1610s	to the OverWatch World Cup online
1614s	qualifiers APAC Group B my name's Domino
1617s	and I'm your host today and I am joined
1619s	By the Fantastic pixie and Avril welcome
1622s	guys how are you doing today
1624s	doing fantastic this is the earliest I
1627s	have ever done a broadcast in my life
1629s	it's 5 p.m local time which is insane to
1632s	me usually we start at like nine o'clock
1634s	so I am as alert as ever it's fantastic
1637s	yeah this guy's never done an Nao EU
1639s	broadcast because you know then you'd be
1641s	you'd be doing it in the early mornings
1643s	talking some three Em's yeah speaking of
1645s	EU broadcaster we actually already had
1647s	the emec region play so I think we're
1649s	now the second region overall APAC you
1652s	know APAC Europe America we're like in
1655s	the second region to broadcast so yeah
1656s	World Cup 2023 back in full swing I know
1659s	online qualifies are here okay to
1662s	finally get to see some World Cup action
1663s	after several years yeah it's kind of
1665s	exciting right
1666s	I was just about to say that it's
1668s	actually really exciting to have the
1670s	World Cup back and look let's talk about
1672s	the tournament structure and what we are
1674s	looking at here for the World Cup now we
1676s	are today doing the online qualifiers
1678s	which we'll be going over this week and
1680s	next week so make sure you tune in again
1682s	next week as well and the top two teams
1685s	from Group B here at APAC will go on to
1688s	the group stage where they will verse
1690s	other teams to all battle it out for
1692s	those World Cup finals so this is very
1694s	exciting uh to see this starting up now
1697s	and obviously you know let's take a look
1700s	at all those teams that are playing for
1703s	Group B we have a total of six countries
1706s	that will be representing here at the
1708s	World Cup for the qualifiers and look I
1711s	obviously look we've got Australia there
1713s	I'm Australian I'm gonna be a little bit
1715s	biased they're probably my favorite here
1717s	but like what about you guys what are
1719s	you looking from these teams here today
1722s	I'm looking towards New Zealand
1723s	Australia you know honestly Thailand
1725s	India as well New Zealand Australia I
1727s	would say probably largely the favorite
1729s	year especially Australia given that
1730s	they are the only team in this group
1733s	that has a history of more extended
1735s	World Cup uh proceedings where they've
1737s	they've been to group stages before you
1738s	know they made the top eight before they
1739s	played a BlizzCon before
1741s	um you have Punk on that team as well
1742s	who's an OverWatch League player current
1744s	OverWatch League player and the rest of
1745s	the roster mainly made up of a high
1748s	level continuous team from contenders
1750s	Australia as well so you know it's it's
1751s	the teams that have the most I think
1754s	notable star power which New Zealand has
1756s	a few those players as well color hex is
1757s	a former OverWatch League player and
1759s	then India who is I think a bit of a
1761s	dark horse in this tournament because
1762s	there's a couple of good n a players in
1764s	that team but they will be on High pink
1765s	yeah it's always going to be a bit of a
1766s	challenge to get past right and I mean
1769s	for me this is like this is kind of
1771s	taking me back right this feels like a
1772s	bit of a blast from the past like I
1774s	remember covering the Pacific region uh
1776s	for you know however long because
1777s	obviously the uh the APAC group a is
1779s	like that's the Heavy Hitters right
1781s	that's the the regions of people know a
1782s	lot about that's where you've got China
1784s	That's where you've got South Korea this
1785s	is like everyone else this is the
1786s	Thailand Australia uh you know Singapore
1788s	I mean you just saw them on the screen
1789s	right but that's so it's it's
1791s	interesting to kind of be back to that
1793s	because
1794s	we talk about Dark Horses within this
1795s	region but like as a region it's always
1797s	been a bit of a Dark Horse and every
1798s	soft and you just get absolute standout
1800s	players I mean we all know about
1802s	Australia making deep runs into the
1804s	world cup over and over again you look
1806s	back at uh Thailand bringing players
1808s	like a poodle and patapan to the four
1809s	and also I have a British citizenship
1812s	I've got no dog in this race but I
1814s	realized that of the six countries
1816s	represented here there is only one that
1818s	Britain didn't at some point in history
1820s	control and that's Thailand so I'm going
1821s	to throw my lot in with them
1824s	fair enough look I have to agree we have
1826s	some big Heavy Hitters as you have
1828s	mentioned like Punk and color hex but I
1830s	think there's also there's a lot of new
1832s	players who we may not have seen a lot
1834s	from and I am interested to see how
1835s	they're going to go in these matchups
1837s	and look we might have some really
1839s	surprising players shine over this
1841s	weekend which will be really interesting
1842s	to see so let's take a look at what
1845s	we're going to be first watching today
1847s	so coming up on today's schedule we're
1850s	going to start with Singapore versus
1851s	Malaysia and then we've got New Zealand
1854s	versus Thailand so some bit of rivalries
1856s	going on here would you say
1858s	Singapore Malaysia for sure I mean
1859s	that's just like a very close logistical
1861s	Regional rivalry Singapore Malaysia
1863s	right next to each other in terms of if
1865s	you look at the map and New Zealand and
1867s	Thailand I've heard some good things
1869s	about this High roster but also looking
1870s	across the Thai Ross I'm sure we'll
1871s	discover them a little bit later on as
1872s	well there's a bunch of contenders
1875s	players there's a poodle coming back as
1876s	well a bunch of the players are from
1878s	crack and Esports who actually just won
1880s	containers Apex so very very good talent
1882s	on Thailand I think there could be a
1884s	very close race between our top four
1885s	teams in this region with maybe
1888s	Singapore Malaysia lagging a little bit
1889s	behind but you know we'll give them a
1891s	little bit of space here especially in
1892s	their first match to really prove
1893s	themselves and see how well they can
1895s	play today and obviously we're going to
1896s	dive into it more later right but but
1897s	that New Zealand Thailand uh like as you
1900s	just mentioned Kevin that's that's of
1902s	particular interest to me because I
1904s	think we are all looking at Australia as
1905s	like you know a bit of a shoe-in for one
1907s	of those two slots there is only two
1909s	slots though and New Zealand Thailand
1911s	both feel like they could be you know
1912s	they have quite a serious run at that so
1914s	that's where the scrum is really going
1916s	to take place the fact that these two
1918s	teams are going this one out of the way
1919s	very early on is going to set one of
1921s	them a real Cut Above in terms of their
1923s	chance to actually make it through those
1925s	two available slots in the group stages
1928s	yeah it might be a race for the second
1929s	place you know I think we all think that
1931s	Australia is probably the likely
1933s	favorite here they'll get one of the top
1934s	two and then personally for me it's near
1936s	New Zealand Thailand India one of those
1938s	three could be taking the seconds long
1940s	no well let's take a closer look at that
1943s	Singapore team and they're starting
1944s	lineup for today
1947s	so as you can see we have vital VIPs Ash
1950s	cane paper and cup is there any
1952s	standouts here we want to be paying
1954s	attention to I have heard of vital
1956s	myself I have seen them being played in
1958s	OverWatch contenders here in the
1960s	Australia region uh but yeah I'll throw
1962s	it over to you guys to talk more about
1963s	this team yeah Singapore has had a very
1965s	interesting journey into the World Cup
1967s	this year and they've had a bit of a
1969s	chop and change around the roster
1970s	notably I think the one big piece of the
1973s	puzzle that's missing here for me is
1974s	soggy who I I think is the best player
1976s	coming through from Singapore he's not
1978s	currently on the team he just won
1980s	contenders Australia on on a Honeypot
1982s	but so the Singapore roster has been
1984s	changed a fair bit over the past few
1985s	months and
1987s	um the current team Singapore roster is
1989s	having to sort of come through with
1992s	a bit less time I think the gel and a
1995s	bit less known talent and that might
1997s	impact their results so uh they get a
1999s	bit of a I think an easy introduction
2001s	today versus Malaysia which is probably
2004s	still a very good game but uh Singapore
2006s	you know the real test will come when
2007s	they face the other teams and that might
2008s	be a challenge
2010s	yeah definitely uh let's take a look at
2012s	that Malaysian lineup starting off here
2014s	tonight as well any thoughts on these
2017s	players yeah this is uh let's shall we
2020s	say this is a country that's had to dig
2022s	a little bit deeper than uh some of the
2023s	others in the pool here uh if you're if
2026s	you're a real like deep cut Enthusiast
2028s	there might be some names here that
2029s	stick out to you numenos uh being one
2032s	there but yeah overall I think you can
2034s	kind of say on paper you expect
2036s	Singapore to come uh come and be in the
2038s	better team just out of sheer roster
2039s	strength uh but this is a real test of
2041s	things and this is a nice early match
2044s	for Malaysia right because they're a
2046s	little bit lesser known you wouldn't
2048s	want to have to go right up against a
2050s	heavy hitter like Australia or even a
2051s	New Zealand uh Thailand India type team
2054s	here this is probably the best option
2055s	there is in the pool for them to uh iron
2058s	out any remaining Kings if there are any
2060s	still in this uh in this team just for
2062s	that very first match uh but this is
2064s	also the kind of roster where we kind of
2066s	see dark cores Diamond of the rough type
2068s	players pop out from
2069s	I'll speak to Malaysia a little bit here
2071s	as all uh commercially made up of three
2073s	players from fire Society who did play
2075s	in the most recent contenders uh APAC as
2078s	well for the summer series and uh they
2080s	went out I say fairly quickly like a
2082s	fifth sixth position out of 18 so a
2085s	little bit left to be desired there and
2087s	half the team roughly to make it onto
2088s	this roster a lot of unknown factors
2090s	here as well kind of similar to
2092s	Singapore where you have a few known
2093s	players and a lot of unknown players
2096s	um yeah this is going to be one of those
2097s	teams where you know with the fact that
2099s	they're a less well-known players on the
2102s	competitive side they'll probably
2103s	struggle more late into the tournament
2105s	but both will get a little bit of a
2106s	softball right up front versus each
2108s	other instead
2109s	yeah and as you've mentioned they're
2111s	versing each other I do just want to
2113s	call out because I don't think I
2114s	mentioned it earlier for everyone that
2116s	the tournament structure it is around
2117s	Robin so every team will be versing off
2119s	each other and it will be the first to
2122s	two of the maps here tonight so uh that
2124s	will be quite interesting and let's take
2126s	a look at the map Pool uh all going over
2130s	to the map selection so we will be
2132s	starting off with ilios which is a
2134s	control map and pixie and I were talking
2136s	about ilios before we started and uh
2139s	well is probably one of my most hated
2141s	maps to play on the game but that's
2142s	where we're going to start here this
2144s	evening yeah I personally don't hate any
2147s	Maps
2148s	um I I even I'm insane I actually
2151s	enjoyed assault bring it back
2153s	um but yes pretty standard uh loser pick
2156s	style floor mat and as you say first to
2157s	two uh the second one can actually be
2160s	picked from either escort or hybrid
2163s	excuse me so the only way we go beyond a
2165s	three here is if we end up going to a
2167s	hybrid and then we have a draw and then
2170s	we have a split map three uh so I was in
2172s	group a wins uh sorry team a wins map
2175s	one then we have a tie and then Team B
2176s	winton's map two that's the only way we
2178s	go all that way deep into that fourth
2180s	map I kind of hope we actually get to
2182s	see a few game Falls across this because
2184s	that always speaks to a certain level of
2185s	closeness
2187s	is going to be really important here
2189s	because there's six maps in the pool
2190s	that you can possibly choose from a
2192s	couple that we haven't had in this
2193s	year's competitive circuit whether
2195s	that's been in contenders or the
2196s	OverWatch league so check out Royale
2197s	watch my Gibraltar watch my Gibraltar in
2199s	particular which is how to change
2200s	recently on the live patch and yes we
2202s	are playing the live patch today
2204s	um so yeah that's going to be an
2206s	interesting shake-up um beyond that
2208s	though I mean there's only three maps in
2212s	the control pool typically in
2213s	competitive circuits there's five so
2214s	there's a little bit less variety there
2216s	that is also going to be I believe the
2217s	tiebreaker map if we go to a map four
2219s	push has always been
2221s	fairly I mean there's only three Maps
2224s	there anyway and all three uh reasonably
2226s	close in terms of what they bring to the
2228s	table so it ends up being that map too
2229s	and in my opinion is the most heavily
2231s	weighted map of the entire pool whether
2233s	regardless of what choice you choose
2235s	yeah yeah yeah definitely I I'm hoping
2238s	we'll see some very close matches and we
2240s	will go into further games because if we
2242s	don't we won't get to see a lot of those
2243s	push maps and obviously that's the
2245s	latest game mode that has come out so
2246s	I'm sure we would like to see some of
2248s	those matchups there for push but we
2251s	will head in to our first map I believe
2254s	the teams are almost ready they're oh
2256s	actually I've just been informed we're
2258s	going to head off to an ad break and
2259s	give those teams a little bit more time
2261s	to set up and get ready so don't go
2263s	anywhere we'll be right back
2264s	[Music]
2277s	you asked we listened the mcfeast is
2280s	back in all its beefy salady saucy story
2283s	value means more at macca's so grab a
2285s	mcfeast lunch deal now for only 5.95

2564s	with all our players in the lobby ready
2567s	to go now while we're waiting for them
2569s	to make sure they're all ready and set
2572s	up we were looking over some of the
2573s	upcoming matches we are going to get to
2576s	experience this weekend and next weekend
2578s	any specific matches you guys are
2580s	looking forward to
2582s	New Zealand Australia trans-testinal
2584s	rivalry on day six the final day so we
2586s	have to wait all the way to the end to
2587s	actually get to that one but I think
2588s	that'll be the highlight of the week or
2590s	the two weeks that we have here for sure
2592s	but um I think any of the games where
2594s	you know Australia versus Thailand
2596s	tomorrow should be very interesting I'm
2598s	already expecting that New Zealand time
2599s	today should be pretty explosive
2601s	um but I think this Thai Ross has a lot
2603s	to prove him but only two
2605s	available teams to go through I I think
2607s	your score line needs to be pretty good
2609s	here as well because there's a
2610s	possibility that a team does go five and
2611s	zero but if they fail that I think the
2614s	minimum viable score is probably going
2616s	to be a at least three wins to two
2618s	losses with some tie Breakers in there
2620s	four wins you'd start to feel really
2622s	safe but anything below that I think if
2624s	you only manage two wins here you're
2626s	basically out so very competitive
2627s	bracket for sure especially when I think
2629s	there's at minimum maybe four
2630s	competitive teams yeah and you're seeing
2632s	uh well the Thailand roster there it's
2634s	It's the Return of the prodigal son a
2636s	Pluto and uh some of you fans may
2640s	remember Rod tongue as well uh so you
2643s	know there's some questions I guess
2644s	around a Pluto whether or not he's still
2645s	got it uh and also shifting over to the
2647s	support role he has mostly been known as
2650s	a DPS player in the past so be
2652s	interesting to see uh what kind of
2653s	dynamic that brings but obviously in
2655s	that support position what he can bring
2656s	is a wealth of experience a potential
2658s	shot calling and that can really Elevate
2660s	the rest of your team that's uh maybe a
2662s	bit of a Hidden Gem in that Thai roster
2664s	Beyond just the player's skill directly
2666s	so Thailand in general uh sort of kind
2669s	of piggyback off the point about
2671s	Australia really Thailand versus any
2672s	team to me is quite interesting uh
2675s	because I mean they're like the biggest
2677s	swing Factor team here I feel like they
2679s	could absolutely bottom out during this
2681s	tournament and go nowhere at all or they
2683s	could absolutely soar up take that
2684s	second spot even tickle Australia for a
2686s	win uh who knows
2688s	yeah I mean Thailand is is mostly
2691s	comprised of Team Kraken members
2692s	cracking Esports and again they won the
2694s	most recent contenders season in summer
2696s	series in Apex so I mean uh there's a
2698s	lot of talent there high vision is super
2700s	strong I mean one of the best players
2702s	that didn't end up on this roster is
2703s	yoshinoy toucan that's because he's
2704s	underage so they actually missed out on
2706s	like kind of the current top player in
2708s	Thailand just on age alone but the rest
2710s	of the players especially you know a
2711s	poodle can swap between both DPS and
2713s	support we've seen that he'll probably
2715s	only play the support this time around
2716s	but Ace and high Vision are very good
2718s	yeah switching over to New Zealand uh if
2722s	we take a look at their roster they have
2723s	some obviously very key players here I'm
2726s	sure many people have heard of color hex
2728s	used to play in the OverWatch League
2730s	probably one of our biggest Imports over
2732s	there uh quite a lineup here as well
2735s	you've got par Jacob Finn and August 2
2738s	have all been playing in contenders
2739s	these are some really strong contenders
2741s	here from the New Zealand team as well
2744s	start on this roster by saying that J
2746s	cap is
2748s	um coming in as definitely the best tank
2750s	in New Zealand at the time at the moment
2752s	I think this was a guarantee on this
2754s	roster next to color hex but color hex
2756s	importantly is doing a little bit of a
2758s	roll software and what I mean by that is
2760s	he won the most recent contenders season
2763s	on Honeypot and condensed Australia on
2765s	support so he actually rolls up from DPS
2767s	and then at 1.2 tank to play in the I
2770s	believe summer
2771s	summer series last year which was uh or
2773s	Bay size last year maybe and that was a
2775s	complete jungle we met it and then most
2777s	recently this year he rolls up to
2778s	support and now he's going to go back to
2780s	DPS just for the World Cup it'll likely
2783s	still be on support for uh the upcoming
2786s	APAC Eastdale open so he'll be he'll be
2788s	sort of jumping back and forth between
2789s	support and DPS depending on which event
2791s	he plays in I think that might impact
2793s	his performance and practice level a
2795s	little bit hard didn't play in the most
2797s	recent Contender season so there's some
2799s	question marks there but did look pretty
2800s	reasonable in the past seasons and
2802s	August is currently top two as well in
2804s	in containers Australia so he's on form
2810s	play all the roles because we've always
2812s	seen him as a DPS player I feel like he
2814s	needed to come out be like no no I can
2815s	do them all just watch all three now
2818s	officially
2820s	Crown right
2823s	definitely uh so while we're still just
2826s	waiting for everyone to get all cozy
2828s	daughter up in that Lobby and ready are
2829s	there any other teams or any other
2831s	players we would like to talk about for
2834s	these uh Group B stage
2837s	uh pummy Iron Man and Akash from India I
2839s	think of the notable players on that
2840s	team I think a lot of the na fans will
2842s	sort of be able to recognize especially
2844s	upon me from trick room who did really
2845s	well in the prime earlier this year uh
2847s	so you know that is going to be an
2850s	interesting look and that's why I think
2851s	India could be a potential Dark Horse
2852s	but this team is most likely going to
2855s	end up playing on PING so there are some
2857s	question marks there
2859s	and it looks like we are getting ready
2861s	to go into the map now as we head on
2864s	over to beautiful ilios in Greece I'm
2866s	going to leave you guys with Avril and
2868s	pixie who will take you through this
2870s	match go away the boys
2873s	[Music]
2875s	it's good to be back as well
2877s	it's scenic
2878s	it's frankly gorgeous If This Were a
2882s	real holiday destination
2884s	I wouldn't be able to afford it
2887s	true yeah
2890s	just need to work 21 hours instead of
2891s	time to help you a lot really would just
2895s	Elevate yeah my bootstraps aren't long
2896s	enough as it currently stands I also
2898s	wasn't showing you said it's good to be
2900s	back I don't know you mean in general
2901s	back on Elias I'm in back out of jail
2904s	back in civilian Society
2907s	yeah yeah that's right because you're
2910s	not an agency
2911s	that's actually completely true let's
2914s	roll straight out let's roll straight
2916s	out on to the game and I'm gonna be
2919s	seeing a I think very sanded Lucia Mora
2921s	juice or natural coming through from
2923s	Singapore slightly less standard Jungle
2925s	Queen conversation does have the Cassidy
2926s	in play that's gonna be interesting
2927s	Cassie is a little bit different on the
2929s	match yeah it's gonna make the
2932s	difference it's gonna say a little bit
2933s	dead on this patch getting walled in on
2935s	the point there and just not able to
2936s	slip his way back to Safety in the same
2938s	way that numenaz was that gives
2940s	Singapore a bit of an early advantage on
2942s	the point
2945s	oh dogs let's see if Malaysia makes any
2947s	sort of changes here I think the reaper
2948s	is a little bit more congruent with
2950s	where the current meta is the Sombra is
2952s	going to give you a little bit of that
2953s	extra dye Factor as well yeah John
2955s	coming did get nerfed on this patch so
2957s	maybe a little bit more difficult to
2958s	play you have to imagine now Singapore
2959s	should do well with the remote Ash came
2961s	in a little bit of trouble early on yeah
2962s	really feeling the heat from that Reaper
2964s	had to back out of the point they're
2965s	still able to follow it up
2967s	to 003 getting around the side to
2968s	collect that tank kill and now Singapore
2970s	a little bit headless getting the kill
2972s	return on the reaper does keep them in
2974s	the fight but with the point belonging
2976s	to Malaysia and the extra kills coming
2978s	through that's gonna nicely even out
2979s	percentages for them and let them pull
2981s	ahead actually
2982s	yeah we haven't seen a single ultimate
2984s	come through yet numino's currently
2985s	closes on 90 Plus
2987s	let's have the EMP coming on from j003
2989s	and for Malaysia I should come back
2991s	after changing a single piece of that
2993s	comp
2994s	so looking forward to the next fight
2996s	being Mo CA coalescence trade and I'd
2998s	like to see if jw3 can get a bit of a
3001s	setup here because you can cancel that
3002s	call with the EMP and that would be
3003s	pretty bad for baby certainly an
3005s	opportunity representing he might want
3007s	to save it for a sound barrier but it
3008s	doesn't really matter just wants to pop
3009s	it in straight away not looking to
3010s	cancel they just get an early killer to
3012s	Ash Kane makes this a pretty lean fight
3014s	in terms of ultimate usage for Malaysia
3016s	here finding VIPs as well forced Retreat
3017s	from Singapore starting to pull
3019s	comfortably ahead on percentage and on
3021s	ultimates now
3023s	foreign
3026s	just EMP alone
3028s	ends up coming through destroys Ash Kane
3030s	no response from Singapore way too quick
3033s	on their Kiln to Ash King so not really
3034s	much to Singapore could do Malaysia now
3036s	running very far ahead 60 to 16 still
3040s	plenty to play through here as well
3041s	double support opens on life of both
3043s	teams it's gonna be a win for the
3045s	annihilation oh cop going down early
3047s	that means no sound barrier for
3048s	Singapore Malaysia have that advantage
3050s	and they lean on it they haven't
3052s	actually collected any other kills just
3053s	yet VIPs getting low but able to pop the
3054s	blizzard and go cold about it fantasy
3056s	down and Game Pro dude that's a two for
3059s	one trade for Singapore and that's an
3060s	important point to capture now rounding
3062s	the bend of 85 Singapore looking to
3065s	clear off the last few members here
3066s	numenos we're going to go down Gemini
3068s	either gonna get out or die and it's
3070s	going to be the ladder 90 to Malaysia
3072s	but Singapore back in control
3074s	a little bit of extra staggering in
3075s	there JW looking for a little bit more
3077s	extra charge Malaysia will get up
3078s	towards 90. so anything with a 90 after
3081s	what there's like three fights now two
3082s	fight wins realistically two fight
3084s	losses for Malaysia looking like pretty
3086s	decent distance
3087s	Singapore didn't have to really spend
3088s	for this in for Malaysia you can cycle
3090s	straight back into EMP here cup is the
3092s	only factor to consider the only thing
3094s	that can really hold up
3096s	and the EMP does come through yeah I'm
3098s	gonna have to time that right without
3099s	sound barrier it's actually going to be
3101s	gamepro going in first that's already a
3103s	quick pick up two members of Singapore
3105s	even the dust there the sound barrier
3107s	not enough to rescue them death Blossom
3109s	out from vital not pulling enough weight
3111s	unfortunately and it's gonna be Malaysia
3113s	getting the point back under their
3114s	control 90 already Singapore they might
3117s	try and store this one out but they're
3118s	not going to get a proper fade in
3120s	well they can get a couple members on
3121s	they're because of his own 10 away
3127s	and isn't currently able to roll on top
3130s	of the point yeah vital barely got the
3131s	touch on there with the raid form and
3133s	immediately pays for it with his life
3134s	the rest of Singapore trying to muster
3137s	up the manpower to get to the point but
3138s	ashken already low as it gets on hacked
3139s	again gonna go down vibson's there with
3141s	him with paper at his back but paper
3143s	looking to get cut off behind him with
3145s	these dps's getting deep out of the
3147s	support line cut under a similar amount
3148s	of pressure it's going to be VIPs down
3150s	now cut dusted off and paper soon to
3152s	follow that'll be Malaysia picking up
3154s	the first point of control
3156s	and you see the EMP differences are
3157s	coming through I think both EMP fights
3159s	are huge for Malaysia especially the
3161s	final one they already had 90 EMP on
3163s	point two died before the sound barrier
3166s	came on through a sofa Gemini
3167s	unfortunately not gonna be quick enough
3168s	to save too many people there to be fair
3170s	that a damage Upper from Malaysia was
3172s	intense stuff that double dps's went
3174s	down
3175s	from that fantasy the actual Rampage you
3179s	have to be considered enough falling off
3180s	the map but the extra isil actually
3182s	blocks him enough that he only needs to
3184s	catch Ash Kane or a couple members and
3186s	found down 10 to cap Singapore not a
3190s	great composition to touch they're not
3192s	playing a dive stopping over to the ball
3193s	instantly hacked vital dying as soon as
3196s	reform is over for the touch
3198s	that'll be a difficult round good start
3199s	for Singapore in terms of opening
3201s	neutral but they couldn't hold on
3202s	afterwards
3203s	love to see how well they pull it off
3205s	this time vital starting off on the
3207s	reaper this time
3209s	and just taking their time
3212s	info dude as well
3214s	so that's a much better choice again
3216s	notably he's not on the Cassidy for the
3217s	neutral last time
3219s	all particularly the right choice giving
3220s	you no countering any dive there
3223s	also different rollout strategies here
3225s	Singapore going and prioritizing the
3227s	mega factor I take the one away from jw3
3229s	yeah we're sort of hanging around their
3231s	backside trying to go for a manual hack
3232s	on battlehood to get low but they
3233s	weren't able to confirm and then
3234s	Malaysian just sort of uh a little bit
3237s	pincered in Singapore looking pretty
3239s	comfortable now collecting another and
3242s	this should be the first point going
3243s	their way as well so once again
3244s	performing nicely in the neutral fight
3246s	I'm a little surprised that uh you know
3249s	Malaysia didn't opt for the coast side
3251s	rollout as well I mean fighting for the
3253s	mega pack should be very important given
3254s	that you are running a Sombra and a lake
3256s	to the party then on one Singapore set
3259s	up
3260s	some decent long range burst damage some
3262s	poke in general is going to make it very
3264s	hard for the queen fantasy
3265s	if they do too much about it
3268s	already isolated fantasy is going to go
3270s	down here yeah it's already a
3271s	devastating start here so Singapore
3273s	looking to convert another one it's
3275s	Malaysia in full Retreat losing a couple
3277s	on the way out game pro Duke gonna go
3279s	down Gemini and numinals look like
3281s	they've made it to Safety in g003
3283s	actually switching off the Sombra now
3284s	not getting the mileage out of it
3287s	I think May is really important for some
3289s	of these neutral battles Sombra was also
3291s	fine but they're really far behind now
3292s	and jw3 didn't really have a whole
3294s	charge
3295s	you need a little bit quicker to charge
3297s	on the EMP and you remember Lighthouse
3298s	he basically had the EMP by that second
3300s	fighter some not so much quality
3302s	licenses are available yeah vital is
3304s	super low there that coalescence was you
3306s	know necessary but I think it was also
3308s	partially pulled out just because vital
3309s	was so low first little ticket that was
3311s	used to top them off but that has made
3313s	Singapore are able to hold Malaysia
3315s	quite far forward that being said no
3317s	casualties means Malaysia have an
3318s	opportunity to bounce back in now vital
3320s	going in oh that follows it up very
3323s	quickly that's the back line done right
3324s	it's Malaysia we're trying to find a
3327s	fight of Their Own
3329s	just to further clean up through here
3331s	vital brilliant number of kills coming
3332s	through coalescence Dragon strike two
3334s	ultimates four it was a one Trader but
3337s	effective enough that Singapore can
3338s	definitely get the 90 here they can
3340s	secure the next fight it's all Malaysia
3342s	I'm running out of options they don't
3343s	have a lot to plan through the Rampage
3345s	can be easily counted by the sound
3346s	barrier as well
3348s	it's gonna say someone like game produ
3350s	to find that backline death Blossom with
3352s	him down inside Malaysia can they even
3353s	afford to fully reset yeah getting
3355s	really different really aggressive there
3357s	is Ash game but honestly he's got the
3359s	ultimate to back it up in their Nemesis
3360s	form he might as well fantasy is already
3362s	down just taking the fight forcing the
3364s	issue the rest of the team was happy to
3366s	bounce past that may wall from the jw3
3368s	didn't slow Singapore down at all
3370s	hundred to zero to tie up the mask
3373s	yeah really quick really profoundly
3376s	one-sided as well
3378s	now you have
3381s	a what was looking like a little bit
3383s	more of a struggling Singapore on round
3384s	one coming through much stronger around
3385s	two I think again a better roll out
3387s	had they come figured out once again
3389s	Malaysia that has to juggle their
3391s	composition a little bit more what are
3392s	we trying to play here what do we really
3394s	want to do here
3396s	and this is also a situation where I
3398s	don't know I think they I think you can
3399s	run them a but I didn't mind the Sombra
3401s	either especially for these control Maps
3404s	they're going to go back over towards me
3406s	they're really interested in fighting
3407s	for that early May War battle you
3410s	actually see and thinking a lot of now
3412s	live patch comps if you're running the
3414s	Lucio Mora you even just forego the May
3416s	in general for something like a soldier
3417s	a little bit more
3419s	effective on the map vital staying on
3420s	the Hanzo for this map though
3423s	and I don't blame him well it's an
3425s	absolute charm for Singapore on the last
3426s	map though ruins is a bit of a different
3428s	Beast for snipers
3430s	Malaysia getting the health pack room
3432s	early though
3433s	got the May there to potentially lock
3435s	Singapore either in or out of it
3437s	depending on how things proceed and
3438s	there we go try to get the guy slate
3439s	onto Ash Kane the rest of the team
3441s	though following around to back him up
3442s	haven't been able to get the damage onto
3444s	ashkay numen I was getting a little bit
3445s	low Malaysia pulled back to the health
3447s	pack Singapore they're wrapping around
3448s	they actually want to start getting
3449s	boots on the points
3451s	more casualties just yet
3455s	can't quite make it through in the Gap
3458s	in the wall two of the play before as
3460s	soon as the cap opens I mean Malaysia
3462s	will steal away from the cap but not for
3464s	long yeah game produced going down
3466s	fantasy looking to follow and that's
3468s	going to be Singapore as you say
3469s	stealing that point straight back off
3471s	Malaysia
3474s	now early ultimates online for Singapore
3476s	going the next round here typically you
3478s	expect the two more is to be fairly even
3481s	JW again just uh on the hero roulette at
3485s	the moment now it's Genji's turn to come
3486s	through if you're going to play
3487s	projectile you need to be going towards
3489s	an echo and said Genji doesn't make a
3491s	lot of sense unfortunately
3492s	a laser are going to be we find it quite
3495s	hard to buy themselves back into despite
3496s	one Singapore style rotating ultimates
3500s	again on
3504s	the way around you know how the saying
3506s	goes at any rate that's a three for nine
3508s	well three for one just now for
3510s	Singapore so again pulling ahead very
3511s	comfortably starting to look a little
3513s	bit more like ruins than lighthouse
3516s	this doesn't really end for Singapore as
3518s	again we'll be rotating to more
3520s	ultimates Malaysia's still lagging
3521s	behind
3523s	everything that they can use
3525s	plenty for Singapore to counter with
3528s	the only thing that Malaysia has is a
3530s	buffer is that extra 15 sandwich they'd
3531s	actually buy them a little bit because
3532s	football will be over 60 by now that's
3535s	not a bad catch in the Rampage going
3537s	straight in for it with the coalescence
3539s	at the back now sound barrier to follow
3541s	up in Malaysia actually looking okay
3543s	here ashgate and still to pop his
3545s	ultimate does just go for it now and
3547s	immediate conversion picking up both
3550s	dps's Malaysia worse for wear once again
3553s	Singapore they had to dig a little bit
3555s	deeper even then they still win the
3558s	fight and they can rotate through to
3559s	some new ultimates again
3561s	so this is Malaysia's opportunity now
3562s	they're finally coming on board for some
3564s	important ultimates Dragon Blade I don't
3566s	think will really count for too much
3567s	here a lot of Mobility on Singapore
3569s	vital should be the target if you are
3570s	jw3
3571s	you can find vital that would be
3573s	immensely important
3575s	how do you walk on top of the point
3577s	you're still playing the jungle you
3578s	still don't have shielding you're still
3579s	going to eat a lot of poke damage magnet
3581s	strikes are instantly going to go
3582s	through Maine most of the players have
3583s	dodged that yeah they're already around
3585s	the side the vortex not slowing enough
3586s	members in and jw3 is found vital with
3589s	that blade trying to get on top of HK
3591s	not your ideal Target there so that's a
3593s	one for one of the dps's but we VIPs
3594s	down in paper as well Malaysia really
3597s	leveraging this one for all it's worth
3598s	into the overtime now but they've
3600s	collected up enough members cup to go
3601s	down into Malaysia they get another shot
3603s	they've got the point back under their
3605s	control not quite going to be as
3606s	one-sided as ruins
3608s	we're well rotated by Malaysia to be
3610s	able to work their way around the dragon
3611s	strike and as I mentioned the one key
3612s	Target for jw3 needed to be vital
3614s	against that and it's realistically the
3616s	only person that you need to get at a
3618s	minimum I would say beyond that it's a
3619s	bonus or so Malaysia will be able to
3621s	clean up and importantly not having to
3624s	use the death Blossom as well so they'll
3625s	need that to be able to try and snowball
3627s	this one further forward and again
3629s	because they had that opening 15 percent
3631s	at least a little bit more to work
3632s	through Vortex and wall down first we've
3634s	got the coalescence writing paper really
3636s	in trouble cup ends up being the first
3638s	to go down as Malaysia nice conversion
3640s	off the death Blossom softened the
3642s	members up forced them to scatter out
3644s	and they weren't in line a side of their
3645s	heel as paper so load their Malaysia
3648s	keeping control of the point for now
3652s	we're turning into Rampage and
3653s	coalescence starting to look at a little
3655s	bit better for Malaysia this could get a
3656s	little this could get more competitive
3659s	get into the Rampage that's nice see
3661s	there's still a lack of a sound barrier
3663s	in Singapore they've unfortunately been
3665s	cleaned up efficiently enough in the
3667s	last couple flights they haven't been
3668s	able to build up too much
3670s	I think you just get past this Rampage
3671s	fantasy could overcome it on this as
3673s	well
3675s	yeah just a little bit of that
3676s	coalescence the rampage that was still
3678s	able to connect through gamepro Dude
3680s	down though Ash Kane started to pop in
3682s	with the ultimate vital there at his
3684s	back as well some quick follow-ups a
3687s	little bit even on percentage from
3688s	Malaysia not even in terms of members
3690s	few more getting dusted off at the End
3692s	by the ramatro and that's going to be
3693s	Singapore back in control 99 Malaysia
3696s	will try to stagger onto the point but
3697s	Singapore playing gatekeeper it doesn't
3699s	look like Malaysia you're gonna get
3700s	boots on it's a Singapore walk away with
3702s	ilios I mean what a well placed all by
3705s	vets just blocking off the majority of
3707s	Malaysia from walking on in I thought
3708s	maybe fantasy hand has often blocked as
3710s	well but he ended up going further
3712s	forward but that ends up being the over
3714s	commitment right as well because we know
3715s	for the Rampage you could go a little
3716s	bit too deep it's I think a couple of
3719s	members three members possibly on that
3720s	Rampage one of them is a tank cash tank
3723s	and easy just go straight to Nemesis
3725s	then into Annihilation box all it out
3727s	with the ramp with the armor
3729s	and uh yeah well done Singapore clutch
3732s	it through
3734s	what an amazing first match to start us
3736s	off this evening Singapore coming out
3738s	there so strong with Ash Kane just
3740s	pushing them right off the point winning
3742s	that first match and then Malaysia
3744s	actually taking the first map though
3746s	um great effort by both teams there
3749s	anything any other feedback from you
3751s	guys in relation to that one or that was
3754s	interesting that was an interesting
3755s	start yeah enough that I don't think
3757s	this is going to be an easy breezy two
3759s	and zero personally especially with
3761s	Malaysia getting to pick map two now can
3763s	maybe take it to slightly more
3764s	comfortable territory because it seemed
3765s	like there was quite a big variance
3767s	between when they were like set on the
3768s	point in control of it could kind of
3770s	control the pace of the game a little
3771s	bit we saw that especially on uh
3773s	lighthouse in their first one uh once
3775s	they got control they didn't give it up
3777s	uh which is impressive so getting to go
3779s	to a comfortable map I think will play
3780s	in their favor and we could end up
3781s	getting a little bit deeper into the
3783s	series than just a two and zero
3785s	yeah I'm interested to see what map they
3787s	are going to choose and whether they're
3788s	going to choose something with a high
3789s	grounds and really good sight lines
3791s	because we just saw a vital there
3792s	playing Hanzo and making really
3795s	utilizing the high space there on runes
3797s	to get some amazing picks in so I'll be
3799s	interested to see what map they do pick
3801s	and whether that plays more to their
3803s	favor or it's something that Singapore
3805s	is also very comfortable on
3808s	for sure I'll receive one of the comps I
3809s	can bring to the table as well because
3810s	we've mostly had ramacha coming through
3813s	versus queen we've got a lot of high
3814s	ground a lot of dive heavy maps in the
3816s	future so a map is going to be important
3818s	yeah definitely well while we wait for
3820s	Malaysia to choose their map we're going
3822s	to cut to a short break but we'll be
3824s	back very soon everyone don't go
3825s	anywhere
3826s	[Music]
3838s	you asked we listen the mcfeast is back
3842s	in all its beefy salady Saucy Glory
3845s	value means more at macca's so grab a
3847s	mcfeast lunch deal now for only 5.95.

4065s	welcome back everyone to the OverWatch
4067s	World Cup group b for a pack and we've
4071s	had our first map played out and
4072s	Singapore has started with taking a win
4075s	there against Malaysia how do we think
4077s	that those first couple of games went
4079s	guys
4080s	a couple of quick ones in there 100 to
4082s	zero on I think it was uh well the
4084s	lighthouse map and go inside yeah
4087s	Lighthouse a little bit more back before
4088s	the ruins really one-sided uh but beyond
4092s	that I mean I think once we got to see
4095s	in Malaysia a little bit more I'm a
4096s	little bit uncomfortable with the fact
4097s	that they are chopping and changing the
4098s	comp quite a decent amount not a fan of
4101s	the Genji in this particular patch I
4102s	think the queen is always an interesting
4104s	choice at the moment
4105s	you know
4106s	realistically speaking I think we we
4109s	favor the ramacha comps over the queen
4110s	comps in the straight up in the
4111s	head-to-head Queens in uh well she's
4114s	still stronger than she was before but
4116s	she is nerfed on this specific patch
4118s	compared to the one that we just came
4119s	from beforehand and then a pure mirror
4121s	for the Lucio Moira I think I just give
4123s	that to the ramacha team most times well
4126s	certainly the map result agrees with you
4128s	right two to one to Singapore but that
4130s	one is important the fact that it wasn't
4131s	a lockout uh even with that 100 to zero
4134s	in the middle there I think is is quite
4135s	telling and quite important we sort of
4137s	buttered this one up as having you know
4138s	a little bit more uh Stakes to it in
4140s	there in that National context between
4142s	these two countries so it's kind of nice
4144s	to see that there is a bit of potential
4146s	for this to go a little bit further it's
4147s	certainly not locked away and decided we
4149s	were talking about their potentially
4151s	being a bit of an on paper disparity
4152s	between these two rosters but uh in
4154s	practice Malaysia certainly bringing
4156s	their a game here and it is measuring up
4158s	uh we'll have to see if it continues to
4160s	do so though
4162s	I don't even think there's any real
4163s	disparity between the rosters I think
4165s	they're both you know
4166s	equivalent in the fact that you have a
4169s	couple of known faces ish on these teams
4171s	and then a lot of new faces that we're
4173s	not too quite are quite sure about uh
4175s	compared to some of the other the other
4176s	four teams that I've been talking about
4178s	here whoever I think a lot more known
4179s	faces so this should be one of the more
4181s	even match-ups that we have early on and
4183s	I think the two to one score line on
4184s	that first map kind of uh illustrates
4188s	that
4190s	yeah definitely and obviously with
4192s	Malaysia losing out that map they do get
4194s	to pick the next map and hopefully this
4196s	will work in their favor so we're going
4198s	now to see that Malaysia has picked
4201s	circuit Royale uh so a escort map there
4206s	uh what do we expect to see here on this
4208s	map we don't expect to see a draw
4210s	this is a very uh I think sniper focused
4212s	map now wouldn't maker had a really huge
4214s	change here so we did see a little bit
4216s	of when we make a gameplay on the emec
4218s	emec broadcast a little bit earlier on
4220s	anzo will still obviously be quite good
4222s	here I am curious to see if automaker is
4225s	going to be a choice for the teams given
4226s	that there is a little bit shorter range
4228s	of also into a little bit closer combat
4231s	um yeah this will be an interesting test
4233s	for our headscan players I still think
4235s	given the the map design the geometry it
4238s	still should be very poke favored and
4240s	I'll see what happens on the tank side
4241s	as well I don't know if we'll really get
4243s	to see Sigma come back but likely some
4245s	more remaster Gameplay at the minimum
4246s	and that's kind of interesting as well
4247s	on the Malaysia side of things right
4249s	because as you noted they've been opting
4251s	to run Jungle Queen
4252s	one assumes that they can play ramatra
4254s	and that that's still a possibility for
4256s	Fantasy but I mean if you're not as
4259s	comfortable on it and you'd rather play
4261s	another tank and we're just gonna get
4262s	bromatra again out of Singapore then
4265s	we're kind of in exactly the same boat
4266s	we're talking about just a minute ago so
4268s	this will be a bit of a tell on the
4269s	Malaysia side of things of what their
4270s	tank line up can actually do
4273s	now let's head on over to Circuit Royale
4275s	and very quickly before we do that let's
4277s	give an awesome shout out to Mark
4279s	Donald's can't keep a legend out of the
4281s	lineup the mcfeast is back grab one now
4284s	and let's give it over to pixie and
4287s	Avril
4288s	I really would like to go grab one now
4290s	but I have to talk about this game first
4293s	I'm gonna get hungry at the end of this
4295s	show it's been so long that we've been
4297s	here it's now daytime in circuit Royale
4299s	yeah
4300s	was night time it's now daytime
4303s	it's still racing they haven't finished
4306s	racing it's 24 hours of the Monte Carlo
4309s	can you imagine next I actually had to
4312s	do that if they had to do Monaco for 24
4314s	hours rather than like the like hour and
4317s	a half hour 45 it works out at now the T
4319s	the number of drives on the team would
4321s	have to increase by a decent amount by
4323s	yeah it's first yeah
4326s	but it's like a bit of a snooze Fest you
4329s	know an hour and a half is about all I
4331s	can bear of it
4333s	hopefully this isn't a snoozefest though
4337s	so we have I believe a bit of a change
4340s	up on the rosters Ash Kane is off
4343s	Gina Flyers my boy Xena flyers in let's
4346s	go I'm Gonna Fly coming in to play the
4347s	off tanks and we are going to see Sigma
4349s	so I kind of tease the fact that in the
4351s	past this was a sigma favored map we're
4352s	gonna see that again
4354s	double hanzo's being highlighted here
4356s	Singapore defending first I'm gonna go
4358s	for the surgeon looking you know we've
4360s	had this kind of three-way rotation
4361s	sojin Hanzo Widowmaker you picked two
4364s	out of those three
4366s	supports
4367s	absent has been pretty standard double
4369s	Flex support there has been some cases
4371s	we play the brig back instead and none
4374s	of the teams are going to go for that
4376s	anything in my eye is R is the fact that
4378s	this was Malaysia's map pick someone
4379s	assumes they're comfortable xenifly
4381s	taking some heat that's already a
4382s	mortality field down but unfortunately
4384s	jw3 getting sniped out by VIPs means
4386s	there isn't the same amount of DPS
4388s	pressure I think they might have even
4389s	been able to dust off xenophy if they
4390s	had been so a little bit of a Slowdown
4392s	for Malaysia while they wait for him to
4393s	come back
4394s	just chilling until the replays return
4398s	again it'll be interesting to see what
4399s	kind of uh distances jw3 can really play
4402s	I think this initial Lane
4404s	is going to be fine we'll suffice rips
4406s	taking a little bit of punishment from
4407s	fantasy from above
4409s	going really close to Ultimate so you'd
4411s	like to see the bat plays a little bit
4412s	further up Gemini X is very far behind
4414s	there it is forced bibs back out into
4417s	the open where jw3 is able to collect
4419s	the body shot that should open things up
4421s	takes a lot of sniper pressure off now
4423s	in mortality field expired as well and
4426s	immediately converts one odds of paper
4427s	now vital looking to go down and this is
4430s	what Malaysia were fishing for just
4431s	pressuring forward with fantasy until
4433s	they could isolates somebody I think
4435s	they were initially hoping for Xeno fly
4437s	but it'll take VIPs instead
4439s	should be a retake opportunity here
4441s	plenty of places to survive that despite
4442s	the plays going down to jw3 and now
4445s	on a Recon tester xenophoy walks up has
4447s	been scouted by the Sonic but that's
4448s	fine
4449s	and the cup will be the first one to
4451s	find Ultimate on the board High ground
4453s	window is there enough plays in the
4455s	sight lines doesn't really look like it
4456s	yeah they've just kind of vanished or
4458s	hiding in the nearby shops uh it's I
4460s	mean who can blame them there's a lot of
4461s	high quality produce there it's more
4463s	sort of up Market fashion I guess first
4466s	flux gonna come down and it's VIPs
4468s	mostly caught in the Indian mortality
4469s	field vital's going to go down though
4471s	around the side now xenophy caught in
4473s	the dragon Strikers Malaysia cleanly
4475s	dusting off the rest very nicely done
4478s	they only sort of slow down so far as
4480s	the very early Beginnings when they were
4482s	pushing they lose
4484s	003 and on that they've been pushing
4486s	through very steadily
4488s	despite the fact that cup had the
4490s	earlier amplification Matrix Gemini
4492s	still trailing behind which is a little
4494s	bit odd you don't expect that the Zen
4496s	play would be able to get the first off
4497s	but typically it is about play getting
4499s	the first ultimate
4500s	fantasy having that
4502s	extra flux coming through there's going
4505s	to be plenty
4507s	when a Xeno fly to polite you need to
4509s	really prevent I think the payload from
4511s	reaching the top of the ramp if possible
4512s	goes for it now Gemini has actually just
4514s	popped the window down that didn't
4516s	really catch a whole lot of Malaysia I
4518s	think he lost the ultimate
4519s	I think maybe he got yeah must have got
4522s	canceled there at any rate no
4523s	immortality field available anymore but
4525s	still a nice catch up to gamepro dude
4527s	Singapore fighting a bit of an advantage
4529s	here anyway numenos having to pop
4531s	Transcendence they're still pressuring
4533s	forward they might as well even though
4534s	they're one man down now jw3 gonna pop
4536s	visor
4537s	and for Sight rather and
4540s	doesn't deliver a whole lot here but
4542s	they've got their uh they've got their
4543s	Hanzo back in the mix now VIPs throwing
4545s	out his Dragon strike speaking of Hanzo
4547s	as you can see in the immortality field
4548s	getting healed up comfortably it's just
4550s	pressuring back and forth luminos is the
4552s	one to go and that could be the straw
4553s	that breaks the camel's back here for
4555s	Malaysia starting to get pressure back
4557s	in Earnest now
4558s	they're going to choose the back out of
4559s	that one so now we're good to see the
4561s	flux versus and metrics Exchange in the
4563s	next fight cut might use this one early
4564s	and that will be the press and form and
4566s	the city to pull the trigger as well
4568s	let's go a little pull we're gonna push
4569s	a little far up here
4571s	you have to be concerned about those
4572s	angles another early pick from Singapore
4575s	it's just more slow down in Malaysia
4577s	that's really unfortunate and pay for
4580s	being the one to collect that I mean
4581s	obviously VIPs are in the bulk of the
4583s	damage on it but either way
4585s	time bleeding off the clock here came in
4587s	with about uh four minutes 40 if I'm not
4589s	mistaken with three minutes 40 so
4591s	already losing a chunk an hour even more
4592s	as jw3 loses the sniper battle
4595s	yup three picks in a row three
4598s	individual kills
4599s	each one will cost you 10 seconds
4603s	Malaysia uh losing opportunity to
4606s	build ground here as a payload slowly
4608s	slips backwards
4610s	our ultimate's about to come online for
4611s	Singapore as well so Malaysia oh shoot
4614s	he closes that's full fiction
4616s	vital really feeling himself and I mean
4619s	they're just going to go for it anyway
4620s	they don't want to lose the window too
4622s	much it's gonna be a mortality field
4623s	down to rescue Zeno fly as he lands in
4625s	took them a minute to get rid of it
4627s	though and vital is on a tear now that's
4629s	three in a row over the course of this
4630s	fight that's a bit of a shame fantasies
4632s	flux not really coming so much they find
4634s	a kill of vital try to stay in try to
4637s	scrap it out a little bit jw3 is going
4638s	to come back on a tracer to re-enter the
4640s	fight as quickly as possible game pro
4641s	dude with that Dragon strike may still
4643s	try to look for something while vital
4645s	still not here coming back on his own
4646s	Tracer will be vital come holding on to
4649s	the window Gemini's got one of his own
4651s	who's gonna deploy first jw3 goes down
4653s	zero play has been getting pressured
4655s	back but hasn't got down this finally
4657s	picked it's such a messy back and forth
4660s	but it's just burning time for Malaysia
4663s	and now they finally lose the protracted
4665s	engagement
4666s	xenophy doesn't manage to connect on the
4668s	ultimate but they'll win the fight
4669s	regardless cup will be able to use the M
4671s	Matrix perfectly and like the last
4672s	couple of kills
4674s	vital does doing so much of water making
4676s	here the windmakers are gone for now jw3
4678s	has an opportunity to go back over
4679s	towards
4680s	whatever if he would like to now fairly
4683s	committed on the traces a little hard
4685s	for the tracing attack you know you
4686s	don't really able to trace on the attack
4688s	here at all yeah at least on the defense
4690s	you can sort of just wait for Singapore
4691s	to strike play for the flank afterwards
4693s	less than one minute to go now what was
4695s	a really quick attack on a is now a
4697s	major slow down on B pretty Even Stevens
4699s	coming into this fight though fantasy
4701s	will have a flux well before xenophy is
4703s	assuming he doesn't go down left to see
4705s	if they leverage that as feed Dragon
4706s	strikes now either way numinoz feeling a
4708s	bit of heat from that one fantasy low as
4710s	well in that immortality Fields gonna
4712s	have to get themselves topped off cups
4714s	still holding on to his immortality
4715s	field for the time being has to deploy
4716s	it now it's going to be Transcendence
4718s	from numenots trying to push forward
4719s	trying to find enough damage to get
4721s	fantasies flux online and here it is can
4723s	they get something done with it they are
4725s	running out of time 25 seconds on the
4727s	clock pulse five for jw3 but a little
4730s	bit worse for wear needs to be careful
4731s	about how he deploys it vital try to get
4732s	up on the back line they're able to find
4734s	gamepro dude that Transcendence not
4736s	delivering much that flux not delivering
4738s	much either xenophy about to have his up
4741s	it's numerology
4743s	mortality field nice deployment from Cut
4745s	but they will still find VIPs traded for
4747s	j003 Gemini low but not doubt has a
4750s	window available it's a real scrap now
4753s	on this car Malaysia barely in control
4755s	of it they dust off paper and that could
4758s	pressure Singapore just enough if they
4760s	can find one more if they can find gw3
4762s	off cup that will seal this point for
4764s	Malaysia in the overtime
4766s	is about to have ultimate though and
4768s	they have the player Advantage coming or
4769s	not quite but they have any sport
4771s	Advantage coming up through that's
4772s	already won down to Malaysia that's not
4774s	a great start the flux not coming to
4775s	match but xenoflight is down no
4777s	immortality builds it's all cards on the
4779s	table cup and bib's gonna be dusted off
4781s	this J 003 comes into a zone of the
4783s	trades to pick only a minute and a half
4785s	left on the clock but Malaysia will
4786s	secure B
4788s	Xena flights can't catch a break here
4789s	can't land an Ultimate Fantasy rocking
4791s	in almost every single time
4792s	in Malaysia the forward momentum coming
4794s	in through Singapore they just needed to
4796s	hold out they had the respawn Advantage
4798s	they had ultimates coming online but
4799s	they need to be able to execute on all
4800s	of those
4801s	we're gonna head towards see Malaysia
4803s	after spending all of their time on B
4805s	the extra time they found on a
4807s	entirely the two minutes 30 bonus they
4809s	got on B
4810s	ottom to make their way uphill
4813s	and it ends up being I think the lack of
4814s	the widowmakers coming through that was
4816s	hurting Singapore idle having this come
4819s	back in
4820s	losing the long range oh huge Peck
4823s	luminous oh no Transcendence and the
4827s	whole thing unravels for Malaysia that's
4829s	so unfortunate they were coming in with
4831s	a potential massive Advantage there
4832s	Transcendence set up a flux all
4835s	Singapore really had to work with at the
4836s	top of that was vitals pulse bomb they
4838s	didn't even need to end the end what a
4840s	massive find well I I think any kill
4842s	would have been fine there uh getting
4844s	the backline is always important
4845s	Transcendence would have been used
4846s	defensively in their fight so I don't
4848s	think an offensive tool but any player
4850s	down at that stage is banned from
4851s	Malaysia I said currently just looking
4853s	for maximum distance likely the
4854s	finishing this map is reaching zero very
4857s	quickly as we're about to reach zero on
4858s	the timer as well gone through and
4860s	Halo's still not up to the last Lane yet
4862s	three court in the flux decent stuff and
4864s	he's going to collect two immediately
4866s	off the back of it that Dragon strike
4868s	nowhere near enough the pulse bomb
4869s	taking out the immortality field meant
4871s	all three court in that flux suddenly
4873s	landed back down expecting to be immune
4876s	and they weren't Malaysia back in
4878s	control but back in overtime too yeah
4881s	this is where the Transcendence will
4882s	really count for Malaysia final fight
4884s	coming on through for the cap itself
4885s	transcendants to keep everyone up dragon
4887s	striking to spawn General Island to the
4889s	back line who actually dies oh my
4890s	goodness where was the lamp there
4893s	doesn't even self-transcendence to
4896s	rescue himself I don't think he quite
4897s	registered the Gemini had gone down
4899s	already there was no healing to fail him
4901s	out of that Trace from the back line
4902s	well 385 is going to be as far as it
4905s	gets for Malaysia not want to quite a
4907s	cap
4910s	what a whiff two players going down
4913s	I mean it's possible that Gemini didn't
4915s	have the lamp cool down available to go
4916s	so
4917s	might give them pass on that one but my
4919s	goodness didn't use Transcendence as you
4921s	start dying that is a huge mistake yeah
4924s	now possibly Malaysia still lose 4v5 but
4927s	man Malaysia didn't even give themselves
4928s	the opportunity
4931s	come back on that final five they had
4932s	some good inroads I mean they struggled
4934s	on me again lost all their time and B
4936s	still capped out of the clutch still got
4938s	some reasonable distance on C I mean
4940s	that was a really clean fight from
4941s	fantasy a little bit earlier on
4943s	flux onto three collects onto two kills
4946s	Halo finally rounds the band onto the
4948s	final straight and
4950s	they get pretty much to the end but just
4953s	no final fight and by the way we say no
4955s	margin for error here with this first or
4957s	two format because Malaysia didn't cap
4959s	if Singapore and the snap that's it
4961s	they've got the win secured that's a
4964s	really dangerous situation for Malaysia
4966s	to be in on the defense now they live
4967s	and die by their own sword
4970s	what's more dangerous is I think now
4971s	that you get to start with vital on the
4973s	what America who had a real whale over
4977s	time I think on the defense especially
4978s	on B
4979s	it's going to get a little bit more
4980s	difficult for Malaysia okay we're not
4982s	really looking forward to what was too
4984s	much of what I make again playing on C
4985s	But A and B is going to be would have
4986s	dominated
4988s	jw3 didn't really have much to say in
4990s	that conversation last time around you
4991s	could argue that maybe the offensive
4993s	Widowmaker is going to be in a more
4994s	difficult position and probably that's
4995s	going to be the case
4997s	the vital wasn't just to want to make a
4999s	battle he was taking down everybody
5004s	bailing out of the life Weaver
5006s	it's hovering it threatening it but it's
5009s	going to be correct that's an
5010s	interesting choice this is not normal
5013s	and you like the Discord you like the
5015s	long range damage you're a little bit
5016s	more front loader on maybe right clicks
5018s	connecting on the hand but it's just not
5020s	consistent at all
5022s	so I think the karika will ultimately
5024s	most likely be the wrong choice here in
5027s	terms of raw value over what the Zen can
5028s	bring
5029s	really this is going to come down to who
5031s	gets that opening sniper pick
5034s	fantasy feeling some heat but
5036s	comfortably topped off the Xeno play is
5038s	really trying to make the space in
5040s	Malaysia backing up quite a lot oh cup
5043s	gets low
5044s	Will Survive
5046s	as the zingo fly
5050s	oh VIPs gets the first pick
5052s	Singapore who had already got a lot of
5054s	uh not free push but certainly not
5057s	stalled up as much as you might expect
5059s	about that early bridge but VIPs now
5061s	down in the trade vital low Xena flight
5062s	low gonna have to back away a little bit
5064s	from that cart no more immortality field
5066s	vital does get picked by gw3 Xeno fly in
5069s	trouble will get dropped and uh might
5071s	look to collect a couple more here cup
5072s	gonna go down paper has been able to get
5074s	out but that is the stoppage that
5076s	Malaysia were looking for
5077s	a good recovery
5080s	lost to play Early still managed to out
5082s	frag at the end of the day
5084s	the front line held strong
5086s	fantasy never gave up ground
5088s	way ahead of his competition I think
5090s	fantasy is completely gapsino flying
5092s	this match up
5093s	on either attacking side
5096s	gigantic I mean you don't expect that
5097s	the flux is gonna be the first ultimate
5098s	again I always look towards the bad
5100s	players here
5101s	it's got them in either of them so far
5105s	really feeling it right now let's see
5107s	how well they deploy it straight onto
5109s	the back line
5110s	paper not delivering a whole lot there
5112s	immortality field down but that means
5114s	it's not being used on xenofly who's
5115s	still having to take the forward brunt
5116s	of all this pressure
5119s	was so early as well and Xena flies down
5122s	there it is so quick to conversion
5124s	damage but quick trade whoa all right
5127s	vital just turns it back on a dime like
5130s	that
5131s	gw3 afraid to peek and knows that he's
5134s	got infrastruct on him fantasy going
5136s	down as well and Singapore just tear
5139s	forward
5140s	I mean when it comes down to the battle
5142s	of the windows being dropped
5144s	Singapore got a lot more out of cups
5146s	amplification Matrix and what Gemini had
5148s	in store
5150s	despite the early flux from fantasy
5152s	yourself in fact you might even say it
5154s	came through too early typically even if
5155s	you do get first flux I would like to
5157s	see teams hold it potentially count
5159s	around the amplification matrices being
5162s	traded in there I mean xenopholes even
5163s	have a flux star that would have been
5164s	purely a Malaysia's favor
5168s	just continuing the forward push
5170s	Malaysia once again just looking for
5171s	some stoppage remember how long it took
5173s	them to Cap B ended up getting it in the
5175s	overtime and this was around about where
5176s	they got stalled up so now what can they
5179s	accomplish they pick paper the dragon
5181s	strike coming across does split the team
5182s	a little bit but doesn't find enough
5184s	damage and uh to create any casualties
5187s	cars still pushing forward Malaysia do
5189s	give a lot of ground even with the man
5190s	Advantage game pro dude having to abduct
5192s	for cover for a hot second air but with
5194s	the extra kill on vital they can take
5196s	the ground they can reclaim the card
5198s	this is where the holdup was when we
5201s	were flipped on sides example was
5202s	defending so we're vital really started
5205s	to show up and get a ton of picks
5207s	to Malaysia now need to find the same
5209s	slow down there's a lot less time for
5211s	Singapore on the attack than on Malaysia
5213s	we're able to snowball through after
5214s	they capped a but
5216s	oh second Down Jay is going to be bad
5219s	for Malaysia to start off with yeah of
5221s	all people to find him
5223s	and now Malaysia just one man down flux
5225s	up on the two members there they haven't
5226s	used the dragon strike they get paper
5228s	with it it's decent no more charity
5230s	field left for them but numinox still
5231s	has a Transcendence may want to pop that
5233s	before too long they're still under a
5235s	lot of pressure Xeno fly low but not
5237s	bound ends up having to use that
5238s	immortality field to save the tank
5240s	fantasy goes in with the flux and they
5241s	convert Xeno play That's Another
5243s	important defense for Malaysia they're
5246s	able to stop the momentum once again
5248s	jump he's gonna fly down no come back
5250s	from that at all you'd have to have
5252s	fantasy down and solve it's just not
5253s	gonna be the case
5254s	almost support ultimates online here
5256s	at least when you are playing the career
5258s	code
5260s	sooner Russia is a fairly simple way to
5263s	break through point
5264s	now there's a lack of the flux from
5266s	fantasy to stop that as well it's going
5267s	to have to come down to Transcendence
5269s	fighting up against the katuna rush and
5271s	a swap onto the diva all right unifly is
5274s	just going to completely give up on the
5275s	segment you'll be fair he is losing that
5277s	Sigma mirror
5278s	question will be is this a better here
5280s	to take advantage of the consumer rush
5281s	because that's the real win condition
5282s	now yeah hard to say is interfly having
5285s	a back right up no immortality field
5287s	already for Singapore minute and a half
5289s	is still enough time to push this over
5291s	the line again remember Malaysia only
5292s	kept in over time so if they can do
5294s	better than that Singapore have an
5296s	advantage on that point C
5298s	you shot old thing here we go this is
5300s	waiting for it
5301s	directly on Transcendence is there but
5304s	game Perdue gets sniped up anyway a
5305s	little bit unfortunate for Malaysia they
5307s	were banking on that Dragon strike or
5308s	even just the straight damage output and
5310s	look at how hard they've corralled
5312s	Malaysia back around the corner fantasy
5314s	trying to push back forward they've got
5315s	gameplay dude back in the mix they have
5317s	to defend this payload it's a crunch
5319s	moment Dragon strike across out from
5320s	bips splits the team up but hasn't got
5322s	any casualties fantasy wasn't in their
5324s	immortality field and Pedro with his
5326s	life no one else able to really contest
5328s	the car oh that's brutal I saw numenos
5332s	and game produced try and Barrel forward
5333s	for it but it was too late and now
5335s	losing extra members two minutes on the
5337s	clock not only but time but certainly
5339s	enough to cap the map out and win their
5341s	first series
5342s	I'm in Malaysia they've had a good
5344s	opportunity there they backed out they
5346s	avoided the katuna rush still had four
5348s	alive with good respawns coming on
5350s	losing fantasy very quickly afterwards
5352s	as they change their comp wholesale they
5354s	keep the Hanzo but everything else is
5356s	going to go over towards a Winston and a
5358s	dive for our final point so what they're
5360s	going to lock themselves on
5362s	reset every single ultimate they have on
5364s	paper as well Singapore eventually vital
5366s	will have to get off this one over but
5367s	see if that ends up happening Dragon
5369s	strike across from gamepro dude passed
5371s	off the side Vince gets him with the
5373s	arrows growing rapid fire maybe wanted
5376s	to make a swap there anyway did game for
5378s	a dupe they would have rather have had
5379s	him alive for the time being is a little
5381s	bit more free push for Singapore it's
5382s	starting to get to a Do or Die situation
5384s	for Malaysia oh they lose Jay
5388s	so
5392s	but I can freely play these sight lines
5394s	and these angles could be under pressure
5396s	from Game Pro 2 as you see the invis on
5398s	the back and from gamford wants his Idol
5400s	very important find that's going to give
5402s	Singapore pause and that's so critical
5404s	with how close they get into Malaysia
5405s	have given up a lot of cart push when
5407s	they're beat on this defense
5408s	self-destruct barreling forward the team
5411s	having a doctor Cover they will be able
5413s	to survive it Jay timing a recall very
5415s	nicely there has himself a pulse bomb as
5418s	well fishing for something men are
5420s	remaining now Jay goes down VIPs once
5422s	again finding one now raking across with
5424s	the dragon strike that's going directly
5426s	through the side onto numerals and
5427s	Gemini who are barely surviving but it's
5430s	going to be a Nana boost on the fantasy
5431s	battling Ford finds paper pressuring on
5433s	VIPs as well now has the Primal Rage
5435s	keeping that DPS under lockdown keeping
5438s	everyone away from the cup 30 seconds on
5440s	the clock d-mac on Xeno play Corner trap
5442s	on vital he gets run down and that is a
5445s	really lean respawn clock for Singapore
5448s	Malaysia looks like they have the tools
5450s	to take this one an EMP to finalize
5452s	rally as well to hold on Singapore run
5454s	out of resources a wild consumer Rush
5456s	from paper onto the higher ground in the
5459s	dying press not too sure about that one
5460s	you would have liked to have held on
5461s	there for the final fight indeed put it
5463s	down the mid lane coming back on a Zen
5465s	now of all heroes if you're playing the
5467s	dive com this is such a weird position
5469s	for Singapore to be in that conference
5471s	all over the place and they've only got
5472s	four seconds left game pro dude has been
5474s	spotted but that does not matter gonna
5476s	go straight on top of the team with this
5478s	EMP here waiting for his opportunity
5480s	cloaking to get past the bips straight
5482s	on top deployed very nicely and that's
5484s	how they feel dusted cuff and paper done
5486s	for Malaysia Ironclad on this defense
5489s	Rock Solid perfect deployment there from
5491s	Game Pro dude and a brilliant follow-up
5493s	as well you've really got to credit them
5494s	where it's you that was a sudden death
5495s	defense for Malaysia and they're going
5498s	to clear it through we are going to tie
5499s	ourselves up
5504s	Malaysia coming back strong
5506s	have the early lead on the attack but an
5508s	important slow down but they push all
5510s	the way through C
5511s	they're on their own defense
5513s	a final swap onto the dive composition
5516s	starts working wonders
5519s	a diva pseudo dive coming through from
5521s	Singapore losing momentum Epson vital
5524s	can only do so much for this team
5525s	unfortunately
5526s	got a real hair real game on our hands
5529s	rather now
5541s	all right solid and what a comeback from
5545s	Malaysia we uh looks like we're going to
5547s	now go to a third map
5552s	not a draw a decider and push
5555s	um could we dive heavy here so we're
5557s	looking forward to the potential for
5559s	Malaysia to go back over towards Winston
5560s	that could be very strong again
5562s	a lot of options available yeah middle
5564s	Asia which is way more comfortable in
5566s	that one uh it's you know compared to
5568s	our opening map and it felt like they
5570s	had a lot more depth in the in the hero
5572s	pool something in xenophlay uh just
5574s	didn't seem to work out for Singapore
5575s	the way they wanted it to
5578s	yeah it was it was fantastic to watch I
5580s	didn't know which team was going to win
5582s	and well done to Malaysia for bringing
5585s	it back all right we're going to take a
5587s	short break and we'll be back soon
5588s	everyone out and on to map three
5592s	[Music]
5603s	you asked we listened the macbeast is
5606s	back in all its beefy salady Saucy Glory
5610s	value means more at macca's so grab a

