604s	and welcome everyone to OverWatch World
607s	Cup 2023 APAC group a qualifiers my name
611s	is G clef with me we have unknown we are
614s	back for the qualifiers and it's gonna
616s	be eight pack group a with stacked
618s	countries fighting for those top three
620s	spots yeah so it's gonna be really
623s	interesting uh we've been casting uh
625s	OverWatch contenders a pack which is a
627s	which is very very uh fun uh which was
630s	very fun and it's also going to be very
631s	fun watching these teams and players
634s	representing their com uh their Nations
636s	and uh we have a banger of series we are
640s	going to be we're going to be going
641s	through all the teams actually we have
643s	three matches so we will get to have all
645s	six teams all six uh countries actually
647s	representing and we'll get to talk about
649s	the teams a little more of course of
650s	course we kind of skip the patch and
652s	we're on the live patch basically so
654s	there has been a lot of changes we'll
655s	talk about that too and I'm actually
657s	very excited to be back right after Med
660s	season uh uh Miss season Madness that
662s	was really cool last week and right
664s	after after that we're continuing with
666s	the World Cup qualifiers I mean it's
668s	basically a 25 or 24 hour non-stop
670s	stream right now yeah so emea
673s	um a pack APAC A and B APAC B first and
677s	then a and then there's also um America
679s	yeah
680s	uh there's a lot of OverWatch time for
683s	you and I know a lot of you are here for
684s	the drops and so there will be plenty of
687s	matches and uh broadcast time for uh
690s	your for your skin needs and uh we we
694s	definitely have to talk about the patch
695s	G clef because we've been through two
697s	patches before the last competitive
699s	season yeah for sure and I know a lot a
702s	lot of you guys of course we all have
704s	our favorite Heroes and when it gets
706s	nerfed uh slightly slightly worse but
708s	when it gets buffed then then maybe it's
711s	time to pick up on those new Heroes like
712s	junk Queen uh she's got she's gone
715s	through a lot of changes so I think
716s	that's certainly one of the heroes that
717s	we do have to talk about so junker Queen
720s	went through a lot of changes mostly
721s	Buffs there has been two patches one was
723s	a huge buff and then one was a slight um
726s	Nerf but overall it's still I think
728s	jungle Queen's really strong the healing
730s	from her wound damage is now 200 which
733s	means that she can even uh drunker Queen
736s	was able to survive a lot of 1v4s and
738s	1v5s maybe and we'll talk about the
741s	patch a little bit later but G clef can
743s	you walk us through this uh overview
744s	here yeah of course you're going to be
745s	seeing a lot of these for the rest of
748s	the qualifiers of course we have the
750s	different regions and we are in the
752s	middle middle there a pack a actually we
755s	get pop three teams so depending on some
757s	region uh a will have top three teams
762s	but the B section group B's will only
764s	have top two teams from uh the pool that
767s	they actually have so don't get confused
769s	between that between those and then once
771s	they move up from there then we'll have
773s	a good stage and then the final stage
775s	what's gonna happen later later but the
777s	qualifiers that's going to be happening
779s	for two weeks and it's gonna be full of
781s	live patch matches so you can actually
784s	learn and you have to figure out a lot
786s	of the things that you can immediately
788s	Implement in your in your gameplay
789s	exactly uh even the previous matches and
791s	the other regions we've saw it we've
793s	seen a lot of different compositions
794s	that was coming from uh that we've been
796s	not seeing on OverWatch contenders
798s	OverWatch League
800s	um and all sorts of other competitions
801s	like for example we've seen a lot of
803s	Pharmacy recently and also a lot of Rush
806s	using frequently a lot of the Cassidy
808s	uses well a little less of the double
811s	flankers because of the Cassidy uh we'll
813s	talk about those as the patches go on
815s	but I mean tldr we are seeing a lot of
818s	compositions here and we are up for a
821s	lot of OverWatch yeah today's gonna be
823s	the first day of APAC group a here and I
827s	know we we go uh move between the region
830s	and you might be confused but just have
832s	this Channel all the time then
833s	eventually you're gonna figure out how
835s	things go and of course the map Pool
837s	yeah because it is uh first to two not
840s	first to three we will have uh first
842s	going for control hybrid as court if you
845s	go to Fourth and push map if we actually
847s	go all the way there so there is a
849s	little bit of a curveball here for the
851s	OverWatch uh World Cup qualifiers so
854s	first map is controlled and the loser of
856s	the first map gets to choose the map
858s	type attack hybrid and escort uh
861s	previously in our first to three format
863s	it was control hybrid escort and then
864s	push but for this format specifically uh
868s	the losing team can choose whether they
870s	want to play hybrid or escort which may
872s	actually change a lot of things a map 3
874s	will be uh will be push but um it'll
878s	this is a very interesting format
879s	because some a lot of these teams
881s	haven't been playing together and for a
884s	long time like professional teams and
886s	they have very clear weaknesses and
888s	clear strengths so it's really
889s	interesting to see what kind of maps
891s	what kind of compositions they will come
893s	up to come up with yeah because uh
895s	that's very interesting point on them
896s	because some of these teams actually
897s	qualify back in February and so some
901s	March so and then and then thinking
902s	about that there were some roster
903s	changes in the middle and yeah we'll
905s	talk about that as we go through the
906s	rosters too so depending on what they
908s	choose they have to choose their best
909s	map but if if they actually want the
911s	first map then there's a higher chance
913s	of actually going into that third map
914s	which is going to be push so we can talk
916s	about the match a lot more but this is
918s	today's schedule as we said this these
921s	are all the teams in group a eight pack
923s	so make sure you keep an eye on these
926s	you have your favorite team root for the
927s	team we're always always reading chats
929s	at the same time but look at these
932s	stacked teams between Japan up first
935s	Hong Kong Indonesia's second and man the
938s	third South Korea versus Chinese Taipei
941s	so I do have I mean I'm what are you
944s	gonna say Okay spit it out just do it
946s	well I mean I'm Korean so I do have a
947s	little bit of bias towards Korea but of
949s	course I will do my uh I will do my job
951s	very professionally however we do have
954s	like you said gcloud a banger of three
956s	matches here Philippines Japan's Japan
958s	was recently featured
960s	um in a lot of the APAC contenders APAC
962s	action Hong Kong Indonesia all teams
964s	that also do have several players on
967s	playing on the contenders level South
969s	Korea is basically an OverWatch League
971s	team
972s	um Chinese Taipei also with the very
974s	stacked roster so it'll I do think I can
977s	make some predictions out of this uh
979s	there are some
981s	um favorites here into into these
983s	matchups certainly however I do think
984s	that all the teams all the matches have
986s	the potential to mix it up a little bit
988s	yeah and it's going to be not just one
990s	not just two it's gonna be three teams
992s	actually making out of this uh Good Feet
993s	so you do want to put your spot in in
996s	top three but we're starting off today
999s	it is going to be Philippines the
1001s	Philippine versus Team Japan and this is
1004s	quite this is quite going to be quite a
1007s	banger because how we start because
1009s	Japan we already know from the APAC uh
1011s	it's going to be Barrel that we just had
1013s	from Apex summer series not too long ago
1015s	actually just two weeks ago yeah uh Vero
1019s	so the entire Japanese team is going to
1021s	be uh the entirety of barrel which is
1023s	which placed second on the APA uh
1026s	OverWatch contenders APAC summer and
1029s	also they did pretty well on Spring but
1030s	look at this roster from the Philippines
1032s	here
1033s	um Not So currently there aren't a lot
1035s	of players that are playing on the
1037s	professional level right now but they do
1038s	have some experienced members and
1041s	um in Chun Lee
1043s	so she was on brainless I think the uh
1047s	earlier version of brain that so that
1050s	that brings a lot of experience and I'm
1053s	just uh ready to be surprised of what
1055s	this roster can bring yeah also all the
1056s	way up all the way left on uh Redux was
1058s	actually a team Philippines member uh
1061s	member back in 2019. so which was the
1064s	last World Cup so basically uh he's back
1067s	again for to represent Philippines and
1069s	let's see how he actually uh actually do
1071s	and their opponent of course we've seen
1074s	this roster just two weeks ago and they
1076s	did pretty well almost took the entire
1079s	thing but just came a little short going
1080s	all the way uh to map actually map seven
1083s	against Kraken so this roster is a
1086s	little bit more familiar to fans who are
1088s	watching a little of the competitive
1089s	scene competitive leads of OverWatch
1092s	um Nico kuki all very good players KSG a
1095s	phenomenal tank player minted Cloud also
1097s	very good support players however uh my
1100s	main concern here is that although Japan
1102s	is our favorites here I would consider
1104s	them favorites they do have history of
1107s	being reverse swipe so they do have a
1110s	little bit of they do need to figure out
1112s	how to close out a winning series or
1115s	they might be actually in for a real um
1117s	real trouble
1119s	yeah it's going to be awesome because
1121s	Philippines they did go through their
1123s	open trials and even though it was it
1125s	was not a Flawless run through but still
1127s	uh one of their biggest opponent was
1129s	actually uh wb40 and they actually beat
1131s	them twice with a pretty big score so
1134s	certainly a deserving team to be in the
1136s	qualifier let's see how well they can
1139s	actually do against uh Team Japan here
1140s	because we've seen what team Japan was
1143s	able to do not too long ago but for
1145s	Philippines it's been a while right it's
1146s	been a while since that open trial I'm
1147s	pretty sure they did their practice on
1149s	on the new format and everything with
1151s	the new patch but we just have to this
1153s	is going to be the day because it's the
1154s	first day we're going to be removing the
1157s	removing what's been covered one by one
1160s	and see oh this team can actually make a
1163s	lot of things work like this is a pretty
1164s	cool com like the things that that we
1167s	might not know yet we're about to find
1168s	that out too yeah it's it's really
1170s	interesting for me to see I'm really
1172s	wondering how both teams kind of have
1174s	their read on the current meta right now
1175s	because it is going to be the live patch
1177s	and I think Philippines did have a
1179s	little bit bit more time preparing all
1180s	the live patch because team Japan who is
1184s	literally team feral uh was practicing
1186s	on a previous patch because of OverWatch
1188s	contenders which is also a very
1189s	important part of their competitive uh
1192s	career so Philippines do have the upper
1195s	hand in a little bit of uh preparing and
1197s	meta preparation uh it's just really
1199s	interesting to see what they will burn
1201s	out I do see Nico and kyuki on the
1203s	starting roster right now so maybe I do
1206s	suspect a double flanker which is coming
1208s	for which is the vestiges of previous
1210s	metas but
1212s	um if I right now I think for the
1215s	Cassidy Buffs really he
1217s	and kind of hinders uh the a lot of the
1221s	strengths of the double flankers so
1223s	it'll it'll definitely be interesting to
1225s	see because mihawk is also on the roster
1227s	and very a prominent hit scan as well
1229s	mihawk's not on the starting five for
1231s	this control map so it'll it'll
1235s	definitely be something yeah that's a
1237s	pretty good point and also Nico was
1238s	actually the the Tracer God on the team
1241s	literally saved the team from losing
1243s	losing their entire match on the clutch
1244s	moment Nico would be alive somehow he
1247s	would be winning one it won't be three
1248s	duels he was winning some of those
1250s	Lighthouse like taking control map by
1252s	himself at the end we thought the match
1253s	was over but Nico pulled it at least two
1256s	or three times in that entire in our
1258s	tournament but Tracer not as strong
1260s	anymore there was a slight Nerf on on
1262s	the spread which I think is actually
1264s	pretty huge uh if you think about the
1266s	range and all the damage exactly and
1268s	also Cassidy I think there are a lot of
1270s	a lot of more counters a lot of other
1271s	dpses kit that are usable and also
1274s	actually a lot of DPS actually went up
1277s	in a higher tier and so to say And
1279s	Trades are kind of coming down from that
1281s	got tier and slightly so I think they're
1283s	all mixing mixed and done and Nico might
1285s	actually have to pull something else
1287s	other than Tracer that might actually
1289s	bring them down in terms of the entire
1291s	power level as team Japan yeah so just
1293s	to kind of elaborate on what the patch
1295s	was for audacity is that Cassidy's
1298s	um grenade has been altered a little bit
1301s	so the damage was nerfed a little bit
1302s	but it has a new status Effect called
1304s	hindered and when you while you're
1307s	hindered it it just hinders well for the
1310s	namesake all kind of movement abilities
1312s	so no Tracer blink no recall not even
1316s	the TP from Sombra so if used correctly
1319s	I think this will be a really really big
1321s	counter to the double thinkers that
1323s	we've been seeing a lot on the contender
1325s	scene and also in the OverWatch League
1327s	scene as well so
1329s	um that is a big I think that's one of
1331s	the big game changers here we haven't
1332s	seen a lot a lot lot of Cassidy on the
1336s	OverWatch qualified so far as far as I
1338s	view only a few I actually didn't get
1340s	much of sleep because I've been watching
1342s	all the games for the last I guess 16
1345s	hours ish but a few cassidies not too
1348s	many I have a lot more a lot more far
1350s	mercy and also some Echoes yeah echo's
1353s	actually a good pointy Club because Echo
1354s	has been buffed a lot as well uh
1356s	especially for the ultimate charge Echo
1359s	has Echo can charge her ultimate really
1362s	really quickly now I think that was a 20
1364s	of 50 at least 15 uh buff for for the
1368s	old charge so having that early copy
1371s	will be really really important and also
1373s	on maps like ilios and maybe even some
1377s	uh Kings Row I think Echo could be it
1381s	could be a good yoga card yeah I think
1383s	there can be a lot more pairs I think
1385s	Sombra is still unchanged so we did see
1387s	a lot of sombres coming up from the
1389s	other regions so I expect that to be
1390s	about the same but it's going to be the
1392s	pair who do you pair up Sombra wit uh
1395s	those ones in the air or Hanzo
1398s	light Nerf uh personal personally not a
1401s	big fan but because never touch Hanzo
1408s	this so I'm
1409s	um
1410s	I'll confess guys and I'm proud of it
1413s	okay but yeah I do I do think that
1415s	g-club has a really good point in a
1417s	sense that uh Hanzo is a good DPS right
1420s	now especially as especially also
1422s	because Widowmaker is really really
1424s	nerfed right now
1425s	um her damage Fallout uh according to
1429s	according to the distance has really
1431s	really uh scaled off so from what I'm
1434s	seeing all my notes my secret notes here
1436s	right now is that her damage falloff
1439s	starts early and then it also the damage
1442s	fall off is increased so at 60 to 70
1446s	meters you cannot one shot a 200 HP
1449s	support and also like if we say 50s to
1452s	70 you actually can't really tell
1453s	exactly you have to be in game so the
1456s	range that you thought you'd be okay
1458s	before is totally not okay you have to
1460s	cut down cut down that Distance by
1462s	basically like half almost to get the
1464s	same damage that you wanted before
1466s	pretty much because if you're if you're
1469s	closer than 60 to 7 meters and you're a
1471s	Widowmaker then you're probably kind of
1472s	in trouble right yeah goodbye
1474s	that's not that's not a good position
1476s	for Widowmaker to be in so Widowmaker is
1479s	I mean of course even though she still
1482s	has that one shot potential and even in
1484s	close range and also does a lot of
1486s	damage to tanks if headshot correctly
1488s	but I do think that she doesn't have the
1491s	the
1493s	um I guess oppressed oppressiveness that
1496s	uh she had especially on some maps like
1498s	kavana and that kind of leads us to
1502s	um some kind of speculation for me that
1505s	maybe some some form of Rush like
1507s	ramatra might be used a little bit more
