under pressure hydro can keep popping |
| 13740s | away |
| 13741s | [Applause] |
| 13745s | again another mad grenade connection |
| 13746s | ultraviolet looking a little scared in |
| 13748s | the corner now dragon strike comes |
| 13750s | through with the blizzards thrown down |
| 13752s | and the mayhem finished the map |
| 13754s | [Applause] |
| 13759s | best florida can do is draw here right |
| 13761s | so the elena rain they'll have 224 |
| 13765s | to take checkpoint |
| 13767s | see if they're able to do something |
| 13770s | wind map number two would be a big |
| 13771s | bounce back after you know they look |
| 13773s | good the first point of map number one |
| 13775s | fell apart after that but they're |
| 13777s | bringing in hawk and nero look quite |
| 13779s | good running these zarya based |
| 13780s | compositions as uh take a look on |
| 13782s | florida you know it looks like they're |
| 13784s | talking a little bit deciding what to |
| 13786s | possibly run here at the start |
| 13789s | whichever way you slice it |
| 13791s | atlanta reigns sort of move to azalea |
| 13793s | based composition is really it's working |
| 13795s | they can absolutely make it happen with |
| 13797s | with this team composition right |
| 13799s | nero |
| 13800s | you think back as well to his stint on |
| 13802s | the san francisco shock there was like a |
| 13803s | really long time where it was like like |
| 13805s | reaper lucio moira based meadow right |
| 13807s | with the winston and nero was you know |
| 13809s | playing a lot of the dps heroes in that |
| 13811s | sort of setup so this is super natural |
| 13812s | for him |
| 13814s | kai obviously won't play the widow for |
| 13816s | the entire round here and look with no |
| 13818s | hawk |
| 13819s | um i think his prowess is definitely |
| 13821s | he's more known you know for his just |
| 13823s | you know his diva his sigma as well in |
| 13825s | time but like |
| 13826s | looks pretty natural for him as well |
| 13827s | he's looking great as a you know |
| 13828s | previous flex tank in overwatch one |
| 13831s | [Music] |
| 13833s | yeah uh yeah i think all the |
| 13836s | flex tank players in the past |
| 13838s | uh they're all capable of playing zarya |
| 13840s | and i think especially now that |
| 13842s | zarya's changed with this two bubble |
| 13845s | setup and like way i feel like way |
| 13846s | tankier uh it's probably even a little |
| 13848s | bit easier to pick but the cassidy pick |
| 13850s | was interesting in that it really |
| 13851s | punishes her uh within cassidy's like |
| 13853s | optimal range and you saw that like a |
| 13855s | lot of bubbles from hawker getting |
| 13856s | forced at the end of the round but you |
| 13857s | don't dare do it here that's a beautiful |
| 13859s | sleep but following up on that one it's |
| 13860s | gonna be |
| 13862s | yeah especially now though and i guess |
| 13863s | you force the bubble out but |
| 13865s | it doesn't matter sir majed the poke |
| 13868s | they blocked that bubble so quickly nero |
| 13870s | lucky to get away with his life there |
| 13871s | but so much he doesn't have he doesn't |
| 13873s | have a beat on someone right now it |
| 13874s | doesn't matter this guy is filthy |
| 13881s | nothing happened in there |
| 13883s | for the atlanta reigns so |
| 13887s | it's about a minute off the clock in |
| 13888s | terms of their time nobody close to |
| 13891s | really anything at this moment maybe |
| 13893s | you're building up towards this uh |
| 13895s | nano of ultraviolet uh you can use that |
| 13898s | on the nero but still it's gonna be |
| 13900s | nero's gonna have to close the gap right |
| 13902s | like a tp you get boobs the you know the |
| 13904s | nano kind of goes for not |
| 13907s | pork is really charged right now he's |
| 13909s | maintained that from that previous fight |
| 13910s | so he sat front center on the point here |
| 13912s | daring people to challenge only one tick |
| 13914s | remember that's all the atlanta right |
| 13915s | needs so this is dicey already someone |
| 13917s | how do you keep that winston topped up |
| 13919s | you've got to touch the point as a |
| 13920s | florida mayhem it's checkmate who has to |
| 13922s | hover down but they're going to be |
| 13923s | forced away |
| 13925s | in the atlanta reign show us something |
| 13927s | new |
| 13928s | and it works they're going to even up |
| 13930s | the series here is the mayhem struggle |
| 13931s | to find a way to deconstruct the zarya |
| 13934s | composition yep it's a hawk stands in |
| 13936s | position on the point charged up they |
| 13939s | get someone weak of what happens as soon |
| 13941s | as that they see he's weak they know the |
| 13943s | reaper they send them in and |
| 13945s | that's the cleanup they need |
| 13947s | just how deep is this florida mayhem |
| 13950s | playbook ladies and gentlemen because |
| 13952s | they need to find a way to get out of |
| 13954s | this particular situation do they have |
| 13957s | the goods and the answer to the zarya |
| 13959s | based composition stick around we're |
| 13960s | bound to find out |
| 13968s | [Music] |
| 13978s | [Music] |

| 14192s | do you think you know which team will |
| 14194s | win the kickoff clash prove it submit |
| 14197s | gerard celebrating the team you think |
| 14198s | will be victorious for a chance to be |
| 14200s | featured on the fan art |
| 14203s | gallery |
| 14204s | incredible art there from 17 woo that's |
| 14207s | fantastic yeah oh my god |
| 14210s | i mean i'm a weeb i'm about that |
| 14212s | incredible uh so the sign that we just |
| 14215s | caught the us at the end it was usa |
| 14217s | right no it's more obvious |
| 14220s | in the end god damn it man there there |
| 14222s | he goes uh i'm really glad you clarified |
| 14225s | that matt yeah i got tweeted at me and i |
| 14228s | was like i'm i'm dead that's so funny i |
| 14230s | was like |
| 14231s | yeah i don't know why i thought people |
| 14232s | these people have actually seen the |
| 14233s | movie i don't know why people just bring |
| 14235s | a sign that says us as well |
| 14237s | it doesn't really do anything uh venom |
| 14239s | speaking of marvel movies in for nero |
| 14241s | yeah that's true that's a good point |
| 14243s | uh and then you also have gator coming |
| 14244s | back in |
| 14246s | for atlanta so |
| 14248s | the map pick going over to the florida |
| 14250s | mayhem they decide to take us to |
| 14252s | watchpoint gibraltar so that should tell |
| 14254s | you a little bit why we're seeing some |
| 14256s | of these substitutions a lot of |
| 14257s | verticality on this map you can't really |
| 14259s | play |
| 14260s | uh the zarya based stuff even like |
| 14263s | doomfist like it's very difficult like |
| 14265s | you have to kind of play winston here |
| 14268s | it really adds a bit of extra importance |
| 14270s | to map selection in this series because |
| 14272s | it's pretty clear to see that these two |
| 14274s | teams favor very different styles |
| 14276s | florida looks most at home on that |
| 14278s | winston dive based setup |
| 14280s | and they don't really feel comfortable |
| 14282s | playing against zarya reaper with that |
| 14284s | winston set up |
| 14286s | we may get a map five just because of |
| 14288s | that it really depends if you know if |
| 14290s | the rain loses one which is not |
| 14291s | guaranteed if they choose one that plays |
| 14292s | into more of their style it's a push map |
| 14294s | right so can you do that not so sure |
| 14298s | you might be able to like new queen |
| 14299s | street you can probably play some of |
| 14302s | that |
| 14302s | eventually yeah maybe |
| 14304s | i mean that's gonna be the that's gonna |
| 14306s | be the real tell all sign i think but |
| 14308s | gibraltar is an exciting map it also |
| 14310s | means that you know we know that both of |
| 14313s | these teams |
| 14314s | they're harboring |
| 14315s | known widowmaker players right oh yeah |
| 14318s | uh and this map's a great opportunity to |
| 14320s | bust that out you know we often see that |
| 14322s | on the first point especially and if you |
| 14323s | get rolling as an attacker you ain't |
| 14325s | switching you're clicking heads |
| 14328s | it was the atlanta reign not opting for |
| 14331s | the widowmaker early on in the series |
| 14334s | right with the florida mayhem yeah it |
| 14336s | was on illios right arnelius opting to |
| 14338s | play the widowmaker uh for a little bit |
| 14341s | so |
| 14342s | see here what both team sun do looks |
| 14343s | like the florida mayhem gonna come out |
| 14345s | and play |
| 14346s | the widow |
| 14348s | uh off the rip |
| 14349s | it's uh atlanta rain obviously stole |
| 14351s | some time to decide could use like a tp |
| 14353s | up to the high ground you can play the |
| 14355s | widow i |
| 14357s | i find would it be |
| 14359s | you don't want to say like essential |
| 14360s | here but the sight lines are so long |
| 14363s | it's too long for soldier right now |
| 14365s | especially in the other teams playing it |
| 14367s | and it's also just too long for ash |
| 14368s | you're almost forced into the widow |
| 14370s | matchup just to keep the other team |
| 14371s | honest |
| 14372s | [Music] |
| 14375s | and so will be both sides open with the |
| 14377s | widow venom gonna tp |
| 14380s | just to send gator across and then back |
| 14382s | on that signature tracer pick |
| 14385s | a little bit quieter venom or me i saw |
| 14387s | him in that first map here |
| 14389s | a chance to come alive and make all the |
| 14391s | difference |
| 14393s | at least over the flow of the game right |
| 14394s | playing map number one map number two |
| 14397s | it's not uh |
| 14399s | extended that long |
| 14401s | so see hydra taking a lower angle here i |
| 14404s | mean we don't contact you by surprise if |
| 14405s | you hold that angle first person with |
| 14407s | victoria playing like a more passive we |
| 14409s | don't make a mirror |
| 14411s | you you just want to take safe angles |
| 14413s | here if you're defending because |
| 14415s | there are so many options to attacking |
| 14416s | widows if you get caught by surprise and |
| 14417s | punish them it's on you |
| 14421s | glacial pace early |
| 14424s | kind trying to find an angle in this |
| 14425s | widow but nothing i mean |
| 14427s | all right we finally got a kill |
| 14429s | a great setup i mean yeah the under is a |
| 14431s | big part of that as well ultraviolet |
| 14433s | sets gator up for that kill and he just |
| 14435s | stays a little too long you see the |
| 14436s | bionic came too late in the day and |
| 14439s | hydro i mean ultraviolet had to get out |
| 14441s | of position to go for that bio onto his |
| 14443s | winston and walk straight into the |
| 14444s | crosshairs of hydra yeah we've seen a |
| 14447s | few times with atlanta when they're |
| 14448s | playing this winston-based comp where |
| 14449s | they'll get that first pick but they'll |
| 14451s | end up losing the fight uh we saw that a |
| 14453s | little bit on elios uh this time they |
| 14455s | get that first pick they try and push |
| 14457s | all the way in |
| 14458s | and they're not able to get anything |
| 14460s | else after that so now you're just gonna |
| 14461s | have this battle for high ground i feel |
| 14463s | like it's just going to be they're |
| 14464s | jostling for a position |
| 14468s | going to buy out here this will slow him |
| 14470s | up |
| 14472s | let's not know the bring as well through |
| 14473s | the atlanta reign and oh the counter |
| 14475s | winner duel by hydro |
| 14477s | plucky rookie oh my venom was not ready |
| 14480s | for that |
| 14481s | and a gator got slept there so |
| 14484s | not able to do much of anything |
| 14487s | so this will be a nano on to someone |
| 14489s | he'll drop down from the high ground |
| 14491s | there's |
| 14492s | two really anti-climactic fights yeah |
| 14495s | this is definitely developing in the |
| 14496s | direction we kind of expected just based |
| 14498s | on the map pick and how these two teams |
| 14500s | prefer to play i think it's just when |
| 14502s | you bring the widowmakers into the mix |
| 14503s | it just slows the face down so much uh |
| 14507s | especially at this level |
| 14508s | you know you play at home like it |
| 14509s | doesn't really matter um |
| 14511s | but at this level of play with like |
| 14513s | infrasight now like it'll slow things |
| 14515s | down even further |
| 14520s | not fruitful |
| 14522s | he's gonna have to wait now with that |
| 14523s | recall down for another seven seconds |
| 14525s | caesar's that old gator though where do |
| 14527s | they send this winston |
| 14528s | mayhem are just completely disengaging |
| 14530s | someone has to probably get back into |
| 14531s | the fight looks like he wasn't close up |
| 14533s | to his healer but he slept in the back |
| 14534s | line here and checkmate is trying to |
| 14535s | keep this going all on his own |
| 14537s | classy little recall to get out of the |
| 14539s | reach of gator and venom who are just |
| 14540s | sheltering in the bubble for the time |
| 14542s | being that means hydra can't do too much |
| 14544s | but the infrasight is really important |
| 14545s | for someone up here to make sure he |
| 14547s | knows what he's walking into jumps into |
| 14549s | the rally here he's waiting for the mini |
| 14550s | to come back he's going to survive this |
| 14552s | for a little while buying time for hydra |
| 14554s | to get rid of ultraviolet now in a |
| 14556s | longer fight it could go against the |
| 14557s | rain they've lost iran |
| 14559s | yeah it's just can you get players back |
| 14561s | for the florida mayhem as you still have |
| 14563s | the brig on the point guess not that'll |
| 14565s | be checkmate bowing out is atlanta |
| 14568s | they will take checkpoint a but |
| 14571s | took a while to develop |
| 14573s | building up the head of steam spinning |
| 14575s | tyres for a little bit but the reigns |
| 14578s | still have ample time to to make their |
| 14579s | way through the shuttle phase here |
| 14582s | the gator obviously knows he can drop |
| 14583s | down |
| 14584s | harass people on the high ground jump |
| 14586s | back up |
| 14587s | continue to cycle that |
| 14589s | ability he wants to maintain this |
| 14591s | position as long as he can |
| 14595s | kaia i think backed away from a tracer |
| 14597s | there looks like checkmate was harassing |
| 14600s | these widow duels though throughout this |
| 14602s | map are so important |
| 14605s | now your your widow gets the better of |
| 14606s | the other one it's impossible to get |
| 14608s | this high ground opens up the whole map |
| 14609s | for the rest of the team |
| 14611s | sleep on gate it was good but sumandra |
| 14613s | wasn't expecting him to be roused so |
| 14615s | quickly |
| 14616s | and yeah the atlanta reigns start their |
| 14617s | fight really well it's a venom pulse |
| 14618s | bomb that opens up someone was removed |
| 14621s | from the equation really early |
| 14624s | two minutes 20 you're gonna get past the |
| 14626s | shuttle here |
| 14627s | the forward lane of rain you're gonna |
| 14629s | get high out high ground control for the |
| 14631s | widowmakers so really good position here |
| 14634s | to take this second checkpoint oh sir |
| 14635s | magento the big grenade though |
| 14638s | oh gee didn't know what hit him venom's |
| 14640s | able to try it off at the very least but |
| 14641s | kai has already a good position so |
| 14644s | anybody trying to move out into the open |
| 14645s | here is going to walk into his sights |
| 14647s | and kai finds both dps |
| 14649s | that's the scary part about dealing with |
| 14651s | attacking widows that have position one |
| 14653s | more second kai will be toast but the |
| 14655s | card is sailing home and someone can |
| 14657s | only look on him dismayed |
| 14659s | that's two checkpoints for the right |
| 14661s | florida makes it interesting towards the |
| 14663s | end but |
| 14664s | uh interesting not good enough to result |
| 14666s | in a fight win |
| 14668s | so come into this next fight if you're |
| 14670s | atlanta three minutes on the clock |
| 14672s | setting a pretty good time here on |
| 14673s | gibraltar because this is the florida |
| 14675s | mayhem map pick and look at this i mean |
| 14677s | you're going to have uh infrasight |
| 14679s | you're going to have your pulse bomb and |
| 14681s | they've given up on the widowmaker |
| 14683s | selection they go to soldier 76ers |
| 14684s | towards the end where you can get kai |
| 14687s | set up like you get a fight winning you |
| 14688s | get kai set up uh oh |
| 14690s | it is going to be just like that the |
| 14692s | rest of the game yeah he's starting to |
| 14694s | pick up speed and how the heck is hydra |
| 14696s | supposed to challenge this beautiful |
| 14698s | shot his checkmate is mid-flight |
| 14702s | nasty hits on the tracer and the man |
| 14704s | don't miss pressure now from the winston |
| 14706s | juggling him |
| 14707s | not able to pull off a happy moment |
| 14709s | there is someone finds two key kills |
| 14712s | to put the mayhem in a position to |
| 14713s | regroup |
| 14716s | think though you let kai get to that |
| 14718s | position again oh man and you're set up |
| 14721s | a little bit better from atlanta i don't |
| 14723s | know if it's going to go that way for |
| 14724s | florida all right |
| 14726s | he's not going to miss those shots i |
| 14728s | mean look at the one that he hit hydra |
| 14730s | if this is rust someone's putting the |
| 14731s | bed roll up there |
| 14733s | you know he misses the first one he's |
| 14734s | not gonna miss that second one stunning |
| 14736s | stick from venom though as well he's |
| 14737s | been chiming in at some really key |
| 14738s | moments first it was a kill on someone |
| 14740s | now so margin checkmate |
| 14743s | what happened there but he's out of the |
| 14744s | fight for now and the rain are looking |
| 14746s | pretty good man yeah but now you're |
| 14748s | going to get kai set up on the high |
| 14749s | ground gator here at the spawn door |
| 14752s | said land out looking to set a good time |
| 14754s | yeah kai's position is nasty there's |
| 14756s | nothing that mayhem can do about that we |
| 14758s | don't make it they just have to hope |
| 14759s | they could dodge or not get hit by the |
| 14761s | shots but he can't |
| 14762s | bank on kai missing that's just |
| 14764s | unreasonable gator takes a ton of damage |
| 14766s | though as he tries to get this home it |
| 14767s | doesn't matter the rain |
| 14769s | advance |
| 14771s | and they look good now on this winston |
| 14772s | cop especially where they can get kai on |
| 14774s | the widow you see at the end of the |
| 14775s | position that sir magenta has to play |
| 14776s | from right he's crouched behind those |
| 14779s | poles there because he knows the widow's |
| 14780s | directly above him if he stands up he's |
| 14783s | an easy target so what he has to just |
| 14784s | sit there |
| 14786s | and avoid the line of sight as i mean |
| 14788s | switching to the soldier feels like an |
| 14790s | admission of defeat there if you're |
| 14792s | hydro it does yeah it's a |
| 14795s | pretty good time for atlanta so i think |
| 14797s | that's going to be a bigger |
| 14799s | confidence booster for the atlanta ring |
| 14801s | to be able to shut up you know what's |
| 14803s | going storm oh yeah yeah we cast the |
| 14806s | harrisburg they were in harrisburg i was |
| 14807s | gonna say last year |
| 14810s | many years ago quite a few years by now |
| 14812s | time just |
| 14813s | just went |
| 14815s | a good time for atlanta a minute 27. |
| 14818s | okay complete the map uh you gain a |
| 14820s | little bit more confidence playing this |
| 14822s | winston based stuff right |
| 14823s | maybe you scare florida a little bit you |
| 14825s | know you pick this map |
| 14827s | i'm gonna do this let's see oh you dirty |
| 14832s | fancy footwork from ultraviolet stepping |
| 14834s | up to the big uh |
| 14836s | sort of honor duel |
| 14839s | well what do you do here if you're the |
| 14841s | mayhem i mean do you try and challenge |
| 14843s | car on the widow do you sort of you have |
| 14844s | to |
| 14847s | i mean |
| 14850s | the sight lines here too long unless |
| 14851s | you're going to play something like a |
| 14853s | tracer genji type of like |
| 14855s | dive and go on not this again mcgravy |
| 14859s | is this your idea yeah yeah you better |
| 14861s | you best be switching not for long |
| 14864s | all right |
| 14866s | why do you do some shenanigans up all |
| 14868s | right so they do they go for the geeky |
| 14869s | tracer tell us about this mellow what's |
| 14870s | the what's the objective here we also |
| 14872s | have the brick for anima |
| 14873s | so you're not going to play the |
| 14874s | widowmaker |
| 14876s | you need |
| 14877s | characters that can close that gap |
| 14879s | otherwise we talked about it soldier 76 |
| 14881s | not effective at those long sight lines |
| 14883s | uh you know ash not effective at that |
| 14886s | long of range either so what are your |
| 14889s | options you're not gonna play like an |
| 14890s | echo and fly through the sky |
| 14892s | reaper doesn't really offer a ton here |
| 14894s | you kind of have to play the tracer |
| 14896s | genji use the mobility of both |
| 14898s | characters to get behind enemy lines |
| 14900s | uh it's just not that easy |
| 14902s | i mean kai finds hydra with a headshot |
| 14904s | there somehow |
| 14906s | someone |
| 14908s | bubbles up though |
| 14909s | gives a pretty safe binding point for |
| 14910s | the rest of the main to play rob i mean |
| 14912s | you're you're dicing with death there |
| 14914s | but someone is fearless runs caught down |
| 14916s | so it also offers uh |
| 14918s | you don't have to really go for the |
| 14920s | widowmaker right uh you have a little |
| 14921s | bit more burst damage uh with this kind |
| 14923s | of a composition right dash through the |
| 14925s | genji from one angle the tracer the |
| 14927s | winston jumps on top of you and just |
| 14929s | blows up a target |
| 14930s | uh where maybe you can just avoid the |
| 14932s | widow battle all together |
| 14934s | it's uh someone you do with a biography |
| 14936s | i love that from gada i don't know if |
| 14938s | you'll get there though someone surely |
| 14939s | you have a tracer though that can get |
| 14941s | that done and yeah |
| 14942s | guy for two and |
| 14944s | animo gets picked off by gate a lovely |
| 14946s | stuff from atlanta if i'm atlanta as |
| 14949s | well i do not i do not overreact didn't |
| 14952s | change off of this |
| 14953s | you you have kai and he's such a |
| 14955s | talented player in these hit scan roles |
| 14958s | uh this is a map and portion of the map |
| 14961s | made for widowmaker |
| 14963s | you you give him the opportunity to like |
| 14965s | win you the game so to speak right where |
| 14967s | he was coming through on offense |
| 14968s | consistently |
| 14970s | if you give you let's say you gave up |
| 14971s | here you have the shuttle to play from |
| 14973s | you're still in a great spot |
| 14975s | nano is on deck for certain |
| 14979s | somehow ultraviolet is just getting yeah |
| 14980s | gets a couple stick shots on a high drop |
| 14984s | i want to point out that it's such a big |
| 14986s | difference here between like a preset |
| 14987s | map pull that we get in regular season |
| 14988s | play for qualifier play and then being |
| 14990s | able to sort of choose your map based on |
| 14992s | sort of win or loss that's what allows |
| 14994s | the obviously the rain you know maybe |
| 14997s | had some trouble with the mayhem |
| 14999s | yeah but they get to choose maps that |
| 15000s | sort of benefit them |
| 15002s | [Music] |
| 15003s | and this is great this is the mayhem's |
| 15005s | map pick and atlanta look comfortable as |
| 15006s | heck |
| 15008s | also there's really no excuse like |
| 15010s | hydraulics getting |
| 15011s | ruined yeah |
| 15013s | [Music] |
| 15014s | if you lose let's say the higher seating |
| 15016s | you lose the series uh |
| 15019s | you lost three maps you selected |
| 15021s | it's really not much you could uh kind |
| 15024s | of go out on that uh so florida you can |
| 15026s | tell how they've just got like |
| 15028s | just nothing in these last few fights i |
| 15030s | mean you have all five ultimates coming |
| 15032s | into this one a minute on the clock |
| 15037s | this could be it i mean you have to dump |
| 15039s | everything in here right but the thing |
| 15041s | is is you dump all these ultimates here |
| 15044s | kai is playing the widow maker it's just |
| 15045s | one shot one kill right uh could ruin |
| 15047s | everything |
| 15049s | gaida gets the nano boost |
| 15052s | for now he's just gonna take his time |
| 15053s | look for vantage sees checkmate would |
| 15056s | love to put out a stick to him but he |
| 15057s | can't now |
| 15059s | get awkward for atlanta maybe hoping to |
| 15061s | get ultraviolet back in the fight but |
| 15062s | that it's the stick that we're looking |
| 15064s | for hydra goes fishy and comes up with a |
| 15066s | big one |
| 15068s | yeah primal for gator he'll keep this |
| 15070s | one going and og is going to be very |
| 15072s | close to a sound barrier also not |
| 15073s | connecting from venom there he doesn't |
| 15074s | find the target he was looking for and |
| 15076s | hydron runs him down now this tracer |
| 15078s | genji composition is starting to build |
| 15080s | up steam |
| 15081s | and the rain get forced back florida get |
| 15083s | an extension yeah gators not gonna make |
| 15086s | it out but this life goes a little bit |
| 15088s | deep there as you hold on three key |
| 15090s | ultimates and right away someone he |
| 15093s | jumps right on top of the shuttle you |
| 15094s | know there's no gator to occupy this |
| 15096s | space you want to deny it from the |
| 15097s | widowmaker |
| 15099s | someone will perch up here for the time |
| 15101s | being sound barrier is available for rog |
| 15103s | keep your eye on that one |
| 15106s | i'm perturbed by the sleep that came in |
| 15109s | and you can see the gators above them on |
| 15110s | top of the shuttle trying to pressure |
| 15111s | them down someone found car with that |
| 15113s | problem it looks like he's not done yet |
| 15115s | he's happy to create this space here |
| 15118s | prevent the rain from getting inside the |
| 15120s | shuttle phase as gator was cut off for |
| 15121s | the rest of his team |
| 15124s | yeah like losing gator |
| 15126s | light there on point a is really back |
| 15129s | breaking there is you have kai switching |
| 15131s | over to soldier trying to come back and |
| 15133s | make a play |
| 15134s | because you've lost complete high ground |
| 15136s | control here |
| 15137s | sound barrier it's going to come out |
| 15138s | here from ot in the blade from checkmate |
| 15140s | that sound barry is going to be gone in |
| 15142s | just a moment this genji could be |
| 15143s | punishing he's looking for the honor but |
| 15144s | the pulse bomb found them first hydron |
| 15147s | descends upon the back line |
| 15150s | and the may have continued to find extra |
| 15152s | bursts of momentum another time bank |
| 15154s | extension yeah three minutes and three |
| 15156s | so i won't even panic if you're the |
| 15158s | atlanta reign you never got an |
| 15160s | opportunity to pretty much defend that |
| 15162s | because you were never able to get |
| 15163s | shuttle control you're never able to get |
| 15165s | high ground uh not able to set your |
| 15167s | widowmaker up in that position kai will |
| 15169s | go back to widow as now you can control |
| 15172s | on this high ground |
| 15174s | with hydra on the soldier 76 you have |
| 15176s | one less element to threaten the widow |
| 15178s | that's entrenched here defensively |
| 15180s | beautiful pulse |
| 15181s | but nothing from it there venom could |
| 15183s | have sworn |
| 15184s | he had to stick |
| 15185s | so here's the die this is the attempt |
| 15187s | for the mayhem to unseat kai to pressure |
| 15189s | him down but he drops down and backs up |
| 15191s | at least some space is created here is |
| 15192s | the car will |
| 15194s | proceed |
| 15195s | it makes it hard to get around this |
| 15197s | corner right because uh if someone goes |
| 15199s | and dies kai he'll grapple up top |
| 15202s | if he puts a bubble down low like you |
| 15204s | can get up top and you have it yeah you |
| 15206s | have the advantage of the site over it |
| 15208s | nano gated here who's he looking for |
| 15210s | whip shots going to keep him in faith i |
| 15211s | don't know even fancies a little bit of |
| 15213s | action himself |
| 15214s | in he goes dana can't do too much to try |
| 15216s | and hold ground if he can but even that |
| 15218s | seems to be hard as the card continues |
| 15220s | to pressure checkmate over the high |
| 15222s | ground as a genji now going to force the |
| 15224s | primal out of gator but venom's going to |
| 15225s | go down hydro is able to find it with |
| 15226s | the helix rocket kai chimes in |
| 15228s | checkmate's life is cut short but that |
| 15231s | card's getting awful close in the up |
| 15232s | hydra knows his legs are the only thing |
| 15234s | that could have saved him |
| 15235s | yes you're gonna have someone get a |
| 15237s | primal rage and he's gonna pop it he's |
| 15238s | gonna take out og as florida wants to |
| 15241s | try and keep pushing this under pressure |
| 15243s | bionic goodnight connection it's so much |
| 15245s | it takes the duel |
| 15247s | ultraviolet's going to be shut inside |
| 15249s | the spawn here and gator tries to throw |
| 15250s | down a bubble do somewhere to go right |
| 15252s | now |
| 15253s | florida are in position they're not |
| 15254s | giving up right now |
| 15256s | they can hold at least from here and |
| 15258s | maybe bait something |
| 15260s | and yeah the rain realized okay we don't |
| 15262s | want to walk into anything ourselves no |
| 15264s | and they gotta wait for service to get |
| 15265s | back in the mix he's gonna get very |
| 15267s | close to a nano and a few options visor |
| 15270s | here you're gonna have a blade very |
| 15272s | shortly |
| 15273s | can venom ruin all that with a |
| 15275s | beautifully placed pulse bomb though we |
| 15277s | saw from proper earlier |
| 15279s | that might be the wind condition here |
| 15282s | another nano available for ultraviolet |
| 15287s | okay well those legs get you out of |
| 15289s | trouble there behind pulse bomb gotta be |
| 15291s | dropped well behind him he goes gated |
| 15293s | with the the nano boost here in the body |
| 15295s | coming out of the back line ultraviolet |
| 15296s | you're in deep trouble checkmate has the |
| 15298s | blade hydra from the high ground at the |
| 15300s | perfect position to go for this tactical |
| 15302s | visor og shield is cracking crumbling |
| 15305s | but venom and gate are able to find two |
| 15307s | apiece |
| 15308s | the huge clutch there from gator and |
| 15311s | venom |
| 15313s | you use the rally you get on it and |
| 15315s | florida dumped it all in there |
| 15317s | nothing here at the end maybe you'll |
| 15320s | have the rally here but you also have to |
| 15322s | get the break in position because the |
| 15324s | widow's set up on the high ground |
| 15326s | domain who got forced to play inside |
| 15328s | those close corridors |
| 15330s | right with the rain one of them |
| 15332s | kai needs to be dealt with here he could |
| 15335s | end |
| 15335s | this round |
| 15338s | he does give up that higher ground here |
| 15339s | neither team has a lot to work with |
| 15340s | animo has a rally soon |
| 15344s | high planks are very obscure angles here |
| 15348s | that's the rally man i think it's just |
| 15350s | the threat that kai poses right now |
| 15352s | right |
| 15353s | she had to sleep under someone on the |
| 15354s | high ground |
| 15355s | not gonna be able to capitalize on that |
| 15357s | but a headshot under checkmate can't ask |
| 15359s | for much more than that kai opens up the |
| 15361s | account for the reign in this fight and |
| 15363s | someone what does he do looking for the |
| 15364s | widow perhaps he overshoots it guy's |
| 15367s | able to get back in the sport and stay |
| 15368s | alive and gator wants to pressure down |
| 15369s | and sleep down towards someone and kai |
| 15372s | he's popping it off that's |
| 15374s | [Applause] |
| 15385s | like i said |
| 15387s | just just ride with it give him the |
| 15389s | opportunity to win the game right he |
| 15390s | does it on offense for them comes up |
| 15392s | huge with some big picks ultraviolet |
| 15394s | with the kai diff in the chat |
| 15396s | and you saw it in that second half |
| 15397s | florida did not want to mess with that |
| 15399s | widow v with our matchup |
| 15403s | they wanted to mirror winston |
| 15405s | compositions but |
| 15407s | because they forgot about kai |
| 15409s | and that widow battle that the mayhem |
| 15411s | could not win |
| 15413s | into the danger zone now if you're a |
| 15414s | mayhem fan they get another map pick you |
| 15417s | better hope it's a good one or they're |
| 15419s | going to get kicked out of the series |
| 15431s | [Music] |

