| 996s | just reminiscing to the good old days of |
| 998s | when i was actually in hawaii and alyssa |

| 1013s | don't know if i'm accidentally sending a |
| 1015s | message to anyone but if i am |
| 1018s | let me know in my twitter dms they're |
| 1019s | open for some reason but we are living |
| 1022s | our own little island life here on set |
| 1024s | in tropical irvine california so why |
| 1027s | don't we hang loose with our bracket for |
| 1030s | the tournament |
| 1033s | now yesterday the top four teams picked |
| 1035s | their opponents from our winners from |
| 1037s | yesterday starting with the shock |
| 1039s | choosing the spitfire the gladiators |
| 1041s | picking the outlaws the dynasty picking |
| 1043s | the spark which means that dallas would |
| 1046s | end up with shanghai gentlemen this is |
| 1049s | our bracket for the day |
| 1051s | scott any thoughts as we're taking off |
| 1052s | oh man i'm so excited to see all these |
| 1054s | matches we get to see the top four seas |
| 1055s | finally play we get to see some |
| 1057s | rivalries we get to see some exciting |
| 1059s | things uh the san francisco shock made a |
| 1060s | tweet of like kong versus godzilla talk |
| 1064s | about with chatty versus collusion like |
| 1066s | that's what it feels like that's the |
| 1067s | moment that we got today so i'm excited |
| 1069s | for it now johnny i would ask you what |
| 1071s | you thought about seeing the brackets |
| 1072s | but you can't see them |
| 1075s | move on because guys we have to go we |
| 1077s | took it off how can you breathe without |
| 1079s | your snorkel |
| 1085s | but guys guys we didn't get a lot of |
| 1087s | time to talk about uh the picks and |
| 1089s | everything last night so i think that |
| 1091s | it's time for good pick bad pick |
| 1096s | now before we start and get into good |
| 1099s | pick bad pick we actually have some |
| 1100s | inside information all the way from |
| 1103s | hawaii it's the one and only danny |
| 1105s | limnick |
| 1107s | danny danny boy |
| 1114s | awfully thank you uh yeah i just want to |
| 1116s | say before i start |
| 1118s | johnny and chris you guys look |
| 1119s | ridiculous |
| 1120s | take that take the flower off |
| 1125s | anyways yes guys of course we had no uh |
| 1127s | selection show i know so that's why a |
| 1129s | lot of you guys were i'm guessing that |
| 1131s | we're very curious to see why the teams |
| 1133s | picked who they picked don't worry guys |
| 1135s | i got you guys i talked to the teams |
| 1137s | probably like 30 minutes ago so i got |
| 1139s | all the info let's start off with the |
| 1141s | shock versus london spitfire i talked to |
| 1143s | head coach krusty and krusty said that |
| 1145s | they picked london to prove that they |
| 1147s | are the best overwatch league team and |
| 1149s | in order for them to do that their first |
| 1151s | step is to beat the london spitfire who |
| 1154s | are the best ryan team that we have and |
| 1157s | then from there they're going to take it |
| 1158s | step by step one by one by eliminating |
| 1161s | uh teams one by one uh and then when |
| 1163s | poco from london spitfire uh heard this |
| 1166s | he said quote shock is a really good |
| 1169s | team we lost against them in our first |
| 1171s | match of the season our team grew a lot |
| 1174s | since then and now we are more ready to |
| 1176s | take on the shock as for the gladiators |
| 1180s | i talked to head coach face and he |
| 1182s | simply stated houston outlaws were the |
| 1185s | worst team that were left and they just |
| 1188s | sort of had to go with that uh when |
| 1191s | coach jake heard this uh from face uh |
| 1193s | what he said was quote |
| 1196s | yeah well that's like your opinion man |
| 1200s | end quote |
| 1202s | and uh that's it for me guys and i guess |
| 1204s | back to you thus you guys look |
| 1206s | ridiculous |
| 1211s | we look great ugly right |
| 1215s | johnny looks great oh man daddy looks |
| 1217s | great he committed to it he's sitting |
| 1219s | there in sweden |
| 1221s | hey careful careful she may be sunburned |
| 1224s | oh yeah yeah sorry |
| 1225s | you sunscreened up right for the truth |
| 1227s | [Laughter] |
| 1229s | do we want to talk about what danny just |
| 1230s | shared with us though because i love |
| 1232s | that quote from jake well i mean that's |
| 1234s | just your opinion dude jake's just been |
| 1236s | getting beaten up do you remember in the |
| 1237s | kickoff clash as well when hunter went |
| 1239s | hard at him and jake's just like i got |
| 1241s | nothing they keep getting picked by the |
| 1242s | best is this the second time they got |
| 1244s | picked by the gladiators as well |
| 1246s | i think it might be so they've just been |
| 1247s | getting beaten up by the gladiators for |
| 1248s | the last two tournaments so yeah it's |
| 1250s | all jake's got he said uh from the |
| 1252s | gladiators coach and i quote outlaws |
| 1254s | were the worst team left |
| 1256s | that does sound like the aligners that |
| 1258s | does sound like something and they might |
| 1259s | have been right yeah i do like the shock |
| 1261s | picking uh spitfire because you know |
| 1263s | they want to take down the team with one |
| 1265s | of the best rhines out there so i mean |
| 1267s | props there yeah yeah props there um i |
| 1271s | mean i think it was the logical choice |
| 1272s | yeah for the san francisco show because |
| 1274s | they've just like they've been one of |
| 1275s | those teams to actually know how to beat |
| 1277s | that one spitfire with this rhino |
| 1278s | composition we've seen several times |
| 1280s | this season where the san francisco |
| 1281s | shock they know how to orient their way |
| 1283s | around the reinhardt shield you know to |
| 1285s | set up positions proper something like |
| 1287s | tracer like all that so i think it was a |
| 1289s | very logical choice because the shock |
| 1291s | they don't have any reason to be worried |
| 1292s | about the loan of spitfire where some of |
| 1294s | these other teams are just like oh |
| 1296s | johnny |
| 1298s | i was following up off the interview but |
| 1300s | i mean that exactly leads into our first |
| 1302s | match there with good pick or bad pick |
| 1304s | and as you say it's a logical one yeah |
| 1306s | and i i like i want to follow on like |
| 1308s | what johnny just said like the the |
| 1310s | london spitfire they're a great team we |
| 1312s | hyped them up all the time they they've |
| 1313s | been like popping off and they've |
| 1315s | exceeded expectations by such a large |
| 1317s | margin it's very impressive what they've |
| 1319s | done with the players that they have but |
| 1321s | we're talking about the san francisco |
| 1322s | shock we're talking about profile we're |
| 1323s | talking about kilo we're talking about |
| 1325s | all of their great rookies on top of |
| 1327s | that they have violet in the back line |
| 1329s | so they're looking absolutely dominant |
| 1331s | they should not be afraid of the london |
| 1332s | spitfire and as they said in the |
| 1333s | interview they aren't |
| 1335s | now as the second seed the los angeles |
| 1338s | gladiators were up next to choose and |
| 1340s | for their opponent they chose the |
| 1341s | houston outlaws so costa was a safe good |
| 1344s | pick or a bad pick i think it's a good |
| 1346s | pick the houston outlaws have been you |
| 1348s | know somewhat inconsistent and they've |
| 1350s | been solid throughout the season but |
| 1352s | they've never sort of hit that next |
| 1353s | level nowhere close to what the |
| 1354s | gladiators are right now we saw these |
| 1357s | two teams play off you know just a few |
| 1359s | matches ago and the gladiators got away |
| 1361s | with a clean 3-0 sweep there was some um |
| 1365s | i guess charlie niners in there some |
| 1368s | questionable positioning some |
| 1369s | questionable choices being made by the |
| 1371s | houston outlaws but if they're c9 that |
| 1373s | means they were in the game at some |
| 1375s | point they were close to winning so the |
| 1378s | houston outlaws aren't that far away but |
| 1379s | if you're the gladiators you have to |
| 1381s | come in confident in today's match yeah |
| 1382s | i mean if you don't c9 on new queen |
| 1385s | street and gibraltar in that series the |
| 1387s | houston outlaws they're one fight away |
| 1389s | from actually winning both of those maps |
| 1390s | against the alligators so even though |
| 1392s | that was the 3-0 i don't think this |
| 1394s | matchup is as cut and dry as we like to |
| 1395s | believe i actually do think that the |
| 1397s | houston outlaws even though they're the |
| 1398s | underdog they have a genuine chance to |
| 1401s | win this match i think we're gonna have |
| 1402s | spicy predictions later in the day but |
| 1404s | last but certainly not least of the |
| 1407s | choosers |
| 1408s | we're talking about another team right |
| 1410s | now we're talking about another match |
| 1412s | please let's uh share some spotlight |
| 1414s | with our next match which is going to be |
| 1416s | the seoul dynasty who chose to take on |
| 1419s | the hongzhou spark even after seeing |
| 1422s | what chai did to my poor philly boys |
| 1426s | yesterday so was this a good pick or a |
| 1428s | bad pick johnny i mean |
| 1432s | considering considering the two teams |
| 1434s | that were left yes uh i think this was |
| 1436s | the right pick from the soldiers this is |
| 1438s | a team you know um as you can see |
| 1440s | dancing swept spark in the last two |
| 1441s | meetings but also like if you're the |
| 1443s | sole dynasty like yeah they have shy but |
| 1445s | you have fit you have stalker like come |
| 1447s | on you can match them when it comes to |
| 1449s | the sojourn and the hit scan play and i |
| 1451s | mean then you have the entirety rest of |
| 1453s | the soul dynasty to worry about costa so |
| 1455s | i do feel like the soul dynasty they're |
| 1456s | in a pretty good spot here and if you |
| 1458s | might lose like the soldier in battle |
| 1461s | where it come to this matchup because |
| 1462s | shy is just like unbelievable alfie by |
| 1464s | the way i'll be so good |
| 1466s | okay but seoul dynasty as a whole i i |
| 1469s | think they are the better team so i |
| 1470s | don't think you should be too concerned |
| 1472s | are you really going to say oh alpha yi |
| 1473s | though when profit is on the other side |
| 1476s | and smurf you think bernard and alfie |
| 1478s | are going to go toe-to-toe with smurf |
| 1480s | profit well i no i i'm just saying alfie |
| 1483s | what's good |
| 1485s | but he's not profit good and that's |
| 1486s | that's my whole take for this match like |
| 1488s | we the hong kong spark they have been |
| 1490s | had good performances shai is gonna do |
| 1492s | shy things but stop at the end of the |
| 1494s | day seoul dynasty has one of the best |
| 1496s | dives in the world with profit and smurf |
| 1498s | why didn't you say yesterday that you |
| 1501s | said that shy bet his best hit scam |
| 1503s | player in the end |
| 1505s | he said that we can roll back the tape |
| 1508s | well i don't think we can we can't do it |
| 1509s | right now but twitter can do it okay |
| 1511s | twitter don't come at me okay because |
| 1514s | i'll i'll fight for this but yes i think |
| 1515s | he is one of the best hitscans in the |
| 1517s | world but you know fitz is no slash |
| 1519s | stalkers no slaps they can go toe-to-toe |
| 1521s | with him it's the rest of the team that |
| 1523s | you have to worry about the entire seoul |
| 1524s | dynasty we haven't even talked about the |
| 1526s | backline vin name has a rookie of the |
| 1528s | year candidacy going for himself right |
| 1529s | now on main support so i think that's an |
| 1532s | irony though |
| 1534s | i i don't have a point though i'm sorry |
| 1535s | i don't know i don't know super rich |
| 1537s | yeah i mean listen i'm just gonna like |
| 1539s | go speak with our graphics department |
| 1541s | and see if i could get like a lower |
| 1542s | third or something that pops up and just |
| 1544s | says in quotation marks custa says |
| 1547s | shai is the best hit scan player |
| 1550s | i love it i shouldn't have said that you |
| 1552s | know what that's a new show that's a new |
| 1554s | segment custa says we're just gonna fill |
| 1555s | it with all of just like these uh uh |
| 1558s | baseless not baseless because we |
| 1559s | actually saw the gameplay and shy |
| 1561s | slapped everyone but i do like that idea |
| 1564s | for this segment but guys those are the |
| 1566s | three matches that were chosen but the |
| 1568s | one which i suppose we can call the |
| 1570s | leftovers match might actually be the |
| 1572s | most compelling of them all we'll get |
| 1575s | into the dallas fuel versus the shanghai |
| 1577s | dragons right after this break so don't |
| 1579s | go anywhere bad pick bad pick come on |
| 1582s | they were left |

| 1720s | [Music] |
| 1722s | hmm |
| 1726s | [Music] |
| 1734s | [Music] |
| 1739s | hey |
| 1740s | [Music] |
| 1748s | [Music] |
| 1764s | hey everyone and welcome back to |
| 1766s | watchpoint where when we wear sandals we |
| 1769s | also keep our socks on |
| 1772s | wait wait don't you have where are your |
| 1774s | feet did you put where are your feet |
| 1777s | on my legs usually what i thought you |
| 1779s | went did you take your you took your |
| 1782s | flip-flops off well what are the flip |
| 1784s | flops |
| 1788s | okay no no that's this we just got dane |
| 1791s | we got a ryan flop right here yeah i got |
| 1793s | i got my own |
| 1796s | i got my own little uh |
| 1798s | line here yeah we got ryan flip as well |
| 1799s | but the flip is hiding somewhere so uh |
| 1803s | yeah it's uh you know keep your eyes out |
| 1805s | uh for the hawaii line uh from reinforce |
| 1809s | uh something thank you to whoever made |
| 1811s | this i forgot who made it but |
| 1813s | i would purchase this bridge |
| 1815s | i thought you were just gonna shove your |
| 1817s | feet up and then that was our quick bit |
| 1818s | but i love the fact that you actually |
| 1819s | just had him on hand |
| 1821s | now later today the dallas fuel will |
| 1823s | take on the shanghai dragons these two |
| 1826s | teams seem destined to meet each other |
| 1828s | because this rivalry kind of defined the |
| 1831s | 2021 season custa yeah and this is a |
| 1834s | matchup that we've seen so many times |
| 1836s | over the last like 12 months because it |
| 1838s | was the east versus the west you know |
| 1840s | the shanghai dragons versus the dallas |
| 1842s | fuel all of last year they were the |
| 1843s | dominant teams coming out and you can |
| 1845s | see the results here on your screen the |
| 1847s | dallas fuel had the better of them in |
| 1849s | the first half of the season but as time |
| 1851s | went on as soon as shanghai dragons |
| 1852s | adopted that wrecking ball set up they |
| 1855s | started to get that edge and they went |
| 1856s | on to win the entirety of the 2021 |
| 1858s | season we have not seen these two teams |
| 1861s | face off head to head so far this season |
| 1863s | and i'm excited for it because funnily |
| 1865s | enough we actually see very similar |
| 1867s | styles coming out from both of these |
| 1869s | teams the dallas fuel are playing on the |
| 1870s | back of that fearless winston they are |
| 1872s | still playing some of this lucio where |
| 1874s | oh my god look how many players are on |
| 1875s | this game |
| 1876s | this is 2021 footage obviously but |
| 1878s | there's the shanghai dragons as well |
| 1880s | playing facebook wrecking ball izzyaki |
| 1882s | likes to play that zenyatta he's not |
| 1884s | playing it here but they are playing |
| 1885s | those two styles right now so it's a |
| 1887s | clash of what we expect from both of |
| 1889s | these teams we know the dragons are a |
| 1891s | great team they stumbled a little bit in |
| 1893s | this mid-season madness started slow |
| 1895s | trying to lean on void but ever since |
| 1898s | they made that transition to fate being |
| 1899s | the main tank and playing around that |
| 1901s | dodge style they've looked a lot better |
| 1903s | so will dallas fuel have the answer to |
| 1905s | that in this matchup today what is this |
| 1906s | time |
| 1908s | this |
| 1910s | what |
| 1910s | two cp is dead and we we we are happy |
| 1913s | about that johnny we have to say it now |
| 1914s | can i say it oh okay oh yes you should |
| 1917s | say it now get it out of the way okay |
| 1918s | i'm gonna say it |
| 1919s | everyone of watchpoint |
| 1921s | i'm confused where's hanamura on the map |
| 1924s | cycle i like hanamura no we don't miss |
| 1926s | no |
| 1927s | you do not we're talking about something |
| 1928s | important here and you bring up hanamura |
| 1930s | no i want you like |
| 1932s | hanamura is n2cp they're gone thank you |
| 1936s | they're gone they're gone forever but |
| 1937s | you know it's knock on the history |
| 1939s | between these two teams jonathan because |
| 1942s | this one is extra spicy with both teams |
| 1945s | returning to their 2021 strategies |
| 1947s | despite so many changes in the game |
| 1950s | since like conor are being gone yeah i |
| 1952s | mean kosta hit on it it casts a hit on |
| 1954s | it perfectly |
| 1955s | but it's so exciting because even though |
| 1957s | we've changed to five versus five and |
| 1959s | like the game is all messed up or in a |
| 1962s | good way but |
| 1964s | the status of you are playing the same |
| 1967s | stuff they were doing last year with six |
| 1969s | players on their team they're playing |
| 1970s | this very aggressive dive style they |
| 1973s | like to bring out the moira you can't |
| 1974s | see the moira here but you can see like |
| 1975s | tracer soldier they did play some anans |
| 1978s | and yarin the mid-season madness but |
| 1979s | lucio winston these are the kind of |
| 1981s | heroes you're going to see when dallas |
| 1983s | fuel play the actual game genji in there |
| 1984s | as well 8.4 but if you take a look at |
| 1987s | the shanghai dragons they're playing |
| 1988s | what they were so good at last year a |
| 1991s | ton of sojourn brigitte senora like |
| 1994s | they're they're not playing this fast |
| 1996s | lucio style backline they're playing |
| 1997s | zenyatta and brigitte which is way |
| 1999s | slower and way more about controlling |
| 2001s | the game you can see wrecking ball as |
| 2003s | well eleven point six percent uh ash as |
| 2005s | well comes in eight point nine percent |
| 2006s | that's an apec favorite but you can see |
| 2008s | the difference in compositions from both |
| 2011s | of those teams and i think it's going to |
| 2012s | be so much fun to watch these teams go |
| 2014s | head to head because dallas fuel they're |
| 2016s | known for their aggressive dive style |
| 2017s | when fearless he can't play the doomfist |
| 2019s | like he's showing me right here punching |
| 2020s | people off the map but you're going to |
| 2022s | see much more winston from him come the |
| 2024s | actual game time and winston i mean |
| 2026s | we've seen a couple teams like utilize |
| 2028s | it like views for example from the |
| 2029s | toronto defiant but you really have to |
| 2031s | be like a top tier winston to be able to |
| 2033s | make it work but there's also been times |
| 2035s | when he hasn't been able to make it work |
| 2036s | so a lot of question marks going into |
| 2038s | this matchup when it comes to the dallas |
| 2040s | fuel and being able to play this winston |
| 2042s | will fearless get away with it he hasn't |
| 2044s | had the best year so far and then of |
| 2045s | course you have the shanghai dragons who |
| 2047s | already proved last year as we saw with |
| 2049s | the match of costa they're able they |
| 2052s | know how to punish fearless on this |
| 2053s | winston so i would say that dallas are |
| 2055s | the underdogs here interestingly enough |
| 2057s | the one the the thing that has been |
| 2059s | shutting down the dallas fuel is the |
| 2060s | doomfist the doomfist is very good |
| 2062s | against that winston with those shotguns |
| 2063s | the shanghai dragons haven't shown any |
| 2065s | willingness to play that so far this |
| 2067s | season so will that be a boon for the |
| 2069s | dallas field will they have more freedom |
| 2070s | to play their game compared to the |
| 2072s | shanghai dragons i mean just as you |
| 2073s | would said it the doomfist and fearless |
| 2076s | i just want to know do you think |
| 2078s | what else could be the x factor besides |
| 2080s | fearless on the squad i think you know |
| 2082s | we talked about lips so much yesterday |
| 2084s | how good he is on that ash i want him |
| 2086s | want to see him pop off because the |
| 2087s | dallas fuel don't really have an answer |
| 2089s | to that you know gurio has been fine but |
| 2091s | they haven't really been leaning into |
| 2093s | that this tournament and then we have |
| 2095s | you know edison who just hasn't really |
| 2097s | played much of that hitscan they prefer |
| 2098s | to play that like tracer genji or just |
| 2100s | fast style so the question becomes can |
| 2103s | the dallas fuel play fast enough to shut |
| 2105s | down lip and sort of not give them that |
| 2107s | tempo being able to get that damage out |
| 2109s | or will they just get you know as johnny |
| 2111s | said just ignore lip maybe that's not |
| 2112s | the |
| 2115s | ignoring that's strategy specific all |
| 2117s | right all right they need to shut down |
| 2119s | you can't just copy paste analysis yeah |
| 2121s | i can't work i can and i will that's |
| 2123s | what i do every day that's that's more |
| 2124s | about you to me |
| 2126s | let me just pull up a reddit thread copy |
| 2128s | paste this into that but i know that |
| 2129s | there are going to be quite a few people |
| 2131s | who will be excited for that match but |
| 2134s | when i woke up this morning i was |
| 2136s | excited for other reasons because we're |
| 2138s | getting a new mercy skin that's right |
| 2141s | you can get royal night mercy for 200 |
| 2144s | league tokens now throughout august 19th |
| 2147s | now custa i know that you also like |
| 2149s | mercy like me so what do you think of |
| 2151s | this new skin yeah i actually really |
| 2153s | like it i think it's a cool skin |
| 2154s | everything about it it's very unique to |
| 2156s | what other mercy skins but i'm getting |
| 2158s | like tomb raider vibes like tomb raider |
| 2160s | ps1 from the breastplate so i don't know |
| 2163s | i don't know how to feel about it |
| 2164s | you know how i would feel if i saw a |
| 2167s | hanzo arrow flying at me full speed i |
| 2170s | would wish that i had a mercy |
| 2172s | breastplate like that because it's just |
| 2173s | gonna doink off and i'm protected yeah |
| 2176s | okay you're right you're right you're |
| 2177s | right anything that keeps me alive |
| 2178s | that's all i need |
| 2180s | what is bob made of is he made of plates |
| 2183s | metal because he's a he's a robot right |
| 2185s | is he like resistant to answer arrows |
| 2187s | because he's a bob plate nevermind |
| 2190s | i think we need to discuss this a little |
| 2191s | bit more in depth but we can't do that |
| 2193s | right now because we are going to take a |
| 2194s | short break but when we get back we've |
| 2196s | got our predictions and then we'll do |
| 2198s | our best to defend them and not throw |
| 2200s | stuff at each other on set this time |
| 2203s | again see you on the other side guys |
| 2205s | don't throw the pineapple or the coconut |
| 2207s | because that's put it down |

| 2389s | welcome back to watchpoint as day two of |
| 2392s | the mid-season madness tournament is |
| 2393s | about to start it's time for predictions |
| 2396s | what what's that predictions now instead |
| 2399s | of at the end of the show my lord i'm |
| 2401s | changing everything up new houses |
| 2403s | let's go let's see him let's see |
| 2405s | no |
| 2406s | oh god i'm so out of room i can't wait |
| 2408s | to see what happens |
| 2409s | this whoa |
| 2411s | you did it |
| 2413s | what did you do |
| 2416s | oh |
| 2416s | my god gentlemen gentlemen hear me out |
| 2419s | okay that's disgusting shows i chose the |
| 2422s | outlaws i chose spitfire and i chose the |
| 2424s | spark and i just hear me out okay |
| 2427s | remember |
| 2428s | uh |
| 2430s | i'm good buddies with our friend jake |
| 2432s | who is the assistant coach over on the |
| 2434s | outlaws i have full faith in him and not |
| 2436s | only that but i found out that my buddy |
| 2438s | bishou is over there now too as like a |
| 2440s | manager yeah and that's why i think the |
| 2442s | outlaws are going to take it over the |
| 2443s | gladiators they've got no shot and then |
| 2445s | of course spitfire i'm sticking with |
| 2447s | them they're going to take the shock i |
| 2448s | don't care |
| 2449s | of course and then now hear me out for |
| 2451s | the final prediction okay |
| 2453s | i can't let the spark |
| 2455s | lose |
| 2456s | and potentially have to go against the |
| 2458s | fusion again in the loser's jacket i |
| 2460s | just can't let it happen i'm not strong |
| 2462s | enough i can't let it happen but listen |
| 2464s | that's enough from my very valid |
| 2465s | prediction please philly peso |
| 2468s | oh my god it's so genius oh my god |
| 2470s | because they beat souls you want soul to |
| 2471s | drop down so if you can beat them again |
| 2473s | that's exactly every that was exactly my |
| 2476s | game plan that was going on through my |
| 2477s | head the entire time scott you picked |
| 2480s | seoul so how confident are you in that |
| 2481s | matchup i'm |
| 2483s | kind of confident exactly for the reason |
| 2485s | that johnny just said so you know we're |
| 2487s | going to use some transitive properties |
| 2489s | here hex just taught me that long word |
| 2490s | so uh |
| 2492s | if seoul lose to philly and mn3 being |
| 2495s | sick like we all remember this match of |
| 2496s | m and three clicking heads we all went |
| 2498s | crazy and the fusion beat seoul in this |
| 2500s | matchup so then if |
| 2503s | shai and the hong joe spark beat philly |
| 2507s | then that theoretically means that |
| 2510s | by some form of idea of math or |
| 2512s | something then the spark should beat the |
| 2515s | soul dynasty if it all makes sense so |
| 2518s | there is a chart soul dynasty they are |
| 2520s | one of the favorites heading into this |
| 2521s | tournament they have such a great team |
| 2522s | we highlighted that earlier you know |
| 2524s | profit smurf all that good stuff but if |
| 2527s | shai does |
| 2528s | what he did to mn3 here and he can do |
| 2531s | this again the spark are in for a shot |
| 2532s | and there is always a chance because we |
| 2534s | know how much mn3 did against the sole |
| 2536s | dynasty last time they didn't have an |
| 2538s | answer to that hitscan prowls so yeah |
| 2542s | like |
| 2543s | 70 30. i would say 70 chance soul win 30 |
| 2546s | smart wins |
| 2547s | yeah and look at this this is how much |
| 2550s | shy did against mn3 he went crazy on all |
| 2553s | these heroes he had 20 plus more final |
| 2556s | boys he had 20 more eliminations he had |
| 2558s | 10 less deaths and he did more damage |
| 2561s | than mn3 shy as i said best hit scan in |
| 2564s | the world right now if he can show up |
| 2566s | against seoul dynasty |
| 2567s | it could go crazy it could be an upset |
| 2569s | and then seoul dynasty would lose to |
| 2571s | philadelphia fusion in the lower bracket |
| 2573s | and seoul dynasty get knocked out first |
| 2574s | round like everyone thought |
| 2576s | i like this i like this thought process |
| 2578s | a lot but johnny you like most people |
| 2580s | have picked san francisco but you're |
| 2582s | looking even |
| 2584s | further uh ahead for what this |
| 2585s | tournament could mean for the shock i'm |
| 2587s | looking into the future looking into the |
| 2589s | future looking into the future |
| 2590s | and what do my brain what does my brain |
| 2592s | see well |
| 2594s | success for the san francisco actually |
| 2597s | the good things are coming their way i |
| 2599s | don't know why i'm speaking like a |
| 2600s | wizard because they if they beat the |
| 2602s | london spitfire here today |
| 2604s | it's actually really good for the san |
| 2606s | francisco shock the fact that they're |
| 2607s | avoiding vla gliders and they're |
| 2609s | avoiding the seoul dynasty the two uh |
| 2612s | kickoff clash champions in their |
| 2614s | respective regions so you can see that |
| 2616s | the san francisco shock if the beatles |
| 2617s | spitfire today |
| 2619s | that means that they'll play the winner |
| 2620s | of dallas fuel and the shanghai dragons |
| 2622s | and you know but before we get into like |
| 2624s | oh 2021 you know these teams were |
| 2626s | amazing like both of those teams have |
| 2628s | had their fair share of struggles in |
| 2630s | this stage |
| 2631s | dallas fuel of course they haven't |
| 2633s | really found out their identity shanghai |
| 2634s | dragons just recently found out who they |
| 2637s | were going to be with fate playing the |
| 2638s | wrecking ball and going back to a 21 |
| 2640s | strategy so i think that the summit is |
| 2642s | going to shock they're unbeaten so far |
| 2644s | in the regular season and they struggled |
| 2646s | in the kickoff clash |
| 2647s | tournament itself but if they beat it on |
| 2649s | spitfire here today i would not be |
| 2651s | surprised to see the shock going go on a |
| 2652s | bit of a run in the upper bracket that |
| 2654s | could help them out |
| 2657s | and |
| 2658s | now you've been sharing this player's |
| 2660s | name basically as soon as i pulled into |
| 2662s | the parking lot gospel singing like |
| 2664s | awesome who is proper and why are we so |
| 2667s | crazy to see him play so proper let me |
| 2669s | let me just you know welcome to the |
| 2671s | overwatch league so exciting okay yeah |
| 2672s | proper is the truth okay he is a rookie |
| 2675s | of the year candidate coming in he's an |
| 2677s | mvp of the year candidate so far on ju |
| 2680s | not just his tracy look at those stats |
| 2682s | hero damage final blows number one but |
| 2684s | he has been good at everything else that |
| 2686s | he's ever had to touch for the san |
| 2687s | francisco shock team he can play the |
| 2688s | sojourn he can play the genji he's so |
| 2690s | versatile and that's been such a big |
| 2692s | boon for the san francisco shock this |
| 2694s | season he has been incredible and |
| 2697s | also legally we have to put him in |
| 2699s | everything we have to play um |
| 2702s | it was yeah it was written into his |
| 2703s | contract uh so but proper is that player |
| 2706s | but i do want to caveat this |
| 2708s | in the kickoff clash in the west he did |
| 2710s | not show up in the level that we know |
| 2712s | him for so when he was on land when it |
| 2714s | all came down to it the san francisco |
| 2716s | shocks team said we need to be better in |
| 2718s | the playoffs so that is the player i'm |
| 2719s | primarily looking at for the san |
| 2721s | francisco shock team to take them to |
| 2723s | that next level now that it all matters |
| 2725s | and hey this is hawaii this is the |
| 2727s | tournament gotta show up now and |
| 2729s | especially he has to continue to supply |
| 2731s | us with more obligatory tracer |
| 2733s | highlights yeah we got to keep them |
| 2734s | going got to keep them going |
| 2736s | absolutely zero shortages for us here |
| 2739s | but gentlemen that is it for watchpoint |
| 2742s | day two of the mid-season madness |
| 2744s | tournament starts right now |
| 2746s | let's go |
| 2749s | to the finish line cause we have to get |
| 2751s | it feeling fine keep it up and we'll be |
| 2753s | creeping up one another |
| 2755s | the team hits the shadow of his own and |
| 2757s | pins charon to the wall as long as he |
| 2761s | [Music] |
| 2772s | another one falls |
| 2775s | [Music] |
| 2778s | what the hell did i just win this uh |
| 2781s | pardon all right looks like pork's back |
| 2783s | on the menu boys |
| 2785s | killed two |
| 2786s | and he dropped it sights |
| 2799s | [Music] |
| 2801s | where |
| 2803s | [Music] |
| 2812s | ah yes once again the houston outlaws |
| 2815s | get dragged out to face the los angeles |
| 2817s | gladiators who sort of look around them |
| 2819s | and go right who do we have basically |
| 2821s | nailed down who do we feel most |
| 2823s | confident about getting over here until |
| 2824s | made it very clear last time the |
| 2826s | gladiators played the outlaws i mean we |
| 2828s | think you guys are the minnows here the |
| 2830s | weakest by far we want you to face us |
| 2833s | again matt |
| 2834s | yeah not exactly uh the nicest from the |
| 2837s | gladiators in terms of how they view the |
| 2839s | houston outlaws uh although houston |
| 2842s | feels like i think i saw jake tweet out |
| 2843s | that like it feels like they're all |
| 2845s | starting to hit their stride here uh at |
| 2847s | the right time so maybe the outlaws can |
| 2848s | make some noise i also gotta say uh |
| 2851s | oddly and reinforced definitely tried |
| 2853s | and made attempts and did the hawaii |
| 2855s | thing good scott put zero effort in |
| 2857s | whatsoever well no he said that he was |
| 2859s | wearing the last hawaiian shirt so it |
| 2861s | was more |
| 2862s | simply mentioned well his shirt the one |
| 2864s | he's wearing you know this yeah |
| 2866s | he said i wore this last time i was in |
| 2868s | hawaii you know what i mean so it's kind |
| 2870s | of like |
| 2871s | i don't know i feel it you know he wants |
| 2873s | to try and channel that same energy even |
| 2874s | though he's not sitting in a penthouse |
| 2879s | let me go find a shirt i bought at a |
| 2881s | store in hawaii and be like hey yeah |
| 2883s | this is it like i'm wearing my hawaii |
| 2885s | best today there are mountains on my |
| 2887s | shirt |
| 2889s | there are mountains in hawaii i believe |
| 2890s | i believe these are in mountains yeah |
| 2892s | the only mountain people |
| 2894s | yeah chelsea hates this shirt and she's |
| 2896s | away so i figured why not pull it out |
| 2897s | the only mountain i see is peeking out |
| 2899s | over their shoulders big guy but let's |
| 2900s | talk about this match up here these now |
| 2902s | laws and the los angeles using your uh |
| 2904s | your vo and those in those uh you know |
| 2906s | b-roll things coming up what do you |
| 2908s | think it keeps elevating your head you |
| 2909s | know it's we're gonna be you're gonna |
| 2910s | have to get a bigger box i'll be i'll be |
| 2912s | so i'll be so far off to the side |
| 2914s | they're little tiny boxes |
| 2916s | they've already offset the cameras i use |
| 2918s | a special lens to shrink the size of my |
| 2920s | noggin map but that's just more of like |
| 2921s | a insecurity thing again houston outlaws |
| 2924s | here going to this matchup jake said and |
| 2926s | i quote we're peaking at just the right |
| 2929s | time that's very important in |
| 2930s | tournaments like this one right |
| 2932s | now do you want to peak this early well |
| 2934s | maybe what a slow burn but you really |
| 2936s | have to hit another level against |
| 2937s | opposition like the los angeles |
| 2939s | gladiators man who frankly have been |
| 2940s | just been utterly dominant especially |
| 2942s | where it really counted right we think |
| 2944s | back to texas we think about that |
| 2945s | kickoff clash they were the team they |
| 2947s | like they had a clean sweep win against |
| 2949s | the fuel in that final it was undisputed |
| 2951s | that they were on top but online |
| 2954s | we know the shock have been doing well |
| 2955s | the gladiators still need to double down |
| 2957s | and improve here in this tournament they |
| 2958s | are the best |
| 2960s | yes i mean going into uh the kickoff |
| 2962s | clash like the live event in dallas like |
| 2964s | it was not clear cut that they were like |
| 2966s | the best team right you knew they were |
| 2967s | kind of like in the mix right they had a |
| 2969s | shot i think really proved there though |
| 2971s | uh not only to everybody else but i |
| 2973s | think more importantly to themselves |
| 2974s | right it's given them that confidence to |
| 2976s | then come in have a fantastic mid-season |
| 2978s | madness now looking to you know take |
| 2980s | down a team like the houston outlaws |
| 2982s | push deeper into this tournament uh you |
| 2984s | know good placing here right you know |
| 2986s | combined with some of their things |
| 2987s | they've already done the season gives |
| 2988s | them like a lot of leak points a little |
| 2990s | bit of leeway going with the rest of the |
| 2991s | season but uh confidence has to be at |
| 2994s | all time high there on the gladiator |
| 2995s | side absolutely i hear you guys enjoy |
| 2997s | here cast a start game let's talk about |
| 2999s | this starting lineup here for the |
| 3000s | houston outlaws let's let's get going |
| 3002s | with this match up here pelican and |
| 3003s | merit of course merit the artisan the |
| 3005s | creator of that that triple kill railgun |
| 3007s | shish kabob uh you know bonanza that we |
| 3010s | saw uh on coliseum |
| 3014s | incredible obviously very rarely we see |
| 3016s | like the triple kill of that one shot |
| 3017s | that was a very exciting game this team |
| 3019s | always is very exciting on a map like |
| 3021s | coliseum so i hope to see that one come |
| 3022s | up here |
| 3023s | but but again when it comes to the tank |
| 3025s | play we have a decent idea of what to |
| 3027s | see from these guys right it's the |
| 3028s | pigment the piggy sigma and obviously |
| 3030s | dante turns up and shows us how that |
| 3032s | doomfist goes |
| 3033s | yeah they they know |
| 3035s | uh |
| 3036s | if you're the gladiators you know |
| 3037s | basically by what the outlaws are going |
| 3039s | to come out and do |
| 3041s | uh in terms of the tank roll what kind |
| 3043s | of competitions you're going to get i |
| 3044s | think what that allows the players to do |
| 3046s | is they have so much flexibility just by |
| 3048s | keeping the same team in that they can |
| 3050s | you know plan strats around this |
| 3052s | relatively easily |
| 3054s | no doubt about it i mean this is this is |
| 3056s | a roster here that again it's always |
| 3058s | always always got something to prove |
| 3060s | here in the overwatch league before they |
| 3061s | can even look at taking on their |
| 3062s | opposition across the ocean they have to |
| 3064s | get a quote unquote domestic win here up |
| 3067s | against their opponents today the los |
| 3069s | angeles gladiators who've said that |
| 3071s | their capstone their defining |
| 3073s | achievements so far in the league |
| 3074s | outside of obviously winning the kickoff |
| 3075s | clashes being the most flexible roster |
| 3079s | and that it's kind of hard to argue with |
| 3080s | that especially how padapan very quickly |
| 3083s | got fast tracked into you know a top dps |
| 3085s | after a little slow of a start in that |
| 3088s | kickoff clash now |
| 3089s | there's no doubters left for him |
| 3092s | yeah you can see the gladiators just uh |
| 3095s | oh they're having a little bit of a |
| 3096s | laugh here uh |
| 3098s | it looks like yeah uh kept her |
| 3100s | threatening to throw a mouse across the |
| 3102s | room a pelican pelican was a little bit |
| 3104s | shocking that he started to laugh but |
| 3106s | [Laughter] |
| 3108s | he didn't flip him off i'm certain of |
| 3110s | that there's no way no no he would never |
| 3113s | if he saw some of the supplementary |
| 3115s | content both these teams say that the |
| 3117s | pelican and kempster respectively are |
| 3119s | like the biggest pranksters on their |
| 3121s | role which you wouldn't you wouldn't |
| 3123s | guess like with pelican absolutely every |
| 3126s | time danny interviews him pelican just |
| 3128s | trolls the hell out of the interview |
| 3130s | with like oh yeah piggy wasn't good |
| 3131s | today like needs to get better uh |
| 3133s | kepster you would never guess like just |
| 3136s | whenever we see him on camera just so |
| 3138s | focused like kind of like silent |
| 3139s | assassin type that you would never guess |
| 3141s | that but uh yeah it's quite funny that |
| 3143s | they gave those answers in the uh kind |
| 3145s | of that content leading up yeah i heard |
| 3146s | the gladiators got held up at customs |
| 3148s | trying to get hawaii obviously weapons |
| 3149s | and sharp objects not allowed so trying |
| 3151s | to get ryder's draw line through was a |
| 3153s | bit of a test for them but they |
| 3155s | obviously managed to make that happen |
| 3156s | this team looking ready to roll now as |
| 3158s | liang tower comes up first now again |
| 3160s | it's loser peak for these maps that's |
| 3162s | why the rest of this |
| 3163s | graphic isn't exactly filled in but lee |
| 3166s | jung first amount we've seen both teams |
| 3168s | look pretty uh proficient playing the |
| 3170s | doom fist uh reiner kind of plays |
| 3172s | everything the gladiators have not had |
| 3173s | to sub make any substitutions a tank to |
| 3176s | to have the full array of strategies at |
| 3179s | their disposal which is no mean feat |
| 3183s | and uh in this first map it is the |
| 3185s | higher seeded team that gets to choose |
| 3187s | this first map so uh this is a |
| 3189s | gladiator's map selection uh legion |
| 3191s | tower does have a lot of really good |
| 3193s | doomfist options so it tells you either |
| 3195s | the gladiators feel really confident in |
| 3196s | playing their own doomfist against this |
| 3198s | and they're countering what yellows are |
| 3200s | going to throw at them or they have |
| 3201s | something |
| 3202s | planned whether they want to run like a |
| 3203s | reinhardt let's say in the mix |
| 3207s | be a little surprised here if we get a |
| 3208s | switch look at it as a night market |
| 3210s | first and foremost here |
| 3213s | so gladiators on the doomfist plan seems |
| 3214s | to make perfect sense it's the back |
| 3216s | lines back that are more interesting to |
| 3218s | me right we have lucio here for the |
| 3219s | gladiators |
| 3221s | yeah interesting they'll go lucio with |
| 3222s | an anna so uh a little bit more of like |
| 3225s | a defensive uh backline so to speak like |
| 3227s | with lasher you're getting the discord |
| 3229s | orb on the zenyatta and the batiste with |
| 3231s | some extra damage as well so let's see |
| 3233s | hold on |
| 3234s | into this a rider goes right in and he's |
| 3236s | gonna get taken out that's immortality |
| 3238s | field you straight away though yeah and |
| 3240s | i think it will see mortality field that |
| 3241s | allows the outlaws to punish rhino in |
| 3243s | that way if that's not down there and |
| 3245s | there's multi kills uh that are going to |
| 3248s | occur against the outlaws so good |
| 3249s | response there but iris on baptiste is |
| 3252s | just a match made in heaven at this |
| 3253s | point |
| 3254s | and we talked about the last time we |
| 3256s | cast at the outlaws uh that dante does |
| 3258s | like a really nice job of peeling on the |
| 3260s | doomfist right getting back and |
| 3262s | protecting the supports and when you're |
| 3263s | playing this backline it is all about |
| 3266s | defense i feel like in my mind right |
| 3268s | with the immortality field the extra |
| 3270s | damage with the discord like it's not a |
| 3272s | tremendously high uh you know healing |
| 3274s | high octane setup you got here is the |
| 3276s | gladiators to go in and use that speed |
| 3278s | boost dante maybe realize that where his |
| 3281s | seismic slams would not where he wanted |
| 3282s | to be funny astra able to find that uh |
| 3284s | environmental kill here to start off the |
| 3287s | fight so you're really seeing the |
| 3288s | strength of both of these backlines at |
| 3289s | sort of different points here the glass |
| 3292s | obviously can make it much scarier for |
| 3293s | the outlaws to give up and play around |
| 3294s | the edges of the point with the lucio in |
| 3296s | the mix |
| 3297s | well well that's what happens when the |
| 3299s | immortality field doesn't keep people |
| 3300s | alive right you're able to just get |
| 3302s | right on top and punish and iris is |
| 3305s | going to switch over to the ana so this |
| 3307s | will give a little bit more uh no |
| 3308s | healing output also when the dive comes |
| 3310s | in uh instead of like the immortality |
| 3312s | fields won't have that you'll have a |
| 3313s | biotic grenade you can throw at your |
| 3315s | feet use on the other team that's gonna |
| 3316s | be a two-player biotic grenade right off |
| 3318s | the bat but capture with some kills here |
| 3319s | in the back line may not matter yeah |
| 3321s | follow-up isn't there because the |
| 3322s | gladiator's gonna take the initiative |
| 3323s | away from houston in that fight great |
| 3326s | start there as well with this shoe |
| 3328s | popping off early |
| 3329s | and even though iris you know tried to |
| 3331s | pave the way for the outlaws it's too |
| 3332s | plays it with their bionic magnets just |
| 3334s | no chance really do anything about it |
| 3336s | now it's uh at least even the gladiators |
| 3338s | moving in the lead yeah there was uh |
| 3339s | there was a sleep like as the gladiators |
| 3341s | were pushing towards the spawn uh there |
| 3343s | was a sleep that came in it looked like |
| 3345s | kepster was trying to like body block |
| 3346s | maybe it was like a biotic grenade or |
| 3348s | something but |
| 3348s | end up taking out funny astro but not |
| 3351s | enough speed to get back in the mix |
| 3352s | right fast enough you're gonna have to |
| 3354s | wait here if you're using |
| 3355s | a lot of burst damage there rider who |
| 3357s | has to |
| 3358s | pull out with the medial strike now back |
| 3360s | in position will be topped up some nice |
| 3362s | old percent there for sure to work |
| 3364s | towards find a grenade there to open |
| 3366s | this will just slow the outlaws down it |
| 3367s | might make the sequencing a bit odd for |
| 3369s | dante who's a little caught out of the |
| 3370s | moment he's gonna have to use the medial |
| 3372s | strike as well great timing from funny |
| 3374s | astro hit the sound barrier just in the |
| 3375s | nick of time and here's padapan |
| 3378s | with the overclock |
| 3380s | yeah the transcendence is there but that |
| 3381s | overclock will connect with a headshot |
| 3383s | and take a player out but |
| 3385s | still the gladiators in control oh |
| 3387s | oh i was going to say it look like it's |
| 3389s | going to flip but the 360 shot there |
| 3390s | from petaband also takes out dante |
| 3393s | pulse connection though on shoe pelican |
| 3396s | picks it up a notch in that fight there |
| 3398s | is just as well because if patapan was |
| 3400s | free to start to pressure the point it's |
| 3402s | a scary scenario for the tracer |
| 3404s | yeah another shot there from bonaparte |
| 3406s | you would not have bothered to see that |
| 3408s | if you're the outlaws but nanoboost here |
| 3410s | for both sides so uh potentially just |
| 3413s | nanos for the doomfist uh as they go in |
| 3415s | try and make a play see if kempster can |
| 3417s | land a pulse bomb we saw nice pulse bomb |
| 3419s | out of pelican before |
| 3421s | one from pelican just now |
| 3423s | like you said |
| 3425s | great start in this fight though rhino |
| 3426s | gets nano to blows here or something |
| 3428s | instantly and that really means that the |
| 3429s | gladiators are now home free they don't |
| 3431s | need to spend any more and heading into |
| 3433s | last fight territory with a flip here |
| 3436s | yeah no nano used there by the outlaws |
| 3438s | so it'll be pelican cannon get a touch |
| 3440s | you can potentially use the nano here |
| 3442s | even on telastro you wanted we've seen a |
| 3444s | lot of teams get the nano over to the |
| 3446s | zen to |
| 3447s | know make them even stronger right in |
| 3449s | terms of damage but also survivability |
| 3452s | merit here just trying to poke from |
| 3454s | medium range catch to those on the lurk |
| 3456s | left side of your screen |
| 3458s | pulse |
| 3459s | thinks better of it actually just gonna |
| 3460s | recall instead merit under pressure but |
| 3462s | he's about to deal with rhino the |
| 3463s | doomfist is down for the gladiators now |
| 3465s | this pulse bomb is even more important |
| 3468s | let's just seize the power slide and |
| 3470s | iris pulse there iris doesn't get close |
| 3472s | enough though to trade and so he goes |
| 3474s | down kempton picks himself back up and |
| 3475s | shoes found last row this is good for |
| 3477s | the clutch but they lost the flip midway |
| 3479s | through the fight so they won't win the |
| 3480s | round here and now |
| 3483s | hey they might though you're gonna have |
| 3484s | some players still here for the |
| 3486s | gladiators gonna end up flipping the |
| 3487s | point is pelicans going to get untouched |
| 3489s | he may not even get used to this nano |
| 3491s | boost if you're the outlaws that's the |
| 3492s | recall now pelicans got nothing left in |
| 3494s | the tank he cannot get away over time |
| 3496s | though we're still going because dante |
| 3497s | is back on the scene now that who's now |
| 3499s | for the doomfist destroyer tries to turn |
| 3500s | and get the seismic same slow in the |
| 3502s | back line of the outlaws but dante tries |
| 3504s | to dig a little bit deeper and he gets |
| 3506s | padded that's perfect with four players |
| 3508s | the houston outlaws come back onto the |
| 3509s | point pelicans set up the stall but the |
| 3512s | yellows aren't done yet ryder flattening |
| 3514s | merit coming down with a medial strike |
| 3516s | he's done he's forced off and the |
| 3518s | gladiators sneak this one away it's a |
| 3520s | little messy at the end there but a c9 |
| 3522s | is a bit of a stretch there kev |
| 3524s | yeah i i don't think so look like dante |
| 3526s | may have used the seismic slam to get |
| 3527s | out of the way of the meteor strike and |
| 3529s | then as he's trying to get back onto the |
| 3531s | point just gets punched off of it uh |
| 3533s | wouldn't exactly call it a c9 but you |
| 3535s | know what though uh |
| 3537s | you're sharing the same room you see |
| 3538s | type c9 in the chat everybody on your |
| 3540s | side gets a little bit of a laugh it |
| 3542s | makes it makes it even more of a feels |
| 3544s | bad for the outlaws as uh the |
| 3546s | multipliers are about to start crossing |
| 3547s | the room |
| 3549s | yeah yeah you know they should have |
| 3550s | brought in some you know call of duty |
| 3552s | players coaches here yeah coming in kind |
| 3554s | of hawaii would have paid off paid off |
| 3557s | in the setup but |
| 3559s | uh we'll see what the outlaws probably |
| 3561s | go back to the tracer like i don't think |
| 3563s | they'll change anything up here i think |
| 3564s | you'll probably see oh okay so we're |
| 3566s | gonna see genji from the elbows you're |
| 3567s | also gonna see it from the gladiators |
| 3569s | but they're gonna keep the tracer in the |
| 3570s | mix so yeah ditching the sojourn here |
| 3573s | interesting both teams valuing genji but |
| 3575s | in different ways at least in comparison |
| 3577s | to |
| 3578s | some of these other dps heroes |
| 3581s | genji funny astro gonna chip in there |
| 3583s | and make sure pelican is |
| 3584s | taken down far too early the gladiators |
| 3586s | are in sync right now |
| 3589s | and i think when you kind of think about |
| 3591s | this point right and the surgeon's so |
| 3593s | good for like consistent damage and some |
| 3595s | you know medium to long range like kills |
| 3598s | uh with the sniper rail gun shot like |
| 3600s | what opportunity do you have that here |
| 3602s | especially because the outlaws came out |
| 3603s | there running the lusu here at the start |
| 3604s | right so they wanted to play a little |
| 3606s | bit you know faster and more aggressive |
| 3608s | you can play the tracer with the genji |
| 3610s | and get kind of your traditional type of |
| 3612s | dive going on but now the outlaws are |
| 3614s | going to switch things up last sure will |
| 3615s | come in on the zen and then you're going |
| 3617s | to have pelican move away from genji and |
| 3619s | he'll play the echo so want to move away |
| 3621s | from like that dive competition |
| 3622s | altogether |
| 3625s | pelican obviously wants to try and fill |
| 3627s | one of his opponents really early in the |
| 3628s | fight right that sort of burst impulse |
| 3630s | that can be provided there it is |
| 3632s | gets burnt down and that's a great |
| 3633s | defensive disrupter shot |
| 3635s | can't get close enough because the |
| 3637s | soldier at aoe very clever |
| 3640s | yeah basically just drops the disruptor |
| 3642s | shot on his back line and you can't just |
| 3645s | run into that right it's going to slow |
| 3646s | it's going to be very difficult |
| 3648s | especially with just the squishier |
| 3649s | targets |
| 3650s | for the gladiators so |
| 3652s | not able to run a really interesting use |
| 3653s | of the ability there for merit inside |
| 3655s | you'll have reiner go down but it looks |
| 3657s | like the gladiators want to push forward |
| 3659s | a little bit here poke a bit |
| 3661s | he's gonna have both supports coming |
| 3663s | online oh they use a nano and going |
| 3664s | straight away this is interesting |
| 3665s | because you're not at full strength you |
| 3667s | have the glass |
| 3668s | i like this stuff from the outlaws again |
| 3670s | you try and set the pace yourself and |
| 3672s | therefore i don't think dante expects to |
| 3673s | catch astral with that meteor strike so |
| 3675s | he'll be pleased with that one |
| 3677s | and that's all he really needs without |
| 3678s | the lucio the gladiators don't really |
| 3680s | have the maneuverability to get |
| 3682s | any opportunities to take the outlaws by |
| 3683s | surprise here |
| 3684s | well yeah you know you're gonna use two |
| 3686s | alts there though for houston and you're |
| 3688s | only gonna get to about even like maybe |
| 3690s | wait a little bit the gladiator's gonna |
| 3691s | pull straight away and that's gonna be a |
| 3693s | sound barrier combined with the meteor |
| 3695s | strike that's gonna be three kills |
| 3697s | straight away for the gladiators |
| 3699s | right so two ultimates for two ultimates |
| 3701s | matthew but the gladiators now |
| 3703s | are about to head back into the lead and |
| 3704s | the outlaws don't have too much left in |
| 3706s | the war chest |
| 3708s | being overclocked here from eric |
| 3710s | you know this is gonna be a potential |
| 3711s | fight win here for the gladiators you |
| 3713s | feel really good about it with a nano |
| 3714s | blade on deck |
| 3717s | so then what you're looking at getting |
| 3718s | up to like 70 plus percent depending on |
| 3721s | you know when that fight kicks off then |
| 3722s | you know if that ultimate goes away you |
| 3724s | think it does |
| 3726s | ryder there just |
| 3727s | forces the uh the immediate right click |
| 3730s | punch from dante hoping to interrupt |
| 3731s | them but here's that blade coming in |
| 3733s | nano of course last row is out of |
| 3735s | options in time |
| 3737s | pelicans seen better days as well kept |
| 3739s | is going to finish that kill off there |
| 3740s | and the gladiators make it two in a row |
| 3743s | that was their ultimate bank spent |
| 3744s | though now and the outlaws are coming |
| 3746s | back to a peak in their economy it's |
| 3748s | gonna have to be now |
| 3750s | but still enough in a scenario like this |
| 3752s | and when you're getting to last by |
| 3754s | territory on a map then the pulse bomb |
| 3756s | onto a support is enough to like change |
| 3758s | the the tide here now last year will |
| 3760s | have the transcendence but still oh that |
| 3762s | it's going to be a big dive coming in as |
| 3764s | reiner collapses with potable that's a |
| 3766s | nice part of grenade there from the |
| 3768s | outlaws here nails that one and merits |
| 3770s | able to start to push through a little |
| 3771s | bit more with that overclock |
| 3773s | okay nano here |
| 3777s | oh well it's a pelicans none yeah so |
| 3779s | it's so freaking just |
| 3782s | it's free like uh didn't really do |
| 3784s | anything but you may as well pop it uh |
| 3787s | in case the gliders start to march on in |
| 3789s | so outlaws have to be perfect from here |
| 3791s | on out you have both support alts here |
| 3793s | so pretty big advantage for houston as |
| 3795s | gladiators make a change and pattern |
| 3797s | going over to the sojourn here late |
| 3800s | all right |
| 3803s | won't be thinking about ultimate he |
| 3805s | maybe just dropped a shot to sort of |
| 3806s | this way but it won't work the same way |
| 3808s | against the composition that's certainly |
| 3810s | trying to dive in the same way pelican |
| 3812s | kept topped up in their left-hand side |
| 3813s | room though when rhino goes overhead |
| 3814s | good sound barrier typing from funny |
| 3816s | astro |
| 3817s | just quickly enough so the rider |
| 3818s | survives and now can get out with a |
| 3820s | meteor strike pelican is brought down by |
| 3821s | a rail gun and kev has been mostly |
| 3823s | undeterred for much of this fight again |
| 3825s | very defensive zoning here with that |
| 3827s | destructive shot but |
| 3829s | that's enough time at least for dante to |
| 3830s | get rid of shoot gesture being harassed |
| 3832s | by the doomfist they're padded pun |
| 3833s | that's a crucial kill he has a doom in |
| 3835s | his face man and he gets both of them |
| 3840s | he's not going to live for long though |
| 3841s | and pelicans going to get a nano on the |
| 3842s | way in |
| 3843s | tracing natto here pelican only has a |
| 3845s | few seconds to make this work greiner's |
| 3847s | going to be topped up though when |
| 3848s | pelican has to recall here another |
| 3849s | disrupt the shot thrown down by merit to |
| 3852s | create a little bit of that space but |
| 3853s | it's the gladiators holding the point |
| 3855s | right now and iris is down pelican is |
| 3857s | too late to save his arda and now he |
| 3859s | might be in trouble himself capture |
| 3860s | wants to try and control that mega |
| 3862s | health pack he picks it up and rhino's |
| 3863s | gonna back away here power block gives |
| 3865s | enough time for shoe to top him up and |
| 3867s | it's all the gladiators here |
| 3869s | they'll be looking just to finish the |
| 3870s | job now and lee jung tower |
| 3873s | goes away the purple |
| 3875s | and it was two pushes that started the |
| 3877s | same way and had the same type of action |
| 3879s | or really the ones that decided that |
| 3881s | round when funny ass show was able to |
| 3883s | follow up reiner uh who's using the |
| 3886s | meteor strike and going in with the |
| 3887s | seismic slam with that sound barrier |
| 3889s | that's when they saw tremendous results |
| 3890s | it was like patapon and reiner going in |
| 3892s | picking up some kills that first time |
| 3894s | and then you know reiner and kevster the |
| 3896s | second time but man that collapse is |
| 3898s | really strong there from the gladiators |
| 3900s | right it's a great example they win two |
| 3902s | fights in a row with ultimates that's |
| 3903s | third they have to kind of do it without |
| 3905s | you mention like a |
| 3906s | capture pole on our support it doesn't |
| 3908s | happen but they still win the fight |
| 3910s | because of that doom and genji dive |
| 3912s | another example of the gladiators |
| 3914s | showing flexibility with a switch in |
| 3915s | that second round to give them success |
| 3918s | don't go too far everybody this is far |
| 3920s | from done we'll see what the outlaws |
| 3921s | have for their map pick |