5756s	[Music]
5793s	[Music]
5803s	foreign
5805s	and if you have been watching you will
5808s	know that Malaysia has made an amazing
5809s	comeback there on map 2 which means we
5812s	will be going to map 3 a push map that
5815s	will be decided by Singapore let's talk
5818s	about the last map that we just did see
5819s	it was very close that we weren't too
5821s	sure who was going to win but what were
5823s	some highlights we saw that really had
5825s	Malaysia win that out there I think for
5827s	me fantasy was just much better in the
5829s	sigma match up to straight to start out
5831s	with
5832s	um vital had some very good shots coming
5834s	through on the Widowmaker as well but
5835s	slowed down a little bit on the opposite
5836s	and I think that's a lot of that is due
5838s	to the fact that attacking Widow is
5840s	going to be that much more difficult but
5842s	um yeah Malaysia's flexibility in terms
5844s	of rolling through and saying okay we
5845s	can actually change composition
5846s	wholesale all the final Point here I had
5850s	some question marks about that I didn't
5851s	think they needed to change that hard
5852s	but they did anyway and then I'm working
5854s	out pretty well they found Ultimate
5855s	towards the end there and despite the I
5859s	think a little bit of flustered gameplay
5861s	from Malaysia on the attacking side
5863s	where we saw on C Point lack of
5865s	ultimates being used numerals just dying
5867s	without using the trans Stefano 5 that
5869s	still sticks out of my mind but they
5870s	recovered and won the map anyway yeah I
5872s	guess that's my kind of takeaway is like
5873s	there's a there's been a few unforced
5876s	Errors By Malaysia not So Much by
5878s	Singapore so when Malaysia are making
5881s	those errors they're straight up
5882s	performing well enough to win and even
5884s	when they are having some of those
5885s	errors they're performing well enough to
5886s	win so you like to imagine that if they
5888s	uh if they continue to not make further
5890s	errors for this last map then Singapore
5892s	can have their work cut out for them
5896s	yeah definitely and well done to
5899s	Malaysia they obviously did pick that
5900s	map so they were playing hopefully to a
5903s	favorite map of theirs and a team comp
5905s	that they are comfortable with as Avril
5907s	mentioned we did see that they were very
5909s	comfortable there uh with the tank
5910s	player out the front holding those lines
5913s	and we're going to find out now from
5915s	Singapore hopefully what map they will
5917s	be picking as we go into the third map
5920s	and obviously with push we we won't have
5922s	a draw there will be a decided winner at
5925s	the end of this one and I think all
5927s	three maps are fairly close so there are
5929s	some slight differences in terms of
5931s	which ones you would go to to say which
5933s	composition but largely I think you can
5934s	play Ram across all all the maps we saw
5937s	uh Jungle Queen coming through from
5938s	Malaysia on map one they can actually
5940s	repeat that pretty comfortably on either
5942s	of the three that we move on towards
5944s	maybe less on the Collision it's
5945s	Singapore's map choice anyway so I I
5948s	think they you know they figure out what
5950s	their best comps have been maybe going
5952s	back October is the the most safe later
5956s	to play this they can go to new Queens
5957s	for that pretty safely and that's an
5959s	interesting I was going to say there's a
5961s	bit of a question mark as well there
5962s	because we've actually not seen a
5963s	ramachar out of fantasy so if we do end
5965s	up seeing that out of Singapore then we
5967s	go back to that same question of like do
5969s	they match do they just sit with the
5970s	junker Queen again and we saw how that
5972s	worked out on ilios so there are some
5974s	question marks that hang over the tank
5975s	line up here once again and I believe we
5977s	have xenophy subject back out for ash
5979s	Kane so that romantra is feeling pretty
5981s	likely
5982s	yeah definitely well let's take a look
5985s	and see what Singapore has decided for
5987s	their potential comeback here on push
5989s	and it looks like it's going to be a new
5991s	Queen Street uh here for them on the
5993s	last map could have done three for three
5995s	on Mediterranean climates but uh all
5997s	right I guess we'll go to Canada
5998s	disappointing
6000s	I think you go to the map that most
6001s	favors your remote composition here
6004s	and I think Coliseum will be a little
6006s	bit too friendly for potential Dives
6007s	Esperanza as well you want to eliminate
6009s	the impact of a potential chunk of
6011s	income coming towards you
6013s	um yeah Force something that's going to
6014s	be very favorable towards broad now
6015s	you've got to be tested for Malaysia do
6017s	you have that broad to match up are you
6018s	just going to go over towards the queen
6019s	again it's probably going to be a little
6020s	bit less
6022s	I think good in this particular mirror
6024s	matchup and you know Singapore will
6027s	take us through the final map and
6030s	see if the ram can take it through
6032s	yeah definitely and Singapore is
6034s	obviously going to want to win this
6036s	final one so that they can you know get
6038s	the first mark on that board for the
6041s	APAC b side today
6043s	that's the thing it's like this is
6044s	actually a really big start uh well
6046s	actually I'd frame it the other way this
6049s	is a really disastrous start for
6050s	whichever these two teams takes the L
6052s	here we've talked about how dangerous
6054s	the other teams in this region are
6055s	looking everyone's gonna have to take a
6057s	match up against Australia that's why
6058s	you're unlikely to walk away from with a
6060s	win and then across the rest of these
6062s	teams here between India New Zealand and
6064s	Thailand you've got solid rosters that
6067s	are threatening so if you come in with
6068s	an L here you've got to pick up a lot of
6070s	wins against a lot of good teams that's
6073s	the scary thing that's the real thing on
6075s	the line for this first match it's less
6077s	about getting the W it's more about
6079s	avoiding the L
6081s	I think you need a minimum three wins
6083s	here
6083s	if you get only two wins three losses
6085s	you're pretty much out of this group
6086s	three wins you can rely on Tire Breakers
6088s	four wins you'd be pretty safe fire wins
6090s	obviously you're probably gonna be first
6091s	seen on you so
6093s	follows the golden standard or you will
6095s	be the minimum viable product town and
6097s	after turn your Queen Street you go no
6098s	surprise Ash came back in the lineup
6100s	here shred on top of the ram fantasy we
6101s	asked the question can the ram come
6103s	through the answer is no it will indeed
6105s	be the Moira well it's got to be a more
6107s	input the Jungle Queen for fantasy
6109s	it's your back for Singapore though so
6111s	they're not even going to play the Lucia
6112s	Memorial version they're going to play a
6114s	little bit more of a pokey style here
6115s	it's back and Hans Zone see if that
6118s	gives malays the opportunity to play
6119s	against the wall of epson once the wall
6121s	goes down they can just rust straight
6123s	and
6128s	I can relate to this uh climate right
6130s	now I mean it's not snowy here but it is
6131s	cold
6132s	we had a rainy wet summer and we're
6135s	having a cold winter
6138s	I don't know what to do with myself uh
6140s	Joe I hope they do know what to do with
6141s	themselves for scrap just on this uh
6144s	High Ground on the side here beautiful
6146s	picturesque I assume those are meant to
6147s	be maple trees that's an offensive
6149s	stereotype but oh well
6153s	I don't know
6155s	first they did put a maple
6156s	Maple egg so it's
6158s	yeah fair enough they they called for
6160s	they asked for it so here we go
6161s	as uh shelter carcu who's watching this
6164s	I know as this flight's just been really
6167s	exciting first minutes about to be gone
6168s	yeah I had a car a couple of boots
6172s	are fight for a minute
6173s	firstly as well to push everyone forward
6175s	but this game pro dude a little bit
6176s	overextended maybe feeling the heat has
6178s	to back away Gemini speeding the team to
6180s	safety as they rotate around so first
6182s	little push there from the legion not
6184s	quite working out now Singapore back to
6186s	poking and wait for that a may walk to
6188s	expire and then we'll see what happens
6189s	next shout to come through here we go
6191s	coalescence no more immortality field
6193s	Ash game looking a little isolated
6195s	they're pumping healing into him double
6196s	time speaking of which heel and numerous
6199s	having to take a few beats off
6200s	pressuring to heal up his allies on one
6202s	for one so far losing VIPs bit of a
6204s	tough break but gameproof do just as
6206s	impactful fantasy trying to push forward
6207s	they have to wait out paper's window
6209s	first get everyone topped off cups sound
6211s	barrier available not the same for
6213s	Gemini so ashken a little bit of an
6215s	advantage Malaysia throw down an ice
6216s	wall just to give themselves a break
6218s	it was a really good pressure valve that
6220s	people was able to release there because
6222s	you have they keep Ash Kane alive and
6223s	he's going to be staying alive now
6224s	Gemini still off nice sound barrier that
6227s	will be good okay finally able to commit
6229s	it cups one has expired and that also
6231s	means they can Outlast ashgane's
6232s	ultimate here as he is in that Nemesis
6234s	formed again game pro but they lose
6235s	vital not ideal no immortality field
6237s	throws it up dispatched of Malaysia
6240s	starting to pull ahead in despite VIPs
6243s	low paper down as well
6245s	first for the push go to Malaysia
6247s	two minutes and well two minutes roughly
6250s	gone two minutes and 15 now Malaysia
6252s	will finally win the first fight can you
6253s	believe that was actually just one
6254s	flaming a two minute opening fight every
6257s	Ultimate basically has come through at
6258s	this point
6259s	it comes down to the fact that the
6261s	ramatro annihilation not strong enough
6263s	there Gemini barely able to get the
6265s	sound barrier in time I would have liked
6267s	to have seen Singapore maybe get a
6268s	couple of picks before Gemini could
6269s	really come through in the sound barrier
6271s	for that sound barrier saves everybody
6272s	yeah unless it ends up coming through to
6275s	finish start with yeah that's a bit of a
6277s	tough break it's probably gonna switch
6279s	momentum back the other way ashken
6280s	though and to heal down yeah that's
6282s	enough to con uh finish him off very
6285s	nicely done in fantasy Taren Ford
6286s	finding vital as well pulling a lot of
6289s	weight here I mean four it is the
6291s	direction the Jungle Queen wants to be
6292s	moving they find VIPs they keep jw3
6295s	alive now cop going in sacrificial lamb
6297s	just to slow down the push tick there
6299s	Malaysia it's a good sleeping and tidy
6301s	yeah the really good starter the
6302s	payloads actually sold out they need to
6303s	keep pushing guys what are you doing
6305s	you're trying to write off and find
6306s	kills but they need to push put the
6308s	pressure onto Singapore Cup's gonna
6310s	respawn now and I think they can come in
6312s	for a final take before the cap so the
6315s	little bit of stagger there from cup
6317s	very important as things arrived there
6319s	it is right down the center of it they
6321s	can dive straight forward though as soon
6323s	as they won with the coalescence at
6324s	their back Dragon strike across to stop
6326s	that further bit of follow-up not going
6328s	to find any members no size will there
6329s	to keep jw3 isolated game pro trying to
6333s	Barrel Ford double death Blossom I say
6335s	double depth Boston rather just the one
6337s	death Blossom with a single kill
6339s	in my mind I was like well this is loud
6341s	and exciting it's got to be two of these
6343s	happen at one spread Malaysia
6345s	you heard it twice I did I did
6348s	Dolby Surround Sound made
6351s	okay well
6352s	Malaysia gotta spawning Singapore
6354s	surrounded can't find it coming through
6356s	four minutes and it's now all Malaysia
6358s	all day
6360s	took them a while to win that opening
6361s	you sure but they got that and the
6362s	snowball as well
6364s	I gotta give up that's interesting I
6366s	think you just keep fighting back
6367s	Singapore already dropped to the low
6368s	ground taking it even fight on the low
6370s	ground we have blizzard available right
6372s	back out they're trying to get a little
6374s	bit of a split with this ice wall not
6376s	quite gonna work everyone's up in this
6377s	blizzard and there we go yeah really bad
6379s	from cup unfortunately the blizzard
6381s	deployed and you could have heard that
6383s	in the voice line but either way a very
6386s	nice pickup for Malaysia
6397s	they didn't lose a little bit of uh I
6400s	think Taylor presence therefore that
6402s	fight again they probably pulled back a
6403s	little too far
6404s	but enough to still win that fight a
6407s	little bit more distance and now
6408s	Malaysia is so comfortable with these
6410s	ultimates cycling through Rampage
6411s	forward easy pickups here nothing
6414s	committed on the defense and smartly so
6416s	two ultimates used there gonna start
6419s	threatening that final cap here
6422s	yeah I think so I don't know that
6423s	they're all cap but they'll they'll get
6425s	the triple digits I'm seeing 110 Plus at
6427s	the moment
6428s	and Singapore
6430s	and their ability to come back from here
6432s	is going to be pretty minimal
6434s	we're talking less than five minutes now
6435s	half the map is gone well over 110 yeah
6439s	Singapore even Taylor stops so you can
6441s	see 110 but as long as they don't see
6442s	nine they'll be just fine fantasy is
6444s	down early not saved by that sound
6446s	barrier unfortunately and now himself
6448s	down as well Singapore having to dig
6450s	into it with the coalescence and the
6452s	blizzards collecting The Kills though
6454s	very important there in Malaysia not
6457s	investing too many ultimates critically
6459s	I mean why even bother using the
6462s	invested they invested too much why even
6464s	bother sound bearing that you have
6465s	banishing down you won't gonna be able
6467s	to say fantasy don't even play for the
6468s	4v5 save ultimates only for the final
6471s	four minutes where realistically you
6473s	don't need a cafe just even for four
6474s	minutes
6475s	play whatever else you have to to
6477s	counter the more important annihilation
6479s	Singapore's opportunity to find a little
6481s	bit of distance everyone got the four
6482s	spawns on my legs just so early find the
6485s	neutral
6487s	Singapore what are they going to be able
6489s	to do it's going to be a blizzard and
6490s	blizzards have been pretty reliable
6491s	fight wins for Malaysia dropping the
6494s	death Blossom straight on top of it once
6495s	again in Syria love hearing that twice
6498s	Malaysia
6500s	they will have to reset forwards now
6502s	Singapore get another shot of this
6503s	defense Malaysia get another shot of the
6505s	cap out
6506s	I mean just shove the payload up towards
6508s	the ramp and I don't think you even
6509s	bother going up the ramp into the
6511s	defender spawn play for time obviously
6513s	get the cap for the forward spawns play
6516s	for time here kick the ball around just
6518s	pass around even kick it out of bounds
6520s	you're just here to waste a bit of time
6522s	now as you slowly win this map
6524s	and that's the thing it's been an entire
6525s	minute burned here just for Singapore
6527s	getting uh getting that defense in
6529s	Malaysia getting a win straight back
6530s	losing game for a dude don't mean
6532s	Singapore get a little bit more of a
6533s	serious push forward vital gonna go
6534s	straight and looking for a death blossom
6536s	gw3 in trouble goes down continuing to
6539s	push forward hasn't even the death
6540s	possible yet looking to dust off even
6542s	more members now numenos in trouble this
6544s	is an absolutely clean sweet Malaysia
6546s	struggling to actually back out of that
6549s	position
6550s	I mean Malaysia needed to actually have
6552s	a fight when Singapore running out and
6554s	they thought they could just rotate away
6555s	but unfortunately a bunch of members are
6558s	called down mid-rotation Singapore
6560s	wouldn't that too cheaply every single
6561s	flight that Singapore win if you're
6563s	Malaysia you have to force them to
6564s	Ultimate every fight needs to be
6565s	expensive Singapore threatening cap here
6567s	now yeah it's a long journey to a
6570s	potential comeback but if they can get
6571s	this cap we start thinking about it
6572s	double color lessons fantasy a little
6575s	bit chilly there goes down this is going
6576s	to be no Rampage a lot of ultimates
6578s	invest the dope for Singapore so
6580s	expensive fight that is what Malaysia
6582s	need however Singapore getting that cap
6584s	I mean they're still very much in this
6586s	well three ultimates gone though and
6589s	they only have half the distance so are
6591s	there any but they're still not really
6592s	in it because the second half is really
6594s	difficult for Singapore to push into
6596s	first half getting the cap challenging
6599s	second half this is straight up hell so
6601s	Elijah now fighting downhill Singapore
6603s	fighting uphill Singapore
6606s	after even back out a little here we go
6608s	Malaysia trying to get aggressive
6610s	Rampage four nice catch that sound
6612s	barrier is in there but that's a lot of
6614s	anti-heal game for a Dude down early but
6616s	Trader for Vital you'll take that trade
6617s	that indicate Jay's alive I have a
6620s	blizzard to be deployed ashken pop in
6622s	the ultimate as well
6624s	and there we go there's the blizzard
6626s	that's going to collect Dash cream
6627s	that's going to collect carp and they
6628s	just want to get the robot as far away
6631s	as possible they're still playing for
6633s	time here one minute 20 left Malaysia
6636s	just need to run out the clock
6638s	the fantasy push forward really hard
6640s	with a rampage and it actually Cuts Ash
6642s	King off from the rest of Malaysia
6644s	so no healing no long range healing you
6647s	have to stack pretty tight here you're
6648s	playing Lucian Royal on both sides
6650s	you lose vital ashkin tries to just solo
6653s	that one with the annihilation but I
6655s	think a lot more support to get that off
6659s	ice wall there isolates VIPs ends up
6661s	paying off for them I have surprised
6663s	they actually managed to collect that
6664s	one but there we go that keeps time lean
6666s	for Singapore that's what Malaysia need
6668s	get the robot far away this is currently
6671s	playing it by the book
6673s	it's only less than one minute left to
6674s	go and again
6675s	you don't have to push any further from
6677s	here leave the payload around this ramp
6680s	allow Singapore to walk forward and
6682s	the longer it takes Singapore to find a
6684s	fight the better the situation is for
6686s	Malaysia yes getting real dangerous for
6687s	Singapore now 30 seconds left and they
6690s	haven't got a match distance they have
6692s	the robot well in their territory and
6694s	they've just lost cup it's all starting
6696s	to unravel and there we go death Blossom
6699s	vitals down look at it collect a few
6701s	more don't even need to collect a few
6702s	more just need to force Singapore out 12
6704s	seconds left on the Clark hell Malaysia
6706s	might even be able to go for a cap of
6708s	their own at this rate just a really
6710s	kick sand in the face nope they're gonna
6712s	back out they know that it's not enough
6714s	time on the clock now it's going to be
6716s	Singapore in the overtime on the robot
6718s	trying desperately to get that full
6719s	distance Malaysia only need one fight
6723s	and they can take that one fight over
6725s	the course of many many engagements solo
6728s	blizzard even beautifully done just
6730s	needed to catch one with that ultimate
6732s	and that was exactly what they did j003
6734s	has nailed it with these blizzards
6737s	consistently they have been guaranteed
6739s	fight winners for Malaysia and now it's
6741s	going to be guaranteed match winner in
6743s	that final fight as well the overtime
6744s	Wick burns out and Malaysia walk away
6747s	from it despite dropping that first map
6749s	yeah
6750s	now really unfortunate for Singapore
6753s	and it looked decent coming into Madden
6755s	number one Malaysia clutched on through
6757s	handily I think on the second map
6758s	despite
6759s	having some I think difficulties on
6762s	Circle Royale but really you come down
6764s	to new Queen Street this was even by the
6767s	way Singapore's man pick I think you
6770s	know the reasoning for the choice and
6771s	the composition all makes sense but even
6773s	if on paper the Ram plays one into the
6775s	Queen the issue here is they just like
6777s	Tempo they
6779s	struggle to really execute on the
6781s	composition
6782s	I think some of the ultimates came in
6784s	really slowly as well could it match the
6786s	players of Malaysia again in terms of
6788s	the raw pace of the game and once
6790s	Malaysia won like what
6792s	three fights in Aurora I think of the 60
6794s	meter Mark okay you can't but the game's
6796s	not over
6797s	you reached like the 80 90 meter Mark
6799s	you get over it over 100 it's just like
6801s	um you can call it right then and there
6802s	I think at that point it's four minutes
6804s	it's just like I said kicking the ball
6806s	around until it's over because Malaysia
6808s	they secured it by about six minutes of
6809s	the game
6813s	really nicely handled on the whole there
6815s	and hopefully we can get Domino's lovely
6818s	voice back in our ears in just a second
6820s	uh but yeah impressive play on the whole
6823s	there well deserved from Malaysia once
6825s	they kind of found their feed and got
6826s	underneath them they look really good
6827s	across the series we had that question
6829s	about the the ramatro situation for
6831s	fantasy and we kind of put that one to
6833s	bed he didn't need to play ramatra it
6835s	worked just fine with junker Queen
6837s	yeah definitely what an amazing uh
6840s	comeback there for Malaysia as Avril
6842s	said on a map they didn't even choose
6843s	this was Singapore's chosen map and
6845s	Malaysia really just took it from under
6848s	them and as you've mentioned fantasy
6850s	really made junk Queen work for them we
6852s	expected the ramatra plays and so well
6854s	done to them they knew they picked a
6856s	comfort pick here they did go maybe
6858s	against the matter but they picked what
6860s	they knew they could play and they
6861s	played it really well so well done to
6863s	them for that one I'll say they don't
6865s	neither amateur now but maybe versus
6866s	some other teams they might certainly
6868s	certainly still is uh still will be a
6870s	question mark for me moving forward I
6871s	don't think it's a bad pick just to just
6873s	to be completely Frank but um yeah I
6876s	think there's some tougher competition
6878s	out there a little bit later on
6880s	I think fantasy is probably the the play
6883s	that stood out to me on team Malaysia
6884s	really uh the the sigma
6887s	Sigma the performance on Circle rail was
6889s	really good to see yeah the change onto
6891s	the Winston ended up working out
6893s	and queen Wells are
6896s	sort of in the matter not my favorite
6898s	pick in the meadow still made that work
6900s	as well and it's a great effect on your
6901s	Queen Street I mean also fair to know
6903s	right uh fantasy was in the whole way
6905s	through uh we we saw a switch up part
6909s	way through that for Singapore they they
6910s	bought Xeno play in for map two to bring
6912s	in the sigma and be their Sigma
6914s	specialist fantasy was able to outplay
6916s	his inner play on the sigma match up as
6918s	well so yeah I kind of want to just
6919s	redouble that credit quick shout out as
6921s	well to jw3 on the last map was
6923s	massively impactful especially as I said
6926s	towards the end with those blizzards
6927s	they were guaranteed fight winners uh I
6930s	mean that in itself is huge compared to
6932s	what VIPs was pulling off just not the
6934s	same kind of deal
6935s	Singapore is going to have a much hotter
6938s	Journey now I think for both these teams
6939s	any shot it may be potentially clutching
6942s	through for a shot at the top two uh you
6945s	have to win this match up first because
6947s	you need to again I think have a minimum
6949s	of three wins here aiming for the four
6951s	wins and one of those wins needs to be
6953s	either against Singapore Malaysia
6955s	because I think there's a high
6955s	likelihood that the other teams will be
6957s	able to get those wins off of Singapore
6958s	Malaysia for at least two definitely
6961s	what a fantastic start to the APAC group
6964s	be here today and look we're going to
6966s	take a short break and we'll be back
6968s	very soon everyone
6970s	foreign
6976s	[Music]
6982s	you asked we listened the mcfeast is
6985s	back in all its beefy salady Saucy Glory
6988s	value means more at macca's so grab a
6991s	mcfeast lunch deal now for only 5.95
6994s	[Music]
6997s	thank you
7000s	hey I'm Riley also known as coffee and
7003s	I'm the tank and igl of Team Australia
7008s	uh what sets me apart from other
7010s	OverWatch players it'd have to be how
7013s	much time ends how dedicated I am to it
7016s	I see a lot of people have like other
7018s	commitments and it's it's fair enough if
7020s	you're not in tier one OverWatch might
7022s	not be your entire
7024s	livelihood but uh I think I put more
7027s	hours than any other player in the same
7029s	division so I think I've got a great
7031s	advantage of time on my hands
7036s	some of my biggest Role Models within
7039s	the OverWatch Australia Esports
7041s	Community would have to be uh Punk under
7043s	face
7045s	there's two La Gladiators coaches within
7047s	the OverWatch league and the Vancouver
7049s	Titans tank player it's it's kind of
7051s	limited the resources you get within us
7053s	so it's great to have these people
7055s	available to help especially during the
7057s	World Cup
7059s	my go-to Mecca's auto would definitely
7062s	have to be a Double Quarter Pounder meal
7064s	uh there's nothing better than those
7066s	beef patties I'll tell you that
7070s	make delivery is now on the my Mac
7072s	Attack under pressure I generally just
7074s	focus on breathing techniques before and
7077s	during important matches and my years of
7080s	competing in like high stress situations
7082s	is prepared me for the big big moments
7088s	securing ranks all day every day won't
7090s	actually get you as far as you think you
7092s	have to be a lot more critical in your
7093s	own gameplay and watching back pods
7095s	seeing what mistakes you did and how to
7097s	fix them watching Pros can also help a
7100s	lot develop like cool strategies and you
7102s	can understand how to play the game at a
7104s	higher level

7429s	welcome back to the OverWatch World Cup
7432s	online qualifiers we are here with the
7435s	APAC B group and I'm joined with the
7438s	lovely Avril and pixie here and if you
7440s	are just tuning in I'll let you know
7443s	that we have the first win on the board
7445s	Malaysia has taken it out against
7447s	Singapore I can imagine they feel
7450s	absolutely over the moon about the fact
7452s	that they have that first win on the
7454s	board here for the group b stage
7458s	and let's have a talk about those Maps
7461s	there it was quite I think it was
7462s	actually quite some really close matches
7464s	and then some Not So Close matches There
7466s	Avril pixie talk to us about what has
7469s	happened here so far with Singapore
7471s	versus Malaysia yeah like it's a good
7473s	first hurdle to get over for Malaysia
7474s	getting it over Singapore I think these
7477s	are the two teams that will most likely
7478s	have the most difficult Journey so they
7480s	need to be able to find at least their
7482s	first win get the first point on the
7484s	board
7485s	um and honestly I think Malaysia
7487s	especially on new Queen Street was quite
7489s	impressive because you're up until then
7491s	it was a very close game but once you've
7492s	got the new Queen Street you get to the
7493s	push map you start to really be able to
7496s	break away in terms of how much better
7498s	Malaysia was than Singapore yeah yeah
7500s	that was that's definitely where you
7502s	started to feel the difference I mean
7503s	already on circuit Royale I noted
7505s	towards the end as well uh Malaysia made
7508s	a few unforced errors and still one in
7511s	spite of that so like one to one their
7513s	play was actually just better they had
7515s	some real solid clutch moments and as as
7518s	you just said Kevin like then they just
7520s	kind of carried that thought on to push
7521s	much cleaner gameplay weren't making the
7523s	same kind of errors and it was a way
7525s	more one-sided Affair which is really
7526s	impressive to see
7528s	hmm so we are going to move over to our
7531s	second match today which will be New
7533s	Zealand versus Thailand let's take a
7536s	look at the New Zealand lineup and who
7538s	will be starting out in this team here
7540s	uh let's talk about some of these
7542s	players we know some of these players
7544s	very well don't we guys they actually
7546s	they live on the same street as me
7547s	there's only three streets in New
7548s	Zealand so yeah
7550s	[Applause]
7556s	one of the mistake Highway one which
7558s	goes all the way down the country and
7560s	then there's one Road in Auckland the
7561s	biggest city and there's one Road in
7563s	Wellington the capital city and that's
7564s	it
7565s	so that's the three total roads yeah
7568s	okay
7569s	okay I heard uh Adam told me that color
7571s	hex is playing from McDonald's on using
7573s	the Wi-Fi today so that'll be fun no
7575s	he's he's really not but he is going to
7577s	be at least roll swapping which is weird
7579s	to say because you know even to be a DPS
7581s	player but he also recently to support
7583s	and now he'll be roll swapping back over
7584s	to DPS for this event
7586s	um New Zealand probably one of the the
7588s	teams that has a decent chance of making
7590s	it out in the top two here but still a
7592s	lot of challenges some good challenges
7593s	in this group and I'm definitely my bias
7596s	is is going to show uh unashamedly I'm
7601s	I'm in New Zealand currently I'm in uh
7604s	in one of the most iconic buildings in
7605s	the country probably the only iconic
7607s	building in the country three roads one
7608s	building
7609s	um that's how we do things and um
7612s	yeah I have a New Zealand Powersport as
7615s	well I don't know why I admitted that
7616s	fact earlier in the evening uh
7618s	absolutely New Zealand is going to win
7620s	they're going to win the whole thing
7621s	they're going to beat Australia they're
7622s	going to make you look like clowns
7624s	frankly and this is where it all starts
7627s	okay I'm I'm glad he thinks we're
7629s	playing rugby I don't know
7631s	oh my goodness I'm I'm glad we've got
7634s	you know this being recorded So when
7636s	Australia does beat New Zealand we can
7638s	just play this back for pixie you know
7640s	all of that definitely but look let's
7642s	take a look at that Thailand team who
7643s	will be versing off against New Zealand
7645s	here today and any any key people we
7648s	will talk about you did mention earlier
7650s	that we have seen a puto around
7652s	previously they are an old player here
7654s	super veteran yeah that's super veteran
7657s	with an incredibly short name
7661s	by the way not just Saputo his name not
7663s	as short as Ace no not as short as it's
7664s	even shorter's name is ubon Dara four
7668s	four syllables total eight letters that
7671s	is one of the most efficient names pound
7672s	for pound I've ever seen
7675s	I get a good look at the place yeah at
7677s	least some of them a couple of them are
7678s	taking a break at the moment as we get
7679s	ready for them get a look at the
7680s	player's elbows I think it's uh I think
7683s	it's cool to be able to see the place
7684s	here one of the few times that we'll be
7686s	able to sort of witness them and get to
7687s	see them on the online qualifier as well
7688s	but a team comprise mostly of players
7691s	are just one contender's APAC in the
7693s	summer series representing team Kraken
7695s	Esports so I think there's a lot of
7696s	danger here this is a team that is you
7700s	know I would say one of the one of the
7702s	quiet favorites if you if you consider
7704s	Australia to be the main favorite out of
7705s	this group Thailand is a team that has a
7708s	lot of experience on it from old players
7710s	but a lot of players that are currently
7712s	in contenders and winning and at the top
7714s	of the game and that's going to make
7715s	this a really testy matchup right we
7717s	kind of previewed it a little bit at the
7718s	top of the night but it's a tough one uh
7721s	these are two of the teams that we're
7722s	highlighting as as you know potentially
7725s	looking to make it out of the top of
7726s	this group one of the two slots
7727s	available to continue in the tournament
7729s	uh I I mentioned in the last series that
7732s	it's really more about not taking the L
7734s	than it is about picking up the W I
7736s	think that's doubly true here because
7738s	whoever takes that loss they have a lot
7741s	to prove whoever gets the win they can
7743s	afford to drop the probable one they'll
7744s	drop against Australia and I see New
7746s	Zealand you're going to beat Australia
7746s	for New Zealand uh and you actually have
7749s	that that room to breathe if you will in
7751s	your tournament lifespan are you kind of
7753s	highlighted Kevin three wins is kind of
7755s	your break point that's what you want to
7757s	hit and there's a very limited number of
7758s	matches to accomplish that in so this is
7760s	a really crucial one you have to be
7761s	beating those other top teams I mean
7764s	there's three minimum it's probably
7765s	going to be four and five wins that will
7767s	actually make it through but three
7768s	minimum to even be in the conversation
7769s	yeah yeah let's
7771s	let's take a look at the map choices
7773s	starting here so it will be another
7775s	control map and we'll show that up here
7777s	on the screen to see what we are
7779s	starting with and it is again going to
7781s	be leisure sorry not again we didn't
7783s	have Legion Tower before but we are
7785s	going to start now with lijiang tower
7787s	now I I have to ask do we think we'll
7789s	get to see some pharah on this map I
7791s	know it's not usually meta anymore but
7793s	do we think people will pull it out
7796s	uh Australia mate but when I sing
7798s	Australia just yet that would be a
7799s	hidden drum card for them a little bit
7801s	later on out of these plays it's a
7803s	little I don't think New Zealand will go
7804s	for it personally Thailand
7807s	I
7808s	will be honest in saying I don't I don't
7810s	know the roster well enough to be able
7812s	to make an informed decision on that one
7813s	so uh we'll leave it open give me your
7815s	best uninformed opinion
7818s	and maybe
7819s	nice yeah I actually said it before real
7822s	real
7822s	myself appreciate that
7826s	well if we're not going to see the
7827s	Pharaohs what are the matters we should
7829s	be expecting on the lijiang tower
7832s	matchup same as what we saw really maybe
7833s	a little bit more of the Winston dive
7835s	otherwise same as what we already saw on
7838s	the first game
7839s	yeah so lecture matcha is maybe some
7841s	sombres sort of in there a lot of bats
7844s	possibly a queen but not guaranteed
7848s	maybe a bat but I think Lucia Moyer is
7851s	the support combination of the current
7853s	matter at the moment
7854s	so most teams will be running that
7857s	or some variation of attack they prefer
7859s	I'm desperately I'm desperately fishing
7862s	for like a McDonald's pun but I just
7863s	can't find one I'm really I'm working
7866s	double time like when you mentioned like
7868s	Queen I'm like real there's got to be
7870s	something there surely yeah
7873s	was that everything am I just making
7875s	things up it sounds like it would have
7877s	been a thing talk about impulp fiction
7878s	don't they
7879s	that's
7887s	oh my goodness all right let's get into
7889s	it now as we head over to lijiang Tower
7892s	and we have the amazing Avril and pixie
7894s	guiding us through this map
7902s	I really didn't
7905s	what
7907s	this match though New Zealand Thailand
7910s	I'm hoping it looks good because it
7911s	looks good on paper
7912s	especially I think
7914s	you know team Thailand
7917s	people might be sleeping on this team
7918s	it'd be pretty dangerous yeah
7920s	for New Zealand as I you know every game
7924s	has some pretty high stakes but at the
7925s	same time it's like
7926s	and
7928s	I gotta find the one where if you can
7930s	get because it could be a three-way race
7932s	between New Zealand Thailand and
7933s	Australia I kind of want to think about
7934s	it the more I think that's that's likely
7936s	yeah a three-way race which means
7938s	somebody's gonna miss out which means if
7939s	you're in this sort of three-way
7941s	situation between Thailand Australia
7943s	winning these games specifically it's
7946s	because it's because we're on this
7948s	they're like all right we need to give
7949s	our boys a pause that's the New Zealand
7951s	team right there coming through for us
7952s	this is all about the content I've got a
7953s	boat a pick real quick because this
7955s	wi-fi went out who desires McDonald's
7957s	Wi-Fi gave out who designed the New
7960s	Zealand like little flag tile there
7963s	because I don't think they've ever seen
7964s	a New Zealand flag or Sports uniform all
7967s	right real straight up
7969s	it's a red white and blue same colors as
7972s	Australia same colors as like 90 of the
7975s	country we even have a Union Jack on
7977s	there but we don't even compete under
7978s	that 90 of the time we use black with
7981s	the silver Fern Motif and sometimes
7983s	we'll use that same blue as well you
7984s	could have just done black and blue
7985s	totally fine what on Earth is that they
7988s	said they heard about the bike and
7989s	they're like oh God we use the flight
7991s	color so we're going to throw some black
7992s	in there as well and it's just a mess an
7995s	absolute mess
7997s	tell us how you really feel throw my pen
7998s	in process
8001s	so uh like graphic design is my passion
8008s	I was going to say with uh the polls
8009s	there and potential outage pixie did you
8011s	want to go restart the one router that
8012s	you guys all share on that street uh no
8015s	we have a guy for that
8016s	oh cool yeah okay yeah yeah
8020s	fantastic I'm sure the way it won't be
8023s	long because there's the guy in the room
8024s	with us right now we actually have a
8027s	sheep for that I had a really fun
8028s	conversation with an American a while
8030s	ago and I was just like catching up and
8032s	he goes so and he goes you live in New
8035s	Zealand right and I'm like yeah and he's
8036s	like I already got something like uh
8038s	like eight sheep for every person there
8040s	or something and I'm like yeah it's like
8042s	something like that and he goes
8045s	where do you keep them
8046s	I'm like
8048s	what do you mean he's like where do you
8050s	keep your sheep like your eight sheep
8051s	and I'm like no no
8053s	some of the people have all of the shape
8057s	it's not like here's your citizenship
8059s	and your eight sheep like I have a
8061s	basement that I gotta keep him in or
8063s	something I gotta share them every
8064s	summer that's not how it works dude we
8067s	actually recently dropped below we're at
8069s	the lowest sheep to people ratio we've
8072s	ever been in history now I don't know
8074s	how I feel about that we're losing our
8075s	identity as a nation between that and
8078s	there's God forsaken Nation tile in this
8081s	World's Cup I've got another object to
8082s	throw and I'm throwing it
8084s	so it's a very deep Market metaphor you
8086s	did that some of the people have all the
8087s	ship to the top one percent the top one
8090s	percent
8093s	Shepherds have 90 of the sheep yeah yeah
8097s	[Music]
8103s	I've worked together for years the spark
8105s	has long since gone in our marriage uh
8107s	he's just he's punching the clock right
8109s	now all right look everyone we're gonna
8112s	save you from all the Sheep talk and the
8114s	graphic design talk and we're gonna take
8116s	a short break while we get ready for the
8118s	back uh well we wait sorry for the
8119s	players to get back ready for the match
8121s	so we'll be right back guys and I'm
8123s	gonna go pick up my pen
8124s	[Music]
8136s	you asked we listened the mcfeast is
8139s	back in all its beefy salady Saucy Glory
8142s	value means more at macca's so grab a
8145s	mcfeast lunch deal now for only 5.95.

8391s	pixie Avril you guys ready for this yep
8393s	uh welcome back to my pen as well uh
8395s	just in case it is riled up I need to
8397s	throw it again
8403s	in the country if I'm not careful
8407s	hopefully everyone's ready look we are
8409s	in a region where we know there are
8411s	internet issues like look we live in
8412s	Australia we are constantly having
8414s	internet issues so we can't relate we
8417s	have fiber to the door
8419s	to the door to the door goodness we roll
8422s	it out for free Countrywide even the
8424s	Royal air we've got starlink now we've
8426s	got satellite internet
8429s	that's actually impressive yeah well
8431s	look the players are ready let's head on
8433s	over to Lee Zhang Tower
8437s	but don't move here go to Australia
8439s	instead we're full
8442s	I like having three roads I took that
8444s	advice yeah you did you actually you
8446s	left you're like you know what I like
8447s	more heat and worse internet
8453s	can't complain about that
8456s	New Zealand
8457s	Ryan I wanted Jacob's normal Heroes
8459s	he'll roll it through
8461s	TP Through the Windows strategy not
8463s	quite they use a TP earlier their team
8466s	is really split and this is amazing
8467s	Awkward start I'm about to get routed
8470s	that being said with cowbell and high
8471s	Vision both down Ace as well soon to
8473s	follow it was looking like New Zealand
8475s	were in a terribly split situation but
8477s	are able to get J cap around the side
8478s	instead of loop everyone in through the
8480s	back what was a split team ended up
8482s	being a pincer maneuver and works a
8484s	child getting the point I can't believe
8485s	Thailand lost that situation New Zealand
8487s	were all over the place in Thailand
8489s	failed to capitalize and they somehow
8490s	end up on the back foot oh I've been on
8493s	the front foot this time though yeah
8495s	finding par that's already a great start
8497s	now calburn looking to ball right on top
8498s	of the point Jacob having to give up
8500s	ground quick smart and there we go goes
8502s	down Thailand coming back in pretty hot
8507s	okay so it's just the 17 16 on board for
8510s	New Zealand Thailand
8512s	really nice pick my high vision
8514s	wonder if power will stop Heroes here
8516s	you haven't really built up enough
8517s	symbol charge to justify this anymore
8520s	they're going to play for another TP
8522s	strike you see the high Visions already
8523s	blocked that through with the ice wall
8525s	last time the New Zealand kind of
8527s	whiffed their their strength did they
8529s	try to remember if they use their TP
8531s	early or not but they're not going to TV
8533s	through at all mine's set up on the
8535s	floor instead yeah it almost looked like
8536s	they were trying to fake out or
8537s	something bizarre like that J cap gets
8539s	slapped and Andy Hill but is otherwise
8540s	fine it's two for nothing so far looking
8543s	to find pale and high Vision already
8545s	down as well so really quick brutal
8548s	fights on both sides of it any team
8550s	pushing on to this point is finding
8552s	pretty quick conversion and now New
8553s	Zealand back in control once again
8556s	Finn getting caught they'll run off in
8558s	but I think I might have been a poodle
8559s	getting called there Thailand their
8561s	backline in any case
8563s	first blood from New Zealand
8565s	really quick fights back and forth as
8567s	you mentioned
8568s	there's only just forced their way
8569s	through the front door there didn't even
8570s	have the TP save the TP for the further
8573s	play Alex sitting on Anna here Anna with
8576s	the Nano Nano Annihilation putting combo
8578s	X for the brilliant color X okay let's
8580s	weigh-in rest in pepperoni is that
8582s	blizzard would have been really crucial
8583s	on the defense to slow down these very
8585s	aggressive very broadly teams New
8586s	Zealand trying to rotate backwards with
8588s	that now barrier to charge you to fight
8593s	wrap it around the side and charging
8596s	back in with J cap Works flawlessly
8600s	yeah it starts badly but New Zealand
8602s	pulls through again lose a player super
8604s	quick and now they've saved the blizzard
8606s	so they've used them for future fights
8608s	put a little bit too far away from sound
8610s	barrier Pali held on to the Nano I would
8612s	have felt like Nano Plus narnish at the
8613s	same time it's a critical combo
8616s	Jay cap a little bit isolated a little
8617s	bit concern here okay yeah color hexl
8620s	going down did at least deploy the
8621s	blizzard but I don't know if they're
8622s	gonna be able to convert much they fight
8623s	a poodle they didn't get to freeze up
8624s	any tanks now they lost power as well
8626s	Ace has been the one to received the
8628s	natto Boost is so difficult to kill and
8630s	out putting a ton with it Jacob in
8632s	trouble yeah still wedged in not gonna
8634s	last much longer rather than 85 though
8637s	is decent for New Zealand despite losing
8639s	the fight back into one fight territory
8641s	for themselves but Thailand will be able
8643s	to control the point
8646s	let's play defense is what I'm saying
8647s	right he rolls up now he's rolls up and
8649s	back at least for this event
8651s	they're twice really quickly to get the
8653s	blizzard through but New Zealand
8655s	couldn't capitalize off that 90 percent
8657s	this is I think the first Photon barrier
8660s	four part that we'll be able to see as
8661s	well has held the ultimate for a while
8662s	it's a fake teepee in the window they
8664s	tell the ice wall yeah they've been
8666s	doing that a few times doing a sort of
8667s	dummy TP and it's a sort of work color
8670s	hex down early once again the light wall
8672s	is in trying to isolate some members J
8674s	cab Frozen up though it's a nice
8675s	Blizzard from high vision and Jacob's
8677s	gonna get dusted that's going to be a
8678s	bit of a non-starter for New Zealand
8680s	they use the window on that as well
8681s	unfortunately not a single counter trade
8684s	fin just takes the L New Zealand still
8686s	in one fight territory but Thailand's
8688s	starting to push close to it as well
8690s	about to hit Nottingham and they have
8692s	the better ultimates moving through been
8694s	a defensive position you can still again
8696s	I think if par stays on the Sim you can
8698s	bait the main wall but this is where the
8700s	Sim is starting to be a little bit less
8702s	value oh what a shatter they tried to
8705s	get aggressive with it they end up
8706s	paying off though they survived the
8708s	shadow cow burn up front and center yeah
8711s	and that's gonna do it the front I mean
8713s	Colburn really kind of put the team on
8714s	his shoulders for that one barreling
8715s	forward is this gonna be the Stagger out
8717s	from Finn just getting onto the point
8719s	for the sake of touching it needs to
8720s	survive as well they kind of need the
8722s	sound barrier if they're going to have a
8723s	bit of a shot at this the rest of the
8724s	deal try to come and Finn sled will go
8726s	down tough break there rest the team now
8728s	trying to touch J caps coming and Carl
8729s	Hicks on the side Jacob's already down
8731s	bow once again calburn with the Nano
8733s	boost keeping the point on lockdown 99
8735s	Thailand comfortably picking off these
8738s	members as they Trickle and not gonna be
8739s	able to make it to the health pack there
8741s	is color hex not a single kill in
8743s	response as Thailand collect the set
8745s	that's the first map over the way of
8747s	Thailand
8748s	missed a single shatter onto just ASU
8751s	okay he did all and you did kind of shut
8753s	down the overclock but
8755s	otherwise
8757s	nothing else came through from that a
8759s	push in from Thailand's string to the NZ
8761s	spawn
8762s	annihilation in hand no time remaining
8765s	snowball through
8768s	have to be a little bit concerned when
8769s	using super Scrappy I mean I even you
8772s	just look at the very first fight
8774s	New Zealand completely
8777s	out of position with the rest of their
8778s	team it was a super strange
8781s	push on top of the point itself
8782s	completely disjointed they recovered
8784s	from that and if it wasn't for
8786s	a couple of clutch Flags New Zealand I
8787s	think would have lost more fights than
8788s	that
8792s	this time just rolling out on a ramatry
8794s	of their own and color hex over to the
8797s	Reaper
8798s	opening fight oh August early death
8801s	there Jacob isolated as well in trouble
8803s	looking to go down they do find pale but
8806s	that is not going to be enough to turn
8807s	things back around unless they're
8808s	somehow able to catch a kill onto the
8809s	likes of Ace color X is going Fred but
8811s	they're kind of getting around about
8813s	Calvin caliber no flips the switch their
8815s	color hex now man it's a real back and
8817s	forth color hex barely surviving Calvin
8819s	as well barely surviving that actually
8821s	means no one's quite run away with the
8822s	early fight Thailand get the first
8823s	movement onto the point but they can see
8825s	some isolated members in New Zealand
8826s	have regrouped so Captain Thailand but
8828s	the next fight about to begin and Cal
8829s	bone is already low might go down here
8831s	High Vision under pressure as well
8833s	certainly they're full stop the point
8834s	New Zealand get the cap but they lose
8835s	Finn and the process still a little bit
8838s	on that knife's edge as the Pluto goes
8840s	down Ace as well to follow August
8842s	collecting another for himself and
8843s	that's going to be the one that starts
8845s	to seal it still a very Scrappy brawl
8847s	Thailand still actually control the
8849s	point that ticking up percentage but New
8850s	Zealand had the members now collecting
8852s	the extra kills to confirm the fight and
8855s	they will be able to finally get the
8856s	point under their control
8858s	now Tyler had to play Advantage there
8860s	but Calvin was super low they never
8861s	really recovered that HP quickly enough
8863s	Ace Traders best high Vision didn't have
8865s	the blizzard for that fight it only gets
8866s	it as he dies
8868s	so I could turn around from New Zealand
8870s	it's been Scrappy but they'll get it
8871s	back it's a lot of the problems for New
8873s	Zealand is those first deaths
8874s	consistently one player down having to
8877s	play four versus five
8879s	on an ideal situation Thailand
8882s	good on also but are they really going
8883s	to cross this bridge will be crossing a
8885s	stranger coalescence then go for it oh
8887s	there's a Boop as well manual hack onto
8889s	cowburn but receives a natto boost so
8892s	first death is actually Ace as you noted
8894s	with that Boop off the edge the sound
8895s	wave it's actually called speaking of
8897s	sound the barrier to come out now but
8899s	not in time to save High Vision whose
8900s	blizzard did not get what they needed
8902s	cowburn committing an ultimate while
8903s	they're two members down they really
8905s	want a j-cat bad they do fight him the
8908s	sound barrier wasn't quite there in time
8909s	from Ben has it now it's been an EMP
8911s	color X I'm gonna follow it up with an F
8912s	Blossom they find the one that they need
8914s	and another sound wave from Ben to
8916s	collect Ace really having to dig deep
8918s	there New Zealand and go big on the
8920s	ultimates but it does pay off
8922s	yeah it's gonna have to cost him a two
8924s	extra ultimates though both DPS
8925s	ultimates in place so you talk about
8927s	Calvin kind of throwing in the
8928s	annihilation to try and clutch it
8930s	through or get a positive old trade off
8932s	the back of that one in terms of just
8933s	that isolated one versus two or three
8936s	another movement around the back side
8937s	into white room and that's recommended I
8939s	mean I was questioning them coming to
8940s	remain over the bridge without a doubt
8943s	Finn got a boot kill excellent clock
8946s	he's just trying to go for it that
8948s	forces the sound barrier from Finn J cap
8949s	coming in with the annihilation that's a
8951s	really quick collection there Cowboy
8953s	manually had will go down that's a one
8955s	for two so you're all right with the
8956s	trade for Thailand but we're running to
8958s	better 90 they're going to have to
8959s	really dive in for this final fight
8964s	let's take a look at it 90 oh it's on
8967s	call
8968s	Autumn and lagging behind a much better
8970s	round for New Zealand so far
8972s	good ground Tyler need to start moving
8974s	to touch I think my eye is on cowburn
8977s	closing the annihilation the j-cap is
8979s	but Pali already low goes down no
8981s	coalescence and that's it August has his
8983s	collects may die but I think that is all
8986s	she wrote the writing on the wall for it
8987s	New Zealand's looking to collect this
8989s	one up hasn't quite confirmed it yet
8990s	cowboy and low has the annihilation
8992s	channeling it but is going to get dusted
8994s	off anyway
8995s	probably not going to get back in in
8997s	time throwing out the coalescence but
8998s	miles away from it unfortunately over
9000s	time Wick ticks down New Zealand much
9002s	more confident than our 100 to 90 that
9005s	Thailand picked up in the first one but
9007s	still relatively even
9009s	still pretty Scrappy though again it did
9010s	they needed to really recover a couple
9012s	of uh wacky situations there some weird
9014s	situations they got caught in four v5s
9016s	not helping them out but once New
9017s	Zealand were in control they actually
9018s	have the point going for them
9020s	much better turn around much more
9022s	consistent fights
9024s	Thailand struggle to even reach the
9026s	point they weren't able to rotate
9028s	towards the point comfortably at all now
9030s	into control center Jacob going back
9031s	over towards the rain and really work
9033s	out from a night Mark and that's an okay
9035s	Orion map but
9037s	again disjointed I would describe 14 New
9039s	Zealand on their first round
9042s	let's take another look at Team Thailand
9043s	in what is now starting to deliver as a
9046s	close series at least on the first map
9052s	an opening scrap Now High Ground from
9055s	New Zealand back on the Rhine
9057s	taking some early pressure J cap getting
9060s	right into the thick of it won't start
9061s	swinging the hammer but the barrier nope
9063s	he's down it's trapped in the vortex did
9065s	not have the immortality field in time
9067s	from August it's a two for one favoring
9069s	Thailand third one to come across and
9071s	that'll be the opening cap going the way
9072s	of Thailand once again
9074s	if there's anything that New Zealand
9075s	have struggled I mean there's been these
9077s	neutrals and to be fan
9079s	on Night Market they still turn their
9081s	own at one but again it wasn't
9082s	comfortable now we start to see the
9084s	swipes all goes back over towards the
9085s	Moira it's been the preferred pick of
9087s	August so far
9089s	as you sort of noted the laminar coming
9090s	through in time to save J cap and Jacob
9092s	and I'm moving over towards a ram so a
9093s	little bit of a swap
9095s	it's got a custom time Pally is running
9098s	away with old charge so far on this map
9100s	in a defensive position to get good
9102s	value as well
9104s	and just taking their time on the push
9108s	calburn really keeping the point on
9110s	lockdown once again has been a thorn so
9113s	far for New Zealand to get past but when
9115s	they are on top of it in the tank battle
9116s	they are absolutely tearing things up a
9119s	lot of low members Finn's gonna be the
9120s	first one to go down Pally nice
9122s	deployment of the immortality field and
9124s	there we go conversions coming across
9126s	now from Ace nicely done yeah
9130s	but we'll just be put in there for the
9132s	insurance policy all the health bars are
9134s	New Zealand fairly lower half HP for the
9136s	entire backline and Finn down early so
9139s	New Zealand certainly like the Firepower
9141s	there
9142s	will be at least able to take a
9143s	consolation prize of getting one extra
9145s	ultimate out of Thailand that will help
9147s	a little bit
9148s	all because it's all you can try to
9149s	catch up here and you are on a Moira so
9151s	expecting fast or charge on the call
9152s	that to be something to be useful Jake
9154s	how far behind unfortunately it's gonna
9157s	be the blizzard out they've isolated
9158s	Cowboy but can they kill him no with the
9160s	immortality field and play they're not
9161s	able to collect on anything coalescence
9163s	out now from August a little bit low as
9165s	is fed still struggling to collect the
9167s	kills the overclock Now High Vision with
9169s	his own blizzard New Zealand
9171s	they haven't noticed that he's got the
9173s	blizzard though so it's Jacob and Pally
9175s	that go down Ace apart really Even
9178s	Stevens for Thailand forcing New Zealand
9180s	miles away from the fight beautifully
9182s	done Finn as well they have to its final
9185s	fight looking to get a freeze color
9186s	hangs and high Vision head to head there
9190s	and we're still only just getting back
9191s	to the point now color hex finally going
9193s	down thin low in trouble August also in
9196s	trouble Jacob is back has that
9199s	Annihilation trying to get the damage
9201s	trying to find something rescue the
9203s	fight maybe goes down but finds the
9205s	point cap but Thailand have more members
9207s	they collect are as well and I think
9209s	that's gonna seal it hits Highline will
9211s	be able to recap unless kalahics comes
9213s	in with some kind of hero play but those
9216s	days feel a little bit long gone by now
9218s	100 to 10 to be the final result here
9221s	for Thailand
9222s	what a play coming through at the back
9224s	and Thailand they made the call to try
9226s	and clutch it through three versus three
9228s	and puta Pops to the sound barrier and I
9231s	said they really want to fight for it
9232s	and Tyler had the option of backing out
9233s	they didn't have to play for their final
9235s	engagement they could have accepted the
9236s	losses said well go for the respawns
9238s	here we'll reset allow the camp to come
9240s	through from New Zealand and just play
9241s	through the remainder of the 99 what
9244s	they went for the 3v3 goes into an
9246s	extended fight
9248s	comes into a Pally window that burns
9252s	through J cap completely annihilates him
9254s	down
9256s	and take away map one
9258s	yes and that means it will be New
9261s	Zealand getting to do the map pick as we
9263s	go into the second map well done to
9266s	Thailand on that one it was obviously
9269s	some very quick fights as you had
9271s	mentioned throughout those uh map that
9273s	those fights There Avril you mentioned
9275s	they were quite fast both teams very
9277s	quick uh turnarounds and very quick
9279s	picks and trades there from both sides
9282s	yeah I mean
9283s	um especially on Night Market round one
9285s	I think things started to slow down a
9287s	little bit more towards the end but
9288s	Night Market was a lot of back and forth
9290s	and it was the kind of back and forth
9291s	where the team that lost the previous
9292s	fight would retake instantly and then be
9294s	able to win the subsequent fight but I
9296s	think there were a few issues in the New
9297s	Zealand side in terms of
9299s	um the instability around the Ryan
9300s	composition and losing a lot of early
9303s	picks on the on the neutral trades as
9306s	well especially when you look at Gardens
9307s	but they won that round couldn't quite
9309s	pull through a control center
9311s	well we're going to take a quick break
9313s	and we'll be back with map 2 of Thailand
9316s	versus New Zealand see you all soon
9318s	[Music]
9330s	you asked we listened the mcfeast is
9333s	back in all its beefy salady Saucy Glory
9336s	value means more at macca's so grab a
9339s	mcfeast lunch deal now for only 5.95
9342s	[Music]