| 15677s | two shots dead on the ground we're in |
| 15679s | the same pull up three rounds bro you |
| 15682s | done we let a rain head pop so look out |
| 15685s | when we in the zone don't play around i |
| 15687s | got strapped puts your back tell you now |
| 15689s | we laying it down yeah |
| 15693s | i bring the doors gang out look |
| 15695s | don't wanna fade and drop out got no |
| 15697s | clout think smart this crucial crucial |
| 15699s | we ain't no average usual no |
| 15702s | we let rain ain't a savage |
| 15704s | [Music] |
| 15717s | in a bid to keep the game in their |
| 15719s | comfort zone the florida mayhem select |
| 15721s | gibraltar for our third map in this |
| 15723s | series but they didn't account for how |
| 15726s | ferocious kai would be on the widowmaker |
| 15729s | on land and atlanta right snap up |
| 15731s | another map now the mayhem they better |
| 15734s | have something good up the sleeve yeah |
| 15736s | they thought it was mostly |
| 15738s | force the rain to play some |
| 15740s | winston-based stuff some like aggressive |
| 15742s | dive |
| 15742s | probably overlook the fact that you know |
| 15744s | you're going up against kai on the |
| 15746s | widowmaker and |
| 15747s | all it takes is a few headshots for him |
| 15749s | to get hot and she hits different on |
| 15750s | land as well yeah and just dominating |
| 15754s | as we go to push uh |
| 15756s | like i expected in the first series like |
| 15758s | i talked about i expect most teams to |
| 15760s | select new queen street uh and we're |
| 15762s | gonna have that selected here |
| 15763s | by the florida mayhem uh trying to keep |
| 15766s | themselves alive in the series and this |
| 15769s | allows uh the atlanta rain to go back to |
| 15772s | some of the other stuff they were |
| 15772s | talking about uh we've seen atlanta rain |
| 15775s | run some uh |
| 15777s | doomfist comes here maybe we see them |
| 15778s | run the zarya again as they do have subs |
| 15781s | bringing back in that hawk and nero |
| 15783s | lineup |
| 15787s | definitely a |
| 15789s | another pivot here from the atlanta |
| 15790s | reign and look it's the kind of map |
| 15792s | where you think okay look maybe the |
| 15793s | doomfist feels pretty good here we've |
| 15795s | seen a lot of teams that have actually |
| 15796s | started playing more doomfist on their |
| 15798s | map like |
| 15798s | gladiators for example see if we're |
| 15800s | going to take the doom |
| 15801s | on that particular map yeah so you don't |
| 15803s | have to sort of make as precipitous a |
| 15805s | climb |
| 15806s | on new queen street as you do on a map |
| 15808s | like coliseum still a bit of a high |
| 15810s | ground to work with most often though |
| 15812s | it's really about the flanks than that |
| 15813s | sort of high ground advantage |
| 15815s | see nero there taking his seat once more |
| 15818s | and maybe hey that zaya comes out of the |
| 15820s | mix as well |
| 15822s | see him get to sort of continue to work |
| 15823s | the reaper play nero gives you the |
| 15825s | flexibility of if you want to play the |
| 15826s | doomfist with the tracer you can if you |
| 15828s | want to play zarya with the reaper he |
| 15830s | literally played pharah on this map plus |
| 15832s | yeah as well against uh that reinhardt |
| 15834s | set up they faced hawk comes back in for |
| 15837s | gator and tanken we're really seeing a |
| 15839s | lot of interchangeability between uh you |
| 15841s | know dps and and tank players on this |
| 15843s | team it gives atlanta rain a bit of |
| 15844s | depth something that maybe florida has |
| 15847s | chosen not to try and display and i |
| 15849s | think maybe they might be getting caught |
| 15850s | off guard here by their sort of reliance |
| 15852s | and desire to stick to that one |
| 15854s | composition they do have xc on the |
| 15855s | roster right i just don't he's not here |
| 15857s | quite yet yeah so |
| 15859s | i'll you know put it out there like you |
| 15860s | know i don't think we sort of see hydra |
| 15862s | come in we expect him to dominate kai he |
| 15864s | has some good moments there but over |
| 15866s | like a longer sample size a longer |
| 15867s | series it's really hard for him to keep |
| 15869s | up with the consistent output of someone |
| 15870s | who's been at league level for a long |
| 15872s | time and his fame specifically for uh |
| 15875s | his sort of long range hit scan on the |
| 15877s | 76 i think you're there right um |
| 15880s | in terms of |
| 15882s | uh like the match-up between kai and |
| 15884s | hydra and i think like you and match i |
| 15885s | think the widowmaker is the one where |
| 15886s | you see the big difference |
| 15889s | maybe a little bit hard as well for that |
| 15890s | individual uh prowess to shine on the |
| 15893s | soldier by comparison right just because |
| 15894s | a lot of the damage you put out is |
| 15896s | designed to be consistent soldiers |
| 15898s | really designed to pressure the enemy's |
| 15899s | healers into sort of you know keeping |
| 15901s | their attention away from certain other |
| 15902s | targets right allow your tracing to get |
| 15904s | in and sort of punish that so a little |
| 15906s | bit easy to be flashy show flare on |
| 15908s | widow but when it comes to playing that |
| 15909s | 76 you really need consistent output of |
| 15912s | the course of the round if you go off |
| 15913s | the boil your team is just going to get |
| 15915s | destroyed your healers won't be able to |
| 15917s | keep up |
| 15918s | and i we talked a bit about it like i |
| 15920s | was not worried about atlanta coming |
| 15921s | into this in terms of like pressure on |
| 15923s | land playing in front of the crowd yeah |
| 15925s | they feed off it florida i think there |
| 15927s | is some pressure uh and to drop two maps |
| 15930s | in a row |
| 15932s | and |
| 15932s | the on the brink of being dropped into |
| 15935s | the loser bracket you're the higher seed |
| 15936s | right and |
| 15937s | uh i feel like there's a lot of pressure |
| 15939s | going in this map the beginning of this |
| 15941s | map is gonna be huge like if atlanta |
| 15943s | wins like the fights like early i could |
| 15945s | totally see it snowballing in atlanta's |
| 15947s | favor i mean |
| 15949s | you rely on animo's seniority his |
| 15951s | experience here |
| 15953s | god he's been on some of the |
| 15955s | restoring teams in the overwatch league |
| 15957s | history |
| 15959s | the new york teams didn't have the best |
| 15960s | of runs in the playoffs but |
| 15963s | still it's been a while since they've |
| 15965s | been yeah that threat |
| 15967s | but here we go i mean |
| 15970s | the main have to try and force a map |
| 15972s | five scenario here |
| 15973s | it's gonna have to go all the way if |
| 15975s | it's gonna go their way |
| 15978s | i think it wouldn't be too shocked to |
| 15979s | see a cop that sort of looks like this i |
| 15980s | wonder about the hanzo i guess |
| 15982s | there's some value to be had especially |
| 15984s | when it comes to those ultimate combos |
| 15986s | you're gonna see the reaper yeah you're |
| 15987s | gonna see the reaper uh so |
| 15990s | do you play yeah you'll play the 76 |
| 15993s | [Music] |
| 15994s | how now brown cow |
| 15997s | okay |
| 15998s | um |
| 15999s | interesting |
| 16000s | it gives like a i mean hanzo's like |
| 16003s | burst damage right it's really strong |
| 16004s | maybe you feel like |
| 16006s | uh with the bubbles you can take |
| 16007s | advantage like someone i mean he gets |
| 16009s | just burned down uh i mean |
| 16012s | he's probably shocked there's a hanzo on |
| 16013s | the other side uh |
| 16016s | you can play like off angles right with |
| 16018s | the 76 |
| 16020s | i like set up like crossfire type |
| 16021s | scenarios it's interesting look |
| 16023s | [Music] |
| 16024s | oh oh |
| 16026s | my |
| 16029s | this is what's great about like these |
| 16030s | type of events right is like teams pull |
| 16032s | out like there's stuff you save in these |
| 16034s | online matches that you don't need to |
| 16036s | use to beat some teams or |
| 16039s | and maybe there's a little bit of a |
| 16040s | pogba pick maybe they want to try |
| 16041s | something a bit different |
| 16043s | also for push |
| 16045s | it gives you like a uh |
| 16048s | a combination of ultimates that's like |
| 16050s | almost like a guaranteed fight win of |
| 16052s | like |
| 16052s | dragon right |
| 16054s | um |
| 16056s | there's not many ultimates i can do that |
| 16058s | and now |
| 16059s | you're not resilient against |
| 16061s | pressure i think yeah that's that's kind |
| 16062s | of the problem |
| 16064s | uh beautiful little pick there from nero |
| 16066s | but it's crazy that it takes more than |
| 16067s | killing an honor to win the fight there |
| 16070s | so back to the drawing board |
| 16074s | this is the safer pick like if you're |
| 16076s | trying to punish the tanks and whatnot |
| 16077s | safer than the hanzo |
| 16079s | reaper with his lifesteal the ability to |
| 16081s | bubble gain the zarya charge the mayhem |
| 16084s | just straight up did not look |
| 16085s | comfortable playing against three |
| 16086s | position on king's row |
| 16088s | they still end up playing right and look |
| 16090s | at the positioning here like nero is |
| 16091s | playing directly in front of hawk like |
| 16095s | he is effectively like tanking in this |
| 16096s | type of scenario until hawk gets the |
| 16098s | necessary charges |
| 16101s | yes |
| 16103s | the answer is yes hawks happen to stave |
| 16105s | off that pulse bomb but that consistent |
| 16107s | damage being put down by hydra |
| 16108s | eventually breaks the dam and this |
| 16110s | daniel visa is going to be scary for |
| 16112s | hawk it's nano bio and what |
| 16117s | so i feel like it falls apart a little |
| 16118s | bit |
| 16120s | if you do not run down the other team |
| 16122s | and like force those fights and allow |
| 16124s | the 76 to just poke at range |
| 16127s | uh zarya runs out of bubbles the reaper |
| 16130s | doesn't have the wraith and then you're |
| 16131s | just going to stand in there there's not |
| 16132s | really a lot of cover |
| 16134s | and that's when you see it kind of fall |
| 16136s | apart |
| 16137s | the next fight up though |
| 16139s | graviton surge here for the atlanta |
| 16141s | right |
| 16142s | should be able to stop this before that |
| 16144s | first checkpoint |
| 16146s | yeah they do we don't see a forward |
| 16148s | spawn achieved here for the florida |
| 16150s | mayhem |
| 16151s | yeah again there's a sound barrier here |
| 16153s | will help with the graph but it won't be |
| 16155s | enough on its own |
| 16157s | really depends what hawk can sort of |
| 16158s | connect with here the mayhem are playing |
| 16160s | very split |
| 16163s | and whole can't really unseat them from |
| 16164s | that high ground position so they |
| 16165s | continue to be a nuisance from that oh i |
| 16168s | love it okay |
| 16170s | sound barry though was in response |
| 16172s | not |
| 16174s | gets brought out later in the fight |
| 16177s | takes a big hit from hydrogen i think |
| 16178s | there is forced to |
| 16180s | break line of sight play a little bit |
| 16181s | more cagey here as i love the confidence |
| 16183s | from hydro moving in |
| 16185s | it's gonna pay off |
| 16187s | and like i mentioned i think in the |
| 16188s | soldier 76 battle it's pretty been |
| 16190s | pretty even thus far i think hydra has |
| 16192s | definitely played quite well on the 76 |
| 16194s | it's just been on that widowmaker which |
| 16196s | is not impactful on all maps as |
| 16199s | check paint goes it touches the |
| 16201s | robot a little bit stalls out progress |
| 16203s | it'll be a death blossom on deck here |
| 16206s | for nero can he get in a sneaky position |
| 16208s | get this one on wide flank here from kai |
| 16214s | checkmate really just trying to do some |
| 16215s | scour that's perfect the bubble blow |
| 16217s | from hawk is gonna save the life of |
| 16219s | ultraviolet it won't be one to protect |
| 16221s | him from the helix rocket direct hit |
| 16222s | from hydra though |
| 16224s | yes it's a huge bubble though able to |
| 16226s | keep him alive for a little bit longer |
| 16228s | than probably expected oh gee though |
| 16230s | takes out checkmate so a bit of a trade |
| 16232s | ah you lose zarya oh i mean that is a |
| 16236s | it's a good source of damage bubble |
| 16238s | survivability you're not going to be |
| 16239s | able to fight out of that yeah soldier |
| 16241s | can throw a biotic field if you need a |
| 16242s | bit of healing in a pinch while you wait |
| 16244s | for your honor to return it's definitely |
| 16246s | a trade up for the mayhem |
| 16248s | they have that early lead here right |
| 16249s | we're i mean we're over halfway in this |
| 16251s | map the rain really need to break |
| 16252s | through in consecutive engagements now i |
| 16255s | was to say early lead we're you know |
| 16257s | more than halfway through yeah what |
| 16259s | about halfway that's right |
| 16262s | how do you get value out of this death |
| 16264s | blossom like it's got to be on some type |
| 16265s | of flank like nero is so low |
| 16268s | it's a wrap around here from the florida |
| 16270s | mayhem the florida game it's kind of |
| 16271s | taking the atlanta reigns side of the |
| 16273s | map |
| 16274s | they've landed around clearly not really |
| 16275s | ready for this nero tp's in someone has |
| 16277s | to jump out |
| 16279s | oh the death blossom rider hydra the |
| 16280s | party grenade came in though from sir |
| 16282s | margin |
| 16283s | and it keeps hydra alive he can tack |
| 16285s | fighter into the reaper |
| 16287s | so nero ends up coming up with nothing |
| 16289s | this is very bad for atlanta |
| 16292s | but it's bad but you're not gonna be |
| 16294s | able to get that much progress off of |
| 16296s | this right you just have the tracer 76 |
| 16299s | and lucio available |
| 16301s | so maybe you get to this point maybe a |
| 16303s | little bit further and then checkmate |
| 16304s | it'll have to back up you see how far |
| 16306s | the rest of the team is spawning you're |
| 16307s | gonna have to give this up |
| 16310s | still 57 points |
| 16312s | one eight |
| 16314s | you land around two and a half minutes |
| 16316s | here |
| 16317s | to beat that |
| 16319s | again eyes on that checkmate pulse bomb |
| 16321s | here and that would be uh |
| 16323s | i mean that would be yeah basically the |
| 16324s | belt's holding for atlanta if they get |
| 16326s | cut down by that |
| 16328s | nero spotted out there on top of the |
| 16330s | shuttle |
| 16332s | coming up and being ultimates for |
| 16333s | atlanta they get both support ultimates |
| 16335s | online at the same time this is their |
| 16336s | moment |
| 16338s | animal is a fair way away from his here |
| 16340s | the question is when does the trigger |
| 16341s | get pulled |
| 16343s | oh no yeah it's going to be sound |
| 16345s | barriers they're just poking down the |
| 16346s | atlanta right at range they use that |
| 16349s | sound barrier aggressively they take out |
| 16351s | someone then they'll get it moving yeah |
| 16353s | someone tries to dive in there |
| 16355s | immediately responsive oh gee then all |
| 16357s | right someone realizes he does not want |
| 16359s | to be there at all |
| 16363s | just the sound barrier drawn out of |
| 16364s | atlanta there still uh some really |
| 16366s | impactful ultimates and that's what i |
| 16368s | need to do ration these key abilities |
| 16369s | here over the next two fights yeah i |
| 16371s | mean this is definitely not over right |
| 16372s | nano |
| 16373s | grav tack visor all available for the |
| 16376s | atlanta reign and they're not that far |
| 16378s | behind what another fight you know you |
| 16381s | see where this next fight's going to |
| 16382s | take place florida doesn't want to give |
| 16384s | up that high ground another fight and |
| 16385s | you're you're in the lead |
| 16388s | 90 seconds left of the round here |
| 16390s | someone getting topped up it's going to |
| 16391s | be attack fighting here's someone in a |
| 16392s | perfect position though to use this |
| 16394s | primal to interrupt kaido rotates away |
| 16397s | from the winston now towards him |
| 16400s | two with that nano visor in here now |
| 16402s | you're in good shape for atlanta |
| 16403s | you're in position to equalize |
| 16406s | well see this is so dangerous because if |
| 16408s | atlanta takes the lead here right |
| 16410s | florida is going to have to dump some of |
| 16412s | these ultimates in and atlanta is not |
| 16413s | really pressed to go all out atlanta |
| 16416s | will have a grab here it's going to be a |
| 16417s | big investment early on graviton surge i |
| 16419s | don't even with the sound barrier on him |
| 16421s | is going to be brought down he went for |
| 16422s | the tactical visor as well you talk |
| 16424s | about the may have began to win this |
| 16425s | fight that might not even be a |
| 16426s | possibility here hawk backs up here with |
| 16429s | a friendly bio 100 charge he's ready to |
| 16431s | rumble |
| 16432s | i don't have nero to work with right now |
| 16435s | but it looks like the reigns still have |
| 16436s | enough confidence to pressure someone |
| 16437s | gonna dig deeper here's that primal rage |
| 16439s | as ultimately getting drawn out as you |
| 16441s | suspected with 30 seconds left in the |
| 16443s | round the mayhem need to schlep over to |
| 16445s | the other side of the map and what's |
| 16447s | wild here |
| 16449s | now call it out |
| 16450s | we are tied |
| 16451s | in terms of distance pushed |
| 16454s | uh so the bot will go all the way back |
| 16456s | to the other side of the map |
| 16458s | uh |
| 16459s | as it is yeah what do you know about |
| 16460s | this situation is very rare you can't |
| 16463s | tie this though |
| 16465s | oh dear |
| 16467s | all right front spawn there for the rain |
| 16469s | now |
| 16470s | denied |
| 16473s | both teams 57.18 meters |
| 16476s | gonna put us in an overtime scenario |
| 16478s | and because they're tied i believe it |
| 16480s | will stay in ot as long as |
| 16483s | uh either team has somebody on the off |
| 16485s | the bar that's big dead blossom cut |
| 16487s | short by nero the pulse bomb stick from |
| 16489s | checkmate was perfect still the mama |
| 16491s | brought someone here and of course |
| 16493s | thinking okay i need to keep this |
| 16494s | pushing right over time pretty critical |
| 16496s | moment but checkmate is causing all |
| 16497s | sorts of problems here |
| 16500s | 2v2 in this scenario someone's going to |
| 16502s | be switching but the rain are in |
| 16503s | position here |
| 16504s | just pushing a little bit further and |
| 16506s | now it's the bottom he's gonna i wonder |
| 16509s | how much experience the players have in |
| 16511s | this scenario where it's tied as uh just |
| 16514s | a little bit longer |
| 16515s | so close |
| 16517s | the bot |
| 16518s | just have to push past this checkpoint |
| 16519s | someone's gonna get brought down here |
| 16521s | this has gone |
| 16524s | [Applause] |
| 16532s | we'll have to get a clarification it |
| 16534s | does say that |
| 16537s | florida may have |
| 16538s | won that so |
| 16540s | wait |
| 16541s | [Applause] |
| 16542s | hold before |
| 16544s | everybody in the lobby is so confusing |
| 16547s | for who won |
| 16548s | they're all |
| 16550s | [Applause] |
| 16560s | [Applause] |
| 16563s | there is a visual bug on the end card |
| 16565s | archer |
| 16566s | that uh that will cause it to come up as |
| 16568s | the mayhem winning right because the the |
| 16570s | atlanta arena were on the bot they had |
| 16572s | gotten the kills look at their opening |
| 16574s | try to figure it out |
| 16577s | that is confirmed an atlanta reign map |
| 16579s | and match win ladies and gentlemen |
| 16582s | again the bot only had to move a |
| 16583s | fraction of a fraction of a meter in |
| 16585s | that overtime phase to give it to them |
| 16588s | they're about to be informed that isn't |
| 16590s | it nice everybody |
| 16596s | oh my goodness we are in uncharted |
| 16599s | territory ladies and gentlemen |
| 16601s | but the scoreboard sets it all |
| 16604s | three to one is a final series score |
| 16607s | the only thing that would have been |
| 16608s | better is if it popped up boston |
| 16609s | uprising |
| 16611s | but no i mean that's a crazy scenario |
| 16613s | and |
| 16614s | i was wondering like if the players even |
| 16616s | knew kind of how that works uh in that |
| 16619s | type of just like at that point if like |
| 16622s | both teams would have gotten off of the |
| 16623s | the bot right and nobody's contesting it |
| 16625s | it would have actually been a draw but |
| 16626s | the same amount of time uh but as long |
| 16628s | as one team is on it it'll keep going |
| 16631s | kind of like any other game mode yeah |
| 16633s | and it's like a lot to do with the fact |
| 16634s | that the bot stops for a pretty long |
| 16636s | period of time at that checkpoint right |
| 16637s | the butt scratch we call it yep and then |
| 16639s | all it takes is for him to kind of go |
| 16641s | back into that |
| 16642s | animation where it looks like he's going |
| 16644s | to go forward and they were 1.01 |
| 16649s | uh away yes which that's what you see |
| 16651s | the smallest the smallest sort of |
| 16652s | division possible and again the mayhem |
| 16654s | sort of couldn't see it because they got |
| 16656s | team wiped i think they thought for a |
| 16658s | moment that atlanta had just |
| 16659s | inexplicably walked off of the bomb but |
| 16661s | that's not the case so away we come here |
| 16664s | like yeah we won right yeah yeah we you |
| 16666s | can flip a coin right now if you like we |
| 16667s | got a five maps but look |
| 16669s | great great recovery from atlanta after |
| 16672s | a really shaky end to the kickoff clash |
| 16674s | and this is the team that i mean their |
| 16676s | future pretty uncertain they've already |
| 16678s | proven their grit and determination many |
| 16680s | many times in the past but showing now |
| 16682s | they have that zaya uh composition |
| 16684s | that's a big step forward for them here |
| 16686s | what a wild first two series uh yeah we |
| 16690s | have the the justice scope 2-0 they get |
| 16692s | reverse swept |
| 16693s | we have uh |
| 16694s | the the number seven seeded lane of rain |
| 16697s | right uh they take out the florida |
| 16699s | mayhem in a in a push game that goes to |
| 16701s | ot like as as long as we have ever seen |
| 16704s | another teeth completely tied in terms |
| 16706s | of distance uh a while two games |
| 16710s | thrown in there as well i mean |
| 16712s | we've had it all already |
| 16714s | again the florida my email their their |
| 16716s | journey is far from done here you gotta |
| 16717s | understand being foreseed i mean they |
| 16719s | they don't virtually they don't actually |
| 16721s | get to choose even though they do |
| 16722s | technically do there's no other teams |
| 16723s | left to choose no one atlanta our |
| 16725s | seventh |
| 16726s | no one wanted to choose them |
| 16728s | yeah i mean their their roster is |
| 16730s | extremely talented they looked |
| 16731s | phenomenal at the beginning of the |
| 16733s | kickoff clash |
| 16735s | and |
| 16736s | i think it was probably hard for teams |
| 16737s | to determine like is this team one |
| 16739s | that's gonna you know slide off a little |
| 16741s | bit and you know maybe be an easy out or |
| 16743s | is it just a run into a tough matchups |
| 16746s | of teams right that they're going up |
| 16747s | against and that results in some losses |
| 16749s | uh where i think you see today they |
| 16751s | definitely have the talent to get it |
| 16752s | done |
| 16754s | and yeah peaking at the right time here |
| 16755s | in the kickoff clash |
| 16757s | really close map and we're seeing |
| 16759s | obviously the mayhem that there's like |
| 16760s | heavy reliance on that winston-based |
| 16762s | composite composition where is reinhardt |
| 16765s | uh in the london spitfire's playbook |
| 16767s | yeah that's about it for uh for the time |
| 16769s | being but again we did see it briefly |
| 16770s | from the mayhem when they were evidently |
| 16772s | struggling on king's row to deal with |
| 16774s | that uh that zaya reaper set up so this |
| 16776s | might be a warning to florida hey |
| 16779s | there's gonna have to be some more |
| 16780s | substrata to your strategies here |
| 16783s | yeah i think florida it's interesting |
| 16785s | his teams will probably look at that |
| 16786s | match and say like can we |
| 16789s | replicate that and do that against them |
| 16791s | and be able to beat them where we |
| 16793s | haven't seen them with a different look |
| 16795s | all right we're gonna head down to the |
| 16797s | stage in just a moment here danny has |
| 16798s | got us an interview lined up with one of |
| 16800s | the uh one of the calmest most measured |
| 16803s | voices in the overwatch league danny |
| 16805s | take it away |
| 16807s | thanks guys yes i am here with the |
| 16810s | person that has the most calmest voice |
| 16813s | but killer instincts kai from atlanta |
| 16816s | reign |
| 16817s | hello i do have to ask before i uh start |
| 16820s | this set up yeah there you go yeah give |
| 16822s | him give him some energy |
| 16823s | there you go |
| 16825s | that ending you guys won but then |
| 16827s | everyone's a little confused if you guys |
| 16829s | actually wonder now what was going |
| 16831s | through your head when that happened |
| 16833s | i don't know like i thought someone c9 |
| 16834s | on a on a team or something i don't know |
| 16837s | but like you know it's a beta so |
| 16841s | hey |
| 16842s | hey but but now we're clear now we're |
| 16844s | clear that atlanta wayne won the match |
| 16847s | and of course i feel like you |
| 16849s | sort of deadlifted you you were going |
| 16851s | crazy on that soldier and the widow why |
| 16854s | are you so good |
| 16855s | that's not really a question but i just |
| 16856s | want to know |
| 16858s | i'll be honest like the first few maps i |
| 16860s | was kind of trolling like i was playing |
| 16862s | i was playing so bad |
| 16864s | but then you know |
| 16866s | busted out the widow took over |
| 16868s | actually that was just easy yeah you |
| 16871s | sure did and also i mean i feel like all |
| 16873s | of atlanta reigned players were really |
| 16875s | good but you know if you go back a |
| 16876s | little bit uh you know you guys had some |
| 16878s | tough matches before this you guys lost |
| 16880s | london you guys also lost to the |
| 16881s | gladiators how were you able to turn |
| 16883s | things around against the florida mayhem |
| 16885s | today um i honestly think they're worse |
| 16889s | than those teams |
| 16890s | but like we just went over the the uh |
| 16893s | the matches and we knew what we needed |
| 16895s | to change just |
| 16897s | basically |
| 16898s | tried harder honestly all right well you |
| 16901s | guys got the dub today and that means |
| 16903s | tomorrow you guys will be facing off |
| 16905s | against the san francisco shock what |
| 16907s | were your opinions did you watch their |
| 16908s | game what were your opinion on the san |
| 16910s | francisco shop |
| 16912s | yeah they're a pretty good team i mean |
| 16913s | like the old all-star players you know |
| 16915s | but like no one's better than me so |
| 16920s | there you go that's the answer that i |
| 16922s | like kai thank you so much that is it |
| 16924s | for the postmatch interview let's head |
| 16925s | back to our casters |
| 16927s | there's something to be said for |
| 16928s | delivery you know when you when you make |
| 16930s | a statement like you know nobody's |
| 16931s | better than me if you can just deliver |
| 16932s | it in that deadpan man i feel like it |
| 16934s | has just some extra impact i mean also |
| 16937s | like |
| 16938s | like i think every player like would |
| 16940s | give like if you were like pulling |
| 16942s | players like like honestly like every |
| 16943s | player would give that answer it's like |
| 16945s | just |
| 16946s | usually everybody's just kind of like oh |
| 16948s | they're really good like we'll see what |
| 16949s | happens defense you should have that |
| 16951s | confidence though when we talk about top |
| 16952s | widows in his defense kai is usually the |
| 16954s | top of that list |
| 16955s | like i think there's like happy an |
| 16956s | answer definitely in that same |
| 16957s | conversation but |
| 16958s | i mean this guy's really been popping up |
| 16960s | he also ladies and gentlemen is your |
| 16962s | player of the match for this series |
| 16964s | against the florida mayhem and i look i |
| 16966s | think it's an important distinction to |
| 16968s | make because |
| 16969s | the mayhem they go gibraltar hey we can |
| 16971s | play winston here we've got them |
| 16973s | they i feel like they definitely didn't |
| 16974s | account for what kai could produce on |
| 16976s | that particular app that's what may have |
| 16977s | put them in a losing position in this |
| 16979s | series but again |
| 16980s | tough to quantify soldier 76's impact in |
| 16983s | some of these maps because it's constant |
| 16984s | it's consistent it's ever present as kai |
| 16986s | was in many of these fights he's so |
| 16988s | consistent on the 76 right uh they're |
| 16991s | just tracking in the aim so good |
| 16993s | i think where the series turns though is |
| 16995s | when he's able to play that widowmaker |
| 16997s | at a high level in gibraltar gibraltar |
| 16999s | is a man pick for the florida mayhem |
| 17001s | they fully expected to take advantage of |
| 17003s | probably the winston-based compositions |
| 17005s | of the atlanta reign |
| 17007s | and kai shut all that down |
| 17008s | real quick uh in and then you go to new |
| 17011s | queen street and that's uh that's kind |
| 17013s | of an even map for all these teams and |
| 17016s | it's really this widowmaker play on |
| 17017s | gibraltar steel on this map that makes |
| 17019s | the difference in the series yeah |
| 17021s | and a lot of the stuff is sort of |
| 17023s | happening as well while there's a |
| 17024s | winston dive going on kai is not only |
| 17027s | you know winning the widow versus widow |
| 17028s | battle but just constantly hydro |
| 17030s | switches to tracing they stopped playing |
| 17031s | it they sort of played genji yeah |
| 17032s | they're genji tracer whatever they could |
| 17034s | it wasn't enough uh really impressive |
| 17037s | stuff here for kai someone who's also |
| 17038s | getting dived in a lot of these fights |
| 17040s | right this is his soldier 76 stats |
| 17042s | very very very impressive performance |
| 17044s | guys known for being particularly |
| 17046s | meticulous aimer that's where like a lot |
| 17048s | of his fame uh sort of came from and |
| 17051s | that seems to continue to be the case |
| 17052s | especially in a game like overwatch 2 |
| 17054s | where that individual impact is going to |
| 17056s | be amplified that much more and with how |
| 17059s | the shark played today like |
| 17061s | you know if it's a shock of the first |
| 17063s | two maps like that's a winnable series |
| 17065s | for atlanta i think that's gonna be a |
| 17066s | pretty good one no doubt about it |
| 17068s | looking forward to seeing those two |
| 17069s | teams go to here we've got more to |
| 17070s | decide here today though a couple of |
| 17071s | texas teams that need to see if they're |
| 17073s | gonna make their way forward on the |
| 17074s | upper or lower brackets so stick around |
| 17075s | for that one everybody this is day one |
| 17077s | of the kickoff clash tournament here |
| 17080s | live from the esports stadium in |

| 17275s | [Music] |
| 17283s | welcome to our game break lots to unpack |
| 17286s | lots to break down |
| 17287s | because we're treated to some absolutely |
| 17290s | fantastic awards so far two series in |
| 17292s | and i'm already emotionally spent we got |
| 17294s | the prints right we did also there's |
| 17296s | that yeah necro we are on top of our |
| 17298s | pred game today |
| 17299s | we got it oh yeah |
| 17302s | ah i mean the fact that all three of us |
| 17305s | picked the atlanta rain i feel like |
| 17307s | we've got some big brain stuff happening |
| 17308s | on the desk right now |
| 17311s | yeah that's why we had to get rid of |
| 17313s | costa and danny because we know |
| 17315s | they get it wrong can't trust them we're |
| 17317s | gonna bring in the big brains that's why |
| 17319s | i had to uh uh bring bring you in necro |
| 17321s | so let's talk about the match we just |
| 17323s | got to see i mean uh obviously it |
| 17326s | started a little rocky for the atlanta |
| 17328s | rain but then they really really started |
| 17330s | to heat up and uh florida mayhem just |
| 17332s | didn't seem to have a right answer for |
| 17334s | what atlanta rain was throwing at them |
| 17336s | yeah yeah absolutely um i mean the thing |
| 17338s | about florida meme is that they are a |
| 17340s | really good um winston team and i think |
| 17342s | we they put it on display throughout the |
| 17344s | entire series to be honest and the only |
| 17346s | also has a channel caters to that they |
| 17348s | came out with a nice widowmaker strategy |
| 17350s | and got used out of that from hydro of |
| 17352s | course but then we got to the closer |
| 17353s | maps when atlanta rain were able to pick |
| 17355s | king's row and play force this zarya |
| 17358s | composition to what they consider is |
| 17360s | their strength currently as they move |
| 17362s | away a bit from the doomfist that's when |
| 17364s | nero gets going on the reaper kai warmed |
| 17366s | up a little bit on the soldier and then |
| 17368s | turned it all on on gibraltar as well |
| 17369s | with the widowmaker of course and this |
| 17371s | is atlanta when they're able to play |
| 17373s | their game i thought it was impressive |
| 17374s | though that a team that perhaps florida |
| 17377s | were trying to throw off their guard you |
| 17379s | know shake things up a little bit by |
| 17380s | going to gibraltar forced gator onto the |
| 17382s | winston kai just came out with like a |
| 17384s | fantastic superstar performance on the |
| 17386s | widowmaker and just made up for that |
| 17389s | perceived flaw of atlanta not being able |
| 17391s | to play the winston comps as good so |
| 17393s | great sign for the atlanta rain here |
| 17394s | necro what did you really see here in |
| 17396s | these final couple of maps here on the |
| 17398s | series |
| 17400s | i feel like the big standout for me was |
| 17402s | just how much kai was able to really |
| 17405s | carry the team it wasn't even just kai |
| 17407s | though either was kai and nero really |
| 17409s | continuing to |
| 17411s | you know build off of the momentum that |
| 17413s | both hawk and gator were able to put |
| 17414s | forth in gibraltar and of course new |
| 17416s | queen street but it's just the whole |
| 17418s | team you know we talk about this a lot |
| 17420s | when getting a chance to watch the |
| 17421s | atlanta rain and how good |
| 17424s | ultraviolet and ogre specifically we |
| 17426s | give a lot of credit to ultraviolet |
| 17428s | because obviously we get a chance to see |
| 17430s | those bionates pop off but og as well |
| 17432s | has just been a particular standout on |
| 17434s | this roster being able to just help keep |
| 17437s | that momentum pushing forward with those |
| 17439s | lucio speed boost and of course just |
| 17440s | keeping the team alive |
| 17444s | absolutely and i just overall i really |
| 17446s | liked what we saw from the advantage of |
| 17447s | rain today i liked the zarya composition |
| 17450s | the way they played around it and they |
| 17451s | really forced mayhem's hand in in my |
| 17453s | picks and map choices to trying to you |
| 17456s | know force those winston comes out alas |
| 17459s | to no avail and the atlanta take the w |
| 17462s | so |
| 17463s | yeah take that chat prince |
| 17468s | i'm sorry they're coming at me every |
| 17469s | time i'm wrong |
| 17471s | don't talk to youtube chad like that |
| 17474s | ah now we we we love each other ciao we |
| 17476s | do we do um now we do have another match |
| 17479s | to say what i'm allowed to glow too okay |
| 17483s | at least we're on the same side now |
| 17484s | right because i think that ears exactly |
| 17487s | yeah we got it yeah there's no no neck |
| 17489s | brush you want to use that but youtube |
| 17491s | chad we're with you guys that's all |
| 17492s | right well we can talk about that uh |
| 17495s | awkward wow then let's talk about why |
| 17498s | you went with the houston outlaws here |
| 17499s | necro what's uh what's the selling point |
| 17502s | other than your map |
| 17505s | okay okay i get it yeah the math is very |
| 17508s | silly and you know i still stand by the |
| 17510s | houston outlaws of course being able to |
| 17512s | take this match um and a lot of that is |
| 17514s | actually off of my faith on of piggy you |
| 17518s | know piggy has been an incredible tank |
| 17520s | player i know we always talk about the |
| 17522s | doomtay the dawn tank and the doomfist |
| 17525s | is very very special and a great |
| 17527s | strategy for the houston outlaws but i |
| 17529s | feel as houston outlaws has started to |
| 17531s | lean more into exploring piggy as a main |
| 17535s | tank for the team it has opened up a |
| 17537s | wider range of possibilities for houston |
| 17540s | outlaws to pull out of their back pocket |
| 17542s | so i kind of expect to see some tricks |
| 17544s | coming out for this match |
| 17548s | all right okay necro wants to see some |
| 17550s | tricks but if you're looking at the |
| 17551s | opposition the gladiators |
| 17553s | what are you looking out for on that |
| 17554s | side |
| 17555s | adaptation quite honestly i think that |
| 17557s | the gladiators are very tactically prone |
| 17559s | team uh strategically as well um one |
| 17562s | might ask like what's the difference |
| 17563s | well um competitionally i'd say that's |
| 17566s | like strategy you know messing around |
| 17567s | with compositions but gladiators have a |
| 17568s | way of knowing their play style of their |
| 17570s | opponent and what they're good at what |
| 17571s | they're bad at and so i'm expecting |
| 17572s | adaptation here from the early |
| 17574s | gladiators this time around houston |
| 17575s | outlaws they might come out playing that |
| 17577s | zarya because as nekker mentioned we've |
| 17579s | seen them play more soya right but this |
| 17580s | is a houston team that can also bring |
| 17582s | out the doomfist |
| 17583s | with dante playing the tank roll of |
| 17585s | course but the gliders they know this |
| 17586s | already they know what lies ahead of |
| 17588s | them they know what's used in outlaws |
| 17589s | that they have two different kind of |
| 17591s | kinds of compositions that they can play |
| 17593s | and they're going to adapt accordingly |
| 17594s | maybe they slow down the pace a little |
| 17596s | bit with reiner and the winston let |
| 17598s | someone like paddy found on the soldier |
| 17599s | get a lot of value probing poking from a |
| 17601s | foreign kepster just play a bit more |
| 17603s | supportive protective kind of role or |
| 17605s | you can step up the tempo as well if |
| 17606s | they're playing the zarya maybe just |
| 17607s | aggressively dive maybe play the |
| 17609s | reinhardt i'm expecting the gliders to |
| 17610s | come out compositionally come out here |
| 17612s | and change the pace of the game and mess |
| 17615s | up the houston applause a bit yeah i |
| 17616s | mean we did show that in our uh in our |
| 17619s | preview already in our pre-show we do |
| 17621s | have a lot of compositional death we do |
| 17623s | have a hearing pool for those players on |
| 17625s | the gladiator squad which make them very |
| 17627s | flexible and therefore very scary to go |
| 17629s | up against now this is a match between |
| 17631s | two star without franchises to use nat |
| 17634s | laws and l.a gladiators and all of that |
| 17636s | is gonna go down right after this break |
| 17637s | so don't go anywhere |
| 17658s | oh |
| 17671s | [Music] |
| 17685s | [Music] |
| 17712s | foreign |
| 17717s | [Music] |

