584s	and break through some of this defense
587s	overclock don't get taken out and fight
589s	to use
591s	this is what we were talking about had
593s	to commit that beat drop but a referral
594s	to me from Jim and that's actually the
597s	one on the hunt talking from Wicca
600s	an army of one and they have one last
603s	chance that's what we love to see it's a
605s	shiny
606s	sick and thought they could get an extra
607s	push well no more push no more
612s	what is up everybody I am excited to
617s	finally head into some OverWatch listen
619s	it has been a while you guys have been
621s	waiting a while to see some of this
623s	radiant Heroes major coming up my name
626s	is Gompers I'm a not so familiar face
628s	but with a very familiar face thibil I
631s	mean listen this is exciting calling all
634s	heroes is back last year we had calling
636s	all heroes program hosted throughout the
638s	fall with the challengers Cup and the
640s	Caster Camp which was awesome by the way
642s	you got to learn a lot of things from
644s	people like Zoe or even just you know
646s	people you admire uh in OverWatch but
649s	the challengers cup was our co uh our
651s	competitive circuit featuring two
653s	qualifier events and a championship
655s	tournament where all Tiora are timid ran
658s	away as the first calling all heroes
660s	champions ever I mean that's exciting
663s	and we finally get to see another
664s	champion quite soon but the speaker
666s	series was a resource for marginalized
668s	gender identities to learn from
670s	OverWatch League broadcast Talent on how
672s	to improve and get their foot in the
673s	door in casting in a safe environment
676s	but pibble listen the calling all heroes
678s	ecosystem looks a little bit different
680s	this year what's the program looking
682s	like yeah I mean a lot stayed the same
684s	but so much has changed at the same time
686s	and grown at the same time we have a
688s	whole
688s	year ish I can't do math I'm not going
691s	to do it right now but we have look at
692s	all this stuff on the calendar look at
693s	all these pretty colors we've got Majors
695s	we've got miners we've got last chance
697s	qualifiers we have this amazing
699s	championship event next February that's
701s	coming up in do the math for me amount
704s	of months but in the meantime we have
706s	all these tournaments so much structured
709s	potential opportunity for these teams to
711s	step up and show us what they got and
713s	it's all kicking off here today our
716s	first games of the year oh I'm getting
719s	all tingly thinking about it last year
722s	was so much fun right there were so many
724s	amazing parts of this brand new system
727s	that gets brought in calling all heroes
729s	hit like a meteor it was doing so well
732s	the numbers were so good everyone was
734s	talking about it the games were so much
736s	fun and if this year is anything like
739s	that we're gonna be good but something
741s	tells me it's gonna be even better
743s	I I feel like it is listen and what's
746s	better than given marginalized gender
747s	identities a chance to shine where they
750s	rightfully should I mean listen we have
753s	some incredible Talent today that is
755s	ready to Showcase their skills I I and
758s	I'm pretty forward as well we got to see
760s	some of that last year we got to build
761s	up some of those stories lines but we
763s	are building them up again today thibil
765s	and that's as exciting as it can get
767s	right so this is what the schedule is
769s	looking like we got three days of just
771s	pure OverWatch and I I love myself some
774s	OverWatch
776s	yeah you know me too funnily enough uh
778s	we we were discussing how long we've
780s	each been around and both of us have
782s	followed the game you know at varying
785s	degrees at varying times over the years
786s	now that we can say this game is almost
789s	six years old but Nana's again I won't
792s	do the math it might be more than that
794s	but like it's been around for a while so
796s	we've developed this love for the game
798s	and seeing it come through in this new
800s	format with new opportunities for people
802s	like you said who greatly deserve it I
805s	mean that's a treat we've got a whole
806s	weekend of games here coming up we've
808s	got the Swiss stage on our first two
809s	days top 16 move on to playoffs and
812s	there's some prizes on the line uh it's
815s	a new circuit there's a new system
817s	there's points you need those points to
820s	qualify for championships and to get
823s	into Champs you need to be showing up at
826s	Majors like this one this is the first
828s	of a couple
830s	um so this is really the chance now to
833s	like stake Your Mark early right first
835s	place walk away 900 points towards that
839s	qualifying and of course five grand
842s	it's five grand we love that here so
845s	teams now like the the system is
847s	concrete in in how you can make your way
850s	to the end of the road and I hope teams
853s	see that as a huge motivator because
855s	like it's all there for you you just
857s	gotta go take it
859s	and yeah it really is right in front of
862s	you right and you know we come into this
864s	and some of these players have actually
865s	played against each other probably
866s	formed a tea with the people they played
868s	against and really made this new
869s	connection so looking into this as well
872s	that's also something exciting is a
874s	really kind of feeling out what teams
875s	work well together
877s	um and you know we talked a little bit
878s	about altiora and that team in
882s	particular there's a lot of teams going
883s	on over there but they have placed at
885s	least last year in the top four
887s	consecutively so I feel like overall the
890s	name does not carry lightweight no no
894s	not at all I mean and that's literally
895s	one of the teams coming up in our first
897s	match which we'll we'll get to in a bit
899s	but altiora yeah it's not just a team
901s	it's a system it's it's a monolith
903s	except there's more than one that all of
906s	those teams were doing so well putting
908s	up competitive competitive showings
911s	every qualifier every event you know we
914s	we talk about top four like to
915s	consistently place up in that top four
918s	and frankly usually even a little bit
919s	higher like that speaks a lot I think to
922s	their organizational prowess but it's a
925s	new year and we have a lot of new teams
926s	like you said teams are shuffling around
928s	teams are doing whatever they feel they
930s	need to do to feel the best possible
932s	rosters we've got contenders teams
934s	jumping in we even have an OverWatch
935s	team coming in nixel Academy showing up
938s	a little later here in our show that I'm
941s	very excited to see like all eyes are on
945s	calling all heroes as we look towards
947s	this map Pool here it's got some fun
949s	ones it's got all of your favorites
951s	unless you don't like these in which
953s	case sorry dude uh see you next time
956s	um I'm excited to see just how teams
958s	either you know maybe they have some
960s	crazy pocket picks maybe they just pull
962s	from their favorites statistically folks
964s	we're getting Kings Row but
966s	you never know
968s	yeah you listen Kings Row is a popular
971s	one I can't blame you but
975s	I'm liking the format I'm liking what
977s	we're looking at I'm like in the map
978s	pools but another thing for me is listen
981s	there have been some updates with some
983s	Heroes whether it be nurse whether it be
985s	changes whether it be a new meta that
987s	might actually be cooking up which is uh
990s	it's you smell that it smells pretty
993s	good I feel like we're going to see some
994s	interesting stuff I mean as far as we
996s	know right life Weaver unfortunately is
999s	not going to be played uh
1002s	in this uh particular tournament so
1005s	that's not something that we're going to
1006s	be able to see so you know when we are
1010s	looking at something like that and it
1012s	feels like it could shift eventually uh
1015s	what we're probably going to see in
1017s	terms of Heroes but for now I I feel
1019s	like there's only one character that I
1021s	can think of that might slowly Pace
1023s	things
1024s	yeah yeah so I mean we've got uh we're
1027s	on live I guess right is is kind of the
1029s	best way to put it here we are on the
1031s	live patch with all of the recent
1033s	changes that came through and there were
1034s	a lot of them I won't go over all of
1036s	them now because we have to get to the
1037s	game at some point but a big one I think
1039s	is the inclusion of ramatra this is
1041s	gonna be the first time we see that hero
1043s	in calling all heroes uh life Weaver's
1045s	gone they're still working on them man
1047s	they got to figure out which button does
1049s	what you know which I get that's the
1051s	whole thing it's a whole process they
1053s	got to get through to like get that guy
1054s	polished up but romantra is ready to go
1057s	we've seen him in the Pro-Am already
1058s	we've seen him in invitationals and kind
1060s	of smaller scale tournaments over the
1062s	off season like he's already made his
1064s	mark on The Meta in such a big way
1066s	you're seeing teams try and lean towards
1068s	him experiment with him where does he
1070s	work on this map or that map or this
1072s	comp or that comp and this is now these
1075s	teams and this system's opportunity to
1077s	show what they can do with them
1079s	yeah and honestly I've been seeing a lot
1082s	of vermontra lately and rightfully so I
1084s	feel like with something so new you want
1086s	to try to pick at it and find the
1087s	capabilities find what it can do for
1089s	your team and that's what I really like
1091s	is that it really does feel experimental
1093s	a lot of the times in tournaments uh you
1095s	know especially calling all heroes where
1097s	everybody really just wants to find that
1098s	Comfort spot and again might just be
1101s	able to see that but what I'm more
1103s	interested in is where are those
1105s	Comforts lie for particular people now
1108s	if you know obviously we're going to see
1110s	two teams play against each other and
1112s	that's unironic versus altiora Summit we
1116s	talked about alteora before Fable and
1118s	listen again that name holds some heavy
1120s	weight
1121s	yeah it does I mean this is an
1123s	organization that has dedicated itself
1125s	to Fielding the best possible teams
1127s	wherever they go consistent High
1130s	performances in calling all heroes
1132s	showing up day in and day out the
1134s	resources and Logistics required to run
1137s	one team let alone multiple speaking
1139s	from experience folks it's a lot so
1141s	Bravo to the Altura system like all the
1145s	folks behind the curtains here making
1146s	this work but also to these players who
1149s	show up day in and day out to give us
1151s	some pretty amazing games we have a
1154s	great roster here setting up we got
1155s	snorty I love all the names we get to go
1158s	through all the fun names starting with
1160s	snorty you got you got new Becky you got
1164s	Kaiser you have elusive Hunter I've
1166s	never seen a two word username but I
1169s	love that so so much and I can only
1172s	expect good things from this team
1175s	yeah I mean they have kind of again when
1178s	you're looking at what their history is
1182s	with this particular organization not
1184s	the team in particular but uh you know
1186s	before when we talked about those
1188s	Victors coming up from multi Aura you
1190s	know it does carry kind of a weight on
1191s	you and you do have these expectations
1193s	these shoes to fill but I feel like they
1195s	will do absolutely just fine against our
1198s	next team which is going to be unironic
1201s	and listen again this team more so one
1204s	of these people who really are going to
1206s	try to carry some of that heavy weight
1207s	I'm seeing a Widowmaker I'm liking the
1209s	Widowmaker Maine that's honestly
1210s	personally one of my favorites but you
1213s	know most we're coming into this one
1214s	thibil uh what are we expecting from
1217s	this team I am I am expecting sheer
1219s	chaos from this roster and I'll tell you
1221s	why
1222s	um just looking at this graphic right we
1224s	got two players named after Pokemon so
1227s	you already know they're just gonna
1229s	you know they're these guys are Gamers
1231s	to the core I also want to shout out all
1233s	the way over to the right side of the
1234s	graphic here Nan socks
1236s	um full disclosure I've been in the
1239s	OverWatch League ecosystem this is not
1241s	to toot my horn this is important
1242s	background information I've worked for
1244s	the Florida Mayhem I've worked for the
1245s	London Spitfire I've done a lot of tick
1246s	tock stuff for them and my insox has
1248s	actually been one of my like assistants
1251s	like worker freelancer like content
1253s	creator people for years at this point
1255s	she's phenomenally funny she's really
1257s	good at what she does I hope she's good
1259s	at Lucio socks and telling you now if
1262s	you Ajax on my cast you're never gonna
1265s	live it down so I want from this team
1268s	like you're running into this big
1270s	established name I want a team like
1272s	unironic to show us like we're just
1275s	gonna go crazy we're gonna play our game
1276s	We're not gonna let them get comfortable
1277s	we're not going to let them rest on
1279s	their Laurel so to speak we're still
1281s	going to give them that good fight
1282s	because we're just insane and that's
1285s	just how we want to play the game that's
1286s	the kind of energy I want from them as
1288s	we look at our first map here you know
1289s	what now I feel like I feel like the
1290s	pressure's on
1294s	so yeah I think you're sorry to uh yeah
1296s	you're gonna have to really bring it I
1299s	believe
1300s	but yeah I mean listen we're looking at
1302s	that first Peg here going to control
1315s	golfers is gone so we're getting into
1318s	Helios here we'll get her back in a sec
1320s	I think it's a little mic disconnect
1321s	them did I hear you again
1323s	nope okay we're good getting on Ilias
1326s	don't quite know where we're starting
1327s	just yet this is just a little fly over
1329s	some some pretty visuals for you
1332s	viewfinders looking out over the edge
1334s	sea
1335s	um this is a great map and an historic
1338s	kind of control map here uh most of them
1340s	are you know these are where a lot of
1342s	like the original release Maps they have
1343s	a lot of history a lot of great matches
1345s	played on ilios here so I'm excited to
1348s	see what teams can bring out like we
1350s	were talking about kind of a top show
1352s	there's so many different things teams
1353s	could be running we've seen some rhyme
1355s	we've seen some Winston we've seen the
1357s	Matra we've seen like collusion on the
1359s	diva which is kind of just a collage
1361s	thing at the same time I'm down like I'd
1364s	be down for that
1365s	um even if you go back as far as like
1367s	run it back to China which was one of
1369s	the last sevens I casted we were seeing
1370s	like doomfist a good amount you know
1372s	like getting a little Dante Vibe Gompers
1374s	do I hear you back I am I am there we go
1377s	hello I love the mic sorry it kind of
1379s	left me for a second it looked so much
1381s	it tried to run away yeah the game was
1383s	gonna start and it was like nah I don't
1385s	want to hear this
1388s	just doing the pre-show right and then
1390s	simple is going to solo cast the rest of
1392s	it yeah I think that was the plan
1395s	listen different plan so obviously
1398s	coming into play we're starting off
1400s	obviously on Elio's and I'm more so
1403s	excited for this because this is one of
1406s	my favorite map picks that you could
1408s	possibly choose so good yeah it's
1411s	already interesting yeah so we got 30
1414s	seconds here obviously the teams are
1416s	probably gonna be fooling around with
1417s	their compositions I'm not going to
1418s	really seriously get into the junk tour
1420s	but I'm seeing from alteora Summit if
1423s	they run out of Spawn with it we'll
1424s	maybe talk but for now I think they're
1427s	all going to flick their DPI switches
1428s	and just hit all of the breakable panels
1431s	do whatever they do
1433s	um maybe I can see a couple of these
1436s	maybe taking shape as we start to get
1437s	into it the diva from frostless I think
1439s	is pretty cool it's already over on the
1441s	rematch or the start would make a lot of
1443s	sense we've been seeing a lot like in
1444s	the program and stuff like that
1445s	Cassandra as well that's Metro swapping
1448s	back over to a tracer for reality
1450s	standard pick for that early TP as they
1452s	take a quick yeah it's already looking
1455s	interesting too right on ironic trying
1457s	to take that High Ground just give it
1459s	into their skills and allowing that team
1460s	to really push in towards that site the
1462s	biggest worry for me right now is that
1464s	you know we've already collected a site
1466s	uh the point as a whole here for ulti or
1468s	Summit now they just gotta keep it at
1470s	this point with you know shots already
1472s	coming down the biggest thing for me is
1473s	I'm liking that Bastion the damage could
1475s	definitely come through they just really
1477s	gotta find that opening especially with
1478s	all these close Corners coming in it
1480s	actually looks like a quick swap back
1482s	off of that bash over onto the echo as a
1485s	instant Hunter got that early pick to
1487s	secure early percentage for Summit Fox
1490s	last trying to find an opening trying to
1491s	just hold a little spacer on this Diva
1493s	has to be careful not to get D Max with
1494s	all this damage coming through Hunter
1496s	goes low and forces Isuzu actually we're
1499s	crossing 20 oh it's still no major
1501s	contest
1503s	is good enough for them
1506s	already with the Tracer trying to make
1508s	some damage listen Trace is a very very
1510s	hard hero to try to connect with it
1512s	feels like that's what's showing right
1514s	now not able to make the connections not
1516s	able to assist with the team and overall
1518s	really just losing out on this fight and
1520s	this fight was big it allowed them to
1521s	point here coming through from Baltimore
1523s	they keep themselves intact and now
1526s	you've got some pushback coming through
1527s	and this is big we talked about the
1529s	Ramada and we're Matra and we're seeing
1531s	it live in action how well it can play
1534s	into that push-pull yeah once you really
1537s	establish yourself vermontra's such a
1539s	good like hard point control character
1541s	throwing the shield out immediately
1543s	popping a ravenous Vortex right in front
1545s	of it it's like you're not gonna walk up
1546s	to me dude it's not gonna happen
1548s	Starfire's going over to the torbjorn
1550s	Pierce as we see I almost expected whip
1553s	to swap with that katsune rush but I
1555s	suppose not on ironic making another
1556s	attempt here some bolts coming online
1558s	they're going for an early picture
1559s	reality manages together 38 HP
1563s	the tour turn to me is an interesting
1565s	pick which you know I'm kind of digging
1567s	it right now they're keeping the point
1568s	on lockdown exactly what you need to do
1570s	right now who's not in the fight though
1572s	right you already miss out on some of
1573s	that EPS damage and look what happens
1575s	now you missed the fight and you lose
1578s	the point
1579s	yeah that one I feel like Summit just
1581s	took a a little too much dip on that
1583s	chip right you try and push out you try
1585s	and not let an ironic kind of establish
1588s	a beachhead to then attack the point but
1590s	with that early pick coming through from
1592s	reality you lose a lot of your point
1593s	control the turret goes down cannot be
1596s	replaced torbjorn's damage in and of
1598s	itself is pretty impressive if you get
1600s	them in the right spot so suddenly that
1602s	pick really opens you up and unironic
1604s	we're able to quickly take advantage of
1607s	that they used a couple ultimates that
1608s	self-destruct out of kill the duplicate
1610s	I don't think got too much a reality
1612s	already with another pulse bomb it goes
1614s	out doesn't get anything but still
1616s	looking for those openings again wants
1617s	to maintain control it's already 84 for
1619s	all yours so they need to make this
1621s	stretch
1622s	yeah I I feel like the way things are
1624s	looking right now unfortunately not
1626s	gonna be able to do much as that Tracer
1628s	is going to have to find another way to
1631s	give in some of that damage to assist
1632s	but you can see right there but it's
1634s	support really knocking down on that
1636s	Diva giving into some of that space
1638s	trying to keep the point right now
1639s	especially if they lose this fight
1641s	altiora they have themselves a possible
1643s	dub pushing it back down
1646s	unless oh and already booth and this is
1649s	perfect actually opens up things so
1651s	nicely to the point where now the Ramada
1652s	can't do anything and they're left alone
1654s	to fight things all for themselves
1657s	socks socks here with a good fight shout
1661s	out to socks we love her here that was a
1664s	boot
1664s	a zoning Boot and a pretty good sound
1667s	barrier to keep them in the fight after
1668s	losing both of their DPS early you
1671s	started that fight at 34 and you're
1673s	about to equalize here as well so a full
1676s	minute almost of control thanks to some
1678s	heads up play between Frost lights and
1680s	socks and whipped as well I don't want
1682s	to you know throw anybody under the bus
1683s	there it wasn't even his fault but like
1685s	some major standout performance in that
1687s	fight in Kaiser sitting on the flank
1689s	looking for a cheeky little back cap
1690s	situation as we get into the 90s here
1694s	yeah not doing much though you can see
1696s	the ultimate popped out coming through
1699s	from the kiriko now okay
1702s	utilizing their abilities to make sure
1704s	that they can keep themselves locked
1705s	down and barely missing out on that
1707s	damage it's just a Battleground two big
1710s	brawny people just fighting it out to
1713s	the death and nobody goes down until the
1716s	other says so now it looks like all two
1718s	or a summit right they've lost that
1719s	really big impact that really kept
1721s	things together with the mermatra and
1722s	they lost that fight just the consistent
1724s	two fights back to back there from
1726s	unironic allowed them this opportunity
1730s	but I mean that's so emblematic of
1731s	control right we talk a lot about you
1734s	know whoever wins the first fight is
1735s	like 65 or 70 likely to win the whole
1738s	round on control but the times of that's
1741s	not true like this one are when you can
1744s	bring it back you know whatever they've
1746s	got 85 who cares here's what we're gonna
1749s	do right they approached their control
1751s	of the point with such a solid plan
1754s	their mechanics obviously you know
1757s	they're popping off they're clicking
1759s	heads they're doing things they need to
1760s	do their ultimate cycling though I think
1762s	is really what got them there right Sox
1765s	is popping off with a pretty good beat
1766s	across those fights just keep people
1768s	sustained just get people back in fights
1771s	make sure that they're approaching them
1772s	at full strength which is so big the
1775s	duplication there at the end the first
1777s	one I didn't think got too much for God
1778s	of War but the second one as ramachar
1780s	just the pure stall we are just rock and
1783s	sock'em robots in each other like it's
1786s	the little moments it's the clever use
1788s	of those ultimates that won them that
1789s	round and that's what you need to do to
1791s	pull out wins against the big team of
1793s	lto summit now Summit I mean you're on
1795s	kind of back foot here you've got to
1796s	figure out what to do yeah I'm talking
1798s	about pulling out wins I feel like if
1800s	we're looking at something actually
1801s	perfect timing I was about to talk about
1802s	the echo what I really love about this
1805s	is that this map in particular really
1807s	gives into those spaces those cracks and
1809s	crevices that allows you as an echo to
1811s	move backwards you see that already
1813s	trying to create some of that damage and
1815s	also allowing them some space because of
1817s	these buildings creating those
1818s	obstructions so this is perfect for an
1821s	ironic I mean already winning out on
1823s	that first snap now coming into this
1824s	able to control not only that space on
1827s	the point but also the extremities as
1828s	well yeah so much flexibility and
1831s	fluidity in your sight lines and your
1833s	cover here is why we've often seen
1835s	aerial Heroes this is one of the
1836s	original like pharah Mercy standby Maps
1839s	which you know what deals with an aerial
1840s	hero a 12 yard reality getting the kill
1843s	on a lucid Hunter there but it's pretty
1844s	bad
1846s	some of the people already froze last
1849s	coming Town able to utilize the
1852s	self-destruct but it seems like only
1854s	getting a turret so you know you leave
1856s	yourself unscathed the kiriko ends you
1859s	off that's fine but your state your team
1861s	is still trying to come along they don't
