901s | it started as a promise |
904s | the promise of something different |
907s | a promise of Heroes |
912s | but the path to glory is never promised |
917s | a knock down drag out No Holds Barred |
919s | Paul what a devastating loss Heartbreak |
923s | City this is the largest mountain to |
925s | climb |
926s | [Music] |
934s | but someone a glimmer of hope resists |
938s | the promise of a new era |
942s | just get ratcheted up a notch |
945s | Ed |
945s | [Music] |
951s | an era that celebrates where we came |
953s | from |
956s | at a place we call Hope |
958s | [Music] |
961s | which Heroes will fall |
964s | which Heroes will rise |

1023s | playoffs are happening and I'm as |
1025s | excited as can be it feels surreal to be |
1027s | back at Anaheim as well I know right |
1029s | it's World Cup we have so many memories |
1031s | all the way back from 2017 so it feels |
1033s | like we're home finally |
1035s | thanks for coming home |
1037s | I'm telling myself it's not best con but |
1040s | it's the OverWatch League playoffs all |
1041s | right because you know this is this is |
1043s | the home of blizzard in many ways and |
1045s | BlizzCon so being here it's amazing to |
1048s | be here in place and I can't wait to get |
1049s | these players started well you're in |
1051s | luck because that's gonna happen very |
1053s | very soon as we enter the final week of |
1056s | the overage League 2022 season and we |
1058s | need to take a brief look back to catch |
1061s | you all up to speed and it's also just |
1063s | so happened to be our very favorite |
1065s | segment it is |
1068s | music to my ears let's take a look at |
1070s | that season standings starting with the |
1073s | western region Dallas fuel locking in |
1075s | the number one seed followed by San |
1077s | Francisco shock and the Gladiators those |
1079s | are going to be the guys at the top |
1081s | fighting for it all but we had some |
1082s | other teams sneak in Florida Mayhem |
1085s | dominating through the planes while the |
1086s | Toronto defiant just sneaking in at the |
1088s | end there as well it could be anyone's |
1090s | game |
1094s | [Music] |
1098s | full Dynasty and the Shanghai dragons |
1099s | been trading blows for number one and |
1101s | number two and then it was Philadelphia |
1102s | fusion with the number three seed |
1104s | qualifying for the playoffs as well as |
1105s | Seinfeld spark qualifying through the |
1107s | play-ins beating out the Guangzhou |
1109s | charge and the Changi Hunters I love |
1111s | that the fusion placement still makes a |
1112s | Costa shakers we just can't believe |
1114s | there's nothing to happen and 11 and 13 |
1116s | qualified at the third seed in the East |
1119s | enough that's that's how I see it now |
1122s | let's take a quick look at the bracket |
1124s | moving forward for this week of course |
1127s | the top seeds are waiting to chase their |
1128s | opponents a little later this evening |
1130s | but that bracket man like that got us |
1132s | hyped last week when we saw that I mean |
1134s | just looking at the first match here |
1135s | Spitfire Fusion what a throwback the |
1138s | memories |
1138s | rematch of the 2018 Grand finals and |
1141s | because the teams have shifted regions |
1143s | of course it's the first time we're |
1145s | seeing Lana Spitfire take on the Philly |
1147s | Fusion since 2019. |
1149s | you mentioned that a little earlier |
1151s | today which is kind of crazy if you |
1153s | really think about it oh it's like we |
1155s | haven't seen like the map catch up |
1156s | verses in like since 2019 it's pretty |
1159s | pandemic it's it's nuts I can't wait to |
1161s | see this and it's from the before times |
1162s | everyone before times I barely remember |
1165s | those but uh yeah I I do want to take a |
1168s | quick look now also at what we're all |
1170s | playing for what is this worth the cash |
1172s | the money the glory the infamy this is |
1175s | what it's all about one million dollars |
1177s | for the champion second place will take |
1179s | home five hundred thousand dollars and |
1181s | the third will be granted 350 and the |
1183s | rest you can see on your screens I'm a |
1185s | little too lazy to read it all out for |
1186s | you but I think you guys can figure it |
1188s | out yourselves but it's a lot on the |
1190s | line for those teams as we are heading |
1193s | into those playoffs so a lot to play for |
1196s | but of course there is a lot of history |
1197s | here as well to catch everyone up to |
1200s | speed uh yeah these are the previous |
1202s | Champions uh as you can see San |
1204s | Francisco shop they won that title twice |
1206s | already can they make it Thrice that's |
1208s | really the question San Francisco |
1209s | shocked they have been one of the more |
1211s | dominant teams in the history of the |
1212s | league the Shanghai dragons trying to |
1214s | repeat their performance from 20 21 but |
1217s | our first match of the day was the 2018 |
1218s | finals as we're talking about there's a |
1221s | lot of history going back there Cafe and |
1222s | Poco are actually playing in that match |
1224s | today as well and they were on the same |
1226s | team in the Philadelphia Fusion now |
1227s | they're playing against each other yeah |
1229s | and we have so many contenders this time |
1231s | around as well usually we have like two |
1233s | three teams yeah they could probably win |
1235s | it all but this time we're on |
1237s | five six teams that I could possibly win |
1240s | the finals uh we're blessed with so many |
1242s | amazing teams joining us this week yeah |
1244s | I mean throughout the entire season |
1245s | right the middle of the pack has been so |
1247s | stacked it was just really unsure who's |
1249s | gonna like emerge on the top at the end |
1250s | but uh we're here to find out now we'll |
1253s | see who comes out on top this year and |
1255s | OverWatch of course has always been a |
1257s | game about adaptation and this year |
1259s | there's gonna be no different as we're |
1261s | playing on a new patch for the playoffs |
1263s | so let's take a quick look at the patch |
1264s | notes guys please walk us through it |
1266s | yeah starting off with the damage Heroes |
1267s | we got Sombra and Genji having some you |
1270s | know the changes to themselves Sombra of |
1272s | course feeling less damage to hack |
1273s | targets as well as a manual hike ability |
1275s | the duration is reduced from 1.75 to 1.5 |
1278s | seconds Genji as well reduced the |
1280s | maximum ammo goes from 30 down to 24 and |
1283s | less shuriken damage from 29 to 27. so |
1286s | we've seen tons of Genji already so I |
1288s | don't think anyone's going to miss Genji |
1293s | come on we were watching all season but |
1296s | yes this probably gives us a hint that |
1297s | we'll be seeing less Sombra less Genji |
1299s | throughout playoffs Zaya also got pretty |
1301s | hit pretty hard with the Nerfs her |
1303s | bubbles will not last anywhere near as |
1305s | long 20 shorter so her survivability |
1307s | drastically goes down with the cooldown |
1309s | also being increased by one second so |
1311s | probably less Zaya but the big one for |
1314s | these playoffs is Kirito is going to be |
1316s | playable in the playoffs so with this |
1318s | will be the first time we'll see the |
1320s | professional supports get their hands on |
1322s | this hero how will that affect the |
1324s | matter we'll find out and I hope |
1325s | everyone else at home takes note on how |
1327s | to play kiriko right customer you're |
1329s | looking at me as if you think I'm really |
1331s | bad am I not supposed to be in the |
1332s | enemy's background no you are not no |
1334s | really okay that's used to me well we're |
1336s | gonna learn this week for sure now last |
1338s | but certainly not least I want to take a |
1340s | look at the map pool because we do have |
1341s | some changes here as well maybe you guys |
1343s | want to walk us through how this could |
1345s | impact some of the teams yeah so taking |
1347s | a look at hybrid and escort we will not |
1349s | be playing on Midtown or Hollywood and |
1350s | for escort we will not be playing on |
1352s | Gibraltar so how that affects teams well |
1354s | if your Dallas fuel I mean you remove |
1355s | the three worst maps that they have in |
1357s | their pool so they're allowed thing |
1359s | they're they're having a great time |
1360s | Houston Outlaws you're removing some of |
1362s | their best maps so you know this will |
1363s | definitely affect the team's performance |
1365s | throughout the week a little bit of |
1366s | Texas buys coming in from Sean Miller on |
1368s | sound nothing |
1369s | so Esperanza the new push map we have |
1371s | not seen that be played in the OverWatch |
1373s | league in the past as well just came out |
1375s | with the launch of OverWatch 2 how will |
1377s | that map change it's very different to |
1378s | all the other push mats very big very |
1380s | long spawn run backs so I think it's |
1383s | going to be a very different look for |
1384s | the league I am so excited to see what |
1386s | the teams are going to make of that map |
1388s | cool and who's going to come out on top |
1389s | now we've checked a lot of boxes here in |
1391s | a pre-show setting the stage for the |
1393s | OverWatch League 2022 at playoffs |
1396s | already but what uh what good is |
1398s | checking metaphorical boxes uh when you |
1400s | can check literal boxes so uh I uh I |
1404s | think we should bring in our best PA |
1406s | actually |
1407s | this is Sean Miller oh yeah okay and if |
1410s | he works really hard he might one day |
1412s | get to the top of the league thank you |
1414s | Sean so much Sean Miller what is this oh |
1417s | look at this Bingo board there it is |
1420s | time again we're gonna play some Bingo |
1422s | here thank you so much Sean I'm gonna |
1424s | put in a good word uh to your bosses for |
1426s | you and now I will keep an eye on this |
1428s | very bingo aboard throughout the |
1431s | playoffs so all week long and also we |
1433s | should all keep an eye out on the teams |
1436s | that we think will make it through the |
1438s | playoffs in our perfect record |
1440s | competition so if you haven't done it |
1442s | yet please head on over to pick |
1445s | him.org.com and pick your perfect |
1448s | bracket win some League tokens of course |
1450s | to spend on some really nice skins and a |
1454s | chance to get some really really neat |
1457s | prices we'll make our picks for who will |
1459s | win the championship a little later in |
1463s | the show of course so if you haven't |
1465s | done that yet make sure to do that right |
1468s | now as you still have some time before |
1470s | the games are starting now before we |
1472s | continue on we want to share our |
1475s | condolences around the heartbreaking |
1477s | it's a one tragedy that occurred |
1479s | yesterday in Seoul um |
1481s | this is really rough of course uh Seoul |
1484s | in South Korea have just been such a big |
1486s | part in such a beloved part of the oh |
1488s | League family uh so we all mourn |
1490s | alongside our Korean owl Community our |
1493s | hearts do go out to the victims as well |
1495s | as their families and all who have been |
1497s | impacted by this terrible loss |
1682s | welcome back to watch Point all year has |
1686s | been building to the playoffs and it's |
1687s | finally here so it is time to make bold |
1690s | predictions to put a pride on the line I |
1694s | was always oh yeah we're known for that |
1696s | on this desk |
1698s | yes |
1704s | I think who we who we think will win the |
1708s | whole thing in our new segment who you |
1711s | got oh no I I don't want to take this |
1714s | claim too early I don't know why you |
1716s | guys are making such a big deal this I'm |
1718s | the one who's losing in preds exactly I |
1720s | got like the worst rep over here and |
1722s | you're moaning about it I don't think so |
1724s | Prince Let's Go yeah let's let's just do |
1726s | it so uh let's start off with uh Danny's |
1729s | prediction actually uh he unfortunately |
1731s | isn't here but I still want to have his |
1733s | pick represented so a few weeks ago |
1736s | actually Jonathan you've been like all |
1738s | in on the Dallas fuel uh and that just |
1741s | so happened to be Danny's pick to win it |
1743s | was it so it was yeah so the surprise |
1746s | but now I want you to make a case for |
1750s | his case if that makes sense yeah I |
1752s | thought Danny was going with Toronto but |
1754s | okay if it's the Dallas fuel all right |
1756s | seven times in a row Dallas fuel is like |
1759s | the most layupie of layoff picks like |
1761s | they are the number one seed going into |
1763s | the tournament they are our most recent |
1765s | champions in the western for the summer |
1766s | showdown in a way and they are |
1769s | they have two of the best tanks in the |
1771s | game in fearless and hanbin it doesn't |
1773s | matter what the tank matter is because |
1775s | they're going to rock up with like a top |
1776s | three tank in any role possible four |
1778s | great damage players and a roll star |
1781s | worthy backline with Geo who has been |
1784s | our best rookie main support player one |
1785s | of the best lucios in the game and also |
1787s | fielder who earned himself a road star |
1789s | owners last year and I'm I I predict |
1792s | that he gets it this year again because |
1793s | he has been so phenomenal in that role |
1795s | so there you go the number one seed most |
1797s | recent stage Champions as well as roster |
1800s | full of Road Stars I think Dallas fuel |
1802s | they're an obvious pick to win it all |
1804s | but we got some more spicy stuff in |
1806s | store that's true so I mean Danny all |
1809s | right taking the lower hanging fruit but |
1810s | that's also why he's ahead of us in the |
1812s | predictions so he's true one would say |
1814s | he's smarter than us Johnny wants to go |
1817s | alone every single time and that's why |
1818s | he's at the bottom of the leaderboards |
1819s | unfortunately well it's |
1821s | well it will work out it will work its |
1824s | way out |
1825s | I'm reiterating wait we have an entire |
1828s | week okay to figure this out now uh I |
1830s | think the next one that's gonna be my |
1832s | pick and it should come it's no surprise |
1833s | or dare I say shock |
1836s | wow oh my God that's right I picked |
1840s | proper to win the grand finals who |
1843s | proper alone yeah while the San |
1845s | Francisco proppers |
1851s | uh no but a San Francisco shock is going |
1854s | to be my pick seems like an easy one too |
1857s | because they've won it twice why not |
1859s | make it three times uh however yes I |
1862s | have properness I've been harping on |
1863s | just how insanely talented he actually |
1867s | is uh of course the rest of the team is |
1869s | very stacked too but I think what really |
1870s | comes down to for me personally is the |
1872s | coaching of that team the fact that |
1874s | they've managed managed each and every |
1876s | season to be so competitive or even win |
1878s | it all with completely different rosters |
1881s | it really just speaks absolute books of |
1885s | the coaching from their team how they |
1887s | just always manage to make it |
1889s | competitive and I think just coaching in |
1892s | general is something that kind of goes |
1894s | under appreciated in our league we don't |
1896s | talk about it enough probably also |
1898s | because we don't have as much Insight in |
1900s | it as we would like to but I think shock |
1902s | is a prime example where coaching is |
1904s | really really on top of the game and |
1907s | this is what you need especially when |
1909s | the meta has shifted so close to the |
1911s | playoffs and to the finals like good |
1913s | coaching is essential and the shock they |
1915s | got it and also they still got proper if |
1918s | all else fails so there is that there's |
1919s | God who you got okay I'm going |
1922s | for the Gladiators I think the |
1924s | Gladiators have the most stacked roster |
1926s | in this league they have so much |
1928s | diversity depending on compositions and |
1930s | as you just said we're entering into a |
1932s | completely new meta and I think the |
1933s | Gladiators have no holes in it and I |
1936s | want to take a look at their resume from |
1937s | just this year because they have had a |
1940s | lot of success they are the most |
1941s | successful team this year they won the |
1943s | kickoff clash in the west the last time |
1945s | we had an International Tournament in |
1946s | the mid-season Madness they also won |
1948s | that as well obviously the elephant in |
1950s | the room is that for the summer Showdown |
1952s | and the jokes matter they did not make |
1953s | it but they have since bounced back in |
1955s | the countdown Cup going 6-0 I think the |
1958s | Gladiators are going to be back in a big |
1960s | way and if we're gonna play the dive |
1961s | style Reiner and Kessler when they're |
1964s | able to play that Winston Tracer that is |
1965s | why they were so successful in the |
1967s | kickoff Clash they have that hive mind |
1969s | mentality that the Dallas fuel we always |
1971s | trap but how good they are at that as |
1973s | well the Gladiators are gonna come up |
1975s | clutch and if that's not enough for you |
1976s | kiriko Mata shoot I don't even need to |
1980s | say more he's going to be so good at it |
1981s | we talked about how need to play |
1983s | aggressive on that hero and shoot is the |
1985s | mechanically the best one that we have |
1987s | in the league so I think the Gladiators |
1989s | are going to feel comfortable in this |
1990s | matter going into the playoffs yeah I |
1991s | don't think any of us actually ever |
1992s | de-boarded the shushu trains so we're |
1994s | still very very hyped on it and going |
1996s | it's my way to the Grand finals |
1997s | potentially now Jonathan as I said a few |
2000s | weeks ago you were still very high in |
2001s | the Dallas field I do believe you even |
2003s | said they're going to win it all but you |
2005s | just announced some spots can I pick two |
2007s | no no okay you cannot but this is this |
2009s | better be a spicy one who you got spicy |
2012s | one spicy give it to me well I felt a |
2014s | bit alone in this one I felt a bit |
2015s | lonely but then I realized that I |
2018s | actually have an army of supporters |
2019s | behind me oh boy this one goes out to |
2021s | the smurfets I'm going with the soul |
2024s | Dynasty all right and for good reason I |
2027s | mean they won their first start the |
2028s | stage title earlier this year the |
2029s | kickoff clash in the Eastern region of |
2031s | course and they have an incredible |
2032s | lineup first of all you have Smurf of |
2034s | course one of the best main tanks to |
2036s | ever play the game with the San |
2039s | Francisco shock he won the 2019 and the |
2041s | 2020 Grand finals of course just get his |
2043s | resume people want a bunch of stages and |
2046s | you want two grand finals and he brought |
2049s | that first stage title to Seoul Dynasty |
2052s | franchise you know League Of course and |
2055s | that's not all okay you have you have |
2056s | like an All-Star main tank what else do |
2059s | you got you got the greatest of all time |
2062s | it's profit all right he won the 2018 |
2065s | Grand finals with some incredible clutch |
2068s | plays you can see his resume as well and |
2069s | yeah they did It win 2020 but they got |
2072s | second so not only do you have one of |
2074s | the best tanks in the game in Smurf |
2075s | playing the Winston you also have |
2077s | arguably the best player of all time and |
2079s | the best Tracer in the game profit so if |
2081s | we're heading into a Winston enough |
2083s | Tracer meta this could be the most |
2085s | lethal duo in the game I don't care |
2087s | about you know watching some of the |
2089s | other teams around the place I just want |
2091s | to watch Smurf and profit dive on the |
2093s | Winston and the Tracer lineup this could |
2095s | be absolute Insanity they've been |
2097s | waiting for this medal to come around |
2098s | all year long and now when it's finally |
2100s | here I gotta go with the Seoul Dynasty |
2102s | alone if your nickname is playoff profit |
2105s | from good in the playoff because you |
2107s | don't |
2109s | you don't get by being bad in the |
2110s | playoffs so I'm very much looking |
2112s | forward to seeing Smurf and profit in |
2113s | action they got a stacked roster overall |
2115s | but those two star players they stand |
2117s | out for me it's just a slight little |
2118s | counter argument there yeah play of |
2120s | profit we know what you can do in the |
2122s | playoffs but we also know it's Soul |
2123s | historically does in the playoffs we'll |
2125s | play a prophet counter out play of souls |
2128s | they got second in 2020 come on that's |
2131s | pretty good right an immovable object |
2133s | hits an Unstoppable Force we'll find out |
2135s | are throwing shade at my page leave me |
2139s | alone with the smurfets Smurf heads full |
2141s | no that is unbelievable I didn't say |
2144s | this about your picture I'm sorry |
2148s | give me this come on now you know what |
2151s | though like you're a good salesman I |
2153s | would have absolutely bought the soul |
2154s | off of you you got you got me so hyped |
2156s | about seeing them on on a good |
2158s | old-fashioned dive that I almost want to |
2160s | change my brand yes |
2163s | the thing is against the rules this is |
2166s | who we got until the very end all right |
2168s | I died you better make this work for me |
2171s | uh anyway that's who we got winning it |
2174s | all of course this is still subject to |
2176s | change uh over the course of the next |
2178s | couple days but it is now time to get |
2180s | into the matches London versus Philly a |
2183s | repeat of our 2018 finals is the first |
2185s | match of the 2022 playoffs we'll get |
2187s | into that match right after we come back |
2189s | after this break |

2361s | [Music] |
2372s | welcome back to watch finds live here |
2373s | from Anaheim and in our fifth year we're |
2377s | going to throw it back to the inaugural |
2379s | watch League season London's Spitfire |
2381s | will be taken on the Philadelphia Fusion |
2383s | I know feels good to say that out loud |
2387s | and not just in my dreams of course the |
2389s | rosters have drastically changed over |
2392s | the years on the matter likely shifting |
2394s | as well so Cafe I want to hear it from |
2395s | you what do you want to see from that |
2397s | London Squad in this very meta and |
2399s | that's really the big question that a |
2400s | lot of us have the London spit by |
2402s | they've had a incredible season none of |
2404s | us predicted them to be this successful |
2406s | coming in at the number six sea just |
2407s | automatically qualifying for the |
2409s | playoffs so they have been successful |
2410s | but they've played a little different to |
2413s | everyone else has in this league so far |
2414s | they've always had that Ace up their |
2416s | sleeve which was playing that Reinhardt |
2418s | with chadian playing that Rush style |
2419s | catching teams off of guard but if we're |
2421s | going to have a look here at Hardy's map |
2423s | win rates right here very successful on |
2425s | the Reinhardt very successful on the |
2427s | Jungle Queen with Winston he's only won |
2429s | seven maps for a 41 map win rate so when |
2432s | they have had to play that dive style |
2434s | they haven't been as successful on the |
2436s | other things that they're more |
2437s | comfortable with as we go into this meta |
2440s | where it could be Winston kiriko like we |
2442s | are expecting what are the London |
2444s | Spitfire going to play do they go back |
2445s | to their comfort try and force Rush |
2447s | against teams that will not expect or |
2449s | have experience against it or will they |
2451s | stick to the matter will the matter be |
2452s | too important to play and they have to |
2454s | go against the brain of what usually |
2456s | makes them great obviously they're all |
2458s | still a great team backbone has shown us |
2460s | a lot of Versatility as of like playing |
2462s | other Heroes they have Khan joining |
2464s | their back line as well so who could be |
2466s | a very good mechanical player on the |
2467s | Kirito so that's really the big question |
2469s | that I have for London what are they |
2470s | going to play are they going to go back |
2472s | to their comfort or are they going to go |
2474s | to the Winston and defy the expectations |
2476s | that we've had from them this season |
2478s | absolutely now I mean some players might |
2480s | have to pick up different Heroes heading |
2482s | into this meta however I do think that |
2485s | sojourn still pretty good and the Damage |
2488s | line for the London Spitfire has been |
2490s | very impressive I specifically really |
2492s | want to take a look here at sparker a |
2494s | player which really really stood out on |
2496s | his sojourn and probably a player which |
2498s | a lot of people didn't have on their |
2500s | radar heading into the countdown copper |
2503s | General even into the season but I |
2505s | really think he held his own on that |
2506s | surgeon I have no idea why he was |
2508s | smiling like that I swear she was on my |
2509s | radar well in that case no one else |
2513s | Barry and Forrest had him on his radar |
2515s | but I mean playing sojourn like what you |
2518s | need to do is get those picks yeah that |
2520s | is your job and if you're doing that |
2521s | you're doing great and he has been doing |
2523s | that and uh some on top of that because |
2526s | he actually is third in first |
2527s | elimination rate in the entire season |
2529s | and first in the countdown Cup itself |
2532s | unfortunately the team is not doing very |
2535s | good at actually winning team fights on |
2537s | the back of those first links he's |
2538s | getting so he's pulling his weight and |
2541s | he's doing what he needs to do as a |
2542s | sojourn is now all up to the team to |
2545s | follow suit and follow up on those first |
2547s | Olympics because he has certainly been |
2548s | doing really well he spoke like a true |
2550s | ranked DPS player right there I'm |
2552s | getting the picks and everyone else |
2553s | really needs to step up for me right now |
2555s | if it's true it's straight up |
2558s | I wish I had a stacker like that in my |
2562s | rank game so I can you know show them |
2564s | that it's not it's not me it's you guys |
2566s | yeah that's that's how it is though I |
2568s | reinforced so I'm gonna I want to have a |
2570s | quick talk here about Philly because |
2573s | that team has been a bit of a conundrum |
2575s | and that's not true the season everyone |
2577s | that's been since their Inception uh so |
2580s | yeah the big question I think we all |
2582s | have here is the DPS I want to know |
2584s | who's going to level up in our new |
2586s | segment leveling up presented by |
2588s | Butterfinger yeah we got a couple of |
2590s | questions about the Philadelphia Fusion |
2592s | because of course cyst has been their |
2594s | standout damage players so far this |
2595s | season he's been he's a rookie on the |
2597s | team and he's been fantastic in that |
2599s | Flex damage role but he's sustained an |
2601s | injury just a couple months ago we saw |
2603s | him in a cast in his arm of course and |
2605s | he couldn't play the game so we had |
2607s | Carpe fill in now Carpe these no slouch |
2610s | oh all right Carpe is one of the best |
2613s | damage players to ever play the game and |
2615s | if we take a look at his all-time stats |
2617s | if you're new to your boss speakers you |
2619s | need to remember the name Carpe just |
2620s | take a look at the ranks second in hero |
2622s | damage second elimination second finals |
2624s | this is the per 10 minute set this is |
2627s | all time totals in the OverWatch League |
2629s | these five years we've been playing the |
2632s | game so Carpe he's one of the all-time |
2634s | greats throughout the league but if you |
2636s | take a look at this year he's taking a |
2638s | bit of a step back specifically on the |
2639s | Tracer which is his signature hero you |
2641s | can see third eliminations tied for |
2643s | fourth in front of blows but the hero |
2644s | damage isn't quite there and his pulse |
2646s | bomb kills he really needs to step that |
2648s | up for the playoffs now the Philadelphia |
2650s | Fusion they've already tweeted out the |
2652s | starting lineup in fact and it is going |
2654s | to be in fact mn3 and carface who we |
2656s | expect in this meta so we'll see the |
2659s | rumors are we're seeing a bit of Tracer |
2660s | and potentially Reaper in this meta as |
2662s | well with space to card base durable |
2664s | strengths and if you're really down on |
2666s | Carpe from his uh from his performances |
2668s | so far this year Custer he actually did |
2670s | look pretty decently recently yeah |
2672s | you're seeing replays of this match |
2673s | against Seoul Dynasty which was their |
2675s | most recent match that they played yes |
2677s | they did go on to lose but Sol is the |
2679s | best team that we have in the East and |
2680s | Carpe performed at a very high level |
2682s | better than a lot of us have seen from |
2684s | him this year so if Carpe comes back |
2685s | into form that could be a big thing for |
2687s | the Philadelphia Fusion I also would |
2689s | like to add quickly as well that if |
2690s | you're looking for someone to root for I |
2692s | would say that Carpe is the best player |
2694s | to never have won anything in the league |
2695s | so if you're hoping if you're really |
2698s | hoping for someone that like finally can |
2700s | win something a stage title a playoff |
2702s | championship Carpe is your guy he's been |
2705s | around forever he's an all-time great |
2706s | but he still hasn't won a tournament |
2707s | we're looking out for him to do that |
2709s | this is the chaos and and how fantastic |
2711s | to to have carpool again a legend |
2714s | potentially returning to Old form still |
2716s | playing for that Fusion team as well |
2718s | which I mean you said it before and I |
2721s | was actually not aware of that fact yeah |
2722s | he is the only player since the |
2724s | Inception of the OverWatch League to |
2726s | stay on the same team throughout forever |
2729s | coffee is literally the Philadelphia |
2730s | Fusion what it feels like at this point |
2732s | if he can come back into form and win |
2734s | the Philadelphia Fusion a championship |
2735s | at the very end it would be history he |
2739s | would be Monumental he would be crazy |
2740s | yeah that'd be a real good storyline |
2742s | also because Fusion just uh is very well |
2745s | known to be the bridesmaid always never |
2747s | the bride always coming second so maybe |
2749s | maybe this is the year where they change |
2751s | their Fortune uh for now though I do |
2753s | want to just take a look at our |
2755s | predictions for the very first match do |
2757s | we think that the potential Underdog |
2759s | London Spitfire will pull |
2763s | okay oh Danny you believe her |
2766s | Danny is a bit of a London Predator |
2768s | though yeah |
2770s | the guys you know a lot of times well |
2772s | here's the thing I'm actually surprised |
2773s | that so many of us went for the |
2774s | Philadelphia Fusion the London Spitfire |
2776s | are the higher sea for me the reason I |
2778s | went for Philadelphia Fusion is I think |
2779s | this meta winds more off with the way |
2781s | that they like to play the game compared |
2783s | to London but I would not be surprised |
2785s | Philadelphia Fusion will have no |
2787s | experience playing against the rush if |
2788s | that's the direction London want to go |
2790s | into so they could catch them off guard |
2791s | with the ace up their sleeve that they |
2793s | keep pulling yeah and it's weird that |
2795s | this is this Ace is not in their seat |
2796s | they're literally wearing it outside |
2798s | like this is not a surprise like if you |
2800s | play against the London Spitfire you |
2802s | should know that there is a potential of |
2803s | that Rush come coming at you yep so if |
2805s | you're not prepared for that uh chokes |
2808s | on you we'll see how it goes for the uh |
2812s | Philadelphia fusion in our first match |
2814s | here today but that's it for watchpoint |
2816s | it's now time to get the OverWatch |
2818s | League 2022 playoffs started the matches |
2821s | will start right now |
2827s | it started as a promise |
2830s | the promise of something different |
2833s | a promise of Heroes |
2838s | but the path to glory is never promised |
2848s | this is the largest mountain to climb |
2851s | [Music] |
2859s | but someone a glimmer of hope persists |
2863s | the promise of a new era the stakes get |
2867s | ratcheted up a notch |
2876s | an error that celebrates where we came |
2878s | from |
2881s | at a place we call Hope |
2883s | [Music] |
2887s | Heroes will Farm |
2889s | which Heroes will rise |
2892s | the OverWatch League playoffs start |
2895s | right now |
2904s | if OverWatch lives and breathes ladies |
2908s | and gentlemen then we are coming to you |
2909s | live from its Beating Heart that's right |
2912s | Anaheim starting to feel the Tremors of |
2915s | what is to come in an OverWatch |
2918s | 2022 playoffs Matthew what an exciting |
2921s | time it is finally we get our Top Cut of |
2924s | OverWatch League teams from across the |
2926s | world 12 of the very best converging at |
2929s | the Anaheim Convention Center to Viper |
2931s | Supremacy and of course the championship |
2934s | title |
2936s | yeah finally right it feels like a very |
2938s | long time these teams have been battling |
2940s | through I know regionals the mid-season |
2943s | tournament right you know to just |
2945s | play-ins to get here to this moment to |
2948s | have uh everybody Under One Roof being |
2950s | able to see you know the best OverWatch |
2952s | played with you know all of the new kind |
2954s | of editions which came through with the |
2956s | balance updates you know Rico new maps |
2958s | it'll be exciting to see absolutely so |
2961s | much ground to cover so much as well |
2963s | unknown territory we really are on the |
2965s | bleeding edge of developments here in |
2967s | the professional OverWatch scene and we |
2970s | have two teams to take this new patch |
2972s | for a spin up first that's right those |
2974s | sheets and those chairs rather are nice |
2976s | and shiny and these players are able to |
2977s | pop themselves in them and show us what |
2979s | they've been working on the Philadelphia |
2981s | Fusion and the London Spitfire both of |
2984s | these teams it's been a long time since |
2986s | they've gone head to head of course and |
2988s | it is a rematch of teams from our very |
2990s | first ever Grand Final map that you and |
2992s | I had to prep yeah the pleasure of |
2993s | presiding over in New York at the |
2995s | Barclay Center these two teams have been |
2998s | able to avoid play-ins crucially so |
3000s | they've both had plenty of time to |
3002s | acclimate to this new patch and prepare |
3004s | something special for us today |
3006s | yeah but both teams do come in with |
3008s | their own flaws right uh London they |
3010s | have a style of play that they would |
3012s | ideally like to play you know a rush |
3014s | style of play you know may see right |
3016s | around that Reinhardt with his Hardy |
3017s | specialty uh but sometimes that's always |
3019s | not in the meta right you know whether |
3020s | zarya comes in again or kind of stays in |
3023s | the meta or maybe we see some Winston |
3025s | could end up like affecting London's |
3027s | game a little bit and Philly I think is |
3029s | a franchise is uh you know they've had |
3031s | awesome teams going into these big |
3033s | moments that we've had and just for |
3035s | whatever reason not able to get the job |
3036s | done it's been a pretty tough season for |
3039s | the Philadelphia Fusion Matthew they in |
3042s | fact come into our 2022 playoffs with a |
3045s | negative win to loss uh not by a whole |
3047s | lot but by all accounts they're very |
3049s | much snuck in here to the the playoff |
3051s | cut off in that Eastern region this is a |
3054s | team that has had high highs and some |
3056s | pretty low lows across the course of the |
3058s | year but then went out to adapt they've |
3060s | been able to keep Pace with many of the |
3061s | Front Runners so many of the match-ups |
3064s | that featured the fusion and the Soul |
3065s | Dynasty for example that we tout as one |
3068s | of the very best in the East went to |
3070s | five Maps so this Philadelphia Fusion |
3072s | team definitely knows how to take it to |
3074s | those top teams a really tough matchup |
3077s | on their hands today as well as we have |
3078s | a a different look at the roster as |
3081s | venerated captain of yesteryear comes in |
3084s | Carpe will be playing at DPS |
3088s | what what does he bring to the table |
3090s | right like you know we've heard teams |
3091s | maybe experimenting playing some Tracer |
3093s | here in this meta coming into playoffs |
3095s | that what we see from Carpe uh you know |
3097s | zest has been very good throughout the |
3100s | season so to not have him available here |
3102s | for the playoffs is pretty difficult |
3104s | again |
3106s | the last time these two teams played was |
3107s | here back in 2019 with zest out of the |
3111s | picture for the time being |
3114s | the fusion are gonna have to rely on |
3115s | something else now it was highlighted on |
3117s | the desk I think Scott wanted to make a |
3118s | real point of this that when Carpe did |
3120s | come in despite his detractors it's |
3122s | despite people sort of criticizing his |
3124s | ability to keep up with these young guns |
3126s | that keep getting brought into teams |
3127s | like the fusion he had a really solid |
3129s | showing on his team he's a veteran he's |
3132s | obviously had to flex those leadership |
3133s | muscles a heck of a lot |
3135s | and this team ups and downs but again |
3138s | I'm expecting to see big things from |
3140s | them as they've had time to prepare |
3141s | prepare for this patch and you'll notice |
3143s | that bellisria here in the starting |
3144s | lineup quite often a play we saw on dive |
3147s | tanks for the Philadelphia Fusion we'll |
3149s | expand upon that in a moment let's now |
3151s | bring out the London Spitfire a team |
3154s | again who really have blown their |
3156s | expectations out of the water this year |
3158s | Matthew |
3160s | yeah and look I think I think you kind |
3162s | of thought this team would be like a |
3163s | fringe playoff team they were really |
3165s | good uh throughout periods of the Season |
3167s | uh Admiral and Landon in terms of the |
3170s | supports here to start things off I |
3171s | think that means you're not going to |
3172s | really see any of those Flex supports |
3174s | maybe we see some of uh koriko maybe we |
3176s | see some Lucio uh in play and then uh |
3179s | even when kanazaria was strong at points |
3182s | like they still kind of kept Hardy in so |
3184s | party will stay in in that tank roll but |
3186s | for me a huge match up here Mitch is |
3188s | like between sparker and mn3 I think |
3191s | that it's gonna be a crazy matchup as |
3193s | we've seen both of them play some insane |
3195s | soldier in all year long yeah during the |
3196s | countdown cop I think sparka been |
3198s | excellent all year but really came alive |
3200s | on the slow turn again was noted in the |
3202s | pre-show the kind of player setting up a |
3204s | lot of those early pick picks that were |
3206s | not always able to be capitalized upon |
3208s | by the rest of his team he does come out |
3211s | of the countdown cup number one in hero |
3213s | damage on sojourn crucially second in |
3216s | Solo kills something again that's very |
3218s | closely tied to the ability need a |
3220s | manufacture a first pick to give your |
3222s | team that five versus four and enable |
3224s | you to ease into a fight that you hope |
3226s | to win based on that player Advantage |
3228s | this match is not an elimination match |
3231s | for either of these two teams a loser |
3233s | would then fall down to the lower |
3234s | bracket but still a lot on the line you |
3237s | really want to avoid these hungry teams |
3239s | also falling down in the lower bracket |
3240s | and their fight for survival is scary |
3243s | especially when well I think it actually |
3246s | so it's obviously not an elimination |
3247s | match but uh with a new meta kind of |
3251s | forming I think you would really go into |
3253s | panic mode losing this match for either |
3256s | of these teams if you're at London it's |
3258s | like do you have the roster to be |
3259s | flexible enough to cover the different |
3261s | types of things we could see throughout |
3262s | this playoff week uh and if you're |
3264s | Philly |
3266s | kind of breeds into more of the same and |
3268s | which has kind of happened and plagued |
3270s | them throughout playoffs in their |
3271s | history |
3272s | of course ladies and gentlemen this will |
3273s | be a first to three series hit loser |
3276s | selecting Maps Lee Jong Tao are going to |
3278s | be coming up first and we wait with |
3280s | baited Brent here to see what these |
3282s | teams have developed in the time that |
3284s | they've had the Spitfire being at sixth |
3286s | place in the west region like I |
3287s | mentioned are able to circumvent that |
3289s | grueling play in stage that saw Florida |
3291s | Mayhem just go absolutely hock Wild on |
3294s | their opposition so you think they've |
3295s | been prepping something but what we |
3297s | normally see from Hardy of course is |
3299s | very Reinhardt Centric play this is a |
3302s | patch this is a matter that may not |
3303s | allow for that as smoothly as before but |
3305s | London have always bucked the trend |
3308s | every time they've been told you can't |
3310s | play right in this matter they bring him |
3312s | out they play May especially on control |
3314s | maps and they frustrate the heck out of |
3316s | their opponents we'll see if they're |
3318s | able to get away with it here or if it's |
3319s | something different up their sleeves |
3322s | it he and you know how much experience |
3324s | let's say if they did end up pulling |
3326s | some of those Reinhardt different |
3327s | compositions out does Philly have |
3329s | against that type of play style I I |
3331s | don't think much uh but I also just |
3333s | don't think Reinhardt is in a spot right |
3335s | now that's gonna be quite useful in this |
3338s | type of meta I think you're gonna be |
3340s | looking at four you know if you're gonna |
3341s | play karika and you find Curry could be |
3343s | strong right with the things he said she |
3344s | provides you're gonna play an aggressive |
3347s | style of play right you're going to be |
3349s | playing fast so you're going to be |
3350s | looking at characters like Winston uh no |
3353s | even sojourn who can get into the mix |
3354s | and throw a little bit more for a longer |
3357s | range damage dealer as looks like both |
3359s | teams here at the start you know Bob |
3361s | Winston has the tank with the Lucio |
3363s | carrico as that back line then yeah |
3365s | Reaper in the mix with sojourn so uh |
3368s | Reaper really gonna try and compete |
3370s | become a nuisance to the enemy Winston |
3372s | Dallas real solo early on perhaps not |
3374s | expecting to Reaper there but Carpe is |
3377s | also on that particular pick Landon of |
3379s | course able to capitalize on that large |
3380s | Winston headbox inflation there with one |
3383s | of those knives a great opening here |
3385s | with Brothers three are already out of |
3386s | the mix for Philly not on auspicious |
3388s | start for them |
3390s | and you don't know what actually he took |
3392s | large chunk of damage from uh it could |
3395s | have been a sojourn rail shot uh could |
3397s | have been reaper I also like uh you know |
3399s | it could have been like a rail shop |
3401s | what's like the kariko headshot right |
3402s | the correct that's triple damage I mean |
3404s | really oh take out an enemy quickly and |
3407s | that's gonna be another three hitting a |
3409s | rail shot of the spark it's the perfect |
3410s | opening here Justice spark is starting |
3412s | to get comfortable and it's the team |
3414s | holding the point he can play in a |
3416s | pocket of safety he picked out of the |
3418s | mix pretty much straight away and now |
3420s | the fusion will only try and hold the |
3422s | bridge as much as they can to release |
3423s | try and Telegraph the enemy Winston's |
3425s | movements towards them here bear in mind |
3427s | a lot of free sojour in charge coming |
3428s | off of these Winston bubbles so may see |
3430s | more of those rails here is the fusion |
3432s | give up the point |
3434s | they just get bullied off uh they get |
3437s | that first pick they flip for a little |
3438s | bit and then they just get fully back |
3440s | off of the point here by London to |
3443s | London able to get control again uh both |
3445s | teams will have their three coat so |
3446s | expect to see loads of damage and fast |
3449s | action coming soon here it is |
3451s | trying to catch Hardy in the middle of |
3453s | their team and he gets absolutely blown |
3454s | to Smithereens they could open up both |
3456s | teams lay down the roads as Carpe wants |
3459s | to push out here the sound barrier used |
3461s | by fixer something not available to the |
3463s | Spitfire in that fight and maybe a key |
3465s | component of them regaining control at |
3467s | some point backbone needs to be wary |
3470s | and I think even if London had that some |
3473s | barrier it's better off to save it |
3474s | because now you can come in and engage |
3475s | with the sound barrier connects onto |
3477s | everybody and look at this they get a |
3478s | kill right over that's glossy fellas |
3480s | caught out of position at the start of |
3481s | that fight he gets boost to the side as |
3483s | the Spitfire engage with that sound |
3485s | barrier he's forced to look on and |
3486s | display as the rest of his team are sent |
3488s | to the Chop Shop |
3491s | you just need that sound barrier right |
3493s | they use the overclock there as well for |
3495s | sparkler to get high charge on that |
3496s | Soldier and just hit a rail shot quick |
3498s | see if Billy tries to push in here |
3500s | you could end up seeing like a death |
3502s | boss in front backward but he's not even |
3503s | gonna need it unbelievable picks here |
3505s | from sparka first up on mm3 protection |
3507s | Susie thrown down there it's getting a |
3509s | little bit dicey for Carpe he's trying |
3510s | to farm Hardy for a little bit of that |
3512s | help but he can turn into a edgy pancake |
3514s | yes as the Winston jump claims him and |
3516s | the Spitfire now head to 72 crucially |
3519s | death Blossom available here for both |
3521s | sides and the Primal raid will be in |
3524s | play |
3525s | if I just had his Philly attack and it's |
3527s | like London is playing so close and so |
3529s | aggro that if Philly is gonna try and |
3531s | get towards that point they're probably |
3533s | gonna have to spend a ton of multiples |
3534s | to do so and when they get there it's |
3536s | probably gonna be like most you know 95 |
3537s | for London for London can save and be |
3540s | pretty conservative in this fight and |
3541s | then just come back and win one more |
3543s | cinnamon three again who serves that |
3545s | pickup on a platter we'll do the fusion |
3547s | means already fight for their meal here |
3549s | but if we don't seem like apex predators |
3551s | right now that's a death Blossom there |
3553s | that was from backbones Harper is going |
3555s | to get out of the rainfall Kieran |
3556s | villasreas trying to disperse the |
3558s | Spitfire as well as he can across the |
3559s | point him in three with the overclock |
3561s | it's a lot of damage mostly just getting |
3562s | pumped into Hardy right now who's able |
3564s | to get away lands are not so lucky |
3565s | though his head against the steaming |
3567s | hole Port through it and carp he's able |
3569s | to bring sparker down to Fusion they |
3571s | fight dominantly for this point but as |
3574s | you highlighted Matthew the Spitfire |
3575s | will have plenty of time to get back in |
3577s | the driver's seat |
3579s | plenty of time I think this next fight |
3581s | though will be pretty interesting and |
3582s | pretty telling about how you know this |
3584s | could go where London could end up using |
3586s | this casino rush and getting the point |
3587s | back rather quickly uh but Philly a |
3590s | really good counter to that is you just |
3591s | kind of send that Reaper in with the |
3592s | death Blossom just force everybody out |
3594s | of that area so they lose some of that |
3596s | attack protection says you can buy a |
3598s | little bit of time to get away from the |
3599s | epicenter of that death Blossom where |
3601s | the Carpe positions this correctly |
3604s | speed Fire won't know what is coming |
3606s | against Parker much like mn3 has been |
3609s | probing here at the start of these |
3610s | fights nothing easy to farm for this |
3613s | charger till the bubble comes down he |
3614s | can build some of that up but m3's |
3615s | already found Admiral headshot with the |
3617s | railgun the perfect game to go here |
3619s | whatever the Spitfire were cooking up |
3620s | and they're out of the picture again |
3623s | so they had to use sound barrier uh to |
3626s | engage there and go in and make a play |
3627s | but you're looking at like last fight |
3629s | territory so at least Philly gives |
3631s | themselves a puncher's chance here at |
3633s | the end right with how good sojourn is |
3634s | with like some fun shot potentials you |
3636s | see mn3 just trying to form some damage |
3638s | there to be able to get like a |
3639s | high-powered rail the one shot whether |
3641s | it be on like a Lucio or a grigo steals |
3643s | the deal for your team Conway trying to |
3644s | preempt the fight he recently can't |
3646s | spockner immediately it's another sound |
3647s | barrier only applied to four players |
3649s | Copper's able to be seen Gage While most |
3652s | of this sound barrier expires and that |
3654s | ice in the hole for the land of speedify |
3655s | gets used a little prematurely here |
3657s | blender looks like also there was a |
3659s | casino Rush involved in that last fight |
3661s | to the Spitfire now a little underarm as |
3663s | they're trying to approach the point |
3664s | once more and Bella three are going for |
3666s | the Primal Rage was hoping for a |
3667s | knockback kill but look at the damage on |
3669s | him there he'll Circle back with sparkle |
3671s | and backbone have already done their |
3672s | fair share of damage Venice that's |
3675s | expired he's down and it's only aim God |
3676s | left nowhere to jump to here has a |
3679s | London Spitfire come out on top this one |
3682s | is gonna be quite the brawl |
3684s | very back and forth though and you just |
3687s | see how powerful the overclock is and |
3689s | sparker was you know towards the later |
3691s | half of the season right one of the |
3693s | better sojourns we had you know in the |
3695s | western region uh really able to come up |
3697s | with clutch plays time and time again so |
3699s | Admiral nice movement on the Lucio able |
3701s | to get in get that touch but sparker and |
3703s | backbone sealed the deal there for |
3705s | London |
3707s | for him in three so many of his kills in |
3709s | fact almost all of them come as first |
3711s | picks in those fights right which is |
3713s | huge to to open up those engagements |
3715s | where backbone just gets them for |
3716s | himself into the mix here you see he |
3718s | waits for a carpet already falling |
3720s | crazy to say that this is almost |
3722s | Overkill in this situation saw the |
3724s | protection Susie used there by aim God |
3726s | not really able to benefit from that is |
3728s | just Butler Surya getting lit up for a |
3730s | moment and then eventually getting comes |
3732s | out of size |
3734s | yes no comp changes here going into the |
3738s | next round here on lijiang Tower is I I |
3740s | think these are going to be some of the |
3742s | comps that we see throughout like a |
3743s | majority of the playoffs uh you know |
3745s | Reaper really good in terms of like |
3747s | self-survivability and also putting |
3749s | pressure on to that you know Winston uh |
3751s | has a little bit of an involvement of |
3753s | himself being able to escape with a raid |
3754s | form uh and then Soldier if you know how |
3757s | powerful she is at the highest levels |
3759s | the players just nailed these shots so |
3761s | easy with those in play you definitely |
3764s | need something else to answer just a |
3766s | very large Health pool of the Winston |
3768s | spark of charge up here Matt oh a lot of |
3770s | pressure being put down there Philly |
3772s | extremely low |
3773s | they're not in a great position to |
3775s | contest right now mn3 hope to find a |
3777s | rail down there as he peeks the |
3778s | left-hand side comes in with very little |
3780s | on this big fire doing a great job of |
3781s | just pulling the fusion away from the |
3783s | objective here again but that's where |
3784s | he's out of position for the time being |
3785s | becoming a knock across on the left-hand |
3787s | side the Spitfire happy for the future |
3789s | figure out how to get to them first |
3793s | the first fighter the real difference |
3794s | there where is like sparker hits a rail |
3796s | shot you just gets a player too weak and |
3799s | just backs them up but this is going to |
3800s | be the casino Rush right away the |
3801s | protection there giving everybody the |
3803s | involved for a little bit Ned Phil he's |
3805s | gonna die |
3806s | okay that's enough to clean this good |
3807s | fire away but eventually they get a look |
3809s | to be coming back to reclaim once |
3810s | there's Point does get flipped into this |
3812s | fight here and it's going to be a sound |
3813s | barrier now for the fusion who want to |
3815s | hold on to this but it comes a little |
3816s | later from the Spitfire which means |
3818s | right now they have that extra |
3819s | durability Advantage sparket doesn't opt |
3822s | to go through a rail guard here the |
3823s | fusion again just gets shuffed away from |
3825s | the objective then a point split back |
3828s | London just seems to have a great |
3830s | understanding of like the pace and flow |
3833s | of the game right now in terms of the |
3834s | meta right where they know they can back |
3836s | off for a quick second to give up for a |
3838s | little bit they know they have the |
3839s | ultimates the abilities just in general |
3841s | to be able to flip that right back and |
3842s | get the advantage it's two players with |
3845s | that death Blossom Belgium has to use |
3846s | Primal and he's gonna get absolutely |
3848s | nothing for it it's London in complete |
3850s | control regardless of the better game |
3852s | this is actually something London are |
3853s | very good at doing right they control |
3854s | the point they push up and then someone |
3856s | just gets a little out of position in |
3857s | that case it was aim God who had to |
3859s | switch step away but he's already taken |
3861s | so much damage and Hardy had a jump |
3863s | available to go in the block Unico |
3865s | that's a great way to begin the fight |
3867s | this is a very effective Sony ornament |
3868s | for the most part give Bella three a |
3870s | cops one sweet there is he's forced back |
3872s | for even longer at 72 this is a mirror |
3875s | image of last round so far how did the |
3876s | fusion give back him now with that mn3 |
3879s | and he also have Hardy with a primal Ray |
3881s | drain as they try and push in use some |
3883s | of that speed death Blossom that's gonna |
3886s | result in nothing as you're just so |
3887s | desperate Mitch streaming in terms of |
3889s | bully Cafe just looking for anything at |
3891s | this stage still London gives them |
3892s | absolutely nothing it's a light could |
3894s | turn their rocks from the Spitfire and |
3895s | they're going to use this to capitalize |
3896s | here this is so classy from the London |
3899s | Spitfire man they know that katuna Rush |
3901s | has a limited length so they disengage |
3903s | so the fusion had to move off of their |
3906s | own kiriko ultimate and lose that Heist |
3908s | bonus and then they use one of their own |
3909s | as they're getting pushed into lovely |
3912s | stuff from London Spitfire just there |
3914s | comprehension about like you said man |
3916s | the way this meta game works at least in |
3918s | this matchup really shining through |
3921s | and you can see where they put down that |
3922s | continue Rush where Hardy was actually |
3924s | able to you know get in the middle of it |
3926s | use some of it on the outside then dip |
3928s | back into it then go to the other side |
3929s | and go you know attention to the players |
3931s | and put some pressure down and still |
3933s | have that Ace buff really good use of |
3936s | the character there at the start of the |
3937s | London Spitfire yeah great opening and |
3939s | again backbone really critical on that |
3942s | Reaper you know in terms of skill |
3944s | expression and that a hero not always |
3946s | easy to show you the highest of heights |
3948s | and the peaks of what Reaper is capable |
3950s | of doing but backbone's the perfect kind |
3952s | of player to put him on like a |
3954s | consistent output hero that has a very |
3956s | impactful area of effect ultimate he's |
3958s | exactly where he needs to be he stays |
3960s | alive and he's there when it counts nice |
3963s | stuff here for the londoners to fly good |
3964s | opener is Philadelphia now left |
3965s | scratching their heads how do they |
3967s | answer this they're losing out in the |

