916s guys hello and welcome one and all to
919s day number two of the OverWatch World
922s Cup
924s 20123 we are back again after one
926s amazing day of gameplay we got see most
929s of our teams and today we're going to
931s see some more I am as hyped as can be
934s and once again I am joined by my trusted
936s analyst and Friends Danny and
938s [Music]
940s Johnny Danny
943s I I'm excited day number two know we got
947s we had great matches yesterday we got
948s some good ones coming up today I'm
951s caffeinated as you guys can all tell
954s let's go I'm feeling good it's got to be
956s a good day i' be very worried if Danny
958s is not over over caffeinated at the
960s beginning of the show let's take a look
961s at the standings to see how some of our
963s teams fared yesterday quite frankly on
966s paper it looked like a bunch of
968s one-sided matches but I do feel like a
970s lot of teams actually played it a lot
971s closer than the score line would suggest
974s this is where we standing currently
976s there were some surprises looking at
977s Group D here Danny yeah I mean it was uh
980s I think the the most important one was
982s Japan beating France right I don't think
984s a lot of people expected uh Japan to
986s beat France because France had a lot of
988s big names but Japan they came in clutch
991s C loud Cloud I love
995s you yeah no they they've really put on a
998s show for us and we have so many great
1000s matches coming our way today quite
1003s frankly yesterday when we looked at
1004s today's schedule uh we realize that
1007s there are a lot of potential bangers
1009s Johnny you picked that one not two but
1011s four out of the six matches as your
1012s favorites to look out for yeah I'll do
1014s it again I pick all six I'll pick all
1017s six matches wow okay to look out for
1020s here we're leaving no team behind Okay
1022s six really good matches this is going to
1024s be an incredible week of OverWatch you
1026s know you know what I like Zoe I like
1027s OverWatch and we're getting so much of
1029s it okay we got six matches per day for
1032s today and two more days of group stages
1035s and then we get playoffs at blon too
1038s like there's so much OverWatch I love it
1040s this is the best I know and thus far
1042s they really did not disappoint uh we
1045s already touched a little bit on Japan
1047s and that group in general let's take a
1049s look at Group D because quite frankly
1051s after that Victory from Japan yesterday
1054s um it seemed like that group actually is
1057s going to be a lot more competitive than
1059s we initially expected yes we haven't
1061s seen the USA and Team Saudi Arabia play
1065s yet but we do have high expectations for
1068s both of those teams actually and uh of
1071s course one of the reasons why we're
1072s having high expectations for the USA is
1074s because they are the reigning Champions
1076s they have to defend their crowd
1079s this is the team which is currently
1082s getting the Target on their back do they
1085s have the same amount of synergy like
1087s what we expect from Japan uh as well as
1089s Saudi Arabia well that's going to be a
1092s tough question because while we have a
1093s few players coming from the same team uh
1097s this is a bit of a mix of a group of
1098s players right they really brought
1099s America's best but none of these players
1101s have previously participated in the
1103s World Cup except for super of course who
1105s is the one returning member from 2019
1107s when USA won the entire thing right so
1110s the Synergy question is a good one but I
1113s you know these are all really good
1114s players and I expect them to come out uh
1116s having played lots of with each other
1118s they had a boot camp already going into
1119s this Tournament of course so I think
1121s that they'll come into this group stage
1123s feeling refined feeling like they've got
1125s the compositions figured out and pretty
1127s good chemistry already with each other
1129s so no worries about Team USA they did a
1132s little bit of trolling and I more than a
1135s little bit like a lot of trolling in the
1136s qualifiers um but they should be a here
1139s in the group stages and they are the
1140s clear favorite to win their group group
1142s D I know Danny you're super excited to
1144s see super back in Action no pun intended
1147s there yeah I mean Super like we I think
1150s everyone loves super right I mean he's a
1151s great player he has he has a very I mean
1154s very camera what's the word like camera
1157s friendly
1158s personality he's got he's good on camera
1160s he's good on camera there you go see
1162s he's got RZ as he's got oh wow that's
1166s that's a that's a use this correctly in
1167s a sentence that plus his skills as a
1170s player you know he's he's just a great
1172s guy I'm super excited I'm happy for him
1174s to be back uh with the Team USA and also
1176s I'm really excited to see him play yeah
1178s I actually I uh in my notes for this
1182s event I did uh write down that he is
1185s likely the player with the most
1187s accolades and I don't know if that's
1189s factually correct but it just feels like
1191s it because if you run down the
1193s list go go for it all right all he two
1196s times OverWatch League champion one time
1198s World Cup champion stage two champion in
1200s the O League M Lee Tournament champion
1203s rollstar Allstar and MVP runnerup yeah
1206s that's him that's him super that's a lot
1209s a lot and also isn't he isn't he the
1210s only and he's the only person that came
1213s back to the OverWatch World Cup after
1216s winning the World Cup in 2019 cuz no one
1219s else like team anyone no one from Team
1221s Korea came back only second OverWatch
1223s World Cup uh so in 2019 when they won um
1227s today so he showed up for the ones where
1229s they're winning so you know see how you
1232s can look we're seeing the accolay I
1234s think I think some of the some of the
1236s stuff that so mentioned is isn't on
1237s there but yeah this guy this guy's but
1239s it's definitely factually correct please
1242s don't please don't don't the check uh
1244s either way I'm super excited to see him
1247s and the USA Squad in action and so
1251s should you we get a first look at this
1253s and many more teams and they have a lot
1255s to play for that's right because this
1258s time for the first time in overw Esports
1261s history this is going to be crowdfunded
1264s that's right you can support your
1268s favorite players and I'm not just
1269s talking about the top 16s that are
1271s battling it out in the group stage now
1273s I'm talking about all the players of all
1276s the 43 teams who have embarked on their
1278s journey to Bisson earlier this year
1280s because every single one of them will
1282s get a share of this price pool so you
1285s can support and contribute by purchasing
1287s this world cup bundle which features
1290s those incredible skins you're currently
1292s seeing on your screens and so much more
1295s so it's well worth I I have answers for
1299s days you know the animal kingdom a lot
1301s right you know the animals I I do I do I
1303s do know the animals so is like water
1305s inspired right what's with the orange
1307s eyes do do do do a lot of fish and stuff
1310s have orange eyes like what why does sold
1311s have orange eyes I I think that was just
1314s a stylistic choice
1316s because in here goes well with orange
1320s okay I was just about to put on color
1322s theory actually because complimentary
1324s colors would be blue and orange right
1326s because they the opposite of the color
1328s wheel if you will so complimentary
1330s colors great choices there although her
1332s skin is more uh heading towards the
1335s purple and the blue but it's still
1336s what's a what's a color wheel s right
1340s get there we get there in the post show
1342s has uh yeah don't sleep on color color
1344s wheel yeah I know I know but also don't
1346s sleep on teams um sure perfect
1349s transition why not we talked about one
1352s of the favorites to win it all with Team
1354s USA but there's plenty of other teams we
1356s need to discuss and we need to keep our
1358s eyes on let's kick things off with you
1361s Danny which team do you think might be
1363s currently going under people's Radars I
1366s think I think an underdog or or team
1368s that we have to look out for is some a
1370s team from group d uh Saudi Arabia is a
1373s team that I'm looking out for you know
1375s uh they got great players uh they
1376s already have that pre-existing Synergy
1379s and you know how important that is from
1380s the matches that we saw yesterday these
1382s guys have been playing with each other
1384s uh in the Pro scene and also uh another
1387s big weapon for team Saudi Arabia I would
1389s say is their unique style they have a
1392s unique uh sort of play style and a
1394s composition they that they really like
1396s to use so on top of that with you know
1399s great DPS players as we're seeing quartz
1401s look at him look at him shoot yeah there
1403s you go one more is a great yeah I mean
1407s they got great players they got a unique
1408s composition that if you're not prepared
1411s then you know it could be tricky to go
1413s up against on top of that they also have
1415s surma Jed on uh on team Saudi Arabia as
1418s well so this is definitely a a you know
1421s a dangerous team I would say yeah agreed
1424s absolutely and now another team which I
1426s think people stopped sleeping on I think
1428s everyone woke up watching them yesterday
1430s is team Japan they have impressed in
1434s their match against France it quite
1437s honestly yes that first map on control
1440s it was close I could have gone either
1441s way it really came down to the last kind
1443s of fight but after that second map man
1447s like they were they were cruising Nico
1449s that sojourn he was having the upper
1452s hand against AO actually forcing him off
1454s of that Soldier more than just once we
1455s also saw KSG really stepping up on that
1458s doomfist it was impressive he created so
1462s much space for his team and then of
1464s course we have to talk about the
1465s backline there Cloud on that ilari he
1468s on that Anna but Q L indeed man like he
1472s was he was a real big Stand Out Ki as
1475s well I think overall this team has been
1478s exceeding most people's expectations we
1481s did expect them to have a lot of synergy
1483s uh of course because they are playing
1484s for verel together for quite some time
1487s so they are intimately familiar with
1488s each other but to play like this against
1492s Team France which is quite star studded
1494s that was a big surprise and that leads
1497s us to believe that this team could go
1499s pretty far now Johnny who you have your
1502s eyes on look if we're talking about
1504s underdogs one team with didn't see
1506s yesterday was team Spain who actually we
1510s didn't really expect to qualify for the
1512s group stages it was a bit of an upset
1513s honestly um you know we looked at a lot
1515s of really talented teams from the
1517s European region and Spain I mean they
1519s had a pretty tough group I mean you're
1521s competing with the likes of Denmark for
1523s example who who's got players like
1525s Shacks I mean you competing with the
1526s likes of France and Spain ended up
1528s second in their qualification group must
1531s you because players like h of course but
1533s uh really good surprise to see Spain
1535s here uh representing Europe in the group
1537s stages and hell you know this is a name
1539s a household name in European contenders
1542s spent some time on British hurricane of
1543s course which is uh a fan favorite it's a
1546s name many people out there watching will
1548s be familiar with so if you're not
1550s currently up to date with European
1551s contenders I mean he's spending that
1553s scene for quite some time and you can
1554s see the accolades as well you know
1556s always competing uh you know buying for
1559s that a top tier spot in OverWatch
1561s Esports essentially so H is a great tank
1564s player for Spain of course and also
1566s you'll be familiar with h of course Zoe
1568s because H competed for Switzerland in
1570s 2018 and 2019 so there you
1573s go convinced will are you going to
1575s support yourth of course I I'm
1579s supporting everyone because I just want
1581s to see good games honestly I feel
1583s because switzeland is not in it I don't
1585s have any I don't have any horse in this
1587s race I'm just enjoying some fantastic
1589s OverWatch and thus far the teams have
1591s delivered just that we want to know who
1594s you are cheering on at home as well
1596s which flag are you wearing loud and
1598s proud share your thoughts on the players

1627s Bisson so definitely make sure to be
1629s part of it all we got fantastic matches
1633s coming out away so let's once more take
1635s a look at the schedule to see which
1637s match is going to come up first it will
1639s be Thailand and Spain so we do get that
1642s first look on Spain very very soon and

1846s day two is about to start we are getting
1848s ready for our first match of the day we
1852s get a few new looks at some of those
1854s teams and other teams are getting a
1856s chance to redeem themselves off to their
1858s day one performance but first things
1861s first let me remind everyone that you're
1863s not just here to uh witness fantastic
1866s OverWatch no you will also be getting
1869s drops special drops for watching and
1871s lots of other cool things coming your
1873s way so make sure to you know get the
1876s back hey you should we talk about the
1878s Skins I love the weapon charms all right
1881s get me some of those weapon
1883s charms H weapon charm
1885s Enthusiast same actually same it's the
1887s little things drops and drops they do
1891s look nice you're doing great Danny keep
1893s it up that was good background noise I
1897s you know I was I was expecting some sort
1899s of you know someone to stop me or
1900s anything but you guys didn't so I just
1902s kind of went on and no you should keep
1904s yeah I think I think again you've you've
1906s been doing it really really good another
1908s team which has been doing it really
1909s really good has been team Thailand
1912s because Thailand yesterday were very
1915s very convincing in their 20 VI iory
1918s right I mean they look dominant
1919s yesterday against Hong Kong and
1921s yesterday I was the thing that I was
1923s looking out for was Tito because he you
1925s know all I mean other than Tito everyone
1928s else was you know they do play for the
1929s same team so I was sort of worried how
1932s he was going to perform with the rest of
1934s the team Thailand team but I mean he was
1936s fantastic along with you know the people
1938s like or you know players that we're
1940s seeing right now like Ace and all of
1941s these guys they have the Synergy they
1944s are so they they have the cohesion and I
1946s think you know
1948s against today's Spain I don't know I
1950s don't know Johnny I think I think
1952s Thailand has the upper hand I would say
1954s yeah I mean I expected more from Calin
1956s like we saw here on circuit Royale
1957s playing these slower Sigma compositions
1959s but Thailand being able to play doomfist
1961s as well I mean that's a great ad they
1963s can play different styles yeah and here
1966s is the Spanish lineup this is the first
1969s time we get to see them what do we know
1971s about these guys Johnny well they've had
1973s a couple of change UPS from the
1974s qualifier so they have two new damage
1976s players coming into this lineup as well
1978s uh crazy Dragon was on the r before of
1980s course but they've changed things up a
1981s little bit from the qualifiers so it is
1983s going to be a bit of a different look
1985s when it comes to the damage players but
1987s like you're seeing here hell on the
1989s Winston is going to be a main stay uh
1991s for these guys and so that is probably
1993s the player that I'm looking out for
1994s obviously I highlighted H earlier but it
1996s is it is kind of like the pivotal role
1998s for Spain here and it's really going to
1999s set the pace for this team so uh we'll
2001s have to see what Spain brings with this
2003s kind of like fresh identity when it
2005s comes to this team um but yeah I'm
2006s expecting pretty good things from Spain
2008s and look this is them essentially
2011s playing for the second spot in this
2013s group right because we all agree that
2015s China the the team from China is going
2017s to be the big favorite in this group
2019s right so if you're Thailand if you're
2021s Spain you kind of have to beat each
2023s other to get that second spot right so
2025s yeah this match is really important for
2027s both teams it really is and obviously
2030s Spain is coming into this with a bit of
2032s an advantage as they got to watch
2034s Thailand play yesterday they now know
2036s that you you know team Thailand they
2038s look really good on those doomfist
2039s compositions Etc so maybe they've done
2042s their homework we're looking at
2043s predictions I had to do it Johnny I had
2046s to do it got support got to support help
2049s of course the lore is coming in clge
2052s vamos hops but not really it's actually
2055s Spain but why not why not let's give
2058s this one to Spain two and one uh I I
2062s think I'm I'm pretty sure I went in
2063s Thailand I remember did I go two Z there
2065s you go you know they had a dominant they
2068s I don't know I I put it I put in my
2070s predictions wa like early in the morning
2072s I don't know what I said you don't know
2073s what done before coffee dude I'm I'm
2075s happy with that one you know two Z
2077s Thailand they look dominant yesterday
2079s and I think I'm going to I think they're
2081s going to take it again uh against Spain
2082s today as well yeah I I I went with
2085s Thailand too look there there's so much
2086s fun Thailand and Japan are like my two
2089s my my two teams that I just love rooting
2091s for so I'm going with Thailand in this
2093s match up as well they looked really
2094s clean yesterday and I think they'll come
2096s out as the second team from this group
2099s right on well there only one way to find
2101s out and that's to get the match started
2104s we ready the teams are ready so let's
2105s send it over to Moxy and Dustin for all
2108s the
2110s action hello welcome everybody back from
2113s the desk obviously today we having an
2115s exciting match up like the desk
2116s obviously previewed us for sorry guys
2118s for you know kind of going into today
2121s it's going to be exciting Moxy I mean
2122s what do you think leading into this
2124s match up between Spain and Thailand I
2126s mean I'm really excited like the desk
2128s talked about no one really expected
2131s Spain to make it for the qualifiers and
2133s they were able to make it second in
2134s group a because they were able to take a
2137s win against Team France so they're going
2139s to be feeling pretty happy Thailand
2141s however are not because we have Emily
2144s here with us to be able to give us a
2146s little bit more info on why exactly
2149s Thailand are feeling a little bit or
2151s tredition going up against team Spain
2154s these two have history in the World Cup
2156s right Emily
2158s yes um prior to this morning's match uh
2162s we got to speak to Thailand a little bit
2164s and they said that they face Spain every
2167s year in the OverWatch World Cup and
2169s Spain has always been their toughest
2171s enemy so they do hope to keep their
2173s momentum going like yesterday um
2175s yesterday was a great match for Thailand
2178s everyone showed their best performance
2180s and uh aside from tiad and opua who have
2184s had Land Experience the other three
2185s never had it before so they were a
2187s little bit
2188s nervous um but everyone just you know
2191s put their aame put their best foot
2193s forward and I think that's how they were
2194s able to get their win yesterday now
2198s speaking of Spain however kind of like
2200s reinforc mentioned earlier they also did
2203s see themselves as The Underdogs coming
2205s in from qualifiers but overall Spain's
2208s mindset is really positive and they have
2211s really young players in the roster
2212s especially their backline so they want
2214s all of us to keep an eye out for the
2216s best backline in Europe and um finally I
2221s think I want to throw this over to
2222s Dustin um Spain mentioned that they they
2227s have to keep their strats a secret right
2230s but the one thing they did tell us is
2231s that they're going to play their Spanish
2233s style Tiki taka like the Spanish
2235s national football team so what do you
2236s think that means how does that cross
2238s over to
2239s OverWatch uh they're uh going to do a
2242s hurricane uh pass I don't I don't watch
2245s soccer Emily what the heck what
2248s no do football I do not know soccer okay
2252s it's soccer first of all I mean we are
2254s in the European match up right now so I
2255s mean we'll see if uh you know they
2258s actually do manage to Bullet that secret
2259s strategy like Emily mentioned meanwhile
2261s Moxy obviously we're going to ilos first
2264s on ruins in particular I mean kind of
2266s interesting compositions already decided
2268s by both Thailand and Spain yeah it's
2271s really interesting that Spain did say
2272s that they were feeling that confident
2274s about that back line coming from the
2276s European tend we are very familiar with
2278s both canel and Gala and canel is one of
2280s those standout players who Roose to
2283s prominence in 2022 with Munich H however
2286s has been around the scene a lot longer
2289s and he's back on the orisa oh this makes
2291s my clock hook been DET in Nostalgia
2293s goggles incredibly happy rack on it with
2297s Punk also dting over towards that
2299s Bastion piland obviously playing a very
2302s aggressive composition with that
2304s doomfist ready to go for a dive
2307s realistically whenever but I mean Spain
2308s is taking full advantage of this point
2310s Ace over the top does have that full
2312s charge but only sees an Arisa meanwhile
2314s the rest Thailand actually's held
2316s potentially out of position as the
2317s immortality field was used to save the
2319s Bastion but he makes back to his team in
2321s time kind of foring Thailand's push for
2323s now also pushing tiat back towards that
2326s point however Ty still are the ones to
2327s capture it first however Punk across the
2329s map what aade on the pale p and also
2332s Gala finding T wat an amazing second
2334s pick to find however Ace does trade back
2336s canal and then he also finds Punk with
2338s some help from the Tracer of Thailand
2340s however two are immediately traded back
2342s for Spain and then they clean up on on
2344s high Visions as well to reclaim the
2346s point yeah but H is just a monster of
2348s sustain it should be noted however that
2350s because tent were able to take that
2351s first cap they were able to stall it out
2353s for 17% and Ace coming with those kills
2356s does mean he's pretty close to overclock
2358s but G is going to kick things off not
2360s allowing tyen any opportunity to try and
2362s engage cleanly for a fast flip going for
2365s that captive on just forcing that dive
2367s further back so that crazy dragon can
2369s look to invade this back line doesn't
2371s man to find a pulse bomb kill still
2373s keeps the BR away oh yeah nice pul from
2375s high Vision but imly counter by the
2377s immortality field SP going for that
2379s early engage might cost them here help
2380s goes so low with the healing from canale
2383s he lives but eventually Ace will kill
2385s him with that overclock Goa does trade
2387s back audo and Punk with a 3K so far in
2390s this fight almost a four as Spain holds
2393s after some early ult usage oh gorgeous
2396s amplification Matrix coupled up with
2398s Punk on that Bastion and Thailand they
2401s have a doomfist as a tank that's not a
2403s whole lot of absorption coming out from
2405s this composition something that
2407s immediately Spain have been able to take
2408s full advantage of high Vision now is
2410s going to go actually onto that Genji so
2413s be able to better infiltrate into this
2414s SP line try and bully a little bit more
2417s of those abilities coming through from
2418s that P namely that immortality fi so you
2421s can properly jump on the Bastion without
2424s having to worry about the threat of that
2426s transformation considering you're going
2428s to have the deflex to be able to keep
2429s yourself a little bit safer right well
2432s the paws will come through having a bit
2434s of an audio issue on one of the team
2436s side looks like the side of Spain but
2438s you know both teams kind of figuring
2439s that out with the admins uh surely will
2442s be back in pretty soon but obviously
2443s these first fights have been relatively
2445s close Moxy I mean what do you think so
2446s far between this game Spain has hold on
2449s held on to the point now at 50% margins
2451s but I mean they've kind of had some
2453s close calls yeah they're running a
2455s Bastion with a with this orisa so it's
2458s going to be really dicey for this dive
2460s to try and decide on a specific Target
2462s right because even if with the dive
2464s you're able to find kill if it's not
2466s onto the orisa she's just going to
2468s fortify stand on that point and use that
2470s 45% damage reduction to wait for a
2473s regroup from the rest of your team P
2474s strike from Punk Ry meanwhile T actually
2477s cancels it only got one off nice punch
2479s from him but then goes aggressive with
2481s his ultimate however H with the teras
2483s able to find High Visions who is looking
2485s to make a push here h just kind of
2487s sitting in the middle of Thailand as
2488s they're trying to do something here
2490s rallying against the ISA will eventually
2492s be able to kill him but I mean with that
2494s too much resources invested in just
2496s taking out help we'll see Punks on the
2498s point eventually be taken out by T crazy
2500s Dragon trades back P but the T have
2503s enough damage with the rest of his team
2504s here down really low HP and in fact Gala
2507s will find him Spain boasted about their
2509s incredibly strong support lineup with
2512s Gala and it's actually coming to
2513s fruition at the moment Gala oh my God
2516s captive son into a 3K to reclaim the
2520s point they gave it up for a second but
2522s they have it back under their control
2524s well if that isn't backing up the
2525s statement of best backline in Europe I
2527s don't know what is Thailand had even
2529s swapped P onto the KIRO to try and Swift
2532s step from Spawn to a player on point so
2535s that they could try and stagger it out
2536s because they have been able to find the
2537s flip off of The Kills earlier on in that
2539s fight but Gala immediately shuts them
2541s down and secures team Spain the win of
2544s the fight and and now we're in last
2547s fight territory High Vision so close
2549s that blade that it might be too far
2550s Dustin cuz he has to jump the Yari and
2553s girl is not going to go down without a
2555s fight no Spain just have to clean up
2558s Paulie now I they're going to win this
2559s first round and I can already see all
2561s the twitch chat comments allori by the
2563s way support by the way I mean it just
2564s always happens when it's a Baptist or an
2567s allari it just feels like nobody gives
2568s the support player credit but I mean
2571s that was awesome by Gala and the rest of
2573s Spain I mean it's it's so tough for this
2577s dive to try and formulate on any Target
2580s in that composition right you can't go
2582s for the orisa because I mean if you send
2584s the dest after even with things like
2586s power block it just gets disrupted
2587s entirely by the javelin throw you can't
2590s go for the backline because the arari is
2592s just going to be able to either one V
2594s one whoever you send jump away or the
2597s Bap is going to throw down immortality
2598s field at least if you go for the B
2599s you've baited out the ability but
2602s unfortunately because everyone from
2604s Spain is just so good in terms of
2605s sustain on that own Bing out immortality
2608s field is not the fight win condition
2610s that it is for some of these other
2613s compositions SP now Rock in that same
2615s composition except with Canal onto that
2617s Anna meanwhile Thailand they have that
2620s Diva out there with the echo this time
2621s and a tracer to follow through MOX they
2624s actually rotate expected it though
2626s they've got yeah they got punk on the
2629s ash crazy dragon as well that Tracer H
2631s is kind of the target here again but
2632s poly I mean kind of goes down for it did
2635s have some help from the Tracer
2636s eventually they take out he but I mean
2638s it might be you know it takes so many
2639s resources just to kill H where three
2641s members are already gone for Thailand
2642s before they kill him n Spain just has to
2645s rotate over to this point teok gets
2646s staggered into the pit and they CL they
2649s capture that point first Thailand's
2651s always had this game plan whenever
2653s they've played control point of just
2655s trying to bully the other team out of
2658s space so they can pick up that first
2660s point and it forces the other team into
2662s throwing in Ultimate even if you lose
2664s the fight you're still stacking up point
2666s percentage but Spain just does not allow
2668s that to happen again that sustain is
2670s absolutely insane even if you target the
2672s orisa crazy dragon and punk just have so
2674s much better mobility and Galler is
2675s absolutely Unstoppable at the moment
2677s Thailand may have the echo but they
2679s don't have the mercy pocket so Crossing
2681s into a position for the echo to get
2683s close enough to use that focusing beam
2684s is so hard to do G kind of playing that
2687s modern day Flex support just always on
2689s that rotate gets eventually back towards
2691s his team on the cage side as they rotate
2693s all the way around Thailand now halfway
2695s to capturing that point but Spain
2697s eventually comes on to the objective to
2698s contest it make sure it stays in their
2701s favor for now P Spa from crazy Dragon
2702s connects onto audo who was in the
2704s immortality field and bashed out of it
2706s so no that's terrible for Thailand and
2709s now in the main side it's just on ply to
2711s live and you can't save yourself from
2713s crazy Dragon who just killed three
2715s people in this fight a Stoke after
2717s getting his own pulse bomb came back to
2719s counter out crazy dragon and Tylan get
2721s the flip but they lose their Diva Mech
2722s off of Kat if they have enough help Nan
2725s boosted on to the point p goes to kill
2727s both Ace and Tian so even though they
2729s gave up the point for a second ESP or
2732s Spain get it back yeah that's not even
2735s really a wasted Nano you're able to find
2737s the flip you're able to shut out tyon
2739s before they can try and use the higher
2740s mobility of things like the diva and the
2742s echo to be able to stagger and off of
2744s all the damage that Punk's done you've
2746s bolt up Bob to be able to disrupt any
2749s spal zoning that Talent want to set up
2751s with this amplification Matrix
2753s canalo have some good ultimates but no
2755s they're back on line I mean poly dead
2757s again hyren traes back punk goes down so
2760s at least tyer getting trades in this
2762s fight becoming ultimate from Gala didn't
2765s really find a ton of value directly High
2767s missions in the copy just wants to take
2768s out Canal does so also gets the copy
2770s terer so that's going to be a lot of
2772s damage in the H and in fact it takes him
2774s out 91% on the board and climbing but
2777s tyan claim that objective back and look
2780s for stagger kills but look at what Spain
2782s did they recognized when those kills
2784s came through that they were going to
2785s lose that fight and they held on to a
2788s lot of ultimates off of purely the
2791s captive sun coming through from Gala
2793s Thailand got so scared that they had to
2795s throw in three ultimates now they've
2798s only got amplification Matrix and
2799s they're hoping that Ace is going to be
2800s able to buy themselves the time to be
2802s able to build up this pulse b as being
2804s try and push through but they're the
2806s ones that lose a player first yeah I
2808s mean it keeps happening Ty they keep
2809s losing one Member First Bob also out for
2813s Punk it seems like a Ty trying to find
2817s something here I mean they got to win
2818s this fight or at least wait for high
2820s Vision to come out they do find H again
2822s so I mean they keep getting at least
2824s trades and also Paulie finds crazy
2826s Dragon so Ty actually holding here even
2829s though they lost that first member of
2831s their team they're looking strong yeah
2833s but look at what Spain is going to be
2835s approaching H's going onto the Winston
2837s so that canel has a better Nano booster
2839s Target for this dive engagement Gala is
2841s going to be able to have a captive son
2843s Ace does have the pulse bom and because
2845s they don't have that bad it does me no
2847s immortality field this pulse PL has to
2848s be on
2850s point sting on this right side CL for
2853s the P Punk slow enough anyways though so
2855s they do kill him and eventually hell
2857s falls back to the main side but are they
2859s going to go for a soft reset here or at
2860s least go for trades I mean hell finds
2862s High Vision but dies late now Spain in a
2864s weird position Punk's going to swap over
2866s to Sombra Ace does he want to go for
2868s more no he's going to come back so this
2869s is going to give Spain another chance at
2870s this point this Sombra is a really good
2873s swap you can either try and Bully the
2875s Baptist and throwing out the immortality
2877s field only or you can melt the diva x t
2879s can't use the self-destruct to be able
2881s to stall out in this last fight also
2884s available for Gala now goes for a punk
2886s though will die on the engage and it
2888s doesn't look they have to follow through
2889s crazy Dragon Gets the pulse Gala still
2891s here as well comes back to the peel but
2893s they still down a person on the team T
2895s eventually will find Gala after coming
2897s down from the sky and Canal in Thailand
2899s kind of to make a comeback on well to
2901s bring us to round number three really
2904s good swaps coming for from Team Thailand
2906s love the diva love the fact as well that
2909s they gave up on the echo they were
2911s seeing that it wasn't getting value they
2913s were taking so much damage just on Entry
2916s to all of those fights not just from the
2918s hitan of the ash but also from Gala on
2920s that arari they knew that they need to
2922s find some distraction to allow Ace to
2925s start actually popping off and worming
2927s their way into the back line and that
2928s Diva and the Genji allowed them to do
2931s exactly that and it meant that Spain
2933s weren't able to put their game plan into
2935s motion we saw how swap onto the Winston
2937s to enable that Nano boost and every
2939s single time spin wanted to have the
2941s opportunity to use it they were
2943s disrupted they were having to turn
2944s around to all of the backline Frets that
2945s team Thailand were providing the
2948s disruption as you described it I mean
2949s Thailand really good at just coming back
2951s constantly running a very similar
2953s composition they did in the previous one
2954s as well meanwhile Spain locking to that
2957s Winston this time p through beh help I
2960s mean takes a ton of poke already very
2962s low 20% Health remaining on him will get
2964s healed up but that's a lot space gone
2967s for the likes of Spain pylon also goes
2969s down from high Vision as Gala obviously
2972s went for a bit of a flank angle on the
2973s top side nice easy grenade connects onto
2975s Thailand but it's tiat to find G on the
2978s backside Punk and crazy dragon come the
2979s other though and find three also tat
2982s will lose that Mech and then baby Diva
2984s for him so Spain will claim the
2986s objective first yeah gorgeous anony like
2989s you said coming for from Canal and
2991s immortality field had already been
2992s invested earlier before the anti
2994s actually hit so the second that that is
2996s gone Spain just pull the trigger and
2999s really initiate in with that dive
3001s composition H vision is actually going
3003s back to spawn probably SW back onto the
3004s Genji yeah there it is they tried the
3006s echo they wanted to try and control all
3008s of the lanes of high ground that punk
3009s wasn't getting just a shooting gallery
3012s to pick upart these players on rotation
3014s but it's just not working out because
3016s being were able to take that first cap
3018s Don't Go Over the Top as it needs to be
3019s contested and he goes down low without
3021s having a support there so excellent die
3023s from Thailand can pops the anab boost on
3025s H so they're trying to come back in this
3027s fight down a member of their team they
3029s do so Canal's able to find ply meanwhile
3032s High Visions trades back help so it is
3034s now actually in favor of Thailand to
3035s come back through after the nanab Boost
3037s was used on Spain's side as Thailand
3040s hold the hold the point for a little bit
3041s longer yeah TI just taking a little bit
3044s of a dive to be able to get that Mech
3046s back with the boosters he will be back
3047s in the fight before Spain are ready to
3049s regroup especially since e is just
3051s waiting for everyone to move past him so
3054s he can jump on this back line I think
3056s he's been spotted out however yeah H and
3058s punk will collaborate to push the Tracer
3060s away and keep Canal safe at least the
3062s dive isn't necessar on the back have
3064s pulse bom committed but a blocks it with
3066s the shield immortality fi still used
3068s however to negate the damage potential
3070s go still finds Ace on their dive as well
3073s so a lot of resources being used from
3075s Tyler to live here audo and ply come
3078s together to find crazy Dragon and also
3081s drop that window too so they want to win
3083s this fight even though they're missing
3085s one of the members of their team H will
3087s go down to H as well prop the Primal
3089s Rage understanding he kind of needed to
3091s because so many ult are being pop for Ty
3092s to commit the diva bomb and they still
3094s lose tawat towards the point perfect
3095s Shield usage from Gala and the rest of
3098s Spain kind of regroup on this point
3100s there's no tank here so not a lot of
3102s Point pres necessarily for Thailand
3103s they're just going to run in and stagger
3105s but it's stall yeah I mean they do get
3106s the stall down up to 70% so you're right
3109s I mean they they get some sort of
3110s Advantage
3111s there it is stole so like you said Team
3114s Talent have been able to put themselves
3115s up to 70% High vision is coming in with
3118s a blade they're not running the Anna so
3120s they're not going to be able to enable
3121s it with a nano boost but it does mean
3123s that punk is going to be forced to try
3124s and hold on to this EMP to shut the
3126s Genji down as quickly as possible but he
3128s goes back to the diva boosters that's
3130s the worst possible start to the fight
3132s because now High Vision has a free blade
3134s and he's hunting down Canal yeah it's
3136s tough the situation to be in there go
3137s does trade him back but yeah it might be
3140s bit too late and he's time to get that
3142s Point Flip as well I mean they do have
3144s to wait for high Vision to come back
3145s from Spa but Spain you know do they come
3147s back with that EMP nearly 80% on the
3149s board for Thailand and no ultimates
3151s either MOX I mean Spain have to go for
3154s an engage here hell goes so low on the
3156s back does get healed up by canel and
3158s also gets theab boost re-engage as well
3160s Punk over the top does have EMP
3162s available go for the back doesn't
3164s actually want to use it in fact he goes
3166s down with it Ace in the rest of his team
3168s come through to find Punk so that's the
3171s big ultimate for Spain gone now as
3173s Thailand understanding that maybe they
3174s just want to win right here now help
3175s gets the P rage though very low HP will
3178s pop it eventually the rally comes
3179s through from audo as well so tyon still
3181s healthy here on the objective Spain
3184s waiting for Punk to come back now he
3186s drops the EMP but it's after H is gone
3188s Diva bomb as well from tat to Zone at
3190s the point crazy dragon only able to find
3191s one Canal will find high Visions at the
3194s very least Theo so low too no more
3196s supports for Thailand at least Spain
3198s have Canal it's Ace on that point trying
3201s to find the support of Spain but he
3203s cannot and the rest of Spain on the
3205s outside do claim the objective and are
3207s looking for staggers on Thailand both of
3210s those teams were desperate to win out
3212s that sustain fight you actually saw hell
3215s try to go on the doomfist to be able to
3216s tap back in in time p as well went to
3219s the Lucio to try to regroup fast enough
3222s to be able to just wash over team Spain
3225s with numbers Advantage doesn't happen
3227s but they have been able to burn out both
3229s the N boost the Primal and the EMP from
3231s Spain and crazy Dragon B bomb didn't
3233s find anything now it's just going to be
3235s Spain trying to by themselves the time
3236s to build up these support ultimates so
3238s they can sustain on that point and take
3240s it to last fight H chased again but it's
3243s Park to come out on top taking out
3246s Highland support meanwhile also all of
3248s them are just kind of wiping slowly at
3250s the moment I mean the r here on the
3252s point two nobody's able to touch in time
3254s either and it was close but Spain are
3257s going to be the ones to win ilos yeah
3260s it's really unfortunate for team
3261s Thailand they do things like swap onto
3263s the echo to try and have that dive that
3266s jump onto the Winston be as punishing as
3269s possible they know that the ash from at
3271s the very start of the r has been removed
3273s swapped out for that new rework Sombra
3275s which means no hit scan it should be an
3277s absolute open season for the echo but it
3280s doesn't happen both of the supports are
3282s just so so close to both the Nano boost
3285s and the rally that by putting all of
3287s that threat onto the tank who just soaks
3290s up all of that damage and translates it
3292s into ultimate charge the team Spains
3295s back line suddenly they are gift wrapped
3298s the sustain tools that they needed to be
3300s able to keep that point anchored I mean
3302s so smart from the likes of Spain let's
3304s take a look at the highlights of the
3306s match or map number one in this first
3308s the two I mean obviously you got the
3310s captive Sun from Gala yeting it across
3313s the map into Ace I mean that's just the
3315s solo kill for this thing we're just
3316s running away you can't he's like look
3317s that he's like what do I do what do I do
3319s about that g that's not it though cuz
3320s then he catches a mid air because it's
3324s it's not just that captive sun damage
3327s that you have to worry about right it is
3329s the bird's eye view that thei is given
3334s as the alt continues see some fire there
3337s by the way Moxy in the cameras obviously
3339s from the lengths of Spain I mean it's a
3340s hype match up between these two teams
3342s obviously you know Thailand have a
3344s storied organization in their own side
3347s and also another jump up out of your
3349s seats I love that that's some good
3350s energy out of both teams for this
3352s matchup I mean that's truly I mean it's
3355s going to be a close one marxy between
3357s both of these teams at least on the next
3358s map there's a lot of energy for all of
3361s these players as you can see oh my
3363s goodness I love these player reactions
3365s so much they are so happy to be here
3367s like we've already talked about right
3370s some of these teams will not expected to
3372s be able to make it as far as they did
3374s and now that they are here they're out
3376s to prove not just to everyone watching
3379s but to themselves as well to their
3381s regions who are cheering them on behind
3383s the scenes that this is why OverWatch is
3386s such a beloved Esports all across the
3389s world Rialto will be our next map as
3392s chosen by Thailand but before we go to
3394s Rialto we have to go to a short break so
3396s guys don't go anywhere we'll be right
3414s back
3418s [Music]
3432s [Applause]
3439s let's
3444s go
3453s [Music]
3474s yeah
3481s [Music]
3502s 3 2 1 let's
3504s go
3514s [Music]
3534s oh
3536s [Music]
3548s [Music]
3589s welcome back everybody what a series
3593s what a game what a way to start off
3594s world World Cup yesterday was awesome
3597s today seemingly is going to be even
3599s better Moxy obviously between these two
3602s teams they're going to have a little bit
3603s of changes as well as I mean we saw the
3606s player cams earlier with all of the
3608s energy and all of the screaming from
3610s both teams I mean it's awesome to have a
3612s land back we're going to have bones come
3613s in po crazy dragons for the side of
3616s Spain a bit of a change up for them yeah
3619s and we're changing up the map as well
3621s team Thailand having lost that first
3623s control map are going to be taking
3625s taking us to their handpicked choice of
3628s Realto so this is going to be extremely
3630s fun to see both interactions between
3632s these two teams because there are so
3634s many different compositions that you can
3636s prioritize when you run into realta if
3638s you want to try and keep running that
3639s dive composition you absolutely can we
3642s have seen such a rise in Tracer value on
3646s the attacking side as they just push up
3649s all around that side area where the
3652s health pack is in gardens up into The
3654s High Ground on the bridge bridge where
3655s anas like to be able to sit back feeling
3658s a little bit safer but now that the
3660s tracers have find The flanks Not So safe
3662s anymore no no I mean it's it's hor it's
3665s horrific it's hard to deal with a lot of
3667s those flanks I mean but with the likes
3669s of Spain I mean they talked about it
3671s Emily mentioned it how they the team of
3674s Spain mentioned how they have a really
3676s talented backline and they do obviously
3678s with both gallet and Canal kind of
3680s boasting some of the best uh you know
3683s back lines in the entire of World Cup
3686s and they kind of proved it on that last
3687s map so Moxy you know if you're that
3689s flanking Tracer would you think you'd be
3691s a little scared of the likes of Spain in
3693s their support Duo absolutely I mean if
3696s Galler is on that
3698s arari we we've already seen he does not
3701s miss those shots you have to be on
3704s absolute fire if you want to be able to
3707s catch that back line when they're a
3709s little bit vulnerable and it's something
3711s that team Spain have been able to do to
3713s such a devasta impact because what they
3716s basically do is they know that the arari
3718s can keep herself safe so it allows he to
3721s be a lot more aggressive in terms of how
3723s long he's staying in those forward
3725s positions baiting out a lot of that
3727s Focus Fire coming through from Team
3729s Thailand which gives the DPS from Team
3731s Spain such a huge advantage in the
3734s amount of attention that isn't directed
3737s towards them and a DPS that isn't being
3739s looked at there's a DPS that's going to
3741s be coming up in the right side of the
3743s kill feed oh yeah I mean and there was a
3745s lot of that in the last one as well Punk
3747s and and crazy dragon as well but now
3748s bones coming in for a bit of a change up
3751s is this the first time we're seeing
3753s little bit of Ry or Jun of Queen Moxy
3755s potentially for them I mean please team
3761s no what what was he doing he was he was
3764s teasing the life Weaver oh jeez okay
3767s well the character's good right I mean
3768s has a ton of sustain but not enough
3770s offensive cap no no the Weaver the
3772s Weaver has left the building it has been
3774s replaced by Bria no surprises at the
3777s composition that team Talent have
3778s decided to field by taking us to Rialto
3781s they do set into motion all of these
3784s really long angles nice clear line of
3787s sights but something like a Widowmaker
3788s to try and win those One V on and set up
3791s a crossfire as well the high Vision to
3793s be able to play around with Ace are you
3795s going to go for a grapple shot do you
3797s really want to reveal your hand that
3799s quickly yep he's going for it but
3801s doesn't see anyone yeah a bit too late G
3805s looking to take that duel actually with
3807s him sure if that he be able to one shot
3809s that from this distance hell meanwhile
3812s just getting some free push as Thailand
3815s allowing them to take this first amount
3817s of space but at this first corner I mean
3820s obviously they're going to leave tiat
3822s towards the objective to stop it look at
3824s gala though on the far flank acting like
3826s a DPS Ace as well sitting at the back of
3830s the map kind of just poking down the
3832s front line hi Vis is able to find Gala
3834s on the outside side he went off screen
3836s for a bit of a flank by himself and that
3838s results in his death so now Spain they
3840s four versus five Thailand you don't have
3843s the advantage yeah bones used that may
3846s not to block line of sight from either
3848s the echo or the Widow but to enable hell
3850s onto that High Ground to try and contest
3852s TI Wad and it left them exposed and now
3856s that Crossfire that we were talking
3857s about came fully into motion look at
3859s what p is playing as well he is
3861s absolutely Untouchable given the fact
3863s that sping by running both the May and
3865s the Bastion the May to be able to just
3867s block and set the arist up to try and
3869s find isolation and the Bastion to chunk
3871s through as much damage as possible they
3873s don't actually have any flank potential
3875s other than Gala on The alari ampliation
3877s Matrix used but eventually given up on T
3880s or k wat will go down so fast as high
3883s Visions in the copy able to melt Punk so
3885s finds his copyed counterpart and also on
3888s the gala audo also came through with the
3890s nanab Boost is able to find a lot of
3892s damage and Spain gets team White Ty will
3895s hold the G yeah there is absolutely
3898s nothing that Spain can do to be able to
3900s take space if tyland are able to just
3903s kite out all of the threat potentials
3905s that Spain have and one huge thing that
3907s they had to worry about was the Bastion
3909s set behind that amplification Matrix it
3911s is now been removed and we go back yet
3914s again to the crossfire setup oh if that
3917s was old Widowmaker canel would have been
3918s dead there so now Ty obviously sitting
3920s back Ace kind of playing support of fire
3922s for his team will also give them that
3924s infrared sights also a nade connected
3927s onto Spain Rally from Auto they want to
3929s go aggressive with it but they're walled
3930s off for now canel also used the morality
3932s field Punk now actually commits an
3934s artillery strike defensively but I mean
3937s he's already lost Canal hell comes
3938s through with the terror surge over the
3940s top DEA bomb to Zone him out for now but
3942s hell will get that Mega health pack stay
3944s relatively healthy the C though not
3945s pushing by the way so wall Spain is
3947s looking for this off angle fight the
3949s objective isn't even moving an inch
3951s forward Kwa also finds Gala who went
3953s aggressive I mean seems like this is has
3954s been a constant for Spain Gala getting
3957s picked out in that fight in particular
3959s High Visions as well will find Punk and
3961s I mean Spain they're just going to
3962s slowly get Whitted down to literally
3965s nothing here at the moment T will come
3966s back for this may H just getting
3968s staggered eventually so bones but bones
3970s has that double pocket there at least
3972s he'll live bit longer now H Vision even
3974s eventually finds him goblet trades back
3976s Ace H Vision wants more can will be able
3978s to find him so okay DPS supports at the
3980s moment for Spain they found two yeah
3983s High Vision getting a little bit too
3985s over eager to try and jump into that
3987s back line and find more stagger pick to
3989s fade out as much time bank from Team
3991s Spain as possible now means that team
3993s town do not have the DPS to pick but
3995s Spain on entrance to these fights and
3998s this is when team Spain decides to try
3999s and make their presence vation Matrix
