787s I'm your full control of Choke gravity
789s on the second polar shows that face they
791s try and use the rock but it's a little
793s bit too late the animation startup

798s pieces
800s foreign
804s and welcome back to the calling all
807s heroes Challengers cup 2 we are on day
810s two of the tournament so far and I am
813s waffles for Sid we've got thibodork on
816s the mic joining me today and we are
819s excited to be bringing you all of the
821s action you'll be seeing coming up Sybil
824s how are you feeling and honestly it's
826s great to see you since we got to meet up
828s in Anaheim for Grand finals dude yeah
831s yeah no I mean it's it's been a wild
833s couple weeks it's always wild here in
835s Esports town right I got the call up
838s like hey what are you doing you want to
839s come do some casting and I said uh ABS
842s freaking lutely so here we are happy to
844s be working with you and happy to be here
846s for what is shaping up to be a pretty
849s awesome day of games
850s yeah it is actually I think our first
853s game might be one of the best games we
856s have seen as of yet uh you know we had a
859s bunch of uh three or sorry two zeros
861s come through yesterday from the
863s tournament but there's still a lot more
865s rounds to go through for the Swiss
867s rounds
869s um you know big important sorry big
872s important standings coming through to
874s really ensure they're going on to the
876s next phase in a position they want to be
878s right you don't want to be too far in
880s the middle pack of the teams to advance
882s to tomorrow
883s right yeah today is the day where if
886s you've been already doing pretty well in
888s the first rounds you want to really
889s cement your place
891s um up in the top 16 and if you're not in
894s that top 16 currently today's kind of
896s the day to get there this is kind of to
898s be all end-all uh we're gonna go through
900s one more round of switch today and then
902s top 16 Advanced tomorrow uh we are going
905s to do our best to pull towards a top
907s four top four advancing to the finals of
910s this cup cup number two so I mean we've
914s got some great teams on board today like
915s you said we have uh an extremely close
918s matchup at least in terms of standings
920s as we've seen it so far and plenty of
923s maps for them to play on look at this
924s map over here oh yeah it's our you know
927s it's our classic order of map Pool right
929s you start off with control as per usual
932s we'll move into hybrid escort and then
935s close out the day with push if need be
937s uh so far we're starting off with first
940s to two for our round robin series uh we
943s will be opening with Nepal for our first
946s uh I believe we're on Swiss round four
948s if I recall correctly yeah so we'll
950s start off with Nepal for our first
952s control map on our first uh series we
955s cover but we're actually going to see
957s Timeless ethereal versus altiora Nimbus
960s our number three and four ranked teams
962s uh we've seen a handful of these others
965s play yesterday on their games and uh
967s well some big favorites at the top with
971s dart monkeys and uh Pursuit up there at
974s a perfect standing and pristine record
977s um so far number one on over buff has
980s had some tough competition though they
982s were quite the Heavy Hitters in our
983s first Challengers cup and honestly
985s they're really going to look to make
987s their place here the second time around
989s right yeah like today is really the day
992s to show like can you take it to these
994s top teams you know can these top four
996s maintain their spots or are you know
998s some of the teams below them and in five
1000s through eight or even below going to
1002s start to kind of make their way up that
1004s ladder three and four especially here
1007s for our first game right Timeless
1008s ethereal Tiara Nimbus both have quite a
1011s lot to prove moving into uh our our next
1015s round of Swiss and moving into ideally
1017s uh top 16. I think it'd be pretty hard
1020s for these guys not to make it at this
1021s point with how they've been playing I'm
1023s very confident looking at them that
1024s these guys are going to be sticking
1025s around they have some big names on their
1028s roster they've been really showing up
1029s showing us what they can do but I mean
1032s at this point you're looking at like
1033s specific seating you're looking at right
1035s right you want to be showing like Hey
1038s we're not just like up there we are the
1041s top dogs so uh bottom 16 here or outside
1045s of the top 16 let's say because I can do
1047s math these teams are the folks that
1050s really need to step up and punch their
1053s way into the first section of this
1056s graphic totally you know it's it's not
1057s impossible but they have some work ahead
1059s of them yeah and you know some of these
1062s teams also had uh some pretty tough
1065s lineups right going out the problem I
1068s guess maybe not the problem but the the
1070s risk you run with round Robins is you
1072s don't really know who you're going to
1073s play first and some of these unfortunate
1076s teams had the pleasure of seeing our top
1079s six teams in some of their first two
1081s games right out of the gate so you know
1083s it's always a little uh mixed up here
1086s and there's a plenty of opportunity for
1087s them to come back today uh you know
1090s everyone's working hard but there's a
1093s lot of targets on the back for those
1094s people who are already in the top 16 and
1098s well
1100s we're gonna see three and four face off
1102s so I really think it's gonna be a great
1104s way of kind of establishing where they
1107s actually are in those rankings and what
1110s the skill level is because like we said
1112s round robin you don't really know who
1114s you're going to play exactly and which
1116s ranking they're going to be right out of
1117s the gate and uh well this is where we're
1120s gonna see them really set themselves
1123s apart from the pack and uh show us
1126s hopefully some solid consistency right
1128s yeah yeah a chance to establish yourself
1130s is like the roster that can punch not
1133s just on the bottom teams but the teams
1135s that are right there with you as well as
1138s we take a look at Timeless ethereal here
1139s to start off I mean this roster in and
1142s of itself has already proven with a 3-0
1144s record to start off the qualifier but
1146s they have what it takes that they that
1148s they are punching at an appropriate
1150s class that this will also be kind of
1153s probably their toughest challenge yet
1155s and definitely a preview I imagine of
1157s what we're going to be seeing tomorrow
1158s in the top 16. we're going to be seeing
1161s those teams that are truly a level above
1164s suddenly clashing against one another so
1167s this will be a great opportunity to kind
1169s of see what this group of Gamers right
1172s here can get into you've got Jim and jam
1175s which are just fun to say these two
1177s together
1178s um you of course have aramore you who
1179s has been around for a bajillion years in
1182s tier two yes a prominent voice a
1184s phenomenal player you have Azure over
1186s here and Santana as well just like all
1189s clearly stepping up and coming together
1191s in a big way in what can only be
1193s described as a really key moment to this
1196s team and I'm full of those players
1198s played on previous calling all Hero
1200s teams for the first Challengers cup
1202s including Mochi and 130 time zone so uh
1206s you know those were also some pretty
1208s solid teams for the first Challengers
1210s cup moving over though we're gonna see
1212s alteora Nimbus who also participated in
1216s our first Challengers cup we got to
1219s cover them earlier and well I am excited
1222s to see what they bring to the table they
1225s had a very strong dominant performance
1227s in their round Robins but it was a tough
1231s it was a tough ranking of teams to go
1234s against for the finals and they didn't
1235s quite make it all the way there but you
1239s know alteor has been around for quite a
1241s while they originally were founded in
1245s 2020 as an offshoot from andravada which
1248s was created by our very own Bailey AKA
1252s Pizza penguin and they were also women's
1256s and
1257s lgbtqia plus type of organization trying
1260s to really drive inclusivity and you know
1263s I have to say civil it is pretty cool to
1266s see how this has come full circle for
1268s the marginalized genders and
1271s specifically for Bailey bringing this
1273s event alive
1275s um obviously the Fantastic results here
1277s that you see brought together but we had
1280s quite a fun time at Grand finals too
1283s right yeah yeah I mean speaking with
1285s Bailey um to to bring in some context
1287s about me for anyone who doesn't know me
1289s I've been around also for a bajillion
1292s years in tier two I created contenders
1294s underscore ow I was the founding social
1297s media manager for Triumph way back in
1298s the day like we've been around you know
1301s I I have passed through the hands of
1303s numerous
1304s um you know heads of contenders and so
1306s on and our Supreme Overlord as I was
1309s told to refer to her has been doing some
1311s major work behind the scenes and really
1314s bringing things together and both the
1316s success of the challengers cup as well
1318s as the success success of altiora kind
1321s of as an overarching org is definitely
1325s due in huge part to her
1328s um thank you my PayPal I believe is your
1331s in your DMs
1334s um but as we get into game as we focus
1336s on maybe something a little more on
1339s topic for the exact moment we're in
1341s we're coming up on here we're starting
1344s on sanctum and we've got some positions
1348s coming online Winston's uh sojourn
1350s obviously no surprise essel starting on
1352s the Sim I imagine just for the TP yep
1354s there's the reaper and we're getting a
1355s mirror we're getting exactly what we
1357s expected
1359s yeah you know everyone wants to get to
1361s the point as quickly as possible
1366s right a jump comes through is forcing
1369s out a bit of the Suzy here and trying to
1371s continue putting pressure on to all your
1373s Nimbus Timeless ethereal still applying
1376s the pressure but no one has quite
1378s captured the objective yet this is quite
1380s the Skirmish here on the side and with
1382s the bubble covering There Is No Escape
1384s Pros are right there I'll see where
1386s Nimbus gonna go ahead and take the point
1388s first
1389s I mean I'm good on them just for having
1391s like the great initial engage of knowing
1393s just when to step up just when to pull
1395s out a cooldown right there this is very
1397s much a meta where it's okay how early
1400s can we force out the suzu and then how
1402s quickly can we convert on that open
1404s window of vulnerability yeah so all to
1406s our members stepping up first
1409s there's Jim popping
1413s into your face studies going to have to
1415s be careful and alter continues to throw
1418s resources into keeping them topped off
1420s damn taken down in the mix of it signs
1423s of following another kill there onto
1425s aramori and now it's gonna beat all to
1428s yours still continuing to hold the point
1430s and we we see this a lot coming into
1432s control especially in this meta where if
1434s you're going to get first control and
1436s win that first fight you probably have a
1438s pretty decent time with it for the next
1440s two or three fights right the
1442s positioning Advantage especially on a
1443s map like sanctum is huge and now as we
1446s get into what's looking to be our third
1448s fight off your Nimbus also they still
1449s have that positional advantage and
1451s they're coming online with a lot of
1452s great ultimates though they did use the
1454s Kitsune rush in the last fight so that
1456s is an open window here for our military
1460s by Santana he has probably they have
1463s Purple Rage online as well Jam gets
1466s taken down by the railgun shot and well
1469s zenzook goes ahead and puts everyone in
1471s their place with that quick shutdown
1473s there's no one there to really keep
1475s putting pressure on the point 71
1477s captured and now we are encroaching on
1480s last fight territory I last fight
1483s territory yes but I will say the
1484s Timeless 3 will have at least had
1486s extremely good like ultimate discipline
1488s in the sense that they are not blowing
1490s things trying to clutch out a lost fight
1491s they use that Primal kind of midday
1494s through to try and establish the space
1495s and also here snooky he's going to see
1498s what he can get with the death box he
1501s does get Spotify
1502s all right not sneaky enough that's fine
1504s that's fine uh still waiting around a
1506s bit and aramari goes ahead and Pops
1508s keepsune there trying to get Timeless in
1511s this fight they've lost Santana in the
1513s process and Jim follows suit there is so
1516s much pressure being put out by altiora
1518s Nimbus and as a result his Timeless
1520s cannot get on the point they're getting
1522s booped off one after another in this
1524s first round goes to altior nimbus
1527s and I mean that that whole thing really
1529s was an exercise both in just a solid
1532s neutral game for El Fiora there uh as
1535s well as as just understanding like the
1536s geometry of a map like sanctum you have
1539s these crazy chokes that you well kind of
1541s the main joke that you always have to
1542s try and go through if you're gonna go as
1544s a team yeah with how this meta wants to
1547s play
1548s um and that whole time if you can't be
1550s aggressive enough to pull out a cooldown
1552s or force a mispositioned error of some
1555s sort from uh altiora you're you're not
1558s going to make much Headway so even when
1560s Timeless ethereal builds up their
1561s ultimates came into that last fight with
1563s some tools at their disposal they
1565s weren't really able to convert strictly
1566s because altiora was so prepared for that
1569s they were able to store their own
1570s ultimates they were able to control the
1572s pace of their cooldown usage offensively
1574s and defensively and I mean that was
1576s frankly a bit of a master class Shrine
1580s is a new day
1581s well and control is definitely its own
1584s Beast Heroes you know we could see some
1586s different results on the other map types
1589s it looks like there's already been some
1590s uh sojourns just popping off right here
1593s on the railgun shot but with steady
1595s going down it is going to favor Timeless
1597s since well with no tank you don't really
1599s have the staying power you want to stay
1601s to take points yeah Winston is uh I
1604s think it's an understatement to say he's
1605s pretty important in this meta he's
1607s definitely a linchman of this entire
1609s composition
1610s his engagement is insanely strong always
1612s has been his damage is pretty good he's
1614s got his ranged option now his ultimate
1616s is great like he is such a key piece for
1619s losing their Winston earlier on without
1621s a bad time Nice disruptor Shot coming
1624s through here and now it's still putting
1626s more pressure on to Timeless forcing
1629s them away and allowing ezel to just
1631s follow up on so much damage free firing
1634s here into the heart of timeless
1637s right and I I mean we can't we kind of
1639s call it as we go cast a curse as it is
1641s Santana goes down and altiora here is
1643s starting to make some progress they want
1645s to clean this up before they get back to
1646s point but they do manage to pull that
1647s off so 34 gain for Timeless it's
1650s something it's not nothing but now all
1652s tour is setting up like establishing
1654s their position here they have consuming
1656s Rush coming online they're also ahead in
1658s the sound barrier by a decent pit and if
1661s they do this right they can really
1662s create a nice cycle of ultimates to come
1664s through Timeless theory on the other
1666s hand God is already coming online with
1668s the uh overtime maybe you get something
1670s out of that especially if you can
1671s combine it with a sooner Rush Oh Yeah
1677s hey man goes ahead pops the kids DNA
1680s early in this fight Esso gets aggressive
1682s as a response and continues to pressure
1685s Timeless ethereal back into their own
1688s spawn absolutely Relentless in a
1691s beautiful early instigation coming
1693s through from alter nimbus and it's funny
1696s because at the start of that I was
1697s thinking oh great time was they're doing
1699s what they need to do and they see an
1701s ultimate and they leave and normally
1704s that happens you see the other team
1706s disengaging go all right we scared him
1708s off we're good right and Altria and
1709s Nimbus said nah we could pull an extra
1710s 20 out of us if we just run out then
1713s like they're playing with that that
1714s almost Reckless confidence except it is
1716s perfectly calculated
1719s well there is a full court press here
1721s being executed by altering Nimbus and
1724s now Timeless is trying to shove them
1725s back they have gone ahead popped this
1728s overclock and the sound barrier keeps
1729s altior in this fight there is a death
1732s Blossom here from SLS he continues to
1734s just try and put the pressure on it's
1736s all about steady keeping this pressure
1739s continuing to fill the kill feed and
1741s once again holding defensively strong
1743s altiora takes this point I mean and a
1747s great rotation there coming through from
1748s altiora a fantastic sound barrier from
1750s karibi coming through at just the right
1752s time time was starting to push up
1753s popping what they could to try and
1755s create that clutch factor that I was
1757s talking about and they just weren't able
1758s to and now it's going to be all they can
1760s do to just touch the point and force
1761s another play oh and this is not where
1763s you want to be when you need to engage
1765s it's so much more difficult you have to
1767s be perfect sound barrier has is here for
1770s Timeless to try and keep them in this
1772s fight but with Jam going down shortly
1773s after they already are hurting on their
1776s support side the point continuing to try
1779s and uh they flip the point in their
1781s favor but altiora has not given up they
1784s don't have to take it right away they're
1786s going to cap it back themselves win the
1788s fight and go ahead and look to win this
1791s map thibble yep the overtime rules as
1794s they are that's an easy dub there for
1796s alteora
1797s um I mean it's just a rough spot to be
1799s put in If You're Timeless right you're
1800s engaging with the sound barrier to force
1802s over time don't listen to wizard young
1804s it's usually not a good idea to do that
1806s we'll be coming through here with the uh
1810s that's not the sound barrier but I love
1812s so much
1814s believe it so man because I was having a
1817s great game yeah and just in general I
1820s mean again I throw the word master class
1822s around but that was kind of textbook as
1825s nepals go so it's showing there
1828s whole thing yeah
1831s well kuropi really living up to their
1833s namesake of uh playing the Frog Hero on
1836s the board and honestly the Lucio has
1840s been critical to you know allowing these
1842s teams to play at such a fast rate and
1845s really capitalize on some of those
1847s engagements and follow up on the Dives
1849s that Winston is doing uh those suzu
1852s aren't critical you mentioned earlier
1854s how you're trying to get them forced out
1855s and honestly I think altior did a
1858s fantastic job at continuing to instigate
1861s and force Timeless to use those
1863s resources early
1865s yeah yeah I mean I I think a big thing
1867s that we often talk about in any level of
1869s OverWatch in any game is are you playing
1871s your own game are you forced to play
1873s someone else's this is a great example
1875s of altieronymus constantly playing
1878s exactly the way they wanted to play at
1880s the tempo they wanted to play the
1882s location they wanted to play and
1883s Timeless ethereal kind of always needing
1885s to adapt always on the back foot always
1888s okay we need to rotate we need to be
1890s reactive rather than proactive that's a
1893s rough spot to be in yes yeah control in
1896s general like you mentioned can kind of
1898s create those scenarios pretty readily
1900s but there's plenty of series left here
1902s potentially for Timeless ethereal to
1904s bring that back yeah there definitely is
1906s although here in our Swiss around Robin
1909s stages it is only first two so although
1913s both of these teams are still you know
1915s sitting feeling good at three and four
1917s rank there's still uh you know a little
1920s bit of pressure for Timeless to actually
1922s perform and turn this around now you
1925s know they've got some pretty experienced
1927s players on their team you mentioned
1929s aramori earlier who's been around the
1931s scene for a long time and honestly as
1935s their primary in-game leader I'm sure
1936s she's got a lot of pressure to help them
1938s moving into their hybrid map next so
1941s we'll have to see what they decide as uh
1944s Nimbus won the last one and we'll be
1946s right back folks so don't go anywhere

