963s	all gonna get to see them very do you
965s	think people are upset we're not wearing
966s	animal costumes today yes i've been
969s	thinking about this and i feel like a
970s	bit empty inside like i feel like i'm
972s	not living up to my best self i know
974s	right because we have to be professional
976s	for at least one of the playoffs i mean
979s	we kind of have a kitty shirt i mean
981s	scott has a ripped hole in his jean so i
983s	mean that's not very professional
985s	yeah it's the fashion apparently
990s	this right here this is the fashion
992s	right here
993s	that's that's the good stuff get the
994s	ankle baby yeah what type of flare would
996s	you add
997s	sorry what type of flare would you add
999s	we don't have any i think overwatch to
1000s	add into this right
1003s	we'll think about it yeah we got i
1005s	forgot we have an actual show to get
1006s	into because
1008s	we have reached the pen ultimate day of
1009s	the overwatch league mid-season madness
1012s	tournament six teams have been sent home
1014s	leaving only six remaining to fight for
1016s	the title let's take a look at how the
1018s	last four days
1019s	wound up with our handy dandy bracket oh
1023s	bracket bracket
1025s	hey there's the bracket and we've got a
1028s	day full of action planned out as we see
1030s	the first seed san francisco shock take
1033s	on the second seed los angeles
1036s	gladiators and this is all going to be
1037s	in the semi-finals of the winners
1039s	bracket but of course we do also have
1041s	the losers bracket where the rest of our
1043s	teams currently are see the shanghai
1045s	dragons are going to take on atlanta
1047s	rain and then we're going to get that
1048s	rematch of the hong kong
1052s	that's going to be the exciting match of
1054s	the day and of course this is the order
1055s	that it's going in we're going to see
1057s	the rain take on the dragons first up
1059s	starting at 4 p.m right after our
1060s	pre-show then we're going to see that
1062s	rematch of fusion against the spark
1064s	then we will see the number one and two
1066s	seed teams fight it off for the battle
1068s	of california and then of course we are
1071s	going to see that fourth and final match
1073s	of the day i believe the winners of our
1075s	first two games guys we've got a doozy
1079s	of games uh kind of like going into this
1082s	um
1083s	i don't like the word doozy you don't
1084s	like the word doozy no it's it's it
1086s	sounds lame but doozy is like big but
1089s	ducey sounds lame i don't get it
1092s	i think we should change the definition
1094s	of duty but that's that's for another
1095s	time
1097s	yeah um i'm trying to like catch my
1099s	train of thought as i'm like looking at
1101s	the prompter i'm like come on
1104s	come on prompt this script i need a
1106s	little bit more there we go now guys
1109s	what stands out the most to you with uh
1111s	how things have shaken out so far custer
1113s	um i think it's going to be the fact
1115s	that the hongdro spark have been the
1117s	leading east team i don't think anyone
1119s	expected that the shanghai dragon's
1120s	struggling the seoul dynasty went out
1122s	first round and the spark have decided
1124s	that they're good in the playoffs now so
1126s	that's the first
1127s	johnny what about you i mean that was
1129s	what i was going to say and then castle
1130s	said it so now i'm like
1132s	what do i do
1134s	honestly i am quite shocked how tank
1137s	flexibility um is so important in
1139s	overwatch and some teams are just
1140s	getting hard countered so i'll be
1142s	talking more about that later in the
1143s	show so stay tuned yeah we've got tons
1144s	of stuff to be talking about thoughts
1146s	tank thoughts with reinforce take those
1148s	i love that well those are the teams
1150s	that are remaining but six teams tried
1152s	so hard and got so far and in the end it
1155s	doesn't even matter guys we talked about
1157s	this in rehearsal i'm not allowed to
1158s	make this joke but it's so funny i'm not
1161s	i am funny the internet has banned me
1164s	from making this joke
1166s	if you know you know if you know you
1169s	know don't look at my twitter but listen
1170s	here at watchpoint we like participation
1172s	trophies and a lot of teams may not have
1175s	reached their ultimate goal but they
1176s	have done plenty of things to be proud
1178s	of so let's hand out some consolation
1180s	prizes
1182s	now acosta why don't you start us off
1183s	who is deserving of your proverbial pat
1186s	on the back
1187s	for me it has to be the london spitfire
1189s	yes they went out in the first round in
1190s	a blaze of fire to a reverse sweep of
1192s	the florida mayhem i know it's
1194s	disappointing but overall as a team
1196s	they've been doing incredibly well
1198s	most of us had them 20th in our power
1201s	rankings or 19th or pretty low to the
1203s	bottom but they have an eight and four
1205s	records so far in this season and you
1208s	have to give christopher and the entire
1209s	london spitfire franchise props because
1212s	they're working with a lot less than
1213s	some of these other teams their budget
1215s	is definitely not there but with these
1216s	random players well not random but these
1219s	sort of unknown players and these
1220s	players that don't have as much clout
1222s	and sort of previous performances they
1224s	are stepping up to the plate you know
1226s	we've got backbone who's been popping
1227s	off the chatty narrative throughout the
1230s	entire year we have spark has been
1232s	popping off and then you've got bone
1233s	back flick uh flexing over to that
1235s	zenyatta honestly this spitfire team has
1238s	just been consistently
1240s	impressing me from time to time again
1242s	did not get that playoff performance
1243s	this time around but i'm excited to see
1245s	more of them so as the season goes on
1246s	long spitfire went out in the first
1249s	round but then you're also praising them
1252s	because of their performance
1254s	you know what i would call that you know
1255s	what i would call that what a hybrid
1257s	theory
1259s	um can i leave that was
1261s	really good that was really good just
1264s	focus on the numbers okay sorry uh
1266s	looking at the spitfire record last
1268s	season they just scratched a win in the
1270s	2021 season 2022 season look at them
1273s	eight and four series record over the
1275s	regular season 26 and 20 map record
1278s	that's a great improvement in just a
1280s	year especially since they didn't make
1281s	major changes to their roster
1283s	they also got a fan which is me joining
1287s	in for the spitfire unfortunately yeah
1288s	you like the hyper theory
1291s	hey johnny if you could tell someone
1293s	well you tried who would that be
1296s	uh
1298s	so
1299s	so guys you were the king of clash
1301s	champs and i would just disappointed us
1303s	all there's no consolidation price you
1306s	get nothing
1307s	you actually get a league point and 25k
1309s	but so come on we're a little bit
1310s	disappointed uh you know you'll get back
1313s	to it profit
1315s	you'll find you'll find another playoffs
1316s	all right you'll find another playoffs
1318s	let's talk about florida instead all
1319s	right because they make me a bit more
1321s	happy than a seoul dynasty all right
1323s	florida maya they had a good tournament
1325s	i think so checkmate i i think he had a
1328s	great performance this tournament
1329s	because checkmate you know he's he's
1331s	been kind of average like he's had to
1333s	earn himself this damage role in the
1336s	overwatch league and i think that the
1338s	overwatch he played the past week has
1340s	been some of the best overwatch he's
1341s	played in his entire career he was
1343s	integral to the florida strategy you can
1345s	see for yourself nine point five final
1346s	blows for ten minutes fifty percent
1348s	postponement hatch rate this is
1349s	checkmate we're talking about okay this
1351s	is not some elite tier tracer it's a
1353s	great uh step up for checkmate as an
1355s	individual and i'm looking forward to
1357s	see him grow further more now also the
1359s	florida mayhem i think they're building
1361s	a kind of foundation with their team
1363s	we've talked about the attacking
1364s	flexibility of some of these teams and
1366s	how they're getting abused because of
1367s	that the florida mayhem they have
1368s	someone in their team and someone he's
1370s	willing to flex over to all kinds of
1372s	tanks now he might not be the best ball
1375s	player he might not be the best sorry
1376s	player etc but he's shown willingness to
1378s	play these tanks and hearing about his
1381s	practice regiments how much he loves
1383s	just playing overwatch and how he's
1384s	eager to just become better and better
1386s	each and every single week i have faith
1388s	that someone can grow and develop into
1390s	like a standout tank player that is able
1393s	to fill all of these different tank
1394s	heroes in the wars too so i think that
1397s	florida mayhem
1398s	they're improving this foundation they
1400s	have going in over too but also the
1402s	individual play for some of the guys on
1404s	the florida man is starting to get
1406s	better and better each and every week xc
1408s	i didn't even mention him but he's got
1409s	some pop-up moments so the florida
1411s	mayhem i think they're improving they
1413s	finally like got over that hump by
1415s	reverse sweeping the lower spitfire and
1416s	taking it to some of these better teams
1418s	around the league so i'm looking forward
1419s	to seeing more from the four man yeah i
1420s	like the shout out for checkmate just
1422s	because he was the one player in that
1424s	fusion game where i was going like no no
1426s	no just take him out don't get him out
1428s	of there i don't like him on tracer get
1429s	him away from the fusion so yeah he made
1431s	me know him
1434s	hex i don't want to be on the same desk
1436s	as him anymore get me out of here i'm
1438s	just i'm just going to jump straight
1439s	into mine and i'm going to give my
1441s	consolation prize to a team that has a
1443s	trophy case full of them the houston
1445s	outlaws and it's fine because their fans
1448s	seem to always be pretty happy that the
1449s	guys in green just tried their best and
1452s	of course i'm gonna shout out jake
1453s	because he gave us a lot of a lot of
1455s	stuff for us to talk about here on the
1457s	desk whether it was tips that custer
1459s	heard in the bathroom uh learning
1463s	i
1463s	you know what he had to facetime me in
1465s	[Laughter]
1468s	he also taught us how to
1470s	learn how to read in the sunny state of
1473s	hawaii or he also taught me what the
1475s	term houstonable really meant there
1477s	scott yeah he really defined that you
1479s	know he's been around since the
1481s	franchise beginning jake houston was in
1483s	his blood so you know it's it's
1484s	definitely a good person to follow on
1486s	and learn the roads from
1488s	most definitely all right well that's
1490s	basically the analysis that i have guys
1492s	and enough with you know lying to these
1494s	teams to make them feel better because
1496s	the battle of norcal versus socal
1498s	continues with the san francisco shock
1500s	taking on the los angeles gladiators in
1503s	the semifinals later today and we're
1505s	gonna get into the details right after
1506s	the spring
1535s	[Laughter]
1542s	[Music]
1557s	[Music]
1572s	[Music]
1578s	do

1657s	[Music]
1663s	[Music]
1671s	[Music]
1674s	do
1691s	welcome back to watchpoint and you know
1693s	what they say west coast best coast and
1696s	the top two teams coming from sunny
1697s	california are prime examples of n a
1700s	talent top in the charts the san
1702s	francisco shock and the gladiators fight
1703s	today in hopes of locking their spot
1705s	into the mid-season madness grand finals
1707s	tomorrow now these teams of course have
1710s	a lot of history together in the rivalry
1712s	we've called the battle of california
1715s	now the gladiators clutched it out
1717s	against the spark yesterday and the
1718s	shock proceed to obliterate the shanghai
1720s	dragons now and i may be newish to the
1722s	overwatch league but in my several days
1725s	here so far even i've noticed that
1727s	there's a lot of tracer in that matchup
1730s	so is that the matchup that we should be
1732s	focused on here costa yeah i know we
1733s	talk a lot about kevster and proper and
1735s	their tracer but if you are having this
1737s	matchup you just have to talk about them
1739s	because they are really the linchpins of
1741s	both of their teams the way that the
1743s	rest of the team plays around and just
1744s	enables their traces to pop off is
1747s	incredible and you know proper has the
1749s	edge this is just in the mid-season
1750s	madness tournament just this week
1752s	propper has that edge and you know you
1754s	can talk about schedules who they've
1755s	played how well their team is done but
1758s	proper has been going absolutely crazy
1760s	same with kevstar i'm interested to see
1762s	how these two are going to match up the
1764s	last time we saw these two teams play
1766s	was in the last stage in the kickoff
1768s	clash and the gladiators got reverse
1771s	swept by the san francisco shock so i'm
1774s	sure they have a little bit of a chip on
1775s	their shoulder from that one but i'm
1777s	looking at kevsar to really be that
1779s	player that he always is because i don't
1781s	see either of these players
1783s	trying to step away from that tracer
1784s	we've seen a little bit of uh genji from
1787s	proper from time to time but i think
1789s	both of them are going to be playing
1791s	very stock standard dive styles and you
1793s	will see these guys go head to head
1795s	consistently in this match which i'm
1797s	just so excited for honestly i'm trying
1799s	to remember was it finn in his post game
1802s	interview who shouted out kepster i
1804s	think it was saying like all capture's
1806s	pretty good have to look out for him but
1808s	uh johnny i'm gonna take a shot in the
1810s	dark here that you want to highlight the
1812s	team players coming into these teams so
1815s	which frontliner has earned your praise
1816s	yep you're right about that i think we
1819s	gotta talk about reiner and this one
1821s	reiner is just brian's just too good all
1823s	right and he's going to be crucial in
1825s	today's matchup as well because summers
1826s	has got struck so far they've liked to
1828s	slow things down with the diva and
1830s	reiner i think he's just going to have a
1832s	free-for-all in today's match playing
1834s	the doomfist this is him so far in the
1835s	tournament first the newer damage
1836s	eliminations final blows meteorite kills
1838s	second in deaths i mean this guy is on
1842s	fire and so not really being able to put
1844s	pressure on by like asoria for example i
1846s	think reiner is just going to have a
1848s	field day in the server today and it's
1850s	going to have so much impact we saw
1851s	against the hangsha spark for example
1853s	how long he can actually stay alive in
1855s	some of these engagements it's really
1857s	impressive and i just like the sheer
1859s	damage output um i think if the shock
1861s	decides to slow things down again today
1864s	with the diva for example
1866s	it's not going to be a lot of things
1868s	that could really stop reiner so i think
1870s	you might see him over outperform you
1872s	know compared to this league average in
1873s	that part because there's less counters
1875s	in the way um the shock if they want to
1877s	count the reiner like good luck either
1879s	you have to you know mirror his doom
1881s	display or you might have to do some
1883s	hero flexibility stuff which i don't
1884s	think the shock are really comfortable
1886s	so so you don't believe in the diva
1887s	taking on the doomfist do you think that
1888s	diva is just going to struggle in that
1890s	matchup um i i i think that the diva
1892s	can't really do much per se to deal like
1895s	with the doomfist i feel like reiner
1896s	with his engagement tools and disengage
1899s	tools i i think he's going to have way
1901s	more proactive like agency in that
1903s	matchup himself and if you place that
1905s	agency really well i think that the
1907s	gladiators are going to be able to
1909s	orchid orchestrate these types to get
1911s	the max amount of uh you know power from
1913s	the dives coming in from yeah i agree
1915s	because like i like the diva versus the
1917s	wrecking ball and the winston because
1918s	you can just follow them around right
1920s	and just poke at them i think doomfist
1921s	if you just punch them against the wall
1923s	or you use the power block against the
1924s	the rockets it should do pretty well so
1926s	i'm interested to see how that
1927s	match-up's going to go i also kind of
1929s	want to see more trash talk coming out
1930s	from all of oh there will be don't worry
1932s	about it we got a little bit from finn
1934s	but was it really finn at the end of the
1936s	day or was it winter standing literally
1938s	right behind him using him as a puppet
1940s	but now of course in this tournament
1942s	format the loser gets to pick the next
1944s	map and that could lead to some
1945s	interesting scenarios for both of these
1947s	teams custom yeah so we don't really
1949s	talk about map selection that much just
1951s	because of you know the meta
1952s	consistently changing and all that kind
1954s	of stuff but this is this season's
1956s	hybrid map records coming out from both
1958s	of these teams the san francisco shock
1959s	on the back of that collusion diva
1961s	really like to play that icon boulder
1963s	and they have been successful on it in
1965s	comparison to just the 2-2 record from
1966s	the gladiators on the other hand though
1969s	shock have struggled heavily on midtown
1971s	while the gladiators have yet to drop it
1973s	i believe is what i'm looking at here
1975s	so depending on who wins this first map
1978s	which is going to be ilio so map that
1979s	funny astro and that we just saw the
1981s	gladiators absolutely dominate on the
1983s	losing team is going to be able to
1984s	choose their better hybrid map so i'm
1986s	excited to see how that is going to play
1987s	out in this series and teams playing to
1989s	their strengths and yet still no
1991s	hanamura
1992s	it's not coming back it's over people in
1994s	the chat agreed with me they said no no
1996s	custo let her talk as soon as i brought
1998s	up
2000s	just
2001s	let me have this they went oh two cp
2003s	let's bring it back and so far you're
2005s	the only one who says no johnny back me
2006s	up i don't want to see any 2cp
2009s	it's over
2011s	all right go ahead and break my heart
2013s	but you know what else breaks my heart
2015s	the fact that i can't be watching
2017s	overwatch league from home right now so
2019s	that i could get 200 league tokens for
2021s	the new mercy skin
2023s	take a look at it it's the new mercy
2025s	royal night skin and you too could get
2027s	it for a mere 200 overwatch league
2030s	tokens from now until august 19th or
2033s	hear me out hear me out guys i found the
2034s	secret strat you could also potentially
2037s	host the overwatch league desk complain
2039s	about not getting the skin and then have
2041s	it personally delivered to your battle
2044s	no no no no no no no we're honorable we
2046s	are honorable here all right it works
2048s	for me what so you just you just cut the
2050s	line so you just come in here host the
2052s	show for a couple of days and now all of
2053s	a sudden all of these great chatters
2055s	that you just sided with they have to
2057s	sit there and watch the overwatch league
2059s	and watch us the viewers are doing hard
2062s	work putting on their laptops while they
2063s	go to school and coming home to league
2064s	tokens yeah it's very difficult you're
2066s	cheating i think you should donate your
2068s	league tokens to chat
2071s	i'm just built differently
2074s	now we're just minutes away from our
2076s	first match of the day the atlanta reign
2078s	against the shanghai dragons a match-up
2079s	which is a bit more of a surprise to be
2082s	sure and also a welcome one now we'll
2085s	break down dragons versus rain on the
2087s	other side of this break so don't go
2088s	anywhere i earned the skin no you didn't
2091s	i earned this
2124s	[Music]
2176s	[Music]
2184s	[Music]
2252s	[Music]
2272s	hello everyone and welcome back to
2274s	watchpoint a quick amendment i believe i
2276s	said that finn was the interview subject
2278s	from yesterday but it was patty i saw
2280s	the justice for patty in the chat
2282s	apologies my bad but now we do need to
2285s	jump into today because we kick off the
2287s	day with none other than an elimination
2290s	match in the lower bracket between the
2291s	atlanta reign and the shanghai dragons
2294s	it is now do or die for these two teams
2296s	because the loser is getting sent home
2299s	now atlanta dispatched houston with
2301s	relative ease yesterday as they
2303s	continued to make their run through the
2304s	lower bracket while shanghai quite
2306s	frankly was embarrassed by the shock so
2310s	johnny i have but only one question for
2313s	you about the dragon's performance
2315s	the hell happened
2317s	there they kind of got dominated yeah
2320s	yeah
2322s	it was it was not good uh fate didn't
2324s	didn't they didn't really have a good
2326s	time ah
2328s	it was not too good and i feel like
2329s	these issues will remain um in today's
2332s	matchup against the atlanta reign the
2334s	wrecking ball didn't really work kalush
2336s	exposed it with the doomfist and also
2338s	the diva play the the shock actually
2340s	quite surprisingly started off playing
2343s	kilo on this ash and they show the
2345s	willingness to play way more diva in
2347s	this matchup so fate
2349s	didn't really have a good time on the
2350s	wrecking ball we also went to circle
2352s	royale where we saw you know boy come
2354s	out and play some sigma it really just
2356s	felt like this entire course
2360s	came to a halt
2363s	yeah it was not good i mean the shock
2366s	were super impressive don't get me wrong
2368s	but i am worried for the shanghai
2370s	dragons going into this matter because
2371s	they do not look comfortable they didn't
2373s	look did not look like the elite team
2376s	that we were expecting from them so i
2378s	think they'll continue to be kind of
2380s	dominated this tag matchup boyd
2382s	obviously showed some frustration
2384s	after yesterday's loss that was one of
2386s	the worst losses we've seen shanghai
2388s	dragons go through in like over two
2390s	years yeah it was devastating so
2393s	um
2394s	i almost think our dragons should like
2396s	abandon ship
2399s	time and elaborate on that what
2402s	i mean i okay so hear me out i they play
2405s	this wrecking ball so much at this point
2407s	i think you need to find reasons to like
2409s	force winston alright so like dorado
2411s	great map to force winston maybe like
2414s	get void in there to play some more
2415s	sorry on some maps is that something you
2417s	want to do but the wrecking ball against
2420s	hawks doomfist and like i think atlanta
2423s	rain are like gonna laugh to the bank
2425s	just like ah they have faith in we will
2427s	just you know abuse the fact that he's
2429s	faith that he don't space wins to the
2430s	ball i the tank the tank match up here
2433s	is going to be amazing to watch quite
2434s	honestly and you know maybe shanghai
2436s	play some rush right well i know i might
2439s	not rush no i they have we saw fate just
2442s	in this tournament play doomfist like
2444s	i'd almost rather just see them take the
2446s	mirror like they have goodies but hawk
2447s	is about to do this yeah he is but like
2449s	at some point
2450s	they're gonna be walking uphill no
2452s	matter where they are right now i think
2454s	mitch matching the doomfist and just
2455s	hoping that your talented players can
2457s	step over that i think that's a better
2459s	look than
2460s	abandoning ship and playing rush
2462s	hey on some maps okay what's
2465s	rush marshall
2466s	like colosseum all right or something i
2468s	don't know but no no yeah yeah map
2470s	dependence abandoned ship is a little
2472s	drastic but hopefully for the shanghai
2474s	faithful the dragons can get their tank
2476s	issues sorted out but unfortunately that
2479s	might not be the end of their troubles
2481s	huh
2482s	yeah so a big thing that we've been
2484s	talking about a lot this year is you
2485s	know flutter has been the meta for the
2487s	last two years the meta is shifting
2489s	we're in overwatch two and fleta does
2490s	not seem to be that player for them
2492s	anymore he has struggled so far this
2494s	season he's had a couple of breakout
2496s	matches here and there especially in
2497s	this tournament but in this like
2499s	specific playoffs he has been struggling
2502s	you just look at these numbers here he
2503s	doesn't die much but he also just
2505s	doesn't offer a whole lot in comparison
2507s	to the rest that you do here sorry what
2509s	do you think you do here yeah well and
2511s	that's it right like he's sort of like
2513s	supporting lip and hoping lip pops off
2515s	but venom individually has been on a
2517s	different level on that tracer we've
2519s	talked about how he def profit on this
2521s	moment he has some great mattress so far
2523s	and he is that tracer specialist for the
2526s	atlanta reign and he's the guy that i'm
2527s	looking at to expose the shanghai
2530s	dragons if he can get this dip going on
2532s	the tracer we know how important tracer
2534s	is in this matter venom will be that
2536s	sort of like linchpin for them because
2538s	you know i agree with johnny if they
2540s	come out and just try and play the same
2542s	thing they tr you know the atlanta rain
2544s	played very similarly to how the san
2546s	francisco shock play it's not going to
2548s	work we know how much flexibility
2550s	flutter has i think if they try and come
2552s	in take this tracer match up
2554s	even though he's a rookie venom i think
2556s	will dis flatter so i'm a little worried
2558s	for the shanghai dragon especially
2560s	considering yeah they have had like one
2562s	kind of how atlanta had yesterday what a
2564s	14-hour turnaround for this matchup and
2567s	i was looking at the time zone
2568s	differences it's 7 a.m in shanghai for
2572s	they say man we're all gamers we don't
2574s	do well in the morning so i'm a little
2575s	worried about this team of the short
2577s	turnaround they just got dominated how
2579s	do you fix things in such a short amount
2581s	of time
2583s	lip just woke up these kids are five
2585s	stacking yeah you gotta be tough i'm
2588s	telling you
2589s	so you're telling me forget about dps
2591s	div tank dip support diff it's time
2593s	different it's time different that's
2594s	right morning dip for this team but now
2597s	johnny time def aside it seems that the
2598s	youth seem to be taking over with venom
2600s	being an absolute monster in this
2603s	tournament and i'm not hearing a ton of
2604s	hope for the dragons coming out from you
2606s	guys but how could they get it done
2609s	today against the rain there is one man
2612s	one giant
2614s	the last hope
2616s	lip
2617s	i need you to pop off all right well i
2620s	don't need you your team needs you
2622s	your team needs you to pop off this
2624s	circuit reality performance yesterday
2627s	was absolutely bonkers i mean just look
2630s	at these shots they're ridiculous and i
2633s	need you to do this
2635s	all maps in the entire tournament
2637s	remaining all right if you want to win
2638s	you need to do this like 22 more maps or
2640s	even more maps you need to win the
2642s	tournament all right you need to step up
2644s	today because your team needs it um
2647s	obviously he popped up here on circuit
2648s	real and he tried his hardest but also
2650s	we need to see this on like sojourn on
2652s	the other map so starting up on the
2653s	control map you need to set the pace
2655s	immediately because lip has been you
2658s	know the standout player for the
2659s	shanghai dragons this entire stage in
2661s	those apac qualifier matches and i need
2663s	him to just get going on sojourn
2665s	immediately put kai down in the soldier
2667s	and head to head and it's going to help
2668s	this team so much i was thinking about
2670s	maybe doing this segment suggesting that
2672s	wario genji but then i realized i get
2674s	fired off the desk so here we are liv
2677s	i just need you to step up okay because
2678s	you are the shanghai dragon's last hope
2680s	he is the star player of this team and
2682s	if the shanghai dragons want to advance
2684s	lip needs to just pop up it's as simple
2687s	as that
2688s	he's already been popping off
2690s	the rest of the team needs to step up i
2691s	i think lip's doing great everyone else
2692s	needs to step up all right well let's go
2694s	ahead and get into our predictions
2696s	really fast and see uh what everyone
2698s	chose for the day and gentlemen i'm kind
2700s	of hoping that we line up here together
2703s	i'm sorry no no lining up there's no
2705s	lining up no lighting especially this
2707s	section oh
2709s	oh
2710s	danny the homie we are the same across
2713s	the board except for johnny
2715s	yeah what do you mean johnny why are you
2717s	predicting the spark over the fusion
2719s	because they are the superior team they
2721s	also won last time but i've i'm on the
2722s	opium with you so i i've honestly just
2724s	thrown this okay no seriously custer
2726s	tell me why i actually think the
2728s	philadelphia fusion
2730s	if they can find a way to stop shy i do
2733s	not like the way that they're if they
2735s	can find a way you're just wrong well as
2737s	i said shy can't keep getting away with
2739s	it i'm on the philly hophium i think
2741s	that they can show up i think that they
2742s	can perform to a higher level but
2744s	honestly i've probably been blinded by
2746s	everything i've always been saying over
2747s	the last week we saw them win yesterday
2749s	and we'll see them win again today
2751s	they've downloaded the spark they know
2753s	that they just have to take shai down
2755s	immediately i believe in the fusion
2757s	johnny doesn't but that's okay because
2759s	he's gonna leave today being wrong now
2761s	everyone that is it for watchpoint we've
2762s	got matches to get to and brackets to
2764s	finish the overwatch league mid-season
2767s	madness tournament continues right now
2780s	[Music]
2784s	sweep them away unbelievable
2798s	[Music]
2801s	what the hell did i just win this uh
2804s	pardon all right looks like pork's back
2806s	on the menu boys
2808s	killed two
2809s	and he jumps at sides
2815s	double three in overtime maximum winning
2818s	is shy looks incredible
2822s	was that a triple collapse
2836s	hey everyone welcome to the beginning of
2839s	the end i know it sounds really dark
2840s	when i say that atlanta versus the
2843s	shanghai dragons are in the lower
2846s	bracket two red teams but one of them
2848s	will see red after this one i'm lemon
2850s	kiwi this is leg day
2852s	and man it's been a long journey to this
2855s	point so many game fives and it's come
2857s	down to this there's only three eight
2860s	pack teams left and they're all in the
2862s	lower bracket
2864s	yeah lower bracket slash apac bracket
2866s	plus atlanta you know it's uh it's not
2869s	been a fantastic tournament thus far for
2872s	shanghai dragons they started off strong
2874s	lemon beating out one of the best teams
2876s	coming from north america dallas fuel
2878s	3-0 wasn't a great end for the dallas
2881s	fuel but now shanghai dragons the final
2884s	godfather of overwatch one have been
2888s	cast from mount our olympus into
2890s	tartarus and now they're having to make
2892s	this brimstone soaked pathway back up
2896s	towards potentially the finals but it's
2898s	gonna be a long way to get there and
2900s	also they're not looking fantastic
2902s	atlanta rain stand in their way and well
2905s	the desk i plan to say about atlanta
2906s	rain and so did i so let's take a look
2908s	at these starters because lemon you and
2910s	i last year we were casting a lot of
2912s	north american contenders and we had
2914s	ourselves an import we had ourselves a
2916s	little bit of the picante which was
2918s	brought over in the form of venom we
2920s	called him the tracer supreme and it
2923s	seems like in this particular tournament
2926s	he's been living up to that reputation
2928s	venom you saw the graphic earlier
2930s	against fletter is doing so much damage
2932s	not playing as much of a supportive dps
2934s	as you might expect when kai needs all
2936s	these resources to stay healthy and stay
2938s	spacious in these hit scans venom is
2941s	still punching out so much damage to
2943s	allow kai to get those finishes and it
2945s	just feels like we're proud parents
2947s	right now for venom because i feel like
2948s	we were we were there by the way like we
2951s	were fans since day one when this guy's
2953s	career truly blossomed and contenders
2954s	korea was like smurfing in contenders on
2958s	tracer alone and he was touted as this
2960s	one trick and people were just like oh
2962s	yeah he's good enough to be an owl but
2964s	what else and it doesn't matter because
2966s	you can sign a tracer now and be
2968s	confident and venom well he's delivered
2971s	and more than enough in uh in this
2974s	tournament setting but someone who's
2975s	really had some great development is
2977s	hawk who's previously an off tank and is
2980s	now a jack of all trades you looked at
2982s	atlanta rain and you're like yup this is
2984s	a doomfist identity team but hawk is now
2986s	on the winston and the sigma and because
2988s	he's showing that flexibility to so many
2990s	different tanks their weaker maps like
2993s	king's row are looking immensely better
2994s	now that they can operate on a sigmon
2996s	attack and waste less time on the
2998s	doomfist so there's a lot to expect now
3001s	from the atlanta reign than just the one
3003s	identity
3005s	man's bonafide joked but here are
3007s	shanghai cast from the top down into the
3011s	lower bracket it's uh well it's the same
3014s	team as last year lemon minus one
3015s	additional place that allowed for six
3017s	versus six it wasn't a huge amount of
3019s	changes the shanghai dragons have went
3021s	through yes they picked up baby who were
3023s	you as stayed around but the roster was
3025s	thinned it was crystallized into a more
3028s	streamlined form alas yesterday only one
3031s	member of shanghai actually logged in
3032s	and that was lip everyone else stayed in
3035s	the dugout basically uninstalled
3037s	overwatch it was not filling me with
3040s	confidence yes lip does pop off but
3042s	fleather's damaged numbers leaves a
3044s	little bit to be desired across the
3045s	entire tournament so far and fate was
3047s	pretty heavily counted
3049s	i know like reinforced was having some
3052s	doubts on fates performance in the
3054s	previous matches but the one thing you
3056s	can always depend on is kai and lib this
3060s	sojourn battle is going to be legendary
3063s	i just can't wait to get into this match
3065s	and then around them have been dps that
3067s	have had question marks in terms of
3069s	consistency where venom and just the
3071s	entirety of atlanta rain just i feel
3072s	like they perform so much better in
3074s	these high stakes they are the ones that
3076s	perform well under pressure and venom
3078s	has stepped up to that plate now flutter
3080s	had some issues yesterday keeping other
3082s	tracers in the league in check mainly
3084s	when they went up against the san
3085s	francisco shock and there was no
3087s	touching proper from that team but fleta
3090s	he can at least operate on the echo and
3093s	he really likes copying tanks it just
3095s	makes shanghai dragons front line
3097s	feeling like indestructible but one map
3100s	now will be chosen by the shanghai
3102s	dragons an advantage they can work with
3104s	and they decide to go to lijong tower
3107s	it makes sense they wouldn't return to
3109s	oasis after the embarrassment suffered
3112s	yesterday
3113s	shanghai dragons they might go up
3114s	against a little bit of an n a special
3116s	here we've seen a touch of moira lucio
3118s	all across shanghai
3120s	all across the jung tower and there it
3122s	is ultraviolet picking up the old uh
3125s	irish peak biologist and atlanta rain
3128s	here when it comes to the pace will they
3130s	be able to shell shock for shanghai
3132s	dragons or will shanghai dragons be able
3134s	to effectively kite these dives until
3137s	they can find themselves an early pick
3138s	remember here that kai might have a
3141s	touch more trouble building up that rail
3142s	charge to really deliver the burst
3144s	damage but when we look at our tracer
3146s	matchup venom is putting out a lot more
3148s	damage on average compared to flatter
3150s	is this the hawk ball
3153s	the myth the legend i was expecting the
3156s	doomfist on night market where it's just
3158s	one of the better best rounds even for
3160s	doomfist and you can already tell by the
3162s	lucio moira how atlanta reigns are going
3163s	to play this all together as they can
3166s	but hawk and you know atlanta rain they
3168s	love that confidence if they can beat
3169s	you at your own game they'll do it lana
3172s	reign already has control of the middle
3173s	of the match shanghai dragons going
3175s	through the other the sides of the map
3176s	but lib already strikes first diffing
3179s	kai a five versus four point unlock see
3182s	dragons have already made their way
3183s	there lana rayne not gonna go down
3185s	without a fight but hawk got cc'd or
3187s	just his rollout got interrupted and
3189s	couldn't leave fast enough and now this
3191s	is a almost flawless fight for dragons
3194s	with the cap first
3195s	oh so hard to play those off angles
3197s	lemon when you're playing with a moira
3199s	lucio the healing ranges are inherently
3201s	limited because of the range of moira's
3203s	body grasp and of course lucio can only
3204s	heal by his aura so kai couldn't get any
3206s	long-range healing that you get from an
3208s	anna or from a repair pack or from a
3210s	harmony orb and i'm actually surprised
3212s	here that hawk has gone for a wrecking
3213s	ball considering that he's not as good a
3214s	frontline combatant as someone like a
3216s	winston who could stay around a lot
3218s	longer with a moira at their back
3220s	at least for now you see the dragons
3223s	they kind of left the objective and
3224s	that's what's really cool about night
3226s	marking the way apac approaches it is
3227s	they'll cap the objective and then play
3229s	around it draw the enemy to the
3231s	objective and then surround them and
3232s	pummel them from there and dragons been
3234s	getting a lot of first bloods and it
3236s	doesn't even end there now the second
3238s	fight won they'll get to work on some
3239s	ultimate soon
3241s	yeah the real uh weakness here of the
3243s	moyra lucio is going to be there if you
3245s	expend the speed boost too soon you will
3247s	be picked apart from all sides by the
3249s	shanghai dragons there is still a pulse
3251s	bomb in hand good bathing here from
3252s	hawkins on top of izuyaki that's a
3255s	finish from og yeah hawk back on his
3257s	brand name and you see how much it works
3259s	atlanta right now with that quick pick
3261s	on the easy jockey legion is one they
3263s	know atlanta's chance is to go to the
3265s	point but like i said dragons they don't
3267s	like to play on the point they play
3268s	around it and then fate had minds buys
3271s	that real estate right back by from the
3273s	shanghai dragons as atlanta reigns
3275s	scatter lip and flutter gets to pick
3277s	them off on flanks so this is textbook
3280s	play of night market by shanghai dragons
3283s	and flawless so far
3286s	the thing is though the raw damage that
3288s	atlanta rain have for taking down people
3289s	like fate trying to contest a point is
3291s	incredibly low without things like the
3292s	discord or the tanks can stay around for
3295s	so so long and even longer now solomon
3298s	shanghai dragons have both of their
3300s	support ultimates and og is still 15 shy
3303s	and will stay there from his sound
3305s	barrier oh this is last fight too
3307s	reigned they can't afford this
3308s	coalescence starts and kai kind of loses
3311s	loss on that and hawk is separated from
3313s	the flock and shanghai dragons keep
3315s	picking them off lip is already
3317s	dominating this lobby and i was hyping
3319s	things up but this is not the way i
3320s	thought it was gonna be
3322s	a hundred to zero in round one eight
3325s	pack ain't playing around
3329s	oh yes
3330s	the journey back to the top of mount
3332s	olympus starts with a single step and
3335s	that step was taken on control
3339s	shanghai dragons him i've only suffered
3340s	a single death there i only remember
3341s	izuki dying in the midst of those point
3343s	battles we might have lost someone else
3345s	as well now shanghai dragons yet again
3347s	another look more of a
3350s	london spitfire kind of style here a
3352s	little bit of a rush here's a replay of
3354s	lip popping off and that is getting rid
3355s	of og and making sure there was gonna be
3357s	no sound barrier for the entirety
3360s	of that stage
3362s	that's pain you know it's not enough
3365s	pain dragons having a total of three
3367s	deaths as a team that last round 100 to
3370s	zero i wasn't kidding when i said this
3373s	was almost perfection out of the dragons
3375s	and now you got some rush fate swings
3377s	away at the front line you got the
3379s	mayweath from flutter to separate an
3381s	atlanta reign member at the back and
3384s	this is already a one-man advantage for
3385s	the dragons point unlocks in a few
3387s	seconds ultraviolet is off on his own
3389s	has been forced to use fade and dragons
3391s	want to coalesce on that and they
3393s	capitalize and that won't be a fight for
3395s	rain for now especially not with those
3397s	heels the dragons will cap first
3399s	so the dynamic here between the sojourns
3401s	is going to be super interesting kai's
3402s	going to have a much easier time
3404s	charging the railgun because they can
3406s	charge it off both the
3408s	the wall of the may and the shield of
3410s	the reinhardt but at the same time when
3412s	you have the uh when you don't have the
3414s	overclock up there's no piercing factor
3416s	to that projectile so fate can actually
3418s	keep his team safe if kai is on a main
3420s	angle rather than going on an off angle
3422s	and kai if he goes on an off angle has
3424s	to be super careful about being rushed
3425s	down venom swaps over now to the genji
3428s	to try and get a little bit more
3429s	negotiation around fate shield and have
3430s	an omnidirectional attack on that
3432s	monodirectional defensive measure
3434s	i like the honor 2 from uv you need the
3437s	nano for hawk and especially on moira
3439s	you use it for the survivability and
3441s	just provides way more utility and
3443s	there's a sleep from uv the man himself
3445s	legion's okay though good mayweal from
3447s	flutter to protect things venom gets
3449s	booped off we'll be able to climb right
3450s	back or maybe not i guess he doesn't but
3452s	it's still a four on four easy yaki's
3454s	down not a ton of heels from the dragons
3457s	but rain don't want to take this fight
3458s	and it will implant her reign win a
3461s	fight i guess we'll find out next
3462s	episode
3463s	it's been a while since you've heard it
3465s	ladies and gentlemen but welcome to liji
3467s	gone tower two environmental kills edge
3470s	guarding venom i don't even know if
3471s	we're in the right game anymore shanghai
3473s	dragons remain in control and venom
3475s	drags attention back over to a point
3476s	beginning to cap it as lip falls down
3479s	atlanta rain keep trying to go for these
3480s	reengages it wasn't successful at first
3482s	but the sound bear starts from the
3484s	dragons it's a three on four legion only
3486s	hits three of his two other of his
3488s	teammates and it's just not working out
3491s	but at least it has them extending the
3494s	lead that they have almost to 75 percent
3496s	you think i'm gonna die on that
3497s	objective
3498s	and yes it is true atlanta reign can win
3501s	a fight
3504s	every match win starts with a single one
3507s	fight lemon atlanta reign have their
3509s	work cut out for them if they wish to
3511s	win on shanghai dragons first map pick
3513s	here an overclock stands ready and
3516s	attention for lip balm flutter with the
3518s	blizzard is mostly going to be looking
3520s	to either control the point here or
3521s	maybe it's a defensive measure against
3523s	venom's blade because a lot of people
3525s	will be able to flee from this blizzard
3527s	overclock starts but rain are just going
3528s	to play hide and go seek hawk bumps into
3530s	fate mayweal comes behind here's the
3532s	solo shatter just to stop hawking
3534s	whatever he's up to with this nano
3536s	because oh gee has moved two people off
3538s	from the dragons who are crossing on
3540s	bridge side or playing around the point
3542s	i have no idea how that happened but oh
3544s	gee just solo one reign to fight
3547s	all by himself fletcher actually swaps
3549s	over tracer now gives up the blizzard
3551s	and i think that might be a slight
3552s	mistake here i mean admittedly shanghai
3554s	dragons were decided to make an
3555s	affirmative decision to swap their
3556s	entire comp but that would have been a
3558s	really good defensive measure against
3560s	the venom blade but frankly shanghai
3562s	dragons now don't have anything for
3564s	apart from fate hitting a big punch this
3566s	is what the desk wanted fake moving away
3568s	from the wrecking ball onto these other
3570s	tanks and yes reinhardt was one but the
3572s	other was doomfist oh she will have to
3574s	be careful with this beat i guess he was
3575s	nowhere close from the punch and fake
3577s	it's overwhelmed punches in and the
3579s	bearer comes after at one v5 not even
3582s	fake can do that but how long do the
3584s	dragons want to stay around they really
3586s	just can't afford to stagger out anymore
3588s	this has been a zero to 77 plus comeback
3591s	from the rain and now they have to lead
3594s	og with an interesting use of a sound
3596s	barrier they just managing to swarm over
3597s	fate after used both of his cooldowns
3599s	and got emptied fletter on the back line
3601s	gonna put some pressure onto
3602s	ultraviolets trying to distract people
3603s	as fate moves in onto a point to at
3605s	least trigger overtime in a couple of
3607s	seconds last fight starts venom can he
3609s	win it on his terms he's a yucky and lip
3611s	already down a five on three no damage
3613s	and no heals it feels like
3615s	dragons just don't have enough gas in
3617s	the tank they might have killed uv but
3619s	venom finished things off a cleanup and
3622s	a massive zero to a hundred comeback
3625s	from the atlanta reign that's legendary
3627s	stuff as we go to round three control
3629s	center
3630s	a little bit of a flounder of a full
3632s	comp swap on controller when we rarely
3634s	see those after like the first couple of
3636s	fights alas shanghai dragons thought
3638s	they had a better chance going over to
3640s	the doomfist but fate's engagements they
3642s	simply were not reinforced fate was
3646s	often engaging alone flash's timings
3648s	were a little bit off and it meant that
3649s	atlanta rain could just turn around at
3651s	different junctures and find themselves
3653s	one versus threes there's the uh first
3656s	of the environmental kills yeah we may
3658s	be on li jigong tower but uh og loves
3661s	himself a little bit of environmental
3662s	kill too and we also saw og grow up in
3665s	north american contenders alongside
3667s	venom they were often times in the grand
3670s	finals facing each other
3672s	but together with their powers combined
3675s	north american contenders is here with a
3676s	vengeance lucio mora a lot of speed
3679s	behind these doomfist comps enabling
3682s	these rotations both in and out and now
3684s	dragons have control of the server side
3686s	immediately give it up now it's the
3688s	doomfist battle orbs thrown left and
3690s	right hawk way more healthy than fate
3693s	waiting for these anti-utilities from
3695s	easy yaki he gets one on the hawk but
3697s	there was so much cc that came out of
3699s	hawk to stun up three members of the
3700s	dragons and they all collapsed still the
3703s	numbers you're not too confident if you
3705s	are the rain but now
3707s	that you just utilize the speed
3709s	overwhelm the dragons when they hesitate
3710s	at the last second the rain will get the
3712s	point with three members left
3714s	yeah the second shanghai dragons
3716s	hesitate they are going to be ran over
3717s	by this mora composition it's all about
3719s	the speed of being able to engage with
3721s	that much aoe healing and potentially
3723s	the damage orb as well to just get that
3725s	kind of guaranteed damage where it
3727s	doesn't really have to be aimed as much
3729s	you can see venom already excelling on
3731s	the tracer 81 of the way towards the
3734s	pulse bomb
3736s	now he'll have a flame from flutter he's
3738s	close to pulsar even just getting on the
3740s	objective and drawing atlanta reign away
3742s	from server can help things out it'll be
3744s	four on four on servers here's the punch
3746s	from fate gets venom no immediate
3748s	follow-up yet sleep out of bed finished
3750s	off by flutter one-man advantage for the
3752s	dragons coming up to nano meteor strike
3755s	war
3756s	the triggers being pulled a pulse and a
3758s	perfect patience to hit hawk as he
3760s	landed from meteor strike and now fade
3762s	is nanoed and he's gonna just bulldoze
3764s	this front line and ultraviolet won't
3766s	give this up or he will give this up for
3768s	just a little whimper so dragons will
3769s	get the point back
3771s	oh that was a perfect round for mizzyaki
3773s	hitting the sleep onto venom who had
3776s	ready to go this pulse bomb was
3778s	incredible and also the finish there
3780s	from
3781s	him the charge he needed for the pulse
3782s	one stick that on to hawk as he lands
3784s	from medium strike can't do anything
3785s	about it
3787s	and instantly eviscerate that tank
3789s	remember there's not really a defensive
3790s	counter measure here like a nano to help
3792s	hawke survive if he goes too far
3794s	coalescence first pressure mounts for
3796s	the atlanta reign it's countered by the
3798s	li jaegon barrier as lib just hopes to
3800s	have the space to use this overclock and
3802s	now he has the resources to do so but
3804s	doesn't want to shrink yet but as he
3806s	just is a little bit overly patient on
3808s	wanting to use ultimates i mean
3810s	lip doesn't have any supports anymore so
3812s	atlanta rain will get the objective back
3815s	for atlanta rain though that was a huge
3817s	amount of their staying power expended
3820s	in the fight both of the support
3822s	ultimates expended almost simultaneously
3824s	for coalescence doing damage through
3825s	multiple people and the healing on top
3827s	of a sound barrier legion expended his
3829s	but his izuki gets closer and closer to
3831s	walters now you've got to deal with the
3832s	overclock first
3835s	the fight being kicked off by lift
3836s	overclock all that hits hawk in the
3839s	finish from fake that is the type of
3840s	cohesion we needed from the dragons
3842s	presence on the point now range is
3844s	barely holding on to the server
3846s	fade already used by ultraviolet but the
3848s	flank from venna of venom and og is just
3850s	so strong they've already assassinated
3852s	uh easy yaki
3854s	and even though
3855s	shanghai dragons started the fight off
3857s	on their terms and on the right foot
3858s	it's just the flanks from rain are so
3860s	strong
3863s	that was a uh
3865s	interesting interaction going on in that
3867s	fight shanghai dragons though looking
3869s	towards the current
3871s	battle it's going to be all about
3872s	standard boost onto fate potentially
3874s	onto fletcher as well can get deep
3875s	enough og's so low to give over the nano
3878s	for the extra burst never mind the burst
3880s	coming from kai goodbye flutter oh she
3882s	was just the bait and you bit shanghai
3885s	dragons got to do this without flutter
3886s	for now and venom already gets hawk low
3888s	with the pulse bomb but he's
3890s	reinvigorated by the nano but what can
3892s	he do with it forces the jump out of kai
3894s	he wants to focus him down but he's so
3896s	deep at the back and the rain supports
3897s	have his back shots exchange atlanta
3900s	reign in overtime territory dragons
3902s	can't leave this objective they might
3904s	have saw the faded out of ultraviolet
3905s	flutter heads on the flank he has the
3907s	pulse bomb he misses it all the kai
3909s	and dragons now don't have a tank but
3911s	they can depend on lit maybe one last
3913s	time it's round three will the range
3915s	strike first in this map one meteor
3918s	strike at the back hawk starts the fight
3920s	he goes after fate but he's saved by the
3922s	barrier of legit gold but they don't
3923s	have easy yaki dragons have to win this
3926s	now but do they have the damage the
3927s	coalescence from ultraviolet will heal
3929s	everyone back up and now he starts to
3931s	pressure down limp and the dragons just
3933s	don't have anything left in the tank at
3935s	this point there's so much heals with
3938s	this moira and atlanta rain will take
3941s	the round three
3943s	on their own map pick
3945s	some of the champions of apac lemon
3947s	begin to crumble shanghai dragons find
3951s	themselves flummoxed by atlanta rain yes
3954s	the moira composition did not pass
3956s	muster over on the night marker but in
3958s	the tiger confines of the control center
3961s	where moira's bodygrass who get those
3963s	tighter fights and the best of heels
3966s	available
3967s	shanghai dragons found themselves with
3969s	no answers to the rain aggression the
3972s	phoenix has begun to flame
3975s	and the dragons though they made them
3977s	sweat for round three but as the dusk
3979s	said the map choice for hybrid is gonna
3982s	be critical and we're gonna see after
3985s	this break where the shanghai dragons
3986s	want to soar to