| 4146s | huh |
| 4152s | [Music] |
| 4175s | [Music] |
| 4186s | in many ways these two teams are |
| 4188s | fighting for the chance of right i guess |
| 4189s | you could say to take on one of the best |
| 4192s | teams from the eastern region the winner |
| 4194s | between the outlaws and the gladiators |
| 4196s | only will advance of course in this |
| 4197s | upper bracket we're going to take on the |
| 4199s | winner of the hundred spark and the |
| 4202s | seoul dynasty there's been a lot of talk |
| 4204s | especially from the west about saying |
| 4205s | how they feel like they are well |
| 4206s | positioned to be the best region with |
| 4207s | the best teams that'll be their chance |
| 4209s | to prove it but in order to do so of |
| 4211s | course we have this the matter of this |
| 4213s | match to deal with here matt the |
| 4215s | gladiators go for like a different back |
| 4216s | line to start with here the outlaws |
| 4218s | trying to baptise look on lee jung tower |
| 4220s | it kind of it doesn't really work out |
| 4222s | they end up going for the anna and then |
| 4224s | the rosters look fairly similar with |
| 4225s | their picks but here in the second map |
| 4227s | we have dante coming out piggy coming in |
| 4231s | what are we seeing here |
| 4233s | uh well so the map will be midtown that |
| 4235s | is the outlaws pick uh i think you're |
| 4238s | gonna see sigma compositions right when |
| 4239s | you see that uh piggy comes in he's |
| 4242s | gonna come in probably play the sigma uh |
| 4244s | no changes for the tank on the |
| 4246s | gladiators like we mentioned i know |
| 4248s | reiner has been able to play just about |
| 4249s | everything they need and even i know if |
| 4251s | he doesn't play this sigma able to work |
| 4253s | some other things in that have been |
| 4254s | successful they actually bring in skewed |
| 4256s | so |
| 4258s | that'll be their big change skewed in |
| 4259s | for funny astro uh |
| 4261s | i thought that when the gladiators were |
| 4263s | like really upping the pace i think |
| 4264s | that's when the outlaws started to like |
| 4266s | struggle against it right uh you know |
| 4268s | really gave the backline some problems |
| 4270s | and just the outlaws not able to come |
| 4272s | out on top and some of those like more |
| 4274s | frenetic engagements but now maybe for |
| 4276s | the outlaws right you can bring in a |
| 4277s | little bit of a sigma composition slow |
| 4279s | things down here on hybrid |
| 4282s | definitely a sense that you know once we |
| 4284s | saw the tempo taken by the gladiators |
| 4286s | they just refused to let it go right |
| 4288s | refused to give it back the outlaws had |
| 4290s | a couple of scrappy engagements where |
| 4291s | they tried to take the upper hand or at |
| 4293s | least get control but it seemed harder |
| 4295s | for them it seems a little bit more |
| 4296s | difficult for them to have as clean |
| 4298s | executions as the outlaws so sigma here |
| 4302s | uh you know |
| 4303s | presumably is what we would see from |
| 4305s | piggy uh as that's what he's shown us |
| 4307s | obviously a few times he's always coming |
| 4309s | in for circuit royale for example |
| 4311s | uh yeah and obviously you know we know |
| 4312s | what skew plays right we see a lot of |
| 4314s | the the brigitte from spewed uh |
| 4316s | especially |
| 4317s | the kind of player i think that is uh |
| 4319s | really managed to nail down a lot not |
| 4321s | more than just the fundamentals of brig |
| 4323s | but also uh a lot of those finer points |
| 4325s | here so smiles here on the |
| 4328s | faces |
| 4330s | what do you potentially see like a brig |
| 4332s | zen type of setup uh no potentially for |
| 4335s | a team like the gladiators right um |
| 4338s | maybe even see that uh skewed comes in |
| 4341s | and uh you know plays |
| 4343s | i mean they could play a lot of |
| 4344s | different things but really the only |
| 4345s | thing that they lose here is the lucio |
| 4346s | right everything else they're able to |
| 4348s | kind of cover |
| 4350s | uh but |
| 4351s | in my opinion skewed probably comes in |
| 4353s | to play the break right we know how good |
| 4355s | he is in that hero yeah there is the |
| 4356s | option for like uh |
| 4358s | you know with this back line you can see |
| 4360s | like zen batiste or uh |
| 4362s | potentially as well so double sort of |
| 4365s | flex support as we use that sort of |
| 4367s | rather antiquated term is is on the |
| 4369s | table between these two but that's |
| 4370s | something that the outlaws have baked |
| 4372s | into their roster by default between |
| 4374s | iris and lastro uh lester of course you |
| 4376s | know really really prolific especially |
| 4379s | baptiste player in the past uh it's |
| 4381s | always iris so you have a lot of options |
| 4383s | there for houston both these teams |
| 4385s | looking maybe for compositions that |
| 4387s | offer them the greatest degree of |
| 4388s | flexibility heading into a map with a |
| 4390s | lot of different strategies and kind of |
| 4393s | different parts of the map that maybe |
| 4394s | dictate uh |
| 4396s | you know changes in approach here the |
| 4397s | outlaws will be defending on midtown to |
| 4399s | start |
| 4401s | and i think this is like an essential |
| 4403s | map for the outlaws uh obviously you |
| 4405s | wouldn't want to go down o2 but if you |
| 4408s | kind of play your doomfist set up on |
| 4410s | lijang which is like a pretty pretty |
| 4411s | good doomfist map right then you come in |
| 4413s | here and try something different with |
| 4414s | like a sigma and slow down approach and |
| 4417s | the gladiators really have to make |
| 4418s | minimal |
| 4420s | mineral changes to make things work and |
| 4422s | win i think that really makes it |
| 4424s | difficult on like what do you do for |
| 4425s | that third map right uh going into like |
| 4428s | an escort like which |
| 4430s | which do you decide to go with i think |
| 4431s | it'd be really difficult |
| 4433s | and this is uh |
| 4435s | i would say not an uncommon response to |
| 4438s | you know like the expectation |
| 4447s | i mean that's what we talked about a |
| 4448s | little bit at the beginning right it's |
| 4449s | very uh it's very telling uh who's going |
| 4453s | to be uh by who's in what tank you're |
| 4455s | going to get and what's craziest like i |
| 4458s | think every team knows that with the |
| 4459s | outlaws but they've been able to play at |
| 4461s | such a high level like piggy is so good |
| 4463s | on the sigma and then dante on the |
| 4464s | doofus has been tremendous like they're |
| 4466s | able to win on top of it uh it's just |
| 4468s | can you win at this level right like in |
| 4470s | a tournament scenario especially uh |
| 4472s | knowing a loser pick map scenario uh |
| 4474s | that we would get into here like let's |
| 4476s | see if the outlaws won probably becomes |
| 4478s | even tougher |
| 4479s | a lot of what the gladiators are gonna |
| 4480s | try and do here is ignore piggy actually |
| 4483s | just try and go around him if possible |
| 4485s | we often see defensive signals like go |
| 4487s | up the stairs right where piggy is and |
| 4488s | like play this high ground there's like |
| 4490s | off angle signal which we used to see |
| 4491s | like double tank play in overwatch one |
| 4494s | but again if you can sort of get past |
| 4496s | him find someone else to focus down it's |
| 4498s | pretty good also we've seen doomfist |
| 4499s | used to like knock the knock him off the |
| 4501s | high ground here but look i mean yeah |
| 4503s | ryan is in and piggy is |
| 4505s | not really able to directly interact |
| 4506s | right now they might try and pressure |
| 4508s | him directly though |
| 4510s | yeah interesting they kind of got reiner |
| 4512s | all the way through and then instead of |
| 4514s | uh waiting for his jump cool down and |
| 4516s | kind of playing for his support maybe in |
| 4518s | the back corner they actually have to |
| 4519s | just go right back towards piggy up by |
| 4521s | the subway i think a lot of the |
| 4522s | disruption potential comes from someone |
| 4524s | like pelican right to what degree can he |
| 4526s | put pressure on skewed and actually |
| 4528s | hover around that back line of the |
| 4529s | gladiator as well los angeles taking a |
| 4531s | fair amount of time to to sort of decide |
| 4534s | where to go here they're a composition |
| 4536s | that has to die but he has to be |
| 4537s | decisive and this milling about leaves |
| 4539s | him vulnerable for pelican to dive in |
| 4542s | i was gonna say you can only play in |
| 4543s | that open for so long |
| 4545s | like |
| 4546s | as a winston would just bubble against |
| 4549s | the type of damage especially with the |
| 4551s | discord or in the mix that the outlaws |
| 4553s | are putting out |
| 4554s | now reiner falls there |
| 4556s | it's gonna get merit and you're gonna |
| 4557s | have reiner coming back off spawn you're |
| 4558s | gonna have a nano boost here so this |
| 4560s | could be pretty good for the gladiators |
| 4561s | and that's an argument for the mulling |
| 4563s | about face right just allow |
| 4565s | to get good position this is quite a |
| 4567s | quite good position on top of the fire |
| 4568s | truck and find a pick and that really |
| 4571s | weakens the houston outlaws here then |
| 4572s | we'll try and play out with the sigma |
| 4574s | but it's a little uncomfortable moving |
| 4576s | into the open with that shield as it's |
| 4577s | obviously not only directional and there |
| 4579s | it is look i mean he's being ignored |
| 4581s | right now it's under the back line of |
| 4583s | the outlaws and iris gets popped like a |
| 4585s | balloon |
| 4586s | and i mean it's a nice accretion there |
| 4588s | but it doesn't really matter is yeah |
| 4590s | piggy moves out gets the nano what you |
| 4592s | have reiner and capture go right around |
| 4594s | him and then everybody else he's looking |
| 4596s | at just backs up |
| 4597s | and he's just kind of stuck hanging out |
| 4599s | in the middle of the point with a nano |
| 4601s | boost on him and uh can't really do much |
| 4604s | and look at this kepster's push up |
| 4605s | trying to get this top bridge control |
| 4607s | right away uh gladiators want to deny |
| 4610s | this area of the map |
| 4611s | but but this leads back to our |
| 4613s | discussion right at the start of this |
| 4614s | series man as to why flexibility is the |
| 4616s | main attribute that's going to be under |
| 4618s | scrutiny for these teams today it's not |
| 4620s | a big deal if teams know you're going to |
| 4622s | play sigma it is a big deal if they play |
| 4624s | around the sigma with the knowledge that |
| 4626s | he's coming into a pick like winston and |
| 4628s | sort of punish your lack of mobility |
| 4632s | flux here did it actually catch upon it |
| 4635s | does that's gonna be kept with a blade |
| 4637s | reiner gets put to sleep but it may not |
| 4638s | matter |
| 4640s | i'm pretty sure kevin deflected |
| 4642s | someone's projectile into iris's noggin |
| 4644s | there and then he's able to find a blade |
| 4646s | kill so very good start for the |
| 4647s | gladiators here and guess who's last |
| 4648s | alive it's the tank |
| 4651s | that's a very good sign for an attacking |
| 4653s | team if the you know the tank is sort of |
| 4654s | sat there looking like a you know |
| 4655s | stunned mullet with no ability to impact |
| 4657s | the fight |
| 4659s | yeah and the blade gets used by kebster |
| 4661s | and he switches off right away and okay |
| 4663s | we're going to get piggy on winston here |
| 4664s | so |
| 4666s | sees that this sigma is not going to |
| 4667s | work out going to go over to the winston |
| 4669s | uh piggy traditionally in overwatch one |
| 4671s | like an off-tank player really thinks |
| 4673s | like i know divas sigma so winston not a |
| 4676s | hero we seem to play it's fun of in the |
| 4678s | pants but very powerful hero just |
| 4680s | fundamentally here so let's see what |
| 4681s | piggy can do with that skill set well |
| 4683s | he's very good at turning around and |
| 4685s | showing his tail for this match |
| 4688s | and this is why a team like the atlanta |
| 4689s | rain uh we talked about it weeks ago |
| 4691s | where brad came out and said that they |
| 4692s | want to like try and really mold hawk |
| 4694s | into playing all the different roles |
| 4695s | uh i think that's like a really good |
| 4698s | approach because |
| 4699s | you have to have the tanks be able to |
| 4700s | play just about everything especially in |
| 4702s | the game that we're in |
| 4703s | currently uh one also thing in |
| 4705s | flexibility we've talked about like the |
| 4706s | tanks it's fun right uh you've had uh |
| 4709s | pada pan play the genji you've got |
| 4711s | kepster play the genji like the dps here |
| 4714s | for the gladiators they're so flexible |
| 4715s | between the two of them as well can play |
| 4717s | just about everything it's projectile or |
| 4721s | yeah there aren't any hitscan players |
| 4722s | that can play genji like name |
| 4724s | more than three i would say at this |
| 4726s | level it's very hard to do so very |
| 4728s | unique about patapon good sleep on rhino |
| 4730s | though iris standing up for accounts |
| 4732s | here there's a blade from pelican who |
| 4734s | seems to have a |
| 4736s | lack of targets the least valid ones at |
| 4738s | this time they're going to find rhino |
| 4739s | with that whale gun winston they waited |
| 4741s | out that nano boost on the sleeping |
| 4743s | winston |
| 4744s | and now pelican has found kepster going |
| 4746s | up he says |
| 4748s | the time has been pretty good though for |
| 4750s | the gladiators you've gotten around this |
| 4752s | uh you know second corner with that |
| 4754s | payload already three minutes plus on |
| 4756s | the clock it looks like pelican |
| 4757s | potentially is going back to the spawn |
| 4759s | to make a switch so we'll have to keep |
| 4760s | an eye on his portrait but incoming all |
| 4762s | right yeah |
| 4764s | interesting that wants to play the echo |
| 4766s | when they switch to the tracer because |
| 4768s | typically you would think that tracer is |
| 4769s | like pretty good uh against them |
| 4773s | he's the piggy dive |
| 4774s | did actually i want to put a shield down |
| 4776s | to try and break up some of the healing |
| 4777s | for piggy but it's a sleep dad but |
| 4779s | pelican having switched to the echo just |
| 4781s | now finds his way in burns shoe down so |
| 4782s | it's a trade here but the gladiators |
| 4784s | lack their honor and that's definitely |
| 4786s | going to slow them down in a big way and |
| 4788s | i kind of like i mean i don't know what |
| 4789s | you think about but i'll have the effort |
| 4790s | here as an extra deterrent against the |
| 4792s | winston that burst against tanks seems |
| 4794s | pretty helpful here |
| 4796s | yeah i mean you may think that the echo |
| 4797s | is |
| 4798s | really good against the winston to be |
| 4800s | able to like burn him down with the |
| 4802s | focusing beam also being able to get in |
| 4804s | put pressure on the supports |
| 4805s | uh |
| 4806s | you know you do have to be careful of |
| 4808s | kepster though because he just starts to |
| 4809s | run crazy a bit |
| 4811s | pulse from kepster speaking of which no |
| 4812s | connection there but apart open up the |
| 4814s | account found that railgun kill |
| 4816s | piggy slept that's big and scooters |
| 4818s | gonna be able to walk away from this one |
| 4820s | just kicked them in |
| 4822s | humane treatment |
| 4824s | of the angry simeon and yet the |
| 4826s | gladiators had moved the car to do this |
| 4829s | and piggy had ended up using uh his |
| 4831s | primal rage there i don't know whether |
| 4833s | it got off or whether he was like biotic |
| 4835s | or needed didn't get like any of the |
| 4836s | effects of the heel but man that is |
| 4838s | brutal especially at this last time |
| 4839s | where you can stall and the gladiator is |
| 4841s | going to come up on four ultimates oh |
| 4843s | yeah he could have bioed it could have |
| 4844s | been that when you nano someone right |
| 4846s | and there's that sort of window where it |
| 4847s | has to connect i'm not really sure |
| 4849s | either way he's lost that key ultimate |
| 4851s | matthew well spotted rhino has a primal |
| 4853s | though merit back towards the car now as |
| 4855s | he's just caught in the sights of rhino |
| 4858s | now with one swipe gonna be another |
| 4860s | elimination for the winston very clean |
| 4862s | stuff from the gladiators here the |
| 4864s | winston comp |
| 4865s | from start to finish looking stellar |
| 4868s | i'd also say when the outlaw switched to |
| 4869s | the winston complex it wasn't bad uh you |
| 4871s | know they were able to get a few holes |
| 4873s | there consistently once they went over |
| 4875s | to that winston it was really when they |
| 4876s | were trying to play this sigma which is |
| 4878s | why they have piggy in the game |
| 4879s | primarily uh that's when the gladiators |
| 4881s | are able to get most of their progress |
| 4883s | done so uh we'll see what the the |
| 4886s | outlaws decide to do on uh offense here |
| 4889s | it'll be interesting what they what they |
| 4891s | do do you go with a sigma-based offense |
| 4893s | and try and take some of the tiger and |
| 4894s | play a little bit slower uh |
| 4897s | because you're going to see probably the |
| 4898s | winston at the choke for the gladiators |
| 4899s | which could be pretty strong |
| 4901s | pad upon |
| 4903s | uh making it clear in chat yeah he's |
| 4905s | nine final blows and zero deaths right |
| 4906s | now fifteen and i presumably limbs |
| 4910s | but look i don't think you're happy |
| 4911s | about his stats versus kepster i don't |
| 4913s | even think he was really worried about |
| 4915s | the outfit yeah yeah kevster is number |
| 4917s | two yeah i mean we're concerned with |
| 4919s | kevster that's a pl i'm i don't |
| 4922s | there were a lot of players that have |
| 4923s | faced like extra scrutiny in the |
| 4925s | overwatch league in in the past right |
| 4927s | yeah i think that you know as we see |
| 4929s | this pad upon clip here i think patapan |
| 4930s | is obviously one of them right he's |
| 4931s | pretty clear to see that |
| 4933s | while he staved off a lot of the |
| 4935s | criticism i sort of shrugged it off |
| 4937s | publicly that he saw in the kickoff |
| 4939s | clash like it definitely affected him so |
| 4941s | emotional when they won that kickoff |
| 4943s | crash finally you could see how much it |
| 4944s | meant to sort of prove everyone wrong so |
| 4945s | i'm sure patapan is more than happy to |
| 4947s | keep reminding people who's top dog in |
| 4949s | cases like this |
| 4951s | well i think now you see that as he's |
| 4953s | gotten over that hump and the team |
| 4955s | really kind of getting over it as well |
| 4957s | by winning the kickoff clash |
| 4959s | it's allowed him to play a little bit |
| 4961s | more free a little bit more loose uh now |
| 4963s | he's kind of gone that off his back |
| 4965s | already and he's been playing phenomenal |
| 4967s | ever since right he had a great kickoff |
| 4969s | clash tournament been looking great ever |
| 4971s | since so interesting uh the outlaws they |
| 4973s | were coming out on a winston-based |
| 4974s | composition maybe thinking that there |
| 4976s | was going to be either you know the |
| 4977s | winston based |
| 4978s | uh com glad here's the other side but |
| 4980s | it's doomfist so yeah i'll switch now |
| 4982s | back to the sigma cop so they'll play |
| 4984s | sigma with the echo here |
| 4987s | definitely know that pelicans probably |
| 4988s | happy to see you do this there is |
| 4991s | really hard for doomfist to interact |
| 4992s | with the echo at all |
| 4994s | why we saw that picked early in the |
| 4996s | kickoff clash on a lot of those doomfist |
| 4998s | maps but |
| 4999s | reiner can still do a lot of work and |
| 5000s | this is what panapan does and i wanted |
| 5001s | to bring this up the style of the round |
| 5003s | it seems like a matter of time in so |
| 5004s | many of these fights matt when pada |
| 5006s | palms on sojourn but he just |
| 5007s | manufactures a pit whether it's on |
| 5009s | attack and it gives him a point on |
| 5011s | defense here or just buys like an extra |
| 5013s | 30 to 40 seconds |
| 5015s | well the sigma shield is not large |
| 5016s | enough to cover most of the choke right |
| 5019s | uh so he's able to get a sight line on |
| 5022s | some players coming in and last show a |
| 5024s | very slow target |
| 5026s | you know moving on this end let's be |
| 5028s | really careful same with the heroes |
| 5029s | right |
| 5030s | so we'll see if they can get these two |
| 5032s | supports through the choke alive cause |
| 5034s | cinderella's trying to play with this |
| 5035s | left building but oh it's gonna be |
| 5037s | playing again |
| 5038s | kill on a pelican |
| 5040s | i know i get it for some frustration |
| 5042s | maybe as well piggy's already so far |
| 5043s | forward that he can't get out |
| 5046s | not expecting lobster them to lose their |
| 5048s | echo here so two degree outlaws you know |
| 5050s | come here |
| 5052s | give up a decent amount of old |
| 5053s | percentage here and sort of have to back |
| 5055s | away |
| 5057s | there's not really a lot of speed to get |
| 5058s | players on the outlaws in right not |
| 5060s | running like a lucio uh the winston |
| 5062s | bubble |
| 5063s | although it is static same kind of like |
| 5065s | ones that's placed down like the sigma |
| 5067s | one uh just |
| 5068s | way bigger uh you know dome shape so |
| 5071s | pelican goes over to tracer here this |
| 5073s | allows them to get behind enemy lines a |
| 5075s | bit easier |
| 5076s | uh |
| 5079s | but even if you did get behind enemy |
| 5080s | lines like where they are i mean they're |
| 5082s | unreal nothing |
| 5083s | there's not really a lot you can do from |
| 5085s | that position with the heroes you can |
| 5088s | yellows haven't really had any pushes |
| 5089s | here mitch |
| 5090s | i mean just been eating how do you get |
| 5092s | the kill at the choke every time their |
| 5094s | composition is unwieldy it takes time to |
| 5096s | get them in position and then they need |
| 5097s | to stay alive while they get a pick |
| 5100s | right pelican switch off the echo right |
| 5101s | he realizes that it's too risky to hang |
| 5103s | there suspended in mid-air but i mean |
| 5106s | this is a great example of why this is |
| 5107s | so good why does not even play |
| 5109s | aggressively right now matt he doesn't |
| 5110s | have to no and that's what i was just |
| 5113s | going to say what the outlaws probably |
| 5115s | want to take a advantage of is that this |
| 5117s | is going to be asleep yeah a bunch of |
| 5119s | players coming in all the boys turned up |
| 5121s | for that one |
| 5123s | oh it actually doesn't move why |
| 5127s | um |
| 5128s | what you think this comp would be good |
| 5129s | for if you are the outlaws is like |
| 5131s | taking advantage of reiner when he dives |
| 5134s | in but he doesn't even have to because |
| 5135s | the kills are just coming in at long |
| 5137s | range |
| 5138s | i mean that's a great point the sigma is |
| 5139s | supposed to be reactive against the dive |
| 5141s | you hit him with an accretion right |
| 5142s | while he's power blocking or something |
| 5144s | oh my goodness yeah he's bouncing back |
| 5148s | i haven't seen them i haven't seen the |
| 5150s | dab since i was 18 what is going on oh |
| 5154s | oh man |
| 5156s | i mean that's how you know you're |
| 5157s | rolling |
| 5158s | just a little bit of a smile oh yeah |
| 5160s | this is a boy these boys look at this |
| 5162s | zarya |
| 5163s | so this is like old |
| 5165s | composition we haven't seen this in him |
| 5167s | in a while uh kepster with a blade the |
| 5170s | last show with the transcendence have to |
| 5172s | you have to keep my shirt alive here do |
| 5173s | this choke |
| 5176s | piggy takes a ton of damage trying to be |
| 5179s | fairly conservative with these bubbles |
| 5180s | but these charges nothing really to |
| 5182s | write home about and there it is another |
| 5183s | pick this time skewed he used that |
| 5185s | transcendence i guess pelican was |
| 5187s | putting some pressure on the captain |
| 5188s | says i'm going to use this to get close |
| 5190s | now they're forced to transit oh it's |
| 5191s | all going wrong the blade now great work |
| 5194s | from last row realizes he needs to |
| 5195s | double back immediately to merit keeps |
| 5197s | him alive through this overclock he gets |
| 5199s | rid of kestrel and scooters down there |
| 5201s | it's a key opening now for the outlaws |
| 5203s | to try and exploit and so they do rhino |
| 5205s | won't be getting healed here and the |
| 5207s | outlaws may they struggle from start to |
| 5209s | finish it's been a struggle but like get |
| 5211s | this first point at an extension |
| 5215s | at the final hour it feels like |
| 5217s | do you think we'll see a switch out of |
| 5218s | the gladiators no |
| 5220s | with the zarya on the other side i was |
| 5222s | wondering do we see like a large |
| 5223s | compositional shift |
| 5225s | um |
| 5226s | well that's also a really good point uh |
| 5229s | without with the time you sit right |
| 5230s | you've completed the map a minute 26. uh |
| 5233s | you're not exactly like back against the |
| 5235s | wall here right you can you can play |
| 5238s | this doom for a bit and extend this to a |
| 5240s | point where you know you get into a |
| 5242s | one-fight territory situation |
| 5244s | or just lead the clock out where you get |
| 5246s | one fight you take a bunch of ultimates |
| 5248s | chuck it on in and you're good uh you |
| 5250s | may not need to have a large reaction in |
| 5252s | this desired composition as well is is |
| 5255s | really incremental in how it takes back |
| 5257s | control right it really revolves around |
| 5259s | that bubble usage and that timing so |
| 5260s | piggy has eventually made his way to the |
| 5262s | high ground here he's really hard to |
| 5263s | shift now the fact that they get that |
| 5266s | doomfist kill means that piggy can |
| 5267s | slowly |
| 5268s | get that energy charged now i mean you |
| 5270s | can't really contest this high ground |
| 5272s | easily for the gladiators like what do |
| 5273s | you do like how do you pressure picky |
| 5274s | you've got two babbles and i'm not i |
| 5276s | think you play payload yeah you play |
| 5277s | payload yeah as you see kempster get on |
| 5280s | the payload |
| 5281s | it pushes pelican back a bit |
| 5284s | because yellows don't have the luxury to |
| 5286s | kind of duel this out right and just |
| 5287s | take high ground control and wait |
| 5289s | uh and get a position because the clock |
| 5291s | is dwindling down you're already down |
| 5293s | below a minute |
| 5296s | piggy's probably lost a fair bit of that |
| 5297s | charge as well of five you know if i had |
| 5298s | to guess |
| 5300s | so see the graviton surge they've been |
| 5302s | good are pretty crucial here there's not |
| 5304s | a lot the dukers can do out about that |
| 5305s | except beam me up scotty and move your |
| 5307s | strike away |
| 5309s | slow and steady though that may win the |
| 5311s | race here it is a race though be sure of |
| 5313s | that the outlaws now at 45 seconds left |
| 5315s | in the round no bubbles left but picky |
| 5316s | but he gets popped up just in time and |
| 5318s | he burns shoe down |
| 5321s | nicely done here the gladiators not |
| 5323s | really sure how to deal with this this |
| 5325s | is a very slow roll houston outlaws |
| 5327s | composition |
| 5328s | no and that's why i thought maybe you |
| 5330s | would see some switches but it'll be the |
| 5332s | outlaws who take that second checkpoint |
| 5334s | the zarya really paying off here |
| 5337s | for the outlaws it's just is it too late |
| 5340s | right like that's kind of what you're |
| 5341s | thinking about now like |
| 5343s | did they kind of make this change and |
| 5345s | figure this out a little bit too light |
| 5346s | because |
| 5347s | he takes loads of damage and he's gonna |
| 5349s | fall it gets hard enough for zaya |
| 5351s | because the sight lines are pretty long |
| 5353s | here and she doesn't have the ability to |
| 5354s | like go like high ground low ground or |
| 5356s | whatever it's very out in the open so |
| 5358s | we'll still see piggy go for this peak |
| 5360s | here but i'm curious to see how the |
| 5361s | outlaws get the same level of utility |
| 5363s | from desire |
| 5365s | capster |
| 5366s | checks his schedule here and it's uh |
| 5368s | pulse bomber clock apparently we'll have |
| 5369s | that ready for this next fight |
| 5371s | and this is what i was talking about |
| 5372s | where they're |
| 5373s | the gladiators are not in a position |
| 5375s | where they need to force something to |
| 5376s | make a switch because |
| 5378s | look i mean they're not even around the |
| 5379s | first corner |
| 5380s | uh |
| 5381s | i mean that's going to be a |
| 5382s | transcendence force there from pelican |
| 5384s | which is nice but they're not even |
| 5385s | around the first corner and you're at a |
| 5387s | minute to go right you've held onto |
| 5390s | three ultimates here |
| 5391s | rhino will end up getting a meteor |
| 5394s | strike as well yellows had to lose use a |
| 5396s | lot to even just get that second |
| 5398s | checkpoint or you're in the driver's |
| 5400s | seat here right you can lose a fight |
| 5402s | like the elbows have to dump ultimates |
| 5403s | in these fights to get the car going you |
| 5405s | can lose a fighter for the gladiators |
| 5406s | hold on everything and just come back |
| 5408s | and just everybody just run out and just |
| 5410s | kind of uh use your ultimate way to |
| 5412s | fight that way uh that |
| 5415s | you know just by completing the map it |
| 5416s | gives them such a huge time advantage |
| 5418s | labs can also force a transcendence here |
| 5420s | with like a nanoboosted doomfist in the |
| 5422s | back line which is something we've |
| 5423s | already seen them do this series |
| 5427s | overclock here from the high ground |
| 5428s | pelican can't get up there he can't |
| 5430s | recall for that position anymore so |
| 5432s | panapan eventually finds merit that's |
| 5434s | the thing about powder part it just |
| 5435s | seems like a matter of time and so many |
| 5436s | of these fights and it's an important |
| 5438s | kill to find pelican great job with a |
| 5440s | pulse bomb he gets a connection and |
| 5441s | kevster punishes here to trade though |
| 5443s | messy stuff the glads may be disinclined |
| 5446s | to use too much more here it's another |
| 5448s | nano now for mirrors they're going |
| 5449s | through it but they lose their |
| 5451s | transcendence now or they've used |
| 5452s | everything here so the outlaws better |
| 5454s | hope that this works out |
| 5456s | and this is talking about you're gonna |
| 5457s | have a grab here from piggy coming up uh |
| 5460s | but you don't really have that much else |
| 5462s | where you can use the nano boost on a |
| 5464s | reiner panapan now it's just over the |
| 5467s | ash so good damage with the dynamite |
| 5469s | because everybody's gonna have to play |
| 5470s | around the cart and also the ability |
| 5472s | even longer ranges to get those headshot |
| 5474s | kills |
| 5476s | yeah is it sort of constrained by merit |
| 5478s | to medium range or killing level |
| 5480s | great timing on that one to be sure |
| 5482s | piggies are you also that graviton surge |
| 5484s | is coming right up here reiner drops |
| 5486s | down he's waiting for him graviton surge |
| 5488s | deployed to get rid of the doomfist now |
| 5490s | the outlaws are sailing towards home |
| 5492s | here is we're in overtime but they're |
| 5494s | going to be happy with the completion |
| 5495s | one way or another panapan tries to |
| 5497s | coach got himself away from trouble but |
| 5499s | that'll be that |
| 5500s | and at least the outlaws get a map |
| 5502s | completion here and don't forget the |
| 5504s | glads took their sweet time getting that |
| 5506s | first capture key with that sort of |
| 5507s | winston comp that was waiting for a |
| 5509s | patapon pick so there's potential for a |
| 5512s | draw |
| 5513s | yeah |
| 5514s | completely agree here as uh the outlaws |
| 5517s | battled back using that zarya |
| 5518s | composition |
| 5520s | uh and they looked really strong |
| 5522s | especially against this doomfist set up |
| 5523s | from the gladiators what do you do on |
| 5525s | defense here though if you're the |
| 5527s | outlaws |
| 5528s | do you come out and play a sigma base to |
| 5530s | comp uh that's kind of what you got uh |
| 5533s | you know really kind of like rolled on a |
| 5534s | little bit at the start uh do you try |
| 5537s | and play zarya on defense try and make |
| 5539s | that work right uh it's interesting |
| 5543s | looks like |
| 5544s | they're gonna come out though with the |
| 5545s | sigma i i kind of agree with this |
| 5549s | there's not a ton of time for the |
| 5550s | gliders one |
| 5551s | two like i feel like play like you |
| 5554s | wouldn't play the doomfist here because |
| 5555s | you don't have dante |
| 5556s | uh playing the winston uh potentially |
| 5559s | like leaves you open to the duke is |
| 5561s | coming in and really causing problems |
| 5562s | and i think zarya |
| 5565s | that's the bubble i was talking about |
| 5567s | uh just the reaction time there from |
| 5569s | piggy was insane and then also with the |
| 5572s | bubble you get a biotic grenade right on |
| 5574s | top of last year and you're able to top |
| 5576s | him up really fast is i know you get |
| 5578s | that kill on the last show because |
| 5579s | you're all in at that scenario right |
| 5580s | with a nano boost on two brian oh yeah |
| 5583s | you get that kill it's |
| 5585s | what it it's it's all good if you're the |
| 5587s | glass |
| 5588s | so |
| 5589s | last time we saw the glass win on point |
| 5591s | a it wasn't because of clever rotation |
| 5593s | so much as the man on your screen so |
| 5595s | powder pump was the one that gave them |
| 5596s | the opening here i want to see what the |
| 5598s | gladiators sort of do with their winston |
| 5600s | set up and how they sort of proper |
| 5601s | weaknesses you know in the event that |
| 5603s | you kind of like guarantee an insta kill |
| 5606s | here kev's depression though piggy |
| 5607s | managed to find him as he pushes up not |
| 5609s | a good start for los angeles |
| 5612s | pelicans gonna be so careful though |
| 5614s | because |
| 5615s | you got these |
| 5617s | railgun shots charging up from hot upon |
| 5621s | all it takes is one right |
| 5623s | uh you kind of get caught coming through |
| 5625s | an alley and then you're in a lot of |
| 5626s | trouble so |
| 5630s | decent start though for the outlaws that |
| 5632s | first pick buys them some time |
| 5634s | 35 seconds left now that's the dive so |
| 5637s | we're over to the fire station here |
| 5639s | i'm here in nano here too piggy's in |
| 5641s | trouble |
| 5642s | i don't know how easy it's gonna be to |
| 5643s | keep them topped up here but merrick |
| 5644s | already catches this so the pressure the |
| 5646s | pressure release for the background of |
| 5648s | the outlaws is palpable now they can |
| 5650s | keep picking topped up pretty happily |
| 5652s | right across the map as he may be |
| 5654s | none of you son of a rider might be the |
| 5655s | play you need to get this backline of |
| 5657s | the outlaw's done |
| 5659s | it's got to be the play |
| 5661s | it's the only real target you have right |
| 5662s | now is hot button misses a shot there on |
| 5664s | the pelican |
| 5665s | gotta be here here we go slept |
| 5666s | immediately though is gonna be ryder |
| 5668s | he's on the point of the very least so |
| 5669s | we can guarantee some form of overtime |
| 5671s | but the bubble's gone can he keep rhino |
| 5673s | going heretic flux that's gonna catch |
| 5675s | skewed by the looks of things here but |
| 5677s | ryan goes down to a pulse bomb |
| 5679s | sorry kinetic grass from piggy rather as |
| 5681s | he eats up that damage and stays alive |
| 5682s | just long enough as kempster really |
| 5684s | trying to out fox him here but real |
| 5686s | credit to the outlaws they play this |
| 5688s | the right way and this time they're not |
| 5690s | dealing with early picture and |
| 5691s | powerpoint it's a draw on midtown |
| 5695s | it's a draw that almost feels like a win |
| 5697s | for the outlaws in a really bizarre way |
| 5699s | because the gladiators look like they |
| 5701s | had full control over this on their |
| 5702s | offensive side |
| 5704s | and then the outlaws once they switched |
| 5707s | and zarya comp really started to get |
| 5709s | things going they battled back they |
| 5711s | finished the map not with any time left |
| 5713s | but still then hold on that first point |
| 5715s | defense uh it's a draw but it feels |
| 5718s | pretty good for the outlaws yep desire |
| 5720s | switch from piggy see more like a last |
| 5722s | resort than anything else but it ends up |
| 5724s | being just what the outlaws needed to |
| 5726s | keep the gladiators at bay they're still |
| 5727s | behind by a map here but after the draw |
| 5730s | we'll see what map number three has in |
| 5731s | store this one |
| 5732s | i feel like we might have a match here |
| 5751s | [Music] |
| 5759s | [Music] |
| 5775s | [Music] |
| 5788s | [Applause] |
| 5789s | [Music] |
| 5791s | [Applause] |
| 5794s | [Music] |
| 5824s | [Applause] |
| 5825s | [Music] |
| 5873s | so |
| 5880s | [Music] |
| 5962s | [Music] |
| 5973s | [Music] |
| 5979s | my |
| 5980s | [Music] |
| 5982s | so i got no regrets |
| 5985s | [Music] |
| 5995s | [Applause] |
| 6000s | once a relatively common occurrence |
| 6003s | we basically haven't seen any draws at |
| 6005s | all this year until that one that was |
| 6006s | the very first time |
| 6008s | we've actually seen a map end this |
| 6010s | season without a result at least at |
| 6012s | least in the western region i'm pretty |
| 6013s | sure it's that's wild yeah the whole the |
| 6015s | whole darn league so uh credit to the |
| 6017s | outlaws for bringing about this |
| 6019s | occurrence for the first time this |
| 6020s | season and it took a lot of grit and a |
| 6022s | bit of a zaga pick switch up to do so |
| 6026s | yeah once the zarya came into the mix it |
| 6028s | was a completely different map uh |
| 6031s | everything was cruising for the |
| 6033s | gladiators we even got a dab at a rhino |
| 6035s | we did uh |
| 6037s | and and then it then if you were since |
| 6039s | it once was that dab moment everything |
| 6040s | went south |
| 6042s | it's uh |
| 6044s | so |
| 6045s | it's still the uh outlaws pick here uh |
| 6048s | for the next map uh being as they're the |
| 6050s | last team to have a lost a map ons will |
| 6052s | come in for pad upon uh so this will end |
| 6054s | up being dorado so uh you bring in odds |
| 6057s | play that widow maker uh piggy will stay |
| 6060s | in uh for the outlaws so |
| 6063s | uh it'll be interesting that like maybe |
| 6065s | uh at the outlaws they kind of see |
| 6067s | something that they can make work as the |
| 6069s | rest of the uh game goes on |
| 6072s | we've actually seen a a ton of different |
| 6074s | strategies on dorado uh so far this |
| 6077s | season and lately we're starting to see |
| 6078s | more and more wrecking ball that has |
| 6080s | precipitated |
| 6082s | some very strange uh uh sort of roadhog |
| 6085s | based compositions by some teams uh to |
| 6087s | specifically sort of shut them down so |
| 6089s | collusion do it from the san francisco |
| 6091s | shop so they're on the table uh i know |
| 6093s | what piggy's wrecking ball is looking |
| 6094s | like these days obviously picks like |
| 6096s | this sigma are still very possible if |
| 6097s | you're a defending team |
| 6099s | but it's hard to go past the gold |
| 6101s | standard for defenses on dorado right |
| 6103s | that the high ground that winston play |
| 6105s | on first i mean especially if you're |
| 6107s | bringing like a world-class widowmaker |
| 6108s | into your roster via substitution i feel |
| 6111s | like the gladiators probably want to go |
| 6112s | for something like that something tried |
| 6114s | tested and true |
| 6118s | yeah so uh see you know the gladiators |
| 6121s | are gonna run that widowmaker here |
| 6123s | uh going into dorado uh do we see merit |
| 6126s | answer bank with a widow of his own |
| 6128s | uh piggy do we see him play like a |
| 6131s | winston do they try and play a zarya |
| 6133s | based composition dorado seems like it |
| 6136s | would be really weird to try and do that |
| 6138s | uh sigma still potentially in the mix |
| 6140s | uh you can kind of play that high ground |
| 6142s | you think like first point even second |
| 6144s | point as well maybe uh deter the |
| 6146s | widowmaker a bit on the other side |
| 6150s | yeah i'm curious to see if they really |
| 6151s | try and match match match widows uh |
| 6153s | we've obviously got some moments from |
| 6155s | that previous map for |
| 6157s | your enjoyment as shu |
| 6159s | decides to uh reassume the position here |
| 6162s | uh |
| 6164s | obviously this is a nice little |
| 6165s | turnaround for ryan here again the fight |
| 6167s | really gets opened up piggy blows |
| 6168s | himself up with those hyper spheres and |
| 6171s | yeah i mean listen uh |
| 6173s | trash talk in and out of game we got |
| 6175s | this in wyatt as well thank you so much |
| 6177s | for that |
| 6180s | so glad we got to get this thing once |
| 6182s | more |
| 6184s | yeah it's uh |
| 6186s | it would have been cool if they finished |
| 6187s | the map |
| 6189s | but they didn't |
| 6190s | i mean you know you know there wasn't a |
| 6192s | ton of highlights up from from in-game |
| 6194s | when i got i literally have a producer |
| 6195s | and you're like hey guys we've got this |
| 6197s | footage of a dab so let's just run that |
| 6199s | all right okay obviously yeah not much |
| 6202s | faster we got not much to celebrate from |
| 6204s | the gladiators after that because uh |
| 6206s | yeah they struggled to sort of answer |
| 6208s | this this piggies zarya which is |
| 6211s | well like i don't recommend you |
| 6212s | necessarily try it at home although i |
| 6214s | suppose if you you know think hard |
| 6215s | enough there's some inherent advantages |
| 6217s | to playing that style it's just a little |
| 6218s | awkward |
| 6219s | dorado though |
| 6221s | probably not the kind of map you want to |
| 6222s | run that back on |
| 6225s | no uh that's why i'm curious of |
| 6230s | what we end up seeing it looks like at |
| 6231s | least uh as we load into game it'll be |
| 6234s | the outlaws on defense first so |
| 6237s | uh we'll get an idea early of what the |
| 6239s | atlas want to run i think if you're the |
| 6240s | gladiators probably like a winston or |
| 6243s | reinhardt based set up here uh is the |
| 6245s | way to go and protect your widowmaker at |
| 6248s | all costs right |
| 6249s | i think that's kind of uh you know |
| 6251s | really you bring ons into the game to |
| 6253s | take over i think that's kind of what |
| 6255s | uh what you're going to try and have to |
| 6256s | set them up to do yeah we know that |
| 6258s | merit strengths is the sojourn player i |
| 6260s | kind of think that's |
| 6261s | well he's developing a name for himself |
| 6263s | on that peak and obviously he's had some |
| 6264s | of the most disgusting moments on that |
| 6267s | hero and it's and we feel like surgeon's |
| 6269s | kind of fine everywhere right we've even |
| 6272s | seen it played on circuit royale like |
| 6273s | alongside a widowmaker here so i don't |
| 6276s | think anybody's gonna complain about |
| 6277s | seeing this pick here for merit |
| 6279s | obviously doesn't offer you the same as |
| 6280s | widowmaker but perhaps that's you know |
| 6282s | by design on the gladiator side right i |
| 6284s | get ash is an option now if you don't |
| 6286s | have inherent high ground though just |
| 6288s | doesn't seem like maybe you want to go |
| 6289s | there but i'm curious to see how it |
| 6291s | plays around that |
| 6292s | constraint |
| 6296s | so it looks like the gladiator is at |
| 6298s | least here on offense to start things |
| 6300s | off not |
| 6302s | okay so it'll be it's going to be what |
| 6303s | they're going to run with is going to be |
| 6305s | kept sir |
| 6306s | playing the widow and then on something |
| 6308s | ash interesting i mean this gives you |
| 6310s | the opportunity i was going to say for |
| 6311s | kevster to play like a genji or a tracer |
| 6314s | so you see that it's going to be right |
| 6316s | here just standing in that uh disruptor |
| 6318s | shot so i wants to soak up some damage |
| 6320s | that shoe can heal |
| 6321s | uh for the outlaws it'll be the sigma |
| 6323s | base set up so |
| 6324s | sigma on defense here uh with an echo |
| 6327s | wow they give up that high ground so |
| 6329s | quickly normally the car pushes up a |
| 6331s | little bit more but i guess they really |
| 6332s | just want to be in position and ready |
| 6334s | for this |
| 6335s | how do you feel about the ash here man |
| 6338s | i gotcha okay yeah the ash i i kind of |
| 6341s | like the ash in this setup uh being able |
| 6344s | to obviously put some big damage down on |
| 6346s | a pelican rather fast right not as |
| 6348s | susceptible to like an echo dive as like |
| 6351s | a widowmaker would be is oh you see |
| 6353s | right there almost a kill straight onto |
| 6355s | pelican with a nice shot |
| 6357s | a timing from arts as well just as the |
| 6359s | dynamite peeks over piggy's shield he |
| 6361s | detonates it so he'll get some value |
| 6363s | there dynamite's so good for that heel |
| 6365s | pressure right especially when you've |
| 6366s | got like an arno who needs to spend time |
| 6368s | actively clicking someone to |
| 6370s | counteract that |
| 6371s | kind of sleeper harmony or bottom like |
| 6373s | you can't withstand and this is |
| 6374s | beautiful and this is sequential from |
| 6376s | the gladiators right on looks like he's |
| 6378s | unbothered flourishing moisturized in |
| 6380s | his lane he doesn't seem to worry too |
| 6382s | much about pressure from flankers so he |
| 6383s | just starts to work down the outlaws and |
| 6386s | i think this is what you worry a little |
| 6388s | bit when you kind of commit to a map now |
| 6390s | that you're going to have to play the |
| 6391s | sigma on is like the sigma wasn't really |
| 6393s | what was working there uh on midtown uh |
| 6396s | the sigma is what the gladiators were |
| 6397s | actually able to take advantage of and |
| 6399s | set a pretty good time on offense uh it |
| 6401s | was really the zarya set up uh on |
| 6404s | offense that was the main difference |
| 6405s | maker |
| 6406s | elegant gets really low i was gonna say |
| 6408s | i wonder if there's gonna be a shot that |
| 6409s | comes in from the side to finish him off |
| 6411s | it's a dynamite as piggy gets forced |
| 6413s | into that you know mega health pack room |
| 6415s | i was gonna say there goes rhino right |
| 6416s | after him yeah wait absolutely no oh my |
| 6420s | the burst damage was ridiculous ryder's |
| 6422s | not gonna find piggy there but i don't |
| 6424s | think they're expecting a nano boosted |
| 6426s | winston and ryan gives us a blue steel |
| 6428s | for a moment there is he uh leaves bob |
| 6430s | in his wake to make sure that security |
| 6432s | detail is kept unlocked |
| 6434s | there's a nano lasher to keep him alive |
| 6437s | uh try and battle on through that i |
| 6440s | guess it uh eliminates you from having |
| 6442s | to use the nano onto them at that moment |
| 6444s | uh i know they'd be uh transcendence |
| 6446s | sure at that moment but |
| 6448s | uh still cart continuing to move |
| 6451s | uh you see who's that's cute on the |
| 6453s | outside yeah off angle there |
| 6469s | that railgun is the kind you really |
| 6470s | don't see coming |
| 6472s | now the animals who actually for the |
| 6473s | first time this round get to establish |
| 6475s | themselves after |
| 6476s | spawn time i guess |
| 6479s | that killed largely inconsequential |
| 6483s | yeah so the payload gets right |
| 6484s | underneath the bridge uh |
| 6486s | not any further though you don't have to |
| 6488s | burn the transcendence there |
| 6489s | uh if you're the gladiators now odds |
| 6491s | will go over to the widowmaker here so |
| 6494s | maybe you feel like just that one shot |
| 6495s | kill potential here |
| 6497s | a little bit too needed as you're trying |
| 6499s | to battle through some of this high |
| 6500s | ground |
| 6504s | all right |
| 6505s | sticks on the car wants to apply some |
| 6507s | pressure force the outlaws off of this |
| 6509s | high ground it's kind of risky business |
| 6510s | though especially with a sigma who can |
| 6512s | hit you with the accretion but answers |
| 6514s | playing such a wide angle here so many |
| 6516s | things are played from the gladiators to |
| 6518s | save the outlaws get off there get off |
| 6520s | that perch come to the low ground |
| 6523s | i still haven't had to do that though |
| 6524s | reiner gets taken down |
| 6528s | looks like pelican over the top gonna go |
| 6530s | try and get a health pack as |
| 6531s | things have stalled out a little bit now |
| 6533s | for the gladiators as reiner now goes |
| 6535s | over to wrecking ball so |
| 6537s | get to see how they approach this with |
| 6539s | the ball coming over from the high |
| 6540s | ground |
| 6541s | both back floors and scooter flanking |
| 6543s | through the power plant right now with |
| 6545s | the trace i'm not sure what that's about |
| 6546s | right on the ball by the way |
| 6549s | where pelican is looking for ants here |
| 6552s | should be a should be a slam dunk for |
| 6554s | that echo if he gets the drop on the |
| 6556s | widow |
| 6558s | transcendence here yeah arms doesn't go |
| 6559s | down it's expected merited with the body |
| 6560s | grenade he's not getting away right |
| 6562s | about to chase him now picky |
| 6563s | in danger what is his position again |
| 6565s | he's so weak that was her use of the |
| 6567s | nano two onto marion |
| 6570s | yeah frustrating there to lose him but |
| 6571s | player grenade not much you can do about |
| 6573s | it ryder causing all sorts of issues |
| 6575s | right now |
| 6576s | i mean we have supports on the wrong |
| 6578s | side of the map ostensibly is the |
| 6579s | gladiator skewed well behind enemy |
| 6581s | alliance |
| 6583s | and you see how aggressive reiner is |
| 6585s | playing right now just popping |
| 6588s | to the tempo here and that's how the |
| 6589s | gliders found success and map number one |
| 6592s | is |
| 6592s | he's gonna have a minefield here |
| 6595s | ready to go is the minefield actually |
| 6596s | probably pretty decent because you know |
| 6598s | with the sigma you're gonna play around |
| 6599s | the sigma in his shields you may |
| 6601s | actually catch a few players inside of |
| 6603s | that i love ryder just said no |
| 6604s | transcendence to kind of like get rid of |
| 6607s | the minds when you have the piggies yeah |
| 6610s | but i mean you lose that shield straight |
| 6611s | away which means that answer has like |
| 6612s | prime sight lines so it's a little risky |
| 6614s | to do that |
| 6616s | rhino just basically says you have no |
| 6617s | excuses a tank player not to play |
| 6619s | everything love it that's perfect that's |
| 6620s | exactly what you're doing it's widow |
| 6621s | here aunts is asking for it |
| 6623s | really hard to make we don't work in |
| 6625s | this part of the map to be fair so |
| 6627s | maybe a switch to ash now before pelican |
| 6629s | goes for the duke slept in mid-air |
| 6631s | though sleep of his own |
| 6633s | crazy sleep |
| 6635s | ryan we don't see it from shoes |
| 6637s | perspective |
| 6642s | yeah |
| 6643s | hard to follow for sure |
| 6646s | i like to switch by once uh you can see |
| 6648s | how effective uh no that echo is against |
| 6651s | the widowmaker |
| 6652s | uh from that pov is |
| 6655s | dynamite goes down nice shot there |
| 6658s | yeah again tough to make anything happen |
| 6660s | after the gravity flux so the action is |
| 6661s | in like a stagger position right now |
| 6664s | ryan maybe tries to get arms out but now |
| 6666s | no escape there |
| 6668s | gladiators have to reset hey look |
| 6669s | gravity flux pulse bomb right you deal |
| 6671s | with some big ultimates in that last |
| 6672s | fight you show at least proof of concept |
| 6674s | that the the ashes probably looks pretty |
| 6677s | good here and pelican realizes that too |
| 6678s | he switched |
| 6681s | yeah so we'll see |
| 6683s | now with the nano up on the high ground |
| 6686s | here potentially for the outlaws trying |
| 6687s | to think of like how the outlaws can get |
| 6689s | this to a |
| 6691s | uh a spot right with a minute and 30 |
| 6693s | left where they do not give up a map |
| 6695s | completion |
| 6696s | all right because the gladiators are |
| 6697s | starting to bank some ultimates here |
| 6698s | four ultimates online for the gladiators |
| 6700s | really they need about what two fights |
| 6702s | potentially take it that's gonna be the |
| 6704s | minefield and they're gonna use the nano |
| 6705s | gear on it kept their beautiful sleep |
| 6707s | though yeah catch this still has to |
| 6708s | cross a wide expanse to get to his |
| 6710s | intended target the nano last row may be |
| 6712s | unnecessary but it keeps him alive and |
| 6714s | reiner |
| 6716s | tried to save the tracer tried the body |
| 6718s | block but the orbs came in above from |
| 6720s | the wrecking ball so nicely done |
| 6723s | and you talked about a bank of ultimates |
| 6724s | for the gladiators that has been mostly |
| 6726s | spent |
| 6730s | yeah i mean you spend all of those and |
| 6732s | a beautiful sleep from iris |
| 6735s | so nothing you can do now |
| 6739s | what do you have this pull spa i mean |
| 6741s | you're really looking at what you got to |
| 6743s | get the honor in this type of situation |
| 6746s | be merit i don't think the pulses of |
| 6749s | yeah i mean it's been tough for catcher |
| 6750s | i think to get value out of those so far |
| 6752s | but getting piggy yeah that's the |
| 6754s | jackpot here for sure |
| 6756s | he's off to the side of knowing there's |
| 6757s | no support help at all |
| 6760s | yeah now whatsoever again tough to do |
| 6762s | much about the pulse here |
| 6764s | takes so much damage initially |
| 6765s | transcendence is |
| 6766s | ornamental |
| 6768s | from last throw there buys a bit of time |
| 6770s | crucially 10 seconds left in the round |
| 6771s | now you can see aunt's moving up he |
| 6772s | knows he has a bob if he can send this |
| 6774s | into spawn |
| 6775s | it's gonna be very very hard to deal |
| 6776s | with oh he's gonna let it go now he |
| 6778s | doesn't have any time he gets brought |
| 6779s | down by iris good awareness from the |
| 6781s | armor there and uh it's rhino not able |
| 6783s | to touch |
| 6785s | unfortunately for the gladiators they |
| 6786s | cannot complete |
| 6788s | yeah but it's a good hole though from |
| 6789s | the outlaws i think from the outlaws pov |
| 6792s | uh especially losing piggy there uh at |
| 6795s | the start really just kind of like |
| 6797s | playing on the outskirts there against |
| 6798s | kemp starting to tell the pulse bomb and |
| 6800s | just |
| 6801s | i know taken down |
| 6803s | that's a really good hold right uh no |
| 6805s | being able to deny them from completing |
| 6807s | the map uh now it's just what do you put |
| 6809s | together on your offense right uh do you |
| 6811s | feel confident enough in this like sigma |
| 6813s | based setup on offense uh does piggy |
| 6816s | play like a winston here |
| 6819s | you can i don't think you could like |
| 6821s | could you try and even play like zarya |
| 6824s | like but i remind you that the outlaws |
| 6826s | look weak on offense on midtown as well |
| 6829s | they got like their last possible |
| 6830s | opportunity and they still end up |
| 6831s | finishing their map which is quite |
| 6832s | astonishing so the fact that they come |
| 6835s | back from such a weak offense there is |
| 6836s | good but you can't count on it |
| 6840s | yes uh i do think they looked good on |
| 6842s | offense yellows once you switch then |
| 6843s | zarya base count but |
| 6845s | you're not gonna be able to do that here |
| 6846s | right uh at least you would think maybe |
| 6849s | towards the end of the map possible uh |
| 6851s | but i think here at least at the you |
| 6853s | know from this like first part of the |
| 6855s | map knows that first checkpoint and then |
| 6857s | towards that second face high ground |
| 6858s | just two |
| 6859s | essentially |
| 6866s | yeah because of the height he gets he |
| 6868s | actually can get i mean reiner also i |
| 6870s | mean there's a bit of inertia with |
| 6871s | wrecking ball right so he tries to body |
| 6873s | block what he knows or orbs coming his |
| 6874s | way but the viewing angle for lastro's |
| 6876s | elevator because he got pile drove up |
| 6879s | answers uh you know on the widowmaker |
| 6881s | relatively really quiet yes i think the |
| 6884s | ash who's able to hit a few shots but |
| 6886s | let's see with the widow on defense like |
| 6888s | can they keep him alive does he have to |
| 6890s | switch |
| 6892s | yet again because you bring in odds |
| 6894s | because he's so good at widowmaker and |
| 6895s | like these you know long-range hit scans |
| 6897s | but if it's negated by got winston and |
| 6900s | you know echo type dive |
| 6902s | what do you do right |
| 6903s | there's more experience for rekko to |
| 6905s | cross here on the attacking side so that |
| 6908s | might work in answers favor it |
| 6910s | definitely feels like the outlaws have a |
| 6911s | pretty comfortable answer to the |
| 6913s | widowmaker pick in general and exhibit |
| 6914s | gladiators again and say okay well |
| 6916s | we haven't got widow valley now we need |
| 6918s | to give more space so that arsenal has |
| 6919s | another expanse to fire across you know |
| 6922s | they really have to try and play around |
| 6924s | this widow set up |
| 6929s | like they're not committing at all hank |
| 6930s | yeah no i mean |
| 6933s | where do you commit to |
| 6934s | like |
| 6936s | uh i think that the gap is too large to |
| 6938s | go towards that back line right you know |
| 6940s | you're gonna |
| 6940s | a few players probably gonna hit a few |
| 6942s | shots you know eat a few shots from the |
| 6944s | widowmaker you see pelican gets really |
| 6946s | low and finished off |
| 6947s | uh |
| 6948s | it's a very difficult situation here oh |
| 6951s | play from uh kev sorry like oh great |
| 6954s | fire knight |
| 6955s | yeah that's shoe coming to the rescue |
| 6956s | there in a big way can't deflect to |
| 6958s | disrupt the shot when he stood in there |
| 6961s | i could awareness by chemistry as well |
| 6962s | he needs to move into line of sight off |
| 6964s | his armor player so he has to move |
| 6966s | through the disrupter shot in order to |
| 6967s | do so towards a winston by the way |
| 6971s | the surgeon just gets out range so hard |
| 6973s | by the widowmaker like merrick can't |
| 6976s | challenge that in a distance and what |
| 6977s | like look at this i mean kepster just |
| 6979s | jumps up deflects gets right in his face |
| 6981s | and just destroys any sight lines that |
| 6983s | he has |
| 6985s | all right once again |
| 6989s | i see they're trying to get collapse on |
| 6991s | him from every witch angle yeah it |
| 6994s | worked out beautifully nicely done |
| 6996s | a lot of maneuvering around a widow |
| 6998s | composition piggy turns his back here |
| 7001s | equal parts disrespect and trying to |
| 7003s | obscure that headshot hitbox and yeah |
| 7004s | he's looking across the stage he knows |
| 7006s | what he's done nice job by the outlaws |
| 7008s | here anz is being |
| 7009s | handily dealt with |
| 7011s | yes |
| 7012s | they did a nice job when they were on |
| 7014s | offense with the widowmaker now they're |
| 7015s | doing a pretty good job |
| 7017s | uh know when they're on defense no |
| 7019s | dealing with that widowmaker is uh the |
| 7021s | outlaws |
| 7022s | see what they try and do can you get |
| 7024s | like the high ground control here early |
| 7026s | there's a nano blade possibility for the |
| 7028s | gladiators coming in kev's are going to |
| 7031s | probably try and set that one up |
| 7032s | probably a little bit sooner rather than |
| 7034s | later right but i don't want to allow |
| 7036s | them to get set up on the high ground |
| 7037s | now you're going to be in for sight you |
| 7038s | can definitely use it in a big way or |
| 7040s | try and get a pick here oh it's going to |
| 7042s | be reiner getting a pick there on euris |
| 7044s | okay not so bad though it's a trade |
| 7047s | and we've got a primary from piggy but |
| 7048s | he just needs to not die here if he |
| 7050s | walks away safe that's fine that was a |
| 7052s | transcendence here from the outlaws too |
| 7054s | though |
| 7055s | here we go time for the blade |
| 7061s | yeah that's tough a tough job right he's |
| 7063s | done so well on the winston in these |
| 7065s | last couple of fights |
| 7067s | yeah |
| 7068s | and now reiner's gonna match this gonna |
| 7070s | go winston v winston here is |
| 7073s | caps are going to give up on the genji |
| 7074s | dream going to go over to tracer so |
| 7077s | reiner's going to be careful he's going |
| 7078s | to try and get out but not able to do so |
| 7080s | is he'll have primal for this next fight |
| 7083s | but |
| 7083s | the outlaws are rolling here on offense |
| 7087s | i mean that's |
| 7089s | the rest of these things |
| 7092s | you're not really getting much out of |
| 7093s | the widowmaker i think you may have to |
| 7094s | go back to that ash again |
| 7097s | piggy uh shuts arms down yet again who |
| 7100s | is it popping off ryan comes back too |
| 7102s | late he's completely out of sync with |
| 7104s | the rest of his team because of that |
| 7105s | oxfam level feed we saw in that last |
| 7107s | fight so |
| 7108s | the gladiators haven't been in sync for |
| 7110s | pretty much this entire face of the map |
| 7112s | here and here's where the outlaws |
| 7117s | yeah this is not good for the gladiators |
| 7119s | that's gonna be the transcendence |
| 7120s | they're gonna try and use the |
| 7121s | transcendence to get players out since |
| 7123s | reiner coming over the top they're gonna |
| 7124s | get a kill out of this |
| 7127s | merit |
| 7128s | i would have punished at least so the |
| 7130s | gladiators while they're fighting their |
| 7131s | way out they're giving up that crucial |
| 7133s | checkpoint here they never got to fly on |
| 7135s | second and the outlaws are feeling some |
| 7136s | wind in their sails |
| 7138s | gonna be nano available for iris here in |
| 7140s | this next fight |
| 7141s | picking at the funny number here of |
| 7142s | course not far away from another primal |
| 7144s | himself |
| 7145s | i like outlaws in the winston mirror all |
| 7147s | of a sudden |
| 7150s | yeah now now you finally get a hold here |
| 7153s | is |
| 7154s | you'll have merit go and match your in |
| 7156s | the ash battle so i'm really interested |
| 7159s | to see like how how does ons gonna |
| 7162s | stand up in this type of battle right |
| 7164s | because typically when people play |
| 7166s | widowmaker against him like |
| 7168s | no it's not really that many battles |
| 7170s | right uh an ash here especially this |
| 7172s | part of the map you may see a little bit |
| 7173s | more action |
| 7175s | okay rhino oh okay ops not to go after |
| 7178s | lastro initially there that's where he'd |
| 7180s | have a chance to transcendence even if |
| 7182s | he'd wanted to and i suspect he probably |
| 7184s | wouldn't have there |
| 7185s | they're also gonna be slowed up a little |
| 7187s | bit but bear in mind they just have to |
| 7189s | finish the map that's it |
| 7195s | can they finish that the kind of stand |
| 7198s | right on top of their spot |
| 7200s | i mean this buys you what this it takes |
| 7202s | like 20 seconds for the outlaws to get |
| 7204s | from here to the car |
| 7206s | yeah this adds up in a big way |
| 7208s | oh especially you're going to be able to |
| 7210s | follow it up on some kills oh yeah yeah |
| 7212s | you showed that door frame kim |
| 7215s | well i i think he thought that he was |
| 7216s | actually going to go through there and |
| 7217s | maybe get one on the edge but |
| 7221s | man yeah look in this type of situation |
| 7223s | you're not going to see a c9 that far |
| 7225s | yeah |
| 7227s | well ah flutter i mean |
| 7230s | kind of showed us uh what you can do to |
| 7232s | our opponents who aren't aware |
| 7234s | this kind has made some decent progress |
| 7236s | though matt through a tough part of the |
| 7237s | map |
| 7238s | and now the yellows are breathing down |
| 7240s | the gladiators next they are so close |
| 7241s | with a fight win there they're in last |
| 7243s | fight territory now with two support |
| 7245s | ultimates to work with |
| 7247s | this is dangerous for the gladiators |
| 7249s | you're gonna have the same for the |
| 7250s | gladiator zone that's gonna be reiner |
| 7252s | getting the benefits of the nano going |
| 7253s | right over the top and look at that |
| 7255s | he split off the supports |
| 7257s | beautiful job there from rainer yeah |
| 7259s | that's gonna buy a lot of time |
| 7261s | yeah piggy frustrated they couldn't |
| 7262s | really do anything as uh piggy wasn't |
| 7265s | unable to help out whoever was stuck |
| 7266s | down the stairs unclear at this point |
| 7268s | but |
| 7268s | that was a nano boost on the rhino that |
| 7270s | had to be spent but the gladiator |
| 7271s | doesn't happen to part with ultimates |
| 7273s | this is the transaction right one |
| 7274s | ultimate equals 40 seconds yes you take |
| 7276s | that on defense absolutely |
| 7282s | now you're in trouble i think you know |
| 7284s | if houston uses some of these ultimates |
| 7286s | here mitch and it it doesn't end up |
| 7288s | going in their favor the cart's moving |
| 7290s | backwards right so you think even where |
| 7291s | the card is right now you're in the |
| 7293s | fight you're probably looking at two is |
| 7309s | okay that nano who's got nothing |
| 7311s | unfortunately for the outlaws and their |
| 7312s | fans and this could be nasty |
| 7315s | get the descendants gonna be a |
| 7317s | transcendence in play here postman |
| 7319s | thrown down cliffs are again a little |
| 7320s | weird with those today |
| 7322s | bob's gonna be a bit of a nuisance right |
| 7324s | now and you can see that yeah skew |
| 7325s | trying to make sure everyone he's topped |
| 7327s | up in this fight disastrous for the |
| 7329s | outlaws as the four alarm fire begins to |
| 7331s | clarkson there's 20 seconds left in the |
| 7333s | round and pelican has a play to make but |
| 7336s | he's already been sniffed out but yeah |
| 7338s | they know exactly where he's at so he's |
| 7341s | gonna get a stick i mean that that could |
| 7343s | be huge let's see you know coming back |
| 7345s | you have everybody marching on back here |
| 7347s | for the outlaws it'll be last year over |
| 7348s | to the break here then i'll get a primal |
| 7350s | these |
| 7351s | i that's naughty that's naughty |
| 7354s | yeah that'll be that the houston outlaws |
| 7356s | tantalizingly close to evening the |
| 7359s | series everything can't be a c9 no yeah |
| 7362s | well i mean like you're saying c9 now |
| 7365s | depends who you ask that's just not |
| 7367s | possible |
| 7369s | uh i think the outlaws have an |
| 7370s | interesting choice here going into push |
| 7373s | uh do you go with something like |
| 7375s | coliseum where you can run like the |
| 7377s | doomfist type setups yeah we've even |
| 7379s | seen like teams run some like reinhardt |
| 7380s | there potentially uh right or do you |
| 7383s | play something like toronto where we've |
| 7384s | actually seen teams in the past use at |
| 7386s | zarya based composition uh and stick |
| 7389s | with what you got uh at least early |
| 7391s | signs here the lobby looked like |
| 7393s | potentially dante coming back in uh so |
| 7395s | we'll see what they decide to go with |
| 7396s | with that yeah that's a curious one man |
| 7398s | we'll wait and see what the map |
| 7400s | selection is gonna be here from the |
| 7402s | outlaws their last chance to to pick a |
| 7404s | map so it better be a good |
| 7407s | get in one |

