1295s	thank you
1298s	and welcome back everyone to OverWatch
1300s	World Cup APAC group hey my name is G
1302s	clap with me we have unknown today's the
1304s	last day of group APAC group a it's
1308s	going to be an awesome day because we'll
1310s	find out who's on top who's in the
1312s	middle and who's at the bottom by the
1314s	end of this day exactly so today we have
1316s	three matches all six teams and the
1318s	group a are going to play we are going
1320s	to find out who's going to be first
1321s	there's nothing locked in in terms of
1323s	standings right now so we'll find out
1325s	who will be number one number two in
1326s	this group as the last match for the day
1328s	and but for the first match of the day
1330s	we have a Do or Die match we actually
1333s	have a showdown between Hong Kong and
1335s	Chinese Taipei to decide who is going to
1338s	be that last team to qualify for the
1340s	next stages of this tournament yeah
1341s	that's going to be one of the biggest
1343s	match for sure because we're always
1344s	saying even from the beginning a lot we
1347s	have the two clear favorite out of the
1349s	screw which already seems to be team
1351s	Japan and team South Korea but which
1353s	team which country is going to take that
1355s	third spot because we're a group a of
1357s	course we are going to to have top three
1359s	out of the six so it's going to be the
1361s	battle for that third place spot as
1363s	right now as if you missed the standings
1366s	it almost looks like if if someone had a
1370s	script written for APAC a I mean they
1372s	did a horrible job
1374s	no hey oh my God because it's it's too
1378s	good it's too good to be real and every
1380s	single match actually counts it's even
1382s	for even for the middle match that we
1384s	have here between Philippines and
1386s	Indonesia because they uh unfortunately
1388s	lost all the matches until today one of
1391s	the teams will actually be getting a win
1392s	at the end of that match number two of
1396s	tonight
1397s	so we will actually have some different
1399s	numbers and teams for now we have two
1401s	teams of four wins and two twos and zero
1404s	fours yeah so today we will again we
1407s	will be having the decider match on the
1409s	first match of the day with Hong Kong
1410s	conference going against Taipei Chinese
1412s	Taipei and like you said G clef one of
1414s	the teams Philippines or Indonesia is
1417s	going home today is going to be
1418s	unfortunately this will be the last
1420s	match of for them on the OverWatch World
1422s	Cup 2023 but one team will be going home
1425s	with the win I just want to emphasize
1426s	that for this year there's been a lot
1429s	more countries participating in the
1431s	World Cup than other years on previous
1433s	World Cups and I think this is going to
1435s	have immense meaning for them especially
1437s	the aspiring players on these kind of
1439s	teams that haven't had been a lot of
1441s	professional OverWatch experience before
1443s	so getting concluding this tournament
1446s	with a win even though if it's just one
1449s	win for them is going to have immense
1450s	meaning for them and it's going to be
1452s	very very important in their development
1454s	as a professional player
1457s	every single match I'm actually looking
1459s	forward to it very much because not just
1461s	it's going to change a lot of placements
1463s	it will actually show where they are
1465s	because they've been it's been two weeks
1466s	it is the last day out of the six days
1469s	that we had and a lot of teams every
1471s	single team they've been trying a lot of
1473s	different comps different things
1474s	different rosters depending on the map
1476s	and we have been pointing out a lot of
1479s	improvements throughout each roster and
1481s	what makes them special so I think this
1483s	is going to be the final proving day for
1486s	every single team and I'm very hyped for
1488s	it exactly and like he's such a clef a
1491s	lot of the teams and this group we've
1492s	seen all almost all the matches like you
1494s	see in the standings here
1496s	um we've seen a lot of matches come and
1498s	go and we've seen all of these teams
1500s	develop so so much and it'll be very
1503s	interesting to see how the conclusion to
1505s	all the Saga comes to get comes to end
1507s	and one thing to point out today is that
1510s	Korea or Japan they're undefeated right
1513s	now but one of them will be concluding
1515s	this tournament with a single out
1518s	it has to be because they're fighting
1519s	against each other top two middle two in
1521s	the bottom two that's going through the
1522s	matchup for today as you're about to see
1524s	that on the next screen but it's copy
1528s	pasta
1529s	plus eight zero zeros and minus eight
1532s	yeah I mean if you look at APAC B who
1535s	which played right before by our
1536s	wonderful casters pixie and April and
1539s	Domino and Domino as the host
1542s	um thank you but and so it was a little
1544s	bit more it was a little bit more
1546s	complex there were each team with I
1549s	think five one leading the pack
1550s	Australia and then there were four two
1552s	three three two one and one I'm sorry
1556s	two four and one five my math is failing
1559s	me here too yeah we have a lot of
1560s	numbers to talk about so that's a
1562s	schedule as let's call our first match
1565s	the third placement match I think that
1567s	fits the name Hong Kong versus Chinese
1568s	Taipei let's see who comes on top
1571s	because both teams are on an opposite
1574s	slope so to say I know you're going to
1576s	be uh talking a lot about that and in
1578s	the middle we have Philippines versus
1579s	Indonesia to finish off a pack a we have
1583s	Japan versus South Korea a match that we
1586s	actually have crowd all flying with the
1589s	players yeah this is well we're going to
1591s	go into the details of this match later
1593s	on g-cluff but Japan versus South Korea
1597s	is going to be hosted in the wdg Esports
1600s	studio in Seoul so South Korea team
1602s	South Korea will be playing in front of
1604s	their home fans so this is not only
1607s	going to be a land event it is going to
1608s	be a land event with fans and
1611s	unfortunately team Japan will be playing
1612s	online but it is still a hype because
1614s	we'll be having those
1616s	um crowd cheers and crowd signs at the
1619s	venue G clef you'll be able to see
1622s	all that today as we step into our first
1626s	match of the night is Hong Kong versus
1628s	Chinese Taipei and let's talk about the
1630s	teams because they had some stories up
1633s	and downs within the two weeks but well
1636s	comes out to be as long as you win as
1638s	long as you're just doing this final
1640s	match you move into that next stage yeah
1642s	both teams have been going up a little
1644s	bit ups and downs um Hong Kong has been
1646s	winning the first two matches on week
1647s	one and then they went to lose the next
1650s	two matches on week two but again it's
1652s	it's was against Korea and Japan and
1655s	type the Chinese Taipei here actually
1657s	had the same kind of schedule except
1659s	Theo was the other way around they took
1662s	uh they won against um Korea and Japan
1664s	on week one they lost all those zero two
1666s	and then next week on week two they went
1669s	um to play Indonesia and Philippines and
1671s	they all both won 2-0 so basically these
1673s	two are just mirroring each other in
1675s	terms of fixtures but Hong Kong right
1677s	now is on a little bit of a losing
1680s	streak because they were recently
1681s	playing against Korea and Japan and
1683s	Chinese Taipei who were playing Korea
1685s	and Japan earlier on are on a winning
1687s	streak so maybe there's a little bit of
1688s	a confidence level difference however it
1691s	looks like right now just on paper Hong
1693s	Kong should be
1695s	the match favorite here yeah it seems
1698s	Seems like it's so far but you never
1700s	know as Chinese Taipei they've been on a
1703s	roll at the winning streak and also to
1705s	point out on the the double Tracer it's
1707s	because they do let's open snow they do
1709s	ship uh on tracers and also light comes
1712s	in uh depending usually on uh escort or
1716s	hybrid later on so we'll see how that
1718s	works because we've seen the starting
1720s	roster from Hong Kong which was
1721s	Charmeleon crew me and r3km crazy in
1725s	mango Jai so we've seen a lot of work
1728s	especially the fact that Hong Kong's
1730s	relied heavily on those headshots from
1732s	Charlene either it's Genji Hanzo or may
1735s	he's usually the one opening up the
1737s	fight making it to 5v4 First a lot so
1741s	the pressure is there certainly this is
1742s	the last match and you need to deliver
1743s	right now yeah good puncher Cliff
1745s	because a lot of pressure is on the line
1747s	for this match right now because losing
1749s	this match means that you are this is
1752s	the end of the journey for you in the
1753s	OverWatch World Cup so it'll be
1754s	interesting to see especially like um on
1757s	key players like Shaolin like you
1758s	mentioned how they can manage these kind
1761s	of pressure high pressure situations and
1764s	for the lineup right now this is we're
1765s	going to lijiang Tower and we are
1768s	playing on control center here so maybe
1770s	a little bit of Rush on to be expected
1773s	on the side of Chinese Taipei I don't
1774s	think r3k is comfortable on the
1776s	Reinhardt maybe if they want a garage
1777s	they will go to the ramacha rush but why
1780s	not because I've we've seen r3k on well
1783s	r3k r3k is basically on the traditional
1786s	off tank roll and is has been displaying
1788s	a lot of comfortable displays on that
1790s	drunker Queen so I think this is going
1793s	to be maybe a chromie is going to swap
1795s	to the Tracer or the Sombra after the TP
1798s	but it looks like it is going to be a
1801s	junker Queen composition versus
1819s	so yes the immortality field was
1822s	attempting was a good attempt to save
1824s	Nexus but there was too much damage and
1826s	pressure on to Nexus so Nexus fell early
1828s	and that gave Hong Kong positional
1830s	Advantage for the side of Hong Kong and
1832s	they cap the first so it is going to be
1836s	a difficult task for Chinese Taipei to
1839s	make a Recon test maybe they have to use
1841s	good make good use of hopes TP to maybe
1844s	out maneuver Hong Kong but also Hong
1847s	Kong has that symmetra on their lineup
1849s	so it is it isn't going to be an easy
1851s	task however they are out trading Hong
1853s	Kong at the moment there was an early
1855s	window on the side of rainbow and I
1858s	think the that was a lot of value yeah
1861s	the early Matrix and Matrix just saved
1864s	Chinese type but in the long run Hong
1866s	Kong they're already back you still have
1867s	Moira do you have that early Rampage
1870s	with three both support line got caught
1872s	Nexus who hasn't focused so much in this
1875s	game look at the he bars of HP uh
1878s	Chinese Taipei oftentimes Hong Kong
1880s	they're actually not even hitting the
1881s	other four they have been focusing on
1883s	the Reinhardt only for the first two
1885s	fights even if they lost their DPS early
1887s	on they still continue to fight because
1890s	they had the Jungle Queen available with
1891s	the supports yeah so they used good
1894s	usage of their ultimates there they had
1896s	their ultimates online a little bit
1897s	earlier after rainbow used the window
1901s	they had the most Advantage for short
1903s	window of time and they use it to agree
1904s	their management now it's going to be
1905s	Chinese taipees
1909s	that was a good chatter so this so good
1914s	play by Chinese type A to make make a
1917s	good usage of their ultimates now they
1919s	are not over expending so they will have
1922s	mali's sound barrier and the blizzard
1924s	for the next turn and for Hong Kong it
1928s	is over they are already capping at 79
1930s	so I think they can give up by Fighter 2
1932s	uh the I I guess the main point of
1935s	question for Hong Kong will be on their
1938s	next fight and probably possibly the
1940s	fight after that as well they want to
1942s	bait out as much ultimates from the
1944s	Chinese type 18 as they can and then
1946s	they want to make it I guess win a
1948s	single t591 because they're already at
1950s	79 winning a team fight means that it's
1952s	going to be at least final fight
1954s	characters of course that Earth General
1955s	is the same Chinese Taipei but overall
1957s	doing the new future fight Hong Kong
1959s	they have been winning a lot more
1960s	there's a wall to isolate Joker Queen's
1962s	still staying alive blizzard with the
1964s	sound they were together that's a lot
1966s	used to counter Hong Kong gambling here
1968s	they're matching the ultimates and it
1970s	looks like they're winning the gamble
1971s	mango Jai with the two kills on that
1974s	coalescence looking for a third without
1976s	that rtk takes it but it's a win for
1978s	Hong Kong and it is definitely going to
1980s	be final fight territory they are
1982s	already approaching 90 off that point
1984s	yeah they did get 40. so knowing that
1987s	they had a few more ultimates to spend
1989s	we went all for it with the blizzard but
1992s	I think the sound Peter was a little too
1994s	early from now and I'm calling to come
1996s	back this shatter is very very important
1998s	this needs to register much
2003s	this is totally and even with the window
2005s	and the photo Chinese Taipei is using
2007s	their ultimates in desperation there but
2009s	Hong Kong is not deterred right now he
2012s	saw that false Kirby Falls yes maybe
2014s	maybe I maybe I spoke a little bit too
2016s	early they might be deterior only three
2018s	mainly there is a lot of standard or 3K
2021s	balls only the supports are meaning it
2023s	is overtime and Hong Kong yes they do
2025s	fall but they do have a sizable lead
2027s	here g-cloud still 99 Hong Kong all they
2030s	need to win is one fight and get the
2032s	point Chinese Taipei the positioning of
2034s	Chinese Taipei they were actually
2036s	holding the towards the higher stairs
2038s	off to the sides of Hong Kong they were
2040s	running around the circle they couldn't
2041s	really support each other on that fight
2043s	so kind of unusual in position for Hong
2046s	Kong as they still had crewmish only for
2048s	the first a few seconds of that fight
2050s	his Taipei needs to make action quick
2052s	because they know they don't have
2054s	ultimates they need to make a neutral
2056s	fight but that's awesome it's going to
2058s	secure it and Hong Kong it seems like
2061s	they're just gonna take it they were not
2063s	ready for this that's Blossom Shaolin
2064s	came out from nowhere
2067s	they thought it was okay to just engage
2071s	I think either Chinese Taipei needed to
2073s	be more far forward or just be totally
2076s	back like it has to be either of the two
2079s	because they know that Hong Kong had a
2081s	lot of ultimates and Chinese Taipei were
2083s	a little bit but a lot I mean they
2085s	weren't far away from their key
2086s	ultimates I think blizzard was almost
2088s	online and I think I I can't find which
2092s	I can't remember which one but there
2093s	were one more ultimate they had two
2095s	ultimates upcoming so number so either
2097s	they go far forward and win that fight
2100s	do the gamble so that they can buy this
2103s	and buy themselves more time for that
2105s	next round of ultimates or they fall
2108s	back wait until the they could wait
2110s	until Hong Kong contests the point and
2112s	wait for their ultimates to charge I I
2114s	think it was a little bit of
2116s	not be
2118s	too much a little bit in between
2120s	okay certainly as we move into the
2122s	second we actually
2125s	string that's a Reaper and a Cassidy
2127s	from the other side and that's going to
2129s	put some more pressure onto the Echo and
2131s	that's what we hope from Chinese type of
2133s	yards we keep going down early uh the
2135s	damage output from the vertical output
2137s	is actually a lot oh snow actually going
2140s	down from a single headshot that does
2142s	happen if you're a tracer yeah a tracer
2144s	doesn't have the most HP in the world so
2146s	it does happen so what I really wanted
2148s	to talk about right now G clef is about
2151s	um Chinese taipei's composition they
2153s	have a orisa I don't see I don't think
2155s	we've seen a lot of recess in the
2157s	qualifiers so far but I think it's a
2159s	really smart pick against the romantra
2161s	and I think Hong Kong agrees because
2163s	they dropped back to
2165s	jogger Queen
2167s	okay let's just survive what's that
2168s	damage somehow well I mean Marisa is a
2171s	very surviving survivable team if
2173s	anything so that is something to be
2176s	expected so if Nexus Falls super easily
2179s	with that eraser pick I would be very
2181s	disappointed however uh talking a little
2183s	bit more about the Ariza pick it is a
2185s	very effective counter to the ramacha so
2187s	Hong Kong good awareness out there of
2190s	positions composition and their win
2192s	conditions and trying to swap it back to
2195s	Kentucky Queen we've been seeing some
2196s	more orisa happening from the other
2198s	regions not as much in uh APAC 8 but the
2201s	echo Mercy being contested in the air
2204s	got some more kills happening from hope
2206s	so far
2212s	so that's going to be a lot of damage
2214s	for the side of Echo and Echo also has
2217s	that duplicate if they want to use it if
2220s	the longer the spike goes the better for
2222s	Chinese Taipei because there are the
2223s	ones with banana
2225s	actually this is a good choice
2227s	the more sustained more utility there on
2231s	the side
2232s	um
2233s	does fall I think that that is a little
2236s	bit of a I guess it doesn't matter I
2239s	guess it doesn't matter because they won
2240s	the team fight anyhow but
2246s	who did use the duplicate
2249s	I hope you use the duplicate and failed
2251s	but it was rest really quickly
2253s	um the important part is that out of all
2256s	this Hong Kong actually managed to flip
2258s	the point and it is going to be and
2261s	Chinese type a dolphin doesn't have a
2263s	lot of holes to work with they do have
2265s	the orisa alt and the valkyrie but Hong
2268s	Kong has a lot more value than last year
2270s	there is the early empathy taking Nexus
2273s	down Chinese type A they are they have