4207s	there has been one players that's very

4211s	out
4219s	[Music]
4223s	really relying on ultraviolet to just
4225s	kind of do the heavy lifting of the
4227s	support
4237s	[Music]
4238s	is
4240s	[Music]
4254s	ultraviolet i see
4264s	welcome back everyone going into map two
4266s	and it will be the dragon's choice
4268s	having to play from behind i mean the
4269s	dragons haven't experienced this since
4272s	uh the beating that the shock gave them
4274s	but even after that beating the the
4276s	dragons didn't choose to go to this map
4279s	coming up they went to ice and fault
4280s	there but maybe trying to exploit some
4283s	weaknesses or at least some tape that
4285s	has already been revealed this
4286s	tournament by the atlanta reign
4288s	and also a little bit of an ultraviolet
4290s	sizzle there picking up the moira two
4291s	maps out of three on li zhang tower more
4293s	of a uh more of an n a approach than an
4296s	apec approacher there's a good chance
4297s	for shanghai dragons haven't had as much
4299s	expertise screaming against those
4301s	particular moira lucio rush comps and
4304s	they're doing their own support swap ups
4305s	here bringing in baby like you said
4307s	lemon this usually indicates a double
4309s	flex support approach baby very good on
4312s	the uh on the back and in fact baby was
4314s	part of what we might call the failed
4317s	shanghai dragons mid-season beginning
4319s	experiment where they played a little
4320s	bay bay and void and they went owen six
4322s	they didn't do great at the uh of the
4325s	start of our mid-season madness
4326s	qualifiers however they did start to
4329s	fare a little bit better later on once
4330s	they really zeroed in on using the
4333s	fake ball
4334s	king's row gonna be an interesting
4336s	choice for them if atlanta reign are
4338s	gonna be defending first uh
4340s	it's a lot to try and get rid of hawks
4342s	sigma he is a joke a jack of all tanks
4345s	but his sigma certainly is something
4347s	else and he's real hard to dislodge
4350s	and like i was saying dragons haven't
4352s	been to this map this tournament yet the
4355s	only time they ever lost control
4356s	was to shock and they chose to go to
4358s	ikenvault so this is a different look
4360s	meanwhile atlanta reign have been to
4363s	this map uh been to this map twice this
4365s	tournament both against seoul dynasty
4367s	and the houston outlaws uh
4369s	winning this uh sorry losing this
4371s	against the seoul dynasty and winning
4373s	against the houston outlaws but what i
4376s	liked about the rain which i felt like
4377s	was one of their weaker maps um when it
4379s	came to the regular season was because
4381s	they were a little bit one-dimensional
4383s	around the doomfist and it's rather uh
4384s	when this map is so narrow it can be
4387s	quite easy to counter doomfist who
4389s	doesn't want to play from front to back
4390s	but rather on these off angles but ever
4392s	since atlanta reigns start incorporating
4394s	hawk and more of the other options
4396s	whether winston or sigma atlanteran have
4398s	seen more success even just more
4400s	recently against the houston outlaws so
4403s	they'll be on the attack we'll see
4405s	what's up for bat first the hawk winston
4408s	touch of winston versus winston here
4410s	whenever fate is a world-class winston a
4412s	world-class dive tank in fact however
4415s	over on liang tower i think the
4417s	coordination between fletter and fate in
4418s	those last two rounds was severely
4420s	lacking fate's actually been isolated
4422s	here has to jump away away from that
4424s	disruptor field and now has to expend
4427s	the barrier as well so lemon fate's
4429s	going to be lacking in resources for a
4430s	while this gives room for atlanta rain
4432s	to start moving around this monday
4434s	statue without taking too much damage
4436s	from a winston so lionel raine just
4438s	dived to the top right fate's gonna body
4440s	block that but really oh
4442s	hawk's been ante though so he gets
4443s	already below half health you gotta be
4445s	careful of that with the focusing beam
4447s	from flutter for a quick finish and hawk
4449s	is still gonna poke down and the heels
4451s	are just not making contact from
4452s	ultraviolet
4454s	the supports were on the low ground so
4455s	without that they don't even get a tick
4457s	but you'll have to keep in mind on how
4459s	the rain are going to try and either
4460s	jump on the lip or izoyaki or baby who
4463s	usually want to play in these windows
4464s	areas that are very hard to dive but
4466s	despite not having to take rain have no
4468s	problem just walking up to the point and
4470s	taking almost two ticks now hog has been
4472s	slept flooded with an injury doesn't
4474s	want to interact with that yet lip got
4476s	slapped and
4477s	he backs on out too rain didn't really
4479s	have too much of a hard time getting the
4482s	point despite getting killed a lot
4484s	i have to once again have to question
4487s	fate and flatter both working as solo
4490s	artist there it feels like uh fate is
4492s	almost in the i need to carry mode and
4494s	flutter is playing a lot more reserved
4497s	towards the back ultraviolet already
4499s	dead that is a huge pick from lip might
4502s	be once again but lip has to put on his
4504s	carry pants for a little while until the
4505s	rest of shanghai dragons are up to speed
4507s	or at least calming effectively venom's
4509s	down as well
4511s	just more stagger kills moral charge for
4513s	the dragons depends what kind of
4514s	initiative they want to take if they
4515s	want to engage with this nano from bay
4518s	bay onto fade with these yaki getting
4520s	shot you just have to be careful with
4521s	these peaks especially how they charge
4523s	off the tanks they're the nano's
4525s	actually given to fleta and not too
4528s	close to the dupe so he has to be
4529s	careful how deep he wants to go kai has
4531s	been nano from the other side so that's
4533s	been nullified now the rain can move on
4535s	forward they don't have the
4536s	transcendence but they want to chase
4538s	down these members these dps from the
4540s	dragons that don't have their mobility
4542s	cooldowns but the executions didn't come
4544s	quick enough for the rain and they break
4545s	out of the choke
4547s	clutter and fate finally moved together
4549s	there on a diver last they were warded
4551s	off by a nano boosted kind he's
4553s	dangerous enough for about fifty percent
4555s	extra damage venomous fossil manhattan
4556s	do they just want to remove fate is the
4559s	question a deep dive or a primal in the
4561s	back pocket babe is gonna be public
4562s	enemy number one baby's in trouble great
4565s	die from hawk flip is slept too so this
4568s	is just
4569s	not going to be much
4571s	as soon as lip wakes up the overclock or
4573s	at least the charge shot hits kai
4575s	so i felt like this should have been a
4577s	bit easier from the rain now they're
4579s	going to prime along through it's a 2v2
4581s	both primals activated discord placed on
4584s	the venom he heads out the card is
4586s	halfway to b
4587s	fade is just going to try and exist as
4589s	long as he can but he doesn't want to be
4590s	staggered now you can hold your
4591s	ultimates for the end of point b that's
4593s	the fight that matters for the dragons
4595s	oh face actually over extended a touch
4597s	here might be in trouble if he gets
4599s	afflicted with a discord or but uh og's
4600s	actually swaps over onto a lucio it's
4602s	not a huge issue now kai with the
4604s	overclock plenty of energy in the rail
4606s	gun but needs to find the head shots
4608s	shanghai dragons are carrying away in
4609s	fear for the moment
4611s	yeah fleta loves the copy of church here
4613s	it's in his wheel as for a reason the
4614s	pulse bomb at the ready not wanting to
4617s	throw down to ultraviolet knows only has
4618s	a few more seconds doesn't connect but
4620s	now gets to fly away that's all that
4622s	matters ultraviolet dead this is not a
4624s	good push for the rain especially
4626s	missing kai too
4628s	and they wanted more out of that engage
4630s	it was so aggressive with kai's
4631s	overclock but didn't really convert much
4633s	after izuyaki fragged one
4635s	all right og swaps back over onto the
4637s	zenyatta the pathing out of this primary
4640s	door i think is a little bit dangerous
4641s	lip is multiple times attempted for the
4643s	head shots on supports as they leave
4646s	og luckily they're only suffering a body
4648s	shot and so now fate once again has to
4651s	recalculate how these dives are going to
4652s	work because the winston's going to be
4654s	in additional trouble when faced with
4655s	the discord of og and how about the nano
4658s	on defeat too he jumps from the corner
4660s	goes right up the hawk and he's body
4662s	blocking him from the door but still
4665s	hawk had more backup than fate did even
4667s	when he had the nano but it's still a
4669s	good dive from the dragons when you kill
4671s	both supports that the attack had you
4673s	forced out the transcendence so the rain
4675s	don't have to be too sad about this they
4677s	have three members up kai is looking for
4679s	a flank on the left side that's a good
4681s	pulse by venom hitting me sayaki and now
4684s	atlanta rain can be more confident they
4685s	still only have three up the dragons
4687s	will disengage temporarily before
4689s	re-contest but uh it's not looking good
4692s	for the right now after that shot from
4693s	lip
4695s	oh kai with oh my god in chat yeah me
4697s	too buddy me too
4699s	they know venom in the back however that
4702s	is a lifesaver from lit for shanghai
4704s	dragons a new lease on life after losing
4706s	out on easy yaki hawk could have got so
4708s	aggressive without having to worry about
4710s	that discord orb and so removing that
4713s	initiative means that once again
4714s	shanghai dragons can set up on these
4716s	corners and control the engagement
4718s	fletter
4719s	he's gonna be pocketed over here
4721s	alongside lip of course who is gonna
4723s	manage to escape unscathed however hawk
4725s	has bought a lot of space for his team
4726s	to work with that's actually gonna move
4728s	in the jump in the overclock i don't
4730s	know if hawk wants that smoke but he's
4731s	still back hands left and cancels the
4733s	ultimate the dragons have to head out
4735s	babe he's getting flanked by venom and
4737s	was able to win that 1v1 somehow not
4739s	sure baby's okay for now and so with the
4741s	dragons and
4742s	especially fate who has the primal rage
4744s	flooded gonna poke around the corner and
4746s	see if he can assassinate kai but sees
4748s	that hawks there too so it doesn't want
4749s	to be too eager
4751s	a fairly economically neutral fight
4753s	right there lip expending the
4755s	overclocking getting the uh one for one
4757s	trade walking out with the prime mover
4759s	could move incredibly deep onto was yaki
4760s	try and get rid of that zen and use his
4762s	large form if he gets caught in a corner
4764s	to body block any huge coming in from
4766s	baby that could be a huge asset for
4768s	winston to use the last fletcher not
4770s	been great on the duplicates thus far
4772s	this year but maybe somewhat more
4774s	dangerous
4775s	i don't know if you want to be on the
4776s	flank on anna but at least you'll have a
4778s	second chance at life grabs the mega and
4780s	heads on now uh but especially after
4783s	seeing venom on the flank on ali side i
4785s	i like the idea just not the copy and it
4787s	doesn't matter when the rest of the team
4788s	are doing all the killing for you you
4790s	get to do your best impression of the
4791s	third support and with a few seconds
4793s	remaining the rain and got nothing left
4796s	in the tank they have the olds they just
4797s	got to be alive to use them and venom's
4799s	the only person there to keep touching
4801s	but hawk comes back on the doomfist
4803s	keeps the overtime wick burning but with
4805s	the transcendence there's just no kills
4807s	that are gonna be had with all the
4808s	leftover ultimates that the rain had
4811s	it's dragons always first blooding them
4814s	and that'll be the end of the road for
4815s	the attack of the rain before point b
4818s	r.i.p from the lip it was atlanta reigns
4822s	best chance but was shut down put in the
4824s	ground and consigned to oblivion by a
4827s	wonderful random headshot from lip
4829s	getting rid of kai eliciting an omg in
4833s	the chat and without kai atlan terrain
4835s	missed out on so much of their damage
4837s	but they just could not complete the
4839s	fight where with izyaki having been
4841s	stagger picked by venom atlanta were in
4844s	their best position ever to try and
4845s	complete second alas now i think their
4848s	best chance is holding first here i mean
4850s	hawk sigma holds on this first point are
4853s	pretty prodigious in the overwatch
4855s	league and shanghai dragons are gonna
4856s	need to keep their coordination
4858s	absolutely perfect if they want to outdo
4861s	hawk he's actually playing the winston
4862s	here maybe betraying the tape a little
4864s	thinking that potentially shanghai
4866s	dragons are prepped for this
4868s	i think this was the shot that made a
4869s	kai talk in the chat yup it was just
4872s	mid-jump like that i think my big issue
4874s	with just the rain on that last attack
4876s	was just they didn't have enough
4877s	pressure on that left side alleyway so
4879s	they were just one dimensional when it
4880s	came to the only road they were going to
4882s	come from and dragons either frag them
4884s	from easy yaki or from lip at a distance
4887s	and whenever rain had olds it was just
4889s	matched right back by the dragons and
4892s	every time the rain thought they had a
4893s	chance ultraviolet noji would die
4895s	there's been a few fights just failure
4896s	after failure
4897s	point b
4898s	not enough in the tank so we'll see if
4901s	the dragons can match that pace getting
4903s	some initial initial sonic arrows to see
4905s	who's in hotel maybe some ideas on what
4907s	comps and we go back to the tried and
4909s	true
4911s	okay one thing to bear in mind here is
4913s	that for shanghai dragons their vertical
4915s	mobility outside of winston is going to
4916s	be heavily limited which means that in
4918s	order to actually get up onto
4919s	ultraviolet and og there's a significant
4921s	set up time but fleta needs orlip is
4923s	going to have to take a risk and just
4925s	slide his way into the enemy camp
4928s	without any means of protecting
4930s	themselves afterwards
4932s	now fate
4933s	jumps to the very back to see if he can
4936s	land on some supports and the auntie
4938s	kills kai and hawk is already
4939s	overwhelmed he's below 50 hp and at
4942s	least he's with ultraviolet but shanghai
4944s	dragons have them pinned down they can
4947s	start to work on that first kick you
4949s	ought to be worried of those orbs for
4950s	emoji who's i've really done a great job
4952s	of owning that role more and more as an
4955s	old lucio player from contenders but
4957s	dragon's second tick recontest at the
4960s	ready from the rain
4961s	close the pulse bomb there from venom he
4964s	starts ahead on that flank he already
4965s	checks flutter there has to be a touch
4967s	though and venom has to take the fight
4968s	there oh geez got the warp on him to
4970s	help him out if needed you can see how
4973s	dragons were quick to disengage to kind
4975s	of rely on lip to get some pigs but it's
4977s	really the reign who have fought back
4979s	even harder two kills for them already
4981s	and no third tick for the dragons
4984s	i hope kai takes a higher ground
4985s	position this time i think playing on
4987s	the low actually was uh
4989s	a big liability for the atlanta reign
4991s	may have been easy picking even for bay
4992s	bay to finish off with an antenate venom
4995s	at the moment playing doorman and fate
4997s	he'll easily be able to get a little bit
4999s	of additional damage towards nano
5000s	straight onto og
5002s	yeah needing to invest ultimates here
5004s	for dragons nano v nano both sides
5007s	august slap those so that got canceled
5009s	the dragons just have to work out the
5010s	last take nine more percent away but you
5012s	don't have baby you don't have a ziyaki
5014s	but driving them closer respawns so now
5016s	they have to invest primal they're just
5018s	not feeling confident on their chances
5020s	of fully securing it and atlanta come
5022s	back for a touch and phantom heads fae
5025s	with the pulse bomb and hawks there too
5026s	they deny the last couple percent lip
5029s	now thinks he could take hawk on but
5032s	forgot that he still had primal he gets
5034s	off the point he needed to just live on
5037s	the boy
5039s	oh this is so sad
5042s	this is so sad lemon ah hawk just not
5044s	with the proper control of the primer
5046s	right there overshot the jump just the
5047s	touch thinking venom might be able to
5048s	come in and get that touch after
5050s	claiming the uh the health pack from
5053s	inside earlier the mega health back
5056s	shanghai dragons finally get their
5057s	capture here and have a healthy
5058s	four-minute time bank to try and
5060s	complete b and plenty of ultimates to do
5062s	so with flatter we're creeping through
5064s	in the subway getting off at warrick
5066s	avenue maybe
5069s	bit of a slower push from the dragons i
5070s	think they probably should have just
5072s	checked the top window of the high
5073s	ground next to the point because it felt
5074s	like some random picks came from there
5076s	and
5077s	had to invest more ultimates gotta work
5079s	on those back and right pulls from flood
5081s	ultra pilots go on and that's when the
5083s	cards fall oh gee they'll use his
5085s	transcendence thought another bush was
5087s	coming from the dragons they can wait
5088s	this out
5090s	until uv gets back dragons have their
5092s	own transcendence and they lost slip so
5095s	much damage from hawk came out easy
5097s	yucky he thought he was okay
5099s	he's love two support ultimates for the
5100s	dragons though and lip will get back
5102s	soon it's one last fight for the dragons
5104s	attack and there's already great space
5106s	being made from fate
5108s	kai has overclock and he's made miracles
5110s	happen before the chi factor that turned
5112s	around series through the atlanta reign
5114s	especially against seoul and he locks
5115s	onto baby but it's only a body shot if
5118s	it heals back up to full
5119s	fate is above kai
5121s	waiting for the nano but it's actually
5123s	lip that gets the nano and ultraviolet
5125s	doesn't have his yet lip is going after
5128s	og has already killed two and now three
5130s	and that's enough the shanghai dragons
5133s	will tie the series
5135s	you may have overclocked baby but i just
5137s	hit five gigahertz what a play from lip
5141s	shot after shot hitting its mark and
5143s	shanghai dragons have made sure there
5145s	are no more sweeps in store one to one
5148s	on their own map choice and well seems
5151s	like the research is starting to pay off
5153s	for the shanghai dragon to last now
5155s	atlanta reign for the first time in this
5157s	series so it was a dictator location
5160s	park did a fantastic job on the winston
5163s	though and you could tell he's just
5164s	improving every day now hawk isn't going
5167s	to be able to touch the winstons of fate
5169s	and others in the league
5171s	but he's doing his job he's pressuring
5174s	down he's iaking baby and they're
5175s	getting pigs but at the end the dragons
5178s	they're relentless on their assault we
5180s	have a one-word series but coming up
5182s	next it's atlantis atlanta marines
5184s	choice of map
5188s	[Music]
5201s	um

5435s	boy oh boy lemon i can't wait for our
5437s	community to say their famous
5439s	catchphrase it's arting time as for
5442s	mid-season madness global tournament
5443s	rangers i'd submit your art celebrating
5446s	the team or region you'd love to see win
5448s	it all on the overwatch league fan art
5450s	gallery i've personally been watching a2
5452s	zeitgeist also known as angie putting
5453s	out daily comic strix so v strips
5456s	they've been fantastic lemon i'm
5458s	thoroughly impressed i know i i also
5461s	remember the comic strip uh that's
5463s	forgot the name shout out to that artist
5465s	though from the who drew the merit
5467s	palette uh i should have had that right
5469s	in my bed but that's been a big moment
5471s	for artists i know
5473s	shout out to that artist but speaking of
5476s	creativity we saw a different look from
5478s	the atlanta reign on king's row
5480s	utilizing more of hawks winston when
5482s	previously going to the sigma but now we
5485s	have some even more changes coming in
5487s	now that uh
5489s	venom is out
5491s	nero in
5492s	and this is atlanta reigns choice of map
5495s	and i think a good old favorite for both
5497s	of our teams will be going to circuit
5499s	royale
5501s	oh yes this has been since its
5504s	introduction to overwatch league the
5506s	battleground for some of the greatest
5508s	widows in the world and well for my
5510s	money when it comes to north america kai
5512s	is the best there is killer ai some
5515s	might call him and he's gonna be joined
5517s	here by nero subbing in for venom one of
5519s	the things that i really want you to pay
5520s	attention to in the audience is how nero
5522s	plays the off angle behind the statue
5525s	when uh defending first point of circuit
5527s	royale if shanghai dragons have been
5529s	studying the tape they need to know that
5531s	that off angle needs to be exploited
5533s	because nero is essentially in a
5534s	one-and-done there if he gets rushed
5536s	upon by something like a genji from
5538s	fleta he could easily be overwhelmed
5541s	destroyed and find an easy four versus
5543s	five for shanghai dragons but if they
5545s	don't address nero he'll be able to
5547s	demolish void
5549s	and nero comes in to play the sojourn i
5552s	know over kai how could he but kai will
5554s	be busy on the widowmaker hitting those
5556s	heads and nero also likes to play uh the
5558s	honda on defense the sonic arrows can't
5561s	be understated enough how that
5562s	information is used and so that will be
5565s	on the menu when it comes to the dragons
5567s	though hey they like this map too
5569s	they um
5572s	oh my god here goes this again okay i'll
5574s	talk about it later right first little
5575s	rain are undefeated on this map they
5578s	beat both the london spitfire
5580s	and my brain is falling out and the
5583s	seoul dynasty as the shanghai dragons
5586s	the fuel
5587s	and also the only time i want to see
5589s	orisas play the piano and the dragons
5591s	lost to the shock yesterday to that so
5594s	uh i'm excited to see the lip versus kai
5598s	as i'm slowly losing my sanity
5600s	ah yes finally scientifically perfect
5603s	music perfected by the shanghai dragons
5606s	coaches in their off time lip of course
5608s	gonna be out here on the widowmaker
5610s	you'll know what to expect
5612s	usual spot for a widowmaker not
5614s	currently gonna be occupied one of the
5616s	things that we got to talk about here
5617s	for kai versus lip is the additional
5619s	wall hacks he'll be gifted over by nero
5622s	sonic arrow here which is going to give
5623s	him a distinct advantage in some of
5625s	these widows
5627s	for now a lot of space being given up by
5630s	atlanta rain
5632s	able to use that sonic arrow on the shop
5634s	too just to see who and
5636s	who's coming around the corner mainly
5638s	void has also been substituting in as a
5640s	sigma duty
5642s	rise up and now you can kind of keep in
5644s	mind of over on that right statue side
5646s	how flutter is going to want to jump
5648s	around the corner i think these sojourns
5650s	can get also a lot of charge off these
5651s	sigma shields liquors for the jump
5653s	doesn't connect now it's kai's turn oh
5656s	i think that was good as a support
5657s	around there yeah that was maybe around
5659s	the statue he's got to be careful but he
5661s	wants to try and build up towards that
5662s	ant matrix so quickly now nero has gone
5665s	inside of shop and he wants to try and
5667s	lock heads on the back line of dragons
5669s	but this is an eager position
5671s	the shots exchanged by the snipers no
5673s	one home yet
5675s	the immortality's out of the picture too
5677s	this is a lot of space for the dragons
5680s	you have to really try and shove hawk
5682s	back you got the accretion hawk gets
5685s	healed back up to full near what's
5687s	missing a lot of damage now and no tank
5689s	for the defense and it's just as easy as
5692s	that for the dragons from point a
5694s	okay so nero here actually took a really
5696s	different approach to the defense but he
5697s	usually does them and didn't actually
5699s	play on that off angle and instead went
5701s	essentially in the same direction as kai
5703s	and that meant that atlanta rain had a
5705s	quite mono directional zone of influence
5707s	and that was really good for shanghai
5709s	dragons it meant void could block off
5711s	both kai and nero essentially with the
5713s	same shield and it meant that lip and
5715s	flutter could try and find their own off
5716s	angles to overwhelm hawke yes kyle will
5719s	take out lip here and that's going to
5720s	stop a hugely aggressive claiming of
5722s	space from shanghai dragons but void's
5724s	got a big advantage when it comes to
5725s	generating background plugs
5728s	boyd has that advantage but kai has the
5730s	high ground and he lots of body shot but
5733s	flint has like one and baby's dead so
5735s	dragons gotta hope they don't stagger
5736s	out anymore as the rain look down below
5739s	that cliff to see if there anyone else
5740s	is home but yeah this is going to be a
5742s	big old fight coming up
5744s	izzy yaki had a flying a fantastic uh
5747s	king's row lemon i think 11 final blows
5750s	drawing equal with lip and izzy is once
5753s	more going to be a huge part of a
5755s	potential shanghai dragons win here when
5757s	it comes to long range pressure the
5758s	zenyatta puts out suma so much with the
5760s	20 orb clip and the large amount of
5762s	damage that they just do generically
5764s	crab flux looking for some friends
5767s	has embraced void and to death baby
5769s	drops below 50 goes into the doorway and
5771s	he's okay for now especially zayaki
5773s	there not even needing to use the
5775s	transcendence there it's big too
5776s	dragon's kevin big engage there's the
5778s	counter flux oh she's forced to use the
5780s	transcendence he's caught up in it now
5782s	the overclock from flutter as the hawk
5785s	shield is broken look how the dragons
5788s	are taking all the space but kai still
5790s	shoots flutter despite not having a
5792s	shield there and dragons they they're
5794s	being so aggressive but brilliant trades
5797s	back and forth when you thought they had
5799s	such a big advantage with the shield you
5801s	forgot about kai i don't think you could
5803s	ever do that and oh my god they're about
5804s	to hug each other lip versus kai
5807s	who's gonna get it four more meters to
5809s	go and atlanta hold
5811s	just a couple love taps flatter may have
5813s	been meta before but uh kai oh my and
5816s	florida now swaps over
5818s	after using the overclock onto the genji
5820s	it's going to allow them to
5821s	close these distances a lot better and
5823s	with easy yaki and tandem playing the
5825s	break this is a dangerous time for hawk
5827s	he can be brawled upon a lot of
5829s	dangerous time for void rather because
5831s	hawke can just uh be brawled upon
5834s	with all of shanghai dragons moving
5835s	forward they're gonna focus on winning
5837s	the tank fight here instead of winning
5839s	the sniper door and uh lip there gets an
5841s	unfortunate grapple
5843s	i want to see where this dragon goes
5844s	it's not really used for kills but
5846s	rather to separate the teams goes all
5848s	the way behind the dragons now the
5850s	atlanta rain could push further
5851s	immortality's already been used by
5853s	babies with small advantage for the rain
5854s	including the information from the
5857s	infrasight
5858s	but rain don't really just want to hold
5860s	their ground they're not going to be too
5862s	aggressive off of that now the next
5864s	ultimate up to bat is the hawk grab flux
5868s	and there's no supports from the dragons
5871s	but maybe just building up towards a
5872s	baby matrix there's the graph flux
5875s	trigger pulled it's always targeting
5877s	void if he can and baby's gonna try and
5879s	heal him back to full and void almost
5881s	dropped there and it's been a stalemate
5884s	despite olds being traded
5886s	flip moving up a little bit further as
5888s	well flats under so much duress here and
5890s	void getting stunned that means he's
5892s	gonna have to be playing catch up upon
5894s	kai with the double unbelievable the
5897s	buck stops here and it stops with me he
5900s	says and yes void may have a gravity
5903s	flux in his back pocket but he does not
5905s	want to be using it now we're going to
5907s	talk about the dynamics of answering the
5908s	gravity flux for shanghai dragons as
5910s	well now they no longer have the
5912s	zenyatta
5913s	here's a quick look at the kai replay
5914s	while we talk it through it means that
5916s	bay bay has to save that immortality
5919s	field for burgeretic flux and it meant
5921s	that there wasn't really anything else
5923s	to answer the incoming aggression from
5925s	kai
5926s	meanwhile ultraviolet and og they are
5928s	loaded for bear when it comes to
5929s	answering the flux themselves
5932s	oh kai is expecting to jump snipe that's
5934s	one of kind of the interesting ways the
5935s	attacking widow can get ahead just get a
5937s	surprise is doing the grapple off of the
5939s	highway side or even off at the side of
5941s	this building
5942s	or else you got to go through highway
5943s	and then you got to peek around the
5944s	corner
5946s	the jump snipe there hawk wasn't ready
5948s	for it there's boy grab flux it gets
5951s	ultra violet mortality not forced out i
5954s	like that patience especially no og
5956s	transcendence they can keep this up they
5957s	have major super motion by the place to
5959s	stop the upcoming follow-up from the
5961s	grab flux and now that that's gone the
5963s	dragons advance the rally behind them
5966s	flutter with the blade the immortality
5968s	done with he still trades out one to one
5970s	with ultraviolet now that og is gone
5971s	there's no healing for this defense and
5974s	that'll be it point b dusted for the
5976s	dragons
5977s	and it's unfortunate for the dragons i
5979s	actually had to use a rally in order to
5981s	finally fulfill their win condition of
5982s	brawling over onto hawke and they just
5985s	overwhelm this sigma who can't defend
5988s	himself from the damage of a brigitte
5990s	because the kinetic grasp can't eat the
5991s	mace shots and it can't even swift
5993s	strikes from a genji either lip uh gets
5996s	a brand new ear piercing free of charge
5998s	of course from mr nero and atlanta rain
6000s	are going to once again retake control
6002s	of pool this is going to be a hotly
6003s	contested area but shanghai dragons are
6005s	going to have to invest plenty of time
6007s	into trying to take back
6010s	dragon almost gobbling up void there and
6012s	flutter on the genji as he usually does
6014s	on point c
6016s	after he's done with the sojourn this is
6018s	a great kind of close range combat and
6020s	that also means there's just quicker
6021s	follow-up and it's between tracer and
6023s	genji on which hero our dps prefer to
6026s	have some kind of cart presence because
6028s	yes you fight over pool but you also
6029s	want to get that cart pushing or else
6031s	it's just going to go backwards forever
6032s	and it doesn't matter what position you
6034s	have the cart keeps going back so
6037s	looks like they have both lip and
6038s	flutter and maybe even easy yucky push
6040s	up on the left side forces kai to
6042s	reposition further away
6044s	see the high ground battle maybe
6046s	favoring hawk and friends now that he
6048s	has to grab flux but not even wanting to
6050s	peek
6051s	and hawk has to try and block these
6053s	lines of sight but now that the card is
6054s	approaching the end atlanta reigns focus
6057s	is on maybe having to drop and prevent
6059s	the full capture but nero starts off
6061s	this fight well with the pick on to
6062s	fleta
6064s	now you still have the grab flux and
6066s	many tools available from the defense
6067s	but they want a proper group up and i
6069s	wonder if the dragons know the flux is
6070s	coming and that's why they're playing so
6072s	split
6073s	and with this infrasight available from
6075s	kai this is bad news for shanghai
6077s	dragons they aren't going to have any
6078s	time left in regulation where they
6080s	cannot be seen both of these widows pop
6083s	the infrasights but it's kai who can
6085s	control the carts
6087s	grab flux from hawk and it's enough to
6089s	kill his ayaki boys gonna have an answer
6091s	but also rain have to be on the court
6093s	they're gonna use the ant matrix and
6095s	it's nero and ultra violet using it to
6097s	clear out the presence of the dragons
6099s	from the objective and oh geez it's
6101s	wrecking from the top and dragons just
6103s	got completely surrounded and got
6106s	nothing out of all the olds they had
6107s	available but it's still a valiant push
6110s	almost till the end of the map
6112s	what rain i mean the win condition is
6113s	set they got to get to that point and if
6115s	not i mean this decides the series lead
6119s	after matt one lemon we had our uv
6121s	sizzle reel and once again we've got to
6123s	highlight a play from the flex support
6125s	popping down the amplification matrix in
6128s	over time when shanghai dragons have to
6130s	be on the cart is the winning move
6133s	because at that point it zugswang you
6135s	can't make a move without it hurting you
6137s	if you move to the car to keep up over
6139s	time you're taking damage from the amp
6142s	matrix if you leave the cart well you're
6144s	c9 and you lose anyway and on top of all
6146s	of this ultraviolet says okay the matrix
6148s	is up i've got nero of a drawn back
6150s	arrow hawk it's time to kill void to do
6153s	that they hit the accretion on void to
6155s	cancel a kinetic grasp and make sure
6157s	that boyd has no means of defending
6158s	himself when the double damage arrow and
6160s	back t shots come his way you instantly
6164s	evaporate the enemy tank and shanghai
6166s	dragons at that point just have to feed
6167s	onto the car hope and pray but their
6170s	gods ain't listening
6172s	i was expecting more godly like plays
6175s	between the kai versus lip and it's been
6177s	exciting but it's sort of a slow push
6179s	from the dragons it took them forever to
6182s	get point b and i think that was because
6183s	kai was playing so deep and lip could
6185s	never get a handle on that situation
6188s	and then even voids grab fluxes just
6190s	canceled not cancelled but just
6192s	nullified when they get hot low never
6194s	able to get truly the finish even when
6196s	dragons shove reign against the wall
6198s	it's never a clear fight win
6201s	so we'll see especially against a hanzo
6204s	you really can't afford to just sit
6205s	there because the hans is going to have
6207s	better shield break than your
6208s	composition but bringing out the gates
6210s	hoping to get any kind of first pick
6212s	especially with dragons playing this far
6213s	forward around the lamborghini
6215s	and it's the hawk
6217s	the hawk shield that breaks first
6220s	jump shots exchange no connection
6223s	it's all about regenerating those
6224s	shields getting around the corner if you
6226s	can build in that matrix that's a good
6228s	win con but at least dragons forcing
6230s	back reign more than the previous round
6234s	neither team have opted into a brigitte
6235s	here so playing on these longer ranges
6237s	is much better for them where they can
6239s	more safely poke about taking damage
6241s	from the hyperspheres hawk given the
6243s	disco at all but the shots simply aren't
6245s	connecting thus far and so survivability
6247s	is paramount keeping this alive shanghai
6249s	dragons are giving up yet another corner
6251s	it's do or die in the next fight lemon
6253s	and these storm bows from nero are just
6255s	all going into void shield and this
6257s	shield battle is gonna favor the rain
6259s	unless the dragons hit a head shot it
6262s	can't just be body shots unless there's
6264s	like insane follow up but with the
6266s	double range comp of atlanta rain it's
6268s	about coalescing on the same target or
6271s	hawk maybe following up on a low target
6273s	but even that's tough he doesn't want to
6274s	get too close here's a boy grab flex
6276s	already 40 ahead of hawk again the
6279s	dragons get them low and finally they
6281s	can finish off these kills flutter and
6284s	lip getting involved and the dragons
6287s	will be able to hold here
6289s	oh it was so important that fletcher go
6290s	in and win that one versus one against
6292s	nero likely waiting for the storm arrows
6294s	to come out so he can get an advantage
6296s	when rolling in and trying to catch for
6298s	hanzo unawares if nero was able to exist
6301s	in that little cubby uncontested for any
6303s	longer it would have spelt doom for void
6305s	because the crossfire of the hanzo would
6307s	simply overwhelm the amiga healthful of
6310s	the sigma
6311s	now once again atlanta rain have to
6313s	fight for each of these corners again
6315s	and again and at every single corner you
6317s	are threatened by lit
6319s	even when you know those jump shots are
6321s	coming it's still not easy to hit it's a
6323s	tiny hitbox that's very far away and any
6326s	pick like that is buying you precious
6328s	seconds and the fact that dragons are
6330s	are not even playing at the end of point
6332s	a but rather around this corner is also
6334s	just good extra old charges the dragons
6336s	can work for now they have ant matrix
6338s	way before ultraviolet they have
6340s	transcendence before og
6342s	but it's off the strikes first grab flux
6344s	will get void low immortality's out from
6347s	baby and here's the matrix to stop the
6349s	ball from the atlanta reign
6350s	transcendence to keep hawk up dragon
6352s	strike to keep the dragons locked in
6355s	grab flux from the defense to respond
6357s	and there is the finish once again hawk
6361s	is removed and the rain have to head for
6363s	the hills
6364s	that was perfectly done by shanghai
6366s	dragons they use the amplification
6368s	magics to force out the transcendence of
6370s	a nova ultraviolet's dead so there's no
6372s	immo field afterwards to answer the
6373s	gravity flux void manages to actually
6376s	overwhelm hawke in this instance nero's
6379s	already been stunned and moving forward
6381s	takes so much out of the atlanta reign
6383s	they've used a huge amount of their
6385s	resources for sustain so izayeki has a
6387s	massive advantage on the transcendence
6389s	as we move into the final minute atlanta
6391s	up against the wall
6393s	atlanta range is focusing on the shield
6395s	break no funny off angles
6397s	it's just about moving void away enough
6401s	to get the point a and that's a great
6403s	pick or two from the atlanta reign is
6405s	yucky and void gone there's no shields
6407s	to defend baby or the rest and finally a
6410s	cat from the atlanta reign but you're
6411s	not exactly excited when it took all
6413s	that time to get that done and that's
6415s	not even the hardest part of the map
6417s	the timing there perfect taking out
6419s	izayaki he was public enemy number one
6421s	disallowing the use of that
6423s	transcendence from a fully charged arrow
6425s	doing 250 damage yeah he's got 225 hp he
6428s	might be a slightly more thick monk than
6430s	he was before but the double damage
6432s	hanzo arrow still gets the job done to
6435s	instantly remove that zenyatta
6437s	now shanghai dragons are going to have
6438s	to slowly brawl their way out of this
6440s	area and try and stop the cart before it
6442s	gets into one fight territory but thus
6445s	far shanghai dragons have not been great
6447s	about uh
6449s	okay
6450s	lip's been great lip has been great i'll
6451s	give you that
6453s	hey flutter too he says me too like they
6455s	say my name but
6457s	i mean their whole wincon is about picks
6459s	atlanta rain yes it's about pix but they
6462s	have the shield break option as well as
6464s	a grab flux now from hawk
6466s	despite not having any supports so this
6469s	is not gonna yield much result and no
6471s	picks off of that so that's that old is
6474s	out of the picture for the next fight
6477s	overclock
6478s	on the field here for flatter
6480s	it's been a while since we've said it
6482s	it'll overwhelm a transcendence og
6484s	almost has one of those and remember
6487s	that when nero and kai are either
6489s	drawing back their arrows or they are
6491s	scoping in they're moving slower they
6493s	become much easier headshots for flatter
6496s	and so they could be exploited oh that's
6498s	playing from nero
6500s	you've got to be careful i i really like
6501s	that flank spot but you can be punished
6503s	so bad and the defense i'll be able to
6505s	see it where the offensive flank can see
6508s	them see lip is already ready on the
6509s	pillar side
6511s	kai is down rain are just not netting
6514s	any positive any any first bloods to
6516s	really kick off these fights they'll
6518s	have the dragon strike if dragons want
6520s	to play a bit if they overextend a
6522s	little bit nero can have a good punish
6524s	on that but dragons are playing passive
6526s	for a reason
6530s	where do you choose to put down this
6532s	amplification matrix first she must flee
6534s	the dragon hawk up into the air given
6536s	the discord all but below him zeno waits
6538s	to make sure that health bar is filled
6540s	with lemon
6541s	at least the immortality was drawn up
6542s	from the dragon strike and that's where
6544s	the follow-up was there babe is gone the
6546s	dragons are gonna try and and do
6548s	something with this fight with the
6549s	overclock but it's just not connecting
6552s	hawk saw the flank and dragons are
6553s	getting pummeled from all angles
6556s	and i don't think there is a recon test
6558s	not with hawk at the front door but
6560s	again it costs rain so many seconds to
6564s	get these objectives done the same
6565s	amount of time as point a boyd is around
6568s	the corner hoping to touch but he's
6570s	getting bopped back and matrix but the
6572s	dragons don't touch it was up to void
6575s	they committed they have matrix it's a
6577s	mistake
6578s	shanghai dragons changed everything they
6580s	went genji they went tracer they wanted
6582s	one last cataclysmic fight at the end of
6584s	point b while kai was still returning to
6587s	the fray the ant matrix used as baby
6590s	surely baby doesn't swap now there's the
6592s	option of course to go to the brigitte
6594s	but it's not really what beyblade plays
6595s	usually they have izayaki move over onto
6597s	that instead and so it's back to the
6600s	tried and true for shanghai dragons they
6602s	forced overtime out of all of these
6604s	fights previously so why can't they do
6606s	it again flatter on the genji trying to
6609s	get on top of the elder shimada brother
6611s	but across these longer sight lines the
6614s	poke of the genji is going to be much
6615s	much weaker
6617s	for sight advantage for kai over lip and
6619s	friends
6621s	just all stacking three not really much
6622s	pull prioritization from atlanta and
6625s	especially off this ant matrix if they
6627s	can draw dragons towards them and a flag
6630s	from kyle on the left side they weren't
6631s	expecting this he dips lip and now he
6634s	got the flux from hawk he stops the
6636s	flame from flutter a five on three
6638s	starts you got a nero dragon strike
6640s	that'll flush out the rats from the
6641s	right side and the dragons are getting
6643s	slapped around and the raid head for the
6646s	box of victory and there's no one there
6648s	it's a letter rain going to series point
6652s	long-term planning and overwhelming the
6654s	duels from those solo players like lip
6656s	and flutter atlanta reign play together
6659s	they have each other's backs and well
6661s	friendship is magic lemon atlanta rain
6664s	takes circuit royale off the back of
6666s	some amazing individual performances and
6668s	while player may have started to wake up
6670s	in this battle with the sojourn still it
6673s	seems like atlanta reina controlling how
6676s	these engagements work with their tempo
6678s	so smart from kai with the infrasight
6680s	knew where lip was decides to take the
6682s	left side flank it just completely opens
6684s	up the dragons who were expecting a pool
6686s	on or fight on pool
6688s	so that was a great job from the atlanta
6690s	reign to keep up with the little time
6692s	they had remaining they go to series
6694s	point but after this break will be the
6696s	shanghai dragons that will decide what's
6698s	next
6717s	[Music]

6949s	two shots dead on the ground we're in
6951s	the same pull up three rounds bro you
6954s	done we let a rain head pop so look out
6957s	when we in the zone don't play around i
6959s	got strap puts your back tell you now we
6961s	laying it down yeah bow bands up trapped
6964s	out i bring the doors gang out look
6967s	don't wanna fade and drop out got no
6969s	clout things smart this crucial crucial
6971s	we ain't no average usual nah
6974s	we let rain ain't a savage who you
6976s	[Music]
6988s	welcome back to the ultimate arena
6990s	between the dragons and the rain an
6992s	elimination match a battle for top four
6996s	with atlanta rain one map away from
6998s	knocking out one of apac's last hopes i
7001s	gotta say but it was pretty close and it
7004s	was just you know catching dragons
7005s	lacking on sergey royal
7008s	yeah it's catching them lacking here and
7010s	there couple
7011s	nice tasty shots from kai of course nero
7015s	backing out for now back to is a hanzo
7017s	dojo to allow venom to return in it's
7019s	actually going to be the first time we
7020s	see shanghai dragons play push in the
7022s	mid-season madness all of their
7024s	match-ups thus far have been 3-0 for
7026s	better or for worse and for atlanta rain
7029s	this is a pretty powerful feeling
7031s	especially for hawk it was of course uh
7033s	alongside kyle one of the mainstays on
7035s	the roster last year this is a rematch
7037s	of our 2021 grand finals where atlanta
7040s	rain were not as uh we're not as
7043s	powerful against shanghai dragons this
7045s	time though oh how the turns have tabled
7048s	yeah but at least you can work with one
7050s	advantage and one of the last ones you
7052s	got left i mean
7054s	dragons will be choosing our next map
7057s	and then out of the two push maps they
7060s	want to go to coliseum now from what
7062s	we've we haven't really seen the
7064s	shanghai dragons play this this
7066s	tournament so far but we have enough
7068s	tape on what the atlanta reign have done
7070s	uh it was a close loss to the seoul
7073s	dynasty
7074s	but uh
7076s	they also got rolled on a previous map i
7079s	think this was against a london spitfire
7080s	in the first round 132 meters to 44
7083s	atlanta did not look good at the very
7085s	start but that's when they started
7087s	running hawk and nero on like some kind
7090s	of may rush and then have since grown to
7092s	more towards the doomfist side of things
7095s	and hawk just looks more confident and
7097s	more experienced on that hero but
7099s	you know atlanta rain i just like that
7101s	they're changing up the strat so you
7102s	never know what you're going to get with
7103s	them
7105s	well we know at least that fate is going
7107s	to be part of this one li gone as well
7109s	so we can expect either a lucio or a
7111s	brigitte we've seen some interesting
7113s	strats from lucio's of course yesterday
7116s	an infamous lucio performance from mr
7118s	funny astro himself the frag frog on
7122s	coliseum and on coliseum when you are
7125s	playing these push maps the speed of
7127s	elusive rings can be super important to
7128s	try and get your positioning for these
7130s	first fights especially on colosseum
7132s	where the first fight isn't always
7133s	guaranteed to be
7135s	inside the long lane but can actually
7136s	happen out in the
7138s	middle area with the mega health pack as
7140s	well it depends on what geography is
7142s	most uh preferential for the main tank
7144s	you play
7146s	i mean yeah the dragon just haven't been
7148s	to push because they either
7150s	win or die by the 3-0
7152s	sophia
7154s	territory now lemon yeah and i say first
7157s	obviously they play push during the
7158s	regular season but everyone is looking
7161s	different when it comes to the
7162s	mid-season madness i mean we have teams
7164s	like seoul dynasty who are out in the
7166s	first round even london spitfire who are
7168s	kind of like that dark horse out in the
7170s	first round everyone's bringing all
7172s	kinds of strats even like some sombra
7175s	and stuff like that that we don't get to
7176s	usually see
7178s	but this map bodes well when it comes to
7180s	wanting to put to choose new queen
7181s	street coliseum i say coliseum is a lot
7183s	more open and friendlier to hammond well
7186s	as maybe if you have a more doomfist
7188s	oriented team you might prefer the new
7190s	queen street or if you you like your
7192s	heavy flankers sombra tracers stuff like
7194s	that you'd prefer new queen street but a
7196s	lot of our teams prefer colosseum for
7198s	that openness
7199s	so i'm expecting some hammond from fate
7202s	but it's hot it's been this question
7204s	mark because he's playing so many
7205s	different things these days
7207s	all right so let's talk about the genji
7208s	that's currently being hovered in both
7209s	of our spawns here by both venom and
7211s	flatter and this might be a big
7212s	advantage for dragons venom's got a
7214s	serviceable genji but flatters is
7216s	definitely one of his better heroes and
7218s	the reason why the genji is so prevalent
7220s	here on colosseum is because for the
7222s	lane itself in which the bot has the
7224s	walk in the middle it has these windows
7226s	on the side of it which uh segregated
7229s	from the rest of the map and those
7230s	windows have a gap at the top meaning
7231s	they could easily be wall climbed over
7233s	i've been pranked entirely fledder and
7235s	venom have both swapped over to a tracer
7237s	they'll show me to analyze analysis but
7242s	we've been talking about how good venom
7244s	has looked this tournament and diffing
7246s	flutter is where you're gonna really
7248s	prove that to us kai versus liv has
7250s	still been an even sojourn battle with
7253s	kai having some more creative plays to
7255s	catch slip off guard as we saw on
7257s	circuit royale but
7258s	got the doomfist versus fades and faith
7261s	already been antiqued and the doomfist
7263s	can kind of displace um the hammonds
7265s	quite well with the easy punch just
7267s	getting a ham and off off its rocker for
7270s	a second just like hawk is on his back
7272s	is how you want to catch these tanks off
7274s	guard but it's hawk first to fall and
7276s	all the dominoes after that down and the
7278s	dragons will get an initial push
7281s	so let's analyze the dynamic of this
7283s	tracer door as well in particular
7284s	there's going to be a much better match
7286s	up for flatter who can have the
7287s	long-term healing of the harmony orb
7289s	attached to him or lee jaegon's repair
7291s	back and venom will be suffering from a
7293s	discord orb as well and you don't get as
7294s	much direct support from a lucio anna
7296s	backline but atlanta reyna currently
7298s	running so venom is trying to do this on
7300s	his own in what is essentially a two
7302s	versus one tracer
7305s	see how this goes the tracer duel is
7307s	c-lip needing some help on that right
7309s	side that's when you need a tracer
7311s	but he's been too busy marking venom and
7313s	as soon as lip shows his face it just
7315s	gets collapsed on so you gotta be so
7317s	careful when you're on this pillar side
7319s	of things you want to stay nice and safe
7321s	and really have some scouting be done
7323s	for you whether by fate or by flutter
7325s	and just lip and friends didn't see that
7327s	coming and it's atlanta rain with a good
7330s	good pushback on the dragons despite
7331s	losing ultraviolet no g
7334s	so at the end we're still left with lion
7335s	rain having closer respawns and more
7337s	bodies on the bot so the dragons will
7339s	reset
7340s	we've discussed how shanghai dragons
7342s	support lines a little bit better for
7343s	tracer door but what the anna and
7345s	valusio really excel in is allowing hawk
7347s	to get on top of izayaki and li jaegon
7349s	there's so much more support here for
7351s	hawk he can brawl for a lot longer
7352s	whereas fate doesn't have as much direct
7354s	healing and has to exit the game quite
7356s	quickly after taking some damage not a
7358s	huge amount of push here for atlanta
7360s	rain but now paul gets nano to change
7361s	that
7362s	a hawk has nano but he's a yaki he's in
7364s	his face with transcendence so what can
7366s	hawk really do
7368s	he already has to head back he's 120 hp
7370s	so some momentum lost by the brain
7372s	especially not knowing where fleta is
7374s	venom is missing can't keep that other
7376s	tracer in check
7377s	so atlanta reigns i want to waste more
7379s	time we'll try and contest the bot as
7381s	much as they can until venom is back and
7382s	he is and that is the call being made
7385s	the sound barrier and the overclock by
7388s	kai
7389s	two down from the dragons will you take
7391s	on next kai is on the high ground too
7393s	great angle as long as he doesn't drop
7395s	into those fate lines that have been
7396s	left over a great sleep that will be the
7398s	end of fate
7399s	and we'll see maybe atlanta rain with a
7401s	chance to get ahead
7403s	i'm actually finally get some push here
7405s	remember the shanghai dragons a very
7407s	fast comp so they can habitually contest
7410s	this uh particular barricade don't think
7412s	it'll be happening before a leaders game
7413s	for atlanta reign but that was a very
7415s	expensive fight they used both their
7417s	alts in tandem with nano and for meteor
7419s	strike combined then with a sound
7421s	barrier in the overclock so only venom's
7423s	really desynced when it comes to using
7425s	these and lip can control the next
7427s	battle using his own overclock
7429s	oh that's a good disrupter right at the
7431s	door of where the rallying team of
7432s	dragons want to get through and they
7434s	just burn right through it overclocked
7435s	by lift he's looking at the back side oh
7437s	she bounces away and ultraviolet is in
7439s	the wrong position at the wrong time and
7442s	kai is going to feel that in the morning
7443s	so still though gained by the by the
7446s	rain 32 meters but the dragons got to
7449s	work on some more olds if they really
7451s	want to try and take back the fight on
7453s	staircase which is really difficult for
7454s	this team to do
7456s	with that rally expended as well venom
7458s	now has uh a choice as to who he wants
7460s	to try and stick with izyaki and lee jay
7462s	gone are both fruitful targets and the
7463s	brig eater in particular very easy for
7465s	venom to stick if you can make sure that
7467s	izuyaki is the only healing shanghai
7469s	dragons will be playing from behind by a
7471s	huge margin as soon as you see kai use
7473s	the jump to get to the high ground you
7475s	see the dragons are on that like butter
7477s	on toast that's just the most vulnerable
7479s	position that sojourn is going to be in
7481s	and dragons have great awareness now it
7483s	just sucks that they they've lost they
7485s	take on it i believe or maybe even easy
7487s	yaki and just having you need really all
7489s	five members to get through just the
7492s	bend
7492s	but they still have us dragons have a
7495s	small lead even though even if it's only
7498s	by 0.26 meters
7499s	but they're not going to be able to keep
7501s	this one going
7502s	also in a great job here of controlling
7504s	fate on the ball essentially fake needs
7506s	to get that first kill on the engagement
7508s	which they did find on kai in the
7510s	previous fight but after that shanghai
7512s	dragons really run out of steam if they
7514s	can't really disrupt atlanta reigning
7515s	force at a huge amount of resources
7517s	orchestra meteor strike good to go and
7519s	that means fletcher now can freely stick
7521s	him
7522s	oh the transcendence isn't going to help
7524s	a lip and fey got slipped but he's woken
7526s	back up he's got mines on the bot too so
7528s	fran atlanta rain have to go all the way
7530s	around to get stuff done
7533s	and as they're just splitting up it's
7535s	not working out
7536s	at least atlanta rain have that first
7538s	pick on the easy yucky
7540s	you have fate in the back line tossing
7542s	everyone up even just distracting uv and
7544s	og from healing can have a big impact
7547s	but
7548s	so much attention went into fate that
7549s	he's dead so the rain can take back a
7551s	lead now they start to work on that
7553s	bridge control where hawk is already on
7555s	the right side but she forgot about lip
7557s	and the shots at a distance and
7559s	weakening rain bit by bit is huge
7561s	especially denying the chance of the
7563s	sound bearer but hawk went so deep
7566s	yeah hold on incredibly deep there was
7568s	no way for ultraviolet support that and
7570s	atlanta rain everyone's playing solo at
7572s	the moment the second the og fell down
7575s	everyone from atlanta rain decided to do
7576s	their own thing like oh yeah let's split
7578s	up and look for clues boys and so
7580s	atlanta rain they may have died apart
7582s	but they will respawn together and have
7584s	to try and stop this barricade before it
7586s	reaches the sizeable lead that they have
7588s	gained for themselves still four minutes
7589s	on the clock is anybody's matt lemon but
7592s	atlanta rain have a significant alt
7594s	advantage the question is do they use
7596s	these alts in tandem again with ultra
7597s	violet narrowing hawk and then v sound
7600s	barrier overclock flutters like i had
7602s	this bro now i still ended up getting
7604s	the kill on the uv but you don't have
7607s	the sound barrier
7609s	so uh not sure how this push is gonna go
7611s	that was such a barrier cool barrier
7613s	advantage for the rain but a great
7614s	collapse from the dragons on the uv and
7616s	denying those on a heels is so crucial
7619s	the rain don't have a lot of resources
7621s	with just the lucio now the dragons only
7623s	have three members remaining to get this
7625s	pop this push going we'll see if they
7628s	can even tie it up
7629s	they didn't just deny the heels lemon
7632s	it was lost in transit ultraviolet tried
7634s	to use it as some kind of dying
7636s	rattle
7638s	of a cry and yet it was lost in the air
7640s	shanghai dragon simply killed him too
7642s	fast and now fate can actually come in
7643s	from behind and use these mines to make
7645s	sure that atlanta reigns disengage is no
7647s	bueno
7648s	fade place the mines at the pillar when
7651s	maybe i would have liked to use that on
7652s	the bridge especially where that's where
7655s	kai is going to want to be but lip just
7656s	jumps up there and doesn't even find kai
7658s	atlanta rain are playing very on the
7661s	coast side of things
7663s	dragons want to get in there at least
7666s	they're getting some car push but
7667s	they're two meters away there's a
7668s	contest from the atlanta reign to stop
7670s	the lead from going the other way two
7672s	and a half minutes venom
7674s	present hawk meteor strikes to assist
7676s	and atlanta raider being divided and
7678s	conquered as uv falls again just not a
7681s	ton of heals
7682s	and lip dips kai in that moment pulse
7685s	being thrown and misses og
7687s	and this is just barely being held on by
7689s	the dragons who only have faith in fleta
7691s	remaining so the lead will remain in the
7694s	hands of the ring
7696s	venom for now needs to try and back off
7698s	from this one versus two will allow
7699s	fletcher to survive simply because
7701s	controlling the bot at this point is a
7703s	little bit more valuable flatter court
7705s	but can blink out into the safe loving
7707s	arms of legion gone and izzy yaki but i
7709s	don't give so much credit to og there
7711s	took a protracted fight against flatter
7712s	even got out the pulse bomb and managed
7714s	to stall the barricade before leave
7716s	could be gained
7719s	it's just a difference of two meters
7722s	and a half
7723s	and a minute 43 seconds remaining fleta
7726s	with a great double kill starts things
7728s	off well transcendence to keep easy yaki
7731s	up you can criticize that but as long as
7733s	all five are alive and before i say that
7735s	isaki's dead it's fine we'll see if they
7737s	can just get the last two meters
7740s	before the checkpoint i'll drive to slow
7742s	hawk down from the contest
7745s	there is a contest from the top of the
7747s	bridge and there goes the lead for the
7748s	dragons the rain have to fight all the
7751s	way back we could be going into game
7753s	five if this remains the case for the
7755s	next minute and as soon as dragons get
7757s	that lead they go back and try to
7758s	reclaim izayaki
7760s	yeah they back off as yaki was going to
7762s	take way too long to get into that
7764s	position and now fake trying to grab
7766s	kai's he wants to try and chase off
7768s	those who would look to
7770s	catch the staggers is yaki's dead again
7772s	that's the worst possible person to die
7773s	lemon i can't believe hawks even still
7775s	alive i don't think he's gonna live much
7777s	longer but he grabbed mega he had nano
7779s	put all of this just to survive now the
7781s	dragons are gonna close off the road
7783s	with the mines ultraviolet having issues
7785s	escaping he needed the sound there and
7787s	hawk is still there power blocking but
7789s	that's all he's really done
7791s	and the rain have at least claimed to
7792s	kill onto flutter five versus four but
7795s	they gotta remove fate from this picture
7797s	there's not gonna be much progress to be
7799s	made and that's exactly why you just
7800s	utilize this fam and there's so much
7802s	else and survivability but how long will
7804s	you live now that kai has the overclock
7807s	he's not too eager to get on this high
7808s	ground though he wants to be the same
7809s	position especially with the dragons
7811s	that are extending to contest the bot
7814s	and the dragons have the lead at 54
7816s	meters
7817s	but it dips for now you have a three on
7820s	four favoring the atlanta reign the
7822s	meteor strike comes down easy yaki in
7825s	trouble you need the transcendence if
7826s	you're the dragon to maintain this lead
7830s	atlanta or meters away the support's
7832s	still alive atlanta
7835s	keeping fate and check behind and og
7837s	keeps the overtime wick burning you got
7839s	a bustio that was probably intended for
7842s	hawk but atlanta rain are gonna fight
7844s	tooth and nail for these last four
7846s	meters to send one of apex best out of
7850s	the tournament and it's right there
7852s	legion he's gonna try and contest he's
7854s	got the boop he's the last chance for
7857s	the dragons and there's really no one
7859s	else there here comes easy yaki but
7861s	everyone else is coming out of spawn and
7863s	atlanta right have done it the three one
7866s	series win and the shanghai dragons are
7869s	going home
7871s	it's a rematch of the grand finals from
7873s	last year lemon of a sacred timeline has
7875s	been profaned for dragons
7878s	fall from the sky and it's not a blaze
7881s	of glory but a last whimper that's the
7884s	rain the phoenix themselves rise from
7887s	the ashes in a three one they have slain
7892s	one of the gods of apac and they will
7894s	move further in our bracket towards a
7897s	retribution
7900s	izuki lost hair after that one i could
7904s	come back pulling it out
7907s	i can't believe it atlanta rain who
7909s	could have predicted this they are the
7912s	team that can perform so well under
7915s	pressure it started with a game five
7918s	upset in the first round of the lower
7920s	bracket
7921s	slaying the seoul dynasty the number one
7923s	team in aipac
7925s	to going after the dragons in a 3-1 way
7927s	more decisive victory although coliseum
7930s	was anyone's game as we said
7932s	two apac teams gone by the hands of
7934s	atlanta reign
7936s	and now they move on to the next round
7937s	to do it to someone else potentially
7940s	because on the other side they're
7941s	waiting for the hangzhou spark in the
7943s	philadelphia fusion result to be going
7946s	in after this of course
7948s	and atlanta rain has made top four
7952s	yes they have so let's check in with our
7954s	player of the match we apsecutioner
7956s	himself it is of course the hit scan
7959s	liar the hit scan legend killer ai it's
7962s	mr kai and yes for sojourn just as much
7966s	as ever has been bloody deadly and you
7969s	know what just put a little bit of
7970s	genesis widow on top for circuit royale
7974s	you can't deny that atlanta reign are
7976s	this successful because they have one of
7978s	the best sojourn players and you can't
7980s	even talk about how much he did even on
7983s	widow especially his creative plays to
7985s	catch slip off guard to have that last
7987s	push because the atlanta reign went into
7989s	uh circuit royale c with very little
7991s	time coming up to the last 20 seconds
7993s	that they had for a and b they needed to
7996s	try and
7998s	just find a shortcut and they did and
8000s	that was off of a genius play from kai
8002s	using the infrasight
8003s	sniping lip and all the cards from the
8005s	dragons fell from there
8007s	and the stats i mean speak for
8009s	themselves a little higher deaths and i
8011s	think that's because just lip has been
8013s	one of his biggest challenges when it
8015s	came to this series it's a 3-1 for the
8017s	rain but
8018s	it costed rain like some sweat and some
8021s	tears after that one
8023s	that was the thing that kai also brings
8024s	to the table like with this kind of
8026s	reputation comes your
8028s	uh very prevalent inclusion in the plans
8032s	of your opponents and shanghai did do
8034s	their best to try and get on top of kai
8036s	and make sure that he didn't have enough
8037s	space to work with and that in tandem
8039s	allowed for hawk for venom for
8041s	ultraviolet let's try and find these
8043s	openings and collected a few cheeky
8045s	frags here and there that turned fight
8047s	after fight and those fights add up over
8049s	the course of a series lemon and this
8052s	was a a statement once again from the
8056s	atlanta reign they came in as one of the
8058s	blower seats from north america had to
8060s	battle through our first round of games
8063s	and actually lost against the houston
8065s	outlaws in their first outing we were
8066s	like okay
8068s	maybe it's a dud here from the atlanta
8069s	terrain maybe the the magic juju simply
8072s	is not flowing enough with them but it
8074s	seems like uh like a pokemon they are
8077s	just super effective against a pack and
8080s	they'll have to find out who they are
8081s	super effective against later on today
8084s	because we're gonna have to play again
8085s	against the winner of our next matchup
8087s	lemon it's going to be the hangzhou
8089s	spark versus the philadelphia fusion but
8092s	before that we've got overlay on the
8093s	desk and we're going to be with you
8094s	after this break
8096s	face tracer
8099s	i'll come back i can't i can't i can't