4002s immortality field to make sure you can
4004s actually set up behind it but it's
4006s immediately burnt out by both the diva
4008s and the Bria and now it's just team
4011s Thailand who now have that Echo back
4013s into the fight they're just red through
4015s team Spain 17 seconds left Ace going for
4017s that one V one that was just a support
4018s versus support ultimate matchup I mean
4021s Baptist window really doing not a lot uh
4023s here at all Canal's going to swap over
4025s to that Anna because of it Nana a rally
4027s first by audo then Pauly dropped it with
4029s the Nana boost there's too much to deal
4031s with now we're going to overtime T to
4032s want touches that objective to make sure
4035s it's not moving any further into the Sky
4038s Hi vision goes gets that for the health
4039s pack as well stays alive Ace over the
4040s top sign with the full spa forces out
4042s the deflect now tries to find bones also
4044s an grenade onto him but can't connect
4046s with the pulse bomb meanwhile Punk gets
4048s slept on the outside after finding the
4050s Vita Ace will be able to find G of
4052s Primal Rage from H surley will be able
4054s to find this Anna off into the water and
4056s he does so but tiat also has found Canal
4059s so it's back and forth one to one high
4061s vision's out of the copy as well will
4062s fall back to the objective tiat lost the
4064s mech but drops the diva bomb it's just
4067s Punk now because Ace has been doing so
4069s much on Tracer though Punk able to find
4071s him in this last fight H vision's able
4074s to connect onto bones as well and nobody
4077s else can TCH too many members gone for
4080s the likes of Spain and Thailand looked
4082s amazing on that defensive hole yeah
4084s unfortunately for team Spain there were
4086s just no ultimates they're able to use
4088s H's bubble to block out the Fred of the
4091s self-destruct but because your Genji has
4093s just continued to be kept at Bay by team
4096s Thailand a doing such a good job of
4098s occupying bones' attention so the blade
4100s is not built up the Genji does not have
4103s the ultimate and team Spain even though
4106s they try and stag on to that point they
4107s have absolutely no ultimate to be able
4109s to Anchor their presence and Force Team
4111s Thailand into a full regroup I I mean
4114s you would think maybe for Spain you go
4116s back to the drawing boards a bit it
4118s could be also you know Thailand this is
4120s their map pick right Moxy I mean they've
4122s obviously practiced that strategy of
4124s just Auto go playay aggressive brigita I
4127s mean Auto was like a former DPS player
4130s right so I mean he's got that capability
4132s just to go ham on the Brigade right
4134s right yeah it wasn't just that it was
4136s also taking full advantage of this
4137s really open courtyard that we talked
4139s about right Spain they run a composition
4142s that relies on everyone sort of rolling
4144s as one ball all together there's no one
4147s who's really available to go look for
4149s those flanks which means that the
4151s crossfire is never being pressured the
4154s way that you want to deal with the
4155s crossfire you always have to try and
4157s keep attention on the two players
4159s involved in the crossfire rather than
4161s focusing your attention solely on the
4163s one because it means that the other DPS
4165s is then getting that free field that we
4167s talked about at the opening of this map
4170s Spain however deciding to stick with the
4172s exact same composition it is definitely
4174s better on the defense I would say given
4176s the fact that orisa is such a good
4178s anchor to be able to hold this position
4180s for as long as possible where it's going
4182s to get a little bit dicey as if they
4183s lose control of the first Corner because
4185s the map widens out and the M loses so
4187s much value as a result this is actually
4190s a very aggressive hold so far for Spain
4192s over the top but P are avoiding at the
4195s moment they're getting cart pushed
4196s though because they're ignoring them
4198s hully will go down it looked like their
4200s backman actually run ran up behind the
4202s side of Spain resulting in that Anna
4204s going down early so not a lot of heals
4206s now for tylon Ty actually swap over to
4208s the Baptist TI will also lose that Mech
4211s right after a support respawn theu also
4214s goes down tiat will jump into the water
4217s too so so far Spain have got him in it
4219s off the clock yeah but team tyon doing a
4222s very good job of forcing Spain into
4224s going for that drop down contesting the
4226s point and that payload is a lot closer
4229s to the full part of Courtyard where the
4231s May is going to lose the value because
4233s it's not immediately going to section
4235s off the entirety of alley yeah looks
4237s like they're a bit split at the moment H
4239s over the top looking for that pressure I
4241s mean he can constantly do it here cuz
4243s even if he get shot up eventually he'll
4245s be able to drop down like he is at the
4247s moment 2 minutes and 30 seconds left on
4250s the clock I going for a bit of a flank
4252s was walled off temporarily punk goes so
4254s oh low has the double pocket immortality
4256s burn too by high Vision amazing
4259s placement of the grenades and then Ace
4260s is there with that shot with the rail
4262s gun charge bti window by Canal to try to
4265s equalize it but no kills just yet
4267s Thailand avoiding that window for now
4269s they actually just take a very passive
4272s engagement here Callie comes back with
4274s his own window highish goes through it
4276s throws the grenades onto bones and he
4278s will go down copy onto High Visions 2
4281s able to find H off of that want to go
4284s for the fast wi GA found one he's found
4286s two on a tatt and is still staying over
4288s the top side overclock won't be able to
4290s do much against the rally it's just too
4291s big of a shield too much health Ace
4294s trying to go for him but it might cost
4296s him his life eventually does have some
4297s help from high Visions there the rest of
4300s Thailand drop towards that payload don't
4301s want to push it they're just going to go
4302s for a soft regroup here and try to find
4304s these supports who have kind of just
4305s anchored over the top for feels like
4307s forever yeah punk trying to buy Spain
4310s the times to be able to regroup around
4312s this High ground with that artillery
4313s strike coming from from the Bastion and
4315s is going to be able to do exactly that
4317s the supports with G rally have been able
4319s to live through the bre but H does not
4322s live through that bones has to drop a
4324s defensive blizzard will be able to
4326s freeze up the diva but the self-destruct
4328s means that tto's immediately going to be
4329s able to get back into that Mech and team
4331s Thailand have a tank Spain don't they
4333s have to give up the space and play for a
4336s regroup that was a nice blizzard to get
4338s it through the defensive Matrix at least
4339s T doesn't have the menion mar but SP
4342s waiting for Punk to come back from Spawn
4343s he swapped over to so 76 help will go
4345s aggressive for the terror surge do
4346s anybody even caught it doesn't look like
4347s it so he's just going to cancel it also
4349s B pce Window used by Canal so two huge
4352s ultimates and get the kill eventually
4354s Punk will able to find a poodle help
4356s also on to Paulie High vision went for
4358s that flank but eventually Punk will run
4359s him down and Spain will hold 44 seconds
4363s left in the clock High Vision tried to
4365s go for the haulk drop down onto those
4369s supports didn't quite work out like you
4371s said he got caught by Punk who swapped
4373s onto that Soldier and this is great for
4375s Spain because with the Soldier's better
4377s Mobility you can get back into the fight
4379s super quickly but you now have a hit
4380s scan to keep the echo in check Health
4383s back on that High Ground is going to be
4385s such a stall War flanker to stop anyone
4389s pushing up onto this hrant as you can
4390s see tto wats the boosters immediately
4393s just shoved Away by the javelin spin as
4395s team Tal's going to invest the
4396s amplification Matrix and Gala uses the
4399s rally aggressively to push him out of
4400s the area of it yeah that's terrific I
4402s mean Ace with the overclock men to Vault
4404s to help to the rally too strong at the
4407s moment Spain against you know having
4410s such a horrible attacking side now on
4412s the defensive angle looks a ton better
4415s and in fact get the two victory over
4418s Thailand yeah you definitely didn't
4420s expect that to happen when you look at
4423s how that first round of Rialto played
4426s out team Thailand looked like they had
4428s it unlock this is very obviously a map
4430s that they feel incredibly confident on
4432s that they've been rehearsing that they
4433s they've been able to just choreograph
4436s this dive composition unfortunately team
4438s Spain have also choreographed a counter
4441s to that dive and a lot of it relies on
4443s just being able to Anchor in those
4445s positions I said that the Bastian and
4447s Arisa would find a lot more value when
4450s they anchoring space as opposed to
4452s trying to monopolize it away from a team
4456s already in control of it and that's
4458s exactly what happened every single time
4461s team Thailand tried to push into team
4462s Spain they had so many different
4464s abilities they were just able to hold on
4467s to that ground forcing team Thailand
4469s into just absolutely accelerating
4472s through their entire ultimate economy to
4474s try and buy that space back and
4476s something like a rally or even just hell
4478s of going for a fortify with the javelin
4480s spin me that all of those threats that
4482s the ultimate should provide immediately
4484s went up in smoke really smart stuff
4486s coming through from Team Spain this this
4488s is why they're one of these teams that
4489s you do not want to sleep on no I mean
4492s they look so good as you mentioned now
4494s obviously looking forward into this
4496s group we'll have to see if they have a
4497s chance at some of the other opponents
4499s but in that match up with Ty he was
4501s super close Mo you can't really call it
4503s Thailand either but we'll have to wrap
4504s it up or we'll have to see what the desk
4506s has to say about it in just a second
4508s desk what you think about that game
4510s Spain versus
4512s Thailand thank you so much we're back
4515s here uh to break down all the action we
4518s just got to witness between Spain and
4520s Thailand it was a close match it was an
4522s Explosive Performance and a great first
4524s look at Spain I personally never doubt
4526s it I don't know about you Danny and
4528s Johnny prediction game not not so good
4532s yeah my my prediction game hasn't been
4534s going that well ever since yesterday I
4536s mean also we just having fun with it
4538s like we were prediced with our hearts
4540s for this one yeah having fun with this
4542s one right it's not serious you know of
4544s course why do you sound so K around
4547s kidding around hey you know you win some
4549s I got Japan yesterday I took an L today
4552s with Thailand you know well you know who
4554s took the W Spain did and in what
4557s wonderful fashion there are so many
4560s players to highlight here so many things
4562s to point out so let's dive straight into
4564s the highlights and talk about how Spain
4566s got it done I mean this was a crucial
4570s win now for Spain uh like I mentioned
4572s going into the match of course that when
4574s you're in this group with uh the team
4575s from China of course they're going to be
4577s the favorite hands down to get the first
4578s seed so it really was a match up between
4580s two teams that are buying for that
4581s second spot and make it to the playoff
4583s at blon later this week I think that czy
4587s dragon has some really good performances
4588s here on the Tracer you know getting to
4590s the backline it was something we talked
4591s about what while we're watching the game
4592s just like wow p is struggling you know a
4595s bit for the Thailand here and nuto on
4597s the Bri as well not really making sure
4599s that his Flex support stays alive right
4601s so a bit of a struggle but it really
4603s felt like the dive and the the early
4605s picks in these fights came through from
4607s from Spain so that's a great first
4609s showing that you can play a lot of
4610s different you can play Dive compositions
4612s but you can also put hell on on the Ora
4614s uh like box also were you know try to
4617s point out several times throughout the
4618s series yeah I think I think we were
4621s highlighting H uh because he's a big
4623s name and and and it really showed like
4625s how great of a player he is right I mean
4627s not only is he Winston but his switched
4629s to the orisa like it did so much for uh
4631s Team Spain and I think yeah it was very
4634s impressive and I just loved these guys
4636s just taunting Thailand like the ban
4640s between these two was just so good it
4643s was so good it was so fun to
4646s watch you know have fun with this both
4649s teams obviously were having a great old
4651s time on the server Spain took the W
4653s Thailand Unfortunately today getting a
4655s loss that puts them at 1 as they did
4658s have a great first match yesterday
4661s against Hong Kong so you know not all
4664s hope is lost and it was a close match
4668s their initial hold looked really really
4669s good there on Rialto Unfortunately they
4671s got Fuller held uh so that's unlucky I
4674s think they have a lot of footage though
4677s to uh to review and a lot of takeaways
4680s from this particular match against Spain
4682s so I am looking forward to seeing them
4683s coming out strong in their next match
4686s and we of course will be getting ready
4688s for our second match of the day that one
4691s will be fought out between the Kingdom
4693s of Saudi Arabia and Japan so stick
4695s around for this one we're heading into a
4697s quick break and after that we're going
4698s to break down all the
4702s action

4984s that's true and also welcome
4987s back you know just testing everyone
4992s keeping the Panic the absolute I heard
4995s every second of it so I don't know
4996s actually happened but I thoroughly
4999s enjoyed it yeah speakr of explosive uh
5001s situations and here are our current
5005s groups and the standings after all the
5008s games we already got to play and quite
5010s frankly I mean we had I would say pretty
5013s clear favorites for most of the groups
5015s uh as in which top two teams Advan
5018s Johnny has anything changed for you
5020s after one day of matches yeah I mean I I
5023s I don't know about you I I I'd say top
5025s one like I'm convinced about top one
5027s then as I say that I think about Group B
5029s and how I thought Canada would get
5031s through as first but uh I mean yeah you
5034s you'd probably have South Korea USA and
5037s the team from China as your favorites
5038s but apart from that like really it's
5040s wide open I don't know who's going to
5042s get second in all these groups and who's
5044s going to make it through the playoffs so
5046s a really fun rest of the group stage we
5048s have in front of us these next three
5049s days with lots of matches that could go
5051s either way
5053s true who's the who's the most unlikely
5056s yet the one you want to advance the most
5059s Danny unlikely the most unlikely but
5062s like with your heart like you need them
5065s to win listen no I think okay I'm going
5067s to say me I don't think they're I don't
5069s think they're unlikely I think they have
5070s a chance but I mean they did get the
5072s loss yesterday but I am rooting for
5074s Mexico you know VI Mexico vamos Mexico
5077s I'm still rooting for you guys that's it
5080s never give up can I say um Group B
5082s Brazil if Brazil makes it through over
5085s Canada and like Australia that would be
5088s like one of the biggest world cup upsets
5090s we've had in at least 4 years years so
5094s uh that that would be really funny I
5095s love that there are so many teams which
5097s previously in or World Cups they have
5100s not actually ever been able to get past
5102s qualifiers past preliminaries so for
5105s some of them like anything like coming
5109s out of the group stage would already be
5111s the best result they could have possibly
5113s had and that makes it all the more
5115s exciting you can't help but root for all
5118s of those teams now let's talk about two
5121s more teams we get to see to today Japan
5123s we've already seen but their opponents
5125s today this is going to be our first look
5128s but first let's chat about team Japan
5131s lots of standout performances across the
5133s board from this very team we expected
5135s the cohesion and they showed up yeah
5137s that that cohesion their team Synergy
5139s really came in clutch for them and you
5142s know not a lot of people expected them
5143s to be friends but I mean they did it you
5146s know it was two Z for Japan yesterday
5148s against France and they got you know I
5150s think there were a lot of players that
5152s Sur surprised a lot of us like people
5154s like KSG on that doomfist Nico as well
5157s was a was a standout player yesterday
5159s and of course I'm going to keep doing it
5161s Q loud baby I'm loud for
5164s cloud L for cloud I'm loud for cloud
5167s baby you know it's so you know they got
5170s they got a lot of things going for them
5172s and on top of that you know you can see
5173s that they're really hungry for this and
5175s they're you know they're eager to win
5177s yeah but so is their opponent opponent
5180s team I mean we know most of these
5181s players from Twisted mind and joining
5183s them is no other than Surman jat who has
5185s had a very successful year on Toronto
5187s defined in the OverWatch League Johnny
5189s what do you expect to see from this team
5191s well judging from the starting lineup
5193s and the fact that we don't see LDA in
5194s the starting lineup who you know usually
5196s specializes and uh plays uh some of the
5199s kind of like flying heroes I guess you
5201s can classify them as in this game but I
5203s think instead it's going to be about
5205s quartz right like we're seeing right now
5207s on the Widowmaker and some of these hit
5208s scan Heroes that is like really the
5209s pivotal player for this team obviously
5211s surma Jed as you said probably the most
5213s successful player on this team but that
5216s being said I mean it this team is
5218s essentially Twisted Minds from
5220s contenders Europe and they've been the
5222s best team in European contenders all
5224s year right so this is actually quite a
5226s Powerhouse with really skilled players
5228s um and I'm expecting a pretty good
5229s performance coming in here in their
5231s first match uh out of so many rest of
5233s this group stage and I don't know if I
5235s don't know if I remember correctly but I
5237s do feel like when Emily got some insight
5240s from Japan yesterday they did mention
5242s that they never been able to actually
5243s play against one of the European teams
5245s so while there is a lot of tape on the
5248s team from Saudi Arabia or rather on the
5251s uh Twisted Minds Ruster they've not had
5253s the firsthand experience of actually
5255s going up against them would make it very
5257s very interesting now we do have Emily
5259s once more for an inside scoop Emily what
5262s you got for
5263s us yes that's right Zoe they hadn't had
5266s a chance to scrim with any of the EU
5268s teams and um Believe It or Not team
5271s Japan has actually been nerfed by
5274s traveling um coming in from their win
5278s against France they're hoping to keep up
5279s their momentum and confidence and uh
5283s when I asked them if they felt like
5284s there were any challenges against KSA or
5286s USA they said no challenges per se but
5289s we believe we can win as we always do
5292s but the environment in the US is very
5294s different from Japan so there's still
5296s acclimating to travel and finally I
5299s asked what do you think is team Japan's
5302s greatest strength and they said our
5304s strength is that we have many fans in
5306s Japan even with the time difference
5309s between the US and Japan we get a lot of
5311s support from our fans and their support
5314s is our strength that's all I have for
5316s you guys back to the desk thank you so
5319s much love the wholesome answers there
5321s great Insight once again it's fantastic
5323s to have Emily getting us that inside
5325s scoop on team Japan and this is
5327s something we've discussed yesterday guys
5329s right like it's a big difference to play
5331s on land you're in a different
5332s environment the setup is different the
5334s food is different you're not sleeping in
5336s your own bed you know it's there is a
5339s lot of things which actually can affect
5341s your performance thus far it did not
5344s look like anything affected Japan
5346s however maybe day two it's going to look
5349s different if we're looking at
5350s predictions for this one I still have
5352s Japan winning this one I hope for a
5355s close match I'm very excited to see
5357s Steam uh Saudi Arabia uh taking the
5359s stage for the first time but I do think
5361s the w will go Japan's way what about you
5364s Danny yeah I think they had a very
5366s convincing Victory yesterday I also went
5369s uh with Japan uh I'm getting the victory
5371s today but I I do think it's going to be
5372s a close
5373s match I I can't believe I'm I I'm also
5377s uh predicting Japan to win this one I I
5380s I actually think like this is silly
5381s because Saudi Arabia should be the
5383s favorites like they're a really good
5385s team but Japan so much
5389s fun Japan to win it's so much fun that's
5392s that's what this is all about it's about
5393s having fun it is a competition of course
5395s but we're going to have so much fun
5397s along the way so we are getting ready
5400s for this next match first we're heading
5402s into a very quick break then afterwards
5404s Moxy and Dustin will bring you all the
5421s action
5425s [Music]
5439s [Music]
5451s oh
5453s [Music]

5598s [Music]
5614s welcome back everybody to the OverWatch
5616s World Cup 2023 my name is Dustin joined
5619s back by Moxy and we're here today with
5621s the second game of the day with Kingdom
5623s of Saudi Arabia versus the kingdom or
5625s not Kingdom of Japan just Japan playing
5628s in this incredibly close matchup
5629s according to our desk where they've all
5632s predicted for Japan when Kingdom of
5635s Saudi Arabia have been a team for like
5637s who knows how long and have been so good
5640s uh I mean what do you think Moxy coming
5642s into this game Ry down between these two
5644s teams what's going to happen I mean it
5646s is very much a contend this playoff
5648s isn't it we have the Kingdom of Saudi
5651s Arabia who as the desk have rightfully
5653s pointed out it's essentially twisted
5656s mindes and the last time that you and I
5658s were watching Twisted mindes we were
5660s casting the summer contend
5662s European finals where it was I think a
5665s free hour it was something like 2 hours
5667s and 59 minutes of a match a seven map
5671s series but swis Minds were able to
5673s defend their title and retain the
5675s championship of European contenders team
5678s Japan have also been playing in their
5681s region of contenders not as much success
5683s they came second in both the summer and
5686s fall Asia Pacific split in 2023 but this
5690s is a team that have been together for a
5691s very very very very long time under the
5694s umbrella of varl where a lot of their
5696s players joined in 2021 with the
5699s exception of Danny's absolute favorite
5701s cloud or as he calls it coud who joined
5704s in 2022
5706s April you mentioned I mean Japan such a
5709s history lineup so same with the Kingdom
5711s of Saudi Arabia as you said Moxy I mean
5713s so with this match up in particular
5715s compared to maybe other World Cup games
5718s I would say there there is a little bit
5719s more history here at least in their own
5721s specific region and that's why I mean we
5723s talked about this off broadcast Moxy meu
5725s it's just awesome to have World Cup back
5727s to be back at a lande again where
5728s everybody's here you saw the energy in
5730s the last game with Thailand both players
5732s kind of just shouting each other getting
5734s excited so it's great to have these two
5737s teams playing today that are storied uh
5740s players like together they've they've
5741s continued to play on other teams
5743s together but also the fact that they're
5744s at Lan to have that energy together is
5746s exciting yeah very interesting actually
5749s that Saudi Arabia have decided to uh
5752s take out labda for this control map it
5754s is Busan and Busan does have two outside
5757s Maps downtown and Sanctuary where things
5759s like the far and the echo find a lot of
5761s value but it looks like they want to
5763s field both U and quartz and we know from
5765s firstand experience how devastating ub's
5768s may can be and quartz his hit scan Japan
5770s is going to have a real tough task ahead
5773s of them trying to shut KSA Sigma down
5775s yeah Nico was phenomenal yesterday not
5777s to confus him with Nico on France so you
5779s know it's pretty interesting that they
5780s play both Nik yesterday ni will come
5783s through with that tank transformation
5785s however immediately KSA will shut him
5787s down off of an aggressive push from
5790s Saudi Arabia just allowing KSA to get
5792s those 3ks now a 4K I mean obviously KSA
5795s a sigma main himself just showing off as
5798s K or as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
5800s claim the objective first yeah Kingdom
5802s of Saudi Arabia have the Lucio Haku does
5805s have that speed Bo Advantage for the
5807s second that team Japan had actually
5808s invested that immortality field s get to
5811s go so much aggressively forward and
5813s really put into motion you be doing so
5816s much damage with the IND for MC Blaster
5817s and the buff of 100 now we're going to
5819s see a dive from the echo Comfort cooki
5821s has been able to infiltrate into the
5822s back line but there it is again U's
5824s primary absolutely shreds the help yeah
5825s and obviously sa the Sai araban team
5828s just coming back for that peel yub goes
5830s aggressive with his with the rest of his
5831s team but I mean Japan shut out Yuki had
5833s that flank like you said Moxy but it was
5835s it was snuffed down and Kingdom of Saudi
5838s Arabia are literally just going to do
5839s the same thing again and again and again
5841s they have a choold they have the Lucio
5843s they can speed boost UB in 90% of the
5846s way to a blizzard team Japan are yet to
5848s come up to a single ultimate granted
5851s when they come into something like
5852s amplification Matrix Kingdom of Saudi
5854s Arabia are going to be kited into trying
5856s to disengage it but with the loo that's
5858s going to be so much more easier in
5860s comparison to team Japan artillery
5861s strike from cour Japan runs and hides
5864s from it for now but they could
5866s potentially lose somebody immortality
5867s field used at the very least that's a
5869s cool down out KSA dolin that gratic
5871s wants to get it before immortality cool
5873s down is available and could very well do
5876s so but they're just going to back up for
5878s now actually they know the rotate is
5880s coming out from Japan potentially but
5881s Japan fakes it out they come back
5882s through with the an Matrix the fzz in
5884s fact here no immortality bu to save them
5887s and everybody and Japan is going to head
5889s right back to the spawn door a wasted
5890s rally in this fight in particular Nico
5893s just stagger killed in basically last
5895s fight now for Japan U is just an
5898s absolute stand out he reads the team ja
5901s kind of Faking out so that they can come
5903s back in with the amplification Matrix
5905s and catch onto Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
5907s if they going to try and punch hold that
5909s other the choke he blizzards and then
5911s walls the amplification Matrix so anyone
5913s from Team Japan who' managed to
5914s disengage the blizzard doesn't get to
5916s use the amplification Matrix now we're
5917s in final fight territory team Japan have
5920s to try and use this Bastion artillery
5921s strike to be able to clear the space but
5923s if the bastion's in Ultimate Form he's
5925s not pressure in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
5927s on catwalk with The High Ground hold oh
5930s no kill there actually through the
5931s accreate oh nobody even touched the
5933s point oh jeez Saudi Arabia 100 to0 over
5937s Japan on round number one yeah it it's
5940s so unfortunate like I said when the
5942s Bastion is in the AL you don't get to
5945s move so as a result the basan is not
5948s going to be able to put out that insane
5950s amount of pressure that's keeping
5952s Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in check the
5954s second that yui he is that Al line he
5957s knows that he has an absolute free field
5960s to be able to to farm as we head into
5963s Sanctuary however the map does open up
5965s significantly more so the May is going
5968s to lose a lot of that value being able
5970s to isolate some of those chokes but it
5972s looks like team Japan aren't actually
5974s going to stick with the echo they've
5975s decided that they're going to try and
5977s mirror with the slight cavat of cloud
5980s coming out on that arari to try to out
5983s damage Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's
5986s backline see what works out for them
5987s obviously Saudi Arabia looking really
5988s good thus far at least on Mega base
5991s could be be different in this map in
5993s particular they actually go all the way
5995s around understanding they have that
5996s speed Advantage we'll see if they want
5997s to take advantage of it Japan mean while
5999s have Cloud on the flank we've seen this
6001s out of pretty much every lari player so
6002s far always taking that off angle
6005s dropping their pylon where it could heal
6006s everybody constantly making sure back
6009s line is harassed ports goes down early
6011s to Cle but also KSA is able to find KSG
6015s again also the main player of Japan
6016s Define two Serge goes down also on the U
6019s will find his counterar KSA comes
6021s through to find him with the rock but is
6023s met with the rest of UK's team Japan
6027s amazing first fight for them they're
6029s going to get that point first KSG by the
6031s way is coming back on the doomfist this
6033s is something that we saw yesterday
6034s against Team France team Japan have used
6036s the doomfist to absolutely disrupt these
6040s Sigma compositions which requires so
6042s much order and coordination everyone
6044s playing behind the sigma so that you're
6047s safe behind the shield behind that grass
6049s and you have a to be able to stop any
6050s potential Dives coming through and team
6052s Japan now have this disruption let make
6054s sure the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia don't
6056s get to set the main place and what a
6057s fast blizzard there from Japan too able
6060s to get Quartz with the damage of it and
6062s the followup although it does cost Yuki
6065s his life thought Arabia regrouping on
6068s the inside angle just looking to sustain
6069s maybe force Japan to make a mistake here
6072s KSG understanding that he's a bit caught
6074s out will back up for now now Sai trying
6076s to move towards that point building
6077s towards their own ultimates will drop a
6079s blizzard will it hit anybody probably
6081s stuck in it but he goes into the sky
6083s with a captive Sun U shoots him out the
6084s air but it's after Cloud already shot
6087s his shot U did trade back F Cloud but
6090s the rest of Japan are still here on the
6092s objective and the Saudis are wiped yet
6093s again as Japan crosses the 50% margin it
6096s did cost both support ultimates but like
6098s you said Team Japan were able to retain
6101s control of this point and yet again
6103s they're going to try and disrupt Kingdom
6105s of Saudi Arabia's approach Nico just
6108s looking to try to charge up that Al fire
6110s on the rail gun on that soan as well as
6112s build up into that overclock to be able
6115s to match wi with ports but hu has the
6117s sound barrier Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
6119s can literally just get as aggressive as
6120s they want do K go solo on the point
6123s overclock over the backside beat drop
6124s just a the of time from Haku and
6126s eventually Nik melts down through U but
6129s he traded back from courts so Jordan
6131s still up for the likes of Saudi Arabia
6133s KY goes so low on the backside able to
6135s get his ultimate off just before he dies
6137s also waiting to land on the Baptist able
6140s to get the followup damage
6141s on the back side Jaan looking awesome in
6143s this fight until Court comes back with
6146s the overclock that's two for him can he
6148s find any more may out of ice block does
6150s have one shot left it's only a body shot
6152s into the regenerative burst as well
6154s Japan still have that point overtime
6156s taking down there is a sigma on the
6158s point his name is KSA it's going to be
6160s hard to take him out without your own
6162s tank player on Japan's side so they give
6165s up the objective the Saudi Arabians
6167s capture it back yeah it was just too
6169s many off angles for team Japan to be
6171s able to try and hold on to but the fact
6173s that they're able to force courts into
6175s throwing in the overclock is absolutely
6178s huge because team Japan are in final
6179s fight territory Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
6182s have absolutely no ultimate to last them
6185s through this next fight if they get
6186s caught out by the blizzard that Ki is
6188s trying to set up on the flank around
6190s drum this mind is done and we go to
6193s downtown you with that interesting swap
6195s to Soldier give the pans out without the
6197s May it is a more open map I suppose ant
6200s major is committed by K goes down
6202s through it in fact captive Sun Now by
6204s coud trying to equalize it they're able
6206s to get forarts with some nice maze shots
6208s fromy and oh my God goodbye see you guys
6212s back at spawn Japan have brought it back
6216s and with this final kill on the surma
6217s Jed they bring us to round number three
6220s yeah the soldier pick wasn't really
6224s voluntary unfortunately like you're not
6227s doing it to try and counter something
6228s specifically you pick the soldier
6230s because cuz he has the passive where you
6232s know you can run faster and regroup
6235s faster that is the reason why we saw
6238s Ubie off of the May onto the soldier it
6241s was purely for Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
6243s to be able to regroup as quickly as
6245s possible because they knew they didn't
6246s have ultimat they knew that team Japan
6248s had a lead in terms of that point
6250s percentage as well they needed to be
6251s able to regroup and pickart a player
6253s from Team Japan on the approach they can
6256s not just keep themselves ahead in terms
6257s of that point percentage but also buy
6260s themselves the time to be to build up
6261s those ultimates that did not happen now
6264s yet again we are going to see U on that
6266s may quartz on the Bas KSG decides to go
6270s out on the sigma cookie however hanging
6272s back wanting to get a read on the
6273s composition they're running into opts
6275s for the echo to try and dive into the
6277s back line but there's nothing really to
6280s buy himself the distraction to be able
6282s to find that attention especially since
6284s your sigas W off and that's lamp already
6287s but gets P MOX you talked about it with
6289s me they just use their Sigma as a bait
6291s there KSG they eventually have niik on
6294s the flank just getting all of those
6296s kills because so much so many of the
6298s eyes of Saudi Arabia just looking away
6300s from him teret does find q but can they
6304s find anything more U on the inside is
6305s eventually be tracked out by n who has
6307s been phenomenal quartz in the main side
6309s does kill him but Japan already have
6310s that point yeah this like you said it's
6313s exactly the thing that team Japan did
6315s against Team France yesterday on Samoa
6317s at downtown funly enough we're also on
6320s downtown
6321s ofan and they're using the exact same
6324s strategy they leave the sigma out they
6326s know that he's going to be safe with the
6327s morality field even if he gets W away
6329s and it provides both the Echo and the
6331s bashing control of The High Ground to
6333s jump on to a player of Kingdom of Saudi
6335s Arabia unnoticed now however the gig is
6338s up King of Saudi Arabia know to expect
6341s the bait they don't pull for it they
6343s wait for team Japan's DPS players to try
6345s to pressure and that's when they pce
6348s every every Bastion player just cracked
6349s now they come back capture that 33% and
6352s now Saudi Arabians are the ones that
6353s have to
6354s hold team Japan coming in pretty close
6358s to some of those ultimate courts also
6360s going to have that artillery strike but
6361s it's the blizzard that Kingdom of Saudi
6364s Arabia are going to be so happy to have
6365s because it monopolizes so much of that
6368s space wall off the main side where kg
6371s was coming through gets bashed well as
6373s he falls low toward the St with the rock
6376s to hit him meanwhile immortality field
6378s used from Japan so that no longer
6381s available artillery strike after that
6383s runs out is trying to find some kills
6385s but only finds a little bit of damage
6387s thean walks in with the ant Matrix Ki
6389s melts KSA with the help of the rest of
6392s his team no longer the Saudi Arabia have
6395s a tank here suret able to find one the
6396s rally on the point ub did drop that
6398s blizzard however doesn't look like
6399s they're finding enough kills the sustain
6402s is far too much for Japan here as well
6404s they find the St kill on the U fli the
6406s point team Japan actually have to Rally
6409s as well towards the tail end of that
6411s fight and now they're not going to have
6412s any support ultimates Kingdom of Saudi
6415s Arabia they've got the flux to drop the
6416s health bars low enough but they have the
6418s sound bar to be able to capitalize on
6420s that momentum and push forward
6422s aggressively that all goes out the
6423s window however if you don't have control
6425s of The High Ground K is able to find
6428s pick I mean go for a fast engage with
6430s this gri blocks waiting to beat as well
6433s off of it until KSG pops his own but
6435s they're not going to be able need to be
6436s dropped this case he just went down
6438s after sa just walked in no more for
6441s Japan now I mean they're just going to
6442s slowly Whittle way towards the point
6444s just look to stagger maybe find a kill
6446s kill on the outside looking for quartz
6448s maybe no he goes down so does Nico in
6451s the rest of Japan back to the spawn they
6453s go at
6454s 74% yeah Haku knew that he did not need
6457s to beat because mint had used the rally
6460s in the last fight there is no way for
6461s team Japan's toiles to rise and as a
6464s result he gets to hold on to it to be
6465s able to counter the flux coming through
6468s from KSG in the entrance of this next
6470s fight Min even going to go onto the
6471s mercy now try and pocket cookie on the
6474s echo so that they can find a pick
6476s without just ignoring any of the
6478s ultimate deficit between the two teams
6480s we've seen qus work his magic against
6482s Mercy players can he do it again today
6485s flux by KD be dro the counter from Haku
6487s they also have an ant Matrix to support
6489s them do they have the damage to find
6491s anybody Japan actually get us hide
6493s around this this is amazing team play
6495s for them to avoid both support ultimates
6497s quartz also still has that artillery
6499s strike available but will have the
6501s ultimate advantage in just a second 88%
6504s on the board Boop off the top from Haku
6506s artillery strike now comes back through
6508s cour be thought they would stuck back on
6509s The High Ground is going to slowly work
6512s those shrikes into the back of Japan
6515s Cofe comes through from Qi KD fall Sol
6517s low but he lives on the inside angle
6518s from some support but the blizzard here
6520s shuts him down for now quz is there with
6522s the fall up as well n's able to trade
6524s one but I don't know if anybody could
6525s even touch for Japan it looks like no
6528s Saudi Arabia will take map number one
6531s yeah team Japan tried the exact same
6533s strategy right the sigma drops down
6535s first forces out that immortality field
6538s from your side yes but he's also been
6540s isolated by the mayol the thing is for
6542s team Saudi Arabia they can afford to
6545s actually try to go for the sigma knowing
6547s that it's a bait play because they have
6549s the blizzard so even if they're going to
6551s start losing some of their players
6553s they're still going to be able to drop
6554s the blizzard and cut team Japan off from
6556s rotating onto point and even if they win
6559s the fight if they can't tap that point
6561s and keep it contested the map ends
6563s regardless it's great work from Saudi
6566s Arabia but the desk was probably right
6568s when this was going to be a close game
6569s where go back look at everything that
6571s happened in this map in particular I
6574s mean it was such a back and forth brawl
6575s besides Mecha base where obviously you
6577s know team Saudi Arabia had a really good
6579s game plan mhm I mean they had a really
6582s good composition to be able to hold on
6583s to those chokes yeah like that M just
6586s does so much work this captive son here
6589s is absolutely Ely devastating catching
6592s on to both of those players pushing them
6594s to hide behind the pillars they overlap
6597s as well in terms of those hit boxes so
6599s the captive Sun then passes on to
6601s another player and then detonates once
6604s an additional damage has been dealt like
6606s aari is so strong at being able to box
6609s those players into spaces they really
6610s don't want to be in and meanwhile quartz
6612s had some fantastic tracking there on
6614s Bastion on the third round and also sa
6616s the Saudi Arabian team put themselves in
6618s a great position team Japan however on
6620s the other side going to pick Route 66
6622s maybe thinking that team Saudi Arabia
6624s will be a little bit lackluster on this
6626s map but we'll have to see after a short
6628s break for this map number two guys don't
6629s go anywhere we got a barn bur on our
6649s hands
6651s [Music]
6666s [Music]
6725s [Music]
6736s [Applause]
6738s [Music]
6817s [Music]
6829s n
6830s [Music]
6840s welcome back everybody we have a close
6842s series between team Japan and team Saudi
6845s Arabia in which Saudi Arabia obviously
6847s just won map number one you know in a
6850s pretty decisive Fashion on Mecha base
6852s but the other two rounds definitely were
6853s not that close I think the desk was
6855s right to believe in Japan but obviously
6858s you know team Saudi Arabia are in it to
6860s win it today Moxy and uh you know
6862s obviously both as you can see just on
6864s the screen some of the players are kind
6866s of swapping in and out we've got some
6868s subs kind of coming through for both
6870s teams in fact for the next map route 66
6873s team Saudi Arabia first obviously are
6875s going to sub out Haku of all people for
6877s labda which is surprising considering
6880s labda is a fantastic phah player maybe
6882s not known for his support as much but
6884s maybe today I'll whip out something neat
6887s I don't know box what do you think about
6888s the lab do support pick
6890s I mean we've we've what we've seen the
6893s WAP tast for Del Moon we've seen the
6896s bone back for Anna what what do we going
6898s to call lab I mean we have to wait and
6900s see what support hero he's going to be
6902s playing but Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are
6904s not the only team with a couple of swaps
6906s coming through team Japan is also mixing
6909s up their roster mihawk has been woken
6912s from his snap he is now coming in to the
6916s lineup to you know shoot a couple of
6918s people cut up some boats and do you know
6920s what Dustin he's all out of boats this
6922s is sure to be a really good Showdown as
6925s we've also got Plankton coming into the
6927s tank lineup as we head over to our next
6929s map and since team Japan had lost that
6932s control map they get the advantage of
6935s taking us to this map that we go to next
6938s surely they've got a specific game plan
6940s in mind but you know what they might be
6943s a little bit frown a little bit
6944s flustered by the swap coming through cuz
6947s when we normally see lb he's like okay
6949s they going to be playing far or Echo so
6952s we're going to put our off tank in to be
6953s able to play something like the diva
6955s we're going to have our hit cam pick up
6956s something like Cy or an ash maybe even
6959s try and match projectiles with an echo a
6961s far of your own what do you do when lab
6964s do in the support rule I don't know like
6967s what maybe just win cuz he's not good at
6969s support I'm just we don't know we don't
6972s know maybe he is good at support Justin
6973s I'm I'm pretty sure that when we've
6975s actually seen DPS players Flex onto
6977s support roles in the World Cup so far
6980s they no they have a 100% win rate okay
6982s that's cuz they got carried by their
6983s team won his
6985s map
6986s W backone is like actually a good
6989s support player though that's like that's
6990s different all right that's he's a
6992s support player first isn't he like he's
6994s good he's a good support I don't know
6996s he's like a top 10 support in the world
6997s maybe even you know am I wrong wrong in
7000s saying that MOX he's good but listen lab
7003s this is it's it's more crazy Lambda
7005s switching over to support though
7006s wouldn't you agree oh absolutely because
7009s like we said lav is normally an echo and
7012s a far and that means projectiles that
7014s doesn't really cross over easily to
7016s something like an Anna or a Baptist but
7017s we'll have to see as it does look like
7019s we're probably going to get to see a
7020s couple of highlights coming through from
7023s the matches that have been played so far
7024s because Dustin we've seen a lot of
7028s really good plays coming through from
7030s both of these teams qu picking up that
7032s Bastion absolutely melting through with
7035s the help of that amplification Matrix
7037s and you can see as well KSA in the front
7040s line doing his job creating so much
7042s distraction that no one keeps an eye on
7044s the Bastion and as a result everyone
7046s falls down yeah courts is absolutely one
7049s of the best players one of the best hit
7050s scan players in the world and you know
7052s obviously proving it on the world stage
7055s today and you know that's why I mean
7057s they're doing some interesting Subs on
7058s both sides as well with Plankton coming
7060s through on the tank Moxy I mean what do
7063s you think the strategy is coming to
7064s Route 66 cuz obviously it's going to
7066s play quite differently than than the
7067s likes of Busan yeah normally from Team
7071s Japan we've seen KSG he's been very much
7074s their their forward tank player right
7076s he's been playing the doomfist who are
7078s really crazy degree as well as the sigma
7081s so very excited to see what exactly team
7083s Japan are going to be Fielding maybe
7085s this is when we're going to see them
7086s actually push towards something like a
7088s dive composition coming through
7090s something like a Winston or a diva if
7091s you think about how Route 66 is there's
7094s a lot of high ground you also have to
7096s remember as well we are playing on
7098s reworked route 66 which I am incredibly
7102s happy about because that means that the
7103s doors don't immediately close shot when
7106s I'm trying to line of sight all of my
7108s wonderful teammates in front of me as
7111s Anna we'll see what happens on this map
7114s in particular obviously Japan you know
7116s maybe going to play a bit of a different
7118s play style considering the fact that
7121s they have plankton in as well and you
7124s know I I don't know am I am I rocking
7125s the storyline a bit too much Moxy with
7127s the fact that labda on support is insane
7129s like i i Japan surely are going to take
7131s advantage of that right I mean that's
7133s unless there's a set strategy for Saudi
7135s Arabia I've never seen this guy Play
7137s support yeah it's definitely a cur for
7139s for sure and that is going to be
7141s something that is probably going to
7142s throw a lot of these players because I
7145s mean these teams these coaches these
7146s analysts everyone behind the scenes have
7149s been just screaming so much practicing
7152s watching through all of these bods like
7154s the desk talked about because uh Team
7157s Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is essentially
7159s Twisted Minds there is a lot of tape on
7162s this team on all of these different
7164s strategies that they use and that is a
7167s huge Advantage for these teams when
7169s they're coming into the World Cup
7170s looking to prepare looking to try and
7172s figure out how exactly they're going to
7174s try and take this team down and the one
7177s thing that you can do that immediately
7178s swerves all of that preparation is by
7181s throwing in such a curveball as having
7184s your Echo and farar player coming out on
7188s a support role
7190s I'm so curious to see how he does and
7192s you know on top of things Moxy you know
7194s both of these teams obviously preparing
7196s a lot for this tournament doing a lot of
7197s scrimmages and practices against each
7199s other right I mean a lot of the viewers
7202s of the stream maybe not understand that
7203s you know these players are always going
7204s through hours of scrims of practice to
7207s get ready for this to win the World Cup
7210s and get this trophy both of these teams
7212s all of these teams competing really want
7215s that baby in their pocket not their
7217s pocket it's a big thing huh I mean
7218s they'll probably have have it on their
7220s shelf hopefully not collecting some dust
7221s maybe showing off yeah at One World Cup
7224s you think any of the P trophy case you
7225s think Super does that you buy a trophy
7227s case if you pick up that trophy you buy
7230s a trophy case dedicated to it and you
7232s put it at like the front door like the
7235s second that you open the front door and
7237s walk into the hallway you want that to
7239s immediately be on display for everyone
7241s who walks into your house hopefully it
7243s won't be like the early days of uh of r/
7246s double LIF tropy case but uh you know
7248s maybe it is maybe for both these teams
7250s obviously neither have won World Cup
7251s just yet so kind of looking like dl's
7254s trophy case Route 66 the second map work
7257s going to Moxy unfortunately it's not
7259s Icebreaker I would have like to see a
7260s boat and mihawk in the same frame
7262s huh I mean that boat already has a hole
7265s in it I I don't I don't know that's one
7268s that mihawk's already prepared earlier
7271s all right yeah maybe maybe defensive
7273s side Japan OB just rolling out with this
7275s composition with the sigma for Plankton
7278s instead uh interesting enough you know
7281s having that sub come through also mihawk
7284s on the Anna meanwhile Saudi Arabia
7285s obviously have a bit of time to decide
7287s what composition they want until we get
7290s to see the run it back of KSA on the
7292s road hog the last time we got to see
7294s this guy on the road hog we were
7296s literally moving into OverWatch 2 off of
7298s the back of OverWatch one and at the
7300s very beginning of junker Queen on
7302s release M at not there it is there we go
7304s I going to say he ran the road hog to be
7306s able to counter the Jun Queen given the
7309s fact that she has has no way of being
7310s able to block that hook unfortunately
7312s Sigma does have a shield that he's able
7314s to put out in front of him so KSA will
7316s mirror Plankton on that match up ran
7320s team moving towards that payload labda
7322s over the top on Baptist actually I think
7324s I have seen him as on Baptist before is
7326s a pretty good have keast in his own
7329s right A lot of these DPS players are
7330s like you mentioned Moxy uh sa ravan team
7333s actually moving forward underneath the