1862s	want to fight this though without the
1864s	one or else that would be a mistake
1865s	making the mistake of pushing in without
1869s	illusion
1871s	snorty left the shallow end of the pool
1874s	and found out pretty quickly that was a
1875s	little too deep for their tastes socks
1877s	popping off here in the back I'm just
1879s	gonna Point her out all the time I'm
1880s	sorry I shouldn't do that the unironic
1882s	in general is having an unironically
1884s	good round I promise I won't do that too
1886s	much either they have some alts here to
1888s	cycle Summit coming online though with a
1890s	lot of them themselves and really I mean
1892s	you're running into last fight territory
1894s	pretty quick here uh if you're not going
1896s	to use these now like are you saving it
1898s	for OverWatch 3 uh let's get like I'm
1900s	figuring like a nano here we'll probably
1902s	get some good knowledge but whipped with
1904s	an early consumer Rush Oh and I was
1907s	excited for that because watching them
1908s	play that sneaky role there as the
1909s	Tracer
1911s	for reality allowing the pole spawn to
1913s	come through now we're able to see
1914s	things go Haywire monkey goes crazy and
1918s	right now turning it back over the echo
1921s	gaining some of that ground gaining some
1923s	of that space again and you see it again
1925s	unironic just consistently not allowing
1928s	old Tiora to even think about the
1931s	possibility of gaining that point
1934s	the one pick you actually boosted there
1936s	just to make sure that they touch and
1939s	stay alive which does work but
1941s	ultimately like trickling back on like
1943s	this is fortunately not gonna be what
1946s	gets it for you the wrecking ball does
1947s	make it back in the remake does not do
1950s	the stuff anybody as fun as that would
1952s	be I think it's pretty much all over but
1953s	the crying here on Elias wow yeah
1957s	a nice Victory already starting off that
1961s	first game going towards unironic and is
1965s	it unironic maybe because it does seem
1968s	like it was a well-deserved win but we
1970s	still got a little bit more to go I feel
1972s	like the biggest thing though that I do
1974s	want to talk oh this Boop I remember
1975s	this very very vividly this was
1978s	Immaculate coming off from here I mean
1981s	listen you actually said you wanted to
1983s	see something come through from neon
1985s	socks right and I think you got it yeah
1988s	yeah I mean I'm definitely putting her
1989s	under the microscope for this one just
1990s	because it's me uh which I prom I won't
1993s	harp on that too much this series will
1995s	not be fun if all I do is talk about
1996s	what she's doing in the kill feed or
1997s	whatever but
1999s	ironically that was a good map from her
2002s	and from unironic as a whole they manage
2005s	their ultimates extremely effectively
2006s	when they had control the point they did
2009s	not let go they were so good at taking
2012s	advantage of like hey the Tank's just a
2014s	little too far forward we're gonna get
2017s	you for that we have a tracer on the
2019s	flank we're gonna get you with that like
2021s	they were consistently turning that
2023s	around making their win conditions work
2025s	fight over fight ultimates are not
2027s	neutral fights are not like that's the
2030s	kind of results you need to be pulling
2031s	consistently across the map to be able
2034s	to take a series from a team like this
2036s	and now they're only one map away I mean
2038s	this is first to two these Series so
2040s	it's not like you have time to readjust
2043s	or retool your strategies like you need
2045s	to turn this around immediately if you
2048s	want to force a decider map for all TRS
2050s	Summit and I don't think that's
2052s	necessarily where they thought they
2053s	would be by the end of aliens yeah no I
2055s	me either I feel like there was a lot of
2057s	fight but again I talked about the echo
2060s	coming through and it really did feel
2061s	like that was a major part uh as to the
2063s	pressure that unironic was really
2064s	feeding into and the Tracer just
2067s	consistently going towards that back
2068s	line destroying it completely and
2070s	allowing themselves even more ground to
2072s	cover was amazing from unironic but I
2074s	want to talk about something else that
2076s	is amazing of course listen again and I
2078s	know you guys are writing so long for
2080s	the hero major to come through for
2081s	calling all heroes but if you're
2083s	enjoying the radiant Heroes major you
2085s	can support radiant and all of their
2087s	initiatives by buying some sweet sweet
2089s	merch at the radiant dot store if you're
2092s	interested but yeah I mean it's look at
2095s	that I I completely forgot we had a
2096s	graphic for this voice it was a graphic
2099s	and it's good I looked at those shirts
2101s	and immediately it was like oh man
2103s	I'm about that I I love the design I
2106s	love sort of the The Starry like
2108s	constellation sort of vibe I think that
2111s	gets a lot of mileage here in calling
2112s	now Heroes we we love a good astrology s
2116s	shirt out here you know
2118s	um and yeah like you said that supports
2120s	everything radiant does they are such a
2122s	present voice uh and force uh in Esports
2127s	working for initiatives like calling all
2129s	heroes uh and generally just making the
2131s	scene a better place for all of us and
2134s	we need a little bit more of that and to
2135s	get a little bit more of that sometimes
2137s	you gotta buy a cool t-shirt or
2139s	something you know so go buy a cool
2140s	t-shirt so we can get more of stuff like
2142s	this because that's really that's how it
2144s	happens you tune in you buy a t-shirt
2146s	you say hey that was great and and then
2148s	we get more of that that's how this
2149s	works
2154s	listen listen uh overall okay all in all
2158s	uh kind of redirecting uh back over to
2161s	the game right from unironic versus
2164s	altiora Summit I I guess I'm wondering
2167s	from your opinion thibil
2169s	um as the big brain analysis bring me
2172s	bring me bring me something on a platter
2173s	I want to hear it uh sure what do you
2176s	feel like I mean really went wrong there
2178s	for altiora I guess I guess I'd say in
2180s	that second game because it felt like on
2182s	ironic didn't even give a chance
2184s	mind Palace mind Palace I got it I I
2187s	think the the main thing there as we do
2190s	get our map pick King's Row we'll talk
2192s	about that in a second
2193s	um right yeah I told you guys did I not
2196s	did I not say
2197s	um I I think the main thing with
2199s	unironic is is kind of what I called at
2201s	the top of the show like they need to be
2202s	aggressive they need to force alteor off
2204s	of their game force them off of their
2207s	usual rhythms or picks or what have you
2209s	uh and I think on ironic the moment they
2211s	kind of figured out like here's what we
2213s	got we're on point here's what we're
2215s	gonna do with it we're gonna talk this
2216s	through we're gonna have a plan once
2219s	they have that like I said you just
2221s	couldn't get them to do anything else
2223s	they were they were a dog with a bone
2225s	you know like very stubborn very willing
2228s	to change up the flow move at a
2231s	different Tempo I talk a lot about
2233s	OverWatch having a certain Rhythm team
2236s	fights generally take blah blah amount
2238s	of time regrouping generally takes blah
2240s	blah amount of time therefore every blah
2242s	blah you get a fight like that has been
2244s	inconsistent across years and years and
2246s	years of OverWatch the teams that can do
2250s	well and the teams especially that can
2252s	upset bigger seeds are the teams that go
2255s	hey they probably expect us to take
2257s	another 10 seconds to regroup before we
2259s	fight let's go right now let's go right
2262s	now and then suddenly you're fighting
2265s	and if you're if you're good you can
2267s	usually handle that but if if it catches
2269s	you off guard you can suddenly be like
2271s	oh wait how did we do what and I think
2276s	an ironic took great advantage of that
2278s	there were moments where snorty got a
2280s	little off-kilter a little staggered out
2282s	a little caught unawares pushed a little
2285s	too far forward what have you reality on
2287s	the flank right we talked about that
2289s	that's a way to break up the tempo
2290s	because if they are regrouping and once
2293s	you are a summit was trying to figure
2294s	out how to walk on the point and you've
2297s	got to trace in your backline already
2298s	taking out your toy gun or dropping a
2300s	pulse bomb or whatever that's gonna
2302s	throw off your game yeah so I think for
2305s	Summit now it's like okay we've seen
2307s	what they can do we know this team is
2310s	going to play that aggressive like break
2312s	it up sort of style they're maybe gonna
2314s	have some flanky bits or go for a sniper
2316s	pick even I don't I don't know uh you
2319s	know how much of a grasp these teams
2320s	have on like the Kings Row meta big
2323s	airports there
2325s	um I I think you just need to respect as
2327s	Summit like they're gonna be coming at
2329s	us yeah fast so what do we do about that
2332s	talk that out haven't been bit of a
2334s	counter plan and we can easily see this
2336s	go to a third Mountain
2339s	I think we will reality though is kind
2341s	of relaxing eating chilling yeah
2345s	Sushi I love that for him they're eating
2348s	what they're cooking because I mean it's
2349s	flavorful right now from that last map
2352s	and I I have to I have to agree with
2354s	everything you said though relating to
2356s	all to your summit it was a lot of that
2357s	backline pressure that was coming
2359s	through and majority of it as well not
2361s	pushing in as a team missing out on
2363s	those opportunities but those
2364s	opportunities are we going to see them
2366s	today already looking at that Reinhardt
2369s	starting goes down and that's not gonna
2371s	be a good case because it's just
2373s	consistent Frost last is just an overall
2377s	I I mean impeccable gameplay
2380s	I I would this is where I would make
2382s	some like cool Pokemon joke or reference
2384s	I haven't played Pokemon since like
2386s	Emerald though so Pokemon good we love
2389s	Pokemon out here
2390s	um and I think honestly the big thing to
2392s	talk about there is the Romantic Empire
2394s	you've seen that so much in the program
2396s	it was a big topic of like what makes a
2399s	team of Reinhardt team versus a matcha
2401s	team or a player versus a player
2403s	um and I think right now we need to see
2405s	that match up like Summit needs to take
2407s	advantage of what Ryan can do over a
2410s	monster walk forward through the shield
2411s	get some swinging in keep them alive as
2415s	a Reinhardt player I feel for snorty
2417s	right now because my guy he's just
2419s	getting a little caught out and there's
2420s	not hardly anything that our team can
2423s	really do
2425s	yeah yeah especially with frost class
2427s	and you know we talked about the
2428s	vermontra coming in and taking over the
2432s	game quite possibly even you know just
2434s	uplifting that meta a bit and putting
2436s	that into
2437s	currently the major and it seems like
2439s	that's exactly what's happening Frost
2441s	last taking that first initiative to
2444s	make sure everybody is well cared for
2446s	but the view of coming through snorty
2448s	tries to find for something and even
2450s	then the ultimate it's not enough you're
2453s	able to see May really touch down on the
2454s	point but I mean Gardevoir can't really
2458s	touch for something that comes right
2460s	back around down royalty or Summit
2462s	missing out on this fight big
2463s	opportunity loss and now they have to
2465s	fight for it again but you got one
2466s	minute and 55 seconds left
2469s	yeah you're about halfway through the
2470s	time bank here you've made a couple
2472s	swaps you're making another elusive
2474s	going over onto the Cassidy there you
2476s	Becky going over to the Anna going
2478s	probably for a an Electric Cowboy
2480s	situation as we call it but unironic
2482s	look at their ultimate bank here they
2484s	only really needed to use the blizzard
2486s	you know the pick onto a loser you're
2488s	just gonna walk up you're gonna try and
2489s	like really Force this fight lead as
2492s	much time as possible if you're all
2493s	tourist Summit you need to be backing
2495s	all the way up you're a man down elusive
2497s	Hunter gonna be coming back here in just
2498s	a second but they're gonna take some
2499s	time they're not on a particularly fast
2502s	hero and yeah on ironic didn't even need
2504s	to use them it was just a pit
2507s	reality getting some really good shots
2509s	through unfortunately though the Kiva
2511s	you can see snorty wait wait wait star
2515s
2518s	they were they were trying to touch down
2520s	on that unfortunately not able to really
2523s	get much now the romantra comes through
2525s	Frost last make sure the pushback is
2527s	there and again it's always unironic
2529s	finding you know just those really
2531s	really distinct openings from altiora
2533s	and it felt like right there a big one
2535s	was starfee actually you know being a
2537s	bit distracted and coming away from the
2540s	team just to utilize their ultimate to
2542s	possibly you know just account for
2544s	something
2544s	yeah I mean it's it's kind of a classic
2546s	junkrat Strat you're gonna go off so you
2548s	don't get picked while the tire is going
2550s	but like you said that does tape you out
2552s	of the fight in a big way you are not
2554s	there a lot of bombs and you go for the
2557s	pickup on ironic have your number on
2559s	that the one good thing for Summit is
2561s	that they did Force some ultimates of
2563s	these picks coming through from reality
2565s	there's no room to breathe there's 15
2567s	seconds on the clock here
2570s	in 15 seconds is just enough for an
2572s	ironic to clean things up the way that
2574s	they have been doing but also your uh
2576s	listen they've been playing immaculately
2578s	so far
2580s	it seems like
2582s	it's going to continue although elusive
2584s	trying to find something getting the
2586s	shots down this is perfect utilizing
2588s	this combo down with the back teeth and
2591s	creating something big it doesn't matter
2594s	if 15 seconds was there it was all to
2595s	your to take it yeah I mean I suppose 15
2599s	seconds is enough to capture her Point
2601s	uh sometimes uh and good for them right
2604s	like sticking through not giving up like
2606s	maintaining that mental of like yeah I
2609s	know those fights if we can just not get
2611s	picked by the Hanzo we can win this and
2613s	that buys them another two and a half
2615s	minutes to make their way through Street
2616s	space it's already here on the wrecking
2618s	ball looks like maybe gonna stay on that
2620s	for now we're approaching uh another rip
2623s	Tire we're not too far from another
2625s	sound barrier as well unironic with just
2627s	a blizzard close to that Dragon strike
2629s	as well that movie comes out early and
2630s	whipped happy to take advantage
2633s	happy to take advantage happy
2636s	to count your gardevoort
2639s	really just shooting it down I mean the
2640s	biggest thing is that they have somebody
2641s	in their back lines but it doesn't feel
2643s	like the backlinks have been working so
2644s	far and this is one of the adaptations
2646s	staple that I feel like Ultra really are
2648s	trying to count down on but I'm just not
2651s	seeing it working they they tend to miss
2654s	out on some of that opportunity the junk
2656s	right getting down now you see we're
2658s	gonna be able to see the dragon strike
2659s	come through and allow for us some of
2661s	that space to push it back in now
2664s	they're just subjected to spawn I mean
2666s	the star of that show was the May wall
2668s	right there so sticking a May wall and
2670s	then throwing a dragon strike at it can
2671s	only be described as cool you know
2674s	starfish now stuck stuck a little behind
2677s	a little pulled out that's just gonna
2679s	steal another 12 or 15 seconds however
2682s	much that spawn timer is away Frost last
2685s	now with an Annihilation such a huge
2687s	point for having ultimate and uh the
2690s	other good point presence ultimate is uh
2692s	shooting elusive Hunter directly in the
2693s	skull because that definitely puts the
2696s	stop to summons attempts on this one
2699s	yeah for altiora right now though
2702s	you can see Star five star feet is
2705s	cooking up something
2707s	I mean they're able to utilize yep we're
2708s	gonna be able to see it right now what's
2710s	gonna happen trying to climb up the wall
2712s	find an opening
2714s	I mean the Lucio goes down that's big
2717s	enough right taking out the support for
2719s	unironic which is exactly what they
2720s	needed as the ramatra a big factor as to
2724s	why the game has been going the way it
2725s	has
2726s	yeah I mean frostless has been putting
2728s	on such a clinic if we're not going to
2730s	talk about reality we should then talk
2731s	about Frost lasts in terms of like
2733s	extremely valuable performances on this
2735s	map so far uh though of course the
2737s	team's firing at all cylinders really uh
2740s	but I mean just that little opening here
2743s	and there right taking socks down with
2744s	that rip Tire suddenly gives multi or a
2747s	summit The Edge and again time is
2749s	ticking down shattered but it gets
2752s	blocked by the rematch Shield the beat
2754s	comes through from socks it's not age
2756s	action it's not only twenty dollars does
2759s	get one pick but it looks like this is
2761s	where the part's going to stop for all
2763s	Jewelers
2766s	it all started with the Nerf shatter and
2768s	it all ended with an impeccable over
2771s	time we still got one more though and if
2774s	they can hold it back here for Old
2776s	Europe I genuinely do believe that we
2778s	can see I mean something else the
2781s	potential that can come through I really
2783s	did like the junkrat I felt like a lot
2785s	of that damage was showing but a lot of
2787s	the time I felt like we weren't getting
2788s	as much I guess impact with the
2791s	ultimates as we were from on ironic I
2793s	mean you saw the the comparison between
2795s	the May ultimates right you saw a come
2798s	out from an ironic and it was ten times
2800s	just just better when you're looking at
2803s	it so I feel like Ultra they really need
2804s	to fix that timing and find you know
2806s	those really really technical spaces
2809s	yeah it's it's so difficult to like
2812s	establish that united front and walk in
2814s	with that coordinated sort of
2816s	choreography when on two-thirds of those
2820s	fights I would probably say reality
2822s	starting off with pick right like if
2825s	you're approaching 60 of the fights
2828s	with one player already down you're
2831s	you're gonna have a bad time you know
2833s	like it's just not gonna go too well for
2834s	you so I think the big thing here for
2837s	Summit like you know that reality is
2839s	going to be looking for these sniping
2841s	flanking like disruptive sort of picks
2843s	and you know reality is going to get
2846s	that work done because she's been doing
2849s	it this entire Series so far she's been
2852s	showing up she's having a day get out of
2854s	her way you know stay in cover Play Safe
2857s	Play smart like try and make something
2859s	happen here but respect what has been
2862s	coming through from this team because if
2864s	you're just gonna walk across the sight
2865s	Line Reality is going to take your head
2867s	off and you really can't afford that
2868s	when you were barely making it to Street
2871s	space on your own
2872s	uh okay it's not reality I mean they
2875s	they kind of curled the monkey's paw on
2876s	that one yeah we won't get hit by
2877s	reality we can pick my particle instead
2880s	on the Storm arrows yeah actually
2882s	getting that recharge and everything you
2885s	talked about it you said reality was
2887s	going to Chomper at all and you were
2890s	right right now reality again playing in
2893s	that DPS will completely fit for them
2895s	but I have to say I'm actually
2896s	pleasantly like surprised by what we're
2899s	seeing
2900s	yeah I mean this team is putting on such
2903s	a performance here like
2904s	the comparison
2906s	540 to get about halfway through the
2909s	Street's face is uh in professional
2911s	OverWatch terms pretty good pretty good
2914s	uh you've got all this time to build up
2916s	ultimates to get a pick to just make
2918s	something happen and who knows if they
2919s	even need all that time they might do it
2921s	right now
2923s	are cardboard
2925s	trying to push themselves in get some of
2927s	their skills down before they start the
2929s	fight again the nice headshot coming out
2932s	so far in the wall to push
2935s	to it I mean so far the dragon strike to
2938s	come in comparison and to allow some of
2940s	that damage to come through this is Babe
2942s	Frost last keeping things steady and
2944s	right now leaving that Shield up for
2945s	some of that coverage so overall an
2947s	ironic is just looking amazing again
2951s	continuously creating this push and so
2954s	far they have the space that you need to
2955s	make sure that cart goes where they want
2957s	it
2959s	process the one two right there the
2961s	projective area and the ravenous Vortex
2962s	says you you don't want to come up here
2964s	dude we're going to wall you off or I'm
2967s	gonna pop all the Transcendence comes
2969s	through a bit too late to save the DPS
2971s	the blizzard comes through from
2972s	Gardevoir and there's mine that might
2975s	just be this serious
2978s	I mean they're still fighting you can
2980s	see of course Batty's Kaiser Kaiser
2983s	tries to
2985s	push themselves in but unironic again
2988s	with another win coming into game two
2992s	and they have done what they needed to
2995s	do they came into this head high and
2997s	even though Frost less was good I gotta
2999s	give some you know respect to both Ross
3002s	last and reality reality was really
3005s	playing up so far I felt like the
3006s	haunted was looking uh honestly
3008s	refreshing
3009s	yeah I mean
3011s	you know reality was playing Hanzo like
3013s	it was Tracer you know just like
3016s	consistently stepping up being in like
3018s	kind of the funny spots getting so much
3020s	damage done but I mean that was enabled
3023s	by the rest of the team that whole team
3025s	all of an ironic was working so well
3027s	together and that was enabled by and
3031s	also enabled these amazing standout
3034s	performances from so many members of the
3036s	team so if I'm unironic I'm walking away
3039s	from that one very happy that was a very
3041s	clean series overall from them they
3043s	looked like they had a plan they looked
3045s	like they were able to communicate
3046s	effectively no matter what absolutely
3048s	like and that's that's something you
3050s	need right this is the first game this
3052s	is the like let's get our feet wet let's
3054s	figure out where we're at where the rest
3056s	of our competition is at and and I think
3059s	an ironic saw immediately what was going
3061s	on and went for it so Bravo to them
3064s	that's a great game
3066s	on ironic I mean they really show their
3069s	true colors today and looking at it you
3071s	got to be careful with a team like this
3073s	one because the way that they looked was
3075s	pretty Flawless and I really did like
3077s	the compositions I felt like the
3078s	rematcher felt fresh in their hands it
3080s	felt like this was something that they
3082s	have been really just testing out in the
3084s	servers and you know you see that two to
3087s	oh come through and you see that Victory
3089s	stance that they're holding it's it's
3091s	powerful
3092s	yeah I mean this is a statement when to
3094s	start right this is as good a beginning
3096s	to a tournament as you could probably
3098s	hope for this is a big name team you
3101s	know a bit of a bit of reshuffling
3103s	certainly done between now and the last
3105s	calling all heroes but still a team
3107s	that's part of an organization that has
3108s	that support that has that structure for
3110s	sure and you're coming in you know kind
3113s	of off of your own wits in whatever
3114s	structure your coaches can provide for
3116s	you and they clearly turn that into
3120s	something very special so I'm excited to
3122s	watch both of these teams I don't think
3124s	this is the end for alteora Summit
3126s	they're still a phenomenal team they're
3128s	still going to show up against some
3129s	other names in this tournament I can
3131s	only hope
3132s	but at the same time unironic now has
3134s	put notice out right yeah this is a
3137s	point to all the other teams and go hey
3140s	that you're next so I I love that for
3143s	them and I and I think both of these
3144s	teams are going to walk away uh with
3146s	some big lessons I think to look at for
3148s	the rest of this major
3150s	lessons as big as they go but you know I
3153s	kind of do want to get a little bit of a
3154s	lesson uh for one of the players on on
3158s	ironic and of course we get to see
3160s	Gardevoir which I'm excited for we're
3163s	gonna be able to ask some questions very
3165s	very shortly right after this break

3547s	what's up everybody welcome back of