8388s	don't know just certified jokes
8391s	all right i mean yeah let's let's talk
8393s	about this match can you do you think
8394s	you could run us through what happened
8395s	at the very last team fight on coliseum
8398s	um honestly i didn't
8401s	i looked at the clock at like 15 seconds
8402s	like oh my god it's last fight so um
8405s	we were all just kind of playing we were
8407s	no one was really panicking at least i
8408s	wasn't and then um
8410s	we started pushing car i didn't remember
8412s	what happened fully i just i it was just
8414s	a blur in my head right now but i
8415s	remember going on
8417s	lip i missed a couple shots and i
8419s	eventually got him and i almost killed
8420s	alicia
8421s	with the power punch i wasn't able to
8422s	and um
8424s	then we just cleaned up one point
8425s	because alicia was only one allowed to
8426s	touch yeah
8427s	and you guys clutched out the win so for
8429s	today's match we're going to shanghai
8430s	dragons did you guys have any like
8431s	particular game plan going into today's
8433s	match
8434s	um
8436s	not i mean
8438s	we just try to play our strengths and uh
8439s	win our map picks and hopefully you know
8442s	uh just
8443s	win one of theirs as well because you
8444s	have to and um
8447s	kind of played our game you know like we
8450s	had a couple strats didn't work a couple
8451s	strats did and um just finally happy to
8454s	be at them okay and of course with
8456s	today's win you guys are going to be
8457s	going up against either
8459s	honza spark or the philadelphia fusion
8460s	right um yeah and you are really good at
8462s	this because yesterday when we talked
8464s	you guessed the shanghai dragons are
8465s	going to be your next opponent and it
8466s	came true so who do you think you're
8468s	gonna actually not tomorrow sorry
8470s	tonight yeah who do you think you guys
8471s	are going to be playing against
8473s	probably
8475s	i'm gonna go spark i'm gonna go spark on
8477s	this one um
8478s	unless mn3 just starts aimbot in the
8480s	lobby
8481s	and um let's show i can match him so
8484s	it's hard to tell but i want to go spark
8486s	because they look pretty good yesterday
8488s	yeah well that match is coming up right
8490s	after this uh hawk thank you so much for
8492s	your time and with that being said
8493s	awfully take it away
8497s	thanks danny back-to-back hawk
8498s	interviews back-to-back series wins for
8501s	the rain congratulations to the
8503s	the team as he said the last what minute
8506s	he said in the overtime was like a blur
8507s	to him he had no idea what was going on
8509s	i could speak to that i've had the same
8511s	thing where like you have so much
8513s	adrenaline going through your body
8514s	sometimes like obviously in the moment
8515s	it's like you have you ever driven a car
8517s	and then you like you like black out and
8519s	you don't realize what's been happening
8521s	but you got to the destination that's
8522s	kind of what happened for this overwatch
8524s	league it can happen there's so much
8526s	going through and yeah they got the wins
8528s	yeah can relate to that you know some of
8530s	my pro games on stage just like play of
8532s	instinct and then we were like oh what
8534s	happened at leading tower and i'm like
8535s	i don't know i think akm won cassie or
8537s	something
8539s	i can't i can understand that but scott
8542s	i'm going to speak to someone to revoke
8544s	your license because that just doesn't
8545s	sound very safe but i haven't crashed
8547s	yet but here we go
8549s	you know who did kind of crash today the
8551s	shanghai dragons johnny what happened
8553s	because you were rooned for them you
8555s	predicted them and meanwhile we were
8556s	sitting over here hey i predicted
8558s	atlanta today are you predicting atlanta
8560s	for the the match yes look i was on the
8562s	aipac train yesterday
8565s	i abandoned like half of my hope for the
8568s	region
8569s	now
8571s	well spark or unique okay shy is a very
8574s	specific individual that i like to keep
8576s	in mind but the shanghai dragons
8578s	i thought that they would come out this
8580s	tournament and just be this like gold
8582s	tier wrecking ball tracer sojourn team
8585s	isayaki and legion put on their
8587s	strengths
8588s	and
8589s	in the end no i'm not gonna go there uh
8591s	you know they they were forced to adapt
8592s	they were forced to adapt like i said
8594s	like in the pre-show i said if i was the
8596s	shanghai dragons
8597s	i just didn't have enough like
8599s	comfortability playing the wrecking ball
8600s	and just like leaning on that i think
8602s	throughout the tournament they
8604s	recognized that fleda was not able to
8605s	keep up with the tracer play-off the
8607s	likes of venom
8609s	and so many other good tracers for the
8611s	fusion of course uh profit kepster like
8614s	fleta is just not that good of a tracer
8616s	anymore he can't really compete with
8619s	those guys and so it makes it really
8621s	difficult to pull off these you know
8623s	mechanically skilled dive compositions
8625s	when you're losing that tracer battle
8627s	and so i think the shanghai dragons they
8628s	lean into the doomfist you know they
8630s	even play some russian leader tower um
8632s	we saw circuit real come out which uh
8634s	you know was atlanta reigns pick and
8636s	they looked pretty you know competitive
8638s	here but fled us what they were to the
8639s	genji isayaki to the brigitte because
8641s	they recognized we can't take this
8643s	sniper duel so we're just going to put
8645s	our entire bet to be around the brigitte
8648s	rally and the genji died and we're just
8650s	going to push in as five and try to win
8651s	like the brawl so the shanghai dragons
8653s	they can't have a abandoned hope like i
8655s	thought they would it just seems like
8656s	individually they weren't able to
8658s	compete with some of the elite teams
8659s	here at this tournament i would have
8661s	liked to have seen more of the winston
8663s	echo from the shanghai dragons obviously
8665s	like you can't do that on a soccer route
8666s	but even on coliseum you can kind of
8669s	make it work because they're going in
8670s	with this wrecking ball zenyatta which
8672s	isn't working really against the
8673s	doomfist they couldn't win in that
8675s	doomfist mirror as well we saw that on
8677s	li jiang tower so i don't know like the
8679s	only time that they really looked
8680s	comfortable and it felt like that they
8682s	were at full power was when we had
8684s	flutter on that echo and fade on their
8685s	winston they're comfort heroes so a
8687s	little disappointing to see him go out
8689s	but i agree with johnny i expected more
8690s	from this wrecking ball composition in
8692s	this tournament but it just didn't show
8693s	up yeah i have to say as well like i the
8696s	winston was something that i mentioned
8697s	in the pre-show it's like you know if
8698s	you force faith winston versus hawk
8700s	winston that's a match up you can win
8702s	that's really good but you know you win
8704s	hybrid so you don't get the escort pick
8706s	and where you could have played the rod
8708s	or you instead play circuit real this
8709s	map pool is not very friendly to winston
8712s	players compared to wrecking ball and
8713s	doomfist and so you know maybe future
8715s	stages we change up the map pool or
8716s	something maybe you can play that
8718s	winston a bit more reliably but in the
8720s	current meta like doomfist and wrecking
8721s	ball is usually the way to go
8723s	but again shanghai dragons being
8724s	eliminated this is our fifth seed team
8727s	out of 12 of course so i mean having
8730s	this
8732s	i was gonna i was calling them a titan
8734s	at the beginning because you thought
8735s	that they were going to push all the way
8736s	through i believe you took my word for
8738s	it
8739s	exactly right i was like well if johnny
8741s	my analyst says that they're gonna crush
8743s	they should but it felt a little flat
8746s	are you staying by a mouse just before
8748s	no honey just your predictions
8752s	from the beginning of the day but just
8754s	really quick uh before we head into the
8756s	brackets just this team getting knocked
8758s	out so early what does that mean for the
8759s	rest of the event kind of anything can
8761s	happen well the sole dynasty went out in
8762s	the first round as well like we said
8764s	from the east the two teams to look at
8766s	were shanghai and seoul and they just
8767s	fell flat and now we have to put our
8769s	hopes and dreams for the east in the
8771s	hong joo spark and the philadelphia
8773s	fusion no no this is the darkest
8775s	timeline as an east region as a whole
8778s	sorry about mark has been playing well
8779s	philly has been playing well maybe they
8781s	can pull out some magic but it
8782s	definitely looks like the west have a
8784s	better grasp in this matter right now
8785s	well let's take a look at the updated
8788s	lower bracket now that we have the
8789s	results of that game because next up we
8792s	are going to see the fusion take on the
8794s	spark and would you look at that atlanta
8796s	moving on to uh the final match today
8799s	later on uh this evening and next up
8802s	we're gonna see the spark take on the
8804s	fusion and i do believe scott you and me
8808s	have predicted fusion we're keeping the
8810s	the fusion faith alive meanwhile
8813s	reinforce you um are you going with
8815s	spark there again buddy
8817s	got one are you arguing against shy and
8819s	super
8820s	i am i am arguing i have baseless claims
8823s	but i know that the fusion is going to
8825s	win just purely on faith yeah that's
8827s	going to make the loser bracket run
8829s	straight into that what you can do is
8830s	you can say that you're basically
8832s	cheering for the fusion but you can't
8833s	say baselessly that you're going to win
8835s	cause that's that's not what it's like
8837s	being a fusion fan okay that's that's
8838s	where it breaks apart
8840s	saying that they're gonna win yeah what
8842s	they do that all the time that's kind of
8843s	their thing
8846s	you couldn't even keep it together you
8848s	couldn't even give it together diffusion
8850s	winning
8852s	no it's not happening no all right okay
8854s	johnny johnny's right i i like what
8858s	here's the thing okay i have baselessly
8860s	gone for the prediction for the
8862s	philadelphia fusion just because you
8863s	swayed me and just because i think it's
8865s	a funny narrative i'm just i'm just
8867s	having god i've strapped him forward the
8869s	spark no i didn't the spark buddy okay
8871s	here's what we're doing join the sparks
8876s	philadelphia
8884s	so
8885s	there we go i'm sticking with the
8886s	philadelphia fusion for absolutely
8888s	let's go
8889s	let me see the faith for the fusion in
8891s	the chat but of course if the spark do
8893s	pull ahead i guess shy is kind of a good
8896s	player reinforces not having this at all
8898s	we're gonna go ahead we'll get you some
8900s	uh you know headache medication then
8902s	we're gonna get you a box of tissues for
8904s	when the spark inevitably lose to the
8905s	fusion completely baseless claims but uh
8908s	you know that's our analysis for the day
8910s	we're gonna take a quick break but don't
8911s	go anywhere because when we come back we
8913s	are going to see this super hype match
8915s	of the philadelphia fusion versus the
8917s	hong kong spark johnny don't cry it's
8919s	gonna be okay it's gonna be okay buddy

9164s	welcome back everyone to the overwatch
9166s	league mid-season madness it truly is
9170s	madness out here atlanta rain if you are
9173s	just tuning in this is a spoiler stream
9176s	but
9177s	they have slain both apex top favorites
9179s	of the seoul dynasty and the shanghai
9182s	dragons but apac's last hope remain in
9185s	this next match is the hangzhou spark
9187s	going up against the philadelphia fusion
9190s	for elimination and for top four
9193s	yes lemon the shanghai dragons have been
9194s	sent to the graveyard no monster reborn
9197s	gonna be bringing them back alas we
9199s	shall have to say goodbye to yet another
9201s	apac team and it cannot be avoided it's
9204s	apac versus apac down here and the apac
9206s	brackets also known as the lower bracket
9209s	and moving into this we need to just get
9211s	on and talk about these players because
9213s	while everyone's in the lower bracket
9215s	everyone here deserves to be in the
9216s	tournaments bring up those philly
9218s	starters so i can tell you all about my
9221s	boy bello soria it's not been the
9224s	greatest start to the season for bellows
9226s	rear coming in a little bit later
9227s	compared to the rest of the team where
9229s	they must have fury as the start of a
9231s	fusion but bellow spree has really come
9233s	into his own here in the mid-season
9235s	madness picking up the wrecking ball
9236s	that the desk were just talking about
9238s	the map lends itself really well to
9240s	wrecking ball and the more speedy
9242s	stealthy and from behind engages he is
9245s	working incredibly well with mn3 and
9247s	zest to architect those and bellows
9249s	ria's role on this team is usually the
9251s	hammond player is so important because
9253s	of that space creation because guess
9255s	who's gonna pop off with a little bit of
9257s	space and peace and quiet it's mn3 who's
9260s	really the star of the show when it
9262s	comes to ash and sojourn but really just
9265s	a standout player in aipac when it comes
9268s	to the ash and i'm excited to see what
9271s	he can do he's definitely in the
9272s	discussion of top hit scans in the
9274s	league and you know the sojourn in the
9276s	widow it stacks up well too but you
9278s	can't talk about mn3 without zest and
9281s	how he's a beast on the tracer you might
9284s	even play echo on more open maps still
9286s	prefers tracer on even more open maps
9289s	like lighthouse but their opponent is a
9292s	tough one the hungzhou spark around the
9295s	corner let's see their starters
9298s	yeah from one top hit scan to the top
9300s	hit scan it's shy baby i think that uh
9303s	right now the indie person is really
9304s	holding up a candle to shy is probably
9306s	kai and there's a reason that their
9308s	names rhyme shy when you look at the
9311s	sojourn when you look at the ash when
9313s	you look at the widowmaker this guy
9315s	flicks like nobody else he's got
9317s	patience of the hunter in his blood and
9320s	puts it to excellent use to always find
9322s	the frag
9323s	i mean shai also had what 85 percent
9326s	rail accuracy on sojourn yesterday like
9329s	that i don't know if this person is real
9332s	i i shy is
9333s	i don't think anyone can argue with me
9335s	uh statistically it's just the best so
9337s	jordan in the league but when you look
9339s	at shai and alpha yi together top you
9341s	gotta say it's a top dbf dps duo in the
9344s	league alfie is just very flexible uh
9347s	whether on the tracer i call them the
9349s	alpha yet because his pulse bombs are
9351s	just out of this world but he can also
9353s	flex to genji and echo and other things
9355s	and he's the preferred tracer on the
9357s	team and he's pretty disgusting and is
9359s	having a really good performance this
9361s	tournament too and i think you know
9362s	talking to some apac kiddos out there
9365s	alpha yi is in the conversation for
9367s	rookie of the year because he's
9368s	projectile player by trade and you know
9370s	has played some echo but hasn't had the
9373s	most ideal echo targets we've seen some
9376s	lucio and moira's but if i really had to
9378s	nitpick perfection that's where i would
9380s	draw at well you're talking now for yi
9383s	and i'm talking alpha gamers because
9385s	unfortunately we don't have philadelphia
9387s	fusion's uh webcams at the moment that's
9389s	because we're all at home quarantining
9390s	because of kovid but uh i don't know
9392s	about you lemon but if i hadn't heard it
9395s	from the the source itself i wouldn't
9397s	know that they were suffering from
9399s	covert philadelphia fusion for resolve
9402s	for resolute determination to continue
9406s	owning in the mid-season mantis has not
9408s	been affected by circumstance the only
9411s	circumstance that matters to
9412s	philadelphia fusion is that they are in
9416s	this match and they're trying to avoid a
9418s	limb
9419s	the hangzhou spark
9420s	have the better seed coming into this
9423s	tournament so that means they get to
9425s	choose our first map and they want to go
9428s	to oasis now aipac really loves their
9432s	winston their ball and their dive tanks
9434s	in general but when you see bernard in
9435s	the lineup over goose way that tells me
9437s	either sigma or hammond and as we go to
9440s	oasis gardens it's good for both those
9442s	things but mainly the hammond and i
9444s	wonder how that's going to match up
9446s	against bello sria which that's mostly
9447s	what he's playing as a play with the
9449s	occasional zarya here and there
9452s	the occasional zarya peppered in for
9454s	bernard of course he is uh
9456s	and for bellowsphere as well
9458s	philadelphia fusion i expect them to try
9462s	and match for tracer here but alpha yi i
9464s	think that has probably been the best
9466s	individual tracer thus far probably
9468s	matching wits with kevster and venom in
9471s	that top uh echelon but when it comes to
9473s	individual pop-off moments and claiming
9475s	all of the frags it's either alfie or
9477s	shai who just commandeer a fight for
9479s	themselves neither of these players is
9480s	more of a supportive dps they both are
9483s	titans in their own right already
9485s	philadelphia fusion have positioned
9487s	themselves atop the point as it is gonna
9489s	be a mirror match up here
9491s	and the spark when they face the fusion
9493s	in the first round it was a 3-1 victory
9496s	so
9497s	how did the fusion re rewrite this
9500s	script see bella sria below either
9502s	hoping to knock off those numbers from
9504s	the spark off the high ground or into
9506s	the low ground or really into the water
9508s	that'd be great but already alpha yi is
9510s	getting involved in the rest of the
9512s	spark coalescing into the fusion but
9514s	alpha it actually blinks into a pile
9517s	drive it's okay bodies falling both
9518s	sides and only super rich remains as a
9521s	healer for the spark and he's trying to
9523s	play passive but he's been isolated and
9525s	bernard has left him but doesn't want it
9527s	doesn't seem like bellaria wants to
9528s	commit because he's more concerned with
9530s	trying to cap the point while the rest
9531s	of the fusion are dead
9533s	you know these teams want to give up the
9535s	first control in particular because it's
9536s	so important to be able to start
9538s	accruing that percentage as you continue
9540s	fighting zest claimed by burn after shy
9543s	softened them up with a little bit of
9544s	pounding from the rail gun speaking of
9546s	founding he continues to do so aim god
9549s	is on the bad side of the rail and
9551s	hongzhou spark can now settle into a
9552s	defensive position which is so
9554s	advantageous for a wrecking ball and a
9557s	sojourn because it means that you can
9559s	start building up that rail charge early
9561s	on these teams as they're commuting and
9563s	you can start on high ground so you can
9564s	get yourself a freebie pile driver
9567s	and speaking of pile drives bellows aria
9569s	doing a whole lot already 15 off of
9571s	mines could be one of the first
9572s	ultimates if you don't count the
9574s	count the pulse bombs which is fastest
9576s	generating ultimate in the game there
9577s	goes bella serea pile drive on the high
9580s	ground the shield from super rich blocks
9582s	the impact as he heads over to the
9583s	hallway
9584s	bellasriya can flush that out with some
9586s	mines we'll get that in a few seconds
9588s	but zest has the pulse bomb and already
9590s	they
9591s	fusion have started to ward away smart
9593s	from the objective but you should just
9595s	can't seem to get the flip yet and
9596s	that's all the spark have to do is just
9598s	survive but as if a rich goes to because
9600s	it's a point he jumps to a post ball and
9602s	ms dory has already shot two people
9605s	fusion hoping slowly but surely to turn
9607s	the objective over and it's 57 for spark
9610s	before they do so
9612s	ah fixes little grippers can't get back
9614s	on to a point unfortunately but in the
9616s	end lemon fusion still flip the point
9619s	and it feels like zest near men3 are
9621s	coming in hot today yes shaya's got a
9624s	couple of picks on to aim god but mn3 in
9626s	the midst of a fight is at a much easier
9628s	time negotiating themselves into some
9630s	headshots on some more prepared targets
9633s	now fusion from this defensive fostering
9635s	have themselves a minefield it's gonna
9637s	be counted by bernard and irony is
9639s	outpacing when it comes to the
9641s	transcendence which is so good for
9642s	clearing those mines no overclock for
9645s	you
9646s	says i'm the better sojourn already
9648s	overclocks exchange mn3 getting no value
9650s	out of his dropping first in the fight
9652s	rally from fixa to keep what's whatever
9655s	is remaining from the fusion which is
9656s	everyone exiting but at least you trade
9658s	up with the transcendence of irony so
9660s	not all is lost but spark have regained
9662s	the point
9663s	i think uh while it does keep fusion
9666s	alive and not staggered i don't think
9667s	fix is going to be overly happy with
9669s	that rally now aim god is going to be
9671s	under an immense amount of pressure when
9673s	people start to get low to pop this
9675s	transcendence especially after bernard
9677s	and alfie move together as a diving unit
9679s	bellows rear at least it's creating some
9681s	space here and super rich could be in
9683s	trouble
9684s	looks like super rich was able to dodge
9686s	the mines for now
9688s	still have the transcendence and a pulse
9690s	bomb from actually either side
9692s	there's the rally first from super rich
9694s	full spot though on the irony it's super
9697s	rich again doesn't have much to heal not
9699s	even himself and stars is going
9700s	absolutely feral for fusion but it is 97
9704s	and growing for the spark and the spark
9706s	don't have any healers they'll have to
9707s	give this up so the fusion at the fight
9709s	tooth and nail if they want to turn this
9711s	round around
9713s	good news for custard overlay on the
9715s	desk it seems like zest and bellows have
9716s	both plugged themselves into the same
9718s	matrix terminal their target focus is
9720s	looking real good right now we've been
9722s	killing super rich through the rally
9724s	which is a quite difficult thing to do
9726s	when you're continuously getting that
9727s	additional overheal from the ultimate
9730s	hunger spark now they're making a wide
9732s	orbit here trying to catch out anyone
9733s	who's on too epic a flank including
9735s	bellows rear right now you can see a
9737s	silhouette just exchanging fire with
9739s	shine bernard
9741s	through the fire in the flames we'll see
9743s	if the fusion can hold on to the
9744s	objective it's really only zest
9746s	contesting it
9748s	stopping the flip from the spark as the
9751s	fusion want to control the sides of the
9752s	map and start to pressure out the spark
9754s	supports we're trying to hide what the
9755s	chase is on for alpha yi and he finds
9757s	bella cereal shy gets the diff mn3 again
9761s	who's been a big star for the fusion
9762s	getting those multi kills alpha he gets
9764s	zero kills with that pulse spawn but all
9766s	that matters is who's gonna be touching
9768s	the poi for the fusion it's over time
9770s	for the spark the transcendence and the
9772s	rally overlap that's the type of
9774s	presence of alpha he has in the back
9775s	line to scare those supports to death
9778s	but the fusion don't get really any
9779s	kills from the big advantage they had
9781s	until now a great pulse from zest but
9784s	it's traded back and forth and bernard
9786s	is pummeling the back line as we look at
9789s	the poi there's three members of the
9790s	fusion who are successfully getting the
9792s	flip back three members of the spark
9794s	remain in the middle of the match and
9796s	shai is taking bullets to the face of
9798s	belgria as irony use the transcendence
9800s	to keep shy up he knows he can't afford
9803s	to lose shy and the overclock could be a
9805s	big win condition for the spark 99 to 91
9808s	flip back over to the spark overclock
9810s	from the low ground hoping to connect
9813s	all them and three when he's hiding and
9815s	that's what you gotta do you can't be
9816s	taking that duel but a jumping jump and
9819s	shy is dead a great pile drive from
9821s	bella sorry to stop any more kills from
9823s	the from the spark we're left with the
9825s	four versus four and this is just a
9827s	fight that never ends like they
9829s	spin to win for now philadelphia
9832s	confusion is all about an mn3 has bought
9835s	themselves an overclock rail charge for
9837s	days baby but the flip is not
9839s	forthcoming just yet finally alpha years
9841s	slain and once more this point will
9843s	change hands unfortunately for
9845s	philadelphia fusion in the midst of that
9846s	final fight they actually allowed hunger
9848s	spark to flip it and that's why overtime
9849s	was going on and on i don't know if
9851s	anyone's here to touch and the overhead
9852s	map says no philadelphia fusion claim
9856s	our first stage and i would love to know
9858s	what's going on in the truck at the
9859s	moment i bet there are some words being
9861s	exchanged
9863s	the fact that poor obviously like her
9865s	first week in the overwatch league and
9867s	she became a fusion fan and just we
9870s	tried to warn her
9871s	but so far
9873s	you can have opium in the fusion but you
9875s	can't be happy until the series is over
9878s	but who could have predicted fusion
9881s	fighting for a top four spot over
9883s	shanghai dragons and the seoul dynasty
9886s	it really is the mid-season madness
9892s	madness is everywhere
9894s	however i'm just sparked we've got to
9896s	remember they've claimed a very valuable
9899s	scalp on this map previously defeating
9901s	the la gladiators who are going to be
9904s	playing later on today against the san
9905s	francisco shock in our winners final
9907s	that is by no means that should not be
9910s	considered mn3 returns to ash the same
9913s	for shy both of these ashes they're all
9915s	about instant dps being delivered in
9917s	tandem with the power drivers but the
9919s	question is who's wrecking ball be able
9921s	to pass their way to a back line first
9924s	and when it comes to those ashes oh
9926s	they do be headshot you've got the
9928s	consistent damages which is what makes
9930s	ash unique over sojourn is that soldier
9932s	does scale up and has insane one-shot
9935s	potential but the headshots just the
9937s	accuracy that m3 and shy have is
9939s	unbelievable the coach gun doesn't hurt
9941s	if there's a messy hammond up in your
9943s	face which has been i mean bella sorry
9945s	and bernard are relentless but first cap
9948s	going over to spark maybe but zest is
9950s	trying to deny it but has already forced
9952s	to use recall he comes back up and are
9955s	playing really passive it has to be
9957s	bernard that wants to shove everyone
9959s	back but he's more concerned with the
9960s	backline of the fusion here comes bella
9962s	three to assists death to stop the cap
9965s	from the spark 75 percent of the weight
9967s	there and still no cap
9969s	bella soria though hoping to pressure
9972s	the spark who is taking shelter over on
9973s	the highway side as the fusion want
9976s	maybe to take over the high ground but
9978s	for now they do get pile drive but
9980s	bernard didn't have enough health to
9981s	really get away with that even with
9982s	alpha yi in the picture so it will be
9985s	fusion up first but without aim god and
9988s	ballistria low we're really going to
9990s	come down to some ultimates before we
9992s	see a first cap like that
9994s	okay support of combat gonna be the
9997s	order of the day today look how much
9998s	irony is outpaced ain't god when it
10000s	comes to this transcendence 40 percent
10004s	ahead irony has been doing a lot more
10006s	damage getting some value out of that
10008s	harmony orb as well and now spark
10010s	they've been able to take this first
10012s	fight without any old expenditure they
10014s	are ready almost for a five ultimate
10016s	defense and that's going to take
10017s	philadelphia fusion so long to break
10020s	through asses seemingly is already
10022s	trying to use his pulse bomb even if it
10024s	has a born
10026s	i'm one with the plant the plant is with
10028s	me
10028s	can you plant this pulse bomb somewhere
10030s	nice seat but no stick i'm the not
10033s	enough air on that one spark though
10036s	because they got the first cap they can
10037s	just play stall they don't even have to
10040s	take a fight they can just roll around
10042s	and keep contesting until 99 percent
10044s	because it's so difficult for the fusion
10046s	to get this back they need to decide to
10048s	victory and they've already started the
10049s	rally but they lost mn3
10052s	who might have thrown the bob but the
10053s	block went over to the mega side where
10056s	the teleporter is yeah there it is here
10058s	so any stragglers that want to go on any
10060s	type of flanks are just on the coast
10062s	side they get shot at and shy found that
10064s	out the hard way now people are getting
10065s	shoved into traffic already look look
10067s	both ways
10068s	it's too late he's dead and now spark
10071s	don't have any healers but they can just
10072s	try to live for as long as they can i
10074s	think they still have bernard nope he's
10076s	gone so a decisive fight for fusion and
10078s	the flipping their way
10080s	unexpected value there from a backstab
10082s	bob and hangzhou spark actually used all
10084s	of their armory in that fight as well
10086s	every single ultimate they had available
10088s	was used and admittedly after you did
10090s	enough damage to get back up towards
10091s	getting another pulse bomb but zest is
10093s	keeping pace and now hongzhou spark they
10096s	don't have much to deal with below
10097s	syria's minefield here if he makes a
10099s	good engagement with the minefield and
10101s	pile driver it could be guns
10104s	hoping to drop those mines and either
10106s	the teleporter or the bridge chooses the
10108s	bridge
10110s	so it seems the fusion we're sorry the
10112s	spark
10113s	have to clear those before going out to
10115s	the higher irony just oh okay i thought
10117s	he walked into that no it was a zest
10118s	pulse bomb he's been sick of those
10120s	really well now
10121s	you go after shy he's already forced to
10123s	use recall has to head on back for mini
10125s	or the orb from aim god pixel has the
10128s	rally ready
10129s	and bella cereal is just
10131s	bulldozing people and without super rich
10133s	sparklers just gonna have a tough time
10135s	thinking this so they're gonna actually
10136s	fully reset
10137s	yeah sparks formation there was actually
10139s	spread super wide and it was shy no no
10142s	no no no you don't get to get two random
10144s	headshot kills the dps of fusion are
10146s	dead how do they try and play this now
10148s	for rally lemon is for choice
10151s	yeah for now it's a five on three and
10153s	the spark no they have a chance to flip
10155s	this while fusion play passive for their
10157s	last remaining members to get back
10159s	elsery has taken a lot of hits shy's so
10161s	close to the bop too if he wants to
10163s	flush out the fusion he can and the
10165s	kills continue to go the sparks way as
10169s	fusion even try a pile drive so low but
10172s	they're really just throwing bodies on
10173s	the objective to extend with the the
10175s	lead that the fusion do have
10178s	yeah you claim shy but the sparks should
10180s	be healthy beyond this and they have
10182s	holes to keep this going even more
10185s	and the thing is fixer had to pop the
10186s	rally there just for fusion to even get
10188s	a fight here's a quick look at how shy
10189s	managed to dispatch a bow for
10191s	philadelphia fusion's dps and look at
10193s	this bellows rear was actually reporting
10195s	over the location of shine with the 3d
10197s	peak as well and the pings and they both
10199s	still got shot in the noggin
10201s	unbelievable shy now has a bob to try
10204s	and contest this point and this point's
10206s	easy to contest anyway so it could be
10208s	that hangzhou spark actually try and
10209s	play this from the high ground while
10210s	philadelphia fusion have to stay on the
10212s	low to keep over time ticking yeah mm3's
10215s	last bob actually went towards the side
10217s	that you just saw bella cereal bowl from
10219s	and i'd like to see more point presence
10221s	with the mobs unless
10223s	it's really about what position you want
10225s	to force them to be in now the bob first
10227s	from mn3 at the back hongzhou spark
10230s	thinks it's killable they deal with the
10232s	bob first but they lost shy in the
10234s	process rally starts from super rich
10236s	they have the irony transcendence just
10237s	in case alpha he hopes to land a stick
10240s	and bernard sets up the pins for him to
10242s	hit down
10243s	you see fixing was isolated for a second
10245s	i think he realizes that fixer has him
10248s	marked
10249s	and there's a pulse bomb at the ready
10250s	but you don't even need it yet they get
10252s	the stake when it forces the
10253s	transcendence remains gone now fusion
10255s	need to win this play here and now only
10258s	other resources and the kills are
10260s	already going their way it's 87
10263s	fusion still looking for the flip and
10266s	the spark keep contesting they keep
10268s	thinking it's winnable and they somehow
10270s	drew out the rally from pixel i don't
10272s	know if that was necessary
10274s	drawing out the rally is huge however
10276s	the real thing that needs to be dealt
10277s	with here for hangzhou spark is this
10280s	minefield if irony has to use for trance
10282s	to get through the minefield to contest
10284s	things will go very wrong very fast
10287s	99
10288s	for the fusion spark looking for the
10290s	flip they go downstairs with the brides
10292s	but bella sorry it's so good to force
10294s	out the irony transcendence he'll use
10296s	that to clear the minds potentially
10298s	the red carpet laid for the spark
10301s	fusion head to the high ground a pile
10303s	drive right on the super rich fusion
10305s	start to coalesce around them they have
10307s	the sparks backline against the wall shy
10309s	is trying to protect them but he's so
10310s	low himself but the sparks flank of
10313s	albion bernard is even stronger and shot
10316s	hits the third kill spark head for the
10318s	flip over time is about to go it away in
10320s	the blink of an eye and zest is dueling
10323s	he wasn't concerned with the point and
10325s	neither was bella's ria we head into
10327s	round three
10329s	oh my hungzhou spark yes they had their
10332s	route they had their
10334s	transcendence forced out by that
10335s	minefield just so irony could join the
10337s	fight but philadelphia fusion could not
10340s	find the frags on the isolated members
10342s	like bernard who were in the midst of
10344s	their backline trying to continually tap
10346s	tap tap upon this point keep overtime
10348s	going to reduce the pressure on irony
10351s	and super rich to put themselves in a
10352s	dangerous situation it will all come
10355s	down to university lemon previous sins
10357s	have been forgiven the slate has been
10359s	wiped clean but the plays remain just as
10362s	dirty bernard is going to move over onto
10366s	the doomfist
10368s	as these dives have been
10370s	crazy the fact that sparks a back line
10372s	survived just a little bit longer here's
10374s	the symmetra teleporter to get spark
10376s	into a favorable position to the minipak
10379s	side with the doomfist these close range
10381s	quarters is exactly where bernard wants
10383s	to be fusion they like the open space so
10386s	bellow syria already heads to coast side
10389s	and that makes space for mn3 to have a
10391s	bit of a high ground to work with but
10392s	yeah emma three's dealing with some
10394s	troubles over there and zes is not able
10396s	to help him out meanwhile he got shy
10398s	dominating the left side until m3 gets
10400s	charged up and finishes him off
10403s	now you got this tussle in the hustle
10404s	but it's fusion hoping to cap first and
10406s	bella
10407s	is choosing whether to go get involved
10409s	in the fight or go for the objective and
10411s	he caps first but because of that
10412s	decision mn3 dies so fusion might get a
10416s	couple percentage but we'll see how long
10418s	that will be held on for alpha yi and
10420s	shai are on the objective and fusion
10422s	immediately lose control and there's
10424s	nothing belo soria can do about it
10426s	bernard with an excellent take there's
10428s	right isolate fixer and you can see that
10429s	below is under consistent pressure the
10432s	doomfist does such a good job of trying
10433s	to control the movement of the wrecking
10435s	ball and now mn3 forced to use their
10437s	slide to get away from bernard that
10438s	means it's going to be much more
10439s	difficult to escape alphagi later on
10442s	big pig from mn3 irony and super rich
10445s	are dead
10447s	this die from fusion is nice
10450s	so besides sometimes being the
10452s	philadelphia confusion where they don't
10454s	work together when they do have that
10456s	synergy they look incredible and i think
10458s	that's why they are this far in this
10460s	tournament so they will have the point
10461s	for now
10464s	as well there's nothing to really answer
10466s	irony does not have banana yet but you'd
10469s	give over to super rich to try and give
10470s	that additional hardiness and of course
10472s	you can try and bully out there we go
10474s	perfect stick
10476s	i gotta throw a five dollar to my stash
10478s	people and see what this pulse bob
10480s	attacher from zest is he does so much
10483s	for the fusion fixes starts the rally
10486s	and i think that was uh getting scared
10487s	by alfie throwing the pulse in the back
10489s	doesn't connect onto anything
10491s	so fusion may rest for now as the spark
10493s	regain
10496s	63 attach rate for zest of as far below
10499s	with the mind up into the air and down
10501s	into hades maybe no
10503s	it's a nice disengage from a hangzhou
10505s	spark and now they'll simply take their
10506s	time this actually allows shy to build
10508s	up the railgun as well by shooting the
10509s	knights
10511s	cap for now for fusion transcendence and
10513s	overclock almost up but it's spark at
10515s	the three old advantage nano rally
10518s	overclock at the ready shy has mini pack
10520s	room with his support the the nano given
10523s	to shy as he wants to finish off bellows
10526s	real the only thing contesting this for
10527s	the fusion a spark definitely needs a
10529s	flip and shy gets two
10531s	he sees the recall from zest wanting to
10534s	read this one asleep on defensive
10536s	he's just built differently and seth
10538s	will contest for a few more seconds to
10540s	get it up to 82 but spark back in the
10543s	driver's seat just like bellows
10545s	mid-season madness irony has really had
10547s	a couple of breakout games here in this
10549s	tournament proving himself to be a
10551s	flexible who deserves to be on a top
10553s	four team in the world potentially
10556s	mn3 with the overclock looking to try
10559s	and emulate shy's previous performance
10560s	and thus far right they've been going
10562s	about equal the attempt to boot them
10564s	into a bomb lemon i was almost so cool
10566s	by bella three asses down and so is that
10568s	at three
10569s	shy and friends just coalescing spark
10571s	moving as a unit looking for even
10574s	stagger kills any second they can buy to
10576s	get this lead back spark will do
10578s	anything for it
10580s	they're overextending they haven't been
10581s	punished for it yet alpha he uses a
10584s	couple blinks to get away and as fusion
10586s	looked at alpha yi shai looked at them
10588s	back and even harder and spark
10591s	will kill off zest and buy some seconds
10594s	okay i said that shine mn3 had been
10596s	about equal but that's twice now that
10597s	mn3 has popped overclock and instantly
10599s	been told to sit down and shut up by shy
10602s	and this means mn3 now been forced to go
10604s	over onto the instant damage that's
10606s	offered by the ashford dynamite yes can
10608s	force people out of positions but it
10610s	might be a little bit harder to follow
10611s	up on
10614s	alfie is just too good it's just him for
10617s	success against the world and the two
10619s	picks and 94 5
10622s	for the spark the transcendence is
10624s	forced someone from the fusion has to
10626s	touch
10627s	and it has to be zest he's already
10629s	recalled out who is next zest comes in
10632s	but he's auntie bella sorry is in the
10633s	picture he's supposed to fight he's been
10635s	slept all the damage of the spark is
10637s	going to bellasriya he's barely escaping
10639s	he's drawn the spark back but there's no
10641s	front line for the fusion to keep this
10643s	one going you have the ultimates
10645s	overclock ready for shy and the nano who
10649s	can possibly stop this man the fusion
10651s	has nothing left in the tank even
10654s	through the genji and all the soldiers
10656s	they sent to the battlefield the spark
10659s	will ignite and take map number one
10662s	you line them up and shy will simply
10664s	knock them down hung joe's spark what a
10667s	masterclass from their dps shy every
10671s	time you save at this end now it says
10672s	yes it does but not the way you wanted
10675s	it to an alpha yi making sure on that
10678s	tracer that no one was ever safe in any
10680s	of their hidey holes the sticks came
10682s	thick and they came fast but
10685s	unfortunately
10687s	for the philadelphia fusion it's going
10689s	to be an ignominious beginning to their
10691s	lower bracket run
10693s	the 63 attach rate from
10696s	zes i mean we got we'll probably get to
10698s	compare those to alfie because it's been
10700s	neck and neck especially even between
10702s	mn3 and shy on the ash and the sojourn
10705s	it is chaos and spark are ahead first
10708s	we're going to throw it to a break let
10711s	the fusion decide where they want to go
10712s	next
10721s	hey jabari long time no see
10728s	[Music]
10737s	[Music]
10748s	do

10972s	[Music]
10980s	what a map between our superstars of the
10984s	east spark taking it in round three but
10987s	it's been the m three versus shy on the
10990s	ash sojourn and the zest versus alfie on
10993s	the tracer duel and the spat the stats
10996s	have been really interesting to look at
10997s	like that
10999s	yeah the stats for zest and alpha year
11000s	about as close as they could be they're
11003s	almost equal on final blows and deaths
11004s	and there's about 80 damage between them
11006s	which is uh i can not a huge golf
11010s	considering they got about 13 000 damage
11012s	each but the pulse bomb attach rate for
11015s	zest has been a touch better however as
11018s	you can see at the moment lemon we have
11019s	fury coming in for our next map and
11022s	fury's not had the greatest season so
11024s	far but i think where fury really has
11026s	his value is in his veteran's seat this
11029s	was our season one overwatch league
11031s	winner with the london spitfire
11033s	alongside goats like gesture and like
11035s	profit and for philadelphia fusion with
11038s	the exception of ingot this is a
11040s	ridiculously young team so many members
11042s	that were sort of in t1 daycare and
11044s	korean contenders for a while just sort
11046s	of like being sat on like a goose
11048s	waiting for the eggs to hatch like
11050s	they're gonna be 18 any day now right
11052s	tucker yes they finally became 18 but
11055s	now they're under the biggest pressure
11057s	but they have felt yet yes kickoff clash
11059s	it was a close one for philadelphia
11061s	fusion but pressure was mounting but
11063s	this is the big international event this
11065s	is mid-season madness and fury needs to
11068s	be the captain who steadies this ship
11070s	and bernard brings that same veterans
11072s	cities too i mean when i first started
11074s	casting bernard was in contenders and
11075s	was like the diva guy and now both these
11078s	off tanks have grown and to give a lot
11081s	of options to their teams fury
11083s	interestingly has brought out brought
11085s	out the doomfist especially against the
11087s	florida mayhem which i think is why
11090s	they've brought him in for this next map
11092s	the philadelphia fusion because they
11093s	lost oasis they get the advantage of
11095s	choosing our next map and they want to
11097s	go to king's row last time the fusion
11100s	went to king's row they full held the
11103s	florida mayhem which went the distance
11105s	at game five even but it was off the
11107s	back of fury's doomfist
11110s	uh and it looked pretty good
11112s	they're not the best known doomfist
11114s	player but evidently furious someone who
11116s	can pick up heroes very quickly in fact
11118s	even when sigma first came out i think
11120s	it was at the end of uh potentially
11122s	season two uh fury actually picked up
11125s	the eraser from gesture and allowed
11127s	gesture to play on the new sigma hero
11129s	and has an incredibly wide hero pool in
11131s	the uh in the pre-222 era as well we
11134s	even saw fury play a little bit of
11136s	pharah back in the day to play a third
11138s	dps of a london spitfire this guy has it
11141s	all even if diva was always his best
11143s	hero i trust him whatever fury picks to
11145s	be of at least a consistent grade of owl
11149s	ready tanking however as we've seen in
11152s	our previous rounds as well especially
11154s	in hawke vs fate in our previous matchup
11156s	the doomfist does a great job of
11158s	controlling those wrecking balls and it
11160s	might limit bernard's options if he
11161s	doesn't play the sigma
11163s	yeah the attacking uh doomfist can have
11166s	some trouble she's getting up to that
11167s	high ground i've seen a lot of success
11169s	of doomfist going through hotels
11171s	but we also have a lot of success just
11173s	looking at these dps kind of the
11175s	statistics that really stood out to me
11176s	from that last map was zest having a 50
11180s	i ended at we said 63 and then ended at
11182s	50 percent attach rate while alfie was
11184s	at 25 with same damage so it kind of
11187s	tells you zez can really get the first
11189s	blood for the fusion but even though
11191s	spark won the map it's about are you
11193s	following up with the kills that your
11195s	ham and really the rest of the team are
11196s	setting up for you well as it comes to
11198s	the battle between shai and mn3 i'm the
11201s	sojourn i felt like their ashes had very
11203s	similar damage deaths and all that so
11205s	they're very equal there but shy sojourn
11208s	really stood apart from mn3 almost
11210s	doubling the damage at 9.8 k versus 5.6
11213s	k
11214s	so shai had a better performance on that
11216s	front i think i remember it was gardens
11218s	so we'll see how that
11220s	goes we might see mn3 return to the
11222s	sojourn after that initial widow snipe
11224s	what i'm talking about but more fury
11226s	doomfist up to bat
11229s	a little bit more of the uh oh okay
11231s	there he goes over to the sigma one of
11233s	the things i really want to concentrate
11234s	on here is
11236s	the focus fire on fury to get him below
11238s	50 hp because remember
11240s	he has access to a focusing beam or
11242s	playing on the seco
11243s	and that's gonna be super important for
11244s	taking up uh fury because he's gonna use
11247s	his shield first and that's gonna get
11248s	broken quickly and the kinetic grasp is
11250s	his secondary defensive option which can
11252s	do nothing against the focusing beam of
11254s	alpha yi it's really interesting to see
11257s	actually on the ash and i guess that's
11259s	why you bring him in for that on the
11262s	high ground dominating the back line
11264s	goes back in the hotel for mini because
11266s	usually when they want that double
11267s	ranged hitscan they bring carpe into
11269s	that picture so uh we'll see how that
11272s	goes but for now even though the pigs
11275s	came out for the fusion first uh they're
11277s	all dead they do have respawn advantage
11279s	so the kills might matter slightly more
11281s	for fusion
11283s	a wicked exit from mn3 right there
11285s	sliding away getting the head shot alfie
11287s	has already moved over onto the tracer
11290s	and zest in tandem has mirrored over to
11292s	the genji instead we never just has a
11294s	fantastic engine part of his debut and
11296s	overwatch league was actually playing
11297s	some genji on king's row and it's going
11301s	to give a little bit more brawling power
11302s	where you can easily skirmish against
11304s	bernard and try and force out some early
11306s	cooldowns from him
11308s	says control of hotel
11310s	hong zhou need to go recontest but
11312s	they'll have to deal with the flag first
11314s	and shy didn't see it coming the
11316s	communication from alpha each it's not
11317s	there great immortality to save zest at
11320s	that moment
11321s	fixa had the right idea they also fusion
11324s	almost have a second tick spark hoping
11326s	to recontest that's the last second here
11330s	and it's gonna come from the high ground
11331s	bernard trying to leave that charge if
11333s	you should only have one person here
11335s	they're all trying to stop the doorway
11336s	it's only fury but he's full house is
11339s	anyone really going to touch it's alpha
11340s	yi that keeps trying to dual fury dips
11342s	dives and dodges but bernard is trying
11345s	to stop the back line almost finally he
11347s	goes after fury zest is going to get
11349s	involved but bernard is okay for now
11353s	the defense don't have much left they
11354s	have some members in hotel but it's
11357s	fusion at the closer respawns and
11358s	eventually the balances tilt the
11361s	fusion's way and they get the point in
11363s	the card unlocked
11364s	it's a long and attrition-based battle
11366s	but in the end especially fury who catch
11368s	out with a well-placed rock against
11369s	alpha yi predicting a blink and crushing
11372s	retracer up against the wall now
11374s	philadelphia fusion they're going to
11375s	have access to a blade but think about
11377s	the amount of countermeasures that hung
11379s	joe spark have against this all andros
11381s	buck needs to do is make sure they only
11383s	utilize one of their defensive measures
11385s	while killing zest because he's going to
11387s	be blading without a nano he's going to
11388s	be very vulnerable during that you can't
11390s	use both for trance and the immo though
11392s	that would be a tragedy
11395s	yeah now fusion have two on the cart
11397s	they have ant matrix too so as soon as
11399s	sparks show their face it could be just
11401s	the ant matrixes that can buy some space
11403s	you can force the other one to back away
11405s	somehow
11407s	the defense have already fragged them in
11408s	three
11409s	and that was come actually because mn3
11411s	was trying to jump up and flank on the
11413s	right side alleyway where you see kind
11415s	of shy jumping up at so
11417s	got to be careful and i like the marking
11419s	that the back line of the spark are
11421s	doing but we have a ton of volts all ten
11424s	of them online oh that stick with the
11426s	mortality from fixa he saved someone's
11429s	life again the second time this map
11432s	now the spark or just at a stalemate and
11435s	the fusion
11436s	are just waiting it's like both teams
11438s	are waiting for each other to play their
11440s	hands first
11441s	a little bit of fusion space as they
11443s	head around the corner
11445s	zest has the blade he has to dash out
11447s	though as a grab flux from nearly gets
11449s	cancelled and i think bernard didn't do
11451s	a whole lot either either way we're
11454s	still not at much cart push for the
11456s	fusion
11458s	bernard trying to hold this corner right
11459s	here and look at that fixes already had
11461s	to expend the immortality field now
11463s	double damage through the ant matrix
11466s	oh number three has to head out of there
11468s	but aim god says i got you buddy the
11470s	transcendence around the corner to
11471s	reestablish the fusion on the ant matrix
11474s	and spark head all the way at the back
11476s	of their alleyway to create some
11479s	distance
11480s	fix has been picked just these random
11482s	defensive picks from either shire irony
11485s	are just really ruining the fusion's
11487s	momentum i think that's why they're
11488s	playing so slow they're just so cautious
11491s	now shy's on the flank and he's going to
11493s	look for any picks while the fusion are
11495s	waiting destructor shot out
11497s	fury's gonna at least push shy out of
11499s	alleyway
11500s	now fusion only have the blade to depend
11502s	on for point b
11504s	yeah fusion they didn't get to force out
11506s	irony's transcendence which is a massive
11508s	pain for zest to try and deal with that
11510s	discord already applied to him does not
11512s	want to try and run in here oh my
11514s	goodness fully charged rail is going to
11515s	try and be punished right kill shy
11518s	oh good deflect
11520s	but he's just hesitating on wanting to
11522s	get the dash through and just the one
11523s	and done as long as you live
11525s	but super rich is dead says slice
11528s	through or got the deflector or
11529s	something i have no idea what the fusion
11531s	are ahead they force the transcendence
11533s	out the spark want to stabilize as much
11534s	as they can but they're down too and it
11537s	just keeps getting worse and worse
11539s	but at least spark did a good job of
11541s	draining a lot of this time bank from
11543s	the fusion but it will still be a point
11545s	b cap
11547s	oh irony there holding transcendence for
11549s	overwatch three not ideal at already let
11551s	super rich die admittedly irony could
11553s	not save shy in any case with that
11555s	transcendence there were simply too many
11557s	walls between them and the travel
11558s	distance would have been too long anyway
11560s	mn3 fails to get up to high ground so
11562s	this is a little bit of an opening for
11563s	hangzhou spark and zest has to address
11565s	that while mn3 gets stuck
11568s	that's good you deny mn3 any chance to
11570s	get some kind of flanker opening angle
11572s	on the mega pack side and zest uh
11575s	couldn't disengage in time for the hung
11577s	show spark took that area back over
11580s	and without any dps the fusion do not
11582s	want to get staggered anymore but spark
11584s	don't want to overextend and make a
11586s	mistake either
11588s	bernard getting closer to the gravity
11589s	flux is going to be an issue for
11592s	philadelphia fusion they don't have the
11594s	immortality field best case only one
11596s	person gets caught and they get nano to
11598s	try and survive it zest just gonna
11600s	continue keeping people off the high
11602s	ground for the moment and building up
11604s	towards that nano blade potentially
11606s	considering the iron is out of sync yeah
11608s	irony use transcendence at the end of
11610s	point b but you're going to start with
11611s	the grav flux and mn3 has already killed
11614s	one so maybe you can serve the nano
11615s	blade for the end of point b but it's an
11618s	matrix in the face of fury he uses the
11619s	matrix and he does get out for free the
11622s	nanos give it to zest
11624s	but he doesn't want to use the blade he
11627s	got a little too overconfident i guess
11629s	not sure if he thought the transcendence
11630s	was still up now the fusion hesitated
11633s	are missing some members on this final
11635s	push you see fixes far forward the
11638s	transcendence now from ape god
11641s	i don't even think fury's in this
11642s	picture at all i'm not sure but the
11644s	hangzhou spark aren't too healthy and
11646s	the fusion are gonna be relentless on
11649s	this push now the blade going after
11651s	bernard but the accretion and the
11653s	follow-up is so good you shut down the
11655s	blade it's up to the overclock of mn3 to
11658s	help the fusion get the last two meters
11661s	someone has to touch an irony can't get
11663s	there in time
11664s	so somehow the fusion cap with 53
11667s	seconds
11669s	speed power and ferocity lemon never
11673s	give up an inch never give up a fight
11675s	it's always hashtag winnable
11679s	oh my goodness philadelphia fusion there
11682s	they just decided to take the momentum
11683s	they saw and roll with it even if it was
11685s	a little bit of a kerfuffle going on in
11687s	the back when no one wanted to kill the
11689s	immortality field it was like oh fury
11691s	will kill it ah zest will kill it mn3
11694s	will probably kill it no one did in the
11695s	end and i think that may have given a
11697s	little bit of additional time for super
11699s	rich and bernard in particular to stay
11701s	alive and that meant bernard actually
11702s	slammed fury down with that gravity flux
11705s	even though he was in a very vulnerable
11707s	area still hangzhou spark they may not
11711s	have given as much respect to the
11712s	philadelphia fusion as was needed when
11714s	philadelphia fusion just started
11716s	investing so heavily in trying to
11718s	reclaim that space because hungzhou
11720s	spark they thought
11722s	no team would be silly enough to do this
11724s	right guys no one would do that
11726s	alas philadelphia fusion did that and
11728s	hongzhou spark they this is a very
11730s	similar situation to what we saw
11732s	yesterday when shanghai dragons uh got
11735s	beaten down on i convolved by the san
11738s	francisco shock they just kept going
11739s	into these positions they assumed would
11741s	be safe because
11742s	most teams would not peak this alas
11745s	philadelphia fusion they do
11748s	yeah the fusion they just know
11751s	even though they they lose a member or
11753s	two they just know where their
11754s	advantages are and they know when to
11756s	push and spark has just no space at the
11759s	end to work with
11760s	and the irony transcendence at point b i
11763s	think was
11764s	such an error because
11766s	fusion had a free blade out of it now
11767s	bernard has been keeping zest in check
11769s	when he was on the genji but now it's
11770s	the hanzo so important information from
11773s	the sonic arrow especially just knowing
11775s	he actually places it on the statue and
11777s	not hotel just to see especially where
11779s	alpha he is rotating to
11782s	now for now the
11784s	fusion defense on the high ground and
11786s	somehow alpha he hits the headshot
11788s	that'll open things up for the spark
11790s	bernardo protects him well but now
11792s	starts to anchor the objective as the
11794s	fusion has to figure out how many ticks
11795s	they want to give up or do they want to
11797s	contest the first one because fury's
11799s	around the corner but he wants to make
11800s	sure alpha yi doesn't get three shots
11802s	into the back line if if fury just drops
11805s	a contest point so fusion are giving up
11807s	the first take
11808s	are they gonna give up the second
11810s	they're just so tunneled on alfie on
11812s	this right side they don't want him to
11815s	have access to aim god and mn3 in the
11818s	window
11818s	now almost the third take goes through
11820s	but fusion finally dropped
11823s	this for weakness of a composition level
11824s	when you're playing this double sniper
11826s	kind of approach no one's able to go
11828s	down and really brawl on the point
11830s	except for the sigma and if the sigma
11831s	gives up the high ground he's going to
11832s	take hours to get back up there next
11835s	time hanzo spark attack fury's going to
11837s	have to move faster otherwise he's going
11839s	to get exploited
11841s	just healing bernard to full so he can
11843s	just
11844s	be the person who caps the point
11847s	and then draw the attention and draw
11849s	these vulnerable members of the fusion
11850s	out so spark can get the pigs but it's
11852s	really zest on the high ground that has
11854s	angles above the shields of bernard has
11857s	taken care of alpha yi bernard takes a
11859s	ton of head shots almost gets killed if
11861s	it wasn't for the immortality of super
11862s	rich and just spark it so close to
11865s	capping it was ten percent away now they
11867s	have the air matrix from super rich and
11869s	it's from the hotel and zed gets a 3k
11872s	off the dragon strike to flush them all
11874s	out i just can't believe this fusion
11876s	have ordered away a massive storm
11880s	so this has finally started to work
11881s	because zest is actually hitting his
11882s	shots now he's getting the headshots
11884s	that he needs lemon and before
11885s	philadelphia fusion simply were not
11887s	removing any members of hangzhou spark
11889s	so fury didn't feel safe enough to go
11891s	down to the low ground because he would
11892s	have been surrounded and torn apart hung
11895s	just sparked now though they have so
11897s	many ultimates to work with fury's gonna
11899s	have to play this flux
11901s	perfectly fusion are playing so passive
11903s	you just can't seem to find them you
11906s	can't get a shot onto them until they
11908s	find you first dragon strike gets fury
11910s	goes to drop down the immortality's
11912s	already dealt with fury's in a lot of
11914s	trouble and oh my god spark i mean three
11916s	percent away finally the fusion
11918s	straggled their way backed into the
11920s	objective and then spark can finally win
11923s	a fight it took so much time though
11926s	definitely significantly slower than
11928s	fusion's attack
11929s	yeah unfortunately for philadelphia
11931s	fusion the second but they gave up two
11933s	ticks in that initial fight without
11934s	being able to find any picks from
11936s	the bastion
11938s	what no never mind oh no beep boop today
11941s	okay fine i will settle for the echo
11945s	alpha yi also swaps over to a genji here
11947s	which has an okay match up and then back
11949s	to the hanzo once more both of these
11951s	teams trying to outplay each other when
11953s	it comes to these counter picks and now
11955s	zest once again is going to feel pretty
11957s	vulnerable up in the air
11959s	after you'll be able to do a significant
11960s	amount of damage but wing hitbox of
11962s	vienko is really good for the hanzo
11964s	i think the hanzo is great for just
11965s	these narrow streets but the the echo
11968s	might be better for the more open area
11969s	of the map at the end of point b and
11972s	depending on who you copy you can just
11974s	add the extra resource the extra damage
11976s	extra front line whatever zest thinks
11978s	the team needs
11980s	shy goes for a flank over on ali's side
11982s	mm3 keeps them in check with the
11984s	disrupter shot zest has already
11986s	assassinated alpha yi so may 113 is
11988s	gonna get a bit more eager has drawn out
11991s	the immortality from super rich
11993s	now fusion can definitely play more
11995s	aggressive if they want they have the
11996s	transcendence if things don't go their
11998s	way
11999s	they also don't want to walk in the line
12001s	of fire of shy you can easily trade
12002s	things out
12004s	check out how mn three and fury actually
12006s	play kind of like as a foe tank
12007s	sometimes that meant three would just
12008s	call for a pocket and then push on the
12010s	opposite side to give fury for room to
12012s	move up and try and crunch in onto a
12014s	tightly packed tongzhou spark zest no
12016s	stick is right there he's going to move
12018s	it onto our feet was that an accretion
12020s	in midair bloody hell
12022s	the fly has been swatted and alpha he
12025s	claims too so
12026s	the spark head towards point b they
12029s	might have lost out for you but they
12030s	haven't lost hope and fury speaking of
12032s	which last hope for fusion with the grab
12035s	flux and you have two support alts
12038s	see a fusion i'm gonna keep the contest
12040s	going shai is above and he has 100
12042s	charge
12043s	and zest is in his sight but he's so
12046s	focused on dislodging fury he is the
12048s	anchor and he wants to kill him before
12049s	the ground floods that's too loud too
12050s	late the nano has to be placed on the
12052s	fury to save him and to keep the floods
12054s	going on from the fusion including the
12057s	transcendence to revitalize the defense
12060s	to stop the spark from capping
12063s	now we're left with really very little
12064s	ultimates as blow after blow has been
12067s	exchanged and it's only alpha you with
12068s	the dragon strike goes up to the left
12071s	side
12072s	and he's matching two dps and no one
12075s	touches from the fusion they were
12076s	running from the dragon strike from
12078s	alfie that was right on the card and
12080s	fusion's dps were flanking left side
12082s	now two and a half minutes first c i
12084s	guess for spark
12086s	alfie did a really good job of playing
12088s	the off angle there and getting a clean
12089s	line of sight onto the supports of aim
12091s	god and fixer that meant that fury had
12093s	to adjust and then was once again forced
12095s	to move by the dragon strike admittedly
12098s	alpha yi an early casualty here to zest
12100s	just popping in through the window and
12101s	hitting the stickies the hunger spark
12103s	have already got themselves some
12104s	significant distance on this cart from
12106s	philadelphia fusion's late deaths
12108s	oh no you ran
12111s	it's out of gas
12112s	so fusion
12115s	it's expensive these days lemon yeah
12118s	well zest will be back with dupe
12120s	someone's getting beat in this doorway
12122s	it's actually fury just hold things down
12125s	and fix it auntie shy to stop it he was
12128s	just getting so aggressive on fury
12130s	because zest was still coming back but
12132s	guess who's back respawns are pretty
12134s	close for the fusion spark only have a
12136s	minute and a half
12138s	just around the corner with only a grab
12140s	flux to depend on but it's fusion that
12141s	can pull the trigger first and nano's
12143s	given to mn3 seth copies the hanzo it's
12146s	an all-out assault from the defense as
12148s	they tank take flanks around the
12150s	doorways and threw the mega side they
12153s	deal with immortality from spark but
12155s	spark really haven't lost much they have
12157s	all five members i think still alive so
12160s	what grab flux is thrown from bernard
12162s	and from fury as irony uses the
12165s	transcendence to keep his front line up
12167s	and now surely we're at our ultimate
12169s	soon and you're definitely without shy
12170s	now
12171s	now
12172s	all right coming around the back shy is
12174s	dead mn3 plenty of charge in the
12176s	overclock it seems like yep super rich
12178s	has been identified taken out and the
12180s	rest of hangzhou spark they're in pretty
12182s	poor positions here and essentially
12183s	hostages goodbye
12187s	oh bernard
12188s	he's dead
12190s	the spark could be dead too in the next
12192s	40 seconds if they don't get something
12193s	done
12195s	yeah we could go one to one tie up our
12197s	game and that's exactly what we want
12198s	here in mid-season man the slower
12200s	bracket no three overwatch please let's
12203s	keep them being bangers philadelphia
12206s	fusion
12206s	in the back pocket a transcendence here
12208s	but what is going to be the trigger for
12210s	it ideally you need to keep your team
12212s	safe when they're forced into a bad
12214s	position by the dragon strike and you
12215s	don't really have a speed to avoid it if
12217s	it's used close enough and in the midst
12219s	of a battle by alpha yi so ngo needs to
12220s	hold off on this as much as possible
12222s	spark up the dps ultimates it's a dragon
12224s	strike right behind the fusion but a
12226s	little too far back fusion are still
12228s	comfortable with the space that they
12229s	have now shy may be trying to battle the
12232s	high ground against zest but the genji
12233s	is so great at getting back into the
12235s	high ground and climbing back up but
12237s	shaw just dominates the low ground has
12238s	already killed two with the overclock
12240s	including fixer and ankle has already
12242s	used transcendence he can't keep this
12244s	team up all by himself but the fusion
12246s	could still frag at a distance they get
12249s	further further away towards the
12250s	response they don't want to get
12251s	staggered and zest is killed two even
12253s	through the immortality and spark are
12256s	down three they can't keep it going it
12259s	looks so good but the philadelphia
12261s	fusion will tie it on king's row
12265s	philadelphia fusion surviving through
12267s	the amplification matrix using that
12269s	transcendence meant that they could
12270s	catch shine a position where he was not
12272s	hitting the head shot and couldn't kill
12274s	anyone he slid a touch too far and
12276s	fusion were quick to answer and to
12279s	punish it and after that well what more
12281s	can i say than it was zest in time baby
12284s	on the genji kill after kill the high
12286s	ground was challenged and the high
12288s	ground was claimed lemon this is gonna
12291s	go the distance we are one to one
12295s	they might say that the west is best but
12297s	in the east it's zest that's best
12299s	there's some fabulous dragon strikes and
12301s	plays and more the fusion fought so hard
12304s	for that we have a tie series so we're
12306s	gonna throw into a break we're gonna
12308s	hear from the spark on what map is next