| 7818s | welcome back ladies and gentlemen to |
| 7819s | this first match of the day for the |
| 7821s | outlaws and the gladiators a chance to |
| 7823s | advance in amid season madness winners |
| 7825s | bracket to take on the winner of the |
| 7827s | seoul dynasty and the hangzhou spark |
| 7830s | again second chance for the loser to |
| 7831s | drop down and may well be the outlaws at |
| 7833s | this stage because |
| 7835s | well i gotta be honest with you i don't |
| 7837s | know how much they got up their sleeve |
| 7838s | that is left the piggy winston looked |
| 7841s | really good actually uh especially on |
| 7843s | attack yeah they were they were |
| 7844s | punishing the gladiators early and then |
| 7846s | they came to a screeching hole in that |
| 7848s | last phase of the map as the as the |
| 7850s | gladiators rather came alive |
| 7853s | and you see on your screen we'll have uh |
| 7856s | no really one large sum it'll be dante |
| 7858s | coming in for piggy which |
| 7860s | uh |
| 7861s | fully expect now to this to be a |
| 7863s | doomfist composition as we go into |
| 7865s | toronto uh and uh comes in for aunts |
| 7870s | uh look when you when you see it come in |
| 7872s | for the outlaws we know what's going to |
| 7873s | happen |
| 7875s | fully expected patty to come back in for |
| 7876s | on says we really just see aunt's play |
| 7879s | like |
| 7880s | i mean really what just like dorado |
| 7881s | right they just like like that map for a |
| 7884s | long time |
| 7886s | maybe i i know that i watched on scrim a |
| 7889s | lot of illios |
| 7890s | with |
| 7891s | early in the season circuit circle |
| 7893s | royale possibly |
| 7895s | uh we've seen him like a handful of |
| 7898s | times throughout the year but |
| 7900s | look it can't be honest |
| 7902s | yeah and when he comes in though but i i |
| 7904s | don't know i've been a little |
| 7905s | underwhelmed but i don't blame him |
| 7907s | you're getting something for a map where |
| 7908s | you just have to pop off as we |
| 7911s | do we also just have insanely high |
| 7914s | expectations right i mean this is |
| 7915s | somebody who like |
| 7917s | wait but they're grounded in these past |
| 7918s | performances not anything else yeah |
| 7921s | which like right but those are in the |
| 7923s | past right they've been in the past for |
| 7925s | a bit now uh |
| 7927s | you still have to regard him as one of |
| 7929s | the best widowmakers that we've |
| 7931s | seen have right but i think do you |
| 7934s | expect these like |
| 7936s | magical performances from him you know |
| 7938s | just coming in for a dorado every once |
| 7940s | in a while |
| 7941s | uh |
| 7941s | i think it's just unreal like |
| 7943s | expectations like it's not like like |
| 7945s | sure maybe one out of every 10 uh but |
| 7948s | you know how many maps will you play all |
| 7950s | season right you're kind of like |
| 7952s | thinking unless you see like a |
| 7953s | widowmaker meta just pop up out of |
| 7955s | nowhere right where everybody's playing |
| 7956s | widow uh |
| 7959s | i think those pop-off moments are gonna |
| 7961s | be just |
| 7963s | rare uh |
| 7964s | especially when the other team is really |
| 7966s | not gonna like how many other teams like |
| 7968s | when they see ants coming to play widow |
| 7969s | we're gonna like challenge it right and |
| 7971s | be like yeah yeah let's let's try and |
| 7972s | play a widow of our own right like go |
| 7974s | head-to-head like most teams are just |
| 7976s | gonna kind of like straight against it |
| 7978s | yeah playing against the yeah yeah it's |
| 7980s | frustrating and he saw just i mean |
| 7981s | pelican is i mean his echo was one of |
| 7984s | the one of the main reasons why the |
| 7985s | atlanta rain was so dominant you know |
| 7987s | when he was on that lineup and |
| 7988s | especially when it came to like you know |
| 7990s | end of end of tournament play and the |
| 7992s | kind of play that get got them to hawaii |
| 7994s | in the first place right |
| 7996s | so no surprise i see that be really |
| 7997s | effective so okay so moving forward then |
| 8000s | uh instead of looking back padapan comes |
| 8002s | in here he looks incredible uh you know |
| 8004s | when we've seen in this series on that |
| 8005s | sojourn we are going to get to see new |
| 8007s | queen street but you know a map remember |
| 8009s | we've seen zarya that is true that |
| 8012s | that's not the plan for the outlaws |
| 8014s | right dante obviously is in here and we |
| 8016s | know what to expect here this should |
| 8018s | hopefully find the outlaws in like a |
| 8019s | comfort position there's always the |
| 8021s | chance that you can play like a hanzo |
| 8022s | right uh we've seen teams double in the |
| 8024s | hanzo i'm also on colosseum but |
| 8026s | sometimes here on new queen stream one |
| 8028s | of the more interesting things i think |
| 8030s | is that |
| 8031s | funny asher doesn't come back in right |
| 8033s | so you'll have the gladiators yeah |
| 8035s | they'll end up |
| 8036s | continuing to play with |
| 8039s | skewed in the lineup so uh what do we |
| 8041s | see from them in terms of uh the |
| 8044s | supports right do we see them go with |
| 8046s | like a gap zen they try and play |
| 8047s | something along those lines uh no anna's |
| 8050s | in do you play a forgita like uh surely |
| 8052s | not the few series |
| 8058s | okay so anna's dance |
| 8061s | okay so i mean |
| 8063s | why so good is sojourn though oh |
| 8066s | interesting |
| 8068s | all right |
| 8069s | you have my attention |
| 8071s | sir |
| 8072s | we got a neutral between the doomfist |
| 8074s | this often happens while the tracers |
| 8076s | make their way into the background look |
| 8077s | where this is in this part we're |
| 8079s | scooties you could also play the ash |
| 8081s | here at the start uh |
| 8084s | because early bot progress is so |
| 8087s | huge and crucial that if you get like a |
| 8090s | pick off let's say with an ashrae which |
| 8092s | may be a little bit easier you can play |
| 8093s | the longer range like maybe you can |
| 8094s | actually get a little bit more progress |
| 8096s | early on |
| 8097s | uh it doesn't seem to be working out |
| 8098s | that way though for the outlaws i mean |
| 8100s | excuse playing that crazy off angle |
| 8102s | and again he brings pelican down there |
| 8104s | so the gladiators had a fair bit of |
| 8105s | focus on the middle part of the map |
| 8107s | right fans playing inside that tube |
| 8109s | uh right here uh and excuse playing |
| 8112s | underneath sort of uh out of away from |
| 8114s | them a little bit more there so i like |
| 8115s | the initial setup for los angeles here |
| 8118s | panapan now is in a pretty powerful spot |
| 8120s | as you can see merritt cannot do that on |
| 8122s | the ash pad upon stamping his dominance |
| 8124s | here |
| 8126s | he couldn't do it on the sojourn either |
| 8128s | i mean you're going to just strafe into |
| 8130s | the line of fire of a fully charged rail |
| 8132s | shot and |
| 8133s | it really doesn't make it a difficult |
| 8135s | shot for paddy to hit |
| 8137s | uh he's gonna he's gonna hit shots like |
| 8139s | that |
| 8139s | all day uh so you'll have a nano here |
| 8142s | for the wall switch maybe give it on the |
| 8143s | dante that can test because uh things |
| 8146s | can start to get out of control rather |
| 8148s | quickly you're gonna have an overclock |
| 8149s | here uh you're also gonna probably have |
| 8151s | a nano from gladiators too so they're |
| 8153s | getting up to the butt scratch yeah i'd |
| 8154s | love like a counter like that's the wind |
| 8156s | probability based on like statistical |
| 8158s | data sort of going up or going down |
| 8160s | based on like that first fight progress |
| 8162s | or like the first team to get the block |
| 8163s | to x distance because that's the |
| 8165s | checkpoint already |
| 8167s | for the gladiators they don't look like |
| 8168s | they're slowing down ryder may be forced |
| 8170s | to uh bend the knee here you just hold |
| 8172s | out |
| 8173s | oh you're kidding |
| 8175s | just stay on in isn't it we're gonna |
| 8177s | push |
| 8179s | okay i think most most sort of stable |
| 8182s | individuals probably don't do that but |
| 8184s | that's that's right man he's he's |
| 8186s | cracked he's going for broke |
| 8189s | i mean more progress right |
| 8191s | you're gonna have players coming back |
| 8192s | off spawn here for the outlaws |
| 8195s | still with a nano |
| 8197s | but you don't have to play on the bot |
| 8198s | here uh if you're the gladiators you can |
| 8200s | back up a little bit concede some space |
| 8202s | wait for ryder to get back because he's |
| 8203s | gonna have that closer respawn and doom |
| 8205s | so fast you see he's already back in the |
| 8207s | fight stand up straight |
| 8209s | let's see iris is |
| 8210s | really tries to |
| 8212s | avoid skyping |
| 8213s | he actually |
| 8215s | i mean he knows somebody's honor players |
| 8216s | this year is that he actually you know |
| 8219s | deals with the projectile aspect of |
| 8220s | honest healing a lot and doesn't want to |
| 8222s | scope in if you can help it |
| 8224s | uh at quite long ranges he's still able |
| 8226s | to heal people like that's quite |
| 8227s | impressive |
| 8228s | i feel like this kind of jockeying for |
| 8230s | positions almost better for the |
| 8231s | gladiators in the long run because |
| 8232s | you're gonna have this transcendence on |
| 8233s | that any situation where game state |
| 8236s | doesn't get advanced in in the outlaws |
| 8238s | direction is obviously great for the |
| 8239s | glads right and they've got such a lead |
| 8241s | and they can just sit back and wait for |
| 8243s | pap arnold casey to find a big pick here |
| 8245s | last row gets that oh very very scary |
| 8247s | stuff you you approach with care as last |
| 8250s | row it gets a trade but you nano for a |
| 8252s | trade it's it's not good it's just not a |
| 8254s | great rate at all and that bot is moving |
| 8255s | awful quick back into position |
| 8257s | and dante's got to get back to the rest |
| 8259s | of the team be careful he knows that the |
| 8260s | pulse bomb was on deck |
| 8263s | who is this |
| 8265s | looks like pelican has uh |
| 8267s | made it all the way around okay trying |
| 8268s | to get out |
| 8270s | uh the bot doesn't make any progress |
| 8272s | really for the gladiators but doesn't |
| 8273s | really matter right they haven't such a |
| 8274s | great spot |
| 8278s | no one no not a lot of one here |
| 8280s | potential here like merit |
| 8282s | can't really you know like you can't |
| 8283s | just dish out a rail at long range for |
| 8285s | like an insta kill uh the way the |
| 8286s | paddock |
| 8287s | can so you know scoot can play these |
| 8290s | kind of long range angles he's kind of |
| 8291s | risky once and now he takes the he just |
| 8293s | backs away and he's oh oh |
| 8295s | what is that |
| 8298s | paddle with open arms he's pelican the |
| 8300s | kind of bear hug he'd rather avoid |
| 8302s | those are probably the easier shots to |
| 8304s | hit like think about when you play hanzo |
| 8307s | obviously way different uh |
| 8309s | but hanzo like just kind of like |
| 8311s | spamming chokes with like those arrows |
| 8313s | right like you have a rail and you think |
| 8316s | about tracer's body like takes up like a |
| 8318s | decent size of that window and the rail |
| 8320s | like projectile like with is like |
| 8322s | pretty forgiving like there's a pretty |
| 8324s | good chance you're gonna hit something |
| 8325s | uh as that projectile goes through |
| 8328s | 5 minutes and 30 on the clock |
| 8330s | switches come in for the outlaws |
| 8333s | but i mean this this bot is just rolling |
| 8337s | on in though this is leisurely for the |
| 8339s | gladiators now |
| 8342s | i mean |
| 8343s | [Music] |
| 8345s | okay dude |
| 8347s | why is he there who knows doesn't matter |
| 8349s | this is about to get out of hand i mean |
| 8350s | what a way to dispatch your foe by full |
| 8352s | clearing them in the last map of the |
| 8353s | series that start to look like a bit |
| 8355s | more of a distinct possibility now |
| 8357s | overclocked for panapan he's got that |
| 8360s | tack shoe to flick matt |
| 8361s | beware |
| 8363s | iris down to that headshot here and i |
| 8365s | don't hate that from dante but it's |
| 8366s | still not enough to put actual pressure |
| 8368s | on paddy's the ball will continue its |
| 8370s | inexorable advance and merits it's |
| 8372s | questioning whether he really wants to |
| 8373s | contest it i don't blame the guy |
| 8375s | honestly last trigger gets rid of rhino |
| 8376s | here and again it's going to be a war of |
| 8378s | attrition and the gladiators are winning |
| 8379s | out in |
| 8380s | 127 meters and counting dante with the |
| 8383s | biotic grenade he's done here and |
| 8384s | pelican won't be able to hang around for |
| 8386s | too much longer either oh my that was a |
| 8388s | stinker |
| 8390s | that is uh |
| 8393s | there's uh so the outlaws are playing |
| 8394s | that series close |
| 8396s | that is an absolutely brutal way to lose |
| 8399s | though uh |
| 8401s | the gladiators get control of the push |
| 8403s | bot |
| 8404s | and |
| 8405s | march him all the way down uh |
| 8408s | completing the map and i believe the |
| 8410s | almost finished with zero yeah zero |
| 8412s | meters of progress yeah just |
| 8415s | nothing uh there so you see uh hunter |
| 8417s | going in there beautiful haircut yeah |
| 8420s | with it all smiles under the definition |
| 8422s | of what we call dero chic |
| 8424s | uh yeah in australia yeah really oh okay |
| 8427s | darrow's like a short form of derelict |
| 8429s | you know like kind of uh |
| 8431s | kind of unkempt on purpose you know i |
| 8433s | mean that's kind of look there you love |
| 8434s | to see it bring back an iconic |
| 8436s | australian look and well well the |
| 8438s | houston outlaws can't be feeling good |
| 8440s | about heading down to the lower bracket |
| 8441s | after that kind of statement's been made |
| 8443s | against them not matt we said at the |
| 8444s | start of the series we established this |
| 8446s | we said |
| 8447s | what's going to be really put to the |
| 8448s | test is the flexibility and the range of |
| 8451s | strategies that the outlaws have at |
| 8452s | their disposal the fact is they came up |
| 8454s | wanting in that regard |
| 8456s | and i tell you what i thought piggy |
| 8458s | looked pretty good uh |
| 8460s | playing the winston uh when they did it |
| 8462s | uh and then azaria was really good it's |
| 8464s | just that it's interesting the two |
| 8466s | things that we know the outlaws are |
| 8468s | gonna fall back on is like the |
| 8469s | doomfist-based stuff and the sigma-based |
| 8470s | stuff it's the things that the linears |
| 8472s | were able to take advantage of rather |
| 8474s | easily right uh they knew exactly what |
| 8475s | was coming the comps are gonna run |
| 8477s | around it and how they were gonna |
| 8478s | counter it uh it's when they kind of |
| 8480s | threw in those wrinkles right of you |
| 8482s | know playing the zarya playing the |
| 8484s | winston that's when the gladiators had |
| 8485s | their trouble let's talk about our |
| 8487s | player of the match here for the los |
| 8489s | angeles gladiators definitely a few uh |
| 8491s | players standing up here but i gotta say |
| 8493s | uh rhino really impressed we've got to |
| 8495s | see some wrecking ball from him right |
| 8497s | which is a bit of a rare retreat here |
| 8499s | but the guy doesn't really seem |
| 8500s | perturbed about having to play any sort |
| 8502s | of tank hero it's a consistent piece of |
| 8504s | why this team gets to boast their |
| 8506s | flexibility as a unit |
| 8508s | no he had a pretty good series but i |
| 8510s | also think it just kind of the overall |
| 8512s | meaning to this team and kind of seeing |
| 8514s | how |
| 8515s | two teams handle things differently |
| 8517s | right where you kind of have to bring in |
| 8518s | multiple tanks for the outlaws to kind |
| 8520s | of play different stuff |
| 8522s | where the gladiators are able to keep |
| 8523s | him in and like what we saw him play |
| 8526s | we saw him play winston we saw him play |
| 8528s | doom we saw him play some ball we know |
| 8530s | we can play reinhardt uh |
| 8533s | like we've seen him do just about |
| 8535s | everything at an extremely high level |
| 8538s | and it's such a huge thing that the |
| 8540s | gladiators have that not many other |
| 8542s | teams in the league have at the current |
| 8544s | moment right as you go down to one tank |
| 8546s | uh it'll be having one person who's able |
| 8549s | to cover all of those different heroes |
| 8551s | uh |
| 8552s | is tough yeah and reiner i think played |
| 8554s | great today but i also think just kind |
| 8556s | of what he brings to this team is just |
| 8559s | so massive that i think you know when |
| 8560s | you see how the outlaws have to come up |
| 8562s | with it on the other side you kind of |
| 8564s | see that it's a huge advantage of a |
| 8565s | player like this and in fact and with |
| 8567s | the fact that both your dps players can |
| 8568s | play genji as well padapan is like very |
| 8570s | uniquely flexible in that regard we just |
| 8573s | don't see that kind of crossover between |
| 8574s | projectile and and hit scan heroes and |
| 8577s | then you have a bunch of specialists uh |
| 8578s | for your backline that can come in here |
| 8580s | it's a real recipe for success but rhino |
| 8582s | with uh you know upwards of 10 final |
| 8584s | blows per 10 is crucial you could see |
| 8585s | just how involved |
| 8586s | in so many of these fights that he is |
| 8588s | sometimes the fight gets opened up by a |
| 8591s | patapon like first pick sometimes though |
| 8593s | it's rhino that has to go in and |
| 8595s | manufacture those opportunities here so |
| 8597s | i think the gladiators have done pretty |
| 8598s | well backing up their statements saying |
| 8599s | we are the best we're here to dominate |
| 8601s | uh and it means that going forward in |
| 8603s | this upper bracket it's going to get |
| 8604s | exciting because them going up against |
| 8606s | the winner of seoul and hangzhou |
| 8608s | west fans probably feeling pretty |
| 8609s | confident right now |
| 8611s | yeah and i believe for the outlaws what |
| 8613s | it means for them |
| 8614s | i was just told that they were gonna |
| 8616s | play toronto defiant which i actually |
| 8618s | thought toronto played i thought they |
| 8620s | looked pretty good against shanghai uh i |
| 8622s | actually think you know shanghai |
| 8623s | obviously takes that but i thought |
| 8624s | toronto put up a really good fight so uh |
| 8627s | we're not surprised to see that series |
| 8629s | be it's a dangerous one |
| 8631s | very very dangerous you've left me when |
| 8632s | i've said this before but that |
| 8633s | definitely feels like a trap game stick |
| 8635s | around everybody don't go too far we've |
| 8637s | got more of our western region teams |
| 8639s | fighting to advance in this upper |
| 8640s | bracket stick around this is the |

| 8918s | welcome to game break everybody i'm here |
| 8919s | joined now by reiner from los angeles |
| 8922s | gladiators writer congratulations on the |
| 8924s | win now uh a good start uh for the |
| 8927s | tournament for the gladiators and i do |
| 8929s | feel like i do want to ask uh was there |
| 8931s | anything i don't know if you watched the |
| 8933s | houston match yesterday i'm assuming you |
| 8934s | did |
| 8936s | yeah maybe not |
| 8937s | but i mean was there anything you |
| 8938s | learned from that match that sort of |
| 8940s | helped you get the win today well we |
| 8942s | obviously like went over in review right |
| 8944s | but the only thing i really remember is |
| 8945s | piggy playing run and i heard that i |
| 8947s | kind of just stopped paying attention so |
| 8950s | i mean |
| 8951s | it's typical houston dante and they play |
| 8953s | doom piggy and they play |
| 8955s | mediocre gameplay |
| 8957s | typical houston mediocre gameplay all |
| 8960s | right um and i also want to ask because |
| 8962s | i don't know if um i don't know if this |
| 8963s | is true but i remember seeing you today |
| 8965s | uh i mean gladiators playing the |
| 8967s | wrecking ball dive competition i don't |
| 8968s | think if we i don't think we saw a lot |
| 8971s | of that during throughout the regular |
| 8972s | season uh was that something you guys |
| 8974s | specifically came up with for the |
| 8975s | houston uh play or was that just on the |
| 8978s | fly |
| 8980s | well i might be banned from playing ball |
| 8981s | and officials uh that was a that was an |
| 8984s | in-game swap for the you know coaches |
| 8985s | are muted they can't say nothing |
| 8987s | you know i'm like the team captain other |
| 8989s | players can't say nothing so in-game |
| 8991s | audible worked out pretty good |
| 8994s | i mean it was great i don't think it was |
| 8995s | pretty good it was really good you |
| 8997s | really popped off on that wrecking ball |
| 8998s | so i'm really excited to see more of |
| 9000s | that uh and also lastly |
| 9002s | i don't know if you know but i remember |
| 9004s | avraham one of our casters tweeting |
| 9006s | uh tweeting saying that uh uh fate from |
| 9009s | shanghai dragons actually wanted to meet |
| 9011s | you guys and specifically you reiner uh |
| 9014s | because he really wants to see how good |
| 9016s | you are um what are your thoughts on the |
| 9019s | shanghai dragons and if you have any |
| 9020s | message for fate please go ahead well |
| 9022s | i'm really excited to play against |
| 9024s | shanghai obviously you know they won |
| 9026s | overwatch league last year but i |
| 9027s | wouldn't necessarily say it counted |
| 9029s | because i wasn't in the league yet so |
| 9030s | it's kind of a mickey mouse championship |
| 9032s | but uh i do have something to say to |
| 9034s | fate and you know he said it he's |
| 9036s | excited to see how good i am but i'm |
| 9038s | excited to see how bad he is |
| 9040s | i like that answer right and with that |
| 9042s | i'm going to wrap up this interview |
| 9044s | reiner thank you so much and let's head |
| 9046s | back to the desk uh all |
| 9048s | awfully take it away i'm sorry |
| 9054s | thank you very much danny did that |
| 9056s | interview just happened |
| 9060s | he is confident |
| 9063s | oh my god he started the game he started |
| 9066s | the series i guess first teabagging his |
| 9068s | opponents dabbing on the fans and then |
| 9071s | now he comes in and |
| 9075s | no |
| 9076s | respect for your elders |
| 9080s | mickey mouse championship |
| 9084s | okay i i'm so sorry jake and bisho i |
| 9086s | know that i was cheering for the outlaws |
| 9087s | before but oh my god the gladiators |
| 9090s | the gladiators with that spice coming |
| 9092s | out for reiner i feel like he's got to |
| 9093s | be making some either fans or enemies |
| 9096s | after that |
| 9096s | you've been to both |
| 9098s | you know |
| 9099s | you can't win them all but i i respect |
| 9101s | it except for the jab you know |
| 9102s | he dabs you know it's not 2016 anymore |
| 9107s | really i i respect the bag but you know |
| 9110s | dropping a dad that has to be the first |
| 9111s | time |
| 9112s | boomer dabbing is for boomers what do |
| 9114s | you mean dab no no no he's at least well |
| 9118s | i mean honestly he didn't need the dab |
| 9119s | to add spice with an interview like that |
| 9121s | tossing out like mediocre game play as |
| 9123s | you said mickey mouse championship |
| 9125s | it was so good and i actually think we |
| 9127s | have a replay of that there it is quick |
| 9129s | for it ready for it oh snowy boy my |
| 9132s | favorite is like he's like bouncing like |
| 9134s | getting ready for something well here he |
| 9135s | comes yeah there we go |
| 9138s | smirk too so he knew exactly what he was |
| 9141s | doing |
| 9142s | aggressive words coming out for reiner |
| 9144s | which johnny it kind of fits with some |
| 9147s | of the really aggressive compositions |
| 9149s | that we were seeing especially in like |
| 9150s | you know the first map we had the loose |
| 9152s | show that was coming out and setting the |
| 9154s | pace for the series so what did you |
| 9155s | think of that i mean the gladiators just |
| 9157s | came out like guns ablazing and like no |
| 9160s | time whatsoever for the houston outlaws |
| 9162s | to set up or like pull off what they |
| 9164s | wanted to do the houston outlaws they've |
| 9165s | been playing a lot of zenyatta on a only |
| 9167s | jing tower before so this was no |
| 9169s | surprise but the l.a gladiators did |
| 9171s | something funny asterisk you said on |
| 9172s | that lucio and i thought it was really |
| 9174s | interesting how they dope on top of the |
| 9176s | houston outlaws before iris or lasso |
| 9179s | could get any kind of angles with this |
| 9181s | senior nana so typically you you would |
| 9183s | see these compositions come out like the |
| 9185s | senior and diana and they would have |
| 9186s | long side lines and you would be able to |
| 9188s | peel backwards and hit the sleep darts |
| 9191s | utilize the harmony and the discord orb |
| 9193s | but the gladiators the way they |
| 9194s | navigated around the map with the close |
| 9196s | walls they would start the dives with |
| 9198s | kevster and reiner swell in the doomfist |
| 9200s | they didn't give houston outlaws these |
| 9202s | angles to operate this composition in |
| 9204s | the first place and with this aggression |
| 9207s | the houston outlaws they were always on |
| 9209s | the back foot they couldn't quite get |
| 9211s | into the groove and like kevster were |
| 9212s | just like harassing the team so much |
| 9214s | costa that even like pelican couldn't |
| 9216s | really get going either so a huge |
| 9218s | difference for me yeah i i absolutely |
| 9220s | agree i think this midtown |
| 9222s | was really and a little bit of toronto |
| 9224s | was the only times we really saw the |
| 9226s | gladiators stumble like gladiators had |
| 9228s | this map in there in their size it was |
| 9231s | going so well and then piggy zaire is |
| 9233s | apparently the hard counter and they |
| 9235s | only played it for that map but we went |
| 9237s | over to dorado and we got to see some of |
| 9238s | the strengths of the outlaws even with |
| 9240s | piggy on that winston but you know matt |
| 9243s | mitch sort of talked about this during |
| 9244s | the cast arms just hasn't really had |
| 9247s | that firepower for this team so far in |
| 9249s | this season |
| 9250s | maybe we are holding him to such a |
| 9252s | ridiculously high standard that it's |
| 9253s | hard for him to have those i mean he's |
| 9255s | still an elite he's still great but he |
| 9257s | did even in this map right here he |
| 9259s | didn't really have that dominant |
| 9261s | presence he wasn't taking over the game |
| 9262s | like we know he could so that might |
| 9264s | become more of an issue as we go further |
| 9267s | into the matches when he starts going up |
| 9269s | against the shanghai dragons we start |
| 9271s | going up against the seoul dynasty and |
| 9272s | there is some serious firepower on the |
| 9274s | other end but for me with these two |
| 9277s | players kepster and patty pan were the |
| 9279s | ones that really stepped up they were |
| 9280s | the difference makers for the gladiators |
| 9282s | i had questions about paddy pan heading |
| 9284s | into this tournament of is he going to |
| 9286s | be able to have that dominant hit scan |
| 9287s | performance he showed us up in the |
| 9289s | kickoff clash after we doubted him so |
| 9291s | maybe i shouldn't have doubted him in |
| 9292s | this one but he did show up but kepster |
| 9294s | versus pelican that was really the |
| 9296s | storyline the real storyline we actually |
| 9298s | have a stack card coming here of these |
| 9300s | two going head to head and kevs is just |
| 9302s | showing why he is an mvp candidate right |
| 9304s | now why he is so dominant on that hero |
| 9306s | yeah i mean the thing is well you saw |
| 9308s | this play out in game if we just take a |
| 9310s | look at the stats quickly it's like oh |
| 9312s | wow |
| 9313s | 44 final votes 25 i mean half the deaths |
| 9317s | 18 throughout the entire match from |
| 9319s | kepster we played four maps and he died |
| 9321s | 18 times and like every category he just |
| 9324s | like completely outpaced pelican but you |
| 9326s | also saw this like visualized when they |
| 9328s | were playing the game pelican it felt |
| 9330s | like it was always chasing around |
| 9332s | kepster houston outlaws they were |
| 9334s | playing the slower style so pelican is |
| 9335s | like your job is to make sure that |
| 9338s | kevster doesn't kill us |
| 9339s | and kev still killed you |
| 9341s | not again |
| 9342s | so you could really see the difference |
| 9344s | as well kevster was always in control |
| 9346s | always playing aggressive and finding |
| 9347s | those picks and it made such a huge |
| 9348s | difference now in the pre-show danny |
| 9350s | actually spoke with the gladiators head |
| 9352s | coach as to why they decided to pick the |
| 9354s | outlaws |
| 9356s | the outlaws were the worst team left and |
| 9358s | we'll probably have an updated tweet |
| 9360s | from the coach as well that we can pull |
| 9362s | up and see i'm not sure what it is yet i |
| 9364s | think it might be a little bit more |
| 9365s | trash talk there's |
| 9367s | oh |
| 9368s | jake despair |
| 9369s | how to win a single map in a tournament |
| 9371s | versus the gladiators ask houston oh no |
| 9374s | damn i wish i could read |
| 9377s | until we |
| 9378s | we he |
| 9381s | i'm just great i i like hunter you know |
| 9383s | he's i do you think he's influencing |
| 9386s | rhino do you think he has a bad |
| 9387s | influence on reiner and he is the reason |
| 9389s | that ryder is doing this or is this just |
| 9390s | reiner of his own free will |
| 9393s | i i'd like to believe that reiner |
| 9395s | operates as his own individual under his |
| 9397s | own circumstances and the reiner is pure |
| 9403s | he's pure really you think he's pure |
| 9405s | after that |
| 9406s | yes |
| 9407s | all right i like the optimism and the |
| 9411s | yeah the optimism in finding the good in |
| 9413s | everyone in the world but i absolutely |
| 9414s | love that tweet love the trash talk |
| 9416s | coming in we actually have an updated |
| 9417s | bracket uh with our new results plugged |
| 9420s | in so let's go ahead and take a look and |
| 9422s | see how everything is shaking up we have |
| 9425s | the gladiators moving on uh the outlaws |
| 9429s | dropping down into that match for going |
| 9431s | against florida mayhem as you oh no |
| 9432s | excuse me where are they there's a lower |
| 9434s | bracket there's a little buffer it's a |
| 9435s | lower bracket don't worry |
| 9439s | [Applause] |
| 9443s | they're gonna be going against the |
| 9444s | defiant right there excuse me for that |
| 9446s | uh first miss uh speak but okay outlaw |
| 9450s | is going against the defiant in the |
| 9452s | lower bracket what do we think about |
| 9454s | that it |
| 9456s | feels like a really houston moment where |
| 9458s | they come in with the expectations and |
| 9461s | like they do look good but toronto matt |
| 9463s | was speaking to it at the end of that |
| 9464s | match toronto had a really good match |
| 9467s | and it looks like that could be an |
| 9468s | absolute banger yeah and but houston go |
| 9470s | out in the first round would be tragic |
| 9472s | so |
| 9472s | hopefully i'm wrong i would love to see |
| 9474s | a potential atlanta houston match though |
| 9477s | that would be good that would be good |
| 9479s | again though a rematch it could be good |
| 9481s | yeah but then again oh you haven't seen |
| 9482s | that that was one of the worst c9s in |
| 9483s | the entire league so we'll catch you up |
| 9485s | with c93 so excited there's so much that |
| 9488s | we're gonna do we're gonna pull the ipad |
| 9489s | out in the middle of each of these |
| 9490s | breaks educate me please but listen |
| 9492s | before we do that we still have the next |
| 9494s | match that we need to get into which is |
| 9496s | going to be london taking on the shock |
| 9499s | and both of you guys were pretty decided |
| 9501s | that you think the shock is going to |
| 9503s | take this however i |
| 9504s | am still on the side of spitfire |
| 9506s | nepotism maybe hopium definitely i think |
| 9510s | that the spitfire can take this but tell |
| 9512s | me why you don't think they can scott |
| 9515s | on the helm of like just such talented |
| 9517s | players they have crusty as a head coach |
| 9520s | london spitfire's biggest sort of ace up |
| 9522s | their sleeve is they go oh rush do you |
| 9524s | know how to deal with it and usually a |
| 9526s | lot of these middling teams they do |
| 9527s | struggle to adapt they don't have the |
| 9529s | you know individual players to deal with |
| 9531s | it the san francisco shock has very |
| 9532s | rarely stumbled to these kind of you |
| 9534s | know pitfalls that are coming in from |
| 9536s | the london spitfire i think mechanically |
| 9538s | the shock players will probably be able |
| 9539s | to beat the london spitfire i would be |
| 9542s | shocked if the london spitfire kept this |
| 9544s | streak going and somehow managed to |
| 9546s | break down this 12-0 san francisco |
| 9548s | shopkin if i do have to give one |
| 9550s | head-to-head matchup to just keep your |
| 9552s | eyes on uh it's going to be shacks |
| 9554s | versus proper now we already talked |
| 9555s | enough about proper who he did but like |
| 9557s | shacks in like 2019 2020 he hit a stride |
| 9561s | on tracer and was like one of the best |
| 9562s | tracers around specifically a very |
| 9564s | aggressive tracer he liked getting in |
| 9566s | finding pixel supports and he might go |
| 9567s | down you know getting them but he found |
| 9570s | those picks eventually is he going to |
| 9572s | get that room to operate on tracer |
| 9574s | perhaps you know |
| 9576s | side by side with proper which is very |
| 9577s | hard to do that could be like an opening |
| 9579s | for the london spitfire a win condition |
| 9581s | if you will against the the shock to our |
| 9583s | favorite okay checks to be proper that's |
| 9585s | what it is no |
| 9587s | that's what i hope |
| 9588s | as well right |
| 9590s | a little bit a little bit i think we're |
| 9591s | going to have to let the fans at home |
| 9593s | decide what they heard from johnny as |
| 9596s | you know i can't take you as seriously |
| 9597s | when i don't see you with the snorkel |
| 9598s | mask and the snorkel just next to you |
| 9601s | but listen as he goes digging for his |
| 9603s | swim supplies we actually have the next |
| 9606s | match ready to go so let's go ahead and |
| 9607s | toss it over to our casters uber and mr |
| 9609s | x to get us into the game |
| 9614s | thank you very much overlea yes quite |
| 9616s | the preamble from our friends in the |
| 9618s | truck but i kind of thought we were |
| 9621s | going is that johnny's outfit for when |
| 9622s | he would go get a like go swim for |
| 9625s | mackerel i don't know how do you catch |
| 9626s | mackerel in sweden |
| 9628s | you get like |
| 9630s | kind of like a i'm just like a bear with |
| 9632s | your hands yeah mastery of banter you |
| 9634s | know what i mean johnny johnny needs to |
| 9636s | snorkel because he's drowning |
| 9637s | loads of mackerel then i'd i'd be the |
| 9639s | mackerel king yeah |
| 9641s | you'll be double fisting macro you'll be |
| 9643s | like they make a statue of you in the |
| 9644s | town square because you solve like |
| 9646s | they're like the tiniest the tiniest |
| 9648s | statue in every town |
| 9650s | yeah well i mean listen to scale what |
| 9652s | can i say and now this this game was |
| 9654s | something like the shock said they're so |
| 9656s | nice they said they chose the spitfire |
| 9658s | because they thought the spitfire had |
| 9661s | the best rush team and they wanted to |
| 9662s | play against that whereas hunters like |
| 9664s | yeah they think they were no |
| 9666s | they're full of it is krusty is like |
| 9668s | yeah you're lying |
| 9670s | think of the kids krusty you are lying |
| 9671s | to children how does that feel they'd be |
| 9673s | better off just doing what the |
| 9675s | gladiators do and just gaining a ton of |
| 9677s | followers right and just memeing on |
| 9679s | twitter instead of just being like oh |
| 9680s | yeah i think they're great like |
| 9683s | i mean listen because there's no way |
| 9684s | that that's happened okay |
| 9686s | look in fairness |
| 9687s | san francisco very good in online play |
| 9690s | this is |
| 9691s | not on online play this is in person in |
| 9694s | fairness san francisco definitely |
| 9696s | struggled in a stadium atmosphere no i'm |
| 9698s | not suggesting these are remotely the |
| 9699s | same |
| 9700s | i mean we've seen the discourse over the |
| 9702s | last couple days it's a little bit more |
| 9705s | scaled down than that but still i mean |
| 9707s | this team needs to turn up face to face |
| 9709s | and and put on a show because in texas |
| 9711s | they did not do that and the london |
| 9713s | spitfire are looking more and more |
| 9714s | dangerous as they go saying they've even |
| 9716s | managed to shed that ego they started to |
| 9718s | develop when they started to find these |
| 9720s | results no it's not a trap game but you |
| 9722s | know london definitely have a |
| 9724s | well-drilled approach to the game |
| 9726s | it's not a trap game because london's |
| 9728s | really good yeah i mean london has been |
| 9730s | on fire right in the the mid-seas |
| 9732s | madness like not many teams uh probably |
| 9735s | would have loved to pick london here as |
| 9738s | uh it'll be sparkler and shaq starring |
| 9739s | in dps uh backbone in to start in |
| 9742s | support so uh some zenyatta play gonna |
| 9745s | come in uh from the london spitfire uh |
| 9748s | but this is not a team to be taken |
| 9750s | lightly whatsoever like the start of the |
| 9752s | season obviously off to a rough start |
| 9755s | they have really started to hit a stride |
| 9757s | and |
| 9758s | they seem extremely confident and i |
| 9760s | think if you're the shock like this is a |
| 9764s | it's a it's a it's a really um |
| 9767s | i i feel like it's almost like a kind of |
| 9768s | like season defining game and it may be |
| 9770s | like really early to say something like |
| 9772s | that but you know with how good they've |
| 9774s | been in the regular season and then how |
| 9776s | they play it you know not able to win or |
| 9778s | make the finals in dallas was you're |
| 9780s | probably disappointing for them |
| 9782s | you know you pick your opponent you |
| 9783s | gotta come in and be your opponent here |
| 9785s | in a live setting face to face |
| 9789s | you don't win series like this i think |
| 9791s | you know people will just start kind of |
| 9793s | like writing off regular season success |
| 9795s | right like you know this is what's gonna |
| 9797s | happen with this team uh it's just |
| 9799s | uh let's see what happens at an event uh |
| 9802s | proper sam in the starting lineup with |
| 9804s | uh mikey here today |
| 9806s | uh |
| 9807s | looks like our uh first myth will be |
| 9809s | illios so |
| 9811s | probably i know some echo play maybe i |
| 9813s | know mikey potentially on the wrecking |
| 9815s | ball we'll see what the shock decide to |
| 9817s | pull out because london the most likely |
| 9818s | we know what they're going to do right |
| 9819s | it's going to be that reinhardt base |
| 9821s | setup |
| 9822s | yeah i mean that's kind of at least the |
| 9825s | majority of what they've been playing i |
| 9826s | do want to mention though that we've |
| 9827s | seen a little bit |
| 9828s | from the spitfire where they've played |
| 9830s | some wrecking ball they played some |
| 9831s | winston-based compositions they can do |
| 9834s | it they just not really had a good |
| 9835s | reason to switch away from that |
| 9837s | reinhardt setup so the biggest question |
| 9839s | you know we talk about you know san |
| 9840s | francisco definitely to back up their |
| 9842s | online play the biggest question is can |
| 9844s | that composition that core london |
| 9846s | composition be exploited because until |
| 9848s | that happens london are gonna ease their |
| 9850s | way into these matches they're gonna |
| 9852s | ease their way through this tournament |
| 9853s | until someone says no you're not gonna |
| 9855s | get away with this anymore and the |
| 9857s | shocker in an unenviable position |
| 9858s | because they have a lot of pressure on |
| 9860s | them and they don't even necessarily |
| 9862s | have like the the tournament defining |
| 9863s | results to back them up it's just online |
| 9865s | play it's just it's league play and yet |
| 9867s | everyone expects them to just go just to |
| 9869s | be haymakering their way into like an |
| 9871s | upper bracket final hit |
| 9873s | or a producer in our ear just told me |
| 9875s | that uh hottie just knocked down some |
| 9877s | push-ups in the room |
| 9879s | uh |
| 9880s | and i don't know whether that's like a |
| 9882s | move of intimidation i don't know no i |
| 9884s | won't |
| 9885s | what |
| 9892s | that's why i never do them so when i was |
| 9894s | in china casting some uh some overwatch |
| 9897s | uh myself and my co-commentator at the |
| 9898s | time |
| 9899s | or we were a bit nervous i was a bit |
| 9901s | newer obviously to sort of the the |
| 9903s | biggest we were in like an arena right |
| 9904s | so we would do some push-ups at the |
| 9905s | start of the game promise in china |
| 9908s | i mean |
| 9909s | i think doing push-ups |
| 9911s | it implies something very different to a |
| 9913s | defense in the arena so for us it was us |
| 9915s | working off nervous energy but um my |
| 9918s | understanding is that to them it implied |
| 9919s | like we were trying to show off |
| 9921s | masculinity you know what i mean and |
| 9922s | they found it very funny so |
| 9924s | you know they're not wrong yeah they're |
| 9926s | not wrong i mean we would trying to do |
| 9927s | that like we literally would just you |
| 9929s | know very sometimes you just replace |
| 9930s | push-ups with some with some bright |
| 9932s | shirts |
| 9936s | okay well i don't know if that was |
| 9938s | called for i've been in fairness |
| 9939s | everybody's getting some medium some |
| 9941s | medium shirt |
| 9943s | i don't know what to tell you because i |
| 9944s | look at the desk and everyone's looking |
| 9946s | like me you know what i'm saying i i |
| 9948s | look at i saw seth i saw kevin two |
| 9951s | very good looking guys looking like me |

| 9965s | the play this is this is the vibe |
| 9967s | and because everyone's trying to get |

| 9987s | real oh yeah something like that your |
| 9989s | honor i want to call the course |
| 9990s | attention to a photo of mitch leslie and |
| 9992s | matt morello with matching gold outfits |
| 9996s | yeah you remember that one because i was |
| 9998s | like semi forced to no you're practicing |
| 10001s | i made it sure it is there was no duress |
| 10003s | involved i mean i've got my gold shirt |
| 10005s | right here i mean you want to run a |
| 10006s | backpack let's do it |
| 10007s | what when is that what do you think |
| 10009s | mine i don't i don't know if mine is in |
| 10013s | my apartment i don't know hey those are |
| 10015s | worried a lot yeah you should be holding |
| 10016s | our bed okay yep all right push ups |
| 10021s | listen donning the crusader armor |
| 10022s | requires some degree of strength right |
| 10024s | party's working on that uh credit to him |
| 10027s | such an aggressive ryan player tied for |
| 10029s | second and fewest deaths yeah |
| 10032s | and i also what i love about london is |
| 10035s | uh this team like went through some |
| 10037s | rough patches last year and |
| 10039s | they knew that this team had talent it |
| 10041s | was their first year in the league right |
| 10043s | uh you know that last year they were |
| 10044s | playing like long distance pretty |
| 10046s | difficult like everybody kind of like |
| 10047s | had remote locations from each other |
| 10049s | uh ednuki and the rest of the team were |
| 10051s | like look like we know these players are |
| 10053s | talented we've seen it before |
| 10055s | this is their first run in the league |
| 10056s | it's gonna get better and |
| 10058s | brought up brought a lot of the crew |
| 10060s | back you know some additions right to |
| 10062s | that core and they've looked they look |
| 10065s | fantastic here at the beginning of the |
| 10066s | season you know people people treated |
| 10068s | you know when dpa joined the vancouver |
| 10071s | titans right people treated this this |
| 10073s | revelatory when he said we're just gonna |
| 10075s | find one thing we're good at and just do |
| 10077s | that and we can talk about how that was |
| 10079s | working and reasonably well but |
| 10080s | christopher's been doing that with the |
| 10082s | london spitfire since the start of this |
| 10083s | season you know it's not this that's not |
| 10085s | necessarily a novel approach if you |
| 10086s | consider how these teams sort of built |
| 10088s | their foundation right that rush comp we |
| 10090s | were kind of joking about it was like oh |
| 10092s | trolls is like pretty easily exploited |
| 10094s | by high ground all the comps like that |
| 10095s | this team just kept working on they |
| 10097s | refined it now it's kind of an obnoxious |
| 10100s | for their opponents to deal with |
| 10101s | oh and we got on the ground in dallas |
| 10103s | there were lots of people who were like |
| 10105s | man i'm so happy london's not here |
| 10107s | because they've been just rolling |
| 10108s | everybody in scrims uh |
| 10111s | and typically you hear something like |
| 10112s | that and you're like all right like |
| 10113s | let's see if it like transitions into |
| 10114s | games but like in this you know second |
| 10116s | six games of the first half of the |
| 10118s | season |
| 10120s | they were the lights out i mean they |
| 10122s | they were the real deal so |
| 10124s | also looks like in the in the room there |
| 10126s | today like everybody kind of uh |
| 10128s | you know no no pressure on the london |
| 10130s | spitfire now you've been waving across |
| 10132s | across the way uh maybe even a little |
| 10134s | trolling going on where they're playing |
| 10136s | with house money right the shock picked |
| 10138s | them the shock had been undefeated |
| 10140s | throughout the first half of the regular |
| 10142s | season like all the pressure here is on |
| 10145s | san francisco to turn up with a big win |
| 10147s | today and despite what krusty may have |
| 10149s | said you're never going to convince me |
| 10150s | that this pick wasn't made because the |
| 10152s | shop just felt that the spitfire were |
| 10153s | weaker than some of those other options |
| 10155s | there you know what i mean uh i mean i |
| 10157s | might be surprised i may have a little |
| 10159s | bit surprised maybe you don't consider |
| 10160s | the outlaws there as a you know |
| 10162s | possibility i do understand why teams |
| 10164s | are playing regional rivals rather than |
| 10166s | like you know we have west versus east |
| 10168s | picks because they don't really |
| 10169s | understand those teams to the same |
| 10170s | degree it's kind of hard to study up on |
| 10172s | that kind of tape so here we have a run |
| 10173s | back of a match that we saw much earlier |
| 10176s | on this season at a time with san |
| 10177s | francisco or obviously dominant and |
| 10178s | london were finding their feet it's a |
| 10180s | different story now the london spitfire |
| 10182s | are here to shame all of the doubters |
| 10185s | and it's gonna start on ilios |
| 10189s | so this is the |
| 10190s | pick of the shock so |
| 10192s | uh what you kind of think of this map |
| 10195s | like well not a fantastic reinhardt map |
| 10197s | right uh |
| 10199s | ruins another one like long range like |
| 10202s | the ability to you know run some |
| 10203s | wrecking ball stuff pretty good or just |
| 10205s | like reinhardt not like excelling there |
| 10208s | uh the one you'd kind of think that the |
| 10210s | reinhardt composition could be pretty |
| 10211s | good in is a lighthouse right so |
| 10214s | it's you kind of look at the rest of the |
| 10216s | maps like what like licheng tower |
| 10217s | there's like a few good reinhardt |
| 10218s | options right |
| 10220s | we'll see though what |
| 10222s | london decided to do |
| 10224s | uh coming out with the roadhog would be |
| 10227s | i mean it would be it would be spicy |
| 10230s | that would be the most |
| 10231s | i mean just let me just knock out some |
| 10233s | push-ups and insta-lock them |
| 10240s | yeah it's like every uh you know |
| 10243s | gym |
| 10244s | gym protein drinking you know what are |
| 10246s | they my brother does crossfit right you |
| 10248s | know that's their friday night that's |
| 10250s | not the same |
| 10252s | hit the iron temple and interlock some |
| 10254s | roadhog jim right don't identify with |
| 10256s | crossfit there has to be some separation |
| 10258s | there but just shows you the level of |
| 10260s | fitness that i know |
| 10263s | oh yeah we know |
| 10265s | that orange theory arc was uh was a fun |
| 10267s | one for sure matt all right hardy on the |
| 10268s | wrecking ball here so we've seen this |
| 10270s | from him this season he's getting |
| 10272s | harassed big times he crosses the map |
| 10274s | and at least he's having to snap up that |
| 10276s | mega health pack big biotic grenade over |
| 10278s | the back line there survivor already |
| 10279s | starting by posturing very aggressively |
| 10281s | here in this matchup |
| 10283s | yeah and sparker gonna come out on the |
| 10285s | ass she's actually slept right now uh |
| 10287s | from a distance here by violence but |
| 10289s | uh the ash gonna give a little bit more |
| 10291s | consistent you know long range damage uh |
| 10294s | the hanzo some more burst potential |
| 10296s | right i think hanzo also uh a little bit |
| 10298s | better about guarding himself like |
| 10300s | against a tracer push coming in |
| 10302s | i think we've just been watching hardy |
| 10304s | go to 300 and then get healed up the |
| 10306s | entire outside |
| 10307s | meanwhile sparker finds two banger head |
| 10310s | shots |
| 10311s | uh on violet and sam huge opener there |
| 10314s | in london remaining control the point |
| 10315s | i'm busy i don't know about you guys i'm |
| 10317s | a little travel sick after that one |
| 10319s | well like i mentioned it's property |
| 10320s | takes out sparker and that's kind of |
| 10322s | what they have to look at is |
| 10324s | i know can they keep sparker alive |
| 10326s | through the kind of uh onslaught of a |
| 10328s | push from proper and mikey it's london |
| 10331s | and control the point first because if |
| 10333s | they can keep sparker alive control the |
| 10335s | angles across this point the ash is |
| 10337s | going to be a really good pick |
| 10341s | beautiful start to be sure |
| 10343s | sam's hanzo |
| 10344s | streaky at times if we're honest |
| 10347s | find a bit more of a common pick now |
| 10349s | we're seeing from him |
| 10351s | there's a possum online for shacks |
| 10353s | one of the members of that los angeles |
| 10355s | valiant team that managed to beat the |
| 10356s | titans at the height of their power back |
| 10358s | in 2019 and that's a beautiful stick |
| 10360s | somehow sam's able to get away from the |
| 10362s | blaster radius but violet has no choice |
| 10366s | and it's a minefield laid over the point |
| 10368s | there from potty so |
| 10370s | players not able to get in there and uh |
| 10371s | backbone on the zen like they're kind of |
| 10374s | newfound uh zen prodigy here is the |
| 10378s | backbone traditionally like we've seen |
| 10380s | him play a lot of dps |
| 10381s | uh it's really kind of like the first |
| 10384s | week it was a little bit of a rough go |
| 10385s | from him on the dps if you remember back |
| 10387s | yes um |
| 10389s | yeah |
| 10394s | yeah like kind of all the talk around |
| 10396s | then but he's been very good since then |
| 10397s | as he's going to find a pick on the fin |
| 10399s | crosstalk |
| 10401s | i mean there are a lot of people hoping |
| 10402s | to see the london spitfire do well in |
| 10404s | this series but so far this is probably |
| 10406s | better than even the most |
| 10408s | wishful of them might have expected |
| 10410s | what a beautiful first round stanley's |
| 10412s | able to find backbone here and proper |
| 10414s | trying to get into the back line he gets |
| 10415s | rid of land at the very least you're all |
| 10417s | keeping ali you p says in spark it |
| 10420s | catches that one |
| 10422s | yeah the bob's still on the point though |
| 10424s | it's gonna be uh sparkers bob on the |
| 10426s | point she's putting down some damage for |
| 10427s | a little bit is this be a flip that |
| 10429s | happens for the shock but still 99 for |
| 10433s | the london spitfire right off the bat as |
| 10435s | good as you can ask for uh what you're |
| 10437s | going to look at now is like what hottie |
| 10439s | will get minefield you can use minefield |
| 10440s | on the point maybe that forces finn to |
| 10442s | use the transcendence right clear that |
| 10444s | out so allow them to kind of you know |
| 10446s | contest keep control over that area so |
| 10449s | mikey's got to be careful can't get |
| 10451s | caught out here maybe the shacks of the |
| 10452s | pulse bomb could even open things up |
| 10455s | that's a hanzo shot and then the kit you |
| 10457s | know orbs as well |
| 10460s | might have been a sonic that shaq just |
| 10462s | wasn't aware of right uh to sort of |
| 10464s | reveal his position because that came in |
| 10465s | far too quickly for that not to have |
| 10467s | been a coincidence |
| 10470s | let me get close to what 50 here |
| 10472s | probably for the shot so |
| 10474s | just that early pick |
| 10475s | buys him a decent amount of time |
| 10480s | party there assertively |
| 10482s | forcing mikey out of his side of the map |
| 10484s | here we go there's the mines let's see |
| 10486s | if we see the transcendence to clear |
| 10488s | this out it looks like it's not going |
| 10490s | maybe no i mean it's just it honestly is |
| 10492s | a zoning on because you have no one on |
| 10493s | the point right now for san francisco |
| 10495s | you're playing around the hanzo cops you |
| 10496s | don't want to be on the point at all |
| 10497s | wreckable hanzo doesn't make any sense |
| 10499s | hardy wins the duel sort of uh duel i |
| 10502s | guess guess would have been there |
| 10503s | crucially |
| 10505s | they can't get to it because of the |
| 10506s | mines and you never get used to the |
| 10508s | transcendence |
| 10511s | man that is uh |
| 10513s | that is a really good start for london |
| 10516s | and |
| 10517s | you know you're |
| 10519s | you're uh and look at this i mean we get |
| 10521s | lighthouse next i mean well would have |
| 10522s | been the one that you wouldn't have |
| 10524s | wanted here where this gives you some |
| 10525s | options for london but also we just saw |
| 10528s | them go head-to-head in a |
| 10529s | non-reinhardt battle and coming out on |
| 10532s | top is |
| 10533s | maybe people been sleeping a little bit |
| 10535s | on london kind of talking about how this |
| 10537s | is just a reinhardt rush based team like |
| 10540s | you know we're starting to see them kind |
| 10541s | of you know use the russia as their |
| 10543s | basis right in kind of like build off of |
| 10545s | that foundation now |
| 10547s | so this pick |
| 10548s | drew hardy a lot of criticism last year |
| 10550s | but it was said by you know |
| 10552s | obviously sort of management over this |
| 10555s | this spitfire roster he's the hardest |
| 10556s | working player i've ever seen and the |
| 10558s | development obviously from hardy is |
| 10560s | obvious right he's really popular by the |
| 10562s | way in in china |
| 10564s | well the chinese fans really love hardy |
| 10566s | they're they really adore him so uh |
| 10568s | congrats to him on that sort of |
| 10569s | popularity |
| 10571s | yeah i can see why he's earned it though |
| 10573s | for sure |
| 10574s | sam on the echo here |
| 10580s | mikey with a biotic grenade they're |
| 10581s | gonna put enough pressure to force him |
| 10583s | back just a little bit is making his |
| 10585s | life tough right every time you can see |
| 10586s | the top right mikey's got the discord on |
| 10588s | him uh from backbone he's also you know |
| 10592s | getting hit with the biotic grenades is |
| 10594s | see the shot getting on to the point |
| 10596s | here first london was not able to just |
| 10598s | launch them from the high ground of he |
| 10600s | spoke a little bit too soon sparker gets |
| 10602s | one yeah i like that from sam good |
| 10603s | response sparker obviously makes a |
| 10605s | flanking plane just sort of you know |
| 10606s | blows way out he's not ready for it at |
| 10608s | all throws it disrupts the shock down |
| 10610s | but good appeal there from sam at least |
| 10612s | to secure a trade and this is kind of |
| 10614s | what you want to see from san francisco |
| 10615s | right their pillars i think are finn's |
| 10617s | ability to find these key picks and |
| 10619s | obviously the the time-honored strategy |
| 10620s | of proper go kill uh are very important |
| 10622s | when sam when sam fires up on this team |
| 10625s | that's when they really start to look |
| 10627s | unstoppable right when yeah if the dps |
| 10628s | are kicking off |
| 10629s | a slower start for sam here but again |
| 10631s | plenty of match to play |
| 10633s | and we've seen sam have some of those |
| 10635s | pop-off moments here you know straight |
| 10637s | away right so |
| 10640s | just the start here his heart he gets |
| 10642s | really low i don't know if they're gonna |
| 10643s | be able to keep him alive |
| 10645s | it's a nice long range healing there |
| 10646s | from landon coming in and that's gonna |
| 10647s | be the nano it's used on the smoker to |
| 10649s | keep him up yeah i like this again so |
| 10651s | the spitfire is so aggressive you can |
| 10653s | tell because this sojourn is jumping |
| 10654s | across the map right a little less |
| 10656s | common to see that sparka loves to play |
| 10658s | aggressively and sort of throw down |
| 10660s | those disruptive shots they don't want |
| 10662s | to they don't want the shock to benefit |
| 10663s | from being in the high ground position |
| 10665s | but this could go wrong here i mean |
| 10666s | mikey able to get rid of landed there is |
| 10668s | big |
| 10669s | dawn i was going to say that could have |
| 10671s | been huge there from shacks and sparker |
| 10673s | but a few players are actually hit by |
| 10675s | the biotic grenade they're a violet and |
| 10677s | you're able to get a point flip |
| 10678s | basically instantly |
| 10680s | huge play from the ana on the shot that |
| 10682s | kind of comes from long distance |
| 10683s | connections like three players allows |
| 10685s | the shock to flip rather fast |
| 10687s | something violet's always gonna be able |
| 10688s | to provide for you we're |
| 10690s | past the lucio arc at least for the most |
| 10692s | part here |
| 10693s | mine's on the point come down |
| 10695s | hardy you know can't do too much about |
| 10697s | that so good response from mike |
| 10699s | yeah i i think hardy probably thought he |
| 10701s | was going to be able to live a little |
| 10702s | bit longer maybe the mines wouldn't come |
| 10704s | through and he would have been able to |
| 10705s | get that primal rage off |
| 10707s | extend that fight a little bit |
| 10710s | and now you start to get in dangerous |
| 10711s | territory here if you're the london |
| 10712s | spitfire |
| 10714s | 80 |
| 10715s | coming up here on the point for the |
| 10716s | shock |
| 10717s | with all the ultimates and how kind of |
| 10719s | long these fights could go with both |
| 10720s | transcendences potentially last by |
| 10722s | territory |
| 10724s | yeah this is the finesse and play we've |
| 10725s | come to expect from proper |
| 10727s | the pulse isn't going to quite connect |
| 10728s | but hey the mobility on spike a little |
| 10730s | bit hard to follow for sure again the |
| 10732s | spitfire will go aggressive they dive |
| 10734s | across the map primal rage here for |
| 10736s | hardy means fingers and careening over |
| 10738s | the edge spitfire able to flip things |
| 10740s | back despite a good start from san |
| 10742s | francisco |
| 10744s | and didn't get sent packing and he's got |
| 10746s | the transcendence oh nice play though by |
| 10748s | say i'm able to just |
| 10750s | hunt down hardy |
| 10755s | not going to happen so |
| 10757s | really good first point there from the |
| 10759s | london spitfire dominant bounce back |
| 10761s | here from the shot |
| 10762s | and i'll be honest with you some of |
| 10764s | these issues here stem from hardy's |
| 10766s | inability to be as disruptive as he was |
| 10768s | on that first map he's playing the |
| 10769s | winston you can see the spitfire are |
| 10771s | diving they're playing aggressively |
| 10772s | across the map but |
| 10774s | that sort of play they're going for you |
| 10775s | know the one with sparker is literally |
| 10777s | sort of power sliding forwards |
| 10779s | doesn't happen very often and there's a |
| 10780s | lot of round with san francisco are |
| 10782s | getting picks out of proper just playing |
| 10783s | aggressive trying to catch them on the |
| 10784s | back foot there a little bit quieter as |
| 10786s | well from backbone tough to have as much |
| 10788s | success on uh |
| 10790s | on the zenith cases like this but yeah |
| 10791s | mikey's wrecking ball definitely still |
| 10792s | something you've got to put some respect |
| 10794s | on |
| 10796s | is clean there |
| 10797s | potentially it came up to the third |
| 10800s | so it'll be london actually playing with |
| 10802s | the batiste here in the mix so |
| 10806s | this will allow them you know to use |
| 10807s | that immortality field a little bit |
| 10808s | aggressively right when they want to |
| 10810s | push |
| 10811s | behind audi and checks they can play |
| 10813s | with it or uh no allow them to not worry |
| 10816s | about as much of like peel right for |
| 10818s | their supports they're able to use it |
| 10820s | defensively and that's going to be |
| 10821s | backbone with a pick on a sam money |
| 10823s | backbone is a dps player we have now |
| 10826s | who's just been picking up the zen over |
| 10827s | the last like what two three weeks |
| 10829s | uh i mean he's gotten a few crucial |
| 10832s | kills on ruins and then starts off well |
| 10834s | here with a pick on the fin |
| 10835s | uh that's unreal especially with a point |
| 10838s | like valve you get control first you |
| 10840s | could easily run it down the distance |
| 10843s | yeah great opener there as well that |
| 10845s | first pick |
| 10846s | is what puts the spitfire in a strong |
| 10847s | position you said like they might want |
| 10849s | to avoid well but obviously they're |
| 10850s | already playing reinhardt at all this |
| 10852s | kind of map rock we've really really |
| 10853s | evolved past that period for this team |
| 10855s | so hardy goes back on that wrecking ball |
| 10857s | now |
| 10858s | that's a big zen picker now it's gonna |
| 10860s | be an ash pick |
| 10862s | just that first pick from backbone how |
| 10864s | easy it is to contest your own well uh i |
| 10867s | mean if anyone's just kind of like |
| 10869s | watching us played like a watch just in |
| 10870s | general like bob's right knows how |
| 10872s | difficult it is to flip this point back |
| 10874s | uh with heroes like tracer in the mix |
| 10877s | and wrecking ball like immortality field |
| 10880s | you can just stall this out for so long |
| 10882s | is that first pick from backbone uh |
| 10885s | it can't you can't explain how massive |
| 10887s | it is to give that early lead over to |
| 10889s | spitfire |
| 10891s | and already that lead is developing |
| 10894s | quite nicely |
| 10896s | lincoln eye and it's 47-0 |
| 10898s | jackson's pulse here perfect what a |
| 10900s | stick on finn who's been modified mostly |
| 10903s | in this round |
| 10904s | mike elise is able to find sparkle who's |
| 10906s | dead with those first picks here but |
| 10907s | shaq's still running rampant and that |
| 10909s | percentage is still of course ticking up |
| 10911s | now everybody's has to be used on mikey |
| 10913s | just to keep him in the fight that |
| 10914s | discord off really punishing him there's |
| 10916s | backbone |
| 10917s | and keeping those enemy tanks very wary |
| 10919s | and mikey doesn't even want to play |
| 10920s | aggressively with the rest of that |
| 10922s | matter well |
| 10923s | you see when mikey goes into that back |
| 10924s | corner though he's dealt with the |
| 10926s | discord orb and the immortality field |
| 10928s | and can't survive through that and look |
| 10930s | at this |
| 10930s | two fights really you know in a row |
| 10933s | where the london spitfire gets him at 80 |
| 10936s | sam's gonna go over to the sojourn now |
| 10938s | but look at i mean you have you have an |
| 10940s | ant matrix you have bob online uh you're |
| 10942s | gonna have transcendence minefield and |
| 10945s | the shock have not been able to build up |
| 10946s | towards anything this has been all |
| 10948s | london |
| 10950s | backbone doesn't matter a proper in that |
| 10952s | last fight |
| 10954s | what a weapon |
| 10956s | he is now on that set as well |
| 10958s | just another left mobile dps i guess |
| 10960s | until he does this and then he zoom in |
| 10962s | transcendence in play now we can do a |
| 10963s | little bit of mine sweeping if he so |
| 10965s | elects |
| 10966s | pressure on mike is that rick yeah okay |
| 10968s | the discordable mikey but sam's about to |
| 10969s | find a headshot crucial one of his |
| 10971s | backbones |
| 10972s | and vince gonna cross the map back to |
| 10974s | his team i don't know how he got so far |
| 10975s | away clearing some of those minds away |
| 10981s | looks like here at the end |
| 10983s | the shot gonna pull out |
| 10985s | this fight so they will flip it in their |
| 10988s | favor but they need to be perfect from |
| 10989s | here on out |
| 10991s | london just needs one fight to go their |
| 10993s | way to steal map number one |
| 10996s | shacks of the pulse bomb |
| 10998s | no support ultimate on like line like |
| 11000s | whether that's the transcendence or the |
| 11002s | nano |
| 11003s | keep anybody up through that so shax |
| 11005s | lands this big pulse bomb could be the |
| 11007s | map in favor of london |
| 11011s | perfect stick on finn |
| 11013s | he's had a couple of those |
| 11016s | pit stops he gets topped up |
| 11019s | proper constantly frustrated by this |
| 11021s | wrecking ball that seems to be in his |
| 11022s | way |
| 11025s | he needs to push through he probably |
| 11026s | needs to use the high ground to do so |
| 11028s | instead he wants to double back and put |
| 11029s | pressure on hardy you probably can just |
| 11031s | stay clear of this |
| 11032s | did you see how far back finn is playing |
| 11034s | too by the way yeah he has all the way |
| 11035s | up on the high ground back there needs |
| 11037s | to play so far back and that's a huge |
| 11039s | pick sam's able to take out sparkler |
| 11041s | what do you do here if you're london you |
| 11042s | just kind of keep growing at this |
| 11044s | you want to back out |
| 11046s | for him to get |
| 11053s | recall there from property has a pulse |
| 11054s | bomb but couldn't find a way in |
| 11056s | and this is where it begins remember |
| 11058s | it's a hard point to flip you need a |
| 11059s | decisive fight win in order to do that |
| 11063s | excuse me i'm talking here oh my god |
| 11066s | london haven't been able to do that san |
| 11068s | francisco give it up |
| 11071s | oh my god cast the curse in a half |
| 11073s | matthew |
| 11075s | that's ridiculous backbone down to finn |
| 11077s | though at least san francisco can |
| 11079s | convert on a bit of a rough start to |
| 11080s | this fight but they don't get any |
| 11082s | percentage during this time that hurts |
| 11083s | them |
| 11084s | right i was gonna say that still even |
| 11086s | with that flip for a little bit a period |
| 11088s | of time |
| 11089s | right you're gonna have 70 percent this |
| 11090s | would have been potentially the game for |
| 11093s | the shock if you're holding on there so |
| 11095s | ant matrix coming online transcendence |
| 11098s | available for finn and hottie with the |
| 11100s | minds uh how do you do this do you want |
| 11102s | to like drop a minefields in like one of |
| 11104s | like the back corners and use an ant |
| 11105s | matrix from the side kind of fires |
| 11107s | through that off angle uh it's a |
| 11109s | potential setup it's all you lose |
| 11111s | again that's two fights in a row where |
| 11113s | sam's been able to find this first pick |
| 11115s | look merritt had the same problem uh |
| 11118s | playing against the sojourners as ash |
| 11121s | you get out range by you know a charged |
| 11123s | rail |
| 11124s | another shot get back into this round |
| 11126s | this is not good for london they've |
| 11127s | gotta they've got to make a real play |
| 11129s | here now |
| 11131s | mine's |
| 11133s | he wants to wait him out he's got some |
| 11135s | of his they're gonna give the point back |
| 11136s | over again okay they contest yes they |
| 11138s | flip the ball a little flip okay the |
| 11139s | mortality field implication matrix goes |
| 11141s | up but backward a little out of position |
| 11143s | mikey though not confident enough to |
| 11144s | pressure that advantage he's playing |
| 11146s | until those mines disappear |
| 11148s | unbelievable so they're gone now boys |
| 11150s | wrecking ball ultimates two trans |
| 11152s | sentences it's been diagram of god knows |
| 11154s | what |
| 11156s | here comes hardy dropping down |
| 11159s | sam play from the middle of the map here |
| 11160s | this is whacky stuff is probably gonna |
| 11162s | have to duck back and get a health pack |
| 11163s | he's under a lot of pressure here he |
| 11164s | gets the mini but he has to recall out |
| 11165s | there's sam he strikes again san |
| 11167s | francisco |
| 11179s | why have you done this |
| 11181s | i gotta see you |
| 11183s | what is i would have to see what is |
| 11185s | going on inside of that room right now |
| 11187s | oh man what now as that |
| 11191s | if you are london that is as good of a |
| 11194s | start as you can imagine |
| 11197s | everybody leaves the point but honestly |
| 11200s | the shock had done that like a few times |
| 11202s | right just loud london just flipped the |
| 11204s | point uh out of nowhere |
| 11206s | this time they let them flip it but they |
| 11208s | just never get back on |
| 11209s | get this off my screen immediately |
| 11213s | we're gonna go to a prey we'll be like |
| 11214s | mac to |
| 11216s | a breather |