1510s	frequently I did I did see a lot of like
1513s	you said Pharmacy and ball comps a
1515s	little bit maybe even the urisa
1518s	um but in the end I do think that we
1521s	will be deviating a little bit from the
1523s	classic Winston double flanker comp
1525s	maybe veryl does want to maybe a little
1528s	bit yeah there are some there was some
1529s	some great moments from uh from the tank
1532s	from especially from Team Japan using
1534s	using a lot of Mantra plus uh the
1537s	Winston but because of Winston because
1538s	of the amount of Winston that we
1539s	actually saw in in the tournament we're
1541s	having a lot more Reapers even though
1543s	Reaper did get some change in The Wraith
1545s	form but I think I don't think it's too
1548s	like too much of a Nerf in a way right
1550s	oh well yes in in a sense that I think
1553s	it's more targeted for the Casual user
1555s	base uh because uh for this was the same
1558s	change for the Mora and the reaper and
1560s	that when you are already uh movement
1563s	hindered uh for example if you're a
1565s	graviton surge or if you have if you're
1567s	hit by a Cassidy grenade you're not able
1570s	to pop up that movement uh ability which
1574s	is uh the fade for the more and also The
1577s	Wraith form for the reaper so again I
1580s	think it doesn't it's not like a really
1583s	really big change compared in like the
1585s	up tier level But A change is a change
1588s	and we are hearing that we do have a
1590s	little bit of a technical issues we have
1592s	news for you guys go ahead
1595s	all right so we do have a little bit of
1598s	issues on the technical side for
1599s	Philippines uh we are taking a little
1601s	bit more time that so that means a
1602s	little bit more talking Time For Us yeah
1604s	which means that I'm sure you guys don't
1605s	want to see our faces as much but I
1607s	understand exactly I do look at I do I
1610s	do look at mirrors every morning well
1612s	not every morning I wake up in the
1614s	afternoon whatever so uh so but we're
1617s	hearing that we might have we're having
1619s	some technical issues with connection
1621s	issues with the players so we might have
1623s	some starting roster changes because of
1625s	this issue so as soon as we get that
1627s	sorted out we will be moving into our
1629s	first map which we don't know exactly
1632s	yet but uh we're solving that issue
1634s	right now so we have this time to talk
1635s	about the patch which is actually great
1637s	because we have a lot of a lot of
1639s	changes within the two patches and of
1641s	course
1642s	what about Genji how come that ninja
1644s	actually gets a slight buff that no one
1646s	actually notices but only Genji means
1648s	they're pretty happy about it because
1650s	they get to throw more shurikens so uh
1653s	Genji had a little bit of uh well I
1655s	don't I think it's actually a really big
1657s	I think in a sense that he has six more
1660s	shurikens which means that he have two
1662s	more shots
1663s	um in both the alt fire and the primary
1665s	fire
1666s	um I think that could be a big
1668s	difference to a lot of the Genji means
1670s	out there
1671s	unfortunately I don't think that Genji
1673s	will still be meta uh I mean yes if you
1677s	are some uh if you're a player like Nico
1680s	and you can play Genji out of your mind
1681s	well we do have xiaolian coming out
1683s	later so just wait for him and then we
1686s	can start talking about Genji at that
1688s	moment
1688s	and we have our first map this is going
1690s	to be the control and ilios will be our
1693s	first map uh out of the potentially the
1695s	uh the third and how do you think about
1698s	this one do you think we'll be seeing
1699s	some units flying in the air a lot more
1702s	um definitely so because Echo like a
1705s	like we mentioned is a lot it's buffed a
1707s	lot and pharah is also viable depending
1710s	on what kind of map it is if it's well
1711s	or the lighthouse I do think that it's
1715s	going to be
1716s	um okay so we might be seeing a lot of
1718s	uh we might be seeing a lot of Flyers
1721s	here and also I don't know maybe Diva's
1724s	here yeah Diva certainly is going to be
1726s	one of the potentially available uh
1728s	depends on the cop that they will bring
1730s	We'll see as we loaded to our first map
1733s	Leos and Philippines
1736s	okay so for for what we're seeing on the
1739s	Harvard right now Philippines is going
1741s	with the uh Winston composition however
1743s	there are making a slight variance with
1746s	the Echo and Japan is going with the
1749s	double flankers oh yes still having uh
1752s	Sombra which what not a different path
1756s	so we'll see how well this works by the
1758s	way Philippines they didn't have uh
1760s	actually uh not making it instead we do
1762s	have uh grandisado
1764s	yeah so the technical issues I think
1767s	will meet uh cop-ops make a decision
1769s	here so I think there was maybe uh
1772s	Charlie was unable to be on the lobby so
1775s	uh we hope that those issues are fixed
1778s	real soon but for now
1780s	um Philippines I think has won the
1781s	initial gamble for the uh composition
1784s	however Japan is make is showing why
1788s	they are the favorites right now for
1790s	this match they go right next to KSG
1793s	putting all the damage Source we don't
1796s	test recall all the way out his
1797s	teammates not really nearby oh there's
1799s	echo on top but you do have to
1802s	still inside and if you want to actually
1803s	do some damage so for the Philippines
1805s	right now
1806s	um there are currently no members on the
1808s	side of Japan that could actually really
1810s	threaten the echo Mercy but they do have
1813s	to make the most out of it because uh
1816s	because on the neutral fight Japan is
1819s	the stronger team so they do Philippines
1822s	do have to make the lot the most out of
1824s	the echo Mercy if they want a chance at
1826s	this match yeah Mercy certainly
1828s	certainly a DPS that can work in theory
1830s	but uh if team Japan if they hide and
1833s	just don't come out towards the range
1835s	against that Echo they can actually be
1837s	safe and also kooky here with the early
1839s	EMP so I don't think Philippines will be
1842s	expecting this because there are there
1844s	are all levels are so low so low and
1846s	cookie already has this EMP so they get
1849s	very close they don't even need it
1850s	because Nico is being a god oh I think
1853s	yours is the EMP and they clean house
1855s	and that is going to be at least a 60 to
1859s	70 percentage for Japan already that EMP
1862s	it seemed like it wasn't even needed
1864s	needed it in a lot of ways but just
1865s	gonna pop it easy oh pug butt is having
1869s	a bad having a nightmare I'm here so
1875s	okay that was a cheeky place for the
1877s	Chaser to be in but Japan is in a
1880s	positional Advantage right now on the
1882s	defense oh there is oh wow so puckman he
1887s	is taking down early as well so
1888s	Philippines does not have a tank and
1891s	there's the copy and a feed couple of
1893s	kills to follow along so maybe the
1895s	Philippines finally can have a foothold
1898s	on the point they did uh it's been a lot
1900s	of votes but that was costful but still
1903s	they needed to get their uh beat in the
1905s	control Point there's team Japan a
1907s	little lost and there's an Annihilation
1909s	KFC is just gonna pop it once the
1911s	control back immediately because his
1913s	teammates are quite away from him at the
1914s	moment kyuki all the way in the back so
1916s	we're picking up two kills on DPS
1919s	okay so Japan is using their ultimates a
1921s	little bit undisciplinedly but they
1923s	still are winning these fights so they
1925s	can't complain
1927s	because I don't think the
1929s	I don't think the annihilation was
1931s	immensely of value but still even
1934s	without the old skooky and Nico are
1937s	making these fights happen there's still
1939s	that wasn't nothing to Japan running
1942s	away with that first score against the
1945s	Philippines
1946s	oh that was
1949s	actually quite one-sided as we thought
1951s	Echo could have been really good but
1954s	team Japan they actually uh they were
1956s	hiding behind the pillar they actually
1957s	didn't really put them into the fighting
1959s	Zone I think that was a big biggest
1961s	choice because uh the chance that they
1963s	actually had so yes it was a really
1965s	dominant display from Japan
1967s	um especially in the comp wise
1969s	Philippines did I did think Philippines
1972s	did have the upper hand compboys but
1974s	Japan credit to Japan for forcing
1978s	Philippines not to make the most out of
1980s	it so even in this composition right now
1983s	it's pretty much the opposite because
1985s	it's especially on the tank side because
1987s	KSG is playing the Winston and Pogba is
1990s	playing the ramatra however I do think
1992s	it's going to be the same kind of play
1995s	because Japan is going to play around
1997s	their dps's and Philippines has to me
1999s	has to keep Puck butt alive if they want
2001s	a chance yeah so stopping into Ramada no
2004s	that was a nasty
2007s	they're diving in at the exact same time
2010s	that team was was totally there that
2012s	Genji walked couldn't really deliver
2014s	anything in that first play for the
2016s	again the first capture will be for
2018s	Japan here
2020s	again um if you look at kooky he is
2023s	hacking the right targets at the right
2025s	time so he although cookie is not making
2029s	the kills happen most of uh well some of
2031s	the times especially on well right now
2033s	but they are they are forcing
2036s	Philippines out of position and which is
2038s	what Japan needs because everyone else
2040s	on the team can make this kill happen
2041s	Sombra doesn't if Sombra can make that
2044s	kill that's totally fine that's even
2046s	better but even if they can't just
2048s	forcing them out of position and there
2051s	is the Genji gone again
2054s	what is not being a menace at all
2057s	towards the back line of Japan because
2059s	that's what they need they need to be
2061s	effective the Japanese backline if they
2063s	want anything yeah that's exactly what
2066s	they're missing Philippines they needed
2067s	some more DPS along two actually grab a
2070s	kill onto either the Wednesday which is
2072s	pretty easy because they do have Reaper
2074s	around here
2076s	Philippines are losing a lot in time
2079s	because it's already 52 on the other
2081s	side
2082s	oh this is being a massacre here do they
2085s	need to make a switch right now because
2087s	that Genji has been having no impact
2089s	whatsoever and Genji is basically
2091s	Genji's old levels are almost at default
2094s	levels so it's 30 hey while Nico already
2097s	has the pulse bomb and not 89 81 on that
2101s	EMP so a lot of fight value for Japan as
2103s	well so now it's not gonna be even the
2105s	neutral fight but also the ultimate is
2107s	in favor of Japan the Philippine needs
2109s	to pull a miracle here you can hear the
2111s	dive with uh with uh The Reaper and The
2113s	Winston but the reaper is going to go
2115s	down to two loud actually kill picked up
2116s	by Anna and Genji here not alive for too
2119s	long if she's still on Primal primal's
2122s	over now but the entire team fight is
2123s	over that's the entire team wife going
2125s	for Japan again 91 can Philippines turn
2129s	this around it's going to be the entire
2131s	match can they even touch that is gonna
2133s	be the question and all the stuck to the
2137s	reaper just nice the touch and that is
2139s	gonna be a easy 2-0 for a first map on
2143s	Japan man Japan oh we've seen we've seen
2146s	their play not too long ago and still
2148s	sticking with that uh the team con that
2150s	worked uh with a different patch but
2152s	still seems pretty good to me I mean
2155s	whatever works unless it's broken like
2157s	we don't have to really fix it and it
2160s	worked perfectly against uh Philippines
2161s	and Philippines they didn't really get
2163s	uh their big chance especially on the
2165s	second map uh to do anything uh I don't
2168s	think it was a big uh it was a big risk
2171s	to bring Genji first of all I think but
2174s	maybe having a having a quick shift in
2176s	the hero pool I think might be needed in
2178s	the next next map if they want to
2180s	compete against Japan I do think that on
2182s	the side of Philippines I they do need
2184s	to kind of figure out what they want to
2186s	do it looks like they're really
2188s	disoriented and what they want to do
2189s	because sometimes they they're looking
2190s	at the bat line againji is isolated uh
2193s	Philippines especially on well uh
2195s	Philippines Genji was kind of trying to
2198s	look at the back line but was isolated
2200s	and then caught out and on Lighthouse
2203s	they were trying to go for the front
2205s	Lane flight
2206s	and the team wasn't coordinated so I
2209s	think a little bit of better
2211s	um I guess cool coordination is kind in
2213s	order for Philippines and Japan I I
2216s	think they're holding their cards here I
2218s	do think that if they did bring a lot
2220s	they did prepare a lot for the live
2222s	patch they're just playing on the
2223s	previous patch because number one
2224s	they're used to it and number two they
2225s	don't need to pull out the new card set
2227s	yeah that's exactly what team Japan
2229s	should be thinking right now is they
2231s	single-handedly basically that was a
2233s	second one of course was 100 to zero but
2236s	the first one was actually uh not not
2238s	too well I'll be honest it was still
2241s	kind of one-sided right so Philippines I
2243s	think this is a good time to actually
2244s	adjust to the think about because they
2247s	get to choose the second and it's going
2249s	to be either hybrid or escort so it
2251s	depends on the map and maybe they can
2253s	have pull out their best comp I think
2255s	this is this has to be it because we're
2257s	not playing first episode first of three
2258s	we're playing first to two and every
2260s	every single of these matches actually
2261s	matter for you to get out of these
2263s	qualifiers so I think Philippines they
2265s	have to really spin their heads right
2267s	now exactly so Philippines I think it
2269s	will be making the choice for the map
2272s	type and map and like you said G clef
2274s	this is very important because every map
2277s	matters especially now that in this
2278s	group three teams will advance
2281s	even map differentials may even matter
2283s	especially because there are two clear
2285s	favorites in this group which is I'll
2289s	I'll be I'll risk it I'll risk my neck
2291s	and say this South Korea yeah
2294s	maybe your hair okay maybe so Japan and
2298s	Korea are clear favorites for this group
2300s	and the I think it's this fight for
2302s	third place and for that uh losing even
2306s	if you lose if you win that's that's
2309s	totally great even if you lose getting
2311s	to the full extension of the match
2314s	meaning that you get less um less roll
2317s	through in map differentials it's really
2319s	important for that qualification spot
2321s	yeah I think everything matters
2322s	everything every single point every
2324s	single kill doesn't matter it leads into
2325s	you every single percentage I think
2327s	that's realistically what you'd be
2329s	aiming for I I do agree I think we have
2331s	really high up there the two uh clear
2333s	favorites in in our group uh group a of
2336s	aipac but the third place of course you
2339s	have to As Long as You go into that
2342s	third place that you still get out here
2344s	yeah being qualified and not being
2346s	qualified are two like they're just
2348s	different they they can't be the same so
2351s	it does matter and for Philippines I
2354s	they I hope they do come up with
2356s	something that that can counter um the
2359s	Japanese aggression here yeah I think
2361s	Philippines uh it depends on the map
2363s	really oh Echo it can actually work uh
2366s	better if you think about some escort
2367s	map that you uh you can think of and
2370s	also also in push when we get when we
2373s	potentially get into push but certainly
2375s	it's not really work in that Lighthouse
2377s	at all and depending on the comp I think
2380s	Japan was just slightly more ready in
2381s	terms of Team comp and we did see some
2383s	uh pretty good moments of Reaper and
2386s	Winston diving in at the same time from
2388s	Philippines but Japan they were overall
2390s	ready for that time exactly it was like
2392s	oh come at us we're actually ready for
2394s	you like there was an anti-anti grenade
2397s	at the same time with the Winston dive
2399s	from Japan to the power level we could
2401s	see the difference here in the first map
2403s	uh but we'll see what happens in our
2405s	second map potentially I think we
2407s	because I think there are some
2409s	substitutions happening that's why we're
2411s	actually you're taking some more time
2412s	before we're going to jump into the
2414s	second map which I don't know what it is
2416s	exactly spell it I dare you I read it
2420s	but
2422s	I did see it on screen but I want to see
2425s	it pop it on our screen I'll I'll keep
2427s	that spoiler all right so it I'll also
2430s	I'll do this though it is an escort map
2433s	I'll give you that oh really it is then