2276s	to regroup I don't think they will get
2278s	anything more from this fight yeah it
2280s	was a lot used both back lines just
2282s	keeping that Rampage from r3k that's
2284s	about it and Charlie and just doing the
2286s	cleanup Duty for the rest of the members
2288s	of Chinese I paid left on the ground and
2290s	forth to regroup but strange type is
2292s	still holding uh seven seven percent so
2296s	yeah so Chinese happy still has still
2299s	can't afford to lose a fight if that if
2301s	it means that they can bait out
2303s	ultimates from Hong Kong mainly the
2306s	Rampage over there so I think Chinese
2309s	type just thinking it's really quick
2310s	they just pop out the beat out the
2313s	Rampage from r3k and then go for another
2315s	fight because next fight they will be
2317s	having those ultimates the worst
2319s	scenario that Chinese Taipei can go with
2321s	is that they are installing the place
2324s	they are not starting up the fight at
2325s	all they lose
2327s	and they don't have the time make
2329s	another place that is a good aggression
2332s	for from the side of Nexus there Nexus
2335s	does fall but it is in the numbers
2336s	advantage on the side of Chinese Taipei
2338s	only snow gets that Rampage hit by the
2341s	Rampage but snow falls it is going to be
2345s	uh it is going to be similar numbers in
2346s	terms of fights for a Chinese Cafe
2347s	however Nexus I think was rest over
2350s	there and will be having that foot flip
2353s	and now it is going to be at least
2357s	I think it's going to be final fight
2358s	territory for either side
2360s	yeah orisa is such a good pick you're
2362s	not really contested in the building as
2364s	much r3k has been focused so much more
2366s	from snow compared to kumi's Sombra and
2369s	the in in the air fight marimo also
2371s	switch from Anna to kiriko a great
2373s	switch I would say because Anna off the
2375s	Packers took us by that Echo oh that was
2378s	a good spear on the side of Nexus and
2380s	Nexus we'll be having that ultimate
2382s	which is very good for defensive
2383s	Maneuvers but it doesn't find anyone and
2386s	Nexus false this is bad news for Chinese
2388s	Taipei and that would be good news for
2391s	on the side of Hong Kong
2394s	things that kill everyone is killing
2397s	everyone on the side of the Chinese
2398s	Taipei yes no answers back but will that
2401s	be enough I don't think so a lot of low
2404s	health bars on the side of Chinese
2405s	Taipei Nexus is turning to swapping to
2409s	the doomfist to touch
2411s	I
2422s	and that will be it Hong Kong takes the
2426s	victory from the first control well it
2428s	was it was a fight though G clef it
2431s	wasn't easy and although it it looked
2434s	like on paper it's just like Hong Kong
2437s	wouldn't very easily it I I think
2439s	Chinese Taipei actually put up a real
2441s	fight and a little bit I think the
2444s	difference between the two teams without
2445s	alt management alt economy management
2447s	alt discipline was a little bit better
2449s	on the side of Hong Kong so I think that
2451s	was the difference here on mechanics I
2454s	think the two teams are surprisingly
2456s	evenly matched I I'm really impressed
2457s	with how Chinese taipei's players were
2460s	playing mechanically a little bit on the
2462s	Strategic side like I mentioned alt
2464s	management a little bit of old
2466s	discipline and also composure there I
2468s	think Hong Kong even in high pressure
2469s	situations where it was simming scene
2472s	seemingly like a fight that they should
2474s	have been losing they were keeping their
2476s	cool they were doing making the right
2477s	using the right abilities at the right
2479s	time using the right ultimates at the
2481s	right time and I think that was a
2482s	difference that had that led Hong Kong
2484s	to victory yeah there were lots
2486s	especially on the first uh not the first
2487s	the second or a lot of hectic because we
2490s	had duplicates the fights in the air
2491s	fight on the ground on the point off to
2493s	the side and we can only catch us catch
2497s	too many so many at the same time but
2499s	Echo fight I think it was overall
2501s	slightly more win for a shot on the end
2503s	combo yeah for Hong Kong I think that
2505s	gave them a lot of boost benefits to
2507s	actually control the ground of course
2508s	orisa was one of the best picks for this
2511s	fight because was able to sustain alone
2513s	even without the support you can
2514s	actually sustain for such a long time
2515s	and Jungle Queen on the other side
2517s	against orisa did not really have a
2520s	great time contesting against and also
2522s	because it was of course because it was
2525s	a tracer uh you can't really Rampage
2528s	okay there was one but other than that
2529s	you can't really kill the Tracer by your
2531s	own on that point yeah not a lot of
2533s	value out of the drunker Queen pick
2536s	unlike the other maps that we've been
2538s	seeing on other performances that we've
2540s	been seeing from r3k r3k is a great
2543s	junker Queen player but this maps have
2545s	specifically there wasn't a lot of I
2547s	guess value I think it was more on
2549s	Shaolin like you said shaolan's Echo and
2551s	the other parts are about the team but
2553s	hey uh you know those are the things
2555s	that you kind of get can let down on
2557s	your next map you can you can just like
2559s	especially in these kind of um
2561s	short-term tournaments these are the
2562s	things that you can feedback later you
2564s	can get feedback on later for now it's
2566s	like hey we won it worked so everybody
2568s	good job let's go next and for also for
2571s	Chinese Taipei as well I think they were
2573s	playing surprisingly well so hey we did
2575s	lose Hong Kong did a little bit better
2577s	than us hey that's that's okay total
2579s	reset we can go next uh further uh I
2582s	guess yes like you mentioned I also want
2584s	to mention the Eraser pick here because
2586s	it addresses a lot of the problems that
2589s	Chinese Taipei was having we've seen a
2591s	lot of instances where Chinese type 8
2593s	wasn't even able to make a single team
2595s	fight out in a round or even a map
2598s	entire map because they were losing
2600s	members before before they were they
2602s	were regrouping as five and orisa with
2604s	those with that Superior Superior
2606s	survivability was able to make by the
2609s	time or survived long enough for Chinese
2612s	Taipei actually to goopers 5 and do a
2614s	team fight we've seen several key fights
2616s	in this first map in Legion and I think
2620s	that is I think Chinese Taipei is really
2623s	really on a positive direction because
2624s	they that this means I'm not saying that
2627s	orisa is going to be the best picker for
2628s	Chinese Taipei in the end but it means
2631s	that Chinese Taipei understand what is
2633s	not working on their side and they're
2635s	working towards it and I do agree as the
2637s	whole Chinese type 8 did have a lot
2639s	better team fight they were a lot more
2640s	coordinated plus the positioning of
2643s	their team fight they were leading Hong
2644s	Kong into the fight territory where they
2646s	had a lot more Advantage but not for the
2648s	second because the air fight actually
2650s	determined so much
2652s	and it was really hard to hard for the
2654s	supports to keep themselves alive and we
2656s	could see both teams okay you're gonna
2658s	bring an echo so we'll change into Echo
2660s	okay if you're going kiriko we'll change
2661s	into kiriko so there are lots of
2663s	follow-ups after immediate death which
2666s	we haven't seen from both sides for the
2668s	five days now because this one
2670s	especially because this one matters so
2672s	much so much that they will actually go
2675s	to the next stage or not exactly these
2677s	type of instant feedbacks are crucial I
2679s	I love it so far I love it so far Hong
2681s	Kong won the first map though let's see
2683s	if they can actually take us to our
2686s	first ever push if we get there yeah so
2689s	for us in APAC a we haven't done less
2692s	with the map three yeah even though on
2694s	our last day it has to be the day yeah I
2697s	mean it has to be the day where we'll
2698s	ever ever
2700s	see how APAC qualifiers a but uh Chinese
2705s	Taipei their backs are on the wall now
2706s	they are one map away from elimination
2709s	on this tournament they are choosing
2712s	your ball to watch Point Gibraltar which
2714s	is I think a very understandable choice
2716s	because uh if you look at the roster
2718s	Hong Kong doesn't have a traditional
2721s	main tank player r3k is a traditional
2724s	off tank player so we have been seeing a
2726s	lot of vermontra we have see we have
2728s	been seeing a lot of Jungle Queen maybe
2731s	sometimes even the Diva on maps like
2733s	Elio's Lighthouse but we haven't seen a
2736s	lot yes r3k does play the Winston a
2739s	little bit
2740s	but we it's something that you don't
2742s	expect r3k to play unless he's forced to
2745s	be and I think this map Choice kind of
2747s	forces r3k into playing the Winston
2750s	which I think is a clever choice on the
2752s	side of Chinese Taipei because Nexus
2754s	could definitely play the Winston yeah
2755s	Nexus has been known for his Winston but
2756s	on the other side r3k not as much on
2758s	Winston so you don't have to wait and
2761s	see how how well he's going to be
2763s	working with the teammates screw me
2765s	again on Cassidy and this time xiaomian
2768s	actually on Tracer which we haven't seen
2770s	not too many times only a couple of
2772s	times in the at the beginning and during
2774s	the summer series yep so xiaolan is more
2778s	we've seen a lot of better performances
2783s	but okay Hong Kong making a good push on
2787s	that High Ground huh I think that was a
2790s	good ending on the side of mango that
2793s	must have been it because
2794s	Chinese Taipei were already in the
2796s	defensive position and one of the best
2798s	ways to break that open is it good man
2801s	is it good anti-need and look at this
2803s	look at where the payload is g-clef it
2805s	is already close to completing point a
2808s	yeah fishing from the bottom and then I
2811s	guess when you say okay they just did
2813s	not expect that attack to happen that
2815s	fast as if they were expecting a sound
2817s	boost or something but there's no Lucio
2819s	on either side
2820s	so that was a little uh question mark on
2823s	my head still they can still defend
2825s	before the first point touch yeah they
2827s	are able to touch and I think that they
2831s	have the positional advantage on The
2832s	High Ground enough that they will be
2836s	able to turn this fight unless there is
2838s	a surprise kill somewhere from the side
2841s	I guess it has to be Kirby or maybe even
2843s	from Channel and after that pulse bomb
2844s	is ready which will be very soon
2848s	okay actually it is from the side of
2850s	Chinese Taipei so there is that much
2853s	sustaining taken away from the side of
2856s	Hong Kong however hope is taken out as
2859s	well so a little bit of damage output
2861s	lost for Chinese Taipei oh that was a
2864s	good crazy gun and Hong Kong can just
2868s	freely push and get touched the first
2870s	boy in the Chinese type base they were
2871s	ready but the better old economy for
2873s	Hong Kong gathered up early on from
2876s	winning the first fight very hard yeah I
2878s	mean Hong Kong I think it was a good
2880s	understanding of how I guess a good old
2882s	tracking and good understanding of the
2884s	situation because they know that they
2885s	have the Nano early they know that they
2887s	have the advantage although Chinese
2889s	Taipei were in a good defensive position
2891s	they know that if they use the Nano
2894s	Winston they will it should be just
2897s	enough for them to kind of Zone them out
2899s	or take them out to because they don't
2901s	they only have so little to push for the
2903s	captain and they want to continue
2904s	pushing there's that rage just to push
2907s	them oh goodness
2910s	it was awesomely failed from the sign of
2913s	Mali as well it was a combined effort
2915s	from the support line of Chinese Cafe so
2917s	there this is going to be Chinese Knight
2919s	base turn now at the moment without that
2921s	direction available it's still is Dragon
2923s	strike Nano and rally don't have to use
2925s	all of it just have to just has to go
2928s	all the way and Hong Kong this is going
2930s	to be their first team wipe of Gibraltar
2932s	finally Chinese Taipei has the
2935s	opportunity to stabilize a little bit
2936s	and with that with High Ground Control
2938s	already established there and also they
2941s	have alt Advantage they have the dragon
2944s	strike they held the Nano they have the
2946s	rally as well yes Hong Kong will be
2948s	having their key ultimates online soon
2949s	but it so this means that Chinese Taipei
2952s	has to use this short window of time to
2954s	make any advantages that they can
2956s	there's still three minutes left and
2958s	yeah that ends anti towards the back
2961s	line it just hurts so much they mixes
2964s	his Nano yo so they're there were two
2967s	ultimates expanded on the side of
2968s	Chinese tepei I don't think it was I
2971s	think it was well used not a terribly
2972s	waste of ultimates there they just use
2975s	what they needed to win this fight
2976s	however it is going to be very scary now
2978s	because Hong Kong is approaching four
2980s	key ultimates and I definitely think
2983s	that language I will want to go with
2984s	that Nano after that Nano is completed
2987s	they want to Nano the Winston
2989s	[Music]
2991s	thank you
2992s	has been having a lot of these
2993s	assassinations on his own that's a real
2996s	Tracer that we'd love to see it all all
2998s	day okay snow with with the absolute
3001s	heroics there because like I said G clef
3004s	Hong Kong was approaching a lot of the
3006s	ultimates and what I think what Hong
3007s	Kong was waiting for was that hey we can
3009s	just poke around a little bit and get
3011s	some damage not I mean just get some
3013s	moderate damage dealt by the other team
3015s	and get that healing up so mango J has
3018s	that Nano so after that Nano they wanted
3020s	to pull the aggression trigger however
3022s	snow also also understood what Hong Kong
3025s	wanted to do so they sneaked up at the
3027s	back and just took out the back line of
3030s	Hong Kong delaying them even further
3031s	yeah this could be one of the harder
3033s	points to push on Gibraltar here as Hong
3036s	Kong they're getting it ready still
3038s	pushing the anti not following up with
3040s	the damage but a shot from Nexus with
3042s	anzo roomie falling down means that a
3045s	lot of damage is going to be missing but
3048s	Hong Kong decides they want to commit
3051s	because they are using the Nano on the
3053s	Winston I hope it's terribly low and
3057s	there goes Raymond Raymond as well Maui
3059s	was trying to save everyone with the
3061s	rally but was not enough I don't think
3064s	there are any further casualties on the
3066s	side of Hong Kong but they do have to
3067s	give up round
3069s	yeah they will continue to push actually
3070s	the response not that far away so
3073s	they're going to come and contest again
3074s	uh Postman just to get them out of the
3077s	way so they can't come in
3080s	so delayed there's a sleep Dart and the
3082s	ball's blocked by locked by I'm crazy
3085s	there what a shot
3087s	okay so despite Chinese taipei's best
3090s	reference here
3092s	um Hong Kong did manage to push although
3094s	a cap would be but to be honest I think
3096s	it was a pretty solid defense for the
3099s	side of Chinese Taipei because I think
3101s	they they held like two full minutes
3104s	there it was such a big time bank when
3106s	Hong Kong capped 0.8 so even though
3109s	there were in the end they had to give
3112s	up point B it was a good defense and
3114s	they have something to they have things
3116s	ingredients to work with towards
3118s	preventing that full cap yeah Chinese
3120s	taipe now with results you have to
3123s	manage it and here comes next is first
3124s	with Nano you actually push the back
3126s	line all the way they're kept pretty
3129s	yeah well managed by R3 Kashi coming
3131s	back to the back line protecting the
3133s	Nano once again good play of lamaly to
3136s	delay but it only delayed the unevitable
3139s	and Nexus is down I don't think Chinese
3141s	type 8 does have enough Firepower and
3144s	the tank power and the support power
3145s	whatever you want to call it they don't
3147s	have it okay let's go
3149s	okay
3154s	it wasn't a C9 Snow's there there's hope
3157s	of the fashion Bastion take it down
3162s	crew me on this High ground there's no
3164s	one's contesting here damaging very very
3166s	comfortably somebody has to take care of
3167s	that but no nobody is there it looks
3170s	like this
3172s	personal is not able to keep that up and
3175s	that's gonna be full three-pointer for
3177s	Hong Kong on Gibraltar
3179s	wow okay so there was a little I think
3182s	this kind of shows like the both the
3185s	highs and lows of Chinese Taipei Chinese
3186s	Taipei did a good job on defensive
3188s	positioning on little uh on like key
3191s	moments but in the end it was a little
3193s	bit of the slip ups that kind of gave up
3195s	a lot of things for example on the very
3197s	first fight it they just they were in a
3201s	good position to defend they just got
3203s	dismantled by mango giant with that
3206s	single with with a single day anti-need
3209s	and after that after they give up point
3211s	a they give up I think they give up
3213s	almost half of point B right after that
3215s	they they weren't even able to stabilize
3217s	but after the initial long push of Hong
3221s	Kong they made some really really sick
3223s	plays and they got to stabilize and they
3227s	took about like took off two minutes off
3229s	the clock time bank for Hong Kong I
3231s	think that was a really impressive
3232s	defense and one of the Honeys for
3234s	Chinese Taipei however after one Domino
3238s	fell it just feels like it just felt
3240s	like there were no breaks and like the
3241s	entire dominoes fell so I think if they
3244s	can keep if they can remember what kind
3246s	of good moments they had and what kind
3249s	of plays what kind of coordination what
3251s	kind of communication that kind of kept
3253s	them in the good spots I think they will