9507s	foreign

9513s	[Music]
9524s	and if you have been watching you'll
9527s	know that Thailand has taken the first
9529s	map against New Zealand which was
9531s	lijiang Tower so New Zealand will get to
9534s	choose the second map here and hopefully
9537s	they'll pick something that will favor
9538s	their team compositions we have just
9540s	been seeing a lot of Reinhardt being
9542s	played which I'm sure Avril you maybe
9544s	have some comments about jcap picking
9546s	the Reinhardt remarka yeah I've actually
9548s	got some comments he's not going to be
9549s	playing it anymore because then I just
9551s	walked down the road and knocked on his
9552s	door and I said don't play the Reinhardt
9554s	again
9562s	I was very clear about my stance at the
9564s	top of this at the top of the show I'm
9566s	not going back on my word now
9568s	I think it's only viable in Lee Jong
9570s	anyway and so beyond that it's not
9572s	really a hero pick that you would like
9573s	to you would be able to really see on
9575s	other Maps but also I just don't think
9577s	New Zealand look very well practiced on
9578s	the Ryan cop in general
9579s	uh you can even see from the fact that
9582s	we went to control center and Jacob gave
9583s	up on it really quickly and ended up
9585s	unfortunately behind and all charge at
9587s	least August caught up because we are
9589s	playing Moira and that's what more a
9591s	gameplay looks like
9592s	yeah control center was a lot more
9594s	concerning I think from the New Zealand
9595s	POV
9598s	yeah no definitely I I completely agree
9600s	with you um we did see jcap make that
9602s	switch it did put their team a little
9604s	bit behind and I think that may have
9606s	caused them that match Unfortunately
9607s	they did definitely put up good fights
9609s	there was a lot of really good trades
9611s	there but having that Reinhardt gameplay
9613s	really just didn't help them out and so
9615s	hopefully jcap will make the switch and
9617s	we'll see yeah what they're going to
9619s	pick for map too I think we're still
9621s	waiting on their decision great cosplay
9623s	from Ace great cosplay from AC I just
9625s	wanted to say
9628s	switch by the way and forget about
9630s	switching here is they're actually just
9631s	going to switch plays ODP is going to
9633s	come in for jaycap now for map number
9634s	two uh an ODP is a more main tank
9638s	focused hero pool outside of the off
9639s	tanks so uh that means we're definitely
9641s	not going to anything like circuit real
9643s	we're going to be potentially moving
9644s	onto a dive map playing a little bit of
9645s	Winston that would be my assumption
9647s	otherwise if we're just going to play
9649s	Ram or maybe queen or something else you
9650s	would have kept J cap in
9652s	um both on ODP in particular I think it
9655s	was missing from the last season of the
9657s	contenders so he's had a bit of time off
9658s	I haven't seen him for a while and I
9661s	have I see him around all the time
9665s	yeah what can you tell me about them
9668s	um handsome very handsome yeah
9671s	um and generous loyal
9676s	all right
9679s	let's take a look at the map that New
9681s	Zealand has chosen and they have picked
9683s	nombani uh
9686s	a dive map yeah good dive map a lot of
9689s	high grounds um what do we expect to see
9691s	here like I I always like to think there
9693s	might be some Diva plays here but I'm
9694s	not sure if Diva's really the right
9696s	choice I just like the Divas he was good
9698s	here but you've swapped over to ODP
9700s	which means we're playing Winston uh I
9702s	don't really I don't know what Calvin's
9703s	gonna bring to the table here probably a
9704s	Winston as well given that he well
9706s	actually I don't know what his exactly
9708s	Ripple looks like I do believe that is a
9710s	sub and he has the Winston in his
9712s	repertoire that's true and I don't
9714s	believe we have a substitution so we're
9716s	going to keep Calvin in which means if
9717s	Kelvin is more leading towards the off
9720s	tank side it's going to be potentially a
9722s	diva here
9723s	which I also think is pretty strong in
9725s	the Dives but um yeah I think the body
9727s	should be a pretty good dive map we have
9728s	not seen them Bonnie this entire year
9731s	you know which in fact we didn't see it
9732s	last year this will be yeah I was
9734s	generally speaking look up generally
9736s	speaking would be the first time we're
9737s	seeing them biting OverWatch too yeah
9738s	yeah I'm a little surprised when Bonnie
9740s	has been picked uh it's a nice surprise
9742s	because as you said we haven't seen it a
9744s	lot and I think it'll be nice to see
9746s	some dive comps being played uh because
9748s	obviously we see a lot of romancho we
9749s	see a lot of those Rush comps so I think
9750s	this will be fun to see a little bit of
9752s	a different mix up here from the teams
9755s	yeah
9756s	Bonnie a famously defensive sighted
9759s	um
9763s	hey get a draw get a draw and then New
9766s	Zealand wins map three and then we go to
9768s	map four
9769s	Bots I mean they could just win map two
9770s	and three and you don't have to go to
9772s	map four I mean I'm not going to stop
9774s	them if that's what they want to do uh
9776s	but I'm just saying four Maps bang for
9778s	your buck
9779s	they definitely do need to win this one
9781s	obviously so that they can stay in the
9783s	game because if Thailand wins this then
9785s	you know Thailand on the map or they can
9787s	draw well yes that's true
9792s	the majority of outcomes here are
9794s	actually favorable for New Zealand
9796s	there's only one situation in which it's
9798s	bad and that's if they just lose to
9800s	Thailand outright but that's not going
9801s	to happen
9802s	no they've got this exactly
9805s	all right and so look we're gonna head
9807s	in to nimbani now and I'm just going to
9812s	uh double check I think uh oh no that's
9815s	all good we're heading on over take it
9817s	away guys
9819s	I'm really hungry and now I don't know
9821s	what I'm supposed to get for dinner
9823s	unbelievable
9825s	so more the water
9826s	I've been honing that water yeah it's
9829s	that high quality New Zealand spring
9831s	water
9833s	Fresh Off The glaciers mate
9837s	and there you go there's one in addition
9839s	to the map a little jeep that wasn't
9841s	there before
9843s	in terms of map changes
9845s	still the same time of day they still
9847s	have the legendary organic oil
9850s	always sunny
9852s	in lombani
9855s	that would be interesting rainy map yeah
9857s	the cops
9859s	what's that having like a rainy map
9862s	it's blizzard world it's currently
9863s	raining
9864s	oh
9866s	there you go the more you know the more
9868s	I know
9870s	well you know now you know
9873s	you're aware
9877s	I got a question for you I got a trivia
9879s	question and I've watched trivia
9880s	questions because they've still got the
9881s	signs up here about uh Effie who of
9884s	course designed uh Orissa do you
9887s	remember what her last name is
9890s	I could just Google it but I'm just
9891s	going to be honest to say I don't know I
9893s	think I'm recalling it correctly it's
9895s	oladele
9897s	okay and if I remember that right that's
9899s	a real bad I'm not even gonna check I'll
9901s	just believe you sick level that's on
9903s	the echo
9904s	as I don't even remember we really ever
9907s	even in the deepest days of colleagues I
9909s	don't really remember him playing too
9910s	much of this here but here it comes out
9911s	in any case Ash on the defense double
9913s	poke first dive directly on something
9916s	that's a big answer heel and costs him
9919s	his entire life
9920s	what's ODP stand for
9922s	overdosed pirate I actually should have
9924s	made you a guess what if I guess because
9926s	my guess my guess was going to be uh old
9928s	dirty pasta
9930s	okay that's uh I prefer you didn't say
9932s	that but let's
9934s	about what this New Zealand team will do
9936s	now for a second attack attempt like
9940s	acts down what a sniper
9943s	it gives color hex a lot of free reign
9945s	here actually obviously I want to deal
9946s	with high Vision but currently doing
9947s	that August is just
9949s	soloing these dps's really putting the
9952s	trousers on for the team and Thailand
9955s	now yeah forced way off the point Calvin
9958s	can't quite get back onto it because of
9960s	that well-timed sleep that's gonna be
9961s	New Zealand get in the cap no draws I
9963s	could have actually no
9965s	could have otherwise have been a pretty
9967s	good retake opportunity but no uh no
9969s	I'll puts online at the moment so I'm
9972s	about to head into
9974s	I believe it was like what the third
9976s	fight passed nearly onto the pulse bomb
9979s	SO waiting for high Vision to get this
9981s	value on the ash we expect a little bit
9983s	of damage with the color heads
9984s	I try to hunt to the back line but still
9986s	missing nine percent
9988s	just wants that last little bit oh a
9990s	poodle in trouble gets uh bumped away
9992s	par down to high Vision but they found
9994s	Ace so it's a reasonable trade now color
9996s	head's duplicating the diva Head to Head
9998s	now sleep on the Calvin he's got the
10000s	Nana boost on him but he's just coming
10001s	up against color hex who's keeping him
10003s	entirely occupied not getting much
10005s	mileage out of that not getting too much
10007s	mileage out of the ultimate there either
10008s	color hex uh and by ultimate there I'm
10011s	meeting the um the echo ultimate not the
10013s	diva ultimate because he didn't get one
10015s	New Zealand though continuing to push
10019s	Thailand yet to slow this down still
10020s	waiting for Ace and high Vision to get
10022s	these ultimates oh great pick on the ODP
10024s	that'll be the start you need New
10025s	Zealand now like you have to back out no
10028s	frontal pressure color hex overstaying
10029s	yeah not not an impossible
10032s	yeah yeah been nearly down on the
10035s	retreat as well but they will get away
10037s	safely with the rest of these members a
10039s	lot of ultimates backed up now for
10041s	Thailand this is going to be a tough ask
10042s	for New Zealand to push into they're
10044s	holding forward as well because they
10045s	count at this point they have a lot to
10046s	play through
10047s	you should have to be a little bit
10048s	concerned about power back capping but
10051s	I'm outrageous really the only thing to
10053s	look forward to for New Zealand and
10054s	Thailand you can afford to just be
10056s	patient for now
10057s	almost on time you've got the Clean Air
10060s	and beautiful environment to look
10061s	forward to for New Zealand but that's
10062s	separate ODP going ahead and pop in the
10064s	Primal Rage getting very aggressive Ace
10066s	having a duplicates uh the Winston
10067s	immediately slaps immediately damage
10069s	down not going to get a primal range of
10071s	his own it's a reasonable start for New
10072s	Zealand but Thailand rest the ultimates
10074s	they can dig deep on the rally running
10075s	for New Zealand but it's the Bob first
10076s	for high Vision has now expired if I'm
10079s	not mistaken Paley gonna go ahead throw
10081s	out the narrow boost not sure who that
10083s	ended up but it's not a poodle of all
10085s	people they found odps that's the first
10087s	kill finally another one coming through
10089s	on defend but big usage of ultimates
10091s	there for Thailand they do stop New
10093s	Zealand but they had to dig very deep
10095s	I'd like to have seen them maybe hold
10096s	the Nano there by keeping a Pluto alive
10098s	I don't even think I put it was maybe
10099s	that under danger at least not from my
10101s	perspective
10101s	or something New Zealand actually
10103s	managed to get on top of a Pluto dealt
10105s	with ODP pretty quickly so that was gone
10107s	from Big threats now we've cycle back
10110s	over towards Nano and the colleagues on
10111s	the duplicate as well
10114s	you're going to have to download odbh
10116s	too low no golden puts it on color hey
10119s	does get the conversion up to Ace they
10120s	just trusted the ODP could survive the
10122s	solar pressure there on from Calvin Big
10124s	Sleep onto color hex
10126s	forced way way back they're still trying
10128s	to pressure forward
10130s	on the back Lane no extra kills cowburn
10133s	a little low here though might be able
10134s	to pull a d-mac off part of the fishing
10136s	for something with the pulse bomb
10138s	scrap around this point this is an
10139s	important minute for Thailand here Carla
10141s	Hicks going to go ahead and duplicate a
10142s	diva once again we'll see if he gets
10143s	itself destruct this time around
10144s	self-destruct first gonna come out from
10146s	Calvin finds August big beat down
10149s	unfortunately color ax will have a
10150s	self-destruct fishing for something with
10152s	it but they've already lost Finn not
10153s	gonna be the big conversion they needed
10155s	they find high Vision but they need a
10156s	lot more than just that Calvin still
10157s	keeping his point on lockdown fighting
10159s	against teammates but they found ODP
10161s	beforehand and New Zealand getting
10162s	repelled
10164s	4v3 at the stage as well selling that on
10166s	to play Thailand can hold on to that one
10167s	and they'll hold
10169s	final four and a half rough meters here
10171s	and I think they actually probably gave
10172s	away too much meter issue in New Zealand
10174s	you see actually Thailand backing out in
10175s	the middle of that fight giving space
10177s	away to New Zealand looking for better
10179s	ground to hold
10180s	filing ultimates pulse bomb was a bit
10183s	wide there
10185s	Ace little low a lot of those finer put
10188s	over the rally and Finn also with the
10189s	rally and now to boost again onto a
10191s	poodle
10192s	I mean at that point that almost seems
10193s	attention
10195s	yeah not gonna be able to get the cap
10197s	here
10199s	August down as well a little bit closer
10201s	but
10202s	no tobacco products one minute 15 on the
10205s	clock for New Zealand losing power as
10207s	well
10208s	ODP probably for he overestimated how
10210s	much old charge he was going to get
10211s	because he dies about 97 and if he stays
10214s	alive for maybe another two seconds
10216s	we're looking forward to the potential
10217s	of the Primal Rage to extend that life
10219s	in New Zealand would be in a really good
10220s	spot but
10221s	he probably just did not expect how
10223s	quickly he was going to take him down
10224s	that was a hundred to zero a snap of a
10227s	finger
10228s	payload tiny bit of movement back to
10231s	four and a half meters and slightly
10232s	further back beyond that but the timing
10234s	is really rough now less than a minute
10235s	to go
10236s	New Zealand gonna have to spend
10237s	basically all the ultimates they've
10239s	started to bang cup and I think all
10240s	three are going to get spania
10242s	par
10244s	nearly one shot too many gets topped off
10246s	fishing for something with the pulse
10248s	bottom who wanted to fight a Pluto
10249s	doesn't quite run it into him ODP has
10251s	the nanoboo status back getting
10252s	aggressive on top of high Vision not
10254s	converting any kills there still has
10256s	himself a Primal Rage pulse Bob Finn low
10259s	color
10259s	yeah he's in now still has a problem
10262s	what's the point really waiting until he
10265s	himself is low but he's immediately
10267s	slept Finn is doubt they dotted that
10269s	extra support of their back color hex
10270s	with the duplicate knocked August down
10272s	on the back side there they are
10274s	struggling here New Zealand finally
10276s	collecting some kills onto High Vision
10277s	out of Pluto it felt like there was a
10279s	real lack
10281s	on the New Zealand side not willing to
10283s	get aggressive and go and force the
10285s	fight to reserve two held back with
10288s	those ultimates they're constantly
10290s	fighting on the back foot and they're
10291s	losing on the back foot as well gonna
10293s	get held here unless color x Falls up a
10296s	miracle but it's Calvin that's the start
10297s	of a miracle manual hack he's still
10300s	alive has the supports in his back Ace
10302s	phone's power though so
10304s	finds High Vision August try to come in
10307s	help him out a little bit they find Ace
10309s	as well color hex I've missed you daily
10312s	in DPS but my God my guy has still got
10315s	the stuff
10317s	well he survived everything they got a
10319s	little bit of pocketing as well got
10320s	hacked in the middle of that fight
10321s	flying something like three to four
10323s	kills you'll be able to go for a swap
10325s	now what's going to choose May they're
10326s	going to go towards a broad composition
10328s	lose Joe Moyer into the ram Reaper may
10330s	as well and Thailand where's the
10332s	response
10333s	after Pally uses this Nano I'm looking
10337s	forward to the potential of a Moira
10339s	maybe about to come through as our title
10340s	will also do soft compositions but
10342s	Thailand they probably thought they had
10344s	won that fight and maybe I thought we
10345s	thought that yeah it was lost for New
10347s	Zealand as well but color hex watches
10348s	through pulled that one out of nowhere
10351s	Pally pops it out of his side to Calvin
10352s	who's getting aggressive but also
10353s	surrounded the found parvo August still
10356s	not pumping a coalescence and Finn goes
10358s	down they're playing so close to the
10359s	chest once again and I'm not sure I
10361s	understand it but with all these members
10362s	down they get the DMACC on Calvin but
10365s	it's just too little too late August is
10366s	dead ODP is dead color X goes down
10368s	absolute tunnel vision 30 seconds left
10370s	on the clock all they've got right now
10372s	is that coalescence and then a sound
10374s	barriers soon thereafter
10376s	well they got the player they were
10377s	looking for but they lose too many in
10378s	the backside for it unfortunately as New
10380s	Zealand will now
10381s	as you mentioned down to the final
10383s	moment and there was a miracle for them
10385s	to even get this far in the first place
10387s	so you can perhaps argue that all this
10389s	distance is bonus yep a coalescence to
10391s	guide them through to the Finish Line if
10393s	they were not going to the finish line
10394s	but as far as they can go one pulse bomb
10396s	could shut up doesn't matter August is
10398s	already down and out the cow pulse one
10400s	does go wide but the damage is long
10402s	since done Calvin brought super low
10404s	again it feels like there's a tunnel
10406s	vision on them they find Pally they're
10407s	going to hide away from that
10408s	self-destruct they don't prevent the
10409s	Remake and you've still got Ace running
10411s	interference on the backline color hex
10413s	now down para as well and yeah that's
10415s	going to be the maximum distance here
10416s	for New Zealand unless again someone
10418s	else pulls out a miracle August and ODP
10420s	with the double ultimates Calvin's low
10422s	going to get demacked here Ace is in
10424s	trouble oh my goodness gracious they're
10426s	doing it again pulling one back this
10429s	time it's not color exits August and RDP
10431s	speaking of color X about to come back
10433s	in with a blizzard how long indeed
10436s	still have to win subsequent fight so
10438s	they're getting more distance and this
10439s	is good this is minimum that they need
10441s	they can turn this into a winnable
10443s	situation later on on the defensive side
10445s	but for now I have to win another fight
10447s	hype disguise this is a risk he's gonna
10449s	go for it on the farad nearly got shot
10451s	out of the sky and Adam who saw the
10452s	caliber but the blizzard is there as
10453s	well gonna freeze him up no he's able to
10455s	skirt around the edge of it and ODP gets
10457s	picked off in the middle of things part
10458s	has a death Blossom they need to fight a
10460s	lot with it needs to maybe find high
10461s	Vision that's the ideal Target now they
10464s	find Pally and they're going to pull it
10465s	back from the brink I never doubted you
10467s	for a second go you beauties
10471s	wow what a cap feels like the entire
10475s	last two to three minutes probably
10477s	closer to two
10478s	let's just clutch off the clutch off the
10480s	clutch for Team New Zealand I made three
10482s	fights there that I didn't really feel
10484s	winnable for them come on through even
10486s	that final engagement who had the sound
10489s	barrier was coming online a couple
10490s	percentage points off
10492s	the part doesn't land the death Blossom
10493s	and taking down the bank line very
10495s	different story Thailand still in a very
10497s	likely position to hold there the
10499s	respawn advantage
10500s	time is on their side
10502s	map geometry
10505s	payload positioning also on the side of
10507s	Thailand and they were in position to
10509s	hold and they could not in New Zealand
10512s	gigantic clutch day I get that cap that
10514s	was a lot more
10515s	than what you would expect given how
10517s	rough be when they look like they should
10518s	have been held on B yeah that was uh by
10521s	the seat of for New Zealand and now on
10524s	the defense one thing I will say is the
10526s	uh the cap point a with a reasonable
10528s	amount of time and that paid off for
10530s	them when you look at how long B took
10532s	them
10532s	if they can hold out a for that bit
10534s	longer play the clock run it out maybe
10536s	get a full a holds hold somewhere on B
10539s	they they do have what they need to turn
10541s	this into a winnable map New Zealand
10544s	well they can definitely get a lot done
10546s	on a again I still think it's a very
10547s	defensive favorite here not that
10549s	Thailand did too much too
10551s	back that claim up assume New Zealand
10554s	can do more on the defense they're
10556s	playing a heavier diversion what Tyler
10558s	had remembered Thailand had high Vision
10560s	on the ash for the longest time
10563s	it was eventually a swap off and now on
10565s	the attacking side it's going to be
10567s	karika Anna so lacking the bridge this
10569s	time around
10570s	and it's not as consistent healing for
10573s	Ace on the uh Echo here this is part of
10576s	the reason why you would run the brig
10577s	among other reasons
10579s	and a heel on color hex has to be a
10581s	little bit careful gives a bit of aerial
10583s	Supremacy over to Ace and you see that
10584s	in that differential on the ultimates as
10586s	well
10587s	it's ODP taking some heat for the team
10589s	Calvin trying to pressure forward around
10591s	this corner they're taking his time
10592s	setting up the dive
10596s	first 40-ish seconds gone now
10599s	and still trying to slowly make their
10602s	way of Maine that would have been some
10603s	decent stickies from Ace of the
10604s	connected color heads oh hey still finds
10607s	it he's already looking good on the
10608s	ultimate charge and I think they were
10610s	just waiting for the uh for that at this
10611s	point but unnecessary they've already
10613s	found a kill now diving on defend August
10614s	is about taking the majority of the heat
10616s	finds one looking to find the next big
10618s	dive back the one to Ace who has the
10620s	ultimate charged up already was just
10622s	about to go down now the shoes on the
10624s	other foot ODP is in trouble fighting
10626s	against the duplicated Winston back and
10627s	way away Color head slow the dive
10629s	continues they're fighting miles from
10630s	the point while it's busy getting caps
10632s	funny sleep there on Ace but the fight
10634s	isn't where it needs to be anyway New
10636s	Zealand's just forced off
10639s	we'll try and get Ace down and maybe
10641s	recontest the same time but three
10643s	contest is certainly there Ace gets away
10644s	he was actually on the page somebody
10647s	said it was just playing with power down
10649s	funny enough was actually as I got the
10651s	kill so somehow Ace magic in his way
10652s	back towards the team would have gone
10653s	around the back side I think towards
10655s	Coast flying around the back
10657s	gets par and eventually the cap will
10659s	come on through a lot of time on the
10660s	board here for Thailand as well
10662s	New Zealand
10664s	gonna have to work hard on this defense
10666s	and we've seen him look a little bit out
10668s	of Swords I was saying on their
10670s	attacking half they lacked a little bit
10671s	of priority they weren't really leading
10673s	the charge I'll have to see if they can
10675s	maybe tie that up on the defense but no
10677s	Finn gets Dove on to Nana boost onto ODP
10680s	they still want to fight it out that it
10682s	moves on to Ace as well that's at least
10683s	a trade back there ODP has himself a
10685s	primal range but High Vision pretty on
10687s	the cart right now nobody really
10689s	challenging him just bullying par in
10691s	this Corridor while the rest of the team
10693s	gets cleaned off on the front line
10695s	thanks to Calvin who is such a hard talk
10698s	right now for New Zealand
10700s	an eventual death onto par there as well
10702s	you have to run out of blinks eventually
10703s	and there it is
10705s	Halo will now start moving along and
10707s	each same amount of time I mean you
10708s	remember New Zealand struggled to make
10709s	the payload really get to any sort of
10711s	distance on B at all where they lost all
10713s	their time
10715s	Thailand somewhere currently they have
10717s	the advantage we've obviously have a
10718s	retake opportunity here but Dragon
10720s	strike and katuna Rush straight line all
10723s	over the cap they've got to really make
10724s	the most of it ODP low has to Primal
10727s	getting aggressive Ace goes for the
10729s	duplicate finds himself a Winston of his
10732s	own so it's going to be double primals
10733s	here on us they're going to get Ace out
10735s	him this might be able to he's low gets
10737s	healed up now odp's Primal has run out
10740s	High vision is low that's a good start
10741s	and they've got Ace out of the duplicate
10743s	found him out of the sky as well very
10746s	important defense coming through for New
10747s	Zealand finally getting a cleaner more
10750s	proactive fight
10752s	yeah ODP disrupted the katuna rush you
10754s	can see as soon as Katrina rush comes
10755s	down it would be problems with the back
10756s	line Goblin's down it's going to be a
10758s	stagger onto Calvin and Finn by the lake
10760s	completely outplayed acid both of the
10763s	jump attempts from Ace locked out whip
10765s	shot away by Finn that's part of the
10767s	reason why you didn't see that Primal
10768s	range coming on through and he's got
10769s	nothing done in the uh in the duplicate
10772s	as well as then as we already mentioned
10774s	the katuna rush on Bruno
10776s	but disrupted by the Primal Rage from
10778s	RDP sticky pulse bomb from par doesn't
10781s	quite find us mark
10783s	and now Ace a little bit low Thailand
10786s	having to take their time here for time
10788s	they certainly have it's a long defense
10790s	here for New Zealand if they want to
10791s	have a full B hole
10794s	oh start there with a noun of the color
10796s	hex again Pro activity I like it to
10798s	match natto yeah as you said onto
10800s	kelburn so
10801s	our colleagues drilled down not even a
10803s	chance to duplicate Ace all over him not
10806s	getting much damage done with that Nano
10808s	boost either August now in trouble not
10810s	getting any counter trades pop in the
10811s	rally here as far as pathwayne's Ace so
10813s	they've got an opportunity to fight
10815s	through here color hex will be able to
10816s	rejoin this fight self-destruct from
10817s	Calvin just try to force everyone off
10819s	the card maybe come back in squeak the
10821s	cap through but no there's buddies there
10822s	already for New Zealand ready to defend
10824s	now looking for the kills color heads
10826s	back in the mix as are all of the
10827s	members of Team Thailand anyway so it's
10830s	a full 5v5 Primal Rage once again used
10833s	aggressively ODP very far forward may
10835s	have to be careful of this Hanzo
10838s	both duplicates available
10840s	couldn't get the kill High Vision was
10841s	low there but ODP
10843s	is just jumping on a couple different
10845s	targets part taken down the side that's
10847s	the five versus four
10849s	this time color hex needs to be
10851s	proactive it is Ace ends up duplicating
10853s	a break second rally is nice but no
10855s	forced out of it immediately that being
10857s	said color hex getting nothing but
10858s	nothing done and now going to go down as
10860s	well at their end is the point B defense
10863s	for New Zealand as soon as that pick
10865s	came through and it was an unforced
10867s	error part was fishing for a pulse bomb
10869s	and just sat around too long
10872s	well I mean you have to play on the
10874s	sidelines and you have to go for the
10876s	flags but God's call it that's all it is
10877s	Tyler now coming through with double the
10879s	amount of time they did lose a lot I
10881s	only lost a lot of time on TV but not
10883s	enough I think to really threaten them
10884s	just yet it's three minutes to the 130
10886s	that New Zealand had pushing C
10889s	the Finish Line Remains the Same time
10891s	coming through with a couple of volts
10893s	saved by the Nano yeah they ended up
10895s	wanting to commit that instead of his
10896s	healing the slow way but they make hay
10897s	while the Sun's shining they phone High
10898s	Vision nice and quick smart sleep on the
10900s	Calvin keeps him out of the mix for art
10902s	second Ace now Nano boosted RDP low all
10905s	these low members on New Zealand and
10906s	you've got to start getting nervous
10907s	about that kill board Finn goes down ODP
10910s	is still alive but ineffectual in the
10911s	fight while he's at low color he's
10912s	trying to make a hero play happen Ace is
10914s	totally and utterly unchallenged as
10917s	Thailand continue to push two minutes
10919s	here and it's a dire defense for New
10921s	Zealand
10922s	power is still missing at the moment
10923s	he's trying to buy a little bit of time
10924s	away pulling title members off but the
10926s	payloads at the end this is the final
10928s	defense New Zealand trying to come
10929s	through by the way you have to try and
10931s	make sure China has less than a minute
10932s	otherwise we're going to draw every
10934s	scenario and they got nothing but a
10935s	rally here Finn's already down yeah
10937s	Calvin the self-destruct creating some
10939s	space color hex already dead as well no
10941s	duplicate no ultimates to play through
10943s	New Zealand struggling to get any
10944s	pressure down and yeah we're going to be
10946s	in a draw only scenario for New Zealand
10948s	one minute 30 on the clock as Thailand
10950s	looked to complete the cap
10953s	and you might be the only person in the
10954s	world that wanted to see it draw because
10956s	you're sadistic but a draw might be on
10958s	our hands now it's a possibility of it
10961s	that 130 bonus time by the way that's
10963s	all they need because if you look at
10964s	what we had at the end of the clock
10966s	there roughly about one third of them
10967s	for Thailand what was the difference the
10969s	130 extra that Thailand had going into
10972s	sea yep
10974s	and well I mean at this point I want to
10976s	see a draw because uh it's the only only
10978s	way New Zealand keep their hopes alive
10980s	here if that poisonous cat that's it too
10982s	oh they're done they start off with that
10983s	L and we talked about how difficult
10985s	that's going to be to overcome with how
10987s	tight this group is actually looking so
10989s	this is a real Do or Die moment more
10991s	than ever before and it feels like New
10992s	Zealand are a little bit lost right now
10997s	oh they mean they're playing tight end
10998s	close as a competitive series but you'd
11000s	have to send New Zealand had to play
11002s	through more clutch moments where an
11004s	individual
11005s	or a couple players had to pull out
11006s	something real special
11008s	claim and clutch America
11010s	Thailand it's been a lot more of tight
11013s	gameplay
11015s	a little bit more seasoned
11017s	and I think it speaks to the fact that
11020s	again it's predominantly made up of
11023s	players from cracking Esports who just
11025s	won container's Apec and
11027s	yeah the players that are currently
11028s	after winning containers at the top of
11030s	the game and Beyond World Cup they'll
11031s	also be playing in the AL open as well
11033s	so yeah Thailand fairly stacked coming
11037s	into this event
11038s	New Zealand playing them close but
11039s	Thailand has the edge Canton Edge out in
11042s	New Zealand
11043s	a little bit more in just 128 to get a
11046s	single Tech
11047s	it's all guaranteed
11049s	certainly not
11051s	and the clutch potential has been there
11053s	for New Zealand this is
11055s	way you need to see that clutch pack to
11057s	come through for them
11060s	ODP aggressive that's a nice ending aid
11063s	but
11064s	only a Slowdown that being said 30
11066s	seconds off the clock that's a third of
11068s	the time gone
11069s	yep three slowdowns like that and you've
11072s	got it so pop down
11074s	that's brutal kelburn is anti-heal but
11076s	ODP is so low they don't have any
11078s	forward pressure remember one tick they
11080s	can't back off too far here had to come
11082s	in for a recontestant color X is dead
11084s	again how often do I find myself saying
11086s	that ODP just has to go for it no choice
11088s	but to touch and there it is Thailand's
11091s	absolutely steamed through and they just
11094s	look so much cleaner on the attacking
11096s	half clowning on those New Zealand dps's
11101s	not be able to get any Maps here they
11104s	want a single round on Legion Tower
11106s	color heck said in some good individual
11107s	moments that we can see here
11108s	and I'll play the game and they'll be
11110s	Silver Lining as the journey into top
11113s	three gets that much more difficult for
11115s	teams and as we said you know there's a
11117s	strong possibility that maybe it ends up
11119s	being a three-horse race between
11120s	Thailand New Zealand and Australia and
11122s	of that only two teams can actually make
11124s	it through
11125s	the final game of the week I think New
11128s	Zealand versus Australia could actually
11129s	be the decider if uh New Zealand you're
11132s	given that they've lost versus Thailand
11134s	now it will look more difficult I don't
11136s	want to think about that yeah
11138s	Thailand definitely showed that they're
11141s	a really strong competitor here in this
11143s	group today like that that was some very
11145s	very well played by them however I would
11147s	like to point out that New Zealand
11148s	really showed that they could work well
11150s	under pressure there were so many
11152s	moments where they just absolutely
11153s	clutched it up uh when it was like down
11155s	to the wire it was literally the last
11157s	couple of overtime seconds and we had
11158s	ODP and color hex really just making
11160s	some really clutch plays there
11162s	unfortunately it wasn't enough for them
11163s	though and Thailand did just seem to
11166s	perform a bit more cohesively as a team
11167s	against them today well you can't you
11169s	can't rely on pure clutch factors
11171s	exactly nice you'll get them you'll get
11174s	a five or two in this case they've got
11175s	like three fights yeah they were all
11177s	seemingly fairly clutched but can you
11179s	win an entire map off the back of that
11181s	one and you see the difference with
11182s	Thailand can actually
11184s	I think struggling on B play through the
11188s	extra 130 and that extra 130 is exactly
11190s	the difference at the end of the day
11192s	given that they finished with 128 left
11194s	the other thing I will say about that
11195s	clutch Factor yeah look it's good to
11197s	have it and it's really impressive but
11199s	you want to be using it because both
11201s	teams are playing well and you have an X
11204s	Factor over the other team not because
11206s	you're playing worse than the other team
11207s	and are having to recover in clutch
11209s	moments and that's what happenings in
11211s	New Zealand is just not enough gas in
11213s	the tank
11214s	yeah no you make some really good points
11216s	and look hopefully New Zealand will walk
11218s	away take some learnings from this and
11220s	we'll come back stronger for their next
11221s	match to still be a potential qualifier
11223s	to make it through
11226s	I'm impressed in Thailand I think they
11227s	you know I had a I had a feeling I had
11229s	an including that this could be a really
11230s	good team
11231s	and it comes through that um they they
11233s	really prove that at least in our first
11235s	game and
11236s	um I think New Zealand will still be a
11237s	strong competitor in the rest of this
11239s	round robin like I would expect them to
11241s	come through with a decent amount of
11242s	wins but again the cutoff point is is
11245s	pretty sharp you have to be top two out
11247s	of six and you know with I think
11249s	potentially four good teams minimum
11251s	three really good teams and well one
11254s	clear favorite in Australia that caught
11255s	off is pretty severe yeah yeah
11257s	definitely well look let's take a chat
11259s	sorry let's have a chat with aputo who's
11262s	joining us now from the Thailand team
11264s	thank you so much for joining us at puto
11267s	how are you feeling after that win uh
11270s	feeling good but in the first map and
11272s	pretty no yes like a lot of shaking
11275s	yeah
11277s	yeah well done you guys I've got a first
11279s	win on the board that's that's really
11280s	well done congratulations
11283s	yeah sure um that was a pretty clean 2-0
11287s	are you are you who are you looking as
11289s	looking forward to as the the strong
11291s	competition in this bracket because I
11293s	would say your team is probably one of
11295s	the favorites you have to get top two to
11297s	make it through the group stage
11299s	um what's the difficulty of the bracket
11300s	looking like for your team
11303s	um communication sometimes we we didn't
11307s	like
11308s	calmly in in team fight so if even can
11312s	keep like keep calm in in a match
11316s	I think that's good for us but it's
11318s	pretty hard sometimes
11319s	yeah
11321s	and actually a Proto I had a question uh
11323s	speaking of communication about that
11325s	obviously you bring a lot of seniority
11327s	to this team you're a very uh you're a
11329s	real veteran player at this point uh
11332s	how is the shock calling being handled
11334s	are you handling a lot of the shot
11335s	calling with that experience you have or
11337s	what's what's the internal Dynamic like
11339s	there
11341s	um only cult ultimate and counter the
11343s	core sometimes
11345s	yeah but most of the time I let DPS and
11348s	Tang line call the team fight
11351s	yeah
11353s	awesome well thank you so much for your
11356s	time like we we will talk us one more
11358s	quick question your next matchup will
11360s	actually be tomorrow against Australia
11362s	how are you and the team feeling about
11364s	going up against them
11367s	oh I think they are the tough one in in
11371s	this group
11372s	uh
11376s	I think we're ready to fight them but
11379s	um I'm not 100 that we we are better
11382s	than them I feel like they are better
11384s	than us right now
11385s	yeah
11386s	well I for one thing you're ready to
11388s	fight them I think if you're gonna beat
11389s	my country you need to beat my country's
11391s	Rivals as well that's only fair
11397s	it's going to be a fantastic match uh
11399s	you guys showed us that clearly Thailand
11400s	can bring it to the stage and so I think
11402s	you guys versus Australia is going to be
11404s	a fantastic match to watch so we really
11406s	look forward to it and thank you so much
11408s	for taking uh some time to chat with us
11410s	after your match today
11412s	thank you
11416s	all right and you heard it there from
11418s	aputo uh they are working on their
11421s	communication good good work good wise
11424s	words there you know team communication
11426s	is always important let's take a look at
11429s	that leaderboard from today and to see
11431s	how we have ended up and as you can see
11434s	we have Malaysia and Thailand both with
11436s	wins on the board Singapore and New
11439s	Zealand unfortunately both with losses
11441s	what a strong start to uh the OverWatch
11444s	World Cup for Group B wouldn't you say
11446s	guys Sean and uh only getting to see
11449s	Australia tomorrow be really interesting
11451s	as well especially in the first game is
11452s	going to be tough like they don't they
11454s	don't get to come into their first day
11457s	with any
11458s	um sort of softballs at all should be
11461s	fair New Zealand had to face Thailand so
11462s	we're getting all three of what I
11464s	predict to be our top teams kind of all
11465s	facing off yeah in the first few days
11467s	yeah and I think I think this is a start
11469s	that both Thailand and Malaysia as well
11471s	should actually be really be proud of I
11473s	think we're focused a lot of the
11474s	Thailand situation because you know
11475s	going for one of those top spots but
11477s	there's still plenty of room in here for
11478s	a dark horse to come through we
11479s	highlighted India earlier and we'll get
11480s	to see them shortly as well but Malaysia
11483s	really set a Preston today a very
11485s	important one I think I think if they've
11486s	walked away with the L here their
11488s	tournament life would have been very
11489s	short now they have a little bit of
11490s	breathing room and I'm curious to see if
11492s	they can go any further
11494s	yeah definitely all right we've got our
11497s	macca's play player of the day I believe
11499s	so let's have a look play in the game
11501s	sorry yes play the game let's take a
11503s	look and it's fantasy here on that
11506s	ramatra which I remember you were very
11508s	impressed with their Market week oh yeah
11511s	sorry it was yeah it was a three-man
11514s	flux coming through and the team played
11516s	to come on as well to finish it up I
11518s	think um strong shout out to also
11521s	collections clutch I think if there was
11522s	a bit more time we there was there would
11524s	have been the possibility to maybe swap
11525s	that through but you know that that came
11527s	through in our final map of the day and
11529s	so it's uh we'll give the constellation
11531s	private surprise over to colax on that
11533s	one but fantasy started out the day very
11535s	strong in our first game and I'll make a
11537s	quick shout out of that particular
11538s	passenger play as well I mean it goes to
11540s	show it's a real Team game right
11541s	fantastic play from the sigma but
11542s	actually the uh the Tracer taking out
11544s	the immortality field like that was
11547s	really what sealed the deal there it
11548s	left players in a situation where they
11550s	were expecting a defensive tool that
11551s	wasn't on the table and assuming got
11552s	maximum value you'd love to see it
11556s	yeah no I think that was a fantastic
11558s	start to the group b APAC our side here
11561s	and I look forward to seeing all the
11564s	other teams play so for those wondering
11566s	we will be back live tomorrow with a
11568s	more OverWatch World Cup goodness from
11570s	APAC Group B and make sure you check to
11573s	see what time zone it is in for you for
11575s	those here in Sydney Australia it will
11577s	be 3 P.M tomorrow evening so we look
11580s	forward to seeing you all then for some
11581s	more amazing gameplay

307s	welcome everyone to the OverWatch World
310s	Cup online qualifiers my name is Ash and
312s	I'll be your host throughout this
313s	weekend I'm going into the first
315s	OverWatch World Cup featuring OverWatch
318s	2. we have 40 teams across the globe
320s	across three conferences as well in emec
323s	APAC and Americas which we're streaming
325s	currently each conference has two groups
327s	of six countries the regions 36 picked
330s	on the player population date of
332s	OverWatch 2 and 4 through a Wild Card
335s	Challenge now as we get into the fifth
338s	ever OverWatch World Cup though the
340s	first ever for OverWatch world 2. we do
342s	have to introduce the lovely casters
344s	taking you guys through the action
345s	that's going to be got Moxie and Dustin
348s	as we intrude them in Moxie how are you
351s	doing I'm doing really good honestly I'm
354s	super excited I'm staying up incredibly
356s	late but I mean I'm not gonna miss any
357s	of the exciting action I'm sure all of
359s	the players as well are super excited to
362s	get to finally be back because for sa
364s	this is a region that we haven't really
365s	got to see on the Esports scene in for a
368s	little bit of time we've got you know
369s	the Emu Contender still going we've
371s	still got the N A but for some of these
374s	players it's their first moment to be
375s	able to step into the spotlight and show
377s	what they've got and that's a really
379s	really important thing and something
380s	heavy that weighs on your shoulders as
381s	well but a huge opportunity to represent
383s	your nation right there Dustin oh for
386s	sure I mean you know as a former pro I
388s	think that obviously I've always wanted
389s	to play for World Cup however at times
391s	the selection process can be you know
393s	really reliant on who's involved
395s	obviously Team USA this year though the
398s	lineup that I potentially could have
399s	played for is looking good I think that
402s	Ash it's kind of come under a little bit
404s	of controversy as of late obviously but
406s	coming into this tournament I'm sure
407s	they've practiced for it they definitely
409s	have and it's going to be a tough
411s	matchup for their first one and they're
412s	you know the the game to watch really
414s	between Team USA and Canada they're
416s	boxing I mean it absolutely is the game
419s	to watch of the entire conference at the
421s	moment and the fact that we're getting
422s	it so early on as well is really good
424s	because it means that we get such a good
426s	experimental uh seem to be able to see
428s	where both of these two teams are the
429s	favorites in their groups are going to
432s	be at so many histories and storylines
434s	as well overlapping we've got teammates
436s	against teammates we've got a couple of
438s	the staff as well going up against some
440s	of their players who are currently on
441s	their OverWatch league roster so it
443s	really is all to play for as we head
445s	into that third match of the day
448s	we're playing four I'm just gonna go
449s	over that formatting really quickly for
451s	you guys as well so when it comes down
453s	to this it is going to be a single round
455s	robin in each respective group all
458s	matches being best of three or first to
460s	two if you will and then the opportunity
463s	to advance towards that round robin
465s	group stage land this coming fall right
467s	where it's the top three teams from
469s	groups a and only two teams from groups
472s	be totaling at 15. so Dustin that makes
476s	it kind of scary for the group b because
478s	there's less slots to play for exactly I
481s	think that's obviously maybe you look at
482s	it from the outside say okay maybe this
484s	is a bit of a weaker group but obviously
486s	Group B has only two spots to fight for
488s	like you said making this such a hard
490s	journey for them
498s	video to introduce them for you guys
508s	[Music]
510s	come on
518s	[Music]
525s	[Music]
531s	thank you
535s	[Music]
551s	[Music]
555s	what a sweet little video to Showcase
557s	all the teams that we're seeing here
558s	within the Americas conference but now
561s	taking a look here over towards group a
564s	moxie what can you tell us about the six
566s	teams we're seeing here on screen well I
568s	mean obviously your eye is going to be
569s	drawn straight away to the two big ones
572s	you will say on Canada sitting at the
573s	top that obviously a lot of taunt coming
575s	through from both the contender scene
576s	and the OverWatch League scene as well
578s	but for some of these other teams I
580s	think they actually have the opportunity
582s	to really prove themselves a dark course
584s	in this competition I've had the
585s	absolute pleasure of being able to sit
587s	down with some of the players sitting on
588s	a couple of those scrims and one team
590s	that's looking incredibly strong to me
592s	at the moment is Puerto Rico they have
594s	some really good dive compositions
596s	coming through from them where they seem
597s	incredibly coordinated with the current
600s	matter that we'll be discussing a little
601s	bit more in depth a little bit later on
604s	yeah it'll be it'll be interesting when
606s	we do finally get to touch on that uh
608s	and with that the patch notes that went
611s	live not too long ago like initiate
613s	things up a little bit but when it comes
616s	down to group a I also want to get your
617s	thoughts on this Dustin how are you
619s	feeling especially as someone who you
621s	know has been a pro player
624s	yeah I think that for group a this is
626s	you know their kind of you know it's
628s	it's obviously important to just go and
630s	defeat it uh for them first of all I
632s	mean that's just going to be important
633s	leading in you know later on in the
635s	tournament to just make sure you make a
636s	statement to the rest of the you know
638s	World Cup teams that you can maybe
639s	compete with the likes of Korea China
641s	some of these other top tier rosters and
643s	meanwhile for Group B it's just a matter
644s	of escaping right they have to get out
646s	of this group b together obviously like
648s	you mentioned earlier Ash only top two
650s	teams from this group get out of here
651s	and each are incredibly hungry now
653s	obviously I think Brazil is one of the
655s	favorites to get out of this group in
656s	general because you know ever since sa
659s	has been you know changed and obviously
660s	contenders has been removed from the
662s	region recently they've been kind of you
664s	know grinding the ladder making sure
666s	their players are still you know fresh
668s	ready to go mechanically and you know
670s	they've told me I've talked to the
671s	Brazilian team in their lineup they're
672s	feeling comfortable and confident as a
674s	unit but so are the rest of these uh
676s	read these teams in the same region so
678s	I'm sure this is going to be an exciting
680s	group to watch Ash OH it definitely will
682s	be with the competition being being so
685s	hot and I know that we don't quite have
687s	something to show you guys about this
688s	but I want to touch on the map Pool a
690s	little bit here when it comes down to
692s	the America's region the map Pool is
695s	slightly different across all three
696s	conferences Moxie so for America is
699s	generally is there anything that stands
701s	out to you because I know that it is
703s	different from what we usually see even
704s	in the OverWatch League yeah those two
707s	maps that immediately coming through
708s	into these conferences in comparison to
710s	OverWatch League are going to make a
712s	humongous difference and one of those is
714s	just numbanias we can have a very quick
716s	look at the schedule to see what all of
719s	these matches are going to be Colombia
720s	versus Peru at first then Chile Brazil
722s	then obviously that for its stateful
724s	match of the Day Canada versus the US
726s	and then afterwards Costa Rica versus
727s	Mexico and Puerto Rico versus Mala to
731s	end things off but going back to that
733s	Maple it's really important because it
735s	means that we're going to be seeing a
737s	couple of different Heroes come through
738s	with nambani coming back you're almost
740s	forced to go immediately on to that dive
742s	composition to be able to attack and
744s	mirror and be able to push into what the
746s	Defenders immediately get gift wrap the
748s	second that the math has started which
750s	is that High Ground so things like the
752s	echo the ash a lot more Diva to be able
754s	to use those boosters and go between
755s	both the low ground and The High Ground
757s	and push onto some of those supports
759s	left unattended
760s	speaking of the maps as well Dustin
762s	we've also got to consider the map
764s	changes that have come out within the
765s	recent patch we're talking specifically
767s	about Gibraltar especially with that map
770s	having the biggest changes and what do
772s	you think that actually means as far as
773s	the shift in play style we might be
775s	seeing yeah I'm going to be honest uh
777s	not so not as much as you think maybe
779s	because just because there's a few cover
781s	changes and stuff maybe like a little
783s	bit of you know map change overall I
785s	think we're listening to the map still
786s	kind of plays the same you have the high
787s	grounds you have a lot of the similar
788s	you know angles you work off of maybe I
791s	guess that changes slightly but you know
793s	Ash obviously I I think I as a former
796s	player myself I'm more of like I was
797s	more of like one of the uh you know
799s	brain dead players like I was kind of
800s	just like doing like just shooting
802s	randomly going in there loading the
803s	lobby the coaches and whatever choose
805s	the maps I'm like whatever where does
806s	loading in I don't care what map it is
807s	let's just go ham and if it's Gibraltar
810s	screw it that's a great animap I'm sure
812s	a lot of these teams like Team USA will
814s	really appreciate a map where they could
815s	set up a player like ultraviolet on The
817s	High Ground I mean when I talk to
819s	players about the changes coming from in
820s	Gibraltar a lot of them were actually
822s	DPS players that I talk to and they they
824s	love the changes they're super happy
826s	that like finally when we're on the
827s	Defenders we're not just going to
829s	immediately get pubs on the second that
830s	we get out of those spawn doors so
832s	really good to see those changes come
833s	from on this map no absolutely and
836s	before we do head into the first match
838s	as well I do want to talk a little bit
840s	beforehand about some of the other
842s	changes that have come through within
843s	the recent patch we know that it is a
845s	potential like meta shifting change at
848s	that especially with the dive comps
850s	being so important right now within this
852s	season of OverWatch too so Dustin do you
855s	think we're gonna actually see immediate
857s	adjustments coming out from these teams
859s	or are they just going to go with what
860s	has been comfortable uh before the patch
862s	actually shifted it it's tough to say I
865s	think it's 50 50. it's probably team
866s	dependent I imagine a lot of the you
868s	know Sombra play could still come out we
870s	could still see potentially that swap
872s	over to Cass with those changes too and
874s	there's so many different things so many
875s	different factors that could lead into a
877s	team choosing whether or not to play you
879s	know a new meta but you know I if I
881s	would had to pick it's probably gonna
883s	rely on a lot of Comforts for a lot of
885s	these teams
886s	well I would I would sort of agree all
889s	about looking at what other regions have
890s	been running Tracer Sombra still seems
893s	to be a very big staple at the moment
895s	and from what I was gathering from
896s	players as well yep need is incredibly
899s	impactful but lacking that 25 Valve just
901s	makes the cast too easy to be able to
903s	run down so I think Tracy Sombra is
904s	still here to stay okay well we'll see
907s	what happens we'll see what happens
908s	maybe some teams will put some
909s	Innovation to surprise us but before we
912s	get too far into it we are going to
914s	throw to a quick break so you guys stay
916s	tuned because coming up first we will
919s	have a Columbia versus off the top of my
923s	head that my brain is melting a little
925s	bit in this heat wave right now against
928s	Peru so you guys stay tuned and we will
931s	be right back