4215s | games tickets available now |
4221s | and so it's a shell-shocked Philadelphia |
4223s | Fusion that we see Ocean's about Matt |
4227s | can they acclimate to this matter does |
4229s | Hardy have what it takes to to strap on |
4231s | that Winston and just go absolutely wild |
4232s | the answer I guess to both questions is |
4234s | yes London with their coaching staff who |
4237s | we've just spent a lot of time |
4238s | complimenting this season have crafted a |
4241s | style that seems to suit their approach |
4243s | really well they're an aggressive |
4244s | Relentless team who'd love to identify |
4247s | and then make the most of small gaps |
4249s | small opportunities to push in and get a |
4251s | Fight Win very impressive opening from |
4253s | London |
4254s | yeah and although it's like a |
4256s | winston-based camp right you wouldn't |
4258s | necessarily call it something like |
4260s | reminiscent of a dive right like if you |
4262s | kind of subbed out the Winston for let's |
4263s | say gazaria you would probably be |
4265s | calling this comp that looks very |
4267s | similar to something like a a rush style |
4269s | of play which is right in the London |
4271s | spitfire's wheelhouse like that's the |
4273s | exact style of play they want to do so |
4275s | uh at least after that map one good |
4277s | things looking for the London Spitfire |
4278s | yeah really enjoyed the way Dimensions |
4280s | get a lot of value out of Reaper again |
4283s | we discussed it a little bit the back |
4284s | lines here quite often you know you're |
4286s | looking for a bit of utility from your |
4287s | supports the kind of utility in some |
4289s | cases when you use Zenyatta that can let |
4291s | you pressure down tanks a little bit |
4292s | easier especially once they don't have |
4294s | static shielding |
4295s | but because that's not available |
4371s | give a lot of ground in that first map |
4373s | right you mentioned they were getting |
4374s | bullied away a lot it definitely seemed |
4376s | like they were disengaging quite |
4378s | frequently uh you know at the risk of |
4380s | just getting blown out in a straight-up |
4381s | fight |
4382s | and I think you probably see them |
4384s | disengaged because I thought actually in |
4386s | the first map you know Sparkle was doing |
4388s | a great job nailing some of those shots |
4389s | on the sojourn right those rail shots |
4391s | can just take like large chunks of HP uh |
4395s | from an opponent and also there's like |
4397s | not a lot of like burst healing right |
4398s | like you don't have like a Baptiste like |
4400s | regenerative bursts or just the healing |
4401s | that he provides like you're playing |
4402s | Lucio |
4404s | and that's a beautiful shot there dude |
4407s | we've seen backbone do that oh there's a |
4408s | small iPhone |
4410s | historically not historically a |
4413s | Widowmaker player but has been able to |
4415s | do that time and time again oh he's got |
4417s | to let him know he doesn't need Matt |
4418s | backbone switching over the reaper now |
4420s | because his work ostensibly is done no |
4423s | sojourn at the start of the fight for |
4424s | the Philadelphia Fusion |
4426s | they have to disengage there no doubt |
4428s | about it find a way to come back in here |
4430s | and then they go here's the die fellas |
4432s | we have booped up and gonna be blown up |
4433s | pretty quickly he's like gonna get out |
4435s | there's gonna be protection suzu |
4437s | employed to make sure he can walk away |
4438s | in one piece the londoners could fire |
4441s | almost three ticks on this point already |
4442s | and oh God the fusion step off the |
4445s | points |
4447s | uh it's it's playoff time you can tell |
4450s | by the way the Billy Fusion are playing |
4452s | right now it's uh oh man is uh you know |
4456s | not the best of starts right now from |
4458s | Philly is uh and wide I mean London now |
4461s | 5 30 plus on the clock uh you gotta have |
4466s | like some type of like big play if you |
4467s | like happen for Philly right you get |
4469s | like a fight win you know something |
4470s | really goes your way you can start to |
4472s | build some momentum because right now |
4473s | London I mean every time we go to like |
4475s | individual shots and player can't trade |
4477s | everybody's laughing they're loose they |
4478s | feel like they have a great |
4479s | understanding of the game I I don't let |
4482s | up do that the London Spitfire they they |
4484s | can take it though don't don't worry |
4485s | there have been many teams that have |
4487s | been more than happy to have fun at |
4489s | their expense in Years Gone by but now |
4490s | they've worked for this to be a team |
4492s | that can threaten the likes of the |
4494s | fusion and they're making the most of it |
4496s | in the match chat Philly though |
4498s | very much focused on the next phase of |
4500s | the plan which is go oh God help us oh |
4502s | God stop the Spitfire at all costs |
4504s | they're going to continue their ass up |
4505s | their sleeve here they've got to keep |
4506s | Carpe alive they're open up able to |
4508s | reach him and he's continuation both |
4510s | teams now this is gonna be pretty |
4511s | intense man |
4513s | I mean just so much damage that's |
4516s | unanswered but you have the sound |
4517s | barrier available for the London |
4518s | Spitfire first let's see if they can |
4520s | capitalize in that brief moment they do |
4521s | they get a kill on AIM that's huge picks |
4523s | a win for the sound barrier but angle |
4525s | wasn't able to have Capital benefit from |
4526s | it rather now Sparky comparing from the |
4529s | periphery but backbone's able to clean |
4530s | up Carpe with the death Blossom mn3 |
4534s | finding an exit kill will call it as he |
4536s | backs on away very quiet start for the |
4538s | fusion here |
4541s | and you also had a little bit of a |
4542s | window there where Admiral had the sound |
4545s | barrier in the Philadelphia Fusion are |
4547s | still kind of like building up towards |
4548s | it in Philly gets it probably like I |
4551s | don't know like three four seconds after |
4552s | but that's enough for London to locate a |
4554s | player who's we can finish him off which |
4555s | I think Spock is on the clock oh he was |
4558s | carbon gets picked up for the start I |
4559s | propose absolutely nothing as far as we |
4561s | can tell he just walks up to the car |
4564s | West with the right maybe he doesn't |
4566s | expect a face full of Hellfire shotgun |
4568s | pellets from backbone and that's another |
4571s | checkpoint given up by the fusion they |
4573s | had four players alive they're under a |
4575s | little pressure granted but it's not a |
4577s | great look either as the Spitfire now |
4578s | are absolutely blasting through the map |
4580s | and air backbone love a little bit of |
4582s | checkers |
4584s | yeah being able to get that uh |
4586s | teleported midair I saw a clip uh |
4588s | seagull playing symmetry he was able to |
4590s | get a sick teleport back on the map uh |
4593s | just the attack here man this is an |
4595s | insane time from the London Spitfire |
4597s | four minutes plus to take the final |
4600s | point and it's not even just the final |
4602s | footage like they're gonna get like |
4603s | almost around this corner where the the |
4605s | end of the map is right there pompe just |
4608s | trying to keep people away from the card |
4609s | key you notice he's really not extending |
4611s | outside of the payload sphere of |
4613s | influence Connie too deep it's going to |
4615s | be another continue Rush deploy here and |
4616s | God doesn't have his yet backbone's |
4618s | gonna be firing extremely fast and I |
4620s | think the you should know we can't find |
4622s | them inside this ultimate |
4626s | what do you do I mean sparker is able to |
4628s | get to you have the reaper on the cart |
4630s | you can't get rid of him Victor touches |
4632s | even though there's nobody to teleport |
4634s | to and that is |
4636s | 884. this is a Philadelphia map pick |
4639s | score in the London Spitfire on their |
4642s | opponent's map pick just runs it down |
4646s | finishes the map with 407 in the bank I |
4650s | mean I watch the aim God try to heal |
4652s | fixer right with the uh the overdose |
4653s | like he's trying to give out like you |
4655s | know first class tickets to morbius and |
4657s | fixes like no no no I don't want that |
4658s | just you can't get any of the healing |
4660s | because the bloody bubble just got |
4661s | dropped on top of the card and not a lot |
4663s | going on so London Spitfire feeling very |
4665s | good 20 final blows for the whole of the |
4668s | Spitfire eight of those for backbone |
4670s | seven for sparker a poultry five for the |
4672s | Philadelphia Fusion oh dear they are not |
4674s | ready for this car paint unable to get |
4676s | on the board with that Reaper where his |
4677s | backbone has been cutting a bloody swap |
4679s | through his opponents |
4681s | I think uh the London Spitfire in the |
4684s | chat there are there talk about secret |
4687s | agent in James Bond I assume you know |
4689s | Carpe uh there's a thing in car you know |
4691s | you put up that uh oh and seven the 007 |
4693s | it was a little James Bond stat line |
4697s | there you start the half that's rough |
4701s | broken piece |
4703s | now switch steps available |
4706s | but he touches the okay so he touches |
4708s | the death zone before that ability can |
4710s | actually activate now bear in mind |
4711s | there's there is like a little bit of a |
4713s | channel to it yeah right and there also |
4715s | wasn't a vulnerability window uh with |
4717s | that ability but a vulnerability sort of |
4720s | frames don't really care about |
4721s | environmental deaths you sort of will |
4722s | die regardless of those it overwrites |
4724s | them and plus that invulnerability phase |
4726s | has been cut much shorter in the latest |
4728s | patch |
4730s | how do you bounce back from this if |
4732s | you're Philly like bro you need carpet |
4735s | you chose coffee wake up yeah you coming |
4738s | there it is okay in there there it is |
4740s | yeah |
4741s | two o'clock going off there back time's |
4743s | gonna be dispatched early here and three |
4744s | has a pocket to play in the National's |
4746s | not able to get out of his line inside |
4747s | quickly enough |
4748s | good start for the fusion here two big |
4751s | picks to open things up as fit five |
4752s | maybe not expecting diffusion to probe |
4755s | in that particular manner Carpe just had |
4757s | that one on a silver platter but it'll |
4758s | take it |
4759s | yeah beautiful start there I mean that |
4761s | you you can I I asked like how do you |
4763s | bounce back if you're Philly and that's |
4765s | exactly how right you end up getting |
4767s | Carpe in getting Carpe and kill and then |
4769s | three able to hit a nice rail shot in I |
4772s | think even if you don't get the best |
4773s | game from carpet you know Emmett three |
4775s | starts to do some of the things that |
4776s | you've seen throughout you know his run |
4778s | throughout the season on the sojourn uh |
4780s | it doesn't really even matter what |
4781s | happens with your Reaper right I I think |
4783s | you could really start to turn that's a |
4785s | great point I mean can you can you |
4786s | expect that out of MN Free Ride who's |
4789s | you know obviously coming into this team |
4791s | pretty fresh start of the year |
4794s | uh I don't want to say it's easy to play |
4797s | great during the regular season it's not |
4799s | but you know you got some teams in the |
4802s | regular season you know |
4804s | not up the car with some of the way that |
4805s | some of the teams here in the playoffs |
4806s | are gonna play like now is the time you |
4809s | gotta show up like it's great you show |
4810s | up and you know week two of the summer |
4812s | Showdown but really this is what matters |
4814s | the most uh if you can't put those |
4816s | performances here in the playoffs and |
4818s | against the top teams it kind of goes |
4820s | for not interestingly there backbone |
4822s | again gets caught by the start of that |
4824s | fight there is the Spitfire defensively |
4826s | finding a little bit hard to navigate |
4827s | their Winston composition |
4830s | just looking good for Philly Dude too |
4832s | look I mean you're gonna have five volts |
4834s | coming into this fight Admiral not even |
4836s | close to sound barrier with how fast |
4838s | these fights have gone in favor of the |
4840s | Philadelphia Fusion as you're in a spot |
4843s | where Philly where you could actually |
4844s | put yourself in a position if you win |
4845s | this fight it's actually end up with |
4847s | like four time in the bank going into |
4849s | that final checkpoint bear in mind these |
4852s | shots Pierce |
4854s | Fusion definitely got a bright line of |
4856s | sight and trying to avoid clumping up |
4858s | there around the car party trying to |
4859s | stop them here as they go in sound |
4860s | barrier for fixer Nails Landon's gonna |
4862s | go over the consume they Rock him in |
4863s | three much of this damage being |
4865s | dedicated to the enemy Winston he needs |
4866s | to get him out of a picture here over |
4868s | the top he comes again I ain't gone oh |
4870s | here okay yep can't get out of that he |
4873s | actually switch steps to a teammate as |
4874s | he goes over the edge and gets caught in |
4876s | that death loss and by backbone who now |
4878s | turning up here in the second half |
4880s | I tell you what though man that was the |
4883s | fight that they needed to win for the |
4884s | Philadelphia Fusion now you're gonna |
4885s | allow the London Spitfire to stabilize |
4887s | here you know get control of the top of |
4890s | the castle sparker is going to be able |
4892s | to rain down I mean this is such a good |
4893s | angle for the sojourn like you do not |
4895s | want to be trying to fight that angle |
4897s | from no low to high trying to hit those |
4899s | shots see the disrupter shot just end up |
4901s | there like kind of forces him off that |
4903s | ledge just trying to get them into that |
4905s | castle probably just drop the show I |
4907s | will be up here for Sparkle which gets |
4908s | extra annoying if you try and take the |
4909s | stairs as the fusion |
4911s | day instead up to |
4913s | well uh dally a little bit here |
4916s | they're trying to get the drunkenstein |
4918s | challenges fair enough cramped by their |
4920s | land boys |
4925s | such as you know put the way to get |
4930s | through the door just blocks it in look |
4931s | at that beltrio goes right over the top |
4933s | and the London Spitfire they just sound |
4935s | better and speed boost right on through |
4937s | and backbone just insta kills carpet |
4939s | that's not the first time that the |
4940s | London Spitfire have done that this is |
4941s | characteristic of them and we saw it |
4943s | actually on Legion tower garden right |
4945s | bellisria tries to engage he gets pooped |
4948s | to the side and then Admiral sound |
4949s | barriers speed boost the rest of the |
4951s | team man Bellator is caught outside the |
4953s | plate |
4954s | terrible for Philly as well as it took |
4957s | like what it took like a minute off the |
4959s | clock to set all that up uh and it was |
4962s | over in seconds I mean they really got |
4964s | nothing for it is look at his hottie |
4966s | just getting a good survey of the |
4967s | Lansing where everybody's moving for the |
4969s | Philadelphia Fusion they can set up this |
4971s | next fight |
4972s | ER losing charge here this is not made |
4975s | contact with a foe for a minute but he's |
4977s | still maintained a little bit |
4980s | the shop give me a tickle there Hardy |
4982s | and |
4988s | Winston but Hardy taken licking as a |
4991s | result still able to play around the |
4993s | card ah Philadelphia they want to push |
4994s | this in it's backlines death Blossom |
4996s | though that is a Death Note for the |
4999s | fusion it's another push getting stuff |
5001s | and Hardy has been so aggressive man |
5004s | getting into the back line of the |
5006s | Philadelphia fusion and they have not |
5008s | made him pay for it at all and how many |
5010s | times do we see balustria just jump in |
5012s | and he's getting hit with whether it's a |
5014s | headshot from the kariko and some you |
5016s | know sojourn and Reaper damage and he's |
5018s | like base basically did by time he gets |
5020s | in there uh they are not punishing Holly |
5022s | at all Admiral Admirals makes you |
5025s | impossible for balestry to actually get |
5026s | in a position to get damage off of his |
5028s | champ let alone being ranged to actually |
5030s | do damage with the Tesla can keep an eye |
5033s | on how Admiral just |
5035s | repositions Bella three as he tries to |
5037s | engage it's really frustrating for the |
5039s | fusion you can't get him in that |
5040s | position again we're fighting in the |
5042s | castle another great place we just drop |
5043s | the shot and everybody's lined up this |
5045s | could be scary gets taken down Sparky |
5048s | just has to wildly aim to the Turning |
5050s | massive Fusion bodies as they try and |
5052s | push their way up the stairs from there |
5053s | absolutely nothing for that he did |
5055s | death blossomeda in that corner to try |
5057s | and maybe like they were gonna bathe in |
5059s | run on in and nobody took the bait there |
5062s | from London is what now you have to back |
5064s | out here things have gone terribly for |
5067s | the Philadelphia Fusion after their |
5069s | point a take Philly can't read London I |
5071s | mean Carpe is expecting them to follow |
5072s | up on that but they already get uh two |
5074s | kills for that engagement |
5076s | and you see where like uh hotty's |
5078s | playing it's like uh you know they're |
5079s | almost kind of like stalking the |
5081s | Philadelphia Fusion it's like okay we'll |
5082s | let you guys get in that position and |
5084s | then they just start positioning London |
5086s | around them and collapse on them so many |
5087s | different angles and Philly can't do |
5089s | anything about it I'll be Whiting as |
5090s | well for him and three to use his slide |
5091s | because he knows that there's no |
5093s | Mobility for the sojourn to evade him as |
5095s | he tries to jump in and then he probably |
5096s | calls his boys come out the trees and |
5098s | start knocking heads here come the |
5100s | fusion grouped up now pass the disrupt |
5102s | the shot and then three doesn't have a |
5104s | good angle to make use of this older |
5106s | clock but he's got no choice he has to |
5107s | try and find some value here but it's |
5110s | fine sitting in the corner they're just |
5111s | waiting to support ultimate online with |
5113s | him in three's able to find backbone at |
5114s | the start of the fight it's a good |
5115s | opener to be sure katuna rash used here |
5118s | with this big fire in no position to |
5120s | come out and stand upon the Hallowed |
5121s | Ground their Force back inside the |
5123s | castle and finally the fusion finds some |
5126s | picks from mn3 bit of a Hail Mary but |
5128s | they'll take it well the mn3 gets a |
5131s | really good first pick but they also the |
5133s | Carpe turns around and with vixxer they |
5136s | take care of Hardy instantly Hardy just |
5138s | trying to be a nuisance in the back line |
5139s | time and time again was not getting |
5141s | punished at all that time they adjust |
5142s | they turn they they take him out fast |
5144s | and they're able to win the fight it's a |
5146s | rush here for the fusion they're far |
5147s | from done again this big fight |
5149s | disengaged make it so the fusion can't |
5151s | benefits from that haste |
5153s | well they'll return to that area but |
5154s | great disengage that we've seen a bunch |
5156s | from the Spitfire Admiral really has |
5158s | this on lock |
5159s | until The High Ground goes Hardy now |
5161s | he'll just tickle from that corner |
5162s | backbone hoping to punish delus rear as |
5163s | he repositions as well great walk had to |
5166s | be used not not a burst healing for the |
5168s | fusion so it'll take a while to get |
5169s | bellatory a fighting fit once more |
5172s | and London's okay with this like they're |
5174s | okay with Philadelphia just kind of like |
5175s | posturing and playing a little bit slow |
5177s | here because of how much time they have |
5178s | in the bank let us rear finds himself |
5180s | just in the middle of that bubble with |
5181s | backbone he's trying to dance it spark |
5184s | is just able to find a window to get an |
5185s | easy headshot kill |
5187s | and I feel like this is like the wrong |
5189s | approach with a metal like this I feel |
5191s | like you just need to take as many |
5192s | fights as possible as a big death |
5194s | Blossom with the disruptor shot making |
5196s | it difficult for players to get out |
5197s | because you know there's so much burst |
5199s | damage here Mitch that like if you just |
5201s | play slow and wait to just try and get |
5202s | the perfect fight the fight ends before |
5205s | you even have a chance right whether |
5206s | it's like a a raper shotgun like insta |
5209s | kill in close range a railgun shot that |
5212s | I think you just need to take constant |
5213s | fights with a metal like this down |
5215s | barrier for the fusion they're going |
5216s | forward here both support ultimates from |
5218s | the Spitfire and the fusion are a long |
5220s | way away and from the cart no chance of |
5223s | touching there and I love what you |
5224s | mentioned right about the idea of just |
5226s | trying to take these fights early and |
5228s | often the fusion might be playing with |
5229s | the mindset of a previous meta where |
5231s | your fights were predicated on the |
5232s | ability to get it the pick was sojourn |
5235s | or allow your damage it to zero in on a |
5237s | low Health Target and then jump in and |
5238s | make the assassination speeding the rest |
5240s | of your team in now you don't really |
5243s | need anything special to start these |
5244s | fights you need your Reaper in a good |
5245s | spot close enough to the enemy tank and |
5248s | you need that speed boost available |
5250s | that's about it this bit fire say we can |
5252s | make the Taj Mahal with you know flint |
5254s | and Tinder right now we're willing to |
5256s | use very little to turn it into a |
5257s | winning fight and you'll see the stats |
5259s | if you get a chance to so many fights |
5261s | taken by the Spitfire even when they're |
5263s | ostensibly in control of objectives we |
5265s | saw that on controller Bunch before |
5266s | Philadelphia will have to find a |
5270s | response maybe get their land legs here |
5272s | there's a London Spitfire constantly |
5273s | keeping them off balance stick around |
5275s | and see if this team for the East has |
5277s | got enough game to hang with a Spitfire |
5283s | foreign |
5290s | 222 days since our screens were last |
5293s | graced by the OverWatch league so good |
5295s | to be back of course |
5299s | [Music] |
5305s | banana was at the ready for crypto could |
5307s | give this marble or striker on the tack |
5309s | visor he wants many room control but got |
5312s | zoned off by Falls but he's gonna come |

5377s | no proper steals it come on man |
5381s | oh you're supposed to give him the clip |
5383s | sand though still with four kills nice |
5387s | work |
5400s | [Applause] |
5402s | he's not he's got three and the Outlaws |
5405s | that should be enough to take a point |
5406s | that should definitely be it the good |
5408s | thing here for fuel is that they build a |
5410s | lot about the clock and this is going to |
5412s | go down there for merit getting a lot |
5414s | there a lot of value and this is just |
5415s | continuing to show as the fight breaks |
5418s | down Soldier is so dangerous |
5419s | [Applause] |

5484s | foreign |
5494s | [Music] |
5513s | [Music] |
5526s | has a space |
5531s | shot through aim God he's looking for |
5533s | the elimination he goes on the offensive |
5534s | but he's got shuts him down |

5565s | send me over there as well so we can all |
5567s | enjoy The Vibes together ladies and |
5570s | gentlemen it is going to be absolutely |
5571s | mental no better place to return than |
5574s | the Anaheim Convention Center which is I |
5576s | mean for me Matt it's really |
5578s | the epicenter of where some of the most |
5580s | incredible moments of OverWatch have |
5582s | occurred |
5583s | OverWatch I mean I I've been there for |
5585s | like amazing Call of Duty events uh |
5588s | throughout the year just like an awesome |
5590s | Esports venue just so many great events |
5593s | that have happened there uh where I'm |
5595s | excited to see though with obviously the |
5597s | first two maps of the playoffs in the |
5599s | books uh kind of how things shake out |
5601s | for the rest of the field as we go uh |
5603s | towards next week absolutely if this is |
5605s | anything to go by the height in this |
5608s | matter is going to be fast and furious |
5610s | you'll notice that neither of these |
5612s | teams really making any uh any changes |
5614s | any sort of uh you know to the to the |
5616s | lineups right in terms of our hero |
5618s | compositions they are sticking with very |
5620s | much the same formula all the way |
5622s | through Matt London just seemed to be |
5623s | better I mean Philly better hope that |
5624s | Route 66 ain't the end of the line if |
5626s | you know what I mean |
5628s | yeah you know what was uh you know Game |
5629s | of Thrones season one it was like a life |
5631s | for a life right I feel like uh you know |
5634s | hexagrams to to get the Eagles back on |
5636s | track sacrifice the Philadelphia Fusion |
5638s | ah hey look they're like dead right now |
5641s | man I mean that's tough the way they |
5643s | lost like involved because they actually |
5645s | put together a really good offense on |
5646s | point a uh it was just after that things |
5649s | fell apart I think they kind of upped |
5651s | their pace of play like I I think just |
5653s | you know with how this minute is and I |
5656s | think like how fast some of these kills |
5658s | and fights go down and I think just |
5659s | historically in OverWatch the more |
5661s | fights you take I think like the better |
5663s | off you are I just really slow for the |
5665s | second part of the map they end up |
5667s | having like four minutes plus going into |
5669s | that uh B checkpoint well I know trying |
5672s | to attack that castle and they just kind |
5675s | of like walked around for a minute plus |
5677s | before that second fight took off in |
5679s | what happens your backbone just kills |
5680s | Carpe instantly uh there's nothing even |
5682s | happened by the time you get to the next |
5684s | fight right you know you've heard about |
5685s | a minute and 40 on the clock it depends |
5687s | possible recover from stuff like that |
5689s | well for this sort of for moderate |
5692s | healing output that Lucio and Moira |
5694s | sorry and kiriko excuse me provides |
5696s | there's not much you can really do about |
5698s | being in the middle of the fight and |
5700s | then a reputation playing on live |
5702s | talking about Moyers uh I mean but if |
5705s | you get headshot by Reaper there's no |
5707s | way you're coming back from that there's |
5708s | just not enough time to get you topped |
5710s | up maybe if you've got an incredible |
5712s | Kitty coach you could throw down a |
5713s | protection Susie but that's it backbone |
5715s | backbone excels at these Widow headshots |
5717s | off the rip uh let's see everybody |
5719s | playing close though I don't know that |
5721s | because they're obviously not using a |
5723s | Sonic Arrow like the days of old to |
5725s | scout this out but they're well aware |
5727s | now is Hottie pops his head up there to |
5729s | look over The Back Fence and sees his |
5731s | neighbors having a party and God has the |
5733s | suzu himself steps away |
5736s | yeah yes the TP pretty far away uh over |
5739s | at Airman three to be able to live there |
5740s | in has to they use the inval not himself |
5743s | before even using uh the Swift step so |
5745s | you have some of those cool Downs down |
5747s | now uh until you see Kelly playing a |
5749s | little bit further back now Hardy goes |
5750s | deep there trying to make a play for him |
5752s | and three in The High Ground so let's |
5753s | hurry up get caught yeah it's gonna be |
5755s | traded though mn3 and Spark are both |
5756s | striking blunt here not a Spitfire |
5759s | probably happy with an exchange like |
5760s | that now as Carpe wanted to buy a couple |
5761s | more seconds comes out of that right |
5763s | walk a couple extra shots in a backbone |
5765s | to force him away and aim God's knives |
5767s | go to work |
5769s | yeah because I think that story moved |
5771s | from Billy you have to play close I |
5772s | think playing clothes probably gives you |
5774s | like three fights versus two you know |
5776s | you get another fight here and then |
5778s | probably another one there at the end oh |
5780s | man with a kill on an aim God that is |
5782s | massive you have no you know uh in-bone |
5785s | there you know the healing output of |
5787s | carico is really strong and so |
5789s | everybody's gonna have to just run on in |
5790s | try and get his kills and maybe trade |
5792s | here it's not gonna work out for Billy |
5794s | and you see his Fockers timing he's |
5796s | immacula there he knows that Bella three |
5797s | is gonna try and deploy a projected |
5799s | barrier mid-fly because he's worried |
5801s | about getting hit shot on his way in in |
5803s | the days of old Winston's used to tone |
5804s | their back on their dive Target so they |
5807s | couldn't be headshot like by a widow for |
5809s | example but he actually gets a Charged |
5811s | wild headshot just before bellisrae |
5813s | deploys that bubble so the timing's |
5815s | perfect and it's like a half Health |
5816s | Winston that touches the ground and then |
5818s | he gets swarmed on by the rest of the |
5819s | Spitfire not the start I think the |
5822s | Philadelphia were looking for you they |
5823s | trade up at every occasion a Carpe |
5825s | oh buddy Fish Out of Water am I right |
5829s | yeah so that'll be point a taken there |
5832s | by the London Spitfire uh and it's |
5835s | interesting uh in the break I actually |
5836s | saw you know primzo kind of tweet |
5838s | whether it was like Power Rankings it's |
5839s | about the the teams right now but he |
5841s | also expected to like kind of put a note |
5843s | that he expect to see like a little bit |
5844s | of crazy results with a meta like this |
5846s | and I I think you can kind of see why |
5848s | right with like sojons being able to |
5850s | just like one shot players before fights |
5852s | even kick off you know how new carico is |
5854s | uh I think when you look at teams you |
5856s | have these like really strong soldiers |
5858s | players you can pop off at any time |
5860s | those are ones you could look at for |
5862s | maybe creating some upsets whereas far |
5864s | from playing lights out today |
5867s | I think going when it comes to those |
5869s | rail gun headshots it's gonna find |
5870s | something here land's already dealt with |
5872s | Carpe the kunai come flying freaking |
5874s | fast when you're standing inside that |
5876s | Kitsune Rush very very scary especially |
5879s | if you're getting consecutive headshots |
5880s | on large targets like Winston |
5882s | the Spitfire now want to slow things |
5884s | down just a little bit but spark is not |
5886s | able to get on the same program as the |
5888s | rest of the Spitfire quite in time |
5890s | villasrea here most of what he's doing |
5892s | is trying to check Heidi's position for |
5894s | this Primal range |
5896s | golf you can't Sparkle a little bit uh |
5898s | further out and decided to make a play |
5900s | in to be honest you needed to make a |
5902s | play at that moment in time because |
5903s | you're getting absolutely nothing from |
5904s | the rest of the squad and now you lose |
5906s | him in three sound barrier used for both |
5908s | teams here just trying to keep players |
5910s | alive as maybe you can now push back up |
5913s | to the cart and gain some control |
5917s | twice they've found themselves in so |
5920s | they do they pressure forward Hardy |
5922s | eventually gets caught out later in the |
5924s | fight card being able to come alive |
5925s | Sparkle returns over the flourish she's |
5927s | able to find that one elimination with |
5928s | the help of Landon |
5930s | and background wants to keep fighting |
5931s | against London exemplify just keep going |
5934s | play style they've been showing us |
5937s | well the reaper is so difficult uh to |
5940s | just dislodge from areas especially when |
5941s | you're playing that Winston because he's |
5943s | so tanky whether it be the life seal you |
5945s | have a wraith uh forum for some you know |
5947s | invulnerability you have the protection |
5949s | shoes you now uh for inform as well lots |
5954s | of ways to just keep Reaper just |
5955s | surviving on the point where yeah if the |
5958s | enemy Reapers down and you know you're |
5960s | kind of like in an even match up you |
5962s | push forward if yours is alive you know |
5963s | use that Reaper it's like a battering |
5965s | ram |
5966s | all right here comes the fusion they get |
5967s | caught on The High Ground though look at |
5968s | how he sort of throwing them quite |
5970s | effectively he gives off his life in |
5972s | order to do so though is the line is bit |
5974s | by those to get what they came for don't |
5975s | they Matthew another checkpoint to their |
5977s | name Billy just have to try and make |
5979s | this convincing Fight Win can't generate |
5981s | some old charge start to dig in for the |
5983s | next phase of the map |
5986s | if you're Philly he needs to stop the |
5989s | bleeding right so to speak you need to |
5990s | play close here you need to Rattle off a |
5992s | few fights in a row because you know you |
5994s | lose a fight you're gonna give that |
5996s | ultimate advantage over the London |
5997s | Spitfire with the way the game looks |
5998s | right now |
6000s | and they're just going to walk this |
6001s | thing home with how they've been playing |
6002s | so far |
6004s | I've got there trying to stay mid-range |
6006s | as much as possible away from the reaper |
6009s | but close enough that the healing |
6010s | doesn't take too long to get to Bellator |
6011s | travel time on Hill is something that we |
6013s | haven't really explored much in |
6014s | OverWatch as much of its instantaneous |
6018s | him in three big pick there the fish are |
6022s | not in a position to take like a full |
6024s | fight quite yet but they'll move up here |
6025s | and posture more aggressively |
6029s | I think they should be playing more |
6030s | aggressively the entire Series right |
6032s | like you know they they end up like |
6034s | backing up uh to play from this corner |
6036s | and that casino rush comes in like they |
6038s | end up having to back up even more they |
6039s | give up some space there like force |
6041s | London to use those ultimates like right |
6042s | outside of their spawn door as opposed |
6044s | to just kind of inviting them in and |
6046s | giving them some Halo progress so you |
6048s | know not a ton of progress but still |
6050s | it's something fries and fighter from |
6052s | velosteria even if he was in Primal Rage |
6054s | he looks to try and cut backbone away |
6056s | for the rest of his team he's able to do |
6058s | so for the most part it'll be back for |
6060s | more backbone |
6061s | doggedly pursuing the back line great |
6064s | beat climbing there a second later and |
6066s | that's the end of them in three he still |
6067s | goes down anyway his backbone gets his |
6069s | teeth in and one flat Joe ain't God |
6071s | meanwhile out of the picture here very |
6073s | scary healing situation now for the |
6075s | fusion Carpe has to turn tail again |
6077s | Philadelphia constantly being stained |
6079s | off by the Spitfire fight after fight |
6082s | did they disrupture shot damage enough |
6084s | to take out Carpe at the end so Dolce |
6086s | has to jump onto the point but you see a |
6088s | weak he is right off the rim yeah he's |
6090s | in deep trouble again the healing comes |
6092s | quicker from kiriko with that ice buff |
6093s | but it's a slide after keep them alive |
6095s | not against the burst damage of sparker |
6097s | from the top of the truck here can't be |
6099s | trying to go for again but looking for a |
6101s | deck Blossom it only comes up with |
6102s | Admiral and that is far far too little |
6107s | oh and dude it's difficult to finish |
6110s | this map in general but to finish with a |
6113s | minute 29 in the time bank it's just |
6117s | another God punch I think to Philly |
6119s | where this is their map selection yet |
6122s | again as you just see London has such a |
6125s | command over the flow of the game right |
6127s | now in my opinion |
6129s | and again you said you you'd like to see |
6131s | Philly just be more aggressive in |
6133s | general |
6134s | you know I know that obviously having to |
6136s | play with that zest changes the calculus |
6137s | a little bit right there's no doubt |
6139s | about it |
6140s | um but getting Carpe into a position |
6142s | where he can succeed is such an |
6144s | important part of making this |
6145s | composition work he's been able to make |
6147s | a couple plays alongside bellisria right |
6149s | late in the fight sometimes yet they're |
6151s | able to coordinate but spark has been |
6153s | all over mn3 in terms of finding those |
6155s | first picks in these fights uh but when |
6157s | you look at like the comp so Mitch right |
6159s | uh it's not like you're missing out like |
6162s | zest playing like uh you know something |
6165s | that is uh highly mechanical right like |
6167s | a Genji an echo a tracer right I I feel |
6171s | like the reaper is just mostly like |
6172s | positioning cooldown management decision |
6174s | making right like uh although carping |
6178s | has not played a ton this is still a |
6179s | pick that we've seen from Carpe in the |
6181s | past he should be able to play it at a |
6182s | high level here |
6184s | having a slightly better time than the |
6186s | last couple of maps is all well and good |
6188s | for Carpe but |
6189s | gonna take more than that to put the |
6191s | fusion position where they can actually |
6192s | have Tempo that's the word I'm looking |
6194s | for I don't think the fusion have had |
6195s | any sort of tempo throughout this entire |
6197s | series |
6199s | reminders are more than happy to to |
6201s | engage very quickly I do Wonder like how |
6203s | London to find the wind condition in |
6205s | some of these fights right a long time |
6206s | backbone is trying to Wade through the |
6209s | massive bodies and just fine mn3 |
6214s | therefore |
6219s | and the hovered but look at this and |
6221s | interesting that London will allow them |
6222s | around the corner here maybe they want |
6224s | to just give them some space to just |
6226s | kind of maybe have till you actually |
6228s | split themselves off from each other you |
6229s | know Force Philly to play aggressively |
6231s | get back by like an easter Minecraft |
6232s | that includes a health pack along the |
6234s | way |
6235s | might be the answer |
6237s | oh okay he doesn't expect Carpe to be |
6239s | behind so he takes a bunch of damage |
6240s | against the suzu treatment Fusion it |
6243s | grouped up here except for mm3 playing |
6245s | on the card I think London just stick |
6246s | like that we'll leave him they think |
6247s | that can take a fight before but marker |
6250s | immediately blown up |
6252s | see how much you know the the karika's |
6255s | used to be just kind of her offensive |
6257s | purposes right you know that triple |
6258s | headshot damage really strong you know |
6261s | especially after squishies but even for |
6262s | the Winston as |
6264s | feel silly it's done a nice job here |
6266s | getting the part moving here right off |
6267s | the rip London can't lose control of |
6270s | this High Ground here on big girls tough |
6271s | going to find good damage when there's a |
6273s | Winston bubbling fight she does nothing |
6274s | to them generally really hard to break |
6276s | them he doesn't want to be inside one |
6278s | for risk of just getting too close he's |
6279s | very fragile if she gets called out all |
6282s | righty is picked off though so the |
6283s | fusion they have to go you think of the |
6284s | players button because you need to |
6285s | pressure it a bit more okay kids in the |
6288s | rap's gonna be in their face gonna be |
6289s | three spotted from the back line he |
6291s | intended to get to there Spitfire holder |
6293s | a little bit longer but Admiral |
6294s | obviously not opting to sound barrier |
6296s | here stall if he can but there won't be |
6298s | much in this defense for the Spitfire |
6302s | the fights that they've been successful |
6304s | in the Philadelphia Fusion it's been mn3 |
6306s | getting a Pick Off on the surgeon which |
6308s | I think you know even for London they've |
6310s | been really good you know at that as |
6311s | well capitalizing uh and then making |
6314s | party pay for jumping into that back |
6316s | line that time it was you know fixer |
6318s | with some help from Carpe once that |
6320s | happens you're able to push the reaper |
6322s | and the rest of the squad in rather you |
6324s | know easily uh and it's good things that |
6326s | happen for the Philly Fusion they gotta |
6327s | punish Hardy Boys once he jumps in he |
6330s | gets close to that back line gotta make |
6331s | him pay better team in three there the |
6333s | big pick is carpe was getting turned |
6335s | away with nothing after that first |
6336s | engagement again they're trying to |
6338s | access him in Harley's able to find the |
6339s | response |
6341s | crucial way to even The Ledger somewhat |
6343s | and Hardy even gonna stop off for a mega |
6345s | is he seems pretty dispersed at the |
6347s | moment |
6347s | see backbone's not a tracking back a |
6349s | little bit here and God wanted to follow |
6351s | Carpe in there with a Swift step |
6352s | fortunately there's going to be a sound |
6353s | barrier in play from fix-up and backbone |
6355s | cannot hold up in the middle of this |
6357s | Fusion melee |
6360s | if this is really good for the Philly |
6362s | Fusion uh you needed to get some type of |
6364s | momentum back in your favorite nice body |
6366s | blocking here they fellas just |
6368s | preventing some of those players to walk |
6370s | on through back towards the spawn as |
6372s | you're gonna get sparker because of that |
6373s | you have the time hold here too you can |
6375s | play up on this High Ground you can |
6377s | actually just play for this door yet |
6378s | again as Billy could put themselves in a |
6381s | good position to finish the map they'll |
6383s | definitely have some ground to make up |
6384s | in the Spitfire went in this position |
6386s | filling it up well not being able to |
6388s | touch the card even though the lower |
6390s | round yeah I think hearty scouted that's |
6392s | what it was really supposed to be but |
6393s | that quickly and they've lost them in |
6395s | three I Wrong they've lost landed and |
6397s | then three was having to set up on that |
6399s | high ground with the London Spitfire |
6400s | choosing oddly not to engage in that |
6402s | fight so just get picked off inventory |
6405s | has he slide to be able to get away here |
6406s | hard is gonna have to look elsewhere |
6409s | right now you'll be seeing nothing sent |
6411s | back to spawn and here come the fusion |
6413s | now in this last phase of the map |
6415s | then you see how much how different the |
6418s | game looks when they're able to protect |
6420s | them in three you know Hardy's not back |
6422s | there causing problems putting bubbles |
6423s | down uh you know causing issues and you |
6426s | give him Lanes to shoot from and he he's |
6429s | you know as good of anybody in the |
6431s | league as sojourning you know you hit |
6433s | those shots it's just forces London back |
6435s | or just gives you an advantage early on |
6437s | in the fight |
6438s | Phyllis Ray are able to drive a winch |
6440s | between the two sides of the Spitfire |
6441s | now but get caught a little bit too |
6443s | close and close to the Thorns here |
6445s | backboat brings him down Fusion forced |
6448s | to back away slowly here plenty of time |
6450s | to work with the Philly it is tough to |
6452s | defend with winston-based compositions |
6453s | we've seen on many Maps here London are |
6455s | getting a couple of these individuals |
6456s | caught out namely backbones sometimes |
6458s | just overstinning ever so slightly |
6460s | that's another big pick from mn3 I don't |
6462s | know how he expected to see Sparkle |
6464s | coming on that flanking route |
6466s | and that was sparker's overclock as well |
6468s | uh Sparkle was coming from that angle |
6470s | with the overclock and just trying to |
6471s | maybe get a pinch on with the rest of |
6473s | his team but him in three with a |
6475s | headshot takes him right out and he's |
6477s | got an overclock and he hits it up on |
6478s | top of this trailer I mean this could be |
6480s | you know an even faster time than London |
6483s | create a side pocket for mm3 this |
6485s | ultimate could be devastating this is |
6487s | quite the narrowed Lane to play in right |
6489s | now I mean three Sliding Away Susu has |
6491s | to be used there it's not available here |
6493s | at ms3 might be Macabre at work if he's |
6495s | not careful no sound barrier timed as |
6497s | well but of course sooner Rush here for |
6499s | the London Spitfire they double it up |
6501s | with the sound barrier the fusion don't |
6503s | want to peek into that so they wait a |
6505s | little bit and here's our overclock from |
6506s | mn3 |
6508s | easy everybody trying to get behind some |
6510s | type of cover here for the London |
6512s | Spitfire weed it out but mm3 it's |
6514s | raining five to Demand right now Matthew |
6516s | in the morning mn3 comes alive the |
6519s | London spit by now struggling to answer |
6520s | the threat this is sojourned McCafe is |
6523s | going to be brought down my Admiral Now |
6525s | The Brute Force aspect of the fusions |
6527s | lineup has been taken out of the picture |
6528s | for now and Hardy's able to force mn3 |
6530s | Away by nothing but he's full this is a |
6532s | great spot for this from backbone picks |
6535s | his opening well with the death Blossom |
6536s | yields a team Fight Win |
6538s | oh that got dangerous there is the |
6540s | payload's so close to completing the map |
6543s | as what had to happen there Mitch is now |
6545s | everybody from the London spitburg |
6547s | trying to come outside of that uh the |
6548s | spawn door from the left and that's |
6550s | really Bella three and the rest of the |
6551s | team playing and Hardy can't really go |
6553s | back to help them because he has to get |
6554s | the one contesting the poison he said on |
6556s | the point to whose job is hit it to |
6557s | clear that area out it's backbone he |
6559s | gets over there fast with a speed boost |
6561s | gets the death Blossom right in the mix |
6562s | and takes a few players out that was |
6564s | massive |
6565s | once more to the breach for the fusion |
6567s | Carpe has a death loss in this time |
6569s | around first forces backbone away that |
6572s | rainforce must make a health pack means |
6574s | that his opposite number will be safe |
6576s | for now |
6577s | really only wins the battle used there |
6578s | by Hardy because |
6580s | somehow getting rid of the enemy Winston |
6583s | Philadelphia this spear is no tip |
6588s | you know obviously not gonna be you know |
6590s | a Target to be teleported to from the |
6593s | kariko because not gonna TP into your |
6595s | own death uh in Lucio is not going to be |
6598s | able to get over there to Gill anyway so |
6599s | fellow street really with no there's no |
6601s | like honor you know Zen to be able to |
6603s | heal a little bit at range uh as soon as |
6606s | you break that line of sight you're in a |
6607s | little bit too deep there's no help in |
6609s | you |
6610s | Philly now with less time to get the map |
6612s | done |
6613s | then the Spitfire having their Bank |
6615s | just getting the map done at all is |
6617s | going to be their main priority here |
6619s | spark is able to force fixer to run away |
6622s | here meaning aim God's only one with the |
6624s | proximity to heal properly and even he's |
6626s | out of the pitcher now spark is just |
6628s | able to pick bellus rear out of the mix |
6629s | and again the Towering tight for the |
6631s | fusion picked off early it ain't got |
6633s | even oh man he even went for the |
6635s | ultimate |
6637s | away |
6643s | from London they get that fight win they |
6645s | hold on to Primal which is going to be |
6646s | great to stall they have sound barrier |
6648s | and they're going to have the casino |
6649s | rush I mean they are in a perfect |
6650s | position to win this I think if you're |
6652s | Philly you know you're looking at what |
6654s | does carpe have a you know an OverWatch |
6656s | one season one get Blossom kind of in |
6658s | the mix right that takes out everybody |
6659s | but I think it's more aligned on mn3 to |
6662s | hit some of these shots top eight |
6664s | doesn't get where he needs to be also he |
6666s | thinks but Hardy was a piece Rockets |
6669s | became the Primal race |
6673s | now down for the spitfighter sound |
6675s | barrier is going to be there as well |
6676s | backbone coming in with the dead Blossom |
6678s | and mn3 is failed balustria clinging to |
6680s | life and you know what they say Matt the |
6682s | more things change the more they stay |
6684s | the same once again the London Spitfire |
6687s | dominate the fusion in a post-season |
6690s | game |
6691s | what a showing from this Spitfire really |
6695s | hard to have criticisms of their play in |
6697s | this match |
6699s | no they look lights out awesome in this |
6702s | matchup against the Philadelphia Fusion |
6705s | they look like they had a real |
6706s | understanding of how this meta is |
6708s | supposed to be played sparker I know |
6710s | goes toe-to-toe with no mn3 who's |
6712s | fantastic on the sojourn himself uh |
6715s | London with a really good first win here |
6719s | [Applause] |
6721s | and what a proof of concept for their |
6723s | take on the current meta looks like |
6725s | they've had plenty of time to work on it |
6727s | looking very very clean on occasion |
6730s | right The Usual Suspects for the fusion |
6732s | turn up oh the usual suspects rather |
6734s | it's mn3 is able to show us some death |
6737s | defying Antics on that sojourn but it's |
6739s | not enough even when Carpe having a much |
6741s | better map on that Reaper his |
6743s | performance |
6744s | it's not able to sort of take things |
6746s | over the top for the Philadelphia Fusion |
6748s | but yeah outside of the individual I |
6750s | think our biggest criticism is leveled |
6751s | at the fusions hesitancy |
6755s | lack of interest in sort of taking these |
6756s | fights early and often and their |
6758s | difficulty in getting back getting |
6760s | bellisria into a position to actually |
6762s | pressure backlines |
6765s | it felt like they started to to get in a |
6768s | little bit of a Groove there late on |
6770s | Route 66 but you know it's so late in |
6773s | terms of uh the game in the series right |
6775s | that you put yourself so far behind it |
6777s | just felt like a little uh you know too |
6780s | little too late which you know now you |
6782s | drop into the loser bracket for Philly I |
6784s | mean there's gonna be Killers down there |
6785s | right I mean there there's not going to |
6787s | be a tough team in that are now going to |
6790s | be a uh easy team in that loser bracket |
6792s | so |
6793s | I I think if you're Philly you gotta |
6795s | watch this Vlog again go over what you |
6797s | can improve on but I think I agree with |
6800s | you just up the speed of play Pace to |
6802s | play Let's Talk play the match now |
6804s | Matthew in this first playoff game it's |
6807s | the one the only the German Dynamo known |
6809s | as Hardy leaning from the front like all |
6812s | good leaders should from start to finish |
6814s | a squeaky clean performance on Winston a |
6816s | hero that he faced a ton of criticism on |
6819s | especially last year people said he was |
6821s | feeding he was dying too often out of |
6823s | position you name it it was leveled at |
6825s | this guy but now his game has been taken |
6827s | to another level the hard work that he's |
6829s | purported to have put in absolutely |
6831s | paying off this first delegate from the |
6834s | east region absolutely Shell Shocked by |
6837s | the Spitfires Relentless assault |
6839s | yeah and I think what you saw from |
6841s | hottie specifically in those first two |
6843s | maps he was able to just cause so many |
6845s | problems for the Philadelphia Fusion |
6847s | back line in mn3 and there was no |
6850s | response from Philly for those first two |
6852s | maps and that's why they were able to |
6854s | really dominate the London Spitfire uh |
6856s | this third man Route 66 they definitely |
6858s | made it harder on hottie but a fantastic |
6860s | series on the Winston no doubt about it |
6863s | dealing with Winston uh you know going |
6865s | into a lot of these Reaper based |
6866s | compositions he's always a pretty scary |
6868s | Prospect and yet Hardy has less than |
6871s | four deaths per 10 minutes which is a |
6872s | really very very good result for a hero |
6875s | like Winston who needs to be in the |
6877s | enemy team's face who only has very |
6878s | limited Windows of durability based |
6880s | around in his bubble the fact that he's |
6882s | able to get it away with having such a |
6884s | high impact with this over 20 |
6886s | eliminations per 10 minutes he's |
6888s | involved in every fight in a very key |
6890s | way and the rest of his team are |
6891s | preventing him from falling to these |
6893s | really nasty tank Killers like Reaper |
6894s | great showing from Hardy really |
6897s | important another step in the evolution |
6899s | of this London Spitfire team it must |
6901s | feel good for them to come on you know |
6903s | into this tournament with even footing |
6905s | with a lot of teams they've had a decent |
6906s | amount of time to acclimate to the |
6908s | change in patch and this meta game |
6910s | I don't think |
6912s | Philadelphia gonna be the first of their |
6914s | victims in this regard there should be a |
6916s | lot of teams even from the western |
6917s | region even who placed higher than the |
6919s | Spitfire the should feel it going |
6920s | forward |
6921s | [Music] |
6922s | yeah I absolutely agree I think with the |
6924s | way that this matter looks to be shaking |
6926s | out uh favors teams like the one that |
6929s | Spitfire who can play this fast |
6930s | aggressive for all the Play constantly |
6932s | but also have a really good soldier in |
6934s | there you know in their back line level |
6936s | and they'll shots like sparker so I I |
6938s | think teams like I know London I'm |
6940s | excited to see you know uh some of the |
6942s | other teams like the Gladiators play in |
6943s | Dallas and this type of meta I think |
6945s | it's going to be really interesting |
6946s | that's it there's much more of course to |
6948s | come from today's matches ladies and |
6950s | gentlemen so stick around for more all |
6951s | of your OverWatch League 2022 playoffs |
6954s | don't go anywhere |
6956s | sweep |