3550s	course we just finished our game with
3552s	altior Summit versus unironic and an
3556s	ironic able to take that Victory spot uh
3559s	Fable we actually have the honor of
3562s	being able to talk to the one and only
3564s	Gardevoir
3566s	yeah yeah one of one of my two Pokemon
3568s	names that I called out at the start of
3570s	the show ah this is great hello hello
3573s	how's it going hi
3574s	how are you guys
3576s	I'm good you look you look uh amazing
3580s	thank you
3581s	for that
3584s	okay well I mean I I guess I'll start
3586s	off uh first of all thank you so much
3588s	for sitting here it's honestly uh pretty
3590s	cool I love how you have a shocker Queen
3592s	like like right behind you it's amazing
3594s	I need to get me one of those yeah
3596s	I absolutely have that as my background
3599s	for broadcast oh man yeah I I'll
3602s	probably match you uh sometime soon but
3604s	uh overall I guess you know the off
3607s	season I just wanted to ask how was that
3609s	you know how is how is that preparation
3611s	you know during the off season or or
3613s	more so how was the off-season for your
3615s	team
3615s	uh yeah like I think with most any teams
3618s	like we've had our ups and downs but
3619s	we've been putting in a lot of work uh
3621s	we've been trying out a lot of new
3623s	things we've had some players leave and
3625s	some new players come on and we're
3626s	really grateful for that uh and we're
3628s	all like a big family so it's a lot of
3630s	fun to play with uh everyone else on the
3632s	team uh Nyan sucks is probably one of
3635s	the best personalities uh we invest in
3638s	Nyon soxco so you know if we have our
3641s	stocks up
3643s	stocks are definitely high after that
3645s	one for all of you guys honestly it was
3647s	such a clean showing against you know we
3650s	talked a lot about alteora being this
3651s	big organization with multiple teams uh
3654s	and and you guys are certainly not
3655s	unknown but not as kind of maybe tied
3658s	into like some like big overarching
3661s	situation uh is this kind of the result
3664s	you guys expected like was your prep
3667s	kind of specifically tailored to like we
3669s	are going to take these guys down like
3671s	what was your sort of attitude walking
3673s	into the major for the first time
3675s	yeah uh we were really excited uh we had
3679s	the goal of winning obviously the entire
3681s	thing uh but shoot for the stars if you
3684s	hit the moon that's fine so if we get
3686s	top eight we're gonna be more than
3687s	satisfied so we're going into every
3689s	match regardless of who it is as though
3691s	we're gonna win and we're gonna come out
3692s	on top
3694s	well yeah the performance was impeccable
3698s	so it definitely shows uh you know I got
3700s	to see some of that rematcher come out I
3703s	really liked the may you know overall in
3706s	terms of your composition in terms of
3708s	what you're looking at uh you know
3710s	carrying forth what do you feel like you
3712s	know one of the biggest strengths for
3714s	your team is moving forward in this
3716s	tournament that uh if you're comfortable
3718s	answering that people really should look
3720s	out for
3721s	uh All I'm gonna say is watch out for
3725s	boops
3726s	okay yeah yeah
3729s	please uh tell Socks by the way if she
3732s	ajaxes she does owe me twenty dollars
3734s	okay the first freelancer contract that
3737s	has not expired that's still a thing
3739s	um looking looking at right you guys had
3742s	a great first game a great like
3744s	statement win coming out against this
3747s	this team
3748s	um there are plenty of other rosters on
3751s	the docket though are there any specific
3752s	like teams or players that you're
3754s	looking forward to playing against or
3757s	um I guess maybe even that you might
3759s	like fear or respect as being
3760s	particularly good you know anything to
3762s	that effect
3763s	uh yeah I mean definitely there's uh
3766s	teams like uh nyxl that everyone is
3769s	really hyping up Dart monkeys has a lot
3771s	of people who I've looked up to for a
3773s	long time uh but I'm really excited
3776s	actually to play against a team that has
3778s	some other people that I know uh
3780s	Paulette and whiz and their team they're
3783s	really really great and I think they're
3784s	also going to go very far so I'm excited
3786s	to play against them
3788s	excellent okay well I'm excited to see
3790s	how you guys fare against all those big
3792s	names we have so many in this major
3794s	which is going to make for some serious
3796s	bangers uh okay I'm closing out the
3799s	first interview of the major of the year

5110s	fibble uh I kind of want to take a look
5112s	at the standings and see where everybody
5115s	is looking
5119s	yeah I mean no surprises here as we look
5121s	towards our top 16 so far obviously a
5124s	lot of games going on at the moment we
5126s	actually just finished up round one we
5128s	are officially done with the first round
5130s	of the mini that will come
5133s	um
5133s	and we're currently like manually
5136s	reseeding making sure that all the
5138s	mashups are as even as possible for
5139s	round two because even matchups are a
5141s	good thing and we want them
5143s	um so this is just kind of a standings
5146s	of at least looking at 14 teams who won
5148s	their first match and two teams that
5150s	probably came pretty close and then the
5152s	rest of the teams who started off uh on
5154s	a bit of wrong foot but still have
5155s	plenty of space plenty of space to get
5157s	back into things
5159s	um obviously it's literally one game
5161s	right so it's not like this is a death
5163s	knell or like a a call that like the
5166s	teams that want are like the best teams
5167s	ever or whatever
5169s	um
5169s	so plenty of names across these 27 teams
5174s	so far we have some alteoras actually
5176s	dropping their first series or Morris
5180s	Goji gang over there one of the teams
5182s	that I was looking at going through all
5183s	the team sheets uh Toki Pilots losing uh
5187s	their first game I believe to whisp
5189s	luminaria
5191s	um we got bones over there there's funny
5194s	internal stories in our Discord about
5196s	team bones that I won't go into now lava
5199s	lilies is a name that I recognize I hope
5201s	that they are doing okay despite the 01
5204s	start for them nixel Academy I mean
5208s	that's where we want to see them right
5210s	up at the top I I hope that 1-0 was
5212s	relatively clean uh because you should
5215s	be showing up pretty strong as an
5218s	OverWatch League Academy team
5220s	um on ironic we just saw bumblebees
5223s	taking their first series here averted
5225s	as well that one was on my team Sheet a
5227s	little little check Dart monkey
5230s	ethereal a lot of teams from Vancouver
5234s	Titans blue actually a lot of teams from
5236s	last year's qualifiers that I grew
5238s	familiar with starting off on a a good
5241s	stretch here so
5244s	you know this is our earliest indicators
5246s	really of where teams are at like I said
5249s	there's so many more games for them to
5250s	go right now but we're getting that
5253s	early view we're just kind of vamping
5255s	we're going to see if we figure out the
5256s	seating we get our second match kind of
5258s	ready uh but for now we're just we're
5260s	just kind of here chatting with you uh
5262s	we figured you know we we could start a
5265s	bunch of timers and then just kind of
5266s	reset them every few minutes to to make
5268s	you all scream but we could also just
5270s	sit and have a chat so hi I hope you're
5272s	having fun yeah I I like chatting I feel
5276s	like we haven't really gotten to uh you
5278s	know get deep into the the chill parts
5280s	of what the heroes major can be uh but
5284s	you know obviously we got to take a look
5285s	at the standings and where these uh
5287s	teams are looking again you you kind of
5289s	set it as well as I could have
5291s	um as well as anybody could have it's
5293s	it's just the first game so you know the
5296s	first series nothing too much about it a
5298s	lot of the time it gets harder and
5300s	harder as you go so you know those
5302s	numbers definitely going to start to
5303s	switch up even though you know all to
5305s	your summit they might have lost that
5307s	first game we might just be able to see
5309s	something different come through maybe
5310s	that one to one you know maybe a two to
5313s	one eventually when we go to that third
5315s	series and whatnot but
5317s	um you know just looking at it I yeah I
5320s	mean so far we are trying to get an
5321s	update for you to see and and more so
5323s	what team we're going to be seeing next
5326s	but at the same time I I don't want to
5328s	keep you guys here too long I know we
5330s	love chatting but make sure you go grab
5332s	a snack yeah I'm not I'm not sure it's
5334s	going to be a long time but at the same
5336s	time make sure you're well fed for the
5338s	next game because we'll see you guys
5339s	right after this very very quick break

5958s	the wait was long but well awaited thank
5961s	you guys again so much for uh you know
5963s	being patient with us and allowing us
5964s	the process to find the next match up
5966s	but we have it we are here Sybil I'm
5970s	pretty excited I'll let you do the
5971s	honors of you know who we might just be
5974s	seeing today
5975s	yep just like Chad has been calling it's
5977s	TBD versus TBD no we figured it out we
5980s	we got it sorted now it's going to be
5982s	Vancouver Titans blue taking on
5986s	shikika being a little change a little
5988s	change up in the name it's topical I get
5991s	it uh two big teams here two really big
5994s	names that I'm very excited to see duke
5996s	it out so early in the major right give
5999s	us a shot of what these like upper level
6002s	matches are going to look like this
6003s	could be a playoff preview if these
6006s	teams play their cards right yeah and
6008s	both of them are formed out of such
6010s	amazing cores which we can get to in
6012s	this
6016s	going back to the amazing cores and and
6019s	whatnot and who are on these teams of
6021s	course listen we'll get into the rosters
6023s	as well uh four Titans blue starting off
6026s	I guess we'll start this way because I
6028s	always start that way but
6038s	also going on with you know that that
6040s	chemistry that might we might be able to
6042s	see in terms of you know both of these
6044s	teams obviously are looking really
6045s	really good in terms of just overall
6048s	skill grouping right and skill leveling
6050s	so again I do feel like we are going to
6052s	see something extremely interesting and
6053s	there is some history behind it as well
6055s	thibble absolutely yeah I mean so
6058s	looking over at Vancouver Titans blue uh
6060s	it was a team that was formed one of the
6062s	first teams really to be formed as like
6064s	an official calling all heroes like
6066s	offshoot of an OverWatch League team
6069s	right there were a couple that kind of
6070s	made their Mark in the the first kind of
6073s	major events uh of last year for calling
6075s	all heroes uh and this team was one of
6077s	them though it has undergone some
6078s	changes actually uh a good chunk about
6082s	half of this roster is actually the core
6084s	of Washington Justice Red who are no
6086s	longer with us you know
6089s	um but I I like that they stuck together
6091s	and that they found a new home where
6093s	they can kind of iterate uh and and
6095s	maintain that kind of support the
6097s	support that you can really only get
6098s	from having the backing of an
6101s	overwatchling team on the other side
6103s	you've got shikikami uh who have been a
6105s	team like full of big names that have
6108s	consistently been showing up and putting
6110s	on those like high-level performances
6111s	that we expect
6113s	um
6114s	but I feel like they could be doing more
6116s	they could be reaching even higher and
6119s	maybe this is kind of the the moment for
6121s	them right they they need this to be uh
6123s	the tournament where they really come
6125s	out swinging everyone wants a strong
6126s	start here so for shikikami I mean you
6129s	have so many amazing players uh and
6131s	talents on here that are so hungry you
6135s	know I I think so many players and teams
6138s	here are really looking like having that
6140s	ambition of like I'm gonna prove myself
6143s	I'm gonna show myself in this new system
6144s	this opportunity that I've maybe never
6147s	gotten before to play at a level of
6149s	structured play this high and shikikami
6152s	is definitely one of those teams that
6153s	really jumps out at me is having that
6155s	sort of Spirit uh we uh and we also have
6158s	some amazing names we got like Megatron
6160s	and uh we have Azu as well who is like a
6163s	prominent like designer in the OverWatch
6165s	Community you know she's been around for
6167s	a long time and has done amazing work
6169s	and I love the that she has the
6171s	opportunity to also like play the game
6174s	that we spend so much time working on as
6176s	creatives
6178s	yeah and you know again obviously going
6181s	into that history it is it's ranging so
6183s	wide it's just a bunch of number one
6185s	OverWatch lovers and people who have
6188s	contributed to the community as well and
6190s	I think that in itself is super cool and
6193s	also uh interesting because I I mean
6196s	there are listen looking at their their
6199s	rankings and like where where they're
6200s	placed is kind of crazy to me those
6203s	numbers seem like unrealistic right
6205s	ranking like 126 right 72 like that to
6209s	me uh it feels pretty impeccable but I I
6212s	think overall right looking at the
6215s	rosters we're going to shikikami
6217s	obviously but again right you talk about
6221s	that history and you talk about these
6222s	players uh the biggest thing for me is
6224s	man Dara as a DPS you're looking good on
6228s	the Winston so for a peek behind the
6231s	curtain these Graphics the players
6233s	choose what Heroes show up on them they
6235s	send us a little sheet and we go which
6237s	hero do you want to show up when we do
6239s	the roster graphic and I guess we just
6241s	have a stray Winston uh you know
6244s	dropping in uh so Dara will actually be
6247s	playing the DPS as far as I'm aware I
6249s	believe that section of the graphic is
6251s	correct just felt like being a little
6252s	silly which we love you've got Megatron
6254s	uh just the juxtaposition of Megatron
6258s	she her with a picture of kiriko above
6260s	it is that's that's chef's kiss right
6263s	there uh we have zombie again these
6266s	photos are these heroes are not
6268s	indicative perhaps of what they're going
6269s	to play but I would be excited to see a
6271s	little pharah maybe kind of like an
6272s	aerialist Flex specialist that we often
6276s	see in like emea you know teams like o1
6278s	Esports and twisted Minds like that is a
6280s	strategy that can get some major mileage
6282s	so we'll see if she could come and try
6284s	to pull that out uh maybe on some early
6285s	Maps but on the other side we got
6287s	Vancouver Titans blue here uh we have
6290s	names that I need to look at
6291s	pronunciations of real quick
6293s	z uh here on the tank we have Angel and
6296s	Claire we have phone um
6308s	actually the the three here to the left
6310s	what phone and HTT here are from that
6313s	Washington Justice Red core so they have
6316s	a lot of synergy together they have
6318s	played uh at least in a couple other
6320s	like major tournament events here in
6323s	calling all heroes already so I'm hoping
6325s	that they're like gonna really bring
6326s	that experience of coordination to Bear
6328s	uh because shikikami are not going to
6331s	make it easy for them
6332s	no they absolutely are not and I feel
6334s	like Vancouver Titans they're definitely
6336s	gonna fight that back
6337s	um you know in terms of
6339s	what they could bring to the table as
6341s	well but obviously for both of these
6344s	teams we talked about it we do think
6346s	this is probably going to be one of the
6347s	most interesting matchups we've seen so
6349s	far and and this early on too within the
6352s	major I mean this is only the first day
6354s	after the off season you're getting some
6356s	of these really nice matchups to come
6358s	through which is surprising at the very
6361s	most because a lot of the time you do
6362s	see you know those cores uh the most I
6365s	guess quote unquote Infamous rosters
6367s	versus the people who are really trying
6369s	to build that image for themselves and
6370s	get that same name that those rosters
6372s	have as well so it is it is interesting
6374s	and it's great to be able to see a bit
6376s	more of that background come into play
6378s	but the thing I'm interested in the most
6380s	is you know what exactly are those Maps
6383s	looking like and where are we heading I
6386s	like to take a trip I'm feeling like
6388s	going over to lijong Tower
6392s	that threw me off for just a second yeah
6394s	me too I saw ilios and I was like oh
6396s	Elios again and then
6398s	yeah yeah I'm super down I'm I'm down
6401s	for either I think the vast majority of
6404s	the control maps are always gonna be
6406s	bangers I haven't played Antarctic
6408s	Peninsula enough to really like form an
6410s	opinion on it yet yeah but the rest of
6412s	the maps we know and love they've been
6414s	around for a while at this point uh and
6417s	Legion is a great like litmus test early
6420s	on for teams right there's different the
6423s	different like sub maps that you can
6426s	look at like control center here
6428s	especially
6429s	um are places where like Fringe
6431s	compositions can really Thrive this is
6434s	where like in the dive days you would
6436s	see like a Reinhardt and a junkrat
6438s	suddenly pop up and you're like what is
6439s	that doing here
6440s	um so I'm excited to see like are these
6443s	teams going to default to certain
6444s	Comfort picks that we're maybe going to
6446s	see a lot more from uh over the course
6449s	of their their tournament runs are they
6450s	going to try and like get a little crazy
6453s	with it you throw off their opponents
6455s	early you know kind of like we were
6457s	talking about with unironic like
6459s	you're either going to kind of play like
6461s	a set style that you've really been
6463s	trying to nail down
6464s	and or go for like a crazy aggressive
6467s	like throw off the game sort of vibe uh
6470s	so I'm excited to see like both of these
6471s	teams are immensely talented
6473s	mechanically savvy like they have like
6476s	the support and the structure and the
6478s	Synergy together that really pull out
6480s	whatever the heck they want so like when
6483s	you have two teams just bringing their
6485s	absolute best as well as they can
6487s	against one another that's when you get
6488s	something special so I'm excited
6492s	I'm excited too listen lision Tower
6496s	again interested to see what we're going
6500s	to be pulling out kind of quite like
6501s	what you said especially
6504s	um you know I feel like it's always nice
6505s	to start off with control first thing
6507s	because it really does give you
6509s	kind of a pattern moving forward to who
6513s	really does know how to play
6515s	with their tank and and really assist
6519s	with not only those clears that we
6521s	typically see a lot of the time
6524s	um I mean moving towards sites or even
6541s	quickly want to at least try to avoid
6544s	really putting a lot of that um you know
6547s	I guess I guess force into you want to
6550s	try to hack those players behind
6552s	you know out in the extremities and give
6554s	yourself a bit more room but of course
6556s	we're coming into the selection here
6560s	selection if we may and this is more so
6562s	what I want to see who are we picking
6565s	what are we doing what are we going into
6566s	you said we might see some of those
6568s	Comfort picks come through and that's
6570s	quite possibly something that we could
6571s	see uh but I'm hoping to see something a
6574s	bit technical here and I feel like
6576s	that's what we're getting a bit out of
6577s	shikikami
6579s	okay I love this you know we talk about
6581s	like are they going to pull their
6582s	comfort picks are they going to pull
6583s	what's meta we don't know what those are
6585s	yet which is so exciting we don't we
6588s	haven't seen these teams play multiple
6589s	games we haven't even seen them really
6591s	play multiple Maps they haven't been
6592s	streamed I believe uh so it's it's
6594s	really like establish a baseline for
6597s	these two high-level teams what are they
6599s	each running that is similar and what
6601s	are they each running that is different
6602s	from one another right so we see the
6605s	same tank the same backlines here coming
6607s	out two different support lines the
6609s	Hanzo May for shikakami which we saw in
6611s	our last match to great effect and then
6613s	the junkrat Cassidy over on the side of
6615s	Vancouver packets blue as we get started
6617s	just trying to establish themselves here
6619s	in the server room first fight of the
6621s	match
6624s	yeah Cassidy
6627s	already looking for a lot here and it
6630s	seems like yeah I mean overall just
6632s	trying to play together
6634s	um losing possibly Lucy got on the
6636s	subjective I mean the point now opened
6638s	up because of what
6641s	unfortunately what goes down so again
6643s	leaving some of that room to try to
6645s	fight a bit more but the cohesion here
6647s	from Blue you see it right like
6649s	ramatra coming down
6652s	and creating that exposure
6655s	yeah I mean and ultimately like you
6657s	would think like Dara got that early
6659s	pick but good on Titan's blue here did
6661s	you back up don't overextend just kind
6663s	of wait
6665s	to get that respawn back quickly as
6667s	literally the same thing happens again
6669s	good to know my Caster curse is still
6670s	working now she can call me like you've
6672s	had this opportunity in your first fight
6674s	you need to make something happen with
6675s	it on the second for sure
6677s	Vancouver Titans blue
6680s	making their way on to the point this
6682s	time around at least creating some of
6684s	that but it seems like the steel trap
6686s	makes its way and Sarah is no longer I
6689s	mean that's huge they miss out on one of
6690s	their DPS at this point the Hanzo
6692s	creating majority of that damage input
6694s	you got shikakami making their way back
6697s	and of course it's looking good
6701s	yeah I mean just that's funny well like
6704s	that's just comedy folks that's the only
6706s	that's the kind of thing you only get in
6708s	OverWatch you go on this like super
6710s	hardcore flank you have a plan you've
6712s	already had a great start to your round
6713s	and there's a trap there uh we've all
6716s	been there folks don't feel bad uh
6717s	ultimates coming online now as we get
6719s	into like our first maybe we can test
6721s	which you can comment and control the
6723s	window comes out immediately just kind
6724s	of force them to cover tightens blue
6726s	back I'm happy to kind of take this race
6728s	back and actually counter with a dragon
6730s	strike in the top immediately Dara had
6733s	the number on that one counterfeit his
6735s	own Drive distracted yeah the dragon
6737s	strike coming back around they were
6739s	giving them the space
6741s	Immaculate what is going on
6744s	they're just destroying left and right
6746s	you see the assistants come through Dara
6748s	is an absolute killer on the scene and
6753s	again creating that exposure creating
6755s	some of that spaceship could call me now
6756s	moving up towards that spawn side and
6758s	trying to push these players back even
6760s	more to seek out something big right now
6762s	the wall waiting for Rich it could call
6764s	me having to move back just a bit but
6766s	Savvy is there
6768s	so back and forth
6770s	and forward coming comfortably stepping
6771s	up and my curse is still working fine
6773s	what gets the kill onto zombie here and
6775s	the speed boost immediately comes
6776s	through the duels immediately come out
6778s	not so honorable 1b1 per se uh but
6781s	they're still getting it done and it
6782s	looks like this might be a quick recap
6784s	foreign
6787s	now what so far trying to at least you
6790s	know have their Redemption Arc against
6792s	era and it seems like that's exactly
6794s	what they've done listen I'm really
6796s	liking the Hanzo and Hanzo Smackdown
6798s	that we're seeing Hanzo Doodles are
6800s	always such a treat right like you're
6801s	either gonna like these amazing like
6803s	geometry defying headshots and stuff or
6806s	you just sit there and kind of stray fit
6808s	each other or miss all your shots or
6810s	maybe that's just me you know I am black
6812s	yeah it's me too it's okay I feel it I
6815s	feel it feels online now for shikikami
6817s	as they look to recontest here the
6819s	annihilation is coming out on both sides
6821s	of that Blizzard from zombie let's see
6822s	what it can do oh nice the dragon strike
6824s	coming through so at least honestly just
6827s	back off just a bit but we're seeing a
6829s	lot of action come down right the
6831s	romantra versus romantra right now as it
6834s	is the tank just consistently getting
6836s	heels off but it seems like she could
6837s	call me losing the fight slowly but
6839s	surely phone nice shots down onto the