2072s folks and welcome back to the calling
2075s all heroes Challengers cup 2 we are in
2078s the midst of our first series of the day
2080s in our round robin stage four and we are
2083s about to see Timeless ethereal go up
2086s against alteor and Nimbus on our hybrid
2088s map and well Sybil considering it's a
2092s hybrid are we going to King's Row
2094s probably
2096s statistically yeah but I mean all three
2100s right here these are probably my
2101s favorite hybrids now looking at these
2104s three I've Loved Paraiso since it was
2106s added in I think it was vibrant and fun
2109s and dynamic in so many different ways
2111s that we haven't seen King's Row of
2113s course being the ubiquitous classic you
2117s know Timeless moments of OverWatch
2118s history have happened on King's Row and
2121s then eichenwald of course is kind of
2124s starting to become that sort of map for
2126s me yeah um but I won't talk about it
2127s because we are going to King zero
2129s Excellent Choice by timeless
2131s not a surprising Choice honestly it's
2134s easily the uh Community favorite to to
2138s be on
2139s um actually you know with the junk
2141s junkertown bug happening we got kicked
2143s out of our junkertown game last night
2144s and put into a King's Row game instead
2147s so uh you know a nice little upgrade on
2150s the evening there but these teams are
2153s going to be really comfortable on King's
2154s Row as we all are here in OverWatch
2157s right we know every single choke coming
2160s through and it's gonna be really a big
2162s question of can Timeless ethereal adapt
2165s or maybe wake up a bit and come to play
2168s for this series because uh alteora came
2172s in strong for that last map yeah I mean
2175s Coming Out Swinging on a first to two is
2178s is a strong recipe for Success so not a
2180s lot of time here for Timeless ethereal
2182s to kind of shake that off and like best
2184s off the nerves or whatever other turn of
2186s phrase We want to use there they got to
2188s get going warm up those phalanges folks
2191s yeah yeah yeah get the hand warmers do
2193s the the exercises that Jake taught you
2196s you know whatever you got to do altiora
2198s coming out here on the defense it's
2200s exactly what we expect Timeless ethereal
2203s looking maybe for that early Widow shot
2205s Armory sticking on the mercy a little
2207s damage boost you know Jim
2209s play the junkrat yeah I see Pro players
2212s complaining so much about junkrat right
2214s now oh he's broken his trap's too strong
2216s he just spams damage you don't even need
2219s to be accurate
2220s complaint that's been a day one issue
2223s yeah I mean have you have you ever heard
2225s of OverWatch it's developed by Blizzard
2227s Entertainment released May something
2229s 2016.
2231s get with the times people play some
2233s junkrat that's all I'm saying ah I love
2236s it
2236s uh so far though you know time was
2240s switching over to the uh mirror matchup
2242s no surprise coming through we saw that
2245s all through the Grand finals as well and
2247s it's I mean it's the strongest comp
2249s we've seen so far in OverWatch too
2251s there's a early pick first pick actually
2254s of course by zenzook on to Jim that's
2257s gonna put Timeless here on the back foot
2259s but they do have this spawn Advantage so
2261s resetting and regrouping is definitely
2263s in the game for them
2265s right and you see off you are here you
2267s know like do we push the advantage how
2269s much do we want to lock up what there's
2271s that that delicate Dynamic of pushing
2274s but not overextending even with a pick
2277s because right with the spawn Advantage
2278s it's not as big a deal as it is in other
2280s parts of this map so still playing very
2282s cautious to playing a great neutral game
2285s um and not much progress made from a
2287s point obviously as we hit our first
2288s minute
2290s ooh and there can be a fine line between
2292s uh you know over being aggressive and
2296s over extending and it can turn on a dime
2299s as a result Timeless here getting
2301s aggressive but they're gonna have to
2303s play right into mayman's Kitsune rush
2305s there's a pick onto Azure and now it is
2308s all altiora Nimbus continuing to Corral
2310s Timeless ethereal back to spawn
2314s yeah I mean just another strong start to
2317s that fight not really giving how
2319s necessarily the chance to get things
2321s moving in a meaningful way on King's Row
2323s especially you need a pretty decisive
2325s fight to take this first point there's
2327s always the chance at a little run back
2329s you know you really need to use
2332s ready to lock it all the way down almost
2334s like TCT back but thankfully not nearly
2337s as bad John Berry are here for Timeless
2340s ethereal as they continue to push and
2342s engage and now we see Santana has gotten
2344s really aggressive in the back line of
2346s alteora nimbus no worries Primal Rage is
2349s online and he decides to opt back to
2351s regroup gotta make sure you're here and
2353s well lures the members of altior into
2356s the death Blossom Jam goes down as a
2358s result and it's gonna be altior
2361s continuing to take down the members of
2363s timeless
2364s so I mean a great play I think from
2366s Santana as the Primal comes out I like
2368s the extension into the streets but I
2371s didn't buy quite enough space quite
2372s enough time as also start to kind of
2375s bring this back that was a beautiful
2377s season by mayman but uh you know in the
2379s end it's still going to be tough here
2381s for Timeless to push forward they lost
2384s Santana late in that but azer is hunting
2387s and take down kuropia as a result they
2390s do go down in the end but you know
2392s they're still 118 on the clock
2395s so Scrappy so back and forth this is
2397s where the spawn Advantage starts to come
2399s into play because Timeless ethereal do
2402s have it just slightly so they get that
2404s second tick maybe coming in for a week
2407s yeah engage with Kitsune here just to
2410s stall but karopi does go down first in
2413s this fight the payload and well the
2415s payload is captured the point has been
2417s lost and well regardless of alteora
2420s actually winning the fight they did lose
2422s the cart
2424s yeah I mean they they started winning
2426s after they had lost you know that's
2428s that's that's really the the one-liner
2430s for this one right they they come in
2432s they immediately lose kuropi despite
2434s dropping uh the Kitsune Rush there the
2436s point is captured and then they decide
2438s oh we'll get a picture
2440s you know easier said than done right in
2442s Timeless ethereal well executed on their
2444s push there I mean great extensions into
2446s the streets to really push the point
2448s really by yourself some space and then
2450s getting back onto the point and
2451s defending from that position where they
2453s were initially trying to attack right uh
2456s really gave them the topography to make
2458s it happen now another continuation from
2460s armor and that is a nice use of the
2463s Kitsune to help Timeless break through
2465s that Archway that is a really tough
2467s choke point to sometimes get stuck at
2469s when you're running back from your spawn
2471s and now they have all of this space to
2474s roll the cart through during the streets
2475s absolutely and I think as well the
2478s Synergy between that kasuni rush and
2480s Santana and Sam's initiations has been
2483s really really strong this antenna's
2484s taking so much space off of that jumping
2487s all the way in and really being pushing
2488s pushing pushing and creating some huge
2490s space for uh Primal Superior music you
2495s see death blossoms online as well and
2497s well it's pretty much just a matter of
2499s time before where they see who is the
2501s unfortunate victim of the damage
2504s Timeless looking to continue engaging
2506s for it and jam has the sound barrier
2508s that could be exactly what Jim needs to
2510s continue instigating and sustaining
2512s through the damage there's the combo
2514s right there even though they're pushing
2516s into mayman's Kitsune Rush it's still
2519s Timeless coming through with all of the
2521s kills fibble
2523s D
2524s and it feels like we're back in 2017
2527s with this meta sometimes I'll tell you
2529s what it's uh as mentioned right so many
2531s ultimates coming online there it was a
2533s lot of who's going to press their cue
2534s better who's going to get some picks in
2536s the neutral between all the chaos and
2538s Timeless ethereal again being very
2540s patient stepping forward with the sound
2542s barrier that was kind of the trade-off
2543s they made kuroku still has theirs but
2546s Jan's stepping forward with that gave
2548s them the extra beef now though yeah also
2550s remember stepping up early punishing and
2552s overextension here Consignment uh yeah
2555s and a big collapse onto Santana forcing
2558s out the Primal Rage as a result and now
2561s we can see that Timeless is still
2562s continuing to try and finish this cart
2565s they did lose a couple people they're
2567s taking a little bit more of a reserved
2569s approach right Azure looking to charge
2571s up the railgun and pepper them down
2573s Timeless here wants to cap this point
2576s Bibble there's only 215 left on the
2578s clock and that is not a horde of time to
2580s work with they definitely want to be
2581s mindful sound barrier pop by Nimbus now
2584s going to make it tough for Timeless to
2586s push into and continue fighting this
2588s battle and taking the space they want
2590s steady is so low burned down even in
2593s Primal Rage and now Timeless is still
2595s going to try and push this cart oh this
2598s is trouble do they see zenzook here on
2601s the side with the overclock you can't
2603s hit his shot still this is absolutely
2605s disastrous you want to put so much more
2607s damage down but a stall was successful
2610s enough to give Esso the death Blossom
2613s civil what a great job by these DPS to
2617s hold the point and now the clock's only
2618s at 1 30. yeah I mean that that whole
2621s overclock right did not necessarily get
2623s the value that we wanted looking at that
2624s from the flank but it also was so
2626s distracting that it gave essel the
2628s chance to just drop them 16 and a half
2630s feet through an announcers table at Hell
2632s himself so now all to your Nimbus really
2634s re-establishing themselves kind of
2636s understanding like the different way
2638s that Timeless material was playing
2640s because they are they are absolutely
2641s shifting their style to a much faster
2643s more aggressive play which works for
2645s this meta but altiora are starting to
2648s get wide wow that is a beautiful opening
2651s shot that is a huge disadvantage for
2654s altiora Nimbus and now Timeless
2655s continues to get aggressive I love the
2658s additional jump there from Santana
2660s azenza gets taken down as a result and
2662s now it's gonna be all about handling the
2665s trickle of altiora nimbus out of either
2667s side of the spawn kibble and this is
2669s what I'm talking about with that
2670s shifting style right Santana just being
2672s at the spawn horse not afraid to push up
2674s not afraid to use his resources he's
2676s getting support from his team
2678s death Lawson AI gym on the middle of the
2681s point gets booped around a bit but still
2684s it is all Timeless ethereal in this kill
2687s feed Santana absolutely shredding
2689s members of nimbus with the Primal Rage
2692s repeatedly civil that was not the only
2694s time we saw that play come through yeah
2698s I mean it's Santana's World we're just
2699s living in it right now you know like so
2702s many of those fights right were enabled
2705s by
2706s oh God there's a Winston directly in our
2709s face we really can't look at the rest of
2711s the team right now oh God the rest of
2712s the team is still doing stuff though
2714s uh-oh we just lost that fight like three
2718s or four of the most important engages
2720s from Timeless ethereal came from that
2723s Dynamic came from Santana playing
2725s absolutely pedal to the metal and in
2727s this meta that's that's kind of the
2729s order of the day you cannot play scared
2730s you cannot play on the back foot you
2733s need to be playing your game as we've
2735s discussed so this is really the switch
2738s that we needed to see them flip yeah
2740s sure you've only got 22 seconds in the
2742s time base but finishing Kings Row at all
2744s is still a feather of a cap totally wow
2747s Ultra nimbus
2748s the gauntlet's been thrown you know if
2750s you want to finish this on this map we
2753s better show up because they they were
2756s starting to play on the back foot a
2757s little bit they were getting wise they
2759s were getting their picks here and there
2760s but it was not enough so this is their
2762s opportunity that okay okay bring it back
2765s hang on everybody we're still pretty
2768s good at this game let's do something
2769s with this so study there study there
2772s whoa whoa whoa Mama whoa easy there
2775s besties yeah yeah this is this is
2778s everyone's favorite horse girl movie
2780s coming to life in real time in OverWatch
2782s you're welcome folks
2784s uh we're not no one's surprised by the
2787s mirror comps we see a rolled out here
2790s against engagement around the statue and
2792s well we're gonna see who actually gets
2794s picked off first last time it was from a
2796s railgun this time is it gonna be from
2798s one of these tanks just engaging pretty
2800s much in the heart of each other's teams
2803s they're constantly trying to circle
2804s around and well of course it's a railgun
2807s shock the boat this is a sojourn meta
2810s and at 19 Health zenzook gets really low
2813s gets taken down by jam on the aggressive
2816s Chase and I gotta say Moxie and Dustin
2819s were right yesterday the lucios are
2821s having the times of their life in this
2823s in this meta yeah I mean any Lucio meta
2827s where your job is go go go get in there
2830s we're gonna have some fun with it I'm
2832s terribian Jam sometimes perhaps to their
2835s detriment greatly enjoy that style of
2838s play here as Santana again stepping up
2840s still not afraid to try and reconfest
2843s this one that's a good Susie rolling
2845s through here from our Amore and now the
2848s point almost has two ticks in favor of
2849s nimbus Timeless goes ahead steps on to
2852s defend and hold this point casino is
2855s going to get thrown as soon as it's
2856s ready and that is going to significantly
2858s help Timeless continue to push Nimbus
2861s back they committed the sound barrier on
2863s top of it and with both support ultimate
2866s stack I gotta say Nimbus might be happy
2869s with that fight honestly yeah so
2871s expensive in terms of the support of his
2874s ultimates there for Timeless ethereal
2876s mayman instead only opts to pop the
2879s consuming rush or I guess Altura as a
2880s team instead only opt to pop that kuropy
2883s now coming online though with their own
2885s sound barrier and that is going to be
2886s the key advantage in this next fight how
2890s can you use that to create some space
2891s for yourself here they go sound barrier
2893s is used from Nimbus because this Zuzu
2895s was forced out early Esso gets the first
2897s kill onto their counterpart as Jim and
2900s continues to fill the kill feed I love
2903s how aggressive they're getting and there
2905s are no no one shouldn't be escaping okay
2907s good push here they're gonna cap this
2909s point and easily take this facing level
2912s they want to hold before the archway no
2914s one wants to get stuck trying to funnel
2916s through this Archway it's not a good
2917s time right yeah but altiora have set
2919s themselves up so well here very
2921s disciplined with their ultimates they
2922s knew they were only going to need that
2924s sound barrier again acting with that
2926s confidence that you need and now they
2928s have all their toys to play with to hold
2929s this choked one but on this ethereal
2931s stepping up and using some of their own
2933s tools saying no man we don't want to get
2935s caught here anymore
2937s I want to give props over to Timeless
2939s ethereal for I mean being able to focus
2942s fire down steady when they're Primal
2945s raging that is absolutely insane how
2947s quickly they are dropping to low health
2949s and forced to return and Retreat to
2951s their supports and this is almost a
2954s whole different team than what we saw on
2956s our first map
2957s right yeah I mean we talk about Santana
2959s stepping up we're talking about Azure
2960s right here hitting those shots in this
2961s last couple fights really making the
2963s difference like you said I mean in a
2965s sojourn meta it is are you gonna hit
2967s your shots
2973s a lot of pressure on the DPS kitsuna
2976s used right up there on The High Ground
2978s by me man and now all tours continuing
2981s to try and push this payload it is an
2983s absolute chaotic battle and they have
2985s not been able to move this cart very
2987s much they are still continuing to
2989s pressure and push Timeless back but it
2992s is
2993s it is gonna be tough yeah I think
2997s looking looking at a fight like that
2999s that's taking place behind the first
3002s point after it's been captured that's
3004s generally speaking to okay we've got the
3006s download we know what we got to do we
3008s have consistently won this fight and now
3010s immediately they take that point they
3011s throw kuroki on the cart say dude don't
3013s go tweeting on this right now and just
3015s step up take the space setting up here
3017s on this corner just sitting steady
3019s sitting pretty waiting I like this move
3023s from them as well don't need to
3025s overextend let them come forward let
3026s them use their questions and stuff let's
3028s just get out of here you've got the time
3030s yeah confident that we can do this
3033s looking for uh the cureco they're not
3036s around the corner and you're right this
3038s is a beautiful Retreat coming through
3041s from alter your Nimbus you don't need to
3042s engage when they've committed such uh
3045s valuable resources like the Kitsune zip
3048s goes ahead uses the overclock and now is
3051s hunting for the kills throwing in the
3053s damage into Santana who's gone ahead use
3056s that Primal grave studies use their
3058s Primal Rage as well and once again they
3060s get mowed down in the process of it so
3063s much damage being output by Timeless
3066s ethereal to take down a primal raging
3068s Winston symbol and honestly it is tough
3071s for them they almost have that fight win
3073s there but Timeless seems to really feel
3076s strong and seems to be adapting to this
3078s play style
3080s yeah it's it's the closest it's been so
3082s far in terms of fight wins right both
3084s teams are really taking the hits and
3087s dishing them out in equal measure
3088s altiora though coming online with an old
3090s Advantage here right I must Imperial
3092s really had to burn every candle to make
3095s that fight happen and they are holding
3097s decently well there's not a ton of
3099s progress being made but altiora have a
3101s big opportunity here with that katsuni
3102s rush and that death loss to really crack
3104s this thing open
3107s being used to instigate this fight and
3111s Esso gets taken down in the middle of a
3114s death Blossom that is an unfortunate
3116s result with so much damage taken off the
3118s table pretty much stopped alteonimbus in
3121s their tracks and now Timeless is here
3124s with a 45 second time bake looking to
3127s hold before the second checkpoint
3129s uh on Nepal right we were talking about
3131s the Timeless ethereal just needs that
3133s clutch factor to stay in these fights
3134s they need to get those picks they need
3136s to hit those shots that clutch factor is
3138s here and their name is azure because
3140s goodness gracious like that is just the
3143s play that you meet you're coming in with
3145s an old disadvantage with a positional
3147s disadvantage and you're just you just
3149s keep getting the picks that is exactly
3152s what they need I mean we're 15 seconds
3154s away from a tight series
3155s and alfiora here on the back foot
3158s Timeless aggressive and well we talked
3161s about not wanting to get stuck in that
3162s Archway and that is unfortunately what's
3164s happened to Alton Bay man's already out
3167s of the picture and it's just essel here
3169s trying to stall and touch the point
3171s staying out of sight of azure's rail gun
3173s does manage to outlive just long enough
3176s but there's so many people around on
3178s Timeless ethereal that is only a matter
3180s of time before they handle everyone
3182s trickling on that's gonna be timeless
3184s ethereal tying up the series
3187s and I mean we talked about this one
3189s being close we talked about this being
3191s number three versus number four and how
3193s it needed to show us what these teams
3195s could do we're seeing them we're seeing
3197s the clutch Factor come out we're seeing
3199s the old discipline come into play we saw
3201s if you were looking there in that last
3203s fight there were a lot of pains onto
3205s that like upper flank window here at
3207s this corner because they knew someone
3209s was going to come in and try it and as
3212s if On Cue Jim walked forward and or
3215s ready excuse me ESL watch forward color
3217s switches and Azure was ready Azure was
3221s there had the ultimate waiting and said
3223s yeah you're gonna go hide behind the
3225s cart I'm gonna stare at you and we're
3227s gonna just see what happens here you
3229s know I they were acting with such
3232s confidence and with such a plan clearly
3235s in place and that is exactly the
3237s development and the the evolution over
3239s the course of a series that you need to
3241s see for a top team to stay a top team
3244s agreed with you there and you know we're
3247s talking uh behind the scenes during our
3249s first break that we were a bit surprised
3252s about timeless's performance on our
3255s first map of Nepal we know these players
3258s and they're quick you know they're
3260s typically quite Powerhouse performers
3262s and uh you know this adoption that we've
3265s seen come through here on this second
3267s map really goes to show you that is what
3270s they bring to the table now first to two
3273s one mat one round to calibrate that
3276s definitely puts the pressure on
3277s especially for their fans out there but
3280s nonetheless the one-to-one score
3282s definitely shows that there is some
3284s adaptation and growth coming through and
3287s I gotta say I wonder if if Timeless will
3291s be able to handle nimbus's map choice
3293s pick on X escort next uh folks will have
3297s to see exactly how that unfolds so top
3299s off your water and we'll be back

3487s and welcome back to the calling all
3490s heroes Challengers cup 2. we are at our
3494s match point of the series and Sybil it's
3496s tied up between Timeless ethereal and
3499s altiora nimbus and that's really been
3501s the story of the day so far right we're
3503s seeing a dominant first map coming
3505s through from alter our Nimbus and we go
3507s oh man Timeless better get it together
3510s they don't have a lot of space here to
3511s make that happen
3513s um and then lo and behold on King's Row
3515s they step up they play an entirely
3517s different more aggressive more Salient
3519s sort of style
3521s um much like elon's lines of code and
3524s now we're thank you thank you we're
3526s heading over to escort now uh tons of
3529s options here looking at these three
3531s we've got a great pool the more I look
3533s at it circuit Royal has so many
3536s opportunities for hitscan play for some
3539s Sigma like a little break away from The
3540s Meta though lately that has been
3543s happening too much
3544s um and then of course Dorado in Route 66
3546s are are these long time bastions of
3550s excellent play you know crazy
3551s opportunities for aggression or uh more
3555s tempered Styles in equal measure and
3557s altiora pick Dorado so we are heading
3561s over to Mexico to finish out this series
3563s I like the options here that that kind
3566s of affords them they have the time and
3569s the space to
3570s maybe recover from the Haymaker that
3573s they just got try and send one fourth of
3577s their own yeah um because I I think like
3580s if you're all Tiora Nimbus right and you
3582s go into Nepal and it's like
3584s pretty easy going you're like great okay
3587s cool we're gonna maintain this momentum
3589s we're gonna keep playing forward we're
3590s going to keep
3591s be in those people and then you come
3594s into King's Row and it's like whoa wait
3595s hey hang on yeah so like this is the
3599s chance now for them to be like can we
3601s get back to you know as I was saying
3603s earlier per my last email
3605s and then on the other side Timeless
3608s ethereal are like whoa yeah okay oh the
3611s juice is Flowing now we're starting to
3612s get the download we're starting to
3614s figure out how we want to do this let's
3615s do that again please they had their
3618s retrospective yeah they've already
3621s gotten to the point where like yeah
3623s we're done looking back we figured it
3624s out we're moving come with us or not so
3628s they they really want to maintain that
3630s speed maintain that ferocity of play and
3633s we see here on the defense a little
3634s wrinkle coming out we've got Jim on the
3636s echo here okay I dig it it's different
3640s I like it with this map I think the
3643s levels would help and there's a lot of
3644s good cover opportunities where you don't
3646s have to just uh you know float out in
3649s the open vulnerable I do think uh that's
3652s a big risk to run into zenzuk though on
3655s the soldier those railgun shots are on a
3658s point and
3659s they've already taken out Azure early in
3662s this fight civil that's gonna be smooth
3664s sailing for altior to just go ahead and
3667s continue well maybe not as smooth as I
3669s thought with essel going down and Jim
3671s just continuing to slay the lines of
3674s alteora Timeless actually gonna be able
3677s to turn this fight and hold the point
3678s yeah I mean is it a Caster curse if what
3681s you say is right is it a question
3683s blessing I don't even know you got the
3685s Mojo the Caster Caster prophecy yeah
3688s yeah there we go Apollo with a gift of
3690s prophecies
3692s um yeah Jim stepping up in a big way
3694s keeping essel down I mean the the
3696s focusing theme especially is such a
3697s great counter and again Timeless
3699s ethereal are maintaining that aggressive
3702s style like I said they've got to keep
3704s the gas going and right now they are
3706s having no problems with that they are
3708s hitting their shots they're doing what
3709s they got to do in altiora you can see
3711s you know slm against you here trying to
3713s make something hard I think against this
3714s composition it's not the answer and yeah
3716s he swaps over to the reaper so they want
3718s to focus on the front line rather than
3721s trying to deal with Jim on the echo yeah
3723s let's just kind of keep the brawl style
3725s going
3726s and uh you know formal apology to Jim on
3729s my behalf for doubting the echo uh
3732s obviously I've been put in my place and
3734s you've been doing fantastic so far in
3737s the round uh so far out you are
3739s continuing to try and push take the high
3741s ground and create more space for
3743s themselves to actually push the payload
3745s they've encircled Timeless ethereal
3747s trying to continue putting this pressure
3749s on but with kitsune's pop actually from
3752s both directions it's really going to be
3754s about who can capitalize on the Boost
3756s provided of course Jim is there in the
3759s kill feed main man gets fun in the
3761s process but is it going to be enough to
3763s allow altior to actually gain space here
3766s on this payload
3768s it's starting to look like it I mean
3770s shout out to me man though I just want
3772s to say because that was like pure blood
3774s thirst of like I don't care what you are
3777s I'm gonna double headshot you and
3779s nothing survives that and I love that
3781s because that is such an important part
3783s that we're maybe we may be overlooked or
3786s at least me down in Platte you know I
3787s can't play anything I'm not that high of
3789s it
3790s like but that's such an important thing
3792s that this isn't just like a stand back
3794s and heal like the kiriko can create some
3797s amazing openings and right now that's
3798s exactly what you need Jim's swapping to
3800s the curriculum himself yeah I mean
3803s that's the opening they're looking for
3804s Azure almost going down but look at
3807s those support resources just being
3809s pumped into them keeping them topped off
3811s we also had essel switch over to that
3814s Tracer and uh well pulse bomb is slowly
3817s approaching but it's providing a bit
3819s more pepper damage and forcing Timeless
3822s to look just one more Direction
3825s right yeah I would almost expect like I
3827s think the Tracer is a good pick and I
3828s think SL is capable of playing these
3830s Heroes just looking at the team sheets
3832s and everything it's just like I would
3833s almost expect more of like a soldier or
3835s a Cassidy or you just do that what on
3837s Earth
3838s there is zenzuk just absolutely popping
3842s off on the sojourn hitting a flow State
3844s while in overclock and now steady is
3847s here trying to continue to capitalize on
3849s the damage Altier and Nimbus do have the
3852s Amana advantage and now they just need
3854s to continue pressuring ethereal back
3856s they need to push this cart through the
3858s choke point and there it is they've made
3860s it through that critical Archway and now
3862s it's all about pushing putting the
3864s pressure on to cap this first point I
3867s mean so you get the first point
3868s absolutely but look at the time being
3870s here under three minutes for first I
3872s mean they were they were at about 20
3873s seconds left in the game you know like
3876s that was obviously a very successful
3878s effort from Timeless ethereal like that
3881s worked which is weird because the
3884s medicine is kind of where it's at right
3886s now it's in a very set State and I mean
3889s you heard me yell about junkrat I am all
3891s for breaking that up a little bit oh
3893s yeah but for that to actually be as
3895s effective as it was I mean hats off
3897s right like that was fantastic and now
3899s though they're still going to try to
3900s make this work
3902s and that's a nice pick there on to
3904s steady early in this fight alteor is
3907s already pretty
3908s spite after losing their take a nice
3910s pulse bomb attempt comes through essel
3913s doesn't quite make it through that
3915s aggression though and uh well altior is
3918s still going to try and push this payload
3920s but oh that's a DC there on Timeless we
3923s are missing our kiriko there on that
3926s side uh so I suspect that we will
3928s encounter a game pause here momentarily
3930s folks
3939s we'll uh run with it here until we see
3941s otherwise alteora do have a lot of
3944s ultimates online including both support
3946s ultimates and uh oh there's our Amore
3949s back in the game here and oh they are
3952s back with zero percent Old Chart there
3954s there's the pause there we go okay I
3957s wonder if we're going to attempt to
3959s maybe bring it back to where that
3961s ultimate was somehow if it can be
3962s reverted or shifted back in that way or
3965s if we're just gonna figure out uh do
3967s some deliberations about what that
3969s little DC means I mean Jim had just got
3971s in a pick before that pause came through
3973s yeah you know it's like I don't need a
3975s curaca to right click somebody to death
3977s I'm doing fine I'm Jim so I mean not not
3981s the worst state right that DC didn't
3983s immediately cost them a fight or
3985s anything crazy but of course in the
3987s interest of Integrity I'm sure they're
3988s they're figuring out right now what to
3990s do right a particular scenario right
3993s well and of course you know when you are
3994s disconnected and you lose all of your
3997s old charge as a result it's uh you know
4000s we've talked about this in broadcasting
4002s as casters right it's a marathon not a
4004s Sprint and there's a lot of
4007s opportunities big and small throughout
4009s the entire game that could have changed
4011s the tide or set you momentum wise in a
4014s different direction or maybe given you
4016s that extra Edge or advantage that would
4019s have you know helped you win and yeah
4021s you know there's that end of game clutch
4023s moment opportunities but sometimes they
4025s also unfold in the body of the match
4027s like we're seeing here so you know it's
4030s really tough to see a team like Timeless
4033s Eternal or ethereal sorry Timeless
4035s ethereal
4038s um lose aramori who you know is super
4041s critical to their team
4043s um she is their in-game leader as well
4045s so I'm wondering if there were also
4048s comms dropped on top of being
4050s disconnected because right that's
4052s another that could have been the reason
4054s for not the immediate pause right
4057s precisely if you get dc'd and lose voice
4060s connectivity you can't go hey guys idc'd
4062s right so and In the Heat of the Moment
4065s in an official you know you're maybe not
4067s pressing you know spam pressing tab you
4069s know you're focused on the flight
4071s tracking you're all you're tracking
4072s ultimates and cooldowns and player
4076s locations both friendly and enemy you
4079s can't track to say see if people are
4081s actually still in the Discord call or
4083s not there's yeah maybe a little maybe a
4086s little bit busy right I get it it's
4088s definitely unique to Esports too because
4090s you know
4091s [Laughter]
4093s you know right away when someone's hurt
4095s or you know Tom Brady has disconnected
4098s he just disappeared where did Tom Brady
4101s go right uh he his wife I went down
4105s that's not how this works we just uh
4108s green screened him out on that yeah we
4110s are we are at Gillette Stadium we are in
4112s a physical location how does that work
4114s ah indeed still working on getting this
4117s figured out folks totally yeah
4119s oh it looks like we will be back uh you
4121s know relatively quickly we like we said
4124s we don't know exactly what the status of
4127s the game will be or the ultimate but
4131s right
4135s well though so regardless hopefully this
4138s doesn't shake their you know mental
4140s focus and fortitude and really if they
4144s can triumph over something like this
4146s that just pretty much jumps you you're
4149s not ready completely in the middle In
4151s the Heat of a fight and In the Heat of
4152s the match
4154s right that is a team that is destined
4156s for the top
4157s yeah yeah I mean and we we've seen
4159s moments like that across you know here
4163s and there in tier two and even above
4166s um the OverWatch league has had its
4168s sheriff on DC's uh that have surely
4170s boomed the mental of many a pro
4173s yes I I'm still not recovered from the
4175s unco pause
4177s I'm very fortunate I was that was an era
4180s in which I was always at blizzard Arena
4182s and that was just the one day that I
4184s happened not to go and all my friends
4186s that were there were like you are not
4188s missing
4189s any thing and I said neat cool good to
4194s know uh so yeah I mean like you said
4196s right if right now as they're they're
4199s sorting out this pause and hopefully
4200s getting us back in the game pretty soon
4202s um this is a moment for both teams to
4205s take stock uh kind of figure out where
4208s you're at where you want to be what to
4210s do especially with our Amore coming back
4212s online if that ultimate is not restored
4214s to admittedly whatever percentage it was
4217s I didn't catch that
4218s um but I mean a Kitsune Rush is so key
4221s right now it's kind of one of your
4223s primary engagement tools and and losing
4226s that is uh big we could say that's big
4229s oh you know definitely well in the suzu
4232s has been critical to I mean the team
4235s compositions in OverWatch 2 in general
4237s how early the suzu is forced out and you
4242s know afterwards what the team does to
4244s capitalize now that that that huge
4247s immortality moment is no longer on the
4249s table to bail them out has been critical
4252s so you know I'm hoping the best here for
4255s timeless it looks like uh there's still
4258s Milling around on a decision on exactly
4260s how we want to move forward with the
4262s game and honestly consider during the
4266s fact that both of these teams are highly
4268s competitive they've been around the
4270s scene and many of their players have
4271s been around the scene for quite a while
4273s it's not an easy decision everyone here
4276s wants to play good games and no one
4278s wants to win like you know on a
4280s especially in a way like that right yeah
4283s especially considering for
4286s um goodness gracious for alteora right
4288s you're coming out you you've you're
4292s struggling as it is kind of dealing with
4294s you know how this Series has has gone
4297s maybe or trying to figure out how to
4299s like really get back onto your best foot
4301s and show us what you can do
4303s um they were starting to struggle a bit
4305s against the pocket pick from Jim you
4307s know that Echo was putting in work and
4309s then you know if your time was ethereal
4310s like do you want to like fully redo this
4314s map when kind of your secret Strat was
4317s the linchpin right around which you were
4319s being successful and maybe they maybe
4322s they pull that out again and Jim just
4324s keeps pounding right yeah right he's
4328s dead also yeah right exactly yeah if Jim
4331s can just like I don't care if we remake
4333s it I'm still going to destroy them on
4334s the echo power to you but if you turn
4337s around and remake this this map and
4340s altiora says well we know there's an
4342s echo they have the opportunity to
4345s re-strategize reformulate their battle
4347s plan and that is definitely an advantage
4350s of sorts to to consider so this is not
4353s an easy sort of deliberation to be
4355s making when you're when you're looking
4357s at a scenario like this at all so that's
4359s why this is probably taking a second
4360s because there's a lot of back and forth
4362s to be had on yeah do we just keep going
4364s do we remake this somehow you know do we
4367s try and get it back to the exact state
4369s but it's never going to be exactly the
4371s same right how do we do this right like
4373s that's tricky it's a tricky question
4374s don't worry folks we're not uh holding
4377s you hostage here on the mic and in this
4380s Caster scene away from the game we are
4382s trying to get back to it as quick as we
4383s can but I you know I got
4393s I'm not reading twitch chat I just know
4395s it's there I I hear you guys I'll hit
4398s the button one of these days we want to
4401s trust me
4403s the pastor had their way right I am
4407s curious though you know Timeless
4409s ethereal has some players who have been
4411s together for quite some time they all
4413s played on Mochi together and they've
4416s played you know on Mochi together
4418s repeatedly as well and uh well alter
4421s Nimbus really only comes together for
4425s the calling all heroes tournament
4427s um I was talking to the founder uh firen
4431s and they were letting me know that
4434s typically the altiora Nimbus team
4436s actually competes on other OverWatch
4438s path to pro teams during the season and
4441s this is one of their more unique
4443s opportunities to really unify themselves
4446s and come together as one in instead so
4449s you know uh maybe that's kind of what
4451s we're seeing here for our second map and
4453s a little for the second map and a little
4455s bit of the struggles and less
4457s familiarity than what we see coming
4459s through from Timeless but they captured
4463s that La that first point on Dorado and
4466s their time bank was starting to look
4468s pretty good as they rolled to the second
4470s checkpoint so I think that they're
4472s starting to find their groove a bit more
4474s but you were talking about Jim earlier
4477s on that Echo and maybe the the surprises
4481s ruined and you know they're going to be
4483s able to combat it right away
4485s but
4486s if you can be so good at Echo that no
4490s one's going to take you down regardless
4491s and yeah you can you can play the
4494s counter all you want they're gonna hit
4495s those shots hit those stickies and their
4498s teammates are there supporting them you
4501s don't have a chance and the way Jim was
4503s playing in my opinion was really a
4506s master class around some of those
4507s elements and they're getting the backup
4509s they needed to be that aggressive I'm
4512s not sure that whether or not you're
4514s surprised if you're going to be able to
4517s be ready for gym in their flow state
4520s currently
4522s yeah right I mean there there's the two
4524s elements that I look at a lot when
4527s looking at teams are Synergy and
4529s confidence Synergy obviously comes
4531s through from from time played together
4533s your scrims your quality of scrims
4535s quality of coaching and just general
4537s team chemistry right like how does
4540s everybody get along how does everybody
4541s work together on the stage things like
4543s that and then confidence can often
4545s either supplement or overcome perhaps
4548s some some dips in that right you know if
4551s you're maybe struggling to like get your
4553s set plays down or whatever but yo Jim
4555s just hits the shots
4557s can our Strat just be Jim go kill
4559s and we're kind of seeing a little bit of
4561s that here on Dorado right this is this
4563s is kind of a a Jim go kill
4565s um
4566s anything unique outside of the
4569s traditional Sports scene either right
4571s you've got a Powerhouse of a of a
4573s shooter and what do you do you continue
4576s to support them on those Endeavors
4578s because it's enabling your whole team to
4580s win and you know when you got the goods
4584s you you might as well use them right
4587s baby when you got the shot man you say
4589s shot man hit your shots
4591s so yeah uh you know I think uh proper is
4595s a great example of that
4597s proper proper go kill my favorite sign
4600s at Grand finals just said proper Goku oh
4603s yeah well as a San Francisco shocks fan
4605s I was uh it's a tough Grand finals yeah
4609s well at least it was a good game yes
4611s absolutely in any case folks we're we're
4614s taking some time to deliberate as
4615s mentioned we are figuring out exactly
4617s the solution that we want that the teams
4619s and players will both be happy with
4622s um as we have thoroughly gotten into the
4624s blabber stage of a cast we're gonna take
4626s a little second here just to let
4627s everybody breathe and figure things out
4629s and we will come back as soon as we have
4631s made a deliberation and gotten back in
4632s the game so thanks