7232s | desk here for our game break and we now |
7235s | have backbone from the London Spitfire |
7237s | joining us for a quick word after a |
7239s | convincing Victory backbone |
7241s | congratulations how you feeling thank |
7244s | you uh film very good very good |
7246s | wonderful we take that now you went up |
7249s | against the Philadelphia Fusion |
7250s | obviously that's a historical matchup |
7252s | for everyone watching not so much for |
7254s | the players playing though you also |
7257s | didn't I assume got exposed to them very |
7259s | much this season given that you're |
7261s | playing in different regions so what was |
7263s | your preparation looking like heading |
7264s | into that match against the Philadelphia |
7266s | Fusion uh we weren't really prepping |
7269s | specifically for them we were just |
7270s | playing what we thought yeah is good |
7272s | what we've well we know most teams are |
7275s | playing |
7275s | um they're just playing like the match |
7277s | up today that's what most teams play so |
7280s | it's not anything new |
7282s | um it wasn't really any specific Philly |
7284s | practice we weren't really scared of |
7285s | them at all to be honest not scared at |
7287s | all we're talking about what's good I |
7288s | wasn't expecting to see this much Reaper |
7291s | in The Meta give me the lowdown what |
7293s | makes Reaper so good with the Winston |
7295s | and the kiriko uh I mean the kiriko |
7298s | makes reefer like all of Reaper's worst |
7302s | parts are better the new DPS passive |
7304s | with reefer makes him really strong it |
7306s | like you're getting a limb you get |
7308s | faster and better reload speed that's |
7310s | two of his weakest points uh and then |
7312s | monkeys just monkey he's just going |
7314s | anywhere |
7315s | funky's monkey yeah so I feel like |
7317s | little Spitfire you guys don't look just |
7319s | like perpetually you know underrated and |
7321s | underdogs into every series of course so |
7323s | how are you kind of like using that as |
7325s | fuel going into this playoffs and how |
7327s | far the ultimately do you guys think you |
7329s | can go this playoffs I mean I don't |
7331s | think anyone really expects us to go far |
7332s | at all |
7334s | um I mean no one's expecting anything |
7335s | from us or anything but Danny does |
7336s | actually uh yeah Danny Danny does |
7338s | Danny's always got her back No but I |
7340s | mean we're kind of just we're just |
7342s | having fun I mean I don't know if you |
7343s | heard at the end of that route with the |
7345s | aftercoms but there was a lot of barking |
7346s | going on there's a lot of barking going |
7348s | on in our concert we heard Alana |
7349s | Spitfire is sweet sweet yeah there's a |
7352s | there's a lot of just uh we're just |
7354s | having fun like so many of the teams |
7356s | here feel the pressure that they need to |
7358s | win or get the finals which we're just |
7360s | here to have fun awesome we love to hear |
7362s | that and we can't wait to see more from |
7365s | you guys in these playoffs so once again |
7367s | thank you so much for joining us and big |
7368s | congratulations to the first W thank you |
7371s | cheers backbone right on so let's dive |
7375s | into the match highlights three and oh |
7377s | not really result any of us would have |
7379s | expressed it yeah |
7384s | you're doing great Danny but I do want |
7386s | to talk about |
7387s | um what I feel like is a little bit of a |
7389s | disappointing look here from the |
7391s | Philadelphia Fusion they played so |
7393s | passive with a composition which doesn't |
7395s | really allow for you to play that way |
7397s | yeah it was an interesting look we the |
7400s | reason we predicted the Philadelphia |
7402s | Fusion is they've shown better |
7404s | performances on this dive they have good |
7406s | coordination but none of that was really |
7408s | on Showcase in this match they were |
7410s | flat-footed they were slow and that are |
7412s | really allowed London Spitfires to be |
7414s | the aggressors in a lot of ways and they |
7416s | were aggressive to say nonetheless Heidi |
7418s | was getting in there not being punished |
7420s | and backflowed death boss Master death |
7422s | boss is getting maximum value so |
7424s | ultimate's being used better as well |
7425s | other than mn3 coming alive on that |
7427s | Route 66 on the sojin falling a little |
7430s | flat and very disappointed with first |
7431s | performance from the fusion yeah I think |
7433s | if anything maybe you'd want to see them |
7435s | forced Tracer duels more because we know |
7437s | carpet is a fantastic Tracer player |
7439s | right and well we know that backbone |
7441s | maybe not the strongest Tracer around |
7442s | the league either so maybe Fusion |
7444s | looking back on this are there other |
7446s | maps in the pool where we perhaps could |
7448s | have forced a tracer duel instead of a |
7449s | Reaper definitely seems like Reapers |
7451s | here to stay and it's going to be the |
7452s | Mainstay so far but there are other |
7454s | teams around the league that are |
7455s | probably looking at this match of |
7456s | themselves going oh boy we gotta play |
7458s | Reaper for the entire time it's going to |
7459s | be tough for us yeah and I think |
7461s | background made a really great point I |
7462s | didn't think about it when we added that |
7464s | new DPS passive of you get an |
7465s | elimination you get more reload speed |
7466s | movement speed that really plays into |
7469s | everything that makes Reaper a weak hero |
7471s | so that is why he is really coming |
7472s | through so something we weren't |
7474s | expecting folks you should get used to |
7476s | it it might be a staple for these |
7477s | players yeah I mean honestly it's |
7479s | exciting to watch isn't it but I |
7481s | reinforced uh background just said it |
7483s | best monkey is monkey so let's discuss |
7486s | uh that very topic because I really felt |
7489s | like the Philadelphia Fusion they didn't |
7491s | really play that Winston like you're |
7493s | supposed to be playing you're supposed |
7494s | to take up space you're supposed to be |
7495s | aggressive and do something for your |
7497s | team but one of the two winstons just |
7499s | kind of stayed back yeah I think below |
7501s | from Fusion he fell a bit flat in this |
7503s | matchup and really just like handed on a |
7505s | Spitfire are pretty uncontested win here |
7507s | if you want to break it down big picture |
7509s | I think a Winston generally has two jobs |
7511s | right it's called testing space and it's |
7513s | disrupting the enemy team right and |
7515s | fusion they didn't really get to |
7517s | contesting the enemy backline because |
7519s | they just had so much trouble |
7520s | controlling space right so below taking |
7522s | a look at the stats against Hardy of |
7524s | course they lost to you know they are |
7526s | going to look bad okay I don't want to |
7527s | always emphasize on how bad these style |
7529s | circus they did suffer a brutal loss but |
7531s | what I want to highlight is almost twice |
7533s | the deaths right there and also the |
7535s | lower knockback kills and final blows it |
7538s | really didn't feel like Palos Ria wanted |
7540s | to go in there I want to highlight on |
7542s | these specific highlights right here but |
7544s | also yeah he's almost like away from the |
7545s | fight he's so scared of contesting the |
7548s | reaper from the London Spitfire that |
7550s | he's trying to stay out of these fights |
7551s | he's doing big leaps up into the air |
7553s | he's not really being present within the |
7555s | fights themselves I'd rather see him you |
7558s | know create some space for the rest of |
7560s | his team here be like in the front line |
7562s | and try to at least make challenge for |
7564s | the long space fire to grab this space |
7566s | to get into these fights this jump right |
7568s | here just jump straight into the card |
7569s | you cannot do that and you see he's |
7571s | immediately head shot by the enemy |
7572s | sojourn 100 HP and then he's out of the |
7575s | fight instead utilize The High Ground on |
7577s | your surroundings because you can jump |
7578s | to The High Ground wait a couple seconds |
7580s | and you get that leap back quicker right |
7583s | he didn't try to do anything of that |
7585s | instead it was either all in and he died |
7587s | to the reaper or it's like oh I'm gonna |
7588s | jump in and then kind of be like you |
7590s | know have fun guys I don't want to be |
7592s | part of this so it's a bit disappointing |
7594s | it was strange because watching that it |
7595s | almost looked like |
7597s | he was not doing the shot calling like |
7600s | he was just kind of following suit with |
7602s | the rest of his team but really when |
7603s | you're playing that Winston you kind of |
7605s | have to be the aggressive you kind of |
7607s | have to call the shots there I I do want |
7608s | to give a little bit of credit to London |
7610s | because even in the very first team |
7611s | fight that we saw for them bellisria |
7613s | jumped in tried to take that space and |
7614s | London was like absolutely not and that |
7616s | really set the tempo for the rest of the |
7618s | series so belisria needs to go back to |
7619s | the drawing board and the entire |
7621s | Philadelphia Fusion to find a way to |
7623s | enable it yeah you have to find a way |
7624s | you have to find a way to contest the |
7626s | enemy team and know your limits you |
7628s | can't shy away from your job as a |
7630s | Winston because you're scared of a |
7631s | Reaper you're scared of getting picked |
7632s | you sort of have to do your job in a |
7634s | serviceable way but philosoria he just |
7636s | stayed out of the fight most of the time |
7637s | and when it did go in it was just head |
7640s | first and like Doc please please don't |
7642s | dive you know it's two minutes you know |
7643s | with the pool do I do calculated over |
7646s | extension that's kind of how you have to |
7647s | play a win |
7649s | calculated over extensions Johnny's |
7652s | career in a nutshell |
7655s | uh it doesn't work out for everyone |
7657s | though that's that's a problem and now I |
7659s | do want to quickly preview our upcoming |
7662s | match is going to be the spark going up |
7664s | against the Shanghai dragons uh the |
7666s | dragons coming in of course as the |
7668s | favorite here but I would like to take |
7670s | some time to take a look at who needs to |
7673s | level it up in leveling up presented by |
7675s | Butterfinger caster which of these teams |
7677s | need to really step up their game for |
7679s | this one it has to be the hongdo spark |
7681s | this is a team that in our last |
7682s | International Tournament in the |
7683s | mid-season Madness had an incredible |
7685s | performance on the back of Shai's |
7686s | sojourn this is something that they can |
7688s | lean back on again but as of late in the |
7691s | last two stages in the summer showdown |
7692s | in the countdown cup they have been |
7694s | struggling they need to level up look at |
7697s | this one and five in the summer Showdown |
7698s | one and five in the countdown cup if |
7701s | they can get back to that previous |
7702s | performance that we saw in the kickoff |
7704s | clash in the mid-season Madness they |
7706s | could be in for a run they played well |
7707s | in the play-ins and that's why they're |
7709s | here today need to keep that going for |
7711s | them now I do also want to get a quick |
7715s | uh quick hint and what we could expect |
7718s | or hope map wise because he's gonna be |
7720s | our map guy |
7722s | Johnny the map I'll be your guide he has |
7726s | like |
7727s | these five trees to get every |
7730s | information humanly possible |
7732s | on everything map related so what do the |
7735s | stats say well I will tell you this out |
7736s | of all the playoff teams hang chose Borg |
7739s | they are the third best hybrid team for |
7742s | the second map we're pretty good for |
7743s | that they are the worst escort team by |
7746s | far they have like a 32 win rate on |
7748s | escort so if you go down 2-0 in the |
7751s | series and you have to win escort bad |
7753s | look for the hangtail sport if I'm a |
7754s | huncho spark fan I want to see them win |
7756s | hybrid or control to give me an |
7759s | opportunity to get the push and then |
7760s | maybe we can win out the series all |
7762s | right there you have it I hope the Hong |
7763s | Kong spark listened in on that segment |
7766s | good information too so bad at escorts |
7768s | now I do want to take a look at that |
7770s | Prince although I doubt we're going to |
7772s | see any surprises however I mean Danny |
7774s | you know like yeah I'm talking about shy |
7776s | shy is like one of the best soldiers so |
7779s | he could throw this for a loop but they |
7781s | can't just keep relying on Shai to kill |
7782s | everybody your strategy cannot be why |
7784s | not go kill everyone |
7786s | it worked in the mid-season Madness but |
7788s | Shanghai dragons are the 2021 Champions |
7790s | and they are such a well-rounded team I |
7792s | don't think they're gonna give shy the |
7793s | opportunity to do that especially when |
7795s | the guy on the other surgeon is lip |
7797s | probably the best surgeon we have in the |
7798s | world so spark have a tough task ahead |
7800s | of them absolutely let's see if they can |
7802s | get it done for now we're heading into a |
7804s | very quick break and then afterwards |
7806s | we're going to be back with match number |
7807s | two here in our 2022 playoffs |

8020s | [Music] |
8054s | well if the first match was the fuse |
8057s | being lit then I'm telling you fireworks |
8059s | are about to go off here live from the |
8062s | Anaheim Convention Center or up to our |
8064s | second match of our OverWatch League |
8067s | 2022 playoffs and this one is going to |
8070s | be a head-to-head rehash of rivalry |
8072s | between Eastern region Rivals Matthew |
8075s | yeah and I totally agree with everybody |
8078s | taking the Shanghai dragons in the |
8079s | series obviously historically a |
8081s | fantastic team outside of season one uh |
8084s | in the OverWatch League uh but uh I |
8087s | actually think the honcho spark is a |
8089s | team that when yoga teams have |
8091s | potentially could cause upsets right the |
8093s | Gucci on the Winston shy on the sojourn |
8096s | like you know putting players in their |
8098s | best roles you know best heroes like |
8100s | Comfort picks uh and they just have |
8103s | insane mechanical skill I think they're |
8105s | a team that could really be a sleeper |
8107s | pick I mean this is the same hunk show |
8109s | spark that gave us an incredible five |
8111s | map series against the Los Angeles |
8113s | Gladiators in the mid-season man it's a |
8115s | team that really made a Deep Run in that |
8117s | bracket it was a great time for them a |
8119s | great minigame for them to shine things |
8122s | started to take a turn for the worse |
8124s | though as we moved into summer Showdown |
8126s | and countdown cup that's when the Sparks |
8128s | started to find themselves foundering |
8130s | just a little bit more this team though |
8132s | like you mentioned a huge roster |
8134s | gigantic team so many players that can |
8137s | be rotated in and so many specialists |
8139s | that are waiting for their chance to |
8140s | take to the stage when the meta suits |
8143s | their best heroes and you've already |
8145s | hinted at seeing gushway someone who we |
8147s | haven't seen much of lately right |
8148s | Bernard has been in a main tank for this |
8151s | Hunter spark team and they had to get |
8153s | through the play-ins it was the 3-0 win |
8155s | against the Chung to Hunters but that |
8157s | game both teams were throwing Haymakers |
8159s | this spark has to hope that now is the |
8162s | time the right time for them to Peak |
8163s | because going up against the dragons is |
8165s | going to be quite the task indeed let's |
8167s | not waste any time out let's jump into |
8169s | this let's welcome to the stage here at |
8171s | the Anaheim Convention Center the |
8172s | Hangzhou Spark |
8175s | foreign |
8177s | I think this is going to be a good meta |
8181s | for the spark but is it good enough to |
8183s | beat the dragons uh I I don't know but I |
8186s | think if you were looking at you know |
8188s | players on Heroes we know they can excel |
8190s | at I think you have a really good shot |
8193s | with the players that the sparkers Gonna |
8195s | Roll out here today we talked about a |
8197s | lot of the metrics in that last match I |
8200s | feel that made Hardy so successful |
8202s | playing the Winston coming in and |
8204s | maintained there and one thing we really |
8205s | pointed out was his survivability right |
8207s | the fact that he's able to play up |
8209s | against these uh you know these Reaper |
8211s | based compositions and still find |
8212s | success that's definitely gonna be |
8214s | something we're gonna be looking out for |
8216s | on the side of the spark here because |
8218s | gooseway currently holds the title for |
8220s | the highest time alive as a Winston |
8222s | player and the fewest deaths in the |
8224s | entire league coming in to these |
8226s | playoffs he has got to come alive here |
8229s | and stay alive in many of these fights |
8231s | to have that big impact |
8233s | yeah and I think you're really looking |
8235s | at Gucci and shot like if you're gonna |
8236s | turn this series in favor of the spark |
8239s | you're gonna have to see it from the |
8240s | Winston and the sojourn that most likely |
8242s | you're gonna see from this team uh they |
8245s | have all the mechanical skill that you |
8248s | could need to take it to a team like the |
8249s | dragons but it's just the dragons you |
8251s | know are gonna come in as a you know |
8253s | well-oiled machine right they're going |
8255s | to be you know on the same page they |
8257s | rarely make mistakes can the spark play |
8259s | up to that level uh the scary part with |
8262s | the spark is sometimes we see that |
8263s | sometimes we don't which spark are you |
8264s | gonna get here today and genuinely if |
8266s | you want to look at previous results for |
8268s | this team uh you know spoilers that |
8269s | haven't been exactly compelling against |
8271s | the Shanghai dragons you can probably |
8273s | throw that script out a little bit here |
8275s | is we have a pretty significant shift in |
8277s | metagame one thing that Eastern |
8279s | OverWatch fans have been treated to |
8280s | frequently is this matchup of sojourns |
8283s | right lip versus shy either one of them |
8286s | can take the game over at the drop of a |
8288s | hat I gotta be honest with you we are |
8290s | dealing with a championship caliber team |
8292s | on the other side of the stage so the |
8294s | Hungary spark had better be ready for |
8295s | the Shanghai dragons |
8299s | [Music] |
8302s | we know are tough for anybody to deal |
8305s | with uh and I feel like a little bit of |
8308s | a do you want to say like a chip on |
8310s | their shoulder so to speak I feel like |
8312s | they've come in with not like |
8314s | everybody's picking the Gladiators you |
8316s | know Soul dynasties uh pretty you know |
8318s | hot pick the shock I feel like the |
8320s | dragons have gone a little bit under the |
8322s | radar to where maybe they want to come |
8324s | in and put together a really good show |
8326s | and let everybody know that they're |
8328s | still the real look I think that |
8329s | probably has a fair bit to do with the |
8331s | dominance at the Seoul Dynasty in in |
8333s | sort of more recent history being able |
8334s | to bring into this region Shanghai |
8337s | though uh you know despite maybe some |
8339s | some rockier periods uh in that so in |
8341s | the countdown cup uh have been really |
8343s | strong I think you know you look back |
8345s | over there them records and losing to |
8347s | Guangzhou and Philadelphia uh sort of in |
8349s | back-to-back games they're at the sort |
8351s | of end of September not the most |
8353s | suspicious signs for this team but no |
8355s | one no one even the even the people that |
8357s | are the lowest on this particular team |
8359s | are going to deny the caliber of players |
8360s | on this particular still right between |
8363s | fighting void you have a lot of options |
8364s | here flatter has always been incredibly |
8366s | reliable and the back line of this team |
8368s | is just quite exciting right I think a |
8369s | lot of people are looking at iziyaki uh |
8371s | and you're going to be asking the |
8372s | question all right how well does he |
8373s | develop how well does he adapt he's a |
8375s | veteran player in the league now you're |
8377s | putting flutter presumably in a position |
8379s | you know maybe to play Reaper you feel |
8381s | confident about that the guy is so |
8382s | reliable yeah so consistent and that's |
8385s | what you really need from Reaper's right |
8386s | just not to get blown up at the start of |
8388s | five tier does he have to pop off and |
8390s | have these like legendary moments on |
8391s | Reaper no he doesn't he just needs to be |
8394s | a consistent force in these fights and |
8396s | capitalize maybe when someone like lip |
8398s | opens the way |
8400s | and I think if you're the spark like the |
8402s | path to Victory here is probably what |
8404s | shy plays a game in which he can kind of |
8407s | like neutralize lip uh to in the sojourn |
8411s | matchup and then you have Gucci just |
8413s | make it it's so difficult for I know |
8417s | izyaki in the back line of the Shanghai |
8419s | dragons uh which allows like Alfie and |
8422s | the rest of the crew to play a little |
8423s | bit safer a little bit more you know up |
8424s | on the cards and objectives and use that |
8427s | Reaper as a real big damage source |
8430s | that is assuming of course if these |
8432s | teams are subscribing to the same theory |
8433s | on the the best way to play right now |
8436s | which you probably suggests that they do |
8438s | I don't really think the dragons have |
8440s | been a team that have always opted to go |
8442s | for wacky stuff I think that when this |
8444s | team looks strongest this year was |
8445s | actually uh you know during during who I |
8448s | use stint uh you know playing a lot |
8449s | against you on this team that was uh |
8451s | very very strong for them uh and very |
8454s | very scary this is your reigning |
8455s | Champions the Shanghai dragons who like |
8457s | many teams have had to contest with a |
8459s | lot of big meta changes as the years |
8460s | gone by and they've really worth the |
8462s | test of time uh in that regard so |
8464s | there's a lot of reasons to sort of pick |
8466s | them as you know I can't believe we're |
8468s | saying like an outside chance here |
8469s | it's 18 wins and six ounces right the |
8473s | dynasty have 19 and five so |
8475s | realistically they're one game behind |
8477s | the leader in this Eastern region should |
8479s | be expecting them to bring their best |
8480s | here and I guess everyone looking at |
8482s | home show going okay you've got a |
8484s | different main tank we've got a |
8486s | different tank player helming this |
8487s | roster now that we sort of had in more |
8489s | recent history is that a Difference |
8491s | Maker Goose Ray the Primal blade as he's |
8493s | known can he have the impact can he make |
8496s | the difference I mean his opposite |
8497s | number is a true veteran of the league |
8499s | in fate |
8501s | greatness uh I would say though like if |
8503s | you're looking at uh in terms of play |
8505s | style you would probably categorize like |
8507s | fate and fletta in more of like a |
8510s | conservative like safer place though |
8512s | when you look at like the reaper and uh |
8515s | Winston players where you know can they |
8517s | play like if the game gets ratcheted up |
8519s | to a really fast pace right and the |
8521s | sparkle really pushing them to another |
8522s | level can they play at that level of |
8525s | aggression and Pace because like you |
8527s | mentioned I think the best point we've |
8528s | seen from the dragon so he's seen who |
8529s | are you in Who Who Are You is another a |
8532s | big time playmaker to put next to lip |
8534s | right especially when he's on the Genji |
8535s | and really can you know open things up |
8538s | for himself you know flood I think is |
8540s | more of he can play everything at such a |
8542s | high level uh and not as much like the |
8545s | you know Playmakers maybe like from a |
8547s | few seasons past |
8549s | and I guess we're going to get an answer |
8550s | to the question in this matchup like |
8552s | what degree is their wriggle room in in |
8554s | this sort of five hero composition right |
8557s | looks like most teams seem to be in |
8560s | agreement that this is just absolutely |
8562s | the way to go |
8563s | teams coming out mirror compositions |
8565s | again sojourn Reaper they'll Winston |
8567s | with the kiniko and of course Lucio over |
8569s | to the spark to opt to take the hike |
8571s | around position to start with you hope |
8572s | to give shy some really nice sight lines |
8574s | to find an opening |
8577s | yeah and disruptor shot from Cheyenne to |
8579s | one side of the train force him to the |
8580s | other and oh wait already in the window |
8582s | at all oh that is a slide up to The High |
8585s | Ground and a headshot right and Shy's |
8587s | face they just don't do that two kills |
8589s | from Liam that doesn't happen I mean you |
8592s | really expect a lot of soldier in place |
8593s | to bite their time and you know and let |
8596s | their wind speed go in first but lip is |
8597s | essentially leaving the charge an |
8599s | absolutely Pummel shot |
8602s | let me just uh you know left one with |
8605s | the assault you know uh 4K they're in |
8607s | the B to kick things off four from blue |
8609s | one from Coletta as the point goes over |
8612s | the dragons first that is disgusting shy |
8615s | again the kind of player that you expect |
8617s | hung show to really try and use as their |
8618s | secret weapon here lip gets in his face |
8620s | and says the court belongs to me buddy |
8622s | great way to make a statement early here |
8624s | again not so subtly until The High |
8626s | Ground goes alpeggy joined by gooset |
8629s | let's begin maintaining a little bit of |
8630s | an off angle here and is sitting in a |
8632s | relatively safe pocket now as fake just |
8634s | wants to disengage for the time being |
8636s | his leading a little lower that middle |
8638s | pillars I'm gonna find flatter though |
8641s | yeah that's a huge pickoff and this is |
8643s | what you want to see if you're a |
8644s | Sparkman you know Gucci get right in in |
8647s | live space make a play very early Rush |
8649s | there from izaki sound very also |
8651s | combined |
8652s | compiles like these teams are trying to |
8653s | use those ultimates in conjunction early |
8654s | and often just to make sure they have |
8656s | the durability to back the haste buff up |
8658s | I'm sure gonna try for one of their own |
8660s | but super rich is busy sipping his King |
8662s | and spawn no chance to build up the |
8664s | barrier yet |
8666s | oh yeah usually the Primal Rage who's |
8668s | trying to make a play for Legion he |
8670s | actually ends up getting his Yaki as I |
8672s | believe he teleports right to him and |
8673s | he's gonna get lift and through the |
8675s | Primal blade that's why they call it |
8676s | that somehow I'm gonna find an |
8678s | inordinate number of kills from an |
8679s | ability in OverWatch 2 that really easy |
8681s | for disruption and sowing Discord among |
8684s | ranks good way though incredible |
8686s | juggling prowess displayed and the spark |
8689s | are going to get back in they give up a |
8690s | lot of percentage in order to do this |
8691s | time |
8694s | still like even even though they flipped |
8696s | the point you're gonna see more players |
8697s | come in here for the dragons because you |
8699s | have the reaper you have both supports |
8701s | and it's just usually on the point right |
8702s | now try making the play here overclock |
8704s | used dragons pulling their heads back |
8706s | inside do not want to expose themselves |
8709s | to this but then it has no choice try |
8711s | around the corner puts one right between |
8712s | the eyes and now fate really wants to |
8714s | destroy by some time he's the arc Into |
8716s | The High Ground here lips able to find |
8718s | shy so the sojourn threat is down but |
8720s | the dragons a little on demand in order |
8722s | to have a full takeover of the point and |
8724s | izaki doesn't have Swift step for now |
8725s | he'll play safe around the corner he's |
8727s | very limited options about where to go |
8730s | now his uh fate just stays within now |
8733s | his range gives him an exit there as |
8736s | Shanghai they'll have both support all |
8738s | tier Mitch in their death Blossom I |
8740s | think this is this is their opportunity |
8741s | to flip the point back okay you're gonna |
8743s | get pretty close to tying this game up |
8744s | this is far let's see if Shanghai have |
8747s | that same bloodthirst is the uh Spitfire |
8749s | dear looks like yes they are gonna leave |
8751s | with both those support ultimates here |
8752s | Alpha ye staved off very quickly the |
8755s | spark might just opt to give this up |
8756s | here especially losing Goose right now |
8758s | hard to stall to point out like this |
8760s | when so many support ultimates come into |
8761s | play |
8763s | yeah they they have to it was a nice |
8765s | attempt there from the spark they |
8766s | actually have Gucci jumped down and put |
8768s | a bubble right on top of Alfie as he's |
8770s | trying to use that death Blossom inside |
8772s | of the casino rush but uh no nothing |
8774s | home there uh not able to connect with |
8776s | anything and also a really nice play |
8778s | from Legion with that my whole exploding |
8780s | players I'm still able to connect with |
8782s | everybody with the sound barrier they're |
8783s | trying to start the fight off for the |
8784s | dragons terms here but he gets this |
8786s | clobbered by shy Primal Rage there from |
8788s | gushway again gonna make it hard yet |
8790s | again it finds another kill lead Gone |
8792s | Going Down the dragons get to 99 though |
8795s | hamster I want to hold on to what they |
8797s | have left is they're in a win position |
8798s | here |
8799s | now they're back at 64 and Counting for |
8801s | them the long road to Hope |
8805s | Gucci blind ends up with that pressure |
8807s | and take out the ziaki but didn't want |
8809s | to go right into the reaper and still |
8810s | able to take them out and get out with |
8811s | his life as he's pushing on forward |
8814s | spark getting aggressive and this is |
8816s | what I feel like they can really excel |
8817s | at against this Dragon taking the fight |
8819s | to the dragons make the dragons be |
8821s | reactionary not gonna take fights on |
8823s | their terms I think that's where the |
8824s | spark can see success puncture support |
8826s | ultimates are out of phase though it's |
8828s | either beat or Kitsune rush and never |
8830s | both of them in this game so far I went |
8832s | to Super Rich dying early in their first |
8833s | fight |
8835s | okay sounds good start to last fight he |
8838s | dies in on link and his already gonna be |
8840s | felt if I didn't stop the shot let him |
8842s | carry little value from the dead Blossom |
8843s | sound barrier owing to that in a big |
8845s | wave and hang show just happened to have |
8847s | that come up at the right time they're |
8849s | in charge now and their dragons are |
8851s | gonna be forced back Shanghai again the |
8854s | way the plane these fights him out right |
8856s | using both their support odds at the |
8857s | same time in theory I guess less |
8859s | opportunities to to have these explosive |
8861s | team fights with extra durability or |
8863s | haste |
8866s | so what you also saw there in that first |
8868s | round like think about think about every |
8870s | time you saw Goose might use like the |
8872s | Primal Rage right like it's kind of been |
8874s | a thing historically in OverWatch where |
8876s | he's been so good with that Winston |
8877s | ultimate uh I I can think of like at |
8880s | least four kills he got during you know |
8882s | that first round with that Winston |
8884s | ultimate which is usually used to just |
8885s | kind of stall where and nothing really |
8887s | on the on the Shanghai side where I |
8890s | think that's gonna be really difficult |
8892s | for them to deal with I hear |
8895s | and again to what the gray is like super |
8898s | Rich's shots from downrange the Cheerios |
8900s | helping out in a killer it just looks |
8902s | like Goose way in the highlight of lit |
8904s | so quickly |
8906s | couldn't ask for a better pick off there |
8907s | and a great way to start the fight |
8908s | really high arcing jump there as well to |
8910s | give the rest of his team time to get |
8911s | positioned |
8913s | beautiful opener Master Winston play |
8915s | here from gooseway |
8918s | now for yi he gets really low so that's |
8920s | why they have to back up and now the die |
8922s | is going to come in from the dragons |
8925s | Peru at range here |
8927s | trying to play safe if you possibly can |
8930s | down the pit goes Goose Ray will be able |
8932s | to join the rest of his team in just a |
8933s | moment here a little bit in disarray on |
8935s | the spark they try and group up in the |
8937s | right side runekey but the dragons are |
8938s | posturing further forward they see |
8940s | Terror but they can't get to him and |
8941s | that buys enough Time Charlie's able to |
8943s | take fate down now again the initiator |
8945s | is off the table for the dragons |
8948s | uh and I really like the way this work |
8950s | played that they move into that room and |
8952s | you don't want to actually just send the |
8954s | wings in to kill kind of head on into |
8956s | the reaper uh and you're just kind of |
8958s | stuck in no man's land right fader's |
8960s | just kind of like stuck in the middle of |
8961s | nowhere on the point |
8963s | doesn't want to go in can't really kind |
8964s | of stay there not even you know making |
8966s | an attempt to actually get the point for |
8968s | Shanghai to start puts him in a really |
8970s | tough spot it's gonna rush to the point |
8971s | here for the dragons but with they play |
8973s | the points they step out of that |
8975s | they'll be able to play on the point |
8977s | with this ultimate plentiful's back |
8979s | there right walks away and the door |
8981s | shutting his face terribly disrupt the |
8983s | shot |
8984s | drops down he'll pack may not be enough |
8986s | to keep him up but the sound barrier |
8988s | sure will good timing from Super Rich |
8990s | here as the dragons still struggling to |
8992s | find purchase on the point finally flip |
8994s | it in their name |
8996s | and they backed off of it there for the |
8997s | spot I actually thought they could have |
8999s | used that sound barrier and really sort |
9000s | of Juggle the point uh where maybe you |
9003s | haven't just jump back he's going to use |
9005s | the Primal Rage their player down going |
9007s | for the kills here everybody's so low |
9009s | though they're gonna slip away and |
9010s | somehow gooseway comes up with two he is |
9012s | so good bro Luigi gone gets lit limp |
9015s | from limp his extremity huge as a club |
9017s | now his view Toy looks to follow up on |
9019s | that one |
9020s | scary display Pancho flipped the point |
9023s | back usually gets out alive because of |
9025s | course dude here we go here's Winston |
9027s | his Winston is just Next Level man like |
9030s | you know me now in a bit but it's still |
9034s | he just has such a Mastery over that |
9036s | Primal Rage now that allows him to flip |
9039s | the point way after a lot used by both |
9041s | teams well the clocks from both sides |
9042s | here both soldiers trying to peer in for |
9045s | those picks and super riches down first |
9046s | punctual control the point even the mind |
9048s | of the line I'll put his death Blossom |
9050s | if they can get him in position for it |
9052s | flip again very slippery hard to catch |
9054s | and that zuzu's a second too late from |
9056s | teruv |
9063s | shy is he's just gonna exist him for a |
9066s | little bit but this is also like this |
9068s | should have been percentage in theory |
9070s | right Mitch should have already been |
9071s | just going over to Shanghai right like |
9073s | spark had about like 50 or something |
9075s | like usually able to use that Primal |
9077s | flip it gives him about an extra like 15 |
9079s | or maybe a little bit more |
9082s | it it could be big later in the game |
9084s | right just having that extra time |
9085s | already banged for the spark |
9088s | Shanghai back to the point here |
9091s | perhaps want to try and play around |
9092s | kiriko ultimate on the point itself |
9096s | pleasantries exchange by the rivers here |
9098s | forced to get away here comes both into |
9101s | their rushes into a mouse from a Madness |
9103s | and out for you he explodes forward |
9106s | reminds me of the Beyblade days of old |
9109s | lays way to the dragons |
9112s | and I think Lee Jacob was going for the |
9113s | sound barrier there and I'm not I'm not |
9115s | sure he got it off |
9116s | look at this replay here yeah tries to |
9120s | beat her again not able to get it off |
9122s | that he's huge there from Alfie there's |
9124s | just no saving anybody on your team when |
9127s | you have that hasted Reaper multi and |
9129s | the spark now have their own sound |
9131s | barrier and they're gonna end up with a |
9132s | Primal Rage out of this they could steal |
9134s | Mach 1. Super Rich here trying to make |
9135s | sure we can get a good barrier doesn't |
9137s | have to worry about the Shield breaking |
9139s | it up now here it is beat is thrown down |
9141s | the spot gonna go forward at 97 of the |
9143s | Dragon clock and have a chance to get |
9144s | test here dead Blossom from flatter it |
9146s | gets the kill on shy at the very least |
9148s | here and over time it's been secured |
9150s | usually can't quite break through the |
9152s | reaper here so he turns back toward fade |
9155s | away from the point it's gonna be four |
9156s | players for now for the hunger's five |
9157s | trying to hold on faith being popped up |
9159s | here and someone being forced out from |
9161s | the side Terror able to get away but |
9163s | gushway gets caught amongst the massive |
9164s | Shanghai dragons clutching had a chance |
9167s | to stay alive in his first map they |
9169s | flipped the point and they're gonna come |
9170s | out on top in this fight what a crucial |
9172s | one to win here for the dragons |
9178s | he overextends the spark though not in a |
9182s | position to capitalize all that quickly |
9184s | they'll try and be fast about this if |
9185s | they can oh they're gonna try I mean |
9187s | you're gonna use overclock and try and |
9189s | get right in there the dragons |
9191s | have a consumer Rush available here |
9193s | overclock probably could be around and |
9196s | fight very very low to your Force back |
9198s | here's the kiriko ultimate and lit goes |
9200s | forward now where are the targets oh for |
9202s | you oh my gosh you can't be serious the |
9206s | dragons are ready to contest that and |
9209s | Terror and shy both are correct the |
9212s | dragons at the end of the round are |
9214s | unable to touch the point that's Charlie |
9216s | neither |
9218s | and look I would not have picked the |
9220s | spark to win this series I think |
9221s | Shanghai uh with what they displayed |
9223s | over the course of the whole season but |
9224s | I think you kind of see what I was |
9226s | laying out at the beginning of the |
9228s | series where you get Goose Ray on the |
9230s | Winston with shy on the sojourn and |
9232s | Alfie playing this Reaper just in the |
9234s | mix you put players on some of their |
9235s | best heroes and they can really set the |
9237s | pace against this Shanghai team and |
9240s | they're dangerous man the spark steel |
9241s | map one |
9243s | scary stuff we knew this would be the |
9245s | type of show their best work with |
9248s | gooseway at the helm they look |
9249s | Unstoppable so far Shanghai need to |
9252s | double down and find a way to answer the |
9254s | big Burly Simeon threat that currently |
9257s | looms over them |

9500s | pulled out immediately finds profit |
9502s | finds Smurf architect huge picking up |
9504s | more elimination with the blade itself |
9506s | managers go in he comes up with two |
9507s | quick kills his Yaki and lip both |
9509s | falling gets a third for the Hangzhou |
9511s | spark they can absolutely contend with |
9513s | the best the best |
9520s | that there's can be no doubt about it |
9523s | man's got hands 10 final blows three |
9526s | deaths in that first map leaving his |
9528s | team in a metric that you rarely see |
9531s | Winston players leading at times maybe |
9533s | you'll see him you'll be very much a key |
9534s | part of fights but I'd love to know how |
9537s | many of those kills came from Primal |
9538s | Rage I'd say almost half of them |
9540s | stunning work yeah again from Goose way |
9543s | here |
9544s | I look at the look at the dragons right |
9545s | incredible players season veterans |
9547s | Fate's not that guy he is not that |
9550s | high-flying player that takes Winston's |
9552s | skill expression necessarily to another |
9554s | level that's not been his role stopping |
9555s | his job it's not been what's expected of |
9557s | him the spark just have that to fall |
9559s | back on here and what a great opening |
9561s | here in this series Shanghai down a map |
9564s | already |
9566s | yeah and there's Shanghai uh for their |
9569s | map selection will I end up taking us to |
9571s | Kings Row and does that change anything |
9573s | we see in terms of the meta I I I'm |
9576s | gonna kind of go and say I I believe it |
9578s | does it I think we're gonna kind of see |
9580s | this mirror match up uh unfold over the |
9584s | course of a lot of the maps throughout |
9585s | the entire weekend maybe quite frankly |
9587s | all of them uh but king throw definitely |
9590s | a staple a just kind of like home field |
9593s | for just about every team in the league |
9594s | at this point |
9596s | it's been in the game for a long time |
9598s | definitely one of the most iconic Maps I |
9601s | will say one that we don't always see in |
9603s | matters that have more options maybe for |
9606s | tank play don't receive Winston be the |
9608s | go-to here but again it's Defenders you |
9610s | have natural high ground advantage that |
9611s | you can use to your advantage and this |
9613s | attackers you can absolutely use Winston |
9615s | to try and gain control that high ground |
9616s | and transition into it so not out of the |
9619s | question that we see that again here and |
9621s | you have to feel like the Spiker favored |
9623s | in any situation they can bring for |
9625s | Simeon scientists into the fold |
9627s | I would just believe that if you were |
9629s | going to see some different things you |
9630s | probably would have saw some adjustments |
9632s | in terms of the lineups right like if |
9635s | you were going to see some type of like |
9636s | uh Sigma play or you know this is Arya |
9639s | play from Shanghai uh you probably would |
9642s | have solved |
9643s | uh you know the same on the other side |
9645s | for I know hunger like for an arm but I |
9648s | I think with the way these rosters are |
9650s | constructed and with no subs going into |
9652s | this game I think you're gonna see more |
9653s | of the same where the Winston can still |
9654s | uh you know he can kind of control The |
9657s | High Ground but he can at least threaten |
9659s | right and kind of like position for it |
9662s | tough to defend with Winston comps in |
9664s | general I think it's something we |
9665s | observed even in the previous Series |
9667s | where the spit Firework the better team |
9669s | by at least half of for almost the |
9671s | entire series and even at times they |
9673s | find themselves you know trying to |
9674s | engage his Defenders and getting blown |
9676s | up pretty quickly so there's always that |
9678s | level of lethality there you know at |
9680s | defending Winston has to be very aware |
9682s | of when he tries to drop into a |
9684s | composition that is shuffling a Reaper |
9686s | at them at speed Terry here yes uh |
9689s | pardon okay might have had to sue to |
9692s | himself there might be able to Swift |
9694s | step away |
9695s | interesting little opener there is both |
9697s | Jericho's using the wall climb to get |
9699s | info and poke a little |
9702s | you know also can get out of Harm's Way |
9704s | with that Swift step right |
9706s | TP right out oh and that's gonna be |
9709s | shy getting that first kill getting a |
9711s | better lip there they're just trying to |
9712s | march on in and you know this is where |
9714s | gushway can do his thing get aggressive |
9717s | and again first kill for Defenders here |
9719s | they can drag this out Matt they can |
9721s | make it hurt for the dragons who've |
9723s | almost lost them entire minute already |
9724s | passed in a Flash |
9727s | I'd say as well I think this is really |
9730s | good that the the Sparks start things |
9731s | off on the day here right because you |
9733s | take that map number one you know any |
9736s | team right regardless of how confident |
9738s | they are like a little bit of Doubt will |
9739s | free them snap like that |
9743s | lip is so low already terrible it's |
9746s | actually sexy he's gonna steal this yeah |
9747s | you're in a good spot Terry I think says |
9751s | he's playing with house money because of |
9752s | the he's the ability to switch stuff |
9754s | away right he finds like a couple |
9756s | headshot connections there at least puts |
9757s | like a man he'll press it down on the |
9759s | dragons early that puts his team in a |
9761s | significant advantage and the risk he's |
9763s | in back right for you right it is back |
9765s | to the rest of his team rejoin them |
9766s | before the fight begins in earners |
9784s | for both sides on the point here sound |
9787s | barrier is though being held in reserve |
9788s | for the Times League |
9790s | no blood drawn yet in this fight shy |
9793s | holding of course |
9794s | this has to feel like this famous hunger |
9796s | now they can force the dragons to play |
9798s | out of this choke the fatty goes for |
9800s | Legion sound barrier here but what do |
9801s | they get as a result of that extra |
9803s | durability Matthew |
9805s | the hard might not be anything as a |
9808s | Gucci trying to make a player I believe |
9810s | this is yaki up The High Ground they |
9812s | know flood is still back here as well so |
9813s | you have two more players still split |
9816s | off here |
9821s | he's just in the middle of nowhere |
9825s | coming into this game you really have to |
9826s | reassess your expectations I think for |
9828s | how this match plays out now you've seen |
9830s | what we've seen Shanghai are down to |
9833s | less than half of their time to attack |
9834s | with Kia they do have Primal race but |
9836s | they've lost lip again at the start of |
9837s | the fight lip open the series with this |
9840s | absolutely hair brain assault on shine |
9842s | just running into him getting the head |
9843s | shot but now it's all been about shy and |
9846s | that sound barrier really they might not |
9848s | even have been necessary |
9851s | I think you would have wanted that sound |
9853s | barrier for this next fight or just the |
9855s | threat of it holding it coming up right |
9857s | I know overclock death Blossom final uh |
9861s | you're not gonna have anything there to |
9863s | hold on but I tell you what I mean this |
9865s | is about as good of a start to the |
9866s | series as you could have asked for if |
9868s | you're a Hangzhou Sparkman daryu |
9871s | heading back to the rest of his team |
9872s | after his initial forays once more |
9874s | probing for weakness it's great wolf |
9876s | used here and yeah there's that Primal |
9877s | Rage making it possible for shy to get |
9879s | away so fate gets one on the board there |
9881s | Shanghai had the ultimate advantage to |
9884s | work with him looks like the spark may |
9885s | not be in a great spot to get use of it |
9887s | right now that is that consumer Rush of |
9889s | course they haven't been on the point |
9891s | the entire time are you going to be able |
9892s | to come back and challenge us again if |
9893s | you're the score it looks like you're |
9895s | actually yeah it looks like where was |
9898s | that go where'd that come from |
9899s | he was like in the choke and then tped |
9902s | out that's insane what kind of good |
9904s | start for the dragons here here come you |
9906s | can tuna rushes |
9910s | wants to push forward that death Blossom |
9912s | is devastating out of these conditions |
9914s | all too easy for the dragons to finally |
9916s | pick the spark apart but prior to that |
9919s | it was anything but |
9921s | yeah and I mean the kill on the shy |
9923s | there from mizaki is massive I believe |
9925s | he just kind of like pushes us forward |
9927s | and actually is able to take him out |
9929s | with a headshot and then TP out uh but I |
9931s | think Super Rich using that sound |
9932s | barrier like imagine that sound barrier |
9934s | there that's a much closer fight |
9950s | value because Winston bubbles really |
9953s | make it hard for you to do that you just |
9954s | you're better off just healing for most |
9955s | of the time for this initial probing try |
9958s | all this like I think in the fights just |
9960s | sort of throwing knives seems to find |
9962s | some uh pretty impressive purchase from |
9964s | this kiriko players |
9967s | that was sound barrier used by Shanghai |
9969s | to try and keep everybody alive there as |
9971s | they were putting pressure right before |
9972s | Point hungry and usually ends up using |
9974s | the Primal and he ends up taking out |
9976s | league on there towards the end so he'll |
9978s | take that train any day I think if |
9979s | you're the spark live trying to slip |
9981s | away there is he hears the overclock |
9982s | from his number |
9984s | shy he's from the shot here a lot of |
9987s | people have to play inside that one I |
9989s | mean Rock meet hard place |
9992s | right looks like a disruptor shot just |
9994s | on one side of the doorway a death |
9996s | blossoming Reaper on the other side uh |
9999s | no options to survive there if you're |
10002s | the Shanghai Dragon so |
10004s | and and they don't when they push up |
10007s | they're trying to like get a lot more |
10008s | cart progress than this they don't even |
10010s | really make it clear around that first |
10011s | Corner remaining not a great spot for |
10014s | the dragons to be in |
10016s | they've had their successes at times |
10018s | here right you're capping the point and |
10019s | then that sort of next fight a good open |
10021s | it from lip he's been pretty quiet |
10022s | outside of that so far match so this is |
10024s | absolutely necessary shy is having a |
10026s | Trader backed on they've lost Lee take |
10027s | on where's that if it's just gonna come |
10029s | from now no speed boost available for |
10031s | the dragons they're trying to peer in |
10032s | and find just picks here live gotta be |
10034s | topped up as he's getting good under |
10036s | extreme scrutiny by gooseway there but |
10038s | fake deals for super rich and shy deep |
10040s | in the enemy backlines great peel great |
10042s | awareness from face there to salvage the |
10044s | fight for the dragons |
10047s | it's a lip even without the overclock |
10049s | comes up with three there |
10051s | some massive plays from lip is Shanghai |
10055s | going to get really close to taking this |
10056s | to Second checkpoint we're probably |
10058s | gonna end up in OT a Super Rich has to |
10061s | sound barrier which is going to be the |
10063s | main difference going into this fight |
10064s | yeah and Primal too |
10067s | can he find an openly at the start of |
10069s | the fight |
10070s | looks less than likely here but the rush |
10072s | is gonna charge the dragons 40 and try |
10075s | and close the gap take the space away |
10076s | from people like shy primer rage they're |
10078s | coming out from both sides Distributing |
10080s | these spark plays bit more sparsely |
10082s | across the card but fate is low one |
10084s | healthy needs to get away it's gonna |
10085s | take a while to pop him up is a Yaki |
10087s | going to work with those administrations |
10088s | but he's only at half Health as he tries |
10090s | to contest here death Blossom for |
10092s | flatter is going to be huge he needs to |
10093s | find a way to get in here but they've |
10095s | already last fight this is gonna be |
10096s | enough sound barrier there for the |
10098s | dragons and Splitters at least able to |
10099s | find Super Rich here out Mickey Clinging |
10101s | On he's able to find another splatter |
10103s | and Terror he's able to slip away at the |
10105s | last moment but flat anywhere he turn up |
10107s | shotgun to the back of the head and now |
10109s | alfiggy has to try and stand and trade |
10110s | blows with flutter it's about buying |
10112s | some time here but in overtime the |
10114s | dragons will scrape in the last phase of |
10116s | the map |
10117s | uh and that is why you love watching the |
10120s | Shanghai dragons play and you love their |
10123s | chances in a long playoff like this I |
10126s | mean just to to contest the payload and |
10129s | wait out the sound barrier they're used |
10131s | by the spark I mean just perfect the way |
10133s | they just kind of juggled it between so |
10135s | the responsibility the Lucio the Winston |
10137s | The Reaper and then just building up |
10139s | towards their own sound barrier and able |
10141s | to take it that's another shot there |
10143s | from lip to open things up not even the |
10145s | slightest twitch from humerus he sets |
10147s | off that railgun smooth like butter from |
10150s | lips |
10151s | and now the spark will be stuck back |
10152s | inside their spawn this is a lot of |
10154s | ground to be gained by the dragons who |
10156s | still have some time to work with here |
10158s | and another overclock for lip Kung Fu |
10161s | need shy to make a retort here in some |
10163s | way shape or form |
10165s | big time I mean we've seen just lipco |
10167s | unanswered here is that's going to be |
10169s | shy popping his overclock as well lift |
10172s | his deep Behind Enemy Alliance he |
10173s | disrupt the shot |
10175s | Sidelines though and in the meantime |
10177s | flutter gets picked off by shy gets |
10180s | through their rush now for the hung |
10181s | showing spark and a sound barrier that |
10182s | they'll surely hold in reserve there'll |
10184s | be one fight left for the Shanghai |
10185s | dragons here they're gonna have to hope |
10187s | they can build a sound barrier going |
10189s | into it |
10191s | I I look I think they're going to be |
10193s | able to do so but are they even gonna be |
10195s | able to make it back 10 seconds left |
10196s | here and Gucci's gonna have Primal Nice |
10198s | disruptor Shot just slows down Fate and |
10200s | takes some of his health away five |
10201s | seconds left it's a long way to get back |
10203s | to the car look how far forward Matt the |
10205s | spark have been able to push and they're |
10206s | trying to make sure the dragons can't |
10208s | slip through no chance for Shanghai to |
10210s | get back to the cart Hangzhou astutely |
10212s | moving the battle line up making it so |
10214s | hard to slip through |
10217s | I really like the decision by the spark |
10220s | they push up they realize |
10222s | now how much time is left on the clock |
10225s | now I think it's up let us switch over |
10227s | to the Sombra there just to probably go |
10228s | in this try and get a touch but you know |
10230s | disrupt the shot winstein right a lot to |
10233s | I know uncloak the Sombra |
10235s | stopper stop the summer from getting |
10238s | towards the payload and the Primal there |
10240s | to use as well gets popped at the end uh |
10243s | pretty good defense here from the spark |
10244s | honestly with how things are going at |
10246s | the start you almost are probably pretty |
10247s | happy with that as the dragons right |
10249s | because it was not looking good for a |
10251s | very long time I mean you're getting |
10252s | spawn Camp uh you know for a few minutes |
10255s | there on your offense yeah look I think |
10258s | they Salvage a potentially devastating |
10260s | situation to something that they can |
10262s | work with right they can start to cycle |
10264s | some of their ultimates effectively on |
10265s | defense and make sure that you know keep |
10267s | fight topped up as he will try and dip |
10269s | in contest the points here |
10271s | then they might be okay and there's a |
10273s | lot to fear from the hunk show side of |
10275s | things right Goose way is just such an |
10276s | expert at identifying uh you know ways |
10279s | to get into the fight while still giving |
10280s | himself enough breathing room to back up |
10282s | get healed up |
10283s | kiriko needs to be relatively close to |
10285s | her I intended target of healing because |
10287s | it was travel time right and obviously |
10289s | her healing can be obstructed so there's |
10292s | always a risk there at the taru of |
10293s | trying to stay close to the diving Goose |
10295s | where you put yourself In Harm's Way we |
10297s | saw Terror as well start the last round |
10299s | Matt try and go for some pokes here |
10300s | we'll see if he tries to use that wall |
10301s | climb again to open things up |
10304s | really aggressive play from Teru uh on |
10308s | the curry go so see if it's matched by |
10310s | iziyaki is yaki seems to be playing way |
10312s | safer around the rest of the team bright |
10314s | damage with crucial by the dragons here |
10316s | they do top him up though |
10318s | both teams take a quick breather now but |
10320s | ground has been gained in left by the |
10322s | spark now to play around the statue and |
10324s | closely in the hotel live sideline now |
10326s | is very narrow who's trying able to play |
10328s | quite closely here but it's still going |
10330s | to be staved off once more fate |
10331s | reasserts his position on the ball tarun |
10334s | he just Dives in this Yaki full spell of |
10337s | a kunai to the head taru I think use |
10339s | Gucci to dive into that just where he |
10341s | was yeah the guy is absolutely unhinged |
10345s | he is deep and and what does he do he |
10348s | starts like fighting and battling a |
10350s | little bit he uses the the Susie for |
10352s | even more involved on himself uh and |
10354s | then get to kill him just tb's on out |
10357s | that's despicable stuff way different |
10359s | yeah I mean way different use of the |
10362s | hero right uh then you're gonna see like |
10364s | iziaki potentially uh playing against |
10366s | but very effective it looks like thus |
10368s | far your biggest issue is with your with |
10370s | your kunai I travel time and damage |
10371s | warlock you can answer both of those by |
10373s | closing the gap |
10375s | Peru previously prolific Genji main |
10378s | player also a lot of flex support in |
10381s | this background never forget his 5K 6K |
10383s | bracket blade I think we saw starting to |
10385s | Great open and they look at this the |
10386s | dragons are unseasoned so easily here |
10389s | they look uncomfortable in dealing with |
10391s | the thrusts here from the spark |
10393s | ing |
10395s | Terror was able to get sneaky right |
10397s | around those Corners uh you know their |
10399s | headshot puts anybody here basically one |
10401s | shot range right uh outside of probably |
10404s | the team uh and the rest of the team can |
10407s | just kind of like dive in if if Shanghai |
10409s | commits on the terryuks and uses like |
10411s | their abilities to do so he just TPS on |
10413s | out a lot of road work Happening Here |
10415s | fight though takes the fast lane into |
10418s | Shai's domain over to clean them up |
10419s | pretty comfortably here and flat a will |
10422s | end the fight |
10424s | again I think you know in in total |
10427s | kiriko and Lucio have pretty similar |
10429s | output across the course of a map right |
10430s | Izzy Arc actually is less damage than |
10432s | Lee Jacob for example |
10434s | um but your damages kirikou can quite |
10436s | often come in these bursts right uh you |
10438s | obviously have higher burst damage |
10439s | potential that sort of pseudo wins to |
10441s | kill potential getting out close to the |
10443s | knife sometimes you're still fine these |
10445s | these kills all key headshots are like a |
10447s | close Winston that skewed the tank fight |
10450s | heavily in your favor |
10454s | kind of hell like the sojourn railgun |
10457s | shots right here so impactful hitting |
10459s | them at range whether or not still or |
10460s | not I mean look how low fake gets there |
10462s | that shy doesn't even wait for that |
10464s | second round shot to charge on |
10465s | completely from his overclock he knows |
10467s | he has quite dead to rise comes in with |
10469s | a hit shot instantly again as Tanki as |
10472s | Winston is all these defenses get laid |
10474s | pretty bare once he eats a face full of |
10476s | these rail shots and the sparkle while |
10478s | on the way here to another checkpoint |
10479s | there's a sound barrier for both teams |
10481s | here sooner Rush not on the table so |
10483s | bear that in mind it's gonna be pretty |
10484s | similar old profiles outside of Fate |
10486s | having the Primal Rage |
10490s | Sound area from both sides and let it |
10492s | goes in actually thought about maybe |
10493s | using his own death Blossom but that's |
10495s | gonna be Alpha he already using his |
10496s | possibly he was waiting at the sound |
10498s | barrier a little bit there is pretty |
10499s | preemptive from out for you to dive in |
10501s | with that Reaper ultimate so I'm gonna |
10503s | find one kill at least deceased in the |
10505s | in the elimination of one player there |
10507s | but a lot of that damage went into that |
10509s | overhealth |
10513s | so they have to be a little bit careful |
10515s | you see like uh they thought maybe like |
10517s | taru could actually have like played for |
10519s | maybe a sneaky kind of rapper payload |
10522s | there yep uh because he gets TP right on |
10525s | out if uh you know he gets in trouble |
10526s | where and he'll have that consumer Rush |
10529s | from the hondro spark so this could be |
10531s | an opportunity where you know face up on |
10533s | The High Ground you get get a good |
10535s | Alleyway here with your Reaper and |
10536s | making him fight poop fight now has to |
10538s | go back to his back line and maybe |
10539s | instead feel he gets redirected and the |
10542s | sparkle ready for this that whole time |
10544s | it looked like alphagy gone because he |
10546s | shot on The High Ground he actually did |
10547s | nine feet away from Plankton that |
10549s | balcony entirely just by walking up on |
10551s | him and then he dropped down great way |
10553s | to open the fight and the dragons didn't |
10555s | have kiriko ultimate up they were in a |
10557s | distinct disadvantage |
10559s | and I love the route that Alfie takes |
10561s | like you mentioned right they they |
10562s | rushed down that staircase and like in |
10565s | that Alleyway and Alpha e actually comes |
10566s | from the opposite side so he gets the |
10568s | effects from it on the opposite side but |
10570s | there's so much happening that like in |
10572s | front of the Shanghai dragons it makes |
10573s | it pretty difficult to like turn and |
10575s | focus now on the reaper who's like the |
10577s | real benefit of that like how we heard |
10579s | backbone talk about in that interview |
10580s | and focus him down which allows Alfie to |
10583s | just you know do his thing for free so |
10584s | if later realizing he needs to consider |
10586s | do it out but he does Ryan assert |
10587s | himself in maintaining that defensive |
10589s | High Ground position Super Rich gets |
10592s | tough short mirrors lip sees him |
10594s | skittering by and meets him with a |
10595s | headshot alphagy now is just I'm not |
10598s | sure what's going on there just trying |
10599s | to make sure he gets eliminated as |
10600s | quickly as possible Terry will follow |
10602s | soon after |
10605s | look man Shanghai looks awesome and |
10606s | looks able to get like four kills in a |
10608s | fight |
10609s | I know outside of those it's it's been |
10611s | pretty tough uh to get anything going is |
10614s | you're gonna have sound barriers for |
10616s | both teams so it's gonna be a death |
10618s | Blossom available uh but limp stops the |
10622s | push and stops everything going on for |
10623s | the spark before they could even get |
10625s | something going there with that railgun |
10627s | shot he and shy really evenly matched |
10629s | here Matthew both have 11 charge shot |
10631s | kills uh shy 57 lived 61 charge shot |
10635s | accuracy they are already recording |
10636s | right now |
10638s | and honestly uh like how I talk about at |
10641s | the beginning of the series like a path |
10642s | to victory for the spark I talked about |
10644s | that even match-up uh I think if they're |
10647s | even that is a win for the smokes |
10649s | they've got so many other secret weapons |
10650s | to rely on like this one here death |
10652s | Blossom from Fletcher sound Barry was |
10654s | there though again timing not favoring |
10656s | the dragons both teams go for those |
10658s | Lucio ultimates and now with these |
10659s | katuna rushes out of face for one |
10661s | another we'll have a team use them to |
10663s | steamroll the other in many of these |
10665s | fights this one is hangzhos and they'll |
10667s | hold on to the death Blossom going into |
10669s | the next one that card one fight away |
10671s | from the end of the map |
10673s | and you're gonna be forced to fight on |
10675s | the goal right with where the payload is |
10678s | what is that lift just comes out of the |
10679s | spawn that's a poop knocks healthy up |
10681s | and then a shot with the railgun yeah if |
10684s | the one-man band right now instantly |
10686s | cuts the threat from hungjo down in half |
10689s | the start of that fight |
10691s | so much I could do except tread water |
10693s | and kind of wait for their fights to be |
10694s | met tarot again nice little pick but |
10696s | doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of |
10697s | things hunk shows time starting to run |
10699s | short |
10700s | yeah it's starting to get into a |
10703s | dangerous territory here right where you |
10705s | know isiaki has I know the casino rush |
10708s | and then Fate has a primal uh I think if |
10711s | you're hung Joe you're looking at maybe |
10712s | just trying to get a really fast fight |
10713s | get some of those ultimates out of the |
10715s | shots throw to his position so his |
10717s | Sidelines aren't great at the moment |
10718s | he's caught in the middle this fight |
10719s | still he finds lip Howe so much pressure |
10722s | coming from fate and yet Shy's able to |
10724s | draw a beat on his opposite number what |
10726s | a huge way to win the fight without just |
10727s | smashing kill with your kiriko ultimate |
10729s | and now Alpha he wants to make this even |
10731s | worse waiting for his death not some |
10733s | opportunity now and he gets him uziaki |
10735s | goes down |
10739s | the pedal stays off the gas right now |
10742s | tries to float around that Winston |
10744s | bubble in the middle of the fight but |
10745s | this is it this is John the hung show |
10747s | spark get it done taking this second lap |
10750s | in this series |
10751s | in in when I was trying to lay out that |
10754s | path to victory for the spark at the |
10756s | beginning of the series nope shy and lip |
10759s | basically has to be a neutral battle |
10761s | which we're seeing here and you know you |
10763s | have to get that you know big time |
10765s | playmaking from now Alfie and gushway |
10767s | are seeing it as well from Teru and |
10770s | Shanghai doesn't have an answer for that |
10772s | type of pace and you know the aggression |
10773s | that's coming out from the spark so |
10775s | spark jump up 2-0 Jai comes alive in |
10777s | those final moments there ends I win 18 |
10779s | final blows it is a Titanic clash |
10782s | between Soldier and players and Hangzhou |
10785s | win it out again it's a zero two |
10787s | situation for the dragons they get a lot |
10789s | to rumor that on but not much time stick |
10791s | around the third map it's coming right |