3255s	be in a lot better space but let's talk
3257s	about Hong Kong here G clef they were
3258s	really impressive individually and also
3261s	teamwork they were on they were all in
3264s	line to wait for their turn
3267s	keep the olds only use it when it's
3269s	available when it's available and when
3271s	they have to use it they're responding
3272s	slowly but because they didn't have to
3274s	use it which was better time 10 years
3278s	first of all your r3k I'm testing here
3280s	but that's actually false first did not
3282s	make it back it does happen when you use
3285s	the projector a little too early and
3288s	when your back line especially is
3289s	confessed by someone else
3291s	as I wanted to point out that Chinese
3293s	Taipei individually mechanically we've
3296s	seen some great moments especially from
3298s	Tracer and also Nexus 3 Momo Mountain
3300s	they all had their moment in the first
3302s	half but in terms of teamwork the
3304s	coordination was just not on the same
3305s	page compared to Hong Kong yeah also I
3308s	think one of the key factors of success
3310s	for Hong Kong right now is that R3 case
3313s	Woodson is actually pretty impressive I
3315s	I I'm good I'm getting Goosebumps too
3317s	yeah so usually we would think r3k as a
3320s	player that is you know usually more Pro
3322s	Elephant on the drunker Queen on the
3323s	Ramon trap we've been talking this
3325s	pre-match right however it looks like
3327s	r3k knows I mean yes there was that
3329s	oopsies for getting slept and getting
3332s	geeked off the map but
3334s	in general he knows where to jump he
3336s	knows how how the back how to harass the
3339s	back line like this right now like
3340s	yesterday mama is getting a hard time
3342s	yes he's sled but in the end the
3344s	follow-up damage is there for the side
3346s	of Hong Kong so once again credit to r3k
3348s	for being in the right places and the
3350s	right time yep still with the projector
3352s	good listen always jumps back and comes
3355s	back to his teammates and that's our 2K
3357s	for now next was trying to do the same
3359s	but here's snow one of the crucial
3362s	moments that we saw that pulse bomb
3363s	landing on to if it happens multiple
3365s	times that is going to be the biggest
3367s	chance for a Chinese for push or 3K
3370s	needed so was unable to get healed and
3374s	there again there is what you wanted he
3376s	called fringy clap man you got it the
3379s	snow pulse bomb so it looks like it will
3381s	Chinese Taipei will be able to cap point
3383s	a unless Hong Kong pulls a miracle
3385s	unless in and does the same there's a uh
3388s	on the payload with Misses Big Time
3392s	nanoi Tracer would that be enough to
3395s	it's actually working the other way can
3398s	you stay paid they backed up
3400s	drawing online says okay this is a line
3402s	you don't cross here the moment you
3404s	cross you're going to go down as you you
3406s	know Hong Kong already had less members
3408s	to contest
3409s	well yeah so this is we're seeing one of
3412s	the bright sides of Hong Kong I don't
3413s	know rather because excuse me Chinese
3415s	Taipei here and if you look at the old
3417s	sister Chinese Cafe is actually in on
3422s	the advantage and Nexus early Nano onto
3425s	Nexus means that the backline of Hong
3427s	Kong will be very very stressed out and
3430s	without the back line here I think Hong
3432s	Kong has to back away and that's a
3435s	little bit more free push on the side of
3436s	Chinese Taipei I think it's time where
3438s	we have some hero changes coming out
3441s	from Charlie Leonardo Genji Hanzo
3443s	anything
3445s	we'll be okay compared to Snow's Tracer
3447s	I think I don't think Charlene Tracer is
3449s	as impactful uh in this matchup for now
3452s	and a spot for crew me trying to come
3456s	into the trunk points r3k slept very low
3459s	but is able to get that heel back
3462s	roomies Bob is there to zone out any I
3466s	guess I'm guessing it is to zone out the
3468s	members of Chinese Taipei away from the
3470s	payload but that is going to end and the
3473s	am crazy is starting with the rally
3476s	maybe for the extra sustain snow falls
3479s	but also r3k falls and Arthur gay
3482s	falling with 95 on that Primal Rage
3484s	means that there's a lot a lot of oh man
3488s	I have positioning denied on the side of
3490s	Hong Kong
3494s	towards the end but without that Hong
3497s	Kong actually was not fighting at the
3499s	right place so on the other side with
3501s	their defending they're playing
3503s	r3k is there to contest and he has the
3506s	Primal so he can buy some time for his
3508s	teammates to join the fight snow has
3511s	that pulse bomb already he has been a
3513s	very big threat with the pulse bomb
3515s	every single time especially this map so
3518s	he is definitely one to be looking out
3520s	for
3523s	gaining a lot of additions on The High
3525s	Ground so that's good for grooming but
3528s	when he's Taipei they don't care they're
3529s	just going in
3531s	stick but it took out groomy and big
3534s	knee from Rainbow Mo there yes mango
3537s	giant Falls but does give an M crazy the
3540s	Nano before she falls that is going to
3541s	be a little bit more sustained for the
3543s	side rankings if I increase he falls and
3545s	Chinese Taipei despite Hong Kong's using
3548s	a few ultimate stair will be able to
3550s	take one b and one look at the time bank
3552s	G-Class in his three minutes and I think
3555s	if they can make it if they can make
3557s	point three done Point C done in two
3559s	minutes they'll be having a bigger time
3562s	bank than Hong Kong yeah three minutes
3563s	actually not bad
3565s	to push all the way for that three
3567s	points Chinese Taipei it depends if they
3570s	want to rotate okay but here comes on
3572s	First and here comes that Germany and
3574s	Genji with that we have been waiting for
3577s	the last few minutes yeah we can't get
3578s	High Ground Control as much here yeah so
3581s	I think after point B which is like all
3584s	about High Ground after that after they
3586s	give up point B they're like okay scrap
3588s	this we're just doing what we really
3589s	want really do well our 3K back to his
3592s	trademark director Queen and Shelly I'm
3595s	on the Genji like you mentioned we have
3596s	seen a lot of bright moments on this
3599s	aspiring player on the Genji pick and
3601s	look at crew me as well crew me who was
3603s	was not doing was was doing really well
3606s	was not doing bad on the ash however
3608s	they know that Nexus and this Winston
3611s	dive has been very threatening so they
3613s	are oh
3614s	there this is what we want to see from
3616s	Shaolin going back to the reaper pick we
3619s	are seeing that they really want to
3620s	counter that Winston pick because they
3622s	they address it as a threat now it helps
3625s	back to Echo now Nexus will have huge
3628s	amount of pressure jumping anywhere
3630s	towards the back line of rimum and maoli
3632s	because there will be creamy available
3634s	near that back line I don't think krumi
3636s	is going to be the one initiating unless
3638s	there's a death Blossom it'll be a
3640s	little somewhere Charlie and ready with
3642s	the blade okay I think they might want
3645s	to wake this out a little bit because
3647s	this is going to be very threatening
3648s	especially on the back line if the
3651s	backline of Hong Kong will not be able
3653s	to have any support because
3655s	the Nexus is gone oh so that was the
3658s	opportunity for challenge to take that
3660s	blade but xiaolat is taking out for Remo
3662s	so it will be a little bit of a stalmate
3664s	until both members both teams get their
3666s	members back yeah soon Hong Kong's going
3668s	to have all five votes there we go we
3670s	have that locked in Chinese Taipei they
3672s	only have a pulse if snow can actually
3674s	have a wonderful fault that would be
3676s	nice but here comes
3680s	one two okay so then anti-grenated so
3685s	could it really deliver more but two
3687s	certainly enough as they're still
3689s	keeping the other four just to keep the
3691s	time bang and rtk is showering buck
3695s	shots on the members of the Chinese
3697s	Taipei so after xiaolan took out team
3700s	members of Chinese Taipei it was clean
3702s	up Duty for the rest of Hong Kong and
3704s	look at the ultimate bars there are four
3706s	ultimates unless they just decide to
3709s	okay let's just press Q it will be at
3712s	least two fights in the favor of Hong
3714s	Kong in terms of ulti colony of course
3717s	every time old economy doesn't guarantee
3720s	a win so they will be rushed they will
3722s	be having to use their alts very
3723s	carefully however it looks very nice on
3725s	the side of Uncle there is that Rampage
3727s	taking out hitting two and it looks like
3730s	they're all going to connect into kills
3732s	and Ray Momo as
3734s	yeah this is gonna be it there's death
3735s	blossom still okay hope is Hope actually
3738s	flat over and got here somehow but it's
3740s	not even close to payload and used to be
3742s	on end game
3745s	the second just for the touch
3752s	it seems like it's just not enough let's
3754s	see the fight here as Hong Kong use all
3756s	the ultimates the only Birds no gone
3759s	Nexus I'm about to go down then he said
3761s	hey they were just not gathered up not
3762s	ready for this final fight
3766s	well you know I mean what can you do
3769s	there's not much you can do if there's a
3771s	four ultimate fight right but yes I do I
3775s	do agree that Chinese type it could have
3777s	positioned a little bit better I think
3779s	it because the time bank was thinking
3781s	there was so little time remaining
3783s	uh we didn't really they didn't really
3785s	have I guess enough composure they were
3788s	a little bit panicked and they just did
3790s	what they thought individually was best
3792s	and it didn't really add up to the best
3794s	results as a team but we wanted I want
3798s	to phrase Hong Kong here especially on
3799s	that to point C defense you can see here
3801s	this is the venue this is the wdg
3804s	Esports Studio waiting for that South
3807s	Korea game and they're also here to
3809s	watch the other matches of the group as
3811s	well yep Hong Kong with the win today
3813s	and they're going to be securing that
3815s	third placement spot that was the most
3817s	important thing about this matchup and
3820s	congratulations to Hong Kong they're
3821s	actually moving to the next stage
3823s	exactly well thought Victory well
3825s	thought qualification they will be going
3828s	up against the greater teams on the
3830s	other side other parts of the world so
3833s	we don't know how group stages is going
3835s	to look like right now but it looks like
3836s	Hong Kong is ready to take that next
3840s	step into their tournament and this is
3841s	going to be a great development great
3843s	step towards their development as a
3845s	player as a team in the world stage
3847s	because
3848s	putting like playing in a bigger stage
3850s	like this always is a great experience
3852s	not just learning you can do well maybe
3855s	I don't know how Hong Kong is going to
3856s	do on the group stages we have to we
3859s	have to see a little bit more to kind of
3860s	make a prediction on that but what I can
3863s	guarantee is that the players of Hong
3866s	Kong there are some experienced players
3868s	like mangujai there are some new players
3870s	like shellan they will all trust this
3872s	experience and it will be a great boost
3875s	towards their career and also for
3876s	Chinese Taipei the fall against Hong
3879s	Kong is not going to be making it into
3880s	the group stage from the qualifier but
3882s	still we could see especially on the
3884s	first control they have done a lot more
3886s	homework was ready for uh to go up
3888s	against Hong Kong but at the end Hong
3890s	Kong was just better prepared in terms
3891s	of composition and what you can actually
3894s	do in Gibraltar we could still see uh
3896s	Chinese Taipei is still struggling to
3898s	find the right hero for the right for
3900s	the last standing fight it was just not
3902s	able to deliver that's our first match
3904s	of the night but we still have two more
3907s	matches so don't go anywhere guys we
3909s	will be right back with our second match

4440s	to World Cup qualifiers for APAC a here
4444s	I'm G clef with oh no we just went
4446s	through our first and it was actually
4448s	the third placement decider congrats to
4450s	Hong Kong Chinese Taipei did go down to
4453s	zero and now we are actually on to a
4455s	match of the bottom two teams Indonesia
4458s	Philippines who's actually going to who
4460s	do you think is going to take this one
4461s	out well it's going to be a very very
4463s	difficult prediction to Major Club
4466s	because uh I mean no disrespect or do
4469s	teams the two teams they have been not
4472s	showing like I I guess they have been a
4475s	little bit low on confidence because
4476s	they have been going against a stronger
4478s	teams teams that are stronger than their
4479s	power level however I think this is
4482s	going to be I guess one of their biggest
4483s	chances best chances to well one team is
4487s	going to go home with a win on their
4489s	belt uh exiting this tournament so maybe
4493s	if I have to make a bold decision maybe
4496s	Indonesia because I think Indonesia have
4498s	been competitive and against some teams
4499s	like Hong Kong I still think I I think
4503s	also that Indonesia is a little bit
4506s	ahead on the race because they have a
4509s	round one on control
4512s	um so maybe Indonesia but I think it all
4514s	goes down to who kind of adapted better
4516s	to their weaknesses who addressed their
4518s	weaknesses better
4520s	um up coming up to today because we've
4522s	seen a lot of improvements coming on
4524s	both teams and I think maybe if that
4527s	accumulates and which team kind of makes
4530s	the better adjustment here it kind of
4531s	will be taking today's match yeah I also
4535s	on on yesterday just re-watching the
4538s	matches that happened for day five and
4540s	day four Philippines Indonesia I think
4542s	they have been making pretty uh first of
4545s	all they were both doing a lot of
4546s	homework against the opponent for the
4548s	next day and because today's the last
4550s	day and they have all the data to use on
4552s	any map they are going to play be
4555s	playing on control or hybrid or hybrid
4557s	escort they will go into possibly the
4559s	push
4560s	good another this could actually be our
4563s	first push there's a definitely a
4565s	potential for that but I do have to
4567s	raise my hands just slightly like by
4570s	like 48 to 52 and 52 does go to
4573s	Indonesia for me too as they had a lot
4576s	of a lot more Shining Moments from the
4578s	DPS line and I think that's going to be
4580s	the main difference between the two
4582s	teams again and professional I guess in
4584s	professional play we at that at this
4586s	level of play you want to consider not
4588s	only the mechanics but also the Tactical
4590s	and strategic
4592s	um points of the game right so if you
4594s	look at the rosters here I've seen I I
4597s	I'm just looking at my rosters here and
4599s	it looks like Indonesia has a little bit
4600s	more flexibility uh Indonesia was a
4603s	little bit more comfortable playing
4604s	these flyers so they're not all not only
4606s	are they just able to play the
4608s	traditional metacoms they are also able
4610s	to throw in a little bit of the carve
4612s	balls here and if you look at the DPS
4613s	lineup here uh walk down Redux they're
4616s	all very good players but I think I've
4617s	been a little bit more impressed by
4619s	speed 75 and maybe sometimes even
4621s	proxies on the Flyers and so it looks
4624s	like Indonesia will be looking like the
4626s	favorites on my opinion but again G clef
4629s	these are very two closely matched teams
4631s	it will be interesting to see how both
4633s	teams fare especially now they're going
4636s	against teams that are similar in power
4637s	level previously these two teams have
4640s	been playing against teams that are
4642s	clearly above their power levels the the
4644s	stronger teams than them so
4647s	yes they were struggling but it was to
4649s	be expected but now I think these are
4652s	the teams that they think hey if there
4654s	is a team that I can beat in group a
4656s	it's going to be you I think both teams
4657s	are gonna be on the same thought so it
4660s	will be interesting to see how they play
4661s	that this this is going to be for the
4664s	honor of getting the first win from the
4666s	qualifiers as the opening uh starting
4669s	roster for Indonesia proxy speed 75 Zach
4672s	ROM friendly and shrimp so it might have
4675s	to be a little careful because uh there
4679s	is a chunny from Philippines and there's
4681s	Chen Lee from Indonesia so don't be
4684s	confused guys as here we've been talking
4686s	about I think the one of the strength
4688s	that Indonesia has that Philippines does
4690s	not have is the two DPS that's able to
4693s	who are able to play the flank onto a
4695s	level where we they can actually focus
4697s	and get those snipe kills that rotates
4700s	quickly enough where they can actually
4701s	manage to combat after that kill that's
4704s	hustle from Indonesia which we have seen
4706s	on stage compared to that Philippines
4709s	they weren't uh doing it as much and we
4712s	couldn't really see that much about uh
4715s	teamwork on the same page so I think
4717s	that is the big difference between the
4719s	two I agree so Philippines they need to
4721s	work on staying together as a team this
4723s	is pretty much what I've said uh similar
4725s	to what I've said to Hong Kong going
4727s	again oh well Taipei Chinese Taipei
4728s	going on against Hong Kong they need to
4730s	keep they're all five of their members
4732s	alive together in order for them to
4734s	actually make a team fight happen so
4736s	we've seen multiple times where pugbud
4739s	and looked were just picked out taken
4741s	out before there was a team fight so I
4744s	guess the biggest homework the biggest I
4747s	guess task for Philippines right now
4749s	will be that hey we need to group up we
4752s	need to actually make a fight we need to
4753s	make alt economy matter and happen so
4756s	well that's this is definitely going to
4758s	be a big viewing point for me and here
4761s	we are at Nepal wow so that brings me