1056s	welcome back everybody we're about to
1058s	get into our first matchup here between
1061s	Columbia and Peru and I've got Moxie and
1064s	Dustin with me moxie what can you say
1067s	looking forward to this first matchup
1069s	I'm looking forward to seeing the return
1071s	of one of our really old OverWatch
1073s	league players we got to see it
1075s	yesterday from France when Poco came
1077s	back in but now we're getting to see eqo
1079s	return to professional competitive
1081s	OverWatch and as someone who grew up and
1084s	got into OverWatch by watching him play
1086s	for Philly Fusion all the way back 2018
1089s	inaugural state of OverWatch League into
1092s	that first year of 2019 he was
1094s	absolutely cracked however he has had a
1098s	little bit of a break from 2021 onwards
1100s	will be interesting to see whether or
1101s	not he's able to shake that was off
1104s	that's a really big point but at the
1106s	same time Dustin I think that is a good
1108s	point to be made that eqo does have that
1110s	opportunity to kind of bring that
1111s	veteran ship here to the team and kind
1113s	of elevate them in that kind of sense oh
1116s	for sure yeah I think you'll add a lot
1117s	to this roster just in terms of his
1119s	overall communication like you mentioned
1121s	and then also I mean he's just think he
1123s	was at points you know very stand-up
1125s	mechanical player I think it's it's hard
1127s	to dismiss his ability as a player
1128s	simply because you know he has one of
1130s	the coolest highlights of all time on
1132s	Genji you know so I think that this team
1134s	overall really reliant on him obviously
1137s	is going to need a little bit of backup
1138s	from the rest of the supporting past
1141s	for sure but let's take a little
1142s	introduction over to the Peru side first
1145s	moxie what can you tell us about this
1147s	starting roster so they have a little
1150s	bit of experience coming for from that
1151s	contenders as a scene by Persona and
1154s	plug used to play in 2020 under the team
1157s	named patatas which I am told is
1159s	absolutely adorably translated to
1161s	ducklings and they had a duck as their
1163s	logo which is just ah it's so nice to
1166s	see come through but they're back
1167s	they're coming here with this team I'm
1169s	really excited to get to see what
1171s	they've been cooking up because like
1172s	Dustin said you can always known for
1174s	having something like that Genji in the
1175s	back pocket having these Niche picks
1177s	that you're able to fall back onto for a
1180s	little bit of a curve for life too is
1181s	going to be incredibly important in
1183s	terms of counter-striving
1184s	it's going to be about all about think
1186s	and quick on your feet then right here
1188s	for Peru just trying to take advantage
1190s	of any opportunity to counter Strat like
1193s	you were saying Moxie but I'm also
1195s	looking forward to making an
1196s	introduction over towards the Colombian
1198s	team as well with eqo homing this team
1202s	and then you got Eternal super Gomez Mix
1205s	B and hug rounding things out here
1207s	Dustin
1209s	for sure and I think that Columbia
1210s	overall actually has a pretty solid
1212s	lineup you know as a unit realistically
1215s	they really need to play around EQ
1216s	electric but also super Gomez has a
1218s	large Hero book and play those flexible
1220s	you know winstons play the Reinhardt
1222s	really can make that swap whatever
1223s	needed for this team and you know it's
1226s	up to them if they want to go for more
1228s	of those you know at the moment meta
1230s	sort of dive compositions require a
1232s	bunch of coordination or if you want to
1234s	play something a bit more Brawley seems
1236s	like they have the lineup to do so
1237s	obviously with eternal potentially
1238s	flexing over to the May or eqo actually
1240s	has a fantastic man in his own right
1242s	rather so this team can really run it
1244s	whatever they want it seems like I would
1246s	say they're probably going to be
1247s	starting with something like either a
1248s	Reinhardt or
1251s	coming through given that like Dawson
1252s	pointed out Eternal normally a sub for
1254s	this team flexes between both the
1256s	roadhog and the main starting off in
1257s	that DPS lineup as much as you want to
1259s	argue that Rota could perhaps fill the
1261s	spot of DPS with the damage that he does
1263s	on that tank roll he's he's still a tank
1265s	mate is definitely going to be what this
1267s	team is running out with to start things
1268s	off as we can have a look at our first
1270s	map which is going to be Nepal which is
1272s	incredibly good for that made to come
1274s	through if you get Village handed to you
1276s	first off as well it's just going to be
1278s	an overall Brawl for control at that
1279s	point as quickly as possible start the
1281s	fight on The High Ground and then move
1283s	to the point and use things like the
1284s	mobile and also potentially even
1286s	symmetra turrets to be able to keep the
1287s	team at Bay when they next come calling
1290s	oh okay so first map already picked out
1293s	there for control but then that means we
1295s	have escort coming up next when it comes
1298s	down to the escort maps that are the
1301s	options here being circuit Royale
1303s	Gibraltar in Route 66 here for America's
1305s	Dustin what do you think these teams
1308s	might lean into
1310s	uh I mean maybe they want to switch
1312s	towards Gibraltar which hand that change
1313s	like you mentioned but realistically
1314s	just it's up to them and I think you
1317s	know obviously a lot of these teams pick
1318s	based on win rates and scrims right I
1320s	think a lot of analysis work has been
1322s	kind of the the leading uh tool to just
1325s	like picking what map is best for your
1328s	team realistically you just kind of go
1329s	into practice go into scrims kind of
1331s	just see what you win on most and then
1333s	go from there obviously knowing the map
1335s	pull they have to go through I'm sure
1337s	you know maybe I imagine a lot of these
1340s	teams are going to lean towards those
1341s	Maps whatever they seem to be winning on
1343s	most whether it be a circle well root or
1345s	watch Point really up for debate
1348s	well we are actually gonna have to wait
1350s	a little bit longer to see what those
1352s	maps are going to end up being as we're
1354s	only going to know Nepal to start things
1356s	off so I'm going to send it over to a
1358s	quick little video fly through and send
1361s	you guys over into the game
1376s	well thank you Ash for that one sorry
1379s	for that guys that's my fault honestly
1380s	just a little bit of brain lag for me
1381s	Moxie obviously coming into Nepal one of
1384s	the you know Premier maps that we have
1385s	in OverWatch and obviously Moxie I think
1387s	that the meta we talked about earlier
1389s	has changed but maybe we could talk
1390s	about a bit more maybe you could talk
1391s	about it a bit more what we obviously
1394s	expect to see what potentially could
1396s	happen any changes I think you already
1398s	kind of touched on it with the fact that
1400s	teams are playing more towards previous
1401s	meta yeah so we are playing on live
1404s	patch this is indeed the cast movement
1407s	burden nade patch so we are going to see
1409s	the Jungle Queen Nerf as well in terms
1411s	of how much health she's able to
1412s	regenerate with that shout them may uh
1415s	buff has come through as well making it
1417s	a little bit harder to be able to play
1419s	that romantra I know a lot of teams
1421s	towards the emea side of things are
1424s	actually wanting to prefer the Reinhardt
1426s	purely because you can use that Shield a
1427s	lot more frequently to be able to try
1430s	and cut out that nice slow building up
1432s	so that you have a little bit more
1433s	movement as opposed to the ram who he
1435s	drops the shield once the main moves
1437s	past the slow begins and he's just
1439s	absolutely slow to a snail's face and is
1442s	very quickly run over by the rest of
1444s	that maze team but that's on places like
1446s	lijiang with control center where you're
1448s	going to be up close and personal and
1450s	brawling for very small spaces here
1453s	where the map is a little bit wider and
1454s	those flank rights are a little bit more
1456s	prominent we're still most likely going
1458s	to be seeing a little bit of that pipe
1460s	face come through but a lot of traces
1462s	some were trying to wide into that back
1463s	line pick up a very early kill and
1465s	immediately find the numbers advantage
1467s	to just brute force a fight and on on
1470s	that note box I mean obviously like I
1471s	said a lot of tracers song but
1473s	potentially could come through I think
1475s	that it's kind of underestimated how
1476s	hard it is to play those compositions
1478s	right I think that a lot of you know
1480s	communication is required a lot of those
1482s	fantastic Winston players that uh
1485s	realistically you know like a lot of the
1487s	Korean teams can play extremely well
1488s	it's hard for maybe a lot of these other
1490s	regions to kind of step up to that level
1492s	that's why I mean Moxie from the outside
1494s	we can see you know like each region
1496s	kind of is known for their own specific
1497s	thing I feel like we've seen a lot of
1499s	you know Ryan Rush brawl via the
1502s	European region then in the Korean
1503s	region we see a lot of the dive then in
1505s	the North American region we see a lot
1507s	of maybe pokey stuff I mean like why do
1509s	you think that's the case Moxie why do
1511s	you think we've seen each region kind of
1513s	develop their own individual play style
1515s	you know obviously meta will dictate
1517s	these things at times but it's kind of
1519s	interesting how everything is uh evolved
1521s	right I think that's what it was a bad
1523s	experience right you look at those
1524s	Korean and APAC regions and they always
1527s	really do like to push Winston even in
1529s	OverWatch one when we still had two
1531s	tanks they would be running double
1533s	bubble which was zarya and Winston and
1535s	having those years of experience just
1537s	allows you to have such good knowledge
1539s	of that hero and over here where we have
1541s	a couple less Winston memes most likely
1544s	going to be seeing the dealer if it is
1545s	that dive
1547s	yeah we'll see let's see what what teams
1549s	what the teams attempt to run um you
1552s	know obviously like we said potential
1553s	hero pool limits are a thing as well
1554s	right I mean it's like your hero pool
1556s	for the World Cup individual player-wise
1559s	obviously is that time's going to be
1561s	limited right that's why you see a lot
1562s	of these you know maybe maybe not less
1564s	regions but less known regions players
1566s	that are still working their way up
1568s	maybe have a little bit more limited
1570s	hero pools uh but coming to this one
1572s	obviously we're already going to see a
1574s	lineup between these two teams we're
1575s	going to see a lot of our matcha or
1577s	matcha versus the diva today Moxie yeah
1579s	this is gonna be really interesting
1580s	because everyone from Colombia is
1582s	basically just going to be incredibly
1583s	mobile and can sidestaff or just boost
1585s	over that may wall so Diego's gonna have
1587s	a hard time actually being able to pin
1589s	some of these players down
1591s	already standing off in the beginning
1593s	super Gomez playing on the outside eqo
1595s	finds the Lucio of Rodrigo on the back
1598s	side also the immortality build was used
1600s	so a lot of cooldowns already out of
1602s	Peru's side while Colombia maintains a
1604s	relatively healthy position sitting on
1606s	the middle of this point still up a
1608s	member as well in this fight for Rodrigo
1610s	will come back into the fight Point
1611s	still not flip Columbia not able to take
1613s	advantage of that early attack now we'll
1615s	look for that back line but reloc are
1617s	translocating out is EQ on the back side
1621s	Eternal still playing poking around the
1622s	back as well but backer is the one to
1624s	find the opening on to eqo as well take
1626s	that somber out early super Gomez loses
1628s	the mech as well in first fight even
1630s	though they lost the member early we
1632s	will win the fight and take the
1634s	objective first really good mayweals
1636s	coming from Diego they just made sure
1638s	that Colombia did not manage to really
1640s	support that tank in super Gomez now is
1642s	actually going to be off of that Diva
1644s	understands that if he boosts into
1646s	Peru's team no one else is going to be
1649s	able to accompany him he is going to be
1651s	left alone and when you're running
1652s	kiriko and Lucio that Dave and like such
1654s	a huge hitbox doesn't have enough
1655s	sustainability and it's going to be a
1657s	mirror to come through however Yukio is
1659s	so close to EMP is sticking on the
1661s	sunblock we'll see if you can have the
1663s	follow-up in this fight it's Eternal to
1665s	find the opening shot of the Persona
1667s	with the May Ice with nice shot from
1669s	Eternal on the re-engage as well to run
1671s	into poke with that immortality field
1673s	and the amplification Matrix eventually
1675s	have to rotate around EMP ready to go
1677s	pops the EMP right into Lucio and
1679s	eventually we'll find Rodrigo as well as
1681s	hope basketball's already traded super
1683s	Gomez without the tank in the fight I
1684s	don't think Colombia can actually win
1686s	this unless they've managed to get picks
1688s	on the back side and one out of this
1689s	Nemesis form but Eternal trades back
1691s	Diego Diego did find mix Viva
1693s	Baskerville still on this point is
1695s	pumping out that damage as well has the
1697s	new up hog unfortunately can eventually
1699s	not they do have the beat on the point
1701s	even though they lost Baskerville and
1703s	Peru holds on to the point absolutely
1705s	gorgeous field both supports get hit by
1707s	the EMP and almost immedley taken down
1709s	but Baskerville goes into Annihilation
1711s	knowing that Colombia are going to have
1713s	have to try to gather on to that point
1715s	to actually find the flip and they're
1716s	taking so much chunk damage from the ram
1718s	that they just do not have the means of
1720s	being able to ice him in that prolonged
1722s	Nemesis form now we're going to see off
1723s	of the Thunder onto the reaper just
1724s	trying to draw and close the distance as
1726s	fast as possible overport comes through
1728s	from Persona going to be peeled away by
1730s	that blizzard to come through from
1731s	Colombia this should be and I'm finally
1732s	finding the flip but Peru is still
1734s	touching and not giving it up if
1736s	Colombia have almost moving a lot of
1738s	these fights but really have had trouble
1740s	kind of closing out on the objective
1743s	they found those two picks now Pope
1745s	still here on the back side but has to
1746s	deal with super Gomez who is pummeling
1748s	in ETO finally gets you Rodriguez well
1750s	in the delay comes through from Peru
1753s	can't get up Sandy from 99 sadly but 95
1755s	is pretty solid percentage as the point
1757s	flips for Colombia which is that's much
1759s	between these two at the moment
1762s	goes for a calm Swap and then the other
1764s	side calm swaps alongside it Persona
1766s	sees that Reaper and raises a cold
1768s	Cassidy that need is going to come into
1769s	effect massively by canceling out both
1772s	the Moira Fade to Lucio jump as well as
1774s	egos teleport and rape if he gets hit by
1776s	your need he's done for yeah it's one of
1779s	all sort of rather super Gomez
1781s	on the point goes incredibly low gets
1784s	poked out early both teams kind of
1786s	running at each other's face now super
1788s	Gomez pops their ultimate while running
1790s	into the entirety of Peru tries to get
1792s	the damage in there and eventually mix V
1794s	does find Persona they get it poked down
1796s	on the back side Eco is low needs a bit
1797s	of healing so they can't really go too
1799s	hard on the inside especially versus
1801s	Brew who has that may while ready to get
1803s	it's ready to go on Diego's side they're
1805s	still patiently waiting on that top
1807s	angle as Peru regroups down below does
1810s	have like SUNY rush so they can easily
1811s	engage but will have to deal with hugs
1813s	coat lessons at the end during this my
1816s	eco is still sitting above with that
1817s	death Blossom they're able to find
1819s	Baskerville before he's able to pop any
1821s	ultimates with the cool from Colombia so
1823s	now this is Brew's opportunity to reset
1825s	back up and try to regroup yeah but
1827s	that's coalescence gone Peru because
1829s	they're going to have this kissing
1830s	enough to couple with that Annihilation
1832s	they're sitting at 95 all they need is
1834s	one king kill Calandra on the other hand
1836s	to have to poke and pressure these kills
1838s	away throwing ultimates in to buy
1840s	themselves point percentage to have any
1842s	chance at equalizing What Peru have
1844s	already gained
1846s	Peru walking through Maine last fight
1848s	territory now eqo still waiting with
1850s	that death Blossom ready to go but Peru
1851s	have the ultimate Advantage they pop the
1853s	continued Rush early maywall off the
1856s	back of the team yep eqo is still
1857s	waiting around the main side with the
1858s	death Blossom patiently waiting for us
1860s	off between there's the annihilation
1862s	push on that front side from through b
1864s	drops out as well from both sides still
1866s	waiting to use that ultimate Diego's May
1868s	ultimate the blizzard zones out that
1870s	back line now eqo goes where the death
1872s	Blossom has the follow-up from Eternal
1874s	but eventually lose his life to Persona
1875s	who is traded out by super Gomez so
1877s	Colombia up one even this fight as well
1880s	as internal desperately trying to build
1881s	up towards that blizzard looking at the
1883s	tank player of basketball now drops the
1885s	blizzard into the back line able to find
1887s	Rodrigo with super Gomez combined for
1889s	two and Colombia make that 99 comeback
1892s	to take round number one it's all about
1894s	all tracking The Columns the target
1896s	focus and that last fight are absolutely
1899s	on point Persona is the player with an
1902s	ultimate that can immediately turn it
1904s	around for Peru you use that Montana you
1907s	get that zone you get that flip onto the
1908s	point and suddenly it becomes a matter
1911s	of attrition who's going to be able to
1913s	have those resources and ultimates to
1915s	sit and keep the point threatened away
1917s	from the other team to sustain until
1919s	their reinforcements come through the
1921s	cast gets taken down Deadeye doesn't get
1923s	to be used and honestly that momentum
1926s	scales from this moment right here EMP
1928s	coming in hitting both of those supports
1930s	nullifying a lot of that support utility
1932s	and finally allowing that swap as well
1935s	off the Sombra onto the reaper to really
1937s	get up close use The High Ground the
1939s	fact that every time Peru had to
1941s	approach they were forced through an
1943s	absolute stand still because EQ owes it
1945s	above them I mean you know in on top of
1948s	EQ I know we talked about them quite a
1949s	bit but you know Eternal able to find
1951s	those opening picks multiple times also
1953s	hugs as well playing Amazing so far on
1956s	that flat support opting to run a
1958s	similar composition except eqo on the
1960s	sojourn and hug back onto that Moira
1962s	meanwhile Peru playing that pinata
1964s	already get ran on early by eqo in the
1966s	speed boost in Columbia who have rotated
1968s	all the way around the point down pope
1970s	now Peru has to find that equalizing
1972s	pick they drop the immortality field the
1974s	keep Baskerville healthy but you can't
1976s	stop eqo finding the Tracer head of
1978s	Diego on the back side able to find
1980s	three in that fight alone now four for
1983s	eqo could potentially make it a five
1985s	piece but no Persona will find two on
1987s	the death but Colombia the first ones to
1989s	capture the point that's devastating for
1991s	Peru with that composition she really
1993s	want to be able to take control at that
1994s	point because you know that your erisa
1996s	is going to get separated with a male
1997s	wool so you can at least even if you
1999s	lose the fight find the value of
2000s	percentage game but they get absolutely
2002s	nothing now we're going to see
2004s	basketball off the Orissa onto the
2006s	rimatra post for post because I'm pretty
2008s	close to that Dragon strike so Colombia
2010s	do you have to be careful that they
2011s	don't get bottlenecks in land
2013s	aware of the one are getting Incredibly
2014s	Close like you mentioned no shots those
2017s	one shots are gonna be deadly on both
2018s	sides eqo obviously has that charge shot
2021s	ready to go still looking for Patron on
2023s	the back line also trying to find his
2025s	opening pick but eql does match it on
2027s	the left side gets him low on the back
2029s	has the dragon strike ready to go but
2030s	the coalescence from Hogs keeps his team
2032s	healthy as they try to go forward on
2033s	Peru who can't sustain all this damage
2036s	in fact now they lose Baskerville on top
2038s	of super Gomez popping his own ultimate
2040s	two of those on to nothing that Peru had
2042s	it was really tough for Peru they're
2044s	gonna have to reset now is the board
2046s	it's reaches 50 percent yeah and Persona
2048s	had to hold on to that Dragon too Peru's
2050s	Halifax was so low he didn't want to
2052s	throw the dragon strike into a team
2054s	fight knowing that they hadn't been able
2055s	to find the numbers Advantage they'll at
2057s	least have it for this one but you don't
2058s	really have it to Zone anything out
2060s	other than this over the clock that's
2061s	going to come through the second upper
2062s	step out of the choke disruptor shot to
2064s	make it even harder for them to approach
2066s	buys Colombia even more point percentage
2068s	on the board unfortunately EQ has been
2070s	so evasive on that backside does drop
2072s	that overclock into Peru's backside they
2074s	now ant Matrix the count drip but still
2076s	have to avoid a lot of those shots from
2078s	eqo Diego with the ant Matrix connects
2081s	on to hug on the back one able to find
2083s	that Moira early they then rotate
2085s	towards that point well up a man they
2088s	also have full lap control here Eternal
2091s	gets picked off by Persona and now Peru
2093s	is the one pressing the ganski running
2095s	onto eqo as well as Persona that's the
2097s	next re-engage from Peru but they might
2099s	be down and too far in terms of point
2100s	percentage they've got ultimates however
2102s	and they also now have control of these
2104s	trucks and sanctum is really horrible
2106s	once you lose control at that point
2107s	because you're always stepping out into
2109s	the open where Defenders have those
2111s	first
2113s	doesn't have the opportunity to build up
2115s	that old fire on the road and look for
2116s	one job
2117s	you know waiting for the wall but
2118s	they're well aware of it so there's an
2120s	eqo far left now Eternal engages with
2122s	that pleasure Diego also committed his
2124s	own but he's caught in the blizzard but
2125s	a nice immortality from folk keeps him
2127s	healthy as Persona Dragon strike
2129s	connects onto bulky kill and hug early
2131s	two picks as well for them nice counter
2134s	engaged to improve as Columbia attempted
2135s	to engage with a blizzard yeah it is
2137s	this Poco ever coming from Colombia
2139s	other than throwing in that blizzard
2141s	trying to bait ultimate out from Peru
2143s	and as a result her actually lost more
2145s	ultimates than Colombia now we're going
2147s	to be seeing a swap come through Yukio
2149s	off of that slogan understanding that
2151s	just Powers lighting and threatening
2152s	that pointless is not going to be enough
2154s	to buy the team's safety through this
2156s	show instead it's back towards that
2158s	Reaper using that right on to be able to
2159s	get up close and personal threaten some
2161s	of this utility Peru can't get picked
2164s	off here they're do they do hold their
2165s	scope though allowing Persona to get
2167s	that opening shot onto super Gomez even
2169s	through the beat drop from mixy or it
2171s	was a bit too late there and now mixby
2173s	does get that Boop on to Rodrigo though
2175s	who had the beat drop so maybe Colombia
2177s	could come back into this even though
2179s	they are down a man they still or they
2181s	do lose their tank player they found
2183s	that Lucio trade-off Rodrigo now has to
2186s	come back into this fight as Bixby
2187s	regroups the rest of that lineup now
2189s	Columbia will walk into the main half to
2191s	deal with this handmade some poke it
2192s	does get walled off giving them that
2193s	space But the beat drop re-engage Diego
2195s	finds Eternal as well as the backside
2198s	shot from Persona on to eqo cannot keep
2200s	them sustained however the
2202s	annihilation's still going from Super
2203s	Gomez Mitzi has looped off Diego he
2205s	killed Persona and he still has the
2207s	annihilation going but Rodrigo trades
2209s	him out finally it's over time it's now
2210s	ticking down Eternal has to swap over
2212s	the Tracer Bixby comes through to that
2214s	point to try to delay the point in that
2216s	overtime to give his team that chance
2218s	they need to come back and rickets
2220s	Baskerville does get poked down has to
2223s	back up from this point though
2225s	Colombia's actually regrouped and are
2227s	back on the point almost capturing up
2228s	Persona has baited the rest of Colombia
2231s	into a dragon strike to find mix via
2232s	blizzard to Zone as well and nobody else
2235s	can touch because of the blizzard Peru
2237s	will equalize it one to one oh it's not
2240s	just the blizzard it's the Target and
2241s	strike the dragon strike gets sent on to
2243s	point everyone from Colombia has to
2245s	actually swerve into that side room to
2248s	try and avoid it they don't want to use
2249s	things like the right foam because they
2251s	have to save it to get ego into position
2253s	to be able to use that death Blossom
2255s	then the blizzard comes through to make
2256s	sure that no one can touch they all get
2258s	Frozen up if they walk into line of
2260s	sight and they're able to take us one to
2263s	one we go to Village Peru and Colombia
2266s	what a matchup it's been from these
2268s	teams so far I wonder now if we see eqo
2271s	come in off of the rip on this Reaper or
2274s	whether or not he's gonna try and switch
2275s	back to that Sombra yeah maybe a little
2278s	bit of swaps nice zoom in there but
2279s	Persona actually you know he is a large
2281s	no Catalyst to why this team was able to
2284s	kind of slowly work things together for
2286s	Peru to equalize the series right on
2287s	Hanzo especially against no uh sojourn
2290s	after Iko made the swap really has to do
2293s	a lot of work and he managed to do it on
2295s	that third map now that's the upcoming
2297s	group and now we're immediately headed
2298s	back into Village and there it is Iko
2301s	off of the rip on that reefer both of
2303s	these teams mean to stay on this
2304s	conversation
2305s	they actually get shot out at the choke
2308s	and have to use the mortality field here
2310s	early in his finest Columbia look to
2312s	continue that pressure on the inside to
2314s	make sure that Persona is not given
2316s	space to work with but now they get it
2317s	they're able to walk out Eco has to
2319s	teleport back to the point Columbia is
2320s	kind of half split on fighting on The
2322s	High Ground and rotating to the point
2323s	Iko is already back in the point needs
2325s	that assistance from his team as true
2326s	tries to rotate over there they actually
2328s	lead Persona back behind but he's able
2330s	to join the rest of his team over the
2332s	ant Matrix was built by poke in that
2334s	fight what an incredibly fast ant Matrix
2336s	built by him to find that shot on Diego
2338s	on the mixed feed and eventually Peru
2340s	will win the first fight after a very
2342s	split kind of disengage from Colombia
2344s	and there is no punishment
2347s	um early because Colombia aren't running
2349s	anything that can really push onto the
2352s	team with an amplification Matrix of
2354s	their own they're not running the map so
2355s	Pope doesn't have to save it so be able
2357s	to window for window and keep the space
2359s	that Colombia tried to take from Peru
2362s	and Persona off of the back of that
2364s	damage not only survives but has a
2366s	dragon strike pulled up the next fight
2367s	who own the rest of Colombia ready to
2370s	walk through Maine 30 of the board have
2371s	built that Dragon strike like you said
2373s	but the Fate already comes through
2374s	knowing that cooldowns out will drop the
2375s	dragon strike from above will anybody
2377s	get picked off no but it does force the
2379s	cooldown from Eternal on the point ready
2380s	to go with that coalescence now though
2382s	is hog on the ringgate dropping the
2384s	blizzard as well from Eternal Persona
2386s	drops off the back to find the shots
2388s	into blizzard as well as the
2389s	annihilation trading player for player
2391s	it's just masterville and super Gomez
2393s	going ham going hand-in-hand moment but
2395s	super Gomez able to find first one and
2397s	now dealing with his counterpart on the
2399s	opposite side is basketball looking for
2400s	Hogs but hug manages to disengage as
2402s	super Gomez perfectly plays this rotates
2405s	around the point will now capture it
2407s	basketball has to come into delay but
2409s	eventually we'll get picked off at the
2410s	end oh and he gets tired now as well so
2413s	that's even more time going to be bold
2415s	for Colombia to be able to sit on this
2417s	High Ground EQ is going to have a death
2419s	Blossom when we head into this the good
2421s	news however is that Peru on up against
2423s	something like a tracer or Sombra so
2424s	they're not going to be bullied into
2426s	dropping immortality Filled from cloak
2427s	too early they should be able to negate
2429s	a massive majority of this challenge
2431s	well Persona nice shot on the hog as
2434s	they walk out of the joke giving them
2437s	that main Advantage Detail now has to
2438s	equalize it but super Gomez has found
2440s	two with the pumble and that beat drop
2442s	mix V dropping it for that team able to
2445s	give them this fight win another team
2448s	kill for Colombia no death wasn't needed
2450s	if they're going to come from this
2451s	rotation on The High Ground you've seen
2452s	how small this room is
2455s	everybody is stuck there everyone is
2457s	taking those hits and what are these
2459s	foresight so early they know that Peru
2460s	don't have meat to be able to match the
2462s	sustainability that Colombia can use and
2464s	they just get aggressive
2466s	Bruno has to walk out find those opening
2468s	picks against persona it's gonna be hard
2469s	they do have the ant Matrix though to
2471s	give them that damage he killed waiting
2472s	around the back are they aware of the
2474s	heel hiding around the corner it looks
2476s	like not an eqo comes into the back
2478s	takes down the immortality field and
2480s	also Rodrigo two basketball Builders
2482s	traded back ichio eventually fell during
2484s	the death Blossom also the dragon strike
2486s	here to find mixed speed gives Persona
2488s	that space to then walk forward with the
2490s	rest of his team but Eternal finds Pope
2492s	in that side as well they trade actually
2494s	one for one as the point now goes up to
2496s	75 Columbia still are in charge with the
2499s	coal lessons now 80 percent of the board
2501s	last five territory for Peru that is
2504s	however coalescence having to be burned
2506s	late in that fight in Peru they're going
2509s	to be swapping onto these fast Speedy
2511s	Heroes who can self-sustain and solve
2513s	for this point as long as possible
2515s	because they know coal wasn't isn't
2517s	going to be that to save the team
2518s	through Annihilation all blizzards just
2520s	go straight to points drop Annihilation
2522s	find the flap that Colombia is waiting
2524s	to meet them
2525s	yeah what a perfect Blizzard from
2527s	Eternal to Zone and nobody else can
2529s	touch either Colombia will stop Peru on
2534s	Nepal and take map number one it looks
2537s	some of it like it's going to be a
2538s	pretty long matchup between these two
2540s	teams right they had very much a good
2542s	understanding of what each other's Wing
2544s	conditions were but at the end of the
2546s	day when you're in control of the Paul
2548s	Village and you haven't makes it up on
2550s	the point you have that wall you have
2551s	that blizzard no one is going to be able
2554s	to get through those jokes and actually
2556s	touch on to that point they played it
2558s	absolutely perfectly for the comp
2560s	you know a fantastic work from them
2562s	overall and uh now obviously map number
2565s	two is going to be quite interesting to
2566s	see what it is I think a lot of uh maybe
2568s	the narrative should be monsters a lot
2570s	of these teams you know have fantastic
2571s	mechanical players but maybe a lot of
2573s	that practice time needs to come through
2575s	obviously you know as these teams get
2577s	more and more comfortable to get better
2578s	at making engagements but you saw at
2581s	Moxie a lot of these fights were kind of
2582s	split at points a lot of the it was kind
2584s	of messy OverWatch at times for both
2586s	teams maybe towards the end with
2588s	eternals blizzard it really kind of
2589s	capitalized for this team but overall it
2592s	seems a bit messy at times for both
2594s	rosters yeah there's a lot of ultimate
2597s	trading that's coming through from both
2599s	of these sides where they try and punish
2601s	the early aggression like there's one
2603s	opportunity actually where Peru throws
2604s	in a dragon strike incredibly late
2606s	anticipating that Colombia is going to
2608s	be doing that same sort of play well we
2609s	saw them aggressively push into that
2610s	side room and try and use that ramatra
2612s	so Dragon strike tries to come out and
2614s	catch them to punish if they are going
2616s	as aggressive as they had previously
2618s	because obviously they don't have that
2620s	sound barrier to be able to do it
2621s	however we're going to get to see what
2623s	Ash has to think because if it looks a
2625s	little bit Scrappy to us it probably
2627s	looked a little bit Scrappy to her as
2629s	well oh it definitely looks crappy but I
2632s	mean on that second point there with on
2635s	Nepal here Brew equalizing with that
2639s	last minute cap so so tight to even just
2641s	take it all the way to Village right but
2644s	what a first matchup and it's still a
2647s	best of three so a huge opportunity for
2649s	Peru to still make that comeback at the
2651s	end of the day but overall I mean that
2654s	was just great stuff coming out from
2656s	both sides I'm really interested to see
2657s	how they do continue to adapt on further
2660s	their moxie I was definitely Scrappy
2663s	though like there's one thing that we
2664s	can say about control that holds true to
2667s	every single OverWatch match that we see
2669s	on control and that's if you lose that
2671s	first fight chances of you actually
2673s	taking the point overall very very slim
2676s	to none so the fact that we saw both
2678s	teams actually on those first two
2679s	opening points being able to turn around
2681s	of Lost first fight deficit goes to show
2684s	that ultimate economy was not always in
2686s	control whether or not it was because
2688s	some of those players wanted to try and
2690s	push the numbers advantage and regroup a
2691s	little bit faster when the other team
2693s	was still missing some of those players
2695s	or whether or not it was the agenda I'm
2697s	going a little bit too over aggressive
2699s	that's going to be up in the air but
2701s	moving forward I think if one team sees
2703s	that okay this other side is a little
2706s	bit quick to press that cue they're
2708s	going to find a significant advantage
2710s	well we'll see who's able to find the
2712s	better Advantage going into the second
2714s	matchup that we are seeing between these
2716s	two teams as we talk over some of these
2719s	replays that we're seeing here Dustin I
2722s	need to know also your overall thoughts
2724s	of this first game
2726s	uh yeah I think obviously it's it's a
2728s	close one between these two teams I
2730s	think Peru you know at times look really
2731s	really strong and for you know
2733s	Colombia's side to eventually close it
2735s	out definitely is uh I think we're in
2737s	for a good series I think it's just
2738s	overall my opinion is it's just that
2740s	seems like Persona and eqo kind of going
2742s	hand in hand Eternal at times also
2743s	finding some made picks this is kind of
2745s	what I wanted to see out of the World
2746s	Cup ash a lot of these individual
2748s	players kind of now coming out really
2751s	out of a long break for a lot of them
2752s	not able to be in World Cup or even at
2754s	times contenders can now come out and
2756s	show what they really got I think it's
2758s	an exciting time for World of one
2760s	yeah I think that's a really cool thing
2762s	all about this as well because it's the
2764s	first World Cup that we're seeing here
2765s	for OverWatch too specifically it was a
2768s	long Hiatus since the last one and just
2771s	new opportunities for again we talked
2773s	about it a lot during the pre-show
2774s	before these teams to have some new
2776s	players that we might not know as well
2778s	just coming into that Limelight and
2780s	showing what they have to bring to the
2783s	table but looking over these replays we
2785s	saw some really great individual plays
2787s	both teams though again they had really
2790s	great reads as far as timings with those
2792s	uh ultimate specifically just to be able
2795s	to stagger those know when you know
2797s	there were great reads coming out for
2798s	when one team might not have to sustain
2800s	if you use that the earlier on and
2802s	whatnot and just looking to counter that
2804s	overall with some other plays coming
2806s	through but looking forward into the
2810s	remainder of this matchup as well I know
2811s	we have to wait a little bit longer
2813s	because we are going to see who maybe
2816s	that little MVP was in that first game
2818s	initially but I think do you have your
2821s	bets on anybody
2822s	so I'm even though they lost the map
2825s	I've got to give it to Persona honestly
2827s	there was some really clutch moments the
2829s	fact that we actually got to see that uh
2830s	that 1v1 that Arrow connecting on to
2833s	Eternal so many times really goes to
2835s	show how important it was to be able to
2837s	actually allow them to take sanctum
2839s	because a journal is super close to
2841s	blizzard right and they're behind in
2843s	terms of poly percentages while they're
2844s	trying to use that Dragon strike
2845s	practice Zone and stall out so that
2847s	Colombia can't literally just walk onto
2849s	Point drop the blizzard and find that
2851s	clip immediately turning through onto
2853s	the back foot so the fact that you don't
2854s	actually have to wait that cap out
2856s	because of the blizzard just not being
2858s	there huge for the team
2860s	okay we'll see we'll see Dustin do you
2863s	agree with that or do you think that our
2865s	MVP is going to be somebody maybe
2866s	different uh I I think I would like
2868s	definitely agree Persona was a standout
2870s	player I think it's it's a little too
2871s	early to call to be honest it feels like
2873s	uh between four different players
2874s	Persona
2876s	Eternal eqo and then also uh hog at
2879s	times I think that realistically it
2880s	could go up to anybody still as uh the
2883s	match progresses
2884s	all good well apparently we are going to
2886s	wait a little bit longer to see those
2889s	time but we're just going to
2892s	consider the time being though I'm
2893s	really curious to see what a second map
2896s	will end up pending out to be going into
2899s	the second round and little drum roll
2901s	it's actually going to be King's Row
2903s	here Moxie I mean no surprises when you
2906s	lose a map and OverWatch you get the
2908s	opportunity to take us to the one
2911s	afterwards and I guarantee you nine
2913s	times out of ten when you ask any
2914s	OverWatch player where they would like
2916s	to go it's going to be King's Row this
2918s	is stomping grounds for a reason so many
2920s	compositions are incredibly viable we've
2923s	seen Winston come through we've seen
2925s	Diva come through Reinhardt had a lot of
2928s	viability as well when he wasn't
2930s	actually that viable in any other than
2932s	that besides kingsro but Peru taking us
2935s	here they can go dive or they can try
2937s	and go back towards that Ram which is
2939s	really where they look the strongest and
2941s	on that note box yeah I feel like
2943s	obviously you called the last nap but
2945s	Persona on the Hanzo it's always going
2946s	to be an incredibly strong hero for map
2949s	like King's Row where Hanzo can find
2951s	those opening picks even a lot easier
2952s	than you can on Nepal the fact that
2954s	person was even able to get a lot of
2956s	those shots when when you didn't have a
2958s	lot of space on King's Road you're
2959s	afforded more of that opportunity and
2961s	maybe can uh play more towards that
2964s	Hanzo composition to equalize the series
2966s	one to one I mean you know me whenever
2968s	we were casting this in contenders and
2970s	we had that discussion of who is better
2973s	on King sword defense Han Solo casty I
2975s	would always give it so even when Cal
2977s	State had that extra 25 health because
2979s	you have that ability to be able to not
2982s	just play the off angles but also keep
2983s	yourself safe when you do get jumped
2987s	really good points we made there
2989s	especially with Honda having a little
2990s	bit of Nerf within this most recent
2991s	patch right overall but oh yeah yeah so
2994s	that's something to also keep in mind
2996s	it's kind of crazy almost to think about
2998s	it Dustin with the patch having been
3000s	like so like I was about to say soon
3003s	after but it's before yeah you know
3005s	you're picking up what I'm putting down
3007s	yeah having it come out so shortly
3010s	before OverWatch World Cup and just
3012s	having to keep all those factors in mind
3014s	oh that's it's so hard to adjust I think
3016s	that obviously you know as a player you
3018s	want a lot of time to maybe work out
3020s	those keys kind of maybe as a team you
3023s	know figure out what the ideal play
3024s	style is and you know that those type of
3026s	things do take weeks at a time but
3029s	obviously as viewers you know as fans of
3031s	the game we always want to see the most
3033s	recent patch you don't want to see the
3034s	newest Maps no matter what bugs exist no
3037s	matter what changes come through what no
3038s	matter what's overpowered we always just
3040s	want to see what's newest right it's
3042s	always the most fun whenever you watch
3043s	OverWatch you know after a brand new
3045s	patch because realistically any hero
3048s	could be viable that just got buffed or
3050s	nerfed and you know that really changes
3052s	a lot of the dynamic of the game because
3053s	you know I feel like a lot of OverWatch
3055s	fans from the Casual perspective just
3056s	have individual Heroes they really like
3059s	and you know coming into this one
3061s	obviously a lot of Heroes changed around
3063s	and entirely new meta now in this game
3065s	well we are gonna head into this second
3068s	map now here for this best of three so
3071s	we'll see if Colombia can take it all
3072s	the way or if Peru can take it one to
3074s	one Moxie Dustin take it away
3077s	thank you Ash and obviously King's Row
3079s	like you said Moxie is going to be a map
3081s	that uh you know we could see a lot of
3084s	that either Hanzo maybe even the new
3086s	Cassidy at points but you're always
3088s	partial to the Hanzo aren't you yeah I I
3090s	love the hands like the ability to be
3092s	able to control the chokes yes he did
3094s	get a little bit of a Nerf in terms of
3096s	like the storm Arrow doing five less
3097s	damage per hour that connects but you
3100s	still have the means of being able to
3101s	chunk through a lot of that shielding
3103s	especially if it's something like a
3105s	Winston bubble or just burn through so
3107s	much of that Diva's defense Matrix as
3108s	well as keep yourself safe the fact that
3110s	Cassidy with that nade does only connect
3113s	onto one player as well makes it
3116s	incredibly easy to be able to bait out
3118s	if you do have that sort of two-pronged
3120s	attack coming through of something like
3121s	a tracer following up on a diva or even
3123s	just a choice of Sombra working together
3125s	to take the cowboy down
3128s	I wonder if I wonder if both of these
3130s	teams really because I I you saw Moxie
3132s	on map number one you know eqo is
3134s	obvious on the Sombra but you know at
3135s	times maybe that engaged because they
3137s	found the opening pick on on round
3138s	number one of Nepal but you know we're
3141s	not able to fully follow through with
3143s	that Sombra and look Moxie they're
3144s	changing to more Pokemon to rely on
3146s	maybe a bit more mechanical skill from
3148s	eql that's also full of hell right
3149s	trying to get us on the past that church
3151s	through the soul neck coming first from
3153s	the Hanzo which goes to go away you all
3155s	in cell phones early in Metallica gets
3157s	immediately blitzed down by eqo Colombia
3159s	just playing the base of the statue
3161s	absolutely perfectly finding the picks
3163s	necessary bye week you're so much room
3165s	to be able to land these hours entirely
3168s	uncontastic no one on Peru even gets the
3170s	chance to look at him nope I mean I I
3172s	love to see kill back in the game again
3174s	obviously they found the pick from Mixie
3176s	on Lucio who has been playing Amazing so
3178s	far by the way uh taking a very fast
3181s	point a Monster yeah and they can't even
3183s	really go towards choke at the moment
3185s	because they have to still contest of
3186s	eqo they're a matter about attention is
3189s	entirely spent using that Shield to
3191s	block some of those poke hours coming
3192s	through to make sure the Peru squishy
3194s	survived the engagement towards art
3196s	where most of these teams now will buy
3198s	over peruticals all the time off of the
3200s	clock that's going down one handle
3203s	already and just miss Colombia can get
3204s	aggressive I love it I love how EQ I was
3207s	like screw on this Sombra BS I'm just
3209s	gonna swap to Hanzo take those two
3210s	opening picks make it a Three swap him
3213s	over to the Han Zone he'll carry you to
3214s	victory Colombia another fight win for
3216s	them I tell you what I used to be a
3218s	player in the OverWatch World Cup
3220s	conferences in 2023 until I took about
3224s	12 EQ hours not for the knee but
3227s	definitely for the head he is hitting
3228s	these shots and not slowing down anytime
3232s	soon and unfortunately because Hanzo
3233s	just killed so many people so quickly
3235s	the ultimate economy is entirely
3237s	lopsided oh for sure Eternal also build
3239s	up towards that blizzard Columbia doing
3242s	a great job building up towards those
3243s	ultimate post on towards that Anna for
3245s	this competition Maybe gives them a bit
3247s	more potential with the anti grenade but
3249s	like it's like right at the corner
3251s	knowing where Basket Village is waiting
3253s	to pop the dragons like Vortex here as
3255s	well into the blizzard they do Zone it
3257s	back but with their with their May stuck
3259s	out Diego will get picked off super
3261s	Gomez also pops the ultimate runs
3263s	towards that backland to find three EQ
3265s	also finds Persona and so far they do
3268s	commit every Ultimate besides beat but
3270s	it's yet again another fight win for
3272s	Colombia and now they've secured what
3275s	they want to they secured a team kill so
3276s	they've immediately gift wrapped High
3278s	Ground for eqo it doesn't matter if you
3280s	don't have ultimates if you can one shot
3281s	them before the fight starts Phoebe
3283s	finds it looking towards the back you
3285s	storm arrowing opening Nerf came through
3287s	in the race and Pat the wall hits
3289s	Rodrigo Persona does trade it back
3291s	Avengers his teammate but they now need
3294s	to find a little bit more space on The
3295s	High Ground actually gives it up early
3297s	as he notices his team is low to drop
3299s	the dragon strike may be looking for a
3300s	bit of a positional Advantage also
3302s	fading out as hug though so no kill but
3304s	at least zone now for Colombia as they
3306s	regroup with eql yeah foreign
3317s	yes I could be baited into throwing an
3320s	ultimate that they don't want to they
3322s	pop the Nano going to the back line into
3324s	that Nemesis form looking for that
3326s	whatever but does fade away notices that
3329s	eternals caught out a bit has to use
3330s	that Vice block four but now the
3332s	ultimate gets ran out black Baskerville
3334s	has to Zone to the left with the
3335s	blizzard to try to cap the lines here as
3337s	well also does commit that ultimate late
3339s	in this fight so they commit both
3342s	blizzard and annihilation do find the
3344s	kills off of it at least and also find a
3346s	late pick on a super Gomez but Colombia
3347s	only committing the beat drop to bait
3349s	out to Ultimate Sarah they're going to
3351s	have dragon strike as well as blizzard
3353s	and Annihilation plus coalescence to
3356s	sustain through the snowball Peru cannot
3358s	afford to get split when this next
3360s	dragonfly comes out that was what we saw
3362s	being used the last time to catch all of
3364s	this team away from that loser's
3366s	disengagement in Colombia are definitely
3368s	looking for the same oh my God it should
3370s	be extremely big they find Baskerville
3373s	on the engage that's a four-person
3375s	assist on to Baskerville as well super
3377s	Gomez trades back Diego eqo does take
3379s	some shots from Poe but Peru just
3381s	running into this fight a bit of a drive
3383s	fight for them Persona does trade out
3384s	hug but he's already lost the entirety
3387s	of his team leading to pretty much last
3388s	fight territory for them yeah this play
3390s	was
3397s	oh Chase is down Baskerville no
3400s	rematcher for the next 30 seconds and
3403s	now he's just going to play binder at
3404s	these ballon doors yeah he's had to swap
3406s	to the wrecking ball they're gonna have
3407s	to recontest with
3409s	Also may uh blocked early expecting the
3411s	beat drop to be there in time but of
3413s	course the Regal a bit too late to save
3414s	Diego nicely on a super Gomez but the
3417s	entire team of poke is gone and just
3419s	Baskerville on that payload Persona gets
3421s	spawned game by super Gomez and now they
3424s	have three minutes in 13 seconds they
3426s	capture it on King's Row what an amazing
3428s	time for Colombia
3430s	we were worried about eqo coming back
3432s	after so long outside of the competitive
3435s	Esports scene of OverWatch we did not
3437s	have to be worried
3439s	we did not have to be worried in the
3441s	slightest he is absolutely monstrous at
3444s	the moment hitting all of these hard
3445s	shots finding those kills necessary
3447s	buying them point a so quickly and even
3451s	then they just get to continue to push
3453s	through all these normally problematic
3455s	spaces that the defense uses
3457s	traditionally to whittle your time Mic
3459s	away here right here finding that
3461s	headshot on to a rubber body shot onto
3463s	Persona meaning that the hamster is not
3466s	there to frighten that space that one
3467s	shot potential for the Squishies to have
3469s	to keep in check and play around those
3471s	natural walls that just means that
3473s	everyone else on the team gets to go
3474s	aggressive gets to closing and make sure
3476s	that none of the time is spent staring
3479s	at a wall so I will say Moxie I will be
3482s	a little bit Negative Nancy here I'm
3483s	maybe right now in this current series
3485s	versus Peru the swap dho is great right
3487s	they look amazing with that swap but
3489s	obviously I mean you know better than
3490s	anybody once you go against a lot of
3492s	those really coordinated teams that
3493s	really know how to zone out the Hanzo
3495s	make sure that you're either on SoJO and
3498s	you can't find those opening picks on
3499s	the Sombra compositions that's when it
3502s	gets tough so realistically the series
3504s	against Peru they could look good at the
3506s	moment but I'm curious to see how this
3508s	goes forward for them against some of
3511s	the more coordinated lineups in the
3512s	World Cup yeah doesn't there's a little
3514s	bit oh well a little bit a lot of over
3516s	investment in terms of ultimates but
3518s	we're going to see an entirely different
3519s	composition come through from Peru this
3521s	is as king So as you get Ryan Hart Lucio
3525s	Iko immediately sees that movement to
3527s	hotel to make sure the crew doesn't get
3528s	its ability to use a lot of utilities
3530s	swap into Hotel check and get the
3533s	cooldowns back up and push on point this
3535s	is a falling apart I mean nice
3538s	shots for persona but yeah maybe
3539s	eventually finds Diego and you gotta you
3542s	gotta check as you walk in you can't
3543s	just stick with one game plan not just
3545s	based on what's Happening you're already
3547s	shot in the side and they just chose to
3549s	ignore it now they're on the back of the
3551s	point now able to find the kills though
3552s	is Columbia this has been a problem for
3553s	them before they lose eqo basketball
3555s	comes back into it Colombia not able to
3557s	finish on the targets that were really
3560s	pretty easy to finally kill as they were
3562s	stuck in that left side now Peru have
3565s	the have the Gokey they walk forward
3567s	towards that point already have up the
3569s	two ticks the rinky test is going to be
3570s	incredibly difficult now at this race I
3572s	don't think are going to Recon past they
3574s	have to wait for it to another respawn
3575s	now they've given up that point but
3577s	they've chosen to defend around this
3579s	truck if you can find a pick oh my
3581s	goodness Diego goes so incredibly low if
3585s	that may have gone down Colombia
3586s	instantly gets so much time back on that
3589s	clock off of Peru's attack but they're
3591s	able to save the me and now we just go
3593s	back to the stalemate
3595s	yeah now eql is able to spam nobody
3597s	really picked potential wise besides
3599s	Persona they have to get that space But
3600s	already taking two storm out shots in
3602s	the dome it's not ideal also that Shield
3604s	goes incredibly low they have to commit
3605s	the immortality field through out of
3607s	cooldowns they need to find kills now
3608s	but into a dragon strike I'm not sure
3610s	how they do eqo with the storm Arrow
3613s	finds onto Diego and with the dragon
3615s	strike onto poke and super Gomez
3616s	combines for another one that's a 3K
3618s	free qo in Colombia gorgeous games they
3621s	know that no one from Peru can really
3623s	play right behind that Ryan Shield
3625s	because they're going to go right into
3626s	the pulmonary Cliff coming through from
3627s	Super Gomez so eqr extends the dragon
3629s	strike not behind the Rhine but to the
3631s	side of him where everyone of Peru that
3634s	squishies are playing on that payload
3635s	and instantly it splits the Ryan away
3637s	from his sustainability and also splits
3640s	the team away from that tank to be able
3641s	to absorb all of the damage when
3643s	Colombia get out bro Sonic over the top
3645s	and that's a pretty obvious High Noon
3647s	down below no kill for them but just the
3649s	Zone towards that cart maybe they just
3650s	wanted to get through that show against
3652s	Colombia who have that ultimate from
3655s	Super Gomez Eternal off also up to that
3657s	blizzard there's the amplification
3658s	Matrix Persona also kills super Gomez
3660s	before they're able to commit any
3662s	ultimate Iko still finding a lot of
3663s	damage on the left side but Persona also
3666s	connects on the mixty and Colombians
3667s	want to die on that car get another
3669s	fight in that free space oh look at the
3671s	end
3671s	of the announcements that they had to
3672s	use to actually be able to get that
3677s	they lost super Gomez early in this
3679s	fight but still the lining it means they
3680s	still have Annihilation and sound bar to
3682s	keep the spermato chopped up to full
3684s	health and play aggressively against her
3687s	who do have that blizzard to be able to
3688s	Zone the romantra back yeah Diego could
3691s	get a big blizzard but
3693s	Colombia I've done a good job of reading
3695s	where Diego is sitting with the blizzard
3696s	we'll see if they could do it again
3697s	basketball waiting on that left side
3699s	every second they spend those sitting in
3701s	neutral game DQ could finally shot
3702s	blizzard towards the cart the counter
3704s	the blizzard of Eternal actually does
3706s	count Cat super Gomez but the B drop to
3708s	sustain him it's not enough too much
3710s	damage on the side of Peru's side
3711s	basketball goes incredibly low but does
3713s	have that pocket from both poke and
3715s	Rodriguez meanwhile Diego looking for
3717s	that left side flank angle of Columbia
3718s	as they tempt actually run onto ikeo
3720s	making sure none on that space is
3722s	afforded to make sure they shut down
3724s	that DPS player who has been a nuisance
3726s	in really a thorn in the side of Peru as
3729s	personas able to do whatever he wants
3731s	now that ikyo is gone they finally kill
3734s	Mix B as well there's a cool lessons
3735s	that was late from hugs maybe
3737s	ill-advised they do have super Gomez
3738s	here High Noon pop just to make sure
3741s	they win this fight they don't want to
3742s	maybe commit too many ultimates but
3744s	super Gomez rotates back in the dragon
3746s	Trek is here Colombia wants to win right
3748s	here and right now but a shatter is
3750s	committed from Baskerville who is one HP
3751s	on to Super Soul match but the follow-up
3753s	damage is not there and the Recon test
3755s	is successful from Colombia whose backs
3758s	were against the wall custom so many
3759s	ultimates but my goodness that's going
3761s	to do absolute devastation to Peru's
3764s	overall longevity in terms of time bank
3766s	even if they make it into Point C
3767s	they're going to have even less time
3769s	than Colombia already have been able to
3771s	pick up as we see the slots come through
3774s	Baskerville going to be off that
3776s	Reinhardt leaves it too vulnerable once
3778s	that Shield just gets absolutely
3780s	Shattered by eqo's poke onto that
3782s	ramatro to try to match this poke coming
3785s	through from Colombia now a lot of these
3787s	fights Colombia just straight up should
3788s	not be winning but he's coming out on
3790s	top mechanically Over the Top Gun drop
3792s	that storm Mill not able to find the
3793s	kill but Bates Rodrigo into fighting him
3796s	meanwhile Aunt major UPS on the low
3797s	ground trying to find that poke damage
3799s	on the low but not able to get a kill
3801s	just down on anybody Eco goes aggressive
3803s	on Rodrigo who is trying to deal that
3805s	damage out but down to three HP to that
3807s	minute grid but Persona eventually Pope
3809s	jumps up to get that killed but it's far
3811s	too late Diego is also gone Colombia
3814s	have the main advantage will now regroup
3816s	around this corner with a minute and 30
3817s	seconds left as Peru falls back so yeah
3821s	stock effects Mario robe comes for lamp
3824s	actually invested from Peru just in case
3827s	it was much rather waste that cooldown
3829s	and have it and all of that plays alive
3832s	for this next fight because it is going
3833s	to be the last regroup that they get
3835s	before we're into overtime panic a
3837s	blizzard from Eternal has been big
3839s	before waiting on that corner Peru in a
3842s	really rough spot to deal with it
3843s	Annihilation being built up from Super
3845s	Gomez as well neutral fight now
3848s	happening Peru actually wants to walk in
3849s	set up for Sonos towards that Pub side
3851s	they poke him out see the blizzard on
3852s	the cart with the beat drop from Diego
3854s	It's a Great Blizzard to zone out
3856s	Columbia's most incredibly low but both
3859s	Blizzard's not able to find kills just
3861s	get the annihilation reengage he's now
3863s	Eternal sound that shot on the Persona
3865s	again with 38 seconds left also the
3868s	annihilation is doing quite a lot of
3869s	damage to kill Baskerville there as well
3871s	Peru often not used in the ultimates get
3874s	one last fight one last break of deaths
3876s	with their ultimates the eqr is moving
3878s	into possessions available to stop just
3880s	that it's gonna be an overtime push and
3882s	they're going to have a dragon strike
3883s	dust and we've seen this song in dance
3885s	before you don't put your hands though
3887s	into a position where he can get picked
3889s	you sit back you hold on to your
3890s	ultimate and then you throw it onto the
3892s	cart one Peru don't have any time left
3893s	and have no means of being able to dodge
3896s	the damage
3897s	we're having to play this well Geo comes
3899s	through that pops out on the Tracer
3900s	though maybe that swap confuses eqo who
3902s	uses the cooldown to go aggressive that
3903s	could be detrimental he loses his life
3905s	Diego played that perfectly
3909s	aggressive towards the back of the pub
3910s	now no Hanzo from Colombia's side they
3913s	have that beat drop to fight this but
3915s	Peru half that ultimate his Persona went
3917s	for that far Left Flank regroups to the
3919s	ranks of his team but is dealing with
3920s	super Gomez's damage eventually they're
3922s	able to find him and eventually the
3924s	annihilation all gets also gets rid of
3926s	Eternal mixby as well Falls him through
3928s	and overtime will capture out leading us
3930s	into third phase feature wanted that
3932s	angle to be able to send the dragons
3933s	right dead on the payload and catch all
3935s	of those players on the horizontal and
3938s	it left him oh so vulnerable to Diego
3940s	flanking in on that Tracer I'll still
3943s	have dragonstrike for this next fight
3944s	however and should be able to use it to
3946s	reclaim a lot of space specifically this
3948s	High Ground that Peru don't have the
3949s	means of being able to take away the
3951s	winning the cast still not the hand size
3952s	yeah
3953s	down the low ground having that trace on
3955s	the left side maybe that swap for Diego
3956s	could enable them Dragon strike
3958s	committed Diego now knows where that
3959s	Hanzo is is looking for that duel after
3961s	using his recoil back up to the mega
3963s	health pack but both sides kind of
3965s	avoiding the ultimate's full Spawn from
3967s	Diego Dragon strikes from eqo no Destro
3969s	get the hug has been aggressive with
3971s	this coalescence this is playing at the
3973s	back of the map Iko at The High Ground
3974s	it's not really contested Diego's pinged
3977s	him out so they're aware of those Hanzo
3979s	shots at the very least but now ready to
3981s	go speed on the back line looking freaky
3983s	who just dropped off does not have a lot
3984s	of those healings back on The High
3986s	Ground but a trooper Gomez could find
3987s	the opening pick under Persona Iko needs
3989s	some healing but Diego is there on the
3990s	back line however Columbia has already
3992s	gone forward down three with super Gomez
3994s	and a fantastic Annihilation on that
3996s	front line to give Columbia another
3998s	fight win and they're walking into a
4000s	blizzard and because they've gone for
4001s	these flank plays this annoyance coming
4003s	through from Diego to try to suck
4005s	resources away from Colombia's backline
4007s	they don't have the ballistic character
4010s	here we go one one should go more
4017s	oh my God eqos take down for something
4019s	for the beat drop looks even there now
4020s	Peru down on a man in overtime
4022s	Widowmaker usually does well but Diego
4024s	hands is able to find super Gomez their
4027s	tank player is also nice and healthy
4028s	with that implications Rodrigo did go
4031s	aggressive on each one of that Widow as
4033s	well and eventually Brew in overtime
4034s	again will win this fight
4036s	false bomb Annihilation amplification
4039s	Matrix Persona on that song we can
4041s	easily build up to an EMP Eco onto the
4044s	hand so immediately Sonic should be able
4046s	to Ping out Diego's location to make it
4048s	obvious where that choice is awesome is
4050s	going to be coming from
4052s	EQ made swap the Hanzo then over to
4054s	Reaper looking for that trace on the
4055s	left side Diego setting up that four
4057s	spawn notices the teleport waiting for
4059s	that fade to come through from them
4061s	wherever takes nicer because we'll have
4062s	to back off meanwhile the annihilation
4064s	on the low ground Eternal able to find
4065s	Rodriguez took Columbia coming back into
4067s	this but poke able to find one
4068s	basketball goes aggressive as well as
4069s	the annihilates him to get rid of eqo
4071s	hug Falls soda super Gomez and in
4074s	overtime the last second pushes it's
4076s	working for Peru the beats off and
4077s	eternal are still here though they have
4079s	to sustain to wait for the spawn but it
4081s	is overtime so the spawns are a bit
4083s	longer Eternal fall so does nixby
4085s	eventually hog does rotate back
4087s	Baskerville goes incredibly low but eqo
4089s	on the Tracer is here to delay hug Falls
4092s	it's just EQ on this payload with super
4095s	Gomez eventually we'll fall then they
4097s	running back but in overtime Peru have
4099s	captured out against Colombia Costco
4101s	does serious work on that romantra being
4105s	able to survive coming in with those
4106s	pummels the zones as well when your
4109s	eyesight of that Nemesis formed to be
4110s	able to shut down the space that
4112s	Colombia are trying to take making it so
4114s	easy to be able to tag down those
4116s	members who are looking to stall on the
4118s	payload for as long as possible so with
4120s	the slightest bit of Target Focus you
4122s	very quickly dispatch the reinforcements
4124s	that are trickling one by one onto the
4126s	cart not allowing them to find anything
4128s	presents to build into ultimates
4131s	um now you know for the side of Colombia
4134s	it would be so it'd be interesting to
4136s	see if a draw happens but there's a
4138s	still a large time bank
4140s	in Colombia's back pocket the cap shroud
4142s	done for his point boxing yeah my
4151s	and that if that happens yet again this
4155s	team is going to absolutely speed speed
4158s	unstable in the blink of an eye some
4161s	really good swaps coming through however
4162s	anticipating that okay Eco is using a
4164s	lot of that very aggressive Handler
4166s	Mobility to get himself into position to
4168s	look for those one view ones swaps to
4170s	the cast uses the node tags him onto it
4172s	so he doesn't get to launch back to his
4174s	team and finally we see the punishment
4176s	come through but I mean that time bank
4179s	it's going to be such a high mountain to
4180s	climb yeah
4182s	it is going to be three minutes and 13
4184s	seconds now Columbia walking out also
4186s	have to deal with EQ on sanzo's one
4188s	shots persona's gonna be on the ash
4190s	though to maybe try to counter but
4192s	Colombia is trying to do a special since
4194s	they don't have a suit to cleanse any of
4195s	that damage from the dynamite for
4196s	basketball pick down incredible low
4197s	again we saw this previously committing
4200s	the immortality field on the inside well
4202s	actually went a little bit too far past
4203s	the Persona counters out EQ on that High
4205s	Ground spot nice work Corpus wanted to
4207s	find that kill to prevent a disaster
4209s	class that has happened before for Peru
4212s	on this first uh statue area in King's
4214s	Row Columbia has to regroup wait for the
4216s	remember to come back to the spot for
4217s	the turtle finds that kill onto poke
4219s	Persona looking for that turn over the
4220s	top it has to reload not able to get
4222s	that shot onto Lucio who's been in new
4224s	since they have an eternal yet again
4226s	finds Baskerville what shots out of the
4228s	main player of Colombia rotated all the
4230s	way here nobody else can really touch
4232s	but the Lucio player of Rodrigo and
4234s	everybody else is in here Colombia will
4236s	take the 2-0 victory over Brew in her
4239s	very first game in the America region oh
4242s	is to say that is game when they lose
4245s	that Baptiste ploke goes down even if
4247s	you're able to trade for a pick the
4249s	attacking spawn is just so much closer
4251s	they're going to regroup you can't even
4254s	afford to give them a single tick to be
4256s	able to fully regroup around the back of
4258s	that choke and then push back in when
4260s	all of your players are regrouping at
4262s	your four fours you were just forced to
4264s	throw yourself into that fight trying to
4266s	look for any turnarounds any ultimate
4269s	then you're going to be able to panic
4270s	bold into to be able to turn the tables
4272s	but we've had a Baptist the raw match
4274s	reports very shortly afterwards and that
4276s	is match a two and O Victory routine
4279s	that looks incredibly strong and
4281s	Incredibly confident
4283s	sure I think we're worried however long
4285s	term obviously against them against
4287s	other teams though that 2-0 is very very
4289s	good going for them forward obviously
4290s	maybe later on in the series against
4292s	other teams that are in their group this
4294s	will actually work obviously for them
4296s	the bright spots were eqo but also you
4298s	know the the other guys so fantastic
4300s	work it has a job from the overall team
4303s	I mean what's a just a great series what
4306s	do you think how is that serious from
4307s	your perspective who I mean it was a
4310s	pretty different story from Nepal that
4313s	we saw right that was a really Scrappy
4315s	map for the first one then going into
4317s	Kings Row that was all Colombia for the
4321s	most part I don't think it's really
4322s	deniable at least for at the release the
4325s	first half of that match up it was this
4327s	pretty big steamroll from Colombia but
4329s	Peru I feel like what we've seen between
4331s	Nepal and Kings Row the pattern factor
4335s	is the fact that Peru seemed to do
4337s	really well under pressure and have been
4340s	very fortunate being able to just like
4341s	close out those OT opportunities taking
4344s	it that distance unfortunately just not
4346s	able to take it to that third map proxy
4348s	moxie yeah so the big difference
4350s	especially when you look at those
4351s	overtime fights is that Colombia didn't
4354s	actually get the opportunity to set up
4356s	on High Ground so as a result they
4358s	didn't get those first blows that
4360s	threatening Zone to come through from
4362s	eqo and in overtime everyone is throwing
4364s	themselves onto that pillow to try and
4366s	install it for as long as possible we
4367s	even see some teams actually try to take
4369s	advantage of that when they're defending
4370s	on King throwing traditionally go for
4371s	something like a Widowmaker or a Bastion
4373s	and play towards the sidelines which I'm
4375s	honestly surprised that we didn't see
4377s	Columbia opt into I think they were so
4379s	panicked but where that person was
4382s	coming from that they had to swap to
4383s	that Hansel and then go Reaper for just
4385s	sustaining on that card as long as
4387s	possible I mean that they prioritize
4389s	sustain rather than pick potential yeah
4391s	it's definitely the eqo show at a big
4394s	portion of that when they he did have
4395s	that opportunity to set up for that High
4396s	Ground Lake you were talking about very
4398s	very annoying for that back line right
4400s	just poking out those support players on
4402s	the side of Peru as you see these
4405s	replays coming through here and Dustin
4408s	when it comes down to the way that Peru
4410s	kind of answered that we did see Diego
4413s	attempting to be really annoying on the
4415s	flank founding some some success but it
4418s	just wasn't enough yeah I think at times
4420s	Dugo was doing well on the May but uh
4422s	you know did honestly kind of I'm not
4424s	gonna say out I mean it was kind of out
4426s	Quest by Eternal at points realistically
4428s	the May on the other side of Columbia's
4430s	was a big difference maker meanwhile on
4432s	the opposite side for Peru they really
4435s	couldn't get much besides like maybe out
4437s	of persona sometimes out of Baskerville
4439s	it really did feel like a bit of a
4442s	mismatch in terms of the I don't know
4444s	necessarily like the heroes themselves
4446s	but also in terms of the players uh it
4449s	did feel like Columbia was just in the
4450s	driver's seat overall with mixvy even at
4453s	times now Lucio doing really well they
4455s	really couldn't find an answer for the
4456s	overall team cohesion that was Colombia
4460s	think the problem that Diego was running
4462s	into was because so often he had to
4464s	actually use things like that may all to
4466s	either counter eternals and try and save
4469s	basketball from a mill that came through
4471s	from Colombia or tried to shut down
4473s	super Gomez and that was something that
4475s	Colombia very quickly uh clocked onto
4477s	and as a result they just had EQ player
4480s	designs but even if you get pulled off
4481s	he can literally just scale it as Hanzo
4484s	and still find those opening shots
4486s	yeah a big big part of that Hanzo pick
4488s	right and just playing these Corners
4490s	here on King's Row it's your typical
4492s	it's typically just how you end up
4493s	playing it and I feel like especially
4495s	that tank being super Gomez for the side
4497s	of Columbia he did really really well
4500s	with the just general zoning being able
4502s	to slow down the pushes that through
4504s	world looking for overall but really
4507s	huge Kudos over here towards clubview
4509s	looking pretty strong here for our first
4510s	match of the day Dustin well for sure
4512s	yeah Colombia starting out strong I'm
4514s	really curious to see how they do later
4516s	on maybe if they get that qualification
4518s	versus some of the better teams in the
4520s	World Cup because you know and you know
4522s	each region has their strengths with
4524s	certain talents and obviously less or
4526s	some teams like uh Korea USA have less
4528s	holes than others but realistically if
4531s	you can be one of those teams that is
4532s	really good at just kind of like uh the
4535s	part of my French just like one tricking
4536s	I don't know if that's like as kind of
4538s	offensive to some people who say one
4539s	tricky but to play a lot of those Fair
4540s	accomplishes to play a lot of those
4541s	Heroes that maybe are leaning more
4543s	towards maybe your individual players on
4546s	your team and you can kind of pop off
4548s	from that degree that also could give
4550s	you an opening overall in World Cup and
4552s	maybe give you a a run that obviously
4555s	your nation wants
4557s	it's a big it's a it's a lot of weight
4559s	on your shoulders right representing
4560s	your nation here for an International
4562s	Event especially when it's the first one
4566s	back in a few years and you're really
4568s	looking to make a stand and just show
4570s	your confidence and also just start out
4572s	on on the front foot here for this event
4575s	considering that it's two weeks long
4577s	sure three days per week just throughout
4580s	the weekend but it's quite the marathon
4582s	to be running as well and just adapting
4584s	along the way there Mossy yeah and I
4587s	think again that's why we're going to
4589s	see a lot of these players who have had
4591s	that experience either and contenders or
4592s	OverWatch League have a little bit of an
4594s	edge not just in terms of being able to
4596s	play mechanically but also having that
4598s	mentality factor that you know that
4600s	you've gone through some of those long
4602s	days you've gone through some of those
4603s	hard matches as well where if you do
4605s	start doing a little bit worse than the
4607s	other side you're still able to hit that
4609s	reset button you're able to moralize the
4612s	entirety of your team and turn things
4614s	around something that we saw from both
4616s	sides of those teams in control but it
4618s	definitely felt like Colombia had a lot
4619s	more confidence and Peru we're playing a
4622s	little bit more hesitantly once that
4624s	Ryan initial push onto point a didn't
4626s	quite work out
4628s	well if you're a proof and hopefully
4630s	we're rooting for them to just be able
4632s	to warm up a little bit more you know
4634s	it's just the first match of the day
4635s	they have some opportunity to still keep
4638s	that steam going and build that momentum
4640s	up overall but again it's just that best
4643s	of three right so not too long of a
4646s	series to open things up here within the
4648s	round robin stages but I mean I just
4654s	we've had those questions about eqo
4656s	being maybe a little bit Rusty after
4658s	that break from competition and he has
4661s	just come back full force Dustin oh yeah
4664s	he looks good I think I think eqo
4666s	obviously not really a lot of rust
4668s	obviously on his side maybe at times
4670s	there were like he kind of Inked a
4672s	little bit behind Pub going for that
4674s	double jump towards a tracer but besides
4676s	that obviously you want to feel
4677s	confident to hit those shots and you
4679s	know and I'm sure he felt confident in
4682s	hitting that shot of the Tracer but
4683s	unfortunately did not come away with it
4685s	either as we take a look at an
4687s	interesting snack card from Super Gomez
4689s	on that uh honor that or matcha also you
4692s	called that out earlier Ashley I mean he
4693s	was great on that tank roll really was a
4696s	big reason Colombia uh wasn't just the
4698s	eqo show I mean it was just a lot of
4701s	zoning coming out from his utility right
4703s	overall but boxy I gotta get your
4705s	thoughts I know you had some shouts
4708s	especially for Persona as being a
4710s	potential MVP that we were looking for
4712s	into this series but super Gomez how are
4715s	you feeling about his gameplay overall
4716s	honestly really happy with him every
4718s	single time we spoke to his perspective
4720s	we were saying things like that so I'm
4721s	being used incredibly proactively he
4724s	would have been following it out in
4725s	front of disengaging players especially
4727s	on Lucio's too to make sure that they're
4729s	immediately Just Wings clipped right on
4731s	the ground incredibly easy to be able to
4733s	Target and dig down and when you're
4734s	waiting on a Lucy to respawn you have to
4736s	wait the full 30 seconds you you can't
4738s	push in without a loser when you're
4740s	running these tank heavy compositions
4742s	hey it's called the ram rush for a
4744s	reason right you gotta get that Lucio
4746s	speed boost to actually get you into the
4749s	action but overall I mean really
4752s	exciting stuff for our first matchup of
4754s	the day of course we do have lots more
4757s	OverWatch to come for you guys so in
4759s	case you did miss out on the schedule
4761s	earlier as a reminder the next match
4763s	that we will be seeing is going to be
4764s	Brazil versus Chile and I'm not going to
4768s	ask you guys too much about it my lovely
4770s	pastors on the desk because we will have
4772s	the opportunity to chat about them a bit
4774s	more but before we do go on a short
4777s	break I do want to remind everyone in
4779s	the chat right now on Twitch that we do
4783s	have the fact that the prize pool for
4785s	the OverWatch World Cup is being
4787s	crowdfunded for the very first time so
4789s	you guys should definitely check out
4790s	those skins I will bring back some more
4792s	details right after this short break