6842s	point and they clear this very very
6844s	nicely I mean you could already see that
6846s	fight was the biggest one yet because
6847s	now they can push themselves up towards
6849s	that 90 and honestly probably win this
6852s	out yep mathematically 87 means last
6855s	fight territory we have crossed that
6856s	threshold a lot of ultimates used on
6858s	both sides but this sneaky blizzard
6860s	coming through might be the thing that
6861s	decides that the lamp does manage to
6863s	come out but it's not going to stop this
6866s	I mean that was good the dragon strike
6868s	maybe just a bit too late but angel now
6870s	playing on the Lucio trying to again
6872s	push these players off I am in Vancouver
6875s	blue Vancouver Titans blue objective
6879s	secure they managed to bring themselves
6881s	down towards that first map at least
6884s	yeah a first round win but then moving
6887s	forward we're still sticking to this I
6889s	mean there still is a Redemption Arc and
6891s	it felt like it was close so again there
6893s	is that possibility it definitely was I
6895s	mean that was still very back and forth
6896s	right like there were multiple
6898s	recontesting fights a lot of that was
6900s	decided by like one or two ultimates or
6902s	like one sneaky play that a little like
6904s	hide around the corner and Blizzard
6905s	after they walk through the door classic
6907s	chef's kiss we love it
6909s	I may be calling it here I like the fair
6912s	Mercy uh I believe we are on Night
6914s	Market this is kind of a nightmaker and
6917s	Gardens really are both good spots for
6919s	uh Affair of Mercy sort of composition
6921s	you also see Azu on the diva uh one of
6923s	their sort of like favorites uh overall
6926s	in the Tank Hero pool and a quick out
6929s	here and immediately taking some flat
6930s	shots Downs I'll be doing 20 and I'm oh
6933s	and we're seeing some early swaps here I
6935s	like this oh I think you see that come
6937s	out and you go okay we can do that too
6939s	phone immediately swapping over we have
6941s	a wrecking ball swap we have an on a
6943s	swap this is an entirely different
6944s	stylistic look that we've seen all day
6947s	I'm very interested to see what they do
6948s	with it yeah I actually really like this
6950s	too because it shows that Vancouver
6952s	Titans blue not only are they willing to
6955s	make that switch but they're also very
6956s	very adaptable you see the echo coming
6958s	up overhead trying to take out zombie
6960s	and I mean Vancouver Titans blue they
6962s	always win out these fights the DPS
6964s	consistently creating that damage
6966s	already coming down on and again trying
6969s	to push for something I mean phone has
6971s	been there since the very start
6972s	consistently assisting and they're going
6974s	to continue to do so
6976s	the phone trying to make it in touch as
6979s	best you can zombie though switching
6981s	over to the Sombra actually I like that
6983s	answer against an echo you're not really
6985s	too worried about the air-to-air duel
6987s	I'm like losing out on that is not a big
6989s	deal
6990s	the diva now getting staggered oh no
6992s	made the swap off of the wrecking ball
6994s	makes total sense uh but it's going to
6996s	get staggered out that's the that's the
6998s	price you pay Angel swapping over to the
7000s	brig mouth Vancouver tise blue you know
7003s	I oh as we get a new Applause I love the
7006s	flexibility I love the willingness to
7008s	switch it up uh we are oh we're just
7011s	doing a little fly over here
7013s	um but also you have to be careful with
7015s	that right because every time you switch
7017s	it's it's better in OverWatch 2 than it
7019s	was in OverWatch one because there's
7020s	some New Balance changes you are going
7022s	to be keeping I believe 25 of your alt
7024s	when you switch but that's still a
7026s	pretty hefty reset potentially to your
7028s	old economy that you need to consider so
7030s	you really shouldn't you know like
7032s	swapping every fight like if you have
7034s	like a set saying that you really want
7035s	to try that you're confident in that's
7037s	fine
7038s	don't swap out of panic though you know
7042s	not to imply that's what they're doing
7043s	but like you have to be very careful in
7045s	those sorts of thought processes because
7047s	it can get away from you like ultimates
7049s	are very important to these fights and
7051s	if you're switching it up all the time
7053s	you're not getting that very crucial
7055s	Advantage meanwhile shigekoni I mean
7058s	look at their olds they have three
7059s	coming online and two now far behind
7063s	yeah and I'll be actually making the
7064s	switch off to go to that Sombra which is
7066s	going to be big especially here the
7069s	shots are aligning very very nicely
7071s	trying to at least hack into the main
7073s	frame see if they can try to do
7074s	something to at least limit the
7076s	potential here for their abilities right
7078s	there she could call me down towards
7079s	that back line and this is what we like
7081s	to see coming through from the Sombra
7084s	already moving themselves back backwards
7086s	and then restarting
7088s	yeah I mean clean stuff here coming
7090s	through from zombie and from chicken
7092s	coming in general although I may be
7094s	cursing them at stagey stepping forward
7096s	on the junker Queen now we're just
7097s	playing mystery Heroes which I love that
7099s	Nano comes through and it is clean up
7102s	Vancouver Titan blue get on the point
7103s	get this kiriko out of here and start
7105s	getting some percentage back because
7106s	you're 68 down
7109s	honestly 68 I called him
7112s	you're very accurate when we say we're
7114s	playing this Heroes because the amount
7115s	of times we still Vancouver uh Titans
7118s	blue switch things up has been
7120s	consistent but I really again kind of
7123s	moving back towards that Savvy pick I'm
7124s	really digging it I feel like Sarah
7126s	Sarah and zabby both working together to
7129s	be uh kind of these uh these little tiny
7132s	backline hackers and seeing what they
7134s	can do right now though what trying to
7136s	get some of that Redemption down towards
7139s	the back line again and and you know you
7141s	get to see something big you got that
7143s	pulse bomb ready for action here and
7145s	what has a lot of potential to hit this
7146s	but they're still waiting for the
7148s	perfect moment which I admire yeah and
7150s	he seems he got a pick there in kind of
7152s	the neutral mid fight so you don't need
7154s	to be committing ultimates to this or
7155s	already buying time they're Crossing 40
7157s	and you see what just plain bouncer here
7160s	as she can come you look to kind of make
7161s	this long flank right like the Tracer
7163s	alone is enough where she could come to
7165s	be like okay we're not going that way
7167s	and you're literally gonna lose your
7168s	Lucio and Aurora use the sound barrier
7171s	there so that goes down a huge loss
7173s	there for shikikami and just a simple
7176s	easy cut and dry smooth as you like
7178s	Fight Win for Vancouver type look
7182s	I mean if anybody can do it it is going
7184s	to be Vancouver Titans blue but
7186s	shikakami again we saw that they had
7188s	something close come into contact and
7190s	right now they're not too far off right
7191s	68 left or map point they can still
7194s	create that control what's gonna be a
7197s	big problem though you can see at least
7199s	right now Winston's starting to move
7200s	themselves up here as you get caught in
7202s	the middle and a lot of things going on
7204s	the pulse bomb comes through that's
7206s	exactly what we were waiting for and
7208s	exactly what we needed here for the side
7211s	of
7212s	how many Vancouver Titans blue they're
7213s	just gonna keep this
7215s	so so patient and calculated in this
7218s	play right you're pushing up but you're
7220s	never over extending it's very clear
7222s	that this team is really talking it out
7224s	zombie going on a sneaky front just
7227s	needs to touch just needs to build that
7229s	gear just enough time to get that
7231s	ultimate out might be the thing that
7232s	helps them turn it but they need to be
7234s	perfect and Angel does go down early
7236s	this is a good start
7239s	now good start though missing out
7243s	right now on the lot for Vancouver
7244s	Titans blue they can try to win itself
7246s	but it seems like the damage is a bit
7247s	too much even with zombie right now I
7250s	mean really just trying to shoot things
7251s	down all right you gotta try to find a
7254s	way to create
7256s	some at least some remedy and it feels
7259s	like Vancouver Titans blue getting a bit
7260s	too caught up they didn't try to get
7262s	that I mean Redemption just backing off
7264s	waiting for the teammates but right now
7265s	again they have some time
7267s	yeah you you have a tiny bit of time
7269s	though you still need to touch here
7271s	don't see nine don't be the first C9 of
7273s	the tournament no one wants to do that
7274s	the EMP goes in early volsman goes out
7276s	and odds are getting that first attack
7277s	on the player oh as you yeah moving in
7280s	this is big with the Winston coming out
7283s	awesome make sure that everybody's
7284s	slowly getting booped away and it
7287s	happens also creating that clear
7289s	creating the space but then again it's
7292s	phone being there for Vancouver Titans
7295s	blue and right now this is the moment
7297s	they took it to that overtime and they
7300s	finished it off that first map going
7304s	over to Vancouver Titans blue
7307s	that was
7309s	leaning very one way until it suddenly
7312s	was not leaning that way yes all which
7315s	is so much fun that almost gave me
7317s	Whiplash because that whole fight right
7319s	in that last fight Azu gets that early
7321s	pick the back line is Swiss cheese at
7324s	that point it's like how there's no way
7326s	what is happening here like this is so
7329s	clearly tricky comedy they're bringing
7330s	it around and then just that's pure
7333s	clutch Factor right yeah right that is
7335s	Titan's blue going nah man like we have
7339s	old still right like in its last fight
7341s	you might as well use what we got oh oh
7344s	that worked cool awesome great so I mean
7348s	good for them to just straight up just
7349s	like dig their heels like have that grit
7352s	to get through that first map that's the
7354s	kind of stuff you need right we're
7356s	talking about this being a close game
7357s	these are two high Heavy Hitters like
7361s	you need to just have that little tiny
7363s	Edge because that's what gets you over
7364s	the hunt you two are otherwise evenly
7366s	matched you just need that that little
7368s	little spice
7370s	yeah it was the Primal Rage at the end
7373s	as well that really just kind of
7374s	solidified that so it it really was the
7376s	timing of feeling for Vancouver Titans
7378s	blue where they just consistently were
7380s	there with it and again like we talk
7381s	about those adaptations and I think that
7383s	I Gotta Give it to shikakami for you
7386s	know getting that somber pick off I felt
7388s	like they've really had it down but
7391s	again the back line you know that again
7393s	you know Vancouver Titans blue is one of
7395s	those adaptable teams you know that they
7397s	are making those changes as quickly as
7399s	they need to so you know doing a little
7401s	backline switch up and paying a bit more
7403s	attention isn't something that really
7404s	was unfamiliar to them but again
7406s	shikakami you know we talk about
7408s	potential it really was just the
7409s	close-off that they struggled with but I
7410s	feel like with the new map with a new
7412s	comfort that that might actually be
7414s	something that can help them in the long
7415s	run
7416s	yeah yeah I mean far from over right
7418s	this was so close like literally like
7420s	not even a whole fight made the
7422s	difference there it was like two or
7424s	three picks at the back end of the last
7427s	fight that made the difference there so
7430s	very excited to see our second map
7432s	shikikami are by no means out of it like
7434s	I want this to go to a third map so bad
7437s	because I want both of these teams to
7439s	just push themselves to the Limit get it
7442s	in your system early that you need to be
7445s	fighting as hard as possible not that
7447s	they don't already feel that way but
7449s	like nothing gets you in that mode more
7451s	than being challenged by a team who is
7453s	so clearly your equal so getting into
7456s	King's Row cheeky Commons Mac pick no
7459s	surprise statistically
7461s	it's always going to be King's route
7462s	folks we love it here
7464s	and another opportunity I think there's
7467s	some flexibility there right like we are
7470s	far from crystallizing on a meta for
7473s	this tournament it's literally been like
7475s	a couple hours you know like we're we're
7478s	in the kitchen right now so I want to
7480s	see like
7481s	is ramatra going to be kind of the
7483s	staple here are we going to see more of
7485s	that like Winston from Azu like
7487s	what the heck were Titans blue even
7490s	doing right like swapping up their
7491s	composition so much in King's Row with
7494s	all its different like phases you've got
7496s	your first point you've got your streets
7497s	you've got your last
7498s	each of those sections of the map has an
7501s	opportunity or like you could make a
7503s	case for a variety of different comps so
7507s	a team like that who clearly is not
7509s	unwilling to kind of switch it up when
7511s	they feel need you could start to kind
7514s	of like gain that strategic Advantage
7516s	like I said earlier you can kind of
7518s	overplay your hand in that direction too
7520s	and kind of have like no clear consensus
7523s	and no old economy which is pretty
7526s	important so be careful with that one
7529s	but at the same time if that's your
7530s	strength go for it dude like live your
7533s	best life there
7537s	here
7539s	on a map that's so predominant they will
7543s	be living their best lives at least for
7546s	both teams but moving into it we talk
7549s	about Comfort we talk about you know
7552s	those adaptations with
7554s	Vancouver Titans blue I feel like you
7556s	never know what they're gonna pick
7557s	because they could turn around two
7559s	seconds later and then come out with a
7561s	completely new composition but that's
7562s	what we love coming out of them she
7563s	could call me though we're seeing the
7566s	may but what I really am interested in
7568s	is what pulling out the Widowmaker
7571s	yeah we always see that a little early
7573s	there's you never know when someone's
7575s	just going to be standing out in an open
7577s	field ready to get head shot so you look
7579s	you see if you can find the early pick
7581s	or even just get a little information as
7583s	to where the enemy team is holding maybe
7586s	you stick with that we have seen that in
7588s	a couple games I believe in the program
7590s	where the Widow was kind of like an
7591s	actual thing more than likely it's a
7594s	quick early swap I would assume like a
7596s	Hanzo or something like that phone again
7599s	looking at the pharah could be kind of
7602s	the same thing you know send a couple
7603s	rockets downrange and go or see what
7605s	they're running and then determine if
7607s	you switch or you just swap to the May
7609s	right away oh okay
7613s	you know I feel like the name I feel
7616s	like the name I feel like what like what
7617s	was that already off the rip you've seen
7620s	something come out of what now switching
7622s	over to that console that first pick was
7623s	all they needed I mean just to feel this
7626s	confidence coming up you're looking at
7628s	Vancouver Titans blue working their way
7630s	in the Ultra make in that space and
7633s	creating it what is Unstoppable
7638s	will rule the Decepticons
7641s	um man yeah that early pickle I'm I'm
7643s	still reeling from that Dara answering
7645s	back though does get from maybe you look
7648s	at a little recontest but I don't really
7649s	think so here I I think if you're
7652s	shikitami you just respect what just
7655s	happened to you but no I tell a lie
7656s	they're jumping right back in they're
7658s	taking heavy damage on the way into that
7659s	lamp does something but not too much
7663s	yeah but a lot going on as well I mean
7666s	you're looking at the abilities you're
7667s	looking at that push back seeing the
7669s	shield come up but it doesn't matter you
7671s	see what still I mean even right now
7673s	trying to make sure that they have some
7676s	space for the payload to continue and
7678s	that's exactly what they're gonna get
7679s	especially with Force
7682s	right 5 15. so even with that tiny
7685s	little Recon test there so fast still
7688s	off of that initial pick from what
7689s	prevent Cooper type it's blue you're
7692s	just making so much Headway here she
7694s	could call me forced to like respect the
7696s	sight lines what's on a tear right like
7698s	you don't want to mess with a sniper
7699s	who's hitting their shots that day so
7701s	you really have to play smart establish
7704s	yourselves in a good position where that
7705s	can you can kind of minimize that threat
7707s	as best you can but also like you don't
7709s	want to give too much pressure free
7710s	that's why we're moving up into this
7711s	corner here and immediately popping that
7713s	window trying to force that side
7715s	not the biggest worry right now though
7717s	the dragon strike actually moving itself
7719s	towards that fielding and it did create
7721s	a divider for some time but Megatron
7722s	shielded away from the heels can't even
7725s	really create some of that assistance
7727s	and that was big right you're looking at
7729s	what's going on right now shikakami and
7731s	now moving up based off of that already
7733s	my apologies Vancouver Titans blue
7737s	I mean right now really
7739s	just push it in
7741s	this composition I mean so we see a
7744s	mirror now on both sides right
7745s	everyone's kind of settled into maybe
7747s	this is like the meta right that we were
7749s	talking about still far too early to
7751s	kind of make that call but like clearly
7752s	both teams see an advantage to this
7754s	composition and I think the big thing
7756s	that jumps out for me is how much zoning
7758s	potential it has you've got your May
7760s	wall you've got blizzard you have
7762s	vermontra's barrier you have bramatra
7764s	and then you've got a hanza who's just
7766s	gonna walk up and like stick an arrow
7768s	directly in your mouth I guess that's
7769s	impossible Megatron also getting his
7772s	licks in Angel going down early and she
7774s	can call me for the first time this
7776s	round have a chance to re-establish a
7778s	foothold for themselves yeah really big
7780s	chance look at zombie right now try to
7782s	close them in unfortunately does it work
7784s	out that way but she could call me right
7785s	now uh you know we talk about how close
7789s	the game was before and it feels like
7790s	we're really seeing that potential here
7791s	maybe it was the map maybe it was that
7793s	discomfort of you know just Vancouver
7796s	Titans blue consistently trying to
7797s	create those adaptations hitting those
7799s	back lines but there is no backline to
7801s	hit they've been so strong so far for
7803s	shikakami yeah you finally re-establish
7805s	yourself right you're so off kilter from
7808s	literally getting picked in the first
7809s	second of the game Blizzard's now coming
7812s	out on both sides here Megatron with the
7814s	window just raining whatever she can
7817s	down onto the rest of the team a clean
7819s	fight here but a little expensive right
7822s	you use your blizzard and your window
7824s	not too close to too much else Vancouver
7827s	Titans blue though you use a blizzard
7829s	yourself so you don't get too much but
7831s	you've got a dragon strike you have a
7832s	sound barrier and then your back window
7835s	and your Annihilation from romantra are
7836s	not far behind so flying Vancouver
7838s	Titans blue I'm pretty happy with that
7840s	there's a quick fight you pull some
7842s	ultimates you come back stronger and
7844s	maybe this is where they finally Crack
7846s	the Case
7848s	there's a cracking down on this with the
7851s	dragon strike there it comes again and
7853s	it feels like we're seeing every other
7854s	second like where they loading this up
7856s	from like they just got the Chargers
7859s	left on the side and they're they're
7861s	chilling with it but it seems like you
7862s	know with Vancouver Titans blue again
7864s	pushing us through that Dragon strike
7866s	really did a number
7869s	so much like we don't normally refer to
7871s	a Hanzo as front loaded damage yeah but
7874s	when you're hitting your shot so
7876s	consistently like you're creating all
7878s	these openings like look it's not always
7880s	Gonzo getting the final blow but Hanzo
7882s	has always been involved in the
7884s	elimination which means like every shot
7887s	is hitting somebody that's why these
7890s	Dragon strikes are coming in so fast
7891s	that's why these picks are coming
7893s	through so consistently for Vancouver
7894s	Titan blue when what has the opportunity
7898s	the positive Caster curse is working
7900s	today as well that's great we love to
7902s	see it oh and the sound barrier coming
7905s	out I was actually going to talk about
7906s	this a bit shortly but Angel honestly
7909s	could be exactly what her name means an
7911s	angel to the team coming up creating a
7914s	bit more health and exposure so they can
7917s	push themselves in feeling confident we
7919s	can put Ozzy is going to shut that down
7920s	real quick no confidence for you but
7922s	push back what's gonna happen here the
7925s	Wall comes up but it's not enough us
7927s	you're still pushing themselves in does
7929s	not matter what's going on I mean the
7931s	tension Rises but it's becoming too
7934s	thick
7935s	as you're just trying to avoid a crash
7937s	here it's like Photoshop man you never
7940s	know you really gotta fight for it great
7942s	hold there so much grit coming through
7944s	as Derek leans up and what gets the
7946s	trade you got to be a little careful
7948s	here if your shikakami yeah you want to
7949s	establish yourself you want to take some
7951s	space if you lose one pixel out of line
7953s	man you're gonna get taken out and you
7956s	see those Arabs whizzing by the camera
7958s	here Dara just trying to build that
7960s	ultimate trying to match what's Pace she
7963s	knows they know that what has just been
7966s	building those ultimates on cooldown
7968s	every fight you got two minutes in the
7970s	bank here you need to make this work for
7972s	cheeky common you had such a great start
7973s	you need to re-establish and make sure
7976s	that you stick and the Cooper type
7978s	include really trying to put a stop into
7980s	that
7981s	yeah but again now another Dragon strike
7984s	coming through zoning these players back
7986s	just a bit more and it left phone
7989s	haven't it been for themselves now you
7991s	got the isolation coming through from
7993s	shikami shikikami
7995s	and I mean it's looking great awesome
7997s	now with the push up and that's exactly
8000s	what they needed right the dragon strike
8001s	to push these players back here
8003s	shikikami really just holding on to
8006s	whatever they can to stop this
8008s	aggression from Vancouver
8009s	as we ringing the bell the the mass
8012s	reload we all have a compulsive reloader
8014s	friend I love that she can call me like
8016s	you said right they re-established
8017s	themselves they just used those two olds
8019s	to like their their most powerful zoning
8021s	tools to just lock it down as best they
8024s	can burn a minute off the clock half the
8026s	time make now gone Vancouver Titans blue
8029s	they have a couple ultimates more
8030s	importantly they have that early pick
8032s	onto Megatron who used the window zombie
8034s	also comes out yeah they're stalling for
8036s	time right now I mean at this point
8037s	that's all shikakami needs the arrow
8039s	still though trying to create some of
8042s	that skill cap hitting the shots maybe
8044s	what though right behind it and you see
8046s	that they're looking at it right now
8048s	Vancouver Titans blue they may as well
8050s	bring the payload down home and that's
8053s	exactly what is happening coming down
8055s	towards the spawn again creating a bit
8058s	more push to make sure they have that
8060s	coverage kept and again the shots
8062s	continue to fire a pretty much Vancouver
8065s	Titans blue right now though I mean a
8068s	big contest coming down towards the
8070s	point
8070s	and nothing much to work with though I
8073s	mean Vancouver Titans will they prove
8075s	themselves again and again and again
8076s	when it comes to those group fights when
8078s	it comes to those team fights down onto
8079s	I mean the payload they always tend to
8082s	win things out
8084s	yeah I mean you you can't deny that that
8086s	was a pretty strong ground from
8088s	Vancouver Texas blue like you had that
8090s	amazing start from what which is going
8092s	to be in every Sizzle reel for this
8093s	tournament for the rest of the year I'm
8095s	sure uh like
8097s	at the same time though right we talk
8099s	about oh they have these great team
8101s	fights they're really setting up they