| 17824s | we are back in |
| 17826s | dallas |
| 17827s | esports stadium arlington scots |
| 17830s | it's been a good day already some close |
| 17832s | games in fact earlier on today we've got |
| 17835s | a couple of gigabytes coming up next |
| 17837s | giga bangers yeah the matches so far |
| 17838s | today have been absolutely incredible |
| 17840s | gone to five atlanta rain turning their |
| 17842s | season around already so i'm excited to |
| 17845s | see what these teams are going to pull |
| 17846s | out |
| 17847s | we have the los angeles gladiators |
| 17849s | taking on the houston outlaws and you |
| 17851s | know houston's had their up and down |
| 17852s | they've been doing some certain things |
| 17854s | while the gladiators had a great season |
| 17856s | so far if you don't think about the two |
| 17858s | reverse sweeps |
| 17860s | yeah don't think about that don't know |
| 17862s | yet no no forget it didn't happen about |
| 17864s | it let's talk houston outlaws real fast |
| 17865s | yeah scott |
| 17866s | um |
| 17867s | they should have should have the home |
| 17870s | field advantage here well it's funny |
| 17871s | because i predicted the houston outlaws |
| 17873s | on the watchpoint desk and the reason i |
| 17876s | did it is i passed jake in the halls and |
| 17878s | he said custer we got something cooking |
| 17880s | up we got something good and if jake |
| 17881s | comes to you and he says we got |
| 17883s | something cooking up you have to pred |
| 17885s | them so i i'm excited to see what |
| 17886s | they're gonna do okay when did you make |
| 17888s | the bread before after you met jake in |
| 17889s | the hawaii after oh after that oh yeah i |
| 17891s | was gonna go for the gladiators i'll be |
| 17892s | honest i was gonna go for the gliders i |
| 17894s | think they are the favorites heading |
| 17895s | into this one but hey jake buff |
| 17898s | oh |
| 17899s | we'll have to wait and see let's look |
| 17901s | though the houston outlaws do they come |
| 17904s | in with the home field advantage they |
| 17906s | already beat dallas in well |
| 17909s | dallas so |
| 17910s | do they come in with it |
| 17912s | the houston outlaws here they are |
| 17925s | oh yeah |
| 17927s | the stage glowing green we know there's |
| 17929s | a lot of houston outlaws fans |
| 17932s | in the show and here live in arlington |
| 17936s | dante front and center we've seen him a |
| 17939s | lot on titan recently that's gonna be |
| 17941s | the story of this match they're gonna |
| 17943s | come out with the darn tank the doomtay |
| 17945s | i don't even know what we're calling it |
| 17946s | at this point but dante has been |
| 17948s | phenomenal for them so far the question |
| 17950s | of this series is is it going to keep |
| 17952s | working for them we've seen them have |
| 17954s | mixed success work very early on but |
| 17956s | they have started to be counted so |
| 17958s | he has a excellent roster around and |
| 17960s | this is what makes them such a dominant |
| 17962s | roster why we thought they were going to |
| 17963s | be so good heading into this year last |
| 17965s | year iris on the back line absolutely |
| 17967s | incredible and pelican rookie of the |
| 17969s | year great signing for the houston owls |
| 17971s | yeah just |
| 17972s | unbelievable damage output from pelican |
| 17975s | recently like he has been solo carrying |
| 17976s | a lot of these team fights i mean if you |
| 17978s | want to look at some of the top dps |
| 17980s | players who we have right now in the |
| 17981s | league you're thinking proper pelican is |
| 17984s | up there i mean there's so many scary |
| 17986s | rookies coming in the pelican just |
| 17988s | holding his ground against all these |
| 17990s | superstar amateurs then actors rookies |
| 17996s | bit of a joke well among us pretty sus |
| 17997s | not gonna lie |
| 17998s | okay gladiators though their opposition |
| 18001s | a little bit of a home field advantage |
| 18003s | for the outlaws but gladiators |
| 18006s | coming in strong there they are give |
| 18009s | some noise to the l a gladiators |
| 18013s | [Applause] |
| 18025s | has to be a thing right we're in texas |
| 18027s | we're in texas of course they're gonna |
| 18028s | get some booze i don't know if i'd be |
| 18029s | doing the gladiators they seem like the |
| 18031s | kind of team that if you sort of go |
| 18034s | against them they're going to step up |
| 18035s | rainer the rookie tank for this team has |
| 18037s | been absolutely exceptional on that |
| 18039s | winston so far this season he's showing |
| 18041s | a little bit of doofus as well if we |
| 18043s | want to see that doomfist mirror match |
| 18044s | up but just the superstar lineup of this |
| 18047s | los angeles gladius has been incredible |
| 18048s | so far once again if we don't talk about |
| 18051s | that reverse week and that's going to be |
| 18052s | the story and the narrative of this |
| 18054s | entire kickoff clash event are they |
| 18056s | going to be able to close out about |
| 18057s | against the best teams that we have in |
| 18059s | the league yeah it's crazy we've already |
| 18060s | seen one reverse sweep today |
| 18063s | astro and shoot in the background let's |
| 18064s | mention them real fast ashley just got |
| 18066s | to lucio player and shoe another honor |
| 18068s | player that has just stepped up |
| 18069s | massively we've seen how important |
| 18070s | arness can be and shoe one of the best |
| 18072s | oh yeah absolutely he was mvp nominee |
| 18075s | last season just because of how much |
| 18077s | output he does not only in the healing |
| 18079s | but in the damage as well he's that |
| 18080s | play-making player for the los angeles |
| 18083s | gladiators and they're going to need |
| 18084s | that because if dante is coming at you |
| 18087s | on the doomfist that anna needs to be |
| 18089s | clean and make sure they're hitting |
| 18090s | those sleep darts to punish |
| 18093s | of course gladiators they can rotate |
| 18094s | their dps too we've seen a few different |
| 18096s | shades kevster and paddy starting off |
| 18099s | just all out russian people down ideally |
| 18102s | right i mean you have rainer astro it's |
| 18104s | just well you got ashtray and guess what |
| 18105s | he's playing he's going aggressive he's |
| 18107s | playing lucio he's entering into the |
| 18108s | back line kevin has been having an mvp |
| 18110s | performance so far this season |
| 18111s | absolutely on that tracer |
| 18114s | paddy almost took a dive early on in the |
| 18116s | in the match |
| 18121s | just please okay chair up right if you |
| 18123s | fall over you know have a little |
| 18125s | accident |
| 18126s | not the best showing in your first game |
| 18128s | of the kickoff flash that's for sure lee |
| 18129s | jiang tower up first map control we |
| 18132s | always see astro coming in of course |
| 18133s | lucio player wants to run over people |
| 18136s | this tank line match up two extremely |
| 18138s | different styles when we see dante we |
| 18140s | know it's gonna be doomfist when we see |
| 18142s | ryan it could be |
| 18143s | a little bit of doom a little bit of |
| 18145s | winston well jake's being said they've |
| 18147s | been cooking something up |
| 18149s | maybe we'll see something different from |
| 18150s | dante i doubt it when dante is in the |
| 18152s | lineup you expect him to play that |
| 18154s | doomfist but i'm excited to see what the |
| 18155s | outlaws are going to bring out because |
| 18157s | as johnny said in the pre-show of this |
| 18159s | the gladiators you know what the houston |
| 18161s | outlaws are going to bring out |
| 18162s | especially when dante's in that lineup |
| 18164s | they've so far heavily leaned into that |
| 18166s | style of playing around the doomfist |
| 18168s | diving aggressively and so far right now |
| 18170s | it looks like that's what they're going |
| 18171s | to go with on the first round of the |
| 18173s | young tower |
| 18176s | trying to see the lucio's go at it has |
| 18177s | been a fantastic lucy on top of that too |
| 18179s | i mean if houston outlaws just |
| 18181s | you know you ride and die on the dante |
| 18183s | doomfist especially on control but |
| 18185s | iris and last row |
| 18187s | to phenomenal like old school players at |
| 18190s | this point it's interesting if we're |
| 18191s | gonna see the moira coming out here as |
| 18192s | well the san francisco shock have really |
| 18194s | popularized that style so far what you |
| 18196s | are able to do is when these first |
| 18198s | fights happen iris can go aggressive |
| 18201s | they can play fast and they can get that |
| 18202s | fast call lessons let's see how the |
| 18204s | outlaws are going to route around the |
| 18206s | los angeles gladiators and interestingly |
| 18208s | enough we have reiner coming out on the |
| 18210s | doofus as well in the mirror like in the |
| 18212s | mirror i like it jeshu |
| 18214s | and iris that have uh |
| 18215s | different heroes |
| 18217s | kev's taking the one beyond has the |
| 18218s | recall it's bad news for pelican that's |
| 18220s | a retreat to russia's team the last row |
| 18221s | caught off guard nice nade by shoe |
| 18224s | pelican last row dead outlaws three |
| 18228s | people down point unlocks the gladiators |
| 18230s | steamrolled through the outwards the |
| 18232s | outlaws want to go faster than that |
| 18233s | moira |
| 18234s | is hit a big nade easy game that's the |
| 18236s | major difference between the anna and |
| 18238s | the moya right there that anna has that |
| 18239s | ability to get that biotic nade make it |
| 18241s | impossible for them to be healed up shu |
| 18243s | is going to have so much impact in this |
| 18245s | match if they are going to play the |
| 18246s | warrior and look at that coalescence |
| 18248s | charge from iris here as well they |
| 18249s | didn't even get the value that you |
| 18251s | really want to get from that moira |
| 18252s | they're going to need to play faster |
| 18254s | they're going to need a stuck in these |
| 18255s | moving picks and there's |
| 18256s | against them goes down right there but |
| 18258s | shu has fallen for the gladiators so has |
| 18260s | astro no heating for the gladiators now |
| 18262s | it is a two on three so you'd imagine |
| 18264s | the guy at the age is win but merrick is |
| 18266s | still alive that sustained not only from |
| 18268s | the motor apart from his shotguns just |
| 18270s | winning them that fight the gladiators |
| 18271s | lost shoe and funny astro so early they |
| 18273s | just couldn't descend against the moira |
| 18275s | post bomb comes out from kepster over |
| 18276s | ambitious gladiators building up 33 now |
| 18280s | as the outlaws find the cat questionable |
| 18282s | commitment of the pulse bomb right there |
| 18284s | from kenston maybe he was thinking he |
| 18285s | could turn that around the houston |
| 18287s | outlaws playing that aggressive start |
| 18288s | but this is just going going going the |
| 18290s | gladiators want to fight again and they |
| 18291s | have shoe with that nano yeah pelican |
| 18293s | went in |
| 18294s | use the recall already and now the |
| 18296s | outlaws have to be worried about this |
| 18298s | visor and a nano one at that last row |
| 18300s | already dead dante those fists aren't |
| 18303s | gonna save you now gladiators |
| 18305s | clean sweep of the outlaws |
| 18308s | four kills for paddy does he make it |
| 18309s | five no he does not shoot finds the last |
| 18311s | and a very quick flip paddy pan showing |
| 18314s | up in this match so far and he needs to |
| 18316s | show up in this kickoff flash playoffs |
| 18318s | he has been struggling on that soldier |
| 18320s | so far throughout the tournament because |
| 18322s | what's been happening is he has either |
| 18324s | gone too aggressive or too passive and |
| 18326s | he hasn't got the value from the visors |
| 18327s | great signs for the gladiators that it's |
| 18329s | already paying off for them outlaws want |
| 18330s | to be able to go fast speed boost with |
| 18332s | that coalescence jump to the back line |
| 18334s | maybe use the pulse or even speed boost |
| 18336s | the depth blossom meteor strike being |
| 18338s | used by rhino straight onto the health |
| 18340s | pack not using offensively whatsoever |
| 18342s | can he get the punch on the warrior he |
| 18343s | cannot but dante actually ends up going |
| 18344s | down huge pick by reiner who was |
| 18347s | escaping for his life not just a moment |
| 18349s | ago sound barrier from astro and the |
| 18352s | gladiators they beat the outlaws back |
| 18355s | but only for a moment with that |
| 18356s | empowered punch as well that rhino got |
| 18358s | he also canceled the coalescence from |
| 18360s | the era so that one big ultimate that |
| 18362s | they've been working towards gets |
| 18363s | cancelled immediately the gladiators |
| 18365s | looking strong heading in 80 one fight |
| 18367s | territory here for the gladiators but |
| 18369s | the houston outlaws they have ultimates |
| 18370s | last year wants to watch his back here |
| 18372s | he's got the beat and kepster has the |
| 18373s | pulse the outlaws they're trying to make |
| 18375s | their way on to the point the pelicans |
| 18376s | already dead outlaws need to make |
| 18378s | something happen fast 10 to go before |
| 18380s | the glad to take the first round and shu |
| 18383s | is building up so quickly towards that |
| 18385s | nano boost |
| 18386s | comes out it hits four of the alloys |
| 18388s | they try and make their way up to the |
| 18389s | point there it jumps down from the |
| 18390s | rafters and kills both supports the |
| 18392s | outlaws |
| 18394s | do what they needed to do the gladiators |
| 18396s | they do lose control off of that death |
| 18398s | blossom |
| 18399s | the glass can come back with a nano |
| 18400s | bites good play by the houston outlaws |
| 18402s | especially with pelican going down early |
| 18404s | but now you have to work up from that |
| 18406s | they have no ultimates while the los |
| 18408s | angeles gladiators are leading up to it |
| 18410s | and shu and paddy pan with |
| 18412s | if they can do it again they'll close |
| 18413s | out this first round |
| 18415s | no they can't pull off and sleep onto |
| 18416s | pelican it was nice by shoe but it was |
| 18418s | too far away to really do anything |
| 18419s | twenty percent away before the nano |
| 18421s | visor can be deployed who's now always |
| 18424s | want to play back make sure dante can |
| 18426s | get a lot of value get that visor up as |
| 18428s | well that you can tell they're just |
| 18429s | playing slow they know they have that |
| 18430s | advantage of the ultimate outlaws aren't |
| 18432s | very close to them so they're just |
| 18433s | waiting for it they're about to pull the |
| 18434s | trigger a couple of seconds to go there |
| 18436s | it is tactical visor online shoe behind |
| 18437s | it with an about whoa already |
| 18446s | [Applause] |
| 18449s | the gladiators still need to fight on |
| 18451s | the point but it looks like they are |
| 18452s | maintaining control kevster could lock |
| 18454s | this point down with a pulse bomb but |
| 18456s | it's now at the outlaws to try and touch |
| 18457s | ot is triggered last row chased down one |
| 18460s | less person for the outlaws to get back |
| 18462s | to that point in time but it looks like |
| 18463s | the reinforcements have arrived a lot of |
| 18465s | ultimates for the outlaws but the |
| 18466s | gladiators riding on this pulse bomb |
| 18468s | maybe he decided to go again but the |
| 18470s | flip hasn't yet come through the |
| 18472s | coalescence or signals the gladiators to |
| 18474s | pull back just a little bit but kept it |
| 18476s | says no pulse bomb on to merits |
| 18478s | gladiators are up one person launched |
| 18481s | the beat |
| 18482s | doesn't receive it but it doesn't matter |
| 18483s | because dante's already dead the outlaws |
| 18485s | trying to get back to the point in time |
| 18487s | 85 percent of building but the |
| 18489s | gladiators are still finding kills we're |
| 18491s | going into 90 |
| 18493s | houston outlaws if they can make it to |
| 18494s | the point they can make anything happen |
| 18495s | ot here there's the lucio lastro making |
| 18498s | it back to the point merits needs to |
| 18499s | find something special teleport on but |
| 18501s | he's no hp instantly killed off by |
| 18503s | kempster ot ticking down paddy's sitting |
| 18506s | in his healing station it does fade away |
| 18508s | but merit falling does mean a lot of |
| 18510s | damage away for the outlaws now a good |
| 18513s | beat from last row and anti-aid is going |
| 18515s | to get negated by those over health but |
| 18517s | last row is still finding kills the |
| 18518s | gladiators one by one by one of picking |
| 18521s | outlaws to shreds |
| 18522s | [Applause] |
| 18528s | that puts the nail in the coffin for the |
| 18530s | houston outlaws the gladiators coming |
| 18532s | out and showing their prowess |
| 18534s | kevster having that dominant performance |
| 18536s | on that tracer early on really just |
| 18538s | maneuvering around the houston outlaws |
| 18540s | dipping pelican on that tracer and that |
| 18542s | pulse bomb heading into that final fight |
| 18544s | on merit really being the difference |
| 18547s | now this thing with the guardians is |
| 18548s | this |
| 18549s | team that they're running with into |
| 18551s | control they can switch up |
| 18553s | the rush composition yeah |
| 18555s | they've shown it they showed it recently |
| 18557s | against the atlanta reign some of us |
| 18558s | thought it might have been mental |
| 18559s | warfare but they're proving that it |
| 18561s | actually is a strategy that they believe |
| 18563s | in patty pan on the may as well has |
| 18565s | struggled so far this season as i said |
| 18567s | but his may has looked clean they're |
| 18568s | going on to something that maybe the |
| 18570s | houston outlaws won't expect |
| 18574s | just posturing that's all they really |
| 18575s | need to do take control of the server |
| 18577s | room |
| 18578s | dante getting a powered up punch that's |
| 18581s | a big slam good counter pin but panapan |
| 18583s | can put up a wall at any time he chooses |
| 18586s | and separate the rest of the outlaws |
| 18587s | there you go dante is dead unfortunately |
| 18589s | he doesn't have armor so a little more |
| 18591s | squishy when you do go for that counter |
| 18593s | pin you both go down gladiators off to a |
| 18596s | good start point unlocks and it becomes |
| 18598s | harder and harder when you are playing |
| 18599s | against a may to enter into this point |
| 18601s | the gladiators they're able to dictate |
| 18603s | when they want to take this fight paddy |
| 18605s | pan already here up goes the mabel |
| 18607s | pushing them through a choke big wall |
| 18608s | reiner can now swing basically for free |
| 18611s | iris goes down already in the outlaws |
| 18613s | struggling to get anything done |
| 18615s | that maywall yeah it made we didn't |
| 18618s | obfuscate the outlaws they still find a |
| 18619s | small path they run just into a wall of |
| 18621s | damage ryan is just sitting there with |
| 18623s | the hammer waiting for them to come |
| 18625s | through and now you have to question are |
| 18626s | the houston outlaws going to be able to |
| 18628s | find some purchase on this fight you can |
| 18630s | see they're waiting for it dante has |
| 18631s | that empowered punch keep an eye on that |
| 18633s | i think he's going on a long long flank |
| 18635s | here potentially going to come in hard |
| 18637s | and fast it's only 30 percent for the |
| 18639s | clouds right now |
| 18640s | so it's not the worst there's another |
| 18642s | counter pin |
| 18643s | nice |
| 18644s | focus fire from kepster there's a top |
| 18647s | okay kept just going hand okay sit |
| 18649s | behind the window does a lot of damage |
| 18650s | by the way uh cassidy yeah still uh with |
| 18653s | the magnetic grenade and a couple of |
| 18654s | headshots will do it and with kevster's |
| 18655s | name you're never missing a single one |
| 18657s | of them straight to spawn dante picks |
| 18659s | his head out and he's already |
| 18661s | kept showing his flexibility flexing his |
| 18665s | mvp muscles a little bit here and the |
| 18667s | outlaws haven't even looked close to |
| 18669s | getting into one of these fights iris is |
| 18671s | only about to get up to a coal lesson so |
| 18673s | this has to be the fight in which |
| 18674s | they're going to find some form of |
| 18675s | contest you're going aggressive and hey |
| 18676s | you could get a couple of tanks on here |
| 18678s | with the coffee can go for a small flank |
| 18681s | would seem like a good coffee target |
| 18682s | nice wall once again to stop dante and |
| 18684s | pelican having a word in this fight high |
| 18687s | noon finds dante potentially having the |
| 18690s | worst game of doomfist i've seen dante |
| 18691s | play he's just not being able to get |
| 18693s | anything done the gladiators |
| 18695s | 80 scott the outlaws have not touched |
| 18698s | the point |
| 18700s | losing these supports lately is going to |
| 18702s | hurt them as well all of a sudden how do |
| 18703s | they get to the point i wouldn't be |
| 18705s | surprised to see dante use this meteor |
| 18707s | strike just to get to the point because |
| 18709s | 90 and counting and they're not even |
| 18711s | close iris has actually switched over to |
| 18713s | the honor maybe he wants to go for a |
| 18714s | hell marinade reiner on the side he's |
| 18716s | got the shadow lined it up knocked him |
| 18719s | down goodbye iris a change didn't mean |
| 18722s | anything oh i spot in the way of ryan |
| 18724s | there unlucky i guess |
| 18726s | paddy's griefing reiner here as he tries |
| 18728s | to make that contest outlaws though they |
| 18729s | do end up flipping and merit does go |
| 18731s | down so uh should be a fairly easy |
| 18734s | cleanup the reinhardt against three |
| 18735s | extremely mobile characters is going to |
| 18737s | fall pretty fast and more tight field to |
| 18739s | save his life can the outlaws have a say |
| 18741s | in this fight i'm not sure they actually |
| 18743s | open up with a window they focus down |
| 18745s | dante and in fact just jump into the |
| 18746s | back line pelican already dies that's a |
| 18748s | single headshot kill up in the sky |
| 18750s | reiner going pretty low but the rest of |
| 18752s | his team are keeping him alive and well |
| 18753s | this is the man that you want to watch |
| 18754s | though kevster just |
| 18756s | unbelievable deadlift right now in terms |
| 18758s | of damage shoe does fall to dante but |
| 18760s | america gets a double stick out of |
| 18762s | nowhere ot is here and the gladiators |
| 18765s | have control of the point still but |
| 18766s | merit saving them at the very last |
| 18768s | moment that is a clutch pulse bomb right |
| 18771s | there you could feel it slipping away |
| 18772s | from them dante was about to go down |
| 18774s | caught in the back line so now it gets |
| 18776s | harder for the los angeles gladiators |
| 18777s | all of a sudden the may it's very good |
| 18779s | to defend with but attacking it can be |
| 18781s | very hard to find those initiations |
| 18783s | especially the houston outlaws playing a |
| 18785s | dive composition you're going to see |
| 18786s | them spread out on this point wait for |
| 18788s | the los angeles gladiators to walk into |
| 18790s | them and then find their moment to |
| 18792s | strike they have no ultimates other than |
| 18794s | pelicans coffee i wouldn't be surprised |
| 18796s | to see some ryan on ryan action here |
| 18798s | nice nade from the outlaws three go |
| 18800s | bright purple but look at that the |
| 18802s | immortality field saving rhino shoe and |
| 18804s | funny astra from instantly dying kevster |
| 18806s | and paddy the dps take out merit and |
| 18808s | dante a copy might be good but it's only |
| 18810s | onto a cassidy has he got the damage |
| 18812s | really at all or even an angle to try |
| 18814s | and get on to this point it's 62 for the |
| 18816s | outlaws pelicans got the dead eye the |
| 18819s | value could be fairly big if he gets him |
| 18821s | in the back but no everybody just is |
| 18823s | escorted away by astro a beat to put |
| 18826s | gladiators back in control but this nano |
| 18829s | boost onto dante might be good enough |
| 18830s | but shu on the high ground is just doing |
| 18832s | absurd amount of damage and healing no |
| 18834s | one's going to be able to dislodge him |
| 18835s | dante going pretty low fist is up but |
| 18837s | shoes still doing work dante's finally |
| 18840s | found him but she doesn't go down he |
| 18842s | kills dante the gladiators now assume |
| 18845s | control and 99 should take over |
| 18848s | another kill the gladiators |
| 18851s | take map number one how does he keep |
| 18853s | doing this |
| 18856s | is a better dps than anyone else on the |
| 18858s | server right now i think he gets four or |
| 18860s | five final boys in that one he gets onto |
| 18862s | that high ground is just shooting |
| 18864s | raining down onto the houston outlaws |
| 18866s | with no way to get him back |
| 18869s | how can you stop that you |
| 18871s | dante tried twice yeah i mean you don't |
| 18873s | right but dante twice twice to get out |
| 18875s | there just using the seismic slam and he |
| 18878s | either slightly missed or just get shot |
| 18881s | out of the sky by shoe |
| 18882s | the gladiators up a map 2-0 on control |
| 18886s | the houston outlaws maybe they have that |
| 18889s | lamb buff but we'll have to wait and |
| 18890s | find out after this break |