4854s hello everyone I'm sure you missed us
4857s after all the ramblings you just heard
4859s didn't you oh I'm sure either way but
4862s Sybil we're about to move over to our uh
4865s swell I guess it's the same escort map
4868s but I well same escort round new map in
4871s the mix though after the disconnect we
4874s had we're going to be moving over to
4875s Circuit Royale to kick us off and
4878s refresh the competition
4881s yeah I mean I I think just we didn't
4883s hear any of the deliberations
4884s specifically but I'm I'm sure just in
4886s the interests of competitive integrity
4888s and everything seeing strats come out
4891s you know it was probably better in the
4893s eyes of the teams to start fresh
4895s somewhere else rather than go on Dorado
4898s again and try and do the exact same
4900s thing but maybe different
4902s um so yeah circuit Royale is the fresh
4904s slate for everyone it's I suppose the
4907s fair solution to go into here
4910s um and circuit Royale I mean I was
4912s talking about it before we knew what map
4913s we were going to before Dorado even like
4916s it's still a great spot for some
4918s opportunistic Flex picks for a little
4920s cheeky Echo for some double sniper
4922s situations like there are lots of
4925s options that we've seen at all levels of
4926s play on this map as people frankly are
4929s still kind of figuring it out right it's
4931s a new map it has lots of layers to it
4933s the further in you go the more
4935s opportunities for tomfoolery and
4937s shenanigans
4939s um so I'm still excited to see what
4941s happens here because we've had a great
4943s series on our hands we have these two
4944s teams really trading blows in a
4947s fantastic way yeah and this I suppose
4949s will be the culmination of all the chaos
4951s that we've seen in the past however long
4953s right uh we uh let's see we're
4956s encroaching on an hour 10 minutes here
4958s folks for our first match up and uh well
4962s you know the last hybrid was just a
4964s practice Run for the teams you know
4966s feeling each other out and on circuit
4969s Royale you're right there are a lot more
4971s opportunities for the shenanigans to
4974s change up our you know standard team
4976s comp we see with the Winston and the
4979s sojourn and the reaper I really hope we
4981s do see those double snipers roll through
4983s or any of this at least a couple or one
4986s of the snipers roll through because
4988s defending that second checkpoint right
4991s over the BR the the ramp before you get
4994s there it is a beautiful spot to watch
4996s people continue to just pick off anyone
4999s approaching and and I mean I would love
5003s to see the sojourns and widowmakers just
5006s fly free and pop off left and right I
5010s just want them to have a nice pasture to
5012s run around in or they don't have to
5014s worry about with no crosswind and no
5016s pressure and where San tsuk can just hit
5019s head shots from across the map as much
5021s as they want you know
5024s yeah yeah like I just want to go chill
5027s you know pop some heads off do my thing
5031s and we see us are coming out here
5033s altiora starting on the defense already
5035s okay getting a little spicy with it this
5038s is kind of you know we talk about a
5040s wrinkle but this is also kind of the
5041s thing that we've started to expect on
5043s circuit Royale
5045s um at least at the OverWatch League
5046s level that I've been watching we see the
5048s sigma we see the double sniper because I
5051s I can't serve in this sniper God the
5054s shots these guys hit and then you've got
5055s me man over on the Zenyatta which sounds
5057s terrifying and peropi unfortunately
5061s parted from their deer frog in favor I
5064s mean he jumps like a frog so it's still
5066s a win we still got the Hops yeah yeah
5069s yeah yeah immediate jump forward from
5071s Timeless ethereal who are not running
5072s that composition are running a tracer
5075s here interestingly
5076s um and are really gonna have their work
5078s cut out for them avoiding the snipers
5080s because because that can happen
5083s that was just a beautiful shot and shut
5086s down there with alteora already having a
5088s man Advantage it's just time burned off
5090s the clock before I was already to get
5092s back or for Jim to get back right
5095s um and I mean some progress made
5096s certainly but this gets harder now
5098s because there's not much of a corner to
5100s hide behind and Azalea is just going to
5102s be doing his aliens
5105s that is the beautiful Widowmaker sniper
5109s shot waiting for the Lucio to hop up in
5111s the air and then just take them out as
5113s easily unfortunately gravity is gravity
5116s makes you predictable and that is
5118s exactly when the sojourns and the
5120s widowmakers look to capitalize
5122s and I will say I noticed as I was giving
5124s my Spiel that I said a different name
5126s that didn't sound familiar to me so I
5128s looked at the team Sheet real quick we
5130s have swapped essel for Azalea sorry for
5132s not noticing that kind of focused on the
5134s comp thing we had a disconnected right
5137s yeah I'm crazy yeah it's it's been we've
5140s been having some fun with it sorry about
5142s that Azalea online here for the
5144s Widowmaker specifically Jim coming in on
5146s the Genji here just trying to apply some
5148s pressure to this back line we've got
5149s double snipers you have a Zen Bap in the
5152s back like a Genji is kind of the answer
5154s to that unless you're just gonna roll
5155s your own sniper and for Timeless
5157s ethereal that does not seem to be the
5158s play they want to go fast
5165s he goes ahead continues to put the
5167s pressure on but Azalea's gone down as a
5170s result so far altior nib is trying to
5173s hold this defense but Timeless got the
5175s momentum continued to roll it on forward
5178s yeah and I think there was a little bit
5180s of a disconnect there between steady
5181s stepping forward popping the old trying
5182s to get something done and Timeless
5184s ethereal going oh that's an opening
5186s let's go for it and just run it doing I
5189s mean what has been bringing them success
5190s in this series so far right the thing
5192s that I've been saying that they keep
5193s needing to do as they cap this point
5196s um just running forward Santana taking
5198s the space making those openings happen
5201s Azure now on the Tracer getting some
5203s work done has a postpone online Jim
5205s approaching the Dragon Blade Jam
5207s approaching Jim and Jim
5209s approaching that sound barrier but on
5211s the other side although you're looking
5213s at four ultimates here pretty soon that
5215s Pokemon's gonna build quick you got
5216s whole supportives that Transcendence
5218s especially this morning clutch probably
5220s save him after the dragon plate
5221s obviously but that's a dynamic you've
5223s always had to pay attention pulse bomb
5225s thrown here into the back doesn't find
5227s anyone but still gonna be putting
5230s pressure on to altiora Nimbus ethereal
5232s moving forward here trying to continue
5234s farming up this Dragon Blade of four a
5237s gym who's just at 92 percent right on
5239s the cusp there's the pulse bomb there
5242s from Azalea not finding a kill
5243s themselves either are brought down low
5245s and taken down as a result now that
5248s Timeless is up by one they continue to
5250s get aggressive but me man goes ahead
5252s uses that Transcendence to save their
5254s team keep them in this fight Jam you
5256s sound barrier to stack on top of it and
5258s now Jim uses the dragonblade to continue
5261s fending off altiora nimbus that was such
5264s an interesting start to that fight
5266s especially because I'm super hot uh the
5269s overclock and immediately Timeless
5270s ethereal backs off which I think is the
5272s mood and then Azalea goes well they're
5274s just clustered in there I'm gonna go in
5276s and gets picked off so suddenly you're
5278s in this position of power initially or
5280s you have the ultimate you're forcing
5281s them to just kind of sit and then you
5283s over extend kind of push some problems
5285s for yourself and that's kind of cereal
5287s kind of just walking up for free Nimbus
5290s wants to hold the cart here just before
5292s the second checkpoint karaoke Falls very
5294s low and manages to save them itself
5296s there's still a lot of damage being
5298s thrown out here by Timeless ethereal but
5301s Nimbus trying to find the kills Santana
5304s gets two with a Primal Rage and once
5306s again has so much value from that
5309s ultimate it's not enough of your Nimbus
5312s managed to hold just before the second
5314s checkpoint and that is massive nibble I
5317s mean and that was just altiora playing
5318s very kind of spread apart and Timeless
5320s ethereal all going uh uh which way do we
5322s look hang on uh there's a lot going on
5324s particle effects so it it just got a
5327s little discombobulated for them there
5328s the Primal didn't get I mean it got a
5331s lot done right but it didn't fully
5333s winning that fight and you kind of
5334s needed it to because steady coming back
5336s online all his cooldowns and everything
5338s like you're gonna start to overwhelm
5340s them at that sort of Advantage
5344s run after another almost in the exact
5347s same spot but altiora Nimbus still going
5350s to hold this defensive point we can see
5352s zenzook here on this sojourn not
5355s receiving very much pressure they were
5357s able to just breathe fire into the back
5358s from the their own back line and
5361s Timeless is having a hard time pushing
5364s into this exact ramp part I mentioned
5366s earlier a very interesting swap here gym
5368s now on the sojourn not Azure because
5371s it's very slow on the Tracer right so
5373s and I think they realized as well like
5375s with a sojourn on the other side you
5377s kind of need the only response to a good
5380s sniper is your own good sniper but now
5382s Jim it's not a tall Order ahead of him
5385s because he's been playing lights out but
5387s this is maybe a step in the right
5388s direction Before Time message there's
5391s the Kitsune rolling through here from me
5392s man I'm trying to continue to allow Al
5394s Fiora to hold this second checkpoint
5397s defensively one minute left on the clock
5399s and Timeless punches it with the sound
5401s barrier from Jam they want to take this
5404s checkpoint and there is the gravitic
5406s flux from study trying to stall them out
5407s then Tana man just to survive even
5410s though they fall very very low and zenzo
5412s tear is hunting with the overclock
5414s trying to make hero plays there's still
5417s more people on the point but at the end
5419s of the day time was slowly getting those
5422s kills against alteor and Nimbus going to
5424s take this second checkpoint and uh well
5427s gonna refresh that time bank okay I'm
5430s gonna break this down for you because
5431s that whole fight was the aramore show
5433s that was the aramore special first off
5437s the cooldowns wading through the
5439s gravitic flux having the suzu ready for
5441s the fall that takes half of your
5443s existing HP Master Class waiting to be
5446s the later Kitsune rush so you have that
5449s Advantage longer in an extended bike
5450s Master classy to them we've got two
5454s kills to finish off the fight like that
5456s was spectacular from the back line there
5459s to really punch the ticket for Timeless
5460s material I had to point it out sorry it
5463s was great definitely one uh to go back
5465s and grab for the Highlight Reel at the
5468s minimum you said master class on knowing
5470s to save the suzu for when you fall for
5473s the gravitic flux but I also want to
5475s call out that you actually you have to
5477s time that ability on top of it when
5480s you're falling and that itself is its
5482s own Master Class perfectly executed by
5485s aramori there is 60 seconds left on the
5488s clock Nimbus manages to find their
5490s footing defensively and now Timeless
5493s pushing that last fight territory and I
5495s mean this is such a difficult center of
5498s the map to be pushing from right science
5500s work to set up on this High Ground you
5501s see Santana setting across right here at
5503s the top of the screen trying to figure
5505s out how to engage what angle is going to
5507s make this work of trying to avoid
5509s getting picked off Jim continuing to
5511s have their work cut out for them as I
5513s curse them horribly
5516s full spawn thrown there not finding a
5519s kill but it is going to chunk down a bit
5521s of damage there's aramori going ahead
5523s popping Kitsune once again and Mimi and
5526s Pops theirs with a sound barrier to
5528s layer on top of it since it goes ahead
5530s opens up with the kill onto Santana and
5532s now Nimbus has the man up Advantage they
5535s want to continue defending this point
5537s six seconds or eight seconds left on the
5539s clock it is looking like a tough go here
5542s for Timeless to push forward and with
5545s that Nimbus managing oh an overtime is
5548s triggered but it's still gonna be a
5550s trickle game coming too simple this is
5552s nice to see that there is a Santana here
5554s with the Primal Rage but it's really
5556s going to be a matter of time and Nimbus
5559s is going to be happy with this defensive
5560s fold here
5562s right yeah and I mean even for Timeless
5564s ethereal right getting this push is not
5566s bad it's not the end of the world school
5569s this is winnable you know the condition
5571s is set the line and the sand has been
5573s drawn as to who wins this series who is
5576s going to make it to that box or not
5579s um I think you know like we we saw some
5582s amazing hero plays right coming out from
5584s Timeless ethereal there to really punch
5585s their ticket past that second point and
5587s through the streets phase in general
5589s um but I I think kind of the big thing
5591s for me was seeing that Azure and Jim
5594s we're kind of forced to swap you know
5596s maybe Jim not as comfortable on the
5598s Tracer today just not really feeling it
5600s but Azure on the sojourn was doing so
5602s much work on King's Row and sansuk is
5605s happy to kind of free fire right right
5608s if there's not enough challenge to your
5610s sojourn your sojourn's gonna get some
5612s work done that's my favorite right yeah
5615s I mean hey if you're on the right side
5617s of that that fight that feels real good
5620s but if you're not
5621s feels real bad right there's there's
5623s your John Madden analysis for you you
5626s mentioned earlier you're like oh the
5627s best thing to combat a sniper is your
5629s own Sniper I'm like oh
5633s don't win those sniper duels on Maya
5635s that's it yeah that's there dude that's
5638s why I get into the rhythm of play two
5639s games get tilted turn the game off ah
5642s you know it's a curse I'm trying to work
5644s through it I thank you for your support
5646s in this trying time but now we see Azure
5649s back on the sojourn gym back on the
5650s reaper we're going for a very standard
5652s sort of composition no sigmas no widows
5654s no nothing on both sides frankly we see
5657s whoa I didn't even know you could hold
5659s up there that's some Florida Mayhem
5660s situations
5662s um let's hope we don't have to restart
5663s this map too it doesn't look like it I
5665s think we're having some good clean fun
5666s if you cast or cursed with us just now
5669s from that everyone is going to know it's
5671s completely your phone calling you out
5673s right there I'd go buy a lotto ticket
5675s I'd just leave
5676s my work is done you have a great forward
5680s hold here coming through I mean both
5683s sides kind of trading but of course the
5685s attackers would respond again should be
5687s definitely favored as you start to kind
5689s of bust out yeah really is stepping up
5691s on the replay
5693s the amount of time burned off the clock
5694s there for timeless's initial hold and
5697s now they're going to be able to hold on
5699s that high ground right after the ramp
5701s and shoot free fire into altior Nimbus
5705s and they have plenty of time to regroup
5707s yeah I mean that forward hold just like
5710s on like Havana or any other map affords
5712s you the opportunity to lose the fight
5714s and still come back for a good defense
5715s so you burn that clock we're over a
5718s minute into the time bank now um and
5720s still China severe will have the
5722s opportunity to bring it back
5723s oh Jimmy's just shooting everybody in
5726s the back finally
5731s railgun shot's gonna put you in your
5733s place with another one to follow suit
5735s and Timeless is showing a very strong
5738s defense here and honestly that initial
5742s Strat of holding close is really paying
5744s off for them so far and so is that swap
5746s right you get a zero back where they're
5748s comfortable you get gym back where
5749s they're comfortable and friendly this
5751s looks like a whole different team and
5753s that is exactly the juice you need in a
5755s moment like this where it is All or
5757s Nothing Montana falling low did get a
5760s little pressured but about to have
5762s Primal Rage online will be able to pop
5764s it and save themselves as a result what
5767s a filthy death Blossom rolling through
5770s their rips through the back line and now
5772s althiora has all the space and the
5774s advantage they need to actually take
5776s this point here to the second checkpoint
5778s they lost a couple people but they're
5780s gonna close it out
5782s I'll also point out that jam did go for
5784s the let's clutch this out sound barrier
5787s and that did not work for them I don't
5790s know if it hit anyone besides Jam
5792s Santana and Jim both look pretty low and
5794s pretty not sound barriers but maybe they
5797s just got burnt pretty quick right so it
5799s happens whatever you think you can pull
5800s it back and you can't
5802s um now I mean they do have their DPS
5804s ultimates online but alteora they've got
5806s their Primal they're coming online with
5807s the sound barrier right now like they're
5809s in a great position to re-establish
5810s themselves
5811s um
5813s all right we hear the death Blossom pop
5816s in the mix of all of that even though we
5818s see steady once again with the Primal
5820s Rage is taken out in the middle of that
5823s regardless of the extra Health sound
5825s barrier has been caught by kuropi and
5827s now the members of altiora have to give
5829s space regardless of having used that
5832s support ultimate Timeless managed to
5834s just hold strong
5836s yeah I mean Timeless just earned I think
5839s you talked a little earlier about their
5840s focus fire and how when steady Pops that
5842s Primal steady has three seconds to live
5844s right you know and that was kind of a
5846s chief example he steps up with that
5848s ultimate the sound barrier even coming
5849s in maybe a little late frankly for my
5851s face the time was Superior immediately
5853s take advantage of that window and just
5855s just focus fire but now it's like hooked
5858s ooh with the overclock yeah you better
5859s run yeah
5861s Santana has a good Shield drop bubble
5863s Shield drop there just as the overclock
5865s pops allowing their team to be protected
5868s and actually giving them the opportunity
5870s to retreat regardless of zenzook's
5873s ability to slide forward and get
5875s aggressive now alfiora has taken the
5877s space though created by that overclock
5879s to continue moving this cart Kitsune in
5883s the midst of the death Blossom here from
5884s Azalea No kills either way Jam almost
5887s falling low in does manage to survive
5890s aramore's Kitsune is popped for Timeless
5892s as they continue to try and hold this
5894s defensive checkpoint members of altiora
5896s going down one after another and with
5898s 223 on the clock Timeless continues to
5902s hold this second checkpoint you know I
5905s hate throwing words around like
5906s disastrous
5908s well we're we're looking at potential
5910s disastrous right like you had a great
5913s time mate coming in you had an old
5914s Advantage you just kind of get clutched
5917s out on a fight and then you come in
5918s again you burn everything you've got and
5921s you frankly have nothing to show for it
5923s and frankly I'm blessed because Timeless
5925s ethereal now has the old advantage of
5926s their own have a sound barrier Advantage
5928s you have the positional Advantage like
5930s if I'm timeless right now I am like all
5933s like full steam ahead guys this is our
5935s moment well and they just use sound
5937s barrier which means it's time for death
5939s Blossom to try and put the damage down
5942s the follow-up is there from the
5944s remainder of a Timeless ethereal they
5946s get the kills they need and once again
5949s this is a defensive checkpoint hold this
5952s is exactly where I said it would be very
5954s difficult to push into and Timeless are
5957s perfectly capitalizing on that
5959s right yeah Altera have this this one
5962s window really within this next 80
5964s seconds or so to make something happen
5966s they're gonna get the sound barrier
5967s online there's gonna have the overtime
5969s in the Primal but with Azalea going down
5971s I mean great you pull you get the pick
5974s you still pull the overclock and now you
5976s just leave yeah I think that's kind of
5977s the best you can hope for here for
5979s alteriora because now you know you have
5981s the advantage on that if you're tracking
5983s right you know the only thing Timeless
5985s ethereal is going to have is the Kitsune
5987s rush so you can respond with your own
5990s support ultimates you can respond with
5991s your own overclock pretty much
5993s uncontested but you have one shot
5995s there's 45 seconds yeah well and Nimbus
5998s is definitely tracking ultimates they're
6000s a high enough caliber team and they know
6002s it's their time to shine sound barriers
6005s been popped on top of the overclock and
6008s jam is picked out of the sky as a result
6010s Azure joins them in the mix of the kill
6013s feed and now altior Nimbus takes this
6016s payload and honestly
6018s they've maintained a couple more
6020s ultimates as a result I thought that was
6022s a pretty good fight yeah I mean this is
6024s this is a pretty solid scenario for them
6026s the overclock got great value the
6028s support ultimates provided the the
6029s safety and initiation that you need now
6031s the Primal even just to Zone people off
6033s and get that cart capture yeah they did
6036s get they did actually manage yeah and
6039s now they only
6040s go ahead oh they want to disappear that
6042s for sure with the time bank and almost
6044s zero and how well Timeless ethereal has
6047s been playing I personally wouldn't risk
6049s it I'm like I I respect an opponent as
6052s well as strong as both of these teams
6054s and you know we saw that actually with
6056s Jim hiding around the payload uh trying
6059s to avoid that railgun and this is gonna
6063s be a really close engagement for the
6065s bull the golden box
6066s a duck Blossom canceled out by the suzu
6070s and shut down just as quickly one minute
6072s on the clock and Nimbus is running to
6074s regroup yeah I mean that's all you have
6076s to do right you cannot afford that death
6079s Blossom was your one tool you are not
6081s gonna get ultimates unless I mean if
6083s something gets like
6084s nope never mind oh I'm so sorry I'm
6087s really sorry I'm getting back into the
6089s whole Caster thing I forget about the
6090s curse sometimes and now time was
6092s ethereal right you got 40 seconds on the
6094s clock you got almost all five ultimates
6096s you're getting staggers like now now
6099s I'll use it this is disastrous there we
6102s are you you can maybe pull the overclock
6106s and the kids I mean the bull supports
6108s for lto Nimbus but like almost versus
6110s already with 20 seconds is huge well and
6115s Timeless is holding so close so far
6118s forward to altiora's entrance and they
6120s still have to walk quite a significant
6122s difference to actually make it to the
6124s cart to contest it and instigate over
6126s time pushing into Kitsune is a tall ass
6128s and they use their own as a response
6130s sound barriers keeping Timeless ethereal
6132s maxed up here in this fight and we can
6135s see Nimbus continuing to try and push
6137s forward they got one pick in all of this
6140s chaos but can they continue to sustain
6142s themselves through the fight Timeless
6144s continuing to get these picks left and
6146s right and as Azalea goes down we can see
6148s Azure looking for a Target kiropius
6151s manages to pop the sound barrier as a
6153s result but it's just a couple of
6155s stragglers here on Nimbus on the point
6157s zenzuk trying to make some hero plays
6160s with this overclock is the potential
6162s there oh man almost gets the pick
6165s through there and Timeless is still
6167s trying to defensively hold this overtime
6170s bar is triggered and if anyone steps off
6172s it's going to be disappearing in the
6174s blink of an eye there it is almost burnt
6176s down in Salem manages to touch again
6179s this was a long hard-fought fight here
6183s by altior and Nimbus but at the end of
6185s the day Timeless ethereal adapts to win
6188s the series
6190s yeah and I mean just talk about plucking
6193s it out right talking about having grit
6195s here just
6197s going from getting as gobsmacked as you
6200s got on the call really getting the
6202s download and taking the time to make
6204s conscious effort switch things up I mean
6208s I think that is the level of strategy
6210s that is an absolute must to make it far
6214s in this tournament
6216s um so I mean Bravo Bravo on both sides
6218s obviously is a fantastic game like no
6221s discounting anybody in that Lobby for
6223s not doing an amazing job because they
6225s all popped off but I mean in those last
6227s few moments right you're getting
6229s staggers in one of the last fights of
6231s the match you have an old economy that
6233s suddenly swings hugely in your favor
6235s just off of some picks and some good
6237s disengages like
6239s that was kind of The Perfect Storm for
6241s Timeless ethereal at exactly the moment
6242s they needed it and they knew that and
6245s they moved on that with such skill so
6247s again hats off to them for what has been
6249s a great start to our day oh yeah I
6252s absolutely agree there and like you
6255s mentioned no no discount to either of
6258s these teams in that on those
6259s performances Nimbus was right there at
6262s the edge almost taking that golden box
6265s of Victory and you know with the last
6268s couple of plays there really were a lot
6270s of opportunities for either team to take
6272s that win I think Timeless was able to uh
6275s you know keep their calm keep that cool
6278s just a little bit more in those chaotic
6280s uh those chaotic fights and it really
6283s shows some of their you know higher
6286s level talent and experience that these
6288s players have done across their entire
6290s OverWatch careers and you know huge
6293s props to both of these teams it's only
6295s the Swiss round for folks so they still
6297s got a couple more to go go and we could
6299s easily be seeing both of them back in
6302s our finals next tomorrow we are going to
6305s get an interview set up real well real
6307s quick so don't go anywhere and we'll see
6310s you in a moment