7335s bridge giv some space here meanwhile you
7337s be sticking towards that symmetra of
7339s picks under the gas station already just
7341s constantly spamming those right clicks
7342s which were believe just recently buffed
7345s H Cloud just drops down below near the
7347s billboard side Plankton able to find
7349s labda mihawk is well on the UV so
7352s immediately out of nowhere Saudi Arabian
7355s team get wiped by Japan for The High
7357s Ground angles yeah kie taking that jeel
7360s against Sigma punishing again just like
7362s Diva the fact that that shift does not
7366s burn out the focusing beam and as a
7369s result there's just so much pressure on
7371s KSA shoulders from the echo especially
7373s given the fact that U like you said
7374s scking on that symmetra trying to just
7377s cross out the mega health pack for team
7379s Japan to try and take advantage of if
7381s they do get pressured by some of this
7382s poke coming through from quarts
7384s teleporter on to the inside oh
7386s aggressive flank from suren n no it's a
7389s bit too thick hits the wall doesn't go
7392s through nanab Boost also still being
7393s built KSA does have control of that
7395s objective Japan realizing the situation
7396s they want to go forward Nico finds lapa
7398s again early two times in a row now the
7402s DPS player turn se4 has been picked now
7404s flanked it on the inside early pre the
7406s Sleep Guard from mihawk thinking
7407s somebody's going to take that teleport
7408s quartz though does trade back Nico who
7411s found his teammate earlier the cart's
7412s still being pushed by the way mihawk
7413s drops the an grenade onto courtz but is
7415s the damage there mihawk has the nanab
7418s Boost huki huge kill to find Sur able to
7420s find mihawk but it's after he got the
7422s nanab Boost captive Sun by surma CU
7425s buying the value on the low ground
7426s doesn't look like it just yet too loud
7429s his own KSA catches Q out in the sky as
7432s well but eventually in the sky Q out
7434s finds quartz amazing shot from him
7436s counter flux from the likes of Japan
7439s catches all of the side of Saudi Arabia
7442s they get wiped once more and we have a
7444s minute 45 seconds left on the claw great
7447s play from cloud as well he's actually
7449s able to use his pylon to negate all of
7452s that damage coming through from ksa's
7455s Sigma flux and as a result the allari
7457s stays standing and team Japan still have
7460s both of their supports online Kingdom of
7462s Saudi Arabia coming in with an overclock
7465s will have the symmetra wall to be able
7466s to block out some of this pke from both
7468s the Echo and the soan on the other side
7469s and they drop it immediately on the
7471s engagement there's that wall blankin
7473s waiting to use that gratic flux now he
7475s goes for it round the shield making sure
7477s no stun can come through courts able to
7479s find mihawk though UB go solo does have
7482s the double pocket on the back side as
7483s well with a minute left remaining UB
7484s goes to the mega health pack realizing
7486s it's gone but gartz over the top been
7488s able to do so much is able to find one
7490s but I mean you can't do much there when
7493s courtz is hitting the shots he is Saudi
7495s Arabia will capture point a and look for
7497s stagger kills on Japan oh yep that's
7501s going to be a stagger on toari that's
7504s really unfortunate team Japan now going
7507s to be lacking that ultimate that they
7509s wanted to be able to force Kingdom of
7511s Saudi Arabia to playing a little bit
7513s more defensively as you can see they
7515s know that thei is not in position
7517s they're immediately going to teleport
7518s onto the
7520s now quartz gets to be the one that fires
7522s first every single time these
7523s engagements occur right I mean just
7525s setting up quartz making sure he is in
7527s position to succeed Plankton walks out
7531s takes a little of that pressure Nico
7533s goes forward nice captive on from K out
7535s just the shut down course also Sher gets
7537s hit has the immortality field so even if
7539s that blows up he surely will stay alive
7541s KSA is able to find mihawk too so R
7544s actually dealing with the ultimates of
7546s Japan relatively well oh my God
7548s overclock by Nico can even find the kill
7550s on the L down he is eventually lavda
7552s will go down overclock is too much to
7554s deal for that Baptist player buto going
7555s aggressive into ub's beam they able to
7558s trade it back though Qi able to get one
7561s also on to KSA L courtz with the
7562s overclock of his own over the top gets
7565s the damage in Plankton also has surma
7567s jet there and we're getting a pause mid
7569s team fight twoo as it looks like Saudi
7572s Arabia are winning that team fight and
7574s Japan kind of going for a soft reset
7576s yeah so that was a very aggressive play
7578s yeah from Team Japan with that serjan
7581s power slide but it's actually incredibly
7583s similar to what they did with their
7585s Sigma both yesterday against France and
7587s also in the first map when we were
7589s seeing them use that Sigma to just bait
7592s out a lot of the aggression and forward
7594s positions coming through from Team Saudi
7595s Arabia cuz what it basically does is it
7598s dangles the sojan on a string saying
7600s okay you can get this player but the
7602s sojan before you go down actually does
7605s enough damage to push their health bars
7608s below 50 50% and that then gives the go
7612s sign for your Echo to come with the
7614s focusing beam because remember Echo is
7617s absolutely terrifying any time that your
7620s health is below 50% because it means
7623s that that focusing beam does 75 damage
7626s per second instead of 50 going back in
7629s now and you need see Japan at least for
7631s Japan side they need to really get a
7632s hold here look at Yuki yeah he's hiding
7635s he's hiding he's stopping the card
7636s actually so they should know he's there
7638s now he the back up because he's checked
7641s by the likes of Saudi Arabia courtz Over
7643s The High Ground as well just checking on
7645s the inside Plankton has to come back all
7646s the way from Spawn still allowing Saudi
7650s Arabia to kind of get this or momentum
7652s nades committed onto sured can't get the
7655s kill on him either has the heals over
7657s the top though so he's not punished
7659s perfect positioning from the ls of kuki
7662s also very close to an Ultimate N
7663s avilable for Japan goes for it on the
7666s echo Plankton goes so low and he falls
7668s Muki will trade back suret also an
7670s amazing sleep Dart from mihawk CI there
7673s with the follow up in the nanus courtz
7675s though able to get one does he have
7678s enough team help here he's got labed on
7679s the Baptista pocket him but there's too
7681s many shields in his face at the moment
7682s labed actually pops the ultimate kuki
7684s gets taken out of the copy and quartz
7686s gets the shot and KSA is putting this
7688s cart into the objective now they have 2
7691s minutes and 45 seconds in the last phase
7693s and the Stagger kills on top of it
7696s there's that star power that we know I'm
7699s love from EMA contenders court on
7702s absolute fire at the moment with the
7704s soldier and L coming in absolutely
7706s clutch as well with the amplification
7708s Matrix as KSA is able to pick up that
7710s point and take us to point C UB again
7713s has that symmetra wall to make this
7715s engagement a little bit safer from all
7717s the Poke andest coming through from Team
7719s Japan is cloud unfortunately not going
7723s to be able to save kie from the sojan
7726s yeah I mean you're talking about before
7727s quartz nice shot from him now the card
7730s still pushing forward entering last F
7732s territory for likes of Saudi Arabia
7734s overclock also available and the shield
7736s this captive Sun's got to be huge for Q
7739s loud if Japan wants a chance they drop
7740s the shield first though Saudi Arabia
7742s into the overclock captive sun to the
7743s sky actually looks for the sojourn
7745s courtz gets hit looks like comes on the
7748s outside as well still healthy and takes
7750s down CI in the sky that was the carry of
7752s Japan planked gravitic flux from him
7756s it's the damage through Nico's able to
7758s take out U but Surs found cloud and
7760s Saudi Arabia still have that person
7762s advantage in this fight as well nanab
7764s still available from Japan they're
7766s healthy on the outside taking it slow
7768s but they lose Nico oh no that's a
7770s horrific pick for Japan n was still
7773s available they use it on Qi goes into
7775s the sky needs to find a kill cour is
7776s able to get one on the plank an
7777s immortality field here and anti hits but
7779s the peel is far too much surma with his
7781s own Captain Suns SP k out quartz finds
7784s mihawk Nigo comes in to do nothing at
7787s this point in Saia r cture out with a
7789s minute and 11 seconds yeah Kingdom of
7792s Saudi Arabia just forcing team Japan
7795s into trying to contest with that Nano
7798s boosted Echo and as a result that
7799s payload continues to move unfortunately
7802s there only respawning members who are
7804s going to be able to actually make it
7806s onto the payload and try and stop it
7808s from picking up that finish line and
7809s that just does not happen Kingdom of Sai
7813s Arabia will be able to full push with
7815s time still left in their Bank as well
7818s team Japan we're able to slow them down
7821s a lot of the way through a lot of it
7823s coming down to them being able to
7825s control all of those Lanes towards A and
7828s B so it was a lot of a faster push now
7832s team Japan have to be able to set a
7834s blistering Pace themselves cuz if they
7835s get slowed down at any point in this map
7837s Dustin it's not going to be a fun time
7839s for any involved yeah I mean you call it
7842s exactly what I think is that by the way
7844s we look back at the highlights quartz
7846s was doing so much work but you you can
7848s have as good of a point hold on a you
7851s know as any team like like Japan did
7853s Japan held for like 2 minutes on first
7855s point but if you can't even get a single
7857s team fight win on streets or last like
7860s it's just not going to go well for you
7862s it's obviously not going to go well for
7863s you against the ls of Courts doing what
7865s he did on soge yeah I mean a lot of it
7867s as well was down to yub just coming into
7869s the symmetra walls at the very very
7871s start right because it means that you
7873s don't get those poke kills coming
7876s through you don't have to worry about
7878s okay maybe going to get picked off by
7879s the echo on engagement maybe we're going
7881s to get picked off by an allari on
7883s engagement or sojan with that alt fire
7885s where you're constantly having to not
7888s just alt track but also alt gun fire
7891s track as well and whenever I talk to
7893s support players who were traditionally
7895s the players who are supposed to try an
7897s alt track and ALT fire track the thing
7899s that they say is the most annoying about
7901s running into a sojen is having to double
7903s up on those counts yeah you're right for
7906s sure and by the way we're having a bit
7907s of a pause here for looks like labda
7911s fixing his audio issue leading into this
7914s next M or this map I guess the half uh
7917s in which Saudi Arabia have that lead
7918s right on first point you would think
7920s Moxy do the likes of Saudi Arabia even
7922s mix things up I know symmetra maybe not
7924s as good on the defensive side but are
7926s you going to run it again if your team
7927s Saudi Arabia well it depends how you
7930s want to play your defense right if
7931s you're worried about that poke phase
7933s coming through then you can use the
7935s symmetra teleport to just side step a
7937s lot of it right the way that we UB on
7939s point a the time that Kingdom of Saudi
7941s Arabia took to actually try and put
7943s those pushes together was because they
7945s were waiting for things like the cool
7946s downs and also for yub to be able to
7947s teleport into a position that he can try
7950s and distract team Japan allowing and
7952s buying the rest of the team a little bit
7953s more freedom of movement and it looks
7956s like Kingdom of Saudi Arabia want that
7957s freedom of movement they don't have the
7959s Lucio if they want to be able to out
7960s rotate this Echo and the potential
7962s flanks coming through from Clyde on the
7964s arari and Nik on the sojan they need the
7966s teleport to be able to get themselves
7968s safely and quickly around the map P
7971s setting planked and up towards the upper
7973s cave side oh my God Nico gets chunk as
7976s soon as peing the corner a symmetra
7979s right click doing a ton of
7981s work they try to push that payload 30
7983s seconds already off the clock Japan
7986s building towards those support ultimates
7988s because they're taking some of that poke
7990s thma Jet and quartz on the Left Flank
7992s just against Kow kuki comes through to
7995s try to help his support player but a lot
7997s of that help p is lost ni though comes
8000s through from the main side Ser gets
8001s poked down but showing that professional
8004s support prow West is almost able to keep
8006s quartz alive but Ki eventually will find
8008s it and on to sermet as well so nice 2K
8012s from Ki now it's just stagger clean up
8014s here I mean they've guard got the cart
8016s push Ki finds three could he find every
8018s single kill here potentially he does
8021s that's four for him in that fight and
8022s Japan looked awesome on that engage yeah
8025s and fast as well that's huge because
8028s both of the these compositions are
8029s trying to out poke each other to find
8031s those first picks whoever loses the
8033s fight especially the attacking team is
8034s going to be so much out of time in
8037s comparison and because they're able to
8039s find those picks and the Stagg is off at
8041s the back of it the think of Saudi Arabia
8043s have to give up point a and they're
8044s still getting stagger they wanted to try
8046s and recu met teleport and team Japan
8049s read it out go aggressive with the
8051s captive Sun from cloud and stop them in
8053s their tracks yeah SOLO aled C J there
8056s lab is able to take CI but it's after
8059s the point was captured 4 minutes and 40
8061s seconds left here team Saudi Arabia got
8063s some ultimates for this one MOX they've
8065s got high ground as well we saw how
8068s important having that High Ground can be
8070s for the soan to be able to control the
8073s tempo of the defending team's
8075s engagements because Kingdom of Saudi
8076s Arabia have been able to claim it they
8078s are trying now to keep Nico in check oh
8081s TP into right click but huki after he go
8085s for that kill went for that kill
8086s grenades connect onto U so it's Ste one
8089s for one on the outside as well does have
8091s the copy so if he does go low can
8093s immediately do it C has not been stopped
8094s it now goes for the copy asori hit by
8097s the captain Sun as well but does have a
8099s lot of healing on the inside in fact
8100s surma dead goes low but oh my God the
8103s captain Sun took out cloud and then
8106s eventually about the copy as well of
8108s course after out of the copy Q ke came
8111s they able able to get that kill lab do
8113s wall on nio and yeah this is going to be
8115s a wipe now for the likes of Japan Saudi
8118s Arabia have a good hole here off of
8119s double support ultimate yeah full reset
8122s coming through from Team Japan Plankton
8123s off of the map to not give ultimate
8125s charge mihawk just standing still so he
8127s doesn't get staggered out from the rest
8129s of his team Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with
8131s this High Ground Control they've also
8132s got the symmetra turrets set up as well
8135s of Team Japan try and dive onto that
8137s High Ground to take it away from quartz
8139s this is going to be really tough for
8141s team Japan to break without using an
8142s ultimate they don't have the Nano boost
8144s they do have the captive F we've also
8146s got plankton with the signal qu is
8148s looking for that off angle he's been
8150s spotted out but he's still an absolute
8153s form in the side of Team Japan because
8155s there so much time that they're spending
8158s having to make sure he doesn't pick
8159s someone off and approach Jaan going for
8161s the flux above the building connects on
8163s to everybody but they have double lamp
8164s here or they have a lamp in a pylon
8166s rather KSA able to find ni 2 seret over
8169s the top able to get two with the
8170s overclock from quartz a lot of or at
8173s least the overclock committed in the
8174s symmetra wall with their grav glux for
8177s team Saudi Arabia giving them this fight
8179s win in a nice 4K for sur really smart
8182s stuff coming through from U using that
8184s symmetra to keep everyone safe when the
8186s sigma flux comes through it also means
8189s as well that s Jed's pylon is not
8192s immediately chunked down by KI on the
8194s echo who's been trying to send as many
8196s stickies as possible to take that pylon
8199s onto cool down as much as he possibly
8201s can because look court gets to play
8203s Super aggressively because the pylon is
8205s out of line of sight if he takes any in
8208s his he the P immedately heals him back
8210s up and he gets so much more space in
8212s comparison to ni oh my gosh he just ran
8215s onto Nico on the inside there too lavda
8217s does get his lamp off to avoid the
8219s follow through damage of the captive Sun
8222s negating Japan's engage since they're
8223s down Plankton at the moment this going
8225s to be rough mihawk does find lav at the
8227s very least but there's far too much
8229s healing here far many to far too many
8231s people for team Saudi Arabia ki's able
8234s to get one gets the copy too so he's
8237s going a little bit crazy at the moment
8239s does get taken out of the copy by Quartz
8240s and killed so CI is able to find quartz
8244s finally they shut him down but that card
8246s is so far back here team Saudi Arabia
8248s still have a solid defensive hold here
8250s they still haven't def that High Ground
8252s from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's control
8254s either they do have the Nan boost to
8255s give on to kuki so that the echo can try
8257s and jump onto someone but p is pulling
8260s incredibly low kuki has to be able to
8262s pull this plank off and he's not able to
8264s bait out immortality field oh my god
8266s with the overclock ni's able to find one
8268s surma dead with the cap the sun does get
8270s mihawk and also U finds Q f is being
8274s pushed but a minute left so far forz
8277s gets The High Ground to has that pocket
8279s Plankton goes low needs that support so
8281s that's going to leave Nico exposed
8284s towards the make a health pack I mean
8285s he's going to have to run with some cool
8287s Downs in a second he does so but look
8288s who's coming up with the gravitic flux
8290s it's KSA and lapa finds two for free now
8293s they just run to the inside 47 seconds
8295s left gravitic flux available and they're
8297s up a remember Saudi Arabia looking to go
8300s on the inside make a health pack Cloud
8302s actually finds lavda so that's one NCO
8305s also gets a connection onto lavda or
8307s onto suret into the sky with the captive
8310s suncloud goes but courtz finds him in
8313s the sky even without using his overclock
8315s but he's the last one here for team
8316s Saudi Arabia as he just tries to live on
8318s the outside eventually Qi will find him
8320s do they recontest here Moxy with Al if
8323s they try and go through these alleys
8325s they play into planks and with the Hy
8327s he's going to be able to to use that to
8329s build into that gratic plux to stop them
8331s from trying to tap but with the S
8333s teleport can fake out this position and
8335s jum onto the back line yeah they
8337s actually use it to connect on Theo too
8340s goes down but cuki does find one
8341s overclock over the top from quarts here
8343s he goes cuki dead Plankton dead onto the
8347s rest of Team Japan they're out of here I
8350s mean it's just mihawk left and
8352s unfortunately no anime Powers today team
8355s Saudi Arabia 20 vict
8358s over Japan yeah not quite the power of
8361s friendship but definitely the power of
8362s rail gun the fact is even when you're
8365s using something like an ultimate where
8367s you think okay we're immediately going
8368s to have an advantage you gave quartz a
8371s bird's eye
8373s view on that soan and he gets to see
8376s everybody and you have to remember as
8378s well they're running the Anna not the
8379s Baptist so they don't even have any
8381s imortality field to be able to put down
8384s for themselves the second at the sigma
8386s Al goes out and Court just start
8388s shooting and doesn't stop until the map
8390s is done yeah and Moxy I want to see if
8392s you agree with me here I mean it feels
8393s like both of these teams obviously team
8395s Saudi Arabia got the 20 win but they
8397s have a very similar play style right
8398s it's like that awkward DPS carry kind of
8402s thing and it's happening with both teams
8404s obviously Saudi Arabia have a very good
8405s team but they both have kind of awkward
8407s play Styles right it's going to be a
8408s hard matchup yeah I mean like you said
8411s this is a team that very much know how
8413s to play around their DPS hyper carries
8415s you look at Twisted Minds the way that
8417s they give so many different leg UPS to
8418s either quartz U or labda and you were
8421s seeing it quartz was getting so so many
8424s abilities the fact that Pilon was
8426s basically reserved on cool down for that
8428s high ground on point B that was just
8430s allowing courts to go as aggressive as
8432s he wanted because of the absolute insane
8435s amount of reach that that pylon has all
8438s the way across the map and since it's
8439s always out of line of sight the only way
8443s that unfortunately team Japan were able
8445s to try and contest it was if they
8446s sacrificed the e shift and stickies to
8450s try and remove it with a high vantage
8452s point of their own yeah and I know the
8454s desk all predicted for Japan but we
8456s still had a close good series although
8458s it was a 2 for team Saudi Arabia desk
8460s what do you have to say about that
8461s series it was a fun one at the very
8464s least it sure was Dustin and Moxy thank
8468s you guys so much for calling all the
8470s action H great first look for team Saudi
8474s Arabia and that should make everyone
8476s who's cheering them on very excited for
8478s the matches moving forward what what
8482s explosive DPS performances on that team
8484s I mean quartz guys way left and right in
8487s front and center let's take a look at
8488s the highlights to see how uh Kingdom of
8490s Saudi Arabia got the victory here Johnny
8493s I mean this is kind of what we expected
8495s uh sure there was a little bit of opium
8497s here on the desk
8499s oh 100% I'm fuels I'm like I'm up on
8503s hopium is like 10% water 90% hopium yeah
8507s this fragrance fragrance of opium in the
8509s air at least in my room where I'm
8511s sitting over here I don't know about you
8512s guys but yeah quite a bit of hopium for
8514s Japan they were a little fun yesterday
8516s but I mean Saudi Arabia were the
8518s favorites going into this map I mean
8520s they've dominated in European contenders
8523s all year and they kind of keep that up
8525s in this match up right here as well
8527s quartz on the soier looking really good
8530s they didn't even care that they didn't
8531s get to play some of these very strong
8533s far Maps which is their kind of go-to
8535s style right like they can get it done in
8537s this kind of double Flex support with
8539s the lari soldier in style too right so
8541s great initial look for Saudi Arabia kind
8543s of as expected um I think they are the
8546s team that is expected to get through
8548s this group along with the United States
8550s yeah Team USA and I think Saudi Arabia
8552s are the favorites move out of the group
8554s you know Japan tried I love how uh
8556s Dustin at the end said that power of
8558s anime wasn't in love but hey we're still
8561s we're still rooting for Japan you know
8562s they're they're fun it's enough to to
8565s get us on board you know to to predict
8567s story Japan at least but yeah we
8569s expected this and so much more uh coming
8572s out of the game and I think both teams
8573s absolutely delivered now of course
8576s Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Japan are
8578s both finding themselves with one W Japan
8580s taking their first L and uh that means
8583s we only are left with having to take a
8586s look at USA from that group so that is
8588s going to happen and we're very excited
8590s for that however for our next match
8593s we're heading back to group a so that is
8596s going to come up and also one once again
8597s I want to remind everyone to get
8599s involved you know join in on the
8601s conversation let us know who you're
8602s cheering for who's your favorite player

8918s what's up friends we are getting ready
8920s for match number three of day two in the
8922s ore World Cup 2023 group stages there
8926s are being played in a round Rubin format
8928s so every team gets to face off against
8930s every team the two teams we see coming
8933s up have already had their first games in
8935s day number one unfortunately both of
8937s them had to take a l there so it will
8940s remain exciting to see which one gets
8942s the first W and here is what they're
8944s playing for we have of course a crowd
8948s funded price pool on the line this time
8949s around which means up until the very end
8952s we do not know how much money is on the
8955s line which is very very exciting you too
8957s can contribute and support your players
8959s by purchasing this wonderful bundle
8962s which includes the two skins you're
8963s seeing featured here uh weapon charms uh
8966s that's uh that's Johnny's favorite as I
8969s just learned oh the name cards are cool
8971s too the name
8972s cards any name cards uh enthusiasts in
8975s chat let us know uh I'm I'm just excited
8979s to rock those skins I'm a skin kind of
8981s person you know but I I'm excited I'm
8983s excited for everything I'm just an
8985s excited person I guess like that's is it
8987s I'm also excited for groups that's right
8989s here are the groups we have uh we nearly
8993s saw all the teams the only thing left
8996s for us to be seen is the team from China
8998s and of course Team USA everyone else has
9002s already played their first matches and
9004s those two teams that I just mentioned
9005s will be having a go at it today as well
9008s now heading into our next match as I
9012s already said Mexico and Colombia both of
9015s them took a l yesterday today but
9017s arguably against the two teams in their
9019s group which we all expect to come out on
9022s top so I very much hope that this is
9023s going to be a more even playing field
9025s for both of them let's take a look at
9027s the starting lineup starting with Team
9028s Mexico Johnny what have we learned from
9030s their match
9031s yesterday well I was going to come out
9033s there and just be like this is what they
9035s want to play this is what they can play
9037s this is what they prefer but honestly
9039s they played all kinds of stuff yesterday
9041s so we don't know quite exactly what
9043s we're going to expect from this team for
9045s example here we're seeing them play this
9047s a slower Ora make composition obviously
9049s really strong here on this specific
9050s Round Here on Busan but I do think that
9053s they want to lean towards the Winston uh
9055s kind of play that we've seen from that
9057s uh seen from them so maybe a bit more
9059s dive heavy I don't think they got to
9061s really play their game yesterday because
9063s Finland is such a tough opponent and
9064s obviously we talked about Finland how
9066s strong they are slowing things down with
9068s Vesta playing some of these off tank
9070s Heroes and their may play as well in
9072s particular so haven't seen the best
9074s shade from Mexico yet but maybe in this
9075s match up yeah Dan going up against colia
9078s and I mean speaking of not being able to
9080s put your best forward colia they were
9084s thrown wench wrench into the wheels
9087s because they had to replace their star
9089s player eqo heading into the group stages
9091s yeah I mean eqo unfortunately couldn't
9093s join the team so uh their their head
9095s coach uh Cersei had to fill in and we
9097s we're we're going to see Cersei again
9099s for this match as well hey but you know
9101s given the disadvantages and of course
9103s having to play a tough opponent South
9106s Korea you know I think they they had
9107s some bright moments they had you know
9109s they were trying different stuff they
9111s had a lot of different looks I think you
9113s know but this one it's against Mexico
9115s it's more evenly matched and one big
9117s thing that Colombia has they got the
9119s Vibes bro you know if you guys remember
9121s yesterday they were losing but they were
9123s having fun they were happy to be there
9125s you know I think that positive energy I
9127s think they could they could work with
9129s positive mental attitude Honestly though
9133s we talked about it yesterday I mean
9135s obviously going up against Korea that
9137s was not their match to win they knew
9139s that they still had fun with it they
9141s still it's not like they they just threw
9143s the towel in and like didn't try but
9146s they they had fun and you can clearly
9148s see that in the player cams afterwards
9149s they were shaking hands they were
9150s laughing they were discussing it in
9152s between RS as well so definitely they
9154s came with the PMA this one should be
9156s more evenly matched I'm very excited to
9159s uh see that team play again and you know
9161s what I'm all for the Vibes that's why I
9163s went with Colombia for this one I I I
9166s liked the attitude okay I I want them to
9169s win I want them to succeed I want them
9171s to keep those Smiles on the faces so I
9173s gave them a 2-1 yeah I'm I'm big for
9176s positive energy as well but I'm on the
9178s other side I went with Team Mexico I was
9180s rooting for them yesterday unfortunately
9182s they took the L but hey this time around
9184s I think it's a more evenly matchup uh
9186s even matchup so I'm going to go for uh
9189s Mexico I want be Mexico to in this one I
9192s really do think that you know it was not
9194s their best showing yesterday against
9195s Finland but I think today it's a new day
9198s the sun is shining here in California
9200s what's new like it always does but it's
9203s a good day it's a good day and so I
9204s really do think that today is different
9206s from Mexico and they're going to come
9207s out there and get their win here in the
9209s world cup so you really like hit me with
9211s the Michael bé new day new dawn kind of
9213s energy there so exactly you
9216s know I mean I know play South Korea but
9220s still appable still appable it's a new
9223s day for both teams true that's that's a
9225s fact it's a new day that is factual so
9227s let's see who can make it their own for
9230s all the action we're going to send it
9231s over to Mitch and
9234s Matt I mean there's really nothing more
9236s profound than pointing out the obvious
9238s passage of time yeah did you know you
9240s get a day older every time the sun comes
9241s out Matt with you as well I want you to
9244s ruminate on that I judge I judge how
9247s long time is moving by just uh the way
9249s that you look if I judged you by kusta I
9251s wouldn't I wouldn't know uh custa the
9254s guy hasn't aged at all I aged about 40
9256s years when I had my second kid so I
9258s don't know if that's an accurate way to
9259s do it you're better off following the
9260s Mayan calendar Matt welcome back
9261s everybody of course with a lot of action
9263s going on here now in this Clash for
9264s Central America these two teams Colombia
9267s and Mexico respectively weren't put in
9269s the same groups all right there was
9270s group a actually had three teams Advan
9272s Group B had two Mexico had to go up
9275s against United States and Canada that
9277s was a really brutal group to try and
9279s play through they managed to get through
9280s in that third place whereas Colombia as
9282s we know actually had a pretty
9283s comfortable run through that America's
9285s Group B showed us OB obviously a lot of
9287s talent yes slightly different lineup
9289s there with eqo not so much of factor
9292s here but for these two teams M they're
9294s looking at the rest of their group here
9295s thinking wow it's South Korea it's
9298s Finland how do we get amongst this mix
9301s of teams now how do we give ourselves a
9303s shot of qualifying to the main event
9305s yeah it uh I mean it's it's going to be
9308s tough uh you just see know obviously
9310s both teams on your screen here you may
9312s uh notice on the left for uh Mexico uh
9314s no uh former uh know professional player
9317s really early on right uh inaugural
9320s season is their head coach now yeah
9323s which is fantastic II obviously has
9325s remained very much involved uh in the
9327s OverWatch Esports scene uh and still is
9329s a really consistent streamer as well I
9331s recommend you check him out always throw
9332s a host uh again great guy to have uh
9335s here and obviously the mentorship is
9337s very important I think for a lot of
9338s these teams which are showing up with uh
9340s you know some fairly young talented
9342s players having the guidance of know me
9343s there is pretty important let's jump
9345s into the series here obviously both
9346s these teams get to find wins in this
9349s group a one of them of course will come
9351s out looking a little bit better though
9352s as ilos is on the docket yeah and uh
9355s looks like it the first map actually
9356s will be Samoa so uh we we'll get that
9359s one uh changed up but uh it's a great oh
9361s we got a wave going on here all right
9363s here we go go little little Fan Fair
9366s early on feel like I feel like you you
9368s know you only see the wave at like like
9370s baseball games now I feel like it's kind
9372s of kind of dated we got we got players
9374s dancing I like this everybody's happy
9376s are refusing to be baited into these
9378s these hyinks at the start of the game uh
9380s they look a little bit more Focus I
9382s think Angel lado there's just giving a
9385s thumbs up across the table and and then
9387s it's back to business here so uh you'd
9389s be uh full for thinking this was uh
9391s Hades this of course is the volcano
9393s stage of Samoa where we will be starting
9396s this series after a quick pause of
9398s course yeah we'll get this one uh sort
9400s of looks like maybe uh audio issue or
9403s something there on the end uh players
9405s check my on Columbia like like bro I'm
9407s ready to play they've got all their
9410s dancing out I mean there's uh nothing
9411s else to do here is uh we saw Samoa uh
9415s yesterday we ended up uh you know
9417s casting it and uh really like how the
9419s map plays like way different in terms of
9421s each stage so uh curious to see it
9424s played with uh two different teams see
9426s the different types of comps we see yeah
9429s I I especially think in how it sort of
9431s changed some of the composition
9432s requirements for team Japan for example
9435s they started off with the sigma on on
9437s sort of uh on on downtown and then we
9439s saw things change up a lot when we got
9440s to beach which is obviously much more
9442s like Close Quarters point with less of
9444s that verticality but still longer sight
9446s lines and then volcano very different
9448s because we we have a point that is you
9449s know mostly covered uh you know by those
9452s barriers here so again you really want
9454s to try and Bully your way in we saw the
9455s doomfist used to great effect there and
9457s a lot of pressure being put on Poco
9459s primarily playing the sigma but also
9461s flexing to the Divas so there's a
9463s there's plenty of options here and we
9464s again have our eyes set on some some of
9466s these signature styles from from both of
9468s these rosters and see if they can make
9469s them work on this first map yeah you
9471s know we've obviously seen a ton of uh
9473s Bastion uh you know across the board uh
9476s here is the uh the map set where it
9478s stands now we don't have a loser so we
9480s don't have a map too yet uh s will be a
9482s map number one but uh we've seen a ton
9485s of Bastion uh early on here uh I know at
9488s OverWatch World Cup to be expected
9489s Bastion in a really strong State I was
9491s curious like if you're going to see
9492s Sombra like with the rework it seems
9494s like she's actually kind of like uh you
9496s know lost a little bit in terms of uh
9498s you know what makes her uh what made her
9501s really strong and viable so you bit us
9502s anyway you know she definitely still has
9504s obviously a lot of strength with what
9506s she can achieve with her virus and her
9507s focus on individual targets but perhaps
9509s that sort of uh you know overall team
9512s fight impact uh limited to some degree
9515s here Matt so we do see like a Broly
9517s setup which we kind of expect uh on
9519s volcano here castled already hovering
9521s that Arisa so this is a pretty
9523s straightforward composition for Mexico I
9524s like that look here columia do want to
9526s poke a little bit I guess with this
9528s Sigma setup what's your thoughts the
9530s orisa versus the sigma in terms of the
9533s comps really you know mirror matchups
9535s across the board outside of that for me
9537s I I actually think sigma's stronger like
9539s right now I I I think if you were to
9541s like say like who is the strongest tank
9544s in the game like overall I I think Sigma
9547s right now Takes the Cake but I'm curious
9549s your PE uh yeah look I think he does
9552s well with a lot of pressure being put on
9553s him here you see this first thrust from
9554s Mexico Castle so durable and still
9557s columia able to repel them I think
9559s immortality field plays a huge part in
9561s why Sigma is very strong up against the
9562s braw tank right the amount of time that
9564s you can buy yourself for that
9565s incremental damage and also the crack
9567s control via accretion is really
9568s important come here send Dr forward and
9571s pet they cannot handle the heat there it
9573s will be a good start but it's K being
9575s rosted yeah for for me if you have a
9577s like immortality field in the mix right
9579s and then you Sigma rotates their cool
9582s Downs like properly I mean he doesn't
9584s even need to do that properly right I
9586s mean with like a kinetic grass with some
9587s Bastion damage other stuff like he can
9590s just live it feels like forever where
9591s the Arisa like spear spin fortify and
9593s then like you're in a lot of trouble and
9596s M is up for both B players here look at
9598s how aggressively Columbia are pushing
9600s pushing Mexico away from that
9601s immortality F Mexico try and flip the
9603s fight with an air Matrix of their own
9605s pet they're going to be caught inside
9606s the graic pl and sub Gomez very
9609s comfortable there what a nice little
9610s threepiece for colia and they're
9613s brooming with confidence there's so many
9614s elements to sort of prolong this sigma's
9616s durability that lifespan to allow him to
9619s have great impact at creating space and
9621s they played aggressive they sped in with
9624s this Sigma set up behind the window yeah
9626s typically like a uh a sigma you wouldn't
9628s really kind of have like a Lucio with
9630s like a speed boost in right but start to
9632s cut down so much damage as we got an
9634s artillery early here remember EXO boots
9637s don't protect you from that Cannon
9639s barrage uh they just send you up into
9642s the path of those Mt shells but Mexico's
9644s going to have beat here so should have
9646s an advantage that may well here thrown
9648s out now the team really having their
9650s Advance prevented and the sound barer
9652s now going to come out from SOA this is
9653s where the pressure needs to start to
9654s build theity field for Columbia is
9656s already out of the pitch now the blizard
9657s also thrown down Mexico investing very
9659s heavily in this fight they'll get what
9661s they came for for sure but sound Mar and
9663s blizzard get expended yeah it's a nice
9666s speat right connects with everybody on
9667s the team the blizzard thrown in after
9669s that uh Colombia I feel like is going to
9671s be okay with this though right I mean
9673s you give up the point you get 80% uh you
9676s come back you're going to be able to
9677s build up like blizzard ant Matrix bead
9679s of your own uh you think you don't need
9681s to use all of those to flip the point
9682s back and then they're in a spot to win
9684s it but look at this it looks like Mexico
9686s getting a little bit sneaky I like this
9688s trying to catch colia coming out of
9690s Spawn this is how you buy from time
9691s anding that clock down drama taken down
9694s Angel Val able to connect there and here
9696s comes C pushing straight forward again
9698s hug can't even stand within an
9700s immortality field here we'll be shoved
9702s away colia they use the blizard here and
9704s maybe it's worth it maybe it's
9706s worthwhile here with a sound bear in the
9707s back pocket in case things go pearshaped
9709s colia have a chance to get back towards
9711s the point here they just speed the back
9713s te back with the rest of their team and
9715s yeah they'll have a player advantage on
9716s point yeah that's interesting that you
9719s catch a few players off guard this will
9720s be of a lot with an artillery here sound
9724s barrier comes in for colia connects with
9726s three almost overextending they able to
9728s get back just in time ice block
9730s absolutely crucial for choba there to
9732s stay in the fight mayw broken down
9734s pretty darn quickly here as we see
9735s Mexico want to get a piece at this point
9736s they still control it for the time being
9738s but that's a massive gravic flux three
9740s CAU in it and as they come down Cersei
9743s and Mixie able to finish the job another
9745s huge Sigma play from Super
9747s Gomez the immortality field will keep
9750s you alive right but it doesn't uh keep
9752s everybody topped up in terms of health
9753s people still drop down to the ground
9755s after that flux basically dead is looks
9759s like some trying to get on here to
9761s contest May Wall comes in oh comes from
9764s underground just get beating up well
9767s what goes up must come down man 99% here
9770s for Columbia in Mexico only have three
9772s players to work with castled under a lot
9774s of pressure now trying to find at least
9775s something on drum hug also staying alive
9777s and gets to regenerative burth just in
9779s time meanwhile super gome there more
9781s solo kills for him and a great start
9783s here for colia working the sigma
9785s composition and great defensive utility
9787s to give them enough time to win in the
9789s long game yeah it's interesting right
9791s the ARA don't feel like has the
9792s sturdiness to kind of like battle the
9794s sigma comp uh quite frankly I think like
9797s the one tank that you kind of I mean I
9800s was going to say like Doom right you if
9802s you want to play aggressive like
9803s circumvent the sigma like go around
9806s right the you think that could be the
9808s answer but you want to play Bastion may
9811s I think you got to play Sigma with that
9813s and it looks like Mexico to make the
9815s change understandably a little bit
9818s harder to brawl on a map like this right
9820s the point is not enclosed like it is on
9822s volcano so poking from long range and I
9824s want to keep an eye on uh Angel V here
9827s because we saw this the soj match up be
9829s really really important between France
9830s and Japan on this stage especially
9833s especially with these Sigma setups you
9834s can have a lot of space a lot of room to
9836s breathe here so you really need to be
9838s delivering on this soj if you're going
9839s to be facilitated to that degree the
9841s damage output though is so strong though
9843s from Colombia right the drummer on the
9846s the Bastion like the amount of Shield
9849s pressure and just you know o overall
9851s it's going to really you know test
9853s Mexico's healing resources right there
9854s drummer going to get that first pick
9855s Yeah you mentioned that damage output
9857s and uh yeah tactical grenade pretty
9858s nasty again Angel Val playing this off
9861s angle for most of that fight but the
9862s sideline isn't perfect and there's no
9864s ability to really manufacture those
9865s insta kills VIA Rail guns Columbia for
9868s the most part ignoring the sojun outside
9869s of sending mix back the check which is
9872s pretty frustrating you need your key DPS
9874s player from Mexico to have big impact
9876s here even early in the fight super Gomez
9878s maybe slight overextension there into
9879s Mexico's immortality Field Castle able
9881s to deal with Cersei and mix is on the
9883s run a good start for Columbia but
9886s Mexico bite them in yeah some really
9889s nice healing there able to keep castled
9891s up and I don't know if you caught it
9892s where castled was at like a little bit
9894s less than half HP start a kinetic grasp
9897s and like his health bar just jumped up I
9900s mean just ate up a ton of damage there
9903s as Mexico gets a flip and they'll have
9906s an a matrix here to work with Tak spot
9908s for as well pallet throws it down here
9911s ideally to boost that healing as
9913s fighting comes to aead drama comes out
9914s of that assault configure now looks to
9916s head to the lower ground but SE a sigma
9917s in the way they just want to Pile in on
9919s chock but the blizzard will catch him
9921s nothing you can do about that one and a
9923s beautiful gravitic flux from Castle to
9924s seal the deal that's two consecutive
9926s fight wins for Mexico yeah looks like a
9929s uh mix and Cersei were actually stuck in
9931s the blizzard in the flux like their
9933s bodies like didn't really go up that
9935s much but still took the damage uh from
9938s that flux and the blizzard was coming in
9940s so Mexico two quick fights in a row and
9943s they all jump up to
9944s 50%
9946s sound barriers here for both sides that
9948s ant Matrix really paying off by pallet
9951s they threw that down on the top of the
9953s point here and it was really important
9955s to deal with that Alpha strike damage
9956s that came through from columia they
9958s aggressively
9959s postured okay we have an off angle here
9961s with that overclock mayw comes out
9962s though Angel Val now and he has the one
9964s target to go for and that's probably not
9965s the one you want to face down at that
9966s range drummer looking imperious as the
9968s sound barrier came down so far um not
9972s sure what happened there not ideal here
9974s for Mexico super Gomez looks to try and
9976s pressure that point in chock from behind
9978s it's an accretion coming his way Sigma
9981s now want to face off here Mar in mind
9983s Mexico still have control the point
9984s after those key couple of fights
9985s Columbia need to try and close this out
9987s but Angel V still uncontested playing
9989s for that High Ground they'll get another
9991s one yeah I mean he can't take the fight
9994s against like drummer and the Bastion
9995s right but like in those off angles like
9997s he's able to put down significant
9999s amounts of damage as Mexico looking to
10001s tie it up the low ground at Cersei
10003s coming forward no blizzard available
10005s here
10007s a strike from drummer doesn't find any
10009s purchase and Cersei had to go andall
10011s that was the only option that Columbia
10012s had it's such a long walk back that
10014s accretion is perfect mix never had a
10016s chance to a light on the point and
10018s Mexico after a slower start looking much
10021s more comfortable here now in the sigma
10023s mirror yeah no Colombia did a really
10025s good job pushing the piece early on and
10027s then uh B Mexico got control at the
10029s point that was it they were never able
10031s to get in position as uh drummer at the
10034s start was able to get in get control of
10036s that like top Bridge area I would say
10037s and put down some damage but after that
10039s we're not able to get that Bastion back
10041s in position so see if there's any comp
10044s changes looks like Columbia they are
10045s fully committed Mexico potentially some
10051s changes okay we've seen this before
10055s obviously from Team Japan some teams
10057s just don't like opting into the sigma
10058s miror it's probably very positional it
10060s really requires you to control that High
10062s Ground And if you don't have a Lucio you
10064s just don't have the chance to really
10065s fight for it not nearly as quickly here
10068s come Mexico so I love this here the echo
10069s Trac we've seen this a bunch from some
10071s teams very different comps now and I
10073s think if you're going to play Echo
10074s Tracer the tank to play with it is the
10076s Doom uh specifically against these H to
10078s comps Doom has superior mobility uh
10081s really to even like Winston and ball at
10084s this point even Diva right being able to
10086s use the seis slam or the punch to get
10089s out of horms way Angel V's made his way
10092s around the backside here on that Tracer
10093s sleep on drummer looks like that was
10095s inside assault configuration as well so
10097s really limiting the DPS output of
10099s Columbia in that moment Cersei has able
10101s to poke freely but maybe doesn't realize
10103s the pressure is coming towards him over
10105s on the point and chbl is able to get in
10107s there and extract H with that focusing
10109s beam and D is so low just strong wind
10111s would blow him over this is a great look
10113s from Mexico they are attacking on
10115s multiple axes here yeah in in colia
10118s right they're kind of just playing
10120s pretty much together around the corner
10121s they're Mexico's totally okay with them
10123s playing that type of style because they
10124s want to like poke from every direction
10126s right they want to have Angel V on one
10128s side they want to have the EO on the
10130s other like castled you know just jumping
10132s in putting down some damage maybe
10133s getting a stun off now it'll be colia
10136s with a now we're going to get like a
10137s full-on mirror match up false bomb here
10140s for the brg easy decision to make but it
10142s comes up short and H's able to Shield it
10144s doesn't matter though cuz Angel WPS
10145s around the back and gets it done old
10148s fashioned way hug a hug a't going
10150s nowhere right now 28% en counting here
10152s for Mexico and good old fashioned trace
10154s of flank PS
10156s off yeah that could at least you know
10159s give him a heal or something little heal
10161s little heal yeah a little heal little
10162s turn a little shot maybe maybe a little
10165s bio grenade
10166s there at the same time super Gomez I
10169s think is gone in so mixv is looking
10171s absolutely elsewhere at that moment so I
10173s definitely left on an island there make
10175s no mistake probably like look if I El
10177s you there's a chance I die so you you
10179s figured that
10182s out all right drum now making the switch
10184s over towards the Tracer final so a go
10186s the dude bring this is a pretty scary
10188s Prospect the stri flattens the backline
10192s colia and getting up after that one
10194s that's going to hurt in the
10196s morning the meteor strike was massive
10199s not even going to be able to build up
10200s towards the rally because there's just
10201s nobody to attack as everybody falls for
10205s Colombia Mexico's really put it on with
10208s this dive count I mean you are reeling
10210s after that play you on one end it's a
10212s duplicated Brig who has absolutely no
10214s reason to worry that preservation and
10216s then from above the meteor strike that
10218s is disgusting Dr here in a trac du
10220s against Angel Val super Gomez pretty
10222s good purchase there with that with that
10223s seismic slam rather but might be caught
10225s here good biotic grenade but will that
10227s be enough the Rally's ticking Castle
10229s though is durable enough not to worry
10230s about theti heal and now a nano being
10232s handed over to the brri that's a scary
10234s Prospect indeed SOA wants to sege ahead
10236s here but realizes that duration is
10238s ticking down wants to stay in a position
10240s to benefit the rest of the team 99 play
10243s Zer there's a rally up for Clum they're
10244s going to pop it straight away you need
10245s to be looking out for the Tactical visor