| 19163s | welcome back |
| 19164s | to the commonwealth cast oh we're here |
| 19166s | with the commonwealth have made it yeah |
| 19168s | finally taking over the league let's go |
| 19171s | the gladiators versus the outlaws the |
| 19172s | gladiators 2-0 in that control mathens |
| 19176s | scott you may have been lied to just |
| 19178s | maybe i'm not sure what jake's secret |
| 19180s | sauce or plan is but |
| 19182s | there's no subs i i feel like jake might |
| 19184s | have just lied to me to gain some favor |
| 19186s | gain my prediction you know because |
| 19188s | they're gonna keep dante in unless i |
| 19190s | said it's something crazy like a dante |
| 19192s | sigma or something like that it seems |
| 19194s | like they're gonna lean onto this |
| 19195s | doomfist play and the worrying thing if |
| 19198s | you're the houston outlaws right now is |
| 19200s | they played the mirror they did it on li |
| 19202s | jiang tower in that first round and |
| 19203s | reiner proved that he can hang with with |
| 19205s | dante yeah the only real difference |
| 19207s | there was the |
| 19209s | moira versus the anna yeah the |
| 19211s | gladiators they came on top of the honor |
| 19213s | like over and over again i mean we saw |
| 19214s | shu |
| 19215s | go absolutely crazy |
| 19217s | with the nades it's definitely morbid |
| 19219s | time that's for sure |
| 19220s | yeah |
| 19221s | you're gonna you had to get that one you |
| 19223s | know i |
| 19228s | who is normally at least a couple of |
| 19230s | months behind relevant jokes then like |
| 19233s | matt the boomer of the overwatch league |
| 19234s | if he can get that i want him you |
| 19236s | definitely can we're going on to |
| 19237s | eichenwalder it's going to be |
| 19239s | interesting to see what we get from both |
| 19240s | of these teams the los angeles |
| 19242s | gladiators they have a deep bag of |
| 19244s | tricks they've shown us many many looks |
| 19246s | are they going to try that rush style on |
| 19248s | the first point how do you protect |
| 19249s | against that they're going to play their |
| 19250s | traditional winston style they have so |
| 19252s | many tools in their arsenal how did the |
| 19254s | houston outlaws prepare for it |
| 19257s | yeah that was a big question because you |
| 19258s | know what the outlaw's going to play |
| 19259s | unless this is the secret sauce maybe |
| 19261s | dante has been playing erisa orissa |
| 19264s | we've already seen it pulled out once |
| 19266s | today by mag and it was legendary it |
| 19268s | didn't work but it was legendary so |
| 19270s | maybe we can see the same thing from |
| 19271s | dante |
| 19273s | i mean maybe so |
| 19275s | looks like glads are on the defense |
| 19277s | first so |
| 19278s | at least you can see what they're |
| 19279s | pulling out but it makes the most sense |
| 19281s | right just put rhino back on the rhine |
| 19283s | if you're not subbing out astro go |
| 19284s | straight on the lucio and just oh wow |
| 19287s | same plan for kepster and paddy i mean |
| 19289s | kevs can basically play anything under |
| 19291s | the sun that can be said for the entire |
| 19292s | los angeles gladiators roster that's |
| 19294s | what makes them incredible paddy pan a |
| 19297s | player who has come in we haven't seen |
| 19299s | that much flexibility from him so far in |
| 19301s | this season but he does have that he's |
| 19303s | that flex dps player when you put him |
| 19305s | and kevs that together there's almost |
| 19306s | nothing that they can't play we've |
| 19308s | actually seen them flex between the |
| 19309s | genji as well but it looks like right |
| 19312s | now the gladiators are going to go to |
| 19313s | their tried and true winston soldier |
| 19315s | tracer style |
| 19319s | jump to the back line get off last throw |
| 19322s | a cheeky name oh you ever did |
| 19324s | stone skimming as a kid like oh yeah |
| 19326s | across the pond i was awful at it it was |
| 19327s | like two max otherwise it was just it |
| 19329s | would just hit it or you just like throw |
| 19330s | it in and just plonk well that was this |
| 19332s | sucks that was embarrassing i got to get |
| 19333s | another stone |
| 19335s | well |
| 19341s | you want to go really fast right dive to |
| 19342s | the back line asap pick off an arno |
| 19344s | who's i wouldn't say vulnerable she has |
| 19347s | two very defensive abilities in the name |
| 19349s | of sleep but |
| 19351s | iris did not have a good time no and the |
| 19353s | problem with this moira is you don't |
| 19355s | have a lot of you have a lot of |
| 19356s | throughput with your healing with your |
| 19358s | damage but you don't have a lot of |
| 19359s | utility like the anna does with the |
| 19360s | sleep dart and the nade you're going to |
| 19362s | see the houston outlaws routing around |
| 19363s | the gladiators are they going to go all |
| 19364s | the way through spawn or are they just |
| 19366s | going to hold up in this mini pack room |
| 19368s | which we have some cooldowns maybe wait |
| 19369s | for that all wait for the fade |
| 19371s | irish use that looks like going to the |
| 19373s | park |
| 19375s | the commonwealth you know they have to |
| 19376s | go to the park yeah |
| 19380s | there we go capturing a little bit of |
| 19381s | trouble but is there where the outlaws |
| 19383s | want to be they want to just plant merit |
| 19384s | on the point make reiner fight him in a |
| 19386s | 1v1 straight up in the face there you go |
| 19388s | they've already made the gladiators |
| 19389s | retreat and secured it tick gladiators |
| 19392s | need to push forward and they're a bit |
| 19393s | scared of merit on the side but blowing |
| 19395s | his wraith form |
| 19397s | doesn't mean that they uh no he's gonna |
| 19399s | play a little bit more defensive dive in |
| 19400s | from rhino going extraordinarily low but |
| 19402s | astro does fall so one for one limited |
| 19405s | healing now for the outlaws but dante |
| 19407s | falling no speed boost to get him away |
| 19409s | from kepster |
| 19411s | the gladiators working their way up to a |
| 19412s | nanoboost so quickly 10 away already it |
| 19415s | looks like ryan is going to actually |
| 19416s | come back on the doomfist and kepster |
| 19419s | just rolling iris forcing him all the |
| 19421s | way back reiner proving that he's |
| 19423s | comfortable in this doomfist matchup i |
| 19425s | like what the houston outlaws did there |
| 19427s | setting it up they wanted to go behind |
| 19428s | them make it so the gladiators still |
| 19430s | they have to walk into you that cannot |
| 19432s | happen if you are last year on the |
| 19433s | housing outlets you can't be giving away |
| 19434s | a free kill like that what's that |
| 19437s | 20 seconds off the clock yeah not great |
| 19440s | well the outlaws they build up what they |
| 19441s | need to build up which is the |
| 19442s | coalescence so at least got that in this |
| 19444s | fight but gladiators you would expect |
| 19445s | more to build up the uh the coal before |
| 19448s | this nano but shu |
| 19450s | and palipan already have that nano visor |
| 19452s | available they're going to respond as |
| 19453s | soon as they use that coal lessons we're |
| 19455s | going to see paddy and they're going to |
| 19456s | nano onto ryder yeah there's no way |
| 19458s | you're escaping that one beautiful sleep |
| 19460s | onto iris too wow |
| 19462s | i mean don't need a visor if everybody's |
| 19464s | cowering in a very small room just |
| 19466s | charge up that punch and everybody |
| 19469s | is as good as pulp on the floor lasher |
| 19471s | and pelican die and now i mean half the |
| 19473s | time bank gone pelican used his pulse |
| 19475s | but they've got a beat and a coalescence |
| 19476s | for this next fight i wasn't expecting |
| 19478s | that one either was the houston outlaws |
| 19480s | with the doomfist nano in |
| 19482s | the silver lining if you are the outlaws |
| 19483s | you kept that coalescence for iris you |
| 19485s | still have that engaged tool shu does |
| 19487s | not have that nano so you're going to be |
| 19489s | able to play aggressive patty pen how's |
| 19490s | he going to use this visor effectively |
| 19492s | to mitigate the coalescence dante's just |
| 19494s | going in taking a whole heap of damage |
| 19496s | almost got pulsed |
| 19498s | would have died for sure |
| 19500s | capture just walk in just wmod oh |
| 19502s | beautiful little kayak |
| 19503s | doesn't quite get much there's the |
| 19505s | meteor strike b has been used from the |
| 19506s | los angeles guy the ages dante now in |
| 19508s | the pub looking for a fight shoe goes |
| 19511s | down and now it's only astro to heal the |
| 19512s | rest of the gladiators outlaws using the |
| 19514s | beat should signal the end of the fight |
| 19516s | for the glads unless they pull off a |
| 19517s | miracle doesn't look like it ryder can't |
| 19519s | do it |
| 19520s | now astro skirting his way around the |
| 19522s | point with the outlaws looking to win |
| 19525s | should be a clean sweep astro still not |
| 19527s | dead somehow there we go finally dies |
| 19529s | and the point is unlocked |
| 19531s | great engagement from dante there |
| 19533s | finding that opening you utilizing that |
| 19535s | coalescence very very well the |
| 19537s | gladiators looking quite poor in terms |
| 19539s | of ultimates now but we go on to the |
| 19540s | second point of icon water almost |
| 19542s | everyone's least favorite thing to do |
| 19544s | because it becomes a battle of who can |
| 19546s | control that castle the gladiator is |
| 19548s | already getting patty pan set up there |
| 19550s | get shoe set up there it becomes very |
| 19552s | difficult merit on that reaper though |
| 19554s | he's already in the basement he's |
| 19555s | lurking around you've got to keep an eye |
| 19557s | on him because that death blossom could |
| 19558s | turn this bite very quickly there's |
| 19559s | edges you can get one holster daisy that |
| 19562s | wall fill it in the morning i'm sure |
| 19564s | yeah outlaw's not too fast about that |
| 19565s | one without a pulse bomb kepster is a |
| 19567s | little less dangerous dante going so low |
| 19569s | what a sleep can they follow up don't |
| 19571s | think so a goodbye grenade onto dante |
| 19573s | just follows up with the kill nice |
| 19575s | positioning from there |
| 19578s | and now the payload hasn't been stopped |
| 19579s | the outlaws i don't think they want to |
| 19581s | fight kept building up towards the pulse |
| 19582s | bomb pretty quickly but it's going to be |
| 19584s | about shoe in this next engagement this |
| 19586s | nano boost can use |
| 19587s | watch safe party or safe rhino from any |
| 19589s | dangerous engagements |
| 19591s | you can see the houston outlaws they're |
| 19593s | just sort of setting up on the castle |
| 19594s | dante's already in though nano boost |
| 19596s | onto paddy's running forward merit hit |
| 19598s | in the death bottom kill shoe but paddy |
| 19600s | surviving through that damage |
| 19603s | with the damage mitigation of the nano |
| 19604s | boost there's the coal we're finally |
| 19607s | seeing it but it's not getting too much |
| 19608s | damage done just mainly healing i say |
| 19610s | that as reiner ends up going down |
| 19612s | potentially trying to stop the coal from |
| 19615s | getting any more effectiveness by |
| 19616s | punching it but i didn't end up working |
| 19618s | out in the outlaws |
| 19620s | now making their way with the payload |
| 19622s | small corridor with the coalescence |
| 19624s | seems good for the houston outlaws the |
| 19626s | gladiators walking in somewhere they |
| 19627s | shouldn't have but now we have the |
| 19629s | outlaws pushing it across the bridge |
| 19630s | they have that last row beat paddy pam |
| 19632s | with the visor how is the los angeles |
| 19634s | guy that's going to entertain this come |
| 19635s | on come on |
| 19636s | cancel though paddy with a bullet to the |
| 19638s | brain takes up pelican the gladiators |
| 19640s | now pushing forward with the beat |
| 19642s | outlaws respond in kind they push ashrae |
| 19645s | back and actually get a stun but he's a |
| 19646s | slippery lucio and he does get away |
| 19648s | paddy on the flight with a tactical |
| 19649s | visor he's not finding any kills but |
| 19651s | he's finding a ton of damage helping |
| 19653s | secure the kill not only onto marriage |
| 19654s | but to dante they stop the payload just |
| 19657s | before the doors |
| 19659s | and with a minute in 17 to go |
| 19661s | and the bank of the outlaws looking |
| 19663s | rather bare not a good sign paddy making |
| 19666s | those legs run runs all the way behind |
| 19669s | the houston outlaws gets that great |
| 19671s | visor after the beat from last row wears |
| 19673s | off and it just pays off for them but |
| 19675s | now houston outlaws they go back to step |
| 19677s | one they need to get control of that |
| 19678s | castle they need to dislodge paddy pan |
| 19680s | and shoe from this spot again |
| 19682s | it's you have to question if they should |
| 19684s | make some switches or if this is going |
| 19686s | to work with no ultimates and only 49 |
| 19687s | seconds remaining and dante's dead |
| 19689s | before the fights even the guy could not |
| 19691s | happen right oh that was close |
| 19693s | gets hit up by shoe and now with 40 |
| 19695s | seconds to go at least they trade right |
| 19697s | paddy is dead and the outlaws are now |
| 19699s | putting themselves on the payload it's a |
| 19700s | 5v5 kefst is going pretty low too a nice |
| 19703s | position from shoe though all the way at |
| 19704s | the back and an unbelievable name |
| 19707s | coalescence that rate coalescence from |
| 19709s | iris yep it's going to be pretty |
| 19710s | important for this next engagement but |
| 19712s | they have to survive it first shoe ends |
| 19713s | up going down dante came reference spawn |
| 19716s | paid him a little visit and the |
| 19717s | coalescence is good reiner ends up |
| 19719s | falling and there you go the payload |
| 19721s | the sunken and the outlaws they're |
| 19722s | making it work but it's the coal essence |
| 19724s | that's really just pushing them over the |
| 19726s | edge it is that primary ultimate that |
| 19728s | they want to get up as fast as possible |
| 19729s | that's their big win condition it gives |
| 19731s | you that healing that damage to be able |
| 19733s | to deal with the los angeles gladiators |
| 19735s | you need to see those differences |
| 19737s | between the ana shu has that nano boost |
| 19739s | they're going to use that to go |
| 19741s | aggressive are they going to nano rhino |
| 19743s | again to get aggressive but merit is |
| 19745s | already behind and he is close to that |
| 19746s | death blossom |
| 19748s | dante's got that powered up punch |
| 19750s | unfortunately he doesn't have a nano |
| 19751s | because he's got a moira but that's okay |
| 19753s | speaking of nanos though gladiators have |
| 19754s | both the nano and the supporter the |
| 19756s | other support |
| 19758s | that pete's |
| 19759s | nice little nano one to rhino powered up |
| 19760s | punch too dante's in trouble sends |
| 19762s | himself to the heavens but can he find |
| 19764s | any kills yes helps marriage secure the |
| 19766s | kill on to paddy |
| 19768s | and the gladiators have to use that beat |
| 19770s | to try and find something in this fight |
| 19771s | mary's just waiting for that over health |
| 19773s | to disappear he's got the death blossom |
| 19774s | in tow |
| 19775s | in trouble ends up falling 49 seconds |
| 19778s | and the outlaws they're making their way |
| 19780s | to third with ease |
| 19782s | that laid beat by funny asteroid might |
| 19784s | cost them heavily they're going |
| 19786s | aggressive they see blood in the water |
| 19788s | and they're gonna go aggressive don't |
| 19789s | let the gladiators out of the door two |
| 19791s | meters to go and mara finds a kill with |
| 19792s | the death blossom and now catches the |
| 19794s | one to touch almost gets one tap there |
| 19795s | by marriage make that a four-time |
| 19801s | they have to touch the point actually |
| 19802s | it's going to get burned down that right |
| 19804s | click of the boiler way too strong |
| 19805s | apparently merits cleans on up and the |
| 19808s | outlaws complete with time |
| 19810s | that is an important cap for the houston |
| 19812s | outlaws it's about gaining confidence in |
| 19815s | the match-up against the los angeles |
| 19816s | gladiators they were starting to stumble |
| 19819s | but getting that second point capture |
| 19820s | and now they finish with time a very |
| 19823s | important thing for them |
| 19825s | gladiators though are they going to come |
| 19827s | out on the mirror are they confident in |
| 19828s | their ability to adapt against the style |
| 19830s | by the apples |
| 19831s | [Applause] |
| 19833s | i love the signs already by the way |
| 19834s | beautiful stuff like the little cat |
| 19836s | bottom left excellent stuff i love me |
| 19838s | some cats yeah |
| 19839s | they wouldn't let me bring my cat oh |
| 19841s | really yeah that's crazy i i have three |
| 19843s | of them they didn't let me bring any of |
| 19844s | them that's crazy that's the point yeah |
| 19846s | it would have almost been like |
| 19848s | all of us being allergic to cats and |
| 19849s | just sneezing everywhere that sounds |
| 19850s | like a you problem |
| 19852s | here |
| 19865s | it's interesting to see the outlaws |
| 19867s | leaning heavily onto this reaper it's |
| 19869s | something that we've seen the dallas |
| 19870s | fuel play heavily with the zaya you get |
| 19873s | that effectiveness but merit likes |
| 19875s | playing it with the doomfist and you can |
| 19877s | understand why it feels very hard to |
| 19879s | deal with the doomfist the reaper the |
| 19882s | tracer there's just so many threats and |
| 19884s | then you add on top of that it's hard to |
| 19886s | punish the backline there's no one |
| 19887s | protecting the backline but iris is a |
| 19889s | moira they can protect themselves and |
| 19890s | heal themselves up |
| 19891s | so it'll be interesting to see how the |
| 19893s | gladiators are going to make adjustments |
| 19894s | if they'll go to the reaper themselves |
| 19896s | or they're just going to stick with what |
| 19897s | they know works |
| 19899s | gold kevster go on son speaking of what |
| 19902s | works this never works yeah i don't |
| 19904s | think we've known no no so the hog and |
| 19905s | the bastion thing that's been tried for |
| 19907s | so many seasons now it worked once so |
| 19909s | eventually that will work one of these |
| 19911s | days one of these they'll be fine |
| 19913s | okay yeah so we're seeing kind of the |
| 19914s | same thing we've seen |
| 19916s | before shoe on the arno still iris on |
| 19918s | the moira they're not playing too far up |
| 19919s | though scott |
| 19921s | you can tell the outlaws they want them |
| 19922s | to come into them they have that reaper |
| 19924s | they want to play those corners so as |
| 19925s | soon as the gladiators turn they go nice |
| 19927s | punch nice sleep though healing station |
| 19929s | actually keeping shoe alive through all |
| 19932s | of that damage |
| 19933s | so you're a third support it's insane |
| 19936s | the guardian is trying to punish dante |
| 19938s | as much as possible dante gets punched |
| 19940s | out of his power block doesn't find the |
| 19941s | empowered to punch and unfortunately |
| 19943s | rhino does stuns incoming if they can |
| 19946s | find kills yes there you go the main |
| 19948s | healer now down for the outlaws and |
| 19949s | dante was soon to follow the gladiators |
| 19952s | already building up to not only a meteor |
| 19953s | strike but a post spot |
| 19956s | unreal old charge generation from the |
| 19958s | glass look at dante's as well he's only |
| 19960s | at 46 percent rhino having immense |
| 19963s | impact on that first point especially |
| 19965s | with that pick up a pickup on iris iris |
| 19968s | as the moyer very self-sufficient here |
| 19970s | cannot be getting picked off like that |
| 19971s | but now that wealth of ultimates that we |
| 19973s | talked about from the gladiators they |
| 19974s | can use them pushing into this second |
| 19976s | point |
| 19978s | please take a higher advantage but |
| 19979s | they're going to forego it to just fight |
| 19981s | the close fight |
| 19982s | kevster misses the pulse dante looking |
| 19985s | to punish |
| 19986s | but it's not going to happen but i don't |
| 19987s | think they expected ryan to have the |
| 19989s | ultimate that early on the pelican finds |
| 19991s | a nice pulse bomb though what an |
| 19992s | unlikely target in a stroke |
| 19994s | good start for the outlaws they can hold |
| 19996s | the gate and it's not even open yet |
| 19998s | scott so they're fighting exactly where |
| 19999s | they want to this is an important thing |
| 20001s | that people have been doing since the |
| 20002s | beginning of time fight early so that |
| 20004s | the gate never opened so even if the |
| 20006s | gladiators do win this fight they're |
| 20008s | gonna have to wait for that time for the |
| 20009s | gate to open as you can tell this is a |
| 20011s | lot of time off the clock and if you're |
| 20012s | the outlaws you didn't really even |
| 20014s | commit anything pelican used that pulse |
| 20016s | bomb got that connection and now the |
| 20017s | gladiators have to use their own pulse |
| 20019s | bomb and the meteor strike |
| 20021s | yeah i mean the outlaws have that |
| 20022s | coalescence on again that's the thing |
| 20024s | that's been winning them a lot of these |
| 20026s | fights in fact well meteor strike death |
| 20028s | blossoms coming up got the beat should |
| 20030s | be good they just got to avoid shoe |
| 20032s | ideally right |
| 20033s | just avoid chewing |
| 20035s | [Music] |
| 20039s | once again punched out of that |
| 20041s | coalescence and killed off by kevster |
| 20043s | there's no way that the outlaws can |
| 20045s | continue to let this happen there's the |
| 20047s | nano fighter in a small corridor merit |
| 20049s | falls to shu and paddy now just clean it |
| 20052s | up dante kills the support eventually |
| 20055s | but she would already done as much work |
| 20058s | as you could really expect from the |
| 20059s | honor the gladiators and i mean well |
| 20062s | here is just coalescence that's the tool |
| 20064s | they've been winning fights and reiner |
| 20066s | interrupts another one another one |
| 20068s | that's the important thing because iris |
| 20070s | needs to be getting these and houston |
| 20072s | outlaws that he's pointed their support |
| 20073s | ultimates there they don't have many |
| 20074s | answers to the gladiator's aggression |
| 20077s | looking for that kobe post spot |
| 20080s | so many people gathered onto the left |
| 20081s | hand side kept trying to punish out the |
| 20083s | push out dante there it is gets the |
| 20084s | stick power block off but it doesn't |
| 20086s | matter kevster with a perfect start to |
| 20088s | the fight hits the recoil so he's a |
| 20089s | little bit more squishy now |
| 20091s | but it doesn't really seem to matter |
| 20092s | beautiful double blink all the way to |
| 20094s | the back and iris once again falls |
| 20096s | reiner god is number in this game the |
| 20099s | gladiators with a humongous time back |
| 20101s | three minutes |
| 20103s | are going to unlock that castle door the |
| 20105s | outlaws they may need some of that |
| 20107s | jake's secret sauce scott because right |
| 20109s | now it's not looking good we've already |
| 20111s | determined i think he was lying to us |
| 20113s | unless the moira was the secret sauce |
| 20115s | but the secret sauce isn't that good |
| 20116s | then because it has not worked for them |
| 20118s | on this defense when they are that |
| 20120s | defensive team it doesn't feel like |
| 20122s | they're able to control the tempo |
| 20123s | gladiators they're going first but we |
| 20125s | actually see a switch from shu in that |
| 20126s | fight going to the moira himself |
| 20128s | okay call versus carl that's what maybe |
| 20130s | you want to see |
| 20132s | maybe i don't know maybe not many |
| 20133s | nothings |
| 20135s | [Music] |
| 20136s | look how defensive they're playing like |
| 20137s | you mentioned they want to play around |
| 20138s | these corners so reaper gets maximum |
| 20140s | effectiveness coalescence from iris |
| 20144s | dante is dead again astro cleaning up |
| 20146s | the kill the gladiators their focus fire |
| 20148s | is just so good she's going to be on |
| 20149s | coalescence almost directly after this |
| 20151s | fight post spawn tactical visor the |
| 20154s | gladiator is just full send right now |
| 20156s | last straw ends up going down a raythro |
| 20157s | on four are forced out by merit so he |
| 20159s | has to run back to spawn the gladiators |
| 20161s | just running away with this game skill |
| 20164s | abuse to kill dante and look at that |
| 20166s | a four minute and twelve time bank |
| 20169s | versus a single minute |
| 20172s | for the allies |
| 20173s | that wasn't very good for the houston |
| 20176s | outlaws and it just feels like the |
| 20177s | gladiators have sort of understood how |
| 20179s | they want to play against this style |
| 20181s | isolate dante as soon as dante goes too |
| 20183s | aggressive he uses that power block he |
| 20186s | he feels like he doesn't have that exit |
| 20187s | maybe not enough healing with iris on |
| 20189s | that moira that individual healing might |
| 20192s | not be there for the doomfist |
| 20195s | and if you're forcing out that |
| 20197s | fade super early it's pretty easy to go |
| 20201s | hey we just dive on this right i mean |
| 20202s | maura if she's used to orb early too |
| 20204s | like that's a whole lot of selfies |
| 20206s | that's disappearing |
| 20211s | 412 on the bank |
| 20213s | this this is an insurmountable amount of |
| 20216s | time but |
| 20217s | the silver lining aquamod is a map that |
| 20219s | if they can get that first fight win |
| 20221s | they can get the gate open they can win |
| 20223s | with their first ultimate cycle all of a |
| 20225s | sudden you can end up on that second |
| 20226s | point bridge and four minutes 12 doesn't |
| 20228s | matter as much as that you would think |
| 20230s | it would so houston outlaws are they |
| 20232s | going to be able to find some |
| 20233s | adjustments and it needs to be on the |
| 20235s | back of dante on that doom fist |
| 20237s | merit reaper though what do you think of |
| 20239s | it because it feels like patty pan that |
| 20241s | visor is just getting way more value |
| 20243s | than the death boss yeah the outlaws |
| 20245s | they're trying to hold super close with |
| 20248s | the reaper but |
| 20249s | apparently just sitting all the way at |
| 20250s | the back and then dante's just focused |
| 20252s | out dante's trying to make some space |
| 20254s | and then use the power block and |
| 20256s | well as soon as that's gone the the |
| 20258s | doomfist a little bit more squishy you |
| 20260s | don't block 90 percent of damage you |
| 20262s | know if you're just gonna stand in there |
| 20263s | ninety percent doesn't matter if you |
| 20264s | take a million damage so |
| 20266s | yeah i mean okay simple matrix quick |
| 20268s | match |
| 20270s | the power black block from dante he's |
| 20272s | going in straight to the back does miss |
| 20274s | the punch a little bit short and now |
| 20275s | without the power button oh so let's go |
| 20277s | for the quick punch but paddy again like |
| 20278s | you just said scott like he's sitting |
| 20280s | all the way back panapan's running away |
| 20282s | with this |
| 20283s | there's what 25 seconds now maybe the |
| 20286s | guy just can come back they can speed |
| 20288s | boost but looking rather unlikely and |
| 20290s | kevster's already near that pulse and |
| 20292s | that becomes the problem of all of a |
| 20294s | sudden you're working uphill and you saw |
| 20295s | how much distance dante had to cross to |
| 20297s | even get close to paddy pan and then he |
| 20299s | just falls over with the sheer amount of |
| 20301s | damage that's coming in outlaws one more |
| 20303s | fight to be able to keep their lives |
| 20305s | their hopes alive in eichenwald |
| 20308s | nice |
| 20309s | punch by reiner and dante sending the |
| 20311s | boat to grandma dante's super low again |
| 20312s | that nade being so good from shoe stop |
| 20315s | stopping dante from getting healing and |
| 20316s | he has to pay a little bit more safe |
| 20318s | ryan it did get stunned i assume from a |
| 20319s | dante pulse but there's the stick unreal |
| 20322s | from pelican but that's the fight over |
| 20324s | that they really needed shoe with five |
| 20325s | percent away from that nano the vices |
| 20328s | coming out it's just a plain one but it |
| 20330s | still kills dante keep patty alive you |
| 20332s | should be good the nano applied can he |
| 20334s | take down merit mary is diving and |
| 20336s | dodging but he can't quite get away shu |
| 20338s | takes out last show with a big grenade |
| 20340s | and the gladiators are going to be able |
| 20341s | to defend |
| 20342s | 36 |
| 20344s | the outlaws |
| 20345s | they've got a chance to win this map but |
| 20348s | it's looking slim |
| 20350s | winneball maybe |
| 20352s | probably not they have a monumental task |
| 20354s | ahead of them to full hold the |
| 20356s | gladiators it's just do a mental reset |
| 20358s | all they have to do is full hold on this |
| 20360s | first point |
| 20362s | the problem becomes the gladiators on |
| 20364s | their last offensive cycle |
| 20366s | it wasn't close they they absolutely |
| 20368s | rolled through them and when the |
| 20369s | gladiators are playing that soldier it |
| 20371s | feels like they're able to set the tempo |
| 20373s | because it feels like the outlaws |
| 20375s | they're on that clock when you're |
| 20376s | playing that reaper he has no mid-range |
| 20378s | damage he needs to get up in their face |
| 20380s | and it's hard for him to get up in their |
| 20381s | face if they don't have that zarya |
| 20383s | bubble |
| 20384s | that's a face i like to see astro with a |
| 20387s | cheeky grin |
| 20388s | and not only that that did that healing |
| 20391s | station is crazy i wonder if they do |
| 20394s | change it a little bit later on because |
| 20395s | you just |
| 20397s | you just pop on the ground and then shu |
| 20399s | just nades the floor right next to you |
| 20401s | their healing is insane what are you |
| 20402s | saying jack now you know these soldiers |
| 20404s | can finally heal themselves the dps |
| 20406s | players can finally heal themselves and |
| 20407s | they don't have to keep spamming i need |
| 20409s | healing because they can heal themselves |
| 20410s | this is a great time for us they don't |
| 20412s | need us anymore |
| 20414s | that is true maybe we could just do more |
| 20415s | damage that's true wait it's true of |
| 20417s | course he's going to start doing more |
| 20418s | damage maybe paddy keeps putting it down |
| 20420s | because he knows he's not getting |
| 20421s | nothing |
| 20422s | yeah definitely i mean i definitely |
| 20424s | would |
| 20425s | hi maybe this time it'll work here we go |
| 20427s | camp stuff round two come on son |
| 20431s | okay |
| 20432s | it's all right |
| 20434s | pelican giving him a look we're gonna |
| 20436s | see the exact same compositions once |
| 20437s | again from the gladiators on attack and |
| 20439s | the outlaws what are the adjustments |
| 20440s | that the outlaws are going to make here |
| 20442s | on their defense you can see the reaper |
| 20443s | holding out in this glass room are they |
| 20446s | going to just maneuver around him no the |
| 20448s | gla |
| 20449s | there's a big sleep onto dante again |
| 20452s | just anti-instantly ensure funny astro |
| 20454s | escorting each other all the way back |
| 20456s | merits dante dead outlaws hopes now |
| 20459s | dwindling pelican falls and would you |
| 20461s | look at that easy fight gladiators just |
| 20464s | roll over the outlaws |
| 20466s | and now it's 2-0 that's it |
| 20468s | they're a match point now scott |
| 20470s | something might need to change the |
| 20472s | gladiators |
| 20474s | we spoke a lot about them at the start |
| 20475s | of the season that ross will look |
| 20477s | stacked they're able to play so many |
| 20478s | different compositions with the players |
| 20480s | in their lineup when you have the |
| 20482s | outlaws come in with this lineup |
| 20484s | you know what they're going to play |
| 20485s | they're going to play the dante doom but |
| 20486s | the glads currently they're getting the |
| 20489s | better of them on this doofus match up |
| 20491s | it almost feels a little one-dimensional |
| 20493s | for the houston outlaws it doesn't feel |
| 20494s | like they have that ability to mix |
| 20496s | things up when they have dante in the |
| 20497s | roster when things aren't going well it |
| 20500s | feels like the gladiators they can just |
| 20502s | pick and choose how they want to play |
| 20503s | how they want to engage what |
| 20504s | compositions they want to play so the |
| 20507s | houston outlaws maybe if they haven't |
| 20508s | pulled out the secret sauce yet maybe |
| 20510s | it's time to pull it out well we'll have |
| 20512s | to wait and see |
| 20513s | the outlaws boys looking a little bit |
| 20515s | down i'm sure the crowd could help with |
| 20516s | that |
| 20517s | we're gonna jump to a quick break we'll |
| 20519s | see in a bit |