2435s	I have no idea what it is okay never
2437s	mind but I do think it does make sense
2439s	uh depending on what was being shown in
2441s	the Philippines here it is Gibraltar so
2444s	this uh this to me feels like
2446s	Philippines wants to play the Winston
2448s	again and there's also a substitution
2451s	now that Chun and Lee is playing again
2453s	okay so apparently I hope that his
2456s	technical issues are fixed so this is
2459s	going to be the what the Philippines was
2462s	meant to start as they're starting five
2463s	so we'll see I I do still think that
2466s	they will run a Winston comp though yeah
2468s	winston-com I think it's still really
2470s	good Reaper I think uh was the right
2472s	choice because ksg's uh Winston was
2475s	actually pretty I think his G actually
2477s	overall even in Apex summer series from
2480s	contenders one of the best thing for
2482s	sure because this guy called KSG can
2485s	actually match your team and also a good
2487s	Winston always come back comes back to
2489s	you without dying and that was cages KSG
2493s	okay no substitutions on the Japanese
2495s	side it looks like okay there Japan is
2499s	going attack so it they might change
2502s	their composition while they're hovering
2504s	it but as you can see Philippines is
2508s	still going to run the same compositions
2510s	that they were trying to run
2512s	and I do think uh especially coming into
2515s	OverWatch too the back line the two
2517s	supports uh there's a lot of
2519s	responsibility uh that you do have to
2521s	take care of how depending on how strong
2524s	the back line is uh a lot of a lot of
2526s	fights actually we saw the importance of
2528s	the back line during the mid-season
2530s	so like this edgy Club it is going to be
2533s	very very important and oh okay I see a
2537s	okay I I was about to mention the
2539s	symmetra but there is the Tracer now and
2542s	both Echoes on the team Philippines has
2545s	the haunt us of maybe that one hit
2547s	potential might be able what they just
2550s	need to unlock Japan yeah looks like
2552s	he's gonna swap into something else okay
2555s	there is that Sombra there so again
2558s	uh Japan is going with that double
2559s	clinker yeah after checking out the
2561s	composition of uh Philippines
2564s	had a pretty good time in the last match
2567s	so okay buy some time make sure you have
2569s	your positions and make sure the
2571s	tracer's on bro you can actually rotate
2573s	go around still there's that Tracer
2574s	pushing the okay a little bit they got
2578s	through that bridge so that is a first
2580s	tweetups oh no silver actually took care
2583s	of both basically okay both DPS is down
2587s	for the side of Philippines they do have
2589s	to put you back if they want a chance
2590s	for that recontest that it looks like
2593s	they can and first first point is going
2595s	to Japan five and a half minutes on the
2598s	time bank for Japan and in Japan
2599s	actually leaving that Winston all the
2601s	way up to mess up with the respawn
2603s	they're pushing a little too far but
2606s	okay as long as you keep on getting the
2607s	kills I guess it's okay but Philippines
2609s	what do they actually have to do in this
2611s	case I mean I think Philippines does
2613s	need to kind of
2615s	agree on what their intent is right now
2618s	Philippines is being like hey do we want
2620s	to do the front Lane fight or do we want
2622s	to jump on the on their back line not
2625s	big I don't think uh the entirety of the
2628s	team is
2629s	just strong this could not be handled
2632s	well from Philippines I think they
2634s	really have to take care of the back
2635s	line first there was Yuki plus KSG
2637s	diving at the same time that leads into
2639s	three kills well Hanzo was up there but
2641s	not anymore
2643s	wow okay and that was I believe Japan
2646s	didn't even use a single alt here it was
2648s	a highway it was less it is we call this
2650s	a highway and
2652s	there is a EMP there and that pulse
2655s	takes out puckman and everyone on well
2658s	not everyone but okay now everyone on
2661s	the Philippines falls down and that is
2663s	early early point B this is Gibraltar
2667s	this is literally Highway all the way in
2670s	and this is the best because the other
2671s	few like Anna
2674s	they can actually push all the eagles
2676s	back and still support the
2678s	teams down again and they so it's
2682s	they're moving towards the final point
2683s	and Philippines is struggling to even
2685s	have their first ultimates online if
2687s	this is painful because buckled is
2689s	getting hacked all the time and that's
2690s	none of this time oh good sleep on the
2693s	wins in there
2695s	yeah we'll buy a lot of time and waste a
2697s	lot of that enamel time at the scene so
2699s	Wilson doesn't die uh Pogba still stays
2701s	alive for now but does that because dude
2705s	Japan's time to take the
2707s	um Nano Winston and KSG is doing a lot
2711s	of damage there Nico turning everyone
2714s	back to their spine this is gonna be a
2717s	free roll into the end they can barely
2721s	come out of the spawn this is a disaster
2723s	here's kimchi popping it so you don't
2724s	actually get to even come out from your
2727s	respawn and that's a full push with 447
2731s	score okay I need confirmation here is
2735s	this the biggest time bank for Gibraltar
2740s	I need to know let me let
2742s	it back to you after asking production
2745s	here
2746s	that was nasty
2748s	there's just uh it's not not as much
2751s	cover there's Hanzo but hanzo's risky if
2753s	you missed your shot it's not as good
2755s	so
2757s	that was part of the highlights
2759s	So Okay cooking credits to cookie for
2761s	doing a phenomenal job on the Sombra but
2763s	I do want to phrase Japan and their
2766s	coordination here because in that
2768s	highlight play KSG blocked all sorts of
2771s	healing with that bubble here and that's
2775s	the sort of coordination that
2777s	Philippines need if they want to run
2781s	okay let's see the conversation from
2784s	Japan
2785s	now as we flip sides as they're
2787s	defending
2788s	okay we are seeing I'm sorry to cut you
2791s	off that's okay we are seeing the
2793s	Cassidy here Cowboy Maybe
2796s	in hopes to kind of suppress the double
2800s	flankers you can literally just headshot
2802s	and get one DPS down easy if you can get
2805s	better
2805s	but the the thing is Japan is not
2809s	running a double thinker they are
2811s	running
2812s	go of course there isn't the person
2816s	or unavailable for that Echo however
2819s	I do think that it's not going to be as
2822s	effective as it was it should be against
2825s	the double clinkers they they Japan they
2827s	do check out the teams coming out oh
2830s	pretty hot still having a walk-on Tracer
2834s	does manage to survive and goes all the
2836s	way back
2837s	dangerous as there's not much cover if
2839s	you are alone in that angle
2842s	away from your double support line
2844s	okay so Philippines is moving to um
2849s	Japan is there then contest Cassidy is
2852s	down kiss you what a monster
2856s	like someone pulled it back into Zoo
2858s	What's Happening Here
2860s	Winston beautifully doesn't do that much
2862s	damage of course that's those with the
2863s	help of his teammate but still
2868s	he's Unleashed yeah so that's so
2871s	Philippines has the full reset I don't
2873s	know even what to say here for the
2875s	Philippines here because yes they're
2878s	running a good comp but now they're
2881s	trying to transition into the Genji
2883s	maybe in hopes to go for that back line
2885s	but again we've seen this in Ilias well
2889s	before they need to coordinate their
2891s	jumps really well Philippines is Sunday
2893s	being sent back to the response while
2895s	the while the two people players that
2898s	were diving got eliminated yeah because
2900s	of these Dives the the back line of
2903s	Philippines they just cannot support
2904s	they just cannot do the job their
2907s	support supposed to do as a support for
2909s	the backlog DPS line they cannot be
2911s	healed and also the Winston um
2918s	that's two foreign
2928s	well we were saying maybe with the trees
2930s	are slightly being different now with
2932s	the with the extra spread we're saying
2934s	maybe Nicole is not going to actually be
2936s	replacing uh play much Tracer but never
2939s	mind
2940s	um
2944s	it's making full value out of that
2947s	Tracer and also go see how that Echo is
2949s	insane oh still Genji's what's here well
2952s	not anymore and Philippines actually
2954s	rotated okay I think this was a better
2955s	rotation still going around to delete
2958s	some angles from Echo but Echo is
2960s	actually nearby instead not flying
2962s	towards a bridge okay now calm down look
2966s	I need to calm down a little bit me too
2967s	but Philippines now have their alts
2969s	online they will be having that
2971s	nanoblade soon Philippines have a choice
2974s	whether they want a nano the Winston or
2976s	the Genji for the blade I do think that
2979s	the blade will be The Logical toys here
2981s	however they do whatever they do they
2984s	need to make it so that they can
2985s	actually make a pick
2988s	that's making the picks and Philippine
2990s	is delayed yet again I thought this was
2993s	going to be the timing where Philippines
2994s	because there it just seems like they're
2996s	just Gathering holes uh if you have five
2999s	volts I think that's gonna be our best
3001s	chance to actually push this team of uh
3003s	Japanese players because they're killing
3005s	us left and right that's sometimes what
3007s	you have to do to get yourself started
3010s	started on this escort uh this is gonna
3013s	be really really tricky for the
3014s	Philippines now because because they
3016s	were delayed last turn now Japan has
3019s	ultimates of their own and Japan is
3022s	starting that aggression first again and
3023s	Nico with the first skills and the
3025s	second now 30 seconds Philippines have
3028s	to fall back again they have to not they
3031s	have to keep their ultimates because
3033s	they have they have to live to fight
3035s	another game I know I I know what's
3037s	gonna happen Okay okay let's pause for a
3039s	second okay we get to talk about this a
3040s	little more time okay Philippines they
3042s	took that long to actually get four alts
3045s	look at the the one play uh player that
3047s	we're missing did didn't enables
3049s	perfectly but because Japan was
3051s	dominating so much they were able to get
3054s	more odds in less time so they also have
3056s	four olds ready to load yeah so I think
3059s	that was the Philippines best uh window
3061s	to actually make things happen and even
3064s	with that it was a little bit difficult
3065s	because they had so little progress on
3068s	the payload that they had to win at
3070s	least one more fight in order to cap
3072s	point a and they needed that window so I
3075s	think maybe if the Genji blade was not a
3078s	was not a maybe even the Nano to the
3081s	Winston might have been a good chance
3083s	good chance but now since because well
3086s	all credit to Japan they had they made
3088s	the aggression first they knew that hey
3090s	this is actually Philippines opportunity
3092s	so we're gonna go in a little bit
3094s	earlier and deny that chance overall now
3096s	with that with just that Nano they not
3098s	only denied the push for the Philippines
3101s	now they have like you said chica they
3102s	have oats of their own now so they can
3104s	match the olds from Philippines it
3106s	depends and Philippines they do have to
3107s	to initiated you have to go aggressive
3109s	first and very likely because they have
3112s	less than I think 30 to 30 seconds now
3114s	and it's coming soon and Japan they know
3117s	it's coming it has to come they haven't
3118s	been using ultimate snap many times so
3120s	it has to be ready it has to come so
3122s	they will be ready and usually when you
3124s	talk about the old Advantage when you
3126s	are ready when you can counter better it
3128s	works slightly better especially uh
3130s	those like EMP oh it's not here right
3133s	now but uh if you can run out the run
3136s	out the ultimates of a counter and then
3138s	have your own right after that usually
3140s	works a lot better so I think team Japan
3142s	is actually going to be waiting for that
3144s	perfect time and counter again because
3147s	uh Philippines uh I think and in other
3150s	other ways they have to go one by one
3152s	really pinpoint on a single player first
3154s	and then
3157s	anything about the rest okay let's have
3160s	10 seconds left let's grab Winston or
3162s	the Tracer or Echo first and then move
3164s	on they have the Nano blade there we go
3167s	we were talking about why
3171s	okay still the backline
3176s	vehicle does take Genji down but these
3178s	Philippines does this is the best
3179s	opportunity Philippines ever had still
3181s	here but still no more kills happening
3183s	for Jeep in Japan Philippines they're
3185s	falling apart left and right of course
3186s	they're nearby the escort finally
3188s	there's redox but he's taken down and
3191s	that's gonna be time oh dear that is GG
3197s	for Japan I mean all good to Japan
3199s	because yes we did talk about the
3202s	struggles of the Philippines but Japan
3203s	is looking on fire right now
3206s	uh they're not on fire they're actually
3208s	standing on on lava they're standing on
3211s	lava with their feet and they can make
3213s	those plays because they're just that
3215s	good this is a huge power level gap
3218s	between the two teams and Japan that was
3221s	a showdown it was a showcase for them
3223s	yeah like for trampolines they did a
3226s	really good job this I think this was
3228s	the best moment for them in the entire
3230s	Series so far and
3232s	they uh they did manage to take out the
3234s	back line of Japan which is credit to
3237s	the nanoblade of the Genji but the rest
3240s	of the members I think it was a 4v3 and
3242s	Japan's a 3v4 on the side of Japan and
3245s	they still managed to come up on top and
3248s	wow what a team Japan is being right now
3251s	we I've been we've been casting APAC
3254s	contenders and we've been impressed by
3256s	viral so far they are looking even
3258s	better than what they were right now
3260s	they actually do look better in in the
3262s	live patch which we thought they were
3264s	really good because they were adjusting
3265s	perfectly to the previous patch which
3267s	was not the not the one before it was
3269s	actually two patches ago now we're on
3271s	that now that everyone's on the live pad
3273s	which I'm so so happy about still and oh
3276s	Japan they look very dominant that was
3279s	that could have couldn't have been
3280s	better I mean they could have had all
3282s	perfect Flawless hundred hundred to zero
3284s	but that was almost 100 to zero on the
3287s	first map also Gibraltar that was just
3288s	the perfect push so I can't really oh
3291s	there's nothing to be said about team
3293s	Japan but for Philippines because this
3294s	is not the only match they have to go
3296s	through they will be fighting all the
3297s	other teams this is a big round robin
3299s	here so I think there's a lot to take
3301s	from this match right yeah so both a
3303s	little bit to take for both teams I
3305s	think Philippines they did kind of have
3307s	their bright spots on towards the end of
3309s	the match so they just want to mental
3311s	reset they they say Okay Japan's a good
3314s	team we respect them ggs and we had some
3316s	good moments on them like the uh
3318s	nanoblade so do that and for Japan I
3321s	think a lot of teams will be scared of
3323s	Japan now yeah that's going to be the
3325s	thing because oh that's going to be very
3327s	hard because this is only the first
3328s	match out of the three that we have
3330s	today uh that was the first match uh
3332s	first win of the day uh going to team
3334s	Japan but next up we have two more
3336s	matches so don't go anywhere we'll be
3337s	we'll be right back
3340s	good

3857s	and welcome back everyone to APAC group
3859s	a of OverWatch World Cup qualifiers it's
3862s	G clef here and unknown and what did we
3865s	just watch in our first match team Japan
3867s	just destroying team Philippines that
3871s	was it basically right yeah exactly so I
3873s	think that was a I haven't been able to
3876s	check how how much like how big the time
3879s	bank was compared to other historic
3881s	records on Gibraltar however it was a
3884s	huge time bank I think did I don't think
3887s	the Japanese on the Japanese attack if
3889s	the cart ever stopped for Gibraltar and
3893s	also on Elias as well yes uh Philippines
3897s	did get a little bit of foothold on the
3899s	point but on on Lighthouse I believe
3902s	however it was a it was sheer domination
3905s	from Japan and credits to them they look
3908s	like they really they understand what
3910s	they need to do in order to win they
3911s	know their strengths and weaknesses of
3913s	the team and they know how to use full
3915s	effect of their strengths right yeah
3917s	sometimes it's uh through the open
3919s	trials all of these seems to those they
3922s	did go through the open Trials of their
3923s	own region so they did have a lot of
3926s	company experience but it wasn't on some
