1008s	will make it all the way to the finals
1010s	for a chance for gold and the big bag
1014s	that's right and you can still
1015s	contribute to said bag if we had 750,000
1019s	actually everyone gets access to 16
1021s	weapon charms for all of our teams that
1023s	qualify to the group stages I love
1025s	weapon charms so uh yeah keep it coming
1028s	keep on added all 43 teams will get a
1031s	share of the overall price pool as well
1033s	love the tri founding there and I love
1035s	the teams we have in our bracket intense
1039s	quarterfinal matches have concluded
1041s	yesterday and now we are in the
1044s	semifinal stage of things but honestly
1047s	these are in the world yeah any and like
1050s	we said yesterday any of these four
1051s	could win true and we know we know they
1054s	can play close like each and every one
1056s	of those teams have played so very
1058s	competitive and they all look so very
1060s	clean like especially if we're looking
1062s	at Finland and KSA I mean yeah Finland
1065s	dropped that one match in the group
1066s	stage against South Korea but every
1069s	other thing they played was business
1072s	straight like they they came to perform
1073s	didn't break his sweat it was just like
1074s	another day in the office KSA has been
1077s	so dominant they've been dominant in
1078s	contenders they continue their role
1080s	right here on the ore World Cup stage
1083s	what's what's their secret here Johnny
1085s	what what's their biggest strength you
1087s	see on both of those rosters I mean I've
1088s	been quite surprised actually by how
1090s	well Saudi Arabia is actually playing
1092s	this Sigma composition because you know
1093s	throughout the entire year we talk about
1095s	like oh they for compositions they're
1097s	this like unique team and European
1098s	contenders right but they've been rock
1100s	solid uh on this Sigma composition and
1102s	course has been a stand out hitan player
1104s	as well but it's been the sigma players
1106s	to me who's really stood out we have two
1109s	former OverWatch league players on here
1111s	you know KSA had a stand on the
1113s	Vancouver Titans for example and also
1115s	you got besta right who spent some time
1117s	on the Vegas Eternal in 2022 when he
1119s	participated in that tournament right so
1120s	these two Sigma players has been really
1122s	solid for both their teams and it's
1125s	another one of these things where like
1126s	we we go we have the World Cup
1127s	Tournament and we get to see some of
1129s	these players that we don't really get
1130s	to see in tier one over Sports they come
1132s	out there they play their aame and
1133s	really introduce themselves to the m so
1136s	I'm looking out for both of these tank
1137s	players also a bit of you know you know
1140s	a Revenge match here because most
1142s	recently in European contenders you had
1145s	vasta on his team lose in a best of
1148s	seven against Twisted Minds that
1150s	obviously featured KSA of course so
1153s	there there's a bit of a European
1154s	contenders rivalry here between two
1156s	really solid teams on this Sigma matchup
1158s	it it's been great to see two of these
1160s	teams who I think are like the most
1161s	unknown with the most players from
1163s	contenders or even players like just
1165s	making their name here at the OverWatch
1167s	World Cup these are the two teams that
1168s	are most committed to locking in what we
1170s	call the meta right now with this Sigma
1172s	Rush style it's been the team from China
1174s	and a team from South Korea that have
1175s	been more off meta more playing their
1177s	own looks trying to make their own style
1179s	work which I think it still can but you
1181s	know what a surprise to see these sort
1183s	of underdogs come in and dominate
1185s	established names playing dominant
1187s	strategies taking the mirror match with
1189s	confidence so for me I think any of the
1191s	four teams can win it's going to really
1193s	come down to whose vision of the game is
1195s	correct who has the right read on the
1197s	meta and then there's that that X Factor
1199s	of who pops off in the Moment On Stage
1202s	honestly especially looking at the team
1203s	from China's comps it's like
1205s	strategically I think there might be
1207s	better options but when you're on that
1209s	level playing so aggressive it feels
1211s	like nothing can stop you sometimes
1213s	let's actually talk about the team from
1215s	China because quite frankly I mean we
1217s	know there is a stack roster front to
1219s	back and and up and down but really what
1222s	you will have your eyes on here it's got
1224s	to be the DPS R of shy and leave there
1226s	have been lights out yeah look when it
1228s	comes to the world cup we're always like
1229s	oh you know South Korea they're so
1231s	stacked you know they got the best
1232s	players from South Korea you know
1235s	they're so good but honestly I think
1237s	that the team from China has the best
1239s	damage you in the tournament look leave
1241s	and Shai they complement each other so
1243s	well obviously they have tons of
1244s	experience playing with each other but
1245s	individually like they just stand out
1247s	leave obviously being a former OverWatch
1249s	League MVP champion in 2021 and Shai one
1252s	of the best hit scan in in the game if
1254s	not the best hit scan like they're so
1255s	good right and so the fact that they
1257s	have these different kind of hero pools
1259s	where leave is a flex player and Shai
1261s	can like lean on this hit scan and
1263s	they're both like world class on their
1265s	respective Heroes and they have this
1267s	pre-build Synergy from playing it with
1268s	each other the entire season right this
1270s	is an incredible damage Duo and I
1272s	honestly think as much as South Korea
1274s	they have lip on their side I think that
1277s	Chey and Le is the better Duo between
1279s	these two teams and it's going to be
1280s	critical that both of these players
1282s	perform if the team from China wants to
1284s	beat out South Korea today Le's
1286s	performance against the USA was
1288s	ridiculous ous I mean multiple 3v5
1290s	clutches and then shy on the soldier 76
1292s	I wouldn't say it's the hero he's known
1293s	for but he's been putting up huge
1295s	numbers and being just such a consistent
1297s	Force he never gets picked off he's
1299s	never dying first even against snipers
1301s	so very difficult damage to it to go up
1303s	against but Johnny I will say if there
1305s	are players who can handle that level of
1307s	aggression that level of damage output
1310s	it's got to be the support Duo from Team
1312s	South Korea I mean Fielder and shio they
1314s	played together for years their Synergy
1316s	is unquestionable unmatched and when
1318s	when these guys go to an onor break
1320s	composition I mean there's been moments
1321s	in the OverWatch League they just look
1323s	Unstoppable unkillable you cannot touch
1325s	them and so I think honestly Fielder a
1328s	support support you know I think a lot
1330s	of supports in the OverWatch League
1331s	they're known for how much they like
1333s	defy the rules and put out incredible
1334s	damage Fielder still hangs with the best
1337s	when it comes to that but he's really
1339s	focused on enabling his team being in
1341s	the right place at the right time with
1343s	that consistency that the rest of his
1345s	team can rely on so I think you know
1347s	leave especially is going to have his
1349s	work cut out for him he's going to be
1350s	playing these Genji these eeko and the
1352s	dicoms he's got to get on top of Chio
1354s	and Fielder and I think there's really
1355s	no better support combo in the world
1357s	when it comes to surviving these Dives
1359s	giio I think is crucial to that as well
1361s	right while fielders doing so much for
1363s	the team enabling everybody else Chio
1365s	keeps Fielder alive and honestly is the
1367s	more aggressive of the two Chio on this
1369s	main sport really aggressive player in
1371s	the on the brg in the dive composition
1373s	mirror which I expect to see in this
1375s	first match Chio is going to get in
1377s	there he's going to mix it up with the
1379s	front line and find his own kill so yes
1381s	as scary as leave is when he brings out
1383s	stuff like Genji and Ekko I think Chio
1385s	on the brg is going to find Windows to
1387s	punish especially if it's a tracer or a
1389s	Genji hero that can't avoid Brig as
1391s	easily leave he's going to have to win
1392s	that 1 V one at times and giio I think
1395s	can put up a very tough test for him I
1397s	think for me uh Team Korea one of their
1399s	biggest advantage against team from
1401s	China is that they are flexible they
1403s	could play a lot of different coms
1404s	they're good at dive and we've seen how
1406s	dangerous Hing could be on that Sigma
1408s	and they've been using a lot of
1410s	different comps you know namely in the
1411s	group stages we saw H play that Diva and
1414s	there was Sombra and Tracer right uh El
1419s	you see where I'm going with this listen
1422s	guys it's of course that competition was
1424s	for fun but here's the thing you know if
1427s	you have players like like team South
1429s	Korea who are just Superstars so good at
1431s	the game and sure it might look like a
1433s	meme comp but yesterday when I talked to
1435s	lip even lip said that this is actually
1438s	a viable comp because all of these
1440s	heroes are their best best heroes that
1443s	they have been playing for so long for a
1445s	very long time so given the right
1446s	situation maybe the map as well you know
1449s	lip was the one who told me you know
1451s	there is a chance that they could pull
1453s	this out one more time uh in their match
1455s	against a team from China are we going
1456s	to see it honestly for me sure it would
1460s	be it would be very fun but at the same
1461s	time unlikely but there is a chance
1463s	that's from lip everybody uh even if we
1466s	don't see Team South Korea play the
1467s	K-pop comption you know we'll get to see
1469s	it tonight the Sim is doing their uh you
1472s	know their concert after our show and uh
1474s	if we come back to camera real quick
1476s	production uh we already got invited soe
1480s	and I already got invited
1482s	to they only gave me the they only gave
1484s	me the free Don you have it right right
1487s	here I only I only got the free dut they
1489s	didn't they didn't exchange it me Tracer
1492s	I need Traer to suck for you guys but I
1493s	mean we're we're going there we're going
1494s	to have a great time it's going to be
1496s	great yeah I got a credit card does that
1497s	help with good company you don't have
1500s	good company we got good company let's
1501s	check out the
1507s	[Music]

1526s	radioed light
1532s	s here's some good
1535s	[Music]
1545s	[Music]
1549s	fortune in the
1555s	[Music]
1557s	world
1559s	[Music]
1566s	[Music]
1576s	that's right laraim will be performing
1578s	live tonight at 6 p.m. here at Bisson it
1582s	was a fantastic collab I love everything
1584s	that comes with it of course we have the
1586s	phenomenal skins in game uh got the
1589s	emote the dance they got it all figured
1590s	out but also man those player icons so
1594s	cute these are seriously cute they are
1596s	so cute which one would you rock soe uh
1599s	the ghost for sure oh same I was going
1601s	to say that I'm going to go with the
1602s	little ducky in the middle I I'll go
1604s	with a tiger is that a TIG that's a
1605s	tiger right look like that's the most
1607s	dny player I can I can possibly imagine
1609s	so I I'm feeling it I'm feeling it uh
1612s	all right well we are I think I think
1615s	we're about to be ready for this first
1617s	game
1618s	so let's discuss our predictions as we
1622s	said plenty of time C semi-final matches
1624s	we're expecting closed games here also
1627s	they really could go either way I
1629s	however I got to stick I going to stick
1631s	with them you know I'm going to go for
1633s	the team from China once more I do think
1636s	that they've just been so dominant on
1638s	that doomfist dive even if it's not an
1641s	ideal composition on paper it is for
1644s	them and the teams have not been able to
1646s	dismantle it and I just think they've
1648s	been the cleaner team overall thus far
1651s	in the O World Cup I mean I agree I mean
1653s	no one right now could take down the
1655s	team from China uh with their doomfist
1657s	di but if anyone can I'm going with Team
1659s	South Korea they could play that dive
1662s	competition not only that you don't have
1663s	to match South Korea if it doesn't work
1665s	switch to Sigma competition the ego
1667s	battle though they will try to match it
1669s	I'm pretty sure they will but if it
1670s	doesn't work I'm just letting you know
1671s	you don't really have to do it you have
1673s	other comps as well guys I I I feel like
1676s	we've been here before and I feel like a
1679s	lot of the players on team South Korea
1680s	they stuck to that dive miror to the end
1683s	players from Team from China they won
1685s	those matches in the end and so I feel
1686s	like we might see a repeat of History I
1688s	think the team from China is is on a hot
1690s	streak here at the World Cup right from
1692s	recent memory look that's why I got to
1694s	predict them because from recent memory
1696s	they've been destroying everybody team
1698s	South Korea has had stumbles right
1700s	they've dropped Maps things have been
1701s	close they've had to bring them back
1703s	team from China has never been tested
1705s	yet so that could be an issue for them
1706s	but honestly I think they're going to be
1708s	so confident and so aggressive I think
1710s	Johnny you're right about this DPS
1711s	damage I think that's going to be very
1713s	very deadly in the mirror and I think
1714s	it's going to be very hard for the team
1716s	from South Korea to match the Synergy
1718s	that the team from China brings I think
1720s	I've made it quite clear over the past
1722s	month or so seeing some of these players
1724s	from Team from China perform that I'm a
1726s	big fan and so of course I'm going to go
1728s	with Team from China I think this is
1730s	their year I think they're going to take
1731s	down South Korea to sem ainal match up
1733s	and I think they'll bring it home later
1735s	today and for once Johnny does not get
1737s	food by the audience so it's a win-win
1740s	already for everyone here on the desk
1741s	sorry Danny but uh yeah we're we're
1744s	ready for the teams so let's meet
1747s	them let's welcome to the stage your
1750s	first Squad the team from
1756s	China team from China playing to win it
1759s	all today obviously runner up here in
1762s	the OverWatch world cup two times
1764s	already they made an name for themselves
1766s	with guu coming out as the Primal blade
1768s	early on in the World Cup history but
1771s	here in 2023 they're Fielding arguably
1773s	the best roster they've ever fielded
1776s	will this be their chance yellow stars
1778s	on the flag but I think it's gold in
1780s	mind for team from the team from China
1782s	this year incredible performances so far
1785s	in the World Cup I can't wait to see
1786s	what they
1787s	bring and their opponents welcome to the
1790s	stage team South
1796s	Korea the team South Korea has fielded
1799s	the strongest teams in OverWatch World
1801s	Cup history I think if you look back
1803s	through the years team South Korea has
1805s	fielded the best roster they have the
1807s	most professional players really from a
1809s	mathematical standpoint there's no
1810s	reason they shouldn't be winning every
1812s	single year so it's going to be a tough
1814s	test for them against the team from
1816s	China and these are our first two
1819s	semifinalists here to call all the
1821s	action are no other and then our iconic
1824s	Duo Mitch and Matt please take it away
1828s	thank you soe five years ago a
1832s	semi-final featured South Korea and the
1834s	team from China it was a one-sided game
1836s	during a period where South Korea were
1839s	the most feared nation in OverWatch but
1842s	much has changed since then it has I
1845s	mean I I I think the team from China
1846s	obviously they've just been rolling
1848s	through just about everybody here know
1850s	at the OverWatch World Cup uh we'll take
1852s	a look at you know the starting lineups
1853s	in a bit but uh it'll be South Korea
1855s	actually Felding Fearless here at the
1857s	start start of this series so that tells
1859s	you they want to play the dive I think
1860s	if Korea is going to win this series
1862s	it's going to be through the backline I
1864s	think if you look at the rosters like
1865s	that's probably the one spot where you
1867s	probably like the players on the South
1869s	Korea side a little bit more uh with
1871s	Fielder and shield I mean they've been
1872s	so good we are dealing with the
1875s	2022 World Champions plus lip one of the
1880s	most hyped players over the last couple
1882s	of Seasons so while we spend as much
1885s	time talking about this super team that
1886s	is the team from trying make no mistake
1888s	that's absolutely true this South Korean
1892s	roster also probably is bringing close
1894s	to their best if not exactly that the
1897s	one thing we have to point out the elep
1898s	in the room is that it's been a little
1900s	bit of a bumpy road for this South
1902s	Korean team to get here there have been
1904s	maps that have been dropped namely to to
1906s	Finland for example we've seen even the
1909s	pluckiest of upstarts put pressure on
1911s	this South Korean roster where the team
1913s	from China haven't lost a map at all yet
1915s	they drop a map to Canada right I mean
1918s	you look at the bracket from yesterday
1919s	who would have thought that would have
1920s	been the closest game everybody else got
1924s	you know wrecked in terms of uh know
1926s	matchups right three's outside of that
1929s	matchup against Canada but uh know this
1932s	is where this is where like the money's
1934s	made so to speak right where it doesn't
1936s	really matter how you performed in
1937s	groups doesn't matter how you performed
1939s	yesterday know you show up here you win
1941s	two matches today you're the
1946s	champion
1949s	ready
1950s	[Applause]
1955s	for and let's not
1957s	forget waiting on the other side of the
1960s	bracket the winner of Finland and Saudi
1964s	Arabia that's going to be a sick game as
1967s	well two fantastic semi-finals in a
1969s	fated match up in the finals of the 2023
1972s	OverWatch World Cup awaits but for now
1975s	let us enjoy ourselves and at the team
1977s	from China and South Korea take to the
1980s	field it's Busa Mecha
1982s	base so this is interesting both teams
1985s	don't play the Doom we'll just get a a
1987s	Winston mirror it's a 2022 throwback a
1991s	world championship composition for a
1992s	world championship team this favors
1995s	South Korea so much in my opinion like
1999s	gu's been incredible on the D right yeah
2002s	I I think you're going to have to like
2003s	getting into that type of mirror favors
2005s	South Korea so heavily in terms of like
2008s	their
2009s	comfort this was the meta game that year
2012s	and a bit ago now s for want to make a
2016s	return to there it looks pretty powerful
2017s	fielders able to drop to the point and
2019s	make the cap lip St For a Moment by the
2020s	power up punch by Goose but just able to
2022s	slip away the healing though it's got to
2024s	come thick and fast Fielder needs to
2025s	attend to the rest of the teammates but
2027s	it turns out the best defense might be a
2029s	good offense unfortunately for Fearless
2031s	he can't finish the job there on monk
2033s	who finds three in that
2036s	fight he he's feeling himself I me mon
2039s	able to get three as they pretty much
2042s	give up li in their own backline to try
2044s	and make a play for the team from China
2046s	backline but monk with some sick plays
2048s	think back to yesterday team from China
2050s	lose two three plays at the start of the
2052s	fight and end up winning it gu and leave
2055s	off and turning it
2056s	around it'll be a pretty even score line
2059s	here as the team from China got that
2060s	flip just now lip under a bit of
2062s	pressure leave harrying pulse bomb in
2065s	hand here but so maybe not Target you
2067s	want to fix it too look at the damage
2069s	lip low with they're able to find the
2071s	backline of the team from China already
2073s	now Le's options are solely limited lip
2075s	slides away but gu's found two don't
2077s	tell me they're doing it again Li out of
2079s	the pitch now ksun RX they got to keep
2081s	fers in the fight Fielder desperately
2083s	heals the wind set up and is able to
2084s	take Shy with a kunai that's a Fight Win
2086s	right there I I mean Fielder is
2089s	unbelievable as know he's able to live
2092s	throughout all that keep Fearless alive
2093s	also the point flips really early like
2096s	uh the team from trying to give up the
2097s	the point really early they only get 19%
2100s	Fearless drops in great bubble this is
2101s	going to segment the team from China for
2103s	a moment leave can't even get out of the
2105s	door for the time being they're going to
2107s	rotate around to The Far Side of the
2109s	point and it's just going to be Fearless
2111s	jumping in and collapsing Sparkle with a
2113s	PO bomb as well Primal Rage could just
2115s	knock everybody back here there's the
2117s	stick rally no kill from that one
2119s	Fielder going very low there's a sound
2121s	barrier around the corner here for Chio
2122s	the point is when do we use that good
2125s	sleep on F as he was in primal ra Li
2127s	going to be sted up briefly it is a
2129s	nanab boosted sojourn for shy and monk
2131s	is the first to strike again lip is down
2134s	the brdo out of the picture here for the
2135s	team from TR now South Korea lean into
2138s	it where does c go from here he's going
2140s	to try and back up a little bit maybe
2142s	thinks to jump on Chio but he's able to
2144s	emerge from that side room and put
2145s	pressure on monk who had a bionade
2147s	himself now it's a three versus three
2149s	here we have lip coming back off spawn
2151s	felis is very very low and there's no
2153s	Fielder to top him up that's an opening
2155s	for the team from China and guwe driv in
2157s	but CH was able to find lead there a
2159s	kill on the Tracer at this part of the
2161s	fight so important and the flip back for
2163s	the team from China now you stretch it
2165s	out you try to get as much percentage as
2167s	you can you're going to have to back out
2169s	here yeah if if you're South Korea
2171s	especially after losing Chio some crazy
2175s	bles I feel like this pace though is
2178s	kind of what we're going to see all
2179s	series and I think it's really you know
2182s	South Korea being able to utilize this
2183s	Winston that's going to benefit them
2185s	ksun Rush here and opportunity to take
2188s	the point back forite on the point Le
2190s	cops are whip shot as sou Korea emerg on
2192s	the low ground here gu transitions back
2195s	to The High Ground once more that
2197s	actually making a rotation here and in
2199s	that last fight it was leave Landing
2201s	that pulse Spa on a furless getting him
2203s	low that really set up team from CH to
2205s	win they might have guwe trapped there
2207s	but he's so healthy no one's really
2209s	putting any damage down on him they
2210s	don't want to risk powering up that
2211s	punch But Here Comes Sparkle looking for
2213s	a pulse bomb Target but he's being
2214s	pursued doggedly by gu it's shy falling
2217s	first again L with first body in that
2219s	fighting Go Powers up another one but
2221s	langa gets left upon the low ground is
2223s	where the supports are and Chio feasts
2226s	well we talked about it yesterday when
2228s	uh you know we casted the team from
2229s	China versus Canada in that you don't
2231s	have any speed of the backline from the
2233s	team from China so it's way easier now
2236s	with I mean Winston Tracer krio Lucio to
2239s	hunt these players down one more fight
2242s	and South Korea set themselves up on the
2244s	point gu has to touch first here medeor
2247s	strike now maybe to return to safety
2248s	there might need to be another touch on
2250s	the point in the coming moments that's
2251s	achieved L of forer Shield bash
2253s	backwards the pulse oh it's a good one
2255s	but it didn't need to be there the sou
2257s	barrier was in play already for South
2259s	Korea and that's two kills to start the
2260s	fight they find the backline once more
2263s	surgically extract the healers from the
2265s	team from China a big pulse there from
2268s	leave and felis is down there is a
2269s	chance to touch here but it's shy from
2271s	The High Ground Sparkles Nots his
2273s	position he's going to try and slide
2275s	across the point but he'll be taken down
2276s	goose can touch here he's on the point n
2279s	no straight away legs are coming in from
2280s	the cor here but the barrier comes up
2282s	with the wrong time gu get swed there as
2285s	he tries to dive on the back line for
2287s	the team from China can get here Monk Is
2289s	down again though and LX is under a lot
2290s	of pressure once more the back line are
2292s	taken down first no healing for the team
2295s	from China gu trying to land a punch but
2297s	he's being knocked around the entire
2299s	time that was a master class in Target
2302s	Focus from South
2304s	Korea gu is going to be scre dreaming
2307s	about that one ah a little bit of
2309s	variance mat makes the world go around
2311s	you know yeah variety of spice of life
2314s	no there a bunch of uh you know GM level
2316s	OverWatch players clipping that and just
2318s	posting it on the blizzard forums at the
2320s	moment but uh just unfortunate go with
2323s	that punch and he just gets right into
2325s	it oh monk this was the crazy play
2328s	earlier pre that uh shouted step which
2331s	is huge not that he's Landing shots
2333s	weaving the M amongst all of this
2335s	dodging and ducking that is a
2337s	non-negligible amount of damage that
2339s	Anna can put out
2343s	[Applause]
2348s	there all right we're running it back
2350s	now to
2351s	downtown still the Winston set up for
2354s	South Korea but they switched that
2355s	backline no Lucio in toe now and they
2358s	actually have sparkle pick up the echo
2359s	we're going to see LD play Tracer so
2361s	they still want to keep Tracer in the
2363s	mix as will now play the Winston so a
2366s	Winston here yet again both teams now
2368s	with legitimate nanab boo candidates in
2370s	the front
2372s	line Sparkle there looking to wrap
2374s	around doesn't want to commit to that
2376s	building and now he'll be pressured
2377s	briefly by gu look at the damage coming
2379s	in out of the rest of the team from
2380s	China a breach bionade touch there from
2383s	Fielder a master of longrange grenade
2385s	hits going to get hit with all those
2387s	sticky bombs that's a little bit
2388s	dangerous but they find fearless and the
2389s	focusing beam is not enough to bring
2391s	gway down now Shai looks to turn his
2393s	attention to these backliners but L
2395s	Monker down again they get the backline
2398s	again they turn a short-handed fight
2400s	into an overwhelming Victory I mean shio
2403s	acting like another tank in the mix
2405s	right as uh you see they actually end up
2407s	getting Fearless first shy with a nice
2409s	rail gun shot and it doesn't matter I
2411s	mean Fielder able to keep everybody
2413s	topped up a few players weak they just
2415s	park it shio and let him just go swing
2417s	into the
2418s	face team from China that is got to
2421s	knock the wind out of your sails getting
2423s	rid of feelers at the start of the fight
2425s	South always beine for l so the hard the
2428s	the really difficult thing from the team
2429s	from China is there there's not really
2432s	many options that they have off of this
2434s	yeah I mean that is a big pulse bomb
2436s	that's going to ruin you know any type
2438s	of push but where where if this doesn't
2440s	work where do they go like what do they
2442s	do right uh gue historically it's been
2445s	you know Winston Doom Ry right ball uh
2450s	but like there's not really like Arisa
2451s	and sigma in the hero
2454s	pool even if it were I can't see the
2457s	team from shy going in that direction Li
2460s	just had enough damage on gu to make
2462s	sure that that pulse bomb was Lethal so
2464s	Le trying to get a
2465s	touch you hear those footsteps the pit
2467s	of patter is Li is attending gets a heal
2470s	pack now so Le is definitely
2471s	disadvantaged in this fight and
2472s	elsewhere the backline again big Jordan
2475s	carted Le gets picked off he was on the
2477s	point now the team from China are all
2479s	over the place Sparkle duped and Anna
2482s	for a time but this is actually a very
2484s	comfortable round here for South Korea
2486s	yeah yeah and I it's a little bit of
2488s	what I was talking about in the pregame
2490s	that if you know Korea was going to win
2491s	the series it's really built off of the
2493s	back of how strong their backline is and
2495s	right now the die from South Korea just
2497s	taking advantage of the team from China
2499s	backline F danc The Shield so he didn't
2501s	get hit with a Bic grenade there mat he
2502s	can stick around for a long time he's
2504s	got Primal Rage available as well good
2507s	this is scary stuff here for Shai who's
2509s	trying to maintain some footing it does
2511s	manage to get away from the edge of the
2512s	map but again it's monk to fall first
2514s	now the team from China Hat L to heal
2516s	the up this is dangerous C has slept
2519s	leave now needs to try and defend his
2521s	prone body nothing
2523s	doing South Korea turn up with a
2527s	backline that has hoisted trophies
2530s	before and that my friends is a sub Gap
2533s	and I'm just really interested in how
2536s	the team from China responds right
2538s	they've just kind of you know walked
2540s	through everybody playing this
2541s	aggressive style of play around gue
2544s	doomfist right and like leave getting
2546s	really aggressive on whether it's like
2548s	Eko or Tracer or Genji and now
2550s	somebody's brought the pace to them
2552s	right what do they do to challenge this
2555s	let's clarify as well it's not that Monk
2557s	and L are aren't on the same level is it
2558s	that they just can't play the game for
2559s	nearly as long I would say they have
2561s	half the minutes alive proba that South
2563s	Korea's backline have situations like
2566s	this Fearless knows he can pressure monk
2568s	down before ler can get a rally here
2571s	this constant pressure on the team for
2573s	China's backline means that gu can't
2574s	play nearly as aggressively anymore and
2577s	I mean if you were South Korea you
2578s	probably came in and thought that like
2580s	hey if Fearless can play the Doom you
2582s	would be pretty happy right if you said
2585s	to them hey like there's an opportunity
2586s	for you to get like a Winston mirror
2588s	against teams they would have been like
2591s	stunned this might be number one versus
2593s	number two at Winston right we're
2595s	talking about the Primal blade on the
2596s	side of the team from China but we've
2598s	seen the Winston mixed in but these two
2600s	teams because again it's a good place
2602s	for the Nano to go but this is so
2603s	comfortable for South Korea right know
2607s	when you have fearless and Fielder and J
2608s	in the same roster and you can play that
2610s	like Winston with the Anna the the brig
2612s	maybe some Lucio it is just exactly what
2615s	they want to play the team from China
2617s	have selected Paro for our second map in
2620s	this series stick around for that hybrid
2622s	map as a team from China to look to
2624s	strike
2627s	[Music]
2629s	[Applause]
2630s	[Music]
2635s	back
2641s	[Music]
2741s	[Music]
2816s	with the way the world of OverWatch is
2818s	right now you will not you cannot find a
2821s	more compelling matchup that South Korea
2825s	versus the team from China and we're
2828s	being treated to it in our first match
2829s	of the day our first semi-final here at
2832s	the 2023 OverWatch World Cup and Bard it
2835s	has delivered after an explosive
2838s	Busan I me that was a a crazy map number
2841s	one I think it's something that you know
2843s	the desk highlighted we highlighted uh
2845s	know the the South Korea backline and
2847s	Fielder and Chio just so strong it feels
2849s	like they never make mistakes have all
2851s	the support like combinations covered
2853s	pretty well uh and even so they have
2855s	been on the roster right to cover some
2857s	of the other roles uh Paradiso will be
2859s	the selection here from the team from
2862s	China but typically what we've seen from
2865s	them is that shy Le and gue are enough
2868s	to just kill the backline right away Mon
2870s	and Lika are good enough to live against
2874s	pretty much every team here except maybe
2876s	South Korea and that's kind of what we
2877s	saw on map number one a lot of
2879s	discussion on the desk about these
2881s	Dynamic DPS Duos and how they'll really
2884s	govern the way this match goes but what
2887s	we've seen is actually it's more about
2889s	the backlines or lack of backline for
2891s	these teams that decides to fight even
2893s	before they begin my prediction King
2895s	Danny limb though if he if he thinks
2897s	South Korea is going to take it there
2899s	there's some you got to put some stock
2901s	in that some Merit
2905s	there
2907s	[Applause]
2912s	yeah I I love the you know the the team
2914s	their fans have sh up here at bisan in a
2917s	big way they will travel they will turn
2920s	up that is awesome however a little bit
2923s	muted after that first mat which in all
2925s	honesty that second round was not close
2927s	the team from Trina to look at to pick
2928s	themselves back up here compositionally
2931s	we are in a very similar place as we
2933s	were on bus you're out's a bit muted
2937s	today look at he's talking I didn't
2940s	realize when we were getting in the car
2941s	we were going to the Kentucky
2943s	Derby you know what you get with me by
2945s	now at least I'm
2947s	consistent Fearless copy a bit of poke
2949s	here on this High Ground I think Lee
2950s	would really much rather delve deeper
2952s	put some pressure on lip but guess who's
2953s	there Sparkle keeping track of him the
2956s	Trac is a little low and that's a
2957s	fantastic bionade from monk to connect
2960s	with the most important player behind
2962s	this defensive setup and Goose's an easy
2965s	followup yeah you're going to have to
2966s	back up here if you're South Korea
2969s	and a beautiful dive here as gue goes in
2973s	there with the lead finish off Fielder
2976s	again more age to start these fights off
2978s	and the team from China know what
2979s	they're about by this
2982s	point again on Busan it was definitely a
2986s	situation where South Korea could
2988s	dictate the tempo because they
2990s	designated as Defenders here and they
2992s	really need lip to have some output
2994s	early in these fights they can't NE
2996s	neily make these risky d off the safe
2998s	High Ground like they could on and it's
3000s	really not I mean really didn't get
3002s	anything from wh there in that first
3004s	fight right it is the team from China
3006s	taking point a with relative ease and uh
3010s	know look that that could be one thing
3011s	that if you're the team from China you
3012s	realize like hey maybe the weak link
3014s	here to like put pressure on is lip
3016s	right maybe you feel like you can take
3018s	advantage sory would love to be the
3020s	instigators here if possible but they do
3022s	need to allow the team from China to
3023s	dictate the pace to a degree what a Monk
3026s	Is The Mastermind holding the puppet
3028s	strings from the back lines and he
3030s	allows gu to be extracted after the
3031s	Winston got slept inside that room nowo
3034s	opportunity for both teams potentially
3036s	for the Winston here leave already
3039s	though with a duplicate looking for Chio
3041s	sticky bomb connecting with leave and
3042s	he's going to have to go into a
3043s	duplicate to stay alive the damage he's
3044s	taking is unreal but he's able to
3047s	stabilize here as he drops to the low
3048s	ground and Sparkle can't do a Dar thing
3050s	about it manab boost is off the table
3052s	and Spark would never had a chance to go
3053s	for a duplicate either now le streams of
3056s	High Ground CU Li whatever you can do I
3059s	can do
3061s	better and you know what's interesting
3063s	here is like this isn't really a great
3065s	like Tracer map necessarily right like
3068s	uh Verity a lot of like verticality and
3070s	Tracer is usually the answer to a lot of
3073s	like strong Echo based compositions
3075s	right so leave it almost like gaps
3078s	really in terms of like ultimate charge
3080s	Sparkle there as uh South Korea will get
3082s	a fight here before this second
3083s	checkpoint fer goes for a bit of a fly
3086s	of a there and doesn't find a connection
3087s	it's Mark
3089s	again hey which monaster is he going to
3092s	sign me up Shy there with the bio really
3095s	not bothered by that L with a rally in
3097s	playe now and guay wants to dive a
3098s	little bit deeper that Rally's now
3099s	expired disrupt the shot though making a
3101s	half of South Korea to emerge from the
3103s	bunker but they'll go anyway Shai
3105s	finally brought down liing that
3107s	overclock he but L to keeps that Shield
3109s	tight and gu goes low Li really wants to
3112s	put this pressure on that backline but
3113s	leave is going to prevent him from
3115s	commanding The High Ground ground
3116s	eventually ice turned towards the echo
3118s	here leaves taking a ton of damage the
3119s	healing was incredible to keep him up
3121s	and it's monk again okay he will be
3123s	punished for the huus that he just
3125s	displayed but team South Korea need to
3127s	be careful not to overextend into this
3129s	the monk has had himself a map thus far
3132s	I mean making he us man yeah I mean
3134s	making some sick place I do it's not
3136s	like you know when we talk about the
3138s	support and like maybe there's like a
3139s	gap like the Gap is not huge it's a it's
3142s	minuscule but in a series with players
3144s	this talented that's all you kind of
3146s	need I mean monk had some sick plays in
3148s	map number one like the Highlight we
3149s	show with the know the 3K and then the
3151s	way he's playing right here you know you
3154s	have this Nano boost potentially for
3155s	leave again this is the first stop we've
3158s	seen all map by South Korea it comes in
3160s	a pivotal moment too if they can
3162s	stabilize here they'll be laughing but
3164s	Sparkle o the n's not enough the
3167s	focusing being from Lee does its
3169s	job now felis the next Target big sticky
3172s	bomb connect but felis is healthy enough
3173s	he's able to find Lex what shy not ready
3176s	for that FIS might have to give up his
3178s	life here but the damage is already done
3180s	but yeah I mean he takes out two and
3182s	then it also sets up Fielder to take out
3184s	gu I mean that is a huge swing how does
3186s	FIS get away with that dive I don't know
3189s	man I mean uh he would probably lived
3192s	all on through that if he doesn't get
3193s	hit with a bio there at the end I mean
3196s	on that part of the map the team from
3197s	China have to play from the low ground
3198s	that's why Shai is sat there as felis
3200s	just Dives on him I think they're try to
3203s	remediate that now by pressuring up
3205s	towards his left
3209s	side Primal and rally here for South
3211s	Korea we're already at a minute 30 on
3213s	the clock leave with a dofy got whip
3214s	shot back Shy might be the weak link
3216s	here felis may agree leave on Anna
3220s	pretty frustrating to deal with but FIS
3221s	has a primal oh goodness potential for
3224s	environmental kill
3226s	shy over the
3228s	edge ande doesn't really have a whole
3231s	lot to do from here he'll be trapped
3233s	into the stairwell for the time being
3236s	we have another reset for the team from
3238s	China they're losing momentum rapidly
3240s	you hope it's a reset for a second there
3241s	look like furless wanted to commit maybe
3243s	go on in but they'll burn a little bit
3246s	more clock I mean the team from China
3248s	took this first checkpoint so fast
3251s	pushed it to here and then it's been
3252s	like 3 minutes plus of stall
3256s	now Sparkle goes over the top here flank
3259s	play us to cool Downs duplicate soj
3261s	disrupt the shot oh he misses it
3263s	oh uh you want to have those on back I
3266s	think where are you going
3268s	sir well felis is also behind them so
3271s	let's pretend that was all planing d low
3272s	very low bio connected on him there but
3274s	L now with the overclock a real
3277s	opportunity to make his
3279s	Mark how does Sparkle find that he fails
3281s	the soj jump but he comes out of
3283s	duplicated has his cool Downs to unload
3285s	how does Li get out of here Slide Away
3287s	there's a mega health pack and goway
3288s	knows he cannot pursue any further the
3290s	card is awful close but giio pops a
3292s	rally Sparkle not ready for that
3294s	apparently Shai has the High Ground here
3296s	the the the rally is going to allow
3298s	Fearless to get back into the fight as
3300s	wellow he got hit he sends one over at F
3304s	shy again getting a lot of room to
3306s	breathe here F gets slep by Monk this is
3309s	it the team from China are going to have
3310s	this checkpoint now Shai secures it in
3314s	this more ground could tread on parizo
3316s	that furless would have been the one to
3318s	contest but mon hit a sick sleep Dart
3321s	and he's flying over the top as you know
3324s	that that may allow actually cuz you
3326s	would have started to get the Anna back
3327s	off the spawn Sparkle would have came
3329s	back uh South Korea though put
3331s	themselves back into this game by
3333s	getting that big of a hold though right
3334s	now just a little bit over a minute for
3337s	the team from China to complete the map
3339s	bit of a trough in Ultimate economy here
3341s	especially for South
3343s	Korea it's just a duplicate though so
3346s	not a huge deal right leave will go for
3349s	a though dupes a Brig looking for
3352s	Sparkle at the whip shot at his beehive
3353s	but Sparkle already found his intended t
3355s	knocks him back into toward Shai shy
3357s	finds Fielder across the map though no
3358s	AR for the South Korean team and Spar is
3360s	not going to get away rally comes out as
3362s	well and Le finishes it with a shield
3364s	bash now back in Echo form it's just
3367s	Chio Fielder just came off respawn a
3370s	defensive biotic grenade for fers to
3371s	keep him up and it looks like the team
3373s	from China want to wait for a
3375s	beat yeah you're going to have an ano
3377s	here for leave and that's all you want
3378s	to go with leave look at the Cho Fielder
3380s	going to be grouped up there's the Sleep
3382s	Le is's going to be put down especially
3384s	with the bonate that connects f is
3386s	sleeping but he contesting the card as
3388s	he does so you're getting value still
3391s	and now I mean look at how the ultimate
3392s	economy is just completely flipped on
3394s	its head four ultimates here for South
3396s	Korea Sparkle what interesting moment
3399s	there Sparkle Dives in gets punished for
3401s	an instantly Chio though the rally this
3403s	is such a big ability right now Li going
3405s	to be hit with a Bic grenade and Chio s
3407s	the rally is still ticking Li eventually
3409s	gets brought down and felis had the
3410s	Primal range a lot of damage as a result
3412s	of that but ler is still here felus H
3414s	with another B Fielder falling now A
3417s	desperate D from Sparkle he finds an SL
3421s	and he gets two how has he done this now
3424s	back in Echo form he can still stor sh
3426s	in trouble F beam doesn't get him there
3428s	but Li's able to come back off the spot
3429s	and here comes Chio gu wants to step up
3432s	felus is going to be back on the C just
3434s	the moment but Shai finds two a three
3435s	versus two favoring ker lead now joins
3438s	the fight as somra back on Fielder the
3441s	damage a is enough to get the kill but
3443s	Le might be in trouble himself he's able
3444s	to trans C away just in time of gu gu is
3447s	so healthy gu is so
3449s	hungry and Sparkle now can only try and
3452s	stall what a turn around lip now trying
3454s	to touch B away for a brief moment he
3456s	doesn't have The Wraith walk Fielder now
3458s	on CH 2v2 the supports here for team
3461s	South Korea will not go down for doesn't
3464s	care it's got a fairy
3470s	tale the team from China dig deep and
3473s	finish the map
3477s	it was not looking pretty for a while
3479s	there for the team from China South
3482s	Korea Coes into like that last fight
3484s	four ultimates to just really I think
3486s	links's rally and it does not matter
3490s	team from China battle back in a huge
3492s	way dude Sparkle got the two I was like
3494s	there's no way they're going to turn
3495s	this I mean we've seen this roster do
3497s	that time and time again he dupes Anana
3499s	yeah he Bates both players from the team
3502s	from China he sleeps lensa elimin
3505s	ler and it's only because the team from
3508s	China are so rapidly back on the scene
3510s	that one kill from leave who DED to
3512s	picking off Fielder that's probably what
3514s	locks it
3517s	up still they
3520s	to they finish them M no time remaining
3523s	though you took checkpoint a with like
3525s	almost like four or five minutes to get
3527s	checkpoint B uh maybe kind of like a
3530s	little bit of a missed opportunity there
3532s	uh from the team from China to set a
3534s	really good time
3536s	[Applause]
3548s	considering the way things were looking
3550s	after that first stop that South Korea
3552s	made happen defensively the team from
3554s	China had to be pleased to see a map
3557s	completion
3559s	here now South Korea get to be the
3562s	instigators in many of these engagements
3564s	something that them so well on ban in
3568s	the way that the team from China is able
3570s	to take checkpoint a so fast they found
3572s	to pick onto lip can South Korea
3575s	manufacture a pick here onto one of the
3577s	players from the team from China felus
3580s	uses his dive to scale up his
3581s	positioning he doesn't try and Chase shy
3583s	down this does force the team from China
3585s	to drop off The High Ground to a degree
3587s	they desperately want to keep shy topped
3593s	up more control here for field
3595s	Sparkle falls back oh my word I mean you
3599s	never know how much charge that soier
3601s	has right it can be difficult to tell at
3603s	times and he jumps right up and you know
3605s	Shai has a fully powered rail gun if
3608s	it's shy safe to assume he's at 100
3613s	permanently so Fus using those leaps
3615s	there not to fully commit onto any
3616s	Target but to try and create a staging
3619s	ground for South Korea to play from
3622s	especially lip get lip set up with a
3624s	decent Seline because this low ground
3625s	doesn't suit him but look at gu's
3627s	position right he wants to like counter
3629s	dive right and as soon as furless goes
3631s	in yeah you see furless almost trying to
3632s	bait it right looking back at gu once he
3635s	Dives in he gets a cool down out of shy
3636s	the disruptor shot and they're able to
3638s	take the bridge for a Time South Korea F
3641s	wants to wait here he really needs field
3643s	to maintain that line of sight they've
3644s	kind of split monk off lip in a bit of
3647s	danger here especially if Le wants to
3650s	turn around they find Chio that's the
3652s	loose end for South Korea they leave
3654s	Chio little undefended and Al leave is
3656s	going to get a nano where does he go
3657s	finish the job on Li first this defense
3659s	is
3660s	indomitable but wait hold on I mean
3663s	Fearless has the benefits of anano you
3664s	still have sparkle here oh he catches
3667s	leave that's huge what a sleep from
3669s	Fielder Sparkle gets out with his L it's
3671s	slow play for South Korea but they're
3673s	gaining ground rapidly now L are
3675s	rallying trying to save the teammate shy
3678s	being pounded by felis in that corner
3680s	this will force all of the team from
3681s	China to play off the point around the
3683s	rally shy will come back with an
3684s	overclock yeah they're going to back out
3686s	a little bit give up some space and then
3687s	probably get aggressive behind this shy
3689s	overclock sleep on Sparkle bubble
3691s	bionade warted for monk it's going to be
3693s	a duplicate here of it Anna but leave
3695s	gets knocked out of it instantly now
3697s	trying to pressure down with a focus he
3698s	gets lit big kill for leave shy slides
3701s	on in here he needs to find a head shot
3702s	on Fielder it's too late Fearless lands
3704s	on it but already found two and the king
3707s	from China look at them rotating players
3709s	on and off the point they're still
3711s	holding on yeah leaves duplicate wasn't
3714s	a long long lasting one but it was
3716s	worthwhile duplicates the Anna gets a
3719s	bio onto lip in midair lip actually
3721s	lands the rail gunshot takes him out of
3724s	the duplicate but then it doesn't matter
3725s	he just goes in with the focusing beam
3726s	and finishes him off it's a six player
3728s	play for the team from China virtually
3730s	Tracer here for Sparkle So you see the
3733s	Tracer so good against like even so but
3736s	really the echo it's just difficult to
3737s	run here on this map they need a head
3739s	shot here Li can't find a great response
3742s	ler gives up his life to protect Mar
3744s	will have to that's enough leave is so
3746s	low Force to play in that side room but
3747s	Li can't hang around Primal blade is on
3749s	the field right now Kush trying to
3751s	protect the rest of his team with that
3753s	Primal Rage though and again the team
3754s	from China will have another crack at
3756s	this coming out from this room but
3757s	they've got only the Nano coming out for
3760s	monk it's too late felis is able to find
3762s	Shai straight away diving on in G might
3764s	not be able to get that n at all here
3766s	and South Korea finally Prov VI on point
3769s	I yeah really good defense though from
3772s	the team from China on point8
3775s	gives themselves like a pretty clean
3777s	opportunity to potentially hold here on
3779s	what a difficult point to take at
3781s	checkpoint B BL so much time off the
3783s	clock it's such a good look okay this is
3786s	this is interesting dropping the soldier
3788s	now so well you want to keep on the echo
3790s	the echo could put pressure on Shai but
3793s	then also have lip now on the Tracer
3795s	where I kind of like this cuz like I
3796s	didn't think lip was getting a ton of
3798s	value on the soj it didn't seem like at
3800s	least on this map lip has to use a blink
3802s	though to cross the Gap otherwise it'll
3804s	take six business years for him to reach
3806s	the backline of the team from China Le F
3808s	Sparkle though oh a One V one oh he's
3810s	too good gu oh honorable mention there
3813s	as he comes in to finish off that
3815s	elimination team from South Korea now
3818s	headed back towards spawn and lip still
3820s	struggling to find a way to create
3822s	impacts yeah I think you just have to
3824s	wait a little bit for Sparkle to come
3825s	back you got to get some spaces lib's
3827s	going to try and go on a little bit of a
3829s	flank here maybe put some pressure on a
3830s	monk on The High
3832s	Ground Primal range for
3835s	he'll again scale up that positioning
3837s	take the high ground but Sparkle again
3838s	is down Sparkle getting exploited over
3841s	these last couple of fights constantly
3843s	meaning South Korea playing with
3845s	four Ah that's not good for field out
3847s	he's in a little bit of trouble Chio
3849s	quickly to the rescue but says okay I'll
3851s	jump on out use your cool Downs yeah and
3853s	I I mean you know Shai has just been so
3856s	good on the soldier just getting these
3858s	first picks right it's something we
3859s	didn't see from the team from South
3861s	Korea how is lip supposed to do anything
3862s	when ler is constantly checking this
3863s	flank route
3865s	I don't know I mean you see Le checking
3867s	it now as well
3869s	right Le now knows where lip is the
3873s	return for gue diving back to the rest
3875s	of his team oh my word
3878s	sh get stuck there on that High Ground
3880s	beautiful work from L finally that's
3883s	what South Korea we're looking for and
3884s	now they can go up a gear gu and leave
3887s	though might pose an issue they can hit
3888s	the backline constantly counter diving
3890s	here and a bonade of midair from Le
3892s	means that felis is afflicted Le doesn't
3895s	mind he just wants to keep gu fighting
3896s	keep ticking over like this and gu has a
3899s	primal can he punish the echo here after
3901s	this Le no it's going to be ananab boost
3903s	now for Le to keep him alive and Chio is
3905s	down to L The Shield bash felis has to
3906s	drop to the low ground but there's 37
3908s	seconds left and felis was sleeping on
3910s	the
3911s	job this is not looking good for career
3914s	at
3915s	all what a defensive display for the
3918s	team from China and
3921s	fielder well I don't need to explain
3923s	what happened there
3926s	with that Primal just knocks him all the
3928s	way into the middle of nowhere as South
3931s	Korea last attempt here no ultimate to
3934s	work with the team from China in a
3937s	perfect spot to tie it up behind Shai's
3940s	overclock just how good are you South
3943s	Korea this is where we find out early
3946s	vionate on felis is also taking a lot of
3948s	damage he's going to jump away overtime
3951s	maintained here for South Korea Rai is
3953s	ready to let this over clock glow F has
3956s	no choice but to hang on the cut
3958s	stickies takes shy low no follow up
3960s	though from Sparkle he playing from a
3961s	respectful distance but shy he wasn't
3963s	brought up that way Dives on in and
3966s	sparkles down already the overclocks
3967s	only going to find one kill but they may
3969s	well be enough especially with Le
3971s	chiming in with the focusing beam toio
3973s	desperately forced her back away it's
3974s	just lift stall in the carpet he's H
3975s	with the biotic grenade and Goose he's
3977s	reaching havoc in the back line what a
3980s	hold a team from China stop Coria in
3985s	their
3988s	tracks you know we uh we had talked like
3990s	you know maybe there's a difference in
3991s	terms of like level of support play or
3994s	whatnot I think you saw a large sojourn
3997s	Gap in that one I mean Shai just
4000s	absolutely taking over finding those
4003s	picks when it's needed and there was
4006s	just no like answer from South Korea
4009s	monk really delighted us at the start of
4011s	this map and his impact was felt all the
4013s	way through
4015s	massive sleep there on
4017s	Chio keeping that bionade up for felus
4020s	to finish off the fight and again we
4022s	felt pretty good about South Korea's
4023s	defense buying you know a couple of
4025s	minutes especially in that second phase
4027s	of the map but this is just raw
4029s	determination and git to get the team
4031s	from China over the line here and even
4033s	like South Korea probably felt pretty
4035s	good going into the half like hey we we
4037s	gave up checkpoint a really fast right
4040s	but know we battle back we forced them
4042s	to complete no te uh but there are B was
4046s	not
4047s	good they had problems getting lip in a
4049s	position to succeed first the soj play
4052s	often being forced to operate from the
4054s	low ground here had a moment at least
4055s	from lip to break through but then he
4057s	switches to the Tracer you said you
4058s	liked it but we saw nothing but a nice
4061s	pulse bomb stick yes but that was it I
4063s	mean tracer's typically effective
4064s	against these comps but like we talked
4066s	about it at the beginning of pariso
4068s	usually don't play it because of the ton
4069s	of like the verticality I I kind of
4071s	liked it because they were absolutely
4072s	getting nothing with the soldier so like
4074s	you may as well have gone somewhere
4076s	else sometimes any change is a good
4080s	change and for team South Korea I'm sure
4083s	they'll feel the same about the map
4084s	change as well
4085s	surasa will be the selection from Team
4088s	South Korea it doesn't appear that this
4090s	will be accompanied by any substitutions
4094s	either and Finn remain on the bench yeah
4097s	and we are going to go straight into
4099s	this next one we are now going to take a
4100s	little bit of a break as uh surasa I
4104s	don't think you're going to see Finn
4105s	obviously here because you need the
4106s	Lucio right I don't think you're going
4107s	to see that uh interesting though when I
4109s	believe we saw the team from China play
4111s	it was like new junk City they actually
4112s	don't play the Lucio they still play
4115s	Anna yeah the Anna rig back line so uh
4118s	it'll be curious like you know they're
4120s	going to be behind on like a few fights
4121s	they'll probably be behind on some
4122s	positioning but uh if they're just too
4124s	strong to you know overcome that look at
4127s	for Genji here from Sparkle and leaf Li
4131s	and Sh both may be put on on Soldier 76
4135s	duties and that's something that we've
4137s	sort of remarked on over the course of
4139s	this World
4140s	Cup is that on the soldier 76 it's much
4143s	harder to be put in a playmaker's
4144s	position it's not as flashy right but
4146s	you have extreme levels of utility
4149s	duelist potential and that Mobility that
4151s	can allow you to go on these wide flanks
4153s	and set plays up especially with like a
4155s	a KIRO if you have that comp KIRO can
4157s	join you on those flanks to make them a
4158s	little bit more punishing yeah we saw a
4160s	lot of soldier like the highest level of
4162s	play right you know taking off angles
4163s	through throughout the year I actually
4165s	think uh you could run it here we've
4167s	seen Shai already pick it up uh and I
4169s	think you just need to figure out a way
4172s	know right we talked about how maybe
4174s	South Korea has an advantage in terms of
4175s	the backline right now though the team
4177s	from China DPS players when they play to
4181s	their potential I I don't know if it
4183s	really matters what happens on the other
4185s	side I mean those two players with leave
4187s	and shine are so good is it that is it
4191s	time to discuss lip and his impact on
4193s	this game or like the RO from parer I I
4196s	mean there wasn't really a ton of impact
4198s	right uh and I you know what do you you
4202s	got to like kind of get him go and get
4203s	him in the flow of the game right we've
4204s	seen Sparkle come up with some plays you
4206s	know whether it be on the echo very
4208s	aggressive yeah very aggressive wants to
4210s	play that way uh when you're playing the
4212s	so turn though it becomes really
4214s	apparent when you're not the landing
4215s	those rail shots right when you're not
4217s	you know picking up those final blows
4219s	like you can definitely tell that it
4220s	does not have as much of effect uh you
4223s	know as we see on Shai's side of things
4226s	right where he's able to just you know
4227s	every overclock it feels like it's a two
4229s	three
4232s	k heading now into surasa our third map
4235s	in this series selected of course by
4237s	South
4238s	Korea there'll be that on new Queen
4240s	Street
4243s	here got to see Sparkle on the Genji
4246s	leave also on that
4249s	yesterday don't get too excited looking
4251s	at South Korea comp like oddly enough
4253s	like it almost seems like lip is more
4255s	comfortable like we know lip to be like
4257s	the best Sombra in the world like I
4258s	don't even think that's like really a
4260s	discussion right uh after that what
4263s	would you say
4266s	right you know in
4269s	soj yeah I mean but you're you're
4271s	getting into like Shai as like a hit
4273s	scan you know type of like expert
4276s	right okay here we go no soldiers here
4279s	the
4280s	reaper this is such a a sparkle classic
4284s	so every time I see every time I see
4286s	Reaper I'm like why are why would
4288s	anybody play Reaper and then again this
4290s	is the 2022 composition
4293s	yeah the uh Winston Lucio KIRO with the
4297s	soj and Reaper really team fight
4300s	oriented very Broly and that's what
4302s	they're going to do right now s cor want
4303s	to go in with sparkle is already down
4306s	it's odd not to see teams take the fight
4308s	on the Point South Korea thought they
4310s	could fight China out in the open but
4312s	perhaps is better behind closed doors
4315s	yeah uh you know maybe you think you can
4317s	punish gu a little bit with the reaper
4320s	the reaper has great survivability right
4323s	uh I just feel like it's not as
4326s	effective at you know putting pressure
4328s	on the backline like the Tracer right
4330s	this tells you like you know trying to
4332s	like put a ton of pressure on gue maybe
4334s	T to like take away the kind of like
4335s	counterd style of play that they're
4337s	trying to
4338s	do it's a little
4340s	telegraphed it also requires you to play
4343s	well within arms Harm's reach excuse
4345s	me both are
4348s	valid here's Mark safe spot to
4350s	be Shai obviously operating on The High
4353s	Ground for a time for those juicy sight
4355s	lines okay Sparkle inputting as soon as
4359s	he comes out of the Shadow step
4362s	here what does half looking for a dive
4364s	Target ideally Fielder playing a loose
4366s	end
4368s	here poking down at gway but this won't
4370s	be nearly enough to cause problems for
4373s	the wion from the team for CH and here's
4374s	that dive chai very low they get the
4376s	sojourn first oh that's a good
4378s	one you can't count on those but when
4381s	you get them it really locks up a fight
4383s	nicely done by Li another rail to take
4384s	lxer out of the pitcher and the team
4387s	from China just have to throw themselves
4388s	at it now yeah this is what you want to
4390s	see if you you know you want to see if
4392s	your South Korea like lip start to come
4395s	alive right two rail gun connections
4397s	there we we know he can you know this
4399s	this is a player who has been up for
4401s	like MVP you know discussions the best
4403s	player you know in terms the damage
4404s	dealer in the world right we know he can
4406s	do it uh it's just seeing it you know
4409s	here and right there that first you know
4411s	real fight after the first one where I
4412s	mean team from chin gets 99% right lit
4415s	with those two shots puts Korea in
4418s	control of the point the most important
4419s	C down here Matt is the soj slide that's
4422s	what South ker are looking for they want
4424s	to try to find a way to force it out or
4426s	to see shy reposition before going in
4429s	here they go k r going to send them in
4430s	they see monk but they think better of
4431s	it it's going to be L going down first
4433s	in this fight though not ideal shy now n
4436s	and overclock they more like Overkill te
4439s	for trying to get the point Midway
4440s	through the fight and so sparkle well
4442s	this is
4442s	awkward yeah there goes Fielder another
4445s	rail hit from Shai Mr the consistent on
4447s	the soier in this series and that'll be
4450s	your first F Point going to the team
4452s	from China yeah then they do a
4454s	tremendous job of keeping Shai alive
4457s	right cuz like you mentioned South fre
4459s	they want to see that Dash go out of the
4461s	soldier and then they want to try and
4462s	collapse but lensa and monk do a
4465s	tremendous job keeping Shai standing and
4468s	that's what decides a lot of these
4469s	fights what is the plan for South Korea
4472s	now no comp changes it was H briefly
4475s	they're going to stay with this Lucio
4477s	KIRO you have an overclock right start
4480s	things off uh no support ALS on both
4482s	sides you have an overclock you'll have
4483s	a death Blossom here so a death Blossom
4486s	maybe if you're like a bit sneaky get a
4488s	kill with it but I think you're really
4490s	looking at lip to land some shots with
4492s	this overclock fi has has to know that
4494s	he's in a dangerous spot here shy
4495s	looking for that
4497s	head both Winston in get that overclock
4499s	from Li he's got to find something here
4501s	goway I've seen this before I've seen
4504s	this before that's Coast to Coast baby
4507s	Li though will be waiting at the edge I
4509s	think we call that edge
4511s	guarding yeah sure now Li can move up
4514s	yeah it's a very it's very commonly used
4516s	term in OverWatch maew yeah very typical
4518s	situation to witness switch to the
4520s	doomfist now for GU don't really hear
4522s	anybody in my gam so say oh yeah well I
4524s	mean know rank up a little bit buddy
4527s	yeah yeah you the the gold
4531s	Guardian I'm Diamond come on how are we
4534s	having this conversation now le with the
4536s	pulse Sparkle oh that's Telegraph but
4540s	hey subtle not necessarily means
4544s	effective the death LOM claims one there
4546s	and this will be South Korea cleaning up
4548s	another fight outside of the Beyblade
4550s	that's probably the best death bosson
4552s	we've seen in years uh no you TP into
4554s	the bubble then you get the death
4556s	Blossom going right there's no stun on
4558s	the other side of things right it
4559s	doesn't seem like Linka has a whip shot
4561s	to knock Sparkle back as leave so this
4564s	is interesting Le was on Tracer now goes
4568s	over to the echo because there's no
4569s	tracer on the other
4571s	side gu tries to touch booed away
4573s	straight into power block yeah not much
4575s	you can do about that one k their Rush
4577s	here might secure this point but I think
4579s	field would have to hold it for the
4580s	first SP of the yeah sh and this is just
4583s	and DRS here for the team from
4585s	China all right South Korea even things
4588s	up here on surasa and probably the best
4591s	part of the end of this fight for South
4593s	Korea is they don't lose anybody they
4595s	don't have to use any types of like
4596s	ultimates really to end up flipping it
4599s	and now they end up with a ksun rush
4601s	sound barrier here going into the next
4603s	one we're going to have a fight
4605s	potentially off the point looked like it
4606s	may be laas but South ker actually want
4609s	to go straight to the point
4612s	instead
4614s	there'll be a bit of dancing
4616s	here they're sitting just in the top of
4618s	that St oh oh look at this the team for
4620s	try to split in half they're going to go
4621s	for it now as sound barrier comes in an
4623s	opportunity identify for South Korea but
4625s	they've got to be quick about this Monk
4627s	Is down and traded out though and here
4629s	comes goway Chio is flattened field now
4631s	the cons Rush has to be deployed with
4632s	the N boost
4633s	on pretty key for ler there chai picked
4637s	off though Li finds another key rail an
4640s	awkward fight to take there but South
4641s	Korea thought they had an opening they
4643s	were WR
4644s	oh oh they were
4646s	wrong the backline from the team from
4649s	China clutch up I mean that is one where
4652s	South Korea they think they have an
4654s	advantage they go all in Primal ksun
4657s	Rush sound barrier and not able to take
4662s	the point first and you see now the echo
4665s	comes out Sparkle away from the reaper
4667s	goes over to trace thenan Linka it was a
4669s	three versus five virtually Linka just
4672s	could not be killed there
4674s	and rally gu turned up and eliminated
4676s	Chio instantly after the sound barrier
4677s	was used there I see the idea where the
4679s	execution was
4681s	lacking Sparkle going down there you
4684s	cannot allow this to happen monk gets
4686s	yet another
4687s	one yeah looks like maybe just took some
4689s	damage going across there oh this is
4691s	ugly did Sparkle and then just gets
4693s	picked off by the
4696s	Anna gu won't be allowed to return to
4699s	spawn a fun farewell bidden yeah I take
4703s	look at
4704s	this very safe spot for mon to be here
4708s	and how low
4712s	was just take those shots if you can you
4714s	never know who else is doing damage at
4716s	the same
4719s	time all right 90% and Counting here for
4722s	the team from China this is a bral break
4724s	point on surasa and from the backline
4726s	you he Li pop that overclock good damage
4728s	on guwe but it's healed up very very
4731s	very
4732s	quickly yeah disrupt the shot to slow
4734s	them down here Sparkle C does not want
4735s	to get picked off early he leave almost
4737s	does just that ch's in trouble now it
4739s	seems like it's go time though right gu
4741s	he's going to have the meteor strike
4742s	with the duplicate here as well they
4743s	still have Nano the team from China they
4745s	have all this defensive utility but
4747s	they're not using it defensively meteor
4749s	strike from gu in he goes and out go the
4752s	remains of South
4754s	Korea another a flash point for the team
4757s	from
4757s	[Applause]
4760s	China they put themselves a flash point
4763s	away from taking this map
4767s	pick South Korea ended up taking us here
4770s	and uh Team from China they have done
4772s	tremendous J we talked about that
4774s	backline maybe it's a difference does
4776s	not look like that now as Monk and links
4778s	have played great giio Switched Off the
4781s	Lucio a while back here for the brick I
4783s	think that extra durability in the rally
4784s	is just something you can't go
4787s	without so up to the point we go we'll
4790s	have teams fighting outside of it once
4791s	more felis may opt to just
4793s	allow the team for try to flow towards
4795s	the point proper and the one thing I
4797s	wonder is like the echo has actually
4799s	been pretty good against like you know
4801s	doom and do you have enough damage for
4804s	South Korea to get rid of gue right with
4806s	the power block like Tracer you know uh
4810s	win not a lot man for f but he didn't go
4812s	for the backline instead playing
4813s	defensively because Shai is on the hunt
4815s	Shield bash there from CH doesn't do
4816s	much to slow this Relentless Onslaught
4818s	down and Li oh that could have been a
4820s	big mistake taken to the sky as well shy
4822s	was in overclock but he isn't punished
4824s	for it still South Korea have to play
4826s	off the point to start with and Shai
4828s	keeps that rail well and truly charged
4830s	Sparkle needs to keep his wits about him
4832s	human but he needs to be a threat in
4833s	that off angle gu got to be body blocked
4835s	they catch out the doomfist here's an
4837s	opportunity now for South Korea to go
4839s	forward and felis does just that into
4841s	the backline takes not of sh's position
4843s	but linkx is definitely the best Target
4845s	here they take down the brg and now the
4847s	teams are trying to just throw
4848s	themselves at it for
4850s	respawn yeah and at the start of that is
4852s	actually pretty good trade from the team
4853s	from China they end up using a nano on a
4855s	shy which we've seen a few times here
4857s	throughout the week and he gets into the
4860s	backline puts down some shots and what
4862s	happens they end up having to used like
4863s	Nano and rally uh does South Korea the
4866s	Fus also ends up hopping Primal to live
4869s	uh so once you get all those three ultim
4871s	ATT you kind of like back up but South
4873s	Korea in the end they get that pick on
4874s	the GU to kick things off he switches
4876s	over to the Winston now it's about even
4879s	on this potential last flash point
4881s	Sparkle has that pulse bomb now but who
4884s	would be the recipient leing duplicate
4886s	is knocked back outside of the bubble
4887s	mon surval Target it's dropped in the
4889s	middle of them and all of the team from
4891s	China disperse Le getting a lot of work
4894s	down most of the damage here and felus
4895s	is going to get an anab boost now L is
4896s	off towards the side but no one from
4898s	South Korea is looking that way KZ Shai
4900s	was first on the menu no serier now but
4902s	a big bionade to follow up on it's
4904s	Fielder being picked off just brg for
4906s	healing for South Korea and is a nanab
4908s	boost here for the team from China gu
4910s	trying to hang on and fers had to go for
4911s	the Primal race the pressure the back
4913s	but Li he finds a key shot with that
4915s	overclock G taken down n boost or not
4918s	South Korea were ready for him and oh my
4921s	word we are going all the way on surasa
4924s	ah we were say when is lip going to step
4927s	up right there with the overclock you
4928s	had lost Fielder your largest source of
4931s	healing everybody running back to the
4933s	point cuz Chio doesn't have any line of
4934s	sight on anybody they get within chio's
4937s	range the overclock comes in and he
4939s	seals the
4942s	deal running out for Chio building that
4944s	up in that last fight not opting to use
4947s	it that left hand side populated right
4949s	now by the team from China Sparkle it's
4951s	tough for him to threaten that spot as
4953s	Tracer doesn't have the vertical
4954s	translation Chio going to go for the
4956s	rally here as gay might be posing a
4958s	problem in this Primal Rage overclock as
4960s	well here could try find anything
4962s	there's lip y he can there was a baron
4964s	on Li sh didn't care finds the Finish L
4967s	are very very low on hit with the Bion
4969s	but he's able to bite his time the fact
4970s	that South Korea can't chase that brick
4972s	kill down as is going to come back to ha
4973s	them yeah SP gets hit with a bio as well
4976s	and he will
4979s	fall leave now now you're just you're in
4983s	a mirror matchup here which know early
4985s	on we actually thought this favored
4987s	South Korea but as the series has gone
4988s	on team from China is starting to play
4991s	great this map especially from the team
4992s	from China yeah South Korea following
4995s	suit with the changes to their backline
4996s	now realizing how pivotal the brig is
4999s	stick isn't there for
5000s	leave so he backs out now
5003s	40% but there's lip what a pick chai
5006s	gets taken down it's a Charged rail gun
5007s	head shot you cannot ask for much more
5009s	than that from lip and we have been now
5012s	the rally lster monk has a nano on board
5015s	will hold it as goway is not under any
5016s	pressure right now and South Korea need
5018s	to turn that pick into a team Fight Win
5020s	they've got to go here gu low it gets AO
5022s	just in time great timing there for M to
5024s	keep him up and he gets CH gu on his own
5028s	disrupts the backline and now felus is
5030s	sleeping he can't get Primal in time
5033s	takes him down before that all comes up
5034s	and you've got to believe that's
5037s	curtain South Korea outplayed and gu
5040s	does a great job of just sitting in the
5041s	choke controlling that choke not letting
5044s	Fielder push up denying that line of
5055s	sight we went all the way to five flash
5059s	points a rough start for South Korea
5062s	they finally find themselves Midway
5065s	through surasa and lip finally is able
5068s	to generate these fight winning
5070s	picks that last fight was awkward a
5072s	player Advantage for South Korea they
5075s	pick off shy ler is 5 HP they can't get
5079s	to him and gay gets a nano to pick up
5082s	Chio to turn the tide in their favor the
5085s	crowd they're on their feet here in the
5087s	team from China Corner and we talked
5089s	about you know how good the South Korea
5092s	backline is
5093s	and I think you actually saw the team
5095s	from China know with the way that gu was
5097s	playing in terms of tank being able to
5100s	really give them problems right getting
5102s	in the middle not pressing too far Not
5104s	Going In Too Deep kind of splitting them
5106s	off from fearless and the rest of the
5107s	team getting you know South Korea a lot
5109s	of trouble and for the first time ever
5112s	the team from China are threatening to
5115s	eliminate South Korea from a World Cup
5119s	Tournament with two silver medals in
5121s	their past
5123s	the team for CH are going for gold have
5125s	a look at some of these moments here gu
5127s	switches to the Winson eventually this
5129s	body block here I think was pretty
5130s	massive at the start of this fight fers
5132s	gets in the way that is so important
5134s	there so I think a a positive sign for
5137s	South Korea is I think you start the saw
5139s	lit play a bit better on the soj you're
5141s	going to need that if you're going to
5142s	battle back in this series but I think
5145s	you're going to need to make adjustments
5146s	in how you kind of play around your
5148s	backline maybe you know try and bait gue
5151s	in a little bit more
5153s	this moment here this is that Nano oh
5156s	and Chio is just a little overextended
5159s	he may not even have been on line of
5160s	side of Fielder
5161s	there these fights came down to the
5164s	slimmest of margins and that's what we
5166s	can hope for from a series like this the
5169s	team from China and South Korea here in
5170s	this semi-final is delivering UB be
5173s	Bonkers to go
5181s	anywhere