| 11406s | do |
| 11413s | [Music] |
| 11452s | all right everybody for the honorable |
| 11454s | charles ninth of his name what's how |
| 11457s | does this happen an agreement is c9 |
| 11462s | tell me proper gets forced off yeah |
| 11465s | so there's the kill right it happens a |
| 11467s | little bit after this so mikey runs |
| 11470s | and |
| 11472s | he goes to the point |
| 11476s | about london like like they just like |
| 11478s | the fist bumps like yeah nice job guys |
| 11481s | like |
| 11483s | oh god i got all these phrases running |
| 11486s | through my head i'm like i'm not allowed |
| 11487s | to say any of these words |
| 11489s | it's like it's like a real air wheel and |
| 11492s | everything is like blurred out and it's |
| 11493s | gonna stop on something i've tried |
| 11499s | i'm sure griffin's got it like you uh |
| 11501s | you pull the little tab and the wheel |
| 11503s | goes around it's an animal noise but in |
| 11504s | your head it's just a phrase that you |
| 11506s | can't say oh are you the best part is |
| 11509s | the best part is that happens c9 is in |
| 11512s | the chat |
| 11513s | well okay then backbone times zen gap |
| 11515s | just |
| 11516s | just deleted |
| 11518s | what you did oh that's really funny um |
| 11521s | but |
| 11522s | like there were a few times where the |
| 11524s | shock just gave that point up uh |
| 11526s | collusion coming in from mikey here uh |
| 11528s | for map number two but there are like we |
| 11530s | talked about how difficult that point is |
| 11532s | usually to flip there are a few times |
| 11533s | where the shock they would get that |
| 11534s | first pick and then somehow london was |
| 11536s | able to flip um |
| 11537s | you just didn't expect it i mean when |
| 11540s | that fight kicks off |
| 11542s | the chakra in control of the point |
| 11545s | london flip it through that right |
| 11549s | and then |
| 11550s | the shot get off the point uh |
| 11553s | maybe maybe the shocker are unaware that |
| 11555s | london had flipped the points in their |
| 11557s | favor at that time i i don't know |
| 11560s | it'll be like involved here for map |
| 11561s | number two it was flipping back and |
| 11562s | forth and i've been saying i'm the |
| 11564s | caster cursor which is fine but you're |
| 11566s | the one that i'm just quoting you saying |
| 11567s | like it is hard to flip that point back |
| 11569s | right you said it right at the start of |
| 11570s | the round obviously because you have |
| 11572s | such mobile comps that are great at sort |
| 11573s | of stalling or keeping it over time |
| 11575s | going right you are you are correct |
| 11577s | there we i need to |
| 11579s | describe i will accept a lobotomy if it |
| 11581s | helps me forget about that one moment |
| 11583s | yeah i'll take like i'll buy the whole |
| 11585s | farm |
| 11586s | we need to move on to ikevolt here is uh |
| 11589s | there are high places for the shock to |
| 11590s | throw themselves off if they don't want |
| 11592s | to touch the point again that's their |
| 11593s | business uh but again um this is the |
| 11595s | peak of san francisco here |
| 11597s | uh london though have shown us that |
| 11599s | they've they've played russia on this |
| 11601s | map before uh on the attacking side |
| 11603s | winston-based defense though for the |
| 11605s | spitfire |
| 11606s | hello |
| 11608s | no |
| 11609s | it'll be uh |
| 11611s | it'll be another interesting map as |
| 11614s | you pick this map not great for |
| 11616s | reinhardt but |
| 11618s | london just squeaked out a win without |
| 11619s | having to play it uh we saw a backbone |
| 11622s | in here on the zen |
| 11624s | um we're just going to barely have to |
| 11626s | play yeah |
| 11628s | okay yes yes uh so we have cena at |
| 11630s | college play the diva |
| 11632s | which he didn't mention he thought was |
| 11633s | actually pretty strong uh |
| 11642s | and then they played it against a |
| 11643s | winston base okay so interesting maybe |
| 11645s | they kind of feel that the diva a bit |
| 11647s | stronger |
| 11648s | which is something that |
| 11649s | you know hardy probably doesn't have in |
| 11651s | his |
| 11652s | uh kind of hero so this is happening |
| 11654s | also in |
| 11655s | in the eastern region |
| 11657s | san francisco not the only team to do |
| 11659s | this |
| 11659s | but it's interesting because it's really |
| 11661s | slow and you don't always think slow |
| 11663s | because diva was a direct hero of |
| 11664s | albright but a role in this sort of team |
| 11667s | it's different it's so clear oriented |
| 11669s | it's like let's take incremental |
| 11671s | advantage it's kind of like the saga |
| 11672s | comp we saw from the outlaws in the |
| 11674s | previous map and look at it whether we |
| 11675s | back away we try and poke we try and |
| 11677s | work our way up sam finds a peak and now |
| 11679s | it's on for young and all this |
| 11680s | divacomp's really interesting and the |
| 11682s | shots are good at making it work |
| 11684s | yeah i gotta say you know sam has been |
| 11686s | able to get a lot of early kills in some |
| 11689s | of these fights they just have not been |
| 11690s | able to capitalize just yet is |
| 11693s | he comes across disruptive shot trying |
| 11695s | to force backbone out and oh point gets |
| 11698s | really close to going in favor |
| 11700s | to the shock and there goes so point a |
| 11703s | in favor of the shock |
| 11704s | relatively painless |
| 11707s | yeah and look pretty slow and steady |
| 11708s | again it's that first pick right the |
| 11710s | difference between sam on |
| 11712s | uh you know i think what we see him |
| 11713s | trying to play hanzo of course on elios |
| 11715s | here when he switched over towards the |
| 11717s | socho man he was really punishing |
| 11719s | sparker uh a lot of the time definitely |
| 11721s | seems to be a stronger pick for him |
| 11724s | yes uh collusion will have to |
| 11726s | jump off the side here reset get a mech |
| 11728s | this allow |
| 11729s | london maybe uh push up a little bit |
| 11731s | further i wonder what their answer to |
| 11733s | this would be |
| 11734s | like and maybe you can't really switch |
| 11737s | off of anything |
| 11739s | until the end because you need a hero |
| 11741s | who can kind of challenge high ground |
| 11743s | right well |
| 11744s | you want it you need to put collusion in |
| 11745s | the position where you can't peel |
| 11746s | effectively um a little hard to do |
| 11749s | but it might mean you need point three |
| 11752s | point three you can maybe play like a |
| 11753s | reinhardt right you know when you're |
| 11755s | inside and there's not a lot of |
| 11756s | verticality needed and play really close |
| 11758s | damn |
| 11760s | that's a possibility but london are |
| 11762s | trying to figure this out uh it's slow |
| 11764s | though they don't really know what to do |
| 11765s | so okay so clue's not appealing right |
| 11767s | now but his team says we're fine it's |
| 11769s | just a primal winston we have like an |
| 11770s | immortality field and proper is starting |
| 11772s | to go to work big time so |
| 11774s | by the way moving this entire time |
| 11777s | yes london still moving right on in |
| 11779s | that'll be |
| 11780s | transcendence has traded out on both |
| 11782s | sides wow |
| 11785s | you could tell london felt desperate for |
| 11787s | a fight win there |
| 11789s | now they're not able to do so is hottie |
| 11791s | do you even try and give him the nano |
| 11793s | and fight this now you back out it's |
| 11795s | right move here but man |
| 11796s | lightning fast pace set currently by the |
| 11799s | shock yeah san francisco play like a 45 |
| 11802s | and they actually come out on top it's |
| 11803s | got a lot to do with proper finding |
| 11804s | those kills earlier on there but london |
| 11806s | get one |
| 11807s | one fight for that whole phase of the |
| 11809s | map because college is flying first |
| 11812s | class to |
| 11813s | stage three sat on that car |
| 11816s | back but they the first kill did that a |
| 11818s | few times on illios so |
| 11821s | that all force |
| 11823s | shot back a bit it's gonna be the |
| 11824s | hardest part of the map to kind of |
| 11827s | deal with though right you would think |
| 11828s | uh if you're the shock to make work so |
| 11831s | that'll be another pick here in favor of |
| 11833s | the spitfire where maybe the spitfire |
| 11834s | can put up a huge defense here right |
| 11837s | yeah first of all like one minute |
| 11839s | but you can't cross the bridge slow so |
| 11841s | if the spitfire get into a position like |
| 11842s | this right where they can punish people |
| 11844s | coming out of spawn that's pretty |
| 11845s | powerful for them |
| 11846s | but you know and once kalooz goes |
| 11848s | forward here it's a question of |
| 11850s | can i keep tabs on their winston because |
| 11852s | as soon as i dive there's going to be |
| 11853s | some counter diving we need to make sure |
| 11854s | we can win out in that scenario nicely |
| 11856s | done from senior blown back |
| 11858s | pogba is down |
| 11864s | and they end up using the overclock here |
| 11866s | so maybe this just buys a little bit of |
| 11867s | space |
| 11868s | but that's going to be a nano on the |
| 11869s | hardy and he's just going to push sam |
| 11871s | back it allows the shock to advance in a |
| 11873s | 4b5 and prop is now back in the fight |
| 11875s | because he's on tracer so i don't hate |
| 11876s | that |
| 11877s | i see kalooz has to yeah okay goes for |
| 11879s | self-destruct there proper gets the |
| 11880s | stick clues just gets removed killed out |
| 11883s | of mech there so |
| 11885s | maybe we see a switch here from them now |
| 11887s | i wonder if that stick was actually |
| 11888s | meant for uh backbone but it ended up |
| 11891s | landing right on top of uh shacks it |
| 11893s | looks like they were like kind of right |
| 11894s | on top of each other as uh like every |
| 11896s | concept you don't complain i think we're |
| 11898s | gonna see uh i think we're gonna see |
| 11899s | reinhardt here |
| 11901s | this is kind of what i thought would |
| 11903s | happen maybe on this part of the map but |
| 11904s | oh no |
| 11907s | okay it's a wrecking ball so gonna play |
| 11909s | the wrecking ball against the sigma |
| 11912s | potentially you could have played the |
| 11914s | winston still right i mean |
| 11919s | yeah playing with the ball so hard not |
| 11921s | what you can do if you miss that |
| 11922s | accretion which you probably will |
| 11924s | because ball is |
| 11925s | you know really mobile then you don't |
| 11927s | have a whole lot to interact with it |
| 11929s | you know you can be waiting for the end |
| 11930s | of a long corridor that also will help |
| 11933s | i was gonna say collusion's very good on |
| 11936s | the scene so he says he's the world's |
| 11938s | best signal he truly believes that so no |
| 11940s | word of a lie from the man so far he's |
| 11942s | living up to it |
| 11946s | i don't know how landon is able to stay |
| 11948s | alive through that by the way like he's |
| 11950s | like the only player for london alive |
| 11952s | for a period of time |
| 11954s | uh and able to get out with his life |
| 11957s | backbone with a orb on him the entire |
| 11959s | time |
| 11960s | yeah it looked like he started it was |
| 11961s | only collusion pressuring him as well |
| 11962s | down he's not hitting a lot of those |
| 11963s | hypospheres in that angle so |
| 11966s | this started with four minutes and 30 on |
| 11968s | the clock |
| 11969s | even a little bit higher |
| 11974s | my god |
| 11975s | beautiful open to that fight now san |
| 11976s | francisco are called well and truly an |
| 11978s | enemy territory with no hope of escape |
| 11981s | hardy can't outlast the hypospheres but |
| 11983s | again it will be a cleaner |
| 11986s | dude if london is able to stop them from |
| 11988s | completing their marriage |
| 11990s | there's no way that is a massive dub |
| 11994s | an insane dub uh considering that you |
| 11997s | got here with a few minutes of the clock |
| 11999s | sam has |
| 12000s | done a nice job since switching over to |
| 12002s | the sojourn that's another pick early on |
| 12005s | so you're gonna need backbone back up if |
| 12007s | you're london because you have |
| 12009s | the gravity flux coming online |
| 12011s | you have matrix here too |
| 12013s | lots of abilities the shock you dump a |
| 12016s | lot of ultimately this and you're not |
| 12017s | able to take it you may be in some |
| 12018s | trouble |
| 12021s | jax oh we really tried to confirm that |
| 12023s | pulse kill he waited like a moment extra |
| 12026s | and sam just ripped him a into one i |
| 12027s | cannot believe that |
| 12029s | like a powerpoint level |
| 12032s | did he not get the flux off because of |
| 12034s | the uh the shot that came through he got |
| 12036s | he got brought down before he could get |
| 12037s | the second part of that off sam had a |
| 12039s | discord all plus ant matrix so he just |
| 12041s | insta kills like a full health wrecking |
| 12042s | ball it's kind of scary but losing your |
| 12044s | sigma here it's bad news colluge he's |
| 12047s | back to the drawing board |
| 12049s | and they don't even have to use the |
| 12051s | transcendence because |
| 12052s | the gravity blocks doesn't come down so |
| 12055s | colluge is going to go back to sigma |
| 12057s | they'll take a look at this from |
| 12058s | sparker's pov |
| 12062s | oh he tries to actually get behind the |
| 12063s | payload and use his cover but he's up on |
| 12065s | the high ground |
| 12066s | his body back to winston now |
| 12069s | toulouse takes a |
| 12071s | ton of damage he was actually |
| 12072s | considering the doomfist there he |
| 12073s | switched for a moment back to the sigma |
| 12075s | doesn't lose any alt charge obviously |
| 12076s | he's |
| 12077s | died during one |
| 12080s | free charge for sparker bear that in |
| 12082s | mind very easy for these rails to be |
| 12083s | developed |
| 12086s | and there's an overclock shot kept |
| 12087s | scaring four minutes plus four minutes |
| 12090s | 50 man four minutes 50. |
| 12094s | what can they do sparker |
| 12097s | haggard looking rails there |
| 12100s | they forced out the transcendence on |
| 12101s | finn but he actually just kind of like |
| 12103s | guides propper in when they got out |
| 12104s | maneuvered there big time though proper |
| 12106s | and collusion was collapsed over that |
| 12107s | back line |
| 12108s | backbone still alive in fairness but a |
| 12110s | pulse here from proper should steal the |
| 12112s | deal |
| 12113s | ah well that was not good |
| 12116s | still been going down now backbone |
| 12118s | finally falling the lanes back in the |
| 12119s | fight he has a nanoboost as well that's |
| 12120s | for hardy straight away pressure on land |
| 12122s | and they're going after him here but |
| 12124s | hardy can stall all he's trying to do is |
| 12126s | buy a little bit of time glue's not the |
| 12128s | best |
| 12129s | primer he can't get there he can't make |
| 12131s | it sam finds two beautiful rails on that |
| 12133s | should put this one to bed |
| 12134s | [Music] |
| 12135s | still they got it from almost five |
| 12137s | minutes down to completing the map with |
| 12140s | no time in the bank |
| 12142s | uh you know london |
| 12144s | pretty terrible defense on point a and |
| 12146s | point b yeah i mean just kind of call it |
| 12148s | as it is but |
| 12150s | i mean once we got here towards the end |
| 12151s | which was i kind of where i thought they |
| 12153s | would put up their best stand i didn't |
| 12154s | think it would be this good though |
| 12156s | uh |
| 12157s | depletes your entire time bank it's huge |
| 12159s | i mean if you're in london now you kind |
| 12161s | of talk like yes serious chance to win |
| 12162s | this map right finish with some time in |
| 12164s | the bank uh |
| 12166s | then you have an opportunity to |
| 12167s | potentially |
| 12169s | well worst case draw right |
| 12172s | uh you can find yourself up to oh |
| 12173s | potentially |
| 12175s | i want to see what the defensive tank is |
| 12176s | here for san francisco |
| 12178s | because again uh the gladiators were |
| 12181s | able to turn around and put on great |
| 12182s | defenses to win you know those maps |
| 12184s | where they didn't quite finish or or |
| 12186s | what have you the dvd here for college |
| 12188s | really insistent now |
| 12191s | on i get it on point b right it's |
| 12193s | fantastic for sort of traversing this |
| 12194s | sort of low to high ground what do you |
| 12196s | think about defensive diva here on point |
| 12198s | a |
| 12200s | so i think the diva like you mentioned |
| 12202s | offers a lot of really good like |
| 12204s | uh peel oriented solutions right with |
| 12207s | the defense matrix i also think if |
| 12209s | they're going to play this kind of |
| 12210s | composition |
| 12212s | and maybe dive and split a little bit |
| 12214s | the diva is as good of any hero and like |
| 12217s | one-on-one even one-on-two scenarios |
| 12219s | he's a consummate artist |
| 12221s | right so like you know they leave the |
| 12223s | back uh back line open like you don't |
| 12224s | even need like proper there you probably |
| 12226s | just do it yourself on the diva |
| 12230s | the only one that could really test her |
| 12231s | maybe is you know we see jump between |
| 12234s | she obviously cracked duel as to herself |
| 12237s | what about my man reinhardt yours all |
| 12240s | right here we go finally daddy coming to |
| 12242s | town the p give the people what they |
| 12243s | want party knows how to entertain |
| 12247s | up against the diva |
| 12248s | who feels not too shabby |
| 12252s | said you were expecting it maybe you're |
| 12253s | like defense third |
| 12255s | didn't come out yeah that's kind of |
| 12256s | where i thought |
| 12257s | but here it allows you to move up like |
| 12260s | behind him right and it gives protection |
| 12261s | to land and playing for the computer |
| 12262s | shop over there |
| 12264s | yeah i just think there's too much |
| 12265s | verticality uh especially when you get |
| 12267s | towards that second point but |
| 12269s | it possibly can make it work here but i |
| 12271s | mean it gets a burnt down so fast |
| 12275s | and so often i think that san francisco |
| 12276s | almost want london to play that way uh |
| 12278s | the sort of lack of mobility is |
| 12279s | something that proper is like really |
| 12281s | well equipped to exploit |
| 12283s | hello |
| 12284s | yeah and just so much damage coming in |
| 12286s | from finn violet on the batiste and then |
| 12289s | diva does a decent damage to shields too |
| 12291s | right just a lot of damage coming out |
| 12293s | yeah one one try on the reinhardt and |
| 12296s | we're gonna switch right off |
| 12298s | so i think this is the the bat this is |
| 12300s | about the probably the narrative about |
| 12301s | you know spitfire being this reinhardt |
| 12303s | team this rush team only probably needs |
| 12305s | to go away like |
| 12306s | i've seen the wrecking ball the winston |
| 12308s | from hardy |
| 12309s | all really solid the only thing that |
| 12311s | don't really see probably this is like |
| 12312s | their doomfist diva looks |
| 12315s | yeah it's really about it |
| 12317s | kind of see everything else |
| 12319s | gotta be careful approaching sam and |
| 12320s | that rail gun charged up he's been |
| 12322s | hitting quite a few in this series as |
| 12325s | far as |
| 12327s | profits just a constant uses |
| 12332s | only wrap here yeah without all the |
| 12334s | harmony that's a stick though for shacks |
| 12335s | beautiful one sam's now been taken out |
| 12337s | of the picture good on shaq |
| 12339s | custer calls him such an aggressive |
| 12341s | tracer and he's not wrong but man he |
| 12343s | really knew how to approach that very |
| 12344s | dangerous situation going up against |
| 12346s | sojourn proper violence trying to fail |
| 12348s | the san francisco shock out of it |
| 12350s | collusion still alive with a |
| 12351s | self-destruct no less |
| 12353s | they can do this |
| 12356s | oh let's see he's still on proper he's |
| 12358s | trying to put pressure on the sparker |
| 12360s | that's collusion this will be the |
| 12362s | self-destruct you're gonna get some |
| 12363s | players back off the spawn here too |
| 12365s | he had no healers so he has to hope that |
| 12367s | he doesn't get killed outside of mecca |
| 12369s | with that self-destruct that's enough |
| 12370s | time he's actually bought enough time |
| 12372s | now for the shock to get back with all |
| 12374s | their players damn |
| 12377s | is it enough though you're gonna have an |
| 12378s | overclock coming out here so they have |
| 12381s | to track proppers same with another pick |
| 12383s | man yeah they asked for that though i |
| 12385s | mean all of the spitfire play inside |
| 12386s | that room maybe because it's like an |
| 12388s | anti-proper approach but they they get |
| 12390s | hosed down by that disrupter shot and |
| 12392s | sam finds another one sam on the sojourn |
| 12395s | that's big ups for me fantastic play so |
| 12397s | far the series |
| 12399s | yeah it looks really clean thus far is |
| 12402s | you also know how flexible he is like if |
| 12404s | they needed to switch to something else |
| 12406s | people just jump on it on the fly so |
| 12408s | london with four ultimates coming in |
| 12410s | here |
| 12411s | shocked with a very good defense thus |
| 12413s | far |
| 12416s | can can london break this he talked |
| 12418s | about how good their defense was at the |
| 12419s | end no their offense not looking too |
| 12421s | hard currently ah |
| 12424s | mortality field used there early to stop |
| 12425s | the shot to the high ground to deny |
| 12427s | violent that perch and look now okay |
| 12429s | sparkle forcing inside that disruptive |
| 12431s | shot i love that he follows it up by |
| 12432s | flanking |
| 12434s | talk about follow-up there's more where |
| 12435s | that came from sam has failed and the |
| 12437s | spitfire looks like they're going to |
| 12438s | break through here on defense now |
| 12440s | columbus doesn't have a self-destruct to |
| 12441s | rely on |
| 12442s | the shock are evicted |
| 12446s | it's not enough time though man |
| 12448s | you kind of think about like the game |
| 12450s | kind of working backwards from this |
| 12451s | point right |
| 12453s | now two minutes and 40 seconds to push |
| 12455s | basically from point a all the way |
| 12457s | through |
| 12458s | uh to point b |
| 12460s | kind of what's your time bonus in that |
| 12462s | capacity you put yourself in a situation |
| 12464s | where you probably don't finish with |
| 12467s | like enough time to to make it really |
| 12469s | impactful kind of your defensive stand i |
| 12471s | mean all you do is finish right get a |
| 12474s | get a run back an ot |
| 12475s | a minute each see what happens |
| 12479s | not bad considering how badly things |
| 12480s | went for london on that attack the last |
| 12482s | phasing last round |
| 12485s | finishing as the goal here |
| 12488s | landed on very wary of profit what a |
| 12490s | rough match up for him |
| 12492s | fun having to deal with that but |
| 12493s | obviously backbone is always going to be |
| 12495s | on the scene as well |
| 12496s | at his strength |
| 12500s | all right he's a disruptive shot high |
| 12501s | ground now air matrix makes this awkward |
| 12503s | but the spitfire have navigated it with |
| 12505s | a lot of finesse actually kaloush |
| 12507s | finally shows us a bit of those dive |
| 12509s | chops as he descends on sparker |
| 12511s | and there's sam you can count on him |
| 12512s | backbone is reduced to scrap metal by |
| 12514s | that rail |
| 12517s | so we |
| 12522s | going to just get a new mech back |
| 12526s | you know that was kind of uh you look at |
| 12528s | it from london's pov you really needed |
| 12530s | to win that fight and keep this cart |
| 12531s | going because |
| 12533s | this is where you're gonna have to like |
| 12534s | make up that time towards the end of the |
| 12536s | map right so to lose some fights here |
| 12538s | you know have these fights drag out it's |
| 12540s | like worst case scenario |
| 12542s | that's a back breaker momentum here |
| 12544s | london started this fight on the right |
| 12546s | foot here look at that oh look at that |
| 12548s | it will tell you good across the map |
| 12549s | kalu still has to concede the mech |
| 12552s | though |
| 12553s | london should be able to clean up here |
| 12555s | but again it looks like a good good |
| 12556s | minute here to start with |
| 12558s | they're in a precarious position still |
| 12561s | it's all on the table for them here they |
| 12562s | can't finish this next phase with a good |
| 12564s | next fight but kills like that you can't |
| 12566s | afford shaq's again goes down to sam |
| 12570s | yeah you just can't trade these kills |
| 12572s | and just have these fights go long at |
| 12573s | this time of the game because the shock |
| 12575s | just playing the clock |
| 12578s | sam |
| 12579s | gonna get hunted down which is a big |
| 12581s | hill but look there's players on the |
| 12582s | payload |
| 12583s | moving time going off the clock yeah |
| 12587s | yeah i mean the shopkins want to put |
| 12588s | london in an overtime scenario here |
| 12591s | and then we'll do that 20 seconds left |
| 12593s | in the round by the time the card gets |
| 12595s | to the doors we'll be at zero |
| 12600s | you got some ultimates to deal with the |
| 12602s | shock they don't have to feel like |
| 12603s | compelled to win the game here right |
| 12605s | they get hold they want it they've done |
| 12607s | enough right they're dwindling some of |
| 12609s | this clock |
| 12610s | that's huge |
| 12612s | sam down early in the fight sleeping |
| 12614s | hardy doesn't doesn't follow him too |
| 12615s | much so i think but it's gonna be trader |
| 12617s | jacks goes down again shaq's has been |
| 12619s | almost invisible so far in this round |
| 12621s | sparkle though at least is stepping into |
| 12623s | those shoes matt he said it was looking |
| 12625s | dicey for the london spitfire but now |
| 12626s | they've got a real chance he can have a |
| 12628s | real crack at this with the minefield |
| 12630s | making it impossible almost to contest |
| 12633s | they're gonna get there |
| 12635s | well especially because san francisco |
| 12636s | felt it was |
| 12638s | important enough to invest some |
| 12639s | ultimates into that fight so |
| 12642s | sam's got that overclocked but that's it |
| 12644s | at this moment so |
| 12646s | kind of like a little bit of a puncher's |
| 12647s | chance here if you're in london to |
| 12648s | finish the map with a little bit of time |
| 12652s | one minute ten and counting |
| 12655s | overclock here for sam and sparker |
| 12657s | so expect a little bit of volatility |
| 12659s | here with both sojourns reaching for |
| 12661s | those ultimates |
| 12663s | tell you what though that could be the |
| 12664s | game right if you're sparker and you pop |
| 12666s | in silver clock and you get a kill or |
| 12671s | that would be huge two gonna pop it |
| 12672s | straight away always the aggressor this |
| 12674s | sparkle |
| 12676s | the car will proceed here san francisco |
| 12678s | respects the soldier and ultimately i'm |
| 12680s | gonna fight one of his own though that |
| 12681s | one praises sparker but definitely puts |
| 12683s | the fear of god in him and someone |
| 12685s | should as pop was able to make the dive |
| 12687s | on the backbone there colludes leading |
| 12689s | the way |
| 12690s | san francisco putting the spitfire in |
| 12691s | last fight territory |
| 12694s | yes they push up they really wanted this |
| 12696s | kill on hardy but |
| 12698s | not gonna find it self-destruct here to |
| 12700s | clean off the car also a second life |
| 12703s | fantastic to be able to stall this out |
| 12705s | in this scenario |
| 12706s | this cart moving in the wrong direction |
| 12709s | for the london spitfires |
| 12711s | have one last shot of this |
| 12714s | with a minefield available again |
| 12716s | one fight to build that up |
| 12718s | commendable indeed |
| 12721s | [Music] |
| 12723s | again respectful distance being offered |
| 12724s | now trying to stay out of line of sight |
| 12725s | as much as he can there's that minefield |
| 12727s | and here comes jacks to ship with the |
| 12729s | cart forward |
| 12731s | proper has a pulse from here to look to |
| 12733s | end it |
| 12734s | jax needs a connection but sparker finds |
| 12736s | it first and there it is both sojourns |
| 12738s | getting headshots off the rails shacks |
| 12741s | is just struggling but it may not matter |
| 12742s | here self-destruct from colluge disrupt |
| 12745s | the shot thrown on the card hardy wasn't |
| 12746s | expecting to get caught by that at all i |
| 12748s | think that was a miscalculation and it's |
| 12750s | cost him the map |
| 12753s | i think it would have been difficult |
| 12754s | either way but honey looks like rolls to |
| 12756s | the opposite side of the cart the |
| 12758s | self-destruct damage still connects on |
| 12760s | him |
| 12761s | takes him out and that's a shock |
| 12763s | battling back and taking our second map |
| 12765s | where |
| 12767s | you know it was pretty easy for them on |
| 12769s | offense up until the end london put |
| 12770s | together a fantastic defense uh london |
| 12773s | just |
| 12774s | too slow to get anything going on |
| 12775s | offense yeah straight up though this |
| 12777s | feels more like you know |
| 12779s | texas shock than it was this online team |
| 12782s | right that's kind of the issue it's an |
| 12783s | unbesmerged record in online play but |
| 12786s | when it gets to the in person stop the |
| 12787s | face-to-face these guys look a little |
| 12789s | bit shaky san francisco look to bolster |
| 12792s | themselves heading now into the break |
| 12794s | it's one apiece in this series this |
| 12796s | one's heating up |
| 12811s | [Music] |
| 12916s | [Music] |
| 12942s | [Music] |
| 12970s | so |
| 12977s | [Music] |
| 12984s | [Music] |
| 12993s | [Music] |
| 13004s | [Music] |
| 13023s | [Applause] |
| 13026s | whoever said lightning doesn't strike |
| 13028s | twice has never met the san francisco |
| 13030s | shot |
| 13034s | it's on the most hardcore carry |
| 13036s | performances that i've ever seen just |
| 13037s | the depth of talent on their roster that |
| 13040s | can't be denied i mean what more could |
| 13041s | you ask in the shot this is going to be |
| 13043s | a wild ride |
| 13045s | [Music] |
| 13046s | pilot is cracked he's out of his mind |
| 13049s | i say that justice okay |
| 13052s | tasted everything right now she's free |
| 13057s | deadlifting right now actually |
| 13060s | tennis is doing so much cleans it up |
| 13061s | like dps |
| 13063s | san francisco has cemented themselves as |
| 13065s | the greatest team in overwatch |
| 13071s | well the mid-season madness legendary |
| 13073s | skin sure got the royal treatment it's |
| 13075s | royal night mercy on sale now through |
| 13078s | august 19th for just 200 league tokens |
| 13082s | so get yours today mercy blessed um with |
| 13086s | a plethora of just really dope skits |
| 13088s | this is definitely a chief among them so |
| 13091s | get your hands on this one |
| 13093s | before she runs out of the store |
| 13096s | yeah i might even play murder no you |
| 13098s | won't don't |
| 13099s | no you won't i mean i appreciate the |
| 13101s | center but at least i'd be more inclined |
| 13103s | to having the skin |
| 13105s | i would |
| 13108s | bro you're actually you're never going |
| 13110s | to play i'm i'm sorry she's got unreal |
| 13112s | skins anyway london spitfire |
| 13115s | look a little well rough around the |
| 13117s | edges i think you're on archival right |
| 13118s | it's a san francisco map pick um look |
| 13121s | london have a pretty abysmal defense |
| 13124s | uh you know san francisco definitely |
| 13125s | sort of punished them they pushed a long |
| 13127s | way through the map but uh san francisco |
| 13130s | got a hand into them they really dug |
| 13131s | deep in that in that map and |
| 13133s | again they're going to need more of |
| 13134s | these tough fort wins if they're going |
| 13135s | to take this series away because london |
| 13137s | mean business |
| 13138s | yup no subs here for london spitfire so |
| 13141s | we still got backbone in is uh he's |
| 13144s | unfortunately played himself into the uh |
| 13146s | full-time zen |
| 13147s | uh he's been really good on the hero so |
| 13151s | he'll end up staying in uh playing the |
| 13153s | zen uh and he will have kilo coming in |
| 13155s | for sam which i thought sam was actually |
| 13157s | playing quite good uh you know sam uh |
| 13160s | had some moments i think like on echo |
| 13161s | but really is so jordan like was where |
| 13163s | he was like picking up tons of uh early |
| 13165s | kills so |
| 13166s | uh we'll see how uh kilo fits into the |
| 13169s | lineup we know how talented he is uh |
| 13171s | it's london's pick |
| 13173s | they're gonna take us to route 66 which |
| 13176s | uh |
| 13177s | i think has loads of interesting |
| 13179s | possibilities right um |
| 13181s | there's some high ground |
| 13182s | areas to potentially play like some |
| 13184s | winston or wrecking ball type stuff if |
| 13186s | you wanted to if you're in london |
| 13188s | i also think like first point right you |
| 13189s | can play that reinhardt at that corner |
| 13191s | if you wanted to so uh we'll see which |
| 13193s | way they go with what they're gonna run |
| 13196s | i get on the side of san francisco right |
| 13198s | we've seen plenty of teams double with |
| 13200s | the sigma uh wrecking ball as well on |
| 13202s | this map i think but fuel were the first |
| 13204s | team to sort of show us that uh in this |
| 13206s | particular stage big shout out to proper |
| 13208s | had a fantastic uh map on ikevolt then |
| 13211s | we'll get to rehash those stats later on |
| 13213s | with the crew in the truck and do it for |
| 13214s | us but yeah huge stand out there for the |
| 13216s | shock and they're gonna need to keep |
| 13217s | leveraging him i think if they're gonna |
| 13219s | take this series away |
| 13221s | so there's a london spitfire selection |
| 13223s | here for route 66 |
| 13225s | and again we are definitely waiting with |
| 13227s | baited breath to see what they select |
| 13228s | they'll be attacking first |
| 13231s | i i also think this is quite big because |
| 13234s | like |
| 13234s | either of the push maps you can probably |
| 13238s | like make work with london ideally would |
| 13240s | want to play right uh whether it be |
| 13243s | coliseum or |
| 13244s | uh new queen street so |
| 13247s | winning uh winning here would be huge |
| 13248s | for london right they put themselves on |
| 13250s | match point and then give the shock you |
| 13253s | know not the best of options to have to |
| 13254s | pick from |
| 13255s | uh in terms of like how strong a |
| 13258s | uh map could be in their favor but looks |
| 13261s | like shocked they're gonna come out on |
| 13262s | defense they're gonna play the diva here |
| 13265s | still on the diva okay |
| 13268s | colluge obviously |
| 13270s | really no stranger to this role not just |
| 13272s | you know on this team but |
| 13274s | in his past experience |
| 13276s | for london though |
| 13278s | wrecking ball seems fine here a lot of |
| 13279s | teams have really been able to get a lot |
| 13280s | of value out of the disruption it also |
| 13283s | it tends to create a lot of safe zones |
| 13285s | for your widowmaker to play a little bit |
| 13286s | more aggressively |
| 13288s | see what hardy lands on here |
| 13291s | wrecking ball again just the ticket |
| 13295s | we'll see if they stick on the wrecking |
| 13296s | ball when they see the diva on the other |
| 13298s | side like how you mentioned uh |
| 13300s | and we've seen like diva |
| 13303s | been played a bit |
| 13304s | uh in the apac region not as much in the |
| 13307s | west yeah so |
| 13309s | it's just these they've seen really |
| 13311s | really yeah the shock have played it and |
| 13313s | that's really about it so |
| 13315s | maybe this is something the shark |
| 13316s | realized like hey you know this diva |
| 13318s | composition could be really good against |
| 13320s | i know whether it's a wrecking ball |
| 13322s | whether it's against like |
| 13323s | reinhardt-based stuff can really give |
| 13325s | some problems to other teams |
| 13328s | hardy takes a straight run of the high |
| 13329s | ground there nobody q juicy for san |
| 13331s | francisco obviously buyer and collusion |
| 13333s | very quickly get back up so |
| 13336s | not too bothered about wrecking ball |
| 13337s | knocking them away they are trying to |
| 13339s | chase hardy down with that discord all |
| 13340s | but |
| 13341s | it's it's it's annoying because you need |
| 13343s | to keep chasing that wrecking ball with |
| 13345s | intent you can kill him but it's very |
| 13347s | hard to do especially if he snaps up |
| 13349s | that mega health pack in the cage |
| 13352s | eyes on hardy's routes here but kilos |
| 13354s | comes in for this map right already |
| 13356s | makes a big |
| 13357s | impact yes that's going to be a first |
| 13360s | kill there on that backbone is |
| 13363s | no real help for backbone to try and get |
| 13365s | through |
| 13366s | that choke of the map so |
| 13368s | he's going to fall and you're going to a |
| 13370s | few players for london here caught a |
| 13372s | really awkward spot as landon's gonna |
| 13374s | drop immortality feel that ain't gonna |
| 13375s | help him that's a real stagger in there |
| 13379s | okay again |
| 13380s | they get something for a killer goes |
| 13382s | down at the very least here but san |
| 13384s | francisco that fight gets dragged out so |
| 13386s | much that you know violet's able to |
| 13387s | build into this ant matrix here proper |
| 13390s | and shacks are in step in terms of their |
| 13391s | ultimate economy though |
| 13393s | yeah london's going to win for just |
| 13396s | it didn't go for so long |
| 13399s | yeah just players split off to the side |
| 13401s | and |
| 13402s | yeah i mean that could be really |
| 13403s | detrimental to london is uh they do make |
| 13405s | some payload progress but |
| 13407s | they have high ground not a ton |
| 13409s | yeah |
| 13411s | that's |
| 13412s | really important actually jack's |
| 13414s | recalling out there all the discord came |
| 13416s | in from finn |
| 13417s | here's that air matrix in the low ground |
| 13419s | san francisco trying to play nice and |
| 13420s | compact and can they get rid of sparker |
| 13422s | i want you to do that there was |
| 13424s | definitely an outmatrix involved in that |
| 13425s | elimination kilo wants to play around it |
| 13427s | as well but shax is just so hard to |
| 13429s | catch him i'm not even sure if that was |
| 13431s | a stick either way shaq's punishes the |
| 13433s | shot for playing so closer together like |
| 13435s | sardines in a tin |
| 13436s | gets the puff bomb kill |
| 13439s | on that land we got really low a lot it |
| 13440s | looked like hardy |
| 13442s | out of the way and |
| 13444s | self shocked over the top of the |
| 13445s | transcendence gonna keep everybody up i |
| 13447s | don't know if they know where proper is |
| 13448s | right now we actually recalled up to |
| 13449s | that high ground again |
| 13450s | [Music] |
| 13452s | surprised to say they spotted him now |
| 13453s | but a pulse bomb here could be a game |
| 13456s | because he's hardy he's low he doesn't |
| 13457s | even need a pulse get this kill |
| 13460s | landon probably can avoid that one there |
| 13461s | so not the outcome probably hoping for |
| 13464s | but already |
| 13465s | without boy |
| 13468s | i mean a minute on the clock is |
| 13471s | these wrecking ball comps into the diva |
| 13473s | have not looked pretty here |
| 13476s | for the london spitfire |
| 13480s | getting around maybe the corner of big |
| 13481s | girls that's gonna be overclocked from |
| 13482s | both sides yeah i think kilo knows he |
| 13484s | needs to kill sparker while he's doing |
| 13486s | this |
| 13487s | and the shocker in such a bad position |
| 13489s | in terms of like you know that high |
| 13490s | ground advantage and having good |
| 13491s | sidelines killer gets what he came for i |
| 13493s | guess why that eventually goes down that |
| 13494s | immortality feels removed but there's |
| 13496s | still stall here diva allows you to do |
| 13498s | that but finn i don't think is that able |
| 13500s | to keep the diva top down because most |
| 13501s | of the time of the dps are getting their |
| 13503s | harmony or appealing and collusion has |
| 13505s | lost a match so not a whole lot he can |
| 13507s | do except for stall but kilo finds shaq |
| 13509s | that's a big one some pressure off the |
| 13510s | back line perhaps |
| 13511s | lands in mortality down there but it's |
| 13513s | really just kilo he can't even get rid |
| 13515s | of backbone |
| 13518s | and yet proper coming in here as well |
| 13519s | violet gonna walk on through |
| 13523s | it's not gonna make much of an impact so |
| 13526s | london not pretty able to get this first |
| 13528s | checkpoint this is london's map pick as |
| 13530s | well so |
| 13531s | maybe they did not expect the diva right |
| 13533s | i can't imagine you know many teams and |
| 13535s | scrims are running this diva type of |
| 13537s | setup you know especially if we're only |
| 13539s | seeing it from like one team in game |
| 13542s | they're pretty difficult to beat here at |
| 13544s | this start but maybe now they'll you |
| 13546s | know london's got the payload out of |
| 13547s | that area they can start to get it |
| 13548s | growing |
| 13549s | that was lovely from shaq's just descent |
| 13552s | on kilo that doesn't give him any chance |
| 13554s | to to back away |
| 13556s | it could also be an answer to the rising |
| 13557s | like prominence of wrecking ball |
| 13559s | compositions from a lot of teams |
| 13561s | employees may just not prefer to play it |
| 13562s | feels like the diva offers them some |
| 13564s | answers against that |
| 13565s | so far though good start here in the |
| 13567s | second phase for the spitfire that's |
| 13568s | that momentum that they've been able to |
| 13569s | build |
| 13570s | finn has the transcendence here lanes |
| 13572s | lost their mortality field now so is the |
| 13574s | window i think would even |
| 13576s | literally i guess for the london |
| 13577s | spitfire to try and exploit |
| 13581s | yeah the transcendence comes from |
| 13582s | backbone a little bit later here is are |
| 13584s | you going to be able to get rid of finn |
| 13586s | the payload it made a decent amount of |
| 13588s | progress thus far |
| 13590s | and man they got to deal with proper |
| 13592s | dude he has just been a nuisance right |
| 13594s | now if you're trying to match dive |
| 13595s | versus dive which means that you're |
| 13597s | leaving your back lines without any hope |
| 13598s | of peel |
| 13600s | you're probably going to lose against |
| 13601s | the shock whose proper tends to have an |
| 13602s | outsized impact when he gets to you know |
| 13604s | dive these back lines on harry and he's |
| 13606s | dealing against like you know kind of |
| 13608s | busted zen right really powerful two two |
| 13610s | five hp zen and he's uh triumphant |
| 13614s | either that i mean you gotta be |
| 13616s | confident you're gonna be able to get in |
| 13617s | there with your tracer and wrecking ball |
| 13619s | and |
| 13620s | burn some of these players down and get |
| 13622s | these kills fast and you know get back |
| 13624s | to the rest of the team to be able to |
| 13626s | help with proper if you're not able to |
| 13628s | do that |
| 13629s | good luck |
| 13632s | golden opportunity here for san |
| 13633s | francisco get a big advantage in this |
| 13634s | map it's kilo oh what a pick jax walks |
| 13638s | around the corner headlong |
| 13640s | into some charge photons sparker is able |
| 13642s | to shut down that ultimate output one of |
| 13644s | his own version here's the power oh |
| 13645s | finally he's down |
| 13648s | spark off that's a clown that's another |
| 13650s | one unreal straight through yeah that |
| 13653s | was through colluge and it hit finn |
| 13655s | behind him in d-mec colluge and line up |
| 13657s | for that palouse goes well yeah i mean |
| 13660s | that is uh |
| 13661s | you talk about needed to make a play i |
| 13663s | mean they needed to play in the worst |
| 13665s | way to happen there and that was huge |
| 13666s | there from sparker we've seen some |
| 13668s | incredible sojourn plays this season |
| 13670s | that stands among them for sure |
| 13673s | still last fight scenario for london |
| 13675s | though can they keep that wind in their |
| 13677s | sailors is it early demek on kalushi not |
| 13679s | a great omen for the shock they lose him |
| 13682s | very quickly there to disrupt the shot |
| 13683s | and there's a great pulse connection |
| 13685s | here and you can see the morale starting |
| 13687s | to soar after what spark had just |
| 13689s | displayed san francisco reeling after |
| 13692s | that |
| 13693s | you know sometimes you just need |
| 13694s | somebody to make a big play and it |
| 13696s | seemed like they were london just kind |
| 13698s | of |
| 13699s | waiting for somebody to you know have |
| 13701s | that big moment that was going to give |
| 13702s | them that confidence back remember after |
| 13704s | map number one like we saw how |
| 13706s | they were like kind of smiling laughing |
| 13708s | everybody like in good spirits like felt |
| 13709s | like they |
| 13710s | could hang in this series and had a good |
| 13712s | chance to win it it kind of felt a |
| 13713s | little bit off there after that second |
| 13715s | map with how good the shock work but man |
| 13718s | to pick like that you know and a play |
| 13720s | like that from sparker that could they |
| 13721s | could change things |
| 13723s | already the texture of this round feels |
| 13725s | a little different |
| 13726s | even though finn starts off this fight |
| 13728s | with a defensive pick |
| 13730s | san francisco he's probably still |
| 13732s | see the after that zen gap called from |
| 13735s | backbone after that first map |
| 13738s | remember wrecking ball knocks you back |
| 13739s | in a hell of a long way now it's |
| 13742s | it's more than you expect more often |
| 13743s | than not |
| 13747s | somebody's gotta be so careful man |
| 13748s | getting hit with these discords and |
| 13750s | whatnot i feel like uh what he's doing |
| 13752s | is opening up a lot of space |
| 13754s | for sparker that is a wild shot there |
| 13756s | from kilo we don't can't join his pov |
| 13757s | but like shaq's just mid-jump like by |
| 13760s | the payload and just caught the top of |
| 13761s | his head |
| 13763s | all right a flurry of action here is |
| 13764s | collusion proper |
| 13766s | dig their heels in it looks like london |
| 13768s | are not going to be allowed to advance |
| 13770s | any further we're going to have trend |
| 13771s | sentences here from both zenyatta so |
| 13773s | it's definitely uh a touch situation |
| 13775s | here |
| 13776s | jax is going to be the one that |
| 13777s | acquiesces he'll kick this around going |
| 13779s | for now |
| 13780s | wrecking ball in the background it's |
| 13781s | hardy trying to pressure but he's |
| 13782s | hitting the discord orb he's forced away |
| 13784s | kaluso catches him as he tries to escape |
| 13786s | proper though |
| 13788s | not coming off well against backbone as |
| 13790s | he tries to dive |
| 13792s | no that'll be a transcendence from both |
| 13794s | sides and ant matrix so here from violet |
| 13797s | paul's throne kilo for two though he's |
| 13799s | always good for two |
| 13800s | shaq's now has to try and work his way |
| 13802s | around the periphery and buy some time |
| 13803s | for harding to return |
| 13805s | he knocks the shock back off the card |
| 13806s | here but he'll be subject to that |
| 13808s | combined rap |
| 13810s | and he cannot withstand it |
| 13814s | it's there towards the end i feel like |
| 13815s | when you have uh you know finn just able |
| 13818s | to discord hottie every single time kilo |
| 13820s | is landing these shots |
| 13821s | and just that long alleyway there's |
| 13823s | really nowhere for hottie to like hide |
| 13824s | in that type of position or uh you know |
| 13826s | get to a spot think about all the spots |
| 13828s | on this part of route 66 |
| 13831s | you know you're trying to like break |
| 13832s | line of sight like most likely your |
| 13834s | supports don't have line of sight of you |
| 13835s | either without like so many like |
| 13837s | different like doorways and whatnot that |
| 13840s | he's not even really able to get a ton |
| 13842s | of healing going out so it makes it |
| 13843s | really tough on hottie there at the end |
| 13846s | and you see that the shock they're able |
| 13847s | to bounce back after that heroic play uh |
| 13850s | from sparker with uh you know we don't |
| 13852s | know how their offense is gonna go that |
| 13853s | still may be enough right you know just |
| 13855s | getting past that second checkpoint is |
| 13858s | huge here well we could always say for |
| 13860s | certain riders if sparky doesn't do that |
| 13863s | the spitfire don't get into that last |
| 13865s | phase of the map at all really i mean he |
| 13867s | no they were they were in a short-handed |
| 13869s | situation where sparker gets the trade |
| 13871s | initially and then pops that ultimately |
| 13873s | absolutely hog |
| 13875s | be upon wild |
| 13877s | hello yeah i mean the reason we're |
| 13878s | talking about this is potentially one |
| 13880s | that's like could go in london's favor |
| 13882s | it's really because of the play from |
| 13883s | sparker right |
| 13885s | let's see this is the shot on the tracer |
| 13888s | right that's an eight that's an 80 |
| 13889s | charge rail as well so body shot |
| 13891s | probably yeah not not getting the job |
| 13892s | done this is sparkle yeah |
| 13896s | let's see |
| 13897s | one |
| 13899s | he gets the i believe he gets uh yeah |
| 13900s | now pops the overclock too |
| 13902s | then here it is yeah yeah it connects |
| 13904s | with fin and collusion one shot |
| 13908s | again just the shoulder of the mech but |
| 13910s | it's enough obviously to get that sort |
| 13911s | of d-max so |
| 13913s | he's just wandering into |
| 13915s | the firing line there |
| 13919s | what's kilo looking for |
| 13920s | got a wide funk in this widow again this |
| 13922s | is pretty |
| 13923s | pretty daring |
| 13930s | it's pretty risky the widow right i feel |
| 13933s | like it's very feast or famine here |
| 13935s | uh it's definitely making lantern though |
| 13938s | sweat of it you see just playing around |
| 13939s | that pole hottie getting really low |
| 13941s | colu's going to go in yeah you're going |
| 13942s | to have to do him that's what the widow |
| 13944s | does for you there i think hardy's sat |
| 13946s | in the worst possible place in his low |
| 13948s | health it's so easy for toulouse to go |
| 13950s | upstairs and finish the job |
| 13955s | now what are you gonna go over a |
| 13956s | wrecking ball you're gonna probably do |
| 13958s | this just to get back and try and get a |
| 13960s | touch right because i mean the |
| 13961s | part is moving so fast i guess yeah it |
| 13963s | might be preferable against the widow |
| 13965s | yeah oh man |
| 13967s | if they hit the jackpot straight into |
| 13969s | the back line they come up with violet |
| 13971s | and |
| 13972s | that's just perfect oh |
| 13976s | couldn't couldn't draw it up any better |
| 13978s | hello in a tough spot here |
| 13982s | you sign up for this when you play diva |
| 13984s | i don't have to tell you remember |
| 13984s | watching frd like in the longest stagger |
| 13986s | i've ever seen and just him just |
| 13988s | accepting he he may still be in a |
| 13989s | stagger we don't know |
| 13991s | titan's they're never helping him out |
| 13993s | he's poor poor guy oh man |
| 13997s | that'll fib he liked my tweet the other |
| 13999s | day he's he's doing fine i guess he's |
| 14001s | got the time to look at my nonsense |
| 14005s | all right proper |
| 14007s | where does this pulse bomb go exactly |
| 14009s | the is out of the picture here so |
| 14012s | it's off the approach just roll straight |
| 14014s | through proper all right |
| 14016s | they see him rolling and they hate him |
| 14018s | because they're down two players as soon |
| 14019s | as he turns up |
| 14022s | honey |
| 14023s | love that tactic |
| 14025s | yeah yeah heads upstairs |
| 14027s | because your impact radius increases |
| 14029s | when you use that ability so you can |
| 14030s | yeah whacky things with it |
| 14033s | is he going to get out |
| 14035s | they tried to chase there |
| 14038s | nice gucci |
| 14041s | it's it feels a little bit though like |
| 14042s | you're just kidding like throwing stuff |
| 14044s | out there right like where maybe violet |
| 14046s | maybe there's a better use of that |
| 14047s | matrix but |
| 14050s | still kind of throw it in there at the |
| 14052s | end and that's going to be the minefield |
| 14053s | that's going to try and block the |
| 14054s | supports you see in the outline and that |
| 14056s | lower tunnel from pushing on through |
| 14059s | yeah and also it means that no other |
| 14060s | groundborn units like crosstalk can get |
| 14062s | there really getting ready to lose here |
| 14064s | is that's so massive |
| 14066s | it's monumental |
| 14067s | chance gets headshot by kilo ghost so |
| 14069s | still is on the table but you know what |
| 14070s | spiker is like with the old second |
| 14072s | that's where the magic happens i don't |
| 14074s | think he sees proper there so |
| 14076s | yeah he takes a ton of damage and |
| 14077s | probably chasing this |
| 14079s | bit of a weird looking one from his |
| 14081s | perspective but the shock get that |
| 14082s | checkpoint |
| 14084s | still |
| 14085s | it's it could have been way worse right |
| 14088s | it was looking like it was gonna be way |
| 14089s | worse for london uh they're able to hold |
| 14092s | the shock to like a minute there uh on |
| 14094s | the clock so |
| 14096s | three minutes fifteen |
| 14098s | and see you can get sparker set up on |
| 14099s | the high ground right you have a |
| 14101s | nano potentially whether it's for |
| 14103s | backbone whether it's for hottie |
| 14105s | uh depending on who needs it worse |
| 14108s | oh actually that was violet up on the |
| 14110s | high ground and hani just rolls right up |
| 14112s | there with sparker he gets a discord |
| 14114s | they're able to take him out real fast |
| 14116s | denying that position away from fire to |
| 14118s | get if he gets too aggressive there's |
| 14119s | always a risk of hardy turning up and |
| 14121s | upending his plans |
| 14124s | this is fine for the spitfire right you |
| 14126s | want to make this costly for the shock |
| 14127s | that first pick is crucial |
| 14130s | jackson needs to find yet another way to |
| 14132s | sort of get in it's scary out there |
| 14134s | dealing with kilo but oh and backbone |
| 14136s | took care of that threat for him i guess |
| 14137s | still has to recall |
| 14140s | just pick here the |
| 14142s | up slowing down if you are london your |
| 14144s | main focus here is to burn clock you |
| 14146s | have completed this checkpoint right |
| 14148s | you've got checkpoint b on your side |
| 14150s | not not a |
| 14152s | a tremendous amount of push there |
| 14154s | towards the end but enough where if you |
| 14156s | can get this clock low |
| 14158s | you can make it pretty difficult for the |
| 14160s | shock to complete |
| 14162s | kilo that's beautiful two headshots no |
| 14165s | less |
| 14167s | yeah great turnaround after he started |
| 14169s | the fight uh on the receiving end of uh |
| 14171s | those orbs from backbone he comes back |
| 14172s | with a vengeance |
| 14174s | you can still come out and fight this if |
| 14175s | you're in london though you're gonna |
| 14176s | have minefield |
| 14177s | nano |
| 14178s | pulse bomb |
| 14180s | uh no ant matrix will see where violet |
| 14182s | sets up |
| 14183s | to use this but you can definitely come |
| 14185s | out and fight this you have a good set |
| 14186s | of ultimates to use |
| 14188s | audio touch |
| 14190s | he's dropping shot thrown down in front |
| 14191s | of the airplane |
| 14192s | the placement there is so far |
| 14194s | he's trying to get you to the back line |
| 14196s | up sorry close |
| 14200s | [Music] |
| 14203s | we gotta catch that again so uh instead |
| 14205s | of like nanoing like hottie right |
| 14208s | they nano |
| 14209s | sparker in |
| 14211s | they just he just darts out like slides |
| 14214s | in so fast gets high ground overclock |
| 14217s | turns |
| 14218s | and just burns like three people |
| 14220s | instantly yeah no way for the shock to |
| 14222s | react there |
| 14225s | stole the base and then hit a home run |
| 14230s | all right |
| 14231s | 60 seconds finney with a transcendence |
| 14233s | play |
| 14234s | 55 seconds in the round |
| 14237s | san francisco need to come up with |
| 14238s | something decisive here spark has been |
| 14240s | the one that's been dictated the pace of |
| 14242s | the game right now and the shock don't |
| 14244s | look comfortable one of those conditions |
| 14245s | proper these minced meters sparkle balls |
| 14248s | a hole through fin |
| 14250s | and now we'll be in cleanup phase this |
| 14251s | could take some time as well more |
| 14253s | stagger for the shock they're down to 35 |
| 14255s | man |
| 14257s | again if they get this kill on a colluge |
| 14259s | could be big he's got self-destruct but |
| 14261s | probably doesn't want to burn in this |
| 14262s | type of situation all right he gets out |
| 14264s | with his life i was going to say |
| 14266s | he needs to remake |
| 14268s | yeah |
| 14271s | it's now or never london this be such a |
| 14273s | huge map when for london |
| 14276s | sparta has just been unreal so far |
| 14279s | he's the transcenders they force it |
| 14280s | early okay backbone didn't have one |
| 14283s | available so this is a very good result |
| 14284s | for the spitfire they just regrouped |
| 14286s | here so far so good first tick in the |
| 14289s | box for london harney backs away there a |
| 14291s | little bit of pressure but he sees kalu |
| 14292s | starting to threaten the card violet |
| 14294s | goes down that's huge but proper and |
| 14295s | kilo step up now hardy needs to decide |
| 14298s | how we get value out of these mines some |
| 14300s | stall is going to be important |
| 14303s | probably looking for another kill here |
| 14304s | on landon this time |
| 14306s | it's a self-fire nade landon |
| 14308s | he really just felt like he had no shot |
| 14309s | there no chats |
| 14311s | are you surprised that hardy didn't drop |
| 14313s | like the mines like because uh when he |
| 14315s | comes around that corner and pile drives |
| 14317s | there's a few players on the stairs no |
| 14320s | uh no transcendence available and |
| 14322s | potentially could have dropped like the |
| 14324s | play there the |
| 14326s | the well so it's possible it's really |
| 14328s | risky |
| 14329s | what you probably like better is saving |
| 14331s | it for this moment in time right where |
| 14332s | they have to walk through this |
| 14334s | uh hallway to complete the map uh kind |
| 14337s | of play for this scenario here is he's |
| 14339s | gonna drop them right on the payload |
| 14340s | there this is gonna buy some time |
| 14343s | the time |
| 14345s | now any eliminations as a result of that |
| 14346s | quite yet oh shaq has to recall you back |
| 14349s | up into all anyway |
| 14351s | party caught unawares by kilo as he |
| 14353s | moves up |
| 14354s | but that's all of his overclock done |
| 14356s | lana's gone down again poppers found him |
| 14358s | in both of the last couple of fights |
| 14359s | here and even violet's chiming in this |
| 14361s | is san francisco doing what only the |
| 14363s | shot can do |
| 14364s | everybody chiming in with some big |
| 14366s | eliminations and shaxes comes too late |
| 14368s | in the damn day |
| 14370s | harness can be able to step up on the |
| 14371s | wrecking ball for a time he gets a nano |
| 14372s | boost as well but there's an air matrix |
| 14374s | in play and hardy can't go anywhere |
| 14376s | it's a big amount of shielding coming |
| 14377s | from the adaptive barrier but it's going |
| 14379s | to be burned away in a moment in a |
| 14381s | heartbeat it's going to be the san |
| 14382s | francisco shock into that box of victory |
| 14384s | and it's up to shaq's to stall spark is |
| 14386s | there with a little bit of pressure but |
| 14387s | not enough damage to the mortality field |
| 14389s | in play from violet inoculates the shock |
| 14391s | against anything unexpected and san |
| 14393s | francisco steal the map away matt |
| 14396s | despite the heroics of the spitfire |
| 14398s | that's a crashing map loss |
| 14401s | yeah that is |
| 14402s | brutal there for london |
| 14404s | i mean that's kind of where you think |
| 14406s | like hey maybe you could have used that |
| 14407s | minefield right you were kind of trading |
| 14409s | some kills out at the start you knew you |
| 14411s | had forced out the transcendence |
| 14414s | but saving it there towards the end to |
| 14416s | try and go for the win doesn't work out |
| 14418s | for the spitfire and man they uh |
| 14421s | that's a tough loss because you also had |
| 14423s | uh you know sparker playing at such a |
| 14426s | high level |
| 14427s | this one's starting to turn into a bit |
| 14429s | of a memorable matchup between the shock |
| 14431s | and the spitfire and it's still all on |
| 14433s | the table for london they've just got a |
| 14435s | running back salty style stick around |
| 14438s | for map four |