5177s	welcome back everybody do OverWatch
5179s	World Cup 2023 again I am your host Ash
5182s	alongside Moxie and Dustin my lovely
5185s	casters on the desk with me and we are
5187s	back for the second matchup of the day
5190s	we just saw Columbia ticket 2-0 up
5192s	against Peru but now we've got to get
5194s	into Brazil and Chile Dustin I'm stoked
5198s	for this one this Brazilian team looking
5200s	pretty stacked yeah I think that Brazil
5203s	in its entirety has you know had some
5205s	time to obviously work things out as a
5207s	unit like you said it's a very stacked
5208s	lineup but I'm really genuinely
5210s	interested in seeing how Brazil performs
5212s	and how they can actually potentially
5213s	come out of group b with those two slots
5216s	I mean it's going to be difficult for
5217s	them as a unit but obviously Brazil
5220s	known for being very good in Esports in
5222s	general and have had talented OverWatch
5224s	players over the history of the game but
5227s	it's been tough for them to really have
5228s	a good showing when things have been so
5230s	you know up in the air with Brazil and
5233s	these the whole South American region
5236s	I mean it's gonna be really interesting
5238s	as you said Moxie I know you were
5240s	talking a little bit about how the South
5242s	American region has just been panning
5243s	out for OverWatch in general
5245s	yeah I mean a lot of these players from
5247s	Brazil coming through from the
5249s	contenders as they've seen a lot of
5251s	players previously from and they say War
5253s	Pigs and dignity three very big teams in
5257s	the region who used to run incredibly
5259s	strongly very hotly contested for all
5261s	three of those really excited to get to
5264s	see how those players are going to be
5266s	getting on that they've had a little bit
5267s	of time to be able to improve practice
5270s	and synergize with each other but I'm
5272s	honestly looking forward to seeing chili
5273s	in action because I was talking to a
5275s	couple of players from different teams
5276s	saying like is there anyone that you
5277s	want to watch out for and one player
5279s	that actually popped up on terms of
5281s	names was actually one of Chile's team
5284s	players it was Ram so I'm really excited
5287s	to get to see why exactly he's one of
5289s	these up and coming Stars
5291s	well we don't have to wait too much
5293s	longer but the the game will be underway
5296s	in just a little bit but this is just
5298s	going to be our introduction over
5299s	towards the chili team as well I Dustin
5302s	I gotta and get your thoughts on this
5304s	squad too
5305s	I mean overall thoughts uh is is pretty
5308s	much what can they show in the lobby you
5310s	know I'm really curious to see what uh
5311s	with Frank what Ram what about can
5313s	really do a lot of these DPS players
5315s	have been you know kind of those
5317s	standout players in World Cup and it's
5319s	in the history of world cup it always
5320s	seems like you know from Argentina we've
5322s	had some amazing talent show up you know
5324s	you know on the Tracer role and right
5326s	now it seems like there are a lot of the
5328s	Hanzo players are the ones taking over
5330s	so if we see potentially teams locked
5332s	those who are sniper characters really
5335s	that could be on about to kind of be
5336s	that standout player for chile that they
5339s	kind of need to progress further in the
5341s	tournament because I mean like I said
5343s	there's only two slots for them
5344s	um but overall you know realistically we
5346s	just need to see what they have for us
5347s	today
5348s	um and kind of go from there
5350s	and then now shifting over towards the
5352s	Brazil squad the stack team that we were
5354s	talking about earlier especially that
5356s	being dalka Naya and Ludwig who have
5359s	previously played together in contenders
5361s	as well I think just speaks as to the
5363s	Synergy they're going to be able to
5364s	bring into the table here
5366s	yeah Delica is one of those other
5368s	players as well that kept coming up in
5370s	terms of my conversations with them very
5372s	very very good tanks so I cannot wait to
5375s	see how he's going to be getting on when
5377s	paired up against potentially a doomfist
5379s	coming through from Chile whether or not
5381s	we do get to see that much of Gojo so
5384s	that might actually influence the DPS
5385s	match up as well because I mean also in
5388s	a 1v1 and then suddenly there's a
5389s	doomfist dropping in and it becomes the
5391s	one versus two all art scrap but just
5393s	trying to feel as quickly as possible
5395s	but like you said a lot of synergy
5397s	coming for from these teams these
5399s	players have known each other a very
5401s	long time some of these players
5403s	literally started playing OverWatch
5405s	alongside their teammates and to get to
5408s	actually be here performing in the
5410s	OverWatch World Cup America conferences
5412s	alongside each other has got to be one
5415s	heck of a milestone to her
5417s	definitely is and ilios is actually
5419s	going to be the first map that we are
5420s	seeing here going into this best of
5422s	three of course we'll only find out the
5425s	next ones afterwards once we find out
5426s	who the losers will be picking those out
5429s	but Dustin how are you feeling about the
5431s	first map I think Elias is a great map
5433s	to start off obviously with the likes of
5435s	ruins being in there it's really it
5437s	enables teams to play maybe even towards
5440s	that Widow but after you know a lot of
5441s	those changes I mean Moxie it seems like
5443s	a lot of these teams maybe I mean they
5445s	potentially will shy away from the Widow
5447s	but at times in the last matchup we even
5449s	saw eqo making that swap over to the
5451s	Widowmaker which is I mean obviously
5453s	it's a prevalent map uh ilios is for
5456s	seeing a lot of those sniper comps yeah
5458s	I think the biggest changes being that
5460s	you can't really play fully from the
5461s	back of this map it seems like a lot of
5463s	players are still very much intent on
5465s	running that would make it on runes like
5467s	you said just because of how open a lot
5469s	of that space is if you have that High
5471s	Ground Control there are so many of it
5472s	dotted all around the map one towards
5475s	cider point one directly behind it that
5476s	it's still becomes incredibly easy if
5478s	you are in control of the fight when it
5481s	starts to be able to use that Widow and
5483s	find a pick forcing the other team even
5485s	if they don't lose a player onto giving
5487s	up significant amounts of percentage and
5489s	just rotating around the Widow alone
5492s	gonna be really interesting to see how
5494s	these teams do Fair especially if that
5495s	doomfist does come into play like we
5498s	were talking about just a little bit
5499s	earlier and how that can influence the
5501s	DPS is that we're going to be seeing
5502s	coming through as well but again it's
5504s	going to be a lot of quick thinking on
5506s	your feet as per usual within OverWatch
5508s	at the very least but a lot on the line
5511s	as well because you want to try and rack
5513s	up these points as early as possible I
5515s	know that is a two week long event if
5517s	you have more opportunities within the
5518s	round robin as every single team does
5520s	face off against each other but the
5523s	earlier you're able to get those under
5524s	your pocket especially here into Group B
5526s	where there's only two spots to even
5529s	fight for compares to the group a that
5532s	have three there's just so much more
5535s	additional pressure I think on the backs
5537s	of all of these teams of course but
5540s	that being said as well as a reminder
5542s	for you guys that the World Cup is
5546s	actually going to be crowd funded for
5547s	the very first time again with those
5549s	Home and Away skin bundles and you guys
5552s	can check those out for every single
5554s	individual conference that being emec
5557s	APAC and Americas to be able to support
5560s	those teams and contribute over towards
5562s	the prize school but still we have a
5565s	best of three to get into right now
5567s	we've talked a lot about these teams
5569s	already in general we know the first map
5571s	that we are going to be starting off on
5573s	as well but I gotta get your predictions
5576s	to Dustin who do you have your money on
5578s	for map number one okay we're doing
5580s	predictions Ash are we doing predictions
5582s	oh geez man I listen I I like to stay
5585s	impartial obviously so I'm just gonna
5588s	say an unrealistic score actually Ash
5590s	I'm gonna throw I'm gonna it's gonna be
5592s	9-0 for Brazil no I'm just kidding I
5594s	think that overall I've got to say 2o
5596s	Brazil I think this team looks really
5597s	good on paper obvious obviously and I
5600s	think that as a region I think they've
5602s	done more than Chile at the moment it
5605s	seems like the right pick but obviously
5607s	I think it could go either way I don't
5609s	know moxie what do you think on this
5611s	matchup I mean I am with you I think
5613s	Brazil is going to take this there is
5615s	one potential wrinkle however when it
5618s	comes to this Team Matchup Brazil likes
5620s	to to go both the Zen and the kiriko for
5623s	that support lineup if Chile does indeed
5625s	field this Doom first that's going to be
5629s	a lot of backline vulnerability so
5631s	they're going to have to be able to
5633s	absolutely nail every single one of
5635s	these shots if they don't want to be
5636s	losing one of the supports early
5640s	all good points to keep in mind here are
5642s	going into this best of three between
5644s	Chile and Brazil but I mean we do have
5647s	to wait just a little bit longer before
5649s	the game gets actually underway what are
5652s	the odds though mostly do you think that
5654s	the doomfist does actually come out
5657s	well given the fact that they have two
5659s	tank players one of whom comes in to
5660s	play the Reinhardt and the other plays
5662s	the team first I always say Knight to
5663s	seven percent more likely that we're
5666s	probably going to be seeing a dinner
5667s	first also for all of the reasons that
5669s	we've talked about Widowmaker being very
5670s	popular in this map Doom first days as
5672s	well lots of very small spaces lots of
5674s	playground focuses a whole heck of
5677s	rollouts and doomfist Tech that you can
5679s	do some of the parkour that these
5681s	players are able to pull off on this map
5683s	alone doesn't just boggles the mind for
5686s	sure as we go into ilios and say goodbye
5688s	to Ash who floats off into host or
5691s	Heaven as we wait for her for the next
5692s	map in the next uh in this series and
5695s	ilios obviously is a map that uh really
5698s	I think has a lot of diversity in terms
5700s	of the map Pool as we see and as you
5703s	know ruins obviously Widowmaker
5704s	potentially could be in there but also
5706s	you know at times teams just like to run
5707s	you know brawl even just make you know
5710s	those quick rotations to the point and
5711s	try to you know secure a lot of those
5714s	close angles and avoid any poke damage
5716s	happening from traces and just run on
5718s	targets that maybe have used the
5719s	cooldown or are relatively easy right to
5722s	die to run on I mean sometimes we even
5724s	see Echo coming for I know a lot of
5727s	regions in in emec uh running a lot of
5730s	echo at the moment with just the sky
5731s	boxes on this map alone however it looks
5734s	like we're just going to be seeing dive
5735s	for dive Brazil going for that Winston
5737s	Anna going to be Bodyguard by Brigida
5740s	Chile doing the exact same thing with a
5741s	diva in the mix and stuff
5743s	yeah we saw some Diva earlier didn't
5745s	really work out to a great effect so the
5747s	swap came through to uh for Matra Frank
5750s	taking a ton of focus a little early on
5752s	but that gets those heels from Laszlo on
5754s	The High Ground as chelita's regroups
5756s	around it Brazil have the entirety of
5758s	the point under the control chili has to
5761s	be rotating over this point incredibly
5763s	quickly bonuses on them can make that
5765s	rotation Point almost goes into favor of
5767s	Brazil but incoming Ram with a touch
5768s	nice easy Grenade on the Frack as well
5770s	the Deep him low in this fight
5771s	eventually will lose Meck as well the
5773s	heels on enough to keep them alive
5775s	Brazil is well on that outside we're
5777s	able to capture the boy a dynamite on
5779s	the back can't get clanged but Ludwig
5781s	able to avoid that damage eventually
5783s	will find that baby Diva and who knew
5785s	one of it was so good at OverWatch just
5787s	kidding it's a different guy Neil also
5789s	chases down Papo on the low ground but
5791s	out also goes as well in Brazil clean
5793s	first fight for them so I'm a huge fan
5795s	of Ash but only when you're in control
5797s	of that fight and you can use the
5799s	dynamite to kite these players towards
5801s	either the Tracer or the diva especially
5804s	when you're running a diva into the
5805s	Sombra look at the charge on EMP you're
5807s	just an absolute battery first then go
5810s	on the somber who's going to have EMP in
5811s	the next fight the sticks it's just
5814s	extra style points and Shelly are going
5817s	to be waiting another couple of moments
5820s	for the full regroup to come through and
5822s	by then that EMP is going to be packaged
5824s	it's going to be parceled and it's going
5825s	to be wrapped and left right on their
5827s	doorstep oh yeah I I freaking love this
5829s	this is a great sign for Brazil and
5831s	their fans to see both crazy players
5833s	starting off strongly 52 now on the
5836s	board Chile has to get an answer they
5838s	have that pulse bomber to go building up
5839s	towards that Bob as well the valve finds
5842s	those shots on the new who jumps down to
5844s	the open Ram picks so much damage
5845s	dropping down also gets hit by the EMP
5847s	but a nice name from Lance would keep
5849s	him healthy also the Nana was to keep
5851s	track in this fight great support
5853s	gameplay from chileana Full Spawn from
5854s	RAM on the back line what a connection
5857s	from him also finds that that Anna but
5859s	the health pack is hacked so I
5861s	play around the health relatively well
5862s	goes to that sleeve dark does not it
5863s	dealing with the back line now is Ram
5865s	taking a lot of that pressure off that
5867s	front so the bow is able to find Neil
5869s	and then on the Ludwig as well the ring
5871s	attached for chile is successful as they
5873s	claim the point yeah gorgeous coating
5875s	coming through from ROM go straight for
5877s	that backline like you said after the
5879s	Anna pulls the sombra's attention as
5881s	well spenko has to actually go for the
5883s	peel to try and save his back line then
5885s	as a result the direction safely on
5887s	Kentucky gets to finally set himself up
5888s	in The High Ground and put these
5890s	dynamites to work as Brazil's comfort
5892s	walk into the point Bob is out on the
5895s	point as well to contest it make sure
5897s	this Winston has trouble Neil Ops to
5899s	back out Ludwig takes a bit of damage
5900s	but nobody dead just did great disengage
5902s	from Brazil on the inside although fenko
5905s	has to translocate back towards that
5907s	Mega health pack to know where he is
5908s	coach gonna actually to boost nail away
5910s	from the point as they know nobody else
5912s	can contest Chili's going for an outside
5913s	dive but they give up that point Ludwig
5916s	has the full spot makes the rotation now
5917s	happens for chile a hack comes through
5918s	into fraction but he's still able to get
5920s	off that Diva bomb the rally on the
5922s	points potentially killed this Divas
5924s	remix but the pulse bomb as well to make
5925s	sure he goes back into Team Four put a
5927s	rotation on a quick High Ground will
5929s	keep him his life as RAM finds the Anna
5931s	it's too late though because Brazil with
5933s	that Primal Rage of deal and Ludwig
5935s	combining on a Papo give them those two
5937s	kills 85 percent of the board and he
5939s	will jump back two of his supports as
5941s	well as the Stagger kill comes through
5942s	now 90 of the board it's gonna be a
5944s	rough week intense we'll kill it yeah
5946s	especially because now we're gonna have
5947s	another EMP coming onto the Border first
5949s	vinegar lastly by the way is on to the
5951s	Kirk are there
5952s	perk that we anticipated to come through
5953s	is they're onto these fast moving here
5955s	so just try and keep this overtime in
5957s	play for as long as possible but no one
5958s	can really possession around the EMP
5959s	when it comes out and that's gonna be
5961s	Brazil just cleaning up the aisles and
5963s	taking the first point Ludwig's looking
5965s	so good on the Tracer Moxie and you know
5968s	overall Brazil what is what a series to
5971s	start off with today getting that 151
5973s	obviously this is round number one the
5976s	standout DPS play from Brazil yeah
5979s	honestly so you stand out play from all
5981s	of them the fact that we only really saw
5982s	Axel being caught out of position once
5984s	or twice and a lot of the time it wasn't
5986s	actually down to his fault it was just
5987s	really good kiting coming for from
5989s	Chiles we can have a look at some of
5991s	this Ludwig Tracer replays as well it
5994s	has Neil on the Winston just able to
5996s	push aggressively onto this fire climb
5998s	when they know they've zoned that on or
6000s	away
6000s	and I love this I I I love and hate this
6003s	why the heck did this guy have to choose
6005s	a name that is the same as a prominent
6007s	figure in Esports it's it's so
6009s	interesting that he decided to go with
6011s	it maybe in the Brazilian scene doesn't
6012s	know what wig as much obviously but I'm
6014s	pretty sure the most famous Ludwig is a
6015s	Beethoven but
6017s	hey his name's Ludwig oh
6020s	oh my God anyway change the topic here
6022s	chilly now on to that Diva with the
6024s	Pharaoh as well do have that pocket we
6025s	talked about sort of these interesting
6027s	kind of not cheese comps but pharah
6029s	compositions coming through for other
6030s	teams Chile kind of taking the playbook
6032s	out of uh or a page out of Saudi
6035s	Arabia's Playbook yeah Brazil
6040s	from that first
6044s	highly uncontested as long as you play
6046s	around these buildings some blocked line
6048s	of sight for spankers hacks they're
6050s	untouchable
6051s	yeah they roll through Ram over to the
6053s	top most of that damage from what we get
6055s	picked off early from crack who chases
6058s	him down on the diva but senko does
6059s	trade back Latin so a lot of those
6060s	healing heels are gone but the resurrect
6063s	now from Papo is here to bring him back
6065s	in this fight bringing a lot of value in
6067s	that Mercy pocket as well as RAM just
6068s	kind of free to do whatever they don't
6070s	touch the point though so Brazil is the
6071s	first ones the Cavs shirt Brazil keep
6073s	rotating around to find lasmud the
6075s	damage not able to be found by Ram at
6076s	the moment that's the problem with
6077s	running the sparrow however now he's
6079s	come back down to Expo trying to
6081s	relocate back around with the fade he's
6083s	able to find that damage Chile has this
6085s	has disengaged being the uh Push by
6088s	Brazil there but now Ram comes through
6091s	on the Neil and Ludwig as well they
6093s	slowly work their way back into this
6094s	point and we'll capture it again chili
6097s	just have to be careful by running this
6099s	Pharmacy you're essentially taking every
6101s	single fight three versus five if Brazil
6103s	are able to collapse onto that back line
6105s	and that's what Brazil is trying to do
6107s	they're just ignoring the pharah and
6108s	going straight for what should be the
6110s	defensive and
6112s	actually bodyguard and bite as far as
6115s	hanging above that on his head making
6117s	sure that no one can actually dive on
6118s	with our composite hey Brazil do claim
6121s	that point back they get to walk through
6123s	that cage side now
6125s	Randall setting up with that barrage
6127s	Play No defensive Matrix to shut him
6128s	down besides maybe a hanko on the low
6131s	ground ball Houston to get back to his
6133s	team and go for the barrage onto the
6134s	Winston doesn't have time away gets him
6136s	incredibly low but he's able to survive
6138s	however Ram comes back in denial on the
6141s	back side Pappa also gets the res onto
6142s	last Zoo but it pulls bomb connects out
6144s	of the diva and it took it touches Ram's
6145s	toes
6149s	and takes down Ludwig on the back side
6151s	but it doesn't matter because that's
6152s	Phil and the rest of Brazil's Laugh song
6154s	and about Frack as well as lazu and
6157s	still have control of that point and
6159s	that's the problem for chile even though
6161s	they are trying to find these kills
6162s	using these ultimates Brazil just
6164s	continues to be able to play The
6166s	Objective and as much damage as you do
6168s	OverWatch is always going to favor the
6170s	team in control of the point Brazil has
6172s	74 we're heading into finals by
6174s	territory and Chile don't have the
6176s	damage birth to be able to follow up on
6178s	the EMP
6179s	percent on the board too I mean that's
6181s	terrifying to go against Nicole lessons
6183s	has won the back line there's that EMP
6185s	from it about though like you mentioned
6186s	on the front line to keep them sustained
6188s	as that backwards evil bomb can track
6189s	here do they sustain against it
6191s	able to avoid that damage from the
6193s	d-bomb as well ultimates already used no
6195s	pills for chile so Brazil now comes back
6197s	in with that Primal Rage 96 on the board
6200s	Frank has to rotate towards it use
6201s	brussers to avoid being thrown into the
6204s	middle of the pit is you know trying to
6207s	find some kills here eventually they'll
6209s	find lazy but exposed taken down in
6210s	terminal fract knows for the final blow
6212s	Matt ramp does trade him back but Ludwig
6214s	is here onto Frack as well at the rest
6216s	of Brazil to collapse onto Chile as they
6218s	rotate around the point even with that
6220s	Skybox to work with they still have to
6222s	contest the point Ram able to do so
6225s	we'll go back to the side last second
6226s	the soccer will touch for awesome Ram oh
6229s	my God
6232s	vertically from the point so he's not
6234s	able to touch it last second in Brazil
6237s	will win on ilios oh that's devastating
6239s	the second that you as a father hit that
6241s	queue you know
6244s	cancel Pharaoh Charlie so you can't move
6247s	you literally just stuck staring at the
6249s	point and going oh my spaghetti
6252s	it's on the ground but I am above it so
6254s	cannot pick it up that's that's really
6256s	unfortunate but I mean you could see
6259s	that the second that Brazil saw that
6261s	part of a composition come through they
6263s	just clocked onto the fact that that
6264s	Anna was left so vulnerable and just
6267s	continued to dive and dive and dive
6270s	finding that pit keeping the forest
6272s	attention away so that every single time
6274s	even when they weren't coming in terms
6276s	of the kills they still have a point
6278s	percentage they were still ticking that
6279s	up and there was nothing that chilly
6281s	could really do about it because if they
6282s	sent the pharmacy to keep control of
6284s	Point everyone else in backline dies
6286s	I think that was overall fantastic work
6289s	from Brazil and you know I like the idea
6291s	from Chile obviously like you said with
6293s	that fair accomplish to maybe mix things
6295s	up to avoid a lot of that pressure it
6297s	worked at points and you know maybe
6299s	against the better favorite team maybe a
6301s	team like Brazil wouldn't do as well
6303s	against you know that sort of
6305s	composition obviously we have seen Chile
6308s	at points to look solid but you know as
6310s	a team Brazil really did a great job
6312s	surrounding really suffocating all the
6314s	supports like you said Moxie it was a
6315s	really tough time for that back line of
6317s	Chile to really just have any sort of
6319s	survivability as a unit and uh you know
6322s	obviously we got to bring back Ash our
6323s	host who comes back down from the
6324s	Heavens to come into this discussion
6326s	what's going on Ashley what'd you think
6327s	of that first map
6329s	flown back down from Cloud9 right now
6331s	but uh overall I think you both made
6334s	some really good points the pharmacy
6336s	pick was interesting coming out from
6337s	Chile the vision you know with the
6340s	concussive blast and whatnot especially
6341s	with the welder on ilios definitely huge
6344s	but just a bit too disconnected I think
6346s	from the remainder of the team
6348s	composition just doesn't really allow
6350s	all those moving pieces to work
6352s	cohesively together Moxie yeah that was
6354s	a little bit of a 50 50. as well like
6356s	when you're running that Pharmacy it
6357s	works so well for teams like Saudi
6360s	Arabia at the moment Tripoli Sports
6362s	Twisted mines back in the contenders
6363s	emea region because they play
6366s	aggressively they put so many resources
6367s	onto players like laughter and yazan and
6369s	they just send them I fully
6372s	understanding that they're going to be
6373s	trading that Anna but because the
6375s	pharmacy stays alive they're still going
6377s	to win the fight and that was where the
6379s	disconnection came through from Chile's
6381s	game plan because they had the pharmacy
6382s	they just didn't have the aggression a
6384s	lot of the time we would cut back to the
6385s	forest POV and they would be literally
6387s	babysitting the Anna in the back Decline
6390s	and the kill would still come through on
6392s	the Anna the rest would still come out
6393s	and the fire would still be left
6394s	vulnerable so you didn't get reward from
6397s	Over the pharah finding kills or
6398s	controlling the space allowing point
6400s	percentage to be picked up for your team
6401s	I think Marx is 100 right I think it's
6404s	even add to it I I would go as far to
6407s	say is it's a lack of mechanical prowess
6408s	on the Pharaoh I mean it's it's hard to
6410s	play that hero to the level that like
6412s	you mentioned Saudi Arabia does they
6414s	have so many Fantastic players obviously
6416s	with yazan being one of them one of the
6418s	best Fair players in the world it's hard
6420s	to match that level there's so many
6422s	decisions that Pharaoh players have to
6423s	make and at times you can't make the
6426s	right one when it's you know like you
6427s	mentioned Moxie I mean the making the
6429s	aggressive play hitting direct their
6430s	shots I mean there's so many things that
6432s	you have to do right unfortunately for
6434s	it about or sorry for Ram it was hard to
6436s	get that value that we've seen out of
6439s	other teams
6440s	and then talking a bit about as well it
6443s	was just a bit of a struggle to like
6445s	Moxie was saying actually during the
6446s	cast is what I caught follow up on the
6448s	the EMP coming over and about on that
6450s	Sombra it felt like actually just
6451s	obviously didn't have that same kind of
6453s	damage burst available to actually close
6455s	out of quite a few of those picks and
6458s	again it just comes down to that lack of
6460s	cohesiveness meanwhile Brazil we knew
6463s	that that wasn't going to be a problem
6465s	for them considering their history
6466s	playing together their moxie yeah so
6469s	normally when you're running something
6470s	like the Sombra you want to have
6472s	something to immediately be able to
6473s	follow up that EMP because it lasts very
6475s	little time so you have to essentially
6477s	choose one Target and then everyone
6479s	jumps them we see a lot of times it's on
6481s	professional play EMP being invested
6483s	solely to take down One support player
6485s	like akiriko so they can't switch that
6487s	they immediately go down and because
6488s	those compositions traditionally don't
6490s	come alongside the mercy that kill it
6492s	sticks the problem however was that
6494s	you're not running anything that has the
6496s	first damage build for BMP but you're
6498s	also not running a Lucio to be able to
6500s	use that speed boost jump on the Target
6502s	in time and guarantee that the EMP
6504s	actually secures the kill that you're
6506s	trying to connect it into
6509s	and Dustin I've got to ask as well but
6511s	the difference between these tank picks
6513s	that we see coming out from Chile and
6515s	Brazil was all going for that Winston
6517s	Chile opting for the diva instead how
6520s	did that fare and play into I just I
6523s	guess generally just how they were able
6526s	to work around each other and the types
6528s	of pushes that both teams were going for
6530s	you know I I think it's it's fully
6532s	taught to say like which one which hero
6534s	is uh better I know that you didn't
6535s	really directly ask that question but
6536s	it's it's kind of tough at the moment
6538s	because you know after everything we've
6540s	seen from Diva it's always been from
6541s	like the weaker team on paper right it
6543s	feels like a lot of the diva players
6544s	tend to kind of maybe just pay for that
6546s	hero because of their you know hero pool
6548s	like you mentioned but with Winston in
6550s	particular the hero was just so damn
6551s	good at the moment with just engaging
6553s	the cooldowns are so low that it can
6555s	continue to just rotate also Primal Rage
6557s	one of the most underrated I mean people
6558s	like say it's not that underrated but I
6561s	think it's one of the strongest
6561s	ultimates in the game right gives you
6563s	you know that full health pool really
6565s	turns into a tanky Beast that also has a
6568s	crap ton of damage so realistically the
6570s	Winston Winston players real artist
6572s	playing a hero that is arguably at times
6574s	better but it's also tough to say just
6576s	because you know we don't really know
6578s	how good the diva is maybe in the right
6581s	hands it could be better I'm so happy
6583s	after you actually mentioned former rage
6584s	Dustin because yeah like you said it
6586s	does seem like it's a little bit of an
6587s	underrated ultimate but there's actually
6589s	a specific moment on Lighthouse where
6592s	Axel goes down the anus disconnects away
6594s	from the Winston that Neil actually gets
6596s	to stay alive and still win the team
6597s	fight afterwards because he has that
6599s	Primal right healing of the immediate
6601s	birth of how far and then even when you
6603s	lose it you're still going to be full
6605s	help when you revert back to that winter
6607s	monkey mode so they really were able to
6609s	like we said identify that okay they're
6612s	going to lose a player let's at least
6614s	trade it so it translates into a fight
6615s	one
6617s	all fair points especially with that
6619s	wins and shield being pretty strong up
6620s	against the pharah just being able to
6622s	provide that cover for the back line
6624s	when needed and then also for of course
6626s	the engagements there when he does go in
6628s	for that full dive but we are going to
6630s	just drum roll a little bit while we
6632s	wait for the next map pick to come
6634s	through overall but big MVP at least
6638s	coming out from that first game onto the
6640s	Winston player Neil that we just were
6642s	actually just talking about there Dustin
6643s	oh yeah Neil play great I think that
6646s	obviously one of the uh one of the best
6648s	Winston plays that we've seen so far out
6649s	of the two games you know very small
6650s	sample size so this is like say he's the
6653s	best he's the best ant out of two ants
6655s	on the floor I don't know it just seems
6657s	like at the point in the tournament you
6659s	know we still have yet to see some of
6660s	the best Winston's coming through
6662s	obviously with the like of likes of
6664s	Korea at times with uh super Matthew
6666s	delisi obviously sitting on at points on
6668s	America's bench one of the best Winston
6670s	players has a super diverse and flexible
6671s	hero pool but like you said Neil played
6674s	very very well really was that standout
6676s	player for them and also Ludwig the rest
6678s	of them I mean Moxie kind of touched on
6679s	it I just feel like this team overall is
6682s	playing very well and that's what you
6683s	want to see as a Brazilian fan is have a
6685s	team that can perform up to expectations
6688s	mechanically as a unit
6690s	oh absolutely but without further Ado we
6693s	are going to see the next pick coming in
6696s	here for this second map Moxie I've got
6698s	to get your thoughts okay well we're
6700s	getting to see it it is going to be a
6702s	new watchpoint Gibraltar coming for when
6704s	I mean I can see why Chile wants us to
6707s	take it uh to want to take us there if
6709s	they want her on the Widowmaker very
6711s	very strong first point for Widowmaker
6713s	to be able to find a lot of those
6714s	openings from The High Ground if they
6715s	want to run the far for the exact same
6717s	reasons really nice Big Sky boxes a lot
6719s	of high ground denial for the Defenders
6721s	as well just to be able to spam some of
6723s	those places make sure that you get a
6725s	lot of distance on that payload for free
6726s	I'm a little bit concerned however
6728s	because gibraltar's end game has always
6730s	been dive compositions and I would say
6732s	that from what we've seen so far
6733s	Brazil's dive game is stronger
6736s	that's fair and Dustin what do you think
6738s	the adjustments that we need to see
6739s	coming out from Chile going into this
6741s	next Mac considering just how ilios kind
6745s	of played out for them they've got to
6747s	make that quick adjustment to find that
6749s	cohesion do you have any idea maybe like
6752s	through crafting on what really mainly
6754s	needs to be tightened up there I think
6756s	it's tough Asher I think Moxie was kind
6759s	of hit the nail on the on the head here
6760s	with the fact that you know a lot of
6762s	dive compositions are pretty solid on
6764s	Gibraltar but you know previously in the
6767s	last matchup we saw with Colombia we did
6769s	see a lot of those One-Shot sniper
6771s	characters right those are kind of like
6772s	the Difference Maker Heroes that
6774s	potentially could swing the favor ins in
6776s	in Chile's side I think that I'm not
6779s	sure if they actually have that Talent
6780s	dabout obviously was shown on ash at
6783s	points really really strong but you know
6785s	maybe he can whip out the Hanzo maybe he
6787s	can hit those logs across the map and
6788s	get one shots that that team needs
6791s	because at this point you're kind of
6792s	relying on it right I think that uh
6794s	Brazil obviously as a unit looked very
6797s	very cohesive and strong so the only
6798s	counter to potential counter to that
6800s	would really just get to begin to
6802s	getting those one shots to just stop the
6804s	pushes of Brazil just through overall
6807s	you know damage output and getting those
6809s	one shots on the Hanzo absolutely and
6812s	really little room for error here with
6814s	it being a best of three
6819s	all and the fact that it's also again we
6822s	just can't stop talking about the stakes
6824s	with it being only two spots available
6825s	here in group b of Americas to actually
6829s	secure that opportunity to move over to
6831s	that round robin group stage but I'm not
6834s	gonna wait too much longer I'm gonna
6835s	send you guys over to that video fly
6838s	through once again here on watchpoint
6840s	Gibraltar Dustin Moxie take it away
6843s	thank you Ash and obviously leading into
6846s	gibraltarmacy I mean one of the biggest
6847s	takeaways that you hand on this map I
6849s	think we talked about earlier obviously
6850s	I didn't give any insight at all Ash
6851s	came in through and she's like hey what
6853s	do you think about Gibraltar what do you
6854s	think about these new changes I'm like I
6855s	don't know they don't matter what do you
6857s	think do they do they matter what has to
6858s	do with Gibraltar what's changed here
6860s	for the viewers then they need to
6861s	understand with this map uh maybe in
6864s	your games what have you experienced
6865s	with Gibraltar momentum shift I I think
6868s	is one of the big ones with the changes
6869s	coming through a lot of the time
6871s	Gibraltar just felt so snowbally right
6874s	you would lose point a you would get
6876s	staggered on point B as you respawn the
6878s	attacking team we just continue to push
6879s	and push push before you knew it you
6882s	would be staring down the barrel of
6883s	point a and point B combined into a time
6886s	bank with Point C and you would just be
6888s	scrapping for any grant that you could
6890s	try and save going into Point C and it
6892s	would literally be that last stretch
6894s	around that last Corner that the
6896s	Defenders would have to fall back onto
6898s	with one catwalk of Higher Ground a
6900s	little bit of Higher Ground behind the
6902s	point itself and the silence of your
6904s	tools which were still incredibly
6905s	exposed to any High Ground that the
6908s	attacking team were able to just
6909s	immediately take away from you since
6911s	you're having to play around that
6912s	initial corner but now with those
6914s	changes coming through the Defenders
6916s	have a little bit more cover to be able
6917s	to hide from places like those one shots
6919s	of something like a Widowmaker or a
6921s	Hanzo so it's definitely been a lot less
6924s	fast-paced I think for attacking teams
6926s	that having to slow things down just a
6928s	little bit for now
6930s	interesting let's see how Gibraltar
6932s	plays out but obviously we're still
6933s	waiting for that to come through so
6935s	we're gonna bring you back Ash I mean I
6937s	think that this map really Moxie kind of
6939s	touched on it it feels like things have
6940s	changed but uh it's still the same old
6942s	map obviously both these teams are I
6945s	mean I'm gonna be Brazil's looking
6947s	really good at the moment Ash I don't
6949s	mean I don't mean to burst this bubble
6951s	from Chile but uh seems like Brazil's on
6953s	top at the moment we'll see if they can
6955s	take it in that 2-0 sweep though like
6956s	you predicted Dustin earlier on and
6959s	again I'm gonna send you guys away for
6960s	real this time
6962s	um
6963s	I won't be coming back so you guys head
6965s	on into the server and I'll catch you
6966s	guys on the other side sounds good nice
6968s	we'll see you later and uh obviously
6970s	Gibraltar Moxie here we go I mean this
6971s	is like the 10th time we've talked about
6972s	it I think that uh this map kind of
6975s	upsets me okay or did upset me OverWatch
6978s	one they did change it you know with the
6979s	sunset and stuff you know how like on
6981s	point one you get blinded by the Sunday
6983s	yeah they fixed it they fixed the sunset
6986s	didn't they like with this map is it's
6988s	great you can actually see now it was
6989s	our adult environment moment where you
6992s	um walked off the stairs because you
6994s	were blind by that sunset
6996s	what are you talking about no I don't I
6998s	don't feed okay everybody else does the
7000s	feeding but you know what points it did
7001s	blind me and I got shot by a Widowmaker
7003s	out of the spawn doors but that was my
7004s	fault like I said it's the map's fault
7005s	it's not not mine all you're saying is
7008s	we need in-game sunglasses yeah yeah
7010s	exactly like why is the sun blinding a
7012s	robot I'm playing zenyana like a dude
7014s	does not even have eyes like why does he
7016s	why does their Reflections like we need
7018s	to have I don't know maybe how do you
7020s	think sunsets do you think is
7021s	echolocation
7028s	you're entering my territory with that
7030s	question that's that's definitely that's
7032s	a that's a
7033s	echolocations maybe new bat skin coming
7036s	soon
7037s	but okay we're having some Hanzo play on
7039s	both sides and Diva as well Moxie and uh
7042s	interesting to see Brazil run it as well
7043s	we'll have to see in that mirror matchup
7045s	how they do yeah is it going to be a one
7048s	shot coming for from this hands or are
7050s	they going to safely be able to keep
7052s	this payload moving around the corner
7054s	sprinkle is looking for it he knows that
7056s	chili isn't something she just sucks so
7057s	even trying to use papo's brake Shield
7059s	to buy themselves a little bit of
7061s	survivability so that the bike can try
7063s	to push onto this hand so who's also
7065s	getting the aid of focus broken armor
7067s	looking for that Sonic over the top
7070s	you said both brigittas enabling the
7072s	hanzo's so neither goes down playing it
7074s	well I like to see the Bounce by the way
7076s	playing that Hanzo to give them a
7078s	potential one shot but so far chilly are
7080s	the ones being pressured by an anti
7081s	grenade and they're actually aggressive
7083s	now Ludwig though on the low ground
7085s	meanwhile a 2v2 is happening on The High
7086s	Ground able to find Ram with help from
7089s	that brigitta and Diva yeah Power
7092s	doesn't even moved that far either
7093s	because dog has been just doing such a
7096s	good job of moving from the hybrid Logan
7098s	keeping it contested so it doesn't get
7099s	to move into car wash and as a result
7102s	RAM does not just get to use the tracing
7104s	ability and sit on the payload and force
7106s	Brazil to give up The High Ground
7107s	weather and so much control with this
7109s	Handler composition yeah I mean dark has
7112s	been playing so well just going back and
7113s	forth making sure he said that that Halo
7116s	doesn't push now minute 30 off the clock
7118s	already Dragon strike off The High
7119s	Ground to zone out
7121s	about has to back up no cart space
7123s	giving yet still either anti-grenated on
7125s	the carts the front can't push it
7127s	anymore as well as the tracers on the
7129s	cart dealing with some damage down Nana
7130s	boost also onto Frack to try to find
7133s	that kill spenko backs off from The High
7135s	Ground to avoid that engage from Frack a
7138s	bench the ninja boost can wear off but
7139s	svenko wants to keep holding his High
7141s	Ground keeps pressuring the Hanzo
7143s	neither able to find that opening pick
7145s	because of the defensive Matrix and also
7147s	that bravita Shields so both hanzo's do
7149s	you guys have avoiding shots but not
7151s	able find those kills comes around the
7153s	back with that fourth one ready to go
7154s	with the Nana boost as well goes for the
7155s	pulls tonight sleep Dart though on to
7157s	Ludwig do they have the follow-up damage
7159s	they do but it might be too late they've
7161s	already lost two members of the team
7162s	svenko also finds the battle but Ram has
7164s	traded Expo it's still a two versus two
7166s	Hanzo and Hanzo and Diva versus Diva and
7169s	Tracer has to jump off The High Ground
7170s	stack Frack will chase him down and baby
7172s	Diva for him to get that killed
7175s	eventually Danka will use that he bomb
7176s	to preserve his life to make sure he
7179s	could re-mech here Frank will come back
7180s	but the closest bonds are in favor of
7183s	Brazil Ram also not able to get the
7184s	health pack has to translocate away
7186s	Ludwig playing that perfectly in that
7189s	spot in that individual micro spot ends
7191s	the fight will kind of go back to a
7193s	neutral angle yeah and again we're going
7195s	to see Hansley versus Hansel quick
7196s	Shield to Hell fight but Divine tell us
7198s	outside Dragon strikes full stop as far
7199s	as away from the diva as you can send it
7202s	through without having to worry about it
7203s	getting Matrix there it is cut for him
7205s	to the back line but no kills picked up
7207s	trace him right into a three-person 198
7209s	however moving in with that Raleigh
7212s	Brazil going to mirror it and now it's
7213s	all about sustainability fantastic
7216s	disengage from Brazil trying to relocate
7217s	around that point drop their own dragon
7219s	strike off just don't let the payload no
7221s	dance however on both sides storm Arrow
7223s	comes about to try to find that repeat
7225s	that who has been living y'all
7226s	eventually will fall but Frank chased
7228s	him down also on to Ludwig they're on
7230s	this card is 1.6 meters left to go
7233s	building up towards another d-bump gets
7235s	the Nana boost as well to continue his
7237s	damage on that back line the Divas still
7239s	here DACA will lose me and eventually
7242s	chilly will capture on on first point
7243s	after a very very long push yeah it's
7247s	honestly really small from Chile however
7248s	not to go for a full disengagement even
7250s	though they lose players the second that
7252s	they disengage away from that fighting
7254s	Warehouse Brazil goes right back to that
7257s	High Ground stalemate that they had
7258s	chili locked into for so long in that
7260s	time and gets to Windows to absolutely
7262s	nothing
7267s	defense Matrix gobbles that one up in
7269s	Brazil not going to be able to find an
7271s	early pick to keep Chile from
7272s	snowballing and holding this High Ground
7275s	as they try to come through these jokes
7276s	and about now find smack I mean crack
7278s	winning outstanding even player he's
7280s	been to now enabled about maybe get back
7282s	in this series they chase down that back
7284s	line out of the fight also Ram gets ran
7285s	on by Ludwig too chilly not pushing that
7288s	car up two minutes left in the second
7290s	point so do you have that Nana boost if
7292s	they want to be able to send it onto
7293s	that even body all of this damage but
7295s	the second that they send dalka in fact
7298s	is going to come through with the body
7299s	block on that self-destruct but nope
7302s	you got stuff though on the back so
7305s	unfortunately it's back towards that
7306s	payload over dalka still not able to
7307s	find a lot of damage to Banana boots
7309s	just to maybe Zone off that back line to
7311s	give his team some space but let's go
7314s	out of BBD even form hits those shots on
7316s	the Frack amazing work from him and also
7318s	with an empty grenade onto Papo but
7320s	about those trade backs Benco but nice
7322s	work from next fault to give Brazil that
7324s	again but about now hit the shot him to
7326s	look when he wants to commit the dragon
7327s	strike the defensive Matrix is also not
7329s	there to Zone off the back line that
7331s	gives him that kill but Expo trades it
7332s	back and hit a player doing as much work
7334s	as X still has done so far it's almost
7337s	unheard of so far in the World Cup
7338s	Series 3K for the inner player of Brazil
7341s	to keep them holding this objective at
7344s	the last possible second ah she has a
7346s	successor
7348s	in terms of those kills means that chili
7351s	is full it's nice to take a much longer
7352s	rotation to be able to dodge out of
7354s	these one shots potentially coming
7355s	through from spenko and it means that
7357s	they are down to one minute in the time
7359s	find two old supposed to work with in
7361s	Brazil have The High Ground above them
7363s	the poor spawn defensive Matrix is here
7365s	and Brad eats that whole Spawn from
7367s	Ludwig great work from that team of
7369s	player on Chili's side Ram drops down
7371s	below waiting with that fourth bomb
7372s	looks for the Hanzo drops out of the
7373s	doorway but unfortunately nice work from
7375s	svengo to avoid all of the damage
7377s	meanwhile rally is happening for
7379s	Brazil's side while Nana boost allows
7380s	her to keep Frank healthy but he's still
7382s	going quite low spenko looking for those
7384s	one shots Tracer back here Ram down to
7386s	one HP needs to preserve his life so
7389s	he'll relocate back into that his team's
7391s	side to get some healing playing around
7393s	now that forklift side Frack will lose
7395s	the neck as the fight's gone for a bit
7397s	too long for the Chili's side 20 seconds
7399s	left now and they're getting clean duck
7401s	the by Brazil signar might even lose
7404s	level on that Anna there it is taken
7408s	dying that is a horrible Saga as they're
7411s	not gonna be able to have him back until
7413s	we head into all the time it's just
7414s	going to be papal and blue star trying
7416s	to get a touch onto the failure but even
7418s	if they're able to there's nowhere to
7419s	hide from the top strong purple run no
7422s	he eventually goes goes down down to
7424s	here as well on to Ram over time now it
7427s	takes away doomfist does get to punch
7429s	off to eventually punch but with the
7430s	Nana boost the brigitta and the diva
7432s	along here and nobody else alive that
7434s	ends Chile's push on the streets phase
7437s	so that means Brazil will be going over
7438s	to attack and only have to get it thus
7440s	far yeah Brazil looking immensely strong
7443s	just being able to control all of those
7445s	High Ground Avenues having that just
7447s	pressure overwhelmingly coming from from
7450s	svenka while also guaranteeing that the
7452s	payload does not get free push from
7454s	Chile which is the cheese way let's be
7457s	honest with making sure that you're able
7458s	to negate the one versus one Victory you
7461s	send someone to touch cart then pushes
7463s	all of the defense off of The High
7465s	Ground and that means that the Hansel
7466s	just does not have that opening control
7468s	of all of those fights it just didn't
7470s	happen they never got the opportunity to
7472s	be able to put Ram into that position
7473s	and all of that comes down to darker and
7476s	for sure dalka did a great job pushing
7478s	forward but you know to be honest on the
7479s	flip side just to give something to uh
7481s	to Chile it seems like Frack really has
7484s	been doing great as an aggressive Diva
7485s	player but you know what time I mean yes
7490s	coming through from that River and even
7493s	more on the flip side for this team all
7495s	of that High Ground opening initial
7497s	fight control that we saw in Brazil's
7499s	hands now flips over when the side flips
7501s	as well
7502s	yeah and now the defensive sign like you
7505s	said I mean it's it's it enables Frank
7507s	to maybe do a bit more but it's tough at
7508s	the moment when Brazil you know has the
7511s	mechanical prowess they do you know X
7513s	fell obviously on the end of playing
7514s	well spent to one of the Hanzo shown
7515s	that flexibility from that Sombra
7517s	Ludwig's still doing well in the Tracer
7519s	and uh you know Brazil is a unit really
7522s	has been shutting out Chile in their
7524s	pushes yeah lots of really good kill
7526s	coming for from we're going to see exact
7528s	same composition symmetra TP just being
7530s	able to negate some of that poke coming
7532s	out from the about this time on the
7535s	Hanzo is ramp still on that Tracer don't
7538s	try to bite into the smackline but
7539s	they're playing from the five and so
7540s	it's incredibly hard to actually be able
7542s	to find Target isolated a lot of body
7544s	shots leg shots on Tui chonzo not giving
7547s	up that headshot one shot coming through
7549s	the right side but unfortunately no kill
7551s	for svenkell meanwhile nade hits three
7553s	on to Brazil stopping that put for now
7555s	at about six back at the boxes of the
7559s	back of the map but svenko is the one
7561s	with a bit of the space here with the
7562s	brigitta Anna and Diva meanwhile this is
7564s	Anna and brigitta and deep on the other
7567s	side Rambo does find Ludwig on the low
7570s	ground while I Tracer 1v1 was happening
7571s	on the cart stopping that push for now
7574s	svenko does connect on to lazu though
7577s	nice shot from Davao onto that Hanzo
7580s	tries to maybe deal with that pressure
7582s	from svenko here now they have to back
7584s	up man without that honor they do not
7586s	have the sustainability to be able to
7587s	keep the neck and if they lose the neck
7589s	they lose control of being able to have
7592s	both Avenues of high ground in the
7593s	playgrounds because we're seeing
7595s	everyone to try to support their life as
7597s	long as possible really good use of
7598s	those pieces coming through from 180 and
7601s	that defense Matrix to be able to keep
7602s	the neck until Eliza was able to regroup
7604s	with the team but Brazil already pull
7606s	off that first opening that's so chilly
7608s	such a long time to be able to break
7610s	they're barely passed it in a handful to
7612s	answer your name but Brazil slowed down
7613s	temporarily have that pulse bomb ready
7615s	to go loving has to recall barely makes
7618s	it back to his team nice use of those
7620s	blanks to get back to it and also the
7621s	bout on the other side gets that kill
7623s	onto svenko so although Ludwig lives his
7625s	DPS partner does not Dragon strike from
7628s	the belt they go aggressive it connects
7630s	onto Axel just Ludwig now with a few
7632s	members of his team aligned so he's
7633s	gonna back out as the bounce Dragon
7634s	strike connects onto three members of
7636s	Brazil to give them that fight win no
7639s	they got to try and go back to holding
7640s	that aggressive position you can already
7642s	see that dividers I'm going but that
7645s	control will be able to take down doll
7647s	Criswell who got staggered in BBD
7649s	performing his only now dispatched
7651s	towards that respawn Point as well so
7653s	they'll are coming in with the majority
7655s	of ultimates in that pocket but Chile
7656s	because they won that fight have the
7658s	means of positioning in anticipation of
7660s	all of them so they hopefully shouldn't
7662s	get caught up by one it's gonna take
7664s	Brazil throwing one in to kite them into
7666s	a nest see what level quick does here on
7668s	the left side but this will be like this
7669s	out of Chile so far the bout has
7672s	got a broader mean My Little Drop
7673s	towards the car Dragon track from senko
7675s	over to the top Force Chile off into
7676s	that pulse bomb potential in there it is
7679s	the bout is removed from the lobby of
7680s	the pick Potential from
7683s	on the back line but it is entirely
7685s	avoided if the card is now pushing
7687s	towards the very end the only one
7688s	touching his crack down below with the
7691s	Nano boost goes up to The High Ground to
7692s	force that Dean bomb from dalka who will
7694s	get the Remake off as the belt will
7696s	rejoin his team in a second Ludwig down
7699s	below will have to deal with the rally
7700s	on full science d-bomb from track Above
7702s	The High Ground does not connect to find
7704s	to kill Nia with the rest of his team
7706s	come through towards that car with the
7708s	rally and the Nana boost engaged on
7709s	their side with that ultimate Advantage
7711s	they take full advantage of it now could
7713s	chase this down ladsonia also to find
7715s	Papo on that low ground Diva eventually
7718s	gets lost as well in Brazil played that
7720s	fight perfectly monster it takes a lot
7722s	of ultimates however but Brazil will be
7725s	able to win the fight pick up that
7726s	checkpoint and get a little bit more
7728s	time added to that I can chilly now back
7731s	to hot to Tycoon to be able to respawn
7733s	and not get staggered out as you can see
7735s	there's already eyeing up all of these
7737s	grounds to be able to hold away from the
7739s	defense sleep Hills on to divide their
7741s	hands from not an evil to push the away
7744s	defense Matrix now coming through for
7746s	both of them as everyone just buys for
7747s	control of flames a nice knee from
7750s	expert onto the back line but no shots
7751s	from svengo to kill him he drops down to
7753s	the forklift but Chile has to give up
7755s	that top space Ludwig though straight
7758s	back Ram yet again it feels like this
7760s	happened multiple times in this series
7761s	but we're getting the better of that
7763s	Tracer duel but he did have some support
7764s	from his own Brigitte meanwhile Dragon
7766s	strike to try to equalize it but it just
7768s	forces him off that high grounds but
7770s	actually finds that kill Antonia the
7772s	cart still pushing in this fight look he
7774s	has the force more to go he notice the
7775s	Hanzo double jumped away but Benco takes
7777s	down ran even though Ludwig's pulse bomb
7779s	was not a success they still have that
7780s	man Advantage Dragon strike still
7782s	available throws it onto The High Ground
7784s	to make sure they have to drop off
7786s	towards that forklift side last Moon
7788s	avoiding that damage carts still pushing
7789s	like you said Mark sidalka able to take
7792s	advantage of that cart space and put
7793s	forward to those boxes but a need slows
7796s	down the push of Brazil Lanes onto
7797s	svenko in the follow-up from Rams is
7799s	there Chile last second 4.25 meters
7802s	length Force Brazil to retreat for now
7805s	does it smoke and mirrors from Brazil
7806s	they've been able to push that payload
7808s	so close to the finish playing Chile yes
7809s	they have the advantages of alternative
7811s	Army but look what Swank has done he's
7813s	on to the Sombra he's going to be able
7815s	to threaten that back cap and Chile is
7817s	always going to have to be vigilant that
7818s	they don't allow the back cap to come
7820s	through they're anchored in position and
7823s	that gives so much more freedom to
7825s	Brazil TPS oh my God the bat almost goes
7828s	down but has those kills from my Zoo
7830s	pulse bond from RAM does not connect
7831s	either like I said the cart pressure is
7833s	still immense but spouse taking
7834s	advantage of this High Ground space
7835s	connects them to Ludwig I mean he
7837s	doesn't have his another Hanzo to deal
7839s	with but he does have to deal with the
7840s	flail from the arm oh my God the bow
7842s	gets picked off another side no more
7844s	One-Shot potential Chile might have to
7846s	use some ultimates to sustain here
7847s	against Brazil they drop down below can
7849s	get the hack off with the defensive
7851s	Matrix but a nano booth re-engage now
7853s	from Chile Brazil kind of wanted that so
7856s	if Chile doesn't find any picks this
7857s	could be an ultimate that it's not
7860s	necessarily wasted but at least doesn't
7861s	result in any kills Falcon now comes
7863s	from the top side does have that Diva
7865s	bomb ready to go they also have their
7867s	own Nano engage as well Dives onto that
7869s	Hans over the pocket from the back line
7871s	up with zoom Papo was too much to deal
7872s	with dalca though now his deep and enemy
7874s	territory gets the Nana boots dies some
7876s	of the Hanzo no double pocket or
7878s	defensive Matrix will save you there the
7880s	sleep does come through in a doctor but
7881s	he's immediately woken up the rally here
7883s	to sustain with the diva bomb but does
7885s	not find any kills now the desperately
7887s	trying to find lazulu on the back line
7889s	trying to avoid all that damage as bot
7891s	time for Pap for the trade back the
7893s	Brazilian uh brigitta but svenko with a
7896s	2K melee on till RAM and Papo gives them
7899s	those kills in the diva bomb to Zone and
7902s	enables Brazil to capture out on
7903s	Gibraltar to give the net to a victory
7905s	yeah Brazil it feels like we're just a
7908s	little bit ahead in terms of that macro
7909s	game both on that defense and on their
7912s	attacks so much distance is picked up on
7915s	that payload for virtually free because
7917s	everyone is just so occupied dealing
7919s	with all of those players vying for
7921s	control of the choke and the ship me
7923s	meanwhile the payload is just making its
7925s	merry way entirely uncontested putting
7928s	us to a final fight territory and
7929s	forcing Chilean to throw in so many
7931s	ultimates to being able to hold on just
7933s	a little bit longer I mean great work
7935s	from Brazil overall get that 2-0 real
7937s	quick over to Chile as well Maxi and uh
7940s	I mean what's some of the standouts for
7941s	you in that series Max I feel like it
7943s	seemed like it was the entire team of
7945s	Brazil but you know individually do you
7949s	have any individual call outs for this
7950s	team I mean like you said all of these
7952s	players absolutely on the absolute peak
7955s	of their game so many of them standing
7958s	out I'm sure Ash as well is going to
7959s	have her favorite so we'll bring her
7961s	back so that he uh she can come and
7963s	discuss hers with us but I have to I
7966s	have to give it up svenko was hitting
7967s	the flashy shots yes but dalka and
7970s	Ludwig being able to play The Objective
7972s	being able to play what really matters
7974s	at the end of the day just allowed
7977s	Brazil to have that extra Edge in terms
7979s	of macro making
7981s	and that's a big thing right it was all
7983s	in the macro there for Brazil the fact
7986s	that they had that cohesion once again
7987s	going into this second match up and then
7990s	also just the foresight to be able to
7992s	keep an eye on the actual prize when it
7994s	comes down to pushing that payload but
7996s	what a way to end things off there for
7999s	that too and oh sweet coming out
8001s	unfortunate for chile a lot to I think
8003s	think about for this team going forward
8005s	as far as being able to it take it the
8008s	distance if they want to continue on
8010s	within the group stage here in this
8012s	round robin for the open call for the
8014s	online qualifiers sorry but that's just
8018s	it's tough It's a little bit
8019s	heartbreaking to be honest Dustin there
8021s	for chile with just how that last Point
8022s	ended out yeah they were super close I
8025s	think at the end of pushing us to that
8026s	map number three
8028s	um but you know at the end of the day
8029s	they just kind of got out played as a
8031s	team at the moment Brazil obviously did
8033s	play it very conservative I will say
8035s	towards the end obviously they kind of
8037s	you know didn't want to take risky
8039s	fights they were kind of trying to avoid
8041s	fights where maybe they could have come
8043s	back with some ultimates they just
8044s	wanted to disengage make sure Chile
8046s	wasted ultimate set at points but uh you
8049s	know that could maybe lead something
8050s	into later on for Brazilian for Brazil's
8052s	matchups but like you said I mean Ash
8054s	yet it is disappointing for for chile I
8056s	think they can come away from that
8058s	matchup at least understanding okay we
8059s	have a great Diva player in Frac we've
8062s	got some good supports as well I think
8064s	maybe if they focus on on those sort of
8066s	units this team doesn't look that bad
8068s	for their future matches
8070s	it's all about refining all those
8072s	details at the end of the day right and
8074s	just being able to move forward with
8076s	that mentality keep things positive keep
8078s	everything in a more optimistic lights
8081s	as we check out the replays from this
8083s	last match up overall but again I mean
8087s	just the Synergy to come out on this
8090s	Brazilian squad has it was just
8092s	unparalleled to be honestly I mean look
8094s	at that regression too when you compare
8096s	both of the sides in terms of how those
8099s	hounselors aggressed onto catwalk when
8101s	chili is on the attacking side we we
8103s	have like one minute and a half
8104s	stalemate of hansel's hiding behind
8106s	brakita Shields breaking the shield not
8108s	wanting to speak the angle because
8110s	they're at risk and waiting for the
8111s	bridge Shield to reset and then going
8113s	back and doing the exact same thing over
8114s	again when Brazilian villains attacking
8117s	they have a little bit of that Hansel
8118s	standoff and then they literally just
8120s	run
8123s	sitting on that High Ground immediately
8125s	breaking what could have been a one and
8127s	a half minute or even longer stalemate
8129s	so even though they do lose the fight
8131s	afterwards because we're really good
8133s	Dragon strike coming through from the
8135s	opposing Handler right into uh generator
8138s	room coming out from about catching on
8140s	to so many of the Squishies they've
8142s	still been able to break the time Bank
8144s	in terms of Chili's defense
8146s	and I think those standoffs are really
8149s	what tells you about how fearsome of a
8151s	team Brazil is looking to be here within
8155s	the Americas conference I I'm pretty
8158s	sure even on the socials the Brazilian
8160s	team retweeted a tweet that said that
8163s	the Koreans were going to be stunned
8164s	when they saw the Firepower that the
8166s	Brazilians were bringing into the
8169s	OverWatch World Cup there Dustin
8171s	is that can I laugh I mean like bro like
8174s	nobody could deal with the crew what are
8175s	you talking about man that's like like I
8178s	get it like you want to be copying your
8179s	team I respect it okay but listen that's
8180s	got that's a tough ass man I'll believe
8182s	it when I see it all right I'll believe
8183s	it when I see it I don't mean to be a
8185s	pessimist here but come on like we're
8187s	talking about Korea one of the most
8188s	dominant regions in the history of
8190s	OverWatch in Brazil they've they've got
8193s	the Firepower there but
8195s	well I'll believe it when I see it
8197s	actually okay I'll believe what I see it
8199s	that's valid that's valid I think it's
8201s	just fun to kind of like set those
8202s	Stakes have that little banter on the
8204s	socials as well between regions too it
8207s	just keeps everything fun and it keeps
8209s	the competition entertaining for sure
8212s	but again a huge 2-0 so far I mean it's
8216s	only been two two match-ups here within
8218s	the round Robins thus far have been
8221s	those two and oh sweeps or both teams
8223s	and Moxie I mean what do you think we
8226s	could maybe look forward to for chile
8228s	going into maybe even tomorrow I think
8231s	chili definitely like Dustin's side they
8233s	have a lot of really good players they
8236s	just need to build those foundations
8238s	into a slightly more synergized team
8240s	where they have a game plan and they
8242s	don't sort of 50 50 yet they fully
8244s	commit because when you try to have so
8247s	many different win conditions and plates
8249s	spinning all at once Something's Gonna
8250s	Break Something's Gonna clatter but one
8252s	thing that definitely didn't break I'm
8254s	so happy that dalka is going to take the
8256s	MVP I know everyone loves to see the
8259s	flashy shots come through from the
8261s	Stellar Hanzo but I mean calm on the
8263s	eliminations they're damaged but more
8266s	importantly the peeling for both his
8268s	supports and the objective itself dalka
8271s	was next to none
8273s	you can't deny the numbers there right
8275s	eight just under 19k damage mitigated as
8278s	well they're Dustin huge numbers being
8280s	put out by jalka a well-deserved MVP at
8283s	the end of the day in this lesson 3
8285s	Series DACA played well I think that
8288s	overall was at points the better Diva
8291s	for sure and uh for Brazil they've got
8294s	to feel comfortable with him also
8296s	flexing over to end times Winston and
8298s	maybe other Heroes that are in a similar
8300s	hero pool right I think that uh you know
8302s	a lot of these dive Heroes you got to be
8304s	able to flex over to Diva or for Winston
8306s	and that's what the Brazilians touched
8308s	on I mean I'd message them as well and
8309s	uh you know through their socials they
8311s	told me that you know dauka's got that
8313s	flexibility and those Heroes that he
8315s	could pull out and obviously was a
8317s	fantastic Diva player in the series
8319s	and I think that's that flexibility is
8321s	something important to consider about
8323s	how it carries on for as you we move
8325s	further within the OverWatch World Cup
8327s	especially you know if you make it out
8329s	of these groups and head into that Robin
8331s	round robin group stage over on the Lan
8333s	is the fact that there are meta shifts
8335s	across different regions as well the
8337s	different play styles that teens like to
8340s	lean into and having that added
8343s	adaptability if you will does give you
8345s	that edge up to respond a bit faster to
8348s	your opponents there Moxie yeah like you
8350s	said different regions are going to have
8352s	incredibly different playstyles they're
8354s	going to have incredibly different metas
8355s	and so having players who can be able to
8358s	hold together this cool roster in terms
8360s	of competition in their own region and
8363s	then once you move up into a little bit
8364s	later on in the competition still able
8366s	to have that corals to instinergy but
8368s	have the ability to be able to counter
8370s	pick two incredibly important as we move
8372s	ahead
8373s	that is for sure but everybody at home
8376s	we are going to swing to a quick be
8378s	right back screen and on the other side
8380s	of it I'm pretty sure we should have an
8382s	interview pending from somebody on the
8384s	Brazilian team so you guys grab some
8386s	water grab some snacks stay tuned and
8388s	we'll see you in a bit