4765s	and the other side of things though for
4766s	Philippines they can actually control
4768s	slightly more towards the air uh the in
4771s	the air character like Pharaoh Echo
4772s	we've seen a lot more of those from
4774s	Philippines so so we're talking Nepal
4777s	which means that Philippines might
4779s	benefit slightly more depending on if we
4782s	have sanctum or not to begin with
4784s	again yes sanctum is a little bit of a
4787s	map on Nepal where we don't have a lot
4789s	of Flyers but yes uh G clef you have
4792s	what you wanted you have Shrine so this
4795s	is a map where we can actually have a
4797s	bit of a flyers here as you can see
4799s	proxies is hovering the
4802s	at the Pharaoh here and also looked with
4805s	the Pharaoh as well I think well to be
4807s	honest I I have to make a little bit of
4809s	a disagreement with you G clef I think I
4811s	actually do think that proxies is the
4813s	better flyer although both teams have
4815s	not been making a lot of these flyers
4818s	kind of work out I do think that
4821s	um it is I think this coming into this
4823s	match I think they'll be both viable
4825s	okay we'll see as after the teleport
4831s	so we'll have the Pharaoh Mercy fighting
4833s	in the air and actually torbian
4836s	from Enoch's expecting that fire to come
4838s	out
4839s	well Indonesia or both of the teams I
4842s	think were expecting each other to go
4843s	with the pharmacy or at least the echo
4845s	here because Indonesia we have
4847s	Eva which is also going to keep the
4849s	other pharah and check also speed 75 on
4853s	the Cassidy here which is a hit scan
4855s	hero and we have walked down and general
4859s	down here so no resurrect here for the
4861s	sign of Philippines so Indonesia will be
4863s	taking that first place and also now
4865s	it's gonna be in the first half as well
4867s	yeah that must be the pretty nasty shot
4869s	in the air if you win that if you land
4871s	your first rocket against the opponent
4873s	pharah oh man that feeling is one of the
4876s	best
4877s	yeah so I think this is also one of the
4880s	advantages that when you have the diva
4882s	you can deny the damage from the other
4885s	Sarah and we can see the Philippines
4887s	okay we're not going to win the pharmacy
4890s	duel here because diva is in play yes so
4893s	what is going with the echo instead Echo
4897s	is generally considered a counter to the
4900s	Guerra so but it is still it is still
4904s	very vulnerable to the diva so it's
4906s	interesting to see how a Philippines is
4909s	going to play this out because uh if you
4911s	look at the Philippines here they are
4912s	going with the ramatras so they are
4914s	putting a little bit more emphasis
4916s	towards the ground forces however
4917s	Indonesia there is Zekrom on the diva
4920s	who can fly with the pharmacy and have
4923s	air superiority and Cassidy who is able
4927s	to not only shoot Targets on the ground
4928s	but also very deep fairly comfortable
4931s	shooting targets on the air as well
4933s	there is the barrage with a lot of value
4936s	there and this is gonna be yet another
4938s	stall for this side of Indonesia
4940s	Philippines has to regroup and this
4942s	means at least 70 for Indonesia here oh
4945s	man that was going to say even after
4947s	those air air fights I mean there's what
4950s	now on Echo but it also depends on how
4953s	much help you can actually get from the
4955s	other DPS speed 75 on the Cassidy but we
4958s	don't sound that Soul turn because once
4960s	you hit that barrage once you hit that Q
4962s	button you're just uh basically standing
4964s	in the air sometimes you get immediately
4965s	taken out but that was with the straight
4967s	amount of support from the back line uh
4970s	trendy and shrimp from Indonesia I don't
4972s	so this proxies is taking down I don't
4976s	really like this I don't really like the
4978s	sojourn pickle on the side of
4979s	Philippines because yes they're right to
4982s	be charged up right click will be able
4984s	to take down proxies however there are
4986s	the default left click is almost like a
4990s	projectile so it will not be as easier
4993s	to Target Airborne targets like the
4995s	Cassidy that's 100 zero it is paying off
4998s	like this this this is I think this is a
5001s	strat win on the side of Indonesia they
5003s	were building a good composition over
5005s	the pharmacy they have Diva to protect
5009s	the pharmacy in case Philippines also
5011s	want a air-to-air fight so I I think
5014s	this is not just a not just a win for
5018s	execution on the side of Indonesia I
5019s	think it was a planning win on the side
5021s	of Indonesia here yeah look at the look
5023s	at the HP bar it actually almost went
5025s	and went down to a single digit for
5027s	frosties with the support keeping it up
5029s	with the barrage but as you said even
5032s	from the first fight the matchup just
5035s	certainly went better for Indonesia they
5037s	were ready they were with the early
5039s	Divas Philippines they reacted to the
5041s	team com but oftentimes it was already
5043s	too late there was too much built up
5045s	from Indonesia before that second fight
5048s	before the third fight okay it is
5050s	proxy's lucky day today because we have
5052s	a village on the second round that is
5054s	not going to be Shrine so that means
5055s	proxies will be able to do that Pharmacy
5057s	again and Philippines here they I think
5060s	they understood I think maybe they heard
5062s	what I was saying because there are
5063s	reduxes coming with the Cassidy instead
5065s	of the soldier in here which I like a
5067s	lot better because this is able to put a
5070s	little bit more at least a little bit
5071s	more pressure on side of pharah however
5073s	puckman is still with the
5075s	um is still going with the joker Queen
5077s	instead of the ramacha now so this means
5079s	still on the tank side of things
5081s	Philippines will not be having any
5083s	anti-air capabilities oh we don't
5085s	incredibly low there but was able to
5087s	keep
5088s	the distance uh with the hills coming
5090s	from kiriko back line and tie on
5092s	TalkBack but still alive with the
5094s	support now Indonesia Force back after
5096s	losing that Eva but still you can make
5099s	things happen which you can actually
5101s	land those Rockets from Vera
5104s	being up as what takes another Target
5106s	Mercy gone one HP from shrimp
5109s	shrimp looks like he's gonna survive to
5112s	see another day however so this is going
5114s	to be the true test for Indonesia right
5116s	now we remember g-club that I've been
5118s	talking about okay this is why this is
5121s	why Echo is generally concerned
5123s	considered a counter to the Pharaoh
5125s	however if going back to the initial
5127s	conversation here if this is going to be
5129s	the true test for Indonesia because now
5133s	now that they don't have the point
5135s	anymore they have to very maneuver very
5138s	carefully because this air composition
5140s	air composition is only valid when you
5143s	have control of the point and thanks to
5145s	the efforts of zecom and shrimp they
5147s	finally got the point back and so it's
5149s	going to be in a little shot so this is
5151s	going to be an advantageous position for
5153s	the side of proxies and Indonesia here
5156s	okay
5157s	just it's like as if he's just doing
5161s	things on his own not even communicating
5163s	with the teammate okay I'm actually in
5165s	the air guys shooting at the right
5167s	target leave me alone I'll do my part
5169s	and you guys come support me and so far
5172s	it's been working great I'm sure there's
5173s	a lot of communication but the shots the
5175s	predicted because it's projectile you
5177s	have to predict the movement of the
5179s	opponent so far from the proxy Sparrow
5182s	one of the one of the best we have in
5183s	the tournament
5184s	a little stick there weren't a lot of
5187s	there weren't a lot of cases where the
5189s	air composition actually worked out I I
5192s	do remember Sparkle doing wonders with
5194s	the spare pick but I think this is going
5196s	to be the second Pharaoh or Pharmacy
5198s	that I'm actually really impressed with
5199s	here
5201s	that's it for the point Philippines
5203s	getting some more percentage you
5210s	it's over but surprisingly the point is
5215s	on the side of Philippines and they are
5217s	approaching almost matching Indonesia's
5220s	percentages here so and it looks like
5222s	they are going to be ahead now very very
5225s	soon and yeah switching over to Echo now
5228s	as you have pointed out that zekko has
5231s	been contesting against that power
5232s	pretty well and speed 75 75 now oh no
5236s	Sombra which is I think kind of
5239s	interesting because we've usually seen
5241s	speed 75 only on Tracy sir
5247s	however the earlier aggression from
5249s	Zekrom makes sure that Indonesia will be
5252s	on a numbers Advantage yeah moving the
5255s	right hole there and yeah without
5257s	without the echo without the mercy of
5258s	the back line of if you have Cassidy
5260s	with just a kiriko you're not going to
5262s	be able to survive that was some damage
5265s	yeah I think that was a good
5272s	however it wasn't enough because
5275s	Indonesia with the early aggression Nana
5278s	Winston onto the back line of
5280s	Philippines I think it was a good dive
5282s	there and interesting to see how
5283s	Indonesia adapting to changes the
5286s	Philippines were making here I thought
5288s	yes the Pharaoh was really well I think
5291s	um proxies and speed 75 were doing a
5294s	good job on with like running the
5296s	Ferrara composition however that power
5299s	composition only works when we have firm
5301s	control over this well over the point
5304s	once you are contesting the point it is
5307s	not as effective
5310s	positions and good adaptation from
5313s	Indonesia yeah there was that Rampage
5315s	onto chin Lee only and that's 99 the
5318s	second control going to Indonesia
5321s	getting the first map off of Philippines
5324s	yeah again once again good strategic
5327s	proportion on the side of Indonesia I
5329s	think not only the execution was on
5331s	point I think it was a lot a lot of the
5333s	wins contributed can't contribute can be
5336s	contributed on the side of tactical
5338s	preparation here the Pharaoh Mercy
5340s	especially on Shrine was really really
5344s	impressive and also on Village it was
5346s	also great but what impressed me more is
5348s	that hey they know the win conditions of
5350s	this fire comp that you know that ferret
5353s	compositions work when you have
5355s	uncontested control of the point if the
5358s	opponent has a composition or is playing
5360s	well to the point that you have to be in
5362s	a position to contest the point then
5364s	pharah mercy is not going to be as
5367s	effective so they understood that they
5369s	understood okay these are our win
5371s	conditions and
5372s	um okay on Village this isn't really
5374s	working out so this is not going to be a
5377s	check this is going to be a triangle
5379s	maybe or an X so we're we're swapping
5382s	compositions we're making those
5384s	adaptations and we're going to take that
5386s	one and that is the most impressive part
5387s	from Indonesia that I've been seeing
5389s	this entire tournament yes Philippine
5391s	tried to do the checkpoints one at a
5393s	time but if you do one at a time a
5395s	little too slow oh the opponent's going
5397s	to hit that 100 a little too a little
5398s	too soon before you actually make that
5400s	switch but because it happened for
5402s	Philippines of course they actually made
5404s	that Echo switch early on which I liked
5406s	a lot they were actually getting control
5408s	a lot more towards the especially the
5410s	air and then the other three actually
5412s	staying under control they ended up
5414s	getting almost done too I believe 88
5416s	which was very close that's also because
5418s	Indonesia they let that happen by
5420s	controlling the air but with that
5422s	percentage I think they could have
5423s	shifted more towards staying on the
5425s	ground after after was it proxy is
5428s	switching over to Echo then you know
5429s	okay if I have to contest 1v1 Echo Mercy
5433s	it's gonna be tough I had the first same
5435s	moment in the very first map
5437s	so maybe staying on the ground could
5439s	have been a better option towards the
5440s	very end towards the very end I agree
5443s	um Philippines there were a lot they
5445s	were looking a lot more comfortable of
5447s	course when they again compared to when
5448s	they were playing against the top teams
5450s	on the group however they just kind of I
5453s	think they were a little bit cut off off
5454s	guard over there I think they were
5456s	expecting the for our Mercy but not the
5458s	Diva on
5460s	um Shrine early on and Village they
5463s	fared a little bit better the ramacha
5465s	wasn't phenomenal but did its job and
5467s	after the drunker Queen it kind of it
5469s	was good enough to force changes on the
5471s	side of Indonesia I think if Indonesia
5473s	was not reacting quickly enough I think
5476s	that round might have gone to the
5478s	Philippines but necessarily I don't
5480s	think Philippines played bad it was just
5482s	that Indonesia made the right
5483s	adaptations at the right time so credit
5485s	to where it's due Indonesia played a
5487s	little bit better on map one now
5488s	Philippines will be able to choose map
5491s	type and map so it'll be interesting to
5493s	see how they fight back it's also very
5495s	important to when your opponent is
5497s	actually changing a lot of a lot of the
5498s	theme comp you need to follow up and
5500s	change up the tank going back into the
5502s	Winstone later on that was very smart of
5504s	course it was just Cassidy kiriko we
5506s	mentioned uh we mentioned during uh
5507s	during the game that sometimes it's just
5509s	not enough you need to have the Brigade
5511s	oftentimes or even with the Anna you
5513s	have to be contested because oftentimes
5515s	when you have your own tank and also
5517s	echo in the air they're not going to be
5519s	covering up for you the rest the other
5521s	two they have to survive on their own
5522s	but when there's a nano Winston or
5525s	anyone anyone else along with that
5526s	instant like a tracer or Sombra they're
5529s	just close to no way of surviving that
5531s	so it's just worse and worse Indonesia
5534s	knew the answers every single time when
5536s	Philippines they were still struggling
5538s	to find some answers exactly so maybe I
5542s	think to kind of I guess Target the
5544s	specifically the pharmacy comp maybe
5548s	um I think the answer for on the side of
5550s	Philippines was hey we can actually win
5552s	the aerial 2v2 and then we'll be having
5555s	air superiority so hey fellow Indonesia
5557s	how are you going to deal with that but
5559s	in the end I think it kind of that kind
5561s	of kind of failed so maybe like you said
5563s	G clef maybe you can use the other use
5565s	the pharmacy comp the other way around
5567s	hey we are actually going to Target not
5569s	the fair composition but
5571s	the three members that are on the ground
5573s	so maybe a quick Rush comp might be
5577s	available to work it depends on what's
5579s	the map is going to look like oh okay I
5582s	am getting some updates so maybe they
5584s	are some subs they are tracking my I
5588s	don't want to brag here but they might
5589s	be actually on to be at the same idea as
5592s	I have right now so yes I'm gonna spoil
5595s	this a bit so the next map is going to
5596s	be shambali Monastery this is a map that
5599s	Russia is very viable and it's not
5601s	necessarily the best map to play
5602s	Pharmacy or the echo Mercy on that
5605s	matter as well so maybe if if Indonesia
5609s	does decide to go with a pharmacy they
5611s	can just um Philippines can be like hey
5612s	we're going full dive or full Rush
5615s	rather and then we're going to decimate
5617s	the ground members of our team hey if
5619s	you're on the air you can't touch the
5620s	payload so I think maybe that's going to
5622s	be the Stratford so I think this is
5624s	going to be the worst song Worst moment
5626s	as Philippines when you go into hybrid
5628s	Esco once there's a push from the
5630s	payload I think we slightly lean more
5633s	towards Indonesia because those double
5635s	flank and the Winston has been deadly
5637s	even against some better better teams in
5639s	the tournament as Philippines compared
5641s	to that not at the same level I think
5643s	the map one control was certainly the
5645s	map they should have taken if they had I
5647s	think they literally had the best chance
5649s	of taking that away from Indonesia uh
5651s	compared to the other modes that we have
5652s	so they're actually in a bigger trouble
5654s	as Indonesia they will be looking
5657s	forward a lot more a lot more of those
5659s	Sombra Tracer I'm I'm guessing that
5662s	those are going to be it unless we have
5663s	a specific map for other Heroes
5666s	we and for Indonesia we I think we might
5670s	have that little change here and here
5672s	just to mention you guys
5674s	um there are so the third match of today
5677s	is going to play played on On LAN at the
5680s	wdg Esports studio in Seoul so and
5683s	they're also fans so they they will be
5685s	waiting for that Korea Japan however the
5688s	other matches are going to be played
5690s	online so the reason why you saw the
5693s	venue here is that because there are
5694s	fans who are waiting for that third
5695s	match is also watching this match online
5698s	and But to answer you guys questions on
5701s	chat the Philippines and Indonesia is
5704s	playing on online so unfortunately it
5706s	would have been awesome if they played
5708s	on land at the whg sports Studio but we
5711s	love to have players all the time but
5713s	they're online yeah so we will get to
5716s	our third uh match of the night you'll
5719s	be online and the next map we have is
5721s	going to be shambali so let's see what
5724s	both teams are rated up for
5727s	I'm waiting to see those hovers here oh
5730s	and we have substitution coming on yes
5732s	sjs I think this is the first time that
5734s	we I think so yeah sjs is his first
5737s	appearance making his first appearance
5739s	on the World Cup qualifiers here and we
5741s	are seeing GC on the tank I wait what's
5745s	GC GC was uh yeah yesterday so this is