11081s | some of these Maps his uh Reaper has |
11083s | been a steeple thus far Winston uh |
11086s | sojourn uh kariko and Lucio uh so far |
11090s | today and in this matchup yup that is |
11092s | the 12th seeded Hangzhou spark mind you |
11095s | we have 12 teams in the playoffs uh |
11098s | really taking it to the fifth seed |
11100s | Shanghai dragons uh in |
11103s | in a series where I think if you looked |
11105s | at the teams obviously the Shanghai |
11106s | dragons have had the better totality of |
11108s | the season but with what you saw there |
11110s | for the first series and what this meta |
11112s | could be uh you could tell this could be |
11115s | a very scary series if hongsho kind of |
11118s | showed up at some of their peaks for |
11120s | some of these players on these Heroes |
11121s | and that's exactly what we've seen in |
11123s | the first two matches this isn't the |
11124s | first time we've seen this from Hangzhou |
11126s | it just doesn't happen all the time |
11127s | right thinking back to mid-season's |
11129s | Madness I'm sure why I would have |
11130s | leverage this kind of play really |
11132s | effectively it was actually a better |
11133s | game where a lot of otherwise top teams |
11136s | struggle because it involved a lot of |
11138s | this sort of more diver into play style |
11140s | around Winston this is absolutely |
11142s | tangzhou's natural style something that |
11144s | fits them very well Goose way from |
11146s | Primal rages alone run away it's got six |
11148s | final blows these numbers are completely |
11152s | uh disproportionate to what you normally |
11154s | expect Winston be able to do with that |
11155s | ability we've harved on that a lot |
11156s | though it's a Route 66 map Pit by the |
11158s | dragons here |
11159s | let me tell you what Mitch this is why |
11162s | it's so important for those you know |
11165s | seeding weeks and regular season |
11167s | tournaments to be able to earn those |
11168s | League points because you know top four |
11171s | you get a Vibe right you're you're not |
11173s | in a situation like this if you're the |
11176s | Shanghai dragons with a new meta going |
11179s | up against the team who's a very scary |
11181s | uh no playing some of these Heroes uh |
11184s | that top four really paying off for some |
11186s | of those teams to be able to sit and |
11187s | watch uh and then ultimately end up |
11189s | picking their opponents yeah no doubt |
11190s | about it a lot of uh you know |
11192s | information gathering going on from the |
11194s | teams waiting in the wings at the moment |
11196s | I'm sure that you know this definitely |
11198s | changes uh the calculus in terms of |
11201s | selection of opponent in a big way |
11203s | hungry now looking like one of the teams |
11205s | to beat in this kind of mini game Matt |
11208s | where's the dragons again like |
11210s | you know we see a lot of their success |
11212s | come from different picks in the past |
11214s | fight a very very strong tank player |
11216s | who's who's you know whether the |
11218s | onslaught of so many top uh you know |
11220s | tank opponents in the past but have we |
11222s | seen him climb to the same Heights in |
11224s | specifically the Winston category is is |
11226s | goose Ray no not necessarily hard for |
11228s | him to have that same level of impact |
11230s | and on these team fights |
11233s | well so we we have seen fate play the |
11236s | Winston at like a league best level but |
11240s | in the in the past right |
11242s | um in OverWatch 2 and like 5v5 I think |
11245s | Gucci's play style which is like way |
11247s | more aggressive uh you know pushing the |
11250s | pace you know deep into the back line |
11252s | right being a real disrupter probably |
11254s | plays a little bit better than like |
11256s | Bates type of play style I know as |
11258s | obviously the change is five on five and |
11260s | yeah what not so uh I I think like yes I |
11264s | think both of the winstons on both teams |
11266s | are just tremendous I think it's just |
11268s | like a playstyle uh difference right now |
11270s | I mean fight's not playing badly at all |
11272s | he's having an excellent no it's just |
11275s | his style manifests so differently the |
11276s | goose ways and Goose way is able to find |
11278s | these higher highs in in many of these |
11280s | moments where he just you know think |
11282s | back to Oasis man where he is a losing |
11284s | fight it's like a 3v5 or something you |
11286s | know pretty hard to play into he pops |
11288s | primer rage and all of a sudden his team |
11289s | have the point they're back in control |
11290s | and you go what just happened Primal |
11292s | just is a completely different ultimate |
11294s | between the two teams right now right |
11295s | for Shanghai uh you know it's a it's a |
11299s | nice to have right like extends fights |
11302s | you know dislodges people uh for the |
11305s | spark it's like resulted in like you |
11306s | know a kill or two right uh or or |
11310s | leading to some of those kills right |
11312s | where uh you can think like Gucci kind |
11313s | of uh pushing Lee Jay gone you know what |
11316s | happens there no on King's role winter a |
11319s | really difficult position and he ends up |
11321s | getting taken out so uh just way |
11324s | different mechanics I think between |
11325s | those two players and these two teams |
11327s | right now |
11328s | and I think we need to talk about shy |
11329s | still even though gooseway is definitely |
11331s | delighted excited us with these |
11332s | mechanics on that Winston shy in the |
11334s | head-to-head against lip is winning out |
11336s | uh if we want to use metrics like final |
11338s | blows or or accuracy with those charged |
11340s | shots or kills that come as a result of |
11342s | those not by much might do both these |
11346s | days are playing at like you know the |
11347s | quality League best levels here guys |
11349s | just a little better when it comes |
11351s | together |
11355s | if you could have told the spark at the |
11357s | beginning of the series Shai is going to |
11359s | match lift in the sojourn battle you |
11361s | would have taken that 100 uh like to |
11365s | have the deaths mentioned live no |
11367s | potentially you know the best sojourn |
11369s | player and not just in the in his region |
11371s | but in the league uh in shine we know he |
11374s | has those highs |
11377s | that's a disruptor shot he actually gets |
11379s | lower than Terry with a headshot |
11381s | finishes him again it's easy to line |
11382s | that up the slowing effect of the |
11384s | disruptor shot means that he can |
11386s | actually lead his Target a little bit |
11387s | easier in theory or he does Cactus him |
11390s | with a with a white with me but either |
11391s | way that's right but a headshot is uh |
11393s | still gonna be pretty brutal even sort |
11395s | of medium range like that but if you |
11397s | can't if you can't depend on it to be |
11399s | the difference making here in this |
11400s | sojourn in battle right where else do |
11403s | you turn where else do you look on this |
11404s | Shanghai drag who else steps up and |
11406s | actually creates a you know a disparity |
11408s | in role against her opposite number to |
11410s | help you across the line I mean I I |
11412s | think you got to look at iziyaki and I |
11414s | think you got to look at fate being more |
11415s | impactful trying to get to that high |
11417s | ground and it'll cause some problems |
11419s | both kirikou players have had a couple |
11421s | Peaks showing Kuru is in the back line |
11424s | for a spell at least quickly returning |
11426s | to patch coach way up and get him back |
11428s | in the fight but this way is extremely |
11429s | low yeah as soon as plenty got close |
11431s | enough there's just no chance of keeping |
11433s | that Winston fighting fit |
11436s | yeah but Shanghai is going to have to |
11437s | back up so you're probably gonna get no |
11439s | Gucci back into this fight before the |
11442s | next one kicks up |
11443s | I think as well dude there's probably so |
11445s | much pressure on the dragons right now |
11447s | right knowing they're the fifth seed |
11448s | knowing they're going up against our |
11450s | last seated team you know the 12th seed |
11452s | at home show spark like on offense right |
11454s | now you start to like stall out a little |
11456s | bit and that clock dwindles down already |
11457s | being down 2-0 so that doubt starts to |
11460s | creep in two day rush comes up first for |
11462s | the spark question will be how quickly |
11464s | they opt to make use of it that's been |
11466s | answered now shy here trying to do a |
11468s | fight goes into Primal and he just |
11470s | juggles shy up so Lyft can pick it off |
11472s | clay pigeon shooting here for Liberty's |
11474s | found two back-to-back kills on both DPS |
11477s | on the side of the spark leaves him |
11479s | looking a little toothless for the rest |
11480s | of the fight |
11483s | yeah and you were I was going to wonder |
11485s | I was like do you see them maybe try and |
11487s | fight this like if super rich is able to |
11489s | get out with his beat and you can get |
11491s | the Primal on there and get players back |
11493s | in but no they lose Super Rich they have |
11495s | to back out so really good offense so |
11497s | far you're from the Shanghai Dragon |
11498s | we're pointing out fight might not be |
11500s | finding kills with the problem |
11507s | in air for a Time |
11510s | fight their nabs off that health pack |
11512s | he's looking pretty good so far as a |
11514s | facilitator for the dragons after a |
11516s | little bit of a slow start don't show |
11518s | sparked to have |
11519s | run into many of these ultimates pretty |
11521s | quickly the one thing to worry about is |
11522s | the dragons can layer these support |
11524s | ultimates |
11527s | so low and they're not going to be able |
11529s | to use the sound barrier to keep them |
11530s | off that's going to be layering both |
11532s | supporters on top of each other now it's |
11534s | terrible for the dragon it's a crucial |
11535s | stays clear the landing zone for as long |
11537s | as he possibly can right the heist is |
11539s | still very scary but without Rinker to |
11540s | make use of that he'll increase his fire |
11542s | rate to make him a true tank Buster it's |
11545s | so hard for the dragons to get good |
11547s | value out of the Kirito ultimate fight |
11548s | goes down now and that hurts got it |
11551s | hurts so bad for the dragons Matthew two |
11554s | critically important support ultimates |
11556s | use and you lose the fight hard |
11559s | I gotta say uh as well great patience |
11562s | from Super Rich and terrible like Gucci |
11565s | gets extremely low in there right |
11567s | outside and they end up being able to |
11569s | hold on to sound barrier oh and take |
11571s | some time off it's a beautiful hitch out |
11573s | there's taru's really uh you know |
11576s | showing us a new way to play Rico well |
11580s | if your gold is actually the current way |
11581s | to play it but I I take the point really |
11584s | getting aggressive and getting a ton of |
11586s | value out of that three times headshot |
11587s | multiplier can't believe you're throwing |
11589s | shade at your own I'm diving fine thank |
11592s | you |
11592s | having to exposed myself on that one |
11594s | Alfie catches Lee Tech on there though |
11596s | in the dragons now might be forced to |
11598s | play from inside that tunnel they don't |
11600s | have the maneuverability to get |
11601s | themselves |
11612s | shy here you're gonna be able to |
11614s | experience |
11616s | on there nice uh boobs and back so let |
11620s | us go into no exit with this light |
11622s | you're not gonna be able to make |
11624s | anything really out of this so I think |
11625s | Shy is going to be back already up on |
11627s | that High Ground behind |
11628s | it's uh it's been about two minutes plus |
11631s | you're stalled out of this door in a |
11632s | spot from held off to these ultimates |
11633s | just so long they've not had to use them |
11636s | Alfie though won't have a chance to use |
11638s | that death Blossom at all as Midway |
11640s | through that animation it's not all |
11641s | invulnerable for the reaper flip is able |
11644s | to find that kill the shark gets chased |
11646s | away to your fate more than happy to |
11647s | probably use Primal just to chase as the |
11649s | spark did try and sheepishly disengage |
11652s | Shanghai should have an advantage here |
11654s | though uh double support alts going into |
11657s | this fight where the spark just have |
11659s | primal uh and they have their death boss |
11662s | like he's behind them |
11668s | we just told cop site Primal maybe |
11670s | pretty much for buying time to return I |
11674s | feel great either way he's not really in |
11675s | a position to contest directly losing |
11677s | Terry he means he's just figured about |
11679s | it just forget about it tough one for |
11681s | Gucci he really gets caught on the |
11682s | outside looking in there Matthew |
11685s | yeah that was just he gets like caught |
11688s | in the choke uh from the the fight |
11690s | previously and never ends up making it |
11692s | back to his team and then also they just |
11694s | don't even care Shanghai to go back and |
11696s | challenge it and try and make a play for |
11698s | him so no that's dangerous you can't |
11700s | lose anybody here is yeah Shanghai is |
11702s | starting to get rolling his lips |
11703s | starting to find these kills it's gonna |
11705s | be the awareness from Super Rich that |
11706s | the dragons are trying to push their |
11707s | advantage here and uh gain some extra |
11710s | old percentage and also get the car |
11711s | closer to the corner early on he's just |
11714s | sort of all climbing on that pillar it's |
11716s | very easy for limp to pick him up |
11717s | summoned his color anyway nice to the |
11719s | redirect there on Fate's dive he's not |
11721s | in a great spot to make use of it here |
11722s | in a bit disengage from that consumer |
11724s | Rush DJ gone fortunately not a thing to |
11726s | use the sound barrier might want it now |
11727s | though is his yakis down to the death |
11729s | blossom |
11731s | oh there's a flooded teleports gets |
11734s | right on in and everybody's already gone |
11735s | so we saw a Carpe go with a little bit |
11738s | of a predictive death plus and it |
11739s | doesn't work out that time you see how |
11741s | it can work out where everybody gets |
11743s | aggressive but behind the rush there uh |
11746s | for the dragons and the death Blossom |
11748s | around Alfie just waiting on the other |
11749s | side |
11751s | upside for the dragons here obviously |
11753s | being able to maintain a sound barrier |
11755s | for this next engagement |
11757s | r ing though so I'd like to see the |
11760s | music proactively |
11762s | keep quiet where continue Rush can't get |
11764s | value but the dragons are caught on the |
11766s | back foot here to spark get the exact |
11768s | engagement they want where they want it |
11771s | down please the story of the whole |
11774s | series right if all these fights have |
11776s | been you know fought on the Sparks Turf |
11778s | so to speak where uh or this Sparks |
11781s | taste actually takes out China at the |
11784s | end see I tell you what if lift wasn't |
11786s | having the series he's having which like |
11788s | is actually this guy would be on the |
11789s | series even even down two up yeah we'd |
11791s | be done with this series by now I mean |
11793s | that's how good live has been on the |
11795s | soldier just honestly getting these |
11796s | first picks dragging his team Kicking |
11798s | and Screaming here into a competitive |
11800s | showing on this third map of the series |
11802s | sound very differently Jay gone Goose |
11804s | race Primal Rage here will tick down and |
11806s | he won't find much for it the overclock |
11808s | comes up at an opportune moment for Lyft |
11810s | to punish Alpha Yee there's a lot of |
11812s | space look at how they fan out towards |
11814s | the spawn doors here no one's on the |
11815s | card one player in the car right now |
11817s | right so they're able to get it close to |
11818s | this last cul-de-sac and what do the |
11820s | spark have left to try him out of |
11822s | Defense |
11823s | nothing I mean they're just gonna try |
11825s | and play for OT at this point let up |
11827s | with the Death Watch could just get |
11829s | everybody off of the car Ah that's |
11831s | pretty big the sojourn Placer Lucio was |
11833s | enough to get the job done Shanghai they |
11836s | realize it right I think towards the |
11837s | start of that last phase hey we've got a |
11839s | great opportunity to set our battle |
11841s | lines really far forward far further |
11843s | than the card is and make use of our |
11845s | long-range hit scan pressure from |
11846s | someone like uh lip to get a lot of free |
11849s | push and make it possible for the Spy to |
11851s | get fights on their terms there's one |
11852s | fight right there Matt where you sort of |
11854s | pointed out the Hangzhou spikes start at |
11856s | first it's on their Tempo and looks |
11858s | really good but after that they really |
11860s | use up a lot of their resources and let |
11862s | the dragons sneak in a map completion |
11863s | I'll be in overtime |
11866s | so now I think that's kind of what the |
11869s | spark when you see that last part of the |
11871s | map in the timing on the clock that's |
11873s | kind of what they're playing for right |
11874s | is to just do not let Shanghai finish |
11876s | with any time on the clock uh you know |
11879s | finishing that OT where now the spark |
11883s | your kind of goal is like okay if we |
11884s | finish with any time in the clock we |
11886s | have a chance to finish this series here |
11887s | I guess look the fact that it's a pure |
11889s | escort map means that it doesn't hurt |
11891s | the dragons that much to finish in |
11892s | overtime right they'll get an extension |
11894s | uh regardless |
11896s | so yeah for them to be in a position |
11898s | where they can maybe tax hangzhou's |
11900s | progress to the same degree |
11902s | then they're uneven |
11904s | yeah |
11908s | this is the uh the spark because Kevin's |
11910s | trying to make one of his classic sneaky |
11912s | plays and live instantly shuts the door |
11914s | off |
11915s | this is where they lost tons of uh time |
11918s | on defense here where Gucci was just |
11920s | kind of hanging out Behind Enemy Lines |
11921s | for a while same with uh Teru for a bit |
11925s | okay so ha some roadhogs junkrat action |
11930s | look roadhog you got it between good |
11933s | against this uh paper calm |
11936s | um |
11938s | the last time I saw this was collusion |
11940s | by the way uh Clayton's on Oasis against |
11942s | the wrecking ball composition and it |
11944s | works it worked really well there's no |
11946s | bionic grenade right about to punish |
11948s | this this robot amongst other things |
11952s | you get so wrapped up and trying to like |
11954s | Focus down the road hog that you realize |
11957s | like just just kill him last ah but you |
11960s | already see them switch off a bit as uh |
11961s | it's a it's a fun part at the start |
11964s | maybe get a hook get a kill right they |
11965s | end up getting a hook on a beat but not |
11967s | the kill after that I think yeah you |
11970s | gotta switch off of it |
11973s | Hunter though they do identify that the |
11975s | dragons play close and play aggressive |
11977s | early there's taru |
11983s | a fantastic dive how do poor dragons |
11985s | players just materialize on Shai's front |
11987s | doorsteps |
11989s | in the poor shot you you see everybody |
11992s | else from the Sparkman like pushed up uh |
11995s | nobody there to be able to help him out |
11997s | have you heard the good word of Our Lord |
11999s | Nation |
12003s | I mean uh no it's there for the spark |
12005s | sometimes |
12007s | sometimes it's not no so they got to be |
12011s | careful as well like can you go in on |
12012s | these flanks constantly with the kariko |
12014s | like because eventually Shanghai is |
12015s | gonna figure it out right |
12017s | they can put pressure on the other side |
12019s | that's gonna happen right huge shot |
12021s | there there's just a lot of volatility |
12023s | that is offered to you by having a |
12024s | sojourn on your side of the map |
12026s | the Dragonstone In fairness rather |
12028s | undeterred by this turn of events |
12031s | well there is no Lucio to disengage |
12034s | right now uh for the dragons I think if |
12036s | you're the spark you need to push the |
12037s | advantage like this is where they cannot |
12039s | hightail it out of there and get all |
12041s | healed up but you pretty much conceded |
12043s | that Advantage this guy would normally |
12045s | like to catch fight with the head shot |
12046s | before he touches down there but the |
12048s | angle was too sharp for him to line up |
12050s | and he didn't know where fight will be |
12051s | coming from so if I get the Primal Rage |
12053s | Dragon are trying to ignore the Winston |
12055s | as much as possible and try and connect |
12056s | their headshot but there's just a |
12058s | churning massive bodies here on the top |
12059s | of the girl making it very hard to pick |
12061s | out any individuals okay Sal barriers |
12063s | now come out from both sides here we've |
12065s | seen both kids in their rashes so far |
12067s | Goosebumps Primal raid what does it feel |
12069s | to put in a spark but doesn't have yield |
12071s | anything that was |
12072s | that was flood is that Blossom as well |
12074s | he doesn't even actually get through the |
12076s | animation like the animation doesn't |
12077s | even like start uh if he gets taken out |
12080s | so his yaki'll get a kill here on the |
12082s | exit so to speak but this should be the |
12084s | spark taking this first checkpoint and |
12086s | they hold on to their death I think an |
12088s | old Topsy might have revealed a couple |
12089s | kunai in the cranium of flatter there as |
12091s | he tried to go for the death loss if he |
12093s | eats a ton of damage and Terry was |
12095s | involved in that elimination by the kill |
12096s | feed so great work to shut down the |
12099s | reaper and that death Blossom his |
12100s | flutter was trying to make a late fight |
12102s | Gambit keep his team in it |
12107s | disrupting and you get flip off of this |
12110s | High Ground so good on the sojourn that |
12112s | like you need to dislodge him from these |
12114s | types of positions because that's where |
12115s | he can really start to take over what |
12117s | would you take the fight somewhere |
12118s | that's out of outside of his purview |
12119s | right I think that's what the spider's |
12120s | hopes to do by fighting over that Mega |
12122s | room but still a little bit scared about |
12124s | a week coming up close and just blowing |
12126s | Goose way up |
12129s | and also like they're trying to beat |
12131s | gushway in right like the Swift steps |
12133s | gone there but if he would have dove in |
12135s | like the the China's Dash there from the |
12137s | sojourn with the jump is still in play |
12139s | where lift would have been able to just |
12140s | get him down and they did they do he |
12142s | goes into the saloon I guess an offer of |
12144s | a cold beverage and companionship this |
12145s | luring him into Close Quarters where the |
12147s | dragons just dropped that kiriko |
12149s | ultimate and run rough shot over the |
12151s | sponge |
12155s | at the end |
12159s | it looks like a little bit of a Chase |
12161s | but yeah just gonna make it out there |
12163s | with that wraith form but a little bit |
12165s | of an advantage here for the spark right |
12167s | uh CNA rush in death Blossom available |
12169s | nothing else but I think before you |
12172s | start to use his ultimates you got to |
12173s | make sure you gotta get lit's face |
12175s | because now that death Blossom comes |
12176s | down he's just gonna hit I mean that is |
12178s | a stationary character he's just gonna |
12179s | land a headshot off |
12181s | there's a sense that the dragons are |
12182s | starting to get a feel for this matchup |
12184s | Matthew afield for the tempo the sparker |
12186s | drumming out |
12187s | giant just going down at the start of |
12189s | the fight is very scary but like he |
12191s | mentioned lift positioning here puts him |
12193s | in a great spot to spot targets and |
12195s | they're easy to pick people up |
12196s | especially shy who want to play away |
12198s | from the main Peloton of his team |
12200s | and Shanghai is not going to bother this |
12202s | right like the the sparkle inside of the |
12204s | saloon like oh yeah we're over player |
12206s | let's go in but they know that Alfie has |
12207s | the death Blossom he's been holding on |
12209s | here for ages usually trying to dive |
12210s | here on lit a lot of pressure on Mick |
12213s | but he's able to find a pocket to work |
12214s | from Lee Jacob gets kicked off I think |
12216s | that railgun might have been meant for |
12217s | Lipton Alfie is going to be able to |
12218s | follow up at the end of it anyway good |
12220s | train of The High Ground any chance for |
12222s | izuyaki to dash away and he'll take it |
12224s | so he does disappears in a papa sucker |
12226s | of blossoms and here come the spark |
12228s | though finally getting back into control |
12230s | looking a little less lethal though |
12232s | against the dragon too and now more |
12235s | acclimated to this pushing pull between |
12237s | these dive cops |
12239s | again interesting Alpha Eve will |
12240s | teleport to towards the uh low ground |
12243s | there so Gucci has the Primal up on top |
12245s | so maybe Alpha you can kind of catch one |
12248s | right as they're gonna try and probably |
12249s | push for this High Ground |
12251s | and Alpha you can get a Kill from |
12252s | underneath |
12254s | always the top one to fight through slow |
12257s | you up but the dragon's out to get a |
12258s | five player sound barrier excuse me for |
12260s | The High Ground denies it for much of |
12262s | the Dragons knocking people away with |
12264s | Primal Italy goes down to shy |
12267s | it's gonna be another notch in the belt |
12268s | for the soldiers from the spark and a |
12270s | key kill to find but fate is able to |
12271s | double up |
12273s | and get the trade at the very least but |
12274s | it's waiting for people to drop down for |
12276s | a Moment Like This here's your death |
12277s | Blossom Miss terun can't quite get away |
12279s | and super Rich's pinned to the woodwork |
12281s | at the top of the saloon the dragons are |
12284s | putting it together right now and the |
12285s | spark are running out of time |
12287s | as the dragons have seen to figure it |
12289s | out here on this point B defense and |
12292s | mixing the the right kind of uh you know |
12294s | times of aggression with knowing when to |
12296s | just now fall for some of the traps laid |
12298s | by the spark is |
12299s | sparked one last attempt here to get the |
12301s | payload moving |
12303s | nine seconds left for this lead take on |
12305s | and gets a little Court here Fate has |
12307s | the double back as the numbers starting |
12308s | to turn against the Shanghai dragons and |
12310s | they get the touch there's no one in the |
12312s | vicinity either how did the dragon slow |
12314s | this down a couple players may be coming |
12315s | off respawn can slow this up for two on |
12317s | the card for that time gives it a huge |
12319s | boost flatter may have to double back |
12321s | and face the music and by music I mean |
12323s | the licking tendrils off the Tesla |
12325s | Cannon Goose way finds but it now wants |
12327s | to chase him down gives him a tase for |
12329s | good luck and izuyaki has to Sousa |
12331s | himself to stay alive with the dragons a |
12334s | key vulnerability exposed there in the |
12336s | the spark get her over the line |
12339s | yeah just like I was uh saving that a |
12342s | lot where they were like oh yeah you |
12343s | know they've done a great job you know |
12345s | knowing when to not fall into some of |
12346s | the traps as they go in deep there to |
12348s | try and get the kill and finish off this |
12350s | map in their favor Shanghai and they end |
12353s | up having two players drop and then he's |
12355s | able to make it all the way around |
12356s | towards that payload now the cart's |
12358s | still moving try a little low there |
12360s | suffering some early pressure in this |
12362s | fight but that card is on the move and |
12363s | here comes a consumer Rush hit him |
12365s | powder a little move feet Fox feet |
12367s | brother and the sparker hustle forward |
12370s | and now that the people I take on off as |
12372s | he tries to retreat good use that |
12373s | ultimate gives him the fight win sound |
12375s | barrier on the horizon as well if the |
12376s | spark on a double down here but so far |
12378s | looks like they're paved the way |
12381s | yeah and they gotta get close to those |
12383s | four doors here Mitch you know they |
12384s | finished in OT the spark trying to |
12387s | finish with some time on the clock they |
12388s | have to be pretty much perfect from here |
12390s | on out no mistakes can be made |
12393s | that's a mistake so they're huge pick |
12395s | off awesome how does that one smell |
12398s | dragons straight up in this small door |
12400s | there and they are denied any access to |
12402s | the rest of the map and the card is |
12404s | gonna get home |
12406s | oh that is massive so they finish with |
12410s | that time they'll have a little bit of |
12411s | an advantage a minute and 16. |
12415s | still giving themselves a chance to |
12418s | finish this one off here |
12421s | you have a little bit more time than the |
12423s | dragons that's massive |
12425s | in fan is that 15 seconds Matt that |
12428s | disappears at the in a puff of smoke |
12429s | very quickly especially if a defending |
12431s | team is able to play forward right for |
12433s | all intents and purposes I'm inclined to |
12435s | put these two teams on even footing in |
12438s | terms of |
12439s | what their aspiration should be in this |
12440s | overtime |
12442s | yeah I mean for a second there it didn't |
12444s | even look like they were going to even |
12445s | be able to finish the map right uh with |
12447s | the way the sparkle looking I I think |
12449s | that extra |
12450s | the time depending on where this like |
12453s | offense ends right the dragons like |
12456s | could be big right like if let's say the |
12458s | dragons end on like the first corner |
12460s | like you know that little bit of extra |
12462s | time is like two spawns right so to |
12464s | speak so like you know in theory you're |
12467s | able to take like fights a little bit |
12468s | faster and maybe have a little bit more |
12470s | uh no of a chance to like brawl out like |
12473s | an overtime scenario uh depending on how |
12475s | far it gets though |
12483s | [Music] |
12490s | he's leading his team in those final |
12492s | blows shy just behind at 14. DPS putting |
12495s | out numbers here for the spark |
12497s | especially in that luck the second half |
12498s | of that previous round so the Dragons |
12500s | It's not a close defense for the spark |
12502s | here |
12503s | this feels like a battle for the |
12505s | soldiers here in OT with how much time |
12507s | is on the clock I don't know and kind of |
12509s | the stakes really a shy versus lit |
12512s | match-up to sit in this map it's fully |
12516s | charged but look at this patience you're |
12517s | waiting on the shot and there it is |
12519s | enough damage on Terry by the looks of |
12521s | things to just explode that kiriko and |
12523s | where's your healing now Hangzhou |
12525s | happy |
12527s | and you're if you're the spark what do |
12528s | you decide to do here you have to |
12530s | they're gonna back up and probably |
12531s | decide to take just one final fight |
12534s | for this checkpoint day as shy comes out |
12537s | tries to just Farm some damage just be |
12538s | so careful flip right around the corner |
12541s | everybody up here damage control for the |
12543s | spot the second piece here it's very |
12545s | doable they have to double down and have |
12547s | a strong showing in this fight though |
12548s | and that's a great start Olympus already |
12551s | shot finds the perfect pick |
12554s | absolutely Mount that one over the |
12555s | mantle |
12557s | and the hung Joy spark put the dragons |
12559s | to bed here setting themselves up for a |
12561s | win condition by no means a sure thing |
12564s | but it's definitely possible now |
12568s | it's it is very possible here for the |
12572s | spark to win this series I mean a 3-0 |
12574s | over the dragons I think you could have |
12576s | predicted in the win but 3-0 is a crazy |
12579s | scenario but I mean what with where the |
12581s | card is Mitch you're you're a uh |
12583s | depending on where they decide to play |
12585s | right like can you afford the play close |
12587s | up here if you're the Shanghai dragons |
12588s | like they did like inside of the the |
12591s | truck I think you probably have to play |
12593s | the corner I mean that's the question do |
12595s | you get a second fight if you do that or |
12597s | it right and if you do play the corner |
12599s | you may not get a second fight |
12600s | especially if uh let's say you kind of |
12602s | have the sojourn take out the Lucio or |
12604s | the grigo up on The High Ground right so |
12606s | what do you do there's probably not a |
12608s | second place |
12609s | uh I I actually think you probably even |
12614s | though it's not great probably have to |
12617s | play the corner I think you can kind of |
12620s | just play this 50 50 game in the corner |
12621s | for a little bit and dwindle some of the |
12623s | clock uh to where let's I think it's |
12626s | just too risky like we've already seen |
12628s | these spark right they played the road |
12630s | hog here at the start they try to get |
12632s | like a hook and a pick really quick like |
12634s | you don't know what they're gonna do |
12635s | right are they gonna play you know are |
12636s | they gonna Sonic this and then hook like |
12638s | is there some other types of shenanigans |
12640s | but Shanghai they're gonna go for this |
12642s | up close so oh up close even if you lose |
12645s | this first fight you're going to get a |
12647s | second one right uh |
12649s | all right let's take the glancing flow |
12652s | early you saw the Hellfire knock down to |
12654s | half who Square wants to be pretty |
12656s | expedient about this |
12658s | pressured by Reaper early back to the |
12660s | safety of The High Ground they can fight |
12661s | but that's huge the Winston is down |
12663s | Super Rich having to run him down with |
12665s | the help of shy it is trying to back |
12667s | terror is missing but you need the |
12669s | damage not so much to Healing right now |
12671s | when you have the advantage in the fight |
12672s | you want to push it and so the spark do |
12674s | flat up Susan for a moment is yaki Falls |
12677s | right in the crosshairs then there's |
12679s | plenty of time for the spark to have all |
12681s | five players ready for this next fight |
12684s | and you're gonna get on top of it girls |
12686s | you're gonna get control of the gas |
12688s | station here where players are going to |
12690s | be walking around this corner right |
12691s | you're going to have that disrupter shot |
12692s | up on The High Ground |
12695s | what could shy do here |
12697s | or is it going to be lift the brakes |
12699s | together I'll be so careful Terror |
12701s | passively as well not going for those |
12704s | Wild Things nearly so much seeing shy |
12706s | out of pressure from fate he tops him up |
12707s | briefly both wins the bubbles used here |
12709s | plenty of charge for the show during |
12711s | players and we're sitting here waiting |
12712s | for an explosive pick that could open |
12714s | this right up flipping very Casey not |
12717s | offering much for himself behind the |
12718s | sign of big girls at all shy Falls to a |
12720s | little reload there fight redirecting |
12722s | the media Terror it's Terror to find the |
12724s | pick on his Yaki the two knives might be |
12726s | Paving the way but Beethoven to take Shy |
12728s | down Alfie is in there they've already |
12730s | got a dead Blossom there's no coming |
12732s | back from that the Shanghai dragons send |
12735s | karini into the lower bracket it's a |
12737s | clean 3-0 for the Hangzhou Spark thank |
12740s | you |
12741s | oh and that is like best case scenario |
12745s | for the spark how they could possibly |
12748s | look and Ascend to the levels that you |
12750s | think with the talent on this team |
12752s | that is like a perfect series from this |
12755s | team and you see kind of like how |
12757s | excited they are to end up winning this |
12759s | one |
12760s | tip underdogs here against the dragons |
12763s | and they take it 3-0 I tell you what I |
12767s | would not want to see this team in the |
12768s | winner bracket you know without no I I |
12771s | think like shy you know you probably |
12773s | favor him against like just about any |
12775s | other soldier in the league at times |
12777s | right uh and then Goose Ray on the |
12779s | Winston I mean especially the way Tara |
12782s | was playing the kariko right like going |
12783s | on these flanks and being able to find |
12785s | these early pick-offs uh that is a |
12787s | dangerous team in the Hangzhou Squad |
12789s | dominant showing especially over the |
12790s | first couple of maps the dragons are an |
12793s | elite team and they're able to begin to |
12796s | adapt but it's not quick enough it's too |
12798s | late and by the time we get down to the |
12800s | meat and potatoes of Route 66 they get |
12803s | cut down and Teru impatiently going for |
12806s | these flanking plays I even outright |
12808s | stated that he looked like he was |
12809s | playing more safe more passive at the |
12811s | start of that last fight I guess I was |
12813s | wrong it wasn't a a headshot kill right |
12816s | off that q9 but still an elimination on |
12818s | the enemy kiriko that's what Terry adds |
12821s | to your team guy who moonlighted as a |
12823s | DPS player for quite some time and very |
12825s | legitimately took games over on his own |
12828s | on a weaker Vancouver Titans such an |
12830s | impressive showing for him and a true |
12832s | weapon at Flex support to be going |
12834s | forward with |
12836s | and what about the dragons they they |
12839s | come in as the fifth seed right top four |
12842s | overall seeds get a buy uh you know |
12845s | you're one spot off of not even being in |
12847s | this match and you end up losing it 3-0 |
12849s | now you go down to you if you're trying |
12851s | to make it back to the finals here if |
12854s | you're the Shanghai dragons you |
12855s | literally have the longest road to get |
12858s | there uh it is going to be have to be an |
12861s | epic run back you're right man no more |
12864s | second chances for our reigning |
12865s | OverWatch League champions they fight |
12867s | for survival in the lower bracket from |
12869s | here on out that's what player of the |
12871s | match here Matthew it's gonna be the one |
12873s | the only the Primal plays Goose way much |
12876s | harder for him to get value out of the |
12877s | uh you know the Primal uh rage on that |
12879s | last lap of Route 66 but man where the |
12882s | map allows for him to Corner players in |
12884s | rooms like this he's coming out with a |
12886s | disgusting disorder disproportionate |
12889s | amount of kills |
12890s | [Music] |
12892s | it is so good to see douche on the |
12895s | Winston man uh you think back to like |
12897s | OverWatch World Cup you know previous |
12899s | iterations of the hung 2017. like like |
12902s | this is this is his thing man like he he |
12905s | just has the mechanics on Winston uh |
12908s | nailed down so good that he's able to |
12911s | come in and take over a series here |
12912s | against the Shanghai dragons where you |
12915s | looked at these two teams and you're |
12916s | like hey like how is fate going to play |
12918s | this aggressive style of play that it |
12920s | looks like this meta is dictating and he |
12922s | was not able to play at that same Pace |
12923s | with that same level of aggression as |
12925s | gooshway and Goose were able to come up |
12927s | look at that Primal Rage kills per 10 |
12929s | minutes I mean three and that is that is |
12931s | a high number for that ultimate and I |
12932s | want to remind you something I touched |
12934s | on at the top of the game who's right |
12936s | came into this series with the lowest |
12938s | number of deaths per 10 at 4.3 so he's |
12941s | coming well in under his average now |
12943s | it's a different metagame but it's one |
12944s | that still features Reaper so the fact |
12946s | that he's able to stay alive as as long |
12948s | as he does is absurd incredible play for |
12952s | the spark who now really I mean okay |
12954s | sure man you get less of alpha Yi maybe |
12956s | showing a bit more of his hero pull here |
12958s | right I think if you're consigned to |
12959s | that Reaper Duty you're definitely |
12960s | expected to be you know having |
12962s | consistent output without these sort of |
12963s | gigantic picks but their team is really |
12966s | well suited for this meta game the time |
12968s | is right for the Hangzhou Spike to make |
12969s | a deep run here Matt I don't want to be |
12971s | picking them in this upper bracket at |
12973s | all if I'm the collabs I might be stuck |
12975s | with them at this stage oh yeah I mean I |
12978s | I would not want to be picking that team |
12979s | to go up against because |
12982s | they're they're so dangerous because of |
12984s | the individual skill that each of those |
12986s | players has and you know obviously you |
12988s | see when the teamwork kind of comes |
12990s | together and you know they hit some of |
12992s | their highest up high it's like how |
12994s | scary they can be I'll also say like if |
12997s | you're the dragons like what what is the |
12999s | Outlook now I mean you end up losing 3-0 |
13002s | to the 12th seed although they don't |
13004s | look like a 12 seed in this kind of |
13005s | version The Meta and now you're down |
13007s | there having to battle through all of |
13009s | those teams through the rest of the week |
13011s | uh you put yourself in such a terrible |
13014s | scenario here you said it yourself what |
13016s | does this team look like if lip isn't |
13019s | putting this insane sojourn performance |
13021s | table if you're a dragon's player or fan |
13023s | you'd better hope you don't find out |
13025s | stick around everybody more playoff |
13026s | action coming at you live from the |
13028s | Anaheim Convention Center as our first |
13030s | day of OverWatch League playoffs for |
13031s | 2022 kicks off where the bank's been |
13033s | great so far and there's plenty more |
13035s | goodness to come |
13038s | the OverWatch league is brought to you |
13039s | by Butterfinger crispity crunchy peanut |