8701s	owning in the server delga
8703s	congratulations on your 2-0 how are you
8705s	feeling thank you so much Ash um I'm
8707s	really happy uh
8710s	that we could display like some
8711s	Brazilian OverWatch for everybody and
8713s	hope we can keep you going
8716s	well that's really awesome you guys
8718s	definitely showed your stuff and I was
8721s	actually wondering how does it feel
8722s	being back on a team with Naya and
8724s	Ludwig considering that you guys have
8726s	had such a history together and
8727s	obviously rounding out with the other
8729s	players
8730s	it's really nice because I could be like
8732s	some of my Idols that what motivated me
8734s	like
8736s	um I knew that played like a long time
8738s	ago and on the World Cups Fest and from
8741s	Ludwig in Neo it was like
8743s	um
8744s	they're like family you know so I play
8746s	with new since my first team so it's
8749s	really nice to have the life people that
8751s	I really care about to play with me on
8752s	the
8753s	the Brazilian team that's awesome and
8756s	actually whatever I cast it one of our
8758s	casters Dustin was curious about what
8761s	you've actually been up to since
8763s	contenders has been offline in that off
8765s	season and whatnot right now
8768s	so I actually I tried a college for like
8773s	game design but then it was my thing and
8776s	now I'm doing some programming stuff oh
8779s	nice but yeah but uh hopefully we can
8782s	like keep our our thing going you know
8786s	and prove that we deserve to have some
8789s	more space in the community here and
8791s	that's where why we're here for that's
8793s	what's all about
8795s	absolutely love that representing your
8798s	nation as well right and also sure
8800s	having the opportunity to play up
8802s	against some other region some other
8804s	countries as well but on this Diva pick
8807s	I want you to maybe tell me a little bit
8809s	about what was going on in the comms for
8812s	you guys within this series is a 2-0
8814s	Brazil looked really really strong and
8817s	unfortunately at least for the side of
8819s	Chile they were struggling a little bit
8822s	about their with their Synergy do you
8824s	mind breaking down how you guys were
8825s	able to like kind of pick that apart
8828s	so
8829s	it's all about like setting up our
8831s	backline so the diva is good for
8834s	rotating and that's all there comes like
8837s	we we make sure like uh Excel and
8840s	nowhere are like good to play you know
8842s	and then that Ludwig is doing his
8844s	staying his moving cart
8846s	and
8849s	um it all really just connected well we
8851s	could rotate we could get a spatials
8852s	right and then
8854s	we could get the pickups fortunately
8857s	and the nades as well that didn't come
8859s	in
8860s	everything falls into place and whatnot
8862s	and great yeah right yeah keep keeping
8866s	the energy high in in the game as well
8868s	with each other are you guys like very
8871s	chaotic in your calms yeah
8874s	we're so much chaotic we have like some
8877s	uh
8878s	energetic players they like to shout out
8880s	so it's like uh I don't know like
8883s	Controlled Chaos I like to think
8886s	that's awesome because that's like you
8888s	get to just keep that energy high and
8890s	keep that going like the entire time
8891s	keep that momentum right but um another
8894s	question that I had for you was that I
8897s	know that you said that you're really
8898s	excited to play against Peru yeah do you
8901s	want to tell me a little bit about that
8902s	maybe rivalry that's Brewing there
8905s	yeah I mean I really like the some of
8909s	the Peru players we like are friends so
8911s	I would consider like a good uh rematch
8914s	you know it's not like a rivalry as I
8916s	want them I want to see them succeed but
8919s	it would be tough like uh seeing their
8923s	past their their best match of uh
8926s	against Colombia I think they they do
8928s	have a shot but they have to put some
8930s	some more wind in sorry and I'm rooting
8933s	for them
8934s	well that's really sweet and really
8936s	awesome DACA I mean that's less of a
8939s	rivalry more of a rooting for the homies
8940s	and wanting to kind of Face Off against
8942s	each other kind of vibe for sure yeah
8945s	um but if you guys do get the
8947s	opportunity to make it to the World Cup
8949s	land here as far as the other regions
8952s	goes do you have an eye on a specific
8955s	country that you want to face up against
8956s	there
8958s	um
8960s	I don't think like specifically I really
8962s	wanted to play like uh the Korean and
8965s	the Chinese
8967s	especially I know they're pretty good
8969s	and we it would be good to like learn
8972s	from like that experience you know to be
8975s	a
8977s	one kind like an opportunity that you
8980s	can't uh take for granted you know
8983s	yeah absolutely I just want to say
8986s	one more thing
8988s	I would like to say that uh our Rosary
8991s	is unshakable as we like to say is
8995s	and so we we're gonna keep the going
8998s	I love that I love the confidence that
9000s	you guys are bringing into this but
9002s	before we do go to a quick break and
9005s	whatnot I wanted to give you this
9006s	opportunity to be able to show give any
9009s	shout outs or thank yous before we send
9011s	off yeah sure I want to think uh I think
9014s	my my whole team the coach shonarato
9016s	knew the the other thing that we
9018s	couldn't
9019s	play together like both MVPs
9022s	pretty good tank line and I like to
9025s	thank my mom and my girlfriend Amanda
9027s	and my grandma that is watching from
9029s	home I hope that she's fine because she
9031s	usually gets really nervous when I play
9032s	I have to take like some meds so I hope
9035s	she's doing well
9036s	okay well that's so sweet thank you so
9039s	much dalka for taking the time to do
9040s	this interview and Gigi is on your 2-0
9043s	and good luck for the rest of the games
9045s	that we have coming up everybody oh yeah
9048s	thank you so much of course and for
9052s	everyone else at home we're just gonna
9053s	send you a quick little break before we
9056s	come up with our third matchup of the
9058s	day so you guys stay tuned for one of
9060s	the most anticipated ones early on in
9062s	the OverWatch World Cup Canada versus
9064s	USA

9394s	this is the match that you've all been
9396s	waiting for we've got Team Canada versus
9399s	USA coming in hot here for match number
9402s	three of the day Moxie I mean I feel
9407s	like these squads barely even need an
9408s	introduction well if I gotta get one and
9411s	it's going to be absolutely still
9412s	started because I mean these horses are
9415s	just the absolutely stacked so many
9417s	players coming in from OverWatch League
9419s	we have four Vancouver Titans free
9421s	playing one behind the scenes given at a
9424s	chibi it's actually tied to Vancouver
9426s	Titans as well except she's she's going
9429s	for for Team Canada this time around so
9431s	she's having to play up against two of
9433s	her players we've got sugar-free coming
9435s	through as well I mean sugar-free has
9437s	just been such an exceptional storyline
9439s	the OverWatch as a whole got picked up
9441s	in 2019 but at lunch Reign was too young
9444s	to be able to go into a OverWatch League
9446s	at the time then we saw the OverWatch
9448s	League age limit being lowered by years
9450s	so he immediately gets picked up in an
9452s	absolute pitting frenzy to Vancouver the
9454s	Titans and now he's going to be playing
9456s	the Team USA so in the space of one year
9459s	he gets to take both OverWatch league
9461s	and the World Cup off at the exact same
9464s	time
9465s	and Dustin I gotta get your thoughts on
9467s	these squads too I mean you are more
9469s	than familiar with these players
9470s	oh yeah for sure I think that USA has a
9473s	great lineup although you know there's
9475s	been a lot of doomers as of late with
9477s	Team USA but I think the the death of
9479s	this roster is definitely greatly
9480s	overstated I think that
9483s	um in this tournament especially a
9484s	decisive win over Canada could mean a
9486s	lot for them but honestly you know on
9488s	Canada side they're not you know too far
9490s	behind the ball here they have some very
9492s	very good talent OverWatch League
9493s	contenders Talent
9495s	um and a lot of players that are like
9497s	pretty much on the cusp of OverWatch
9498s	league in itself so for this lineup I
9501s	could see them doing quite well
9502s	especially with this back line with
9503s	crims though still a very very fantastic
9506s	Flex support false on the tank as well
9508s	has that flexibility and Seeker is a
9511s	truly standout hit scan can at times be
9514s	the strongest in the lobby
9516s	yeah the DPS go as we know him right but
9520s	man Moxie I feel like
9522s	we already know that this is one of the
9524s	most anticipated matches especially for
9526s	a day one match to be coming through but
9529s	I need to know what are the stakes in
9531s	your opinion I need like set this the
9534s	tail to be told here between King Canada
9536s	and Team USA Dustin's already raised one
9539s	storyline which is USA obviously a lot
9543s	of Doubt is coming in with some of the
9545s	performances from some of the plays in
9546s	the OverWatch I think that I've been
9547s	picked up to this roster so we're
9549s	decisive win over Canada is immediately
9552s	going to be able to silence all all of
9554s	that and there's so much confidence in
9556s	morale but for Canada Canada it's
9559s	personal they are playing for Team
9561s	Canada and they're going to be playing
9562s	up against Toronto Defiance players who
9565s	literally have their label in the title
9569s	both of these teams absolute Giants in
9572s	group hey USA obviously the favorites
9575s	being the current defending Champion but
9577s	if Canada were able to walk away with a
9579s	win instantly Canada becomes that main
9582s	team to beat in the spotlight and USA
9585s	looks a little bit vulnerable to all of
9587s	the players and teams below as well but
9589s	I mean look at this roster does anyone
9591s	hear one Thunderball definitely not
9593s	after the performances from some of them
9595s	in mid-season Madness rifle was an
9597s	absolute monster a couple of weeks ago
9599s	yeah I mean I mean RuPaul's insane
9601s	Aspire is what both coming up into the
9603s	starting lineup I mean that's a big deal
9605s	for this team to run double Flex support
9607s	as one of the is a hard transition to
9610s	make right it depends on the meta
9611s	obviously but to have that Flex over the
9613s	Lucio so it's definitely a difficult
9615s	choice and points for Team USA though I
9618s	think that they can maybe at times carry
9620s	through the DPS it's even carry through
9621s	that back line just overall mechanical
9623s	prowess to give them that win and
9625s	obviously and shelios will be our first
9627s	map for such an exciting series to come
9630s	oh a little rerun of a map that we've
9633s	already seen earlier today fortunately
9635s	things didn't pan out too too well in
9638s	that game between Brazil and Chile at
9640s	least for chile but hopefully gonna see
9642s	a bit of a turnaround a tighter game
9643s	between Team Canada and Team USA again
9646s	like Moxie mentioned a lot of weight on
9648s	this USA Squad being the reigning
9650s	Defenders here of the OverWatch World
9652s	Cup back in 2019 but it's a fresh new
9657s	look right four years later fast
9659s	forwarding into OverWatch 2 as well so a
9662s	different game when it comes down to it
9664s	just whittling down from six to five
9668s	players on a roster in a server but
9671s	Moxie with this map pick what can you
9673s	tell me about team Cannon Team USA and
9676s	what you anticipate to see actually
9677s	coming out here for their team
9679s	compositions
9680s	well I mean I'm just really excited to
9682s	see what these teams have cooked up
9684s	because I mean we talked about players
9685s	we also have to acknowledge that uh the
9687s	team Behind These players is also
9689s	absolutely stacked USA coming with Gator
9691s	the main coach previously for Atlanta
9693s	Reign who just walks away with a win in
9696s	mid-season Madness itself Canada they've
9699s	got Danny the current coach for
9701s	Washington justice tikiti as well her
9703s	assistant coach who we used to be the
9705s	assistant coach for Dallas fuel as well
9707s	as SNR who has worked previously for
9710s	drink room if you remember trigram from
9712s	the OverWatch League Pro and one of our
9715s	teams who are able to from contenders
9717s	take down San Francisco shark
9720s	all right well let's uh obviously get
9722s	into this Moxie and I think that we
9725s	can't we don't even have to say much
9726s	about this matchup like you said as we
9727s	leave Ash behind we move into ilios
9730s	ruins will be the first map in such an
9733s	exciting anticipated matchup oh I'm just
9736s	so looking forward to seeing these two
9737s	go ahead to head sugar free on the same
9740s	going to be swapping most likely over
9741s	towards that trace of just using it for
9743s	the team to get out of Spawn and touch
9745s	that point a little bit faster because
9747s	it's going to be dive but Canada
9749s	actually Fielding false on that Jungkook
9752s	Queen so this is Nerf junker Queen but
9753s	you still have a lot of sustainability
9755s	still play incredibly aggressively onto
9757s	UFO yeah I think that the for her
9759s	individually for sure that may not have
9761s	a lot of change but glue coming from
9763s	that right side the one for that poke
9765s	immediately on the Seeker on the flank
9766s	meanwhile jumps forward towards that
9768s	point to try to control but Canada's not
9770s	giving up that space just yet Dynamite
9772s	hydrant connects on to false eventually
9775s	it will shout to stay healthy as well on
9777s	to noxious to keep a nice healthy
9779s	sugar-free dealing with Seeker towards
9781s	the point has to recall actually but
9783s	still has trace of mind to avoid the
9784s	incoming damage but goes all the way
9786s	down to 1 HP to barely escape with his
9788s	life points still not under under
9790s	control for anybody just yet USA drops
9792s	down towards that point to touch it last
9794s	second and hydrant looking for those
9796s	shots over the top drops the dynamite
9797s	but false with an ax to collusion space
9799s	will find him on that engage they're
9802s	still nice and healthy they still have
9803s	the members here that are doing quite
9804s	well for Canada they've taken 12 that
9807s	points and pushed Team USA back to their
9809s	spawn the losing collage means losing
9811s	that massive hit box to be able to
9813s	develop all of this damage coming
9814s	through from noxus and as a result USA
9817s	have to back up and
9822s	are so known for what an interesting
9825s	difference that we have seen without the
9827s	Widowmaker instead of Ash right these
9828s	ashes go up but no one shot just getting
9830s	damaged in the back line meanwhile Bob
9832s	towards that point to Zone also with a
9833s	nano boost meanwhile convenient Rush
9835s	from turns out who sustain no kariko no
9838s	no soon just to save false there on the
9839s	inside needs a beat drop from mayfall
9841s	was there and USA have rotated all the
9843s	way around the point of pulse bomb to
9844s	try to equalize it but it's far too late
9847s	he's lost his team Canada will get white
9849s	in USA we'll grab a hold of that point
9851s	yeah beat drop unfortunately too late to
9854s	say false again with hope that tank you
9856s	just don't have the means of being able
9857s	to hold your grinder specially against
9859s	firetron's Bob who was capping that
9861s	point as the fight went for now we're
9862s	going to see the Widowmaker come on just
9864s	momentarily however as USA we're getting
9865s	pretty close to those distances now
9868s	they're going to go back home to Seeker
9870s	for the Tracer sugar first got that pop
9871s	on both of them just playing bodyguard
9874s	not allowing counter free entry with the
9876s	sports and coming through doesn't stick
9877s	then Crimson in the meantime actually
9879s	learned the kunai take hydron down and
9881s	that means that counter can group up and
9883s	those Dynamite punish them a little
9885s	worried as they use the zoo early in
9886s	that fight but they're actually coming
9887s	back into this one-off obnoxious as well
9889s	to find sugar-free so even though the
9891s	ultimates are committed pretending to
9892s	stay with the rally with the Primal Rage
9894s	they do find prims though however Canada
9896s	have to close that point false Falls all
9897s	the way down to 18 eventually RuPaul
9900s	will find him but he's against the bomb
9901s	towards that point eventually RuPaul
9903s	loses his life because of it but hybrid
9905s	still on the outside had to lose as well
9907s	without false in the fight Canada can't
9909s	really sustain as old carella trying to
9911s	run away from Magic meatballs and Seeker
9914s	who is there to help with that
9915s	assistance and they actually reclaim
9917s	that point at 40 that stole from the
9919s	Lucio and price just foreign
9941s	boss walks into the point notices
9943s	everybody's falling away but holds bomb
9945s	from Secret is avoided narrowly by Team
9948s	USA Nana who's on the kalues there
9949s	engages here on defaults early gets
9951s	poked down so low that he can't go for
9953s	the engagement Seeker on the flank did
9955s	take out Woopa however it did cost him
9957s	his life because he had to recall during
9959s	it ill traveled nice shot from him
9961s	Canada have rotated towards that point
9962s	with about 80 percent through it being
9964s	fully capped they commit the katuni rush
9966s	here first to sustain false in this
9968s	fight keep that shout off cooldown as
9971s	well as the build towards that beat drop
9972s	sugar-free still has the pull some as
9974s	well Team USA was in control of that
9976s	point but they opt to back out for now
9978s	and get a re-engage lots of percentage
9980s	however gained from the
9983s	fighting himself onto that point and
9985s	keeping it sold no one playing in
9986s	position to be mostly caught I buy that
9989s	Rampages now we just see because
9990s	annoying Comfort trying to bait out that
9992s	shot as quickly as possible so the Joker
9995s	Queen is so vulnerable doesn't have the
9996s	opportunity to be able to use the
9997s	Rampage and now USA gets to move on to
9999s	support for the flip 90 on the board
10001s	hydrant's Bob in that fight was used
10003s	Canada I still have those ultimates but
10005s	it's so hard for false to find a good
10008s	enough ultimate at the time that you
10010s	have that beating gauge like I said USA
10011s	have no support ultimates building up
10013s	two old trailers but sugar-free he comes
10015s	back onto Seeker who had to touch the
10017s	point to stop overtime mayfall now
10019s	commits the beat drop as well down a man
10021s	knock just goes low will fall to collude
10023s	Falls has been holding on to this
10025s	ultimate for the entire map it is
10027s	absolutely nobody has to lose in the
10030s	rest of Team USA collapse onto Canada
10032s	bringing it up on the round in ilios no
10035s	I'm gonna start a petition that will
10037s	rename overtime to Lenny time because
10041s	free just absolutely
10043s	dominated that Teresa 1v1 just being
10047s	able to find those really good lengths
10050s	of the mobility keep that point in
10051s	control both Falls to have to go all the
10054s	way around into the back line alone on a
10057s	solo Mission with that Rampage finally
10059s	being invested having held on to it for
10062s	so long and like you said it finds
10065s	absolutely nothing as USA just do such a
10068s	good job of picking up that point and
10071s	then playing around The High Ground
10072s	around the sidelines that no one gets
10074s	caught out by the JQ
10075s	so smart My Team USA overall fantastic
10078s	teamwork for them to avoid false and
10080s	make him look uh make him look stupid in
10083s	that fight honestly great work from them
10085s	now into the second map Moxie you know
10087s	I'm curious if they stick with the same
10088s	thing because you know obviously we know
10089s	there's other Maps here like this one in
10092s	particular at uh in Lighthouse where the
10094s	ash does well but they ought to go over
10095s	towards that Echo a lot of Mobility a
10098s	lot of High Ground Control and also
10099s	anticipation is not going to be a JQ
10101s	it's going to be a diva and that being
10103s	had burned through defense matrix it's
10105s	not a projectile I can really quickly to
10107s	get too close do you like that diva from
10109s	her mac and you can see the Poke coming
10111s	through from the USA But Canada with
10113s	numbers Advantage should be able to pick
10115s	up the point thought obnoxious maybe
10117s	without that Ash having to do him on the
10118s	backside could find some work but it's
10120s	in ignated and chased down by hydrant
10122s	sugar-free is also immediately there
10123s	with that beam and it's just too much
10126s	damage for Canada to deal with at the
10127s	moment they get immediately wiped just
10130s	without secret and fault just backing up
10132s	Seeker does get delayed false does trade
10133s	back to lose button will also lose the
10135s	Mecca's USA flipped that point back in
10137s	their favor yeah Echo is just so strong
10139s	in this composition dive is all about
10141s	playing off of Heroes because how far is
10144s	low enough and Echo even without the
10145s	mercy pocket has the means of being able
10148s	to chunk those halfway that literally oh
10150s	Winston or Tracer sending any pop of
10153s	damage that way just immediately balls
10155s	them over and because you don't need the
10157s	most see damage boosting the echo you
10158s	don't have to sacrifice one of your
10160s	support vulnerability for it
10162s	but they do take that point percentage
10164s	Advantage although there is still a long
10166s	way to go on this map not just in the
10169s	rest of his team rotate towards that
10171s	point actually he holds The High Ground
10172s	now Dove on by the Winston but it's
10174s	Seeker to find that full swap early on
10176s	to recall Nate did come out of noxious
10178s	to slow him down on that push so they
10180s	can come back and deal with him but
10181s	Canada off of a fantastic pull from him
10183s	Seeker reclaimed that point before Hydro
10186s	could even touch and the Nana was
10187s	concludes was committed from USA as well
10189s	even though they're down in this fight
10191s	koulouse trying to find some more
10192s	valuable go inside building towards that
10194s	final race has built it just the last
10196s	second before the incident grenade could
10198s	find his wife he'll jump back towards
10200s	the point at full spot from hydron to
10201s	try to equalize it and it does
10203s	sugar-free also copied the in as well to
10205s	continue their push USA have rotated all
10208s	the way back around to the point as
10209s	trimso is gone that's a lot of the
10211s	healing gone for Canada false can't even
10213s	die in the point to make sure his Diva
10215s	bomb gets maximum value Heiser actually
10217s	follows through onto Fallston baby Diva
10219s	form and dives from that kill but that's
10221s	totally worth it because USA have the
10224s	advantage founded do you have that ball
10225s	however to try and send onto a point to
10227s	find that flip as fast as possible
10229s	because the USA are going to be playing
10231s	into Maples rally in this next fight but
10233s	with the ultimate Advantage counter
10235s	should come out on top not just doing
10237s	everything you can find shows
10240s	forces the rally out early and you as
10242s	they can literally just rub it on the
10243s	plane they can wait until that rally is
10245s	gone and pull back to points tried to
10248s	but it was such a great disengage from
10249s	Canada to make sure that sugar-free was
10252s	taken out Rupal also committed his own
10253s	rally in that fight too USA still has
10255s	that point control want to maintain it
10257s	even though they're down in this fight
10259s	on to kaluz looking for that back line
10261s	but he's gonna back out of there maybe a
10262s	bit of miscommunication potentially
10264s	because now they don't have both support
10265s	ultimates and are even with Canada yeah
10267s	they don't have the Nana versus crucial
10269s	way to send on to college to be able to
10270s	fight the charge up to that Primal and
10273s	take the fight to the point where Primal
10275s	is at its most dangerous pushing those
10276s	players towards those edges because
10278s	Canada now can literally just jump on
10280s	these dive targets making sure that USA
10282s	do not get the opportunity to play off
10284s	of sugar freeze damage because it's too
10285s	aggressive and gets traded I mean
10287s	they've noticed they've noticed who to
10288s	focus here Seeker on that back line
10290s	trying to play towards the mega health
10292s	pack but unfortunately chased down by
10293s	trigger free and the rest of Team USA
10295s	meanwhile sugar-free the target of
10296s	Canada in this fight Anthony also on to
10299s	false who loses the mech and then give
10301s	up that point to Team USA Canada Shirley
10303s	are gonna start backing you up they
10305s	still have maybe even here Crimson also
10307s	has found Photography in a trade but
10309s	hydrant eventually finds the baby Diva a
10311s	false meatball also gets staggered as
10313s	well that's going to be so annoying for
10316s	Captain to see what's Target of your
10317s	baby Diva and your Brigida and now
10320s	potentially noxious too oh no here it is
10324s	hydronic weights and positions doesn't
10325s	even need to commit the pulseman for the
10328s	interception as USA are going to be able
10331s	to in a pretty dominant style take the
10334s	first map between these two teams and
10336s	honestly Dustin I was not expecting it
10338s	to be that decisive between these two no
10342s	yeah points you know Toronto or Toronto
10344s	what the heck I'm starting to call in
10345s	Toronto because of Team USA but you know
10347s	what time Canada did look solid but you
10350s	know obviously USA overall just had the
10353s	control had a Tempo but it's still an
10355s	installing series regardless I think
10356s	that Canada could still have their
10359s	wickeditions on next on the upcoming
10361s	Maps obviously you know I hate to be
10364s	that guy but Seeker on Tracer I don't
10366s	know if that's play mock see like what
10368s	do you think like it just feels like
10369s	secret on Tracer is is the focus of Team
10372s	USA they keep punting him down and it's
10374s	been relatively difficult we'll have to
10376s	gauge your thoughts with Ash here as we
10378s	uh we bring back our lovely host
10382s	whoo okay Team USA like you said a very
10386s	dominant showing here for this first
10388s	matchup and I mean they've got a fire
10391s	lit under the right box you got the fact
10393s	that people have been down on those Team
10395s	USA stunks they need to start off with
10397s	this strong showing to prove everyone
10399s	wrong I mean I think they've done that
10401s	you look at that performance you look at
10404s	that first range of ruins false didn't
10406s	get to use Rampage literally until the
10408s	very last fight on that map because of
10410s	just how well they're able to play that
10412s	macro the fact that they were able to
10414s	take control of that point and then even
10416s	though some of them should be vulnerable
10418s	when the jungkooking gets close they
10420s	always make sure that the point of
10421s	contact in those engagements is
10423s	collusion he has the means of being able
10425s	to absorb the damage jump back to his
10427s	Anna he even change that as well into
10429s	Nano charge that you always have your
10431s	honor ultimate up and have them into
10433s	just sustaining on that point to
10434s	Absolute eternity
10436s	yeah no all really good shows there I
10438s	mean it's just general
10440s	understanding of those timings having
10442s	that Synergy coming through overall and
10445s	like you said manipulating the map and
10447s	the opponent their opponents uh to the
10449s	best of their ability and that was what
10452s	Team USA did ends it is kind of scary
10456s	for Team Canada I think going into the
10459s	second map again it's only a best of
10461s	three Series so not a lot of opportunity
10464s	to make that big big comeback happen
10467s	because you don't have as many maps to
10469s	work with Dustin no yeah it's not it's
10472s	it's not exactly a lot to work with but
10474s	you know these teams just want to get
10476s	that qualification right if they could
10477s	at least get a map off of uh Team USA
10480s	that'll be quite good or even get the
10481s	win obviously but realistically both of
10483s	these teams are quite ahead in terms of
10485s	at least leading into the tournament
10487s	than the other teams in their group so
10489s	this matchup really is like you said a
10491s	grudge match however it won't go that
10493s	full first to three distance it will be
10495s	that first of two so obviously the next
10497s	if USA can win the next map that'll be
10499s	the end of the series but you know USA
10502s	at points did look super good with their
10504s	overall disengages rotations around the
10506s	point
10507s	um they even at times had hydron swath
10509s	over to the Tracer have sugar free play
10512s	that Echo I like their overall ideology
10514s	I think the the overall meta and
10516s	OverWatch and their flexibility is
10518s	really what's going to give them an edge
10519s	over Canada at the moment because it
10521s	truly feels like Canada's flexibility
10523s	has been kind of strange with noxious
10525s	and Seeker obviously overlapping in
10527s	terms of hero4
10529s	yeah that's definitely going to make
10530s	things difficult for sure because you
10532s	don't have as many options to swap onto
10535s	another hero to try and change things up
10537s	at least not something that is as
10539s	comfortable as it normally would be for
10541s	you but overall as a reminder to
10544s	everyone at home though if you guys are
10546s	rooting for Team USA or Team Canada or
10549s	even both the World Cup Home and Away
10551s	skin bundles are now live hurry and get
10554s	them before they leave the shop on June
10556s	27th there are three bundles the emec
10559s	aipac and American bundles you get all
10562s	Home and Away skins for all the heroes
10564s	within those bundles and they support
10566s	the teams directly by contributing to
10568s	the World Cup prize pool so you guys can
10570s	shop now at battlenet.com or on the
10573s	OverWatch 2 in-game shop learn more at
10575s	OverWatch world cup.com but as I wrap up
10580s	all of those thoughts and hype everybody
10582s	up in chat for these two teams Moxie I I
10586s	gotta know as far as Team Canada goes
10588s	what adjustments do they need to make
10591s	right here right now going into match
10593s	number two I think the biggest concern
10595s	is unfortunately not going to go away
10597s	and that's just that USA were able to
10599s	keep controlling the tempo players like
10601s	hydron collage were always able to
10604s	really be able to just Chase those
10606s	struggling disengaging players coming
10608s	through from Canada's side and make sure
10610s	that candle will fall through backs
10612s	against the wall throw in ultimates not
10614s	to be able to cycle through ultimate
10616s	economy in smart ways but to just try
10618s	and save their own skins a lot of the
10620s	time with things like the self-destructs
10621s	and that meant that they didn't really
10623s	get to play off of each other's Synergy
10625s	and the big glaring warning sign of that
10627s	occurring both like Dawson pointed out
10629s	zika a lot of the time would be found
10631s	out because there would be no other
10633s	distraction when the Tracer went in for
10636s	those picks a lot of the time when
10637s	hydron was going in for those picks he
10640s	wasn't the focus that Canada was having
10642s	to turn and deal with instead it was
10644s	sugar-free and collage being in their
10646s	faces and allowing that Trace to get so
10648s	much more room to breathe
10650s	well we'll see if this map pick coming
10652s	out from Team Canada though will allow
10654s	them to find a bit more success on those
10657s	types of plays that you were just
10658s	mentioning there amongxi Dustin I
10662s	okay I know that you hate that I keep
10664s	throwing you into the prediction
10666s	do you think we go one to one here I I
10670s	think so I I think I think uh on this
10673s	next map they do Canada has the
10675s	potential to maybe swap over to secret
10678s	or something maybe that's more up his
10680s	alley right I think noxious obviously
10681s	may have that hero pool where they have
10684s	to play around hit maybe more so than
10686s	Seeker thinks he has that flexibility
10688s	obviously Canada still can decide some
10690s	things on nubani this is a map where you
10692s	still kind of need that Tracer player so
10694s	you do kind of want Seeker to probably
10697s	still play that Tracer however at least
10699s	from the outside looking in I don't know
10701s	if I as like a if I were to analyze this
10704s	decide that Seekers really the play on
10706s	Tracer here compared to the likes of
10707s	sugar-free in and even at times hydrant
10710s	even though he doesn't even hadn't
10711s	played the Tracer here it feels like
10713s	onto Bonnie which is the map we're going
10714s	into it does feel like USA still has the
10717s	edge so I should take it back yeah
10718s	should I actually take it back I think
10719s	it's gonna be a 2-0 for USA here
10720s	honestly just because of oh we've seen
10722s	so far yeah okay Dustin ruling back that
10726s	prediction but we'll see we'll see how
10728s	things do end up panning out here again
10730s	it is Team USA versus Canada right now
10733s	USA up one and oh Justin Moxie take it
10736s	away thank you Ash and uh yeah I kind of
10739s	I kind of thought it through Moxie I
10740s	think that uh you know maybe if it was a
10742s	King's Row you know what I mean but I
10744s	don't know do you agree with me not on
10745s	the mountain like do Bonnie I'm just a
10748s	little bit concerned because we already
10749s	saw that Canada did get Tempo rushed
10752s	over with the Echo and nombani is is
10755s	very much scented point a especially
10757s	around about that Echo play the fact
10760s	that you can go around close you can
10761s	avoid a lot of that poke pressure coming
10763s	through from the defense set up on High
10764s	Ground already and try and drop down to
10766s	either pressure the high grounds and of
10768s	course the Defenders of it allowing your
10770s	rest of your team to be able to move and
10771s	find yourself and overwhelm them or you
10773s	can just go straight to the point itself
10775s	and look at that point percentage but
10777s	Canada is definitely one of their
10778s	favorite Maps when I talked to Cal he
10780s	did say that number was one of the aces
10782s	of the team sleeves so they've got
10785s	something planned UFO on the other hand
10788s	probably you're gonna know that
10790s	something is there's a thought that
10791s	they're going to be running into this
10793s	ash they just have to decide how they're
10794s	going to deal with it yeah this is the
10797s	same I mean I guess it's slightly
10798s	different candidate okay okay there we
10799s	go they're heating they're listening to
10800s	the advanced Monster look noxious on the
10802s	Tracer Seeker on the ash meanwhile USA
10805s	lock in a very similar accomplishment
10806s	that before except fire in the game now
10808s	on Tracer and sugar-free on the echo
10810s	that's what we talked about diaco no
10813s	mercy first however they have enough
10815s	faith in the air for being hard enough
10816s	Target to hit but also having that
10818s	ability to be able to poke pressure in
10820s	both of the stickies and the primaries
10822s	to put Canada out of holding as close as
10825s	they are on this defensive play by the
10827s	line towards a lot more room to breathe
10828s	but good Dynamics can Seeker to full
10830s	sugar-free to keep assistance
10832s	Lenny ain't no you know what you know
10834s	he's he's a great Echo player that could
10836s	play without a mercy pocket unlike you
10839s	know some other regions but doesn't need
10841s	that parking has the rest of his team
10842s	above the hiker we'll see how fast you
10844s	know he decides to back out of there
10845s	obviously playing a bit more Reserve
10846s	than you would like to see other Echo
10848s	players meanwhile espargo's aggressive
10850s	forces Canada off The High Ground that's
10851s	already fantastic for USA who surely
10854s	will take advantage of a noxious has to
10855s	recall still going for that duel very
10857s	aggressive on The High Ground but does
10858s	eventually have to give it up as Team
10860s	USA have control but still not a lot of
10862s	damage comes to glucose incredibly low
10864s	secret tries to a boost back up to the
10866s	High Ground against
10868s	by noxious and the rest of Team Canada
10871s	meanwhile secret really straight no tank
10873s	player so they commit the Nana boost on
10875s	Seeker who was aggressive with it on the
10877s	backline Crimson removed tries to find
10878s	the brigitta and does with that Quick
10881s	Melee in the rest of Canada now Shirley
10883s	will be killed as well in USA control
10885s	win it yeah USA without College can't
10888s	push Canada around that corner even
10890s	further so they're anticipating that
10892s	Canada are going to use the corner to
10893s	regroup and push back onto that point
10895s	and they wait for Canada to meet their
10897s	move until they're too close to be able
10898s	to disengage sugar free then gets the
10900s	Nano and Reigns absolute Death from
10903s	Above and can't just have no means of
10905s	being able to stop at Crimson goes down
10906s	in an absolute blink of the eye doesn't
10908s	have the ability to feel full that the
10910s	Nano Center onto force and keep the
10911s	point stalled and we head into Street
10913s	space as once again kinda have that High
10915s	Ground Control but USA already peeking
10918s	in and trying to take it away the car
10920s	rounds that corner cop still available
10922s	Aspire Hayes Dent pulse bomb ready to go
10925s	goes towards the elephant angle
10926s	meanwhile Canada built up pretty much
10928s	every Ultimate in the game also building
10930s	a NATO but oh my
10932s	what a one clip from Aspire with a bit
10934s	snipe from kaluge as well sugar-free and
10937s	collusion combines Ripple Talon Crimson
10939s	two and USA look like they're not
10941s	slowing down anytime soon so the obvious
10944s	hot evidence of nandani however is that
10946s	uh it's pointy for the defense right
10948s	point a if you can full hold brilliant a
10951s	lot of it is going to come off of Just
10952s	early picks from your DPS Street space
10954s	is all about momentum and Tempo we've
10956s	seen that USA does excel in that matchup
10959s	for Canada it's literally a bipoling
10962s	resources to be able to stop this pilot
10964s	at any time in point C so it stops for
10966s	the rest of the match entirely Inspire
10968s	with the pulse bomb available looks to
10970s	lurk over the top with sugar-free is
10972s	there as well meanwhile Tracer comes to
10974s	duel him has to go for the pulse bomb
10975s	and then the recall but sugar-free on
10977s	the low ground has found Cal on the
10979s	reengage false also loses Mech off to
10981s	not use the diva bomb they're just going
10982s	for a quick team fight uh lost because
10985s	of potentially what you said Moxie does
10986s	go Point C and maybe find some hold here
10989s	yeah but that's where it becomes
10990s	dangerous the dying split but I'm tired
10992s	and again the momentum is going to turn
10994s	against Canada because neither don't get
10996s	that reset moment USA is not allowing
10999s	any Mercy you've come to get an inch
11002s	they're going to take a mile or I guess
11003s	the American equivalent I love Lenny man
11006s	I mean this is just shooting bodies is
11008s	coming out that's how you know we got a
11010s	series on our hand a little bit of bad
11012s	blood in the water noxious over the
11014s	right side does do with Aspire meanwhile
11017s	on the inside USA Waits and lingers for
11019s	their dive balls coming in with that
11021s	Rally from Cal they want to go
11022s	aggressive coach done aggressive from
11024s	Seeker to go towards that mini but the
11025s	shield blocks off crims those made and
11027s	he dates did for multiple they commit
11029s	the Nana boost now on to lose to
11031s	continue this fight even though they're
11032s	still even sugar-free went down earlier
11035s	so Clues now has to find a kill with the
11036s	Primal and the Nano but he's not able to
11038s	he's now Primal raging that Ash but
11041s	unfortunately Seekers can't live however
11042s	that's just one kill with the Primal
11043s	Nano trade false commits the Divine
11045s	because he knows they could potentially
11047s	come back into this and Cal eventually
11048s	finds collage as well a fire drops the
11051s	pull spawn but not two and
11054s	also finds noxious as well so no more
11056s	Tracer but Canada's Got the forward
11058s	spawns USA has committed to committed
11060s	some big ultimates if Canada can build
11062s	up towards this Nano they potentially
11063s	could disagated sugar-free with the
11065s	coffee they need the bomb
11067s	that's what they need at the moments
11068s	they can at least send it on the point
11070s	when USA just push pause holes and move
11072s	on to the background because sugar is
11074s	looking for the coffee who is he gonna
11075s	go for there it is
11086s	the fight
11088s	everybody removed from Team Canada three
11091s	minutes and 10 seconds it just trims out
11092s	to touch who is staying on the Anna
11094s	because he knows it isn't possible even
11096s	swap into the Moira is not a play that
11098s	you're going to be able to do three
11099s	minutes in five seconds for Team USA
11103s	Oh Canada Oh Canada they got rolled and
11107s	smoked my doggies
11110s	I have
11111s	I've seen
11115s	to an enemy support I've seen Atticus
11118s	duplicate mercies to pull off roses I've
11120s	seen enemies Echoes copy losers to be
11123s	able to sign by one that down in numbers
11124s	but that and she needs was devastating
11129s	that antinate broke the entirety of
11133s	Canada's sea defense at all hinges on we
11137s	have faster respawns if we die we're
11138s	going to be able to stagger ourselves
11140s	we'll have the Bob we'll have the Nano
11142s	boost we'll be able to stall for a full
11144s	regroup they go down in one fell swing
11146s	because of that nude
11147s	I mean is it fair to say that Canada's
11149s	looking a bit shell-shocked at points
11151s	right Lenny with that dunk like you said
11154s	on the copy to really just oh my God
11156s	just destroy Canada at the very end this
11158s	is a momentum shift I I told you about
11161s	this on control Canada just every single
11163s	time they started being played from
11165s	behind they were never able to find that
11168s	moment where they were able to regroup
11169s	and mentally reset and USA they
11172s	identified that one weakness and they
11174s	pushed
11175s	pushed hard man I it's really that's
11178s	that's all we can say that's all you can
11180s	say like they got wrong historically
11187s	as they literally just full pushed with
11188s	three minutes and five seconds on the
11189s	bank Canada they've got the dive falls
11192s	on the diva is absolutely no stranger to
11194s	being able to clutch things out for his
11196s	team if they're able to overwhelm you
11198s	with saying plush 3.8 incredibly quickly
11201s	they can set up some momentum they can
11203s	have the same turnaround that USA had
11205s	when they were able to break
11207s	you know what team Canada's problem is
11208s	they don't have World Cup MVP xqc on the
11212s	roster Caldo is able to find RuPaul and
11215s	UltraViolet aggressive could we go play
11217s	to get those two opening shots and false
11219s	is there to find a spider and that was a
11222s	clean take from Canada maybe now it's uh
11225s	this is their opportunity that kirika
11227s	was doing work those Kunis do so much
11229s	damage but more importantly if you get
11230s	jumped on by either sugar free or to
11232s	lose you have the ability to be able to
11234s	survive yourself with the studio and the
11235s	Swift set Encounter of just prioritizing
11238s	support staying alive not getting early
11239s	picks so that USA can't find the numbers
11241s	momentum that they had the previous one
11244s	USA now regroups towards this point
11246s	aggressive play on to Cal and options in
11248s	the back line but an intro didn't forces
11250s	him to jump out though they are still
11252s	stopped from capping out this point
11254s	Canada is not just trying to take the
11256s	door with sugar-free but sugarfree is
11257s	well aware he might have that mechanical
11259s	Edge and Rupal also gets rid of sugar
11261s	for or gets her to seeker and sugar-free
11262s	takes out nauseous Caldo does trade back
11265s	Aspire but it might be too little too
11267s	late they don't have any assistance here
11269s	in Team USA well they do nanoboost
11271s	pre-engage Canada does on the false and
11273s	the pulse bumps are pretty committed No
11275s	Sleep dark hit four Crimson also Canada
11278s	really wants to win here and now even
11280s	though they're down in terms of numbers
11282s	false half the deepamy lost to next
11284s	there and they're not able to find these
11286s	kills just yet USA are still strong
11288s	still healthy on the point that commit
11290s	colusa's Primal Rage noxious though what
11293s	a pulse bomb onto the enemy Tracer of
11295s	sugar-free that's what you needed to
11297s	finally capture on his point though
11298s	Rupal does trade it back luge is still
11300s	alive and healthy though false
11302s	eventually will chase down RuPaul
11303s	eventually League Blues comes back to
11305s	the point but he's taken out by his
11307s	sleep Dart from primzo and although it
11309s	was messy Canada will finally take point
11311s	a Canada were just too Spooks by that
11314s	chance of having to entirely reapproach
11316s	the point in you and lose players on
11318s	those rotations before the fights begin
11320s	and they throw ultimates in but it
11323s	guarantees them that point it allows
11325s	themselves to have more time to push
11327s	into streets to take away some of this
11328s	High Ground poke face coming through
11330s	from the USA since secret is going to be
11332s	set up with that Bob as well to be able
11333s	to peel from the aggression that comes
11335s	through and finally they can start
11337s	pushing into streets and see a little
11339s	bit more of nandani
11348s	looking for that back line over the top
11351s	kalush gets naded on the front of that
11353s	cart as well so he has to back up to the
11354s	rest of his team a lot of cart space
11356s	given now to Seeker who is pushing that
11358s	payload with the rest of his team that
11360s	got that Nano engaged the candidate
11362s	wants it but they're just taking this
11363s	free card space ready to disengage USA's
11366s	dive which is surely coming in just a
11368s	moment there it is goes deep already
11369s	towards that side of the snap shoot no
11372s	kills just dead he's also answering it
11374s	in his chase down but he backs up now
11375s	the bomb coming in from the fire secret
11377s	as well
11385s	has continued USA's dominance in the
11388s	kill Department tell us trying to
11390s	equalize it but he cannot stop Lenny
11391s	time like it called it earlier that's a
11393s	3K for sugar-free that postponed it more
11396s	than pick up the 2K cancels none of this
11399s	as well it's the classic you go for the
11402s	Anna if you go for another squishy the
11404s	kirikou could Swift stuff from suzu
11406s	Crimson can just none of them go for the
11408s	Anna you can't none of yourself it's not
11410s	solo death match and in doing so Canada
11412s	groups up they try and get in distance
11414s	to be able to see zoo and Crimson goes
11416s	down alongside and you will play again
11419s	without momentum do you have to pull
11420s	back a little bit good ant you need to
11422s	hit someone to kill who's incredibly low
11424s	you have to regroup back to his team but
11426s	all that does is just supercharge
11427s	ultraviolet and Ruffles ultimate economy
11431s	is this kind of just trying to push the
11433s	payload and get any more time any
11435s	distance without having stuff off with
11438s	corn lemon sugar-free
11440s	it was an aid to from across the map
11443s	ultraviolet connected two meters and 69
11446s	or 2.69 meters left to go see the bomb
11449s	from Falls committed to try to Zone to
11451s	make sure the cap shot that payload with
11452s	the katuna runs but unfortunately no not
11454s	enough follow-up damage there towards
11456s	collusion who is touching that payload
11459s	USA will stop you gotta get another
11460s	Canada push
11461s	pretty close
11469s	to all going to have to fully reapproach
11472s	that objective into USA now I get the
11474s	time to be able to set up the size once
11477s	again onto Canada's Left Behind backline
11481s	obnoxious isn't getting too aggress he's
11483s	having this Mark sugar-free location and
11486s	call it out to the team it's constantly
11488s	doing with that Tracer so you can now
11489s	Dove upon buy that Nana boost the
11491s	Winston is all alone now here Doug have
11493s	some support from the kariko but it's
11494s	not enough to say even from kaluge with
11496s	that Nana boost gets two in that fight
11498s	with the help of sugar Freight and Ultra
11500s	false did trade back Aspire but not
11502s	enough healing is available at the
11504s	moment for Canada and not enough
11506s	manpower actually as they regroup yet
11510s	again's gonna have a ball but as far as
11512s	gonna have one pretty soon as well to be
11514s	able to peel for us pulse has been fined
11515s	all right good sleep onto collage
11517s	however but they're not able to
11518s	translate it into a killer sugar-free
11520s	still not allowing not to fall okay they
11523s	go for the mini though so stole that
11524s	from sugar-free however he does have
11525s	come back oh my God the pulse bomb
11527s	sticky but sugar-free had that recall
11529s	still able to go and we'll travel was
11532s	there to peel off noxious I mean his
11534s	back line of ultraviolet and RuPaul has
11536s	truly been amazing that sleep dark
11538s	consistently multiple are there and they
11540s	want to continue the pressure they're
11542s	running it onto Canada at the moment who
11544s	are desperately trying to live false
11546s	trying to back off from RuPaul who is
11548s	pretty much all of the way and Canada's
11551s	spawn Crimson tries to go for the Sleep
11552s	turn but cannot connect now there's 20
11554s	seconds left to go for Canada at USA
11557s	just making sure that Canada doesn't get
11558s	the ability to be able to use this back
11560s	capture sugar-free that pulse bomb is
11562s	looking for an end into that backline
11564s	and kind of has one good shot left at
11566s	this next fight yeah they go from that
11568s	dive already to lose on the top of the
11569s	bus Bob is here though like you said
11571s	positive trigger freeze engage makes him
11573s	back up live an awkward angle for him
11575s	Clues now decides the backup also the
11577s	Nana Booth who's committed from Falls to
11579s	Tempo is there for Canada they're
11581s	continuing this push forward but Aspire
11583s	dies to Bob the equivalence of Corbin
11586s	current removes him in ultimate form and
11588s	the boss gets more that's the way K in
11590s	the overtime takes down USA stop Canada
11593s	and get the 2-0 victory oh my God USA
11597s	look good as hell
11599s	stocks very very much on the rise the
11601s	Team USA that entire last fight is just
11605s	an absolute highlight reel the tragedy
11607s	is that everyone has to go into the Bob
11609s	and Crimson the one person who could
11612s	maybe keep them healed up in the face of
11614s	it is being Kate capped by sugar-free
11616s	all the way in the back line and no one
11618s	can feel for him because if they peel
11620s	for the honor they lose off of not
11622s	tapping the objective and that just
11624s	Falls to throw themselves directly into
11626s	that Minefield that is just so much
11628s	damage coming through from Team USA we
11630s	were concerned when we saw that nombani
11632s	pick but uh we were concerned for the
11634s	wrong Team USA looked absolutely
11636s	Unstoppable oh they did I mean it was a
11638s	2-0 for them and uh we'll bring back our
11641s	host Ange to kind of let's let's dissect
11643s	that a bit hi Ash
11649s	I'm Canadian
11652s	this stings a little bit right now but
11655s	overall USA and just a beautiful showing
11659s	from them it's undeniable the Synergy
11662s	that they've had I think that also just
11664s	looking at this roster you have Duos
11666s	together who play on Toronto defiant
11668s	together on Vancouver Titans together
11670s	and I think that does add that layer of
11672s	synergy that team Canada unfortunately
11675s	just didn't have while they have
11677s	star-studded players there Moxie they're
11679s	all picked off from different uh star
11681s	stud teams yeah and it's got to sing
11684s	just a little bit harder because one of
11686s	those players who watches coming in with
11688s	those struggle picks and just continuing
11690s	to push sugar for you some of those
11692s	players have literally played alongside
11695s	on the same team and that goes both ways
11697s	when you're playing against someone who
11699s	you normally play with on a team they
11701s	know exactly how you operate and
11702s	unfortunately for support players they
11705s	know how you position something that
11706s	sugar-free continue to take full
11708s	advantage of because every single time
11710s	we saw him noxious wasn't getting too
11712s	aggress into that backline he was having
11715s	to make sure the sugar-free didn't get
11716s	fast and when that one obstacle fell it
11719s	was hunting season for crimslow's head
11721s	yeah it's definitely tough and then when
11723s	you flip it over towards the Team USA
11725s	side as well the picks coming out from
11727s	RuPaul and UV being the break and the
11731s	Anna it's really nice because RuPaul
11733s	allows that additional appeal playing
11735s	towards that back line as well alongside
11737s	UV to just enable him with those sleeps
11740s	that you kept calling out there um
11743s	yeah yeah I think that like yeah
11745s	ultraviolet played really well RuPaul is
11747s	mommy is everybody in USA looked good I
11748s	think it was like the big question for
11750s	USA coming into this was you know how is
11753s	this backline gonna play with uh with
11755s	RuPaul in the lineup instead of you know
11757s	having the likes of OG and uh obviously
11759s	I think they've come out and they've
11761s	been able to you know have RuPaul play
11763s	incredibly aggressive with this front
11764s	line half court then it Dives and um you
11767s	know I think it's good for a team they
11769s	played well especially against a team
11770s	like Canada which bodes well for the
11772s	future but man I I'm really curious to
11774s	see what happens in the later stages of
11776s	this World Cup when USA has to go
11778s	against some of the Elite Talent that
11781s	have those uh incredibly flexible hero
11783s	pools
11785s	down to the side of Team Canada just to
11787s	flip it back over there Moxie I gotta
11789s	know overall what were they lacking
11793s	compared to I guess what we were
11795s	anticipating seeing from them yeah I
11798s	can't like they weren't like lacking
11800s	mechanically a lot of the time it was
11802s	just they got overwhelmed on all angles
11805s	and this is something that actually USA
11807s	did a very good job of they had so much
11809s	coverage like definitely the dive was
11811s	incredibly coordinated yeah but at times
11813s	it didn't feel like what all of those
11815s	players were going after one place
11816s	specifically and for like all of those
11818s	players were going after all of those
11819s	players at the exact same time because
11821s	they had just such a good Monopoly of
11823s	those faces and every single time we saw
11825s	that Canada would get so worried about
11828s	having to reapproach points entirely
11830s	even if they were down players they
11832s	would over commit into fights just to be
11834s	able to buy themselves any bit of
11836s	respite to be able to hold on to that
11838s	ground because the second that they had
11839s	to start taking steps backwards that
11841s	opened the flood gates for USA to just
11844s	search forward from all of those
11846s	different approaches and sweep through
11848s	the team I I pretty much just add on to
11850s	you Maxi I just think that like you know
11852s	it's easy to scapegoat right and uh
11855s	that's why I'm gonna do it I think that
11856s	obviously you know not having it not
11859s	having a good Tracer player is a big
11861s	deal like it feels like both of these
11863s	players both secret noxious are
11864s	incredibly talented Ash players right
11866s	full super good but Max you said it they
11868s	couldn't control those flank angles
11870s	sugar-free just kind of dominated
11871s	noxious or Seeker didn't matter who it
11873s	was and it's not that either of those
11875s	players are bad it might just be that
11877s	Canada's lacking in that Tracer
11879s	Department
11881s	could be could be I man ultraviolet
11885s	coming in with this Team MVP here for
11887s	the side of Team USA absolutely massive
11890s	I think what would be interesting is I
11892s	wish we almost I wish we did have the
11893s	Sleep Dart
11894s	um statistic coming up curious to see
11896s	how many of those actually did end up
11898s	Landing with the amount of impact that
11900s	it had on this matchup but Moxie I guess
11903s	of course Gigi's to Team USA that 2-0
11906s	but for Team Canada you talked about it
11908s	on ilios about how USA were really good
11912s	at just controlling that Tempo how do
11914s	you think Team Canada could move forward
11916s	going on towards the remainder of the
11918s	OverWatch World Cup to kind of take that
11920s	back into their own power so it's
11923s	actually something that dalston brought
11924s	up having that lack of hit scan a lot of
11927s	the time when we were seeing the
11928s	previous matchups when you have
11929s	something like a Hanzo who technically
11931s	isn't his gun he's projectile but still
11932s	having that zoning potential of just
11933s	burst damage DPS Ash can be pretty
11936s	decent at being able to buy yourself
11937s	space for things like dynamites but a
11939s	lot of the time we were seeing that one
11941s	had done right was exhausted everyone
11942s	from USA which is unsung Dynamics we are
11946s	a go and we just press forward as
11949s	opposed to something like the hands or
11951s	what the Cassidy who has that consistent
11953s	damage threat that can immediately just
11955s	grab your head off if you approach an
11957s	angle a little bit wrong and it meant
11959s	that USA never really had anything
11961s	slowing them down they were always able
11963s	to exhaust the cooldowns and then come
11964s	in when they were at full strength and
11966s	their opponent was vulnerable
11968s	but we'll see how kitchen can it is
11971s	going to be able to adapt as the
11972s	OverWatch World Cup does continue on but
11976s	we will have an interview coming up from
11978s	a well we'll see later who the player
11980s	will end up being leave it a bit of a
11982s	surprise for you guys but we are just
11985s	going to say a little bit of a goodbye
11988s	right now and we will be right back on
11990s	the other side of this quick break
12001s	We're not gonna say a quick goodbye yet
12003s	yeah I'm gonna give you guys the four
12005s	really quick to actually say a few final
12007s	words as you guys are saying goodbye for
12009s	the day and we'll see you guys tomorrow
12011s	oh yeah I mean I mean this is gonna be
12013s	it for me mostly on the day it's been a
12015s	pleasure talking to you Ash and watching
12016s	over these games so you know USA
12018s	obviously to get that Victory is a big
12020s	deal for them Moxie and uh we handed to
12023s	OverWatch the whole day huh at least so
12025s	far
12027s	I was I was thinking official we would
12028s	get
12029s	free maps coming
12034s	solvable and that is the big question
12036s	now if they're able to dispatch Canada
12038s	so easily what team is going to be able
12042s	to stand in their path until we see them
12044s	out of these conferences and against
12046s	some of these other teams around the
12048s	world
12049s	well we'll have to stay tuned for that
12052s	because there are a couple more games
12053s	left for today where we will be
12055s	introducing a new set of casters but
12057s	again it's been a pleasure working with
12059s	you guys on the desk Moxie and Dustin
12061s	I'm looking forward to seeing you guys
12062s	tomorrow and everyone at home we will be
12064s	right back