8102s	know like the kit of this composition
8105s	but look at that time bank right they
8108s	started Street space with like 5 15 and
8111s	they finished the map with 17 seconds
8113s	barely finished the map right in in the
8116s	overall sort of like Kings Row time bank
8118s	Zeitgeist that is like a barely finish
8121s	though sometimes you don't even finish
8123s	them out so at least they got those
8125s	three points shikami now have an
8128s	opportunity you know
8130s	you had such a great defense there you
8132s	managed to really stick it out you don't
8134s	fully stop but you burn a lot of time
8136s	there it's a good stall some good sort
8139s	of like defensive setups across various
8141s	stages of the map now can you do better
8144s	can you build up enough of a Time make
8147s	advantage to create something meaningful
8148s	when if this game goes to extra rounds
8152s	or as Vancouver Titans blue is suddenly
8154s	going to pull out an even better defense
8156s	and stop shikakami before they can even
8158s	finish the map like the win condition is
8160s	there for Vancouver Titans blue series
8162s	point is still on the line Dara looking
8166s	for the little side shot I think I think
8169s	Titan's blue or maybe a little paranoid
8170s	after realizing that hey if we can do
8172s	that they could probably also do that
8174s	let's maybe hang back with the phone on
8176s	the echo sneaky in that huge anti-name
8179s	yeah really smart move to move it back
8181s	but now they're gonna have to try to
8183s	pick off this fight completely paralyze
8186s	this you have two players coming around
8188s	the back Vancouver Titans blue
8190s	oh man I looking at this fight and the
8193s	way that things went phone might just be
8195s	a little bit too strong on that Echo but
8197s	again the effort was there I feel like
8198s	now the adaptations just have to come
8200s	through she could call me I mean
8202s	obviously probably gonna see some
8203s	changes here
8204s	I mean still sticking up for Megatron
8206s	but I mean maybe not as you
8208s	they're looking to keep this together
8211s	and she could come in thinking about it
8213s	you can tell yeah this is definitely a
8215s	moment where it's like do we stick do we
8216s	make adjustments what do we need to do
8218s	here that Echo is obviously a wrinkle
8220s	the Anna with the antinades is such a
8223s	force Claire hits such a huge one in
8226s	that fight to really create an advantage
8228s	for the two type of glue hits another as
8230s	well zombie goes down because of it hazu
8231s	is about to go down because as well like
8233s	that is an advantage that you really
8235s	need to look at if you should become
8238s	yeah but advantages Don't Come Easy
8240s	especially with this choke point I feel
8242s	like the choke point really just makes
8243s	things harder for shikakami to move
8246s	themselves past that so they really do
8248s	need something sneaky to come through
8250s	but what's gonna play that sneaky role
8252s	going on to the Tracer I'm shaking my
8254s	head what's your over under here I'm
8256s	gonna say I'm gonna say two kills I'm
8258s	thinking I'm thinking yeah too okay I
8262s	mean polls comes through actually
8263s	damaging themselves along the way here
8265s	for Vancouver Titans blue now they miss
8267s	out on that Tracer I I cursed the heck
8270s	out of that and I apologize uh it's
8273s	tasty though still getting some work
8274s	from coming through with the Nemesis 4
8276s	I'm gonna take down there as Cassidy
8278s	here you need a little more than that
8279s	for King's Row though right so here
8281s	comes the annihilation trying to chase
8282s	down some squishies Megatron goes down
8286s	chasing this down looking for potential
8289s	I mean so far Vancouver Titans they've
8291s	been doing a really good job at again
8293s	keeping their composure not losing out
8295s	in the fights looking at it also
8297s	isolating these players down towards
8299s	their spawn
8300s	shikakami really can't catch a break
8303s	here not again
8304s	we can't do an overrun but still what's
8307s	just doing the thing being that Tracer
8309s	forcing the suzu early that's great the
8311s	Nemesis form construed forces the
8313s	Kitsune Rush early the sound barrier
8315s	from Angel just to keep everyone in the
8317s	fight and the Dead Island spawn we take
8319s	those I guess
8322s	taking a lot of solo fights though as
8324s	terrorists by themselves it feels like
8325s	we need a bit of a heavy regroup right
8327s	everybody needs to start pushing in
8329s	together to see what they can do you're
8331s	looking at the Winston sticking alone
8332s	out we'll also backing off but
8334s	unfortunately gets taken down as well
8335s	and they think the only potential now
8337s	leaving it up to this Widowmaker coming
8339s	out from Dara if they can get a couple
8341s	opening shots here they can move in
8343s	towards that point Dara trying to
8345s	channel sure for here going for a great
8347s	bamboozle three minutes out of the four
8349s	minute time bank here not a lot of time
8351s	you need to convert on this pretty quick
8353s	but that could be the Difference Maker
8356s	if you can hit that shot but that Glides
8358s	from the echo way too quick
8363s	looking through with it as you trying to
8365s	get some of that redemption or if we
8367s	looked at the fight before
8368s	and now look at this again they're
8371s	pushing back like crazy because all that
8373s	matters right now really is capturing
8375s	that point you got 26 seconds left
8377s	standing she could call me right now
8379s	again what is impeccable but it's what
8383s	and phone the two DPS again making the
8387s	numbers count making their ultimates
8389s	work and taken out also along with it
8392s	less than 10 seconds I frankly don't
8395s	think that anyone physically can touch
8397s	here though I will hold my tongue until
8399s	you see for sure the power slide
8401s	attempts to come through for Dara does
8403s	not quite make it and man we talked
8406s	about our Vancouver Titans blue gonna
8407s	pull out some amazing defense uh they
8409s	didn't they did do that
8413s	oh man and that's uh I do believe
8418s	you know the next one coming through but
8423s	Vancouver Titans blue they really showed
8427s	a good showing today I felt like she
8428s	could call me weren't too far off but it
8430s	was it was this very very micro
8431s	adaptations that really needed to come
8433s	through as to where you know just just a
8436s	really good hole from Vancouver Titans
8437s	blue down in that last second especially
8440s	down in the choke point but it felt like
8442s	there was a lot of individual fights as
8443s	to where she could come as a whole they
8445s	felt stronger when they kept that
8447s	cohesion
8448s	yeah I mean titans blue like we talked
8450s	first thing we mentioned about Vancouver
8452s	Titans blue is that they're formed of a
8455s	core they are of a previous roster they
8458s	have had that time this entire off
8460s	season right to stick together talk it
8462s	out you know learn everybody's favorite
8464s	color and their order at Applebee's or
8466s	whatever the heck you do for team
8468s	bonding right and that has translated at
8471s	least
8471s	to in-game Synergy because you could see
8474s	all the coordination coming through from
8476s	this team and how like seamlessly they
8479s	were able to work together to set up
8481s	these big concerted pushes forward and
8483s	these massive defensive holds like
8487s	that takes some serious hutzpah as the
8490s	kids say so I I love to see that coming
8493s	out from a team that has the backing of
8496s	an OverWatch League franchise right you
8499s	expect that this is a team that has
8500s	their stuff together that has the
8503s	resources to focus and put their best
8505s	foot forward every single match and
8508s	that's not to Discount chickikami
8509s	because it's an amazing roster they held
8512s	that pretty close for the vast majority
8513s	of that series like you had some great
8515s	pushes from them like clear intense
8518s	mechanical skill
8519s	but at that level those little
8522s	differences in structure and cohesion
8524s	and time spent just the hours are what
8527s	make the difference
8530s	yeah it really is the hours and uh right
8533s	now Vancouver Titans blue for them also
8536s	kind of a history going into it they've
8537s	been here for a while they've been
8540s	putting in the work and the effort
8541s	alongside shikakami I'm not going to
8543s	discredit them as well because they
8544s	really did play to their best efforts
8547s	and they did an amazing job I'm not
8549s	going to lie to you I feel like if we
8550s	were to get a rematch maybe in a week
8552s	she could call me could definitely bring
8554s	things back and honestly look back at
8556s	the Vlogs and say yeah we did this wrong
8558s	we fixed it we know what we need to do
8560s	next time against the team like this one
8561s	but you see that one to one and you see
8563s	that two and oh Titans blue continue on
8567s	with a very good streak but I'm more
8569s	excited because we get to actually get
8571s	an interview with somebody from
8573s	Vancouver Titans blue so stick around
8575s	we'll be right back after this break
8588s	thank you
8605s	[Music]
8618s	[Music]
8633s	foreign
8639s	[Music]
8647s	[Music]
8665s	foreign
8680s	[Music]
8697s	[Music]
8731s	thank you
8745s	[Music]
8778s	all right welcome back everybody I am
8781s	excited to get into our interview uh but
8784s	simple
8786s	I don't know why I said Pitbull and
8788s	pimple hello
8790s	um you know for for me
8793s	um I'll I'll let you say you know who is
8795s	the Magnificent player will be able to
8797s	interview today and we'll be speaking
8799s	with phone today uh for honestly for a
8802s	second production brought it up and I
8804s	was like we're like we're calling
8805s	someone and then I remembered there was
8806s	a player named phone phone but it's also
8809s	an audio interview instead of like the
8811s	whole vtuber setup or whatever I don't
8812s	think that's the standard by the way so
8814s	it's kind of a phone interview with
8816s	phone anyway hi phone welcome to the
8818s	show happy to have you board congrats on
8820s	the win
8821s	hello thanks for having me
8824s	awesome thank you I mean thank you for
8826s	coming uh
8828s	and uh thank you for giving us honestly
8831s	a banger of a match it was super
8832s	exciting to watch you guys play uh I
8835s	guess starting off with this interview
8837s	uh more so you know coming into this
8839s	game obviously this team it looks pretty
8842s	threatening in itself looking at the
8844s	roster what were your thoughts behind
8846s	you know playing against this team and
8848s	and how you guys felt behind the scenes
8850s	oh yeah we're actually I'm actually a
8853s	friend I'm actually friends with a lot
8854s	of the players on uh shikigami so that
8856s	was really fun to you know play to play
8858s	against them and everything a little
8860s	Trash Talk in in Discord servers and
8862s	stuff before the game uh we warmed up
8866s	against them before uh the games today
8869s	so actually you know a little bit of a
8870s	rematch of the warm-up today and so we
8872s	kind of knew how they like to play and
8875s	how to play against them
8876s	and I think that helped us a lot in
8878s	being able to like counter comp like
8880s	that King's that King's Road comp we
8882s	played uh the echo the echo tracer on
8886s	defense
8887s	we've never played that before in any
8889s	scrim or any match so that was totally
8891s	on the Fly
8893s	I love that that was actually going to
8895s	be one of my questions right especially
8896s	with you saying that you guys literally
8898s	played each other as a warm-up or a
8900s	couple hours ago you know like what goes
8903s	into you know your guys's prep overall
8906s	for this tournament like what are kind
8908s	of the things you guys have been working
8909s	on the most and I mean what what's the
8913s	special sauce that lets you just kind of
8914s	like yeah we'll play something entirely
8917s	new that we haven't played in official
8918s	before like what's what's the juice
8921s	there
8922s	uh throughout the like the past week
8925s	we've been basically putting a lot of
8926s	like ramacha and Winston comps and
8928s	swapping a little bit just like
8930s	countercoming some teams but a lot of
8932s	time just been like feeling like okay
8934s	what do you want to do here like we all
8936s	we're all confident that we can
8938s	basically play like whatever hero that
8941s	we're confident like I trust my
8942s	teammates to make the right call if like
8943s	if if had Daisy wants to swap to
8947s	um junker queen or whatever or if what
8948s	wants to go like Widow I trust that and
8950s	they make the right call they know they
8952s	hear better than I do and so when it
8955s	comes to like coming up with these like
8957s	comps we just kind of do we got almost
8959s	like filled out like okay what do we
8960s	want to play what do we think will work
8963s	for sure
8965s	it's so funny too we were we I'm sorry I
8968s	have a couple I have a little more
8969s	follow-up now that this is really
8970s	starting to get my gears turning because
8972s	okay on on Legion right we saw so many
8974s	hero swaps coming through and we were
8975s	talking about like what's the logic
8978s	there right like from one from this side
8979s	of the screen you can only make so many
8981s	conclusions but that kind of opens it up
8982s	for sure
8984s	um what you guys are clearly comfortable
8986s	switching it up kind of just figuring
8988s	out what works for you right now but
8990s	amongst all that experimentation are you
8993s	finding that anything is really jumping
8994s	out is kind of like an early front
8996s	runner for a meta air quotes composition
9001s	uh for us or for the tournament
9004s	I mean either or right like The Meta
9006s	your guy's own unique meta might be one
9008s	thing and then do you maybe find that
9010s	across the other teams like people are
9013s	starting to default to anything
9015s	uh I think right now it's depending a
9018s	lot on the map you know your more broad
9019s	Maps you're going to be playing you're
9020s	more of like your RAM May Hanzo Lucio
9023s	bath kind of what you've been seeing uh
9026s	more your open maps like on like your
9028s	circuit or your Havana you're gonna see
9029s	like double sniper cig and it almost it
9032s	almost reminds you back like end of end
9035s	of like OverWatch one cycle meta where
9037s	it was like a lot a lot of map dependent
9038s	with like teams obviously liking brawl
9041s	comps whenever like it was like kind of
9042s	like a weird hybrid map so that you're I
9044s	think you're gonna see a lot of teams
9045s	favor remotra when the map is like
9049s	kind of like like an icon world for
9051s	example you may see some one Center some
9053s	RAM on that
9056s	okay cool
9059s	cool I

9487s	excited I always say welcome back but I
9489s	want to welcome you back because it's
9491s	we're all family here at the end of the
9493s	day but overall uh family is going to
9497s	battle it out that sounds very terrible
9501s	uh but two teams are of course going to
9504s	battle it out to try to at least maybe
9507s	make a 3-0 maybe make a two to one we're
9509s	gonna have to
9510s	standings here are going to be coming up
9513s	who are we going to see and what are we
9515s	looking at here fibble
9518s	this is fun okay so we see our top seven
9522s	are two and O's right we've got our our
9525s	next solenar Vancouver Titans blue we
9527s	love that for them
9529s	um we have Dart monkeys Timeless
9531s	ethereal like some older names from uh
9534s	past calling all heroes events that we
9536s	knew were going to come into this really
9537s	really strong Timeless ethereal toode
9539s	unironic uh by the way that was one I
9542s	saw on Twitter during the break that I
9543s	was pretty impressed by because I'm
9544s	ironic they had a great showing to start
9547s	but I think that kind of shows like what
9550s	our top eight are are really showing up
9552s	like uh obligatory team yippee shout out
9556s	uh twitch has been going crazy about
9558s	team up so good for them uh West
9560s	luminaria as well a recent uh
9563s	introduction into the calling all heroes
9565s	scene uh their signing was only
9567s	announced I believe yesterday because I
9570s	wrote that tweet that was me
9573s	um and then we've got the team showing
9575s	up here for our next match uh we have
9578s	bumblebees currently sitting in third
9580s	though I think that whole first seven
9582s	are kind of equal here going up against
9585s	Whiplash who we did just see in that one
9588s	and one column over on the other side
9589s	and then here on the on the back half of
9592s	the 2017 teams we have a few more one
9595s	ones alteora Summit managed to pull out
9597s	a win after their initial loss to an
9599s	ironic marmorris Goji gang equalizing at
9602s	one one infected kittens Toki Pilots
9605s	pretty empower are all rounding out that
9607s	middle line out of the first two rounds
9611s	and then towards the end we have all our
9612s	o and twos I won't harp on that it's
9614s	still not too late for those teams like
9616s	whatever man it's the first day do as
9620s	best you can just talk this out have
9622s	some fun with it make sure you're
9623s	learning as you go from these first few
9626s	matches on our first day of the radio
9629s	Heroes major
9630s	yeah I I do want to ask though I mean
9633s	what are your opinions per se because
9635s	Whiplash obviously I wouldn't say a
9638s	one-to-one really carries much weight
9640s	against this uh you know current match
9643s	of that we're seeing right now but
9644s	running off of a tuno streak you're
9646s	coming into this all if you're
9648s	bumblebees you're really want to make a
9650s	good impression you want to keep that
9652s	streak going and not only that but you
9653s	obviously just like earn that streak for
9655s	a reason so I guess looking at number
9658s	one I love how they're both animals and
9660s	number two looking at me yeah looking at
9664s	the you know the matchup ahead of us
9665s	what are you expecting
9668s	I'm expecting both of these logos to be
9671s	adorable because they are yeah
9673s	um like you said right like to start 2-0
9676s	is a statement unto itself but it is not
9679s	an absolute Whiplash could very easily
9682s	be you know starting up a hot streak
9684s	here where suddenly they're like oh we
9686s	got it we we shake off the rust and
9688s	suddenly we're we're cracking in there
9690s	you know and this roster in and of
9692s	itself is nothing to shake a stick at
9694s	right all of their SRS that I'm looking
9696s	at here on team Sheet pretty good we're
9699s	looking at rank 15. rank 19 rank 50 35
9702s	like these guys are up there
9705s	consistently grinding it out on the
9706s	ladder like fighting to make this
9709s	opportunity work to maximize the amount
9712s	of uh the miles they can get out of a
9715s	run through the radiant Heroes major uh
9719s	and this team strikes me as a team that
9721s	has a lot to prove right there are a few
9723s	names here that I know and there are a
9725s	few names here that I don't so I'm
9727s	excited to see a team like this make its
9731s	run because this could be the start of a
9735s	roster that we down the line know very
9737s	well that we expect a certain degree of
9740s	performance from but they got to get
9742s	started somewhere right
9744s	and then on the other side you've got
9746s	the Bumblebees this roster I mean like
9749s	we said they're 2-0 to start their
9751s	tournament run this roster has some
9753s	names I know for sure especially
9755s	including aramori prominent content
9758s	creator OverWatch personality generally
9761s	super cool person hey dude and then the
9765s	rest of this team as well has this
9767s	consistency and mechanical skill that
9770s	has been shining through Even in our
9772s	first couple rounds of this tournament
9774s	right to show up at a clean 2-0 to sit
9778s	currently in our top three maybe if if
9782s	that is actually like ordered in terms
9784s	of like how close their Maps were or
9786s	things to that effect
9787s	that says something so for bumblebees
9790s	like you want to keep that like top
9792s	three sort of standing you want to
9794s	quickly dispatch of this upstart
9797s	Whiplash team and show that you are
9800s	above all that middle of the pack stuff
9803s	starting 3-0 is where you start to have
9806s	that pull away you know and start to
9808s	striate yourself in the upper echelons
9810s	and all the other fancy words I could
9812s	pull out for that they want to win they
9814s	want to win this real bad because that
9816s	is a statement your first day going 3-0
9818s	that's that's pretty good yeah I I as
9823s	well as the fact that not only if is it
9825s	your first day going through now but you
9827s	know you make a statement to everybody
9830s	watching saying you know what hey I
9833s	looking at last year you know looking at
9835s	the performance of the individuals what
9837s	not uh you know we've come together even
9839s	stronger we've made a team that we know
9841s	can really push through and for you guys
9843s	who are used to taking that first spot
9845s	first place spot uh watch out and I
9848s	think bumblebees is here to make that
9850s	happen or maybe Whiplash is going to
9852s	quite literally give some Whiplash over
9854s	to bumblebees that's something that we
9856s	could also see so it really is a big
9858s	insurity like of just not knowing what's
9861s	gonna happen
9862s	yeah and actually looking because we
9864s	still have a little time here looking at
9866s	all of the previous like teams and
9867s	tournaments that both of these rosters
9869s	have been a part of you have multiple
9871s	calling all heroes Champions here right
9874s	you you have uh Mari over on whiplash's
9877s	side I believe that's how it's
9878s	pronounced the pronunciation literally
9880s	just says dealer's Choice there so
9881s	dealer's gonna choose you have players
9885s	that are consistently placing top four
9886s	in a sides and spring Series last year
9888s	you have top open division players you
9890s	have Altura Trailblazers winners a
9892s	Collegiate Championship winners will
9894s	English Invitational like uh top three
9897s	calling all heroes last year like some
9900s	huge pedigrees across both of these
9902s	rosters I almost didn't realize really
9905s	that the core of bumblebees is quite
9908s	strong top three calling all heroes uh
9911s	quarterfinal eliminations in last year's
9913s	Collegiate championships like
9915s	there's some medals on on a few necks
9918s	across these rosters uh that actually
9921s	gets me super hyped you know we talked
9923s	about our last match being some big
9924s	names and stuff like that yeah these
9926s	teams aren't necessarily familiar to me
9928s	in their current forms but their
9931s	achievements are and that's exciting
9934s	I'm yeah I do want to say though uh I
9937s	want to look at a fun fact because I
9939s	feel like we haven't looked at some
9941s	points
9943s	so I I guess the one that I'll do I'll
9945s	do uh one from bumblebee one of my
9947s	favorites it's actually a substitute
9949s	uh so KJ or chesty uh I skipped my
9954s	eighth grade formal to play fortnite
9957s	that was a big favorite of mine
9960s	that's that's a fun one I I would I
9964s	think if I was an eighth grader when
9965s	fortnite was around I probably would
9968s	have done that
9970s	here I'll find one let's see we have a
9972s	pro Gundam Evolution player with over 16
9975s	over 5 000 in prize earnings that's
9979s	Mario again shout out to that
9982s	um
9983s	for par it literally just says Chillin
9985s	bro which
9987s	uh I am a rainbow trout that is z
9991s	Panther you know these are fun like when
9993s	we say fun facts they really do make
9995s	them fun yeah though they are not
9997s	necessarily always facts uh because you
10001s	know you might like feel like the whole
10004s	rainbow trout thing is you you ain't
10007s	about that life you ain't about that
10011s	my friend who likes fish is not here to
10014s	correct me on fish facts but
10016s	yeah you know multiple failed attempts
10019s	at finishing culinary school oh my gosh
10022s	did you read the second half I did I did
10025s	I wasn't gonna put that one out there
10027s	you're more than welcome to finish off
10028s	that phone all right well I mean listen
10030s	it's a fun fact hey they wrote it out on
10034s	the sheet you know what we do with it
10035s	after that I guess is our I guess it's
10037s	our business yeah apparently
10045s	really need to win this honestly
10049s	I give it to them it totally could be a
10051s	joke but at the same time it could
10054s	totally not be a joke yeah I I very
10056s	nearly went to culinary school and the
10058s	main thing that stopped me from going is
10060s	that it's not cheap no uh so you
10063s	definitely a good meal I mean right yeah
10065s	like I did wear I know how to cook at
10067s	least but I wasn't about to spend one
10069s	apparently thirty nine thousand dollars
10071s	on going to school for it
10073s	um so I just watched like um you know
10075s	cooking simple get my skill from that
10078s	yeah yeah yeah yeah we we stand clear
10081s	safets in this house we we love her to
10083s	death
10084s	um yeah so I mean I guess you know