| 14712s | i'd say nero |
| 14714s | hulk nero it's definitely it's |
| 14716s | definitely me or hawk i'd have to go to |
| 14718s | pelican this guy's just always up to |
| 14720s | something |
| 14722s | 100 felican |
| 14724s | maybe |
| 14725s | piggy and me |
| 14729s | it's |
| 14735s | always doing something to mess with |
| 14736s | people they're like they like making |
| 14738s | people mad sometimes me or hawk just |
| 14740s | trolls a team like everyone on the team |
| 14742s | no one's safe two |
| 14752s | i guess it would be me i like pulling |
| 14754s | everyone's leg a little bit he'll go up |
| 14755s | and change someone's wallpaper or |
| 14757s | something while they're not looking |
| 14759s | or if someone's mad just making them |
| 14761s | more mad just for their own |
| 14763s | entertainment it's just something that |
| 14764s | we do and we find it funny |
| 14767s | who has the best fashion in the league |
| 14769s | to be honest i don't know how any of the |
| 14771s | other players dressed so i'm just gonna |
| 14772s | assume it to me |
| 14784s | foreign |
| 14807s | i don't think our team got dripped we |
| 14809s | we're not dripped out you guys |
| 14817s | in the league i think |
| 14819s | shu has the best fashion and i think on |
| 14821s | our team it's probably kai and kevster |
| 14823s | actually yeah |
| 14826s | what teammate always likes your bike no |
| 14827s | matter what barley my judd |
| 14830s | it's my saudi brother i think they all |
| 14832s | have my back |
| 14834s | you know we trust each other a lot and |
| 14836s | you know we're a team or a unit and i |
| 14838s | don't think there's any like barriers |
| 14839s | between us |
| 14845s | i'd say everyone on the team we're all |
| 14848s | friends we help each other through |
| 14849s | everything probably pelican maybe |
| 14852s | dante |
| 14864s | [Music] |
| 14868s | route 66 is a london spitfire map |
| 14872s | selection |
| 14873s | it doesn't go their way much to their |
| 14875s | dismay a decent start for london and |
| 14878s | some incredible moments from sparker |
| 14880s | who's been delivering |
| 14881s | kill after killed in flashy fashion this |
| 14884s | series |
| 14884s | but it's not enough to get them over the |
| 14886s | line in san francisco matt they look |
| 14888s | anything but clean today but this is all |
| 14891s | you need to do to win a series of |
| 14892s | overwatch |
| 14894s | i i think against uh when you see these |
| 14896s | top teams play though i don't exactly |
| 14898s | think you're gonna see clean results |
| 14900s | uh a lot |
| 14902s | of the time though uh so i think you're |
| 14904s | gonna have to win some games that are |
| 14905s | gonna look real tough for the shock to |
| 14908s | end up taking this series out uh i can |
| 14910s | ball i thought was like all theirs they |
| 14912s | look fantastic there uh last map really |
| 14914s | kind of could have went either way it |
| 14916s | was a little bit of a swing map there uh |
| 14919s | excited for what's next though uh as it |
| 14921s | is the london spitfire matt pick again |
| 14925s | this time it'll be colicio so |
| 14927s | we have that map selection with some |
| 14930s | subs that come in from the london |
| 14931s | spitfire uh as we know we've seen them |
| 14934s | on this map run like reinhardt may comps |
| 14937s | fully expect to see that type of play |
| 14939s | again and what do they have cooked up |
| 14941s | against it i mean backbone literally |
| 14943s | playing in a different pc with this roll |
| 14947s | switch he's now uh obviously at the four |
| 14950s | of the screen moving over towards dps |
| 14952s | here and you'll see that yeah admiral is |
| 14954s | is coming back in here for the london |
| 14956s | spitfire so |
| 14957s | look a little telegraphed maybe at least |
| 14959s | in terms of what their back line is |
| 14960s | going to be but you think it makes |
| 14961s | perfect sense on a push matter |
| 14964s | yeah i mean what it's the first time |
| 14965s | today we've seen uh admiral as uh it has |
| 14968s | been all backbone playing the zenyatta |
| 14970s | back there all day long so now he moves |
| 14973s | over to the dps role with admiral coming |
| 14975s | in that tells me we're probably gonna |
| 14977s | see some reinhardt rush |
| 14981s | reinhardt rush |
| 14983s | from the spitfire makes you now realize |
| 14985s | why this might have been their map of |
| 14986s | choice now |
| 14988s | shax obviously comes out for this |
| 14989s | particular strategy we've seen backbone |
| 14991s | shows a ton of different picks the may |
| 14993s | has definitely been one of them they've |
| 14995s | managed to leverage |
| 14996s | i mean pretty effectively |
| 14998s | we've seen very clean picks and setups |
| 15000s | here obviously and it really placed |
| 15001s | nicely into a reinhardt centric style |
| 15003s | where you set up these short charges |
| 15005s | and also screen hearty from incoming |
| 15007s | projectiles on the side of the shock we |
| 15009s | have a substitution here is kilo comes |
| 15011s | out thought he looked really good in the |
| 15012s | sojourn definitely one of the bright |
| 15014s | spots for the shock in them getting that |
| 15015s | map win uh he'll you'll be replaced by |
| 15018s | sam who knows that hanzo in his pocket |
| 15020s | the genji and mikey comes in uh at tank |
| 15024s | so why do they want to play against this |
| 15026s | like uh |
| 15027s | do they want to play |
| 15029s | i mean i i think you'd you'd be kind of |
| 15031s | crazy to match reinhardt play do you |
| 15034s | want to play uh like wrecking ball type |
| 15037s | of compositions right |
| 15038s | uh what are your options here if you're |
| 15040s | the shark |
| 15043s | i mean |
| 15044s | we've seen mikey play uh push before and |
| 15047s | we've seen him play you know winston |
| 15049s | we've also seen him play the doomfist so |
| 15051s | obviously we're at a point now where we |
| 15053s | know that mikey's hero pool is not just |
| 15055s | restricted to to playing wrecking ball |
| 15057s | but my question is would it be so bad if |
| 15059s | that's what he rolled out on here |
| 15061s | against a reinhardt composition like |
| 15063s | does that |
| 15064s | does that you know smack of a bad |
| 15067s | compositional choice do you think it has |
| 15069s | value here on a map like coliseum |
| 15071s | it probably has some value if you're |
| 15073s | gonna like what you play proper on |
| 15075s | tracer and like echo right and you try |
| 15078s | and |
| 15078s | uh take out backliners fast if you're |
| 15081s | not able to do so i imagine like lucio |
| 15083s | speed boost comes into play and they |
| 15085s | just kind of |
| 15086s | run you down |
| 15087s | uh |
| 15088s | and i think it'll be really telling |
| 15090s | early on in terms of like composition |
| 15092s | like how |
| 15093s | the shock want to deal with this which |
| 15096s | it kind of feels like an inevitable |
| 15097s | reinhardt set up right so do you think |
| 15099s | okay here's my question then if the |
| 15101s | shock are going to win this map how |
| 15103s | early do you think you're gonna know |
| 15104s | like do you think that's gonna become |
| 15105s | really evident like early on with like a |
| 15107s | big lead or do you think there's more to |
| 15109s | it i think so |
| 15111s | i i think you're going to know rather |
| 15112s | early on i think push in general |
| 15115s | you know we've seen some more comebacks |
| 15117s | since it's gone to 10 minutes right |
| 15120s | but |
| 15120s | it you know it almost feels like whoever |
| 15122s | hits that butt scratch first you know |
| 15124s | that part where the pot stops and you |
| 15126s | get that forward spawn whoever hits that |
| 15128s | spot first like feels like they win |
| 15130s | uh a good amount of the time where |
| 15133s | if you're able if you're like let's say |
| 15135s | if you're london and you're able to get |
| 15136s | a good push go in and you hit that first |
| 15140s | uh |
| 15140s | and |
| 15141s | you know you're in the reinhardt you can |
| 15143s | kind of play that neutral the whole game |
| 15145s | like you feel like you're in a pretty |
| 15147s | pretty great spot to take this man |
| 15150s | crucial |
| 15152s | early fights here are things to look out |
| 15153s | for now as we have the spitfire come out |
| 15155s | yeah like we teased like it's the may |
| 15156s | for backbone alongside hardy on that |
| 15158s | reinhardt land on the batiste of course |
| 15161s | they're from san francisco okay so we |
| 15163s | actually have mikey here proper playing |
| 15164s | the genji which is actually something |
| 15165s | that we |
| 15166s | don't get nearly as often from him but |
| 15168s | when we get it it's it is incredible |
| 15170s | really really frightening and this frees |
| 15172s | up sam to keep playing this sojourn the |
| 15174s | soldier looks so good for him after a |
| 15176s | bit of a s like a slower start at that |
| 15178s | point |
| 15180s | and violet on the lucio they want to be |
| 15182s | a little bit |
| 15183s | faster to get in and out of situations |
| 15186s | so they're not as easily able to be run |
| 15188s | down right if speed boost comes out of |
| 15190s | admiral they start to spring forward |
| 15193s | you can do it on yourself and man sam he |
| 15195s | is played so well |
| 15197s | on the sojourn today is that it's going |
| 15199s | to be a first pick |
| 15201s | it's interesting isn't it they lose |
| 15202s | their soldier in there and does goodbye |
| 15204s | decide that that's the time to commit |
| 15206s | like to go forward to make something |
| 15207s | happen |
| 15209s | and obviously it doesn't work out |
| 15210s | they're down a player to start with your |
| 15211s | fact it goes horribly against them |
| 15214s | yeah i mean what do you do right you |
| 15216s | can't just stand there in the neutral |
| 15217s | and get |
| 15218s | wilted down i feel like eventually |
| 15221s | at all |
| 15224s | hard right |
| 15225s | maybe |
| 15226s | what happened here that was just fair |
| 15229s | though i think it was biking damage plus |
| 15231s | just violent incidental spam that gets |
| 15233s | that elimination |
| 15235s | yeah |
| 15237s | this has been really good start for the |
| 15239s | shock is |
| 15241s | now sam could get another pick that |
| 15243s | would be huge |
| 15246s | sam just maintaining that full charge |
| 15248s | here until he has an opportunity to |
| 15250s | make use of that rail |
| 15252s | party going a little low now as |
| 15254s | london is really trying to control this |
| 15255s | high ground san francisco aren't backing |
| 15257s | up as well normally teams just back away |
| 15259s | and try and look for like a better |
| 15260s | position to take this slide from and |
| 15262s | maybe that would have been advisable for |
| 15263s | san francisco but instead they bucked |
| 15265s | that trend and they keep pressuring |
| 15268s | yeah it looks like mikey gets pinned the |
| 15269s | reverse way yeah |
| 15271s | violet trying to make it out gets mikey |
| 15273s | gets pinned towards the |
| 15275s | london spitfire spawn so |
| 15278s | uh they do not get to that uh no tick on |
| 15281s | the top so they don't unlock that first |
| 15283s | point that's like the biggest thing |
| 15284s | because the bottle stopped there for a |
| 15286s | little bit and the second time around it |
| 15287s | will not stop |
| 15290s | so being able to unlock that first seems |
| 15292s | to be pretty crucial in terms of getting |
| 15294s | good progress to play shadow there is |
| 15297s | going to precipitate a sound barrier |
| 15298s | from fire and look at the shock surge |
| 15300s | forward |
| 15301s | and patience from sam there he lines |
| 15303s | fire up or at least he lets him walk |
| 15305s | into the crosshair |
| 15306s | and backbone is in trouble here yeah ice |
| 15308s | block eventually will subside he will |
| 15311s | come |
| 15312s | and that's uh yeah a nice little sleep |
| 15313s | down there in admiral before he went |
| 15314s | down |
| 15316s | yeah it's just really it's a really nice |
| 15319s | surgeon play from sam there it feels |
| 15320s | like every time we get into a |
| 15322s | five-on-five scenario he's able to get a |
| 15324s | first pick |
| 15327s | we know how important those are here in |
| 15328s | overwatch too so |
| 15330s | bottle get back to the barrier start to |
| 15332s | move around this corner here getting |
| 15335s | close to that tick |
| 15337s | i like london yeah they get right on top |
| 15339s | of it they know how important this is |
| 15340s | sparking here with the biome landers too |
| 15342s | slow |
| 15343s | a furrow in his brown as he realized he |
| 15344s | was too slow to save his teammate there |
| 15346s | within a mortality builder properly in a |
| 15348s | clean house |
| 15349s | both supports down to the genji |
| 15352s | this is starting to get a little out of |
| 15354s | hand |
| 15356s | yes no you're gonna get |
| 15359s | the forward checkpoint i think even more |
| 15361s | important though is like the forward |
| 15363s | checkpoint happens and there's nobody up |
| 15364s | to fight this immediately |
| 15366s | for the spitfire so |
| 15368s | the shock will get this around the |
| 15369s | corner they're gonna have a nano blade |
| 15370s | here mitch nanoblade you'll have a sound |
| 15372s | barrier available for the london so |
| 15376s | see if those counteract each other no |
| 15378s | the enemy's moving the barricade sparker |
| 15380s | looking for a first pick that would |
| 15381s | basically mean fight over |
| 15384s | doesn't see it though holding on to this |
| 15386s | chart for the camera proper he's digging |
| 15388s | deep it's a nano blade here prepare |
| 15390s | yourselves he will tell the killed used |
| 15392s | and proposed in an awkward spot here |
| 15393s | with that mayweal in the way he's out of |
| 15395s | the fight so there's two ultimates for |
| 15396s | nothing |
| 15397s | add insult to injury with the shock just |
| 15399s | straight up losing out in the rest of |
| 15400s | the fight |
| 15402s | it's a push on forward there from hottie |
| 15405s | he'll finish off a few here towards the |
| 15408s | end is a proper really low |
| 15410s | still i feel like if you're the shock |
| 15412s | quote unquote mission accomplished right |
| 15414s | the barrier will start to move in favor |
| 15416s | of the london spitfire but it's got a |
| 15418s | long way to go 85 meters for san |
| 15421s | francisco downside here for the shock |
| 15423s | you don't have any ultimates to work |
| 15424s | with you kind of blew everything there |
| 15426s | in those fights so |
| 15428s | you have an overclock available for |
| 15430s | sparker maybe that's good enough to win |
| 15431s | you one fight your shatter |
| 15434s | blizzard |
| 15435s | another uh another combo here |
| 15439s | violet close to a sound barrier here you |
| 15441s | see another shadow from hardy that might |
| 15443s | be the prescribed response plan it down |
| 15446s | oh my evil tardy could use sure |
| 15449s | but he himself is missing mikey's been |
| 15451s | removed from the fight spark is already |
| 15453s | uh backing up a little |
| 15455s | who's he looking but they go high ground |
| 15457s | finn actually hits a big biotic grenade |
| 15459s | there |
| 15461s | oh no like just about everybody so |
| 15463s | that was sparklers overclock not gonna |
| 15466s | get any progress for it it's uh |
| 15468s | the botch candy now standing in the |
| 15470s | middle of the map halfway more than |
| 15473s | halfway through this round |
| 15477s | all right hardy |
| 15478s | again maybe it may well boost up here |
| 15480s | nope just charge instead mixing it up i |
| 15482s | like that but finn was ready for it |
| 15484s | sleep dart already loose in the in the |
| 15486s | air as hardy went for the charge |
| 15488s | now the shop just needs to get value |
| 15489s | from this high ground position side spin |
| 15492s | fire won't be stopped that's a blizzard |
| 15493s | really heated into the distance there |
| 15497s | i think they thought they were going to |
| 15498s | be able to catch proper round |
| 15500s | i don't like it |
| 15503s | do they know how he's here they do now |
| 15506s | oh the bubble's in the way oh |
| 15508s | that is ugg lee |
| 15510s | still sparks about to find seven it just |
| 15513s | explodes in the direction of the |
| 15515s | spitfire |
| 15516s | that time another blade is a lot better |
| 15519s | i feel like the |
| 15520s | the blizzard and then like the flank |
| 15522s | shatter |
| 15524s | not huge isn't it |
| 15537s | i thought he was just gonna shatter |
| 15538s | straight away on the stairs and not |
| 15540s | really kind of like wait i feel like he |
| 15541s | had an opportunity to like hit like two |
| 15543s | players let's say he wanted them to see |
| 15545s | he wanted to see the whites of their |
| 15546s | eyes as he shattered them |
| 15548s | oh dear |
| 15550s | been there taken down |
| 15552s | san francisco obviously in an aggressive |
| 15554s | position presently |
| 15556s | and they'll stay in that one i think as |
| 15559s | they've |
| 15559s | re-established here that checkpoint |
| 15561s | party's gonna get taken down and the |
| 15563s | shock will be on the march once more |
| 15567s | no ultimate so but it may not matter |
| 15569s | right just getting more barrier progress |
| 15573s | it's really kind of it's it's like a |
| 15576s | death nail to london here is you know |
| 15577s | they need to now get this bot |
| 15580s | going in their direction |
| 15582s | in like you know the progress they burn |
| 15585s | needs to be basically double and they |
| 15587s | can't they can't spend every ultimate to |
| 15589s | do it like there's so much working |
| 15590s | against right now it needs to be an |
| 15591s | insane comeback i believe seven and a |
| 15593s | half minutes has already elapsed here |
| 15596s | backbone is uncanny with these ice cold |
| 15597s | connections obviously though endo fairy |
| 15599s | blaster right click |
| 15602s | but uh again it's the deficit that the |
| 15604s | spitfire need to make up that's really |
| 15606s | going to hurt them here less than three |
| 15607s | minutes to go much of this round already |
| 15609s | elapsed here in the shop you've been in |
| 15610s | control most of the time and honestly |
| 15613s | like there have been a lot of fights |
| 15614s | where london has had the ultimate |
| 15616s | advantage just not able to get anything |
| 15618s | going like look at this coming into this |
| 15619s | one four ultimates probably to san |
| 15622s | francisco shock zero so |
| 15625s | uh can you get any progress with it |
| 15627s | though it's really tough to land like a |
| 15628s | big shatter against this |
| 15630s | they don't have one currently but |
| 15633s | overclock available |
| 15635s | maybe a wall that cuts off sparker's |
| 15637s | line of sight |
| 15638s | of a dodgy round from the backbone at |
| 15641s | times i think back to the blizzard of |
| 15643s | this communication there about you know |
| 15645s | whether that wall should go up or not |
| 15646s | and that's bought enough time it's gonna |
| 15648s | get close to another here so nano blade |
| 15650s | again may well be on the cards here the |
| 15651s | shop just try and stay away from all |
| 15653s | this poke damage |
| 15655s | both teams trade supports |
| 15657s | they have a bunch crash for london |
| 15658s | though that is a big deal it's good for |
| 15660s | london yeah they and they get two kills |
| 15663s | here so they also have their sound |
| 15664s | barrier if needed uh and their own ant |
| 15667s | matrix so this is actually really good |
| 15669s | for the london spitfire you're going to |
| 15671s | get around this corner proper is going |
| 15673s | to have a nano blade but you have your |
| 15674s | beat to deal with it and if you get in |
| 15676s | that open uh you know just kind of like |
| 15678s | on top of the bridge you're getting that |
| 15679s | area that's when the shatter could be |
| 15681s | good here's the blade from proper no not |
| 15683s | again from finn it comes a little later |
| 15684s | in the day there's a sound barrier to |
| 15686s | contend with it gets cut through |
| 15688s | eventually though proper and the rest of |
| 15690s | the shot barrel forward it's a three for |
| 15692s | two trade here a little scary problem |
| 15695s | with the deflex it's pretty gainful a |
| 15697s | lot of pressure goes back towards spark |
| 15698s | at least in low without supports and so |
| 15701s | here's the situation |
| 15703s | this push here for san francisco may |
| 15705s | will be the last one 45 seconds left in |
| 15707s | the round spitfire might need to take an |
| 15708s | early fight here if they can |
| 15711s | well i mean they need to get this bar |
| 15714s | back going in the opposite direction |
| 15716s | they have an outside chance here in |
| 15718s | london if they can get this bar back |
| 15720s | fast |
| 15722s | wants to go quick he's going to block oh |
| 15724s | i love that he turns his shield so mikey |
| 15726s | can't be healed by the rest of his |
| 15727s | teammates and he's a sound barrier from |
| 15729s | fighter that doesn't reach their main |
| 15730s | tank either sparker finds another is |
| 15732s | going to be proper at least with the one |
| 15733s | but he has to deal with the immortality |
| 15734s | field pesky thing always getting in his |
| 15737s | way |
| 15738s | he might get caught here if he's not |
| 15739s | careful probably needs to get back to |
| 15740s | the rest of his team but he can't escape |
| 15742s | this is the spitfire's time now they're |
| 15744s | gonna have one good push one chance to |
| 15746s | do this and force a map five |
| 15749s | but they need to play perfect |
| 15753s | you're maybe going to get a blizzard |
| 15754s | here and you're maybe going to get an |
| 15755s | overclock that's like best case scenario |
| 15758s | for london |
| 15761s | both key ultimates and their matrix as |
| 15763s | well on the way for landon |
| 15765s | mikey trying to control the high ground |
| 15766s | a little bit of harass some poke but he |
| 15768s | won't have a primary to this next fight |
| 15769s | that disrupts the shot |
| 15771s | not really effective prophets just |
| 15773s | bathing inside sparker so he's low he'll |
| 15775s | need to be topped up here 77 101. |
| 15778s | sparkly usually air matrix now sees the |
| 15780s | winston take to the skies and no one |
| 15782s | from the shot can drop right now not |
| 15783s | with the window in the way |
| 15785s | he's an overclock say i'm going to slide |
| 15787s | to his device potentially spark it tries |
| 15789s | to line him up good strafing some fancy |
| 15790s | footwork twinkle toes is sam right now |
| 15793s | say i would have put a lot of that |
| 15794s | prince from sparker with the fights far |
| 15796s | from done propaganda when he's looking |
| 15798s | to try and find his way to the backline |
| 15799s | another immortality field gets in his |
| 15800s | way and it's hardy of course it's hardy |
| 15802s | to stand up and find two key |
| 15807s | he felt it's gonna be kills surely hardy |
| 15809s | shuts him down though came out with the |
| 15811s | charge |
| 15812s | put him out of the fight |
| 15814s | nasty are you gonna head out of the way |
| 15817s | and they're gonna have front spawn |
| 15818s | landon's gonna go to the moira try and |
| 15820s | get back right away |
| 15821s | potty getting close to a shatter |
| 15824s | winston over the top party under |
| 15826s | pressure charges no connection the light |
| 15828s | pole is in the way harney gets taken |
| 15829s | down the biotic grenade makes it |
| 15831s | impossible to keep him in the fight and |
| 15833s | here come the shock they're back with a |
| 15834s | vengeance |
| 15836s | and they're headed onto the next round |
| 15838s | a close 3-1 against the spitfire |
| 15841s | fantastic game between two of the west's |
| 15844s | most exciting prospects but importantly |
| 15847s | the shock is saying we can do it at land |
| 15850s | and that one goes down the fire i mean |
| 15852s | this is a really close |
| 15855s | 3-1 series uh no i can vault i think the |
| 15858s | one map that is like a blowout night you |
| 15861s | would favor in san francisco uh for san |
| 15864s | francisco but the rest of the series |
| 15867s | was so close back and forth and yeah |
| 15870s | that's a huge win for the shock you know |
| 15872s | london is a team that |
| 15874s | i i think could actually even in the |
| 15876s | lower bracket go pretty far |
| 15879s | london aren't used to |
| 15881s | suffering these kinds of losses anymore |
| 15883s | it's been a thing in the past for this |
| 15885s | team now but it's an important wake-up |
| 15887s | call reminder that there are still teams |
| 15889s | at the league that you know are kind of |
| 15891s | agnostic to london's specific style the |
| 15893s | kind of comp they can play like |
| 15895s | any time we see hardy on the reinhardt |
| 15897s | we know that it's going to be dynamic |
| 15899s | that it's going to be impactful and it's |
| 15900s | going to be impressive but it takes more |
| 15902s | than that and it says that volumes about |
| 15904s | the kind of player the profit is that |
| 15906s | when he pulled that blade i know i and |
| 15908s | many other people believed it was |
| 15910s | possible he got rid of landon and he |
| 15911s | made a pretty big gambit there but again |
| 15913s | london spitfire they're a danger to |
| 15915s | anybody in the lower bracket but to the |
| 15917s | upper bracket they should be fearing our |
| 15919s | player of the match because when he |
| 15921s | starts to get going |
| 15922s | i mean there's almost nobody that can |
| 15924s | hold a candle to him it's of course yeah |
| 15925s | it's going to be proper once again |
| 15928s | even losing maps uh proper consistently |
| 15930s | is the one that is sometimes dragging |
| 15932s | the shock forward |
| 15933s | really incredible series here and again |
| 15935s | young player with not a lot of land |
| 15937s | experience so this has been very |
| 15939s | important for us was texas it's his time |
| 15943s | it's just so difficult to slow him down |
| 15945s | we've really seen |
| 15947s | uh no not many teams if any able to do |
| 15950s | so uh where |
| 15951s | he can just make a huge impact on tracer |
| 15954s | uh play his own game so to speak and it |
| 15956s | makes the job of the rest of the team a |
| 15958s | little bit easier i also want to shout |
| 15960s | out sam i thought sam had a fantastic |
| 15962s | series when he was in specifically on |
| 15964s | the sojourn like time after time getting |
| 15966s | those first picks uh where you know him |
| 15969s | improper as duo looked really strong |
| 15971s | today yeah really impressed with sam |
| 15972s | sojourn for sure a really consistent |
| 15974s | output of the course of this series but |
| 15976s | again proper nearing 50 on that pulse |
| 15978s | bomb attached rate very very hard to |
| 15980s | kill and again a really solid showing in |
| 15983s | terms of those final blows for 10 |
| 15984s | minutes yeah there were some maps where |
| 15986s | he was sometimes the only thing to write |
| 15988s | home about for that san francisco shock |
| 15989s | team there was a lot of really impactful |
| 15991s | dps players in the server today between |
| 15993s | mikey colluge hardy some great tanks |
| 15995s | really a lot of things for both teams to |
| 15997s | be proud of the london spirit fire |
| 15999s | aren't done yet they definitely get to |
| 16000s | fight through this lower bracket i |
| 16002s | desperately want to see the match up |
| 16003s | against some of our teams in this |
| 16004s | eastern region we're going to obviously |
| 16006s | see that from the shock if they sort of |
| 16007s | advance and go too much further speaking |
| 16009s | of teams in the eastern region we've got |
| 16011s | some of those waiting in the wings here |
| 16013s | so get excited everybody more games to |
| 16015s | come on the other side of this break |
| 16016s | here we've still got two more games to |
| 16018s | see the results of it'd be crazy to go |
| 16020s | anywhere |
| 16029s | baby |
| 16035s | good |

| 16282s | joined by proper from san francisco |
| 16284s | shock proper congratulations on the win |
| 16287s | i gotta be honest that was that was a |
| 16288s | very close match um i mean despite it |
| 16292s | being really back and forth you guys |
| 16293s | definitely got the win at the end um |
| 16296s | what gave you guys the edge uh to win |
| 16299s | the match today against the london |
| 16300s | spitfire |
| 16308s | and also proper told me that he wants to |
| 16310s | answer this in english so everybody be |
| 16313s | nice to him |
| 16315s | i thought |
| 16317s | team but they really really strong |
| 16321s | i thought london was a really weak team |
| 16323s | but they were really strong |
| 16325s | they really were but you were you guys |
| 16327s | were i think stronger that's why you |
| 16329s | guys won |
| 16332s | and also with this win you guys are |
| 16335s | going to be facing either the dallas |
| 16337s | fuel or the shanghai dragons tomorrow |
| 16339s | who do you think is going to win that |
| 16340s | match up today and become your opponents |
| 16342s | tomorrow |
| 16353s | morning |
| 16358s | [Music] |
| 16372s | i really can't say uh who's going to win |
| 16374s | i can't really predict that but i really |
| 16375s | do want the dallas fuel to win just |
| 16377s | because you know i would like to sit in |
| 16379s | front of my opponents and play the game |
| 16381s | that way i think that will be very |
| 16383s | interesting all right proper thank you |
| 16385s | so much for your time and yeah uh and |
| 16387s | again uh congratulations on the win |
| 16392s | and with that being said let's let's |
| 16394s | send things back to avili take it away |
| 16399s | danny thank you so much for the |
| 16401s | interview and |
| 16402s | he waved to us |
| 16404s | we still get waves hey we have a problem |
| 16405s | we see |
| 16407s | and shout out to proper uh for stepping |
| 16409s | outside the comfort zone and doing a bit |
| 16410s | of the interview in english yeah that's |
| 16413s | super awesome yeah and it was so nice as |
| 16415s | well like we we we just learned like |
| 16417s | full 180 at the start of the overwatch |
| 16419s | league and everything i was like oh it |
| 16420s | was so nice you know they're so lovely |
| 16421s | to each other and then recently it just |
| 16423s | been like oh people are rude it's like |
| 16425s | they're trash they're awful and then now |
| 16427s | we're back together it's like oh you |
| 16428s | know they were pretty strong full circle |
| 16430s | no exactly even in just today we had |
| 16432s | reiner and then proper complete polar |
| 16434s | opposites uh but again congratulations |
| 16437s | to them and the shock stomping on the |
| 16439s | dreams of london spitfire here just a |
| 16441s | little bit |
| 16443s | and my dreams i wasn't going to say that |
| 16444s | explicitly but yes and my prediction |
| 16446s | dreams not doing too well for me right |
| 16449s | now but |
| 16450s | listen you guys predicted correctly that |
| 16453s | the shock was going to take it but the |
| 16454s | games ended up being a little bit closer |
| 16457s | than we had expected yeah it was |
| 16460s | actually uh a pleasant surprise i think |
| 16462s | here from the london spitfire we we |
| 16463s | always talk about them as this team that |
| 16466s | likes to play this rush style and that's |
| 16468s | sort of what they're good at and that's |
| 16470s | the only way they're really getting wins |
| 16472s | but a consistent factor throughout the |
| 16473s | entire the of this mid-season tournament |
| 16475s | has been they've been integrating a |
| 16477s | little bit of dive and it has been |
| 16479s | working from time to time |
| 16480s | they took it to the san francisco shock |
| 16482s | in this matchup on that first map of |
| 16484s | illios yes there was a catastrophic c9 |
| 16487s | 10 that was a bad c9 yeah it was it was |
| 16490s | pretty bad but |
| 16492s | at least they were being competitive and |
| 16494s | they were you know moments away from you |
| 16496s | know being able to win this fight on |
| 16497s | ikemold they could have held they could |
| 16499s | have capped up the whole thing and then |
| 16501s | you know even onto the the third map we |
| 16503s | go to route 66 66. |
| 16505s | starts coming alive on that sojourn and |
| 16508s | that was you know one team fight away |
| 16510s | from them winning that one as well so |
| 16512s | this is not the last we will see of this |
| 16514s | london spitfire team and i think they |
| 16515s | have a lot more depth and a lot more |
| 16517s | consistency than we're giving them |
| 16518s | credit for especially as i said before |
| 16521s | on that spark of sojourn it just feels |
| 16523s | like he is coming into his own as a |
| 16525s | player we hyped him up as a rookie last |
| 16527s | season he came of age in the middle of |
| 16529s | the season and it didn't feel like we |
| 16531s | ever really got to see his true peak |
| 16533s | because he wasn't able to play that much |
| 16534s | but really something to show his prowess |
| 16536s | against some of the best players we have |
| 16537s | in the league yeah custo you and johnny |
| 16539s | told me to be on the lookout for proper |
| 16541s | in this game and we really did see him |
| 16544s | uh show up uh but again just kind of i |
| 16547s | was also really surprised by sparkers |
| 16549s | you said the sojourn coming out |
| 16551s | on route 66 making a lot of good plays |
| 16554s | there yeah i i feel like sparker is |
| 16556s | another one of those players and we |
| 16557s | actually have quite a few in the league |
| 16558s | now |
| 16559s | where soldier like kind of caters to |
| 16562s | their skill sets and it it it just like |
| 16566s | fits who they are like they're not going |
| 16568s | to be the best widowmaker in the league |
| 16569s | like they don't have the best like |
| 16570s | sniper aim they're not going to be the |
| 16572s | best tracer like blinking around and you |
| 16574s | know getting these quick dive frags but |
| 16576s | sojourn it's like a nice niche where |
| 16578s | it's like i do some projectile damage |
| 16580s | but also snipe from afar and it's also |
| 16582s | like you can go aggressive and you can |
| 16584s | sit back so it's |
| 16585s | just another one of those players in the |
| 16587s | league who i think really has benefited |
| 16589s | from sojourn being released into the |
| 16590s | game yes we've seen a lot of sojourn |
| 16592s | we've seen a lot of tracer but one hero |
| 16594s | that we haven't seen a ton of was diva |
| 16597s | and she actually got picked up quite a |
| 16598s | lot in this series yeah i think it was |
| 16600s | an interesting pick from the san |
| 16601s | francisco shock and they've done it a |
| 16603s | couple times in the past along with |
| 16604s | other teams and most notably on |
| 16606s | iconvalda because you have that high |
| 16607s | ground right so you can boost up there |
| 16609s | and you can play pretty defensive with |
| 16611s | your defense matrix but we also saw it |
| 16612s | on route 66 and i like this sort of |
| 16615s | defensive approach coming out from the |
| 16616s | san francisco show and i'm curious to |
| 16618s | see how other teams adapt and play it |
| 16620s | accordingly collusion of course as you |
| 16622s | can see the stats yourselves you know i |
| 16624s | wouldn't say that like mind-blowing |
| 16625s | stats on diva it's just like wow what a |
| 16627s | diva performance but it was integral to |
| 16630s | the strategy they slowed things down and |
| 16632s | then for the most part there are four |
| 16634s | members sticking together playing around |
| 16636s | that they want kilo to stay aligned with |
| 16638s | the soldier and then proper as the fifth |
| 16640s | member is just around doing proper |
| 16642s | things killing everyone |
| 16643s | so it's an interesting strategy because |
| 16645s | they're like proper just go do your |
| 16647s | thing and we'll stay alive and if you |
| 16649s | can't kill them fast enough we hope we |
| 16651s | stay alive long enough to kill them |
| 16652s | ourselves |
| 16653s | and i think it's a cool strategy it's |
| 16655s | hard to break down because property is |
| 16656s | that good at the game so yeah i think it |
| 16658s | we're only two days into the tournament |
| 16660s | so far so many more comps and so many |
| 16661s | more strategies that we could see pop up |
| 16664s | throughout the week but let's go ahead |
| 16665s | and take a look at our updated bracket |
| 16667s | now that we have the results for this |
| 16670s | game of course we are going to see the |
| 16672s | shock be moving on to thursday where you |
| 16675s | could see them in that match 15 and of |
| 16677s | course that means that the london |
| 16678s | spitfire are dropping down into our |
| 16681s | losers bracket and we will see them play |
| 16685s | tomorrow against of course florida |
| 16688s | mayhem now just a really quick |
| 16691s | thoughts on how we think that match is |
| 16693s | going to go costa flores florida has |
| 16696s | been struggling so far in this entirety |
| 16698s | of the tournament if london spitfire |
| 16699s | come out and play like they did today i |
| 16701s | think the florida mayhem are in trouble |
| 16703s | anything to add no absolutely nothing to |
| 16706s | add well you know what that's a-okay |
| 16707s | because we have another match coming up |
| 16709s | even sooner that we need to preview and |
| 16711s | talk about of course shanghai dragons |
| 16713s | taking on dallas now |
| 16716s | johnny yeah you did see lip of shanghai |
| 16719s | dragons just go absolutely crazy |
| 16721s | yesterday do you think that we're going |
| 16722s | to see a similar performance coming into |
| 16724s | today i mean the shanghai dragons yeah |
| 16727s | lip i think lip is going to be like the |
| 16729s | best player in the server |
| 16731s | which you know is a bit i wouldn't say |
| 16733s | it's controversial but considering the |
| 16735s | players who are going to be in the |
| 16737s | server stating that lip is going to be |
| 16740s | the best one it still has some like |
| 16741s | punch behind it you know as a take so |
| 16743s | you know occurred to me that was a good |
| 16744s | thing but |
| 16746s | i think lip he could have like a border |
| 16748s | like shy level performance here on the |
| 16751s | hit scan and the question becomes how |
| 16753s | does dallas deal with that how are daos |
| 16755s | going to prepare accordingly knowing |
| 16757s | that lip is on the enemy team um again |
| 16759s | like the way he just like deconstructed |
| 16761s | run to defiant yesterday was very |
| 16762s | impressive so i'm looking forward to see |
| 16764s | what answers dallas fuel have in store |
| 16766s | for a lip on the shanghai dragons in |
| 16767s | this match and i think that has to go to |
| 16769s | sparkle and that's not on the hits again |
| 16771s | we're not going to see the sparkle you |
| 16772s | know i'm not going to say he's a bad hit |
| 16774s | scan player because last time i said he |
| 16775s | is tracer was bad it's come back to |
| 16777s | haunt me ever since but him on that |
| 16779s | genji and them upping the tempo as we |
| 16781s | know dallas fuel wants to do that is |
| 16783s | going to have to be how they deal with |
| 16785s | it because i don't think they have that |
| 16786s | hitscan player to match it they need to |
| 16788s | go for their own strategy play that dive |
| 16790s | style and i think that will be their |
| 16791s | path forward and something that i was |
| 16793s | kind of asking you about i think even in |
| 16795s | our rehearsal or before the pre-show was |
| 16798s | you told me that both the shanghai |
| 16799s | dragons and dallas have had their own |
| 16802s | struggles before in the past that |
| 16803s | they've had to overcome |
| 16805s | so do you think that they've learned |
| 16806s | from some of their previous bouts i |
| 16809s | think both have struggled i think |
| 16811s | shanghai dragons have started to come |
| 16812s | into their own identity so far in this |
| 16814s | in this stage i think they've made that |
| 16816s | transition from void to fade and we've |
| 16817s | talked about that a lot already today |
| 16819s | but for me the dallas fuel i still |
| 16821s | haven't seen that like dallas secret |
| 16824s | sauce we saw them do it in the kickoff |
| 16825s | clash where they found that zaya |
| 16826s | composition on the back of hanuman |
| 16828s | something completely unique to their |
| 16829s | team and they made it work i haven't |
| 16831s | seen that so far so unless they have |
| 16833s | something rush pulls something out of |
| 16835s | his bag of tricks i think the dallas |
| 16837s | feel are in trouble even though they're |
| 16838s | the fourth seed i think they're running |
| 16840s | off of good kickoff flash performances i |
| 16842s | don't think they're really just there |
| 16843s | yet but i would love to have them prove |
| 16844s | me wrong if you actually want to watch |
| 16846s | this match and like put emphasis on |
| 16848s | something it would be that dallas fuel i |
| 16850s | would be way more desperate as a dallas |
| 16852s | fuel fan just like what is our team |
| 16854s | identity who are we going to be they |
| 16856s | need to find themselves in this matchup |
| 16858s | so i think all the pressure is on dallas |
| 16860s | fuel in this match well then hopefully |
| 16861s | we can find the answers as we head into |
| 16864s | the game right now let's go ahead and |
| 16865s | throw it on over to our casters to get |
| 16867s | us into the action lemon kiwi and leg |
| 16869s | day |
| 16872s | hey everyone this is gonna be so fun we |
| 16874s | got the second half of matches to go |
| 16876s | dallas fuel versus the shanghai dragons |
| 16879s | so great to have avaly on the desk too i |
| 16881s | remember you know her and i go way back |
| 16882s | on on puppy farts when it comes to the |
| 16884s | beta you know we got in that one game |
| 16886s | once but like they we go way back but |
| 16888s | unfortunately we couldn't meet each |
| 16889s | other in hawaii so we decided to get |
| 16891s | some good attire going |
| 16893s | yeah we're we're themed up with the desk |
| 16895s | and of course uh i'm in the hawaii theme |
| 16897s | here in europe as we all uh |
| 16901s | it's been an amazing couple of days here |
| 16903s | in europe oh yes it is quite true i've |
| 16905s | got the wind going today i've got the |
| 16907s | props out and one thing's gonna be |
| 16909s | heating up in this match as well we've |
| 16910s | got the dragon so we're gonna be |
| 16911s | breathing plenty of fire and as our |
| 16913s | analyst points out on the desk uh |
| 16916s | dragons seem to have fallen into a bit |
| 16918s | of an identity here and us less so lemon |
| 16921s | they still can't decide are we a winston |
| 16922s | team are we a doomfist team and one of |
| 16925s | the traits that both of these teams |
| 16926s | really share is that it seems like in |
| 16929s | every single reiteration when we have a |
| 16931s | patch both of them are slow starters |
| 16933s | like both of these teams started off |
| 16935s | their seasons as heavily vaunted and |
| 16938s | admired teams getting three owed by |
| 16940s | teams that some might consider a little |
| 16942s | bit beneath them at least in our initial |
| 16944s | power rankings and the same happened at |
| 16946s | the beginning of mid-season madness as |
| 16947s | well the void experiment for shanghai |
| 16950s | dragons was a |
| 16951s | resounding failure and of course we had |
| 16953s | status field going oh and six in their |
| 16955s | first two matches |
| 16957s | yeah both these teams started off open |
| 16959s | six in the mid-season madness take a |
| 16960s | look at the dragons though it's the |
| 16962s | first time these two teams will face so |
| 16966s | the shanghai dragons being led there by |
| 16968s | fate uh got third at the kickoff clash |
| 16970s | qualifier in the kickoff clash |
| 16972s | tournament hoping to turn things around |
| 16974s | like you said there was a bit of |
| 16975s | experimentation around the sigma but |
| 16976s | both these teams really went through |
| 16978s | that identity crisis together of just |
| 16980s | really starting off with the uh |
| 16983s | with the sigma |
| 16984s | and relying on void sigma and doom |
| 16987s | primarily then moving towards fate fates |
| 16989s | ball and winston to really find success |
| 16991s | after those first two matches and ever |
| 16993s | since they lost those first two matches |
| 16995s | against seoul and hongsho it's been |
| 16997s | smooth sailing for the shanghai dragons |
| 17000s | yeah the overarching theme of the |
| 17001s | overwatch leaguers who moved from like |
| 17003s | week two to week three of mid-season |
| 17004s | madness qualifier seemed to be uh oh |
| 17006s | winston it isn't terrible it we we all |
| 17009s | thought that he was dead in the water |
| 17010s | but turns out he can still do quite a |
| 17013s | bit when it comes to controlling space |
| 17014s | with that bubble in those dives fate in |
| 17016s | particular very accomplished on the |
| 17018s | winston one of the longest running |
| 17020s | competitors that we actually have |
| 17022s | in the overwatch league he is a survivor |
| 17024s | lemon from immortals gaming club and |
| 17027s | even further before that over in korea |
| 17029s | he was one of the first korean imports |
| 17031s | ever procured by a north american team |
| 17033s | before the overwatch league |
| 17035s | infrastructure came into place it was |
| 17037s | actually i think fate and envy who are |
| 17039s | picked up by immortals as a tanking duo |
| 17041s | and he's got such a veteran presence |
| 17043s | that he rarely cracks under pressure and |
| 17045s | i think that's part of a reason why |
| 17047s | shanghai can clutch out so many |
| 17048s | scenarios and speaking of that cracking |
| 17050s | under pressure i look at someone like |
| 17052s | lib who had to lead in that soldier meta |
| 17054s | and had like that slower start and |
| 17056s | really rose to the occasion and is doing |
| 17058s | so either on ash or on so during the |
| 17061s | season i know the desk loves talking |
| 17063s | about lip and his potential for this |
| 17064s | team and statistically lip at the top of |
| 17068s | his game when it comes to ash number one |
| 17069s | in hero damage and number one infused |
| 17072s | death so this is someone who is |
| 17073s | consistently adding to the equation and |
| 17076s | less taking away from it and he gets to |
| 17078s | play with more of flutter uh this stage |
| 17082s | versus who are you from the kickoff |
| 17083s | clash qualifiers |
| 17085s | all right let's go from shanghai dragons |
| 17087s | to uh their ex so let's bring up our |
| 17089s | dallas fuel starters because when you |
| 17091s | think about the dallas seal starters one |
| 17093s | of our first people comes to mind is of |
| 17094s | course fearless previously the secret |
| 17097s | source of shanghai dragons in season |
| 17100s | three really was a difference maker in |
| 17102s | fact was part of a infamous reverse |
| 17103s | sweep in one of her first uh inter |
| 17106s | uh one of the first tournaments that we |
| 17108s | actually had in overwatch league the |
| 17109s | first main melee against seoul dynasty |
| 17112s | and fearless is probably one of the best |
| 17114s | winston players in the world it's no |
| 17116s | surprise that with winston coming back |
| 17118s | into vogue that fearless starts to take |
| 17120s | more of a frontlining role for dallas |
| 17122s | fuel but also fearless has really |
| 17124s | impressed me recently with his uh with |
| 17126s | his aptitude on for doomfist being able |
| 17128s | to figure out all the best techs to try |
| 17130s | and control players and also look for |
| 17132s | environmental kills which in on quite a |
| 17134s | few maps is an underrated part of |
| 17136s | doomfist's current kit with the ability |
| 17138s | to knock back multiple people with one |
| 17140s | charged punch |
| 17141s | and just the whole tank situation with |
| 17143s | fuel was part of that identity crisis |
| 17144s | that you're we mentioned already where |
| 17147s | they started with fearless doom and then |
| 17149s | reinhardt then they even experimented |
| 17151s | with how do we integrate hon bin in then |
| 17153s | they played ryan and sigma for him and |
| 17156s | those were all types of question marks |
| 17157s | they even had that same 0-6 start that |
| 17159s | the shanghai dragons had and then they |
| 17162s | did a lot of han bin ball and sigma and |
| 17165s | finally found success with fearless as |
| 17168s | their primary tank on most of the maps |
| 17170s | either sporting the winston |
| 17172s | uh or the hammond but the issue for fuel |
| 17175s | i think in this meta has been really |
| 17176s | developing |
| 17178s | a top-tier sojourn and tracer this meta |
| 17181s | and it was really looking at guerilla |
| 17183s | and edison to trade off on the sojourn |
| 17185s | and then sparkle to really own that |
| 17187s | tracer role where i would say he's more |
| 17189s | known for his genji pop-offs and then |
| 17191s | they've been leaning more into that but |
| 17193s | i like that just fuel have been |
| 17194s | developing these rookie players to a |
| 17196s | level that is matching all the other |
| 17198s | teams making them more competitive this |
| 17200s | patch |
| 17201s | yeah dallas fuel and shanghai dragons uh |
| 17204s | this is a rivalry lemon that is very |
| 17206s | familiar to those who've been watching |
| 17209s | overwatch league at least last year |
| 17211s | here's a |
| 17212s | bunch of the |
| 17213s | showdowns we've seen between these two |
| 17215s | teams in playoff scenarios over the last |
| 17218s | couple years of course there were quite |
| 17219s | a few meetings in our previous run of |
| 17222s | hawaii events in 2021 and dallas fuel |
| 17226s | last season was kind of their |
| 17228s | renaissance |
| 17230s | it feels like we spent a lot of money to |
| 17232s | procure some of these element mystic |
| 17234s | alumni from places like paris eternal uh |
| 17237s | rush was the biggest acquisition of |
| 17239s | course like you pick up the famous |
| 17240s | element mystic coach and it feels like |
| 17243s | with rush comes a lot of |
| 17246s | sort of player deference where they will |
| 17248s | pick to go to dallas fuel as a team |
| 17250s | simply to work with rash who is one of |
| 17252s | the most accomplished coaches in the |
| 17254s | entirety of overwatch league or in the |
| 17257s | entirety of overwatch in fact because |
| 17259s | obviously never watch contingency at his |
| 17261s | moment in the sun as well on the other |
| 17262s | side you have coach moon right who |
| 17265s | let's be |
| 17266s | real he has an overwatch league title |
| 17268s | nothing can take that away from him that |
| 17270s | is the largest accolade that a coach can |
| 17272s | get especially you can get it twice like |
| 17273s | krusty but also moon |
| 17276s | has uh |
| 17279s | a less impressive title of |
| 17282s | we are owen seven los angeles valium |
| 17285s | 2019 the goats meta |
| 17288s | moon was slow to adapt there were a |
| 17290s | couple of members of a team who didn't |
| 17291s | get the proper usage because they were a |
| 17292s | little bit too smart in some cases |
| 17295s | and i think the coach moon and coach |
| 17297s | rush both are part of the critical team |
| 17299s | identities that i talked about here when |
| 17301s | it comes to slow starts in new messes |
| 17303s | both of them are better at perfecting a |
| 17304s | meta or making the |
| 17307s | skill sets of their rosters fit best |
| 17310s | into what's most strong |
| 17312s | with any given patch like we see people |
| 17315s | moving in towards the winston etc and i |
| 17318s | think the shanghai dragons and dallas |
| 17319s | fuel there's a bit of friendly rivalry |
| 17321s | between coach rush and coach moon which |
| 17323s | uh is going to put a little bit on the |
| 17325s | line today and i want to go back to what |
| 17327s | the desk said as well about dallas fuel |
| 17330s | and currently wondering what their |
| 17331s | identity is and i think it it very much |
| 17334s | lies in the tempo that was brought up |
| 17337s | dallas fuel are a ridiculously fast team |
| 17339s | they just want to go faster faster |
| 17341s | faster break the enemy calms down and |
| 17344s | make sure that there's no understanding |
| 17346s | of when and where these fights are gonna |
| 17348s | happen because dallasfield will take a |
| 17349s | fight in a weird place just to be able |
| 17350s | to go in and punch you in the face and |
| 17353s | in particular when it comes to shanghai |
| 17354s | dragons i'm worried that maybe li jaegon |
| 17357s | might be easier to catch out in these |
| 17360s | fast fights because he's known to be a |
| 17361s | little bit of a wild card when he's on |
| 17363s | the main support |
| 17365s | yeah i mean speaking of main supports |
| 17366s | both these teams running just that ligi |
| 17368s | gone on a lot of lucio chio as well this |
| 17371s | kind of facilitates those rotations and |
| 17373s | that speed you're talking about speaking |
| 17375s | of speed shanghai dragons had a swift |
| 17378s | 3-0 victory spoiler against the toronto |
| 17381s | defiant yesterday so just the advantage |
| 17384s | of dallas fuel being in the second round |
| 17386s | yeah they got the last pick you know |
| 17387s | that's there's no advantage there you |
| 17389s | end up with the scraps of the team no |
| 17391s | one wants to face which is the shanghai |
| 17392s | dragons very very much looking strong |
| 17395s | but the disadvantage of shanghai already |
| 17397s | have been playing is that they've |
| 17399s | already started to reveal their hand now |
| 17402s | dallas fuel haven't had that chance yet |
| 17404s | but yesterday we saw the shanghai |
| 17406s | dragons play a lot of fake ball |
| 17409s | fled on the tracer who had an amazing |
| 17411s | performance and when flutter wasn't on |
| 17413s | the tracer we saw him on the echo but we |
| 17416s | didn't see a special person who are you |
| 17419s | has not really been playing it's been |
| 17421s | lip by uh fled aside rocking the sojourn |
| 17425s | and also the ash which is a hero that i |
| 17427s | guess is unique to the style and |
| 17430s | interpretation of the meta when it comes |
| 17431s | to aipac there's kind of like we've been |
| 17434s | talking about how ash is like this |
| 17436s | budget sojourn in a way |
| 17438s | of consistent damage you have a bit of |
| 17441s | high ground a bit of mobility but mainly |
| 17443s | you don't have to charge up your shot |
| 17445s | when it comes to ash yeah maybe you |
| 17446s | don't have the sparker ace type of |
| 17448s | potential on ash but you can still get |
| 17451s | crazy picks so expect lip to kind of |
| 17453s | hover between the sojourn and the ash |
| 17456s | but we will be getting into a match soon |
| 17459s | looks like we do have some issues so |
| 17461s | we're just gonna get everybody settled |
| 17463s | we're gonna throw it to our break show |
| 17464s | you guys some content and we'll see you |
| 17466s | for map one |
| 17475s | [Music] |
| 17485s | [Music] |
| 17523s | [Music] |