5750s	going to be a second appearance on
5769s	let's see who comes out to be the better
5772s	Hanzo sjs or Redux on either Team Speed
5776s	because
5777s	thinking about Genji we'll see about
5779s	that
5781s	okay both teams are running through
5783s	matcha here which isn't a surprise but
5787s	what I'm surprised here with is that
5789s	Philippines is not doing a spawn Camp
5792s	Strat so they're letting the payload go
5795s	until the corner however
5798s	uh not a lot of anti-air methods for the
5802s	side of Indonesia so maybe if they can
5805s	make this Pharmacy work they will be
5807s	able to have a good time here let's see
5810s	how they want to confess
5812s	using Genji you've seen some amazing
5814s	place from Genji that can take out
5816s	pharah but that takes a lot of
5818s	conditions and situations to allow that
5821s	at the current moment it looks like
5823s	Batista is going to be the one having to
5825s	take down the barrel however Indonesia
5828s	is taking the ground forces first Hanzo
5832s	down both support lines and Genji
5834s	actually using his time in the air to
5837s	take down the Farah 75 with the manner
5841s	there and also sjes actually got a
5843s	headshot on to Mercy hello I believe uh
5846s	Jenna's Mercy was in the air at that
5848s	moment so a full team wipe Indonesia
5851s	free push
5852s	for the first point I think they can't
5854s	test for point a here and walk this down
5857s	again
5858s	is this a hand is this guy a handful
5861s	mask master I mean where has this Hanzo
5864s	been all this all this time I've been
5866s	mastering his shots you can only it only
5869s	takes so much practice
5875s	they really can't at the moment so
5878s	switch I'm not actually thinking about
5880s	switching over SGS sjs is the man of the
5884s	moment right now he is making these
5885s	crucial kills happen and Philippines is
5889s	can clearly not deal with this man
5893s	look I almost forgot that Mercy too
5895s	Annihilation for the push and GC cleans
5899s	up everyone on the ground Philippines
5900s	pushed all the way back to free push for
5903s	Indonesia from beginning to now to be
5906s	honest I don't think that Annihilation
5908s	wasn't necessary but it anyway it got
5912s	two kills and it is going to be a free
5914s	push on the side of Chen Lee on the
5916s	Lucio is the driver right now he's just
5919s	like he's he's not been doing much he's
5920s	been driving the car right just DJing on
5922s	the payload and Philippines they changed
5924s	back into main finally he could because
5927s	he can and yes there is going to be a
5931s	lot of ultimate speed views on the side
5933s	of the Philippines that is going to be
5935s	the window and uh do I see a
5937s	Annihilation here maybe
5939s	actually going to hold it
5942s	a lot of his teammates already dead and
5944s	their Force needs to be off the points
5946s	and the payload touches a second
5949s	locked in speed oh Cassidy just going
5952s	all the ways he still thinks that's that
5954s	he's playing Tracer the DPS players are
5957s	popping off on the side of Indonesia
5960s	here at sjs with the early kills
5962s	Hedgehog kills all the members of the
5964s	Philippines got them this far up to
5966s	point B and when Indonesia wanted to
5968s	actually cap point B speed 75 on the
5971s	Cassidy came up and make those hit shots
5974s	happen and oh man I don't think
5976s	Philippines is being able to cope with
5978s	the pace that Indonesia is putting is
5980s	testing them with right now yeah this is
5982s	looking to be one quick game and that
5985s	was actually hit from Hanzo again he
5986s	does uh with uh with Lucio was able to
5989s	take out that hanza finally and
5991s	Philippines using that Now ladies
6000s	oh even without that Lucio they still
6003s	managed to win without that sound
6004s	barrier and it has to be gently himself
6007s	spreading that Ajax says okay it
6011s	switches over to think of things about
6014s	switching over but he's okay there's
6015s	that window with the annihilation to
6018s	keep everyone away from the Palin
6020s	however he is frozen and oh good not
6024s	enough damage
6027s	that's it three-point from Indonesia
6030s	Philippines even though he was right
6032s	next to them they just could not kill GC
6035s	because there's that step to keep keep
6038s	that damage off
6041s	how long did that take a 357 left oh
6045s	that was a huge time bang that's fast
6047s	that is I mean it I don't maybe we do
6050s	you have to check if that's the record
6051s	or not I don't think that is going to be
6053s	a record because we have seen a lot of
6055s	fast pushes on
6056s	shambali so far but wow I mean I'm
6060s	really impressed as not
6063s	I'm really impressed with the sjs here
6065s	because this is his first performance
6068s	this is his first map in the OverWatch
6071s	World Cup where has sjs been all along
6074s	they never had to play that this is a
6077s	secret weapon yeah and I think I have
6079s	this Lethal Weapon within them and they
6081s	didn't use it so far well I mean I'm
6084s	glad we can see him here now because
6085s	he's having a good time
6089s	uh what is this chat Shenanigans I like
6091s	to eat Chinese
6093s	going back and forth the back lines also
6096s	having fun at the same time uh this is a
6099s	thing as
6102s	Indonesia they've been sorry well I mean
6105s	it's good to see them have fun uh-huh so
6107s	this is I mean this is I mean yes this
6109s	is a competition but you know this is a
6111s	cliche of it's all about the friends
6113s	that we make along the way right and
6115s	it's going to be one piece
6117s	that's going to be I wasn't about to say
6119s	it but no spoilers but of course we
6121s	don't know exactly what the ending is
6123s	going to be like but here we go those
6125s	gates open little beans let's see how
6127s	quickly they can push once again the
6129s	defending science this time Indonesia is
6131s	not electing to go forward and do the
6134s	spawn cap so this early cart is going to
6137s	be moving away from the parking lot and
6139s	getting to that corner uh both teams are
6142s	going with the ram Rush with uh
6145s	Indonesia a little bit of the variance
6147s	with the Genji there
6151s	alive but not for long as much are still
6155s	focused and speed 35 keeping that High
6158s	Ground as she has smoking from the side
6160s	and worst news
6163s	yeah Philippines you have to back
6165s	Retreat all the way back to the spawn
6167s	it's really really interesting and
6169s	impressive on the side of Indonesia
6171s	because I just realized they don't have
6173s	a Lucio so this is not a rush
6175s	composition however they are making the
6179s	tempo happen oh there is that sneaky
6181s	shrimp shrimp is looking for that
6193s	yes shrimp does Fall and it looks like
6196s	GC will be falling as well but what is
6197s	sneaky I mean
6201s	actually far as battle he's still alive
6203s	somehow I thought the entire team was
6205s	dead
6206s	he survived he does
6211s	so now Philippines will will be able to
6213s	push the payload a little more like yeah
6216s	do you have to be careful
6219s	I mean I think they can go all the way
6221s	up to the corner
6222s	and but I think the big fight is going
6224s	to be on that corner as well because
6225s	Philippines will be having the ultimate
6227s	so ready especially the question is
6229s	going to be whether Puck but can get his
6231s	Annihilation or not it looks like he's
6234s	very low but he will be able to he will
6238s	be able to survive Indonesia is pulling
6241s	the trigger first because they know that
6242s	punk was Ultimate is going to be online
6244s	soon and blizzard is also going to be
6245s	online soon as well to be 75 using that
6249s	Bob to take out Redux and the next fight
6251s	they're probably going to be sjs's
6253s	nanoblade on incoming
6256s	coming
6258s	anytime they want the only old that's
6260s	not available is Ash that was just used
6261s	Philippines also
6263s	stacking up okay there's blizzard the
6266s	blizzard
6270s	not even hot okay hot at the right time
6272s	gets the blade and there she is can't
6275s	really find the right target after the
6278s	barrier finds one so that's about it
6282s	pretty nice timing of that sound barrier
6284s	from Geno but I think in the end it's
6286s	Indonesia who profits here because not
6288s	only do they
6289s	delay the time take away time of the
6291s	time back on the side of Philippines
6293s	they also it's basically a traded
6296s	ultimate and then they got a kill after
6298s	that so I think that's that's a good
6301s	thing Indonesia and also the fact that
6304s	GC will be able to have that
6306s	Annihilation without G without Jenna's
6310s	uh sound barrier it is going to be very
6312s	difficult to defend against and also we
6314s	we didn't mention it wasn't a nano but
6316s	it was just a blade so it is going to be
6318s	a nano annihilation
6328s	who actually picked up multiple kills
6331s	with the mind displacing the back line
6334s	of the room yeah once they're actually
6336s	stuck in the room it's a perfect time
6337s	for the junkrat to actually bounce off
6339s	and get those free kills even if you
6341s	don't exactly Target dude oh nice if
6344s	that is gonna deny five seconds that's a
6346s	pretty nice nap oh
6358s	it is the last potentially the last
6360s	fight for the for the Philippines and
6363s	Indonesia here
6365s	keep it up Annihilation actually getting
6368s	a few more walk from the air takes down
6370s	10 Lee shrimp very low from the back
6373s	line and romantra will be able to pick
6375s	up yeah with locked finally there's that
6378s	team white for the first point
6381s	yes Pogba is trapped but he can be
6383s	trapped very happily uh because they
6386s	have kept that first point and it looks
6389s	like we have a pause Chun Lee hasn't
6391s	this okay it is actually Jenna who is
6394s	disconnected from the game so maybe you
6396s	have some connectivity issues uh I don't
6398s	this is I'm not hearing a lot of thing a
6401s	lot of things from production right now
6403s	but usually no news is good news and and
6406s	certain in these kind of circumstances
6407s	because usually in these kind of
6409s	circumstance in these kind of situations
6411s	when the production kind of speaks to us
6413s	in here it's like oh we need you to talk
6415s	a little but we need you to delay a
6417s	little bit no that's fine it's fine we
6419s	learned a pretty good spot for Anna and
6421s	now that's been revealed I'm gonna use
6423s	that on my screen check that spot every
6425s	single time no I'm but you know I'm not
6428s	going against you so I will be using
6430s	this yeah you play support right yes I
6432s	am myflix support so I am I learned
6434s	something today all right so I also
6436s	learned something today to keep an eye
6439s	for eye out for these kind of animals
6441s	staying on that spot he ended up dying
6443s	very quickly though they actually found
6445s	him right after the biotic grenade yeah
6447s	there weren't a lot of follow-up damage
6449s	and I think the mortality field was
6451s	there to kind of buy some time so good
6453s	so lesson kind of okay lesson learned
6456s	use that spot only when there isn't a
6458s	Baptiste on the other side
6460s	so maybe if there wasn't Baptist maybe
6462s	if there wasn't that immortality field
6464s	then that might have actually worked out
6466s	really better yeah but I was actually uh
6468s	wandering off uh going to another topic
6470s	here but I was wondering when
6471s	Philippines would actually change me I
6474s	thought at the beginning there was some
6475s	still some room for them to actually
6477s	okay let's go back to what worked uh
6478s	slightly better from control from our
6480s	first half and there's lots of school of
6482s	fair mercy and actually try to contest
6484s	or even some uh action with some other
6487s	Heroes that's potentials potential or
6489s	some potentials because they were
6490s	getting blocked from the spawn but they
6493s	at the end after using all the time bank
6496s	they just got the refill of 230 and they
6501s	might not have enough time towards the
6502s	end because at uh the first half
6504s	Indonesia did push all the way with 357
6507s	left yeah they have less time bank than
6511s	there than Indonesia's like end game
6514s	time bank so it's definitely going to be
6516s	an upheld fight for them but I mean
6518s	still yeah you have to play for the win
6521s	so
6522s	even though it's overtime just making
6525s	that cap happen a full cap happen is
6527s	going to be the goal for the side of
6528s	Philippines I I'm not necessarily sure
6532s	if they're going to stay with the
6533s	pharmacy because point two is kind of
6535s	like not to open space so it they have
6538s	so Pharmacy will be having restricted
6540s	areas of movement
6543s	um maybe they will they will go with the
6545s	double flankers maybe I don't have I I'm
6548s	expecting to see a change though yeah
6550s	still Hanzo seems to be okay throughout
6552s	the point ABC and possibly pair that uh
6556s	with uh we don't flank uh we've seen
6558s	some tracers not too many from
6560s	Philippines so I think it's they're
6563s	still kind of debating debating what
6565s	they should go for on the second point
6566s	because they have less than 230 now and
6569s	that that uphill seems to be the big
6572s	challenge for a lot of these teams
6574s	maybe walked might want to go to the
6576s	Genji so yeah Genji is basically not bad
6579s	against junkrat uh if Genji just Dives
6582s	in he could just have a freak easy kill
6585s	if there's no support for two seconds
6587s	and junkrat will be in a comfortable
6589s	position you know that slide just up
6591s	here up here and then you can just toss
6593s	just shoot at any wall and eventually
6596s	it's going to hit something
6597s	that I'll be very boldier that is a very
6602s	silver-minded silver don't mind it away
6606s	from the top window you can actually
6608s	shoot down and use the wall to actually
6610s	hit off the target the middle ground in
6612s	between the slopes so there's a lot of
6614s	angles that you can uh from coming from
6616s	the old junkrat Master uh you can
6619s	actually use those things I thought you
6621s	were the Hanzo Master though where did
6622s	the Hanzo Master go uh that was old old
6625s	times
6629s	those two
6631s	arms and the old old times
6633s	yeah
6634s	back in the days of of the OverWatch one
6638s	those were the days man I can't be as
6640s	good anymore so I'm just laying it out
6642s	there I can't call myself Master but sjs
6647s	those aim if you can hit those Targets
6649s	in the air two out of three shots uh
6652s	that that's awesome like one out of
6655s	three is still pretty good if you're
6656s	aiming for anyone in the air
6658s	Okay so we've been having a little bit
6661s	of debate on what Philippines might use
6664s	but I I might have I might have a feel I
6667s	might have a feeling that Pogba might no
6670s	no what might stop can it be stuck on
6672s	the pharmacy because I I remember that
6676s	he had about like 80 entrage so maybe
6680s	you'll stick on it maybe charge that and
6682s	get 20 more and just immediately used
6686s	and switch over to anything else I think
6688s	uh they can benefit a lot more from any
6690s	more hit scans or some more blinks oh I
6693s	just I just had to do what I stress
6695s	thought maybe match the junkrat
6698s	junkrat oh my God that's gonna be
6700s	something that's is that going to be
6702s	like Torio versus torbian I mean we
6704s	actually seen or being a president
6706s	because scorpion is like when the double
6708s	flanker meta was in full swing in
6710s	overall in the OverWatch League scorpion
6712s	was kind of like a pick to counter that
6715s	so
6716s	we've seen moments or
6720s	Caribbean like terbian mirror was
6722s	actually happening but I don't think
6725s	we've ever seen a junkrat v junkrat
6728s	mirror not in recent days maybe
6731s	sometimes in Legion uh I I let me let me
6734s	search my memory here
6735s	2021 Lee Jong tower control center I
6738s	think we've seen junkrat marrows maybe
6740s	and it was also uh Jenna who was on that
6743s	Lucy who actually uh had some connection
6745s	issue I believe and and I think it was
6748s	also yeah you know she pulled that sound
6751s	barrier off pretty nicely both of the
6754s	time first half in the second half
6755s	it was actually not the one doing the
6758s	Ajax wait um no chenley was the one with
6762s	the Ajax and
6764s	um
6765s	and Jenna was actually having a good
6768s	um barrier against to protect their
6771s	teammates against the Dragon Blade
6773s	although it was not nanoed it was still
6775s	a good measure for uh against a
6778s	countermeasure against the Dragon Blade
6780s	here and we are I'm hearing from
6782s	production now now
6784s	that we know that this is going to be a
6786s	little bit a longer issue jenno is
6789s	currently disconnected and well okay so
6792s	let me get you the story here Jenna was
6795s	disconnected and we were looking at why
6797s	and it was a lot it was a storm actually
6800s	coming up uh there was a storm in his
6802s	area and the internet was disconnected
6804s	for a bit but now it is where I'm
6806s	hearing that things are fixed and that
6808s	we will be in game okay like a real
6810s	storm not like a rage storm right like a
6813s	real physical like a physical weather
6815s	storm in his area okay just to make sure
6818s	not a rage storm I mean it was not a
6820s	mouse I mean a Lightning can always take
6821s	out the powers I mean that does happen
6824s	and it does take some time to get the
6827s	electricity back from depending on which
6829s	neighborhood you're in so let's just
6831s	wait until all right okay this is my
6835s	this is the last day of qualifiers so
6837s	yes no pajama pants I want to actually
6839s	stand up here I have jeans on here guys
6841s	nope oops no pajama pants I am going to
6844s	keep that uh private
6847s	just to be just to be safe
6850s	[Laughter]
6852s	for you guys okay we are back in game
6855s	and no it's actually looked at 97 on the
6859s	barrage so we will be I don't I mean
6862s	I'll be very surprised of what which
6863s	swap to another hero here but we are
6866s	one-thirds on point B here progression
6869s	here and
6871s	uh let's see
6883s	all the way towards the back end
6887s	the fans Redux but wait in the meantime
6890s	nobody
6894s	got some damage onto redoches Hanzo but
6897s	that's about it in the meantime though