10087s	Whiplash really want this that five
10089s	thousand dollar split amongst the team
10091s	will really put a small chip in that
10093s	thirty nine thousand dollars so get in
10096s	there Whiplash I'm I'm rooting for you
10098s	y'all y'all need this for sure
10102s	um man we are starting up on Oasis I
10105s	guess we should like talk about map and
10107s	the series of the games that are being
10109s	played uh we haven't seen this one yet I
10111s	like that we're doing a different
10112s	control map each game
10114s	um I feel like Oasis like all control
10117s	Maps we could say this about literally
10119s	any of them each different sub Mac gives
10121s	you such a different look we talked
10123s	about that with lead German control
10124s	center it's very true of like Nepal or
10127s	Busan or anywhere you go yeah uh Oasis
10130s	has space for like Ariel uh compositions
10134s	the Pharaoh and the echo that we've been
10135s	seeing a little bit of already
10137s	but also has space for those like
10139s	Brawley diving in your face bouncing
10142s	around flank sort of styles that we've
10145s	seen from a lot of teams today so I'm
10148s	gonna start it on a good one man I'm
10149s	ready for a banger in this last series
10153s	and a banger we shall get I Have A Bit
10156s	of Sympathy for whiplash based off the
10158s	culinary school story so you you know
10161s	looking at this matchup I'm kind of like
10163s	man
10164s	you know that that 5K would really serve
10168s	them well yeah yeah then again
10171s	you know uh really having a fight for
10173s	that spot which I feel like they can't I
10176s	feel like here
10178s	in this particular moment as we start to
10180s	you know really pick up this Oasis
10183s	Matt I'm more so just intrigued to see
10187s	how these two teams are going to play
10189s	against each other because bumblebee I
10190s	mean they have a really stacked roster
10193s	oh yeah yeah I mean you know looking at
10196s	that little you know the the previous
10198s	achievements tap right both of these
10200s	teams so much experience right like we
10203s	said we maybe haven't seen these cores
10205s	together in quite this form but we have
10207s	seen these players achieve some great
10210s	things in OverWatch within the past like
10212s	year and a half two years so these teams
10215s	kind of coalescing here in the major is
10219s	what the calling all heroes circuit is
10221s	about right form your super team like
10224s	put together the best talent you can
10226s	find your friends find people that you
10229s	trust to put on a good show and get out
10231s	there because this even now a first day
10234s	still establishing that Baseline still
10236s	don't know a meta still don't know every
10238s	team's Comfort picks just yet we haven't
10241s	had that level of analysis and this is a
10244s	great opportunity for these teams you
10246s	know not to necessarily spoon food us
10248s	all that info but to show us what they
10251s	can do what they're capable of how they
10253s	fight through like adverse conditions or
10256s	tough opponents that's the kind of stuff
10258s	you need early on in a major set
10261s	yourself up show what you can do show
10263s	the world why we should care
10266s	that's what this is all about and I love
10268s	to see that
10272s	caring caring is caring
10274s	it is sharing the dub no but
10280s	um maybe that's just how this should end
10283s	it's just the dub shared
10286s	excuse me folks yeah I love vamping
10292s	hours it's fun you know it's fun to just
10294s	sit here you're all on the the thibbling
10296s	rompers podcast or the operation filter
10299s	maybe sounds a little better
10301s	um
10301s	yeah we're just gonna sit here I don't
10303s	know we'll start I'll pull up a random
10304s	Wikipedia article here in a couple
10306s	minutes
10307s	no I I won't actually you read me some
10310s	um like
10312s	like Lucio or Mercy Lord I bet actually
10315s	you know I bet there's some out there
10317s	I'll look into that if we're gonna kind
10319s	of keep the flyovers okay yeah I want to
10321s	hear some more I want to hear yeah
10323s	there's there's so much there's so much
10325s	out there
10326s	um man yeah I'm a I'm a big history buff
10329s	and I've followed OverWatch since like
10332s	Alpha tests basically in in like 2015 uh
10337s	so yeah you you pick up a thing or two I
10339s	have a box of Lucio's in my closet I
10341s	think oh
10348s	BlizzCon who bought like I don't know
10351s	five or six boxes and would just stand
10353s	behind the camera at the World Cup and
10355s	pour Lucy of those all over himself that
10358s	was a fun one that's a that's that's a
10360s	fun guy
10361s	um you got me like looking looking
10363s	online now looking to buy this
10365s	yeah I mean we're supposedly having like
10368s	real deal live BlizzCon this year so
10370s	that's a new chance to throw Lucio O's
10374s	all over yourself if that's what you're
10376s	into okay
10378s	but uh to save you all from our
10381s	ramblings I believe we are actually
10383s	getting into game uh finally it took us
10385s	a little bit you know you got to get the
10387s	lobbies in you got to make sure
10388s	everybody's ready All That Jazz you're
10390s	starting on City Center which I like
10392s	quite a lot very open air lots of flanky
10396s	bits the whole center point being like a
10398s	hiding spot uh makes it just so fun and
10402s	dynamic tracers and Wrecking Balls
10405s	thrive on this point you see some crazy
10407s	stalls and flips just because of how
10409s	quickly you can get back to point on the
10411s	right uh right Heroes so excited to see
10415s	what these teams can do looking at some
10416s	early compositions
10418s	yeah I wouldn't doubt if occasionally we
10420s	see a wrecking ball down in those last
10422s	seconds to stall for time but you know
10424s	right now it does seem like we're seeing
10426s	some Winston and this doesn't surprise
10428s	me uh to be quite Frank with you I feel
10430s	like you know with the Winston coming
10431s	out this is uh one of the biggest plays
10433s	they can do get a bit more radius
10436s	with their shots see how much damage
10439s	they can apply for but as we started off
10441s	it's really just gonna be that burst
10444s	fight whoever gets this really gets a
10448s	very very big boost up towards that lead
10451s	so different compositionally right
10453s	mirror Tracer Sombra died like we're in
10457s	Apex all of a sudden targeting the early
10459s	kill onto Jam immediately
10462s	yeah they trade already Avery making
10465s	some numbers here with the Winston I
10467s	said I liked it and you can see kind of
10469s	why uh right with everything working up
10471s	towards this moment but yeah just auto
10474s	moving backwards not getting enough
10475s	heals as the healers the support are
10477s	down so not a lot of coverage there
10481s	first capture for whiplash right a bit
10483s	back and forth a bit of an extended like
10486s	yakety Sacks chased down for fight which
10488s	is really what you get on City Center
10490s	the immediate hack coming through there
10493s	park is on it which is how to go down
10497s	yeah again I I really do enjoy the
10500s	Sombra I feel like if you can play the
10502s	somber tactically enough and you
10505s	understand how to really hit that back
10507s	line like in this moment right now part
10508s	watching up above trying to gather that
10510s	information without any extra notice I
10513s	can't notice right now trying to get a
10515s	half through maybe they can fight for
10516s	something but you're looking at it at
10518s	that moment the damage that comes down
10520s	able to at least you know assist with
10523s	more even more down on the point having
10525s	to back themselves off and again the
10527s	Winston fight commences
10530s	so back and forth we're still Whiplash
10532s	just holding right like you don't need
10534s	to go on the crazy chases you don't need
10536s	to worry too much about farming for
10537s	picks unless there's an early one like
10540s	that available you just need to make
10542s	sure you stick to the point and don't
10544s	give up space bumblebees though they're
10547s	building up some Oaks right you have an
10548s	EMP coming online which will be weird
10552s	um chisado has the pulse bomb well you
10554s	know mirrored on both sides there at the
10556s	same time so it's gonna be that
10559s	individual performance that makes a
10560s	difference in this fight lots of cues to
10562s	be pressed but how much mileage do you
10563s	get out well big mileage here for many
10566s	though already coming down towards that
10568s	back line this is big mini
10572s	backing off and it's about that timing
10574s	right you're looking at Whiplash you see
10575s	that 80 start to hit this is the last
10577s	fight needed four bumblebees to get
10579s	themselves up there but Ray flash are
10581s	just too strong you're looking at the
10584s	dynamic going on here and it is immense
10586s	right now popping off as it seems
10590s	getting angry and Mori trying to fight
10592s	for the last couple of seconds to make
10594s	sure nobody gets themselves down onto
10595s	that point they can test starting to
10597s	happen but still nothing the OT no cover
10600s	from Bubble beast and a possible dub to
10604s	come through from Whiplash but time is
10605s	still of yes it's here you're seeing the
10607s	teleport come back down although the
10609s	sleep is big I mean look at that how
10612s	what are the chances they were able to
10614s	hit something like that
10616s	I mean with enough practice it all
10618s	becomes muscle memory and these on us
10620s	have played the game clearly long enough
10622s	to know how that goes some last minute
10625s	attempts there to stagger from
10626s	bumblebees but as you saw pretty soundly
10629s	put to bed by Whiplash in that first
10632s	round and a great start for them right
10633s	that was pretty comprehensive
10639s	yeah overall making some numbers I I
10641s	mean I thought it was going to be
10642s	somewhat closer relatively closer if
10644s	anything
10645s	but man Whiplash we're really applying
10648s	that pressure early it felt like they
10650s	were just I guess better Hands-On with a
10652s	Winston pick yeah that Tracer somber
10655s	dive is so different than anything we've
10657s	seen I almost wonder if bumblebees
10659s	weren't quite like you maybe know like
10662s	they came out with it they knew that
10663s	that was the comp to play but maybe not
10665s	as practiced on it perhaps para was
10667s	getting so much value on that Sombra
10669s	like the Winston was getting some major
10671s	work done and now we see another mirror
10673s	actually more of what we've seen before
10675s	this from Matra Hanzo May it's very
10678s	Brawley cleave forward uh sort of zoning
10682s	composition that got so much value in
10685s	our last few series the closest thing to
10686s	a meta I think we could currently know
10689s	thank you
10690s	I'm looking for the new NADA and it
10693s	really just seemed like
10695s	I'm not sure coming into this one poor
10697s	again bringing out the Han soap like
10700s	what I'm seeing right now though the
10701s	group's starting to push up here
10702s	bumblebees and Ice Boop coming through
10704s	for whiplash
10706s	and again uh really just gave me their
10707s	composure they always win that first
10709s	fight what is going on jono is just
10712s	doing them dirty and it hurts
10716s	yeah yeah that's a that's a rough one
10718s	that's that's one you you don't want in
10720s	your low rights Montage for sure uh just
10722s	getting Goomba stopping bullied in a
10724s	corner by Lucio is a rite of passage for
10727s	a lot of OverWatch players so there you
10729s	go take your lumps sorry bud Whiplash
10732s	again establishing some solid control
10733s	here building up some ultimates so it's
10735s	relatively even across the board uh
10738s	Avery actually with a notable lead on
10740s	the annihilation there uh but the
10742s	backline for whiplash has had so much
10744s	time to heal up and kill towards his
10746s	ultimates that's gonna be big
10748s	Style
10753s	we got bumblebees they really I mean
10756s	need to fight for something right now
10758s	you see that first fight come through
10760s	this is the second one coming down they
10761s	lose this one again they're gonna give
10762s	Whiplash that opportunity to really keep
10765s	things on lockdown but the pressure is
10768s	too much so now we're able to see that
10770s	sound barrier come through I mean what
10772s	are the chances the already looking at
10775s	the dragon strike to come down pat
10777s	pushing these players back more
10780s	I mean just sticking on to it this was
10782s	what bumblebees needed the dragon strike
10784s	to come through tons and tons of push
10786s	from the mamatra and I mean look where
10788s	we ended up
10789s	yeah and look at the ultimates used as
10792s	well right so bumblebees commit the
10794s	annihilation shouldn't they commit the
10795s	dragon strike but they don't need to use
10797s	a sound barrier like what flash did and
10799s	that gives them a notable support
10800s	Advantage a sport ultimately
10804s	uh the only caveat of course is that
10806s	your 60 year 50 plus 90 is right you
10809s	need to make that stretch as best you
10812s	can dragons
10818s	try to allow themselves something big
10820s	here nice off of justado honestly get a
10824s	lot of freeze-offs here but the biggest
10825s	thing is that there isn't a lot of
10827s	assistance you keep yourselves down on
10829s	lockdown no just Auto handles it a nice
10832s	three piece to come down
10834s	yeah I mean great follow-up from
10836s	bumblebees and unfortunately Whiplash
10837s	not really able to like step in and take
10839s	advantage of their own blizzard coming
10841s	up from many the the threat was just too
10843s	great and then ultimately a few people
10845s	got frozen in the counter blizzard and
10848s	therefore just weren't able to like make
10849s	anything happen with that ultimate the
10851s	duck so now Whiplash you have not much
10854s	in the bank coming online bumblebee is
10856s	still with Point control with a dragon
10858s	strike coming online soon Crossing 60
10861s	percent that's what you need you need
10864s	power to just suddenly win a 1v1
10867s	and then get saved by the Lucio jono
10870s	coming through and taking down Jam yeah
10873s	uh yeah again though I mean the immense
10876s	amount of damage this time bumblebees
10878s	though make it a difference you see that
10879s	75 start to come through the capture
10882s	but finally there for whiplash now we're
10886s	bringing things back bumblebee they need
10888s	to fight for this last fight this is it
10890s	to be completely vague with you if they
10892s	lose out on this one this might be that
10894s	factor that allows Whiplash to run away
10896s	with this yeah we're looking towards
10899s	last night territory yeah we are
10901s	crossing 87 it is pretty much there the
10902s	dragon strike comes through that's a
10904s	good bit of damage on John of course
10906s	just kind of back off
10913s	using it well yeah me man ah man I mean
10917s	being the only one but still getting
10918s	that sandwich throughout I mean I really
10919s	have to give them that credit right now
10921s	the headshots aren't hitting and neither
10924s	are the heels they leave themselves in
10926s	an open area having a fight for some of
10928s	this control but who went flash they are
10931s	downed and the fight is there the 99 the
10935s	possible ot to bring things to an ever
10938s	breaking heartbreaking loss quite
10940s	possibly for whiplash okay Whiplash just
10943s	need to take a breath here they have
10945s	ultimates right they have the dragon
10947s	strike ready to go here it comes the
10949s	sound barrier not far behind the
10950s	blizzard not far behind that they have
10952s	the tools but they need to use them also
10955s	break it down
10957s	yeah very Aurora pure leaving jono
10959s	confident and I honestly like the
10961s	aggressive that I saw out of Jonah
10963s	before able to see just a bit of that
10965s	right now but the OT we talked about it
10968s	there is potential here mini pushing in
10970s	and getting that objective down Walling
10973s	it off and they actually managed to stop
10974s	this for a second but the Baptiste
10976s	coming down onto it Aura Mori is no
10979s	longer and bumblebees cannot win the
10982s	fight you got that map one coming in for
10985s	whiplash
10986s	I mean a great map for them right
10989s	control a lot of people talk about
10991s	control is like well if the lower seated
10993s	team is going to win a map it's probably
10995s	going to be controlled because controls
10997s	are crazy yeah but it's still a place
10999s	where you can you can put your best foot
11001s	forward you can show exactly what you're
11003s	trying to do with your compositions with
11005s	your play Styles and I think Whiplash
11006s	did a great job of that like they pretty
11009s	consistently were able to talk through
11012s	kind of the advantages that they had the
11013s	win conditions that they needed you know
11016s	I was talking about that last fight
11017s	you've got these three ultimates you
11018s	have this Advantage you just need to not
11020s	waste it and they were very purposeful
11023s	with their usages in that fight the
11026s	dragon strike to Zone everybody off the
11028s	beat immediately just getting big
11030s	sustained value so jono could just be
11033s	the bouncer and just run around wasn't
11035s	worried about sticking with his tank or
11036s	anything like that was literally just
11038s	booping folks off of The High Ground
11040s	and I think that sort of thought process
11042s	is exactly what you need you need to
11045s	like keep your head in the chaos and
11047s	just use all your training and
11049s	everything you've got so Bravo to
11051s	Whiplash there good start
11053s	yeah honestly an impeccable start it
11055s	felt like bumblebees were close off
11058s	during that second half but the only
11061s	issue was was you know again Whiplash
11063s	The Confidence coming into that and I
11065s	like how even as playing that support
11067s	role we still got to see a different
11069s	side out of jonno and and just the
11072s	overall Lucio gameplay I feel like I
11075s	feel like I've gotten enough of that I
11076s	feel like I'm really like plentiful of
11079s	it and just the confidence going into
11081s	that that's exactly what you need to
11083s	move forward with for bumblebees I felt
11084s	like a lot of the time they were just
11085s	missing out on on those very very micro
11088s	opportunities as to where it left them
11090s	hanging and you know they lost it on
11092s	those fights they I am more so just
11095s	wanting to see a possible dub come
11098s	through because again we talked about
11099s	wanting to go to that third map and you
11102s	know taking things a bit further we
11104s	haven't got to see that at all today in
11106s	this day one and I I really want to see
11109s	something come through for bumblebees
11110s	because it seems like they're there but
11112s	they just need a bit of that war not
11114s	yeah I mean maybe I there's a lot of
11117s	projections and conjecture you can make
11119s	about how teams are approaching a game
11122s	what their attitude is what their mental
11124s	state is you know a lot of people will
11126s	always speculate when like you expect
11128s	one team to be winning pretty handily
11130s	and they're not it's like oh they
11132s	underestimated that the other team or
11134s	they're boomed or they're tired or
11136s	whatever I don't think any of that's
11138s	true it's our first day of the
11139s	tournament you know like we're a little
11140s	early to start getting into their boom
11142s	they're tired whatever I don't think
11144s	that's true at all I hope though that
11147s	bumblebees now going into King's Row
11149s	that they had a good talk about like oh
11152s	these guys are actually quite good at
11154s	this they were actually doing very well
11156s	in you know this comp or this style or
11159s	in using this ultimate or whatever
11161s	um because kingroot is a great reset
11163s	opportunity right this is that sort of
11165s	place where like even if you have like a
11167s	bad attack round you can mount a good
11168s	defense or things like that it affords
11170s	you a lot of opportunities to really
11173s	take that breath reassess move in with
11177s	with Newfound confidence uh and I think
11179s	that's really all you need right you
11180s	can't let that first map decide the rest
11182s	of the series you have to come in still
11184s	thinking that's fine that map didn't
11186s	count now we're gonna 2-0 we'll just
11188s	finish it out like that so hopefully
11190s	bumblebees still
11193s	heads up keep going you you've still got
11196s	it you just gotta show so
11198s	I suppose we'll see right in the King's
11200s	Room
11201s	yeah King's Row third time but we we
11205s	love a little bit of King's Row uh in
11207s	this community so it's what happens here
11209s	it's just what we do it's okay I I
11211s	honestly I do heavily enjoy it and I
11213s	feel like again King's Row if
11216s	King's Row is
11218s	you know it's even it's sometimes it's
11220s	honestly very one-sided for what we've
11222s	seen all day today it has never been a
11224s	close fight
11227s	yeah yeah it definitely can be right
11230s	like you see king throw often enough and
11233s	you see every kind of King's Row there
11234s	can be you see a King's Row where it
11237s	goes to extra rounds like three times
11239s	right and it's like 10 to 10 or some
11241s	crazy nonsense like that you see King's
11244s	Row where both teams cannot capture the
11246s	first tick you know where like both
11249s	defenses are just so good and you really
11251s	never know which version you're gonna
11254s	get so
11257s	I guess we just have to see right like
11259s	is whiplash gonna keep this momentum and
11261s	just
11262s	completely I mean send us home early
11264s	right give us three two o's and call it
11266s	a day or is this where bumblebees start
11269s	to go okay no no no no we want to dig
11271s	our heels in a bit King's Road is a
11272s	great opportunity for us to do that
11274s	we're just gonna you know go a little
11276s	crazy with it you know maybe hit like a
11279s	a manifesting uh an immediate out of
11282s	Spawn Widow headshot like we had one
11285s	but what if we had to
11287s	kind of cool uh you can see so many
11289s	different compositions here Hanzo I
11291s	fully expect to be around junkrat is an
11294s	option Diva ramatra Winston uh Mari has
11299s	listed uh roadhog as one of her favorite
11301s	Heroes so like give me a little roadhog
11303s	you know he kind of sucks right now but
11305s	like there's always a chance
11307s	just uh come on like having some fun
11309s	with it let's see what you can do
11312s	it kind of sucks right now it's it's
11315s	roadhog's whole thing he's either crazy
11318s	insanely broken op one shots are unfair
11321s	or
11323s	is completely useless that's it yeah
11326s	that's this whole thing
11328s	bruh pretty valid but I actually I
11331s	actually really like this because we're
11332s	seeing an erisa
11334s	I do feel like if there is something
11335s	that I've been wanting to see today that
11337s	I feel like we haven't is that Arisa
11338s	play uh especially coming from Whiplash
11341s	that's going to create such big pushback
11344s	with a possible first pick from Minnie
11346s	there's gonna be such a big opening
11348s	starting off I I do hope I was gonna say
11351s	come on settle settle figure it out you
11354s	got five seconds whatever the pick is
11356s	here I think Whiplash going first early
11359s	like wacky start would be fun does look
11362s	like we're just getting the LA matcha uh
11364s	playing a little Caster roulette with us
11366s	many not getting much with that first
11367s	one just gonna go for the May hanza
11369s	we're seeing the mirror we're seeing
11371s	what we expect here maybe this is
11372s	crystallizing into like air quotes The
11374s	Meta
11376s	and for now I mean you can hardly
11378s	abandon there's so much potential in
11379s	this composition and both teams seem
11381s	very comfortable when they practice
11384s	yeah honestly it is looking good too
11387s	because it feels like from what we've
11388s	seen so far Vermont you're definitely
11390s	getting a very very good pick in terms
11392s	of just the overall health and you know
11395s	the stance that they have they can keep
11397s	themselves alive for a very long time
11399s	but drink taken one down left and right
11402s	getting the shots fired not even missing
11405s	out I mean a headshot already coming
11406s	down there as well and Whiplash they
11409s	create such a big pushback that
11411s	bumblebees they can't even get past that
11414s	yeah that's definitely one of those and
11416s	so many of these fights are really down
11417s	to like what's that first pick look like
11420s	right there's no mercy on the field
11421s	there's only five players not six so
11424s	that first pick is so much more
11426s	impactful and if you manage to get like
11429s	a high-flying DPS or one of the key
11431s	backline players and so much the best
11433s	right so great openings there for
11435s	overviews just like hey we're just gonna
11438s	crack this open early and just get a