12491s	[Music]
12505s	do
12512s	[Music]
12526s	[Music]
12529s	they were waiting for zest to rejoin the
12530s	fight and what he does oh boy is it
12532s	worth the wait
12533s	[Music]
12538s	appears he fishes for a little bit of
12539s	extra primal charge man zest went off on
12542s	this attack he showed that he has a fire
12545s	and appear in his belly
12547s	spells friend tries to get that kill
12548s	can't make it happen blade's gonna be
12549s	pulled first and foremost here by zest
12551s	dashing it gets both of the supports
12552s	duffels down for another one there zest
12555s	is there for the ally comes through to
12556s	help finish off the supports want to get
12558s	that combo on the light beautiful
12568s	gives them the opportunity to save the
12569s	fight when it was looking so dire talk
12572s	about profit clutching that was a zest
12573s	punch
12575s	[Music]
12582s	[Music]
12589s	zest has definitely been a treat to
12592s	watch a huge playmaker from the dragon
12594s	strike to really open things up on the
12597s	point of kings road to his genji multi
12599s	kills he really can do it all
12603s	yeah lemon it's hot zest summer that
12605s	much is for sure these are the stats
12606s	from a genji but of course played a
12608s	multitude of heroes over on king's row
12611s	in fact 20 final blows all in all for
12614s	zest and that was a large amount when it
12618s	came it was almost a deadlift for
12619s	philadelphia fusion who admittedly all
12621s	showed up in that arena speaking of
12623s	someone who's showing up below surya has
12625s	returned to a freight alongside goose
12627s	way and you know what that means once
12629s	again the thousand folded gorilla steel
12631s	shall be drawn from its sheath as the
12634s	primal blade has arrived on the scene
12636s	and you know exactly where spark want to
12638s	go for escort every time they get to
12640s	choose they decide you know what i think
12642s	it's dorado time so that gushway can
12644s	come from his kung fu panda thailand
12646s	prison and dominate
12649s	yep gushway really known for his winston
12651s	and really there's just not many other
12654s	wins that players in left in the
12656s	tournament that can i can touch gooshway
12658s	and then bernard can just focus on
12660s	hammond and the sigma so
12662s	you know why you bring gooshway in
12665s	and well we also know what map we're
12667s	going to next and it's the sparks choice
12669s	then they've cooked up a good one we'll
12672s	be going to dorado and i think that's
12675s	exactly why the fusion have brought back
12677s	bello sria no carpe today at least not
12680s	yet
12682s	yeah carpe uh not playing as much in
12684s	this tournament mn3 and zest being
12686s	committed to us for philadelphia fusion
12688s	they're two rookies they have seen the
12690s	light and they have brought them to the
12692s	forefront and
12694s	spark we've got to say that shine alpha
12697s	yi probably one of the most consistent
12698s	dps duos in the league in terms of just
12700s	the overall play time that they get
12702s	together we've only seen a couple of
12704s	substitutions when architects come in i
12705s	think it's been to play anna and i think
12707s	pineapple has played one map a circuit
12709s	royale alongside league and i think that
12711s	was when spark had already qualified for
12713s	mid-season madness but as we head into
12715s	dorado lemon i wonder if bello sara is
12717s	going to return to his main tank roots
12719s	of winston or continue playing the
12720s	wrecking ball because the wrecking ball
12722s	definitely has its place at the moment
12724s	and it's very good for setting up
12725s	engages for both your sojourn if she's
12727s	got a charged up rail shot to follow up
12729s	with your pile driver or your tracer but
12732s	where the wrecking ball lacks is in its
12735s	ability to hold space effectively that's
12738s	where winston excels he can be a long
12740s	time duelist he can continue to play
12741s	around carts for a long time with his
12743s	shield and of course usually with an
12745s	anna at his back and holding space is
12747s	super important when you're more reliant
12749s	on your players like shai to have the
12751s	space to operate
12753s	well i think hangzhou spark know a thing
12755s	or two about space uh especially if you
12758s	guys
12759s	did you guys catch the hong kong spark
12760s	gladiators match yesterday because that
12762s	was some of the best overwatch we've
12764s	seen it went all the way to game five
12765s	but they also went to dorado
12768s	where uh hangzhou spark well they want
12771s	that map and even had a minute 23 to
12774s	spare to win the map it was behind a
12776s	gushway winston alphagi tracer shy
12779s	sojourn and then some brig anna
12782s	so clearly playing to their strengths
12783s	and if you're able to be the gladiators
12785s	on this map i got some hobium
12789s	admittedly i'm yet to see super rich
12792s	sipping the uh super rich tea thus far
12794s	today with his excellent tiny little cup
12798s	that's a man who understands portion
12799s	control lemon we're going to be heading
12801s	into the map real soon i wonder what
12803s	shai's got hung over the back of his
12805s	chair there seems to be some kind of
12806s	t-shirt but i can't quite make out the
12808s	message
12809s	yeah someone let us know what that is
12811s	i'm sure it's like well it could be also
12813s	a sweat towel but maybe it's something
12814s	like true memorable
12818s	is this part of a shy lore are we gonna
12820s	have a shy lore drop i'm sure someone
12822s	will uh let us know what it's all about
12824s	i love the hunger sparks custom chairs
12826s	as well
12827s	and
12828s	just to say quickly about you know we
12830s	think super rich is like this calm guy
12832s	he meditates or at least he jokingly
12835s	meditated before one of his match he's
12836s	got a little teacup and we we did
12838s	confirm it as t shout out to twitter for
12840s	that uh but also this guy talks smack
12843s	like you know the hog show sparking
12845s	gladiators yesterday was obviously
12847s	entertaining because of the level of
12848s	skill but also the amount of trash talk
12850s	that happened which is from super ridge
12853s	you know writing easy and whatever stuff
12855s	like that so that was hilarious
12858s	admittedly super rich never throws the
12859s	first punch uh he was up against reiner
12862s	and ryan is a known motor mouth his is
12865s	like the uh he's the player equivalent
12868s	of mitchuba leslie lot likes that likes
12870s	to pop off sometimes
12872s	shout some things do some all caps
12874s	messaging
12875s	as we head in to dorado with his brand
12878s	new funky soundtrack hung joe spark
12881s	gonna be starting off on the attack here
12884s	i believe and philadelphia fusion i want
12886s	to see if bellows rear is going for the
12887s	ball
12888s	or for the winston which is going to be
12891s	important in determining how they're oh
12893s	the m3 ash as well i quite like this in
12895s	particular for dorado because on the
12897s	high grounds it means you can peek out
12899s	and deliver instant damage without
12900s	having to worry about over peeking to
12902s	try and build up the railgun using the
12905s	primary fire of sojourn and that could
12907s	be dangerous when you're going up
12908s	against potentially widowmakers
12910s	i just think mn3
12912s	especially on the ash is just so so
12914s	impressive but even through on map map
12917s	one oasis shai's sojourn did diff mn3 in
12920s	terms of damage by about four or five k
12923s	it's already had a good performance
12924s	there i would say mn3 looks like the
12926s	stronger ash shy looks like the
12927s	strongest sojourn maybe you guys want to
12929s	argue with me i'll tussle and hustle
12930s	about that but
12932s	hangzhou spark will be out the gates
12934s	with a widow to get some initial snipes
12936s	in
12937s	and gushway will have to see what space
12939s	he could make on the winston
12941s	all right plenty of targets arrayed
12943s	there but none which are easily slain
12945s	and so out for ye tracer or genji tracer
12948s	it is lack of verticality here but it
12950s	does mean that you'll be able to brawl
12951s	out a little bit better against bella
12952s	tree and chase him down when he tries to
12954s	make these escapes
12957s	so the spark just have some push going
12960s	for now on the fusion it's all about
12962s	those pigs you'll have the better
12964s	dynamite angle for mn3 if you can build
12966s	up towards the bar that's also nice but
12969s	shy can easily slip and slide up into
12971s	the top right you just maybe want some
12973s	help with that but how could she
12975s	possibly feel comfortable doing anything
12976s	if you're the spark when you got bella's
12978s	ria just pounding her back light and
12979s	just stops irony like a bug
12984s	bernin's death bad way to go lemon but
12986s	uh for philadelphia fusion this defense
12988s	is going rather well and then three was
12989s	actually isolated
12991s	and that means that gooseberry can pick
12993s	up the kill but unfortunately goose was
12994s	a little bit too far in an irony there
12996s	actually had his sleep baited out by
12997s	bellows rear who kind of faked going for
13000s	a uh a pile driver when he was actually
13002s	just sailing over the top and after
13004s	irony expended that sleep dart that's
13007s	when zest and bellatria actually
13009s	committed to the dive
13011s	might need the spark to uh
13013s	react to belisaria hit the sleep
13016s	but then not having the zen to just
13019s	discord or bella syria might mean they
13021s	might lack in damage to really take them
13023s	down but let's see how that goes shy at
13025s	least can snipe mn3 at range is that a
13028s	sleep on the zest kind of nasty so spark
13031s	are up by two and they'll get to go
13032s	towards market
13034s	couldn't hit the wrecking ball but a
13035s	tracer apparently fire any just slightly
13038s	easier charging up towards the next
13040s	railgun you know every time shy has that
13042s	up everyone on philadelphia fusion has
13043s	to cower there's plenty of space alas
13046s	for philadelphia fusion to get
13047s	themselves a second contest here are no
13048s	major ultimates to stop them over the
13050s	course of this next fight irony should
13052s	be able to build vanello and that's
13053s	likely to go on to gushway to force a
13055s	fight on the objective oh does he get
13058s	out he does irony's having a pretty nice
13060s	performance on the honest so far just
13062s	sleeping zest below three a little bit
13064s	more now the nano though to gush way he
13067s	tries to clear that left side pressuring
13068s	it out on the right though is mn three
13070s	and you can't forget about him zest also
13072s	wants to flank from that side and kuchwa
13075s	just took too much pressure not able to
13076s	use the primal in time in a 36 lap the
13080s	spark they either need to give up now or
13081s	start heading away at least they draw
13083s	out the transcendence from aim gone but
13086s	it's matched by the rally and they
13088s	overclock by shy
13090s	so spark think this is winnable and it's
13092s	really three members of the fusion
13094s	preventing this from getting capped they
13096s	could trade this out between belizaria
13098s	and zest to keep it contested forever
13101s	and if things get real hairy they could
13102s	always depend on mn3 bob but you can
13105s	invest less it's always nice and spark
13108s	just ran out of wind in their sails to
13110s	keep the momentum going so they'll have
13112s	to head back
13113s	as you get as good as he's been on the
13115s	winston recently i think gushwa actually
13116s	jumped the gun a little bit there with
13118s	her first engagement irony gave goose
13120s	way of nano and philadelphia fusion they
13121s	weren't even really committed to the
13123s	fight yet so the disengage was super
13125s	easy to handle and goose way over chase
13127s	looking to try and extract value from
13129s	the ultimate where
13130s	admittedly maybe just giving up and
13132s	going back to mccart would have been the
13133s	better idea zest forces out an early
13135s	recall from alfa east and now he's going
13137s	to be out of the fight for a little
13138s	while longer oh that's a zesty one
13140s	doesn't hit though
13142s	so fusion chill
13143s	they'll have a bob left over
13146s	and the spark maybe you want to just try
13148s	and punish bella soria he's not too
13150s	worried though he escapes into the
13152s	shadows on the right sparkler on the
13153s	chase and you have bob just thrown in
13155s	the middle of the map so it forces spark
13157s	to be trapped on the right side
13159s	i'm a little bit split from each other
13160s	and i don't see fusion wanting to punish
13162s	sparks presence in the mini pack room so
13165s	at least the bob from mm3 did buy time
13167s	but mm3 will have to buy a new life he's
13169s	gone for now fellas three is too low
13171s	alpha he has the hunt and the chase down
13174s	so the spark just have to keep pushing
13176s	the cart but it's over time it's last
13178s	chance and irony is dead before you
13180s	could deliver the nano
13182s	but the kills still come through on the
13184s	front line you still have four members
13185s	of the sparks so they cap so i might
13188s	have freaked out too soon there i need
13190s	to ask my boy he gotta live
13193s	once again it's shy who opens everything
13196s	up he is the omni tool of the hangzhou
13199s	spark getting that headshot onto mn3 was
13202s	so important and now mn3 goes back over
13205s	to the ash once more having swapped over
13207s	i believe so for sojourn to try and
13208s	slide back and return faster gushway is
13211s	doing a little bit of poke to try and
13212s	control the high ground you can see the
13213s	alpha is on the other side this is
13215s	simply to make sure that philadelphia
13217s	fusion can't freely poke down on the
13219s	less vertically inclined members of the
13221s	hunger spark as they bring this car into
13223s	a more fightable position
13226s	alpha yi is trying to sneak by but aim
13228s	god is doing a good job of marking him
13230s	the double blink took too much damage
13233s	and i met three coach goods back
13234s	headshots alfie
13236s	and spark lose their chance to get an
13238s	opening kill on the high ground usually
13240s	jumps back up though you have the nano
13241s	advantage
13242s	but he already gets flailed back down
13244s	thanks to fixer so spark their next win
13247s	con will be around the nano or maybe
13249s	they even want to save it for the primal
13251s	rage
13253s	overclock in the hands of shai give him
13255s	a discord you can see that he is a
13256s	primary target and removing shy from the
13258s	battle as quickly as possible always in
13260s	the interest of a philadelphia fusion
13262s	the super rich pops the rally
13264s	cessna hit on the pulse rally starts
13266s	gush way primal two irony waits for the
13269s	moment to hit the nano it gives it the
13271s	shy who jumps around the corner with
13273s	overclock it hits two
13275s	that snipes on this man that was the 80
13278s	rail accuracy we saw from yesterday and
13281s	he's certainly newbie hits different shy
13284s	is a one-man army and the spark head for
13288s	point b
13289s	he is simply the rail gun of damocles
13292s	yes there's going to be a zest contest
13294s	but how long can he last for the recall
13296s	used gush ways in the way and hangzhou
13299s	spark they make up for lost time on
13301s	point b with shy continuing to dominate
13304s	mn3 here is on the ash to try and deny
13307s	space from goose where he could be
13308s	knocked back twice once by the whip shot
13310s	and once by the coach gun but that's
13312s	simply goose way forcing out resources
13314s	it's all about making space for shai to
13317s	do this magic that we know he is capable
13320s	of
13322s	in the spark chill for now
13325s	thinking about
13326s	where mm3's positioning going to be
13328s	which is currently not on the high
13329s	ground alfie does some initial scouting
13331s	just to see where fusion are coming out
13333s	of
13334s	right now to some free cart push pile
13336s	drive from fellow surya or is that the
13338s	bubble from gushway discord or bond
13340s	super rich
13342s	fusion
13343s	send them and three towards the mini
13345s	pack hallway on the left side who's
13347s	close to bob and that can be a good push
13350s	if he can get the ball behind the spark
13352s	while they're disengaging but i guess
13354s	you don't even need the bob if mf3 is on
13356s	that power position high ground and hits
13358s	head shots so spark are going to take a
13360s	second to recuperate
13362s	and then then three if fixer plays with
13364s	him he should be undiveable for gushway
13367s	alpha you might be able to get a touch
13368s	more purchase after those cooldowns have
13371s	been expended and that will give good
13373s	pathing to try and get a pulse bomb
13375s	stick you can see what bellatrix that's
13376s	using the 3d peak at the moment
13377s	beautiful stick irony no nano today
13379s	maybe the pulse and then the bob on top
13382s	the sparkles are getting pushed from the
13384s	front by bella fria
13386s	but fusion don't want to invest any more
13387s	ultimates there so the spark had to just
13390s	deal with the bob but without alpha yi
13392s	this is not a good fight with shai
13394s	getting headshot by m3 i'm still not
13396s	feeling good
13397s	so uh yeah spark are getting kind of
13400s	thanos snapped in these fights and we
13402s	got 22 seconds left to see if they can
13403s	complete
13405s	not quite high noon but rifles at dawn
13407s	goes the way of mn3 philadelphia fusion
13410s	now if you want to come on to this car
13412s	you're gonna have the brave farmer
13414s	bellows freya's field of minds and man
13417s	he's been growing then with a green
13419s	thumb and a tender love and care alfie
13421s	is gonna have to be the one to contest
13422s	the car but guess who's waiting mr zest
13426s	almost five volts from the spark but two
13428s	support ultimates from the fusion they
13429s	got to layer these properly to survive
13432s	the assault from the spark the nano to
13434s	gush way he's in the back he has primal
13437s	you don't have to worry about that main
13438s	tank but you got to worry about alpha yi
13440s	vs zest zest heads back to get some
13442s	rally over health from fixa bello ceria
13445s	chases around someone on that high
13447s	ground just to buy some space but he
13449s	gets anted and bello syria just got too
13451s	eager and overstayed is welcome
13454s	spark have the overclock shy forcing mn3
13457s	to drop down fixa has to go with him and
13460s	spark have now trapped the fusion carry
13463s	and have battered him against the wall
13465s	but zest will claim one two ironies out
13467s	of the picture super rich has forced his
13469s	rally to make up for those resources but
13471s	it's matched by the transcendence of
13472s	main god bella soria buys time the
13474s	respawn advantage is for the fusion mm3
13478s	has the last hope with the ball but shy
13480s	has the shot the recall sets don't want
13482s	that smoke but then bellatria goes
13484s	behind and shut and shy and friends of
13486s	spark aren't worried they want to stop
13488s	the reinforcements they want the camp in
13490s	overtime it's do or die from the spark
13494s	and even three dies with bob
13496s	oh my god alpha ye makes it happen they
13499s	just have to kill bella syria and stop
13501s	the supports of the fusion from touching
13502s	and they can't the spark will complete
13506s	a biblical brotherhood of dps demons shy
13510s	and alpha yi continue to say we refuse
13514s	to die the lower bracket means nothing
13516s	we will slay our own aipac brothers if
13520s	we have to to get back and get our
13522s	revenge on those who disrespected us
13527s	alpha yi unbelievable timing making sure
13530s	that bob couldn't appear was absolutely
13532s	critical but when it comes to my opinion
13535s	lemon bellows ria there was the real
13537s	criminal misusing his minefield he could
13539s	have negotiated a two versus one against
13542s	alpha yi on that car using the minefield
13545s	with zest and made sure that hunger
13547s	spark had to fight in overtime in the
13549s	minefield but instead when elsewhere i
13553s	think he tried to assassinate irony
13554s	instead i didn't see where the minefield
13556s	went but it certainly wasn't in the
13557s	location that we wanted and because
13560s	alfie was able to survive that 1v1 he
13562s	was able to do this
13565s	watch this
13566s	kill zest from the sky
13568s	it's that eagle it's a plane oh it's the
13570s	angel delivering the win and stopping
13574s	mn3 he actually had bomb and could have
13576s	thrown it but was just
13577s	just trying to do it the old-fashioned
13579s	way i guess but
13580s	spark still complete
13583s	and this is for the series lead series
13585s	point to remain
13587s	in the lower bracket
13590s	and we'll see what fusion have up their
13592s	sleeve starting not with a widow like
13595s	the spark did at the start but with a
13597s	sojourn tracer and instead of a hammond
13600s	dropping down on the defense it's
13601s	gushway on the winston
13604s	shy
13605s	currently on the deadlift 12 out of 18
13608s	final blows for hung joe's spark
13611s	i call this guy the best hit scan in the
13613s	world and right now the numbers are
13615s	backing me lemon philadelphia fusion
13617s	slowly creep this cart forward as goosh
13620s	way pokes from the top of and moves into
13622s	position but they stopped his
13624s	disengagement they actually caught goose
13625s	ways he jumped out using the pile driver
13627s	perfect timing from bellator
13629s	great punish on the defense so far so
13632s	the fusion get a free push and remember
13634s	sparks uh sparks defense back then took
13638s	a lot or a fusion's defense took a lot
13640s	of time at this particular point so
13642s	already a head start from the fusion
13645s	but this is the the toughest part of the
13647s	map to get through at least for point a
13649s	of course and then three almost
13650s	connecting all the alphae but it's body
13652s	shots shy on the card advances forward
13655s	the defense collapsing on the supports
13657s	but not yielding any result it's the dps
13661s	of the fusion that strike through many
13663s	members of the spark only leaving shy
13666s	and alfie to defend
13668s	mn3 has come alive and he's not making
13671s	this duel and gets shy and mn3 just that
13674s	easy
13675s	and that was a mechanical master class
13676s	as well from men3 and zest when it came
13678s	to the tempo hangzhou sparks should have
13680s	been winning that battle they forced
13682s	bellosphere out and then hunger spark
13684s	managed to move forward and look for
13686s	picks but zesting them in three they
13688s	negotiated their way into a back line
13690s	found the soft underbelly and put the
13692s	damage exactly where it needed to be yes
13694s	zest might get forced out here by alpha
13697s	yi but the thing is zest gets for
13699s	harmony all but range from the zenyatta
13701s	so can take this door for a lot longer
13702s	than alpha yi who has a much more rigid
13704s	sight line from his ana
13706s	good bella syria bowl around this is
13708s	already is either gonna force mobility
13710s	cooldowns like the jump from the winston
13712s	to just get back up
13714s	might even get an assassination because
13716s	there is no immortality
13719s	there is a sleep that fellow three has
13721s	to worry about it uh maybe he's not sort
13722s	of worried about that flail
13725s	so it's a 4v5
13727s	but you can see that spark have already
13729s	dropped down to stop some of the uh cart
13732s	push going so fusion are going to take a
13733s	second
13735s	great surveillance there from alpha yi
13737s	just crunched from three sides zest had
13738s	no time to react when all three members
13741s	just put some damage his way still the
13743s	car continues to move bellows had a
13745s	couple of suspects grapples at the
13747s	moment
13748s	and alpha yi caught on the recall mn3
13750s	was counting the seconds and counting
13752s	the pixels
13753s	yeah alpha has been holding this guard
13755s	inside and finally spark identified or
13757s	uh fusion identified that he got the
13759s	overclock from mn3 but shy is that owned
13762s	and he has overclocked two his energy is
13763s	over nine thousand he's already killed
13765s	two the immortality can't save you now
13768s	fusion and they are one and gooshway
13771s	wants to line things up for shy but
13773s	bellows free is just too quick with it
13776s	an excellent decision made there by
13777s	irony shy was in danger of getting no
13781s	value not only out of that overclock
13783s	that of this defensive fight if he had
13785s	caught another shot from mn3 before that
13787s	nano came down it was curtains for shy
13789s	curtains for the ultimate and maybe
13791s	curtains for defense as well but
13793s	hungzhou sparks stand fast behind their
13795s	avatar of war irony certainly knows
13798s	where his bread is butted and now bello
13800s	srila wants more to try and support a
13803s	high ground fight where zest is
13804s	currently alone but timing suspect
13806s	yeah zest and bella at least working
13808s	together to pressure spark on that high
13811s	ground forcing them down alfie trying to
13813s	mark zest the best he can
13815s	while not letting the car progress any
13816s	further fusion have a lot of time but
13818s	they can't waste it mn3 and the support
13821s	the fusion head for bank it's a nice
13822s	shelter from any high ground assault
13824s	that the spark may have cooked up as
13827s	bella syria lays the mines on the high
13829s	ground there and super rich runs into
13831s	one of them
13832s	kind of needed him for the rally also
13834s	irony is blending in with the plant and
13836s	i don't think belisarius saw him either
13838s	way his job was to go to the card
13840s	because fusion almost pushed it in front
13842s	of spark who have now lost two members
13845s	gushway is low he's got to score her
13846s	bottom and it was only alpha
13848s	just keeping the car contested so fusion
13851s	can't be
13853s	all right below being the pop-up pirate
13856s	right there that was a lovely minefield
13858s	and of course a piledriver finished it
13860s	as well super rich had no idea what hit
13862s	him from behind and getting rid of that
13863s	rally meant that philadelphia fusion
13865s	could fight on the cart so much harder
13867s	because irony was having to give away
13869s	his seals one by one and they had to
13871s	choose between gushway and alpha yi and
13873s	alpha yi was also trying to hide from
13876s	philadelphia fusion on the same angle
13877s	which meant irony was having trouble
13879s	getting that uh getting those hits in
13882s	zest is very stealthy here yet to be
13884s	noticed still no one knows
13886s	peekaboo
13888s	does it the pulse bomb already dead so
13891s	this is looking kind of sketch for the
13893s	spark but they're gonna make do with
13895s	what they have and what they have is a
13896s	rally a bit of over health just playing
13898s	super passive here shy is above on the
13900s	high ground two could get some peaks to
13902s	try and equalize things goose way is
13904s	going to help out he's got the primal
13906s	and he's going for the back line the
13908s	transcendence is activated he's
13910s	battering the supports against the wall
13912s	and they somehow live
13914s	transcendence did help a lot too but
13916s	goose ways back in this he's got the
13918s	nano shy will have to return soon he's
13921s	not in this fight yet what spark will
13923s	make do with the four that they have
13925s	three spawns are close too and fusion
13927s	have lost two
13929s	shy just does it again you can never be
13933s	safe when shy is on the field but fusion
13936s	they at least have time to spare
13939s	gushway's nano engage right there forces
13941s	out so much attention from the
13943s	philadelphia fusion but it allows
13945s	cheyenne alphae some space to negotiate
13947s	themselves the angles needed to find the
13950s	shots with the overclock and with the
13952s	pulse bomb as well
13954s	philadelphia fusion admittedly they
13956s	still have plenty of time two minutes
13958s	and the ultimates to try and make it
13959s	work except with an early pulse bomb
13960s	doesn't appear to connect onto anything
13962s	special must have been a whiff as
13964s	bellows
13965s	huge he shoves them all into the corner
13967s	and somehow no one dies or not even
13969s	super rich at this point and now with
13972s	the mines gone from bellatoria and the
13974s	postpartum from zest fusion don't have
13976s	any ultimates this could be just about
13978s	generating those punishing spark where
13980s	you can and shy advances forward with
13983s	gush way claims aim god while he was
13985s	hiding in staircase and jumps back to
13987s	safety the one kill is all the spark
13989s	need to water away fusion
13991s	ah philadelphia fusion their timings
13993s	just off lemon they're playing overwatch
13995s	like a mortgage they're doing their
13996s	diving installments first zest then
13998s	bellows rear then the rest of the fusion
13999s	come in afterwards they need to move as
14001s	one and yes philosopher and zesta
14003s	finally found that timing now but it's
14005s	too late they don't have the resources
14007s	to really force anyone out of these
14010s	positions
14011s	and
14014s	use the disrupter shot to stop any
14016s	pushes from stairs and uses the shot to
14018s	kill fn3 it's just as easy as that
14021s	mn3
14022s	just feeling the pain shy dominating the
14025s	lobby receiving the nano love and now
14027s	spark going for more pics where they can
14030s	but never overextending to a point where
14032s	they're getting picked and that's just
14034s	the intelligence that the spark have
14037s	and the thing is once bellows is forced
14039s	to disengage and look for health facts
14040s	that's when hangzhou spark get their
14042s	counter dive in and they can really
14043s	control the tempo of a fight using goose
14045s	way and alfie for now it's all about
14047s	defense making sure that fellow syria is
14049s	not going to be present in the majority
14051s	of the fight playing counter dive
14052s	instead
14054s	zest
14055s	needs to yield something with this pulse
14056s	bomb
14058s	at least getting close to killing alpha
14059s	yi here it's forced a couple blinks out
14061s	no recall though hunger spark
14063s	have two support ultimates the nano to
14066s	shy and he needs it he dropped out below
14068s	50 hp he's in the back line of the
14071s	attack and it's killed two
14073s	fusions just can't seem to start these
14076s	fights on the right foot
14078s	but they will be now spark will now lead
14081s	the series two to one the fusion unable
14085s	to go to the finish line
14088s	it's 3am here in the uk lemon and shai
14090s	is in your back line with a nano
14092s	overclock there's nothing to be done
14096s	hunger spark identified the weakness
14098s	once bellows 3 had to go and look for a
14100s	health pack
14101s	it was all about finding those
14103s	engagements and the thing is when
14105s	bellowsria leaves as the main tank that
14108s	means that shy can be a lot more
14109s	audacious for actually joining that dive
14111s	and making those flanks into the
14112s	backline alongside gushway and alpha yi
14115s	that's the weakness of the wrecking ball
14117s	when his downtime is exploited by
14119s	hangzhou spark using a high uptime main
14122s	tank like gooshway there are openings
14124s	that can really be exploited by players
14126s	like cheyenne alfaji that's why you
14128s	gotta invest in those shy stocks 21 out
14131s	of 32 final blows i believe i heard from
14133s	the stats team the spark go to series
14136s	point behind some fabulous sojourn play
14139s	but we go to push next and we'll see
14142s	what's left of the fusion