12379s	welcome back everybody we've got
12381s	ultraviolet from Team USA joining us for
12383s	this interview congratulations and GG's
12386s	UV on this W up against Team Canada how
12389s	are you feeling
12391s	oh definitely really good
12394s	okay let's go and I know that this was
12397s	one of the most anticipated matches for
12399s	day one of the OverWatch World Cup here
12401s	for America's
12403s	did you feel like there was any
12404s	additional pressure on the shoulders of
12406s	Team USA for that particular reason
12409s	yeah I think because we have a lot of
12410s	Toronto players and we didn't do very
12412s	good in the regular season a lot of
12414s	people have had their expectations
12416s	lowered of us but I think
12419s	um I'm like really happy with how the
12420s	team has been playing and I'm like copy
12422s	of the people we're playing with but I
12423s	think we're all really good
12425s	I think report especially me and him
12426s	have been working really well together
12428s	like super flexible
12431s	um
12432s	so yeah that's it's been good
12434s	that's awesome well it's it's always
12437s	good to hear and plus you guys like you
12439s	came out very dominant in this matchup
12441s	as well so a way to definitely show the
12444s	haters and prove them wrong in that kind
12446s	of sense
12447s	um but I know I don't want to delve into
12449s	this too too much but I know that there
12451s	were those last minute adjustments
12452s	coming out for the Team USA roster and
12455s	how did your team kind of adapt in that
12457s	kind of way going forward
12459s	well we had our first scrim yesterday
12462s	and
12463s	we weren't on the right Heroes and like
12465s	all these columns I think Team Canada is
12467s	watching but it didn't matter in the end
12470s	sweet well I just want to say as well
12473s	like overall
12474s	is it kind of weird I guess playing up
12476s	against Team Canada considering that you
12479s	are part of the Toronto Divine team
12482s	no not really
12484s	um I mean I'm just from America so I
12486s	like consider myself one Team USA I've
12488s	always wanted to play for Team USA so
12490s	it's really nice to be here
12493s	oh that's sweet that's awesome and um I
12496s	was wondering could you give us a little
12497s	bit of insight on like what what are the
12499s	general Vibes like for this team in the
12501s	comms for the calling and whatnot are
12504s	you guys more so kind of clear calm
12506s	collected or do things get pretty darn
12509s	chaotic
12511s	I think things can get pretty chaotic
12513s	because we're all like from a bunch of
12515s	different alcohol teams we all have
12516s	different structures and so like we
12518s	haven't had much time to like figure out
12519s	a structure that like
12521s	our team wants to adopt so it's been a
12523s	lot of like
12525s	inflicting like Styles but I think we've
12527s	been adapting to it pretty well yeah
12529s	kind of just going for the flow it
12531s	definitely seems like it's working out
12533s	really well and whatnot but um as far as
12536s	it goes what your team really did well I
12539s	think that stood out to everyone was
12540s	just your ability to generally control
12542s	that Tempo and team can they definitely
12545s	struggled to respond to that would you
12548s	be able to maybe like walk me through a
12549s	little bit how that kind of pans out for
12551s	your team maybe the weaknesses that you
12553s	were looking to pick apart
12556s	oh I think we just have like a really
12558s	good understanding of the meta we're
12559s	playing the same stuff that like you saw
12561s	in the mid-season Madness yeah so I
12563s	think that like we're all really
12565s	comfortable in this better we know like
12566s	what to do and these certain types of
12568s	things
12569s	uh they threw like a couple weird comps
12570s	like with Diva and stuff but
12574s	yeah I think we're just like all like
12575s	really smart players and we're able to
12577s	adopt
12580s	no that's sick and okay I've gotta ask
12582s	because I know that for Moxie at the
12584s	very least this was like I mean not just
12585s	for Moxie but for for me as well the one
12588s	of the standout plays at least on ilios
12591s	there was or no sorry not on Alias the
12594s	earlier part of numbani was the
12596s	sugar-free Echo copying into the Anna
12600s	into the anti-nade what was everyone's
12603s	kind of reaction I guess when that play
12605s	did come through
12606s	I think we I remember a specific fight
12609s	but I think we called that before it has
12611s	like a plan so really I mean okay yeah
12614s	it's sick
12615s	yeah this is really really cool oh no I
12617s	don't know exactly how I went down
12618s	because I'm just like in the back line
12619s	of free qualifying for my life but I'm
12621s	sure that went good
12622s	no I mean you and RuPaul make a good Duo
12625s	back there too especially when he's on
12626s	that being able to peel for you as well
12628s	and your sleeps are just going crazy
12629s	today overall but um before we do go I
12633s	also want to give you the floor to give
12634s	that opportunity to say any like thank
12636s	yous or shout outs
12638s	um to anyone who might be watching
12642s	um thinking about my family friends and
12644s	all the fans supporters appreciate it
12646s	and keep cheering us on
12650s	the time to do this interview and
12652s	whatnot really appreciated it but
12655s	um we are going to do a quick break as
12658s	well before we head into these next
12660s	matches so we're going to say goodbye to
12661s	ultraviolet wish you luck and Gigi's
12664s	into your next matches and we will be
12666s	back on the other side of this quick

12999s	welcome back everybody for the remainder
13002s	of America's group a I'm your host Ash
13005s	and we've got some fresh new casters on
13008s	the desk I've got Gompers and Chef Billy
13010s	with me Billy how are you doing oh Milo
13014s	and I am so excited to be here I have
13016s	been waiting for this moment ever since
13017s	I saw the for me the first OverWatch
13019s	World Cup back in 2018 this has been a
13021s	dream for so many years now and it's
13024s	just an honor to be here plus I get to
13026s	cast Latin American teams which just
13027s	makes it even better because the spice
13029s	level is up the socials have been crazy
13032s	going between these teams they've been
13033s	kind of calling each other up definitely
13035s	looking for the fireworks to start oh
13037s	you absolutely love to hear the banter
13039s	going off on those socials and Gompers I
13042s	gotta get your feelings as well welcome
13044s	to the desk here for the OverWatch world
13046s	cup ah thank you so much honestly kind
13049s	of uh what Billy said I'm excited as
13051s	well we're coming into a more of the
13054s	Latin region which I I listen I'm a
13056s	Hispanic myself so being able to sit
13058s	here and kind of watch the these teams
13060s	and represent that that origin of uh
13063s	pretty much my own nature I guess you
13065s	can say is uh exciting in itself
13067s	absolutely love to hear it The Vibes are
13070s	high here for the remainder of the day
13072s	here in America's for the OverWatch
13075s	World Cup and as you all know we've got
13078s	Costa Rica versus Mexico coming up into
13081s	this best of three series Billy I've got
13084s	to get your thoughts on these teams I
13086s	mean look let's be completely honest
13088s	with each other here the the third spot
13091s	is what's up for grabster between Canada
13093s	and the United States they should go uh
13096s	one or two though based upon uh Nikita
13098s	Canada I mean they uh they kind of uh
13101s	pooped the bed there if I could have
13102s	gotta be completely honest they got
13103s	smoked by Team USA so kind of a little
13106s	bit up in the air for me
13108s	um Mexico on paper looks great uh
13111s	looking at how they got here looking you
13113s	know through the trials process and
13114s	everything like that I think they're
13115s	very sturdy especially being led by Nomi
13118s	uh formerly of shock and Montreal
13120s	Rebellion uh the academy team back in
13122s	the day so I I think that they've got on
13124s	paper they've got the structure uh
13127s	they've got the the players uh I'm
13129s	looking for uh Castle uh really for me
13132s	to lead the charge uh and then Momo uh
13135s	had played on back in uh 2020 with dark
13137s	mode n a with pedals so I think that
13140s	you've got a lot of building blocks here
13142s	uh for Mexico and then you know I think
13145s	that the only other real Challenger to
13146s	them uh would be uh the team from uh
13150s	from Puerto Rico and that'll be in our
13151s	in our sec in our last series of the
13153s	night but for Costa Rica I mean these
13156s	players have been playing with each
13158s	other since 2021 they've done a lot of
13160s	Zotac cup together
13162s	um you know we're looking he's actually
13164s	a professional chef like I am no so I
13167s	mean I've had that out uh talking uh to
13169s	their social media manager today uh also
13171s	a professional chef and also loves
13172s	OverWatch what a great combination Bobby
13174s	was actually my favorite in person right
13176s	now uh but you know what uh also
13179s	participated back in the 2016 OverWatch
13181s	World Cup so we have some pedigree got
13183s	some some senior leadership there uh in
13185s	in the DPS position for coming from Batu
13188s	but for these members uh are getting a
13191s	chance to uh go to college uh they're
13193s	actually uh auditioning or trying out uh
13196s	for Briarcliff University to go into the
13199s	Collegiate scene coming up in the fall
13201s	semester so good luck to them already so
13203s	the synergies built in the framework is
13206s	there as well so Costa Rica might be
13208s	able to uh really bring out something
13210s	special here up against this Mexican
13211s	Squad yeah wow okay really great
13214s	information there Billy especially just
13216s	knowing that Synergy is there available
13218s	here for this Costa Rican Squad and then
13220s	on top of that that's also weight on
13222s	their show Builders though knowing that
13224s	they are looking to make that push into
13226s	Collegiate but hopefully baru will be
13229s	able to kind of round them out keep that
13231s	mental high and whatnot with his
13233s	veteranship but now looking over as we
13236s	introduce the Mexican Squad here for the
13238s	OverWatch World Cup Gompers why don't
13241s	you just tell me a little bit about them
13242s	honestly for for Mexico this is a team
13245s	that has been playing together for uh
13247s	quite some time you can say Paulette
13249s	actually having a relationship not like
13250s	a romantic relationship or so like a Duo
13255s	relationship with Angel lados so this
13258s	team in particular right is the team
13260s	that obviously kind of has that same
13262s	Synergy leading into what Puerto Rico
13264s	has so when you're looking at these two
13266s	teams and you're looking at what exactly
13267s	they have to offer you can see that yeah
13269s	there is kind of like that
13270s	correspondence there a big thing is of
13272s	course uh what exactly can this team
13275s	accomplish I think Angel villado
13276s	actually watching him play he played
13278s	against actually this team in a
13280s	tournament not so long ago and they had
13283s	some of that rivalry there on that DPS I
13286s	think he's gonna I think he's gonna fit
13287s	into this team very very well nice okay
13290s	we got a little bit of head-to-head
13291s	rival reaction going but speaking of the
13295s	action we've already got our map select
13297s	up here right Legion Tower gonna be the
13299s	first one slotting in for map number one
13301s	Chef Billy what are your thoughts on
13302s	this map I mean three different three
13304s	different uh areas of of aggression here
13308s	uh I mean Gardens is more of a dive in
13310s	control the point and let the aggression
13312s	come to you
13314s	um night market look symmetra rules
13316s	there but also Farah Pharmacy combo or
13319s	e-commercey as I call uh the echo Mercy
13322s	uh combo the flying Duo up there
13326s	um you know controlling the skies there
13328s	if you decide to go that route
13329s	um you take away a little bit of a
13332s	little bit of the extra healing but you
13334s	know what we've seen from yazan
13335s	especially earlier today at emec uh if
13338s	you got a A pharah or an echo player
13340s	that can take over a map uh I mean both
13344s	Gardens and Night Market are going to
13345s	lean heavily into your favor now when we
13347s	look at control center
13349s	um if you are a brawl team if you are a
13351s	rush team that is your bread and butter
13353s	and you should win that out pretty uh
13355s	dramatically uh Reinhardt can be viable
13358s	however I think orisa uh the diva and
13362s	the uh and the uh and the ramatra are
13365s	the three tanks that you should be
13366s	seeing here so we'll see we'll see how
13368s	it goes well it won't take too much
13371s	longer because I'm gonna actually send
13373s	you Chef Billy and Gompers off into the
13376s	server and onto lijiang Tower
13379s	all right all right thank you so much as
13382s	Chef Billy I know you were ready you
13384s	said you were ready I'm ready as well
13385s	heading into this game I can hear that
13388s	chuckle I know I know we are ready for
13389s	this I'm expecting a for Mercy I'm
13391s	actually hoping that we get to see that
13393s	here it's very very strong for the
13395s	amount of uh obviously obstacles that
13397s	we're gonna be able to see here on the
13398s	Jean Tower it's control a game of
13400s	control so what better way to do that
13402s	but it does seem like we're actually
13403s	going to see some of that hack do fist
13405s	here coming along I mean hack fist can
13408s	work uh and I haven't seen this uh here
13410s	in in the upper echelons of competition
13412s	for quite some time I saw a little bit
13415s	of it uh in uh Australian contenders uh
13418s	where they were trying to do something a
13420s	little bit different but uh I think I
13422s	think I'd have a lot of here on the
13424s	symmetra to get yourself to the point uh
13426s	first and set up those turrets here on
13428s	my market I think this is where we
13430s	really do get to take a look at I mean
13431s	Gardens you know you can do the same
13433s	thing here on Gardens you can set up the
13434s	turrets and get the aggression going and
13437s	I mean with Castle on the Winston right
13439s	now uh you're able to dive in you're
13441s	able to Bubble you're able to you know
13442s	extend a fight with the Winston so this
13444s	is what we're looking at with the ruts
13445s	coming in from Costa Rica yeah the rest
13448s	are already getting big as well you can
13449s	see they're looking for some of that
13451s	control leading around it not able to
13453s	find it though when it comes to Mexico
13455s	still though actually pushed back
13456s	instead you can see actually the
13458s	composition there with the May bringing
13460s	up that wall about now being able to
13461s	allow that to isolate these players one
13463s	by one yeah Mexico and a good start and
13465s	he came a leader from codelo there on
13467s	the uh on the May putting a great wall
13469s	up there uh and well that's gonna be a
13472s	quick reset here from a team Mexico
13474s	looks like they're going to change up
13475s	their composition yet they're going away
13476s	from the dive uh even though Toby Lux is
13479s	uh 65 to EMP so I think that they've
13481s	stayed with the uh summer here really
13483s	try to control web tube or maybe uh
13487s	hodelo on the May uh yeah you know deny
13489s	the wall deny the ice block and then
13491s	moving from there if he's gonna be big
13492s	for this next fight for Mexico oh when
13495s	it's good as well you can see the
13496s	cilantro switch actually making some of
13498s	these numbers count now is still though
13499s	making some damage work it's not gonna
13501s	happen quick enough with now this close
13504s	range damage actually coming along as
13505s	well you can see it's making that pinch
13507s	that they really need to make but
13509s	unfortunately so you see the main you
13510s	see the slows coming down now choba
13512s	looks with a very nice shot leading on
13514s	to win enter there they lose that damage
13517s	and it's gonna be a beautiful play
13518s	coming down from Mexico they gain that
13520s	control back it's just the romantra left
13522s	but baru of course no healing left to
13524s	really help themselves yeah they're
13525s	gonna be taken down in a second I mean
13527s	what a great EMP from Toby luxon I mean
13530s	33 so a third of the way to the next one
13532s	and now they're gonna press forward and
13534s	try to deny space taking they're also
13535s	going to get some scouting done but
13537s	hodela right now with the uh with the
13539s	blizzard coming up at a beat behind it
13541s	uh they should be able to initiate if
13543s	they rotate through white room though I
13545s	think that they're going to be met with
13546s	a very very strong Hammer coming from
13549s	the Twin support ultimates from Momo and
13551s	soba
13553s	oh they're waiting you can see what
13556s	Angel a lot of wants to do he wants to
13557s	go across the back line still now
13560s	utilizing his ultimate to try to get
13561s	themselves up closer and they're playing
13564s	a very very dirty game when you're
13565s	looking at Mexico but they're also
13567s	losing that point the contests still
13569s	their remontra left alone again but it's
13572s	impossible at this point that switch
13573s	they made all the way in the beginning
13574s	here really working out for Mexico I
13577s	mean winter hasn't gotten much done on
13578s	the reaper or Costa Rica so I mean they
13581s	do hold on to the sound bear that's the
13583s	big kicker for them and they've got
13585s	Annihilation so Annihilation via
13586s	Annihilation uh beat versus beat uh the
13589s	the real kicker here though is going to
13591s	be the death Blossom coming out of
13592s	winter winter needs to be sneaky and
13594s	it's got to avoid the uh the serving eye
13597s	of trouble boxer on the cell ground
13600s	uh Todd's still actually coming through
13602s	right now as you see it still not enough
13605s	Firepower when it comes to Costa Rica
13606s	making some of that damage and making a
13608s	knock off here coming through from
13609s	castles but it's not enough it's
13611s	difficult to try to arrange that in tons
13614s	and tons of players now pushing out the
13616s	ultimate here winter gets one shot off
13618s	the tank and now they can actually push
13620s	this back a beautiful plate coming
13621s	through that's when you know that
13623s	Synergy from Costa Rica really is going
13625s	to lead them on I mean Toby Lux hacked
13627s	uh hacked winter twice before they were
13629s	actually able to get the Q off so I mean
13631s	tobylock's new uh the alt tracking is
13633s	absolutely real right now
13636s	I mean they knew they knew that winter
13639s	had it I mean there's the limited to
13640s	only one kill that is fantastic from
13642s	from them now if you've got the EMP into
13644s	this next fight nothing to back it up
13647s	say nothing to back it up I I mean
13649s	that's most likely so right now
13651s	unfortunately yeah although Flex
13653s	actually manages to find damage listen
13655s	everything works out for a reason I
13657s	guess the reason is right now this team
13658s	is just Unstoppable the aim just the
13661s	pure resilience coming through and
13663s	obviously you see the ultimate again
13665s	might be possible for Angel villado
13669s	well I I think that they'll absolutely
13671s	get close to it uh depends on what kind
13673s	of value they get out of the Hellfire
13674s	shotguns the big thing is that web tube
13676s	is going to get account coalescence into
13677s	this fight it should be the fight Turner
13679s	and then you're looking at a blizzard
13681s	coming from hodelo so that's where I'm
13683s	looking at this is how this next fight
13684s	should go
13687s	there's a half right now again Reaper
13689s	pulling it back out wow that's blossom
13692s	still now moving forward of course it is
13695s	enough to keep themselves intact here
13697s	for Mexico that was big right there
13700s	honestly there were Mantra coming
13701s	through and being able to play that
13702s	alongside the reaper and the the song
13706s	bro I I feel like that did work out in a
13709s	way where I didn't think it would
13711s	I mean we called it the zombie con back
13713s	in the day uh when it was 6v6 uh you
13715s	know Running With The Reaper and then
13716s	Sombra you go to hack in then you steal
13718s	their life away with the uh with the
13720s	reaper and I mean you're kind of running
13721s	a variation of that here with the uh
13724s	with the remotra going in especially
13725s	with the Nemesis form being able to
13726s	block or at least absorb the damage
13728s	coming in it almost makes it a free uh
13731s	death blossom in there for Angel balado
13733s	so yeah but I mean they played it
13736s	perfectly and the fact that once again
13737s	Toby Lux was so smart with the manual
13740s	hacks immediately hacks web tube out you
13743s	can't build the coalescence and they
13744s	actually get the kill on the end of it
13748s	kill so quite honestly it's not looking
13750s	so good right now I like the symmetra
13752s	switch I think this is going to be
13753s	something that really does create that
13754s	fold here especially as we switch over
13756s	to a different map
13758s	I'm looking like numbers are starting to
13760s	count for something the shields though
13762s	coming through from the vermontra again
13764s	gonna be a very very big cause as to why
13766s	the steam cannot come through luckily
13768s	enough okay the switch coming through
13770s	Castle figuring out a way to make
13772s	themselves work out even better they may
13774s	not work it out so well though as that
13776s	Shield is kind of disrupting that
13778s	momentum but I'm hoping that this brawl
13780s	type of composition is going to work out
13781s	better as they continue alongside you
13783s	see the Wall come up it's not covering
13784s	much but they're still trying to make
13786s	their way in castles not even hitting
13788s	the shots as it goes by four but you're
13790s	able to see the more or start to pull
13791s	out the stops and the damage is the
13794s	cohesion here before this team Mexico
13796s	now making themselves go on that side on
13799s	that point I mean just the sheer
13801s	aggression they pushed in on sopas uh uh
13805s	beat or on the amp speed coming in uh
13808s	and just blew past baru's Shield they
13811s	had nothing on the back of it uh chubby
13813s	like still getting work done I mean the
13814s	walls were good I mean Castle tried to
13817s	bring out the Reinhardt
13824s	we're gonna start with annihilation
13827s	I'm actually doing a good job as well
13829s	so allowing shovel X to utilize their
13832s	own util as well push themselves on you
13834s	see the way that it works out it
13836s	actually transfers ownership here to
13837s	Costa Rica now the point against still
13839s	being fought forth the biggest ideal
13841s	right now would be to maybe use for
13843s	matcha's ultimate here try to push out
13845s	that Annihilation once more for Castle
13847s	than it is going to happen right now
13849s	pushing themselves up forward even more
13851s	and again playing with the team lots of
13853s	players sitting around that back line
13854s	see that DPS doing their job I mean they
13857s	really did kite well uh from the initial
13859s	uh flop of the point and then uh you
13862s	know question tries to push back in on
13864s	Tempo and they just get annihilated
13866s	there through uh through Castle's
13868s	Annihilation uh so I'm looking right now
13870s	from Costa Rica winter the the reaper is
13874s	not getting the job done right now
13875s	you're not chunking down Castle enough
13877s	you're not going after Toby Lux and
13879s	making them forced the cooldowns out of
13881s	the May that's the other reason why you
13882s	run this Reaper is because you can choke
13884s	yourself down and have such good
13885s	self-presentation wow and the TP great
13888s	amazing anything and that death Blossom
13892s	was the winner of that for Costa Rica if
13894s	they can keep this together it was
13895s	Winter that held this team down I mean
13898s	winter I mean finally we got the value
13899s	that we needed uh out of it and it was
13901s	because they invested the sound barrier
13903s	into the death Blossom so uh sturdy I
13905s	mean almost unkillable at that point but
13908s	Mexico do have uh some initiation coming
13910s	with uh if they get aggressive with this
13912s	coalescence I think that they have the
13913s	opportunity to turn it around I'll have
13915s	volatile onto the Hanzo we saw in a
13917s	couple of matches now that one shot
13919s	potential that's what we're looking for
13920s	yeah trying to spam something down there
13922s	maybe some damage if anything they know
13924s	a headshot is one tap so maybe that's
13925s	all they need right now the shield again
13927s	making things very difficult Castle's
13929s	going through the other side still
13930s	trying to utilize some of their
13931s	utilities here you can see it
13933s	it's not working out so well but with
13936s	the Hanzo coming along down the
13937s	sidelines Lotto with a nice shot yep
13940s	it's working out perfectly for the steam
13942s	the Hanzo switch here uh making some
13944s	good numbers work
13946s	I mean great game awareness uh you know
13948s	that you need to be able to poke a
13949s	little bit better uh you know in the one
13951s	shot potential of course can turn the
13953s	team fight and I mean I have a lot of
13954s	right now is uh showing us that not only
13956s	can they play the flex zps they can also
13958s	play the sniper and that's gonna be uh
13960s	that's gonna be a thorn in the back of
13962s	Costa Rica's mind as they start to push
13963s	through the rest of the series already
13965s	70 to Dragon strike and you've got
13967s	Vivint
13969s	oh even now push themselves down into a
13972s	hole right now kind of just funneling up
13975s	inside of this building looks lucky and
13977s	luckily enough playing on that may they
13979s	give themselves a bit more time to keep
13981s	themselves together with 90 left and now
13983s	they're actually pushing that spawn side
13985s	it's gonna be super difficult to come
13986s	back from this you can bet that Costa
13989s	Rica right now are in a very bad
13990s	position I mean two percent the touch no
13993s	otherwise I'm gonna be able to touch
13995s	here so they waited they waited way too
13997s	long to get themselves back uh into
13999s	fighting Foreman I think for me right
14001s	now Gompers is the fact that uh Mexico
14005s	really uh was more adaptive uh when we
14009s	saw compositions come out they saw that
14011s	something wasn't going to work they
14012s	immediately swap over uh they
14013s	immediately go for counters uh and we
14016s	were seeing a little bit more rigidity
14018s	coming out from Costa Rica so I I think
14020s	for I think for Costa Rica right now
14022s	they need to change they need it they
14024s	need to change so
14027s	yeah indeed uh Ash uh we're gonna bring
14030s	her back as well so she can question us
14032s	because I love being questioned and
14033s	interrogated so
14035s	whoa
14037s	whoa real intense dear God Burgers I
14040s	mean I barely have two princess left
14042s	after it's been a long day it's been a
14044s	long day okay you get a fresh look
14046s	coming into this broadcast but you're
14049s	you're already putting a lot of pressure
14050s	onto my shoulders you're almost making
14053s	me want to pop quiz you but I don't
14054s	think that would be fun for us
14056s	yeah
14058s	but what a showing coming out from Team
14061s	Mexico I mean it's really I think
14064s	interesting to see because for this
14066s	Mexican team you've got players but sure
14068s	have been around but aren't super well
14071s	known and this is a great opportunity
14074s	for them Chef Billy to actually be at
14077s	the Forefront to be players to be
14079s	scouted like you were even talking about
14081s	yeah I mean a Paulette is the is the
14083s	first one that brings to mind just like
14084s	going for said I actually had a chance
14085s	to see them a couple weekends ago with
14087s	the Timeless Creator cup uh playing for
14090s	team uh Ruben sarcasm and also in
14092s	calling all heroes I got a chance to
14094s	cast them and calling all heroes as well
14096s	so
14097s	um I mean this is a this is a support
14098s	player that definitely needs to be on a
14100s	lot of tier two uh contenders teams uh
14103s	radar because they do have the value
14104s	they I mean they showed it time and time
14106s	again here uh so I mean we'll see when
14108s	if they do come in here for the next map
14110s	uh if they're if they can bring their uh
14112s	if they can bring their Wares to to Bear
14114s	here uh on the second map but I mean
14117s	Mexico right now they they just they
14119s	just had a better understanding of their
14120s	win conditions they were able to swap
14122s	their compositions up on the Fly and uh
14126s	they just really took advantage of the
14128s	rigidity of Costa Rica I think that
14129s	Costa Rica need to be able to do the
14131s	same thing they have to be able to swap
14133s	uh encounter what is being thrown at
14135s	them so I mean it's a chess game
14136s	OverWatch is more of a chess game than
14139s	ever and I mean I have a lot of the
14141s	reaper just got it done uh this DPS
14144s	player should also be on people's Radars
14146s	because the swap between a Reaper and a
14147s	Hanzo is not that easy because you've
14149s	got the spray of the Hellfire shotguns
14151s	and then the Precision of the stormbow
14153s	and just a master class just a master
14156s	class it's a totally different style
14157s	right of play when it comes down to
14159s	those damage picks overall and golfers
14162s	it you know Chef Billy keeps doubting
14164s	about how Costa Rica were struggling to
14166s	make those adaptations coming through
14168s	especially with those team compositions
14170s	overall do you think this team maybe has
14173s	what it takes to implement that going
14175s	into this second match because it's just
14178s	the best of three at the end of the day
14179s	I think there is a possibility there I
14182s	did feel like we got to see a little bit
14184s	of a change in play style coming through
14186s	from them but not necessarily you know
14188s	we can't not those composition switches
14190s	that really would have push them that
14191s	extra mile further and again change
14193s	isn't necessarily the best feeling for a
14196s	lot of people but I do think especially
14197s	in Puerto Rico they have obviously you
14201s	know pushed themselves up to this point
14202s	to be able to make it down inside of
14204s	this qualifier stage so I I do believe
14206s	that they can do it but right now Mexico
14208s	looking very solid with job Lux with
14211s	you're looking at Angel volado right
14213s	these players in particular were the
14215s	ones that really push the steam further
14217s	we're gonna be really interested to see
14219s	how Mexico also like faces up against
14221s	teams like Team USA team Canada as the
14224s	group stage does continue on within the
14226s	round robin as everyone gets that chance
14228s	to play against each other right but
14229s	Billy I want you to talk a little bit
14231s	about the impact that castle did have on
14234s	this ramatra pick because he was just so
14237s	strong at controlling the environment
14240s	well I think there was Mo I I think that
14242s	you know while while we do have Vermont
14244s	or castled here on the screen I think
14245s	that Momo and sofa is the reason why uh
14249s	that the castle was able to get so much
14250s	done the support was absolutely
14252s	impeccable uh the rotation of cooldowns
14255s	going into the ramatry and then the
14257s	proper use of Nemesis form knowing when
14259s	you know they were going in for let's
14261s	say that that uh that Blossom that we
14263s	saw on have a lot of do uh inside of
14265s	white room they put up the Nemesis form
14267s	to deny any kind of damage coming into
14269s	their Reaper the reaper stands behind
14271s	the Nemesis block and they just have a
14273s	free Blossom that is the micro that you
14276s	need to be seeing uh to push Propel
14278s	yourself for so the complete
14279s	understanding of how they want to run
14280s	this quote unquote zombie comp right now
14283s	they that was the perfect cross section
14285s	of why they worked so well the supports
14287s	were perfect they were perfect in it
14290s	who okay well speaking of perfect it's
14293s	going to be adaptations that have to
14294s	come through going into map number two
14296s	for Costa Rica best of three series
14298s	means that if this is either do or die
14301s	maybe you could sweep it away here on
14303s	Gibraltar Costa Rica could also take a
14306s	lunch one Converse
14308s	if there's any point where you really do
14310s	need to have those adaptations come
14312s	through it has to be on Gibraltar right
14315s	like there is no excuse here uh if
14318s	something isn't working again their
14319s	switches are going to be made so I feel
14320s	like we are going to see Costa Rica be
14322s	put in a very uncomfortable position
14323s	here and actually having to switch
14326s	things up unless things happen to go
14328s	well but Mexico on control I mean we're
14331s	looking already solid
14333s	well we're not gonna have to wait too
14334s	much longer to see if Costa Rica can
14336s	make those adaptations come through but
14338s	if you're a Mexico fan of course you're
14339s	cheering them on to close it out in a
14341s	2-0 so I'm gonna let you guys handle it
14345s	and send you guys over towards Gibraltar
14347s	and see how this series does pan out
14351s	all right heading down to it now coming
14355s	into a completely different game mode
14357s	honestly this is one of my favorite Maps
14359s	I don't know about you Billy uh how are
14361s	you feeling about Gibraltar I mean with
14363s	the new map changes uh uh okay so I've
14367s	been playing it uh here about a week and
14369s	a half since uh season five dropped
14372s	um I love the changes here first of all
14374s	um it doesn't make it so snowbally
14377s	um and you have more chances to
14380s	recontest as a Defender
14382s	um and as an attacker you you know you
14384s	can you can get out of your spot a lot
14385s	easier too so I think that the uh the
14388s	the geometry of the maps here that have
14391s	been changed down have absolutely gone
14394s	in favor of the player and the player
14396s	experience is is so much better now
14398s	um now looking at Costa Rica they're
14400s	gonna come out on the attack here
14402s	um we'll see if they actually stay with
14403s	this competition because it can work and
14404s	I'll get into that in a minute but
14406s	Mexico right now they're looking at High
14407s	Ground Control they're looking to pounce
14409s	on a Target and take care of it and
14411s	we're looking at palette
14412s	I mean had a great grid during the
14416s	content the Timeless cut creators cup uh
14418s	especially on the brigitta so and Diana
14421s	is not too bad either you might see a
14423s	swap there between Maps but I mean we'll
14425s	look for Castle to pounce upon the back
14427s	line of Costa Rica and take them down
14429s	yeah and actually for both teams looking
14430s	at the same support idea but a very
14433s	different DPS composition here you're
14434s	looking at the soldier with the Genji
14436s	tons and tons of damage that could
14438s	actually go through and a lot of long
14439s	range shots so they're really looking to
14441s	just break down the composition here
14444s	right now winter again playing that solo
14446s	touch but the Winston is what's really
14448s	going to make this count for Mexico I
14450s	think this is perfect with the
14451s	composition they've made up with
14452s	obviously the Hans and the Tracer coming
14454s	through in cohesion but I mean again
14456s	it's something we're definitely gonna
14457s	have to see already making some of that
14459s	pressure come down but the heels are
14460s	immaculate
14462s	what the okay Bobo I see you came
14465s	over you know with the sleeve from long
14467s	range but seriously uh Costa Rica's uh
14470s	uh composition right now should be able
14472s	to take space and it is because uh
14475s	Winston has only a very flimsy shield
14476s	and yes you do have the Tesla that puts
14478s	out constant pressure but Diva doesn't
14480s	have to reload and Toby locks uh is
14482s	actually getting it done now on the
14484s	trailer this is a steamroll oh my Lord
14486s	Mexico what did you have for dinner my
14489s	friends
14492s	honestly they had a a nice bladder or
14495s	something because that they've been
14496s	playing pretty good leading into this
14499s	whole entire tournament I I don't even
14500s	know how to feel right now and we come
14502s	into this and we're like you know what
14503s	these players know that all they're
14504s	heading for is to at least get
14506s	themselves out of this position of uh
14508s	you know down in this B-side spot so all
14511s	they want is to again make their names
14513s	known doing a very good job here for
14516s	Mexico right now chobolux playing on
14518s	that tracery Tracer uh looking for some
14520s	opium here nice shots actually
14521s	committing but of course when we talk
14523s	about uh trace for just a little bit we
14525s	also notice that the spread kind of
14527s	increasing a bit so the shots getting a
14530s	bit harder to touch here still though
14531s	making numbers out now the Primal Rage
14535s	giving into their urges castles being
14538s	able to push these players back even
14540s	further yeah it's impossible to get past
14542s	Mexico right now it's carnal it's
14544s	aggressive it's spicy dare I say and I
14547s	love it I mean they're not taking any
14549s	SAS from this co-sufficient team right
14551s	now they are are taking space you're
14553s	looking at the beautiful one you know
14555s	honorable Tracer duel between Shelby
14556s	Alex and winter I mean trophylex has
14558s	been just sitting on this pulse bomb
14559s	just looking for a Target now the dragon
14561s	strike uh available to Angel balado here
14564s	and so I mean we're just at the car wash
14565s	we're under two minutes Gompers this is
14567s	starting to look very dire already oh
14570s	and now it's even harder to try to get
14572s	away from this just needing fodelo to
14575s	take his Genji and really push it out
14578s	into the crowd a nice play and a nice
14580s	back off as well castled now having to
14582s	push themselves back wait for the
14583s	healers so that they can re-aggress and
14586s	reinforce themselves that I mean the
14588s	Dragon Blade get the nanoblade just gets
14590s	all the work done but now you got that
14591s	off the table and you're gonna have the
14593s	rally coming in so you're gonna be very
14594s	sorry big name coming in from cap from
14596s	uh from Redtube though this is actually
14598s	where they need to go in
14601s	oh
14602s	okay not easy enough yeah there's a lot
14605s	going on right now the polls Bob kind of
14607s	just ended the hoax and dreams of we did
14609s	uh what's the point of having a repeat
14611s	if you're just gonna go to town like
14613s	that unfortunately but still again
14615s	waiting for something big they are
14616s	pushing back which is uh pretty much
14618s	castled I would say is doing an
14620s	Immaculate shovel playing that tag
14622s	because the pressure that we've seen so
14624s	far Costa Rica only making this
14625s	advancements because of hodelo so
14628s	I mean they're going to need that
14629s	ultimate to come back quicker or else
14630s	they're not going to make it any further
14632s	Barbara already very close to coming
14633s	back down luckily enough we did and
14635s	Benji going unscathed
14637s	I I mean what we're looking at golfers
14639s	here is that you're looking at the uh
14641s	you're looking for the blade to get
14643s	ready uh and the Primal Rage will buy
14645s	you some time but cast The Castle uh has
14647s	probably rage we're gonna be able to
14648s	reset but they're good well they've
14650s	moved there from onto the lotto they get
14652s	it done uh it takes uh takes the Primal
14655s	off the board so 10 seconds they're
14656s	gonna have to pop the Primal just to get
14658s	back to point oh but we're looking at
14660s	the percentage you're coming through
14661s	from angelado talking about Primal let's
14663s	talk about the dead Blossom because he's
14665s	waiting right now down in the depths
14668s	waiting for the Winston but it doesn't
14669s	matter round one being complete it's
14672s	Mexico taking on this first round
14676s	I mean just the fact that baru was never
14679s	able to capitalize and and relinquish
14682s	control uh of The High Ground off of off
14686s	of Castle uh that that just shot him in
14689s	the in the rear end there was no chance
14691s	for them to get beyond that and there
14693s	was only one hero play that you could
14694s	cut out I mean with the amount of
14696s	sustained that Mexico had there on the
14698s	defense they had all the sight lines
14699s	covered I mean this is a beautiful uh
14701s	blade and dash through to get it built
14703s	up I mean they got the work done with
14705s	that but still I mean so much worked on
14708s	it and Angel you know actually gets the
14709s	work done there and takes them out at
14711s	the end of the blade that would have
14712s	been the point captured so I mean this
14714s	last second little flick there uh saves
14716s	point a and now for Mexico they've got
14718s	four minutes to basically get to the end
14720s	of point a and they will take the 2-0
14723s	sweep here so uh I mean it's all it's
14726s	all on Costa Rica right now they don't
14727s	want to go down o1 but I mean you know
14729s	and you've got three people transferring
14731s	out of group a that's the good thing
14733s	the bad thing is that you've got Puerto
14735s	Rico and you've got Mexico in front of
14736s	you so I mean right now there you go
14738s	they looking very very clean
14741s	I think uh it's gonna be hard to really
14744s	bypass oh the life Weaver actually
14746s	coming out this is something that I
14748s	wasn't actually expecting to come
14749s	through at all yeah uh I just got
14751s	trolled it's not coming out at all I was
14753s	correct I was correct but it's okay
14755s	because Costa Rica they're playing with
14757s	the torture and the reason why I like
14760s	this is because there is a lot of long
14762s	range holes here you see the ACT you see
14764s	the tour of Jordan kind of relying on
14766s	that turret honestly uh to really make
14769s	the hold and that pressure come through
14771s	of course I mean gonna have to play a
14773s	very far distance game here so that was
14776s	Eva barely making any damage to come
14778s	through and the Winston now finally
14779s	making their way up Castle I'm gonna
14781s	back themselves off a bit too close I
14784s	mean the reason why you play the diva
14785s	here here's the damage mitigation the
14787s	ability to go from high to low uh the
14789s	reason why you're playing the torbjorn
14790s	here is because of the Tracer because
14792s	turbulence got so much work done the
14794s	auto the turret has Auto eight so you're
14796s	going to get Vision as well out of it
14798s	and I mean that's gonna have to be
14799s	really point a here for uh Angel
14801s	volatile is to take down the turret
14802s	locate it and then take it out that way
14804s	trophylex has a lot of room to maneuver
14809s	it's uh pretty hard honestly it looks
14810s	like
14812s	right now with anything the moment that
14814s	you peek you're gonna be able to get
14816s	some damage knocked up on you although
14819s	down below you can see tons of players
14821s	right now still trying to keep intact
14823s	the Winston fighting the low ground and
14825s	they trip a lot of fighting the high
14827s	they finished it off it was a sweep
14829s	coming through from Mexico listen they
14832s	had a big run Billy going into their
14835s	qualifying spot playing as midnight
14837s	making it into this position uh they
14839s	they we're in a lower bracket run and
14841s	they ran with it they barely lost any
14844s	games they actually played the most
14845s	games out of everybody inside of this
14847s	grouping stage what the heck was that
14848s	defense come on Adam you got it you've
14851s	got to touch you have to touch this is
14854s	this is this is the World Cup qualifiers
14856s	you've got to touch you can't sit up
14857s	there and just watch them take the point
14859s	what the heck was that Costa Rica
14861s	the heck I mean you just say oh yeah
14863s	silver silver platter silver platter Ash
14866s	come on back in here give us the
14868s	grilling that we know we deserve
14871s	okay you guys have had some fighting
14873s	words already I don't know if anybody
14875s	needs me laying on some extra heat but
14879s	showing coming out from Mexico to start
14882s	things off there I'm pretty today's all
14885s	just been 2-0 sweeps to be honest I kind
14888s	of expect it I guess within the first
14890s	day of the round robin group stages to
14893s	be fair but
14896s	I just for Costa Rica there was a lot
14899s	going on there Gompers and what was
14901s	their biggest weak point would you say
14904s	uh again kind of leading back to what we
14906s	said in that first game it was those
14908s	adaptations and honestly the pressure
14910s	coming through from Mexico was something
14911s	that they just didn't know how to stop
14913s	you could see that torque drone switch
14914s	like they were desperate to try for
14916s	something at that point they tried to
14918s	hire a sixth player at aka the turret
14921s	and then said you know what do your job
14922s	and and sat there like this was one of
14925s	those moments where they really were
14926s	questioning themselves but at the end of
14929s	the day it all worked out for Mexico
14930s	listen Puerto Rico but I will say though
14932s	there was potential there it was just
14934s	again that fear of losing
14936s	there's no way you just called the
14938s	turret the sixth man but so good all
14941s	good oh good guys we're gonna take a
14944s	little replay though at these last two
14946s	matches that we just saw between Costa
14948s	Rica and Mexico and Chef Billy Gompers
14952s	is touching on it just a little bit
14953s	there but Mexico very much so more in
14956s	control of the overall Tempo that
14959s	aggression and really pushing Costa Rica
14962s	between a rock and a hard place I mean
14965s	that little that little repay light
14966s	there uh even though Angela I don't know
14969s	that they were going down to the Dragon
14970s	Blade the fact that they take the
14972s	blading Genji out with their last bolt
14974s	of the of the storm arrows I mean that
14976s	that just shows uh what heart this
14978s	Mexican team has and the reason why uh
14981s	the reason why Mexico just absolutely
14983s	decimates Costa Rica here uh and
14986s	Gibraltar is uh the fact that Mexico
14989s	just controlled The High Ground the
14991s	entire time there was no displacement uh
14994s	baru was completely ineffectual uh
14996s	trying to get them off The High Ground
14998s	whether with the with their own Winston
14999s	or with the diva I mean Diva should be
15001s	running into the Winston's face and just
15003s	laying in just holding down left click
15005s	uh and using the uh using the defense
15008s	Matrix to eat any kind of healing coming
15010s	into the uh into the Winston uh and just
15013s	bursting them down I mean nine times out
15015s	of ten Diva beats Winston in that that's
15017s	how good Castle was on this Winston I
15020s	mean as a just for one uh section of
15023s	Gibraltar
15026s	9225 damage mitigated that is a very
15029s	large number for a Winston so the bubble
15031s	uh the bubble usage and cycling was
15034s	absolutely chef's kiss perfect very
15036s	impressed with this tank and I can't
15038s	wait to see what they got going on here
15040s	so man Mexico I mean they're looking
15042s	very clean coming out the gate here uh
15044s	in day one of America is here
15048s	all right we we talk a bit about Mexico
15050s	listen I know they're the victors which
15051s	I will give them a big congratulations
15053s	but I'm gonna go back to Puerto Rico I'm
15055s	gonna say listen this team had such a
15058s	good placement there you saw it honestly
15061s	I I thought I saw some of the dog that
15064s	they had in them when you saw hodelo you
15066s	saw them pull out the Dragon Blade
15068s	listen there was something going on
15069s	there and I thought they had it for a
15071s	second but again unfortunately it ended
15073s	up not working out I feel like there
15074s	were definitely those moments from
15075s	Puerto Rico which is why I'm not going
15077s	to count them out just yet but again it
15079s	has to be those moments much more
15081s	consistently or else things like this
15082s	happen
15083s	all good it's day one it's day one Costa
15086s	Rica they have an opportunity to make
15088s	that comeback later on into this event
15091s	but at the same time every single shot
15094s	counts especially when you've got quite
15096s	Monsters of teams here within group a to
15098s	fight for those top three spots with but
15101s	there is still one more match here in
15104s	group a for today's OverWatch World Cup
15106s	online qualifiers we're gonna take it to
15108s	a quick break and then right after we'll
15111s	be right back with Guatemala versus
15112s	Puerto Rico