11440s	stop to it chisado already with a
11443s	blizzard and it's been about a minute
11444s	twenty that's 30 hit of many so far and
11447s	happy to use that
11449s	you know laying it down or amore
11453s	I mean they're really not giving
11455s	anything over to Whiplash it's uh
11458s	honestly quite impossible for them to
11461s	even push up at this point especially
11463s	with the amount of pressure we're seeing
11464s	bumblebees they might just take this you
11466s	know down to that third map of the pace
11468s	that they're going because we got two
11469s	minutes and they have created such big
11472s	pressure
11473s	that's immediately coming through here
11476s	oh Drunk Monkey Style mini going down as
11479s	well this could be a bit of an opening
11481s	here four bumblebees to maintain that
11484s	strong defense
11487s	oh and this is big though he's getting
11490s	walled off can't even assist at this
11492s	point it's just consistent chisado again
11495s	taking that three-piece down into action
11498s	and now moving these players back over
11499s	towards their spawn side whiplash
11502s	I mean this is a different pacing than
11504s	what I was used to down on control but
11506s	it feels like hybrid might just be the
11508s	game mode for bumblebees it just might
11510s	be and like we said King's Row is such a
11512s	good reset opportunity it's a map that
11514s	everyone knows that everyone's
11516s	comfortable on and you know these
11518s	players are suddenly they're having a
11521s	good King's brother they are feeling
11523s	themselves I curse them immediately
11524s	justado goes down this is a good opening
11527s	to Whiplash to finally start breaking
11528s	through with only a minute on the bank
11532s	barrier okay coming down but this is
11536s	just to break some of that shielding you
11538s	can see drunk the dream coming down
11541s	came out part already trying to find
11545s	themselves down in a situation right now
11547s	the Hanzo from bumblebees
11550s	honestly it's like chasing yeah trying
11553s	to swat down a fly like it's super hard
11556s	to really compete with that Lucio hey
11558s	get down no
11561s	a lot of that we love that
11564s	I don't know like Whiplash finally with
11566s	an opening but they don't make anything
11567s	of it not just SATA with this blizzard
11570s	right like that's an early boundary you
11573s	just ice block away McDonald's does get
11575s	Avery that's maybe an opening which is
11577s	out of unfazed hardly even matters to
11580s	them if Whiplash managed to cap or maybe
11583s	they just let Whiplash take a couple
11584s	ticks come in from repeat tests what
11586s	have you
11587s	kind of hold his own here he's drunk
11590s	monkey style without doing Monkey Style
11593s	things that is their name by the way
11595s	um a long one but I suppose we
11598s	appreciate it
11599s	going down to zero now they are in an
11602s	overtime fight
11604s	with the OT Whiplash again Walling
11606s	things off this is big midi actually
11608s	making big moves here but unfortunately
11610s	Fighting by themselves so and that is
11613s	the issue Whiplash not even allowing
11615s	their teammates to have an understanding
11617s	as to what is going on so you leave
11619s	yourself out in the open and the Lucio
11621s	jono The Last Hope now going down but
11624s	Whiplash this time around they've
11627s	managed to pull the impossible
11629s	that was a weird one yeah it's always
11633s	weird when it's like oh they capped they
11636s	okay so that means they won that fight
11638s	right but they're all dead though how
11641s	does that work ultimately it means they
11643s	just spent 10 seconds get that cart part
11645s	moves along Drunk Monkey Style here
11647s	looking for a little cheeky making sure
11649s	he's not gonna get plank but also going
11651s	to myself many of those the one who's
11654s	gonna open you can stop taking down
11655s	chasada just walked over to that Tracer
11657s	a championship player right but that
11661s	doesn't make you immune from the uh
11662s	stray little pop-off here on the
11664s	sidewalk
11668s	actually now that they've gotten out of
11670s	that choke point in that pressure there
11672s	from that doorway they have a lot more
11674s	room and it does seem like it is it has
11676s	become contagious they're more confident
11678s	they feel better about themselves not
11679s	watching the back line though you see
11680s	chisado starting to come a long down
11682s	with that Tracer we have the full spot
11684s	so there's a lot of potential here to
11686s	open things up right now is the time but
11689s	of course it comes out with flash
11691s	whipping out some of that you I mean
11694s	overall abilities now you're looking at
11696s	you soda with a post ball and getting
11698s	the one coming down behind and it's
11700s	impossible they're running around like
11702s	crazy you can't even find the open
11703s	opportunity to shoot it down
11706s	yeah I mean you're really breaking into
11708s	like some true just brawl back and forth
11710s	sort of fights Whiplash forced to leave
11713s	despite the checkerboarding of the kill
11715s	feed there jam with The Parting blow
11717s	onto me man who was forced to respond
11719s	just a little bit later just swapping
11721s	back to the bank realizing that you know
11724s	the tracer's fun for some flank damage
11726s	but you really need that wall and the
11729s	consistency of Elizabeth on the other
11731s	side
11732s	we got a bit of a wild card here we got
11734s	fire swapping a little Bastion me are
11737s	dropping one of those remote mines and
11739s	just flunking away
11741s	okay
11744s	more interesting right now as we see
11747s	right the monster bringing things up
11750s	just to be here for whiplash and I mean
11752s	the pacing has changed completely the
11753s	only issue that I'm seeing here uh
11755s	honestly could potentially be the time
11757s	fibble
11758s	yeah I mean your time bank is still not
11760s	great right yeah you have 90 seconds to
11762s	finish the entire map which it is not
11766s	the easiest thing in the world there are
11768s	plenty of teams who do not finish their
11770s	attack of King's Rome it's perfectly
11772s	possible for a hold to happen here that
11774s	said Whiplash they do have their
11776s	blizzard because they weren't doing any
11778s	Tracer swaps a couple fights ago the man
11780s	also coming online with the Ant-Man
11782s	tricks as well just gonna see what sort
11784s	of value you can get out of that whether
11785s	it's zoning or a sheer amplification
11787s	Mayhem bumblebees on the other side you
11790s	have your Annihilation you've got you've
11792s	got drunk monkey style getting some text
11794s	onto that Bastion you were talking so
11796s	much about
11800s	you're not fighting back this time
11801s	though Bumblebee's finally finding their
11803s	pacing I mean if they give one second
11805s	more
11806s	a way to Whiplash they can turn things
11808s	around in a second going over towards
11811s	that other half 39 seconds left this is
11813s	the last fight Pitbull standing out and
11816s	right now they really need to win things
11818s	out though Truck Monkey style isn't
11820s	letting anything pass by no just
11823s	complete zoning doing so much to damage
11825s	or at least the threat of it but the
11827s	flanking on a maze is actually huge to
11830s	get the immortality field does come out
11834s	as far as cooking now our Scott ultimate
11837s	I've got the kids
11840s	you know getting the frags down with
11842s	lash really putting things together in
11845s	the Bastion pick just allows for extra
11847s	damage to conclude but falling out of it
11851s	and not have enough at this particular
11853s	moment but you got that 2-0 right now
11856s	Whiplash just leave the one more to
11859s	finish things off but it's Mori fighting
11861s	again to keep this point down in contact
11863s	and the payload has reached they've
11866s	finished it and that round one is theirs
11869s	that that was
11870s	that's a funny one I haven't seen that
11872s	before mostly because Bastion knew
11875s	Bastion is new right I've never seen the
11878s	Panic of well I got booped and I
11880s	probably need to switch so I need to use
11882s	this ultimate now unfortunately did not
11884s	manage to get any of the mortar
11886s	configuration shots down before falling
11889s	into the bottomless pit of despair or
11892s	whatever that's called
11894s	um but hey you still finished that map
11896s	right we were talking when they finished
11898s	the streets checkpoint uh 90 seconds is
11901s	not a lot
11902s	it was enough it was just enough in fact
11905s	a bit of an overtime push there to get
11907s	things across the line but that
11909s	establishes a win condition for you
11910s	right for series Point against a big
11913s	team there's 2-0 on the day so far you
11916s	just need to hold them before they
11917s	finish this map
11923s	right now
11925s	for whiplash uh honestly
11928s	it was the last couple of seconds
11930s	bumblebees couldn't hold on
11932s	right where we are right now looking
11934s	back at the memories and that started a
11938s	revolution Whiplash they get a second
11940s	chance
11943s	yeah suddenly you have this opportunity
11945s	right we're like okay Bumblebee's had a
11947s	pretty strong attack overall or sorry a
11950s	strong defense overall but you still
11951s	finish now bumblebees get to attack and
11954s	Whiplash has that line drawn in the sand
11956s	the knowledge
11958s	just how far you need to defend is a
11960s	boom unto itself it informs your style
11962s	of play and where you're gonna fight and
11965s	things like that because you know
11966s	exactly how this map makes bricks so I
11970s	think this is a great opportunity for
11972s	whiplashing for them I'm sure the
11973s	pressure is on like guys let's close
11975s	this out let's not let this go to
11976s	another three that is not what we want
11978s	play smart throw them off their game get
11981s	in there like that mini health pack
11984s	let's let's make this stuff get away
11989s	yeah they're really trying right now
11990s	par's a bit too far down behind that
11992s	back line so there isn't a lot of
11994s	pressure being created right now but the
11995s	damage is immense right now Poor's
11997s	location has been given they have to
12000s	play with the team for now but you're
12001s	seeing those eliminations come through I
12002s	mean she's Otto before they were playing
12005s	such a big part as to how they were
12008s	consistently able to just take down
12010s	Whiplash right now it's showing again
12012s	and the May is just impeccable
12015s	continuously applying that pressure
12017s	right now able to contest uh I mean
12020s	overall the point taking that payload
12022s	down
12024s	I think I could say quietly I don't even
12027s	know if that's true has had a damn good
12030s	King's route like you're consistently
12032s	saying in the kill feed just hitting the
12034s	icicles on May the accuracy as well and
12037s	the consistency with the issue has been
12039s	hitting those shots cannot be
12040s	understated because May doesn't have
12042s	damage all off right like she's a cannon
12044s	it does not matter where you are if
12047s	you're hitting those shots you are
12048s	creating a Major Impact plus of course
12051s	just blizzard as an ultimate pretty good
12054s	so like gisado has really been like
12056s	making the best of all worlds happen at
12059s	for her team and bumblebees right
12062s	they're working
12064s	oh they really are oh there's so much
12067s	going on right now everybody has popped
12069s	everything and it's I I mean honestly
12071s	playing them accurately so you're seeing
12073s	the bats he's really uh coincide with
12076s	the Hanzo trying to create more of that
12078s	damage boost but it seems like everybody
12079s	going towards lane side moving
12082s	themselves upward trying to get the high
12083s	ground but just Auto shuts it down
12088s	okay yeah that felt like a like a go
12091s	terrified everyone press q and then
12093s	nothing happened and then the Hanzo just
12095s	got to take it you know very emblematic
12099s	of an older Age Era of OverWatch
12103s	um
12107s	Annihilation going towards back on here
12111s	blizzard okay
12114s	Avery wasn't even playing the game they
12116s	were boxing they had the mainly coming
12120s	out left and right right hook left hook
12123s	and now I I mean as it stands
12126s	Whiplash really trying to fight this
12128s	back but you got three minutes and 33
12131s	seconds here standing for bumblebees at
12133s	this point if they manage to escort the
12135s	payload as far as they can they can
12138s	potential Rises and the question Rises
12140s	and bumblebees
12142s	I'm gonna really just end things off if
12144s	we manage to go down to that over time
12145s	but our Mori I mean at this point still
12147s	having an ultimate available they can
12149s	utilize this to create some of that
12150s	damage boost and this is paid for the
12151s	next fight
12153s	Sato was so survival there ducking and
12156s	dodging me diving and all the other
12158s	stuff they said in the DodgeBall movie
12161s	um like managed to survive long enough
12163s	to build the ultimate out completely
12165s	just broke the ankles of everyone on
12167s	Whiplash he was trying to kill her pulls
12170s	out that Blizzard at the end to seal the
12171s	deal and you've got four money that was
12174s	yesterday uh in the time bank which is
12176s	phenomenal when you're looking at the
12178s	time being on the other side where
12179s	whip-offs are barely able to finish the
12181s	map now Whiplash we need to dig their
12184s	heels and then burn this time back but
12186s	already they're getting so pressured
12189s	feels like there was an infinite pool
12192s	coming out from Mr sato's gun
12195s	but now that it has finally ended at
12197s	this point wait flash they're pushing
12199s	and pushing but can they do what they
12201s	did before the last seconds
12204s	trying to find at least a miracle to
12206s	push by with and they're pushing down
12208s	towards spawn they know exactly what
12210s	they need to do in these moments for
12211s	bumblebees they need to push
12214s	yeah a stay of execution here for
12216s	whiplash right finally re-established
12218s	establishing themselves after kind of
12220s	sliding on their butts for the last
12222s	couple minutes in the last few fights
12224s	finally managing to set up a position
12226s	here you got to make sure you don't give
12228s	that away for free don't get picked play
12231s	smart keep your movement on points and
12233s	commit some ultimate to the annihilation
12234s	already coming out the blizzard ready to
12236s	go zombie are not quite long
12240s	oh luckily car actually
12243s	not put into a situation like that one
12245s	could help out and uh they did it I mean
12248s	whiplash
12249s	they really ended up getting taken out
12251s	in a couple seconds
12252s	yeah that was a fight where the first
12254s	half of it nothing happened and then the
12255s	second half everything happened but the
12257s	second half was only three seconds long
12259s	now bumblebees if you have all these
12261s	zoning tools you have the annihilation
12263s	the doof is coming out from Marty just
12265s	trying to stall trying to bounce around
12267s	immediately locked down by that mabo
12269s	sound barrier coming out from jono
12276s	oh no the Tracer battle I it feels
12279s	impossible to hit a tracer especially in
12281s	these last moments right tensions are
12283s	high right now the Doom is brought out
12285s	to try to push these players back but
12287s	there is absolutely no pushback Whiplash
12291s	again playing with the May going into
12293s	their cryofreeze and now ending things
12296s	off down in that round two you have time
12299s	you have the power and you may as well
12303s	just call it because I mean look at that
12306s	mmm be careful all right
12311s	and we have seen
12313s	crazier holds than this let me tell you
12317s	uh my mind goes back to not a King's Row
12321s	but actually a 2cp a horizon lunar
12323s	Colony uh runaway versus congdu panthera
12326s	years ago now at this point ancient
12328s	history but I believe it was like a five
12330s	minute 40 time bank
12333s	and that ended up being like a full hole
12335s	draw it can happen however
12339s	bumblebees were looking pretty good
12341s	towards the end of that round looks like
12344s	they had kind of figured things out
12345s	gotten a bit of a download on Whiplash
12348s	and what they were trying to do where
12350s	they were trying to set up and what
12351s	abilities they were trying to use
12353s	now it comes down to can you make that
12357s	Mojo work for like one more fight
12360s	you have 221 that's enough time
12363s	conventional wisdom is that it takes
12365s	about a minute to build an ultimate and
12367s	you generally want to swap if you're
12369s	gonna swap with at least a minute left
12372s	so they have a couple fights here you
12375s	know 30 to 40 second fights but they can
12377s	try things out before needing to switch
12379s	or perhaps I've already cursed it and
12381s	they're just gonna immediately walk up
12383s	and win on the first one we'll see right
12385s	now
12389s	I think honestly
12391s	honestly in fact the option I'll take
12392s	the ladder please is pretty much what
12394s	they said but yeah I I mean just Auto
12397s	listen we're focusing on justado because
12399s	we know exactly what they're gonna pull
12401s	out with this Ramada I mean we're Mantra
12404s	now the Wall comes up distancing these
12406s	players zoning them out as well some of
12409s	that assistance comes through the
12410s	Whiplash airplane a different game this
12411s	time around right they have that Shield
12413s	coming up they're trying to create some
12415s	of that distance with the Lucio boobs
12417s	oh and the shot is fire chisado finding
12422s	a nasty shot coming through in the air
12424s	taking out one of the supports and now
12426s	supporting themselves here
12428s	yeah I mean Whiplash they're they're
12430s	just kind of trying to staunch the
12431s	bleeding here right Bumblebee's also
12433s	happy to take their time build up some
12435s	ultimates find exactly the right moment
12437s	to deploy them here they go more you're
12439s	just saying let's go get in the button
12440s	Jam immediately R everyone's Staying
12444s	Alive thanks to that Amplified healing
12446s	comes out just in case an Annihilation
12448s	from Mars can't forget anything back
12453s	feels like a
12454s	kiss battle right now may versus may
12457s	just try to freeze things up a bit push
12459s	those walls further to push these
12461s	players back further as well but luckily
12463s	enough we're seeing some ultimates come
12464s	through the dragon strike to clear it
12467s	out and the wall to keep it together we
12470s	have a victory from bumblebees and they
12474s	managed to bring out the best
12477s	I think it's been a long time since I've
12478s	seen a point cat where three of the five
12481s	people on it were all Frozen yeah and uh
12484s	yeah that was that was chisado's world
12486s	and Whiplash we really just living in it
12489s	you know like sure you get one last
12491s	blizzard out but with no follow-up and
12493s	no time before that capture
12495s	I I think bumblebees did exactly what we
12498s	figured they needed to do right you got
12500s	to show up right there you got to dig
12502s	your heels in and say no dude we are not
12504s	gonna get too owed after having such a
12507s	tremendous start to our tournament run
12509s	like we are going to make this we're at
12512s	least gonna go out swing right and
12514s	that's where we're going we're going to
12516s	the land of swings map three
12519s	ah the map three this is what we were
12522s	waiting for this is what we were asking
12523s	for and I'm excited for the map Theory
12526s	we finally get to see a different mode
12527s	as well which you know gets kind of that
12530s	ref refreshing flavor that we haven't
12532s	gotten to see yet
12534s	yeah we're not uh this is a for sure not
12537s	King's Row
12538s	guaranteed statistically not to be
12540s	King's Row yes we've only ever had one
12544s	OverWatch match where the same map was
12546s	played twice so it's not going to be
12547s	today yay we don't quite know what our
12550s	third map is going to be just yet I
12551s	believe but we're getting there
12553s	um and yeah like you said right we
12555s	haven't seen what's coming up just yet
12558s	this is a new one this is a new chance
12560s	for both of these teams like is
12563s	basically a best of one now right the
12566s	Slate is clean it just start fresh and I
12569s	hope you know Whiplash right having such
12571s	a strong start there and then stumbling
12573s	a bit on King's Row just like we were
12575s	saying with bumblebees at the start of
12577s	that map I hope Whiplash just takes that
12579s	breath it's like that's fine
12581s	that's fine it's a clean slate we just
12584s	need to win this map and we're good
12585s	because I think having such a strong
12587s	start like that you should still have
12588s	that confidence like we still did have a
12592s	phenomenal start to this series we still
12593s	can finish this series in as strong a
12596s	fashion
12597s	but then you got you got bumblebees on
12600s	the other side who for sure want to like
12602s	okay we've got momentum let's push let's
12604s	not let up this is come on no no more of
12608s	this like silly business let's just
12610s	clean this up and go our Trio
12617s	surprise but you know I was expecting a
12620s	fight from bumblebees it really didn't
12621s	feel like control was going to be that
12623s	push that
12624s	I felt like I was gonna see but luckily
12627s	enough we did get a different flavor now
12629s	we're looking at that one-to-one score
12631s	line that third map again really has me
12634s	intrigued and like you said
12635s	statistically it cannot be King's Row
12639s	that is accurate and that is amazing
12642s	because we get to see again something
12644s	different which you know I mean could
12646s	really either make or break bumblebees
12648s	again uh because you know we saw how
12650s	different they played on you know in a
12653s	control
12654s	and it quite possibly could be one of
12657s	those situations
12658s	yeah I mean
12660s	our last interview even right The Meta
12662s	you know we're we're seeing a lot of
12664s	that like ramatra Brawley mirror but the
12667s	meta is also very map dependent right
12669s	now we did not see any remotra uh on at
12672s	least the first section of Oasis right
12674s	and we're getting into Rialto Rialto is
12678s	one of my favorite Maps it is also one
12680s	of those like big open sight lines fun
12683s	for snipers fun for your aerialists uh
12686s	things like that there is some space to
12689s	still run those Brawley sort of
12690s	compositions like vermontra would still
12692s	do fine here
12694s	but if you want to kind of mix it up now
12697s	is maybe the time on a map like this
12699s	maybe not for the whole map right like
12702s	maybe you just kind of throw something
12703s	out on the first couple fights or when
12705s	you need to switch things up at a new
12707s	control point or things like that
12709s	um
12710s	but yeah like you said Rialto is this is
12714s	such a fresh opportunity for both teams
12716s	and a game mode that plays very
12718s	differently uh you know to your controls
12721s	and even to your hybrids uh it is
12724s	largely similar but still the Topography
12727s	of these Maps allows for so much
12728s	flexibility
12731s	yeah I I actually do kind of want to see
12733s	something
12735s	so you know Hans who's been taking up
12736s	that spot pretty generously
12738s	uh with just those consistent things
12741s	coming through but worth ryalto again
12744s	you know we talk about push and pull but
12746s	this is exactly what this game mode is
12749s	right just consistent
12752s	fights coming down if you lose one
12755s	I mean you give yourself a couple meters
12758s	to move up and
12760s	I feel like overall this could go very
12762s	very quickly or be one of the longest
12764s	games that we've had so far absolutely
12766s	yes yeah escort traditionally has been
12769s	like there's a reason they have a
12771s	leaderboard in the OverWatch League of
12773s	fastest completions on escort Maps
12775s	because I kind of like push I guess if
12779s	you start winning a few fights
12781s	in a row you get very snowballing very
12785s	fast yes build up that ultimate
12787s	percentage the other team is always
12789s	respawning always running back and
12791s	trying to establish whatever foothold
12793s	they can you know deny a point capture
12795s	or things of that nature and if you do
12798s	it right I mean teams have finished
12800s	Rialto in like
12802s	two minutes 90 seconds something like
12805s	that insane time things right
12807s	but then sometimes you have matches
12809s	where both teams are doing
12811s	and both teams finish the map two or
12813s	three times and then you go
12816s	uh so how does this get decided like it
12820s	really starts getting very Nitty Gritty
12823s	very brass tacks very fast
12825s	and then on the whole other end of that
12827s	we've literally seen I think it was
12829s	Dorado actually like Washington versus
12831s	London or something like that tapping