6899s	oh this barrage actually got two kills
6901s	it did a lot more yeah we had the camera
6903s	on the tires but it's called yeah we're
6905s	tired for a reason okay I mean the
6907s	entire got ripped off and I guess good
6909s	Nano barrage on Philippines and so
6914s	Indonesia will be having the nanoblade
6917s	all night which now this time the
6919s	nanoblade will
6923s	[Music]
6930s	where was this guy all along
6933s	I know
6935s	okay but will be denied uh well no papa
6939s	is gonna stay and sjs is going to be
6942s	denied that fourth kill but three kills
6945s	so it was two kills on the nanoblade and
6947s	the Third on after the Dragon Blade is
6952s	fired but what what mechanics
6956s	I'm really impressed with this player
6958s	and so far even with the NT 375 now
6962s	finding a headshot onto works
6965s	again good Dragon to force them into a
6968s	position where capacity being non-stop
6971s	action here Landing all the shots yeah
6974s	so I was about to say a good dragon from
6977s	Redux to force Indonesia into a position
6979s	but seats speed 75 sounds like that
6982s	Cassidy was just freaking wiring and
6984s	Wrecking everyone speaking of soldier
6986s	pugspot is on the record
6992s	just off the payload a little bit and
6996s	that's to a victory for Indonesia oh my
6999s	God that place that isn't even ac9
7002s	because what a great sleep on the
7005s	wrecking ball the wrecking ball pick was
7007s	there just to touch and it was denied I
7010s	believe it was shrimp it was a shrimp oh
7013s	my God
7014s	at the end and that is going to be 2-0
7017s	win we were saying Philippines they can
7018s	certainly contest against Indonesia but
7021s	it was it it was closed on controls but
7023s	when we came to shambali Monastery it
7025s	wasn't a big of a contest as Indonesia
7028s	just kept that run three point and that
7030s	is we're back three two one I believe
7032s	what's the score on that second map
7034s	exactly and wow it is
7038s	well I loved it yes there was a pause
7040s	but there were so many incredible
7042s	moments right after the past however
7043s	destroyed it was we had sjs coming up
7046s	and we have SGS coming out and this guy
7050s	was phenomenal like yes I thought like
7052s	even pre-match I thought the DPS I did
7054s	mention that the DPS lineup on the on
7057s	the inside of Indonesia was a little bit
7059s	ahead uh compared to the DPS of the
7062s	Philippines however like I didn't expect
7063s	this like SJ yes on the Hanzo was making
7067s	early picks that on the off on the
7070s	attack on shambali that it made it
7072s	easier for them it made Chen Lee just
7075s	you know oh okay um you know SJ is just
7077s	popping heads I'm just gonna drive the
7079s	truck and it was literally the story of
7081s	the of the Indonesian attack on shambali
7083s	and on the defense that sleet kill on
7087s	yeah sleep that reflex kill oh my God
7089s	that was sick that one great moment I
7093s	would be very upset if that is not in
7094s	the highlights I am so sure one of those
7096s	s from sjs is called it's from shimada
7100s	maybe the first shimada for Hanzo the
7102s	later shimada for Genji I don't know
7104s	what the G is for but that's why we have
7107s	SJ that's a win for Indonesia keeping
7110s	the pride up of course uh Philippines
7112s	Unfortunately they just lost they did
7114s	lose their final match but that is our
7116s	second match of the night guys because
7118s	we have one more match and you don't
7122s	want to miss this for sure 100 and you
7124s	know what this is all about it is it is
7126s	going to be Japan versus South Korea

7840s	of these players because these players
7841s	are such in a high caliber that they are
7844s	they're Champions like especially team
7846s	Korea they are a member they are roster
7848s	full of Champions not just not the MSN
7850s	but also on the grand finals last year
7852s	I've talked with a lot of these players
7854s	they were like hey I
7856s	playing on the stage actually makes me
7859s	so fulfilling to a point that hey I some
7862s	of these players were considering
7864s	retirement and after going on stage
7867s	after hearing these fans after feeling
7869s	the energy from the fans on land they
7871s	were like okay I actually do want to
7873s	play I
7875s	re-rejuvenated my passion for OverWatch
7878s	for Esports Azure professional player so
7880s	this is one again going to be one of the
7883s	special moments again here G clef and
7886s	loving the energy from the fans and all
7888s	these because they waited uh waited for
7891s	hours before they also had had this much
7894s	time to draw and to have all the
7896s	cheerful for the players that they liked
7898s	they waited for the messages they're
7900s	delivering
7902s	four years I'm sure I'm sure a lot of
7905s	them actually waited for oh look at
7906s	those jerseys
7908s	this is off to the side it's literally
7910s	packed full house we have a lot of
7913s	individual fans for the teams here on
7916s	the left yes that's that's exactly what
7918s	I want to see and they not only they had
7922s	a lot they had multiple fan signs oh my
7925s	God this is so this is so wholesome yeah
7927s	it's so heartwarming for a lot of the
7929s	players who's actually going to see this
7931s	in just moments from now and a lot of
7934s	Hampden fans a lot of Sparkle fans fin
7937s	fans uh they're everywhere yeah I mean
7940s	Geo Fielder everyone
7944s	yeah Korea is going to win of course
7946s	Fearless yeah they got everyone covered
7949s	it's incredible what offline can give
7951s	you I wish we're also there we're pretty
7953s	close there so we're receiving the
7955s	energy from the offline too exactly
7957s	we've been there right before the match
7958s	and it still was a immensive experience
7961s	let's talk a little bit about the match
7963s	uh just the nature of Korea and Japan
7966s	not just on OverWatch but in we've seen
7968s	this in the pre-match interview here
7970s	that Korea and Japan are Fierce rivals
7973s	in any sports and anything that is
7976s	competitive that has anything that you
7978s	have to go you have to decide a winner
7980s	then Korea and Japan are Rivals here
7982s	yeah especially uh the countries uh
7985s	countries nearby oh look at that Eva the
7987s	Korean flag of course Eva with the
7989s	Korean flag makes total sense and this
7992s	is another battle for the first place of
7995s	the qualifiers for APAC a so that
7997s	matters so much and I think we are
8000s	actually going to sweep the entire floor
8002s	and watch uh look at every single
8005s	cheerful before we actually head into
8007s	the match which I would love and there's
8009s	Diva some more Divas on the right on top
8012s	yeah I mean I I understand there's a lot
8015s	of Diva illustrations here because diva
8017s	is the Korean character on OverWatch so
8020s	a lot of the you know a lot of the cheer
8023s	science associate with Diva I can
8025s	understand oh there's a fin fan over
8028s	there yeah please remember me I will
8030s	remember you fans yes I will so there
8033s	was another sign below that if you win
8034s	you marry me team Korea so I I hope that
8038s	works out somehow for you and of course
8041s	popcorn available uh you can just get
8043s	popcorn and drinks uh downstairs it's
8046s	actually pretty cool the seats are very
8047s	comfortable and very cooled with all the
8050s	AC and of course the sound system is
8053s	awesome exactly so this is a Esports
8056s	Studio that is refitted a movie theater
8059s	so that there are great screens there
8061s	are great sound systems and it is
8064s	designed for your Esports pleasure
8066s	exactly what this means heat seat seats
8069s	for everyone to enjoy I hope everyone
8071s	got in uh because there are a lot of
8074s	people waiting to get into this studio
8077s	and
8078s	air filter
8080s	and Korea has Fielder so
8082s	it seems like it kind of gives me those
8085s	Marvel Vibes it's like yeah I have a
8088s	Hulk
8089s	exactly I have a feeling in this field
8092s	so yeah so a lot of great hype on the
8096s	match so we're now going into the smash
8097s	like you mentioned g-club this is going
8099s	to be the first place to cider for our
8101s	APAC group a Japan Korea currently
8105s	undefeated one team will be broken and
8108s	well not like broken in a sense that
8110s	their winchick is going to get broken
8112s	and they will both teams are qualified G
8114s	clef but one team will be broke will
8117s	break that undefeated title yeah 4-0 on
8121s	the left 4-0 on the right for both
8122s	thieves standing on top tie or that
8125s	first place exactly because they're four
8128s	zero plus eight did not drop a single
8131s	map so we'll see how
8134s	Japan does here up against one of the
8137s	clear favorites of the entire tournament
8139s	and here's a starting roster Nico kyuki
8142s	KSG mint cute loud nothing out of the
8145s	ordinary and I think this starting
8147s	roster might actually stay for the
8149s	entire match yeah we did see mihawk and
8151s	Plankton coming up yesterday uh mihawk
8154s	on usually on the long-range head scans
8156s	and Plankton usually coming on the
8158s	escort maps for uh the off tank rolls
8161s	however we do see we do see over the
8163s	weeks that this five starting five is
8165s	indeed the strongest members of Team
8167s	Japan so far all of these members
8169s	including the bench members here are
8172s	part of Team Barrel who has been playing
8174s	together uh for almost a full year now
8177s	on uh OverWatch contenders APAC so this
8181s	is a team that has been talented not
8184s	just talented but they have been
8185s	improving immensely so I'll be making a
8188s	bold statement here or G clef Japan
8190s	looks like they can compete even with
8193s	the best teams in the world now now and
8195s	going against Korea is going to be the
8197s	ultimate test of their power levels
8198s	because I think G clef that Japan can
8201s	actually make it into top 8 of the
8202s	tournament yeah they are one of the one
8205s	of the big favorites of the uh not just
8207s	an APAC of course they're one of the
8209s	higher teams in the entire world cup
8211s	this is going to be a big crew for not
8213s	just for themselves to actually
8215s	calculating their own power thinking
8218s	about the later group stages against the
8220s	stronger opponents and now we will it
8223s	looks like team Korea is ready to enter
8225s	the stage because we finish with the
8228s	team Japan introductions and yes they
8231s	they are on the in the flash team Korea
8237s	have Lithia Sparkle we have fearless
8240s	hanbin and icy Fielder and Chio there so
8245s	unfortunately it looks like Finn is not
8247s	here or at least not yet but this is
8252s	team Korea and I'm definitely High
8254s	profit listening this team is full of
8256s	Elite Talent G Club yeah only five are
8259s	going to be sitting so is it going to be
8261s	humping or Fearless with the starting
8262s	roster is this it's going to be Han bin
8264s	and lip Sparkle of course with the DPS
8266s	and filter Chio oh no Finn uh maybe he's
8271s	not playing maybe he's just standing on
8272s	the backstage we don't know yet but
8275s	looking at the roster it seems like
8277s	maybe they want to use Fearless later
8279s	later on when we go into hybrid escort
8282s	uh maybe it depends on the map right now
8284s	because sometimes you want to use the
8286s	diva sometimes you want to use
8287s	um the drunker Queen instead of the
8290s	Winston which Fearless I think Fearless
8291s	is unmatched at but let this roster sink
8295s	in a little bit yeah just take a look
8297s	and screenshot and you can print this
8299s	out lip the MSM winners the mid-season
8304s	Madness winners field or Chio the
8306s	unkillable backline from Atlanta rain
8309s	joining with lip on this incredible
8312s	roster Sparkle 2022 OverWatch League
8315s	Grand Final winners hanbin 2022
8318s	OverWatch League Grand Final winners
8321s	they're all superstars they're all super
8324s	top top notched here
8327s	gathered in a team called South Korea
8329s	for this world cup man I I honestly
8332s	think uh they can actually get the
8334s	trophy exactly this is very likely like
8338s	we mentioned gcloud this team is not
8340s	this team is on a Vengeance run right
8342s	now they they they think that well right
8346s	now I'm 20 in the last World Cup 2019
8349s	they didn't win the World Cup finals USA
8353s	is actually the title holders for the
8356s	World Cup currently they want to correct
8358s	that they are here for vengeance and
8361s	they are here to correct it they're on a
8363s	uh they are on a Redemption Arc here
8365s	yeah but even for team Korea team South
8368s	Korea certainly this is D Mastery it's
8371s	going to be the toughest match out of
8372s	the qualifiers and team Japan they
8375s	actually had uh quite against the
8377s	against one of the stronger opponents
8379s	yesterday Hong Kong had a huge Victory
8381s	with a 2-0 and we thought it was going
8383s	to be tougher some harder times coming
8385s	out from even with this great roster
8386s	from Japan but it was very well handled
8389s	and very well practiced so against South
8392s	Korea let's see what they're actually
8394s	going to bring in this first or two
8395s	exactly um I'm also really interesting
8398s	to see interested to see what South
8400s	Curry is going to play with in the
8402s	previous matches we've seen South Korea
8404s	use a lot of the unconventional
8406s	compositions so I think that is also
8409s	considering that they are they know that
8411s	they are at a team there are a team that
8414s	are at a high much higher power level so
8416s	sometimes they don't want to you know
8418s	reveal the Tactical aspects of their
8421s	playing but I mean coming if you've seen
8424s	the interviews pre-match interviews it
8426s	was like Hey this we know that this is a
8428s	match that fans are really excited about
8430s	like even fans that are not OverWatch
8433s	fans will be are interested I know that
8436s	for a fact because it is South Korea
8438s	versus Japan this is how much South
8440s	Korea is investing in the emotional
8442s	value of this matchup South Korea versus
8445s	Japan so maybe the want to actually do a
8449s	quote-unquote proper composition here
8452s	is with these men this these many fans
8456s	right in front of you they will receive
8458s	much more energy and I honestly think
8460s	they'll be better on stage compared to
8463s	online because they can actually uh
8466s	communicate better and in other sense
8468s	you have to heal your DPS because
8470s	they're literally right next to you yes
8473s	I mean this is a funny story that I can
8477s	be confident of sharing now when uh on
8479s	the first match on South Korea's first
8481s	match against Chinese Taipei Chio did
8485s	not heal Fielder on purpose because they
8487s	had a bet on who's gonna have the first
8490s	death of the tournament and that person
8492s	had to buy dinner for the team so no I
8496s	don't believe there's gonna be any that
8497s	kind of shenanigans for today's match I
8499s	think they're gonna have their serious
8500s	face on and will be on their very best
8503s	today I'm just excited to see what
8505s	they're coming up with I I also I am
8508s	very interested to see what they think
8510s	of the matter right now because on the
8512s	previous matches it's like ah I think
8514s	we're kind of trying this and that but
8517s	maybe we have a more refined strategy uh
8519s	refined uh composition today so that is
8523s	what I'm really Keen to see and also on
8525s	the other side of the things all the
8528s	fans are here of course are cheering for
8530s	I'm guessing about 97 or more are
8534s	rooting for South Korea but if Japan can
8537s	actually show some amazing moments on
8539s	stage and defeat and drop and drop a map
8542s	against South Korea which no one else no
8544s	other team has been able to do so far
8546s	and that might actually continue into
8548s	group stage I'm going to eat my words
8550s	there and if Japan can actually take a
8553s	map off of South Korea that will be an
8555s	amazing result already again I think
8557s	that team Japan is already developed so
8560s	well because like they have the talent
8563s	there they also have them playing
8565s	together which means that they have been
8567s	growing their teamwork and grown as
8568s	players individuals and as a team I
8571s	think at the start at the start of this
8574s	competitive cycle Japan wasn't as strong
8578s	as they are right now however right now
8580s	after after they played together in
8583s	contenders after they played together
8584s	and the qualifiers I think this team is
8588s	now ready to compete against the best
8589s	teams in the world and it starts with
8591s	South Korea there's a guy left if you
8594s	look at left top there's a guy who
8596s	waited since 1pm which means we waited
8599s	at least five hours
8600s	yeah before the broadcast started so
8603s	that's a long time that's even before
8605s	production came here so that's yeah
8607s	really he was in a line for anyone of
8611s	course this entire building's open for
8613s	for other uses and and things but that's
8616s	a long wait if you talk about things
8618s	that's that's exactly you know the
8621s	passion and the energy from the fans
8622s	it's all coming into the right place it
8624s	looks like we are going to take a little
8626s	bit more time to get both teams settled
8628s	up it is a land event versus an online
8632s	setting so maybe those kind of
8633s	configurations kind of can maybe a
8636s	little bit more complicated compared to
8638s	just land when both teams are on land or
8641s	when both teams are online but it is
8644s	worth the wait G clef because I'm so
8646s	excited and we can hear the fans here as
8649s	well we have the sound set up so that we
8651s	can hear the fans cheer and also the
8653s	fans you know just laughs
8656s	Dragon Blade oh man here we go we've got
8660s	the future sure right here in his hands
8663s	this is so wholesale I love to see it
8666s	because you know I've also seen that
8669s	comments don't you see that bottle
8670s	movement yeah
8676s	to play in his team but but still it's
8680s	great to see these moments and also
8682s	about the point this is what the World
8684s	Cup is all about in my opinion like yes
8686s	winning is important like getting glory
8689s	is also really important but the
8691s	community like making friends uh you
8694s	know enjoying with your friends he's 13.