10246s in this fight colia may not need it
10249s though getting rid of CHX early and
10251s they'll finally have a chance on the
10253s point tremendous job from the supports
10256s on colia Mixie and hog they keep super
10259s Gomez alive even saw in his player cam
10261s he was like shocked he was alive he was
10263s like wait what so he ends up on the
10265s ground he's bioed for a little bit he
10268s power blocks like gets the Nano I mean
10270s just tremendous stuff able to keep him
10272s up he falls there I mean that is Mass in
10275s favor of Mexico colia now with some
10277s signs of life you have this T viser here
10279s up in The High
10280s Ground with the T here getting TR blocks
10283s out of the fight would be Crucible look
10285s at the pressure on the soldier and go
10286s for the ultimate way they're going to
10287s find the kill B grenade came in towards
10289s the backline of Columbia but Cersei
10291s unperturbed and that'll be enough the
10292s one kill that's going to have to be
10294s enough for now Cersei still has a lot of
10296s room to breathe Mexico may have a crack
10298s at this with
10299s four so you've lost mix here for
10301s Columbia so that's like your largest
10303s source of healing out of the way if
10304s you're IIA know you got to just sustain
10307s on through this for the next little bit
10309s yeah this really agressive wait where
10310s did the drummer go was a to turn the
10313s shield just in time drummer
10316s uh I don't know I don't know what
10318s happened to the Tracer that's not ideal
10320s colban are going to have to work without
10322s the Tracer and super Gman under a lot of
10324s pressure here the btic grenade came in
10325s but they're able to get the safety just
10327s in time castle now needs to respected
10329s good recall timing there from drama that
10331s would have been another early
10332s elimination as the focusing beam just
10334s came in from ch
10335s sub Gomez Mutual knock down here another
10338s one from that brri pressure is pretty
10340s scary but oh my goodness I don't think
10341s sub Gomez intended to fight Angel V with
10344s that they just walked into a random
10345s seismic slam what a huge turnar around
10348s here for columia and they're going to be
10349s a to stay in the
10350s fight but okay so Colombia will end up
10354s staying in the fight they're going to
10355s flip this but Mexico did end up flipping
10358s the point back towards them so like all
10360s of this which could have been like
10361s percentage and you know whatnot for
10363s Colombia could have got them probably up
10364s close to winning the game uh ends up
10367s know not earning anything right because
10369s Mexico had flipped the points so Mexico
10371s pretty fortunate there for that to be
10373s able to happen they have a rally and a
10374s nano coming in is they're in a fantastic
10377s spot to maybe flip this B BBS up for
10380s both sides and Val deploys his no good
10383s again an easy Brak kill would have been
10384s great The Shield too strong castled in
10386s deep trouble great body could response
10388s there from mixv in the rally for that
10390s extra durability so put pop stairs as
10392s well but this is dangerous territory for
10394s Mexico to be pal that is brought down
10396s colia might be able to make big old
10398s comeback here after being at 0% for so
10401s much of the round trock out of dup
10403s Cersei able to survive the sticky bombs
10404s and drop into the biotic field that is
10407s going to hurt in the morning we had a
10408s pause C in the final second that can't
10411s be real that that is utter BM I'm pretty
10415s certain that we had a resolution of the
10418s round wait what and a pause is still
10421s called I think by
10422s somebody oh World Cup never
10425s is somebody on Columbia I think uh maybe
10428s an audio issue or something we we'll see
10431s what's see what's going on here so we're
10434s about to have an end of around what is
10436s this it's like a we like ice in the
10438s kicker here you know
10441s like I would I don't know I would be
10444s absolutely about that if I was going to
10446s Loser round and I'd to stare at the 100
10449s to 99 indicator on my scam for any
10452s length of time yeah you're like uh
10455s you're coming off the respawn right just
10456s sitting there staring at it 99 like as
10459s they're about to just win like so we'll
10462s figure out it's I think obviously like
10464s the I'm look I'm not 100% sure about
10466s this but a game admins have to actually
10467s action the paws oh we had a a quick a
10471s quick all tab there real quick tab okay
10476s yeah up they're queuing up the victory
10478s tunes on uh on YouTube or something oh
10481s yeah they just had to turn up the volume
10482s on the lowii uh Beast study and trol
10484s your opponent to this will be one of the
10486s more interesting hey we're coming back
10488s from a pause all right it's
10492s over it's like you're about to land a
10494s knockout punch and you just stop with
10496s your F in front of there oh okay well
10498s we'll see what happens here was boing
10501s they rigged the scores coming back in
10502s right I mean I'm so glad this is
10504s happening okay so Angel V can probably
10506s touch here they do okay we actually have
10508s our overtime love to see that here from
10511s Cersei though definitely wants to try
10513s and end this now but there are no
10514s targets anything but a Target Rich
10516s environment but look at that Helix
10518s rocket at the feet of Angel Val tough
10520s for mexo to come back from this one no
10521s support ultimates to work with TRX
10523s coming to the point in the soldier just
10525s for the mobility if anything else and
10527s it's uh yeah it's a tough one you're
10529s walking up to The Gallows if you Mexico
10531s after that pause cuz you know exactly
10533s what the riding on the wall says big
10535s comeback for Columbia there on downtown
10537s even though they teased us with it a
10538s little bit they'll take the first map
10540s yeah felt like we already got the
10541s celebration before it actually ended so
10543s now they're not even not even that happy
10545s but no really strong uh performance mean
10547s that last round right Columbia battled
10550s back I mean they were in a rough spot uh
10553s you know Mexico put together a really
10554s good lead it looked like they were doing
10556s fantastic with that like dive com uh
10558s Mexico and then Colombia just kind of
10560s switched to it and figured it out
10562s themselves so uh really good map number
10564s one yeah being a to do that on the Fly I
10565s think is a really big deal the Samoa
10567s games that we've seen so far have
10570s featured that that mix uh between Sigma
10573s and doomfist you got to see Columbia on
10575s a dime make the switch and come in and
10577s play that composition so effectively
10579s it's a big deal I think the soldier 76
10581s from uh Cersei was pretty important
10583s there in that last map but let's go back
10584s towards a very interesting orisa versus
10587s Sigma match up on volcano yeah and and I
10590s think you see even you know Arisa is
10592s still a really strong tank I think you
10594s just see the power that Sigma brings
10596s right I mean just overall can do so many
10598s different things Mexico goes to it in
10599s round number two and they come out on
10602s top yeah again we see the great set set
10604s ups on The High Ground pallette they get
10606s a big uh amplification Matrix there that
10609s really just helps that healing through
10610s but this is what happened to Drama by
10611s the way oh buddy was a punch or a
10614s backwards blink map's new it's all right
10617s yeah that's right still got to get your
10618s SE legs on it even happened to Danny
10620s limb you happen anybody okay happened to
10623s Danny Lim I wouldn't feel bad about it
10624s at all but this is like this is the game
10626s State Midway through the round this is
10627s after Columbia Mak that switch up there
10629s and uh they're able to come back to take
10632s Samoa away 2 to one in rounds score very
10635s competitive match so far and I'm curious
10638s to see now what the Mexico pick is going
10640s to be because we do have data from these
10642s I was going to say uh Mexico that had
10643s some options right they looked pretty
10645s good on the Dive Right Colombia ends up
10647s coming out uh on a dive of their own
10649s ends up like winning it at the end uh
10651s they're probably looking at their
10652s success in you know map number two right
10654s in that Sigma V Sigma matchup and then
10656s saying hey let's take that as opposed to
10658s trying to go to another dive M pick and
10660s circuit yeah more poke comps coming up
10662s in circuit Royale map number two in this
10664s match up in group a between Mexico and
10666s Columbia don't go too
10668s [Music]
10685s [Music]
10693s far
10711s let's
10723s go
10725s [Music]
10753s yeah
10773s 3 2 1 let's
10783s go
10786s [Music]
10800s [Music]
10807s [Music]
10813s y
10814s [Music]
10823s [Music]
10830s [Music]
10866s from top to bottom this group a has
10869s looked like it's been delivering so far
10871s Colombia and Mexico featuring this
10873s particular match up two teams naturally
10876s struggling against Finland and South
10878s Korea respectively but when it comes to
10880s this rivaly here in Central America they
10882s are leaving it all out there and Samo
10884s was a great demonstration of this it was
10886s a little bit of a slow start I think at
10888s times for for Mexico but Colombia I
10891s would have put pressure on them here
10893s heading into the second map that's when
10894s things really got opened up in a sigma
10895s mirror let's talk Subs here matters
10898s hisia and Momo com in for Mexico yeah so
10901s uh two subs coming in for Mexico here on
10903s circus Royal so uh should tell you
10906s potentially maybe you know they want to
10907s have his and maybe they feel like he's
10909s the stronger Sigma of the two maybe
10910s that's also why we saw Castle come out
10912s on the ARA uh at the start uh then Mo
10915s maybe uh you don't feel like you need to
10917s play Lucio here you can play know a
10919s little bit more of a flex support based
10921s support
10922s l so MOA definitely got to show us at
10925s least what these two teams were capable
10927s of when it came to the the sigma play
10929s and I guess Mexico probably man maybe
10930s feeling a little bit forced into that
10932s position uh I did didn't seem to be any
10934s debate about it when we headed over to
10937s beach although of course volcano gave
10939s you an option to brawl it's got to be
10940s frustrating that that Arisa composition
10942s doesn't work out now in the past on
10944s circuit Royal we've definitely seen a
10945s lot of teams flirt with bwl compositions
10948s against the sigma setup more than happy
10950s to play like Jun Queen even a Arisa at
10951s times to try and get up in the enemy's
10953s face and you know deny a lot of that
10955s space again in the Australia versus
10957s Brazil match up we saw them play
10958s Reinhard into the sigma and Brazil gave
10961s Australia so much room Australia really
10963s got to push the battle lines up sort of
10965s essentially for free here but in a match
10967s up between two compositions that want to
10969s poke we're going to be looking at the
10970s DPS we're going to be looking at a long
10973s range hit scan if Mexico come out of the
10974s gates with it I do think uh the comp
10978s with the Reinhardt in the Sim like Lucio
10980s is really interesting against like the
10982s sigma Bas comps uh I think it's just way
10985s harder to execute that's why like you
10986s don't see like anybody really do it at
10989s like a you see a few teams obviously go
10991s to it but it's not like something that
10992s everybody can replicate right uh you
10995s think back to previous SM is like uh you
10997s know goats a lot of teams could throw
10999s together goats but like to play it at a
11000s really high level like pretty difficult
11002s right I think it's the same thing with
11004s the the Reinhardt base comp with the
11006s symmetra it's like ah yeah like in
11007s theory like yeah we can probably do it
11009s but you know you have to execute it
11011s really perfectly to be able to beat some
11012s of these comps where Mexico come out
11014s with double sniper here so this will be
11016s an interesting look I mean double sniper
11020s feels like a a kind of comp that's been
11023s like gone for a while uh I just don't
11025s think it has like damage output to be
11027s able to burst some of these targets
11030s down I be the issue here as well uh we
11033s we see the switch over toward towards
11034s the soier here
11037s Ang the backline this is extremely risky
11042s but again being out of out position of
11043s Sigma a poke composition is a huge part
11045s of the win condition when trying to you
11048s know break the powerful poke elements of
11050s it up into more manageable pieces but I
11052s mean you have
11057s their Hanzo is all the way at point two
11059s I mean uh if you're Columbia just leave
11062s him there and go yeah like mixi just
11064s look back and check and just push and
11066s just bully them right that's how much
11068s flexibility this Lucio setup gives you
11070s it's actually going to be a trade though
11071s hysteria goes down so Sigma out of the
11074s pitch now for the attackers means that
11075s super Gomez can sort of lean into this a
11077s little bit more TRX does nothing for the
11079s last 20 seconds and then gets kinetic
11081s grasp much of that damage is being shut
11082s down there
11085s event to ro andal with the problem of
11088s the Hanzo made the right choice but they
11090s have a Lucio in set so you can be
11092s flexible in that regard you have
11094s somebody turn kind of Mark that Hanzo
11096s push him away right you know Mi he gets
11098s right up in his face pushes him really
11100s far out uh then just speed around the
11102s corner and take a a
11103s 5v4 here comes the flux here from Mexico
11107s right wall there really makes it
11108s impossible to follow up on the players
11110s that are held aof and the immortality
11111s field is very straightforward for
11113s Columbia do they shrug off that ultimate
11115s yes they give up a little bit of ground
11116s here but Mexico's next power play
11118s involves this amplification Matrix what
11120s a nice meile there though from Cersei
11122s and that's going to be a sound barrier
11123s as Columbia wants to go that's two
11125s fantastic May walls that shut down big
11127s ultimates on the side of Mexico it
11129s doesn't look like much right the mall
11131s doesn't always sort of blow your socks
11133s off in terms of it impact in the fight
11135s but first Cersei shuts down the follow
11137s up on players held aoft inside the
11138s gravitic flux and then of course it
11140s blocks off that amp Matrix great play
11143s from the
11144s got to go get dber back in the fight
11146s scirt the Presidente back in So Bastion
11150s will have the artillery here for this
11152s next fight is and dude you're in a great
11154s spot if you're Colombia right uh you're
11156s going to have everything outside of beat
11158s here feel like you're in complete
11160s control able to you know dominate this
11162s corner you got Transcendence here
11165s probably for flux coming
11167s up uh I mean yeah you want to be inside
11170s the flux if you're not in it things can
11171s get a little
11172s awkward all right here comes theas old
11176s from
11176s drummer into the gravic flux excuse me
11179s there from Super Gomez P CAU there
11182s butasan alter perhaps they were just
11184s held in place Angel Val finally though
11186s turning up here it's going to be an
11187s overclock that yelds two kills blizzard
11189s was committed to the fight as W by
11190s Mexico and they come out second best
11193s after spending so much you can't be
11194s feeling good with less than a minute on
11196s the clock I like uh you know I love how
11198s we have the player cams and everybody on
11200s land you get to see some stuff where I
11202s know we're Ron with drummer for a little
11204s bit and he's you know looking over and
11206s he's looking over at Super Gomez's
11208s screen where he's going to flux and know
11210s exactly where they drop that artillery
11211s right on top and now have they're going
11214s to go over and play the Lucio here get
11216s back in the fight you already end up
11218s using that Transcendent so maybe get a
11219s little bit more speed in the mix one
11221s more fight that's it imortality already
11223s down his is going to be hit by the cre
11225s they do get drummer at the very least
11226s here can you keep super is healed up
11228s enough before he drops down the answer
11229s is yes but you don't have any morality
11231s heal from colia you take a ton of damage
11233s Baptist is desperately trying to work to
11235s keep you alive but eventually a great
11238s flux that's going to give Mexico a
11239s window into the rest of this map keeping
11241s yeah it looks like a a PO they had a
11243s really nice Boop there on the super goz
11245s like knocked him back towards uh Team
11247s Mexico they're able to finish him off as
11251s mexo barely gets over the line though
11253s pretty good defense there from Columbia
11254s on point
11255s a yeah I mean it just falls apart maybe
11258s like I think it was an early immortality
11259s field from hug because there was a fair
11261s bit of balling going on in the front
11262s line uh maybe like they aren't tracking
11265s a sigma ultimate from Hysteria there I
11268s mean you really want to have that
11269s available I think hug does a great job
11270s at actually direct hitting super Gomez
11272s in when he's in the flux to keep above
11274s 50% but just too much damage coming in
11276s after the fact here so zomb out set
11279s their feet behind this an Matrix M and I
11282s was going to say you you knew you could
11284s go with an Matrix there because you got
11285s the May walls out right both teams end
11287s up using the May wall uh it's actually
11289s really nice use of the kinetic R thereby
11291s from uh hysteria actually like used it
11293s over towards the side end of keeping the
11295s Mele you got to back away from that air
11297s Matrix here if you're Columbia yours
11298s doesn't quite pay off both teams able to
11301s avoid them here but ultimately it's
11302s Mexico gaining ground Cersei after such
11305s a fantastic start it's caught there by
11307s Chux and now Columbia have to try and
11309s make this defense happen with four they
11311s do have some key ultimates though sound
11313s barriers going to be there flux also
11315s available now with the blizzard also
11316s thrown at the start of the fight no
11318s chance for super Gomez to part with that
11320s ultimate fantastic preemption there from
11323s tro
11324s to set things up for a last push of the
11326s map yes Mexico finding some signs of
11330s life here and and really it's once they
11332s went over and brought the Lucio back in
11334s right uh know have that speed close the
11337s gap really if you survive so the thing
11339s is is like Columbia has like an
11342s advantage in terms of like Highest
11344s Potential damage output right you would
11346s say with the Bastion inside of uh you
11348s know Wheels mode uh if if bastion's out
11351s of that right then the damage output
11353s actually probably sways over more
11355s towards Mexico to about even where if
11358s you can survive this right like this is
11359s great right for Mexico drummer uses that
11362s early and then now maybe you can
11364s engage D barrier here for Mexico
11368s Columbia holding on to their maybe until
11369s a more opportune moment and this is it h
11371s doesn't benefit from it still able to
11373s stay alive with that immortality feeli
11374s but Angel Val has a shooting range at
11377s their disposal only the one kill though
11379s for Mexico and again this aggressive
11380s wrap around by DPS is going to fizzle
11383s valaro might not want to hang around and
11386s I choose not
11389s to a sold scream there is uh pretty
11393s dramtic jumps off the side yeah
11395s extremely
11397s dramatic and no fall damage so you think
11399s you would live that but you know kind
11401s crazy got to be lore reasons I mean
11403s trying to record those voice lines must
11404s be really tiring that just occurred to
11408s me you know all right we need you to
11410s scream like you're falling from 100 foot
11412s building again
11414s we've had enough of that for me over the
11415s last six years that's every other fight
11418s they a lot of footage on
11420s you the receipts have been kept and
11422s Matrix here up available for Momo
11425s substitution coming in for Mexico pet
11427s they have been moved onto Lucio so
11430s there's a question may Mexico thinking
11431s they didn't need Lucio or we didn't luo
11435s as well yep dring here from The High
11438s Ground that'll pressure that Sigma
11439s barrier away further slowing up Mexico
11441s we're again under 1 minute Columbia have
11443s done a really good job in these last
11444s couple of fights being able to save off
11446s the attackers but they don't have any
11448s ultimates to work with right now I know
11449s cerse is desperately trying to acrew
11451s another blizzard but there may not be
11452s enough time here look at the damage on
11453s super Gomez and well drama couldn't get
11455s inside the immortality field at all
11457s super Gomez though good kinetic grass
11459s that's going to be able to keep them up
11459s a little bit longer it's enough time for
11461s C to try and deploy the blizzard they
11462s fall after the fact though can you
11464s follow up with this it's just a s Lucio
11467s they caught in the blizzard and then the
11468s gravitic flux comes down hysteria takes
11470s an absolute battering at two versus
11472s three will it be enough drama is going
11473s to be burned down and hug now comes to
11475s the point on the KIRO one versus two
11477s won't get it done and Mexico looking to
11479s squeak in ch's back on the point on the
11481s reaper guy but uh no chance to touch
11484s there as the basan ultimate came through
11486s very close conclusion to that push but
11488s Mexico get home yeah I I actually
11491s thought know Mexico I mean they they
11493s come up super clutch right as colia does
11495s a great job on that first point uh and
11498s then they really just kind of know once
11500s they're able to get there they do a nice
11502s job completing the rest of the map so
11505s now ball in Colombia's Court here to try
11508s and answer you know uh typically we do
11510s see teams get stalled out there at the
11511s end of this map so that can be a pretty
11514s dangerous situation here for
11517s Colombia they're having time to spare
11521s after that push pretty impressive stuff
11523s there from
11524s Mexico like a two versus three blizard
11527s in a gravitic flux any other day would
11529s be absolutely
11530s devastating we got to hand it to Angel V
11533s there on the
11535s Bastion to seal the deal love that
11538s really been a competitive Series so far
11540s oh yeah but now Mexico have to convert
11542s on a really nice attack here to push us
11544s to a
11545s third I mean uh this is what world comes
11548s about right you get all these awesome
11549s like close match ups take a look at this
11551s here at the end is Angel I mean this is
11555s uh you say Bastion is strong this is why
11560s is man just then here comes the Reaper
11563s guy towards the end it already used The
11564s Wraith form to get out of the spawn
11566s nothing you can do there yeah it's like
11569s impossible for drama to stall I think
11571s they have to use all three blinks to get
11572s to the point so Ang just goes and blows
11575s them up
11576s instantly all right well could have gone
11578s either way that one I'll be honest with
11580s you Columbia now must finish the map as
11583s well and take it to some extra innings
11585s composition rise we actually have a
11587s mirror now bans from both teams May
11591s throwing up here to try and cut angel
11593s potential DPS output and it does put in
11596s an advantage here they get rid of that
11598s is Fallen Angel not in a position to
11601s putting pressure back you know Angel V
11603s did a really nice job we C in that
11605s replay there towards the end with the
11606s Bastion grenade uh not to just kind of
11608s like Get It eaten by that kinetic grasp
11610s of super Gus just kind of throws to the
11612s side and kills him with the splash
11613s damage that time you saw it uh from
11615s Mexico's POV the splash damage that
11618s comes in from drummer's grenade I mean
11619s just send like a few of them underneath
11621s the bridge up into the sky and chunks of
11623s HP they all crumble after
11627s that all
11629s right good stuff from Columbia there the
11632s M pretty devastating P of V but this
11633s time they just go straight on through it
11635s immortality F to keep the Vasan standing
11638s nicely done by Momo there a lot of
11639s healing to be done in those last couple
11641s of moments and cersi just gets
11643s caught might just see Columbia yeah
11645s completely reset here after losing the
11647s M yeah you don't have that may wall to
11649s block some of that damage almost as a
11651s second Shield yeah this is a
11653s it's a death reset here well feels like
11657s this is why Lucio is important even
11658s though you are playing a poke
11659s composition you maybe don't think about
11661s Mobility so much when you're defending
11662s with a sigma setup but being out a chase
11664s like that get that extra Al charge and
11665s also get some stagger is pretty crucial
11667s well if you have no Shield you have no
11669s May wall right no ktic grasp like you
11672s need something to know kite some of the
11674s damage right especially if they're kind
11676s of engaging with they just by time
11680s yeahia really reluctant to get this High
11682s ground up and this this is why graic
11684s flux comes in oh this is going to be a
11685s killer mix for yep they couldn't do much
11687s about that one they would have dropped
11688s and died either way Hyster now
11690s surrounded though the blizard may be
11691s unexpected Cersei deploys that but
11692s hesteria still able to find a kill on
11694s the M here this is going horribly wrong
11697s for colia they spent so much in that
11699s fight and again get
11700s repelled yeah I mean that's a huge sound
11703s barrier there that comes in there Po got
11706s a really nice map there on the Lucio uh
11710s Landing that sound barer pushing on up
11712s as yeah I mean this is not going well
11714s for Columbia right uh now you come back
11716s what you have a flux but you have the
11719s the immortality field to kind of like
11720s live through that as
11723s uhoh wall throwing up I see the idea
11726s behind there nothing I mean again when
11728s Columbia spend you know good money after
11731s B by throwing that blizzard into what
11732s end up being a lost fight you know you
11734s just have the advantage deploy it as
11735s soon as you can in that small room and
11737s there's no escape and I like even if
11740s Mexico loses this they're in a great
11742s spot right in terms of like this next
11744s fight so oh you lose that's pretty rough
11746s uh because you can in theory right if
11748s you are evenly matched you can play
11750s close up and force some of these
11751s ultimates out now look at Columbia I
11753s mean they know they have a player
11755s Advantage they're going to try and push
11756s that pace where you can't play as close
11758s as a spawn to or Force these ultimates
11760s out that's a huge pick not just player
11761s Advantage here they have that sound
11763s barrier Edge over Mexico coming to this
11765s next fight and if super Gomez can land a
11767s big clu it's got to be all over that's a
11768s devastating pick off there miby just
11770s firing into the void and finding a key
11773s elimination here comes the flux super
11774s gome is playing safe cuz they know
11776s there's an M Matrix in play can grass
11778s comes up and have a look at the
11780s overshield they got lot of damage
11782s mitigated there we still need to convert
11784s the plane needs to be landed here TR
11786s comes out of ice block and takes damage
11788s from both the sigma and the May
11790s simultaneously super Gomez wants to try
11792s and limit the effectiveness of the
11793s basting on The High Ground Angel B is
11795s getting so much done eventually they
11797s have to try and drop get closer they
11798s give up the point oh and it looks like
11800s actually got stunned out of the flux
11802s there there potentially is a hysteria
11804s win for that so it looks like super go
11805s has actually may have nailed him with
11807s the accre and stunned him out I think if
11809s you actually land that flux you probably
11811s consider using sound barrier there and
11812s fighting that that would have been a
11813s large chunk of damage maybe get a kill
11815s or two off of that really nice play
11818s there by super
11820s go columia they finally opening with
11824s that kill from mix had that not happened
11826s there still a distinct ultimate
11827s Advantage but you know things don't
11829s always follow that kind of Rhyme or
11831s Reason in this game
11833s o okay big chunk of damage there on
11835s Cersei I think that was the Tactical
11836s grenade coming in I like this okay Super
11839s G is trying to hit get an accretion here
11840s to lock people inside the effective
11842s radius of a Bastian ultimate the
11843s blizzard though is more than enough hisa
11845s was well extended onto the car here
11847s Columbia Paving the way to be really
11849s competitive here on circuit Royal yeah
11851s even with the sound barrier there you're
11853s not able to keep stereo up as now colia
11858s pushing forward they have Angel here
11861s potentially able to finish off this Kill
11863s smaro by superg doesn't want to get like
11865s baited in right you know go a little bit
11867s farther forward and then get taken out
11869s is it's going to be the second
11871s checkpoint you have a few players trying
11872s to get there towards the contest and now
11874s you're going to have some staggers I
11875s mean the only ultimate you had at the
11877s time was air Matrix H pops out as soon
11879s as they build it up and instantly Angel
11881s Val gets blown to Smither there's no
11883s time for Mexico to respond to that
11885s because they're already throwing
11886s themselves bodily at the cart 2 minutes
11889s 44 to work with now how good colia how
11892s good are they rather at taking that High
11894s Ground position with the window uh right
11897s here if they can maintain this control
11899s and also get they're in great shape they
11901s have to know I mean look at where Angel
11904s V and hysteria are think they know I
11906s mean does not look like
11908s it do we get two justes TRX get caught
11911s in that unclear Momo though going to
11912s have to go for a immortality field but
11914s still going to get taken they went for
11916s air Matrix as well Hyster at the very
11918s least find two quick kills and the
11920s blizzard thrown at the point might not
11922s be worth here hysteria really just
11924s stalling super Gomez has to wait for the
11926s grasp to expire eventually so will
11928s hysteria you've bought some time but you
11931s spent huge ultimates Momo and you're
11934s part it's not like it's not like you
11937s bought like you know you bought like a
11939s minute there I mean 20 seconds I mean
11941s that's not a a huge amount of time a
11944s hysteria in Angel blood I don't think
11946s had any idea that they had wrapped all
11947s the way up to that window already I
11948s think they no clue cuz they turn the
11950s corner and they go to challenge the car
11951s and there's like no
11953s there here having switch to the Genji
11955s hoping to put some more pressure on drum
11958s who starting to become a real issue Zur
11960s coming out in response there a lot of
11961s respect for the ultimate from Angel Val
11963s but meanwhile Cy trying to walk it in
11964s hysteria is so low but C super Gomez
11966s inside the gravic flux ice block won't
11968s be enough for Cersei buys a little bit
11970s of time but still Colombia will be
11972s repelled with a minute 20 left to play
11974s yeah you just jump off the side here if
11976s you're Columbia you come back you know
11978s blizzard here potentially uh you know
11981s artillery strike you you could kind of
11983s combo those you can maybe even uh know
11985s use an amp Matrix there to get some
11987s extra Bastion damage like force players
11988s around the corner uh you just need to
11991s get this fight over with fast you can't
11993s allow you know too much time here to let
11995s the payload creep backwards you can
11997s actually get it in a position where if
11998s you take this fight fast and you know
12000s win it you can actually probably you
12002s know score and win the game off of this
12004s barrier
12006s unsuccessful can Cersei guarantee a
12009s powerful blizzard to end the round here
12011s colia will only have a slim lead either
12014s way Trux here not really bothered by the
12017s Bas in ultim by the looks of things
12018s there's that bliz from Cersei but aeria
12020s fell in that fight able to break through
12022s the sigma is huge But Here Comes TRX
12024s with the Dragon Blade moo by the way
12026s finding both opposing supports and
12027s Mexico might have set themselves up to
12029s win the map outright yeah pette has
12032s Transcendence here coming up and there's
12035s nothing on the other side so you're
12037s going to be really healthy if you're
12039s Mexico with an opportunity send it to a
12042s final
12046s pretty key Dragon Blade there Momo
12048s though now showing us why they were
12049s subed in huge moment from them mix out
12052s of the picture your Lucio was gone and
12054s your ability to swarm over the card has
12055s now been diminished significantly as has
12057s your life forces pet they get to sit on
12059s a Transcendence coming into the last
12061s fight and Mexico even up the series
12064s making this interesting just as we were
12067s hinted at after seeing the game play in
12069s map one yeah and I thought map one was
12073s really close map one went down to the
12075s wire specifically you know on these
12077s Sigma based compositions that was the
12079s round that Mexico won right playing that
12081s some of that Sigma style and they end up
12083s know battling back here in a really
12085s close map here against Colombia now with
12088s the ball in Colombia's court right of
12090s what they decide to do here with this
12092s final map given the balance of power in
12095s this group a this is likely the best
12097s opportunity for either of these teams to
12099s show what they're made of and they've
12101s given us an in incredibly competitive
12103s Series so far circuit Royal could
12105s absolutely have gone either way got to
12108s say the Momo substitution even though
12110s pet they sort of forced to move over
12112s towards Lucio to facilitate for this you
12113s can see why it makes sense Mi here of
12116s course this is that sound barrier for
12118s Columbia in that sort of first half they
12121s really start to put pressure on Mexico
12122s we thought Columbia looking really good
12123s here until they get blown out further
12125s down the map yeah I thought even uh
12128s potential for uh you know a hold there
12132s that's a nice R see that's what I was
12134s talking about not not putting it into
12136s the uh kinetic grasp he had just droing
12138s it right before it's a obviously the
12141s sigma is low but still add is a lot of
12143s damage and then uh yeah Ser he get with
12145s a just a elbow drop there from the top
12148s row with the
12150s artillery I like this play as well TRX
12152s has to be super aware of that kinetic
12154s grasp making sure the blizzard doesn't
12156s get gobbled up and that's what we
12158s thought it was it was all happening for
12159s for the Defenders we thought the game
12161s would be over there the next fight
12162s though that's where columia shows a
12163s little bit of backbone here here's that
12165s sound barrier to really respect the Al
12167s from Angel Val but hysteria able to
12169s rotate down after the gravitic flux kill
12171s on their opposite number Sigma it is
12173s real nice what is the pick going to be
12176s here for Columbia we saw what they had
12178s for us on S we saw the flexibility in
12180s terms of tank pick circuit Royal doesn't
12182s really allow for that you're very much
12183s priced in to playing Sigma mirrors at
12186s least at this level so how do you
12188s emancipate yourself from restricting
12191s your tank player that's what I want to
12192s see from Columbia yeah I mean the the
12195s next uh map selection is definitely
12197s going to tell you how they feel in terms
12199s of where the the strength is and how
12201s they feel like they can end up beating
12203s uh Mexico I think it's been really close
12205s in those Sigma matchups uh where
12207s Mexico's gotten like the The Edge right
12209s uh you know you would say where uh
12211s Columbia looked pretty good you know
12213s using some of those doomfist base coms
12216s right that's what something I look
12217s forward to seeing a little bit more of
12219s because it really showed us their
12220s ability to actually fight a multiple fr
12222s we got to see like the Tracer Echo the
12224s doomfist look from them uh that that to
12226s me was quite exciting can you can you
12229s get a map pick I guess in in map three
12231s that really allows you to go for that
12233s yes you can new Queen Street is the pick
12235s here we've seen teams play The Rush
12238s Styles but also plenty of doomfist play
12240s even some Wrecking Ball uh over the time
12242s obviously at the top level of OverWatch
12244s I'm really excited to see what these
12245s teams formulate composition on new Queen
12248s Street we're going to have to wait
12249s though until after the break here it is
12251s Mexico and Columbia going all the way to
12252s Max
12253s [Applause]
12255s [Music]
12275s [Music]
12281s point
12284s [Music]
12306s [Music]
12310s o

12321s [Music]
12339s [Music]
12368s [Music]
12390s [Music]
12430s n
12432s [Music]
12448s after open and shut Affairs in both
12450s their first matches respectively
12452s Columbia and Mexico now finally have a
12454s chance to show us what they made of and
12456s to leave it all out there as we go all
12458s the way to our third map in this series
12461s the pick for Columbia was new Queen
12463s Street yeah and we've seen doomfist be
12466s pretty strong on new Queen Street uh in
12469s the past and I thinki has to be de in
12471s Mexico to be prepared for Colombia to
12473s come out with maybe something a little
12475s bit different a little bit more
12476s aggressive a dive oriented
12479s C again the push maps in the past we've
12481s seen teams try both approaches we've
12484s seen plenty of Rush compositions come
12485s out obviously involving your longer
12487s range hit scan pieces we had a a lot
12490s of Sombra Winston play as well but we
12494s may see a lot less of that going forward
12496s here doomfist though is definitely still
12497s a viable option especially with some
12499s players maybe considering SRA to be less
12501s of a sure thing she was often brought
12503s into really try and limit doomfist's
12505s Effectiveness shut down that power block
12506s and otherwise disrupt him in general and
12509s that's maybe why we started to see it on
12510s Samoa maybe why we might expect to see
12512s it here on beautiful new Queen Street
12515s and this is a match that basically
12516s decides you know which of Columbia and
12518s Mexico keep themselves off the bottom of
12519s this group they're both 011 having lost
12522s in 02s so win here would be great but
12525s map differential tough to claw back
12527s after you know facing a 02 here he'd
12530s definitely love to get two maps in the
12532s win
12533s column yes uh see potentially what these
12536s teams decide to do here early
12539s on what do it I I think they're probably
12544s just no it's not it's not bad I think
12547s they're just probably just meing a
12549s little bit though start things off uh I
12552s think sombra's like kind of fallen out
12554s of favor as Winston has just because of
12556s the damage output of uh fashion to not
12559s as easy to escape as Sombra anymore as
12562s uh both teams come out with that mirror
12564s matchup so we're going to see this Sigma
12566s mash and battle yet again as we've
12568s discussed uh we talked about it on Samoa
12571s Sigma definitely the the safest pick one
12573s of the most robust picks in the tank
12575s roll you can make right now cersi maybe
12577s not ready for all the damage coming from
12578s Angel Valu a very early ice Block Force
12580s but mix crucial environmental kill
12583s unfortunately it's going to take a lot
12584s more than that CHX is able to find two
12586s quick kills make it three and Mexico
12588s picking up where they left off super
12590s Gomez denied a kill on TRX by that wall
12594s yes I mean it seemed like columia they
12597s want to get quite aggressive I would say
12600s and push right on in and uh Mexico was
12603s more than Keen for the battle as few big
12606s kills early on the the kill on the
12608s Cersei is huge right getting the May out
12609s of the equation may just so much
12612s survivability for herself and the rest
12613s of the team and they'll get that bot mov
12616s and is uh going to get you know these
12618s fights like it kind of depends right
12620s like look at this wrapping all the way
12622s around like this fight goes pretty fast
12623s Mexico has a chance of taking checkpoint
12625s here I don't have that from colia
12627s responding very quickly with a May wall
12628s of their own as both teams actually pull
12630s back after extending their immortality
12632s fields are you ready for this though the
12634s air Matrix from Momo super go
12635s desperately trying to get back to safety
12637s and they do just in time enough time for
12639s mixfeed to get a sound Barry in play pet
12642s they're a little further behind in terms
12643s of that old charge here but this sound
12645s barrier might go for nothing if Columbia
12647s can't pick themselves up off the floor
12648s in this small room a big gravitic flux
12650s potentially there from Hysteria who gets
12652s dropped Cersei was below half when they
12654s hit the ground and that immortality
12656s field Was tantalizingly Out Of Reach
12658s drum able to find two that's important
12660s hug now on the back foot though that may
12662s makes it so hard to help out with super
12664s Gomez they're still able to hang on
12665s though and get rid of may now backed up
12668s by hug super Gomez should be able to
12670s hold their ground you know hysteria is
12672s still here uh still holding on put they
12676s find one H if this say if you could have
12678s kept hysteria alive you had some players
12680s coming off the respawn maybe you
12681s consider beating there uh and you're
12683s able to make that a a little bit more
12685s interesting but a decent first push of
12688s the barricade there for Mexico 27 m
12691s mightbe a little bit of a rivalry
12693s Brewing here between pet and
12695s mix both Lucio players have been gunning
12697s for each other in those previous fights
12699s after palad has send kining off the map
12701s for that environmental kill of that
12702s first fight crucially pet they have a
12705s sound barrier in Play here's a gratic
12708s flux from Super Gomez you pop inside the
12710s small room okay you've got the sound
12711s barrier comes out here great response
12713s pallet holding it just in time but oh
12714s you CAU inside the basti ultimate a
12717s Canon barage knocks you down and colia
12719s now starting to get out in front oh I
12722s mean that is huge there for colia as
12725s they're going to take the lead and not
12726s only are they going to take the lead a
12728s few know staggers here stagger on the
12729s Momo there towards the end you're going
12731s to get this first checkpoint potentially
12733s uh that is huge there for Columbia big
12736s ridic flocks from Super Gomez H combo is
12739s out of control because the gravitic flux
12740s comes in pet just sound barries it Dr
12743s goes okay I'm going to send three
12744s mortars into the same spot inside this
12746s flux your sound Barry isn't going to
12748s matter uh miscommunication there perhaps
12751s looks like immortality Feld deployed for
12753s drama they were full HP at the time
12755s Columbian are going to back away with
12757s now in play drum still has a che little
12759s flank angle and mix has a sound barrier
12760s so you can can recover from this
12763s especially if you get rid of chalu and
12764s so they do mix just Mi B rather just
12766s drop straight back down I don't think
12768s the May is ready for that at all had a
12770s slight blooper but Columbia still in a
12772s power position yeah a little bit of a a
12774s Custer there with the uh the immortality
12777s field look like you know just kind of
12779s could be wor could have been
12782s could imortality field basically
12785s is uh but does not matter does not
12788s impact the fight whatsoever as columia
12791s gets rolling blizzard here coming up
12793s nothing on the other side I mean you're
12795s in a Columbia's in a spot where they can
12796s finish the
12798s map blizzard here do you bait them into
12800s the small room and go for a blizzard yes
12802s you do c going to drop it down now it's
12803s not eaten up by Hyer at all there's
12805s going to be so many players caught in
12806s this there no way hysteria can back away
12808s from that there was a kinetic grasp but
12810s Cersei cleverly makes sure the blizzard
12812s is past the sigma's model and away from
12815s that hit box and now you have that
12817s massive combo yet again right you have
12819s that flux plus the artillery strike
12823s coming up here in a situation where
12824s Mexico may just need to like run onto
12827s the the barrier right just any type of
12829s star this has not been close so far
12832s speculative use here of the super Gomez
12835s oh there it is again and the immortality
12838s fill points save you because it is
12839s contacted by the mort strikes first it
12842s gets blown up and then the players
12844s trying to shelter under it are removed
12846s the Wombo Combo pays off and now mitv
12848s walks into the next fight with a sound
12849s barrier available
12852s so they're getting ready for uh Modern
12853s Warfare 3 artillery strikes coming down
12858s Mak a sound barrier here H doing a nice
12860s job there just staying alive on the
12862s outside trying to build that
12863s be's that here's that be coming up now
12866s at Matrix available for hug this is
12867s still very scary look how close the
12869s bodies and all of Mex getting forced
12871s into the back corner Angel going for a
12873s defensive m strike if I'm not mistaken
12875s and that is a stunning accretion
12876s catching aeria in midair hug in position
12879s to keep the rest of colia top po up now
12881s drama might be out of the piit but super
12883s Gomez is still looking fine the sigma's
12885s healthy But Here Comes pet H gets run
12888s down there mble to find the kill in the
12890s end and finally Columbia slowed up you
12893s can't get any closer to the end of the
12894s map though and it is a long this would
12896s be the runback of all run backs is uh
12901s 126 M for columia but you still got 4
12904s minutes so still a ton of time available
12908s for Mexico as they go this is
12910s interesting cuz Mexico goes to a comp I
12912s mean I didn't think like Genji Tracer
12913s right but uh they go to a comp that I
12916s thought maybe Columbia would trying to
12917s do something a little bit more know Fast
12919s Pace with the Doom in the
12922s mix Mexico setting up in tube here the
12925s Tracer Genji play with the doomfist now
12927s Mexico realizing they cannot hang in a
12930s sigma mirror on this
12931s map St does at least have that medial
12934s strike available but another Cersei
12935s blizzard could really throw a wrinkle in
12937s this here comes the blade from trobo can
12939s you get purchased no immortality field
12941s is enough now but hisia drops on in gets
12944s rid of drummer will be the last one
12946s standing now as colia once more Tak an L
12949s yeah and Columbia ends up using their
12950s blizzard there right so uh end up
12952s throwing the blizzard in didn't get
12953s anything for it you'll have to have a p
12956s it they'll go back and bring trouble
12957s back into the
12959s fight ant Matrix here doesn't really do
12962s much for Mexico in the sense that like
12964s nobody else is really kind of like
12965s firing through it uh you know besides
12968s probably a little bit of a boost in
12971s healing resources but when here and you
12973s get this checkpoint you're kind of back
12976s in
12977s it Angel V
12979s looking the pulse bomb
12981s here dude there's no way Colombia can
12984s lose this I
12985s mean
12987s they the Trac does have to be respected
12989s but it's a gravic flux here oh the SI
12991s over the wall all right no connect there
12993s sound barer was in play for mix great
12995s response to what could have been a a
12997s frustrating Tracer Al Columbia now back
12999s in the hot sea
13001s and here's the brutal part with push in
13003s that like Columbia wins that one fight
13006s it basically erases those like two three
13008s fights in a row that Mexico had won like
13010s they're basically starting at scratch
13012s right it's just extremely punishing uh
13015s especially now you know right at 2
13017s minutes off the clock from the last time
13019s Colombia had control of the bot as you
13022s Mexico you're going to need to win three
13024s four fights in a row to get back to you
13026s know a in a spot where you can seriously
13029s you know get that bot over the line no
13031s flux to guarantee connection with the
13034s basan ultimate so drama just throws it
13035s out sub Gomez under extreme pressure now
13038s and hysteria looking extremely healthy
13040s sound barrier from pet an attempt there
13042s and here is the power of Genji up
13045s against the Bastion great deflect there
13046s Trux just removing drama from the
13049s equation and they'll be switching over
13050s towards the Tracer now going for
13051s something a little bit different maybe
13052s Columbia hybriding up their composition
13055s to try and deal with this
13057s diet so Mexico will end up winning so
13060s let let's let's try and plot a course
13062s for Mexico to come back right you're
13064s going to get the bot all the way back
13066s here you don't have that first
13067s checkpoint here uh you're looking at
13070s potentially winning a fight off of
13072s nanoade right you know potentially uh
13074s know ideally you win it with just the
13076s blade right you can kind of like save
13078s that Nano but nanoade potential here
13081s okay get this one out get a kill here
13083s this is huge getting Super G versus
13085s massive the extra kills all really just
13087s a garnish there for Trux so there's the
13090s now we're plotting I guess our course
13092s here that's a big fight win for Mexico
13093s they only have a pulse for the next
13095s though yeah and they end up using the
13097s meteor strike is that like a you know
13098s metor strike with like a pulse spot
13100s maybe slow some players down like you
13102s know an interesting way to kind of use
13103s it but really
13106s oh gets a pick but he actually I think
13108s got hit with an accretion there uh when
13111s we're on that overhead map for just a
13112s brief second it said stunned so looks
13114s like he actually got hit with the
13115s accretion I mean that is brutal because
13117s the the win condition there is to
13119s actually have him get a kill with a
13120s pulse bomb like anybody is good enough
13123s uh so to not get anything and then have
13126s the the bot now head back into the the
13128s other side of the map that is brutal
13130s like worst case scenario you have
13131s everything now of your Columbia gtic
13133s flux both support ultimates and a
13134s blizzard to play with 20 seconds a very
13137s unlikely scenario for Mexico but this is
13139s where the climb begins if they want to
13141s stay alive in this series good a crean
13142s connection on CHX but instantly healed
13144s up here comes the gravitic flux and Momo
13146s was the only target for that ability
13148s Anna wiped off the face of the Earth
13151s here still no blade to work with pet
13152s able to definitely avoid the accretion
13154s but you don't have the staying power
13156s left if you are this team Mexico squad