15441s	it's been one heck of a day of OverWatch
15444s	World Cup and it all comes down now to
15448s	the last match of day one for the online
15450s	qualifiers up next we've got finally
15453s	Gompers Puerto Rico versus Guatemala
15457s	listen listen listen
15460s	like like who puts Rica Rico like let me
15463s	live my life let me live My Truth uh I
15466s	accidentally said accidentally said
15468s	Puerto Rican I'm very sorry
15470s	now
15472s	so I'm
15482s	a continent so why are you exposing
15486s	yourself further right now on my podcast
15489s	well I'm just gonna steal the mic away
15491s	and Chef really we're gonna have a
15493s	conversation a conversation and give her
15496s	a second to to regroup take a breath in
15499s	a couple deep breaths if you will
15501s	um but heading into this Puerto Rico
15503s	versus Guatemala match up how are you
15507s	feeling about these two teams do you
15508s	even have maybe a spicy prediction to
15511s	throw out there I mean yeah it's gonna
15513s	be two zero Puerto Rico I mean let's be
15515s	completely honest with each other
15517s	um just the just the the amount of scrim
15519s	and practice and Synergy that this
15521s	Puerto Rican team has right now okay I
15524s	mean led by gizgam their coach and
15527s	they've also got by the way Louis uh who
15530s	was a star at the University of Texas
15532s	Dallas uh competed in the OverWatch
15535s	contenders has competed in a lot of the
15538s	Collegiate championships you ever watch
15539s	Collegiate Championship itself uh ranked
15542s	very high in the okra which is the
15543s	OverWatch Collegiate rankings
15545s	Association uh they were ranked in the
15547s	top five uh just graduated this past uh
15550s	summer congratulations to Louis for
15551s	graduating from the University of
15553s	graduated as a comment uh but uh I mean
15557s	looking at Puerto Rico just on paper
15560s	right now uh the amount of actual you
15563s	know championships and stuff like that
15564s	that they've got under the belt may not
15566s	speak uh to high volumes but I think
15569s	that where they have placed they're an
15571s	individual talents and how they've come
15572s	together I think this is what uh they
15575s	have they also got Island Pride I mean
15577s	here for uh for Puerto Rico I mean
15581s	they've got it they've got it in Spades
15583s	I've sat in it on their on their scripts
15585s	uh and watched how they communed I've
15587s	listened to their comms and I mean it is
15588s	incredible to see how they go and it's
15590s	all going to be led by Papa Joe I gotta
15593s	tell you right now it's gonna be led by
15594s	Papa Joe take a look at we'll take a
15595s	look at Guatemala uh here and and
15597s	embedded Iran this is a this is their
15601s	tank player uh really want to see how
15603s	they come out and deal with Papa Joe
15604s	because Papa Joe has learned how to
15606s	control the aggression uh has learned
15609s	patience and I think that uh the datiron
15612s	might try to bait Papa Joe into some uh
15616s	unsavory positions and I think the pub
15618s	Jones is gonna say I pass I'm gonna stay
15620s	with my team I'm gonna peel back that's
15621s	something I've also seen with this great
15622s	thing so I mean I haven't had I haven't
15625s	had the chance to look at Guatemala
15626s	right so I mean this is going to be a
15628s	learning experience I think for
15629s	everybody
15631s	um because there's not a lot of there's
15632s	not a lot of uh sample sizes to go off
15634s	of from this Guatemalan team but yeah I
15637s	mean this is the World Cup right and
15639s	anything can happen on any given day so
15642s	I want to see them come out strong I
15644s	want to see them come out as a five-man
15646s	unit I want to see them really take it
15647s	to play 30 because we aren't quite
15649s	honest
15650s	okay okay some really awesome points
15653s	there love to hear about the heart of
15656s	the Puerto Rican team but focusing back
15658s	on this Guatemalan team as well here are
15660s	gone burst shot Billy was just talking
15662s	about you know Vendetta Iran trying to
15665s	maybe look for those trap plays do you
15668s	think that that's something that they
15669s	might find some success on or even
15671s	something that they will try to lean
15673s	into to isolate the positioning of their
15675s	opponents yeah I mean there are some
15678s	difficulties there Puerto Rico is a very
15679s	strong team so when you're looking
15681s	obviously again like that lack of
15682s	information coming from Guatemala it is
15685s	difficult to put that two and two number
15687s	together it's kind of like looking at
15689s	the big dogs and then trying to find The
15691s	Underdogs they're they're so little like
15693s	you can't see them and it's one of those
15694s	things where they will grow in time and
15697s	I'm hoping that they get to show us kind
15698s	of what they have to offer here from uh
15701s	Guatemala just because again I love
15703s	seeing new players uh really shine in
15706s	moments like these where it really does
15708s	count so I I do believe now that of
15710s	course these countries are coming
15711s	together there is a possibility that
15713s	Guatemala having this big name on them
15715s	uh they're gonna show us something good
15717s	yeah and then I also want to touch back
15720s	on to actually both of the tanks here
15721s	for both Puerto Rico and Guatemala the
15724s	fact that we're actually seeing two
15726s	Reinhardt beans coming into this matchup
15729s	something that we actually have been
15730s	missing out on a little bit today we've
15732s	seen more so like the winstons the Divas
15735s	coming out the ramatras but we haven't
15737s	really seen that ride presents what can
15740s	you tell us about how this is kind of
15741s	gonna kind of gonna shift the play style
15744s	of what these teams or maybe even Force
15745s	further adaptability out of each other I
15748s	mean I think this is a carryover from
15750s	OverWatch one uh where you've got the
15752s	main tank mentality and I think that
15754s	both vendetti Ron and uh Papa Joe I mean
15756s	I know Papa Joe have you seen him not
15759s	only uh at 14 Puerto Rico but also in
15761s	some Collegiate stuff uh also back where
15764s	I got my start in in the console gaming
15766s	League uh Paw Patrol played there and it
15769s	was a main take it was an absolute
15771s	Menace and has absolutely leveled up
15773s	since they've gone over to uh PC land so
15777s	I I think that the main tanks are
15778s	definitely going to be bigger in the
15780s	pocket for these two teams uh Papa Joe's
15783s	uh Winston is disgusting let me just put
15786s	that out there
15788s	um I have not seen any off-tank looks
15789s	from Papa Joe from any recent footage so
15792s	I don't know if that's in the back
15793s	pocket right now they're only carrying
15794s	the one tank
15795s	so uh that is a that is what we're gonna
15798s	be looking at uh here for them I know
15800s	you've been dead here on like I said
15801s	we're learning here together
15803s	okay very cool very cool interesting
15806s	to look out for going into this next
15808s	match up though but we're heading over
15810s	towards Lee Jing Tower once again so
15813s	Chef Billy Thumpers I'm gonna send you
15815s	guys all out there and take it away
15821s	back into lijong Tower when we were here
15824s	before there was a completely different
15826s	story happening right when you're
15828s	looking at uh what exactly is going on
15831s	with Mexico and then uh you know Costa
15834s	Rica back in those past games uh are we
15836s	gonna see kind of that same origin
15838s	happen right now or are we going to be
15840s	able to see some of those closer games
15842s	uh if if Puerto Rico plays the way that
15846s	they have been showing in their scrimb
15848s	blocks uh and some of their friendlies
15851s	um I think this should be a pretty
15853s	comprehensive and pretty straightforward
15854s	match for Puerto Rico but if it's nerves
15857s	if the if the uh size of the moment gets
15860s	to this young Squad
15863s	um then they might run into a little bit
15864s	of a hiccup but it should be pretty easy
15867s	honestly uh for for Puerto Rico right
15870s	now because I mean just based upon how
15872s	they have been playing together and the
15874s	Synergy that they have built together we
15876s	are going to see the Reinhardt V
15877s	Reinhardt and uh this is the symmetra
15879s	comes out early from Andrew they're
15881s	gonna be on the point ready to go uh
15883s	better run two you said you're looking
15885s	for some of those pitch plays I feel
15886s	like here Papa Joe did a great job
15890s	cool okay oh oh he's dancing uh he
15893s	listen they're having a good time right
15895s	now on the point it's okay yep I uh like
15898s	I said
15899s	um maintain uh energy
15902s	uh definitely uh gonna be on display
15904s	here and Papa Joe uh if you give them
15907s	the opportunity to play aggressively and
15910s	you've got the support at the back and
15911s	you watch for the feel that needs to
15913s	come through for Papa Joe uh or for the
15915s	support from Papa Joe watch how he has
15917s	learned patience and being able to kite
15918s	back and make sure that supports are
15920s	taken care of
15922s	charity some of that seals coming down
15924s	it's gonna be hard for Papa Joe to make
15926s	it back for the bats he's actually
15927s	making some of those numbers count uh
15930s	immortality Shield coming up now being
15932s	able to actually play for the ultimate
15933s	but it doesn't matter for Papa Joe to
15935s	start to come through in the automaking
15936s	numbers count but lacking that kiriko
15939s	again you're kind of gonna see this
15941s	complete change in uh what this team can
15943s	do although the passive approach still
15945s	not there Puerto Rico but they've pushed
15947s	themselves uh to a very very far extent
15950s	yeah and or p as well closing things off
15952s	very nicely I mean this metroplay from
15954s	NP is actually great and I love this
15956s	Mesa Metro look where you were being
15958s	able to control choke points you're able
15959s	to slow people down to the turrets I
15961s	mean the car wash is already set up
15962s	coming out of their main choke here and
15964s	you're looking for Arenas to be able to
15965s	separate everybody off that's a big day
15967s	that comes through but the immortality
15968s	field is the better
15972s	yeah actually already yeah it's it's
15974s	happening again and again and again this
15977s	is something that reiteration that we
15979s	got to see although Costa Rica last time
15981s	again putting up that fight so that's
15983s	kind of one of what I want to see come
15984s	out of Guatemala I want to see them uh
15987s	really push those numbers the symmetra
15989s	that with the turrets not making that
15990s	any easier so they're gonna try to find
15992s	that other way through and push it to a
15995s	further extent already trying to come
15997s	down we still have so many ultimates
15999s	left to utilize here with Papa Joe
16001s	sitting along the back line gonna be
16003s	able to see Talisman with the Wall come
16005s	up and push the ultimate down onto the
16008s	point everything coming down to it
16011s	betting raw now the tank down as well
16013s	and it is impossible to try to get on to
16016s	the point at this point it is the May
16018s	wall it is the combination of that
16020s	coming through with a tank uh incredible
16024s	gameplay from Puerto Rico I mean they
16026s	just understood their win condition
16028s	there be able to stop the uh the choke
16030s	progression
16031s	coming from Guatemala they had a deal
16035s	with Arenas on the echo but the echo
16037s	wasn't getting nearly enough done there
16039s	was no support uh aerial lead for that
16041s	player uh and I mean Papa Joe I mean a
16044s	4K to start things off yes please that's
16047s	exactly what we want to see we want the
16049s	tank to establish himself and right
16051s	there that's not just a that's not just
16053s	a little bit of spice that's also
16055s	setting the tone uh for this series as
16058s	in Papa Joe's second you're not taking
16060s	space for me this is MySpace you've got
16061s	to come and claim it
16064s	uh it's pretty difficult to clean a
16066s	space that
16070s	or Guatemala again like I really do want
16073s	to see some of that Firepower come
16074s	through I just don't think that when
16076s	you're looking at that uh that Reinhardt
16079s	it isn't working quite necessarily now
16081s	again switching over to the cement to
16083s	themselves having Richie try to play for
16084s	that but down towards the back Lane
16086s	talisman
16087s	making it very difficult for the seasons
16090s	for something like what with some nice
16092s	shots Puerto Rico again making something
16095s	work and you got a team kill to come
16097s	through uh honestly astonishing to see
16100s	this team and how they're playing right
16101s	now dumpers that's a 3K Boop off the
16104s	side light wolf was lying and wait like
16106s	a Black Widow and hatched the Trap send
16110s	everybody into the koi pond night night
16112s	see you later you're done and now it's
16114s	all about them trying to get on this
16115s	point and with the mobility of Puerto
16117s	Rico right now Guatemala are in serious
16119s	trouble already
16122s	I'm looking at serious trouble again uh
16125s	even now Palace but actually still
16127s	making some good numbers and they know
16128s	what to focus on which is something I
16130s	really like coming through from this
16131s	still actually pushing themselves back
16133s	around
16134s	trying to make sure they're playing with
16135s	the team although going to have to
16137s	regain that composure this is different
16139s	we see something out of Guatemala that
16141s	we haven't seen before still though with
16142s	the symmetra I think that extra resource
16145s	of damage is really working out well and
16146s	her P can't even get a half through
16148s	right now especially since you've got
16149s	those like those turrets really blockade
16152s	it yeah I mean the symmetra turrets once
16155s	they establish control on the point uh
16157s	it's pretty much done and Dustin now
16158s	they need to pull out uh the immortality
16161s	field of Mario here on the Baptiste
16164s	they've got the amp Matrix ready to go
16165s	so that's also going to be something
16167s	that Puerto Rico has to push into but
16169s	Talisman can really start the tenor of
16171s	this conversation with a well-placed
16173s	pulse bottle
16175s	uh they're playing the sneaky game as
16177s	well
16179s	actually still using their blink to try
16181s	to get around the back unnoticed very
16183s	very nicely still though the silence is
16185s	there
16186s	you see Papa Joe on to the point trying
16189s	to get something but unfortunately again
16190s	the time is something big here they're
16192s	still wasting some of that time the tank
16193s	actually backing off so the opportunity
16195s	is Big Betty Tron
16197s	pushing themselves out of the way
16200s	vendettitron
16203s	what I I don't even know what's going on
16205s	anymore at this point everybody just
16207s	goes down in a millisecond wall actually
16209s	not doing too much here
16211s	uh a super big fight and the fact that
16214s	you hold on to beat and pulse bomb
16215s	Gompers is absolutely massive you win
16218s	that on a little bit of expensive uh
16221s	from the 300 Square stuff you go put out
16223s	there but you get the app Matrix and you
16225s	get the pulse bomb that's a 2K from
16227s	Towson huge pickups
16230s	keeping it going as well Talisman still
16232s	working with the team there and it is oh
16236s	my gosh it is done with right there and
16239s	then Honestly though we do see something
16241s	different out of Guatemala I said it
16242s	before 48 still left up out of uh you
16245s	know the zero percent that they've made
16246s	before so again making those adaptations
16249s	but still I mean the uh the awareness of
16252s	Talisman knowing that they could get in
16254s	with the uh with the pulse bomb and the
16256s	2K just sets in the whole fight sets up
16258s	the whole fight no they're in like Steve
16260s	like Stephen like right now it's going
16262s	in that forces out the the uh the beat
16264s	he gets hacked yeah I mean you're just
16266s	looking Every Which Way ain't gone first
16268s	this is a this is a very broken finder
16269s	from Puerto Rico
16271s	oh they're still pushing it down palace
16274s	Man on Fire right now getting themselves
16277s	out of the way but still shots hitting
16279s	damage isn't coming enough though again
16280s	they're by themselves at this point
16281s	having some of that backup come through
16284s	from Papa Joe but with Richie putting
16288s	that pulse bomb down again makes it very
16291s	difficult guacamana are holding on but
16293s	Talisman is holding on as well they've
16295s	managed to make some of that damage come
16297s	through but they backed themselves off
16298s	the point now there is Guatemala still
16300s	live to see another day yeah and I mean
16302s	the fact that Talisman gets out 93 the
16304s	pulse bomb and now pulling the aggro
16306s	from Richie it means that you're gonna
16308s	get a free EMP into this next fight and
16310s	yep there's a manual Hack That should be
16312s	them going down it is in fact now they
16313s	have the EMP ready to go
16318s	still on the come up though
16320s	you see NRP having something fake to
16323s	play with here and looking at the hat to
16325s	come through it is immaculate now like
16327s	wolf with the first pick to come down
16329s	now still actually pushing along and
16331s	this is a perfect place
16333s	from Papa Joe
16336s	impossible to get away from a player
16338s	like this and now they've push back
16339s	towards spawn they know what they need
16341s	to do and the immortality field going
16344s	down so it doesn't matter anymore Papa
16346s	Joe's still holding on to the last
16348s	couple seconds of this but of course
16350s	moving down to the hamster it's gonna be
16354s	super difficult to hold on to this
16355s	although they're trying their very
16357s	absolute best Guatemala going down one
16359s	by one but still trying to make things
16362s	for a cure coat down of course maybe
16364s	going to be able to cancel something to
16366s	it 73 still waiting on that pulse bomb
16368s	and it's loading up very quickly I mean
16371s	we're looking for Andrew P A Talisman in
16372s	combinations take care of each other and
16373s	pop Joe over onto the Reinhardt to be
16375s	able to smash uh vendetti Ronin this is
16377s	all the clear that they need 15th floor
16379s	streak here and the post mom goes out
16381s	and finishes everything that is a 2-0
16383s	map uh win here for Puerto Rico they
16386s	take lijiang Tower 200 to 88. and I mean
16390s	Gardens was a little bit more
16392s	competitive I think they got a little
16394s	bit more aggressive uh maybe a little
16396s	bit more ego into their game uh feeling
16399s	their oats so to speak uh definitely
16401s	have that extra helping of Wheaties but
16403s	uh we're gonna bring Ash back in here uh
16406s	and see what she thinks about how Lee
16408s	Jean Tower went down
16411s	okay guys the Papa Joe stonks are
16416s	trending up right now like that was an
16420s	insane opener with the 4K to come
16422s	through yeah just immediately leads into
16425s	a team kill right and then not too long
16427s	afterwards you get the second team kill
16429s	that just rounds out that first point in
16432s	just such a strong showing there from
16435s	Puerto Rico and it's tough because
16437s	Guatemala they had some of those
16439s	glimmers of Hope for sure gobbers
16442s	Unfortunately they just weren't able to
16444s	make those conversions
16445s	uh yeah you talk about it right making
16447s	those conversions and I felt like a lot
16449s	of it you could see them actually trying
16450s	to make those changes down in
16452s	composition wise but it just was never
16454s	working out and a big part of that we're
16456s	gonna get back to the stonks over here
16458s	Papa Joe right you're looking at the way
16460s	they're playing you're looking at what
16461s	they're doing uh bringing out the Primal
16463s	Rage at such perfect moments to regain
16465s	that momentum but again I I did see
16467s	Guatemala being a lot more comfortable
16470s	with Puerto Rico as time went on so
16472s	there was something there there was that
16475s	spark that I felt like we needed to see
16477s	in that last game there uh with Mexico
16479s	and Costa Rica so when you're looking at
16482s	these two teams and you're you're kind
16484s	of comparing and contrasting there is at
16485s	least that development
16487s	no that's for sure and that's what
16489s	happens as the series goes on right you
16491s	familiarize yourselves with your
16492s	opponents that you haven't really played
16493s	much against before and then just slowly
16496s	look to make those adaptations but Chef
16498s	Billy right now we're on the online
16500s	qualifiers for the world stage you
16503s	cannot afford to take that long to
16506s	actually Implement those changes that
16507s	are needed true and I think that what we
16510s	did see uh that we did not see really
16512s	out of Costa Rica was the fact that the
16515s	Adaptive adaptation started coming
16517s	through a lot earlier for them they
16519s	realized that they were getting a little
16520s	bit dipped out
16522s	um and you saw Arenas go over to their
16524s	own Tracer I think that was a great uh
16526s	change for them uh the the Ryan V Ryan I
16529s	mean Papa Joe went with a Winston into a
16531s	Reinhardt and generally Reinhardt will
16533s	be able to win that because of the Swing
16534s	uh and because of the stability that you
16536s	have in the charge can take a take
16538s	Winnie for a ride but Paw Patrol I
16541s	talked about it in the opener when we
16542s	opened up this map I talked about the
16544s	the maturity that this player has gained
16546s	uh we're seeing on the stage the world
16548s	stage right now this is exactly what
16551s	they want I mean this is uh this is that
16552s	player that is a couple months away from
16555s	graduating with their Aviation license
16557s	and so I mean they're gonna be a pilot
16560s	uh so this is like kind of like a last
16562s	call for OverWatch for Papa Joe and he
16564s	wants to go out with the bank and he is
16565s	absolutely living up to the building I I
16568s	think right now for gizcam uh you you
16570s	absolutely have to tell you uh protect
16573s	the tank protect the tank the tank will
16575s	lead you to the got to the to the
16576s	promised land and Papa Joe is your
16579s	salvation
16583s	kind of reminds me of like uh I'm not
16586s	gonna say the brand but a pizza brand a
16588s	particular Pizza brand out there so
16590s	listen we talk about songs we know what
16593s	he's selling so let's uh let's uh let's
16595s	be real
16603s	absolutely I mean especially we also
16606s	have like not today but of course more
16608s	OverWatch World Cup to come later on
16610s	this weekend and going into week number
16612s	two if these teens do survive all the
16614s	way there and I was looking at the
16616s	Chatters a little bit someone was
16618s	talking about the Papa Joe doomfist so
16620s	I'm actually curious to see that maybe
16622s	make an appearance into the future could
16625s	be something fun to throw in there but
16628s	overall just an incredible showing
16631s	coming out from Puerto Rico and for
16634s	Guatemala what do you think they really
16636s	need to focus on going into day number
16638s	two I think vendetti Iran needs to get
16640s	back for his uh for uh for their uh for
16643s	their supports I think the sports are
16644s	getting left out to dry a couple times
16646s	with with Vendetta Iran trying to uh be
16649s	a little bit more aggressive which I
16650s	don't I don't necessarily think it's
16651s	about I think if you're going to be
16653s	aggressive your supports have to be on
16654s	the same page with you you have to be
16655s	calming I'm going in I need these
16657s	resources and I think that's something
16658s	we need to go with I mean there's the 3K
16660s	from White Wolf
16661s	God that's beautiful that that is FD
16664s	god-like uh just beautiful work out of
16667s	them so for me uh I mean entropy on the
16670s	song breath uh really getting it done I
16672s	I mean for for two baths uh on a Sombra
16675s	you know with the little peashooter that
16676s	she's got uh I mean still uh this is
16680s	great numbers almost 7 000 uh damage
16682s	with the with the with the 30 shot or 45
16685s	shot little peashooter but mitigating
16687s	the damage I I think that's the big part
16689s	for for sombres when you get the hacks
16691s	out even deny the damage coming in you
16693s	deny the cooldowns I mean Ander P really
16696s	did uh play a perfect map as far as a
16700s	Stormer player uh I think I saw them go
16702s	down maybe once across both Maps so the
16705s	the awareness of the pressure coming in
16707s	when you need to translocate out perfect
16710s	there are manual hack targets perfect
16711s	did that 2K uh pulse bomb doesn't happen
16714s	if you don't hack the baptism they can't
16716s	throw the immortality barrier up so they
16718s	really got it done
16719s	yeah that that's sustained for the
16721s	somber player super important just to be
16723s	able to use that utility and help set up
16725s	your team to really capitalize on those
16727s	team fights their Gompers
16729s	yeah honestly speaking of that
16731s	capitalization as well uh a big portion
16734s	of that too was again like that the DPS
16737s	we talk about the DPS we talk about the
16739s	tank but I do feel like uh the people
16741s	behind the scenes that go a lot
16743s	unnoticed and only because if you're
16745s	doing a very good job
16747s	it's very it's it's kind of like when if
16750s	you don't notice your healers you know
16751s	they're doing a good job because they're
16752s	doing exactly what they need to do so I
16754s	do feel like the support here was
16756s	Immaculate you're looking at the amount
16758s	of times that they should have gone down
16759s	in those group fights but then they
16762s	somehow just were not dying so it in my
16765s	opinion uh taking all of that
16767s	information in it is big for the support
16771s	to also get a spotlight of their own I
16772s	would have to say just for that fact of
16775s	okay you know you're looking at what's
16778s	happening with uh Puerto Rico and
16779s	Guatemala you're looking at the fact
16781s	that light wolf or uh zulix and Croy
16783s	whatever they are there to make things
16786s	happen
16787s	so that's for sure it's gonna be a
16790s	pretty big show there over to Guatemala
16791s	to try and just keep an eye on their
16793s	back line keep uh an eye on their
16795s	support players right ensuring that they
16797s	are peeling for them and being able to
16799s	take them out there but overall I mean
16803s	now just looking into the next potential
16807s	map apparently Marie might be heading
16810s	over to Circuit Royale
16812s	oh
16814s	I like it I like it I like it uh I think
16817s	that for
16819s	um for Guatemala I don't know if they
16820s	have snipers this will be something that
16822s	we get to see uh coming out from them
16824s	this is typically and I I'm gonna put
16826s	this in in air quotes typically a sigma
16828s	and double sniper look uh I call it the
16831s	Monaco 5 where you've got the sigma
16833s	you've got Hanzo and Widow and then
16835s	you're running with a bat piece and
16836s	Zenyatta to burst and pump down the tank
16840s	um space taking is going to be at a
16841s	premium for an attacking team because
16843s	the defense can get set up on High
16844s	Ground uh they can take their choice of
16846s	how they want to engage there's room to
16848s	kite back and if you've got a very if
16851s	you've got an experience uh off tank
16853s	player uh that can play the sigma it's
16856s	darn near impossible to get around the
16858s	first quarter you might win a fight uh
16861s	and if the kite is good then you're
16864s	looking at maybe two fights in a total
16867s	of four minutes uh that you that you
16869s	need to win to be able to capture the
16870s	first point so uh it's very Defender
16874s	favored at least point a is point B and
16876s	point C uh it's more of a toss-up but I
16880s	think that if you really dig your heels
16881s	in on point a and you put up a good hold
16885s	um this could be a first point hold for
16887s	a defending team
16889s	okay all big notes to make to consider
16892s	the year especially for Guatemala with
16894s	this map pick coming out for them neon
16896s	circuit Royale and just the necessity of
16899s	having to really tighten in on just the
16901s	general macro and keeping an eye on
16903s	everyone's positioning ensuring that you
16905s	are helping out the team wherever you
16907s	can but again Puerto Rico they looked
16910s	really really strong they're on Liu Jang
16912s	Tower so we'll see if Guatemala can
16914s	maybe make some sort of comeback to take
16916s	it one to one otherwise the majority of
16919s	today has been 2-0 sweeps and Chef Billy
16921s	gumpers take it away
16923s	all right circuit Royale a map that we
16926s	haven't actually seen yet so this is
16929s	something I'm very interested in and I'm
16930s	not gonna I would be lying if I said
16931s	that I wasn't hoping for a double sniper
16933s	composition or maybe something relying
16935s	with the Widow listen I'm a big Widow
16937s	fan we talked about it yes we did we all
16942s	know about my very very bad girl
16947s	I'm so naughty
16948s	listen I'm a big fan big fan
16952s	okay but I mean positioning here is so
16955s	very important uh for the double snipers
16957s	and this is where I think you know I
16958s	bring up that you need to have uh what I
16961s	call the shooting block uh and that's
16962s	where you get uh the sigma set up on The
16964s	High Ground you put the experimental
16965s	barrier out there uh and you and you go
16967s	For Broke uh so we're gonna see that
16969s	right here we do have the uh the uh the
16972s	The Monaco 5 here from Puerto Rico
16974s	they're gonna be on the attack so they
16976s	want to set the tone here they're going
16977s	out aggressive I love this choice that
16980s	they are going out on the attack they
16981s	are gonna stick it uh oh no I'm sorry
16983s	Puerto Rico's on actually on the defense
16985s	I'm sorry Guatemala is actually going to
16986s	be on the uh on the attacker so you know
16988s	I'll walk it back and say you don't
16989s	print the RICO they're gonna know what
16991s	kind of a benchmark they're gonna have
16992s	to hit here and the fact that we're
16993s	coming out with vinzi uh substituting in
16996s	for Diego uh here for team Guatemala uh
16999s	yeah you're looking for the Anna look uh
17001s	you're looking for the sleeps the anti's
17002s	are going to be huge Papa Joe's gonna
17004s	have to be very cognizant and when you
17005s	use that kinetic grasp
17007s	uh my dream did also come true we are
17010s	seeing a double sniper oh and then first
17012s	shot hit of course doesn't work out too
17014s	well but this is something that is very
17017s	risky like you really have to trust your
17018s	TPS in a position like this they have to
17020s	hit their shots with the shield as well
17021s	damage really has to make an account
17023s	here
17024s	with a double shield
17026s	especially you know you got two remote
17028s	actually two sigmas coming down trying
17031s	to make some of these numbers count the
17033s	shield comes down leaving Talisman a bit
17035s	left in the open to try to hit for some
17037s	of these shots but the push commences in
17039s	the Genji actually gonna try to counter
17041s	these snipers
17043s	I mean the fact that Richie gets the
17044s	gets the admission killed uh out uh is
17047s	pretty huge for well there'll be able to
17049s	take a lot of space here the reason why
17051s	you're running the Genji here uh in
17052s	arenas is to be able to get on top of
17054s	either the widow or on top of the Hanzo
17057s	so I mean great uh push back here from
17060s	Team Puerto Rico they take down vendetti
17062s	run on the tank that's a a lot of space
17064s	they're gonna be able to take the
17065s	Talisman super low they need the healing
17067s	right now
17070s	oh it's impossible oh every shot Miss
17073s	Talisman having to back off so though
17075s	again relying on the Genji Arenas still
17078s	looking for uh some pretty big numbers
17080s	here but Guatemala actually on the
17083s	pushback and making something count and
17086s	repeat taking a very very distant angle
17088s	nice shot
17089s	although not much left to do here except
17091s	for weight an air angle to be taken and
17094s	still nothing again
17096s	that Sonic arrow is going to let
17097s	everybody for Guatemala know where the
17100s	Puerto Rican defense is setting up about
17102s	five meters uh ish to go before they
17104s	catch the point this is a better look
17105s	from Guatemala the trade started to come
17107s	through Pancho down that is not good for
17109s	this team
17111s	oh actually the dragon strike coming
17112s	through as well a nice shot from Richie
17115s	leading things to continue here
17118s	Guatemala on a completely different
17119s	stance right now
17121s	I I really like what I'm seeing here
17123s	that was a beautiful shot I mean right
17126s	now uh Guatemala is winning the sniper
17128s	war uh and yeah they've only got one
17131s	sniper unless you count marleo on the uh
17133s	on the Zenyatta with the with the five
17135s	or or the six or volley uh a sniper as
17138s	well because we saw them just land that
17140s	volley onto the unwitting head of Ander
17142s	p and will seitzer out they know exactly
17144s	where to go let's see Pub Joe can get
17146s	anything with this privetic flux oh
17148s	still though okay is snipers coming back
17150s	on it Puerto Rico knew that they were
17152s	losing this fight
17153s	actually on the come up but the thing
17154s	that really does bother me is here we
17157s	have to direct and
17158s	blade so something that is a bit
17162s	concerning is how we're going to be able
17163s	to use that here actually pushing back
17166s	as well still waiting for the team
17167s	Arenas is going to wait to use that
17170s	that's going to be such a big win
17171s	condition if you can use that correctly
17173s	I mean they're waiting for for Nano to
17174s	get built up uh from Lindsay I mean
17176s	they're not looking for a nano blade
17178s	engaged and then they'll be able to have
17179s	a free ravidic flux after that so uh I
17182s	think if you go in with a naked blade uh
17184s	you have time to build up especially
17186s	with how slowly Lindsay is setting this
17187s	up you could probably get another play
17188s	before they get the first Nano online
17191s	oh here's the oh okay this is impossible
17194s	I thought Arenas was gonna actually try
17196s	to Target uh Andrew P there for a second
17199s	but still Papa Joe gets pushed up and
17201s	out back down to some of the damage
17203s	actually getting healed up quite quickly
17205s	here as light weapon Zoo likes making
17207s	some numbers out but the Dragon Blade
17209s	coming out and they managed to push it
17211s	back further it's a 2K to come down but
17214s	it's okay because you see that damage
17215s	and you see the potential they were
17217s	leading up to this moment Morello again
17219s	our our second hand sniper coming
17221s	through from Guatemala Stills though
17224s	listen we said the stones were up on
17226s	Papa Joe so we're still not we're not
17227s	letting it down just now
17229s	uh impossible how does he live through
17232s	that fight because he was so low and I
17233s	know the kinetic grass builds up some of
17235s	the overshielding uh and gets you back
17237s	into a fight but I mean there was no
17239s	healers available uh relies on the many
17242s	and still 1v3 wins the fight and now
17246s	they're back in position they're gonna
17247s	have the gravitic flux online for this
17249s	next fight no Transcendence here for uh
17252s	for uh marleo they're gonna have
17254s	actually a free one the only thing that
17256s	might save what about right now is the
17258s	fact that they have the Nano they can
17259s	keep somebody alive
17262s	actually using the gravitic flux perfect
17264s	timing as well Papa Joe taking a nice
17267s	backhand angle doesn't get the stun off
17269s	but it's okay still everybody behind the
17271s	healers you're looking at them taking
17272s	that High Ground spot in the shield down
17274s	down as well damage is immense right now
17277s	and they are kept alive Papa Joe is
17280s	Unstoppable right now just based off of
17282s	the work that we're seeing like within
17284s	zulics do keeping that alive keeping the
17287s	dream up right now now able to actually
17290s	reconvene with the teammates here
17292s	zulux just lapped marleo in
17295s	Transcendence charge
17297s	and as can still continuing to pull even
17300s	further ahead so that is the work that
17302s	zulax uh you know former Gauntlet
17305s	competitor back in 2020 uh with Sakura
17308s	so I mean we're they're just getting the
17310s	work done they're getting the work done
17311s	and I'm so proud of the Steve right now
17313s	good lord they're putting it on they're
17315s	putting the screws in Guatemala
17317s	uh that's not proud of him as well okay
17319s	Dragon strike now coming through to it
17321s	Richie making something happen trying to
17325s	take a completely different angle now
17327s	around the top view and the confidence
17328s	now booming right now
17330s	but again a lot of difficulties here you
17332s	see the push back you see the way that
17334s	everybody's working together here with
17335s	vendetti Tron
17339s	and again that pushback is going to be
17342s	immense I think a big portion of what
17344s	exactly we're seeing here is then that
17345s	Iran has been
17347s	really pushing on that
17349s	on that tank side still waiting for the
17352s	rabbitic flux to hit now the dragon
17353s	strike there for talisman I mean the
17355s	fact that Puerto Rico is very uh is very
17357s	patient here give them the chance to
17360s	recollect themselves here in this fight
17361s	light wolf takes down the striker that's
17363s	great that's a perfect Dragon strike
17365s	through the cover and now they're gonna
17366s	be able to win this fight pretty much
17367s	leading hopefully nobody goes down uh I
17371s	mean they're really working in on top of
17373s	this they've got them cornered yep that
17374s	is everybody going down less than 30
17376s	seconds for 5.5 less than five meters so
17379s	I mean one fight uh here to decide if
17381s	they get inside of the hotel and uh well
17384s	Papa Joe can actually do a sigma nine
17385s	here and just completely deny them any
17387s	kind of touch
17389s	yeah speaking of the nine of any kind of
17391s	touch it's pretty evident right now what
17393s	and why
17395s	they're just not able to do anything
17396s	especially up to this moment of
17398s	Guatemala they pushed very very far and
17400s	I have to give them that OT now coming
17401s	along Dragon Blade making some numbers
17405s	especially as it comes down with the
17407s	prophetic flux they paused it for a
17409s	second with a 2K from Arenas that might
17411s	actually hold things down just a bit
17412s	over time still completely there but the
17414s	snipers now
17416s	you're coming through it Talisman going
17418s	down so it's up to and repeat to try to
17419s	make some of that damage happen to the
17421s	OT you've managed to push themselves
17422s	back off off of the cart but again it is
17425s	the Tracer coming through from Richie
17427s	that still doesn't make it happen the
17430s	damage immense and the OT over Puerto
17432s	Rico managed to keep things down and
17435s	it's a possibility but again it's far
17437s	enough to the point where there could be
17439s	some problems absolutely I mean the fact
17442s	that Arenas gets a 2K
17445s	while in the middle of a grid Vedic flux
17448s	with a Transcendence right on top of
17450s	them and they still pick up two the Nano
17453s	blade getting the full value right there
17455s	and I I think that we had a little bit
17457s	of of hubris here out of Puerto Rico uh
17460s	they they tried to push up too far uh
17463s	they absolutely got
17465s	lately knocked out of their comfort
17467s	range they got their wits back together
17468s	with them on point B coming around the
17470s	chicane turn here they really had their
17473s	sight lines down as you can see andropy
17474s	picking up heads left and right I mean
17477s	really had a perfect uh map here that's
17480s	far as the Widowmaker using very
17482s	creative sight lines to take the domes
17484s	of their pla of their opposition and
17485s	Guatemala I mean I'm still impressed
17487s	with what we saw on on lijong Tower uh I
17491s	tell you what they really did turn it
17493s	around here uh here on uh here in Monaco
17496s	so yeah this was a good look from
17498s	Guatemala I mean there's no dye there's
17500s	no give up in this team and I love to
17502s	see the fight back yeah and there was a
17504s	lot of fight honestly I would have to
17505s	say out of Richie right it was seeing
17507s	that Hanzo being able to see the amount
17509s	of times that honestly when the storm
17511s	arrows came out the damage came out as
17512s	well this was very big on their parts to
17515s	kind of play with that Genji and of
17516s	course you're you're kind of looking at
17519s	these two brothers Collide here and that
17521s	Hanzo I felt like really made is some of
17524s	those numbers count Richie again back
17526s	onto that Han so now playing on the
17528s	defense so uh we're talking about
17529s	winning out the sniper fight and I feel
17531s	like it might just happen again
17532s	well I mean it's all about positioning
17534s	once again you've got the uh you've got
17535s	the shooting blind up here rich is going
17537s	to take the off angle here while you
17538s	wait uh to have the Widowmaker have the
17541s	better shots and uh well and repeat
17543s	that's making the rotation and well that
17545s	is a huge kill with the storm Arrow
17547s	right through the Doma Richie
17551s	I'm actually still stuck towards the
17553s	bottom
17554s	entropy having no vision whatsoever on
17557s	what is going on but still having it
17559s	rely on Talisman to make some of these
17561s	shots count
17562s	still with the sigma slowly moving
17565s	upwards again this team a very very big
17568s	when it comes to Puerto Rico very big
17570s	when it comes to
17571s	um pushing these players back but the
17573s	biggest portion is losing out on the
17574s	sniper fights Arena's actually taken out
17576s	Andrew P on a shot that they had tried
17578s	to originally hit
17580s	doesn't work out so they miss out on
17581s	that one DPS damage of course running
17584s	think here missing out on some of their
17585s	shots alone there from Talisman but
17587s	still managing to make numbers count the
17589s	speed at which questioning who is going
17591s	right now is insane
17595s	that is uh that that's tasty uh out of
17599s	Talisman uh I thought the tracer was
17601s	darn good the Hanzo is even better the
17603s	tracking is so good I mean this is
17605s	exactly which one Paw Patrol is doing
17607s	the right thing here just claiming all
17609s	of this space from Guatemala and not
17611s	allowing any aggression to come in
17613s	there's the there's the maturity that I
17615s	was talking about dumpers you go up you
17617s	take the space that you can once you
17618s	realize that you're getting to the point
17620s	of being overwhelmed you pull back you
17622s	regather your resources and go back in
17624s	for a second contest they've already
17626s	come around the first quarter of the
17627s	chicane basically for free
17629s	I think a big thing right now is where
17630s	are the heels for vendetti roll on it
17632s	feels like everybody's pushed along the
17634s	back way too far then gone are not even
17636s	able to actually play for what their
17637s	role is intended to for the damage right
17640s	now but marlio still stuck around the
17642s	back and the damage is insane when it
17644s	comes to it Puerto Rico right now might
17647s	have just been able to say Gigi in the
17649s	chat because they're still up towards
17650s	the push-pop but Joe again with the
17651s	pressure here and I'll be able to pull
17654s	through with their ultimate able to see
17656s	the graphic flux in action now with the
17658s	accretion to push back even more and the
17660s	heels are not there and they never will
17662s	be because it might just be a
17664s	possibility that a win to come through
17666s	be able to utilize some of this track
17668s	and blade right now Arena
17670s	it is a beautiful play
17673s	Papa Joe ends it before it can start
17677s	everybody off of the point it's up to
17679s	Papa Joe with two b one and the
17682s	accretion she'll do a good job but no
17684s	heels left
17685s	no shot I mean he 120 health of 140 and
17688s	there's the immortality bear from
17689s	downtown the Frisbee throw gets it done
17692s	and now they're they're back into full
17693s	fight
17696s	I'd be afraid right now Andrew he's
17699s	feeling it especially with the shots
17700s	that we just saw right now but the
17702s	pushback has been pretty good still able
17704s	to see Arenas they are lacking that
17706s	ultimate but the Hanzo was big there
17709s	at least being able to see Talisman
17711s	really pull through the team in those
17713s	last seconds with Puerto Rico they had a
17715s	very very good play
17717s	wow okay that that was just
17721s	you done be gone bye-bye
17727s	I mean they treat him like a cockroach
17728s	there seriously honey that was
17731s	if there was anything that I could say
17732s	more about what just happened uh on the
17735s	Attack Base for Puerto Rico
17737s	um they lost I think three people in the
17740s	entire team uh and pulling people back
17743s	but Ash uh you're coming back in here to
17745s	talk with us after what you just saw go
17747s	down uh in the streets of Monaco on the
17749s	formula Luxe race track that was pretty
17752s	comprehensive out of uh out of Puerto
17754s	Rico I mean it was really really solid
17757s	but I also still want to give it to
17758s	Guatemala for the fact that they did try
17759s	to make those adjustments come through
17761s	and it felt like a honestly a closer
17763s	matchup than it did over on lijiang
17766s	Tower earlier on so at least you see
17769s	that that ability to warm up that we had
17771s	talked about a little bit between both
17773s	of these matches but Gompers I've got to
17777s	hear from you what was the nail in the
17778s	coffin nail in the coffin for me was
17781s	Papa Joe I'm gonna be honest with you I
17784s	listen
17785s	the person you always see on the front
17787s	line which I hope so because he's a tank
17790s	but the person that you're always
17791s	looking on those front lines hence why
17793s	you did get to see they knew exactly
17794s	when to push for Papa Joe they won out
17796s	the group fight they managed to push
17798s	even further so that they could stall
17799s	for some time and also gain that map
17801s	control which is one of the biggest
17802s	things when it's leading down to a game
17805s	like hybrid and whatnot so I think for
17808s	this for me was really Papa Joe's game
17810s	but you also have to give it over to
17812s	those supports like we heard Billy
17813s	talked about earlier as well whole
17815s	reason why he's able to take all of that
17817s	space is because he's got those players
17818s	backing him up and being able to feed
17821s	him all the help that's needed for the
17823s	insane sustain that we saw especially in
17826s	those last few seconds of that last
17828s	matchup Billy I mean just the uh just
17831s	the uh the Frisbee throw from light work
17833s	to get the immortality barrier from way
17835s	downtown uh Papa Joe took that fight 1v3
17838s	and had actually taken two out before
17840s	the immortality barrier came in and took
17842s	out a kitty go uh with the accretion and
17845s	then the hyperspheres after that
17847s	um and then was battling uh vendetti Ron
17849s	on the wrecking ball at that point so I
17851s	mean you know sometimes you need a hero
17854s	sometimes you need to have that main
17855s	tank energy uh and you know make them
17858s	maintain different even though it's it's
17859s	Sigma traditionally an off tank uh plays
17863s	like a main tank here in OverWatch 2 uh
17866s	with the ability to take the space to
17868s	mitigate damage and really just got done
17870s	and the snipers behind the support
17872s	behind I mean just everything was
17874s	absolutely working perfectly here for
17877s	Puerto Rico I mean yeah they got a
17879s	little bit overzeal at some point a on
17880s	their defense uh but they really pulled
17882s	it back together look at these creative
17883s	lines I mean would you expect a
17885s	Widowmaker to be peeking through the
17888s	signs here or the barrier is here and
17890s	taking a head off I mean not me not in
17892s	this one
17893s	that was gross that was really gross
17895s	coming out for Andrew P I mean yeah hey
17898s	there's a reason why he was the MVP on
17900s	Legion Tower and we'll see who ends up
17903s	being the MVP for circuit Royale here
17905s	but Gompers I gotta know like overall
17910s	I know we said that
17912s	um the side of Guatemala did make some
17914s	of those adjustments but yeah
17918s	do you think it was
17920s	as much as you kind of like expected
17922s	them to be able to make in such a short
17923s	span of time do you think they have a
17925s	little bit more wiggle room to try and
17927s	go even a step further I think it was a
17929s	perfect pacing from what we saw before
17931s	if I'm gonna be pretty blunt with you
17933s	because look at what we saw before they
17935s	pretty much got zero percent at some
17938s	point down in control like they were
17939s	suffering when it came down to what
17941s	Puerto Rico had to offer and then you
17943s	kind of saw them at a very very
17945s	progressively get better and better down
17947s	in that second time they uh the second
17949s	time down in control they actually
17951s	almost won out that round and now coming
17953s	into this there was that possibility
17954s	that they could have taken further down
17955s	to that that second point so for me I I
17959s	do really feel like this team was
17961s	showing such promise but again you're on
17963s	a big stage you have a big name behind
17965s	your own you're playing for your country
17967s	like there's a lot of pressure when it
17969s	comes to what you're trying to show here
17971s	and who you're representing absolutely a
17974s	lot of weight on your shoulders to be
17976s	the ones to represent the entirety of
17978s	your nation right and again at least for
17982s	the side of Puerto Rico you do have the
17984s	fact that there is some of that
17987s	experience bleeding into that as a
17990s	factor for this team to be able to
17993s	actually have that mentality keep
17994s	pushing forward and whatnot and I don't
17997s	quite have as much information on the
17999s	Guatemalan Squad unfortunately there but
18001s	still it's a huge opportunity and just
18004s	for learning overall here within the
18006s	OverWatch World Cup as well and Papa Joe
18010s	finally Chef Philly
18012s	MVP that you're looking for look at
18014s	those numbers oh my God the mitigation
18018s	that's the big number uh for a tank
18020s	player especially if you've got a shield
18022s	or defense Matrix or something else this
18024s	was done through the experimental
18026s	barrier and also the kinetic grasp and
18028s	Papa Joe really did uh cycle those
18031s	cooldowns to the highest effect and I
18034s	mean 40 eliminations yeah that's
18035s	tickling people with the hypersphere so
18037s	I don't really look at that number
18038s	necessarily it's the damage uh I mean
18041s	that that's the the secondary number but
18043s	the the mitigation is the biggest number
18045s	four is Sigma if you're you know through
18047s	one and a half points almost two points
18049s	and you're at around 9.5 K as far as
18052s	mitigated damage you are putting in some
18054s	serious work uh in the tank position and
18057s	I I think that really uh we saw the
18060s	maturity come out once again uh and
18062s	taking that 1v3 being able to Shield
18064s	dance that's something from uh from
18067s	OverWatch one as an erisa player or a
18069s	sigma player that you learned it's part
18071s	of your of your take uh core uh what you
18075s	learn how to do how to be able to you
18076s	know dance and keep yourself alive
18078s	letting your team get back into the
18080s	fight it came out in Spades there man
18082s	I'm impressed I'm impressed I I'm yep
18084s	stonk's way up Papa Joe uh definitely
18086s	bullish on this player
18089s	yeah the other flow really really nice
18091s	coming out there from photos but
18093s	is the wrap-up of game number five for
18096s	today we are gonna take a quick little
18099s	break before you come back with the post

18431s	it's been a long day of OverWatch World
18434s	Cup 2023 online qualifiers and that last
18438s	match was insane to watch it's been
18442s	clean to an O Suite throughout the day
18444s	here guys for day number one and we're
18448s	gonna actually break down a couple of
18449s	these games look at the overall
18451s	statistics of how these matches actually
18453s	panned out first one we're actually
18456s	going to be starting with here is going
18458s	to be Chile versus Brazil and uh Chef
18462s	Billy I know that you were watching that
18463s	one from the sidelines oh yeah I mean it
18466s	was really really good here from from
18468s	Brazil and I mean five and one so I mean
18472s	they win uh the two maps on control and
18474s	get the full three points on Gibraltar
18477s	um I mean dalka was so uh dominant in
18481s	the tank position for Brazil so I think
18484s	for for team Brazil uh yeah if you
18487s	enable once again if you enable your
18489s	tank and you're looking at Lou if you're
18491s	looking at svenko being able to go in
18493s	behind that and he's ankle had a
18495s	disgusting Sombra
18497s	um I was really impressed with our DPS
18498s	lineup but I think the biggest strength
18500s	here for the Brazilian team is it's
18503s	going to be XFL on the honor the sleeps
18505s	were absolutely disgusting the
18508s	anti-nades were huge uh and sleeping as
18511s	Sombra uh with a little bit of a flick I
18513s	mean that was I think so far I think
18515s	that's like the play of day one for me
18518s	across all the games was that flick
18520s	sleep that xvil did uh I believe it was
18523s	on to uh
18525s	from Chile so I mean ROM uh did the The
18530s	Barrage nine
18532s	on on well they got
18535s	a mercy wasn't grounded and they weren't
18537s	close enough in proximity to the point
18539s	to trigger the overtime and get the flip
18541s	because they had won the fight
18542s	but they lose ilios on the back of that
18544s	so I I think that really set the tenor I
18546s	think Chile you know a Frack uh just
18550s	didn't have the same amount of resources
18551s	put into them I think lazu and Papo
18553s	really needed to get their uh get it
18555s	back together and really pump the
18557s	resources into Frac to be able to deal
18559s	with the forward aggression that was
18561s	coming from Doncaster but for them uh I
18566s	think for chile when they go into day
18568s	number two uh I think they need to be
18570s	very cognizant of making sure that the
18573s	resources for their tank if their Tank's
18574s	gonna go in that deep you've got to be
18576s	able to hold them up
18577s	oh that is for sure and that was the
18580s	really interesting part as well was even
18581s	looking at those statistics Chile was
18583s	coming out on top overall as far as just
18586s	pure numbers but Gompers that tells you
18588s	about how much the positioning really
18590s	matters being able to even like just
18591s	generally peel for your team and put
18594s	that pressure in which is something
18595s	Brazil we're really good at was just
18598s	that overall aggression
18600s	yeah overall aggression again something
18602s	that is heavily reliant on number one
18604s	your tank number two on your support so
18606s	you know you're kind of looking at again
18608s	this is kind of the trial of who is the
18610s	strongest teams and who are a more per
18613s	se kind of like The Underdogs uh that
18615s	need some of that development leading
18617s	forward into this grouping stages right
18619s	so again you get to see some of these
18621s	very colorful pictures and you get to
18623s	paint a picture as well as to who you
18624s	want to put at that top I think we saw a
18626s	very very good showing out of both of
18629s	these teams out of uh obviously you know
18632s	when you're looking at Brazil and uh
18635s	I'm brain farting and Chile it was those
18639s	two that really kind of put a staple in
18642s	my mind as to you know again this was
18644s	kind of one of the closest games that I
18646s	could have enjoyed
18647s	yeah and that's the thing that the part
18649s	that you were talking about
18651s	um both of you about just like that
18652s	General Synergy and just being able to
18654s	pull that all together and the
18656s	importance that that plays with Indie
18658s	matchup regardless of the numbers that
18659s	we see on the screen is the fact that
18662s	for the Brazilian team they had that
18664s	history together right Chef Billy that
18667s	really allowed them to have that extra
18668s	edge up where Chile we're just not quite
18671s	as polished because they lack that
18673s	chemistry sure and I mean we joke about
18676s	it a lot of times I get I get accused of
18678s	putting it out there a lot but the power
18680s	of friendship can honestly do so much
18683s	for a team because you have the
18685s	familiarity you have the comfort you
18687s	have the understanding of your other
18689s	players tendencies so I I think for uh
18693s	foreign I mean this is going to be
18694s	absolutely beautiful for them I I think
18696s	that they could really make a powerful
18699s	run through group b
18700s	yeah and especially considering the fact
18702s	that there's only those two slots
18703s	available but we gotta head over towards
18705s	the group a matches to do our little
18707s	analysis on them we're gonna head over
18709s	to that third game that we did see today
18712s	that was Canada versus the USA Chef
18715s	Billy I know you and I it was a
18717s	heart-wrenching loss Gompers definitely
18719s	feeling the dub there for USA Squad
18722s	I I did feel the job man and listen I I
18726s	saw you cash you were in a lot of pain
18727s	during that day
18729s	after we headed back to the cameras I I
18732s	kind of felt bad for you I'm not gonna
18733s	lie but listen they had a good fight
18734s	there there was that that
18737s	equality that I will per se but I did
18740s	feel like uh I was really looking
18742s	forward to see hydron on that Tracer
18744s	like I I kind of enjoyed the gameplay
18745s	that I saw at the DPS there especially
18747s	since we got some of that Echo action
18749s	which for me it's it's these really
18751s	diverse players and and heroes that I
18754s	like to see a bit more especially in the
18757s	compositions that we got to see
18758s	obviously uh or with liberty and the Ash
18761s	and I mean and the Anna kind of working
18763s	out for this team as well because there
18765s	had to be some of that backup for
18766s	ultraviolet I mean they were getting
18768s	targeted like like crazy so you know
18771s	when you're kind of looking back towards
18773s	that game and what exactly this team had
18775s	to do I felt like he would say they were
18777s	a lot more intact uh in terms of who I
18781s	guess I could consider the best team in
18782s	America's in general I I could say USA
18785s	for sure but uh man it's it's really
18788s	hard to say yeah they were they came in
18791s	guns blazing too right because we had
18792s	some doubters as far as like the general
18795s	Community due to some of the recent
18796s	performances from Toronto defiant and it
18799s	really came to show what they were made
18802s	of on that team sugar-free especially
18804s	stood out to me there on Team USA he was
18808s	an absolute Menace yes focused on the
18810s	Echo and Tracer but especially the
18813s	Tracer just continuously poking and
18815s	prodding on that plank onto that back
18817s	line some insane pulse bombs as well and
18820s	USA a big thing Chef Billy that Moxie
18824s	and Dustin kept touting was the fact
18825s	that they were just completely in
18827s	control of the tempo of the game I mean
18829s	they they took the team they took the
18831s	fights on their terms that was the big
18833s	tenor of the conversation all day long
18834s	is that it was on their terms uh they
18837s	decided when to engage they decided how
18838s	the fights were going to go the ultimate
18840s	rotation was absolutely spot on uh and I
18844s	think that the team Canada uh maybe a
18846s	little bit too much poutine in the mouth
18848s	but not enough spice
18850s	in their game oh no I'm just saying I'm
18854s	just saying uh I mean I I got a chance
18856s	to meet hydrant uh when they were at uh
18859s	when they were at Illinois State uh I
18861s	got to meet him uh in person uh got to
18863s	see a play in person and just the uh the
18866s	dedication uh I I think and the
18868s	intensity of hydron is something that a
18871s	lot of people you don't get a chance to
18873s	see it unless it's in a land environment
18874s	or if you're in person with them just
18876s	the fact that he was up against the
18878s	Dallas field of time well the fuel was
18880s	still in America and he was owning the
18883s	fuel so I mean I know the drive of this
18885s	gamer and he put it on display today big
18887s	time
18889s	yeah it's just the showing just the
18892s	individual prowess they're coming out
18893s	from cmusa but enough about that last
18897s	matchup we actually have to move on to
18898s	game number four I'm sorry I gotta keep
18901s	the show rolling as much as I'd love to
18902s	continue talking about it we gotta
18904s	revisit that Costa Rica and Mexico
18907s	matchup that we just saw that you guys
18909s	ended up casting in Mexico were so so
18913s	strong bumpers
18914s	they were they played immaculately when
18918s	you're looking at Mexico uh listen I
18920s	wasn't expecting kind of the stomp that
18922s	we saw I was expecting something
18924s	completely different come out of this
18926s	team but being able to kind of put two
18928s	and two together when it comes to who
18930s	you again like kind of like what I said
18932s	before you can connect to be the the
18933s	best team in said bracket it's it's nice
18937s	to know Costa Rica I think they put up
18939s	such a good fight but it really was
18940s	Angel volado with uh chobolux pushing
18944s	that DPS so far down their throats that
18946s	it became impossible to play
18949s	and I feel like it just really showed
18951s	the amount of effort and time that the
18954s	Mexico team invested in under that
18956s	midnight Banner there Chef Billy and
18959s	just the success that they found off of
18962s	that General investment with building
18965s	that chemistry over the last few months
18967s	during the trials to build teams for
18970s	each Nation
18971s	the big number that sticks out there for
18973s	me because the damage was almost
18975s	identical between these two teams the
18977s	big number is the eliminations it was
18979s	almost two to one in favor of Mexico and
18982s	that just really shows the focus and it
18985s	shows the comms right there that tells
18986s	me that they are playing as one hive
18988s	mind rather than five individual players
18990s	and you saw it timing time again I mean
18992s	right there that was my favorite play it
18994s	may not have been the it may not have
18996s	been the like the Z who are best play of
18997s	the day but I think that really
18999s	demonstrates what identity that Mexico
19001s	has right now is that they play as a
19004s	five they play for each other they're
19005s	not playing just for you for just for
19007s	themselves they're playing for their
19008s	team they're playing for their country
19010s	it's like cohesion something that we saw
19012s	locking from a few teams today overall
19014s	to be honest I don't want to show
19016s	anybody out specifically but it was that
19019s	lack of focus on knowing when to focus
19021s	on on one player that's being isolated
19023s	and actually following up on the picks
19025s	that you need because when it comes down
19027s	to it it with OverWatch the entire thing
19030s	is all about moving kind of like a hive
19032s	mind you are a unit the second that you
19035s	get staggered it's all over Gompers
19039s	it felt like that happened a couple
19041s	times too uh especially when you're
19043s	looking at Costa Rica as well but
19046s	it's super difficult to kind of uh
19049s	you know really see what exactly could
19051s	have worked out because again you saw
19053s	hodelo with some of those action plays
19055s	and action shots that really did allow
19057s	me to see okay there's potential here
19058s	with the DPS but it felt like you know
19060s	maybe the cohesion there with the tank
19061s	and you know the DPS or maybe the
19063s	support just wasn't there to assist was
19065s	uh one of the things that I felt like
19066s	were really falling apart so in terms of
19068s	what Costa Rica had to to utilize and
19071s	what they could do it was there it was
19073s	just not the money maker
19075s	yeah unfortunately there you got to make
19078s	sure that all your priorities are
19079s	unified here within OverWatch and now
19082s	heading on to the last game the one that
19084s	we just had the pleasure of watching
19086s	there between Puerto Rico and Guatemala
19089s	is that was a star-studded appearance of
19092s	course from Puerto Rico talk me through
19094s	the numbers Billy just look at it I mean
19097s	it's on your screen right now the damage
19099s	is only 15
19101s	000 apart right but look at the
19103s	mitigation and then look at the
19105s	eliminations that is uh what that is
19108s	five times almost more than what
19111s	Guatemala had so I mean that right there
19114s	is focus fire uh pure and pure and
19118s	simple and it it's them collapsing upon
19121s	a vulnerable Target and getting the work
19123s	done and then just steamrolling through
19125s	it's almost like the Lord of the Rings
19127s	where you see the ghost Army go into
19128s	Mordor and just completely annihilate uh
19131s	the dark kingdom there uh I mean that's
19134s	that's Puerto Rico just got in there
19136s	they got the job done and then they
19138s	moved on to the next fight
19140s	and golfers I gotta ask okay Puerto Rico
19147s	of course what would you say gomp is
19150s	what other teams are gonna have to look
19152s	out for to enable them to shut them down
19155s	and take down the supports lifting them
19157s	up
19158s	if you want to shut down a team like
19161s	Puerto Rico the thing you have to keep
19163s	in mind is uh you gotta have really good
19167s	healers backing up your tank you got to
19169s	have a support that is unbreakable and
19171s	again I feel like something that kind of
19173s	plays into that is um I think honestly
19175s	something that would have worked is
19176s	there wasn't a lot of damage coming
19178s	through for the tank here I felt like
19180s	they were playing way too heavy onto
19182s	again that Lucio and that Baptiste and
19185s	and maybe the Brigitte and the honor but
19187s	I felt like there should have been some
19188s	of that really high damage plays we
19190s	didn't get to see a mercy we didn't get
19191s	to see a Zen I kind of wanted to see
19193s	that I wanted to see them really have
19194s	that high damage boost to try to
19197s	actually counter what Papa Joe was
19198s	hitting for because it was impossible to
19200s	get the shield down and when they
19201s	finally did Papa Joe was already in
19203s	their faces
19204s	like like stuff like this like should
19206s	just not happen and if again it's that
19208s	lack of damage control
19210s	I can't get over I can't get over that
19213s	envir those environments we'll fix the
19214s	3K to come off of that boat Billy it's
19217s	just that's just gross there's no other
19220s	way you can put it other than just plain
19223s	disgusting I mean and it's disgusting in
19226s	the most wonderful way I mean for the
19228s	fans for the fans I mean even if you are
19230s	a team Guatemala fan you still have to
19233s	applaud that uh you have to applaud the
19236s	play and I mean if you don't then you're
19238s	a hater and you should you know go put
19239s	your nose in the corner or something
19240s	like that because you
19243s	the the 3K environmental I mean I mean
19246s	God has done it so many times uh in his
19248s	career and now we see uh light wolf
19249s	bring up one of their own I mean that is
19252s	absolutely worthy of it and I mean
19254s	zoolex you know we didn't mention their
19256s	name a lot and that once again you know
19258s	something that Dustin and Moxie said
19260s	earlier today is that if you don't
19262s	really mention
19264s	the the support line they're doing their
19268s	job and boy did they do their job today
19269s	Papa Joe was sitting you know wrapped in
19272s	the comfort of his of his support so I'm
19274s	just like they're there Papa Joe oh I'm
19276s	sorry you've got a scratch here you go
19277s	and and Papa John's like oh I'm done
19282s	well you definitely love to see it right
19286s	so just to take everybody through the
19288s	results of today's matches of course
19291s	like I mentioned before is a 2-0 sweep
19294s	across the board however coppers I mean
19296s	for day one of an online qualifier day
19300s	one in events in general that's when you
19303s	typically expect to see these kind of
19305s	score lines
19306s	yeah day one definitely just because
19309s	again you kind of have the groupies
19311s	against the group phase and there is
19312s	going to have to be that distinction as
19314s	to who is the strongest right so we're
19316s	able to figure that out and tomorrow we
19318s	actually have some spicy matchups so for
19320s	me like this is just the beginning
19323s	it is just the beginning however okay I
19326s	know we've talked about it before but I
19328s	think that the United States versus
19330s	Canada matchup was the one that everyone
19333s	was expecting to really go the distance
19335s	there's Chef Billy so when it comes down
19338s	to this Canadian Squad we do have to
19340s	talk a little bit about what they need
19341s	to do tomorrow uh don't crap the bed
19344s	that seriously I mean they absolutely
19347s	spaghetti all over the floor
19349s	uh unwillingness to adapt unwillingness
19353s	to uh coalesce as a five-man unit I mean
19355s	they were playing like they had
19357s	repelling magnets against each other so
19360s	uh I mean for Team Canada tomorrow
19362s	they've got to come back and just
19363s	completely put what was the Marquee
19366s	matchup of the Americas behind them get
19369s	to work uh and start taking their
19371s	frustration out on the rest of brube
19374s	no for sure but I'm Gonna Leave us say
19376s	your final words before you wrap up on
19378s	the broadcast numbers why don't you
19380s	start us off
19383s	it's for me honestly
19386s	[Music]
19389s	honestly brain farting honestly brain
19390s	farting but I guess I'll say more so
19392s	thank you guys for having me uh super
19393s	happy to be able to be a part of
19395s	obviously OverWatch World Cup not to
19397s	mention Americas right I got to see uh
19399s	Costa Rica Mexico right Guatemala all of
19402s	these again Hispanic representations
19403s	that really uh fit into being able to
19407s	see Puerto Rico pop off too was one of
19409s	the things where it's like okay you know
19410s	we got we got some good players so
19412s	United States Canada whatever they they
19414s	gotta watch out that's all I'm gonna say

19498s	[Music]
19507s	[Music]
19527s	the entire game
19531s	[Music]
19544s	swims
19546s	[Music]
19554s	[Music]
19554s	uit
19563s	takes away the doomfist doesn't get to
19565s	punch off who eventually punch but with
19567s	the Nana boost in brigitta and the diva
19569s	along here and nobody else alive that
19571s	ends Chili's push without that Ash
19573s	having to do him on the backside could
19575s	find some more but his name is
19578s	Chase is also immediate immediately
19579s	there
19580s	with that beam and it's too much damage
19582s	for Canada to deal with at the moment
19583s	they get immediately white just without
19586s	secret and false just backing up Seeker
19588s	does get delayed false does straight
19589s	back the loose button will also lose the
19591s	Mecca's USA flipped that point back in
19593s	the favor
19594s	no kills just dead he's also answering
19596s	it and is chased down but he backs up
19598s	now the bomb committed from the fire
19600s	secret as well
19603s	[Music]
19610s	[Music]
19616s	pulling it back out wow that's blossom
19620s	still now moving forward of course it is
19623s	enough to keep themselves intact here
19624s	for Mexico that was big we're just at
19628s	the car lot we're under two minutes this
19630s	is starting to look very dire already oh
19632s	and now it's even harder to try to get
19635s	away from this just needing fondella to
19637s	take his yeah
19645s	foreign
19654s	[Music]
19677s	actually getting healed up quite quickly
19679s	here is light weapon zulux making some
19681s	numbers out but the Dragon Blade coming
19683s	out and they managed to push it back
19685s	further it's a 2K to come down but it's
19687s	okay because you see that damage and you
19689s	see the potential they were leading up
19691s	to this
19691s	[Music]
19705s	thank you
19708s	[Music]
19725s	thank you