| 17561s | [Music] |
| 17580s | [Music] |
| 17626s | [Music] |
| 17652s | aloha everyone we're back from the break |
| 17654s | and we're about to head into map number |
| 17656s | one speaking of which we should really |
| 17659s | talk about how dallas fuel |
| 17661s | they had not only the chance to choose |
| 17663s | their opponent the last one remaining |
| 17665s | but most importantly choosing the first |
| 17667s | map so they got something out of this |
| 17669s | deal |
| 17670s | yeah coming into our map set here oasis |
| 17673s | is for number four seed that's all that |
| 17674s | dallas you're really got to uh pick |
| 17676s | going into this match and oasis is going |
| 17678s | to be quite interesting here because i |
| 17680s | think it's going to lend dallas fuel a |
| 17682s | little bit more credence behind the |
| 17684s | doomfist a couple of these maps are |
| 17685s | quite narrow and they provide a little |
| 17687s | bit less space for fake to play on the |
| 17689s | wrecking ball in particular i'm thinking |
| 17690s | about university where the wrecking ball |
| 17692s | can have a little bit of an issue having |
| 17695s | good pathing simply because two of the |
| 17697s | areas where wrecking ball has to move |
| 17699s | through have very little cover he has to |
| 17701s | try and play around the outside instead |
| 17702s | and that's where fearless can be at his |
| 17704s | best on doomfist trying to knock people |
| 17706s | off the edge |
| 17708s | excited to see if it could be winston or |
| 17711s | hammond and maybe even some fake |
| 17714s | doomfist so it's all about that initial |
| 17716s | high ground control and there's actually |
| 17717s | a statistic about how important that |
| 17718s | first fight is for control |
| 17722s | as we wait to see the dps picks as well |
| 17724s | i know sparkle has been looking amazing |
| 17726s | on the genji so far and it's about where |
| 17728s | does edison fit into this equation where |
| 17731s | on the other side he has what guerrilla |
| 17732s | that can replace him or kind of |
| 17734s | interchange and that's all about edison |
| 17736s | providing the opportunity to also go |
| 17738s | tracer as we have a dive with the reaper |
| 17741s | lucio moira from fuel |
| 17743s | okay this is something a little bit new |
| 17745s | from the side of the |
| 17747s | medal show or actually something a |
| 17748s | little bit old to be honest there's some |
| 17750s | returning it's about reaper and fate |
| 17752s | here might not be expecting this and |
| 17754s | there's no real armor on the doomfist to |
| 17756s | mitigate those incoming shotgun damages |
| 17759s | oh that didn't work out and let gets to |
| 17760s | get charged up off the tank and just |
| 17762s | shoot sparkle in his face but 4v5 you |
| 17765s | can make a work not with that double |
| 17767s | empty that is a yaki just hit and that's |
| 17769s | how important that first fight is |
| 17772s | they get hit by the ante but they just |
| 17774s | disengage and they manage to keep their |
| 17775s | supports alive so lip in trouble too he |
| 17779s | gets picked off sparkle on the chase |
| 17781s | going after fleta chio gets the finish |
| 17783s | and you will get the cap first but |
| 17785s | without fearless you don't have that |
| 17786s | good initiator but you do have the rest |
| 17788s | of the team alive |
| 17790s | yeah that works out in the end for |
| 17791s | dallas fearless and edison moving |
| 17793s | through together allowing edison to |
| 17794s | actually stay in the fight for longer |
| 17796s | using the winston bubble so he doesn't |
| 17797s | have to use that ray form as early is |
| 17799s | critical for dallas fuel because that |
| 17801s | means that fielder has a lot more time |
| 17803s | to build up towards the coalescence as |
| 17805s | well by putting out huge amounts of aoe |
| 17807s | healing on that dive as it arrives and |
| 17809s | you see sparkle actually moved from the |
| 17810s | genji as well so with tracing that's a |
| 17812s | much better match up against the echo |
| 17814s | flood on the flank fuel pinch from both |
| 17817s | sides fielder able to keep everyone |
| 17819s | healed up and maybe help them |
| 17820s | coalescence out but |
| 17822s | i mean fuel took pressure but it doesn't |
| 17825s | seem like they're really dying they got |
| 17827s | field they lost fielder and flutter well |
| 17829s | he was the only one pitch at the one |
| 17831s | angle so fearless was able to clear the |
| 17832s | one round and there is edison clearing |
| 17834s | the rest of the road that blossom which |
| 17837s | we haven't even seen much of since like |
| 17839s | the kickoff clash so few will hold on to |
| 17841s | the point but not really having a lot of |
| 17844s | members remaining to defend it |
| 17846s | yeah fate is going to try and take |
| 17848s | advantage of that by moving up and |
| 17849s | claiming an advanced position he's |
| 17851s | actually getting harassed by these |
| 17852s | supports at the moment might actually |
| 17853s | have to run away they aren't going to |
| 17854s | charge up the fist which might be a |
| 17856s | touchful hardy as the meteor strike has |
| 17858s | to be invested simply to claim some |
| 17860s | safety is for coalescers to carve |
| 17862s | through multiple members of dragons |
| 17866s | sparkle gets a double pulse bomb while |
| 17868s | the dragon's club we're trying to run |
| 17870s | away this is almost a flawless round for |
| 17873s | fuel and they have alts to spare |
| 17875s | i want to give you a little bit of |
| 17876s | credit for that previous engagement as |
| 17877s | well where they actually forced out |
| 17879s | fates punch onto fearless to make sure |
| 17881s | that edison couldn't be easily stunned |
| 17883s | out of that death blossom and they also |
| 17884s | put down the winston bubble as well so |
| 17886s | that the sleep can be delivered huge uh |
| 17888s | accommodating of those stuns from dallas |
| 17891s | okay last fight for dragons they have |
| 17894s | overclocked they have dupe leather likes |
| 17896s | to go after those tanks we'll see if he |
| 17898s | can connect it's a sounder engage fuel |
| 17900s | taking the initiative fearless with the |
| 17902s | primal he has all the health and the |
| 17904s | shields in the world and the dragon's |
| 17906s | already down too liv didn't even have |
| 17907s | the opportunity to use overclock because |
| 17910s | you know he delivers on it and dragons |
| 17912s | haven't delivered us a single kill and |
| 17914s | this that's why it's not very exciting |
| 17915s | they did try to flip the point to |
| 17917s | relieve the pressure from the front line |
| 17919s | but not a single kill earned from the |
| 17922s | dragons but a hundred to zero around for |
| 17924s | the dallas fuel |
| 17926s | yeah it pops the overclocking spawn but |
| 17928s | at this point lemon it's all but |
| 17930s | hypothetical for the hit scan player the |
| 17933s | desk lorded lip as the best player in |
| 17935s | the lobby but when it comes to the team |
| 17937s | movements dallas fuel |
| 17939s | they had an identity in kickoff clash it |
| 17942s | was about visaya and the reaper but the |
| 17945s | real defining factor about dallas fuel |
| 17948s | is that they are a hive mind they do not |
| 17950s | have five separate brains they are all |
| 17952s | plugged into the rush matrix like he's |
| 17954s | playing in rts and it seems like they |
| 17956s | finally have once again |
| 17958s | found the mojo to move and act together |
| 17962s | as a singular voltron team |
| 17965s | we've seen dallas will run this exact |
| 17967s | proposition and strategy against the ny |
| 17969s | excel uh just a couple of weeks ago with |
| 17972s | the lucio warren they play as a clump |
| 17974s | and as a unit and dragons hope this you |
| 17977s | know divide and conquer this and how |
| 17979s | will they fuel first to get the high |
| 17981s | ground control flutter always on that |
| 17983s | off angle just like he was before but he |
| 17986s | has to be careful if he tries to solo |
| 17987s | that without a mercy pocket because |
| 17989s | he'll need to go back four packs from |
| 17991s | lee jae gonzo he's being a little bit |
| 17993s | more connected in that way sparkle might |
| 17995s | be in dash range he wants to go after |
| 17997s | flutter fate trying to keep this locked |
| 18000s | down on the right side fuel have the |
| 18002s | space to go for the point cap first |
| 18004s | dragon trying to prevent it there is a |
| 18006s | flank from the dragons that's fuel horde |
| 18008s | destroyer supports while they're |
| 18009s | unprotected fate is going after the |
| 18011s | backline and hasn't converted on any |
| 18013s | kills yet he's got great slows on the |
| 18015s | fielder and that's the execution fate |
| 18017s | was looking for fuel or left without |
| 18019s | support and they never captured the |
| 18022s | objective |
| 18023s | i think dallas uh fuel sparkle there in |
| 18026s | particular being a little bit hesitant |
| 18028s | with his usage of the dash to try and |
| 18029s | get those finishes when |
| 18031s | it meant that he essentially became a |
| 18033s | very weak poking dps on the genji and |
| 18036s | dallas fuel were unable to really |
| 18037s | leverage the massive advantage that they |
| 18039s | have when it comes to these comps and |
| 18040s | that is speed and that's what cheo's |
| 18042s | delivering on |
| 18044s | the uh on the lucio fields are actually |
| 18046s | getting that much healing out either |
| 18048s | sparkles already been picked off because |
| 18049s | lip has a much better poke set up here |
| 18051s | and dallas fuel can't really approach |
| 18053s | that easily yeah and when you play a |
| 18055s | shield tank like winston i know there's |
| 18056s | very few of them in this game but it |
| 18058s | just allows your sojourn to get much |
| 18060s | more energy and to find those random |
| 18061s | picks still splutta will be back |
| 18065s | we'll see dallas you'll get hit by an |
| 18067s | ante and fearless has to jump out you |
| 18069s | see chio is actually booping dragons |
| 18070s | away from trying to touch the point |
| 18073s | now the flip won't be going through |
| 18074s | quite yet fielder coalescence keeping |
| 18076s | fearless in the front dragons being |
| 18079s | warded away especially with fate gone |
| 18082s | and he's a yucky at one and fuel will |
| 18084s | get the flip in the fight with |
| 18086s | lija gone doing lucia gone things yes |
| 18089s | the frag is found but it is a longer |
| 18091s | staggering trust me that lucio is not |
| 18093s | going to be missing for long he's going |
| 18094s | to skate his way back over here and feel |
| 18096s | us now has access to his primal rage |
| 18098s | which is going to be really good for |
| 18100s | trying to make sure that fate's |
| 18101s | engagements are entirely way late so he |
| 18104s | can't find a huge amount of purchase |
| 18106s | from the positions he really wants to |
| 18108s | claim using those abilities |
| 18111s | i mean fuel could sound very engaged |
| 18112s | here if they want to shut down lip's |
| 18114s | opportunity on the overclock just like |
| 18115s | they did in the previous round |
| 18117s | initiative not found yet meteor strike |
| 18119s | fade is dangerously low below 200 hp but |
| 18122s | lip has the space the overclock |
| 18124s | activated in the sound barrier in |
| 18125s | response from chio |
| 18127s | and that's where the bubbles are placed |
| 18129s | and even the duplicate from flutter you |
| 18131s | have a second winston into play and this |
| 18134s | allows left to have some space to work |
| 18136s | with |
| 18136s | legion is down he's a yaki though he has |
| 18139s | to stay safe in this mini room to keep |
| 18141s | these members healed up but the bubble |
| 18143s | from fearless is blocking some line of |
| 18144s | sight fate has to play passive reconnect |
| 18147s | with the supports the point still in |
| 18149s | control of the phallus fuel as they |
| 18151s | re-engage back into many rooms to zone |
| 18153s | off those supports from the dragons and |
| 18155s | that's when sparkle can finish off all |
| 18157s | these low hp targets and fuel continue |
| 18159s | to be in the driver's seat but |
| 18162s | overextended a little bit lost edison |
| 18164s | and another in the engage so here comes |
| 18167s | dragons once again |
| 18168s | that's what apac teams love to do they |
| 18170s | love to continue brawling never give up |
| 18172s | a fight felix finally gets himself upon |
| 18174s | that point of the coalition's gonna back |
| 18175s | him up can this be interrupted yes it |
| 18177s | can excellent stun from fate but he does |
| 18179s | go low for it |
| 18180s | all the nano's available he's iak he |
| 18182s | usually likes to give it to fade but |
| 18184s | anyone who's in a great spot and it has |
| 18186s | a great opportunity and a great shot of |
| 18187s | the sparkle fuel are down three and |
| 18190s | there's no chance they can complete this |
| 18192s | the way they wanted to they'll have to |
| 18193s | give this up they get it to 98 so fueler |
| 18196s | within one fight territory before taking |
| 18199s | the map |
| 18200s | all right here i want to see shanghai |
| 18202s | dragons uh |
| 18204s | be a little bit more economical with |
| 18205s | their ultimate dallas fuel if they take |
| 18207s | an eco fight here they might be able to |
| 18209s | force out both for meteor strike and |
| 18211s | banana boost from shanghai dragons event |
| 18213s | have a clean potential final fight and |
| 18216s | 99 to 99 overtime |
| 18219s | gauge from fuel sparkle copies the |
| 18221s | doomfist and is instantly shot down by |
| 18223s | lip who got nano by izayaki dragons |
| 18226s | played reactively there edison misses |
| 18228s | the pulse was aiming for lee jaegong and |
| 18230s | dragons are still healthy and fine they |
| 18233s | buy themselves time and they need it |
| 18235s | because they still got 20 more percent |
| 18236s | to go |
| 18238s | oh man i asked for good economy and i've |
| 18240s | been blessed with some high tier gdp |
| 18242s | right here only one ultimate used and |
| 18243s | this was also used to generate the |
| 18245s | overclock and the other part's gonna be |
| 18247s | so good for keeping edison away and |
| 18249s | sparkle as well it's headshots galore |
| 18251s | for lip and guess what for dallas fuel |
| 18253s | that's once again back to the drawing |
| 18255s | board this is gonna have to be overtime |
| 18257s | or nothing and they're going up against |
| 18258s | a duplicate a meteor strike and the |
| 18260s | overclock with nothing to their name |
| 18263s | well edison has to touch here in a |
| 18264s | couple of seconds and fuel want to wait |
| 18266s | to take this fight until the last second |
| 18268s | they want chill back for the sound |
| 18270s | bearer chio has returned a 5v5 it's |
| 18273s | flutter copies the tracer and that's one |
| 18275s | of his best heroes he already forces the |
| 18277s | fade out of the fielder chio has his |
| 18278s | back with the sound barrier dallas fuel |
| 18280s | playing as a unit but fielder has been |
| 18283s | isolated fouled by lip the overclock |
| 18286s | popping off sled is still in tracer form |
| 18288s | the pulse bomb doesn't hit but dragons |
| 18290s | are still in a 5v3 fielder didn't even |
| 18292s | have a chance to use the coalescence and |
| 18295s | dragons at the last second the last mile |
| 18298s | were forced the round three now the |
| 18301s | second the shanghai dragons were in |
| 18302s | control of that point they found |
| 18304s | everything they wanted to alone because |
| 18305s | dallas fuel they don't want to invest |
| 18308s | that winston shield as they're commuting |
| 18311s | to the battle they want to be putting it |
| 18312s | down when they're on top of izuyaki are |
| 18314s | on top of fate to try and block off |
| 18316s | iziyaki's heels and that means that lip |
| 18318s | and flutter can freely pepper them with |
| 18320s | damage and fielder's coalescence |
| 18322s | honestly is not valuable enough an |
| 18324s | ultimate in many cases to be sort of |
| 18327s | uh denied by not giving over as much |
| 18330s | poke lip and flatter definitely want to |
| 18332s | be doing as much damage as possible so |
| 18333s | that fearless has to use resources |
| 18335s | before he needs to this is gonna be |
| 18337s | decided on city center dallas fuel once |
| 18340s | more will pick up the edgiest of all the |
| 18342s | edgelords with the reaper |
| 18345s | this went really well for fuel on that |
| 18347s | first round 100 to zero using that |
| 18351s | composition |
| 18353s | will be some high ground prioritization |
| 18355s | from fuel |
| 18356s | only but not fully committing looks like |
| 18360s | edison actually keeping to the other |
| 18361s | side the highway to see if he can catch |
| 18363s | dragons looking at the front line of |
| 18365s | fuel edison exposed himself finds flood |
| 18368s | already half hp lip just sprayed it to |
| 18370s | edison diaz it died then you got a five |
| 18373s | on three this is an easy cloud for fuel |
| 18376s | now they get a formal charge |
| 18378s | wicked slide bro |
| 18380s | excellent stuff and that was just really |
| 18382s | good communications and pinging there |
| 18383s | from dallas field forcing flutter to |
| 18385s | leave for sky by i assume a conflux of |
| 18388s | poke from fearless's right click and |
| 18390s | maybe fielder getting up on top of the |
| 18392s | pavilion and using robotic grasp because |
| 18394s | dallas fuel don't really have a well uh |
| 18397s | a reliable way of getting rid of flutter |
| 18400s | in the sky so florida's got to make use |
| 18402s | of that space and not be caught when |
| 18404s | he's low disengaging |
| 18405s | oh edison is in such a cool position on |
| 18408s | highway side and fuel kind of have this |
| 18409s | split push where dragons have to figure |
| 18411s | out who can they punish and edison is |
| 18413s | always within wraith range |
| 18415s | fate healed back up it's got the power |
| 18418s | block fearless disengaging and city |
| 18420s | center is definitely a point where you |
| 18421s | can just stall and soft disengage all |
| 18423s | the time and really get up to 99 percent |
| 18425s | quite easily dragons need a decisive |
| 18428s | fight flutter in the back focusing beam |
| 18430s | out but sparkle dashes meanwhile you're |
| 18432s | left with a four run four easy yaki has |
| 18434s | a nano legion gone he's taking too much |
| 18436s | pressure once lij going to carry his |
| 18438s | team to victory now that he has the |
| 18440s | rally needed that sustained the nano |
| 18443s | damage mitigation to live fuel still |
| 18446s | hoarded away the storm we got a three on |
| 18448s | two on the point favoring the dragons |
| 18450s | with a leftover rally from lee jaegon |
| 18452s | and as long as you pack faith he can |
| 18454s | gate keep the stairs and fuel don't have |
| 18456s | a moment to engage without fearless |
| 18458s | fearless getting out however gave |
| 18459s | fielder all the charge he needed from a |
| 18461s | coalescence but once more i'm looking to |
| 18463s | fight to try and cancel this it's |
| 18464s | combined with the blade it's beams and |
| 18466s | blades all over lemon yeah the |
| 18468s | coalescence to get all the targets slow |
| 18470s | and sparkle to get dash resets but there |
| 18472s | was so much healing from the rally of |
| 18474s | legion contact |
| 18476s | not a lot of reset the sparkle still was |
| 18478s | able to live can't say the same about |
| 18479s | edison 5v4 now the dragons with the copy |
| 18482s | flutter for the winston primal rage gone |
| 18484s | in a second fuel needing to flip back |
| 18487s | this point but deciding that you know a |
| 18489s | 3v5 is just not worth it so dallas will |
| 18492s | will reset |
| 18493s | legion really is the stop gap here and |
| 18496s | the thing is izuki he's having some |
| 18498s | pretty easy time hitting some of these |
| 18500s | aunties onto players like fioda and chio |
| 18502s | once those initial cooldowns like the |
| 18504s | fade of a bubble have been used izayaki |
| 18506s | is essentially home free if he survives |
| 18508s | that initial engagement and that's why |
| 18509s | fate's playing more of appealing |
| 18510s | doomfist to not thank these assailants |
| 18513s | i'm waiting for the timing of the sound |
| 18514s | bear chio uses it to engage caught the |
| 18516s | support of the dragons against the wall |
| 18518s | quite literally and they could afford a |
| 18520s | kill on the easy yucky and legit gone |
| 18522s | within the stars if you want a great |
| 18523s | position they just got to keep fielder |
| 18525s | alive but fielder was caught using fade |
| 18527s | and fate had the hunt down so neither |
| 18530s | team have supports and were left with a |
| 18532s | three on two dallas fuel though |
| 18534s | dangerously low they had the numbers but |
| 18537s | no longer it's two to split the reaper |
| 18540s | of edison looking at fate as fleta hopes |
| 18543s | to fly away now the supports of dragons |
| 18546s | are back and fielder can throw an orb as |
| 18548s | well from the fuel side this is an |
| 18550s | extended fight that dragons are |
| 18552s | benefiting from |
| 18553s | and is the ackee has for nano good to go |
| 18555s | additional survivability additional |
| 18557s | damage for last time it went on to lee |
| 18559s | jaegon and was able to mace their way |
| 18560s | through the entirety of dallas fuel |
| 18562s | stack once more lee jaegon's mace is a |
| 18565s | shine in lemon oh i don't think fearless |
| 18567s | want that smoke though that's a nano |
| 18568s | brigitte that's the ultimate boss of |
| 18570s | overwatch too and he found out the hard |
| 18572s | way now the rally starts and dragons are |
| 18574s | 5v3 |
| 18576s | dragons are so good at identifying when |
| 18578s | fielder use uses fade you bring out the |
| 18581s | mortar for that survivability but the |
| 18583s | fuel are dead in the water and dragons |
| 18586s | we'll take map one |
| 18588s | in the end lemon it's a level one moira |
| 18590s | versus a level 100 brig boss who just |
| 18593s | manages to cleave through all who stand |
| 18595s | in her way the winston shield means |
| 18598s | nothing the damage of a reaper means |
| 18601s | nothing and fate kudos to him it's |
| 18604s | mostly been the ball so far and dallas |
| 18607s | fuel picked oasis i think in the hope |
| 18610s | that the ball would be less effective |
| 18612s | here swapping over to the doomfist |
| 18614s | instead and playing it in a wonderful |
| 18617s | peeling manner to make sure that yaki |
| 18619s | had space to survive against these big |
| 18621s | onslaught dallas fuel hand while it did |
| 18624s | begin in a grandiose manner it's ended |
| 18627s | with a little bit of a puff the fuel is |
| 18629s | starting to run out we'll see if it can |
| 18631s | be reignited after this break |

| 18892s | what's up everyone mid-season madness |
| 18894s | has been a banger and that first match |
| 18897s | went the distance uh first map i should |
| 18899s | say round three all the way down that |
| 18901s | was dallas fuels pick by the way on |
| 18902s | oasis and they brought out the strats |
| 18904s | the ace up the sleeve has come out the |
| 18906s | edison reaper of all things so dallas |
| 18909s | fear dallas fuel sure know how to change |
| 18911s | things up and we have some substitutions |
| 18913s | speaking of changes we got babe in for |
| 18915s | lee jaegon |
| 18917s | uh |
| 18918s | and we have guerrilla in |
| 18920s | for |
| 18921s | edison |
| 18923s | both of these are curious lemon as |
| 18925s | they are hallmarks of the previous less |
| 18929s | effective attempts |
| 18931s | at uh mities and mandela's qualifiers |
| 18933s | success of his team's hand gurio over |
| 18936s | the last couple of matches which dallas |
| 18938s | you'll have played very well has kind of |
| 18940s | been phased out on the sojourn in favor |
| 18941s | of edison and bay bay was part of the |
| 18944s | void experiment for shanghai dragons but |
| 18947s | babe being bought in here in the place |
| 18949s | of li jaegon you've got to expect that |
| 18951s | we're going to be seeing what we'd call |
| 18952s | a double flex support in the more |
| 18953s | antiquated term maybe playing a little |
| 18955s | bit more of the anna or the back |
| 18957s | alongside this iaki who'd likely be |
| 18959s | playing a zenyatta and gurio well he's a |
| 18963s | really good flick scan bloody good at |
| 18965s | things like widowmaker ash and of course |
| 18968s | for sojourn as well but dallas fuel was |
| 18970s | sort of hinting at how much they liked |
| 18971s | edison sojourn recently so i'm wondering |
| 18973s | if this is more of a lean towards |
| 18975s | something like an ash because of course |
| 18977s | we have that kind of trifecta at the |
| 18978s | moment of the ash the sojourn of a hanzo |
| 18982s | each fulfilling a slightly different |
| 18983s | role |
| 18985s | absolutely yeah guerrilla definitely |
| 18986s | kind of the ranged hit scan edison i |
| 18988s | guess now i was talking about the tracer |
| 18991s | option i didn't how could i ever forget |
| 18993s | about reaper |
| 18994s | but we just haven't seen this patch |
| 18996s | there's so many other options so we |
| 18998s | going to get we go into map two this is |
| 19001s | chosen by the fuel because they have |
| 19003s | lost map one their choice how could they |
| 19005s | they had the strat book out though this |
| 19007s | wasn't thick enough but we go to midtown |
| 19010s | and |
| 19011s | i gotta say this is maybe a weakness for |
| 19013s | the shanghai dragons because the last |
| 19016s | time they went to midtown it was against |
| 19018s | the chengdu hunters a couple weeks ago |
| 19020s | and they got full health by chengdu on |
| 19024s | this map so not sure if fuel are playing |
| 19026s | into their strengths but also playing |
| 19027s | into dragon's weaknesses |
| 19030s | maybe dallas field have been watching |
| 19031s | the tape trying to figure out what |
| 19034s | shanghai dragons trying to achieve here |
| 19036s | i do believe that uh shanghai dragons |
| 19038s | probably going to be uh attacking first |
| 19040s | i'm not entirely sure uh as we roll over |
| 19043s | here one of the places i want to really |
| 19044s | draw attention to lemon is second point |
| 19047s | and how |
| 19048s | powerful it can be |
| 19050s | as a defensive bulwark if you're playing |
| 19052s | either winston or reinhardt if you're |
| 19054s | playing reinhardt you can really deny so |
| 19057s | much space to an attacking team if you |
| 19058s | win the first fight on second we've seen |
| 19060s | london spitfire do it again and again |
| 19062s | and if you're playing with defensive |
| 19063s | winston where we currently are on camera |
| 19065s | at the moment that |
| 19066s | green tarp high ground is really a |
| 19069s | fantastic place for a winston to hang |
| 19071s | out and generate a crossfire with |
| 19073s | supports who would be hanging out on the |
| 19075s | other side who are just sitting on the |
| 19077s | bridge freely poking away and winston |
| 19079s | takes a lot of resources to dislodge |
| 19081s | from that area |
| 19083s | it feels like we saw just so much lee |
| 19085s | jaegon raid boss last map that is baby |
| 19088s | filling those shoes not now because |
| 19090s | there is no anna he's coming in to play |
| 19091s | lucio with these yaki's brig at least |
| 19094s | for now off the gates we shall see |
| 19096s | dragons last time they played this map |
| 19097s | you know the full health part uh it was |
| 19099s | ball tracer sojourn zen brig and this |
| 19102s | wasn't with baby in so they we'll see if |
| 19105s | dragons really learned from their |
| 19106s | mistakes and their weaknesses with a new |
| 19109s | substitute and with a similar type of |
| 19111s | comp sugaria was playing ash after all |
| 19114s | and one of the main strengths of the ash |
| 19116s | is that she can force out a flanker |
| 19117s | quite easily if they're playing solo |
| 19119s | using that dynamite and deny the |
| 19121s | spacecraft whose dps can generate an |
| 19123s | overwatch too when they aren't as |
| 19124s | heavily contested by tanks on an |
| 19126s | individual level you can see that lip |
| 19128s | already has a charged up railgun to go |
| 19130s | and this is going to be one of the |
| 19130s | things that fearless has to be cognizant |
| 19132s | of not giving over easy rail charge with |
| 19135s | his bubble |
| 19137s | yeah on oasis i mean lip was definitely |
| 19139s | part |
| 19140s | of some of the success you know |
| 19142s | getting those first shots with the |
| 19144s | sojourn but hasn't connected on anything |
| 19146s | yet fuel trying to cut off those |
| 19147s | rotations from dragons maybe going left |
| 19149s | side but fearless gets punished |
| 19150s | charlotte is charged up off the shield |
| 19152s | walks in and finishes them off and |
| 19154s | without that winston puehler just left |
| 19156s | to either hope that they can flank with |
| 19158s | sparkle or guerrilla can get a pick from |
| 19160s | range and at least sparkle delivers on |
| 19162s | the front with a double kill on to lip |
| 19164s | and flutter and gorilla got anted and |
| 19166s | got to one hp but dragons never executed |
| 19169s | so |
| 19170s | they're left with having to reset |
| 19172s | no time required sometimes the guns just |
| 19174s | work lemon and sparkle's gonna be |
| 19176s | rewarded for a pulse bomb for his |
| 19178s | efforts as well shanghai dragons they |
| 19180s | expected so many resources to deal with |
| 19182s | fearless initial dive even after they |
| 19184s | killed him they were kind of fighting |
| 19185s | from behind in terms of the overall hp |
| 19187s | available and fate playing here with a |
| 19190s | anna and a wrecking ball is not the most |
| 19192s | common because the anna allows you to |
| 19194s | take some extended frontline fights with |
| 19196s | a huge amount of point healing she gives |
| 19197s | over but the wrecking ball is weak when |
| 19199s | he's taking extended fights because his |
| 19201s | guns simply aren't that strong |
| 19203s | you just ain't built like that so i |
| 19205s | understand so i've seen a lot of lift |
| 19208s | nanos in previous matches but if blood |
| 19210s | is in the right spot at the right time |
| 19211s | he can deliver two but look at the nano |
| 19213s | jumps up back hands fielder drops down |
| 19215s | goes after fearless and dragons already |
| 19218s | started off a five on three fight and |
| 19219s | that is more than enough to get the |
| 19221s | point off of just one ultimate that's |
| 19223s | sick |
| 19225s | that's some that's a good deal right |
| 19226s | there lemon that's a bargain for the |
| 19229s | shanghai dragons first point of midtown |
| 19231s | and now dallas fuel i want to see if |
| 19232s | they utilize the crossfire of having |
| 19234s | fearless play on that green tarp while |
| 19236s | fielder and chio can play in a much more |
| 19237s | reserved position alongside gurio this |
| 19239s | will allow sparkle to probably do a 3-2 |
| 19242s | split where they play a lot closer |
| 19244s | alongside fearless and likely given the |
| 19246s | harmony up to try and make some solo |
| 19249s | plays as well and you can see fearless |
| 19250s | here trying to control the area that i |
| 19252s | desperately wanted him to this is going |
| 19254s | to mean the shanghai dragons have to put |
| 19255s | some real effort into dislodging him and |
| 19257s | that's why |
| 19258s | he's up here i mean |
| 19260s | ghost at this point he's hung for |
| 19261s | something and fuel dropped down the nano |
| 19263s | to fearless and is about to squash baby |
| 19265s | if he's not careful but it's a ring |
| 19266s | around the roarsy and fearless gets |
| 19268s | impatient has to use the primal and it's |
| 19270s | just you know it's a good combo it's |
| 19272s | like peanut butter and jelly with the |
| 19273s | nano and the primal and that means |
| 19274s | fearless gets to make a montage out of |
| 19276s | it so two old fight win it's a |
| 19278s | successful equation for fuel income yeah |
| 19280s | from primal rage to hulking out kind of |
| 19282s | anger with banana huge amounts of damage |
| 19284s | done even with babe trying to ring |
| 19285s | around the rosie on that little pillar |
| 19287s | but you can see that fate is actually |
| 19289s | continuing to apply pressure in this |
| 19291s | position to try and make sure the |
| 19292s | shanghai dragons don't have to re-clear |
| 19294s | it on their next attack because that |
| 19295s | would take time and critical resources |
| 19298s | from your zen's attention span |
| 19300s | looks like fuel |
| 19302s | ready to be on the flank sparkle being |
| 19304s | checked by flutter who immediately |
| 19305s | recalls sparkles has come back here but |
| 19309s | carrillo can shot at a distance from |
| 19310s | flip and this could open things up for |
| 19312s | the dragons they do sleep the ball but |
| 19315s | immediately waking up and bears like who |
| 19316s | did that i'm reporting you but he gets |
| 19318s | on the other side of the cart he's chill |
| 19320s | finished off burned down dragons get a |
| 19321s | bit of space but it's about taking back |
| 19324s | the bridge control where fuel that's our |
| 19326s | secondary position to fall into pile |
| 19328s | drive from fate gets antied not slipped |
| 19330s | quite yet and he's half hp so he's going |
| 19332s | to keep the ball rolling fuel not giving |
| 19335s | up the bridge quite yet playing really |
| 19337s | passively sparkle doesn't have a pulse |
| 19339s | but he is going to try and flank every |
| 19340s | once in a while |
| 19342s | there's no generation here a second to |
| 19343s | none but it's made by who strikes first |
| 19345s | here it's given over to lip who's yet to |
| 19347s | pop the overclock it does force our |
| 19349s | transcendence from chio once that goes |
| 19350s | away maybe lift will be able to try and |
| 19352s | capitalize on this |
| 19354s | that's capitalization all right that's |
| 19356s | capital p for pain lemon |
| 19358s | the transcendence and the nano from |
| 19360s | dragons with only the transcendence from |
| 19362s | fuel so |
| 19363s | just a lot of time being trained and |
| 19365s | that's what i like to see from the |
| 19366s | defense of just if if the attack isn't |
| 19368s | getting car progression then fuel can |
| 19369s | just take the fight as slowly as |
| 19371s | possible they do lose it though so we'll |
| 19372s | see how this one next next one goes yeah |
| 19375s | dallas will have to be very careful they |
| 19376s | don't really have a good mind clearing |
| 19377s | utility apart from fearless bubble at |
| 19380s | this point and phyllis desperately needs |
| 19381s | that to take an engagement with baby to |
| 19383s | dance around lift avoids the incoming |
| 19385s | dive and lip just do not miss baby oh |
| 19389s | the pile drive into the shop by the |
| 19391s | sojourn and gorgeous and even the mind |
| 19393s | so if you'll have to sit there shoot |
| 19395s | mine the whole time but they gotta be |
| 19397s | contested and lip says well i wanna be |
| 19400s | on the cliffs of the week and he pops |
| 19402s | the overclock he's going after the |
| 19404s | reinforcements of fuel and this point b |
| 19407s | just got rolled by the dragons |
| 19411s | roasted and that's what field are having |
| 19413s | excellent nano generation as well i |
| 19415s | thought it was super impressive at |
| 19416s | fielder almost nano ready to go but |
| 19418s | fight after for nano dive from fearless |
| 19420s | actually won a fight for dallas fuel |
| 19422s | taking out babe early but dallas fuel |
| 19424s | are getting outpaced by shanghai dragons |
| 19426s | in so many respects which is uh sort of |
| 19429s | uncanny because dallas fuel are such a |
| 19430s | fast team but it's very rare to see them |
| 19433s | have to be the ones to catch an |
| 19434s | engagement but fate's getting such good |
| 19436s | advanced positioning that constantly you |
| 19438s | have to be mindful of dislodging fate |
| 19440s | and making sure he can't get a free ride |
| 19442s | onto chia |
| 19444s | we're just talking about that pressure |
| 19445s | that's on korea's shoulders who hasn't |
| 19447s | been able to compete against lip on this |
| 19449s | sojourn roll yet it's been lip all day |
| 19452s | with dragons they got two minutes i |
| 19454s | think fuel the way they play passive is |
| 19456s | to drain time but they're not it's not |
| 19458s | like they're winning either they're |
| 19459s | trading old and it's not coming out |
| 19461s | their way and it continues to go lips |
| 19463s | way he keeps getting first bloods this |
| 19466s | opens the window of opportunity a five |
| 19468s | on four but fearless the nanoprimal he's |
| 19470s | in the back he's going after baby now if |
| 19472s | only could locate him well he does dodge |
| 19474s | the sleep he's antied and now ball |
| 19477s | supports and flutter has entered the |
| 19479s | fray to beat fearless down the dragons |
| 19482s | can kind of regroup on the card and fuel |
| 19485s | don't want to take this without fearless |
| 19487s | buying a ticket to the zoo like we're |
| 19488s | literally going to beat you to death |
| 19490s | ain't madagascar anymore though lemon |
| 19492s | this is overwatch mid-season madness |
| 19495s | platter does not commit to the full |
| 19497s | fight |
| 19498s | on shio getting rid of that zen would be |
| 19500s | super important removing the classic |
| 19502s | flat trance |
| 19512s | a little bit just trying to stay alive |
| 19514s | in your spot how how dare he do that but |
| 19516s | dragons they got to win this quick they |
| 19518s | don't have baby very limited heels with |
| 19519s | the zenyatta speaking of which chio |
| 19521s | transcendence to anchor to the cart two |
| 19524s | meters away it's a bit of a waste not |
| 19526s | like anyone was healed but you stop the |
| 19528s | car from being capped it's up to |
| 19529s | fearless someone has to touch and he has |
| 19531s | to permanently be present there but |
| 19533s | there's mines from fate in the way now |
| 19534s | flutter has to be there a little bit of |
| 19537s | space thanks to fates mines and dragons |
| 19539s | have the fuels backed against the wall |
| 19542s | and they complete with 41 seconds on the |
| 19545s | clock all right ernesto entry frag also |
| 19548s | known as lit it felt like dallas field |
| 19550s | were permanently fighting a four versus |
| 19552s | five game here just because lip is so |
| 19554s | damn accurate when it comes to those |
| 19556s | railgun shots |
| 19557s | i'm getting flashes of shy in my mind |
| 19560s | but |
| 19561s | for my money it might even be better lit |
| 19563s | lip could be the premiere hit scan that |
| 19566s | we have in the league and according to |
| 19568s | shanghai dragons not even the best |
| 19570s | sojourn on the team i think i heard that |
| 19572s | they had a sojourn one versus one |
| 19574s | tournament when the hero was initially |
| 19576s | released and fletter was actually the |
| 19578s | one who won that and we've seen fletter |
| 19580s | absolutely dominate on the sojourn on |
| 19582s | maps like circuit royale when shanghai |
| 19583s | dragons can really overpower their |
| 19586s | opponents with double hitscan |
| 19588s | lip is overheating my laptop right now |
| 19590s | because he just went 16 and three on |
| 19593s | soju we were not capping when we said |
| 19596s | this guy was dominating on sojourn but |
| 19599s | you know fuel they they can sometimes |
| 19602s | crack under pressure but griot has |
| 19603s | performed on sojourn in our regular |
| 19606s | season matches and we get to go into a |
| 19608s | replay of one of the many of times that |
| 19610s | lip is doing his sparker impression just |
| 19612s | this map alone and even pops the |
| 19614s | overclock he headshots carrillo turns |
| 19617s | and burns on sparkle it goes after the |
| 19619s | back line and you don't even want to |
| 19620s | know what happens to fielder here do i |
| 19622s | have to even say it he dies by the way |
| 19625s | he dies he dies |
| 19627s | wicked stuff from lit sliding around |
| 19630s | dallas fuel now on their attack once |
| 19632s | more utilizing the lucio they are one of |
| 19634s | the few teams that uh do utilize a |
| 19636s | little bit more of a lucia but of course |
| 19637s | that's just for rollout shear swaps over |
| 19640s | to the zenyatta |
| 19642s | and this will allow for a little bit |
| 19643s | better poke fate's actually emoting at |
| 19645s | the moment in the laundromat |
| 19648s | just uh getting himself a little bit of |
| 19650s | that 3d peak and of course making sure |
| 19651s | that he's uh his white tees are |
| 19654s | completely clean |
| 19655s | i mean this |
| 19658s | dragons at least have been able to |
| 19659s | complete the map we said they got full |
| 19660s | held before look how the tides have |
| 19662s | turned and fearless gets burned alive he |
| 19665s | got 18 he got shot down by limp there |
| 19667s | was a trade fight sparkle while lift was |
| 19669s | focused down on fearless so you have a |
| 19670s | 4v4 but the engage |
| 19673s | is off but usually fearless who's |
| 19674s | actually turning to go towards a doing |
| 19676s | fizz to match fake just fearless just |
| 19679s | can't seem to survive all the bursts |
| 19681s | that dragons have |
| 19682s | you know the thing is we're fearless |
| 19683s | missing these engagements become more |
| 19685s | and more perilous for dallas fuel as |
| 19687s | they enter these crossfires chia was |
| 19689s | just a remnant of a attack long finished |
| 19692s | and was an easy pick up for those who |
| 19693s | remain |
| 19694s | fate charges up his fist and then simply |
| 19697s | leaves them and at the moment dallas |
| 19698s | fuel it's their time bank which they're |
| 19701s | wasting to uh paraphrase a teacher |
| 19704s | well you got a nano advantage i guess |
| 19706s | for dragons so |
| 19708s | usually giving this over to faye but |
| 19710s | we've seen it given to lift before you |
| 19711s | should give him a shiny sticker for how |
| 19713s | much lip is just his back has broken the |
| 19716s | deadlift happening |
| 19718s | he's got the nano crushes shio to death |
| 19720s | fielder well he's trying to land his |
| 19722s | sleeve but he's just the page is just so |
| 19724s | wiggly meanwhile uh i think baby hit his |
| 19726s | sleeve but unfortunately died so fuel |
| 19729s | it's their time bank is halfway gone |
| 19731s | and there's not much uh openings |
| 19733s | happening sparkle those creeping towards |
| 19735s | the point fearless engages the back line |
| 19737s | dragons disengaging towards spawn lift |
| 19740s | shows himself at the door and that's |
| 19742s | scary to do against zoomfist who still |
| 19744s | had nano now two minutes left for fuel |
| 19746s | they start that first take and the |
| 19748s | second dragons have the olds easy yaki |
| 19750s | is transcendence but do dragons think |
| 19752s | this is winnable it has to be fate uses |
| 19755s | the meter strike maybe to go towards the |
| 19756s | point you got a rail gun from lift the |
| 19759s | overclock trying to shoot down these |
| 19761s | supports and especially guerrilla who |
| 19763s | has to escape into top tunnel he's a |
| 19765s | yakis like let me lay this red carpet |
| 19767s | down for the transcendence right into |
| 19768s | the enemy team and fuel are just |
| 19770s | absolutely overwhelmed has have really |
| 19774s | lost control of the entire situation and |
| 19776s | fuel don't get the second tick |
| 19778s | yeah sparkler mister this was uh |
| 19780s | continuing to cap but unfortunately in |
| 19782s | the end dallas fuel there |
| 19785s | invested their nano which was one of |
| 19786s | their primary uh engagement tools simply |
| 19788s | to get the space and shanghai dragons |
| 19790s | had an excellent disengage is to put |
| 19792s | look at izzy yaki uh being a bit of a |
| 19794s | menace on the metro |
| 19796s | and of course |
| 19801s | i just love the transcendence and too |
| 19803s | i'm just repositioning to kick this |
| 19804s | other guy in the face |
| 19806s | i love that |
| 19808s | one minute though uh tables have clearly |
| 19810s | turned when shanghai dragons last time |
| 19811s | we saw this saw them on this map they |
| 19813s | got full held now fuel are one minute |
| 19815s | away from being full held on their very |
| 19818s | own choice attack they got four |
| 19820s | ultimates though if you'll don't get |
| 19821s | this done i'm just not gonna be a fuel |
| 19823s | believer anymore i don't know it'll be |
| 19825s | siri's point for shanghai dragons korea |
| 19827s | overclock at the ready get a charged up |
| 19830s | shot he had a chance to kill lip there |
| 19831s | you have a chance to make us korea |
| 19833s | believers but we'll wait until you pop |
| 19836s | the ultimate there's the initiative |
| 19837s | though from dragon's tread the nano |
| 19844s | through all of that and dallas fuel has |
| 19846s | to try and engage this in a three on |
| 19847s | four they kill baby so dragons have very |
| 19850s | limited heals they hope to just stall |
| 19852s | the sound until zyagi |
| 19854s | but clearly the dpos of dragons are |
| 19856s | doing more than enough to keep this |
| 19859s | stabilized |
| 19860s | and dallas was so desperate there they |
| 19861s | used all four of their ultimates chio |
| 19863s | finally swaps over to the lucio |
| 19866s | accelerando's on the menu the point it |
| 19868s | needs to be touched later slept sparkle |
| 19871s | is slain is a yucky says absolutely not |
| 19874s | this ends here two maps picked for |
| 19876s | dallas fuel and two maps lost in tandem |
| 19880s | oh my god yikes jinkies everyone i i was |
| 19884s | gonna give fuel a map or two i thought |
| 19886s | this was going the distance it's just |
| 19889s | dragons all day the full hold it look |
| 19892s | close on oasis and we still have more |
| 19894s | one more map to go i mean look at the |
| 19896s | confidence you have a flex support and |
| 19899s | transcending into your back line to kick |
| 19901s | you you got a body block on the fearless |
| 19904s | dragons are bringing out all types of |
| 19906s | new looks and it's just success all day |
| 19909s | long i can't wait to see where these |
| 19911s | teams end up in this tournament we're |
| 19913s | gonna throw it to a break when we get |
| 19915s | back we're on dallas fuels last life |

| 20197s | gamers get your pencils sharper than a |
| 20200s | lip rail flick there's no better time |
| 20202s | for now as a mid-season madness global |
| 20205s | tournament rages on submit your art |
| 20207s | celebrating the team or the region that |
| 20209s | you'd like to see win it all on the |
| 20211s | overwatch league fan art gallery lemon |
| 20214s | we certainly have two fan favorites here |
| 20216s | today but i don't think the dallas |
| 20218s | shield fans are going to be feeling |
| 20219s | pretty good about that midtown |
| 20221s | yeah let me pass you all a pretty ugly |
| 20223s | picture beautiful depending on which |
| 20225s | side of the coin you are or who you're a |
| 20227s | fan of dallas fuel are 0-2 in the series |
| 20230s | shanghai dragons on series point |
| 20233s | remember the winner of this gets the |
| 20235s | luxury of facing the shock the san |
| 20238s | francisco shock on thursday so i'm not |
| 20240s | sure how how great you're feeling about |
| 20241s | that but uh shanghai dragons one map |
| 20244s | away but it's fuel that choose to go to |
| 20245s | circuit and as we go to circuit you know |
| 20248s | who gets summoned here we got boyd we |
| 20251s | got han bin substituted in for tanks |
| 20255s | yeah boyden hundred coming in because |
| 20257s | sigma is love here on circuit royale |
| 20260s | lemon and uh well void and baby we're |
| 20263s | talking about how the uh initial |
| 20265s | shanghai dragons mid-season madness |
| 20267s | experiment did not go great with boyd |
| 20269s | and baby but it makes a lot more sense |
| 20270s | here on circle royale baby also i think |
| 20272s | winning one of their first maps in a |
| 20274s | while over on a midtown so uh excellent |
| 20278s | performance from him izzy yaki |
| 20280s | staying in i wonder if babe might be uh |
| 20283s | inclined to play a little bit brigitte |
| 20284s | here i think it's much more likely uh |
| 20288s | from the dallas fuel to play the |
| 20290s | brigitte here alongside sparkle on a |
| 20292s | genji if i was going to figure if i was |
| 20294s | going to postulate on what's going to |
| 20296s | happen between these two teams on |
| 20298s | shanghai dragons they're going to have |
| 20299s | lip and flutter play some kind of |
| 20300s | combination of double cycle of one on |
| 20302s | sodium the other one widowmaker likely |
| 20304s | and dallas fuel instead they're going to |
| 20306s | play a lot more for the sigma versus |
| 20308s | sigma match up with a brigita and likely |
| 20312s | a genji to try and overwhelm void before |
| 20315s | lip and flutter get their picks it's |
| 20317s | essentially a ticking time bomb when |
| 20319s | you're going up against the shanghai |
| 20320s | dragon snipers |
| 20321s | we've just seen new looks from both |
| 20323s | these teams including fate on the |
| 20325s | doomfist who is really not playing to |
| 20328s | play doomfist much at all this season we |
| 20330s | haven't even seen much of baby and here |
| 20332s | are the stats i mean most of fate's time |
| 20335s | on doomfist has been in the map you just |
| 20337s | saw and they want it |
| 20339s | and he has more time fearless on the |
| 20342s | doomfist so this is smash glass and and |
| 20345s | red alert in the in the fuel rooms right |
| 20347s | now um and even the shanghai dragons |
| 20350s | incorporate baby in a tournament setting |
| 20353s | where we've seen mostly him come in on |
| 20355s | the baptist in the regular season but he |
| 20357s | was on the ana so that izuyaki could be |
| 20360s | on the zen because it's usually yaki on |
| 20362s | the anna and beibei's saying it because |
| 20363s | of course you need a bat player on |
| 20365s | circuit royale where it's going to be |
| 20367s | poke central at least for our first |
| 20369s | point |
| 20370s | on second royale i do wonder if this |
| 20371s | might be a bit of a uh |
| 20374s | an over adjustment |
| 20376s | from the dallas fuel to try and make |
| 20377s | sure they won't be going up against a |
| 20379s | fake doomfist |
| 20380s | in my mind it feels like dallas fuel |
| 20382s | were planning for a lot more of a fake |
| 20384s | winston in the fake ball like you said a |
| 20387s | majority of the doomfist that fake has |
| 20388s | ever played in professional play have |
| 20390s | been in the last two maps the tape |
| 20393s | didn't really do much |
| 20394s | to give us an idea that fate would be |
| 20396s | coming into play this now dallas fuel |
| 20398s | are going to one of the few maps where |
| 20400s | the doomfist would be considered less of |
| 20401s | an optimal and you can kind of |
| 20403s | uh telegraph you're going up against the |
| 20406s | sigma at least |
| 20407s | however this does come with a trade-off |
| 20410s | but now you're going up against fletter |
| 20412s | and lip on a potential double sniper |
| 20414s | setup and to be honest if we're being |
| 20417s | brutal gurio didn't really hold a candle |
| 20419s | to it |
| 20420s | in uh midtown it was all lit all the |
| 20423s | time |
| 20425s | thanks my ears are bleeding dragons i |
| 20427s | get it for this to stop i get it |
| 20429s | i get it okay also we should also talk |
| 20432s | about what is accompanying said |
| 20434s | widowmaker who is usually a mainstay in |
| 20436s | this sparkles on the genji and usually |
| 20438s | you'll see anything from hanzo genji |
| 20440s | sojourn tracer there's so many options |
| 20442s | teams are going with but sparkle on the |
| 20444s | genji allows for quick dashes to really |
| 20447s | get in the faces of the enemy team get |
| 20450s | quick finishes and get out hopefully |
| 20452s | there is always a risk but the dallas |
| 20454s | fuel can play a lot more aggressive on |
| 20456s | that defense thanks to that flutter |
| 20458s | though he's on the sojourn |
| 20459s | one of the important things about that |
| 20460s | genji dash as well is that it does not |
| 20462s | get nullified by the kinetic grasp of |
| 20464s | the sigma neither does chios mace on the |
| 20466s | brigitte so if void uses that kinetic |
| 20468s | rast as a get out of jail card when you |
| 20471s | get super low they can be aggressed upon |
| 20473s | by the dallas fuel and potentially burn |
| 20475s | down okay here's the challenge sparkle |
| 20477s | dodge the giant meteors coming your way |
| 20479s | because that is the ultimate kryptonite |
| 20481s | to our superhero sparkle which fuel if |
| 20483s | there's one thing you can depend on it's |
| 20485s | sparkles genji he is turned around |
| 20488s | fights time and time again but if he |
| 20489s | gets rocked like that he could get first |
| 20491s | picked and that's just not this is not |
| 20492s | cash money fuel though they gave up a |
| 20494s | ton of space and i think that's because |
| 20496s | they're really worried about fled as one |
| 20496s | fleta's one-shot opportunity and the |
| 20499s | shield |
| 20500s | break happening for the dragons they've |
| 20502s | already picked off two they actually |
| 20504s | have control of the right side railing |
| 20506s | which gets great angles for someone like |
| 20508s | lip who's already had shot sparkle so |
| 20510s | sparkle can't be playing passive here |
| 20512s | because he's just gonna get poked down |
| 20514s | so if you'll have to be confident with |
| 20516s | this cop |
| 20518s | you have a poke here from dallas fuel uh |
| 20520s | or rather towards dallas you'll cannot |
| 20522s | be sustained for long especially with |
| 20523s | the limited overall healing throughput |
| 20526s | of a prageeta who's not in the midst of |
| 20528s | the action and the zenyatta's harmony |
| 20529s | all the shanghai dragons the amount of |
| 20531s | healing they can pump out onto boyd is |
| 20533s | so much higher for baptiste in their |
| 20535s | ranks |
| 20536s | looking forward to see |
| 20538s | how |
| 20539s | the dragons gonna push this top highway |
| 20542s | this is i think one of the most |
| 20543s | difficult parts for the attack but fuel |
| 20546s | are just rounding this corner but |
| 20548s | carrillo's gonna have great sights onto |
| 20549s | the back line so can he really deliver |
| 20551s | craft bucks from boyd i'm not sure |
| 20554s | really sure who he caught in that oh |
| 20555s | hockman's dangerously low and he has a |
| 20556s | dead scored orb and the supports of fuel |
| 20558s | or one hp they have to give up so much |
| 20560s | space after playing near the garages |
| 20562s | here is the engage from the dragons with |
| 20564s | the at matrix as humpband only gets the |
| 20566s | opposite tank with these crab looks but |
| 20569s | it was enough to pick off void and baby |
| 20571s | had to extend to try and heal that and |
| 20573s | he gets picked off and now the fuel have |
| 20575s | won this flight they can truly own top |
| 20578s | highway and even get first bloods and |
| 20580s | drain a lot of time from dragons getting |
| 20582s | rid of gurio though is a huge pick for |
| 20585s | the shanghai dragons this means that the |
| 20586s | approach towards the next fight is going |
| 20588s | to be so much safer when you're not |
| 20590s | worrying about that widowmaker she takes |
| 20593s | so long to get back to the fight because |
| 20595s | obviously her only mobility is that |
| 20596s | grappling hook lit already pops the |
| 20599s | visor carrier is going to be able to |
| 20600s | counter sooner than have an advantage on |
| 20602s | the defense which will stall out the |
| 20603s | shanghai dragons but they've already |
| 20605s | bought their position |
| 20607s | the rally starts |
| 20608s | from the defense shots exchange but |
| 20612s | finally sparkle gets involved and that's |
| 20614s | really the value you're hoping to get |
| 20615s | out of the genji is to apply pressure to |
| 20618s | some of these range hit scans that the |
| 20619s | dragons have and this is the first time |
| 20621s | in a while we've seen sparkle be able to |
| 20623s | get up in their face like that without |
| 20625s | getting picked so the dragons have to |
| 20627s | reset |
| 20628s | i love a little nod from lip when he |
| 20630s | died like yep sparkle sometimes these |
| 20633s | things just happen when you're going up |
| 20634s | against one of the most hotly |
| 20636s | anticipated player pickups of i think |
| 20638s | 2020 is when uh sparkle was initially |
| 20641s | picked up by the parish eternal to the |
| 20643s | surprise of many shanghai dragons now |
| 20645s | once again open up with the pick it's a |
| 20648s | lip ernesto entry fragger once more |
| 20650s | knocking at the door yeah it's usually |
| 20653s | the defense it has just better sight |
| 20655s | lines they have better protection up |
| 20656s | here when you're the of the attack it's |
| 20658s | around the corner and just be out in the |
| 20659s | open speaking of which dragons overclock |
| 20662s | plus the transcendence but holland waits |
| 20664s | for the perfect opportunity to grab flux |
| 20667s | and get the dragons low and sparkle he's |
| 20669s | already trying to dash reset through |
| 20671s | them hauntman is rocking the socks off |
| 20673s | of izayaki and there's no heels left |
| 20676s | from the dragons and void thought that |
| 20678s | was winnable and he fluxed a ghost so |
| 20680s | they were |
| 20682s | it was wrong |
| 20685s | it was a misread a misappropriation |
| 20687s | flatter swaps over to the genji now |
| 20690s | sobbing away from what worked in apac to |
| 20692s | deal with brand new threats and brand |
| 20694s | new approaches |
| 20695s | now izayaki having to move from their |
| 20698s | comfort zone a little bit playing the |
| 20699s | brigitte instead this is gonna be an up |
| 20701s | close battle now between the sigmas |
| 20703s | which of course has been dallas fuels |
| 20705s | bread and butter with the brawling dps |
| 20707s | that genji brings alongside the break |
| 20710s | just dragons |
| 20712s | allow just being allowed to go up the |
| 20714s | highway and fuel not really getting much |
| 20716s | picks into their back line just trying |
| 20718s | to play this from front to back |
| 20720s | rally versus ant matrix and matrix first |
| 20723s | from bay bay and just just completely |
| 20724s | catches guerrilla off guard and sparkle |
| 20726s | can't handle all the heat you gotta |
| 20728s | rally for burritos just to keep hongbin |
| 20730s | alive but you're just hoping and praying |
| 20732s | for a miracle if you're the fuel you're |
| 20734s | three versus five so dragons really have |
| 20736s | to put petal to the metal here if they |
| 20738s | want to claim point b before |
| 20739s | reinforcements get back and this |
| 20741s | shouldn't be a problem especially with |
| 20742s | hongbin dying last of course all right |
| 20744s | baby sitting that starcraft here apm at |
| 20747s | the moment and it was important that |
| 20749s | that fight be one with the amplification |
| 20750s | matrix because beyblade only really had |
| 20752s | one more fight on this uh fighters but |
| 20754s | they're probably gonna swap over to the |
| 20756s | zen to make sure that there's uh equal |
| 20758s | distribution of the discord orbs between |
| 20760s | these tanks because otherwise void can |
| 20761s | get very heavily bullied out compared to |
| 20764s | hanbin who's going to be able to weather |
| 20767s | a lot more damage without that discord |
| 20768s | orbit fixed to him |
| 20771s | the dragons |
| 20772s | cat b two and a half minutes for c |
| 20776s | will be really useful here for lift just |
| 20778s | to see who has control of pool who's |
| 20780s | maybe trying to contest the car baby's |
| 20782s | playing hide and go seek with guerrilla |
| 20783s | and he wants none of that he's more |
| 20785s | focused on trying to match up with lit |
| 20787s | there's the infrasight korea's position |
| 20789s | revealed and he just doesn't want to |
| 20791s | take that fight especially with |
| 20793s | infrasight up just disadvantage for the |
| 20795s | other widow |
| 20796s | dragons well how's the grab flux and |
| 20798s | it's like they're baiting fuel out of |
| 20800s | cool side to see if they can get them |
| 20802s | clumped up but fleta has already |
| 20803s | converted on two kills after swapping to |
| 20805s | the genji and this works out perfectly |
| 20807s | you got a great car push you're halfway |
| 20809s | to c |
| 20810s | and fuel are investing the transcendence |
| 20812s | they either had to die now or they had |
| 20814s | to go out with a swing and the |
| 20816s | transcendence runs out at the end of the |
| 20818s | grab flux and dragons stagger out three |
| 20821s | people and are heading at the end of sea |
| 20824s | the value from boyd they're unbelievable |
| 20826s | we'll probably have to talk about it |
| 20827s | after this round concluded because a |
| 20829s | rally is giving feather some extra armor |
| 20831s | some extra cushion but you need a big |
| 20832s | crusher to try and eat this blade |
| 20834s | sparkle it's instantly lost and so too |
| 20836s | is the objective lemon void managed to |
| 20839s | keep hundin fielder and shio staring at |
| 20842s | him across that bridge and that left |
| 20844s | gurio and sparkle with no support in the |
| 20847s | roadway they were overwhelmed in three |
| 20850s | versus one scenarios and then we saw |
| 20853s | chio try and or maybe field to try and |
| 20855s | engage with a trance and so that could |
| 20857s | be timed out perfectly by void that was |
| 20860s | a master class in demanding attention |
| 20862s | and creating mental space |
| 20864s | by the off tank that shanghai dragons |
| 20866s | have bought in just for circuit |
| 20868s | just what did flutter do like he just |
| 20871s | killed two can i get a i will give five |
| 20873s | dollars to the whoever is replays to see |
| 20876s | how flutter just killed two people for |
| 20878s | free like no blade nothing just god like |
| 20881s | genji plays because usually that part of |
| 20884s | the map there's such a long kind of |
| 20886s | brawly contest for pool control to get |
| 20888s | your widow set up and blah blah blah and |
| 20890s | then flood is just like i i'm just gonna |
| 20892s | 1v whoever and just that five on three |
| 20895s | alone is just fuel were forced with the |
| 20897s | decision of either transcending or dying |
| 20899s | and hoping that they reset in time and |
| 20901s | they chose the first option so it was |
| 20903s | the right option because i don't even |
| 20904s | know if they would have had time to |
| 20906s | transcendence at the end oh five dollars |
| 20908s | to you my man uh there is catching |
| 20911s | sparkle out of position he gets a dash |
| 20913s | reset right clicks and melees carrillo |
| 20915s | what a play this is what one dragons |
| 20917s | points see |
| 20919s | but the real critical thing there is |
| 20920s | that flatter wasn't the lone lemon |
| 20922s | there was the brigitte of izuyaki with |
| 20924s | him whereas chios brigitte was sitting |
| 20927s | up with hanuman infielder on the bridge |
| 20929s | essentially doing nothing |
| 20931s | just like guerrillas corpse as it falls |
| 20933s | to the ground lip opens up the widow |
| 20936s | versus widow once more in glorious |
| 20938s | fashion |
| 20940s | yeah lip continues to to div guerrilla |
| 20943s | where you're hoping guerrilla steps up |
| 20945s | for the fuel because this is fuel's last |
| 20947s | life dragon's cap with a minute 32 fuel |
| 20949s | gotta go all the way to the end with |
| 20952s | time you know that would be kind of nice |
| 20953s | or else you drop both three and you go |
| 20955s | to the lower bracket and you have to |
| 20957s | face fusion which who knows because |
| 20958s | you've never played them before so we'll |
| 20960s | see how that goes dragons though jump |
| 20962s | snipes from lip |
| 20964s | sparkle |
| 20965s | doing the cheating move he's trying to |
| 20966s | go on to the bridge because fuel our |
| 20968s | dragons are |
| 20969s | he's not actually cheating i'm tapping |
| 20971s | the admin sit down but he does go on to |
| 20974s | the bridge because dragons were playing |
| 20975s | far forward but dragons ended up |
| 20978s | disengaging picking off sparkle and |
| 20980s | that's a risk that fuel were willing to |
| 20982s | take |
| 20984s | and shanghai are happy to try and take |
| 20986s | this extended fight until chio and han |
| 20988s | bin really get up onto void because they |
| 20990s | have the |
| 20991s | overall healing from the baptist to make |
| 20993s | sure they can take these long range poke |
| 20996s | fights and they only really have to |
| 20997s | start disengaging when shio starts |
| 20999s | whacking upon the uh upon the sigma is |
| 21001s | delivering that inspire healing over a |
| 21003s | long term and this gives lit plenty of |
| 21005s | time to look for opening pins |
| 21007s | i really want to be inspired by the fuel |
| 21009s | right now because you just got to hold |
| 21010s | as much time as possible dragons rolled |
| 21013s | point a and got a lot of time here so |
| 21015s | fuel |
| 21017s | it's a time race that's what this |
| 21018s | payload map is all about maybe working |
| 21020s | up to some ultimates though but just |
| 21022s | getting some free space flood a little |
| 21023s | bit low and sparkle i mean he's narnia |
| 21025s | away he can't follow up on that it's all |
| 21027s | about guerrilla to deal with two rage |
| 21029s | dps on the other side because dragons |
| 21031s | are playing so far away it's boy just |
| 21033s | anchoring the cart he's going to use the |
| 21035s | gravity flux but his counter by fielder |
| 21037s | transcendence flood has poking his way |
| 21039s | through with the staircase and carillo |
| 21041s | hasn't been able to get a good sight |
| 21042s | line so he focus his attention on void |
| 21045s | before he gets healed back up by the |
| 21046s | transcendence |
| 21047s | but because flutter keeps being a little |
| 21050s | eager he eventually got punished korea |
| 21052s | only looked at boyd for a second but |
| 21054s | boyd's getting all the attention now and |
| 21056s | dragons are down to fuel just have to |
| 21058s | bully their way to point a and they got |
| 21060s | four minutes for b |
| 21061s | i gotta make my own five dollar offer to |
| 21063s | replay |
| 21064s | did that fox miss |
| 21066s | i think that from void missed |
| 21069s | i think you might have hit no one which |
| 21071s | is |
| 21072s | abysmal honestly if you're going to get |
| 21074s | that little value out of such a |
| 21076s | fantastic ultimate maybe a graviton they |
| 21078s | just didn't go up that high for now |
| 21080s | shanghai dragons they're almost confined |
| 21082s | to the hotel at the moment field is |
| 21084s | putting down so much poke here that void |
| 21086s | has to take a much more passive pathing |
| 21088s | forward to try and find some targets for |
| 21090s | lit via pings |
| 21093s | alone you know sometimes you have an |
| 21094s | unbranded mouse |
| 21096s | uh gravitic flux that happens it's a |
| 21098s | little goofy but this is your one map to |
| 21101s | shine on and it's about holding the end |
| 21103s | of b you got alts from the dragons |
| 21106s | overclock push against the wall and he |
| 21108s | puts shots in the hop and shield comes |
| 21110s | up and he just presents himself to be |
| 21113s | killed by the rest of fuel flutter just |
| 21115s | is unprotected trying to play on top of |
| 21117s | the tent to get angles to bomb at the |
| 21118s | sigma it just doesn't really get much |
| 21121s | but a few a few members of fuel low |
| 21123s | now they're pulling their way through |
| 21125s | and sparkle gets this blade shut down |
| 21127s | twice in a row |
| 21129s | this is just not happening for sparkle |
| 21131s | but he's going to continue on the genji |
| 21133s | now izu yaki is trapped and there's no |
| 21135s | getting out of this baby's just trying |
| 21137s | to blend it into the wall he's going to |
| 21138s | use that matrix dallas fuel d how bad do |
| 21141s | you want this easy yaki is now trying to |
| 21143s | kick his way to death probatic flux |
| 21146s | because fuel are tired of this they do |
| 21148s | not want to wait any longer a bunch of |
| 21150s | volts wasted we go back to the car it's |
| 21153s | four meters away fuel |
| 21155s | can we finish this today okay they're |
| 21157s | gonna cap |
| 21159s | that was some igor of a fight i'm not |
| 21161s | gonna lie to you uh i think that's the |
| 21163s | first time but i've seen mid fight a |
| 21165s | team take hostages |
| 21168s | izayaki and baby both confined to the |
| 21171s | garage hand actually puts up the shield |
| 21173s | in the doorway so they have no way of |
| 21174s | actually getting any projectiles out it |
| 21176s | splits shanghai in two no one else can |
| 21178s | receive healing and unless lip was able |
| 21180s | to get some mega pop off things were not |
| 21182s | going to go his way still for dallas |
| 21184s | fuel this is a respectable time back 3 |
| 21185s | minutes and 40 seconds to try and get |
| 21187s | through this final area of circuit |
| 21188s | royale but this is often where we have |
| 21190s | seen teams halted for years upon years |
| 21193s | and lip has exactly the spot he wants |
| 21196s | control of the pool okay and he's making |
| 21199s | a splash |
| 21200s | and he's dead and that's just off of a |
| 21202s | lip snipe from pool so was the shield |
| 21204s | not up for hongbin what happened to |
| 21206s | shields up sorry wrong team but sparkle |
| 21208s | has to play charades now and do his |
| 21209s | impression of flutter where he gets a |
| 21210s | double kill and just kind of carries |
| 21212s | fuel through this fight but without |
| 21214s | guerrilla just fuel are not going to |
| 21216s | force it even with transcendence |
| 21219s | yeah it doesn't make too much sense |
| 21220s | guerrilla uh swapping over to the |
| 21222s | sojourn we thought the uh the sojourn |
| 21224s | from korea was pretty good it did |
| 21225s | eventually get kind of faced out by the |
| 21227s | edison sojourn over the last few weeks |
| 21230s | but we know that it's very much within |
| 21231s | his wheelhouse this is a very very uh |
| 21234s | aggressive play from dallas fuel they do |
| 21236s | force out the infrasights at least and |
| 21239s | so it's it's a moment to back off lemon |
| 21241s | contemplate and figure out their next |
| 21242s | move |
| 21243s | yeah because sparkles on genji and not |
| 21245s | tracer there's not as much carton |
| 21246s | presence or at least the way sparkles |
| 21248s | positioning he dashes out of that but |
| 21250s | this rest of his team is going to feel |
| 21251s | this gravity flux in the morning hanuman |
| 21253s | does get dangerously low so fuel take a |
| 21256s | second take a breather |
| 21258s | now we have rally so chio starts that up |
| 21260s | as soon as he has it and fuel are gonna |
| 21261s | bully their way through sparkle goes to |
| 21263s | the cart to stop its backwards |
| 21265s | progression and he's so dashable and |
| 21267s | flutter he wanted it so bad and sparkle |
| 21270s | came for his revenge fuel continued to |
| 21272s | get these first picks in the fight and |
| 21274s | dragons quickly disengaged it's about |
| 21276s | owning this high ground now lip is going |
| 21278s | to be on the all the way on the other |
| 21280s | side hoping to match with guerrilla once |
| 21283s | again or really whoever from fuel who's |
| 21285s | trying to push this cart but sparkle |
| 21287s | knows he wants none of that smoke he is |
| 21288s | nowhere close to even accessing flip all |
| 21291s | the way at the back so fuel they gotta |
| 21294s | just wait for gravity flux and they |
| 21295s | waited a bit too long especially without |
| 21297s | a shield lift his big grill yet again |
| 21300s | and this is just no bueno for fuel |
| 21302s | i think that hanbin may have just made a |
| 21305s | series defining mistake lemon over |
| 21307s | extending a touch too far into shanghai |
| 21309s | dragon's territory and losing his life |
| 21312s | yeah chio ends up staggering themselves |
| 21314s | but in the end with han bin gone dallas |
| 21316s | fuel had no way to really extricate |
| 21318s | themselves from the pool but yes they |
| 21320s | had bought for a huge amount of blood |
| 21322s | sweat and tears but without the gravity |
| 21325s | flux to really try and find the exits it |
| 21328s | was going to be a real chance especially |
| 21329s | because baby had already used the |
| 21331s | immortality field now baby has another |
| 21333s | immortality field there's a |
| 21334s | transcendence available shanghai dragons |
| 21336s | are now in a great position to hold this |
| 21338s | map |
| 21340s | oh just so much of that fuel time is |
| 21342s | gone |
| 21343s | you have the alts |
| 21345s | fuel |
| 21346s | you have to go all the way to the end or |
| 21349s | this series is toast honda shield's |
| 21351s | already low he's going to use the matrix |
| 21353s | and fuel are just trying to not get shot |
| 21355s | by lip for once infrasight activated he |
| 21357s | knows where the fuel are gravity flushed |
| 21359s | haunted is on his own here comes spiel |
| 21361s | they're life-saving oh and he's dead |
| 21363s | pawn bin it cannot be saved and now you |
| 21365s | don't have to take for 38 seconds you'll |
| 21368s | have to make a decision do we fight this |
| 21369s | without them or not and |
| 21371s | well they get wiped away at least they |
| 21374s | die quickly so 30 seconds remaining phil |
| 21376s | will have one last fight to go |
| 21378s | critically izzy did not break the iron |
| 21381s | will of the iron monk has stayed |
| 21383s | resolute and the transcendence now |
| 21386s | stands at the ready when sparkle brings |
| 21388s | out the blade gurio might try and use an |
| 21391s | early overclock here to force out the |
| 21392s | transcendence but izzy knows but against |
| 21395s | the head shots of the overclock it's not |
| 21397s | really a huge stimulus for the |
| 21399s | transcendence itself on the other side |
| 21402s | flutter gonna be basically unanswered |
| 21404s | when you use his own blade only hundred |
| 21406s | shields can really protect anyone never |
| 21409s | mind the blade lemon |
| 21412s | head jump after headshot i was waiting |
| 21414s | for my moment to say that |
| 21416s | fuel just lost |
| 21418s | i didn't even get to keep going lip |
| 21419s | didn't even get to keep going so sweet |
| 21421s | 3-0 for the shanghai dragons absolute |
| 21425s | domination over the dallas fuel with |
| 21427s | even a full hold on midtown a short |
| 21430s | series but not a short life for fuel |
| 21433s | because they'll get to go down to the |
| 21434s | lower bracket to face philadelphia |
| 21436s | fusion on a wednesday and if you're a |
| 21439s | shanghai dragon's fan you better tune in |
| 21441s | on thursday because they face the shock |
| 21443s | but this was still a fun series to watch |
| 21446s | i think i might have just witnessed the |
| 21447s | first ever iteration of an aim nine |
| 21450s | which is forcing the enemy to not be |
| 21452s | able to touch the point because you just |
| 21454s | hit every single shot as a sniper that's |
| 21457s | frankly bizarre but then again lip has |
| 21460s | never been anything but bizarre whether |
| 21462s | it's doing some weird emps or just being |
| 21465s | an absolute freak show when it comes to |
| 21466s | the aim what a performance from the |
| 21469s | sniper of shanghai dragons lemon |
| 21473s | and it's just guerrilla hasn't been able |
| 21475s | to even |
| 21476s | just |
| 21476s | put a dent into lip at all overwatch yet |
| 21480s | i think korea was maybe more looking at |
| 21482s | flutter sojourn than winning duels |
| 21484s | against lib it was just |
| 21486s | really cool to see just both teams |
| 21488s | playing their cards clearly both teams |
| 21490s | have studied a lot on each other dallas |
| 21492s | you're picking a few of shanghai's |
| 21494s | weakest maps turns out shanghai dragons |
| 21496s | don't make the same mistake twice going |
| 21498s | from being full held on midtown to uh |
| 21500s | obliterating dallas fuel with even time |
| 21503s | to spare so shanghai dragons pulling out |
| 21506s | all the punches but there's one player |
| 21508s | i'm gonna give you guys one guess and |
| 21510s | you can mess us up player of the match |
| 21513s | from the shanghai dragons you know who |
| 21515s | it is it's so jordan it's lip on the |
| 21518s | sojourn by the way uh he just was |
| 21520s | outstanding today |
| 21522s | bianchi fraganesto |
| 21524s | the creator of the aim nine lip might be |
| 21527s | the best hit scan in the world and right |
| 21529s | now he's certainly looking like it chang |
| 21532s | our dragons were by no means slouches |
| 21535s | today as a team but uh when it comes to |
| 21537s | individual performances i have not seen |
| 21538s | one this good since mn3 on new queen |
| 21541s | street and you know what lifted it for |
| 21543s | an entire bloody series |
| 21546s | it's been a it just stopped guria from |
| 21549s | being able to play the game we've seen |
| 21551s | guerrilla get a couple of |
| 21553s | good shots here and there to really |
| 21554s | soften up these targets but in the end |
| 21556s | when you're too worried about going |
| 21558s | head-to-head with flatter things start |
| 21560s | to fall through the cracks and those |
| 21561s | cracks get torn open by a player like |
| 21564s | lip |
| 21565s | yeah torn open indeed 64 real good |
| 21567s | accuracy that's the only number i care |
| 21569s | about how how well do you shoot shoot |
| 21572s | pretty good it says |
| 21574s | shoot good i mean the fact that this guy |
| 21576s | was good in the soldier meta good on |
| 21578s | sojourn good on widow like what can this |
| 21580s | guy not do there's just so much |
| 21582s | competition for just rookie a player mvp |
| 21586s | of the whole year and lip has to be in |
| 21588s | that conversation we have more |
| 21590s | conversations to have because there is |
| 21592s | another match around the corner the last |
| 21595s | one of the day hong zhou spark versus |
| 21598s | the seoul dynasty the last time these |
| 21601s | two teams have met |
| 21604s | uh seoul dynasty three of them and it |
| 21606s | wasn't pretty |
| 21607s | so will this be a different tale we're |
| 21610s | going to find out because the biggest |
| 21611s | stakes on the line well at least on the |