| 20773s | the man in the myth |
| 20774s | the luchador 200 league tokens and that |
| 20779s | skin that beautiful skin it could be |
| 20780s | yours sun sail through |
| 20782s | the |
| 20783s | june 25th i have to have to look around |
| 20785s | then |
| 20786s | may 17th to 25th 200 league tokens for |
| 20790s | the luchador reaper skin looking pretty |
| 20792s | clean we're seeing a lot of reaper as |
| 20793s | well which is kind of cool yeah mara |
| 20794s | could definitely use that skin right |
| 20796s | here it puts jumping from the top rope |
| 20798s | to a whole new level when you get to |
| 20800s | play the reaper with that skin but you |
| 20802s | know this match the gladiators |
| 20804s | looking very clean so far in the kickoff |
| 20806s | clash familiar situation for the clouds |
| 20808s | being 2-0 up in a series |
| 20810s | you had to bring it up didn't you you |
| 20812s | had to bring up gladiators being up to |
| 20813s | over yes it is the familiar story the |
| 20816s | gladiators got reverse swept already |
| 20818s | this season against the dallas field and |
| 20820s | the san francisco shock the houston |
| 20822s | outlaws maybe not on the same caliber as |
| 20824s | those two teams but they're no slouches |
| 20827s | they can definitely start a reverse |
| 20829s | sweep |
| 20830s | there he is |
| 20831s | piggy coming in |
| 20833s | for the outlaws dante taking a step back |
| 20835s | this is potentially what they needed |
| 20837s | right just a quick switch up dante not |
| 20839s | doing as well as i think everybody |
| 20841s | expected him to on the doomfist so we |
| 20843s | got piggy coming in circuit royale was |
| 20846s | actually the map chosen so |
| 20849s | where's that leaders |
| 20850s | very different map type to every other |
| 20852s | one we've seen so far because it it is |
| 20854s | the one map we see a lot of widowmaker |
| 20856s | and there's the man that you want to see |
| 20858s | if we talk about widowmaker on subbing |
| 20860s | in for patty pan he's done it time and |
| 20862s | time again he did it in the 2020 season |
| 20864s | for the shock and he's been doing it |
| 20866s | this season for the gladiators |
| 20867s | definitely one of my favorite players to |
| 20869s | watch for sure |
| 20871s | just cracked |
| 20872s | on the winner there you go another face |
| 20875s | people love to see |
| 20877s | you guys space off tank for the glads |
| 20880s | and hey |
| 20880s | sega royale you're going to see some |
| 20882s | space sigma |
| 20883s | it's my boy it's my boy all the way from |
| 20885s | back in 2018 phenomenal tank player |
| 20888s | phenomenal leader for this gladiators we |
| 20890s | haven't seen him so much throughout this |
| 20892s | season because he's the off-tank player |
| 20893s | and ryan has been doing such a |
| 20894s | phenomenal job on those main tank heroes |
| 20897s | but we've seen him come in just last |
| 20899s | weekend on the sigma and hit the world's |
| 20901s | sickest prediction rock that i've seen |
| 20906s | looking clean and skewed swapping in for |
| 20908s | funny astro skewed also in that series |
| 20911s | that is just a phenomenal game on the |
| 20913s | zen he also helped space with that |
| 20915s | prediction just throw in a couple of |
| 20917s | orbs directly where the tracer recalled |
| 20918s | the head that was |
| 20920s | disgusting stuff and well |
| 20923s | we said |
| 20924s | well you know what they're running if uh |
| 20926s | dante is coming in right circuit royale |
| 20928s | in itself is like that most teams right |
| 20931s | now just running sick |
| 20934s | yeah and that becomes the thing like the |
| 20936s | houston outlaws we're definitely not |
| 20937s | going to see the doomfist we have piggy |
| 20939s | coming in |
| 20940s | so we expect to see him probably playing |
| 20942s | that sigma mirror matchup but here's |
| 20944s | shoe stats from like a welder that's |
| 20947s | that's a lot of healing that's unreal |
| 20950s | amounts of enemies slept and bio grenade |
| 20952s | kills like |
| 20954s | every single time he had that cooldown |
| 20955s | up he was throwing it and yeah it did |
| 20958s | put a nasty dent in the offense of the |
| 20961s | outlaws like dante was consistently |
| 20963s | going in he was either getting slept or |
| 20964s | naded and it's pretty tough to come back |
| 20966s | from that position especially if you've |
| 20967s | got a power block up that sleeve goes |
| 20969s | through the power block you're down on |
| 20970s | the ground you have no real defensive |
| 20972s | tools you hope you're exercising with |
| 20973s | slam and your team can back you up but |
| 20975s | it's a pretty tough situation to be and |
| 20977s | that's it and that's why so many people |
| 20979s | have been leaning towards that ana over |
| 20980s | the moira even though the maura can put |
| 20982s | up the same numbers in terms of healing |
| 20984s | and damage as we see from the ana that |
| 20985s | utility that the ana and particularly |
| 20988s | shu can put out on that hero is nuts but |
| 20991s | we go on to circle royale and the |
| 20992s | interesting thing is we're gonna see |
| 20993s | nothing like we've seen in the last two |
| 20995s | maps we have potentially double flex |
| 20997s | support coming in from the los angeles |
| 20999s | gladiators we know last row can play |
| 21001s | flex support pretty well for the houston |
| 21002s | outlaws as well yeah so i think you're |
| 21004s | going to see a lot of these players end |
| 21005s | up on their comfort heroes and a very |
| 21007s | different look to what we've seen in the |
| 21009s | series so far |
| 21011s | i'm just scared i'm going to be real |
| 21013s | would you |
| 21014s | the reverse sweep is lingering in your |
| 21016s | mind |
| 21017s | yeah yeah it's just there isn't it it's |
| 21019s | that fluttering feeling that if you're a |
| 21021s | gladiators fan |
| 21022s | but this could be the game the series to |
| 21024s | remove that curse right i mean that's a |
| 21027s | another thing to kind of think about you |
| 21028s | bring in space an unbelievable tank |
| 21030s | player like |
| 21032s | award-winning and you also have a skewed |
| 21034s | in the background the zen another |
| 21036s | cracked zen player like you expect |
| 21039s | especially the way that outpours are |
| 21040s | playing right now very aggro want to get |
| 21042s | dante into good positions want to be |
| 21043s | able to set up the reaper you know merit |
| 21045s | but |
| 21046s | you put a lot of that to rest when you |
| 21048s | have shoe in your back pocket scary |
| 21050s | stuff we should be getting into matt |
| 21052s | momentarily |
| 21053s | with circuit royale |
| 21056s | the thing that i'm looking for in this |
| 21058s | matchup we haven't seen as much merit |
| 21060s | widow so far in the league since he's |
| 21062s | come in as a rookie he's been great on |
| 21064s | that soldier we even saw some great |
| 21065s | plays from him from him on the reaper |
| 21068s | but the widow to widow head-to-head |
| 21070s | match-up is where we've seen a lot of |
| 21071s | the circuit royale maps be determined |
| 21073s | when players are able to get those long |
| 21075s | sight lines take control of the game it |
| 21077s | gets very hard for you to move around |
| 21079s | the map and as a rookie i'm sure the |
| 21081s | person i don't want to see in the lobby |
| 21083s | with me is aunts yeah it's crazy too his |
| 21087s | aim is obviously quite god-like but he |
| 21089s | took a small break and then came back |
| 21090s | and said wow i saw the same old arms you |
| 21092s | know but i mean pelican maybe has |
| 21094s | something to say in that small little |
| 21095s | door right you can put a bit of pressure |
| 21097s | on the back line as soon as that |
| 21098s | window's under pressure you'll want it |
| 21099s | gets a free ticket |
| 21101s | to kills the question that i have for |
| 21104s | this team is are we going to see a |
| 21106s | different look from the houston outlaws |
| 21108s | we talk about maybe we get this sigma |
| 21110s | head-to-head matchup |
| 21111s | houston outlaws they have shown the |
| 21113s | willingness to play rush on it before |
| 21115s | piggies ryan did get a little bit chatty |
| 21117s | dipped yeah but it was still not about |
| 21120s | look they went on to win that map we got |
| 21121s | to see some incredible hanzo play on the |
| 21123s | back of that as well it's something that |
| 21124s | you can you can't just discredit and you |
| 21126s | can't just assume they're not going to |
| 21128s | do again yeah dude |
| 21130s | jake are you in the building |
| 21133s | he's here somewhere because remember he |
| 21134s | lied to me somewhere he's here somewhere |
| 21136s | i'm looking i can't quite see him just |
| 21137s | yet but |
| 21138s | we'll have a word we'll have a word |
| 21140s | yeah i mean piggy ryan run it down i |
| 21144s | mean the sigma doesn't really want you |
| 21145s | in the face you want to stand back throw |
| 21147s | those spheres through the accretion |
| 21148s | every now and then |
| 21150s | like |
| 21151s | it's unlikely it's unlikely i think |
| 21153s | you'll see these teams go to their their |
| 21154s | comfort heroes piggy on the sigma making |
| 21157s | his debut in 2021 was very very good you |
| 21160s | know made a name for himself and that's |
| 21161s | why the houston outlaws put so much |
| 21163s | trust and faith in them but someone they |
| 21165s | also put trust and faith in is pelican |
| 21167s | the rookie of the year from last year |
| 21170s | here at amazon limbs currently second |
| 21172s | for reaper this season solo kill was |
| 21174s | sitting at |
| 21175s | a healthy number one oh i just saw |
| 21178s | someone enter the lobby yeah okay |
| 21180s | scooters in looks like both teams are |
| 21182s | almost ready to rock and roll pelican |
| 21184s | said he's crying now but no need to cry |
| 21186s | don't worry |
| 21187s | everything's fine is it fine they're |
| 21189s | down to oh jack don't don't lie to the |
| 21191s | pelican |
| 21192s | everybody's like wait why |
| 21194s | i'm sad it's okay pelican you got this |
| 21196s | you put a smile on everybody's faces |
| 21198s | when you let out a cheeky grin i won't |
| 21200s | lie |
| 21200s | it's all good it makes you wonder you |
| 21202s | know pelican starts looking at them |
| 21203s | right here why do they have merit on |
| 21205s | that hero maybe they they have to have |
| 21207s | pelican on that tracer but it just goes |
| 21209s | to show you how flexible and versatile a |
| 21211s | player like pelican is he hasn't even |
| 21214s | played what i would consider his |
| 21215s | signature heroes yeah it doesn't like |
| 21216s | we're going to go in every spam in r in |
| 21218s | the lobby there he is maybe that's the |
| 21220s | outlaws |
| 21222s | that's the secret plan that they have |
| 21224s | just pelican popping off we're going to |
| 21225s | circle right out the gladiators 2-0 up |
| 21228s | quite dominant lijiang i can build it |
| 21231s | almost a similar thing |
| 21232s | circuit royale where it could all change |
| 21235s | they need to do it again home field |
| 21236s | advantage they crush |
| 21239s | the dallas fuel three |
| 21241s | zero |
| 21242s | last time they played on land |
| 21245s | about i know a couple weeks ago they got |
| 21247s | to tap into that again and remember this |
| 21249s | is |
| 21250s | the playoffs so you get to choose your |
| 21252s | map so the houston outlaws obviously |
| 21254s | very confident in their setup for this |
| 21256s | circa royal matchup we know that the |
| 21258s | gladiators are no slouches so that must |
| 21260s | mean that the houston outlaws have some |
| 21262s | confidence in what they're about to pull |
| 21264s | out on this map |
| 21265s | [Music] |
| 21266s | they just need that fire in their |
| 21267s | bellies |
| 21270s | or some spicy ramen i don't know yeah |
| 21272s | one of those two |
| 21273s | iris on the baptist uh a hero he made |
| 21276s | his name on last year for the atlanta |
| 21278s | reign yeah obviously very good in that |
| 21280s | rush composition those double shields so |
| 21282s | you know you're confident in what |
| 21284s | they're going to produce in the back |
| 21285s | line but once again i just have to hit |
| 21287s | this home merit on this widowmaker he's |
| 21290s | coming out on it he's going to go head |
| 21291s | to head with ants but he also has to |
| 21293s | worry about kevster potentially on that |
| 21295s | hanzo when kev says hanzo |
| 21298s | pretty spicy yeah double snipe is kind |
| 21299s | of an interesting augmentation of what |
| 21301s | we're seeing on circle royale especially |
| 21303s | on defense i like it like hey that sigma |
| 21305s | shield ain't gonna last too long when it |
| 21306s | got a couple of storm arrows flying at |
| 21308s | it as well a lot of pressure on that |
| 21309s | widowmaker |
| 21310s | pelican all he needs to do is put |
| 21313s | a little bit more emphasis just trying |
| 21314s | to take down arms |
| 21316s | make them look the other way so mera has |
| 21318s | a easier time |
| 21320s | you see pelican here on this tracer as |
| 21322s | well maybe going to maneuver around the |
| 21323s | map help merit in that widow |
| 21325s | head-to-head because it creates so much |
| 21327s | space because the houston outlaws they |
| 21329s | have sorry the los angeles guys they |
| 21331s | have no space control they just have a |
| 21332s | lot a lot a lot of damage |
| 21335s | a small thing too actually i just like |
| 21337s | sonic arrow on the corner you basically |
| 21339s | give arn's walls like that's also pretty |
| 21342s | nice and multifield already burned |
| 21345s | by the outlaws extremely early and you |
| 21347s | can see what the gladiators plan is |
| 21349s | they're going to play back on this |
| 21350s | bridge and it's going to force the |
| 21352s | houston outlaws and piggy to walk |
| 21354s | forward but then as soon as you look |
| 21356s | forward arms is waiting getting those |
| 21358s | headshots in and the shield for piggy is |
| 21360s | almost non-existent yeah it's |
| 21364s | disappearing in a blink of an eye as |
| 21366s | soon as he sees it up he's just like |
| 21367s | well i just hit still matter |
| 21369s | and you're basically done though |
| 21371s | that was a nasty shot onto pelican |
| 21373s | pelican wants to be able to get on top |
| 21374s | of this bridge |
| 21377s | what are you doing he's doing this and |
| 21378s | now look piggy's off to the right-hand |
| 21380s | side but arn's just getting permit |
| 21382s | healed like what can piggy do not much |
| 21384s | behind the enemy team his shield maybe |
| 21388s | just maybe can cover their approach |
| 21392s | we see pelican make the switch over to |
| 21394s | the genji realizing that tracer flank is |
| 21396s | not going to give him space goes again |
| 21398s | he goes over the roof i don't know what |
| 21399s | that's allowed uh well no the legal move |
| 21401s | we're all good skewed dice to a head |
| 21403s | shot but both zenyatta's now down |
| 21405s | outlaws finally making their move |
| 21407s | pushing forward piggy didn't end up |
| 21408s | dying when he was on that large flank |
| 21410s | the gladiators can hold this corner |
| 21412s | though scott they do have that |
| 21414s | window available but it's on to piggy's |
| 21416s | flux to try and get something this laps |
| 21418s | gonna have to be rather huge they do not |
| 21420s | have the transcendence but it's only |
| 21422s | space in fact he's just gonna be more |
| 21424s | than fine he's just backs off it's a two |
| 21426s | step going down these streets you |
| 21427s | they've gotten the first step they've |
| 21428s | taken that space but the gladiators |
| 21430s | coming to the air matrix okay that's a |
| 21432s | lot of damage |
| 21433s | there is instantly dying double window |
| 21435s | opened up and storm irish through |
| 21437s | dragons on the high ground for a cherry |
| 21439s | on top last show has got nowhere to run |
| 21441s | should be an easy cleanup but kevster |
| 21442s | does die |
| 21444s | unfortunately should be able to get back |
| 21445s | to the point rather quickly and another |
| 21447s | nice stagger kill onto pelican that is |
| 21450s | holding down the fort |
| 21452s | it's getting harder only 90 seconds |
| 21454s | remaining for the houston outlaws |
| 21455s | pelican has struggled to get any value |
| 21457s | so far merits got a couple of nice picks |
| 21460s | but they've now utilized that flux which |
| 21462s | is their big ultimate to try and get |
| 21463s | into these fights they're going to have |
| 21465s | to try and get pelican this blade and |
| 21466s | mirror |
| 21467s | he needs to start hitting some shots |
| 21472s | for the outlaws at least they have that |
| 21473s | transcendence |
| 21476s | so they can sustain through the flocks |
| 21478s | unless you get headshot out of the sky |
| 21479s | very possible |
| 21481s | transcendence isn't going to save you |
| 21482s | there unfortunately there you go okay |
| 21484s | gladiators now playing back they don't |
| 21486s | want to run it into the sights uh |
| 21488s | this is still popping heads though this |
| 21490s | is the one two steps that i was talking |
| 21492s | about this final part of the checkpoint |
| 21493s | is where we see the most holes big flux |
| 21494s | though for today he's got flux |
| 21496s | transcendence coming out everybody is |
| 21497s | alive and well |
| 21500s | now arms up on the high ground pelican |
| 21503s | near in this blade but still skewed |
| 21504s | sitting on that transcends they should |
| 21506s | be good the payload's almost at the |
| 21507s | first checkpoint but with 40 seconds to |
| 21509s | go they are in trouble a jump not from |
| 21513s | mary but from iris and now they try to |
| 21515s | make some space but what an arrow from |
| 21517s | kevster two snipers on the field one |
| 21520s | takes out merit a transcendence from |
| 21521s | skew to push them forward and pelicans |
| 21523s | are going pretty low on the sidelines he |
| 21524s | cannot go in with his play just yet he |
| 21526s | is still so low 19 seconds to go is the |
| 21528s | gladiators use the immortality field to |
| 21530s | keep themselves alive in this fight and |
| 21532s | push past them with the window skew |
| 21534s | takes one shoe another there's the blade |
| 21536s | half hp cut down before he can even do |
| 21539s | anything space |
| 21541s | with a beautiful left hook and the |
| 21543s | outlaws with a couple of seconds to go |
| 21544s | they're not going to be able to touch |
| 21545s | what is america going to step up to the |
| 21547s | plate absolutely not the gladiators |
| 21551s | complete round one stopping the outwards |
| 21554s | couple meters before that first |
| 21555s | checkpoint pelican just not able to get |
| 21558s | healthy enough to pull that blade after |
| 21560s | that piggy uh flux which forced the |
| 21564s | skewed transcendence and then by the |
| 21566s | time that he tried to pull the blade |
| 21567s | there were already two people down |
| 21569s | unable to get any space unable to get |
| 21571s | any kills and the houston outlaws |
| 21572s | struggling to get anything done on their |
| 21574s | offensive round |
| 21577s | will the curse be broken |
| 21581s | surely surely |
| 21583s | what |
| 21586s | i mean |
| 21587s | surely |
| 21589s | never seen ever though |
| 21592s | i'm a little worried but hey this should |
| 21594s | be easy for the los angeles gladius to |
| 21597s | close out you can tell their strategy |
| 21598s | you can tell they're comfortable on that |
| 21599s | setup space coming in map three |
| 21602s | nothing on nothing on him he just comes |
| 21604s | up puts a great performance on the sigma |
| 21607s | everyone doing their job they didn't it |
| 21609s | wasn't even like they did anything nice |
| 21611s | or tricky or special they just did their |
| 21613s | jobs and the houston outlaws |
| 21615s | it's just hard but look at this |
| 21617s | we talked about the rush from the |
| 21619s | houston outlaws they could pull it out |
| 21621s | and |
| 21622s | coming from the top rope like we said |
| 21628s | i want to see if caps is going to stick |
| 21629s | on this ocean i doubt it very much they |
| 21631s | go double sniper |
| 21632s | are they going to expect it probably i |
| 21634s | mean sonic there you go you go hello |
| 21637s | what's up oh instant switch the echo i |
| 21639s | like it play super far ranger against |
| 21641s | what pelican merit sim mei |
| 21644s | not too much to be scared of |
| 21646s | cousin outlaws giving the space very |
| 21648s | early after getting spotted they just |
| 21650s | back up to the corner and this gets hard |
| 21652s | because they have no pressure on the |
| 21654s | arms they're going to have to find a way |
| 21655s | to deal with them because you could |
| 21656s | leave arms unchecked or there they go |
| 21658s | through the center |
| 21661s | that's how you deal with that range gap |
| 21663s | straight on top of his head piggy just |
| 21665s | clobbers it |
| 21669s | and that's that's the cat's out of the |
| 21671s | bag the houston outlaws they're going to |
| 21672s | play that aggressive style they're going |
| 21674s | to wait for the gladiators to step up |
| 21676s | start getting angles and then they get |
| 21677s | tp until the space is isolated yeah nice |
| 21679s | wall no immortality field piggy |
| 21683s | just carving them up right now and not |
| 21685s | only that scotch i mean look they get |
| 21687s | themselves two fights if they hold this |
| 21689s | close |
| 21690s | all of a sudden they're starting to lose |
| 21692s | time gladiators |
| 21694s | they're it's going to start getting out |
| 21695s | the way art needs to start finding some |
| 21697s | purchase finding some kicks but every |
| 21698s | time it feels like he takes that angle |
| 21700s | he gets the metric tp |
| 21704s | [Applause] |
| 21707s | it's not looking good |
| 21708s | aunts can play all the way back yeah but |
| 21710s | that teleport does work oh wow that is |
| 21712s | not |
| 21713s | good for the outlaws they lose pelican |
| 21715s | and now look the gladiators step it up |
| 21716s | to the plate they need to end this fast |
| 21718s | immortality field from iris has already |
| 21720s | been used piggy ends up going down and |
| 21722s | they go crumbling just off of one pick |
| 21724s | merrick does find the kill on his face |
| 21726s | but it doesn't really matter they have |
| 21727s | afforded themselves two fights though |
| 21729s | scott as they play too far forward |
| 21731s | exactly because they're playing forward |
| 21733s | they give themselves two fights but the |
| 21734s | spawn is so far for the houston outlaws |
| 21737s | they're going to have to close the |
| 21738s | distance and get close but they don't |
| 21739s | really have much going for them and it's |
| 21741s | going to be very hard to cover up all |
| 21742s | the angles kempster has that copy he's |
| 21745s | going to be able to play hyper |
| 21746s | aggressive and that's going to leave |
| 21747s | arms safely in the back line |
| 21752s | the blizzard coming online for pelican |
| 21754s | this wall could be big too for merit |
| 21755s | could block off a lot of that healing |
| 21757s | maybe isolate space |
| 21759s | who's the only one playing the payload |
| 21762s | parts playing a disgusting angle |
| 21764s | we've also seen true with the |
| 21765s | amplification matrix before he's made |
| 21767s | miracles happen he's done it himself |
| 21769s | there's piggies charging in wall up to |
| 21772s | try and separate space he's in trouble |
| 21773s | he goes down shoe using the window it's |
| 21775s | a fair bit of damage and look at that a |
| 21777s | tv straight on to shoe |
| 21779s | the blizzard's coming out that's an easy |
| 21781s | kill |
| 21782s | okay the outlaws making perfect use of |
| 21785s | that teleport for merits i love that |
| 21787s | play by the outlaws they actually put it |
| 21789s | down originally but didn't go through it |
| 21791s | it was a bait the entire gladiators |
| 21793s | backline turns to look at the teleporter |
| 21795s | and they were rushing down space in the |
| 21796s | front line and now we're at a minute 20 |
| 21799s | remaining and the gladiators they need |
| 21802s | to get big value out of these ultimates |
| 21804s | but look at the outlaws they have |
| 21806s | ultimates for days |
| 21808s | never say never scott |
| 21810s | double support well there's |
| 21812s | the giant wall the flux is coming out |
| 21815s | from space it does hit a couple that |
| 21816s | baits a little bit too late uh too late |
| 21819s | that beat doesn't find iris that's a lot |
| 21821s | of healing now down they have to find |
| 21822s | something crazy piggy with a shatter |
| 21824s | could come up big straight under the |
| 21825s | payload might be good but he has to get |
| 21827s | something there's the shadow it hits two |
| 21829s | but can they follow up the copy from |
| 21831s | kevster on to the may he finds the kill |
| 21834s | onto astro and that blizzard doing a |
| 21835s | whole bunch of work |
| 21836s | he's trying to kill them with the |
| 21838s | immortality feels there but the los |
| 21839s | angeles guardians they just run it |
| 21842s | [Applause] |
| 21853s | getting a little greedy with that beat |
| 21855s | not thinking they were going to require |
| 21857s | that one iris going down almost having a |
| 21860s | great frisbee moment from across the |
| 21861s | spawn to save the team but it just |
| 21863s | wasn't enough the gladiators putting on |
| 21866s | a clinic of their flexibility and their |
| 21868s | strength and hopefully as you said the |
| 21870s | end of a reverse week |
| 21872s | curse that has been plaguing them so far |
| 21874s | in the kickoff clash |
| 21877s | hey it's maybe not what the crowd wanted |
| 21880s | maybe houston uh |
| 21881s | a w here but |
| 21883s | they still get their chance of course a |
| 21885s | little bit later on they'll go down to |
| 21886s | losers bracket but uh |
| 21888s | fantastic you couldn't really ask for |
| 21889s | more right from the glad a quick and |
| 21891s | clean 3-0 icon but there was a little |
| 21893s | bit closer |
| 21895s | it felt like |
| 21896s | that secret thing that maybe jake was |
| 21898s | planning didn't really end up working |
| 21900s | out it was iris versus shoe and diana |
| 21902s | came out on top the first couple of maps |
| 21904s | you can understand what the outlaws are |
| 21906s | trying to do put a different spin on the |
| 21908s | composition they had already played they |
| 21910s | played that reaper they played that |
| 21911s | moira allowing them to potentially be |
| 21913s | more aggressive with dante to |
| 21915s | potentially stop him from getting |
| 21916s | isolated but the gladiators proving that |
| 21919s | they had an answer to what the outlaws |
| 21921s | were pushing out |
| 21926s | reiner on the stage |
| 21928s | maybe have some choice words we'll see |
| 21930s | we know he loves a little bit of banter |
| 21932s | from time to time |
| 21934s | but you know on to coming good on his on |
| 21936s | his uh confidence in this election show |
| 21939s | dominating the houston outlaws today all |
| 21941s | right let's jump down to danny though |
| 21942s | he's got an interview of rhino |
| 21945s | let's take a listen all right thank you |
| 21947s | guys yes as custom mentioned it yes i am |
| 21950s | here with ryder from los angeles |
| 21952s | gladiators everybody make some noise |
| 21954s | yeah |
| 21956s | all right |
| 21957s | uh |
| 21958s | first three overwatch of the day you |
| 21961s | guys look very dominant today um how'd |
| 21963s | you guys get it done |
| 21965s | i mean coming into this match we knew |
| 21967s | that uh dante was going to be playing a |
| 21968s | lot because you know they're the houston |
| 21970s | outlaws and they had to put a dps player |
| 21972s | on tank so |
| 21975s | our plan for this match was pretty much |
| 21977s | if dante's in expect doom his comps and |
| 21979s | we found a way to counter that by either |
| 21982s | mirroring or using that rhine comp so |
| 21984s | that was pretty much like the focal |
| 21985s | point of our victory |
| 21987s | and that definitely did work because it |
| 21989s | was three overwatch um and i do want to |
| 21991s | ask uh personally because reiner this |
| 21994s | this was your first lan event on the |
| 21996s | overwatch league you came in as a rookie |
| 21999s | and you know how did how did that feel |
| 22001s | were you nervous at all or were you just |
| 22002s | super excited to just be on stage |
| 22005s | i mean it was like a good blend of being |
| 22007s | nervous and excited you know but i do |
| 22010s | really good in these conditions you know |
| 22011s | it like gets the blood pumping |
| 22012s | adrenaline flowing i play like probably |
| 22014s | the best i do so |
| 22016s | happy to be at lan |
| 22017s | all right |
| 22020s | and one final question uh |
| 22023s | next match is against dallas fuel versus |
| 22026s | the toronto defiance and i want to ask |
| 22028s | your prediction because whoever wins |
| 22030s | that match is going to be your opponent |
| 22032s | what do you think |
| 22034s | so i'm feeling a little lucky today so |
| 22036s | we obviously play these guys next so i'm |
| 22039s | hoping for a toronto 30. |
| 22043s | oh amazing |
| 22045s | it's a mixed reaction mixed reaction i |
| 22047s | like it reiner thank you so much that is |
| 22049s | it for the postmatch interview let's go |
| 22051s | back to caster |
| 22053s | and jaws |
| 22054s | [Music] |
| 22059s | well |
| 22060s | a little bit spicy there a 3-0 |
| 22063s | for the fire is that what the crowd |
| 22065s | wants really |
| 22067s | no |
| 22068s | there's a fighting words in dallas right |
| 22070s | there |
| 22070s | i don't think anyone wants that |
| 22072s | obviously i think he just wants to face |
| 22073s | the tournament to find everyone's a |
| 22075s | little scared of the dallas fuel right |
| 22076s | now yeah they are looking rather clean |
| 22078s | and again home field advantage right |
| 22080s | maybe didn't work out for the outlaws |
| 22082s | but maybe it does work out the dallas |
| 22084s | fuel let's have a look at the player of |
| 22085s | the match though well you just spoke to |
| 22088s | him um it's gonna be rhino his doofus |
| 22091s | looked very very clean against the |
| 22093s | outlaws a team that's known for the |
| 22095s | dante doom right but also his rhino can |
| 22098s | grab clean i mean hey he's glad a man of |
| 22101s | many talents it feels like for him on |
| 22103s | the gladiators he's shown his ability to |
| 22105s | play all these things and that's been |
| 22106s | such a big food for the gladiators just |
| 22109s | being able to play that aggressive style |
| 22111s | no matter what he does going toe-to-toe |
| 22113s | with dante on the doomfist though that |
| 22115s | is no slouch of an effort |
| 22118s | yeah absolutely not |
| 22121s | i'm so glad dude is the tank now you can |
| 22123s | do some crazy things everybody's just |
| 22125s | getting better with him too which is |
| 22126s | also awesome |
| 22128s | ryan definitely deserving that one or |
| 22130s | maybe shoot those nades are pretty crazy |
| 22132s | but yeah look at that damage pretend |
| 22134s | almost at 10k |
| 22136s | 24 limbs per 10 like it was steamrolled |
| 22139s | and you could tell just in his old |
| 22140s | charge generation he was just getting it |
| 22143s | so fast almost outpacing dante from time |
| 22146s | to time and i think that's just such a |
| 22148s | big thing for the gladiators moving |
| 22150s | forward into the kickoff clash because |
| 22152s | how do you prepare for them at this |
| 22153s | point they've played everything we saw |
| 22155s | them on circle royale playing the sigma |
| 22157s | they played the reinhardt they played |
| 22158s | the doomfist they played the winston you |
| 22160s | can never know or prepare exactly what |
| 22162s | they are going to do and that's going to |
| 22164s | be scary for any team facing them |
| 22166s | extremely scary you heard danny down on |
| 22168s | the stage though |
| 22169s | whoever wins this next match will face |
| 22171s | the gladiators a little bit later on |
| 22173s | it's going to be the dallas fuel versus |
| 22174s | the toronto defiance we're going to go |
| 22176s | to a quick break though don't go |
| 22178s | anywhere that's a match you're not going |
| 22179s | to want to miss |

| 22380s | here joined by reinforced and of course |
| 22382s | nekros joining us remotely as well we |
| 22384s | got a game to break down this one |
| 22386s | however was a little bit more of a quick |
| 22389s | affair another thread in the background |
| 22391s | i don't want to brag but you know you |
| 22393s | got that one what happened nick bro come |
| 22394s | on no i'm not gonna curl how does that |
| 22396s | not work out okay okay okay listen i had |
| 22401s | to commit to the bit all right so like i |
| 22404s | don't mind if my bracket gets a little |
| 22406s | bit |
| 22407s | i still have los angeles gladiators |
| 22409s | going to the grand finals okay so |
| 22412s | oh i feel like i'm still okay |
| 22416s | all right i am not that's you you got |
| 22418s | the safety you're gonna be wrong again |
| 22420s | congrats |
| 22422s | all right okay listen i can't wait to |
| 22424s | look at your bracket honestly i feel |
| 22426s | like i have to do some investing |
| 22429s | uh |
| 22437s | i don't think so |
| 22438s | it's fishy i don't know |
| 22441s | i mean yeah never mind it's all right |
| 22443s | well we're gonna have some culinary |
| 22445s | discussions and also we will be looking |
| 22447s | at your bracket maybe tomorrow so i'm |
| 22449s | very excited for that now i do want to |
| 22451s | talk about the match we just got to see |
| 22453s | yeah pretty much |
| 22455s | again everything we predicted everything |
| 22457s | we pointed out heading into this one it |
| 22459s | kind of came true it was a gladiator |
| 22461s | showing us the versatility uh and the |
| 22463s | outlaws |
| 22465s | just a little bit more one-dimensional |
| 22466s | there necro |
| 22470s | yeah i mean you can even see just how |
| 22472s | well the los angeles gladiators were |
| 22474s | able to adapt i mean reinforced put it |
| 22476s | so well before we even hopped into this |
| 22478s | match which is that gladiators are |
| 22480s | really strategically inclined you could |
| 22482s | even see that with the hanzo counter |
| 22485s | pick coming through on circuit royale we |
| 22488s | saw kempster go with that versus piggy |
| 22491s | sigma and then on top of that you saw |
| 22493s | kepster with the quick pick of the hanzo |
| 22495s | to just you'd be able to use the sonic |
| 22496s | arrow to sniff out what the houston |
| 22499s | outlaws were going to be doing on the |
| 22501s | defense there |
| 22504s | it's tough yeah i mean it's really tough |
| 22506s | for you to houston outlaws just like on |
| 22508s | an individual level like not even like |
| 22510s | the strategies or whatever |
| 22512s | you're asking pelican to just like hey |
| 22514s | can you go uh toe to toe with uh kevster |
| 22516s | on the tracer uh real quick can you do |
| 22518s | that for us yeah well if that's not the |
| 22520s | case then well you need the houston |
| 22523s | outlaws to find something else they can |
| 22525s | invest their resources in like are you |
| 22527s | supposed to no no like a winston player |
| 22529s | well you got dante and piggy so that's |
| 22532s | also tough and well i guess you got |
| 22534s | merit who plays a really mean soldier |
| 22536s | but we saw him sometimes on the reaper |
| 22538s | here for the houston outlaws i feel like |
| 22540s | the houston outlaws just in this meta |
| 22543s | they're a pretty difficult place where |
| 22545s | you can't really have your best players |
| 22547s | in roles they really succeed in um if |
| 22549s | they wanted to lean into something like |
| 22551s | a zarya we've talked about it before you |
| 22552s | can have piggy playing the zarya and |
| 22554s | maybe you can have someone like pelican |
| 22556s | play the genji for them and then merit |
| 22558s | can roll over to the soldier but we saw |
| 22560s | last week they struggle against the |
| 22561s | paris eternal already and you don't |
| 22563s | really have enough time to practice and |
| 22565s | get something going for yourself |
| 22567s | in the playoffs yeah so it's tough for |
| 22569s | the houston outlaws i think if you're |
| 22571s | going into tomorrow's matchup |
| 22573s | i feel like you kind of just have to |
| 22574s | commit and just go all in but that's |
| 22576s | already what they sort of did with the |
| 22577s | lucio moyer right so they go up i got |
| 22579s | the masterpiece opponents as well of |
| 22581s | course in the gladiators so maybe that |
| 22583s | was yeah that's true you have a |
| 22584s | compositional mismatch |
| 22586s | yeah so but yeah as you said the |
| 22588s | turnaround time was obviously very |
| 22590s | very short for them to like just bust |
| 22592s | something else out if they're already |
| 22593s | committed to the bit and we we |
| 22595s | appreciate that you know commit commit |
| 22598s | heart and go down on that hill like why |
| 22599s | not |
| 22600s | but they could come in tomorrow and just |
| 22603s | like surprise everyone because that is |
| 22605s | the power of playing on a stage as well |
| 22607s | if you're just like well |
| 22609s | we're just going to go all in we're |
| 22610s | going to pick this composition and go |
| 22612s | all in and then your opponents are like |
| 22613s | whoa whoa what are you doing what's |
| 22615s | going on here and then you gotta figure |
| 22616s | it out and like puzzles and you know |
| 22618s | it's |
| 22618s | crazy i don't know some teams might roll |
| 22620s | up with orissa you know |
| 22622s | yeah what do we think about the orisa |
| 22623s | necro would you recommend using out of |
| 22625s | me out there |
| 22626s | tomorrow |
| 22628s | oh |
| 22629s | no |
| 22630s | no no i i don't recommend that |
| 22634s | all right |
| 22636s | all right we're not quite there |
| 22637s | desperation wise no okay all right |
| 22642s | yeah also of course there's going to be |
| 22644s | a bit of a reset of course after this |
| 22645s | tournament cycle is over heading into |
| 22647s | the next one it's going to be a new |
| 22648s | patch |
| 22650s | i was about to say |
| 22651s | change everything i'm sorry sorry |
| 22654s | that's fine but i like that the great |
| 22656s | minds think alike and i like that that's |
| 22658s | the only thing which really stuck with |
| 22660s | us for like the entirety of the patch |
| 22661s | notes like that's all interesting what's |
| 22663s | in yet i can kick though |
| 22665s | have you seen that um now we do have one |
| 22667s | more match our gladiators helped us play |
| 22670s | catch up here a little bit time-wise as |
| 22672s | i made a a quick i made it a quick for |
| 22674s | you know but we have one more for you to |
| 22676s | go and that is the toronto define taking |
| 22678s | on the dallas fuel now |
| 22681s | uh |
| 22681s | ryder already tried to rile up the crowd |
| 22684s | uh predicting a 3-0 for toronto defined |
| 22688s | i don't think he had that in his pickums |
| 22690s | to be perfectly honest do you think |
| 22692s | reiner does pick him |
| 22693s | i doubt it |
| 22694s | no of course he is everyone does pick |
| 22696s | him |
| 22697s | do you predict himself i feel like |
| 22699s | that'd be a bit like disingenuous though |
| 22701s | why against himself no |
| 22703s | he picked for toronto defines winning |
| 22706s | over the dallas fuel |
| 22708s | exactly yeah all right |
| 22714s | let's talk about the match um i mean |
| 22716s | heading into this one i think our |
| 22719s | opposite alert here is is on the lower |
| 22721s | side uh i guess um toronto defined |
| 22725s | though how could they get it done neko |
| 22726s | who do they have to rely on |
| 22730s | i think you're really looking at the |
| 22731s | back line of toronto defiant those are |
| 22734s | going to be your standout performers and |
| 22736s | especially when we're playing on |
| 22737s | overwatch too i think it's a lot easier |
| 22739s | to be able to see when the support line |
| 22741s | is doing such a good job whether it's |
| 22742s | with those bio grenades coming out for |
| 22745s | the anna's or if it's just lucio's being |
| 22747s | able to get those final blows and |
| 22750s | save the team with some incredible sound |
| 22752s | barriers that really is going to be the |
| 22754s | difference maker to be able to outlast |
| 22755s | the damage output from the dallas fuel |
| 22760s | and uh who from the dallas food is going |
| 22762s | to shut that down uh hanbin if you if |
| 22765s | you're a zarya you can apply bubbles to |
| 22767s | your team and it removes it removes the |
| 22769s | anti-healing effect so |
| 22771s | it's pretty powerful i'm just gonna sit |
| 22773s | on one turn to defiant if you land those |
| 22775s | you gotta be careful that dallas can |
| 22777s | dispel them just get rid of them and |
| 22780s | dispel them |
| 22782s | coming our way in this next match |
| 22785s | yeah you have two that's right and i do |
| 22787s | think that necro is right about the |
| 22788s | backline it is it is the strongest part |
| 22790s | of the throne to define yeah so uh no i |
| 22793s | i think necro is right there you you |
| 22794s | probably want something uh out of uh |
| 22796s | chorong on the lucio um or twilight on |
| 22799s | the owner of course definitely the |
| 22800s | strongest part of toronto defiant but |
| 22802s | dallas fuel like they're just so strong |
| 22804s | as a team like it's gonna be a very |
| 22806s | tough challenge for toronto defiance so |
| 22808s | they'll have to conjure something up |
| 22810s | very magicky in this yeah |
| 22813s | spell casting going on here yeah well |
| 22815s | you know what i appreciate it and also |
| 22816s | there's of course |
| 22818s | the lamb factor which can always pop in |
| 22821s | unexpectedly you don't know maybe |
| 22823s | hotspots a land monster jaws can tell us |
| 22825s | all about that exactly |
| 22827s | so you never know what's going to happen |
| 22828s | and that's what makes this so exciting |
| 22830s | and so interesting this is going to be |
| 22832s | the last match of the day i think the |
| 22833s | crowd is ready to make some noise get |
| 22835s | your popcorn get a drink and get ready |
| 22838s | to get hyped because toronto defined |
| 22840s | will take on the dallas uh fuel lowers |
| 22842s | up water water yeah stay hydrated as |
| 22845s | well uh we're heading back to texas |
| 22847s | right after this break |

| 23094s | welcome back |
| 23096s | to the esports stadium here at arlington |
| 23100s | our penultimate game for day number one |
| 23104s | toronto defiant |
| 23107s | up against |
| 23108s | the hometown favorites the dallas fuel |
| 23112s | it's gonna be a bang at the dallas fuel |
| 23115s | last time they were in texas |
| 23116s | maybe not doing so hot but we know |
| 23119s | they've made their redemption arc so far |
| 23121s | in the kickoff clash they've been |
| 23122s | looking very good on the back of that |
| 23124s | harm in zaya toronto defiant |
| 23127s | big task ahead of them today oh yeah i |
| 23129s | mean they recently faced off |
| 23132s | two weeks ago two weeks ago and the |
| 23134s | dallas fuel won three and oh but the |
| 23137s | thing that still sticks in my mind with |
| 23139s | dallas |
| 23140s | when they faced houston on land |
| 23143s | a little bit earlier on they got three |
| 23147s | it was a little silly though houston |
| 23148s | played the doomfist obviously didn't |
| 23150s | work today but it did work four weeks |
| 23152s | ago when we last saw them play but the |
| 23153s | dallas fuel really defined themselves |
| 23155s | they've invented the meta with the zaya |
| 23157s | reaper we've actually seen toronto |
| 23160s | mirror that composition and i wouldn't |
| 23161s | be surprised to see them have that |
| 23163s | head-to-head today but the nice thing |
| 23165s | about the toronto define if they have |
| 23166s | another look they were also willing to |
| 23168s | play muse on that winston have although |
| 23171s | come in you know we have finale also on |
| 23173s | that tracer they have different looks |
| 23175s | and i'm curious to see which one we see |
| 23176s | today i think a lot of people expected |
| 23178s | toronto to do well coming into this |
| 23181s | season there's a lot of name value on |
| 23183s | the team they've had a quite a nice |
| 23184s | schedule to be fair but then they also |
| 23187s | beat teams like the houston outlaws |
| 23190s | i mean there we go |
| 23191s | i think we better get this one underway |
| 23194s | though |
| 23194s | that's welcome the toronto defiant |
| 23212s | there's not gonna be many |
| 23215s | cheers for them in the crowd there's a |
| 23216s | few |
| 23217s | red versus blue which is always quite |
| 23219s | nice a clown toronto defiance |
| 23224s | when you look at this team you have to |
| 23226s | highlight the backline they got twilight |
| 23228s | who was a championship winner phenomenal |
| 23230s | player finally getting that mainstay |
| 23232s | spot on this team especially on that |
| 23234s | anna but then chorong has been an |
| 23236s | incredible rookie on that main support |
| 23239s | having a lot of hype coming into the |
| 23241s | league and he has delivered so far this |
| 23243s | season |
| 23244s | yeah hovers starting which is cool like |
| 23246s | you said there's a lot of different |
| 23247s | looks that toronto defined can go with |
| 23249s | in this series we'll be starting out on |
| 23252s | control |
| 23254s | so a lot of flexibility although in as |
| 23256s | well big signal that they're going to |
| 23258s | play that zaya reaper composition that's |
| 23260s | the thing that they've been leaning on |
| 23261s | when mu's finale come in they play the |
| 23263s | dive when hopper and although were in |
| 23265s | they played that zaya reaper and it's |
| 23267s | looked good and that's the thing about |
| 23268s | them they've actually adjusted learn it |
| 23271s | didn't look great at the beginning but |
| 23273s | now they've gotten to a good point and |
| 23274s | they're starting to get wins but |
| 23276s | it's very hard when you're copying the |
| 23278s | composition of the team that invented it |
| 23281s | and then you have to face off against |
| 23282s | them in the playoffs yeah really tough |
| 23284s | you hope you can improve on that |
| 23286s | invention but |
| 23288s | you know whose name was edison the |
| 23289s | inventor |
| 23290s | well |
| 23291s | edison that's for sure he's needs to be |
| 23294s | leased in this game has to be for them |
| 23295s | to start |
| 23296s | to stand a chance i think though it's |
| 23299s | time to introduce the dallas fuel we're |
| 23302s | gonna jump down to danny lim on the |
| 23304s | stage to bring out the hometown |
| 23306s | favorites |