13158s and it's just palad attempting to try
13160s and stall things out some presence
13161s maintain over the bot but not nearly
13163s enough an Val forced to Blink away there
13166s no recall available hysteria coming in a
13167s try and give it a tickle Cersei wants to
13169s move up power block here for the
13170s doomfist to buy a bit of extra time
13172s overtime still being held on to but
13174s Angel Val's out of blinks they can't get
13175s away D eyes out there for the Tracer and
13178s aor again wants the stall TR is back
13180s here genus ter least is able to find the
13182s kill on the M but it's not enough Here
13185s Comes Lucio once more palet throws
13187s himself at the objective but it will be
13189s Colombia prevailing and moving on to
13192s take a win here in this matchup of
13194s Central American teams oh man as this
13197s goes right down to the wies now Colombia
13200s obviously an extremely impressive like
13203s long distance push I do I feel like
13205s Mexico had a chance man like Angel he
13208s doesn't get hit with that accretion and
13209s ends up dying there I mean you have a
13212s you're a PO spom away uh from being like
13216s what like a junk fight at the end of the
13218s the map from completing it in the result
13221s going the other direction so uh although
13223s Columbia wins it feels like these two
13224s teams so evenly matched so interesting
13227s as well we thought that Colombia might
13228s actually stray away from a map that
13230s necessitated a s comp and you can play
13233s different things on new Queen Street but
13235s right now on this particular patch that
13236s seemed to be the way to go and bizarrely
13239s this time it was Mexico who struggled in
13241s the mirror who ended up switching off
13243s trying to go for the doomfist approach
13245s fascinating interplay between these two
13247s rosters and it's a tough loss especially
13249s for for Mexico I think because they've
13251s already gone up against Finland their
13253s next opponent is going to be South Korea
13255s very very hard to now come out of this
13257s group with a win yeah difficult team
13260s obviously to go up against there with
13261s your uh final match if you're Mexico but
13265s uh put up a really good fight here uh
13267s against Columbia although off to a
13269s really uh rough start there on Queen
13271s Street give up 127 M I think or 126 like
13274s still uh had an opportunity to
13277s potentially get this one really close
13279s towards the end uh it's just push like
13282s if you give up that much push of the
13284s barrier early on you you need to win
13286s like four fights in a row to get that
13288s back and they just couldn't do it and
13289s the road ahead for Colombia includes a
13291s matchup against Finland that might be
13293s one to decide second place Colombia will
13295s have to step it up in a big way though
13297s if they want to have any chance of
13299s qualifying for blz on we're can head
13301s over to our desk to break this one down
13302s a fantastic competitive matchup between
13305s Mexico and Colombia sees an exciting
13309s [Music]
13313s conclusion all right welcome back
13314s everybody so is so Frozen again so it's
13317s going to be me and
13319s Johnny oh all right it's it's all good
13322s all good you and me Danny let's break it
13323s down yeah no yeah yeah we got this we
13325s got this I mean this was uh of course uh
13328s Colombia getting the win but I mean it
13330s was it was I I would say it was a very
13332s close M I think Mexico put up a very
13334s good fight but at the end it just wasn't
13336s enough uh for them to get the win right
13338s I mean look this was this was the first
13340s three map series we' had so far in the
13342s World Cup group s right so it was really
13345s entertaining it was kind of what we
13346s wanted to see right we wanted to see a
13348s back and forth match up and both teams
13349s battling it out and it was a really
13352s entertaining match I mean they were
13353s really evenly matched you know starting
13355s off on Samoa um it okay well I I can't
13361s see soe so she's just talking into my
13363s head but look coming out coming out here
13366s I do think that it was uh a really good
13367s showing from Colombia playing the sigma
13369s composition I think that super gas has
13371s some great fluxes you know here and then
13373s later on push as well combining with
13375s drummer on the Bastion uh you know
13378s that's a very powerful combination you
13379s combine the flux with Bastion uh you
13381s just ensures getting some kills right so
13384s I think it was a good showing from
13386s Colombia there really there was no
13387s player that really stood out by
13388s themselves it was a team effort was a
13390s team coming together playing a May
13392s composition with the sigma and getting
13394s the job done so a great showing from the
13396s entire team to be honest yeah also I
13398s from what I saw I think Colombia just
13399s came out with fors like they they
13401s weren't scared you know they they wanted
13403s to keep the pace moving and like they
13404s were like really committed to every
13406s fight and I think that really made a
13408s difference uh for throughout the whole
13410s series as well and of course uh the very
13413s last map this map uh new Queen Street
13416s you know they made it all the way to the
13417s end I don't know how far they got was it
13420s they're like literally at the very end
13422s when Mexico somehow yeah somehow stopped
13425s them but then after that they had to win
13427s so many more uh Team fights but they
13429s just couldn't uh close it out so it was
13431s Colombia getting the win at the end yeah
13435s that was a that was a good beat as I
13436s think Columbia just the team in general
13438s they it was a team effort Johnny like
13440s you said yeah definitely roll s great
13444s job to Columbia Mexico unfortunately uh
13448s you know two losses right now yeah soe
13452s are you are you back I was back through
13454s the through the entire thing I just
13456s didn't want to you know throw anyone off
13458s uh by surprise speak I can I may speak
13461s and so I shall no but honestly one thing
13464s I just keep on wanting to hammer home
13466s about this Colombian team is just
13469s imagine you're playing throughout the
13472s qualifier with eqo you have that star
13474s power on your Ruster and then your head
13476s coach has to sub in last minute to
13479s actually
13481s you know take that space and yet that
13483s team still looks like such a well-oiled
13485s machine they are on the same page
13488s they've been performing so so very well
13490s once again of course shout out to Mexico
13492s love what we saw from them on New K new
13495s Queen Street that would have been the
13496s run back of all run backs if they would
13498s have done that one so very exciting
13501s until the very end but it just could not
13503s get done in at the very end so yeah
13507s tough L loss for Mexico but a great
13509s performance and another great showing
13511s from Team Colombia they're passing the
13513s vibe check they are getting the victory
13515s today as well which is so exciting and
13518s now our next match will feature the team
13520s from China and Hong Kong and we will
13522s break it all down for you after this
13528s break
13531s first any deals any
13539s deals wait it's not over not

13747s hello beautiful people this is day two
13749s of our round robbing group stage and we
13752s are getting ready for our fourth game of
13755s the day welcome back one and all Zoe
13758s here as well as Danny and Johnny and we
13761s are embarking on the journey during this
13763s group stage to find out which eight team
13766s will make it to Bisson forward at the
13768s playoffs not only are they fighting for
13771s the honor and Glory no we are also
13774s looking at a price pool which is
13777s crowdfunded so up until the final day we
13780s do not know what uh what size this bag
13784s is going to take on and what the winner
13786s will be taking on but one thing we know
13788s is that every single player
13789s participating in the O World Cup that
13792s means every single player out of those
13794s 43 teams will get a share of it which is
13796s just so exciting let's take a look at
13798s our standings so we can get a better
13801s picture of what happened thus far it's
13803s only been one day of play yes but each
13806s day is stacked we had six matches
13809s yesterday this is the fourth for today
13812s and the only teams we have yet to see is
13814s a team from China and Team USA and you
13817s know what we're in for a treat because
13819s the team from China will be playing next
13822s as they are going up against the team
13825s from Hong Kong this is going to be very
13827s exciting because both of these teams are
13829s featuring veteran players we all know
13831s and love so let's dive in let's take a
13834s look at those starting rusters starting
13837s with Hong Kong they unfortunately took a
13839s loss in their first match yesterday what
13842s did we learn from their performance yeah
13845s it was a tough matchup yesterday for
13846s them against Thailand I do think that
13849s they played a bit too passively and they
13850s couldn't really get going they had some
13852s some individual great moments on Samoa
13854s for example but they're obviously
13856s changing things up here a little bit um
13858s I were expecting them to play kurami
13860s here on the soour like we're seeing in
13862s these highlights right here but instead
13863s they're going to sub in despair let's
13865s see what they got cooking in that regard
13867s but if they come out you you look at
13869s these highlights like shaan and Kumi
13871s having like pretty good moments um I do
13873s think that if they play a bit more
13874s aggressively and they take some space
13876s and free up their damage players they
13877s could put out the pretty good
13878s performance today and Danny they will be
13880s playing against a team from China we
13882s have been very excited to get a first
13884s look at this team who do you have your
13885s eyes on oh I mean team from China has
13889s always been a Powerhouse in the
13890s OverWatch World Cup right I think and
13891s they're filled with so many great
13893s players if I had to choose one I don't
13895s know this is hard chai Le guu monk links
13898s that they're all great I'm going to have
13900s to say guy I'm a big gu fan he made he
13903s made a he made a name for himself with
13904s this Winston and his Primal blade right
13907s uh in OverWatch World Cup so I'm looking
13908s out for
13909s GU I think you're not alone on this uh
13912s as you said historically uh the team
13915s from China has been placing in that top
13918s Echelon in the O World Cup they came
13920s second two years in a row so obviously
13923s they're going to be so very eager to
13925s take the trophy home this time around
13927s let's see if they can get it done first
13929s thing first though let's look at our
13931s predictions for this one I had to go
13934s with the team from China I do think I
13937s know exactly what I can expect from
13939s those players they've all had an
13941s incredible year in their professional
13943s careers and I think they're going to
13945s round it out with that OverWatch World
13947s Cup placement maybe number one this year
13950s uh I'm on the same page as soe I with a
13953s team from China you know they got big
13954s names it's a lot of players that we've
13957s seen uh and I think I'm you know I I
13960s think it's going to be China team team
13962s from China yeah I agree with you guys I
13965s mean they are one of the favorites to
13966s win the entire tournament uh we have
13969s we're playing this week so um I do think
13971s that in this matchup they have to be
13973s favored absolutely let us know what you
13976s think of course on socials #w c2023
13980s we're now heading into a quick break as
13982s we are getting ready for this next game

14413s welcome back everybody to the 2023
14415s OverWatch World Cup our group C here
14418s it's starting to take shape we've
14420s already seen plenty from Thailand now
14421s after their couple of games but as a
14423s team in this group that we've yet to see
14425s take the field the M might be the most
14428s most known quantity for us here in the
14430s World Cup based on previous performance
14433s yeah it's uh the team from China right I
14435s mean they have some tremendous players
14437s who have really you know made their name
14439s in just the history of OverWatch right
14441s not even you know outside of OverWatch
14443s World Cup and the pro level so uh
14445s excited to see them play today and as
14447s was pointed out on the desk we have two
14449s consecutive second place finishes for
14451s the team from China they've been so
14453s close each and every time uh we expect
14456s to see this roster go a long way this
14457s year last time of course it was a a
14459s tough loss back in 2019 at the hands of
14461s the United States there live at BlizzCon
14464s incredible atmosphere the crowd was
14466s really behind that game and of course if
14468s make it there this year expect it to be
14470s no different Hong Kong on the other side
14472s of things didn't show us a whole lot
14473s from Thailand right a very one-sided
14475s game in which as it was also noted on
14477s the desk they were pretty passive pretty
14479s reluctant to take the initiative up
14480s against a team like this team from China
14482s you had better be ready to take some
14484s control over the game or it will be over
14485s before you can blink yeah and uh Hong
14488s Kong with IRP in the starting lineup
14490s right now they also have mango on the
14493s team which a lot of uh people from
14494s previous World Cups for remember this is
14496s fourth OverWatch World Cup it's got to
14498s be like one of of the the most uh
14500s represented players out of all of you
14502s know the OverWatch World Cups we've had
14503s to be on a team for four times is a a
14506s huge accomplishment yeah I mean on the
14509s side of the team from China shy leave
14510s and gue are attending their third
14513s OverWatch World Cup again this team is
14516s uh very well proved at the top levels of
14518s OverWatch to expect to see them come out
14520s strong here seeing Shai on hit scan
14523s makes me happy in the Widowmaker again
14525s it's not the riskiest pick we've seen
14526s quite a few teams go for this here and
14528s Kong had better have a way to put
14529s pressure on this position yeah and and
14532s gue is known really for like his Winston
14534s play right pretty good Reinhardt as well
14537s uh if they want to play aggressive
14538s Winston's not really the meta right now
14539s with a lot of the high you know damage
14541s heroes in the meta so we'll see how he
14543s goes on Doom Hong Kong looking to try
14545s and close the gap here with this junker
14547s Queen base composition one of the few
14548s teams looking to leverage that here shy
14551s now will be accosted break Le and El
14553s leave has already dealt with despair so
14554s it's just the Traer up for Hong Kong IP
14557s they're having to try and fight away
14558s coping a lot of pressure as guay comes
14560s in with that doomfist and yeah it is
14562s pretty one-sided to start off this map
14564s first team to control ruins will be the
14566s team from CH yeah and the pressure is
14568s really difficult to deal with right
14570s because uh Shai you have to deal with
14573s him on the Widowmaker but you have leave
14575s in your backline on Tracer you know one
14577s of the best players in the world where
14580s uh splits your team can't really focus
14582s on one of them uh makes it pretty
14585s difficult and we're going to have a
14585s Genji swap I like this to get a little
14587s bit more verticality to train challenge
14588s that Widowmaker yeah but how much backup
14592s is Shion going to have here what a
14593s biotic grenade there from monk with some
14595s of the most filthy plays we've seen this
14598s year on that particular hero nothing
14601s really that Hong Kong can do to answer
14602s that here pretty tough for the Jun of
14604s Queen will just get surrounded and Shai
14606s has layers upon layers upon layers of
14608s abstraction and protection here they can
14610s just take their time and find shots like
14612s that that's a head shot on enemy Genji
14614s by the way te from China are having a
14616s comfortable start yeah in the comp Army
14618s I mean a really nice shot there and he's
14620s got the infight the comp here from uh
14622s you know Hong Kong like they they have
14623s to play group together right in in it's
14626s very difficult especially here on ruins
14627s when you're trying to make your way back
14629s towards the point it's like just like
14630s really close corridors and that allows
14633s guwe to get big value out of seismic
14635s slam get those big empowered punches uh
14637s makes it difficult for them to even come
14639s out the last time they tried to make a
14640s push and we actually saw like a real you
14641s know fight uh it looked like gu had got
14644s like two or three players with a stun
14646s finally some from Hong Kong sh gets
14648s caught out by a biotic or but Le was
14650s waiting in the wings with a pul fromom
14651s the whole time and never really had to
14653s make use of it Hong Kong finally get
14655s themselves into a position at least to
14657s dictate the pace of play but end up
14659s losing out when it comes to overall
14660s coordination Goose finishes arri K off
14663s here and H Kong again evicted they're
14665s going to have one more chance to have a
14666s crack at this they never could flip yeah
14669s a Shai goes over to the 76 to get back
14671s in a little bit faster but also he can
14674s feel a lot of that pressure that's
14676s coming on in where now now you have
14678s Genji in Doom all making a play okay big
14682s solo call Essence play fromp here
14684s looking at pressure back towards the
14685s point bit of extra healing for r3k after
14687s the doomfist switch here Shai looks
14689s completely unbothered by the Doom right
14690s in front of them going a medial Strike
14692s Up To The High Ground for GU way and
14693s Shion has been taken down IP trying to
14696s keep some capture pressure on the point
14698s but eventually has to get involved with
14699s the healings needed most shy that was
14701s ready to receive there's no fade
14703s available for IRP whatsoever and the
14705s team from China with a very strong way
14707s to open this series 100 to zero Hong
14710s Kong tries to make some adjustments
14712s there comp wise to you know make a play
14714s for shy and uh really you know gets uh
14718s they weren't able to really access him
14720s in the backline anyway even when he
14721s switched from uh know the Widow right uh
14724s know maybe got him a little bit scared
14725s got him uh know going over to the 76 and
14728s once he was on Soldier there was nothing
14731s they could uh really do to really access
14732s him right has that Sprint the ability to
14734s just get out of Harm's Way I did like
14736s there was a moment there from Hong Kong
14737s where they were able to comeand shout
14738s push in I don't know how shy Force foul
14741s of a biotic or sometimes that happens
14744s awesome all skill fromp but essentially
14747s you know the team from China are able to
14749s leave leave so entrenched as Hong Kong
14752s try and push out of Spawn he doesn't
14754s really have to part with the pulse for
14756s at all there he's just able to focus the
14757s individual players down as they sort of
14759s trickle out Hong Kong really have to
14760s play as a unit here they're going to
14762s stay with the juner queen setup yeah
14764s it'll be Echo for both sides uh which no
14766s Echo obviously pretty strong hero in the
14769s we see a lot here on well asly nice
14773s focusing beam is uh the one hero that's
14775s usually obviously really had to be
14778s really strong against the echo is Tracer
14780s so you see both teams also bringing in
14782s that Tracer try and pest through these
14784s Echo out of the sky but the team from
14786s China taking the point first and me it's
14788s important right for leave to try and
14789s zero in on shion's position pretty early
14792s on H you offload those cool Downs get
14794s the burst damage out and this is yeah
14797s this is getting rough here for Kong
14798s trying to make their way out of Spawn
14800s but the team from China take a really
14801s far forward position and able to
14803s leverage like a ptic grenade thrown into
14805s Hong Kong spawn it's tough to play out
14808s from yeah and I wonder if uh you maybe
14811s have to switch off the queen here to try
14812s and uh know get out right because uh
14815s Queen you know you have the shout right
14816s to be able to kind of like speed
14817s yourself up give yourself a little bit
14818s of help but can't really peel or you
14821s know do anything for the rest of the
14822s team so might have to make a change here
14824s in terms of
14825s tank shy constantly in here and crazy
14829s tries to go for a bit of a bash there
14831s shy not too bothered by it plenty of
14833s healing coming in again monk has a
14835s really safe
14837s perch attempt there I think link are not
14840s feeling the bite of that ax though r3k
14842s is forced back once more tries a pulse
14845s bomb here throws it on it oh my goodness
14847s it looks like uh looks like gue actually
14849s uh you know and M crazy actually like
14852s collided into each other there uh and
14854s then the pulse bom actually just lands
14856s in him crazy on the ground
14858s uh yeah yeah being knocked down there
14860s wasn't much that could be done cuz from
14861s Shai's perspective I'm not even sure
14863s where he's trying to stick that pulse
14864s from um perhaps on the pita so I think
14867s sh probably gets what he came uh what he
14869s wanted anyway n here for M that's going
14872s over towards Goose some serious
14874s aggression now and again trying to make
14875s it harder for I'm crazy
14876s to swag can't be serious was it the
14880s knife that threw him off course that's
14882s unclear either way leave dupes the
14883s junker Queen and now going to take the
14885s fight straight to r3k definitely
14887s avoiding
14889s Rampage oh oh wait Rampage coming in
14891s here from Le does he connect yeah with
14893s r3k mean that is huge right you're going
14895s to have the break here with rally not
14897s going to be able to kind of Fight You
14899s know the remaining players you know
14900s links are keeping everybody topped up
14903s yeah this is uh probably how we drew it
14906s up a little bit Matt the team from China
14907s are season veterans at the highest
14909s levels of OverWatch that you can find
14912s and we knew that it would be tough for
14913s Hong Kong to put a scratch on them here
14916s couple of interesting moments over the
14917s course of these two Rous but is very
14919s very much the show for the team from
14921s China Jalan again feeling the rough end
14924s of that focusing beam and will be an
14925s overtime here there won't be much more
14927s to be said about Elios as the team from
14929s China start with a 1 to zero lead yeah I
14932s think it's really difficult because you
14933s want to match the speed of that type of
14935s composition right especially like
14937s doomfist uh you know Echo Tracer uh but
14941s if you you really can't kind of play at
14943s that speed it becomes very difficult to
14946s contend with that especially when you're
14947s not running something like that's a
14949s little bit more dive oriented of their
14950s own so uh gue and Shai go crazy there in
14953s that first map yeah let's look back over
14955s for a briefly not a whole lot to see but
14957s I kind of want to ask the question gu
14959s leave shy monk Linka how do you how do
14961s you sort of beat this you know what I
14963s mean where do you even start because
14965s it's not just like you know great
14966s coordination great individual uh you
14968s know prowess great calling great
14971s awareness great you know I mean so you
14973s either need to you either need to match
14975s the pace of play which would be like a
14977s doomfist space composition or really
14980s slow it down and play like some like
14981s Sigma you know maybe you do like Sigma
14983s Baptist with the the uh Lucio in the mix
14986s right I know give yourself a little bit
14988s of Mobility there but I I feel like kind
14989s of like ending somewhere in the middle
14991s where like I feel like queen sits where
14993s queen wants to like brawl out a little
14995s bit more right can't really can't really
14997s poke can't really dive I feel like
14999s that's where you'll see pretty poor
15000s results yeah fair enough maybe that sort
15003s of rush composition finds itself in the
15005s mid-range between the sigma setups and
15007s the D compositions with doomfist and
15009s you're not doing either of those things
15012s uh nearly as well uh as what the team
15015s from China can do I like that maybe
15017s focus on one sort of end of the spectrum
15019s or the other if you're Hong Kong I mean
15021s they have a chance to pick a map that
15023s might lend and might give us a bit of
15024s insight into what their strategy will be
15027s again uh it's their last map pick so
15029s they're going to have to they're going
15031s to have to make it work and find a way
15032s to stand even on an individual
15034s fundamental level against these
15036s incredible players from the team from
15037s China Yeah by I think this is a great
15040s map pick right uh being able to
15042s potentially slow the game down here you
15044s know with some Sigma base compositions I
15046s think uh you really challenge that dive
15049s that's going to come out of yeah like
15051s that circuit Royal being chosen here by
15053s Hong Kong after a slow start in this
15055s series perhaps they'll find a way to
15057s start to put some pressure on their
15058s opponents as the team from China look to
15060s be pretty strong out of the
15063s [Music]

15217s [Music]
15227s [Music]
15233s [Music]
15247s it's the raw pace of play from the team
15250s from China that really stuns Hong Kong
15253s as we see a very quick first map of ilos
15256s gushr on the doomfist and again we had
15258s both leave and Shai take turns at tracer
15261s on every level it looked like the team
15262s from China was just a little bit
15264s stronger yes as uh they play at a really
15266s fast pace you know with that doomfist
15269s composition uh we do have some subs here
15271s so mango ji like I was talking about
15273s earlier right know fantastic player
15275s who's played in a bunch of the over
15277s watch World Cups in K come in for Hong
15280s Kong all right mango G looking to lend
15283s that veterancy here to a team that's
15285s definitely found themselves in in hot
15287s water pretty early on we haven't seen
15289s anything from the team from China so far
15290s in this group but we knew their players
15293s so well having seen them play at the top
15294s level already but we discussed about how
15297s you play against this right we saw a
15299s rush style composition from Hong Kong on
15301s ilios you know a comp that's you know
15303s neither very very slow neither super
15305s fast all our dive so C Royal might see
15308s Hong Kong go for something a little bit
15309s more on the slower side of the spectrum
15311s and maybe give an opportunity to find
15313s some advantages here but they're going
15315s to be attacking first I think the team
15317s from China are elected to defend so
15319s we're going to have to see some real
15320s prowess from Hong Kong to see them move
15322s out of the gates so uh looks like we got
15325s a little bit of a pause here potentially
15327s know mango GI just getting getting the
15329s VC working here uh but the thing that'll
15332s be interesting is is like typically he's
15334s like a uh you know very good Flex
15336s support player where where uh you look
15339s like are you going to play Baptist like
15340s we've seen teams play Zen here where I
15343s think the Zen gives like a a pretty
15345s static dive Target there uh for you know
15348s guu and shy and leave to really go after
15351s which like might be a bit dangerous so
15353s I'm curious to see what uh they have
15355s mango ji pilot would you like to see
15357s that would you like to see the team from
15358s China play Dive on a map like this I
15361s mean they're already they already look
15363s like they're you know pound-for-pound a
15365s much stronger roster maybe can ignore
15367s the sort of normal conventions when it
15369s comes to comparing compositions on a map
15371s like circuit Royal which we know is more
15373s commonly uh lends itself to those po
15376s well what I mean we've seen uh you know
15378s from them in the past where even When
15381s dive is not the best and even when
15383s Winston's not the best right they kind
15385s of have gue you know pilot that hero so
15388s like would it surprise me to see them uh
15390s you know play play uh like doom and
15394s whatnot probably not um looks like
15396s though at least here at the start uh
15398s coming out with guwe on Sigma so uh guwe
15403s historically is like a main tank player
15405s right you know not somebody who kind of
15407s like Pilots a lot of those like off
15409s tanks or you know however we you know
15411s used to kind of think they were off
15412s tanks now everybody in the just a
15413s regular main tank rooll uh leave and shy
15416s though on like a double you know long
15418s range hit scan damage uh should be quite
15422s effective
15423s though
15424s hello yeah I me we saw
15428s I mean the finals this year shy on the
15430s soj was just absolutely cracked it was
15433s incredible make we already saw a little
15434s bit of that from Shai on ilios it was it
15437s was frightening so Hong Kong here might
15439s look to again try and sort of match this
15441s going with you know double sniper here
15444s hitting a lot of these players in
15445s individual one versus
15447s ones yeah and uh me really tough task
15451s right coming off the bench playing the
15452s Widowmaker here going up against Shai
15454s one of the uh best hit scan players
15456s we've like ever seen in OverWatch right
15458s as uh get a jump shot there put some
15461s damage on the GU doesn't hit karumi
15463s being very careful about this angle not
15465s really swinging this widely at all just
15468s grappling up here shion's been allowed
15470s to make some decent progress here and
15471s is's able to play from the bridge for
15472s the time being as long as you know he
15474s respects the DPS from the team from
15476s China he's in a good spot to allow this
15478s Camp to move up can put a lot of Shield
15481s pressure down with that Hanzo right
15483s Force G way back and maybe just create
15485s some space where you can get top Bridge
15487s control which it looks like they've
15488s done jion still playing for that bridge
15491s here shy and leave both looking at that
15493s same angle here and G is taking a ton of
15495s damage in the front line the Discord orb
15498s there something to bear in mind
15499s obviously both tanks wearing it for the
15500s time being Shan takes a gling blow it's
15503s going to be Kumi getting the better of
15504s the shy okay now we have a five versus
15506s four Kumi starting to get a little bit
15508s more confident moving up it's only leave
15510s on the soone here monk may have to
15512s leverage some of that damage to even the
15514s score yeah well he knows that no unless
15517s yeah unless he kind of closes the Gap
15519s right you know that is a large distance
15521s advantage that the Widowmaker has over
15523s the soldier so oh some really big shots
15527s here is it's going to be a few that
15529s should give them first point yeah
15531s starting to build some confidence here
15533s are Hong Kong winning in some of those 1
15535s V ones we're dealing with Shai and Le by
15538s the way such celebrated DPS players yeah
15540s FX here from Goose Kumi gets caught in
15543s that one so there's actually a chance
15544s for China to move up I guess team Hong
15546s Kong able to really apply enough
15549s pressure off the back of all those picks
15551s from karumi that's that's hard to watch
15555s yeah I mean really nice stuff from KY
15557s able to find a lot of those pcks but
15559s just not enough to get that first
15561s checkpoint is uh it's going to be M
15564s crazy using the amrix here just trying
15565s to back them up a little bit maybe they
15567s thought they could catch a few players
15568s you know getting quite aggressive around
15570s the corner but they don't end up getting
15573s anybody there so uh that's huge for the
15575s team from China they're going to have
15576s double support now down to a minute and
15579s 40 Kumi again takes to the skies link is
15581s going to be caught inside the FL shy
15583s response though mango dry gets taken
15585s down inight here for both Widow makers
15588s yeah mango J ended up having the
15589s Transcendence there which would have
15590s been huge right as uh they end up
15592s getting L up with that R they take him
15595s out oh sh so aggressive Ki in deep
15598s trouble leave up catching it with a head
15600s shot absolute filth here from Le the soj
15603s now starting to leave more than just a
15605s mark and Hong Kong down to 1 minute and
15608s 10
15609s seconds double infight out from those
15611s widows here at least there's a
15612s Transcendence to work with for mango
15614s driver but that doesn't do Squad if shy
15616s is going to be hitting those heads same
15617s for leave yeah they just got to I think
15619s that'll be the hardest part right is
15621s getting him near the fight without him
15622s taking significant damage and
15624s potentially either forcing out the
15626s transcendant or taking him out right Zen
15628s such a glass Cannon of a hero charion
15631s again wants to quickly reassume that
15633s bridge position I'm quite sure he feels
15636s the pressure now as the is ticking down
15638s to 40 seconds a dragon strike here this
15639s is going to provoke some movement r3k
15641s trying to a goose Ray inside of it
15643s looked like it worked there's the sigma
15645s down charion now can take this off angle
15647s but still needs to respect leave it's
15648s going to be monk though striking again
15650s charion is down but Monk Is punished for
15652s playing such an advanced position Sho
15655s may be in a spot here to slow things
15657s down for Hong Kong they realize this is
15659s their best chance to get this first
15660s checkpoint and chai getting zero targets
15663s being served up to him Kumi able just
15665s grael to that High Ground we a meter and
15669s change away and gu's back yeah guwe
15671s makes it back into the fight and has
15673s Acra flux in play here dangerous for
15676s linga able to use those exo boots to
15677s stay alive for the time being Goose
15679s takes Shion down and here's a flux from
15680s goose someone has to touch the oh it's
15684s shades of San Francisco versus Atlanta
15687s mat they give up the checkpoint as Hong
15689s Kong get an extension yes gu goes for
15692s the flux there and sometimes the sigma
15695s right when you use that gravitic flux
15696s obvious L want to go up in the the the
15699s sky you get a little bit out of the sky
15701s box there of the payload contest and it
15703s just probably happens in a game of
15705s inches there is uh that'll be first
15707s point
15709s taken okay 2 minutes to work with here
15712s Hong Kong though not a lot else outside
15715s of that time bank to give them
15718s confidence M close to a Transcendence oh
15721s there it is
15722s mango turned into scrap shy as well
15726s might be just holding on to this infite
15728s here waiting for Kumi to build it up
15729s it's going to be a little while though
15730s monk taken down but chalion picked off
15733s there is a flank Happening Here for Hong
15735s Kong we'll see if it pays off because
15737s the rest of them are struggling in the
15739s main fight as goes over to the Genji
15742s here uh went over to Z last dude Shai's
15745s aim is so sick uh you got to have like a
15748s you know if you're not going to play
15749s like a Lucio o nice deflect there is uh
15752s not going to play like a Lucio to get
15753s the speed up to that High Ground you got
15755s to give the a hero that can challenge
15758s that where the Genji fits right
15761s in all right once to that scary minute
15764s Mark Shan hoping to build a blade in the
15766s next few moments has to respect though
15768s the potential for shy and Le to
15769s immediately take him out of the fight he
15772s has to be careful while also taking the
15774s opportunity to get this longrange
15775s shuriken damage monk with the
15777s transcenders that would be bad news for
15779s a dragon blade that's for sure this is
15780s going to be a very explosive fight with
15782s a lot of ultimates leverage yes it looks
15784s like uh you know both teams just trying
15786s to build oh look at that look how fast
15788s they're able to capitalize that right
15789s it's a really nice cretion there from gu
15793s and then Lee finishes off with the nice
15795s shot love this from karumi though really
15797s standing Toe to Toe with shy lead now
15799s trying to get rid of the Widowmaker but
15800s there's a lot of pressure ACC comes in
15801s and karumi takes down both DPS from the
15803s team from China there's still the issue
15805s of the gravitic flux to deal with though
15807s karumi hoping to put some pressure on
15808s monk but they get back around the corner
15810s and good is down graffic flux that comes
15812s out from r3k and Hong Kong have a real
15814s crack at this yes karum has hit some
15817s really impressive shots on the
15819s Widowmaker especially coming in as a sub
15821s for this map right you know uh the team
15824s from China obviously no Subs coming into
15826s this one I keep everybody in shy one of
15828s the best widows in the world and karumi
15830s has put on a really nice performance and
15832s unanswered in sight here all the info in
15834s the hands of the team from China shalan
15836s interrupted as he tries to go for the
15838s Dragon Blade ACC sends him off course
15840s leave going to get involved now with the
15841s overclock the Transcendence is fine but
15843s it's not going to stop the first damage
15844s and shy take shion's head CLE off the
15847s team from China use the information
15850s behind infight and the overclock to
15852s retake yeah really uh really nice uh you
15856s know play there from Hong Kong even to
15858s get it that close right know towards
15860s that second checkpoint where know team
15863s from China they had built up a ton of
15865s ultimates and karumi hadit some nice
15867s shots start to get the payload moving
15868s they get that Dragon Blade but uh China
15870s able to cycle through all their cool
15872s Downs do a nice job of holding on there
15874s at the end I like how you pointed out
15876s just how quick leave is able to follow
15877s up on this accretion that hits Shion in
15880s midair he's lying prone right so we
15881s stand in mid a and leave just instantly
15883s flicks over and finishes the Genji off
15886s with a rail gun really hard to play
15888s under those circumstances because it's
15889s not just that particular combo that's
15891s hostile to you is playing Genji you're
15893s dealing with uh Zen that can kick the CR
15895s out of you Transcendence that shuts down
15897s Your Dragon Blade the constant threat of
15900s either shy or leave just picking you off
15901s here if this is the comp we get from the
15903s team for what's up I mean this would be
15906s uh interesting right aari with a aari
15910s with a junker queen and a hero that's a
15914s you know interesting setup potentially
15916s uh leave of the geni pretty strong so
15922s of yeah
15925s KY nice head shot there looks like
15928s potentially lost Mitch for a little bit
15930s he must be having the same thing that
15932s so's G going on oh you're back I am back
15935s yeah bring you back I mean I would have
15938s been happy for you I was I was having
15941s fun all alone and then they took all the
15942s fun away come on man come on bro I need
15945s this man come on bro please it's my
15947s Master's promo game just one
15949s more all right team from China here they
15952s put shy on soj that's going to light my
15954s eyes up and leave on the Genji oh my
15956s goodness here's the cage and I don't
15958s just mean the ax wi Goose W pushing up
15960s towards our 3K who's able to get a
15961s little bit of durability off of that
15963s kinetic grasp but the pressure is
15965s immense the team from China making great
15967s strides with this Rush yeah they want to
15970s play aggressive they want to play Fast
15971s right having Theo in the mix with a
15973s Lucio as well as uh the junker Queen if
15976s you can get past that Sigma Shield right
15978s start uh you know hit hitting those big
15980s ax Swings with the Carnage really start
15982s to just ramp up those heels as I know
15984s legs are doing a nice job there getting
15986s the payload moving yeah this is a real
15988s winds moment here for L riding it
15992s straight on in and it's going to be very
15994s very hard for Hong Kong to unse this
15995s position for gu you're kidding me the
15998s kunai across the map Jalan out and
16000s injured by Theo and that immortality
16003s field yeah might prolong things for
16005s r3k but he can't really afford to back
16007s out of it so he's stuck playing further
16009s forward than the rest of his team gu
16012s shows mang what a real knife is and
16014s karumi can't do much from here monk
16017s playing Super aggressive definitely
16018s briming with confidence yeah and once
16021s you get this Kitsune Rush right know
16023s kitsun Rush plus a lot of the other
16025s Heroes that they have uh just in the
16027s lineup right like the queen where you
16029s start to get a lot of those axes and
16031s whatnot everything just becomes even
16034s stronger just Amplified as r3k now will
16037s go over and play a queen of their own
16040s and try and match
16042s here okay the issue is with the switches
16044s though Mitch is that you've already
16046s given you know the team from China a
16048s huge lead in terms of like ultimate
16049s economy right so like you may now have a
16051s good comp to kind of match them it's
16053s just you're so far
16054s behind wants to push them ahead here
16057s with that ksun rushing oh my goodness is
16060s the Rampage three players hit with that
16062s one no way of keeping R3 K alive
16064s apparently the suzu just not an option
16066s here and Hong Kong here again crumble
16069s under this immense pressure and remember
16072s the team from China just really have to
16074s get to the end of this phase of the map
16075s that means Hong Kong have one more
16078s fight yes it's going to be an overclock
16081s here from Shai as they push up they
16083s don't even want to let them get out and
16084s try and contest the C here
16087s oh karumi tries to make it out with a
16089s nice Dash as ki's had a a pretty good
16092s map just coming on in but still I mean
16094s the the amount of pressure right the the
16096s aggression that the team from China
16098s plays with with this dive comp gets
16099s right in your face gets really
16101s aggressive a rush style of play and they
16103s all end up taking the series yeah we
16106s said we hadn't yet seen what the team
16108s from China have been working on coming
16110s into this this World Cup match but we
16112s knew they'd be confident we knew the
16114s rest of the group would have a reason to
16116s to fear them and just again the
16119s explosiveness that we saw the team from
16120s chy to come out with there on that
16122s attacking side playing the junker Quin
16124s comp but also what they're able to get
16125s done with the double hit scan in that
16127s Sigma mirror you've got a handed to Hong
16129s Kong uh really tough battle from the
16132s outset karumi got to show off some
16133s incredible individual moments there
16135s that's definitely something they can
16136s take away from this game yeah and it was
16138s great to see mango com in there for that
16141s second map play some zenyata play some
16143s of the flex reports so uh really uh know
16147s interesting stuff on both sides but man
16149s the team from China just looked really
16151s good in terms of like their coordination
16153s the dive like how fast they play they're
16156s going to be difficult for just about any
16157s team I mean let's think about it moving
16159s forward right Spain and Thailand both
16161s stand in the way of the team from China
16164s it's very hard for me to see the game's
16166s going any differently than what we just
16168s saw this is a team that's achieved
16170s Second Place Silver medal finishes in
16172s 2018 and 2019 respectively and this year
16175s they gone for gold
16177s yeah I mean uh look that they they have
16179s the roster to do it they have the roster
16180s to go all the way uh in a few more
16183s performances like that they very do it
16186s all right much to talk about after that
16188s game even though it was quite short a
16189s lot of individuals putting themselves
16190s either back on the map or putting on
16192s there for the first time it's head to
16193s our desk to break down the action
16195s between Hong Kong and the team from
16198s China thank you Mitch and Matt yeah this
16201s is exactly the kind of convincing
16203s performance that we expected to see from
16206s the team from China so let's break it
16208s down what are your main thoughts after
16210s this match concluded um for me I think
16213s this was a great showing from Team from
16215s China they are definitely one of the
16216s favorites to win it all in the OverWatch
16218s World Cup 2023 along with what South
16220s Korea and USA and this was sort of a
16223s proof for them right I mean it was not
16225s only the coordination but every single
16228s player on the on team from China team
16230s you know they really showed an
16232s outstanding performance I I quickly want
16234s to shout out monk as well this support
16236s player he had a fantastic performance uh
16239s today so I think you know I think I'm
16241s more now I'm even more excited to see
16243s more from uh Team from China yeah I
16246s agree with that I mean they remain one
16248s of the favorites to win the entire
16249s tournament right and they look really
16251s strong uh in this game as we watch it
16254s right here and they did lose that first
16256s point here on circuit Royale but I think
16258s that was more of a mistake of stepping
16260s off the objective right more so than um
16263s you know misplaying by the means so I
16265s wouldn't be too worried about that uh
16267s the team from China is still one of the
16269s favorites in this entire tournament when
16271s it comes to Hong Kong for the remainder
16272s of the tournament uh they they are
16274s playing Spain in our fourth uh day here
16278s in the group stages so if you can
16281s potentially win that match in a two-o
16284s fashion maybe you can hope for some kind
16286s of three-way tie to make it out of
16288s groups obviously they haven't really
16290s been that strong uh so far in this group
16292s stage but I don't necessarily want to
16295s count them out because it's been two
16296s pretty tough matches for them so far
16298s against both the team from China that of
16301s course have a lot of synergy and time
16302s playing with each other and that goes
16304s for the same from uh Thailand right who
16306s also have a lot of experience playing
16308s with each other in in Asia Pacific
16309s region right so Hong Kong one more
16311s opportunity here against Spain uh in day
16313s four that's going to be
16315s Wednesday yeah and we're looking forward
16317s to that very much so let's once more
16320s take a look at our updated group
16322s standings oh actually we just did that
16324s never mind I just can't get enough
16326s groups we love love groups I love I love
16330s Graphics I love stampings I love promos
16333s and you know what that's how we get them
16335s again here they are so with this ma uh
16339s match concluded that means there's only
16342s one single team that we have not seen
16344s thus far and that is Team USA and this
16348s will come up right after this break so
16350s don't go
16354s anywhere
16360s [Music]
16371s [Music]
16384s n
16389s [Applause]
16396s let's
16402s [Music]
16411s [Music]
16414s go
16444s you
16459s 3 2 1 let's
16466s [Music]
16474s go
16493s [Music]
16504s he
16507s [Music]
16534s me
16537s [Music]
16555s our next match is going to feature Team
16557s USA and Team France this is going to be
16560s our first look at Team USA and this is
16562s an opportunity for Team France to redeem
16564s themselves it was a surprise Rising loss
16566s I think most people expected France to
16567s come out on top in their matchup against
16570s team Japan which looked so very crisp
16573s and clean so France back to the drawing
16575s board trying to figure out how they can
16577s take down uh the rest of their groove
16581s this is their chance but they are going
16583s up against one of the favorites to win
16584s it all but let's chat about this very
16587s lineup guys what did we learn from their
16589s match yesterday where do we see room for
16592s improvement I mean they are I think
16594s making some adjustments we had we were
16595s seeing Ben best uh coming into the
16597s lineup uh yesterday we saw po play uh
16600s get more Play Time against Japan so you
16602s know like like you said I think they
16604s went to the drawing board uh see what
16606s they needed to fix and I think one of
16607s the things was putting trying them best
16609s right as as a main tank I think you know
16612s I think all of us were surprised when
16613s they lost to Japan but I mean the talent
16616s is there right guys France has a lot of
16619s great players so I think you know I for
16622s right now France you know they just have
16624s to not think about their lost yesterday
16626s focus on this match because this is a
16628s big one if they lose this they're going
16629s to be 02 and things are going to look a
16632s lot more difficult for team friends yeah
16634s maybe they maybe they overdid it maybe
16636s they overcooked you know with the 11
16638s people on there coming you have six
16640s assistant coaches one head coach that's
16641s a lot of voices to be heard they going
16644s they need a little bit more exactly or
16646s maybe they need more who knows uh either
16648s way they need a lot of things to go up
16650s against this USA roster a mixture of old
16654s and new a lot of star power in this very
16656s lineup yeah I think some people were
16659s expecting super to come out as a tank
16661s player for this team but if we're being
16662s realistic I mean kou he has played at
16666s the highest level OverWatch like
16667s recently right and um his Sigma has been
16669s phenomenal so if we're truly in a sigma
16671s meta then kouo is going to be the than
16673s player you're going to see for most of
16674s this tournament so they had did a little
16676s bit of trolling as we'll see throughout
16678s these highlights you know ultra violet
16679s playing ratra for example K Moira uh
16682s this was how Team USA Advanced through
16684s the qualif
16686s uh this one they're actually playing
16687s seriously on this one this is what we
16688s want to see more about right um maybe
16691s not more coing here in the back these
16693s highlights are thrilling they really
16694s entertaining but it is going to be
16696s interesting to see what Team USA brings
16698s out here because it has been some months
16699s since the qualification stage so the
16701s meta is obviously shifted um and
16703s obviously we didn't see a ton of matches
16704s when they actually played their real
16706s match up the real players on the
16708s appropriate roles right so this is going
16710s to be the first time we're actually
16711s seeing USA in action here in the group
16713s stage and so I'm curious to see what
16715s will see when it comes to their
16716s compositions and what they have planned
16717s later down the tournament because quite
16719s frankly while we talk about South Korea
16721s the team from China and USA being the
16723s three favorites to win the entire thing
16726s we didn't really get a great look of any
16728s of the teams except for maybe team from
16730s China of course going into the
16731s tournament so this is the first time we
16732s get to really see okay USA can you stack
16735s up against Korea and the team from China
16738s yeah and we're about to find out so
16739s let's take a look at our predictions to
16740s see where we're going with this one I