13274s | [Music] |
13284s | [Music] |
13292s | spark so first of all of course |
13295s | congratulations to your Victory against |
13298s | the Shanghai dragons and yeah let's Dive |
13301s | Right In there because you and your team |
13303s | you were considered the underdog heading |
13305s | into this match but not just into this |
13307s | match I dare say into the entirety of |
13310s | the playoffs as well do you think that |
13311s | label is still Justified |
13314s | foreign |
13355s | uh I think it's quite natural that |
13357s | people think that we're on the door |
13359s | because we didn't do well we didn't do |
13361s | well in the previous two stages however |
13364s | after coming to La we also on the |
13368s | beginning of the training we didn't do |
13371s | quite well on screens but good food days |
13373s | we have made progress and we have become |
13375s | better yeah and that's it all right well |
13378s | on that note I wanted to ask you guys |
13379s | it's a good metaphor you swear on |
13381s | Winston do you think this is a good meta |
13383s | and for that reason do you think you |
13385s | have a good chance of making it deep in |
13386s | the playoffs |
13388s | foreign |
13415s | [Music] |
13416s | uh yes we do think it's a good meta for |
13419s | our team because most of our players are |
13422s | playing the heroes that they are good |
13424s | they are good at and they have they have |
13426s | confidence in for example Winston and |
13429s | shy is playing sojan and Teru is playing |
13431s | kiriko so I do think that we will go |
13434s | further in these playoffs |
13437s | right on thank you so much guys best of |
13439s | luck in your next match and we are now |
13443s | going to dissect this match we just saw |
13445s | 3-0 for the spark not really a result |
13448s | that any of us expected but let's be |
13451s | real everyone at home |
13452s | I think most of your brackets brackets |
13454s | are busted we're in trouble I I do not |
13456s | think that there is more than well maybe |
13458s | five percent out there we still have a |
13460s | perfect bracket there's no way there's |
13463s | no one who tweets at us just like you |
13464s | guys were wrong well if we're all wrong |
13467s | exactly I feel like if everyone is wrong |
13470s | at the same time then we're kind of all |
13472s | correct this sounds like denial |
13475s | it is and I'm very good at it too uh |
13478s | however I do want to talk about the |
13480s | match and how the spark got it done |
13481s | there were so many standout performances |
13483s | by individuals and the team as a whole |
13485s | of course yeah and it's interesting |
13487s | hearing from gooseway as you just said |
13488s | they are on their comfort Heroes this |
13491s | should be a very good meta for that and |
13493s | they showed that in this match Goose way |
13495s | back into Prime 2019 Winston form which |
13498s | is creating so much space we talked |
13500s | about it in the last game break about |
13501s | how important it is to dictate the floor |
13503s | of the game and Goose way does that |
13505s | perfectly and that really enables Alpha |
13507s | Yi and shy to just get in there and get |
13509s | picks and shy on the sojourn doing what |
13512s | we know can do on land once again yeah I |
13515s | think this is really what you're able to |
13517s | see as well when you have a Winston that |
13518s | trusts his kiriko as well diving in |
13520s | utilizing the invulnerability of course |
13523s | to protect the winds and really make |
13524s | Gucci feel comfortable like just compare |
13526s | the proactiveness of gushway being able |
13529s | to dive in being able to be aggressive |
13531s | and confident without feeling like you |
13533s | have to steer clear of the action stay |
13535s | away from the Reapers because you know |
13537s | that the healing is going to be there |
13539s | also the Primal Primal blade mechanics |
13542s | usually he's back in many ways he was |
13545s | he's playing some of the best OverWatch |
13546s | he's done since 2019 World Cup and I |
13549s | mean what an amazing story for this guy |
13550s | I think we'd all agree that so far this |
13552s | year he said a bit of a Down year |
13554s | usually hadn't looked like the best tank |
13556s | on hydro sport many times that was |
13557s | Bernard instead who was playing the off |
13559s | tank Heroes like Soria for example well |
13561s | usually he's coming in clutch here for |
13562s | the playoffs in Hangtown spark an |
13564s | amazing 3-0 Victory against Dragon I |
13566s | also want to give a special shout out to |
13568s | Terry gushue saying that it is his |
13570s | signature hero apparently so apparently |
13572s | he is a signature kiriko now but really |
13574s | the surgeon had to head was the defining |
13576s | factor of this match lip tried his |
13578s | darndest it's right so hard all the |
13580s | Shanghai dragons back into this match |
13582s | even in a 3-0 sweep lip managed to keep |
13585s | it close but shy was doing shy things |
13588s | look at those numbers almost 10 000 |
13590s | damage per 10 minutes he was dying from |
13592s | time to time that's just the sheer |
13594s | pressure that you get in this meta but |
13596s | just doing it once again can the |
13598s | hongzhou spark another International |
13601s | miraculous run it's entirely possible |
13604s | they can yeah I'm looking forward to it |
13606s | I mean after that performance yes I |
13609s | don't want to like be fooled but you |
13611s | gotta give him credits oh yeah so so but |
13614s | I I do want to say that I felt like both |
13616s | teams felt comfortable with the meta so |
13619s | I am interested to see what they have in |
13621s | store for us moving forward how how |
13623s | different was this match compared to the |
13626s | first one in terms of how the meta is |
13627s | being played well the matter as in terms |
13630s | of the heroes that are being played is |
13631s | almost identical we're going to see a |
13633s | lot of that throughout this entire |
13635s | playoffs but I think the tempo was the |
13637s | thing that sort of caught me off guard |
13638s | and this hot spark you know to talk |
13640s | negatively about the Shanghai dragons |
13641s | Unfortunately they did a great job of |
13643s | making fletter feel uncomfortable all |
13645s | the time every time Fletcher forced |
13647s | wraith they were chasing him down every |
13649s | time he got out of position they were |
13650s | forcing him same thing with fate so I |
13653s | think the tempo and the way that the |
13654s | Hong Kong spark were reacting to what |
13656s | the Shanghai dragons were doing was |
13657s | better than we've seen in previous in |
13659s | the previous Series so I think the spark |
13661s | are a team to be feared but also if |
13662s | you're on the lower bracket Shanghai |
13663s | dragons are no joke that's going to be a |
13665s | difficult team to face down not unfair |
13668s | imagine facing off against the dragons |
13670s | in the lower bracket well that's nice |
13672s | I'm in danger |
13674s | uh now we got another Banger match |
13676s | coming up of course we're gonna preview |
13678s | that in just a second Atlanta Reign |
13680s | going up against Florida Mayhem but |
13682s | first we want to take a look at a |
13684s | leveling up presented by Butterfinger |
13686s | which of these players has to Step It Up |
13688s | In This Very match well funnily enough |
13691s | ironically enough hydron could take it |
13693s | to the next level he's already pretty |
13696s | high he is pretty high hydron has some |
13698s | of the most ridiculous Soldier |
13699s | statistics in the entire league and I |
13701s | believe he leads as well in first |
13703s | elimination rate when it comes to the |
13704s | soldier being able to find that pick and |
13706s | pick fights five versus four if we take |
13708s | a look at hydron Stats so far as soldier |
13710s | in the countdown Cup this was a stage |
13712s | prior going into the playoffs of course |
13713s | 11.6 final goals for 10 minutes 2.3 |
13716s | overclock kills for 10 minutes eight |
13718s | charge shot kills per 10 minutes he has |
13721s | an absolute Menace with the railgun and |
13723s | if he is able to come into this matchup |
13725s | against a favorite Atlanta reign with |
13727s | someone like Kai for example Kai Hale is |
13730s | one of the best soldiers one of the best |
13731s | long-range hits campers in the entire |
13733s | game this is hydron's opportunity to |
13735s | take good statistics good performances |
13737s | in the regular season but really take it |
13740s | to the next level against some of the |
13741s | very best here in the playoffs the big |
13742s | question is what type of form is cayenne |
13745s | because we it doesn't feel like we've |
13746s | seen him much at all as of recently as |
13748s | ever since speedily came into this |
13750s | lineup they've really been relying on |
13751s | him to be that play it but now you can |
13753s | pair almost both of them up you are Kai |
13755s | on that sojourn speedily on that Reaper |
13757s | that is going to be a scary matchup for |
13759s | the Florida Mayhem to deal with but the |
13761s | big story for me with the Atlanta Reign |
13763s | is what tank are we going to see |
13764s | obviously Hawk has been the Mainstay for |
13767s | this team throughout the entirety of |
13768s | this year being very flexible on that |
13770s | Diva the doomfist honestly anything |
13772s | they've required from him but Gator is |
13775s | the Winston player is he going to come |
13777s | in to play his signature hero or are |
13778s | they going to try and rely on Hawk to |
13780s | play it |
13781s | yeah yeah |
13782s | gonna find out in just a little bit but |
13784s | first I mean you just announced the |
13786s | Atlanta reign as the I guess |
13789s | are they the favorite in that match you |
13791s | think there's a higher seed they're |
13794s | famous |
13794s | I can't wait to see our objectives over |
13797s | that one because for me this was a |
13799s | heartbreaker ISD the ultimate the |
13801s | thunder rain fine girl I agree with you |
13803s | you have to go against oh my that's |
13806s | right we went for Florida uh yes they |
13810s | dragged me out of the bottom of the |
13812s | pickets like they so did Atlanta |
13817s | last year they did this year not so much |
13819s | guys so with a heavy heart I had to pick |
13822s | the Mayhem and a lot of that is based on |
13824s | hydrants insane performance on that |
13826s | Soldier and he's been such a playmaker |
13828s | for that team that but also the big |
13830s | question for the Atlanta Reign |
13831s | throughout the rest of the playoffs how |
13833s | is Hawk going to play this Winston Hawk |
13836s | known for being a diva player he's |
13838s | played some doomfist earlier this year |
13839s | but Gator their main tank player Winston |
13842s | reinert haven't had that much play time |
13844s | so how will the Atlanta terrain adjust |
13846s | to a Winston meta throw the name on the |
13848s | other hand someone statistically leads |
13850s | eliminations funnel votes for 10 minutes |
13852s | throughout the regular season so Florida |
13854s | Mayhem they have an amazing Winston in |
13857s | their pocket and they're ready to go in |
13858s | this matter the Atlanta Reign more |
13860s | questions great damage great support but |
13862s | what about this tank roll what are they |
13863s | going to look like when they play |
13864s | Winston in this match yeah and I'd love |
13866s | for them to convince me uh and and make |
13869s | I I want to be wrong yeah I want to be |
13871s | proven wrong I want to be right please |
13875s | all right well we all have different |
13877s | goals here on the desk however we are |
13879s | ready for this match and for all the |
13881s | action we're going to toss it over to |
13882s | Admiral and kellyos |
13890s | thank you very much Zoe and the rest of |
13892s | the desk and hello to all of you lovely |
13895s | viewers I'm Achilles here alongside |
13898s | Avril we'll be getting you through the |
13899s | final two matches of our first day of |
13901s | the playoffs everybody give a nice |
13904s | little congratulations to Avril on his |
13906s | first proper uh in a postseason series |
13908s | that he's going to be casting here with |
13910s | me it's gonna be uh Good Times we'll go |
13912s | ahead break the mold a little bit more |
13914s | here we'll see what happens between |
13915s | these two squads we have the Florida |
13917s | Mayhem going up against the Atlanta |
13918s | Reigns already |
13920s | some unexpected results we could say I |
13922s | guess yeah look first of all first of |
13924s | all thank you for that and also you know |
13926s | when a cast is now so we're getting all |
13927s | going to the na cards here Florida |
13928s | versus Atlanta hey let's do it I'm into |
13931s | it I'm ready for it uh apparently what |
13933s | was the stat again set that was like 20 |
13935s | brackets left out of all the pickups |
13938s | brackets there's only 20 left as said by |
13941s | Sean Miller that are still perfectly |
13943s | eligible for that 100K prize they either |
13946s | just picked on based on their favorite |
13948s | color or they flipped some coins I don't |
13949s | know Seth but what a crazy start already |
13952s | only 20 people left |
13954s | I think they consulted the Ouija boards |
13956s | and they were just communing with demons |
13958s | and what not to be able to get the the |
13959s | results correctly and if anybody think |
13961s | that we should obviously double it at |
13962s | this point so shocking the uh the |
13966s | OverWatch League don't 3-0 game right |
13968s | now is set to Insane Mode because no |
13970s | one's been able to pass that maybe in |
13972s | this series of two teams that are ever |
13973s | so familiar with each other perhaps we |
13976s | can actually have a series uh between |
13977s | the two of them rather than a 3-0 |
13979s | blowout but we'll have to just wait and |
13981s | see what happens I mean look I think the |
13983s | disc said it as well it's like |
13985s | you have Atlanta who has been generally |
13988s | speaking a much better team over the |
13989s | course of the Season Florida have had |
13990s | the highs and lows uh they come in as a |
13992s | play-ins team there was a little bit of |
13994s | snippet as off you've been through |
13995s | Twitter uh gumbo as a interview where |
13998s | he's basically saying like Florida have |
14000s | not had a lot of time to scrim on the |
14002s | current uh playoffs patch right they |
14004s | were on a different patch for play-ins |
14006s | and so they had to prep differently and |
14008s | alongside Toronto you know it's been |
14009s | quite limiting for them so they come in |
14011s | maybe slightly less prepared than the |
14012s | other playoffs teams who have been on |
14014s | this current uh kariko patch with this |
14017s | you know the zarya Nerfs Etc uh Florida |
14019s | I definitely have a bit of an uphill |
14021s | battle ahead of them but I think they're |
14022s | one of the teams that you really look at |
14025s | with uh you know |
14027s | as a potential Dark Horse at this |
14029s | tournament because they had such a good |
14030s | shelling in the planes |
14032s | yeah |
14033s | well let's go ahead and bring out the |
14035s | first team to the battle |
14037s | they're going to be able to come out on |
14039s | top there from the desk it's hard to |
14042s | call who is really the underdog in this |
14045s | matchup brain coming in as a higher seat |
14048s | but Florida have been looking absolutely |
14049s | impeccable as of late so there's |
14052s | definitely no rest to be found for the |
14055s | side of the rain they need to be |
14057s | prepared for the Florida man and this is |
14060s | you know based on what we've seen the |
14061s | matter as well you know Checkmate is in |
14064s | play-ins was this fantastic Genji play |
14066s | he's gonna have to shift over towards |
14067s | that Reaper position now so you know |
14070s | maybe the Hard cap on how much he can |
14072s | carry is potentially there I mean the |
14073s | the main DPS we're gonna be looking is |
14075s | hydron who has taken over XE on that hit |
14078s | scan position on that surgeon and was a |
14080s | driving force for that success that we |
14082s | saw in the plane so I think someone's a |
14083s | very flexible player he's only moving |
14085s | over towards the Winston probably uh I |
14087s | would what I say it's a for me he's |
14089s | actually performing Rings really well in |
14091s | so many different tank picks now that's |
14093s | uh you know being one of the most |
14094s | flexible tanks in the league originally |
14096s | I would have said yeah I mean Winston |
14097s | probably is one of his top heroes uh |
14100s | even across his hero pool so that's |
14102s | probably a good thing for the former him |
14103s | overall |
14105s | well we're talking about here at pools |
14107s | we're talking about Winston's let's see |
14108s | what's gonna happen as we bring out the |
14110s | Atlanta rain there's a lot of questions |
14112s | around who is going to be playing this |
14114s | do we see The Return of Gator is it just |
14115s | gonna be Hawk who is very much just |
14118s | locked down that position for himself we |
14120s | will find out as they make their way out |
14122s | onto the stage and he Crocs now I'm |
14124s | seeing Hulk okay I'm also seeing UV |
14127s | coming through as well so |
14130s | here's that next one might be OG speedly |
14132s | is in next to Kai okay so no Venom I |
14134s | think we may have been right looking |
14136s | forward to maybe a bit of Venom here as |
14138s | well you can't play that Reaper Tracer |
14140s | is a potential pick for certain teams as |
14142s | well uh but they're gonna go with speed |
14144s | lease here but which actually opens up |
14145s | the echo pick that's something I'm going |
14147s | to be very interested in seeing like is |
14148s | that going to be something that the rain |
14150s | fall through |
14151s | um you know it's still mostly Reaper and |
14154s | sojourner's VPS too but I don't think |
14156s | it's impossible to try some other Heroes |
14158s | here as well uh Ochi plus UV combo it |
14161s | could have been OG with vigilante as |
14163s | well but the choice here has gone with |
14164s | UV for the kariko so that would be |
14166s | really interesting we do expect OG to be |
14168s | in here for mucho obviously and the tank |
14170s | position I think is was the other one |
14171s | that was very contentious right are we |
14173s | going to see Gator it's going to be Hawk |
14174s | most teams uh pretty much every single |
14176s | team actually is playing the Winston how |
14178s | good is Hawks Winston are they gonna |
14179s | play Winston is it gonna be something |
14181s | else to say |
14183s | uh yeah I mean lots of questions still |
14185s | very much unanswered I mean we know |
14187s | who's going to be starting here but if |
14188s | he comes out with the Winston it seems |
14189s | like Lorraine are going to have a lot of |
14191s | pain in Hawks performances on that hero |
14194s | we're just gonna have to wait and see |
14195s | how it does look gator in all likelihood |
14197s | you would anticipate is going to be |
14199s | waiting in the wings |
14200s | um it's just a question of whether or |
14201s | not we get to to see him because if Hulk |
14203s | comes out here and he is able to step to |
14205s | someone really good toe-to-toe with him |
14206s | then I I see no reason honestly to make |
14208s | it to make a swap because you always |
14211s | have that added depth with Hawk in this |
14214s | role when he's playing that if they need |
14216s | to swap for a certain point or to |
14218s | counter something that maybe Florida's |
14220s | bringing out there's a little bit |
14221s | unanticipated he's going to be good for |
14223s | it I think this is one of those things |
14224s | where like if you're Florida you're |
14225s | pretty happy with this matchup generally |
14227s | speaking you have someone who's good at |
14229s | Winston that's one of his ski Heroes um |
14231s | Hawk has far less practice on the |
14232s | Winston and even look at statistics |
14234s | right Hulk despite having played here's |
14236s | the thing about Hulk and Gainer Hulk has |
14238s | played 91.6 of all of Atlanta Reigns |
14241s | games this year over 10 times as much as |
14243s | Gator so on one hand you'll get his |
14245s | hero4 the Hawks played 90 of the game so |
14247s | he's been your dude for pretty much the |
14249s | entire year first map choice is going to |
14250s | come through for Legion Tower |
14253s | um and you know the thing at the back of |
14256s | my mind is if you're a hawk right now |
14258s | what is what are your options are we |
14260s | going to potentially see something like |
14262s | even uh an Orissa or a doom Hawks |
14266s | obviously played a lot of Doom this |
14267s | season I think control center might open |
14270s | up for oh do I even call it cheese like |
14272s | something like an original on there uh |
14274s | that or he's just got a one trick |
14275s | through the winter like everybody else |
14276s | we know Florida probably is just going |
14278s | to one trip through that Winston though |
14281s | well we'll see what happens it's gonna |
14283s | be lijon Tower to kick things off in |
14285s | this series as with the previous two the |
14287s | loser will then select where they want |
14289s | to take us we will have hybrid then |
14291s | escort push etc etc lined up hopefully |
14294s | we can make it this time around to a |
14296s | push map not have a 3-0 blowout that's |
14299s | what I'm keeping my fingers crossed for |
14300s | here ladies and gentlemen my breads are |
14301s | already boom so from here on I am just |
14303s | cheering for some damn good OverWatch |
14305s | League playoffs so we'll go ahead and |
14307s | kick things off in this third series of |
14310s | the evening as we jump into Night Market |
14312s | there it is I lost many of these two |
14314s | teams in week 23 3-2 victory for Atlanta |
14316s | rain but that wasn't the only time that |
14318s | rain had beaten the Mayhem they've had |
14319s | like what four straight wins this entire |
14321s | year they beat the Mayhem Mayhem haven't |
14323s | taken down the rain a single time in |
14325s | 2022 and now we're in the playoffs when |
14328s | the business end of the entire season |
14330s | what a time it would be for an upset |
14331s | fare from the Florida Mayhem we've |
14333s | already had a couple of those today at |
14335s | least one of them here we go rolling |
14336s | through |
14337s | gates open for map number one in this |
14340s | series and it is going to be so hard |
14341s | mirror on both sides questions answered |
14343s | Hawk on that Winston like I said |
14346s | all right now it's all about putting it |
14348s | to practice let's see how it looks first |
14350s | and foremost it down hydrogen find him |
14353s | is that maid coming out puts you around |
14354s | the corner quick little shot to the Head |
14356s | Hawk gets taken down the Florida Mayhem |
14358s | pick things off with a bang two kills |
14360s | nearly a third found a speedily as |
14362s | narrow release their life a little bit |
14363s | longer but I've been able to claim him |
14364s | in the end getting himself a second |
14365s | elimination for the Mayhem still playing |
14367s | forward someone down 19 HP does end up |
14369s | dying the point's still not locked down |
14371s | now Atlanta rain have a potential |
14372s | opportunity to get in the contestant but |
14374s | the initial lockdown will be there |
14375s | someone really caught that and lands the |
14377s | rain pounds they have the player |
14378s | Advantage now despite formatting having |
14380s | the initial count with hydron down and |
14382s | by the way was three on three final |
14383s | blows to the team it's looking quite |
14385s | difficult here |
14388s | it's not great here gonna be a fast flip |
14391s | back into the paper the Atlanta ran a |
14392s | bit of an overstay from someone lost |
14394s | some dearly shades of Shanghai dragons |
14395s | there in Route 66 pushing forward and |
14397s | then suddenly the car gets taken from |
14399s | behind them but here we go fast foot |
14401s | rain gonna be poised to go ahead and |
14402s | take the lead here ultraviolet yeah like |
14404s | the first ultim online very soon as well |
14406s | after one neutral shoot he's just coming |
14407s | through almost straight away |
14409s | someone does they only have a primal |
14410s | online though I don't think the time is |
14412s | gonna work hell what a shot from a hydro |
14413s | that removes the katuna rush |
14415s | that it does takes him out of the frame |
14417s | kite circum has to circumnavigate back |
14420s | around the front in fact just really |
14421s | stay over there because the rest of the |
14423s | team does get cleaned up with him out of |
14424s | the action huge pick comes through |
14426s | that's gonna be Florida Mayhem just as |
14428s | quickly regaining control I mean that is |
14430s | game change that is a fight turning shot |
14433s | coming through from hydron UV had a |
14435s | katuna rush just before RuPaul did in |
14437s | this sort of meta the tempo counts the |
14438s | first person the first play in the |
14440s | kariko two get that ultimate to put it |
14441s | through makes a big difference Here |
14443s | Comes Ruby now |
14447s | trying to get well out of there but he |
14449s | cannot they all pursue forward find the |
14451s | elimination he gets taken down it's |
14452s | gonna be the death Blossom out of the |
14454s | equation for now but Ivan again with |
14455s | another shot takes Kai out great |
14457s | headshot rail claims him overclock is |
14459s | popped he's looking for a little bit |
14460s | more so the Skybox goes talk comes |
14463s | dropping back down now has the Primal |
14464s | rolling overclock going to be expiring |
14466s | but no one really being taken low at all |
14468s | on the side of the floor made of him now |
14469s | they have that shielding as well as Hawk |
14472s | will get claimed push around the front |
14474s | they're looking for some staggers |
14475s | getting ready to push up over 60 now |
14477s | speedily pulls the trigger manages to |
14479s | find two someone taking down the analog |
14480s | to the death Blossom look at the tree |
14482s | this one back into their favor now off |
14484s | in a bad spot but still gets the |
14485s | headshot of ultra violet yep still |
14487s | keeping the game alive and how to kill |
14489s | the kai here as well |
14490s | Atlanta rain I have to flip back in that |
14493s | control solo members though before the |
14495s | Mayhem can't bring spawners they have |
14496s | the angles to work through we get rain |
14498s | backing out forgive that Captain |
14502s | there's only gonna be a couple people |
14503s | from the side of the rain keeping this |
14505s | contested for now you can see the rage |
14506s | Walkers inching back and forth not to |
14507s | the point they're trying to not |
14508s | surrender this slip over they know they |
14509s | need to take this one close but in fact |
14511s | it is going to be snapped up now that |
14512s | Blossom goes in off the side of the map |
14514s | goes Hawk and Checkmate claims too he's |
14516s | got the TP showing off a little bit here |
14518s | as the whole team kill comes to fruition |
14520s | for the Florida Mayhem now at 80 percent |
14523s | you can see the speed in this game here |
14525s | as well where neither team really wants |
14526s | to give up too much ground Florida |
14528s | Mayhem might lose a couple members they |
14529s | stay in someone who's Primal next fight |
14531s | land to rain they'll lose a few they |
14533s | stay on the outskirts of the points |
14534s | they'll try to keep it alive as we head |
14535s | to final fight territory from now RuPaul |
14537s | the probably the map winning the round |
14539s | winning ultimate available both teams |
14540s | actually have now katsuna Rush should |
14542s | see this one overlapped |
14545s | Italy arrives |
14547s | gonna be thinking down Hawkins on top of |
14549s | him and that is a prime target now the |
14550s | beat gonna be layered in as well and I'm |
14552s | nearly his one of his own but losing two |
14554s | people gonna be best to just hold on to |
14556s | it and go for the next fight flip is |
14558s | there Atlanta rain get a second lease |
14560s | online but they're only at 50 animal 90 |
14562s | six percent unfortunate four percent |
14564s | away from use to soundbarrow to save his |
14566s | team what you see here twice in a row |
14567s | not quite in the road but definitely |
14568s | twice to find The Rounders both the UV |
14570s | and OG pop in that casino Rush plus |
14572s | sound barrier as a combo double support |
14574s | ultimates overlaid the first of the |
14577s | first time we saw RuPaul didn't even get |
14579s | a chance to use his ultimate here |
14580s | Groupon doesn't just use the general |
14581s | Rush thanks for soundbarrow emoji is too |
14583s | much |
14584s | all right there's the overclock it's |
14587s | quite a bit of damage layered in South |
14588s | barrier now drop Hawk the first one to |
14590s | fall Checkmate if we get on top of him |
14592s | and with him come on now Kai taken down |
14594s | as well that will just be the flip back |
14596s | into their favor as well as the closeout |
14598s | Florida Mayhem they take night market |
14600s | for themselves 175 percent |
14603s | one and I think Hall goes down at uh the |
14605s | mid 90s there as well so very close |
14608s | margins for a lot of these players in |
14610s | several fights where you know several |
14612s | percentage differences is everything |
14614s | Hawk doesn't have Primal there |
14616s | Flora mayhem get to come back in they're |
14617s | already at 99 animal held on to that |
14619s | extra sound barrier after not having in |
14621s | a previous fight |
14622s | I get to walk on through hydron you have |
14625s | to talk about this guy hard carrying on |
14627s | the soldier right now this is their |
14629s | checkmates uh Jeff Watson with their key |
14632s | details in there as well |
14633s | use you on top of them to make sure that |
14635s | he can't uh you know be killed inside of |
14637s | it then obviously he gets away with his |
14639s | life |
14640s | running a round of uh kills there coming |
14643s | through from Florida Mayhem stat wise |
14645s | though I don't even know if we're gonna |
14646s | have time to get okay |
14648s | so far this is Hulk come out of Orion |
14650s | with speedly on a bash so you want to |
14653s | see something that's not the Winston Cup |
14654s | you want to see something off middle |
14655s | when we got one |
14657s | uh yeah okay changing things up in a big |
14659s | way looking for some targets though so |
14661s | far is really struggling to fight and he |
14663s | found these to park everyone's been |
14665s | piloting around him relatively well |
14666s | Checkmate however does get left out into |
14668s | the open the hawk is able to go ahead |
14669s | and Swing Swing the hammer away to get |
14670s | some kills |
14672s | bounces in the nade some extra damage |
14675s | and for now will be the Atlanta Reign |
14676s | I'm not having the first point you can |
14677s | see Florida Mayhem pulling back if you |
14679s | want to if you want a way to shut down a |
14680s | Winston and really burn him through |
14682s | Wheels mode on The Bash and there's one |
14684s | way to do it someone goes up towards the |
14685s | Arista now so let's say maybe we can see |
14687s | a bit of erisa today thought that might |
14688s | come from the Atlanta red will come |
14690s | through from the Florida Mayhem instead |
14692s | so it's gonna be more of like I guess if |
14694s | we're all match up now speedly is still |
14696s | a problem Shield |
14703s | so far he's still going to be saved |
14705s | Speer does connect on a hawk you beats |
14707s | ultimate at about half HP would have |
14709s | made him in the meantime they've |
14710s | actually gotten a flip here they managed |
14711s | to get a bit of a back cap just drawing |
14713s | all that attention toward the Forefront |
14714s | towards that alrissa and take control |
14715s | now it's going to be at the Atlanta |
14717s | Ranger to put this back for their favor |
14718s | so it's good look at this on the board |
14720s | of Mayhem back into the yeah back in the |
14722s | third form she's looking to mow them |
14723s | down someone taking a beating goes lower |
14725s | and lower and eventually will get |
14727s | finished off sound barrier dropped in by |
14729s | Og at the same time very shielding keep |
14731s | everybody nice and protected hydrant's |
14733s | still gonna be able to find one but |
14734s | that's about it then commit the |
14736s | overclock to the fight they only get the |
14737s | Bastion brain in the meantime they |
14739s | re-flip and they didn't even lose the |
14740s | lead and Florida Mayhem was so close to |
14743s | continuing that fight as well Adam on |
14744s | RuPaul both looking towards the |
14745s | ultimates but it's a katuna Russian |
14747s | combination with speedly going towards |
14750s | the you know the the turret form it's |
14752s | just so fast there's so much damage |
14753s | before they have to run away artillery |
14755s | out now probably won't hit anybody |
14760s | yeah a little bit of damage there onto |
14762s | someone who hits the floor off the |
14764s | shatter and Hawk claims him with a |
14765s | buyer's strike cleans him up please |
14767s | dealt with Checkmate able to get on top |
14769s | of the Rhine finds that elimination but |
14770s | then is dealt with by ultraviolet a |
14772s | great headshot coming through kind of |
14773s | the overclock plans hydron with one of |
14774s | his own looks for anamo takes him lower |
14776s | and lower pushed over the side but but |
14778s | if he gets the kill or doesn't doesn't |
14780s | really matter because the fight is |
14781s | already won someone being hit there no |
14783s | four to five RuPaul could save him in |
14785s | time with two Hawk now back on a |
14786s | doomfist an Atlanta Reigns facing there |
14788s | and disengage was so beautifully played |
14790s | they just go back in towards the white |
14791s | room floor to make him try to push up |
14793s | Kai gets really hot behind Hawk Shield |
14795s | just cleans up the floor to make him who |
14797s | are looking for opportunities |
14801s | but how do they close the gap |
14804s | realize Hawk back on the news now I'm |
14807s | dying on the line one of the rejoins |
14808s | quickly hit the fight was extended grabs |
14810s | them all together looking for the |
14812s | elimination speedly gonna be taking down |
14813s | a Checkmate actually doesn't pull the |
14814s | trigger on this death Blossom yet |
14816s | continues to hold it 95 established for |
14818s | the side of the rain Hawk gonna be taken |
14820s | down and that should be the window of |
14821s | opportunity for Florida regain some |
14823s | sequence of control a little bit of OT |
14826s | Force output though G dying that will |
14828s | just go ahead and be the flip but it's a |
14829s | long road now Florida want to take this |
14831s | 2-0 and if actually has to come down to |
14833s | Checkmate getting something done here |
14834s | maybe they have to get a spare off the |
14836s | side of the map for environmental kill |
14837s | because otherwise we're seeing UV coming |
14839s | through the consuming Rush oh she's |
14840s | about to drop that beat again it's the |
14841s | same combo we sold all overnight Market |
14843s | Casino Rush plus sound battery at the |
14845s | same time |
14846s | we're just waiting for UV to get it hold |
14847s | back on a Winston they can just play |
14849s | through normally |
14851s | dive into the back line ultraviolet |
14853s | trying to go for it but he gets pushed |
14855s | on the side of |
14857s | the map off the side by someone charges |
14858s | him in with the spear finds the |
14860s | elimination under the overclock as well |
14864s | damage dealers dealt with that will be |
14867s | them maintaining control just holding |
14868s | the bridge I mean the play getting |
14870s | pooped off you can't really help there |
14871s | but you know the rest of the team begins |
14872s | to walk up with a katuna Rush full green |
14875s | HP off the sound barrier you're already |
14876s | 99 that would have been a win condition |
14878s | for sure now Animo also has that little |
14880s | forward kitchen Rush |
14883s | Rush does come out salvary dropped by Og |
14885s | and Alma now gonna be using one of his |
14886s | own Hawk already gonna be taking it down |
14888s | they've just melt through that Lucio |
14889s | shielding so very quickly two off the |
14892s | side of the map for a fast reset here |
14894s | and yeah they need to do it quickly 18 |
14895s | left to go for the Florida Mayhem to be |
14897s | able to take this I mean no race also an |
14899s | ultimate to work through kayak needs |
14900s | this overclocked very fast Speedy's gone |
14902s | over towards the trace Just a Touch he's |
14904s | gonna have someone and chicken with |
14905s | ultimates I mean these are really good |
14906s | ultimates but defending a point when |
14908s | it's last fight Atlanta right have to |
14909s | come in touch and the terror Surge and |
14911s | the death |
14914s | yep they take him down the healing very |
14916s | much mitigated now his ultravines the |
14918s | last one standing with checkmate with |
14919s | the death Blossom will go ahead and |
14920s | clean him up as well as Hawk high he |
14922s | pops the overclock but I don't think |
14924s | he's gonna be able to do a damn thing |
14925s | finds one is dealt with by someone with |
14927s | the alt and that will just be the |
14930s | cleanup coming through rain to kick |
14931s | things off by showing us something a |
14934s | little bit different some cheese coming |
14935s | out and it works a treat but Fordham |
14938s | Mayhem they finally managed to stabilize |
14939s | they play around it and they take the |
14941s | first map of lijong 2-0 and a killier so |
14944s | what surprises me and maybe even |
14946s | confuses me is a couple of things why |
14948s | swap off the rhyme to go which was doing |
14950s | I don't think that Hulk was that far |
14952s | behind it wasn't like he was training |
14954s | the team in terms of tempo like he |
14956s | wasn't going to make it back I think he |
14957s | added plenty of full time to work |
14958s | through the Rhine was honestly work if |
14960s | you're going to be playing the sort of |
14961s | Ash and having that Shield up protecting |
14963s | your team bringing this more stationary |
14965s | tank allowing Kai and speedly or two DPS |
14967s | to do the damage I mean that's fine come |
14969s | back on the Doom that strategy falls |
14971s | apart Doom is not good in this minute's |
14973s | realistically one of the worst Heroes |
14975s | and then beyond that we talk about the |
14977s | UV OG combo something they displayed |
14979s | quite a lot in the in the Night Market |
14980s | Round And at work to treat them I won |
14982s | them a lot of fights like the chinarush |
14984s | and the sound barrier to get they work |
14985s | 99 if they double altered and layered |
14987s | their supporters I think they had a good |
14988s | chance to win sure a play being booped |
14990s | up you can't help but the other four |
14991s | guys are still tanky doing a lot of |
14993s | damage |
14995s | well a little bit of everything there in |
14998s | that first map and I think if it's just |
14999s | a taster if that's just our our hors |
15002s | d'oeuvres for the rest of this series |
15003s | then I for one M ready to Feast but |
15005s | Florida Mayhem they do start things off |
15007s | up 1-0 Atlanta Arena are now going to |
15009s | have their map pick as we do look |
15011s | forward to going into hybrid we'll see |
15012s | where they decide to take us when we |
15014s | come back to the brakes and don't go |
15016s | anywhere guys this battle between these |
15018s | two na organizations continues in just a |

15207s | thank you |
15214s | [Music] |
15225s | [Music] |
15241s | and welcome back everybody we are just |
15244s | one mapping into this series where right |
15245s | now the Florida Mayhem are leading 1-0 |
15248s | what a performance so far what a great |
15250s | showing a 2-0 start on Lee Jung Talon |
15252s | hydron I was kind of trying to bring up |
15254s | some of the stats in the middle of the |
15255s | game but it was going so quickly the |
15257s | tempo of these teams have been so fast |
15258s | but at the end of Lee Zhang now I can |
15261s | confirm 18 final blows out of a total of |
15264s | 38 on the Mayhem nearly a deadlift on |
15267s | their map nearly and I want to bring |
15268s | attention towards another stat line yeah |
15270s | that's crazy to me charge shot accuracy |
15272s | 73 now with all the soldier nerves that |
15276s | we have seen on previous patches where |
15278s | the accuracy of the railgun had been |
15280s | nerves so quickly we've seen you know as |
15284s | high as like 80 plus percent from shy at |
15286s | one stage you know drop down I think to |
15288s | more of an average of 60. if you're a |
15289s | pro surgeon play around in the obvious |
15291s | League to me the expectation is if you |
15293s | can get a 60 charge shot accuracy just |
15295s | any right click body shot a headshot |
15297s | you're doing a really really damn good |
15299s | job anything above 60 anything even |
15300s | reaching towards 70 means you're in the |
15302s | upper echelon of all surgeon plays in |
15304s | terms of actually hitting 73 and being |
15306s | above 70 and getting numbers close to |
15309s | like pre-nerf surgeon is wild to me |
15312s | absolutely wild to me and beyond that as |
15314s | well said the alt time to charge for |
15317s | hydron 136 to Kai's 215. that's a nearly |
15321s | 40 second gap of high drunkenness |
15323s | ultimate the overclock 40 seconds on |
15325s | average quicker than kite |
15328s | because that extra 40 seconds that he |
15330s | was spending in the death chamber |
15331s | waiting to respawn because he kept |
15332s | getting head shot by hydrogen but uh as |
15334s | you can see here we do have some |
15335s | substitutions because we'll have so much |
15338s | stepping in as well as Nero coming in |
15340s | for speedily on the opposite side so one |
15342s | sub a piece Gator nowhere in sight seems |
15345s | like Hawk still going to be the play as |
15347s | we get ready to go into hybrid well now |
15348s | I think you know you you bring Nara in |
15351s | he's been a steadfast uh I guess Reaper |
15355s | play for the team also having the main |
15356s | capability uh as well as you know the |
15358s | Genji and some other stuff speedly I |
15360s | think when you stop thinking about some |
15362s | of these substitutions talk about magic |
15363s | in a bit as well because that one does |
15365s | confuse me slightly |
15366s | um I can sort of see the reasoning for |
15368s | why you would maybe have speedily in |
15371s | over |
15372s | um Nero and then swap that out as we |
15373s | head to King's Row I think there was |
15375s | more of a chance that maybe you could |
15377s | see the echo coming through on a control |
15378s | map that's probably less likely to |
15379s | happen on King's rope here I'm a little |
15381s | bit more confused by the the magenta |
15383s | RuPaul pick I think both are essentially |
15385s | just going to end up playing to Rico |
15386s | here I don't really see any sort of |
15388s | changes unless legit is really coming |
15390s | into play something slightly different |
15392s | like could it be an Anna I don't know I |
15394s | don't really see Florida deviating from |
15396s | their set strategy of what where the |
15398s | meta is in terms of Winston comp so this |
15400s | one is a bit of a one-to-one change for |
15401s | me on the Florida side we'll see it has |
15404s | all right I mean we'll have to just wait |
15405s | and see because I certainly didn't |
15406s | anticipate to see a Reinhardt Bastion |
15408s | calm coming out of gardens so perhaps uh |
15410s | there is going to be some funny business |
15412s | here from the side of the Florida Mayhem |
15413s | and they will steer away from what we're |
15416s | trying as the playoff medicine from |
15418s | Monkey Business series it's a silly |
15419s | business |
15421s | with a hog earlier from goo straight |
15424s | what else we're going to see today yeah |
15426s | true I mean we're missing what Sigma |
15429s | Diva Zaria |
15431s | if somebody picks like a what's a good |
15435s | segment the second way out I think those |
15437s | are two good signal Maps I think if that |
15439s | gets fixed I genuinely think a sigma is |
15441s | on the card on the cards and uh Tracer I |
15443s | have heard is the potential for this |
15445s | matter as well |
15446s | as crazy as it is I did hear of teams |
15449s | experimenting with doom but like it's |
15451s | still to me |
15452s | I'm not I just I just don't think Doom |
15454s | is a Great Hero so it's like it doesn't |
15456s | seem like a strong pick even though Hawk |
15458s | is probably one of our best student |
15459s | players it's quite risky and I'll be |
15461s | interested to see what Dante plays a |
15462s | little bit later on but focusing on this |
15464s | match now someone was hovering over the |
15465s | Orissa obviously he locked that in to |
15467s | try and counter the Bastion plus Ryan |
15469s | combo earlier now though after Checkmate |
15471s | Texas opening shot |
15473s | he has can you go back over which was a |
15474s | Reaper in Florida play the standards |
15478s | yeah |
15479s | all righty well just swinging around the |
15481s | opposite side of the statue so far some |
15483s | shots coming down as Nero's gonna have |
15485s | to make his exit three pull off because |
15486s | get popped himself out to safety but a |
15488s | whole lot of damage if you being pushed |
15489s | out from both sides tiptoeing on to the |
15492s | point for now are the Florida Mayhem |
15493s | because he continuously after rain or |
15494s | widely playing back behind hotel now |
15496s | look to go on |
15498s | push four right here but Hulk gonna be |
15500s | taking the lowest and that's gonna be in |
15501s | exchange on the Winston so far 100 |
15503s | opening things up Ramiro was looking to |
15506s | shut the door first tick getting ready |
15508s | to be established and they will be able |
15509s | to grab that one relatively for free the |
15511s | Winston's getting ready to rejoin the |
15512s | frame someone's about him someone's |
15514s | about here right now Hulk has got a |
15515s | longer respawn this is bad for Atlanta |
15516s | they need their five alive they're |
15518s | currently stuck at the moment their team |
15520s | is being split up as well I think some |
15521s | members of the hotel pork has finally |
15523s | arrived |
15524s | themselves back in they do stop the |
15526s | final cap coming through 93 just about |
15528s | builds up here for the side of the |
15529s | Mayhem if Hydro tries to go around on a |
15531s | flanks which is through hotel for just a |
15533s | brief little moment what a Mayhem |
15535s | besides a place a little bit but hydrant |
15537s | eventually finds him the shot goes |
15539s | across OG take it down once more someone |
15541s | will be fell but Hawk is eliminated and |
15543s | dealt with just his swim plate now Nero |
15545s | and Kai will be cleaned up and that will |
15546s | be the extended team kill as well as the |
15548s | cap on a five minutes ten seconds here |
15551s | for Florida Mayhem and it's just the |
15553s | Florida Mayhem pressure on the actual |
15554s | point itself like I said both of that |
15556s | Winston's going down the same time but |
15557s | the attack aside Advantage yeah someone |
15559s | gets a reach on the team a little bit |
15561s | early Atlanta already have no space to |
15562s | work through they're trying to keep |
15563s | touching the point they're trying to |
15564s | keep this point alive we head over |
15566s | towards the second Tech in Atlanta Reign |
15567s | they need this katuna Rush ultraviolet |
15569s | was leading Majid here but there wasn't |
15571s | enough time he dies on 98 hydron someone |
15574s | that opens the account again premium |
15575s | shot into OG and now he gets the shot on |
15577s | Kai |
15578s | thank you |
15579s | again a major pickup here found by |
15584s | hydron who is just going absolutely |
15586s | insane you may have disengage they're |
15588s | putting the team on his back but it's |
15589s | not like anybody else is really |
15590s | performing poorly it's just that he is |
15591s | going out of his mind |
15593s | and he's gonna drop down off The High |
15595s | Ground overclock road goes sliding |
15597s | forward aggressively looking for a |
15599s | Target and everybody scatters to the win |
15601s | very wisely switch on the corner gets |
15604s | the shot across onto Hawk who's |
15605s | relatively safe see in that position |
15608s | they just wait out the Alton out look to |
15609s | go ahead try to displace him they take |
15611s | him low he can get his head slice |
15612s | forward actually goes down nine HP they |
15614s | cannot keep him alive hero Pops in a |
15616s | closet managed to find just that one |
15617s | elimination but given that a time it |
15618s | just might be enough the rest of the |
15620s | Florida Mayhem however are still |
15621s | pluckboarding |
15623s | trying to go ahead track them down finds |
15626s | Majid here with the gear code manages to |
15628s | get the elimination Checkmate dead as |
15630s | well and with that cleanup coming |
15631s | through the cart is going to be locked |
15633s | into position by the Atlanta Reign |
15634s | season they will finally get in the |
15636s | floor to Mayhem displaced I gotta say |
15638s | though Hydra for all the good that he's |
15639s | done so far in this series he was so far |
15641s | forward he could actually see him |
15642s | sliding into the Atlanta Reign trying to |
15644s | be healed by the rest of his team animal |
15646s | tries to drop that beat as well to save |
15647s | him unfortunately not quick enough and |
15649s | that could have been a very different |
15650s | fight for the Mayhem you know Nero |
15653s | actually comes in a shutstown by the |
15654s | Checkmate and Hydra Checkmate again |
15655s | super super slow and you know passive |
15658s | even on these death bosses never had the |
15660s | opportunity to use that testify it now |
15662s | but have made him wait too long UV has |
15665s | the katuna rush again Laura Mayhem needs |
15667s | to win the point we need to get that |
15668s | camp off in the Jets |
15671s | okay well full blown Ring Around the |
15673s | Rosie being played right now with the |
15674s | card |
15675s | s Atlanta ranges shift back moving |
15677s | towards the attacking spawn |
15679s | someone pushes forward and making this |
15681s | place and they can't start stealing this |
15682s | cart away which is why the rain have to |
15684s | play foreign |
15691s | that gets absolutely no one as far as |
15694s | the kills are concerned and that will be |
15696s | the car once more locked in position I |
15698s | mean Kai takes down the primary carry of |
15699s | the Florida Mayhem they also I think |
15701s | Checkmate might have been displaced |
15702s | there by boot by Og or something but did |
15704s | not get value at all on the death |
15705s | blossom |
15706s | katuna Rush also just allows it runs of |
15708s | rain to disengage I mean they can both |
15710s | engage and get out this Blossom so |
15712s | easily with the extra speed boost from |
15713s | the ultimate and that's all the rain the |
15715s | UV has been mostly outpacing Majid and |
15719s | some of that comes down the fact that |
15720s | Atlanta rain have been more active and |
15721s | wanting to use these ultimates Florida |
15723s | tried to disengage the initial Casino |
15726s | Rush from UV successfully in a previous |
15727s | fight now we can see it's mayhem's turn |
15729s | once again to drop that off from UV |
15731s | though sorry not UV OG on the other side |
15733s | with the sound barrier I mean they could |
15734s | probably just fly the side |
15737s | again shifting positions overclock at |
15740s | the reading someone has a full charge |
15741s | rail that he'd like to send out first |
15742s | because the head pops it doesn't find |
15744s | anything for his trouble because found |
15746s | on either side thus far but Hawk near |
15747s | all falling dangerously low tries to |
15750s | escape hawk toad gets struck down to the |
15752s | end Checkmate people to find that kill |
15753s | hero as well sliver of HP remaining for |
15756s | him has the death Blossom available will |
15757s | will get taken down kills finally coming |
15760s | through but it's a good amount of time |
15761s | blotting here from the side of the |
15761s | Atlanta rain but now the cap is going to |
15763s | be coming in it's going to be just about |
15764s | three minutes in the time being from |
15766s | Florida yeah Kai pop that overclock so |
15767s | late though I think like once Atlanta |
15769s | wrang knew that the original couple of |
15771s | ultimates you know the puff Primal they |
15773s | had the sound there and they won't fight |
15774s | within the flights just yet they need to |
15775s | throw in a bit more resource and they |
15776s | didn't Kai Waits until I think the walk |
15778s | even goes down then he uses the |
15780s | overclock and Elijah shuts him down with |
15781s | his own rail it's another full remain |
15783s | him they get to walk away |
15785s | but rather than they had the original |
15787s | consumer versus sound better now they |
15789s | have fall off that's why they can just |
15790s | walk up |
15792s | [Music] |
15796s | there's the opener from Checkmate it is |
15799s | huge they use both of their GPS |
15801s | ultimates have over four but now they do |
15803s | get the card rolling forward like it's |
15805s | gonna be rounding the final corner here |
15806s | now maybe hydron didn't need that but it |
15808s | ends up being fairly worth they get a |
15810s | full cleanup versus the rain it's just |
15811s | an error now to death Blossom Animas |
15813s | ready for that hopefully Sir Magazine |
15815s | with high debt fight before they get if |
15817s | they commit a Panera it's probably dead |
15818s | it's probably gone |
15831s | ends up getting picked off but OG and |
15833s | Hawk are both dead and we just cannot |
15835s | get that touch in time there for Kai and |
15837s | even if he had he would have been just |
15838s | dealt with very swiftly thereafter so |
15840s | maybe an extra two or three seconds |
15841s | block but instead it is going to be a |
15843s | finish here of a minute 59 seconds for |
15845s | the Florida Mayhem on King's Row so well |
15847s | played by the support Joe Florida made |
15848s | him there as well you see the death |
15849s | Blossom from Nara Majid responds with |
15851s | Isuzu allows time for Animo to drop that |
15854s | sound barrier at no risk at no cost and |
15856s | they can just double support all that |
15857s | one Flora Mayhem have the five power to |
15859s | finish it through which is why I'm like |
15860s | even with hydron blowing the extra |
15862s | overclock it seems like they'll have |
15863s | enough resources to finish the map and |
15865s | they will be able to do so there like I |
15867s | said 159 that's a pretty good time bank |
15870s | um if it wasn't for the Atlanta Reign |
15871s | kind of slowing down b as much as they |
15873s | did Florida Mayhem might have had a |
15874s | better time there the real big loss for |
15876s | Atlanta Reign there was that sort of |
15877s | final B defense where you know uh they |
15881s | had most of the ultimate shut down and |
15883s | for Mayhem won that off the initial Rush |
15885s | alone which I I don't even know if I |
15887s | want to say that's what I want to put |
15888s | them because again that sort of get soft |
15889s | counted by Og sound now so one for One |
15891s | support out train it's after that the |
15893s | port of Mayhem just slowly worked right |
15895s | into the neutral didn't have spin in the |
15896s | office and got the snowball so hard on |
15899s | scene |
15901s | [Music] |
15902s | it's ran them down |
15905s | see it was coming |
15907s | helps clean them up |
15908s | right in the end it doesn't end up |
15910s | causing them the thing that the worst |
15912s | part about that for the rain is that |
15913s | they lose inside their own katsuna |
15915s | Russian typically for that ultimate in |
15917s | this current matter that's supposed to |
15918s | be aware that's got to be a W for you |
15919s | you use that Rush it's supposed to be a |
15921s | team Fight Win for you so if you get |
15923s | shut down in that and death wasn't |
15924s | clears your whole team that's a big loss |
15926s | so right now I have a lot of work to do |
15928s | and you know talk about potential cheese |
15929s | coming on through it is the Hawker |
15931s | wrestler I tease this at the very start |
15932s | we are going to see it now properly |
15935s | to held this goes |
15940s | all right pushing forward make their way |
15942s | very easily through the hotel you can |
15944s | see just very spread out defense right |
15946s | now from the side of the Florida Mayhem |
15947s | does mean that they're that much |
15949s | difficult to try to attack given that |
15951s | you do have this Reaper who wants to get |
15952s | up close and personal being able to do |
15954s | that is very tough but nice gets the |
15956s | head shot takes down hybrid |
15957s | major opening here for the rain now to |
15960s | feel a bit more comfortable with the |
15962s | sport posturing onto the point first |
15963s | kicker to be snatched up a hamster like |
15965s | him out they can wait for the Rings more |
15967s | let's go for the five to fight retake |
15968s | getting yourself on for now the Majid |
15970s | potentially got a position he's so far |
15971s | away from his team |
15973s | actually |
15976s | spear out on a Checkmate goes low heels |
15979s | come across they can keep them alive for |
15980s | now both at least here it goes neck and |
15982s | neck as far as getting those consuming |
15983s | rushes up |
15986s | the person is going to be able to pull |
15987s | the trigger on that one first could be |
15988s | the one that wins the fight here for |
15989s | either side Hawk is tucking back trying |
15992s | to stay safe but Ultra miles gets the |
15993s | head shot on the back of the spear |
15995s | Checkmate now it's gonna be dealt with |
15996s | there's the Run coming through much of |
15998s | matching on the opposite side now it's |
16000s | all going to come down to just trying to |
16001s | outplay but hydrone again gonna get head |
16003s | shot by Kai and this should be the point |
16005s | cap coming through for the side of the |
16006s | land to rain they get to lock down and |
16007s | now very similar starting time bank for |
16009s | them just a couple second shies it's |
16011s | over five minutes I think legit was |
16012s | maybe hoping that OG would respond with |
16014s | a sound bar just doesn't get that off |
16016s | the opposition so it ends up being a bit |
16017s | of a wasted uh Kachina Rush coming |
16019s | through from Mayhem it's a full V5 |
16021s | situation right and you don't have the |
16022s | reaper which is one of the main |
16023s | beneficiaries of the tuna Rush that's |
16025s | part of the reason why Reaper is in this |
16027s | matter right now speaking of which I |
16029s | mean Checkmate so far thought he dies he |
16031s | actually had the shift available as |
16032s | watching that cooldown specifically and |
16033s | it was up someone jumps away at that |
16036s | point you know Checkmate you're on the |
16037s | front line now you are now currently the |
16038s | tank and you have to be very careful |
16040s | cognizant of how much damage is going to |
16042s | come your way he gets taken down 120 |
16044s | damage here children UV and that bike |
16046s | fly before |
16048s | pressure on a kite |
16051s | from ultraviolet keeps him topped up |
16052s | he's looking go aggressive pushes up |
16055s | around the corner it might not be a full |
16056s | charge rail shot down to about half HP |
16059s | very easy kill he gets 112 minutes slide |
16062s | casual stuff there from Kai someone |
16065s | leaving down a couple managing to find |
16067s | two with that Primal before he's |
16068s | eventually dealt with they buy about a |
16070s | minute off the time back but the card is |
16072s | again rolling forward for Atlanta rain |
16073s | they have a lot to work with I mean you |
16075s | you waste a bit of time there for the |
16077s | range you get a couple of kills which |
16078s | forces them to at least regroup a little |
16080s | bit here but ultimately I think that |
16081s | Primal would have been better served to |
16083s | defend for the final Fighter beat had a |
16085s | couple of Mayhem ultes now go the |
16087s | wayward |
16088s | I mean it depends on how much value you |
16089s | really place on stalling the payload for |
16091s | as long as you're dead I think you've |
16092s | still had that touch regarded |
16095s | okay overclock for overclock that gets |
16098s | his canceled out early for now no damage |
16100s | dealers left in the fight Atlanta Reign |
16102s | gonna have to try to hightail it out of |
16104s | here |
16105s | well stagger's gonna be found as Hawk |
16107s | will be the simply the last one to false |
16108s | it's like yeah OG very well out of there |
16112s | okay space bought a Mayhem now have a |
16115s | decent position to be able to hold this |
16116s | card for a while and this is a really |
16118s | sore spot for Hawk as well because I |
16119s | think if he had used his ultimate the |
16121s | terrorist search he'd be looking to stop |
16122s | over towards Winston now he has to come |
16123s | back on this arrestor and look for an |
16125s | ultimate play and that's gonna be |
16126s | difficult in a bit more of a I would say |
16128s | retake but they are the attacking team |
16130s | here not trying take a position well |
16132s | they are trying to retake a position uh |
16134s | from the attacking side Checkmate on a |
16136s | bit of a flank and you have another |
16138s | situation where Cinema Jet and animal |
16140s | can work together suzu into a sound |
16143s | barrier |
16144s | Hawk of the low ground here hard |
16146s | position to be in with rain to have a |
16148s | lot of opens |
16151s | it's just been down it's gonna be the |
16152s | rush out from Ultra violence so things |
16154s | off the air drops in that Blossom |
16155s | rolling finds Checkmate but then dealt |
16158s | with one elimination fast speed for beat |
16159s | on opposite side the nominal gonna be |
16161s | stuck in the corner Hawk just pins him |
16163s | spear is spinning jumps him to pieces |
16166s | truly into the beat grinder for him |
16168s | spear not gonna connect but eventually |
16169s | they will be able to deal with someone |
16171s | they take him down that will be the cap |
16174s | coming through so three 48-2-3 for the |
16176s | quarter Mayhem if they want to avoid |
16178s | these Extra Innings our shed will |
16180s | eventually get dropped the rain start |
16182s | pushing |
16183s | despite all the smart ultimately drop |
16185s | down I think there we still got a kill |
16186s | in the middle of that sort of mayhem |
16188s | someone unfortunately didn't have the |
16190s | primal |
16191s | percentage points away |
16192s | Checkmate could not answer with his own |
16194s | death was Blossom in their own |
16197s | well they are inside in that fight as |
16198s | well |
16199s | so ability for someone to play |
16201s | aggressive now with that right oh my God |
16203s | I mean Arc is just stopping to stop from |
16206s | coming through someone down below forced |
16208s | out the Primal Rage so jump back since |
16210s | the brain widely you're gonna be okay to |
16212s | just wait out the remainder of this |
16213s | ultimate back around the corner |
16215s | instantly there trying to find some |
16218s | positioning great move back as well the |
16219s | nice that stop but time does get picked |
16222s | off Checkmate finding that elimination |
16223s | overclock now rolling looking for |
16225s | ultraviolet he's a little bit too |
16227s | elusive for Hydra to be able to line up |
16229s | the shot but he eventually gets OG on |
16230s | the back end of the fight just won by |
16232s | the floor to make him all the same |
16233s | Atlanta rain have about one good fight |
16235s | lift to try and equalize his time back I |
16237s | think it's looking pretty unlikely it's |
16238s | only halfway through on the C point so |
16241s | far I do whack some ultimates to really |
16243s | push towards the end |
16244s | we're looking at definitely Florida |
16246s | having the better turn back with almost |
16248s | seven done Kai coming from virtually |
16250s | unblocked |
16251s | oh Checkmate is just looking to run it |
16253s | down straight in on top of the DPS it |
16255s | gets in deep and eventually we'll find |
16256s | the kill the final takes up that death |
16258s | Blossom I'm sick the rest of the team |
16259s | dangerously low Nero eventually dealt |
16261s | with someone cleaning up The Kill |
16263s | just like that another fight victory for |
16266s | the side of the Mayhem |
16268s | they will be able to get him in the end |
16270s | for some late staggers and everybody |
16271s | won't talk about it even later want OG |
16272s | trying to make it out but Checkmate gets |
16274s | him in the head of the very last second |
16276s | yeah that'll definitely Hurt Now |
16277s | checkmate's setting up for some flanking |
16278s | angles as well love that play from so |
16280s | much Ed by the way Checkmate goes in |
16282s | super aggressively great read versus Kai |
16284s | wants to shut him down with the death |
16285s | muscle to deny the overclock legit just |
16287s | drops in he uses Susan now has tuna Rush |
16290s | available |
16291s | I mean they're just diving in OG has to |
16293s | use the sound barrier in response to |
16294s | this rush in Florida Mayhem say that's |
16296s | good enough for us to go ahead they back |
16297s | away |
16298s | major support ultimate now gonna be |
16300s | taken down phenomenal gonna have a sound |
16302s | barrier of his own in response to ultra |
16303s | violence if they even have to use it |
16305s | okay he's gonna still commit the beat to |
16307s | the fight but ultraviolet was the first |
16308s | one to fall now Nero eliminated and |
16310s | Hawkins desperately just trying to |
16311s | gallop his way back over into the spawn |
16313s | room but once more he's just not allowed |
16315s | it's continued stackers down at every |
16317s | Twist and Turn Florida Mayhem they just |
16319s | disengage then go diving board towards |
16321s | the spawn doors over and over again and |
16323s | this kind of push-pull gameplay is kind |
16325s | of cool Atlanta right in a bit of a loop |
16326s | Majid and Adam are both use ultimates |
16328s | there not at the same time we had the |
16330s | katuna rush first then made him pull |
16332s | back and then animal goes back to the |
16334s | sound barrier and Checkmate the entire |
16335s | time setting the pace getting really |
16336s | aggressive now and getting a lot of work |
16338s | done something UV they have the consumer |
16340s | rush but after they win this fight they |
16342s | still don't have enough just to cap just |
16344s | yet they're gonna have to burn this all |
16345s | now |
16346s | yeah it has this feel like Groundhog Day |
16349s | here for the Atlanta ranges and every |
16351s | time Florida Mayhem Lane set back in |
16352s | dying oh yep they just go ahead they |
16354s | just engage he's not looking to play |
16356s | around against this rush they say okay |
16358s | it's fine we can give up a little bit of |
16359s | spacing here Kai tag down low the |
16361s | healing starts coming out he manages to |
16363s | escape but again the Atlanta Reign |
16364s | they're pulling all the way back towards |
16366s | the Squadron doors all gonna be taken |
16367s | down I've been able to snipe him here |
16369s | with that overclock now Nero dealt with |
16371s | it as well and here we go again space |
16374s | bought given to them by the Florida |
16376s | Mayhem and then they just go ahead and |
16377s | send her right back into their hands |
16378s | like just outplay some of the ultimates |
16380s | in some of the place from Atlanta so |
16381s | well they out just straight up disengage |
16384s | out of the kitchen Rush from ultraviolet |
16386s | Atlanta rank can do nothing really about |
16387s | that they want to find some members for |
16389s | May if they cannot and then may him |
16391s | re-engage the Primal now we're heading |
16393s | to final fight Kayan needs to win a |
16394s | fight off this |
16396s | someone so dangerously low a rush used |
16399s | by somebody just trying to keep |
16400s | everybody alive shot goes across hydrant |
16402s | gonna fall that's an opening for the |
16404s | side of the rain who need to think push |
16405s | across in OT and even then it's just |
16408s | gonna be playing out for its raw death |
16409s | Blossom dropped in Checkmate uses one of |
16410s | his own he's protected by the bubble |
16412s | throw grease for the moment there hero |
16413s | drops out of the right block finds |
16414s | someone kills off the main tank with top |
16416s | of the card still Advance four they have |
16418s | knocking distance hydrant has swapped |
16419s | over onto the Widowmaker he found out |
16421s | Jew in the first shot sound barrier |
16422s | dropped him by a novel and they're |
16424s | looking to finish just right here right |
16425s | now they don't want to go to Extra |
16426s | Innings but Nero looks the fight back |
16428s | finds one Checkmate eliminate Hydra |
16430s | plays around the corner gets him in the |
16432s | head |
16433s | OT gonna start plummeting here very |
16435s | rapidly all they may have need to do is |
16437s | this place them for a brief for a moment |
16438s | ultraviolet dealt with OG down to a |
16440s | sliver trying to self-heal himself back |
16442s | up but the OT will bleed away before |
16443s | somebody else can touch and the hold is |
16445s | successful Florida Mayhem they will win |
16448s | on King's Row and now move up to zero in |
16452s | the series |
16454s | instead of my first Satan hydron is so |
16457s | good in the series so far he comes out |
16459s | on a Widowmaker pick by the way just out |
16461s | of I don't know if I want to call it |
16463s | desperation but there's a bit of a you |
16464s | know one of those outer spawn instant |
16465s | value type of picks he got 75 towards |
16469s | his infraside ultimate on that one life |
16471s | just coming out of forms a couple of |
16472s | picks in there as well |
16473s | outstanding stuff in Florida Mayhem |
16475s | outside of just the individual mechanics |
16477s | where looking at their team play their |
16479s | ability to have this kind of push-pull |
16481s | gameplay where they can disengage so |
16483s | well from the rain will Rey want to go |
16484s | in and then re-engage back into the rain |
16486s | when rain leaves expected when they're |
16488s | not ready for it mayhem even running |
16490s | towards the rain spawn on sea that's |
16493s | just so insane |
16496s | just incredible displays right now from |
16500s | the side of the Florida Mayhem and the |
16501s | rain they start off looking really good |
16504s | they nearly match the time pick on that |
16505s | initial cap five minutes six to five |
16508s | minutes and ten from the quarter Mayhem |
16509s | on their attack it's looking neck and |
16511s | neck to get a hell of a lot of distance |
16512s | over towards point B but it was really |
16514s | that initial lock up after they got seen |
16516s | the constant resetting the constant |
16518s | spawn Dives coming through from the |
16520s | Florida Mayhem to shoot down that clock |
16521s | now they find themselves at Match Point |
16523s | here looking to send the rain down to |
16525s | the lower bracket they need to need to |
16526s | fight their way out of here they've got |
16528s | one more map pick to make it happen |
16529s | we'll see if they can get it done when |
16530s | we come back from the break |