| 23503s | casters costa and jaws |
| 23510s | cheers mate |
| 23511s | let's go dallas fuel you heard the crowd |
| 23513s | already scott man |
| 23515s | seeing players walk out like that |
| 23516s | especially someone like sparkle |
| 23519s | they're they're so loud every time |
| 23521s | sparkle walks onto the stage people |
| 23523s | cheer and we get to see him in the |
| 23524s | starting lineup today we haven't seen |
| 23527s | him as much in the kickoff clash we |
| 23529s | thought there was going to be a lot of |
| 23530s | genji but it hasn't been as much so i am |
| 23532s | surprised to see him in here because |
| 23534s | over the last few games they've had doha |
| 23536s | in to play that soldier and sparkle's |
| 23538s | been taking a backseat |
| 23541s | it's blue versus we're at dallas fuel |
| 23542s | versus the toronto defiant our final |
| 23544s | game of day number one |
| 23547s | they're ready to kick off course they |
| 23549s | are i'm been starting two on the tank |
| 23551s | roll going up against hopper |
| 23553s | you mentioned it we've seen a little bit |
| 23555s | of fearless but there zarya comp is so |
| 23559s | clean |
| 23560s | it's just immaculate how they play |
| 23562s | hanbin and edison those are the two |
| 23564s | players you have to watch if you're |
| 23565s | keeping an eye on the dallas fuel edison |
| 23567s | goes in with that teleport and then |
| 23569s | harmon bubbles him that is a problem |
| 23571s | that's a threat that the toronto definer |
| 23573s | going to have to deal with and no one |
| 23575s | has really found an answer to it so far |
| 23577s | because of how coordinated they are with |
| 23579s | it and then you have the back line of |
| 23581s | the dallas fuel as well in fielder and |
| 23582s | chio chios have been a great rookie |
| 23585s | filling in the shoes of jaxe from last |
| 23586s | year when they had those that incredible |
| 23588s | run throughout the entirety of 2021 and |
| 23590s | he has been living up to the heart |
| 23594s | all right we're going in |
| 23596s | map number one |
| 23598s | it's lijung tower |
| 23600s | it's going to be zyus running into each |
| 23601s | other reapers doing the same |
| 23607s | what's scary about the dallas fuel not |
| 23609s | only like i said being the inventor |
| 23611s | of this kind of composition |
| 23614s | now the define have to surpass they've |
| 23616s | had maybe yeah a little bit of an easier |
| 23618s | run coming into the kickoff clash but |
| 23620s | they've got such name value they have |
| 23621s | twilight in the back line like that's a |
| 23623s | massive pick up for the divine |
| 23624s | organization a team that i think expect |
| 23626s | people expecting maybe not doing so well |
| 23628s | just looking historically but this is |
| 23630s | their year to turn that around and what |
| 23632s | better way to do that than right now |
| 23635s | as we talked about two weeks ago the |
| 23637s | toronto defiant they've already taken |
| 23638s | their beat down from the dallas fuel you |
| 23640s | can take things away from that you can |
| 23642s | learn from that let's see how they're |
| 23644s | willing to adapt and move on from that |
| 23646s | loss and if they can come up with |
| 23648s | something new something different even |
| 23649s | if it's just my new micro play of |
| 23652s | understanding how to deal with the |
| 23654s | threats it looks like dallas fuel is |
| 23656s | going to come out on their trademark |
| 23658s | composition of the han bin zaya with |
| 23660s | that edison reaper and toronto defiant |
| 23662s | taking that mirror |
| 23666s | unlock those gates the dallas you'll |
| 23667s | want to meet the glads a little bit |
| 23669s | later on |
| 23671s | there we go |
| 23672s | eddie switching back to the reaper it's |
| 23675s | american |
| 23676s | just complete skill match up now and you |
| 23679s | can tell dallas fuel taking that |
| 23681s | symmetra teleporter but chio down before |
| 23683s | the fight's even begun almost instantly |
| 23685s | twilight hits a fat nade right to the |
| 23688s | back line filler and |
| 23689s | already dead okay that is how you want |
| 23692s | to start a series we talked all the big |
| 23694s | game about twilight on that honor and |
| 23696s | he's coming up big early on they need to |
| 23698s | keep that going don't give dallas fuel |
| 23700s | an inch because they will take a mile |
| 23704s | all right toronto got the point |
| 23706s | okay |
| 23708s | here it is time to show up well reiner |
| 23710s | was he right a 3-0 at the defiant |
| 23713s | i don't think it'll be that much of a |
| 23715s | clean sweep but it'll be a close game |
| 23716s | for sure dallas fuel rotating through |
| 23718s | white room |
| 23720s | trying to make their way into the point |
| 23721s | a nade from fielder doesn't quite find |
| 23724s | anything but they've got to be scared of |
| 23725s | twilight sparkle |
| 23727s | on the flank |
| 23728s | dude if you message |
| 23730s | so low looking by the point of field is |
| 23732s | dead they don't have that presence on |
| 23734s | the point right now it just feels like |
| 23735s | they're walking into the meat grinder |
| 23738s | that is the toronto defined and they |
| 23739s | haven't found any purchase look at the |
| 23741s | ultimate charge across the board |
| 23742s | twilight's coming up to that nano |
| 23744s | edison's only at 40 alt he hasn't done |
| 23747s | anything so far in this map |
| 23755s | what are we gonna see here from the |
| 23756s | dallas fuel |
| 23757s | [Applause] |
| 23762s | yeah it's good to be back |
| 23764s | you know who the crowd is behind there's |
| 23766s | the nano onto harmon close to that grab |
| 23768s | use the bubble to cleanse himself and |
| 23770s | kills twilight sparkle using that visor |
| 23772s | for some covering fire but can you get |
| 23774s | damage done okay |
| 23777s | everybody sucked on in at the dallas |
| 23779s | fuel it looked like a good start to the |
| 23781s | team fight but hopper coming up huge hot |
| 23784s | ball with an enormous graviton surge the |
| 23787s | dallas fuel getting a head full of steam |
| 23789s | with that first pick off and then hop up |
| 23791s | but hits the brakes on that one the |
| 23793s | silver lining if you are dallas toronto |
| 23795s | defiant has used their bag of tricks |
| 23797s | dallas fuel now have that graviton |
| 23799s | search for hanbin is he going to be able |
| 23800s | to find the same bit of value there's a |
| 23802s | lucio behind them right now |
| 23804s | you step up to the plate son you're |
| 23806s | going to get some hopper ends up going |
| 23808s | down using that beat to re-engage he's |
| 23811s | who tried to get a little bit funny with |
| 23813s | it and get to the back line but it |
| 23814s | wasn't successful the toronto defiant |
| 23817s | yeah they're on 90 plus percent for the |
| 23819s | fuel they want to fight and they're here |
| 23821s | to stay i thought i saw true wrong |
| 23823s | hiding in the corner through with a |
| 23825s | little silhouette in the back toronto |
| 23826s | defiant recognizing they're at a |
| 23828s | disadvantage going for something a |
| 23830s | little different playing for that flank |
| 23831s | trying to punish but han bin with a |
| 23833s | great grab and a great response of the |
| 23835s | aggression by chio with the sound |
| 23836s | barrier so now dallas fuel have the |
| 23838s | positioning they can't drop another |
| 23840s | fight he's who has that death blossom so |
| 23842s | does edison how the toronto defiant |
| 23844s | going to enter onto this point because |
| 23846s | they have to make this slow bit of |
| 23848s | aggression |
| 23849s | and harmon already has a bit of energy |
| 23851s | going for it |
| 23852s | trying to find you know the cam weight |
| 23854s | so while it's very close to the nano |
| 23857s | death blossom available for his wedding |
| 23859s | tv straight to the back does he get any |
| 23860s | damage done a little bit use that right |
| 23862s | for him to get away edison the same so |
| 23864s | both reapers having to play a little bit |
| 23866s | more cyber edison a little bit less so |
| 23868s | there's the nano the speed |
| 23870s | and the kills for edison picking up his |
| 23873s | with twilight yeah long gone |
| 23875s | the dallas fuel |
| 23877s | holding it down |
| 23879s | edison proving why he said in an |
| 23880s | interview recently i'm the best designer |
| 23883s | in the league right now absolutely |
| 23884s | putting on a show we saw history try and |
| 23886s | go in early as well take that bubble but |
| 23889s | as soon as he came out of that that |
| 23890s | teleport you instantly have to rake out |
| 23893s | edison on the other hand waiting with |
| 23894s | open arms and sparkles down from across |
| 23896s | the map from although with a great helix |
| 23898s | rocket |
| 23899s | you cannot let that happen but look at |
| 23900s | that instantly response from the fuel |
| 23904s | geo getting the boubon to twilight |
| 23906s | unfortunately |
| 23907s | harm been a little bit too deep |
| 23909s | nanoboost wasn't another bird by |
| 23912s | no way can you let this happen although |
| 23914s | try to come back with the fighter but |
| 23916s | sparkles got a better one that's a |
| 23918s | double kill the dallas fuel planting |
| 23920s | their feet firmly on the point |
| 23923s | the toronto defiant lose two people to a |
| 23925s | booth |
| 23927s | dallas fuel |
| 23928s | proving wide doesn't matter what you do |
| 23930s | to them they always have an answer what |
| 23932s | you provide the rookie chio coming up |
| 23934s | big with two incredible boots and the |
| 23936s | veteran sparkle putting the nail in the |
| 23938s | coffin with the visor han bin getting |
| 23939s | close that grab but hopper's got another |
| 23941s | one is he going to go huge over time is |
| 23943s | here 99 to 98 this could be a full |
| 23945s | blowout for the defiant the graviton |
| 23947s | surge in the back |
| 23948s | hover can't do much he's stuck inside |
| 23951s | hanbin's grab dallas fuel used that beat |
| 23953s | to push them forward and although he's |
| 23955s | now dead the defined they've got the |
| 23957s | death blossom to use but spark will just |
| 23959s | dishing out the damage and that harm |
| 23961s | been jumped into the pipeline but |
| 23963s | where did that come from a triple death |
| 23965s | blossom |
| 23966s | to end the dallas fuel are you serious |
| 23969s | a tp on to the body man just paying |
| 23972s | respects give him the little clap |
| 23974s | he sue |
| 23976s | massive play at the very end to clutch |
| 23978s | the round hopper getting a little bit |
| 23980s | greedy with that graviton surge trying |
| 23982s | to throw to the back line absolute whiff |
| 23984s | and then he's who heard me chirping |
| 23985s | about edison heard edison chirping a |
| 23988s | little bit about the reaper and says |
| 23989s | i'll do it myself absolutely clutch play |
| 23992s | from the defiant and this is an |
| 23993s | important first round from the defiant |
| 23995s | because that sets the tone for the rest |
| 23997s | of the match we know you've invented |
| 23999s | this xy composition we know this is how |
| 24001s | you like to play we're gonna do it but |
| 24003s | we're gonna do it better |
| 24008s | [Music] |
| 24008s | [Applause] |
| 24012s | dallas trying to get behind their fans |
| 24013s | right now let's have a look at how that |
| 24015s | ended up going down oh perfectly placed |
| 24018s | in the doorway |
| 24020s | god that was a clean tp |
| 24023s | they go dallas few now switching off the |
| 24024s | composition scott they're going on the |
| 24025s | may instead it makes sense that might be |
| 24027s | why sparkle is the lineup right now so |
| 24029s | they could play this may set up you see |
| 24031s | them getting that first point advantage |
| 24033s | getting control of the white room but |
| 24034s | he's who's going in little tp he doesn't |
| 24036s | really have too many bubbles at his back |
| 24038s | but already takes out sparkle with that |
| 24040s | removed you don't get the walls to |
| 24041s | isolate the rest of the team nice sleep |
| 24042s | but a return sleep in fact but a fielder |
| 24044s | stops isu from finishing off hanbin |
| 24047s | although still |
| 24048s | dishing out a ton of damage like |
| 24051s | it's impressive at that point too i mean |
| 24052s | you lost sparkle you can't separate the |
| 24055s | team and then all those just free firing |
| 24057s | that is that big difference between the |
| 24058s | mate and the soldier that soldier just |
| 24060s | pumps out so much sparkle getting caught |
| 24062s | off guard with that aggression by heisu |
| 24064s | and now they need to find some better |
| 24066s | walls he is charged up and ready to go |
| 24069s | chio gets naded and unfortunately |
| 24071s | although he finishes them off i've been |
| 24072s | still doing a fair bit of work can they |
| 24074s | come back fielder goes down sparkle and |
| 24076s | edison just so low |
| 24080s | losing a fight back to back you know |
| 24082s | what that hey happened last round maybe |
| 24084s | it can happen again trying to define |
| 24086s | looking good so far nano boost and the |
| 24089s | grab coming up the exact same story from |
| 24091s | last round it feels like dallas school |
| 24093s | is just walking into a meat grinder |
| 24095s | toronto recognizes they're playing |
| 24096s | tomate setting up that disengage and |
| 24098s | then dallas fuel are dying before they |
| 24100s | can even really get in the fight but |
| 24102s | we're starting to get ultimates up |
| 24103s | twilight with a nano boost builder with |
| 24105s | the nano boost how are they going to put |
| 24106s | these up a humble with another graph if |
| 24108s | it's following last round we're going to |
| 24109s | see a big one now the boost on to harm |
| 24111s | been he's very charged up there's a wall |
| 24113s | to isolate can the defense respond yes |
| 24116s | they can with a grab sparkle was caught |
| 24118s | in it too puts himself in ll ice cube |
| 24120s | but doesn't end up surviving the |
| 24122s | onslaught of damage to follow |
| 24124s | the toronto define off the back of a |
| 24125s | grab win that fight |
| 24128s | sixty percent of building but dallas |
| 24130s | fuel coming back not only with a grab |
| 24132s | they got blizzard beat and potentially |
| 24135s | the death bottom two they have the |
| 24136s | ultimate toronto committed a lot to that |
| 24138s | they use the graveton surge of the beat |
| 24139s | and the nano themselves so this has to |
| 24141s | be a must win fight for the dallas fuel |
| 24144s | especially as we watch the percentage |
| 24145s | tick up 80 this is last fight territory |
| 24148s | they need to turn this around the beat |
| 24150s | to counter the flanking visor the |
| 24152s | graviton surge on point they're still |
| 24154s | using their overhealth and they should |
| 24155s | be good nice made by fielder finishes |
| 24157s | off hopper although playing so far back |
| 24160s | knows he hasn't got a tank to stand |
| 24161s | behind now a good little flank does kill |
| 24163s | edison but can he do much more doesn't |
| 24165s | look like it the dallas fuel only burn |
| 24168s | two ultimates in that fight to flip the |
| 24170s | point that was a big team fight win from |
| 24172s | the dallas fuel right there as you said |
| 24174s | only using the beat only using the |
| 24176s | graveton search they had those big |
| 24178s | may ultimate and death awesome okay |
| 24180s | sparkle needs to find something with |
| 24182s | this bed this may ultimate he needs to |
| 24184s | find the wall and they're going early |
| 24186s | the wall is down edison is out |
| 24189s | didn't want to match up against his |
| 24191s | especially with the the back up he's |
| 24193s | pumping it death blossom available but |
| 24195s | he hits it first a nice sleep on to |
| 24197s | heartbeat can't apply those shields that |
| 24199s | blizzard's separating everybody though |
| 24200s | and sparkle kills twilight harm been |
| 24203s | trying to get damage in and he manages |
| 24205s | to help sparkle finish off although but |
| 24208s | hopper cleans him up the dallas fuel on |
| 24210s | their last limbs on this point they've |
| 24211s | got to stop history from doing the |
| 24213s | damage the wall will do just that but |
| 24215s | field that gets run down by hopper a |
| 24217s | nice little double kill oh edison |
| 24219s | somehow gets the kill onto hopper in |
| 24220s | fact hopper couldn't quite escape and |
| 24222s | she who comes to the rescue the dallas |
| 24224s | fuel are still in fifty percent now |
| 24227s | you're coming to the rescue again always |
| 24230s | coming in clutch great play by edison |
| 24231s | recognizing dies early in that fight but |
| 24234s | comes back puts that hammer down but |
| 24236s | once again we talk about it the hopper |
| 24238s | grab it needs to be better than it was |
| 24240s | last round |
| 24242s | i'm in switched over now to the doomfist |
| 24244s | look at that unreal nade hits he's one |
| 24246s | although he sue pops that rape cleanses |
| 24249s | the name but you can't cleanse the |
| 24250s | damage son dallas fuel |
| 24253s | just demolishing the defiant in the |
| 24255s | neutral |
| 24256s | 75 this is last fight territory scott |
| 24260s | i want to see something different from |
| 24261s | dallas they need to catch the toronto |
| 24263s | defiant off-guard if they just take this |
| 24265s | fight head-to-head they don't have the |
| 24267s | ultimates to close it out this is final |
| 24268s | fight territory dallas have nothing in |
| 24271s | the tank i want to see something |
| 24273s | different maybe aggression with this |
| 24274s | chio sound barrier to catch the define |
| 24276s | off guard wow hover |
| 24278s | almost instantly killed on the walker |
| 24280s | there you go |
| 24281s | there's the beat that's what you want |
| 24283s | but that's a massive ground can they do |
| 24284s | the damage i don't think they can the |
| 24286s | wall is going to stop a lot of it coming |
| 24287s | through too the dallas fuel fire on the |
| 24289s | back line of the toronto defiance |
| 24291s | they're scattering they still need to |
| 24293s | touch the point a tracer pick from |
| 24294s | although to get there in time but he's |
| 24296s | soon unlikely now to do anything in this |
| 24299s | next fight he's dead it's up to although |
| 24302s | and charon to get back twilight has got |
| 24304s | the nano in 10 but it's up to sparkle in |
| 24306s | this little 1v1 |
| 24308s | chorong is here and so is twilight in |
| 24312s | fact |
| 24314s | although can although one clip he's |
| 24315s | trying to hanbin puts up the fists and |
| 24317s | says not today |
| 24319s | ot still in session as the dallas fuel |
| 24321s | are coming back in death blossom |
| 24323s | approaching for the defiance but they've |
| 24325s | lost twice first yet again the nano one |
| 24327s | to edison that's a whole bunch of damage |
| 24329s | they're focusing down hopper and they |
| 24331s | finish the kill and they might just |
| 24333s | finish the job over time is here |
| 24336s | defiantly no more |
| 24338s | and the fuel |
| 24339s | they're tying up |
| 24342s | great composure from the dallas fuel |
| 24344s | right there recognizing their win |
| 24345s | condition going aggressive not making |
| 24348s | the same mistakes they did last time |
| 24349s | kept hissu in chip |
| 24351s | they got the crowd behind them right now |
| 24353s | they're feeling good |
| 24355s | once i said earlier you give dallas fuel |
| 24357s | an inch they will take a mile and dallas |
| 24359s | fuel managed to claw their way back in |
| 24361s | that round from what started to be a |
| 24362s | shaky one |
| 24364s | and again you're |
| 24365s | making it 90 plus percent if you're |
| 24367s | toronto fine you did it once you've got |
| 24369s | gardens |
| 24371s | couldn't do it again on control center |
| 24372s | will the same thing happen |
| 24375s | all right hello night market now |
| 24378s | is sparkle going to come out on the may |
| 24380s | he's he's doing he's on the symmetra |
| 24381s | right now i doubt he'll commit to that |
| 24383s | just teleports out is he going to commit |
| 24385s | to the main no going over to the soldier |
| 24386s | so we're going to have a complete mirror |
| 24388s | in this first fight dallas you'll get |
| 24390s | positioning first with that symmetra |
| 24392s | teleport and they're holding that corner |
| 24394s | we have a sleep on hopper who's not able |
| 24396s | to take that positioning and using |
| 24398s | bubbles for energy that's the one main |
| 24400s | difference we see between the dallas |
| 24402s | fuel and the toronto fire in the past |
| 24404s | poppa likes to use those bubbles |
| 24405s | personally to get energy while harmon |
| 24407s | likes to give it to edison hoppers |
| 24409s | found his way to the point the turin to |
| 24411s | fight going to get the first cap but |
| 24412s | dallas do have something to say about it |
| 24415s | they do contest although on a sick |
| 24416s | flight nice nade from twilight it's a |
| 24419s | pretty even fight so far and hanbin has |
| 24422s | slept for a brief moment a wake up from |
| 24425s | although he's trying to dance around |
| 24427s | look at that the healing station too |
| 24428s | strong can't let he find the kill he |
| 24430s | does although he's dead he's being |
| 24432s | escorted along by jio but now shio's |
| 24434s | doing the damage that's needed the |
| 24436s | the the defiant they're sitting on the |
| 24437s | point scott but they've got no healers |
| 24439s | left twilight went down so early and |
| 24441s | edison with not only the passive but jio |
| 24444s | just healing him throughout this fight |
| 24446s | it's so hard for the defiant to do |
| 24448s | anything she's picking up so many kills |
| 24450s | his life eventually put to an end but |
| 24452s | the dallas fuel they take the point we |
| 24454s | always talk about sparkle we talk about |
| 24456s | edison we talk about hanbin chido's |
| 24459s | making his name known right now |
| 24461s | absolutely having those crucial |
| 24462s | mid-fight impacts getting those kills |
| 24465s | staying alive more importantly and |
| 24467s | closing out these fights and dallas fuel |
| 24469s | need that because trying to find keep |
| 24471s | finding these first picks somehow |
| 24473s | piece who is so far behind |
| 24475s | in terms of old charge right now 50 to |
| 24478s | edison's alt there you go death blossom |
| 24480s | in the back he gets one sparkle finishes |
| 24483s | another the dallas fuel |
| 24485s | they're gonna wipe toronto to find |
| 24487s | they're gonna have to go again and it's |
| 24488s | the first time in fact the dallas field |
| 24490s | have won a first fight so |
| 24492s | they're pretty happy with themselves |
| 24493s | edison goes down but the damage was done |
| 24496s | at that point and that's the |
| 24496s | coordination between hanbin and edison |
| 24498s | that we know and love edison goes in |
| 24501s | gets that bubble and edison is just able |
| 24503s | to lift just long enough to get some of |
| 24505s | those kills and close out that fight and |
| 24506s | that's just a one ultimate fight win |
| 24508s | trying to find trying to get through the |
| 24509s | stroke again |
| 24511s | graviton surge is coming online hopper a |
| 24513s | percentage point away beautiful sleep |
| 24516s | onto |
| 24517s | it it was almost too easy wraith form |
| 24519s | and a health pack will heal him up a |
| 24520s | graviton surge from hopper gets little |
| 24523s | to nothing a nice beat from chio and now |
| 24525s | the dallas fuel |
| 24527s | knowing they can just back off hey look |
| 24529s | at that that's that's a lot of damage |
| 24530s | from his super we can just run away they |
| 24532s | come straight back to the point and the |
| 24534s | dallas fuel negates so many ultimates |
| 24536s | defines bank basically empty |
| 24539s | the fuel down still in control yeah |
| 24541s | great disengaged by the dallas still |
| 24542s | recognizing they're losing that fight |
| 24544s | and then they re-engage hopper gets too |
| 24546s | aggressive right there expecting they |
| 24548s | need to get to this point a little bit |
| 24550s | of desperation if anything dallas fuel |
| 24552s | closed it out and as you said toronto |
| 24554s | has nothing left in the tank other than |
| 24555s | the history death blossom they're gonna |
| 24557s | have to find magic because there's 10 |
| 24559s | remaining and dallas fuel holding |
| 24560s | aggressive he's done it once can he do |
| 24562s | it again at the very end of the round 95 |
| 24566s | define need to touch looks like although |
| 24568s | switch to the tracer to do just that so |
| 24570s | it's going to be a 5v4 in this choke |
| 24572s | point but dallas fuel working their way |
| 24575s | back they know maybe they need to be a |
| 24576s | little bit scared of heesu but it's |
| 24578s | where he teleports and where he |
| 24580s | positions himself is going to be what's |
| 24581s | in there he goes straight to the back |
| 24583s | he's got a bubble on top but instantly |
| 24584s | the dallas fuel just burning him down |
| 24586s | that ultimate completely negated a nice |
| 24589s | nano boost onto harbin he's not that |
| 24590s | charged up but he's still doing damage |
| 24592s | hopper and twilight take out sparkle |
| 24594s | with edison as now he's a three on three |
| 24596s | and twilight now in trouble make that a |
| 24598s | two on three harmon still holding down |
| 24601s | the fort charon can continue to touch |
| 24603s | but the graviton surge online for |
| 24604s | heartbeat just throw it at him you know |
| 24606s | they have to continue this fight the |
| 24609s | defiant found the flip somehow and |
| 24611s | they're building up percentage but |
| 24616s | not where you want to be |
| 24618s | dallas fuel with 99 and ot ticking |
| 24620s | through hopper with the graviton surge |
| 24622s | he's 10 away but can he actually survive |
| 24625s | a nice little double b through the |
| 24626s | window okay what is this tony hawk |
| 24628s | a part nice post bomb from although it's |
| 24630s | good but hard been just rushing down the |
| 24633s | back line twilight is in trouble keeping |
| 24635s | the rest of his team alive but so is |
| 24637s | sharon jorah gets nano so he can use the |
| 24639s | beat hopper coming back strong too |
| 24642s | somehow |
| 24644s | such a scrappy fight |
| 24646s | is won by the toronto defiant they're |
| 24647s | going to find the flip and build |
| 24649s | percentage timely |
| 24650s | moment for the toronto fight to get all |
| 24652s | their ultimates the unfortunate part of |
| 24654s | that is they use all of them in the |
| 24656s | panic of that final fight it's not the |
| 24658s | worst thing obviously you need to win |
| 24660s | the fight but now dallas fuel coming in |
| 24662s | with a wealth of ultimates sparkle on |
| 24664s | that visor is going to force so much |
| 24666s | positioning from the defiant put them in |
| 24668s | that corner and edison is going to close |
| 24669s | that at that door with the death blossom |
| 24671s | keep an eye out for that here we go |
| 24672s | spark with the visor there's the visor |
| 24673s | he's playing rather safe edison's been |
| 24675s | slapped but instant death blossom and in |
| 24677s | fact |
| 24678s | boston disappearing completely oh nice |
| 24680s | little boot does that double kill no |
| 24682s | it's just one it's twilight |
| 24684s | unfortunately the dallas fuel is still |
| 24685s | bleeding not burning blue right now |
| 24688s | definer holding down the four and look |
| 24690s | at that edison got slept mid death |
| 24692s | blossom and sparkles visor found little |
| 24694s | to nothing twilight sleeps edison going |
| 24696s | into that fight that is the crucial |
| 24698s | moment of that fight edison isn't able |
| 24700s | to get that space has to force it late |
| 24702s | into the fight and some great |
| 24703s | composition and play by the defiant |
| 24705s | backline to stay alive now dallas fuel |
| 24707s | they don't have those ultimates anymore |
| 24709s | and we're going into very close |
| 24710s | everybody but first twilight down in the |
| 24712s | middle of all eyes looking towards the |
| 24714s | supports twilight taking down so early |
| 24717s | the bubbles from hot but just not there |
| 24719s | to save his life the defiant they need |
| 24721s | to touch ot is here and the dallas fuel |
| 24724s | just run over them in the last few |
| 24727s | seconds they're gonna take map number |
| 24729s | one in the series |
| 24731s | almost a little too easy just walked in |
| 24733s | the front door somehow get twilight |
| 24735s | caught with his cool with his pants down |
| 24737s | in the dallas fuel |
| 24738s | clutch is always closing out the first |
| 24740s | map |
| 24744s | beautiful stuff so far |
| 24748s | the crowd going a little bit crazy but |
| 24750s | why wouldn't you those two unreal close |
| 24753s | rounds to start off the series there are |
| 24755s | signs of life in the toronto defiant |
| 24757s | right there they were the 60 coming in |
| 24759s | and dallas fuel chose them to be their |
| 24761s | opponent today |
| 24763s | we're going to jump into a quick break |
| 24765s | got hybrid coming up next don't go |
| 24767s | anywhere |