14398s	gamers of the court
14399s	benvene and off the cap there is royalty
14403s	in our midst that's right mid-season
14405s	madness legendary skin royal night mercy
14408s	is on sale now through august 19th for
14410s	just 200 league tokens so make sure you
14413s	get yours today and play with a royal
14415s	flush
14416s	yeah i'm on my hands and knees for the
14419s	new season
14420s	but uh not as down bad as fusion right
14423s	now who uh run match point against the
14426s	hangzhou spark who just took dorado if
14429s	you are tuning in but at least the
14430s	fusion have one advantage they can work
14432s	with and it's their choice of push map
14434s	between coliseum and new queen street
14436s	and they're opting for new queen street
14438s	which makes a lot of sense they chose
14440s	this against the florida mayhem and the
14442s	losers round two in that long game five
14444s	series and they're very successful uh
14448s	fusion are very successful on new queen
14449s	street 111 meters to 75 a big win
14453s	against florida mayhem there they also
14455s	went on new queen street against the
14457s	dallas fuel another three-digit meter
14460s	122-42
14462s	and that's when they absolutely rolled
14464s	the fuel like it was 122 meters right
14466s	off the bat
14468s	and their kind of signature composition
14470s	their go-to stuff is ball tracer ashes
14473s	and anna so we'll have to see if the
14476s	hangzhou spark have studied the tape
14478s	throughout this tournament because
14479s	hungzhou spark was seeing them a lot
14480s	more on coliseum than new queen street
14484s	well on the other side we have a
14485s	hangzhou spark and here's a quick look
14486s	once again at the shy stats it feels
14488s	like the card that just keeps on giving
14491s	21 final blows as sojourn on dorado
14495s	16.4k damage we didn't even go to extra
14497s	rounds
14499s	oh my goodness shai is a monster to be
14501s	dealt with but when it comes to monsters
14503s	lemon i'm thinking about mn3 on the
14505s	philadelphia fusion this is the place
14508s	where mn3 stuck his flag in the ground
14511s	of the overwatch league and said this is
14514s	my year on new queen street mn3
14518s	absolutely decimated at the end of the
14521s	mid-season madness qualifiers and put on
14524s	one of the greatest individual
14526s	performances i have ever seen in a pro
14528s	game
14530s	while it also helps with shy it gets
14532s	nanoed i mean we're even hearing some
14534s	talks on twitter of just oh my god like
14536s	just nanowing a sojourn who already does
14539s	a ton of damage has a one-shot potential
14542s	but it's the damage mitigation the fact
14544s	that shai can stay alive when he jumps
14546s	into danger he's not jumping away he's
14549s	going in there and you just depend on
14552s	shy to just get three or four 5k
14555s	these fights it's insane the the clutch
14558s	potential that shai has even in that
14560s	last fight he was in the the attacker's
14563s	back line by himself the guy's nuts
14567s	so can spark depend on him again they're
14570s	on a series point a win here
14573s	is top four and i think a minimum of 75k
14576s	so a lot of dollars but fusion fans
14580s	don't give up hope now
14582s	it's all about fusion just making you go
14585s	through an emotional rollercoaster and
14587s	they can do it here on their choice of
14589s	map
14591s	yes fusion they teeter on the edge of
14594s	oblivion for hangzhou spark
14596s	the siren song of glory and victory is
14599s	ringing loud in their ears all they need
14601s	do is take that final step and claim it
14604s	here the major difference is going to be
14606s	in the tanks bellow three is keeping the
14607s	pace up on the wrecking ball meanwhile
14609s	for bernard it's all about the slow and
14611s	steady energy that wins the race with
14614s	this are you being a little bit more
14615s	brawly maybe giving over additional
14617s	resources to shine so we can play a
14619s	little bit more brazen on this ash
14622s	yeah the zarya is gonna do well
14624s	at scaling through long fights they have
14626s	the resources for the ana and the brig
14629s	to help out and it wouldn't even hurt to
14632s	just i know shy gets a lot of love but
14634s	nanoing the zarya just to have the
14636s	frontline potential because the where
14638s	zarya is weak is taking too much
14640s	pressure she only has two bubbles and
14642s	she has other people to care about
14643s	somehow bernard has already stopped them
14646s	and free mn3 from being in the tunnel
14649s	so really i'm surprised bernard's even
14651s	just in this tunnel that's usually where
14653s	you want to see shire or mn3 and i think
14655s	now that shai has that clear way he
14656s	actually gets pushed off from being on
14658s	top of tunnel bernard all that space for
14660s	nothing alfie also gets chased down by
14662s	bello sria and then three has burned two
14665s	people alive from just existing on the
14668s	low ground so with that alone that gets
14670s	fusion in some initial push
14672s	okay i'm in three that's not very nice i
14675s	think that uh there was a big problem
14676s	there for bernard being able to actually
14677s	generate his energy we saw aimgod
14679s	actually give up a five orb uh
14682s	play just because it would have given
14683s	bernard a lot of charge and playing
14685s	slowly here is mvn is in the interest of
14688s	visaya to get so many of these bubble
14690s	rotations but they're just not being fed
14692s	by philadelphia fusion because philly
14694s	know that if bellows three is absent and
14696s	bernard has charged things are gonna go
14698s	poorly huge
14700s	bernard actually got shoved into enemy
14702s	fire and he gets finished off
14705s	so fusion
14706s	still can continue this push this was
14708s	against the dallas fuel where fusion
14709s	just had this initial 100 meter push and
14712s	look it's just a passive place but also
14714s	reacting to these small opportunities
14717s	that the fusion have and when you shove
14718s	bernard you can capitalize on the front
14720s	line fusion now of a ton of space so
14722s	they got the capture point they do see
14724s	the spark on the high ground illustrio
14727s	does want to get up there and ml3 has
14729s	taken a flake he's thrown the dynamite
14731s	up it sparks a little hideout alfie has
14734s	been nanoed somehow by irony throws the
14738s	pulse doesn't connect somewhere off
14739s	screen as now fusion from on the car and
14743s	behind the enemy team have now thrown
14745s	the bomb to help stabilize a bit on the
14748s	front
14749s	but fusion got it maybe a bit too
14751s	creative on that front
14753s	maybe a touch of performance anxiety
14755s	therefore mn3 i don't think any shots
14757s	were really hit with that the shy is
14758s	hitting plenty once we're back a fixer's
14760s	head the snow is pink with brain matter
14763s	now and shy grabs themselves a quick
14766s	triple yes you got yourself a quick butt
14767s	scratching cap but we'll be taking this
14769s	now thank you very much on the other
14771s	side bernard finally has a graviton
14774s	surge available and remember there's not
14776s	really much to counter this from the
14777s	philadelphia fusion they don't have any
14778s	consistent shielding all they can really
14780s	do is try and nave themselves in hopes
14782s	that there might be enough healing but
14784s	aim god is so shy of that transcendence
14786s	that bernard can essentially get a free
14787s	kill onto engel and fixer if they play
14789s	close enough spacing is everything here
14792s	oh well that's some space you got the
14794s	mines to trap whoever was on the top of
14796s	the tunnel there from spark oh they're
14797s	shy the rally starts from super rich but
14800s	uh yeah last you carry there cheyenne
14802s	alpha yi dead you throw the ground just
14804s	to stop bella cereal but does spark even
14805s	have enough damage they just straight up
14807s	don't i don't think bernard even has a
14809s	lot of energy no just sitting at 30. so
14811s	the solo grab on the belliceria does
14813s	absolutely nothing asleep from irony to
14816s	lock down bella 3 is kind of nice but
14818s	again the lack of damage uh not working
14821s	out especially when you don't aren't
14822s	utilizing a zenyatta to get the discord
14825s	orbs out but sparker gets some good push
14827s	going i think the fusion may have got a
14829s	touch too aggressive there maybe aimgod
14831s	could have hid around in the back
14832s	admittedly it's a risk though could have
14834s	been staggered alas going in with not
14836s	really much behind them now hunger
14837s	sparker in a pretty good position to try
14839s	and take this next fight with shai so
14841s	close to that overclock if anyone feeds
14844s	him over old charge this is going to be
14845s	available before you know it and will be
14847s	for this most important of fights
14849s	yeah this is for the lead
14852s	to spark to win this fight shy is
14854s	falling asleep fixer stops it and the
14857s	orbs from aim god to clean things up and
14860s	even kills bernard with a headshot
14862s	spark were depending a little maybe too
14865s	much on the shot but i mean who expects
14868s	an honor to hit asleep mid-jump like
14870s	that that is insane
14874s	he's not just your healer he is your
14877s	playmaker fixer for standing on the flex
14881s	support usually playing on it
14884s	oh no get down mr burner oh
14888s	bloody hell that is that's tragic mate
14891s	that is absolutely tragic but for philly
14894s	fans that is a big old
14897s	smile uh
14899s	the fix upper but he's about to get
14901s	pulse oh dodge he does in fact dodge
14903s	he's a little bit low though it's okay
14905s	fusion
14906s	takes shelter in the pack room but
14908s	fusion got real creative last time off
14910s	with these left side flanks and it was
14912s	usually epic three who went there and
14913s	fix it could even do that if he wants to
14915s	throw a nasty ante the bob from mn3
14917s	thrown right on the bottom i believe but
14920s	either way that is doing work but you
14922s	can't discount what shai does trades it
14924s	up with a double kill spark have the
14926s	respawn advantage so that's huge for shy
14930s	to just impact this fight and stop
14932s	fusion from getting any further but the
14934s	lead is still heavily infusions favor
14936s	with 73 meters and spark at the cleanup
14939s	nonetheless no sleeves this time mate
14941s	and bellows rear staying alive also
14943s	means but in a pinch you'll be able to
14945s	contest the car because you can kind of
14947s	weave in and out quite effectively as a
14948s	wrecking ball and just keep trolling
14950s	timmy to stop him from moving bernard
14952s	critically needs to build up a good
14954s	amount of energy for this next fight
14955s	because the mortars heading towards high
14957s	ground are what are going to zone away
14958s	aim god and fix her from being able to
14960s	rain down free damage
14963s	bella street has mines and we learned
14964s	this the hard way of uh
14966s	bernard they lost
14968s	i think it got lost in transit
14971s	not sure how that happened but that
14973s	sparker just putting so much
14974s	prioritization of putting shy and
14976s	friends on the top of the tunnel because
14977s	it accesses the pack room where aim god
14979s	and fix it like to sit at but fellas ray
14981s	just is not letting that space go for
14983s	free and with those two picks uh fusion
14986s	are back on the card increasing this
14987s	lead to 80 plus and this is the red zone
14991s	spark need to win a fight but do it as
14993s	economically as possible because they
14995s	need to match that same 84 meters the
14997s	rally starts from super rich shy is on
15000s	the high ground not connecting much with
15002s	these charged shots but elise is getting
15004s	back up to a hundred things to fellas
15005s	ria and the card is not going further
15007s	fusion don't need it to the pulse from
15010s	alpha yield draws out the aim got
15011s	transcendence so if you're smart you
15013s	take the winds where you can as the
15016s	fusion slowly but surely run out of
15018s	bolts and don't feel like pushing any
15020s	further
15021s	where did that grab go where did
15022s	bernard's grav go that was supposed to
15024s	be a big fight winner if i should have
15025s	been a free kill onto aim gold and fixer
15027s	they forced out the transcendence using
15029s	the sticky i mean it was going to be all
15031s	burnout all the time but i've got no
15032s	idea where that little cosmological
15034s	construct went no stick no kill but zest
15038s	still is going to be this annoying
15040s	little pest in the back line and
15042s	bernard's got no armor as a zarya he
15044s	could be torn apart by that tracer
15047s	fusion don't even want to push further
15049s	than this they want to keep the spark
15050s	trapped and they're doing a great job
15052s	they've m3 has thrown the bomb on top of
15054s	his own body he's one hp and he's
15056s	getting well defended but bernard got
15058s	nanoed and he's walking into the back
15059s	line he's cleared off event three he
15062s	goes after fixa
15064s	and fusion well they can't keep this
15065s	trap going forever as bernard really
15068s	rethinks the zarya approach alpha yi's
15070s	on the tracer and bernard he swaps to
15072s	something else the doom fist
15075s	well the doomfist at least has a better
15076s	pace because that's the thing that's
15078s	happened to the hunger spark they have
15079s	not been fast enough to respond to
15081s	philadelphia fusion giving different
15083s	different stimuli from different angles
15085s	and alpha yi swaps as well over to the
15087s	genji this provides a lot of brawling
15089s	power on the front line alongside that
15091s	doomfist and this may be troublesome for
15093s	rain god when you don't have a
15094s	consistent tank in the front line to
15095s	protect you
15097s	yeah these crabs haven't been much in
15099s	the close range quarters bernard
15100s	hopefully can shine but at least we can
15102s	know we can depend on shy it's a double
15105s	kill and a third and the supports of
15107s	fusion head away with berners on the
15109s	chase any stagger kills is big for spark
15112s	but they still have to bring the bot
15114s	back to neutral point without affording
15116s	to lose anyone and spark have done that
15118s	they still have to win one more fight
15120s	and probably two or three to even match
15122s	what the fusion have
15125s	a new dynamic for these battles now with
15127s	the upgraded pace of the hangzhou spark
15128s	philadelphia fusion are going to have to
15130s	adapt here on the fly and bellows rear
15132s	needs to realize that while he has
15133s	downtime on these engagements bernard
15136s	and alfie are fast enough to get in onto
15138s	his back line fixer stands ready with a
15141s	nano boost do you give it on to mn3
15143s	again the avatar of death on new queen
15145s	street he's actually yellow west no way
15147s	the ante was disgusting from figsaw and
15149s	just an unlucky jump down by shy quick
15151s	capitalization by fusion they have to
15153s	use the transcendence though they lost
15155s	mn3 and they start the struggle the nano
15158s	on the bella syria not a prime target
15159s	especially while asleep and the rest of
15162s	the spark cleaned up all the bodies
15164s	around bella surya
15166s	and he was last on the hit list but they
15167s	didn't even manage to do that but spark
15169s	had to use quite a bit to get that done
15171s	still got some left over for a fight to
15173s	take the lead
15174s	miss coms and panic here bellows freya
15176s	tried to move into contest but it's just
15178s	going to have to give away this
15179s	checkpoint now still there's so far to
15181s	go for hangzhou spark and only 15
15183s	seconds in which to try and do it over
15185s	time yes will be in their future and one
15188s	fight win for philadelphia fusion can do
15190s	it all but they've spent most of their
15192s	resources and they've lost aim gods
15194s	bruno got slept again how does fix it
15196s	keep getting away with this and then
15198s	three barely alive but even through one
15201s	hp m3 kills two
15203s	fusion may have just done it they could
15205s	have forced the game five fixes in
15207s	trouble bernard's got the push he could
15209s	get them that guy in time and on the
15211s	card there's only the supports of super
15212s	rich and irony remaining the fusion just
15216s	on their strongest map
15219s	they've done it again they forced the
15222s	game five
15224s	what else could it look like when we
15226s	ascend the steps of the pantheon of
15229s	aipac no one was gonna back down no one
15231s	was gonna whimper no one was gonna blink
15234s	two warriors with swords drawn and
15237s	whether it's the anime guns or the power
15240s	of the sun in the palm of their hand
15243s	neither of these teams is willing to die
15246s	of course hangzhou spark have to tweet
15248s	the
15249s	the cat girl pig from shy as an
15251s	explanation of why shai is just so good
15253s	at the game and i'll believe it with my
15256s	eyes i mean the stats speak for
15258s	themselves shy makes this happen
15261s	but fusion pull out ahead on their
15263s	strongest map 80 meters and growing i
15266s	mean they've defeated so many teams on
15268s	this map alone but we go to control
15271s	it'll be spark's choice and we'll see
15274s	you after the break
15299s	[Music]
15315s	[Music]
15331s	[Music]
15341s	[Music]
15374s	[Music]
15400s	uh
15406s	[Music]
15417s	[Music]
15432s	[Music]
15487s	[Music]
15499s	it's game five and last life for hong
15503s	kong spark or philadelphia fusion but
15505s	their opportunity to go up against the
15507s	apex slayers of atlanta rain in the next
15510s	round
15512s	fusion i mean they had the 80 meter push
15514s	on new queen street and then gate kept
15517s	girl boss spark
15519s	until oblivion what a map that was
15522s	only one team from apac clemon will be
15526s	coming out alive of the next 20 minutes
15530s	they've been forced to fight each other
15532s	that's just the way the bracket crumbles
15534s	gushway has returned once more the main
15537s	tank extraordinaire to lead the troops
15540s	from the front this crown must be earned
15543s	it will not be given let's bring up our
15546s	map set in a little bit so that you guys
15548s	can see where hungzhou spark have
15550s	decided to bring us on our final control
15554s	with goose way coming in you could
15555s	probably take an informed guess but it's
15557s	going to be li zhong tower because
15560s	gushway he's got one himself one heck of
15562s	a rhine as well as a top tier winston
15566s	yeah when it comes to lujan tower we saw
15569s	hong zhou play this against the
15570s	philadelphia of the ocean hey guess what
15573s	in their first match their first meetup
15576s	and it was 2-1 for hong zhou at that
15579s	point so spark going back to what they
15583s	know best when it comes to fusion though
15585s	there are no strangers to love or li
15588s	jeong tower they defeated the florida
15590s	mayhem just yesterday in their final
15592s	game five on lee zhang tower that also
15594s	went the distance that was crazy they
15597s	had uber shaken over that round so i'm
15599s	excited to see how this final battle is
15602s	gonna be decided
15604s	i think it's gonna be all about the
15606s	order of the maps i feel like with
15608s	bellows rear in yes there's gonna be the
15611s	main tank in the back pocket for
15612s	philadelphia fusion do they want to try
15615s	and mirror
15617s	some kind of rush here the hunger spark
15618s	want to try and attempt that as well
15620s	thus far
15621s	shai has been putting on a clinic on the
15624s	hit scans he almost has a deadlift over
15626s	the entirety of the entire series here
15628s	lemon i believe he has
15631s	65 out of 138 total spark final blows
15635s	which is 47
15638s	going into map number five
15641s	that is almost uncanny considering that
15643s	he's sharing final blows for people like
15645s	gooshway and alfie
15648s	wow
15649s	i mean we really have
15651s	wow
15653s	we have some of the best of the best
15654s	like at this point there are no weak
15657s	like weak players on any teams anymore
15660s	it is stardom versus stardom we're gonna
15663s	go to liang tower and see what round we
15665s	end up on first
15667s	when it comes to at least the fusion
15670s	again a lot of ball tracer with zest
15673s	some ash and
15675s	sojourn for mn3 and then they kind of
15678s	hover around the zen brig or the zen bab
15680s	especially the back when you have more
15681s	of a poke phase on control center
15684s	speaking of control center here we are i
15687s	got to guess it just off the scenery
15691s	oh yes
15692s	map expert lemon reporting in do we see
15695s	the reinhardt is the question
15698s	do hungzhou spark wish to engage in
15701s	a touch of brawling no instead
15705s	bringing in gushway and having him play
15706s	doomfist would be an interesting angle
15708s	considering that they just had bernards
15710s	or both fronts fought here and burst in
15711s	playing a considerable amount of
15713s	doomfist philadelphia fusion i'd be
15716s	surprised to see bella soria stick to
15717s	this wrecking ball as wrecking ball does
15719s	suffer from the lack of high ceilings in
15721s	the in the server room
15723s	which means that engaging into one of
15725s	the most potent areas for a support to
15728s	hang out means you have very limited
15729s	options to try and make your pile driver
15731s	work but hey if anyone can make it work
15733s	or los ria can
15735s	well fusion tried the rush last time
15737s	they faced a spark on this and let's
15738s	just say it didn't work out it was 199
15740s	though but what did work for the spark
15743s	is this very comp they did have uh
15746s	alfie yeah on the genji lucio ana and
15749s	everything so quick rotations for the
15751s	spark and there's an engagement gushway
15753s	on the coast side the right and has
15755s	already punched out aim got cold and mn3
15758s	pooped off
15759s	so spark around this lucio honor just
15762s	coalescing together and it's working out
15765s	and god got booped off as well playing
15767s	on the edge they did not expect gooshway
15769s	to be on the doomfist they probably
15771s	thought the same as me that he was going
15772s	to be on the rhyme that's where they
15773s	went up and around the outside but
15775s	here's the engagement from goose way the
15777s	pace there unbelievable and guess what
15779s	eminem oh well guccifer fell off as well
15781s	okay three environmental kills in our
15783s	starting battle how else could it end
15785s	here in our apac battle royale
15788s	shy already so low as hunger spark have
15790s	got themselves the first cap do they
15791s	dare contest here
15793s	yeah that's kind of a big reason why you
15795s	don't hold that coast side you're so
15796s	vulnerable to boobs and gucci or sorry
15798s	uh bel soria got slept and auntie good
15801s	job by irony once again i felt like
15803s	bella freya just lived a little too long
15805s	on new queen street so i'm glad he could
15807s	get to know what dying is like a bit but
15809s	alfie has already killed two and he
15811s	wants to dash fixes so bad without you
15813s	know running into the shield bash and
15814s	all that he is going to harass zest some
15816s	more get a bunch of blinks out of him
15818s	and now dance around because remember
15820s	it's spark that have control of the
15821s	point so they can play this this ring
15823s	around the rosie this cat mess forever
15825s	and benefit from it and now because of
15827s	the lucio super rich reinforcements are
15830s	back from the sparks so they're almost
15831s	at full force
15833s	and alfie also heavily outpacing these
15834s	defensive ultimates when it comes to the
15836s	blade he's been hitting so many
15837s	shurikens but if he uses it in a good
15839s	amount of pace then it could easily
15841s	confound the philadelphia fusion losing
15843s	goose way means that space is going to
15844s	be hard to come by and alpha he gets
15846s	nano here for a big old he's dead he's
15848s	dead uh wow he just got one clipped and
15852s	dove one by pelas fellow surya that was
15854s	disgusting the guy was like ready to
15855s	whip out his blade and everything and
15857s	he's got sat on so spark don't have any
15859s	dps so it's to go next and palace is
15862s	killing everything okay okay he has
15864s	mines i wonder uh i don't know if you
15867s	want to hold choke but we'll see how the
15868s	mines will be used
15869s	was that bellows rear ace on the bowl
15872s	not only was that potentially a bellows
15873s	rare ace but that also stopped the nano
15875s	blade and now the window for the blades
15877s	effectiveness is closing for alfa yi aim
15879s	god's getting closer and closer to that
15881s	trance and fixer is also going to have
15883s	the rally which will give enough space
15884s	during the knockback to get the
15886s	additional health
15887s	oh the sleep on the sense of how he's
15889s	alive though but the blade from alfie
15892s	comes out he's got the sound bear of
15894s	super rich to supplement him but he had
15896s	such a hard time closing the gap with
15898s	him in the fusion at least he doesn't
15900s	extend too much he could serve his life
15902s	but the blade got a total of zero kills
15905s	so sparta have super rich
15906s	advantage is starting to go away gucci
15908s	got so eager because he thought he had
15909s	the meteor strike but he was still three
15911s	percent away and the punish from fusion
15913s	is so nasty the disengage against alpha
15916s	yi so smart the fusion are now back on
15919s	the point and they can chill for now
15922s	in the end it was more dragon bait than
15923s	dragon blade trying to get zest to chase
15925s	them in alpha yi solo gushway finally
15928s	has this meteor strike and it can't be
15930s	forced out early by a pulse bomb from
15932s	zest so instead you can use it to make a
15934s	much more aggressive dive and then try
15936s	and finish off one of those low supports
15937s	potentially even force out a
15939s	transcendence from aim gold in a
15940s	sub-optimal position
15942s	just honcho spark just want the server
15944s	control so bad so they can access this
15946s	back line cool tights from gushway you
15948s	scared the heck out of main god he just
15950s	used transcendence now fusion really
15952s	want to take a fight and they've
15955s	amazing got isolated so spark force the
15958s	transcendence and then jump immediately
15959s	on a man three it's a five on four
15962s	infusion they have to control the point
15963s	so they can probably just die on it get
15965s	to 99 and head on out unless mm3 gets
15967s	back soon pile drive from bellatria
15971s	spark dodge the pulse bomb from zest
15974s	and now spark don't really have any
15976s	ultimates
15977s	and they got to get away from these
15979s	mines it's 99 from the fusion if you
15981s	should never even reset you're losing
15983s	aim god through losing mn3 and now that
15985s	he's back he could shoot away and the
15987s	spark ain't looking too good without
15989s	gucci without shy what could possibly
15992s	pull out a win here you gotta use the
15994s	rally super rich used it immediately on
15996s	acquiring it
15998s	gush will be back soon on the hammond
16000s	and fusion are just wasting so much time
16003s	you can get a pick on the fusion and
16004s	they'll just never give up but at least
16006s	they kill super rich and irony cess
16009s	makes the miracle happen and fusion take
16012s	round one
16013s	and zested that against overhealth as
16015s	well against the rally zest got the two
16017s	versus one against the supports
16019s	unbelievable for the philadelphia fusion
16022s	and think about this they were coming
16024s	from behind they got knocked off
16026s	instantly two environmental kills in the
16028s	first fight control lemon it was all
16031s	about getting that first fight getting
16033s	control and playing from a defensive
16035s	position but philadelphia fusion the
16037s	greats they showed here's out for you
16040s	being denied for nano blade that would
16041s	have been everything because aim got a
16043s	fixer were nowhere near in a position to
16047s	try and deal with that this is bello
16050s	soria's piece de resistance this is his
16053s	magnum opus of competitive overwatch and
16055s	it's a round of control center
16057s	disgusting i mean the last time spark
16060s	infusion went to control center it was
16062s	spark that won it fusion had to change
16064s	their strat and bellow three at this
16066s	speed it's just so much
16068s	to handle and he gets out too so you
16070s	can't even kill him half the time
16073s	so now spark we go over to gardens
16076s	fusion won this 194 and of course that
16078s	was when mn3 even brought the sombra out
16081s	a little bit too much creativity
16082s	sometimes but now he's on the ash point
16085s	unlocked bella wants to prevent it gets
16087s	involved tries to stop the cap but no
16090s	one else is there no content from zazz
16092s	because he's dead he got booped to death
16094s	by super rich so spark at the first cap
16097s	and now they have the support so they've
16098s	got to fix a trapped
16100s	what synergy from the spark in the
16103s	moments that matter the most
16106s	faster stronger harder better that's
16108s	what hangzhou spark have demanded going
16111s	into round number two of potentially
16113s	their final map of the tournament
16114s	raising the tempo pushing on the gas
16118s	philadelphia fusion got absolutely
16120s	struck out there even with zest managing
16122s	to get as much damage as he did was the
16124s	first one to die and now hangzhou spark
16127s	as philadelphia fusion make their way
16128s	towards the point they can choose where
16131s	the battle happens with gushway's
16132s	initial dive
16135s	hangzhou doing some scouting so with
16138s	zest
16140s	knowing that most of the most everyone
16141s	on the spark are near the point and bell
16144s	street was trying to separate them and
16146s	got close to just getting the supports
16148s	of sparca low
16149s	and shy has a pulse bump to
16151s	zest too and his stick on irony he's
16153s	gone
16154s	five to four for the fusion as bella
16159s	outer chaos on the point a sport can't
16161s	even take shelter on the objective they
16163s	own belsery is separating them and the
16166s	fusion capitalized even fixo with the 2k
16169s	zest with the other
16171s	and it's the flip back over to fusion
16173s	with 67 to spark
16175s	an unbelievably large fight there from
16177s	zest a couple of blinks to find irony
16179s	and deny that nano now is going to be
16181s	available would you put it onto alpha ye
16183s	again would you risk the conflux of
16186s	bellows rear and zest bullying him out
16188s	with
16189s	that discord orb once again zest is just
16192s	being such a pain in the bottom and it's
16194s	a turn around from hunger spark trying
16195s	to ambush him over disengage oh yeah i
16197s	thought goose way was gonna get the nano
16199s	but it's the alpha yi we'll see if the
16200s	second time's a charm he's close to nano
16203s	and they drew out the transcendence so
16205s	this alpha yi blade could be big but
16207s	maybe he wants to wait out to fix a
16208s	rally especially now that it's
16210s	accumulated to this point the minus from
16212s	uh bella
16214s	out spark from dojo but it doesn't
16215s	really matter because they own the
16216s	entirety of the rest of the map so the
16219s	fusion are wiped away and we get a flip
16221s	back over to the spark 43 for fusion
16224s	this does however mean that super riches
16226s	use that sound barrier much more
16228s	aggressively than maybe they anticipated
16230s	and that means there's nothing to stop
16232s	mn3 from tearing through all of these
16233s	more squishy members when that
16235s	overclocks available and we've already
16236s	seen what zest can achieve with these
16238s	pulse bombs his stick rate this series
16240s	has been impressive and irony's been
16242s	feeling the brunt of it but alfa yi with
16245s	the blade invashif dare he drag it out
16248s	and call upon the dragon to once more
16250s	bring hangzhou spark to a stage number
16252s	three on control
16254s	all the boss again jump just does it
16258s	again his attach rate is crazy as
16260s	fusions start off on a good foot this
16262s	fight melissa has to separate the spark
16265s	what is he who brings out the blade
16268s	slices through the supports and the
16271s	spark at 99
16273s	have won the fight in round two they'll
16276s	force the third one
16279s	two to two lemon
16281s	one two one neither team
16284s	wants to die at this juncture both want
16288s	to be the representative of the east the
16291s	champion of aipac the one who would wear
16294s	the crown going into our third portion
16298s	of the season
16300s	so many teams are arrayed before them it
16303s	is a harsh path and it's one that will
16305s	tear them limb from limb but both of
16309s	these warriors they are bloodied
16312s	they are ready to take their first step
16315s	upon it however it all starts with a
16317s	single step here on night market of li
16320s	zhong tower and night market was the
16323s	last round that the spark infusion faced
16325s	off to define that first map when the
16328s	first time they met
16330s	will the script be rewritten
16332s	as spark
16333s	took that map the last time and took
16335s	night market as well
16338s	behind goose ways dive it was shy
16341s	actually on the sojourn last time
16343s	switching things up going for the gt
16346s	genji tracer dive to see if they can
16349s	work together for the final time their
16352s	last life this tournament fusion on the
16354s	point working on the cap first alpha yi
16357s	juking things out jumps over the wall
16359s	sees the supports gets some good right
16362s	clicks in as the shy is behind and
16364s	surely they can finish off a god
16366s	they do but they lose irony in the
16368s	process because the flank of the fusion
16370s	was on the spark's tail equally
16373s	spark don't have any supports neither do
16375s	fusion all damage is permanent and
16377s	there's three on two for fusion and they
16379s	already have the point so spark are the
16381s	ones that have to reset
16383s	we call those backline races let them
16384s	where you just raced to try and kill the
16386s	opponent supports and well philadelphia
16388s	fusion said kachow baby philadelphia
16390s	fusion now have zest with another pulse
16392s	bomb and well we know what that means
16394s	for irony luckily this time it's
16396s	survival as i already clings to life
16398s	with his little grippers and now
16400s	philadelphia fusion they're going to
16401s	have to retreat back to a point and wait
16403s	for hunger spark to come to them
16405s	potentially
16406s	oh i'm in threes already dead shy can
16408s	throw a pulse sees a bunch of supports i
16410s	mean it's just a blur at this point
16412s	that's all fixes seeing too is dark
16414s	as hangzhou spark hope to just flip this
16417s	point back over there's still the dps
16419s	and veloceria hanging around but they
16422s	don't have much to say after that so
16424s	spark gets to farm them up a little bit
16426s	and flip it over 58 for fusion
16429s	and critically hungry spark and now
16430s	gonna be in a defensive position once
16432s	more almost with access to that nano
16434s	blade they've enjoyed giving a nano over
16436s	to alpha you when he doesn't have a
16437s	blade in hand to see if they can force
16439s	any defensive countermeasures out of
16440s	philadelphia fusion the problem with
16442s	that currently is that philadelphia
16443s	fusion don't have the defensive counter
16446s	measures if hangzhou spark gets too
16447s	aggressive here though bellows rear can
16449s	roll in behind them put the minefield on
16451s	the point and try and exploit hunger
16453s	sparks disengage
16455s	see bella soria wants spark to play on
16458s	the point to drop these minds he's
16459s	already found super rich but or he's
16461s	found irony but super rich poops him and
16463s	now spark head for the middle of the map
16464s	they've already nailed goose way bella
16466s	focuses on the flip and it's not even
16468s	successful at doing that but cheyenne
16471s	accidentally runs into the mines as he
16472s	returns to the point to contest now half
16474s	a year on the hunt slices through zest
16477s	bella street is pretty low but
16479s	know if he's not feeling it would rather
16481s	stay safe on the objective and spark
16483s	hold on for now
16485s	aim god he needs an iron will when it
16488s	comes to this transcendence if he uses
16489s	it too early if gushway can force out
16491s	with a primal rage then alfie will have
16493s	himself a clear landing strip to bring
16495s	hungzhou spark to the next match later
16498s	today against the atlanta reign bellows
16501s	rear plays distraction but this simply
16503s	means that alfie has a clear path to
16505s	victory
16507s	who will be the last remaining team in
16510s	aipac spark have the old sound bear
16513s	starts but they couldn't get shy
16514s	involved so aim god and friends behind
16517s	the transcendence have to five on four
16519s	they rotate back to point the rally
16520s	starts from fixa fusion trying to
16523s	revitalize a bid as the flank from zest
16526s	has been unsuccessful the bob from mn3
16529s	is thrown in the market side so near the
16532s	middle of the map and now people are
16533s	getting pooped off the map left and
16535s	right fusion working to hold on to this
16538s	objective to get the lead back and alpha
16541s	yet gets his butt shut down are you
16543s	serious
16544s	but irony is gone and so are the hoofs
16547s	of the spark despite that's what the
16549s	fight win here a fusion will take back a
16550s	lead
16552s	it was messy but the blade from behind
16554s	simply could not find the purchase it
16556s	was not sharp enough nor with a hangzhou
16559s	spark as a holistic group
16561s	look at this irony once more the only
16564s	alts available for nano if he gets stuck
16566s	here it is over philadelphia fusion will
16569s	go and face atlanta rain later on lemon
16572s	this is the last battle
16574s	the nano available from irony
16577s	shy heading for mini pack
16579s	it's the battle in the middle of the map
16580s	gushway received the nano from irony
16583s	making the space working with alfie they
16585s	head into the support line mm3 is
16587s	separated from the flock couldn't get
16589s	any healing from aim got in time
16591s	spark have the numbers but bella street
16593s	has the space the mines the double kill
16595s	alpha and gooshway removed i already
16598s	gone fusion at 99
16601s	off of the tank who's grown from the
16604s	caterpillar to a butterfly that fusion
16606s	have done it further than any other apec
16609s	team game five they are top four
16613s	dallas fuel they could not stop them the
16617s	hangzhou spark they could not stop them
16620s	covid19
16621s	it could not stop them the power of the
16624s	sun in the palm of their hand
16626s	philadelphia fusion are going to face
16629s	the atlanta terrain later on today the
16632s	lower bracket the crown of aipac belongs
16635s	to them but there is yet more to be
16637s	earned here at mid-season madness lemon
16642s	only fusion can make the fans cry
16645s	and get frustrated the way they do but
16647s	only fusion makes my voice
16649s	go like that
16651s	i'm gonna feel that in the morning
16653s	what a heckin series
16655s	this tournament has presented some of
16657s	the best most exciting overwatch we have
16660s	seen this year
16662s	and the fusion will get top four minimum
16665s	of seventy five thousand dollars go up
16666s	against the atlanta rain the western
16668s	team that has slain the seoul dynasty
16671s	and the shanghai
16672s	and we're gonna find out if they can do
16675s	it again but before we head that way of
16677s	course we're gonna have the winners
16679s	bracket because the shock and the
16680s	gladiators is gonna be crazy enough you
16683s	guys thought this match was entertaining
16685s	wait for the ultimate battle of top one
16687s	and top two in the west but we also have
16689s	to crown
16691s	our top player of the match because
16695s	there were so many stars in this match
16697s	but only one is citrusy as i am your
16700s	player of the match is zest from the
16702s	philadelphia fusion
16705s	hima's name may start with a z lemon but
16708s	zest was the x factor when it came to
16712s	attaching those pulse bombs when it came
16713s	to bullying irony there is simply no
16717s	body better and what a
16720s	case zest is
16723s	for the
16724s	scouting for the rebuild
16726s	that we saw happen for philadelphia
16728s	fusion a bunch of new players that
16731s	they've been holding on to having dibs
16733s	on for years and years under t1 and
16736s	finally the investment has come to
16739s	fruition finally philadelphia fusion
16743s	have made good on the promises made and
16746s	zest is at the forefront of that victory
16748s	march
16750s	insane stats from zest just an
16753s	incredible tracer player flexing to echo
16756s	genji even in just a singular match
16759s	this is a guy you can depend on but i
16761s	also want to give a special shout out to
16762s	bello sria i've even talked in the past
16765s	how i felt like
16767s	this was
16768s	the weaker pillar of fusion at the start
16770s	of the regular season i don't think too
16771s	many people can argue with that but the
16773s	amount of work that bellasriya has done
16775s	to improve as a player improve as a tank
16778s	that can actually initiate and take the
16780s	space the double kill at the end for
16783s	night market when mn3 was dead fusion
16786s	turned around a
16787s	4v5 to win it all off of a bellows free
16790s	of play so i got to give you know a
16792s	shout out to what he was able to do in
16793s	that final fight and just throughout as
16796s	one of the one of the most improved
16798s	players i think in the league so shout
16801s	out to the philadelphia fusion fans you
16803s	can at least rejoice because they
16806s	haven't let you down in the lower
16808s	bracket yet
16809s	but on the other side of things in the
16811s	upper side we have the ultimate battle
16815s	of gladiators in shock number one and
16817s	number two in the west
16819s	that's gonna be insane josh necker are
16822s	gonna get on the mic because you know we
16823s	sound like dying cats at this point
16825s	because we're we're done we're done so
16827s	gladiators in shock are next we'll see
16830s	you guys later

17075s	oh my god that was so sick being a
17079s	philadelphia fusion fan is the best and
17081s	the worst thing at the same time oh that
17083s	was incredibly stressful especially
17085s	since they took it all the way to the
17086s	freaking like final round of the final
17089s	map and the final heart rate just going
17091s	like this in my chest and night market
17093s	it had to go to night market johnny said
17095s	it we're on gardens and he's like they
17097s	almost have to lose garden so we go back
17098s	to are you okay you good there johnny
17101s	yes you got your little it's okay
17103s	emotional support hamster
17106s	does he remind you of beloseria smacking
17109s	off the spark from the stage right there
17111s	and potentially just being the best dang
17112s	player we've ever seen in our whole
17114s	lives
17116s	am i a fusion foundation
17119s	yeah
17120s	okay think about it it's so fun bella's
17122s	ria is like the best wrecking ball that
17124s	we have in the league right now his
17125s	ability to move around the map and the
17127s	just the sheer amount of stuff that he
17129s	did in that match like that clip on
17130s	lijiang control center in the first
17132s	round was crazy like he
17135s	he gets the nano genji he gets everyone
17137s	it was it was so good honestly everyone
17139s	on the philadelphia fusion really pulled
17141s	their weight like you know zest was
17142s	crazy his pulse bomb attach rate was
17144s	high as you know leg day and lemon key
17146s	was saying but the big thing about it
17148s	was he wasn't just pulse bombing the
17150s	tanks and getting that high percentage
17152s	he was hitting high impact targets time
17154s	and time again the number of times he
17156s	stuck irony in this match
17158s	was nuts and then you have mn3 who i'm
17160s	not gonna say he was the better hit scan
17162s	in the server but he was holding his own
17164s	and i think as a team you saw that dive
17166s	come together a little bit
17169s	shy is so good
17171s	shy is just
17173s	unbelievable i i i really
17176s	actually never mind sorry i'm losing my
17178s	mind
17179s	row cess was really good on king's row
17181s	as well cest deserved player of the
17183s	match in my opinion yes i understand
17185s	that pelosi had all those closing out
17186s	plays on lee jang tower but cess
17188s	throughout his entire match was sick we
17190s	went over to dorado
17192s	shai had about 65
17194s	of his team's front blows 65
17198s	that that is absolutely bonkers that
17199s	might be the highest we've seen in a map
17201s	win i then you know don't quote me on
17203s	that because you know
17205s	this sleeper oh my gosh this this was
17208s	meant to be fusion's way okay there's
17210s	been a few matches in overwatch history
17212s	where things just fall into place and
17214s	like you go back and watch like the vods
17216s	and it doesn't make sense how things
17217s	turned out but it was just meant to be
17219s	okay you can't give fixer credit for
17221s	that sleep because but it was just meant
17222s	to be and that's just you just gotta
17224s	accept that it just fell fusion's way
17226s	now
17228s	lee zhang tower as you said like ben
17230s	austria was amazing um his mind
17232s	placement and discipline with pulling
17234s	out the minds the boobs uh both here uh
17237s	on control that they've also the boobs
17238s	on night market like we're phenomenal um
17241s	and i i think bellasri is making a name
17243s	for himself as one of the best working
17244s	balls in the entire league this is
17246s	someone who was signed after the season
17248s	started for the philadelphia fusion so
17250s	um amazing like breakout performance for
17253s	bella's real really i think you know
17254s	we've praised pelosi as wrecking ball
17256s	throughout the entire tournament but
17257s	this play in particular like saving it
17259s	here for the fusion um
17261s	really unbelievable play by himmel
17263s	bellasri here so gotta give him credit i
17265s	i also want to give like a final
17266s	sentiment to the hong kong spark they
17268s	were really good in this tournament
17271s	the hang show sport the hung shy spying
17273s	honestly it's about like here but i want
17275s	to give a little bit of credit to the
17276s	supporting cast like they were good like
17278s	they did their jobs like alfie had some
17280s	good moments and you know they had they
17282s	were pretty solid but it is the shy show
17284s	and they can't even deny it their
17286s	strategy on dorado was we're gonna nano
17288s	shy he's gonna press the overclock and
17290s	he's gonna kill three which seems like a
17292s	bad strategy it is a bad strategy it
17294s	should never be but it worked for them
17296s	he got multi kills consistently so you
17299s	know they broke the game like they
17301s	genuinely made sojourn look overpowered
17303s	i should cheat enough just because of
17305s	how good he is at that point you know
17307s	people are playing ash we saw hangzhou
17309s	spark bring out genji tracer so it's not
17311s	that other heroes aren't viable like
17313s	soldiers not broken in that she's like a
17315s	high percentage pick even though she's
17317s	just really good on some maps and then
17319s	on some maps you can just like nano and
17321s	rally and armor pack and it just breaks
17323s	the game
17324s	i i think you have to give untrustworth
17326s	some credit because not all teams can do
17327s	that and i think that's a testament to
17329s	how good shy is so hank troy spark you
17332s	did great
17332s	they won a full five maps that's nothing
17335s	to be you know feel ashamed of the fact
17337s	that they made it uh this far and
17338s	unfortunately just lost to the best team
17340s	in the entire league which is the fusion
17342s	uh they are the only remaining team in
17344s	the apac region yeah
17346s	well guys i sure know how to uh pick
17349s	them but listen now sorry to interrupt
17350s	you once more now is the time fusion
17352s	fans they go like did oh it's overly
17354s	gonna make us win the tournament yeah
17356s	but no he's okay here's what here's
17357s	where i want to start stemming the
17360s	bleeding a little bit because this has
17361s	happened before
17363s	guys philadelphia fusion fans including
17365s	you overly
17367s	you need to calm down okay because you
17369s	guys are doing great you're making it
17371s	far everyone's really proud of you guys
17372s	you guys i'm really excited for you
17375s	don't assume you're going to win because
17377s	this is what happens you guys get your
17378s	hopes up remember who are you saying
17379s	this for
17380s	everyone no one on the reddit is going
17382s	to be like oh it cost up yeah he really
17384s	spoke out there
17386s	common sense i love that
17388s	speak of the seconds graphic you know
17390s	with all the seconds just be careful
17392s	look at your hopeful well then let's say
17394s	this because for the fusion their action
17396s	is not
17397s	rather their journey is not complete
17399s	with this game especially for today
17401s	because they have to face the atlanta
17403s	reign and we could talk about this match
17404s	as we take a look at the lower bracket
17406s	because again fusion moving on they're
17408s	going to be taking on the rain today
17412s	and
17413s	how do we see this match going because
17415s	right now atlanta is just on the same
17418s	lower bracket run that fusion is on
17420s	honestly by coin yeah flip a coin they
17423s	both have these like play-off moments
17425s	where they just go crazy both have been
17427s	incredibly inconsistent so far
17429s	throughout the entire like qualifying
17431s	but they're when they get to the
17433s	playoffs when push comes to shove
17434s	atlanta rain and the philadelphia fusion
17436s	they're just on a different level so as
17438s	johnny said flip a coin who shows up in
17440s	the server
17441s	i'm excited to get into that game but
17442s	before we do that we gotta at least let
17444s	the fusion take you know a breather and
17447s	we have to let all the fans take a
17448s	breather because the next game that
17449s	we're gonna get into the shock versus
17452s	the gladiators the battle for california
17454s	norcal versus socal i grew up in north
17456s	cal but now i live in socal so guys i
17458s	side with the gladiators okay i like it
17460s	but what are your thoughts going into
17462s	this match it makes sense johnny it
17463s	makes sense yeah yeah yeah i i love
17466s	objectiveness
17467s	my favorite traits
17470s	i i put my faith in the gladiators i
17472s	think overall they are the kickoff clash
17474s	winners i think they've been dominant
17475s	throughout the entirety of the
17476s	tournament but the san francisco shock
17479s	they have just been on an absolute tear
17481s	recently i highlighted in the pre-show
17483s	that kev's the verse proper head-to-head
17485s	on the tracer i think that's gonna be
17487s	really awesome to see those two go
17488s	head-to-head because it's been almost
17490s	two months since we saw those guys go so
17492s	honestly
17493s	any any pick is valid nor caliber south
17496s	carolina yeah whatever you said that's a
17497s	completely valid guess but yeah johnny
17500s	it's going to be interesting to see what
17501s	the lg gladiators do here because they
17503s	relied a lot on skewed and shoe of
17504s	course to get them through so many of
17506s	these matches this season but funny
17507s	astro he had an incredible performance
17509s	on lucio just the other day that like
17511s	came in super sub on the fourth map and
17514s	then they you know won the two remaining
17515s	maps right this this minute on illios
17518s	was absolutely incredible for him to
17520s	hear the boop and then potty pon gets
17522s	alfie out of the duplicates so the the
17525s	like few frames he just fell down the
17527s	pit and then i mean survives this moment
17529s	as well funny asteroids just absolutely
17532s	went crazy so this was a strategy that
17533s	worked really well against the hangzhou
17535s	sport i mean the
17538s	costa like dreams of this stuff
17540s	it's hard to like state like if you want
17542s	to lucify how difficult what he is doing
17544s	and how he's staying alive against the
17546s	best players in the world like it's just
17548s	it's so crazy and this is so
17549s	interestingly going on to illios this is
17551s	something that the san francisco shock
17553s	don't want to do they do not want to
17555s	move violet over to that lucio if they
17557s	do they're gonna get dipped yeah they
17559s	are and so i'm excited to see how this
17561s	is going to play out just because you
17562s	know these are the two best teams and
17564s	then we talk about the tank matchup that
17566s	you highlighted in the pre-show rhino vs
17568s	colluge they have a history of playing
17569s	together now they're against each other
17571s	in you know one of the penultimate
17573s	matches in the winner's final yeah so
17574s	there are two ways i could really see
17576s	this going for the show either you
17577s	commit to the sun and honor and you have
17579s	finn and violet like violet was like a
17581s	top three mvp candidate in 2020 because
17583s	of zenyatta and finn is like an amazing
17586s	honor player as well or like if if the
17588s	gladiators diff you on that do you go to
17591s	like batiste do you slow things down
17592s	with a brigitte violet has a fantastic
17595s	brigitte maybe you slow it down all the
17597s	way to diva play i really don't know how
17599s	this match is going to turn out but the
17601s	strategic options that shock has with
17603s	diva
17604s	multiple different like support
17605s	compositions it's going to be a treat i
17608s	can't wait to see this match start can't
17610s	wait to see this match the first seed
17612s	taking on the second seed only one of
17615s	them is going to lock in their spot to
17617s	tomorrow's grand finals and the other is
17619s	just gonna have to fight it out in the
17620s	lower bracket i'm excited to get into
17622s	this match but before we do we're gonna
17624s	take a quick break but don't go anywhere
17626s	because when we come back we're gonna
17627s	see that battle of california

17866s	[Music]
17873s	welcome back after that short break
17876s	this single match stands between either
17878s	the glad or the shock making it to the
17881s	mid season madness finals the other one
17884s	will jump down to the losers bracket
17886s	where they will have to continue to
17888s	fight for that place the glads and the
17890s	shark world they've both been
17892s	exceptional throughout the start of the
17894s	tournament both them find their way
17896s	through the upper bracket and they meet
17897s	right here in the upper bracket grand
17899s	finals and rose the shock still on a
17901s	massive win streak by the way they are
17903s	oh yeah undefeated eight matches in a
17907s	row it's insane and in those eight
17909s	matches by the way they've only lost
17910s	four maps
17912s	yeah well i think what's really
17914s	incredible about getting a chance to see
17915s	both of these teams duke it out in
17918s	the winners finals of the mid season
17920s	madness tournament is that these are
17922s	inarguably the two best teams in the
17925s	western region and to see them go
17927s	head-to-head now
17929s	i mean this is just fantastic i can't
17932s	believe that we've got kind of two
17934s	giga bangers of matches back to back
17936s	like jen and harry taking you through an
17938s	incredible matchup earlier today and now
17941s	we get to roll right into this clash of
17943s	titans jaws i cannot wait to see what's
17946s	gonna happen for this series like i i'm
17948s	expecting five maps can we get five maps
17950s	please no c9s okay no c9s that's okay
17953s	please it's a little bit of a hard one
17955s	is that too much to ask american
17957s	overwatch so uh yeah
17958s	let's have a look at the gladiators
17960s	though i mean look the gladiators they
17963s	had a tough game
17965s	yesterday against the hangzhou spark it
17968s	went to five games in fact a lot of our
17970s	ridiculous games uh
17972s	matches recently have gone to five and
17974s	that was no exception it did look like
17977s	the spark we're going to win it out but
17978s	glad clutched it in the very final few
17981s	moments
17982s	dude kevster pada pan reiner shu and
17984s	astro starting us off today
17988s	yeah we do and so this definitely tells
17990s	me that they want to go fast and they
17992s	want to hit hard funny astro got subbed
17993s	in for the final two maps of the
17995s	gladiator series versus hong show
17997s	yesterday and you could feel the impact
17999s	that that particular player had on the
18002s	roster it's not to say obviously that
18004s	skewed wasn't doing a fantastic job
18006s	throughout the rest of the series but
18007s	funny astro just provides something so
18009s	different in that lucille pick and it
18011s	makes it very aggressive god
18014s	the loud show is just um
18016s	he's also crazy but astro is a
18018s	phenomenal lucio player he's i tweeted
18020s	out but his name is the the best i think
18022s	we've ever seen um in terms of lucio's
18024s	let's have a look at their opponents
18026s	the san fran cisco shock eight match win
18030s	streak and in those eight matches
18033s	they've only lost four
18035s	maps they had an unreal series versus
18038s	the dragons a series a lot of people
18041s	were thinking
18042s	that would go to five maps but
18045s	shock just kind of ran away with it
18046s	there were maps that just weren't even
18048s	close like the shanghai dragons
18050s	fell over like
18052s	circuit royale uh iconvalda like a lot
18054s	of the maps they just were not stopped
18056s	it was insane proper sam mikey finn and
18060s	violet starting today
18062s	yeah and this just provides so much
18065s	diversity when it comes to san francisco
18067s	shocks lineup the fact that
18071s	mickey uh
18073s	mikey over there uh is going to be in
18076s	that main tank roll here for the shock
18079s	comes in playing the wrecking ball we
18080s	get a chance to see some winston and the
18082s	fact that we're kicking things off at a
18083s	control map does speak that that we will
18086s	be having that as an option um so
18090s	definitely expect mikey to be playing
18091s	both of those heroes but proper proper
18094s	proper
18095s	oh we go we talk about the meta all the
18097s	time but jaws we have to talk about the
18100s	fact that proper is meta proper is so
18102s	meta yeah i think the bingo
18105s	slot has already been filled the casters
18106s	talk about rookie of the year i think
18108s	it's happened a few times but he's in
18109s	contention and is i think right now
18112s	far in the lead
18114s	the amount of clips he generates is
18116s	astronomical we are going on to illios
18119s	rose as our first map and it was shock's
18122s	choice
18123s	yeah it was and so that's why i think it
18126s	speaks a lot to why mikey is going to be
18128s	starting off for us
18130s	definitely playing the wrecking ball the
18132s	winston and i love those choices when
18135s	you look at how shock has been able to
18137s	capitalize off of the power that dps
18140s	like sam and like proper really bring to
18143s	this roster you know mikey able to
18144s	create so much space with the disruption
18147s	provided by the wrecking ball and the
18149s	winston and also if you wanted to go
18151s	over to other incredibly flexible hero
18154s	choices that sam and proper have access
18156s	to
18157s	then i think you just get a lot that
18160s	shock gets a play around with being such
18163s	a strategic hive mind playing against
18165s	these other teams but gladiators will
18167s	provide a formidable opponent for them
18169s	today
18170s	when reiner also has that same type of
18172s	flexibility as the starting tank for the
18175s	gladiators
18176s	sam's gonna be rolling out on the echo i
18179s	mean this is kind of classic gladiators
18181s	too on this map funny astro we saw
18183s	yesterday and you picked up on it
18184s	already but he was just out of control
18190s	spoke about it
18191s	playing a lucio hitting all those
18193s	cheerios those uh those left clicks and
18196s	also staying alive against some of the
18197s	best players in the world
18198s	almost impossible but astro always
18201s	manages to do it somehow
18202s	san francisco shock push back just a
18204s	little bit glad setting the tempo with
18206s	this game
18207s	for the time being
18209s	all the way up to uh the shot making
18211s	sure they can't get uh let mikey on the
18213s	back line is quite important a couple of
18214s	try shots hits reiner's head however so
18217s	he has to back off but mikey is going
18218s	pretty low small dive in from rhino to
18220s	try and finish the kill but the
18222s	gladiators actually end up capping the
18224s	point a trade for kepster for violet but
18226s	with the last show going down the
18227s	gladiators might be in a little bit of
18229s	trouble rhino falls to mikey
18232s	shot more than happy to let the
18234s	gladiators dive in on the back line they
18235s	have violent fin sitting there chunking
18237s	health bars down as they do win the
18239s	fight and find the cap
18242s	i love that you brought up how san
18243s	francisco were really playing that first
18245s	engagement right allowing gladiators to
18247s	take control of the objective first and
18250s	then you saw that mikey got really low
18252s	started to back up towards the rest of
18254s	his team and that's when gladiators
18256s	decided to initiate and that ultimately
18258s	ended up being their demise where you
18261s	had shock waiting for that particular
18264s	moment to be able to turn the tide back
18266s	in their favor and now proper has a
18268s	pulse bomb already ready to go for the
18270s	back line of the gladiators
18272s	already used to leap out there's the
18274s	stick and they heal him up in time no
18275s	they cannot the gladiators however in
18278s	all of that uh commotion managed to cap
18280s	the point of pain gets narrowed straight
18282s	to the back vine in trouble double kill
18284s	for the genji he's got stamina takes a
18286s	couple of sticky bombs ends up falling
18288s	over but does enough damage to sam for
18290s	kepster to finish off gladiators with
18293s	unreal point control shock once again
18296s	recoiling a little bit and allow glads
18299s	to cap midway through that fight
18301s	well that's the power of funny astro
18303s	lucio it's not even just funny astro
18305s	just being such an aggressive player and
18307s	being super slippery and survivable but
18310s	it's just lucio allows the composition
18312s	of the gladiators to go so much faster
18314s	and shock doesn't really have the same
18316s	type of pivoting ability because they do
18318s	have that more inflexible backline of
18320s	the zenyatta and the brigitta
18323s	paul swan
18324s	on the floor unlucky pancake that one oh
18327s	there's the slam and the mines for mikey
18330s	once again playing a little bit more
18331s	defensive wrecking ball a sound bar if
18333s	the guy just doesn't hit rhino because
18334s	he's already dead sam's now in the back
18336s	line maybe goes for the duke just before
18338s	the anna goes down but can't quite get
18340s	that beam damage off luckily the tri
18342s	shots land and shu does end up falling
18344s	and shock finds the cap once more
18347s	it's gonna be so back and forth and a
18349s	lot of this is just both of these teams
18351s	paying so much respect to each other
18353s	they know that these fights are going to
18355s	be
18356s	very very fast and you can't make any
18358s	mistakes gladiators already walked away
18361s	with 72 percent but you can see that the
18363s	shock our posture to keep this rolling
18365s	and to match that especially when you
18367s	look at how proper is poised with
18369s	another pulse bomb and sam's got the
18371s	duplicate online get ready for an
18373s	aggressive echo
18375s	you've got to go right now if you're
18376s	padded you hit that rally go up you've
18377s	got to kill that break but he's so low
18379s	no nano to bear the gladiators didn't
18381s	want to combo those holes they just
18383s	throw the blade in willy-nilly
18384s	shoe reiner end up going down and the
18386s	san francisco shock they come out king
18389s	on that one they only use the rally in
18391s	that fight rose still have both dps alts
18394s	and in fact padapan switching over to
18396s	sombra instead now wow so i guess like
18399s	really feeling the power of the echo
18402s	right now from sam you cannot deflect
18404s	any of those focus beams coming out from
18407s	that hero so maybe the sombra will help
18410s	to pressure down the front line of shock
18412s	just a little bit more with those manual
18414s	hacks onto mikey
18416s	but uh ooh on it dude
18418s	yeah it's uh i think it was i'm not sure
18421s	what happened there but sam's duke did
18422s	end up going down as kevin finds two and
18425s	a half you'll call that make that two
18427s	and a half now violet ends up falling
18429s	gladiator is just getting disintegrated
18431s	by kepster in the back line nice little
18433s	sleep on sam he does kill shoe but it
18434s	shouldn't matter there's astro with a
18436s	couple of cheerios to the dome 96 to 86
18440s	and building rows and gladiators still
18441s	have the nano and primal
18443s	they do that's huge because that could
18445s	be enough sustain for the gladiators to
18447s	get to that final win condition of the
18449s	emp if they need it patty is already 60
18451s	there and we are approaching the end of
18453s	this round it's most of us pulse rookie
18455s	versus rookie proper sense he's out he
18458s	does that on the bubble so no damage
18460s	reiner pops the primal rage now trying
18462s	to juggle violet into the rest of his
18463s	team and nano boost lands on top of him
18465s	he ends up jumping straight back in
18467s	can't really get the primal blade but
18468s	helps panapan secure the kill on
18470s	violence over time is here and shocked
18471s	now pressure to touch the point but
18473s	there's almost nobody left it's only
18475s	proper and mikey who's taking a nap
18477s	proper is one hp struggling to find a
18479s	health pack to pick up
18481s	wasn't quick enough to get back to the
18483s	point in time the gladiators
18485s	claim the first round
18487s	what an exceptional example of these two
18490s	teams going head-to-head already in that
18492s	first round and how quickly they are to
18494s	adjust to each other gladiators didn't
18497s	get any value from any of the dragon
18499s	blades that came out from patapan
18500s	immediately switched him over to the
18502s	sombra and started to
18504s	go ahead and take the round but shock
18506s	also playing that so well
18508s	to deny the gladiators the aggressive
18511s	stance that they wanted to take with the
18513s	lucio for so long
18516s	but boy oh boy this is gonna be so back
18518s	and forth and i cannot believe we've
18519s	already got such a treat for that first
18521s	round
18522s	that wasn't
18524s	unbelievably well executed dive by
18527s	reiner
18529s	and uh yeah
18531s	all right so we're going
18532s	on to ruins ryan is now on the doom a
18535s	little bit easier to counter the
18536s	wrecking ball of course and just kind of
18538s	move the wrecking ball around oh okay
18541s	just gets locked all right that's a good
18543s	way to start if you're shocked i sleep
18545s	on ryan i shouldn't result in all too
18546s	much though i guess auntie but it's
18548s	whatever yeah
18550s	all right go again maybe maybe uh
18552s	a little bit of poke but with sam
18555s	setting up like this rose
18556s	garden isn't going to wash their heads
18559s	yes they do we have seen many a player
18562s	recently gets
18564s	surprised maybe by some of these dome
18566s	shots and hanzo definitely provides that
18568s	utility
18570s	quick capture for the shock though
18572s	yeah ryan is getting rolled in the front
18574s	line he bought the power block but he
18575s	was already auntied and if you're
18576s	shooting from behind it doesn't really
18577s	matter oh astro yeah okay can't do any
18580s	funny business son you have to sit down
18582s	however panapana shoes still end up
18583s	finding kills but with mikey on the back
18585s	line and the health bars dwindling for
18586s	the gladiators it's a pretty easy win
18589s	here
18591s	yeah that's just going to allow san
18592s	francisco shop to keep the ball rolling
18595s	and we might start to see some
18597s	adjustments coming in from the
18598s	gladiators i mean already we're going to
18600s	see reiner switch from the doomfist to
18602s	the winston and that should help to
18605s	initiate on some of these dives onto the
18606s	back line just a little bit better the
18609s	violet this time around is going to be
18610s	playing the ana instead of the brigitte
18612s	but it's still pretty stationary
18614s	backline when you take a look at things
18616s	that's a huge pick not much of a log
18618s	maybe a digital log but it's still hit
18620s	violet's head he ends up tired good
18622s	start paddy finds two
18624s	gladiator is happy to walk this one home
18626s	maybe proper comes back with the pulse
18628s	bomb but rather unlikely i think they
18629s	just want to go again i mean you take
18631s	that 50 plus percent okay well i've been
18634s	trying to kick out today
18637s	[Laughter]
18638s	well
18639s	you gotta try right you walk away with
18641s	as much alt charge as you can
18643s	so at least finn will be even closer
18646s	towards that transcendence heading into
18648s	these next rounds sam though switching
18649s	off the hanzo now on to the sojourn a
18651s	little bit more mobility afforded and
18654s	you still have a lot of that one-shot
18655s	potential with those charged up railgun
18657s	shots but you also just have more
18659s	consistent damage it feels like when you
18661s	have such mobile pieces of the
18662s	gladiators in
18671s	somehow still alive robert kills a shoe
18673s	so gladiator is just kind of falling
18676s	over what happened there
18677s	that was i mean i thought kevster was
18679s	just going to go for the pulse bomb onto
18680s	violet it seemed a pretty easy target
18682s	but they're
18683s	i guess their ideal engagement was just
18685s	killing finn
18686s	the idea is at least they have that beat
18689s	left and his feet he does get nano too
18691s	just kind of goes crazy with it yeah the
18694s	the entire line of the gladiator is just
18696s	dove to the back line to kill that zen
18697s	but kev's had a chance to post bomb
18701s	violet but just chose not to
18703s	now approaching the point once more
18705s	there's a beat for the gladiators might
18706s	want to go quick force out the
18708s	transcendence from finn there it is it's
18710s	been forced and padded on the wrong side
18712s	of that bubble the beat does end up
18713s	going out anyway for the glass they do
18715s	surge on boards all the way back to
18717s	shock spawn reiner jumps on top of it
18720s	turns into mush make that a double was
18722s	while it goes down but the san francisco
18724s	shock still on 95
18727s	mikey is on the point still contesting
18729s	making sure they eat individual percent
18732s	towards their victory in their wing
18733s	condition ashko going pretty low as
18736s	proper is still alive hunting him down
18738s	he's one hp just finish him get health
18740s	back as well maybe take the 1v1 throws
18742s	out the pulse bomb goes completely wide
18743s	but he is still alive in the back line
18745s	but gladiators still control the point
18748s	yeah they did get the flip in that
18749s	engagement just trying to finish off the
18751s	last dredges of the san francisco shock
18754s	so proper goes down that should stop the
18756s	recontest from the shock for just a
18758s	little while just like that extra shot
18759s	from paddy comes through but
18761s	this is a pretty big flip for the
18763s	gladiators here knowing that kepsters
18765s	still hold on to that pulse bomb they're
18767s	finding some
18768s	nasty staggers this is not good for the
18770s	shot they need to just complete
18773s	reset as five go again they don't want
18774s	to bleed
18776s	gladiators just want to force this final
18777s	fight i mean we're at 75 already bros
18780s	yeah absolutely i mean when we took a
18782s	look at how we actually saw kind of
18784s	proper playing in the backline as well
18786s	uh just to be able to deal with patapan
18789s	and and all of that i really thought
18791s	that shock might be able to keep the
18793s	control of the point but at least shock
18795s	have some tools to come back in now with
18797s	final fight
18799s	so i'm trying to draw them out of hands
18800s	having none of it you in a little bit of
18802s	trouble can sound like the shots only a
18804s	body shot but
18806s	no follow-up reiner gets the nano jump
18808s	straight to the back line the gladiators
18810s	just rolling the shock right now
18812s	the glass do end up losing shoe but they
18814s	are in control of the point
18816s	rhino just absolutely decimates the
18818s	shock and they claim map number one clad
18821s	coach good map pick
18822s	claps all around
18824s	remember shot comes in um rose choosing
18827s	this map glad yeah whatever we'll take
18829s	that
18830s	yeah absolutely and i mean that's
18832s	exactly what you want to do as i do do
18835s	we even call them the lower seed here
18837s	we're looking at seeds one and two right
18839s	now lower seed doesn't really seem to be
18841s	uh any sort of indicator of skilled gap
18844s	difference here that we're gonna see
18845s	between these two teams um but it does
18848s	feel good as the lower seat coming in
18850s	winning your opponent's map pick that's
18852s	for sure oh yeah the confidence booster
18855s	is
18856s	huge you bet the boys are hyping them up
18858s	now you can see under face and smash
18860s	just give him a few fights a few words
18863s	of advice before they go to map number
18865s	two it will be shocks pick once again
18867s	we'll see where they want to go after
18868s	this break
19009s	[Music]
19032s	[Music]
19061s	[Music]
19068s	[Music]
19076s	[Music]
19084s	you
19097s	[Music]
19104s	yes
19108s	[Music]
19121s	[Music]
19133s	glad's off to a strong strong start is
19136s	the san francisco shock looking a little
19139s	bit more like a side character right now
19141s	uh is the glads kind of steamroll um the
19145s	control took it 2-0 as we head to hybrid
19148s	and ikabada is the next map
19151s	yeah and that's not really a surprise i
19153s	would love to call up something that the
19155s	watchpoint desk talked about during the
19157s	pre-show and that is the hybrid map
19159s	records for both of these teams coming
19161s	into the mid-season madness tournament i
19164s	mean i can volda is shock's strongest
19168s	record and when you take a look at the
19169s	fact that the gladiators don't have much
19171s	official experience on this map and they
19174s	also don't have a positive map record on
19176s	it i think that speaks volumes to why
19178s	shock would want to take us here not
19180s	only that but during the mid-season
19181s	madness tournament san francisco shock
19184s	have pulled out a colluge diva which i
19187s	think has been a surprise to a lot of
19189s	people but speaking of that well let's
19192s	talk about some of the substitutions
19193s	we're seeing for this map yeah kalusha's
19195s	coming in
19196s	which is good stuff it's kind of yeah
19199s	you you'd expect it skew is coming in
19201s	for astro
19203s	and
19204s	when we talk about this diva pick rose i
19207s	want to say like some people are hanging
19209s	on the diva some people liking it i
19211s	personally quite like it on uh second
19213s	point i converted i think it's very very
19215s	strong um just because you can
19217s	you can get up to the high ground so
19219s	quickly and so often but with even more
19221s	often than not uh right now in the meta
19222s	you're playing more of a defensive style
19226s	of things
19228s	but we'll have to see how that ends up
19229s	going down maybe the uh maybe they pick
19231s	that up or they've got something else
19232s	that they're saving yeah i think the
19234s	shock tweeted out something a little bit
19236s	earlier on as well yeah we got a little
19238s	traffic on this side of the break i mean
19239s	look at that
19240s	when two chads meet
19242s	wait you know what's really impressive
19244s	about this though too jaws i think we
19246s	all know how tall collusion is yeah is
19249s	there any weird camera angle thing going
19251s	on here yeah i don't know are they both
19253s	this tall i i i is also uh pretty
19256s	ginormous i will say just a little a
19259s	little peck on the cheek before you
19260s	start the game that's our two shots okay
19262s	there you go well there you go okay
19264s	who can crack first ryan is already lost
19267s	what
19268s	okay this is a this is a peggy 12 stream
19270s	peggy 12 stream by the way
19273s	okay
19274s	i love it though no definitely two chads
19277s	i mean i you saw that and you're going
19280s	to see that throughout the remainder of
19282s	this series how important that tank roll
19285s	is for both of these teams and how much
19287s	they're going to be playing around that
19289s	heading into these future maps i mean i
19292s	think the fact that it looked like san
19293s	francisco got folded over like deck
19296s	chairs on a warm summer's day there is
19298s	because reiner became the unbeatable
19301s	raid boss do you see how many resources
19304s	the gladiators were putting into this
19305s	man to take out the
19307s	shock
19308s	look at the end of the day
19310s	if one player is popping off you just
19312s	continue
19314s	throwing resources at him to make sure
19316s	that he can pop off yeah
19318s	just nano shy every single fight if you
19320s	don't have nano and you don't have shy's
19322s	not alive then it may be gg i mean hey
19324s	if it works
19325s	it works i guess
19327s	it's too soon it's too soon you can't
19329s	say ggg yet all right anyway going to
19332s	ikebabado as our next map and yeah rose
19334s	like that scoreline for the shock it's
19336s	kind of insane like six and two on this
19338s	map not so hot on midtown one and three
19340s	not great not great i guess that's well
19342s	at least they got the choice though
19343s	exactly
19345s	at least you get that benefit right oh
19347s	we've lost the first map but we can
19348s	choose the next one right so you're
19350s	hoping that plays into their wheelhouse
19352s	and like i said maybe we do see a little
19354s	bit of clues diva on at the second point
19357s	you play a little bit more defensive
19358s	using your matrix for your support it
19360s	can get kind of run over if you're not
19362s	careful and it's
19363s	a bit of an old battery too or i
19366s	wouldn't say an old battery a railgun
19367s	battery for the
19369s	because you have to use that matrix so
19371s	sparingly
19373s	yes no you're absolutely right and i
19375s	think that's why there's this
19377s	love-hate relationship right now with
19379s	seeing diva as a part of this meta and
19381s	san francisco shock relying on this
19382s	particular hero choice
19384s	for a lot of their team comps
19387s	it's a great boon when it works for your
19389s	team and if it's in the right hands like
19392s	colluge piloting the mech i think you're
19394s	gonna be fine
19395s	but
19396s	depending on the team that you're
19397s	playing against it can also be a
19399s	detriment and i feel like if you've got
19402s	a sojourn
19403s	with patty behind the wheel that that
19406s	might be a detriment
19409s	we'll see we'll see
19412s	how do you how do you get gapped
19414s	okay
19416s	it's two when two chad's me
19419s	that's the title of their love story
19421s	i love it
19423s	all right
19424s	samsung's shot they are going the diva
19426s	but it's on first point gladiators i
19428s	think are more than happy with this they
19429s	can obviously switch if they need to but
19431s	ryden running the zarya
19433s	typically the zarya rolls the diva beam
19435s	goes through matrix very nice micro
19437s	missiles charge up the bubble uh charge
19439s	up from the bubbles super easily i was a
19441s	nice little sleep on to paddy doesn't
19444s	result in anything but it's up to rhino
19446s	here to make the space but when you
19448s	don't have those bubbles rose very tough
19450s	to do so
19451s	up to a 40 energy not the worst but they
19454s	just have to watch out proppers in the
19455s	background and
19456s	70 all charged make that 75 count with
19459s	numbers right now make that 80 almost
19461s	for the san francisco shots proper he's
19463s	close to pulse and it hasn't been like a
19465s	minute yet
19467s	nope
19468s	nope that that's proper for you
19471s	propper's meta he's gonna get it
19472s	properly and the pulse bomb will come
19474s	online very quickly well they expect it
19476s	not sure violence already dead robert
19478s	needs to do something with his post but
19479s	already him with a recall you trade one
19481s	for one as sku goes pretty low he's
19483s	getting perfect pocketed by shoe right
19484s	now he's earned the nano off of all of
19486s	that damage that prop has been doing
19488s	skewed dmx
19492s	easy game there's the point the
19494s	gladiators end up unlocking the payload
19498s	yeah wait what shock just got two picks
19501s	at the very end that's yeah
19504s	fortunate you can't tell me they weren't
19506s	close enough yeah
19508s	throw their bodies on the point real
19509s	fast i don't know it sounds terrible
19512s	we'll go back and check the tape in a
19513s	little bit regardless shocker set up on
19516s	the second point where we expect to see
19518s	the diva perform just a little bit
19520s	better especially when you know that hey
19522s	there's still a pulse bomb that could
19524s	well well collusion isn't going to block
19526s	his own team's pulse bomb but you've got
19528s	other things that could be coming your
19529s	way like reiner's actually working up to
19531s	a graviton surge very quickly here the
19533s	defense matrix could be very important
19535s	yeah you've got to eat it uh this is one
19537s	of the better points for the diva to be
19539s	up right are going pretty like kebster
19540s	trying to disrupt the uh the high ground
19543s	here
19544s	and it's all up to kaloush to touch this
19546s	payload like he's the
19547s	he's the one that has the permission on
19549s	it but against that zarya
19550s	it's a little bit harder than you might
19552s	think
19553s	reiner got the grab online kalush has to
19555s	escape to the high ground kev's still
19557s	trying to build up towards that blade
19558s	proper still holding up to this pulse
19559s	bomb but the rest of the glads catching
19561s	up with the ultimates sam's going to get
19563s	nano dive straight to the back line
19565s	collusion a little bit of trouble
19567s	perfect defense matrix there from kalu
19569s	stopping all the healing and landing on
19571s	to rhino the blade's been pulled from
19572s	kev sorry does fine too both supports
19575s	now dead for the shock sam transforms
19577s	into the soldier to try and keep his
19580s	team in this a nice slide headshot kill
19582s	or just skewed and the san francisco
19585s	shock even without support to manage to
19587s	hold on
19588s	wow look at that yeah i mean you had to
19591s	use quite a few resources there
19594s	sam using duplicate that did help keep
19597s	the defense alive for the shock but now
19600s	you are looking at the fact that you've
19601s	got a bomb you've got a well you got two
19603s	bombs
19604s	is that enough you've got bobbing kevs
19606s	to two
19607s	hasn't got a play but doesn't need it
19609s	transcendence actually from skewed
19610s	potentially force not sure what happened
19612s	there by this in a little bit of trouble
19614s	does anti-kebster deflects up though
19616s	parapan finishes up with the clean and
19619s	the san francisco shock with a sleeping
19621s	proper yeah um it's about over the
19624s	gladiators on a good little push here
19626s	three minutes to go as they cross this
19628s	bridge
19629s	oh look at this i love that we're seeing
19631s	this change from violet violet's
19633s	actually going to go ahead and play the
19634s	batiste sam also switching off of the
19636s	echo finding not the right type of value
19640s	though we would have hoped to see from
19642s	those hero picks in shock kind of just
19643s	forced here to stop at the door he
19645s	almost easiest grab
19648s	of his life there but sam just slides
19650s	out of it self-destruct gets launched
19652s	into the stratosphere still manages to
19654s	kill parapan perma pocket onto kebster
19656s	now he's got no nano but he's got the
19658s	blade two kills with one slash finally
19660s	doesn't end his life quick shot but the
19663s	san francisco shock will hold the skewed
19666s	yeah doesn't win that duel versus finn
19669s	the violet
19670s	with the batiste very big brain play
19672s	that lamp saved them a whole heap of
19674s	damage and made sure they could kill
19676s	rhino on the zarya
19678s	well that's the biggest problem and
19680s	that's why you're seeing gladiators
19682s	start to also make some adjustments of
19683s	their own rhinos off the zarya now onto
19685s	the wrecking ball a bit more mobility
19687s	plus you're playing around that bridge
19688s	which means you might get some sweet
19690s	environmental kills
19692s	but
19693s	this is just the strategic minds of both
19695s	of these teams they're making these
19696s	mid-map adjustments to play against the
19699s	meta of the other team and that's
19701s	absolutely big you can see the
19702s	gladiators are constantly trying to
19704s	think about what is going to get them
19705s	one step further towards their goal of
19707s	going to the finals here shock just
19709s	trying to get back in this one
19711s	is flirting with the idea of just
19713s	blinking onto the back line
19716s	parapan use the overclock spotted kaluge
19718s	but he's eating most of those rails
19720s	perfect use the matrix he's just looking
19722s	at him permanently robert does
19724s	a miracle stick how does he get those
19727s	lobster in kill skew kevster ends up
19729s	going down and proper is still
19731s	destroying at the back line of the
19733s	gladiators it's a tough ask to push onto
19736s	this uh this second point especially
19738s	with how close the spawns are for the
19740s	defense the shocker holding firm for now
19742s	but glad they got a minute to play with
19746s	60 seconds yeah i mean i think that's
19748s	why gladiators are really hoping that
19750s	they might be able to get something else
19751s	done here with the patapan sombra switch
19755s	jaws it worked out for them last time on
19757s	the very first map of this series
19759s	is this
19760s	last second pick going to work here as
19762s	well may not be enough time to actually
19764s	get an emp up but the manual hack to be
19766s	able to remove something like the
19767s	defense matrix from the shock could
19770s	prove huge to busting open these castle
19772s	doors
19773s	i've got a problem on their hands though
19775s	rose double support ultimate for the
19777s	shock like
19778s	okay paddy is just uh scouting knows
19781s	where violet is can go for the hack if
19782s	they can tell the dive everybody's super
19784s	far away does get a hack from college
19786s	but it's more of an interim now so the
19787s	matrix comes back online rather quickly
19789s	sam's already killed kevster there's 15
19791s	seconds to go as the gladiators are
19792s	getting actually wrecked by sam there's
19796s	a nano on the sojourn he's got the
19798s	overclock and the shock well they're
19801s	still sitting on two ops the guardians
19803s	need to be able to touch but i don't
19805s	think they're going to get there well i
19806s	guess parapan is but he's quickly put to
19809s	sleep by violets the payload is going to
19811s	end here unless kev sir can get back to
19814s	the point in time but looking quite
19815s	unlikely the san francisco shock
19818s	backline looking like a gordian knot
19819s	right now
19821s	unbreakable
19823s	the payload just before that second
19824s	point rose it's so tough you're saying
19827s	to support ultimates you're golden
19829s	oh yeah that was i mean finn just used
19832s	the transcendence they're celebratory
19835s	i didn't even need it for the rest of
19836s	that last fight
19838s	it was great to have as an insurance
19840s	policy though especially with the paddy
19842s	switch over to the sombra maybe you get
19844s	the hack maybe you force out the
19845s	transcendence but there wasn't really
19847s	anything else the gladiators could have
19848s	followed up with that either and
19851s	unfortunately while we did see those
19852s	swaps come through
19854s	felt late
19856s	felt late
19858s	yeah shock definitely have a
19860s	they know where the goal post is here to
19863s	get another map win under their belt on
19865s	eichenwalde and this sombra didn't end
19867s	up really working out for paddy and then
19870s	you look at the other side
19872s	sam has
19873s	12 out of the 24 kills for the shock
19875s	right now like the final boys it's
19878s	pretty remarkable like patapan's just
19879s	not having that same kind of impact
19883s	enough to see how they do on their
19885s	defense they're gonna roll out with
19886s	reiner again on the zarya
19890s	i think this arya is still a smart
19892s	choice i think gladiators will find out
19894s	though that as shock start to move some
19897s	of those other pieces around like maybe
19899s	sam gets off of the echo as we see them
19902s	progress into the second point and then
19904s	violet also decides to switch back over
19906s	to something like that baptiste
19909s	it will become a little bit more
19910s	difficult i think for something like the
19912s	zarya to work however there's no diva
19915s	this time around it's a last-second
19916s	switch from college will bring us to
19919s	winston to kick off this attack push for
19921s	them as sam are you supposed to take a
19923s	decent chunk of damage here tussling
19925s	with kester over there on the left
19929s	those bubbles are so valuable oh you
19931s	can't bubble that you can't bubble a big
19933s	right click from finn that's uh rather
19935s	unfortunate
19937s	again not quite having the same impact
19939s	right now as sam good auntie a swift
19942s	kick from finn sends kevs to flying and
19945s	even a little bit of defensive sticky
19946s	bombs reiner does end up finishing the
19948s	kill but we kept sitting down and
19949s	patapan coming only just coming back
19952s	from the spawn the san francisco shock
19953s	they swarmed the point proper is also
19955s	pretty low but with violet and finn in a
19958s	very defensible position they're good to
19960s	take two ticks
19961s	the gladiators are able to contest now
19963s	but have no alts to really spare luckily
19966s	shoe with all the damage that his team's
19968s	been taking he's gonna have that nano
19970s	online pretty soon
19972s	yeah that nano will definitely be
19973s	helpful i mean you can see how much
19975s	pressure shock has been putting on to
19977s	this back line as well whether it's been
19979s	sending proper after those two supports
19982s	or it's just been the pressure of the
19984s	discord orb
19986s	yeah you gotta take some cover
19989s	oh
19990s	no recall maybe
19992s	pulse bomb he's got shoe in his sights
19994s	skewed is right around the corner
19995s	there's the stick there's the double
19997s	kill for proper that'll open this wide
20000s	open however people are still alive on
20001s	the gladiator side but not for long
20004s	skewed trying to get as much as he
20006s	possibly could done but it wasn't quite
20008s	enough
20008s	the shock they unlocked the payload a
20010s	respectable amount of time four minutes
20012s	and 40 seconds
20015s	so much and they just have to get to the
20017s	castle doors somehow kepster also goes
20020s	down
20021s	where was that on the map i think that
20023s	was over by somewhere
20025s	yeah the castle i think i think hamster
20027s	was trying to back up and then proper
20028s	was like i don't think so so just a
20031s	little bit of a stagger it does stop the
20033s	gladiators a little bit from being set
20035s	up here i mean look at just how much
20037s	harassment proper has been getting into
20040s	the backline of the gladiators in fact
20041s	the rotation that they're taking just so
20044s	that it's a little more difficult for
20046s	the shock to reach them on the high
20047s	ground as
20049s	how much respect they are paying to not
20051s	only this aerial unit of sam's echo but
20054s	also just
20056s	the ground troops of collusion property
20058s	nice dive nano boost on to sam the
20061s	transcendence to keep the back line the
20063s	glad to live but kept is already dead
20065s	violet also bites the dust but sam
20067s	transforming into thiana he got two
20068s	healers back now sam with two kills can
20071s	he make it another he's gonna get a free
20072s	nano basically off of all this healing
20074s	there you go reiner ends up ending his
20076s	own life unfortunately with a right
20078s	click into that bubble in the san
20079s	francisco shock looking up mighty large
20081s	coming into this last corner
20084s	yeah you can see that reiner now
20086s	swapping over to the doomfist it's a
20088s	little bit do or die here for the
20089s	gladiators because shock they've got
20092s	snowball tools and there's really one
20095s	more fight here that the shark will need
20096s	to take in order to win and that it's a
20098s	pulse bomb pedophile going down i
20100s	thought that sleep was going to run out
20101s	and i think the gladiators thought that
20103s	as well the san francisco shock again
20105s	off to a good start taking away parapans
20108s	gonna put a hindrance in the gladiator
20111s	uh what do you have overclocked pulse
20113s	bob nano boost coming out for glass they
20114s	just need to survive for these holes
20116s	get online the transcendence from finn's
20119s	gonna be good kevster jumps in with a
20120s	possible with the back line but ends up
20121s	going or missing
20123s	rhino falls in the san francisco shock
20125s	are just picking off the glads one by
20126s	one before they can get alt up the nano
20128s	comes out but kepster can't get the
20130s	damage done the focus fire is too good
20132s	and the helix even better from the san
20134s	francisco shock even without violence
20137s	you still have finn alive and well on
20139s	the point two meters to go for the shock
20141s	and thin ending kevster's life it's only
20143s	up to palapan now shu does end up coming
20146s	back but it is a very slow hovering zen
20149s	to get there but it ain't gonna happen
20151s	shock take i can valder and tie the
20153s	series up
20155s	that was very convincing too look at how
20157s	convincing the gladiators went on ilios
20160s	was and now we've got the flip of that
20162s	with shock with a convincing victory
20165s	over the gladiators and iconvalda
20167s	jaws does this mean that as we go into
20170s	these next maps when these teams get to
20173s	pick for loser pick they're just gonna
20175s	keep picking these maps that they can
20177s	dominate the other teams with and have
20179s	it work we might get five maps this way
20182s	it's looking like it that was complete
20184s	opposite what happened on control glad
20186s	that 2-0 san francisco shock on their
20189s	map pick remaining i can vault king
20192s	maybe not sure right it's gladiator's
20195s	turn to pick this time around
20197s	perhaps going back so fast it might be a
20199s	five-mapper rose but
20201s	it might be a quick one if this keeps
20202s	happening we'll see where they want to
20204s	go after this break don't go anywhere
20214s	[Music]