8698s	I think that was actually the signal
8700s	okay sorry no it's totally fine I'm just
8703s	you know trashing the moment here
8705s	because this is what oh this is what the
8707s	World Cup is meant to be this is what
8708s	the OverWatch World Cup is for
8711s	um you know feeling feeling wholesome
8713s	with the community connecting with the
8715s	community exactly and just you know
8718s	being in the same place with the players
8720s	feeling the those vibes a man
8722s	yeah having competition and also
8724s	bringing everyone together uh for this
8727s	great OverWatch uh competitive and I
8730s	think that's one of the best things
8731s	about the World Cup here is uh you need
8734s	to turn that on
8744s	I agree
8746s	uh let me I'll I'll be a little bit
8748s	biased here I agree that who's better
8749s	Sparkle or Luke right now lip I mean
8752s	last year it might have been Sparkle but
8754s	this year lip is on a totally different
8756s	level because I usually classified BPS
8759s	players onto two categories you do the
8762s	heads you either do the headscan or you
8763s	are the flex DPS
8766s	dude look lip is just a DPS he can play
8768s	Ash he can play somber he can play
8770s	Tracer he can't even play Genji like
8772s	what he maybe maybe
8774s	throw Farah into that list and you'll
8777s	have your full set over there
8781s	and he played the junkrat
8783s	can you play the other few
8785s	after this match I'm gonna run to
8789s	see that they can play anything
8790s	basically pretty much given to his hands
8792s	but I think we're just doing the final
8794s	checks uh from all the gaming gears that
8797s	they have
8798s	Fearless I have nothing to fear that is
8802s	actually very true so look that Winston
8804s	that looks like the tip of the iceberg
8806s	on top and then if you look down that's
8809s	actually Fearless oh some great artwork
8812s	yeah so a lot of the fans are really
8815s	committed to this and I really
8816s	appreciate that because you know
8819s	we're all here for the fans yeah that
8821s	rage
8822s	better not go on someone else
8823s	[Laughter]
8826s	that seems pretty scary to me I think
8829s	I'm almost ready to set up I think with
8833s	the shot I think we should be going to
8834s	the game real soon and here we go the
8836s	first map it's going to be a Lee Jong
8838s	Tower between Japan and South Korea
8841s	where we will actually
8843s	now that we know it's Legion we'll have
8845s	some air contests here right I do
8847s	definitely think so I think that's also
8849s	one of the reasons why Hampton is being
8851s	started Ah that's right because we've
8853s	seen in the earlier matches today that
8855s	diva is well no go figure right uh diva
8858s	is an effective counter to the Flyers
8860s	and especially if you can also employ
8863s	Flyers of your own then it's going to be
8865s	a numbers advantage on the air and with
8868s	KSG starting instead of Plankton I
8872s	haven't seen a lot of KSG Divas so I
8875s	assume that this will be a strategic
8876s	advantage against Japan on the side of
8879s	Legion Tower but then we have to see
8881s	what map we go first because if it's
8884s	control center then it's not going to be
8886s	you don't see a lot of uh pharaohs or
8889s	flyers in general here so it's I'm
8891s	expecting Garden
8893s	so we're gonna have our Flyers
8897s	uh we'll see
8898s	immediately we have PPE
8901s	they were about to do the team chant but
8904s	they're the peepee look at The Spectator
8907s	they're like why
8911s	oh my God this is okay I guess we'll
8914s	wait a little bit more but we're seeing
8916s	some okay I think I I thought we got to
8919s	see the team come a little bit I think
8920s	there was a pharaoh from Japan and of
8924s	course we did see life Weaver but I
8926s	don't think he's coming out yeah
8928s	probably not and I I just saw the hovers
8931s	briefly and it looks like Japan is going
8933s	to run the uh Farah I haven't seen the
8937s	tanks what was the tank oh I did not I
8939s	did not get to check all the heroes yet
8941s	so we'll get to find out real soon but
8943s	yeah so Japan was running the Flyers and
8946s	um I saw team Korea's composition it
8948s	wasn't a Rhine Rush which is kind of
8950s	unexpected coming from hanbin because I
8954s	mean I'm not saying hambins is a bad
8956s	Reinhardt but if you want to play the
8957s	Reinhardt it likely it was going to be
8960s	Fearless shouting so maybe they're just
8963s	trolling around until the kids actually
8965s	open and we are back okay we're here
8967s	okay I'm pausing and
8970s	oh reinhards for now
8973s	so it looks like Japan is actually going
8977s	with the Reinhardt brush okay it looks
8980s	yes this is how it's gonna look like so
8981s	no flyers on either side and South Korea
8983s	is going to match so we are going to
8985s	have a mirror matchups
8988s	yeah with the Sombra and Main is going
8990s	to be the only difference between the
8991s	DPS
8992s	nickolip on symmetra they're staying
8995s	after the teleport oh hop is ready
8997s	ready for this and early kills
9002s	Japan expected this to happen
9005s	what a quick maneuver from South Korea
9009s	they were definitely 60 percent
9013s	what in the world that must have been
9015s	about like four Street hammers okay
9017s	Japan understands that they were not
9018s	definitely going to win the mirror
9020s	matchup especially after they gave up so
9023s	much old percentage to the side of South
9025s	Korea so they are going with the Winston
9027s	dog and with the Pharaoh so this is
9030s	going this is a good quick change on the
9032s	south on the side of Japan South Korea
9034s	doesn't have very good very good air
9037s	control but there is Nico down on us
9039s	sparkle
9045s	I thought it was pretty safe but low HP
9047s	but he'll pick up five Fielder at the
9050s	end field actually turning into soldier
9053s	Okay again uh so the Flyers isn't so the
9058s	Flyers is untouched right now so they're
9060s	doing what they can but remember G clef
9062s	we've talked about Flyers a lot today
9064s	Flyers are more most effective when your
9068s	team has uncontested control on the
9070s	point but right now south of South Korea
9074s	is the team that has uncontested Point
9076s	control and it's going to be a struggle
9078s	unless I think barrage is going to be
9081s	the only chance where pharah is actually
9084s	going to make a difference in this fight
9085s	yeah it's going to be
9086s	very important work your geek drops from
9089s	which window he's actually okay
9091s	so this is going to be maybe they don't
9095s	even need them they do use the garage
9098s	right before the Vault was used but so
9101s	they're actually going to be just
9102s	keeping those three holes available for
9104s	South Korea Japan takes it back yes
9106s	Japan does good work on the side of
9108s	Japan to use their use their composition
9111s	to the fullest and taking that flip
9113s	however South Korea a good ultimate
9116s	discipline they they knew that this
9117s	fight was going to be lost and they
9119s	didn't use any ultimates that they
9121s	didn't need to use and a good maneuver
9123s	there is over there on the right point
9126s	do that they were coming from the
9128s	teleport
9131s	here she focused
9135s	yes there is that pulse bomb it goes
9138s	wide yes South Korea uses a lot of
9141s	ultimates and but they will be able to
9143s	flip the point Chio has that sound look
9146s	at the crowds roaring out yes South
9149s	Korea also used a lot of bullets but so
9151s	did Japan and they are going to be
9153s	basically doing the neutral fight now
9154s	and South Korea will be confident of
9156s	that again again collectible usage by
9159s	South Korea there uh now doomfist from
9161s	KSG coming trying to contest with the
9163s	point but Chio still holding on to that
9165s	sound barrier just at an emergency
9167s	we are approaching last fight territory
9170s	for Japan they have to make a kill good
9174s	and good that was a good engineer for
9176s	glad but what a sound mirror from chill
9179s	left takes Cloud down and it looks like
9182s	Japan is running out of sustain yes mint
9186s	is there but who but it can't save
9188s	everyone
9190s	because of that anti they bought so much
9193s	time from Q loud and to give still from
9196s	the side contesting for the spot cookie
9198s	needs to survive for the barrage barrage
9200s	is going to be there
9201s	for both sides can you actually hold up
9204s	Vera needs to work a little more of the
9207s	sparkle okay there's a barrage getting
9209s	two but Sparkle actually getting two on
9211s	the other side
9225s	and can't get to the control Point first
9228s	going into South Korea's hand Nico had
9232s	to recall because she was so low on
9234s	health and then after that he didn't it
9237s	was the recall was so far away that it
9239s	wasn't couldn't come back in time what
9242s	an exciting first map for both sides
9244s	because I thought on the last fight
9245s	after that barrage especially I thought
9247s	Japan was actually gonna flip and make
9249s	South Korea go another fight however Geo
9252s	what's hiding there and although yes the
9255s	sustain was very low because it's only
9257s	the Lucio however it doesn't matter if
9259s	Lucio is going to take out all the
9261s	members of Japan
9262s	that Lucio is pretty deadly and because
9265s	Japan they were scattered all over the
9268s	place South Korea did they just decide
9270s	okay we move that spot we go all in the
9273s	map the fact that they all got anti
9275s	means that they were all together on the
9277s	same spot which is actually really good
9279s	uh if you think about how their teamwork
9281s	is working at that moment but moving
9283s	into our second control oh man let's
9286s	keep playing the ball but lip is there
9288s	with the song but this is oh KSG just
9291s	stealth countered himself into the limb
9293s	lip is also the best in the world and
9297s	Limp takes first block and even Nico
9300s	super low has to be back all the way not
9303s	even close
9304s	struggling to find the support from the
9306s	team
9307s	South Korea getting that first cap look
9310s	at Liv's EMP there I mean kooky is also
9314s	at 72 it's actually a head of lip
9316s	however the the point control is on the
9319s	side of South Korea so it is going to be
9322s	an interesting competition for both
9324s	sombres on the EMP yeah we'll see as
9328s	running into switching it to orisa as
9330s	Niko kyuki the double flank can Morgan
9340s	to keep everyone alive
9343s	can't keep falling low mint balls can't
9346s	she also looks like it's gonna fall back
9348s	down and only three members of Japan
9350s	left yeah picking up the kills too loud
9352s	gets Gio but that's only one support
9354s	mint is also down both Lucio's coming
9356s	back to spot control is on favor of
9358s	South Korea and it is also going to be
9360s	lips EMP left to use so whenever Japan
9363s	wants to go get near the point and
9365s	contest lips EMP is going to be there
9368s	for the aggression and now Japan again
9370s	coming in and there's an empty from lit
9373s	for men and the follow-up damage seems
9375s	to be okay the rush is there from Q loud
9378s	Nico trying to solve the bridge no
9380s	casualties all the sound of Japan so
9382s	they survive the EMP good job for them
9384s	but they do have to condense
9386s	Nico is there some very early on from
9390s	South Korea they know that something is
9392s	happening and your sparkle ready
9395s	from the back line but not impactful
9398s	whatsoever
9399s	good counter for men so Japan is really
9402s	impressive here they did oh they didn't
9404s	able to flip the point okaysg
9407s	Point actually turning this around Korea
9410s	they've wasted a lot of their old
9412s	correlations keeping it alive okay Liv
9414s	still getting a lot more kills I thought
9416s	Japan almost had the boy it is it is not
9419s	gonna be wasted if you can win at 96 I
9422s	don't think Japan can actually touch
9424s	here and oh they managed you so good on
9427s	mint
9428s	thinking down is there anyone else that
9431s	could just me the doofus desperation
9433s	hacked into death and it looks like it's
9436s	just that perspiration Touches for Japan
9439s	here yes good EMP but it's not going to
9442s	matter because everyone falls on Japan
9444s	and his Lee Jong Tower is likely to go
9447s	on the side of South Korea and there's
9449s	mints the last Lucia surviving and
9451s	there's no one else on the point doofus
9453s	cannot come in time and that's the
9455s	street 2-0 for South Korea what a great
9458s	performance in South Korea yes chap
9460s	Japan is doing really well I've seen a
9462s	lot of impressive performances like
9464s	their alt usage their alt economy it is
9466s	not Japan's like being bad it is South
9469s	Korea being oh yes yeah you know Japan
9472s	has this this this Japan has these much
9475s	resources so they are likely to do this
9476s	we know what they're going to do and we
9479s	are going to react in this way and this
9481s	is why
9482s	Club South Korea has the members of
9485s	South Korea are called Elite towns even
9487s	in the highest Echelon of professional
9489s	Esports this is an incredible game
9492s	gcloud it's not Korea they're making
9494s	look uh making Japan look like they're
9497s	not at the same level even through the
9499s	qualifiers in Japan defeated all the
9501s	other teams with a 2-0 score and this is
9505s	just the level that show a display of
9507s	how how good South Korea is right now
9509s	with the roster on paper and just by
9513s	reading the paper the names of these
9515s	players uh the history the experience
9517s	that they have so far on this
9518s	competitive OverWatch from the league
9520s	from OverWatch League you just cannot
9523s	throw questions at this roster yeah it
9525s	looks like hanban is taking his stuff so
9528s	I am boldly guessing a Fearless Sub in
9531s	me this year
9537s	[Music]
9542s	It's a sleep bag oh you can actually wow
9547s	that's one of the biggest that I've ever
9549s	seen but anyway let's go back to the
9551s	match and see how like talk about how
9554s	good South Korea was because like it was
9556s	impressive on all fronts hanbin on
9560s	like I expected to be because it was on
9563s	Legion but why what a performance on the
9566s	Reinhardt like I think a little bit I
9568s	think it was a little bit of a mind game
9570s	as well because Japan was probably also
9572s	kind of expecting something like a Depot
9574s	or maybe the ramacha here yes the raw
9577s	Mantra you did see and Gordon's here but
9579s	I would definitely don't think they
9580s	weren't expecting hondan's Reinhardt
9582s	here yeah that's one of the things as
9584s	the Reinhardt starting with 60 of course
9587s	uh
9588s	it took a longer time to charge up the
9590s	art Shadow because the Reinhardt was not
9592s	able to contest into any further damage
9595s	Source because the other four took care
9597s	of the rest of the team so so early on
9600s	that the except for that 60 it took a
9603s	very long time but uh changing now I
9606s	think into Fearless that's going to be
9608s	another bad news for team Japan as they
9611s	can they might actually change back into
9613s	Plankton but honestly I think staying
9616s	with the KSG should be better in terms
9618s	of teamwork and how it's going to be
9620s	again I'm not I'm like Japan played
9623s	really well like although the score
9625s	doesn't justify it it's it's not that
9627s	Japan played for played like bad they
9631s	they had good moments they did what they
9634s	needed to do with their composition it
9635s	was just that South Korea was just
9637s	better so I don't think uh Japan needs
9640s	to necessarily make any changes it's
9642s	just that hey I the only thing that I
9645s	would ask of Japan is not to get mental
9647s	bloomed here
9648s	I I'm just still amazed and mind-blown
9651s	from the first control that we just had
9654s	we thought Japan was going to be a lot
9657s	more contest but South Korea they're
9660s	actually giving this is the match that
9662s	we cannot kind of feel that they're
9663s	actually giving a lot more power into
9666s	play uh they're a lot more a lot more
9669s	coordination between the teammates uh
9671s	seemed like the communication was
9673s	totally on point they weren't totally
9675s	diving into the back line of the
9677s	opponent respecting the power level of
9679s	Japan keeping the control making sure
9681s	they take one step at a time
9683s	communicating through the team and it
9685s	you could see that
9687s	the team we were questioning maybe they
9690s	have more teamwork to pull through maybe
9693s	the level of the teamwork is not 100 but
9696s	look at them playing land right now and
9698s	even with different roster I'm pretty
9700s	sure it's going to stay above this is
9703s	coming in so Fearless on Korea this
9707s	means more fear on Japan I'm playing
9709s	with my Awards here but this is how good
9710s	this player is this player individually
9713s	is your 2022 OverWatch League Grand
9717s	Finals MVP currently playing on the
9720s	Houston Outlaws on the OverWatch League
9722s	runner up for the mid-season Madness so
9726s	just looking at recent form here this
9728s	team is just just just oh my God I can't
9732s	even find a good Warfare this is I mean
9734s	if you want to if you want this if you
9737s	ask this guy like can you send us your
9739s	resume
9741s	like these players will have uh uh it'll
9744s	take a long time to receive their parts
9746s	well look at Fearless because there's so
9748s	many screenshots and trophy titles he
9750s	won the OverWatch league with Shanghai
9752s	he won the OverWatch league with Dallas
9755s	fiol now on a rival team on Houston he
9759s	is looking
9760s	you when he he is on course to win the
9764s	overall OverWatch League this year as
9766s	well I mean yes Atlanta rain has a lot
9768s	of say on it and also a lot of teams
9770s	will be looking to challenge that on the
9775s	second half of the Season which will be
9776s	coming after the qualifiers however
9779s	no denying that this player is immense
9782s	Talent here
9784s	just going through the final check as
9786s	she yeah we're playing land so we do
9789s	need some time to actually check all the
9791s	gears of course keyword keyboard and
9793s	mice they they do have to be functional
9796s	actual game also quick fact quick trivia
9800s	that whenever players get swapped out
9802s	they're the card the swampy hard drives
9805s	of the PCS because to get the settings
9808s	right yes for the settings exactly for
9810s	the so it takes a long time for all the
9813s	yeah for all these graphic settings for
9815s	all the DPI settings
9818s	etc etc so they they have a hard drive
9821s	specified for that player so they freeze
9824s	pre-configure it and they they come back
9826s	to whenever that player is subbed in or
9829s	out they just use that hard drive for
9831s	that player so it makes a lot it makes
9833s	the process a lot faster however there
9835s	are some finer settings finer tunings
9837s	that they need to do once to make sure
9839s	that everyone's comfortable playing
9840s	their game yeah just the the just to
9843s	check that everything's well working
9844s	fine all the keyboards of course the
9848s	buttons are being pressed and they're
9850s	registering in game also you want to
9852s	just be in the practice range for a
9853s	little bit and shoot at Bots just to
9856s	make sure that you have that feeling and
9858s	also it is
9860s	um it is one of
9861s	the ways to test whether hey how am I
9864s	how am I feeling today like you know
9865s	just waking up to that day and how
9869s	you're feeling like that and coming
9871s	actually coming into the practice range
9873s	and shooting oh maybe I mean not maybe
9875s	not so important for our main tank but
9877s	like even for main tanks these days it
9879s	is like how you feel when you aim and
9882s	actually shoot is really important so
9883s	maybe if you're not feeling that good
9884s	you'll be like hey I'm going to play a
9886s	little defensively guys so maybe like we
9888s	can just you guys can cover for me or if
9890s	I'm feeling really really on point today
9892s	I say ah I'm gonna lead the charge today
9894s	you guys follow my back so these kind of
9896s	communications and these kind of
9897s	preparations are really really important
9899s	so you know although so we apologize for
9902s	the delay this is we just wanted to tell
9904s	you that this is worth it yeah certainly
9906s	as I noticed that Fearless
9908s	does not have does have a pretty big uh
9911s	path for the mice only