| 25055s | here the kickoff clash scott |
| 25058s | they're in the hometown like this is |
| 25060s | where you want to be right and you want |
| 25062s | to see |
| 25062s | [Music] |
| 25063s | dallas taking it however |
| 25066s | defiant they're also looking pretty good |
| 25068s | happy birthday yes it's about they too |
| 25071s | we just wish him we just did a happy |
| 25072s | birthday song in the stadium |
| 25075s | we wish him well we're not seeing him |
| 25076s | right now though sparkle is in the |
| 25078s | lineup and doing quite well it's a it's |
| 25080s | a look that we haven't seen from the |
| 25081s | dallas fuel so far but as you said the |
| 25083s | toronto defiant |
| 25085s | not going down without a fight they look |
| 25087s | much improved and this series is much |
| 25089s | closer than i think a lot of people |
| 25091s | anticipated so far yeah toronto was |
| 25093s | hitting both like 99 on the first two |
| 25095s | rounds could have taken it i mean he sue |
| 25098s | came up with a massive death blossom 3k |
| 25101s | at the very end of gardens to secure |
| 25102s | them that map |
| 25105s | well |
| 25106s | everybody's favorite music in the game |
| 25107s | right now |
| 25108s | it's about |
| 25110s | we're going to midtown as our next map |
| 25113s | no substitutions like you said scott so |
| 25116s | same |
| 25117s | kind of thing we're going to be seeing i |
| 25119s | would expect to see the exact same |
| 25121s | mirror composition as we saw no reason |
| 25122s | to change yeah if you're the toronto |
| 25124s | defiant i think they were in the |
| 25125s | driver's seat for most of that map so |
| 25128s | they should be confident it's about the |
| 25129s | little mistakes the little things that |
| 25131s | seem to go by the wayside and you have |
| 25133s | to always account for that clutch dallas |
| 25136s | fuel moment it's what makes them a |
| 25138s | championship contender |
| 25141s | number two sea versus number six |
| 25143s | [Music] |
| 25146s | [Applause] |
| 25148s | a lot of people burning blue in the |
| 25150s | audience right now |
| 25153s | toronto defiant at the sixth seed i |
| 25155s | don't think |
| 25156s | a lot of people came into this season |
| 25158s | with high expectations it's the best |
| 25160s | time |
| 25161s | the best roster that toronto define has |
| 25163s | ever put forward they have great talent |
| 25166s | they have a deep roster and they have |
| 25168s | the potential to play anything but |
| 25169s | they've found their stride with desire |
| 25171s | composition and it feels like hopper has |
| 25174s | improved |
| 25175s | week on week and his synergy with he's |
| 25178s | to win although has improved week on |
| 25180s | week and we're starting to see a team |
| 25182s | that maybe someone |
| 25184s | expecting to be as good this in this |
| 25187s | kickoff clash land starting to sort of |
| 25189s | make waves against the dallas fuel |
| 25192s | farewell could be twilight's to an |
| 25193s | exceptional two oh yeah onto the honor |
| 25196s | but you expect that brent |
| 25198s | we knew that was coming oh big flank |
| 25200s | sparkle and shio just kind of poking |
| 25202s | their little heads out around the corner |
| 25204s | i've been trying to make some space but |
| 25207s | i'm stopping him |
| 25209s | i wonder if this is going to like kind |
| 25210s | of tp across |
| 25212s | and just go for something rather special |
| 25215s | that was close oh how does that happen |
| 25219s | i'm sorry chorong is down twilight had |
| 25221s | to name himself and hopper to keep them |
| 25223s | alive |
| 25224s | now you lose your speed and you're gonna |
| 25225s | have to regroup at a choke point but |
| 25228s | it's a bit difficult when you split up |
| 25229s | this far you can see the dow still just |
| 25231s | slowly manipulating their movement |
| 25232s | trying to get towards that point they |
| 25234s | need to dislodge although from this high |
| 25236s | ground though and i believe we just saw |
| 25237s | edison go into the window but chiyo as |
| 25239s | always somehow getting the kills |
| 25241s | securing the kills over and over and |
| 25243s | over again twilight trouble one hp han |
| 25246s | bin |
| 25247s | in a 2v1 it takes them out but eyes |
| 25251s | and that's point a |
| 25254s | taken by the dallas fuel what a pick to |
| 25256s | start us off charon going down like that |
| 25258s | not what you want just can't happen |
| 25261s | it just can't happen truly wrong that's |
| 25263s | the lucio one of the most survivable |
| 25264s | players |
| 25265s | heroes on this team he can't be going |
| 25268s | down first touring to find trying to |
| 25269s | hold that such a defensible position on |
| 25271s | the high ground but dallas fuel just |
| 25273s | methodically picking it apart getting |
| 25275s | the first point pretty quickly |
| 25277s | super nice but well i mean right uh |
| 25279s | trying to find at least at the high |
| 25280s | ground maybe not for long term |
| 25285s | i still boo from chio could send them to |
| 25287s | the ground but unlikely just uh the |
| 25288s | amount of damage across the antenna a |
| 25290s | little bit difficult |
| 25292s | all right coming up to the first |
| 25293s | ultimate nano visor |
| 25295s | for the fuel nice aid onto twilight |
| 25297s | trunk again sparkle just hiding it |
| 25303s | can they stop any damage being done |
| 25306s | twilight in trouble nice grab but it |
| 25308s | doesn't stop him the dallas fuel |
| 25311s | more than happy to take that trade |
| 25313s | harper ends up dying and the fuel on top |
| 25316s | on the high ground just need to find the |
| 25319s | cleanup kills |
| 25321s | although trying to make it difficult but |
| 25323s | what a play for spartans jumping up off |
| 25326s | onto the top rope basically that's a |
| 25328s | first never seen that done before that |
| 25330s | was that was great play by sparkle one |
| 25332s | of the hardest things about attacking |
| 25333s | that point is contesting them on that |
| 25335s | high ground if you rocket jump onto |
| 25337s | there it got done you saw that |
| 25339s | aggression force hopper into the ground |
| 25340s | but they didn't have an answer to the |
| 25342s | damage now dallas fuel holding this |
| 25344s | stroke making it so the trophy can't |
| 25346s | walk in but they have a nano visor of |
| 25347s | their own how are they going to mitigate |
| 25349s | this nice |
| 25351s | the beast going to come through from |
| 25352s | both teams no one going down down that |
| 25354s | fast i say that oh my god pogba got |
| 25356s | obliterated |
| 25358s | on the flank is uh edison or at least |
| 25360s | try to kisu doing a fair bit of work for |
| 25363s | toronto to find they're holding it down |
| 25365s | but once again how is this guy just |
| 25367s | continuing to run rampage nice little |
| 25370s | death bottom as a kunderstorm a bit of |
| 25373s | revenge from the heath |
| 25375s | great play by cheer once again that |
| 25378s | aggression that pick forces that death |
| 25380s | blossom out of his so now all of a |
| 25382s | sudden they have nothing left in the |
| 25384s | tank once again dallas fuel though so |
| 25386s | narrowly getting at 0.0.3 |
| 25389s | meters i'm sorry but the dallas fuel |
| 25391s | building up those ultimates again the |
| 25393s | sparkle almost back of that night |
| 25394s | advisor in edison with the death blossom |
| 25396s | and they're already taking that space |
| 25398s | and defiant has to bend back |
| 25400s | they're pretty tough they're trying to |
| 25403s | make sure edison doesn't get a free path |
| 25405s | or a free teleport into the back line i |
| 25407s | say that there's the nano a nice bubble |
| 25409s | onto although but it wasn't enough to |
| 25411s | stop the impending damage to highlight |
| 25413s | now |
| 25414s | in shambles |
| 25416s | the dallas fuel just run over that fight |
| 25419s | that was over before they even knew it |
| 25422s | the understanding of the dallas fuel |
| 25423s | knowing that edison he in he got bubbled |
| 25426s | he got nanoed literally a parting gift |
| 25429s | from everyone on the dallas fuel and |
| 25430s | edison just opens it up toronto defined |
| 25432s | don't have an answer and he didn't even |
| 25434s | use the death blossom just that |
| 25436s | aggression gives them that space and |
| 25437s | dallas fuel are going through midtown at |
| 25439s | a blistering pace right now yeah kind of |
| 25441s | crazy |
| 25442s | what three minutes and 40 seconds in the |
| 25444s | time bank that's the death blossom nice |
| 25446s | poop but goodbye he soon goodbye |
| 25449s | twilight the dallas fuel not letting go |
| 25452s | of this tempo at all they're just |
| 25454s | continually forcing these fights scott |
| 25457s | and this is the thing that no one has |
| 25458s | ever had an answer to with the dallas |
| 25460s | fuel they just keep going edison never |
| 25462s | stops he throws his body on the line he |
| 25464s | is that frontliner as the reaper and |
| 25467s | that synergy between harmon and edison |
| 25468s | coming in clutch again |
| 25470s | visor available from sparkle |
| 25473s | he's who dies to a helix rocket the |
| 25475s | toronto defiant they send out the grab |
| 25477s | can it find anything i mean sparkles |
| 25479s | just on the side doing the dirty work |
| 25482s | for toronto to fight they're all in |
| 25484s | sport the dallas fuel of rolling this |
| 25486s | payload home that time bank just ticked |
| 25488s | below three minutes but this is unreal |
| 25491s | speed from them right now they might as |
| 25493s | well be driving an airport |
| 25495s | he's dead before the fight even start |
| 25496s | the last fight hoppers moved over to the |
| 25498s | doomfist beautiful nade though onto the |
| 25499s | back line and chio's life the toronto |
| 25501s | device still have a chance a grab from |
| 25503s | hanbin the damage is there sparkle |
| 25506s | basically in melee range he was ready to |
| 25508s | go straight off the back of that grab |
| 25510s | the dahalas fuel just running at this |
| 25512s | one home is only housto and charong left |
| 25516s | they clean up the reaper and they clean |
| 25518s | in-house |
| 25520s | two minutes and 25 seconds |
| 25523s | for a completion of midtown |
| 25525s | that is fast |
| 25529s | wow |
| 25530s | we thought that toronto defined had an |
| 25532s | answer to the dallas fuel on midtown |
| 25535s | not so much there's the disconnect |
| 25537s | between hopper and hisu there he sue |
| 25540s | goes in with the teleport doesn't get |
| 25542s | the bubble and he gets slept he gets |
| 25544s | punished and that it just starts |
| 25545s | crumbling for the toronto defiant dallas |
| 25548s | fuel they're taking that space in there |
| 25550s | once they have the pedal down to the |
| 25552s | metal there's no stopping them and |
| 25554s | toronto defiant they're gonna have to |
| 25556s | hope for some magic on their offensive |
| 25558s | round |
| 25561s | can they come in clutch can |
| 25562s | the he's be leased |
| 25564s | like that's what we need just that star |
| 25566s | power in the front line because although |
| 25569s | his impact's not really there right now |
| 25571s | at all like sparkle was just outpacing |
| 25573s | him just over and over again with the |
| 25575s | the soldier not even with the just the |
| 25577s | tank visor just |
| 25578s | in the neutral |
| 25580s | but i don't even think it's just on |
| 25581s | although the amount of space that you're |
| 25583s | seeing be created by the rest of the |
| 25585s | dallas fuel team is allowing sparkle to |
| 25587s | move around the map get those flanks get |
| 25589s | that damage in although on the other |
| 25591s | hand it feels like he has chio of all |
| 25593s | people just hunting him down at all |
| 25595s | moments following up edison and just |
| 25597s | playing that aggressive style so trying |
| 25599s | to define it's not one player who i |
| 25601s | think needs to make this adjustment that |
| 25603s | team needs to find some teamwork and |
| 25605s | synergy like we saw from them on lee |
| 25607s | jung tower okay just got to bring it |
| 25609s | back |
| 25610s | they'll run back |
| 25612s | all right |
| 25614s | defines turn to attack can they match |
| 25618s | the offensive uh offensive power |
| 25622s | coming out from the fuel oh that's a |
| 25624s | wall |
| 25625s | take that wall take that |
| 25627s | someone out |
| 25630s | oh dallas is going early |
| 25632s | sparkle gets although and but dallas in |
| 25633s | the front line is running them down you |
| 25635s | can see tornadoed to fight running for |
| 25636s | the hills it has been slept but yeah |
| 25638s | look at this aggression that's kind of |
| 25639s | it's like no one's expecting this at all |
| 25641s | it's almost a free rotation more often |
| 25642s | than not |
| 25643s | the dallas fuel they're gonna fight you |
| 25645s | in the streets in the alleyways it |
| 25646s | doesn't matter where you are they're |
| 25648s | gonna run you over |
| 25649s | the difference between those two teams |
| 25651s | trying to find gave that to the dallas |
| 25653s | fuel but dallas knows that is the crux |
| 25655s | of the hold they can't just allow them |
| 25657s | to walk down that alley take all that |
| 25658s | positioning so dallas go aggressive the |
| 25661s | best way they know how just running it |
| 25663s | down oh |
| 25664s | rough |
| 25665s | rough stuff |
| 25668s | oh |
| 25669s | wait a second hang on hold |
| 25671s | on |
| 25675s | it was his fault |
| 25676s | yeah he unplugged something sorry |
| 25678s | we'll go back into gaming |
| 25681s | turn it back on scott i'm sorry the |
| 25683s | dallas fuel fans are chirping they want |
| 25684s | to see better things they want to see |
| 25686s | the continuation of the domination from |
| 25689s | the dallas fuel look at him look at |
| 25691s | where i'm |
| 25691s | [Music] |
| 25692s | [Applause] |
| 25698s | and this is the thing you need to be |
| 25700s | afraid of when they get that head full |
| 25702s | of steam it becomes very difficult to |
| 25705s | slow them down |
| 25709s | should we get back in in just a moment |
| 25711s | do not worry |
| 25712s | i mean they're ready to rock and roll |
| 25714s | look at them |
| 25714s | just zoned in like edison is locked in |
| 25716s | look at that i was about to say yeah |
| 25718s | when he walked up on stage i'm like oh |
| 25720s | my god he's already logged in |
| 25721s | just standing there menacingly oh my god |
| 25724s | okay |
| 25725s | he's rping reaper you know that that's |
| 25727s | menacingly |
| 25730s | dominant |
| 25731s | hmm it's a new one |
| 25733s | hand warmer problems yeah they get cold |
| 25735s | sometimes that's true you just gotta |
| 25737s | give them a shake sometimes you know |
| 25738s | they're really helpful you know the |
| 25740s | stage gets cold from time to time when i |
| 25741s | was a player there you know shaking them |
| 25743s | up really helps you out yeah we've got a |
| 25745s | quite a lot of gifts of that happening |
| 25747s | yeah very strange ways get your mind out |
| 25749s | of the gutter jack come on there it was |
| 25750s | never there |
| 25751s | i'm a polite boy |
| 25754s | all good yep so we're getting back into |
| 25756s | it in just a moment |
| 25757s | i mean they're ready to go oh i mean |
| 25759s | smacking the keyboard definitely well i |
| 25761s | think they poured some water on the |
| 25762s | keyboard i've done that all multiple |
| 25764s | times |
| 25765s | i |
| 25766s | see |
| 25767s | okay yeah so um from what i'm hearing |
| 25769s | thank you production by the way uh his |
| 25771s | the hand warmer accidentally exploded |
| 25773s | and it's in the it's in the keyboard so |
| 25775s | that's a new one that's a first yes yes |
| 25777s | well it's all good don't worry |
| 25780s | he's just getting too least yeah that |
| 25782s | was the problem |
| 25783s | but it's all good |
| 25785s | just clean the desk down it's all good i |
| 25787s | love how we're getting action cam of |
| 25788s | this yeah this is why this is why i feed |
| 25791s | off the hand warmer extravaganza |
| 25794s | might not be one of our longest paws |
| 25796s | we've ever seen but definitely a unique |
| 25797s | one definitely a unique one maybe this |
| 25799s | is their strategy right just shake up |
| 25800s | the fuel just a little bit yeah we're |
| 25802s | gonna jump to quick pause he just starts |
| 25803s | tearing the hitting |
| 25805s | what are you doing he's like we need |
| 25806s | don't worry |
| 25807s | don't worry |
| 25808s | this is my secret plan |
| 25810s | now it looks like he's good |
| 25812s | dallas fuel already like you said |
| 25814s | they're locked in right now just about |
| 25816s | to jump back into the game and well |
| 25819s | three minutes to go a minute was burned |
| 25821s | nice aggression from the dallas fuel to |
| 25823s | start us off there we go we're back in |
| 25826s | everybody |
| 25833s | all right let's see if turn to find |
| 25834s | change up how they want to attack this |
| 25836s | point last time they tried to go down |
| 25837s | the alley but dallas fuel said no look |
| 25839s | at where edison is hiding right now in |
| 25841s | the corner and they walk into him |
| 25843s | hey might be a little bit trouble |
| 25844s | there's one bubble available for hanbin |
| 25847s | right now and there you go apply uh |
| 25849s | toronto devine just couldn't run him |
| 25850s | down quick enough and now they're split |
| 25852s | could be a little bit of a problem |
| 25853s | they're still funneling into this room |
| 25854s | but spark on the side takes care of |
| 25855s | twilight you don't really expect sparkle |
| 25857s | to be there and unfortunately the |
| 25859s | toronto to find once again just caught |
| 25861s | in this alleyway oh my word |
| 25864s | the dallas fuel |
| 25867s | two minutes to go for the define |
| 25870s | they need to come up with something fast |
| 25872s | you know the dallas fuel as soon as you |
| 25874s | pick their head around the first corner |
| 25875s | they're running at you it doesn't feel |
| 25877s | like toronto defiant are ready for this |
| 25879s | dallas fuel aggression they just walked |
| 25880s | into that room as if dallas wasn't going |
| 25882s | to stop them they even had their backs |
| 25883s | to hunt but never turn your back to |
| 25886s | hanuman because he will run you down so |
| 25888s | let's see if we're going to find take a |
| 25889s | different approach just like but dallas |
| 25890s | are running through the trial and then |
| 25891s | going straight over the high ground nice |
| 25893s | little boob give me some air time why |
| 25894s | not i think that helped him more than |
| 25896s | hindered him nice nano fiser kills |
| 25898s | twilight chill wrongs going down two |
| 25901s | sparkle he's done a lot more damage than |
| 25903s | potentially toronto to find anticipated |
| 25907s | although gets chased all the way to |
| 25909s | those doors hot but luckily has that |
| 25911s | ground for the next fight but he's |
| 25913s | looking at not only a death blossom a |
| 25915s | grafton search from hanbin but shio with |
| 25918s | the beat |
| 25919s | how many pages is in this dallas fuel |
| 25921s | handbook it's it's got to be as big as a |
| 25923s | textbook at this point they're just |
| 25924s | mixing it up on toronto and they're |
| 25925s | never ready for anything harmon's going |
| 25927s | to aggress with the graph yeah he's |
| 25928s | ready for that crab oh instantly on to |
| 25930s | although he know where he wanted to |
| 25932s | place it a return grab from hopper is |
| 25934s | good but she says okay no worries |
| 25936s | instant beat and look at this edison |
| 25938s | already in the back line death blossom's |
| 25940s | not going to get used just yet for |
| 25941s | toronto to find pulling all the weight |
| 25943s | back they know with the amount of |
| 25944s | casualties that they sustained it's not |
| 25946s | worth going again now they're grouped up |
| 25948s | they got a minute to go scott they need |
| 25950s | to find an entrance into this fight |
| 25952s | they're going aggressive right now |
| 25955s | he's so close to the death bottom but |
| 25957s | can he close the gap hopper certainly |
| 25959s | did his heartbeat ends up falling he's |
| 25960s | actually waiting for people to come to |
| 25962s | him and it's actually working out |
| 25963s | sparkle finds a return kill but the |
| 25966s | dallas fuel have lost the majority of |
| 25968s | their damage toronto fight with one tick |
| 25970s | on the point heart bits coming back as |
| 25972s | do that's an interesting choice they're |
| 25974s | wanting to recontest this doubts who |
| 25976s | have no ultimates on the board and |
| 25977s | they're almost at the capture 88 percent |
| 25980s | nice sleep on tahito but he's gonna be |
| 25982s | good straight in the train car double |
| 25984s | kill for the reaper and the toronto |
| 25987s | defiance once again by the skin of their |
| 25990s | teeth |
| 25990s | they're going to be able to cap this |
| 25991s | first point as soon as they take care of |
| 25993s | the tank there you go |
| 25995s | fire truck now leaving the station |
| 25997s | i like |
| 25998s | that attack from the toronto defiant |
| 26001s | sometimes they're getting too cute with |
| 26002s | it they're trying to do too many |
| 26003s | strategies and maneuvering around the |
| 26004s | one fight that they just walk at the |
| 26006s | dallas fuel it works you're in the |
| 26007s | mirror composition you just got to have |
| 26009s | confidence in yourself because dallas |
| 26011s | fuel have confidence nothing but |
| 26012s | confidence so toronto defined i want to |
| 26014s | see more of that stop trying to navigate |
| 26016s | around them and letting letting dallas |
| 26018s | fuel go first |
| 26020s | does you want to go first right now you |
| 26021s | see where oats are up nana visor and a |
| 26023s | teleport from edison across |
| 26025s | to the other side there that green |
| 26026s | tarpaulin |
| 26028s | should be good |
| 26030s | i like that position as it's holding it |
| 26032s | could be so strong just dropping at the |
| 26033s | bottom another one there he is jumping |
| 26035s | up now advice has been here he's already |
| 26037s | down those bubbles don't last for long |
| 26039s | you've got nano visor staring at |
| 26043s | i mean they were kind of expecting that |
| 26044s | a very quick |
| 26046s | and clean fight |
| 26048s | burning down the time back as much as |
| 26050s | possible with a minute and 50 to go it |
| 26052s | feels like sparkle's a new trick he just |
| 26054s | went yo i'm gonna a jump in and we're |
| 26056s | gonna nano visor he's just doing it on |
| 26057s | cooldown tony hawk like |
| 26059s | sounds grinding off the rails yeah you |
| 26061s | can see dallas fuel why they wanted this |
| 26063s | position they want to take this window |
| 26064s | force toronto to find to clear it |
| 26066s | because edison's waiting in that room |
| 26068s | but they're going to force him out early |
| 26069s | which is important because they can't |
| 26071s | keep walking into this crossfire oh |
| 26073s | yikes that was close |
| 26075s | yeah luckily field is just |
| 26077s | over there |
| 26078s | you can just heal it it's all good |
| 26080s | dropping straight down on the soldier no |
| 26082s | healing station buddy where you're |
| 26083s | running oh to your team well i got brave |
| 26085s | form |
| 26086s | it doesn't matter i've got bubbles to |
| 26087s | back me up once again |
| 26089s | finding kills onto his the player that |
| 26091s | we needed to stand up for the toronto |
| 26093s | defend getting beat down by a support |
| 26096s | the dallas fuel maintain control and now |
| 26098s | they're in the old sport nice grab in |
| 26100s | fact did you |
| 26101s | know he dies using the beats and the |
| 26104s | nade to follow up to toronto to fight |
| 26105s | execute that one perfectly |
| 26108s | a little bit of an ajax there scott |
| 26110s | seeing one of those today already the |
| 26112s | toronto defined we're ready and waiting |
| 26114s | for it i was questioning where toronto |
| 26116s | defiant were going but hopper coming out |
| 26119s | of spawn dalston weren't expecting that |
| 26120s | level of aggression with one person down |
| 26123s | really making it work with just that one |
| 26124s | ultimate as well look at how many |
| 26126s | ultimates toronto have coming into this |
| 26127s | next fight |
| 26128s | i mean they're just running out of harm |
| 26130s | is so close to that graviton surge why |
| 26131s | not 100 energy for hopper he is purple |
| 26134s | has to back up a beautiful nade onto no |
| 26137s | bubbles zarya it's an easy kill although |
| 26141s | it's been slept in the visor luckily |
| 26143s | they didn't use the nano for the toronto |
| 26145s | to find fighting for their lives on the |
| 26147s | point twilight kills edison but it |
| 26149s | realistically doesn't mean a whole bunch |
| 26151s | the dallas fuel are continuing to hold |
| 26153s | with seven seconds to go this is gonna |
| 26155s | be it they've got ulgs to spare they |
| 26157s | didn't use anything really in that fight |
| 26160s | and no one can touch |
| 26161s | the dallas fuel |
| 26163s | with two mass and match point in the |
| 26166s | series |
| 26167s | [Applause] |
| 26171s | [Music] |
| 26173s | but just weren't ready for that level of |
| 26175s | aggression from the dallas fuel and that |
| 26177s | summarizes this entire map dallas fuel |
| 26181s | playing with that confidence playing |
| 26182s | aggressive not allowing toronto to fight |
| 26184s | to have that freedom to set up like they |
| 26187s | did on liang tower and the toronto |
| 26189s | defiant caught off balance one too many |
| 26191s | times |
| 26191s | [Music] |
| 26194s | midtown is the fuels they're on match |
| 26196s | points |
| 26197s | toronto may be looking a little bit |
| 26199s | defeated but there's still an |
| 26200s | opportunity to come back we saw what |
| 26201s | they could do |
| 26203s | on the lee zhang tower |
| 26205s | it's scary it really is but we're gonna |
| 26208s | jump to a break can dallas fuel bring it |
| 26209s | home we'll have to wait and find out |

| 26463s | what's better than hitting a primal rage |
| 26464s | or a huge primal rage well doing it in |
| 26466s | style tune into the kickoff clash this |
| 26469s | weekend for five hours to claim your |
| 26471s | very own overwatch league winston home |
| 26473s | and away skin if you're tuning in so |
| 26476s | that's great and you get some uh |
| 26477s | lee tokens too so even better |
| 26481s | love to see it get those tokens in make |
| 26483s | sure to connect your account don't spam |
| 26485s | drops in chat it does not help |
| 26488s | we've been saying it for years it does |
| 26490s | not help sources say doesn't it |
| 26492s | all right |
| 26493s | toronto defiant need to find a way back |
| 26496s | into the series the dallas fuel though |
| 26498s | in front of their hometown crowd like |
| 26501s | they are destroying right now we saw a |
| 26504s | lot of work being put in by the defiant |
| 26507s | the very early stages of the series so |
| 26511s | where are we going well toronto's matt |
| 26513s | pig it is dorado and they've made some |
| 26515s | switch-ups finale in for fajitsu they |
| 26518s | also have muse in for hot though so |
| 26520s | scott |
| 26521s | what's that ring it makes sense you know |
| 26523s | they've played the winston composition |
| 26525s | you have to you can't play the zaya on |
| 26527s | dorado the questionable thing for me is |
| 26530s | he sue coming out we've very rarely seen |
| 26533s | finale |
| 26535s | end although together usually his was at |
| 26537s | the mainstay of this roster sort of |
| 26539s | taking out their hit scan player so i |
| 26541s | expect them to play the dive but |
| 26543s | probably not the widowmaker |
| 26547s | the dallas fuel have some substitutions |
| 26549s | too so |
| 26550s | just getting them set up |
| 26554s | we're to make a superstar |
| 26557s | edison taking a back seat |
| 26559s | gurio's coming in |
| 26560s | to play widow |
| 26562s | he's looking calm called and collected |
| 26564s | i've heard he's a nervous one so |
| 26567s | hopefully the stage is not going to add |
| 26569s | into that he talked about in his opening |
| 26571s | match that he got to play he was very |
| 26574s | very nervous guru we believe in you |
| 26576s | dance fuel feathers do you believe in |
| 26578s | kangaroo absolutely i think they believe |
| 26580s | in fearless a whole bunch too |
| 26582s | amanda's name uh made quite a reputation |
| 26585s | for himself ryan extraordinaire probably |
| 26589s | playing the winston on this map on |
| 26590s | dorado his primal rages are i mean |
| 26595s | just things of dreams i think |
| 26598s | i've never hit one close to that |
| 26600s | [Applause] |
| 26605s | the one more map chant goes on for |
| 26607s | dallas fuel trying to cheer their team |
| 26608s | on to a victory |
| 26610s | this is the |
| 26611s | dallas fuel that we've been liking we |
| 26613s | haven't seen so much of their dive but |
| 26615s | they have played it on dorado they have |
| 26617s | sort of moved away from that style with |
| 26619s | that great |
| 26620s | han bin zaya but phil is coming in |
| 26622s | that's a great sub to have if you're on |
| 26624s | the dallas fuel to just come in and play |
| 26626s | that winston because the dallas fuel |
| 26628s | were nerfed when we went into the 5v5 |
| 26630s | lineup they can no longer have that |
| 26632s | legendary tank duo so we'll have to see |
| 26634s | if felix can come in and make an impact |
| 26637s | looks like most the players are ready to |
| 26639s | rock and roll that should be more than |
| 26641s | ready i mean yeah one more map dorado |
| 26646s | it's their score |
| 26648s | can imagine a very aggressive |
| 26650s | mode that does just want to continue |
| 26652s | running like |
| 26653s | midtown was ridiculous like they were |
| 26655s | fighting up to their |
| 26657s | spawn this be the final one the dallas |
| 26659s | fuel |
| 26660s | they win here they move on |
| 26662s | they face the glads reiner predicted |
| 26665s | what was that 3-0 trying to define not |
| 26668s | maybe not yeah maybe not he's running up |
| 26670s | the crowd let's be rude ourselves here |
| 26672s | they're looking like |
| 26673s | a dallas fuel 3-0 right now but toronto |
| 26676s | defined they can still come back it is |
| 26679s | very doable and they still got another |
| 26680s | chance too worth mentioning of course |
| 26682s | they go down to the losers bracket after |
| 26684s | this i mean scott there's plenty more |
| 26687s | overwatch to come across the next three |
| 26689s | days like |
| 26690s | and we've only we only just got started |
| 26691s | we've already seen a reverse sweep we've |
| 26693s | seen some crazy things out of dallas |
| 26696s | it's just the beginning i'm curious to |
| 26698s | see how this muse finale setup goes |
| 26700s | because it has looked good for the |
| 26701s | toronto defiant earlier in the kickoff |
| 26703s | clash they've moved away from it as |
| 26705s | teams have started moving away from that |
| 26707s | winston style and as i said the thing i |
| 26709s | want to look out for in this map so far |
| 26712s | is you see finale and although playing |
| 26714s | the genji and the tracer they're fully |
| 26715s | committing into this dive don't want to |
| 26717s | take that hitscan mirror against gurio |
| 26720s | and guru i'm curious to see what we're |
| 26722s | going to see him is he going to stick to |
| 26723s | that ash or is he going to move to that |
| 26725s | widow maker it can be very difficult to |
| 26728s | play widowmaker into a genji tracer and |
| 26730s | a winston |
| 26733s | we see a little bit of ash here and |
| 26734s | there too so |
| 26735s | maybe |
| 26736s | some of that black |
| 26738s | hey it's tough to play against this time |
| 26742s | trying to define need to be able to play |
| 26743s | aggro here they've got the com to do it |
| 26747s | no no no no no no tp for you well maybe |
| 26749s | a tv in a bubble okay there you go nice |
| 26751s | all right nice play from fearless bubble |
| 26753s | in the turbo oh |
| 26755s | he meant |
| 26756s | i always think well maybe he's supposed |
| 26757s | to go higher |
| 26758s | he dropped he missed it but i would have |
| 26760s | missed it he he's going everywhere that |
| 26762s | he's means to we see guru go over to |
| 26764s | that ash so he's gonna have that high |
| 26765s | damage the number one thing gurio needs |
| 26767s | to do is just stay alive the damage |
| 26769s | output from the ash from that range is |
| 26772s | very high and it's going to force the |
| 26773s | throw to fight to go but as soon as |
| 26776s | gurio steps forward just a little bit |
| 26777s | too much he's going to have people in |
| 26779s | his face |
| 26780s | here's the coach gun's going to be |
| 26782s | extremely important keeping himself |
| 26783s | alive and the rest of the team do that |
| 26785s | nice little engagement from the toronto |
| 26787s | defiance going extremely low for that |
| 26789s | dynamite oh my word they are quite |
| 26792s | literally burning blue right now |
| 26794s | gurio just trying to take the 1v1 it's |
| 26796s | pretty hard against the tracer and it is |
| 26798s | finale who's another tracer player who's |
| 26800s | been exceptional this season muse and |
| 26802s | although executing that dive |
| 26804s | with pinpoint precision |
| 26808s | dallas you're now going for a big reset |
| 26811s | look at the old charge from the dallas |
| 26813s | fuel uh from the toronto defiance sorry |
| 26815s | right now that post bomb from sparkle |
| 26817s | that was a hell mary at the very end is |
| 26819s | he switching or is he sticking does that |
| 26822s | seem like a bit of a fat finger to me |
| 26824s | sparkles done that in the past as well |
| 26826s | sometimes he likes to go for those hail |
| 26827s | mary plays go for the the reddit clips |
| 26830s | but gurio you saw the issue of that ash |
| 26832s | as soon as their team goes forward |
| 26834s | guerrilla just gets left on his own |
| 26836s | little island and finale just hunting |
| 26838s | him down so let's see if guru can find |
| 26840s | some more space this time oh |
| 26841s | let's go dynamite forcing the recoil |
| 26844s | forget one shot headshot gotta be |
| 26845s | careful pulse bomb in hand nano boost |
| 26848s | onto muse nice little whip shot there |
| 26850s | from chio and chong falls to fearless |
| 26853s | that's not where you want to be mew's |
| 26854s | not really making the most use of the |
| 26857s | nano boost but it doesn't seem to matter |
| 26859s | that primal rage in the small room is |
| 26860s | doing plenty of work and finally doing a |
| 26862s | little bit more so gio and gurio fall to |
| 26865s | his hands |
| 26866s | most winston's now find themselves in |
| 26868s | the kill fee but the toronto defiance |
| 26869s | still |
| 26870s | holding down this is a good start the |
| 26873s | dallas fuel half the time bank disappear |
| 26876s | finale making his presence known in the |
| 26878s | server right now popping off on that |
| 26880s | tracer charon's now got that rally it's |
| 26882s | gonna make it very hard for the dallas |
| 26884s | fuel to dive in but although blade |
| 26886s | that's what i'm looking for to be this |
| 26887s | difference maker |
| 26891s | [Applause] |
| 26892s | [Music] |
| 26893s | rally |
| 26895s | played available for the toronto to |
| 26897s | fight can although find anything it's a |
| 26899s | big primal rage for fearless their stuff |
| 26900s | of legend but can he actually secure any |
| 26902s | kills he's disrupting the bad climb for |
| 26904s | long enough although he pops the blade |
| 26906s | slash dash there's one kill beautiful |
| 26909s | sleep by fielder but still |
| 26912s | a support missing but curio just lines |
| 26916s | up the shot it was easy he was on the |
| 26918s | ground already and a couple of meters to |
| 26920s | go before the fuel do put that point in |
| 26922s | the sixth man he's on the field it's |
| 26924s | only beautiful bob |
| 26926s | touching right now but it might just be |
| 26928s | enough the finale comes up big once |
| 26929s | again sparkle dead pulse bomb throne |
| 26932s | gurio falls and finale is keeping the |
| 26935s | toronto defiant in this game but the |
| 26937s | dallas fuel they ended up camping under |
| 26939s | their noses oh my a little bit of a |
| 26942s | charlie niner i think coming in from the |
| 26944s | toronto find not able to stay on the |
| 26946s | point dallas fuel get away with that one |
| 26948s | that was slipping away from them they |
| 26950s | only had about a minute remaining on |
| 26952s | that first point and they didn't have |
| 26954s | much left |
| 26955s | going for them we're going to see a |
| 26957s | re-aggression here from the toronto |
| 26958s | defiant trying to touch the spawn of the |
| 26960s | dallas field another native serious |
| 26962s | another sleep even muse is doing uh |
| 26965s | next nothing on the winston is really |
| 26967s | punishing going for these divers and |
| 26968s | fielder has these cooldowns done |
| 26970s | fearless though has been slapped by |
| 26971s | twilight and finale once more just |
| 26974s | beating sparkle to the punch an |
| 26976s | attempted sleep from fielder he's so low |
| 26978s | not much geo can unfortunately do their |
| 26980s | twilight minds a nice couple of kills |
| 26983s | and the toronto to fight this is the way |
| 26985s | they want to play though right scott |
| 26986s | straight up in their spawn they want to |
| 26988s | dive hyper aggressively the shoe is on |
| 26990s | the other foot now we talked about how |
| 26991s | dallas was very aggressive on that side |
| 26993s | composition toronto kicking it up a |
| 26995s | notch now that they're playing this dive |
| 26996s | and look at them in this elbow they're |
| 26998s | waiting to go twilight's going to take |
| 26999s | this angle and try and attempt for a big |
| 27001s | name nice nade on to fearless |
| 27004s | but he can back off rather easily |
| 27006s | not the most honorable 1v1 of all time |
| 27009s | as finale is getting healed but that's |
| 27010s | okay fitness jumps in and gets slept |
| 27012s | finally with another stick doesn't quite |
| 27014s | get it cheer with the perfect reactions |
| 27016s | with the shield sparkle though on the |
| 27018s | other side of the map actually kills |
| 27019s | twilight |
| 27021s | toronto to fight |
| 27022s | they're making space with this primal |
| 27024s | rage with gurio dying the dallas field |
| 27026s | once again in a situation that they |
| 27028s | don't want to find themselves in |
| 27029s | struggling to move this car |
| 27031s | past this |
| 27032s | small gate area i am starting to think |
| 27034s | this guru ash might be a problem it |
| 27036s | doesn't feel like toronto defiant is |
| 27038s | giving them any breathing room gurio is |
| 27040s | just struggling to get any purchase and |
| 27042s | any damage and he needs to be pumping |
| 27044s | that out almost at some point i'd like |
| 27046s | to see him switch over to that soldier |
| 27047s | if toronto defined keep up this |
| 27049s | aggression |
| 27050s | nanoboost available for the dallas fuel |
| 27052s | can send phyllis in with it and he can |
| 27053s | back himself up with the primal rage |
| 27056s | he needs to get his high ground control |
| 27058s | away from |
| 27059s | toronto defiant ideally that's where |
| 27061s | they want to be with the ash there's the |
| 27063s | engagement from fearless but instantly |
| 27064s | twilight better one of the best donors |
| 27066s | in the world hits him with the sleep |
| 27068s | nanoboost though onto chio to keep him |
| 27069s | alive can he actually do much damage yes |
| 27071s | it looks like it just dashing straight |
| 27073s | in the church say your prayers defiant |
| 27076s | you got to deal with chio and he's not |
| 27078s | out a nice little antenate though from |
| 27080s | twilight finishes him off a rather |
| 27082s | scrappy engagement as phil is letting |
| 27084s | sleeping again sparkle with a big |
| 27086s | postman onto twilight as long as trong |
| 27088s | stays alive in this fight they might be |
| 27090s | good he's so close that rally but it |
| 27091s | doesn't look like toronto would |
| 27092s | definitely want to pop it just yet they |
| 27094s | know the dallas fuel can regroup quickly |
| 27096s | which is what they've done so they end |
| 27097s | up backing up they need to take this |
| 27099s | high ground toronto to find they need to |
| 27101s | control that space so that they can drop |
| 27102s | onto fielder because look at how exposed |
| 27104s | they are on this low ground right now |
| 27106s | coach gunn up into the skies you've got |
| 27108s | to get that bob on high ground or |
| 27110s | at least get the pop going it can be |
| 27112s | such an annoying tool for a tracer a |
| 27114s | genji to deal with the toronto defined a |
| 27116s | couple of dcbs ultimates in hand |
| 27119s | although could set up with a big blade |
| 27120s | but |
| 27121s | look at this the fuel actually going for |
| 27123s | a big wrap around |
| 27124s | they need to find something times |
| 27126s | ticking finale with a double pulse bomb |
| 27128s | they cannot let finale keep getting away |
| 27131s | with these pulses the dallas fuel are |
| 27134s | now in overtime they don't have bob they |
| 27136s | don't have riley two huge ultimates |
| 27138s | taken away from them charon kills |
| 27140s | sparkle and now the toronto defender |
| 27142s | sitting pretty on the payload muse he |
| 27144s | may be sleeping but of course he can do |
| 27146s | that when the rest of his team are |
| 27147s | cleaning house |
| 27149s | the toronto defiance stopped that |
| 27150s | payload before second and the dallas |
| 27152s | fuel |
| 27153s | uncharacteristically especially in this |
| 27155s | series |
| 27156s | a little flat |
| 27157s | that's been the story of the dallas fuel |
| 27159s | so far this season they have not looked |
| 27161s | as dominant on this dive as they have in |
| 27163s | the past it's the thing we know them for |
| 27165s | it's what they did all of last year but |
| 27167s | it feels like when they're playing these |
| 27169s | dive heroes when they're playing these |
| 27171s | dive compositions they're struggling to |
| 27173s | find purchase they're not being able to |
| 27174s | play their tempo we saw the exact same |
| 27176s | thing last time we were here in texas |
| 27178s | versus the houston outlaws dallas fuel |
| 27180s | they need to start finding a way to slow |
| 27183s | down the aggression of the toronto |
| 27184s | defiant and i think it has to start by |
| 27186s | looking at guerilla's hero are we going |
| 27188s | to see something different from him on |
| 27189s | the defense |
| 27190s | [Music] |
| 27193s | yes |
| 27194s | of course we are it's gonna be a widow |
| 27195s | right |
| 27197s | that's what you want to see from him |
| 27198s | this is finale's pulse one wow i mean |
| 27200s | you take out the two tools |
| 27204s | that the fuel needed |
| 27206s | the rally and the bob like finale comes |
| 27209s | in you know maybe a little bit a bit |
| 27210s | cold right is his first game on stage |
| 27213s | for the define |
| 27214s | and he comes up with performances like |
| 27216s | that yeah |
| 27217s | i'm down finale having a phenomenal time |
| 27221s | right now on the tracer something that |
| 27223s | we know he's good for and he has been |
| 27225s | good in the kickoff clash but i was not |
| 27228s | expecting to have this level of impact |
| 27229s | dallas feel need to find an answer to |
| 27231s | him because he just feels like he's |
| 27232s | running around the map for free with no |
| 27234s | gurio to pump out that damage we didn't |
| 27236s | see guru kill finale once |
| 27239s | although switching over to the |
| 27240s | widowmaker to try and match |
| 27242s | gurio oh nice uh nice nade |
| 27245s | i think they're resulting too much |
| 27247s | that's what i want to see just to both |
| 27249s | just go with these |
| 27250s | crazy grapple shots although it goes |
| 27252s | back onto the genji maybe just looking |
| 27253s | for that first shot so once again gurio |
| 27256s | on that widow maybe won't have that |
| 27259s | space to shoot like he's going to want |
| 27261s | to |
| 27262s | yeah you can see slowly the definer |
| 27263s | encroaching on their position |
| 27267s | and yeah you have to pay respects to the |
| 27269s | widowmaker but when you can just push |
| 27270s | the payload get high ground with the |
| 27272s | genji it's pretty tough to do much |
| 27274s | just look at how much space the dallas |
| 27276s | fuel is giving to the touring department |
| 27278s | we haven't even fought yet and it's |
| 27279s | probably because of the gurio |
| 27281s | positioning right there on the top of |
| 27282s | the arch that's the defensive place they |
| 27284s | want to play on i wouldn't be surprised |
| 27286s | to see although you saw him moving |
| 27287s | towards it he's going to go over this |
| 27288s | wall and try and punish guru for playing |
| 27290s | so far back he's got to wait for the |
| 27292s | call he's gone over he's on the high |
| 27294s | ground now denying that away hit the |
| 27296s | venom mine which is kind of frustrating |
| 27297s | all guerrillas in the back no way here's |
| 27299s | this headshot or he's straight there of |
| 27301s | course he does |
| 27303s | are you serious |
| 27304s | you didn't expect that did you i didn't |
| 27306s | even see his head |
| 27308s | gurion now trying to line up another |
| 27309s | shot dallas fuel they've lost fearless |
| 27311s | unfortunately the definer is still |
| 27312s | moving this payload but it's on gurio's |
| 27314s | shoulder shoulders right now to try and |
| 27316s | find a little something extra twilight |
| 27318s | in trouble he takes the double shot make |
| 27321s | that a triple shot joram falls gurion |
| 27324s | holding down this point solo right now |
| 27328s | don't step up to the boy he's gonna bite |
| 27331s | back |
| 27332s | gurio proving why he's here right now |
| 27335s | having that hit scan prowess getting |
| 27336s | that amazing shot against although at |
| 27338s | the beginning and then becomes the body |
| 27340s | shot bandit as the the fight goes on |
| 27342s | getting those important final blows and |
| 27344s | toronto define has to take a reset |
| 27348s | dallas fuel have that nano they've got |
| 27350s | the pulse |
| 27351s | nearing that sights |
| 27353s | i look at the toronto to find they're so |
| 27355s | far away from that blade scott it's been |
| 27357s | quite tough for them to build it up okay |
| 27359s | they're checking korea makes sense not a |
| 27360s | boost on to fearless jumps to the back |
| 27363s | oh that's a lot of dead supports goodbye |
| 27366s | sparkle is going to be able to chase |
| 27367s | this one just help assist fearless grab |
| 27370s | these kills although he was filled up |
| 27372s | shouldn't matter shrug it off it's good |
| 27374s | oh hang on sorry say again gurio also |
| 27378s | forced it although although now trying |
| 27380s | to take control but the dallas feel they |
| 27381s | have rally scott so they should be fine |
| 27384s | they're gonna give up a little bit of |
| 27385s | space but spark was still there jostling |
| 27387s | on the payload it feels like toro |
| 27388s | defying used ultimates to try and stay |
| 27390s | in this fight they like where they are |
| 27391s | they can't give that positioning back to |
| 27393s | gurio but the infrasight comes out for |
| 27395s | him and he's gonna have all the |
| 27397s | information in the world to get get in |
| 27398s | the right spot nanoboost boost on |
| 27400s | although curio yeah spots his arch |
| 27402s | nemesis has to back straight up but |
| 27405s | already sparkle |
| 27406s | being a mischief in the back line charon |
| 27409s | ends up falling no heels from twilight |
| 27410s | and there you go sparkling phyllis with |
| 27412s | a perfectly executed dive take out the |
| 27415s | support from the toronto defiant |
| 27417s | another nothing to fall back on although |
| 27419s | yeah again he's getting these kills |
| 27421s | scott but there's nothing resulting in |
| 27423s | them |
| 27424s | he's he's just getting the pick of the |
| 27426s | litter at the end but it's nothing |
| 27428s | impactful he's not even at his blade yet |
| 27430s | he's he hasn't been getting in that |
| 27432s | damage he hasn't had that big fight |
| 27434s | ultimate and he needs to come impactful |
| 27437s | in this final fight dallas you do not |
| 27439s | have an answer to the blade he should |
| 27440s | have all the space in the world |
| 27448s | goodbye twilight |
| 27449s | 20 seconds to go |
| 27452s | the dallas fuel |
| 27453s | use the pulse to make this last fight |
| 27456s | although it needs to come up with |
| 27457s | something big we've seen just the |
| 27459s | neutral kills but this blade |
| 27462s | to keep them in the series the dallas |
| 27464s | fuel looking at a 3-0 dub |
| 27466s | if defiant can't find this fight final |
| 27469s | engagements coming in rally out gurio |
| 27472s | dead defined the blade he's got a lot of |
| 27475s | health but he needs a lot of kills |
| 27476s | there's one make that another with |
| 27478s | finale helping the toronto fight are |
| 27480s | still in this game they wipe the dallas |
| 27483s | fuel in ot |
| 27485s | and make sure they get that |
| 27487s | first checkpoint |
| 27489s | but with two minutes and 30 seconds to |
| 27491s | go it's still an upwards hill battle a |
| 27493s | great play by although but once again i |
| 27495s | have to highlight finale getting that |
| 27497s | pick onto gurio gives them all that |
| 27499s | space allows them to walk forward |
| 27501s | trying to find get on to that second |
| 27503s | point but they only have two minutes to |
| 27505s | get all the way through this uh this |
| 27506s | fight and dallas still have the position |
| 27508s | on the high ground with gurio switching |
| 27510s | to that ash |
| 27516s | fearless in trouble primal rage has been |
| 27518s | earned what a stick put a recall there |
| 27520s | from sparkle to keep him alive well then |
| 27522s | he stuck field there was a lot of people |
| 27523s | there |
| 27524s | regardless didn't do much high ground is |
| 27527s | finales he doesn't want to get killed by |
| 27529s | gurio coach gunn has been used now the |
| 27531s | ash is in trouble she's getting chased |
| 27533s | down perfect positioning from toronto to |
| 27535s | find forcing the ash to use cooldowns |
| 27536s | and dropping to low crown to finish the |
| 27538s | kill |
| 27539s | the dallas fuel dying on payload a 10 |
| 27543s | player killing spree there from finale |
| 27545s | putting in unbelievable work right now |
| 27547s | for the toronto defiant but still with a |
| 27549s | minute and 30 to go scott they have to |
| 27550s | run up against this pulse and the rally |
| 27552s | from the fuel the rally is going to be |
| 27554s | the big problem the toronto defiant |
| 27556s | don't have that big damage they don't |
| 27557s | even have any of those ultimates to shut |
| 27559s | it down so the dallas fuel are going to |
| 27561s | survive through the initial dive if |
| 27563s | anything i'd like to see toronto go |
| 27564s | aggressive force the rally and then |
| 27567s | regroup okay sparkle pulses he's not |
| 27569s | hiding this time around nano boost from |
| 27571s | afar on muse can they escape yes they |
| 27573s | can beautiful booth once again by geo |
| 27575s | and he's using that rally there's no way |
| 27577s | they go down so muse decides otherwise |
| 27578s | he's gonna help the rest of his team |
| 27580s | somehow fearless escapes one hp he gets |
| 27582s | finished by although but sparkle comes |
| 27584s | up clutch once again other healer down |
| 27585s | for toronto to find 50 seconds now |
| 27588s | remains for them to get it to that white |
| 27590s | box of victory the fuel they have closer |
| 27592s | sports sparkle still holding down |
| 27596s | on the payload |
| 27598s | with news falling this is toronto |
| 27600s | defiance time to back up go again |
| 27603s | make this a fight win nice kill into |
| 27605s | finale shut him down |
| 27608s | all right we're going into final fight |
| 27610s | territory |
| 27610s | the dallas fuel |
| 27612s | guri are moving quickly towards this bob |
| 27614s | they're going to need it in this fight |
| 27615s | cho wrong is going to have that rally |
| 27617s | and all those blade is coming up dallas |
| 27619s | fuel they're going to want to end this |
| 27621s | fight before it begins because toronto |
| 27623s | finder coming up on everything although |
| 27624s | his blade once again has to be massive |
| 27626s | finale sometimes have a pulse bomb these |
| 27628s | dps oats are going to be crucial to win |
| 27631s | this fight chorong starts the fight off |
| 27634s | with a rally keeping himself uh him and |
| 27636s | twilight healthy all those now on the |
| 27638s | side nice little deflect but the flames |
| 27639s | are burning blue although has to now |
| 27641s | back up he is so low finally throws the |
| 27643s | pulse doesn't find much and bob joins |
| 27645s | the fray the toronto defend now have to |
| 27648s | deal with six people carrier finale find |
| 27650s | kills but it is all dallas fuel right |
| 27652s | now for their feelings in the back line |
| 27654s | finale is dead carried down twilight |
| 27657s | but it don't matter |
| 27658s | [Applause] |
| 27661s | the dallas fuel |
| 27664s | in their |
| 27665s | hometown take the series 3-0 |
| 27669s | and they will face the gladiators |
| 27671s | tomorrow |
| 27673s | that's gonna be a match right there the |
| 27675s | dallas fuel fans getting up and about |
| 27677s | for the dallas win |
| 27678s | making it look easy there's some |
| 27680s | struggles and some pain points here for |
| 27682s | the dallas fuel dive and i think the |
| 27683s | other teams are going to be looking at |
| 27685s | this if you can force dallas fuel into |
| 27688s | these kind of maps they look vulnerable |
| 27691s | it's going to be a weekend where dallas |
| 27692s | fuel is going to have to shore up some |
| 27694s | holes |
| 27696s | if they're going to win the kickoff |
| 27696s | clash |
| 27697s | [Applause] |
| 27698s | they only lost one game coming into this |
| 27700s | and it was against the shock |
| 27703s | they wanted some revenge scott they |
| 27705s | really do |
| 27707s | they're ready to rock and roll crowd is |
| 27709s | definitely helping i'll tell you that |
| 27710s | right now |
| 27711s | being on there when uh being on stage |
| 27714s | when the crowd is just going crazy for |
| 27715s | every single kill you get like that is |
| 27717s | energy for the soul |
| 27719s | you hear it when you're on that stage |
| 27720s | you have those headphones on you hear |
| 27722s | every single cheer when you get that |
| 27724s | kill when you get that impactful moment |
| 27727s | the chi the fans let you know and that |
| 27729s | feeds you and that's what fuels you and |
| 27730s | it's awesome to see these players on |
| 27732s | stage feeding off of that and on top of |
| 27734s | that it's good to see dallas fuel |
| 27736s | feeding off of that because they didn't |
| 27737s | do that in their earlier series against |
| 27739s | the houston outlaws when they lost |
| 27741s | now that really warmed up |
| 27744s | that is for sure |
| 27746s | it's gonna be a heck of a weekend i'll |
| 27748s | tell you right now oh heck of three days |
| 27749s | because tomorrow there's |
| 27751s | some crazy ones but |
| 27753s | the last fuel did go close to the |
| 27754s | toronto define and define have another |
| 27757s | chance they're going to drop the losers |
| 27758s | bracket |
| 27759s | could make the run |
| 27761s | i think the toronto defiant had good |
| 27763s | looks other than midtown they looked |
| 27765s | incredibly competitive the lijiang tower |
| 27767s | could have easily gone towards the |
| 27769s | toronto defiant on that dorado finale |
| 27772s | looking phenomenal on the tracer there |
| 27774s | is many good things to look forward to |
| 27776s | for the toronto defiant |
| 27778s | and apparently according to the uh the |
| 27780s | crowd it's more than ten more dollars |
| 27783s | it's gonna be a good weekend |
| 27786s | i mean three that's more than you can |
| 27788s | ask for right |
| 27795s | we love you too dallas fans we |
| 27797s | appreciate you and so who does the |
| 27798s | dallas fuel with an incredible first win |
| 27801s | first of many i'm sure |
| 27804s | the cr grand texas is just so |
| 27806s | good |
| 27808s | i think we're gonna dump down though to |
| 27811s | the floor danny is down there with your |
| 27814s | boy chio |
| 27816s | thank you so much charles everybody give |
| 27817s | it up for chiyo and the dallas fuel |
| 27822s | amazing amazing stuff i'm sure all the |
| 27824s | fans over here are super proud of you |
| 27826s | and for the for dallas fuel as well now |
| 27829s | my first question for you is |
| 27831s | i feel like today against the toronto |
| 27832s | defiance uh dallas fuel were a lot more |
| 27835s | aggressive very high tempo uh was that |
| 27838s | just out of pure |
| 27840s | confidence that you guys could defeat |
| 27842s | the toronto defiant or was there you |
| 27843s | know something that you saw uh from |
| 27845s | toronto defiance that you know maybe |
| 27848s | they are bad at playing against a really |
| 27850s | aggressive playstyle |
| 27854s | [Applause] |
| 27860s | or |
| 27875s | um |
| 27890s | i mean because this was our first match |
| 27892s | and you know because we have to play in |
| 27894s | front of our crowd and there were a |
| 27895s | little bit of nerves involved so we |
| 27897s | decided to run with something that we're |
| 27900s | really comfortable and just |
| 27901s | go push as hard as we can and i think |
| 27904s | that's why uh we were seeing a lot more |
| 27906s | aggressive play style and it really |
| 27908s | worked it was 3-0 |
| 27913s | how do you feel |
| 27914s | um |
| 27928s | all right i mean yes like i said it was |
| 27930s | our first match so we were a little bit |
| 27932s | more nervous but you know uh it feels |
| 27934s | really good to win 3-0 against the |
| 27936s | toronto fight not only that we have all |
| 27937s | these fans cheering for us it really |
| 27939s | helped out thank you so much |
| 27943s | that was honestly i think uh that was |
| 27946s | also kind of my question as well my |
| 27947s | second question was you know this is |
| 27949s | your first time seeing the dallas not |
| 27951s | the first time but i mean in front of |
| 27953s | your home crowd in dallas so how did |
| 27955s | that make you feel just |
| 27958s | playing in front of all |
| 27980s | all right i do really feel great i mean |
| 27982s | not only were we able to show us or show |
| 27985s | dallas strength or dallas fuel strength |
| 27987s | but i feel like we |
| 27988s | had a lot of moments where a lot of our |
| 27991s | fans would have really really enjoyed so |
| 27993s | it really really does feel good |
| 27995s | i surely enjoyed it fast dallas jewels |
| 27997s | fans right you guys enjoyed it |
| 28001s | and this is only the first day baby |
| 28004s | let's go |
| 28005s | geo thank you so much for your time hope |
| 28008s | to talk to you soon with the |
| 28009s | interventions |
| 28012s | all right that is it for the postmatch |
| 28014s | interview let's head back to costa and |
| 28016s | jaws and hear what they have to say |
| 28019s | [Music] |
| 28021s | thank you danny |
| 28023s | of course what an unreal game from the |
| 28025s | lucio player like how many final blows |
| 28027s | like how much impact did he have he felt |
| 28029s | like as a dps player throughout that |
| 28031s | whole series |
| 28032s | every time it felt like the dallas fuel |
| 28034s | were losing traction she was coming off |
| 28036s | of a wall at like double the speed of |
| 28039s | everyone else getting incredible boots |
| 28040s | getting incredible plays and saving his |
| 28042s | teammates absolutely deserved |
| 28044s | performance and he is our player of the |
| 28046s | match for today he is indeed yeah |
| 28049s | unreal amounts of damage and that's the |
| 28051s | thing too when you're diving into |
| 28052s | winston they're doing a little bit of |
| 28054s | damage of traces obviously trying to |
| 28055s | clean up those skills right but it's you |
| 28056s | that's also there just |
| 28060s | pounding them into the dirt it feels |
| 28062s | very good that beat was unreal that |
| 28064s | saved him |
| 28066s | that man yeah absolutely chio had so |
| 28068s | many great sound barriers he was |
| 28069s | charging up very fast as well just |
| 28072s | really synergizing well with this dallas |
| 28074s | fuel team you know not a lot of people |
| 28075s | knew what to expect from him coming into |
| 28077s | this roster |
| 28078s | jackson was perfectly good for the |
| 28080s | dallas fuel and a lot of people were |
| 28081s | questioning the decision i'm hoping that |
| 28084s | the questions have simmered down now |
| 28086s | because chiro putting on a great |
| 28088s | performance so far today oh definitely |
| 28090s | yeah there's i don't think there's any |
| 28091s | questions about it now |
| 28094s | six final boys per 10 |
| 28096s | as a lucio player like what |
| 28099s | six final blows per tenth that's what |
| 28101s | you'd love to see three main sport |
| 28102s | another very aggressive main small |
| 28104s | player like funny astro for example like |
| 28106s | we've seen a lot of good aggressive |
| 28108s | lucio players come up not only through |
| 28110s | uh like contenders and tier two and |
| 28112s | jio is just one of the many right now |
| 28115s | and that's what you need you need one of |
| 28117s | those extremely aggressive |
| 28119s | lucio players to be diving with your |
| 28121s | tanks and sometimes it's a little tough |
| 28123s | if you're a little bit more reserved |
| 28124s | you're not getting as many final blows |
| 28126s | and as much damage as like geo is you |
| 28128s | just need to go just all in the paint |
| 28131s | sometimes just go to heart in the paint |
| 28132s | as a lucio i fed when i did that but |
| 28134s | you're proving that he's better than me |
| 28136s | yeah |
| 28137s | you also missed a couple of volts but we |
| 28138s | won't talk about that we won't talk |
| 28140s | about |
| 28140s | we're gonna jump to a quick break we'll |
| 28142s | uh we'll sort this difference out a |
| 28143s | little bit later on uh yeah yeah |