3929s	of them was like uh and it's been a
3931s	while it's been a while so some of them
3933s	might have could have been nervous on
3935s	the first day of the world cup so well
3938s	that's a lesson learned for Philippines
3939s	they might have to well do a lot of
3942s	feedback within the teammates and
3944s	hopefully work and can work better in
3946s	the in their next matches to come
3948s	because we're moving into our next match
3951s	the second match of the day it is going
3953s	to be Hong Kong versus Indonesia which
3956s	actually we have a lot of players from
3958s	again from the summer series APAC that
3960s	we just had especially from the Hong
3962s	Kong side because we have xiaolan and
3964s	mangojai from nguk r3k uh from Kraken
3969s	Esports and and crazy from oua so we do
3972s	have a lot you see a lot of familiar
3974s	names on the side of Hong Kong here we
3977s	see mango Jai a tournament well he has
3981s	been a lot he has been with the history
3983s	of the OverWatch World Cup I believe if
3985s	I'm not mistaken this is his third world
3988s	cup if not fourth if I'm not my second
3992s	super better and since 2017. 2017 and he
3997s	was actually in different teams but in
3999s	2018 and 2019 so I think you're right on
4002s	the third or is it fourth t23 is going
4005s	to be the fourth yes wow well they did
4008s	have some some roster change compared to
4010s	what they uh what they had in their open
4012s	trials but still they were undefeated in
4015s	their own region undefeated not even a
4017s	single map loss that is that's how good
4020s	they were that that's really really
4022s	important that's a good point G clef
4023s	because yes you can win a batch
4026s	dominantly but not even dropping a map
4028s	means that you are just mechanically and
4032s	tactically tactically better than of the
4034s	other teams in that region yeah which
4036s	actually means that they were just
4038s	totally dominant and I think this can
4040s	continue oh not likely going to see that
4043s	Widow very very unlikely but we we might
4046s	who knows and one of one of the points
4049s	for interest is that r3k is going to be
4051s	the only tank for Hong Kong and r3k
4054s	during his time in Kraken Esports was
4057s	that Flex support off tank oh no I'm
4060s	sorry off tank specialist so it's really
4063s	interesting to see how Hong Kong's
4065s	composition is going to look like I do
4068s	believe that r3k knows how to play some
4070s	of the main tank
4071s	um hero pools however it will he will be
4074s	more comfortable on the off tank
4076s	curables so we'll see how what kind of
4079s	composition Hong Kong is cooking right
4081s	now yep and their opponent is going to
4082s	be team Indonesia here uh proxy speed
4086s	Zekrom Chutney and shrimp will be the
4090s	starting roster and especially uh chunri
4092s	has been having uh one winning a few
4095s	Community tournament uh Regional
4097s	tournaments but that's about that's
4098s	about it and I was trying to dig a lot
4101s	more from the team but I just couldn't
4103s	search it yeah
4105s	um a lot of the people are just um High
4107s	ELO players from the server however that
4109s	still means that their mechanical is
4111s	very very good and like you mentioned
4113s	g-clav Chun Li has history of uh
4117s	OverWatch contenders into the sea uh
4120s	open tournament open door open huh so
4122s	we'll see how it finds out because this
4125s	tournament might be that little push
4128s	that they need to level up and be able
4131s	to compete with the bigger players yeah
4132s	of course and also Indonesia they have a
4134s	lot of a lot of teams in their open
4137s	trials and of course they were
4139s	undefeated but of course they dropped a
4141s	few maps of course including uh by in
4143s	the first round but it was the first
4144s	round so uh let's still keep that in
4146s	count so B Messi was a team name uh from
4149s	the open trials and they were pretty
4150s	dominant I saw all the scores and did
4153s	not get to seal the matches but still
4155s	from the region seems to be one of the
4158s	best Squad that you can come out with so
4160s	let's see how they can actually perform
4162s	and actually compete against uh Team
4164s	Hong Kong here here I think Hong Kong
4166s	will be the favorites here however we've
4169s	seen time and time over in the few days
4172s	of the OverWatch World Cup qualifiers
4173s	that upsets happen upsets happen and
4176s	that is what makes this Sports so great
4178s	so we'll definitely see whether
4180s	Indonesia whether if Indonesia can pull
4182s	out that upset or Hong Kong with their
4185s	experienced players on the pro scene can
4187s	be able to close this one out yeah it is
4189s	also the first day so we mentioned it
4191s	briefly for the first match and a lot of
4193s	these players a lot of these players
4195s	those that they do have experience and
4197s	especially competitive but some of them
4199s	actually not as much I'm talking a very
4202s	few amount of players because oftentimes
4203s	they do play a lot of competitive but on
4205s	the broadcast on the World Cup qualifier
4207s	level sometimes not so they might be
4210s	feeling a little bit different on this
4212s	online stage so we'll take a uh we'll
4214s	get to see and also I'm quite I do want
4218s	to see uh how the roster from Team Hong
4221s	Kong is actually going to turn out
4222s	because it's a combination of few
4223s	different teams together right there
4225s	were opponents just few weeks ago
4227s	exactly Kraken nguk
4229s	oua they all went against each other
4232s	um I do think that they know each other
4234s	really well because they've been playing
4235s	against each other so much and also on
4238s	composition on the comp they've been
4240s	meeting and playing against each other
4242s	for a lot so I so as a team like for as
4246s	much as team coherence I think there
4248s	won't be much of a problem but if there
4251s	are conflicting styles that might be an
4253s	issue for Hong Kong but my main issue
4256s	here is whether r3k will be able to pull
4259s	out some of the main hero pool main Tank
4260s	Hero pulls that is needed for playing
4264s	some of the maps here especially like
4265s	Gibraltar here like yes diva is a good
4267s	pick but mostly the Winston's gonna be
4269s	the go-to for this for that map it's
4273s	also very it's going to affect what Maps
4275s	Indonesia or Hong Kong is going to
4277s	select if they do lose that map one so a
4280s	lot of interesting things here also a
4282s	point a player of interest for me is
4284s	going to be xiaolan because shell Lance
4285s	Genji has been phenomenal in the
4288s	contenders yes and only yes when there
4291s	were Anna's on his side but without the
4293s	Anna I would say his CPS role was
4295s	actually roller coaster there are some
4297s	dips that he can actually go down to and
4299s	like die three times in a row without
4301s	having a blade but once he gets that
4303s	Nano blade on a certain mat like he
4305s	could he could pop off literally and
4307s	have an entire team wipe by himself yeah
4309s	I still remember I forgot which team it
4311s	was against but it was on King's draw it
4313s	was second point and his nanoblade was
4316s	that saving savior save your hero play
4319s	for his team and again shaolan has
4323s	proved that he can play a lot of good
4324s	Genji's although like you said um he
4327s	doesn't need support of his team but
4328s	mango Jai will be there with that
4330s	experience and his Mechanicals aren't
4332s	dying out so I think this is going to be
4336s	an interesting
4337s	um decision whether they do opt to play
4339s	the Genji because we haven't been I'll
4341s	be very blunt I haven't been impressed
4343s	with the with the engine in a pack yet
4345s	especially in the World Cup qualifiers
4346s	not today for sure so we'll definitely
4349s	see whether xiaolan will be able to
4351s	impress me with his Genji he also does
4353s	play a little bit of Chaser and the
4356s	variety the majority of Flex DPS uh hero
4359s	pools so I think Hong Kong will be in a
4362s	good spot again my main points are will
4366s	r3k be able to will or are they willing
4368s	to and will they be able to pull out
4371s	those main Tank Hero pulls and will
4372s	shaolan be able to pop off yeah he has
4374s	to he is the only tank on the team so on
4376s	the other side also uh Zekrom for
4378s	Indonesia will he actually because right
4381s	now we do see tank as like a supporting
4383s	role with the DPS but depending on how
4385s	well the tank does I think uh right now
4388s	I think the tank is basically the bridge
4389s	between the team between the DPS and the
4391s	supports because it's the only one
4393s	instead of the two now as Zekrom Zekrom
4397s	should be the bridge in between the
4399s	teams and depending on how balanced he
4401s	can be because uh right now we have seen
4403s	from Japan versus Philippines there was
4406s	a lot of disconnections in this joint
4407s	jointed moment from the Philippines the
4410s	reason why they were losing a lot of
4411s	their either the DPS or the back line it
4414s	was because of those dive comp and
4416s	sometimes if you just cannot handle that
4417s	you just lose the entire match just like
4419s	that one-sided so that has to be worked
4422s	on of course I'm sure they have watched
4424s	the first match yes uh like you said G
4426s	clef also I've mentioned this on the
4429s	team on team Philippines as well that
4432s	this all teams must have a common intent
4436s	so if they're going to jump if they're
4437s	going to run a rush if they're gonna go
4439s	with a dive comp that's totally fine as
4442s	long as you know the entire team knows
4445s	that you are going to jump either on the
4447s	back line or are you going to disturb
4448s	the healing or the support cut off the
4450s	healing from the back line to the tank
4453s	from the front line and take out the
4454s	front line first it has to be a
4456s	coordinated event and that's also the
4458s	same for Rush like if one if one person
4460s	decides to go in and the rest of the
4462s	team's like uh maybe like after I get my
4464s	alt and that's going to be a disaster
4465s	either way and
4468s	this is going to be the coordination
4470s	between the uh between the two teams are
4472s	going to be crucial and who's going to
4474s	win yeah let's see as we start our first
4476s	map in ilios
4480s	Indonesia let's see who will come out on
4482s	top 13 seconds before we open that door
4485s	and maybe the first chunk of Queen of
4487s	the day
4488s	so this is this used to be a widow map I
4492s	do you think the little Nerf is going to
4494s	affect greatly to this decision here
4498s	um Indonesia is going with the double
4499s	flankers on the one said this is the
4501s	classic dive composition so you need
4503s	absolutely Indonesian needs to be on the
4506s	same page on who are you going to dive
4508s	and Hong Kong is a little bit more of
4511s	the jokes meta but they do have like the
4514s	classic job so it's gonna be interesting
4516s	the Hong Kong composition is a little
4519s	bit uh better into the Winston comp so
4522s	and Zekrom going very low here and that
4525s	is the first kill for Hong Kong easy
4527s	slash through that Winston Charlie and
4529s	talk about his Genji let's see how well
4532s	he can actually play on this first okay
4535s	on Chrome slightly pushing them all the
4537s	way out Indonesia falling all the way
4539s	back you have to regroup now and that
4541s	will be the first cap for Hong Kong so
4544s	Hong Kong using their compositional
4547s	advantage to full effect here
4549s	and I think Indonesia needs to uh get
4552s	that EMP really really quickly and then
4554s	I'll try to do the I tried to pull the
4557s	trigger before Hong Kong does because
4558s	Hong Kong they will be happily going
4561s	with the Rampage or a dragon blade here
4563s	so it will be the neutral fights
4566s	basically on the side on the advantage
4568s	for Hong Kong so Indonesia needs to warm
4571s	up their Ultra really really quickly and
4573s	get that Ulta online and oh that was a
4576s	good chance they'll get a kill a
4578s	translator Chancellor locator kill for
4580s	Genji this fights their trade kills on
4584s	and off but Hong Kong is having the
4586s	number Advantage here but not for a long
4588s	year because Indonesia it's back credit
4591s	to the double flankers Here for a Good
4593s	Target acquisition if speed proxy is
4596s	still alive they were putting out the
4598s	most amount of damage Hong Kong after
4600s	taking out the back line of Indonesia
4602s	but certainly but besides now that
4605s	little flank were doing some work if it
4608s	didn't work twice in a row that could
4610s	have been very dangerous as Hong Kong
4612s	still uh they all already have 40 okay
4615s	Indonesia does have Advantage here
4617s	because they do have EMP and don't have
4620s	the sound barrier four four
4623s	get you down with that Blake down double
4626s	both dps's down on the side Hong Kong
4628s	Hong Kong needs to back out
4631s	and they're just pushing all the way and
4633s	we'll take care of the rest here as I
4636s	think Hong Kong they're pretty ready but
4638s	they ended up just saving the ultimate
4640s	instead okay Indonesia they're gonna use
4642s	their EMP very likely with something
4644s	else and Indonesia though they didn't
4646s	use the sound barriers they still have
4647s	the pulse bomb so I think they're still
4649s	not too bad in terms of old Usage Now
4652s	the turn is on to Hong Kong like you
4653s	said g-club because they do have the
4655s	they do have the Rampage they do have
4657s	the Dragon Blade and they also have the
4658s	sound barrier and Indonesia has the
4660s	Soundbar yes Charlie has this out there
4662s	but it can only cover for one alt here
4665s	and Charlie might be even down before
4667s	that siberium okay so the sound barrier
4670s	is down
4671s	the Rampage is still there Hong Kong
4690s	is still contested which means more
4693s	percentage to Indonesia this is good for
4695s	Indonesia because even if they lose this
4697s	fight they get a lot of percentage and
4699s	Hong Kong needs another fight win to
4701s	defend that and finally a flip to Hong
4704s	Kong that fight was a very long one as
4707s	they couldn't just uh find the DPS first
4710s	okay now this is going to be a very
4712s	interesting fight because Indonesia does
4714s	have the EMP Hong Kong does not have any
4717s	defensive measures however they do have
4718s	the overclock and the Rampage so if Hong
4721s	Kong wants to pull the trigger earlier
4723s	but Noah
4725s	pull the trigger earlier and now Hong
4727s	Kong has the back of again
4728s	they want to fight this though oh
4731s	Charlie and then also Soldier actually
4732s	survives
4734s	Yeah by having that overclock just
4735s	popping everything before he actually
4736s	goes down the Rampage is still available
4738s	but upper gate can only find the right
4740s	target right time still speed this
4744s	Tracer has been harassing Hong Kong team
4746s	Hong Kong so much
4748s	however it does not lead into any flips
4751s	so Hong Kong will be able to match the
4753s	percentage of Indonesia and now because
4756s	that was a really good play for that was
4758s	a really good overall clock play from
4760s	kurumi here because it looked like
4762s	Indonesia was having the upper hand
4764s	because the EMP was there quickly
4765s	however they had overclock was able to
4768s	take out multiple members of Indonesia
4770s	which is leading up to this overtime
4773s	here I think Hong Kong wins one simple
4774s	fighter that will be that will be ruins
4777s	going over to the side of Hong Kong they
4779s	lost two already and the old charges are
4782s	not even close Hong Kong it seems like
4783s	they're about to grab the very first
4786s	and where's proxies he's gotta find the
4789s	extra
4791s	okay I don't think there's gonna be
4793s	anyone to touch and ruins ghost is
4796s	inside of Hong Kong but g-clan this is a
4799s	more competitive series than match one
4800s	was certainly in Hong Kong it seems like
4803s	after taking some punches on their own
4805s	from Indonesia uh okay we can't really
4808s	take this lightly we actually have to
4810s	gather up and group up first because it
4812s	seems like Indonesia's DPS are actually
4815s	very strong flanking from side Hong Kong
4817s	actually uh like tilted their head for a
4820s	second and said okay we need to regroup
4821s	and think about this because Indonesia
4824s	actually really strong here I think this
4826s	is gonna be really interesting because
4828s	Hong Kong like you said it's not going
4830s	to be a walk in the park uh so they do
4833s	need to work on their old discipline and
4835s	use their positioning really well and
4837s	okay Hong Kong Arthur K is still going
4839s	with the Jungle Queen which is I think
4841s	uh was expensive oh that TP was a little
4844s	bit that was a new season okay it
4847s	doesn't matter well just gonna be a
4848s	slightly late to the point
4850s	uh okay still Hong Kong with that um
4854s	with a shout from the junker Queen still
4856s	got there a little bit faster so they
4858s	will still be able to keep that
4859s	positional advantage and will be on to
4862s	the point first Indonesia is going with