5357s	let
5361s	go
5373s	[Music]
5381s	welcome back everybody live from Bisson
5384s	currently we're being treated to
5387s	basically a grand final caliber match
5389s	between two of the greatest regions in
5391s	the OverWatch World in OverWatch history
5394s	that's right it's a team from China
5395s	going up against South Korea both teams
5397s	M have won their map pick here currently
5399s	two to one favoring the team from China
5401s	but we're very much knee deep in the
5404s	middle of this one well like you
5405s	mentioned typically this is a like
5407s	finals matchup uh of the OverWatch World
5410s	Cup we'll actually get a final you know
5412s	a a final that we've never actually had
5414s	before right we'll get some new teams in
5417s	there uh guwe struggled a little bit
5420s	early on but I think really started to
5421s	find his groove on surasa really putting
5425s	himself in nice positions not
5426s	overextending a little bit too deep
5428s	famous as a Winston player right goway's
5431s	definitely shown a bit more of a
5432s	preference to come out on the doomfist
5434s	here very powerful hero but exploitable
5437s	in some ways and that's exactly what
5438s	South Korea have been trying to do so
5440s	when goway switch back to the Winston
5442s	all of a sudden we have a great Nano
5444s	boost Target uh a very flexible tank
5446s	that can also throw those bubbles down
5448s	in crucial moments especially in these
5450s	high poke scenarios and of course you
5452s	can't forget about the Primal Rage when
5455s	goway is concerned one of the very best
5458s	probably the best in the world of
5459s	securing final blows in a Solo capacity
5462s	with that ability it's pretty
5464s	frightening that that hero is in reserve
5466s	for gue as we saw the doomfist make a
5469s	mark literally in figuratively here on
5471s	surasa for me it feels like though this
5474s	next map and really kind of the series
5476s	like you know do what do we get from
5480s	Sparkle and lip coming into this next
5483s	map right uh I think with the way the
5486s	series has gone it's been pretty even
5488s	and every other kind of like roll across
5489s	the board it's like what are you going
5491s	like can
5493s	they kind of Ascend to the level and you
5496s	know obviously these players like it's
5498s	all ccal players in the lobby right but
5500s	like right now Shai and leave are just
5504s	on a you know playing at such a high
5508s	clip that you're going to have to get
5511s	really close to that to put your team
5513s	over the edge you know and Sparkle's
5514s	playing tracer on that final flash point
5516s	with had a lot of high ground and
5517s	circling it it's pretty hard for Sparkle
5520s	to get exactly where he needs to be at a
5522s	moment's notice is that even the best
5524s	setup for them I think you can make an
5525s	argument that like sparkle on the Echo
5527s	and then lip on the Tracer probably a
5528s	better setup I think on that kind of map
5529s	it is vastly better but that's such an
5531s	open point so hard to win from we
5533s	digress though is espa is the pick for
5536s	South Korea one of these teams will be
5538s	eating like this tonight the
5540s	other maybe not
5543s	again this is a map where if you you
5544s	know you want to play Trace you
5545s	definitely can uh those High Ground
5547s	causeways are a little bit frustrating
5550s	lip Sombra that would be interesting
5552s	again a map that featured Sombra really
5554s	heavily during the Sombra Tracer Winston
5557s	dive metag game you probably don't go
5559s	back there now Sombra not quite the same
5561s	hero that she was no we haven't really
5563s	seen her at all since the rework I think
5565s	it kind of her role has changed I feel
5567s	yeah the way teams used to kind of play
5569s	around her is not the same that we're
5571s	seeing really know anym so I think it'll
5573s	take a bit for her to kind of like get
5575s	back into the swing of things in terms
5577s	of the meta but a mirror match up here
5579s	for both teams Winston base compositions
5582s	Tracer sold on both sides and let's not
5584s	forget this is match point for the team
5586s	from
5586s	China south ker want to take this one
5589s	all the way to five games the leave on
5591s	Tracer seen a little less of that this
5594s	series but that's also a fearsome
5596s	Prospect if to get a glancing blow there
5598s	on shy that matchup will headline this
5600s	map as this High Ground Control is where
5602s	soj
5604s	shines yeah as it'll be South Korea gets
5606s	control of the B first right just a
5608s	little bit of cart
5610s	progress sparle wants to work the
5612s	periphery here he leave will be checking
5614s	each other on those flanking angles
5615s	quite frequently bonade attempted there
5618s	from monk doesn't he anybody gu nothing
5621s	to really follow up on here so once the
5622s	disruptor shot comes down to cover his
5624s	Retreat he jumps
5626s	out uh B getting quite confused back and
5629s	forth back and forth back and forth It's
5631s	like me with ice cream flavors is fine
5633s	he'll figure it out get get them both
5636s	say that's your usual get them both oh
5638s	yeah you know my stor you know my
5641s	stories I ate a pint of ice cream with a
5643s	toothbrush once because I didn't have a
5644s	spoon and I really wanted it that was in
5646s	China it was it was a move there It Is
5649s	sparkle found Le there on that flank so
5651s	finally some movement here on the
5653s	periphery that's huge that's going to
5654s	get South Korea moving here these one
5657s	versus ones between DPS so important on
5659s	this map yeah it was uh I was not seeing
5662s	enough movement out there the start of
5665s	the game it's uh come on uh we got uh
5670s	Fielder now with a nano here po
5673s	potentially for potentially for Fearless
5675s	up on the uh High Ground right but look
5678s	at this I mean the team of China they
5679s	like kind of farmed up all these
5680s	ultimates coming in the next fight I
5682s	told you about this in front of the
5684s	therapist and you and you admitted you
5686s	do it my God Lee from The High Ground
5689s	has a pulse bomp here both sides pretty
5691s	symmetrical in terms of that ultimate
5693s	charge very similar spots Cho they're
5695s	well ahead in rally that might be an
5697s	important factor
5700s	here wants to keep that box stopped here
5703s	okay little bit of aggression here
5704s	movement as Matt put it after I put
5707s	it Sparkles able to find another pulse
5709s	here Sparkle opening up both these last
5710s	couple fights oh and Li Dodges that
5713s	pulse B that comes in from Le I like
5715s	that though I mean you know South Korea
5717s	they have to have obviously felt how how
5720s	strong the Nano on a shy is during
5722s	overclock give it over to LIT let him
5724s	make a play they need Fielder right now
5725s	Fus has been low this whole time he's
5727s	got to use Primal now just for the heal
5729s	virtually Dre had already used his but
5731s	now there's going to be a rally in play
5732s	Fielder should be back on the scene now
5734s	but Le has lived up to his name no
5737s	Tracer again for the team from China
5739s	they can't afford to keep losing leave
5740s	early so they're going to go for shy all
5742s	the eggs in that basket now n boost here
5744s	oh my workless does not get away with
5746s	that one now sh's got more work to do
5749s	here the ground work has been laid and
5751s	lip is low tries to zap him on the way
5753s	out as Chio has to Shield back
5754s	sheepishly back to his side of the fence
5757s	yeah Fearless always living on an edge
5759s	right as he's into the backline like you
5761s	mentioned really weak had to use the
5763s	Primal to live nothing else to use there
5765s	to be able to kind of live through that
5766s	Nano overclock that comes on through
5769s	Bridge control here for the team from
5770s	China you got to get this back if your
5772s	South Korea Sparkle is right in the
5774s	background but he's waiting I think on a
5776s	health pack respawn oh there it is again
5778s	lip the DPS of South Korea have come
5781s	along and what a time to do it now F
5784s	Dives in the back line Go's going to
5786s	have to return but he gets actually
5787s	blocked on the way through again a body
5789s	block
5790s	apparently another convincing Fight Win
5793s	for South
5795s	Korea the team from China really has not
5797s	gotten anything going here on esperans I
5801s	I really think lip has come a lot like
5803s	we are seeing him start to pick it up
5806s	these DPS head to heads it might be what
5809s	kind of decides you know this map and
5811s	you know the if there is a South Korea
5813s	win the final map and I I think you're
5815s	starting to see them actually pick up
5817s	the play right you know Sparkle winning
5819s	a few engag into lit finding some head
5821s	shots at the start of
5822s	fights F notices shy from that low
5825s	ground here but not a safe Target for a
5826s	pulse spot
5829s	application R again will just posture
5831s	for now but had to return to the back
5832s	line there's an opening here especially
5834s	with the bonade on shy Sparkle wants to
5836s	chase it's sick of the century my
5838s	goodness Shai gets picked off again
5842s	Fearless hit with a bio then gets it
5844s	worn off now will push in and Li finds a
5848s	leave is yeah the team from China they
5851s	have not been able to get anything it's
5852s	going to be Primal they want to continue
5854s	to fight this is a winable fight gu back
5856s	hands field on the way through now
5857s	there's no healers available lips in
5858s	trouble he needs to hit these head shot
5859s	on the PO my word the Primal blade sharp
5863s	as
5865s	ever
5867s	spark that's
5869s	awkward they end up pulling out that
5871s	fight in the end that is huge right you
5873s	lose that the the barrier may be up to
5876s	like 80 plus me at this point without
5879s	they were moving so huge fight there
5881s	from the team from China they're going
5883s	to have to win like two three two or
5885s	three more in a row to like get this
5887s	game even though but they win that fight
5889s	and they're not too far behind in Al Li
5891s	gets n charging on in very quickly te
5894s	from China take defensive positions
5896s	inside this choke not hitting the monk
5898s	there might have been a Punisher but
5899s	spark was able to find his way into shy
5901s	sees the pulse coming almost extra
5903s	sensory perception allows him to slide
5905s	at the right time and oh dear monk does
5907s	not want to be here at
5909s	all Fess gets him a table for one in the
5913s	restaurant sou three probably got
5915s	together during that little break and
5917s	was like Hey if we kill Shai he can't
5920s	kill three of us if he's dead he can't
5923s	use an overclock and kill three of us uh
5925s	cuz it looks like a little bit more of a
5927s	concerted effort right to put I know
5929s	some emphasis on taking him out right
5931s	spar getting in his face that time Li
5934s	you know the next that's his second Nano
5936s	here ofans right receiving the benefits
5938s	of that with the overclock letting him
5940s	go in make a play good to see lib set up
5943s	for Success a little bit more now
5944s	getting greater investment from the rest
5946s	of South Korea and he's returning that
5948s	with interest okay sleep doesn't quite
5951s	hit doesn't want to hang around they've
5952s	lost Sparkle in the backline finally shy
5954s	get some action here and We're Off to
5956s	the Races now for the team from China F
5958s	hoping to make some use of the end that
5959s	Primal R and does get mon but pushes up
5962s	the try and support fers that exposes
5964s	him to lead who might be a little IRAs
5967s	at this point yes I mean uh Shai
5970s	actually got hit with a primal he got
5972s	hit with a fist and he shot Sparkle
5974s	midair and took him
5977s	out but you've given up even more
5979s	progress here has the team from China
5982s	probably puts themselves in even another
5984s	fight away from tying it up and we've
5987s	already had a lot of the game go by down
5989s	the last three yeah a comeback here for
5992s	the team from China would
5994s	be
5995s	absolutely astounding they are a long
5998s	way behind cuz factoring there's a
6000s	checkpoint here for South Korea so might
6002s	as well add another fight on for the
6004s	team from China from here on out in
6005s	terms of what they need to do to
6008s	equalize in South Korea they know they
6010s	don't need to be the team that like is
6012s	aggressive and pushes down to that low
6014s	ground well shy don't give it down
6017s	though lip just Falls to pieces on shy
6020s	scrutiny there
6022s	that's really enough now you're in an
6023s	awkward spot your group is four can you
6025s	dive on shy post Nano he's going to get
6027s	back to safety there's a pulse bomb here
6029s	though getting a player differential
6030s	very quickly VI Sparkles ultimate could
6032s	be the key but they' lost feelers this
6034s	now get ugly this now could mean a
6036s	checkpoint for the team from China and
6039s	that was a nano that was going on a
6041s	furless died as it was going through so
6043s	that is a nano boost gone the from South
6047s	Korea that could be a bit of a turning
6050s	point that's so the wind shifts to fill
6052s	the sails of the team from China now
6055s	they have that checkpoint made up this
6058s	is what 34 or so
6061s	met that gets eaten up pretty quickly if
6064s	you can't get on the front foot you're
6066s	looking at like two fights if you're
6068s	South Korea you take a fight early right
6070s	give yourself another defensive fight
6072s	before like a you know box of Victory so
6074s	to speak what a pulse field is very low
6077s	and now needs to be topped up by Fielder
6079s	they'll get him back into the fight
6080s	though it's going to be the 10 m gain
6082s	there by the team from China you're okay
6084s	with this if your South Korea like just
6085s	playing inside of this choke there's no
6087s	reason for you to kind of push the other
6089s	side's ready he's so good Sparkle there
6092s	just has to air drop that one and it's
6093s	no good but elsewhere lip another big
6096s	one from lip Miss will stop the team
6098s	from trying to in that track the
6099s	question is can South Korea Now flip the
6102s	switch no looks like the team from chain
6104s	they want to back out probably play from
6106s	the bridge Area 1 minute China might
6109s	have made enough progress there to make
6110s	it a one fight game if they can get the
6112s	b
6114s	control Force back shy little late to
6116s	get the mem but Fel doesn't pursue oh no
6120s	another one oh Matt that's
6122s	huge this bot is headed right back
6126s	towards the center of the map we'll see
6128s	I mean South Korea it looks like they're
6130s	now going to push the pace they didn't
6132s	want to take any risks at first but that
6134s	pick from lip really gives them an
6135s	opportunity now to start to dig their
6137s	heels
6138s	in they force back CH is going to be
6140s	there with the whip shot going to be
6141s	half a GU to find this kill there'll be
6143s	repair packs and all the
6145s	rest Primal Rage here from both winstons
6148s	at the same time and monk doesn't
6149s	connect that sleep Dart he might be in
6150s	some trouble and lip finishes him off
6153s	he's held in midair it's an easy shot
6155s	for the rail gun and lip now with two on
6158s	the Trot 5 seconds left in the map Lex
6160s	to try to come forward and keep them in
6162s	there gu the last standing South ker
6166s	will not go
6167s	down we're going all the
6170s	way
6173s	so you know we have discussed the damage
6175s	dealers need to pick it up for South
6178s	Korea and lick was phenomenal that map I
6182s	mean that is the uh that is the best map
6185s	we've prob seen from him at the World
6187s	Cup and it's not just slip a ton of
6190s	action from Sparkle including that one
6193s	versus one win against leave right
6195s	towards the start of the map that's the
6197s	cuddlist for the momentum that South
6199s	Korea build in getting that first
6201s	checkpoint rather early and that's what
6203s	gives them such a buffer you can afford
6205s	to lose two fights in a row and come
6207s	back off the strength of all economy
6210s	live with these first Bloods they've
6212s	been needing this so badly all series
6213s	long and giving him the Nano boost right
6216s	and letting him pick up a few kills
6218s	every single time that's really what
6219s	they use to decide it at the end
6221s	Fearless is good enough with just the
6222s	Primal Rage you know uh being able to
6225s	get like hit with a biotic grenade
6226s	playing in line inside a Fielder they
6227s	they're so good that they're going to be
6229s	able to live you know on through that
6231s	where you can then put lip in a position
6233s	to succeed in a big way this one G was
6236s	astounding again a short-handed fight
6239s	where G finds two solo kills with that
6242s	Primal Rage and turns into a sticky
6244s	situation for South Korea Li though here
6248s	that's the kill yeah for me that's the
6250s	kill that turns this around in a big way
6253s	is spasa W by South Korea and Route 66
6257s	is on De for out the side of mat yeah
6260s	you're kind of thinking about like where
6261s	you could go here for this final map and
6264s	it's like is there a map that you know
6266s	maybe you can limit the impact of like
6268s	Tracer really put know soj more at the
6271s	Forefront High Ground on Route 66 Prett
6274s	pretty uh pretty Paramount all
6276s	throughout we've seen a times teams try
6279s	and force the Tracer on this map and
6280s	it's like you say Matt they've had
6282s	difficulty getting her where she needs
6284s	to be soj you should expect to still be
6287s	a real factor in this game and maybe
6289s	Echo mixed in to some degree as
6293s	well getting to choose the map means
6295s	that choice of side will go to Team
6298s	South
6299s	Korea and again a hush over the crowd
6301s	now as we wait to
6303s	see which of these two teams will
6305s	advance to that final yeah and uh I mean
6310s	if you are South Korea I don't think you
6313s	really change anything up like comp I
6315s	think you can you can still run some
6317s	Tracer here I don't think it's like you
6319s	kind of have to just throw it away I
6320s	think the the Winston will really be
6322s	Paramount though we're here in the eye
6324s	of the storm here in HBY at bitcom we're
6326s	going to head quickly down to the arena
6328s	to get a feel for what's going on there
6330s	with Golden
6331s	Boy and thank you so much Mitch and Matt
6334s	yeah so the tension you know things kind
6336s	of got a little quiet over here but
6337s	there's one thing you know I mean come
6339s	on Puerto Rican I got to get loud so we
6341s	got to go ahead and see if we can ramp
6342s	up this crowd and see where they feel we
6346s	got a lot of love here for the team from
6348s	China but what about the south Korean
6351s	fans where are you
6353s	at oh but what about the Chinese
6357s	fans oh my word one more time South
6360s	Korea fans where you
6363s	at Chinese fans where you at oh I think
6368s	the hype is real out here we're time to
6370s	jump into the action Mitch and mat over
6372s	to
6373s	you thank you very much Golden Boy and
6375s	justifiably so both these teams have won
6379s	their map picks that's something worth
6381s	in in mind was to head over to Route 66
6384s	you have to think there's a plan for the
6386s	team from China to close out the
6389s	series I mean I think
6391s	they're I I don't think they have any
6393s	other kind of like tricks up their sleep
6395s	right like like they're not going to
6397s	come out here and play Sigma Bastion I
6399s	mean uh I know hey if they come out and
6402s	play Sigma Bastion I'll I'll like you
6404s	know crowd dive off those platform we
6407s	might need a slightly higher density of
6409s	attendance yeah we'll have to get the GL
6411s	to get the team from China fans over
6412s	here start catching me I you know ride
6416s	across the fans but n i mean we we we
6418s	know what both of these teams are going
6419s	to do at this point I don't think
6420s	anybody is going to deviate from uh this
6423s	type of game plan so not a huge surprise
6425s	to see the trace at least out of the
6426s	gates here because obviously those
6427s	flanking routes plus the tunnels for
6430s	both attackers and Defenders are pretty
6431s	important territories to try and stake
6433s	your claim to early leave expecting to
6436s	play from that slope and every now and
6438s	then duck out on the bridge maybe look
6440s	for an opportunity
6441s	could even play some 76 here if you
6443s	wanted right I mean not in place of like
6446s	a probably still need the Tracer just to
6448s	like kind of Mark and you know put
6450s	pressure in the back line but like if
6452s	you wanted to you know swap out the his
6454s	we seen uh seen actually you know shy
6457s	pick up the 76 you could if you want
6459s	it's the side of map in our first
6462s	semi-final the team from China and South
6465s	ker only one of these will get to
6467s	advance for a shot at the goal would you
6470s	want to be on offense defense here to
6471s	start probably on a started offense
6473s	personally I always feel more
6474s	comfortable getting to try and set a
6476s	Target yeah I I I I think you you want
6479s	to be the team that kind of like sets
6480s	the goal right uh I know put the
6482s	pressure on the other team I think going
6484s	in the next half especially if my
6485s	opponents have some sense of momentum
6486s	and how about that chai did not see that
6489s	one coming that is a three haircut like
6491s	Li and Shai swap Powers at
6495s	halftime Freaky Friday for OverWatch
6498s	players anybody great disrupt the shot
6500s	there Li SL but it's going to be a
6501s	minimal consequence unless CH gets
6503s	caught there oh the bio fer managing to
6507s	get rid of M but he and L have been
6508s	absolute menaces here yeah well no
6511s	Inspire procs for the break there after
6513s	the bio kit so it's an easy kill it it
6515s	comes felis weaving that punching as he
6517s	lands for Optimum damage but shy will
6519s	maybe kept alive here the disrespect
6521s	from Fel is going to give himself up for
6523s	that kill yeah and it's probably worth
6526s	uh no will have to back up cuz you now
6528s	you've killed leave andai they're both
6530s	going to going to be coming off of
6531s	respawn here I like this from shio early
6533s	whip shot Y is that enough time Bo not
6536s	quite the is so so low pulse there from
6539s	Sparkle it is good M trying to come up
6541s	the ramp and send straight back
6545s	down LXI here stuck in the doorway but
6547s	that checkpoint already been achieved by
6549s	South Korea and okay I that that right
6552s	there it's exactly what I was going to
6554s	actually start talking about next I love
6556s	I love we actually catch that there
6557s	towards the end where lip he slides
6559s	forward into shy takes him out a lot of
6561s	like sojourn Widow it's like a lot about
6563s	like ego and confidence right and like
6566s	when you know you're shy and you're just
6567s	dunking on lip constantly like
6569s	throughout the first you're challenging
6571s	things you're getting the Nano you're
6572s	sliding in deep lip's playing a little
6574s	bit scared now you see it's like
6575s	completely turned lip I mean he is
6577s	taking every single fight with full
6579s	confidence Not only was he winning the
6580s	long range game with that big pick on
6582s	shy to start this off but he's more than
6584s	Happ to get in his face and try and
6586s	stress him
6587s	out leave hunting for a pulse pump caned
6590s	here
6591s	Chio has got to be it that got dropped
6593s	off though a no connected Li was able to
6594s	find that kill again caught by the whip
6597s	shot though four versus four as G wants
6599s	to circumvent felis who pops the Primal
6601s	range to pursue and that is such a key
6603s	sleep now F comes back with a vengeance
6606s	after taking a breather gu now forced to
6608s	play on the back foot as F Dives in but
6610s	he hit with the bio as well he'll have
6611s	to retreat behind the bubble for now the
6614s	safety the rally can't keep him alive
6616s	there was a nano it's going to instead
6618s	go over toward lip now with the
6619s	overclock he's got to find a to keep
6621s	this card on the Move gu in danger
6624s	playing out in the open here and Sparkle
6626s	is coming for shy he knows it lip up on
6628s	The High Ground so
6631s	aggressive I mean you use a nano and an
6634s	overclock you have to try and make a
6635s	play right but dude both teams dump
6639s	everything they have into that so now
6643s	it's how does South Korea manufacturer
6645s	pick take that High Ground something
6646s	tells me Matt this isn't just about
6648s	making it to the Grand finals anymore
6651s	[Applause]
6656s	both these teams are leaving it all out
6659s	there this is their last chance to do so
6662s	hyper aggressive play from lip there
6664s	sees him caught out in the backline of
6666s	the team from China it's another bio for
6668s	monk that doesn't catch
6670s	on spark a little low forced to recall
6673s	there and felis wants to threaten at
6674s	least from that High Ground position
6676s	that's a huge bio you've got to go after
6678s	that to some degree FIS will be happy
6680s	enough with the ground gains from
6681s	fielders connection there yeah you'll
6683s	move the payload a little bit here too
6685s	right off of you know connecting on that
6687s	big bio on the mon and ler but you would
6689s	have loved those kills slide out of the
6692s	way there from Li he's got no interest
6693s	in being stuck with the pulse beautiful
6696s	long range bio and fielder is going to
6698s	be next dead taxes and dying to Winston
6701s	after bio it's
6704s	guaranteed and that's how you follow up
6706s	on the bio right monk with a long range
6711s	one Fearless uh really low as Shai comes
6715s	up know towards that new double door
6717s	right comes from the side might be a to
6720s	walk through yeah gets that angle able
6722s	to take him
6723s	out another pulse bomb here for Sparkle
6726s	it's an ano for monk though and fielder
6728s	respectively that you want to keep your
6730s	eyes
6731s	on when you walk through these doors you
6733s	do put yourself in a position for this
6735s	to happen another fire on CH and there's
6737s	the followup you can almost not afford
6739s	to do that at all chai's able to find
6741s	Sparkle that's really just the cherry on
6743s	top that CH kill is more than
6746s	enough how do you break this South Korea
6749s	stalled out I mean it's difficult right
6751s	you can barely even get through this
6752s	choke mean now you have the Nano plus
6755s	Primal right you can really invest into
6757s	fearless and just push these supports
6759s	out that's kind of what you're trying to
6761s	do giio trying to wait for a cool down
6764s	to be popped there for monk he's the
6765s	pressure it's going to be a defensive
6766s	bionade but it catches on a sparkle too
6768s	what a sleep the feel thew and he's
6770s	hungry Mon's going to be L to the
6773s	dropped to the low ground here rather
6775s	across the way lensa gets knocked all
6777s	the ultimate up for the team from China
6779s	now South Korea can't do much about it
6781s	either feel is caught in midair
6783s	suspended a shy puts him in the
6786s	ground dude
6789s	and uh m l don't even feel the need to
6794s	pop the nanao or the rally during that I
6797s	mean so much trust in each other to keep
6800s	the other alive through a Fearless
6802s	Primal
6804s	R 37 seconds left to play South ker
6809s	barely halfway into the second phase of
6810s	the map but that's a pick that might
6812s	give him an opening here bubble has to
6813s	be dropped in the opening now to protect
6815s	against the bio and leave can't find a
6817s	pulse again T now no player Advantage is
6820s	here they've got to go for it fli to The
6822s	High Ground disrupt the shot in the room
6823s	it's going to make it half for the
6824s	supports to emerge bonade though
6826s	throwing it felus he has to wait this
6827s	one out can he get away in time f a
6829s	deper doesn't n
6831s	him n forp instead and he'll make good
6834s	on it for
6835s	two plenty more where that came from now
6838s	as the team from China again go to the
6840s	back foot L has lost his shield he's in
6842s	trouble it's got to be a rally now to
6843s	keep him in the fight yeah but you're
6845s	going to get Fearless back in this fight
6847s	you have a rally here for CH so you have
6849s	a lot for South Korea to stay in this
6851s	getting L to to pop his rally just to
6852s	keep himself alive is pretty huge H for
6855s	spark Le L are playing from a distance
6858s	Fess wants to challenge The High Ground
6860s	monk with a buy from here Nano also big
6863s	place and it's going to be guay getting
6865s	the Nano monk got to be healed back up
6867s	now as guay playing on the low ground
6868s	it's a rally for Chio they making it
6870s	very hard to win that fight pulse bomb
6872s	drops to d right but he ignores it C on
6874s	the Move now even with a disrupted shot
6876s	on it big bio another one lips forced to
6878s	jump away and go might look to pursue
6880s	that one leave on the periphery sees
6882s	Cho's low but can't penetrate that
6884s	shield and it's going to be Sparkle to
6885s	find a first kill the fight Le with the
6886s	pulse P someone's going to eat this
6888s	throw inside the small room and over the
6890s	top CS Goose let try to play back behind
6892s	the bubble another bio a bio with goose
6894s	the Winston's down and here come South
6897s	Korea far from done a second checkpoint
6901s	and 90 seconds
6905s	gained there are moments that just
6909s	sometimes it is such a demoralizing loss
6912s	and right there they get Fearless at the
6914s	start lip with that overclock get goes
6918s	huge right gives them a chance to get
6920s	that payload over the line and they
6922s	finally do it the team from China they
6924s	they went all out and that one they got
6926s	to be devastated they don't have the
6928s	time to think about it though Matt they
6930s	got to pick themselves back up and set a
6932s	new line of scrimmage here in the last
6934s	phe of the map shio knocked away there
6936s	Shield bashing back towards Fielder
6938s	who's going to get the Nano over towards
6939s	felis doesn't want to challenge Monk's
6941s	position for fear of the Sleek D instead
6943s	want a bit of the brick Primal R
6946s	available for fers but he's holding on
6947s	to it playing conservatively here 30 6
6950s	seconds to play Shai pushes up to the C
6952s	once again a lips F but Linka gets there
6954s	first and the soj is down for South
6956s	Korea F soon the follow this could get
6958s	out of hand very quickly Matt yeah South
6961s	Korea looking to
6963s	reset one more
6966s	fight from the team for China to be able
6968s	to get a hold
6970s	here Nano rally probably available for
6974s	China what do you do do you n gue here
6976s	South Korea you're going to have the
6978s	rally and the pral it's actually Prett
6980s	nice that furless save this Primal to
6981s	extend this fight Li will go for the
6984s	overclock without
6985s	the sparkle caught by Le bre Le is able
6988s	to get that Health back up overtime now
6991s	as Fearless will touch here's Sano
6993s	onward gu will be looking for a back
6995s	liner in a moment Sparkle again down to
6997s	low Health lead wants to pressure but
6998s	it's going to be a repair pack go in
7000s	from The High Ground here and he's taken
7002s	down it's able to find him now you got
7003s	to a player Advantage but it's going to
7005s	be knocked back by the brick stun bio
7006s	connecting onto the so here and Le found
7008s	a pul from in the backline to finishes
7010s	the job leave now dancing Fielder trying
7013s	to dodge those shots but F has gotten in
7014s	there with a Primal Rage leave still
7016s	wants the AR can he catch him out Monk
7018s	Is Down fi finds lson though now there's
7021s	no brick but FIS is so low a one versus
7023s	three it's too much to ask for and the
7026s	team from China stop the
7029s	[Applause]
7034s	bleed now at least you know you know
7037s	what you have to do for South Korea to
7039s	get that win uh it can actually get
7043s	pretty difficult to take that second
7045s	checkpoint so just getting you know past
7047s	that know second checkpoint a little bit
7048s	around that corner could be huge for
7051s	South Korea I think it gives you a
7053s	better idea of like how to use your
7054s	ultimates in the second half of the game
7056s	right knowing kind of you have that back
7058s	stop and you know how much time is on
7060s	the clock and how many fights you're
7062s	going to get here or there so they put
7064s	themselves in a position to potentially
7066s	I mean this this would be a a squeak out
7069s	of series is
7071s	with think back to
7074s	Paro againa with South Korea being
7076s	tested on the
7078s	attack now it came to their defense they
7081s	struggled let's have a look back at the
7082s	final moments of the last
7085s	round as this is going to be the Le
7087s	pulse bomb right so liit kicks things
7089s	off here with the first Blood on the GU
7091s	I mean that is how that is a really
7096s	difficult play to make and leave makes
7098s	it look easy
7101s	this kill on Sparkle as
7104s	well so important to find that bear as
7106s	Sparkle can just lap up another mini
7108s	health pack and get
7110s	going so your win condition is
7112s	established the team from
7114s	China look to finish the map
7117s	essentially to get themselves a seat at
7120s	the table in our grand
7122s	finals gu hit with a bio early but not
7125s	going to be able to follow up any of
7127s	that as looks like South Korea does not
7129s	want to play close they want to probably
7131s	play this first Corner give themselves
7132s	like two fights here at this first
7137s	checkpoint disrup the shot there to deny
7140s	that angle from liit Shai wants to make
7142s	sure he knows where to be looking here
7144s	find a grenade down is both Shai and
7145s	monk but it doesn't matter it won't stop
7147s	the head shot potential Sparkle wanders
7150s	into that one Chio almost overextend
7153s	they get lead great rail gun from both
7155s	soans now FIS comes home to roost here
7157s	but not before lip gets picked off by m
7159s	all of the team from China are piling on
7161s	in
7162s	here gu's happy to actually slow things
7165s	down a little bit doesn't need to
7166s	overextend into this position waits for
7168s	some of those defensive cool Downs to be
7170s	teased out and the bubbles doing a lot
7171s	of heavy lifting here great dance away
7173s	from the bio gu just has this one
7176s	memorized bio hits fearless and fielder
7178s	by the way they'll have to back away
7179s	give that ground up for now I mean gu
7181s	just generates so much speace for the
7184s	team from China I mean you see the
7186s	payload it's already basically at the
7187s	first
7188s	checkpoint gu knocking at the door as
7191s	always
7193s	felis wiped up the face of the map there
7195s	another powerful head shot yeah Chio
7198s	going to go for it South Korea trying to
7200s	buy as much time as they possibly can
7201s	but how do you kill goway now Primal
7204s	Rage makes things even worse and that
7205s	bionade from monk they have been
7208s	Unstoppable the pulse from Sparkle is
7210s	good but you really need a lot more than
7211s	that n's given over lip here he's close
7213s	to an overclock and felus is back in the
7215s	fight South Korea here to defend that's
7218s	going to be the rally from l trying to
7219s	keep everybody out and gets L feel is
7221s	the only one right now Fielder not in a
7223s	great spot and couldn't intervene gu
7226s	cleverly sets himself up on that left
7228s	side to deny Fielder line of sight and
7231s	he buys him so much space right he jumps
7233s	in between himself it's like Fearless on
7236s	one side gway with his bubble in the
7238s	middle and then Fielder on the other and
7240s	fearless gets low he jumps back towards
7242s	Fielder the biotic grenade from monk
7244s	right there and that gives him so much
7246s	payload
7247s	progress back off spawn now is feess
7250s	having a good incling of where to fire
7253s	Goose playing on that overhang on top of
7255s	the
7256s	saloon n here for monk we've seen it go
7258s	gu's way a couple of times as well shy
7261s	with overclock though might be the
7263s	ticket Li got Nano but didn't use
7265s	overclock we didn't have a chance to
7267s	previously Here Comes shy got Nano but
7269s	Fus wants to deny this can he get back
7271s	on the map yes he can but the give of
7275s	his P shy returns to The Fray now wants
7277s	to pressure the bottom room of this
7278s	Saloon Fess drops in front of another
7280s	bubble dropped down but the cor of
7282s	Silence will not be effective as Spar
7283s	can the LI are
7285s	gone who now will protect South Korea
7288s	from the Relentless
7291s	onsl man the team from China has turned
7295s	up here on offense and what do you do
7298s	now with South Kore you're just going to
7300s	have what maybe a pul fom and a rally
7302s	here this is a devastating circumstance
7305s	as the team from China is set a really
7307s	good
7308s	time gu here has to wait he can't
7311s	intervene here he's trying to play from
7313s	an off angle and they lose Li before
7315s	there's a chance for a fight to begin
7317s	sleeped out on gu there's nothing you
7319s	can do to follow up on that he's just
7320s	too big and that's another
7323s	checkpoint 4 minutes and 30 on the clock
7327s	how do you hold this off oh I mean this
7329s	would be a legendary hold if South Korea
7333s	is able to do it as the team from China
7336s	in a perfect position to close the
7339s	series out in their
7342s	favor fied with an N it's probably going
7344s	to have to be Fearless here th of the
7347s	crowd becomes deafening now the RO the
7350s	tiger being muted it's going to be shy
7352s	again field is in danger he's got to
7354s	know that but a bionade is crucial he
7356s	sends it over to try to slow him up the
7357s	Nano feel as though is slept leave now
7360s	free to try and deal with sparkle for a
7361s	moment but there's a lot on his plate
7364s	South Korea buying a bit of time and
7365s	they have a rally in the back pocket 3
7368s	minutes 47 ding got why do I read it out
7370s	there's just so much
7372s	time leave has this pulse now and he has
7375s	dropped into that left room still
7376s	competing for Supremacy with sparkle M
7379s	by he'll play safely oh my goodness a
7382s	sck on a tracer are you kidding me here
7384s	at the World Cup I don't believe it R
7389s	comes down here for Chio but this is a
7391s	full on hope he's for back the card is
7393s	so close two Meers to
7397s	go and the Dragon soes over the
7401s	tiger departs
7403s	unknown and a chance at the gold
7412s	[Applause]
7418s	[Music]
7421s	medal and in the end the DPS Duo of shy
7426s	and Le with just too much I am in that
7429s	offensive half of Route 66 they were
7433s	just dominant shy it feels like every
7436s	fight getting a first one picking a
7438s	player off on the soldier and then leave
7440s	with the B St onto the Tracer to close
7444s	it out I mean they are in a prime
7447s	position never been in a better spot to
7449s	get the
7453s	goal the team from China are here now to
7456s	rewrite
7458s	history falling to South Korea in
7462s	2018 two silver medals in their
7465s	past right now they are fixed on only
7468s	one thing and that is the world
7470s	championship that is the gold medal and
7473s	who can stand in their way it feels like
7475s	you probably slay a little bit of a
7477s	demon here right somebody who's always
7479s	been in your path never been able to get
7482s	over uh and even for South Korea right
7485s	it didn't play the best I me you see how
7487s	much this means to the fans here uh that
7489s	came out to support the team from China
7492s	but uh South Korea they they didn't
7495s	really kind of know play their best but
7497s	always in those big moments they were
7498s	going to come up and play to the level
7500s	of their competition and the team from
7502s	China just a step ahead we discussed how
7505s	choice of map here might impact how the
7506s	way went but again it came down as it
7508s	has for much of the series to those
7511s	individuals monk with the biotic
7512s	grenades on that second part of the
7514s	defense right the long road constantly
7517s	buying time for the team from China
7519s	connecting on CH or whoever it doesn't
7521s	matter there's always going to be a
7522s	followup it's electric in here the
7524s	crowd's excited I can feel something
7526s	magical Brewing we going to head now
7528s	down an interview with
7533s	SH thank you so much
7538s	guys what an exhilarating match I'm
7541s	sorry I I had my myself together before
7543s	this and then the moment I came on stage
7546s	and saw Shai I just got a little
7548s	emotional
7549s	but anyways
7551s	congratulations um great performances
7553s	from both teams you know team Korea is a
7556s	team that's known for its flexibility so
7559s	how are you guys able to prepare and
7561s	just adjust for whatever they were
7563s	throwing at
7578s	you
7583s	[Music]
7592s	[Music]
7596s	um so it's not the first time that we
7599s	went up against team Korea we have faced
7602s	these players many times before so we
7605s	were very prepared in every department
7608s	now the next question is is the only
7610s	thing standing in the way between you
7612s	and that gold medal is one more match so
7617s	will this be the year that you guys take
7619s	it
7638s	all
7646s	it's not going to be an easy match but I
7650s	believe that no matter what with the
7651s	five of us together if we perform our
7653s	best then we can definitely win and we
7656s	can take home the gold um thank you guys
7659s	so much and
7666s	again thank you so much back to you at
7669s	the
7670s	desk thank you so much Emily great to
7674s	hear it from shy Here China take this
7676s	one in a nailbiter of a series this is
7680s	what we wanted to see this might as well
7683s	have been a final but I got to ask here
7685s	first are you okay
7687s	Danny oh come on you know come on I'm
7690s	going to be honest I'm not really used
7692s	to this I mean sure me getting PRS wrong
7694s	I'm very used to that but you know South
7697s	team South Korea has always been
7699s	historically a very dominant team but
7701s	you know they did a great job but
7702s	honestly team from China is something
7705s	else oh my God they were amazing they
7708s	were and Johnny heading into this match
7711s	in our match preview he said you're
7713s	going to have your eyes on that DPS to
7716s	and they showed up yeah the damage to
7718s	from the team from China was obviously
7719s	the Difference Maker in this series I
7721s	think you saw that both uh lip and shy
7723s	went head-to-head when it came to the
7725s	soier battle finding picks early on in
7727s	these fights really set up the rest of
7729s	the team as much as you can talk about
7731s	winon and backlines mitigating you know
7734s	the supports played phenomenally from
7735s	both sides both Mon and fielder Cena but
7738s	really it comes down to the damage
7740s	players in my opinion Sparkle finding
7742s	these P bom picks especially on
7744s	espiranto was CR for South Korea but
7746s	most of the time it was really leave who
7749s	had the upper hand when it came to that
7751s	matchup and I think that was the big
7752s	difference maker in this series right
7754s	here so yes team from China I do think
7756s	they had the superior damage dual in
7758s	this match and I think you could see it
7760s	throughout that was what gave them the
7761s	upper hand here I I have to agree I mean
7764s	I think for me as you said the soj I
7766s	feel like that was a 50/50 match up I
7767s	feel like lip played head-to-head but
7769s	Sparkle he plays Tracer he's incredibly
7771s	good at it but it's not his best hero
7773s	it's not his total comfort and on those
7774s	final two map picks traser felt like the
7776s	most important hero you needed to have
7778s	it here on sarasa though I felt like
7780s	throughout the series there were moments
7781s	when the team from South Tria they sort
7784s	of questioned this dive comp they
7785s	brought out the Lucio it didn't work for
7787s	them and I think they're going to be
7788s	kicking themselves for that choice uh
7790s	when it comes to the postgame review
7792s	here the team from China never once
7794s	wavered they knew that they would play
7796s	this comp through to the end the Anna
7798s	Brig dive style yes they swapped you
7800s	know Ekko and Tracer Winston and doom
7802s	but they were so committed so confident
7804s	and I mean we saw why especially on that
7806s	Route 66 attack so I mean for me uh what
7809s	I learned or what I really liked about
7811s	team from China is that you know they
7812s	were making really good adjustments they
7814s	were making quick swaps here and there
7816s	but other than that I think honestly for
7818s	me I think they were just the better
7820s	team they were very very focused and I
7823s	think that really carried on to the end
7825s	they did not lose focus at all not even
7827s	when they were at a this advant
7829s	advantage and I think that really played
7831s	out very well for team from China I mean
7833s	at this point like I'm almost willing to
7836s	Crown mon like the best Donna in the
7838s	world because quite honestly when we
7840s	went over to Monk's you know first
7842s	person view we could see that he just
7844s	play like picture perfect feeling making
7847s	sure that we could Spark couldn't find
7849s	those picks as much as Sparkle is a
7850s	fantastic player the backline the
7852s	support players from the team from China
7855s	really like held them off really well
7856s	and you cannot just say that it was you
7858s	know a mechanical kind of like
7860s	difference here for Sparkle he didn't
7861s	really off to the Tracer I me this post
7863s	B oh my God that is that is like a slam
7867s	ha to see those my Lord that's that's
7869s	putting you on the poster that's putting
7871s	you on the poster right there brutal
7873s	right there but yeah I mean the entire
7875s	Squad the team from China this could be
7877s	their year now
7879s	it I mean eventually it has to be right
7881s	coming second two years in a row they
7884s	are eager and I think three or four of
7887s	those players have been on the team from
7889s	China for the past two second place
7891s	finishes so they want that goal they can
7894s	smell it they can see it that they are
7896s	finding themselves in our finals but
7898s	first we have another telestration to
7900s	break down some of the action Jake the
7903s	team from China they stuck to their guns
7905s	for this one yes they did and I want to
7907s	break down especially a fight where the
7909s	teams from South Korea you know they
7910s	brought out this Lucio comp on surasa
7912s	there were moments it looked good but
7914s	here I wanted to show a fight that
7915s	really shows how the team from China
7917s	they they just dissected this comp that
7919s	the Dallas fuel in 2022 in the OverWatch
7921s	League they destroyed everybody with
7922s	this no one could touch them but today
7925s	here the team from China answered it so
7926s	here we're seeing Dallas fuel playing
7929s	this aggressive Lucio Rush style Chio
7931s	you see he's already beating in and this
7933s	is a great catch from the team South
7935s	Korea right gu and leave they're they're
7936s	leaning towards point they're separated
7938s	way and team South Korea I mean they're
7940s	already on top of this backline this
7942s	looks like a really tough scenario for
7944s	the team from China but let's roll the
7945s	clip and see how they deal with
7950s	it so we can see the beat dive comes in
7953s	everybody split from the team from China
7955s	but crucially here lensa and monk are
7957s	able to slip back through the front
7959s	lines of the rush they kite first back
7961s	into the corners first away and then
7964s	return back and sort of flip the map get
7966s	back behind the rush and regroup yes
7968s	they do lose monk but at the same time
7970s	they pick Sparkle and when you are
7972s	playing this on a break comp with the
7973s	echo soj you have so much damage over
7976s	time so much healing all you need to do
7978s	is make the fight long extend it out get
7980s	more cycles of cooldowns out and you
7982s	will eventually win it all and that's
7983s	exactly what they did so we can look a
7985s	little bit more at the povs here to see
7987s	how this fight started out uh Team from
7989s	China was able to win it here lensa I
7991s	love this moment because look at this
7993s	that's all he needs this tiny third
7996s	person Peak you can see Shai is already
7998s	he's like I'm out of here I'm done I I'm
8000s	running I'm full kiing and we can roll
8002s	the clip here how quickly the team from
8004s	China instant reaction instant kiing
8006s	Nano and rally coming on the brri
8008s	everyone's splitting apart and yet at
8010s	the end of this fight they're regrouping
8012s	back on the point side of the map team
8014s	South Korea they're forced to chase
8015s	they're forced to try to end it gu as
8017s	well here with a beautiful disruption of
8019s	the dive getting in here holding all of
8021s	the aggro for his teammates trusting
8023s	that his Echo and sojourn are going to
8024s	do so much damage carry the fight if he
8026s	can just disrupt keep these other
8028s	players players off of his teammates
8029s	perfect execution frankly showing I
8031s	think why the team from China is so
8033s	confident in this comp why they never
8035s	swap off because they know how to adapt
8037s	and adjust their play style to deal with
8039s	any strategy their opponents throw at
8040s	them and additionally there are a couple
8041s	more details there that are crucial of
8043s	course that gu made the swap to doomfist
8046s	when he saw Sparkle bring out the reaper
8048s	so that's moving away from the Winston
8049s	to the doomfist really made a difference
8051s	in that fight but also the heads up play
8053s	to put the Nano onto the rallying Bri
8055s	they recognize that okay South Korea
8057s	they're going to die aggressively as a
8059s	team with that Reaper with the Lucio
8061s	with the K they're going to be in our
8062s	face so we're going to invest in Nano
8064s	not into our soldier this time but onto
8066s	the rallying Brig and that is going to
8068s	help us peel off South Korea and buy us
8071s	time to turn this fight around so really
8073s	heads up from the team from China like
8075s	Jake said and honestly it's something
8076s	we've seen from them multiple times at
8077s	this point in the tournament even when
8079s	monk goes down he knows he's going to
8081s	die there he knows there's not really
8082s	much that anybody can do for him but
8084s	Nano in the brg now she's not going to
8086s	go down you're still going to have heals
8087s	you're still going to have sustain and
8089s	you're still going to be able to outlast
8090s	in the team fight that we saw that
8091s	against the Team USA as well right like
8093s	even when Team USA gets opening picks
8095s	the team from China they strike back and
8097s	they and they win what looks like a
8098s	disadvantaged fight it looks like it's
8099s	going bad for them but it's in the end
8101s	it's always in their control they they
8102s	have the read of the game and it's
8103s	incredibly impressive to see this level
8105s	of play at the OverWatch World Cup so
8106s	good yeah they've been able to dictate
8108s	the tempo here they are on the same page
8110s	the cohesion of that team is thus far
8112s	unmatched in the OverWatch World Cup
8114s	let's see if one of the teams can take
8117s	them down as they are now waiting in the
8119s	finals and the two teams which are vying
8121s	for that second spot are team Finland
8124s	and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia one of
8126s	these teams will be getting a chance to
8130s	take China down and to stop their reign
8134s	or their their attempted drain their
8136s	attempt at that gold medal which they
8138s	might be getting this year around we'll
8139s	find out very soon first we're heading
8141s	into a break and afterwards we are back
8142s	with the second semifinal match of the
8147s	day
8151s	[Music]
8158s	[Applause]
8171s	[Applause]
8177s	the hold the
8180s	[Music]
8181s	[Applause]
8207s	B
8237s	right
8238s	[Music]
8271s	[Music]
8336s	[Music]
8377s	welcome back everyone this is the
8379s	OverWatch World Cup
8381s	2023 and we're about to dive into our
8384s	second semifinal of the day we had an
8387s	explosive first match here with South
8389s	Korea and the team from China it went a
8391s	distance it went all the way and quite
8394s	frankly this is my expectation for this
8396s	second game as well both these teams
8398s	which are finding themselves in the
8399s	semi-finals here for this one they have
8402s	been very very clean very cohesive they
8404s	looked very very strong and I dare say
8407s	some of them really surprised the
8408s	audience let's talk about the two teams
8411s	at hand Kingdom of Saudi Arabia first we
8414s	know them of course from the European
8417s	contenders as a twisted minds they are
8419s	uh backed up here by surma jet from the
8421s	OverWatch league and they've been
8423s	looking like they really are on the same
8425s	page and they know their win conditions
8427s	I think the team from the Kingdom of
8428s	Saudi Arabia this year is the strongest
8430s	that they've ever fielded really playing
8432s	incredibly well on what I think is the
8434s	strongest comp in The Meta built around
8435s	a sigma with KSA putting up incredible
8438s	performances on the hero and surma Jed
8440s	keeping him alive there's so much to be
8441s	excited about from this team and they
8443s	will be facing off against the team from
8445s	Finland uh they have been lights out
8449s	taking South Korea all the way as well
8451s	like they they made them sweat for it
8453s	Johnny yeah a bit of a dark hor here in
8455s	team Finland obviously a lot of new
8457s	names coming into this roster but also
8458s	old Legends like Masa who of course has
8460s	competed in overwat League Grand finals
8462s	he's had that statue with him another
8464s	team that really excelled playing this
8466s	slower Sigma composition that we're
8467s	seeing ourselves now so a bit funny
8469s	going from semi-final one where we saw
8471s	you know the team from China and South
8473s	Korea Duke get out on these Winston
8474s	doomfist heavy dive compositions into a
8477s	second semi-final but I think we'll just
8479s	expect Sigma
8481s	throughout yeah I think this will be a a
8483s	no compositional clash in either semi
8485s	for both the bronze and gold medal
8487s	matches we'll be very exciting to see
8489s	strategically who comes out on top what
8491s	kind of swaps do we see I mean it is a
8493s	great opportunity to show the world that
8495s	you are the very best at that one comp
8497s	to be able to really compare apples to
8499s	apples this is most likely what we will
8501s	be seeing in this very semi-final so
8503s	let's head into our predictions for this
8505s	one I had to give it to the kingdom of
8508s	Saudi Arabia I just really think they've
8509s	been playing lights out they have
8511s	mastered this competition juie and
8513s	quarts have been phenomenal it's going
8516s	to be so scary for Finland to go up
8517s	against this what she said I agree 100%
8521s	I'm going to Kingdom of Saudi AR Arabia
8522s	as well you know I I don't know that
8524s	we've seen enough from these teams to be
8526s	sure I went with the Kingdom of Saudi
8527s	Arabia I feel that neither of them have
8528s	been truly tested truly pushed to their
8530s	limit yet and so I want to see more I
8532s	think Finland very much has a chance
8534s	here but I went with the Kingdom of
8535s	Saudi Arabia yeah so did I I went with
8536s	Saudi Arabia to win this one two dark
8538s	horses but Finland is like the darker
8541s	horse of two I got Sor winning this one
8545s	color theory with Donnie here on the
8547s	desk we talk more about that after the
8549s	match maybe probably not for now we are
8552s	ready to meet the
8555s	teams and let's bring out your first
8557s	team to the stage put your hands
8559s	together for the Kingdom of Saudi
8565s	Arabia this team they play with so much
8568s	confidence they're coming on the stage
8569s	with swagger because they haven't been
8571s	touched so far in the World Cup they
8573s	have been destroying all comers ready to
8575s	take on anything that Finland brings
8577s	[Music]
8581s	here definitely exciting to see
8583s	especially for me UB and quartz on this
8585s	DPS Duo a lot they can put out in the
8587s	mirror this may the walls is going to be
8589s	crucial the team play it's got to be
8591s	tight to take on Finland if you slip up
8593s	Finland will punish you so the Kingdom
8595s	of Saudi Arabia they've got to play well
8596s	here
8598s	[Music]
8599s	and their opponents team
8605s	fin the stoic solid vins coming in here
8609s	to the semi-final matchup playing with a
8611s	bit of spirit from sappi froggy old
8615s	OverWatch Legends of course who had a
8617s	really good performance back in 2016 now
8620s	that was 7 years ago can this new
8622s	generation of finished Talent bring it
8625s	to Saudi Arabia and perhaps qualify for
8627s	the the Grand Final I'm sure we're in
8630s	for a treat and here to take us through
8632s	all the action our lemon kiwi and
8635s	necr thank you so much Zoe I'm so
8638s	excited for our second and final
8640s	semifinal oh my God against two amazing
8644s	teams one that has already claimed the
8646s	throne and the other who is a big Dark
8649s	Horse in this bracket exactly I mean KSA
8652s	they've already called themselves
8653s	Champions especially on a stage like
8655s	this in Finland they're here to prove to
8658s	everybody that they're not a team to be
8660s	underestimated but what makes this match
8662s	even more exciting is that both of these
8664s	teams have some history playing against
8666s	each other in European contenders so
8668s	they're very familiar with their play
8670s	Styles their Tendencies and that adds an
8673s	extra Dimension to this match
8676s	today and we're expecting a mere matchup
8679s	like both these teams dominated in their
8682s	quarterfinals based off of well they
8684s	have very experienced Sigma players on
8686s	the tank rules and they were facing off
8688s	against teams that preferred the orisa
8690s	now we could really kind of break that
8692s	down as a compositional difference is
8694s	the desk has been talking time and time
8696s	again how strong Sigma is in the meta
8698s	right now both these teams have put on a
8701s	masterclass performance on Sigma May
8703s	Bastion that's what I'm really expecting
8705s	to see on control we saw highlighted
8708s	plays though from the symmetra and how
8710s	good these teams were around
8711s	coordinating that and it'll be
8712s	interesting to see whether or not the
8714s	symmetra comes out in this particular
8716s	matchup especially because we're going
8718s	over to Sanctuary there's a lot of
8721s	different areas you have to try to
8722s	control and whether or not that symmetra
8724s	comes into play will help you to be able
8727s	to close the distance one big thing that
8729s	we ended up seeing yesterday as well
8731s	from KSA is when they ended up playing
8734s	in their matchup they did bring out the
8736s	junkeri just saw KSA hover over it but I
8740s	don't believe they're going to bring it
8741s	out here today because it was really a
8743s	rock paper scissors against the
8745s	Reinhardt that they ended up playing
8747s	against so it is going to be more of the
8749s	mirror well our second semifinal is
8751s	ready the doors are open here we go it's
8756s	the May symmetra from Finland I love
8758s	this roster because cloud and sauna can
8760s	trade that may Ru so they have so many
8762s	compositions available Finland have
8764s	already taken control of drum KSA are
8768s	heading to the other side counter
8770s	rotating to have some form of shelter
8772s	and Finland are on their tail and what
8774s	Finland really want to do here is close
8776s	the distance KS is forcing them to have
8778s	to use their cool Downs to get close but
8781s	cour is opening things up with a big
8782s	pick and that's the I mean the fact that
8785s	KS they have a SoJO and they have a lot
8787s	of good range DPS with the m not
8789s	discounting what Sonic can do those
8791s	Symetra right clicks are so good but
8794s	quartz has been a highlight thus far
8795s	making that three picks for KSA and
8799s	Finland are down for the count will be
8801s	seen before as sauna pick up this
8803s	Soldier role so it's possible that as
8805s	the match progresses we may see SA try
8807s	to pick that up in order to have those
8809s	DPS tools against quartz quartz has been
8812s	able to open up these fights so well in
8814s	the quarterfinals the group stage just
8816s	getting instant picks with something
8818s	like the sojourn and that's something
8819s	that Finland are going to have to be
8821s	very cautious of so Cloud using those
8823s	May walls a bit reactively so that
8826s	Finland can get through to the point a
8828s	little bit better Finland are trying to
8831s	place this teleporter and this is why
8833s	you play The Sim you want a gas Clos and
8835s	they play the at Matrix they I like KSA
8838s	he seems to be okay and even y throws
8840s	the blizzard in their face and Finland
8841s	were able to disengage you have the ice
8843s	block from cloud no one really got
8845s	frozen by that finin took the pressure
8848s	well even though the ant Matrix didn't
8850s	catch KSA too much speaking of that
8852s	surette places his good May wolf from
8855s	cloud the block most of that and quartz
8857s	is left unattended on this off angle air
8860s	Matrix plus over clock the equation
8862s	equals Death oh look at that too hak is
8865s	just going to help courtz try to follow
8867s	up those picks and despite the best
8869s	effort from Finland and opening things
8871s	up to have that Personnel Advantage KSA
8874s	is going to be able to maintain control
8876s	of this point and Finland now going to
8878s	try to retake with this gravitic flux
8881s	Great Barrier from Haku even though it
8883s	was only a Twan flux KSA are happy to
8886s	invest that and they're Flawless thus
8888s	far they just have to read where this
8890s	Finland symmetra teleporter is Finland
8893s	have been placing it though right in
8894s	front of KSA their objective is using
8897s	Cloud May wall to isolate KSA
8901s	specifically that tank is a problem here
8903s	is the flux and the respawning sound
8906s	bear there from bxa but Finland are very
8908s	low Cloud manages to get the blizzard
8910s	off at 2 Hp and the immortality from
8912s	Mickey greatly placed to allow that to
8915s	happen KSA had to give up a lot of real
8917s	estate and Finland are on the board look
8919s	at the photon barrier 2 is going to help
8921s	keep Finland safe and hopefully keep
8922s	control this point for now KSA as soon
8926s	as this wall drops they could be trying
8927s	to open up with an amplification Matrix
8929s	keep an eye on what quz is doing doesn't
8931s	want to be too eager on this off angle
8934s	waits to see what KSA does and what call
8936s	he makes at Matrix from sirmed V is very
8940s	far forward how long can Finland defend
8942s	this it's 92 for KSA and there's another
8946s	ant matrix it's time for Mickey and KSA
8949s	seem to be okay but they have to deal
8951s	with besta who's just putting in so much
8954s	damage and F Lino ramping up and son
8957s	melting the faces of KSA who now has to
8960s	head for the hills something that we saw
8962s	Finland do yesterday was use the
8964s	symmetric teleporters to bait and switch
8966s	you put one down maybe it draws away the
8969s	focus fire of KSA so that Finland can
8971s	focus on the real objective which is
8973s	going to continue to be marking down KSA
8976s	on the sigma so that you don't have a
8977s	Frontline presence in the Sigma versus
8980s	Sigma it's really important to have the
8982s	upper hand with a stronger front line
8984s	and that's something that vesa is going
8986s	to be battling out to have for Finland
8988s	fors has the overclock he's maybe might
8991s	have been detected because of those
8992s	symmetra turrets but he may H be behind
8995s	that Pista shield fors with the
8997s	overclock keep an eye on what picks he
8999s	can get now the blizzard is thrown cloud
9002s	is down before he could use his blizzard
9004s	he was at 92 and Haku actually got his
9007s	sound beor canceled I believe and Masa
9009s	was able to unleash his lot of suain
9012s	from Finland but as soon as that goes
9013s	away KSA kick him in the dirt they're
9017s	about to take back the points and 92
9019s	it's not a lot of time for Finland to
9021s	touch I don't think they can touch
9023s	they're going to have to send someone to
9024s	Blink onto the point but KSA are ready
9028s	and that's going to be it that's the
9029s	first point for KSA 100 to 89 that is
9034s	close in that sound barrier difference
9036s	at the end that could have been what
9038s	swung the whole fight really and truly I
9041s	mean KSA and honestly just looking at
9043s	the lucios on both sides we can really
9045s	celebrate what Haku and Masa have been
9047s	able to accomplish for both of their
9049s	teams Masa especially has really
9052s	impressed me with the timing of those
9054s	sound barriers and that's something that
9056s	Finland has been able to take so much
9058s	advantage of sadly Haku did lose the
9060s	sound barrier in that last engagement
9062s	but KSA played so well knowing that that
9066s	ultimate was lost what some what KSA are
9069s	really good at is giving up that space
9072s	knowing that the end goal is to take it
9074s	back and keep control of that objective
9077s	it's time to head downtown lot of speed
9080s	trying to take over Mega but ASA was
9082s	maybe trying to set up a teleporter he
9084s	just gets beam down an early Advantage
9086s	for KSA and speaking of KSA he's been
9089s	stunned up good grasp now he's out of
9091s	cool Downs Finland are trying to retreat
9095s	KSA CAU on their Trail and the May wall
9098s	is so beautiful from UB Finland managed
9101s	to defend themselves with their own May
9103s	wall and survive only dropping one
9106s	member at that Mickey 2 with a perfectly
9108s	timed immortality field on top of the
9110s	May wall to help keep Finland safe
9113s	despite that KSA are still able to get
9115s	control of this point first and so the
9117s	onus is on Finland here to try to break
9119s	down that bunker behind that point all
9121s	right point is for KSA Finland going for
9124s	the flip the am Matrix from Mickey
9127s	trying to push by KSA with Sur on an off
9130s	angle pass the shield of besta pass the
9133s	eyes of Finland it's KSA still in the
9135s	driver's seat and now they have the
9137s	amplification Matrix to work with as
9139s	well all the damage they did to poke
9142s	down Finland during that first fight has
9144s	netted them three four ultimates to use
9147s	in this next one so KSA have a lot of
9150s	different tools to work with here I
9152s	wonder if sir maette is going to want to
9154s	pop the window early but Finland managed
9156s	to grab shelter instead sauna did
9160s	teleport the team across everyone is
9162s	grouped up together KSA could have a
9164s	huge flux here no accre to worry about
9166s	out manages to lift some of fining gets
9169s	them low has them separated and Cloud
9172s	was exposed KSA are surrounding Finland
9177s	and tearing them apart that's going to
9179s	be another fight for KSA there they even
9182s	throw the blizzard on top just as an
9184s	insurance policy and KSA are quickly
9187s	finding themselves in that last fight
9189s	territory if they're able to take this
9191s	up all the way they get a chance to
9193s	secure this first map and they still
9195s	have alss to SP Finland are just working
9198s	up to some of their first ones and
9200s	especially when it comes down to Moss's
9202s	sound barrier that is critical in this
9204s	next fight courtz can shut down a lot of
9207s	the offense from Finland with that
9208s	Photon barrier cloud has been separated
9211s	and Finland jump on their prey the sound
9214s	bears are exchanged to help by their
9215s	team but the Blizzard from cloud shuts
9217s	down that main choke and KSA have
9220s	already lost one and now two it's not
9223s	looking good for KSA to keep defending
9225s	this but I feel feel like the effort was
9227s	there the work has been done they're at
9230s	99% KSA just need one fight to win the
9233s	map it's going to be a little while
9235s	before they can find that fight win
9236s	though surette is going to have the
9238s	amplification Matrix but not necessarily
9241s	maybe enough damage to overcome what
9244s	Finland has for this defense especially
9246s	when Mickey can pop down the
9247s	amplification Matrix of his own and you
9250s	have the phon barrier just so much
9251s	sustain on the side of Finland to keep
9254s	control of this
9255s	point
9257s	Matrix staring down Finland who defend
9259s	themselves with the sauna sound barrier
9260s	and KSA are just going to go inside the
9263s	building they're not going to even
9264s	chance getting picked cuz that's how
9266s	Finland were able to swing that fight
9268s	last time now that those ultimates are
9270s	out of the way it's the flux from bista
9272s	that I'm looking for and they all
9273s	teleport right in front of him the meal
9275s	is served up but he wants to make sure
9277s	that he gets enough space between them
9279s	so he doesn't get stunned and really the
9281s	finlet from poke is what's winning this
9283s	so far you just saw the KSA accretion
9286s	best solo could go for the flu but
9288s	Finland don't need to use ultimates that
9291s	is great patience that is a lot of
9293s	economy for them as well something that
9295s	they were lacking earlier on in downtown
9298s	and now Finley get a chance to save that
9300s	graphitic flux for an even more
9301s	important fight something that both of
9303s	these teams are doing really well
9305s	especially to manage the mirror is those
9307s	immortality field timings can they get
9309s	that skill down before going in with
9312s	something that's a little bit more
9313s	hard-hitting like that gravitic flux
9315s	what's Mickey doing up there
9317s	he's cooking let him cook let him cook
9319s	let him hang up there KSA are below do
9322s	they know that bird is up there KSA can
9326s	also just well teleport out UB trying to
9329s	extend outside of the shield has to be
9331s	careful he's been a target of that focus
9334s	and Finland teleport to The High Ground
9336s	drop the blizzard Let It Rain On KSA and
9340s	Finland that creativity is what's
9343s	winning them to fight the 0 to 100
9345s	comeback Finland are doing it what the
9348s	blizzard the slow from KSA is slowly
9351s	turning this fight the S Bear from KSA
9354s	they send their way to the point and
9356s	it's overtime and Finland they have just
9358s	choked this comeback that they were
9361s	generating oh my gosh the overtime is
9363s	going to be in effect here M gets an
9365s	important pick onto up which is a main
9367s	source of damage for KSA but KSA is back
9370s	with this gravitic blux but not before
9372s	Finland reinforcements can come through
9374s	reinforcements are back but KSA the
9377s	double kill hit DPS too much to handle
9381s	and KSA deny the comeback and take map
9385s	number
9386s	one what a close map number one that
9390s	really was though we saw the 189% on
9394s	that very first point of sanctuary and
9396s	almost saw the reverse sweep coming
9398s	through for Finland what a phenomenal
9401s	first map we have in our hands here and
9403s	this match is much closer than people
9405s	might have expected effed it's such a
9407s	chess match this is the really sport
9409s	that we're casting right now with the
9411s	symmetras you have to constantly
9413s	watching your back where they're going
9416s	and then you had what Finland teleport
9418s	on top of KSA that is probably one of
9421s	the coolest blizzards I've ever seen
9423s	Mickey was cooking something and he made
9426s	the call join the party up here I've got
9428s	an idea I mean he had even better
9430s	Sidelines though on the team from that
9432s	position too so you can invest so much
9434s	more healing resource and especially if
9436s	someone might not be looking at you
9438s	maybe you get some pop shots from behind
9440s	too but Finland what beautiful execution
9444s	of this composition but the same can be
9446s	said for KSA honestly that's what make
9448s	mirror matches so exciting is you get a
9450s	chance to look at those micro decisions
9452s	that do make this matchup very exciting
9455s	and from we what we saw from the South
9457s	Korea versus Team from China when
9459s	they're playing uh other things like
9460s	your winstons and whatnot maybe we can
9462s	start to say that these are the two best
9464s	Sigma teams we were excited to see see
9466s	how the mirror match up goes cuz now you
9468s	can't blame the composition it's about
9470s	execution it's about mechanics and these
9472s	teams went toe to- toe 100 to 89 to 100
9476s	to 99 on both rounds where Finland were
9478s	just this close to making the 0 to 100
9482s	come back Finland have this choice of
9484s	MTH they want to go to Blizzard World
9486s	well how perfect is that when we're at
9488s	BlizzCon right now it does feel like
9490s	blizzard World here it really does but
9492s	it's amazing we'll see everybody come
9494s	together to celebrate all of these
9496s	blizzard titles but especially for
9498s	blizzard world this is a great Sigma map
9502s	you are able to get so far especially
9505s	looking at that first choke point and
9507s	that Sigma Shield can be so beneficial
9509s	to help you do that KSA made uh Team USA
9513s	looks silly on this map this was a big
9516s	map for them that decided that series
9518s	and this is where symmetra it's hard to
9520s	execute because of how long range that
9522s	first point is you might think oh use a
9525s	symmetric teleporter to get Gap Clos but
9527s	if there's a limit on how far you can go
9529s	with that teleporter and that's how
9530s	teams like USA and others really
9533s	suffered when depending on that symmetra
9535s	and how KSA were so good at playing that
9537s	space previously and that timing has to
9539s	be really good right especially when you
9541s	consider the fact that maybe you need
9544s	the sigma Shield to help protect you
9546s	that symmetric teleporter can be a bit
9548s	predictive so you can really get ahead
9550s	of things when you see that symmetric
9552s	teleporter get laid down I know it feels
9555s	like KSA are the big favorites here
9557s	right but Finland have made them sweat
9561s	and you know control can be all types of
9563s	chaos and after what we saw I believe it
9566s	but this is finland's choice of map
9569s	which is surprising because KSA also
9571s	looked really good going up against USA
9573s	where at some point they almost got full
9575s	held right so it was almost losable
9577s	ended up being winnable for them it's a
9580s	really back and forth M it's always
9582s	winnable isn't it that's true that's the
9584s	type of spirit that we need and Finland
9587s	they've been at in this position before
9590s	being at the top of the world cup and
9592s	for Saudi Arabia this is the best
9595s	iteration this is the best team we've
9597s	seen from them and they I mean we've
9599s	talked about how they are so confident
9601s	to be making that grand final but the
9603s	competition waiting for them too no
9606s	slouches yeah absolutely not but
9608s	finland's definitely giving them a run
9610s	for their money and when you look at
9612s	this new age roster it's hard not to
9615s	notice some of those new talent that are
9618s	really helping them to be able to secure
9620s	this spot and maybe even secure the
9622s	Victory and one of those talents that we
9624s	want to Spotlight is Mickey so let's
9626s	take a
9626s	[Music]
9645s	look
9650s	well we're gonna we're well he he looked
9654s	really good he looked really good
9656s	talking there he looked he probably had
9658s	some really nice things to say but we're
9659s	going to work on that and get back to
9661s	that a little bit later as we focus on
9662s	the task at hand which is going to be
9664s	Finland coming back into this
9666s	match yeah I don't think they have too
9668s	much to change I think it's just about
9670s	the ultimates maybe I saw a little bit
9672s	of hesitation I call it patience if it's
9675s	a good play I call it hesitation if it's
9677s	bad where at some points I wanted to see
9680s	Vesta really pull the trigger on some of
9682s	these fluxes either before the symmetra
9685s	teleporter you maybe want to take the
9686s	initiative before the KSA setup is there
9689s	or you maybe try to read where that
9691s	teleporter is going and have the flux
9693s	ready when they're all trying to take it
9696s	that could be a nice group up play yeah
9698s	the immortality field does throw a bit
9699s	of a wrench into that though right
9701s	because that is such an important skill
9703s	for that Baptist to use and it has to be
9705s	perfectly
9707s	timed it's going to be really
9709s	interesting to see how they can weave
9710s	that together and whether or not we can
9712s	actually see uh Vesta take that
9714s	initiative but KSA they play a really
9717s	aggressive game especially when you've
9719s	got such a good backline to really help
9721s	you out we're going to see labda get
9723s	subed in for Haku so you can expect to
9725s	see that double Flex support come
9727s	through with the Baptist and the allari
9729s	a sending love to everyone home and
9732s	everyone in the arena double Flex is on
9736s	the menu and of course Masa stays in
9739s	because you know the Lucio
9742s	speed it's very valuable it's valuable
9745s	but you know what damage is what kills
9747s	people that's true that's what the
9749s	double Flex support will be used for and
9751s	labda is actually a DPS player where we
9754s	were hoping to see you know the echo the
9756s	far but the way that players show up at
9758s	World Cup and are able to just Flex to
9761s	anything is great to see he's that
9762s	Baptist player he really is and then
9764s	that allows Sur maed to pick up the
9766s	arari and when we ended up seeing him on
9769s	the professional stage something that
9770s	sir maed is so good at is being able to
9773s	find these frags and arari what a
9775s	perfect hero for his skill set in
9777s	particular knowing that he has that
9779s	mechanical skill so labda surmed such a
9783s	dynamic duo to help really burst down
9785s	team Finland and you got to give credit
9787s	to Mickey I know we didn't get to hear
9789s	from this interview but the fact that
9791s	he's going he's competitive with someone
9793s	like sir maette on that Baptist roll his
9796s	amplification matrixes you have to be on
9798s	it when it comes to these immortality
9800s	Fields a lot of weight rests on your
9803s	shoulders if you can salvage a fight
9805s	when the opponent is throwing everything
9807s	at you and his reaction times have been
9809s	so good but even just the rest of the
9811s	players on team Finland fantastic shout
9814s	out because not just Mickey but also
9816s	Cloud Vesta these are players that have
9819s	performed so well in the current seasons
9822s	of European contenders and there
9824s	definitely no slap ouches when it comes
9826s	to also the team coordination but a big
9829s	change up we're seeing here from Team
9831s	Finland is on the defense they don't
9833s	want to go for that symmetra play they
9835s	want to make sure that they can have
9836s	that stability that bunker all of that
9839s	poke and that's something that SAA is
9841s	really going to provide here on that
9842s	Bastion and a lot of time the when it
9845s	comes to hit skins you're seeing a lot
9847s	of souljourn or Bastion and the question
9849s	is do you want to sacrifice Mobility for
9851s	DPS sauna and you pointed it out you
9854s	don't need to move around that's why you
9856s	don't need the symmetra that's why you
9857s	go for the Bastion KSA are the ones that
9859s	have to approach them they use the
9861s	symmetra they're going to have the so
9862s	which has that extra dump you can get to
9864s	high grounds how far does quartz want to
9866s	play from the team though quartz could
9868s	take an off angle here that's such a
9871s	great point because you can just wrap
9872s	around to the back of the point you've
9874s	got the symmetric teleporter on the KSA
9876s	side and a great use of it too after you
9879s	bullied Finland off of that high ground
9881s	it's much safer to move in Finland were
9883s	a bit slow to rotate where KSA were
9885s	teleporting too and sauna unleashing but
9889s	great grasp from KSA to eat up a lot of
9891s	that damage as KSA are trying to take
9893s	angles around surad and quartz they are
9897s	mechanically Supreme and Finland are
9900s	getting surrounded and devour they
9903s	really did get collaps on there and
9905s	ksa's approach was so smart you take The
9908s	High Ground away from Finland you force
9909s	them to have to walk all the way down
9911s	those stairs and while you do that take
9913s	the teleporter move into point and get
9915s	those off angles set up KSA now get a
9918s	chance to unlock the payload but Finland
9920s	get a chance to set up on this High
9922s	Ground Finland giving up the Bastion for
9926s	the symmetra now it's time to move
9928s	around a little bit okay that one was
9930s	right in front of the card I think that
9931s	got destroyed but Plan B hold the choke
9934s	there's actually the option of even
9935s	sneaking up behind them but that's being
9937s	marked by lavda and quartz they try to
9940s	simply try to use the May wall to see if
9942s	they can get that soier player locked in
9944s	but they managed to Escape so Finland go
9947s	back to holding the choke and KSA pops
9950s	his head around the corner getting
9951s	information and that's the type of
9953s	presence that front line that KSA need
9955s	to have and quartz and sted can have all
9958s	the space in the world to hit the frag
9961s	that they are and Finland just well they
9964s	get run over and so rough because if
9966s	Finland gets stuck in a small room like
9968s	that there's not too many places you can
9970s	escape to so KSA have a lot of space to
9973s	work with and they're also able to take
9975s	that territorial control KSA Also let's
9978s	not forget the fact that they have five
9980s	ultimates to use and they haven't needed
9982s	to expend anything in order to get this
9985s	cart already close to that second
9988s	objective KSA able to get behind Finland
9993s	is such a boon and why you chose those
9995s	Heroes Finland are running a SoJO it's a
9997s	little bit more difficult for them to
9999s	get up there KSA by the way are sailing
10001s	away with the cards they have the ant
10003s	Matrix the photon barrier they get
10005s	slowed down by the blizzard KSA are in
10008s	trouble all the ultimates are coming out
10011s	and Finland try to live through it with
10013s	the sound barrier they got to respect
10015s	that space they start to fall back but
10017s	Bola fires back and wins back it's some
10020s	precious space for Finland look at that
10023s	too besta really holding his own against
10025s	the overclock of quartz and that's going
10027s	to be five ultimates that KSA through at
10030s	that final stretch and that's going to
10033s	be ultimate economy in the favor of
10034s	Finland they still have the
10036s	amplification Matrix they still have the
10038s	photon barrier to work with and now KSA
10041s	are back to the drawing board and
10043s	especially where the card is right now
10045s	that's where you want to invest those
10046s	resources but the fact that they lost
10048s	that fight it's going to be another
10050s	minute and a half 2 minutes before they
10051s	can get another Full Slate online uh
10054s	chos been split from each other they
10056s	teleported to Across the field and
10059s	Finland want to take advantage they've
10061s	already isolated a member and an
10063s	amplification Matrix is thrown out just
10065s	to guarantee that kill Finland have
10067s	great awareness at sniffing out these
10070s	mistakes from KSA it's just going to be
10072s	clean up here as well as Finland still
10075s	only using the amplification Matrix now
10077s	get a chance to buy themselves more time
10079s	to cycle through some of these other
10081s	ultimates and get them online to pair
10083s	with this Photon barrier Cloud
10085s	especially on that may one of the things
10086s	that's been so stand out about him on
10088s	this hero is the way that they've used
10090s	that blizzard you pointed out yesterday
10092s	how Cloud was able to use those a bit
10094s	more defensively bit more reactively to
10096s	help by Finland some space but you can
10099s	use them a bit more proactively in this
10102s	instance when you know KSA is a bit more
10104s	aggressive of a team and they like to
10106s	try to meet you in the middle this point
10108s	B is so large but what an opening pick
10111s	if you can depend on quartz KSA will be
10115s	just fine he's been so consistent now
10117s	actually getting behind the defense
10119s	Cloud knows he has to take the fight
10120s	quickly he throws the blizzard down KSA
10123s	have only lost their tank and KSA are
10126s	surrounding Finland it's up to quartz to
10128s	turn the fight and all the Ducks are in
10131s	a row for quartz to a Finland and it's