20352s	[Music]
20431s	whoever said lightning doesn't strike
20433s	twice has never met the san francisco
20439s	some of the most hardcore carry
20441s	performances that i've ever seen just a
20443s	depth of talent on their roster that
20445s	can't be denied i mean what more can you
20447s	ask in the shop this is going to be a
20449s	wild ride
20450s	[Music]
20452s	pilot is cracked he's out of his mind
20454s	i say that justice okay
20457s	at least with everything right now jesus
20459s	christ
20461s	sam deadlifting right now actually
20465s	10 years of doing so much cleans it up
20467s	right
20468s	san francisco has cemented themselves as
20470s	the greatest team in overwatch
20478s	welcome back after that small break
20481s	let's play a game let's play a game real
20484s	quick okay who was in
20486s	auntie's face where are we going
20490s	oh oh oh it should be an easy one go on
20492s	i think i know this one go on
20494s	dorado oh okay
20497s	close it is a push map it's circle right
20500s	um it's a push man
20501s	i'm in an escort map um yeah look
20505s	when we see space when we see ants we're
20507s	going to circuit royale um the
20509s	gladiators roster rose is something
20511s	we've uh both spoken about a lot before
20513s	but like
20514s	how much depth they have they have
20516s	actually when they when they play lucio
20518s	they have skewed and shoe and they want
20519s	to play like the zen and the honor space
20521s	comes in when they need the sigma play
20524s	ash um or widowmaker can be played by
20526s	arms kevster
20528s	plays everything um and that's one of
20529s	the big strengths about the glad is just
20532s	how deep their roster goes
20534s	yeah that's absolutely true and i think
20536s	we talk about this a lot for the los
20538s	angeles gladiators is that they get a
20541s	chance to show us so many different
20543s	looks i mean the fact that you can go to
20546s	circuit royal and bring in your experts
20549s	at the widowmaker and the sigma to give
20552s	yourself the best chance possible speaks
20554s	volumes to just the flexibility of the
20556s	roster but not only that just the mid
20559s	map adaptations that we've been seeing
20561s	as well when it comes to
20563s	the
20564s	the zarya to the doomfist or the
20566s	wrecking ball that we saw on just iken
20568s	valda alone from reiner
20571s	yeah this this raster has an incredibly
20573s	deep hero pool in its pocket and i love
20576s	that we get a chance to see this
20578s	every single time we see them play
20582s	that is very true and look the shot came
20584s	off a an extremely dominant icon bulb
20588s	and we talked about sam a little bit in
20590s	there saying how many final blows he had
20592s	but probably stats also just
20595s	sky-high on his tracer 15 final blows
20598s	four pulse bomb kills only two deaths
20601s	which that's
20603s	so gross
20604s	that's so gross
20606s	this is the level of play that we wanted
20608s	to see from proper coming into this
20610s	match though and i love that we've got
20611s	the statistics to back up the eye test
20614s	of just how impactful this particular
20616s	player has been
20617s	and
20618s	i mean i don't know jaws this robber was
20621s	just such a big reason as to why san
20623s	francisco shock made the shanghai
20625s	dragons look like wet noodles yesterday
20629s	um and and so to see him showing up here
20631s	today pretty big as well has been really
20634s	fun to watch and one of those maps that
20638s	they made dragons little i wear noodles
20640s	on was circuit royale um they just
20642s	didn't stop the payload going it was an
20645s	unbelievable display from the san
20648s	francisco shock but you then you got to
20650s	think well dragons oh sorry
20653s	gladiators they want to go to this map
20655s	so they can play space so they can play
20657s	arms it's on your screen of course is
20660s	the tournament rewards
20662s	uh the money and the points to go
20665s	towards later on in the season pretty
20668s	big i mean if you do win here of course
20670s	this being the uh upper bracket finals
20672s	winner here goes to the grand final so
20674s	it's a minimum of 250k
20677s	which is also nice
20679s	well yeah i mean look at the jump in
20681s	prize money
20683s	for the winner of this match you get to
20685s	go to the mid-season madness finals
20687s	you're guaranteed at least 250 000
20692s	and look at those sweet league points
20694s	jaws those will definitely come into
20695s	play as we get into future stages of the
20698s	overwatch league season as well and so
20700s	both of these teams playing at all the
20702s	stops here to make sure that they can
20703s	get that one step closer obviously the
20706s	loser is not out of it right they get to
20708s	jump down into the lower bracket where
20710s	they get to play
20711s	the winner of atlanta reign versus
20716s	the philadelphia fusion yeah it's and
20719s	that is going to be a hard matchup and
20720s	of itself right one that's gonna be
20722s	tough fusion have been also looking
20724s	extraordinarily good
20727s	and the gladiators of course wanna take
20729s	the dub here so they can have a
20730s	back-to-back finals appearances they
20732s	didn't kick off clash ended up winning
20734s	they want to do exactly the same here
20736s	just click continue their dominant spree
20739s	although it's funny because
20741s	the guardian is being the number two
20742s	seed the shock being number one scene
20743s	shock didn't end up winning kickoff
20744s	clash but they have done so well in the
20747s	regular season still undefeated in the
20749s	regular season mind you
20750s	um
20752s	well eight match wintry we already
20753s	talked about it right all right let's go
20755s	to circuit royale gladiator is on at the
20759s	defense so on space of course on at the
20761s	sigma and the widowmaker
20765s	i've got a little feeling we might see a
20766s	little bit of ash here although i do
20768s	think the widowmaker is just way better
20770s	because the angles and the grapple and
20771s	stuff like that but i wouldn't mind a uh
20774s	ash either what's vin got to play today
20777s	come on finn give us the goods
20783s	[Music]
20793s	[Music]
20804s	now i feel refreshed yeah i feel
20807s	refreshed
20808s	apparently so do the rest of the shock
20811s	um you know before we get into like that
20813s	heavy hitting action of this match jaws
20815s	the question that i have in my mind is
20817s	you're just subbing in kilo and ons are
20820s	they warm and are they ready
20822s	like as the gladiators you are under the
20824s	impression that these two players can
20826s	slot in and take you into the next map
20828s	no problem
20829s	[Music]
20830s	but
20832s	remains to be seen whether or not that
20834s	actually ends up happening
20836s	is widowmaker after all kind of tough
20839s	jump shot it is yeah kilo's aim is just
20842s	phenomenal when i was watching him
20844s	before the season started on uh on
20846s	soldier when they were playing that hey
20848s	i'm just blown away by how clean his
20851s	tracking is a little bit different on
20852s	the widowmaker it's a bit more flick
20855s	orientated with the aim but
20857s	still it's uh he's quite nutty answers
20860s	all the way back
20861s	you can see on the ramp already rose
20864s	they're just getting pushed in they
20865s	really need a pick from odds right now
20867s	he doesn't end up taking a body shot no
20868s	one's healing him right now so he can't
20870s	really take another one before he ends
20872s	up going down
20874s	yeah good kilo as well
20878s	i mean i wouldn't make it like that rose
20880s	is super good because you stopped them
20882s	from really doing much he tacks out
20883s	again but it's through the the small
20885s	little like sign things there's a very
20888s	very small gap where you can hit people
20890s	here the headshot there it looks
20891s	unbelievable early window from the
20894s	gladiators and space doing an unreal
20896s	amount of damage same with colluge lamps
20898s	been used by the shock already both
20900s	blocks is up in the air but immortality
20902s	feels going to save the shocks life for
20903s	the time being and loses the jewel to
20906s	kilo who know and now has a free line of
20909s	sight on the back line of the gladiators
20911s	a swift team kill and the
20914s	the shock used the lamp early and they
20916s	still come out on top which is a miracle
20918s	more often than not
20919s	well i mean that was just a huge opening
20921s	pick there for a kilo as well to be able
20923s	to take out that pressure of ons and
20926s	then that was just like yeah we're
20928s	comfortable more confident we're the
20929s	shock and we're just going to go ahead
20931s	and do shock things but there's still
20933s	some time here for the gladiators to now
20935s	come back and contest on second they
20937s	have used quite a few of their tools
20938s	though look at how much kilo is out
20941s	damaging ons at the moment completely
20944s	outpacing him on the infrasights so
20946s	that's not going to be available right
20947s	away to be able to
20950s	respond to when kilo gets his active
20952s	he's going to pop it right away
20954s	yeah i've had that feeling that ant is a
20956s	little bit further behind
20958s	it's a nice angle up there but yeah the
20960s	problem is the gladiators are not going
20962s	to peak they might do now this kerbster
20964s	has used the overclock propers got one
20966s	to his name and he is hiding behind this
20969s	column but can't quite see proper
20970s	kevster misses
20972s	the last overclock shot kilo takes to
20974s	the skies a body shot on shoes not going
20976s	to result in all too much the guy there
20978s	is playing around this widow's sight
20979s	line perfectly and yeah even space
20981s	checking kilo
20983s	well you have to but that does start to
20986s	leave room available for colluse to
20988s	start going in and getting his own hands
20989s	dirty but space already working up to
20991s	another flux here
20995s	there's the flux two people in the skies
20997s	transcendence popped but kilo ends up
20999s	going down fully charged shot through
21001s	the transcendence kills kilo
21003s	and now the cleanup for the glad you're
21006s	pretty happy with that if you're glad
21007s	you win the fight and you also burn a
21009s	ton of time off from the bank
21011s	yeah you do i mean you're definitely
21014s	really happy about this is the
21015s	gladiators i think you finally get a
21017s	chance to take a breath because of all
21020s	the pressure that shock have put on to
21022s	this matchup and the fact that you get a
21024s	big pick onto proper as well
21027s	i don't even know how that happened
21029s	but kepster really out here trying to
21031s	carve out every opportunity possible and
21033s	gladiators get a chance to be a bit more
21035s	aggressive here as well going back to
21036s	this first defensive corner yeah the
21038s	card's rolling back slowly
21042s	he hit a shot like that like i said
21045s	it's a bit wicked that is for sure
21048s	collusion's not falling okay yeah the
21050s	card's rolling back and normally it's
21051s	not like a significant amount of uh
21054s	space but look at it right now it was on
21056s	the final corner and now it's all the
21058s	way back uh the clouds need to be able
21059s	to touch but obviously impossible with
21061s	this boy oh sorry shot need to touch but
21063s	almost impossible at this point just
21065s	rolling back down a lot of time though
21069s	they're like two minutes so that's still
21071s	a lot of time for the shock to come back
21073s	in and do something with and you're at
21075s	this point as the shock trying to make
21076s	sure that you get the
21078s	economy out of the gladiators get this
21080s	get this transcendence get this ant
21082s	matrix perfect lamp transcendence comes
21084s	out with both dps and the shock already
21086s	dead kilo tries for a grapple shot into
21088s	the back line but doesn't really find
21090s	all of anything the rest of his team are
21091s	doing the heavy lift
21093s	i said shot onto shoe
21094s	they get a lot of uh card progression
21096s	here but it's cart progression that they
21098s	already made but the stagger kill onto
21100s	skewed's gonna be good
21102s	should be out to cab
21105s	maybe space can juggle this shoes behind
21108s	him so he can give him the ore but
21109s	that's about it so it looks like
21111s	gladiators are just gonna let
21113s	them and they're going to take a more
21115s	advantageous
21117s	spot on the high ground here
21119s	well it'd be so bad if the gladiators
21121s	aren't all together there and they lose
21122s	somebody going into that recontest but
21125s	then shock just snowball all the way to
21128s	the end of third point especially when
21130s	they've got ultimates to spare as well
21132s	that would just be absolutely disastrous
21134s	and what an int on their part but
21136s	gladiators get to hold on to these tools
21138s	for the defense on third you can't see
21140s	the flux that space is going to be
21142s	getting ready to use finn doesn't have
21144s	the transcendence quite yet to use that
21146s	as an insurance policy if the
21148s	immortality field isn't enough but at
21150s	this point i don't know if space can
21151s	even use it here kept us down
21154s	for the shock lamp four shot yep there
21156s	you go
21157s	flux doesn't really get anything
21159s	the entirety of the shock around the
21160s	corner overclock coming out through the
21163s	window insta kill on shoe and now ours
21166s	in a little bit of trouble i don't think
21167s	you win these but maybe you do his aim
21169s	is cracked but
21171s	is better the san francisco shock they
21173s	got transcendence they got the flux
21175s	kevster has popped the overclock but
21177s	needs to come up massive he misses one
21180s	shot look into the back line kilo's
21182s	there but finally takes him out with the
21183s	help for proper a minute and 40 seconds
21185s	to go the flux to send space's health
21188s	bar down and out of the mech goodbye
21192s	gladiators the shock have capped one
21195s	minute and 37 seconds in the time bank
21199s	and they're looking all so good spaces
21201s	flux didn't really get anything on that
21203s	second the last corner there rose or in
21204s	the last corner sorry no it didn't it
21207s	was just because of some really nicely
21210s	timed immortality fields from violet you
21212s	don't really have a whole lot of
21214s	pressure from the rest of the
21215s	composition of the gladiators to force
21217s	out those immortality fields early or
21219s	even the transcendence early and despite
21221s	the fact that finn didn't have the
21222s	transcendence it's always nice to have
21225s	just in case but yeah that what just
21228s	clinical play coming through from the
21229s	shock there to be able to deal with each
21231s	and every ultimate that gladiators was
21233s	throwing at them
21234s	and this was the map that they toppled
21237s	the dragons on the last map for the
21239s	series and
21240s	it was a it was a cake walk for them
21243s	all right we'll see how they do on their
21245s	defense
21249s	that they're not lucio i mean
21251s	yeah i don't think he's rolling out um
21254s	that would be that would be too
21255s	ridiculous yeah i was like no way
21258s	[Laughter]
21262s	he goes back to zen
21264s	all right we'll see how glad end up
21265s	doing because the kilo versus unstall
21268s	aren't looking a little bit cold right
21270s	now
21272s	just jumping into the server not having
21274s	as much impact but to be fair kilo's not
21276s	finding crazy picks it's more been on
21279s	proper and collusion collusion's
21281s	positioning over space that's uh winning
21283s	out a lot of these a lot of these fights
21286s	yeah yeah but you have to also pay
21288s	attention that we just saw one push
21290s	where the widowmaker on the attacking
21292s	side does seem slightly favored on most
21295s	of the places where you would want to
21296s	take these fights
21298s	and so it can be tough as the sigma to
21300s	make sure that you're covering for all
21301s	of your angles so i'd like to see if the
21303s	gladiators can start to use some of
21305s	those attack angles to their own
21307s	advantage moving into their second round
21310s	here
21311s	san francisco shock though i mean look
21313s	at how far forward they're playing we
21315s	don't usually see teams contest on that
21318s	very first corner of the shop it's
21319s	usually the second quarter where we see
21323s	me property kill onto on someone who's
21325s	going for that flank but all right no
21327s	widowmakers at all
21329s	no more long range duels space takes
21331s	care of it kevs is in a really nice spot
21333s	but he's got to be careful yeah someone
21334s	could be creeping behind him it is
21336s	proper taking the 1v1 you're not going
21337s	to win with the destructor shot down at
21339s	your feet and now proper has asserted
21342s	his dominance on at the high ground
21343s	taking a fair bit of damage with a
21345s	discord orb on top of him way too
21347s	aggressive as odds come back from the
21349s	spore takes care of it i think you're
21352s	okay with that though shock already had
21354s	the numbers and at this point you're
21356s	expecting that kepster will take a
21357s	little while to respawn as well
21359s	um kester is back though
21363s	but we'll see that kilo is still still
21366s	dinking heads
21369s	yeah this is such a strong position too
21371s	kev starts to be super careful windows
21373s	are gonna get used actually forces the
21375s	lamp super early a very late window from
21378s	the san francisco shock but luckily
21380s	collusion shield repaired just in time
21383s	for it to be used and uh yeah the san
21386s	francisco shock they almost i wouldn't
21388s	say bait glads if the clouds forced
21390s	around that corner proper peeks his head
21392s	out disrupted field a couple of shots
21394s	they were good
21396s	what was all about the fact that
21397s	gladiators used that amplification
21399s	matrix and i think they were hoping that
21401s	would buy them a bit more space than it
21402s	did you saw the disrupter shot really
21404s	play san francisco shock just a little
21406s	bit far backwards but kind of kited them
21408s	away from the damage you would have
21410s	wanted to be able to get onto them with
21411s	the amp matrix active and so they get to
21414s	fire back with their own and now san
21415s	francisco shock are just continuing to
21417s	methodically move through these
21419s	ultimates that they have
21420s	double flux though fluxy flux
21422s	transcendence available from finn but
21424s	they're going to use that lamp instead
21427s	all right
21428s	now how does kalooz approach this it
21430s	looks like a small one be what's
21432s	happening between kepster and proper
21433s	right now but with the sights
21435s	kilo is providing a lot of pressure on
21437s	this high ground body shot on to kevster
21440s	gets healed straight up and now a
21442s	transcendence this time to stop kevs to
21444s	doing a whole bunch of damage from the
21447s	side
21447s	proper once again just peeping out of
21450s	nowhere is a triple kill right now can
21452s	he get four gonna get five of course he
21454s	can proper with five kills
21459s	was built for proper that is who they
21462s	modeled it after i think so i i love the
21466s	little like cheeky smile from proper
21469s	just like acknowledging that he did a
21470s	good job in that fight have brought the
21473s	gladiators to sub one minute to be able
21475s	to try to capture this first point and
21478s	they are at a stalemate jaws
21481s	gladiators don't have a whole lot to
21482s	work with either they're gonna have to
21483s	use this transcendence aggressively they
21485s	don't need to counter a flux here so at
21487s	least they get to go in with that
21490s	all right now
21491s	advantage for the gladiators and spots
21494s	kilo in the distance wants him to peak
21496s	takes a shot of the support line hoping
21498s	kilo is going to use that as a a bit of
21500s	an entry
21501s	pilot i'm just going down through the
21503s	window body shot yeah it does a lot of
21504s	damage to kills 200 hp targets so
21507s	there's no hope for you unfortunately
21509s	finn does kill skewed somehow but the
21510s	gladiators do end up capping
21514s	wait but colluge killed himself
21516s	yeah hypersphere's on the ground i
21518s	suppose
21519s	yeah
21521s	that's unfortunate but i i think that
21523s	regardless of how that happened
21525s	gladiators would have been able to cap
21527s	that first point anyway
21529s	but it's all about getting towards this
21531s	third point and they're starting to run
21533s	out of time to do so
21535s	skewed is actually going to switch over
21536s	to the brigitta just provide a bit more
21538s	point presence here i think that
21540s	baptiste is great but
21542s	the brigitta rally and just being able
21544s	to fight these close quarters towards
21545s	this they're going to prepare you a
21547s	little bit better christ
21549s	that's a good shot
21551s	guns are such a nice position now now
21553s	the enemy will awaken it doesn't have to
21555s	be taken care of there's a flux from
21557s	kalu survive this and the glads are good
21559s	no skewed crumples into a little bit of
21561s	paper
21562s	the san francisco shock do have a nice
21564s	spawn advantage and space being super
21567s	low with only shoe to heal above the san
21569s	francisco shock and now layering on that
21570s	pressure that's trying to turn this
21572s	around with a flux but the lap comes out
21574s	just in time the shock is still good
21576s	hiding in this small corner making a
21578s	two-pronged attack with that window you
21580s	look proper way or would you look
21581s	violet's way unfortunately you're
21583s	looking to spawn right now we feel the
21584s	glass kilo dies once again but it
21586s	doesn't matter profit is still alive and
21588s	doing some work
21592s	gosh stopping the cart right here too
21594s	it's the same predicament that shock
21596s	found themselves in on the flip side
21599s	gladiators still again starting to run
21602s	out of time one minute remaining here
21604s	for their attack push and oz is down
21607s	again
21608s	so that is another person that
21610s	gladiators have to wait for to respond
21612s	before they can even try to approach
21614s	this card yeah i mean first that just
21616s	means his last fight um for the glass i
21619s	mean at least they got transcendence
21621s	online they're gonna have sights
21622s	maybe they get rally probably not um 45
21625s	percent depending on how quickly go down
21627s	and now kevster gets picked the shock
21630s	i just hold to the gladiators not with
21632s	team-wide just with individual picks
21634s	burning that bank uh time bank down
21637s	close to zero is probably gonna go for
21638s	something cheeky he was trying
21641s	i wouldn't test dance
21652s	well space is now already dead okay san
21654s	francisco shock now to deal with kevster
21657s	jumps in the air takes care of two both
21659s	dps now dead for the shock he's trying
21661s	to get a couple of collapse while
21662s	putting himself on the payload there are
21664s	10 seconds to go with glad still having
21666s	a transcendence in their back pocket he
21668s	has to use it for collusion flux but
21669s	actually they can use it early to try
21671s	and keep themselves as the engagement no
21672s	damage now for the glass they've only
21674s	got two supports left sku gets instantly
21676s	taken care of by kilo who jumps back
21678s	around that corner and the san francisco
21680s	shock are now a match point
21684s	no
21684s	actual way this is the gladiator
21688s	choice jaws they brought in their
21690s	specialists ons in space hoping that
21693s	this would be a map win for them but
21695s	they are back to the drawing board
21698s	yeah shocker at match points and off the
21700s	back of some insane picks coming through
21703s	from proper in kilo to continue to start
21706s	off each of these fights
21710s	prop is on 21
21712s	of 40 final blows per
21715s	shot that map i mean we saw sam do it a
21718s	little bit earlier on and now we're
21720s	seeing proper doing it
21721s	what more can you ask for from the dps
21724s	line of the san francisco shock they're
21725s	looking at world class right now and
21727s	they're sitting on match point one more
21729s	and then we'll be heading to the finals
21731s	we'll see after this break

21980s	feels pretty darn good to be back here
21982s	in a land setting it's been quite some
21984s	time the overwatch league's most
21986s	decorated franchise here in a new era
21989s	the pulse under mag another from proper
21992s	spark on against you better sparkle
21994s	found an opening there's one there's two
21996s	that's the sparkle i want to see in this
21998s	series those stats
22000s	getting padded by sparkle sparkle with
22003s	two and another one it's gonna be a heck
22005s	of a weekend i'll tell you right now you
22007s	get kai set up it is gonna be just like
22009s	that the rest of the game
22010s	back on their side of the map that's a
22012s	stink oh checkmate
22015s	a widow player potentially without equal
22017s	that is some filthy stuff where did that
22020s	come from a triple death blossom but
22022s	pelican comes out of nowhere that's two
22025s	with the storm arrows millimeters away
22027s	from victory
22029s	check my dragons just continue to play
22031s	right out in front of the spot there's
22032s	the blade beat can be used nice pin long
22035s	pin two now into the back there managing
22038s	to fight two basically the equivalent of
22039s	three people he nearly had all the kills
22042s	seoul dynasty have not defeated the
22043s	shanghai dragon since the 2020 playoffs
22045s	i think these are the top two teams in
22047s	an apac mf3 goes absolutely monstrous
22050s	they take down the dragons i swing the
22053s	best widowmaker in all of apac no he
22056s	fell onto it chester who has been
22058s	frightening ever since he joined this
22060s	team smurf knows what it feels like to
22062s	win everything hungry to experience that
22065s	feeling once more
22067s	[Music]
22069s	anderson is locked in ready to go and
22072s	assume with a 5k
22074s	that's what you want to see they might
22076s	just pull the trigger here they do but
22077s	unreal wall from
22080s	now the stakes get ratcheted up
22082s	unnotched it is two all dikes pops the
22085s	recall he's looking for the target that
22086s	comes in he's gonna fight for him
22088s	probably the mean time found two with
22089s	the pulse bomb
22090s	han bin is the best sire in the world
22093s	right now
22101s	and after so very long the dynasty will
22104s	be able to best the dragons playoffs
22106s	profit has certainly arrived the script
22108s	riders they're not messing around today
22110s	you step up to the plate son with a
22112s	victorious war the gladiators are just
22115s	tearing them apart seoul dynasty will
22117s	dominate their way and secure the
22119s	kickoff clash title
22128s	god
22129s	man
22130s	overwatch is
22132s	i'm not gonna say i swear but it is a
22134s	beautiful game when you have clips like
22137s	that it honestly just showcases the very
22140s	best in the world and that's of course
22142s	right now
22143s	what they're fighting for that trophy
22145s	the mid-season madness
22148s	i think it's their total mayhem logo uh
22150s	from junkrat i think it's
22151s	very hard
22152s	it's very sick it looks really nice um
22155s	look
22157s	the shock of one map away
22158s	from make it to the grand finals rose
22161s	when when you lifted that kickoff clash
22163s	performance they did not step up at all
22166s	and it was a shock i think to a lot haha
22169s	it was a shock it was a shock i think to
22171s	a lot of people and the gladiators ended
22174s	up winning the entire thing and now
22176s	shock they're not in front of a live
22178s	crowd or anything right now but you're
22179s	still in an environment when you can see
22181s	your opposition there you go proper
22183s	waving waving at paddy over there
22186s	and
22186s	they're in the driving seat a
22189s	quite convincing circuit royale and
22191s	there's a whole host of uh swaps going
22194s	on but we'll talk to the uh in a minute
22196s	if the gladiators lose here they jump
22198s	down to the lower bracket where they
22200s	either face rain or the fusion who will
22202s	play a little bit later on
22204s	yeah and that doesn't sound like a fun
22206s	opponent to have to go up against either
22208s	when you look at both of those options
22210s	that would be waiting down there for you
22212s	but you know i want to talk about the
22214s	fact that gladiators were predicted
22217s	across the board to win this match from
22220s	majority of pickums from our desk
22224s	um but
22225s	he's holding off on this
22227s	talking about it now i think the shock
22230s	uh not only poised to take the series
22232s	home for this next map but
22234s	after the performance that they've given
22236s	us the past few days i don't think
22238s	there's
22238s	a lot of doubters or a lot of doubt you
22240s	should have for this team moving forward
22243s	i mean proper
22245s	having yet another match of his life sam
22249s	had an incredible performance in
22251s	eichenwalde before getting switched out
22253s	for kilo on circuit royale he will be
22256s	coming back in to the match but
22259s	yeah i mean what the heck
22261s	well we looked at preppers we've been
22262s	checking in on proper stats every every
22264s	map like we looked at them after i
22266s	convulded we're looking at them after
22267s	circuit royale i think they just got
22269s	better
22271s	i i actually think they got better yeah
22273s	it's uh it's weirder that happens
22275s	sometimes proper just kills people and
22277s	there you go you can tell final blows 22
22280s	out of the 28 limbs
22282s	looking unreal we're going to colocio
22284s	rose
22286s	and
22286s	this was
22288s	glads map pick
22290s	and what's funny about um what's funny
22292s	about push with the san francisco shock
22294s	they've only actually long lost one push
22296s	map out of the 10 that they've played
22300s	and the funny thing is uh it is coliseum
22302s	that they did lose so i mean picking
22305s	picking the highest percentage fly there
22306s	if you're the gladiators
22309s	def reiner back in powder pan swapping
22311s	out for arms and
22312s	yep
22313s	yeah i mean at the end of the day you're
22315s	going to swap out space you don't really
22317s	want to play the the sigma here odds
22319s	widowmaker ash et cetera but you want
22321s	padapan back in so kevs could play
22322s	tracer and padapan could play the
22324s	soldier so that makes a whole bunch of
22326s	sense here
22328s	yeah and especially the lucio as well to
22330s	help you zoom around the map it's
22331s	overseeing funny astro as well in for
22333s	skewed
22334s	uh as we saw funny astra on ilios and
22336s	that was a win that was a win for the
22338s	gladiators on elios 2-0 over the shock
22340s	in a very convincing manner and so the
22342s	fact that we're starting things back out
22344s	for the gladiators with their starting
22345s	lineup on coliseum does speak to me
22348s	they're gonna try to hit fast hit hard
22350s	the lucio the doomfist all of the works
22353s	but san francisco shock really finally
22356s	started to find their groove with the
22357s	winston composition and so we will start
22360s	to see them go back to that for a little
22362s	bit here with the sojourn in the tracer
22365s	so sam proper having great games today
22369s	but can the gladiators keep with the
22371s	team's synergy will that be able to take
22373s	them over the top and tie up this series
22376s	that's what we're looking at here for
22377s	coliseum
22380s	slow approach for the shock right now i
22382s	guess they were making sure that glad
22383s	didn't go for this big flank
22385s	they're glad to sniff that out they were
22387s	like okay we'll just go to maine
22390s	just take a little bit of a better
22391s	position than the shot you can see the
22393s	kind of huddling around this miniature
22394s	health back room like he takes a big
22396s	ante and actually has to back off proper
22399s	and a jewel versus kevster good speed
22401s	boost from astro but i mean he kind of
22404s	just boosted away and mikey got punched
22406s	into the back line and then sam sniped
22408s	padapan it was too much damage it was a
22410s	nice idea for a funny astro there but
22412s	punching mikey back into the rest of the
22414s	team and not great guys you have the
22416s	smallest lead in the world but it should
22418s	be the cleanup for the shot not crazy
22420s	amount of staggers though
22422s	i listen
22424s	no rhino stay alive please no no
22428s	double blink straight inside yeah there
22429s	you go okay that was a that's fairly
22431s	large and the bot has been booming this
22433s	whole time
22434s	yeah finn just on perma bot duty right
22437s	now just to be able to keep that thing
22439s	rolling and i mean you just want to get
22441s	to the checkpoint
22442s	if you could get to the checkpoint i
22443s	think you're pretty you're feeling
22445s	pretty good about the lead that you have
22447s	but man proper
22449s	going after patty again yeah
22452s	no not going to happen nano boost for
22454s	mikey as he jumps the back line super
22456s	early old from the san francisco shock
22459s	just showing you how much damage they
22461s	did in that first fight how much healing
22464s	oh my god the shock actually might hit
22466s	checkpoint
22467s	before the guys can get out of sport and
22469s	proper triple blinks into the spawning
22470s	kills round of the pulse all righty okay
22473s	it shocks game
22474s	it shocks season
22476s	i think so i i really think so i mean
22479s	they started to look really good i think
22480s	people had some questions about this
22482s	rookie roster but that bot reaches the
22484s	checkpoint before anybody from the
22486s	gladiators can stop it and they're just
22489s	gonna get folded over like dominoes here
22491s	right now trying to disrupt sam but he's
22493s	already killed two the body's being
22494s	contested but the gladiators have found
22497s	themselves back in spawn again a rather
22499s	familiar place to be for them currently
22502s	the show just piling on the pressure
22504s	they did end up losing fin so they've
22505s	got a lot of healing but they still gain
22507s	a lot of free bar push right now his
22509s	guys have to come back from the spawn
22511s	then you're going to keep the momentum
22512s	going i mean why not a huge beat from
22515s	the shock finn wasn't even back in the
22517s	mix
22518s	but the shock was just pushing on
22520s	forward the gladiators have a whole
22522s	wealth of ultimates but astro doesn't
22524s	have his beat anymore not sure where
22526s	that went but the glads they got four
22528s	oats let's have a look at the the small
22530s	replay
22532s	proper comes in gets the b astro 50 hp
22535s	gets it canceled by proper
22538s	oh there's such a feels bad this such a
22541s	feels bad you would love to have that
22543s	ultimate online to be able to deal with
22544s	anything coming out from the shock here
22546s	even if it's just to make sure that
22548s	you've got sustained going into the next
22550s	fight which they desperately need
22552s	dude prophet's just a freak of nature
22555s	man he is just so good on the tracer
22558s	there is the ultimate from palapan on
22559s	the side but a nice little poop from
22561s	violet to keep paddy away from the rest
22563s	of the team the shock aren't moving the
22565s	ball right now but they've made
22566s	significant progress on this map already
22569s	106 meters as the gladiators finally
22572s	regained control of the bot but it has
22575s	been a shock game for the last four
22577s	minutes
22579s	i looked like it might have been a
22580s	shutout there based on the pace that the
22582s	shock we're going with for those last
22584s	few fights as well just really not
22586s	giving the gladiators a chance to
22588s	breathe but finally looks like
22590s	gladiators can start kicking off some of
22592s	these fights themselves with a few alts
22594s	of their own
22595s	nice nadia is now trying to set their
22597s	own tempo that was a a good media strike
22600s	there by reiner they do end up killing
22603s	shu with the help of that nano on to
22604s	mikey but
22606s	shouldn't matter all too much and get
22607s	astro to
22608s	taxi back but get in the back pushing
22611s	the the block there that's what you need
22613s	oh look at that actually probably trying
22615s	to spawn camp spots astro okay nose he
22618s	can't hustle with it i mean ideally if
22620s	you kill shoe there uh you lose two
22622s	fights or a fight and a half because the
22624s	bot moves so fast back to the yeah
22627s	but but i mean look at this too you just
22629s	you just set the gladiators up again and
22631s	knock them down sam's going to take that
22633s	a trade any day of the week
22635s	okay gladiators need to do summon but
22637s	the slept no
22638s	the disrupter shot woke reiner up
22642s	he takes care of finn and sam there's
22644s	still a primal rage in mikey happening
22645s	uh
22646s	in the background he does end up killing
22648s	parapan and
22649s	astro and reiner uh mikey's still in
22652s	this by the way glad they were trying to
22654s	get control of the pot there and push it
22656s	onto the barricade and it felt like
22658s	clouds thought they won that but mikey
22660s	comes up with three from the primal
22662s	yeah well the thing about shock too is
22664s	like they're they're just kind of
22666s	individually player
22668s	hero
22670s	carrying right now
22672s	just watch how much value each of them
22673s	you gets when they use any of their odds
22676s	oh my god oh here's the 180 okay is
22679s	going to fill that tomorrow
22680s	beat for the glads only hits two padapan
22683s	and rhino don't receive that at all
22685s	proper gets headshot by parapan keeps
22687s	him in the fight and stops that pulse
22689s	bomb from going off astro doing his best
22692s	to escort you around the map stopping
22695s	him from getting jumped on and instantly
22697s	killed the gladiators do win that fight
22700s	regardless of the two-man beat the shock
22702s	still trying to set that tempo but
22704s	they're burning a lot of time off the
22705s	bank the gladiators have not gained any
22707s	meterage and finally now they're uh
22710s	getting a little sample of that but the
22712s	shock are going to come back so far so
22714s	violet on that lucio
22715s	yeah we spent over two minutes in the
22717s	neutral
22719s	that that's a lot of time i mean the
22721s	fact that we're sub four minutes now san
22723s	francisco shark coming back with alts
22726s	sam through the windows can't quite find
22728s	much and now ryan is in a whole heap of
22730s	trouble got the meteor strike but he's
22732s	one hp when he comes back down he's
22733s	gonna have to retreat to the rest of his
22735s	team go straight to the mega health pack
22737s	it's good enough for the time being but
22738s	now has to follow up on mikey an unreal
22741s	sleep from shoe he's actually got a nano
22743s	of his own kevster gets a double pull
22744s	spot from somewhere so much is happening
22747s	right now but the glads are in control
22749s	and that's what counts 50 meters and
22751s	counting now
22753s	look at this as well i think gladiators
22755s	have finally found their footing but i
22757s	want to take a look at this double pulse
22759s	from kepster you got to stick on sam and
22762s	it looks like
22763s	oh
22766s	that's unfortunate many of those uh
22769s	ouch
22771s	not mid-slide though when he got stuck
22773s	but we'll let it slow will it slide will
22775s	it slide uh going back to the neutral
22778s	now san francisco shock have a little
22779s	bit of control but looking for more
22781s	territory and kepster's also trying to
22784s	get after the back line
22785s	yeah the pace still
22787s	a little bit unbelievable
22789s	from both teams right now miley gets
22791s	stunned by rhino pushed into that wall
22793s	nano does so much if you stun someone
22796s	and you're nano's
22797s	you you it almost insta kill uh a
22800s	squishy target mikey in a whole lot of
22802s	trouble gets antiqued had the primal so
22804s	he was good for the time and now the
22805s	gladiator is trying to gain some
22807s	meterage good kill on to finn who's way
22809s	too far up without the help of violet
22811s	and now ryan's in a little bit of
22812s	trouble scurries back to the rest of his
22814s	support and they're trying trying so
22817s	hard to get this checkpoint they
22818s	eventually do it as they kill off
22820s	properly
22821s	this is huge though i mean gladiators
22823s	have made up for so much loss meterage
22826s	here they are almost going to be able to
22829s	live up to what the shock have already
22830s	accomplished on the other side of the
22832s	map and they still have ultimates to
22834s	rotate through in order to match that
22835s	progress kept up this bat
22837s	[Music]
22839s	nice beat from the gladiators they know
22840s	they got to win the fight here with a
22842s	minute and 50 seconds to go shu puts his
22844s	name on the ball killing two of the
22846s	shock now the shock no the win condition
22849s	right now is just stopping that bolt
22850s	from going if they win a fight here they
22851s	should be good to play all the way up
22853s	and actually shoe ends up going down
22854s	somehow finn manages to get the snipe
22856s	reiner is super low it's up to pada pam
22858s	with the overclock to try and waylay the
22860s	shock for
22861s	some sort of time before their supports
22864s	end up getting back but a b from the
22865s	shock surges them forward ryan is up in
22868s	the sky but he's so low when he comes
22869s	back down to earth he does manage to
22871s	kill finn but now sam is nanos with the
22873s	overclock going off it does end up
22874s	fading away but look at that with one
22877s	minute to go they've managed to win the
22879s	fight here the bots gonna just travel so
22881s	fast around these corners rows the glads
22883s	need to come up with something big
22885s	otherwise they will be going down to the
22887s	lower bracket well it's gonna have to be
22889s	that nano from shoe that's the thing
22891s	that the gladiators have to rely on
22893s	right now to get something over the top
22895s	maybe it's a pop-up performance but this
22898s	is it we're back in the neutral where we
22900s	have seen the gladiators stop for most
22902s	of this map so far
22906s	she's got the nano in a couple of
22907s	percent recall from kevster you want to
22910s	go down to stand this early okay there's
22911s	the nana
22912s	reiner trying to get on the back line
22914s	he's spotted finn doesn't quite get the
22916s	punch into the wall she's taking so much
22918s	damage every single member of the shop
22920s	right now is trying to protect finn and
22922s	they've done so successfully sam going
22924s	pretty low he is anti then somehow rhino
22926s	gets the last final kill on him
22928s	92 meters and counting the gladiators
22930s	with 20 seconds to go
22931s	now i need to just gain her over 10
22933s	meters and they should be good to keep
22935s	them in the series a late kill on to
22937s	finn is fantastic can they get violent
22939s	not quite
22940s	but they're still in this rose
22942s	oh my gosh and look at this though two
22945s	gladiators they might be able to go
22946s	ahead and match that progress
22949s	from rhino
22951s	does send mikey hurtling backwards and
22954s	two meters to go the stick from kepster
22957s	is good one dps down now from the shock
22960s	he's got his eyes set on finn in the
22961s	back line who's so pretty low violet
22963s	needs to be able to save him if finn
22965s	falls they've got so little healing left
22967s	kev's just done the hero play fire ends
22969s	up going down
22971s	2.85 meters to go and the gladiators
22973s	send out a beat to try and make this the
22975s	final fight pada pan is so healthy right
22978s	now as the shock are all back in spawn
22980s	apart from proper with no recall it's no
22983s	problem for the gladiators overtime is
22986s	here but the clouds keep them in the
22988s	series
22991s	what a comeback from the gladiators
22995s	shock we're running away with coliseum
22997s	as we kicked it off in those first few
22999s	minutes but then
23001s	finally gladiators got their act
23003s	together it took a little while but they
23006s	did get it together jaws
23008s	that is
23009s	the only push map the shock have lost
23013s	out of the 11 push maps they've lost uh
23016s	they've played now
23017s	it's been a loss twice old colosseum and
23020s	you can see why the glads wanted to go
23022s	there what an
23023s	uh god like turn around from the glad
23026s	106
23028s	meters the shock gained on that push
23031s	some people would have called it but the
23033s	gladiators
23034s	no they hung up that phone they knew
23037s	they could come back
23038s	it was overtime but they managed to do
23040s	it we're going all the way map number
23042s	five right after this break
23054s	[Music]
23069s	[Music]
23110s	do
23116s	[Music]
23124s	[Music]
23130s	[Music]
23155s	[Music]
23184s	[Music]
23219s	[Music]
23243s	[Music]
23254s	[Music]
23276s	of course it would go all the way map
23278s	number five the shock and the glads are
23281s	facing down for a spot in the grand
23284s	final tomorrow of the mid-season madness
23287s	tournament
23289s	both teams been uh looking great on it
23292s	feels like every other map one team does
23295s	exceptionally well and then the other
23296s	team does exceptionally well just kind
23297s	of topples them over but
23298s	what a comeback on coliseum for the
23302s	glads they were down 100 meters and
23305s	managed to turn that one around
23308s	that was absolutely insane i think you
23311s	know you just look at that and you look
23313s	at the insurmountable lead sometimes
23314s	that some of these teams can accumulate
23316s	over the course of a push map and you go
23318s	that's very difficult to come back from
23320s	but as avaly likes to say it is
23322s	combatable true so glads fans should be
23325s	very excited that we get a chance to go
23326s	into a fifth and final map here shocked
23329s	still
23330s	it is their choice because they just
23332s	lost that last map so
23334s	i wonder if that's gonna do them any
23335s	favors going into this fifth and final
23338s	one yeah we are going on to oasis
23342s	and
23342s	well hmm
23344s	oasis is a bit of a interesting one i
23346s	think it's 50 roughly right now for uh
23348s	the shock win loss on oasis might be a
23351s	little bit more tipped in the way of
23353s	winning but it was just the the push
23356s	line as a scissor stat line which isn't
23358s	crazy i can't believe the only map they
23360s	lose on purchase coliseum they do end up
23362s	losing that one a bit ridiculous i
23364s	remember the gladiators they
23366s	they got here through the upper bracket
23368s	semifinals battling the hungzhou spark
23371s	and that was an incredibly close
23373s	five-map series so of course this one
23375s	would go to five
23378s	i mean these are the two best teams in
23379s	north america right now you could argue
23382s	one of them is the best team in the
23384s	overwatch league right now
23386s	after wait and see of course mitzi's
23387s	madness finals is tomorrow and one of
23390s	their teams is booking their ticket to
23392s	that
23393s	after this series and it all comes down
23395s	to this hey they're holding hands though
23397s	first seed second seed right at the
23399s	winter's finals together and it's all
23401s	coming together it's all coming together
23403s	but we are heading over to university to
23406s	kick off our first round of oasis and
23410s	here's something interesting we're
23411s	seeing colluge in the lineup for a
23414s	control map when typically we've been
23415s	seeing mikey to be able to provide that
23417s	flexibility of playing the wrecking ball
23420s	and the winston but
23423s	i believe that this doomfist will stick
23426s	from colluge
23428s	yeah the ball is
23430s	the ball is like okay i think uh on
23432s	university i'd still rather have the
23435s	doom fist there's so many more walls you
23436s	can kind of punch people into so that's
23439s	true it's a little bit of uh okay so
23441s	what kind of maps are we going to we
23442s	don't know because it's controlled and
23444s	it's like randomly selected uh what map
23446s	or what round so yeah like do we get
23448s	city center at all exactly if we are
23450s	gonna get it is definitely a tough one
23452s	but
23453s	inclusion does feel like the right play
23455s	no sojourn by the way or the shock
23457s	they're actually gonna have kilo on the
23459s	ash he's gonna sit all the way at the
23461s	back with his support but the ash can be
23464s	dope quite easily you only have one oh
23466s	well
23467s	anymore
23469s	not if you kill the diver first yeah
23471s	exactly
23474s	like i said before rose kilo's aim is
23477s	just correct like it's ridiculous
23480s	speaking of uh cracked as well proper
23482s	two kills on rhinoceros um his tracking
23485s	on the soldier when i was watching him
23486s	pre-season oh my god it was
23489s	absurd and a shock that came in to 2022
23493s	with a new roster of all rookies apart
23496s	from violet which is
23498s	unbelievable and they're still carrying
23500s	on that legacy of the shock being one of
23503s	the more dominant teams in north america
23505s	that just speaks to the coaching of the
23507s	shock i feel like
23509s	they're gonna kick off another
23512s	fight here with violet now getting a
23514s	pick
23515s	but yeah it just speaks volumes to how
23517s	well
23518s	coached and how individually skilled all
23520s	of these players are put them on a team
23522s	together and it's also just magic i mean
23524s	it definitely feels like krusty bullies
23526s	them into submission at times but
23528s	choices see on the timeline
23530s	ryan is diving in with the nano boost
23532s	going to get anything done both supports
23533s	are pretty low punches fit into the wall
23534s	but not before an executed dive on the
23537s	back line of the gladiators is rather
23539s	successful probably the pulse on to
23541s	padapan and their skewed wasn't long for
23544s	this world shu gets cleaned up and there
23546s	you go the guy has tried to go for a
23547s	dive reiner found one but he it felt
23550s	like he didn't really have any backup
23551s	there the gladiators were a little bit
23553s	more concerned and split off do we help
23555s	our backline or do we try and help ryan
23557s	and neither ended up working out and
23559s	well they lose that fight
23561s	look at this gladiators also having a
23562s	bit of a composition identity correct
23565s	reiner somehow rhino
23567s	no but what i i'm just gonna we'll talk
23570s	about that in a second but i want to
23571s	talk about the fact that patty has now
23573s	chosen his fourth hero this round
23576s	um
23577s	you know going for the sojourn to the
23579s	hanzo to the ash briefly and now the
23582s	genji
23583s	and now reiner's back
23586s	tactical
23587s	back definitely not tactical there's the
23589s	coach
23590s	matching transcendence again the
23591s	executed dive on the back line the glass
23593s	is successful for colluge a nice name
23595s	but it ain't going to matter 82 83
23598s	building up where are the glads
23600s	the san francisco shock have rolled over
23603s	los angeles
23605s	as they take round number one there was
23607s	no fight for glads there they either got
23609s	picked reiner accented yeah maybe
23612s	slipping on uh i don't know a bit of wet
23614s	floor i suppose and throwing himself off
23616s	the map i'm lucky i guess but
23618s	there was no fighting there from the
23620s	class there wasn't a distinct like okay
23622s	there's a lot of brawling going on rhino
23624s	went in a couple of times ended up
23626s	getting slept or he took too long to to
23628s	get a kill and the shock just rolled
23630s	over um the glass back line
23633s	oh
23634s	no that is so unlucky actually oh
23638s	that's so sad
23640s	i can't i mean
23642s	gladiators to just back up what you were
23644s	saying jaws they got one kill
23648s	one kill
23650s	and then the shot got 15
23652s	15. that was clean
23656s	all right
23657s	clean that that's not what what is
23659s	happening
23661s	it's it's hard on both sides
23663s	stop it
23664s	no this is good oh this is real
23667s	yep oh yeah
23669s	oh well okay it's gonna be entertaining
23671s	i think
23672s	yeah just bullet sponges basically if
23674s	you're playing hog right now
23677s	it's kind of annoying to chase down you
23679s	just got to be uh wary if you're collude
23681s	shu is still playing the honor shock not
23684s	so much nice there you go
23686s	hook nade there's the kill the glad to
23689s	want to fight however i say that i'm not
23692s	going to call it yet as proper is still
23693s	alive uh excuse does it have falling at
23696s	the hands of proper and finn who've made
23698s	quite the rotation
23700s	are very swiftly sent back to spawn and
23703s	the gladiators are going to cap the
23704s	fourth point for the first time in oasis
23709s	well that's good for them because they
23711s	will start to be able to i think keep
23714s	get get a nice defensive position i was
23716s	i wasn't going to say something snarky
23717s	there i swear okay i mean
23720s	the fact that you know you get to have
23722s	paddy now set up on the high ground who
23724s	are you really going to send after him
23726s	on that rotunda in the middle and then
23729s	you've got the other high ground to play
23730s	around ryder keeps getting hooks
23734s	tight feels super good though
23735s	i mean even if you auntie the mother he
23737s	feels still needs to be dealt with now
23738s	they want the hog finn doesn't stand to
23740s	charge but now he hasn't got a hook to
23742s	really play with a couple of right
23744s	clicks do a fair bit of damage heals
23745s	himself up to full but the shock managed
23748s	to cap the point that it really didn't
23750s	do all anything there long range how did
23753s	that hook hit well don't know both hogs
23755s	are dead though a prop has got a pulse
23757s	bomb and that's what counts the san
23758s	francisco shock do end up capping and
23760s	the guide is gonna have to go again i
23762s	wonder if they're going to stop hooking
23763s	first
23764s	normally in the hog door if you hook
23766s	last you do end up winning um i will say
23771s	so
23772s	it's uh it's a bit awkward for ryder
23774s	there unfortunately there's no lamp on
23775s	the side of the cloud so you can't just
23777s	insta put lamp down when uh you get the
23779s	hook first so yeah well the other part
23782s	about that too is you've seen how shu
23784s	follows up a lot of the times of the
23786s	bionate as well after reiner secures a
23788s	hook so it's just a really quick
23790s	takedown of whoever rider decides to get
23793s	at the end of that bait
23795s	but
23796s	still control over the shock here
23799s	yeah they can jostle on this point
23801s	forever
23803s	mr bob comes out to play kilo with a
23805s	very clutch coach gun does save himself
23808s	from the dragons kevin lanza pulse on to
23810s	the immortality field that time violet
23812s	not quite so lucky to help the rest of
23815s	his team ends up getting taken out kills
23816s	rhino in the meantime but the gladiators
23819s	seem to want to invest a little bit more
23820s	into this fight the transcendence comes
23823s	out just to secure i mean 65 you don't
23826s	really want to have the fight go on for
23828s	any longer otherwise you're in one fight
23830s	territory there
23833s	yeah and especially when you see colluge
23835s	also switch over to the diva and so
23838s	that'll be helpful to try to stop any of
23840s	those one shot combos coming in from
23842s	reiner
23843s	on the road hog or maybe even some of
23845s	these storm arrows that'll be coming
23847s	through from patapan still on the hanzo
23850s	so i like the defense matrix choice here
23852s	just to kind of change things up a
23853s	little bit
23854s	as we see shock posture to try to take
23857s	back control proper looking for a target
23861s	god proper again starting the fight out
23863s	killing two people with the help of
23865s	finn's discord
23867s	68 before the glad they've only just
23869s	managed to match the shot but shot by
23870s	the flip uh late transcendence from finn
23873s	as proper finds his third kill of the
23876s	fight reiner is on the run but not for
23878s	long as he gets chased down uses the
23880s	breather but he is discorded nice matrix
23883s	by colluge to help them finish the kill
23885s	on to rhino 81 and building for the
23887s	shock now as this could very well be it
23890s	glad needs to come back and they need to
23892s	come back now
23893s	yeah look at that i mean ryden doesn't
23895s	even have the chance yeah he can't use
23897s	the ultimate here he's got to give it up
23898s	go to the wrecking ball he's got to get
23900s	back in time to make sure that this is a
23902s	fair 5v5 fight
23904s	i can see all the way at the back hasn't
23906s	really got too much to worry about nice
23907s	a bit of dynamite damage but over time
23909s	is here
23912s	trying to get on the back that was a
23913s	headshot i think would have screamed but
23914s	powderpants i think screaming a little
23916s	bit louder than i would be there as he
23917s	goes down first once again to the hands
23919s	of proper a recall from kepster and now
23921s	he has to put himself in danger he has
23923s	the pulse bomb throws it on the make
23925s	that should be an incident but the
23927s	background the guardians are already
23928s	dead kilo kills kepster knows over time
23930s	ticks through the san francisco shock
23933s	roll the gladiators on oasis
23935s	and see themselves in
23937s	the mid-season madness
23941s	finals wow look at that i mean look at
23944s	they're just chatting it up to
23945s	gladiators they're taking this one on
23947s	the chin they still have another life in
23950s	this tournament but for the shock they
23952s	have secured themselves to
23955s	at least second place
23956s	and that definitely has to feel good
23959s	especially after the performance that
23960s	they put on during the kickoff clash
23962s	what a great showing for them today what
23965s	a fun match overall
23967s	okay it had to go to five it just had
23970s	well the san francisco shock do
23973s	go to the finals the gladiators still
23976s	have a chance they jump down to the
23979s	lower bracket final and they will play
23981s	the winner of our next match the atlanta
23984s	reign versus the philadelphia fusion but
23986s	that oasis was just a blowout from the
23989s	shock the last round a little bit closer
23991s	a little bit closer but university
23994s	the glads did not have a single fight
23996s	rose
23997s	i don't think they touched the point
24001s	i don't think they touched the point
24002s	they got one kill like that's it that it
24004s	was definitely super decisive for the
24007s	shock and
24008s	you when you look at how well the shock
24010s	were able to win some of these fights i
24012s	think you've got to give a lot of
24014s	accolades to proper who will be our
24017s	player of the match i mean
24019s	what a mad lad jaws we looked at
24022s	proper's performance from yesterday's
24025s	match for the san francisco shock and
24027s	how incredibly
24030s	well poised shock was for success when
24032s	looking at some of those picks from
24034s	proper but even today
24036s	just
24037s	it's still on a tear through this
24039s	tournament yeah i mean he's a whole new
24041s	level of crack that's for sure
24044s	on that oasis like he was getting
24046s	one to two pigs almost every single
24047s	fight this 5k here i
24051s	this guy is just a monster
24054s	if he keeps this up um it could
24056s	potentially be one of the greatest
24058s	rookie performances we've ever seen from
24060s	a player entering at the overwatch
24061s	league
24062s	i mean we're only halfway through the
24064s	year
24065s	right now right i mean you know mitzi's
24067s	a madness second tournament in
24069s	but
24070s	for what we're seeing right now proper
24072s	best rookie we have so far
24075s	is tracer this match 50 pulse bomb
24077s	attach rate very very few deaths 10 plus
24081s	final blows per 10 he's looking clean
24084s	he's been looking so good whether it is
24087s	the tracer or it is the sojourn or
24090s	whatever proper decides to play you know
24092s	that we're in for a good treat i feel
24094s	like so he's gonna be very happy to see
24097s	how proper performed in this match today
24099s	and you definitely have the stats to
24101s	back it up too
24102s	a lot of the actually didn't everybody
24105s	spread glads too yeah okay that's good
24108s	great i'm glad this uh just went this
24109s	way because i would have heard of the
24111s	shock if i was on the desk i wonder how
24112s	they're feeling right now i'm not sure
24113s	maybe a little bit salty we'll find out
24116s	yeah we'll jump into a quick break don't
24118s	go anywhere we've got the desk and
24119s	there's salty tears coming up after