4864s	the classic Lighthouse comp with the Ash
4867s	and the echo so Indonesia wants to get
4871s	to that high ground and have have that
4873s	Echo fire very freely
4875s	and that's why Hong Kong's actually
4877s	staying in that control Zone not showing
4879s	themselves too much right next to the
4882s	wall and France is actually getting to a
4883s	Kill on the reaper first so that's a lot
4885s	of her damn it DPS reboot on Hong Kong
4887s	side keep it up
4890s	very low Indonesia and putting out all
4893s	sorts of DPS nearby look at the X look
4895s	at the buff to Echoes all charge here
4898s	already at 48 yes shallowance may is
4901s	also getting to that point but okay so
4904s	so no copy for this fight and I think
4906s	Indonesia has to back out and reset yep
4909s	Echo we'll be getting that old charge
4910s	real soon for the next fight when they
4913s	come back first of course Hong Kong
4915s	already having 33 because they got the
4917s	early point lead uh controlling this
4920s	point this is going to be a really
4921s	important fight for Indonesia here
4923s	because Hong Kong does have the blizzard
4925s	to deter any any entrance to the point
4929s	however they do Indonesia oh no
4933s	sniping speed 75 away but there is that
4937s	there's gonna be that res here blocked
4939s	uh the maywall locked Bob but blonde is
4943s	still on the point however both are
4945s	frozen Bob is taking out of the picture
4948s	so a lot of volts
4951s	and it looks like Hong Kong is taking
4954s	the lead for now yes r3k Falls so both
4958s	teams do not have a tank but but the
4961s	currently the point is on the side of
4963s	Hong Kong so if this fight gets extended
4965s	Hong Kong is the one who's gonna likely
4968s	be smiling here yeah that's Hong Kong he
4970s	still has all the sports backing off so
4972s	the control was still being hold by Hong
4975s	Kong Indonesia they need to come back of
4976s	course trip has been always
4979s	providing heels but the inside fight
4981s	matted so much
4983s	[Music]
4985s	good push Dorothy K so Hong Kong does
4989s	not have the uh the Rampage available
4991s	for that fight however 99 the ball is
4995s	there to touch but for how long is the
4997s	question Indonesia has to group up real
4999s	quick if they want if they don't want to
5000s	get 100 zeroed yeah they do have the
5003s	best blossoms ready to Goomy in the hill
5013s	it looks like this is gonna be it and
5016s	the map is going to the side of Hong
5018s	Kong yes Indonesia did put up a good
5020s	fight but in the end it is going to be
5022s	the match favorites that is going to
5024s	take map one and Hong Kong leave the
5026s	series 1-0 oh man another loss for Echo
5029s	actually on this map which is actually
5031s	uh actually going to be a big pattern
5033s	that we've been we are going to be
5035s	keeping up and again Hong Kong just uh
5037s	keeping everything under control and not
5039s	really leaving their ground actually
5041s	it's me I was actually pretty impressed
5044s	always using that wall to block debug
5046s	from coming in defend that much uh uh to
5050s	block that much damage out of the team
5052s	so that was really well handled by team
5053s	Hong Kong overall getting the first map
5055s	good read on well I think it was a good
5058s	read on the side of Hong Kong so they I
5061s	think they had an idea of what Indonesia
5063s	was going to play although they do have
5065s	some a little bit of a limitation on
5068s	what team Heroes they can play the
5070s	Jungle Queen comp was very very
5072s	effective in what Indonesia had to bring
5074s	and also like you mentioned G clef
5076s	shaolan was both not only Stellar on the
5079s	on the Genji like we've been seeing so
5081s	far on OverWatch contenders as May was
5084s	also really really effective like we've
5087s	also saw a single um
5089s	snipe shot onto the ash there which
5092s	which was really important because a lot
5094s	of the compositional advantages that
5096s	comes from the Indonesian side
5098s	especially on
5100s	Lighthouse was the ma was the Ash and
5103s	the echo so yeah which was crucial I
5106s	think because of that may uh Indonesia
5108s	they just could not really provide
5110s	enough damage plus uh the space to
5113s	actually go into the point because a lot
5114s	of their members the DPS plus Anna and
5117s	the both of the support right support
5118s	line they're actually up on the second
5120s	floor not really coming in with that
5122s	Diva as long as as long as Hong Kong
5124s	they took out that Diva they had no
5126s	chance of actually diving into that
5128s	point it was also there was a lot of
5130s	fights when both teams were missing
5132s	their tanks and it was a 4v4 and and
5135s	Hong Kong with that experienced DPS line
5139s	and I also want to give credit to Hong
5142s	Kong's backline as well I haven't seen
5144s	the back line of on the side of Hong
5146s	Kong fall down a lot of times I am of
5148s	course it wasn't on screen a lot of
5150s	times but that means not being on the
5152s	other side of the kill feed means that
5154s	they were are protecting each other
5155s	always being able to support their DPS
5158s	and tanks so I think credit to that and
5160s	Indonesia here kind of needs to work
5163s	they did quite well I do want to give
5165s	them credit and I think they've really
5167s	played well it's just that the score
5169s	doesn't honor those efforts however they
5171s	do need to find a way to access the back
5173s	line of Hong Kong if they want a chance
5174s	to win and also because of because of
5176s	that issue uh Hong Kong it was actually
5178s	easier for them to focus on one thing
5179s	like when there was Bob they literally
5181s	just threw down the blizzard okay no one
5183s	coming to the point let's take care of
5184s	Bob first and then we worry about the
5186s	diva and then the rest of the team and
5188s	that wasn't really that was really being
5189s	well handled by Hong Kong it was
5191s	actually easier because of less targets
5193s	to be uh you face with on the control
5195s	Point uh you can just pinpoint the shot
5198s	caller just calls for one and then
5199s	everyone just attacks at once you have
5201s	the entire team around that zone so
5204s	which I think Indonesia should have
5205s	changed in the middle unless unless it
5208s	was going to be incredibly hard to
5209s	actually dive in even with the diva and
5211s	the two dps's okay looking forward now
5214s	Indonesia has is going to be it's lovely
5217s	with a choice they do have selection
5219s	over map type and map selection I do
5224s	smell maybe I do suspect that Gibraltar
5226s	is also a viable choice because I know
5229s	that r3k although rtk is a very good
5231s	Winston as well uh they have not been
5234s	showing an r3k within the first map so
5237s	maybe Gibraltar because they know that
5240s	they can play Winston a little bit more
5241s	comfortably however I do think that the
5243s	drunker Queen is a good countermeasure
5245s	to Winston so maybe they have they're
5248s	kind of wearing their options here how
5249s	about a hybrid I mean uh for the similar
5252s	team come I think uh blizzard world or a
5255s	few other hybrid could actually be okay
5257s	for team Indonesia also
5260s	this is very viable so but for blizzard
5263s	rule I think r3k can cover a lot with
5265s	the diva so uh for me Indonesia will be
5268s	wanting to choose a map type and map
5271s	that they can kind of try to limit r3k's
5274s	influence because r3k has been Stellar
5277s	this map yeah for sure it's getting a
5279s	lot more supported from the supports
5282s	that literally they were stuck right
5283s	next to you and of course uh echo echo
5286s	Mercy on the other side it's really hard
5289s	to it's because they're actually playing
5290s	a different game compared to the other
5292s	three on the ground uh like Pharmacy
5295s	Echo Mercy they do have they do have
5297s	their own way of maneuvering and
5299s	oftentimes they can't even though
5300s	there's a shot calling from the captain
5302s	or the shock hauler you can't really be
5304s	there at the same time because you're
5306s	like in the air or off of the point
5308s	sometimes you're at the right place
5309s	sometimes you're not so it's very
5311s	conditional when you have that kind of
5313s	team comp so you do need to really match
5315s	and know exactly where teammates are to
5317s	make that Focus fire work but on the
5320s	other side Hong Kong when you have when
5322s	you can actually defend a tag into that
5324s	small choke point I think it was also
5326s	it's a lot easier which I think that
5328s	they're going to continue I think Genji
5330s	might not even be needed from Hong
5333s	Kong's side they can just continue to
5334s	play with May which actually had a
5336s	pretty significant balance change but I
5338s	don't think it matters too much right
5339s	now
5340s	yeah so a little bit more commenting
5343s	about the echo comp here Echo Ash which
5347s	was on Lighthouse I think the entire
5348s	point about Indonesia as composition was
5352s	that they take if they take the point
5354s	first if they cap the point first they
5356s	can deny a lot of entrance entry to the
5359s	point because Echo will be on the air
5363s	okay shooting a lot of uh shooting a lot
5365s	of things with that mercy and Ash would
5368s	be on the high ground and two things
5371s	went wrong there
5372s	um number one they didn't tap the point
5373s	first even though Hong Kong kind of
5375s	messed up that TP and number two
5378s	um Ash got a little bit out sniped by
5381s	Logan May so a little bit of a
5384s	confidence uh uh boost there for the May
5386s	so maybe they need to work out something
5389s	else compositional wise so yes Echo is
5393s	buffed but it's not going to be the
5394s	answer for everything yeah certainly not
5396s	as it's conditional also you need to
5398s	work with your the other team comp which
5400s	works with echo which actually is one of
5403s	the DPS that changes the entire team if
5406s	you want if you if you know what I'm
5407s	saying so I think that's something else
5409s	that you have to think about if you're
5410s	bringing Echo depending on the map of
5412s	course if it's practiced I think it
5414s	doesn't really matter sometimes it
5416s	doesn't really matter what the opponent
5417s	is uh uh actually bringing on the table
5420s	sometimes you just bring what you
5421s	practice that at some of these teams
5424s	level but we'll see we'll see actually
5425s	what uh happens in our Second Amendment
5428s	if we leave the second map has been
5430s	picked by Indonesia you are correct I'm
5434s	a God like I'm like I'm floating right
5436s	now so I I do have to make perfect
5438s	prediction okay
5440s	because Chad's looking at you so it's
5442s	going to be a blizzard World guys and I
5444s	predicted it is indeed going to be
5446s	blizzard world and this is to me and
5448s	then very interesting choice because I'm
5450s	hearing that there are no Subs on either
5451s	side so this means I do think that maybe
5456s	we can expect something like a diva or a
5458s	ramatra on the side of Hong Kong
5460s	Indonesia probably a Winston maybe if
5463s	they can play out a romantic Rush maybe
5466s	that as well I do think that they still
5468s	will opt to go with the Winston calm I
5470s	may be wrong but I'm not the coach so
5473s	maybe they may not hear me say this and
5474s	they're like okay I'm gonna I'm just
5476s	gonna scrap the Winston comp but yes no
5479s	way it's not gonna happen of course
5482s	there's uh there's a slight delay uh
5484s	slight delay in the broadcast of course
5486s	uh that's also another reason why but on
5488s	this little Winston seemed to be good so
5491s	just quite work with it and also bring a
5493s	Reaper just in case
5495s	that might be a little bit of a gamble
5498s	here because I'm hearing that Hong Kong
5500s	is going to be defense first oh defense
5502s	first so that means that you won't the
5506s	spot is going to be a little bit far
5507s	away and if they if you get to lose that
5510s	composition gamble you might be in a
5513s	really weird spot yeah I think that's
5515s	exactly what you have to think here as
5518s	you said oh wait Hong Kong's on defense
5520s	first right yes so Indonesia they have
5522s	to break the gates first uh first they
5524s	do have to get some cracks open and then
5528s	considering opening door or breaking the
5530s	door and just going in because it seems
5534s	like Hong Kong right now as even if they
5536s	uh there were some moments where they
5538s	actually lost their tank but still with
5540s	the support and the DPF they still won
5542s	the fight with 45 and if that keeps on
5545s	happening I mean Indonesia you're not
5547s	going to get too far away on this map so
5549s	first we talked about the composition a
5552s	lot and also the focus fire I think it
5553s	has to come together yeah especially if
5555s	they're going with the Winston dive comp
5557s	like I kind of
5559s	thought think they will go they need to
5562s	prioritize the target especially on the
5564s	back line and run towards them and jump
5567s	towards them yeah they have to be quick
5569s	and they have to have their maximum
5572s	amount of attempts to break into that
5575s	first point as that's going to be the
5577s	main point for Indonesia
5580s	[Music]
5581s	I don't think that's going to be real
5584s	though maybe for Cassidy Maybe
5587s	so Hong Kong's on defense so they should
5590s	be that what they're hovering should be
5592s	their final oh kumi's already here okay
5594s	yes so Cassidy I think is
5598s	I think the reasoning for Cassidy here
5599s	is on two things if Indonesia goes
5602s	double flankers maybe that's this is
5604s	going to be kind of like their test for
5606s	hey can Cassidy actually suppress the
5608s	double thinkers and also this is a map
5610s	that Indonesia can play play Flyers so I
5613s	think maybe that's a little bit of a uh
5617s	guarantee uh not guarantee but insurance
5620s	policy or uh the Flyers and I like this
5623s	from Indonesia double flank I think this
5625s	works so much better just like the very
5627s	first map that we had in ilios as proxy
5630s	speed now it's gonna be the actual test
5632s	because can Cassidy suppress the might
5636s	of double flankers here yeah that's
5637s	going to be the real test for kurumi
5640s	yeah actually back on Tracer attacking
5643s	few heel packs all the way back so Hong
5645s	Kong does not get to heal once they go
5647s	double plankers coming around
5650s	to get some damage of the bungle Jai and
5652s	here's the Winston here's the contest
5654s	for a high ground and there it is the
5657s	jump on the Hong Kong backline that is
5660s	exactly what Indonesian needed yes they
5662s	lose speed 75 but still this is this is
5665s	looking good on the side of Indonesia
5667s	because it means yes okay r3k is down so
5671s	this is a also a longer spawn distance
5673s	for the side of Hong Kong maybe they get
5676s	a tick or two here yeah by far and
5677s	notice the speed immediately went down
5679s	against Cassie that means that the
5681s	Tracer could not recall basically he's
5683s	not going to see the exact screen of
5685s	what happened I'm pretty sure that was
5686s	in Hong Kong losing a few more members
5689s	their horse back wait for the point
5690s	that's a second take they might just
5692s	give this one up or okay they're coming
5694s	in with when's the first shell down
5696s	again so this means that Hong Kong has
5700s	to fight with the member down r3k very
5703s	low okay that is first point for
5706s	Indonesia I'm impression see how much
5708s	better this is actually working for him
5710s	Asia the two proxies speed the two DPS
5713s	Duo it's breaking a lot here I thought
5716s	they're going to first okay make some
5718s	cracks and then have the door open but
5720s	they punch that door open immediately
5723s	from that first push and not only that
5726s	Foxy's already has the EMP and I don't
5730s	think Hong Kong has any defensive
5732s	measures maybe the rally comes online
5734s	but if Indonesia choose to uh do an
5737s	early aggression here I don't think Hong
5738s	Kong has any means of countering it
5745s	and immediately Cassidy down with that
5748s	Anna that back line will be having a lot
5750s	of trouble if this keeps on happening
5752s	because Cassidy is not a DPS that can be
5755s	away from the supports okay now kermi
5758s	walks away from the Cassidy so the
5760s	answer is no Cassidy is not able to
5762s	contain the double flankers at not yes
5766s	not yet at least and there is all r3k
5769s	they have messenger has to use the
5771s	battle just to keep r3k alive maybe they
5773s	can then connect this into a push
5775s	however I don't think they're in a good
5777s	position to do it Indonesia can just uh
5781s	just disengage and go go their turn now
5784s	yeah I'll Decay having a tough time uh
5786s	surviving at the Winston here uh gets
5790s	against all the squad of Indonesia the
5792s	DPS line seems to be between slightly
5794s	better although stick no kill from the
5796s	ball stop he said speed okay Charlie
5799s	with that sound Bearer for extra sustain
5802s	they will be wiping Hong Kong out of the
5804s	map r3k does have that Primal Rage if he
5808s	wants to survive another day but he
5810s	decides to keep it but will they be able