| 21894s | welcome to game break everybody i'm here |
| 21896s | joined now by fate from shanghai dragons |
| 21899s | fate congratulations on the win now my |
| 21901s | first question for you is i found |
| 21903s | something interesting i think um |
| 21906s | you guys were sort of predominantly |
| 21908s | using the wrecking ball dive in the |
| 21910s | regular season as well as yesterday's |
| 21911s | match as well but today we saw something |
| 21913s | different you guys were running a lot of |
| 21915s | the doomfist dive i was just curious was |
| 21918s | that sort of your strategy for the |
| 21920s | dallas fuel specifically |
| 21927s | [Music] |
| 21976s | i mean we always had um a lot of |
| 21978s | different strategies and and |
| 21980s | competitions in our in our toolkit i |
| 21982s | guess uh we had them all planned out but |
| 21984s | it just happened so that we never had |
| 21986s | the uh chance to sort of use different |
| 21989s | strategies other than the wrecking ball |
| 21991s | that we've been utilizing a lot but |
| 21992s | today uh fortunately we were able to use |
| 21995s | one of the many compositions that we |
| 21997s | have practiced so i think it sort of |
| 21999s | worked out and you know it's really |
| 22001s | helped us get the win today against the |
| 22002s | dallas fuel all right my next question |
| 22004s | for you fate is you know of course with |
| 22006s | this win you guys are moving up the |
| 22008s | ladder and your next opponent is going |
| 22010s | to be none other than san francisco |
| 22012s | shock i just want to hear your thoughts |
| 22014s | on the team and about the match tomorrow |
| 22022s | so |
| 22026s | [Music] |
| 22032s | um |
| 22036s | [Music] |
| 22054s | all right um i do believe that um i |
| 22057s | think san francisco shock is a unique |
| 22059s | team that sort of um uh they stay a |
| 22061s | little deviant from all the meta picks |
| 22063s | or meta heroes of that's what they sort |
| 22065s | of like to use um and they do have |
| 22068s | really good dps players as well so i do |
| 22070s | think that um it's not going to be an |
| 22072s | easy match but at the same time i don't |
| 22074s | think it's going to be that hard as well |
| 22076s | all right fate that is it for the |
| 22078s | interview thank you so much for your |
| 22079s | time and again big congratulations on |
| 22081s | the win |
| 22085s | thank you |
| 22087s | thank you |
| 22089s | bye |
| 22092s | did he tell me bye or did he tell him by |
| 22095s | i'm coming he said |
| 22097s | all right well you know it was great |
| 22098s | being on the deck |
| 22099s | i've been told that i'm not allowed to |
| 22101s | actually stand up from this chair |
| 22102s | because we're wired in and i would break |
| 22105s | the set yeah potentially everything |
| 22106s | would catch on fire the windows would |
| 22108s | break it'd be awful yeah break the set |
| 22110s | just like shanghai dragons broke dallas |
| 22113s | fuel in that series see what i did there |
| 22116s | i'm impressed |
| 22119s | i mean |
| 22120s | we're impressed i feel like johnny was |
| 22122s | impressed watching that game because |
| 22123s | halfway through he got so passionate |
| 22125s | seeing uh lee jay lee jay gong uh pop |
| 22129s | off in the one game that he played so |
| 22130s | johnny what do you have to say about it |
| 22131s | we gotta talk we gotta duck look at him |
| 22133s | we gotta talk all right i don't care |
| 22136s | look at me look at me look at me when i |
| 22139s | speak show give me give things give me |
| 22140s | that there you go |
| 22142s | we gotta talk about legion god okay i |
| 22144s | don't care that he only played one out |
| 22147s | of the three maps all right because this |
| 22149s | was some vintage lee jaegon |
| 22152s | i'm not allowed to say that word |
| 22153s | legion gone stuff i mean he was |
| 22156s | incredible in that very first match and |
| 22158s | i just gotta get the prop how often we |
| 22160s | talk about bricks how do we talk about |
| 22161s | main support not that often but this |
| 22164s | rally in overtime and he just carries |
| 22166s | his team the momentum forward gets a |
| 22168s | pick of the sparkle as well wraps it up |
| 22170s | with the flailing open |
| 22171s | but also keeps his teammates alive with |
| 22173s | the armor packs like consistently and we |
| 22175s | even saw a little bit more on that later |
| 22177s | in this very map in the next clip as |
| 22179s | well here on the point keeping his team |
| 22182s | alive against this lucio moira dive and |
| 22184s | then healing his echo with the armor |
| 22186s | packs as well keeping his teammate alive |
| 22188s | and peeling off all these dive |
| 22190s | characters i mean i i i just love lisa |
| 22192s | gone like he's to go and like he i like |
| 22194s | him he's he's so good i want to point |
| 22196s | out one thing if you know you know |
| 22198s | i have been walking around for this |
| 22200s | entire series saying lee jae gong |
| 22202s | instead of lee jay god and no one has |
| 22204s | corrected |
| 22205s | he leaves a god lee jay god |
| 22208s | i've been saying gong like wong |
| 22212s | he's been saying gone because i made one |
| 22214s | joke and now i'm hearing it's got i'm |
| 22217s | the new kid on the phone no one has |
| 22219s | corrected |
| 22223s | i don't want to say anything at this |
| 22224s | point but now you've brought it off |
| 22226s | afraid to ask but you know what that's |
| 22227s | totally fine we do it live |
| 22229s | on the on the show and that's of course |
| 22232s | fine there but i mean listen we got to |
| 22234s | hear a little bit from fate danny asked |
| 22236s | him about switching up some of the |
| 22237s | strategies uh had seen a lot of wrecking |
| 22240s | ball with our dear little hamster friend |
| 22241s | but actually breaking out the doom fist |
| 22243s | fate saying that it was something that |
| 22245s | they had practiced and they were excited |
| 22246s | to pull it out today they activated his |
| 22248s | trap card yeah you know they didn't |
| 22249s | expect it coming i didn't expect it |
| 22251s | coming |
| 22252s | heading into this match they had played |
| 22254s | almost no doom fest throughout the |
| 22256s | entire season so far so i wasn't |
| 22258s | expecting them to pull it out and i |
| 22260s | don't think the dallas fuel were either |
| 22262s | they seem to get caught off guard by |
| 22263s | this aggressive style of the doom fist |
| 22265s | and we know how good it can be against |
| 22267s | that winston those shotguns can do a lot |
| 22269s | of damage especially if you can punch |
| 22270s | him into the wall the moira you can |
| 22272s | cancel that coalescence with the |
| 22274s | doomfist punch and it just felt like the |
| 22276s | dallas fuel |
| 22277s | with this lucio mario comp that i'm just |
| 22279s | not in love with it doesn't have enough |
| 22281s | damage to close out these fights |
| 22282s | especially when you have as johnny said |
| 22284s | such a great main support in li jaegon |
| 22287s | on that brig so i wasn't in love with |
| 22289s | what they did in that first map we head |
| 22291s | over to midtown and we go towards a more |
| 22293s | mirror style with the sojourn tracer you |
| 22296s | know winston slash doom style and this |
| 22298s | is really when lips started taking over |
| 22300s | the game which so i've got so much this |
| 22303s | season and this series |
| 22305s | and he really delivered just absolutely |
| 22306s | going crazy and there was no answer to |
| 22309s | it on the dallas fuel side this is a |
| 22310s | consistent theme throughout this season |
| 22312s | that they do not have the hit scan |
| 22314s | player to be able to compete with the |
| 22316s | top dogs right now gurio on that slogan |
| 22319s | wasn't that impressive but really on |
| 22322s | this map i believe it was three final |
| 22324s | blows for guerrilla on that widow to |
| 22326s | lips 15 it was not close and even though |
| 22330s | the matter |
| 22332s | happened every time the dallas fuel |
| 22333s | started gaining steam lip just clicks |
| 22335s | head after head off the head i actually |
| 22337s | remember hex saying i'm going to throw |
| 22338s | hex under the bus here hexadocky and he |
| 22339s | goes oh that 3k wasn't that impressive i |
| 22342s | could have done that they would just |
| 22343s | walk into the cart i did |
| 22345s | so you know lip if you ever needed widow |
| 22347s | 1v1 we haven't accidentally i mean it |
| 22348s | wasn't wrong |
| 22353s | any disrespect to the lip is |
| 22355s | disrespecting me he's such a great |
| 22357s | player and no one has had an answer to |
| 22358s | it no one talked to liv about that ever |
| 22360s | again |
| 22362s | we're gonna need like a special |
| 22363s | watchpoint post show and then we're |
| 22365s | gonna have hex come out with a setup and |
| 22367s | we're gonna put his uh you know skills |
| 22369s | to the test right there but |
| 22371s | with that game results in we actually |
| 22374s | have the updated brackets i just heard |
| 22376s | him in my ear say bring it |
| 22379s | let's go ahead and take a look at the |
| 22382s | updated bracket for what we have because |
| 22384s | as we see the shanghai dragons moving on |
| 22387s | i do believe that they're going to be |
| 22388s | taking on the shock |
| 22390s | as you can see right here in our first |
| 22392s | match wednesday on thursday spicy indeed |
| 22396s | and then we are of course going to see |
| 22399s | dallas fuel move on to tomorrow's match |
| 22401s | in the lower bracket and they are going |
| 22403s | to be oh no oh oh god oh fusion so guys |
| 22408s | guys |
| 22409s | speaking to you i'm coming to you |
| 22412s | begging pleading as a fusion fan |
| 22415s | i got to know doorboy's got this |
| 22419s | i think i think fusion has a real good |
| 22421s | chance at this one yeah but they're so |
| 22423s | freaking disappointing that i don't |
| 22425s | believe in it yeah no i don't really |
| 22427s | want to side with you on this one so i'm |
| 22428s | kind of torn i actually think that they |
| 22430s | have a better chance of beating the |
| 22431s | dallas fuel okay but i don't want to |
| 22433s | become a fusion fan you know they've |
| 22435s | already burnt me once in this tournament |
| 22436s | yeah that's that's an awful thing yeah |
| 22438s | really |
| 22440s | i just feel so but they have a towel |
| 22441s | they do have a chance they have a chance |
| 22444s | like a good chance i'd say |
| 22447s | i'd say this one it's like actually like |
| 22448s | a 60 40 dollars maybe i'd say it's |
| 22450s | really good |
| 22452s | what do you think it's like |
| 22454s | 70 30 philly oh really i think i think |
| 22457s | philly i think philly is in a better |
| 22458s | spot i think dallas has still not shown |
| 22460s | me an identity they don't look great in |
| 22462s | the dive they don't have the hit scan |
| 22463s | player to back it up i think that the |
| 22465s | philadelphia fusion looked comfortable |
| 22466s | and i might actually pred fusion too so |
| 22468s | yeah |
| 22469s | i got it i want another one over it |
| 22471s | looks like i have managed to turn the |
| 22473s | entire desk to the side of fusion fans |
| 22476s | which is fantastic but listen that's |
| 22478s | going to take place uh tomorrow instead |
| 22481s | let's talk about the final match that we |
| 22482s | have going on today that's going to be |
| 22483s | the spark versus the dynasty now scott |
| 22486s | i'm going to start with you first |
| 22487s | because you just gave us a 70 30 |
| 22489s | prediction for fusion but earlier on |
| 22491s | today you actually gave us a 70 30 |
| 22492s | prediction for seoul dynasty yeah so you |
| 22496s | still standing by that i'm just making |
| 22498s | up numbers at this point but really |
| 22500s | there was logic behind the numbers in |
| 22502s | this one because uh mn3 we know that |
| 22505s | shai |
| 22506s | beat him down mn3 and we know mn3 beat |
| 22509s | down the seoul dynasty of the week prior |
| 22511s | to this so transitive properties is what |
| 22513s | i said in the pre-show i'm sticking to |
| 22515s | it shy if he can be that |
| 22517s | difference-making against the sole |
| 22518s | dynasty and if they are going to |
| 22519s | struggle against a top-tier hitscan once |
| 22521s | again it could happen but at the end of |
| 22523s | the day it's not just about the hit |
| 22524s | scans there are four other people in the |
| 22526s | server for their team no there's |
| 22528s | actually not you're wrong can i know |
| 22529s | about the hit stance i want to talk |
| 22531s | about stalker actually i want to talk |
| 22532s | more about the hit scan screw the |
| 22533s | support screw the tanks just you know |
| 22535s | show some stalker because i actually |
| 22537s | think this could be a breakout game yes |
| 22538s | that's right that's correct i'm actually |
| 22539s | going somewhere oh no so |
| 22541s | stalker on the soldier he's a rookie |
| 22544s | he doesn't see as much play time as |
| 22546s | other rookies are in the league but this |
| 22548s | could be a massive breakout game for |
| 22550s | stalker in this matchup you can see that |
| 22552s | shy he's leading him most out averaging |
| 22554s | about one more final blow for 10 minutes |
| 22556s | half a railgun kill for 10 minutes and |
| 22558s | the accuracy is you know slightly ahead |
| 22560s | um so i would actually say that child of |
| 22563s | course is the favorite going into this |
| 22564s | matchup he's the better hitscan player |
| 22566s | but considering that stalker is a |
| 22568s | rotational rookie this could be a |
| 22570s | massive breakout game for stalkers so |
| 22572s | i'm interested to see how he fares |
| 22574s | against cheyenne this one before we toss |
| 22576s | and before we say anything that isn't |
| 22578s | something about the hitscans |
| 22580s | smurf and profit i want to see what form |
| 22582s | they're in if their dive is good it |
| 22583s | won't even matter how good shy is |
| 22585s | prophetess go they will absolutely did |
| 22587s | you just say profit is watched no the |
| 22588s | ghosts oh they're going oh |
| 22590s | wow |
| 22593s | that way i'm sorry i'm sorry profit is |
| 22595s | the goat keep an eye on him he's you've |
| 22597s | never seen him play you're in for a trip |
| 22598s | heresy we're all in for a treat as we |
| 22600s | get into this game because of course |
| 22602s | we're gonna be led by our two casters |
| 22604s | taking us into the action lemon kiwi and |
| 22606s | leg day take it away |
| 22609s | wow |
| 22610s | i just saw a bigger fight on the desk |
| 22612s | than the between the dallas fuel and |
| 22614s | shanghai so we we keep the action rolled |
| 22616s | we got one more match to go and this one |
| 22618s | will be a banger i promise you hangzhou |
| 22621s | spark versus the seoul dynasty two teams |
| 22625s | who have met before the stars in line |
| 22627s | but only for seoul dynasty because they |
| 22629s | threw out them and they even full held |
| 22632s | them on midtown silver lining those |
| 22633s | spark fans don't come after me has been |
| 22635s | a few weeks and i mean every team is |
| 22637s | coming out with the punches and the |
| 22639s | different strats yeah it feels like a |
| 22641s | lot of teams are evolving heading into |
| 22643s | this particular tournament especially as |
| 22644s | we just saw from the shanghai dragons we |
| 22646s | we didn't know that they had a doomfist |
| 22648s | alas they have a doomfist dallas you'll |
| 22650s | said we're gonna take you to where we |
| 22652s | can't play wrecking ball and they went |
| 22654s | there |
| 22655s | sure don't care so we're going to think |
| 22656s | so what we do care about though let's |
| 22658s | have a look at hangzhou spark our |
| 22660s | starters here i think it's fair to say |
| 22662s | coming into this matchup honcho spark |
| 22664s | are the underdogs and as you said last |
| 22666s | time these teams met it was not pretty |
| 22668s | for hong joe but when i look at this |
| 22670s | particular lineup it's all about those |
| 22672s | dps it feels like this is one of the |
| 22674s | teams in the league where the support |
| 22677s | line isn't as much a play-making |
| 22678s | component as it is just an enabling |
| 22680s | component to allow shai and alpha yi to |
| 22683s | go bloody hard shy and alpha yi have |
| 22686s | been consistently impressive this year |
| 22688s | alfie is of course one of the newer |
| 22690s | rookies who's come in and has had a |
| 22692s | plenty of pop-off moments on both the |
| 22695s | tracer and on the genji and occasionally |
| 22698s | also turns up on the pharah out of |
| 22700s | nowhere |
| 22701s | well at least we have one super left in |
| 22703s | the league super rich i think it's |
| 22705s | probably one of my more favorite players |
| 22706s | even though you're dogging on him he has |
| 22708s | a little teacup and he just tried to |
| 22710s | meditate and then said psych guys let's |
| 22711s | get it so that's like the type of guy i |
| 22713s | want on my team and especially shy which |
| 22716s | just statistically has been at the top |
| 22719s | when it comes to ashes which is very |
| 22721s | unique to aipac he's number three and |
| 22723s | final blows scoped crit hit kills and |
| 22726s | bob kills of all things he is very low |
| 22728s | on fewest deaths but you know who's |
| 22731s | counting that you know if you ain't at |
| 22733s | least you know get some kills out of it |
| 22734s | and that's the type of guy shy is but |
| 22736s | people are more looking at shy when it |
| 22739s | comes to his sojourn performance was |
| 22741s | anyone up at uh at bad o'clock last |
| 22745s | night watching a spark yesterday because |
| 22749s | shy went absolutely feral he got the |
| 22751s | fans barking over his sojourn |
| 22753s | performance and i hope he brings that |
| 22754s | again |
| 22756s | yeah absolutely barking for it but uh |
| 22758s | goats don't bark but the goat is going |
| 22760s | to come up let's have a look at the |
| 22761s | seoul dynasty roster the uh vadesk was |
| 22765s | saying that profit is the goat and the |
| 22767s | reason is |
| 22768s | uh he is a one-time unfortunately |
| 22770s | champion maybe not the most accolades in |
| 22772s | history has had an apex win as well back |
| 22774s | when that was the premier competition |
| 22776s | over in korea but no one no one has been |
| 22780s | as consistently successful consistently |
| 22783s | dangerous and a source of fear in the |
| 22786s | hearts of opponents like profit has been |
| 22788s | over the course of his career smurf a |
| 22791s | two-time overwatch league champion with |
| 22793s | a san francisco shock now without having |
| 22795s | to share the spotlight with super he's |
| 22796s | his own man his own tank and doing it |
| 22798s | all by himself and stalker i've got a |
| 22800s | tidbit for you here i mean when it comes |
| 22802s | to my opinion of stalker this guy has |
| 22804s | the best mechanical tracking i've seen |
| 22806s | since bunny i've had a look at his |
| 22809s | gameplay and boy he is sharp |
| 22812s | sharper than dame's hair clips like let |
| 22815s | me know where you got those because even |
| 22816s | looking fly then dame and not even just |
| 22819s | fly like appearance-wise but also in |
| 22821s | game than dame i know i'm a little bit |
| 22823s | late to the binding bandwagon but vin |
| 22826s | dave is like |
| 22827s | gonna be mvp rookie whatever of the year |
| 22830s | because his zen it frags out and you |
| 22833s | know that looks cool and all but to see |
| 22834s | an intelligent brigitta player |
| 22836s | his package his overall awareness and |
| 22839s | you never get to compliment a brigitta |
| 22841s | player but when i vod review vin dame he |
| 22843s | goes hard for seoul dynasty speaking of |
| 22846s | the seoul dynasty they got to pick third |
| 22848s | and they pick a spark specifically |
| 22850s | because you know dodging shanghai |
| 22851s | dragons and playing a team you've |
| 22853s | actually beat down before remember seoul |
| 22855s | 3-0 the spark and soul got to pick this |
| 22858s | first map which is illios |
| 22861s | one of the things we need to address |
| 22863s | here as well is uh |
| 22865s | saying that i think a lot of us here in |
| 22867s | the overwatch league community are quite |
| 22868s | afraid of lemon |
| 22869s | that's something called playoffs profit |
| 22872s | which is uh |
| 22875s | when profit |
| 22876s | enters the playoffs |
| 22879s | he becomes an entirely different |
| 22881s | creature he ends as a cocoon |
| 22884s | he has a chrysalis a metamorphosis and |
| 22887s | he comes out the other side more |
| 22889s | powerful than ever that thou hast seen |
| 22892s | before and if playoffs profit is here |
| 22894s | for mid-season madness when seoul |
| 22896s | dynasty are going to be a serious |
| 22899s | contender to pick up their second title |
| 22901s | in this year out of two that are |
| 22904s | available to them hong joe spark on the |
| 22906s | other side we have the echo coming out |
| 22908s | profits picking up the hanzo that's how |
| 22910s | much respect they have for stalker as a |
| 22913s | tracking talent profit is giving away |
| 22915s | the tracer |
| 22917s | oh wow |
| 22919s | so stalker versus shy on the tracer |
| 22922s | alpha yi in the sky |
| 22924s | look at the echo |
| 22926s | you can be chased down so you have to be |
| 22927s | careful especially if you can lock eyes |
| 22929s | with crossfit you can get headshots and |
| 22930s | prop it's up in the sky in the roof he's |
| 22933s | already going to disengage out of that |
| 22934s | point unlock who will capture hurt his |
| 22937s | stall potential on this especially |
| 22939s | there's a window there he can see you |
| 22942s | the headshot alive perfectly easy for |
| 22944s | profit he got plowed drive but he cares |
| 22946s | about him uh bernard's also slept good |
| 22948s | job by creative i don't think they |
| 22950s | really have the burst to deal with that |
| 22952s | quite yet and now irony is also catching |
| 22954s | strains if somebody's shy profit |
| 22957s | playoffs profit has awoken he is a |
| 22959s | little bug fly he's already got 3k in |
| 22961s | the first fight |
| 22963s | he's a beautiful butterfly lemon what |
| 22965s | you may see is a potential rookie of a |
| 22967s | year candidate in alpha yi all prophet |
| 22970s | sees his fear and dead men 61 of the way |
| 22974s | towards the ultimate soul dynasty get |
| 22976s | the first cap and now prophet can have |
| 22978s | an extended poke phase as hong joe spark |
| 22980s | have to approach alfie is going to be in |
| 22982s | trouble if he peeks too high in the sky |
| 22986s | it's pretty quiet out here huh |
| 22988s | we're spark at okay trying to engage |
| 22990s | stars stalker he's already on the hunt |
| 22993s | it's in the name he's on the flank |
| 22995s | you see the rest of seoul dynasty i want |
| 22998s | to take off angles stalker wants to go |
| 22999s | unnoticed but he's already got all the |
| 23001s | sticky bombs on him he has the recall |
| 23003s | prophet has hit four shots he's got four |
| 23005s | kills and all the home shows work |
| 23006s | combined and more |
| 23008s | what is he on five and now he gets to |
| 23010s | kill bernard for free that's another |
| 23012s | stagger so who is here to challenge |
| 23014s | stolen especially profit |
| 23016s | makes you wonder why he even phased out |
| 23018s | bows and arrows turns out they're pretty |
| 23020s | damn good lemon profit is absolutely |
| 23022s | dominating at the moment oh my goodness |
| 23025s | stop it get it off my screen that's |
| 23027s | illegal send him to jail or even to the |
| 23029s | hague |
| 23038s | [Laughter] |
| 23041s | we're going to play a little bit of |
| 23043s | unbranded street of can we count divine |
| 23046s | two |
| 23046s | three four five six seven |
| 23049s | seven kills for profit |
| 23052s | now we gotta try volts available lemon |
| 23055s | oh yeah that's gonna be ugly well let's |
| 23057s | see spark last fight already i know the |
| 23060s | spark are still coming up on their first |
| 23062s | alts lions have been used to try and uh |
| 23065s | zone out the mini pack roma on the |
| 23066s | opposite side bernard got slept at least |
| 23068s | he lives i can't say the same alpha yi |
| 23070s | but stalker gets traded out you got a |
| 23072s | chance four before trance out souls |
| 23074s | dynasty using all their olds they know |
| 23076s | it's last fight and shaw he's being |
| 23078s | pressured crowdfunding is so from smurf |
| 23080s | but he's hoping to knock some people in |
| 23082s | that well bernard is doing everything he |
| 23084s | can to keep this up he got mines he got |
| 23086s | a double kill without creative soul are |
| 23088s | very much lacking in heels and friends |
| 23091s | and hope but smurf still gets the death |
| 23094s | ponzo spark got the flip so they have |
| 23096s | some time to work with here but there's |
| 23098s | three of seoul on the point and no one |
| 23100s | from spark and there goes the flip ot in |
| 23102s | motion alpha he has to touch it he's |
| 23104s | there but he's barely breathing spark |
| 23106s | are on their way back they're kind of |
| 23108s | slow they got the rally though super |
| 23110s | rich keeping everyone up with his |
| 23112s | meditation and more but do this can |
| 23114s | spark kill something that's what i |
| 23116s | really want to be proven here |
| 23117s | mythbusters style can someone kill other |
| 23119s | than bernard okay that's a good start |
| 23121s | from alpha yi and shy |
| 23123s | no support for seoul and spark are alive |
| 23126s | and well |
| 23127s | all right profit returned on the legs uh |
| 23129s | that's not gonna stay of course that was |
| 23131s | simply to return in good time with the |
| 23132s | sprint for the additional movement speed |
| 23134s | maybe go back to the hunter now indeed |
| 23136s | they will |
| 23137s | and the honda is actually really cool |
| 23138s | for dawning against alfie d because it |
| 23140s | means you can actually one shot alfie |
| 23142s | with a body shot if he's discorded and |
| 23143s | if he gets up close to you and doesn't |
| 23145s | have a discord you can wombo combo him |
| 23147s | with a fully charged arrow into a melee |
| 23149s | both of which will dispatch of 150 hp |
| 23152s | easily and that means alfie has to play |
| 23154s | a more medium range where the burst is |
| 23156s | less prevalent |
| 23159s | well |
| 23160s | spark got a lot of work to do gotta go |
| 23162s | from zero to a hundred you have the |
| 23164s | oldest to do it off the heel on the |
| 23165s | chase he has a pulse because he would |
| 23167s | invest it well scruff got the mega hood |
| 23169s | well it ain't worth it to alpha yi cause |
| 23171s | supports are in trouble zen's traded out |
| 23174s | from the range duels between shy and |
| 23176s | profit profit gets another he's getting |
| 23178s | the double digits everyone it is time to |
| 23181s | panic because profit just can't be |
| 23183s | stopped stopped and then stalker with a |
| 23186s | pulse bomb in the back prophet he knows |
| 23188s | how to climb though he's got the |
| 23190s | grippers on the hands but those bird are |
| 23192s | can he do anything but drop lines and |
| 23193s | leave well |
| 23194s | spark has to touch |
| 23197s | and someone has to do it i'm only seeing |
| 23199s | irony and shy come around the corner and |
| 23201s | there it is seoul absolutely dominating |
| 23203s | round one |
| 23204s | i'm getting the weirdest feeling of deja |
| 23206s | vu lemon you say range duels i say |
| 23208s | ranged massacre |
| 23211s | profit is in playoffs form at least in |
| 23214s | map number one |
| 23216s | i don't want to be a map one matthew but |
| 23218s | uh when you're hitting shots like that |
| 23220s | it is hard to uh not feel confident and |
| 23222s | that's exactly what you need as a sniper |
| 23224s | s character you need that mojo you need |
| 23226s | that good juju the confidence to take |
| 23228s | those angles then profits like you know |
| 23230s | what i popped off on the hanzo i'm going |
| 23232s | to pop off on a different character goes |
| 23234s | over to the echo instead for an aerial |
| 23236s | door here's another uh recount |
| 23239s | he just knows man gross |
| 23242s | what |
| 23244s | what |
| 23244s | i am once again requesting profit be |
| 23246s | taken to jail |
| 23248s | i said range duels i didn't save duels |
| 23251s | from another galaxy uh but all right |
| 23254s | profitee just knows the lineups and |
| 23256s | alpha he just can't even get close i |
| 23258s | mean that was one of the first picks was |
| 23259s | alpha yi just trying to get to profit |
| 23262s | but now they can at least duel on the |
| 23263s | same ground or in the same air i guess |
| 23265s | now both on echo |
| 23268s | so you see the point already being |
| 23269s | anchored by those hammonds we'll unlock |
| 23271s | in a second star stalker is more |
| 23273s | involved and now vin name two towards |
| 23275s | the point so seoul just have a lot more |
| 23277s | bodies there while the hangzhou spark |
| 23279s | have the middle of the map ben getting |
| 23281s | tossed up by bernard and bernard |
| 23283s | completely surrounded but enough focus |
| 23286s | right from the spark went into those |
| 23288s | levels of soul that were anchoring that |
| 23290s | objective and they were able to convert |
| 23291s | two kills so spark they do not get boom |
| 23295s | they wait for their moment to strike |
| 23297s | i think joe spark actually played that a |
| 23299s | little bit more uh |
| 23301s | smartly by keeping super rich up on the |
| 23303s | high ground with irony for a while |
| 23305s | longer and gave a great line of sight to |
| 23307s | continue giving packs over to alpha you |
| 23309s | so he could be a bit more audacious |
| 23311s | meanwhile dynasty they had vindim go |
| 23312s | over onto a point and that meant that |
| 23314s | when bernard came in to start contesting |
| 23316s | and chai was there as well they could |
| 23317s | start tearing through that brigitte |
| 23319s | before she could really get on a roll |
| 23320s | with those inspired procs and was just |
| 23322s | out engaged by the speed with which |
| 23324s | hangzhou could hit them see stalker |
| 23327s | going towards the point trying to draw |
| 23328s | some attention away super rich is there |
| 23331s | on brigitte trying to contest it but |
| 23332s | there's just so many cooks in this |
| 23334s | kitchen that uh super rich don't want |
| 23335s | any of that he is getting some |
| 23337s | assistance now from the rest of the |
| 23339s | spark but alpha yi dips profit in the |
| 23340s | sky a pulse behind the shield of vin |
| 23342s | dame will give spark yet another fight |
| 23346s | and starting that comeback to two fights |
| 23348s | in a row and about fifty percent and |
| 23350s | more |
| 23350s | beautiful uh stick there from shine also |
| 23352s | worth anything shy on the tracer not his |
| 23354s | most well-known hero more of a classical |
| 23356s | hit scan but it's definitely within the |
| 23358s | wheelhouse and it's must have been alfie |
| 23360s | who's been playing that particular hero |
| 23362s | this year alfie at the moment is hard |
| 23364s | different profit on the echo 30 ahead in |
| 23367s | terms of all charge and finding the |
| 23368s | final blows as well stalker here needs |
| 23371s | to be the difference maker with their |
| 23372s | own possum and take out super ritual |
| 23374s | irony asap |
| 23376s | and i know i've been talking a lot about |
| 23377s | soccer but shy's just been chasing smurf |
| 23379s | like cat and mouse and just not able to |
| 23382s | burn him down quick enough now spark |
| 23384s | have been able to just chillax near the |
| 23386s | point it's 80 and growing and seoul it's |
| 23389s | coming down to last fight and they got |
| 23391s | to do this without creative it's just |
| 23392s | not looking good discord or bob smurf |
| 23395s | focusing beam out alpha he even has the |
| 23397s | copy he could be as aggressive as he |
| 23399s | wanted he doesn't even need to use the |
| 23400s | ultimate soul haven't killed anything |
| 23403s | this fight is very spark-esque from how |
| 23406s | the last round went but spark i have |
| 23408s | done more than enough it's up to seoul |
| 23411s | to touch the point and no one is nearby |
| 23414s | so a hundred to zero how about that how |
| 23417s | about them apples |
| 23418s | uh i see a lot of apples for hangzhou |
| 23421s | spark and seoul dynasty they had four |
| 23423s | members of the team who didn't even |
| 23426s | reach an ultimate oh |
| 23430s | yikes okay |
| 23432s | so uh |
| 23433s | playoffs profit was more of a one stage |
| 23436s | samantha |
| 23438s | that's okay |
| 23439s | that's okay now we're heading over to |
| 23441s | ruins the topography of this map it's |
| 23444s | very narrow and very long so this is |
| 23446s | where you're looking for your hit scan |
| 23448s | such long-range duelists to be at their |
| 23449s | best shy and profit are once more going |
| 23453s | to be hotly contesting each other unless |
| 23455s | profit here swaps over to the tracer and |
| 23457s | stalker stays on the sojourn and the |
| 23459s | thing about the sojourn here if it stays |
| 23461s | for stalker it's going to have a lot of |
| 23462s | trouble building up towards that railgun |
| 23465s | lemon which means that stalkers uptime |
| 23467s | as a dangerous dbs is going to be |
| 23469s | severely limited compared to shy who has |
| 23471s | dps is becking cool that's what the uh |
| 23474s | ash really brings to the table that |
| 23476s | instant damage |
| 23477s | yes sojourn just having a bit more |
| 23479s | escapability if you can dodge a wrench |
| 23481s | you can dodge a hammock dip dive and |
| 23483s | dodge that's all you need and shy just |
| 23485s | picks off profit he was trying to push |
| 23486s | that left side bridge five on four for |
| 23489s | smart you're gonna take a little bit |
| 23490s | more real estate seoul trying to present |
| 23492s | themselves mainly stalker i wonder if he |
| 23494s | has like 100 charge trying to cite |
| 23496s | somebody but it's just not looking good |
| 23498s | for seoul to get any kind of return on |
| 23500s | that investment bernard also has some |
| 23502s | great scouting and that's a big dynamite |
| 23505s | from shai getting him up to almost 50 |
| 23507s | bob which is such a big ultimate to have |
| 23509s | on a control map |
| 23510s | and the thing is the ash on the control |
| 23512s | map as well being able to set up good |
| 23513s | first fights with that dynamite is |
| 23515s | critical because it means you get this |
| 23517s | initial control and then you can play |
| 23518s | from a defensive posturing where the |
| 23520s | poking of shy is super valuable because |
| 23523s | also denies a huge amount of space from |
| 23525s | stalker to build up that rail |
| 23528s | well |
| 23529s | seoul has to play from behind and oh |
| 23531s | we're going bowling bernard already |
| 23533s | found one |
| 23534s | five on four yet again sparked with the |
| 23536s | first blood |
| 23538s | is their response from seoul they're |
| 23539s | completely trapped in the side and |
| 23541s | that's against the composition of sparks |
| 23543s | you got a dynamite on your face a tile |
| 23544s | drive and more you just don't want to be |
| 23547s | cramped up if your dynasty your style |
| 23549s | does not want to be cramped full spot |
| 23551s | misses thanks to bernard shoving targets |
| 23553s | out of the way thank you i'll save you |
| 23555s | hi |
| 23556s | i'll save it |
| 23557s | homie what a homie but bernard is just |
| 23561s | just helping out bin dame remember that |
| 23563s | when i'm doing triumphs next year you |
| 23565s | know i'm enjoying spark though they |
| 23567s | remain |
| 23568s | alive in this defensive posturing almost |
| 23570s | with the bob as well and the bob is |
| 23571s | invaluable here and because soul dynasty |
| 23573s | don't really have the healing through |
| 23575s | foot or the meatiness of tanking to be |
| 23577s | able to take a battle with the bob on |
| 23579s | the point vin dame drives everyone |
| 23581s | forward with the rally but that over |
| 23583s | health is going to be drained away by |
| 23584s | the dynamite |
| 23586s | well he's speaking of meaning is the |
| 23588s | soul have something to work with here |
| 23590s | with that rally overhead sort of useful |
| 23592s | he got the minds to place to gatekeep |
| 23595s | and girlboss spark away from the |
| 23596s | objective but sparkup just had all they |
| 23598s | have to do is live forehead because just |
| 23601s | existing near the objective they're |
| 23603s | already up to 90 plus percent are they |
| 23605s | about the 200 after what we just saw on |
| 23608s | well was that all a fever dream well it |
| 23610s | is it won't be 200.00 necessarily in |
| 23614s | seoul they're in charge for now |
| 23616s | spark |
| 23617s | they're at their most dangerous when |
| 23619s | they're angry and i believe that |
| 23620s | prophets hanzo made them angry this is |
| 23622s | the fight for hangzhou spark already the |
| 23624s | rally ticking away everyone's got the |
| 23626s | extra temporary green health still |
| 23628s | there's a transcendence if it's even |
| 23630s | needed but super rich is on the case |
| 23632s | oh you're getting pressured creative and |
| 23635s | irony exchanging that and over time into |
| 23637s | effect and profit that's the touch but |
| 23639s | he's so tunneled on iron he has to |
| 23641s | disengage from that rule and because he |
| 23643s | doesn't convert now you have two |
| 23644s | supports dead from seoul dynasty in the |
| 23646s | last seconds stalkers then instantly off |
| 23649s | overclock profit hits a pulse but how |
| 23651s | much does that matter at the end of the |
| 23652s | day there's only two members of the |
| 23654s | seoul dynasty left and all that matters |
| 23656s | is you don't get mentally boomed and |
| 23658s | spark have taught us a lesson they take |
| 23660s | the map |
| 23662s | as overly would say anything is |
| 23664s | combatable |
| 23666s | from one of the most dominant |
| 23667s | performances we've seen |
| 23670s | from profit on the first stage just |
| 23672s | being of a master of his domain hanzo |
| 23676s | shimada |
| 23677s | to |
| 23678s | a hundred to zero |
| 23681s | on lighthouse and then a dominant |
| 23683s | performance on ruins as well lemon this |
| 23687s | is going to be |
| 23689s | a certified banger |
| 23692s | already uh a different script than the |
| 23694s | trio that sold dynasty had against the |
| 23696s | spark in the regular season it's a |
| 23699s | different story sparked up first after |
| 23701s | this break seoul dynasty's choice of map |