10134s	working out KSA will be capping me I
10138s	guess you don't need any ultimates if
10139s	you're just able to get the frags and so
10141s	KSA able to capture that point B and
10144s	start to make their way through to the
10147s	final checkpoint they have 3 minutes to
10150s	work with Finland expending quite a few
10152s	ultimates in that last fight and so KSA
10155s	like especially when you look at the
10156s	straightaway here quartz's overclock
10158s	could just go nuts how Mata uses a sound
10161s	barrier here is critical when you have a
10163s	flux coming up but so many more dangers
10165s	on KSA and overclock and Matrix captive
10168s	Sun MAA doesn't want to use the barrier
10171s	he lets this team die as KSA shine again
10176s	what a great preservation of that sound
10178s	barrier too because in this instance you
10181s	want to make sure that you have the
10182s	sustain for this final push get out as
10184s	many ultimates as as you can that's
10185s	going to be three off the board for KSA
10188s	but cor still has that overclock and
10190s	where is he hiding he's waiting for the
10193s	perfect opportunity to pounce yep
10195s	looking around there go they left the
10198s	timing of that teleporter from sauna but
10201s	they're all grouped up for a flux from
10203s	KSA f are low but they have enough they
10206s	have enough protection but they don't
10208s	the defense has to hurry MAA still
10211s	hasn't dropped barrier and now it's only
10213s	a two man k almost got to the Finish
10216s	Line they have 2 minutes this is a
10218s	massive time bank and finin are using an
10220s	a matrix but Mickey is dead the solar
10224s	Camp FL and KSA race to the
10228s	end that allari healing pile on in this
10231s	final moments too this is why surad not
10234s	only can frag out on that hero but can
10236s	also help to keep the team alive that
10238s	healing Pilon was too difficult for
10240s	Finland to take down because of where it
10242s	was on that wall and so so was
10246s	aane that's still a very very good part
10249s	of aari's kid well maybe I go back to my
10252s	hesitation uh line about Finland I was
10255s	talking about the Masa sound barrier
10257s	they teleported into a high ground
10259s	position right above KSA where you were
10261s	expecting maybe a barrier Tempo engage
10264s	they sat up there hoping they could get
10265s	initial damage maybe a pick something
10268s	and it was KSA that just waved goodbye
10271s	at them took the car got to the end and
10273s	Finland were too slow to react they
10275s	almost got C9 and then the ultimates
10278s	eventually came out by Finland but it
10281s	didn't matter so much credit to KSA
10284s	though because Finland wouldn't be
10285s	struggling in those positions if KSA
10288s	wasn't splitting their attention you saw
10291s	where courts was with that overclock he
10293s	was waiting in the wings to be able to
10295s	just NAB Finland from behind but then
10299s	what do you do right because Finland
10300s	sniffed that out they needed to kite
10302s	away and KSA decided to to Switcheroo on
10306s	them yeah and then cords had all the
10308s	space in the world just sit in their
10310s	spawn and say if you die you're going to
10313s	die again and if you're still living I'm
10315s	going kill you again so quartz has been
10317s	just that impactful for KSA a twom
10320s	minute time bank for them Finland got to
10323s	hope to match that or it will be a KSA
10326s	Match Point Finland trying to take very
10329s	hidden route some Metro teleporter where
10332s	are they going they won't have a crazy
10334s	amount of PS not running that Bastion
10336s	they go to the opposite High ground and
10338s	now are trying to rotate behind that
10340s	defense yeah that Sigma Shield too to be
10342s	able to help keep Tim Finland alive and
10345s	now they get a chance to rotate towards
10346s	the back of point but KSA they're
10348s	backing up from this Cloud though finds
10349s	a great opening pick that's a lot of
10351s	healing removed not head shot that's not
10354s	something that sured could rotate out of
10356s	in time too slow to the count first tick
10360s	no for Finland KSA how do they retake
10362s	this they haven't taken much damage not
10365s	much healing there's no ultimates and
10367s	Cloud May walls him and almost forces
10369s	the C9 KSA steps on but he's getting
10372s	Rock to the floor his grasp is barely
10375s	keeping him up and he actually gets body
10377s	blocks from escaping Finland within the
10380s	first fight which they didn't even
10381s	really need to take a fight CA the point
10384s	look at that too and K going to get
10386s	staggered here course is stuck behind
10388s	the team he's hoping to take somebody
10390s	down with him but it's not going to
10392s	happen Mickey's going to be able to get
10393s	back into this fight so quickly but what
10396s	an impressive time bang for team Finland
10398s	to work with here 5 minutes for the
10400s	second objective they're going to be
10402s	getting ultimates online and maybe this
10403s	is the snowball that team Finland need
10406s	they want the wind in their sails to be
10407s	able to get through the second point
10409s	which is as you said very large lot of
10413s	territory here yeah this point B is so
10416s	difficult cuz the defense can just keep
10417s	falling back and falling back and
10419s	attacking with Sigma is difficult you
10421s	have to keep readjusting the shield you
10424s	have to play Cor ERS to have your grasp
10426s	back to regenerate that Shield the
10428s	accretion and porn to maybe push back an
10431s	opposing Sigma Finland are playing the
10433s	low ground and actually UB drops KSA are
10436s	going to have to protect him he has the
10438s	shield up but the amplification Matrix
10440s	is dropped by Mickey and Finland are
10442s	still pushing the cart KSA have to stop
10445s	this the sustain from MAA it's enough
10447s	for Finland to keep braing to the end
10450s	KSA can only protect themselves for so
10452s	long they'll have an acre spot because
10454s	of the Photon barrier but now the
10456s	blizzard is thrown in their face what a
10458s	play from cloud and the cap is almost
10461s	there cap the son from sted Finland
10464s	still have all the kills and KSA only
10466s	the only Advantage they have is respawn
10470s	they might get those responds though of
10471s	course is going to be coming back on the
10472s	Widowmaker hoping to be able to get a
10476s	pick to be able to help KSA hold on to
10478s	this one but KSA are running out of time
10481s	the emergency Widow has been brought out
10483s	it gets a head shot on to sauna and
10486s	enough damage but when the rest of the
10488s	team are dead it doesn't work out
10490s	Finland are the bullies this C just did
10494s	not stop 5 minutes for Point C look at
10497s	that too I mean Masa is just a problem
10500s	right now and court is now again stuck
10502s	Behind Enemy Lines where it's going to
10504s	get taken down that Widowmaker though
10506s	almost saved the day for KSA even did
10509s	enough damage they're going to be able
10511s	to get those sights online but quartz
10513s	has to switch back give it up those
10515s	sights are not going to be valuable in
10517s	this third point when you know where
10518s	team finland's going to be they're going
10520s	to be playing around this teleporter and
10522s	there's the flux oh saa's in trouble the
10525s	flux slams him down wi an immortality
10527s	from Vickey but have to sacrifice his
10529s	life for it and with the supports of
10531s	Finland missing they just will not be
10534s	able to keep up this Avalanche but it's
10537s	KSA that jumped around the corner and
10539s	lived and fired with such a great flux
10542s	this is a dangerous position for this
10544s	card to be for team Finland KSA are able
10547s	to play around so many of these Corners
10549s	take a look at the healing pylon
10550s	placement just behind that left wall and
10553s	KSA can take a lot of angles quartz able
10556s	to easily jump back to the team but
10558s	Finland moving on this Finland
10560s	teleported up to quartz and didn't
10562s	really commit to the push immortality's
10564s	been used besta has to go big here with
10566s	the peric flux and gets the support low
10570s	lapa is gone but so with Cloud it's the
10572s	4v4 but a sound be finish for Finland
10575s	captive Sun just focused on Mickey but
10577s	sur's not hitting the shots to get the
10580s	execution Finland are halfway to see
10583s	with a 330 time B quartz with the double
10586s	kill though with turning this for the
10588s	defense has the overclock if he wants to
10591s	invest it but smartly is going to save
10593s	it for this next engage and with how
10596s	much Finland needs to close the gap
10598s	you're really ex you're just depending
10601s	on this sauna teleporter and also all of
10604s	this different building angle to work
10606s	with Cloud also looking for an
10608s	opportunity to try to build up that
10610s	blizzard a great way to create space for
10613s	this team and also with that area of
10615s	effect with such Close Quarters I don't
10618s	think Finland managed to get the
10619s	teleporter down or at least it was a
10621s	fake play quartz is behind with an
10623s	overclock Mickey marks it he's going to
10625s	counter rotate towards his tank KSA go
10627s	for a pinch play and CZ is sliding into
10631s	his own death thought that KSA were
10633s	going to go on the other side that was a
10636s	mistake U protects his team though with
10638s	the photon barrier so KSA have their
10641s	half of the map KSA is free to go for
10644s	the flux and cloud is using the ice
10647s	block but SAA doesn't have that kind of
10650s	survivability the Blizzard from cloud is
10652s	thrown thinking that fight was winnable
10655s	and I don't know if it is ooh it just
10658s	might be Masa fer is still alive the
10661s	healing pylon is down and everybody on
10664s	KS is going to have to back up and
10666s	Scatter you do not want to get taken
10669s	down here especially when the card is
10670s	getting so close to the finish line but
10672s	sto is going to have to be careful
10673s	though because he's getting very low but
10675s	he's buying time for his team to come
10677s	back and hopefully just sink this
10678s	payload over the line Finland just can't
10680s	give it up now they're so close to the
10682s	end Boton barrier separating the map
10685s	here for Finland this down barrier to
10688s	it's all sides go finet the green light
10691s	to the end KSA are overwhelmed they try
10695s	to escape but you can't run from Finland
10698s	they cap within minute
10701s	37 he get to go into extra rounds KSA
10705s	have a little bit of a Time Bank
10707s	Advantage but Finland has plenty to work
10709s	with to be able to get ultimates online
10712s	and have a fair shot in these next
10716s	rounds see what they're going to come
10718s	out with Finland were good at once they
10720s	won the first fight they were good at
10722s	winning the second third they have reset
10725s	too much I think there only kind of
10726s	bumps in the road where were Point C
10729s	where they lost most of the time it was
10730s	an insta cap for the initial point a
10732s	point B was a slow grind where KSA had
10735s	some contest but it was just one long
10737s	drawn out fight that KSA couldn't
10739s	contest because they were busy trying to
10741s	flank and get around Finland who were
10744s	winning the Frontline War while KSA were
10746s	having a number disadvantage being all
10748s	over the place so Finland stay organized
10751s	they still have a Time Bank disadvantage
10753s	though uh but not by a huge amount yeah
10756s	Finland are so good at playing with
10758s	momentum and what a perfect example of
10761s	what you were just talking about which
10762s	is the focus fire from Team Finland you
10764s	see those teleporters go down may as
10766s	well try to get a predictive shot Vesta
10769s	once again with such an impressive eat
10772s	he's so good at that too he ate a
10774s	Blizzard yesterday of all things right
10776s	and so every single time you you see
10779s	Vesta on the sigma this is just
10781s	continues to be examples of why Vesta is
10784s	considered one of the best Sigma in the
10786s	entire world so fin get a chance to
10789s	attack first Vish is so criminally
10791s	underrated because like he said this is
10794s	his meta didn't get enough time to
10796s	really prove how good he really is
10799s	Finland are going to do the same thing
10800s	us last time teleporting maybe to the
10802s	opposite High Ground maybe trying to
10803s	come around that defense did K did KSA
10807s	have a good memory though I think even
10810s	if they do have a good memory Finland
10812s	were able to pull it off they were able
10814s	to secure this point right away get that
10816s	5minute time bank but Finland with this
10819s	route they do have to take a bit of a
10821s	longer time and now m is down where's
10823s	going to be the speed it was all about
10824s	those pcks last time it was Finland
10826s	picking off surette he was able to
10828s	counter rotate in time knowing exactly
10830s	what Finland had planned with a man down
10833s	Finland tried to retreat and KSA won't
10835s	let that KSA tried to grasp what you
10838s	can't mitigate the damage of the
10839s	symmetra puts out but cor still stands
10842s	tall at the end Finland will have have
10844s	one last chance to get to the point but
10846s	this is where that route comes into play
10848s	it's a little bit longer of a line to
10851s	have to push and so team Finland this is
10855s	why they only have one shot left they
10856s	have to go a different direction and
10858s	that's why you're going to end up seeing
10859s	them go to the left side of the point
10860s	instead but KSA are right there to start
10863s	that poke War quartz is already going to
10865s	be trying to build up to a rail gun
10866s	charge Finland has to get at least the
10869s	take or they'll play for the draw KSA
10871s	giving up a lot of space depending on
10873s	their but that poke Superstar of course
10876s	is down and Finland have set up camp on
10878s	the point they are defied but Finland
10881s	will not be conquered the immortality F
10883s	to save Thea he's using his grasp and
10886s	his shield well KSA throw the blizzard
10888s	in his face now that that grasp is gone
10890s	KSA might have Frozen some members but
10892s	there's no one alive from this defense
10894s	to do anything about it Finland will not
10897s	only get that first hit but a full cap
10900s	and also the fact that they got the
10901s	blizzard out as well ub's going to throw
10903s	it out have to switch over to the
10904s	symmetra wants to be able to win out the
10907s	symmetra duel but mcky was able to hold
10909s	on to that amp Matrix what a great way
10912s	for Finland to be able to buy space and
10914s	time especially as this card starts
10916s	around this corner KSA take The High
10918s	Ground Control so quartz is going to
10920s	have the sight lines but Finland can
10922s	play around that they've got so many
10923s	tools to work with to end up mitigating
10925s	that damage here's the flut from KSA
10928s	tries to fake it with the teleporter
10930s	that's too lifted up Sonic gives them
10932s	options of The High Ground what a great
10934s	Photon bear from sauna to just let them
10936s	have some time to breathe a KFA approach
10939s	and sniff it out it's a blizzard the
10942s	freees KSA solid and Cloud gets the head
10945s	shot onto U and that card is rolling to
10948s	be able to get halfway through this
10950s	second objective but team Finland are
10952s	not going to be stopping quite yet they
10954s	still have this gravitic plug and the
10956s	Ant Matrix to work with and so as you
10958s	search around this corner they're hoping
10959s	that they can just get more and more
10961s	time with this card KSA they running out
10964s	of time to get these ultimates online to
10966s	be able to stop finland's push and like
10968s	I said before once Finland get that ball
10970s	rolling it is hard to stop them and it's
10974s	up to the flux Vesta can float to The
10976s	High Ground just has to get the right
10978s	information the rest of Finland these
10980s	vulnerable members try to stay safe on
10982s	the right side now teleporting forward
10985s	the flux gets some members low there of
10987s	KSA but Finland just focused on the
10989s	objective KSA at least have someone
10991s	contesting that's an improvement of last
10993s	time time and quartz is only focusing
10996s	besta knowing this anchor is what keeps
10999s	this ship afloat for Finland but cloud
11001s	and sonar so low ksa's Focus fires on
11004s	the supports and fitland start to fall
11007s	one by one as KSA Take Back
11012s	Control what a great push from Team
11014s	Finland though KSA had to struggle a
11017s	little bit in that end game to be able
11019s	to remove them from the cart but
11020s	eventually that overtime Wick was going
11022s	to be that final nail for team Finland
11025s	and sadly when they get off the point
11027s	that overtime wi expires so fast a great
11030s	Focus fire there from KSA to stop the
11032s	cart where it was but team Finland they
11034s	took took an inch and turn into a mile
11037s	literally that's a long push for just
11040s	with a minute 20 minute 30 it was only a
11042s	20 second difference but knowing who's
11045s	attacking first is is a big deal and
11048s	Finland have put quite a finish Lan
11051s	quite a win condition for themselves KSA
11055s	have almost been full held before just
11057s	getting to the point is difficult and
11059s	they'll have the symmetra but they have
11061s	different rotations compared to Finland
11063s	Finland went across then behind KSA just
11066s	went forward and split themselves around
11068s	the point and there was courts that
11071s	really needed to land those shots and
11073s	when you have a double Flex support
11074s	versus the Lucio you have surette that
11077s	can't be discounted lari is just a third
11080s	DPS exactly and the healing pylon is
11082s	still going to be up and available just
11085s	to keep healing up the team see if KSA
11089s	though are they going to really try this
11090s	Widowmaker Strat it's like I got to
11092s	practice my aim if they get anyone if
11096s	they get anyone down with this like it's
11098s	game over for this first point oh M's
11102s	head yeah Masa was like I don't I don't
11105s	want that so absolutely Peaks away but
11108s	you can see that team Finland are taking
11109s	the same approach you called out that
11110s	the rotations are different it was
11112s	because team Finland was set up on that
11114s	high ground and KSA are going to try to
11115s	take that away but Finland made a much
11118s	faster rotation this time KSA are split
11121s	they're going to try and surround the
11122s	point like they did last time Finland
11124s	just have to be aware what a May wall
11126s	you be couldn't escape it was a good
11128s	attempt with the teleporter heads up
11130s	play from cloud and now sir maetta is
11133s	dropped and Cloud that would have been
11135s	almost a double kill if he hit that
11137s	icicle now Finland are in trouble cor is
11139s	jumping in that's when you know you're
11141s	in trouble he's on The High Ground and
11143s	Finland have to deal with that first
11145s	it'll be the second tick now for KSA
11148s	recontest available from Finland it's
11150s	taking a hot second though V the gets
11153s	hit by an accre and he can't
11156s	contest oh no that stun was so valuable
11161s	and what vland wanted to do for the
11162s	recit test there they're going to have
11163s	to do around this corner but if they
11165s	lose it here KSA have a lot of time to
11168s	work with it's going to be SAA though oh
11170s	trad's going back and forth wait V also
11174s	used the accretion and knocked KSA away
11176s	from his team these sigas are going back
11179s	and forth KSA only have 30 seconds it's
11183s	last fight territory and quartz needs
11186s	this High Ground he got behind Finland
11188s	last time that is how they won the
11189s	initial choke but Finland are not even
11191s	going to hold the choke they don't want
11193s	to do that because they know if they get
11195s	KSA off the cart even once that's going
11197s	to be the map for them and tie up the
11199s	series but what they don't know it might
11201s	happen is the overclock here cor doesn't
11203s	even have jump how does he live with
11205s	five people jumping on top of him
11207s	captive son though Finland are shining
11209s	great and not in the way they wanted
11212s	that's fair to you KSA move forward
11215s	overtime and box of victory in their
11218s	sight are Finland able to get back in
11220s	time it's up to Masa there's at least
11222s	three on the court the teleporter is
11225s	there but not fast
11227s	enough KSA match
11231s	point two for KSA after such a hard
11235s	bought battle by Finland but the two
11237s	doesn't tell the whole picture here let
11240s	it kiwi this has been so close for both
11242s	of these teams and KSA about to pull out
11245s	all the stops to be able to even get
11247s	that lead right now team Finland though
11249s	they're not out of this fight just yet
11251s	they need to hold their heads high they
11253s	have a chance to get back into this one
11255s	blizzard world is so close yet again
11259s	just these Superstar plays serm the
11262s	night and
11264s	armor the captive Sun that is what made
11268s	the difference that is what one KSA the
11271s	map at any point that KSA had to reset
11274s	that would have been a Finland map win
11276s	we would be in a tie series KSA I think
11280s	the K stands for clutch actually I think
11282s	you're right about that yeah I think
11284s	you're absolutely right about that you
11285s	just got to spell it with the K and
11287s	there you go but talk about clutch
11290s	Factor here KSA especially when their
11292s	back have been against a
11294s	they've been able to come out with the
11295s	mechanical skill necessary in order to
11297s	get those giant picks so I mean take a
11300s	look at this too like Cloud it's able to
11303s	throw the blizzard down and at least
11305s	when he is able to go down like that you
11307s	know Finland is able to kind of take
11309s	full advantage of that and that's
11310s	something that Finland has always
11311s	brought to the table is that strong team
11314s	coordination and you can't do that and
11316s	you can't make that Sigma as successful
11319s	as it can be without that whole team
11321s	behind you I mean cloud has been a stand
11324s	out for me for Finn Lyn he's giving me
11326s	kind of backbone Vibes with how good his
11329s	May is cuz you think about May is kind
11332s	of a utility DPS although a lot of Buffs
11334s	have made her very strong in the damage
11336s	department but you're depending on walls
11338s	you're depending on the Symetra putting
11340s	you in the right position what Cloud's
11342s	poke is rivaling what a soart is able to
11344s	do what Kors is able to do and Cloud
11347s	getting multikills has made Finland be
11349s	able to be this close but Finland are
11351s	staring down the barrel of tournament
11354s	ends they'll have a final map Choice
11356s	it's surasa do finlet still have it in
11359s	them we'll find out after
11373s	[Music]
11382s	this
11423s	[Music]
11448s	[Music]
11455s	[Music]
11474s	[Music]
11481s	[Music]
11490s	[Music]
11532s	he
11552s	the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have not
11555s	dropped a game at the World Cup can they
11558s	continue to be perfect they'll Rise
11562s	Above the Rest and this guy has been the
11565s	night and shining armor for his team
11568s	that one blizzard world and that alari
11571s	made such a difference sired on the
11574s	professional stage has inspired so many
11577s	people whether it has been that
11580s	mechanical skill just just such an
11582s	aggressive play style with an arari or a
11584s	Kito and especially when you have
11586s	somebody like Haku to really help speed
11589s	you around the map that's why Haku is
11591s	going to get subed in here just be able
11593s	to help the team especially on a map
11596s	type like flasho it can be really really
11599s	important to have that speed behind you
11601s	and with a sigma composition if that is
11603s	what they end up running getting into a
11605s	position where you can defend is
11607s	important that speed getting you there
11609s	quicker is always helpful although I do
11612s	miss the double Flex support cuz between
11614s	the Lucio composition and the double
11617s	Flex support of KSA both teams executed
11620s	it so well Finland were good at being
11623s	aggressive always teleporting in their
11625s	face using the speed to overwhelm KSA
11628s	but as soon as KSA had a second had some
11632s	space that's where courtz gets online
11634s	and they just find these picks on the
11636s	Finland and that's what won them the map
11639s	they're so good at waiting for those
11640s	defensive cooldowns to be offline and
11643s	that is the big Difference Maker there
11645s	when KSA is trying to weave in all of
11647s	this damage Saudi Arabia has been really
11649s	good at that and sometimes if you're
11651s	able to overwhelm that offensive
11653s	pressure there just isn't enough sustain
11655s	on the board Masa and Mickey are doing
11657s	so much for their team to help keep that
11660s	sustain online and it's even more
11663s	helpful when you have very
11665s	self-sufficient Heroes like the sigma
11668s	like the May so that you can focus on
11670s	helping to get some frags the junker
11672s	Queen is being
11674s	offered love to run that on control I
11677s	consider flash point to be just baby
11679s	control really is more control hyper
11681s	control hyper control
11683s	yes but it's the sigma that return no
11686s	fasion and no quartz sojourn it's all
11689s	about teleporting onto the enemy team
11691s	and using the utility of the May to
11693s	focus down that Sigma here's that first
11696s	May wall from KSA doesn't get anything
11698s	this Finland wall is a lot better locks
11701s	KSA into a fight that they may not want
11703s	to take and a beautiful boot from Masa
11706s	splits up KSA they get group back up but
11709s	KSA is the little duckling that got left
11711s	behind and now quartz is down and
11714s	Finland have a one man Advantage but
11715s	what a stun from KSA to find the trading
11719s	blow you can see it's 4v4 and Vesta is
11723s	very weak that's why Finland are giving
11725s	up space and Haku making sure that he
11728s	cannot run away and Finland are just
11732s	going to give this up Haku too I mean
11735s	what a guy he was able to put so much
11738s	healing down onto the team with the
11739s	Lucio that KSA stayed alive even if 50
11743s	HP for so many seconds but that was the
11745s	big Difference Maker for KSA to get
11748s	control of this first flash point so now
11751s	Finland I mean talk about Lucio hello
11754s	Masa has a sound barrier online already
11757s	another player that is putting in work
11759s	for the team and that sound Bearer you
11761s	can use very aggressively here to get in
11763s	and try to wrestle this control away
11765s	from Saudi Arabia o and Matrix right in
11768s	finland's face they use the May to
11770s	protect themselves a sound be from Masa
11772s	keeps them anchored in but Finland are
11774s	hesitating they drop away from the U
11777s	blizzard Finland are actually starting
11779s	to win this fight but it's an allout war
11782s	and KSA are at 83 plus% forarts is
11786s	generating so much DPS so is SAA but as
11789s	the dust settles only two members remain
11792s	and it's Finland that flip SAA has been
11794s	placing these symmetra turrets so
11796s	beautifully especially when you expect
11799s	KSA to try to pounce onto that backline
11801s	SAA is already set up those turrets you
11803s	can see how much work they were putting
11805s	in to slow down sir maed making him a
11807s	little bit easier of a Target to try to
11809s	take down and those turrets are also
11811s	softening everybody up so that cloud and
11813s	Sonic can land these shots land these
11815s	beams and just totally chunk people down
11818s	the grassl he Dodges K Dodges the
11821s	accretion and isn't sure how far past
11823s	the photon barrier he wants to go good
11826s	reaction from sauna counter flx from
11828s	besta fidlin are pushing in and ksa's
11831s	backs are against the wall
11833s	can fitland make that 0 to 100 come back
11836s	like they did on control they failed
11837s	last time but one fight away from doing
11840s	just that Mickey's going to have to make
11841s	his way back to the point that's why you
11843s	see Masa going back to taxi him in so
11845s	that they have that full support line
11847s	available because they're going to need
11849s	it KSA at this point ub is going to be
11851s	very close to that blizzard but Cloud
11854s	already has it online so Finland might
11856s	be able to just throw that early and
11858s	lock Saudi Arabia off of this point
11861s	Cloud needs to watch the grasp and just
11863s	places it on the other side of this wall
11865s	when KSA couldn't see it quartz is
11867s	Frozen the ice block from UB is there
11870s	the blizzard is thrown right in front of
11872s	the sigma that was a risk that KSA were
11874s	willing to take fol is actually boosted
11877s	up by the wall and he manages to live
11879s	while being the only one Frozen and
11881s	Finland have made that 0 to 100 comeback
11884s	to win point1 here you go market is now
11887s	under finland's control we get a chance
11889s	to go over to Palace and Finland going
11891s	to use their symmetric torter to be able
11893s	to get there a little bit first this
11895s	allows them time to set up while Saudi
11897s	Arabia are going to make their way
11899s	slowly into the point here you still
11901s	have a few seconds before this flash
11904s	Point's going to unlock so plenty of
11906s	time for Saudi Arabia to also get their
11908s	own setup the biggest Difference Maker
11910s	is that Finland has a lot of different
11912s	walls to work around but Saudi Arabia
11914s	want to try to make this a tiny room
11916s	OverWatch oh man amplification Matrix
11919s	and Mickey is like he's actually going
11921s	to take a solo off angle and the May
11923s	wall from cloud isolates KSA and lines
11927s	up all the dominoes for Mickey to knock
11929s	them down splin have KSA exactly where
11933s	they want him some batist players use
11936s	that amplification Matrix for the team
11938s	but sometimes it's going to be that
11939s	selfish an Matrix that works out even
11941s	better so Mickey able to take that off
11944s	angle use that ant Matrix to boost up
11946s	that damage and KSA just didn't really
11948s	know what hit them in that moment
11950s	Finland too they're able to Wi away at
11953s	this Saudi Arabian front line so that
11956s	Bola has another gravitic flux online
11959s	sauna has this B on be to use reactively
11962s	in these
11963s	engagements and so important to have
11966s	that especially when you know Saudi
11968s	Arabia needs to get up and close oh
11969s	Photon barrier they don't want to
11972s	teleport they just want to try and cap
11973s	this Force Finland down from their high
11976s	horse and Cloud do use the mayw walk to
11978s	contest KSA haven't flipped yet they
11980s	have the sound barrier is this enough
11983s	KSA has to run them down and the Finland
11986s	blizzard could only slow them for so
11988s	long Finland out their backs against the
11990s	wall they're trying to get around KSA
11993s	seran is dead there's barely any heals
11996s	Mickey has now been just taken down and
11998s	the quartz theps is gold for
12002s	KSA oh sauna and quarts are putting in
12005s	so much work with these symmetras
12006s	especially when they are so charged up
12009s	it's going to be really easy for each of
12011s	those symmetras to be able to get those
12012s	takedowns but Finland they did the work
12015s	that they needed to do they have 83% of
12018s	that flash point captured if they want
12020s	to keep themselves in this match this is
12022s	how they do it and SAA still has that
12025s	fulltime barrier which can prove to be
12027s	very valuable when KSA does have that
12030s	gravitic flux online another way to keep
12032s	your team safe without the immortality
12034s	field but Solem made it through he has
12036s	the wall to protect themselves while
12038s	they were separated from the May wall UB
12040s	he's going for the blizzard Boton
12042s	barriers there to help him out and the
12044s	blizzard might just get sauna no he's on
12047s	the edge and he's well protected by his
12049s	May KSA still are so aggressive and
12053s	Finland just can't handle the heat well
12056s	you better get out of the kitchen this
12059s	is ksa's point and they will be matching
12062s	this one to one Palace now being taken
12065s	by Saud Arabia means that we get a
12067s	chance to move on to another flash point
12070s	we'll see where we're moving and whether
12071s	or not F can have Advantage here we're
12073s	going to be getting over to ruins on
12075s	that top left corner so it is going to
12077s	be a race to try to get there first
12079s	Finland didn't have a chance to
12081s	expensive ultimates in that last fight
12082s	so they have a few tools to work with
12085s	they're going to need to get control of
12087s	this point first and they really are a
12088s	team that likes to run with momentum
12090s	whoever wins the first fight has a huge
12092s	Edge this is a very defendable comp and
12095s	Yuri takes down his opposition the
12098s	photon barrier KSA will just push past
12100s	it if they need what they go around the
12102s	corner use the teleport surprise of
12104s	course if they need course is actually
12106s	on the other side Finland read this like
12108s	a book they go back to Bunker down the
12110s	point no one has actually captured it
12112s	yet Finland draw KSA into their trap and
12115s	Finland go on the other side and now KSA
12118s	is enter the paint sandwich and besta
12120s	Pops the flux but hawu there with the
12122s	sound there not before quartz has been
12124s	head shot fitland now the one man
12126s	Advantage but KSA have been clutched
12128s	before but it seems too much to handle
12132s	all of ksa's focus is all over the place
12135s	and Finland will take back the point KSA
12137s	walk away with 31% capture progress
12140s	before Finland are able to wrestle back
12142s	that control but cloud with the blizzard
12144s	is going to be able to help them keep
12146s	this advantage and try to keep the ball
12147s	rolling you can see how far forward
12150s	cloud is trying to play you see the
12151s	teleporter just be able to grab that
12153s	high ground and get some poke down onto
12155s	Saudi Arabia as they move in look at the
12157s	turret placement too you got see sa
12160s	Rabia think twice
12162s	from UB block the blizzard KSA are safe
12166s	these Ms are insane I swear U has his
12170s	own blizzard Finland were trying to be
12172s	as creative as they did on downtown even
12173s	going for a drop down play but KSA
12176s	rotated away and now they stare at each
12179s	other with Finland in control with the
12181s	lead this is maybe the last fight to see
12184s	who goes to round point and Finland
12186s	defend for now UB these are awfully
12189s	quiet maybe not sure about the blizzard
12192s	looking to see where Finland are as the
12194s	flux from KSA gets some members low
12196s	here's a blizzard there from U and it's
12199s	only these supports Monster's in trouble
12201s	doesn't get Frozen and the barrier could
12204s	be critical Mickey is so low the
12208s	barrier save him and that's the point
12212s	Vin are on round point of surala oh my
12215s	God what a clutch that could not have
12218s	been more great perfect for maso to be
12220s	able to save Mickey and keep this point
12222s	alive suretta has no choice except to
12225s	try to go back to the spawn room so that
12228s	he's able to get back to the team but
12229s	Finland they know what their objective
12231s	is they're going over to Garden on that
12233s	bottom right point of the map and they
12235s	still have so many ultimates so they get
12237s	a chance to not only beat Saudi Arabia
12239s	to a punch but also set up the defenses
12242s	this point is so open so Finland really
12246s	want to make sure that they have the
12247s	best defensive position possible even
12249s	though Finland are defending KS they
12251s	also have great cover here is the first
12253s	fight KSA jumping and Matrix KSA is
12256s	locked down goodbye to that tank KSA now
12260s	commit the be the last to do it without
12262s	him and Finland pop three ultimates to
12265s	fight back at KSA while also having the
12269s	point in control this lead is growing
12271s	for Finland this looks like an expensive
12274s	fight but Finland have fought themselves
12275s	so much time when they know that they've
12277s	already secured two flash points
12279s	especially if they're able to get any of
12281s	this poke down onto Saudi Arabia maybe
12283s	take somebody down before they move in
12286s	that's going to be a huge difference
12288s	maker Finland already working up to 50%
12290s	on this Final Flash Point KSA they've
12294s	got to start making a move the sigma has
12297s	been really good in terms of that close
12299s	quarters duel but KSA has kind of Fallen
12303s	especially when they take this
12304s	teleporter right into the face of
12305s	Finland and cloud is a blizzard Finland
12307s	or know to play this they were very
12310s	defensive last time
12312s	against sisa opponent in quarterfinal
12315s	Cloud can just sit pretty wait for KSA
12318s	to approach with this blizzard but you
12319s	be has a similar idea both blizzards are
12322s	dropped it's a no man land and it's only
12325s	besta Frozen I believe and the sound
12328s	barrier is just enough and the
12330s	immortality from Mickey besta is alive
12334s	is this enough for Finland it's down to
12336s	the DPS at KSA they were desperate for
12340s	the kill they were divided and Conquer
12344s	Finland 100 to zero we'll take
12352s	surasa what did we say you can't count
12355s	Finland out of this fight those first
12357s	two maps were so close but surasa tells
12360s	a different story where team Finland
12363s	were able to work with all of that gas
12366s	put it back into the tank you can see
12368s	the smiles on their face where they're
12370s	not out of this yet they're going to
12371s	find themselves another map in this
12373s	series and after such smart team play
12376s	playing around sauna the use of those
12378s	teleporters the turrets everything
12380s	lining up perfectly for team f to just
12383s	take control there's even some moment
12384s	SAA placed a teleporter on one of these
12387s	points to put Mickey on an off angle by
12390s	himself with the Matrix yes and then the
12392s	mayw from cloud the team chemistry from
12395s	Finland was so good but you have to also
12398s	highlight the composure they had when
12400s	they had the old the blizzard they they
12402s	were they were defending that last point
12404s	they didn't get too eager they didn't
12406s	put themselves in a bad position KSA
12408s	walked right into their hand and Finland
12410s	had the ace up their
12412s	sleeve talk about the patience they
12416s	always had ultimate economy in this
12417s	match too which is so valuable so
12420s	important especially when you're playing
12422s	against a team that is as good as Saudi
12424s	Arabia you want to make sure that
12426s	everything is picture perfect so now we
12429s	get a chance to see where Saudi Arabia
12431s	are going to take us because with that
12433s	loss of map they get a chance to show us
12435s	where they want to go yub was so fun to
12439s	watch on the the way he was just
12441s	sprinting in ice blocks and he's like
12444s	okay I have a second to call
12445s	reinforcements drops the blizzard youb
12448s	was making some huge plays for KSA it's
12451s	two to one for KSA by the way it's Match
12454s	Point does the road and here for Finland
12457s	or do we go to game five we'll find out
12459s	after the
12460s	break
12497s	[Music]
12532s	[Music]
12550s	n
12580s	n
12611s	[Music]
12640s	n
12651s	I jinxed it my bad KSA have dropped
12654s	their first game in all of World Cup
12658s	Finland still have some fight in them
12661s	after taking
12663s	Sasa I know that last series was very
12666s	good game five but this one is heating
12668s	up it really is and especially when you
12670s	take a look at how those first two maps
12672s	it even started close first map of
12676s	control another close map of Blizzard
12678s	world and then we ended up getting a
12681s	comeback here for Finland then they're
12683s	starting to get a little more confident
12684s	in themselves now that they figured out
12686s	how Saudi Arabia is approaching this
12688s	matchup but it's Saudi Arabia's pick
12691s	they want to close it out here so we're
12693s	going to espadan oo I'm excited I know
12696s	we're probably going to get a mirror
12698s	match up the biggest difference may be
12700s	the choice of kidskin that it's been a
12702s	lot of meetra but KSA have been a unique
12705s	team that they love the junker Queen
12706s	this is this was meta quite a bit on
12709s	esparanza because of well how long the
12712s	map is you're always running the cardio
12714s	is insane on a push map and having
12717s	multiple options of speed with a Lucio
12719s	junky Queen I guess with the symmetra
12721s	that helps too I don't know if K they're
12723s	going to opt for it because there are
12724s	long Sidelines where the sigma is King
12727s	Sigma is King but I'm looking at courts
12730s	right now quartz has been the flexible
12734s	DPS in this entire matchup do you want
12736s	to run the symmetra or do you want to
12739s	actually run something like the sojourn
12741s	because of all these beautiful sight
12743s	lines that you get to work with I see
12746s	that face over there not getting the big
12748s	gr on my face a I'm so sorry he swapped
12753s	as sh as I had a grin on my I know he he
12757s	knew but he but he didn't want it and
12759s	sadly in this matchup it just it doesn't
12762s	it it's going to be difficult to get
12763s	that to work the junker Queen would have
12765s	to get through a lot of that over Health
12768s	Vesta especially when he's able to
12771s	maneuver around the shield that he has
12773s	makes the junker Queen even more
12774s	vulnerable in those instances I would
12777s	love to see it too not going to lie but
12779s	it is going to be the Sigma versus Sigma
12781s	Saudi Arabia on the back foot though as
12783s	it's going to be Finland making it to
12785s	that botur and you can play around this
12788s	Central Building to go on a flank you
12790s	may not expect to this much since you
12791s	don't have a sojourn everyone is playing
12793s	for a Teleport play and maybe even
12796s	generating an a matrix KSA are the first
12799s	to rotate around this corner they
12801s	probably have used some important cool
12802s	Downs like the grasp or have a low
12804s	Shield but Finland have now teleported
12806s	to the top of the bridge having Cloud
12809s	down to contest and off of the May wall
12811s	of cloud KSA are taking a ton of damage
12814s	the ice block is out but U doesn't want
12816s	to stay there too long the first kill
12819s	for KSA goes through and Finland are in
12822s	trouble yeah without Masa you just don't
12825s	have as many choices to be able to get
12828s	away from Saudi Arabia and sauna as well
12831s	just the lack of the teleporter can also
12833s	prove to be detrimental but Saudi Arabia
12836s	too look at what they walk away with how
12838s	does Haku have a s barrier online
12840s	already the frags the head shots really
12842s	helping to add up to that ultimate
12844s	charge as haky is going to try to sit
12846s	this one out try to get that bot a
12848s	little bit more far forward Saudi Arabia
12851s	are going to take that meterage lead
12853s	while they have so much to work with the
12856s	ant Matrix is going to be on the menu
12858s	and Mickey pops his in the grab flux too
12861s	but a good counter of hak's the sound
12864s	barrier as KSA even popped his flux too
12866s	not tury got a good Target it's all the
12869s	AL coming out finin want to be let out
12872s	of this room and yub freees them solid
12876s	when Finland thought they were safe KSA
12879s	wipe them down what a call and response
12882s	coming through from both teams but Saudi
12884s	Arabia walk away the winners of that
12886s	matchup and they are rewarded with this
12889s	first checkpoint those closer spawns and
12892s	lock for heavily not before quartz has
12894s	made it out of Spawn so it's going to
12896s	have to to walk a little bit which is
12897s	going to force Saudi Arabia to have to
12899s	back up an important opening here for
12902s	Finland to potentially take advantage of
12904s	knowing that Saudi Arabia does have to
12906s	back up a little bit Yeah Haku is able
12909s	to taxi fors back and keep him on The
12911s	High Ground maybe to place a teleporter
12913s	if KSA takes too much pressure he can
12915s	escape and now where is this Escape Plan
12919s	the Blizzard from cloud freezes KSA and
12922s	he can't get out quartz couldn't help
12925s	out his teammate and this momentum that
12927s	KSA generated is gone Finland take their
12931s	first fight UB is stalling as long as
12934s	possible though alongside
12936s	Haku just buying Saudi Arabia some time
12940s	Tak take The High Ground Finland wants
12943s	control of that bridge the bot's going
12945s	to move around this corner very quickly
12948s	shut off those forward spawns Haku and
12950s	UB fortunately going to be on the back
12952s	foot of that but it's not too far
12956s	forward that this bot has to move
12958s	Finland have the upper hand when it
12960s	comes to that ultimate economy so it's
12963s	very likely they could win this here at
12965s	Matrix from Mickey but KSA don't want to
12968s	stay in that corner they try to get
12970s	around fin
12971s	and no jeez shed just was separated away
12976s	from the flock and fin Lin hunt them
12978s	down they had The High Ground and KSA
12981s	tried to dance Vesta even has the flux
12984s	but you don't even need it at least this
12986s	was an extended fight for KSA to
12989s	generate some important ultimates cuz
12991s	they're going to need it to retake they
12993s	are and and Finland they didn't have to
12994s	expend much in that fight that fight was
12997s	super cheap and so they still are able
13000s	to hold on to the gravitic flux the
13002s	photon barrier and gravitic flux the
13004s	perfect ultimate to have in this
13006s	situation when you are playing around
13008s	this checkpoint Vin are so close to
13010s	matching the meterage here but KSA on
13012s	the sigma wants to try to stop that okay
13015s	there's a photon miror from carts
13016s	separates the fight in half and the
13019s	escape plan from pz is there too flocks
13021s	from Vesta gets Haku but uh but KSA can
13025s	play the corner and the blizzard is
13027s	thrown the re-engage of KSA is there but
13030s	the St be from haku's too late to save
13032s	yui it's a 5v4 in favor of Finland and S
13038s	he's has so much DPS you better get out
13041s	of his way or he'll remove You by
13044s	force Finland will get that forward
13047s	spawn and they're so close to taking the
13049s	lead that lead is going to be coming up
13051s	very shortly in Saudi Arabia once again
13054s	having to go back to maybe plan C in
13058s	this instance that first plan didn't
13060s	work that that team fight didn't go
13061s	their way and Saudi Arabia they need to
13065s	try to work up to this Photon barrier
13067s	because at this point too Finland can
13069s	start to build up that momentum they've
13072s	won a few team fights in a row this is
13074s	where this team thrives KSA have to make
13077s	this bleed not turn into a hemorrhage
13079s	the lead has already gone to Finland the
13082s	am chch from Mi is ready too and as soon
13085s	as KSA commit to a lane or Finland can
13087s	just jump around the corner but KSA have
13089s	good shelter using the half
13091s	Finland are okay having this fight last
13093s	as long as they need but you're also
13095s	giving KSA time to generate ultimates
13098s	it's Finland that have the advantage
13099s	this fight and Finland know it they
13102s	throw the blizzard KSA is trapped by the
13104s	May wall of cloud and the head shot to
13106s	ruin him Finland has a 54 Yu knows he
13110s	has to make a play the blizzard is
13111s	thrown down Finland lose Masa in the
13113s	process it's 4v4 now the am Matrix from
13116s	Mickey to push KSA back they're a little
13120s	too threatened and KSA while they're
13122s	playing that window side but the charg
13125s	up some Metro right click through the at
13127s	Matrix is so deadly and KSA are not out
13130s	of this yet yeah but Finland can still
13132s	stall here so Cloud Bola trying their
13135s	best espcially when you start whittling
13137s	away in that time bank we only have 3
13139s	minutes and 40 seconds left on the clock
13141s	and with Finland in the lead they can
13143s	play a bit more defensively here so they
13145s	don't mind backing up giving some space
13147s	making sure that they're regrouped so
13150s	that they can approach this next fight
13152s	with all the Firepower that they have if
13154s	Finland are able to win this next fight
13156s	it becomes even more difficult for Saudi
13158s	Arabia to get back into things Saudi
13161s	Arabia now they want to take the lead
13162s	and they want to win it
13164s	now from the St KSA don't have barrier
13168s	yet and Haku does he want to pop it now
13170s	you don't have Quartz in this wall for p
13173s	doesn't matter Finland versus KSA with
13176s	the sound barriers exchanged and it's an
13178s	all out bra between the sigas KSA holds
13181s	its own but Finland start to surround
13184s	and they start to pound as Finland move
13187s	forward besta is playing with so much
13189s	more confidence right now KSA is one of
13192s	those tanks that has been so impressive
13194s	during the OverWatch World Cup because
13196s	of how much aggression that he takes
13198s	into every single fight he's not afraid
13200s	because of how much confidence that he
13202s	puts into his backline of Haku and surma
13204s	Jette to keep him alive but Vesta taking
13207s	it to the front line continuing to
13210s	execute the game plan where if they get
13212s	KSA Sigma down then they have that
13214s	Frontline duel KSA teleported under
13217s	Finland so Finland are going to
13218s	prioritize the bot use the wall to keep
13221s	KSA in their baby cage there's the
13223s	photon barrier from Finland to protect
13225s	themselves do thus KSA make the decision
13227s	to walk past it they're unsure they seem
13230s	to be teleporting actually to the
13231s	opposite High ground it's KSA now the
13234s	positional Advantage 85 to 61 with 2
13237s	minutes left it's up to the Blizzard of
13238s	cloud and KSA are in trouble they can't
13242s	run in the immortality from suren only B
13245s	have a few more seconds until death
13249s	Finland move forward and they will be
13251s	reaching 100 m can they finish this map
13254s	oh maybe can they finish this map
13256s	because they are getting so close toble
13259s	to get a complete shut out right now
13261s	onto Saudi Arabia they're able to make
13263s	them way out of Spawn but not before
13265s	pistola is able to take control of this
13268s	trolley and now with the
13271s	flux that's at least surette does he
13273s	have the immortality it doesn't save him
13275s	he's killed before he lands into the
13277s	sideline spinland dismantled them one by
13281s	one you ask if Finland could fall cap
13284s	it's definitely possible
13286s	now oh the Stagger poor quz is going to
13290s	get taken down maybe you're able to
13292s	stall out this bot for just a little bit
13295s	longer but Saudi Arabia have to walk out
13299s	of Spawn into this territory that
13301s	Finland get a chance to poke down KSA is
13304s	already so low UB as well needs to be
13306s	able to use that amp it up from that
13308s	Lucio to get back to full health KSA I
13312s	mean even if they win this they have 45
13315s	seconds denies the U blizzard he's an
13318s	ice block KSA will front line KSA will
13321s	not be giving up they have almost every
13324s	other ultimate out of sports want to
13327s	defend themselves best St was hungry for
13329s	the May kill and he's in trouble
13331s	fls from KSA countered by the M sound
13333s	barrier for has the wall Sur with the m
13337s	Matrix and KSA the ultimates to turn it
13341s	around but have KSA already drowned when
13344s	Finland have
13346s	135 M with 11 seconds left KSA we know
13351s	they can clutch but this is a lot to ask
13354s	for this is definitely a mountain that
13356s	Saudi Arabia need to climb but when
13357s	their backs against the wall that is
13359s	when they frag the most
13361s	cour is going to have to use that
13362s	teleporter though to be able to get back
13363s	to the team Haku trying his best to be
13365s	able to get courtz back into this fight
13367s	that Bon barrier is going to be able to
13369s	help protect them from the amplification
13371s	Matrix from Mickey but you also have
13373s	those area effects on cloud blizzard vas
13375s	and Matrix ASA will they fall it's the
13379s	clock fard from up top the AL bu the
13382s	sured he cannot Escape in time biglin
13386s	are the hunters and KSA are the pre this
13390s	is is fin L's fight s with the 3K and
13394s	Finland force game
13399s	five we have a series on our hands oh my
13405s	goodness team finlands they're really
13408s	feeling themselves right
13410s	now two game fives in our semifinals by
13414s	the way everyone thought team from China
13417s	South Korea that could go to five and
13420s	everyone thought K is say oh yeah
13422s	they're easily a finalist but
13426s	Finland the dark was it reverse
13430s	sweepable o did I just put that into
13433s	existence I don't know you either put
13435s	into existence or you cursed it I'm not
13437s	sure which one but you're right about it
13440s	they're very well could be a reverse
13442s	sweep on the table for team Finland if
13445s	they keep playing like that absolutely
13449s	they could do it veola is the goat I
13453s	truly everyone starting today better
13455s	respect this guy you know a shiny paper
13459s	if you're looking for a sigma I know
13462s	besta would happily sign it he was such
13465s	a pillar for a finland's front line and
13468s	clouds throwing blizzards all up in KSA
13471s	like that they couldn't run even if they
13474s	tried they didn't have time to react
13476s	because Cloud doesn't give you a time to
13478s	think but that's what team Finland is so
13480s	good at playing together as a team it's
13482s	a full team effort there m feeding them
13485s	around you also have the Baptist just
13488s	Mickey so good on those off angles
13490s	whether he's playing for the team or
13491s	selfishly and let's not forget saa's
13493s	symmetra has been absolutely popping off
13497s	we haven't even needed really to see the
13498s	Bastion ois or the soldier out of him to
13501s	make a big difference and impact on the
13503s	DPS roll oh I know quartz would be just
13507s	popping off if he was allowed to go on
13509s	the soldier Metro is a tough ass here
13511s	need perfect execution out of him but
13514s	when I think about someone perfect I
13515s	think about Golden boys too let's go
13517s	check in with
13518s	him well that is factually untrue but I
13522s	do appreciate it girls in any case so
13524s	we're going to game five Bisson holy
13527s	moly two in a day we should be so gifted
13529s	so lucky but I have two fans here
13531s	representing KSA and Finland uh you know
13534s	equally here so start with your first
13535s	name where you from and uh how you going
13538s	to get these fans to cheer for KSA in
13539s	game five
13540s	well I'm I'm I came from Kingdom of
13543s	Saudi Arabia I came I flew 19 hours here
13546s	and I know that they're going to win so
13548s	let's get in KFA all right all right but
13552s	look on the other side Finland managed
13553s	to come back maybe a reverse sweep into
13555s	cards what's your name where you from
13557s	who you cheering on and why hi I'm Dave
13560s	I'm from California and I'm cheering on
13563s	Masa and Finland um Let's go Team
13566s	Finland Let's go Team Finland she's
13569s	cheering on Masa cheering on the the
13571s	Kingdom of Saudi Arabia this match is
13572s	going to pop off girls it's going to be
13574s	incredible to send it back over to you
13575s	but come on BlizzCon let's make some
13583s	noise this has been the loudest that
13585s	BlizzCon has ever been welcome back
13589s	everyone some of the best OverWatch is
13592s	coming today after what we saw in our
13595s	previous semifinal and when I think of
13597s	someone that well KSA they really need I
13601s	think about lavda he's being subbed back
13603s	in So double Flex support definitely a
13606s	double Flex support angle here
13608s	especially when you think about when
13610s	labda has been subed in and where we're
13612s	going to we're going to be able to
13614s	finish off this match the way we
13617s	finished off China and South Korea
13619s	that's going to be on Route
13621s	66 what a fitting way to end this series
13625s	The Showdown is it a reverse sweep is it
13629s	KSA Tri in up but getting back on their
13632s	feet it turns out KSA are human they are
13635s	beatable a little bit but I know
13639s	KSA this is their map choice just like
13643s	the previous two but it was so close but
13646s	like we said on blizzard world when
13648s	Finland get the ball rolling they seem
13651s	Relentless they're
13653s	Unstoppable but KSA they're proud and
13656s	they're happy and they're hyped up they
13659s	talk to their coach and KSA have a game
13662s	[Applause]
13666s	plan can hear the tears in the
13669s	crowd for both of the teams on stage
13672s	they have so much love and support in
13675s	the arena and it is so good to be able
13677s	to see to celebrate these players we we
13681s	love the OverWatch World Cup for that
13683s	reason right is we want to be able to
13686s	Hype up these players that get a chance
13688s	to prove themselves in a different Way
13691s	for their country to be able to just
13694s	showcase also all of the hard work that
13696s	they've put in in so many different
13698s	levels of the competition both of these
13700s	teams no stranger to putting on
13703s	phenomenal performances in tournaments I
13706s	know when we go to payload Maps there's
13707s	an attacking team a defending team but
13710s	when you go to symmetra everyone's
13711s	attacking all the time yeah right
13713s	sometimes I just switch sides on you and
13714s	then you don't know what's up from down
13716s	so especially when the symmetra
13719s	teleporter sometimes go behind the enemy
13721s	team I know especially courts and Sir
13723s	maed were devastating on blizzard World
13726s	when they were able to pull that off but
13728s	Finland have to keep note of that and
13731s	have to react quickly and it's the
13733s	Finland May symmetra that comes out
13736s	again but does courtz get that opening
13738s	pick well there's no one home to maybe
13741s	find well for moments like these I wish
13744s	I had eyes in the back of my head just
13747s	in case there's going to be x-ray vision
13749s	right yeah that's why the Widowmaker is
13751s	there isn't that right trying to get
13753s	those sights online maybe courtz is
13754s	going to be able to get a quick pick
13757s	here as you're right nobody's home
13759s	Finland though they want to try to take
13760s	this close Corner oh you got to be
13762s	careful Mickey almost getting his head
13765s	taken off by that sniper shot but cours
13767s	thinks better of it wants to go back to
13770s	this soour that has been so nasty in
13773s	these fights yeah that Widow shot wasn't
13775s	fully charged and it was a body shot and
13777s	K is saying now that they know where
13779s	Finland are hiding they dig them out and
13782s	KSA move forward an honorable start to
13785s	this map though team Finland making that
13788s	close hold but Saudi Arabia now get a
13791s	chance to take big Earls away from Team
13793s	Finland and that's where you start to
13795s	run into some problems finy needs to
13797s	figure out a different approach to this
13800s	fight and so they're actually going to
13801s	go underneath the canyon so that they
13804s	can take the garage away in big RS what
13807s	how did that happen SL up upon as
13810s	Finland took bottom of big ears and they
13813s	had access to that backline and KSA this
13816s	push might be St but suren gets a trade
13819s	Finland are up by one but they only have
13821s	Lucio he heals Finland has to really
13824s	pull off the damage to turn this fight
13826s	and when besta is dominating the front
13829s	line that is just enough in the May wall
13833s	KSA can't even get out and Finland
13835s	stopped the push oh courtz was one in
13837s	that fight as well almost didn't make it
13839s	get away from that either but these
13842s	staggers have come through cloud is down
13844s	though cor is going to even up this
13846s	players I was so excited to see KZ back
13849s	on this sojourn he is the pop off hero
13852s	that KSA needs to get back on that
13855s	throne but quartz is above so close to
13858s	overclock and Vesta isn't there to
13860s	protect Mickey but that's a pretty
13862s	sturdy rock that these supports are
13864s	hiding behind as quartz jumps behind and
13867s	denies the amp Matrix us s from Finland
13871s	and KSA with the photon barrier caused a
13873s	lot of confusion there and KSA should be
13875s	able to cap a maybe we get a chance to
13878s	see a recontest come through B's down
13881s	with the symmetra so might be a little
13882s	bit more difficult unless you want to
13884s	send cloud in to try to get that ice
13886s	block down but take a look at where
13888s	surette is quartz to the May wol Cycles
13892s	with the ice block that's precious
13894s	second sound barrier as soon as an ice
13896s	block is gone to maybe save him finin oh
13900s	they forced out a lot of ultimates out
13902s	of KSA and this is quartz's map 4K give
13907s	them the ace and KSA move on to cap
13911s	point a a y almost let him have it
13914s	almost let him have it let's watch that
13917s	again though as corz had the overclock
13919s	you saw the investment of the gravitic
13922s	flux but even with the South barrier
13924s	just wasn't enough to save
13926s	everybody and quz once again showing why
13930s	the so is one of his absolute best
13932s	heroes we're talking about that too if
13935s	we get a chance to see quartz on the
13937s	symmet maybe didn't quite work out the
13939s	way that Saudi Arabia wanted it to in
13941s	terms of those final two maps but here
13944s	let's play bring around the rosie shall
13945s	we Finland are just rotating that
13947s	position to contest the card KSA are
13950s	happy on top Saloon but you can't forget
13952s	about the objective and as KSA go back
13955s	to the C they walk into a storm there is
13957s	the Blizzard from cloud that KSA have
13960s	their tank Frozen KSA manages to bring
13963s	his grasp out to save himself while
13966s	Court stays on The High Ground Finland
13968s	no that is a threat they have to deal
13970s	with or at least hide away as besta
13973s	pressures him back corest to jump out of
13975s	the line of fire and well that's still
13978s	enough poke cuz I guess while while cors
13980s	is gone y gets a 3K and fitland are gone
13985s	take a look at where lab's positioning
13986s	was as well lab just got subed back in
13988s	for this map so that Saudi Arabia could
13991s	play this double Flex support now you
13993s	can see really why lap to taking that
13995s	off angle taking a page out of Mickey's
13997s	book there just to help Saudi Arabia's
13999s	front line and courtz never died KSA
14002s	never died and that was all of the back
14005s	of just labus fantastic positioning to
14007s	help keep the team up but Finland are
14010s	back this is going to be the final
14011s	contest they thought that Cas they
14013s	thought that Finland were coming on the
14015s	right side but Finland teleported on the
14017s	other so this Photon barrier doesn't
14019s	matter KSA though that wall Matters from
14022s	clown KSA is dead and surette he's
14026s	trying to clutch up for his team tries
14028s	to heal Y and surette has such great
14031s	balance over Lori probably one of the
14034s	best in the world as KSA C point B so
14038s	much time left in the bank as well
14041s	they've been on a slow roll all
14043s	throughout Route 66 so that's 3 minutes
14046s	on the clock here for Saudi Arabia to
14049s	try to finish out this map team Finland
14052s	got to dig their heels into the sand
14055s	because they are also starting to run
14056s	out of that
14058s	time Finland can play this corner and
14061s	even actually teleport past it and play
14063s	Both Sides KSA are going to look both
14066s	ways before Crossing through and try to
14068s	pounce on the pistola Masa saves him
14071s	with a sound barrier lapa is gone serish
14074s	has the only heal he can't DPS and get
14076s	the frags that KSA would have hoped for
14079s	and Finland holds strong on the corner
14082s	but it's a time bank that they got to
14083s	shave down great defensive corner for
14086s	them though right because team Finland
14087s	they can play around the right side
14090s	where we see Vesta trying to lock down
14092s	there's an off angle that we can see
14094s	Cloud take and it's the positioning of
14096s	both of those heroes in particular that
14098s	helps bolster up team finland's front
14101s	line see if they can hold strong though
14103s	because I've got to survive another
14104s	Onslaught here from Saudi Arabia KSA are
14107s	trying to find the perfect angle for
14108s	this aage great but LDA gets poked down
14111s	the orbs of this Sigma Vesta can bounce
14114s	around and get such good information and
14116s	apparently fantastic kills for this
14118s	defense and course is going to get
14120s	staggered KSA are trying to save them
14123s	but they walk into the Flux Of besta and
14126s	KSA are dead
14128s	again laa there to help get KSA away
14132s	from that damage but team Finland are
14135s	still pushing forward besta is able to
14138s	get some poke down wants to have this
14139s	gravitic flux online for the inevitable
14142s	next
14143s	fight ooh Boton barrier but Finland have
14147s	already stepped up they're ready to
14148s	throw some punches at one HP pops the
14152s	captive Sun so that corz can knock them
14154s	all down Finland have been removed and
14158s	KSA with a minute 15 are heading to the
14161s	end say wola wants that graphitic fluxa
14164s	so badly because as much area of effect
14167s	as you can on this final Point
14168s	especially with that time bank that
14170s	could be where team Finland are able to
14172s	stop the cart for Saudi Arabia that got
14175s	that as up their sleeve it's going to be
14177s	quartz with another overclock take a
14178s	look at where he's trying to wrap behind
14180s	it's tick tock it's overclock K courtz
14183s	clutch it up Finland takes shelter on
14185s	the other side of the truck and it's the
14187s	grass from Vesta trying to get eyes on
14190s	where the soldier player is Finland has
14192s	found him but quartz has already escaped
14194s	into the shadows as Finland hope to make
14197s	their final stop with the respawn
14198s	advantage The Edge it's for the defense
14201s	KSA have the flux KSA pulls the trigger
14204s	immediately but Thea sound barrier just
14207s	in time U is booped off his teleporter
14210s	but Finland don't get the execution as
14213s	now Finland take that right side
14214s	approach they need to deal with Yu who's
14216s	charging up but the true threat the true
14219s	king is Zen and right below him is
14223s	daughter goodbye fitland can't defend
14227s	that KSA cap with 7
14231s	[Applause]
14235s	seconds can hear the chears in the crowd
14238s	right now after such a great push there
14240s	from Saudi Arabia capturing those three
14243s	points especially that final Point can
14245s	be so difficult to
14247s	assail the fact that they're able to
14249s	walk away with that full capture puts a
14251s	fantastic win condition on the board
14253s	here but team Finland can see what they
14256s	do on Attack pushes we all saw that
14258s	blizzard world right there
14260s	that went to Extra Innings yeah but it
14263s	was KSA that came out on top with the
14265s	double Flex support and you just saw how
14267s	many more there's just an extra DPS over
14270s	nari that can cat you these picks and
14272s	quartz delivered what a 4K in the first
14275s	uh in the first point and sired clutches
14279s	up at the very end like he did on
14281s	blizzard world this is such a consistent
14284s	Dependable player and now you fliter
14288s	maette out of his cave a he's going wild
14292s	and that's the adjustment we need to see
14294s	from Team Finland the fact that you have
14296s	this double Flex support lineup that is
14299s	just so good at both of these Heroes
14302s	sometimes that damage is just
14304s	overwhelming that's what you called out
14305s	from blizzard world so team Finland need
14307s	to figure out a way to try to survive do
14309s	that damage a little bit better so maybe
14312s	it is down to this double sniper to get
14317s	initial pick oh KSA on top of the bridge
14320s	but there's a sigma Shield so yep not
14322s	getting through that immediate swap
14324s	there and Saudi Arabia don't want to
14326s	play close that close hold ended up
14329s	spelling a bit of disaster there for
14330s	team Finland because a card ended up
14332s	getting extra real estate then what it
14334s	maybe a would have gotten if team
14337s	Finland had been on top of big Earls
14339s	just like Saudi Arabia here look at
14342s	their setup KSA want to play as far away
14344s	as possible so they they have time to
14346s	read this sauna teleport Finland they're
14348s	going to want to approach them while as
14350s	this space between the two is where
14352s	quartz will shine here's a Teleport from
14354s	Finland now they've taken over big Earls
14357s	but KSA is getting good trickle damage
14360s	but finland's backline is still healthy
14362s	you got to be careful of quartz and
14364s	sured they're starting to surround
14366s	Finland and any pits any damage passes
14369s	besta Shield he needs to be aware of
14372s	where quartz is at all times the
14375s	teleport from Finland is right on that
14376s	right side and quartz is too low he
14379s	didn't get enough healing labda was
14381s	reloading and KSA are on the back foot
14383s	but KSA starts to walk forward stops
14386s	down on Masa besta is losing the front
14389s	line jeel but the C is being pushed by
14391s	Finland caner forc the drop the May
14394s	wal's in their way they could be trying
14395s	to get around it KSA has a touch and
14398s	they can't what a fast first capture
14401s	here for team Finland all of the back of
14404s	cloud inching that cart forward he was
14407s	playing around the C just to keep his
14410s	head safe from what cor was dishing out
14412s	in terms of damage and so every inch
14415s	mattered every meter going to be able to
14418s	get that first capture there for team
14420s	Finland and uh they're going to keep
14422s	that car rolling Saudi Arabia got a
14424s	little stagger there and by the time
14426s	that they're able to get back team
14427s	Finland have already started around this
14429s	corner b now on C Duty okay say he tries
14432s	to teleport of The High Ground and half
14434s	of them dropped off and lvda didn't get
14435s	the memo he tried to fight back with an
14437s	ant Matrix against the volon barrier
14440s	that's not going to work but surit in
14442s	your backline boed Away by
14444s	Masa and Finland continue the boulder
14447s	that rolls down the hill if you stand in
14449s	the way you're just going to get
14451s	squished got to be careful cuz that
14453s	could also turn into an avalanche
14454s	because team Finland one of those teams
14456s	are really able to just work with what
14458s	they've got that card is so close they
14460s	have 4 minutes left on the time bank
14463s	wait KSA tried to teleport but Finland
14465s	were so aggressive they denied they
14467s	separated KSA the teleporter is gone
14470s	there's no one to save U up against
14473s	Cloud the backand the vet sound barrier
14476s	can both
14478s	push they just can't be stopped they are
14481s	going into Point C with a ton of time oh
14484s	my goodness this has been a steamroll
14487s	over 5 minutes in the bank here for team
14490s	Finland they don't have a whole lot of
14493s	gas in the tank but as long as it's
14495s	enough before it hits empty oh
14499s	maybe team finland's got this oh KSA
14502s	jump past the shield somehow he lives
14505s	good immortality from labda as KSA want
14508s	to jump behind Finland here's the route
14509s	of Escape there from sauna things get
14511s	hairy they go back to top Saloon but KSA
14513s	have left cours is on the ash quartz now
14516s	with the ash is such an interesting pick
14518s	here because you know how grouped up
14519s	team finland's going to be those
14521s	dynamites are huge oh it's really
14523s	Finland that's on fire the flux oh that
14526s	sets them a blaze and
14529s	for the first time on this push has been
14534s	stopped the fact that they haven't been
14536s	stopped right now do you even care if
14538s	your team Finland you still have 4
14539s	minutes and 20 seconds on the clock and
14543s	wow this ash pick is phenomenal I feel
14545s	like it's almost more exploitable you
14548s	have way less Mobility to work with
14550s	now so versus something like the soldier
14554s	you just don't have that Dash you have
14555s	the coach gun
14556s	instead it's a comfort pick for quartz
14560s	trying to get some damage above that
14562s	Shield the Bob presence you can't deny
14564s	that as Finland want to Lane to put this
14567s	an Matrix down as Finland are unsure
14570s	where to put that but a quick surprise
14572s	from lavda as Cloud was caught out in
14573s	the open playing the corner looking for
14575s	a blizzard play now KSA have Finland
14578s	stuck on the right side they didn't
14580s	cross and give up the fight fast enough
14582s	Finland have to make a choice do they
14584s	invest and KSA tear them apart before
14587s	they can think
14589s	but that's okay Team Villain wanted to
14591s	take an Eco push there they didn't want
14593s	to use ultimates and so guess what
14595s	they're going to have five now Saudi
14597s	Arabia they had to use the lar captive
14601s	sun or maette is able to charge it up so
14603s	quickly and even talking to him he's
14605s	like hey if it's online may as well go
14606s	ahead and throw it into the fight oh
14609s	Finland this has been backto back fights
14612s	starting with a man down but at least
14615s	they're quick to
14616s	reset they still have three minutes in
14620s	the time bank like what do you do like
14624s	at certain point like Finland with that
14626s	amount of time just overwhelm sa is
14629s	getting overwhelmed you have to deal
14630s	with the symmetra turrets from U so veal
14633s	at least that charge now those symmetric
14636s	turrets are no longer a problem the true
14638s	problem is this FL it hits a bunch of
14641s	KSA they're low the B thrown down as an
14644s	additional Manpower but KSA are missing
14647s	an action fin inv best everything for
14650s	ultimates with only an AM Matrix to
14653s	spare and they're halfway to the end
14657s	they need one more team fight one more
14660s	team Fight Win will tie this up here for
14662s	team Finland quartz was going to switch
14665s	goes back over to the ash because that's
14667s	going to be Saudi Arabia's best chance
14669s	be able to stop fing in their tracks but
14671s	this flux besta should be okay I don't
14676s	know KSA is bullying him has he accre
14678s	might have canceled the cool down but
14680s	Finland I'm isolated off of the cloud
14682s	May W is go still kicking but the breath
14685s	the life sned out of finland's eyes as
14688s	KSA the defense wins at the last couple
14691s	of meters but 2 minutes left 2 minutes
14694s	left but take a look at where that card
14696s	is this is going to be very difficult
14697s	for team Finland to get back to
14699s	especially with how much space Saudi
14701s	Arabia has to work with that is a lot of
14703s	poke that finland's going to be taking
14706s	as they make their way in and they have
14708s	to walk into a captive son from cette
14710s	we've seen how deadly those can be so
14713s	Saudi Arabia right now they see the win
14715s	condition on the board and it's close in
14716s	their sights Finland are trying to Juke
14718s	them out try to fake out either door
14720s	they go from the bottom they want to
14721s	teleport right on top of fors that's the
14723s	most vulnerable member finin are staring
14725s	into the sun Sur lights them all up
14728s	sauna is so low KSA needs to capitalize
14732s	but f stand tall they move forward the
14736s	Box in their way with one a minute left
14739s	that is more time than KSA and we go to
14743s	extra
14750s	rounds look at how close blizzard rope
14753s	was look at how close every map has been
14757s	now we go into round three and four with
14760s	a 50c Time Bank difference for team
14763s	Finland an advantage that is get bigger
14767s	in a map like this because because with
14768s	only a minute left Saudi Arabia are
14771s	going to have to work up against that
14773s	clock to get some type of ultimate
14775s	online surette has been very good at
14778s	being able to charge up those alts but
14780s	with the Baptist Amari they're taking
14783s	ultimate charge away from each other and
14785s	it they be more difficult for them to
14787s	get an ALT online in that time yeah KSA
14790s	was a slow burn when they needed the 4K
14792s	of course they needed to throw ultimates
14795s	when it was cloud Who contested but when
14797s	it came to to finland's attack they
14799s	forced the C9 out of KSA when they got
14802s	walled off by Cloud time and time again
14805s	Finland is saved by
14808s	Cloud but the crowd is behind these
14811s	teams one minute 50c difference well a
14815s	50c difference but 1 minute for
14817s	KSA what the expectation is that with
14820s	one minute you get to point a if you can
14822s	get further than point a you are doing
14824s	fantastic take a look at the split exit
14827s	that Saudi AR are going to take got the
14829s	Alli on one side you've got the soier on
14832s	the other needing to push Finland out of
14835s	this choke want to make sure that they
14838s	are getting as far back as possible but
14839s	Vesta is holding strong here in the
14841s	front yeah
14844s	KSA funnel Finland out of this Metro but
14848s	Finland won't give up this position not
14850s	for free and bestus contesting too so
14853s	KSA need to win this fight and it's
14855s	precious seconds gone sir maette is on
14857s	the plank SAA makes a call immortality
14860s	from Mickey is down sauna has some time
14862s	to rotate away from sured and quz is low
14866s	lavda has so much work to do cuz suren
14869s	needs to focus on picks along with
14871s	quartz but it's KSA that have circled
14874s	their pre and KSA take the first
14878s	fight look at how much time that Finland
14881s	got off of that clock though it's going
14883s	to be overtime by the time that they get
14885s	back and Mickey's going to be the first
14886s	one in this Lobby to get Al online
14888s	unless zerma has anything to say about
14891s	it with the photon barrier from U as
14893s	well those turrets putting in a lot of
14895s	extra work and that could be the big
14897s	Difference Maker here for Saudi Arabia
14900s	to work with that minute time we saw
14902s	what Finland did when it was on the flip
14903s	side when they had less time captive Sun
14905s	versus a matrix KSA on The High Ground
14908s	this is a perfect angle for
14910s	cmed but he's already popped his shift
14913s	and Finland have teleported to The High
14915s	Ground and Matrix used by Mickey but yui
14917s	protects it team and the flux from KSA
14920s	gets Finland so weak and KSA march on to
14926s	C point a with the minute they had but
14929s	now team Finland they have the sound
14930s	barrier at their back they're going to
14932s	be able to use that in an aggressive
14935s	manner to stop the cart in its tracks
14938s	but Saudi Arabia have already captured
14941s	that first point they're going to be
14943s	getting a huge lead here and forcing
14946s	team Finland to have to catch up I'll
14948s	tell you what's next at ant Matrix
14950s	versus the sound barrier wait they got
14954s	off the
14955s	courts no
14960s	way no
14963s	way a
14967s	C9 can hear the crowd chanting it they
14970s	no that over time went back so fast you
14975s	and it was up to I think I saw KSA and
14977s	maybe one DS or something I don't know I
14979s	I blinked and it was gone but KSA was
14982s	the one around the cart I don't know
14983s	what courts they were both right there
14986s	courtz is trying to take an off angle
14988s	KSA wanted to push forward otherwise you
14990s	lose that front line battle but that
14993s	overtime have been there for so long
14995s	that you step off the cart even a half a
14997s	meter and it's gone just like that I'm
15000s	glad our co- streamer got couches cuz I
15002s	would have fallen out of my chair he
15004s	watch repl KSA no was actually somebody
15008s	was there yeah so they teleport KSA
15012s	steps forward to place the shield for Yu
15014s	and then you blink you miss it overtime
15017s	gone just step forward just like that
15020s	and that might be big mistake here for
15023s	Saudi Arabia and the difference between
15026s	moving on to the finals having to play
15028s	that third place
15031s	match down to this reverse sweep in the
15033s	card it is so on the table right now
15036s	it's still winnable for KSA with the the
15038s	one minute they have getting past point
15039s	a is big it is especially the box of
15041s	Victory I believe might have I don't
15043s	know if the doors open but either way
15044s	let's focus on this Finland have to get
15047s	around this corner how do they teleport
15051s	on top of UB that is probably the big
15053s	win condition quz is going to play on an
15055s	off angle he has to be careful
15059s	too Finland have to figure out what to
15061s	focus down and see that KSA is trying to
15064s	hold down the M shaft while Finland
15067s	start around the corner but it's all
15069s	about the fight on big girls yeah
15071s	Finland managed to teleport on The High
15073s	Ground besta it's making courtz very
15076s	uncomfortable even though he's not
15077s	looking at him and well Finland got very
15081s	much uh separated there as KSA were able
15085s	to jump down while Finland were
15087s	teleporting and KSA take the first fight
15089s	win it's going to be half the time bang
15092s	gone here for team Finland and a little
15094s	bit of breathing room for Saudi Arabia
15097s	as it's going to buy valuable time for
15099s	sured to try to get this captive Sun
15101s	online a lot of poke coming down from
15103s	Saudi Arabia onto team Finland where
15105s	they have to wait for this teleporter
15107s	they have to wait for these defensive
15109s	cool Downs to make their way into this
15111s	fight 35 seconds now team Finland now
15114s	their backs are against the wall here
15117s	KSA they can keep getting these first
15119s	picks off of course Finland cannot
15122s	afford to wait time is running out
15124s	they're worried about KSA on the top
15126s	left and Cloud just using ice block but
15128s	Finland has to take the risk the mayw
15131s	from cloud misses KSA is not locked down
15134s	but they've at
15135s	least pushed him back Finland have the
15138s	ant Matrix but with KSA on The High
15140s	Ground that is sured has the captive son
15144s	couple more seconds left it's new or die
15146s	for finin KSA can deny the reverse sweep
15151s	surette Let It Rain On Top of Mickey who
15154s	can you see at Matrix KSA one of Dro
15158s	some games but they head to the throne
15161s	it's been for
15169s	Finland what a hardfought battle and a
15172s	hardfought match I cannot believe that
15175s	we got a five M Banger especially after
15179s	the semifinal that we saw between China
15181s	and South Korea but it's going to be
15183s	Saudi Arabia versus China in the finals
15187s	of the OverWatch World Cup and so much
15192s	love for all of our teams that have
15194s	played out here in the arena so far
15197s	Finland put everything on the line in
15200s	this match and they got so close to that
15204s	reverse sweep they need to hold their
15206s	heads High hold your heads high and keep
15209s	your heart in check because I'm sure M
15213s	mine is racing I can't even imagine what
15215s	these players are going through but both
15218s	semi-finals went to game five and we're
15220s	actually going to have a panel coming up
15222s	where both all of our teams will get to
15224s	relax we'll have our third and fourth
15226s	place match it's team South Korea versus
15229s	Finland the battle for top three and in
15232s	then in the finals it's the team from
15234s	China versus Saudi Arabia being a chance
15237s	to Crown a new Champion here at the
15240s	OverWatch World Cup you guys are just
15243s	not going to want to miss this if the
15245s	semifinals were that good could you
15248s	imagine just how good this third place
15251s	match in this finals is going to be we
15253s	already had good news yesterday from