16743s had to give the dub to team us I I just
16746s I'm just very excited for this lineup uh
16748s they're not just the reigning champion
16750s and of course a lot of those players
16752s this is their first o World Cup showing
16754s right so it's not the same Ro that we've
16756s saw winning it all in 2019 but there's
16759s so much talent there's so much talent
16762s each of those players has shown us so
16764s much great stuff in the OverWatch um
16766s League this very uh past season or this
16769s year rather so I have a lot of faith in
16771s that roster what about you Danny same
16773s and with USA uh I mean Team France does
16775s have the talent but I mean USA I think
16778s has more Talent simple as that I think
16780s I'm going I'm going with a USA 20 yeah I
16784s went with the us as well uh I mean
16786s France didn't have the best showing
16788s yesterday against Japan so that's
16790s already something that doesn't make me
16792s super confident in the game play going
16793s into this one but given that they
16795s changed two players in their starting
16797s lineup you know could be map dependent
16799s or it could be France saying hey we're
16801s doing some last minute changes we're
16802s we're just going to throw stuff at the
16804s wall and see what sticks uh this could
16806s be a different French team we're saying
16808s I mean all those players in team friends
16811s they know what's up you know like they
16812s they know how to recover from a loss
16814s like that so exactly they're
16816s professionals they've been around the
16817s block so they got lot of coaches no they
16820s do have a lot of coaches no reason to
16822s despair just yet but it is going to be
16824s an uphill battle going up against the
16827s team from the USA however we got some
16830s inside scoop so maybe we're going to
16832s regret our predictions here Emily you
16834s talked to both of those teams what you
16835s got for us yeah I mean speaking of
16838s coaches I was able to talk to both the
16840s coaches from Team France and Team USA
16843s and uh F from Team France said we need
16847s to go back to fundamentals and focus on
16849s our own game in order to take on Team
16851s USA and I asked well your opponent is
16854s full of high-profile players so is there
16857s anyone from the other team that you're
16859s especially concerned about and F said we
16862s don't focus on one player especially and
16866s it is indeed an a Very high-profile team
16869s but um we just need to play our aame
16872s today and uh super Genji is pretty scary
16877s though as for Team USA Coach Gator said
16881s you know the first impressions that he
16883s had from day one of OverWatch World Cup
16885s was very surprising he expected stronger
16888s performances from the European teams and
16891s then I asked well was there a dark horse
16893s team um either from from your group or
16895s other groups and he said a dark horse
16899s team for me would be Japan from
16901s yesterday's
16902s performance um I think our toughest
16905s opponent would be team Saudi
16907s Arabia but our team has spent a lot of
16910s time together out of the game as well as
16911s being friends for many years and we have
16913s a very open communication and comfort
16916s level that few teams can ever achieve so
16919s yeah there's some great players but uh
16921s our toughest opponents in our group is
16924s ourselves
16927s that's right thank you so much Emily
16930s there you have it back to the drawing
16932s board for France and general Impressions
16935s there from Team USA I think we're very
16937s much aligned with their Impressions uh
16939s there were some surprises day won but
16941s you know that was just one day we have a
16943s lot more games to play so any of these
16945s teams can come out and redeem themselves
16948s with some standout performances in their
16950s upcoming matches I am super excited for
16952s this one let's see uh let's get a second
16955s look at Team France and a first look at
16957s Team USA But first we're going to head
16959s into a quick break and after that we're
16960s back with all the
16977s [Music]
16983s action
17002s let
17013s go
17017s [Music]
17043s go
17058s [Music]
17073s welcome back everyone to the OverWatch
17076s World Cup we hop over to Group D to get
17078s our first look at USA and we get to see
17080s also if France have a comeback in them
17082s after yesterday yeah obviously taking
17085s that initial loss to Japan was not how
17087s they wanted this group stage to start it
17089s was a very close game back and forth
17093s Japan threw this very strange strategy
17095s of playing a lot of doomfist and I think
17096s it caught you know Team France off guard
17099s so I'm curious to see going up against
17100s USA especially with collusion the lineup
17102s we might see more of a sigma Sigma
17105s mirror that Team France might feel a
17107s little bit more comfortable with yeah
17109s it's interesting that France maybe
17111s feeling like they have to change their
17112s composition up and at least their
17113s players around Nico won't be starting it
17116s it's pack who very very new player to
17119s the scene has experienced in contenders
17121s Europe uh wondering what her his hero
17123s pool is going to be I was very much
17125s expecting Nico today but a lot of World
17127s Cup experience across the board besides
17130s you know a few new players like AO and
17132s pack and Nat loocks and then they're
17134s going to need as much experience as they
17136s can get because they're going up against
17138s Team USA which has a very experienced
17141s roster as much as in 2019 it was a
17144s completely different set of players
17146s other than super who came out of
17147s retirement for this one everyone in the
17149s lineup that you see right here is a
17151s first time in the OverWatch World Cup
17154s but they are no slashers they are great
17155s players within the OverWatch league and
17157s that's why everyone is saying Team
17159s France they have their work cut out for
17161s them against this squad because USA they
17163s have a lot of depth and they have a lot
17164s of skill
17165s now USA are one of the big favorites
17168s along with South Korea but USA just that
17170s they had public trouts which were so
17173s incredibly competitive like they have
17175s what three three tank players quote
17177s unquote if you count that Dante could
17179s come in as doomfist maybe but we start
17181s on bu on downtown with some junker Queen
17185s out of benb best we don't get to see
17186s that too often usually back on is what
17188s Washington Justice days it was a lot of
17189s Reinhardt yeah so Benz is in that lineup
17192s I must have missed that one so that
17193s means they're playing completely
17195s differently to what we saw from them
17196s yesterday they're going to want to play
17198s fast with this Jun of Queen speed boost
17199s in with the sh there they go there they
17202s go but AO probably why you sub him in
17205s that hit scan although maybe he wasn't
17207s in the OverWatch league is such an
17209s important hero to play on downtown if
17211s you can dominate the top of that
17212s building you got Sidelines on around the
17214s map it's difficult to maneuver seems
17217s like USA haven't been affected too much
17218s the first cap goes to France and using
17220s that speed they Dash on right to hydron
17223s forcing out his jump us they don't have
17225s a lot of well space until Kia decides to
17228s go to the point by himself now has
17230s reinforcements but is below 50% Health
17233s doesn't have a lot of armor but with
17235s that immortality Rupal wasn't sure how
17237s kou was going to do either and France
17239s now rotating behind and they're Jing for
17241s a position both teams neither wanting to
17243s make a move but pack once again with a
17245s first pick on the ruple that's a lot of
17246s healing out for
17247s USA yeah France oh they just collapsed
17251s after that initial take us say I mean
17255s they just kind of played this CAD Mouse
17256s running around the staircase and I don't
17259s think pack is going to get out but good
17261s retake by USA yeah they didn't have the
17263s healing but they didn't need it they got
17265s the picks they had the positioning in
17266s that moment and you're going to see a
17268s switch out from benb best as well
17269s doesn't want to play the junker Queen
17271s into the Arisa it's a unfavorable match
17273s up so they go back to their Sigma style
17275s that they were known for you know just
17277s recently yesterday and then AO also over
17279s to the
17280s Ser USA now have the ant Matrix so
17284s France kind of hope that they can cross
17285s quickly to that mega pack side and a
17287s half of them managed to do so but France
17289s are all split up and USA Converge on the
17292s ones that made it through now the sound
17293s bear from FD God does rally the troops
17295s in France Hing to maybe use this Dragon
17298s Blade but pack is hesitating and France
17300s are losing bodies USA haven't really had
17302s to use their DPS ultimates but let see
17305s what poou can do good Terror surge
17307s really splits up France even more
17309s fantastic spear in USA haven't lost
17312s anyone at this point they'll take the
17313s lead and USA just used all of their
17316s ultimates slower the sound barrier went
17318s out from FD God ultraviolet not known
17320s for his Lucio uses that bit a little bit
17322s later and that gives USA the advantage
17324s they have control of the room there's
17326s nothing France can really do but now
17328s there's a window here for Team France
17329s packed he has that Genji Blade no sound
17332s barriers on either side but sugarfree
17334s can match with his blade of his own and
17336s we know how good sugarfree is on the
17339s Genji Grant unsure if they wanted to
17341s take that Coast side but decided to
17343s speed on through attack with the Dragon
17345s Blade dashes in didn't get the reset
17347s maybe worried about hydron who has got
17349s the overclock plenty of space to work
17351s with even has a speed of ultraviolet
17353s jumps back on top tries to dodge the
17355s accretion up the sigma here's sugarfree
17357s shining bright and that's more than
17359s enough work for USA now within one fight
17362s territory of winning the first round
17364s yeah and at 85% in County USA they're
17366s going to try and punish benb best
17368s they're trying to get him early if they
17369s can get this pick Team France might even
17371s get another opportunity oh no how are
17373s they going to get to the point now AO
17375s switches over to the Tracer to touch but
17377s it's going to be a difficult route to
17378s get you God
17380s is Not uh thinking about touching at
17383s least okay last minute there from FD
17386s God next pack on top and France behind
17389s after what you thought was an early good
17392s take and they had the rotations they had
17394s USA fleeing the fight at all times but
17397s as soon as USA retook it was just a wall
17401s that France couldn't break through yeah
17403s and USA just using their ultimates
17405s better and better and better than Team
17406s France it just feel like they had a
17408s little bit more Synergy and coordination
17410s and you know we just heard from Emily
17412s talking about Team USA they have a lot
17415s of experience playing together a lot of
17417s them are friends so there is that
17419s Synergy that they have from just playing
17421s the OverWatch league but also just
17423s understanding and being able to be
17424s honest with each other to be able to
17425s play as a whole unit now we're going to
17427s see switches coming out from France and
17429s we're going to see Benz go over to what
17431s I would consider his signature hero over
17433s to the Reinhardt
17435s yeah that's what I remember him being
17437s subbed in for but there's so many good
17439s options I mean orisa I think is more
17441s flexible when you can have the range
17442s damage more sustain yeah if that's what
17445s kou has been known to play too it's a
17447s good matchup but with the may I wonder
17449s how well this can enable Ben Bast and
17452s pack on the May should give France an
17454s advantage cuz Genji is nowhere near as
17455s good yes you can play to a high level if
17457s you can get those Dash resets but may
17459s with the wo you can isolate your players
17461s just like kou here oh hydron letting
17464s loose immortality is keeping France up
17466s and hydron will not be stopped and not a
17468s lot of attention is being given over to
17470s him really just France is overwhelmed by
17473s Team USA and with Mecha base being such
17476s a defendable map um or I should say
17479s round this is going to be Troublesome
17481s for France to attack it again yeah
17483s because it gets difficult here for the
17485s team trying to reclaim the point because
17487s there's two very small chokes that
17488s you're coming out of and they can see
17490s you coming you can see USA waiting at
17492s the top of the stairs waiting for Team
17493s France they're going to have to use so
17494s many resources just get out the door
17496s they use the wall to cut off the
17497s sidelines that's a great play from
17498s France an Matrix I wonder how much space
17501s is going to be created but this neutral
17502s fight is also decided by the bastions
17505s you can punish these rotations as
17507s someone out in the open it was sugar
17509s free FD got able to chase it down and
17511s Matrix here from The High Ground of
17513s France spraying and praying as USA
17515s caught in the open here hoping to keep
17517s defend keep defending this point but
17520s they decide to retreat in France cap
17522s again that's a great play Drops Out wall
17524s that just sort of scatters USA coll went
17526s forward but the rest of the team wasn't
17528s there from from there France just
17530s finding their advantages find the
17531s initial pick get sugarfree down but now
17533s ultimates are starting to come online
17534s rupo has the amplification Matrix USA
17537s are going to rotate to the right side
17538s drop that one early to give them some
17540s space hey at Matrix this scares the heck
17543s out of France go back to The High Ground
17545s in USA chasing them down and Hydra maybe
17548s even getting them low here with the
17549s artillery strike and so L and he popped
17552s up to USA taking fight after fight and
17555s committing more SS here's the Dragon
17557s Blade but the terror surge not ideal but
17559s benb at least wanted to go for the trade
17561s but didn't Channel it long enough to get
17563s sugar
17564s free will be USA capping the point again
17567s and taking the lead just perfect
17569s position of the artillery strike by
17571s hydron FD God does pop the sound barrier
17573s but it's just a second too late then
17575s benos Ben best sorry also using the
17578s terror surge incredibly late so now they
17580s don't have big ultimates to get back
17582s into this fight it's going to have to be
17583s unpack with this blizard to try and
17585s isolate some of the players from Team
17586s USA yeah USA came in with a plan at
17589s Matrix artillery and France what do they
17592s have cooked up at least getting out of
17593s the doors is good but the C surge has
17595s everyone low France still live and they
17598s place the Blizzard at their feet this
17600s does solidify USA a little bit but with
17602s the sound bear of ultraviolet USA march
17605s on here's the artillery strike from
17606s France maybe finish off some of those
17608s targets USA are down by two and France
17610s with the five versus three just have to
17612s finish off what they started and Ben
17614s best gets to just Gallop towards USA to
17616s look for those staggers to buy time that
17619s they desperately need just a great Play
17622s Once Again by France you can see they
17624s understand how they want to get into
17625s these retakes and USA because they
17627s aren't running the May of their own they
17629s don't have ways to limit France's
17630s ability to step into them so once again
17632s USA they're actually going to fake it to
17634s the right they've actually caught France
17635s France give them the opening they jump
17636s through with the amplification Matrix
17638s again yeah you also got to keep
17640s sugarfree in check he's looking for
17641s flanks here's the artillery strike from
17644s drawn there a lot of Targets in these
17646s Close Quarters and at least they're
17647s making them dance around maybe expose
17649s themselves out in the open USA have them
17652s trapped in this small room and USA are
17655s also trying to flip the point but
17657s somehow as kou was doing that he's
17659s removed and France don't have a tank
17661s standing in their way so they'll use the
17663s speed of FD God to at least leave the
17665s room see if they can match USA on The
17666s High Ground and France have all the
17668s advantages right now they have three
17670s ultimates on line pack coming up to the
17671s Blizzard they should be able to deal
17673s with the sugar free blade and take this
17674s round and Matrix ready see Nat loocks
17677s placing it down USA want to break
17679s through with the Dragon Blade to scare
17681s them away from but the sound bear is
17683s used and the terror surge that is a lot
17685s invested there by France but only a few
17687s more seconds left for them to defend and
17689s USA race the touch it's up to kou but
17692s he's only one man and France seconds
17695s away from taking round two and forcing
17698s the decider and you can see France
17700s feeling a lot more comfortable on this
17702s composition they understand to play
17704s around each other bu it down late they
17706s need to keep Ben best alive because
17707s spawners are going to come in from Team
17709s USA sugarfree Falls Ben best does but
17711s they do get hydron and close out the
17713s second round and we have a match going
17715s on right now lemon yeah I was wondering
17718s how France we just going to get through
17720s these chokes using speed I think the
17723s blizzard was something they were able to
17725s defend themselves well with it was good
17727s coordination and also just the bastions
17729s being able to kick off these fights it
17731s was I would honestly say that was a
17732s close round between the the two yeah and
17736s now we're going to see potentially Team
17737s USA switching over they are playing
17740s double Flex supports with ultra violot
17742s and ruple in this lineup very mechanical
17745s players and if they go over to the sigma
17747s with the high damage output of the
17748s supports they're going to try and spread
17750s themselves out and make it impossible
17752s for France to move around the map seems
17754s like France have a very similar idea of
17756s how they want to play this round as well
17758s this time though FD got on the Anna and
17760s a on the soldier of all picks as well
17762s hydron actually mirroring
17765s it's important how those first picks go
17767s for pack a lot of pressure on this new
17769s player shoulders up against hydron
17772s already on the pack side taking initial
17774s damage may give up this position now the
17776s sigas will have to duel for this drum
17779s position for the point where he can
17781s defend this for a long time pack gets
17782s that head shot that we were talking
17784s about against hydron on that left side
17785s that was an important duel this a power
17787s position that looks over the point USA
17790s can also counter rotate to the opposite
17791s side where the mega pack is but they
17793s seem to still want to push pack away
17795s who's now got his Flex supports by his
17798s side and the shield of Ben best and USA
17800s want to get around them and first flip
17803s over to Team France and now because they
17805s have the numbers Advantage they're
17806s trying to push away Team USA but ao's
17808s the one who gets punished then best
17810s rocked but back on his feet but very low
17814s FD got to is wanting to stay involved
17816s but he was 1 HP and Hy drawn takes him
17819s down USA just held this position they
17822s were stubborn and it paid off even
17823s despite losing hydron early you only
17825s give up 22% that's that's winnable for
17828s USA absolutely hydron comes back on the
17831s off angle just able to pick at Team
17833s France and they just couldn't hold up to
17835s the amount of damage that was coming
17836s through it's a very greedy pick of the
17839s Hanzo from pack here because hanzo's
17841s inconsistent damage and you're really
17843s live and die by the value you get from
17845s the Hanzo AR obviously got a very
17847s important opening pick but because of
17849s the Hanzo they also weren't able to
17851s close out the fight against Team USA oh
17853s and that's great from hyr on FD just one
17856s two punch with the left cck and the
17857s rocket and that's that Niche that
17859s Soldier has of how quickly you can
17861s rotate around but that is a thre man
17863s flux Nat loocks down and so is the rest
17865s of France caught off guard by USA taking
17868s these early positions yeah and USA
17871s really starting to get in their groove
17873s now this is where they should feel most
17875s comfortable on these hero cus is are
17877s self-proclaimed best Sigma in the world
17879s we're starting to see glimpses of that
17881s right now on this round look how for
17883s where hydron is and there's not really
17886s not really any punishing that AA will be
17888s on the soldier but you don't want to
17889s chase that down USA especially fdot has
17893s to be careful and Mark these locations
17895s Now France will head to that left side
17897s drum it's a lot more protected better
17900s walls and pack hoping with the deflect
17902s of these arrows maybe he'll get a random
17904s pick but he was lucky before uses the
17906s dragon strike to flush them out here's
17908s the captive Sun from ult TRV violate up
17910s against ha and I think that looks the
17912s immortality is only keeping the up for
17914s so long ultraviolet versus pack U
17917s doesn't care he's going to 1 V2 okay
17920s well he's got some help now from sugar
17921s call one V2 we'll give it to him yeah
17924s we'll give it to him sugar free wasn't
17925s even there but 80% plus this is getting
17928s to last fight territory Ben best going
17929s to do his best with the grab flux but
17932s not putting too much of a dent into USA
17934s and now all of a sudden Ben best is
17936s caught in no man's land doesn't have
17937s anywhere to go does manage to take down
17939s R Paul as well so some big individual
17941s plays coming from Team France are they
17943s to be able to touch has be a heroic play
17946s from AO takes down his counterpart of
17949s hyron and at least scares USA away which
17952s is the presence of the visor now spots
17954s UV on the right this is not even a duel
17956s he's confident in taking especially with
17958s the mechanics that UV has BR still
17961s trying to rotate but USA can contest for
17964s so long sugar free with the over claw
17966s jumps into the heat of the action and
17969s France just can't hold on for much
17971s longer map number one goes sa team
17974s USA it was interesting to see benb best
17976s coming into this lineup considering he
17978s played Sigma on two of the three rounds
17980s that's something that you would imagine
17982s Poco coming in maybe his leadership and
17984s experience as of late that's why they've
17986s decided to go with benb best but Team
17988s USA as much as it was wasn't that close
17991s on the second round you know France
17992s really started to show some Life USA
17994s showing the dominance that they have in
17996s this roster with just so many skilled
17998s players on every single
18000s role it's been cool to see just Ben Bez
18003s versus illusion USA have a lot of
18006s options too if they want to go towards
18007s super maybe on another map you thought
18010s maybe the Reinhardt would work there but
18012s clearly kou has proven to be just that
18014s Flex God when having to be that solo
18016s tank for Toronto defiant back in that
18018s day but here are the highlights of map
18019s number one it went all the way to round
18021s three yeah and it was very close a lot
18024s of people had USA as pretty clear
18026s favorites heading into this one but you
18028s know Team France really showing that
18030s they have what it takes when you have FD
18031s guard on a signature hero like Lucio Ben
18033s best able to play those front line tanks
18035s and then you Nico when they come in to
18038s play the may there's obviously Signs of
18040s Life there in France can feel a strong
18041s team but USA just a little bit too much
18044s and I do I am going to say it I do want
18047s to see super come into the lineup I want
18049s to see the super Reinhardt it almost
18051s needs to be done at some point that's
18054s what France to worry about the super
18055s Genji as Emily said is very scary but
18058s also pack I think was able to hold hold
18060s his own against hydron with the Hanzo
18062s versus Soldier match up that went pretty
18064s back and forth we're waiting for the map
18066s pick by the way from Team France as USA
18070s are on Match Point and I wonder
18072s depending on this pick is NI going to
18075s come back into the lineup are you
18077s confident in the AO pack DPS line
18080s against hydron and
18081s sugarfree we'll see I think France did a
18083s good job at keeping also sugarfree more
18086s in his place when he was on the Genji
18088s flanking yeah exactly right when when
18090s sugarfree wants to play on that off
18092s angles the problem that have if you're
18093s France is that there aren't really any
18095s clear weaknesses of the way USA wants to
18097s play because they have such a deep
18099s roster they can go to the Super geni if
18101s they need to they have Dante waiting in
18103s the wings to play doomfist or Sombra or
18105s any of those Heroes USA really does have
18107s a wealth of opportunities to play
18109s anything at this point yesterday we
18112s actually saw France go over to Circle
18114s Royale I believe it was and it was close
18117s they very almost closed out that map and
18120s they are going to go there again
18122s actually I'm going to uh correct myself
18123s they went to Blizzard blood yesterday
18125s that they were very close so actually
18126s going away from the map that they chose
18128s yesterday maybe thinking they'll have a
18129s better chance on circuit
18131s Royale and I wonder if that means Poco
18133s will come back into the lineup as their
18135s signature Sigma player but we'll find
18137s out what those substitutes will be on
18139s the other side of this
18143s [Music]

18338s chance going on they're on match point
18341s get Team France don't worry if you're a
18343s French fan even if they go 0 and2
18345s there's still a chance to qualify it
18346s just means the journey gets rougher from
18348s here on out there's always a chance and
18351s you can see the handsome man taking his
18353s spot in the middle of the team Poco has
18356s come in to play the sigma on Circle
18358s Royale this is what we expected to see
18360s but that's the only sub we're going to
18362s see coming out from Team France and they
18364s must be confident in taking this Sigma
18366s mirror they're going to take them to
18367s Circuit Royale yeah cuz we only saw Nico
18370s play May and I know that's his best hero
18372s but maybe they feel like they have more
18373s flexibility and would rather take the
18375s risk on pack and AO and yesterday we got
18379s to see AO play a pretty good soldier
18381s pretty good Bastion even today too so I
18383s wonder how pack is going to fit in this
18385s when you have probably going to play two
18387s hit scans here on circuit Royale who's
18388s going to take that Widow was it AO I
18391s believe on downtown either way but going
18393s up against hydron who when I started
18395s casting him in contenders he was the
18398s Widow back in the day I'm pretty sure
18401s hydron has called himself hron multiple
18403s times in postmatch interviews like he
18405s says sometimes he just sort of
18406s transcends himself and just like hits a
18409s different level especially on the
18411s Widowmaker he is a terrifying hit scan
18413s to have to go up against but this is
18415s this is the path that the team France
18417s has chosen so you have to believe that
18419s there is a reason that they have
18420s confidence in themselves but another
18422s thing that France is sort of playing
18424s into is once again te USA playing the
18426s double Flex support they can play the
18428s allari and the Baptist and both players
18430s are very comfortable on those Heroes
18431s ruple was just recently an OverWatch
18434s League champion playing bapti so that's
18436s a difficult thing that you're going to
18437s have to face it's been cool to see Rupal
18440s just grow as a player in terms of
18443s skill-wise and also as his whole career
18445s just so fast like he's blown up along
18448s with ultra via who has been always just
18449s the most respected player like if you've
18451s watched contenders if you support tier
18453s two like ultraviolet has been the goat
18455s for so long then you got you know
18457s sugarfree rookie to the air no big deal
18459s like this roster is so stacked it's
18461s insane France got to hope that they can
18464s put a good dent now they got that leader
18466s of Poco in the lineup we see on this map
18468s Choice how it'll go oh that was a just
18471s shooting into the flock of players
18473s hoping for something doesn't end up find
18474s anything but Pac is actually leaving the
18476s spawn on the symmetra so there seems to
18478s be an idea here of what they're going to
18480s do first of all it's going to allow them
18482s to TP onto this left side and boom there
18485s you go instant value sugarfree down
18487s they're going to try and push to see if
18488s they can find anything else but it
18490s doesn't look so so USA because they're
18493s playing the sojan and the Widow they're
18495s looking for picks they're not looking to
18496s go in they're just looking for the DPS
18498s players to hit shots while France
18500s because they're playing The Bash and the
18501s symmetra they have to go in they have to
18503s utilize their speed their movement to
18505s get on top of Team USA and there they go
18508s it's a little trickier for Sigma to take
18510s the space you constantly have to
18511s readjust that Shield this FR composition
18513s has become a brawl composition with the
18516s Lucio the symmetra that can move them
18517s around that's how they caught USA off
18520s guard knowing that maybe these double
18521s hit scan especially that widow's going
18523s to come out not as mobile as the rest
18525s and that's a free point a cap from
18527s France USA didn't even want to contest
18530s phenomenal game plan from Team France
18531s they obviously came in knew what they
18533s wanted to do and they caught Team USA
18535s off guard I don't even think many shots
18537s have even been taken from Team USA maybe
18539s one of the F fastest first point
18541s captures I've seen on Circ out in a very
18543s long time see how far this momentum can
18546s take them hydron on the flank spots out
18550s the support and maybe even pack and now
18552s he's exposed himself and USA have to
18554s head back hope to defend the end of
18557s point B and not much contest coming out
18560s of kou to maybe stall out maybe around
18562s this corner but they'll be down to this
18564s a matrix from Nat loock he has it early
18566s this is a long Lane that USA have to
18569s hide in they'll take shelter on the left
18571s side but they've lost Violet they'll
18573s respond with their own a matrix here
18575s from RuPaul but that's an easy disengage
18577s from France yeah France are more than
18578s happy to take that they pushed the card
18580s so far on this second Point as well now
18582s they can set themselves up for a
18584s Teleport play with pack on the symmetra
18586s Pack's going to go in alone put some
18588s pressure on the Widowmaker we need to
18590s see some shots get hit from hydron he
18591s hasn't found any purchase so far in this
18593s map there's the graph relux from poo
18597s Poco and USA barely able to contest here
18600s at the end of the day they are having to
18602s to force their way through this Photon
18604s barrier placed there by pack and USA
18607s haven't stood a chance so far haven't
18610s had a stop it's France that have been
18612s controlling this entire game Photon
18615s barrier perfectly placed I said hydr
18617s needs to hit a shot he can't hit a shot
18618s if there's a wall of Shield sitting in
18621s front of his face and right now Team USA
18623s are getting absolutely run over with
18625s just this FAS composition and that's why
18628s you're going to see the switch from
18629s hydron goes over to the Bastion realizes
18632s I can't get anything done with how fast
18633s France is playing on the Widowmaker I
18635s need to match the damage even the random
18638s bashad that sticked here have been just
18640s forcing hydron to be a lot more
18643s careful this is a good swap USA have the
18645s grappl of their own and France are all
18647s grouped up together maybe he could try
18650s and teleport out of USA get too
18653s aggressive the France look at how much
18655s space the USA are giving up they've
18657s given up the first corner and the second
18658s corner now France they're just going to
18660s teleport onto The High Ground all the
18662s grou the uh flare was eaten by Poco so
18665s there's nothing that Ultra is going to
18666s get from that ultimate yeah FR are just
18668s taking all the positions that they want
18669s out the Matrix is pulled and while
18672s they're all grouped up kou slams them
18674s down with the ground flux and finally
18677s USA get their first fight win all map
18680s and like you said they just gave so much
18683s space that it was one fight for point B
18685s one quote well not even a fight for
18687s point a like this is going by very fast
18690s yeah and Team USA they have to use a lot
18692s of ultimates to sort of slow that push
18694s just there as well the flux the
18695s overclock and the Alli ultimate now they
18698s have absolutely nothing only rupo with
18701s this amplification Matrix so France how
18703s are they going to maneuver they've been
18704s so smart with their TP so far they're
18706s going to teleport underneath Team USA
18708s take the positioning and get control of
18709s the cart once again good turret
18711s placement from the symmetra there of
18713s pack in case USA do decide to drop down
18715s now the sound barrier and the artillery
18718s USA getting overwhelmed again now using
18720s the healing of the pylon to hold their
18723s position and use the at Matrix to fire
18726s back it's just chaos and USA just have
18729s better focus fire at the end France were
18732s hiding and maybe weren't able to deliver
18734s as much damage and either way France
18736s will have to reset a much better
18738s response there from Team USA realizing
18740s that France are trying to maneuver
18742s around them so they actually push into
18744s them don't give them the freedom of just
18746s sitting in that room and pack actually
18747s got himself split off next to the stairs
18750s they just couldn't keep him alive so now
18752s all of a sudden the clock starts to
18754s dwindle that's 2 minutes off the clock
18755s but France still has 3 minutes remaining
18757s because of how quick their first two
18759s points were Now France can teleport but
18762s they also have the photon barrier oh and
18764s they just decide to speed right into USA
18766s while hydron is in tank forn Foreman
18769s he's the first to drop he's so immobile
18771s in that state and France knew and they
18773s pounced the 542 USA escaped without
18777s having to lose any more bodies but
18778s France are teleporting into them grab
18780s flux only focusing down kou and he's
18783s just getting pummeled to death but
18785s somehow kou still lives on rupall and
18787s UltraViolet great support and ultra
18790s violet holds on to that window position
18793s and he can free fire on that backline
18795s great disengage out of USA yeah
18798s ultraviolet showing a little bit of a a
18800s flick there onto the aggressive FD God
18802s Lucio and now all of a sudden you're
18804s going to see a switch over Pac goes over
18806s to the Genji poo over to the diva a very
18809s different look it's more of a dive style
18811s now they're going to play as a unit and
18813s try and get on top of Team USA which is
18815s going to be difficult with how much
18816s damage is coming out you see FD God
18818s almost Falls just trying to cross that
18820s distance oh yeah it's a lot of Po coming
18823s out of Team USA and look how forward cou
18825s is playing to stop them all in a corner
18827s that the artillery artillery strike from
18830s hydron H knocked down and the Poke is
18833s just so strong too you can't even
18834s discount what the flex supports of USA
18836s are doing and USA they're just sitting
18838s on this High ground waiting for France
18840s to get in and without the teleport is
18842s how do they close that distance they
18844s need to go together as a unit use the
18846s Genji deflex Poco can sort of mitigate
18848s some of the damage on the diva but right
18851s now it feels like they're just an uphill
18853s battle literally that they're never
18854s going to be able to get close the
18856s distance unless they start getting some
18857s ultimates online at least France were
18859s able to start that snowball which turned
18860s into an avalanche but USA seem
18863s stabilized here is hydron with the at
18865s Matrix plus spraying and praying a
18868s sprance burst into flames and they'll be
18871s back into spawn yet again with only
18874s being able to get one kill or zero in
18877s these fights it's tough for France to
18879s just even scratch the surface of this
18881s defense and USA have cycling their
18883s ultimates very well ultraviolet now has
18886s the allari ultimate so if France group
18887s up all of a sudden they could end up
18889s getting hit by that big AOE damage so
18891s poco's going to need to be focused on
18893s eating that one but even if they get
18895s through that K is coming up to the graic
18897s flux so many threats they have to deal
18898s with for Team France and it's tough to
18901s forward pH right FD got did he just did
18903s he just h no it's so tough to have that
18908s front-facing tank as I said with poco
18910s only having just limited amounts of
18912s Matrix so France are just way more
18914s exposed to damage than they previously
18917s were there that hurts right there for FD
18920s God they needed that extra Health that
18922s over Health Silver Lining they do have
18924s three ultimates on they're going to need
18926s some individual Brilliance from both of
18927s the DPS players pack with the Genji
18930s blade AO with the over over clock they
18932s need to find some
18934s picks all right the last fight for
18936s France after several minutes they're
18937s going to just go on the other side and
18939s force just try to get as much meterage
18941s as possible while Poco takes the
18943s attention and pack pressures them back
18945s USA are on the coast side and France now
18947s have the C contested it's up to pack to
18950s really pull through for France once and
18952s for all and France have so many
18953s ultimates that they can maybe even make
18955s the full push with they have to use two
18958s of their DPS ultimates but they are
18960s getting an advantage NW cannot full here
18962s needs to be very careful takes down hyr
18965s and the carts moving in overtime the
18967s spawns are going to be so long for Team
18968s USA they might close this out for Team
18970s France yeah the Nano and Poco
18973s self-destruct just for that second life
18975s the Nano's given over to pack and with
18976s FD go they hope to close the doors for
18978s the spawn once and for all but USA with
18981s the at Matrix couldn't support cou
18983s through the losos the artillery strike
18985s only weak against France but USA seem to
18988s have enough damage to maybe get a few
18990s kills but only sugarfree is there to
18992s contest a car one last time and Rupa
18994s will be there to assist but with the
18996s sound Barry that FD God was able to
18997s generate at the last second France
18999s should have enough sustain they just
19001s need to focus on these last two members
19003s here of USA and France will be able to
19005s cap but it's taking too long for France
19007s to finish the fight and now USA are
19010s almost back at full force oh the spawn
19012s doors are just too close for Team USA
19014s France can't get the members down the
19016s diva gets ultraviolet maybe they can do
19018s it
19019s still I oh my God that head shot but
19022s France pull through also with the swap
19024s of the Tracer of Alo and Poco that has
19027s been that French anchor that they have
19029s needed they will full cap after several
19032s minutes several attempts just to get
19034s through the initial part of Point C
19036s turned into a great momentum push for
19038s them the most drawn out overtime fight
19041s I've ever seen lots of first Happening
19043s Here on Circle Royale but Team France
19046s just able to Cap all three points and
19049s circle Royale as a whole is a very
19051s difficult map to full cap there's a lot
19053s of issues you can have on the first
19055s second and the third Point as you just
19057s saw from Team France so now Team USA yes
19060s they did manage to get the time bank
19062s down but at the end of the day they have
19064s a Monumental task to get all the way to
19066s the end to even take it into an overtime
19069s it's difficult to cap this map now we
19072s get to talk about that more what was it
19073s only once in OverWatch league history
19076s that we've had like a second round of
19078s attack or sorry a third round of attacks
19080s but um it is difficult to cap this map
19083s just with how that last point is just so
19087s good for the defense and you even saw
19089s the initial part of Point C can be very
19092s defendable too it's how really Team USA
19095s can create the same snowball that France
19097s did but that's still a winnable push for
19100s France absolutely and if you're Team USA
19103s now you have to be thinking what A Team
19105s France going to play the symmetra isn't
19107s going to work anywhere near as well on
19109s defense because it's hard to sort of
19110s push your objective they could could do
19112s it but it would be a lot more difficult
19114s than it was on offense and right now I'm
19116s just going to say it hydron hasn't been
19118s hitting the shots he needs to hit on the
19120s the Widowmaker so do they make a change
19122s of their own and sort of move towards
19124s just playing the more traditional
19125s Bastion and sigma and just playing the
19127s fundamentals better than Team France I
19130s think France had an edge just based on
19132s the surprise Factor right of teleporting
19134s into them you had the immediate Bastion
19136s nade which sticks to you they couldn't
19138s get away USA couldn't get away in time
19140s and then they were able to make that
19142s snowball push where Team USA were maybe
19144s still in a planning phase hesitating the
19145s fact that they didn't contest that point
19147s B Highway at that halfway point to
19149s create more fight opportunities it came
19152s down to just uh France having more
19154s ultimates at point B which created just
19156s this long push with what four minutes
19158s for Point C but once Team USA stabilized
19161s when there was more of a neutral fight
19163s yeah Team USA were the better team
19165s absolutely and I I think you have seen
19168s right spots for both teams so far in
19169s this series I think a lot of people were
19171s worried for Team France after their loss
19173s yesterday against Japan even though it
19175s was a close series people I guess have
19177s high expectations for Team France
19179s because of the history that they've had
19180s in OverWatch but they're taking it to
19183s one of the teams that we consider to be
19184s the favorites right now in the OverWatch
19186s World Cup and Team USA so some bright
19188s spots here for Team France and maybe if
19190s you're a USA fan maybe a little bit of
19193s like ooh this is a little bit closer for
19194s Comfort than I would like it's just cool
19197s that France clearly came in with
19198s different strategies I've seen like some
19200s teams that basically run this same
19201s composition where they don't have time
19203s to scrim or this is what works if it
19205s ain't broke don't fix it France has
19207s shown different signs of creativity even
19209s when the Nico sub didn't work out in the
19212s first match they brought in pack and AO
19214s who this is what World Cup is all about
19217s to feature new players to have that
19218s chance to travel to BlizzCon to face
19221s OverWatch League caliber Talent on the
19224s other side like that is a once in
19225s a-lifetime Opportunity um and well that
19229s opportunity is going to have to wait a
19230s little bit longer we have a technical
19232s pause coming out of one of our players
19233s so we're going to take a break we'll see
19235s you on the other
19242s [Music]
19249s [Music]
19260s side
19265s [Music]
19283s [Music]
19320s a
19325s [Music]
19350s oh
19353s [Music]
19375s oh what is a timer what is a kilometer I
19377s have so many questions nobody
19379s knows uh unbranded search engine is free
19382s but I'm busy casting right now cuz uh
19384s we're going to be getting into game very
19385s soon technical issue is all resolved and
19387s will be France defending up next yeah
19391s and Team USA have their backs against
19393s the wall right now all full capture
19395s three points there from Team France
19397s playing a very smart symmetra style but
19399s now we have to pose the question once
19401s again how do things change now that the
19403s sides are swapped could we see sugarfree
19406s going over to the Genji we've seen
19407s players try to do that uh in the past oh
19410s never mind we are we are unfortunately
19412s paused again so what is a pause there's
19415s a lot of questions being posed right now
19417s well when the game has halted
19420s um well kind of going back to our
19423s previous Point like France I think had a
19425s lot of success because they were able to
19426s surprise USA and have these creative
19429s strategies and we were thinking during
19431s the prank like what could France do on
19433s the defense to surprise USA there's
19435s playing in that corner room we saw uh
19437s well I guess benb best was in playing
19439s Queen now it's Poco which still they
19441s were playing that cor of kind of Speedy
19443s brawl so the Lucio and the sigma could
19445s still be in the cards or they could just
19447s stick to a more traditional defense to
19450s force as many fights as
19452s possible yeah it's it's impossible to
19454s know and honestly one of the things that
19456s I've really like from France they said
19458s it in the interview with Emily saying we
19460s just want to play our style I think
19462s yesterday they kind of got sucked into
19463s everything that team Japan was doing
19465s where they were playing doomfist and
19467s they just didn't look as coordinated in
19469s this match against Team USA they say we
19471s don't don't care what you're going to do
19472s we're going to play our style and make
19473s you play our game and so far it's
19475s working if they can find a way to do
19477s that once again then all of a sudden
19479s Team USA they might not be able to close
19481s out this map I wasn't even sure if
19482s France could close out that last attack
19485s um I don't know if we have I heard that
19487s we had a replay of that it was just all
19489s out chaos oh it looks like our teams are
19491s ready so we don't have to Banter over
19492s the the replay but yeah it didn't even
19495s look like France had enough bodies I
19497s think it was Poco and FD God I think the
19499s ones to hold it all down and you USA had
19501s respawns coming back I I'm surprised
19503s France captain at all kou lived for so
19507s long on that doomfist I thought it was
19509s going to be enough time for the rest of
19510s his team to consolidate but with how
19512s long the overtime spawns are just too
19515s hard for the rest of the players to get
19516s there so great play from France and now
19518s we're actually are going to see it
19519s France rolling out with pack on that
19521s symmetra once again so we actually have
19524s seen some a lot of different strategies
19525s from teams playing uh playing close as
19528s we're actually going to get some replays
19529s of the last attack from Team fr
19531s [Music]
19534s yeah this was when uh is this the oh
19537s right before the FD God Ajax I'm not
19539s sure but you see how Poco is not able to
19540s front face a lot of that damage he
19542s always has to go around look for boobs
19544s and I think kou was able to take a lot
19546s more pressure and I think that's why USA
19548s were able to hold on for that long yeah
19551s an important flux unfortunately for kou
19553s to miss in that moment so now Team USA
19555s they are going to move away from the
19556s snipers like I said they're going over
19558s to hydron on The Bash and sugarfree on
19560s the May this is is a very traditional
19562s way of playing the sigma composition
19564s you're just high damage output you can
19566s wall up behind the opposition opposition
19568s Sigma to cut them off from the rest of
19569s the team and hopefully get the damage to
19571s take someone out but France once again
19573s still playing that symmetra so they have
19574s the advantage of a
19576s teleporter see France or maybe hiding
19579s around this corner to surprise them once
19581s again are they going to want to teleport
19582s on top of this bridge it is a bit of a
19585s scary situation you don't want your
19587s Bastion to be in the middle of five
19589s people but the teleport I think onto
19592s ruple takes him out okay I was like
19594s where did they go they kind of Blended
19595s in with the white stairs there for a
19596s second so France all split up but
19599s managed to remove Rupal as you said and
19602s USA know that they can't take that fight
19604s without that support and that's what
19606s France need to keep doing they they have
19608s the Lucio they have the teleporters they
19609s need to be proactive and teleport onto
19611s the backline of USA find some punishers
19613s so that's a minute off the clock already
19615s for Team USA it's about building up
19617s these ultimates and eventually finding
19618s picks for Team USA so far this match
19621s they haven't been able to do it much
19622s Poco goes through the teleporter uses
19624s the the grass but this time Team USA saw
19627s coming he's got the speed of FD God I
19629s like that FD God's also looming on that
19630s wall to try and boot people out of that
19632s Shield but France of L at first corner
19635s now ready to fire back with the ant
19637s Matrix there from Nat loocks but the
19639s timing was a bit off us would say
19640s weren't even there yeah I think they
19642s were hoping to catch someone who was
19644s wide peing from Team USA but great
19646s discipline from Team USA see it coming
19648s fall back and now that's an ultimate ADV
19650s Koo goes up in the air from the gravitic
19651s flux can they keep him Alive looks like
19653s they can and now it's Team France who
19655s are losing members I think France are
19657s really desperate to confirm the kills
19659s that Poco set up off the flocks and then
19660s the ant me from Rupa was beautifully
19662s placed to defend kou in that moment and
19666s as France got desperate USA took
19668s advantage and that'll be the first cap
19670s which maybe slightly slower than France
19672s but still the card is rolling it didn't
19674s cost them very much that's the important
19676s part all of a sudden they have a
19678s gravitic flux Advantage which is very
19680s valuable especially when you're playing
19681s the Bastion you can combo the gravitic
19683s flux everyone goes up in the air they
19685s have to come back down and the Bastion
19686s can drop the artillery right where
19688s they're trying to land so keep an eye
19689s out for that one right here it's kou up
19691s too did he just whiff that flux is that
19693s another whiff flux coming out of cou I
19695s believe it might have been yeah I didn't
19697s see that hit anyone the artillery strike
19699s from AO right behind USA forces them
19702s into a fight and now the photon beer was
19704s placed France have a lot of protection
19705s including the sound be this is a huge
19707s investment but that was just the counter