5813s	to contest I do think they might be able
5816s	to contest at the very end of point B
5818s	but this looks promising for Indonesia
5820s	here comes a real fight with Genji now
5821s	and the Jungle Queen
5828s	get down for Indonesia
5832s	Indonesia might want to back out and do
5834s	it again however okay not if they have
5837s	these many kills here
5839s	Jack ROM actually popping that rage they
5841s	want to get the second Point immediately
5843s	four minutes
5845s	four minutes for Indonesia to push all
5847s	the way Hong Kong certainly having a lot
5850s	of trouble dealing with this cop and
5852s	that stagger kill onto mango Jai will
5854s	mean that they will have a little bit of
5856s	more extra mileage there and proxy is
5859s	already with the EMP again and once
5862s	again Hong Kong does not have any
5864s	defensive measures all night
5866s	I'm actually quite impressed uh I was
5870s	saying I I like the team combo wouldn't
5872s	do issues after bringing on this map but
5875s	Hong Kong and they're having a very
5876s	tough time especially losing Reaper a
5878s	lot in the beginning of those fights
5879s	well now here's a response but I think
5882s	this is really the time for Indonesia to
5884s	just regroup a little bit okay Hong Kong
5887s	is stabilizing things a little bit
5888s	Indonesia making a good choice in my
5890s	opinion for moving away from the Winston
5893s	to match the jumper Queen because Hong
5897s	Kong invested a lot of compositional
5899s	changes for that is the five-man efb no
5904s	kills though
5905s	if no kills and rather epoxies fall here
5909s	yes they do make a kill on am crazy
5911s	however this looks like a fight going oh
5914s	no it's speed Tracer is out of this
5916s	world okay some response from r3k but
5919s	only the supports are alive and
5921s	challenging goes foul without having
5922s	that blade we've talked about this uh
5925s	ginty is can be incredible but without
5927s	Sienna without the Nano sometimes he can
5931s	be upside down okay what I'm so
5933s	impressed about Indonesia right now is
5935s	that not only can they do dive comps and
5937s	the Jungle Queen comp they're
5939s	they actually fixed a lot of the issues
5942s	that they were facing not one oh the
5947s	Genji
5948s	not making any value from that Dragon
5951s	Blade better than just uh turns out to
5953s	be here we go to Simon's Indonesia keeps
5955s	up watching yourself sound barrier
5956s	though and The Rush from Hong Kong
5958s	they're going to survive with those
5960s	holes
5961s	however Hong Kong used a lot of
5963s	resources that fight and although
5966s	Indonesia does not have any odds online
5969s	they will be having those earlier than
5971s	Hong Kong because they used three alts
5974s	just to stabilize the car right now yep
5976s	in Asia actually stopping a little bit
5979s	here's Reaper and now may coming from
5982s	proxy speed to DPS as they've been
5986s	working really well so far here along to
5988s	isolate
5989s	r3k does have that rampage this is a
5992s	good opportunity but they know that
5994s	Kelly has that they don't even need the
5996s	Rampage Hong Kong is back on their trash
5999s	right now so in Indonesia can they when
6002s	they can actually use that tree service
6004s	they have been doing it so well but
6006s	except for that
6007s	Hong Kong kind of seems like they can
6010s	actually handle most of the other team
6011s	comps that Indonesia is going to bring
6013s	of course that was without any ultimate
6016s	new song information side okay the time
6018s	bank is now at one minute so Indonesia
6022s	does have to make this one count they do
6025s	have a lot of ultimates already but
6027s	gently Falls without using the sound
6030s	barrier at least he gets the hole that
6032s	it wasn't an Ajax but shrimple doesn't
6034s	want to win this fight and Pops pop
6038s	stick to Teeny Rush there are a lot of
6040s	upcoming speed 75 with that blizzard
6042s	online r3k is winning for the perfect
6045s	chance to use that Rampage here it is on
6047s	three members their Channel Lee is there
6050s	for the rescue it is now it's turn it
6054s	looks like shellan is going to fall
6058s	on either side so it's going to be Hong
6061s	Kong winning on the upper side of things
6063s	again after a lot of balls yeah we'll
6066s	see because the r3k is still here oh
6069s	there's speed but you can't really push
6071s	when there's Compass as the rest of the
6073s	team Indonesia they will be coming back
6075s	from Spawn that was a good save on the
6078s	save of Indonesia because it's only 10
6080s	seconds left now and if that was going
6082s	to be uh speed falling it would have
6085s	been a disaster okay r3k down that is
6087s	okay that's the cheap there's a chance
6089s	for Indonesia to push all the way in
6091s	I think cam crazy might have to use the
6093s	sound barrier early because they have to
6095s	do you have to uh
6097s	[Music]
6098s	it is first and the baby are early on
6101s	okay good aggression from Hong Kong be
6104s	used
6104s	early and it looks like they're wiping
6107s	out Indonesia out and it looks like
6109s	overtime is going to burn out but good
6112s	push from Indonesia yeah all the way
6114s	until four meters out of the final Point
6119s	Indonesia they have school I think they
6122s	have literally achieved what they wanted
6123s	so far not a three-pointer but still a
6126s	two point and that far into the map I
6128s	think it's totally fine against Hong
6130s	Kong right now yeah I think Indonesia is
6132s	going to be really happy with that push
6134s	and they still have although yes Hong
6137s	Kong if they full cap they are going to
6138s	win this map however I I've seen
6142s	Indonesia being a lot a lot of the
6145s	improvements on the side of Indonesia on
6147s	their target acquisition and their way
6150s	of playing so now they're they know how
6152s	to access the backline of Hong Kong they
6154s	just have to execute it perfectly oh my
6155s	God uh Indonesia proxy speed these two
6158s	dps's they focused so well along with
6161s	Zekrom and Hong Kong there are a lot of
6163s	moments where that could not be handled
6165s	and that's going to be a problem when
6167s	you run into other teams like a team
6169s	Japan team Korea South Korea later on uh
6172s	not today but later on into the
6175s	qualifiers let's see how Hong Kong
6177s	actually wants to push this on their own
6180s	attack now
6184s	lukewarm compared to our first map here
6187s	yeah Shaolin had definitely had some
6189s	better moments here maybe here is that
6191s	moment where we mentioned hey bamboo
6193s	Jack can you play that on now for me
6195s	instead the kiriko but right now it
6197s	looks like it is going to be the kiriko
6199s	and Lucio
6201s	for shaolan just okay just no Nano
6206s	we don't even need Nano you're so good
6209s	that's a way of complimenting your team
6211s	and also doing what you want okay good
6213s	scouting here on the side of proxies
6215s	that you know what Hong Kong is going to
6217s	run and good
6219s	[Music]
6221s	for Michael Jackson they're all the
6223s	points oh good yeah he has been here on
6227s	the points as they did have Sombra on
6230s	the other side okay but the sports or
6232s	just
6233s	okay they were literally brought down
6235s	maybe the Jungle King got a step uh they
6237s	got the daggerated I literally blinked
6239s	and Hong Kong 2.8 they're they're angry
6242s	right now they are angry because they're
6244s	trying to prove that he doesn't need
6246s	Anna okay okay that's approved she only
6248s	got two kills
6251s	and that's the important part I think
6253s	it's still okay on the side of Indonesia
6255s	but Hong Kong is definitely gonna feel
6256s	good about this one
6257s	um
6259s	no compositional changes so far and it's
6262s	still the neutral game because the point
6264s	was taken so early that they don't
6265s	either yeah the highest numbers that we
6267s	can actually have is 47 48 now well
6270s	Indonesia
6272s	does this work do you think that's a
6275s	crown might need to move away from the
6276s	woods in here because it is the jumper
6278s	queen and the reaper so the double
6279s	shotgun is going to do a lot of damage
6281s	to this is everyone like here right now
6283s	and if you don't have a tank it's a
6285s	little bit it's gonna be a little
6286s	difficult to hold the payload and
6288s	especially with a five minute time bank
6292s	need those kind of holes yeah it works
6295s	uh when Indonesia was pushing but
6297s	instead of a story when you actually
6298s	have to hold and get a real team fight
6300s	around the payload years
6304s	better ninja once again
6307s	okay and so this is a little bit of this
6309s	uh stabilizing on the side of Indonesia
6312s	unless Hong Kong wants to pull the
6314s	trigger but they don't have any alts so
6316s	it looks like they are going to wait out
6317s	until they regroup and get those alts
6320s	online
6320s	yeah I'm gonna die and eat other here we
6323s	go ready with that Rush as shrimp will
6326s	only be four percent away okay early
6329s	aggression from manguja here will they
6331s	be able to profit damn crazy is going to
6334s	fall down and that is a four-man camping
6337s	poor man because the fifth man is
6340s	already down Mama speed is still alive
6342s	with very low HP and finally a little
6345s	Millie uh Charlene's going to get it but
6348s	that EMP was actually effective speed
6350s	was able to take care of few more yeah
6352s	but in the end uh Hong Kong did achieve
6355s	their objectives so Indonesia is not
6358s	gonna feel so happy about that however
6361s	so now the point is going to be about
6364s	the Genji the Genji has the dragonblade
6366s	r3k with the Rampage
6369s	John we've seen Charlie fall down even
6372s	if they have the baby not this time so
6375s	able
6376s	stiffly
6378s	Shield his teammates but not save Zekrom
6381s	from certain deaths angry
6384s	okay so this is a speed rule for Hong
6388s	Kong Indonesia not being not being able
6391s	to pull out the same heroics that they
6393s	were able to do on their attack Hong
6396s	Kong's backline is is still alive and up
6400s	and running yeah with the jungkooki in
6402s	the do you feel the difference is uh you
6404s	can't really dive in at the same time as
6405s	you have to Winston so that's why
6407s	Thumper is going to go attack a little
6409s	more here said that's awesome oh nothing
6411s	too much uh the fight was actually away
6414s	from this guy
6415s	yes shrimp does fall so it's only the
6418s	Lucio sustain which is not a lot let's
6420s	set Grom lives by a sliver and stops the
6425s	stops the payload as well still for now
6428s	but Hong Kong still has four minutes to
6430s	push he said a lot of this name called
6433s	speed but Tracer seems to be on someone
6437s	of another level when you're taking down
6439s	an opponent just coming out from nowhere
6441s	making sure you're still alive speeding
6443s	so much more than me here it is
6449s	Manuel hack into r3k means that it's
6452s	going to be a total reset for the side
6454s	levels
6456s	and Hong Kong the sukiotic they had no
6459s	clue that Chaser was behind them the
6461s	entire team okay I think this was a uh
6465s	fairly economic turn for Indonesia so
6468s	the pulse bomb was used the Rampage was
6469s	used Rampage is a big old however they
6471s	do have the EMP online and will be
6474s	having that sound barrier up again very
6476s	soon so Indonesia has a happy some
6479s	ingredients to make this all here
6487s	is actually helping out the team is
6491s	Source while healing
6494s	oh and that's one will you pop the blade
6497s	not yet as your teammates oh
6500s	that's the ground
6502s	just didn't want to get staggered and
6504s	just was staying on the point forcing
6506s	Indonesia hey take me out unless you
6508s	want the card if you want the card to go
6510s	back yeah there's still Stormbreaker
6512s	Foxy's hanging around Indonesia's kind
6515s	of used a little bit more than they
6516s	wanted here a little bit I think they
6518s	might have wanted to keep
6520s	that cool lessons however it was a fight
6522s	that they needed to win so it was a
6525s	necessity here here is the dragonblade
6527s	and that coalescence here which is gonna
6529s	do a lot of damage and Indonesia will
6534s	they okay two members of Indonesia is
6536s	still remaining will they be able to
6537s	touch and contest they have to call me
6540s	immediately but no alts available that's
6541s	the important thing as Hong Kong
6544s	what's that Rampage
6546s	Rampage is there only hits two however
6550s	it is
6552s	that might actually just do it in Hong
6555s	Kong
6556s	grab the second and actually
6559s	entire thing here at first or two and
6561s	Hong Kong wins our match the second
6563s	match of the day yeah they did have a
6565s	little bit of a scare on when Indonesia
6567s	was attacking on blizzard world and
6568s	Indonesia was really really if they had
6571s	some really bright moments especially on
6573s	blizzard world but also on Alias as well
6575s	however Hong Kong did show that hey we
6578s	have the professional players we have
6579s	players playing at the contender scene
6581s	we are the better team and they proved
6582s	so yeah I think the response of
6585s	responding to the enemy team com I think
6587s	Hong Kong had a slight Edge doing
6590s	slightly better in terms of response on
6592s	blizzard world and that sometimes it
6594s	actually comes out from the oftentimes
6596s	from the shot caller and also
6597s	individually but all experience oh it
6600s	does come in handy in these type of
6602s	moments and Indonesia though they looked
6604s	scary when they're on their own attack
6606s	just have to work on the other side I
6608s	think they had some weaknesses into in
6610s	terms of when they were on the other
6612s	side the defending side on blizzard
6614s	world but they're on when they're on on
6615s	offense man they couldn't get all three
6618s	points of course but still it seemed
6620s	pretty incredible with that Sombra
6622s	Tracer cop and if it works if it
6624s	continues to work just make it you can
6626s	actually find refine it to the maximum
6628s	point but right now on this patch ah it
6631s	doesn't work everywhere on the map
6633s	that's the thing so I think yes Street
6635s	Club it was a 2-0 it was a 2-0 not only
6638s	just on control but also the match score
6642s	was 2-0 as well but I don't think it did
6644s	Justice to how well Indonesia played
6646s	against Hong Kong
6648s	Hong Kong was great I I like Hong Kong
6651s	was the better team today but Indonesia
6653s	could like they showed us what they can
6656s	be when they're at their best and I
6658s	think they can still feel very confident
6660s	coming into the other matchups
6663s	uh well not just today but for the rest
6665s	of the qualifiers yeah because you do
6666s	have to remember we do have to play
6668s	every single team in the group and we
6670s	have six teams which means which makes
6671s	it five matches uh per team so that's
6674s	going to be it and I think this is
6676s	actually going to be this result between
6678s	Hong Kong and Indonesia might come to
6680s	bite Indonesia a lot because these two
6681s	teams I think they were really
6683s	competitive it might be actually one of
6685s	the deciding factors but of course today
6687s	we only got two matches
6689s	for now because we still have one more
6691s	mat a left and that is going to be South
6694s	Korea versus Chinese Taipei that's gonna
6696s	be the highlight match of the day I feel
6697s	but we'll take a short break before that
6699s	so don't go in here guys we'll be right
6701s	back

7243s	and welcome back everyone to APAC group
7246s	a so far it has been two two zeros
7249s	unfortunately but the third match that
7251s	we have they are on they're about to put
7254s	on some show because this matchup is
7257s	going to be a pretty big matchup of
7261s	course oh not exactly the opponent that
7264s	South Korea is actually going to be
7265s	fighting uh South Korea is going to be
7268s	versus Chinese Taipei yeah so Indonesia
7271s	yes they did put up a good fight against
7272s	Hong Kong so kind of like a credit to
7274s	them special props to them but look at
7277s	this South Korean roster do we have a
7280s	lot of Champions on this roster the
7283s	mid-season Madness Champions Fielder
7285s	Trio also the champions of the 2023 uh
7289s	mid-season Madness Fearless runner up
7291s	for the mid-season Madness and Sparkle
7294s	20 20
7296s	Grand Final Champion we have a lot of
7298s	Champions here a lot of trophies on this
7301s	roster for sure and I'm known I think a
7303s	lot of the viewers are also waiting for
7305s	this matchup today as
7307s	these oh this roster seems to be the
7310s	favorite not just in this group the
7312s	entire world cup to be honest yeah this
7315s	team is not just today's match favorites
7317s	but uh South Korea I mean even all the
7320s	Caster biases out this team is one of
7323s	the team favorites one of the favorites
7325s	to win the entire thing so this team
7327s	it's not uh it will be very interesting
7330s	to see how they play out what they play
7332s	and how could they are and will they
7334s	actually show
7336s	100 and how is the team work going to be
7340s	within this roster because of course
7342s	mechanically they're all proven they're