15390s	things the team is working

15396s	these brilliant people
15397s	working on all of the Fantastic things
15400s	coming soon to OverWatch
15403s	2 I'd like to kick things off this
15405s	session with a quick
15407s	intro I've been OverWatch franchise GM
15410s	since November
15412s	2021 while I spent most of my first year
15415s	as executive producer of OverWatch 2 I'm
15418s	now focused on Guiding OverWatch at the
15421s	franchise
15423s	level way back in
15425s	2013 an early in my blizzard career the
15429s	company made the decision to move
15431s	forward with a project code named
15435s	Prometheus I remember sitting in the
15437s	room that day and seeing the look of
15440s	wonder in the eyes of everyone around
15442s	the table it wasn't about numbers or Dev
15446s	schedules no the Magic in the room was
15450s	created by imagination imagination of
15453s	the adventures to come in the OverWatch
15456s	universe I had a similar feeling again
15459s	at Bisson in
15460s	2014 I sat in the crowd at opening
15463s	ceremony and I literally held my breath
15466s	as the announcement of OverWatch
15468s	approached and uh as that OverWatch logo
15471s	came up at the end of the first ever
15474s	cinematic the love in the hall felt as
15478s	close to tangible as I've ever
15481s	experienced since then we've shared
15484s	OverWatch as team based PVP in the
15487s	original game and now in OverWatch 2 and
15491s	we also shared stories about our heroes
15494s	in our cinematic pieces comics and short
15497s	stories but there are more stories to
15500s	tell and brand new experiences big and
15503s	small to share in the
15506s	future as GM I'm leading the exploration
15510s	to push the frontiers of OverWatch and
15512s	to reach
15513s	Beyond but today we're very excited to
15517s	talk about the cool things coming to
15518s	OverWatch 2 we're going to show you
15521s	stuff that's very much work in progress
15524s	and perhaps tell you things that would
15526s	make marketing
15527s	nervous but we really want to give you
15530s	as much visibility as we can into the
15532s	future of the
15533s	game before I hand it off to my
15536s	teammates I have some high level context
15538s	on where we're taking OverWatch 2 and
15541s	our goals for the next
15543s	year we're focused on giving the
15546s	millions of players in our game each day
15549s	the very best PVP experience we
15552s	can while we'll be mixing in PVE events
15555s	and modes and progressing
15557s	storytelling our main goal for OverWatch
15560s	2 is striving to make PVP gameplay more
15564s	rewarding and more fun for today Our
15568s	intention is to focus primarily on how

