| 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 |

| 5101s | what's up I'm so sorry it's taking a |
| 5104s | while but thank you so much for being |
| 5106s | patient uh you know we will have a quick |
| 5108s | update for you soon but as of right now |
| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
| 9060s | I honestly got a little giggle out of |
| 9063s | myself when you guys um you guys were |
| 9065s | really just switching things up and uh |
| 9067s | more so |
| 9068s | immediately like after the game had |
| 9071s | started it was like two seconds you were |
| 9072s | back in like you just went to the whole |
| 9074s | comp and you're ready to go I I really |
| 9076s | admired that about you guys and the |
| 9078s | adaptations but uh I I mean overall |

| 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 |

| 13915s | um we we actually screamed the team that |
| 13917s | we just played you know last night so it |

| 13952s | players or you know a friendship that |
| 13954s | really just flourished into a team |

| 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 |

| 13979s | bunch of tryouts |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
| 14348s | able to see uh obviously that's Swiss |
| 14351s | round to come down now that honestly has |
| 14355s | me a bit excited because not only do we |
| 14357s | have you know a new set of casters which |
| 14360s | really uh by the way incredibly talented |
| 14363s | as well we also get to see the |
| 14365s | continuation of what these players and |
| 14368s | teams have to offer |
| 14369s | yeah this is just another chance for |