7344s	all proven already for years of how good
7347s	they are on stage in big stage
7349s	performances but
7351s	of course there are some opponents here
7353s	I'm within the rosters well yes I do
7355s	think but however
7357s	unturned team in terms of Team cohesion
7359s	I think it's going to be really really
7361s	okay
7362s	um not concerning at all because
7363s	lipfield shio
7365s	just played competitive matches together
7367s	aren't they mid-season Madness as the
7369s	Atlanta Reign literally a week ago yes
7371s	and I was there to scream no I always
7374s	saw scratch that five days ago not seven
7376s	okay and Sparkle and fearless also have
7379s	history together at the Dallas fuel so I
7383s	think in terms of Team Collision I think
7385s	this shouldn't be an issue for this team
7387s	however it looks what's what I'm
7389s	interesting
7390s	see interested to see is that what kind
7393s	of compositions will they be coming up
7395s	with lip is a Sombra God and Sparkle is
7399s	the Sparkle is good on a lot of things
7401s	like Tracer Genji especially the Genji
7404s	right and fearless I'll I'll be putting
7407s	this Fearless is currently the best ones
7409s	in the world you think so I do okay I do
7412s	agree in a lot of ways and on the other
7414s	side the Chinese Taipei a bubble Tracer
7416s	Oh cannot double Tracer in game so we'll
7418s	see uh snow hope Nexus uh Ray Momo and
7421s	Mao Lee so this roster they're up
7424s	against a mountain they're up against
7426s	the space the Galaxy of OverWatch I do
7430s	think that this team does have a lot of
7432s	competence in them because also this is
7435s	for people who know who've been
7437s	following APAC contenders this is the
7439s	old version of crack and Esports so
7442s	before our Dragon Esports revented a re
7444s	uh Vamp their roster this was a lot a
7448s	lot of these members are the former
7450s	Kraken Esports and they have experience
7453s	on the professional stage however the
7455s	question is will they be able to go
7458s	against OverWatch League
7460s	caliper opponents it's going to be
7463s	uphill climb and the climb that we're
7465s	talking about is a lot of slow very high
7468s	number slope but this uh team called
7471s	roll Momo from the open trials they
7473s	actually did one of the biggest uh
7475s	bracket that we have for the open trials
7477s	by the way from Chinese Taipei and they
7479s	did have a lucky pie in the upper
7481s	bracket but except for that they haven't
7483s	had pretty dominant bracket run out of a
7486s	lot of other teams so they should be
7488s	feeling okay but it's just that their
7490s	opponent seems to be one of the
7491s	strongest teams stronger teams not in
7493s	just the group the entire tournament uh
7495s	Bubble Watch World Cup yeah and here we
7498s	are at Elias again it looks like it's
7500s	going to be Elias all around for today
7502s	uh again Winston Winston is I think
7506s	gonna be a very favorite because
7507s	Fearless is in Fearless knows how to
7509s	play a lot of Heroes really really well
7512s	but I mean why not play the Winston if
7514s	it's ilios right and for I do suspect
7517s	that because lip and Sparkle are
7520s	starting it might look like a double
7522s	flanker here and shield Fielder
7526s	um break oh no why not
7529s	it's going to be a big test for for both
7532s	teams and I'm very interested to see
7535s	what South Korea is feeling right now on
7538s	the live patch what kind of team comp
7539s	are they actually going to pull first of
7541s	all are they really going to be putting
7543s	out like at least the 90 of their power
7546s	level and what the team comp they would
7548s	they think it's the best on each map and
7551s	Chinese type A has to just match up to
7554s	that level oh we do have expectation
7556s	that South Korea is going to be the big
7558s	favorite on this matchup about Chinese
7560s	fight is their first all of the day and
7563s	of the tournament so they have to show
7565s	something here
7566s	yeah especially because like we said
7569s	even map differentials may be very very
7572s	crucial in quality oh it's just for the
7573s	main event and to be honest taking a map
7577s	off South Korea might be something that
7580s	no other team may be able to do in this
7582s	group
7583s	mine actually be the realistic goal here
7586s	and
7587s	don't worry right no team's perfect no
7589s	team can be perfect sometimes you're
7591s	having a bad day sometimes you're having
7592s	a good day and so it gates open
7595s	here we go we do have okay after the
7598s	teleport okay Ash Tracer from South
7601s	Korea no Sombra from South Korea which
7604s	is kind of surprising given that lip is
7606s	so good on that Sombra however lip is
7609s	also very good at the ass so and already
7613s	putting up a lot of pressure on Nexus
7615s	here Nexus does jump back to safety and
7617s	get that heal so uh the Anna will be
7620s	Raymond will be having a little bit of a
7622s	more old charger yeah oh here on the
7624s	Sombra let's get that hat
7627s	on the belly there
7630s	Okay Nexus does
7632s	fall back
7634s	see you tomorrow however this is
7636s	actually a good sign Winston actually
7637s	keeping safe staying alive it's always a
7639s	better thing also it means that Raymond
7641s	can also charge uh Ronaldo really really
7645s	quickly and oh The Shield it's a hook so
7649s	the double finger the whole point of our
7651s	double flankers is about giving granting
7653s	pressure giving pressure to the
7655s	opposition back land however time and
7657s	time again the plan of the Atlanta Reign
7660s	backline Duo is proving that they can
7663s	survive any aggression against them not
7666s	career right now reading where
7668s	opponent's going to come from
7670s	and Here's Hope
7672s	okay the Saving Grace here the fourth
7674s	Chinese Taipei is that Raymond is
7676s	closing on to that Nano so the Nano
7678s	Winston will be available but no Sparkle
7682s	no that was dirty with sparkle and
7686s	Chinese Taipei has to back up and
7688s	regroup and we grew up and they are
7691s	actually Gathering some wall charges uh
7692s	Nano's almost there uh pulse them and
7696s	hope EMP is only halfway here so they do
7699s	need a lot of time but still the thing
7702s	is I'm thinking it's already 60 for
7705s	South Korea Nexus is already so so low
7707s	okay it's the ante is gone so they can
7710s	heal them now and it is going to be the
7713s	Nano Winston here will South gonna be
7715s	able to survive this Fielder does fall
7718s	which is a first and but does not be is
7721s	not able to access lip
7723s	and Chio also picks up a kill for
7725s	himself and Sparkle
7728s	firing oh wow it Molly actually pushes
7731s	uh Sparkle off the edge there I think
7734s	and you're just think oh I'm actually
7736s	using that dude
7738s	[Music]
7741s	what an outplay from Shield there and
7744s	well okay so the point was flipped a
7746s	little bit for the side of Taipei here
7748s	however South Korea does manage to flip
7751s	it back up and it is going to be final
7753s	fight territory for South Korea yes
7756s	let's be all fall over the walls and the
7760s	boards
7762s	okay
7764s	Geo has a good rally to save Fielder and
7768s	takes out a hole which means that it is
7771s	going to be a fight and the advantage of
7773s	South Korea
7776s	and it looks like the fight is going to
7779s	South Korea oh he immediately brought
7781s	down that Western has full HP before but
7785s	the focus fire from South Korea is just
7787s	outrageous and that's a team one and the
7790s	first control going to South Korea okay
7793s	not a hundred zero but it is a dominant
7797s	dominant display from Team Korea here
7799s	and dominant and clean at the same time
7803s	we could see the the place the focus
7806s	fire that South Korea wanted to have and
7808s	oftentimes they were already that was
7810s	placed to the back
7813s	perfect stick there
7817s	oh you should count on the kill feed so
7820s	we all know what happened here yeah that
7821s	is that is definitely a chill kill over
7824s	there but
7825s	um just coming back to South Korea it
7827s	was it was a great display from everyone
7829s	uh lip was really really good on the Ash
7832s	and sparkles good on the Tracer oh
7835s	Winston was also good the back line
7837s	almost never died I think the only death
7839s	from the back line was just that one
7841s	death from Fielder oh and here we go we
7843s	literally have uh the same Gamecock
7845s	coming out from both Tracer Echo will be
7848s	the dps's and everything else Winston
7850s	Anna and
7851s	so it's going to be an interesting Echo
7854s	dual from both sides no Ash on either
7858s	side so it's not gonna be the height
7860s	it's by the the fight for The High
7862s	Ground is not going outside
7864s	Sparkles smoking his opponent and a nice
7868s	knee yeah the Empire went into three on
7870s	the back line at the same time so I pay
7873s	again on a run the thing is even though
7876s	that amount of book of fire from South
7879s	Korea is coming down onto that Winston
7880s	Nexus has been surviving not too bad so
7884s	I think they have to consider themselves
7886s	uh going around the map display anymore
7889s	and tricot rotate South Korea but of
7892s	course uh South Korea is not going to be
7894s	really out rotated on this map as if it
7896s	is quite easy to read and what's
7899s	difficult for Chinese Taipei here is
7901s	that they need to find an opening on
7903s	like a certain point of the map because
7905s	South Korea is taking all the geographic
7908s	uh terrain advantages that they can get
7911s	and they have
7914s	again to Sparkle that was gonna be a
7917s	member deficit for them to the side of
7919s	Chinese Taipei snow is falling very low
7921s	I think he already used the recall okay
7924s	heal back up by the Stick of the snow
7927s	onto Tracer that's going to hurt
7931s	oh man that's like
7935s	handsome
7937s	I've lost words like onto a tracer that
7940s	takes a lot of bulls that's it that's
7942s	basically saying you are not a match for
7944s	me Jason versus Tracer try again okay
7947s	snow does you just throw the pulse bomb
7950s	elephant no deaths from South Korea yet
7952s	the Fielder is it is nanoing fearless so
7956s	South Korea wants to spawn Camp here
7970s	to keep everyone alive the South Korean
7972s	background is just refusing to fall and
7975s	Nexus Falls instead Molly has that rally
7979s	but will they be able to use it 88 on
7982s	the side of South Korea this is again
7984s	final fight territory for South Korea
7987s	that could have been the one chance for
7989s	Chinese Taipei but because they're so
7991s	far a spawn Camp so DPS in the back line
7993s	they're so far away from the control
7995s	point the rage monkey what's nearby but
7998s	the entire team was so far away from
8000s	each other Maui has to pop prop 99 oh no
8004s	I was about to save the rally but the
8006s	rally is gone no sustain Raymond Falls
8009s	Raymond doesn't fall yet but now they
8011s	fall asleep hope also don't have to do
8015s	it you know how to do it alone and it
8016s	has to bring a lot of efforts but hope
8019s	pounds only two remain from for the side
8022s	of Chinese the band they can't touch it
8024s	is going to be first man for South Korea
8027s	and when you said hope is down it
8029s	sounded like there's no hope anymore for
8033s	the Chinese Taipei wow that was the
8035s	first map and of course we were
8037s	expecting this much of a of a dominance
8039s	from South Korea and we've seen it as
8042s	a lot of 1v1 DPS wins for South Korea as
8046s	you that usually doesn't happen as much
8048s	but because you know the mechanically
8051s	that you are just outraging uh just out
8053s	dominant your you can now you can
8056s	basically just pin down your opponent it
8058s	happened multiple times and that's just
8060s	what it is sometimes yeah dominant
8062s	display from South Korea as expected but
8065s	um getting expectations and living up to
8067s	those expectations are two different
8069s	things so credit to South Korea I think
8071s	Chinese Taipei had a good plan but
8074s	they're just out executed by South Korea
8076s	so I just think that and on the side of
8079s	the Chinese Taipei I think they just
8080s	need to kind of work on their execution
8082s	and most importantly not get mental
8085s	boomed so I think that's going to be
8087s	most important going into this match
8089s	Chinese Taipei now has map type
8091s	selection and map selection so it's
8094s	going to be interesting to see what
8096s	Taipei Chinese Taipei has to come up
8098s	with that will be a rough rough it'll be
8102s	the harder this question that you will
8104s	have in your test uh you have this many
8107s	Maps uh the two modes and which one are
8109s	you actually going to choose so either
8111s	you just pick the best map on your own
8114s	or try to find one week one week map
8117s	from South Korea that is going to be the
8119s	big question and in this case well I
8122s	made one prediction last time but I'll
8123s	keep up
8124s	this time I'll actually give up and uh
8127s	let's go regardless of which map I think
8130s	it's going to be more of more of how
8133s	Chinese Taipei will be able to will be
8136s	able to bring down each members of South
8138s	Korea because so far they have been
8139s	doing uh not really being close to even
8142s	if they had the die count the type
8143s	didn't really turn out to have that many
8146s	kills instead they were forced to back
8147s	off immediately against South Korea so
8150s	and if they come up other they come up
8152s	with some cheesy plays or else I don't
8154s	think it's really going to be working at
8156s	all I agree
8157s	um for conventional I guess compositions
8160s	I think South Korea will be covering
8162s	almost everything and even though if
8164s	they do have a little bit of
8165s	unexpectedness coming into I think South
8168s	Korea does have the flexibility to kind
8170s	of
8171s	kind of react to that and still be a
8175s	little bit better but we'll see I do
8177s	think that if they want if Chinese type
8179s	A does want a little bit even a little
8181s	bit of a chance I think they need to
8183s	kind of surprise South Korea with
8184s	something
8185s	I don't want to be this brutal but Korea
8190s	if you look at if you look at the
8192s	substitution list for Korea they have
8194s	hanbin and they have Finn hey on the
8197s	bench I well that's if you want to uh
8204s	if you wanted even they have a hot pin
8207s	if you want a Zen or a double Flex they
8209s	have thin
8210s	so you can basically mix and match for
8212s	any map with this roster that's what uh
8216s	that's exactly another reason why this
8217s	roster is so strong of course oh for
8219s	Chinese taipe they do also have uh a
8222s	light they can actually you can actually
8223s	come back in as a DPS and tomato again
8226s	another uh really experienced player
8229s	actually uh from the Chinese Taipei side
8231s	so maybe we'll see a lot of
8233s	substitutions happening for the second
8235s	map because uh they also get to choose
8237s	the map so I believe Chinese State
8238s	payday should have a better idea of the
8240s	substitution and what they want to do in
8242s	the second map of their choice yeah and
8244s	to be honest I don't think Chinese
8245s	Taipei played badly like it's just like
8248s	again they had the right ideas they just
8250s	were outplayed by the immense talent
8253s	that South Korea had so I think it's
8255s	also really important that they that the
8257s	players that are playing right now
8259s	understand that they are playing one of
8261s	the best teams in the World Cup right
8263s	now yeah just in the qualifiers but
8264s	across all the regions and if they can
8267s	keep this up not I mean they can have
8268s	the experience for I mean they can also
8271s	drop a win we don't know anything yet so
8274s	they can as unlikely maybe very unlikely
8277s	we're talking like single digit maybe in
8280s	decimals like I I want to be honest
8281s	because I've seen the seen a lot of feed
8284s	from especially from the Korean fans
8286s	they're also saying this might be the
8288s	strongest South Korean team ever one of
8291s	one of these strongest if not the
8292s	strongest so that's going to be a very
8295s	tough Hill to climb for any other team
8298s	in group a exactly and although it's
8301s	open to a lot of debate on who's going
8302s	to be your best player slash favorite
8304s	player there's no denying that this
8306s	current team is full of talent and that
8310s	I don't I don't want Chinese Taipei to
8312s	be disheartened right now because
8313s	they're playing pretty well and like I
8315s	said even maybe dropping a map from
8317s	South Korea even if they do fall zero
8319s	two today their level of performance
8321s	right now is really really good so it
8323s	gives them a chance for them to try and
8327s	take that other qualifier Place yep and
8329s	I think with that first win South Korea
8331s	might actually just try a few more
8332s	things like out of the wild bring a
8334s	widow even if after even after that big
8338s	Nerf and bring some more Hanzo I think
8340s	that those are there are open to a lot
8343s	of other options they don't really have
8344s	to match or having the same matched echo
8347s	echo Tracer from both teams it was I