24447s	earliers and in my personal opinion i
24449s	think it was after losing illios where
24451s	you guys really just like woke up and
24452s	started to dominate um were there any
24454s	specific changes you guys made after uh
24457s	elios and going into eichenwalde or like
24459s	what were you guys talking about um
24461s	no we knew like we just hadn't played
24464s	much against the lucio comp so adjusting
24467s	uh or so like we knew the play style
24469s	that we usually play right against their
24470s	competent for like yeah would work well
24473s	once funny ashes out we know no lucio
24476s	so what's your plan to sort of sort of
24477s	focus down on funny astro
24479s	um not so much that you can't focus a
24481s	good lucio that's just bait yeah
24485s	all right and of course finally uh yeah
24487s	with this win you guys are in the
24489s	mid-season madness finals
24492s	who do you think is going to be your
24493s	opponent tomorrow and why is it the
24494s	gladiators
24496s	if not then it is it's not if atlanta
24498s	keeps playing how they're playing uh i
24500s	can see them making it but probably
24502s	gladiators probably gladiators yeah and
24503s	any good reason any they're they're just
24505s	really good they're just really good
24507s	yeah oh so we're going to have another
24508s	gladiator there is a possibility of
24510s	either atlanta or it could be gladiators
24512s	but you think it's gladiators i kind of
24514s	agree too well anyway sam thank you so
24516s	much for your time that is it for the
24517s	interview
24518s	so avaly back to you
24522s	thank you very much danny
24523s	congratulations again to the shock uh
24525s	are we setting it up for a salty run
24527s	back it feels like a salty i saw i saw
24530s	collusion stand up and look across the
24532s	table and i was like i want to see these
24534s	two teams play again like that's going
24536s	to be sick it was a it was a great match
24537s	there were so many great individual and
24539s	team performances like you can tell why
24541s	these are two of the best teams we have
24542s	in the game i mean honestly forget
24544s	overwatch for a second i just want to
24546s	see each of those teams just like duke
24548s	it out in a all sorts of hawaii like
24550s	related activities bowling beach
24553s	volleyball
24555s	how did you get born
24557s	activity i didn't really think about
24559s	hawaii to be honest you know what i like
24561s	that will you they don't have bowling in
24562s	hawaii
24564s	well i'm sure they do
24565s	this is something that we're going to
24566s	have to investigate but that aside let's
24568s	actually jump in and investigate this
24570s	series because it was looking like he
24572s	was back and forth for a second and then
24573s	all of a sudden in the fifth map it
24575s	looks like gladiators just kind of
24576s	rolled over yeah i think you really you
24578s	know sam just hit on it right there the
24580s	funny outro lucio is something that no
24582s	other teams are really utilizing and it
24584s	is catching people off guard the san
24586s	francisco shock came out in this match
24588s	and i honestly it felt like they had the
24590s	answer to it in this first round but it
24592s	did just start to slip away from them
24594s	and you know funny astro i think he
24596s	played two maps and those were the two
24597s	maps that he won so really funny astro
24599s	was the key to the gladiator success
24602s	well probably map dependent but it was
24604s	it was awesome to see how both of these
24607s	teams go and how adaptable both of them
24609s	are across from map to map colluge
24611s	playing this diva here inherently the
24613s	gladiators did not have an answer to it
24615s	we saw reiner try to play the zarya i
24617s	thought it was an interesting pick but
24618s	it eventually just did not work out and
24621s	it's just sort of boyfried both these
24622s	teams going back and forth yeah
24625s	um
24626s	it feels like these two teams are really
24628s	pushing each other to the limit yeah and
24630s	it's so interesting because of what sam
24632s	also hit on in the interview there that
24635s	like these are two teams that practice a
24638s	lot against each other i mean they are
24640s	arguably the two best teams in the north
24642s	american region and they know that so
24643s	they know that the best practice they're
24645s	going to get is against each other and
24647s	so you have
24649s	i love when this happens by the way i
24650s	love when you have teams they're just
24652s	like they they have such deep
24654s	understanding of each other that you're
24656s	just going to see like these hero picks
24658s	like reiner swapping over to the zarya
24660s	for example sam what was this by the way
24662s	yeah that was quite cool
24664s	but also like reiner swapping over to
24665s	the zorya because he probably has an
24667s	understanding of what works against the
24670s	san francisco shock and what doesn't
24671s	work so maybe he goes i need to like try
24674s	this story out because this is the only
24676s	chance you're going to get by the way
24677s	like the yellow gladiators they're not
24678s	going to scream shock going into
24680s	tomorrow if they have to play against
24681s	each other right so you really have to
24683s	like try everything now before it's too
24686s	late and so i i love what i saw from you
24688s	know reiner being able to play that
24690s	story a little bit trying it out this is
24692s	something we can speculate and play more
24693s	of um and then you had both teams go to
24696s	road dog canoe shopping over to the diva
24698s	i mean
24699s	there's just like so much to this
24701s	matchup that it's just like to love uh
24703s	this is really peak overwatch to me oh
24705s	my god i know that's such a like no i i
24707s	agree with you it was peak overwatch
24709s	unoriginal thing to say but it really
24711s	was like if you you'd really read into
24714s	all the small details and just be like
24716s	wow this is what it's like when like the
24717s	10 best players on the planet play
24719s	against each other it's also funny
24721s	because you can tell they scream against
24722s	each other because in no other world in
24724s	any other situation do we have a roadhog
24726s	mirror for the final round and the final
24728s	map no other way do we have that but i
24731s	also want to give some massive credit to
24732s	some of the shock players because okay
24734s	yeah proper was incredible one mvp we've
24736s	talked enough about him he's great we
24737s	love you but sam and kilo are the two
24740s	dps players that are changing time on
24742s	that team and i think that they're doing
24744s	an incredible job you know i've had my
24746s	questions about both sam and kilo and
24748s	how well they're going to be effectively
24750s	be able to slot into that roster sam on
24751s	that sojourn was getting pick after pick
24754s	making his presence known keloid heads
24755s	in on that circle royale absolutely
24757s	dominant in that widow match up so i do
24759s	want to give those guys props they are
24761s	integral to the success of this team
24763s	actually
24764s	we can't lose our pro proper okay
24769s	i'm gonna ask for the single right here
24771s	because we we gotta address this all
24773s	right this is propper's rook a year this
24776s	is proper rookie year okay yeah he's one
24778s	of the best rookies we've ever had in
24781s	this league and i know that we've talked
24783s	about proper a lot here on the desk
24785s	pretty much every broadcast we talk
24786s	about proper even when the shock are not
24787s	playing we're talking about proper and
24790s	we joke about it you know that it's you
24792s	know part of our contract whether we
24793s	talk about proper all the time i get it
24795s	it's starting to become a bit unoriginal
24798s	but here's the thing
24799s	proper is a generational talent he's
24801s	going to be in this league for a long
24803s	time he's going to win a lot of awards
24805s	and i've already started to see people
24806s	cry on twitter reddit etc oh you know
24809s	they always talk about proper too much
24810s	i'm so tired of them talking about
24811s	proper listen
24813s	you need to learn to love proper because
24815s	otherwise you're gonna have one hell of
24816s	a miserable experience watching the
24817s	overwatch league because he's going to
24819s	demolish your favorite teams over and
24822s	over and over again and it's not going
24824s	to stop for a very long time so either
24826s	you learn to appreciate and love proper
24829s	or i got bad news for you
24830s	that's it
24831s	i agree because he is probably after
24833s	this tournament the mvp front run like
24835s	he's at the top of my list before it was
24837s	like up in the air even probably with
24840s	whatever happens in the rest of this
24841s	tournament proper has just been mvp
24843s	performance every single match he's at
24844s	the top of my list now and a
24846s	well-deserved securing of that finals
24850s	the grand finals i should say spot and
24852s	now all that's left is to find out who
24854s	exactly is going to be playing against
24855s	them because again gladiators they're
24857s	dropping their series here but that
24859s	doesn't mean that they're out of the
24860s	tournament just yet because they're just
24862s	going to fall into that lower bracket we
24864s	can actually take a look at our updated
24865s	bracket right now both the upper and the
24867s	losers i suppose actually i should say
24869s	winners and losers or upper and lower
24871s	either way some people have lost already
24873s	but here we see in the finals moving on
24875s	for tomorrow is going to be the san
24877s	francisco shock and now let's go ahead
24879s	and take a look at the lower bracket to
24881s	find out who exactly is going to be
24882s	playing them because we still have one
24884s	more match for today and that's going to
24886s	be the atlanta rain taking on the
24888s	philadelphia fusion and then of course
24890s	the winner of that match is going to
24892s	face the gladiators to find out who will
24894s	be taking on the shock and we already
24897s	heard
24898s	they think that it's going to be the
24899s	gladiators again is that you feeling
24901s	that you're feeling the salty run back
24903s	yeah i think atlanta and philly have
24905s	both had their ups but in terms of
24907s	consistency of performances i think the
24909s	gladiators are just on another level
24911s	same with the shock so i'm excited to
24912s	see who's going to win this match
24914s	because it could either go either way we
24915s	talked about that earlier but i think
24917s	the gladiators are going to be a tough
24918s	opponent to beat but whoever gets there
24920s	that was a test and you failed oh i made
24923s	it oh no i'm supposed to be loyal to the
24924s	fusion
24926s	and you just totally you i'm sorry
24929s	come on
24930s	betrayed all fusion fans don't worry
24932s	fusion fans i'm still here for you scott
24935s	is it johnny are you
24938s	you think fusion can take down atlanta
24939s	rain and the gladiators that's the
24941s	question well let's maybe just start
24943s	with this match right here i i think
24944s	it's you know really interesting to keep
24946s	in mind that last year all we talked
24948s	about was dallas fuel against the
24950s	shanghai dragons come the playoffs last
24952s	year and then the dallas fuel they lost
24955s	in the losers bracket
24957s	against the atlanta in a very surprising
24959s	loss a very weird loss so
24962s	maybe you know we shouldn't just assume
24964s	that gladiators because they looked good
24966s	in the upper bracket that they're going
24967s	to dominate the lower bracket so you
24969s	know you never know what's going to
24970s	happen in the losers bracket
24973s	he didn't talk about philly at all there
24974s	that is did he also fail the test you
24976s	know what i think there's only one way
24978s	to find out can we please pull up our
24980s	predictions
24981s	for this next match that's coming up
24983s	because you all know where my allegiance
24985s	lies and let's see we have
24989s	yeah
24991s	it's
24993s	[Applause]
24996s	yeah danny you can step on a pineapple
24999s	there buddy with that prediction i don't
25001s	know if that's actually the pineapple's
25003s	growing away
25004s	do pineapples grow in hawaii yeah
25007s	i want to say that's a dumb question but
25010s	i've never seen a pineapple grow outside
25012s	of harvest moon before
25015s	do pineapples text
25018s	pecs do you pineapple
25021s	yes access yes that pineapples grow in
25024s	hawaii i knew that i was just trying to
25026s	get a comedy bit but hey we are going to
25028s	take a quick break but when we come back
25030s	we're going to see that final match of
25031s	the day atlanta rain taking on the
25033s	philadelphia fusion so don't go anywhere
25035s	unless you're gonna grab a pineapple
25039s	i i started questioning myself
25058s	[Music]
25078s	[Music]
25089s	[Music]
25102s	um
25105s	[Music]
25115s	[Music]
25120s	[Music]
25133s	yes
25137s	[Music]
25151s	[Music]
25158s	[Music]
25172s	[Music]
25180s	[Music]
25186s	[Applause]
25194s	[Applause]
25205s	[Music]
25221s	[Music]
25235s	[Music]
25241s	[Music]
25260s	[Applause]
25261s	[Music]
25266s	so
25282s	what's up welcome back uh
25284s	the fusion the rain is up next
25286s	look at the end of the day
25289s	you do get a second chance in these
25290s	tournament brackets and the fusion the
25292s	rain they needed that second chance both
25295s	of them got knocked out in day one um
25297s	straight down for lowers and they both
25300s	steamrolled their way through the
25302s	philadelphia fusion got revenge on the
25305s	spark for knocking them down lower
25306s	bracket earlier on today as they beat
25308s	the spark three to two the atlanta reign
25311s	made it all this way they beat seoul
25313s	dynasty a team that everybody thought
25315s	was gonna go toward the finals like it's
25318s	been a crazy run for both these teams
25321s	and now is their final chance
25323s	to get to the finals they do have the
25326s	glad standing in their way but first
25328s	they've got to beat each other before
25329s	they even get there
25331s	yeah and can atlanta rain just play
25333s	spoil again to the final eastern team
25337s	that is left in the mid-season madness
25340s	josh they've already taken out two
25341s	there's a third one knocked up lined up
25343s	ready to go for him and that's the
25345s	philadelphia fusion you can see their
25347s	starting roster here
25348s	yeah man oh
25349s	the philly fusion looks
25352s	so clean today
25354s	against the spark it was a close game
25356s	but i'm just thinking it back to belas
25358s	rio on the wrecking ball
25361s	he was so good and
25364s	not to mention that mn3 and zest also
25366s	had games of their lives like zest
25369s	tracer and his pulse bomb attach rate
25371s	and just his efficiency with the pulses
25374s	is next to none they are
25377s	performing to a level they've not
25380s	performed
25381s	to this season and
25383s	they do have to face against the rain
25385s	and then they will have to face against
25386s	the glads and then they
25388s	might have to lose in the finals because
25389s	that's how for the delphi fusion role
25392s	but i mean the rain can kind of break
25394s	that curse kind of
25396s	kind of by knocking them out here kylie
25398s	venom hawk ultraviolet og
25400s	um one of the teams is going to face the
25402s	glads tomorrow
25404s	very shortly we're going to find out who
25406s	that is
25407s	either fusion or destined for for second
25410s	place or they're going to just get
25411s	knocked out here and we're gonna save
25413s	all the fusion fans the disappointment
25416s	of them getting to the finals i know
25418s	yeah
25419s	has already made like 17 memes um
25422s	tailing the fusion's journey through the
25424s	lower bracket uh he's probably got an
25427s	extra five lined up for if they win oh
25429s	i'm sure we're gonna lose against glass
25431s	if they were losing the finals like
25434s	that at the end of the day
25435s	people are prepared
25437s	that you murray most prepared uh yeah i
25440s	think so fortunately for the timeline
25442s	it's uh it's looking hostile out there
25444s	but the look the fusion they have been
25447s	performing extremely well but people you
25448s	can't uh you can't
25451s	you can't speak out
25453s	yeah it's like kai in these clutch
25455s	scenarios in these situations his
25457s	sojourn coming into the tournament is
25459s	said to be one of the best in the world
25460s	that we have and i think this
25462s	tournament specifically has just shown
25465s	how much
25467s	all dps players can level up in these
25470s	high pressure situations
25472s	i love that you bring that up because in
25474s	this tournament i feel like we have seen
25478s	the ceilings go even taller for a lot of
25480s	these dps players
25483s	they're one-upping themselves i don't
25484s	even know how that's possible sometimes
25486s	jaws especially when you look at sojourn
25488s	players like kai that already had deep
25491s	accolades before they even got into the
25494s	tournament
25495s	and they are con they're topping that
25497s	and i don't know how but it goes to show
25499s	you that yeah there's a lot that each of
25502s	these teams and players individually are
25504s	doing to keep getting themselves further
25506s	in these tournaments so let's go ahead
25509s	and kick off our final match of the
25511s	night
25512s	on lijiang
25514s	yeah that's what i want to see you want
25516s	to see fellas where you're on the
25516s	wrecking ball
25518s	me too did kind of go crazy like some of
25520s	the team fights he was just carrying
25521s	himself which is uh insane exactly what
25524s	you want from your wrecking ball player
25525s	but dragonball is like so easy to reset
25527s	on as a character uh doom feels a little
25529s	less so you're a lot more like cool down
25531s	reliant of course you kind of are with
25533s	the wrecking ball but your guns still do
25535s	a fair bit of damage all right let's
25536s	have a look what they're rolling out
25538s	with looks like rain surprise surprise
25540s	it's gonna have kai on the sojourn
25543s	wow look at how bellas how quickly bella
25546s	already made it to point even with the
25548s	the symmetric teleporters
25551s	yeah og attempting to get a couple of
25553s	boots luckily zest doesn't really know
25554s	where he is
25555s	gonna shot him
25556s	taking this high ground is pretty
25557s	important having kai up there just to
25559s	deny space however a very quick dive for
25561s	the atlanta reign taking out key threats
25564s	in mm3 they just trade half through
25566s	which is pretty bad um if you are the
25568s	atlanta range
25570s	you lose all that space making the
25572s	potential and bella is now just playing
25574s	a little bit of pinball whoa strikes two
25576s	people there and ends up getting away
25578s	almost scot-free problem is with the
25580s	wrecking ball you get far for old charge
25583s	look at venomous charge right now 75
25586s	could get back to his team in time and i
25587s	said it was bad for the rain they lost
25589s	their tank it's even worse now for the
25590s	fusion
25593s	yeah look at that i mean the fusion are
25594s	just going to go ahead and fall over too
25596s	and they didn't even get control of the
25597s	point yet either that first capture
25600s	going over to the atlanta reign we even
25603s	already saw a swap up here from the
25605s	fusion strategy they have now switched
25608s	mn3 off the ash and onto the sombra just
25611s	seeing how quickly and aggressively
25613s	rayne want to go with the moira lucille
25615s	backline and that doomfist in the front
25618s	has already got holes i mean zest used
25620s	his last fight venom can just go
25622s	straight to the back oh flick of the
25624s	wrists
25625s	ends up missing
25626s	fixer hawk doesn't end up getting hacked
25628s	perfect target to go for that at the end
25630s	of the day if you don't have follow-up
25632s	that's a problem zest did take out hawk
25634s	but losing sex that's a whole lot of
25635s	damage now missing for the philadelphia
25637s	fusion they're gonna have to supplement
25638s	it with something
25640s	they've uh allowed terrain end up
25641s	throwing out the coal they've still got
25642s	the beat to rely on but this looks
25644s	pretty good for the atlanta rain in fact
25646s	they're gonna throw in the bee on top of
25647s	that and in fact more ultimates all
25649s	right okay just keep going in tempo is
25652s	being set for the rain all the way back
25654s	to spawn go the fusion bellasria came
25657s	back and now he's one hp has to scurry
25659s	to atlanta reigns side of the map a lot
25662s	invested for atlanta
25664s	yeah now you don't have that sound
25666s	barrier either for mf3 coming back into
25669s	this one with the emp
25671s	so i think maybe if you're the rain
25673s	you're kind of expecting to just lose
25675s	out that fight if you do fall victim to
25678s	like a five-man emp coming out from m3
25681s	but oh
25684s	kept at bay for now
25686s	yeah already been checked all right zest
25688s	got another pulse who's his target
25689s	probably og but good luck sticking to
25691s	lucio ideally og probably it's going to
25693s	be hawk
25695s	everybody else has a lot mobility ball
25697s	pretty like venom sends out a pulse of
25699s	his own and now hawks are high in the
25701s	sky no point possessed to track him down
25704s	the rally is going to be good for the
25706s	philly fusion however zest can't really
25709s	get too much stuff done the hawk had the
25711s	power block available to him so the
25713s	pulse bomb got almost no damage the rain
25715s	have 97 on the point the fusion
25718s	struggling to find any sort of kill
25720s	ultraviolet nearing that coalescence in
25723s	a couple of seconds and car just sitting
25725s	on the high ground free firing gets
25727s	poofed in by bellis rear but use that
25729s	power slide to get out of there finally
25731s	the philadelphia fusion finder kill in
25733s	hawk but the orlando reign is still
25735s	willing to contest the point maybe they
25737s	just go again give philly fusion the uh
25740s	the point control here and go with beats
25742s	and coalescence doesn't like that's what
25743s	actually what they want to do is the
25745s	philly fusion end up finding the cap
25748s	yeah they may as well the coalescence
25750s	now you get to use it as an engagement
25752s	tool there's nothing really to stop you
25754s	they're gonna force out that
25755s	transcendence unfortunately that
25756s	coalescence isn't gonna do too much
25758s	above me or the rest of your team
25759s	they're actually gonna investigate on
25760s	top of that after the coal is ran out
25762s	and now fixer is the target for venom
25765s	and god does end up falling with og
25767s	diving into the back but the atlanta
25769s	rain lose their main healer in
25771s	ultraviolet so they're gonna have to be
25772s	a little bit more careful hawkish hacked
25774s	punches back to the point but still his
25776s	health bar is falling and he's falling
25778s	rapidly
25780s	bella took the mega pack away from hawk
25782s	and the philadelphia fusion more than
25784s	happy with that fight getting both
25786s	support ultimates out of the atlanta
25788s	reign
25789s	yeah now they have another emp to try
25791s	again that first one really
25793s	un
25794s	impactful but that didn't do anything in
25796s	fact hawk got super low from it still
25799s	got saved
25801s	wasn't great but m3 let's try again
25803s	shall we
25805s	that emp
25806s	uh
25807s	maybe zero man emp i didn't see any high
25810s	timers on my screen i see dead targets
25812s	though and so does kai nice double kill
25814s	for the sojourn he's looking straight
25816s	down towards fusion spawn fix it did not
25819s	stand a chance i need to do the rest of
25822s	fusion the bella cereal ball ends up
25824s	coming back but quickly dealt with you
25827s	do have mm3 on the point as the sombra
25829s	and zest is coming up the rear with that
25831s	pulse bomb but are they going to be able
25832s	to get anything done they have only got
25834s	the pulse to use and zesters had to use
25837s	that recall already overtime is ticking
25839s	down rather quickly as this jumps back
25841s	throws out the pulse swinging a miss and
25844s	the philadelphia fusion just trickling
25847s	on only the doomfist left i say that mn3
25850s	is there too but it should be a clean
25853s	sweep for rain there it is round number
25855s	one is in the back
25859s	pretty convincing victory from the rain
25861s	as well i mean the ballistic wrecking
25863s	ball still did a lot of work being able
25865s	to disrupt the atlanta
25867s	rain but
25869s	at the end of the day i feel like what
25871s	we saw from the dps lineup from the
25873s	fusion was
25875s	just super unimpressive and especially
25877s	after the way that they played earlier
25879s	today i think you were really hoping for
25881s	these zest pulse bombs to really make an
25883s	impact or even mn3 yeah we haven't seen
25886s	the sombra a whole lot from him in
25888s	particular but those emps did absolutely
25891s	nothing yeah
25893s	definitely have to look back and see how
25895s	many people that got normally hit the
25896s	emp and then look at the other team's
25898s	health bars i'm like oh wait there's no
25900s	hack symbols so i'll have to check it
25902s	might have been a memphis i think it was
25904s	like one out of both emps sure yeah i
25907s	mean
25908s	not great not great that's bureau yeah
25911s	all right
25912s	for round two yeah frame the same kind
25914s	of comp zest is switching over to the
25917s	echo instead and it's actually emitted
25918s	three on the tracer oh that was a nice
25921s	boot unfortunately fixtures does the
25923s	shield bash gets back on to ground just
25926s	in time oh now aim god's in
25929s	in the sights of oge
25931s	and hawk manages to push zest off the
25933s	map
25935s	okay well look at that you know gets to
25938s	go a bit of aggressive here too but
25940s	don't count fusion now just yet atlanta
25942s	rain may have found the cap here but mm3
25945s	did pick off venom and bella 3 is back
25949s	og is being kind of annoying right now
25951s	for the fusion to deal with he keeps
25953s	popping over the wall to try and see if
25954s	anybody's uh on the bridge
25956s	still a bit of a scuffle uh in the white
25959s	room that aim god is just isolated in
25961s	those small corridors you don't want to
25962s	be the zen ultraviolet doesn't have to
25963s	use the shift to get in the way and it's
25965s	actually a big trade it's three of e3 on
25967s	the point but the philadelphia fusion do
25969s	not have healers so they just have to
25970s	survive on their own ultraviolet going
25972s	down it's pretty big but the rain still
25974s	control the point atlanta now throw out
25977s	that pulse bomb onto bella rio ball and
25979s	he gets away just in time but they still
25981s	can tag him at this point venom is just
25983s	running straight at him checking him in
25986s	every single angle that he wants to take
25989s	i like that we talk about
25992s	kai a lot you can see the sojourn
25994s	pop-offs in the kill feed all the time
25996s	but what about venom look at how much
25998s	territorial control this particular
26000s	player has been able to have on this
26002s	tracer and i mean it checks and balances
26005s	onto the fusion okay venom gets taken
26007s	out there but you're a tracer you'll get
26009s	you're gonna get back in time
26013s	this turns around half a second kai
26015s	shoots a rail at his back forcing the
26017s	transcendence
26018s	for the philadelphia fusion
26020s	five members still alive for the iron
26022s	terrain hawk is pretty low gets healed
26023s	up with that uh biotic orb
26026s	i mean that's a rain still in control 75
26028s	percent
26029s	four ultimates coming alive to fusion
26033s	but a sound barrier from og could just
26035s	stop all of that in its tracks plus
26037s	kai's got an overclock
26039s	and so
26040s	i'm ready to see
26041s	where kai can push the envelope on this
26043s	hero once again
26045s	especially if he's able to set the pace
26047s	of this next fight with it
26049s	there's a whole lot of collateral kills
26050s	waiting there's the beat start off the
26053s	fight the rally is gonna match from the
26054s	fusion oh he's lining up kai gets one
26057s	fella sorry stepping up doesn't get
26059s	anything uh
26060s	still shooting the ball with the
26061s	overhealth yeah not gonna do too much
26063s	damage all the mean time though the
26064s	fusion do manage to cap the points nice
26067s	pulse one from m3
26069s	the atlanta rain use all their ultimates
26071s	they did have in that fight fusion saved
26074s	their copy for next as they now are in
26077s	control
26078s	they're gonna have the transcendence
26080s	also from aim god
26082s	and that's gonna be really nice to start
26084s	to try to match the percentage of their
26085s	reign arena basically
26087s	capped the second point as well and won
26089s	this first map so now it's up to fusion
26091s	to play flawlessly
26093s	bring this into another round zest going
26095s	into the back line here has that copy
26097s	available
26100s	[Applause]
26103s	ultraviolet from across the map
26105s	yeah can't fade out of that one buddy
26107s	unlucky
26109s	getting the copy out is pretty nice
26110s	though but like you said rose that
26111s	transcendence 10 away
26114s	that's gonna be really nice and and what
26116s	do do rain really have to be able to
26119s	deal with this echo as well when you're
26121s	able to just chunk down such low health
26123s	targets with that focusing beam
26125s	still a lot to watch out for here
26128s	they got under a little bit of pressure
26129s	so as the transcendence in his back
26131s	pocket
26132s	kai just there and zest life the left
26134s	leg you don't normally see that nowadays
26136s	normally just the right post bomb on to
26138s	fixer three of the three near the point
26142s	zest has actually gone sober to get back
26144s	in time as the fusion now nearing eighty
26146s	percent
26149s	may as well have something available the
26152s	echo was nice but the packs may help a
26154s	little bit more oh she gets booped off
26156s	and just straight down to the huddle
26157s	zone the atlanta rain lose both their
26159s	support so quickly the philadelphia
26161s	fusion at 85 percent of building a very
26163s	stark contrast to what we saw around
26164s	number one but venom and hawk is still
26166s	in the game he may be low but
26169s	quick movement from the doomfist heals
26170s	him straight back up both supports the
26172s	fusion trying to hold down this point
26174s	they have to retreat to white room for
26175s	the time being because hawke and the
26177s	rest of the reign are just trying to get
26179s	on top of their position asap and then
26181s	three pulls off the map oh ken
26184s	too many environmental kills
26187s	right now uh yeah we're gonna have to
26188s	get a replay of that one again
26190s	unfortunately it's going straight in the
26191s	replay package fixer he used his rally
26194s	to begin this fight off as a little bit
26195s	of overhealth on the aim god but that's
26197s	just about it bellasri is going pretty
26199s	low he's got the shield but not much
26201s	health to bear it's 99
26204s	for the fusion with an emp on the way
26207s	but og has the beat and is ready to end
26208s	this now there it is five men hit with
26212s	the beat can they get anything done he's
26214s	trying to choose zest the overclock ends
26216s	up just missing a couple of body shots
26218s	but his team are finishing up the kills
26220s	both supports dead for the fusion it's
26222s	less than them and three back on to try
26224s	and contest atlanta raina flipped they
26226s	found the second round and the first map
26230s	well this was reigns mouth choice and
26233s	that's a
26234s	great start for them winning your map
26236s	choice now fusion gets a pick but
26240s	pretty good stuff there from the rain to
26242s	start
26246s	yeah they look
26247s	really good on the control center
26249s	kind of getting as much value as uh
26252s	maybe he wanted but
26253s	i mean hawk
26255s	doing one just on that doom fist
26257s	kind of curious if uh
26259s	fusion are gonna take them to a map
26262s	where hawk can't play doom we'll have to
26264s	wait and see that'll be just around the
26266s	corner got a quick break though give
26268s	everybody a little bit of time to have
26270s	some water
26294s	[Music]
26308s	[Music]
26314s	so
26317s	[Music]
26325s	[Music]
26334s	[Music]
26412s	so
26414s	[Music]
26440s	so
26444s	[Music]
26496s	[Music]
26498s	two shots dead on the ground we're in
26500s	the same pull up three rounds bro you
26503s	done we let a rain head pop so look out
26506s	when we in the zone don't play around i
26508s	got strap puts your back tell you now we
26510s	laying it down yeah bow bands up trapped
26513s	out i bring the doors gang up look
26516s	don't wanna fade and drop out got no
26518s	clout think smart this crucial crucial
26521s	we ain't no average usual no
26523s	we let rain ain't a savage who you
26529s	[Music]
26540s	all right okay
26541s	all right right off to a good start
26543s	against the fusion they want to knock
26546s	out another
26547s	eastern team
26549s	and they've already done it to the
26550s	dragons uh can they do it again
26554s	we'll have to wait and see well they've
26555s	done so dynasty as well actually saying
26557s	that three
26558s	teams potentially knocked out or the
26560s	atlanta reign still have to
26563s	to get to the finals i have to beat the
26564s	glads after this but the philadelphia
26566s	fusion not out of this just yet we are
26570s	going to king's row as our next map and
26572s	that was fusion's choice
26575s	yeah it is and we're not we don't have
26577s	any subs either so both of these teams
26580s	sticking with what they feel has worked
26582s	for them so far and i think that king's
26585s	row for philadelphia fusion does set
26586s	them up for some success
26589s	i think rain that does force them into a
26592s	bit of an awkward position when it comes
26594s	to the doomfist i think it's a bit more
26596s	predictive
26597s	with the rollouts that you can have if
26600s	they are trying to make sure that hawk
26602s	can't play that like you were talking
26603s	about before we went to break um but
26605s	then bella ria as well i think also just
26608s	this is a comfort pick for fusion for
26610s	sure
26613s	very much is i mean i just want to see
26615s	more out of mn3 as well like
26618s	most of the time it felt like he was
26619s	dead before the fights even started or
26621s	he had little to no impact bellatrix
26623s	wrecking ball was looking decent but
26626s	there weren't many two bright spots it
26628s	felt like on that map it got a couple of
26631s	well which was cool i like that so a
26634s	sombra though jaws like
26636s	sombra
26637s	i don't know i feel like we have enough
26639s	of a sample size now to talk about
26642s	sombra whether it's good or it's bad
26646s	uh i'm leaning towards the latter
26649s	personally devil's advocate in that
26651s	situation though
26653s	i will say sombra on that point
26655s	specifically when you have a zen there
26657s	aren't too many places where you can
26658s	kind of run and hide and get that hack
26660s	off of you and there's normally a lot
26662s	you're normally fighting around the
26663s	central column so everybody is there at
26665s	that time so if you do go
26667s	and you do get discorded you're going to
26668s	get deleted pretty fast but then that's
26670s	also on ultraviolet and og keeping that
26673s	hack target alive if you have an orb as
26676s	a moira in that situation you know maybe
26678s	a hack is coming or you can hear the
26680s	sombra like d cloak or whatever um
26682s	you can save the healing orb then throw
26683s	it out so that target doesn't get blown
26685s	up it is a it is pretty tough and it's a
26687s	lot of your fans or butts but yeah the
26689s	sombra didn't end up working out for the
26691s	fusion i can't imagine we're going to
26693s	see it here
26694s	um
26695s	are on the attack and fusion on the
26697s	defense
26698s	[Music]
26699s	no i don't i don't think we're going to
26700s	see the sombra i really don't want to
26702s	see the sombra again
26705s	it just feels like it's too much high
26707s	investment for the value
26710s	output right now that we really are
26712s	getting from some of these teams but man
26714s	let's see some mn3 ash like that's what
26718s	i'm here for as a philly fan is to watch
26721s	mn3 perform again on the ash yes please
26726s	okay well you're gonna get your wish
26727s	luckily uh on the defense that's good
26731s	sitting up on the high ground like
26732s	that's pretty disgusting we'll have to
26734s	see how they end up playing it and it's
26736s	going to be up to the rain to dislodge
26738s	that core i i've always loved the
26741s	either you play the zen in the break or
26742s	there's on the back in this situation
26743s	and then you're having your ash you can
26745s	sit up on the high ground discord
26747s	somebody mm3 throws dynamite just keep
26748s	shooting people and then you hide around
26750s	bellatory is shield and then you have
26752s	zest being more of a solo operator and
26755s	in that situation too with the with the
26757s	fusion comp
26758s	uh aim god's orb is almost permanently
26761s	on zest uh you can put it on fixer when
26763s	a dive comes in but zest gets permarob
26765s	in this situation on defense uh because
26768s	most of the well the rest of the
26769s	philadelphia fusions are on one point of
26771s	the map
26773s	yeah no that's so true though and you
26775s	can see how the setup is already
26777s	starting to work here for fusion you've
26779s	got bella strea playing a little bit of
26781s	keeper uh and the high ground and then
26784s	look at how else the rest of the fusions
26786s	kind of spread out it's up to hawk now
26788s	on the winston to try to dislodge the
26790s	sigma and get fusion to rotate to where
26793s	the rest of rain will be able to pick
26795s	them off just a bit easier but aim god
26798s	whoo
26799s	really nice sidelines for this zenyatta
26801s	here it's a naughty angle
26804s	with mn3 on this off angle um next to
26807s	him it's it's super tough for the amount
26809s	of rain to do much we see hawk going
26812s	down
26813s	bellatoria all he needs to do is play
26814s	back towards his batiste their name good
26816s	uh aim god gets a good sight line you
26818s	can discord the monkey as soon as he
26819s	jumps in
26820s	ideally here if you're reign i mean okay
26823s	they're actually i was gonna say ideally
26824s	you set up the tracer super far behind
26827s	try and get a pinch on somebody but it's
26828s	actually hawks switching over to the
26829s	sigma instead just going to play point
26831s	presence now
26833s	i like that that's smart from the range
26835s	you just want to make sure that the
26836s	fusion come to you because that winston
26838s	jumps and being the only one to initiate
26840s	there was gonna always be very difficult
26842s	yup crunch wasn't even looking at him by
26845s	the way guys back blown out like a glow
26847s	stick there atlanta rain now on the
26850s	point uh bellatri is the one to touch no
26852s	one else you gotta touch that's that's
26854s	the aim of the game issue is if you do
26856s	end up dropping down it could be pretty
26857s	easy to fear you to get cleaned up
26859s	although with venomous falling hawk has
26861s	to play a little bit more safe zest now
26862s	can go for a wrap around somehow mn3
26865s	dies no idea how that happened i had no
26867s	idea how that happened either please
26869s	don't say kai saluted to ultraviolet
26870s	we've already had one of those today and
26871s	that's one too many zest with a triple
26873s	kill in that fight to hold it down for
26875s	the fusion
26877s	whoa yeah that double pulse came out of
26879s	absolute nowhere
26881s	the rain did not look like they saw that
26883s	coming either as you can see zest going
26886s	through hotel whipping around sticking
26889s	kai and there was just no escaping from
26891s	that ultraviolet was already physically
26893s	moving backwards with kai in that
26895s	situation too so quick reset there for
26898s	the reign they did walk away with two
26900s	points though and they might cap the
26902s	third oh again this gets caught out i
26905s	just got off you haven't got much help
26907s	with a tray so that'll be instantly
26908s	deleted not a boost for the sigma as the
26912s	points gonna get capped if they're not
26913s	careful the philadelphia fusion need to
26915s	do something a pulse bomb to delete the
26916s	lamp and hawk to delete the rest of the
26919s	team goodbye mn3
26921s	and it perfectly said rose i mean they
26922s	already had two ticks coming into it
26924s	puts a lot of pressure on the fusion to
26926s	try and uh get that touch
26929s	well especially when you have this more
26931s	point presence oriented composition as
26933s	well you're really not looking to try to
26935s	make a huge hero play going into the
26937s	back line trying to take out the
26939s	zenyatta or the honor of the fusion you
26941s	just want them to come to you and so if
26943s	fusion are gonna go ahead and go for the
26945s	venus fly trap then yeah rain's gonna go
26947s	ahead and close the leaves on them
26949s	because just digest them fusion have to
26952s	come back and try to contest i don't
26954s	know where i was going
26955s	i like that i don't know i like that
26956s	captain
26958s	that's for sure there you go
26960s	there's plants
26962s	i love plants i study fish plants and
26963s	rocks let's look at the secretions
26967s	and now we're all studying overwatch
26968s	i'll do your tutelage
26970s	all right the atlanta rain do end up
26971s	using the transcendence counter that
26972s	fellow syria for locked hawks end up
26974s	going down fixer is anti-nade
26977s	plus a whole lot of extra damage does
26979s	end is the line good spot to be in
26981s	though if you're the fusion right now
26983s	you get to hold on to this choke point
26985s	so winning that fight it's actually kind
26986s	of crucial not only today bob they have
26988s	that
26989s	pulse bomb available to him it had to
26991s	rain a little bit worse for where got
26993s	nano coming up and kai's alt
26996s	yeah but the way that the fusion are
26997s	playing with the bob as well as the fact
27000s	that they've got the pulse bomb
27001s	available they get to just control so
27004s	much space i'm expecting mf3 to throw
27006s	that into the middle of the rain disrupt
27009s	them and then someone's gonna get picked
27010s	off by zest in the back
27012s	there is mr bob
27014s	and there is mr bob
27016s	you do me
27018s	over the shield a couple of spears sent
27021s	the way a fixer who's incredibly out of
27023s	position but apparently so is oh gee
27025s	zips to the back line that's a pulse
27027s	bomb kill he's one hp i should be able
27029s	to finish this one up no way he wins
27031s	that duel
27032s	pixel does end up getting finished off
27034s	in the end the philadelphia fusion it's
27036s	too split for them to really do much oh
27038s	god's on the plane oh he's not on the
27039s	flank anymore he's a spawn
27041s	i said 180 therefore
27043s	that's a rain flux coming up they've got
27046s	that uh pulse bomb
27048s	let's fix this now it's gonna be big
27051s	well i was laughing at the cart just
27053s	pushing aim god's dead body along with
27055s	it this ring captured the point off the
27058s	back of that one
27060s	yeah they got some great tools that
27062s	they're still looking at here rain will
27064s	have the flux and the pulse bomb and
27067s	fusion now look at the swamp that
27068s	they've made jaws they've got zest on
27070s	the hanzo now
27073s	wow
27074s	yeah he gets there's a lot of shield
27076s	pressure from the hanzo used the storm
27078s	arrows the one shot potential is
27079s	permanently there rather than being
27081s	there every now and then with the
27082s	railgun speaking of railguns
27085s	mn3 uh with the option uh not the old
27087s	sorry just the nanny
27089s	he goes one kill and that's just about
27091s	it i was good for the fusion to use
27093s	their alt there their nano boost because
27095s	it gives them a little bit more time it
27096s	gives aim got time to earn that
27097s	transcendence hawks got that blocks
27099s	already
27100s	yeah and that's the only tool that you
27101s	have to react to that flux with but if
27104s	hog goes in and uses it now and rain can
27106s	sniff out that they don't have that
27108s	transcendence available then that's a
27109s	great way for them to open up the
27110s	floodgates here oh kyan to take care of
27113s	zest with the help of venom there's the
27115s	flux oh fellas rear crunched and anna
27118s	wants to venom straight to the back
27120s	unfortunately yep aim god your spheres
27122s	got directed back at your own head nice
27124s	kill by mn3 takes care of venom but the
27127s	fusion with only a couple of volts uh
27129s	now have to defend the cart moving
27131s	around its final corner
27132s	wow look at this too just with another
27135s	switch up here it feels like fusion just
27137s	keep going through the rotation of
27139s	heroes available to them now onto the
27142s	genji so we'll be able to get to the
27143s	back line maybe deflect a few things but
27147s	guys this is too little too late
27149s	they have to kill hawk here otherwise
27150s	that fox was wasted yeah that was
27153s	oh fellas really gets owned when he's
27154s	trying to chuckle rock
27156s	i was there one big tool to stop the
27158s	rain from doing anything they knew og
27160s	used his transcendence like one and a
27161s	half fights ago zest oh kai shot a
27164s	couple of bullets in the ultraviolet i
27165s	think he got the reflect on the nade too
27167s	the transcendence for the fusion this is
27169s	an incredibly split fight but zest is
27171s	kind of controlling the high ground it's
27173s	difficult for kai to move forward
27174s	knowing that this is behind him so they
27176s	end up just
27177s	losing the fight and the fusion
27180s	he gets to defend again
27183s	yeah well this is big for the fusion
27184s	they have the nano they have the
27186s	overclock mn3 has been working up to
27189s	that over the last couple of fights kai
27191s	has one also
27193s	and i think there's more follow-up
27194s	coming in from the rain but with the
27196s	time bank that's left fusion could just
27198s	shut things down here
27200s	oh but not like that when venom gets a
27201s	pick
27202s	oh
27209s	i mean how else do you think that was
27211s	going to go uh the atlanta reign they
27213s	lose one of their main dps tools however
27215s	zester named god dealing with the og and
27218s	ultraviolet quite handily only the dps
27221s	just need a solid backline 24 seconds to
27224s	go for the atlanta reign they've used
27226s	their blade they've got nano maybe a
27228s	flux for this last fight but someone's
27229s	got a touch looks like venom's going to
27231s	switch to tracer to do just that
27233s	yeah that will at least get the touch to
27235s	come through for the overtime but reign
27237s	have got to get something done with this
27239s	nano and this flux if they want to
27241s	complete this map
27243s	okay touch foul
27246s	recalled
27247s	okay nano online venom dies to aim god
27250s	he actually just got kicked off the map
27252s	there is no way aim god just kicked
27253s	venom off the map they've got killed two
27255s	make that a third aim god please the
27257s	atlanta reign they used their nano hawk
27260s	didn't use his old
27261s	zest just flinging around his blade it
27264s	don't matter because the atlanta reign
27266s	just fell over in that last fight
27269s	hawk didn't get in a position to use his
27271s	flux
27273s	just kind of collab to the very end
27276s	yeah wow i mean
27278s	you wanted to see
27279s	rain get something done with those alts
27281s	but hey it feels pretty good if you're
27282s	fusion to just not let them use them in
27284s	the first place right
27285s	i mean
27286s	that's the protein powder difference
27288s	right there
27289s	ain't god's muscles are jacked in game
27291s	and out of game
27292s	man
27294s	i just heard the tracer voice line of
27296s	him of like her falling off them
27298s	and i'm like there's no way we've we've
27301s	seen a few um like silly players on that
27303s	point of the map before
27305s	we
27306s	was it earlier today i think it was
27308s	where the echo just did not have the
27310s	flight back up the the shift and you
27312s	just kind of just went into the dark
27314s	it is a a pretty sad state of affairs
27317s	ah yeah we've seen a few unfortunate uh
27320s	self-eliminations off the side of the
27322s	map
27323s	so unlucky but
27326s	good for the fusion to finally get a
27328s	chance to hold their own it took them a
27329s	little while to figure out what they
27331s	wanted to roll with to to get that
27333s	defense
27334s	um you know they started off on the ash
27336s	the tracer
27337s	with the sigma and then eventually
27339s	started to rotate over to something a
27340s	little bit more high octane with the
27342s	sojourn the genji and the doomfist
27344s	um they also have the autumn as well but
27347s	no no venom oh
27349s	he blinked underneath oh
27352s	oh so he must have
27354s	wow how did aim god get that with the
27357s	them
27359s	must have meleed him to drop him down
27362s	below the stage and then
27365s	the blink just secured the pick yeah why
27367s	do i feel like that i think how that
27368s	happened i think you're right or like he
27371s	triple play i think see touch payload
27373s	he's triple playing right and aim god
27374s	made him so that count the kill when he
27377s	hit the recoil and then he was already
27378s	off the edge so he didn't touch so it
27379s	counts as a melee kill anyway angle got
27381s	the credit and they end up uh defending
27384s	here is the offense of the fusion now
27387s	that's right doing the same kind of
27388s	thing setting up on the high ground kai
27390s	is playing the sojourn instead of the
27391s	ash this time which is all about point
27394s	presence venom playing this rather
27396s	sneaky yeah discord orb on ballisteria
27398s	gets a lot of free old charge up to 40
27401s	already
27402s	yeah that's huge i mean venom's been
27405s	building up with these pulse bombs
27406s	really quickly but this could be big
27408s	being able to get something like the
27410s	immortality field out of fixa early on
27412s	before they move in
27427s	might get bullied here venom's
27428s	definitely looking for it
27430s	almost to the pulse bomb already by the
27434s	way
27435s	uh zest has switched again off the hanzo
27438s	now to the genji
27440s	i feel like they should just start with
27441s	that
27442s	they should start with sojourn genji
27445s	doomfist it worked out for them on the
27446s	defense we're even seeing the swap over
27448s	the winston now too just get the full
27450s	dive coming in here for the future
27453s	it's pretty tough though as soon as that
27454s	bubble goes down you're just waiting and
27456s	waiting waiting for this cooldown to
27457s	come back up
27458s	and it misses the pulse bomb see look at
27460s	that you've got a position with a
27462s	winston but now you have to wait the
27463s	bubble
27464s	you jump and then you have to deal with
27466s	the sigma he's using the rock and the
27468s	other shield
27469s	it's really tough as a winston
27472s	maybe yeah played the doomfist
27474s	not sure that there's fellows
27477s	oh they're trying to find venom who's
27479s	used his recall already i didn't manage
27481s	to catch that can get the kill yes he
27484s	can
27484s	venom unfortunately not getting killed
27486s	in time yeah that's right have lost
27488s	their tracer but oh well now they've
27491s	lost that
27492s	well
27493s	that was a that was a yikes this that
27495s	was killed
27496s	climbing the wall no that was just a
27499s	creation to the top of the dome that's
27500s	what it was it just as soon as he was
27503s	climbing up the walls like i don't think
27506s	so
27507s	uh that definitely buys some time for
27509s	venom to get back on the tracer
27511s	so rain just holding their own here a
27513s	minute and twenty on the clock for
27515s	future to get any amount of progress on
27517s	this first point
27519s	time bank
27520s	doobie going down
27523s	blocks
27524s	on to og to keep them alive as both
27526s	fella syria and zest are trying to deal
27528s	with the backline of the reign
27530s	and now here comes the pincer maneuver
27532s	zest though runs straight into
27534s	ultraviolet biome and ends up going down
27536s	60 seconds to go for the fusion the
27538s	atlanta
27539s	are in such a powerful position not only
27542s	does venom have the pulse bomb coming up
27544s	they have transcendence overclock is
27546s	available and it's up to the philly
27548s	fusion dps to find something
27550s	yeah well i mean audrey could save this
27552s	transcendence as well maybe if you see a
27554s	dragon blade come through that could be
27556s	a great way to just respond but
27559s	fixer was trying to set up with a nano
27560s	but og actually kicked zest away from
27562s	the window so he couldn't get lost by
27564s	his honor that was incredibly huge by uh
27568s	by og 25 seconds to go nano blade is
27571s	coming up for the fusion and aim god
27572s	kills venom perfect good start now get
27575s	yourself on the payload zest is back in
27578s	the action nano blade is so close for
27580s	being unlocked boji does have that
27582s	transcendence if he wants to they could
27583s	even try to from the attack with the
27585s	just the nano
27586s	oh
27587s	they lost the nano on mn3 the blade's
27590s	five percent away but there's only two
27592s	seconds to go kai sitting three firing
27594s	off of the high ground and zest ends up
27595s	getting taken down disaster has struck
27598s	philadelphia fusion the atlanta reign
27601s	all they have to do is deal with aim god
27603s	now in the transcendence and the map
27604s	will be theirs they're even gonna flux
27607s	him because why not emmet three jumps in
27609s	finds two it ain't gonna work the
27611s	atlanta reign hold the fusion on first
27614s	point and find themselves at match point
27620s	what fusion lost the nano
27623s	oh my god
27625s	like m3 died when that was being
27629s	given over to him
27631s	the fact that you had to even use it as
27633s	a survival tool
27635s	versus an aggressive tool
27637s	that speaks volumes to how elena rayne
27640s	are controlling this matchup right now
27642s	it is theirs
27644s	it is theirs
27645s	potentially the worst feeling is nano
27648s	losing the nano like mid flight
27651s	you could give it to the genji you get
27652s	the nano played off for the winston but
27654s	they did choose the sojourn in the end
27655s	but it didn't end up working out maybe
27657s	m3 had like a sick sideline
27660s	well we'll never know
27661s	all i do know is that atlanta rain are
27663s	one map away
27665s	from taking this series and facing the
27668s	glads tomorrow for a chance in the
27670s	finals we're gonna jump to a break don't
27672s	go anywhere we'll see in a sec