19709s the blizzard plus the artill strike from
19712s hydron what a combo from Team USA to
19716s make up for kind of the start of the
19718s fight that didn't work out now the cart
19720s will keep rolling maybe a point B cap in
19722s sight yeah I believe France should get
19725s another opportunity to capture us to
19727s defend this second Point sorry they do
19729s have the amplification Matrix once again
19731s if they use this a little bit better but
19732s rupo will also on the other side have
19735s the ability to match it can be very
19737s difficult to fight back into this if you
19738s are Team France cuz your entire team is
19740s stuck in this choke you're actually
19741s going to see p teleport over to the left
19743s side and USA actually going to concede
19745s the positioning a little bit and just
19747s sort of step back but they're coming
19748s back in with the ant Matrix I like this
19750s ant Matrix from RuPaul you were hoping
19751s to catch for ants Crossing in front of
19753s the car to help Poco out who's kind of
19755s on his own Island there on the left side
19757s Nat loocks placing the ant Matrix to
19759s help France fire back against USA The
19761s Shield still alive and well from kou but
19764s he need to defend sugarfree while he's
19765s in that ice block form he can't
19767s reposition in that moment and USA are
19769s still alive now they've separated France
19772s and Poco away from the rest of his team
19774s that's a May from sugarfree yeah to
19776s block off the healing from that tank and
19779s France will just have to dump bodies to
19781s contest and reset as a team but USA
19784s continue on and you can see why Team USA
19788s they're wanting to play the slower
19789s composition you can see if France aren't
19791s able to get into the fight and sort of
19792s apply pressure with the Lucio and the
19794s symmetra they will lose the long drawn
19796s out fight they don't have as much
19798s healing the Lucio doesn't do anywhere
19799s near as much healing as the
19801s and the symmetra doesn't do any range
19803s damage so it feels like right now France
19805s need to go back to what was working for
19807s them they need to get back to playing
19808s their own game that's why they're trying
19810s to Route Around the left side right here
19812s and USA already have The High Ground
19814s France are on the coast side and that's
19815s not really where they want to be
19817s especially everyone is grouped up and
19819s fluxes are coming online for Poco and
19822s kou just using the fashion the tried
19825s breakr ultraviolet is insane with this
19828s captive Sun Brock son most of sprits and
19831s they just burst USA take the fight they
19834s still 3 minutes and half a point C to
19837s complete they still have one more fight
19840s they need to win France are going to
19841s have the closest spawns they will get
19842s another fight and they have a lot of
19844s ultimates to combo they have the
19845s gravitic flux and the basion artillery
19847s strike once again and you're going to
19848s see Team USA they're trying to play it
19850s Loy play around their own advantages oh
19852s that's a huge flux most of Kia's team is
19855s hit the ice block comes out and the
19858s artillery strike from AO just to send
19860s you stay back a little bit for now USA
19863s just relying on this amp Matrix but
19865s France not inside of that strike from
19869s hyron to maybe force some different
19870s positions out of France now they're on
19872s the left side the blizzard of sugarfree
19874s to try and stop anyone from contesting
19877s from the France side the sound bear from
19879s FD God should be enough sustain to push
19881s back USA in this fight such a small play
19884s from pack realizing that they they need
19886s to touch the point uses the symmetra
19889s teleporter to touch it slow down down
19890s the cart and then teleports out right
19892s before they get frozen so that's just
19894s great heads up play understanding how to
19896s play around the symmetra and deal with
19897s that sugar-free C9 blizzard that we just
19900s saw and now it gets difficult for Team
19902s USA we saw how difficult it was for
19904s France to close out this third Point USA
19906s is going to have the exact same issue
19908s they don't have any ultimates up lemon
19910s either it's only kou with the flux who's
19912s been questionable at best so far with
19914s this
19915s ultimate USA wanted to take positions
19917s around pool side and Poco has spotted it
19919s out France are going to give it up USA
19924s are they going to want to drop the card
19925s they're going to be forced to with this
19926s Photon barrier upack and even with the
19928s teleport I don't even know where that
19930s went but France are on the chase thanks
19932s to this Lucio of God France can force
19934s the fight even if USA aren't ready but
19937s it's currently USA who are up now one
19939s two and three kills as France couldn't
19941s finish off the targets when it felt like
19943s France had USA up against the wall it's
19945s USA that will be capping shortly with
19948s time to spare that's great play from the
19951s USA supports ultraviolent rup somehow
19954s keep kou alive he was getting chased by
19956s the entire team of Team France keep him
19958s alive long enough drops the gravitic
19960s flux and then all of a sudden it was a
19962s trap for Team France it will go into
19964s overtime and France will get another
19966s opportunity to attack because we are on
19968s escort but Team USA they're going to
19970s have a minute and 16sec
19973s advantage that's a difference of what a
19975s fight or two and with how difficult it's
19978s been for both of these teams to get
19979s through points see you're going to need
19981s all the time you can get but with one
19983s minute France I think my expectations is
19986s can you at least get point a with that
19988s one minute yes on their last attack they
19991s made that very Swift but it was off of a
19994s teleporter play that maybe USA weren't
19995s expecting so now that are you going to
19998s want to rinse and repeat that strategy
20000s France are going for yes but how are USA
20002s going to adapt to that yeah the jig is
20004s probably up for Team France I believe
20006s Team USA are going to expect the
20008s symmetra come out they're going to be
20009s more prepared for these teleporters so
20011s their backliners can play a little bit
20013s smarter and we can see trying to sort of
20015s handle this one and this is how they
20016s kept alive look at how far that lamp was
20018s from the supports were nowhere near kou
20020s where they needed to be but then kou
20022s just able to live long enough just able
20024s to stay up with both supports and then
20027s boom CL lives long enough drops the flux
20029s USA close it out that's tough I can't
20032s count the amount of times I've missed
20034s just jumped out of immortality just
20036s there's so many colors so many people in
20037s front of me you don't notice that
20039s barrier but either way France broken out
20043s of their spawn room doors USA keeping
20045s eyes on them to see well I guess there's
20047s not going to be a teleporter playing up
20050s they they want to just play the may I
20052s think realizing that the symmetra is
20053s probably not going to work a second time
20054s around just go to the may give
20056s themselves a little bit more of an
20057s advantage so the only difference right
20059s now is the allari for ultraviolet versus
20061s the Lucio of FD God so how are France
20063s going to use this speed boost from FD
20065s God to give themselves an advantage good
20067s May wall to behind kou would be huge and
20070s that kind of Misses kou manages to
20072s escape in that left fashion show room
20075s France got to hope that they can build
20077s up this ampt Matrix and for Nat locks
20078s it's been significantly quicker than
20080s Rupal and this could be what decides
20082s this last fight yeah this is going to be
20085s a make it or breaker 14 te France sugar
20087s free is getting very close to a blizzard
20088s they need to keep an eye on that one
20090s goes under the C so it's moving oh and
20092s hydron Peaks too much sugar Free's in
20094s trouble as well oh this might be falling
20096s apart for Team USA unless they can
20097s stabilize such a big brain air from that
20100s as you said it's moving so it manages to
20102s get around the corner and sugarfree was
20104s hoping to ice block on the cart to buy
20106s USA some time and France it was all up
20110s to Nat loocks in that amp Matrix to win
20112s them the fight and with that one minute
20114s we were hoping that they got the point a
20115s cap so they did but now how far do you
20117s go from here in overtime and importantly
20120s ruple trying to turn that fight around
20122s used his own amplification Matrix so
20124s they don't have an advantage in that
20126s respects and we're in overtime in
20128s overtimes on escorts if Team USA loses
20131s one fight they'll lose the second point
20132s and they'll likely only get one maybe
20134s two fights on the third point so every
20136s Ultimate matters they need to stop this
20138s push right now otherwise their time
20140s Advantage isn't going to matter well AO
20143s is going to force USA back this
20146s ultimate seems like USA want to be ready
20148s to engage off of this blizzard trigger
20150s free can even go through this right side
20151s if he wants to catch France off guard
20153s but just decides to go through Fran in
20155s front sugar free dies he's not able to
20157s use the blizzard the stound bear from FD
20159s got to is more than enough Su stain
20161s France have to send the house and USA
20164s are around the corner hoping to play as
20166s conservatively as possible so that they
20168s can contest again from the May wall and
20170s theard at the door pack does he win this
20174s fight for France point B it's Captain
20177s USA can't do anything about it that was
20180s so smart from Team PR they realized they
20183s have the player Advantage just drop the
20184s blizzard keep everything moving they're
20186s trying to find another pick can hydron
20188s get out no he falls as well it's getting
20190s from bad to worst just cascading effect
20192s of just finding more and more Advantage
20194s for Team France and USA they don't
20197s really have that many ultimate to handle
20199s this as well they gave up their flux and
20201s they're moving in and they're going to
20202s have to deal with a Poco flux of their
20203s own as long as they can stay on the C
20206s versus this sugar-free blizzard they
20207s should be in a good spot yeah Francis
20209s fight planning has been so good at
20211s removing sugarfree earlier on artillery
20213s strike from hyr right on top of he's
20216s in the immortality field he jumps down
20218s into the Blizzard or at least was going
20219s to be Frozen either way lot of damage
20222s went into USA it's three versus three
20225s and it's up to Poco but with this may
20227s all up in his SP it's so difficult for
20229s France to live on through but still with
20232s the one minute that they had this is a
20234s winable push for France can't be unhappy
20237s with that push that was great play about
20239s halfway through that third point just
20241s there regardless of the two and you know
20244s 2 minutes and a quarter the Team USA
20246s they're going to have to find some
20248s similar type of push where they find
20250s advantages and they're able to snowball
20252s it Circa Royale positioning is king So
20255s if they're able to just continue to hold
20257s that position and find their advantages
20259s they can do the same thing but it is
20261s difficult if France stay composed they
20263s should be able to close out this map and
20265s take us to map
20268s three I like the switch up from France
20270s too the fact that this may worked out
20272s and when it's maybe Nico's gone as a
20275s coach you know it's just okay this is
20277s how you play May and I think just the
20278s fight planning we've highlighted from
20280s France the May wals the wind conditions
20282s realizing what USA have with that
20284s sugar-free blizzard which felt like USA
20286s were hesitating on when to really throw
20289s that blizzard they almost wanted to
20290s react and counter what France were doing
20293s but the initiative from France is what
20295s ended up winning them so many fights so
20297s wish that sugar-free blizzard came out a
20298s bit earlier well I have to give props to
20301s Poco that that accretion rock onto
20304s sugarfree he was trying to drop that
20306s blizzard on the second point and Poco
20307s actually rocks him off the off the side
20310s of the I guess you know uturn and
20313s sugarfree Falls and from there that big
20315s tool that they needed to close out the
20316s fight was no longer there so Poco we
20318s know him for the Poco bombs but we're
20320s getting to see some Poco Sigma right now
20321s making big plays as
20323s well all right just a one minute or so
20326s Advantage from Team USA but here's that
20327s corner play I was talking about with
20329s France with a teleporter so they can
20331s jump to both sides of Team USA USA are
20334s trying to run as much as they can and
20335s pack is generating DPS but so many
20338s targets of USA were low but France could
20340s not coordinate to finish them off it's a
20342s 4K for kou as USA march on I like the
20347s idea there from France they just weren't
20348s able to execute that was a great Rock
20350s from kou instantly hits pack on the way
20352s out of the door but that's what France
20354s wanted they wanted to take an early
20355s fight because they know they can take a
20357s better fight at the back end of this
20358s first point the one thing that they are
20360s going to have to be worried about
20361s because kou got that 4K he's already 60%
20364s to a gravitic flux if he gets that one
20366s way earlier than France expect it could
20368s close up this first point very quickly
20369s and because that fight wasn't extended
20371s the ant Matrix of nlock was a big win
20373s condition for France and they're both
20375s around the same percentage it'll be that
20378s grab flux coming up soon hydron is
20380s getting brought from behind because Pack
20382s teleported France behind USA But USA
20385s decided to just focus on the Frontline
20387s battle and then turned to deal with the
20389s low HP targets behind USA are dealing
20392s with the chaos very very well and with
20395s AO gone France don't have the DPS to
20398s even make this winnable so us say will
20400s be capping a because of that great
20402s sugar-free wall nlock gets picked off
20404s and from there France just don't have
20406s the healing and that should be a first
20407s point capture and if you're Team France
20409s you need to not panic right you have
20411s time you still only need to really win
20413s one fight okay never mind they're going
20415s for the last second contest this is a
20416s dangerous
20418s play he captive Sun but nlock probably
20421s has immortality now that you spot that
20423s out well USA actually winning without
20425s ultimates what a drop France maybe
20427s weren't expecting it France know how to
20430s get out of that situation mainly keeping
20432s pack and Appo safe which are the most
20433s vulnerable members on that team I wonder
20436s almost if team France's idea there is to
20438s rush into Team USA and hope they use a
20440s lot of ultimates because Team France
20442s didn't commit anything to that fight
20443s they just wanted to fight early so we
20445s are going with 10 seconds remaining into
20447s overtime if France wins one more fight
20449s they will win the map and they have a
20450s lot of ultimates but so does Team
20453s USA all right the grab flux from kou FD
20456s God holding onto the sound barrier and
20458s you got nowes by himself using the ant
20460s Matrix maybe ABA wanted a piece of it
20462s repositions the BW still in his face and
20464s France are still getting organized and
20467s this captive sun is just all over AO but
20469s France still did a good dent into USA
20472s it's not over yet it's three versus
20474s three it's up to UV and Poco is the
20477s anchor for France but for no longer as
20480s USA only have a few more members and
20481s point B inside it's overtime too it's do
20484s or die that was absolute chaos and USA
20487s used absolutely everything as well FD go
20490s with the sound barrier pack with the
20491s photon barrier you have to believe that
20493s Team France has a big advantage in this
20495s fight especially because Team USA
20496s players are still trying to reinforce
20498s the point while Team France they're all
20499s together here's the speed teleport fake
20503s from P Photon barrier splits up uh at
20506s least keeping their half of the cart
20508s Team USA can just hold their own as this
20511s will kind of stalemate out the fight FD
20513s got holding onto the sound bear this
20514s will be the sustain that they need and
20517s there is the engage France running after
20519s USA having ultraviolet isolated is huge
20522s too USA cannot continue on the fight
20525s planning just too good out of France as
20528s they will even up the series one to one
20530s team France played very composed they
20532s understood that they didn't need to just
20534s blow the sound barrier and the photon
20536s barrier off the bat they both do the
20538s same thing they keep them up they keep
20539s them sustained drop the wall on the cart
20542s get kou very low because he has to keep
20544s contesting the point and then after kou
20546s gets low engaged with the sound barrier
20548s there's nothing Team USA can do
20550s great team play from Team France taking
20552s it to Team USA an unlikely match up
20554s people didn't have Team France pushing
20557s Team USA this close to the edge huge
20560s change UPS from France going from losing
20562s to to Japan to now taking a map from
20565s everyone regarding Team USA is being one
20567s of the best in all of World Cup so huge
20571s turnarounds from France and we talked
20573s about just good leadership on this team
20575s and I wonder if that's the difference
20576s that Poco makes too yeah Poco he's
20579s always been being a cool K and
20580s Collective player you know all the way
20582s back from his days with the Philadelphia
20583s Fusion he was he was just known to
20585s always be a very I don't want to say
20587s monotone but just a very calm person in
20590s those coms and you can see that coming
20592s through on this team he has a lot of
20593s rookies to play with aop Pac nlock
20595s they're not as experienced players on
20597s the international stage yet they were
20599s able to keep their call against some of
20600s the best players in the
20602s world sometimes it's not as much about
20604s the mechanics but more about your
20606s positions your rotations and good
20608s placements of those cool Downs when to
20610s use the Matrix Nat loocks had a perfect
20612s play to even place it on top of the card
20614s at some moment to win them point a to
20617s poco's grab flux is being followed up
20619s with and FD got always these well time
20621s sound bearers with you know the one ax
20623s is one thing but 90% of the time these
20626s sound beers have made a huge difference
20628s for the sustain of Team France to live
20630s on in these extended fights now we await
20633s the Team USA Choice a map of either
20635s flash point or
20636s push I wonder where that's going to go
20639s where where USA is going to go because
20641s obviously in the head-to-head matchup
20643s where they weren't playing the sigmas
20645s USA looked you know they look like they
20647s have that flexibility to be able to do
20649s it so you could go to flasho it plays
20651s very similarly to control push can
20654s sometimes be I don't want to say a coin
20656s flip but anything can happen you win a
20658s couple of Team fights you snowball
20659s things anything can happen and new Queen
20661s Street is going to be the choice for
20663s Team USA I feel like H with push a lot
20667s of teams like uh to play Lucio and
20670s France already having kind of that Sigma
20672s Lucio brawl May bode well for them too
20675s but USA have been one of the most
20677s confident teams probably in all of World
20678s Cup but especially in their group they
20680s think they're number one and France want
20681s to prove them wrong and we'll see who's
20683s right or wrong after this
20684s [Music]
20698s break
20715s [Music]
20728s oh
20735s [Music]
20788s yeah
20791s [Music]
20809s [Music]
20818s a
20844s [Music]
20848s let's
20852s [Music]
20878s he
20879s another game three today it's a close
20882s battle between France and USA and woo
20885s what a turn around for France first look
20888s at Team USA they they look pretty
20890s beatable yeah they and that's really the
20893s big takeaway that I've had from this
20894s series like we know that Team USA has
20897s strength but the question no not not
20900s just this series in general but is Team
20902s USA going to be able to go the distance
20904s can they repeat what they did in 2019
20906s because they are the reigning Champs we
20908s all saw the picture of super sitting in
20910s the The Throne AKA gaming chair in front
20913s of the trophy and they're trying to
20914s defend their title yet still here super
20917s fans punching air because super is not
20919s coming in for map three on new Queen
20921s Street but there are some subs here for
20922s Team France as Nico comes in to replace
20925s pack which indicates to me lemon that
20927s they're going to be playing more may
20929s less symmetra yeah I think that the
20932s symmetra had some cool ideas to get to
20934s certain positions on the map that are
20936s difficult to rotate to if you're exposed
20937s to a lot of poke and maybe that surprise
20939s factor that France use to win a couple
20941s of fights against us Photon barrier very
20943s very strong but it's a difficult uh
20947s Brawl character to play in the middle of
20949s all that chaos she's very vulnerable so
20951s I like that if you're going to May seems
20953s to be their plan B option and if Nico
20955s that is his bread and butter then you go
20957s with someone who is more confident more
20959s experience because May is very cool down
20961s dependent if you miss that may wal that
20963s is a big win condition that you're
20965s creating right the ice block if you ice
20967s block at the wrong position that could
20969s just kill the fight for you and really
20970s kill your uh kill your may as well so
20974s like to see Nico back in yeah yeah no
20977s absolutely like I think there's so many
20979s intricacies that comes with May and I
20981s think the best maze in the world really
20983s show how it's done and Nico historically
20985s when he played in the OverWatch League
20986s he was known for his his may play he
20989s played on the Paris Eternal he came in
20991s to be sort of that may pinch hitter from
20993s time to time let's see if he can do that
20995s once again here for Team France but on
20997s the other side for Team USA
20999s I think you are starting to see some of
21001s the weaknesses of having the ultraviolet
21003s ruple support setup because they are
21006s trying their best to move away from
21008s playing the Lucio they didn't come with
21009s three supports they decided to not pick
21011s up a primarily Lucio player and at some
21014s points it felt like they weren't able to
21015s keep up with the pace of Team France I
21017s wonder if that will be a common thing as
21020s we go further in the tournament yeah OG
21022s did end up trying out and I thought he
21024s did very well but yeah the lack of Lucio
21027s means the double Flex you thought was
21028s going to be meta with maybe Sigma coming
21030s in and you have a lot of poke and that's
21031s where Rupal and UltraViolet were best at
21034s um but with the speed that FD God brings
21036s and his experience on that character
21038s France can dictate a lot of these fights
21040s and sometimes just overwhelm United
21043s States just in all the chaos that is
21045s being surrounded by a bunch of people so
21048s Poco I think was a really good leader
21050s for France I'm glad that he's staying in
21051s the lineup and he front lines very well
21054s and he made some big plays not only on
21057s this you know diva in this final push to
21059s get you know Team France across the edge
21061s but you know playing the sigma he took
21063s Toe to Toe with Kio who's a great Sigma
21066s player and he hit some important rocks
21068s right that big rock onto sugarfree in
21069s the overtime push and you know kou we
21072s also saw great plays from him on the
21074s sigma but also the doomfist like this
21076s very narrowly was enough to close it out
21078s but he just had nowhere to go from here
21080s goes down to 11
21082s Health yeah that circuit Royale was so
21085s so close and we go to our map decider of
21088s new que treat which is team USA's Choice
21092s with a substitution from France where I
21095s thought pack and AO were doing really
21097s well despite being sort of contenders
21099s level players or at least they don't
21100s they lack that OverWatch League
21101s experience going going up against Hydra
21103s and sugarfree you thought that this was
21105s going to be the hugest DPS Gap but it
21107s was about fight planning when you have a
21109s leader that can calm your new players
21110s down maybe this is your first time at
21112s the World Cup nerves are there and you
21115s just have a stable team it doesn't look
21118s like a mixed uh experienced team on the
21120s France side and that's something that
21122s makes OverWatch World Cup in general
21124s special you have some of the teams of
21127s the best players in the world and some
21128s players that would potentially never get
21130s the opportunity to play against these
21132s guys are able to do it and show what
21134s they have and what they can do right not
21136s a lot of people had sort of slated Team
21138s France to be able to go and step up but
21141s you said it AO and pack have really
21142s stepped up in a big way and taken it to
21144s the likes of players like sugarfree and
21146s hydron like you just said and right now
21148s I I think they either are going even
21150s with him or potentially even getting a
21151s slightly better edge of the stick at
21153s least on circuit Royale because right
21155s now sugarfree and hydron they are this
21156s DPS Duo that's supposed to be a
21158s Powerhouse they haven't shown up that
21160s way so far in this series and if things
21162s don't go well for USA and they drop 0
21165s and one it's just going to make Group D
21167s even crazier like everyone's been saying
21169s Group D is feeling like the group of
21171s death with with KSA Japan who have been
21175s sort of that dark horse that Underdog
21177s that everyone's been talking about out
21178s after how well they performed against
21180s France USA being you know that world
21183s champion to France also having a good
21185s roster like who knows who's going to
21187s come out of group D if USA don't pull
21190s through in game three absolutely I like
21192s I completely agree I would say France is
21195s definitely a stepping stone for Team USA
21197s tomorrow they go up against KSA like you
21199s just said and that's going to be an
21201s interesting match cuz KSA plays a very
21203s different style they more than willing
21205s to go over the Farah but just today we
21207s saw KSA play and they played up against
21209s Japan it was pretty close but KSA
21212s definitely with a dominant performance
21213s and if they can get that you know win
21216s over you know some of these other teams
21218s all of a sudden it starts to be like
21220s well can Team USA match team KSA and
21224s we'll have to see so everything on the
21226s line for Team USA they need to close it
21227s out on their map pick of new Queen
21229s Street well least Team USA don't have to
21231s worry about a random Symetra teleporter
21233s and having to keep your eyes behind you
21234s too because France were good at
21236s teleporting behind USA and creating
21239s these pinch scenarios where that are
21241s often successful for France eventually
21242s USA were able to crack that and hold
21245s their focus a bit better in those
21246s moments but now that Nico is in you're
21248s not going to see the symmetra they cfd
21251s got in the lineup that's been mostly
21252s Lucio that we've seen out of France so
21255s USA as long as they respect that spacing
21257s they know how to disengage which they've
21259s been really good at on circuit Royale I
21260s think USA can handle these fights a lot
21262s better absolutely and the player that I
21265s want to keep my eye on in this map is
21266s hydron so hydron is going to play the
21268s flanking Soldier hyr going to play their
21271s completely own game they're just going
21272s to try and be a constant thorn in the
21274s side of Team France trying to get these
21276s angles put out damage and try and find
21277s picks onto the backline while the rest
21279s of Team USA is just going to try and
21280s hold their ground see hydron to at the
21284s bottom of that tunnel France are a
21286s little bit split up FD God is assisting
21288s Nico to rotate to mainly dual
21291s ultraviolet who's sitting at that top
21292s window so sort of Min fights taking
21295s place at different areas and France can
21297s do that because they're playing a
21299s USA having ultraviolet play at these off
21301s angles with the pylon is a good idea too
21304s Hy Dr with the speed that Soldier
21306s provides as you mentioned can just keep
21308s rotating around USA but look at his aim
21311s she's managing to take down Appo that is
21313s a bulk of Fran's damage gone they have
21315s to rely on Nico Poco is stunned up cuse
21318s is low and this is all about Focus fire
21321s and USA just being better at that and
21325s you can see why Kus is playing the Arisa
21327s collusion sugar live for so long with
21330s the entirety of Team France running them
21331s down and that just gives hydron time to
21334s find those Pi ultraviolet as well to
21336s find those picks also playing in the off
21337s angle with the allari and you can see
21339s these two different strategies they're
21341s going to be going back and forth France
21342s once again need to be the initiators and
21345s USA are they going to be able to hold on
21347s and is hydron going to be able to find
21348s picks like that that tracking was
21350s Flawless from hydron to take downo in
21353s that at the start of that fight Matrix
21355s and Rupal just evaporates immediately
21358s the rest of USA managed to run away but
21360s kou is in no man's land sugarfree should
21363s just try to die on the bot too and at
21365s least get a contest out of it but hydron
21367s wherever he is is getting random picks
21370s he's over on the Statue side and ultrav
21371s Violet's also on that off angle so
21373s despite USA maybe not winning this fight
21375s you slow France down with these picks
21377s and it's not bad for USA and it's so
21380s difficult for Team France to be able to
21381s punish either Ultra VI all hydron they
21383s both have great tools of escaping with
21386s their Heroes so if you try and run them
21388s down they just just going to run away
21389s and then all of a sudden threats come
21390s from all over the place so USA really
21392s putting on a master class of how you
21394s play what has been dubbed shooter comps
21396s where you just sort of spread around and
21397s just shoot the opposition and don't give
21399s them any options to run you down yeah
21401s USA are forcing these isolated duels
21403s where maybe they believe in the more
21404s individual prowess of their players
21407s versus maybe the more team chemistry
21409s that I'm seeing out of France for now
21411s though USA playing around the corner but
21413s hydron he's going unseen he has a
21416s tactical visor but France quite far away
21419s and the gra flx from Poco used to zone
21421s out this Soldier and the captain the
21426s explodes France and USA continue on to
21429s get the forward spawns and that was just
21432s so many ultimates Team USA threw a
21434s France they tried to engage with that
21436s gravitic flux but it just was not enough
21439s to hold up even FD God using the sound
21441s barrier so now Team France they because
21443s they don't have the same symmetra they
21445s can't do the TP plays like we saw them
21447s do on Circle Royale so right now it just
21449s feels like they're being constantly
21451s surrounded and peppered with damage and
21453s so far they're just getting picked
21454s before the fight even
21455s begins pretty forward blizzard to saw at
21458s least get a kill onto Poco but this is a
21461s momentum push for USA to say the least
21464s 75 M and more this is going to be tough
21468s for France to retake of course there's
21469s plenty of time but USA haven't been
21472s stopped yet I'm worried yeah it it's
21474s getting a little worried the only time
21476s things halted for a little bit was when
21477s Nico get that great right click through
21479s the amplification Matrix but other than
21481s that it feels like they've just been
21483s Chasing Ghosts unable to find a single
21485s pick you see fdgard and AO running down
21488s the flank trying to get a pick here onto
21490s I believe that's ultraviolet yeah
21492s ultraviolet and the others but they
21493s weren't even to F anything and Ultra
21495s Violet's the one who gets the pick how
21497s does that happen ultraviolet and hydron
21500s are menaces on this backline France are
21502s trying to do a better job of marking
21504s that because that's how France have been
21506s losing they lost a grab flux just to
21509s scare hydron they didn't even hit him
21511s with it and France are continuing to
21513s struggle by because they're getting
21514s surrounded by USA and they're panicking
21518s ultraviolet has so much confidence right
21520s now you can see playing aggressive not
21522s afraid of anyone from Team France NCO
21524s was still holding on to this blizzard
21526s hasn't found a good opportunity who do
21528s you blizzard on the side of Team USA you
21529s can't just throw it at the backline
21531s doesn't work on on Arisa doesn't work on
21533s a May and FD God's dead before the
21534s fights even begun once again mechanics
21537s on this play by Team USA we had
21539s criticisms about the double Flex support
21542s but they're showing us why it works
21544s ultraviolet is just simply the third DPS
21548s as Team USA looks to full cap at one of
21550s the fastest times I have ever seen Team
21554s USA take the
21556s series some of those concerns that
21559s myself and maybe others were having
21560s about Team USA they seem to get squashed
21562s a little bit as we went onto new Queen
21564s Street that was just great play from
21567s Team USA individual mechanics and
21569s Brilliance being shown right there from
21572s every single player popping off in each
21574s moment in Team France with with them not
21577s playing the symmetra anymore it just
21578s didn't feel like they had an answer and
21580s that's that confidence showing through
21582s from Team USA to have ultraviolet and
21585s hydron constantly on the flank and with
21588s the aim too that hydron had the kind of
21591s low bursts of damage at Soldier you know
21593s why people don't like Soldier as much as
21595s other choices of hit scan hyon proves
21597s that with good enough aim you could
21598s still get picks with it and just be such
21600s a nuisance even with arari from
21603s ultraviolet the 3K captive Sun easily my
21607s MVP of the match has to be UV yeah
21609s absolutely I think there were individual
21611s pop off plays from lot of them but UV
21612s really stepped up when it mattered most
21614s in certain situations especially in that
21616s third map but also we see USA go one
21619s and0 in the group the group of death
21621s Group D but Team France goes 0 and2
21624s they're not completely out but it's
21625s going to be a hard path forward if
21627s they're going to make it to Blue gone
21628s yeah and France's next opponent is going
21631s to be KSA so that is a that's a tough
21634s one all of group all everybody in that
21637s group of Group D is is a team that are
21639s very capable of qualifying can't believe
21642s we had another game three today so
21644s excited to hear what the desk thinks so
21646s over to
21648s soe thank you guys so much yeah what a
21652s game France got all of our hopes up just
21655s to be crushed on that third a convincing
21659s Shing from Team USA let's discuss how
21662s they got it done because uh quite
21665s frankly initially France looked a lot
21668s better I think they they really made the
21670s right changes heading into day number
21672s two uh let's discuss what changes those
21674s were and how Team USA still came out on
21677s top yeah I mean look for France right
21680s swapping over to Poco uh playing in this
21683s matchup uh playing with the sigma it it
21685s is one of the best compositions in the
21687s game currently at the pro level right so
21689s um it did uh unlock things for them
21692s playing this Lucio bati with the Genji
21694s lineup early on upping the pace being
21696s able to play the Lucio on this team um
21697s is obviously something that's going to
21699s help them off the pace against a team
21700s like USA this was a great point that you
21702s know custa made of course as well um and
21705s that I know that Danny wanted to touch
21706s on as well so I'm going to let you do
21707s that um no no go ahead no talk about it
21711s well I thought it was a great Point
21712s raised by custa that there is you know a
21714s double Flex support backline with
21715s ultravalet and repal for USA um and so
21718s that kind of like limits the pace in
21720s which they can play you know you can't
21721s bring out that Lucio as much because
21722s you'd ra probably rather play the double
21724s F support right you ra rather play the
21726s lari with the B for example maybe even
21728s bring out the KIRO right rather than try
21730s to match France when they're when
21732s they're playing the cetra and the luo so
21734s that was you know a big kind of like
21736s scary circuit real if for a Team USA fan
21739s but then when kou swapped over to the to
21742s the orisa and custa uh as he labeled it
21745s the quote unquote shooter comp shooter
21747s comp flank around and shoot and make it
21751s difficult for France to like really
21752s reach someone like you can you can speed
21754s up all you want with your May walls and
21756s your Sigma shield and you know you can
21757s try off the pace but they're just going
21759s to be spread out all around you and
21760s that's what we saw from hydron um in the
21762s OverWatch League um you know games
21764s earlier this year so um there was really
21766s just a compositional difference there on
21768s the very final map but a bit scary still
21770s for USA like I'm not completely sold
21774s after some weaknesses being spotted
21776s there in that matchup so
21778s wo their first match and I'm like
21780s already like whoa USA
21783s like any losses sweating winds here
21785s playing Saudi Arabia this week it felt a
21787s little bit Danny I think you said that
21789s whilst we were watching the match it
21790s felt a little bit uh like like USA needs
21793s to warm up yeah I mean I mean they are
21796s still a a strong team right but and also
21800s they did be friends but judging by what
21802s we saw and also what Johnny and custa
21804s was saying about uh their backline they
21806s have two support players and not having
21808s a main support you know it could maybe
21811s possibly be a problem for them in the
21813s future right and you know so it's sort
21815s of a limitation that they have to work
21817s with so we'll just have to wait and see
21819s I one thing can be said about this group
21821s though I I do think it uh may very well
21824s now be the most stacked group but France
21827s turning it up today and making uh the
21829s changes needed to be more competitive
21832s with Team Japan surprising us all on day
21834s one coming out on top and of course with
21837s theing of Saudi Arabia being exactly
21839s what we thought they would be which is a
21842s cohesive well-oiled machine who is
21845s looking very very dominant in their
21847s match Team USA got their work cut out
21850s for them it's going to be so excited to
21852s see which two teams will advance out of
21854s that group now heading up into a break
21857s and after that we will be talking about
21859s the last match of the day to fill our
21862s daily quota of Commonwealth battle we're
21864s going to have Canada facing off against
21866s Australia all this and more after
21868s [Music]
21874s this I got you I'm here here train TR
21878s push push push nice
21882s holy you baby yeah
21885s baby it's not

22089s we are getting ready for our last match
22091s of day number two in the OverWatch World
22094s Cup 2023 group stages played in a round
22097s Rob and format we've had exciting
22100s explosive matches thus far and I'm sure
22101s this last one will not disappoint as
22104s Australia will face off against Canada
22107s two teams which a lot of people had
22109s highly rated in fact this is one of the
22111s groups where we all felt like it's going
22112s to be very difficult to predict the
22115s outcome so maybe after this match we're
22117s going to find some answers or not we'll
22119s find out very soon as they will be
22121s playing in just a few minutes for now
22123s let's take a look at their rosters
22125s starting with Canada Canada
22127s Unfortunately they are coming off of a
22129s loss from their first match yesterday
22131s Danny yeah I mean they did take the elf
22134s against Great Britain yesterday and
22136s Johnny and I you know got our
22137s predictions wrong but hey I think they
22139s had some signs of life I they it wasn't
22141s all doom and goon for them right because
22143s they had some great players such as
22145s Seeker that we're seeing right now this
22146s guy made a name for name for himself uh
22149s in the Pro scene great uh DPS player he
22153s was pop he was popping off yesterday on
22155s the fashion as we're seeing right now so
22157s players like him you know Canada has a
22159s lot of those so I think that's a
22161s starting point we saw France you know
22163s they take an L yesterday too but they
22165s came back of course they lost again to
22167s USA but they made a lot of improvement
22169s so I'm hoping that Canada sort of did
22172s the same thing you know take the loss
22174s and then make some improvements for
22176s today's match against Australia yeah the
22178s opposing team however is riding the high
22180s of their first Victory against Brazil
22182s what did we learn about team Australia
22184s from their match yesterday Johnny that
22186s they they play the the the the fun
22188s Heroes all right they played around of
22191s solid you know Tracer EO Winston this is
22195s like a solid composition like who
22196s doesn't like watching Trace Reco always
22198s fun Winston solid gameplay you know this
22201s is entertaining work of this want see
22203s but this right here coming out with the
22205s Reinhardt hitting the big shatters speed
22207s boosting with El luo and teleporting
22209s with nand symmet course this is what we
22211s really want to see here in the World Cup
22212s right am I the only one am I the only
22214s one who really wants to see this this is
22215s entertainment to me so Australia they
22218s just came out the gates and they were
22219s like we're not we're not going to play
22221s Sigma you know we're not going to play
22223s orisa like slowing the thing no we're
22224s going to go out with Pace we're going to
22226s push the Tempo and that's what it's all
22228s about okay loving the Reinhard action
22231s coming in from Australia I hope we get
22232s to see more of it today yeah I mean the
22235s made it hard for Brazil really although
22237s there were some moments where Brazil
22238s looked competitive in the end it was
22240s Australia taking it handedly let's see
22242s if they can you know continue their
22244s winning waste or if Canada is going to
22246s redeem themselves in their second match
22247s let's take a look at our predictions I
22249s went with Australia I think they just
22252s they looked spot on yesterday I I don't
22255s think there is much that I felt like was
22258s egregious or anything they needed to
22259s improve they had fun they played with
22261s Tempo it was exciting I want to see more
22264s of that what about you Danny let's go
22266s Australia you guys all know I love a
22268s team that uses Ryan Rush cob I've been
22270s supporting Ryan Rush cobs all throughout
22272s the year and as soon as I saw Australia
22275s playing it I was like all right this is
22276s my team Australia let's go I'm in with
22280s with Australia as well uh 2-1 here of
22283s course I it's really entertaining to
22284s watch them play but I also feel like for
22286s Canada you know Canada was hyped up
22288s going into the World Cup here we know
22289s they have great players on their team
22291s and Canada historically always does
22293s perform pretty well in the World Cup you
22295s know they always feature at blon in
22297s these later stages and try to feel their
22299s best roster I just I'm excited to see
22301s what they can do today I don't think
22303s they're too proud of yesterday's match
22305s up against Great Britain so I want to
22306s see the best foot foot put forth from uh
22309s Canada and just see what we know these
22311s players can do they're a really good
22312s team let's see the best game play uh we
22314s can for them absolutely yeah as you said
22317s historically of course Canada has been
22319s featuring up in the top 2017 they placed
22321s second 2018 they came third 2019 we
22324s don't talk about that one but other than
22327s that a lot on the line for both themes
22329s I'm excited for a good showing uh we of
22331s course always want to know everything
22333s there is to know about the team so we
22334s need to get the inside scoop and once
22336s more detective Emily has been on the
22338s case to find the truth let's hear it
22340s from
22341s her thank you so much Zoe yes prior to
22345s prior to today's match able to catch up
22347s with Coach Danny from Team Canada who is
22350s able to share some insight he said that
22352s every team is beatable given the right
22354s strategy and depending on the map
22356s selection including the top dogs like
22359s Korea and Dean from China everyone has a
22362s chance if you play well personally for
22364s Team Canada it's important for us to
22366s stay relaxed and composed during the
22368s match we wouldn't have made the same
22371s mistakes in scrim but given the pressure
22373s of the match we forgot some basic
22374s reminders and autop piloted which which
22377s cost it Us in the end I also asked well
22380s are there any interesting stories from
22381s your time in Anaheim that you could
22383s share with the fans and he said on the
22385s first day of our arrival in Anaheim we
22387s went out for dinner and Magic mate ball
22391s as you can see from the photo that we're
22393s about to provide was wearing a wolf
22396s shirt it was a full moon and he did a
22398s pose he's really chaning his interner
22400s wol to make him play
22402s well um I yeah incredible photo shoot I
22405s think that's the start of his side
22407s hustle so just seeing all the players
22410s from the other team was fun eating
22412s together at breakfast and um having a
22414s teams in the practice area was also
22416s really fun it's different and much more
22419s personal than just talking online and uh
22423s lastly he wanted to say that magic is
22426s also their secret weapon today versus
22428s Australia now sending it over to your
22431s Canadian and Australian casting Duo
22432s Levan and
22435s custa thanks so much Emily oh yeah we're
22438s here it's lemon kanuck in KAS Australia
22442s here to cast the match of the day
22444s easily you're going down okay this is a
22447s battle for the Commonwealth right here
22449s you know everything's on the line it's
22450s honestly the group for the Commonwealth
22452s because we you know we also have Great
22454s Britain in here as well so everything to
22456s fight for you guys went down 01 Canada
22458s went down 01 yesterday to Great Britain
22460s we're riding on a high 10 up against
22462s Brazil so honestly everything to fight
22464s for for both of these teams yeah well we
22466s got the wolf pack okay whatever that
22468s magic b ball put up on the screen that
22471s was the worst edited photo I've ever
22474s seen they literally put a moon in front
22476s of the palm tree ah it was you know if
22479s if you're going to put that level of
22480s performance into today's match you know
22481s we're not we're not even going to break
22482s a sweat yeah that's cuz all of our
22484s talent isn't OverWatch okay it's yeah
22489s well look at that pose okay he's that's
22492s hard to fo tall at least and he's the
22495s the magic weapon or whatever they said
22498s so hey hey it's going to be hard to take
22500s down an alpha like that but magic mapall
22502s apparently the secret weapon heading
22504s into this series I'm excited to see what
22507s that what that is going to be to show uh
22509s they're going to have a lot to deal with
22510s Team Australia uh I think we saw
22511s yesterday that they're more than happy
22514s to move over to the Reinhardt and play
22516s like a rush composition and just run you
22517s down how are Canada going to be able to
22520s handle and adapt to that oh well Canada
22522s started 0 and one Owen I barely know him
22525s this is how we go one and one magic
22528s mapall if you've been under a rock you
22531s wouldn't know this player but if you've
22532s been watching contenders North America
22534s you know exactly who this player is won
22536s the contender summer series with wisp we
22538s have some of the best North American
22541s talent when it comes to tier 2 on this
22543s roster including Cal who got second in
22546s contenders North America with Team
22548s Timeless I'm really stoked of course we
22550s have OverWatch leag caliber players too
22552s like false from Vancouver Titans and
22554s Seeker from La Valiant so we're no we're
22557s no pushovers yeah but we got a good
22560s bunch of lads that are about to run you
22561s down with Reinhardt you can you can have
22564s all of these you know accolades to your
22566s name we got the power of friendship and
22568s the boys are coming so let's see what
22570s we're going to see looks like Australia
22572s potentially going to start on this
22573s Reinhardt it does work very well against
22575s the symmetra but Canada potentially
22577s seeing this one coming looks like false
22579s is going to roll out on the Arisa as
22580s well but for the most part these teams
22582s are going to run at each other it' be
22584s interesting to see who comes out on top
22586s yeah who's who's going to come out on
22587s top the lads or the buds false versus
22591s Kaa see if Kaa has what it takes on this
22594s Reinhardt false I'm The Unofficial coach
22597s blow up his shield with your left click
22599s Seeker go tankle bir I was at a show
22602s match with you I know you can aim here's
22604s the thing we're just going to yell
22605s coaching advice that's going to be the
22607s entire car so if you if you're expecting
22609s something different you're out of luck
22610s Aki goes down first which is a terrible
22613s start for team Australia gets caught off
22615s by noxious and that's a quick d kill
22617s Team Canada oh noxious he's been so
22620s passionate and vocal on Twitter about
22622s just how excited he is to be playing for
22624s his region he's very well known in the
22626s Collegiate scene playing for top schools
22628s like Harrisburg and St Clair so you
22630s might think look at this roster like oh
22631s not a lot of OverWatch League uh uh
22633s players that have experience in the
22635s OverWatch league but hey we have good
22637s players that's all that matters yeah
22639s OverWatch league is overrated we have no
22640s OverWatch league players either but we
22642s do have lots of contenders players we're
22644s actually going to see cuffer switch over
22646s to the sigma the orisa versus Reinhard
22649s match is very in favor of the orisa but
22651s the sigma favors against the orisa so
22654s we'll hopefully get an advantage from
22655s kaer as we see but now they're going to
22657s want to poke and sort of stay in that
22659s mid-range with the Bastion and the sigma
22660s just poking out damage against Canada
22662s the issue that they have though is that