16783s | foreign |
16792s | lead at the moment here for the side of |
16794s | the Florida Mayhem but first let's talk |
16796s | about Clockwork Zenyatta because it's |
16799s | only on sale for a limited time so you |
16800s | silly Billy's better get you off your |
16801s | booty and make sure you go ahead and |
16803s | lock that down before it is gone forever |
16805s | got it done until November 15th 300 |
16807s | League tokens and whatnot you guys been |
16809s | watching a hell on OverWatch you should |
16810s | have more than enough to go ahead and |
16811s | pick that one up for yourself because |
16813s | it's uh it's a pretty damn good looking |
16815s | skin I actually haven't seen this one |
16816s | before and I I like it and I think I'm |
16817s | gonna have to buy it after this yeah I |
16819s | mean I got I copter straight away uh |
16821s | Gone Forever Until maybe five years time |
16823s | when the OverWatch League Vault unlocks |
16825s | again who knows and by the life speaking |
16827s | of like you know stage skins and stuff |
16829s | like that we got one more coming the the |
16831s | champions of the Season get their own |
16833s | skin as well but that one is still you |
16835s | know who knows who knows gonna who's |
16836s | gonna get it that's what the playoffs |
16838s | are all about Dynasty as uh you know |
16841s | sorry |
16842s | threw that one in there I had some |
16844s | hopium stuck in there yeah I let's talk |
16848s | about uh what's going on here as well I |
16850s | kind of want to highlight some of the |
16852s | stuff happening on the support line |
16853s | because I think animal and submerged had |
16854s | a great map on King's Road that we just |
16856s | saw Summer jet in particular uh his |
16860s | performance over both UV and his own |
16863s | team at RuPaul has been staggering it |
16864s | does still like drive a bit of question |
16866s | in my mind they're like okay well what |
16867s | was the sort of the point of |
16869s | substitution with ripple on for the Jung |
16870s | map so magent comes in |
16872s | um obviously a bit of a difference in |
16874s | the maps you know I think uh Kings Road |
16876s | generally it probably goes a bit longer |
16877s | it was a pretty quick 2-0 on Lee Jong |
16879s | All Things Considered so Ripple didn't |
16880s | get as much time per se but Majid comes |
16883s | in and Deals like three times as much as |
16886s | damage is what Rupal had on the jungle |
16888s | different map but just want to point |
16889s | that out but even uh in terms of how |
16892s | that's looking across the border with |
16895s | his healing as well something that's |
16896s | really interesting about because people |
16898s | think of there is this really high |
16899s | damaging sport she can certainly get |
16901s | some shots but she is still kind of like |
16903s | the main healer for the team and usually |
16904s | we'll do the majority of the healing and |
16906s | you'll probably be surprised but Lucio |
16908s | players have a very similar amount of |
16910s | damage done if not sometimes more damage |
16911s | done than even the kariko plays because |
16913s | you need to bomb up these katsuna rushes |
16915s | you do that very quickly off the back of |
16918s | just mainly healing for the fact that |
16919s | Majid's being able to do a ton of damage |
16921s | on top of the healing is what he's |
16923s | setting on the bike |
16926s | all righty well chunker Town needs to be |
16928s | the staging ground for the Atlanta reign |
16931s | because they look to pull off a reverse |
16933s | sweep so far we have had nothing but |
16935s | three zeros here in our first day of the |
16938s | playoffs can Atlanta be the difference |
16941s | makers even just for one map for God's |
16943s | sakes let me see somebody fight back |
16946s | that is what I'm hoping for here as we |
16948s | will I think you'll get into this one |
16950s | and see if they're able to get done and |
16951s | I think the reason you'll get it is |
16952s | because this is a smart map choice for |
16954s | the land to rent it allows Hulk to play |
16956s | the sigma if you want a positive tank |
16957s | match up for the rain |
16959s | this is probably going to be the one |
16961s | he's currently hovering over the Winston |
16962s | but let's keep our eye out would be |
16964s | interested to see if that remains to be |
16966s | the case |
16967s | um |
16968s | there is still a position and a |
16972s | possibility for Sigma on circuit Royale |
16974s | also this particular map of junker town |
16976s | to be a great pick and right now uh |
16980s | someone is clearly I don't want to say |
16982s | he's the better Winship he's the far |
16983s | more practice once he has so much more |
16984s | time on this hero |
16986s | and Hawk has been mainly an off tank |
16988s | player who's played primarily I think |
16989s | doomed this season |
16991s | and to rain if there's a time to pull |
16993s | through something a little bit different |
16996s | this would be a great map to do so we |
16998s | saw the Aristo in King's rope that had |
16999s | some success but eventually fell out of |
17003s | capability of finishing that map and as |
17005s | gates open for Killers I think for now |
17007s | yeah Hawk's going to stay on see what |
17009s | happens on the defense though |
17012s | you've been with it |
17014s | this guy just looks the Pokemon brought |
17015s | around this High Ground gets a good |
17016s | amount of damage in trying to build up |
17018s | that rail shot |
17020s | across which is a brief little moment |
17022s | it's a window of opportunity to maybe |
17024s | find a pig |
17026s | or if it wants to hold on this right |
17028s | click sends it out someone getting |
17029s | tacked low he's in too deep should be |
17031s | taken down and he is talking to find a |
17034s | kill First Blood they're on the map as |
17036s | Florida Mayhem now gonna have to give up |
17037s | a considerable amount of space as they |
17039s | wait for their main thing to go ahead |
17040s | and rejoin them I mean what a shot from |
17042s | Kai though the burst damage the one tank |
17043s | yeah well |
17045s | still is a bit of a main yeah well if |
17046s | you're the one tank you are also the |
17048s | main tank in this sort of situation as |
17049s | well but Atlanta Reign using that 5v4 |
17051s | advantage to great success someone |
17053s | rejoins only now |
17056s | trying to poke it right around the max |
17057s | he's kind of on that flank so he can he |
17059s | gets himself up over towards the card |
17061s | let's put some attention but instead |
17063s | it's just dealt with near him able to |
17064s | get on top of him finds that elimination |
17066s | kind is still safe still chunking down |
17068s | members as Checkmate goes down to a |
17070s | sliver of HP stays alive for now if we |
17072s | go ahead and just do get out of the |
17074s | death row and then ammo will not be able |
17075s | to survive OG with the Cheerios in the |
17078s | face finds the kills and hero is just |
17080s | continuing to push forward he appeals |
17082s | and trying to build up towards that |
17083s | first death blossom |
17085s | it'll be the cap coming up the resolve |
17087s | so now just over five minutes and |
17088s | Atlanta don't have to hold for that at |
17089s | all they didn't have to use anything for |
17090s | that I think you'd be at a situation |
17091s | where Mayhem actually got a counter |
17093s | trade somewhere UV would be forcible |
17094s | team would be pressure to do so the land |
17096s | to Reign after you know you still see |
17098s | Kaya Nero particularly getting those |
17099s | kills in there Atlanta Ranger say hold |
17101s | it we're good |
17102s | and a very I think uh straight forward |
17104s | cap a little bit of resistance from |
17106s | Mayhem but otherwise with someone dying |
17108s | in the very early seconds of the game |
17110s | having to play this 5v4 but for Mayhem |
17114s | losing a bunch of space he had to get |
17115s | someone back but some half of the |
17117s | reclaims based on that the rain are |
17118s | pushing the highway through they are the |
17120s | first ones to Ultimate for the majority |
17121s | of offense |
17123s | he also finds himself at about a 20 the |
17125s | opposite as well underneath the hawk |
17126s | towards that Primal range |
17129s | to rely on the rest of the team to do |
17131s | some point here with their ultimates |
17132s | rushby Rush gonna be coming through and |
17135s | responds and checkman just take it down |
17137s | now might have as well falling someone |
17140s | down to about 5 HP up on the high |
17142s | grounds he grabs a health pack somewhere |
17144s | and he's gonna try to go ahead and |
17146s | Escape they continue to pursue in Hawk |
17148s | looking to zap him down |
17150s | so he will be allowed to stay alive but |
17152s | Atlanta rain are just steamrolling their |
17154s | way through this map second point about |
17156s | to be snatched up Florida May in half |
17157s | four ultimate social they got to get |
17158s | this retake in quickly it's got to be a |
17160s | bloody one both teams gonna be ulting |
17162s | pretty big hit someone's gonna fly well |
17164s | there it is the clock first |
17165s | yeah Primal does get popped I think the |
17167s | animals feet gone along Zone grabbing |
17169s | around the back |
17170s | that Blossom's gonna be hell but |
17172s | Checkmate actually does find the |
17173s | elimination here on the hawk does he |
17174s | commit his off to this it seems like |
17176s | Atlanta rain are more than happy to go |
17178s | for the reset here |
17179s | because there was going to try to escape |
17181s | and actually almost takes down some |
17182s | water does narrowly survive and offer up |
17185s | a good amount of all charge here for his |
17186s | supports |
17188s | I think that's a semblance of control is |
17189s | found this could be a potential mistake |
17191s | from the reign as well because they give |
17192s | up good map control now I think it's |
17193s | fine to disengage another situation but |
17195s | disengaging and just kind of |
17198s | I don't know if they want to say opting |
17199s | to lose there but certainly they weren't |
17200s | Keen to uh commit Hawk doesn't frame |
17204s | already like that was a lot of key |
17205s | things now it's probably the sniping |
17206s | animal rain could definitely go and |
17207s | probably still have to alter a little |
17209s | here but maybe they can save some |
17213s | but now we're still taking their time |
17214s | itching forward jumping across the |
17217s | opposite way drops down knocks someone |
17218s | away and into Nero's welcoming arms they |
17221s | find that elimination Checkmate has |
17222s | tried to buy a little bit of time as |
17224s | much as they possibly can but it's |
17225s | hooked to the side hops to death Blossom |
17227s | and doesn't get a damn thing for it two |
17228s | quick kills every guy as well with the |
17229s | overclock and all the chaos the cap |
17231s | comes in and it's over four minutes |
17234s | for the side of the Atlanta Rangers to |
17236s | get ready to push into the final stretch |
17237s | that's going to be one of the more |
17238s | depressing uh death Blossom to see how |
17241s | to Checkmate when anyone really it just |
17243s | it's entire team's already dead I think |
17244s | there's like two people left just him |
17245s | and one other and then it's just him and |
17247s | he gets pooped Away by Hall just batting |
17249s | with the bigger other arms on the win |
17251s | survival and Checkmate goes slow death |
17253s | wants him anyway it just does nothing |
17255s | that's one ultimate that Mayhem will |
17256s | want back but Majid's gonna have the |
17258s | early katuna Rush here |
17259s | we'll need to use at the regain space |
17261s | pretty low HP though on someone |
17267s | and Rangers don't play towards it |
17270s | if Hulk live here I mean UV can just |
17272s | counter Alton's good for rain yeah I |
17273s | mean |
17274s | similar to what we saw in King's Row |
17276s | with Mayhem disengaging with rain kind |
17277s | of just get out of the katuna Russian |
17278s | doesn't do a lot |
17280s | [Music] |
17281s | and you're all pushing forward death |
17283s | Blossom dropped in Checkmate immediately |
17284s | taken down and ammo into the back we'll |
17287s | stay safe but now good Boop just keep |
17289s | Hawking an arms distance but he's got |
17291s | the zap starts with the right click |
17293s | Snipes him down another shot across on |
17294s | the hydrant here |
17307s | managing to find two eliminations here |
17309s | for himself as it's a very bloody roll |
17311s | back and forth here someone trying to |
17312s | stay alive but eventually will be felt |
17314s | Nero finding that elimination but he |
17316s | himself as well is going to get dropped |
17317s | and I get to the end of it all somehow |
17319s | the Florida Mayhem successfully do get |
17320s | the hold one narrow died at the start of |
17322s | the fight right you've seen never dying |
17323s | here again that's because he just |
17324s | respawned so he kind of dies twice in |
17326s | the same fight |
17327s | and Florida Mayhem also get a lot of |
17328s | value on someone's Primal again he's a |
17330s | very experienced Winston play this is |
17331s | one of his top picks he's been getting |
17333s | successes on that primal |
17335s | we land to rain now Hawks don't have to |
17336s | prove he can do the same thing with his |
17337s | own final coming up online they get some |
17339s | good distance I mean I think for UV it |
17341s | wasn't the worst squeaker all has |
17343s | reasonable Valley but they definitely |
17344s | wanted more out of the kills afterwards |
17349s | yep |
17351s | oh honest right now hero goes up to |
17353s | match |
17369s | which could be monstrous |
17371s | kindness to set the pace right now |
17373s | I need to take control of the space they |
17375s | currently don't have this High Ground |
17376s | Control either nearest slowly pushing |
17378s | Kai still holding legit is on now |
17383s | but he's also going to take it down he |
17385s | uses it checkpoint's gonna get for one |
17386s | but then the overclock comes in from Kai |
17388s | finds the kill catches Hydra trying to |
17390s | push up onto that left side flank breaks |
17393s | it down to size gonna be eliminated |
17394s | Under Fire 65 HP remaining for him and |
17397s | there's not much else that he could do |
17398s | someone kind of botches the jump forward |
17400s | so he's not going to be able to get the |
17401s | punish here for the added stagger but |
17404s | anyway let's get his way out to safety |
17405s | but they still manage to hold this and |
17407s | it's gonna be Hawk who's actually traded |
17408s | on the back end and that's probably even |
17410s | better there as well because it's a |
17411s | later kill than where Kai would have |
17412s | been yeah someone gets two regardless I |
17414s | think he won the kai getting away even |
17415s | if they don't kill Hulk someone kill him |
17417s | through there once again this time |
17418s | without a primal by the way it is so |
17420s | huge for the team but Jen dies popping |
17422s | down the consumer rush but the team |
17423s | still gets to use it |
17424s | despite chick made a hydro getting shot |
17426s | there that was a reasonable ultimate |
17427s | from car he got a lot of work done but |
17429s | they couldn't convert that further they |
17430s | couldn't clean up the rest of the |
17431s | members of someone has been a huge |
17433s | problem and now he's got the Primal |
17434s | again |
17437s | off The High Ground |
17439s | the blossom held |
17441s | he's gonna rush out from ultraviolet and |
17443s | some kills someone staying alive |
17445s | despite the Primal HP there and yeah I |
17448s | mean Nero's definitely trying to find |
17449s | somebody but everybody's flying quite |
17451s | far away he decides to go into Ops the |
17453s | ultimate Checkmate rape walking away but |
17454s | two kills are gonna be found traded back |
17456s | as Kai does get dropped the cart just |
17458s | two and a half meters left to go now as |
17459s | Jimmy tries to keep this one contested |
17461s | the dive comes back in so might have |
17462s | just hungry Hill forward into the |
17464s | sweeper trying to keep him alive use the |
17465s | cleanse as well Hawk gonna be taken down |
17467s | and find the eliminations out of town |
17468s | bear are gonna be dropped into |
17469s | desperation from this out of OG he gets |
17471s | the right click kill Checkmate now gonna |
17472s | be taken out well they may have someone |
17474s | swaps over on I'm sorry and tries to get |
17476s | back in here but just gonna evolve |
17477s | nearly the alt online but they just |
17479s | barely get pushed off of the card the C9 |
17482s | calls come through from the side of the |
17484s | rain score and that was looking damn |
17486s | holdable seconds for the Florida Mayhem |
17489s | they had ultimate magent Kim comes back |
17491s | he's got a katuna rush he was at 99 we |
17494s | know he had a barrier too and yeah that |
17496s | was so horrible I think Mayhem will be |
17498s | left wanting |
17500s | legit says awesome |
17502s | awesome uh it's one way to look at it |
17505s | yeah well it's uh to be fair the Silver |
17507s | Lining there for Mayhem is still like |
17509s | what was the what was the time back for |
17510s | Randolph's gapping B about four minutes |
17511s | right four minutes plus |
17513s | so may him still bring that one right |
17515s | down to 4.2 which is okay but they would |
17517s | have loved to have held that instead |
17519s | because it was well within their grass |
17520s | but slips through their fingers instead |
17523s | someone's still getting a number of |
17525s | frags at Checkmate and the Jed's taking |
17527s | a life for so long by the way two |
17529s | invulnerabilities there checkmate's got |
17531s | the raid form drops down the suzu |
17534s | and then our Reaper just does not die |
17537s | so now once again as we head to the |
17538s | defense of the rain we look at the cops |
17539s | Hawk is not going to go for these Sigma |
17541s | so |
17542s | maybe circuit Royale will be the pick |
17544s | Jonestown certainly is let's take a look |
17545s | at the C9 here again |
17547s | so here comes all the members coming up |
17549s | through pay attention to animal Majin |
17550s | have a lot of ultimates and then Nero |
17552s | pushes in someone tries to go onto the |
17554s | Halo animos are fights there just wasn't |
17557s | anyone there no one even got booed off |
17559s | there just wasn't anyone there |
17561s | maybe that maybe Florida felt like |
17563s | someone was closer than he was but he |
17564s | just wasn't he was on Azaria not a |
17566s | Winston he couldn't jump on |
17569s | well this is a bit of a different look |
17570s | here as we have a very forward hole for |
17572s | the southern land of rain |
17573s | that they have a lot of people who can't |
17575s | just disconnect from this position with |
17577s | relatives with the jump the TP the slide |
17582s | they're gonna be putting the player on |
17583s | the back side of the shed for now |
17584s | checking around the flank trying to make |
17586s | sure that Nero isn't going to be coming |
17587s | in from behind guys |
17589s | Hawkins taken down as well so yeah I |
17592s | better try for playing man much better |
17594s | trade for Mayhem even though they're |
17595s | giving the kill yeah Majid trading on |
17597s | divided that's going to help Majid get |
17598s | the ultimate later on |
17599s | very back and forth we have to remember |
17601s | Mayhem have the closest spawns here rain |
17602s | have a big lot long run back so these |
17605s | remaining players have to leave before |
17606s | they get stated they can stay here that |
17608s | becomes much worse for the rain |
17610s | so pretty iffy and catches |
17613s | I think if Hawk doesn't die that would |
17615s | be an acceptable holder with Hulk just |
17617s | getting rolled by Checkmate who just |
17619s | runs up to him a few shotgun blasts to |
17621s | the face |
17622s | now Reyna forced to hold the same |
17623s | position I think the Silver Lining over |
17625s | the rain is at least they still get this |
17626s | choke point |
17628s | yeah |
17629s | sure all right pressure into the back |
17632s | should I go sliding to the side some |
17634s | self elusive for now |
17636s | to build up that next rail |
17638s | break down the bubbles Hawk makes his |
17640s | exit low HP there for the Winston |
17643s | good top back up oh she won oh he's |
17646s | gonna be found there yeah he goes low |
17648s | barely Manchester surviving right now |
17650s | the HP bars from the side of the range |
17651s | not looking all too great Kai getting |
17653s | jumped on yet again the subject mate |
17655s | will be able to do him in finds that |
17657s | kill hawk gonna be under Fire ends up |
17659s | falling and it's gonna be a fairly quick |
17660s | capture from the side of the port of |
17662s | Mayhem as they just now clean up the few |
17663s | remaining members of the rain I think |
17665s | the the thing there as well is like you |
17667s | know I mentioned that rain at least |
17669s | still had the choke point to play with |
17670s | that sort of kill box before we get to |
17671s | the open area but the other issue is |
17673s | Mayhem already have sort of some high |
17675s | grounds played through there as well the |
17677s | first to that area and Reina kind of |
17678s | trying to find some positioning |
17681s | one kind of cool thing we do see there |
17683s | with grain losing despite the losing the |
17685s | fact that UV keeps something legit it's |
17687s | like you'll be dying you'd be actually |
17688s | dead magenta did not and both Rico are |
17690s | still finding out at the same time so |
17691s | ultraviolet's been doing a lot to get |
17694s | these very fast alternates for an am |
17696s | currently set on four nearly five this |
17698s | is rain drop down |
17702s | okay rushes pop on either side the other |
17704s | clock there for a hydrant The Violet |
17706s | gonna be the first one to get taken down |
17707s | but holding out of the corner on him |
17709s | getting jumped on it grabs that Mega |
17711s | package about to stay alive for a little |
17712s | bit longer but someone's got the juggle |
17713s | on him and he manages to take him down |
17714s | to the end General finds one for his |
17717s | trouble but will get cleaned up near |
17720s | Indiana someone nearly survives |
17723s | additional stagger foundation will get |
17724s | dropped and Florida may have to get this |
17726s | car rolling risk keep it very patient |
17728s | rewarding time in there for Animo he |
17729s | held onto the sound barrier for quite a |
17731s | long time UV and OG dropped fairly uh |
17734s | consistently together Majid responds |
17735s | Majid actually had his own kariko katuna |
17738s | rush but it's animal with a slightly |
17739s | later beat that allows for Paula May him |
17741s | to get super aggressive with someone |
17742s | with a fantastic Corner track on the kai |
17744s | removing Kai from the equation is a huge |
17746s | deal Now setting up for the potential of |
17748s | a death boss from Checkmate has been |
17749s | found playing or aware of the |
17751s | positioning you see my chicken with the |
17753s | TV as well |
17754s | yeah |
17756s | so aggressive Blossom held overclocked |
17760s | pop by Kai off screen spots him here in |
17762s | the hallway but everybody disengages |
17764s | back |
17765s | line of sight making sure |
17767s | they don't get their heads clipped on |
17769s | here this Focus looks to hold the top of |
17771s | the stairs |
17772s | but it may have now very much contained |
17774s | into the back spots here of this map |
17777s | that need to be able to break free and |
17778s | Hawk is going to be looking to dive in |
17779s | Hydra onto somebody but now that's gonna |
17782s | be hydron getting the head shot Nero |
17783s | taken down Kai as well low on HP |
17785s | continues get chipped away after the |
17787s | death Blossom dropped in by Checkmate |
17788s | finds two ultraviolet joining him in the |
17790s | grave |
17791s | the cleanup comes through and it's again |
17793s | a four plus minute time bank here is the |
17795s | Fordham a.m look at the storm that way |
17797s | to the end of the match and Ryan has to |
17798s | have a great sea hole just like Mayhem |
17800s | did what a way to sort of out rotate |
17802s | Hawk through see Hawk forced to Primal |
17803s | in |
17804s | Hulk tries to find some quarter tracks |
17806s | trying to find some members inside the |
17807s | small halls for the floor Mayhem they |
17809s | just walk out they go back over towards |
17811s | the point hydron flies a shot De Niro |
17812s | and then Checkmate gets to death wants |
17814s | him on the actual point itself |
17816s | and lands of rain no answer for it Hawk |
17818s | super low HP now as well they can't even |
17820s | take space made him have the turntable |
17822s | on the top high ground they have the |
17824s | payload pushing someone's about to play |
17826s | an ultimate machete is the first |
17827s | consumer Rush Mayhem are in position to |
17830s | get a lot of that again they can just |
17831s | bring push and they don't have to hold |
17832s | unless Reign responds |
17835s | made finding some good value slows them |
17837s | up kind of push around the front side |
17838s | get some damage through as well yeah |
17843s | I'm back |
17844s | kill major opening here as Hawk drops |
17847s | down he's trying to keep this thing |
17848s | contested with someone I mean he's got |
17849s | that Bolton's back pocket he's ready to |
17852s | pop at a given moment Rush gonna be used |
17853s | on either side Hydra does can take it |
17855s | down all people will find that kill |
17856s | first and foremost sound barrier now |
17858s | gonna be coming in late second here from |
17859s | anamo but he continues to get worse |
17861s | lower and lower and nearer will find the |
17863s | elimination in the end so despite the |
17864s | sound barrier investment yeah you just |
17866s | have no way of fighting back they all |
17868s | get taken down to the rain now have |
17869s | control of the card but it's a big |
17870s | investment from the Florida Mayhem and |
17872s | someone realizes over it doesn't burn |
17874s | the Primal good choice to make really it |
17876s | was a kill to hydrant right we talk |
17878s | about the fact that someone jumps in |
17879s | we're like man Halsey just managed to |
17882s | find a pick Holt kind of does the same |
17883s | thing drops on top of hydron and that is |
17886s | the key pick I think of that fight that |
17887s | allows rain to win because otherwise |
17888s | heidelines damage might have made that |
17890s | difference |
17893s | foreign |
17903s | [Music] |
17925s | cleans up both the supports gets kind of |
17927s | boot and Hawk just doesn't stand a |
17929s | chance just under two minutes now gonna |
17931s | be bumped up to just under three as they |
17934s | complete the map and that pick on the |
17936s | Hulk is so huge as well I think he was |
17937s | on about 200 he was left he listened to |
17940s | half HP |
17942s | but still had ample opportunity I feel |
17944s | to maybe have gone for that primer but |
17945s | he gets taken down very quickly from |
17948s | below half doesn't respect the damage up |
17950s | from the floor to make him |
17952s | but because he goes down landed down to |
17954s | four members they can't hold on someone |
17956s | gets super aggressive he was cleaving |
17958s | three members towards the rain base the |
17961s | spawn for quite some time instantly goes |
17963s | Primal pop somebody down with the prime |
17965s | will just instant delete somebody Hawk |
17967s | eventually comes out for the primer but |
17968s | it's too late I think you already lost |
17970s | that fight Chipman has the death Blossom |
17972s | on the point they already can't think |
17974s | you want to touch you've got to run him |
17975s | to death Blossom perfect opportunity for |
17976s | the Florida Mayhem now off the back of |
17979s | one fantastic kill on the Hulk they |
17981s | gotta get a brilliant time at 253 versus |
17983s | one minute |
17987s | your advantage but we have seen teams |
17990s | push out from you know these positions |
17993s | many many times in the past you can see |
17995s | it's just checkmate |
18000s | just ran up to the spawn and press Q if |
18002s | that works yep no zoning ultimates here |
18005s | this is fully for the aggression |
18009s | someone you had an early death last time |
18012s | let's see if you can avoid that it's |
18014s | only a minute that they have to work |
18015s | through but dying this close up would be |
18018s | uh pretty devastating sends out a couple |
18021s | zaps and we'll just go ahead and leap up |
18022s | over onto the opposite High Ground I |
18024s | think he definitely knows that uh his |
18025s | death was probably the impetus of |
18027s | Atlanta Reigns initial eight point cap |
18029s | so |
18030s | has to be careful this time as you sort |
18032s | of mentioned the legit able to climb up |
18034s | a decent amount of alt charge off of the |
18036s | Damage Done to someone so far also can't |
18039s | afford real make him you can't afford |
18040s | for Kai just a landing shot so that |
18043s | first rail will go |
18044s | to the right 30 seconds |
18048s | all right here's the contest under the |
18050s | initial Bridge |
18052s | this one locked in place all members of |
18055s | the Florida may have playing here on the |
18056s | low ground it's like five minutes might |
18058s | be gonna rotate back around but no he's |
18060s | actually just playing right there inside |
18061s | of the joke |
18062s | he possibly can and I'm taking a load |
18065s | somewhat nearly dead the pumping heals |
18067s | out as quickly as they possibly can but |
18068s | he still will Falls because we can cause |
18070s | some Hydra as he and Khan find a kill a |
18072s | piece |
18080s | but look at the 86 percent from magent |
18082s | even if the payload gets to the end of a |
18084s | and there will be enough time for the |
18085s | Mayhem to come back in they pop the |
18087s | katuna rush and that is a major win |
18088s | condition Oshie does also have a sound |
18090s | barrier coming online though sort of |
18091s | beat that connection between those two |
18093s | ultimates one per side |
18096s | okay they went out the grenade just for |
18097s | a little bit longer someone now jumping |
18099s | forward keeps it contested there's the |
18100s | rush |
18101s | Jets popping that trying to keep them in |
18103s | this house OG ultraviolet nearly with |
18106s | that next one now and I'm gonna be using |
18108s | the shielding as well to push away |
18109s | they're on to Nero attack back in for |
18111s | free for the moment but there gives his |
18112s | life flight for it OG now gonna be |
18114s | taking it down the cleanup is coming |
18115s | through Hawk will find one but as he |
18117s | leaps away from the cart that will be |
18119s | the end of this assault |
18121s | Atlanta rain can't quite make it to |
18123s | point a with the hold that position and |
18127s | two minutes and 53 seconds if they want |
18129s | to be able to take this map |
18131s | bit of a change in the chat there |
18133s | Majesty's not going to say I think he's |
18134s | talking about the C9 |
18136s | guy says do it what I want to mention |
18138s | there is as well it really wasn't I |
18140s | think I think and it absolutely wasn't |
18142s | but nowadays I think players just throw |
18143s | it in there at all times |
18145s | um I'm going to talk about the fact that |
18146s | there was that one Fade Away kill they |
18148s | got into ultraviolet on I think the |
18150s | first fight as well and I sort of |
18152s | mentioned vegetables ahead by about 20 |
18154s | on the consumer Rush that ends up being |
18156s | a defining Factor because ultraviolet |
18158s | Atlanta terrain and that eight-point |
18160s | push on about 98 99 towards the katuna |
18163s | rush so that one death on UltraViolet |
18166s | slowing them down from finding the |
18167s | cartoon Rush win previously I mean it's |
18169s | sort of mentioned but even uh not just |
18172s | this map but the other Maps as well |
18173s | ultraviolet's timing for consumeration |
18175s | has been really good whether he's alive |
18176s | or dead but yeah because he doesn't get |
18178s | that extra time to find the damage and |
18180s | couldn't respond to if both sport offers |
18182s | command OG had the Soundbar which is |
18184s | great that's that Sean's ultraviolet by |
18185s | the way getting him down they're |
18188s | basically will slow him down from being |
18189s | the response of the Zone Casino Russian |
18191s | that could have been the Difference |
18191s | Maker I think it would have actually |
18192s | been the Difference Maker |
18197s | here we go again with the forward hold |
18199s | up on top and they need this to be an |
18202s | absolute bunker |
18204s | income for the rain if they want to be |
18205s | able to hold this off and take us oh my |
18207s | God |
18210s | just starts off the Widowmaker and they |
18212s | just do not see it coming at all OG |
18214s | instantly taken down and the rest of the |
18217s | rain half to this place they have to |
18218s | scatter as quickly as humanly possible |
18220s | but getting out of this position now |
18221s | this is going to prove to be difficult |
18223s | if not impossible to clean up comes |
18225s | through and put a fork in it this is |
18227s | looking very well done I mean they will |
18229s | still be contested if there will still |
18231s | be another option for the land to rain |
18232s | and to be fair that's not nearly as bad |
18234s | as the what Violet Bap jumping on King's |
18237s | Road Akai sniping him and you know |
18239s | playoffs of years past ironically it's |
18242s | the rain now popping the end of that |
18244s | sniper rifle |
18246s | and Hulk's back on a doofus oh this is |
18248s | gonna be really rough I think he would |
18250s | have had time to come back and Winston |
18251s | but he trust his dude this year they |
18252s | don't have much to work through this has |
18254s | to be a very good neutral for the rain |
18260s | this is the girl absolutely nuclear here |
18262s | but he's instantly chunked down a half |
18264s | HP Dives in decent seismic slam off |
18268s | the heels come forward just trying to |
18269s | keep him alive as much as they possibly |
18271s | can fists go up trying to mitigate |
18273s | coming out of half Hydra dead Kai finds |
18275s | the opening kill that's the first step |
18278s | someone as well getting focus fired |
18280s | stunned up pushing into the side the |
18281s | water tank gets taken down seems like |
18283s | for now Hawk is absolutely destroying |
18286s | with the deal |
18287s | what's up with a couple kills and they |
18288s | will be able to hold this card position |
18289s | but it's just 2.6 meters away with a |
18291s | minute 25 left to go but he definitely |
18293s | survived I think Mayhem also play that |
18295s | one very safe as well they didn't really |
18296s | want to get engaged directly on top of |
18298s | Mayhem so it rained rather |
18300s | and they couldn't sort of |
18302s | sort of force these ultimates come to |
18303s | result it looked like they wanted to |
18305s | play patient for the ultimate so they |
18306s | knew they were ahead but because they |
18307s | lose that fight rain catch up and |
18308s | Hawking particularly gets himself an |
18310s | ultimate in that one fight |
18312s | okay rushby Rush the beat still held by |
18315s | an ammo he's gonna go ahead and drop |
18316s | that one in OG 10 away from him |
18318s | instantly get taken down hydron up onto |
18321s | The High Ground |
18322s | manages to snipe out one and that is it |
18325s | they Zone Hawk back the push comes |
18327s | through the Florida Mayhem will be able |
18329s | to make it happen here in the Extra |
18331s | Innings and we do not have a series on |
18333s | our hands it is yet another instance of |
18336s | three OverWatch as the Florida Mayhem |
18338s | will keep themselves here in the upper |
18339s | bracket Atlanta Reign now gonna have to |
18341s | Duke it out down and dirty in the lowers |
18343s | and it's the Florida Mayhem in the 10th |
18345s | seed a play-ins team that takes down the |
18348s | Atlanta rank coming at the seventh seed |
18349s | as well |
18350s | and if you're really 900a Cube if you're |
18352s | a really big brain you're probably |
18353s | thinking oh I guess we'll have to rain |
18355s | low breaker right that makes a lot of |
18356s | sense this is where they're strong maybe |
18358s | they just lost on purpose of killers |
18359s | gotta get sent down low brightness early |
18361s | so they can just make the powerful run |
18362s | through it's like the 2021 playoffs all |
18364s | over because they got to the finals from |
18366s | being dropped to the lower bracket last |
18368s | year maybe they could do it again but I |
18369s | still got to say I think this is an |
18371s | upset from All We Gather from the four |
18373s | domain but they're a good team they're a |
18375s | great team but they were underprepared |
18377s | coming into play-offs given they had to |
18378s | play the play-ins patch instead very |
18380s | limited scrims as said from their team |
18382s | and they come through and they freezer |
18384s | they land to right hydron has a |
18386s | fantastic game someone is all amazing on |
18388s | that Winston on the Atlanta Reign they |
18391s | tried some different stuff we saw some |
18393s | Arista coming through from Hawk we saw |
18394s | the Bastion as well we saw the Ryan at |
18396s | one stage |
18397s | but they end up not winning any of that |
18399s | they don't take any rounds on Lee Jung |
18401s | couple of potential mistakes there from |
18403s | my POV I think on guarded specifically |
18406s | and then the other maps I mean close |
18409s | Affairs like you've got to say for |
18410s | junkertown at least we get to a time |
18412s | back but even when you look at the |
18413s | difference in the time back it's about |
18414s | three minutes to the one minute the |
18417s | Flora Mayhem has just so much more extra |
18419s | they can work through they're allowed to |
18420s | lose more fights on that a point time |
18423s | back and they do but they could come |
18424s | back in have another shot and that shot |
18426s | gets the victory |
18429s | well I said it before there was one man |
18431s | who really kind of put the team on his |
18432s | back especially in those those first two |
18434s | maps even though the rest of the team |
18436s | was playing absolutely incredibly he |
18437s | just went above and beyond that is our |
18439s | player of the match in hydron who just |
18441s | had an absolute whale of a time playing |
18444s | the sojourn the whole way throughout |
18448s | 10 000 damage per 10 over the course of |
18450s | the three maps and I think on |
18451s | specifically uh final blows pretend |
18453s | King's Row he had 13 000 damage pertain |
18456s | so uh that particular map was so damn |
18459s | good we talked about Lee Jong already |
18460s | had the 73 charge Sean accuracy on that |
18463s | one 10 final blows but 10 by the way is |
18465s | a really good Benchmark for a player |
18466s | that means obviously you had a lot to |
18469s | work through and that stat line |
18471s | specifically as well I mean last year we |
18473s | looked over the course for the entire |
18474s | season only one player averaged 10 out |
18477s | of 10 BattleBots but 10 that was leave |
18478s | he was the MVP that's obviously over the |
18480s | course of the entire season though but |
18481s | really sets the stage as a bit of a |
18483s | standard that if you can get that in a |
18485s | single map then you're kind of hitting |
18486s | that level that's the level you want to |
18488s | be at as a DPS player but I think we saw |
18490s | the impact here even saw it on the |
18491s | Widowmaker by the way as well seapoint |
18493s | defense jungle type automaker you're |
18494s | certainly eight point attack instant |
18496s | headshot into OG Atlanta rain |
18498s | didn't respect the possibility of a |
18500s | Widowmaker they got punished for that |
18502s | um |
18503s | but how much impact does it look the |
18506s | first pledge I think multiple times on |
18508s | King 12 first flight coming up |
18511s | yeah I just at every twist and turn I |
18514s | mean there was times where it seemed |
18515s | like Atlanta rain had the great had |
18516s | great positioning seemed like they had |
18518s | things under control and then all of a |
18519s | sudden uh hydron just came down off the |
18521s | top rope out of nowhere just dropped in |
18522s | with an overclock dropped in with a rail |
18523s | shot and was able to start really |
18525s | turning the tides of these fights I just |
18528s | didn't quite get heated up into the kai |
18531s | that we know he can be on that sojourn |
18533s | play it was a little bit rough around |
18534s | the edges uh for him and for the rest of |
18536s | the Atlanta Reign so very well done here |
18538s | from the side of the Florida Mayhem but |
18539s | rain will have to keep an eye on them |
18540s | like you said maybe this is that that |
18542s | intentional loss to them to be able to |
18544s | have that strong lower bracket run as |
18546s | they often do but a lot of questions how |
18549s | are they going to look moving forward |
18550s | into their future series are they going |
18552s | to continue to run Hawk here in every |
18554s | single situation or will we seem to see |
18556s | Gator because we had that question at |
18557s | the beginning of this match and at the |
18560s | end of it all he was uh you know Gator |
18561s | was not found today or nft for short |
18563s | whichever one you want to use but we'll |
18565s | have to see if they're going to be |
18566s | bringing him out in the future |
18567s | yeah I'll look forward to it great job |
18570s | by the Florida Mayhem a second upset of |
18572s | the day |
18574s | there it is and uh yet again another 3-0 |
18576s | but we have one more match to try to |
18578s | stop that from happening maybe we can |
18579s | actually have a series maybe we can see |
18581s | some back and forth brawling we'll have |
18583s | to just wait and see what happens if we |
18584s | get ready to go into that fourth and |
18586s | final one of the evening but we're gonna |
18587s | go to a quick little break and then the |
18589s | desk will break down this third match |
18591s | for you when we return so don't go |
18592s | anywhere |

18885s | team The Edge today |
18886s | thank you I mean I don't know we're just |
18889s | like really good in this meta and we |
18891s | just pulled it out |
18893s | just really good man pull it out oh yeah |
18894s | well I want to know like were you |
18897s | expecting Atlanta to throw some of these |
18899s | strange pics at you obviously they came |
18900s | out and played a Reinhardt Fashion on |
18902s | one of the rounds how did you deal with |
18904s | that I mean I didn't play that mob but |
18906s | like our team just like |
18908s | adopted I guess |
18910s | right so some clean adapters |
18914s | all right so asking more about kiriko |
18917s | then because you did play some kuriko in |
18918s | this series uh of course I mean we |
18920s | should ask a couple of questions about |
18922s | this hero in general now you're known |
18924s | for being a bit of an aggressive player |
18925s | so first off I just want to ask does |
18927s | your team ever tell you to like heal |
18929s | more no like they just let me play the |
18931s | game and do myself yeah that's okay I |
18934s | just hit my shots and go away all right |
18936s | well how comfortable are you feeling on |
18938s | the hero obviously very limited practice |
18939s | heading into this tournament how do you |
18942s | personally feel it do you think you're |
18943s | quite good at it I mean I played like |
18944s | crying like 20 hours in the hero and |
18946s | I've been grinding a lot where I like |
18948s | the team playing in playing so |
18951s | under here like really fits my playstyle |
18954s | since like I play aggressive yeah and it |
18956s | shows and it worked out for you and your |
18958s | team so we're gonna let you get back to |
18960s | celebrate and prepare for your matches |
18962s | tomorrow thank you so much for joining |
18963s | us and good luck in your next match |
18964s | thank you for having me of course now |
18966s | let's break the action down it didn't |
18968s | even break his sweat he just he seems so |
18970s | casual I was like I played 20 hours |
18973s | you know all right it's great for them |
18976s | but yeah that boats well for the rest of |
18978s | the playoffs great the other team's hard |
18980s | grinding going into so much strategy and |
18982s | so much I was like yeah I just just |
18984s | played her a little bit she's pretty |
18985s | good you know one morning I just woke up |
18986s | and then I was a really good then I |
18988s | chose violence exactly that's how it |
18991s | goes let's discuss uh this match though |
18993s | actually let's start with something you |
18995s | just mentioned in the interview |
18997s | um Atlanta did thrill of you people |
18999s | questionable picks maybe add them uh |
19002s | were they just like the aspiration picks |
19003s | or was there you think strategy involved |
19005s | well we uh we posed this question |
19007s | heading into this match of what are the |
19009s | Atlanta rain going to play because |
19011s | they've been wanting to lean on Hawk but |
19013s | Gator is that Winston player for them so |
19015s | we get the answer that they are gonna |
19016s | play Hawk on that Winston but at certain |
19019s | times he's trying to do something a |
19021s | little different to throw the opposition |
19022s | off guard you know they played that |
19024s | Reinhardt fashion we even saw a little |
19026s | bit of doomfist a little bit of erisa |
19027s | from Hawk as well but someone just |
19029s | really had his number in terms of |
19031s | quickly adapting to deal with that uh |
19033s | Hawk had some good moments I don't think |
19035s | it was a big just main tank difference |
19037s | in this matchup but Florida Mayhem |
19039s | looking very comfortable in this matter |
19040s | with once again hydron stepping up to an |
19043s | even higher level oh yeah I mean hydron |
19046s | was absolutely popping off in this |
19047s | series as well we did hype up the Kai |
19049s | versus hide on match up as the matchup |
19051s | to look out for in this series in |
19053s | particular because we respect the |
19054s | Atlanta Reign when it comes to their |
19056s | damage players I was on speedly in the |
19058s | mix of course and Nero here on the |
19059s | reaper as well but also the backline |
19060s | ultraviolet and OG that's one of the |
19062s | best backlines in the game but the big |
19063s | question mark was the tank player Hawk |
19065s | now playing Winston formerly known as a |
19068s | diva player doomfist stuff like that |
19070s | right how are they going to adapt uh but |
19071s | hydron he stepped up when he came to the |
19073s | damage roll as well giving Florida mayor |
19075s | an additional win condition that they so |
19077s | desperately need when they face top |
19079s | teams like the Atlanta Reign for example |
19081s | someone on the Winston I thought he was |
19083s | spectacular this is what he's really |
19085s | known for this is his best hero he's at |
19087s | a breakout rookie season 44th Amendment |
19089s | if you take a look at the stats in this |
19091s | matchup 8.1 the final goes on for 10 |
19094s | minutes as a Winston like are you |
19096s | kidding me 8.1 4.6 Primal Rage kills per |
19099s | 10 minutes as well you know a bit of a |
19100s | bit of a good way blade kind of Primal |
19102s | blade finger you're just gonna keep |
19103s | saying that aren't you yeah |
19106s | the energy the Anaheim he's just |
19108s | channeling Primal blades yeah I love it |
19109s | but this could really be the tournament |
19111s | where we go that someone is just like |
19113s | you know an average above average gonna |
19115s | thank player to like |
19117s | actually like a great fantastic tank |
19119s | player being able to contest with some |
19121s | of the best tank players around the |
19123s | league maybe not smurfing fearless and |
19124s | hunting level are you a doubter the |
19126s | doubter maybe I'm a doubter I'm just |
19128s | saying someone on his best hero on |
19129s | Winston here in this tournament he could |
19131s | really make a name for himself so I'm |
19133s | keeping my eyes on the Fordham man and |
19134s | someone to really Elevate their play and |
19136s | make a name for themselves throughout |
19137s | this week yeah I'm excited to see more |
19140s | from that team now if we're looking at |
19141s | the I find the rain though moving |
19143s | forward do you guys feel like leaving |
19146s | hawk in as uh taking up that Winston |
19149s | role is the right move to do because |
19150s | yeah it allows more flexibility uh if |
19153s | they want to switch to other tanks but |
19154s | does that make sense in what we suspect |
19157s | to be the meta or would you rather have |
19159s | gator who is a very a very good uh |
19162s | Winston in my opinion it's too late to |
19164s | switch the gator if they've already made |
19165s | that decision to play Hawk that means |
19167s | that they've played a lot of their |
19168s | scrims with him being in the lineup |
19169s | maybe they just move away from Hawk |
19172s | trying to play a lot of different wacky |
19173s | things like speedily on that Bastion him |
19175s | on that Reinhardt and just stick to the |
19177s | win said it's not that bad it is |
19179s | definitely not going to be their winning |
19180s | Factor but if he can just at least go |
19182s | even with some of these other guys it |
19183s | could be a good thing end at the end of |
19185s | the day let's remember it's the Atlanta |
19186s | raid you know Atlanta Reign loves to go |
19189s | on these long runs through the lower |
19190s | bracket they've done it this season they |
19191s | did it last season yeah through the |
19193s | lower bracket to make it to the Grand |
19194s | Final so you know never count them out |
19196s | absolutely and we certainly hope to see |
19200s | that happening or I certainly I'm not |
19201s | going to speak for everyone I am I'm |
19202s | still an implantic fan even though I |
19204s | didn't predict them for this one uh you |
19206s | did however so you were wrong |
19207s | congratulations we're playing three or |
19210s | OverWatch and I am currently Owen three |
19212s | on the desk so I'm not sticking with |
19213s | theme yeah no I I love the commitments |
19215s | commit to the bits that's what Costa is |
19217s | known for I do want to preview our last |
19220s | match of the day Houston Outlaws will |
19223s | face off against a Toronto defiant and |
19225s | first I want to take a look at who needs |
19228s | to level it up and leveling up presented |
19230s | by Butterfinger who you got your eyes on |
19232s | I have to look at Dante because once |
19235s | again this man is going to have to level |
19237s | up for the Houston Outlaws because if |
19239s | they are going to rely on him to be |
19241s | their tank player which you know he has |
19243s | been a staple in the same way that Hawk |
19244s | is he's gonna have to learn another hero |
19247s | so Dante you've been collecting The |
19249s | Infinity Gauntlet of tank Heroes we saw |
19251s | him earlier on in the season picking up |
19253s | the new doomfist playing very well and |
19255s | we're like oh you know he's a DPS player |
19257s | of course he knows how to play doomfist |
19258s | but then we had junker Queen come out he |
19260s | played incredibly on that junker queen |
19262s | as well for them in the summer Showdown |
19264s | he played some Zaire in the countdown |
19266s | cup as well like just look at these stat |
19267s | cards he's very good at what he does but |
19270s | this is a completely different beast in |
19272s | the Winston Johnny you are a tank player |
19274s | you played a lot of Winston do you |
19276s | genuinely think Dante could come into |
19278s | this lineup in the playoff play the |
19280s | Winston and play it at the level he |
19281s | needs to play |
19283s | there's nothing Dante can't do |
19294s | Winston |
19296s | is it going to be World beating |
19299s | I don't know about that but I'm just |
19301s | saying if Dante comes out and play |
19302s | Winston I wouldn't be surprised yeah |
19304s | absolutely all right I I hear that |
19307s | there's something I dodged that question |
19308s | heavily |
19309s | around that very professionally that was |
19312s | the most awkward skirting around the |
19314s | place whatever yeah I don't know I I |
19316s | somehow felt like there was a tiny |
19318s | little spark of faith in adanta Winston |
19321s | yeah the tiny Sparkle look he played |
19324s | Diva there they look great people clown |
19326s | on him for his Diva doing goat smell and |
19328s | don't they look good in the Sombra so if |
19330s | he come out to Winston you know do a |
19331s | little bit of Leaping napping raging |
19334s | punching you know zapping you know what |
19336s | I'm talking about very easy to do yeah |
19338s | everyone can play Winston yeah come on |
19340s | just do the dumb thing I'll say this |
19342s | what did the numbers say though the |
19344s | numbers yeah what do the numbers say map |
19346s | wise oh map wise my papers here uh yeah |
19349s | this this is a fun fact for you and I |
19352s | didn't know this going into the stuff |
19353s | Houston Outlaws is the best team we have |
19356s | in the league on control Maps really |
19358s | yeah 7 50 win rate on control maps that |
19361s | is the Houston Outlaws for you so you |
19363s | guys know why that is funny because |
19364s | there used to be like that used to be |
19366s | their Kryptonite yeah I cannot tell you |
19368s | how many of those are in map five but no |
19371s | last season didn't they lose every |
19372s | single controller was that so that was a |
19374s | weird start like that was that last |
19376s | season of the Season before that's |
19377s | probably shock you're thinking that I |
19378s | was like oh we lose some control but |
19380s | then you're like well yeah |
19381s | okay someone help me out so he is |
19383s | changing that's already happened no |
19387s | certain oh man why did I say that yeah |
19389s | but um I can't back you up so all I can |
19393s | say is Houston Outlaws today in this |
19396s | series that's about happened |
19398s | you need to do well on control okay if |
19401s | you can get to map five statistically |
19403s | you're good in control all right so in |
19405s | many ways you know in our butter finger |
19407s | segments I could say this is the bread |
19408s | and butter |
19409s | hell so you make it get us out of here |
19412s | anyway let's take a look at our prayers |
19414s | to get out of that one |
19416s | um |
19418s | Danny picking Toronto that's that's |
19420s | great it's on brand honestly that is on |
19422s | brand it's Johnny okay you defend this |
19424s | Royal defiant Pig because they should be |
19426s | more comfortable in this matter with |
19427s | these coming back into the line look |
19428s | I've just abandoned all like prior like |
19431s | like results like if you're a great team |
19433s | in like 2020 I'm like I don't care |
19436s | anymore like I really don't care are you |
19437s | good today this week well to run to the |
19440s | fight they have Muse I'd argue that he's |
19442s | almost like a top five top six Winston |
19444s | when it comes to the lineup we have here |
19446s | in this week |
19447s | um so yeah I think Muse is gonna do |
19448s | fantastic for this team I'm looking |
19449s | forward to see Toronto be a bit more |
19451s | comfortable you know Winston dive meta |
19453s | he's too on the surgeon maybe so yes |
19455s | Houston Outlaws they've had the better |
19457s | season so far but in this meta they own |
19459s | Winston I'm going with Toronto all right |
19461s | I'm looking out for that Wednesday or |
19464s | Dunstan no stop just |
19471s | the game |
19473s | good fine just for you Jonathan let's |
19476s | get that last match going in once more |
19478s | we're gonna toss over to our cancers |
19479s | Avril and kill us |
19486s | thank you very much Zoe and the desk |
19489s | wants more I like this is it feels weird |
19491s | because this is probably the closest |
19492s | that we've had to face-to-face |
19494s | Communication in years at this point but |
19497s | it's good to see everybody they're on |
19500s | site in Anaheim which we can do the same |
19502s | but we're gonna be doing our best from |
19504s | our little remote setup that we got |
19506s | going on here we hope that you guys have |
19507s | been enjoying the games as much as |
19508s | myself and Avril have been but we uh |
19511s | would enjoy things a little bit more if |
19512s | we could have some close series and |
19513s | perhaps this one here the defiant versus |
19515s | The Outlaws can be the Difference Maker |
19517s | maybe not we can stop this three |
19518s | OverWatch Shenanigans read that we've |
19520s | been seeing I mean we're already 3-0 on |
19522s | three O's so you know why don't we just |
19524s | push a little bit further here uh who's |
19525s | gonna get the 3-0 though I mean which |
19527s | but why don't we just call out the first |
19528s | map because then you know the rest of |
19529s | the map two and three will probably go |
19531s | the same way right who knows at this |
19532s | stage it's been a wild day so far some |
19535s | really interesting results that I think |
19537s | most people did predict I'd be |
19538s | interested now if uh Sean could update |
19541s | everyone maybe on his Twitter or |
19542s | whatever like how many out out of the 20 |
19544s | remaining people have had a perfect |
19546s | bracket after the Shanghai spa game how |
19549s | many of those 20 people left Silver |
19550s | Perfect brackets does anybody have |
19552s | perfect bracket will anybody still have |
19554s | a perfect bracket after today is it |
19556s | already over I mean that that could be |
19557s | the case |
19559s | I mean there still is there's still a |
19561s | pricing rate for the people who have the |
19562s | closest uh to perfect brackets at the |
19565s | end of it all so whoever has the |
19566s | mathematically closest to be one of |
19567s | those one out of those 20 people some |
19569s | money that way so they can split 29 |
19570s | somebody out of those 20. so if you |
19572s | weren't in that 20 remaining I think all |
19574s | of us are out of the cash it's too late |
19577s | not me but uh yeah it is what it is I've |
19579s | only gotten one prediction correct so |
19581s | far as far as the match winner is |
19583s | concerned I'll tell you I'll tell you |
19584s | right as well by the way |
19586s | the the prolific cursor of the of the |
19589s | predictions he's got an all three wrong |
19590s | so fast everyone that he thought was |
19592s | going to win ended up losing and he |
19594s | thinks Houston is going to win so I |
19595s | think Houston might be in trouble here |
19598s | well we'll have to just wait and see |
19600s | what happens but first we'll go ahead |
19602s | and introduce the other team that is |
19603s | going to be in this series and that is |
19605s | the Toronto defiant and then we'll make |
19606s | their way out onto the stage and take |
19608s | their seats and get ready to do battle |
19610s | yeah trying to find her to battle their |
19612s | way through plans much like the Florida |
19614s | Mayhem who just came out with a huge |
19617s | Victory so you know maybe but a lack of |
19620s | play time on the patch but it certainly |
19621s | didn't affect Florida versus uh eight |
19624s | Lance in their match will it affect |
19625s | they're trying to Define Now versus the |
19628s | Houston Outlaws it's a team that had to |
19630s | get past uh seems like Boston Uprising |
19633s | and Washington they did that pretty |
19634s | comfortably and now as we head into the |
19636s | Winston patch Muse comes back in and |
19638s | look at playwrights between moves and |
19640s | Hopper it's been about 70 news |
19643s | so it's 70 hot but 30 News so far this |
19646s | year so not that much news all things |
19647s | considered I think you played early on |
19649s | the Google flash didn't get that much |
19650s | game time the rest of the year because |
19651s | we started moving into more of an |
19653s | off-tank meta |
19654s | um but the the main talking point has to |
19657s | be Houston because I think today it's |
19659s | it's very likely going to be a he suit |
19660s | versus Merit Showdown two fantastic |
19663s | surgeon plays |
19666s | all right well on the opposite side of |
19669s | this stage it's the people looking to |
19671s | upset the bad patchy Mario curse perhaps |
19673s | it's the Houston Outlaws let's see if |
19675s | they can keep themselves in the upper |
19677s | bracket by taking down for the fire |
19681s | you shouldn't have had |
19683s | a bit of an up and down Journey so far |
19685s | this year but all things considered |
19687s | coming through sixth seed |
19690s | pretty successful season for the Houston |
19692s | Outlaws when you look at the five-year |
19694s | history |
19695s | LED mostly I think uh as a I don't know |
19699s | if you would say a surprise standout but |
19701s | darn thing on the tank I would say maybe |
19703s | supplies the fact that everyone expects |
19704s | them to have a DPS yeah and he comes out |
19706s | as the tank play this does answer |
19708s | another question as well right is doe |
19710s | gonna be coming in because he is also a |
19712s | tank player who has that Winston airport |
19713s | but it's got to be Dante I think dog is |
19715s | actually in Anaheim as well uh what is |
19717s | Dante play though because we needed to |
19719s | ask this question of Hawk from Atlanta |
19720s | just one match ago is Hawk gonna be the |
19723s | guy playing the Winston and here I think |
19725s | Dante's gonna have to play the Winston |
19727s | because if he doesn't Doom I don't think |
19729s | it's going to be good enough Euro to |
19730s | break through you're not playing the |
19731s | Jungle Queen obviously so Dante's here |
19733s | report is pretty limited I think of the |
19734s | zarya is out of the question here as |
19736s | well so that's got to be the biggest |
19738s | challenge for me I also am very keen for |
19740s | this backline challenge as well between |
19742s | the kariko players |
19744s | um but the key matchup for me at the end |
19746s | of the day is still going to be the sort |
19747s | of Merit versus Houston battle I think |
19749s | you know potentially the top two players |
19751s | on both teams have had such great |
19753s | results specifically on surgeon he issue |
19755s | has been such a hard carry for 200 to |
19757s | find in some of the worst moments he's |
19759s | been the North Star |
19763s | see what happens is we get ready to go |
19765s | into this as well as what the map said |
19766s | is going to be as per usual it'll be the |
19769s | highest seed having to select for the |
19771s | initial control map and then from there |
19773s | the loser will pick and so far that has |
19776s | not been a boon for any of the teams who |
19778s | have lost the first map because of the |
19779s | three zeros that we have seen so perhaps |
19781s | that will be a little bit different this |
19783s | time around we can see Busan will be |
19785s | kicking things off for us and then from |
19787s | there is just all up to make up who is |
19791s | able to you know win this |
19794s | and so far the trend has been |
19796s | this is maybe debatable but to me at |
19798s | least the trend has been a little bit of |
19799s | the or not just the matter I was going |
19802s | to mention in terms of Winston |
19803s | performances generally speaking so far |
19805s | today the team with the more experience |
19807s | when it's in play or you could even |
19808s | argue the better Winston player has also |
19810s | come out on top |
19811s | um that definitely seemed pretty good in |
19812s | the last matchup between someone and and |
19815s | Hawk where you know someone's had a ton |
19817s | of experience on the Winston one of his |
19819s | main Heroes |
19820s | um and Hulk just doesn't have that same |
19822s | experience down takes very much in the |
19824s | same boat as Hawking he's got up against |
19825s | the Muse who's played this hero for |
19827s | years right at the professional level uh |
19830s | despite news not having had a lot of |
19831s | game time on his team this year compared |
19833s | to his teammate in in Hopper that's |
19835s | maybe the only downside right someone |
19836s | had a as he's been starting the entire |
19838s | time Adam didn't see a look at him time |
19840s | whereas on the defined side they've been |
19842s | trading tank positions mostly favoring |
19843s | Hopper so uh could there be a downside |
19846s | to now swapping tanks late in the season |
19848s | and having a team sort of re-gel with a |
19850s | different tank player compared to the |
19852s | one they're playing 70 of the time that |
19854s | might be something they're trying to |
19855s | have to work through but aside from that |
19857s | I think Muse could back himself |
19858s | mechanically that's that's important |
19863s | pressure |
19864s | mounting here for these players to get |
19866s | ready to jump into the action so we |
19869s | already saw Busan going to be kicking |
19871s | things off we'll see if there's going to |
19872s | be any variants but by just thinking |
19874s | about you know pretty much all three of |
19876s | those |
19877s | intermaps or those sub Maps the Winston |
19880s | likely going to be seen so I don't think |
19881s | we're going to see any differentiation |
19882s | in that regard but then again I again I |
19885s | also was not anticipating to see the |
19887s | right questions |
19889s | I think you know maybe hold your breath |
19891s | a little bit for Mecca base possibility |
19893s | of something like an orisa coming on |
19894s | through erisa's kind of like the I |
19897s | wouldn't say she's one to one with zarya |
19898s | but if you want to try something more |
19899s | bizarre style she's probably close |
19902s | um possibility for Ryan but I would only |
19904s | see Toronto playing the right I don't |
19905s | know if Dante would really do that so |
19907s | because Dante's circle is a little bit |
19909s | more limited in that kind of way because |
19910s | you know Hawks at least played a bit |
19912s | more in the tank roll I mean we'll see |
19914s | Dante has been again uh a surprisingly |
19917s | strong factor for the team given that |
19919s | he's not previously really a tank player |
19921s | I know he played Diva like a million |
19923s | years ago but we're talking about like |
19924s | you know recent Pro game time |
19926s | um that is still going to be important |
19927s | factor I'm also looking towards creative |
19929s | the new member of The Outlaws as some of |
19933s | the criticism laid towards creative is |
19934s | that he's mostly an Anna player right |
19936s | what is the rest of his hairball look |
19937s | like does it really match up so now |
19939s | we're in a very heavy kariko manner what |
19941s | is Korea creative's critical look like |
19943s | because we know Twilight is an extremely |
19946s | experienced player so that's one of us |
19948s | creative match it could be interesting |
19949s | as well |
19950s | it's all going to be interesting but |
19952s | we're going to have to wait a little bit |
19954s | longer to get into it as you can see |
19955s | you've got an admin out on stage |
19956s | something to take care of on the side of |
19957s | the Toronto Define it I do think so |
19959s | we're gonna have a quick little break |
19960s | and then when we come out to come back |
19962s | we should be able to jump into the |
19963s | action so don't go anywhere guys just |
19965s | quick little one we'll see you in just a |