6466s hello folks and welcome back to the
6469s calling all heroes Challengers cup we
6472s are gonna kick off our interview here
6474s from one of our Victorious members of
6478s the Timeless ethereal team
6480s aramori welcome to the interview booth
6484s and congratulations on your win dude
6486s hi thank you so much
6490s honestly it is great to see you playing
6493s um especially after I just saw you in
6495s Anaheim for the grand of finals what uh
6498s what was kind of the mindset for you and
6501s your team going into this Challenger's
6503s cup too especially since some of you you
6506s know played on different teams for the
6508s first Challenger's cup
6510s yeah so
6512s um we had just recently become like a
6516s well we have a six-man roster or seven
6518s man roster so we had just recently you
6521s know started scrimming together and only
6523s like this past week like actually
6524s finalized our roster
6527s um so practicing scrimming just a ton
6530s we've been double blocking
6532s um bod reviewing every single night my
6534s whole team is an extremely driven group
6537s of Gamers and I cannot be more proud of
6540s them for putting in the work that
6541s they're working
6544s well your second two games were
6547s definitely evidence of all of the work
6549s you guys have been doing you know it
6551s almost seemed like you were a completely
6553s different team after your control map
6556s and I'd love to know you know what what
6558s happened behind the scenes to give the
6561s team that shift in mindset or you know
6564s was it you one of the in-game leaders
6567s given like that a motivational pep talk
6569s going on what was what shifted for you
6572s guys
6574s um yeah I definitely think you could
6576s call it a motivational pep talk
6579s um we kind of just like sat down and we
6582s were like Hey we're like making silly
6584s mistakes like just focus on your own
6586s gameplay we can do this and then we kind
6588s of had like a whole mental shift and I
6591s also think like first map we we were a
6593s little we were a little sleepy a little
6595s tired so we kind of woke up when the
6598s adrenaline started going so
6601s it's definitely an important part gotta
6603s get some sleep in man absolutely
6606s so looking looking at this game we we
6609s saw a lot of kind of the meta the
6611s composition that everyone is expecting
6613s right now but we saw some wrinkles too
6615s what was kind of the thought process
6617s behind handling
6619s you know over the course of the series
6621s everything that was kind of coming your
6622s way and how you wanted to adapt to that
6624s especially here on this on this last map
6626s on circuit Royale
6627s yeah so
6629s um we knew when they had picked circuit
6632s that they were planning to play
6633s something that was more like distance
6635s based and you know a lot more like
6638s um you know Widowmaker based and so we
6641s had made the decision like Hey we're not
6643s even going to like mirror that like we
6646s think we are good enough on this comp
6647s that we can just like force it and like
6649s kind of force our way through and that's
6651s exactly what we did
6653s got it okay that is yeah I mean Point
6657s proven right yeah
6660s understatement
6662s sorry yeah
6664s um I mean I I guess kind of a a big
6666s question for you do you feel like given
6669s that given that you can kind of like
6670s force this that you can kind of do
6673s whatever you guys are comfortable with
6674s like how do you feel in terms of like
6677s the distance that you guys are gonna go
6678s are you looking at any other teams as
6680s like real threats do you view yourselves
6682s as the top dogs like what's your mindset
6685s going into this
6686s I definitely think in this qualifier we
6689s are looking to kind of prove ourselves
6691s as one of the top names and top teams
6693s but I really think that this team like
6696s all of us we can keep uh forcing our
6699s game and forcing other people to adapt
6701s around us and that's what makes us
6702s really strong
6704s excellent that's a good mindset to have
6706s for sure all right well we won't keep
6708s you here too much longer before you go
6710s though anyone you want to shout out say
6712s thank you to send a warning
6716s I will definitely shout out our coaching
6719s staff on Timeless ethereal they have
6720s been putting in so much work and staying
6723s until like 3 A.M to work with us so love
6725s you all so much
6727s gamer schedule
6729s yeah strong work from you guys today
6732s from the whole team and all the staff
6733s and everything you guys are showing up
6735s when you need to and we love to see it
6737s so thanks very much for chatting with us
6739s and good luck
6740s thank you
6744s well folks you heard it from her herself
6747s Timeless ethereal is looking to be one
6749s of the top contenders in our calling all
6752s heroes Challengers cup 2. simple I
6755s definitely think they have what it takes
6757s to make it to the highest areas of the
6759s bracket tomorrow but as with all teams
6763s the real question is can they
6764s consistently bring that level of quality
6767s competitive play the warning has been
6771s issued I think though
6772s so long as we're awake for control
6776s watch out so long as we've gotten our
6779s nappy naps I'm a shock fan all right I'm
6782s used to losing control every time yeah
6784s the first one every time Timeless
6787s ethereal post the meme
6790s wow okay we're so we're seeing some
6792s updated standings here thank you
6793s production
6795s um and wow wow wow okay so we've got
6798s Timeless ethereal and dart monkeys
6799s maintaining their perfect record here
6801s Pursuit number one on over buff both
6804s losing their first matches dropping to
6806s three and four themselves altiora Nimbus
6808s stepping up still maintaining their
6811s number five uh we got banned on chalky
6813s milk just shout out ban on track emails
6815s I I hate the name because I love chalky
6817s milk but I respect it
6819s um we've also got Vancouver Titans blue
6821s dropping quite a bit wow
6824s you know some big moves she dropped as
6827s well I gotta say I'm surprised coming
6829s through from a team like that you know
6831s they did lose a handful of players over
6833s to altior Nimbus but in general Mochi is
6837s a pretty strong competitor in the in
6840s other tournaments like the ohek
6842s yeah I mean but this is really showing
6844s us right like how competitive this field
6846s is that's true that that top 16 we saw
6849s at this time at the top of the show is
6851s not the top scene we are going to end
6853s with by any margin no no and there's
6855s still two more games to go right I mean
6857s any of these could end up at the top or
6860s drop down very suddenly
6863s um so I mean I'm excited to see where
6866s this goes yeah I am as well and you know
6869s there's a lot on the line here for these
6872s teams they're all trying to be qualified
6875s for the finals in December it takes so
6878s it takes place over the 11th 17th and
6881s 18th and at the end of the day there's
6883s the 25k prize pool that's really you
6887s know the big incentive for these these
6889s players to try and win and continue to
6892s win consistently throughout these
6894s different phases of the calling all
6896s heroes Challengers cups and you know I
6898s gotta say I am excited to see how it's
6901s all actually going to continue to unfold
6904s folks we're going to get back with our
6906s round five uh Swiss round in a moment so
6909s don't go anywhere and we'll be back soon

7067s hello everyone and welcome back to the
7070s calling all heroes Challengers cup 2 for
7073s anyone just joining us for this second
7075s series of the day I am waffles for Sid
7078s and this is thibodork here on the
7081s analyst side we're gonna be bringing you
7083s our next matchup of Wisteria versus
7086s Moonlight Oblivion and uh the bull this
7090s is our fifth round of the Swiss Series
7092s so there's a lot on the line really
7094s pushing for these teams to solidify
7097s their final placements moving into
7098s tomorrow
7099s right yeah and I mean looking at the
7101s standings for both of these teams this
7103s is a must-win game you know like three
7106s and three is probably going to start to
7108s be the cutoff line for teams you know in
7111s terms of qualifying for that top 16. so
7113s if you are gonna drop to two and three
7116s or two and four or what have you and
7119s that's probably not going to be enough
7120s so these teams both need to step up and
7123s win their next two games to have a shot
7125s and that can be certainly looking at the
7128s teams that we've seen here on the field
7129s a pretty tall order
7131s so looking at Wisteria here you know we
7134s we've got a team that looks like they're
7136s ready to pull out maybe some some pocket
7138s hit scan go for some double sniper
7140s situations stuff like that which I love
7142s to see you heard me talking about
7144s junkrat which is not a hit scan but I
7146s like things that are different
7147s um and I mean just in general Wisteria
7150s has a little bit of experience they've
7151s played in ohek they've had you know some
7153s players on Pursuit uh and and a couple
7156s other like free agent or collegiate
7157s teams like there's a real chance here
7159s for them to step up but on the other
7161s side Moonlight Oblivion also have some
7164s pretty decent talent to hand uh that
7167s could step up and kind of show us what
7168s they got
7170s I'm uh excited to see what they bring to
7173s the table
7175s um like you mentioned before some of the
7177s members of Wisteria have some experience
7179s beforehand but moonlit Oblivion actually
7183s has the uh higher Sr on paper so we'll
7187s have to see if that's actually the
7189s advantage they have or if the Synergy
7192s from uh Wisteria is harder for them to
7195s overcome overall we can see we'll see
7199s how much we have a Moira getting played
7202s here in the thick of it sometimes we
7204s just ask these players you know which
7206s character do you want to represent you
7208s or who's your favorite for your lineup
7211s card all right so I don't want to make
7213s any commitments on that front
7215s hey I'd be down all right give me some
7218s sniper give me some some Brawley
7220s situations I Am pro Moira sorry folks
7223s I'm probably right I am too I support
7226s you it's it's a flaw but you know what
7228s we we stand some flood some flawed goals
7231s out here and you know Moira does work
7233s one Euro it makes samito slam his desk
7236s and I think anything that makes samito
7238s slam his desk is a good thing let's be
7240s real so we'll see of course as as
7243s mentioned that is no guarantee of play
7246s it is certainly just an aesthetic sort
7249s of thing but you know it is a guarantee
7251s uh going to control first yeah nice nice
7255s nice nice yes that's true we're gonna
7258s get off at a Oasis to start off the maps
7262s of course we'll move into hybrid escort
7264s push to follow up but we'll just have to
7267s see how it starts off simple control is
7270s really its own monster like we've said
7272s in the past and well we just saw the
7274s last game where Timeless lost control
7277s and came back in Reverse swept so we'll
7280s see how this series unfolds this time
7282s around shout out TTV Zelda
7286s oh you gotta love it folks we love some
7288s self promo in here uh of course as
7291s mentioned it's control it's crazy you
7294s never know what you're gonna have
7296s the tank is playing fair right now or no
7298s they're just out of order excuse me oh
7301s it happened yeah it's not the end of the
7303s world we're professionals
7305s um yeah I mean not much to talk about on
7308s these rosters they're obviously having
7309s some fun with it I would love to
7311s actually see the Pharaoh Mercy coming
7312s out I think that is a real option
7314s especially here on Gardens wrecking ball
7317s I am a wrecking ball anti I'm not afraid
7319s to say it but if that's what they want
7321s to do then sure no thank you thank you
7323s seeing sense so we've got actually a
7326s non-mirror here by quite a bit we've got
7328s Pluto's planet coming out on the Diva
7330s versus Nibley here on the Winston you do
7332s have the fair emergency coming out
7333s you've got double sniper here from
7334s Moonlight it seems like an obvious
7336s counter but with the angles at play here
7338s or yeah stuff like that can happen well
7342s and we all know the dangers of a pocket
7346s or damage boosted Pharaoh on the on the
7348s field here and well bonbo goes ahead
7350s takes advantage of that there's gonna be
7352s a lot of pressure applied to them though
7354s they are getting it topped off a
7356s constant pocket there from Layla tcv
7359s looking to try and get these pigs here
7361s off on this side angle but at the end of
7364s the day moonlit Oblivion is going to
7365s continue maintaining the point and
7367s trying to cap it first
7369s I love that Zelda was just like uh
7371s excuse me Pluto sorry I gotta get past
7373s you real quick I'm getting chased by
7374s your pharaoh and bonobo is just woof
7377s right putting in some work there's not
7380s much of an answer even with the double
7381s hit scan right now uh just so in their
7383s face
7385s no one seems to put any pressure here
7387s actually I want to read let me restart
7389s that there was a significant amount of
7391s pressure being put onto bonebo from
7394s Crescent and unfortunately they could
7397s not finish off the final blow onto them
7399s Layla was there on a beautiful pocket
7402s non-stop the dodgings and the play
7404s around some of the different topic
7406s topographical aspects we're on point
7408s from bonbo and now he has farage
7412s uh and I like as well actually the swaps
7414s coming through from moonlit to kind of
7415s answer this right the pharah is getting
7417s a ton of work done bring in a diva of
7419s your own bring in a soldier get in some
7421s consistent hit scan and pressure that
7423s can only not only mitigate that damage
7424s but also kind of deal some of it right
7426s back so some interesting swaps here from
7429s Moonlight let's see what they can do
7436s face of the DPS there of moon lit
7439s Oblivion bonvo does go down as a result
7441s and so does Layla know res online and
7445s with the valkyrie taken off it looks
7447s like moonlit Oblivion have this
7449s opportunity to go ahead and take the 0.4
7451s themselves Wisteria is stalling out as
7454s long as they can and you can see rinder
7456s trying to go ahead make hero plays with
7458s the overclock but at the end of the day
7461s it is just going to give them some extra
7462s time while moonlit goes ahead and caps
7465s it for themselves again
7466s and I mean surprisingly close in terms
7468s of percentages here right only 60 for
7470s Wisteria 25 and Counting here for
7472s moonlight moonlight also coming online
7474s with some ultimates but bonobo you can
7476s already tell wants to set up wants to
7479s have that clutch factor that brings them
7481s in Pluto's planet as well coming online
7483s with the self-destruct pretty soon uh
7486s we'll match nibblies but can you know
7488s there's always the option with a good
7490s self-destructure really blow a fight
7491s wider
7492s oh and now TTV has sites online you got
7497s to be careful this I mean look at this
7499s hunting right here oh those clips of
7501s Mercy as she barely drifts over to the
7503s side it's gonna be a self-destruct
7505s forcing them off of The High Ground and
7506s another one this time from nibbly right
7509s over the top pops a hat trick in the
7511s kill feed and moonlit Oblivion has
7514s everything they need to continue holding
7516s this point
7518s see and I I get the move from Pluto's
7521s planet right you drop that
7523s Diva bomb right in front of the Widow
7525s and you're like get off of this High
7526s Ground get out of here what are you
7528s doing here
7529s um and then of course I mean you just
7530s kind of drop and you're good and then
7533s the perfect like Ace in the Hole coming
7535s in from nibly to counter that out like
7537s people already needing to reposition
7539s just not having the time of the space to
7540s do so and now it's 85 counting for
7543s movement after what was maybe considered
7546s to be a bit of a rough start oh but Novo
7548s goes ahead gets close enough he could
7550s give moonlet Oblivion a high five almost
7552s all members of moonland of living a high
7554s five takes down TTV but Crescent is here
7557s on the bottom with these but with the
7559s visor pop 99 has been triggered for
7562s moonlit and they're looking to take this
7564s first round mysterious doing a good job
7566s installing and there is the barrage
7568s finding one cotton menu for a moment but
7571s now we can see Moonlight continuing to
7573s hold off the trickle of Wisteria it is a
7576s deadly game and Pluto's planet is going
7578s down this Layla comes through trying to
7581s just heal up but civil hit the end of
7584s the day it's still trickling in here for
7586s Wisteria yeah I mean you really need
7589s something explosive to happen in A
7590s Moment Like This to really bring a fight
7592s back otherwise you're just kind of
7593s stalling for the sake of being
7595s competitive which I can still respect
7598s um but yeah I mean the swap's coming
7599s through the Moonlight were exactly what
7601s they needed a little more consistent GPS
7603s a little more consistent front line to
7605s kind of revive cover against bonobo on
7608s the pharah plus I mean the diva bomb
7611s this is chef's kiss
7614s um now though getting into University
7618s yes
7620s yes that is my answer because pharah
7624s Farah is not really the flavor of the
7625s day here on University unless you're
7628s like oh one Esports
7630s and that's just what you do
7633s um
7634s right yeah if you have a special excuse
7637s me specialist uh you see but nobody here
7640s swapping through a bunch of different
7641s options going for the Sim to provide the
7642s quick TP though
7645s not always I mean sometimes yeah you
7648s just go for it a sim a Sim on University
7650s is not unheard of on the other side
7652s though you've got the Moira you stand a
7655s flawed girl and he's also got the double
7657s long range hit cam here and immediately
7659s Zelda getting some work done
7663s oh my goodness that was almost sneaky
7666s coming in through from bonobo but
7668s definitely uh not ready for nibly there
7672s to reinforce their teammate come back
7674s through and give him Oblivion this first
7676s point cap in general this area is gonna
7679s have to regroup so they can push again
7680s right and you see when it will swap over
7683s to the sojourn it's the more consistent
7684s option especially if you haven't managed
7686s to secure first control and like set up
7689s get your turrets ready all that stuff
7691s get your car wash ready right exactly
7693s and I respected the attempt right
7695s because if if you've got a long range
7696s hit scan and you teleport over to them
7699s they are suddenly not as effective as
7701s they were before but with that opening
7703s pick from Zelda you were just never
7704s gonna make that setup happen so the
7706s quick swap I think is absolutely The
7708s Right Move sojourn obviously it's
7710s sojourned like it's a fantastic kick
7712s right now you're gonna get some work
7713s done surrender actually stepping forward
7715s and taking first blood as Moonlight
7716s trade back
7717s man and at the cost of their own life
7720s though that aggression just a little too
7722s much I am really excited to see that we
7725s did have the Moira roll through here
7727s from Symphony as we uh saw on their
7730s initial player lineup and Isuzu already
7733s forced out of Wisteria they have to wait
7735s longer until they can push because they
7737s need that yeah you're not going to want
7739s to really try a full engage without the
7741s Susu online rindra has been getting work
7743s done but you don't want to count on
7745s don't worry guys I'll just go get a pick
7746s oh no oh in the early the early season
7749s comes through luckily not needed the
7750s spirit shift also helps you get away
7751s just in case because you never know
7753s sometimes but now though again those
7756s cooldowns offline the platoonant rush is
7758s going to help as bonobo support she's
7760s reefer in the Kitsune Rush definitely
7763s not something you want to be engaging on
7765s with serious continuing to capitalize
7767s capitalize on the Kitsune Rush a little
7770s crazy on the slide but Crescent goes
7772s down in the end and now moonlit Oblivion
7775s only has nibbly here on the point a
7777s little bit of stall left for them to
7779s keep squeezing out Point possession but
7782s Wisteria gonna go ahead and cap the
7784s point for the first time this round 90
7786s percent though with Syria must be
7788s perfect to stay alive in this map they
7791s have the ultimates to do that everything
7793s except the Kitsune Rush coming online
7794s are already there the moonland Oblivion
7797s on the other side pretty much the same
7798s story they're not going to have that
7800s self-destruct which was obviously a
7802s pretty important part of their efforts
7804s on pardons but even so Bob coming
7806s through the overclock the coalescence
7809s options are bound for both sides here so
7811s this is almost going to be like a
7813s neutral height in terms of budget
7814s everyone's just got to execute and get
7816s the kills with her cat
7818s bonobo opens up with a kill with this
7821s overclock initially there was a
7823s self-destruct forcing people to move
7825s locations and fibble the DPS are just
7828s tearing apart Moon lit Oblivion they
7831s were all in the kill feed that last
7833s fight well they also used both of their
7835s ultimates so I would hope they were in
7837s the kill feed after that sure yeah yeah
7839s you you really hope for a conversion in
7841s moments like that please actually get
7843s something done with your old thank you
7844s but Wisteria having no problems with
7846s that rundra and vanilla poll but now
7848s move it Oblivion that was almost I mean
7850s basically kind of the game plan for them
7852s right you pull out some big ultimates on
7853s the other side you hang on to your you
7855s use your support but you hang on to Bob
7857s and the overclock Here Comes Bob and now
7860s you've got a bit of an old advantage to
7861s try and take this last fight and this
7863s match and Bob has provided Point
7865s presence and pressure forcing Moon lit
7868s uplift herbs cursing Wisteria to have to
7870s back up when Oblivion does go ahead get
7872s an opening pick in this fight and now
7875s they're continuing to try and push on
7877s forward with mysterious captured 78 but
7880s they do not want them to capture any
7882s more they've taken down one after
7883s another and now they're about to take
7885s the point themselves 10 seconds left for
7887s Wisteria to try and touch
7889s actually so clenched that Nibley was
7891s even able to get back and neck with
7892s rinja literally like staring at them and
7895s actively shooting
7896s um but they just managed to get back in
7898s just managed to then turn that into a
7900s couple kills just managed to turn that
7902s into a first map win
7905s well that is a uh pretty clean for well
7908s there were some good back and forth but
7910s at the end of the day you know a really
7912s nice job out to I mean especially bonobo
7915s this Pharmacy was almost untouched for a
7918s long time right and it really forced
7921s movement Oblivion to think about how
7923s they wanted to approach this and not
7925s just like we're just gonna run whatever
7926s like right we need to actually have some
7929s strategy about this and they did convert
7931s that quite well
7932s um but even so that that opening punch
7934s is kind of the thing that forces you
7936s like right
7938s we this is the real deal this is an
7940s official we got to bring our a game here
7942s so when Oblivion stepping up in a big
7945s way this is of course first to two so
7947s not a lot of time left for Wisteria to
7949s try and bring this back but as we've
7951s seen it's not impossible uh definitely
7954s not impossible and you know there were
7957s some opportunities there but we saw
7959s Moonlight Oblivion really showing that
7961s they could go toe-to-toe with wisteria
7964s and you know once again it's control so
7967s we know that teams perform a little bit
7969s some teams perform a lot better outside
7971s of control like uh San Francisco shock
7975s but
7977s to each their own for their weaknesses
7980s and uh how long it takes for them to
7982s warm up I do like the adaptation that
7986s moonlit Oblivion brought to the table
7988s after seeing that nasty Pharmacy combo
7990s come through on the first map
7993s um it seems like they understood oh our
7996s one DPS is not able to take down the
7999s pharmacy pocket we imagine that right
8001s yeah let's let's do something
8004s yeah but go ahead sorry no I mean that
8008s was about it right like we we love to
8010s see the Strategic adaptation we're going
8012s to see more of that I'm sure as we
8014s progress through our game mode and
8016s through you know how the teams want to
8018s approach it but we've got a little time
8020s for them to figure that out as we head
8021s towards map two we're gonna go to a
8023s quick break and we will see you guys in
8024s just a minute
8030s [Music]