9914s	so it's not as big as what ambian had oh
9917s	but still take a look at the gear that
9920s	they actually have that you might
9921s	actually want to switch on to the bad
9923s	fan once a 15 minute match
9926s	not a map a 15-minute match if you only
9931s	count the game time
9933s	oh it might still be a stretch but we'll
9936s	see if you only come to game time I
9938s	think the first control was
9940s	about a seven and a half
9943s	year they're like yes Sparkle is you
9947s	know written in a very pretty special
9950s	way and they're like hey Sparky
9953s	Sparky is another nickname you can
9956s	always count on
9958s	wow a lot of fans having fun here and
9961s	I'm having fun here as well I hope
9962s	everyone on chat whether wherever you
9964s	are in the world or is having fun here
9966s	with us as well we are ready to get we
9969s	are getting ready to get that second map
9971s	uh ready and just because for the weight
9975s	I will spoil what the second map is it
9977s	is going to be shambali Monastery for
9980s	the second map Korea will be on defense
9982s	first so it's really interesting to see
9986s	what we have in store maybe Fearless for
9988s	a mantra
9990s	I think that's totally possible
9993s	uh experience is of course known for a
9996s	lot more Winston but on this map of
9999s	course
10000s	I don't think okay ramacho is certainly
10002s	a good tank but you can always switch
10004s	into anything that he feels I think
10006s	depending on the team comp maybe more
10008s	support for the back line leaving some
10011s	more there's still a potential of some
10014s	more widows to come out or lit Genji
10017s	well that's good I don't think we'll be
10019s	having a lot of off strolling today
10021s	because I mean yes South Korea after
10024s	watching that first map you can
10026s	definitely see that power levels on
10028s	South Korea are just immensible higher
10031s	than team Japan at the current moment
10032s	but I think that the nature of South
10035s	Korea versus Japan is that they just
10038s	want to win classically and
10041s	um yeah yes I do agree that maybe some
10043s	long-range it scans maybe some ash on
10045s	the side of I don't I don't think Widow
10047s	maybe Widow yes but Widow is a little
10049s	bit of a too much of a riskier pick
10050s	because of the recent Nerfs on the
10053s	current edition remember the OverWatch
10056s	World Cup qualifiers is held the lie on
10059s	the live patch right now so a long-range
10062s	headshot on the Widow will not be
10064s	guaranteeing a 200 hp kill so we will
10067s	and it looks like we're starting the
10069s	match yeah this funny shot is usually
10071s	the one that we see right before we go
10072s	in and as you said it is going to be
10075s	shambali Monastery for the second map
10077s	and of course Japan after that loss from
10080s	the control the one selecting the map as
10083s	the shoot gave some more signs that okay
10086s	let's see what they're going to bring on
10088s	this on on this map because South Korea
10091s	they can react to basically everything
10093s	that Japan is going to bring again yes
10095s	uh I just forgot to mention that like
10098s	one of the biggest strengths of South
10099s	Korea is and their flexibility so the
10101s	when they constructed the steam career
10103s	roster yes they have two tanks so only
10106s	one tank can play at a time so maybe
10108s	there is a little bit of a restriction
10109s	on flexible on that front however we've
10113s	seen that even happened can play main
10115s	tank Heroes why not for the other side
10117s	why I don't I don't think I think that
10121s	Fearless is a good enough player to be
10125s	at least decent in all the heroes in the
10128s	tank roll so
10130s	um and also have the DPS role as well
10132s	lip is the DPS itself lib can play okay
10137s	like the DPS itself that's basically
10140s	More Heroes than anyone else from the
10143s	qualifiers but we do see somber switch
10145s	but let's see in 20 seconds what it's
10148s	going to be when the gates
10150s	also my question here is whether they
10154s	want to go to the four defense and spawn
10157s	camp we haven't seen a lot of these in
10160s	yes well and earlier today all four
10162s	matches before uh against Japan oh but
10166s	for an outfield they're all the way in
10168s	the back seems like they are feeling
10170s	okay just Sombra oh
10174s	okay so it looks like a semi
10179s	spawn Camp here
10181s	lip wants to farm the EMP but heck has
10184s	to go to our early back I think they're
10186s	trying to stall for the first corner to
10189s	the right and there's Fearless just
10191s	going off to the back alley
10195s	okay
10197s	this trap so low HP bars across the
10200s	board but it's made by Sparkles will own
10203s	wall there
10205s	you think alive and here's cheese still
10207s	okay
10210s	bloody shot and that wall is going to
10213s	deny a lot of healing from everyone
10217s	there to save KSG
10220s	so good play by Cloud there was able to
10223s	keep that tank alive only mint but just
10225s	losing one and these kind of fights yeah
10228s	did you have to back off luckily the
10230s	response not too far away for Japan to
10231s	push I think that was a really really
10234s	important play over there because now is
10235s	now that KSG is actually has survived
10239s	that early aggression he is very low he
10242s	is very high on that ultimate look at
10244s	Fearless right now Fearless has 80 58
10247s	and KSG all right I was about to secure
10249s	already has the analysis however in case
10251s	she's taken down so that is not going to
10254s	be relevant early in that of a field yes
10256s	Fielder Falls but with purpose as
10259s	Fearless is taking down every member of
10262s	Japan yes it is a team effort but what a
10265s	great understanding of the situation
10266s	from South Korea they probably knew that
10269s	if they kind of delayed a little They
10270s	delayed a little bit more KSG will be
10273s	using that Annihilation to do the
10275s	aggression however early early Nano from
10278s	Fearless even though Fearless didn't
10280s	have the annihilation at that time was
10282s	able to take down members of Japan now
10284s	South Korea is the team with the old
10287s	Advantage they
10290s	[Music]
10296s	immortality feels but it only delays the
10299s	inevitable and shield with the rally is
10302s	going to clean everyone
10308s	available about Japan they did take down
10311s	both of the DPS from South Korea and
10313s	they do have a longer response distance
10315s	they actually managed okay Fearless
10317s	keeping the line and giving the payload
10320s	on the same place so buys enough time
10323s	for lip and sparkler to come back as
10325s	Japan's still struggling to push towards
10327s	the first Corner 120 left only now
10330s	remember G clef overclocked by Nico
10334s	can't find the right target you have to
10337s	make sure this happen unless there's
10339s	gonna be another by Fielder there
10342s	Fielder already has Nano so this is
10344s	going to be South Korea's turn but on
10347s	who's for now it seems like Fearless
10348s	seems to be the right target just
10350s	keeping the paint alive there you go
10353s	there is the Fielder Nano
10364s	this might be the chance for Japan and
10367s	the schemes very like it as a Fearless
10369s	will actually survive for now the soccer
10373s	kill onto Fearless is going to be very
10375s	very important because a Fearless did
10377s	manage to survive that would would have
10379s	been another fight on that corner and
10381s	with only 20 seconds left 26 seconds
10383s	left excuse me it will be the last fight
10386s	well it will be either capping point a
10389s	or this will be the full hold I think
10391s	South Korea will likely to jump down and
10394s	contest there's Fearless dropping down
10395s	from the window there live still in
10397s	position for hacking
10416s	is bloodthirsty takes down everyone off
10419s	the side of Japan Fearless follows up
10422s	what's happening this baguette is
10423s	actually the DPS and the Titans up not a
10426s	single point is going to be taken by
10429s	Japan near South Korea
10431s	school they're buying all that time and
10434s	when's that final fight
10435s	what an impressive performance from
10437s	South Korea they did a forward defense
10441s	yes Japan was able to get through it so
10444s	this is actually kind of also phrased to
10448s	Japan because not a lot of teams were
10450s	able to break through the early defenses
10452s	for defenses on South Korea but in the
10455s	end they did manage to break through it
10456s	but however they they took about like
10459s	two and a half minutes so it was only a
10461s	minute and a half or even just closer to
10464s	a minute to make that push all the way
10466s	up to two corners and at the end of
10468s	point a South Korea with the advantages
10471s	that they already had capitalized and
10473s	made that fold hold happen yeah Nico's
10476s	sojourn was actually really good at
10477s	winning uh a lot of the fights against
10479s	the DPS against lip sometimes against
10481s	Sparkle who was actually trying to focus
10483s	the tank curious cheese or Mantra is
10485s	very impressive there are a lot of anti
10487s	but even through the NT romantra was
10490s	actually using the block saving for that
10491s	moment because you know against South
10494s	Korea you are going to be the I think
10496s	that's going to be focused with that
10497s	anti-nabe and many times they were able
10500s	to survive of course with the help of
10502s	some uh walls from happening from kyuki
10504s	but still you're still fighting yes one
10507s	of the best teams in the world and Japan
10509s	actually showing Great Signs here let's
10512s	see what happens are you actually gonna
10513s	play that okay
10516s	[Music]
10518s	I'm Widow just for now oh never mind not
10523s	for long Japan is on the spawn Camp here
10526s	let's see how long they can actually
10527s	they can actually make this happen
10531s	because time they need to stop right
10534s	over time if they want to match
10537s	if they want to defend to the point to
10539s	where South Korea holding them yeah she
10541s	actually hitting on both targets
10543s	Fearless field they're going down at the
10544s	same time Sparkle changes it back to
10547s	from Sombra now to Echo trying to break
10549s	uh this first wall that Japan has set up
10552s	yeah so good idea on Japan because they
10555s	know that they have to still as much
10556s	time as they possibly want because if
10558s	Korea ever managed to cap point a then
10561s	that's gonna be the end of the game for
10562s	them so sparkle is on the Tracer looking
10564s	for any off angles looking for double
10566s	angles for South Korea actually take
10570s	advantage of mint is very low but is
10573s	saved and Nico turret is able to take
10575s	down Sparkles so this early defense from
10579s	Japan is working out really well a
10581s	little too well actually Fearless jumped
10583s	onto the back line two Line's gone okay
10584s	that might be the crack that South Korea
10587s	needed to break Japan's wall and the PSG
10590s	Still Standing There is that rally that
10593s	is going to because she has fear it's
10595s	very low
10597s	depends he gathers a lot of ultimates
10600s	but this was not the chance he already
10602s	lost too loud and the Animals was coming
10604s	even for South Korea they're still
10606s	locked on to four other ultimates only
10608s	rally was used there yeah exactly so yes
10611s	credit to Japan and for almost stalling
10614s	Aid
10616s	for almost only two minutes actually but
10618s	however Japan
10620s	Japan was not using any of their
10622s	ultimates early and also South Korea was
10624s	not using any of their ultimates early
10626s	yet that is
10629s	the salary from an end
10632s	and the immortality field for cloud so
10635s	it will not be able to save anyone now
10638s	if juki was not caught by the sound
10640s	barrier
10640s	I thought it would have damage was so it
10642s	was a little too early Japan has four
10644s	ultimate numbers
10649s	it is the ominous musical of Defense
10653s	playing for Japan two meters there's a
10656s	blizzard and the emps violin so no one
10658s	else can come
10663s	is desperately holding on to dear life
10666s	as he is contesting the pain relation
10669s	and Niko trying to do what he can but
10671s	there's still a lot of members of South
10673s	Korea okay you're actually keeping the
10675s	point here Fielder still alive Sparkles
10678s	coming from the back but only two back
10680s	line available Sparkle what can you do
10683s	against all these members okay going to
10685s	be going down against kyuki so about a
10687s	minute left can you actually push all
10689s	the way
10690s	both teams used all their ultimates and
10694s	it is going to be on the one final fight
10696s	well I mean I do you think that maybe if
10698s	you do it quickly enough maybe two
10700s	fights but huh it is going to be very
10704s	very important for Sparkle to land that
10706s	pulse bomb on the side of Korea or it
10708s	may be up to live to make an isolated
10710s	kill with that manual hack
10713s	Geo is approaching rally so
10717s	South Korea cannot um
10721s	the rally is going to be there this is
10723s	going to be their trigger can't see very
10726s	much
10728s	down and it's gonna be everyone down as
10732s	South Korea will be able to finish match
10734s	South Korea will be your number one seed
10737s	in APAC a this is a dominant performance
10741s	from the tournament favorite South Korea
10744s	here and 2-0 win again for South Korea
10747s	undefeated from a pancake qualifiers of
10751s	OverWatch World Cup 2023 they are the
10754s	rossity look like the strongest clear
10756s	favorite of the tournament showing again
10759s	in an offline stage of wde sports Studio
10762s	against team Japan the strongest
10764s	opponent in a pack a
10767s	well I mean
10769s	yes props to Japan they actually put up
10772s	a real fight and all the I have to say
10774s	this again the 2-0 score does not
10778s	just give them Justice Japan actually
10780s	really really did a good job and
10782s	especially I was impressed with that
10784s	defense on Shabbat Monastery that early
10786s	defense that took away two minutes of
10788s	South Korea sign not a lot of teams can
10790s	can do that and again I just want to
10794s	praise how much Japan has improved
10796s	compared to the start of the season and
10799s	it looks like yes South Korea looks
10802s	absolutely terrifying Japan still looks
10805s	like they are one of the best teams in
10806s	the region if not the second best and it
10809s	will be they will be representing their
10811s	region very proudly and it I I will I
10814s	did say this and we'll say this again
10816s	they're looking like a world top a team
10818s	push for sure well no man you're on the
10821s	right Point Nance I actually even though
10823s	it was a 2-0 and trombone did finish uh
10827s	much more faster than I thought but oh
10831s	Japan actually had a really nice Soul
10832s	they were almost able to hold Korea from
10836s	getting zero point zero point in the
10838s	first uh first uh first a point from
10841s	shambali which not many teams not just
10844s	in this qualifier not many teams in this
10846s	world can actually uh be able to do that
10848s	against South Korean roster now and that
10850s	was very impressive from Japan of course
10852s	it did go towards South Korea uh at the
10855s	end but still the teamwork was there we
10857s	could see a lot of shiny moments from
10859s	Nico kyuki KSG and Q loud mint I think
10862s	Japan uh did lose today against South
10864s	Korea but against any other opponent
10866s	they will be looking like the dominant
10869s	Victor exactly so we had two things
10871s	today uh today's third match of the day
10874s	we had uh we figured out we we realized
10878s	once again we got reassured that Korea
10881s	is looking absolutely terrified and is
10882s	looking there are dead serious they have
10884s	their very serious fees into taking back
10887s	the World Cup they are definitely they
10890s	want they're expected they will go to
10891s	BlizzCon and it looks like
10893s	not a lot of teams can match them right
10895s	now yeah for a moment I thought we were
10897s	actually going into our third map maybe
10899s	it was there was a potential but oh the
10903s	hype hype uh the hype between the two
10905s	teams it was always there too bad we
10907s	didn't get to ever see the ever see a
10910s	push man in our qualifiers I mean I was
10912s	expecting this has to be the day that's
10914s	the last day one of these three uh three
10917s	matches is going to have a push but we
10919s	did we just did not have a push
10920s	whatsoever exactly so all of the
10923s	official matches on
10925s	um qualifa World Cup qualifiers for APAC
10927s	a has ended and a 2-0 so we didn't have
10931s	a single map three we did have a little
10933s	bit of hybrids we did have a little bit
10935s	of uh escorts but we did not have a push
10939s	yep and that's going to be the result of
10941s	the final night for us APAC a Hong Kong
10944s	2-0 against Chinese Taipei Indonesia
10947s	defeating Philippines to zero keeping
10950s	them up in fifth place and South Korea
10953s	proving themselves to be the best out of
10956s	this group as taking the first place
10957s	against Japan who's going to be now with
10960s	that win the second place so we will
10962s	actually be exactly mirror five down to
10966s	zero zero to five went from that win
10968s	loss and oh we actually have even
10971s	numbers same we have to have the same
10973s	standings for APAC A and B now
10976s	yeah maybe a little different than the
10978s	map differentials but yeah that's going
10981s	to be the final standings and the top
10983s	three of course South Korea Japan Hong
10985s	Kong they will be moving into the next
10988s	stage yes good luck to the three teams I
10991s	mean as someone who is born and raised
10993s	in the Asia region I just want all these
10995s	teams to do well and for even the teams
10998s	that are going uh to be eliminated today
11001s	uh I just wish them the best uh I think
11004s	there were a lot of positive
11006s	developments for even those teams and
11008s	there are going to be opportunities next
11010s	year and I I think I I think the future
11013s	is great for them yeah and and I'm so
11016s	shocked from all the matches today that
11018s	we had so many highlights so many
11020s	crucial fight moments that we could
11022s	pinpoint but God Chio is a DPS no I will
11028s	correct that no I'm going to correct
11030s	that Chio is a DPS Geo is a tank Geo is
11034s	a support
11035s	what whatever you need you ask Chio and
11038s	you will do it for you if you if you
11041s	need you to eliminate the opponent he
11044s	will be a DPS if you need if you need a
11047s	front line
11049s	Chio will be the tank from uh if you
11051s	need middle and the battle will do that
11053s	for you unless you have unless you had
11056s	that kind of bet for the first death so
11060s	my MVP is Geo from that match who would
11062s	you say uh the player of the match is
11065s	actually going to be from South Korea if
11067s	you had to choose one like me I have to
11069s	choose huh for for all the six teams
11072s	from all the six teams or the last match
11074s	whichever one you want to choose for to
11076s	for the third match I would definitely
11079s	go with I would definitely agree with
11081s	Chio and but for the day
11084s	I want to give sjs but I just for that
11087s	just for that you just have to bring
11091s	that back okay I do agree it was
11093s	it would be good oh man we went through
11096s	all the matches of Apache I hope you
11098s	guys enjoyed as much as we did maybe
11100s	more because uh this was packed action
11103s	and of course it's all about love and
11106s	all about the World Cup overwatches this
11108s	is only the qualifiers this is the first
11110s	tournament first few weeks of a very
11113s	long journey and of course from APAC a
11116s	we're sending three teams up for for to
11118s	the group stage and we'll see how far
11120s	they actually go we've got Hong Kong
11122s	Japan and South Korea we'll see how that
11125s	goes those three teams might actually
11127s	survive might survive and go towards
11129s	that BlizzCon stage exactly and again I
11132s	just want to mention that this world cup
11134s	is for everyone to just group up as one
11136s	and it's all about you know grouping
11138s	together making friends and also love