20149s | things underway here in just a brief |
20152s | little moment |
20155s | sitting the stage everything should be |
20157s | prepared as we get ready to kick off our |
20160s | final series of the first day of the |
20162s | playoffs and it's already been a very |
20165s | interesting one given the one-sidedness |
20167s | that we have seen in all of the series |
20169s | so far I've been a couple teams being |
20171s | able to fight back but no one being able |
20172s | to take Maps away from the inevitable |
20175s | winners here's just a brief little |
20176s | reminder that we won't be kicking things |
20178s | off on Busan and then from there the |
20180s | loser will be selecting for hyper |
20183s | match history between these two teams so |
20185s | far as well as they played five times |
20187s | over the 2022 season |
20189s | and the record stands at three to two in |
20191s | favor of Toronto but most interestingly |
20193s | two out of those wins came somewhat |
20196s | recently one of them was Toronto |
20197s | literally knocking out Houston from uh |
20200s | Toronto's own event in the summer |
20201s | Showdown |
20202s | and then there was the I believe for the |
20204s | final match in the regular season for |
20206s | the countdown comes to 3-1 victory for |
20207s | Toronto so they have that to work |
20210s | through |
20210s | um which makes things very competitively |
20213s | I think you know you would most likely |
20215s | look at this as a Houston favorite |
20217s | matchup but given that tomorrow has |
20218s | beaten them fairly recently becomes hard |
20221s | to say |
20224s | well it is going to be Mecca base to |
20227s | kick things off for us |
20228s | [Music] |
20230s | you're mentioning maybe we see something |
20231s | a little bit different here on this |
20233s | particular sub map we'll have to just |
20235s | wait and see as the gates get ready to |
20236s | open it for now Dante gonna be hovering |
20240s | over on that Arisa |
20244s | it's that week 24 game 3-1 for decline |
20248s | pretty much the same play as a minus |
20249s | amuse plus hot butt different meta we |
20252s | were seeing a little Sombra from Houston |
20254s | back then as well but still mostly the |
20257s | piece of sojin |
20259s | Zary emitter back then Dante had a |
20261s | fantastic Zara even outplayed the fuel |
20263s | and outplayed ham but at one stage |
20265s | he's hovered over the wrist and that's |
20267s | something to talk about right I could |
20268s | once again kind of like tease the |
20270s | possibility of a that megabase could |
20272s | have some flexibility for different |
20274s | picks and that one of the picks that |
20275s | could come through is actually gonna be |
20277s | the risk it seems like Dante wants to |
20279s | bring that through it's also creative on |
20281s | a map so a Lucio Babcock which is |
20283s | actually similar to what we saw in the |
20284s | last patch just instead of um these are |
20286s | you have the Arista because that was |
20288s | Lucia bath as well plus the actual uh |
20290s | Reaper which is great for the Winston |
20292s | but we used to see zarya Reaper in a |
20294s | composition you can't sort of bubble |
20295s | Pelican here but you can still do a lot |
20297s | of other stuff um to get aggressive |
20299s | build space for Pelican that will make a |
20301s | lot of sense here so yeah Toronto's |
20303s | gonna have to work this one out very |
20305s | quickly when they see it |
20308s | a lot of things that can happen once we |
20310s | uh get things ready which the readings |
20312s | are coming out into the chat right now |
20314s | so seems like a quick little turn around |
20316s | a little just Stutter Step pump the |
20318s | brakes |
20319s | on that pause and then now we can go |
20321s | back into it or go into it I should I |
20323s | should say since we haven't really done |
20325s | anything at all the doors are about to |
20327s | open as this timer will go ahead and |
20329s | count down and we finally get to jump |
20331s | into the action so there is some |
20333s | difference here is yeah creative goes |
20335s | out the game with the battle |
20336s | just a prolong Dante's life the |
20339s | longevity there super important you |
20340s | can't play the creature here is all that |
20342s | creative choice is gonna go towards that |
20344s | bat finale and who's taking a bit of |
20345s | damage early on |
20348s | get stunned up there by the spear as |
20350s | well for a brief in a moment he's down |
20351s | to half HP |
20352s | cool and Twilight do the damage trying |
20354s | to keep everybody alive but Houston was |
20355s | able to plan for his blood good real |
20356s | head shot across takes down Pelican not |
20359s | they will find toron for his troubles |
20360s | though so it's gonna be a DPS in |
20362s | exchange for a support at the end of it |
20363s | all |
20364s | team now on the blind trying to escape |
20367s | as quickly as they possibly can but they |
20368s | don't have that Lucio there to heal them |
20369s | they don't have that speed boost either |
20370s | they will still be able to successfully |
20372s | lock down the point first and foremost |
20374s | however |
20374s | ultimate |
20386s | yep just gorgeous from him you can see |
20389s | the Slowdown oh he's that one out |
20390s | patiently after he builds it up to 100 |
20392s | gets the head shot across on the last |
20394s | row |
20396s | trying to find now firmly in control |
20397s | pushing very far forward they should see |
20400s | that this is going to be okay from the |
20402s | Houston Outlaws I'll put you got a man |
20403s | yeah they're just gonna push in with a |
20405s | katuna rush it's hard to tell how far |
20406s | they can go the grave drops down the end |
20408s | make drinks |
20410s | trying to push back to defiant now |
20412s | let me clear that one off |
20423s | trying to keep them in this fuse down |
20426s | low eight percent away from having that |
20429s | that Primal Rage up but he keeps claimed |
20430s | in the end chore will die as well so it |
20432s | seems like after crested 50 Houston |
20434s | Outlaws should be able to get this flip |
20435s | into their favor so go ahead and gain |
20437s | control here I actually think it's |
20438s | dangerous which one would get aggressive |
20439s | like that because you're pushing into |
20440s | very small angles there and I was going |
20443s | to try and save the day with the death |
20444s | Blossom but it's just too little too |
20445s | late here they need to move still alive |
20447s | and he just have the Primal like you |
20448s | sort of mentioned there if you're the |
20450s | throne to find you have no risk of being |
20451s | sort of counter altered by a katuna rush |
20454s | on the other side creators playing Bap |
20455s | right in the window doesn't have the |
20457s | same value you also need space to work |
20459s | through to get value in the window so to |
20461s | write could have probably played that |
20462s | super patiently and allow the Houston |
20464s | Outlaws to come out and then use the |
20465s | kituna rush once Outlaw's actually |
20467s | committed there they just jump in and |
20468s | they instantly have to back out |
20480s | using his own overclock since we shut |
20483s | down he's so claims him in the end |
20485s | cleanup is there back into control he's |
20487s | trying to defiant regain control of the |
20489s | point they don't even lose the lead for |
20490s | it now at 60 we're talking about the |
20491s | Haitian versus Merit battle but it's |
20493s | been one-sided so far he's who's had |
20494s | some insane Valley Merit could not get |
20496s | his ultimate off the ground |
20498s | creatives in another position to use uh |
20500s | amp Matrix but again because you're on a |
20502s | bad period you have to find Windows of |
20504s | you know angles of life or you can't get |
20507s | that without map control they don't have |
20508s | any map control |
20510s | foreign |
20529s | does get cut down they find the tank |
20531s | they find finale well this is going to |
20534s | be the Houston Outlaws maybe find |
20535s | themselves with a flip here the last few |
20537s | seconds |
20550s | does get cut down a size a good rail |
20553s | shot across from Merit keeps the Houston |
20555s | Outlaws in this for at least a little |
20556s | bit longer the Flip's still not there |
20558s | but now they will be able to get it |
20559s | Dante pop seal won't find anything for |
20561s | his trouble but I think they'll be more |
20562s | than happy just to get in control of |
20564s | this point for now yeah the pressure |
20565s | coming on through though Dante forces |
20567s | and extra ultimate there Outlaws ended |
20569s | up paying quite a bit I think if Muse |
20571s | doesn't uh sorry Truong doesn't die |
20574s | there Toronto Divine just went off for |
20576s | twice because he got last throw down no |
20578s | sound there for the Houston Outlaws if |
20579s | the deflects pull trigger Charles just |
20581s | used the beat that's a 5v4 with the beat |
20583s | I mean tomorrow can skip the 100. |
20585s | incredible counter trade marriage rail |
20588s | shot coming on through to equalize if |
20590s | that doesn't happen this map's over |
20593s | escapes there and now he's gonna back on |
20595s | the offensive Houston stuck in the |
20597s | corner needs to get to appeal goes out |
20598s | of 15 HP sound barrier is used but he |
20600s | does not receive it Merit he's able to |
20602s | pursue to get the elimination in the end |
20603s | time Vera now out from Houston Outlaws |
20605s | just looking to save off the few |
20606s | remaining members of the Toronto to defy |
20608s | him he's gonna work a treat for them |
20609s | maybe a bit of an over commitment in the |
20611s | end but either way they win the fight |
20613s | and now they're looking to take the |
20614s | round and it's getting sloppy for |
20615s | Toronto now because they're not getting |
20617s | full values on the sound barriers you |
20619s | have he's getting called out as well 99 |
20621s | about to be found for outlaws and they |
20623s | can hold these chokes so Victory care |
20624s | Toronto even touch |
20628s | to try to but looks like they do barely |
20631s | meant to make it happen he's still |
20632s | finding one take it down now the damage |
20634s | deal is out of the fight for the side of |
20636s | Toronto Muse eliminated just five |
20637s | percent away from that Primal Rage |
20639s | Houston Outlaws |
20641s | berm on the retake will be able to |
20642s | maintain control this one as the OTP |
20644s | leads down there was no further hope |
20646s | found here even with Twilight alive |
20648s | doing things on the kiriko he's not |
20649s | gonna be able to drag them back in this |
20651s | position so it's 199 as Outlaws take |
20654s | Becca base for themselves and I think |
20656s | for outlaws as well they play well to |
20657s | their win conditions of something that |
20659s | the Arista does really well in the mega |
20660s | bases once you have map control and they |
20662s | didn't have that for a very long time as |
20664s | we get into another pause here is okay |
20667s | Dante does spin the extra uh terrorist |
20669s | surge he they do get their cap but then |
20671s | they get to sort of whole chokes and you |
20673s | can see how hard is which one to break |
20675s | out of those short calls it's much |
20676s | easier for Dante on the orisa from the |
20678s | Houston Outlaw side to break out when |
20679s | it's Toronto sort of camping those |
20681s | strokes but the opposite becomes very |
20682s | difficult for Toronto |
20684s | um and a very awkward fight from from |
20686s | that stage as well he should get slow |
20687s | Merit chases him down and Toronto still |
20690s | dropping sound barriers they still try |
20692s | and break out last show responds and |
20694s | they just send more to work through |
20696s | um some really good stuff coming through |
20697s | from Twilight that flank that we saw |
20699s | getting Pelican down was so good how |
20700s | ever the issue with that is Muse dies |
20703s | that would have been really good for |
20704s | Toronto if Muse doesn't also get traded |
20706s | because then Toronto get to hold the |
20708s | lead there Twilight should have probably |
20709s | a TP back a little bit sooner he tries |
20711s | to do your last row when you're the main |
20713s | source of healing you need to keep news |
20714s | up and Tyrone can't do that on his own |
20716s | so that's why I like to he does a good |
20718s | job doing damage but he got greedy there |
20722s | well |
20723s | again quick little thing to take care of |
20726s | and now we're back we'll take a replay |
20729s | take a look at a replay I should say |
20731s | daunting on the battle cattle |
20733s | we're sure if we were going to see it |
20735s | but we get it in the Yan and oh yeah |
20736s | okay that's interesting shutting down |
20738s | that death Blossom rather quickly great |
20741s | little reaction from him I will not die |
20743s | yeah that was a brilliant plane you just |
20745s | played the night of value |
20747s | so some very impressive stuff coming |
20749s | through so far okay that is a legitimate |
20751s | hog and that is going to be a another |
20753s | answer from the Houston Outlaws in terms |
20755s | of what they are going to end up playing |
20757s | now we have heard some Rumblings of the |
20759s | strength of uh what is the combo kariko |
20762s | hog right |
20763s | uh usually that's the kind of you know |
20765s | alleviate what an Anna would do to hog |
20767s | there's no Anna in this man apparently |
20768s | so you don't have that you still can do |
20771s | a lot to save Dante here he's gonna need |
20773s | to be really good at this one as well |
20776s | yeah he's through taking count first and |
20778s | foremost you're talking about the Tracer |
20780s | whether or not we're gonna see it we saw |
20781s | a little bit of it from Lee Jong in the |
20783s | first map but that was for time buying |
20784s | this is just straight up being pledged |
20786s | Pelican gets value out of it immediately |
20788s | First Lock onto the point is found |
20789s | Houston Outlaws in control |
20792s | needs to play really close to chess here |
20795s | with the DPS try and push white pelican |
20798s | that 120 damage head shot on the kunai |
20800s | by light really messes up Tracy gameplay |
20802s | here |
20810s | but it won't be counted by Souza |
20813s | come on one for one One support for the |
20815s | other but then Pelican again comes up |
20817s | big takes down Muse pulse bomb not |
20819s | really needed but still build one up |
20821s | rather quickly it would seems another to |
20825s | boot on the backhand just making sure |
20826s | that everyone cannot get out of there |
20827s | with his life intact this is huge from |
20829s | Pelican so far he's built a banalt |
20831s | through that one in there |
20832s | still gets killed doesn't matter that he |
20834s | didn't hit |
20835s | a Houston Outlaws they have the cap they |
20837s | hold strongly with the fact that if you |
20838s | want to dive in you're diving into Dante |
20840s | here meanwhile you're gonna be splitting |
20842s | up your team a little bit with Pelican |
20843s | harassing in the backline |
20845s | so it's been rutful that you wanted to |
20846s | find to find an entry here and now we |
20848s | have tuna Rush available on both sides |
20849s | just about |
20852s | gonna breather keeps himself alive |
20853s | pushes up tries to get Muse and he will |
20855s | there's the hook it's the pull on the |
20857s | tour off but cannot find the execution |
20858s | so he's still gonna be alive for now but |
20860s | Pelican again comes up big takes down |
20862s | Houston now playing so far forward just |
20865s | keeping the defiant locked back into the |
20867s | spawn room doors |
20869s | that's why I think was about 10 off |
20871s | there so I couldn't quite respond in |
20872s | time you use obviously doesn't have a |
20874s | Prime on trunk doesn't have the sound |
20875s | barrier so trying to fight had no real |
20877s | ability to counteract that creative |
20879s | katuno Rush the timing of it was just uh |
20881s | brilliant from The Outlaws |
20883s | and no matter what I mean Outlaws are |
20885s | going to be heading towards the 90s |
20886s | difficult to find Walking |
20889s | waiting for last year's bait rush comes |
20892s | out the beat gets dropped gets everybody |
20894s | on his team and Muse goes down |
20896s | pitches helps set up for the kill but |
20899s | Winston falling takes another breather |
20901s | okay yes a flip the hairline one there |
20904s | is the simpleton points in just a brief |
20905s | little moment so trying to find himself |
20907s | instead of a forward posture position |
20908s | but for how long do they hold oh it |
20911s | seems like not long at all Merritt with |
20913s | a great headshot takes down he Sue he |
20915s | gets Twilight to boot and that will be |
20917s | it they get the repos back into their |
20919s | favor the respawn still waiting but Muse |
20920s | is going to be an extended little |
20922s | stagger that should be them ticking up |
20925s | to a hundred with no one else able to |
20927s | touch 115 percent of dominance showing |
20929s | here on Sanctuary Houston Outlaws kick |
20932s | things off with a bang at 2-0 Victory as |
20934s | they take Busan I think there was some |
20936s | regretch there in the naked eggs from |
20937s | the Toronto side but from the you know |
20939s | when you look at Sanctuary that was just |
20941s | all the Houston Outlaws a hundred |
20943s | percent of the way Pelicans starting out |
20944s | in the early game a creative coming into |
20946s | the mid game around the 60 Mark of the |
20948s | katuna rush that will win you a fight |
20950s | and then you'll look towards Dante last |
20951s | year and the rest of them countering to |
20953s | Runner defines one good push |
20956s | let the 80 something 80 to 90 mark on |
20959s | the actual cap itself and the one um |
20961s | sort of interaction you have to remember |
20962s | is when you continue rush in as Twilight |
20964s | and they're trying to Define it Dante |
20966s | pops the whole hog and that just pushes |
20968s | everyone away so it kind of messes up |
20970s | with your ability to actually engage |
20972s | that fight properly and the fact that |
20974s | there's the extra Soundbar there from |
20975s | last show because because Toronto never |
20976s | got a chance to force any of these |
20978s | ultimates out I mean that's just huge |
20979s | get two members on Toronto at the end of |
20981s | that map at the end of that round of |
20983s | century who never got an ultimate finale |
20984s | amuse never got to use their ultimate |
20986s | the entire round |
20989s | I mean well it just continues to deliver |
20991s | right now the playoffs as far as the uh |
20993s | the picks in the matter that we are |
20994s | seeing we've got a actual use of the of |
20996s | the road hog and it works a treat for |
20999s | the side of the Houston Outlaws so |
21000s | another one checked off the list but a |
21003s | big win for them to kick things off |
21005s | nicely where the map went on but it's |
21007s | gonna be Matt pick now for Toronto to |
21009s | fight we'll see where they want to take |
21010s | us as we get ready to go into hybrid |
21012s | submitting a hell of a lot of Kings Row |
21014s | here today maybe let's boost it up a |
21016s | little bit but we'll find out when we |
21017s | come back for the break |

21272s | [Music] |
21278s | and we are back and ready to go into our |
21281s | second map here in our final series of |
21283s | the evening Houston Outlaws currently |
21285s | leading one zero three two zero Victory |
21288s | there on Busan we saw the roadhog come |
21290s | out on sanctuary and it worked a treat |
21292s | for them trying to defiant now needing |
21294s | to play off the back foot and see if |
21296s | they can tie things up one to one with |
21297s | their upcoming map pick on hybrid and I |
21300s | just uh went ahead and checked some of |
21301s | the Pickens on the OverWatch League app |
21303s | by the way make sure you get that uh and |
21306s | it actually tells you how many perfect |
21308s | Breakers remain apparently six are out |
21310s | of 20 that we had previously six remain |
21312s | in terms of perfect brackets we will see |
21314s | how many of those six are still |
21315s | remaining after this particular matchup |
21317s | how many people have got I think a lot |
21319s | of people probably do have Houston uh |
21321s | winning this one but by what score line |
21322s | we've had a 3-0 day for every other game |
21325s | it's just gonna be another 3-0 matchup |
21327s | one of the questions that still has yet |
21328s | to be answered for me here akilios is uh |
21331s | are we gonna see any Winston from Dante |
21333s | today so so far he's only played the |
21335s | erisa and the the hall he hasn't played |
21337s | any Winston maybe he hasn't had to play |
21339s | one so we didn't go to City Center maybe |
21341s | on City Center he would have been forced |
21342s | to we'll have to find out on map too if |
21344s | that ends up being the case |
21348s | that we will see where they want to take |
21351s | us as well to kick things off and then |
21353s | maybe get a better idea as far as what |
21355s | we can anticipate from |
21357s | he picks because already we've been |
21358s | shocked we've been surprised |
21360s | I'll tell you what right so for our |
21362s | hybrid map and on Paraiso I tell me I |
21365s | think you're gonna have to think about a |
21366s | Winston here because of The High Ground |
21367s | low ground verticality it's a very |
21369s | vertical map on that eight point |
21371s | especially uh maybe on the defense Dante |
21373s | could get away with playing a bit of hog |
21375s | something like a wrist set because I |
21376s | think defensively you start on The High |
21377s | Ground right but uh attacking wise I |
21379s | just don't think that would really work |
21380s | for you so this has got to probably push |
21383s | use a little bit great mattress coming |
21385s | through from Toronto |
21388s | all righty let's see if it's gonna be |
21390s | enough to uh drag it out of him or if |
21392s | Houston have something else up their |
21393s | sleeve that they want to try to surprise |
21395s | them with |
21398s | see what happens though is we do jump |
21399s | into this very colorful map fun fact |
21401s | about it they have some colorful |
21403s | gameplay to back it up one uh fun stat |
21405s | line that I have about Busan by the way |
21407s | as we move into map two uh daunting |
21409s | creative only had one death on that |
21411s | entire map so both players only died one |
21413s | time wow Tire Busan map across both |
21415s | rounds survive so that's kind of crazy |
21417s | well I think Dante didn't die a single |
21419s | time on |
21421s | Sanctuary right I don't think Korea died |
21423s | either they both would have died once on |
21425s | megabex |
21426s | and that's it yeah |
21429s | it's a great game but a good performance |
21433s | oh I mean you heard the desk coming into |
21435s | this saying that Dante needs to be one |
21438s | of the ones to really level up for |
21439s | Houston if they want to walk away |
21440s | Victorious and so far he has been |
21442s | looking good and so far he is going to |
21443s | be showing us that Winston he's got it |
21445s | covered up there in the spawn room and |
21448s | with limited time I don't think we're |
21449s | gonna be seeing a swap off |
21451s | full three yeah on the last patch you'd |
21455s | get away with zarya or Diva here here I |
21457s | think you kind of just have to play the |
21458s | Winston here it comes |
21461s | dancing I don't know what uh |
21465s | Dunstan |
21468s | checks him is it done for any 90s kids |
21470s | out there |
21471s | this is this one's so done |
21476s | Okay jump up |
21478s | back across I think he's gonna be able |
21480s | to find the first kill yep he's too |
21481s | gonna be taken down and drawing in a |
21483s | really bad spot gets zoned out doesn't |
21485s | lose his life but |
21486s | still it's gonna be out of position now |
21489s | cleanup continues to come through and |
21490s | Houston looked damn good here on the |
21491s | first attack should be the lock down to |
21493s | the point as jorong will fall that was |
21495s | so quick that was incredibly fast |
21496s | Toronto just lost all ground they |
21498s | started losing members no ability to |
21500s | trade |
21501s | significantly behind in some cases well |
21503s | not significantly but the Rings will |
21505s | amount behind at all charge of some |
21506s | players good to see that Twilight's kept |
21508s | up despite losing the first flight |
21509s | Twilight keeping up with creative means |
21512s | that they can at least have some counter |
21514s | play versus the consumer Rush coming on |
21515s | through |
21517s | Houston Outlets hind bank so far after |
21519s | capping a is looking pretty monstrous |
21521s | that was not at all contested by Toronto |
21525s | now very much looked absent there on the |
21527s | point |
21529s | well cart moving with a monstrous time |
21532s | Bank of over five minutes |
21535s | gonna be able to come up the works at |
21537s | all here for them and yeah doctor is low |
21539s | will get punished and now finally it's |
21541s | not the Defiance should be able to buy a |
21542s | little bit of space quick and then |
21543s | playing as far forward can come at risk |
21545s | as you see finale nearly losing his life |
21550s | what is what I do here that's the |
21551s | question right he holds the ultimate |
21553s | currently flash throws ahead of chorong |
21555s | though so if this goes a little bit |
21557s | longer Houston's just kind of light for |
21558s | the sound bear to be up they've all had |
21559s | that as Advantage we'll see if they have |
21561s | read what charon's on oh my God you |
21564s | can't afford that don't they go down |
21565s | again though |
21566s | no you cannot now last we're gonna be |
21568s | joining him in the graves finale he's |
21569s | able to scoop up two kills very quickly |
21571s | a shot from Merritt will be able to go |
21573s | ahead and get a punch on a key suit with |
21575s | a faster respawns closer response using |
21577s | Outlaws should be able to get some |
21578s | position back onto this cart to break |
21580s | through stop this forward defensive hold |
21582s | as Twilight uh okay he beat it into a |
21585s | bad position but they don't really have |
21585s | anybody there |
21586s | puts himself in a really precarious spot |
21591s | you'll see those you want to have so |
21594s | much respect for the fact that he's |
21595s | dying needs to have to pull back now the |
21597s | casino Rush coming through from creative |
21598s | Charon responds lashford goes as well |
21604s | getting into the back lines there |
21606s | Pelican trying to displace him off his |
21607s | cards to continue to inch forward here |
21609s | off the back of the sound barriers |
21610s | Shield |
21612s | could be that Blossom out now from the |
21613s | finale but he doesn't find anything for |
21615s | it's not even the final episode we'll go |
21616s | ahead and leave down Twilight Pelican |
21618s | drops the blossom in finds two both the |
21621s | damage dealers going to the side of the |
21622s | defiant Muse is nowhere to go get taken |
21625s | down by the overclock in the end still |
21627s | with a monster his time Bank Houston |
21628s | Outlaws will continue the push rounding |
21630s | the final Corner can we use respawn in |
21632s | time it's not looking likely he had |
21633s | Tyrone's not there for the speed boost |
21634s | either if Toronto want to touch this one |
21636s | they gotta go in right about now he's |
21639s | just trying to get there |
21640s | and finale or TP for it okay work |
21642s | Future's got the alt |
21646s | right |
21648s | dealt with |
21650s | three meters left to go here for the |
21651s | Outlaws that's gonna slow them up just a |
21653s | bit so some more time bought defending |
21655s | from here would be damn impressive from |
21658s | the Toronto defiant |
21659s | very defendable ball trying to regain to |
21661s | control over some of this High Ground |
21662s | yeah consider that all the ultimates are |
21664s | gone as Twilight suck Casino Rush is |
21665s | coming up next it was very expensive for |
21667s | the Houston Outlaws two flights to go |
21669s | five ultimate Spin and I would have said |
21671s | that was 100 worth if they got the cap |
21673s | but I want to manage to touch in time |
21675s | and they hold in time as well it's |
21677s | probably gonna save himself a Souza |
21678s | they'll get rid of the cartoon Rush |
21682s | coming through there's the rush to go on |
21685s | the aggressive trying to just get the |
21686s | shots across there on the Creator |
21688s | because man Dodge the majority of them |
21690s | but that's from Pelican still get gunned |
21692s | down to the end finale finding both of |
21694s | those limbs the cart now rolling back |
21696s | two and a half minutes remaining here |
21697s | for the Houston Outlaws still gonna be |
21699s | fairly respectable but the late little |
21701s | cleanup here is finale gets himself |
21703s | around the back and off the side of the |
21705s | map |
21706s | TP is there of course that try to stay |
21708s | safe I gotta mention this as well but |
21710s | you're wrong holding the sound barrier |
21711s | is huge for the Toronto fight because |
21712s | now when Credo drops down the Zone |
21714s | Casino rush trying to actually have a |
21716s | counter available they actually have uh |
21717s | you know resources to play through very |
21719s | different story I'm sure I had to |
21720s | actually use that |
21722s | so we talk about how like this we're |
21725s | defined to actually hold B I mean again |
21727s | this position is very defensive throwing |
21728s | now pop that number |
21731s | there it goes it's looking a little bit |
21732s | risky there for a moment okay shielding |
21735s | down that place I'm gonna get part of |
21737s | the finale to Falling In the End Merit |
21739s | finding a second kill with the overclock |
21741s | now rolling helps clean up views and |
21743s | with the team kill that will be then |
21744s | pushing through to point B so a minute |
21746s | and a half could be out of the time |
21747s | thanks to a decent amount of time to |
21749s | work with here is they have just over |
21750s | three minutes to get to the final |
21752s | stretch |
21753s | let's look at creative here this is just |
21755s | him keeping out safety I've never mind |
21757s | we're actually team fight going on |
21759s | so I believe this is actually live now |
21761s | yeah yeah we'll drop the replay |
21765s | I can tell you create a TP he lived I |
21768s | mean that's the end of that |
21770s | finale he dies here though |
21773s | he needs a little play but yeah I can |
21774s | pronounce this little poking prod from |
21777s | the side of the Outlaws finding one kill |
21778s | after the other |
21779s | just chaining these together is good for |
21781s | them to be able to get themselves into |
21782s | it and remember the final stretch you |
21784s | should walk into this point with real |
21785s | bits up because they didn't actually |
21786s | have to spend that much I think finale |
21787s | felt like he was going to get more value |
21789s | in the dead person than he actually got |
21790s | he doesn't get anything done on the |
21792s | v-point defense to Toronto |
21793s | didn't get to really hold that beat |
21795s | point in fact they don't even really get |
21797s | to burn a resource out of using out or |
21798s | to get to spend a primal for a team |
21800s | Fight Win |
21803s | now let's go to live versus this Rush |
21805s | last Crystal holding ultimate |
21807s | and he's gonna be heading for the hills |
21812s | pushing forward will be able to find |
21814s | Merritt on the end for a little bit of |
21815s | additional stagger so now they take the |
21816s | time back below two minutes threshold |
21819s | it's needed to be committed to that |
21821s | fight |
21822s | I mean ready to stack up four of their |
21824s | own you have to consider that just |
21825s | Toronto winning that fight though gives |
21827s | them so much map control now you just |
21828s | have to sort of re-push for that you're |
21831s | also putting the pressure on as well |
21834s | did you push quite far forward Pelican |
21835s | gets himself into the back we'll find |
21836s | Twilight for his troubles down low as |
21839s | well he's gonna be using the Primal |
21841s | keeps himself alive |
21842s | to find much else off the back end of it |
21844s | we'll have to just wait and save it |
21845s | lasts are now gonna be dropping the beat |
21846s | they want to get the punish they want to |
21847s | get this push going through he's out |
21849s | let's have a minute and a half remaining |
21850s | it's not his suit up here onto The High |
21852s | Ground tries to slide out of there but |
21854s | slides to his demise Merritt gets the |
21856s | kill finale going down good amount of |
21858s | space gonna be bought here for the side |
21859s | of the Houston Outlaws they should be |
21860s | able to get just about to the final |
21862s | Corner yes and a light Death Punch it's |
21864s | one of them as well that's actually |
21864s | gigantic hey perfect pick that's the |
21867s | Houston Outlaws now will have some |
21869s | unmitigated free push Toronto can't do |
21871s | much about this until they have all five |
21873s | alive and look at where the payload is |
21875s | Karina can just finish this one's on for |
21876s | The Rush |
21887s | him down finds views as well playing on |
21890s | the back of the continuing Rush |
21892s | beautifully and they will be able to get |
21894s | this push in the end with time in the |
21896s | bank 45 seconds remaining for the |
21898s | Houston Outlaws really good time buying |
21899s | by the Toronto defiant considering how |
21901s | things started on point a took them a |
21903s | little bit but they found their footing |
21904s | but they cannot deny a time back and |
21906s | most of that was actually done and be |
21907s | right the good defense for sure Toronto |
21909s | was done on that beat Point defense |
21910s | however for Houston I think after they |
21912s | won that very critical fight on B |
21914s | retaining three ultimates they had some |
21916s | reasonably good snowball it was slowed |
21917s | down by the fact that trying to throw in |
21919s | some extra ultimates but when we start |
21920s | coming back in trying to want to get |
21922s | aggressive with hisu on the overclock |
21924s | you see Pelican going for this gigantic |
21926s | flank with the death Blossom and it |
21927s | works a treat Houston just out rotate |
21929s | Toronto and off the back of that flank |
21930s | from Pelican they're able to push |
21932s | through that payload a large distance it |
21935s | was a very slow loss for Toronto as well |
21937s | which meant they're never to regroup |
21938s | properly and at the end of all that |
21940s | toilet gets taken down at a very late |
21943s | Time by Dante must have been a long |
21944s | range zap on the right click and that is |
21946s | a back-breaking kill for the Toronto to |
21948s | fight because if that hadn't happened I |
21950s | think Toronto can advise I need to see |
21952s | this final fight here where it's like |
21953s | you know did you send them so much work |
21957s | through Merit gets like a gigantic |
21959s | shutdown onto finale as well then he |
21960s | gets furthermore kills after that |
21962s | shutdown Houston play the final portions |
21965s | of that sea attack so well |
21969s | I mean finale was a thorn on their side |
21971s | for that b defense |
21973s | continuously picking up kills but so |
21974s | Merritt getting that shut down must feel |
21977s | pretty damn good at the end of it all |
21980s | 45 seconds something by the way rely on |
21982s | there for Houston Outlaws should this go |
21984s | to Extra Innings you know you we talk |
21985s | about the Hester versus Merit battle and |
21987s | that didn't look very good for mayor on |
21989s | uh Mega base eventually Outlaws America |
21991s | started catching up here it's married on |
21993s | 11 final plus he's here and one trying |
21995s | to get very aggressive right off the cup |
21998s | s taking a lot of damage but this match |
22000s | to survive |
22009s | hits the ground has to make his exit |
22011s | jumps back over to the side some healing |
22014s | to go again |
22016s | Reef walk as well gonna be burned by |
22017s | finale |
22019s | so hard for Toronto to walk up here okay |
22021s | they take some High Ground finally |
22022s | Houston respected Houston actually gave |
22024s | up a lot of ground care this is now two |
22026s | fights |
22027s | potential to start walking up |
22032s | married in trouble |
22034s | yeah so love it's creative in a hell of |
22036s | a lot more of it now last we're gonna be |
22037s | taking down there's no support people |
22039s | are still managing to fight back Eric |
22041s | Gets the outlet gets that elimination |
22043s | but can they do more I don't think so |
22045s | she's now just gonna be completely |
22047s | surrounded can't even slide out so that |
22048s | will be the cab coming through here for |
22050s | Toronto to fly him took him just over a |
22052s | minute so the time bank is still gonna |
22053s | be huge and so much of that is Toronto |
22055s | Divine just kind of taking that initial |
22057s | High Ground to our right side of the |
22058s | camera here and then you see the TP from |
22060s | finale onto that sort of blue area where |
22063s | he was now is all so they just take all |
22065s | The High Ground around the point he soon |
22067s | just fighting on you Superior despite |
22068s | the finale in that 1v1 they still lose |
22071s | the team flight because well the rest of |
22072s | the team including children who got |
22073s | active with kill feet found those kills |
22075s | and now you're looking strong as why |
22076s | didn't they have the first sport |
22077s | ultimates |
22078s | Toronto can play very aggressive here |
22080s | and they probably should before Outlaws |
22082s | can respond |
22086s | okay rush out here from Twilight but |
22088s | he's so instantly taken down with |
22090s | another great headshot finds that punish |
22093s | just better get the value of that gonna |
22095s | go ultimate hold supports attacked alone |
22100s | forces him to think twice about 74 here |
22103s | but you should nearly have four more |
22106s | ultimates as soon as Pelican has this |
22108s | death Blossom online and creative is |
22109s | gonna hold now you can see how much I |
22111s | want to hold because he wants hold |
22112s | versus the thrush coming on through |
22116s | oh but he can just continue to hold it |
22118s | find a kill not to take it down didn't |
22120s | have to bailout ultimate anymore already |
22122s | had expired |
22124s | Pella gets down to a sliver of HP just |
22125s | locked apart in position as long as he |
22127s | possibly can but it definitely smile |
22128s | does die a male-defined can gain quite a |
22131s | bit of distance I mean that's both teams |
22133s | kind of Fanning their own consider |
22134s | rushes because they lose one at the top |
22136s | of the fight right they're playing 4v5 |
22137s | they like a damage deal they like just |
22139s | the damage output |
22140s | and for the Toronto fight yeah he |
22142s | usually just starts killing members |
22144s | inside the katsuna Rush from creative |
22146s | and |
22147s | turn on like you said doesn't even need |
22149s | to end up using an alternator |
22153s | down barrier out from both sides yeah |
22156s | gonna be grateful that that one managed |
22158s | to hit the floor Pelican now goes in |
22160s | with a death Blossom of his own will |
22161s | find he still gets Twilight to boot |
22163s | security maybe teleported into that one |
22166s | either way The Kills are found at |
22168s | Houston Outlaws will gain control and we |
22170s | saw how much time that you turn into the |
22173s | fight we're able to chew up and by the |
22174s | way very same position but it's not even |
22176s | the same position because the Houston |
22177s | Outlets are good to play a lot more |
22178s | aggressively here take a look at that |
22179s | death wasn't again dropping on down yeah |
22182s | in the small room pushed it found him |
22184s | he's brilliant stuff and that's also off |
22186s | the back of the fact that last one does |
22188s | land that big life he doesn't get the |
22189s | sound barrier it could be a very |
22190s | different fight you see Toronto Japan |
22192s | get very aggressive trying to drop in |
22193s | the beat last short felt the pressure to |
22194s | respond but he also doesn't want to Ajax |
22196s | now Twilight's got that Rush coming |
22198s | through and there's no response from |
22199s | Outlaws in low HP |
22200s | oh |
22201s | it's nearly picked off still under Fire |
22203s | Pelican as well you always have to work |
22205s | it out for him right now on the side of |
22207s | the Outlaws |
22208s | can use just twice to keep the first |
22210s | corner here contestant Atlanta where are |
22211s | you |
22212s | way into the back lines ends up getting |
22214s | taken down that alone could just be the |
22217s | push coming in to be creative pops the |
22219s | rush just to try to turn the tide to |
22221s | this fight laughter now respawns looks |
22222s | to join back in as quickly as he can but |
22224s | as Ellen kid is going to be taken down |
22225s | since one respawns another goes right |
22227s | back into the respawn room overclock |
22229s | rolling is |
22231s | yet he's so damn close goes right over |
22234s | the head of creative but finale will get |
22236s | on top of him in the end finds the kills |
22238s | and there's the cap three minutes and 40 |
22240s | seconds now to work through for the side |
22241s | of the Houston Outlaws and I think Dante |
22244s | knows the fight's lost Phil he doesn't |
22245s | really want a primal he would have to |
22246s | instantly Primal if he wants to anyway |
22248s | and there's not a lot of players left |
22250s | there like you said the shots coming on |
22252s | through the last row it begins with him |
22253s | right in the Georgia playing keep on |
22255s | going forward they needed now snowball |
22257s | and they are doing so Dante did off the |
22259s | cup how does that happen |
22261s | I did just three-man push up the side |
22264s | two Supply you know I support two DPS |
22266s | they kill off the tank finally trying to |
22268s | excuse me across break line of sight |
22270s | makes his way through the safety |
22273s | he has some questionable positioning |
22276s | here from last year on Dante |
22278s | those last two exchanges |
22281s | three minutes remaining as the contest |
22283s | on the card comes in Dante dropping down |
22285s | knows that he does have that Primal try |
22287s | to play through but it's so many alts |
22290s | attachment finale Hawkins dead |
22293s | he's gonna use it pops it off screen |
22295s | doesn't find too much value there last |
22297s | or holds onto the sound barrier for a |
22298s | little bit longer but everybody's just |
22300s | going to be taken down it would seem |
22302s | there's the extended team kill car again |
22304s | pushing forward the last corner is right |
22306s | here it's gonna be Dire Straits for them |
22308s | to try to get this Recon test three alts |
22309s | still held by the or two all still held |
22311s | here finally five and look at the time I |
22312s | saw Twilight has the same ultimate as |
22314s | creative disc with Houston with bush and |
22316s | create we might be able to get this in |
22317s | time as well |
22320s | okay touch any touches okay |
22322s | let's get back onto the carton 1.29 |
22324s | meters left to go merit with the other |
22325s | clock we'll find showrooms that finds |
22326s | him a little bit more space but they |
22328s | have to keep the same contested |
22330s | rush comes out from creative it's |
22332s | interesting to find we'll go ahead and |
22333s | pull back around the corner and |
22334s | disengage I don't know that career |
22336s | needed to do that defiant will slowly |
22337s | losing their fight anyway but Houston |
22338s | wanted to confirm and with that defiant |
22341s | world back on out but very little |
22343s | members actually died they're defiant |
22345s | actually disengage away and because they |
22347s | receive the extra rush I mean that |
22348s | actually is not bad for the fight they |
22350s | solve enough time to get a bit of time |
22351s | back then the Houston Outlaws |
22354s | just need to keep Houston finale alive |
22356s | he's sneaking his way into the back |
22358s | lines and he's as soon as he pops and he |
22360s | gets his head taken off he's still gets |
22362s | the shutdown has the overclock finds |
22364s | creative on the back end as well Merit |
22366s | now dead the cart rolls in and it's |
22368s | gonna be a minute and 49 seconds to just |
22371s | a minute as we go into Extra Innings |
22373s | that was so good for me so who turns |
22375s | around Flames Pelican that was the move |
22377s | for the Houston levels that was what |
22378s | they were relying on |
22380s | to defend one more time bring that time |
22382s | back down |
22384s | and two shots from hisu will Center on a |
22387s | defiant into a 49 Second Surplus on the |
22390s | time bank compared to what Houston |
22391s | Outlaws have |
22393s | so we may very well indeed sneaky beaky |
22395s | like be looking forward to maybe a |
22397s | one-on-one school I'm here if Toronto |
22398s | can confirm this 49 Second lead into |
22401s | maybe a cap on towards a or just |
22404s | whatever Houston Outlaws set if they set |
22406s | anything at all I think your circles |
22407s | will need at least like two texts for |
22409s | this to be defendable |
22413s | all right |
22415s | coming through the first point is going |
22419s | to be a major decider we haven't seen |
22421s | either team find too much success on |
22424s | their defensive holds here so far |
22427s | a team that can hold this for the |
22428s | longest is likely going to be the one |
22430s | that's able to take it in the end |
22433s | storm your way through if both teams are |
22434s | able to storm their way through who |
22435s | knows it'll all come down to that street |
22436s | space but you can see Pelican thinking |
22438s | like yep I've got to jump on him but |
22441s | he's who turns around a perfect moment |
22442s | gets the head shot into pop on the deal |
22445s | and then from there to the great shot on |
22447s | the creative midair yeah I mean it's |
22449s | just a damage beautiful as well there's |
22451s | only three members left you know it's |
22452s | over |
22453s | it's also going to be interesting is if |
22456s | is this going to be a slow 80 because so |
22458s | far the teams you know I think both |
22459s | teams were short Houston kind of got |
22461s | fast but at the same time you know they |
22464s | said |
22465s | push in off this hike when they have to |
22467s | get turned off this High Ground first |
22468s | you have to work that does take a lot of |
22470s | time to do |
22474s | pelican |
22475s | eliminated great opening kill foul 30 |
22478s | seconds about to be in the time back |
22479s | here for Houston as they continue to |
22481s | suffer some losses |
22483s | would be good but yeah I mean |
22486s | the he's as least as they say |
22492s | Last Chance less than 20 seconds now the |
22495s | Houston Outlaws still have not been able |
22496s | to remove the Charger fight from this |
22498s | high ground |
22499s | and at this point they have to go for |
22501s | the touch stop me who can even go for a |
22502s | Dante Pelican would have to dive |
22504s | they gotta skip the higher ground go |
22506s | underneath but this is which one it can |
22507s | strike future in the open |
22511s | oh God doesn't connect |
22513s | touches there elegant kind of below half |
22515s | HP the healing starts coming through |
22516s | trying to keep this Reaper alive Dante |
22519s | and Merit both falling low first kill |
22521s | does cut through Pelican Scoops up a |
22523s | second views take it down and maybe |
22525s | there's still yet hoping here for the |
22526s | side of the Houston Outlaws as long as |
22528s | they can keep themselves TP away from |
22530s | Twilight the rush nearly online for the |
22533s | first take about to be garnered |
22535s | queen of assault waiting for Twilight |
22536s | they'll both of the casino Rush yet it |
22538s | could be very interesting he shoots on |
22539s | looking at overclock |
22541s | dead goes over into the side room and |
22544s | ends up getting taken down Korean and |
22545s | puts benign to the back of his new skull |
22547s | to find that kill Barrett gets the head |
22549s | shot of the Twilight this is not done |
22551s | yet it would save |
22553s | you should get cleaned up you will find |
22554s | one for his troubles but that is going |
22556s | to be the lockdown coming through here |
22557s | on point a Houston Outlaws they get the |
22559s | push past the initial point and it's a |
22561s | 3v3 initiated by Pelican responded to by |
22564s | some of the defiant members however it's |
22566s | also a respawn distance difference |
22568s | Houston have a closer respawn they can |
22571s | play the 3v3 effectively |
22573s | trade ultimates on the katuna rush and a |
22575s | huge it out almost have so much more to |
22577s | work through and this is already great |
22579s | for one minute I mean whatever distance |
22580s | they get now is far more than Toronto |
22583s | flight can afford to lose |
22589s | through the initial Archway news goes up |
22591s | high ground as we drop down around the |
22594s | back the death Blossom is there as well |
22595s | and last stroke is taken down absolutely |
22597s | assassinated by the death Blossom if the |
22599s | rest of the team can buy some time he's |
22600s | gonna be coming back in with a sound |
22601s | barrier and could be absolutely |
22603s | monstrous for their odds of getting us |
22606s | put going further Toro now the shielding |
22607s | expires Merritt finds that kill that |
22609s | cuts down the healing considerably as |
22611s | Twilight now gonna be the lone support |
22613s | available for their team sound barrier |
22615s | does come through Houston Outlaws |
22617s | continue to gain distance cartoon tested |
22619s | for now TP over to the side somehow some |
22621s | way but now Ernest to find a stagger |
22623s | Runner even with finale getting away I |
22625s | mean he's in no man's land he's |
22627s | completely out of the fight Toronto |
22628s | still waiting for hisu this amount of |
22630s | distance while Outlaws right now is |
22631s | insane that was a must win fight for the |
22633s | flight they still only have 149 by the |
22635s | way Houston out was about to get to the |
22636s | end of eight |
22638s | yeah that 149 is entirely defendable |
22641s | Houston Outlaws continuing to push |
22643s | Pelican the death Blossom nearly there |
22645s | creative trying to catch up as Violet |
22647s | will have that Rush available |
22649s | could be the stopping point here if they |
22652s | can execute on the back of it there you |
22653s | go creative gets his online answers back |
22655s | Pelicans going low gets some healing in |
22657s | the right block form that creative gonna |
22658s | be the first one to fall finale find the |
22659s | kill the best Blossom online he pops it |
22661s | instantly he's looking for some kills |
22662s | but it's gonna be his team that is dying |
22664s | around him rather than his enemies he |
22665s | looks for one he will not get it the OT |
22668s | will bleed down but with just a minute |
22669s | to start this was probably more than |
22671s | they could have hoped for for the side |
22672s | of the Outlaws it was more than they |
22674s | could have hoped for just from the eight |
22675s | cap alone and then some a tiny amount of |
22677s | distance on either fact that there was |
22679s | another fight went on a that allowed the |
22681s | Houston Outlaws to get all the way to |
22683s | this little Bridge section tomorrow |
22685s | defiant had potentially just lost the |
22687s | map off that alone I mean with 149 after |
22690s | lastro died too |
22693s | and that's the other thing it was the |
22694s | actual 5v4 and last shot hasn't there |
22697s | was enough time bought by Houston that |
22698s | last year comes back in after dying |
22700s | drops a sound bearing and they win off |
22702s | that sound barrier that's how much extra |
22704s | time the Houston out was actually |
22705s | brought off that 4v5 and they couldn't |
22708s | leave the payload they were forced to |
22710s | play payload in the overtime so Toronto |
22711s | is a plane stay heavily needed to win |
22714s | that fight that specific fight they had |
22716s | to fight before would last for a dime |
22717s | but they did not win that and that is |
22719s | probably the defining uh the fight loss |
22721s | and we'll see if it is because trying to |
22723s | find something to cap a but that's only |
22726s | the start of their issues 149 is |
22728s | probably not enough time but absolutely |
22730s | is not enough time to get the kind of |
22731s | distance that Atmore said despite |
22732s | Outlaws having less time to play through |
22734s | they got way more than they bargained |
22736s | for |
22739s | well now on the attack with a minute 49 |
22742s | seconds let's see if Toronto defiant can |
22744s | recreate a bit of the magic that Houston |
22746s | Outlaws showed us on that OT push it's |
22749s | what they absolutely need to do if they |
22751s | want to tie this up and finally give us |
22753s | uh you know a non-3-0 series otherwise |
22755s | Houston Outlaws will be moving up too |
22757s | well CashPoint will be in their hands |
22759s | looks good for Houston right now I |
22761s | thought that maybe they picked up go |
22763s | ahead let's go I was just going to say |
22764s | it let's go to Houston right now in |
22765s | terms of denying that uh one to one |
22767s | rifle they want to keep the three hours |
22769s | going today |
22771s | provider will have to have a very smooth |
22773s | day to have any shot at camping through |
22774s | b as well there's a lot of fights they |
22776s | have to win here in a row as well |
22780s | Marin stays safe but Pelican does get |
22782s | left out in the dry ends up falling hell |
22784s | shot through Muse taking low jumps up on |
22786s | The High Ground that's gonna be laughter |
22788s | taken down seems like to buy it in that |
22790s | ball rolling towards this a cap down to |
22793s | about a sliver of HP Dante trying to |
22795s | hold out but he still will find him in |
22797s | the end |
22800s | finale will be looking to rejoin |
22802s | potentially the first check mark done |
22804s | however hold that thought as Dante being |
22807s | alive now is there going to be any shot |
22809s | for Houston Outlaws no I don't think so |
22810s | too far away I think if Dante was close |
22813s | sir if he died earlier respawn earlier |
22815s | Etc if he just was available there they |
22817s | could have gone for the retake but there |
22818s | is also inherent risk for the retake for |
22820s | outlaws if they go for they fail they |
22822s | could lose a map of that but they're |
22823s | gonna get aggressive now |
22825s | yep very aggressive push coming in made |
22827s | it down low Astro finds the kill takes |
22829s | out Muse and that Pelican Point of fall |
22831s | Easter with a headshot rail takes him |
22833s | out now Baron dead as well because he's |
22835s | right three members gone inside of the |
22836s | Houston Outlaws Dante the last one |
22838s | standing trying to stay alive pops the |
22840s | bubble TP forward look for the |
22843s | elimination but it seems like he's not |
22844s | gonna get staggered but they've broken |
22846s | through the initial choke point the |
22847s | problem with that fight now for Houston |
22848s | Outlaws is they've given away a lot of |
22850s | all charge towards to fight so we talk |
22852s | about these OT fights and defining the |
22854s | snowball they're going to get that |
22855s | through |
22856s | the only ultimate that Outlaws will have |
22858s | is creators the fact that creative has |
22859s | more ultimate of the rush is so huge in |
22862s | comparison to Twilight |
22865s | one playing forward there for just a |
22867s | brief moment |
22870s | the Russian Rush can be online very |
22872s | quickly random's holding let's build up |
22874s | that final seven percent the corner |
22876s | gonna be held there's the overclock |
22877s | first from Keystone looking for some |
22879s | targets |
22880s | one crew catches the classroom in the |
22883s | chest sound barrier now online for him |
22884s | hasn't dropped it yet now goes the match |
22886s | double support ult coming through |
22888s | overclock rolling from Merit double shot |
22891s | the cross on Amusement |
22893s | loses his head they shut down the death |
22896s | Blossom that might just be enough Dante |
22897s | finds Muse as well they'll clear them |
22899s | off the card and the Houston Outlaws |
22901s | after the miraculous push they give |
22903s | quite a bit of distance here to the |
22905s | Toronto the Flyers but they managed to |
22907s | shut them down in the last few moments |
22910s | they stopped the push they get the win |
22912s | they're now up 2-0 match point is theirs |
22914s | yeah that's amazing I mean again you |
22916s | look at that overtime push from the |
22917s | Houston Outlaws on one minute they |
22919s | nearly clear B and it's just too much |
22921s | distance to run to fight with having |
22923s | more than you know they have a 49 Second |
22925s | Advantage there they can afford to lose |
22927s | an extra fight and you know they get a |
22929s | really good push themselves but |
22931s | issue does not get the value on that |
22934s | overclock that he was looking for the |
22935s | smile on Pelicans Facebook as well |
22937s | douching out was they know how well they |
22939s | played in part of eso and Merit shuts |
22941s | down finale the one death Blossom that |
22944s | could maybe still save the day for the |
22946s | trying to defiant is not going to be |
22947s | there it's not going to be good enough |
22948s | and the Houston Outlaws now leave two |
22950s | and zero and they are looking for that |
22952s | 3-0 finish to round out an entire day's |
22954s | worth of potential three zeros |
22956s | [Music] |
22958s | that they are and right now they're just |
22960s | looking so damn good we weren't sure |
22961s | whether or not we were going to be able |
22962s | to see the Winston I mean like we said |
22964s | we like the the show we liked the map |
22966s | pick up today so to try to make the |
22969s | Outlaws try to make Dante a little bit |
22971s | more uncomfortable playing that Winston |
22972s | but honestly he piloted it pretty damn |
22975s | well in the end so they get the win a |
22977s | 2-0 lead now for the Houston Outlaws can |
22980s | they complete another game of three |
22983s | OverWatch or will to defiant be able to |
22985s | fight back we'll have to just wait and |
22986s | see they have one more map pick to try |
22988s | to make it happen on escort we'll see |
22989s | where they decide to take us and whether |
22991s | or not they can get that win to extend |
22992s | the series when we come back from the |
22994s | break |