8180s welcome back once again to the calling
8183s all heroes Challengers cup we're in our
8186s round five of the Swiss style round
8189s robin and we are in the midst of our
8191s Wisteria match-up versus moonlit
8194s Oblivion now Sybil we saw Wisteria kind
8198s of uh take the cake there for the
8200s opening round of control and then
8202s moonlit Oblivion well came back and won
8205s the map what are you uh thinking going
8208s into our hybrid map or what you think we
8210s might see
8211s I mean I I think we're going to see lots
8214s more or at least at least a little more
8217s um kind of departures from our standard
8219s meta currently I think both of these
8221s teams are perhaps comfortable or like a
8224s little more comfortable perhaps playing
8226s their comfort picks playing what they
8227s know works for them
8229s um have probably practiced those
8231s strategies for as long as they've been
8233s practicing and are comfortable just kind
8235s of bringing that to the fore and they're
8237s not like oh well the OverWatch league is
8239s playing this so that's exactly what we
8241s have to play like they know that there
8242s are still opportunities to provide some
8244s wrinkles especially getting here onto
8246s King's Row
8248s um because kingro's been around for a
8250s billion years and you can play kind of
8252s anything on King's Row
8254s um so if you can play it better than
8255s your opponent you definitely can
8257s especially on Kings like Kings Road is a
8261s huge enabler of any of those uh you know
8264s more unorthodox approaches that you and
8267s I both like to see in every meta yeah
8270s yeah I mean this is this is a map where
8272s your neutral game really really matters
8275s and your positioning and your
8276s willingness to like take space like we
8279s were seeing in our last series really
8281s make the difference so for Wisteria I
8284s kind of want to see the same thing I
8286s wanted to see from Timeless ethereal in
8288s our last series this is your chance to
8290s turn the dial back up wake up I hope you
8293s finish your nappy nap like we gotta go
8296s um like we need to see the tanks taking
8299s space the DPS stepping up and getting
8301s some clutch picks like
8303s well opportunities obviously are there
8305s bonobos showed us already that the
8307s pharah can be
8308s wink wink explosive
8311s rindra stepping up on the reaper was
8313s getting some work done was getting some
8314s initial picks here and there the Widow
8316s is another opportunity for that coming
8317s out
8319s um which I mean just for an opening pick
8321s even is something on the other side
8323s though we've got the Diva coming back
8325s for Nibley seems to be a favorite of
8328s theirs I can hardly find them he was in
8330s a good spot yes Zelda as well stepping
8332s up again on the pharah perhaps
8334s predicting
8336s or sorry the the Widow words are hard
8338s perhaps predicting the pharah that's
8340s where I was getting I'm hoping to kind
8342s of head that off at the pass right now
8344s bonobo at least probably gonna go for
8346s the early Sonic just to see where
8348s everyone's at uh and damn near gets
8350s their head cut off
8351s yeah definitely uh you know a close
8355s clean shave right there as you can see
8357s the damage being thrown up at Wisteria
8360s here rinder on this High Ground Widow
8362s Maker
8363s not finding any picks yet Pluto already
8366s demecked that was fast whoa that came
8370s out of nowhere Sybil and there goes the
8372s pharah too right that defensive Widow
8374s doing exactly what I figured it was
8376s going to do be on bonobo Duty my job is
8379s make him go away so away goes bonobo
8383s they unfortunately heading back to spawn
8385s having to figure out how they want to
8386s approach this perhaps from a slightly
8387s different Zelda
8390s ouch man the curse is really strong
8391s today I'm very sorry about that uh
8393s Lenovo going down again you are right
8396s back to spawn Zelda now getting into
8398s that flow state that we've been talking
8399s about feeling pretty good
8401s um but even so Crescent trying to kind
8403s of provide some cover and fire there as
8405s rendra on the sojourn is trying their
8408s best to Peppers insane
8410s I think bonobo is going to have a lot
8412s more difficult time on this ferret
8414s compared to what we saw on Oasis there's
8417s not nearly as many uh pillar
8419s opportunities for them to be hiding
8421s behind now that Zelda's been pressured
8423s back farther to the uh you know back of
8427s point a there's a little bit more room
8428s for them to move but will nibblies on
8431s their case I guess it's my turn to give
8433s them the Caster a curse Foodland
8435s Oblivion continuing to pressure on
8436s Wisteria Layla gets the Reds okay
8439s massive massive Reds coming through
8442s definitely should not have been allowed
8444s and well Wisteria is still taken down at
8448s the end of the day and moonlit holding
8450s this defensive point with 215 on the
8452s clock yeah I mean even with that res
8454s that that takes away healing from the
8456s rest of the team right that's when the
8457s mercy is not providing anything else to
8460s anyone else so that immediately was
8462s moonlit signal like they're going for
8464s the res push right and Pluto's planet
8467s was trying to provide a little space for
8470s her team that is your job but
8472s unfortunately isolated as she was with
8474s very few resources behind her there's
8476s going to be no withstanding the amount
8478s of front loaded damage uh that moonlit
8480s Oblivion can really bring to the fore so
8483s again maintaining a solid position you
8485s have sites online right now you have
8487s four other ultimates coming online close
8489s Wisteria I mean the katsune rush is an
8491s opening for you guys but you need to
8493s convert that into something and you've
8495s got 90 seconds so like do you use that
8497s now or do you try and save it for a
8498s potential last time well bonobo here is
8500s on this Hanzo as well trying to quickly
8503s Farm up that dragon blade or that uh
8505s dragon strike if possible Nibley has
8509s been so aggressive on this Diva
8511s constantly taking down anyone who is low
8513s including the pharah that's been flying
8516s around in the sky so far though we see
8518s Moonlight continue doing to try and get
8520s aggressive hunting for that Lucio DPS
8522s Moira in the house does have to dip out
8525s at the end of the day and let everyone
8527s else help her out but it's still gonna
8529s be moonlight moonlight holding this
8531s defensive point and now we have less
8534s than a minute left on the clock Wisteria
8536s has their backs against the wall off
8538s right and we talked about you know do
8540s you want to save that Kitsune Rush the
8542s answer was no and they used it after
8544s rindra had already gone down to try and
8546s bring that back try and build some
8548s ultimates which has worked for them to
8550s be fair they have three about to be
8551s online a little further behind on that
8553s sound barrier than they might like after
8554s the mercy swap rindra though also
8556s swapping to the reaper here four percent
8559s this is all you've got to bear at 20
8562s seconds in so second strike put some uh
8566s pressure there onto The High Ground and
8568s Royal kind gets the opening pick onto
8570s Crescent bonobo joins the club taking
8573s down Zelda as a result and now Wisteria
8576s has opened the doors for them to capture
8578s this first point at the very last moment
8580s Danbury is going to stall out the team
8582s fight a little bit longer and Symphony
8584s manages to capitalize taking down Layla
8587s Overtime Bar has been triggered and now
8589s moonlit Oblivion has their momentum they
8592s just pop the self-destruct zoning away
8593s members of Wisteria rindra gets taken
8596s out and now Wisteria only has one two
8599s people left in this play to try and keep
8601s stalling out the point
8603s Ot stall's Ot response are forever and
8606s with just the Lucio o left it's gonna be
8609s moonlit Oblivion with a full first point
8613s King's Row hold
8616s well that's a statement
8617s in and of itself right I mean I I think
8621s the composition did exactly what they
8623s wanted it to do for moonlit Oblivion I
8625s think they had an exact plan as to how
8628s they wanted to go what everyone's role
8630s was supposed to be and that really shook
8633s out just as they expected it to Zelda
8636s consistently providing the zoning bonobo
8639s cannot just come in be the ground pharah
8641s that hits direct hits from two feet away
8643s like
8645s you know the the game plan that Wisteria
8647s maybe wanted to bring to bear was
8649s utterly halted yeah by the composition
8652s that Moon would Oblivion had and their
8654s understanding of where they needed to be
8656s and when you know Nibley was constantly
8658s in exactly the right place on the the
8662s diva oh yeah show me this show me this
8667s absolutely you know and I if I'm moving
8670s with Oblivion
8671s I'm feeling pretty solid I'm thinking
8674s maybe we go a little silly with it maybe
8675s we try something a little fun you're on
8678s the attack you've got some wiggling room
8679s in the spawn right out of the gate
8681s that's why we see the widowmakers open
8683s up the fights yeah you've got time to
8685s like lose a fight and switch if you want
8688s or you could you could do
8691s um you could do the Liam ow Strat I'm
8693s gonna I'm gonna call this shot before I
8695s see it I want to see Zelda teleport
8697s Crescent to the top of the mondata
8699s statue
8702s it's fine this composition is also good
8704s it's very standard for what they've been
8706s running it works I get it after today
8708s I'm like didn't you haven't you learned
8710s your cast of Kirsten everything that
8712s they've done I know I know I gotta flip
8714s the switch in the Caster blessings
8718s yourself right there in the foot
8720s it's fine it's fine everyone's having
8722s fun we're having fun we're having fun
8726s Widowmaker here way on the side looking
8728s for that off angle for anyone who is uh
8731s you know unsuspecting or not behind
8733s enough cover that is a quick kill onto
8736s rindra starting off the feed nimbly
8739s absolutely aggressive and continuing to
8741s be in the face of Wisteria not enough
8744s resources health-wise to keep them alive
8746s in that fight and well it's a little bit
8748s of a chaotic fight here on this point
8750s all around these Lucio's are skirting
8753s across the point and well it looks like
8756s Wisteria might be able to stabilize a
8758s bit here on the defense Crest is taking
8760s a lot of damage
8762s right and not really converting as
8764s quickly as they might like but Noble
8765s getting the picture well yeah there it
8767s goes again maybe we're just jumping in
8768s doing things
8770s um the the pick is well from Zelda and
8772s yeah this map is pretty much yeah with
8775s only one tick needed there for moonlit
8778s Oblivion they did a fantastic job on the
8781s defense and were divided they were Swift
8784s and decisive on this offense and
8787s honestly congratulations to them here
8789s for their Victory on this Swiss round
8793s five nibly absolutely deserves this play
8796s of the game if not player of the match I
8799s was gonna say yeah nidalee is kind of my
8800s Undisputed I mean I think across
8802s multiple Heroes stepping up oh yeah
8804s consistently like I I think a very
8807s important part of being a tank player is
8809s being in the right place at the right
8810s time
8811s and knowing how to make that not just a
8814s lucky thing how to make the the
8816s calculated thing to do and nibly
8819s consistently was watching for rez's was
8821s immediately peeling for the back line
8823s and providing extra bursts for the front
8825s line like a very balanced sort of
8828s Midfield tank which is in this meta
8831s really really really important so
8834s excellent work from moonlit again I mean
8836s the whole team obviously was firing on
8838s all the cylinders here
8840s um and for Wisteria this is definitely
8841s just a chance to kind of review right
8844s this shows you like okay here's where we
8846s can make some things happen and here's
8848s where we maybe need to just put in a
8850s little extra gas so we've got some games
8853s left but still yeah I agree with you
8855s there and you know Wisteria is
8857s definitely one of those teams where we
8859s could see them as we continue to
8861s progress through the calling all heroes
8863s throughout the years
8865s um we saw earlier you know they're a
8866s subdivision of Blossom who is another
8869s team playing in this calling all heroes
8872s event and uh you know it's nice to see
8875s that it's not just all Tiara who has
8877s multiple teams here in this event uh the
8881s blossom the blossom team is also
8883s supporting their own org here with
8886s wisteria and I mean it's nice to see
8889s that there is actually a pipeline that
8892s has been funneled and prepping their own
8894s teams for this opportunity of calling
8898s Our Heroes for marginalized gender so
8900s nice to see it all come full circle but
8903s it's still moonlit Oblivion with the win
8906s at the end of the day Sybil and they got
8909s to be feeling good as they're looking to
8910s move into placements for tomorrow
8914s right yeah I mean like like we called at
8916s the top of the series this is definitely
8918s a must win for for both of these teams
8920s oh right yeah moonlit have the
8922s opportunity to take this momentum into
8924s their next game hopefully break even at
8927s three and three after the start that
8929s they had and hope that that is enough to
8932s kind of push them into that top 16. you
8935s know we we don't quite have like how all
8937s those standings are going to go or what
8938s the cutoff point is going to be right
8940s it's certainly going to behoove you to
8942s keep winning
8943s [Laughter]
8945s um you know they they want to win they
8947s want to take the football and put it
8949s over where the football goes all day
8950s baby all day all day every day practice
8953s and review and sleep shake and bake yeah
8956s yeah oh we got over to NASCAR I don't
8958s know that's a Talladega Nights one too
8960s in general so I got a yeah yeah yeah
8962s yeah I mean this is this is a chance for
8965s for moonlit definitely to catch some
8967s momentum you know put some lightning in
8969s a bottle and then use it where they need
8971s it most which is going to be their next
8973s game right because we're entering the
8975s last round it is do or die now more even
8978s than it was a couple minutes ago so
8981s a lot on the line and uh we'll have to
8984s see how it all unfolds we aren't quite
8987s sure if we're going to be able to grab
8988s an interview here with someone from
8990s moonlit Oblivion oh looks like we are so
8994s we will be right back folks in a moment
8996s we're gonna get them popped in here with
8998s us and we'll see what they have to say

9229s thank you
9231s hey everyone and welcome back to the
9233s calling all heroes Challengers cup two
9235s we are ironing out some interview
9238s details so we will see how that unfolds
9241s momentarily but there is plenty to go
9244s around because double this is the
9246s calling all heroes Challengers cup 2 and
9250s honestly this is a huge initiative from
9254s OverWatch blizzard and the OverWatch
9256s League overall to really share their
9259s their new newer mission that was
9261s released with OverWatch 2 about trying
9263s to build this inclusive and competitive
9266s environment for everyone on the scene
9269s right no limits no restrictions and full
9273s accessibility uh just like free to play
9275s what do you know yeah yeah I mean it
9278s definitely lines up with kind of the
9280s overall Vision I think that that has
9282s been coming alongside OverWatch 2 of
9285s like let's let's bring this to the
9286s people let's really like put this in
9288s everyone's hands and see what everyone
9290s can do with it
9292s um and I mean it's it's a mission really
9294s that is more necessary now perhaps than
9296s ever oh yeah you know in sense of like
9298s it's very important to create
9300s communities like this where everyone
9302s feels safe and comfortable to compete at
9305s their highest possible level and like
9307s see what they can do right this is a
9309s supplement
9311s um in in many ways to the path to Pro it
9313s is its own distinct thing but it also
9315s provides that opportunity for you to
9316s like take the first steps that lead you
9319s totally path
9320s um so so seeing this kind of pop up and
9323s be as successful as it's been and to see
9325s all these people really take that
9327s opportunity and run with it and realize
9328s that they love it and that this passion
9330s is has been inside of them this whole
9332s time like that's what it's all about
9335s that's what OverWatch is here for so
9338s seeing that kind of proliferate after
9340s having been following this game since
9342s closed beta right oh man back in the
9346s days where there's the you know five-man
9349s res and you just graze the tail of the
9352s Hanzo dragons and you're dead right away
9354s right yeah yeah symmetra used to give
9356s Shields to everyone oh
9358s yeah I forgot about armor packs all that
9362s stuff way back in the day I've been here
9364s for it all right I was I was here at the
9366s first monthly melee I was here at the
9368s first event at blizzard Arena like all
9370s right all of that yeah yeah history Flex
9373s I'm an old man
9375s um just all it's called wisdom and
9377s experience FYI thank you thank you so
9380s you get it you got it but all of that
9382s really just to say like OverWatch has
9384s come such a long way but at its core it
9387s has always been this inspirational
9389s aspirational totally game well look at
9392s the characters right yeah they are
9395s extremely diverse and they created the
9398s Swatch of characters with that intention
9401s of making sure there is an inclusivity
9403s element with you know not just uh
9406s different areas of the world the
9408s characters are represented at from but
9410s we have completely different species and
9413s we have people with all different types
9415s of abilities and mindsets and states and
9419s I mean it is it is the epitome of what
9423s OverWatch was wanting to do from day one
9425s as far as show us gaming is for everyone
9428s there's no restrictions and they are
9430s here to provide that and you know you
9433s mentioned the calling all heroes running
9434s parallel to the path to Pro and I think
9438s that's really important to highlight
9439s because it's not replacing path to Pro
9441s it is an additional road to allow people
9445s to journey through similar avenues like
9448s path to Pro and reach the pro level and
9452s I think it's important to know that
9453s that's another opportunity another door
9456s for more feeder programs for Esports to
9459s grow in general and you know it's not
9462s just the calling all heroes Challengers
9464s cups that are available right blizzard
9466s also initiated their Caster Camp as well
9470s thibol
9471s um I got to actually go to that for the
9474s first day or not I was gonna say how did
9477s that go because I've been casting for a
9479s bit like the Caster Camp was not
9480s necessarily built for me but to see
9483s someone who's kind of like had that
9485s perspective of like that's a thing that
9486s I want to go to and then experienced it
9488s like what was that like for you you know
9491s I had no idea really what to expect
9493s going in as someone who you know has
9496s been broadcasting for a couple years and
9498s am broadcasting in big events like this
9502s but all in all I gotta say I was a
9504s really impressed with what we saw from
9507s Zoe and reinforce and Mr X and necra as
9511s well they really went into the
9514s fundamentals of casting and what it
9517s means mentally to be a broadcaster and
9520s to be a host or work at the desk and
9522s there's really a significant difference
9524s between
9526s narrating the action and this and
9529s telling a story about the action
9531s unfolding and you know you know for sure
9534s dude it takes a long time to truly
9537s understand and refine that skill
9540s um I think it's also important to note
9542s that you know there are some hard fast
9544s rules okay as far as like you want to
9547s speak properly into your mic you want to
9549s have a you know relatively polished
9551s presentation but they were also really
9554s adamant to you know remind us that
9557s I call these more like a you know pirate
9560s code guidelines right some things you
9563s want to do regularly and be mindful of
9565s and aim for but at the end of the day
9568s you need to read the situation and
9570s that's the hard part that's the grind
9572s and all the experience that we put in to
9575s try and understand and read so we know
9577s that timing and uh you know good luck to
9580s everybody who is continuing to
9582s participate in that because they're
9584s getting their reels uh they you know
9586s they had a little demo come through and
9588s the members who were hosting the Caster
9591s Camp are going to review people
9594s broadcasting and doing it maybe for the
9597s first time ever so
9599s I was really excited to see such a big
9602s opportunity for the marginalized genders
9604s to pretty much have a direct line of
9609s credible wisdom and experience to start
9612s off in Esports in general
9615s yeah speaking from experience that is
9617s more valuable perhaps than anyone could
9619s ever realize it is insane how useful
9622s that can be and if any of this sounds
9624s good to you the viewer out there yes
9627s looking at you you specifically if
9630s you're interested in learning more about
9632s that or joining the calling all heroes
9634s community on a grander scale becoming
9636s part of something a little bigger than
9638s yourself perhaps we have a handy link
9640s over at calling allheroes.gg there's a
9643s Discord community that you can join
9644s there's plenty of people on Twitter who
9646s would love to chitter chat with you
9648s about all things OverWatch like
9651s literally all things people are obsessed
9653s out there I would know I've been here
9656s for forever so calling allheroes.gg if
9659s you'd like to learn a little more about
9661s how to get into this yourself about what
9663s we're doing why we're doing it why it's
9665s some very very very important but in the
9669s meantime we were actually not able to
9670s Source an interview from our last game
9672s which is all good they've got plenty of
9674s other things to do plenty of things to
9675s celebrate and prepare for and all that
9677s jazz so we're going to take a one more
9680s little break before getting into our
9681s final game of the Swiss rounds and of
9684s the day so thank you very much for
9685s sticking with us and we will be right
9687s back