27906s	so yeah go uh go pick that one up before
27909s	it disappears all right
27911s	that's the game at hand they're going to
27913s	rain apparently 2-0
27916s	up against the fusion about to knock
27918s	well potentially knock their third
27921s	eastern team out of the mid-season
27924s	madness they've done it to glads as to
27927s	uh sorry seoul they've done it to
27929s	dragons can they do it to the
27930s	philadelphia fusion now one map stands
27933s	in their way facing glad tomorrow the
27935s	chance of getting to the grand finals or
27938s	the finals not round
27940s	well i mean it's uh what no matter how
27942s	you slice it jaws this is just gonna be
27944s	a great third map either we get a chance
27947s	to create some history here atlanta rain
27949s	knocking out their third eastern team
27952s	like i can't i can't believe that
27953s	they're they're just like the apac
27956s	assassins over here i i wouldn't want to
27958s	face them that that just doesn't feel
27960s	great as a as an eastern team or
27963s	philadelphia fusion start their comeback
27965s	either way you look at it it's going to
27967s	be a good one
27968s	yeah i mean
27969s	look
27970s	fusion have been phenomenal up until
27972s	this point they just need to find the
27974s	secret sauce i mean they also have been
27976s	fighting through this lower bracket they
27978s	knocked dallas out they knocked mayhem
27981s	out they knocked the spark out in a
27983s	close five-game series
27985s	they got to be able to come back right
27987s	here right now we are going to route 66
27989s	which was again their map choice
27992s	yeah i mean
27994s	atlanta reign did get the better of them
27996s	on their last map choice of kings row
27998s	but maybe route 66 will turn out a bit
28000s	differently we still have no
28002s	substitutions for either side so we're
28004s	sticking with the same five for each
28007s	team that kicked off this match and have
28009s	been putting up some stellar
28011s	performances all weekend going over to
28014s	route 66 love to see the wrecking ball
28016s	here from bellissoria and i think a lot
28018s	of the fusion gets a play within their
28020s	comfort zone it really has felt like
28022s	atlanta rain has forced them into
28025s	uncomfortable positions where we've seen
28026s	m3 and zest struggle to figure out what
28029s	kinds of heroes they want to land on for
28031s	a lot of these compositions we've seen
28032s	them switch so much
28034s	um
28036s	i mean look at the different flavors
28037s	that we saw from just zest alone whether
28039s	it's been the tracer the genji we saw
28041s	some hanzo
28042s	i mean
28044s	you want to see them just kind of think
28045s	stick to something and and give it the
28047s	good old-fashioned try it feels like uh
28050s	zest is like one of my cats back in the
28052s	uk just
28053s	just circles the point where they want
28054s	to sit but they just they never do you
28056s	know what i mean like they
28058s	need the sofa or blanket or whatever but
28060s	they just never end up sitting and they
28062s	just kind of walk away
28063s	yep you got to make up your mind i mean
28065s	picking the tracer here is really nice
28067s	classic on a route 66 defense
28072s	then three back on yield faithful on the
28075s	on the ash you have to worry about kai
28078s	kai switching over to the so from the
28079s	sojourn for the first time
28082s	god that was gross he was dynamited too
28084s	and he was leaping away yeah that's a
28086s	good start oh gee does fall for that
28088s	rain which is not great but uh king
28091s	killing a dps like that yes
28093s	gonna put a little bit of a damper in
28096s	your defense here
28097s	well yeah i mean mn3 is switched over to
28100s	the sojourn actually
28102s	so off the ash completely just the one
28104s	and done
28105s	maybe the soldier will work out better i
28107s	don't know
28110s	what time will tell that almost worked
28112s	out in your favor there rose would have
28114s	been paid off in
28115s	ultraviolet has to use that lamp to stay
28117s	alive but having that high ground
28118s	position is so tough for the fusion to
28120s	to deal with look how much spam is
28122s	coming through
28123s	the high ground already zest trying to
28126s	weave his way towards ultraviolet but
28128s	ends up getting taken down by hawking
28131s	confusion just crumpling on first point
28134s	they do find the killer decline
28135s	ultraviolet of course it was mn3 and now
28138s	is a 2v2 it says bella
28143s	coming back just now this hawk and venom
28146s	they're so close to putting that payload
28148s	in let him just shut the point you might
28149s	be good oh not quite zest with a triple
28151s	blink and pulse wants a hawk and they
28153s	hold for the time being
28156s	yeah at this point i think that's our
28157s	vitamins to just get out of there that's
28159s	definitely going to get the chase down a
28161s	big reset here for the rain but the fact
28163s	that the fusion stopped them right
28164s	before that first point got unlocked is
28168s	huge for them defensively bella's really
28170s	gets a little bit less room to work with
28172s	as the wrecking ball but
28174s	maybe you're able to knock the atlanta
28176s	rain backwards in position maybe knock
28179s	them up so that you can get a big pick
28180s	from mn3
28182s	they're they're on the right track here
28185s	oh no that's such the car he already
28187s	used his dash there so couldn't get out
28189s	of the slam mines
28192s	and then three and zest
28194s	him work
28195s	template kill soon
28196s	okay
28199s	[Music]
28200s	okay well well now we're getting up to
28202s	the point where rain get to use some
28204s	ultimates you know you've got ultra
28205s	violets amplification matrix maybe to be
28207s	able to push the fusion back but they're
28210s	playing so far forward that if rain
28212s	decided to pop it at this first corner
28214s	then fusion just get to go ahead and
28215s	back up from all of that damage that
28217s	that amplification matrix could provide
28219s	but that might be able to at least open
28222s	the door for the rain to approach this
28224s	cardigan
28225s	very early dragons finds all of nothing
28228s	maybe a bit of a tag damage on that
28230s	straight look at him go
28231s	looks like a ferris wheel oh my god
28234s	i mean disrupting the high ground was uh
28236s	his goal and he succeeded
28238s	from a hawk who's he targets what's he
28240s	cooking don't know not sure who it ended
28243s	up hitting a rally for the fusion to
28244s	keep them in the fight but hawk finished
28246s	off fixer fusion their position now they
28248s	might have to use the transcendence to
28249s	keep them in there it is possible on the
28251s	floor for zest misses ultraviolet but
28253s	with og dead ultraviolet has no real
28256s	support to back him up only a single
28258s	shift the name god finishes him off 35
28260s	seconds to go for the reign and they're
28262s	struggling to find the first checkpoint
28265s	kind of going down again luckily hawk is
28267s	still alive but he's got no healers so
28269s	the reinforcements in fusion come back
28271s	just in time to put an end to it
28274s	yeah and they are going to have to try
28277s	to get back as quickly as possible rain
28279s	have to make some dire swaps as we've
28281s	got 15 seconds left
28284s	the fusion defense has been stalwart but
28287s	maybe the hawk diva and the ultraviolet
28289s	ana will be able to be what they need to
28292s	break through
28293s	well no support opens for either side is
28296s	all on those mines oh they do isolate og
28299s	he's in a whole lot of trouble nades
28301s	used defensively from ultraviolet to
28303s	keep him and og alive now this three has
28305s	to back off and then three is pretty low
28307s	they're still doing damage
28308s	both races dead mm3 full hp and they
28311s	just need to deal with hawks mate uh
28313s	mech and the matrix
28315s	ultimate on high ground takes care of
28317s	bellatoria
28318s	there's not a crazy amount of bursting
28320s	from the fusion so fellas really not
28321s	finding those health packs is bad news
28324s	and now the atlanta reign
28326s	is sticking into the fusion mm3 fights
28329s	yet another kill but hawk and
28330s	ultraviolet being alive and on the
28332s	payload should be
28334s	an easy push-in
28335s	aim god is pretty low bellatoria is back
28338s	but he's post and he is out of here the
28342s	atlanta reign to eventually find that
28345s	first point
28346s	that was such a great defense from the
28348s	fusion though that looks like they've
28349s	finally woken up a little bit and maybe
28352s	now that they have whittled away at the
28354s	time bank and given rain a little less
28356s	to work with for the second point they
28358s	can kind of keep that going to stop them
28361s	before rayner able to complete the map
28363s	the hawk
28364s	diva looks better though than what we
28366s	were seeing coming out from the sigma i
28368s	think the segment was just a little too
28370s	slow paced to be able to go toe-to-toe
28372s	with the bella wrecking ball but now
28374s	that atlanta rain can pick it up a
28375s	little bit they can go with that
28377s	momentum
28391s	look at the vantage point you have
28392s	beautiful tag team there from number
28394s	three and bella street self-destruct
28396s	launched him from hawk tried to go on
28397s	top of a gas station but i think a lot
28398s	of that was blocked by the fixture
28400s	shield and then just uh getting into
28402s	cover oh gee in a lot of trouble forced
28404s	above the transcendence to match aim god
28406s	and i know what the hawks not going to
28407s	do all too much as both trance is still
28409s	going on this with a triple blink pulse
28412s	bomb recall to ultraviolet now there's
28414s	not really many heels for the rain and
28417s	hawk has to be even more careful they
28419s	don't really have a leg to stand on
28421s	right now they're running back to the
28422s	mega health back room and just
28424s	staggering themselves at this point we
28426s	haven't been seeing not even a kill on
28427s	to the pilot diva no look at that zest
28429s	just zips right uh right back to the
28431s	rest of his team they don't need to
28433s	really kill hawk they eventually do but
28435s	the rain is just getting staggered
28438s	yeah they used so many resources in that
28441s	fight as well the transcendence the nano
28444s	the overclock it's all gone and so now
28447s	you're looking at venom to try to open
28449s	something up with that pulse bomb but
28453s	35 seconds that's all that the raid have
28455s	to work with and look at how
28458s	literal that cart has moved
28460s	that might help yeah og with uh
28463s	a few little orbs from cave manages to
28465s	find a one he does
28467s	pay for it though with mn3 popping that
28468s	over uh overclock
28470s	20 seconds to go
28473s	fusion on a
28474s	decent path for defending this point
28476s	they have rally
28480s	end up going down though didn't expect
28481s	hulk to be up in the rafters like that i
28484s	missed pulse one from pork but the back
28486s	end from the fusion forced to pop the
28488s	rally to keep them in this game the evan
28490s	terrain have the high ground and control
28492s	of the point but fix is just running in
28493s	there just steamrolling over the atlanta
28495s	right the mines end up clearing up venom
28498s	the reinforcements are arriving for the
28500s	fusion and the threes back on the case
28503s	in just a mere moment a self-destruct on
28506s	the point to keep the rain alive but
28508s	fixer is just permanently smacking hawk
28510s	around every three's here kills off the
28513s	enemy sojourn and the fusion are gonna
28515s	hold just before the second point
28517s	[Music]
28518s	look at that not super often we see a
28521s	round stop
28523s	on second but
28525s	huge testament to the defense that the
28527s	fusion had on that first point
28530s	and they
28531s	just rain they left brain with so little
28533s	to work with for that second
28535s	initiating looking way better for the
28537s	fusion i think they will be able to get
28539s	a map win here but who knows we've seen
28542s	some fuller holds happen before i know
28544s	we're not looking at like a like a full
28546s	hold because of first point but doesn't
28549s	mean that the rain are out of this one
28551s	by any means
28552s	yeah we have a much better defense we
28554s	see some crazy things over of course the
28557s	tournament so a lot of c9s a lot of
28559s	people jumping off the map so
28567s	just yet
28569s	um
28570s	it's always something that's in the back
28571s	of your mind
28572s	yeah it's not yeah it's something that i
28574s	do think about though that's for sure
28577s	well when you're approaching that as uh
28578s	the offense right you're like well you
28580s	know we it's pretty good we've got a
28582s	point in a bit right not bad not bad
28584s	but then uh oh sorry we defended uh
28588s	oh
28589s	benefit
28592s	yeah but i'm like oh no it's good it's
28594s	good it's good but then you go to the
28595s	offense and you start sweating as you
28597s	see the time going down like oh god we
28599s	need to cap a second the wind's kept
28600s	firstly we need to get to second point
28602s	it could be rather stressful and not
28605s	only that tournament lives on the line
28607s	for the fusion in this round
28610s	yep
28612s	that's right they cannot lose this map
28614s	or they will go home
28617s	and be the third team
28619s	to fall to the atlanta reign in the
28621s	lower bracket
28623s	definitely don't want that but
28625s	here's where the comeback starts
28628s	philly fusion
28629s	come on copium
28634s	where are you going
28635s	well he's trying to find the the mega
28637s	health battle all the way in the back
28640s	ideally wants to start with a dive but
28641s	because hawk is holding so far forward
28643s	is tough for the dirt
28653s	ultraviolet wasn't that situation
28655s	definitely spamming o2 with heels but
28657s	not enough for him to stay alive
28662s	maybe a bit out of loss of ultraviolet
28665s	to get the heels but
28666s	boy ultraviolet's been putting in some
28668s	work in this front line though almost as
28669s	nano already
28672s	yeah just how much he has been doing
28674s	pixar very far away from his ultimates
28677s	and god's in trouble not even looking at
28679s	venom not worried about it now he's got
28680s	a fixer in his back nano boost on it to
28683s	pork
28685s	pretty gonna do too much yeah i think it
28687s	was more to survive the engagement nice
28689s	this size of twitch being a little 1v1
28692s	but now fusion are in an awkward
28693s	situation where those supports can't
28695s	really peak with the with the fear of
28697s	getting anti-native speaking of which
28699s	kai and og take care of event three and
28702s	zest
28702s	the philadelphia fusion
28704s	offense here they're gonna have a
28706s	tougher time jumping through these
28708s	health bars however i say that as aim
28709s	god just comes up massive again and god
28714s	he's been doing
28715s	absolute numbers for the fusion over the
28718s	last couple of maps hawks going to be
28720s	here to contest for the time being but
28722s	in fact guess all the wiper bellis rio
28724s	fusion on a good course to take this map
28728s	they've got so much time four and a half
28730s	minutes to basically just get the second
28732s	point
28733s	and they've got ultimates to spare right
28736s	now bella syria just going to go ahead
28737s	and play
28738s	uh a little bit with the backline of the
28740s	atlanta reigns but aim god definitely
28742s	put in the work earned the transcendence
28744s	outpacing og
28747s	looking good right now for the fusion to
28748s	get them over the finish line and into a
28751s	fourth map of this series
28755s	watching two traces dueled as they get
28757s	infinitely healed
28759s	you'll get the one kill one day probably
28761s	not soon you've both got an orb nano
28765s	violet
28767s	yeah i mean that's possible
28769s	blocks
28770s	catches mn3
28772s	no saving him from that you don't want
28773s	to put the transcendence for one person
28776s	considering how much time you have and
28777s	where the payload is currently
28779s	allowed to reign with the man advantage
28782s	right now kai with some nice movement
28784s	use that power side to get up to height
28785s	avoiding those mines
28787s	post bombs traded organ zest end up
28789s	going down but the atlanta reign still
28791s	on a nice little bit of defense they've
28792s	got just got to worry about balasria in
28794s	fact philadelphia fusion gonna pile on
28796s	the pressure they can use that rally the
28798s	atlanta right now need to touch the
28799s	payload oh gee forced to use the
28801s	transcendence this is not good
28803s	ultraviolet maybe nano someone here
28806s	doesn't get a sight line of og to nano
28808s	him to keep him alive on the point hawk
28810s	is there instead kills off aim god so no
28812s	zens are no discords for either side
28815s	with og dead the atlanta reign in a
28817s	little bit of a sorry situation the
28820s	fusion their comeback may be starting
28822s	now bella kills kai and there you go
28825s	reverse sweep on the car to philadelphia
28829s	as they take the third map
28832s	all right
28833s	okay philly
28835s	they're still in this
28836s	they are still in this
28838s	fortunately they don't get their map
28840s	pick and as we're going to push next i
28842s	can only imagine what the atlanta rain
28844s	will choose
28846s	uh
28846s	you know knowing they don't want to give
28848s	them three infinite sight lines with the
28850s	ash but we'll see
28853s	well i don't want to fill the fusion
28856s	fans with too much hope
28858s	just yet but no it is still looking good
28861s	it is still looking good reverse weep
28862s	starts here can they continue we'll have
28865s	to wait and see range choice of map up
28868s	next

29154s	bella ceria on the wrecking ball
29156s	he's been a key
29159s	to success
29160s	for the philadelphia fusion over the
29162s	last couple of series and uh well you
29165s	know what
29166s	it could be
29168s	a success
29169s	in this series too if if
29171s	they reverse sweep the atlanta reign
29173s	it's very possible here is his stats
29175s	from route 66 only three deaths not bad
29178s	at all twelve final blows on top of that
29181s	looking great so far now the atlanta
29184s	reign it did get their map of choice and
29185s	they decide well we want to go to
29188s	colosseo somewhere you where you can
29190s	play the ball but not
29193s	not ideal for this map
29196s	no
29197s	i that's definitely rain kind of
29199s	sticking you to him and going well
29201s	you're gonna have to try to play
29202s	something a little different maybe we
29203s	end up seeing like a bellatria
29206s	i know we've seen a lot of different
29207s	looks from bellatria today the wrecking
29209s	ball definitely his best hero and that
29212s	stats card a really nice example of why
29214s	we ended up seeing that route 66 map
29216s	chosen
29217s	but also the choice for atlanta rain was
29220s	twofold you bring the fusion to a map
29223s	where the bellatria wrecking ball is a
29225s	little less valuable
29227s	but also
29229s	you can't pick new queen street you just
29231s	can't you don't do that against the
29234s	fusion
29234s	you give mn3 infinite sight lines on the
29237s	ash and that's no fun if you're the
29239s	atlanta rain so just just don't
29241s	yeah he's no but if you're anybody to be
29243s	fair
29244s	that's true that's where he got a lot of
29247s	clips from the other day yeah his aim is
29250s	exceptional
29251s	we'll see though or ends up going down
29254s	going on to colosseo
29255s	the atlanta reign i think
29257s	more than happy uh to be able to choose
29259s	this map like you said rose uh for those
29262s	reasons above
29263s	kai and venom have been looking at
29265s	rather clean this game however i gotta
29267s	just bring it back to hawk once again
29269s	just the consistency from hawk
29270s	throughout the entirety of uh the
29272s	regular season and these tournaments has
29275s	been
29275s	paramount to atlanta rain success
29277s	leading up to this point
29279s	yeah i know the you know the land rain
29281s	do have the ability to play gator as
29283s	well and we have definitely seen some
29286s	gator but i love the insight that
29289s	atlanta rain has given that you know
29290s	hawk is just one of those players that
29292s	not only has the versatility to be able
29294s	to quick pivot to things if necessary
29296s	but also you just
29298s	a lot of teams are trying to stick with
29299s	a core roster and really build up on
29302s	that to make sure that those individual
29304s	players have the flexibility necessary
29307s	in order to just make those flexible
29308s	picks if you need to but for the reign
29311s	coliseum is their stomping grounds you
29314s	will see them come out on the doomfist
29315s	they will have the honor to be able to
29317s	help bolster that up as well and despite
29321s	maybe reigns best efforts to limit the
29324s	wrecking ball fusion is going to try to
29326s	stick it to him and play the wrecking
29328s	ball anyway as bella soria rolls out of
29331s	spawn venom is already checking him
29334s	he just yeah perma marking bella here is
29337s	going to be
29338s	the game plan i think for venom hawks
29341s	going to do a good job and uh is the
29343s	doomfist just punching him away and look
29345s	at this wrap around from the rain
29347s	they've got the lucio fusion do not
29349s	target his fixer and aim god you see the
29351s	hell bars disappearing and
29352s	bada bing bada boom
29354s	both supports from the rain cleaning up
29356s	the supports from the fusion that was a
29359s	very very decisive fight i mean there's
29361s	only m3 left on the point and he's dead
29365s	yeah and this is where i'm really
29367s	questioning some things about the fusion
29369s	you've seen them struggle to find out
29372s	what kind of composition they want to
29373s	play and is this one team fight lost
29375s	enough to start
29377s	to make them question their decisions
29378s	again or are they going to just try to
29380s	stick with it and see if they can make
29382s	something work this bridge can be a very
29383s	powerful defensible position and if
29385s	you're able to start working up to some
29386s	ultimates then that might be able to
29388s	build up some momentum in your favor as
29389s	you start to take the ball back but rain
29392s	are up front they get aggressive
29394s	has to find something with this pulse
29396s	bomb
29397s	nice decent start from the rain
29399s	pulse bomb launched out hits the wall
29401s	ultraviolet with a nice little dodge
29403s	however amongst the chaos kai and venom
29406s	go down
29407s	unfortunately ultraviolet nano was a
29408s	little bit further behind than he wanted
29410s	it to be
29412s	oh she gets one kill but doesn't matter
29413s	too much okay the fusion in a good spot
29417s	with the wrecking ball now and giving
29419s	mn3 some sight lines to use the bob's
29422s	going to be nice out in that little
29423s	courtyard but atlanta rain they're going
29425s	to come back with a bang they've got
29426s	nano coming up
29428s	yeah they also have the meteor strike
29431s	hawk is gonna be able to be just super
29433s	survivable whether it's gonna be the
29435s	nano that keeps him up the meteor show
29436s	to get him out there's a lot of great
29438s	tools that the rain have here to
29440s	continue to play aggressive as long as
29441s	bellatria doesn't
29444s	you know do bella's real things in the
29446s	back line you see him waiting to roll
29448s	around
29450s	fusion have to give up the
29453s	point as well because of that however
29456s	slam onto ultraviolet is good enough for
29459s	a kill the atlanta rain splitting off
29462s	completely from the rest of their squad
29464s	do you see a hawk and uh venom off on
29466s	the sidelines guys in a little bit of
29468s	trouble transcendence for the fusion is
29470s	going to help them win that one out nice
29473s	setup from bellatria fusion had to back
29475s	up because valastro was behind rain but
29478s	they were very willing to accept hawk
29481s	into their open arms
29483s	just a little bit yeah venom will be
29484s	able to get back into this one a little
29486s	quickly even though he did just go down
29489s	but yeah that there's just gonna be so
29491s	much fighting here bellatria just
29493s	keeping everybody on the rain busy as he
29496s	keeps set
29497s	oh
29498s	just walked into that one yeah roger was
29501s	already so low
29503s	yeah any uh anybody who damaged her to
29505s	finish him off for sure pulse bomb just
29507s	secured it oh nice punch by hawk trace
29509s	is traded
29512s	every there's like small little fight
29513s	this is where these cops are just like
29514s	loads of small little fights bob ends up
29518s	launching himself on the point and it's
29519s	kind of pushing kind of the beat from
29522s	the atlanta reign didn't result in all
29523s	too much in fact it trapped og in that
29525s	small corner and he gets cleaned up by
29527s	bellatria fusion again the lead they're
29530s	in a decent spot they don't have to
29532s	worry about that beaks they did use a
29534s	nano but high ground is theirs
29537s	or it was theirs
29539s	jumped out from there
29543s	that's
29543s	the high ground does give kai some
29545s	really nice sight lines with its
29546s	overclock but it's if that's going to
29548s	keep it busy here i might not get a
29549s	chance to use it yet oh just actually
29551s	gets needed out of the sky somehow
29553s	overclocker has been used powerslide to
29555s	the back line and kai
29557s	sends the brick pretty low ends up
29559s	finishing off fixer
29561s	fusion in a decent spot 42 meters to 30
29564s	still just having the lead you're gonna
29566s	be able to get back in time you don't
29567s	have a lucio but bella sorry and zest
29569s	can contest if needed
29571s	oh
29572s	look at that the lights stagger onto
29574s	ultraviolet as well
29575s	uh it's actually going to cause og to
29577s	have to go back and taxi and forward so
29579s	elena reign can't contest this just yet
29583s	they've got to wait they've got to give
29585s	fusion some space and that's plenty of
29587s	time for fusion to come back into this
29588s	one five strong aim god also with the
29590s	transcendence on top of that
29592s	oh boy
29594s	i think fusion are set up pretty nicely
29596s	here to keep this lead
29598s	oh same setup surprised by those who
29599s	didn't go for the slam there but just a
29601s	bit of extra damage damage
29605s	wow
29606s	okay where'd he go no idea
29611s	just uh not even using the punch after
29613s	that kill onto mn3 meteor strike lands
29616s	on the top of aim god who ends up using
29618s	the transcendence they really don't want
29620s	this to cross that golden line but it
29622s	does anyway hang on transcendence not
29624s	helping the fusion at all as fixer ends
29626s	up falling pulse one wide for zest has
29628s	to recall to the rest of his team and
29630s	the atlanta reign now control the high
29631s	ground you give high ground to kai uh
29634s	you're in for a bad time
29636s	now that pick on the desk to open things
29638s	up which is absolutely huge yeah
29641s	amazon's gonna be able to get a bit of
29642s	revenge there onto kai stopping for
29644s	building back up to another overclock
29646s	but
29647s	i like kai with the
29649s	with the uh respect there
29652s	yeah
29652s	the zen some respect oh dear name god is
29655s	antique somehow kept alive for a lot
29658s	longer than he should have been he did
29660s	die to just the hawk punch but hawk
29662s	spent a lot of time trying to actually
29663s	deal with it
29667s	yeah fusion will be able to get the
29670s	bot control back in their favor mn3
29673s	should be able to open up a lot of space
29674s	here with the bob that's ready to go fix
29677s	it also could kick things off with the
29678s	rally but they're gonna have to wait for
29680s	aim god to catch back up bella i think
29683s	we'll be able to buy enough time keeping
29684s	everybody on the ring busy in the back
29686s	line you can see kai just having a spy
29688s	check back there like where is the
29690s	wrecking ball
29692s	oh that's going to take that as a ghost
29693s	sign they actually use the beat to try
29694s	and push on forward and ignore that is
29696s	through as much as possible nursery does
29698s	find a lot of damage rolling through
29700s	people actually earns himself a minds
29702s	off the back of it here's the second
29703s	engage from the atlanta reign this time
29705s	he's a nano onto hawk who's going all so
29707s	low losing his healers completely ends
29709s	up just getting shredded by the discord
29711s	orb zest and number three just turned
29713s	their attention to the doomfist and hawk
29714s	has got that damage resist from the nano
29716s	but it just does not mean a single damn
29718s	thing that is now in the spawn of the
29721s	atlanta reign and with three minutes to
29723s	go they might be able to take the lead
29724s	here
29726s	yeah i think they're going to approach
29728s	that not unless hawk can help it though
29731s	hawk is very close is going to be able
29733s	to get the contest sitting on top of
29734s	that bridge has the meteor strike now
29736s	too oh they're all trapped in a small
29738s	corridor kai didn't even usually use the
29740s	overclock
29742s	really nice uh use the meteor struck by
29744s	hawk still ends up slowing just a little
29746s	bit when you do crash back down to earth
29748s	59 meters to 53 it's close
29751s	three minutes to go now
29754s	that's really big though that elena rain
29755s	were able to hold on to the overclock
29757s	that's something that they should be
29759s	able to use as a zoning tool onto the
29760s	fusion maybe just be able to get that
29763s	lead back
29765s	because or i will keep it keep it sorry
29768s	i can i can't read
29771s	wait he's sleeping but he's standing
29773s	how'd that work all right car you know
29775s	overclocked by the three dozen they're
29776s	being stepped in the back line and dealt
29778s	with quite easily kai up on a height as
29781s	now is only two minutes to go time is
29783s	ticking and the fusion need to find the
29785s	win here or the fight to win
29788s	well they could be out of luck a nice
29790s	pulse bomb from venom equally nice from
29792s	zest ain't got once again using the
29794s	transcendence to save the fusion on at
29796s	this point of the map
29798s	they've got two minutes to go only a
29800s	couple of meters stands in their way of
29802s	taking at this a map nice little 1v1
29805s	ends up winning it they regain control
29807s	control the bolts
29810s	all right well atlanta reigns still have
29812s	the lead but not by very much and so
29815s	fusion they get to roll it i mean the
29817s	transcendence how does amgod keep coming
29819s	in so clutch with these to be able to
29821s	win fusion these team fights
29824s	i mean aimcod's been putting in so much
29826s	work
29827s	basically keeping up with the rest of
29829s	the dps that's super impressive as a
29831s	zenyatta to have
29833s	roughly you know 20 percent of the
29835s	team's overall damage
29837s	definitely keeping up with m3 and zest
29839s	here fusion trying to do the same thing
29841s	again slam earns himself minds is he
29843s	going to use him might not need to as
29845s	ultraviolet already dies but once again
29847s	the atlanta reigns saying the pace of
29849s	this fight fusion want to be able to set
29850s	the pace with the ball engaged but it's
29852s	just not working out for them at all
29853s	then losing these neutral fights
29855s	the amount terrain use nano on hawk send
29857s	him in bellatria sleeps in the back
29860s	and this is a problem now with a minute
29861s	to go and reign in control of the part
29863s	nearing this pod scratch mode and the
29864s	checkpoint this is a bad news the fusion
29867s	needs to come up with something big and
29868s	ces tried to contest but it just gets
29870s	dealt with
29872s	yeah that snipe from kai just to stops
29875s	us from even getting to the payload is
29877s	absolutely huge so yeah you see butt
29879s	scratch mode that bot's going to get
29881s	right back on its feet and going
29883s	and ky just keeping these long sight
29886s	lines in check below just has to slam by
29889s	but the sound barrier what a stick from
29891s	venom that
29893s	riley got used and he did absolutely
29894s	nothing hawk charges his punch off of
29896s	the bob meanwhile the rest of his team
29898s	are in a little bit of a sorry situation
29901s	violet got taken out by the mines but
29904s	it's 16 seconds to go and the atlanta
29906s	reign have a quite a sizable lead hawk
29909s	is going to go down pretty late but it
29911s	is now on the fusion to push over that
29913s	line wait what kind is still alive wave
29916s	venom's going to come back as well it's
29917s	time for an aim god they've got these to
29919s	be able to clutch only a couple of
29920s	seconds to go but no they can't do it
29922s	kai comes back
29924s	and with the help of venom just clear
29926s	the fusion from the point
29929s	not a sweat
29930s	not a bead of sweat on kai's brow
29933s	after that round the atlanta reign knock
29936s	out a third eastern team
29939s	in the lower bracket
29941s	and see themselves against the glads
29943s	tomorrow
29946s	wow impressive stuff
29949s	i think everybody had some philly fusion
29952s	hopium going into this matchup but the
29955s	rain
29956s	after their match earlier today
29959s	looked so good and they just keep the
29962s	ball rolling
29964s	uh they they get to move forward here
29966s	you know yeah
29967s	josh how did they knock out another team
29970s	what they're fighting their way back
29972s	they what
29974s	they want some of that prize money and
29976s	they want a little bit of that trophy
29977s	that is for sure
29980s	who just got knocked down to the lower
29983s	bracket by the san francisco shark they
29985s	knocked out the seoul dynasty an
29987s	unbelievably hyped team coming into the
29989s	midst of madness they knocked out the
29990s	dragons houston outlaws the atlanta
29993s	reign are on an absolute war path right
29996s	now
29997s	will they be able to take this one home
30000s	it's a question that a lot of people are
30001s	going to have on their lips can they
30003s	defeat the gladiators to go to the
30006s	finals
30006s	and face the shock
30008s	it's a tough
30010s	ask and one that we will have to find
30013s	out the answer to tomorrow but let's
30016s	celebrate the victory of the rain today
30019s	and our player of the match
30021s	that is
30022s	venom
30024s	you know we talk a lot about kai we talk
30026s	a lot about hawk ultraviolet og i think
30029s	everybody on the reign has gotten some
30031s	accolades here but let's
30033s	let's hype up venom right now because
30036s	boy did this tracer player go on such a
30038s	tear today jaws both series today
30041s	venom's really showing up and putting
30042s	out
30044s	yeah i mean
30045s	look zest has been performing out of his
30047s	mind
30048s	and venom just kind of one-upped him in
30051s	this series starts looking good and
30053s	having a good tracer player in this meta
30055s	is paramount i think
30057s	going into wrecking ball like that venom
30059s	knew his job really well checking the
30061s	wrecking ball a lot of the time just
30062s	assisting with the dives um when hawk
30065s	gets nat only jumps in on the doomfist
30067s	attach race near almost 50 percent yeah
30069s	venom had a hell of a game this match
30072s	yeah i mean uh okay
30075s	died a lot but i think that you know
30077s	when you look at venom overall as a
30079s	player and his impact in the game i
30081s	think you can't deny the fact that you
30083s	showed up in the kill feed a lot and
30085s	then yeah your amazing point about
30087s	keeping bellatria just in check that was
30090s	huge i think that's one of the reasons
30091s	why philadelphia fusion actually didn't
30094s	look to be in peak performance this
30096s	match is because of how well venom said
30098s	hey the wrecking ball won't be able to
30101s	hurt us if i'm hurting the wrecking ball
30104s	keeping that one away from our back line
30106s	yeah i mean you quite clearly saw the
30108s	philadelphia fusion's game plan was just
30110s	to send by the three around the back
30111s	every single time and then go for a slam
30114s	and engagement but the atlanta rangers
30115s	set the tempo and said well we know
30117s	bellatri is there venom's already scoped
30119s	them out like we know what you're going
30121s	to go for so we just beat engage hulk
30123s	jumps into the back venom see the check
30124s	and badass rio helping hawk get kills
30126s	like yeah the atlanta reign i think they
30128s	had a read on the philadelphia fusion in
30131s	that last map and ended up taking home
30132s	the dub
30134s	they getting a face against the glads
30135s	it's a tough ask they could do it but
30138s	it's they could one of the toughest
30140s	opponents out there like shock being the
30142s	toughest in the finals of course already
30145s	we're going to jump to a quick break the
30146s	desk is going to break down the series a
30148s	little bit more and round out the day
30149s	we'll see in a bit

30407s	what happened all right uh so that last
30409s	fight um
30411s	we i guess we're pretty much just trying
30412s	to get some trades uh i know kai was
30414s	like
30415s	kyle's gonna get like one trade and i
30416s	guess you just end up him and venom end
30418s	up just killing everybody so i mean the
30420s	game just got over there like we're
30422s	pretty much going next fight and then
30423s	they just wipe the entire lobby so yeah
30425s	that's just literally what happened yeah
30427s	it was pretty crazy and i mean it could
30429s	have been a cl clean 3-0 victory but you
30431s	know i mean you guys did lose route 66
30433s	yeah what happened there
30435s	um
30436s	i mean i'm like a known like route 66
30438s	specialist so i mean they just didn't
30440s	put me on it so if they want to lose it
30441s	it's fine like maybe next time they'll
30443s	put me in i guess uh so it's a coach's
30445s	fault yes yes like obviously
30448s	i told them to put me in they just
30449s	didn't so well well hopefully hopefully
30451s	tomorrow we'll get to see you on if they
30453s	pick route 66 maybe we'll get to see you
30455s	yes is there a chance yeah we definitely
30457s	will okay all right and also one more
30459s	thing so
30460s	this is facts so i've actually talked to
30462s	multiple coaches and players from
30465s	different teams and when they when i
30467s	asked them about atlanta reign yeah they
30469s	said that you guys were sort of like a
30470s	weird team yeah like in screen scrims or
30473s	like regular season you guys are just
30474s	okay okay team and then when it's like
30476s	tournament time you guys are just like a
30478s	completely different like monster so how
30480s	does that happen like
30482s	what gets you guys going during
30483s	tournaments like how are you guys able
30485s	to pop off like that i guess like
30487s	scrims in like regular season uh when
30489s	you win you don't get any money
30492s	so like yeah at the end of the day i
30493s	mean if you just win the tournament then
30495s	you get your money and your placement
30496s	and
30497s	it's much more rewarding to win then so
30499s	i guess we kind of just tried then okay
30501s	yeah true and of course lastly uh yeah
30503s	your your match tomorrow is going to be
30505s	against the uh the team the hat you're
30507s	wearing yeah
30509s	um
30510s	i'd be surprised if they could take them
30512s	out honestly really yeah yeah i'd be
30514s	i'll actually be surprised you're that
30515s	confident yeah yeah we
30517s	we know their weaknesses so
30519s	we'll take care of them all right well
30520s	you guys heard it first from gator and
30522s	the atlanta rain that is it for the
30523s	interview so let's let's send things
30525s	back to uh the three really really sad
30528s	philadelphia fusion fans
30533s	it's okay
30534s	it's it no it's okay i know it hurts
30536s	sometimes but you know it's just the
30538s	life of being a philadelphia fusion fan
30539s	you know just sometimes it happens like
30541s	that i told her we warned you
30545s	i just
30546s	i don't even understand
30548s	the final map
30549s	they even con no they they i don't want
30552s	to be around anymore no they sometimes
30554s	they just give up and stuff like that
30556s	it's just what it's not you it's them
30558s	don't worry about it you promised me
30560s	second you promised me i didn't come as
30564s	disappointment okay and that's why
30566s	that's where we are right now okay it
30568s	was fun we had a couple of map five wins
30570s	that's what philly does but then they
30571s	disappoint you ultimately you know i we
30573s	tried to warn you here we are you know
30576s	it's gonna be okay though there's always
30577s	next tournament where they'll get your
30579s	hopes up and then disappoint you again
30580s	they were supposed to go they were gonna
30582s	make the lower bracket run not atlanta
30585s	terrain no atlanta always makes a little
30587s	bracket run i feel he never does
30589s	i we want johnny help me
30593s	we tried dude we tried
30595s	there were so many excited fans in the
30597s	chat yeah and they're all just like you
30600s	right now despondent holding a hamster
30603s	just
30604s	utterly disappointed it'll be you know
30606s	johnny let you take the analysis away
30608s	i'll i'll console her okay talk about
30610s	the game
30611s	uh about the rain i mean this team is
30614s	sick uh really i'm just amazed by how
30616s	good the atlanta rain are so just let's
30618s	just go into the highlights really and
30619s	just see it one more time exactly where
30622s	oberle's heart broke
30625s	kai on this soldier spectacular player
30628s	really venom is having the torment of
30630s	his life lucio moira don't really agree
30632s	with it but okay if you're the third
30634s	place team in the mid-season madness i'm
30636s	just a washed up analyst what do i know
30638s	so just do whatever your heart desires
30640s	uh you know maybe the coaches were right
30642s	about this one uh we'll have to ask
30643s	gator about that one next time um really
30646s	though the philadelphia fusion
30648s	uh you played fury on king's row in your
30651s	last series like three hours ago um
30654s	now you played below zoria sigma okay
30657s	we've never seen before
30660s	interesting uh overly any comments on
30661s	this one i just i don't even understand
30664s	okay yeah no never mind yeah well he
30667s	didn't play some monkey here though uh
30668s	monkey and tuwannesen uh sigmo but okay
30671s	they they played the proper things on
30673s	this route66 oh i hear them
30677s	and that's the big question mark for me
30679s	and probably why alvarez is crying right
30681s	now
30683s	yeah there was so much but they just it
30685s	felt like they were countering
30686s	themselves before they even came into
30687s	this match like that first lijung map
30690s	all of a sudden m and three after the
30692s	first team fight switches off a hit scan
30694s	and goes to sombra and then on the
30696s	second god like doesn't want to use
30697s	trance yeah he aim god doesn't want to
30700s	save anyone with trans it just
30702s	it wasn't the philadelphia fusion we'd
30703s	seen so far in the playoffs and it's
30705s	kind of disappointing maybe they were
30706s	tired it has been a long run for them
30708s	but this it was kind of a disappointing
30710s	end overall to like such a great run
30712s	like maybe they were going to come up
30714s	clutching this uh coliseum but i think
30716s	this like final team fight really sums
30718s	it up like there is no reason that
30720s	atlanta reigns should have won in this
30721s	team fight yeah philadelphia fusion
30723s	should have won that fight they should
30724s	have come back at least a little bit
30726s	even if they'd fallen a little bit short
30727s	there it would have made sense but yeah
30729s	i mean if i want to be serious and don't
30731s	just joke around for a minute
30733s	there is like not like i have a degree
30735s	in biochemistry or anything but like
30737s	when you play a map five like that
30738s	against huntington spark and we both
30740s	went competitors we both played on stage
30742s	like you get an adrenaline rush like i
30745s	can't begin to tell you and you just
30746s	play purely based on instinct and coming
30748s	off that match as well you losing that
30750s	adrenaline it's hard to like kick-start
30753s	yourself again and be like
30754s	time to go again like it's not that easy
30756s	to just like channel that energy it's
30758s	hard to like get back into the groove of
30760s	things so i don't blame the fusion here
30762s	if they were a bit tired if they weren't
30763s	popping off like they were against the
30764s	hangers park it's really hard to regain
30766s	that energy especially when atlanta rain
30768s	is such a difficult opponent and i do
30770s	think i've said it so many times today
30773s	the tank flexibility i think he was on
30774s	full display especially on colosseum
30776s	yeah like bella he was forced to play
30778s	the wrecking ball because it was what
30780s	the philadelphia fusion did best but
30782s	playing wrecking ball on colosseum into
30785s	one of the best doomfist players in the
30787s	world it's pain and you can't just play
30790s	like bellows riazarya so it's a very
30792s	tough situation for the philadelphia
30794s	fusion i yes this was a pretty
30796s	disappointing performance but i don't
30798s	blame the players at all they tried
30800s	their heart out they got top four they
30802s	should be proud of themselves also like
30803s	let's put it in perspective of where
30804s	they were coming into this tournament a
30806s	lot of people were writing them off they
30807s	went three and three i think in the
30809s	mid-season
30810s	they lost to valiant and chengdu exactly
30813s	like they didn't make it they are the
30815s	best east team in this tournament of all
30818s	things so like it's not awful for the
30819s	philadelphia fusion technically yeah
30821s	seoul got two maps versus atlanta
30824s	you're gonna give seoul a consolation so
30827s	we got two maps versus atlanta i don't
30829s	make the rules all right i'm not i'm not
30831s	giving it to you all right yes atlanta's
30832s	had a crazy run but seoul should have
30834s	been better than that seoul should be
30835s	where the philadelphia fusion are it was
30837s	a good run it's okay it was fun while it
30839s	lasted
30842s	i wanna i wanna see i want my single
30844s	this is my time to be single
30849s	fusion fans i feel you i came to the
30852s	overwatch league with one team in my
30855s	heart
30856s	and this is what we came up with this is
30860s	what we ended up with future fans you
30861s	did this all right the fusion fans
30863s	didn't do this fusion fans were
30865s	believing
30866s	scott and johnny were trying to warn me
30869s	of this disappointment and i said nuts
30871s	to them you know we fusion is going to
30873s	wrecking ball through this entire
30875s	tournament and unfortunately
30878s	i don't know maybe there was something
30880s	in the water there was maybe there was
30881s	something in there
30884s	you're giving me all of my favorite
30886s	things right now but listen listen that
30888s	was maybe
30890s	my worst part of the day why don't we
30892s	talk about the best of the days
30895s	thing
30896s	moments i was trying to find a segway
30898s	there we got the best of the day stuff
30899s	and i'm going to talk about you know
30902s	fonder memories brighter pastures i'm
30905s	going to talk about this very sneaky
30907s	zest play
30909s	that they had in their earlier game
30910s	against the spark you see zest just kind
30912s	of hiding
30913s	hiding you don't know what's happening
30915s	look at that trigger discipline watch as
30917s	the tracer alpha yi walk by just waits
30920s	patiently alpha e does not spot zest
30923s	to walk by there goes uh super rich and
30926s	then i think he waits for just three one
30929s	more four
30931s	and boom he finds irony
30934s	sixer with the bomb
30936s	absolutely gets blown up and that was
30940s	that was my happy place let's go back to
30942s	my happy place those are better days
30944s	well i'm here to bring you another happy
30946s	place moment this is back when we fixer
30948s	popped off kind of but not really uh
30950s	this is back when shai was absolutely
30952s	dominating the philadelphia fusion and
30953s	we were worried that it was all slipping
30955s	away from our hands but the fixer anna
30957s	was here to fix it
30958s	and here he comes in with a clutch sleep
30960s	dart
30963s	intentional you gotta be joking people
30965s	are gonna say this was lucky people are
30967s	gonna say that it wasn't deserved this
30968s	was a hundred percent impressive
30970s	gameplay by you
30972s	stop that is calculated anyone says
30974s	shots shy down along with the entire
30976s	hong kong spark and that began the run
30978s	back for the philadelphia future hey uh
30980s	hey pixar um their uh sojourn had 65 of
30983s	their final blows uh last map could you
30985s	please sleep uh shy real quick okay okay

31049s	finished with our lower matches and
31050s	there you go
31051s	our winner from our upper bracket match

31058s	the finals for the mid-season madness
31060s	tournament now let's go ahead and take a
31062s	look at our lower bracket there you have
31064s	it atlanta rayne who are just victorious
31066s	over the fusion going to face the la
31069s	gladiators only one of them can move on
31072s	to the grand finals let's go ahead and

31101s	come back from the lower bracket and
31103s	beat seoul i don't know i can't go back
31105s	and look at the lower back they've been
31106s	so many good teams to beat so many
31108s	amazing teams throughout the tournament

31111s	spitfire in the opening round
31114s	another top three in the world with
31116s	chuck and the gladiators because they
31118s	couldn't beat london who went out in the
31120s	first losers background