23279s | you think about it it's a tiger one and |
23280s | a line one but no bears no oh my |
23285s | God here's something else that's cool |
23286s | looking over some stats for that last |
23288s | map I did mention that he should had a |
23290s | bit of a slow start he did a venture |
23291s | catch but one stage I think when we |
23293s | uh swap sides and |
23297s | um so at the end of the first half it |
23299s | was married on 11 final boss used one |
23301s | one I believe but at the end it's |
23302s | married on 17 he's won 18 however |
23306s | aside from that this is where marriage |
23308s | Gap starts to be shown Beyond just the |
23310s | actual final blows the damage output was |
23312s | a pretty significant Gap here Merit was |
23314s | the only play in the entire Lobby who |
23316s | hit more than 20 000 damage again he |
23317s | landed at 22 |
23319s | 610. he spent 18 668 and then I also |
23324s | damaged for 10 Merritt was the only |
23325s | player on five digits so he had 11 537 |
23329s | damage from ten every other play in the |
23330s | lobby had Below in that regard despite |
23333s | having one less final blow that he sue |
23335s | the raw damage output across the board |
23337s | was so insane for a minute |
23340s | well looks like it's going to be Dorado |
23343s | with the final map pick coming through |
23345s | here for the side of Toronto to fight |
23348s | and see if they can go ahead and pick up |
23349s | a w to extend this series but of course |
23353s | if they do that's gonna just be the |
23354s | start of a necessary reverse sweep it |
23357s | also means that Houston Outlaws would |
23358s | have map pig from then on out so it's |
23362s | very much working against them right now |
23363s | this series not being able to get a win |
23365s | earlier on I think I'll tell you what |
23367s | reverse sweep would be a very huge |
23369s | shutdown I'm gonna once again despite |
23371s | Toronto also losing part of Izu I still |
23373s | think you know that was a smart pick for |
23375s | them this is again a smart pick for |
23376s | which we wanted to find in terms of |
23377s | where their strengths are they are |
23379s | trying to |
23380s | maybe widen or create a gap between Muse |
23383s | and Dante so why Dorado this is a very |
23385s | Winston heavy map very dive heavy map |
23387s | right |
23388s | um fantastic for Winston skill |
23390s | expression now the thing about that is |
23392s | that would be great for Muse if it |
23394s | wasn't for the fact that dances were |
23396s | pretty ring small and that wouldn't |
23398s | maybe maybe Johnny wasn't uh too far off |
23400s | by saying that Dante could just pick it |
23402s | up because you know he does pick it up |
23404s | looked good certainly didn't look like a |
23407s | liability for the team I mean I think |
23409s | one time maybe he kind of gets killed |
23411s | out of nowhere but for the most part |
23414s | yeah Dante has been holding his own on |
23416s | this hero that's super impressive for |
23417s | Houston allows them to have some real |
23419s | contention for the playoffs |
23422s | yeah I think it was just the one uh that |
23425s | one little positioning when he was left |
23427s | side of the final stretch of the map we |
23428s | Define on the attack there trying to |
23430s | push through into C didn't get caught up |
23432s | on The High Ground it was melted down |
23433s | but other than that it has been very |
23436s | well piloted by him he's very much going |
23439s | to continue as the gates open up |
23440s | teleport set up here onto The High |
23442s | Ground it's a big poop denied well set |
23444s | up and well predicted there by Turlock |
23447s | denies the positioning |
23449s | I don't see what Houston can do in the |
23451s | low ground though should have some |
23452s | attempts here okay that's a big pick off |
23454s | right away |
23455s | that's kind of the advantage of defying |
23457s | starting on High Ground they you know |
23459s | knock Houston Outlaws down the low |
23460s | ground and they just find that opening |
23462s | straight away |
23465s | which also has top the impact of |
23468s | allowing twice to get very far ahead |
23475s | and Twilight will definitely take that |
23476s | and we saw him clicking some heads |
23478s | especially on Busan is uh not as much on |
23482s | that second map but so turns will go |
23484s | down on either side lasso however gets |
23486s | traded out after finding the elimination |
23487s | and it's just okay everybody's just |
23488s | gonna die |
23489s | start an explosion of death here over in |
23492s | the side room as hell again killed off |
23495s | midair by uh who is just going out of |
23498s | control denies The High Ground access |
23499s | and then just rips people to shreds all |
23502s | right |
23502s | giving the closer response I think it's |
23505s | important by the way that trunk does get |
23506s | the kill to creative because uh that |
23507s | stops great from catching up the |
23508s | Twilight there is still a little bit of |
23510s | a gap in terms of the general Rush |
23511s | building |
23512s | finale's also been playing Tracer has |
23514s | impossible available |
23516s | wow |
23522s | protect you |
23524s | there they are just hugging tearfully as |
23526s | finale goes ahead and sticks up the last |
23528s | little was there no shoes in their lives |
23531s | created uh apparently not okay |
23535s | then so I mean yeah I don't know that's |
23538s | uh you see the stick on a Dante and he |
23540s | does did he not I guess he didn't have a |
23542s | jump available because he was just stuck |
23543s | in celestein they both die hand in hand |
23546s | that's hashtag Valley on the pulse bomb |
23550s | it is I mean considering that we haven't |
23553s | been seeing too much pressure here today |
23555s | okay good amount of value to be found if |
23557s | Merritt take it down he's with a great |
23559s | head shot |
23560s | she's an outlaw just can't really seem |
23562s | to get five players together on this |
23564s | card you can see they're very much split |
23565s | apart right now Dante left out Hall and |
23567s | flown some Primal is gonna be held on to |
23569s | definitely would have been |
23571s | just not worth it to go ahead and commit |
23572s | it to the fight they need a full run |
23574s | kills not something that they really had |
23576s | I mean they win the fight they get the |
23578s | ground so you take those in terms of |
23579s | small victories but I think one killed |
23580s | the consumer rush I think I would have |
23582s | wanted a little bit more some stagger |
23583s | did say Houston Outlaws now push from |
23585s | The Underpass will be sort of tunnel |
23587s | side go straight for the arch fight and |
23589s | they can play their own Rush |
23592s | you're gonna try to get themselves over |
23594s | the car Pelican gonna be forced into the |
23595s | race walk here nice and early overclock |
23598s | rolling |
23599s | we threw these shots but far isn't |
23602s | finding too many connections Dante just |
23604s | keeping him occupied so it doesn't have |
23606s | that full charge since one out we'll go |
23607s | ahead and whip on that down there how |
23609s | we're gonna be dropped didn't go wrong |
23610s | we'll need to keep the rest of the team |
23611s | protected rolling confused but the focus |
23614s | fire is just looking so damn good from |
23615s | the side of the Outlaws they managed to |
23616s | take him down finale as well going to |
23618s | fall creative with a great little hunai |
23619s | headshot takes him out and with these |
23622s | eliminations that will be the captain |
23623s | eventually coming through here on to |
23625s | point a so Houston Outlaws now three |
23627s | minutes 20 seconds to work with but that |
23629s | is not too much here for the second |
23632s | stretch of this map |
23634s | just one lie that wasn't all the |
23635s | alternative was Pelican fifth boss but |
23636s | he built that one I think towards the |
23638s | back end when Houston were already |
23639s | winning so a big expenditure from both |
23642s | sides that was like what about nine |
23644s | ultimates being spent roughly something |
23646s | like that flying fudge damage in that |
23648s | including a headshot okay |
23652s | can't make it out |
23656s | all right but okay Pelicans using the |
23657s | Death Watch so really try to open up |
23659s | this High Ground for the rest of his |
23660s | Squad allow them to get that car roll |
23662s | double supports |
23664s | son well he got one of the two supports |
23666s | off that's why they're gonna take him |
23667s | down so should be some pretty push some |
23669s | easy push with the Houston Outlaws now |
23670s | we're building up towards Twilight's |
23672s | katuna rushes |
23674s | you head into this underpass and once |
23676s | you sort of Round the Corner here you've |
23677s | got a great length drop in that katuna |
23679s | Russian also a little bit of knock like |
23680s | spawn Camp certainly controlling the |
23682s | trophy |
23685s | trying to LEAP his way out onto this |
23688s | High Ground eventually has to drop down |
23689s | to stop this there to match pressure and |
23691s | Pelican is just charging his way into |
23692s | the bag |
23693s | thank you about half HP but now the rush |
23695s | could be used by Twilight we're gonna |
23697s | try to win out the fight's in a really |
23699s | bad spot kind of gets bogged down right |
23701s | there in the corner of the room it's a |
23702s | falling in the end |
23704s | with the low HP bars but there may yet |
23707s | still be some additional staggers pulse |
23709s | already finale holding on to it for now |
23711s | dashes in gets the stick Merritt gonna |
23713s | be taking him down unable to save once |
23716s | more the pulse bomb finds some value |
23717s | nips back right for the back of the car |
23719s | still inches forward getting closer to |
23720s | the rounding the final quarter but |
23722s | inevitably yeah well we'll have to back |
23724s | away and reset and with a light death on |
23726s | the floor a death on Dante has to reset |
23730s | looking for no further discharge Roger |
23733s | flying getting very aggressive in the |
23734s | bank there just rush the entire thing |
23736s | down takes the target they have the 5v4 |
23738s | and Houston Outlaw still wanted to |
23740s | respond Creator dropped in his own Rush |
23742s | the damage output certainly was not |
23744s | there from the Houston Outlaws a minute |
23745s | 20 remaining now roughly |
23747s | so they can definitely can't be off the |
23749s | back of this one pedal positioning is |
23750s | good but this High Ground Control from |
23752s | trying to find it's gonna be a bit rough |
23755s | news gets aggressive |
23765s | a bit more aggressively here and Merritt |
23767s | will be able to find all three of the |
23768s | eliminations that come through so far so |
23770s | I'm gonna be running back sound barrier |
23772s | at the ready but with a late kill on a |
23773s | finale the contest is going to be pretty |
23776s | Bare Bones if they can even get one |
23777s | these jump sport gives his life and that |
23780s | is just gonna be the cap coming through |
23781s | so just over two minutes now remaining |
23782s | for the Houston Outlaws of the final |
23783s | stretch I mean churong dying there was |
23785s | everything right because lastro ends up |
23786s | using a sound barrier 2005 doesn't have |
23788s | that in response control being sniped |
23789s | out |
23791s | they're doing so much work didn't even |
23792s | have overclock and they didn't use it so |
23794s | that was just broad neutral play |
23798s | can they finish the map though because |
23799s | this is still quite a bit of work to do |
23801s | despite the two minutes being van |
23804s | it's awesome about to be online Merit |
23806s | should look to overclock pretty soon |
23807s | here as well |
23814s | for it overclock after PC First Merit |
23817s | still holding on to one of his own |
23818s | Pelicans taking low and the final shot |
23820s | will go ahead through the chest finds |
23822s | that elimination so the rest of the team |
23823s | tries to escape finale will lose his |
23825s | head at the very end but I don't think |
23826s | he's going to be too bothered by it |
23828s | that the rest of the Divine are able to |
23830s | hold the door and hold the car in |
23831s | position so here's downloads have read |
23832s | that and trying to find had a lot of |
23834s | ultimates there so I guess the game plan |
23835s | was to just kind of shove the payload in |
23837s | see when Toronto were going to respond |
23840s | because they would have to respond |
23841s | eventually and once they throw an |
23842s | ultimates Outlaws back out they save and |
23845s | they build towards the win condition |
23846s | here as creative looks into the next |
23848s | rush now |
23852s | he does finds Muse finds Twilight two |
23855s | quick kills from Eric the cold spot this |
23857s | time around from the finale not going to |
23858s | be able to fight the damn thing in fact |
23859s | all he finds depth Pelican gets on top |
23861s | of him |
23883s | decide to go ahead and use it the back |
23885s | of that Rush as well that's lots of |
23887s | playered in finds show up gets the kill |
23889s | mew's gonna be taken down and there's no |
23890s | one to condense the card so somehow |
23892s | someway Houston Outlaws despite the |
23894s | limited time Banks they were working |
23896s | with both at A and B they managed to get |
23898s | to the end of Dorado with time but I |
23900s | think there's 28 seconds remaining for |
23901s | them I think it's that final or second |
23903s | to last push there with the Merit |
23905s | overclock that's what gets the value |
23906s | there the fact that he finds three kills |
23907s | in that so huge |
23909s | and trying to find you know they it's |
23912s | it's a pretty difficult situation for |
23913s | trying to be in because if you pop the |
23914s | sound barrier there you know you don't |
23915s | have it to defend against the katuna |
23917s | Rush from creative later on so Houston |
23919s | Outlaws had |
23920s | they were quiet to win two fights and |
23922s | they got both fights now off both of the |
23924s | important ultimates that they needed and |
23926s | sound barrier even with Chong vs |
23927s | creatives uh Katrina Rush didn't end up |
23930s | being enough when Pelican could just |
23931s | rock up with the death Blossom inside of |
23932s | that Rush find Value put moves down to |
23934s | one take him down as well no Defender is |
23936s | not gonna touch |
23937s | still with 28 seconds left to go |
23940s | like it's done so |
23942s | decent Shine from Houston so like you |
23945s | mentioned as well slow on a but B and C |
23948s | were much quicker especially C was |
23949s | actually one played |
23955s | this is |
23960s | goes for the pop the shield gets broken |
23962s | and Muse just has no two three |
23964s | whatsoever great little quick shot |
23966s | through on Twilight |
23970s | very nicely done by Merritt has been |
23972s | very much I'd say the the brightest |
23974s | spark here by the way Houston Outlaws so |
23976s | far in the series it's not even just |
23977s | that sequence of kills coming from here |
23979s | it's the fact that Toronto couldn't get |
23980s | a counter track because at least they |
23981s | got a counter trade off the back of that |
23983s | and by the way this is Houston Outlaws |
23984s | between the same TP punish but way more |
23986s | effective because actually get a Kill |
23988s | trying to find not getting a trade at |
23990s | the end there means that Houston gets to |
23992s | walk up as five and they don't have to |
23993s | play slowly and wait for a uh three |
23995s | spawner from their own side so that was |
23998s | another factor for loosen that was |
23999s | camping and straight away on the First |
24001s | Defense unusual so success from The |
24004s | Outlaws as well |
24007s | trying to fish for a couple tags there |
24009s | on a creative or on the Twilight rather |
24010s | I should say |
24011s | it doesn't find any |
24019s | everybody can make their way out safely |
24022s | and really putting pressure on the news |
24023s | here he's been struggling to really get |
24025s | into position for a dive |
24026s | jump on any High Ground that being said |
24029s | though with the payload still moving in |
24030s | help Moors have been pushing up and use |
24032s | it tonight again |
24035s | now about half |
24038s | okay for the time being the rest of the |
24040s | team trying to hold forward if you tag |
24042s | lower and lower but with music the rest |
24044s | of the Outlaws can storm up and yeah I'm |
24046s | just trying to gain control this card |
24047s | mayor down to one Twilight it will get |
24048s | it with a head shot at the end to get |
24049s | the finishing blow and suddenly that's |
24051s | the turn of the tides we're trying to |
24053s | defy it now I have the advantage to go |
24055s | kills back over the car I'm plunge has |
24057s | been doing some crazy damage today he's |
24059s | Chanel will convert that's actually |
24060s | really critical because Outlaws are |
24062s | about to win they were going to win |
24063s | without the ultimate but now they're |
24065s | just gonna get picked apart |
24067s | I mean look at Dante 86 can pay the |
24069s | muses 54. Dante Liberty and Houston can |
24071s | stole that one they get ultimate support |
24073s | ultimates they're Primal so much the |
24075s | workers will break on and it starts for |
24078s | Twilight getting that initial pickoff as |
24080s | well I believe it was under mirror Mike |
24083s | yeah I'm a little too close to the Sun |
24085s | there did The Outlaws with that forward |
24087s | defense now it's gonna be the Raj and |
24088s | Twilight looking to make this a very |
24090s | aggressive push wants to open up an |
24092s | immense amount of space because the |
24093s | clock is being brought forward and |
24094s | Merrick is going to fall under the |
24095s | pressure and only down to 59 feet can |
24097s | finish off Pelican able to find that |
24098s | elimination Dante now jumping into the |
24100s | back gets the corner here onto hisu who |
24102s | should die but actually he manages to |
24104s | slide away and the healing comes in from |
24105s | Twilight to keep him topped up this is |
24108s | life intact for a little bit longer but |
24109s | then eventually finds himself to get |
24111s | another corner and that time there's no |
24112s | Escape he dies for a little bit of an |
24114s | additional stagger and Houston Outlaws |
24116s | will be able to actually establish a bit |
24117s | of control off the back of that fight |
24119s | but while it again opens things up look |
24121s | at the Turn and Burn from the Houston |
24122s | Outlets as well right they bad couch |
24124s | disengage from Twilight Casino Russians |
24126s | one of his own in will push back but as |
24130s | that happens they lose a planet regroup |
24133s | they start moving the payload the only |
24134s | downside of all of that for the Divine |
24136s | is that the payload wasn't really moving |
24137s | the whole way through should be dead |
24139s | Blossom coming for Pelicans looking for |
24140s | it |
24142s | they'll can end finale both holding on |
24145s | to this is an immense on either side |
24147s | three for the Outlaws four for the |
24148s | defiant final rage is going to be used |
24150s | now the overclock from Izu as well |
24160s | finish off the Winston that should be |
24162s | them holding the cart he's got a sliver |
24164s | we'll finish off at the end finally |
24166s | tries to escape through the bank but |
24167s | just too many people to try to pursue |
24169s | cleanup comes in |
24171s | once more Houston Outlaws they have an |
24173s | opportunity to try to buy some time off |
24174s | this time bank Twilight harassing around |
24176s | the back just wait for the TP out there |
24178s | it is I gotta say it's what we look at |
24180s | the performances of individual members I |
24182s | think Twilight has had a potentially |
24183s | better game than creative right nearly |
24185s | double the creative damage output |
24187s | but that being said merits just had so |
24189s | much better of a soldier performance on |
24191s | this map as well it felt like that was |
24192s | kind of the case already on part of use |
24194s | over here it's 16 final blows from Merit |
24196s | four for he soon and Merit also shut |
24198s | down he sues overpowered just before so |
24200s | I mean |
24201s | this death Blossom doesn't work out on |
24204s | either side of him but now he really |
24205s | needs to hit something |
24207s | he does there's the Blossom from both |
24209s | sides and Pelicans gonna be able to find |
24210s | two but it gets traded back as well go |
24212s | down the mouth no damage dealers left in |
24214s | the fight for the Houston Outlaws great |
24216s | and falling as well |
24218s | throwing a Twilight though they are |
24220s | bringing the card forward because you |
24221s | said Outlaws have kind of gotten |
24222s | themselves split apart Dante six percent |
24224s | four percent now away from that primal |
24227s | trying to disengage clients saying yeah |
24229s | we need to get grouped back up so they |
24230s | managed to disengage successfully and |
24232s | group back up as five yeah a lot of |
24233s | respect being shown there's obviously |
24234s | Houston weren't trying to stop the paler |
24236s | they knew they'd respawn as you seem to |
24237s | run to Define as well not trying to just |
24239s | back up there because they also knew |
24240s | that Houston had respawners so both |
24242s | sides want to reset for the 5V fights a |
24244s | lot of time Burn by the time Toronto cap |
24246s | if they cap that all they're going to be |
24247s | working with pretty similar time to what |
24249s | Houston had on the scene |
24252s | hell can hold the car under two minutes |
24254s | now remaining for the defiant look to |
24257s | get this minute and a half plop up to |
24259s | the final stretch Dante taking a little |
24261s | bit low but he's well into the back |
24262s | lines has that Primal pop he's looking |
24264s | to get the hit there onto his Superman |
24266s | to play elusively enough to keep himself |
24268s | safe Primal widely not gonna get too too |
24271s | much done buys a little bit of extra |
24273s | time then expires that should be |
24275s | mirrored again nearly on the overclock |
24277s | we've seen the save the day Toronto |
24279s | nearly has the sound barrier must pop it |
24281s | in response you have to oh my God it |
24283s | doesn't even matter |
24285s | quietly just swings right back out and |
24287s | baron snatches up the opportunity |
24289s | finds the kill holds onto the overclock |
24291s | sound barrier gonna be dropped in by |
24292s | last row making sure that they could go |
24293s | ahead and win out the rest of this fight |
24294s | and they will |
24296s | clean up comes through on to four |
24298s | Toronto I mean he's he's trying to |
24300s | escape through the bank but they know |
24301s | exactly what his Escape Routes are they |
24303s | cut them that's some extended stagger |
24305s | and the thing is like chorong knows what |
24307s | the game plan is he understands like at |
24308s | this time cannot allow Merit to get |
24310s | value in the overclock must the |
24311s | sound bearing spots however American |
24313s | load the overclock that was just again |
24315s | raw neutral damage from there finds the |
24317s | speaker to Twilight and Chong's freaking |
24319s | out so he pops a sound bar with the four |
24321s | because they gotta live they gotta try |
24323s | and win something here |
24324s | and now Houston Outlaws bring the time |
24326s | bank down below a minute they're looking |
24328s | towards good win conditions now Mary |
24330s | still has the other clock he soon has to |
24332s | match if you shoot can't kill Merit here |
24334s | and if he dies to marry it again I think |
24336s | it's over |
24338s | fair enough risky position now the |
24341s | overclock comes through he's trying to |
24343s | catch him in the toes goes down below |
24344s | half HP he'll start going his way but he |
24346s | Sue hits him with a rail the headshot |
24348s | goes across but he's gonna be training |
24349s | it out they shut down the rest of that |
24350s | ball telekin finds it drops it as |
24352s | blossom in Finale High Talia as quickly |
24354s | as he possibly can |
24356s | seconds remaining his Twilight jumps |
24358s | over Toro Dante however quick on the |
24361s | pursuit finale finds one that supports |
24363s | now gone Pelican taken down the Stagger |
24365s | start coming in Houston Outlaws unable |
24367s | to reset unable to play together as a |
24369s | fought full five but as Merit rejoins he |
24371s | finds the shot the touch is there they |
24373s | force up the OT Dante jumping back |
24375s | through the Primal expire can't try to |
24377s | smack anybody off this call there and |
24379s | end up dying sound barrier dropped in by |
24381s | trong to keep everybody else protected |
24382s | creative gonna fall last from Under Fire |
24384s | should get dropped here Pelican rejoins |
24387s | here on the soldier 76 he's desperately |
24389s | trying to get this kill onto hisu and he |
24390s | will but he gives his life for it and |
24392s | the cap is there all the same a minute |
24394s | 20 seconds now remaining for the Toronto |
24395s | to fight as it can't be I gotta say the |
24397s | Charon finding a second sound barrier |
24399s | and record time is huge did not expect |
24401s | that to happen I don't think Outlaws |
24402s | expected it either if it was for the |
24404s | sound barrier very defendable for the |
24405s | Houston Outlets the one is that like one |
24406s | sound barrier after one bite incredible |
24410s | timing yeah but do they have enough time |
24411s | now to finish on that they're definitely |
24412s | not going to match 28 seconds that's for |
24414s | sure looking at cap at all then looking |
24416s | for an OG push and they can only afford |
24418s | to reset one time |
24420s | that was about to hit sometimes here |
24422s | themselves no they're not heated by the |
24423s | shot |
24424s | yeah he's hit headshots is what he's |
24426s | hitting give the follow-up kill Pelican |
24428s | now take it down the rail barely misses |
24431s | huge final the cleanup is coming through |
24433s | and this is monstrous for the Toronto |
24435s | defiant snowballing right now and they |
24437s | very well can end up matching this time |
24438s | back if they can continue to find these |
24439s | individual picks I think however should |
24441s | slow them up well the sound barrier is |
24443s | going to be either a sub Houston from |
24444s | overclocking but it will come down to |
24445s | overclock versus overclock again |
24446s | remember he's a dead Kilmer in the last |
24448s | change he dies himself but at least they |
24451s | don't Merit down early Primal now |
24462s | for his troubles before dying |
24465s | he was able to find that elimination |
24466s | they have to take glue to this card but |
24469s | they're just getting zoned back away |
24470s | Pelican goes up onto The High Ground |
24472s | needs some healing but as he drops down |
24474s | this could be damn dangerous for the |
24476s | rest of the defiance |
24477s | the rush confused bubble drop use trying |
24480s | to stay protected laughter the first one |
24481s | of all ESO with a head shot looking good |
24483s | but Merritt now finds views the main |
24484s | tank |
24485s | you take it down the blossom comes in |
24488s | Pelican cleans up two he said he tries |
24491s | to fight back he gets married but he |
24493s | ends up getting dropped and in the end |
24494s | the card will not be able to get to the |
24497s | finish of the map Houston Outlaws will |
24499s | successfully defend |
24500s | despite some close moments despite some |
24503s | nail biters there throughout Dorado they |
24506s | will hold strong and they will not |
24508s | divert from the script it is another 3-0 |
24511s | series as they keep themselves here in |
24513s | the upper bracket absolutely an |
24515s | amazingly well played as well you looked |
24517s | at how para is open you're thinking man |
24519s | there's just no way Houston Atlas in one |
24521s | minute versus 149 I mean Toronto can |
24524s | lock this up shortly doesn't happen |
24525s | insane push on the time Bank in the |
24528s | overtime look over towards this map is |
24531s | all on Dorado |
24532s | the B defense drops Toronto down to an |
24536s | OT and Toronto start to make some real |
24538s | waves in the final push he shoots down |
24540s | to come alive but once the respawners |
24542s | get in there |
24543s | it's married again popping off |
24545s | Pelican with a final nail in the coffin |
24548s | a death Blossom to centroid to fight him |
24551s | down into the lower bracket as Houston |
24553s | Outlaws will continue forward |
24556s | and the team that I think most people |
24557s | would have predicted to have one do |
24559s | indeed win and they do so in a 3-0 |
24561s | fashion as well without dropping a |
24563s | single map and you know we'll have to |
24565s | get another update on how many perfect |
24566s | brackets remain but I think at least |
24568s | this one was probably a little bit more |
24569s | easy to predict of few upsets today but |
24572s | Fusion outlaws they're not going to get |
24574s | upset at all |
24577s | I'm gonna guess |
24578s | zero perfect brackets remaining uh just |
24581s | because things have been wild and I |
24583s | think that most people probably would |
24584s | have anticipated this series to maybe be |
24585s | a little bit more Scrappy as well but |
24587s | not having any |
24590s | taken by the losing team is quite a |
24593s | statement to be made by all the teams |
24595s | who have successfully kept themselves in |
24597s | the upper bracket |
24598s | so very nicely done by all four of these |
24601s | squads that walk away Victorious that |
24603s | walk away with perfect victories but |
24606s | somebody who looked damn near perfect |
24607s | throughout this series on the side of |
24609s | Houston that is going to be our player |
24610s | of the match and that is Merit who |
24612s | continues to just look damn good the |
24614s | sojourn players just slurping up the |
24616s | player of the match wins it would seem |
24617s | but it's very well deserved at the end |
24619s | yeah very strong performance on a strong |
24621s | hero I mean it starts out on our first |
24623s | map of Busan it really it didn't end |
24625s | right this was by the way you could |
24627s | probably consider Busan to have been his |
24628s | most quiet meth and even then you've |
24630s | seen some good highlights it really was |
24632s | for me on part of izo like I mentioned |
24634s | the 22 600 overall damage 11 500 damage |
24637s | per 10. monstrous performance shutting |
24640s | down players as well because finale |
24642s | finale didn't even get to really play |
24644s | much of the game he never really got to |
24645s | drop down to death was there to deny him |
24648s | time and time again |
24650s | yeah just down twice on the same map |
24652s | because there was also that that one you |
24654s | know on that final push he gets the head |
24656s | shot on the finale just cutting him down |
24657s | to size now so it was very very well |
24660s | done by Marron by all of the Houston |
24661s | hours I mean somebody else who very much |
24663s | we should give a shout out to is Dante |
24665s | who we weren't sure how it was going to |
24666s | look picking up the Winston week gave |
24668s | props to the defiant for their picks |
24671s | trying to force him into a bit of an |
24673s | uncomfortable position but Dante seemed |
24675s | very well at home very few mistakes made |
24677s | as he brings out that tank pick uh so |
24680s | I'd say you know run around if not |
24682s | co-player of the match we talked about |
24684s | the fact that you know High drum was 10 |
24686s | final plays out of 10 was great how |
24687s | about 11.1 so even one further per 10 |
24690s | just to go to show you know merit's got |
24693s | the one in his name right so that's |
24694s | where the extra one kill comes from |
24696s | um yeah just a show just to show how |
24698s | much extra he can be on top of what was |
24700s | an insane performance by hydron in our |
24702s | previous series as well but Houston |
24703s | Outlaws looking dangerous and and maybe |
24706s | the one quote-unquote potential weakness |
24708s | for the team doesn't look that weak at |
24710s | least not yet Dante will still be tested |
24712s | versus other Winston players I'm sure |
24714s | but right now like he said he just needs |
24715s | to not be a liability and he actually |
24717s | looked like a reasonable force to be |
24719s | reckoned with at times as well |
24720s | um some decent charge times of the |
24722s | Primal Rage uh and allowing space and |
24725s | time for Pelican and Merit to have their |
24727s | moments and you know Pelican close the |
24729s | series Mary had a fantastic series all |
24731s | around Houston out was that looking like |
24732s | a dangerous team |
24735s | that they are I mean all the teams right |
24737s | now that are keeping themselves in the |
24739s | upper bracket are teams to be feared I |
24741s | mean a lot of results that we didn't |
24742s | necessarily anticipate I mean the 3-0 |
24744s | score lines aside uh I mean the the |
24747s | Hangzhou spark being able to come out |
24748s | and look as strong as they did it has |
24751s | just been a wild wacky day it's not for |
24753s | us to break down however we luckily have |
24755s | the desk to do all of that and recap |
24757s | everything that we got to see here today |
24758s | on the first day of playoffs but that |
24760s | does it for myself and Abra we'll see |
24762s | you guys again tomorrow for some more |
24763s | matches but make sure you stay tuned |

25044s | watchpoint analyst desk we're ready to |
25047s | wrap up the Deva first things first we |
25049s | do have an interview ready on the stage |
25052s | with no other than Pelican from the |
25053s | Houston Outlaws and we got Jake joining |
25055s | us as our translator so uh thank you |
25058s | guys so much for taking the time |
25059s | congratulations 3-0 we continue to |
25062s | distroll through sweep City so uh let's |
25065s | dive into our questions Jake we really |
25068s | like to know from Pelican uh which team |
25070s | he hopes will be picking the Houston |
25073s | Outlaws tonight when they do the |
25075s | selection okay |
25083s | oh |
25085s | so |
25088s | pilly says he'd like to meet Seoul |
25090s | Dynasty tomorrow hopefully he hopes that |
25092s | they pick us |
25094s | why that is oh |
25100s | [Music] |
25112s | Phillies like to meet uh one of the APAC |
25114s | teams in the playoffs and I guess only |
25116s | uh Dynasty is of the top four seeds so |
25118s | he prefer to play the HD all right I |
25121s | love that yeah seeing a profit and Smurf |
25123s | as well that's gonna be great um I'd |
25125s | like to ask about the current meta you |
25127s | know we're saying we've seen pretty much |
25128s | just Winston Soldier and kariko pretty |
25130s | much all day here |
25131s | um what teams does Pelican think are |
25133s | going to benefit the most from the |
25134s | current battle we have okay |
25142s | foreign |
25145s | [Music] |
25154s | yeah thank you so much uh also Jake you |
25157s | coming for every single job here I think |
25159s | the only thing you haven't done yet is |
25160s | now he's our translator as well like |
25162s | what are you what are you doing for our |
25163s | job security there Jake I'm so nervous |
25166s | this is the first time doing uh any kind |
25167s | of Korean translation on broadcast so |
25169s | thank you guys we don't speak Korean but |
25171s | we think you nailed it that was awesome |
25174s | Jake I'm impressed yeah very impressed |
25176s | and we hope to see much more of you and |
25178s | your team thank you so much and good |
25179s | luck in your next game thank you so much |
25181s | thank you |
25182s | I feel so inadequate |
25186s | props to the Korean players when they |
25188s | come and talk English in the interviews |
25190s | oh yeah Jake talk Korean all this I mean |
25193s | that was sick great job Jake I mean he's |
25195s | been on the desk as as an analyst uh to |
25198s | fill in as a guest he's been doing |
25200s | casting he's a player he's a coach |
25204s | now he's a translator the only thing he |
25208s | hasn't come for is my job |
25210s | can't have it looking forward to 2023 |
25212s | soy we're gonna miss it we'll be posting |
25214s | why not you know what you can probably |
25216s | really |
25218s | I'll coach The Outlaws make them yes |
25222s | that is my goal the control issue that |
25225s | this is |
25227s | yeah we looked it up by the way and I |
25229s | was right and that's really important to |
25231s | me that everyone knows that I forgot |
25233s | about it also it's important that's |
25234s | because we all kind of blocked that out |
25236s | of our memory except from that one thing |
25238s | now I do want to talk about the match |
25240s | because Toronto defined unfortunately |
25243s | fell 3-0 which is all we got on day one |
25246s | apparently every team just decided that |
25248s | that that's gonna be uh our end result |
25250s | so sweep City uh lives on but I want to |
25254s | know how to use not lost God it's done |
25256s | well it was kind of funny because we got |
25258s | into the first map and I'm like oh |
25260s | Houston Outlaws this is what we're gonna |
25262s | do in the playoffs Dante comes out on |
25263s | the erisa in the first round and then in |
25265s | the second round unironically goes the |
25267s | roadhog and actually has a lot of |
25269s | success with it you can understand where |
25271s | this pick is coming from but I was a |
25273s | little worried about the longevity of |
25274s | that on different maps you can play a |
25276s | little silly on control because it's so |
25278s | linear but Dante actually went over to |
25281s | the Winston on the later Maps you're in |
25283s | Dorado and he actually looks quite |
25285s | serviceable I'm not going to say that he |
25286s | was an exceptional Winston but he you |
25288s | know went toe-to-toe with news and did a |
25290s | pretty good job so Dante can keep that |
25292s | up that's a big move for the Houston |
25293s | Outlaws because he has more Synergy with |
25295s | the rest of the team yeah he didn't drag |
25297s | his team down you know he didn't go in |
25298s | there in thing and just gave Tony a |
25300s | fight for an advantage inherently in |
25301s | these fights no he did a good job you |
25303s | know positioned his bubbles adequately |
25304s | and then bought a time and space for |
25306s | Pelican and America him in a ways to |
25308s | just pop off like Meredith When Merritt |
25309s | plays Soldier uh he's incredible top |
25312s | five Soldier and yeah arguably like a |
25313s | top three surgeon in the league right |
25315s | being able to take it to some of the top |
25316s | teams around the league in Pelican as |
25318s | well we know that Tracer perhaps isn't |
25320s | really his comfort hero so having the |
25322s | meta shift towards the reaper instead |
25324s | that's a big Boon for the Houston Outlaw |
25326s | so overall you know stepping away from |
25328s | Individual as well I think Houston |
25330s | Outlaws as a team they played really |
25332s | well when it came to positioning |
25335s | um Evan flow Within These fights as well |
25337s | engaging with these Casino rushers for |
25339s | example disengaging at the right time so |
25341s | overall I think and others had a really |
25343s | good performance here being able to |
25344s | change things up too yeah funnily enough |
25346s | the more I watch this meta the more it |
25348s | kind of reminds me of the 2021 kind of |
25350s | what we coined the zombie comp with the |
25352s | Winston the Lucio and the Moira but now |
25354s | you have that Kirito and it just sort of |
25355s | UPS the speed of the reaper and that |
25357s | enables him to do so much you know |
25359s | Pelican does a great job he is a very |
25361s | smart player and was able to utilize |
25362s | that while on the other hand I think |
25364s | Toronto defined just a little too slow |
25365s | Off the Mark with a couple of things I |
25367s | liked the look of the finale Tracer |
25369s | something that we might see a little bit |
25370s | more from them but unfortunately wasn't |
25372s | enough to even get a map from The |
25373s | Outlaws now I do want to uh go a little |
25376s | bit more into that you were just |
25378s | mentioned in Houston's engages and also |
25380s | the disengages and you wanted to share |
25383s | more insight on how Houston is doing it |
25386s | yeah I mean I predicted Toronto finds |
25387s | something I'm disappointed in my voice |
25389s | you know come on I got a pred wrong |
25392s | because of you guys so part of it I |
25393s | think there's 2005 I wasn't quite |
25396s | satisfied with the ultimate value they |
25398s | got from their team when it came to |
25400s | playing these Ebbs and flows rightly |
25402s | whether it's you know death Blossom with |
25403s | Reaper or in this case Kitsune watch you |
25406s | know it's a huge momentum ability uh |
25408s | face from the LA platers the coach of |
25409s | Alexander the Kitsune watch might be the |
25411s | best ability in the game but look at |
25413s | Twilight just unleashing the katuni rush |
25414s | there's no green in sight they're all |
25417s | gone and then they re-engage when |
25419s | katsuna Rush is gone right and this |
25421s | happened a couple times here on point BS |
25422s | wrong sir it happens once more here |
25424s | consumeros being used Outpost we're out |
25428s | we we we're gone and so this is a great |
25430s | job at the Houston Outdoors to disengage |
25432s | from these very important abilities and |
25433s | recognizing that we're not we're not |
25435s | going to try to win this fight we're |
25436s | going to step away because you have the |
25438s | advantage but similarly I'm a bit |
25439s | disappointed throughout the defiant does |
25441s | get sooner Rush uh Rush abilities not |
25444s | the greatest placement yeah I didn't |
25446s | really optimize the placement of that |
25448s | ability to allow your team to chase |
25449s | because you know the enemy team is going |
25451s | to disengage right it's so powerful you |
25453s | have to put it in a place where you can |
25454s | capitalize on it and so I was a bit |
25457s | disappointed in Twilight it's a |
25458s | legendary flexible player maybe they can |
25460s | utilize that a bit better tomorrow |
25465s | is one of the strongest ultimates in the |
25467s | game if you try and fight into it |
25469s | without you know a response of ultimate |
25471s | on either katsudo rush or a different |
25473s | ultimate you will just get run over that |
25475s | that is the whole point that you know |
25476s | kiriko's almost played to a point so I'm |
25478s | excited to see how that sort of evolves |
25480s | and adapts because there were teams that |
25482s | were utilizing it better than others I |
25483s | think the Houston Outlaws did a good job |
25485s | with their own but they did a better job |
25487s | of recognizing Toronto Defiance |
25488s | weaknesses yeah like seeing that again |
25490s | being played out and talking about it so |
25492s | specifically that votes really really |
25494s | well for every huge nalo spawn should be |
25495s | excited right now because the show's |
25497s | really good team communication and |
25499s | awareness and that is exactly what you |
25501s | need in the meta like that where those |
25503s | disengages are so very crucial now uh we |
25507s | did have four matches today and there |
25509s | were three and O's however a lot |
25511s | happened and that means a lot of |
25513s | movement uh in our Bingo boards as well |
25515s | so uh Costa uh will uh do us the honor |
25519s | of uh Crossing through what we saw |
25523s | okay the first we |
25527s | we can't do the broadcast yeah we can't |
25530s | hear you I can hear you |
25534s | interesting what you just said no so I |
25536s | don't I don't think the desk made the |
25538s | unanimous prediction run that didn't |
25540s | happen Ajax did happen Ajax did happen |
25542s | at the sweep that that very much it |
25545s | happened four of them to be precise yeah |
25547s | yeah |
25550s | C9 yep |
25555s | what's the road talk pick on ironically |
25557s | yes the robot was picked on ironically |
25561s | by Dante and they wander round that was |
25563s | great |
25565s | um Well Fusion got second place in their |
25567s | match does that count no that's not okay |
25570s | all right |
25572s | jinx's team yeah but party Murray did |
25574s | Jinx their team uh yeah someone |
25576s | mispronounced Esperanza I know we didn't |
25578s | uh |
25580s | Well you certainly just did |
25584s | oh maybe maybe it was me it's me maybe I |
25586s | did it just now yeah uh desk makes an on |
25589s | Anonymous prediction Spark |
25592s | oh that did happen yeah yeah we all yep |
25596s | yeah tactical crouching after kill Hardy |
25605s | I still don't think we actually uh made |
25607s | sure what what that means at deadlift |
25610s | the hydrant got close but not quiet I |
25612s | think it was like three kills off so |
25614s | yeah I think that's it for day one I |
25615s | think that was a productive day one that |
25617s | was a very productive day one yeah I |
25620s | think there was also like almost a |
25621s | deadlift but not quite so we'll save the |
25623s | deadlift one great job there because |
25625s | they're walking away without your |
25626s | microphone and then talking |
25627s | it only goes so far it's not a wireless |
25629s | microphone I can't really do much with |
25631s | that uh I was just I much prefer like |
25634s | the the logic lapse of just just me |
25638s | well here's why as I have no way of |
25641s | communicating with the audience but yeah |
25642s | we are following along with the |
25644s | OverWatch League Twitter as well so make |
25645s | sure to check that out they are the |
25646s | official up and down we don't actually |
25648s | ready for a quick guessing game Guess |
25650s | how many perfect brackets are still |
25651s | alive four two it's two oh you're so |
25656s | smart wow I am is that a prediction |
25658s | Point |
25659s | okay all right fair enough all right all |
25663s | right well it is time for best of the |
25666s | day uh the games were quick but quite a |
25668s | lot of action happened and one thing |
25670s | that stood out for me was Gucci's return |
25672s | to Glory seeing him once again on that |
25675s | Winston fueled by the rages of the past |
25678s | in the Anaheim Convention Center that is |
25680s | spirits of Anaheim yeah the spirits of |
25682s | Anaheim Winston something something oh |
25685s | sorry I don't know it's Halloween |
25686s | weekend but I felt it and so did Gucci |
25689s | and the Primal blade awoke in Anaheim |
25692s | once again what this is just so much fun |
25695s | to watch honestly I've missed how it |
25697s | feels it feels right not the point we'll |
25700s | play you think the the goose way on |
25701s | Winston and popping off he's like a |
25703s | stapler of the league and it feels like |
25705s | it's been so long since we've really |
25706s | seen him come back it would be awesome |
25708s | to see him have this playoff performance |
25709s | and keep putting up these numbers |
25710s | because the spark are really a Dark |
25712s | Horse the further they go into this |
25714s | tournament because they looked very good |
25715s | on the back of good choice I mean I know |
25717s | that there were there was you know a |
25719s | specific someone who called out to Which |
25720s | Way throughout the season and you know |
25721s | questioned whether yeah but you |
25722s | abandoned |
25724s | um I'm gonna cut you off you abandoned |
25725s | that hopes yeah they might be around you |
25728s | here no you sold all your stonks on them |
25731s | okay so let me do my best of the day |
25732s | because the Shanghai dragons you know |
25735s | someone had to do it someone had to be |
25736s | the first in the league and in these |
25738s | playoffs to C9 in the playoffs the the |
25741s | Shanghai dragons getting hit with a a |
25743s | change to the way that the control works |
25745s | they thought they had touched it but in |
25747s | the overtime right now with 99 you have |
25749s | to stay on the point and they just don't |
25751s | get there and honestly the Hong Kong |
25752s | spark team was just laughing I mean |
25753s | they're on there that they like step off |
25755s | yeah but you can't do that anymore yeah |
25757s | that's the rules dem's the rules |
25760s | there's some muscle memory though that |
25762s | that's probably the issue here right |
25764s | there is some muscle memory where you |
25765s | just used to a certain way as a player |
25767s | when it comes to OT |
25770s | it was just I think it's poetic that had |
25773s | happened to the Shanghai dragons you |
25774s | know they've had so many great Shang |
25775s | nines throughout this year if anyone |
25779s | the spirit of the 2019 Shanghai dragons |
25782s | we can't just keep yelling Anaheim every |
25784s | time |
25785s | [Laughter] |
25788s | I love it all right so do I Jonathan |
25790s | what tickled your fancy uh today I mean |
25793s | we had a lot of Winston with a lot of |
25796s | surgeon a lot of Reaper Lucio kariko I |
25798s | name them all but we also got a taste |
25801s | just like some cherries on top Bastion |
25803s | oh no orisa are you kidding me I mean I |
25808s | love to see this from the Atlanta rain |
25809s | we were like can Hawk play Winston |
25811s | brings out the Rhine who expected this |
25814s | speedily as well on the Bastion um and |
25816s | he actually you know has him quite a few |
25817s | moments like this one for example you |
25819s | know lob it out uh it looks good there |
25822s | he goes that's the sound effect right |
25824s | you sound just like him yeah RuPaul is |
25826s | like what is this I've never seen this |
25828s | before unbelievable |
25831s | um so yeah it didn't work out and then |
25832s | Hulk like went Doom or something and |
25834s | then uh you know for someone diorista |
25836s | for someone uh we didn't get the road |
25838s | again there but don't they play roadwork |
25839s | as well and goes away for like two |
25842s | seconds but you know and it works for |
25844s | the Outlaws yeah |
25848s | yeah sure |
25851s | I feel bad because like off Time Players |
25853s | around the world they're like that's not |
25855s | cheese that's my hero it's not cheese |
25857s | but it's like yogurt right like it's |
25858s | almost cheese |
25861s | it's somewhere along the lines it's |
25863s | heading towards cheese okay okay on the |
25865s | way on the way it's cold it's good |
25868s | speaking of culture bracket I don't know |
25870s | transition but I do want to take a look |
25872s | at the bracket whoa thanks for getting |
25874s | that perfect |
25879s | all right Dallas of course got the first |
25881s | pick and they did a drum roll pick the |
25884s | Hangzhou spark that is a surprising pick |
25887s | from me my bracket is broken I did not |
25890s | have Dallas picking the Angels work well |
25892s | I didn't have any of these four teams |
25894s | pretty much being at this point if I'm |
25896s | being honest uh but there's there's so |
25898s | many interesting matches to come out |
25899s | here the San Francisco shot versus The |
25901s | Outlaws that's a matchup that we've seen |
25903s | a lot throughout this uh throughout this |
25904s | year and Coach junk box formerly part of |
25907s | the coach Crosby and 9k of course |
25909s | historically winning some championships |

25914s | rivalry which we just make up on the |
25916s | desk as we go because the players and |
25918s | the coaches don't really care but we do |