10651s hi folks and welcome back to the calling
10653s all heroes Challengers cup we've got the
10657s kitty cat over here on the mic with
10659s thibil dork and um waffles for Sid and
10662s we are about to hop into our third map
10665s actually of a round robin five we're
10668s gonna see um sorry thibil remind me of
10670s the two teams we're hopping into so we
10672s so we've got ethereal versus dark
10674s monkeys so we've got some two two of
10677s basically the top teams right now duking
10679s it out in a decider and we are about to
10682s jump in live on the action oh yeah well
10685s in darkness and there's a cat yeah
10688s everyone loves the cats we actually saw
10690s him do the cutest little stretch earlier
10692s in the broadcast I saw it I know
10694s everyone I know all you guys saw it too
10696s uh but you know I'm pretty excited to
10699s see this matchup dark monkeys were quite
10703s the team when they announced they were
10705s going to be participating in this
10707s Challengers cup too and I think they've
10710s kind of been unofficially dubbed the
10712s content creator team if that's correct
10715s yeah very much the stream team so I'm
10717s excited to see
10719s yeah oh so uh we're getting some updates
10721s from production uh it is currently 1-1
10724s Timeless one math number two where it's
10727s been back and forth right now much yeah
10729s much the same way as last series right
10732s you post the meme about losing control
10735s you turn around you win the next map so
10737s we are on a decider right now just
10739s waiting to get dropped into that but
10741s wanted to let you guys know kind of the
10743s stakes of what are going on this is
10744s another one of those High Caliber games
10746s that probably going to be a decent
10748s preview of our round of 16 coming up
10751s tomorrow uh starting off uh right
10754s between rounds thank you very much for
10755s that one right at the start of the map
10758s looking at this right
10760s um similar compositions on both sides at
10763s the moment Dart monkeys of course are in
10765s spawn I don't care what they have out
10767s right now don't do it to yourself yeah
10769s yeah we're not going to waste the time
10771s talking about that uh though anything of
10773s course is possible
10775s um and yeah just reminders to
10777s reconstitute everybody some big names on
10779s both sides here we've got SK and Aspen
10782s probably the most well-known over honors
10784s again yeah kind of that content creator
10787s Team Air quotes but also just like
10789s fantastic players just a really good set
10792s of scenes on both sides here so I'm
10794s excited to see how this goes immediately
10796s though time was Superior stepping up
10799s yeah well you also mentioned um those uh
10802s you know big name streamers barcode
10803s herself is a pretty big one I've seen a
10806s handful of times right it yeah wait for
10810s it and process you it for a moment there
10812s um
10813s clever clever isn't she yeah so far
10817s though time was eternal not uh I'm sorry
10819s Timeless ethereal man I keep doing that
10822s holding trying to break through this uh
10826s jeez I am so confused getting dropped
10828s into this they're holding the defensive
10830s here around this corner Dart monkey
10832s starting to pop off SK taking control of
10835s this map the tempo is insane look at the
10838s chase down coming through
10840s and I mean and this is what you're
10841s looking for yeah there you go this is
10844s what you're looking for at that high
10845s level right is that ability to
10847s immediately flip the switch immediately
10849s hit the gas like that Tempo control and
10852s that awareness of
10854s all right we got picked we're gonna take
10856s this slow We're not gonna overextend
10857s we're not going to try and force this
10858s okay we're back at full strength go go
10861s go go go go right
10863s um I mean again looking at two teams
10865s like this playing at the highest level
10866s this is what you need to be seeing so as
10870s we're heading towards our our next fight
10872s here the point was very close to being
10873s captured already pretty even on
10875s ultimates on either side but Aspen
10876s coming online with that consuming Rush
10879s doesn't matter too much but partly going
10880s down but maybe they can clutch this out
10882s they are trying to continue winning this
10885s fight even though they are a player down
10887s a sound barrier here popped by a jam is
10890s going to be really tough for Dart
10891s monkeys to push into since they don't
10893s have the advantage now aramore goes
10896s ahead pops the Kitsune Rush on top of it
10898s that is a great defensive hold here for
10901s Timeless ethereal and they get to
10904s continue holding on to the Primal Rage
10907s great little short hop tech there from
10909s Santana getting that extra burst damage
10911s in just from The Landing itself comboed
10914s with the melee nice little way to finish
10916s off a Reaper before that lifesteal makes
10918s that uh an unwinnable fight for you I
10920s wish I did that more often when I played
10922s uh take your notes folks that's what
10925s we're here for we're learning from the
10926s best uh ultimates online for both sides
10929s here the same ultimate's actually very
10931s similar or I should not say that because
10933s sk's got the sound barrier and jam does
10935s not
10936s um three ultimates on both sides let's
10939s do that
10940s stuff's on the order of the team so
10942s don't you even fret so far zermit cause
10945s ahead opens up with the death Blossom
10947s after he's been reinforced by the sound
10949s barrier from SK Dart monkeys has the
10952s momentum but are they about to be
10954s stalled out here by Santana's Primal
10956s Rage they have the numbers they need and
10958s oh a lot of damage chunked into Jim just
10962s now our Amore comes through trying to
10964s make hero Blaze and really it's at the
10966s end of this first checkpoint potential
10969s Timeless really wants to prevent this
10971s cap but Dart monkeys knows how critical
10973s it is there's only 46 seconds left on
10975s the clock and they're they're getting
10977s desperate right this is heading to the
10979s point where if you lose this fight you
10981s do not have a lot of time to get back
10982s together and go for one more you only
10985s are going to have the katsune arrest
10986s coming online aramore already popping
10988s theirs already just filling for that
10989s aggression wants to keep uh dark monkeys
10992s playing on the back foot with less time
10994s though of course now art monkeys with
10997s the advantage on the kitsume rush
10999s um but a little behind on the sound
11001s barrier and pretty much everything else
11003s so it's going to be a fairly neutral
11005s place a lot of pressure on a jam there
11007s he is popping the sound barrier Gonna
11011s Keep Timeless ethereal in this fight as
11012s they try and defensively hold it is
11015s match point for both of these teams to
11017s win this series here and the real
11019s question is who's gonna clutch it out
11021s zermit is so close to that death Blossom
11024s and oh is I'm able to take down Santana
11027s as a result a nice Primal Rage comes
11030s through but dark monkeys still holding
11032s still attacking as much as they can Jim
11035s just clutched it out for his team with a
11037s 3K
11038s the point was capped either way in the
11041s confusion they lost it darn oh yeah I
11044s mean just the the disruption provided
11047s um by moving fish sorry
11050s um is was just enough really just to
11052s kind of
11053s distract disrupt get things moving get
11055s that cart I mean it literally had point
11057s zero one right like a millisecond of
11060s time non-contested was going to get it
11062s through and already ultimate's coming
11064s through thick and fast dark monkeys are
11066s not complacent with having just captured
11068s the point they are willing to spend to
11071s make sure that this cart keeps moving
11072s they have to break through that choke
11074s point otherwise you're in a King's Road
11075s situation where you're just stuck and
11077s stuck and stuck in the gate so they move
11080s it forward now barcode coming online
11081s with the overclock kind of the only
11083s thing that dark monkeys have after that
11084s otherwise it's pretty expensive couple
11086s fights yeah Missouri on the other side
11088s though has an overclock of their own
11089s Santana coming online with that Primal
11091s and aramori with the katsune rush which
11093s she has like every other bite
11095s providing some excellent opportunities
11098s for Timeless materials
11101s there's the Kitsune and Azure goes ahead
11104s and takes down barcode opening the fight
11107s that means barcode cannot pop their own
11110s railgun overclock and as a result of
11113s Timeless ethereal going to go ahead
11115s defensively hold with only giving up the
11118s Kitsune and now there's one minute left
11120s and that is absolutely the most
11122s important part of all of that is that
11124s aramore only needed to use the kitsume
11126s rush for them to secure that fight
11127s thanks to just the neutral pick from
11130s Missouri so now you've got everything
11132s else online this consumer arrest doesn't
11134s bother you too much is there any already
11136s just like yeah sure pop it I'll just
11138s kill everybody yeah even almost falling
11141s very very low there the resources being
11144s kept in to these supports from these
11146s support lines have absolutely been
11148s critical dark monkeys knows this is
11150s their last chance to push and it is all
11153s on the line if they want to win this
11154s series you've got one shot you've got
11156s two ultimates Timeless ethereal on the
11158s other side that death Blossom and that
11160s sound barrier need to be the thing that
11162s provide enough
11163s wiggle proof to keep barcode from
11166s clutching it out right can you give
11168s enough effective Health can you prevent
11170s the early Tech coming through can you
11172s disrupt the Primal and putting that
11173s Target fast enough and if not
11175s Dire Straits oh what a nice sound
11178s barrier reinforcing Jim through the
11180s death Blossom once again not the first
11183s time we've seen that recipe from that
11185s duo as Timeless ethereal continues to
11187s hold this defensive point there's a lot
11190s of chaos caused by moving fishes Primal
11192s Rage but is it going to be enough to
11194s actually stall out this point the damage
11197s from zermit is turning the tide here for
11200s Dart monkeys Timeless ethereal needs to
11202s be careful it doesn't snowball out of
11204s their control thibil certainly they want
11206s to avoid a snowball but they also have
11207s the time to come back for me
11210s yo with those staggers I highly doubt
11213s they will try and recontest this at all
11214s I certainly wouldn't recommend it
11216s personally but hey they're better than
11218s me we're gonna see what happens we have
11219s some people already setting up right
11221s there at that choke point but barcode is
11223s ready barcode knows exactly what's going
11225s on here they're gonna hold that
11227s it looks like yeah they are okay they
11229s are going to try and come out all right
11231s right here 3.31 meters and looks like
11234s barcode's just gonna put the nail in the
11236s coffin takes aramori's head clean off
11239s while zermit follows up with the rest of
11241s the damage Dart monkeys caps the second
11243s checkpoint and now they have 124 on the
11246s time bank and that little wiggle room
11248s they were wanting zimmerit has just been
11251s like
11252s wiggling down the halls and just like
11254s getting the cleanup getting the raw
11255s damage down as everyone else kind of
11257s goes for the flashy positions and the
11259s flashing moves and stuff he's just
11261s walking up and shooting people but he's
11263s reaping you know he comes in from the
11265s side he's got the two shotguns he's very
11266s useful and then he can race to bail
11269s himself out just uh willy-nilly through
11271s any damage so yes yeah yeah his his
11275s whole but like zemrick's entire flow
11276s right now is very focused on just like I
11279s am just the janitor I am just here to
11281s get the job done and go home like let's
11283s just get this done and it's working very
11285s well for them dark monkeys are clutching
11287s out when they need to and a lot of that
11289s is off of zembroke's damage in addition
11291s to all the flashier bits that we've been
11293s saying and now uh has been subscribe
11296s monkey's really stressing out all their
11298s fans here saving it for just the last
11300s minute it's the longest sound barrier
11303s cast in existence possibly took SK
11305s forever does finally manage to get it
11308s cast it off and then Dart monkeys
11310s continues to push on forward moving fish
11313s taken out by the death Blossom at the
11317s end of the day Timeless ethereal gonna
11319s be able to get the momentum back in
11321s their favor hold this defensive point
11323s just before the last moment and a force
11326s out of the death blossoms from Dart
11327s monkeys that is nice to see two seconds
11330s left and it's gonna be a nice hold
11333s coming through here from Timeless
11335s ethereal before the third checkpoint
11338s civil that's a very tangible win
11341s condition right as we've said once
11344s before today the line has been drawn in
11346s the sand for this map and this series
11348s when mistakes have frankly never been
11351s higher these teams want to establish
11353s themselves as the top dogs early on
11356s aramore has already said we are here to
11358s make a statement we are here to prove
11360s ourselves capable yeah Dart monkeys big
11363s names on that team Aspen has been in
11365s contenders for a long long time SK as
11369s well barcode as well these are names
11371s that we know
11372s you know all the names on dark monkeys
11374s frankly are known and they deserve to be
11378s where they're at but that doesn't mean
11380s they're going to get where they are
11381s unchallenged so this is definitely the
11385s spot where Timeless ethereal need to
11387s turn it up run that style they've been
11389s running get Santana up there in the
11391s front line get Jim doing gym things yeah
11394s aramore popular Kitsune Rush every 30
11397s seconds like these are things we know
11399s they are capable of
11400s but now is the time to stand
11403s well and if they managed to we've seen
11406s them already come through and reverse
11407s sweep a series right I'm gonna go out
11410s here on a limb and say Timeless ethereal
11413s is not the strongest on control and you
11417s know in the first to two series that's
11419s really detrimental when you always start
11421s out on control but as we progress
11424s through towards tomorrow I could see
11425s that maybe they have a significant shift
11427s in how well they're consistently
11429s performing when we move to more maps
11431s away from controls more regularly so far
11434s though it's going to be all dark monkeys
11436s trying to hold this defensive point very
11438s very close right they want to burn as
11440s much time off the clock as possible it's
11442s a strategy we've seen regularly here at
11445s Route 66. since Hannah's gonna pick
11447s Aspen off early and with the support off
11450s the table for Dart monkeys that's a lot
11453s of opportunity for Timeless to go ahead
11454s and push forward since the
11456s sustainability is not there Jim goes
11459s down but Santana gets barcode and with
11461s the spawn Advantage Timeless ethereal
11463s still look to make some progress right
11466s yeah I mean you don't need the cleanest
11468s wind you just need to gradually chip
11469s away and let the spawn event do the rest
11472s so already they are making progress on
11474s that even as they get traded out right
11476s some are still doing the work
11478s as they're getting back into this fight
11480s it's going to keep moving fish
11483s is all staggered late and SK yeah yeah I
11487s mean at the very least they get
11488s staggered pretty close together so
11490s they'll get taxi back they'll go pretty
11492s quick they will certainly have another
11493s fight before the point is captured maybe
11495s a couple more
11497s um but even so right like you burn some
11499s time off that clock for sure but now you
11502s still have a lot Asylum left to do
11504s ultimates coming online on both sides
11505s he's got zimmerit ahead in the reaper
11507s battle who's been doing his custodian
11509s work you know but Santana already coming
11511s on one with the Primal aramore already
11513s with that coil ahead of Aspen and Marco
11516s getting that opening kick on the gym is
11517s huge aramore has been crushing it on
11521s this tier to go and well unfortunately
11523s she gets crushed herself does get taken
11526s down before the Kitsune Rush can be used
11528s Dart monkeys doing a good job of
11531s defensively holding on this most recent
11533s push but it's going to be a little bit
11535s of a different story there's going to be
11537s a lot more resources available for
11539s Timeless especially those support
11541s ultimates and those can be tide turning
11544s resources
11546s yeah and I mean and a quick a quick
11548s shout out here before we get into the
11550s next fight both of these winstons are
11551s playing the lights out just the the tech
11553s from the primals that I've seen from
11555s Santana already all day has been
11558s phenomenal removing fish is equally
11560s holding their arms putting in the work
11562s doing winter things but never mind
11564s zamrit zamrich said I'm not custodian
11566s anymore dude I am the main character
11569s and it's a good decision by Santana
11572s there to just bail off the map it's a
11574s little bit less it's less value for Dart
11577s monkeys on the damage front on the
11579s ultimate charging front and well they
11582s got out with their resources still they
11583s did commit sound barrier but
11586s yeah but I mean that's if that's the
11588s only loss and you're still walking out
11590s of this with your Kitsune rush in both
11592s PPS ultimates
11593s you're all right yeah you have an
11595s advantage still in terms of ultimates
11596s you want to try and pull that sound
11597s barrier from possible losing Azure early
11601s is maybe not the way oh that's good use
11603s Is It Anyway okay well Azure did uh go
11606s down with the overclock on the line
11608s death Blossom from gym doesn't find any
11610s kills even though it's along the Kitsune
11613s alley Jam goes down from a beautiful
11615s railgun shot from barcode and well
11618s gravity makes you predictable my friend
11620s and she's the last person you want to be
11622s challenging in the air like that
11625s yeah I mean people like this are going
11628s to hit their shots if you're just
11629s falling right there's a reason you see
11631s players as they fall like whip their
11634s camera around like they know they know
11637s what everybody else knows so just great
11640s Tech coming through ruling that was
11642s weird I would love to have seen that in
11644s the first person that on the kill feed
11645s is a strange thing to see but also hey
11648s hey we're having fun
11650s um already Dart monkeys here just
11651s stepping back on the back foot there's
11653s eight seconds left they don't
11654s necessarily need to be super aggressive
11655s they can let this come to them attack
11657s this at full
11659s strengthsune rush and just jump in
11661s whenever you want well have fun pushing
11663s into Aspen's kitsu name Rush Timeless
11665s ethereal trying to do their best to
11666s sustain they did manage to take down
11668s moving fish amongst all this chaos and
11671s well zemra is looking and hunting to try
11673s and put pressure here underneath big
11675s Earls it looks like Timeless ethereal
11677s slowly pulling away here in the kill
11680s feed there's another one to go and with
11682s that at the last possible second one
11685s again Timeless ethereal looking to cap
11688s this first point
11690s I mean just the if this wasn't at an
11693s already high level of play you might
11695s call something like this like Mindless
11697s aggression right like it doesn't matter
11699s how far down we are we have no choice
11701s anyway there's no time in the bank good
11703s use everything you've got and sometimes
11705s when you play like that you unlock like
11707s a whole new level right like to go even
11710s further Beyond well they're definitely
11713s pass your limits and you can uh unlock
11715s new potential but does every anime teach
11717s us right exactly we're having some anime
11720s moments here folks for sure and now time
11722s was ethereal stepping up with five
11724s ultimates to back dark monkeys are gonna
11726s have a few of their own but at the end
11728s of the day this is still an advantage
11730s performance they can also spread these
11732s out and make it work across multiple
11733s fights because they had a lot of paths
11735s left to push and has been getting that
11737s early pick on two is right it's going to
11738s complicated
11740s okay once again Timeless ethereal
11743s doesn't care that they're a man down
11745s harnessing their inner San Francisco
11746s shock to the core trying to take on Dart
11749s monkeys regardless of a player it's not
11752s unfolding the way they would like
11753s because barcode absolutely destroyed on
11756s that last play a beautiful hat trick one
11759s after another no breaks needed for that
11762s highlight reel Sybil so tunnels ethereal
11765s we're certainly feeling themselves in
11767s that moment definitely made the call to
11769s spend absolutely everything except the
11771s overall which I couldn't have been sent
11773s because she was walking back from Spawn
11775s exactly right you know if Missouri was
11778s there that probably would have been
11778s popped too because you never know and
11780s maybe that would have made the
11781s difference but that's not the reality
11782s we're living in dark monkeys now online
11784s with a couple ultimates plenty of
11786s defensive positioning available to them
11787s in Missouri has their work cut out
11790s that was a good chunk of damage thrown
11792s but it's not gonna be enough there's so
11794s much pressure here being thrown out by
11796s moving fish during the Primal Rage it
11799s does pretty much negate all of azure's
11801s potential for being aggressive and
11803s pushing forward while using that
11804s overclock now Timeless ethereal has to
11807s go ahead and push the point pretty much
11809s all natural no ultimates online for
11812s either team at this moment but pushing
11814s through under this bridge could be
11816s absolutely critical this pepper damage
11819s and a beautiful Boop from SK forcing
11821s ethereal off of this High Ground is
11824s going to give them the advantage they're
11825s looking for barcode takes down Jam as a
11828s result and now Dart monkeys is
11830s reinforced with the sound barrier SK
11832s says pull the trigger let's go four
11835s seconds left can anyone from ethereal
11837s touch
11844s yeah at the end of the day Dart monkeys
11847s doing a fantastic job on this defense
11849s and coming through to win the series
11852s here for their Swiss round five
11856s they needed it most right like that was
11858s looking pretty contentious there for a
11859s bit but that hold as well as just like
11861s the the constant lack of fear you know
11865s like I I would love to hear those calms
11868s because I'm sure it was just like come
11869s on come on we're better than them just
11871s walk go go go go go go go go go yeah
11873s everybody press all your buttons right
11874s that was all those fights were very like
11877s we we just lost somebody whatever man
11880s I'm hitting sound barrier let's go it
11882s doesn't matter Jenkins yeah yeah
11885s literally just like we do not care we
11888s are better than them and playing again
11890s with that senseless confidence that I've
11892s been talking about that isn't senseless
11894s it's just like we can clutch this out if
11896s we believe in the heart of the cards or
11898s whatever you know so
11900s that energy I think from dark monkeys is
11902s is crucial really yeah and for Timeless
11904s ethereal who are talking about like we
11906s want to send a message we want to show
11907s that we've been working hard and
11909s practicing and everything like that you
11911s really have the Unstoppable force and
11913s the immovable object right right there
11915s right because like you're putting in all
11917s this time but at the end of the day if
11919s they're just gonna bum rush you no
11920s matter what that's something you have to
11923s respect so Lessons Learned on both sides
11926s for sure well I mean the blitz technique
11928s or the full court press it's very common
11931s and a lot of times when people are
11934s presented with so much pressure
11937s constantly they actually can't get their
11939s footing to stabilize and gear up for a
11943s real team fight because you're
11944s constantly peppering them getting picks
11947s and pretty much instigating before
11950s they're even set up right and that is
11953s that's where we see the Snowballs roll
11955s through from these teams especially on
11958s these you know payload-oriented Maps
11961s um I'm looking forward to seeing how
11963s Timeless ethereal really walks away from
11966s that from that match tomorrow I suspect
11969s that we will see them moving on through
11971s both of these teams moving on through to
11974s tomorrow but will we see them actually
11976s encounter each other again is something
11978s yeah we'll see how the cards fall but I
11981s am really hopeful that we do get a
11983s chance to watch that oh yeah yeah I
11986s think this has the opportunity to be
11987s like a true top tier Contender match you
11992s know both of these teams obviously
11993s probably pretty favored to make top four
11995s you know it's hard to say that actually
11998s with how many good teams there I suppose
12000s that's true
12001s six on that just because there's a good
12004s there's a good flu here there certainly
12007s is yeah I I know that this this
12009s tournament in particular has been super
12011s super competitive at that top level and
12014s that top four is not guaranteed
12016s I'll maybe make the call that I think
12017s Dart monkeys at least can do it okay I
12020s think Timeless Timeless there's
12022s obviously a chance right they're proving
12024s to be one of our upper level contenders
12025s but like you said there's a few of those
12027s out there and only four can advance I
12030s think they have the chance though right
12031s like their whole thing is like we review
12033s we practice practice practice we're
12035s talking about this we are a thinking
12037s Gamers team and there is an opportunity
12039s there for teams with that sort of like
12042s focus on strategy to turn around and
12044s give us all new looks different flavors
12046s of their existing looks like they've got
12048s the time to develop as they go and get
12051s stronger as the tournament carries on
12054s um that's obviously just some work that
12055s they got to put in right now so uh well
12058s and putting in work against a team like
12060s Dart monkeys right we are we already
12063s talked about how these are really well
12065s known players in the community
12067s especially based off of a lot of their
12069s content they've done they are some uh
12072s pretty uh nasty Specialists as far as in
12075s their own field and I think that you
12078s know that's really gone a long way for
12080s them
12081s obviously Synergy is not a problem
12084s because they are on point for this match
12087s and they have been for the whole series
12089s dude it's pretty shocking and
12092s eye-opening to me because it really
12094s shows the base level of skill that all
12097s of them have and they're like well we're
12100s playing the game right the Synergy seems
12102s easy as a result yeah yeah like
12105s everything just kind of falls into place
12106s to them another Perfect Storm as we've
12109s been saying so yeah I mean we'll we'll
12111s see if that storm continues or not right
12113s there's still a couple there an a game
12115s left to play today and obviously the
12118s rounds of 16 starting tomorrow
12120s um in the meantime though
12122s oh I am hearing that we have Aspen on
12125s the line if production is cool I think
12127s we can just throw directly to that
12128s interview and get it started if you'd
12130s like to kick us off waffles
12132s there we go hey Aspen welcome to the
12135s interview Booth congratulations on your
12138s win how are you doing
12140s I'm doing great yeah it feels good to
12142s win so you know
12145s better yeah winning winning does feel
12147s better than losing I have heard
12149s absolutely well you absolutely crushed
12152s it on the kiriko here today
12156s um what is what was it like what's the
12158s mindset of the team kind of moving into
12160s this tournament you know you guys are
12162s all really well known uh both for your
12165s own personal communities that you've
12167s built and in the OverWatch Community as
12169s a whole and you know what kind of
12172s pressure does that put on you guys
12174s well so we're originally a pug team I
12176s just I just kind of said yes like I
12179s wanted to play this originally but like
12180s scheduling is really hard so you know
12183s we're all very positive the comms are
12185s nice and then we just got the best coach
12187s in the world so oh it's kind of
12189s dominating you know yeah we got Jake
12191s OverWatch like he's behind us at all
12193s times literally like he has a tire
12194s behind us it's really helpful uh he's
12197s literally in your house with a rip tire
12199s that's wild yeah no he is if I turn on
12201s Camp right now you would see him
12203s terrifying actually the imposing force
12206s uh making sure everyone stays in check
12208s yeah you're kidding I mean so so how's
12212s that gone have you worked with Jake
12213s before is this like a kind of a new
12215s Venture for you both and like what is he
12218s bringing to the team in terms of your
12219s your preparation and strategy
12221s uh I have an hours with Jake before you
12223s know I mean I know I knew him uh never
12226s really got coaching from him though or
12228s you know
12229s just played in ranked but he is actually
12231s really good I've learned a lot about
12233s Kirko I'm a main sport player I don't I
12235s don't play flux for characters so
12237s jumping into kiriko with like help from
12239s a good coach is really nice so
12243s that's been clean
12245s well if uh Avatar taught us anything
12247s it's that uh everyone needs a master and
12251s honestly it's great to hear that you're
12253s starting to Branch into that and you've
12255s had so much success on kiriko herself
12258s you were in a cute ass cosplay actually
12260s a grand final of kiriko if I recall
12263s correctly
12265s um so make sure everyone checks out
12266s Aspen's Twitter so you can make see that
12268s uh nice get up she had on I made it well
12272s I designed a jacket and then I um had
12276s someone sew it for me since I'm not
12277s talented in that but yeah excellent you
12280s know there's two different talents to
12282s execute and to invent and uh props to
12285s you on that front that was
12287s folks definitely check out Aspen's
12289s Twitter and see her kiriko cosplay it

12321s think it's gonna be a lot of fun
12322s you know I I just I just want to have
12324s fun you know when which I think
12328s you know there you go
12330s yeah that was that was going to be my
12332s question anyways see obviously you guys
12333s are coming in with a lot of confidence
12335s and you know is it safe to say you
12336s consider yourselves the top dogs of this
12338s tournament because we were hearing some
12340s similar stuff from RM so I kind of want
12342s to see what you think obviously now that
12344s this game has gone the way it's gone
12345s right
12347s yeah I mean for sure there's actually
12349s like a lot of good teams like the team
12351s we just played right now it was really
12353s it was really down to the wire like on
12355s some fights and the map before you guys
12357s didn't see but like it was crazy close
12358s so there's definitely a lot of good
12360s players and teams
12362s absolutely okay well we won't keep you
12365s here any any longer anyone in particular
12367s that you want to shout out uh especially
12370s if they have a rip Tire directly behind
12372s you or anything
12375s shout out junkrat
12377s true
12379s yep yep that's the right answer right
12383s there shout out junkrat
12385s oh awesome thank you so much Aspen enjoy
12388s the win go get another well I'm sure
12390s we'll see you tomorrow thanks very much
12393s thank you
12395s uh shout out to the junkrat nice uh
12400s it was it was so I respect that no need
12403s to smooth too hard no no no one wants a
12405s brown noser right
12407s well I gotta say I was excited to at
12410s least see a little bit of Dart monkeys
12412s you know we saw them play yesterday and
12416s uh let's see they played up against
12417s number one on over buff with a clean 2-0
12420s sweep and number one on over buff was a
12424s big competitor for our first
12425s Challenger's cup now they're actually
12428s down here on number rank number seven so
12431s we'll have to see you know what unfolds
12434s for their final round the dark monkeys
12436s are at the top of the leaderboard with
12439s the perfect and pristine record of five
12442s zero thibil and that's someone to be
12444s gunning for
12446s right yeah I mean we talk about Top Dogs
12448s the last remaining undefeated team has
12450s to be in that conversation time was
12452s ethereal I mean Aspen did mention that a
12455s lot of those were very close to the
12456s lawyer Pursuit and Altera Nimbus
12458s maintaining their foreign one as well as
12460s ban on chalky milk and night witches
12464s um and then I mean just in general right
12466s we're getting closer and closer to a
12467s crystallization of the top 16. but I
12471s mean it's anyone's game at this point if
12473s any of these three and twos lose their
12475s last game and if some of our two and
12478s threes win you start getting into
12480s tiebreaker scenarios where you have to
12482s look at well who's really in the top 16
12485s out of all those teams right right it's
12487s gonna get real interesting real fast
12489s with that right well and I remember
12491s seeing a tweet actually from Bailey
12494s going into some details around how those
12497s ties are determined and how the rankings
12500s are established based off of teams who
12502s have the same scores and you know they
12504s go into the details and and analyze okay
12507s who were those opponents that they
12509s played against and how does that weigh
12512s into their overall score and ranking
12514s it's round robin right so there's a lot
12517s of
12518s chance involved with some of these
12520s initial qualifier matches and who you're
12522s gonna play and you know establish your
12525s ranking going into the playoffs now uh I
12529s am excited to see our next match up
12531s thibil we're going to go into our Swiss
12533s round six and we're actually going to
12535s see the Vancouver Titans blue team go up
12538s against fruit salad and uh well
12541s Vancouver Titans blue is the team that
12544s Vancouver Titans established after
12547s seeing you know Challengers cup one and
12549s wanting to get involved and create their
12552s own team to enter so there's a lot of
12555s eyes on them especially considering the
12558s fact that they have so many resources
12560s and uh well they hold the name of
12563s Vancouver Titans that itself is a lot of
12565s responsibility civil right that sends a
12567s message yeah this org believes that we
12571s have what it takes and right now I mean
12573s you could maybe say they're on a bit of
12575s a back foot but they are one of those
12576s teams that is far away from out of it
12579s they have the opportunity to bring this
12581s back to show that they deserve to be in
12583s that top 16. make a run go crazy with it
12586s have some fun at the very least you know
12588s and I agreed I'm very excited to see
12590s what they can do I I think the the name
12592s and support of an organization is no
12594s small thing oh and for the Titans to
12597s step up and be like boom there you go
12599s there's a team we're sending it like
12601s that tells you something so very excited
12604s to see how that goes
12606s um in the meantime I believe we are
12609s setting up oh we actually don't even
12611s need to throw to a break the players are
12612s currently ready well what do you know so
12615s I'm good to go if you're good to go
12616s you're good to go well our first map to
12618s go to is Busan right of course back to
12621s control folks no one's surprised but at
12624s least we are going to a change of pace
12627s we'll roll through hybrid escort push as
12631s per usual following suit but we're gonna
12634s go ahead and take a look at the teams
12636s and their rosters coming up like we
12638s mentioned Vancouver Titans blue versus a
12641s fruit salad oh originally they had a
12644s little uh yummy yummy on there guess we
12646s don't get to see that little you got a
12648s free salad yummy yummy like that's the
12651s whole point
12652s so true but as as we look to Vancouver
12656s Titans blue here you have a team frankly
12659s that I'll admit I don't know too many of
12661s these names but at the same time that's
12663s kind of the whole point that's what this
12665s is for yes it's an opportunity for the
12669s the Aspens and the SKS and the aramores
12671s to get out there and show us that they
12673s got it they're good yeah of course we
12676s all know that already but this is really
12678s for the people who are maybe just
12681s getting started who are maybe just now
12682s getting their first structured
12684s competitive opportunities to show us
12686s what they are truly capable of so I'm
12689s really excited for this because like we
12691s said if an org is going to throw their
12693s name behind you you better show up and
12695s prove that you are worthy of that so
12697s this team here in particular really has
12700s a lot to prove I'm very excited to see
12702s what they can do in our final Swiss and
12705s then on the other side sorry go ahead no
12707s I was gonna say there's a reason we
12709s mentioned earlier that this calling all
12711s heroes challenge cup is running parallel
12714s to the normal or the traditional path to
12718s Pro route that we see and it is to give
12720s these players the opportunity to uh you
12724s know show for show themselves for the
12726s first time that they are here to play
12728s now we've got a fruit salad over here in
12732s the house
12733s um I also am not overly familiar with a
12736s lot of members of this team but I gotta
12739s say I am excited to see them play and uh
12743s well going up against a team like the uh
12746s Vancouver Titans blue has definitely got
12749s to
12749s you know shake your mind a little bit
12751s right test your fortitude actually is
12754s more accurate I don't want to be so bold
12756s is to assume anyone shaken I'm okay with
12759s admitting a test here and there okay
12761s yeah yeah and I mean at this stage of
12763s the game this is your final Swiss round
12765s you're both two and three if you want
12768s any chance at all of making it to
12770s tomorrow I mean we talked about our last
12773s series being a must win this is a must
12774s must must win this is your last chance
12777s to win yeah
12780s is very much winner go home and frankly
12782s even then you're up to a lot of factors
12785s your your hands are kind of in the air
12786s at the end of this either way but you
12789s want to give your best possible showing
12790s you want to go two up you want to step
12792s up you want to dominate here so I'm
12795s looking to see now what these teams do
12798s to establish their dominance on the
12801s field fruit salad yummy yummy I have
12804s their work cut out for them if they want
12806s to step up to again like you mentioned
12808s this team that has this big name behind
12810s them that show that they're Worthy
12812s but can you are are they just saying
12815s like who cares if the Titans like these
12817s guys it's the Titans you know like
12819s there's maybe some mental Trash Talk
12821s going on there to Hype yourself up to
12822s give yourself that mental Edge that's
12824s what I'd be doing it's the Titans guys
12826s come on don't worry I think it's okay
12829s um but even then and on the other side
12830s are the Titan Blues stepping up and
12833s going come on guys they believe in us
12835s now is our chance we're never going to
12836s get a better shot than this right this
12838s is their moment well fruit salad needs
12842s to really harness their uh inner
12844s Hercules here to take on these Titans
12848s and well it's time for them to jump on
12850s the point wow a deletion comes through
12853s nari absolutely on point follows up with
12856s another kill on to Juno and well
12858s Vancouver Titans blue go ahead run away
12861s in the kill feed take this first
12863s possession for themselves and now
12865s they're getting ready to just bombard
12867s fruit salad through these tiny chokes as
12869s they try and re-enter
12871s right yeah I mean that opening pick just
12873s leads to a complete wash a total
12875s snowballing from Vancouver Titans blue
12877s and now they've just had the chance to
12879s set up its control you establish
12881s yourself in a good position you do what
12883s you got to do once you come in through
12884s Juno trying to make an opening happen
12887s right far too Audrey comes in trying to
12890s save and that's not to be well Juno
12892s seems to be going down very early in the
12895s fight and I think that's because of the
12898s focus fire and amount of damage that
12901s Vancouver Titans blue are bringing to
12902s the table nari already has overclock and
12905s Demon is at 55 civil yeah I mean the the
12909s ultimate generation just off of these
12910s two like pretty strongly won fights for
12913s Titan blue it's making itself apparent
12916s right Juno is trying to make the space
12917s trying to do the job but like you said
12920s when there's Focus fire at that caliber
12922s there's not a whole lot you can do at
12923s nari with the overclock already is just
12925s taking people's heads off wow the suzu
12927s was forced out early from both sides but
12929s unfortunately for fruits solid it is
12932s easy pickings for nari on this
12934s overclocked one you have to funnel
12936s through this narrow choke point and well
12939s they already see you walking up the
12940s alleyway There's No Escape and no room
12942s to really find significant cover
12945s right and this is the first fight really
12947s where fruit salad are coming in with any
12949s sort of like actual ultimates or
12951s anything approaching an advantage so
12953s even then Titan blue plenty of tools to
12955s work with but these katsune rushes need
12957s to get something done Juno fell very low
12959s again manages to escape and well is
12962s taken down at the end of the day Titans
12964s blue continuing to throw in resources to
12967s this fight holding down the fort and
12969s with a team kill at 88 Sybil it's going
12972s to be a Mad Dash for fruit salad to
12974s touch the point the kazara was very low
12976s there was almost an opening there for
12978s fruit salad as they used just about
12980s everything demon swapping over to the
12981s Tracer trying to touch Audrey coming in
12983s with the spirit that's just to try and
12984s provide support but elf goes down before
12986s they even really get to the point so
12988s they're not going to have much Presence
12989s at all not a ton of healing but death
12991s Blossom coming out from kitsu that's
12993s probably going to be a wrap on this time
12994s cool yeah that is gonna seal the deal
12997s there for Titans blue and honestly a
13000s really dominant performance coming
13002s through from them for this opening map
13004s of control so a great Tempo start for
13007s them the real question is will that
13010s continue or is fruit salad gonna ripen
13014s up and find their footing hey there we
13016s go the fruit puns let's get them going
13018s folks they can fast think of them help
13020s us out so we're heading over to
13023s Sanctuary here it's very open air we're
13025s probably going to see still very similar
13027s compositions surgeon does just fine here
13030s Reaper does just fine here Winston does
13032s find anyone who's Winston don't worry
13033s about
13035s I mean
13036s looking back at that Mecca base right I
13040s think Mecha base is probably the worst
13042s stage that fruit salad could have drawn
13044s of the three you know the choke points
13047s there are so intense it's so easy to
13049s shift between all the different places
13051s that you can try to make an Ingress and
13053s Titan's blue just had their number all
13055s the way through with this kind of wider
13058s more open air like layout there's maybe
13060s more opportunities for fruit salad to
13062s like set up a flank or get something
13064s cheeky right right you know kind of run
13066s at them and hope that sticks there are
13068s more opportunities
13070s looking real good there's a lot more
13072s open air on this map in general and well
13075s so far Titan's blue seem to be taking
13077s advantage of this Close Quarters room
13079s just like they did on Mecca base right
13081s it looks like they're quite comfortable
13083s here in this chaotic in your face fight
13085s thibble yeah I mean they they love just
13088s kind of running at you you know this
13090s composition some people do call it
13092s banana ball and a brawl composition is
13094s always marked by Your Capacity to run
13096s directly at the other 13's face so
13099s they're having a good time they're
13100s playing this the way they want to play
13101s it they are definitely playing their
13103s game as you say and fruit salad make it
13106s their way around the flake but
13107s immediately about to be met by fazara
13111s huge props to these lucios for us
13114s particularly
13115s Aiken to help Titans blue meat fruit
13120s salad as they try and circle around for
13122s a flank and move to engage they were
13124s right there right on top of fruit salad
13126s immediately with no no room for them to
13130s breathe and once again Titan's blue
13132s still trying to well back off after that
13134s most recent engagement here a late kill
13138s there on to acam and well fruit salad
13140s gonna continue looking to push great
13143s Primal here coming out from kazara you
13145s know I mean what more can you say right
13147s like advantages are abound or Titans
13151s player they have the ultimates online
13152s they're winning the neutral fights
13153s because our with the primer is they're
13155s doing crazy crazy things
13158s um Juno trying I do want to shout out
13159s Juno again because I do really feel that
13161s they are trying their best to create the
13164s openings right that kind of that's kind
13165s of what the Winston's for like I'm gonna
13168s create the space so you guys can walk up
13169s and make something
13170s and he is trying that man that Focus
13172s fire is nasty now it's hiding blue
13175s coming online with four ultimates fruit
13177s salad do you have a few of their own
13178s they're they've got both support old
13180s ultimates online close to the overclock
13182s for demon this could be a chance to turn
13185s it around and frankly at the percentages
13187s that we're at it kind of has to be but
13188s the deck is stacked so this is what they
13191s can do yeah five uh five ultimate
13194s stacked here Titans blue pops a lot of
13197s them to instigate this fight 88 and
13200s Counting four Titan's blue possession
13202s and now kitsu still has that death
13204s Blossom is deleted here by Damon before
13207s he can pop before they can pop it off
13209s and now fruit salad looking to try and
13211s push 99 and they were able to clip and
13215s initiate the overtime bar but they have
13217s got to win this fight if they want to
13219s come back and try to hold this point
13221s right now it is 99 for Titans blue and
13225s in their possession oh Sophie almost
13227s goes down so close but kitsu rips
13231s through him with a death Blossom that's
13233s gonna be the nail in the coffin giving
13235s Titans blue the win here on Busan
13239s yeah I mean just
13240s that was pretty dominant let's be real
13242s that was a that was a pretty good
13244s showing there for Titans blue you can
13245s say there were glimmers of Hope
13247s absolutely like control is crazy you
13250s know this we've been saying this all day
13251s there's always an opportunity to bring
13253s this back and kind of show what you can
13255s do on another map maybe a different
13257s position oh yeah but I mean looking at
13260s the mirror it's pretty clear the Titan
13262s flew has been doing their homework they
13264s know how they want to engage because
13265s Zara has no problem stepping up and and
13268s just being
13269s that gorilla scientist yeah you know who
13272s just walks forward and does their thing
13274s so good showing honestly from Titans
13277s blue very impressed that they were able
13278s to maintain that level all the way
13280s through
13281s I thought that their resource management
13283s of their own ultimates was also very
13285s controlled and they were very
13287s conscientious of you know not over
13290s exerting until closer to the end of the
13292s matches right once we got around that 80
13294s percent capture point we saw them get a
13297s little more relaxed and aggressive so
13299s they could continue staggering out the
13301s members of fruit salad and then
13303s eventually you know go to win the map
13305s themselves so big props over there too
13308s the Titans blue they're Lucio in
13311s particular aquim was just on point in my
13315s opinion enabling them to actually meet
13317s fruit salad on whichever Avenue they
13320s chose to engage on and not just meet
13323s them but meet them immediately after
13326s they had made that decision it was so
13328s fast that I don't even think fruit salad
13329s had a chance to understand and realize
13332s that oh what we thought we were engaging
13336s on is actually them instigating on us in
13339s this other side
13341s which yeah all of Busan was very you are
13344s not I'm not trapped here with you you're
13346s trapped here with me right you know yeah
13348s it had that energy for sure so you know
13351s a great showing here I mean map match
13354s tournament point on the line here for
13357s fruit salad fighting for their lives at
13360s this point but maybe that's the kick in
13361s the pants that they need right maybe
13363s they go for a little pep talk between
13364s maps and turn out something crazy you
13367s know I I do not want to rule them out by
13369s any means this game is not over yet but
13371s Titans blue comfortably in the driver's
13373s seat we'll say right now yeah totally
13376s there and you know it is really about
13378s how these teams harness their different
13381s losses and get themselves fired up right
13384s Michael Jordan talks about how he uses
13386s that to fuel his game and you know bring
13389s the most intense and best quality he can
13392s to really say hey it doesn't matter what
13395s you say and that we lost I'm here to
13397s play and this is how I continue to get
13400s better and continue to always be
13403s competitive and you know I really want
13405s fruit salad to do that especially
13407s against a team like Titans blue right
13410s who is doing very well and
13413s well they carry a big burden with
13415s themselves holding the Vancouver Titans
13418s name so really curious to see what goes
13421s on next we're going over to hybrid for
13423s our next map Sybil so uh you know might
13426s be King's Row as per usual but folks
13429s will have to see what fruit salad picks
13431s and we'll be back in a minute