15775s	know mentioned yesterday
15777s	um sometimes very epic thing um you I
15782s	can't start with a small heart
15787s	felt yeah H felt moment and uh you know
15791s	this is you know the perfect example I
15794s	still remember the day that I created
15797s	this concept um you know I was walking
15800s	down the back alley of uh you know the
15802s	Japan Street with the you know the
15804s	Google Map and I got obsessed about a
15809s	small mom and pop store and I loved it
15812s	and I was thinking yes let's expand this
15817s	world with our lands it was a magical
15820s	moment that I cannot
15823s	forget just like that haramura was one
15826s	of the first location that really made a
15829s	team feel this is it this this is
15834s	OverWatch yes we can build this world
15837s	our vision of this universe instantly
15840s	became uh clear so um after we retired
15845s	some of those iconic m
15847s	uh you know we have wanted to find a way
15849s	to bring them back because hanamura is
15853s	loved and known to our players and to
15857s	our characters um also there were so
15860s	many stories we had developed around
15863s	this city right so um you know now with
15867s	this new Clash mode uh it was our
15870s	perfect opportunity to bring uh you know
15873s	our hanamura back uh however ever the
15877s	big question was uh how can we do this
15881s	without making it feel artificial um you
15884s	know considering we did not want to
15886s	remove the original location from our
15889s	game instead like we wanted to expand
15893s	the world because identity is so
15896s	important in our game um so we made a
15901s	new section of
15902s	hanamura a street right next to the
15905s	original map and we named our map hanoka
15909s	meaning Flower Hill you know you can
15913s	picture the image
15915s	right um when you play this map uh you
15919s	know you can't even see some section of
15921s	the original hanamura uh you know the
15923s	map in the backdrop uh as you can see in
15927s	this screenshot you know there is a
15930s	famous rkim Maru Raman shop um and you
15933s	know you can see the gate right behind
15936s	it right we all know what that gate is
15941s	that's famous choke point
15943s	yeah yeah so uh you know uh when you
15948s	play this in a game like you should be
15950s	able to tell where you are roughly um
15954s	and uh during this process we also made
15957s	a few new assets that can hint at the
15961s	stories of uh you know shamata Clan and
15964s	Hashimoto Clan uh also KIRO a Yokai
15968s	group uh and many others so as an
15971s	example uh you know what you're seeing
15973s	on the screen uh the tiger represent uh
15977s	you know hhoto Clan and the dragon
15979s	represent the shata clan in our story um
15983s	so we you know we created this a new
15985s	wall painting So subtly melting the
15989s	story into our uh
15991s	environment I don't know if you can feel
15994s	it but uh you know every step and
15996s	decision we made for this hanoka map was
15999s	pretty exciting personally as a fanboy
16003s	and I hope this map also makes you
16006s	excited as well yeah that joy that
16015s	uh that joy that Peter and his team have
16018s	put into the hannaha map really is
16021s	infectious and we're very excited for
16023s	players that loved hanamura to
16025s	re-experience it and for players that
16028s	are new to feel that Wonder for the
16030s	first
16031s	time all of our maps are these beautiful
16034s	works and Hannah OCH pushes that even
16037s	further thanks Peter thank
16044s	you yeah so clash it's the third new
16048s	game mode that we've made for for
16050s	OverWatch 2 the third new game mode
16052s	we've made for all of OverWatch after
16053s	push and flasho I think it's probably
16055s	important to to go into a bit of why we
16058s	even make new game modes for OverWatch
16061s	we we think it's really important to
16062s	always be developing new maps and we we
16065s	put out um several of them every year
16068s	but each time we do it when we build a
16071s	map for a a known game mode one that we
16074s	already have we can only make so many
16076s	changes to that map um like an escort
16079s	map it's always going to have three
16081s	sections and we use um really hard
16084s	Corners in those to provide choke points
16086s	um um for for the um for the offense to
16089s	get through um we try to provide as much
16093s	Variety in those but we really can't
16095s	make something completely different
16098s	until we start working on an entirely
16101s	new type of objective entirely new types
16103s	of game modes like if you look at
16105s	something like one of our escort Maps
16107s	like Dorado and then you compare that to
16110s	something like our flasho map like
16112s	surasa you can see those are very
16115s	different
16117s	levels and they provide different um a
16120s	different type of gameplay experience
16122s	too there's there's different strategies
16124s	when you play on different types of game
16126s	modes there's different Heroes and team
16128s	compositions that you might want to pick
16130s	so we think it's really important for us
16132s	to continue to do that um I don't know
16135s	like um how long we'll continually make
16138s	like a new game mode every year um but
16142s	we're not at the point where we think we
16143s	ought to stop yet um so let's let's talk
16147s	a little bit about um the history of of
16150s	clash and the history of 5cp because
16152s	Clash has five control points laid out
16155s	in a row this is not the first time the
16157s	OverWatch team um has tried to make a
16160s	5cp map we originally started making it
16164s	for volskaya um volskaya heavy industry
16167s	started as a 5cp map our early
16170s	prototypes um were of that and we had
16173s	like five control points laid out in a
16175s	row and originally we called it iron
16177s	star these images right here um were
16181s	were pieces that Peter did um long time
16184s	ago as we were working on iron star and
16187s	I think you did these when we were on
16189s	Project Titan before OverWatch right mhm
16193s	yeah how old are these images do you
16195s	think I don't exactly recall but I like
16198s	it it looks
16200s	cool like maybe 2010 or something like
16203s	that and so we even had um CP maps on
16207s	Project Titan that we were doing um and
16210s	we even had a variant of it that was um
16212s	a three CP map and when you look at 3cp
16216s	where there's like a point in the middle
16217s	and one on each side it's almost like a
16220s	symmetrical version of assault or what
16223s	the community would call 2cp for
16225s	OverWatch um I'm assuming most of you
16228s	know what it is if you're new to to
16230s	OverWatch 2 and didn't play the original
16232s	game 2cp was a game mode where there was
16235s	an off offense and a defense and the
16237s	offense would try to capture two control
16239s	points in a row um and we had a lot of
16243s	issues with to CP um that we were never
16246s	really able to solve um and the two
16248s	biggest ones they're related to each
16250s	other um the offense um sometimes would
16254s	just get stalled out at the first choke
16256s	point in an assault map and the way
16258s	those Maps were designed because there
16259s	was only two objectives we really
16261s	favored the defense from a level design
16263s	point of view but sometimes the offense
16266s	would make no progress in the map time
16268s	would run out they would lose it felt
16270s	like the match had like no story to it
16273s	almost like nothing even happened over
16275s	the course of that game and on the other
16277s	side sometimes because OverWatch can be
16280s	a game that snowballs a bit the offense
16282s	would get an early pick they'd win a
16284s	team fight instantly take the first
16286s	point they'd all have their SS run to
16289s	point um to point B um Wipe Out the
16292s	enemy team and then like win the whole
16294s	game or the round if it was competitive
16296s	and they could do all of this in under a
16298s	minute seconds sometimes yeah in 30
16300s	seconds in like the most extreme
16302s	examples and it just felt like on the
16303s	defense you had like no opportunity to
16307s	respond to that like the answer was like
16309s	you shouldn't have one person die very
16311s	early in the match you know and it's
16313s	like it just it didn't work so we spent
16315s	months and months trying to fix it and
16317s	we never were really able to come up
16319s	with something that worked that didn't
16321s	require us to completely rebuild some of
16323s	those Maps one of the things we did try
16325s	was we like greatly expanded the cap
16328s	time um for those control points it was
16330s	like over a minute to take them some of
16332s	the time um and um there was some
16335s	promise there was a lot of fun but the
16337s	way those maps are built defending a
16340s	point from the defense never really
16342s	worked the map geometry um didn't didn't
16346s	really like let that happen in like a
16348s	fluid way but we kind of always kept
16350s	that in the back of our mind so when we
16352s	started to develop Clash we we thought
16355s	of some of those experiments because we
16357s	knew the community um had a love for for
16361s	assault a love for 2cp um because when
16364s	it played right it was pretty amazing
16366s	like I really loved assault um and so we
16370s	started thinking of a version of it um
16373s	or it maybe it's not a successor but at
16375s	least some of the mechanics were
16376s	inspired by 2cp and so we started
16379s	working on Clash um and so that's like I
16382s	can I can get into a bit of the rules
16384s	and the way Clash works that I guess was
16387s	the Preamble for the way Clash Works um
16391s	I was a history major I always like go
16393s	into the past before I get to the Future
16396s	sorry um so yeah so there are five
16398s	control points um and in at the start of
16401s	the game each team owns the two control
16403s	points that are closest to their side of
16406s	the map and the middle point is the
16408s	neutral control Point that's the one
16410s	that both teams are going to fight over
16413s	um for all the people here at BlizzCon
16414s	you can think of it as BlizzCon Point C
16418s	is the OverWatch World Cup the arena
16420s	over here is point a and the warcraft
16423s	section is point e all the way down at
16425s	the at the other end of the Halls um so
16428s	um the the center control point is going
16431s	to going to unlock and both teams fight
16433s	over that when one team captures that
16436s	the um a new control point is going to
16439s	unlock in the direction that the offense
16441s	is moving if you've played other
16444s	multiplayer games with CP typically
16447s	those have two control points active at
16449s	any time um we don't do it here um we
16453s	just have one at a time every time we've
16455s	tried to make more than one objective
16458s	active for OverWatch the game just
16461s	doesn't work the same as it does like
16463s	some of the magic is gone um the the ma
16467s	like the magic of OverWatch is two teams
16469s	working together for a common objective
16471s	and the heroes um sort of like relying
16474s	on each other to do that um so the in
16477s	this example um Point D would unlock um
16480s	if um Team One were to take Point D they
16484s	would um then point e would unlock and
16486s	if they were to actually go all the way
16488s	through and capture Point e um then team
16492s	one would win um it doesn't happen that
16494s	often it's it's very defensive favor at
16497s	that point it even takes longer um to
16499s	capture um as as the offense um and so
16502s	typically this match starts moving back
16505s	and forth and the offense um will push a
16508s	certain a certain distance and then they
16510s	won't take the next point the defense
16512s	will take it and then the defense starts
16514s	moving so it almost feels a little bit
16515s	like 2 CP but you're moving back and
16518s	forth across the map um each of these um
16520s	points they when you take one your team
16523s	will score a point so we do have a
16524s	maximum score in there um sometimes 5cp
16527s	can devolve into these hourlong matches
16531s	where nobody's able to push all the way
16532s	through um that's our early out in this
16535s	phase where you get to a certain score
16537s	we're still tuning that right now but
16538s	you'll hit a certain score and then your
16540s	team will also win right there Aaron
16542s	would you say it's our sweatiest game
16544s	mode yet some people on the team say
16546s	that this is like the sweatiest version
16549s	of OverWatch cuz you do move back and
16551s	forth a lot you have a lot of moments
16554s	where um there there's a lot less chokes
16556s	in a map like this we don't have the
16558s	same sort of chokes at 2 CP did so
16560s	there's a lot of free movement back and
16562s	forth and there's a lot of cool
16564s	strategies you can have you know you're
16566s	going to take a point sometimes and you
16568s	start pushing your team forward to start
16570s	just getting a positional advantage on
16572s	the next one it could be really fun yeah
16574s	something I really like about you know
16576s	this process that you know we were you
16578s	know developing this game um like not
16581s	like you know we wait a long time before
16584s	we uh you know finalize anything and
16586s	like we were just like quickly building
16588s	it and blocking it out and put it in the
16590s	game and test it and get the fitback and
16593s	fix it and put it rep put it in the game
16595s	so you know that kind of uh uh uh uh you
16598s	know collaboration you know between our
16600s	team members was very meaningful and in
16602s	a way you know very similar to uh this
16607s	the fast sweed is the game mode uh you
16610s	know the fastpac you know the game mode
16612s	yeah it's like really interesting to
16614s	think about like the team really came
16615s	together for this our our team has grown
16618s	a lot over the years we have a lot of
16619s	new people on the OverWatch team and
16621s	this is the first time that we've
16623s	actually created a new game mode from
16625s	scratch with all new people on the team
16628s	Gavin winter was a part of it um the Le
16631s	level designer on it Morton um he wasn't
16634s	on the original OverWatch and so these
16635s	people like really came together and
16637s	it's like this new team this new group
16639s	of people that were able to pull this
16640s	off and I'm like so proud of all of them
16642s	um to be able to do something like
16647s	this okay um so that's Clash um and
16651s	we're going to talk a lot more about PVP
16654s	changes coming coming to the game and
16656s	heroes but before we get into that
16658s	Monica can you get into some of the PVE
16660s	updates that are coming yeah super
16663s	excited to be here chatting with you
16664s	guys um you know PVE encompasses so many
16667s	different things and we are working on
16668s	some really fun stuff for next year uh
16671s	for most of it we don't have any
16673s	specifics that we can share just yet uh
16676s	I know I'm a monster I'm sorry uh but
16678s	it's it's really awesome to see how
16680s	invested people are and what's going to
16681s	happen with the OverWatch story uh both
16683s	Canon and non-canon with the heroes in
16685s	the universe uh the team has received
16688s	some really great feedback from players
16690s	that we're going through and we're using
16691s	all of that to inform how we develop all
16693s	of the cool stuff coming next uh but for
16695s	right now I'm really excited to share
16697s	some major updates coming in season 8
16699s	for hero
16701s	Mastery the thing that I really love
16703s	about OverWatch is that it isn't just
16704s	one thing there is something for
16706s	everyone for folks that wanted a solo
16708s	Challenge and leaderboard experience we
16710s	introduced hero Mastery this past
16712s	September it's been so much fun for us
16714s	to see players in the courses trying to
16716s	top their previous scores and get better
16718s	so we're really excited to expand the
16720s	roster of playable Heroes the scores go
16722s	to the 100th of a second now that's too
16726s	Opie coming in season eight we'll have
16729s	five new Heroes joining hero Mastery
16731s	those will be Diva Ekko Genji Lucio and
16737s	[Applause]
16741s	may plus we're also excited to have
16743s	leaderboard resets go with this update
16746s	and we'll also be introducing replay
16748s	bookmarks so you could rewatch parts of
16749s	your gameplay and look for areas to
16751s	improve your score I really enjoyed you
16754s	know hero Mastery uh you personally uh
16757s	you know as of being you know support
16759s	main I don't supp support
16760s	[Laughter]
16764s	Mains um yeah as of being you know
16766s	support main you I don't get to play the
16768s	tank too much like I wanted to uh you
16771s	know expand my you know hero roster um
16774s	but uh you know I didn't have a proper
16777s	introduction to you know that role so
16779s	hero Mastery was you know the perfect
16781s	opportunity for me to jump in um and you
16784s	know like practice my skill and
16787s	especially you know when I was you know
16788s	doing that with r art like like it was
16792s	such a great moment for uh you know for
16794s	me to learn the like a control of you
16797s	know charge when to charge when how to
16799s	stop like how early should I stop uh so
16802s	that was just you know the very fun
16804s	moment you know that I had with a hero
16807s	Mastery are you at top 500 Reinhardt now
16810s	getting close close
16812s	soon keeping with the philosophy of
16815s	having something for everyone uh we
16816s	don't want to limit the Hero Mass year
16818s	experience for folks who want to play
16819s	with their friends or maybe meet new
16821s	ones in game for me OverWatch has been a
16823s	social game and we're really looking
16825s	forward to bringing that into hero
16826s	Mastery next year with hero Mastery
16830s	Gauntlet uh this new three-player co-op
16833s	mode uh features the hero mastery art
16835s	kit Bots and all new gameplay that is
16837s	focused on enemy waves and Tower Defense
16840s	we have some work in progress footage up
16842s	here where you could see the three
16843s	Gauntlet Towers which are our objective
16846s	points the goal for the team is to
16848s	defend the towers from attacking Bots
16850s	there will be exploding Bots flying Bots
16852s	all sort of varieties there and it's
16855s	really fun to challenge CH juggling the
16857s	defense of three towers the different
16858s	kinds of bots and different ways to
16860s	power up um and so as a result you want
16863s	to make sure that you're defending well
16865s	in your Towers getting powerups on all
16867s	of them there's uh air strikes that you
16870s	could call in if you're being sworn by
16871s	Bots or you can generate healing for the
16873s	entire team this this is awesome as I
16876s	just shared like I had a lot of fun with
16878s	the hero Mastery right um but like now
16881s	you can play Hero Mastery plus uh I'm a
16885s	big fan of um like tower defense mode
16888s	and like you can do that with your
16890s	friends I there leaderboards for this
16893s	too so like it's there's going to be
16895s	like a crazy race when this one comes
16897s	out it's really really hard too is a
16900s	great thing yeah I I played it recently
16902s	and my uh two of my Towers just went
16904s	down immediately um got to practice some
16906s	more I had a really funny moment on
16909s	Monday we were doing a stream on j3's
16910s	stream and someone in the chat asked um
16913s	would we ever do a tower defense mode
16914s	and I said that is very interesting
16916s	interesting you ask
16918s	that when Gauntlet ships uh we're going
16921s	to have Heroes rotate seasonally and
16923s	we're also going to have new custom
16924s	rewards from challenges we really want
16926s	each game to feel highly replayable and
16928s	really unique so we're really excited
16930s	for you all to jump into Gauntlet with
16931s	your friends next
16938s	year it's going to be super super fun
16941s	Okay so we've heard um just a little bit
16944s	of feedback on our competitive System
16947s	since we did a rework last year um and
16950s	we've we've listened to all of it it's
16953s	it's important for us to to to hear what
16955s	you all have to say so um we've been
16958s	hard at work on a pretty big overhaul to
16961s	it um and Gavin um is here to to talk us
16965s	through it thanks Aaron um first I want
16967s	to tell you about our approach to
16969s	improving competitive play so um as most
16971s	of you know we have some big problems to
16973s	solve uh we're not transparent about how
16975s	we construct our matches how your rank
16977s	is determined or how our rewards
16980s	function um most of you have all the
16982s	golden weapons you'd ever want so giving
16984s	you competitive points doesn't feel
16986s	great um and since we launched OverWatch
16989s	2 we've had issues with the way players
16990s	are distributed at our highest and
16993s	lowest strengths but thankfully though
16995s	these problems uh make our goals pretty
16997s	straightforward we need to put more
16999s	feedback in the game about every aspect
17001s	of competitive that we can we need new
17003s	rewards and imp improved Clarity around
17006s	how to get them and we need to address
17009s	the pain points things like how bad it
17011s	feels to be on a lost
17012s	streak yeah so yeah I it's
17018s	yeah we've heard that a lot we've
17020s	definitely heard that a lot it's doesn't
17024s	feel good to have 14 losses in a r no no
17027s	so in season 9 we're introducing a
17029s	variety of changes to competitive play
17031s	uh first we're removing the requirement
17033s	to get five wins or 15 losses to get a
17035s	competitive update um
17038s	yeah
17041s	um so you know law streaks would
17043s	guarantee that you were going to rank
17044s	down so what's the incentive to keep
17046s	playing if you're on one um in its place
17049s	we're adding a new page that makes your
17051s	rank more transparent than
17053s	ever let's go we call this the
17057s	competitive overview with this new
17059s	system your rank will update after every
17062s	match win or loss the progress bar at
17065s	the bottom shows exactly how much your
17067s	rank increased after this win you can
17069s	see that ranking up to Plat five is on
17071s	the right and ranking down to gold two
17072s	is on the left and when you hit that so
17075s	when you win a game and it hits and it
17077s	it hits plat five you immediately rank
17080s	up to Plat five you're not waiting extra
17082s	games to do something like that it just
17084s	happens yeah um
17086s	[Applause]
17091s	yeah so we call those green arrows below
17094s	that progress bar rank modifiers they
17097s	show why your rank changed the way it
17099s	did so since we want to be as precise as
17102s	possible um so these are explained in
17104s	DET detail by the information button on
17106s	this page but an example here is streak
17109s	uh this one means you ranked up even
17111s	more because you're on a wi
17113s	streak um we'll talk about that smaller
17115s	progress bar in the top right in a
17116s	moment but as you can see at the bottom
17118s	we've also added a link that takes you
17120s	straight to the final scoreboard yeah
17122s	and there's um there's also a rank
17125s	progress um it might be hard to read
17127s	it's a little bit small on the screen
17129s	but it's right above that bar right
17130s	there and right now it says your rank
17132s	progress It's 85% so you can see your
17135s	exactly 85% of the way to the next rank
17139s	um there's there's a lot of people um
17141s	when we get feedback a lot of people
17143s	were asking us to bring Sr back it was
17145s	it was the system that we had on
17147s	OverWatch one um and we did have a few
17151s	issues with Sr and um maybe like two of
17155s	the biggest ones or one it was it was a
17157s	very arbitrary number to just say you
17159s	were
17160s	2374 arbitrary 2374 everybody knows
17163s	about 237
17165s	and it does like we recognize it it does
17167s	take on meaning after a while for people
17169s	that are playing with it what we're
17171s	hoping here is that you're gold one and
17173s	you're 85 you're you're 85% of the way
17176s	through gold one and that that actually
17179s	has more more meaning for the vast
17181s	majority of players um and also at the
17184s	same time the the difference between a
17187s	gold three and a gold four sometimes is
17190s	just it's like less than Four Winds away
17192s	from each other and so that that wasn't
17195s	necessarily conveyed very well through
17198s	the SR system we we really like having
17201s	these divisions in there and we really
17202s	want people to know precisely where they
17204s	are in that Division and so that's
17206s	that's the reason we went this way
17209s	obviously we listen to feedback you know
17212s	like um the system can can evolve over
17215s	time but this is this is where it's at
17217s	right now yeah thanks
17219s	yeah
17222s	um yeah so when we launch season 9 we'll
17226s	also be resetting ranks and bringing
17228s	placements back to OverWatch 2 so this
17232s	isn't a full MMR reset but it will give
17234s	you a chance to make a big change to
17236s	your rank uh because your placements
17238s	game games will count for a lot more we
17241s	want to do that every year along with
17243s	some big changes to our systems and
17245s	herob balance we want to give everyone a
17247s	chance to earn a new rank because we'll
17250s	also be redistributing players at all
17252s	ranks those of you in bronze 5 silver 5
17256s	and silver 4 know how hard it can be to
17258s	rank up in our current system and we can
17260s	fix that with the redistribution those
17262s	of you in Grandmaster one also know that
17264s	we have more Grand Masters uh than we
17267s	ever did in OverWatch one so as part of
17270s	this redistribution we're also adding a
17272s	new rank above grandmas called
17276s	ultimate we want to update our
17277s	competitive rewards every year
17279s	too so in season 9 we'll be adding
17282s	Emerald weapons um now this Art's not
17285s	final uh but hopefully it gives you an
17287s	idea of the types of rewards we want to
17289s	add each new year I need those emeralds
17291s	zenyata balls they look so cool me too
17295s	um so when we add Emerald weapons we'll
17297s	convert all of our current competitive
17299s	points into a legacy currency that you
17301s	can still spend on Golden Weapons if you
17303s	want but to show these off you'll need
17305s	to earn competitive points in the new
17307s	season yeah and I think what's like
17309s	really exciting about this I I I love
17311s	the new redesign but there is this
17313s	annual Cadence that we are trying to
17315s	bring into the competitive side in
17317s	OverWatch and I know when we first
17319s	launched OverWatch 2 the seasonal reset
17322s	in placement was was very controversial
17325s	um but this is going along with a whole
17328s	set of of additional rewards a
17331s	redistribution of players across the
17333s	ranks and we think that that initial set
17335s	of placements now is is worth it to get
17338s	everything else that we've got and it's
17339s	also like a really exciting moment for
17341s	players to look forward to um on an
17343s	annual basis
17345s	yeah every two months was probably way
17346s	too often yeah so um going back to
17349s	solving our problems um we know that the
17351s	competitive challenges page was really
17353s	confusing um and that was the only place
17355s	to see how to earn our rewards so we're
17358s	removing competitive challenges and
17360s	building a new page to show progress
17362s	towards seasonal
17364s	rewards we think this page is a much
17366s	cleaner way to show rewards and the
17368s	requirements to get them you may have
17371s	also noticed that smaller progress bar
17372s	in the top right again instead of our
17375s	old end of season challenges that
17376s	rewarded competitive points based on
17378s	your final rank wins and losses both
17381s	progress you toward big payouts of
17382s	competitive points uh but just like our
17384s	current weekly challenges wins Grant a
17387s	lot of bonus
17389s	progress and um another small
17391s	Improvement we're going to make is
17392s	showing the range of ranks in the match
17395s	instead of just the average you can see
17396s	that in the top
17402s	left we're also planning a lot of bigger
17404s	changes after season 9 uh like with
17407s	grouping and competitive for example we
17409s	want players to be able to play with
17410s	their friends so we'll be removing most
17413s	of our current grouping
17415s	restrictions to do that though we have
17417s	to rethink how we make competitive
17418s	matches so if you're a diamond player
17421s	and you want a group with your bronze
17422s	friend we'll allow that but we'll
17425s	classify your group as a wide group
17427s	you'll only play against other wide
17429s	groups and we'll try to find groups with
17432s	a similar shape as yours um so if you're
17435s	a diamond tank and your friend is a
17436s	bronze support we'll try to find another
17439s	Diamond tank and bronze support for the
17441s	other team no promises um as you
17444s	probably guessed the existence of wide
17446s	groups also means we'll have narrow
17448s	groups and this is great as a solo
17450s	player because you'll only ever play
17452s	with narrow groups or other solos so we
17455s	expect to see some big improvements to
17457s	match quality for solo
17463s	players I'm kind of excited because I
17465s	used to I used to play OverWatch with my
17468s	kids but they're teenagers and they just
17470s	started getting better than me um and my
17473s	my oldest ended up becoming Masters and
17475s	we couldn't even group together anymore
17477s	so now with this new system they'll have
17479s	to find another excuse to not play with
17482s	me yeah literal skill issue um another
17486s	one is this gives us fewer Smurfs um
17489s	since the only way to avoid avoid our
17491s	current grouping restrictions right now
17493s	to play with your friends is to create
17494s	new accounts so you won't need to do
17495s	that anymore
17499s	cool okay so that's um that's the update
17502s	on the the competitive system and um you
17506s	can't play comp without Heroes um and I
17509s	know we teased a few heroes in opening
17511s	ceremony yesterday um and Daryl's team
17515s	has created some amazing concept art to
17517s	show for some of those Heroes take it
17519s	away all right yeah thanks Aaron
17527s	creating creating such a be visually
17530s	unique and beautiful game like OverWatch
17532s	2 takes a lot of time and iteration in a
17535s	malga deep dive panel yesterday the team
17537s	went through some of these processes
17539s	from coming up with a hero idea to
17542s	drawing the concept art to the modeling
17544s	then building their abilities then
17546s	actually putting it all into the game we
17549s	have a bunch of hero ideas and Concepts
17551s	always brewing and during the opening
17553s	ceremony AR anes two of these Heroes so
17556s	let's get into them next year we'll be
17559s	releasing three new Heroes a tank a
17562s	support and a damage hero internally we
17565s	are already testing all three of these
17568s	heroes in their various States and more
17570s	we're testing More Heroes more and more
17573s	always more even though they're already
17575s	undergoing testing we aren't ready to
17577s	show all three of them just yet the hero
17580s	coming in season 14 is far enough that
17583s	we're going to keep that to ourselves
17584s	for now I have to stress that a lot can
17588s	still change this far out including
17590s	abilities and even their in-game models
17593s	uh but here is what we can show you in
17595s	season 12 the next support hero will be
17597s	released currently known and the
17599s	development team by the code name Space
17601s	Ranger she will be our first hero in the
17605s	for the Mars colony she's so cute I love
17608s	her so much thanks
17610s	Monica um we aren't quite ready to show
17612s	her in action just yet but but we do
17614s	have some early concept art of what she
17615s	currently looks like yeah I won't dive
17618s	into her kit either but she's a highly
17620s	Mobile support hero who has um quite a
17622s	bit of vertical mobility to that end she
17625s	has no lack of thrusters on her suits
17628s	and all over her boots as well and when
17631s	we say that things are still changing
17633s	Space Ranger is a perfect example her
17635s	gun has already changed from what we're
17637s	showing here um not only that but as
17640s	production moves along we will
17642s	inevitably run into other elements on
17644s	her design we will have to iterate on
17647s	when we fully reveal her for season 12
17649s	we can talk about all the changes we
17651s	made to her from the early drawings that
17653s	you guys see over here to the final
17655s	model and the final Concepts so Space
17658s	Ranger likes battling her foes from Air
17661s	and Space how about a hero now that
17664s	battles under the ground in season 10
17667s	you'll get to play as our newest damage
17668s	hero
17669s	Venture they are our second and a half
17672s	Canadian hero people often forget that
17675s	Farah is half Canadian myself included
17678s	I'm half Canadian
17680s	too the fantasy we're going for with
17682s	Venture is that of a swashbuckling
17685s	archaeologist they have an unquenchable
17687s	thirst for past treasures and hidden
17689s	secrets and will go any which way to get
17691s	to them and for Venture that way is
17694s	often down Venture uses their powerful
17696s	drill to dig through the map um to
17699s	attack the opposing team because this
17702s	drill was so um comp Lex in its moving
17705s	pieces right um and has a lot of cical
17707s	geometry kjun Wang our senior concept
17710s	artist who worked on Venture decided to
17712s	employ 3D modeling early in the ideation
17714s	phases even for the weapon and now I'll
17716s	toss it over to Aon to show you guys
17718s	some of how this weapon works yeah okay
17721s	so we have some early gameplay footage
17723s	of uh Venture from a recent play test
17727s	um here we go this is the loading screen
17730s	we always do those kind of like silly
17732s	little portraits one of our artists
17733s	talki does those um before the the the
17736s	they're ready burrowing underground is
17739s	kind of amazing so they can like burst
17741s	up out of the ground um do additional
17743s	damage has vertical mobility to it they
17746s	move around the map really well this
17748s	this weapon is amazing it shoots a
17750s	projectile out a set distance and it
17752s	explodes right there it's like it's
17754s	really nice to be able to hit people
17755s	even around corners with that thing when
17758s	they when they duck out of the way um
17761s	the Dig also it like the most important
17763s	part of this is it it makes you
17764s	invulnerable you know so it's like you
17766s	can't be hit when you're underground
17768s	it's a great great way to escape it's
17770s	also a great way to get in close to
17772s	players um you pop up like that um and
17775s	then you have a dash as well and so the
17777s	dash you can do it in the air you can
17779s	Dash underground if you want to when
17781s	you're moving um it's all it's all
17784s	around just like a really really fun kit
17787s	to use we have this um this idea or this
17790s	goal that we try to do with Heroes on
17792s	OverWatch and um I think we're able to
17794s	hit it on on DPS Heroes a little bit
17796s	more than some of the other ones but as
17798s	much as we can we just want it to be fun
17800s	to hit the buttons you know like move
17802s	around a space and just kind of have
17804s	like some Joy there and Venture I think
17807s	is is one of those Heroes um where they
17810s	just um are fun to hit the buttons with
17814s	hey Aon I you know to expand on that
17816s	point uh you know when I was a play
17818s	testing Venture I also literally you
17820s	know just I kept hitting you know the
17821s	button you know to borrow in and out you
17824s	without any reason um but you know it
17827s	was a feeling so Snappy uh you know just
17830s	a big shout out to our animation and FX
17832s	team to you know make this happen y so
17835s	this was felt
17837s	good now we um we didn't show the old
17840s	we're we're holding that till season 10
17843s	until we till we fully reveal the hero
17845s	um so there's more to
17847s	come um so um these are just some of the
17851s	things that the team is working on
17853s	there's so much much more um and uh next
17856s	year you know we'll we'll like have a
17859s	lot more things to talk to you about a
17860s	lot more things to to reveal than we
17862s	could have just fit here within 45
17865s	minutes I want to say that uh improving
17868s	the overall play experience is really
17870s	important to us and this uh goes beyond
17874s	just game modes and new Heroes but also
17877s	how everyone engages with the game's
17879s	meta systems so one last thing I want to
17882s	mention that know people are really
17884s	interested in is a set of changes and
17888s	updates to the battle
17891s	pass an initiative we're working on for
17893s	next year is a redesign of the battle
17896s	pass and we're deep in the process of
17898s	working through this which means we
17902s	aren't ready yet to go through the
17903s	details but I want to give you a small
17905s	glimpse of what we're
17907s	thinking one goal is to offer players
17911s	more agency when it comes to the Mythic
17913s	skin reward let me talk through a couple
17917s	of specific
17918s	cases players progressing through the
17920s	premium battle pass today are able to
17923s	unlock the latest Mythic skin each
17926s	season but what if you don't play the
17928s	hero with that Mythic skin it's going to
17931s	make the battle pass a little less
17932s	exciting to you in a different case you
17936s	miss the chance to get Cyber demon Genji
17940s	because you weren't around to play that
17941s	first season what we want to do is to
17945s	address both of these scenarios by
17947s	giving you the option to earn any single
17951s	Mythic skin we've ever released when you
17953s	play through the premium battle
17962s	pass but beyond this we're aiming to
17965s	make play in OverWatch 2 more rewarding
17969s	with a total set of changes to the
17971s	battle pass uh we'll have have more to
17974s	share on that next
17976s	year some of what we presented may
17979s	change between now and release but we
17982s	wanted to be as open as possible on what
17985s	we're developing planning or even
17987s	thinking
17988s	about and uh this doesn't even touch on
17991s	the longer term franchise plan but
17994s	that's really a discussion for another
17996s	day finally I want to say that everyone
17999s	here represents hundreds of employees on
18002s	our team who care so much about this
18004s	game and this work and we can't wait to
18007s	release it all thank you Bliss
18014s	con yeah I'll just I'll add on to that
18017s	really quick this team is made of like
18020s	so many talented amazing people and this
18022s	is just a small glimpse of everything
18025s	that we're working on and even a glimpse
18027s	that of things that we didn't talk about
18029s	today like an image of a Peru map that's
18032s	coming in the future that we also
18034s	started this presentation off with and
18036s	um there was um I'm sure people will
18039s	talk about it online the next few days
18041s	some other Easter eggs in this
18042s	presentation that um kind of give hints
18045s	at some of the things that are coming
18046s	next year as well um so thank you
18049s	everyone so much and we'll see you on
18051s	the streets of

18062s	hanaoka
18092s	Legacy
18094s	Legacy is forever
18097s	domir
18098s	unbelievable all year long teams around
18101s	the world have battled chasing Glory
18104s	hoping to Edge their Homeland into
18106s	history books that is insane they still
18109s	fracking like a madman and it's a fan
18112s	Rampage oh what
18115s	what they've tasted victory they've
18118s	overcome defeat and all along the hopes
18121s	of their fans have lifted them
18123s	absolutely beautiful and now at long
18127s	last the OverWatch World Cup finals are
18132s	here and for the first time in 4 years
18136s	we're all together once more Back to
18139s	Where it All
18141s	Began each team can see their name on
18143s	the championship
18145s	TR the community has rallied behind them
18148s	and the wait is finally over I miss you
18151s	dearly the OverWatch world Cup finals
18154s	start
18155s	[Music]
18159s	now welcome back everyone Zoe here
18163s	joined by Mitch Matt and Johnny and
18166s	we're about to dig into this third place
18169s	decid match between team Finland and of
18172s	course the squad from South Korea once
18175s	more here is the bracket this is how we
18177s	got here for that bronze medal match bit
18180s	of a surprise of course for a lot of
18181s	people who may have missed out on the
18182s	group stages quarterfinals and the
18184s	semi-finals to find South Korean
18186s	disposition I mean look I wouldn't blame
18189s	you for feeling that way but if you'd
18190s	seen how strong the team from China
18192s	looked perhaps maybe not so shocked we
18194s	got maximum OverWatch as the the great
18196s	Andrew Rush said peak OverWatch was
18198s	played in our semi-finals that series
18201s	was insane yeah I mean that was you know
18203s	probably the best match we've seen so
18205s	far this year right and now really you
18207s	have to look at South Korea perhaps a
18209s	bit of you know Vengeance in mind here
18211s	will they take it out on Finland in a
18212s	third place match well let's take a look
18214s	at the rosters who are going at it
18216s	starting with the team from Europe
18218s	Finland they unfortunately just lost
18220s	their last match so it's going to be
18223s	rough yeah absolutely but this team is
18225s	incredible what I love about them so
18226s	much is they're really leaning into the
18228s	May and the symmetra look they are not
18230s	shifting away from these Sigma setups
18233s	and I've got to say they did they've
18234s	done a great job at showcasing that
18236s	against Saudi Arabia they're a team with
18238s	that Sim that really leans into the
18239s	creative urges to set up strong team
18242s	fights yeah now you see the lineup for
18245s	South Korea here uh Hanan will actually
18247s	be in the lineup to start things off you
18249s	see a lot of Sigma on the other side for
18250s	Finland so uh fully expect to see it
18253s	here now for South Korea uh Jonathan
18256s	what do you think about this line yeah I
18258s	mean look I think it's interesting that
18259s	they're swapping over to hen here in
18260s	this matchup because they did want to
18262s	match the team from China when it came
18264s	to that dive composition but now you're
18266s	playing Team Finland who are going to
18268s	play the sigma composition now you want
18269s	to take that mirror as well so South
18271s	Korea can't really decide their flavor
18273s	this tournament they did this last time
18275s	against Finland this is actually a
18276s	rematch yeah and they're going to come
18279s	for a rematch I think South Korea will
18281s	be very eager to not make this one a
18283s	close one as well in case you missed it
18284s	they faced off against each other in the
18286s	group stages and Finland made them sweat
18288s	all right let's take a look at our
18290s	predictions for this one I had to go
18292s	with South Korea no matter how strong
18294s	and clean and surgical Finland did look
18296s	like I still think that pound for pound
18299s	South Korea just has the better players
18301s	they are more experienced there's lot of
18303s	synergy in that team and while the
18305s	compositions may have looked wonky here
18306s	and there I think they have this one in
18308s	the back uh again this is really about
18309s	setting up lip on team South Korea I'm
18312s	also predicting that we will see a South
18314s	Korea Victory a 3 to1 but this comp the
18317s	sigma comp is fallible it's probably the
18319s	weakest look for South Korea out of the
18320s	two picks yeah I went South Korea as
18322s	well but seeing Han been in it's like
18325s	kind of bizarre to say like I feel a
18327s	little bit less confident like I think
18329s	the Sigma versus Sigma head-to-head
18330s	could be a bit of an issue I went South
18332s	Korea but wouldn't be surprised if
18334s	Finland had a really close match yeah I
18335s	went with South Korea too look they are
18337s	the better team but Finland I mean there
18340s	this would be an incredible achievement
18341s	for Finland in the World Cup right this
18343s	would mean so much to them so they're
18345s	probably coming in with a lot of
18346s	motivation for this match it would be
18348s	the highest that uh that team has ever
18351s	placed team Finland in 2016 placed
18353s	fourth I believe and after that they
18355s	didn't make it past the uh the
18356s	preliminaries or even qualifiers so this
18359s	is a lot on the line for both of those
18361s	teams South Korea looking for Revenge
18363s	let's see if they can get it it is now
18365s	time to meet our
18367s	teams let's meet your first Squad it's
18370s	team
18372s	[Applause]
18374s	Finland team Finland coming into the
18376s	third place match after suffering defeat
18378s	against Saud Arabia but they had so much
18380s	fight and spirit in that matchup almost
18383s	reverse weeping Saudi Arabia so many
18385s	standout players from this team this
18387s	tournament cloud has had a phenomenal
18389s	May so far this tournament and Bola of
18391s	course bringing back to memory some of
18393s	his time in the OverWatch League this
18395s	squad is one to watch out for and maybe
18397s	they could upset South Korea to gain
18398s	third place here in the world
18401s	cup and their opponents team South
18409s	Korea the tiger still hungers we are
18412s	looking at four fths of a 2022 World
18415s	Champion Squad with lip in this lineup
18419s	someone they're looking to really set up
18421s	for success in a match like this and
18422s	they needed of course they got Fearless
18424s	they' got Finn waiting in the wings a
18426s	bit of defeat at the hands of the team
18428s	from China you best believe they're
18430s	looking to take it out on
18434s	Finland both teams eager to take home
18438s	that bronze medal let's see which one
18440s	will come out on top and here to take
18442s	you through all the action on Lemon kiwi
18443s	and
18444s	nectra thank you so much soe it's the
18448s	rematch of a lifetime the script writes
18451s	itself NE Finland versus South Korea
18455s	both these teams went at it Finland was
18457s	the first team to prove to us that South
18459s	Korea could be
18461s	beatable this might be a hot take but I
18464s	think team Finland might be able to get
18466s	this win they made that match in the
18470s	group stage Incredibly Close incredibly
18475s	competitive and the lot like it was
18477s	winnable it was winnable when we took a
18479s	look at that third and final map that
18482s	they played play in the group stage that
18484s	flash point could not have been closer
18486s	it was a sound barrier difference away
18489s	but Finland they always get close their
18491s	middle name is almost they almost revers
18495s	swep KSA Finland almost beat South Korea
18499s	they haven't done it yet and this match
18502s	is for a seat in the big three for that
18505s	share of a
18508s	$500,000 prize pool that is still
18510s	growing prob the most at BR up and
18513s	OverWatch has ever seen this there's so
18515s	much on the line pride and how you
18519s	bounced back from your loss in the
18520s	semi-final and both of them had such
18522s	close losses right like South Korea was
18525s	also a FIV map match Finland just came
18528s	off of the back of a five map match but
18531s	the biggest key to this one in
18533s	particular is how these two sigmas are
18537s	going to match up against each other
18539s	when they played in the group stage it
18541s	was all about the sigma vers versus
18542s	Sigma and what happened in the DPS
18545s	lineup but South Korea has shown us that
18548s	they are more willing to switch to
18550s	different types of compositions bronze
18554s	medal on the line the doors are open on
18557s	our beaches of Samoa and Finland played
18560s	a lot of masim but they got a match fire
18563s	with fire with sauna on the sojourn
18565s	against lip this is a tough task already
18569s	on top of this bridge is Finland these
18571s	charge shots from these SoJO are what's
18574s	really going to break open this battle
18576s	as Finland respecting that space SAA
18579s	sliding to the corner Li knows that cool
18581s	down is out but neither souljour is
18583s	really going to want to be aggressive
18585s	and push past this uh kind of Middle
18588s	Point piing up that point it is unlocked
18591s	but both teams are prioritizing the
18593s	fight actually this may of cloud will be
18595s	able to ice block if he gets into any
18597s	trouble while capturing this point and
18599s	he'll do so for free Korea or South
18602s	Korea prioritizing the fight and they
18605s	are winning it even though team Finland
18609s	were able to capture the objective first
18611s	they're not going to walk away with that
18612s	much percentage South Korea they did
18614s	play that patient game they cared more
18616s	about making sure that they had the
18617s	first pick that they were going to start
18619s	beating Finland in terms of this
18621s	ultimate charge and South Korea are
18623s	trying to push the tempo they want to
18625s	meet Finland at their spawn look at all
18627s	this PO damage that they're going to be
18629s	getting down onto the team and chio's
18631s	able to get out of there without any
18634s	problems and now South Korea have a lot
18636s	to work with like they're looking at
18638s	Fielder right now and even Sparkle too
18640s	with the photon barrier Finland has to
18642s	be careful if they drop Cloud to cap The
18643s	Point South Korea will take the fight
18645s	without him and a 5v4 that will favor
18647s	South Korea ant Matrix Fielder wants to
18649s	draw them into a lane preferably at the
18652s	top of this bridge Finland are exposing
18653s	themselves though they go towards the
18655s	point it's not the most ideal out of
18656s	cloud and he gets punished for it South
18659s	Korea just play off the amp Matrix and
18661s	Finland can't contest
18663s	so South Korea keep the points and man
18665s	they're hunting for more this will
18667s	generate them a ton of ultimates that
18669s	they can keep protecting the point with
18671s	oh Masa tries to get away as well will
18673s	be able to get out with his life but
18675s	what do team Finland really have to show
18677s	for it right now South Korea they are in
18680s	the driver seat for this match and
18681s	especially looking at the sigma duel
18684s	hum's winning it right now a lot of that
18686s	off the back of Sparkle with that
18688s	symmetra able to help maneuver this team
18691s	around the point way faster and you look
18693s	at this open territory and you look at
18695s	that symmetra as a huge boom to the team
18698s	Finland are just trying to stabilize
18701s	besta grasp is out he doesn't have a
18703s	shield but he has one thing and that's a
18705s	flux since spco will protect his team
18706s	from any followup damage with the Boton
18708s	barrier but St still Rings true and
18711s	against the rest of South Korea Finland
18714s	are on top they will be getting the
18717s	point back but there's quite a gap in
18719s	the score to close 77% though that is a
18723s	percentage that team Finland can come
18725s	back from might even not even it's not
18727s	even last fight territory yet so even if
18729s	they lose control of the point they can
18730s	come back in So team Finland need to be
18733s	aware of their ultimate economy so that
18735s	they can actually come back in and have
18737s	that extra Rec contest potential but
18739s	ideally they just win here Han bin
18742s	fluxes too but because of the roof he
18744s	can't really land any damage on him so
18746s	he redirects his attention to Cloud
18748s	forces the ice block and it's the
18750s	overclocks that will make it differ
18753s	SAA remove three and South Korea lip
18757s	never even had a chance to match that so
18760s	finin will take back the lead
18762s	shortly that does mean that lip gets to
18764s	come back into this with the overclock
18766s	and so with those sight lines you're
18768s	hoping that you're going to be able to
18769s	land some of those shots just be able to
18771s	get South Korea back into this one but
18774s	pay attention to the sound barriers giio
18776s	and Masa are both ready to let that rip
18779s	and whether or not you're going to get
18780s	that first it's all about the sound
18782s	barrier that's last yeah might be a good
18784s	idea for Masa to pop that response to
18786s	the lip overclock and that is exactly
18789s	the response that Finland needed they'll
18791s	bring the speed they're pushing Korea
18793s	South Korea back into the building where
18795s	they just fire back with the amp Matrix
18797s	Finland respect that space they're also
18800s	at 90 plus% this is last fight territory
18803s	for Beach of sou for Samoa here is the
18807s	flux from Vesta waiting for hanman to be
18809s	as low as he can and he's gone and South
18813s	Korea can't back him up they'll take the
18815s	teleporter to escape actually to get
18817s	behind Finland who focused their
18819s	attention
18820s	forward and it's successful a 99% and
18825s	over
18826s	timewind can't even jump away 100 to 77
18830s	goes to Finland that accretion at the
18833s	end there oh my goodness you have to be
18836s	so predicted with a shot like that but
18838s	it's about that stun there was no coming
18842s	back from that one is sadly you up
18845s	putting a lip on his back but it's going
18848s	to be a new Point Samoa all of these
18851s	different points of the map play so
18853s	differently just based on the
18854s	architecture now you've got the central
18856s	point to play around you're going to see
18858s	a lot of teams try to come at this much
18860s	like you would City Center so South
18864s	Korea let's see if they're able to get
18866s	back into this one it was a close race
18869s	to start South Korea sadly just lock at
18872s	advantage and uh symmetra you're going
18875s	to have to see if that's going to work
18876s	out again but it's a difference this
18878s	time we're going to see South Korea
18879s	actually stick on the symmetra but this
18881s	time it's going to be lip taking up that
18883s	roll with sparkle on the May so a little
18885s	bit of a different look here like
18887s	copying that style from Finland against
18889s	that um in that match against KSA the
18892s	whole win condition from South Korea is
18894s	to teleport on top of Finland but
18895s	because M on Lucio he can help Finland
18898s	disengage and keep that distance to buy
18900s	time and space for
18902s	to fire through the hearts of South
18904s	Korea Finland have the middle of the map
18906s	but then now they're locked in by that
18908s	sparkle May wall and it hurts great
18911s	commitment out of South Korea their
18913s	focus fire on those isolated targets of
18916s	Finland help someone fight
18919s	one that may proving to be such a big
18922s	difference in this point in particular
18925s	that may really helps to shape the
18927s	architecture of the map in your favor so
18930s	sparkle can help put up those walls
18932s	you said isolate a Target make sure that
18935s	somebody is caught out of position and
18937s	just try to capitalize on that South
18939s	Korea giving up a lot of space here want
18941s	to try to get that poke but they know
18942s	they need to kite backwards so they
18944s	don't just fall to V in the front line
18947s	feel like we haven't seen a lot of ratra
18949s	at the World Cup
18951s	Vesta ready to throw some punches they
18954s	have an isolation wall on the Han bin
18957s	and Sparkle protects them with his own
18959s	and it's a ring around the rosie but m
18962s	has to block the damage from the M
18963s	Matrix of Fielder and the flux to get
18966s	Finland low might have missed either way
18968s	the sound here from Masa brings Finland
18970s	back on their feet but they don't have
18972s	any more ultimate options South Korean
18974s	can play off the photon barrier but as
18977s	they stepped past it SAA strikes through
18981s	and fitland take back the point so
18984s	interesting to see that ra right here
18986s	too because well maybe you just need the
18988s	S barrier to put that extra on the top
18990s	what in the world you would think think
18992s	a 5v3 is winable but South Korea we're
18995s	able to get a double kill to even things
18998s	up and now it's a three versus three
19001s	with reinforcements actually coming back
19003s	very quickly thanks to these lucios it's
19005s	son is overclock gets the shots he needs
19008s	for Finland to now actually win the
19010s	fight what a great stall from South
19013s	Korea yes they expended ultimates there
19015s	but with the primary goal of getting
19017s	even more percentage down so they walk
19020s	away with 72% capture progress on this
19023s	next objective but team Finland Take
19025s	Back Control bestan now let's talk about
19028s	that ratra choice because how does the
19030s	annihilation come into play here vasta
19033s	gets a chance to walk past the sigma
19035s	Shield that's really what vasta wants to
19037s	do is get up close and personal in South
19040s	Korea's face try to lock down some of
19043s	these more self- sustaining targets like
19045s	sparkle on the May oh The Matrix from
19049s	Finland helps vea the May wall to
19053s	guarantee those kills of the South Korea
19055s	Cloud beats down his opposition of
19057s	Sparkle and a 3v5 South Korea can flip
19061s	this one but Finland still have to catch
19064s	up to the lead 72% is a good start for
19066s	South Korea yeah Finland are going to be
19069s	able to match that really quickly here
19071s	and now we maybe get a chance to see
19073s	what this Annihilation is going to be
19075s	all about in this particular matchup but
19078s	on top of that too how are you going to
19080s	take down Vesta Masa has a sound barrier
19083s	available so so much just saying to make
19085s	Vesta almost Unstoppable with all the
19088s	power that that Annihilation is going to
19089s	provide oh he saw the ant Matrix and got
19092s	out of Dodge doesn't want any of that
19094s	smoke South Korea still dance around it
19097s	going to stay to their half and now the
19099s	photon bear to divide the fight in half
19102s	and it's the overclock at an off angle
19105s	but his tank is in trouble besta is able
19107s	to block and take a lot of pressure very
19109s	well South Korea now have to deal with a
19113s	blizzard from cloud it doesn't freeze
19115s	anyone but Li shot down by sauna and
19119s	finin only have a small advantage and
19121s	it's not over yet if you're South Korea
19123s	but with the an Matrix hanin is isolated
19127s	and she pumps the sound be to try and
19129s	rally the troops but Finland seconds
19133s	away from taking a first map against one
19136s	of the strongest teams at the World Cup
19140s	in South Korea fall map number one goes
19143s	to
19144s	[Applause]
19150s	Finland we were saying it might come
19152s	down to the Sigma versus Sigma battle
19155s	right now it's going to be Vesta getting
19157s	that upper hand even came down to the
19160s	Swit up to the ratra so much
19163s	survivability on the side of Vesta where
19165s	they didn't even need to invest a sound
19167s	barrier it was all about what ratra
19169s	could put down on its own own and that's
19173s	going to be a tough tank to take down
19177s	something else though you got to talk
19178s	about too is just how much the DPS
19180s	lineup and Finland was really putting
19181s	down the table I know saana was much
19184s	quieter in the previous series cuz his
19186s	job was to maneuver the team around on
19188s	the Symetra and it's tough to even last
19190s	long enough in a fight to generate the
19192s	DPS but what a call to go to ratra Great
19196s	block usage from Vesta even when there
19198s	was an ant Matrix he knew when to
19200s	disengage and South Korea didn't have a
19203s	plan B at times they just relied on
19205s	their mechanics and Finland just had
19207s	better macro at the end of the day on a
19209s	small map like this the ratra was the
19212s	right call the ratra was such a good
19215s	pick here and that really does throw an
19218s	extra layer of difficulty into this
19219s	match for South Korea we might have
19221s	expected just to see the mirror but that
19226s	just might not be the case and maybe we
19227s	see South Korea make a substitution we
19230s	know that they have Fearless waiting and
19231s	in the back just in case we want to see
19233s	one of those tank switch ups but we'll
19236s	have to see whether or not that happens
19237s	because we're going to Blizzard worlds
19238s	on the other side of this
19260s	break
19263s	[Music]
19317s	[Music]
19325s	[Music]
19334s	[Music]