22664s they don't have the point so all this
22665s time they're losing percentage but false
22667s goes down yeah the bigger issue is the S
22669s Matrix plus aasan but somehow The Kills
22671s are going to Australia they're
22673s teleporting to both sides of Canada and
22675s they don't even know what no should to
22676s look at anymore that'll be Australia
22678s taking back to point clean play I think
22681s B just gets a little aggressive doesn't
22683s isn't able to be healed by crimo on that
22685s Rush we're actually going to see them
22687s sticking with his composition so
22688s Australia Australia sorry taking control
22691s and now ultimates are starting to come
22693s up Nanda has that Photon Barrack gives a
22695s huge advantage and Aki is coming up to
22697s that amplification Matrix and crimo
22699s doesn't have his because he used it in
22700s the Lost
22701s fighton barrier ready to split up this
22704s point do you want to keep your half do
22705s you want to split up the fight into two
22707s halves there's different ways to place
22709s this and Australia trying to defend the
22711s point and KNX just using that ice block
22714s puts him in such a precarious situation
22715s and I don't think Canada can save their
22717s buddy so Australia are going to continue
22719s to try to run them
22721s over confirming these kills quite yet
22724s Australia are are really struggling and
22726s now getting pushed away by the noxious
22729s blizzard will be also Canada during that
22732s yeah moment flipping the point yeah
22734s Australia used all of their ultimate try
22736s and win that one Aki then falls on the
22738s reagg sound barrier out from Magic Maple
22740s to counter the gravitic flux and that
22742s will be Canada winning a pretty decisive
22745s fight I like the idea from Australia to
22748s try and go proactive against the Canada
22749s Squad but it did not execute in the same
22752s way that they planned it out yeah it
22754s took a while to get this done for Canada
22757s but the job is done 70% on a don't sound
22760s so smug I don't I don't want to hear
22762s that from you don't sound so smug 75%
22765s Counting we can make it back we have no
22767s ultimate but we have a dream we'll see
22770s if the dream dies though
22772s Australia good disengage from the
22774s artillery strike against the
22777s passion looking for The teror Surge you
22779s can see he's just waiting for them to
22780s step Up's going to go all the way to the
22783s beach it looks like they know it Canada
22786s hoping to meet them halfway there where
22788s is Australia now teporting on the other
22791s side of the bo even Canada is UN sure
22794s Terror surge at the ready 99% for and
22796s overtime yeah losing crims was huge not
22799s a lot of healing now none at all for
22801s Canada when they felt like they were
22803s going to be taking the initiative in
22805s this fight it's Australia that just out
22807s rotated them yeah you know Australia
22810s we're known for our beaches we
22811s apparently found a teleporter on the on
22813s the outside of this map and made it to
22814s behind Canada FSE was just confused you
22816s could see him setting up to go for the
22818s flank Terror surge but by the time they
22820s found Australia they were already on the
22821s point and crimo had already fallen so
22823s big plays from Team Australia
22824s considering they had no ultimat to go
22826s with and now they're starting to charge
22827s them up as well so Australia potentially
22829s back in the driver seat of this round
22832s yeah Matrix from AI could be starts off
22834s the fight for Australia and Canada
22836s choosing to go down this long Lane could
22837s hurt them in the end but the teleporter
22839s as Nanda tries to meet Australia halfway
22841s with Canada Terror surge though
22843s Australia just walk into pain and Canada
22847s though it's not looking too good they've
22849s only lost one though can they finish off
22851s the remnants of Australia the spear
22853s misses now cuup up is a believer
22856s apparently with the grab flux getting
22858s Seeker low enough but noxious and crimzo
22861s will protect him well now the Blizzard
22862s from noxious is thrown a try and lock
22864s down burlock who just speeds around it
22866s thanks to the sound beer Australia will
22868s sustain through it it is just such a
22871s crazy last fight yeah it's just
22873s desperation mode for Australia everyone
22874s switch we got a Moira we got a tracer
22876s and they are managing to hold on for
22878s just long enough artillery strike coming
22880s out of Seeker is it going to find any
22881s value Nami Falls it's going to be hard
22883s for Australia Australia are only down by
22887s two but the lack of damage hurts a lot
22890s magic M ball two with the sound barrier
22892s we're just going to run down Australia
22895s once and for all in this round one
22897s although Australia have been known to
22898s turn fights before a while going I can't
22902s believe still going burlock gets one but
22904s with Aki falling nami's going to need to
22906s go nuclear to be able to win this gets
22908s the pulse bomb he could turn this whole
22909s thing around with the big p b chasing
22912s down these Speedy Heroes of
22915s Australia finally they're gone and
22917s Canada will take round one 100 to 81 but
22920s that that was that was hard to follow
22923s that was an allout brawl there was no
22925s Rhyme or Reason honestly both teams
22927s doing a great job of entering back into
22930s these fights finding Avenues and both of
22932s the Baptist were struggling to stay
22934s alive they were usually the first ones
22935s going down so now we head over to beach
22937s kuff is going to looks like start on the
22940s sigma I think if you know that the
22942s Canada Canadian team is going to play
22944s the Arisa into you if you try and play
22946s the Reinhardt I think this is the right
22947s decision just put kaffa on the sigma he
22949s was doing work with the sigma they just
22951s weren't able to close out the
22953s round see if he kuffa will still live
22957s with a Bastion of Seeker I played in a
22959s show match with that guy he's pretty
22961s good and now he's pretty good we got the
22963s the stage nerves out of the
22965s way see sea honestly this is unfair
22968s because sea has Advantage because he
22970s played s more earlier in a show match so
22972s feel like that's an unfair advantage
22973s that team Canada has but you know I'll
22975s take it up with the refs
22976s okay crimo died crimo down again wow
22979s that is the best Canadian talent we'll
22982s ever have he better not leave but he's
22985s dead so he he is left for now but he'll
22986s be back'll be back and Australia
22989s utilizing the symmetra very well it
22991s feels like they that's how we keep
22993s finding picks on a crimo Australia
22995s they're teleporting into an off angle or
22997s behind in a crimo and crimzo is just
22999s struggling to deal with it and stay
23000s alive so first capture goes over to
23002s Australia so already in a much better
23004s spot than they were last round
23007s now no one really taking a lot of damage
23008s cuz that fight was so quick you don't
23010s have ant Matrix as that ultimate that
23012s could usually start that second fight
23013s look at this teleporter that goes behind
23015s Canada now they just hope to chase them
23018s down false front lining quite well but
23021s uh slowly running out of juice
23023s immortality has to be brought out by
23024s crimo both team trading blow for blow
23027s Canada are up by one and Seeker has been
23029s let loose and he's hunting down this is
23032s what the wolf pack does the wolf pack
23034s does they hunt they Hound honestly
23037s Australia and great play by Canada they
23039s dropped the amplification Matrix seekers
23041s in the wheels mode just does so much
23042s damage in a short amount of time
23044s Australia just evaporates from the map
23047s so that is going to be a Point Flip
23048s coming back over to Canada but now
23050s Australia they're the ones who have the
23051s amplification Matrix they have to become
23053s the wolf pack Channel your wolf pack
23056s Australia got to get your a ready oh I
23059s have Matrix right there from Australia
23062s catches noxious and the rest off guard
23064s Canada couldn't find shelter in time
23067s before the storm arrived and Australia
23070s we'll keep their lead and we'll get the
23071s point back the bashing grenades through
23074s the amplification Matrix do like
23076s something north of 200 damage you have
23078s to be so careful if you get stuck by it
23080s you're just going to instantly die so
23082s such an important tool and it gets
23083s charged up so quickly so great play by
23085s Australia they have to use the photon
23087s barrier as well to get into it so now
23090s gravic flux basion ultimate coming here
23093s for Australia it's such a good combo
23094s because people can avoid it if they get
23096s picked up in the flux good thing
23098s Australia didn't take that teleporter
23100s what how does AI die to that even with
23104s the immortality and everything great
23105s first pick by Canada sound beers
23107s exchanged Canada in a 54 also a back cap
23110s tube by Canada has Australia's Focus all
23113s over the place as they hope to escape at
23116s least keep shelter inside of this
23117s building very early sound from burlock
23120s trying to keep them in that fight but as
23121s soon as magic b Mo responds with his own
23124s there's nothing you can do so now tanks
23127s blizzard here for noxious it's going to
23129s be hard for Australia to deal with they
23130s do have the teleporter to sort of
23131s manipulate their movement around it but
23134s you can see them struggling to find any
23135s positioning actually they're teleporting
23137s behind C once again kuffa on the
23139s backline just floating into space Kaa
23142s looking for Seeker isolates him with the
23144s grab flux and the artillery St on 3K
23148s Terror surch by false as he just surges
23151s into Australia and buries him 6 feet
23153s under oh that's not good that's not good
23157s great play by false just you could see
23159s kuffer just got caught wasn't able to
23161s get through the teleporter from there
23162s false had a free run into the backline
23165s of Australia and now 80% final fight
23168s territory here for Canada Australia
23169s needs to find something to get into this
23171s fight noxious is hiding hoping that
23174s Canada gives up a bit of space Maybe
23176s baits Australia into a blizzard or just
23179s sees who is going to touch out of
23180s Australia but by the way Australia are
23182s just distancing themselves because of
23183s the at Matrix there of crimo but Canada
23186s a few seconds away from taking map
23188s number one here's a response there from
23189s Aki with the amrix good zoning by Canada
23191s but maybe not able to escape in time the
23193s Bastion damage is simply too much Nami
23196s 3K 4K almost the ace and crimo won't let
23200s it happen good
23202s boy n is bloodthirsty still going for it
23205s for almost kills crimo with the right
23207s clicks but now all of a sudden it's
23209s Australia they have control they have
23211s the photon barer noxious is still
23213s holding on to this blizzard he was
23214s anticipating aele play by Australia that
23216s just never came so didn't get the
23218s opportunity to drop it so fortunately
23220s still holding on to that one but last
23222s fight Australia needs to win this one to
23224s keep the map going Seekers already so
23226s low by the Symetra place man just to
23229s heal back up AI stunned Nami brought
23232s back to almost full health the
23233s protection of the photon barrier helps
23236s Australia out a lot as they as Canada
23238s still hoping to flip but without magic
23240s mall they won't have the speed but they
23242s have an ant Matrix noxious holding on to
23244s the Blizzard hoping Australia get a bit
23246s closer hiding from the rain of damage
23249s here comes more it's Nami with the
23250s artillery strike hoping to flush out the
23253s Rats of Canada 99 to 99 almost the flip
23257s though but not quite yet Australia still
23258s have the point the flux from Kaa kind of
23261s zones him himself off from the point
23263s Canada will cap but they really don't
23265s have bodies to keep protecting it it's
23267s just seeker and Australia will be
23269s forcing round three and Nami just going
23272s nuclear on this Bastion right now
23274s putting out so much damage in pair with
23276s the amplification Matrix just finding
23278s kill after kill and right now we talked
23281s about how strong seeka has been as a
23282s player in the OverWatch league right now
23284s nami's taking it to him ready for battle
23287s everyone's been saying this was you know
23290s our bias said that this was going to be
23291s the match of the day but really this was
23294s going to be the closest in terms of
23296s skill this is the terge we saw off
23298s screen it's just he's just going to let
23301s it happen yeah it's just like well I'm
23304s going down may as well shoots some
23305s bullets on the way out doesn't find
23308s anything and wow that was great play by
23310s false but now we're tied up we head over
23312s to volcano as both teams stick with the
23314s same
23315s compositions this is a pretty close-nit
23318s Point
23320s too now it's orisa versus Sigma fals has
23324s been good at just running them down
23325s that's exactly what orisa needs to do as
23327s long as you protect Seeker some biggest
23330s source of damage but Australia is trying
23332s to counter rotate away come knocked into
23335s the PIP bounces back up nothing to see
23337s here nothing to worry about Australia
23339s does have first point control so it's
23341s going to be Canada who are going to have
23342s to run into Australia Zer and WIS Nami
23344s canot get caught great teleport out by
23346s the team I love the creativity out of
23349s Australia and how they can get away from
23350s Canada Canada got to be careful with how
23352s desperate they become to finish off
23354s these targets they get them so low it's
23356s been some great kind of cheeky
23358s positioning from Canada to go around
23359s these Corners Australia did cap earlier
23361s on Canada's going for the flip an Matrix
23364s Australia are not even going to contest
23366s and somehow only just now has there been
23368s a death Nanda removed and Canada and
23371s that 54 what a maywa from noxious and
23375s Kaa just going to reset with the
23378s team and that's the issue you run into
23380s when you're playing the Sigma versus the
23381s Arisa the Arisa can walk forward with no
23384s fear because she has so many defensive
23386s tools while the sigma you're trying to
23388s poke from mid-range so even though
23389s Australia got you know capture Point
23391s first they eventually got pushed off by
23393s Canada and then all of a sudden
23394s Australia gets a little sporadic and
23396s they're the ones who get picked first we
23398s are seeing AI come up to this
23399s amplification Matrix they could do the
23401s same thing that Canada did step onto the
23402s point drop the an Matrix force their
23404s opposition team away they have good
23406s shelter though on this High ground and
23408s they're really not letting Australia get
23409s set up a at all the May from nox just
23413s kind of broke things up the Matrix came
23414s through but as Australia were just
23416s squeezing this tight area Canada just
23418s blew them up can Canada will hold on to
23421s this lead but it feels like austr are
23422s fighting back all thanks to Kaa what f
23425s and that wait one man sound late sound
23428s bear from btlog trying to keep copper
23430s alive oh one he definitely is going to
23432s want back and that's that's such a huge
23435s tool to go by the wayside because Canada
23437s still holding on to so many of their
23438s ultimates crimzo coming up to another
23440s amplification Matrix at 65% in counting
23442s and close to five ultimates this is
23444s going to be very difficult for Australia
23446s to come in they need some
23448s magic going big forand and friend splits
23450s up the fight but Canada have already
23452s arrived artillery strike two from Seeker
23454s was get Australia low Canada were
23456s looming to see what they could get out
23458s of that fight sound barrier engag Canada
23460s Rush In And a great spear hits nand and
23463s a terror sege is more than enough for
23465s false and friends the wolf pack of
23468s Canada to take down Australia again ah
23471s just rushing some of their ultimates not
23473s completely in sync and it just feels
23475s like Canada was able to withstand
23477s everything that team Australia threw at
23478s them doesn't look like they'll get
23480s another touch in Team Canada going to
23483s potentially take the first map B look
23485s get pinned against the wall by the
23487s javelin from
23489s false damn hey you come back next map
23492s you get your map choice and now you've
23494s you've fallen for our trap lemon now you
23497s get to deal with the wrath of kafer
23499s Reinhardt it's too bad we're remote you
23501s got to go tell the lads that it'll be
23503s okay map choice for Australia is coming
23506s up match point for Team Canada I think
23509s this is this group was it Group B yeah
23512s with Australia uh Great Britain Brazil
23515s Canada is going to be one of the most
23516s difficult ones to predict I think it's
23519s the interesting thing about Group B is
23521s there isn't one team that everyone
23522s expects to just be a standout right
23524s obviously we have the team from China we
23526s have Team USA and Team South Korea who
23528s have been doing very well in their group
23530s so far while everything's up for grabs
23532s in this team be obviously Canada lost
23535s that first match to Great Britain which
23537s was you would say an important one for
23539s you guys so that is why this is an
23542s important first map win cuz you need to
23543s win this series if you're going to make
23545s it out of this group well Samoa went the
23548s distance still I think the teleporter
23550s plays from Australia were were really
23552s fun they really trying to confuse Canada
23554s for a while and see after Canada had
23556s used cooldowns if Australia could kind
23558s of surprise them taking a different
23560s position and with that early engage see
23562s if Australia could get early picks from
23564s it and I was entertained I thought I
23566s have fun yeah Australia seems like a
23569s four fun team in the way that they play
23571s right like they they want to have and
23572s play their own style it feels like they
23574s they have a bunch of wacky strats that I
23576s feel like un's been cooking up in the
23577s background and they utilized it well
23580s somewhat but as soon as Canada sort of
23582s wisened up to some of their strategies
23583s it felt like it's began to fall flat so
23586s potentially Australia if they are going
23588s to continue to face against this orisa
23590s might need to make some
23591s changes see I think yeah the the onean
23594s sound be from btlog I think would have
23596s maybe salvaged the next fight if that
23598s wasn't used but hey maybe Australia can
23600s salvage the series they decide to go to
23601s Circuit Royale oh yeah this is
23604s absolutely going to be a cup of
23606s Reinhardt special we saw them do it just
23608s yesterday against team Brazil Symetra
23609s teleports Reinhardt shatters it's going
23611s to be a good time oh see if that
23613s Reinhardt Will Survive and we'll see you
23615s all on the other side of this
23633s break
23644s [Music]
23651s [Music]
23684s [Music]
23700s [Music]
23752s [Music]
23753s n
23770s [Music]
23783s oh
23788s [Music]
23813s oh
23815s [Music]
23817s winter is coming nah the north is here
23821s first snow has hit Canada and that's
23823s just the buff we
23825s needed yeah you honestly you got a buff
23828s but honestly I thought we would have
23829s something when we went over to Beach and
23831s that is the one that we actually won
23833s because we are right at home and the
23834s Patriotic paraphernalia is right here
23837s honestly we have to represent our
23838s countries I actually had to get it get
23840s it off the wall I actually got stabbed
23841s by a pin but honestly I think I got
23843s outdone by Lemon here you you are very
23845s Canadian right now yes I even very
23849s specifically dyed my hair this color
23851s just to be supportive you're getting
23854s stabbed by your jersey so that's just
23856s the type of Vibes that are going on cuz
23859s you're also getting stabbed in game
23860s Australia dropped game one we did lose
23864s game one but honestly we love a good
23865s Underdog Story down in Australia so I'm
23868s all about it I'm all about it you want
23869s to have your backs against the wall and
23871s honestly I think control is a map type
23873s that I think Australia the way that they
23875s like to play isn't very conducive they
23878s you know also struggled against team
23879s Brazil in the matchup against them you
23881s know having to play some other things so
23883s now they get the map pick they get to go
23885s over to Circa Royale and I think they
23887s should feel a lot more at home uh is
23890s Canada going to try and play the sigma
23891s into it we've seen teams struggle
23893s against the Reinhardt and the symmetra
23894s teleporters you know we just saw that in
23896s the last series so I'm curious to see
23898s what both teams are going to do and with
23900s Fs in the lineup yeah that traditional
23902s off tank I feel like this is his bread
23904s and but when it comes to the meta
23906s difference between Canada from yesterday
23908s today well one Canada's winning but also
23910s two magicball is playing over Cal
23914s yesterday Cal was playing Lucio he's
23915s more known as that Flex support magic
23917s mball is the North American Lucio and
23920s well now he's not playing it right now
23922s but maybe maybe that'll change but um
23925s the L kind of teams are discovering that
23926s the Lucio Sigma seems to be kind of this
23929s really aggressive brawl composition that
23930s is taking up a lot of space and does
23932s well yeah hey I think the Lucio just
23935s gives you a lot more options of how you
23937s want to play the game obviously there
23938s are times that you want to play the
23940s double Flex support and it wouldn't be
23942s the craziest thing if we saw magic Maple
23943s come out here on the Anor but
23945s interesting adjustment here for
23946s Australia they aren't actually going to
23947s play the Reinhardt to my disappointment
23949s they're going to go back to the sigma
23952s unfortunately we don't have Punk to be
23953s able to come in to play the sigma he is
23955s obviously the Australian OverWatch
23957s League player probably the best overwat
23958s league player that we've ever had come
23960s out of the region and he's given the
23962s opportunity to cuffer to be able to play
23964s on this International stage to be able
23966s to play against some of these world
23967s class players so I want to see how CU is
23969s going to match up in this Sigma mirror
23971s yeah lowkey only think it's close cuz
23973s Punk isn't here thanks for giving us a
23974s chance so charitable but Canada are just
23979s speeding right on in have Australia
23981s trapped in a tiny room and as Australia
23983s try to break out they may lose some
23985s bodies in the process but they use the
23987s teleporter of nand to get to The High
23989s Ground to try and put damage above fse's
23991s shield and they kill CS they constantly
23994s just targeting my man's crimo what's up
23996s with that yeah honestly you got to you
23998s got to attack the carry crimso has been
24000s such an exceptional Baptist in the past
24002s and they are doing a great job of like
24004s playing their strategy and then
24005s teleporting in a way that is catching
24007s crimo off guard and honestly the
24008s entirety of Team Canada it looked like a
24011s bad strategy of all of Australia backing
24012s into that room but you can see the
24014s communication and the uh coordination
24016s really coming out in Spades for team
24018s Australia that's a great first point
24020s hold Canada going to the top left now
24024s and trying to get a better angle Above
24025s This Shield Kaa adjusts nai's trying to
24028s go maybe behind that but no maybe just
24030s shielding himself from the damage and is
24033s doesn't probably know where he is might
24034s have missed the teleporter and he's by
24036s himself AI trying to support and
24038s Australia got kind of mixed up with the
24040s teleporter play there and Canada took
24042s advantage yeah I just complimented them
24044s and sang their praises about how foess
24046s that was that second attempt was nowhere
24048s near as fless and now cuffer is actually
24050s getting staggered even though he gets
24051s both of the backliners oh he is going to
24053s die later as well so that should give
24055s Canada an opportunity to step up and
24057s take position before cff can get back to
24059s this point but honestly that's two you
24062s know minute and 40 seconds off of the
24064s clock for team Australia holding close
24066s spawn if they get an effective you know
24068s fight at the back end of this fight that
24069s was a perfect play Australia have a
24072s chance to recontest help the amp me from
24073s AI but has to get the right angle on it
24077s even nand could get some P the CET right
24079s click can be pretty deadly at range
24082s Canada the sound barrier to who's going
24084s to pull P the trigger it's Australia
24085s with the m Matrix walled off from
24087s noxious but it buys Canada enough time
24089s to round this corner and not face the
24091s damage head on false is getting bullied
24093s noxious has his back and Australia will
24096s have to rely on Plan B yeah even though
24098s magic mall is down if you try and push
24100s into that small room there's so many
24101s things that could go wrong just take
24103s that time advantage that you got from a
24104s great amplification Matrix and grenade
24106s from Nami early flux comes out from
24108s Falls followed up by the blizzard ooh
24110s Kaa is very low too and burlock Frozen
24113s up kill not able to drop the sound bar
24115s which could have maybe salvaged that
24117s fight for Australia the photon barrier
24119s is a good defense but I think Australia
24122s want to get this over with so Canada
24124s will cap point a yeah I think burlock
24126s just not able to get the sound barrier
24128s off to deal with the flux blizzard combo
24130s so not a bad hole definitely took a lot
24132s of time off the clock but Canada has
24133s managed to roll through and that only
24135s cost them the flux and the blizzard
24136s smartly held onto some of their other
24138s ultimates so now they're able to
24139s snowball are they going to be able to
24141s hold aggressively like you've already
24142s seen them FSE stepping up does doesn't
24144s want to give Australia the
24146s positioning artillery strike from Seeker
24148s forces out the immortality which is
24149s still very valuable Australia are quite
24152s low and btlog is late with the sound
24153s bear to save nand and Ka up just Falls
24156s over to the a matrix plus Bastion when
24159s you're caught out in the open like that
24161s is just death and that feels bad berl
24164s just not able to get it off in time and
24167s can just able to clean up almost you
24169s freely it did cost them everything they
24171s have in Australia will get another fight
24173s and they do have the big combo once
24175s again the sigma gravitic flux with the
24177s Bastion ultimate if you time that
24179s together but you can see Canada they're
24180s going for a flank they don't want to let
24181s them use these ultimates free noxious is
24183s just getting away with putting so much
24185s damage on so many Heroes at once already
24188s has the blizzard Canada hit by the grab
24190s flux and the artillery strike was a nice
24192s attempt at the combo there from
24193s Australia and noxious feels like he has
24196s to commit the blizzard just to end this
24198s quickly in Canada cap point B oh was
24201s that a love hog that was nice thank you
24202s noxious I wasn't sure
24205s and but that's just great heads up plate
24207s from Canada they recognize the
24208s disadvantage that they have in ultimates
24210s and then take an early fight that caught
24212s Australia off guard and now we're going
24213s to see the switch out of cuffer
24215s realizing ah Sigma isn't really working
24217s let's go go back to the tried and true
24219s and heads over to the Reinhardt oh the
24221s issue with Reinhardt which I know like
24223s hottie and others have proven on the
24225s contrary is that the Reinhardt Shield
24227s can get bust it up quite quickly and
24229s then you're a Sitting Duck not the best
24231s tank to play out range but Australia are
24233s trying to Gap close as much as they can
24234s but they can't seem to get to that High
24237s Ground Canada are holding them at Bay
24239s there's the May wol from noxious it's
24242s great to invest these walls to allow
24243s Canada to rotate into a safer position
24245s Australia haven't been able to punish
24247s that until this moment magic mball is
24249s now the target of those F of that Focus
24252s Australia also stay stable on the cart
24254s they got noxious right where they want
24256s him somehow he gets away that's a huge
24259s flux too with the artillery strike
24261s Australia fall to the floor they
24264s scattered the Canadian Squad but they
24266s just weren't able to find any other
24267s picks they just struggled to take down
24269s noxious they will get another fight but
24271s it's going to be desperation mode btlog
24274s with the sound barer has had a couple of
24275s them go by the wayside needs it to be
24277s perfectly timed to help his team no does
24279s not care he wants this blizzard as soon
24281s as possible sound be Photon barrier is
24284s just a lot of sustain a lot of Defense
24286s from Australia and Australia have
24290s removed that backline that flanker of
24292s noxious and hope to bulldoze the rest of
24294s the Canadians it's an important time to
24296s hold because of how far the card has
24299s pushed it's a difficult point to assail
24301s Canada has to get positioning they have
24303s to move through and you're going to see
24304s false actually recognize this as well
24306s switches over to the Arisa I talked
24308s about it earlier in the series in
24309s general when they play Reinhard if you
24311s switch to Arisa that's a counter but
24312s then cupper instantly makes a SWAT over
24314s to the sigma so that he's in a better
24316s spot in this matchup so you can see the
24318s tank mind games and swaps happening in
24320s real
24321s time okay I've never seen someone would
24324s get flown off that side that cool down
24326s that would have been hilarious not well
24327s I would have been crying but Canada hope
24330s to let it rain here with the blizzard
24332s magic mball is just pushing people into
24335s the blizzard no one is frozen though but
24337s here's the sound of magic mball to give
24339s them a bit more time to really solidify
24342s Canada in this fight there's no healing
24344s for Australia so all damage from Canada
24347s will be permanent has to hope that he
24349s can contest as much as he can 2K might
24352s have just saved this fight I didn't
24354s think Canada was that low and kada still
24357s hoping to cap as they itch their heads
24359s and wonder what they can do in the next
24361s fight we have some Canadian observers in
24363s the production truck as well they're
24364s like okay run it down no can Canada won
24366s you know they're trying to wrap this up
24368s early but no Australia with an
24370s exceptional hold with nami on The Bash I
24373s don't know how he comes up with a double
24374s kill with the artillery strike but it
24376s came in right the nick of time so
24378s Australia are able to hold minute
24380s remaining here for Canada Australia once
24382s again not many ultimates answer back
24384s with so how is Canada going to utilize
24386s the amplification Matrix so far it feels
24389s like Australia's been trying to
24390s disengage from every single
24391s amplification Matrix are Canada going to
24393s recognize that and throw it out a little
24395s bit later than they usually do yeah
24396s crimo smart he won't use it here
24398s Australia have a great moment to round
24400s this corner and avoid it the mayw is
24402s trying to isolate someone from Australia
24404s with the speed of B log they managed to
24406s get out but that cost B log's Life 5 42
24409s with the crimo at Matrix up top now
24411s they're down low but the photon bar
24413s Australia is a good point to defend on
24416s they can just stay on their side of the
24418s field and Canada got to wait it out
24419s around the
24420s corner yeah and that's once again Nami
24423s seems to be the player who's coming up
24425s with all the picks when they need it
24426s most his Bastion has been exceptional so
24428s far in this series and now final fight
24430s territory f with a terror surge is a
24432s scary Prospect if you watch map one but
24434s kapper can respond with the uh gravi
24436s flux of his own yeah Risa can take
24439s pressure really well just the tankiest
24442s of Tanks all also anyone who gets close
24445s the terrce surge will end them crimo
24448s being down a lot of healing is gone
24450s there's no sound no hope for Canada to
24454s complete circuit Royale what a defense
24456s out of Australia yes great play from
24459s Australia able to just hold on by the
24462s the Skin of Their Teeth so because
24465s they're able to hold there they don't
24466s have to worry about getting to overtime
24468s it's a simple strategy all you got to do
24469s is get it to the end of the third point
24472s the question that I have for Australia
24473s now is because FS can't make those
24475s retroactive swaps over to the Arisa do
24478s they decide to come out on the Reinhardt
24480s and try and run down the sigma of fals
24482s or they just going to try and take that
24484s Sigma mirror because when they were in
24485s the sigma mirror it felt like Canada had
24487s the edge it's also been a you're looking
24490s at the tanks I'm looking at the bastions
24492s too not going to lie Nami kind of saved
24494s that fight for Australia with that 2K
24497s still don't know how that artillery
24498s strike U Got the 2K like that and even
24501s Seeker has caught Australia off guard
24503s just catching them in the open with the
24505s ant Matrix that's really well timed with
24507s crimzo and with magic mball in the
24509s lineup Canada just look a lot more
24511s decisive on these Lucio pushes yeah
24513s absolutely I I think Canada is doing a
24515s better job of adapting on the fly in the
24518s middle of these fights while Australia
24519s can it's getting scattered a little bit
24520s too much if they can start tighten that
24523s up a little bit there's potential that
24525s they will you know be able to start
24526s turning some of these fights because
24527s right now it feels like Canada they're
24529s really determining the flow of the game
24531s but if Kaa does come out on this
24533s Reinhard was saying that might put the
24535s ball back in their cour yeah the rinard
24537s would be great at dueling close range
24539s but now seeing maybe the the sigma come
24541s out again does he want to mirror it or
24544s not and with the te teleporter that's
24546s going to be a great Gap closer option
24549s along with the Lucio Australia are out
24551s the gates in a quick teleport Canada are
24554s already speeding away nami's in tank
24556s form and good grasp too from false to
24559s eat up a lot of that pressure as
24561s Australia kind of I've already used
24563s their cool Downs now so I have to take a
24565s second and obviously the big advantage
24567s of Sigma is that you can shoot from
24569s mid-range and you have bullets while
24570s Reinhardt you have to be in their face
24572s if you're going to offer absolutely
24573s anything so they need to keep going in
24575s with these teleporters if they're going
24577s to play this Reinhard composition the is
24579s just so from the rest of the team whoa
24581s getting very low yeah you're going to
24583s have to talk to him about that one uh I
24585s thought he was charging into his own
24586s death there and who is teleporting
24589s behind there I don't know but Australia
24592s having issues with the Bastion but
24594s Canada got so desperate to finish off
24596s these kills they found themselves in a
24599s pickle so Australia somehow get get
24601s through in this fight yeah we were
24603s questioning that symmetra teleport flank
24605s and we were trying to work out where
24606s they were going because they were so
24607s split from the rest of the team but it
24608s it was just ay who was just shooting
24610s into the back of the head of the
24611s Canadian team drops the amplification
24613s Matrix and is able to trade out some of
24615s those kills and the card starts moing
24617s for Australia that was great play but
24619s you can see kaffa at 31% all charge Nami
24621s at 40% all charge they have not been
24623s able to do anything so far in this match
24626s up oh oh that's a bad death as well yeah
24630s just a random IES at
24632s range a lot of the supports are are kind
24635s of getting first blooded and I'm not
24636s even just targeting btlaw crimzone magic
24638s mate ball two and that's made a huge
24640s difference in these fights yeah and now
24643s all of a sudden it gets more difficult
24644s for the clumped up composition of
24645s Australia they're going to be running
24647s into a gravitic flux from false noxious
24649s is going to have the blizzard as well so
24651s there's going to be so many threats that
24652s they're just going to have to avoid Aki
24653s Falls now as well you spoke to It Lemon
24657s just support are falling left and right
24659s oh later wa I don't even know how that
24661s happened teleport behind somebody and
24664s pin them in fun little r strats sound
24667s bear from Canada they think this is
24668s winable especially with Calo and Canada
24671s are now playing kill confirm and
24674s Australia have half their time bank on
24676s this is getting very messy all of a
24677s sudden AI goes up in the air sound
24679s barrier Photon barrier everyone's just
24681s throwing ALS left and right to stay in
24683s this fight finally counter is going to
24685s disengage but A's got to be careful they
24687s can't get a head full of steam you can
24688s see noxious waiting there wants to drop
24690s the Bard does he manage to get it off he
24693s got St but the blizzard is still active
24695s the artillery strike from Seeker double
24697s kill and Australia are just sitting
24700s ducks sitting kangaroos I don't know but
24702s man Australia they can pull through
24705s sometimes in these chaotic moments yeah
24707s and honestly it feels like Australia
24709s wants to keep it a little messy it feels
24710s like where they're right at home but
24712s they kind of got baited into that
24713s noxious blizzard he was stuck in the ice
24715s block you saw cuffer just waiting for
24716s him to come out maybe hoping with the
24718s Earth shatter that he'd be able to
24720s cancel the blizzard before it came out
24722s but it just wasn't enough and as soon as
24723s that blizzard comes down comboed with
24725s the artillery strike there's just
24727s nothing Australia can do and now minute
24728s remaining for Australia to get through
24730s here at Matrix from
24732s primmo almost caught Australia there and
24735s they're kind of split from each other
24736s using the barriers as cover Naki placed
24739s his own amp Matrix which kind of scared
24741s Canada back to this corner
24743s Hillary strike now from Nami you got
24746s some pretty close members there of
24747s Canada they're hoping to stay alive
24749s through all of this fire 37 seconds and
24752s Australia can see the end of point a and
24754s Ka almost saw life flash before his eyes
24757s finally he's finished off he can't keep
24759s getting away with that and Canada know
24761s to punish Kappa when he doesn't have
24763s that shield and there's nothing else he
24765s can do without it Australia just aren't
24768s able to find the picks right now it
24769s feels like they're just constantly
24771s running into the endless amounts of Dage
24773s damage that Canada is throwing at them
24775s they'll have one last fight no ultimates
24777s to speak to and false has a gravic flux
24780s this is going to be difficult you're
24781s going to need something special from
24783s somebody all right last fight for
24785s Australia or will it be Canada taking
24788s the series Australia now hoping to run
24792s away from this grab flux you know Kaa is
24793s going to get killed by the rest of the
24795s team let's go for the most important
24797s ones the supports Aki is just getting
24799s backhanded by false as Australia are
24802s just scuff scuffling through the car not
24805s able to contest it for much longer and
24808s Canada take the series to oh I had
24811s something meaner to say but you know
24813s GG's
24816s man how honestly you know as much as
24820s there were some good moments from
24821s Australia team Canada definitely showing
24823s to be the better team in this series I
24825s think the way that they play coordinated
24827s they played to their strengths you could
24828s really see and I think the adaptation of
24830s putting magic Maple onto the Lucio
24832s definitely help you guys like you looked
24834s where you were disjointed yesterday I
24835s feel like the Lucio fi in some of those
24837s holes and that's I feel like we got a
24840s better explanation of the meta as as the
24842s days go on in the group stage a lot of
24844s teams are looking better almost with a
24846s Lucio Sigma or a Lucio Arisa of course
24849s this is depending on
24851s preferences like that seeker and nox is
24853s and everybody are throwing up the uh
24855s number one or L I don't know what
24856s they're throwing up but yeah well you're
24858s not number one because you also lost to
24860s Great Britain so we're both equally
24862s losers unfortunately
24864s so
24865s we Australia will take down Great
24867s Britain and it'll all be fun and we'll
24868s all have our good time and then the
24870s group will really be busted wide open
24872s but so far Australia just not able to
24874s hold up to what was against them the
24876s Reinhardt not working out like I had
24877s hoped it
24879s would oh it's a tight group be oh I
24882s don't even know who's going to come out
24883s of it maybe both of us can I don't know
24886s we we both have to beat down great it's
24888s going to be up to you but also let's go
24890s check in with the desk and how
24893s predictions when I appreciate your
24898s predictions you you know all uh Casta
24902s took that L with a lot of Grace just
24904s saying that they're now equal
24906s [Music]
24907s losers can Canada lost so much yesterday
24911s sure why not phrase it like that very
24914s graceful uh gracefully done here Costa
24916s let's talk about how they got it done
24919s Canada they definitely made the right
24921s adaptation settings the match today that
24923s a very good idea of what they want to
24925s play and how their win conditions are
24927s going to look like and they look
24929s dominant
24930s honestly look I I I predicted austral I
24933s said Ryan or Danny I don't know about
24935s you but same I me I no I want entire
24939s plan
24940s the I said I said in the prediction I
24942s was like hey I love I love a good R rush
24944s but you know Australia we only saw a
24947s glimpse of that I think towards the end
24949s uh but I mean fantastic job from Canada
24952s right I mean yeah like but before going
24954s into the match I was like I said you
24956s know they are going to be making some
24957s adjustments and I think those
24958s adjustments came in clutch like having
24960s made Magic mball on that Lucio I think
24962s helped a lot for Team Canada plus they
24964s seemed a lot more organized they seemed
24967s a lot more synchronized I think the
24968s whole team in general looked a lot
24970s better uh today compared to yesterday
24973s when they were uh fighting against Great
24974s Britain I I mean they they they CH they
24977s they p a they p a fast one on Australia
24979s really they did cuz they were like okay
24981s well we're going to agree kind of that
24983s Sigma is meta but when you play Sigma
24985s we're going to play orisa and we're just
24986s going to push the tempo and make life
24988s really difficult for kafa and then kafa
24990s was like well I'm done with your
24992s shenanigans we're going to play rinard
24993s well the problem is Kaa as much as I
24995s love you and as much as I love rinard it
24998s just ain't it currently for the most
25000s part RH not just ain't it it's very
25002s difficult to make happen against you
25003s know the likes of or and sigma for
25005s example so uh it's it's tough it was a
25007s tough match up for Australia but you
25009s know given the fact that they already
25011s got um one win against Brazil maybe you
25013s know they get a dub against Great
25015s Britain and you're looking pretty so
25017s it's not it's not it's not over yet no
25019s uh this group is still wide open
25021s honestly the only uh team which is uh
25025s currently in the best possible spot is
25027s of course the United Kingdom but that
25028s can change as well here are the current
25030s standings and man it's close in a lot of
25034s those groups I absolutely love to see
25036s that I love when our predictions are
25037s absolutely got off wrong and uh the team
25041s surpris us because why not this is what
25044s the O World Cup is all
25047s about um I I I'm going to say it I got
25051s four predictions wrong and two right
25053s today I'm still winning I got two right
25054s what a day I got two right yeah let's go
25057s woohoo been the same honestly to be fair
25061s though again we're predicting with our
25062s hearts we're just cheering those players
25064s on man just excited we're just vibing
25067s we're just vibing speaking of Vibes it
25070s is fun speaking of fun you make me
25072s change by transitions takeaways of day
25075s two there was a lot of great matches a
25077s lot of highlight worthy moments so I
25079s want to pick you guys' brain to find out
25081s what got you going starting with you
25084s Danny what's your personal highlight for
25086s me personally it was seeing team from
25089s China play we haven't seen them
25090s yesterday today was their debut and it
25093s was it was just a joy to see they were
25096s amazing you know some of these players
25098s or all of these players Shai Leaf gu
25100s monk Linka we all know them and love
25102s them and so we were I was actually very
25105s excited to see them perform today and
25107s they delivered you know so um honestly
25110s after seeing their performance I
25111s honestly think along with South Korea I
25114s think a team from China definitely is
25116s another team that could really make a
25118s Deep Run uh in the tournament I've been
25120s telling you telling you I've telling you
25122s yeah yeah you know what CH be the year
25125s you know what Johnny you you know you
25127s also told me yeah you also told me the
25129s uh the uh Prim Primal platter but uh it
25133s did yeah we didn't see that much huh we
25136s yeah he had a he had a sleep up there
25137s calling gu prival bladder uh we tried to
25141s save it with he's definitely having a
25143s lot of drip on the server but I don't
25145s think there are no recordings of this
25147s there is I you are just coming up with
25149s stuff out of thin air now it's out there
25151s it's just there there's no evidence that
25153s this was you can't just make stuff up
25155s Danny can't just do that sure yeah I
25158s just made it up I mean I I'll take
25160s credit I think that's a that's a very
25161s funny line Primal gu Primal
25165s bladder well
25166s regardless gu got his eyes on the prize
25169s so the of course leaf and Shai all three
25172s of these players have been participating
25175s in the last three o World Cups and they
25177s are eager to finally get that first
25179s placement so let's see if this is the
25181s Year Johnny what was your highlight for
25184s day number two magic mball I'm a fan
25188s that's all I'm a fan all right this
25190s picture is everything to me the fact
25192s they photoshopped in a massive Moon you
25195s mean that's a beautiful moon look at
25197s that Moon that moon is massive and look
25199s at that that W also in front of like the
25202s palm tree which means that would be the
25205s largest palm tree possible if it wraps
25207s around the moon but yeah this picture is
25210s everything so magic made ball uh you you
25212s got a new fan in me today and surely a
25215s lot of others especially the way you
25217s dominate Australia Honestly though like
25219s yes it may or may not be photoshopped
25221s but that night it it was the full moon
25223s it was the hunters Moon wolves are
25225s Hunters coincidence I last full moon uh
25228s at the 28 it was the hunters moon really
25230s yeah do you keep track of this stuff
25232s yeah because I can't sleep during full
25233s moon oh wait like really I genuinely
25236s struggle I don't know what because of
25238s the light or because like you just vibes
25241s okay the energy so I hate so magic
25244s mapall is a werewolf I can't sleep
25246s without him I what are we talking about
25248s guys get it together guys come on we got
25251s to be professional
25254s sure I want a Moonlight I said what I
25256s said I will not retract my statement um
25261s yeah Vibes it's all about the Vibes we
25262s had a lot of good vibes on the server
25264s and out of the server uh player cams
25266s were my personal highlights especially
25269s during the game of Team Spain and team
25273s Taiwan look at H go look at him go and
25276s TI is like you what
25279s mate you
25281s go and uh Spain they brought it today
25284s they brought it today and this is
25285s exactly the energy I want Mexico and
25288s Colombia they were also having fun with
25291s it getting the wave started there
25295s nice yeah know it's it's great to see
25298s these players you know they're literally
25299s in the same room they're they're playing
25301s the game that they love and they're you
25302s can see that they're enjoying it it's
25304s it's fun yep no that's that's what we
25307s want to see that's what we want to see
25308s have fun with it you know give it your
25310s best but also don't forget to actually
25313s just enjoy the process the journey being
25315s there on landine with those other teams
25317s and playing against some of the best in
25319s the world what a joy what a joy for them
25322s to do it what a joy for us to watch and
25323s we have much more of that coming our way
25325s tomorrow let's take a look at the
25327s schedule for day three of our group
25328s stages got some more bangers on the line
25331s here any of those standing out to you
25333s guys KSA versus USA that's going to be a
25336s good one for sure mhm right this are you
25340s going are you going to pick all the all
25342s the other the rest of all the matches no
25344s got to pick mention one I can only pick
25346s one today that I I I think I have to go
25350s with Australia against Great Britain
25351s though it's obviously a crucial match up
25353s now for Australia if they want to make
25354s it out of the groups um but then again
25357s like as we've said many times this week
25360s Group B is the toughest group and so
25363s we're go I think we're going to see some
25365s good matchups from Group B so I got to
25367s stick with the theme Here Australia
25369s Canada Great Britain all competing for
25371s two spots making out of group b uh
25373s that's the one to watch out for I
25375s generally think that group D and Group B
25377s uh manag to somehow make it equally
25380s competitive within their group I do
25382s think based on the performance from
25383s Japan and of course Saudi Arabia this is
25386s going to be tough and now France looking
25388s improve but the USA did they look shaky
25391s or or was France just a lot better like
25394s we don't know we don't know I know I
25397s mean they were better they were better
25398s but USA was nowhere near as convincing
25401s that I would have wanted them to be
25405s yeah yeah I said what I said I need I
25409s need
25410s confir affirmative so affirmative I
25413s agree soe well thank you so
25417s much great point was that was not so
25421s hard but anyway it was was a long day I
25425s get it uh we could all be at the same
25427s page and agree on things again tomorrow