12833s	into my databases here I'm pretty sure
12836s	the Justice were held to like a meter on
12840s	Dorado one time like literally stuck and
12844s	spawn the entire map which sucks that's
12848s	pretty bad right that feels pretty bad
12850s	so hopefully we don't get either end of
12854s	that very wide spectrum hopefully get
12856s	something nice and comfy in the middle
12857s	uh but there's the chance that was my
12860s	point there is always the chance that
12862s	you get some major shenanigans on an
12864s	escort map
12866s	I'm I'm wondering uh you know in terms
12869s	of
12870s	what we're looking at here obviously I
12873s	can't I could just lift off list off a
12875s	couple Heroes that I'm hoping to see but
12877s	more so you know again I feel like there
12879s	has been a very frequent thing that
12882s	we've been looking at in terms of what
12883s	could the metal look like here for
12885s	calling all heroes and it does feel like
12887s	it is
12888s	you know a bit of that Hanzo that we're
12891s	looking at consistently I I do believe
12893s	we haven't seen a lot of vermontra
12897s	uh come through but pretty much almost
12898s	every single game but in your eyes what
12902s	are we looking at composition wise
12905s	so like I said I don't think just more
12908s	ramatra more of that whole composition
12910s	would be unheard of I wouldn't be
12912s	surprised if both teams were like that's
12914s	just what we feel is best right now
12915s	we're gonna keep running that regardless
12917s	of the map totally possible however
12920s	you could if you wanted to swap things
12923s	up from some pretty major ways I think
12925s	Hanzo right now has been too ubiquitous
12927s	really to swap but you could go double
12929s	sniper maybe pull out like a sojourn or
12932s	a Widowmaker or something like that to
12933s	add a little oomph on these long big
12935s	sight lines you could also get like a
12937s	pharah or an echo and maybe even a mercy
12940s	to support that you have these huge Sky
12942s	boxes that you can do so much with
12944s	there's plenty of cover for you like
12946s	that is a solid idea it's just a matter
12950s	of is that going to do enough damage to
12953s	justify not having like a May or
12955s	something like that because that's
12956s	probably what the trade would be do you
12958s	have a May or do you have like an echo
12959s	or a pharaoh so we'll kind of see how
12962s	the teams feel I'm sure they're talking
12964s	about it right now as we continue our
12966s	fly through and continue our vamping
12969s	um but I I think both teams you know
12972s	have looked at this like just because
12973s	it's the third map in the series doesn't
12975s	mean that they haven't been practicing
12977s	the heck out of it I'm sure they've done
12978s	plenty of work on escort and have plans
12980s	as to okay to start we're gonna do this
12983s	if they run this we're going to have
12985s	this counter in mind like all of that
12987s	like rock paper scissors is just very
12989s	prevalent at this level in OverWatch so
12991s	I'm excited to see like do they kind of
12993s	go with the strategy that we saw in our
12996s	last series where it's like what do we
12998s	feel like right now or is it a more set
13000s	in stone like no dude this is what we
13002s	play here and uh we are about to find
13005s	out or at least begin formulating that
13007s	picture in about 12 seconds
13012s	picture in our heads I'm ready
13015s	I'm waiting I'm eager
13018s	to see what's gonna happen here
13020s	two seconds in
13022s	all right the Zen pick and I I mean you
13026s	talked about it right the distance there
13028s	could allow for some sniper action
13031s	yeah this is very that's a very
13034s	interesting composition for bumblebees
13035s	we'll see yeah Drunk Monkey Style is
13037s	still sticking with that hanza not yeah
13038s	I'm thinking about as well so this yeah
13041s	this is a composition that enjoys like
13042s	Hey we're gonna set up on The High
13044s	Ground we're gonna kind of stay back and
13045s	just kind of poke and you know you're
13047s	gonna have to come to us sort of thing
13049s	with the diva and the Tracer playing
13050s	bouncer really like going for going for
13053s	some Dives but also definitely having to
13056s	focus on some peel for some otherwise
13057s	pretty immobile uh heroes in the other
13060s	three
13061s	Whiplash also looking to be going the
13064s	same route here kind of like we see in
13065s	like circuit Royale like you see that
13067s	long range take advantage of the sight
13069s	lines uh back line and this Widow coming
13071s	up from par is only gonna get a couple
13073s	shots there does get that nice headshot
13075s	on the the big diva head box uh 13 is
13079s	actually sticking with this pick I think
13080s	this is fine this is not unexpected
13084s	yeah they continue to land their shots
13086s	they might just be able to you know load
13088s	up an ultimate or two try to get a bit
13089s	more value and coverage as well
13092s	so the shots can land a bit more
13095s	accurately but right now I mean the
13096s	biggest importance right is getting that
13098s	opening pick off a part they know the
13100s	own is sitting up top possibly taking
13101s	out some of these heels here but missing
13104s	some of the shots and this is big
13106s	yeah I mean John Madden Alice is here if
13109s	you're playing Widow you need to be
13110s	hitting some shots right getting some
13112s	tank damage here is is great and you're
13114s	building up your ultimate and you're
13115s	applying that pressure on the front line
13117s	but yeah you want those squishies in the
13119s	back right that's what you're here to do
13121s	and man drunk monkey style is actually
13123s	keep in par pretty honest keeping her on
13125s	the back foot here the cart does manage
13128s	to get towards that corner but it is not
13129s	getting much else some picks really need
13131s	to open this up for what is essentially
13134s	a pretty pick heavy composition
13139s	get in heavy with it
13141s	right now we can I I really do like the
13143s	Zen pick I feel like it creates so much
13146s	unsurdy of you know should I be peaking
13149s	this is this a position that I really do
13152s	want to take and you got to start to
13153s	think to yourself like right now right
13154s	whiplash
13156s	you got Arya update two afraid to really
13158s	push things up a further to make those
13161s	advancements
13164s	yeah like you really want to try and
13166s	find any
13167s	can here right Whiplash looking for any
13170s	sort of bit as par now on that Sombra
13172s	I'm going for uh heading around for a
13174s	cheeky flank I see over there in the
13176s	X-ray uh the antenata media getting
13178s	eaten and the dragon two just holding
13181s	that down the Nano boost does come
13182s	through the champ gets kind of jump
13186s	It's just never ending right now
13191s	but as far as it goes I think Whiplash
13194s	you know really are testifying pretty
13196s	well
13197s	against everything going on the only
13198s	issue is is that I'm not seeing again a
13202s	lot of stuff going on it's a lot of
13203s	those individual fights Arya trying to
13205s	fight towards that back line push these
13207s	players back as well but nobody there
13208s	for assistance and
13210s	you know uh biggest thing is now you got
13212s	that cooldown waiting for Arya you gotta
13214s	recollect
13215s	yeah the the regroup here is definitely
13218s	the player right you need to not just
13220s	kind of stagger in or try and trickle in
13222s	on different flanks or make something
13224s	happen by yourself this is a composition
13226s	that that generally enjoys that sort of
13229s	individual play but you really need to
13232s	stick together to get any value out of
13233s	it and hopefully not get picked by the
13235s	Hanzo on the way
13237s	it's nothing
13239s	back to spawn
13242s	look
13244s	trying to find
13247s	a little bit more than what they have
13248s	been promised so far but bumblebees you
13251s	know again continuously playing that
13253s	defensive role and it seems like what
13255s	they're best at is keeping that hold on
13258s	lockdown
13260s	yeah I mean right now like this is
13263s	you're pleased as punch if you're
13264s	bumblebees right now right you're you're
13266s	getting your picks you're keeping Sombra
13268s	honest that's not the first time power
13270s	has been caught out and forced to
13271s	translocate early you have some
13273s	ultimates online you have that
13274s	Transcendence in case things get a
13275s	little squirrely or if Mari throws out
13277s	that Diva bomb early Whiplash like
13280s	you're You're Building towards a couple
13282s	tools but you don't have a ton and Avery
13285s	getting an email here means so your back
13287s	line is already truncated for too many
13288s	seconds in the bank
13294s	we do have at least you know some of the
13296s	ultimates coming through for bumblebee
13297s	so you know for this last bite they can
13300s	actually keep things nicely intact you
13302s	see oramori
13303s	finally pulling off the heels yeah
13305s	nobody's going down just yet one second
13307s	left and it's over and they don't have a
13311s	lot of distance to go off of right now
13312s	for that payload
13314s	nope ah something tells me this is not
13316s	going to be one of those Rialto's where
13318s	both teams finish the map two or three
13320s	times uh because that was a whole and
13322s	half that was pretty good
13324s	62.96 now the win condition four
13328s	bumblebees to finish this series out 2-1
13331s	and maintain their 3-0 on the day
13334s	and I mean that was pretty comprehensive
13335s	from their defense right like I was
13337s	saying you were keeping Parr very honest
13339s	on that Sombra after the Widow already
13341s	did not get a ton of value just off of
13343s	Bumblebee's positioning alone you're
13345s	hitting your shots when you need to be
13347s	drunk monkey style doing drunk monkey
13349s	style things chisado is still being
13351s	incredibly consistent with Avery kind of
13354s	playing bouncer you know it's standing
13356s	in the Midfield doing what Divas do
13359s	this composition is a great look for
13361s	them honestly it favors that like we've
13363s	been together for a bit we have that
13366s	sort of synergy communication down pat
13368s	and we know how this comp plays this
13371s	feels like a very practiced composition
13373s	for them
13374s	um and you love to see that you love a
13376s	team just kind of running on all
13377s	cylinders and playing their best when
13379s	they need to because it's it's clutch
13381s	time right now you really got to stick
13383s	it out
13385s	foreign
13400s	now you got Arya really trying to work
13401s	things around which is um in itself
13404s	going to be big but I feel like here
13405s	from Whiplash one of the major things
13407s	that I didn't get to see is that
13408s	Potential from Arya coming down to the
13410s	Tracer so I'm gonna need to see a little
13412s	bit more maybe I mean that pressure
13414s	towards that back line could help but no
13416s	backline left to be seen especially as
13417s	the Tracer on Tracer presser starts to
13420s	come along just Auto goes down this is
13422s	big ferraria Creeds I mean somewhat of
13425s	an opening here
13426s	yeah jono uh perhaps interfering with
13428s	the honorable 1v1 but I don't think Aria
13430s	is going to complain too much nice
13431s	little melee finish uh onto chisado
13434s	forced back to spawn as we get 40
13436s	seconds into the attack round for
13438s	aramore sorry for bumblebees our Mario
13441s	is the person I was going to talk about
13442s	next it's not geez
13445s	um still looking towards that katsune
13447s	Rush the one difference in compositions
13449s	here uh because where you do not have a
13452s	Zen on that side which side of getting
13454s	it effect onto the Zen on the other side
13456s	and the Hanzo and Avery finishing up
13458s	that back line yeah I I mean I'm not
13461s	gonna lie to you quite literally
13462s	lasering these players down but look at
13465s	this you're already a couple inches away
13468s	from the point where you need to be and
13472s	right now I mean the TV you could see
13474s	Mori really trying to push for things
13475s	and keep things intact but then again
13478s	just losing out on the opportunity there
13481s	was Whiplash really trying for potential
13483s	here with the Tracer
13485s	but again just couldn't push for
13487s	anything and it ended up being those
13489s	1v1s taken consistently to the point
13491s	where it just allowed
13493s	I mean bumblebees to take it
13495s	yeah I mean you really only need like
13497s	one or two good fight wins for a
13500s	distance that short right and you saw
13502s	Whiplash try and kind of push up and
13504s	have an early fight just to try and
13506s	stall for time just to try and create uh
13508s	some distance or some sort of foothold
13510s	that they could establish themselves at
13511s	uh and Bumblebee's just kind of said nah
13514s	dude it's fine we normally fight over
13517s	there actually right next to where the
13519s	wind condition box is so we're gonna
13521s	we're gonna go that way uh and also we
13524s	killed all of you like two or three
13525s	times so just a a clean finish right
13529s	like just bumblebees going okay that's
13531s	it like just do that and we get to go
13533s	home can we all just agree to do that
13535s	and they all said yeah yeah sounds good
13537s	sounds good and you just run them over
13539s	right like that took all of a minute
13541s	because you just step up right away you
13544s	just grab one
13554s	bumblebees
13556s	um it was uh super quick and again it's
13559s	kind of leading back to the beginning
13560s	this can either be super quick or the
13563s	longest game that we've had so far and
13566s	it was one way I didn't curse it it was
13569s	nice yeah that's all I'm gonna say that
13572s	was probably me I I think I'll take
13573s	ownership on that and I was like you
13575s	know sometimes these matches Go real
13577s	long
13578s	it didn't I'm sorry I mean I'm not sorry
13582s	to bumblebees they probably feel pretty
13583s	good about that they they probably if
13585s	they had heard me going oh sometimes
13587s	these Go real long they would probably
13588s	all tell me to shut up so like you know
13591s	they're probably feeling pretty good
13592s	about this you lose that early map and
13594s	then you go nope nope nope nope we're
13596s	not that team we're not those guys we
13598s	are going to bring this back we are
13599s	going to go 3-0 on the day
13602s	Whiplash looking at the other end you
13604s	know one and two it's not as bad as it
13606s	could be but you've got some ground to
13607s	cover now
13608s	yeah I mean it really isn't I think I
13611s	honestly I would say that
13613s	I'm pretty happy with the way things
13615s	went overall man bumblebees really came
13619s	back they came firing they came shooting
13621s	their fists you know a really uh it just
13624s	created such a different energy and it
13627s	shifted that's where bumblebees you know
13629s	they weren't feeling it but they kept
13630s	that mental high and they really stuck
13632s	it out in these last couple of seconds
13634s	but I mean I really do have to say ggs
13636s	two bumblebees and a nice try to
13638s	Whiplash for really pulling strong I I
13642s	do want to say it really really quickly
13644s	though before we go to our interview uh
13649s	there are some if you're looking for
13651s	some shirts if you're looking for some
13653s	merchandising you know we got something
13655s	cool here if you're enjoying the radiant
13657s	Heroes major you can support radiant and
13660s	all of their initiatives by buying some
13662s	sweet merch at radiant dot store you can
13665s	see it in the uh lower right hand corner
13667s	so yeah I mean every dollar goes towards
13670s	finding more radiant events and I mean
13672s	look at this one pretty exciting let's
13674s	get more
13675s	yeah I I Am pro more of this and radiant
13679s	does so much work across a variety of
13681s	Esports and even outside of competition
13683s	their their initiatives and and
13685s	resources that they provide to the
13687s	Esports Community as a whole that are
13689s	insanely invaluable Irreplaceable there
13692s	are very few organizations kind of doing
13694s	what radiant is doing right now like
13696s	supporting calling all heroes and
13698s	providing the resources for production
13700s	and for us casters to do our thing and
13702s	for The Observers and everybody else
13704s	that's involved in making anything you
13707s	ever watch uh re OverWatch Esports work
13710s	uh so we like that stuff I hope you guys
13714s	like that stuff and if you guys like
13715s	that stuff maybe go buy a t-shirt

13719s	happening you buying t-shirts and like
13722s	watching and supporting and being kind
13724s	and all that other stuff but also buy a
13726s	t-shirt
13729s	but uh yeah I mean overall we do have an

13897s	been the team's Vibe so far
13900s	yeah so just like the nature of this
13902s	tournament just because it's so small
13904s	like everybody kind of knows each other
13905s	so
13907s	um you know we knew our our warm-up team
13909s	going in and we thought oh maybe we're
13911s	gonna have to play against the TV warmed
13913s	up against and then
13915s	um we we actually screamed the team that
13917s	we just played you know last night so it
13919s	was just like with just like a small
13921s	such like a small tight-knit community
13923s	and and everybody's just knowing each
13925s	other it's been really fun to you know
13927s	get to play against your friends and
13929s	like see friendly faces and and you know
13931s	get to beat them up on broadcast so
13933s	uh that that's been that's been the
13935s	journey so far but yeah being 3-0 it
13938s	feels good I'm I'm insanely proud of my
13940s	team
13942s	all right uh I'm just curious you know
13945s	four bumblebees
13946s	how did the team come together was it
13949s	you know kind of just seeking out good
13952s	players or you know a friendship that
13954s	really just flourished into a team
13957s	yeah so we actually have a really
13959s	amazing manager Elijah and he's been you
13962s	know working so hard on this team for
13964s	months putting it together this has been
13966s	something like right after the previous
13970s	um calling out Heroes ended it was like
13971s	okay now you know we've had these
13974s	rankings we know who's good we watch
13976s	them play and you know he put together a
13979s	bunch of tryouts
13980s	um and here we are now
13983s	yeah so I I've only really worked with
13986s	um jam before previously on a team yeah
13989s	as I was gonna say yeah I I feel like
13992s	you know obviously like you said this
13993s	has been a team months in the making and
13996s	we've had plenty of off season to go
13998s	through and kind of formulate that but
14000s	uh you know the the shuffle hits
14002s	everyone at this level uh how has it
14005s	been kind of like picking up like air
14007s	quotes this this new team and like
14009s	everyone kind of learning and getting to
14011s	know one another like if there have
14013s	there been any like fun stories or
14015s	events around like you guys coming
14016s	together as a unit
14020s	um well definitely getting to know
14022s	everyone has been you know super fun
14024s	um HQ is a bit of a troll
14027s	um I don't know if you saw but on
14028s	Twitter there's a clip going around
14029s	where she peed our whole team off the
14031s	map on Oasis
14034s	um but yeah it's been a fun experience
14037s	yeah of course like to keep them clean
14040s	the mood you know elevated for sure
14043s	um yeah it's it's been fun it's been a
14046s	really good time and I'm really glad I
14047s	get to work with and have met you know
14049s	my teammates
14052s	oh awesome okay all right well you you
14055s	are the nicest person ever can I just
14057s	say you uh you kind of just light up a
14060s	room uh but overall aramore you know
14063s	before we end things off really quickly
14065s	I I was just wondering if you had any
14067s	things to give or anything you really
14069s	wanted to say to the audience uh please
14071s	uh I mean the stage is yours
14074s	um yeah just keep cheering up my team
14077s	the bumblebees fly like a butterfly
14079s	sting like a bumblebee
14081s	um and thank you so much my team for
14083s	being amazing and sticking with me
14088s	awesome thank you so much okay uh she
14091s	started to uh it started so polite so
14094s	I am an incredibly happy with the way
14097s	that things went overall thibble it's
14099s	super nice to be able to talk to the
14101s	team again I know I say it every single
14103s	time but it really leaves a big smile on
14104s	my face to hear that not only is the
14106s	community so friendly but you know
14109s	everybody is a good friend of everybody
14112s	and it's never a competition it really
14114s	is just a fun time so that really does
14116s	warm my heart
14118s	yeah I mean like she said and like we've
14121s	heard probably a couple times over the
14122s	course of the day and on Twitter and
14123s	things like that this community is
14126s	pretty small this is a sub community of
14128s	a fandom you know that in and of itself
14130s	is not like
14131s	insanely huge just yet so everyone knows
14135s	each other everybody you know we're a
14138s	very small town Vibe here it's almost I
14140s	think the Esports comparison would be
14142s	like the fighting game Community right
14143s	like everyone in Smash knows each other
14145s	and I feel like in calling all heroes
14147s	that Vibe is very much the same so like
14150s	our Mori was saying it's a lot of like
14152s	okay we're gonna scrim a team one day
14155s	and we might be playing them tomorrow uh
14157s	who knows really so it's good to see
14160s	that with all of that kind of like
14161s	forced proximity close contact that at
14165s	least on the surface at least you know
14167s	here in interviews and on Twitter as far
14169s	as we can see and things like that
14170s	everyone's keeping it civil and having
14173s	fun and being wholesome like you said
14175s	like it's a competition but everyone is
14177s	here to have a good time you know have
14180s	some fun with it make their Mark as best
14182s	they can and
14183s	be wholesome like that's so nice we
14185s	don't get that in a lot of places these
14188s	especially in Esports so yeah well even
14191s	so I mean before we end off the day I do
14193s	want to look take a look at the
14195s	standings really quick to see who are
14196s	those teams that manage to take that 3
14199s	and L and does it really surprise me
14202s	absolutely not looking at the
14204s	performance we saw from bumblebees not
14206s	to mention listen I I know dark monkeys
14209s	they are insane and coming into this I
14212s	mean the top three players here very
14215s	well deserve their spot
14217s	absolutely yeah I mean some key matchups
14219s	here Timeless ethereal took down uh
14221s	whisper luminaria 2-0 have yet to lose a
14225s	map on the day I believe dark monkeys
14226s	are about the same uh bumblebees
14228s	obviously they did just drop that one
14229s	map but I I actually don't know their
14231s	their previous uh map scores for their
14233s	other two games you have a lot of two
14235s	ones here the two o's that you see
14238s	they're actually a couple matches still
14239s	ongoing so nixel Academy starry nights
14242s	and I believe two other uh teams uh are
14246s	still going to show only two matches
14248s	played just for now I'm sure you'll see
14250s	updates for that on Twitter very soon
14253s	um beyond that we have a variety of 2-1
14255s	teams here some pretty strong ones and
14257s	we get down to the lower section here
14259s	which again hey it's not over yet man
14261s	like you're looking for top 16. so you
14265s	probably you know for these one and twos
14267s	and Owen threes you definitely
14269s	definitely cannot afford too many more
14272s	mistakes if any you know like you're
14275s	you're on threes here your Toki teams
14277s	you kind of need to be perfect on day
14280s	two to start clawing your way back
14281s	towards top 16 but that is not
14283s	impossible we have seen some teams have
14285s	some rough starts and pull their way
14287s	back they just know their work's cut out
14290s	for them in the one and twos here
14292s	you've got your altiora Summits your
14295s	lava lilies your Toki Pilots your Altera
14297s	atlases I'm very interested actually to
14300s	see those four teams oh and infected
14302s	kittens excuse me I'm excited to see
14304s	those ones and twos start to maybe bring
14308s	things back on day two like tomorrow is
14311s	where they need to have done some
14313s	homework and some major review on their
14316s	losses and seem like where's the
14318s	consistencies in our struggle right now
14320s	what do we need to be doing to kind of
14322s	turn that around uh because I think they
14324s	definitely can and I'm excited to see
14326s	you know in the next day or two of
14328s	competition what they can do
14332s	yeah I I'm looking forward to what these
14335s	uh players can do tomorrow as well and
14338s	you know if we want to be well
14340s	familiarized with what's going on
14341s	tomorrow let's take a look at that
14343s	really quick as we move forward of
14346s	course to our day two we're gonna be