| 23924s | this is why you don't tweet after map |
| 23926s | one yes profit can be stopped |
| 23931s | the savings are just in the toilet but |
| 23933s | spark are cashing in map one |
| 23936s | and they really dominate once they turn |
| 23938s | that that well around but it will be up |
| 23940s | the sole to pick what map they want to |
| 23942s | go to next so |
| 23945s | yes soul get the choice uh |
| 23947s | [Music] |
| 23949s | and it's gonna be one where jojo sparker |
| 23951s | found some previous success but seoul |
| 23953s | have also shown themselves to be |
| 23955s | quite the warriors here i can vote and |
| 23959s | when we go over to eichenwald it's one |
| 23961s | of a few maps the moment where we see |
| 23962s | the most |
| 23963s | variety in tanki performances not only |
| 23966s | with the overall approach of the teams |
| 23968s | but also in an inter |
| 23971s | uh kind of like an inter map kind of way |
| 23973s | you see occasional swaps between tanks |
| 23976s | for all three of the points because you |
| 23978s | like to exploit the 90 degree angles on |
| 23980s | the final point you need something with |
| 23981s | a little bit more verticality most of |
| 23983s | the time on second point because those |
| 23984s | shia high grounds are so difficult to |
| 23986s | try and fight against and then on point |
| 23988s | a you can play |
| 23989s | so many different things some teams like |
| 23991s | to play visaya some teams like to play |
| 23993s | the doomfist or the winston and where |
| 23995s | i'm going with this is that for my money |
| 23999s | smurf on seoul is the most omnipotent |
| 24002s | tank we have in the overwatch league |
| 24005s | and the only real competition he has is |
| 24008s | reiner |
| 24009s | and |
| 24010s | reiner gets subbed out on circuit royale |
| 24012s | so smurf wins by default |
| 24016s | i play more so i'm better |
| 24018s | uh |
| 24020s | platinum borders my games say but yeah |
| 24023s | smurf you know when we're co-streaming |
| 24024s | matches like this we look at smurf on |
| 24026s | the zarya on attack i can fall and we're |
| 24029s | like what is he cooking but at least all |
| 24032s | know what hong show sparker cooking |
| 24034s | because hong zhou played eichenwald |
| 24036s | yesterday against fusion and won this |
| 24040s | so clearly seoul have done some studying |
| 24042s | to see not only what spark are playing |
| 24044s | but also where they're positioning |
| 24045s | they're almost stalker getting that one |
| 24047s | shot |
| 24048s | we're in this team stalker returning to |
| 24050s | uh what is his |
| 24052s | you could say signature hero of the |
| 24053s | course of his limited play time with the |
| 24055s | soul dynasty for sojourn there is going |
| 24058s | to be a significant advantage here we |
| 24060s | talk about the railgun charge a lot it's |
| 24062s | much easier to charge up off a sigma you |
| 24064s | can see right now actually trying to |
| 24065s | burst down the sigma shield after |
| 24067s | stalker gets to 100 and then try for the |
| 24069s | head shot stalker's very patient after |
| 24071s | he gets discharged to make sure he can |
| 24072s | line up a shot properly |
| 24074s | you can try for the head shot but can |
| 24075s | you deliver well there's an ante that |
| 24077s | just got delivered expressly too shy the |
| 24080s | immortality was up and it's just done |
| 24082s | and dusted soul just pressure out the |
| 24084s | house with the health pack and spark are |
| 24087s | absolutely trapped and there's only the |
| 24088s | supports remaining and if they get |
| 24090s | staggered out there's absolutely no |
| 24091s | chance for a recontest and seoul can |
| 24094s | even take more space beyond that |
| 24096s | especially getting castle control after |
| 24097s | this point so a very swift first fight |
| 24100s | win from seoul five and a half minutes |
| 24102s | for b |
| 24103s | i'm a great new series but so honestly |
| 24104s | don't need to make any compositional |
| 24106s | swaps moving forward here with smurf |
| 24108s | already on the winston he can have |
| 24110s | access to the high ground with some soft |
| 24111s | dives to try and build up towards that |
| 24113s | nano and smurf actually just catch a |
| 24115s | little bit extra poke here you can see |
| 24117s | that he's just uh tempting |
| 24119s | shy on the sojourn to allow creative to |
| 24121s | heal up off of him and that will get us |
| 24123s | closer to banana which will be the |
| 24124s | primary engagement tool to try and |
| 24126s | dislodge hyung joe spark from a high |
| 24127s | ground position |
| 24129s | yeah i like that shy storing his no-no |
| 24131s | circle whenever soul are just trying to |
| 24132s | rotate and some nice headshots but who |
| 24135s | else is home to help out seoul have made |
| 24137s | their way into castle and shy does not |
| 24139s | want to open that door he's trying to be |
| 24141s | as far away from them as possible and |
| 24143s | saves the jumps for when smurf gets |
| 24145s | close meanwhile seoul yeah they got |
| 24147s | castle but then what they're trying to |
| 24149s | get some cart presents here because |
| 24151s | bernard is anchoring it which by the way |
| 24153s | on the defense he's starting to put some |
| 24155s | orbs into that back line so how do soul |
| 24157s | want to deal with bernard or do they |
| 24159s | want to go after the rest of the defense |
| 24161s | of spark grab flux at the ready bernard |
| 24164s | waiting for them to all chase after him |
| 24165s | you've all been faded this is all a plan |
| 24168s | from the spark bernard with a double |
| 24170s | kill smurf gets naded can he really have |
| 24173s | a response prophet's already killed i |
| 24175s | think one and the immortality don't |
| 24177s | count so seoul tried to invest to have |
| 24180s | an answer and just no one picked up the |
| 24182s | phone |
| 24183s | yeah without that nano it's going to be |
| 24184s | a little bit more difficult for a smurf |
| 24186s | to make a more meaningful engagement of |
| 24188s | course the primal rages here and you |
| 24189s | might use that to actually jump on top |
| 24191s | of super rich and irony and try and do |
| 24192s | like a 180 slap to get them off the high |
| 24194s | ground and into the reach of vindham who |
| 24197s | can really start doing some damage with |
| 24198s | that melee cleave otherwise vending's |
| 24200s | gonna have a good amount of trouble |
| 24202s | actually propping the inspire here what |
| 24204s | an accretion catch this idiot that's |
| 24206s | what i say every time i'm watching nice |
| 24208s | catch dummy |
| 24210s | so soul have to try this again pulsar |
| 24212s | profit hits alpha yi that's an opening |
| 24215s | the overclock activated stalker is on |
| 24217s | the high ground and he's dealing with a |
| 24220s | big old lamp from super rich but now |
| 24222s | transcendence and a super ridge |
| 24224s | amplification matrix uh the card is |
| 24227s | sailing someone has to touch and bernard |
| 24229s | is there to contest it but he's the only |
| 24231s | one there sparker is still rotating from |
| 24234s | bridge they're actually behind the seoul |
| 24235s | dynasty |
| 24237s | stalker is just ruining everyone's lives |
| 24239s | but really dynasty ran out of gas at the |
| 24241s | end the flank from spark actually paid |
| 24243s | off bernard stayed alive long enough to |
| 24245s | stop the cap and seoul had to reset |
| 24248s | i'll tell you what bernard sigma over |
| 24250s | the course of the last two games he's |
| 24251s | had has been absolutely amazing |
| 24255s | and i i think that it's going to be a |
| 24256s | major component in hong kong spoke being |
| 24258s | able to hold this here he essentially |
| 24259s | operates alone a little bit far away |
| 24261s | from super rich and irony and that might |
| 24263s | be able to be exploited by seoul dynasty |
| 24265s | by just diving past bernard onto those |
| 24267s | supports |
| 24268s | however that does leave seoul dynasty |
| 24270s | creative in particular quite exposed |
| 24274s | that's creative it just didn't hit and |
| 24276s | that's that's kind of what you get but |
| 24278s | seoul dynasty rally anchoring now near |
| 24281s | the car but they're all grouped up for |
| 24283s | the gravity flux and at least you have |
| 24284s | the name mid-rally who's getting fluxed |
| 24286s | so didn't end up paying off there for |
| 24288s | bernard at the end profit has been left |
| 24291s | unchecked in the back line once again |
| 24292s | hunting down shy and without shy is that |
| 24295s | the alfajita trying to profit and that's |
| 24297s | a hole has to do soul meters away from |
| 24300s | capping and there's only really two or |
| 24302s | three members from the spark bernard is |
| 24304s | getting hit from every angle that he's |
| 24306s | gonna have to go next i don't think the |
| 24308s | spark or i don't think uh the sparks |
| 24311s | really happens in the bag especially |
| 24313s | when profits going like that creative |
| 24315s | even nano's been deemed to ensure fight |
| 24317s | success because i don't want to be |
| 24319s | missing no seconds even creative |
| 24321s | sleeping irony in the back is kind of |
| 24323s | nice so soulful |
| 24325s | for three minutes |
| 24327s | ah i think i've figured out the soul |
| 24328s | dynasty plan lemon step one |
| 24331s | profit |
| 24332s | step two |
| 24334s | profit oh step three |
| 24337s | profit |
| 24338s | seoul dynasty i really want to see how |
| 24340s | much damage irony has taken because he |
| 24341s | seems to be quite a low tier target on |
| 24344s | the hangzhou spark at the moment he's |
| 24345s | being left alive for a huge amount of |
| 24346s | time it's actually causing seoul dynasty |
| 24349s | quite a few problems in these mid fights |
| 24352s | oh yeah bernard |
| 24353s | is trying to brawl out and maybe even |
| 24355s | able to bubble his back on especially |
| 24357s | shy if he gets pushed by profit |
| 24359s | can't really stop the one-shot potential |
| 24360s | of sojourn notice that bernard has to be |
| 24362s | on his a-game |
| 24364s | you can see that profit is already |
| 24366s | owning the top left so he's already on |
| 24368s | the plank usually that's where shai |
| 24370s | would like to be but he's on the bottom |
| 24371s | right side |
| 24373s | see there's a bit of a brawl in the |
| 24374s | front line i'll be trying to dislodge |
| 24375s | profit from their back line across the |
| 24378s | fades into the shadows goes back to his |
| 24380s | team they'll be up to some ultimates and |
| 24382s | solar coming up on almost every single |
| 24385s | one transcendence first from forced by |
| 24387s | irony and seoul just slowly disengaged |
| 24389s | they can't deal with all those resources |
| 24391s | smurfs and primals the reengaging sues |
| 24394s | from seoul the overclock now the stalker |
| 24396s | has space to work with and he already |
| 24398s | delivers he's killed shy and three ball |
| 24401s | from the spark and what a swift cap from |
| 24404s | seoul with two minutes in the bank |
| 24406s | potential the pains of b have been |
| 24409s | forgotten lemon because point c is an |
| 24412s | absolute breeze for seoul dynasty |
| 24414s | stalker finally comes alive after what |
| 24416s | was admittedly a fairly slow start for |
| 24419s | one of our better stated sojourns that |
| 24422s | we have in the league maybe a little bit |
| 24424s | of nerves admittedly this is uh |
| 24428s | only stalk a second time in a top-tier |
| 24430s | playoffs in the overwatch league has had |
| 24432s | significant success on gen g speaking of |
| 24435s | which genji is seoul dynasty's academy |
| 24436s | team where stalker came from they've |
| 24438s | been sitting on this kid for years he |
| 24441s | was there at the 2019 gauntlet as a part |
| 24444s | of genji and only just got bought up to |
| 24446s | the team proper they've essentially had |
| 24448s | a three year long dibs on stalker so |
| 24451s | seoul dynasty they have invested a huge |
| 24453s | amount in making sure this kid gets on |
| 24455s | this roster |
| 24457s | and when you go sorry on that defense |
| 24458s | it's about that long-term investment but |
| 24460s | it's then spark kept having to use |
| 24462s | ultimates first this clip right here is |
| 24464s | right after irony uses transcendence and |
| 24466s | soul knew it was time to go pedal to the |
| 24468s | metal and use every single ultimate |
| 24471s | because super rich didn't have rally |
| 24473s | there were no resources to make up for |
| 24475s | this and i think seoul even had leftover |
| 24476s | nano at the end so stockard has been |
| 24479s | measured with his approach and seoul |
| 24482s | really good at scaring spark into using |
| 24484s | their oils first and bernard the |
| 24486s | long-term investment of the zarya never |
| 24487s | really paid off he didn't have time to |
| 24489s | scale |
| 24491s | yeah like you said zaya is a heavily |
| 24493s | scaling tank you need multiple fights or |
| 24495s | at least multiple bubble rotations to |
| 24497s | really reach your most effective point |
| 24499s | and smurf simply paid a little bit |
| 24500s | faster to deny burn all those bubble |
| 24503s | rotations before people were in some |
| 24505s | fairly significant peril hongzhou spark |
| 24508s | here they're playing a lower healing |
| 24510s | comp because bernard can try and sustain |
| 24512s | himself a little bit more and we've seen |
| 24513s | burnout go off on some wild goose |
| 24515s | chasers i like involved in particular |
| 24517s | because going through second that's a |
| 24518s | huge pick on vin dame |
| 24520s | and that's what you hope you're |
| 24521s | sojourned to do but slid right into the |
| 24524s | ante and shai was hoping to get minnie |
| 24526s | and profit chases it down so the first |
| 24529s | blood that spark had is nearly forgiven |
| 24532s | by a double kill from profit and spa |
| 24534s | spark thought they had it they thought |
| 24538s | well profit has to get out of here |
| 24539s | quickly if he's discorded that tracer |
| 24541s | duel is not gonna be very preferable to |
| 24544s | take alfie's moved up a touch closer now |
| 24546s | and shy will rejoin the fray and but a |
| 24548s | second now seoul dynasty have backed on |
| 24551s | off and they have to consider how to |
| 24552s | make this engagement happen again |
| 24554s | remember vin games on the lucio which |
| 24556s | allows for a full team speed we're |
| 24557s | actually crouching as a group |
| 24559s | i mean yeah vindy went from zen when he |
| 24561s | got first picked to swapping to lucio |
| 24563s | giving seoul dynasty a chance to engage |
| 24565s | as five and that's a bold choice to make |
| 24568s | not something we usually see him on and |
| 24570s | then they get off the boy my eyes |
| 24573s | oh well two ticks that's what that's |
| 24575s | what you get for giving up two ticks and |
| 24577s | being a little bit too passive on the |
| 24579s | approach so a very swift cap i spark |
| 24582s | all that speed all that power all that |
| 24585s | ferocity and yet no point touch |
| 24587s | unfortunately there for seoul dynasty |
| 24589s | and then they will actually move back |
| 24591s | over to the brigitte here which is uh |
| 24593s | this is an interesting shift in the |
| 24595s | power dynamic here four hundred spark |
| 24597s | west assault dynasty profit should be |
| 24599s | able to get a little bit more in terms |
| 24601s | of feeling that was an ac one thirty |
| 24602s | star pulse bomb doesn't work out |
| 24605s | meanwhile irony has to make the decision |
| 24607s | as to whether he wants to |
| 24609s | uh bring over |
| 24611s | the |
| 24612s | discord orb onto profit rather than |
| 24614s | smurf to make sure that alfie has an |
| 24616s | advantage in that one versus one |
| 24618s | at least when dave's back on the brakes |
| 24620s | you can try and |
| 24621s | stop the incoming dive as much as he can |
| 24623s | profit has already jumped down and smurf |
| 24626s | is there with him the nano given over |
| 24628s | smurf's taking way too many shots though |
| 24631s | but seoul they took the initiative and |
| 24632s | it just did not pay off and now |
| 24635s | the counter clap that is ensuing from |
| 24638s | the spark is just even stronger so |
| 24640s | sparkle they |
| 24641s | started with bernard and alfie going to |
| 24643s | the high ground which scared seoul into |
| 24645s | okay we should actually fight while |
| 24647s | bernard and alpha you're gone just the |
| 24649s | nano didn't work out |
| 24650s | it seemed like a somewhat piecemeal |
| 24652s | engagement as well from assault dynasty |
| 24653s | creatives going over now onto the zen |
| 24655s | was is staying on the ana for the nano |
| 24658s | now with a discord all been played a |
| 24659s | little bit more uh a few more teeth |
| 24662s | behind the sole dynasty engage but |
| 24663s | unfortunately they have an entire |
| 24665s | dentist's office to get through here |
| 24666s | lemon as hunger spark have five |
| 24668s | ultimates good to go at their back and |
| 24670s | call |
| 24671s | yep and now seoul i hope they win this |
| 24674s | fight or this will be as painful as |
| 24676s | pulling teeth that's for sure four alts |
| 24678s | for spark which one do they want to use |
| 24680s | first alpha yi pulses and misses rally |
| 24683s | from super rich but he's just gonna get |
| 24685s | shoved off the map actually i don't even |
| 24686s | know who took that l okay it was super |
| 24688s | rich so he has some tea time while the |
| 24690s | rest of the spark hope to hold this down |
| 24692s | do you even want to use transcendence or |
| 24694s | do you want to meet the same fate well |
| 24696s | irony says okay the primal's over i |
| 24698s | can't be clipped off the map right a few |
| 24700s | more meters to go though from the spark |
| 24701s | and they've used all four ultimates they |
| 24703s | had in the bank and even shy's |
| 24705s | overclocked but it's meant by stalkers |
| 24707s | save ultimate but shy just doesn't have |
| 24710s | a lot of angles to take coming from |
| 24711s | castle and alpha yi he's at least |
| 24713s | converting with kills into the back line |
| 24716s | and spark i mean they still have two |
| 24718s | members at the front but they're still |
| 24720s | three or four from the seoul dynasty |
| 24722s | defending but eventually it was a slow |
| 24725s | struggle but alpha he came alive when it |
| 24727s | mattered the most |
| 24729s | and sparkle can't be they have four |
| 24731s | minutes received getting started seoul |
| 24732s | dynasty fans it's time to feel what we |
| 24734s | call a heckin concern |
| 24736s | because on the desk custer was saying |
| 24738s | that if profit and smurf are in sync |
| 24741s | hungry spark have no chance no matter |
| 24743s | how well shy plays but right now bernard |
| 24746s | and alpha you're actually coalescing on |
| 24747s | targets better than smurf and profit now |
| 24750s | smurf has moved over onto a wrecking |
| 24752s | ball just to try and mirror this one out |
| 24754s | and maybe get better setups off the back |
| 24756s | of these pile drivers but can store for |
| 24758s | even charging for rail to try and follow |
| 24759s | it up no way no way |
| 24762s | oh what's that looks really shiny says |
| 24765s | vendeem and alpha he kills full support |
| 24767s | he's about to dip uh whoever's back |
| 24769s | there running away scaredy cat well i i |
| 24772s | don't think this is gonna work out for |
| 24773s | seoul dynasty right here right now i |
| 24775s | don't think so nope and spark this is a |
| 24777s | pretty large huge time bank so seoul |
| 24779s | don't have a good recontest this is this |
| 24781s | is going to be |
| 24782s | real scary they are coming out of spawn |
| 24785s | bernard is ready with the mines getting |
| 24786s | the call up which spawned or they're |
| 24788s | coming out of all of solar coming from |
| 24790s | the left except creative on the right |
| 24792s | bernard's waiting for his chance he |
| 24794s | actually gets shoved down by smurf what |
| 24795s | a bully but now bernard has to give |
| 24797s | these minds over right he's being so |
| 24799s | patient with them he waits for seoul to |
| 24801s | actually get to the card someone is |
| 24803s | contesting from seoul bernard finally |
| 24805s | drops the minds and smurf is actually |
| 24807s | behind they just forgot about smurf but |
| 24810s | thankfully he's still alive he's taking |
| 24812s | the mines like a champ spark have the |
| 24814s | resources because they have rally and |
| 24816s | seoul they ain't got no kills and they |
| 24819s | shaved a bit of that time bank but it's |
| 24820s | still a pretty big time bank for spark |
| 24823s | at |
| 24828s | i don't know if they exist or not until |
| 24829s | our observers go and have a look at them |
| 24833s | it's been very quiet |
| 24835s | in the creative and vindane camp i think |
| 24839s | and seoul dynasty they were kind of |
| 24841s | scrambling for an identity over the |
| 24843s | course of that defense couldn't really |
| 24844s | set up a good fight |
| 24846s | and |
| 24847s | weirdly it all feels like it snowballed |
| 24849s | from a singular pick shy picks off |
| 24851s | vinday with a well-placed railgun a |
| 24854s | well-placed headshot on a zen vin dame |
| 24857s | has to go lucio to return to the point |
| 24860s | uh quickly using the speed boost and |
| 24862s | then seoul dynasty actually fully |
| 24863s | disengage and make a speed boost |
| 24865s | engagement c9 the point from there and |
| 24867s | then vindang starts to rotate around |
| 24869s | creative is stuck on the ana and they |
| 24871s | can't actually get on to the combat they |
| 24873s | actually want to play until c |
| 24876s | i don't know if vindem's shield got |
| 24878s | broken there but either way alpha yi is |
| 24880s | having himself a game he has progressed |
| 24883s | from alphage to sigma |
| 24885s | yeah he said alpha yi with that with |
| 24887s | that pulse bomb just the name was like |
| 24891s | me go forward |
| 24893s | and then |
| 24894s | and then you know the shield could have |
| 24896s | been there it's at his toes i don't know |
| 24898s | what was going to happen there but |
| 24899s | canceling that rally was pretty massive |
| 24901s | for the spark alpha yi is having a |
| 24903s | fantastic tracer performance today |
| 24906s | stalker no shot at the beginning |
| 24908s | seoul dynasty with a slightly smaller |
| 24910s | time bank we'll get to attack first see |
| 24912s | how this goes |
| 24914s | all right remember stalker's playbook |
| 24916s | here build up the rail |
| 24919s | be patient hit a support in the head |
| 24922s | and now |
| 24923s | when they're not up against bernard |
| 24925s | sigma it's gonna be a little bit more |
| 24926s | difficult to do that bernard's not gonna |
| 24928s | be catching too much poke here simply an |
| 24930s | exchange of fire between these two |
| 24932s | sojourns and to be honest shy can afford |
| 24935s | to do this for a little while because |
| 24936s | super rich is essentially acting as a |
| 24937s | pocket right now |
| 24939s | oh no no circle being thrown out but |
| 24942s | actually the creative has been found |
| 24943s | alone he just didn't feel like rotating |
| 24946s | that day so good capitalization by |
| 24949s | bernard and alpha yi who are just |
| 24950s | harassing the back line and they even |
| 24952s | chase down smurf before he could even |
| 24954s | find him the gauge |
| 24955s | so this already cuts down one fight for |
| 24957s | seoul and they're only left with one |
| 24958s | minute and profit can't afford to be |
| 24960s | staggered here |
| 24961s | probably picks up omega so at least it |
| 24963s | was uh a little bit too dangerous to |
| 24965s | consider |
| 24966s | for hunger spark to move in there but |
| 24968s | stalkers uh at least even with shy or |
| 24971s | not charge however it feels like seoul |
| 24973s | dynasty but being a little bit piecemeal |
| 24974s | here with their engagements they can't |
| 24976s | afford to allow creative to be caught |
| 24978s | out again because that discord orb is |
| 24980s | just too important when it comes to |
| 24981s | being able to win these dps doors which |
| 24983s | at the moment hangzhou spark are |
| 24985s | dominating it |
| 24987s | 30 seconds remaining |
| 24989s | no mistakes can be had profits already |
| 24991s | been forced to use recall he goes back |
| 24992s | to the team and alpha he stays with dave |
| 24995s | again hey this time he had a shield up |
| 24996s | it's just pointing them the wrong way |
| 24997s | and then alpha yi goes after creative |
| 25000s | there's no support for seoul alpha yay's |
| 25002s | out of 3k |
| 25004s | okay there's a recall smurf is one hp |
| 25006s | and now there's just no one left to |
| 25008s | touch in nine seconds seoul not getting |
| 25010s | anything done here |
| 25013s | creative and wind game again and again |
| 25014s | evaporated profit at least has the set |
| 25016s | up here to go and grab over time and |
| 25018s | pulse on his back pocket but it's a miss |
| 25020s | super rich dodges the well-timed shield |
| 25022s | bash profit returns but there is no more |
| 25025s | recall and you see bernard what's he |
| 25027s | cooking lemon with this minefield oh |
| 25030s | mines are on the menu it cuts off seoul |
| 25032s | dynasties rotations creative is just the |
| 25034s | ugly duckling who gets left behind on |
| 25036s | every rotation it's not transcendence to |
| 25039s | forgive that rotation bud and seoul |
| 25041s | dynasty they still have everyone in the |
| 25043s | mini room behind the camera but all you |
| 25045s | see is death because shy just hit a |
| 25048s | nasty 3k and spark had three leftover |
| 25051s | ultimates that was disgusting by the |
| 25054s | spark |
| 25055s | super rich attempting a touch of mental |
| 25057s | warfare there with uh c9 in chat seoul |
| 25060s | dynasty once again i gotta remind you |
| 25062s | both of these maps were seoul dynasties |
| 25065s | picks they entered these arenas lemon |
| 25068s | with an inherent understanding that they |
| 25071s | were |
| 25071s | better and the thing is hangzhou spark |
| 25074s | as well |
| 25075s | they've essentially |
| 25077s | popped off on point a on two different |
| 25079s | compositions now bernard sigma did |
| 25082s | pretty well especially on point b for |
| 25084s | stalling seoul dynasty |
| 25086s | and swapping over to a ball instead and |
| 25088s | making sure that seoul dynasties |
| 25089s | preparation just filled uh an attack |
| 25092s | against potentially the same defense |
| 25094s | again was stymied before they even knew |
| 25096s | what was happening |
| 25098s | seoul dynasty are looking a touch lost |
| 25100s | right now |
| 25101s | a little bit this is uh some of the i |
| 25103s | mean creative he could have steel toes |
| 25105s | and there's no kicking three people off |
| 25107s | of you great minds from bernard this |
| 25110s | stopped the rotations creative had an |
| 25111s | excuse that time but alfie is also |
| 25114s | sticking the name |
| 25115s | they're they're killing creative off |
| 25117s | rotations every time and then shy just |
| 25120s | slides in and kills three while seoul |
| 25122s | thought they could maybe win without |
| 25124s | discord but that's pretty cap so spark |
| 25127s | have 237 on the clock you get 33 and |
| 25130s | they go to series point that's tire ball |
| 25135s | yep it's tire ball not quite come |
| 25137s | backable |
| 25139s | but but like a not on us on a ship lemon |
| 25142s | it is certainly tireable hungzhou spark |
| 25145s | once again return to all reliable the |
| 25147s | default composition seoul dynasty now |
| 25150s | moving into the mirror |
| 25152s | creative and vindicating at least they |
| 25154s | have themselves a defensive position but |
| 25156s | they can't afford to get first picked |
| 25157s | yet again |
| 25161s | going well the first 30 seconds here for |
| 25163s | spark |
| 25164s | left side approach irony trying to |
| 25166s | charge up find any picks he can you see |
| 25168s | how profit is just still near the point |
| 25170s | he's just so scared of making any kind |
| 25171s | of mistake you can't afford to lose |
| 25173s | anyone this is one fight win for spark |
| 25175s | and series point in the bag the soul |
| 25177s | playing real deep and around the house |
| 25180s | kratos has been separated away from the |
| 25181s | flock it was this disruptor shot from |
| 25184s | shy that broke up creative and oh and |
| 25186s | the brigitta and that's just it there |
| 25189s | was a fight that happened |
| 25190s | but the supports just died and then |
| 25192s | spark went in the map so thai not |
| 25194s | tireable i guess |
| 25196s | i have analysis lemon and i have |
| 25199s | thoughts |
| 25200s | but most of all i have one word yikes |
| 25204s | seoul dynasty |
| 25205s | their supports have been thoroughly |
| 25208s | cyberbullied by the hangzhou spark and |
| 25210s | no matter what happens it seems like the |
| 25212s | pace of a hangzhou spark is out doing |
| 25215s | the seoul dynasty we look at profit we |
| 25217s | look at smurf and super rich and irony |
| 25220s | should not have more than one dimension |
| 25223s | let alone more than one health point |
| 25226s | left |
| 25227s | but no it's shy alfie bernard just |
| 25230s | absolutely dominating creative and |
| 25232s | vindam they are gonna go |
| 25234s | and i don't know get it together i am |
| 25237s | frankly flabbergasted lemon |
| 25240s | uh is this soul's odyssey uh number one |
| 25241s | david apex well we're gonna see about |
| 25243s | that uh we're gonna |
| 25245s | throw you to a break when we get back i |
| 25247s | guess we're on seoul dynasties last life |

| 25499s | mercy sips rise up a new skin just |
| 25503s | dropped oh look at her gorgeous royal |
| 25507s | night available now and you only have |
| 25509s | until august 19th to get them so uh |
| 25512s | don't be under that rock get use your |
| 25514s | 200 league tokens i know you're gonna be |
| 25516s | here all night you might as well put |
| 25517s | them to a good cause royal knight is |
| 25520s | looking fly and so do the hong show |
| 25522s | spark which is not what i was expecting |
| 25524s | to see today |
| 25526s | mostly because seoul dynasty are the |
| 25527s | number one team in apac |
| 25529s | according to the notes but all i'm |
| 25531s | seeing leg day right now is a 2-0 for |
| 25533s | spark |
| 25534s | yeah i'm seeing it away for spark i'm |
| 25536s | seeing two maps that seoul dynasty |
| 25538s | picked and two maps that seoul dynasty |
| 25540s | failed to register their mark upon we |
| 25543s | have ourselves a couple of substitutions |
| 25545s | lemon the first one a zoo i want to zoom |
| 25547s | in on here is stalker out and fits in |
| 25550s | profit and fits or profits together of |
| 25552s | course as they so lovely fit has been |
| 25555s | the primary dps line of soul dynasty for |
| 25557s | a long time fitz is a prodigious flick |
| 25561s | scan player on both the uh |
| 25563s | the widowmaker and the ash and of course |
| 25566s | on the sombra as well but on the other |
| 25568s | side spark have got a response slavin |
| 25572s | you've bought ian fitz you've bought in |
| 25574s | your main dps i guess fine master this |
| 25577s | one time i will use 10 of my power and i |
| 25580s | will draw the primal blade from its |
| 25583s | sheath gucci has been released from his |
| 25585s | kung fu panda tai lung style prison to |
| 25588s | play the winston on dorado |
| 25591s | yeah the actual power levels of alfie |
| 25592s | can we talk about that for a second |
| 25594s | going from zero percent on illios well |
| 25596s | to being a prophet's target dummy |
| 25599s | to matching him on echo beating profit |
| 25602s | on echo and then beating him down on |
| 25604s | tracer i beat alpha yi is is the picture |
| 25608s | of composure when it comes to just |
| 25610s | turning things around and he's having |
| 25612s | just the best performance of his life |
| 25614s | right now on the tracer carrying spark |
| 25617s | to that victory back on i could vault if |
| 25619s | you did just miss that but this is still |
| 25621s | soul dynasty's choice |
| 25623s | surely this one won't fumble we go to |
| 25625s | dorado and it will be a hundred spark on |
| 25629s | the defense gush way said gotcha i |
| 25631s | actually left the spot i almost got you |
| 25633s | no erisa |
| 25635s | almost had you |
| 25637s | watch it for a second but no but the |
| 25639s | primal blade comes in to do primal blade |
| 25641s | things and smurf versus goose way in a |
| 25644s | winston versus winston is uh it would be |
| 25646s | a very fun match up |
| 25648s | and you know what gushway is probably |
| 25650s | going to spend a good amount of time |
| 25651s | here trying to bully assault dynasty |
| 25652s | backline as as bernard went out probably |
| 25655s | gave gushwa a high five as he made his |
| 25657s | way into the gaming room like yep those |
| 25659s | supports are toast man easy clap just |
| 25661s | farm them creative and vin dame |
| 25663s | definitely need to be covering each |
| 25664s | other a little bit more here or the rest |
| 25666s | of seoul dynasty needs to be doing a |
| 25668s | little bit more in order to |
| 25669s | force gooshway to play more of a peeling |
| 25672s | role by putting more pressure onto irony |
| 25675s | and super rich you've been playing quite |
| 25676s | safe and allowing alfie and shai to |
| 25679s | simply pop off |
| 25680s | well he's creative has a better kid to |
| 25682s | defend himself with he has the sleep and |
| 25684s | the ante just don't forget kids |
| 25686s | rotations rotations rotations don't just |
| 25689s | focus on fragging because you'll you'll |
| 25691s | face the soul dynasty treatment uh like |
| 25693s | we saw on last map so |
| 25695s | his soul on the attack already |
| 25697s | establishing themselves in the top right |
| 25699s | where fitz can charge up off of bouche |
| 25701s | way he's being connected to someone and |
| 25703s | albany the first victim of course the |
| 25705s | casa cruise of just hyping up the man |
| 25707s | then he gets shot first first blood |
| 25709s | though |
| 25710s | and it's going well |
| 25712s | i don't think we're in kansas anymore |
| 25713s | lemon it's an entirely different game |
| 25715s | for alfa yi a brand new flick scout a |
| 25718s | brand new threat and hangzhou spark are |
| 25720s | forced to back on off here feels like |
| 25722s | this is a team that's a little bit less |
| 25723s | confident in playing without alpha yi or |
| 25726s | assault dynasty they do enjoy taking |
| 25728s | their three versus fours |
| 25731s | oh oh my |
| 25733s | god way |
| 25734s | the fitz continues to shoot things he is |
| 25736s | subbed in |
| 25737s | and is just bangs and then leaves i mean |
| 25740s | fitz is delivering on every level alpha |
| 25742s | yi get caught in the middle of three |
| 25744s | people while half hp fits gets slapped |
| 25746s | good peel by irony maybe at least alpha |
| 25748s | he gets to live and has a clap back for |
| 25752s | fitz especially just for him great pulse |
| 25755s | bomb and |
| 25756s | thinks he's safe oh alphagi didn't want |
| 25759s | to commit too many cooks in that kitchen |
| 25761s | the rally starts from ben dame creative |
| 25762s | is currently slapped so i don't know how |
| 25764s | much seoul want to leave him behind |
| 25767s | spark wanting to capitalize on that and |
| 25768s | they don't now you got a nano van dame |
| 25771s | instead of smurf on the primal well it's |
| 25774s | fine because seoul dynasty is still |
| 25775s | gonna fight win and a swift cap for a |
| 25778s | holy hell in a cell batman |
| 25781s | vin dame nanod |
| 25782s | smurf primaling that was a box of pain |
| 25786s | and hangzhou spark got their ankles |
| 25788s | broken within goofy didn't even get the |
| 25789s | chance to pop the primal rage and so |
| 25792s | dynasty are making pretty good time here |
| 25794s | fitz has turned up changed outsmart |
| 25796s | smurf's undetected smurf is an unknown |
| 25799s | factor and actually gets help |
| 25800s | disengaging there thanks to super rich |
| 25802s | cheers bud very nicely just paying back |
| 25804s | what bernard did before |
| 25806s | yeah he just tried to smurf in the back |
| 25808s | line it just didn't and he didn't get |
| 25810s | punished it did force goose way to pop |
| 25811s | down it's not like seoul had a good |
| 25813s | punish there fits not charged up there's |
| 25816s | the engage off the high ground but |
| 25817s | fences on the flight with overclock shy |
| 25819s | doing the same thing and fitz is the |
| 25821s | first to back down what a coward but |
| 25822s | it's okay i respect not wanting to int i |
| 25825s | wish my teammates were like that more |
| 25827s | but it just means a full overclocked |
| 25829s | exchange and really the the defense |
| 25831s | benefit from it |
| 25834s | unfortunately not relatable content i |
| 25835s | missed there from shy |
| 25837s | and fitz tries to take advantage of that |
| 25839s | expended railgun but you can see how |
| 25840s | quickly goose way is on this trying to |
| 25842s | deny you fits this space now realizing |
| 25844s | okay maybe i can't do as much to try and |
| 25846s | bully creative and vin dane but what i |
| 25848s | need to do is deny space from fitz and |
| 25850s | now he denies life from bits |
| 25852s | prophets in the background he was hold |
| 25854s | spawn |
| 25855s | and he kind of needs to start killing |
| 25856s | things quick because solar down two or |
| 25859s | three at this point and |
| 25861s | probably did kill irony and he's getting |
| 25863s | some good car push just wish he had some |
| 25865s | friends to help out in this fight just |
| 25867s | the one and done and profits gone |
| 25871s | that'll be more than enough |
| 25873s | one of the difficult things to profit |
| 25874s | here is that lining up this pulse bomb |
| 25877s | he has to make a considerably longer |
| 25879s | commute because trace doesn't have a |
| 25880s | huge amount of hurting ability he's |
| 25881s | actually caught here by alfie now if he |
| 25883s | takes a huge amount of damage the |
| 25884s | initial clip from profit is already |
| 25886s | forced out that recall and now he's in a |
| 25888s | position to try and get an excellent |
| 25889s | sticky onto super rich |
| 25891s | irony is playing so deep too so it's |
| 25893s | really hard to dive him |
| 25894s | irony will be able to hit the sleeve |
| 25897s | as long as smurf times doesn't time to |
| 25899s | bubble well yes in that case profit |
| 25901s | hoping to close the gap has already |
| 25903s | forced to recall seoul takes shelter |
| 25906s | below the bridge |
| 25908s | at least if they could be heading |
| 25909s | towards the card here which seems |
| 25910s | unprotected so profit hoping to get some |
| 25913s | good push in but kuchwa is in the back |
| 25914s | line with nano creative misses to sleep |
| 25917s | gets tossed up then they forced to use |
| 25919s | the rally just to keep everyone healed |
| 25921s | up now smurf hoping to do just that to |
| 25924s | irony but forced to back away great peel |
| 25927s | by gushway and profit gets the execute |
| 25929s | onto shy it's a five versus three and |
| 25932s | profit finally gets a chance to shine |
| 25934s | where was profit from elio swells well |
| 25937s | here he is soul few more kills to go and |
| 25940s | they get the cat b three and a half |
| 25942s | minutes receive |
| 25943s | and smurf back on the winston here is |
| 25945s | providing a lot more sort of space for |
| 25947s | profit to work with we saw that super |
| 25948s | rich and irony they were being a |
| 25950s | vibranium support line they were |
| 25951s | unbreakable together and not dying but |
| 25954s | that did require all of their resources |
| 25956s | to be expended |
| 25958s | amongst themselves as supports and the |
| 25960s | alfie shy goose way they had a little |
| 25962s | bit less to sustain them and profits |
| 25964s | damage would add up over time moving |
| 25966s | into third point here seoul dynasty |
| 25968s | still have three minutes and fitz can |
| 25970s | open this up strongly with an overclock |
| 25972s | to try and make sure these long sight |
| 25974s | lines can't be sustained by hangzhou |
| 25977s | it's like seoul taking up that high |
| 25979s | ground already alpha force the recall |
| 25981s | after the pulse doesn't hit profit |
| 25984s | sticks up though and that's the revenge |
| 25986s | soul dynasty death really needed |
| 25988s | overclock 2 on the high ground it's |
| 25990s | getting a ton of value for seoul dynasty |
| 25991s | already on the five on three but a quick |
| 25993s | disengage from sparta uh just kidding |
| 25995s | gooshways in the back of the tribal oh |
| 25997s | the rest of the team are leaving though |
| 25999s | and he didn't get the memo until now so |
| 26001s | the primal is just to be a distraction a |
| 26003s | zoning primal even but not gonna happen |
| 26005s | to sustain for the last play coming up |
| 26007s | and that's a pretty thick looking time |
| 26009s | bank for seoul but they don't have |
| 26010s | profit so can they keep this going looks |
| 26012s | like they have some good pressure on the |
| 26014s | spawns of the spark but now they have |
| 26016s | space to work with and shy slides right |
| 26018s | into fitz has the overclock ready might |
| 26020s | not even need it and now he's getting |
| 26022s | jumped up by smurf and shy is still |
| 26025s | killing through all the fire in the |
| 26026s | flames he do be carrying on and seoul |
| 26029s | have been wiped away and they will be |
| 26031s | able to sail away to sea yet |
| 26033s | i love how much faith shai has in his |
| 26036s | supports when he gets dived on by smurf |
| 26038s | a two-time world champion of overwatch |
| 26041s | league almost like yeah i'm pretty sure |
| 26042s | i can tank this i've got irony here no |
| 26045s | i'm going to be dying to this bozo |
| 26048s | that's a rick boza one creative as well |
| 26052s | i'm joe spark here |
| 26053s | have built up the uh preemptive railgun |
| 26056s | so shy once again is gonna be looking |
| 26058s | for an opening pick creative would be |
| 26060s | the uh the gold standard here |
| 26064s | oh |
| 26065s | he's on the high ground shy trying to |
| 26067s | overclock in the background i guess |
| 26069s | while he adds nano |
| 26070s | didn't connect on any shots this engage |
| 26072s | so strong from seoul and smurf is |
| 26074s | slapped and now these supports again |
| 26076s | left unprotected vietnamese already down |
| 26078s | creative is left on his own and at this |
| 26080s | point still need all five members to be |
| 26082s | alive to push this car to the end and |
| 26084s | they only have a minute to do it smurf |
| 26087s | on the primal tossing up shy against the |
| 26090s | wall but just not wanting to fully |
| 26091s | commit just is scared to just stagger |
| 26094s | out and waste precious seconds and he |
| 26096s | still gets staggered because shy doesn't |
| 26098s | give up |
| 26099s | this primal rage has bitten off a touch |
| 26101s | more than it can punch in goose way |
| 26102s | they're great synergy and we saw that |
| 26104s | shy was a little bit trepidatious about |
| 26105s | moving forward into a crossfire of three |
| 26107s | soul dynasty members gucci comes into |
| 26109s | that tiny area and puts down the winston |
| 26111s | bubble that cuts off creative from |
| 26113s | healing both pro uh fitz and vindam and |
| 26116s | gives a bunch of safety for shy to |
| 26117s | operate from profit used their pulse |
| 26119s | bomb somewhere wasn't towards a hangzhou |
| 26121s | spark member and that's one less tool in |
| 26123s | the bank lemon with only 20 seconds |
| 26125s | remaining for |
| 26126s | seoul dynasty |
| 26128s | well in the multiverse of madness that |
| 26130s | would have hit somebody in some galaxy |
| 26132s | but not this one soul last fight 12 |
| 26135s | seconds left |
| 26136s | some cart push fits hoping to get this |
| 26139s | overclock going with the double post |
| 26141s | bomb that is not what the soul wanted to |
| 26143s | order off the menu how do they pull this |
| 26146s | off in the three versus five it's just |
| 26147s | not gonna happen chief gooshway with the |
| 26150s | primal is gonna assure they can't even |
| 26152s | touch and that'll be the end of the road |
| 26154s | for now for seoul dynasty as last life |
| 26157s | coming up spark had to push to this box |
| 26159s | of victory to sweep the series 3-0 |
| 26163s | oh i tell you what lemon |
| 26164s | good winston's on dorado are a joy to |
| 26167s | behold you can essentially become an |
| 26169s | omnipotent guerrilla deity and that's |
| 26172s | what goucher was bringing to the table |
| 26173s | and the thing is because gushe was able |
| 26175s | to demand so much attention again and |
| 26178s | again that allowed alpha yi to make |
| 26180s | these precision incisions with the pulse |
| 26183s | bombs and with the pulse pistols to |
| 26186s | take away chip away seoul dynasty's |
| 26188s | numbers finding a final blow here uh an |
| 26191s | expenditure of a health pack there one |
| 26193s | of the players i really want to |
| 26194s | highlight from alfie even though it |
| 26196s | ended up being inconsequential is when |
| 26198s | they were chasing down members of the |
| 26199s | seoul dynasty in what was ostensibly a |
| 26201s | five versus five but happening outside |
| 26203s | of hangzhou sparks territory so it was |
| 26205s | almost like we were looking for stagger |
| 26206s | kills alpha yi was prioritizing using |
| 26209s | his blinks to steal the mini health back |
| 26211s | from profit and that's not just to deny |
| 26213s | the healing but it also forces vindaym |
| 26215s | to use one of his repair packs to keep |
| 26217s | profit in that door and that means that |
| 26219s | creative becomes more and more easily |
| 26221s | killable for goose way |
| 26223s | i'm just saying if okay well let me look |
| 26225s | at what alfie is doing oh yeah this is |
| 26227s | the double stick it hits smurf and then |
| 26229s | you know |
| 26230s | come have a look at this do you have a |
| 26232s | defuse |
| 26233s | he jumped |
| 26234s | prophet blinked away he had the right |
| 26235s | idea smurf just said hug me through |
| 26238s | death |
| 26240s | i gotta hug anyone who had a perfect or |
| 26243s | just had this bracket because anyone |
| 26245s | with a brain would have thought okay |
| 26246s | seoul dynasty number one should be |
| 26248s | winning this so i want to talk to |
| 26249s | whoever has the perfect bracket who |
| 26251s | would have predicted spark to go this |
| 26253s | far but this is a good series this is |
| 26255s | fun |
| 26257s | i'm having a great time |
| 26260s | [Laughter] |
| 26262s | oh |
| 26263s | goosh way |
| 26264s | is gonna be just uh playing space |
| 26267s | control at the moment as fitz is |
| 26270s | hard scoping in on the ash one of the |
| 26272s | things that's quite interesting here is |
| 26274s | that ash can actually be quite |
| 26275s | effectively dived by the sojourn more so |
| 26278s | than something like uh hanzo who can |
| 26279s | actually pop the storm out to stop |
| 26282s | a wicked slide die |
| 26285s | yeah i think this will be a lot easier |
| 26286s | for fitz to get away |
| 26289s | especially if creative doesn't hit the |
| 26290s | sleep just hasn't happened a whole lot |
| 26292s | often but at least profit hits the shots |
| 26295s | goes after gushway |
| 26297s | and now spark are just getting free car |
| 26298s | push but now they're going into this |
| 26300s | little room and super rich is very much |
| 26303s | overextended and he's anti and there's |
| 26305s | no healing through that and even irony |
| 26307s | tried to help and he gets smoked too so |
| 26309s | uh seoul they hold for now |
| 26313s | this is such a powerful area so honestly |
| 26315s | you want to exploit this for as long as |
| 26316s | possible lemon trader and vindem can |
| 26318s | both essentially reign free on the high |
| 26320s | ground and put down huge amounts of |
| 26321s | healing and damage and it allows fit |
| 26323s | some real freedom to operate as well and |
| 26325s | critically for smurf he can make a drop |
| 26327s | down engagement |
| 26330s | without having to expend his jump |
| 26332s | goodbye super rich that was uh that was |
| 26334s | quite intimate a stick wasn't it |
| 26337s | yeah you had the drop down all right |
| 26338s | just |
| 26339s | with one of these look me in my eyes |
| 26341s | when you stick me |
| 26343s | spike |
| 26346s | still the attack i know it hasn't moved |
| 26348s | very far almost half the time bank gone |
| 26350s | alpha yi is right below the defense he |
| 26353s | wants to sneak up those stairs if he can |
| 26354s | they maybe go after creative and vin |
| 26356s | dame the way he did on nikon vault where |
| 26358s | was that now shai is on the high ground |
| 26360s | he gets narrowed but he jumps down and |
| 26362s | now he's got to make something out of |
| 26363s | nothing he's got the jump yet again goes |
| 26366s | up kills vendame bubble in his way |
| 26368s | hoping to burst this both physically and |
| 26370s | morally and it looks like seoul even |
| 26372s | threw that bubble around that we're |
| 26373s | allowed to disengage shy slides back in |
| 26376s | kills creative and that has to be enough |
| 26379s | to ward away seoul dynasty smurf is |
| 26381s | going to buy time but doesn't even have |
| 26382s | time to primal |
| 26384s | maybe saving it for point b because i |
| 26386s | don't even know if still have a |
| 26387s | recontest at this point |
| 26389s | something had enough in for team number |
| 26390s | seven order up man that'll do just fine |
| 26393s | for shy who now has access to the |
| 26394s | overclock the pass the volt charge grabs |
| 26396s | it in the end bob is available if fitz |
| 26398s | can only get there and yes bob impacts |
| 26400s | directly with the car so that isn't |
| 26402s | moving for a couple of seconds |
| 26404s | and it's right at the front okay at |
| 26405s | least you gotta sleep from irony that |
| 26407s | stops it for now there's some initial |
| 26409s | damage going in and spark now forced to |
| 26411s | invest ultimates including goose way you |
| 26413s | got slept slept while he was trying to |
| 26415s | pry ball |
| 26416s | it's a spark can do they still have this |
| 26419s | in the bag this was all off of a stall |
| 26421s | from profit and a bob thrown by fitz of |
| 26424s | what a massive turnaround from seoul now |
| 26426s | spark only half a minute they think this |
| 26428s | is winnable they're starting the rally |
| 26431s | and they're fighting at point b can we |
| 26433s | get a touch on the point please well |
| 26437s | fitz is dead profit he's keeping this |
| 26439s | fight alive over on the point it's three |
| 26442s | versus five i think favoring the seoul |
| 26444s | dynasty and now they're nanowitting |
| 26446s | smurf just to clear up reinforcements |
| 26448s | from the spark the fight's not even |
| 26450s | happening near the car and that's what |
| 26452s | you get they're gonna cap |
| 26455s | what were they cooking |
| 26458s | irony and super rich essentially |
| 26461s | marooned in the back line super just |
| 26463s | like oh this is so sad can i have one |
| 26465s | gifted nano please and the nano indeed |
| 26468s | gifted over wax through profit and i |
| 26471s | think that seoul dynasty they over |
| 26473s | commit when it comes to that |
| 26474s | transcendence because there was no way |
| 26476s | for fitz to avoid being anti there so |
| 26479s | vindham essentially uses his trance |
| 26480s | there for nothing just to try and keep |
| 26482s | fitz alive and i think that maybe that |
| 26485s | was just a bad counting of cooldowns |
| 26487s | from south dynasty but in the end was |
| 26489s | hugely impactful |
| 26491s | ah caught them staring alpha you could |
| 26493s | have got the stick well it's okay |
| 26495s | vanilla shots just as good not even |
| 26497s | needing to use ultimates is actually |
| 26498s | really good gooshway has killed two he's |
| 26500s | got slept alfie has his back and you've |
| 26502s | talked about that synergy before and |
| 26504s | goosebump can keep playing aggro because |
| 26506s | you guys primal hasn't been a problem |
| 26508s | though uh the small problem profit and |
| 26510s | smurf are doing the same thing and |
| 26511s | they're in sparks backline and have |
| 26513s | killed creative |
| 26515s | so there's still progress on the cart |
| 26517s | though so soul might have to think about |
| 26518s | that soon |
| 26520s | oh that's a tough kill to drop however |
| 26522s | smurf getting out here if he survives |
| 26524s | this is huge that's a great amount of |
| 26525s | nano charge for creative that can be |
| 26527s | given over for free and yes smurf will |
| 26530s | survive |
| 26532s | profit sacrifices a lot of his life |
| 26534s | force here just to keep this car in |
| 26535s | place this allows for smurf to set up |
| 26536s | for a fresh dive almost dead already oh |
| 26539s | the shield is barely up for ben dave and |
| 26541s | he gets healed back to full how does he |
| 26543s | live that i have no idea profit misses |
| 26546s | the pulse he's auntie and forced to |
| 26547s | recall and he's in the middle of five |
| 26549s | people alpha he has the blinks he has |
| 26551s | the shots and everyone's dropping down |
| 26553s | in front of balfougi |
| 26555s | so now five versus three spark even half |
| 26557s | the nano who sure will take a little |
| 26558s | nappy nap and i don't know how much gas |
| 26561s | soul got in the tank smurf was also anti |
| 26563s | and he's in the back line dying and not |
| 26566s | much of a recontest for seoul at least |
| 26568s | the card hasn't been pushing a whole lot |
| 26570s | so definitely a touch available from |
| 26572s | profit but smurf is last to die so that |
| 26574s | sucks |
| 26574s | yeah there's been some good objective |
| 26576s | griefing here from profit just to |
| 26578s | continually keep it contested look at |
| 26579s | this gooseberry's already in the back |
| 26581s | line causing problems and he's got a |
| 26583s | primal if he needs to pop it this is bad |
| 26585s | news for seoul |
| 26586s | and the bubble from goose ray's just |
| 26588s | forcing soul dynasty to extend forward |
| 26590s | and now they have to nano smurf good |
| 26592s | small by profit just to make this fight |
| 26594s | possible but gush way is making living |
| 26597s | impossible for seoul dynasty's backline |
| 26600s | continues to bully them stuff them into |
| 26602s | lockers vendaive got slapped and he's |
| 26605s | last to die so spark will be capping b |
| 26608s | and they only have two minutes for c |
| 26611s | in 2022 gorillas have learned sign |
| 26614s | language and tool use |
| 26616s | in the 2060s when overwatch 2 takes |
| 26618s | place their tool use has expanded |
| 26619s | significantly lemon the primal blade is |
| 26622s | a huge evolutionary trait for goose way |
| 26625s | to pick up and boy is he primal blading |
| 26627s | today seoul dynasty at least they've |
| 26629s | drained down the clock significantly |
| 26631s | there's only a minute and a half here |
| 26632s | for hangzhou sparks so this is a far |
| 26634s | from guaranteed win as seoul dynasty get |
| 26637s | closer and closer to that rally |
| 26639s | and just with the amount of push that |
| 26640s | spark already have this is within one |
| 26642s | fight territory to sweep the series 3-0 |
| 26645s | but seoul will go down without a fight |
| 26647s | it's been three or four kills against |
| 26649s | only the two that shot had which was a |
| 26651s | valiant effort with the overclock was |
| 26652s | shot down almost immediately so seoul |
| 26655s | gets to breathe for now |
| 26657s | i think i got the wrong memo there lemon |
| 26660s | that would have been so good to have |
| 26662s | especially against the rally when |
| 26663s | vindaya music just stripped away all of |
| 26665s | that additional health |
| 26667s | but now hunger spark they're gonna be |
| 26668s | moving into a potentially final fight |
| 26670s | here depending on how long they take for |
| 26672s | setup with limited resources only really |
| 26675s | a nano and yes it's an advantage over |
| 26676s | creative's nano but if he can stay alive |
| 26678s | for a good portion of this fight that |
| 26679s | now will be up in no time and fitz |
| 26681s | almost has an overclock of his own plus |
| 26683s | on top of all of this hunger spark have |
| 26685s | to invest resources to get through these |
| 26687s | chokes and find the high ground against |
| 26688s | smurf |
| 26690s | yeah and he's like get out of the way |
| 26691s | alpha i got to nano the right person |
| 26693s | here i can't mess this up prophet messes |
| 26695s | up the pulse though but spark head in |
| 26698s | there's the nano on the gush way forces |
| 26700s | out the rally from vin dame he shield |
| 26702s | bashes back to spawn fits thought he had |
| 26704s | a chance on the right side and gushway |
| 26706s | keeps them in |
| 26707s | and that is a big answer or at least |
| 26709s | heals from creative at the very least |
| 26711s | overclocked from fifth on the off angle |
| 26712s | no bubble to really stop him until |
| 26714s | gushway takes it for himself he has the |
| 26716s | primal rage and gushy is in the back but |
| 26719s | seoul dynasty on the counter flank they |
| 26721s | can't seem to get the same kills and |
| 26723s | hogs or spark are getting the push and |
| 26725s | it's that three oh sweep against the |
| 26727s | number one team of aipac the ultimate |
| 26730s | upset of the mid-season madness |
| 26733s | hangzhou spark defy every single |
| 26737s | expectation and it's an in-series |
| 26739s | turnaround as well who would have |
| 26741s | thought as he watched prophet dominia on |
| 26744s | well |
| 26745s | be untouched unfazed in his lane arching |
| 26748s | away with the bow and arrow like he's |
| 26749s | competing at the olympics instead and |
| 26751s | getting gold |
| 26753s | that hong joe spark would not only turn |
| 26755s | around ilios but they'd sweep through |
| 26758s | the entire series and make seoul dynasty |
| 26761s | look almost toothless in so many cases |
| 26765s | this was an absolute showcase not for |
| 26768s | alpha yi not for shai but for the |
| 26770s | entirety of hong joe spark because for |
| 26772s | facti's hungzhou sparks support line |
| 26775s | today has been worth its weight in gold |
| 26779s | oh man jesse saw the emotion from hong |
| 26782s | sho spark of how much work they put into |
| 26784s | this moment turning around a 3-0 that |
| 26787s | happened in the regular season seoul |
| 26788s | were beating them down i mean seoul had |
| 26790s | third pick they could have chosen |
| 26792s | shanghai they thought hangzhou spark was |
| 26795s | the easier opponent |
| 26797s | and they got three-owned and they lost |
| 26799s | every single map that they picked i mean |
| 26801s | soul a monumental fumble but you saw it |
| 26805s | on the faces of hangzhou spark just the |
| 26807s | emotion especially from alfie i was |
| 26808s | watching him even yesterday when they |
| 26810s | played i mean fusion's car or sorry uh |
| 26813s | sparks cards were on the table they |
| 26815s | played yesterday so it was up to |
| 26818s | it was up to seoul to study up and know |
| 26821s | where those weaknesses are and they |
| 26822s | still couldn't capitalize but you saw |
| 26824s | the faces of especially alpha yi who i |
| 26826s | even saw him slapping himself at one |
| 26827s | point i'm not sure if he was waking |
| 26828s | himself up or really just feeling |
| 26830s | defeated in those moments but man did he |
| 26833s | rise to the occasion today and you gotta |
| 26836s | say alpha yi really was the alpha this |
| 26839s | match now i think i do think he had a |
| 26842s | great competition against profit and |
| 26844s | that went back and forth but ultimately |
| 26846s | there is only one deserving of player of |
| 26849s | the match and it's alpha he from the |
| 26851s | hangzhou spark |
| 26852s | yeah he may have been slapping himself |
| 26854s | for a while but we're going to slap him |
| 26855s | with a player of the match title what a |
| 26857s | performance from alpha yi and let's just |
| 26859s | put this into context alpha yi |
| 26862s | out echoed |
| 26863s | profit significantly on illios one of |
| 26866s | prophet's favorite heroes and then goes |
| 26869s | over to the tracer prophet's most famous |
| 26871s | hero since his days on gc busan and apex |
| 26874s | season four alongside gesture prophet |
| 26876s | could have been the best tracer in the |
| 26878s | world season one a championship prophet |
| 26881s | was the best tracer in the world and now |
| 26883s | he's a rookie coming into the hangzhou |
| 26886s | spark going toe to toe mano amano with |
| 26890s | profit and winning out as tracer what a |
| 26894s | chat |
| 26896s | the spark after this win they'll go up |
| 26898s | against the gladiators |
| 26900s | so not an opponent they've ever faced |
| 26902s | before and that's one of america well |
| 26905s | i'll say one of america's one of the |
| 26906s | west's representatives |
| 26908s | and now seoul get to drop down to face |
| 26911s | atlanta and that'll be a tough match as |
| 26914s | well and look at the statistics a lot of |
| 26917s | great sticks from alpha yi and just |
| 26919s | overall the consistency and the fact |
| 26922s | that he was getting you know dominated |
| 26923s | by profit on the hanzo at ranges i've |
| 26926s | never seen before just swapping it up |
| 26928s | and never giving up and that's the type |
| 26930s | of pressure like when i said alpha he |
| 26932s | was like slapping himself it's like yeah |
| 26933s | you could feel that he was taking in a |
| 26935s | lot of the pressure to step up and |
| 26937s | perform and then so he did in the match |
| 26939s | that mattered the most so |
| 26942s | that was a series i wasn't expecting |
| 26944s | three o's two three o's today leg day |
| 26947s | but we're usually cursed with game fives |
| 26949s | but i'm really interested to see the |
| 26951s | desks reaction |
| 26953s | uh to this match and how much of an |
| 26955s | upset this really was so we're going to |
| 26957s | throw it to a breath to the desk |
| 26960s | break and we'll see you guys for the |
| 26961s | next matches |

| 27379s | welcome to watchpoint post show |
| 27380s | everybody i'm danny lim i'm here with |
| 27382s | bernard from hanzo spark bernard |
| 27385s | congratulations on the win and yeah what |
| 27388s | a crazy upset i don't think a lot of |
| 27389s | people would have predicted the hangzhou |
| 27391s | spark win over the seoul dynasty but you |
| 27393s | guys made it happen how are you guys |
| 27395s | able to defeat the seoul dynasty today |
| 27401s | [Music] |
| 27423s | foreign |
| 27438s | i mean seoul is a great team and also uh |
| 27440s | you know we were sort of worried that |
| 27441s | because they were such a strong team |
| 27442s | that you know |
| 27444s | we weren't really sure how the matches |
| 27446s | were going to play it out but uh all in |
| 27448s | the end what we thought of was you know |
| 27450s | we just had to focus really hard on what |
| 27452s | we had to do and that was sort of what |
| 27454s | was the key uh to our success and the |
| 27456s | victory against the seoul dynasty today |
| 27459s | and i also want to follow up with |
| 27461s | another question bernard because i think |
| 27463s | i was watching your matches yesterday |
| 27465s | and today and i do want to say that |
| 27467s | hanzo spark you guys are popping off in |
| 27469s | the tournament right now um you guys |
| 27471s | always have been a great team but i |
| 27472s | think especially especially in the |
| 27474s | tournament this tournament cycle i think |
| 27476s | you guys are just going crazy uh |
| 27479s | what sort of did anything change |
| 27481s | internally |
| 27482s | to sort of just help that or was it you |
| 27484s | know just sort of like a tournament buff |
| 27496s | or |
| 27512s | a |
| 27540s | i mean individually i think we did |
| 27542s | definitely putting a lot of work in and |
| 27544s | we did a lot of practices and uh |
| 27545s | compared to the last tournament cycle uh |
| 27547s | we found a lot of the flaws that were |
| 27550s | that we had to fix as a team as well so |
| 27552s | i think working on that sort of really |
| 27554s | helped uh shape up the team for this |
| 27557s | tournament cycle all right uh bernard |
| 27559s | that is it for the question thank you so |
| 27560s | much for your time and again big |
| 27561s | congratulations on your win against old |
| 27563s | dynasty |
| 27579s | thank you so much danny and bernard and |
| 27582s | gentlemen like danny had said uh didn't |
| 27585s | really expect anyone to predict the |
| 27587s | spark to beat the dynasty |
| 27590s | oh wait except i predicted that and both |
| 27594s | of you thought that seoul the team that |
| 27596s | just got you know three owed were the |
| 27598s | ones that were gonna win that's so |
| 27600s | that's so interesting you said 70 to 30 |
| 27603s | odds that they were gonna win |
| 27605s | what happened there scott |
| 27608s | side spock are really good now i i guess |
| 27612s | and the thing is you know we hype up shy |
| 27614s | we've talked about how great he is as a |
| 27615s | hit scan he didn't even have an |
| 27617s | outrageous performance it was honestly |
| 27619s | all the other players on the team really |
| 27622s | stepping up i think alpha yi especially |
| 27624s | on that tracer was just on a completely |
| 27626s | different level he went toe-to-toe with |
| 27628s | profit and just absolutely put in a and |
| 27632s | put in work especially on that again |
| 27634s | motor but here's how it went for me we |
| 27636s | get onto this iliops map and i'm i'm |
| 27638s | watching pro what was this i'm watching |
| 27640s | prophet do this and i'm like huh profits |
| 27642s | in the server this one's over and then |
| 27644s | we went on the lighthouse and i'm like |
| 27645s | wait no not like this they literally get |
| 27648s | absolutely rolled on this lighthouse and |
| 27650s | that set the tone as well for ruins |
| 27652s | where |
| 27652s | all of a sudden honjo sparks seem to be |
| 27654s | in the driving seat and i'm like okay |
| 27656s | well hong joe sparky you know it's just |
| 27658s | one map the soul dynasty can pull |
| 27659s | themselves back from this we go over to |
| 27661s | akamoto and they do dominate in at the |
| 27664s | attack the seoul dynasty are looking |
| 27666s | dominant they have the dive working |
| 27668s | stalker is playing well on that sojourn |
| 27670s | it doesn't feel like this sigma |
| 27671s | composition is going to work for them |
| 27673s | and then all of a sudden |
| 27675s | the the the hong kong spark have their |
| 27677s | attack and they finish with even more |
| 27679s | time the seoul dynasty crumble on their |
| 27681s | attack and all of a sudden it's a 2-0 |
| 27683s | deficit and then dorado the rest is |
| 27685s | history but johnny we were talking about |
| 27688s | it we need to talk about it more the |
| 27689s | back line of the seoul dynasty we've |
| 27691s | hyped them up so far this season but |
| 27693s | creative and midnight |
| 27695s | were just |
| 27696s | everywhere they should not have been in |
| 27697s | this series i mean yeah credit where |
| 27699s | credit is due first of all the dives |
| 27701s | were good right like alpha yonder tries |
| 27703s | the tracer so much impact so many final |
| 27706s | blows um and the dive even from seoul |
| 27708s | dynasty was good like profit as you said |
| 27709s | like racked up the final blows to begin |
| 27711s | with it was pretty even when it came to |
| 27712s | dive |
| 27713s | but like the back line from seoul |
| 27715s | dynasty if we wouldn't get a bit |
| 27717s | analytical but like individual |
| 27718s | performances |
| 27720s | the backline just didn't help each other |
| 27722s | out and fitz on the ash like he was |
| 27725s | nowhere to be found it's such a stark |
| 27727s | difference from when we talked about san |
| 27728s | francisco shock and like playing around |
| 27729s | the batistes playing together as five |
| 27731s | this is uh irony and creative on all |
| 27733s | heroes in today's matchup and you can |
| 27735s | see for yourselves like twice the amount |
| 27737s | of deaths from irony final blows 19 to |
| 27741s | five he got five final blows on all |
| 27744s | heroes over the course of three maps |
| 27746s | playing like zenyatta and anna |
| 27749s | like oh it was a tough matchup the back |
| 27752s | line from seoul dynasty i didn't think |
| 27754s | that they helped each other out that |
| 27755s | good um you know supporting each other |
| 27757s | to keep alive to survive these tracer |
| 27759s | and winston dives and like on the |
| 27761s | opposite side of the spectrum like |
| 27763s | the hangzhou spark pack line they had a |
| 27765s | moment in the little hut you know on |
| 27766s | point a el dorado |
| 27769s | i'm going to none of you brig and |
| 27770s | brick's like i'm going to rally you uh |
| 27772s | seriously and we're going to make this |
| 27774s | work together as a team and like |
| 27775s | meanwhile being creative they were just |
| 27777s | like not playing well together fits on |
| 27780s | the ash i think you should have helped |
| 27781s | them out with the coach gun peel a bit |
| 27783s | more for his team and they just couldn't |
| 27785s | stay alive so seoul dynasty not what we |
| 27787s | expected of all from from them today in |
| 27789s | this match yeah definitely not what we |
| 27791s | expected from them but they still have |
| 27792s | the chance of redemption as they get |
| 27794s | knocked into the losers uh bracket which |
| 27796s | we are going to see in just a bit but |
| 27798s | first we're going to be talking about |
| 27799s | the best of the day because i think we |
| 27802s | had a lot of |
| 27803s | really good moments uh but i'm gonna go |
| 27806s | ahead and i'm gonna start with mine and |
| 27808s | this is actually from the san francisco |
| 27810s | shock game against the london spitfire |
| 27812s | you know me i'm a spitfire fan but i |
| 27814s | thought that this was really an amazing |
| 27815s | play if we could just go ahead and take |
| 27817s | a look at it |
| 27818s | honestly just game changing i think we |
| 27820s | could see it right here so we see i |
| 27822s | think we have like all five up on the |
| 27825s | side of the shock and then |
| 27827s | here we see it's you know being |
| 27828s | contested and then contested again |
| 27832s | until it is tested again what do we call |
| 27834s | this what do we call this overly we call |
| 27836s | it a cena there we go yeah |
| 27841s | good old c9 oh look at the reactions |
| 27844s | oh this batboy's just laughing |
| 27852s | and i think that was the only uh |
| 27855s | map that they had taken yeah well hey we |
| 27857s | don't talk about that we don't we don't |
| 27858s | talk about that we talk about that |
| 27860s | they play |
| 27862s | yeah and you know talking about people |
| 27863s | that uh potentially got over-confident |
| 27866s | in their matches uh we have |
| 27868s | uh a strange play by reiner you know |
| 27870s | we've all we've all talked about the |
| 27872s | tactical crouch we've talked about the |
| 27874s | impacts of is that a toxic thing to do |
| 27876s | is that a negative thing to do i i love |
| 27878s | a good tactical crouch you know a little |
| 27879s | bit of a tea bag onto them but ryan is |
| 27881s | taking it one step forward he's adding a |
| 27883s | dab into into into the mix here we go |
| 27886s | we're gonna see here |
| 27887s | getting on the pelican he gets the |
| 27888s | empowered punch he know he predicts the |
| 27891s | blink gets pelican in |
| 27893s | and gives him a tactical crouch for this |
| 27895s | the cam has to be here you guys ready |
| 27897s | for it wait for it oh |
| 27900s | damn sometimes you just gotta do it to |
| 27903s | him rhino absolutely popping off |
| 27906s | he knows what he just did |
| 27908s | that's how you know what you did inspire |
| 27910s | fear yeah into your the hearts of your |
| 27912s | opponents as well stand up dab on them |
| 27915s | houston did win the map or they drew it |
| 27923s | let that be a lesson to you kids at home |
| 27925s | don't you dare dab no diving |
| 27927s | i'm gonna tell kids to dab at home i |
| 27929s | think it's i think it's safe but johnny |
| 27931s | is dabbing still cool |
| 27933s | no |
| 27934s | it's never you didn't know |
| 27935s | no |
| 27936s | i have no idea yeah i have no idea right |
| 27940s | tick tockers please help me out is this |
| 27941s | a trend or are we back into |
| 27944s | more doja cats |
| 27948s | talking about my worst of the day |
| 27951s | of the day whoa |
| 27953s | actually some gameplay that was pretty |
| 27955s | cool on like you know random gestures |
| 27958s | that are not cool at all sparker on |
| 27961s | spitfire god i am meant to be a host |
| 27963s | with my transition |
| 27966s | i he he fragged out on race to route 66 |
| 27969s | against the shock so even though they |
| 27970s | did lose the map i gotta give it to |
| 27972s | sparker not because he's swedish i'm |
| 27974s | biased but because he generally popped |
| 27976s | off so hard with this here as well got a |
| 27978s | collateral you know through the diva mc |
| 27979s | as well um spectacular performance by |
| 27982s | him on earth he just like didn't care |