8349s	think we're going to be seeing that come
8351s	a lot in this tournament with the same
8353s	patch not just an ilios and a lot of
8356s	other Maps because I think Echo with the
8358s	with the duplicate uh the charge being
8361s	your the fact that you can actually
8363s	charge the ultimate so much so much
8364s	faster now that's going to boost a lot
8367s	of echo plays coming out from the teams
8369s	yeah I think this was the first time
8371s	that Echo was used as intended uh Echo
8374s	did have a rough time earlier today but
8377s	I think it was a little bit more of the
8379s	execution and the team environment
8381s	um around the echo I think this was one
8384s	of the games that even without the mercy
8385s	that the echo really thrived especially
8387s	against another Echo mirror and even
8390s	without other Echoes I think it would be
8392s	I think this is how if Echo ever revives
8395s	and because of the Buffs I think this is
8397s	like you're witnessing how it is used
8400s	and we are getting messages from the uh
8404s	from the production that we are having a
8406s	lot of substitutions coming oh that's
8408s	why we're taking some time before we go
8410s	into the next map and oh as I do see
8414s	some subs on both sides actually so we
8416s	might have to wait on that though so
8418s	slow light more but
8421s	Taipei I think they can take some time
8423s	to actually cool down a little bit okay
8425s	we knew that South Korea was going to be
8428s	very strong they're indeed very strong
8429s	mechanically teamwork wise the team comp
8432s	it was matched but the game we were not
8433s	matching at all so honestly I think
8435s	taking some feedbacks back so ever what
8437s	can we actually do and what can we get
8439s	out of this match I think that's going
8441s	to be the realistic like if I was the
8443s	coach I think that's something that we
8445s	will be talking within the team from
8446s	Chinese Taipei yeah like I said they're
8449s	not playing that bad and so I think the
8453s	most of the things is that hey what went
8454s	wrong is like like I said the idea isn't
8457s	wrong it's like what went wrong in an
8459s	execution point of view yeah and then
8461s	they can uh kind of do a little bit of
8464s	reviews here short reviews and I think
8466s	the most important thing for Chinese
8467s	Taipei is that they want to keep their
8469s	morale up and here is circuit Royale so
8472s	this is also a escort map and I we have
8475s	this is our first time casting circuit
8477s	Royale together yeah because uh it
8479s	wasn't here on the on the in the map for
8482s	the contenders but here it is as is it
8486s	was a pick from Chinese Taipei let's see
8488s	what kind of team contain we'll actually
8490s	actually be bringing
8492s	because certainly it's a map where you
8495s	can technically be stuck in that first
8498s	first few meters if you are yes if you
8501s	are a small town and also this is a
8503s	widow map I don't know how I don't yet
8506s	know how teams will react to the World
8508s	on Earth because this is a long range
8511s	straight map and if there's also some
8513s	High Ground natural high ground and
8515s	which which makes it a perfect spot for
8517s	widows to thrive uh with the wood owners
8520s	however I don't know how thing how teams
8522s	think about it as currently and this
8524s	kind of explains a lot for the
8527s	substitutions here we see humbin here
8529s	and also on the side of Chinese Taipei
8531s	we see tomato tomato and also light in
8535s	here as as we see from the UI de hambin
8540s	uh
8543s	here and on the other side we do have
8545s	snow going out and light the new DPS for
8548s	Chinese Taipei and also tomato instead
8551s	of Nexus
8552s	yeah so this is what we usually see on
8554s	escort Labs as well on both teams the
8557s	flex Tanks off tanks usually take over
8559s	with and to be honest right now the
8563s	typical pick for uh Striker Royale would
8566s	be that Sigma that we're seeing on the
8568s	side of Taipei however hanbin is going
8571s	to play on that signature junker queen
8574s	that that he is so famous on on the
8577s	Dallas fuel
8578s	oh oh Geo what just happened from like
8584s	you just
8586s	obliviated lights Widow I'll screen I
8590s	think they're they were trying to hide
8591s	some they were hiding somewhere and just
8593s	okay no more Widow light says and two so
8597s	their name immediately
8600s	okay Chinese Taipei is used it's kind of
8603s	uh but using a similar composition of
8605s	what you would usually see okay okay
8609s	and okay good kill on the pier this
8612s	means that the spawn spawn Camp will
8614s	probably end very very soon
8620s	[Music]
8624s	now here's hope with that Genji a lot
8628s	more okay Signs of Life for Chinese
8630s	Taipei so far and but the bright side
8633s	from South Korea is that humping is
8636s	already farming that Rampage up so Lip
8640s	lip was there was a good Anthony to live
8643s	and look fell first so they had the swan
8647s	Camp was about to end anyways but the
8649s	good side for South Korea is that they
8651s	have all the key alternates coming up
8653s	soon
8654s	GPS
8658s	on both sides the lib is going together
8661s	we had shot onto light that's gonna
8663s	Force training sideway all the way to
8665s	the back
8667s	yeah so I it's interesting to see that
8670s	how Gene oh what a strike through
8673s	multiple members I think
8675s	if that was I think 30 20 I'll charge
8679s	you in the signal strike so that was uh
8681s	wow Sparkle's doing wonders here and
8685s	interesting to see how both teams are
8686s	thinking of sojourn which is the
8689s	mid-range sniper as as is like a
8693s	substitution for the Widowmaker yeah
8696s	but before that here's the ramp the
8699s	Rampage countered very well by mali's
8701s	sound barrier so no casualties on the
8705s	side of time
8707s	now there's gonna be the sparkle Dragon
8710s	Blade and so who it's really interesting
8713s	to see which team is going to pull the
8715s	trigger first oh but Sparkle doesn't
8717s	even need the Dragon Blade hoop holster
8720s	Dragon Blade but will they be able to
8722s	make any kills out of it yeah but it's
8724s	without banana because remember went
8726s	down a little too fast Mark will
8727s	actually wanted to get that Anna early
8730s	on
8731s	at the down this doesn't happen the
8733s	fight's still here though oh tomato
8735s	pulled the annihilation but was taking
8738s	out very very quickly Fielder making
8742s	wonders value out of that rally here and
8746s	again Chinese Taipei not making a lot of
8749s	progress here
8750s	Aziz again
8753s	might actually be spawn camp now with
8755s	with the soldier from live
8760s	[Music]
8761s	okay lip is like scrap this I'm gonna
8764s	I'm gonna do my own healing and Sparkle
8767s	still has that Dragon Blade and Maui
8769s	does not have the sound barrier or any
8772s	defensive measures here so it's going to
8773s	be a challenge for Taipei to stay alive
8777s	they're all all to the side of the
8779s	corner as a blade available
8781s	and sound barrier this is not a tomato
8783s	Sparkle doesn't even need
8786s	Genji
8793s	light falling very low has to reduce the
8795s	spine
8798s	okay g-clap okay nine seconds yes nine
8801s	seconds left
8803s	you know these
8805s	oldies
8806s	and that is the blade killing nobody
8810s	okay two people but wow the Ajax
8814s	God
8816s	oh gosh you guys should see our faces
8819s	right now oh my God
8823s	how many meters
8825s	62. that's something they need it they
8828s	don't yeah it's parked in the corner not
8830s	even a single block but
8832s	okay that was it as it see what it
8836s	seemed like Chinese Taipei it could have
8838s	been a longer push for sure but the
8841s	later fights after losing their dps's
8844s	got some support
8846s	uh
8848s	that's not enough not enough floor it's
8850s	not enough wonders I think yeah South
8852s	Korea was using their ultimate I mean it
8855s	looked like they were having fun but in
8857s	if you look at it very carefully they
8859s	were using their ultimates very with
8862s	very very high discipline they were only
8864s	using the oats that they needed Sparkle
8866s	have that dragon blade for ages and
8868s	still didn't use it because he didn't
8870s	need it to and those kind of discipline
8873s	those kind of old discipline is what you
8875s	need even though if you're in a winning
8876s	match anything can happen so like credit
8879s	to Sparkle and team South Korea and them
8882s	we forgot to mention about life Weaver
8885s	Buffs it was a gigantic buff on life
8889s	Weaver it might happen
8898s	okay but live with the Genji
8901s	okay
8902s	okay
8904s	zarya Sparkles here
8907s	yeah that distance
8909s	actually more far away Chinese Taipei
8912s	playing a very risky game here because
8914s	they know that they're trying to spawn
8916s	camp but they if
8918s	but if they fall here they don't they
8922s	don't have a lot of chances to defend
8923s	the payload
8926s	it's gonna trigger a fight here flip
8930s	two smashy survives okay Liv gets taken
8933s	down have I ever seen have I ever been
8936s	like kimchi before
8939s	his first time not quite sure if I feel
8942s	or still stay of course they're still in
8944s	respawn but okay this spawn Camp is
8946s	actually kind of quirky Chinese taipe
8949s	and the annihilate no no the coalescence
8952s	is online so they can use that
8955s	which is okay right now here's the
8958s	gravity
8960s	the Dual following up damage might see a
8962s	tree coming out soon there it is
8966s	oh wow this is sheer violence from the
8970s	uh from the side of South Korea here yes
8972s	Chinese Taipei did kind of stall them
8975s	for about like a minute and a half but
8977s	in the end with that hop in graviton
8979s	Search and the outstanding damage output
8983s	from all the members of South Korea
8985s	actually even the support players
8987s	they managed to break out the barricade
8990s	and 40 meters out leaving less than 20
8993s	meters now for South Korea Tennessee
8994s	they're in position let's turn the
8997s	corner this is going to be the final
8999s	fight F Chinese type A lose all the
9001s	women
9010s	South Korea grabs their first win in the
9014s	qualifiers with a dominant performance
9017s	2-0 score
9018s	well what I mean I I think they were
9021s	having a little bit of fun I I have to
9024s	check lip I don't think lip has ever
9026s	played Genji on a competitive match but
9028s	for at least not on the Atlanta Reign to
9030s	my recent memory but still they do me
9033s	they do me and able to work because of
9037s	good positioning and ult usage oh
9040s	a lot of compliments for this team as
9043s	just on paper we could kind of tell and
9046s	a lot of you if you watch if you have
9049s	watched over league and what just
9050s	happened last week Mrs Madness a lot of
9053s	these names were playing in that big
9054s	stage and it actually amazing that
9057s	trophy too so you could tell that this
9060s	was going to be the dominant team and
9062s	not to see the two maps of South Korea
9065s	so far yeah a lot again a lot of talent
9068s	expected from this talented lineup here
9070s	we have a lot of not just OverWatch
9073s	League talent but top top OverWatch
9076s	League Talent here and well yes credit
9080s	to Chinese Taipei to try to make
9081s	something happen yes they did that uh
9084s	initial spawn Camp did kind of work out
9087s	a little bit because they did stall a
9088s	minute and a half from South Korea
9089s	however it wasn't enough but I still
9092s	think Chinese Taipei can keep their
9093s	heads up yeah because this is not going
9095s	to be the only match that they will play
9097s	in the group as we have the match result
9099s	of the day day number one from Apex
9101s	group a we did have group a and Group B
9104s	so it's a different group with different
9106s	countries representing uh match one
9108s	going to Japan two zero oh surprisingly
9110s	we do did have all two zeros today uh
9113s	but we'll have a lot more matches a lot
9115s	more plays from all of these teams that
9118s	you have seen so far and let's see if
9121s	the teams that actually lost O2 let's
9123s	see if they can actually bounce back in
9124s	the group yeah it's also going to be
9126s	really interesting to see right now
9128s	because right now all the favorites all
9131s	the pre-match favorites are winning and
9134s	I do think that it's going what's going
9136s	to be more interesting is that when the
9138s	winner meets the winners and the loser
9140s	meets losers it's going to be a really
9142s	yes I that will eventually happen yes
9145s	and it's I will call it interesting
9149s	and well like you said G clef it is very
9153s	important to see how the winning teams
9155s	kind of even kind of find a way to see
9158s	hey how are we going to press on this
9159s	strengths that we've been showing and if
9162s	there are a little bit of weaknesses
9164s	that we've been showing with displaying
9165s	how are we going to cover up that
9166s	because teams like Japan and South Korea
9169s	are going to bite you at any weakness
9172s	that they have they will at that level
9175s	he show any type of weak play they will
9178s	dominate and crunch on your weaknesses
9181s	and there's the updated standings after
9183s	the result of the first day Hong Kong
9185s	Japan South Korea tied with one win and
9188s	the map differential the plus minus that
9190s	on the right that's what something that
9192s	you should be looking out for because
9193s	that's the map differential
9195s	yes and also I don't think that the
9198s	standards right now is going to be like
9200s	terribly important at this stage of the
9201s	tournament uh they will this group is
9204s	still up for grabs however after seeing
9207s	one day of the qualifiers which isn't a
9209s	much so don't hold me too accountable
9211s	for this but I do think that South Korea
9213s	Japan is going to be the clear favorites
9216s	for qualifying and Hong Kong looks
9218s	really really nice so far so maybe Hong
9220s	Kong might clinch that third place
9222s	however I do think that that third
9224s	qualifying place is still up for grabs
9226s	yeah and then on screen this is next
9228s	schedule for APAC group a of course
9231s	there are going to be other regions
9233s	happening in just a couple of hours
9234s	actually so you don't actually even if
9238s	the stream ends you can actually just
9239s	keep this up and it'll be automatically
9241s	on in couple of hours the skin foreign
9245s	you never have to leave the channel it's
9248s	your dream come true in real life but
9251s	for our next schedule for tomorrow which
9253s	will be starting at the same time for 6
9254s	PM kst starting with Hong Kong versus
9256s	Philippines and then the second match
9258s	Chinese Taipei versus Japan oh I'm
9261s	looking forward to these matches yeah
9264s	Hong Kong versus Philippines I think
9266s	Hong Kong Hong Kong will be kind of
9268s	favorites coming into this about uh to
9270s	that matchup and Japan also uh going to
9273s	be favorites for that match against
9274s	Chinese snap pay however both teams have
9277s	shown that they can do a little bit they
9280s	can they have a lot more to show oh yes
9282s	oh no what a first day all two zeros but
9285s	they're filled with a lot of stories a
9287s	lot of players you got to see some of
9289s	their highlights uh some of the good
9290s	good moments the bad moments what'd you
9292s	feel about first day overall uh this is
9295s	well to me honestly personally this is a
9297s	dream come true because I this is a
9300s	little bit personal so but uh okay what
9302s	are you gonna say now you're making me
9303s	worried I started I started my career
9308s	after watching the World Cup in 2018.
9311s	okay so being on this stage being on
9314s	this stage uh cat actually being able to
9316s	cast here although I do have a lot to go
9320s	I do have a lot to learn it still feels
9322s	special for me and the matches today
9324s	were really really
9326s	special yep and special but uh don't
9330s	mean to cut you off there no no okay so
9332s	yeah just for me too actually being on
9334s	on the World Cup qualifier it's an honor
9336s	for me and we're actually floating in
9339s	the sky right now casting at the same
9340s	time so that's a hard top for us and
9344s	because uh two zeros a lot of two zeros
9346s	did happen today but it's only the
9348s	beginning it's first day of six days of
9351s	APAC group a and it's only it's also a
9354s	portion of the all four regions that is
9358s	going to be happening for two weeks two
9360s	weeks of qualifiers so it's going to be
9363s	packed OverWatch for another two weeks
9365s	and you can enjoy the entire thing just
9367s	have come at this Channel at any time
9369s	and most likely it's going to be on with
9371s	some teams yeah I mean like we've
9373s	mentioned during the start of the cache
9375s	other regions with their wonderful
9378s	casters and wonderful teams as well will
9380s	be on and a lot of OverWatch they played
9384s	and again since like you mentioned G
9387s	clef this is only the first day so
9389s	there's going to be a lot of adjustments
9391s	adaptations and it's going to get more
9393s	even more fun yeah and for us that's
9395s	going to be that's going to be it thank
9397s	you unknown and this was true clef and