| 28421s | before we bring necro back in do you |
| 28423s | want to quickly gloat about our |
| 28425s | predictions let's do it do it let's do |
| 28427s | it do it let's bring them up let's take |
| 28429s | a look |
| 28430s | let's take a look at how right we were |
| 28432s | it doesn't happen so often to us right |
| 28434s | so we gotta take those w's when we can |
| 28436s | oh |
| 28437s | oh |
| 28438s | oh oh |
| 28440s | oh |
| 28442s | yeah wow |
| 28442s | actually really satisfying to see happen |
| 28445s | yeah up there in real time yeah |
| 28447s | eliminated |
| 28448s | absolutely uh failed |
| 28450s | i yeah make sure to everyone hit the |
| 28453s | costa up on twitter yeah we're too wrong |
| 28456s | what a guy i don't know if we can allow |
| 28458s | him back on yeah |
| 28459s | sorry anyway anyway yeah we just needed |
| 28462s | a minute here with with our friends yeah |
| 28464s | so now that that's done uh we can bring |
| 28465s | necro back in |
| 28467s | we didn't want to rub it in right necro |
| 28470s | i heard that |
| 28473s | i can hear everything i heard that |
| 28477s | here's everything he made me do it |
| 28480s | i couldn't do anything about it he's |
| 28481s | just so much taller it's okay okay i i |
| 28484s | take it i take it strongly it's okay |
| 28488s | it's okay |
| 28490s | all right you can you come back stronger |
| 28492s | tomorrow maybe we get everything wrong |
| 28493s | you never know uh because today's |
| 28495s | matches were kind of crazy and they were |
| 28497s | hard to predict so uh let's talk about |
| 28500s | the match we just got to watch dallas |
| 28502s | fuel looking very very dominant but i |
| 28505s | think johnson custer summed it up nicely |
| 28507s | when they said that there were some |
| 28509s | bright spots for the toronto defined as |
| 28511s | well maybe not necessarily a midtown but |
| 28514s | other than that there were definitely |
| 28515s | some moments where toronto defined fans |
| 28517s | they have good reason to hope are |
| 28520s | looking at a maybe a very successful |
| 28522s | lower bracket run so let's roll the |
| 28524s | match highlights and nekra what stood |
| 28526s | out for you in this particular match |
| 28531s | i think what stood out to me is just how |
| 28534s | well oiled dallas fuel looked overall i |
| 28537s | mean the first two rounds of legion they |
| 28538s | did look a little bit rough because it |
| 28541s | took dallas fuel a little while to be |
| 28542s | able to ramp up and they kind of left |
| 28544s | things till the last moment before they |
| 28546s | were able to take the point back but |
| 28548s | they did end up actually winning the map |
| 28550s | um and it was off the back of just chio |
| 28552s | sound barriers you know jaws and custard |
| 28554s | pointed out just how impactful chio was |
| 28557s | on that lucio pick and |
| 28560s | the efficiency of those sound barriers |
| 28562s | was incredibly staggering on lijiang |
| 28565s | alone chio had an average sound barrier |
| 28568s | efficiency of 4.67 |
| 28571s | and that was after the last one of the |
| 28573s | day it was at 4.8 before that on that |
| 28576s | map so it was just kind of incredible to |
| 28579s | watch just the rookies overall for the |
| 28581s | dallas fuel perform because gurio was |
| 28583s | also a standout |
| 28587s | absolutely yeah i think |
| 28589s | i really like the point you hit as well |
| 28591s | just how well |
| 28592s | oiled the dallas fuel were it's first |
| 28594s | thing i'm making a pun here with like a |
| 28595s | car and fuel and well oil but um you |
| 28598s | know like it was just a good display of |
| 28600s | course |
| 28602s | the dallas fuel here um yeah i i liked |
| 28605s | what um what costa and josh mentioned on |
| 28608s | the cast as well in midtown you saw the |
| 28609s | rotations the way they're approaching |
| 28610s | fights it's always different they have |
| 28612s | different kinds of approaches one fight |
| 28614s | we might want to be super aggressive |
| 28616s | with our graviton surge in other fights |
| 28617s | we want to peel back and maybe make some |
| 28619s | room for gurio on the ash pick or |
| 28621s | soldier etc right so it's that really |
| 28625s | that is really a science of being an |
| 28627s | elite team when you have have so many |
| 28629s | kinds of approaches so many kinds of |
| 28631s | rotations strategies in your pocket just |
| 28633s | like well we're going to do this with |
| 28635s | our ultimates and you can catch the |
| 28636s | opponent off guard so dallas fuel i mean |
| 28639s | this is why they are the best in the |
| 28640s | region just like the way they execute |
| 28642s | with so many creative ways like even the |
| 28644s | may on legion tower when he came out on |
| 28646s | control center they were just like yeah |
| 28647s | we're going to play we're going to play |
| 28649s | may with this comp and then we're going |
| 28650s | to ice wall away and like play tetris |
| 28652s | because that's what we do and they end |
| 28654s | up making it work right so how many |
| 28656s | teams in the league can pull it off not |
| 28657s | many and that's why the dallas fuel yeah |
| 28659s | it's very impressive considering that |
| 28660s | we're only a month into this it is uh |
| 28663s | you know there are a lot of new pieces |
| 28665s | to that dallas fuel puzzle and yet the |
| 28667s | coordination and the cohesion in that |
| 28669s | team is just so strong and you see that |
| 28671s | if you're playing a composition like |
| 28673s | azaria reaper composition that cohesion |
| 28675s | and those comes need to be on point you |
| 28677s | saw those disconnects uh between hopper |
| 28679s | and hisu where they weren't just fully |
| 28680s | aligned on on their approach and that |
| 28683s | makes your attack crumble immediately |
| 28684s | and yeah as you both say like dallas |
| 28686s | fuel they got their ducks in a row and |
| 28689s | it's working well for them a very |
| 28690s | dominant first day for the dallas fuel |
| 28692s | uh uh happy ending of course for their |
| 28694s | fans it's great to bring those w's home |
| 28697s | in front of your own crowd right so uh |
| 28700s | yeah we had so many |
| 28703s | great moments today that i gotta say uh |
| 28706s | choosing a best of the day was very very |
| 28708s | very difficult but we still manage |
| 28711s | however first i wanna once more take a |
| 28713s | look at the bracket |
| 28715s | before we are looking at all our silly |
| 28717s | highlight clips |
| 28718s | because we want to visualize how the day |
| 28721s | shaped up we did see san francisco shock |
| 28724s | and atlanta rain advance into the next |
| 28727s | round in the upper bracket as well as |
| 28730s | the l.a gladiators and the dallas fuel |
| 28732s | now |
| 28734s | is is there any of these two matches |
| 28736s | that you guys are especially hyped to |
| 28738s | see play out tomorrow i i have to say i |
| 28741s | think that um the l.a gladiators against |
| 28743s | dallas fuel it's going to be closed |
| 28745s | because i don't i i think elect letters |
| 28747s | you might have a bit of an unorthodox |
| 28748s | approach i think they'll they'll forfeit |
| 28750s | the story a match up they'll be like we |
| 28752s | can't match you on the zarya |
| 28754s | so maybe some reinhardt that's the thing |
| 28756s | they don't need to because they have the |
| 28757s | depth right they can play so many other |
| 28759s | things on such a high level that |
| 28761s | it might be hard though right necro for |
| 28763s | the dallas fuel like how do you prepare |
| 28765s | against the rosters such as the |
| 28766s | gladiators |
| 28768s | [Music] |
| 28769s | i think it's gonna come down to who's |
| 28771s | gonna be able to get those individual |
| 28773s | star moments i mean you just take a look |
| 28776s | across the board for both of the rosters |
| 28778s | of the los angeles gladiators and the |
| 28779s | dallas fuel and i was just looking at |
| 28782s | some of the all-time rankings for these |
| 28784s | players and los angeles gladiators has |
| 28787s | five out of their eight players in the |
| 28790s | overall best all-time rankings and |
| 28792s | dallas fuel has five out of seven and |
| 28795s | it's basically just the rookies that are |
| 28796s | left off the board there so star power |
| 28799s | a lot of confidence and then also just |
| 28802s | the fact that they have the play time |
| 28805s | it's |
| 28806s | gonna be a tough one |
| 28807s | yeah yeah that that's fearlessness just |
| 28810s | being able to like we're going it's the |
| 28811s | dallas field |
| 28813s | we'll come back be confident yeah that's |
| 28814s | that's that's what it's all about now uh |
| 28816s | let's take a look at the lower bracket |
| 28818s | here also dubbed the losers bracket |
| 28821s | well they technically are losers i mean |
| 28823s | that's |
| 28824s | relative |
| 28826s | they lost one match but i just i'm just |
| 28829s | having no in general in esports i felt |
| 28831s | like we made such a point of like no no |
| 28834s | it's upper and lower lower bra and now |
| 28836s | suddenly i don't know when the shift |
| 28837s | happens the underdog brackets |
| 28839s | the |
| 28840s | puncher operators amy i like it i like |
| 28842s | that we went back to winners and losers |
| 28843s | because that's that's what it was but |
| 28845s | yeah anyway uh let's take a look at |
| 28847s | those matches uh for those of course uh |
| 28850s | this is all or nothing they can make it |
| 28853s | run through the lower or the loser |
| 28854s | bracket or they're out last chance for |
| 28857s | each of those teams if you have to |
| 28860s | pick a one to make the run through which |
| 28862s | one is it for you necro |
| 28864s | [Music] |
| 28867s | i'm gonna give it to the washington |
| 28869s | justice i know they came in at eight oh |
| 28872s | but i'm backing them especially if |
| 28874s | they've got a happy whoo i mean take a |
| 28877s | look at the fact that the washington |
| 28879s | justice versus the san francisco shock |
| 28881s | match went five maps |
| 28883s | help you |
| 28886s | yeah i was about to say you ordered one |
| 28889s | serving of opium in the pre-show now i |
| 28891s | sense that maybe okay i'll take another |
| 28893s | one |
| 28894s | or a third |
| 28896s | more opium please i hope him to go |
| 28899s | please yeah which team do you think |
| 28901s | can |
| 28902s | make a realistic run oh |
| 28903s | well i actually i actually agree with |
| 28906s | nekra that i think washington justice i |
| 28908s | think that they could be a bit of a wild |
| 28910s | card down there because you have like |
| 28911s | toronto playing like samsaria you have |
| 28913s | houston outlaws they're like well are we |
| 28915s | playing lucio moyer with doomfist like |
| 28917s | who are we washington justice they know |
| 28919s | who they are they're like well we play |
| 28921s | mag winston we play a bit reactively and |
| 28924s | we play around that with tracer and |
| 28926s | soldier and that's what we do and if you |
| 28928s | play into us and let us do our thing |
| 28930s | we're real spooky so they might be |
| 28932s | spooky spooky yeah you don't want them |
| 28934s | you don't want angry spooky washington |
| 28936s | against you and somewhere in texas |
| 28939s | costa's screaming right now |
| 28942s | and for that alone this was worth it |
| 28944s | that won't be my best of the day uh alas |

| 29006s | headshot oh my goodness no well we |
| 29008s | rarely do right exactly like almost |
| 29010s | never and then it was two in one map |

| 29016s | anyway |
| 29018s | yeah |

| 29021s | anyway |
| 29022s | necro |
| 29023s | what was your favorite moment of the day |
| 29027s | well funny enough zoe it comes from the |
| 29029s | exact same match i'm looking at map |
| 29031s | number five of the match between the san |
| 29033s | francisco shock and the washington |
| 29036s | justice where we've got the battle |
| 29038s | cattle look at that we got mag on the |
| 29041s | orisa for more than like two seconds |
| 29044s | like it was a full team fight and a half |
| 29045s | or something absolutely nuts and then on |
| 29048s | top of that on li jiang tower as well |
| 29050s | this incredibly like |
| 29054s | five head stick coming in from the pulse |
| 29056s | bomb from proper there you go zoe i gave |
| 29059s | you another proper highlight to put into |
| 29061s | the reel um and then also just the last |
| 29064s | couple of moments the last couple of |
| 29066s | moments because this was actually a map |
| 29069s | five and the san francisco shock with |
| 29071s | this winning team fight did secure a |
| 29074s | reverse sweep so incredible stuff from |
| 29077s | just that series in that map alone |
| 29081s | yeah |
| 29083s | it was a great map it really was what a |
| 29085s | what an exciting way to start our day so |
| 29088s | uh yeah you love to see it uh going it |
| 29091s | really did uh yeah it's like doing 10 |
| 29093s | push-ups in the morning you're just like |
| 29094s | yeah yeah but then it followed up with |
| 29096s | like another super intense and fun match |
| 29097s | to watch so like we were really treated |
| 29100s | by by by law of some karma tomorrow is |
| 29103s | gonna suck |
| 29105s | no no no no no no no wait it's gonna be |
| 29108s | great guys |
| 29109s | just |
| 29110s | fantastic overwatch all around no three |
| 29112s | overwatch memes all right not yet |
| 29115s | they can be entertaining too speaking of |
| 29117s | entertainment yeah what got you today uh |
| 29119s | well uh a bit of a hope a bit of hope |
| 29124s | and i know sparkle did it a lot okay i |
| 29126s | know there was a lot of sparkle helix |
| 29128s | and like whoa |
| 29130s | but hotpot did it first okay so i gotta |
| 29132s | give some props to my man also dude this |
| 29136s | is just a perfect example of who you are |
| 29138s | look at these hops between the window |
| 29140s | the whole bit he's hopping between the |
| 29141s | windows to go test gets the graviton |
| 29144s | surge |
| 29145s | to win the fight look at that hopping |
| 29147s | he's just hopping around okay |
| 29149s | he's oh my god |
| 29151s | what is this breakdancing i don't know |
| 29153s | if you jump hop in breakdancing but it's |
| 29156s | absolute craziness like i've never seen |
| 29158s | it and this just that's just this is a |
| 29160s | perfect example of who hoff plays |
| 29161s | because you know he's a veteran in the |
| 29163s | league now i've seen him played for many |
| 29165s | years um |
| 29166s | i got to see him like practice of course |
| 29168s | when i was in the philadelphia fusion |
| 29170s | house in like 2018 2019 and stuff and he |
| 29172s | just grinds he just grinds ranked all |
| 29174s | the time like and he got that creativity |
| 29177s | as well to like try out abilities like |
| 29178s | oh maybe i could you know jump up here |
| 29181s | or like what if i'm like diva and i |
| 29183s | could like |
| 29184s | like send the self-destructs like that |
| 29186s | way you know stuff like that and like |
| 29188s | just being able to just like oh yeah |
| 29190s | it's uh it's 99 |
| 29191s | in um in this map of ours and i'm just |
| 29194s | gonna hop over and then hop back and |
| 29196s | then get my graviton surge and then when |
| 29197s | the fight runs like it's amazing |
| 29199s | brilliant there's such mechanics like |
| 29201s | any of us we would have hopped off that |
| 29203s | map like very quickly yeah |
| 29211s | exactly not quite enough uh now we do |
| 29213s | have great matches uh coming tomorrow of |
| 29216s | course so whatever i said before |
| 29218s | fantastic overwatch is coming your way |
| 29220s | so let's take a look at the schedule uh |
| 29223s | because uh there we go we're gonna kick |
| 29226s | things off with the eastern region |
| 29227s | that's right |
| 29228s | they are starting at their kick of clash |
| 29230s | tournament tomorrow and we're gonna see |
| 29233s | the philadelphia fusion taking on the |
| 29235s | hangzhou spark and afterwards the seoul |
| 29237s | dynasty will go up against the shanghai |
| 29240s | dragons |
| 29241s | just the idea of doing my pickums for |
| 29243s | them gave me headaches anxiety attacks i |
| 29246s | had a hard time picking those reinforced |
| 29249s | yeah i uh for me it was a coin flip i |
| 29251s | just asked costas for me |
| 29253s | is that the same like castle's opinion |
| 29255s | is literally the same as a coin flip is |
| 29257s | that what you're saying i didn't say |
| 29258s | that you said it i am kind of like that |
| 29260s | okay that's a mistake here is the |
| 29262s | western region exactly |
| 29265s | here are western region matches we're |
| 29267s | going to kick things off with the upper |
| 29269s | bracket between the san francisco shock |
| 29271s | and the atlanta reign after that we're |
| 29273s | going to see the gladiators take on the |
| 29275s | fuel and uh reiner made this one spicy |
| 29278s | already you know in his post-game |
| 29281s | interview trying to rile up that dallas |
| 29282s | track maybe he thrives on their hatred |
| 29285s | chaos on the chaos on the hatred be |
| 29287s | careful reddit will come for you |
| 29289s | exactly it's a dangerous game he's |
| 29292s | playing but we're all for it uh |
| 29294s | washington justice will take on the |
| 29296s | florida mayhem and the toronto defined |
| 29298s | and houston outlaws will battle it out |
| 29300s | to round out our day |
| 29303s | which of these matches necro are you |
| 29305s | gonna |
| 29306s | really really want people to keep an eye |
| 29308s | on pick a match any match pretty much |
| 29310s | any match |
| 29311s | well |
| 29312s | okay well i mean we talked about the |
| 29314s | gladiators versus the fuel that was |
| 29315s | definitely going to be kind of the primo |
| 29317s | match i think of |
| 29319s | the day but i also want to take a look |
| 29321s | at |
| 29322s | houston versus toronto the two teams |
| 29325s | that kind of stuck in their ways a |
| 29327s | little bit see how they |
| 29329s | bash together |
| 29332s | and it is such a short turnaround how |
| 29334s | much can a team realistically change in |
| 29336s | a tournament |
| 29338s | overnight i actually i actually smart to |
| 29340s | do changes well i in the big overhauls |
| 29343s | maybe no it depends on the confidence of |
| 29345s | our players if you tell your team just |
| 29346s | like |
| 29347s | yeah i think we're gonna play wrecking |
| 29349s | ball comps people are like oh oh oh like |
| 29352s | let's not do that but if you're like oh |
| 29354s | well we're playing the star composition |
| 29355s | and like we just weren't aggressive |
| 29356s | enough like what was going on we were |
| 29358s | too passive we didn't engage fast enough |
| 29360s | and like we know we can do better than |
| 29362s | this having a nice motivational speech |
| 29363s | we're going through the boats and like |
| 29365s | everyone's like oh we messed up this |
| 29367s | like just getting that jolt of like |
| 29369s | motivation that like yeah we know we can |
| 29371s | be more aggressive that can be one big |
| 29373s | change so i could even see some of these |
| 29374s | lower bracket teams making quite the run |
| 29377s | knowing that they are capable of better |
| 29378s | than they probably think they proved |
| 29380s | today yeah i mean on such a high level |
| 29382s | uh |
| 29383s | you know the players are very likely |
| 29385s | aware of what went wrong and why they |
| 29387s | lost like very rarely is this ever oh |
| 29390s | i've no idea what happened there |
| 29391s | scenario race |
| 29393s | it wasn't my fault it's like that's |
| 29394s | strange you guys figured out |
| 29397s | yeah so um probably probably not the |
| 29399s | case here so we're very very excited to |
| 29402s | see all those teams showing up nice and |
| 29404s | fresh tomorrow for their games and i |
| 29408s | can't wait to see my pickups burn some |
| 29410s | more we've got four and four today what |
| 29412s | are you yeah but i don't trust myself so |
| 29414s | i there is a high chance of getting a |
| 29416s | lot of things wrong and that's the joy |
| 29417s | of it right necro like that's that's |
| 29420s | what keeps it interesting |
| 29422s | yeah sure i'll call uh taking the l on |
| 29427s | the day enjoyable yeah |
| 29430s | it's hey it's a guessing game for all of |

| 29435s | getting something right because you |
| 29436s | literally had to guess like all of us |