19368s	[Music]
19374s	[Music]
19380s	[Music]
19386s	[Music]
19435s	we thought this was going to be a clash
19437s	of styles after how we saw South Korea
19440s	fight against team from China but we
19443s	weren't sure about how the mirror was
19444s	going to go Hanan in the lineup he's
19446s	trying to duel on the sigma is there
19449s	going to be a change no substitutions
19451s	reported but we go to Blizzard world
19453s	where South Korea that's their bread and
19456s	butter South Korea keeping hen in the
19459s	roster may just opt to continue to play
19461s	the
19462s	mirror we see a lot of Sigma on this map
19465s	in particular and sadly when you take a
19467s	look at the semi-final between South
19469s	Korea and team from China a lot of that
19471s	dive mirror happened because you know
19473s	team from China is going to opt more to
19475s	play that style and you can't really
19477s	play the Winston into a Bastion that's
19480s	as good as what Sonic can provide on
19482s	Finland that was one of the Achilles
19484s	heals where Finland was able to Dish a
19487s	map loss to South Korea in their group
19489s	stage yeah everyone is taking notes on
19492s	how apack plays dive but you're going up
19495s	against the best from Europe in Finland
19498s	and we've talked about how Vesta and the
19500s	rest of Finland one of the best Sigma
19502s	teams we may have still left at the
19504s	World Cup and blizzard world was a
19506s	slugfest between Finland and KSA but
19509s	what was so good about Finland was their
19512s	rotations their understanding of the map
19514s	and what positions to take the way
19516s	Finland would get behind KSA and really
19519s	take their time with it they're a
19521s	composed team and it's the macro that
19523s	you got to watch out for for Finland and
19525s	that was when they were using the
19526s	symmetra the teleporter able to help
19529s	with those angles make the those
19531s	rotations they also just play together
19534s	so well as a team but same thing can be
19537s	said about South Korea these are players
19540s	that all one titles together they are
19543s	familiar with each other they know their
19545s	play Styles and their Tendencies and
19547s	that is something that is going to be so
19549s	critical to be able to get the sigma
19552s	composition to work but hin right now
19555s	going to be comfortable on this defense
19557s	to run the sigma with lip and Sparkle
19561s	bring up that DPS lineup with the soj
19563s	and the symmetra that was close Cloud if
19567s	he had gotten a pick there with the
19569s	Widowmaker would have opened things up
19570s	so quickly but look at this they don't
19573s	want to play the mirror it's going to be
19575s	on team Finland to actually switch
19577s	things up Vesta thinking about the ratra
19580s	but I might be thinking twice about it
19583s	we need a a huddle before the map starts
19587s	um you need a symmetra I think to move
19589s	30 seconds off the clock yeah you need a
19591s	Metra to move this ratra around it is so
19593s	vulnerable to poke even when there's a
19595s	shield you can't keep you can't keep
19597s	moving it like a sigma Shield so besta
19599s	knows this is a more flexible option at
19601s	least on attack so Finland move their
19604s	way they don't have a symmetra to help
19606s	this push so it's all about how long the
19608s	shield of the Sola lasts as finin make
19610s	their way to the left South Korea will
19613s	counter rotate lip is on his High Ground
19615s	so it's Sauna versus lip South Korea
19618s	come up from behind and Finland are
19620s	getting choked from all angles and Li
19622s	gets a head shot onto Cloud South Korea
19625s	are up by two and Finland might have to
19628s	rethink this one going to have to take
19631s	the rotation just a little bit more
19633s	carefully when you have the S on both
19636s	sides one of the things that becomes
19637s	even more important for these sigas to
19639s	keep in mind is their Shield placement
19641s	you don't want to leave yourself
19642s	vulnerable on one side and you might not
19646s	even want to run the Serj at all Finland
19648s	going to opt for the symmetra pick in
19651s	instead because that was one of the keys
19653s	to success playing against Saudi Arabia
19655s	when they had the teleporter to be able
19657s	to help them make these rotations faster
19659s	yeah Finland were just sitting ducks in
19661s	the middle of the map South Korea had
19662s	all the speed and options to around
19664s	Finland overwhelmed The High Ground lift
19666s	is
19667s	gone but not dead yet even with the an
19669s	Matrix South Korea didn't where it
19672s	managed to get away and finin are
19675s	harassing and threatening the point but
19677s	didn't manage to capture that first tick
19678s	wait for their cool downs but they walk
19680s	into a three BL and hotman and the kills
19683s	go the way of the defense with finland's
19686s	time bank cut in
19689s	half Finland are just trying to get
19692s	their bearings in this matchup right now
19695s	because as it stands South Korea has a
19697s	great handle on how they want to play
19699s	this defense as you said this is their
19701s	territory this is a map that South Korea
19703s	has been very very good at throughout
19705s	the entirety of the OverWatch World C
19707s	and what is this do they get out shio
19709s	tried to speed them out but was frozen
19711s	but they managed to heal Han back up the
19714s	sooud tried to make a play while South
19717s	Korea were overextended and it doesn't
19719s	pay off live with that execution was
19722s	able to help team Korea to be able to
19724s	get back away from that situation and
19726s	now they get a chance to set up on the
19728s	defense again they're a full team of
19730s	five Finland are looking at a one minute
19732s	time B to try to crack open this first
19734s	point but lip's not having any of it
19737s	right now he got so low so close
19741s	what a jump from Finland the flux is
19743s	Plan B how does SL keep living and the
19746s	apprciate didn't even hit the sell bear
19749s	from Chio saves him South Korea in a
19752s	four versus three as Finland gathered
19755s	their second tick lip Waits on The High
19758s	Ground hanin wants to contest denies a
19760s	second tick and you can always depend on
19763s	lip to turn the fight when he has the
19766s	time to poke down Finland and they only
19770s	have let from 30 seconds nobody can get
19772s	picked here nobody can get picked but
19775s	lip is looking for it so everybody on
19778s	Finland is going to have to play
19779s	together as a team sa is going to switch
19780s	off of the symmetra to go back to the
19782s	sojourn because you need some amount of
19784s	Firepower to deal with that long range
19786s	damage that lip is providing and he has
19788s	an overclock Finland yeah just the South
19792s	Korea disengage is too strong and LIF to
19796s	he gets the first pick and Cloud as soon
19798s	as he's out of ice block yes down
19801s	barrier the Dodge on the accretion hin
19805s	is him and South Korea will hold Finland
19809s	at Bay deny the second tick and make
19812s	this
19814s	winnable one third of that first point
19818s	captured is all that fining could walk
19821s	away with during that attack push it's
19825s	going to be really difficult for Finland
19827s	to get there I say a fuller hold on this
19831s	point cuz there's so little room for
19834s	error you have a 4-minute time bank to
19836s	work with if you're South Korea
19838s	typically that gives you about two full
19840s	rotations of ultimates and if lip is
19842s	going to continue to pop off like that
19845s	it's going to be very difficult for team
19847s	Finland to keep themselves alive in this
19849s	moment so I'd love to see what kind of
19851s	DPS choices they decide to make whether
19853s	or not they want to commit to something
19855s	like the sojourn as well cuz I get one
19857s	shot at this Finland just looked so
19860s	unsure for a team that capped with over
19864s	a minute against the Kingdom of Saudi
19866s	Arabia Finland when they played in that
19869s	match they were decisive on their
19870s	rotations they depended on the ma Sims
19873s	but the difference between KSA and South
19875s	Korea was South Korea are so quick to
19878s	disengage every time they teleported in
19880s	South Korea were gone you never really
19882s	got a pick and if you're not able to get
19884s	the surprise Factor off the sim May
19886s	you're missing out on the DPS you're
19887s	missing out on the Poke and cloud has
19889s	been usually good on that on on the May
19891s	but he's also not a SoJO and sometimes
19892s	he can put on a SoJO performance but
19894s	you're going up against lip who was
19896s	insane the disengage from South Korea is
19899s	exemplary of their amazing communication
19902s	as a team we've all heard some of their
19904s	team coms just after their matches and
19907s	they're just so on point they're so
19910s	together but this is where it starts for
19912s	team Finland they need to keep getting
19914s	these picks cuz this is what happened to
19916s	them if you're able to just keep getting
19918s	pick after pick South Korea they don't
19920s	want to go win with a 4v5 the charged
19923s	secondary fire of a symmetra is sely
19926s	underrated is very scary at range just
19930s	any additional damage after that is a
19932s	pick Finland on The High Ground not too
19935s	much time has gone for South Korea I
19937s	mean Finland got away with a huddle
19939s	here's the teleporter from Finland to
19941s	disengage back to mors the point South
19943s	Korea on the left they won't have their
19944s	teleporter for a few more seconds but
19946s	they'll want to access Finland before
19949s	they drum up a Teleport plan and lip can
19952s	get a first pick he got sights on to
19954s	Mickey who had to turn around and get
19956s	shelter behind Vesta now South Korea
19959s	okay Hanan gets booped down that's an
19960s	important play by Masa ant Matrix almost
19963s	online this could be what defines the
19965s	fight rality field is out though so
19967s	that's going to be a skill off of
19969s	finland's plate and this is might be the
19971s	time for Fielder to strike is that
19973s	amplification Matrix is coming up yeah
19976s	Mickey has his first but Fielder pulls
19978s	the trigger first and it's staring down
19980s	the point and Finland want to contest
19982s	but they have to deal with the damage
19984s	and Mickey get gone and he knows how
19987s	impactful his death is when The Limited
19989s	heals that Finland just don't have and
19992s	South Korea flu them off of the point
19996s	and that'll at least be a first tick is
19999s	Finland able to recontest maa's just
20001s	respawning now the answer is no South
20004s	Korea swiftly tie the series
20009s	1-1
20011s	that was an impressive hold from South
20014s	Korea and it pays off in dividends cuz
20017s	they didn't need much time at all to be
20018s	able to make sure that they had that
20020s	point capture after they got ultimates
20022s	online it felt like game over but team
20024s	Finland did give it their best effort
20026s	and they also get a chance to pick their
20029s	map that we go to next no one is talking
20032s	from Team
20034s	Finland after a map loss you got to tell
20037s	each other it's okay not our map you I
20040s	know it was your map before but this is
20043s	you just got to recoup after this but I
20045s	know you're going up against some
20047s	mechanical demons on the side of South
20050s	Korea where Finland like I said they
20052s	just look so unsure they didn't have a
20054s	plan B when their symmetra teleporter
20056s	plays weren't netting them first fixed
20059s	they were getting first blooded by lip
20061s	and then when Finland had a good shot
20063s	South Korea banked all these ultimates
20065s	cuz South Korea know how to play their
20069s	economy there is really do and that's
20071s	something that's going to be even more
20073s	important when you look at a map type
20075s	like flash point because they there even
20079s	less room for air when you look at just
20081s	having to capture or defend for onethird
20084s	of the pie so we're going to be heading
20086s	to serasa Next and I have to see if
20089s	they're going to continue to play this
20091s	mirror or they might switch it up find
20093s	out after
20099s	this
20156s	maybe
20159s	that's
20171s	[Music]
20196s	our series is tied one to one for a
20200s	battle for top three Finland versus
20202s	South Korea but guess who's woken up at
20205s	a hibernation South Korea with the full
20208s	hold I might have gotone to finland's
20211s	heads a bit might have I mean it's tough
20213s	to come back from a position like that
20215s	when you do get bull held on a map
20217s	especially when you just prove that you
20219s	can be a big dog on a map like that
20222s	especially how they had that performance
20224s	against Saudi Arabia in their semifinal
20226s	but we're heading to surasa Next and
20229s	hopefully team Finland in that break was
20231s	able to regroup a little bit Focus
20233s	up it's it's tough they might be tired
20236s	that was a long and very hardfought
20239s	semi-final for them yeah surasa was that
20242s	map that Finland won to at some point in
20245s	the series against KSA there was a lot
20247s	of maps but this is a strong map for
20249s	Finland so I think think confidence
20250s	should be at least after that break back
20253s	to where it should
20255s	be while as South Korea I think just
20258s	needed that warm-up map because even we
20260s	noted South Korea and Samoa just stayed
20263s	on their half they had Lucio they had
20265s	may but they didn't really push the
20267s	advantage they didn't really Sim TP into
20270s	Finland they were kind of hanging out
20272s	and I think now that South Korea look
20274s	more decisive they were going to they
20276s	could be taking over the series really
20278s	could South Korea were playing a little
20281s	bit more passive in that first map but
20284s	that's really where they started up the
20285s	tempo but a lot of that was off the back
20287s	of lip playing the soier using those
20290s	long sight lines to his Advantage making
20292s	sure he was getting first picks with the
20293s	soier but here we are on Market all
20296s	right Finland this is their High Ground
20298s	pooping them back I like that box is on
20300s	off angle as he crosses the roll he
20302s	almost gets hit by the car and Finland
20305s	still trying to just disrupt the
20307s	structure of South Korea but now Finland
20310s	a little bit separated away from each
20311s	other South Korea getting their Revenge
20314s	at disrupting the organization there
20317s	South Korea already got a first pick and
20319s	Mickey is gone so this is just not
20321s	winable for Finland got to go back to
20324s	spawn and refigure out how they're going
20325s	to try to attack this point because way
20327s	that South Korea is playing now they're
20329s	using the advantage being in the upper
20333s	hand position trying to get that poke
20335s	down and it's netting them such fast
20337s	their ultimate charge lip is doing
20340s	amazing I take a look at that he's going
20341s	to have Photon barrier up before
20343s	basically anything else in the lobby and
20345s	the symmetric turrets especially when
20346s	you are playing from the defensive side
20350s	you get a chance to set those up so that
20352s	then L just walking right into them get
20353s	even more damage down onto the team
20355s	soften him up and take him down at
20358s	Matrix is Fielder want to put this on
20359s	The High Ground do they want to drop it
20361s	low just so you can guarantee useage on
20364s	it but Finland are more decisive with
20365s	their ultimates South Korea TP behind
20367s	them and dro the photon barrier and the
20370s	M Matrix and Finland had the sound
20373s	barrier they had ALS of their own but
20376s	execution favor South Korea as they're
20379s	seconds away from taking point1 they're
20382s	definitely playing together as a team
20384s	right now you can tell how much more in
20386s	Focus South Korea are after that first
20389s	map loss and so that's going to be the
20391s	first flash point of this map heading
20393s	there Direction May a chance to see
20395s	where we're going next it's going to be
20397s	towards the bottom of the map we're
20399s	going to head over to Gardens and this
20400s	is where we might even see a clash just
20402s	early on but not of South Korea can say
20405s	anything about it try to beat them to
20407s	the punch use that symmetric teleporter
20409s	and the amp it up to get their first and
20411s	play from the defensive position once
20412s	again being able to defend with this
20414s	composition is such an advantage Finland
20417s	are forced to play this
20419s	Corridor so it'll be Vesta that can make
20421s	that call he can poke his head out he's
20424s	okay to take damage that's what a tank
20425s	does and he's close to the flux the
20428s	photon barrier for Finland once they
20430s	take space could be what helps them hold
20432s	it while a sparkle still patient with
20434s	the blizzard but gets taken down before
20437s	he could throw it out and Finland with
20439s	the confidence behind the plug the S
20442s	Bear from Chio to bring South Korea back
20444s	to their feet can South Korea flip the
20447s	4v5 on the trouble one a May from cloud
20452s	and Finland are now playing like the
20454s	Finland we know in love going to take
20457s	control of garden and there you go now
20459s	they get a chance to play from that
20461s	defensive side so sauna able to take
20463s	full advantage of that setup the turrets
20465s	has that Photon barrier ready to go team
20467s	Finland don't even want to poke they're
20470s	like I would be worried too if you're
20472s	playing against somebody that has aim as
20474s	good as lip as good as Sparkle may not
20477s	want to push forward either lest you
20479s	potentially get staggered and there you
20481s	go that might give an advantage to South
20483s	Korea but King back on point let's see
20485s	what South Korea's got to give them
20487s	Sparkle waiting for the grasp out of
20489s	pistola but as South Korea get close the
20492s	Poke is too strong from Finland the
20495s	immediate amp Matrix on one corner the
20497s	photon barrier to make sure that Finland
20499s	can stay anchored on their feet what
20502s	timing from Finland as South Korea have
20504s	one last chance to fight through this
20507s	cuz it's 90% and growing for Finland
20510s	with a sound barrier ready to counter
20513s	the flux to counter the blizzard how
20515s	will Masa use this sparkles in a corner
20517s	he got mayal he's got ice block blizzard
20520s	has to come out now and Li has it back
20523s	with the photon barrier but South Korea
20524s	gets a flip for free as Sparkle doesn't
20528s	want to over invest but still South
20531s	Korea don't have enough kills that this
20533s	is guaranteed here is the blizzard and
20536s	the and the sound beer from M response
20538s	once that's gone hman pulls out the flux
20542s	and this would be the M with the nail in
20544s	the
20546s	coffin here you go Finland though you're
20548s	able to clap back SAA is going to be
20551s	able to finish up these final blows for
20553s	Finland Take Back Control this point
20555s	before South Korea can come back in for
20557s	the rec contestant at
20559s	99% this flash point is theirs we've
20562s	tied it up here on surasa we're going to
20564s	have to see where we go next that was a
20567s	heavy investment there from South Korea
20570s	they had to throw a lot at that fight
20572s	and to no aail and team Finland got the
20576s	upper hand once again as we head over to
20578s	Palace and South Korea have a lot of
20580s	ground to cover before they get there is
20583s	it is it South Korea being uncomfortable
20586s	in this composition hanin is a star at
20589s	coordinating this team he is the leader
20591s	South Korea need right now and Sparkle
20593s	has the main wall behind Finland and
20596s	they break back in with the flx the
20599s	immediate 3K for Finland for the first
20602s	fight of three it's going to be a quick
20605s	cap for them a TM kill to boot Finland
20608s	definitely back Peak for as we saw in
20611s	their
20613s	semifinal South Korea they've got to
20616s	come back through this Middle Point and
20618s	team Fain are ready take a look at how
20620s	far forward they're playing this is them
20622s	playing the Poke game here and this is
20624s	about they're trying to take advantage
20625s	of too South Korea like to play this
20627s	patient game they like to make sure
20628s	they're all together as a team with cool
20630s	down uh I don't know if that teleporter
20632s	did it did it go on The High Ground for
20634s	South Korea was in on the low well
20636s	Finland are low but Masa tries to Rally
20638s	them with the barrier but they Finland
20641s	walked right into the Blizzard from
20642s	Sparkle Finland just can't seem to
20645s	escape South Korea finally got the jump
20648s	on them and they'll take the point back
20650s	at around 60% really good place for
20653s	South Korea to be able to take that back
20654s	as
20656s	well still seeing the mirror match come
20659s	through Mickey thought about it we
20662s	almost saw Moira come out there but it
20663s	is going to be the batist once again
20667s	Cloud takes a little bit of damage on
20668s	the income here but does he use this
20670s	blizzard Finland has wanted to use he
20673s	sometimes reactively but he might just
20674s	want to throw it out now oh Finland has
20677s	South ker in their F but the is
20680s	overwhelmed Mickey has us back with the
20681s	immortality field but now South ker on
20684s	the flag Mickey and Masa are gone lip
20688s	has a
20689s	3K the DPS of symmetra you have to mark
20693s	her you cannot let lip go unnoticed you
20696s	can't but hman is in the front too so
20698s	where do you look look at your team
20700s	Finland you've got threats all around
20702s	you that's something that South Korea
20703s	has been really good at is making sure
20705s	they have multiple angles to be able to
20707s	surround team Finland it's also really
20710s	hard to try to thrive in that chaos
20713s	South Korea they're working up to that
20714s	final
20716s	checkpoint they only have eight more
20718s	seconds on even as say team Finland have
20720s	to come back into this one South Korea
20722s	have The High Ground and the and the
20724s	amplification majri are Fielder and
20726s	popped and H bu best sto at 6 ft under
20729s	and Finland just hesitate on the
20731s	ultimates they're going to bank them for
20733s	the next Point South Korea go to surasa
20737s	round
20738s	point so there you go it's going to be
20741s	Palace up the table as well as Garden so
20743s	we have no choice except to go to this
20744s	top part of the map it's still a race to
20747s	get there take a look at this you got
20749s	the teleporters to try to make your way
20751s	past this midpoint but you might just
20753s	take a fight here I think South Korea
20756s	thought they were disorganized and Vesta
20758s	had to pull out the to try and delay it
20760s	The Sound be from Chio the salvages
20763s	fight in a 4v5 scenario and Pista is
20766s	saved by the Mickey immortality field do
20769s	does anyone else want to invest that
20771s	first fight of the point is so important
20774s	but Finland got them down and they will
20776s	win the first fight to cap it's so rare
20779s	to see a fight happen off of a flash
20781s	point or at least a surrounding area but
20783s	when you see the enemy in front of you
20785s	and you've got the gravitic flux in a
20787s	tank that is as confident as best
20789s	you go ahead and you take that fight and
20793s	now South Korea have to come back into
20795s	this one where Finland they still have
20797s	four morals to use okay like this is a
20799s	fight that they should win as long as
20800s	they play their cards right South Korea
20803s	trying to hold on to their half of this
20804s	p with the photon barrier the ice block
20807s	from cloud right at the feet of that
20809s	Sigma yes award boots hman is still
20813s	living the healing from Fielder the
20815s	double kill from Sparkles the three
20819s	South Korea
20820s	clutch what in the world this backline
20823s	is insane and that's why fieler and CH
20826s	are considered some of the absolute best
20828s	supports in the world especially how
20830s	long that they have worked together they
20832s	understand how to cooperate and also
20834s	make sure that they're alternating
20835s	through their cool Downs so that someone
20837s	like Hing can get hard pocketed in some
20839s	of the hardest of times po team Finland
20843s	also went down early in that fight had
20845s	the sound bear available and that could
20846s	have been really critical in a fight
20848s	like that to help team FIS stay in this
20850s	but South Korea staring down the barrel
20852s	of the last fight and taking this Final
20854s	Flash Point hin that's a huge gr block
20857s	Masa with the sound barrier what are
20858s	they doing back here he's boing B's
20861s	pooping people out of the M Matrix from
20863s	Fielder the assassination on the Fielder
20865s	and
20866s	Sparkle South Korea lose hold of the
20870s	point right at the Finish Line to win
20872s	the map Finland
20876s	survive Finland are alive for now but
20878s	South are coming back with the I saw
20881s	life Weaver there for a second playing a
20883s	little bit of a rotating support here
20885s	for South Korea but Fielder on the
20887s	Baptist is going to just be a better
20889s	choice for the team right now those
20891s	immortality Fields have been so clutch
20893s	for South Korea to survive and
20895s	especially when you take a look at the
20896s	AOE healing that Baptist can provide to
20899s	South Korea are very hard team to take
20901s	down right now does v get the grab flux
20904s	before Chio gets the barrier online now
20907s	it's too late Chio will have a counter
20908s	to this now the teleporter starts South
20911s	Korea teleport to the other side the too
20914s	sound barriers early and besta gets
20916s	stting out of his flock it's up to the
20919s	cloud blizzard but he ice blocked early
20921s	he was low it's South Korea are locked
20923s	in it's spin only have a oneman
20927s	Advantage cloud with two besta with the
20930s	third we go to the final point of
20936s	Sasa Flash rben
20939s	ruins is going to be the final flash
20941s	point of this map and everything is on
20943s	the line here for team Finland they want
20946s	to get themselves back into this one
20947s	this was the map where they started a
20950s	potential reverse sweep against Saudi
20952s	Arabia and that's where they started to
20954s	get to Peak
20956s	form they're getting there again now
20958s	it's going to be Sparkle's turn to use
20961s	this blizzard and South Korea are going
20962s	to try to come into the final flash
20965s	point with the smallest area as well
20968s	with that blizzard oh SAA has a photon
20971s	barrier and he didn't feel like using it
20973s	early South Korea or eager I don't know
20976s	if that blizzard bounc against the wall
20978s	either way villain are trapped they
20981s	couldn't get out because of the B wall
20983s	of Sparkle South Korea take the first
20987s	point or first fight of the final Point
20990s	South Korea know that they have to play
20993s	this flawlessly to be able to get the
20995s	match lead to go to match point just
20998s	means they one step closer to being able
21000s	to get their Revenge that they wanted
21002s	both these semi-finals for these teams
21004s	were so close you know they're putting
21006s	everything on the line right now but
21007s	South Korea are getting closer and
21009s	closer to that finish line and hin could
21011s	just keep everybody at Bay here with
21013s	that grab flux you just don't have time
21015s	to think in these fights you just have
21017s	to go for the heroic play and Masa with
21020s	the tempo engage against the flux of
21023s	hanin Finland are already down but they
21026s	got to trade on the Fielder South Korea
21028s	don't have a lot out of healing Sparkle
21031s	manages to fall back to the team but
21033s	Masa rides above kicks him in the head
21037s	and Finland managed to make this fight
21039s	close the sound Bearer though from South
21042s	Korea only has Chio and hin the dpser
21045s	South Korea got separated they can at
21048s	least depend on the photon barrier out
21050s	flip and that will be enough to take
21052s	down finnland as the last seconds
21054s	drained by South Korea will go to match
21064s	Point fantastic team play coming through
21067s	from South Korea to be able to get the
21069s	lead in this series but after an
21071s	explosive map number one from Team
21074s	Finland they're going to have to go back
21075s	to the drawing board here for this push
21077s	to hopefully tie up the series and bring
21079s	us to a fifth and final map but South
21083s	Korea looked a lot better on this Sigma
21085s	composition than we gave them credit for
21087s	at the very beginning beginning of this
21089s	match even heard Matt say like you know
21092s	he's a little less confident seeing that
21094s	we might be seeing that Sigma mirror but
21096s	even the last time that Finland and
21098s	South Korea played this mirror in the
21100s	group stage South Korea still had the
21103s	edge and were able to get the win the
21106s	two underrated players is Masa versus
21109s	Chio we talk about how amazing Chio has
21112s	been in the OverWatch league but Masa is
21114s	not afraid to wall ride po South Korea
21118s	back in to his own team even finish off
21121s	kills uh past the sigma Shield which is
21124s	difficult for this composition of a Sim
21126s	M to do and Masa takes that risk and so
21129s	does Chio the timing of these sound
21131s	bearers have been everything to save
21133s	their teams against the flux and even
21135s	when South Korea looked a bit flustered
21138s	having a sound barrier that didn't hit
21140s	everyone from the team it was the photon
21142s	barrier up lift and how they played
21144s	around it that what what really
21146s	propelled South Korea in the end
21149s	they're making this backline just really
21152s	difficult to execute here from Team
21154s	Finland and I think that's another
21155s	reason why South Korea is finding the
21158s	upper hand it's really difficult to have
21160s	to work through all of these different
21162s	threats on the table but we've got one
21165s	more map ahead of us it's going to be a
21167s	pick from Finland again we're going to
21169s	see where they take us after this
21177s	break
21241s	[Music]
21313s	[Music]
21319s	[Music]
21332s	[Music]
21349s	[Music]
21357s	[Music]
21368s	it's match point for South Korea a
21370s	bronze medal on the line and most
21372s	importantly a share of that ju
21375s	$500,000 prize gold that's still growing
21378s	by the way all thanks to this fantastic
21380s	community and you thought South Korea
21382s	had woken up they were swiftly winning
21385s	blizzard World well looks like Finland
21387s	were're able to just mentally bounce
21389s	back especially on Sasa not enough to
21391s	win but they look much better than
21393s	blizzard world but they still have a map
21395s	wi under their belt as well and they
21397s	still have that fight in them so as we
21400s	take a look at that fourth map in the
21402s	series we have to start to isolate some
21405s	of the key differences in the play
21407s	styles for both of these teams because
21409s	at the start of the match even looking
21411s	at the desk analysis for this we were
21414s	kind of thinking we might see the mirror
21416s	but Fearless is another play that adds
21419s	another layer into whether or not we
21421s	actually see the whatever tank choice we
21423s	see from South Korea South Korea very
21426s	lucky that they have the choice of
21428s	players that they do especially in the
21431s	tank Department feels like a lot of
21433s	teams have operate around one tank and
21435s	sometimes it's it's difficult to be so
21438s	flexible but Hanan steps up to the plate
21442s	he has been one of the best when it
21444s	comes to being a leader to coordinating
21446s	to be that selfless tank the way he
21449s	synergizes and connects with his team
21452s	that's why hanin's in the lineup in the
21453s	sigma mirror he is and and hin let's not
21456s	forget that he's one of the best off
21458s	tanks in the entire world whether he's
21460s	shown up on the zarya he's shown up on
21464s	the diva he has the ability and
21465s	proficiency to be able to play the
21468s	junker queen as well and just whenever
21470s	it comes down to battling it out in the
21472s	front line you can always depend on
21474s	hanin to be able to lead the charge in
21476s	those scenarios but he can't do that
21480s	without such an impressive backline to
21483s	be able to keep him up and you've seen
21485s	him get even more confident as the
21487s	series has gone on because he has CH and
21490s	fielder who else would you want really
21492s	behind you at that point that you know
21494s	has your back there is no Han bin
21496s	without Fielder I remember this specific
21499s	blizzard that clouded through Han bin is
21501s	Frozen at half health and he's living
21504s	hin live because Fielder allowed it this
21508s	backline of South Korea could be what
21510s	makes all of the difference and Masa and
21513s	Mickey I think are extremely competitive
21516s	but like you've mentioned
21518s	before when your cool Downs are being
21521s	forced because South Korea are
21522s	constantly flanking you you can't
21524s	protect your front line and Festa gets
21527s	edged out by hanin in these moments so
21529s	it's still such a close match after
21531s	surasa it is and exactly what you said
21534s	like Masa and Mickey have a ton of
21535s	pressure on them right now South Korea
21538s	surround them and then you see Masa and
21541s	Mickey having to used their cool Downs
21544s	way more selfishly in those scenarios so
21546s	you just lack a lot of that first
21548s	healing that you wish you had for those
21550s	moments where besta and hman are going
21552s	at it in the front line but let's see
21556s	final final map I just unfortunately
21559s	remember that South Korea didn't they
21560s	full c new Queen Street against Canada
21562s	we just they did we didn't get a chance
21565s	to see that but it was probably
21567s	fantastic maybe fidlin regretting that
21570s	and maybe didn't get a chance to see the
21573s	strategy we'll see if that gives an edge
21574s	to South Korea not having to reveal that
21576s	listen listen why is you as a Canadian
21579s	you bringing this up for yourself I feel
21581s	like that's just absolutely Doom streak
21583s	right there but it's going to be Cloud
21585s	getting the first pick for this new
21586s	Queen Street yes I won't mention hman
21589s	getting W off either what a heads up
21591s	play from cloud he has been my main
21594s	player to watch at this world cup
21597s	Finland deserve all the respect in the
21599s	world and Masa is such a threat too he
21603s	really is and when you take a look at
21605s	new Queen Street and how these lucios
21606s	get a chance to interact with each other
21608s	you're really looking at Masa to be able
21610s	to wall right around he's one of the
21612s	best lucios to get behind the team and
21614s	reposition somebody so it goes into the
21616s	loving arms of vea or Cloud even saw
21619s	Masa Going Back Taxi Mickey back into
21623s	the fight so he can be here to help
21624s	provide that burst healing Finland took
21627s	so much damage in the they're still are
21628s	they actually going to commit to
21630s	teleporting to a safer room now that
21632s	they're all regenerated and healthy they
21634s	try to put the pressure on the hanin
21637s	first who is that anchor for South Korea
21639s	the immortality is brought out from
21640s	Fielder South Korea can seem to out heal
21643s	the damage that Finland put out
21645s	especially after the ant Matrix from
21647s	Mickey who was placed right at the front
21650s	so this is a good lead for finin but
21652s	wait Fielder wait wa whoa no almost
21656s	Fielder almost helping to clutch it back
21659s	out for South Korea but at this point
21661s	team Finland is working so hard they
21664s	might even get this first capture but
21666s	they are down a few members they're
21668s	going to have to give up this space no
21670s	one can get
21671s	picked Finland didn't have a Lucio to
21674s	disengage Finland almost went too far to
21677s	try and get that checkpoint Finland get
21680s	out with their lives Vesta is still
21683s	needing some help to get out and the
21685s	teleporter is gone Vesta is a target and
21688s	the acction how does that hit hin and
21692s	now the sound barrier the temp B favors
21694s	Finland with the full Tong barrier but
21697s	this map is all divided up Finland won't
21700s	be able to push that Advantage they had
21703s	Finland going to keep it though I mean
21704s	at this point you've got the lead you've
21706s	got the gravitic F you've got the sto
21708s	with that too the Chio sound barrier
21711s	doesn't come out in the immortality
21713s	that's the type of trust this backline
21715s	of South Korea has and live with the
21718s	overclock wants to finish what he
21720s	started that's one immortality won't
21723s	save you now and Finland will only get
21726s	away with a 54 M start still very close
21730s	to that checkpoint and South Korea have
21732s	a little bit of a ways to go in order to
21734s	be able to match that meterage bot's
21737s	going to make it back to that halfway
21739s	point but team Finland have that
21740s	symmetric teleporter be able to help get
21743s	them to that point just a little bit
21744s	faster but lip this is where the key
21747s	difference comes into to play for South
21748s	Korea and why we didn't see a choice of
21751s	esparon in terms of that push map you
21753s	don't want to give lip even more sight
21755s	lines to work with at the very least he
21757s	gets bogged a little bit by the map
21760s	architecture sound bear for Chio doesn't
21763s	have a flux to worry about Cloud you
21765s	know he likes to get up close in
21766s	personal when delivering that gift of
21768s	the
21769s	blizzard got to wait for that teleporter
21771s	to get back online South Korea have The
21773s	High Ground they can choose when this
21775s	fight takes place but they waited too
21776s	long as Finland climb up there but cloud
21780s	is missing maybe he waiting for South
21782s	Korea to drop and then goes for the
21784s	blizzard but South Korea know what to
21787s	expect the Matrix is try and catch out
21789s	Sparkle who teleports out and now Li has
21791s	been hunted down Finland has the oneman
21794s	advantage and this lead is still in
21797s	favor of Finland now hit's isolated Chio
21800s	will join his side I think to help
21802s	escort him out South Korea are going to
21804s	try and fire back against Finland with
21806s	the m Matrix and Masa with the sound
21808s	barrier gives Finland a chance but the
21811s	cloud blizzard is actually denied the
21814s	win position of Finland is gone and
21816s	South Korea still have the Boton barrier
21818s	to play off of it's so I think it's a
21821s	4v4 though so this is anyone's game that
21823s	gra well looks like H's going to clear
21825s	that up and seal the deal South Korea
21827s	are able to shut down Finland Take Back
21830s	Control of the bot and pick up where
21833s	they let things off lip also with the
21836s	overclock here is yet to be able to use
21838s	that ultimate but we're really looking
21840s	right now with whether or not Festa can
21842s	just get this bidic flux down something
21845s	that Finland have been doing really well
21846s	as they know that Li tries to play on an
21848s	off angle likes to be able to play by
21850s	himself and so Finland capitalizing on
21852s	that using something like the teleporter
21854s	to help shut things down here's the
21855s	overclock there's no sound bear for Chio
21858s	to help South Korea and it's all up to
21861s	lip to get that opening and the damage
21864s	has been done and the Flux Of Pista was
21867s	too late
21868s	South Korea take this fight but how many
21870s	bodies do they lose it's only one so
21873s	South Korea most most certainly can keep
21876s	up this momentum and get the forward
21877s	checkpoint ooh they're getting really
21879s	close though Finland might try to come
21882s	back in and get the recontest here but
21883s	hen is there to meet them got the
21885s	accretion as well that helps St them as
21887s	they start to walk back in but there is
21889s	that checkpoint for South Korea South
21892s	Korea can play this corner they try to
21893s	teleport upwards the cloud May wall
21895s	blocks them so South Korea play out of
21897s	line sight Finland dropped to them sauna
21900s	has the photon barrier if they want to
21902s	divide this fight up but once they had
21904s	hin in their grass all they needed was
21907s	that symmetra DPS to grow and Finland
21912s	are on the chase South Korea can't
21914s	afford to get staggered too much South
21916s	Korea can still smile because they have
21918s	that 57 M lead Advantage but South Korea
21923s	just need to die on the bar they need to
21926s	reset quickly Rob oh what the
21929s	amplification Matrix from Fielder was
21932s	that a fat finger it doesn't look like
21934s	anybody was going to be able to take
21936s	advantage of that even though Chio was
21937s	there you're just not going to be in a
21939s	position to make use of that ultimate so
21941s	Fielder investing that amplification
21944s	Matrix for no reason and so Finland just
21946s	like that able to match the progress get
21948s	the checkpoint of their own and start on
21950s	their path to Victory cuz they know they
21953s	need this map in order to stay alive in
21955s	this series taking a second for this
21957s	lead to generate from Finland it's still
21959s	tied and there it is Finland back in the
21961s	lead the sound marrier with the block
21963s	the Blizzard from cloud has South Korea
21966s	on locked down and the photon barrier
21969s	South Korea couldn't protect themselves
21972s	and Finland they're on their way to the
21975s	end this is where Finland starts to come
21977s	alive a little bit more we praised them
21979s	in their earlier series for their team
21981s	coordination their focus fire and also
21984s	just the aggression that they bring to
21986s	the table and now it's South Korea
21988s	that's going to be on the back foot as
21989s	Finland start to push the gas oh good
21991s	shield from besta but overclock from L
21995s	he tries to get past this
21997s	tank and Finland are all just out in the
22001s	open and lip hasn't found any picks
22004s	finland's support backline is so good
22006s	and the M Matrix from Finland they
22008s	didn't even have time to use it South
22010s	Korea or pushing them to the
22013s	brink and it just looks like it's going
22015s	the way of South Korea slowly but
22017s	especially with the respawn Advantage
22019s	South Korea only live with three and
22022s	they can still push the pot though they
22024s	can those forward spawns are still
22026s	activated here for Finland as well so
22028s	able to get back out into the fight way
22032s	quicker and look at the lead that they
22034s	were able to take over South
22037s	Korea it's going to be about 35 M that
22040s	they get a chance to play with and wow
22042s	he's so low he didn't have ice block why
22045s	didn't he ice block and there's no
22046s	immortality Fielder didn't trust that
22050s	the main was in the way that's a you
22051s	problem yeah that didn't work out either
22054s	Finland what a punish and that was
22056s	momentum that South Korea desperately
22058s	needed cuz we only have a minute 40 left
22061s	forward checkpoint Finland on their way
22063s	around the corner but Fielder has an
22065s	Matrix they're not going to use it on
22066s	The High Ground they're going to try and
22067s	get as much exposure running it down the
22070s	lane but Finland know what's coming
22072s	they're going to play the corner Fielder
22074s	waits for the call waits for Finland to
22076s	get more committed
22078s	but it's South Korea that have to wait
22079s	on their shoulders to make a
22081s	move but will it be Checkmate Finland
22085s	have the sound barrier 2 to buy
22087s	themselves seconds to get away from the
22088s	amp Matrix as it's a stalemate necra
22091s	it's a stalemate now but take a look at
22093s	how much time has been off the clock and
22094s	Mickey is about to make this a 54 minute
22097s	left now the M Matrix from Fielder
22100s	Mickey just mashed it with his own so it
22102s	was all
22103s	neutralized and the bot is still moving
22105s	and South Korea find themselves behind
22107s	metaphorically and physically and they
22109s	have to go through the back alley
22111s	Finland know where they are this is a
22113s	choke that South Korea don't want to be
22115s	in the grab blocks hit three Finland
22118s	hold on to the sound barrier they are
22120s	confident in this fight it's 116 me to
22124s	57 where's the Blizzard from Sparkle
22126s	Finland disengage fantastic call from
22129s	Masa the speed to get them out the grass
22132s	from besta I guess just to fly away
22134s	South Korea look
22136s	unaffected 22 seconds left 22 seconds
22139s	left and look how much work South Korea
22141s	has put out for them the B on barrier is
22143s	useless as team Finland are going to
22145s	back up from this and it comes down a CH
22147s	sound barrier to keep them alive against
22150s	three ultimates coming up from Finland
22151s	in these final moments Ling kiwi Finland
22154s	might be able to tie this up H kills
22157s	Cloud but the blizzard should be enough
22160s	no South Korea are not even Frozen they
22163s	use so many ultimates to only slow down
22165s	Finland and now now they have to make
22168s	their way all the way across the map and
22171s	need to be perfect from here on out we
22174s	enter
22175s	overtime this is still about two team
22178s	fights that South Korea are going to
22179s	need to win when Finland still have
22181s	ultimates to spare so the job for South
22183s	Korea is not done quite yet Fielder can
22186s	help keep the bay here with the
22188s	amplification Matrix and Tio still has a
22190s	sound barrier in their back pocket but
22192s	Finland they have a way to overwhelm
22194s	this this would be the most historical
22197s	comeback that South Korea has ever seen
22200s	if they can make that 57 to 100 m
22202s	comeback the flux barely dodged Han bin
22206s	I don't think affected anyone with that
22208s	Masa so patient on the sound beard they
22211s	can use this for Tempo or to buy time
22213s	against the Fielder amplification Matrix
22216s	sauna protects their half of the field
22218s	with the Bon barera can't be saved B was
22221s	too late South Korea are in pain though
22224s	it's a 4v4 it's up to these DPS to make
22228s	an impact and Sparkle hurts them all
22231s	down and South Korea live on this is
22235s	where South Korea need to win those two
22238s	critical team fights they're going to be
22239s	able to unlock this checkpoint but take
22242s	a look at where Chio is he has to go all
22244s	the way back to their home spawn to get
22248s	lip back into the battle and that's not
22250s	before team Finland are coming back into
22252s	this one with a fall team of five
22254s	Finland can take an early fight Finland
22256s	if they Dr they walk it to the Blizzard
22258s	but wait how did they know Sparkle can
22261s	believe it the win condition of South
22264s	Korea are gone Finland just have to
22267s	finish what they started this is the
22269s	beginning of the end for South Korea as
22272s	finin go to another game
22278s	[Applause]
22282s	five again no way are we getting
22287s	five map OverWatch for every single
22289s	Series
22291s	today we're a three on a four right now
22293s	I'll take it the seraphim are going to
22296s	have to wait we got some bangers this is
22299s	the
22301s	Banger who could have ever predicted
22303s	this one F and South Korea though when
22306s	they played in the group stage it went
22308s	the distance they gave South Korea a
22311s	very hard time and this new Queen
22314s	straight was no different team really
22317s	had their work C out for them just
22319s	having a look at the barrel of a match
22321s	point here for South Korea but Masa my
22325s	goodness like look at how he pushes the
22328s	pressure on the front line of South
22329s	Korea it's like he's a tank of all
22331s	things oh yeah we always said that
22333s	allari was a DPS no it's Lucio and the
22338s	Finland knowing where Sparkle was I want
22341s	a PC
22343s	check how did they know Sparkle was
22346s	there right just right the cor insane
22349s	that would that would have won South
22351s	Korea if they did South Korea the fight
22354s	there if they didn't know if Fain got
22357s	caught in that blizzard there was no
22358s	escaping that there was no barrier there
22360s	was no
22361s	answer the play to change it all it's
22364s	South Korea we're on their way for that
22366s	comeback we have one final map it's your
22369s	favorite one circuit Roy out it's
22371s	everybody's favorite map let's be honest
22373s	here it's every team's favorite map we
22375s	always go to Circuit Royale but it's one
22377s	of South Korea's best and that's because
22380s	they've got lip on the sojourn to help
22383s	get this team win for South Korea you
22386s	think but that's also the map South
22389s	Korea lost to Finland in the group State
22391s	don't talk about okay my bad my bad my
22393s	bad you don't talk about that what do
22395s	you mean I said South Korea one new
22398s	queen stre against Canada then they lose
22400s	it and now I'm like okay well that's why
22402s	I don't mention it come on keeping
22406s	everything
22407s	well we know both these teams have
22408s	played a ton of ciruit Royale so there
22410s	are no excuses for messing this up but
22414s	what a choice to make when you think
22416s	about the historics of circuit Royale as
22420s	a map you see South Korea pick this
22422s	because they're putting a lot of faith
22423s	into lip on the soour to help get the
22426s	executions and to be able to get those
22428s	picks but Circ Royale is also a sigma
22432s	map and you're picking this against one
22433s	of the best Sigma in the world in besta
22436s	we have a packed house here in
22440s	BlizzCon for the Battle of top
22443s	three this would be the most incredible
22447s	upset that World Cup has ever seen if
22450s	Finland can win circuit Royale and take
22454s	the game five they've beaten South Korea
22456s	here before but you've learned from that
22459s	experience it was the defense this is
22462s	such a defendable map this is a
22463s	defendable composition it's hard to push
22466s	and that's where South Korea buil the
22468s	bullet last time it is and they're
22470s	making an adjustment to the composition
22472s	that we've seen and that's going to be
22473s	Li on the Symetra instead what a better
22476s	choice for the defense here because you
22478s	know that you're not as jumpable
22480s	basically you've seen how Finland like
22482s	to play that game against something like
22484s	the souljour When You See It isolated
22486s	you can Rush on top of it with something
22488s	like that symmetra teleporter that
22490s	they're going to have behind them as
22491s	well but South Korea can use their
22494s	symmetra as a disengaged tool to make
22496s	sure they taking as little damage as
22499s	possible Finland are not even going to
22502s	be challenged or pushed at this first
22504s	Corner South Korea has Han been also
22506s	stunned up on the left he has to be
22508s	ready to jump off this bridge if he
22510s	takes too much pressure but it's Bola
22513s	that is down but the grasp brings him
22515s	back to full health as Finland start to
22517s	take control of the top of this bridge
22519s	South Korea need to be quick to
22520s	disengage and things get scary the May
22523s	wolf from cloud almost keeps South Korea
22525s	here too long and again the Poke is
22528s	still strong SAA finds Gio South Korea
22531s	don't have the speed to get out of this
22533s	and Finland smell blood in the water
22536s	here comes Sona to heat things up it's
22539s	South Korea lose the first fight but so
22542s	much progress from Finland can South
22544s	Korea contest I don't think they want to
22547s	look at how far away H is lip's not even
22549s	alive right now to be able to advest the
22551s	teleporter so Finland just like that
22553s	they're going to get the first capture
22556s	and that time time bank is enormous
22558s	that's 5 minutes on the clock here for
22560s	Finland to work with and you can hear
22562s	the crowd cheering them on Finland right
22565s	now A Crowd favorite to try to get this
22568s	win over South Korea well they're
22570s	battling against the South Korean fans
22573s	too in I almost said in the chat but in
22575s	the crowd probably in the chat too
22578s	Finland we said against KSA they are
22580s	hard team to stop you stop you can only
22583s	slow them down as Finland advance up the
22586s	corner they're trying to deny the use of
22588s	the an Matrix a photon barrier from lip
22591s	has to be used to Anchor South Korea in
22593s	this position so that they can keep
22595s	poking and bring down at Finland but
22598s	South Korea can't hold this position
22600s	they're too stubborn but they will go
22602s	down without a fight Fielder is able to
22605s	get a trade but without Fielder sweet
22607s	healing Finland will continue on they
22611s	had to give up a little bit of card
22612s	progress there but you can say they were
22614s	looking at the final objective come on
22616s	somebody get the please please don't get
22619s	off the cart I will lose my mind deam
22623s	Finland wow Cloud goes out just like
22626s	that lip sniffs him out of nowhere oh
22629s	can Finland I don't know if they want to
22631s	give up this momentum but Thea gets stun
22634s	the lasering from lip is too much and
22637s	Cloud played that overextended to go for
22639s	a blizzard play and South Korea bought
22643s	themselves a chance to fight back that
22645s	was starting to get out of hand it was
22648s	now team Finland have to work to build
22650s	up that momentum again but South Korea
22652s	are going to opt to play this really far
22654s	forward they know that if they try to
22655s	play these spawn doors they're going to
22657s	force out a ton of ultimates and that's
22659s	exactly what's happening as using the
22660s	grab flots oh yeaha trusted his team to
22663s	kill hotman so Finland redirects his
22666s	ground FL to the rest of South Korea and
22669s	South Korea over extended this should
22671s	not even be where the fight has taken
22673s	place South Korea went from like the ego
22677s	spawn hold and got punished now Finland
22680s	could maybe cap here lip has the
22683s	teleporter to try and help them contest
22685s	South Korea have maybe gone themselves
22687s	another fight and a last second touch
22689s	from Sparkle he drops the blizzard Cloud
22692s	H doesn't have the ice block cuz he had
22694s	to drop the blizzard sound barriers and
22697s	everything for the kitchen sink is
22699s	thrown it's South Korea don't have their
22701s	DPS and Finland have all the time in the
22705s	world
22707s	you see that close hold and South
22709s	Korea's game plan there is just try to
22711s	get out those ultimates they know how
22713s	much Finland has to work with and if
22715s	you're able to lessen the burden then
22717s	South Korea has an easier time to be
22719s	able to hold this defense but Finland
22723s	they don't care about that they see that
22726s	finish line they see where that Victory
22728s	box is going to be they want to plant
22731s	themselves on the third objective and
22733s	they got the ball rolling now besta is
22737s	with M this is his territory and he's
22740s	pooping noer can't deal with it either
22744s	2K from MAA maybe he even gets credit
22747s	for that one of course he does and finin
22751s	they strike and they strike fast see how
22754s	Stone Cold Masa is too it's another day
22757s	in the office for him at this point
22758s	especially working on that Coast
22761s	side they're about to round this final
22763s	Corner this is where things get a little
22766s	little tricky here for Finland we're
22768s	going to end up seeing South Korea try
22769s	to take this cool side they take The
22772s	High Ground away but where's the May
22773s	wall where's the team right now where
22775s	did the Boton barrier go okay there it
22777s	is okay South Korea can hold behind the
22780s	car remember they're on defense but
22782s	Finland will be able to push this cart
22784s	but they'll have a lot of room to work
22786s	with this is a good point to defend and
22789s	the flux comes out from besta doesn't
22791s	have a barrier but a good May wall it's
22793s	actually Finland hurting themselves
22795s	there with the May wall was a Dr didn't
22797s	want be to get too far but Fillin are
22800s	getting far the was a three minute time
22802s	bank and they're up by one in this fight
22805s	good a matrix exchange but Mickey is
22807s	down villain has to use the barrier or
22809s	they won't have enough sustain and now
22812s	you just remove Fielder and Finland
22815s	start to see progress South Korea have
22817s	to regroup and play off of respawn
22820s	Mickey will also be on car co to
22822s	teleport here faster as finin March sh
22826s	to the end of the match with over a 2
22830s	minute time Mak South Korea can't even
22833s	leave spawn BOS has three kills miss the
22838s	blizzard Finley complete the
22842s	map Finland have been bringing the
22845s	absolute pressure South Korea have been
22848s	folding under it every single moment
22852s	Finland knows exactly where to hit Korea
22855s	where it hurts
22857s	[Applause]
22859s	oh Finland chance I can understand it
22861s	now it's hard to hear some
22863s	[Applause]
22867s	sometimes imagine in a world where the
22872s	dusk said South Korea 3 to one they were
22876s	realistic where they weren't sure about
22878s	hit hit is not the problem Finland are
22881s	just so good this
22884s	composition they are showing other teams
22888s	how to play it yeah they're giving a
22890s	master class right now there's so many
22893s	great things to point out about how team
22896s	Finland are playing this compeition but
22899s	I really want to talk about how Vesta
22901s	has been able to just be nasty with the
22905s	accretions how many times have we seen
22908s	him hit a rock to the face of somebody
22911s	in South Korea who on the opposing side
22914s	I mean look at that
22916s	didn't he eat a blizzard too he yeah
22919s	he's got a he's got a Physics degree or
22921s	something I'm not even sure but give him
22923s	the PHD at this point two he denies two
22926s	ultimates yeah he he he just absolutely
22929s	like carried that final moment but we're
22933s	about to get into this next round where
22935s	South Korea have to try to Le the spawn
22937s	sparkles on the Genji hum on the junker
22939s	Queen they're going to throw something
22941s	at this or te fin going to take this map
22944s	the hanin shout he going to give that
22946s	over Health to Sparkle that's one of his
22949s	best heroes but against the sigma if you
22951s	get hit by an accretion you're dead
22955s	speaking of that sparkle is so is Chio
22958s	you can mitigate the damage that
22959s	symmetra does and Sona disengages so
22962s	quickly so smartly but Finland don't
22965s	have a main healer with Mickey gone so
22967s	they got to they got to back away they
22970s	do and lip got a pick there too right so
22972s	even if you had Mickey available you
22975s	really are looking at just having to
22977s	give some space up to live you want to
22978s	play around this corner because it's
22980s	going to give you a better defensive
22982s	position but sticking in the junker
22984s	Queen sparkles on the Genji this Genji
22987s	though going up against something like
22988s	the mate and the symmetra that's tough
22991s	with this junker Queen it's all about
22992s	the engaged you don't have a shield you
22994s	don't have a lot of su sustain you
22996s	cannot take poke you will not L win the
22999s	long War as South Korea head in with the
23003s	speed they ignore Vesta they head to the
23006s	the back line Mickey is a victim and
23009s	Finland have no heals even the a matrix
23012s	besta tries to save his team he has Masa
23015s	there does he po the barrier to salvage
23017s	this fight this seems unwinable South
23020s	Korea will be winning point a at a time
23023s	being
23025s	deficit South Korea might be able to get
23028s	this first capture point but Finland are
23032s	actually making a move on this one SAA
23033s	thinking about it maybe investing the
23035s	teleporter here but we're going to end
23036s	up seeing the soldier and keep the team
23039s	enough at Bay so Finland have to think
23041s	twice about this they want to play from
23043s	The High Ground they don't want to play
23044s	this straight away though hen has a
23046s	rampage ready to go and you're able to
23048s	get the bleed on to team Finland and
23050s	they can't use this impressive healing
23051s	that they got the back line Li gets hit
23053s	by
23055s	a gets Mele sound barrier 54 fav of
23060s	Finland but Mickey's dead again so much
23062s	of South Korea's Focus has now been on
23064s	this backline they know all they can't
23066s	win the take bear and it's up to Sparkle
23069s	who cuts down the rest behind
23072s	Thea it's South Korea
23075s	continue seeing the Dragon Blade out of
23078s	Sparkle gives me goosebumps sometimes
23080s	just knowing how good he's been on this
23083s	hero and how often we've been able to
23085s	see him pop off on the Genji Dragon
23088s	Blade no different able to help secure
23089s	the team fight here for South Korea but
23091s	team Finland are coming back with he's
23094s	like I'm done any but taking you with me
23097s	Finland or anti-heal B is low and Korea
23100s	have their executioners out it's lip
23103s	again spy
23105s	goodbye South Korea 3 and 1/2 minutes to
23110s	is there going to be a recontest Finland
23111s	are swapping they are see the May
23114s	Bastion coming out from Finland which is
23116s	actually the DPS Duo that we saw be able
23119s	to take down South Korea on this
23121s	particular map so looking at the main
23123s	the Bastion how much pressure can this
23125s	SA put on the H bin no contest comes
23129s	through and now team Finland they're
23130s	going to have to try to back away from
23131s	this point but not before the commanding
23133s	shout com through from hot yeah missing
23135s	that symmetra that Finland couldn't get
23138s	anything going to contest it's South
23140s	Korea want to punish them them they
23142s	might have walked into a trap great
23144s	mayol from cloud but no kills out of
23146s	that even with the mrix from Fielder to
23149s	I am surprised we still have 10 people
23151s	on the field but look who's back there
23153s	Sparkle is in deep he has the sound as
23156s	Cloud tries to divide South Korea with
23158s	the blizzard but it's lip that continues
23161s	to make an impact double kill and a team
23165s	wipe in favor of South Korea with less
23168s	than 4 minutes to go to the end of the
23171s	map Thea tried his best to try to stop
23174s	that card as long as he could that
23176s	contest is going to buy Finland some
23177s	valuable time but look at where lip can
23181s	take this angle you can play around pool
23183s	you can play around this High Ground
23185s	Play some of these positions where
23188s	Finland just doesn't have access to you
23190s	who can jump on that there's very little
23192s	Mobility on the side of Finland right
23194s	now once you've lost that symmetra it's
23196s	really going to be up to Masa to try to
23198s	dislodge this soier Shield is down for
23201s	best besta so is the grasp so Finland
23204s	Can't Hold This top window any longer
23206s	South Korea can harass it while the geni
23208s	can climb to the ho at high ground and
23210s	so can Li the overclock is Unleashed Li
23213s	takes aim and Sparkle cuts the by the
23216s	heel 5v4 South Korea now Rampage to the
23220s	end that's Cloud by some seconds with
23222s	ice with the ice block on the cart it's
23225s	South Korea are Relentless they will not
23229s	be kicked
23230s	around this will be their completion
23233s	with at least around a minute of an
23238s	advantage talk about a fast push for
23240s	team Finland but South Korea they also
23245s	able to get such a quick push down and
23247s	yeah that's a 46 second Advantage going
23250s	the way of South Korea you take a look
23252s	at that time B difference that's a lot
23254s	of wiggle room to work with when it
23256s	comes down to generating those ultimates
23258s	but we've seen Finland in these
23260s	positions before we go into extra rounds
23264s	because of these map completions and
23266s	Finland can take these smaller time
23268s	Banks and turn it into almost an
23271s	insurmountable lead these extra rounds I
23274s	think are going to be a lot differing
23275s	with the compositional swaps we saw with
23279s	going to junker Queen Finland opting for
23281s	the Bastion the issue with finland's
23283s	comp is that they don't have time to set
23285s	up this sauna Bastion besta Shield is
23288s	getting shattered immediately his grasp
23291s	is only going to last a few seconds and
23293s	SAA doesn't want to be the reason
23295s	Finland lose the fight he has to play
23297s	smart and conservatively as South Korea
23301s	go back to just the hyper engage comp of
23304s	this junker Queen to enable lip and
23307s	Sparkle at their best heroes hell fillan
23309s	are on the attack so they get a chance
23312s	to scope it out a little bit see what
23314s	South Korea are going to be investing
23316s	into this defense and try to make some
23318s	counter picks that is a terrifying
23321s	picture at the front
23324s	door this will be the last face you
23327s	remember before your eyes
23329s	close South Korea with a close hold
23332s	defense but Finland counter rotate to a
23334s	further away door to take advantage of
23338s	the Poke that junker Queen is very weak
23341s	against Finland focusing at least at
23344s	Fielder and CH hodman is at half Health
23347s	the wall is brought up from cloud but
23349s	lip strikes to sa as soon as he goes to
23352s	tank form and South Korea at least we're
23356s	able to take some of this time bank down
23358s	before Finly move on another sick
23362s	accretion Vesta is landing these left
23365s	right we're going to get down to a
23367s	minute and 10 seconds starting around
23369s	that first corner of that first point
23371s	but South Korea get a chance to take
23373s	this defense of position before they get
23375s	a setup for saa's
23377s	Bastion that gives a big Advantage here
23380s	to South Korea especially when you look
23381s	at someone like hanin that can use the
23384s	knife from junle Queen to help dislodge
23386s	somebody does South Korea want to take
23389s	the initiative they've already used the
23390s	sh because of the initial damage from
23392s	Team fitland sp's getting Frozen up
23394s	manages the dash out but some important
23396s	cool Downs were just used the dash the
23399s	shout South Korea need a second and
23401s	Finland are not letting them think or do
23405s	anything they managed to lock down Hanan
23408s	and sparkles next on The Hit List and
23411s	Finland besides getting a lot of push
23414s	back coming out of Spawn they can't
23416s	point a got to be careful of that time
23419s	bank 20 seconds
23424s	left
23426s	can Lincoln push the advantage they've
23428s	got the gravitic flux walk up to the
23430s	spawn room doors FP once is overclock
23434s	online but does he even get a chance to
23437s	get it off here Finland have so many SS
23440s	this is their fight to win unless Li has
23442s	something to say about it bua doesn't
23444s	care he doesn't even drop the barrier
23446s	besta has so much health he takes all of
23449s	lips attention and the flux is enough to
23452s	overwhelm hodman and South Korea don't
23454s	have a tank to defend it's up the
23456s	sparkle to get on the flank and that's
23458s	closed off so is Sparkle in again
23460s	because of this F wall from cloud South
23464s	Korea find themselves down two with
23466s	Finland heading to point B and they've
23468s	got it back up Sparkle and Genji doesn't
23470s	even have the blade online right now and
23472s	Chio is a sound Bearer for only one
23474s	Ultimate Sonic can keep them off this
23476s	point with something like the artillery
23478s	strike he doesn't even need it I'm
23482s	surprised hanit could touch at all that
23484s	CL
23485s	is on it today Finland are on a roll in
23491s	overtime any fight loss will end their
23494s	push Cloud doesn't even care about
23496s	getting taken down here because he can
23498s	come back from spawn the spawn is right
23500s	behind them and Finland still get a
23503s	chance to use his artillery strike try
23504s	to get some space for themselves but
23507s	South
23508s	Korea they're starting to look at the
23512s	wall right now they've got to rotate
23514s	around this point got to start to strike
23516s	and keep this defense alive because
23518s	Finland they got the wind in their sails
23520s	right now South Korea are drowning but
23523s	they're back on their feet they're still
23525s	aoat because of this down of giio and
23528s	Sparkle it's too much health to get
23530s	through and he's
23532s	found finlin up by two with the
23536s	artillery strike to rain down of South
23539s	Korea who find themselves behind the
23541s	cart staggered from the reinforcements
23544s	their team desperately need ppin is
23548s	South Korea's last hope in this round
23551s	he's got the Rampage but the May wall is
23554s	locking them in Sparkle has no choice
23555s	but to go touch okay the Rampage gets a
23559s	touch H back on the cour and the rest of
23562s	South Korea might be able to play off
23564s	with the anti heel of the Rampage but
23567s	vland have more in
23569s	store when Li does he make the T B the
23573s	three the four it's only mickeey versus
23576s	Sparkle and Sparkle gets the last left
23580s	no fall completion for Finland but
23583s	you're not out of the woods yet if
23585s	you're South
23586s	Korea
23589s	0.01 M away from that third
23593s	Point Finland almost got a full capture
23597s	a second
23600s	time we are deciding a winner what of
23604s	this bronze medal in this
23607s	round South Korea only had a minute
23612s	Advantage I forgot 46 seconds okay close
23615s	not even round it up yeah we round that
23619s	up we give it to him but what do they do
23622s	in the
23623s	situation that is that is so
23626s	insurmountable when you look at the fact
23627s	that team Finland put you look at that
23632s	0.01 I know was like my eyes don't
23635s	deceive me that that was saved by
23638s	Sparkle at the end good swap to the
23640s	Tracer he actually had the initial touch
23643s	but then like evaporated in a second
23645s	managed to come back and then win it I
23647s	thought South Korea were going to lose
23649s	that for sure Mickey almost clutched
23652s	almost but you can't even call it a
23654s	clutch right now because South Korea
23656s	have to play this
23659s	perfectly 2 minutes and 46 seconds that
23662s	is a lot of time to work with in South
23664s	Korea are going to continue to put their
23666s	faith in this hanit juner queen with the
23669s	lip Soldier the sparkle Genji and this
23671s	Allstar Duo of Fielder and Chio but lip
23675s	has to be opening things up with a pick
23677s	this Soldier is so
23679s	important Finland are playing very close
23683s	this could be a risk they won't have an
23684s	easy route to escape there's only that
23687s	car as great cover maybe the side room
23690s	but the Finland poke they really wanted
23692s	to finish off Sparkles and manages to
23695s	trade out with Masa and the respawn
23697s	Advantage is for South Korea but any
23700s	small win that Finland can take is
23702s	precious seconds that they can take off
23704s	of the South Korean time bank it's
23707s	already 2 minutes South Korea have to go
23709s	back to spawn right now as H's going to
23711s	get staggered lip is able to pop his
23713s	head out of that spawn room door but he
23715s	has no cover besta and cloud in this
23718s	front liner still going to keep this
23720s	defense alive for Finland and Mickey's
23722s	going to be the first one to an ultimate
23724s	you got that a matrix even just keep
23726s	South Korea away for this point and
23728s	that's again now down to a minute and 40
23730s	seconds oh the a matrix and South Korea
23734s	were
23735s	committed SAA was ready at the perfect
23738s	time and just it's just the one pick but
23741s	that one pick is huge South Korea have
23743s	to wait they've got to start working
23746s	with what they've got and and sadly it's
23747s	not very much you've got the up Matrix
23749s	from Fielder but maybe Sparkle getting
23752s	in the back line okay lip opens things
23753s	up he gets
23755s	Sparkle went on top of the roof Finland
23758s	didn't see it coming they couldn't take
23760s	the front fight but boy it was too late
23763s	but that South Korea time bank Advantage
23765s	is gone they only have one minute and
23769s	that's it that's why Finland don't care
23771s	about playing up close to South Korea
23774s	spawn well that might look like it's
23776s	really risky Finland at this point have
23778s	Whitted away enough of the time bank
23780s	that if they win one fight or the carts
23782s	in overtime look at how much room they
23785s	have to work with they have such a big
23787s	lead in terms of how much progress they
23789s	got on their rounds Bas to the front
23792s	Okay Sparkle is dodging everything the
23794s	accretion and he finds his way past the
23797s	immortality and cloud is in trouble
23800s	Finland are carved apart and South Korea
23804s	need to win this quickly too they'll get
23807s	point a and the time bank just gets
23810s	smaller and smaller this will have to be
23813s	an overtime push to the end or it's
23816s	Finland with the biggest upset in
23819s	OverWatch
23821s	history Finland in South Korea they had
23824s	really tough semifinals but they want to
23827s	prove that they were that
23830s	close and lip is just that close to
23832s	fighting to foreheads what to get this
23834s	may wall out of his face and as soon as
23836s	that's gone Finland are hiding fantastic
23841s	play from cloud as South Korea the
23843s	Rampage they drawing Finland in and hman
23846s	could be going in deep but it's Festa
23849s	that flies above and Li punched and
23854s	Finland aren't done yet the sound
23856s	barrier South Korea don't know what to
23859s	do Finland bounce back at the bigest
23862s	over and Finland have done
23865s	it they defeat a World Cup Giants and
23871s	taste bronze medal
23878s	Finland earned that win they were so
23882s	close in their semifinal to
23884s	upsetting the team of Saudi Arabia but
23888s	Finland have done
23889s	it they able to put Europe back on the
23894s	map and this was a team that was
23896s	underrated coming into the World Cup
23899s	this was a team that was an underdog
23901s	from the
23902s	start but Finland at the top of it all
23905s	that Sigma composition this match was
23908s	theirs besta underrated no
23913s	longer his gr flux to go to the back to
23917s	kill Li to cause confusion out of South
23920s	Korea hman didn't know whether to go for
23923s	the Rampage or to peel against the sigma
23926s	Finland third place to game FES and
23932s	finally one that they can finish on the
23934s	good
23935s	not Finland had it in them all
23940s	along South Korea not getting a medal
23944s	with how star stuned their rer is is
23948s	insane I can't believe the World Cup we
23951s	are having here at biscon this world cup

23973s	dreams of playing on a stage like this
23976s	and to represent their region this has
23978s	always been uh AAC and North America and
23983s	Europe has been in that conversation and
23985s	now they are the main topic after what
23987s	Finland has been able to do in this not
23990s	only in the semifinal bringing KSA to a
23993s	game five but to win against South
23996s	Korea again too on circuit Royale I did
23999s	six it this time I'm so excited listen
24002s	and the EM region they're not done yet

24065s	expectations and let me actually come
24066s	over to you Sona real fast uh just give