13617s hello everyone welcome back to calling
13620s all heroes Challengers cup two we are in
13623s the midst of our third series of the day
13626s here we're seeing Vancouver Titans blue
13629s go up against fruit salad uh maybe I
13632s should be saying fruit salad maybe a
13636s little tough one there their team sheets
13638s got a lot of different little markers
13640s over all the letters and uh
13642s well if if they join us in the inner
13644s Booth interview Booth we will definitely
13646s be asking what the proper pronunciation
13649s of their name is I'm sure we'll get a
13652s fantastic answer for that I'm sure that
13655s will be the highlight of our day
13658s oh man looking at a hybrid here for our
13661s second map the pool same as it's been
13665s um statistically let's be real folks
13667s we're going to King's Row but you never
13669s know there's a chance right it's a it's
13671s up anywhere other than Kings Road today
13674s so far we have not okay no we have not
13677s though we don't know where uh dark
13679s monkeys in Timeless ethereal went they
13681s did not specify but hey
13683s a there's a first time for everything we
13685s are going to eichenwald folks I dig it
13687s so many opportunities to really shake
13689s things up the meta composition has
13691s certainly made its presence known there
13693s but there has always been an opening for
13695s affera and Echo a junkrat you know you
13698s you've got some options yes and with
13701s your tournament life on the line man now
13703s is kind of the time if ever you were
13705s going to pull out something weird in the
13707s hopes that it worked if only even for a
13709s fight or two this this would kind of be
13712s it you know content so we'll see if they
13716s decide that though oftentimes I I used
13719s to always wonder why teams wouldn't do
13721s something like that when it's like your
13723s tournament life on the line it's the
13724s last map of the series you've already
13726s lost uh way back in the day when that
13728s could be a thing where you could get 3-0
13730s and still have a map to play
13732s um you know like why not go with
13734s something crazy and honestly the the
13736s answer is usually like either we still
13739s want this practice on what is the
13741s metacom right or we want at the very
13744s least like we still think that this is
13746s our best option like like going crazy
13748s wouldn't necessarily solve anything
13751s um which I can respect like whatever you
13753s put time in on that comp it's the comp
13755s to play you practice it keep going no
13758s matter what
13759s um obviously on the attack here I don't
13762s know if this is what we're getting it
13763s looks fun it looks fun not we're not I
13766s don't even want to go down that rabbit I
13768s mean Korean contenders has been playing
13770s hog I'm just saying that's true that's
13773s true and we have seen a lot of roadhog
13775s actually
13776s um throughout yesterday some and I saw a
13779s bunch last weekend in open division so
13781s you know the road hog forcing out a lot
13784s of early suzus has been pretty
13787s interesting as far as how the tempo and
13789s instigation of fight and its resources
13791s are playing out
13793s um I think there's a lot of potential
13795s here for Vancouver Titans to get picked
13798s early you mentioned throwing them off
13800s their game bringing out something a
13801s little more unexpected Juno on this
13804s roadhog is exactly what the doctor
13806s ordered here that's a nice hook taken
13809s down kazara early Sophia already taken
13813s out of this fight and ooh with the pig
13815s there on to Damon it's going to be
13817s really tough for Titan's blue to push
13819s and kazarus flipped onto the erisa
13822s I didn't realize we started celebrating
13824s Christmas so early it's the 19th of
13827s November this is great I'm digging this
13830s a lot do you know great big potential
13832s the Winston obviously kind of a glaring
13834s weak point because Zara immediately
13835s moves to address the erisa I imagine is
13838s probably a much more sensible answer to
13840s this sort of composition the uh the
13843s amount of work you can do with your job
13845s and everything it really does help anari
13849s of course just hitting all the shots in
13850s the world right now also a pretty decent
13852s food so Adriana this already looks like
13855s it's uh kind of the bridge out but yeah
13858s they're getting some work done
13861s well fruit salad had a really good
13863s opportunity to try and take that
13865s objective just now and I thought they
13866s did a great job trying to capitalize it
13868s knowing that kazara was running back
13871s from Spawn it was going to take some
13873s time but now they have the Kitsune
13875s available and the Nano but pushing into
13878s an overclock from nari here while trying
13881s to push through this small Bridge seems
13884s like a disaster in Waiting that is a
13886s narrow Alleyway that you have to jump
13888s out of and they've been hitting their
13889s shots there's the engagement here and a
13892s wall pushes a sleeved kazara up high for
13895s just a quick moment does go ahead and
13897s stall out them attacking Juno here it is
13900s a chaotic fight in this small room
13902s kazarik drops to four does manage to
13904s stay alive in the end of it nari now at
13907s 18 and these supports from Titan's blue
13909s absolutely clutching it out to keep
13912s their teammates alive literally by the
13915s tiniest of slivers level
13917s wow yeah I mean that that's one of those
13921s where fruit salad goes like come on like
13923s we did that right we slept the erisa we
13926s walled off our engaged window she had
13928s four Health that was they were robbed
13930s like absolutely that's just one of those
13932s where like the finest pixel the single
13936s bullet changes the entire course of that
13938s fight yeah the result is the same no
13941s matter what they still make no progress
13943s on the point they still have a long way
13944s to go and still only a minute I'm 15-ish
13947s to go and Mallory is still hitting those
13949s shots oh man and this is exactly what we
13952s saw from Titan's blue earlier on our
13955s first map right fruit salad was looking
13957s to back off regroup and take a different
13960s angle and what do you know a quim gives
13963s them the speed boost and of course they
13965s continue to capitalize and take down all
13967s the stragglers yeah I feel like Titans
13970s blue really smell the blood in the water
13971s less than a minute on the clock they
13973s have ultimates they have the positional
13975s Advantage I can weld is one of those
13976s where you can absolutely just hold
13978s forward with no worries and if they hold
13981s forward and blues frankly if they're
13983s quick they could still come back not a
13985s lot of time
13989s Sophia has switched over to this pharah
13991s instead they are taken down by nari by a
13994s railgun shot but fruit salad has pushed
13996s onto this point they're slowly capping
13998s it and they took one tick but now
14000s they're losing members there's a good
14002s kill on to kitsu and the real question
14004s is can they continue to sustain
14006s themselves nari is free firing
14008s unhindered and no one's giving them the
14011s time of day that's a problem because
14013s Adrie goes down as a result fruit salad
14015s is still slowly capping this point and
14017s it takes taken down there just at the
14021s end a beautiful Javelin is throne and
14024s kazara goes ahead and takes down another
14025s but fruit salad looking to take this
14028s point in overtime it's a scrappy fight
14030s and with Juno on this roadhog there's a
14032s lot of sustainability for them to
14034s continue using that breather thibil this
14038s is a tough one that looked almost done
14040s for half a second the spirit rushed into
14042s the suzu into the hook immediately
14043s almost brought it back that's even then
14045s even then I think the swaps coming
14047s through from Titan's blue and everything
14048s thing there just wasn't enough in the
14051s tank for fruit salad to fully finish off
14053s this bite
14054s Juno is still getting picked oh my gosh
14057s it's a 1v1 here versus the picture but
14058s the Reaper's coming back the Moira is
14060s also coming back
14062s and Juno versus nari
14065s no four here kids who has death blossoms
14068s are they going to survive long enough to
14070s be able to use it not a chance Juno
14072s takes them down and Juno has the Bull
14074s Hog online if needed looks like they're
14076s talking about it no no dude
14081s Cloud9 Esports is a Esports company
14084s established in 2013 By jackets yeah did
14087s you know that
14088s wow oh that's a heartbreaker because
14091s Juno was doing the work Juno was having
14094s the fight of their life right there else
14096s coming back on the Moira to recontest
14098s Sylvia had swapped to the pharah at one
14101s point it was popping barrage in the
14103s middle of that at the end literally
14105s because Zara swapped over to the
14107s wrecking ball and I think that's
14108s actually what did it I think the
14110s displacement from Spin to Win just
14112s attached to the cart and go was exactly
14115s what they needed to get everyone off the
14116s cart for just that millisecond that they
14118s needed and that's a heartbreaker but
14121s it's not a full hold this is technically
14125s winnable for fruit salad right it's a
14128s it's a it's a hell of a mountain to
14129s climb let's be real folks Fuller hold is
14132s always on the table yes this is the
14135s spirit of Achilles in this Chili's
14137s tonight
14138s I will say one of my other Favorite
14141s Things is uh there's plenty of time in
14143s overtime to choke so you're absolutely
14147s right too Sophia and elf again on the
14150s Pharaoh Mercy coming through trying to
14152s play double dutch over there as I can
14154s see
14155s um this Tower right here in the center
14157s that we're looking at on the right of
14158s the screen now is the perfect place for
14161s Australia to kind of just do her thing
14163s peek around the corner blah blah
14165s Vancouver Titans blue let's see what
14167s they come out with does this Diva stick
14169s I imagine it does that makes sense nari
14171s on the Pharaoh so not opting for the
14173s sojourn where she's been getting so much
14175s work done nari and a Queen instead
14177s opting to go for the straight duel we
14179s are having an honorable 2v2 in the skies
14185s well and this is match point right now
14189s for Vancouver Titans blue fruit salad
14191s needs to bring their a game if they want
14193s to stay in this series they almost had
14196s it there towards the end of the first
14198s point to capture it but that is a nice
14200s early pick onto kitsu it's gonna burn
14202s more time and tights blue Retreat
14205s immediately to regroup after losing that
14208s critical member right I mean they've got
14210s the time don't bother don't get fancy
14212s with it do what you got to do right make
14213s don't happen right away yeah don't
14215s overstay you're welcome absolutely and
14218s kitsu and kazara both making police
14220s swaps here the Alyssa and the Cassidy
14222s Community Juno with that pick potential
14224s though is still going to be a huge
14226s Factor kazara does a lot to mitigate
14228s that with the javelin spin with the
14230s fortify with nari getting started
14231s following up oh no that's a lot of
14235s players out of the game for fruit salad
14238s and pretty much all of them joining suit
14240s as a result both supports were picked
14243s off right away by that Pharmacy and with
14245s no with no sustainability following suit
14247s Titans blue gonna go ahead take this
14250s Victory on eichenwald and take their
14254s Victory here for the final round of the
14256s Swiss rounds
14258s right yeah bringing them up to 3-3
14260s making them possible contenders for that
14262s top 16 window they needed this yeah they
14266s needed this to be as dominant oh a
14268s sharpshooter fair this might be fun yeah
14270s I'm excited to watch this Mari we didn't
14273s see a lot of first person but it was
14274s absolutely beautiful watching that kill
14278s people I know
14279s Ferris doing Fair things man that's the
14282s one here I really wish I could actually
14283s play
14284s uh you know what I agree with you there
14288s all right it's hard enough playing on
14290s the ground but then you add the y-axis
14293s to manage on top of it that doesn't make
14296s any sense I don't have games no no no no
14298s no I play the jewels I'm sorry oh yeah I
14303s mean but what a showing from Titans we
14305s talked about they need to step up they
14307s need to show that they're worthy of this
14308s name worthy of the top 16 worthy to be
14311s here though of course all teams are
14314s perfectly worthy to be here boom
14316s um but like stepping up exactly as they
14319s needed to In This Moment yeah I don't
14321s think we could have asked for much more
14323s for them uh in a game like this in our
14326s sixth Swiss round and now they at least
14329s have a fighting chance to make it
14330s through to tomorrow you have to see
14332s obviously how all the standings shake
14334s out any tiebreaker scenarios that need
14336s to be decided all of that's going to
14337s need to be calculated before we know but
14340s they're certainly in a better position
14341s than they were just a bit ago yeah and
14344s you know I gotta say I think that the
14346s Titans blue are feeling really good
14348s closing out the Swiss rounds on a win
14350s like that with some really clean
14353s fundamental gameplay that they were
14356s bringing to the table as far as moving
14358s around the map meeting their enemy
14360s before they had time to really stage
14362s where they wanted to set up and path
14364s around to their point of attack and
14368s even though Titan's blue one I want to
14371s give I want to go back just a moment
14372s here thibil uh Juno on eichenwald for
14376s fruit salad an absolute beast and
14379s regardless of these results my player of
14382s the match goes to you my friend because
14383s that was some clutch roadhog play coming
14387s through hiding behind the cart barely
14390s getting to take a breather in just in
14393s time for adri to come through and pop
14395s you some heels on the more just a really
14398s really strong clutch effort and moment
14401s in performance from all of you that I
14403s think deserves a lot of recognition
14405s absolutely yeah I mean that that game
14408s required Perfection and fruit salad were
14411s approaching
14412s that level it was really just that one
14414s fight that cracked it open and
14416s unfortunately the margin of error was as
14419s small as it was because in any other
14421s scenario I fully believe fruit salad
14423s could have come back and maintained
14424s their hold or you know set up for a good
14427s streets defense or whatever if that was
14428s the position that they were in and then
14430s the cars just didn't shake out for them
14431s in that way but that doesn't mean they
14433s didn't go out swinging agreed do you
14435s know on the hog
14437s dude that's the good stuff right there
14439s that's something to be proud of
14441s absolutely so yeah agreed well
14443s recognized guys you put in that work
14446s however your name is pronounced oh yeah
14448s well uh and definitely not someone I
14450s want to meet in my quick play games
14453s because that's definitely the only
14454s ranking possible we would ever see each
14456s other yeah please please stay away from
14459s me uh you know good job let me know it's
14461s you and I'll leave right away you don't
14463s have to worry I'll save myself the
14465s trouble I'll save us both the trouble uh
14468s yeah especially if you're uh you know
14470s playing Genji or someone trying to push
14472s into Juno on the road
14474s yeah I'm just gonna take a break that's
14477s that that's my signal to go touch grass
14479s I understand thank you have a good day
14481s right so just as well I mean good effort
14484s on all sides excellent work for
14486s Vancouver Titans blue they're popping
14488s off they're showing that they're worthy
14490s um in the meantime we are going to work
14492s on setting up an interview here in the
14493s next few minutes uh so we will see you

14630s heroes Challengers cup we have the
14634s Victorious nari from the Vancouver
14637s Titans blue team joining us here in the
14639s interview Booth nari hello welcome and
14643s thank you so much for joining us after
14645s your win how are you feeling
14647s uh feeling good uh first two games
14650s weren't great so I'm glad we could
14652s actually close it out with a win
14655s oh absolutely and a beautiful win at
14659s that you guys were pretty much in a flow
14662s state from our perspective and it almost
14664s looked like you could read the future of
14666s where fruit salad was gonna path or try
14669s to attack next and you were already
14671s there before they even hand had a chance
14673s to get set up what uh what kind of went
14676s into that and what was the what were the
14678s comms like
14681s uh comms are uh like sometimes you get
14684s very chaotic in like the like I guess
14688s more competitive matches of but this one
14691s a little less competitive unfortunately
14694s but we cut we went in we kind of had a
14697s reset after our first two games I
14699s personally went on a walk outside to
14701s just like think about how like how I
14705s could like reset myself like think like
14708s hmm I did not feel good that game I
14710s actually like stopped calming in one of
14712s our games so I just I went back in reset
14715s everything just off the table Nothing
14718s Else Matters we just go in we do our
14720s best we play our game
14722s well you guys had a fantastic
14723s performance on that last match and I
14726s think uh you were successful when you
14729s recalibrated and you guys absolutely
14732s brought your A game and you know you
14735s yourself are actually returning to the
14737s challengers cup is that correct
14740s you're on cataclysm before
14743s yeah it's one of the free agent teams uh
14747s we got through the top 16 there as well
14750s I don't know how I don't know if we're
14751s gonna get it here but I know there uh we
14754s got through chapter 16 but got
14756s eliminated first oh well the good news
14759s is after your win just now you guys are
14762s actually in the contenders to act to be
14765s in the top 16 going into tomorrow so you
14769s guys were very clutch and you know did a
14771s fantastic job don't you think thibil
14774s yeah absolutely thanks straw good job
14777s um so I I kind of want to talk about
14778s just kind of how this tournament has
14780s gone as as part of this new team right
14783s or at least some new branding on this
14785s team rolling in as Vancouver Titans blue
14788s you know how does that feel for the
14790s whole Squad to kind of have that name
14792s behind you like is there pressure like
14794s what expectations do you place on
14795s yourself like and what has it been like
14797s working with the Titans
14800s uh it's been really fun uh they held
14803s some trials back like I think last month
14805s or something I don't remember exactly
14808s but
14809s um I did really well on those they hit
14812s me up saying hey you're good please join
14814s us basically uh that's a good message to
14817s get but yeah uh
14820s I don't know how everyone else feels
14821s about it but personally like I put a lot
14824s of pressure on myself already because I
14826s know
14827s I hate to be ego about this but like I
14829s know how good I can be at this game so I
14832s try to I try to do my best always and
14836s having this name behind me just like I
14839s was like oh I should do really good
14841s in this I really want to get my name out
14843s there and everything I want to show the
14846s show the
14847s Community like hey I'm here
14850s please let me play the game
14852s and please I swear yeah I swear we don't
14856s bite too hard okay yeah
14860s I wanna I wanna just
14863s the the Titans are really really cool
14865s team it's really love the staff love the
14869s the team they've all uh
14871s well done really well for us the
14873s we all we uh we just tried our best
14877s yeah absolutely I mean you guys put on a
14880s hell of a clinic in that last match I
14882s think you guys are approving yourselves
14884s worthy of the name as I kept breaking up
14886s you know I can only imagine you know the
14888s expectations you place on yourselves and
14890s everything alone you know I know
14892s competitors will always like I am my own
14895s harshest critic no one can be more kind
14898s of like
14899s introspective on what I'm doing than I
14901s can be so I mean I I think I will
14904s certainly say I believe you are living
14906s up to the expectations you're placing on
14907s yourself because you had
14909s hell of a game that Farah was disgusting
14912s by the buy right at the end I was going
14915s to ask some sort of question about it
14916s but I think it kind of speaks for itself
14917s so Bravo I'd like to point out
14922s that's probably like I barely play
14924s Pharaoh but like I've played it in Alec
14927s a while back when it was meta but I
14929s stopped doing it like because I was like
14932s I don't like this character plus sojin's
14933s fun and broken for sure I wanted to pick
14936s her up you want to get as good as I
14937s could of that character
14939s and I'd stop playing fair I missed a lot
14941s of shots that that I'm out there but
14944s well your Sharpshooter play of the game
14947s was the highlight so yeah you got
14949s nothing to fret there yeah you got a
14951s sharpshooter play of the game dude it
14953s was uh I saw three directs in a row yeah
14956s yeah I don't need to explain it I don't
14958s play fair very often anymore yeah now
14961s you're making bubble and I feel bad yes
14963s besides
14966s well I mean I think you you proved that
14969s maybe keeping the pharah in your back
14970s pocket isn't the worst idea you know the
14973s surgeon I happily will admit is both fun
14976s and insanely broken so yes feel free to
14978s keep going on that one for as long as
14980s well
14982s you never know right hey I just I just
14985s make the tweets and do the casting
14987s please please everybody not my call I
14991s can't start the game
14993s yeah right right yeah I mean ride that
14996s train dude while you're good at a hero
14998s that's good let that momentum carry you
15000s absolutely
15002s um well all right I won't keep you any
15004s longer before we let you go though is
15006s there anyone you'd like to specifically
15008s thank or give a shout out to or anything
15009s else you'd like to say to to the fine
15011s folks out there watching us right now
15014s uh yeah thank you to the Titans for
15017s taking a chance on me my team for
15019s supporting me making sure I stayed alive
15021s and all that I want to thank the coach
15024s that they gave us Wadi it's really good
15026s really cool really helped me out helped
15029s me
15030s deal with my mental better
15033s um like for some of my friends slick
15035s nakamaru
15037s love them
15038s uh thank you to the community and get a
15041s blizzard for us in this tournament it's
15042s very fun so far
15044s excellent I'm glad to see you're
15046s enjoying it and glad to see you got some
15047s people behind you so thank you very much
15050s nari and uh we'll let you go go
15052s celebrate your win and have a good rest
15054s of your day
15056s well I guess it should come as no
15058s surprise that uh Vancouver Titans blue
15061s has quite the support staff and
15064s resources to really help their teams be
15067s successful and I gotta say I love
15069s hearing that there is a pipeline
15071s directly coming from these pro teams
15075s here for these events like calling all
15077s heroes and you know hopefully we see
15080s more direct funneling down an rt2 and T3
15083s scene so you know we actually have a
15086s fully developed pipeline feeding
15089s everyone in to the pros but Esports is
15093s Young we've got some time to cultivate
15095s and uh well we've got some time before
15098s our overall standings finalize as well
15100s thibil it is the Swiss series round so
15103s you know everyone plays at a little bit
15105s different pace and we've had some Heavy
15107s Hitters that I'm sure are going three
15110s maps not wanting to go home at all dude
15113s absolutely yeah so we're gonna take a
15116s quick break while we kind of see how
15117s everything's shaken out or if maybe
15119s there's another game in progress that we
15121s can jump into and give you guys some
15122s action on as soon as we got that figured
15124s out we'll jump right back in so don't go
15126s anywhere