24092s	hey I think it goes without saying that
24094s	team is a formidable opponent an
24095s	incredible Squad but today the day
24098s	belongs to Finland and that has to feel
24101s	pretty damn good so congratulations to
24103s	the both of you guys give it up for
24104s	Mickey give it up for sauna give it up
24106s	for team Finland as they finish on the
24109s	podium bronze medal finish here at the
24111s	OverWatch World Cup let's send it back
24113s	over to the desk
24115s	thank you so much GB great to hear from
24118s	the squad wow Finland is our bronze
24123s	medal recipient and what a treat it was
24126s	to watch them get there incredible group
24129s	stage that's right and what a
24132s	performance today they got their Revenge
24134s	they played them close already once this
24136s	tournament and now they manage to do the
24139s	run back and this time they come out on
24141s	top let's discuss how they got it done
24143s	what a phenomenal performance for me
24145s	this was team Finland taking control of
24147s	this match from front to back South
24149s	Korea they tried to match finland's comp
24151s	but again the team playing their comfort
24153s	playing what they know best comes out on
24155s	top in the end I thought the team from
24158s	South Korea would be would be just too
24160s	difficult to beat even on team finland's
24161s	Comfort but no it was these these up and
24164s	UPS they refus to give in no matter how
24167s	tough the opponent and for me honestly
24170s	like I know what this means to these
24172s	guys on team Finland so many of these
24173s	players they've been waiting for their
24175s	opportunity to either make their name or
24177s	reestablish themselves on the scene and
24179s	they've achieved it I think honestly
24181s	from a competitive perspective you have
24182s	to be looking at all the players on team
24184s	Finland and asking why didn't we get
24186s	these guys on our OverWatch team this
24187s	year I mean some of the players on South
24190s	Korea they like won the biggest
24191s	tournaments in in in OverWatch earlier
24194s	this year and here you have Finland with
24197s	a few members from contenders Europe
24199s	putting it together as a nation and
24201s	coming here and just doing f like
24204s	incredibly well like bronze medalist are
24207s	you kidding me uh there's been so many
24209s	glow up performances on this team like
24211s	I've been pointing out Cloud the entire
24213s	tournament I think his may play has been
24214s	phenomenal the way he utilizes May wall
24216s	to really absorb damage but also to set
24218s	up for some of these bzs and find pcks
24220s	sauna I think he struggled early on with
24223s	the symmetra especially in the
24224s	semi-final against Saudi Arabia I think
24226s	that SAA struggled on the symmetra but
24227s	he really find his Groove in this bronze
24229s	medal match and really set up his team
24231s	for success and Vesta I mean the amount
24233s	of accre this guy hit through out right
24235s	here onto hin to cancel Dr flux
24239s	unbelievable from every single member
24241s	and Masa and Masa Masa speed boost speed
24245s	boost a speed boost Masa guys we we got
24247s	to we got to mention Mi Micky as well on
24250s	that bati he was amazing and and I mean
24251s	you guys were players so you guys could
24253s	probably speak to this like they are
24255s	they they were so close to beating South
24256s	Korea the group stages and they lost so
24258s	like they going having to going to like
24261s	face them again like in a very important
24263s	match like this so imagine how much
24265s	pressure that they felt but they
24266s	overcame everything with their teamwork
24269s	and their individual just performance
24271s	this was just fantastic OverWatch played
24273s	by team Finland to clutch up as well in
24276s	the map five right in the overtimes over
24278s	and over again in a series this long and
24280s	a day this long to have that kind of
24282s	endurance as a player I have so much
24284s	respect for these guys I really feel
24286s	like as well we have to say great
24288s	performances from individuals on both
24289s	sides for me there was a sigma Gap here
24292s	and and it wasn't in favor of H I don't
24294s	know if I've ever seen somebody gap on
24296s	Sigma I mean canceling the fluxes time
24299s	and time again was Vesta that is like
24301s	one of those individual plays on the Sig
24303s	mirror that just you just you just turn
24305s	the game completely on its head from one
24307s	mechanical play and Bola he was ice cold
24310s	hitting those rocks all the way through
24311s	the end of the series honestly
24313s	ridiculous and then Masa comes in and
24315s	boops after your team off the map like
24316s	team South Korea they were fearing by
24318s	the end of that match you could tell the
24319s	tempo was just clearly in finland's
24321s	favor absolutely what a performance what
24324s	what a great game for us to witness
24326s	generally today has just been absolutely
24328s	incredible it literally does not get
24330s	better no it does not I think this is
24332s	the best competitive OverWatch we've
24334s	ever seen in any tournament ever and I
24335s	don't think I'm overstating
24337s	it back to back it's usually one this is
24340s	the best OverWatch World Cup that se we
24342s	are feasting everyone we are eating
24346s	here we are we are indeed let's once
24349s	again take a look at the bracket because
24351s	with this performance Finland secured
24353s	their best ever OverWatch World Cup
24357s	placement this is
24359s	incredible and fraggy would be
24363s	proud they watching I want I want to
24365s	believe that they're sitting somewhere
24367s	right
24367s	now right bronze metal is what you're
24370s	you're better than 40 other teams that
24373s	participated in the over world to put
24375s	country on the podium you're literally
24377s	one of the best OverWatch World Cup
24379s	teams by far it's you know it's it's
24382s	definitely it's an amazing thing for
24384s	it's an incredible achievement I feel
24386s	like over the course of this OverWatch
24388s	World Cup Finland kind of turned
24390s	themselves into a crowd favorite
24391s	everyone just started cheering for that
24393s	Squad and rightfully so they had an
24396s	identity you know a lot of teams like
24398s	they're doing a little bit of this a
24399s	little bit of that but like Finland knew
24401s	exactly what they want to play and they
24402s	played it to Perfection played it to a
24404s	te it was absolutely beautiful to
24406s	witness well deserved but now we got one
24409s	more match to go that's the final is
24411s	coming our way and that one will be
24414s	played out between the team from China
24416s	and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and we
24417s	will break it all down for you after
24419s	this

24711s	time and so many people came out but
24713s	what's a message as someone who who you
24716s	know cosplays who does so much for the
24718s	community that you would like to share
24720s	with folks who have never come to
24721s	BlizzCon before you guys got to join us

24740s	pretty damn awesome wouldn't you guys
24741s	agree with that W hell yeah back to you
24745s	[Music]
24747s	guys thank you so much we are here to
24750s	vibe to have a good time to connect with
24753s	friends with family with everyone who is
24756s	an enjoyer of good OverWatch and that is
24759s	what these teams have been brought to
24760s	the table for the O World Cup 2023 we're
24763s	here and we are getting ready for the
24766s	finals we need to Crown our champion and
24769s	this year this one is going to be fought
24771s	out between the team from China and and
24773s	the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia we did know
24776s	that China is a very likely you know
24779s	contestant for this title heading into
24781s	this but I dare say a lot of people
24784s	would not have had the Kingdom of Saudi
24786s	Arabia joining them in this very final
24789s	so let's talk about this very Squat and
24791s	what they've brought to the table and
24793s	how they performed thus far they've made
24795s	an incredible Darkhorse run so far in
24797s	the tournament soe but I think I can't
24799s	overstate how how much this is the best
24801s	in class ever that we've seen from the
24803s	Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that their
24805s	performance has been amazing to even get
24807s	this far right to be in the top two is
24809s	an incredible accomplishment and now
24811s	they have a chance to fight for a gold
24814s	medal here in the OverWatch World Cup
24815s	this is an incredible opportunity for
24817s	them but I can't overs say as well how
24820s	much of an upset this would be if they
24821s	were able to win I mean these guys
24823s	they're they're contenders players right
24825s	yes they're making a name for themselves
24826s	yes they're like burgeoning onto the
24828s	scene but the team from China is fully
24831s	stacked I mean that is a monster r
24833s	you are up against so now the challenge
24835s	for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is to
24837s	stick to your guns to stay confident
24839s	through to the end right Finland they
24840s	were able to force the team from South
24842s	Korea to come to their house and and
24844s	match their comp and I wonder can the
24845s	kingom of Saudi Arabia do the
24847s	same but they have an uphill battle to
24851s	fight as they are going up against the
24852s	team from China and in two consecutive
24855s	World Cups the team from China has
24857s	played second here at the OverWatch
24859s	World Cup and now once more they find
24862s	themselves here in the gold medalist
24864s	matchup hungry to win this tournament I
24868s	mean this is an incredibly stack roster
24869s	featuring some of the best players in
24870s	the world I call it already the best
24872s	damage you we have seen so far this
24874s	tournament guu is back in the world cup
24876s	one more time after building his name
24879s	his legacy in this very tournament the
24882s	backline as well we've been overlooking
24884s	it for the past few years but really how
24886s	they've come into their own the past
24887s	couple of years mon has been a stand out
24889s	in Anna arguably the best Anna player in
24891s	the entire world so this is an Allstar
24893s	team with pre-built Synergy going into
24896s	this tournament this is the big
24898s	Juggernaut that find themselves here in
24900s	the gold medalist match yeah I think
24902s	looking at this match ahead of time you
24903s	would have thought it would be South
24905s	Korea and the team from China here but
24906s	no team from China the only one standing
24909s	of the two and only one more in their
24911s	way you've got to be you've got to be
24913s	scared of the team from China at this
24914s	point in the tournament everyone should
24916s	be yeah and I'm especially excited
24918s	because this might very well be a clash
24920s	of styles we do see that the the team
24923s	from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia heavily
24925s	relying on those Sigma compositions on
24926s	the other side we do see that strong
24928s	dive coming out that aggressive play
24930s	style from the team from China now I
24932s	can't wait to find out who is going to
24933s	be the uh the top dog who's going to
24936s	have the upper deck in this battle I
24939s	know we're ready for this I am certain
24941s	our teams are ready but the big question
24943s	is is our crowd ready let's send it to
24945s	Golden Boy to find
24946s	out thank you so much Zoe yes I am here
24950s	to find out if our crowd
24953s	is ready for the OverWatch World Cup
24957s	finals I don't know is this section
24959s	ready are you guys ready what about over
24961s	there toward the rafters how about right
24964s	here you guys ready to go oh I know you
24966s	guys are ready to go this is it folks it
24969s	all comes down to this the Kingdom of
24971s	Saudi Arabia versus the team from China
24974s	two teams looking to make history but we
24977s	got to find out what our Des thinks
24978s	about the predictions so send it back
24980s	over to Zoe thank you so much yet the
24983s	crowd is ready and ready and so are we
24986s	so let's dive straight into our
24987s	predictions I think as much as my
24991s	European heart does want to see you know
24994s	a European contenders team taking it all
24996s	what a great story that would
24998s	be but I do not think it's going to
25001s	happen I do think that the team from
25003s	China has looked absolutely Unstoppable
25005s	they have been able to get away with
25007s	that
25008s	dive and no other team really claim that
25011s	came that close to it so I have to go
25013s	with what I know best and that is the
25014s	players from Team from China I also went
25016s	with Team from China after that they
25018s	after they Beast team South Korea that
25020s	was it I was like this team this team is
25024s	going to be the team that gets the gold
25025s	medal this year they're stacked roster
25027s	they look locked in and they look ready
25030s	I'm going for team from China you guys
25032s	know me I I always choose my mind over
25034s	my heart my mind tells me you know the
25037s	sigma coms with the right counter picks
25039s	you can shut down the echo you can
25040s	stifle the Genji if you're just
25042s	perfectly on Point playing well but guys
25045s	my heart has been captured by another
25046s	team this year it's the team from China
25049s	I I don't I don't even believe they're
25051s	playing the the best meta the most
25053s	optimal comp I just don't think it
25055s	matters they are playing on such a level
25058s	such momentum such Pace talent and
25060s	coordination I don't think there are
25062s	five players in the world who could
25064s	challenge them on this stage right here
25065s	today I agreed I was kind of hoping a
25068s	little bit that it would be this
25071s	roster's moment moment in Toronto but
25074s	alas it was not but this time around
25078s	this really is the culmination of
25081s	Chinese OverWatch bonding together and
25084s	fighting and earning themselves that
25086s	first global Title I got the team from
25088s	China winning their first OverWatch
25090s	World Cup here today I think it's going
25092s	to be a triumphant 3 victory over the
25095s	king of wo yeah let's make it clean
25098s	let's make it clean you know what they
25099s	were the runner up two years in a row it
25102s	is time for them to take that gold home
25104s	but the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be
25106s	standing in their way and I'm sure
25107s	they're going to pull out all the stops
25109s	to not make that happen let's see which
25112s	team will be coming out on top we're
25113s	ready to meet
25116s	them all right BlizzCon this is it the
25120s	OverWatch World Cup finals and this is
25123s	what it's for please welcome the Kingdom
25126s	of Saudi
25130s	Arabia They Might Be The Underdogs here
25132s	here in our gold medal match but David
25135s	sometimes the sling can take down
25137s	Goliath it's very possible here today if
25139s	these players can come together on an
25141s	individual on a collective level and
25143s	take on the Chinese juggernauts across
25145s	the stage it would be monumentous for
25148s	them they know what it means I can't
25149s	wait to see what they can bring in this
25151s	match and their
25154s	opponents the team from
25160s	Shina truly an all th lineup having
25163s	played together all year long they
25166s	decided to really put together the best
25169s	roster that China possibly could they
25172s	wanted the best hit scan players the
25174s	best flex players they wanted the best
25176s	support players on one single roster and
25179s	now they've earned themselves a spot
25181s	here in this final with an opportunity
25183s	to bring it home for their
25186s	region Bliss Conan this is what it's all
25189s	about right here this trophy the
25192s	OverWatch World Cup trophy and we are
25195s	going to find our champion right now but
25197s	I got a very easy question are you
25200s	ready let's try it again are you
25205s	ready let's send it over to your casters
25207s	it's Uber and Mr
25209s	ax four years ago the Kingdom of Saudi
25213s	Arabia made their foray into the
25215s	OverWatch World Cup they placed 11th
25217s	through 20th the prelims the prelims
25220s	never made it to blz con now they aw
25223s	their final task and in front of them
25225s	the mythical dragon rears its head its
25228s	years of History hard work and Legacy in
25231s	the team from China that await them and
25233s	it's really impressive I mean what 11th
25235s	through 20th in the prelims like that is
25238s	you're you're not down there with like
25239s	Singapore Iceland you're not getting
25241s	even close to groups and from that time
25244s	to now you not only pass all those teams
25247s	in prelims you pass all those teams in
25249s	groups and then you run it all the way
25252s	to the finals against a team from China
25255s	they they found themselves in this
25257s	situation before they expected to be
25259s	here uh no surprise on that side let's
25262s	establish a few things as we look upon
25264s	Samoa as our first map in the series
25266s	Saudi Arabia are the underdog team from
25269s	China are expecting here to come and
25272s	take the gold but that sets up the story
25274s	line Jake already teases this David
25276s	versus Goliath narrative is a young
25279s	incredibly talented team on the side of
25282s	Saudi Arab
25283s	going up against the juggernauts the
25284s	Giants the team from China yeah and Jake
25287s	also kind of acknowledges like that he
25290s	he kind of thinks the sigma comps are
25291s	probably better it's just that the team
25294s	from China plays this dive so fast the
25296s	one thing I will say is we do see surot
25299s	jet pick up the arari time and time
25302s	again maybe the bestari player in the
25303s	world it's a little bit of a different
25305s	look we see a lot of teams with the
25306s	sigma either run like a BFF with a Brig
25309s	or a BFF with a Lucio if you want to
25312s	play a little bit more of like a rush
25313s	style uh the way that KSA plays is like
25317s	very uh kind of poke oriented hu in
25319s	though probably going to see him pick of
25320s	the Lucio it's time BlizzCon to Crown a
25324s	2023 OverWatch World Cup champion
25328s	be they have played Sigma comps pretty
25332s	much exclusively the entire time and
25335s	this may catch the team from China
25337s	completely off guard seeing a junker
25339s	Queen on the other side even looking at
25340s	the top down map we saw guay very
25342s	quickly what's that making a about face
25345s	happen K on the junker Queen here and a
25348s	Cassidy for
25351s	quartz one of the most dominant hit scam
25353s	players at this
25355s	tournament expect cours to make waves
25357s	here and they still run the SIM for a
25359s	little bit of extra Mobility really
25361s	interesting here leave head shot there
25363s	forced into a deflect CS playing rather
25365s	close to the front line here as guwe is
25367s	reluctant to engage to deep it's a
25369s	Teleport play to the backside but three
25371s	players from kit with a bionade you be
25374s	under a bit of pressure but gu won't
25375s	commit to any of these Dives yet Shai
25378s	now has a lot of space as he rotates
25380s	around and Saudi Arabia have to play
25382s	from this small room yeah and you Ed a
25384s	TP they want to make a play for the
25385s	supports of the team from China but a
25387s	biionic grenade from M St that m is in a
25390s	Reload animation and has to go for an
25391s	immortality field instead maybe not the
25393s	most efficient use of that ability but
25395s	it keeps his team standing KSA is in
25397s	trouble do e with a V grenade and here's
25399s	the metor strike that's the first Blood
25401s	gu Flames
25403s	H and it is going to be a full scale
25406s	route for Saudi
25407s	[Applause]
25409s	Arabia yeah so team from China they win
25412s	that it's really a really drawn out
25414s	fight right KSA poking proding getting
25416s	that amp Matrix that Sur maed has and
25419s	then trying to make a play after that
25421s	they commit to this compr at least
25423s	another fight it's a big investment in
25425s	the Cassidy here for quartz oh there it
25428s	is okay the Poke damage claims leav he's
25430s	playing on top of the bridge that wasn't
25432s	the way of the team from trying to PL
25434s	this that's for sure here comes the
25436s	symmetra wall and quarts can play safely
25437s	from behind it m grenade throwing out
25440s	with the connection there the hindrance
25441s	on Shai he's playing from outside of
25443s	line of side it's also really
25445s	interesting right because the Sim uh
25446s	turrets they will slow right you have
25449s	the M grenade from the Cassidy like you
25452s	can actually really make it difficult
25454s	for gue to get out if he goes in
25457s	right mon here hoping to get eyes on
25459s	leave says I need to give you this n and
25461s	here he goes there the blade actually
25463s	ignores quartz and goes for Haku instead
25465s	going to be clearing out the immortality
25466s	field but quartz goes down guay flattens
25468s	him as he went for a dead eye Shai now
25470s	presses on just off the shot thrown to
25472s	that low ground but haru's able to get
25473s	away for the time being but the Sleep
25475s	connects and it's lights
25478s	out man his shy has been so good on the
25482s	so throughout the tournament that is the
25485s	rally that comes out from ler to keep
25487s	everybody topped
25489s	up S you will have the junk que all here
25493s	for KSA you can do some interesting
25494s	things TP nail it out the other side a
25497s	few options on how you want to that's a
25499s	huge bio grenade they play close up they
25500s	had no idea forget about the Jack Queen
25502s	ultimate M guay with four make it five
25506s	the full team wipe and it's to follow up
25509s	like you said on another incredible monk
25512s	Bion yes makes a switch here over to
25515s	Tracer going to need somebody to get a
25517s	touch 94 in counting s r don't have the
25521s	S TP anymore the Tracer of course from
25523s	hu will give them that option but
25524s	they're very low Hub backing up it's
25526s	going to be an Matrix here Goose's
25527s	already taken down Haku and where next
25530s	just to the points the team from
25533s	China put the fear in Saudi Arabia yeah
25536s	looks like they just got backed up a
25537s	little bit not able to get on and
25540s	contest it's a really interesting look
25542s	though from KSA early on I'm curious if
25545s	that is like just something for first
25547s	round Samoa something they want to try
25548s	the rest of the series potentially they
25551s	think it works but it looks like you
25552s	know at least at the top we're going to
25554s	be seeing Sigma this is the biotic R
25556s	look at this I mean The Mastermind here
25559s	the timing oh the St comes
25562s	inch it's Carnage the timing on that is
25566s	just
25567s	unreal send
25569s	me I'd say that the stars are lined but
25572s	this is the kind of thing that the team
25573s	from China replicate on an uncanny basis
25576s	all right so this is what I want to see
25577s	here uh these Sigma comps have been so
25581s	effective for Saudi Arabia how do you
25584s	you know can you consistently make this
25586s	work against that doomfist dive we
25588s	haven't seen a lot of teams give the
25591s	team from China trouble with their di if
25593s	there was know a team here that would
25595s	have played Sigma that could probably do
25596s	it it's this one yeah the consensus is
25598s	this is a stronger
25600s	composition can the team from China
25602s	overcome that inherent
25604s	handicap he gets fully charged up there
25607s	off of that disruptor shot that comes in
25609s	from court so just eating up some of
25610s	that damage Le went very low off screen
25613s	for a moment there who St going to get
25615s	that punch it's going to be U picked up
25616s	sh's able to find a head shot from
25617s	across the map kills like that when they
25619s	come for free it's incredible
25622s	value I think that's the hardest a quart
25624s	six out l so a trade here with the
25625s	soldiers dangerous going make it through
25627s	with quartz and Shai right now buying
25629s	for Supremacy both soj connecting these
25632s	rail guns Haku very low quartz fights
25634s	yet another one it's only the sojs here
25637s	lead goes down but it's traded ub's able
25639s	to at least get rid of the Genji and
25641s	it's going to be k
25642s	standing here as the Smoke Clear but
25644s	very quickly team for China are coming
25645s	back yes you have gu here shy and L so
25648s	still some players here that want to
25649s	fight there knows he can't overextend
25652s	there he goes a little bit low and KSA
25653s	is allowed to regain his bearings chai
25656s	doesn't have a great Seline right now as
25658s	KSA is just playing from the left hand
25659s	side of the P here notice Le's
25661s	positioning as well he wants to find a
25663s	way into a flanking spot maybe combining
25666s	here with a vade it's throwing in into a
25667s	good connection it's going to be the
25668s	immortality field forced out try again
25670s	that off angle relentless looking for U
25673s	as go drops down with that meteor strike
25675s	he'll be topped up in a moment if monk
25677s	can attend to him in time Shai still
25679s	refusing to fully commit on this dive
25681s	it's quartz to take him down ah quartz
25684s	vers shy is going to be fun in this
25686s	series over clock that comes in from
25688s	courtz you have gu with the benefits of
25690s	the Nano boost here tries to go in make
25692s	a play but not going to live through
25694s	that so they're going to have to back
25695s	out a little bit this is huge for KSA
25697s	you be had the wall through that's going
25698s	to shut shy as impact down
25700s	considerably Saudi Arabia have Point
25703s	control here so as Sim ultimate to
25705s	stretch that out be highly beneficial Le
25708s	needs to get rid of quartz here into
25709s	dangerous task but he's up to it deflect
25712s	now KSA falls back off the point and he
25714s	comes the blade the tpus as KSA trying
25716s	to scond a sound barrier now just to
25718s	keep them nice and Hearty and leave has
25720s	no way to get in with the blade chai
25722s	fully charged and has overclock this
25724s	next shot is important trying to get rid
25726s	of U with he's dodging ducking dipping
25727s	diving dodging out of his way cours
25729s	brought down by gu ub on one HP on the
25732s	gra but try can't find purchase still
25733s	the team from China have the ground
25735s	forces coming leave will find
25738s	two team for China are now in control
25741s	yeah almost 50% though 4 K I really like
25744s	that it's like interesting use like the
25746s	TP right they get out right behind Shai
25749s	like the the the hardest thing with you
25751s	know mechanics obviously in like a
25752s	shooter like this is know being able to
25754s	like change verticality right and then
25756s	also directly behind you so you're
25758s	making those shots really difficult for
25760s	Shai to adjust to try and land
25764s	a close packed group here for Saudi
25767s	Arabia they're expected to move here
25769s	into this room and this is where quartz
25771s	wants to play from to get some of these
25772s	head shots gu interrupts the accretion
25774s	maybe would have liked to have punched
25775s	deeper there but instead happy enough
25777s	disrupting KSA for the time being we he
25779s	come the TP onto the point and
25780s	immediately guay wants to reposition
25782s	doesn't like that angle of
25783s	attack he drops back down over towards
25786s	ub's position but an imortality field
25787s	quickly comes out from M nobody gets the
25790s	drop on that guy m in trouble doesn't
25792s	expect quartz to be nearly so close he
25794s	forced to play back from behind the TP
25795s	and there's a n now to deploy but Mar
25797s	have a chance he's brought down M
25800s	getting rid of Le is massive now the
25802s	team from China clambering to hold this
25805s	point he'll be evicted once more and you
25807s	can see gu's like Panic with his
25809s	movement because the TP comes in from
25812s	yui and they set up the amp Matrix right
25814s	on the back side of it so he has no idea
25815s	what to do he has to use all his
25816s	movement abilities to get out and look
25818s	at this for the first time we've seen
25820s	them actually switch off of the doom
25821s	again SE tapes of C so you're going to
25823s	see gue play the Winston could be a
25825s	fight where Nano blade's not an option
25826s	leads too far away from that so instead
25828s	give it over to gu who doesn't need an
25830s	ultimate to be effective with this Ana
25832s	boost here it goes go into the back line
25834s	who's he looking for hu might be able to
25836s	knock him away it's going to be a mass
25837s	TP away from the epicenter of the action
25840s	Z Rabia Now set up in that High Ground
25842s	room and Goose Ray happy to try and deal
25844s	with KSA but he can't bring the sigma
25846s	down and it's quart as the fight goes
25848s	longer his Threat Level increases
25849s	drastically Le comes forward big Dash
25852s	through and the blade for it AR is going
25853s	to drop the sound barrier now to blunt
25855s	the Dragon Blade entirely how does le
25857s	find any action here he's forced back to
25859s	the point with the rest of his team but
25860s	quartz are Standing Tall now under
25862s	intense scrutiny it's leave once more
25864s	two for one baby that's value the dash
25867s	finds a couple now Shai is able to work
25869s	down the rest of Saudi
25871s	Arabia 94% and then the flip for the
25874s	team from China I think this is going to
25876s	be a really interesting series cuz now
25878s	you see KSA they know with the Winston
25880s	in play you can play the Bastion now
25882s	right which Bastion has been a staple
25884s	really over the last few months of the
25886s	meta so a lot of kind of Mind Games
25888s	going on now with these comps trying to
25890s	counter each
25891s	other the Primal blade is
25895s	online chai has that overclock but
25897s	hasn't had great angles to play from
25899s	with Saudi Arabia often opting to occupy
25901s	that room and then tping out and imp P
25903s	oh no monk what somebody think of Monk
25906s	they TP straight on top of them great
25908s	move there but go is able to get rid of
25909s	Marin has to use Primal r barely gets
25912s	away alive and there's no honor to get
25913s	him back up to health but it doesn't
25915s	matter Kai wants to add his damage to
25918s	the pile now K and Haku have to try and
25921s	band together the here but they'll be
25922s	pushed off and it is the team from China
25925s	looking to take Samoa
25933s	away that is a map win for the team from
25937s	China but it is a close one and you saw
25939s	they have to it's really the first time
25941s	that we seen when they've gone up
25942s	against a sigma comp that they've had to
25944s	make adjustments so if you're KSA and
25946s	you're the players and the coaches like
25948s	you have to feel even though you lose
25949s	map number one pretty competitive round
25951s	number two and you're you you got them
25953s	off of what you wanted to get them off
25955s	of right so you have to take some
25957s	positives going into the next
25959s	M the Bastian comes in but only really
25961s	for one fight and guwe invests a full
25964s	Primal range to get rid of M that's no
25966s	immortality field and no potential ant
25969s	Matrix to turn that Bastion into
25971s	absolute Terror there's not enough time
25974s	for Saudi Arabia to get that working but
25976s	we know it's very very hard to play
25979s	Winston into that comp and you're right
25980s	mat getting China to switch off the Doom
25983s	it's got to feel good and I also think
25985s	uh you know for Saudi Arabia like you
25987s	saw quartz uh know not just kind of like
25989s	go Toe to Toe with Shai he was like
25991s	really you know getting the best at
25993s	times right you can say he was no I I
25996s	wouldn't say it's Gap I think obviously
25997s	you're going back and forth right but I
25999s	think quartz in the second round right
26001s	on the Soldier was Finding picks pretty
26003s	consistently it wasn't as one-sided as
26005s	we've seen where Shai is really
26007s	dominating just about everybody T Arabia
26010s	uh on downtown right they set up inside
26012s	that room they never stay there there's
26014s	always a big TP and one of the last ones
26016s	was a TP directly on top of Monk getting
26019s	the honor away especially in a Winston
26021s	comp is so big leave here I mean God he
26024s	saved the fight towards the end of that
26025s	round the double kill from that Swift
26026s	strike opening it up for Shai to clean
26029s	the fight up again this is where the
26031s	team foron are going to rise on for and
26033s	fall rather with Shai and Le if they're
26035s	firing hard to see anything going wrong
26038s	yeah and here is the end of the round
26039s	and you know as rashai just takes over
26041s	picks up a few kills so it'll be the
26044s	Saudi Arabia map pick will be blizzard
26046s	world so I actually think you're going
26048s	to see them go double Flex support here
26049s	I think you're going to see them go
26050s	arari Baptist right no put sured on that
26055s	aari you know bringing labo to play that
26058s	Baptist I think you're going to see them
26059s	do that going into this next match how
26061s	do you feel I guess about the team from
26063s	China's compositional prospects can they
26065s	just bring that doomfist out and and
26067s	find success because we're still hearing
26070s	a sigma composition a little bit more
26071s	robust than so many of these Maps right
26073s	now so there's a lot of Natural High
26074s	Ground here on blizzard world right so
26076s	you expect them to be able to kind of
26078s	control some of that High Ground you
26080s	have the extra damage from the arari the
26082s	captive Sun using it more defensively
26084s	right just kind of shooting it in at gue
26087s	as they dive in I think it could be
26088s	pretty interesting things are starting
26089s	to heat up here in the at BlizzCon to
26092s	really take the temperature we're going
26094s	to head down to the floor and even from