15432s hey folks and welcome back to the
15434s calling all heroes Challengers cup we
15437s are going to jump into the third map of
15439s a currently active round robin series of
15442s defiance night witches versus ban on
15446s chalky milk and uh thibil I think you're
15449s a little personally invested in this
15451s right I I have stakes in this game yes I
15453s like chalky milk very much so you know
15456s but I'm a Caster I will present an
15458s unbiased view of these events if I
15460s happen to slip in my opinions about
15462s chalky milk uh well you have no choice
15464s but to deal with them but I will keep
15466s them to a minute fun fact chocolate milk
15468s is uh one of the best recovery drinks
15471s you can you can have after a workout
15473s thank you yes that's what I say every
15476s time they're like chocolate milk really
15477s yes and I go no it's actually really
15480s good for you yep and it tastes good
15482s there's a team in uh Northern California
15484s a school specifically that is well known
15487s for making their own chocolate milk by
15491s their school got their whole branding
15493s and everything on it and every time we
15496s visited their Turf for their own home
15498s games they pass out chocolate milk to
15501s both teams that participate so you know
15504s I bet this team that we're about to cast
15506s right now probably hates those guys
15509s the biggest Rivals of them all if that
15512s if that school ever makes an Esports
15514s Division and they face off against ban
15516s on chalky milk I want to be there for
15518s that we got to make a show match or
15520s something oh yeah watch out Fresno
15523s oh goodness gracious well we also have a
15527s Defiance night witches and personally
15530s whenever I see anything with witches or
15533s geez have you seen all of the OverWatch
15536s witch skins we have I don't know who
15537s over there is making all those calls but
15539s I think back to Monty Python and you
15542s know what burns other than witches more
15546s witches
15547s exactly and the kiriko skin came out so
15550s all I can say is mole witches I feel
15553s like I feel like the night witches
15555s should get to use which character it's
15557s like we normally disable skins for
15558s competitive play obviously I would allow
15561s it yeah come on give them a little bit
15563s of that right that would be fun but as
15566s as we get out here we've got ban on
15568s chalky milk setting up on the defense
15571s um I don't know how they'll be able to
15572s do that with their severe Calcium
15573s deficiency but they're they're looking
15575s at a composition that we've seen already
15577s today Something That We're Not
15579s necessarily surprised by double sniper
15581s Zen bath with a sigma we've got some
15584s dancing going on oh yeah he got a new
15586s dance too oh
15590s um this composition is just great for
15592s like you've got a strong back line in
15593s the back you have some pick potential
15595s Midfield and sigma is just setting up
15597s with that Shield the projected barrier
15600s providing that zone potential uh
15603s Defiance in the meantime are going for
15605s exactly the same thing we've been seeing
15606s today that go to that metal uh easy
15609s coming online with the Winston and they
15611s are just going to try and put some
15613s pressure on and overwhelm The Shield an
15615s opening pick on the calories will
15616s absolutely
15618s that is a tough uh you know on Chalk on
15622s band on chalky milk defined
15624s geez uh
15626s Defiance on night witches geez that's
15629s gonna be tough night witches all right
15630s yeah so many words recalculating my
15632s brain here yep yep no I don't blame you
15635s in the slightest there's more words at
15637s the top of the screen than we'll use too
15638s far but even so they're fighting it out
15641s Defiance Knight witches just immediately
15643s pushing that point there just being that
15645s forward
15647s yeah well and ban on Chucky milks comp
15650s is not quite as a hearty as night
15653s witches are bringing to the table right
15655s they've got uh oh a Fran actually
15657s switching over to that Lucio instead
15660s gonna be getting back much faster and
15662s now with zombie instigating on this
15664s street here with Kitsune they've pretty
15667s much put ban on shocking milk in their
15669s place with uh zetsu boy trying to
15672s recover really only using gravitic flux
15674s to stall out Defiance gonna go ahead and
15677s take the first checkpoint and at this
15679s point you may be wonder if this
15681s composition is really working for you I
15683s mean the composition can work at any
15685s part of the map but yeah I think right
15687s here is the good time to swap night
15689s witches are obviously proving that their
15691s aggression is not something that the
15693s sigma and the double sniper can really
15694s deal with so switching to your own
15696s Winston your own Reaper your own
15697s character those are all kind of the
15700s answers right you go back to the mirror
15702s you see what you can do with this in the
15704s neutral game and you do kind of you kind
15707s of have a bit of a disadvantage as The
15709s Silver part comes online
15711s um but nothing you can do without except
15712s Pokemon right Tello trying to just Chomp
15715s away at the health bars on ban on chalky
15718s milk goes through a nice disrupter shot
15720s in the heart of the choke point calorie
15723s goes ahead takes down easy as a result
15726s and well that is the momentum shift
15729s night witches were looking for I'm sorry
15730s chalking milk was looking for two stop
15733s night witches in their track and this is
15736s a really strong defensive point that
15737s they want
15739s a friend and zetsubou as well just
15741s stepping up you know kind of chasing
15743s them off you got to be that duo that's
15745s like and stay out so obviously
15747s establishing themselves trying to take
15749s some space back because the time bank
15751s here is no small thing and on chalky
15754s milk have a lot of ultimates at their
15756s disposal but my witches are no pushovers
15758s either to have the consume rush they
15760s have the death Blossom you hardly even
15762s need it when you Pursuits and dogs
15764s yeah so you might as well be a Gatling
15767s gun when the consuming Rush is available
15769s fellow trying to just free fire here
15771s from the back line not finding as many
15774s kills as easy continues to push forward
15776s putting pressure onto chalky milk now
15779s needs to come back to try and save the
15781s back line but it's a little too late the
15783s rest of the team has gone down and well
15786s chalky milk here defensively holding
15789s this High ramp once again
15791s and not too expensive I mean you use
15793s both your support ultimates so night
15795s witches will have the advantage with the
15796s sound barrier but that's all they have
15798s right no Primal no overclock to work
15801s with there so if I'm night witches you
15803s maybe try and pull those ultimates on
15804s this next fight you've got three minutes
15806s like it is doable but you want to be
15809s smart about yourself don't just throw
15811s good holes after that you know approach
15813s that in a strategic sort of way do some
15815s thinking here between products
15817s are you engage with the beat all right
15820s witches yep pop the beat here and
15822s pushing straight in to Momo's overclock
15824s as a result not going to be as effective
15827s as they were hoping because the damage
15829s from the DPS on chalky milk are
15831s absolutely insane this is honestly if
15834s there is a there's a point on this whole
15837s map where the defense can hold for an
15839s excessive amount of time it is right
15841s here on this ramp in the streets phase
15843s it absolutely is and you know we we've
15846s mentioned a couple times that engaging
15848s with beat is generally regarded to be
15849s not the greatest move historically I
15852s don't know if that's still true in this
15853s meta but I think the thing that we saw
15855s there is a prime example of why we say
15857s that because you can step up with the
15860s beat and yeah you've got the extra
15861s Health yeah you can walk forward without
15862s immediately dying but if chalky milk
15865s then immediately back all the way up or
15867s what do you get at it now though so I'll
15870s just stepping up and getting success the
15872s sustain through that death Blossom from
15875s night witches was absolutely incredible
15878s there was pretty much uh calorie in the
15881s heart of night witches trying to
15884s continue putting the damage in and
15887s props to the supports in those fast
15888s reflexes I was gonna say yeah if I had
15891s to throw a dollar towards whoever was
15893s probably responsible for that fight
15894s being successful for night witches it'd
15896s probably be a zombie that gets that
15898s dollar I imagine Isuzu was a pretty
15900s important part of making that fight look
15903s because if that death awesome comes in
15905s and it gets even one kill who pushes so
15907s for it to get nothing
15909s support line there because that is
15912s giving night witches their chance in
15913s this map
15915s still more pressure here from fellow to
15917s try and make or break the team for them
15920s a Fran does get the kill and cowrie goes
15922s ahead to join them in the feed
15923s regardless of all of the ultimates used
15926s in this fight ban on chalky milk still
15929s coming out ahead in the kill feed and
15932s they've shaved off so much time there's
15934s now only 47 seconds left on the clock
15938s yeah not a ton of time to work with not
15939s a ton of tools in the toolbox for
15941s defiance and suddenly this time think
15943s that they had has been whittled and
15944s whittled and whittled you said this
15946s point on the map is the most defensible
15948s by probably a good bit but calorie
15951s calorie with that opening pick again
15954s 30 seconds on the clock so they're gonna
15957s push the issue
15958s of course they're gonna chase because if
15960s you can get a stacker that late it's
15962s even more time or maybe a disadvantage
15965s for night witches when they try and
15967s engage here again right they're gonna be
15969s able to touch for the overtime assuming
15971s no one gets booped away uh I don't want
15974s to prophesize any other options so far
15977s easy jumps on the point here with that
15980s Winston bubble trying to continue making
15982s space Momo takes down Luna as a result
15985s and well it's time for some hero plays
15988s can the DPS clutch it out well it looks
15990s like chalky milk's DPS can Momo pops one
15994s after another with the overclock and as
15997s a result ban on chalky milk holding the
15999s defense before this second checkpoint
16002s absolute Heartbreaker too because you've
16004s maybe heard me call out keep an eye on
16006s Luna he was a pro he started that fight
16008s with 92 right you immediately walk up
16013s trying to build it and trying to build
16014s it and she finally gets it halfway
16016s through that fight and gets ajaxed
16019s so I mean that sound barrier coming
16021s through could have been the difference
16023s that got them through that fight and
16026s just I I think obviously ban on Chucky
16029s milk were probably aware of that win
16030s condition aware that that was maybe the
16033s only ultimate Defiance tonight which is
16034s had online and just focus the Lucio
16037s right like that's the logical solution
16039s to that problem and it was literally a
16043s matter of milliseconds you know it was a
16045s game of inches to decide whether or not
16046s that's out there got out right and
16048s potentially changed the course of that
16049s entire thing so now we are back to the
16052s position that we've been in a couple
16053s times today the Line in the Sand has
16055s been dropped 83.34 meters most of the
16059s way through streets you know a
16061s respectable push overall and as much
16063s perhaps as they would have liked but a
16066s chance a place to hold
16068s for ban on chocolate milk
16070s the point you need to pass to win this
16072s series
16074s it's Match Point whichever team wants to
16077s actually take this win and give
16079s themselves that final boost for their
16082s overall scores moving into the top six
16084s teams need to stand tall and do it now
16087s here on circuit Royale it's the last
16090s round of Swiss round Styles and well
16093s pushing in to ban on Chuck you I'm sorry
16095s pushing in to night witches could be
16099s difficult right we saw well I like that
16101s they've actually already backed up a
16103s little bit more they want to wait and
16104s force out those resources early in the
16107s fight get some disruptor shots and with
16110s an early kill and a lot of exchanges
16113s actually banana chocolate milk are going
16115s to have the player Advantage but it's
16118s still a lot oh my gosh they're both
16120s sloppy fight as far as who's getting
16122s picked left and right back and forth
16124s yeah yeah I mean we were talking about
16126s like do teams want to hold at this first
16129s corner do they want to back up and give
16130s up resources and things like that
16132s there's maybe some dissonance to hear
16135s their fight to fight on where exactly
16136s you want to go or how exactly you want
16138s to handle it and I think both teams
16141s maybe made some slight errors that
16143s allowed for those trades and that
16145s sloppiness and for that fight to kind of
16147s default to wear it to it even so night
16149s witches look to be recovering quickly
16151s immediately sitting up in this corner no
16153s confusion there about how they want to
16154s set that up fagi's going for a bit of a
16156s flank applying some pressure but a
16157s moment
16159s a lot of abilities already forced out
16162s and this is going to be a scrappy fight
16164s now as a result everyone is essentially
16167s killable and waiting for the right
16169s opportunity to try and capitalize we see
16172s that there is dogsy Doggies with the
16175s death Blossom here online and really
16178s it's a matter of time of when they want
16179s to pop it are they looking no just gonna
16182s jump in the heart of chalky milk take my
16186s 4K and uh well reset La Dina
16190s can someone induce vomiting on doggies
16193s because chocolate is not
16197s cool can someone get on that can someone
16198s call them please
16200s um sorry folks
16201s so some ultimates coming online for
16204s night witches as they establish their
16205s hold off of that Blossom they did also
16208s use the katsune restaurant
16210s with the overclock and immediately
16212s getting the pick under the counterpart
16213s yeah and with fellow taking out early in
16216s this fight that means there's no
16217s overclock online for a night witches
16219s either it doesn't look like it's going
16221s to matter because easy is all over that
16224s back line putting the pressure onto Momo
16227s as a result and the amount of space that
16230s they created to continue allowing night
16232s wishes to defend this first point was
16235s incredible
16236s right yeah I mean we were talking about
16238s akilios earlier I feel them in this
16239s Chili's tonight you know the Fuller hold
16242s is still very much on the table even if
16244s uh frankly if Dan on Chucky will give up
16246s the next couple fights yes or rather can
16249s manage to capture the first one sorry
16251s getting the side spot they have some
16253s ultimates online they have the capacity
16254s to do so they could see anything open uh
16258s quite a bit but I think they're content
16261s pretend to draw oh never mind
16266s yeah and uh well in the thick of all the
16269s confusion it mayhem it is all ban on
16272s chalky milk continuing to put the
16274s pressure in berate night witches they
16276s got all the kills they needed to finally
16278s grab that first checkpoint but that was
16281s a lot of time burned off the clock
16284s right and look at zetsubou immediately
16286s just like stepping All the Way Forward
16289s right all of this space is now available
16291s to the team to reposition to
16294s re-establish themselves and I think
16297s that's that's a very strong presence of
16298s Mind from her to immediately be like
16301s guys I'm gonna be up here I'm just gonna
16302s look big and scary I need you guys to
16304s set up exactly where you want get this
16306s cart moving let's figure out how we want
16308s to fight this strong call I would say
16311s friends that Suga for the rest of them
16312s on chocolate milk because they don't
16314s have a lot it does Kyrie
16318s well yeah even with the use of the
16320s Primal they do manage to take down a
16323s zombie here in the thick of the game and
16325s well another kill is it there it is
16327s right there on to doggies does actually
16330s result from Momo but it's all about the
16332s team work Chucky will continue to be
16335s aggressive and push forward as now the
16337s members of of night witches still are
16340s outnumbered
16341s looking a little dire he's gonna have
16343s the Primal Rage coming back online
16345s Zombie's going to have the katsuna rush
16346s but they need to not get staggered yeah
16348s dude you gotta go you absolutely need to
16351s leave there's not a lot of space there
16352s oh no you have one shot if you see nine
16355s you gotta PayPal me 10 bucks
16358s there's the touch here
16363s Primal Rage
16365s rage put too much pressure even though
16367s Momo pops the overclock there's still a
16370s lot of damage potential and Easy Down to
16373s the sliver of Health taken down at the
16374s end of the day and now the night witches
16377s are going to be down a player down to
16379s players that's devastating and that is
16382s exactly what shocking those wants for
16384s their opportunity here to take this
16385s Victory on circuit Royale it's match
16388s point and they are gonna take the win
16391s yeah I'm poor doggies there you saw just
16394s at the end of that death Blossom I I
16396s think
16397s she basically made the attempt to like
16399s oh they're gonna run right past me and
16401s I'm gonna be right there and they just
16402s kept running
16404s um yeah I mean they do have this death
16406s awesome to take on with them
16409s but I mean that was just a tough fight
16411s from the beginning right that was an
16413s uphill battle in the extreme we didn't
16415s have a lot of time to work with you had
16417s to maintain such a stout defense much
16420s like the last game that we saw
16422s um it's it's just one of those where you
16424s you kind of needed to be pretty close to
16426s perfect and there was just one moment
16428s that kind of busted that all open so a
16430s good effort then from them but even so
16433s and a really nice defensive effort from
16436s uh from ban on chalky milk as well you
16440s know coming through to really stall
16442s right there before the second checkpoint
16445s and
16446s that's just one of those Loca it's like
16448s being stalled just before the second
16449s checkpoint on King's Row with how the
16452s Stalls favored the defense and how much
16455s easier it is to free fire on them trying
16458s to walk up that longer Alleyway right if
16461s the offense is established themselves
16462s they push forward to take that space
16464s like we saw from zetsubou for a reason
16467s and uh well at the end of the day the
16472s ban on chalky milk is a go sorry thibil
16476s don't get my revenge don't worry
16479s um yeah I mean dang it was a close game
16482s all the way through I think both of them
16484s put forth an excellent showing really
16485s showed what they were capable of in
16487s those in those last minutes right we had
16489s some great plays on either side you know
16491s just some fantastic sets some clear
16493s communication coming through like
16495s strategy on both sides showing that they
16497s each had a plan of how they wanted to do
16499s things but at the end of the day the the
16501s odds of drawing on escort are
16503s infinitesimal right it's uh man I would
16507s love that I would love that so much but
16508s let's be real you know uh yours truly
16511s has done it and it was definitely a C9
16515s when it happened for the checkpoint so
16517s that's uh that's the equation that
16519s typically unfolds if that's the case
16521s yeah absolutely and so much the same as
16525s we have been flowing through today we
16527s are going to see about getting an
16529s interview ready for you guys uh if we
16531s can we will get that to you as soon as
16532s we can otherwise we will come back to
16534s review the final standings for the day
16536s and talk about tomorrow
16537s be right back
16541s Maybe
16544s Maybe
16548s oh oh just kidding folks Mike we've been
16551s mic checking with the interviewer
16552s production has been busy so we just get
16554s to stand here and stare at you for a
16556s second not a big deal we are ready to go
16558s with our interview in fact so actually
16559s let's just get that one going sorry
16561s about that and hello there to calorie
16564s how are you doing today uh hello uh
16569s um hey thanks for joining us and
16570s congratulations on your win sorry yeah
16574s sorry we're throwing you to the wolves
16576s real fast yeah oh my God
16580s uh yeah I'm a little frazzled that was a
16583s close game uh for sure I was um
16585s understandable very very a lot of
16589s yelling that's for certainly
16591s um
16593s take us on the Journey of kind of like
16595s what what you guys went through for all
16598s three of those Maps because
16599s unfortunately us and the audience didn't
16602s get to jump in until your very last
16604s round there on circuit Royale but you
16607s know tell us about kind of how the
16608s evolution of the whole series unfolded
16610s up until up until you guys take the win
16614s uh so yeah we had a very close map I
16618s went to 2-1 on Oasis we lost the first
16621s map and the one the next two uh so
16625s we were we were a little we're a little
16626s frazzled going into that and then the
16628s next map on King's Row uh went to a 5-6
16631s final
16633s um score whoa we pushed it almost all
16636s the way twice both teams so
16639s um it was
16640s very interesting it might be yeah I just
16643s remember we lost King's Row um and then
16645s obviously you guys went on the journey
16647s with us to
16649s um circuit Royale yeah
16651s oh well you guys definitely had a lot of
16654s back and forth and I want to definitely
16657s call out that you guys had fantastic
16659s defense right there before the second
16662s checkpoint of circuit Royale what was uh
16666s what was kind of the mentality and
16668s thoughts or like how did you guys really
16670s bring that together because you stalled
16672s there for what was it maybe three-ish
16674s minutes the bull closer to four closer
16677s to four jeez
16679s so we identified some of the weaknesses
16682s in their team obviously I'm not going to
16683s do that because I would be rude to the
16685s other team but we were like okay when
16687s they use these set of cooldowns we blow
16690s this person up and that was basically
16692s and then it turned into screaming Target
16693s calling as per usual
16696s um that was
16698s I think all of my team's voices are
16700s gonna be fried oh my God
16705s go drink a honey lemon plenty of water I
16708s believe I'm actually gonna go drink some
16710s chalky milk
16711s oh
16713s my team and my team tried to ban my
16716s chalky milk addiction that's why the
16718s team name is ban on Chucky okay it's
16721s because we have a secret chalky milk
16723s stand I'm so glad we got to figure that
16725s out I assuming all hated it
16728s uh no no no it's just it's my team so
16731s basically they don't hate it either it's
16733s just they hate what it does to my comms
16735s I just start yelling and screaming the
16737s entire scrimb block and they because
16740s it's a Superior Beverage that gives you
16742s the strength exactly exactly uh for sure
16746s new gamer fuel in the house chalky milk
16749s let's go
16750s that's going to be G feels next deal is
16753s we do chocolate milk now

16798s has been very flexible and I appreciate
16800s that they um go through all that effort
16802s to make sure that my schedule can fit
16804s with theirs so big UPS to them
16807s um and then also uh
16810s you know I've always I've always wanted
16813s to have one of these interviews you know
16814s so and ever since I was like 14 I've
16817s been grinding games competitively and
16820s then I saw OverWatch League get
16821s announced I was like I want to be on a
16823s big channel one day so don't give up

16867s uh yeah I have a glass and uh think of
16870s me eh nice yeah the other chocolate milk
16873s fan that's all I'm saying I also like
16876s chocolate milk I'm the only person here
16877s stepping up for chocolate milk you know
16879s what I find that I have a a kindred
16881s spirit for once in my life sorry next
16885s time we meet up we'll I'll buy you a
16887s chocolate milk and we'll have a cheers
16888s okay my friend we are gonna get the
16891s weirdest look from whatever waiter or
16893s bartender wherever that is okay it will
16896s tip well it doesn't matter yeah yeah
16897s yeah yeah they'll be fine they'll get
16899s over it we got some stand-ins here to
16901s look at folks we got 17 through 31 these
16904s teams unfortunately will not be moving
16906s on to tomorrow even so we we actually do
16909s see some teams here that manage to pull
16911s out their first wins off of that last
16913s round we have some teams here that uh
16915s clearly showed that they were you know
16918s maybe starting to come together get some
16920s momentum going figuring out how they
16922s wanted to do things and the ways they
16923s wanted to do them
16925s um so I mean I I think you know even
16928s teams that land in these spots because
16931s we see you know we see winners all the
16933s time but for every winner there are
16934s teams that unfortunately do not move
16936s along but I think in a tournament like
16939s this this is all such a fantastic
16941s learning experience an opportunity for
16943s them right but I I hope they walk away
16945s from this with their heads High well a
16947s lot of teams have never had an
16949s opportunity to really play at this level
16952s of competition at this scale of
16954s competition right this is a blizzard and
16958s OverWatch and OverWatch path to Pro
16960s driven event and a lot of these players
16964s haven't had that opportunity to really
16965s be in this you know more prestigious
16969s type of environment competing and
16971s competing against like contenders level
16975s uh you know fellow players and I
16978s definitely don't think that's anything
16979s to scoff at because that can help you
16981s develop so much as a player and if you
16986s grow from those you we'll probably be
16988s seeing more of you as a result
16991s obviously though we have seen a lot of
16993s the powerhouses play these are going to
16995s be our top 16 teams with dart monkeys as
16999s the only perfect un unhindered score
17004s there for their win loss ratio
17007s um we just saw a time we saw Timeless
17009s ethereal earlier and we just saw a ban
17011s on chalky milk so a couple more
17013s powerhouses banking their name here and
17018s man it is going to be a tough run for
17021s these teams tomorrow going up against
17022s each other because
17024s the quietest few of these are very
17026s strong insanely strong teams yeah I mean
17030s no kidding about there being a lot of
17031s competition at the top right most of the
17034s top 11 teams are all four and two like I
17038s think oh wow you're right that speaks
17040s forward to minimum right that speaks I
17042s think to their dominance certainly but
17044s also the level of competition that I
17046s think we're going to see I'm hoping not
17047s too many uh two o's tomorrow as we get
17051s into our first rounds yeah in the
17053s afternoon also want to shout out
17054s Vancouver Titans blue making the cut
17056s down there yeah we've got it we've got a
17058s few three threes obviously starting with
17060s number one on over buff and going all
17062s the way down
17063s um but I I think it's good to see after
17065s having uh spoken with them that that's
17068s that they managed to make it in just
17070s under just under the wire that they
17073s needed to be you know I mean oh yeah
17074s still proving themselves capable
17077s I agree with you there and you know they
17080s were really wanting to be in that top 16
17082s both of those uh both those teams were
17085s them and fruit salad were really really
17088s on the cusp of like okay are you gonna
17090s be able to make it to come back and make
17093s a showing tomorrow but you know the
17096s Titans blue really invested well they
17099s came to play and clutched it out here
17101s for the last round so big props out to
17104s them for really you know making sure
17107s they found their footing and well
17109s starting to make a name for themselves
17111s as well
17113s yeah and I mean tomorrow's a new day
17114s right just because your number 16 does
17117s not mean you cannot make a run by any
17119s means I'm sure spark came in at the 12th
17121s seed and made it to Fourth Place let's
17124s go let's see those upsets yeah yeah I
17127s think that's the energy that I'm really
17128s hoping to see tomorrow as teams
17130s realizing like the fact that we get to
17133s play it all tomorrow means that there's
17135s a chance right it doesn't matter how
17137s slim doesn't matter
17139s at all we're going to just try and make
17141s this happen so shout out to all the
17144s teams that made it shout out to all the
17145s teams that didn't like don't worry
17148s yeah it sucks as a competitor you always
17151s you know probably walk away from that
17153s with a bit of a taste in your mouth but
17154s at the end of the day especially if this
17156s is like your your first or one of your
17158s few first opportunities at this level at
17160s the scale
17161s keep going like every team and every
17164s player started as the team that didn't
17167s quite make it necessarily and they just
17169s ground it out built it up
17172s so let this be your start let this be
17175s the place where you become that sort of
17178s player because I I think we have a lot
17180s of like really inspiring talents even on
17183s the 17 to 31 graphic over there you know
17186s so I'm excited to see them come up in
17188s future qualifiers and and see what they
17190s can do as they develop their skill yeah
17192s well and the calling all heroes path is
17195s its own parallel path down the path to
17198s Pro as well so I suspect that we will
17201s see a lot of these players returning
17203s from across all the teams as you know
17206s they continue to grow and us as an
17209s OverWatch Community continue to expand
17211s how often we include all the
17214s marginalized genders and how
17216s how often we make it become more regular
17218s right where it's no longer special it's
17220s the norm that we're always all together
17222s and it's all equal all the time and
17226s you know uh peace and brotherly love
17228s let's go world peace all around that
17231s kind of vibe pushing forward yeah we we
17234s are going to solve World Peace this
17235s weekend folks be ready Twitter might not
17238s be here but World Peace will right
17240s Twitter was never going to contribute to
17242s world peace all right and frankly needs
17244s to go if we want it so now's the perfect
17246s time in any case folks we're hitting the
17249s rambling stage of the night thank you