26190s	different spots right we see Sur even on
26192s	the last map right playing a little bit
26194s	off the Zone sometimes on the Baptist
26195s	but he was able to find a few picks
26197s	right key players up a little bit easier
26199s	to do on thear a fun map that small one
26201s	was and if that anything to go by these
26204s	two teams perhaps are a little evenly
26206s	matched than a 30 prediction from the
26208s	desk might have indicated still
26212s	Saudi Arabia need to turn that into map
26214s	wins and they hope to do so as we head
26216s	over to Blizzard World a ton of options
26218s	again if they can make it uncomfortable
26220s	for this doomfist set up for GU way
26222s	maybe for the Winston there's ways to
26224s	exploit this setup you can also just
26226s	lean on how strong your fundamentals are
26228s	with these signal based compositions
26230s	we've seen a reluctance I mean a
26232s	complete refusal from the team from
26234s	China to go in that direction with their
26235s	setups no they're going to play Dive
26238s	that's what they're going to do they're
26239s	going to play either it's going to be
26241s	Winston based it's going to be doomfist
26243s	based you're going to have Shai play
26245s	sojourn and then you're going to have
26247s	leave end up playing like echo echo
26251s	Genji right maybe some tracers so so
26253s	you're going to see from Team from China
26255s	in the mix this is what I expected to
26257s	see from KSA U on the Sim this is going
26261s	to be able to get them moving around the
26262s	map right no speed so it's going to give
26264s	them a little bit more Mobility a lot
26266s	like how uh know we've seen from you
26268s	know hottie and the Spitfire right
26270s	moving around the map with that Sim we
26271s	like a bit of movement yep
26274s	uh let's see where they
26277s	decid no no no are you serious maybe
26281s	just a shot
26282s	here it's the Reinhard n it's just you
26289s	guys six years and I still fall for a CH
26292s	on me I guess
26294s	Hanzo Hanzo Genji with a Winston here so
26298s	H Flex it a little bit here
26301s	doing some different
26304s	stuff that's true I just I don't know
26306s	what to expect from your analysis of
26308s	this comp I mean I mean we have not seen
26311s	the play Hanzo the entire tournament
26314s	right uh that's a shout out to my boy
26315s	jinmu uh Hanzo can like access The High
26318s	Ground a bit easier than like the uh soj
26321s	kit right oh okay that's all gone now a
26325s	little a little bit more burst damage
26326s	for the shield right there we go yeah
26329s	stuff like that now you can get excited
26331s	crowd again taking healing pilot
26333s	immortality F down and this just without
26335s	the team from China really having to
26336s	take any risks shy on the Hanzo what a
26340s	scary prospect that has been my goodness
26342s	chalk up another one for the
26345s	Bowman it's definitely a bit of a
26347s	surprise I think for KSA
26349s	because okay dude oh course you better
26354s	get up early if you want to get the
26355s	better of this guy sh is so good
26359s	man so they're going to actually play
26361s	the Bastion into this but I I think this
26363s	is probably why right you can access
26365s	this High Ground a bit easier long
26367s	longer sight lines on blizzard world uh
26370s	so like sojourn I think is like really
26372s	effective like you know much shorter to
26374s	medium right you can't beat that
26376s	mobility and shield pressure either but
26379s	yeah all right spotted out here Mar
26383s	better watch out the the Hanzo can also
26386s	just get rid of the Sim teleporter
26388s	really fast right storm marrow like it's
26390s	gone instantly
26391s	almost shy here has an
26394s	angle you be trying to set some turrets
26396s	up to make it half for try to push out
26398s	but he's happy right here how
26401s	appropriate that he sat on the siege
26402s	tank that's the role he's feeling right
26404s	now J low doesn't care here the dragon
26407s	strike aan going to go missing but oh
26409s	left gets caught off The High Ground
26411s	that was where he set up and out Matrix
26413s	mat no CH are standing there now Mar
26416s	going come in at least finish off shy
26418s	captive someing the killer monk as well
26420s	but hey they deflect available for Le
26422s	that's frightening he's kept toed up the
26424s	whole way through yeah lensa keeps him
26426s	alive as that's a few ultimate thrown in
26429s	there for Saudi Arabia that's an ant
26431s	Matrix Inc captive Sun Sports now will
26434s	go back to the sojourn here Primal
26437s	forwe blade though no support
26441s	all I mean against this c n blade could
26444s	be devast like TP out that's kind of
26446s	like what you have to do here it goes oh
26449s	leave the sideline wasn't there for monk
26452s	characteristic mistake now Saudi Arabia
26455s	can take advantage of this no geni two
26460s	ultimates G for
26462s	nothing that's disastrous that is a
26465s	massive turn of events there for KSA as
26469s	they're able to just withstand that
26471s	nanoade that comes through it's just
26472s	leave gets really low now for picks up a
26475s	kill this is
26477s	huge gu might be able to escape here but
26480s	tell you what
26481s	more insult and injury after losing
26483s	leave in
26484s	Mano and this is what I thought would
26486s	make a difference when we were in the
26487s	back and you know we were kind of
26488s	waiting for this series to kick off is
26490s	the allari does so much damage from the
26494s	support role right that if you were
26496s	going to like try and know burst down a
26497s	doom or a Winston or something having
26500s	that in the backline like you're not
26502s	really going to survive a nanoade no
26503s	matter what right like if you have a
26505s	rally or anything right like so you may
26507s	as well try and play full offensive enem
26510s	de
26512s	quartz there annoying position to play
26514s	from Shy might have to invest a bit more
26516s	to get rid of him it's maret though from
26517s	long range and hello leave once more
26520s	taken down early that's not what you
26523s	want to see if you're the team from
26524s	China you need leave to be having that
26527s	impact oh nice eat of the bionade there
26530s	KSA and I wonder if you consider going
26532s	to the doomfist here who Doom has just a
26536s	little bit more survivability than the
26537s	Winston uh it's just that the you have
26540s	Primal at this point right so like you
26542s	probably don't want to have that go for
26543s	nothing but this is like two three
26546s	fights in a row for Saudi Arabia and now
26548s	you're starting to whle down this PL
26550s	think you're too easily interruptable by
26552s	a CR in power blockers doomfist to feel
26554s	super comfortable here H but I mean gu
26557s	has been able to dodge it it feels like
26559s	every single time but it's not the first
26560s	time the team from CH have avoided
26561s	trying to play doomfist in the sigma
26563s	setup
26564s	right don't think they feel comfortable
26566s	there going aggressive here's a first of
26569s	the out variety now the low ground Le is
26571s	going to get caught by that captive sub
26572s	Mar now maybe dangling himself too long
26575s	in front of the team from China but
26576s	cours is found shy what a Pick Off look
26579s	at this positioning and we've seen Sur
26580s	do that a few times when he uses the
26582s	captive sun he gets in the air and he
26584s	throws the pylon for himself up in the
26587s	sky really interesting tech there ma
26590s	getting brought down again quartz
26593s	uncontested from this spot shy now might
26595s	try and fix that but it's going to be a
26597s	close one quart twins it out and gue is
26600s	in deep deep
26602s	trouble and this is what you start to
26605s	think of when you think of the sigma
26606s	comps against D this is what you think
26609s	you know with uh you know probably
26610s	coming into it for KSA what you thought
26612s	this would look like a team from China
26614s	has a nano Blade Set up here nothing for
26618s	KSA to combat that in terms of like big
26620s	support ultimate but you have this Sim
26622s	TP you move around right you can try and
26624s	Dodge
26625s	it try again looking for quartz got to
26629s	be careful using those exo boots against
26632s	this long range damage but isn't
26634s	punished oh shy he's running that's a
26637s	damage coming in hit the blade again Le
26640s	going to try for it this time U gets
26642s	flattened the dragon strike here maybe
26643s	more to confiscate the axis of attack
26646s	for leave Lord still able to find a kill
26650s	guy turning irons into gold it's going
26653s	to be tough to answer this both sham
26655s	Brothers Le loose their
26657s	ultimates no CH to hanging on there for
26659s	10 seconds left here Saudi Arabia have
26662s	done a bang up job of Defending can they
26663s	finish the job yeah they're going to get
26665s	probably one more fight here you're
26666s	going to have to probably get a TP out
26668s	to get a touch suret trying to put down
26671s	some damage as we head in OT get that TP
26674s	not too far forward y wants to try and
26676s	touch the cut La is going to be there
26677s	with the imortality FI but that's going
26678s	to be removed pretty much straight away
26681s	chai Force back herez in position now in
26683s	that assault configuration pretty scary
26685s	stuff but China hanging on here for
26688s	wants to try and pressure down but shy
26690s	WI out with the storm Arrow lsen now
26691s	Under Pressure but KSA here with a
26693s	biotic grenade is in deep danger they
26695s	charge ahead of the
26697s	shield the team from China dude they
26699s	almost pull that I mean they had that
26701s	Bastion set up on The High Ground that
26702s	is so deadly against that Winston and
26705s	you know KSA and a few other players get
26707s	hit with a biotic grenade another one
26709s	from Monk on the day I mean he's at 98%
26712s	towards a blux you probably consider
26714s	using it there if he's not
26715s	hit this dro the shuttle Force shy down
26718s	for now still with the Hanzo
26724s	got to damage there on KSA another
26726s	Dragon strike here you definitely can
26728s	catch people out from this position send
26730s	it through the
26731s	corner dou away with the Primal now as
26733s	well we know what that sound means there
26735s	a captive Sun L hit by Mar trying to get
26737s	an angle over the top of the shield but
26738s	he won't find it he a gratic flux though
26740s	L gets taken down eventually thei has
26743s	her fill healing Pyon is down me gets
26746s	through that immortality field as well
26747s	and he's looking at U but he's so far
26749s	away and the turet him up he has to go
26751s	for the Primal range here kill secured
26753s	he says now one with the job elsewhere
26756s	quart was able to get rid of shy there's
26757s	an issue in KSA on that cut but m is the
26760s	focus and gu turns him into a
26763s	pancake getting close in a few of these
26766s	space but not able to take it is the
26768s	team from China will continue to move
26770s	the payload no ultimates to work with
26773s	amp Matrix here available for LDA so
26775s	maybe you're able to get a hold before a
26778s	map
26779s	completion tentatively Saudi Arabia
26782s	start to set themselves up for this last
26784s	fight and Matrix here for a pretty
26786s	pretty safe position to set this one up
26788s	from an immediately the team from trying
26789s	to have to duck their heads as aetra bar
26791s	as well is going to make it very hard to
26792s	stand on the card it's such a lopsided
26794s	scenario The High Ground owned by Saudi
26797s	Arabia for the time being here gu though
26799s	still healthy he jumps up can't be in
26801s	control for the time being's going to go
26803s	with the Dragon Blade it's going to be
26804s	you falling down first and found KSA the
26806s	sigma's gone the pressure is on for laa
26809s	he stays off Le who now has to go to the
26811s	card cour finds to kill in mid a not
26814s	enough players from Saudi Arabia to stop
26816s	that
26820s	card the team from Chenille get a map
26823s	completion no time left in the time bang
26827s	so considering how things started off
26829s	actually pretty good defense towards the
26831s	end there from KSA it's just how are
26833s	they going to go on offense you know
26835s	that they're going to have to uh know
26837s	make plays as you know the team from
26839s	China is is getting aggressive right
26841s	onto them it seems like sometimes they
26843s	had some difficulty kind of doing that
26845s	on Sam could almost allowed that first
26847s	fight lost there for Saudi Arabia on
26850s	virtue of just not expecting the Hanzo
26852s	there that is extremely out of left
26854s	field but once they able to adapt and
26856s	adjust the second phase of the map this
26859s	part of the map Saudi Arabia with
26860s	incredibly staunch defense to bleed a
26863s	heck of a lot of time off that clock and
26866s	they run the Hanzo the entire time right
26868s	access that High Ground time and time
26870s	again how did you like it in the later
26872s	part of the round I I I think it's fine
26875s	I think it's just like a more long range
26877s	option let's see this
26880s	here this is a bio grenade
26884s	right I mean that's huge cuz that bio
26887s	grenade doesn't hit right you have mid
26890s	there able to heal up KSA that's like a
26893s	lot of burst healing from the you have
26894s	the pylon maybe you end up using the
26896s	flux there huge nade from Monk
26902s	3 still the Hanzo for the team from
26906s	China dou way there to meet them at the
26908s	door only briefly now to reposition to
26911s	play from behind the
26912s	statue s would love to try and play from
26915s	that High Ground platform but it's going
26916s	to be a little bit tough to take with
26918s	Linka and monks set up there they'll
26920s	actually opt to give it up though shy
26922s	has a decent little side angle to play
26924s	from look at him space back yeah I mean
26927s	you see how fast they can get rid of the
26928s	sigma Shield there
26931s	with that Hano it just slows up the push
26933s	I like the TP to The High Ground Q fs
26936s	and commitment into the backline forcing
26938s	shy to play inside slack Ras again this
26939s	one V one playing itself out again this
26941s	time Shai comes out on top ah both
26945s	players just not afraid to take that one
26947s	V one as that time will be shy that
26950s	comes out on top monk gets a kill at
26952s	range but you're going to have suret
26953s	take out lead so maybe you can just kind
26955s	of hold here for KSA hang on J gets
26959s	another head shot on
26961s	a here got Mar looking for more damage
26964s	on monk forces him off that sight line
26966s	too it's just a br and the so playing
26969s	for that high ground this is about to
26970s	get quite dangerous here for the team
26972s	from
26972s	China or rather it's the Hanzo of Shai H
26976s	the TP till they go through it just UB
26978s	for
26980s	now it won't Force the team from China
26982s	away entirely they're going to have a
26983s	chance to contest this look at the wrap
26984s	around from Shai he's trying to flank
26986s	now going to jump into the final
26987s	immortality field won't stop him for
26989s	long he's looking for the but the damage
26990s	is so insane and the mega health pack
26993s	picked up there for UB this is taking
26995s	Goose too long to get this kill it gets
26997s	up gives up half of his heal p a killer
26999s	laor is absolutely essential quartz
27001s	don't know what happened there Marin
27003s	able to C time to the low ground but has
27004s	to spend most of the follow-up time
27006s	healing KSA back up Manet is down leaves
27009s	able to find him and it's just KSA left
27012s	that fight loss it's going to leave a
27015s	mark oh man when you occupy gue for that
27020s	that long it feels like you got to win
27022s	the fight on the other side he goes and
27023s	gets both supports anyway I know two
27026s	players I would love to know what
27029s	happened with quartz there cuz he's a
27030s	huge damage dealer for KSA and somehow
27034s	know ends up falling off or something
27036s	happens and mean that's a lot of damage
27039s	that you would have L to
27040s	have okay here comes that
27043s	teleporter wall throwing up dragon
27045s	strike from shy from an odd angles hard
27047s	to know where that's going to come from
27050s	Arabia forced to play away from that
27051s	immortality field but there's no follow
27052s	up from the team from China it's Mar on
27054s	leave what a big kill what a way to open
27057s	this fight up too U picked off by shy
27059s	KSA though looking for the Winston
27061s	constantly trying to disrupt but it's
27062s	left from behind Shield up now pressure
27064s	on mle just get around the corner as the
27066s	accretion comes in and quartz makes up
27068s	for the blueprint in the last fight
27070s	dealing the dead blow to GLE and giving
27073s	the first checkpoint to Saudi Arabia you
27075s	really do see how effective the allari
27077s	is though against these types of comps
27079s	right I mean a few times we've already
27080s	seen Marette able to take out leave you
27083s	know get a kill on a gue early on just
27085s	on this offensive side let alone you
27086s	know when the KSA was on defense so I I
27089s	think this is the right kind of
27091s	Direction they're going in right uh 3
27093s	minutes plus here on the clock no way to
27096s	access High Ground is going to be tough
27097s	for KSA it's really hard to keep up your
27099s	healing obligations asari while doing
27101s	this much damage what we don't see is a
27103s	constant repositioning of those healing
27105s	pylons when they're available but you
27106s	wanted a blade who'll come back with a
27108s	rock in the mouth
27110s	and still able to get two kills yub is
27113s	threatening Le can't challenge that line
27115s	right now L though was able to find
27117s	quartz and Le will do some
27120s	housekeeping they get a Fight Win here
27122s	at the choke a bio grenade just slows
27124s	them up yet a little bit again how does
27126s	le get away with being a without Nano
27128s	boost and they let him live it looks
27129s	like they either have monk or L directly
27131s	behind him just pocketing him the entire
27133s	time yeah maybe not LLY but was just
27135s	monk pumping those heals look you have
27138s	the soj in the alarm on an off angle
27141s	this is so much burst damage you have no
27142s	idea it's coming and look at that
27143s	they're able to get a pick all these
27145s	hits cam projectiles very very hard for
27147s	Deni to deal
27148s	with here's gu M though has eyes
27152s	for that High Ground position Punk got
27155s	to be hit here oh ma can't quite get
27157s	purchased one more will do it though and
27158s	there's the detonation of the debuff shy
27161s	in the meantime though found LA that's a
27163s	big kill healing pil Throw Down by
27165s	margin he's trying to hang around the
27167s	Outburst though just prongs the
27168s	inevitable in court I didn't realize
27170s	he's just slid in enemy territory as
27172s	goway Gobles him up yes uh you were
27175s	hoping that Outburst from the allari
27176s	would have like put you up on The High
27178s	Ground of the bridge but it looks like
27179s	he just knocked his head right
27180s	underneath that did not end up on The
27182s	High Ground so about a half the time as
27185s	uh KSA had here to get this second
27187s	checkpoint you've got about halfway
27189s	through to checkpoint B they're building
27191s	up a huge Bank of ultimates though M
27193s	yeah they do have that going for them
27195s	not getting high ground though with this
27197s	amp Matrix like I don't know what you're
27198s	doing with it right you can just run
27199s	away away that healing Pyon Down lead
27201s	can go in I like the timing here KSA
27203s	supposed to go for kinetic grass but
27205s	ub's already been picked off it's got to
27206s	be quartz to try and rescue them and so
27208s	he has Monk and gu oh he gets somebody
27211s	yeah Linka inside that flux no chance to
27214s	follow up in the though but Linka is low
27215s	he's unlikely to use a rally for just
27217s	himself it makes no sense and eventually
27219s	shy is brought down quartz has three
27221s	final blows in that fight this guy this
27224s	guy is unreal yeah I mean it feels like
27226s	every Fight Win is just C since suret
27230s	able to get oh okay here we go it's a
27232s	rally that'll scare you it's the wide
27234s	brick coming at you turns out there's B
27237s	and B from lsta there whose nickname I
27240s	can't mention on air but it definitely
27241s	speaks to his of the Widowmaker
27246s	here maybe just really wants to punish
27248s	mared for hanging out in the
27250s	air dangling himself with those
27253s	outbursts captive Suns as well I like
27255s	the TP though all shy didn't expect the
27258s	te party can't really get rid of it as
27260s	fast as he can with Hanzo too easy to
27261s	dive that Widow LED down though gu at
27264s	least on the counter dive finds one but
27265s	look how close the card is 26 seconds
27267s	left we in a four versus four but losing
27269s	lavda is absolutely devastating here is
27271s	a blade from leave who does he find
27273s	Captain son will catch him he drops to
27275s	the ground he's vulnerable he's looking
27277s	for KSA though and it gets two somehow
27279s	lead prevails again and again coming up
27283s	with the goods and now quarts needs a
27285s	nice big old rail to settle the score
27287s	but it's not to be a shurikens the foot
27290s	down Saudi Arabia aren't going
27295s	anywhere that puts the team from China
27299s	One map away from winning the OverWatch
27303s	World
27304s	Cup they they are doing it with all
27307s	different types of styles and comps now
27309s	right the Widowmaker switch at the end
27311s	Hanzo play I mean shy just showing us
27315s	everything
27317s	here one step away way from making
27322s	history going back to 2016 2017 no one
27325s	really took that region seriously they
27329s	said they're behind they're got a slow
27330s	read on the meta they're playing old
27332s	school but as the years passed by the
27335s	team from China and their
27337s	countrymen began to come to the
27339s	Forefront and have a look at this again
27341s	it supports we're here to glorify cuz
27343s	this little two piece between Monk and
27345s	lensa I mean this one lives in my head
27347s	rentree yeah I mean look uh today
27349s	specifically right uh know a lot of talk
27352s	about shy leave how good they've been
27354s	really the support line for uh Team
27357s	China has really stepped up in a massive
27360s	way I mean monk has hit some huge biotic
27363s	grenades LSA you know with the timed
27366s	rallies always in the right spot to help
27368s	out feels like they've uh you know they
27371s	they know what was in front of them
27372s	coming into the day and they probably
27374s	felt like hey you know we win that
27375s	semi-final we feel really good going
27377s	into the rest of the day and they've
27379s	come being extremely focused and I think
27381s	if there's any map that's going to
27382s	showcase the strengths of not only the
27384s	sigma composition but also Saudi Arabia
27387s	it's this one it's blizzard world I
27389s	think that's where it's going to be
27390s	hardest to sort of fight against their
27392s	composition but trying to get it done
27394s	the oldfashioned way right they play
27396s	their conf style they move gu over
27398s	towards the Winston leave on the Genji
27400s	and they get a win and if you're Saudi
27402s	Arabia that should make you nervous now
27404s	what's the answer what do we have in
27406s	reserve what do we have left I mean
27408s	you're piging obviously between surasa
27412s	or new junk City we've seen a lot of the
27414s	sigma based teams go for new junk City
27417s	recently uh but I mean that's probably
27420s	where I think they'll end up going in
27422s	the end take a moment catch your breath
27424s	if you're hear in the venue soak it in
27427s	and is the team from China on the
27429s	precipice of making history at the
27431s	OverWatch World Cup so don't go
27438s	anywhere
27466s	[Music]
27508s	[Music]
27521s	[Music]
27528s	he
27558s	he
27585s	[Music]
27595s	[Music]
27607s	[Music]
27622s	you know they say not all that Glitters
27623s	Is Gold but to the team from China I
27626s	don't think it matters what that trophy
27627s	is made of they're hungry for it and
27630s	they are one map away from hoisting it
27633s	and claiming the gold medal here at the
27635s	OverWatch World Cup standing in their
27638s	way this young team of upstarts man
27640s	looking for answers as Saudi Arabia fall
27643s	zero maps to two yes they will have Haku
27646s	come back in this tells you we are going
27648s	to see Lucio play going in a flash point
27651s	that is to be expected the maps are so
27654s	big you need to have that speed to get
27656s	around the
27658s	point uh you know really the it's it's
27660s	so interesting thinking back
27662s	historically right with you know these
27664s	two teams like you kind of mentioned it
27666s	a little bit you know when we first
27668s	started OverWatch in general right like
27671s	you know Chinese OverWatch always had
27672s	their own like odd take on the game and
27674s	it was like oh are they ever going to
27676s	catch up spoil alert they have and like
27679s	we talked about with KSA 2019 11 through
27682s	20th in the OverWatch World Cup prelims
27686s	to to to advance in terms of like having
27689s	a team come together with this type of
27691s	skill from out of nowhere from out out
27693s	of nowhere young Talent it's it's
27695s	extremely impressive on both sides to
27697s	see how the the Chinese OverWatch
27699s	Community has evolved over the years and
27701s	then also just kind of KSA coming out of
27703s	nowhere and really performing quite well
27706s	what's crazy about so many in these
27708s	Saudi Arabia plays is that they might
27710s	have been playing some top level
27711s	OverWatch but they weren't playing at
27712s	the top level of OverWatch this year
27715s	they were playing in contenders now on
27717s	what is literally the world stage
27719s	against world class opponents they're
27722s	looking to show us just a little bit
27723s	more and make this one
27727s	competitive so they'll have one more go
27730s	at making it competitive see how it goes
27733s	here on surasa so like I mentioned it'll
27737s	be the Lucio h coming in here for KSA
27740s	they're also going to be still running
27742s	that Sim with the Bastion so this is
27744s	more centralized around that Bastion the
27747s	team from China will ditch the Lucio
27749s	they haven't run it all tournament long
27751s	really on flash
27756s	point chy now back on that sojourn again
27760s	still the hinks of U to be keeping an
27762s	eye on cetra play here hard to keep tabs
27765s	on for the team from China they have to
27767s	be ready to adap
27769s	and pivot very quickly to an unexpected
27771s	angle of attack yeah KSA getting the
27774s	point first here as I think the team
27778s	from China just kind of circling right
27779s	trying to figure out how they want to
27781s	approach attacking this fastion you be
27784s	caught out there shy goes very low
27786s	though the Tactical grenade but slides
27788s	away before quartz can finish the job
27790s	shy oh my
27792s	goodness just peeking that corner time
27794s	and time again rail guns clanging into
27797s	the bodies of his foes ks in and can
27801s	body block any sort of you know healing
27803s	there from Mar he's right in the way
27806s	very quickly and with the way he punches
27807s	him into the corner right it blocks some
27809s	of that line of say like J has a
27812s	difficult time trying to see him even
27813s	though C Jed actually ends up taking out
27815s	Le for which is a huge kill doesn't
27818s	matter not able to keep the tank
27820s	up Shy there almost taking out s
27824s	instantly that rail gun here comes the
27827s	turrets getting set up you can hear them
27828s	now is he'll have a teleporter this
27830s	flank though this audacious flank from
27833s	Shai the teleporter got taken down by
27835s	the disruptor shot and it gets
27836s	immortality fi out so you're totally
27839s	okay with that if you're the team from
27840s	China try starting to feel it a little
27842s	bit more SI slam on The High Ground but
27844s	the incre was well placed by KSA still
27846s	goose is nano boosted Shai here in a
27849s	safe spot and quart forc the drop down
27851s	he's not ready for this angle shy
27853s	hitting you where it hurts there's The
27855s	Dashing there from Le and UB got taken
27857s	down by the tick of the disruptor shot
27858s	after the Genji hit him the team from
27861s	China looking to take this first flash
27864s	point away yes KSA did the tough job
27867s	right Landing that cre on the gley it is
27870s	pretty difficult to do he's so crafty
27872s	with you know seismic slam then punching
27873s	in midair changing directions able to
27876s	land the accretion but he has the
27877s	benefits of the Nano boost doesn't
27879s	matter they actually go into the spawn
27881s	one of the first times we've seen that I
27883s	use the swap spawn feature that was
27885s	added a few patches ago now actually
27887s	probably a few season ago where you
27889s	actually now will get that spawn for
27891s	that next checkpoint so actually close
27892s	the gap a little bit Yeah plus the
27894s	symmetra means you can actually get to
27895s	the point first here Lether goes ahead
27897s	of the rest of his team by a b of time
27900s	there's the defle want to punch
27902s	hu got to be careful Here Comes The
27905s	Barrage now from quartz it's UB though
27907s	picking off
27908s	shy Now setting up on the point here you
27911s	make this very hard to break if your
27912s	Saudi Arabia you be under pressure with
27914s	the sound bar is well tied from Haku
27916s	with links
27917s	up Falls in a Hal of bullets from quarts
27920s	both supports going down to the Bastion
27923s	perance so you just bait leave in to try
27926s	and make a play for the Sim there's just
27930s	a whole turret setup there from muus uh
27933s	so we saw Shai do this a little bit
27934s	earlier in the tournament go over to the
27936s	soldier 76 so a little bit more
27939s	consistent damage uh obviously more
27941s	Mobility like the so can like you know
27943s	get somewhere fast right with that Dash
27946s	and the jump but Soldier can position
27949s	pretty
27950s	easily a sticky spot though it's going
27953s	to be hard to get shy out of that
27954s	position no one can really afford to go
27956s	on challenge him
27957s	directly gravic flux for the doomfist
27960s	Apparently L are again falling to the
27962s	Bastion at the start of the fight and
27964s	monk for free for
27967s	KSA this is going to be tough for the
27969s	team from China to come back into this
27971s	point yeah some of these like points on
27974s	this map specifically are so close
27976s	together in nature terms of like the
27979s	fighting range right going into this
27980s	point here you're going to get tagged up
27982s	by all those Sim turrets you don't have
27984s	like a Winston just kind of cleave them
27986s	down judging by that mini map it looks
27988s	like the team from Tren going to give up
27990s	on this one it'll be KSA taking the
27992s	second flash
27993s	point no need to feed over any extra Al
27995s	charge if it's a fight that might not be
27998s	worth
27999s	winning again the symmetra being used to
28002s	translate Saudi Arabia across the map
28004s	much faster than otherwise CH maybe not
28006s	expecting to see the main F leg the S
28010s	players now an interesting point to play
28012s	from here leave has decent High Ground
28014s	to play off of but the GP can get you
28016s	there as a unit to Saudi Arabia move up
28018s	to the balcony yeah and they get oh they
28021s	get that a matrix set up and what is gu
28023s	supposed to do right I mean there is no
28026s	position he can move to
28028s	is oh look at this the grenade boost oh
28032s	nice sleep there from mon yeah there's
28034s	not much you can do about it though all
28036s	of Saudi Arabia here way charging out
28039s	for Rocket punch but we knew we knew he
28041s	was getting
28042s	out sim TP to get Quartz out of Harm's
28046s	Way as another good start here from KSA
28050s	getting control of this flash point
28052s	quartz will have that artillery stength
28054s	see really aiming there for the supports
28056s	no Mobility from the supports in the
28057s	team from China sh's on a flank again
28059s	but this time with the attack visor this
28061s	has a lot now this really weighs on
28063s	where KSA is playing from and if that
28065s	connetic grass can buy enough time to
28066s	answer the soldier oh my oh he got
28070s	him well chalk that one up another win
28075s	for Saudi Arabia before first contacts
28077s	really
28078s	established s there's nothing you can do
28080s	with your monk there right perfect
28082s	timing from quartz drops the first two
28084s	sees where he's moving no way you're
28086s	going to dodge that last one with the
28087s	way it was set up four ultimates now for
28089s	the team from China sound barri you're
28091s	here for Haku though this could be
28094s	huge can you get tactical visor value
28096s	for me that's the value proposition for
28098s	the soldier here okay's able to get the
28100s	beat off just as lead comes in with the
28102s	blade Shai holding on to that ultimate
28103s	for the time being they keep an eye on
28105s	that if they can get rid of KSA there's
28107s	a chance for the soldier to strike goal
28108s	simall is so huge L is already down as
28110s	well but Leaf sees a couple low Health
28112s	supports he dashes through and again but
28114s	Haru Stands Tall but gu again with the
28117s	two kills desperately Mar trying to hide
28119s	behind the bulk of Courts but he can't
28121s	avoid the shots from Shai who did use
28123s	that tactical visor now doesn't have any
28125s	time to deploy a biotic field juie
28127s	brings him down with the turrets
28129s	acction avoided by
28131s	Monk oh watch out these are bad boys
28134s	looking to do bad things the backline of
28137s	the team from China takes the point for
28139s	themselves yeah you're going to have a
28140s	few players back in the fight here for
28142s	KSA it's going to be U and surma and
28144s	you're going to have an ant Matrix so
28145s	maybe they decide they want to try and
28147s	push this Advantage but they' kind of
28148s	lost it at this
28150s	point my goodness the two big one back
28154s	line oh man that's
28157s	plucky straight away here for Mar most
28159s	of the team from China though playing
28161s	out of this line of sight d r don't care
28163s	they just want the point here to win the
28164s	flash point itself sh h l and KSA
28167s	finishes him off with the help of U the
28168s	hyperspheres do their job ler trying to
28171s	dodge around the point but there are
28172s	enemies on every side for the team from
28174s	China and yet leave is still doing his
28176s	best work KSA is low Le though getting
28178s	toed up through all of this now a
28180s	deflect to buy some more time but L is
28181s	left on his own who's going to help the
28183s	bring Marin even drops to the low ground
28185s	here and eventually Haru drives another
28187s	one down this point belongs to the
28189s	Kingdom of Saudi
28191s	Arabia so they will go to flash point
28195s	point as they take the second one as you
28198s	know what I really love is like they put
28200s	down that TP right and then it's
28203s	starting to mess with a little bit like
28205s	uh that time quartz didn't go through
28207s	the TP he played it from the other side
28209s	then sometimes he'll go through they'll
28211s	use the ant Matrix like you just never
28213s	know where that Bastion damage is coming
28215s	from really interesting stuff here
28217s	sometimes sometimes we B it sometimes we
28219s	all go try try to leave out from that
28222s	High Ground the TP from Saudi Arabia
28225s	postering threateningly towards the top
28226s	of the stairwell Bam Bam Bam quart
28229s	throws three down team from China though
28231s	avoid it there backline unscathed for
28233s	now and they're going to have to be oh
28234s	no leave again he would have been the
28236s	target of the nanab Boost there from
28237s	monk but now the team for China to have
28239s	to run again LX is going to get
28240s	flattened here there's no Escape yeah
28243s	you can't really get rid of that they
28245s	don't have a disengage right typically
28246s	you're disengaged and
28248s	you know toward the second half of like
28250s	our Pro season started to become some
28251s	symmetra stuff for some teams but they
28254s	don't have a Lucio either does the team
28256s	from China so there's no way to get away
28258s	from that stuff another four Fight King
28260s	for trying to lost the last one oh they
28262s	see shy they TP right on top of him CAU
28264s	him again the punish the flank the wide
28265s	flank from the soldier 76 and losing m
28268s	is still going to go for the blade are
28269s	you kidding leave a little unhinged here
28272s	looking to try and Salvage the stuff for
28274s	this team he finds one ju goes down but
28277s	there's no brck
28279s	now is there a monk to help him nobody
28282s	to help
28283s	him and this is how I think a lot of
28286s	people thought you would see some of
28288s	these Sigma versus dive compositions go
28291s	as they get right behind that Sim they
28294s	see shy out they're so fast at tping and
28297s	collapsing on top of him 80% in counting
28300s	this is the team from China's last
28302s	chance to take the map I got to say
28303s	haku's been really good with his sound
28305s	barriers throughout this map as well
28306s	every time leave has had that bed
28308s	there's been an answer could be shut
28310s	down by a CET wall here's going to throw
28312s	it gu now with the power block into the
28314s	meteor strike KSA though has that
28316s	gravitic flux is that leave inside of it
28318s	that doesn't
28320s	matter the Plucky up starts to take you
28323s	the map off the team from
28325s	China the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
28329s	breathes
28330s	still as they really started to get
28333s	things rolling I I think it's having
28334s	that like extra speed and then also the
28336s	nature of flash point like players want
28338s	to flank more I think it gives him an
28340s	opportunity of okay we see shine we TP
28343s	we speed right he can't get away I think
28346s	they really caught them off guard I
28347s	started to think you you saw the Kingdom
28350s	of Saudi Arabia really start to you know
28352s	put the pieces together to stop some of
28354s	these di yeah they really figured out
28356s	how to exploit that wide flank that Shai
28359s	was trying to go on frankly flash point
28362s	isn't the game mode that really allows
28364s	Shai to have that great degree of skill
28366s	expression the symmetra play something
28369s	we've SE seen showcased all year long
28372s	it's something that you can't really
28373s	replicate with any other composition the
28375s	team from China Force Conant to be on
28377s	their toes are they coming through and
28379s	if so from which angle and you mentioned
28381s	like oh they have the Tactical Bier it's
28382s	like you have that Sim wall that you can
28384s	play around and then the turrets on the
28386s	other side of it Sigma plus the Bastion
28389s	right like there's no value for the 76
28391s	to be had a sigh of relief here surely
28395s	for Saudi Arabia as they get to take a
28397s	brief half time break I mean this is
28399s	There's No Escape there you actually
28400s	can't I don't even know if you can jump
28402s	up on that quartz it doesn't matter if
28405s	it's on some fashy hit scan if it's on
28406s	the Bastion this guy is a true Talent
28409s	yeah great tournament from wor just
28411s	overall we are talking about like some
28413s	of the most stored players in the
28415s	history of OverWatch yeah you're you're
28418s	not going through uh you know players
28420s	that have been playing in prelims these
28421s	are players who've been playing at the
28423s	top level of OverWatch for years now and
28426s	not only are you holding your I mean you
28428s	see like you know Samoa right it's a 2
28430s	but there was like a really competitive
28432s	round there they win a map and now you
28434s	go to push I mean push is like anybody's
28437s	game espira for our fourth map the team
28440s	from China making that selection and
28442s	hope to close out the series or will
28444s	there be more Saudi Arabia hope to take
28447s	it all the way to five so don't go
28450s	anywhere the finals of your OverWatch
28452s	2023 World Cup are getting to the
28454s	business
28456s	end
28458s	[Music]
28478s	[Music]
28486s	go
28489s	[Music]
28511s	[Music]
28554s	[Music]
28576s	[Music]
28609s	[Music]
28640s	the challenge was issued by the team
28643s	from China Saudi Arabia come and see if
28646s	you can put a scratch on us well that
28649s	was more than just a scratch bit of a
28652s	knockdown punch in the second round that
28654s	third map going the way of Saudi Arabia
28657s	they're in this not only are they in
28659s	this now they're looking to force it to
28660s	five yeah and I think you keep rolling
28663s	out there with Sim Bastion in the Lucio
28667s	right it gives you a little bit of extra
28668s	Mobility like maybe with just the you
28671s	know the arari and this G like you
28673s	didn't have that extra level of like
28675s	maneuver ability to escape and with that
28679s	speed in the mix you do you also have a
28681s	huge supportal right to kind of live
28683s	through you know maybe some of the extra
28685s	damage that comes on
28687s	through yeah you really mentioned that
28689s	that lack of Mobility hurting the team
28691s	from China when things could disengage
28693s	losing this map for the team from China
28697s	they would be a lot of panic I think
28698s	that would start to set in uh because
28702s	you assume that if you lose this nap
28704s	there there is a lot right going on
28707s	there for
28710s	KSA they say when your time is up it's
28712s	the kids that tell you this young Squad
28715s	from the Saudi Arabian region would love
28719s	to Hoist the flag and take their place
28722s	here and again couple more mats required
28725s	for that year he's for being picked here
28728s	by the team from China definitely feels
28729s	like it favors them right we're going to
28730s	be talking a lot I think about The High
28733s	Ground Control between these two perhaps
28735s	we
28736s	also have that Tracer play that was
28738s	something that we sort of noted in that
28740s	South Korea team through China game the
28741s	Tracer duels were very important yeah
28743s	and typically we would talk about here
28745s	like there is no High Ground access for
28747s	a team that is going to play Sigma but
28750s	with symmetra in the mix it takes all of
28752s	that out right not only do you have the
28754s	ability to access High ground it's full
28756s	team access to The High Ground right so
28759s	not only can you get Sigma up there can
28761s	you get like you know maybe it's your
28762s	Bastion you can get everybody uh so
28764s	there's really no lack of Mobility for
28769s	KSA let's have a look at some of these
28771s	PS here the UL of getting like a rush
28774s	down comp i' be shocked I mean you could
28777s	play I mean you could play the Queen if
28778s	you were KSA right but I feel like the
28780s	sigma's been
28782s	workan this is still Championship point
28785s	for the team from
28788s	[Applause]
28790s	China and they look to come out of the
28791s	gates here now on it's
28794s	fansa it's Genji and Soldier once more
28797s	with that backline that we' used to
28799s	seeing Anna and
28802s	brick yeah and you know I think first
28805s	fight here is huge if you're KSA and you
28807s	can get control of the bot and start
28809s	moving the barrier and then having the
28811s	fights kind of uh know come to you and
28813s	then you can maneuver around them would
28815s	be massive looks like they're trying to
28817s	bait gue in there maybe into a little
28820s	bit of a a turret
28822s	chamber they need to find a way to force
28824s	M to part with that immortality
28826s	field they need to find a way to put
28828s	that much threat down without exposing
28830s	themselves to the damage of
28832s	quartz and then you have of course the
28834s	factor of the TP pivot plays that could
28836s	be made by Saudi Arabia we gets really
28839s	low ch's got to do this someone has to
28841s	go in
28842s	thre no rail still shy hanging around
28845s	quite some time no he's going to be
28846s	topped up easily
28848s	it doesn't worry and there it is the
28849s	bassine eventually strikes gu can no
28851s	longer buy time for the team from China
28853s	in this
28854s	setup leave the deflex can L get out of
28857s	that small
28858s	room a yeah both supports stuck here in
28861s	this small room is that'll be monk going
28865s	as KSA trying to get out with his life
28867s	but leaves still there it's a good pick
28869s	any other day but with the rest of team
28871s	for CH of struggling to stay afloat it
28873s	doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of
28875s	things their spot is headed under the to
28877s	pass yeah and you get gu coming up a
28879s	spawn again so able to get him two
28882s	fights in a row you are not going to
28885s	have KSA for a while though you're going
28886s	to have to go back get him off a spawn
28889s	here as haky will go back escort him you
28891s	actually have the TP so you're going to
28892s	be here a little bit closer but not a
28894s	ton of progress you can't exploit the
28896s	absence of KSA there it's just not
28898s	possible the TP gets him back too
28901s	quickly it's up to shy
28905s	again need a pressure on his high ground
28908s	see Le going up to apply some as well
28909s	but it's going to be an Matrix now and
28910s	it's a scary Quartz in assault
28912s	configuration will force a team from
28914s	China to group up inside a very small
28916s	Corridor and yet chai
28918s	emerges slapping M down with a head shot
28921s	no less takes some courage to peek into
28924s	that CL of setup and now it's going to
28925s	be a sound barrier for Saudi Arabia gu
28927s	low drops down Le not able to finish the
28930s	job with that n he never buil the blade
28932s	likely cuz he was deflecting much of
28933s	that time gu is gone sh get picked off
28937s	lazily sends a attack grenade to the low
28939s	ground this is going from bad to batter
28943s	oh and they want to throw the rally into
28944s	this so the team from China wants to
28946s	commit that's going to be Le's blade as
28948s	well is this a mistake Le doesn't have a
28950s	nano boost and gets brought down court
28951s	with yet another kill has to like four
28954s	in that fight two Tade kills as well
28957s	yeah the Nano that comes in from monk
28959s	that is a rally leave with a blade and
28962s	now you may end up giving up that first
28963s	checkpoint this is horrible for the team
28966s	from China
28968s	they comp is not working they chose this
28969s	map they have to have had a
28971s	plan but something's not clicking for
28974s	them yet that was a full round of
28975s	ultimates from the team for China with
28977s	limited result I'd be worried if I was
28980s	there oh mon and everybody takes so much
28983s	damage from that artillery and constant
28985s	AOE damage from these hyperspheres Le
28987s	shy can't get topped up enough and they
28988s	can't go on the aggressive sh Arabia
28991s	setting the pace here from start to
28992s	finish and there has been no answer from
28996s	the team from China and I was I was
28998s	talking about like you know winning that
28999s	first fight getting early control huge
29001s	here on
29003s	push I mean you know they they've done
29006s	so many ultimates in has the team from
29008s	China that and now you're stuck here I
29010s	mean Shai's overclock is as good is
29013s	anything right but you get nothing with
29015s	that you're in a lot of
29017s	trouble CH really holding on to that
29019s	overclock we've just not seen much
29021s	action from it he doesn't need it for
29023s	that kill though again it's so much and
29024s	he picks off first CS now going to try
29026s	and stand his ground and shy has to be
29028s	careful no healing in this proximity
29030s	those turrets could claim his life if
29031s	he's not careful meanwhile quarts
29034s	appears to have been slapped on that
29035s	High Ground the deflect gets the job
29036s	done finally the team from China show
29039s	Sparks of Life yeah good start though
29042s	from KSA is 65
29044s	M very far push off of just two fights
29048s	is they will come back in probably get a
29052s	uh you know fight here right under the
29054s	bridge they'll be able to take one so I
29057s	think uh the team from China about two
29058s	three fights away from taking a lead
29061s	straight away trying to say we need this
29062s	High Ground this poop is pretty scary
29064s	for us gu won't hang around for this
29067s	surely but look at him he's getting it
29068s	quite to face there's no opportunity to
29070s	get value out of the B SE when gue was
29072s	obscuring his entire field of vision hu
29074s	can't escape either it's shy that takes
29076s	him the task with a rail gut aan catches
29080s	leave I think it was aimed for someone
29082s	else but still gu is able to musle in on
29085s	that High Ground Saudi Arab now
29087s	regrouping you're going to get back in
29088s	this fight so fast so because U on the
29090s	Sim has a TP set up from Spawn so you're
29093s	going to be able to fight this rather
29094s	quickly KSA drops down ACC connects on
29097s	to gway who is going to keep him
29098s	standing now the TP across the Gap M's
29100s	going to go for a flanking air mrix and
29102s	monk is not ready for it the gravic flux
29104s	claims ler and there's no kers on the
29107s	table once more the team from China
29110s	devour yeah meteor strike at the end of
29113s	this I wonder if this is the team from
29115s	China seeing something maybe they're
29116s	going to going to switch right you play
29119s	Winston into this I don't know I think
29122s	you're going to continue to play that
29123s	Doom cuz the Bastion has such a high
29126s	damage
29127s	output got haku's got the blade uh the
29130s	uh beat again for the blade so you're
29131s	set up in a great spot to defend this
29133s	now are we witnessing the inflexibility
29135s	of the team from
29137s	China it may prove to be their undoing
29139s	if they can't find a way to find success
29141s	with this very setup yeah not the best
29144s	artillery we've seen quartz do some big
29146s	work with that but buy some space uh and
29150s	he has blade too I mean that is huge Co
29153s	wasn't even an insult configuration gu
29155s	feels the B of that ability I me we are
29157s	in a situation where they can get a map
29160s	completion I mean we are not the team
29162s	from China yeah we are not out of the
29165s	realm of possibility beat here to combat
29168s	the blade that's going to come through
29170s	you have the Sim wall as well they're
29173s	positioned pretty
29174s	well a early pick here on on like
29177s	somebody like leave or shy I mean things
29179s	start to fall apart leave has struggled
29181s	on this map M he has an opportunity for
29183s	a blade here but likely will wait for Mk
29184s	to try and get a nano Haku holds on to
29187s	this beat tracking that geni ultimate he
29189s	knows leave is looking to make the play
29191s	when the time comes he will be ready
29193s	what a turn around Shai gets rolled on
29196s	that flank had no support available to
29197s	him there he was really being audacious
29200s	lead goes for the Nano blade but there's
29201s	the sound barrier again Haku right on
29203s	time with that Lucio ultimate it's just
29205s	an immortality field that able to pick
29207s	up and that is not going to cut the
29208s	mustard now the fighting gets close and
29210s	personal C right back away but he's hit
29212s	by a b grenade as his KSA but he waits
29214s	it out he shrugs it off shy from The
29216s	High Ground good damage on MAR and able
29218s	to follow up and now attention turns
29220s	towards the sigma and again the team
29222s	from chying to bail themselves out but
29225s	look at that distance total I mean they
29227s	almost double their progress right they
29229s	are like 67 M getting up to
29231s	121 I mean this is uh now you have
29234s	complete control of the game under 3
29237s	minutes they're going to need to win
29239s	three four fights to be snipping an even
29242s	match is the team from China so if
29245s	you're KSA you can play pretty
29248s	patient the no
29251s	connection rally up here for the team
29254s	for
29255s	China again this is dangerous he can't
29257s	do this for long eventually the damage
29259s	gets too much so we have a rally the
29260s	team for try to try to go for it now be
29263s	me up he jumps out of that flux and here
29265s	comes Le go play no problem that's two
29268s	fights in a row for a team from China
29271s	they're going to need
29274s	more a full team wipe as we enter under
29278s	two minutes
29280s	left KSA looking to take this one all
29284s	the way to the distance for a game five
29287s	Victory here for the team from China
29288s	would rank amongst the biggest comebacks
29290s	with blackly seen on ESP
29292s	pansa and this is the first step
29295s	checkpoint achieved come here to get
29297s	Nano here available for monk no blade
29301s	they've also been saving that beat for
29303s	even use it on the bed that's huge of
29305s	the disruption think s Ria split
29307s	themselves up trying to get into the TP
29309s	two St is welcome the assault
29311s	configuration for cour means he is on a
29313s	hard timer his lead with the nanoade now
29316s	look at at KSA he's being topped up but
29318s	not enough the sound barrier doesn't
29319s	save him ultimately it's just a trade
29321s	though still standing monk can't get
29326s	away
29327s	and again Saudi Arabia turn the fight
29330s	around since haku's come in the game he
29333s	has been massive for Saudi Arabia that
29336s	time the beat even with like players up
29338s	on the high does a great job connecting
29339s	with just about everybody and then there
29341s	during the artillery does a great job
29343s	protecting quartz ends up even picking
29345s	up a
29346s	[Applause]
29348s	kill this is getting out of hand now
29351s	with 41 seconds left in the round Saudi
29354s	Arabia eyeing off that map and so far so
29358s	good M knock back for a time it's going
29360s	to be another meteor strike because
29361s	goway fears the damage of quartz drops
29364s	back in and is hit by an accretion
29365s	almost immediately able to jump back to
29367s	the rest of his team now 24 seconds left
29370s	a matrix available now for maret a few
29372s	players get low on the team from China
29374s	they cannot lose anybody at the moment
29377s	tr's playing aggressive but he's able to
29378s	find U on the flank this High Ground
29380s	position is an odd one but it pays off
29382s	shot after shot overclock connecting
29384s	monk finding two
29386s	and now this has to happen in
29391s	overtime so you've already gotten that
29393s	first checkpoint so not going to have a
29395s	Slowdown there no reason to change
29398s	anything if your KSA you know that they
29400s	have just about nothing on the other
29402s	side a rally potentially here for Linka
29404s	I think what you're looking for here is
29406s	like a TP amp Matrix play a lot like how
29408s	we saw in
29410s	suras 70 M now en counting gue
29413s	anticipating that dive to The High
29414s	Ground but the Wall's going to be a
29415s	problem he's so be trying to pressure
29417s	him down but it's going to be later to
29418s	save him there with the running but for
29420s	how long he gets a kill and he's still
29422s	alive they lose shy four versus four
29424s	though KSA stunn through the increasing
29426s	animation now forc back with a biotic
29428s	grenade what a punch Haku sent over the
29431s	fence mwe drops down he gets rid of KSA
29435s	and something here quz hasn't had a
29437s	chance to have an
29438s	impact and the team from China are
29440s	doggedly pursuing that distance total so
29444s	you're going to have another fight here
29446s	in your KSA you're going to have the
29448s	artillery you have to get this sound
29451s	barrier leave is going to have a blade
29453s	with an opportunity to close it
29457s	out one of the greatest comebacks in
29459s	espiri history in the making here gu
29462s	Dives in the turret tickling for a
29463s	moment again has the answer just what we
29466s	needed s here for Saudi Arabia and the
29469s	team from China a brought to their knees
29471s	two kills for GU and shy but there's no
29474s	way that's going to be enough and we
29475s	wouldn't have have it any other way than
29477s	a m five in a World Cup
29481s	final this one is got in
29486s	good as KSA they lose the first two they
29490s	bounce
29491s	back Haku got that beat off perfect for
29495s	bidic blocks into the artillery gives
29498s	you that player advantage that you
29501s	need they have found some answers here
29504s	that are working against the team for
29506s	China forget your story lines forget
29509s	your history forget your fairy tales
29513s	none of us know what happens on the
29514s	other side of this
29516s	map Saudi Arabia with a veritable come
29520s	from nowhere performance here through
29523s	the qualifiers through bliton have taken
29526s	niga the greatest World Cup roster in
29528s	the world to a fifth and final map in
29531s	the final yeah we'll take a look at some
29533s	of the highlights here from esper
29536s	as they did a great job winning that
29539s	first fight getting that huge lead you
29541s	don't have that huge lead you don't win
29543s	that map right pushes a game mode that
29545s	if you get that early Advantage it's so
29548s	difficult to come back and it put the
29550s	the team of China just in a really
29552s	difficult spot you have to win three
29554s	four fights in a row you have to invest
29556s	in every single fight and eventually you
29559s	have nothing to throw into
29561s	it it's a flank page from here on
29564s	out sh coming to this game yeah
29567s	underdogs underrated by many of us even
29569s	despite their strong performances not
29572s	dropping a map and getting to these
29573s	finals still very few expected them to
29576s	take the team to CH from China to task
29579s	like this but it's Immaculate Bastian
29582s	play the sigma compositions Haku hitting
29585s	every sound barrier where it mattered to
29587s	shut lead down time and time again the
29590s	team for China have the honor of the
29592s	last pick yeah no mistakes really at all
29594s	from hary in TR
29596s	tremendous impact on the last two maps
29600s	and now what do you do if you're the
29602s	team from China I mean you have your map
29604s	selection something right Route 66 oh
29608s	man we're headed there again excitement
29610s	has reached a fever Peach here in the
29613s	arena of bliton it's time to head down
29615s	to the floor to touch base with the one
29617s	and only Golden Boy thank you so much
29620s	fellas yes the energy is Electric in
29623s	here as we get ready we had not one not
29626s	two not three we had four full bo5
29631s	series today at the OverWatch World Cup
29634s	incredible isn't that right BlizzCon wow
29637s	but this is it it all comes down to this
29640s	who is going to hoist a trophy over
29641s	their head is it going to be the team
29643s	from China is it going to be the Kingdom
29644s	of Saudi Arabia let's hear from the
29646s	crowd who's it going to be is it going
29647s	to be the team from
29650s	China how about the Kingdom of Saudi
29653s	Arabia oh boy this match up is going to
29656s	be intense and no better casters to call
29660s	it than Uber and Mr
29663s	X the shift in momentum has been
29666s	palpable over the last half an hour or
29669s	so I mean the Saudi Arabian team they
29671s	walked out whilst predictions were
29673s	happening so they can they see on the
29674s	screen they see where the tides are what
29677s	the expectation is and I see them
29679s	looking at each other saying oh buddy
29681s	we're here to subvert these expectations
29683s	and some and and I think I think also
29686s	the first two maps like they're close I
29689s	also think like there's a a real
29691s	adjustment in terms of know that KSA has
29694s	not played teams that want to play this
29696s	fast right like playing against teams
29698s	that like take like lots of fights in
29701s	your backline I you see how fast and
29703s	frenetic some of these fights is as lbda
29705s	comes in here for Haku had a tremendous
29707s	series uh and I think it just takes a
29710s	little bit of time to adjust to that
29711s	speed adjust to that pace of play and I
29714s	think once you saw on surasa once they
29716s	started to get the hang of like okay
29718s	where are players going to be how do
29719s	they want to Pace these fights how do
29720s	they want to take them better cool down
29722s	management you know better ultimate
29724s	usage having those beats constantly and
29727s	then I I I think it's really now on the
29730s	team from China to adjust right it seems
29732s	like KSA has figured out a little bit of
29735s	something I'm not going to say they're
29736s	figuring out and shutting them down
29737s	there's still you know a lot of good
29739s	happening for the team from China but
29741s	they've put themselves in a spot where
29744s	you have more than A Punch's chance here
29746s	at the end L coming in here for
29750s	Haku the unmistakable music Rings
29752s	through the arena our fifth and final
29755s	map of this final game will be Route
29764s	66 uh double Flex support setup here
29766s	right so you think you ditch the sound
29770s	barrier here and you can play from that
29772s	High Ground maybe it's a little bit
29774s	easier it will be the team from China on
29778s	defense first back to that Hanzo again
29781s	Hanzo with the uh doomfist this
29783s	[Applause]
29791s	time the hearts and souls of Chinese
29795s	OverWatch on the line here a massive
29797s	massive fan base I
29799s	mean to get this close again another
29803s	silver unconscionable man
29807s	you don't even want to talk it into
29808s	existence
29810s	but KSA it feels like they have all the
29813s	momentum Quick Pick here from quartz on
29816s	the Widow using that life Weaver
29818s	platform will find nothing and we saw
29821s	life we at the World
29824s	Cup kick it off your bingo Square
29827s	folks you will respect the disruptor
29831s	shot here is that healing Pyon will be
29832s	an annoying space to clear Lee probably
29835s	has has to go up and do that but it's
29838s	risky yeah he'll play there alongside
29840s	lensa in the in the
29843s	tunnels the Hanzo is also really
29846s	effective uh against the Bastion as for
29849s	spes that first pick on to lead so maybe
29851s	this dissuades you from playing that
29853s	fashion but it's not like quz has been
29855s	bad on the soldier finds that first pick
29857s	on lead okay gu fortunately he's able to
29861s	good give a good of count himself there
29863s	cuz he got split off from the rest of
29865s	his team and that's what allowed lead to
29866s	get picked up they have no monk though
29868s	so they have to now play around Linka
29870s	who's also low no one's going to be
29872s	healing
29875s	him yeah you don't have anything here
29877s	for KSA as well as end up in a really
29880s	bad spot as HS find shy coming off spawn
29885s	UB is going to be able to make it out
29887s	and now you have surma Jed coming off so
29889s	they you have that spawn Advantage
29891s	naturally on the offensive side here for
29893s	Saudi Arabia so maybe you can make
29895s	something out out of this TP underneath
29897s	big ears it means have shy his head
29900s	there's any threat from that hit scan
29902s	you can duck in under and play a closer
29904s	game inside big girls m has that Nano
29907s	available will be ready to receive it
29909s	and in he goes quickly trying to get out
29911s	with the TP but he's going to be knocked
29912s	away from it and into the line the sight
29914s	of Shai causes in trouble ktic gr W save
29917s	you when gu comes to
29919s	[Applause]
29923s	call that gu gets powered
29927s	up might make it
29931s	out gets
29933s	away look at look at the clock yeah KSA
29936s	is playing for like this fight you're
29937s	going to have everything right you're
29939s	playing for this type of
29942s	fight you lose this you're in a world of
29945s	trouble no immortality field here so if
29947s	there is a big rtic flux it's very hard
29949s	for the team from trying to counter you
29951s	wants to TP away here the rest of your
29952s	team got to be left upon no look how low
29954s	they are it's got to be imortality field
29955s	already early in the fight and Shai he's
29957s	already found
29959s	suet Sim's in play shy going to wait it
29962s	out but that's dangerous oh here comes
29964s	gu what goes up must come
29967s	down and so to to the hopes of Saudi
29970s	Arabia winning that fight but Matt you
29973s	said that with these fights to win they
29975s	they didn't invest heavy they did not
29977s	invest heavy right Ling yeah they end up
29979s	using their Sim wall they end up using
29982s	their gravitic
29983s	blocks nothing to do with this blade
29986s	though you're probably looking at like
29987s	the captive sun and trying to kill leave
29989s	as fast as
29992s	possible you heard the announc 60
29995s	seconds left shy coping a lot of poke
29998s	damage this will force him off the angle
30000s	for now healing pylon down mon could
30003s	have been a juicy Target but Mar cannot
30005s	line him up
30007s	there here comes the captain start maret
30010s	is hunting he got to be shy connected
30012s	with now he's going to try and hold on
30014s	but he gets picked off
30015s	sh with the storm arrows can't take down
30018s	that Airborne iari is going to be caught
30019s	with the overclock this should be enough
30021s	for Saudi Arabia to push on in here gu
30024s	very
30025s	low P for China are going to have to
30027s	keep this up yeah and I mean it comes
30030s	down to the wire at the end but KS a
30033s	desperately needed that first checkpoint
30036s	and they get it at the end I like the
30038s	idea captive sun go over to the The High
30040s	Ground you need one pick get an
30043s	advantage now look at this you did the
30044s	TP you get that High Ground maybe you
30046s	get the now quartz can get set up there
30049s	deny some of this from Shai Shai can
30052s	contest it by climbing of course that is
30055s	a turret like wait what yeah healing
30057s	pilot also down speaking of deployables
30059s	that's a big one D though how does he
30061s	get out of this he doesn't have meteor
30062s	strike he doesn't have any healing the N
30065s	was important for sure KSA knocked
30066s	against the Gap in the wall that's a lot
30068s	of damage that he wouldn't otherwise
30070s	have had hey think about it Goose way he
30072s	goes through it CS takes a ton of damage
30074s	from that as well and gu going to jump
30076s	on out to punch back in disruptor shot
30078s	C's trying to buy himself some breathing
30080s	room but gu doesn't want to let him gas
30082s	for that air monk in the flux doesn't
30085s	have a good ending folks I'm sorry and
30086s	they had lost lensa at the beginning of
30088s	that previous fight so now you're
30089s	staggering out supports right links are
30092s	not enough to keep everybody alive so
30094s	you're going to have to back up a little
30095s	bit PS here would be massive for KSA
30097s	quartz gives up the game to shy though
30099s	he reveals himself from that very
30100s	obscure angle gives Azo a chance to
30103s	respond and reposition now the team for
30105s	up playing passively for a moment and
30107s	need Goose who's back on the Wind yeah
30110s	so interesting so this is a lot like
30111s	blizzard World leave is creeping through
30113s	the saloon right now trying not to give
30115s	away his position shy trying to climb up
30117s	here but Mar might have him with a
30118s	couple of shots shy is dicing with death
30120s	here great whip drot from ler to not Sur
30123s	of course and gu is very low and now the
30125s	captain son could be devastating it's
30127s	monk again and U finishes him maet is
30132s	Unstoppable until shy turns out for the
30134s	very least
30136s	still Saudi Arabia you've got everything
30137s	they need here to take this fight away
30140s	and it's just shy slowed up by the
30142s	turrets Saudi Arabia have a crack at
30144s	finishing the map yeah as they get that
30147s	second checkpoint Route 66 it feels like
30150s	a little bit you're playing with house
30151s	money now right as you hit towards this
30153s	end of the map guwe gets off of that
30156s	Winston just for a little bit now back I
30158s	think the Doom looks way better than the
30160s	Winston it's not comfortable it's not
30162s	comfortable the team from China of
30165s	nothing has been comfortable cor
30168s	switches back off the Bastion looking to
30169s	counter the Winston there Le this is
30172s	awkward no dash right now 5 seconds away
30175s	from it so wouldn't have been a to run
30177s	oh what a pick what a moment to find
30182s	it they do have to use rally to like
30184s	keep him alive right I mean he has one
30187s	shot you be using the TP to get within
30189s	line of sight they have to use that
30191s	rally and the shield to keep him up so
30194s	we might have a first legitim a dragon
30195s	blade of this map
30198s	though with a nano boost yeah the rest
30201s	for Le have unfortunately not been able
30202s	to achieve too
30207s	much leave on deflect
30211s	Duty I think they're just waiting for
30212s	the right moment oh they oh now they go
30215s	they shot they're going to go for it
30216s	anyway to the victor goes the
30218s	spoils Lee wants to try and take this
30220s	into his own hands that's two and that
30223s	might be enough here can't block that
30225s	one sorry son a crashes in that's both
30228s	that's both supports that go down for
30230s	KSA minute yeah they back up just a
30232s	little bit that is the Nano boost in the
30235s	blade gun you've gotten them to use
30236s	everything they're just kind of pooling
30238s	KSA for these big
30242s	fights again patience here from KSA
30245s	going to be mon getting caught inside
30247s	that fox and There Is No Escape there's
30249s	no counterplay with this team from
30250s	trying to composition gu is struggling
30252s	he's not getting out of that one alive
30254s	but how how big is that we look at the
30257s	team from China they have to use two
30259s	three ultimates to win these fights you
30260s	use just the blocks you get one support
30262s	now look at this the potential for
30265s	staggers lster might not be able to get
30267s	away still trying to head up to that
30270s	high ground but there's a TP to try and
30271s	chase him down the Brick's in trouble
30273s	nice double bonate though L going to get
30274s	caught by that a gets the solo kill
30277s	he'll struggle with M though and he went
30279s	fights
30281s	two
30282s	unreal and that might be enough another
30285s	Bon to keep him alive but he extends too
30287s	far into U's position Le though can
30289s	finish the job cours now with an
30290s	overclock from The High Ground to try
30292s	and finish the map people Saudi Arabia
30293s	the's back on the Winston again he taken
30296s	so much damage from KSA but it's the
30298s	time was enough what it was not Saudi
30303s	Arabia streak over the line a map
30307s	completion from where we were at the
30310s	beginning where it looks like that
30312s	you're potentially not even going to get
30314s	that first checkpoint not only do you
30317s	get that not only do you finish
30319s	checkpoint B you run it all the way down
30324s	no time in the bank but
30328s	still you can with the way that KSA has
30331s	set this up right they they've been like
30333s	pulling these ultimates for these fights
30336s	you can play clock here for a lot of
30338s	this
30340s	right dude a reverse sweep here
30345s	that's one way to do it I thought we'd
30348s	had our fill of those today but here we
30351s	are let's have a look at this
30353s	4K this towards the end of the round
30355s	mind you
30358s	a that is like a pixel over the payload
30364s	there that is massive that stall attempt
30367s	from
30368s	gue he tries to dance that bubble the
30371s	numbers are there for Saudi
30373s	Arabia so get a map completion is huge
30376s	if the team from China do it too of
30378s	course we get an extension we go once
30380s	more but right now Saudi
30385s	Arabia can take it here by preventing
30388s	China from finishing the map and they're
30390s	not going to play close typically we see
30392s	teams play close here you know at the
30394s	start of some of these rounds with the
30395s	composition that they want to play they
30397s	want to play distance they want to play
30399s	range as
30401s	shy Manning the Hanzo yet again still
30404s	going for
30406s	it feasto famine M when he gets those
30409s	picks it looks incredible when he get
30412s	shut down or Dove or forced away not so
30415s	much very defensive stand up on that
30417s	High Ground Le figuring that out just
30419s	now with those three turrets tickling at
30421s	him they're cleared pretty easy by gu is
30423s	not even bothering with the with the
30424s	doomfist
30425s	here now there's no need to right deny
30429s	some of these players like entry into
30431s	that choke right oh what a prediction
30434s	that is sick sweep the
30437s	leg great ACC now from KSA getting rid
30440s	of the biggest threat in a long fight in
30443s	the hand Zone oh buddy they're turning
30446s	tail ah just the tracking there though
30449s	and knowing where sh is going to end up
30451s	that is a sick accretion and Shai
30453s	already done going to go to the
30456s	soldier you can't count a goose race
30458s	pick on defense here though if your
30459s	quarts you're stuck on the so and not
30461s	the Bastion so that's an opening here
30463s	for the team from China CH got to clear
30465s	that healing T he does doesn't take too
30467s	much of a risk to do so either a
30469s	glancing Bo from The High Ground though
30470s	quartz is keeping him honest here very
30472s	quickly he'll be given one heal pack and
30475s	there goes goo to The High Ground but ju
30476s	intercepts lead KSA still a problem he
30479s	has been shifted off that High Ground at
30480s	least Shai makes it honest four versus
30482s	four gu looking now for lamba who has an
30485s	air Matrix fild up but Shai is hid he's
30488s	h d yeah lot just going to use that ant
30490s	Matrix but I think it's going to go for
30492s	nothing here is KSA and and quartz up on
30495s	The High Ground quartz gets forced
30499s	down that will be the team from China
30503s	taking that first checkpoint do you
30505s	think we see courtz switch here I
30507s	actually I actually don't think you do
30508s	the Bastion is a bit better but I think
30511s	you need that vertical and that High
30513s	Ground Control that that soier provides
30515s	and that may be why the team from China
30517s	chose this map less comfortable for
30519s	basting at least until the end of the
30521s	map they're having a big time bank going
30524s	into the thir face here for the team
30525s	from China that's a scary Prospect
30527s	here's a TP play to WRA on that left
30529s	hand side of screen FL shy gets on
30533s	out and here comes gu now to The High
30535s	Ground KSA about to get punished for
30537s	that one immortality field fed mon fting
30539s	KSA now and shy again another kick with
30542s	the rail gun he's on fire the team from
30546s	China won't be denied no as they are
30549s	making Fast progress with the payload so
30553s	get underneath the Bridge she have
30555s	another fight here for KSA a shy gets
30557s	really
30560s	low I what you have a overclock for shy
30563s	like if there's a TP right it look for
30565s	him to like pop that pre fire it
30567s	potentially again that TP to get across
30569s	here captive St for Mar Shai might be
30572s	good enough here a couple of shots and
30573s	have the so but again both players with
30575s	that hit scan damage Mar for off the
30577s	angle it's a random backand from
30581s	guwe who cers thear in mid
30586s	KSA gets brought down as well this is a
30588s	new level another gear for the team from
30590s	China and they going to have a truly
30593s	massive time bank okay so now this is a
30596s	decision I actually do like so we're
30599s	going to switch to the Bastion here
30600s	towards the end because there's not a
30602s	lot of high ground here but gay reads
30604s	this perfectly he's going to go back the
30605s	D so the Winston Pi got you a four
30608s	minute time bank you've got to be happy
30610s	with
30611s	that up goes Goose here knocking KSA
30614s	back in another pick and shine once more
30617s	and on a bti as
30619s	well you couldn't ride it any better for
30622s	the team for China they are going to
30624s	keep the March
30628s	going get rid of that TP prevent anybody
30630s	from closing the Gap Fashion Splash
30633s	damage coming on through but good
30635s	progress already they've got to do
30637s	something about this Soldier and
30638s	finally what a big head shot that is
30640s	going to relieve so much pressure here
30642s	Le has the deflex but holds on to it and
30644s	he gets the Bastian kill maybe they'll
30646s	hoping he builds play but he's nowhere
30648s	near it's Mar
30650s	up the nastiest Pair of Hands to Hold
30653s	that iari make no mistake support by the
30656s	way see comes through picks up some
30658s	kills as a damage
30660s	dealer you're still just burning clock
30662s	here for KSA right you still have the
30665s	advantage of you finish the map so
30668s	definitely not over just yet this is a
30670s	really tough map to complete TR looking
30672s	for lap to expose himself with those exo
30674s	boots maybe an easy kill the line up a
30676s	lot of sim turrets on that left side
30677s	they had to be cleared but doomfist
30679s	doesn't do it as easily as Winston it'll
30680s	be shy instead here's that play no that
30683s	was used earlier on it's got to be m
30684s	going down the deflect of the C Sun but
30687s	what else F Le he can't find anything
30689s	else and nobody can po the de on MAR and
30692s	the finds gue yet again
30695s	is what there's this this map is
30699s	difficult to complete because how narrow
30700s	this choke is like you're going to be
30703s	able to get value out of the B it feels
30705s	like all the time consistent damage
30707s	tougher sight lines to be able to get
30708s	like shy these like sick rail gun
30712s	connections really good area for Sigma
30714s	as
30716s	well good angle for Shai L had to go for
30719s	any more T you have to work that in new
30721s	game plan if you're the team from China
30723s	how do you exploit the lack of that cool
30724s	down I don't think sh expects this
30726s	they're chase him on the flank 14 HP
30729s	uhoh The Barrage comes in shy can he get
30732s	out yes he gets a mega heal pack the
30733s	mini rather oh oh
30735s	no they couldn't get shy out in one
30738s	piece to now leave gu having to try and
30741s	Stand Tall but monk is already down we
30743s	are bleeding some serious clock here 2
30746s	minutes to play yeah gu is going to have
30748s	to use that meteor straight to get out
30750s	so not even going to use a ver kill this
30752s	will be the toughest fight for KSA
30754s	double supportal for the team for China
30757s	and KSA only has that gravitic
30760s	block Shai gone off the boil in the last
30762s	couple of minutes compared to how we
30765s	looked at the start of this round the
30766s	start of this phase you be in trouble
30769s	though immortality field has to be
30770s	expended goway should be happy with that
30772s	but he wants to chase the Sim put the
30774s	pressure down make it hard for y to get
30776s	around the map now towards KSA gratic
30778s	flux monk he's able to get out of that
30779s	one and got interrupted Mar now with a
30782s	captive St but that's the kill and La
30784s	that you're looking for the Baptist now
30786s	down and like
30788s	dominoes the Saudi Arabian team Falls
30792s	yes quartz goes over to the s Jour here
30794s	for the end L will have to find his way
30797s	back in the fight leave with a dragon
30800s	blade though could help them complete
30802s	them out we're going to see a diva swap
30804s	K on the diva and all of a sudden the
30807s	team try to back up try they're waiting
30809s	for Linka they got to get LSA back in
30811s	here they get a measure of the situation
30813s	and here's that play captive Sun lead
30814s	can't chase thei he's up in the rosters
30817s	but Shai does the job for him it's a one
30819s	for one no shy has to give it up as he's
30821s	looking a loft UV D not getting out of
30824s	that one the rocket punch from gue can't
30827s	be protected from link doesn't expect to
30829s	be a coped by courts here though and he
30830s	loses out 37 seconds left in the round
30833s	here with a meor strike but look at that
30835s	Health pole he cannot commit needs mon
30837s	to get him back in the fight andj comes
30839s	back on the kuo so going to get right
30842s	back into the fight is taking play back
30843s	sing wall available and you're probably
30845s	going to get an overclock here from
30846s	courts he's been so good will this
30850s	overclock decide it CR way power
30853s	blocking there cour chai snaps him up in
30856s	an instant but still KSA is a big body
30858s	on the point Mar is down you've got one
30860s	Healer one DPS one shot to stop the team
30863s	from China Here Comes Le now he's going
30866s	to deal with the stalling body of the
30867s	diva the D is there now they're on the
30870s	push there'll be more stall Jericho
30872s	going to try and push out with quartz
30873s	here but quartz it's knocked into this
30875s	team and we're going to do it again with
30877s	one
30880s	minute one more time both teams finish
30885s	the map no time bank for either so chug
30889s	another minute on the
30892s	clock the team from China clutch up in
30896s	the
30897s	end what can you reasonably get done
30900s	with a minute in overtime on Route 66 as
30903s	an attacker I mean you you need two
30906s	fights to take first checkpoint right so
30909s	you think if you play it correctly
30911s	you're an OT like at like even at like
30915s	right at the corner of big ears right
30917s	like you're in OT early you may not see
30920s	either team push this very far do the
30923s	team from China take a close fight here
30925s	to try and get two full
30929s	ones it feels a bit risky cuz you you
30932s	don't know right they can come out and
30934s	play Bastion off the rip they can come
30936s	out and do you know a few different
30938s	things
30940s	here right uh you know you play close a
30943s	rail shot in shot kills Le Shai douch I
30947s	mean pretty much everybody on the team
30949s	right uh you cannot afford for that to
30953s	happen he doesn't get any closer than
30955s	this folks M five
30959s	overtime the minimum one minute for both
30962s	teams to get as far through Route 66 as
30965s	they can nobody can teach you how to act
30968s	how to feel how to play when you're in
30970s	this
30972s	spot s be the the team from China
30975s	playing up on that high ground on the
30976s	bridge so they don't want to take a
30978s	fight close per se right outside the
30981s	spawn door but they want to take one
30982s	before this first Corner they deflecting
30985s	much of that oncoming fire CS
30987s	tentatively here not overextending the
30989s	disrup the shot slows him down he had
30991s	like 90 charge ends up losing some of it
30994s	another healing pylon down for M kinetic
30996s	grasp here for KSA is he'll be forced
30998s	Back le the one HP that's a big kill
31001s	five versus four now in Saudi Arabia
31003s	start to build ahead of steam healing
31006s	pilot above that exit that should be
31008s	removed here but a TP now to allow Saab
31011s	to reposition it's going to be a bonade
31013s	on a two Ls her down mon next to fall
31016s	with both supports gu is in trouble mat
31018s	he can't stay alive it's just shy it's
31021s	just shy here's the worst part about
31023s	this the team from China doesn't take a
31026s	fight close they don't take one far
31028s	enough back to give a good Advantage so
31030s	now you put yourself in a position where
31032s	you're not going to get a second fight
31034s	that's the worst part about this KSA has
31036s	to stay on the payload we saw this
31038s	earlier today in this spot has to keep
31042s	it
31042s	contested but they have they that is a
31045s	huge accomplishment right there getting
31047s	that first
31048s	checkpoint team FR China they are scared
31051s	you have to feel there's a sense of
31052s	panic setting in you alluded to it a
31054s	couple of maps ago and now more than
31057s	they need to compose themselves find a
31060s	way to shake Saudi Arabia off the card
31063s	and Mar already with that captive son he
31066s	lets it go where is it headed back
31069s	towards his team he tried to get gu he
31070s	was diving with the N but he doesn't
31072s	connect Mia St comes in L the
31074s	desperately trying to get away but m is
31075s	St gu for three and that's going to be
31079s	it that's his far as Saudi Arabia will
31083s	push it's a tough situation for marer to
31086s	be in with that captive son we saw he
31088s	had it deflected by Le before sees Le
31091s	sees that Le's got the deflect up he's
31093s	kind of like running out of the ultimate
31095s	like he got to pop it somewhere knows
31096s	that gu is around the corner goes for it
31100s	so tries to just capture him at the end
31102s	see if you got to see now he might not
31103s	want to give it up as after this we will
31106s	be experiencing the Phenom that is Le
31108s	seraphim live here from
31110s	bliton the capacity right now so don't
31113s	move your
31115s	butt one minute for Saudi Arabia they
31117s	get a checkpoint that it's a big deal
31119s	let's let's not downplay it no it's
31121s	massive because they can they can drag
31124s	the the fights are going to go longer
31126s	right with their come like you're going
31127s	to drag these fights out I think you
31129s	kind of play a little bit of bully ball
31131s	if you're KSA right at that first corner
31133s	do not do not back off that first Corner
31137s	even if you lose that fight there you're
31138s	going to get the next one let's take a
31140s	look at this replay the dive here for
31142s	the team for China yeah so see he goes
31143s	around that left side sees that leave is
31145s	there and turns to try and put on gway
31149s	but yeah he gets right up into that
31151s	meteor strike nothing to do there the
31153s	hit box of the punch actually catches
31156s	sum from below it just Clips him and
31159s	stuns him
31160s	there I don't think gu was playing for
31163s	that he doesn't realize Mar is doubling
31164s	back like
31166s	that crazy stuff they're not playing on
31169s	the quter M but they do have a TP up no
31171s	they're going to play from big girls
31172s	probably now sit up top here maybe you
31175s	were thinking about like okay you can
31176s	kind of like TP from side to side
31181s	here a a early pick for KSA would be
31184s	huge might be over there but look at
31186s	that bio what great connection already
31188s	that immortality Field's got to be used
31190s	it doesn't mean it's a lost fight for
31192s	Saudi Arabia but it's has disadvantage
31193s	to start with M is low he's got to try
31195s	and out first away gu is right up in
31198s	quartz's face there's no basting to
31200s	answer this Winston right now that's got
31201s	to favor the team from China and we're
31203s	already down to 20 seconds on the clock
31206s	got to go card still lumbering slowly
31210s	ponderously around the corner but it's
31212s	Le the first of four who would have
31214s	thought qus now has to go to the left
31216s	hand side there's still two healers up
31218s	for China go s he feeds himself to the
31221s	Beast and now Saudi Arabia can bask
31225s	under the immortality field and bask in
31227s	the
31229s	realization that they have gone every
31231s	step of the way to become your World Cup
31241s	champions a believe it out of nowhere
31246s	into a date with
31249s	[Applause]
31250s	Destiny not only do they win they win in
31254s	RSE sweep taking out the team from China
31259s	mind you this is KSA 11 through 19 20th
31265s	in
31266s	2019 you're not even making it to
31269s	BlizzCon like you're not close to making
31272s	it to BlizzCon a few years later they
31275s	are the OverWatch World Cup
31279s	champions it takes a twisted Minds to
31282s	pull off the upsets of World Cup history
31285s	the Kingdom of Saudi
31288s	Arabia playing the trophy for
31292s	themselves heroing perhaps a new era in
31296s	OverWatch
31298s	Esports and we thought that the sigma
31301s	would win out against d
31304s	the team from China they have been
31306s	running that all tournament long people
31309s	couldn't run the sigma against it they
31311s	couldn't play against it we thought KSA
31314s	potentially the strongest team playing
31316s	those comps and that proved to be true
31319s	they battled back in a huge
31321s	way so Mar
31324s	maybe the greatest aaru player in the
31327s	world right
31329s	now these players been battling it out
31331s	in contenders under that Twisted Minds
31334s	Banner they have been Domin to make no
31337s	mistake but not getting a chance to play
31338s	at the top level now you've seen what
31342s	this region can produce and the team
31344s	from China second again and time again
31350s	this time to an unlikely opponent right
31353s	uh you thought a lot of people said
31355s	maybe KSA could surpris from people
31357s	finish top four finish top eight maybe
31361s	get up one map against the team from
31363s	China to win the whole thing is unreal
31368s	what a run is this the quietest upset
31372s	we've ever seen in a championship G it
31374s	would have to over the course of an
31376s	entire tournament we have been here with
31379s	the OverWatch World Cup for qualifiers
31381s	for groups this has been months and
31384s	months in the making and they were a
31387s	team that everybody was talking about as

31391s	right it's nice to see you know uh then
31393s	make it to BlizzCon and really that's
31396s	kind of where people thought their
31396s	Journey would in right make it to
31398s	BlizzCon you probably you know lose
31401s	early in the bracket but not only do
31404s	they win early on they win late when it
31406s	matters not an all of my eight years of
31408s	covering this game of I seeing a sight

31511s	cheering for us guys guys why we don't
31514s	dream we dream it and we make it true it
31517s	came true now Saudi Arabia is the
31519s	champion of the world cup of over watch
31521s	we made it we made it we made it they
31525s	made it indeed folks this is your moment
31528s	and once again the Kingdom of Saudi
31530s	Arabia are your OverWatch World Cup
31537s	champions make sure you stick around if
31539s	you're here for the Las seraphim concert
31541s	we'll have seating in a moment and it's
31543s	going to be starting off in just a
31544s	little bit but for now let's send it
31546s	over to the
31548s	desk thank you so much Alex wow wow wow
31552s	what a day of OverWatch we got treated
31554s	to what a World Cup this has been and we
31557s	want to take a trip down memory lane
31559s	we're currently setting up the medal
31560s	ceremony so once more we will be
31562s	honoring all three teams which made the
31565s	top so definitely stick around to cheer
31567s	them on and once more give them the
31569s	credit that is due but let's talk about
31572s	this absolute dream run from Kingdom of
31575s	Saudi Arabia and China what a heartbreak
31578s	it must be to once again for the third
31580s	time coming in that third in that second
31583s	place
31584s	wow Saudi Arabia I know go on a run I
31589s	mean an unbelievable upset in OverWatch
31592s	Esports history this is by far the
31595s	biggest upset we have ever seen we knew
31599s	that they'd be a good team obviously
31600s	they were really successful in European
31602s	contenders but to beat out teams like
31605s	the team from China to win it all this
31607s	was so unlikely I can't put into words
31610s	just like how an amazing feat this is
31612s	for their reason we we need to ER
31614s	iterate what players are on these teams
31616s	right as you just said it it is a
31617s	European containers team and Jake
31619s	they're going up against an almost
31621s	stacked
31622s	roster which has been playing in the
31625s	OverWatch League all season long so wow
31630s	well so he sometimes you know David
31632s	stands over Goliath with with only a
31634s	sling in their hand and for me I think
31636s	there is no better met all day to use
31637s	this there is no better metaphor I mean
31639s	really that's what this match was this
31642s	was team from China coming out to a
31644s	early 20 lead looking like the stronger
31646s	team looking Untouchable but the Kingdom
31648s	of Saudi Arabia first it's one map right
31651s	okay that's just your grit that's your
31653s	determinance you know we're going to
31654s	let's make this a good fight then it's
31656s	two you've tied it up you're starting to
31658s	put the fear into their hearts then you
31660s	win it in overtime on the final map
31664s	proving that you are the better team
31665s	it's no longer a fluke for me this is an
31668s	an incredible performance I think every
31670s	player on this team from Kingdom of
31672s	Saudi Arabia from front to back they're
31674s	all going to be on the map of OverWatch
31675s	Esports after this win wow and putting
31679s	putting their whole region behind them I
31681s	mean this is this is momentous for so
31683s	many reasons so we I I I'm getting
31685s	emotional honestly with with how much
31687s	these players must be feeling right now
31688s	I think what Golden Boy said about this
31690s	being an A A Monumental achievement is
31693s	the best way to put it guys you guys
31694s	remember when we were talking about uh
31696s	who the strongest teams were in the
31697s	group stages we were talking about USA
31699s	South Korea team from China we like you
31702s	said Johnny we we knew the Kingdom of
31704s	Saudi Arabia was going to be good but
31706s	not this good maybe they weren't the
31708s	David they are they were the Goliath and
31710s	we were we were wrong after this we'll
31713s	have to call them that but Goliath maybe
31715s	was Goliath going up against Goliath
31718s	maybe it was just that that's what we
31719s	witnessed today and honestly the same
31721s	can be said about each and every single
31722s	match we saw today and I'm just going to
31725s	say that without a doubt was the most
31727s	competitive day we had in OverWatch
31730s	history hands down how often have we

31839s	Finland team Finland I mean what a
31841s	miracle run from that
31843s	yes it is a bronze medal but still a
31845s	best ever result for them coming up
31848s	against Titans time and time again
31851s	pushing them to the Limit proving that
31853s	they are no weaklings they are no team
31855s	to be taken lightly what an incredible
31857s	result for them I think these players
31858s	should be incredibly proud facing down
31861s	South Korea and winning yeah that
31864s	Revenge match I'm sure they really
31866s	wanted it and I know they're happy with
31868s	that result but like I said before that
31871s	third that this may this might be a
31872s	bronze medal but if you really think
31875s	about it they're the third best team in
31877s	the world in OverWatch and that's a big
31880s	statement the opportunity to highlight
31881s	some of these amazing players you know
31883s	stood out really individually it's been
31885s	a great feat for team f once give it up
31889s	for team Finland your bronze

31922s	here competing at the very highest level
31924s	this time ending second so close to
31928s	earning that gold medal but still I mean
31931s	this is a Powerhouse of a team here Jak
31934s	as much as it hurts as much as these
31936s	guys came and they fought so hard so
31939s	bravely for gold I still think what an
31941s	incredible result for them proving that
31944s	their region still host some of the best
31946s	OverWatch players around they made their
31948s	style work in the end they were the ones
31950s	playing off meta they were the ones
31952s	bending the tournament to their will
31954s	they're honestly the best dive team in
31956s	the OverWatch World Cup and honestly if
31958s	you're if you're if you're a fan of team
31960s	from China you should be proud because
