1206s | no |
1207s | or should i say pigsta i'm a little |
1209s | confused as to your attire for today |
1212s | because i don't think we've seen a |
1213s | single road hog in the tournament so far |
1216s | when we pitched this idea i thought we |
1218s | were talking about players not heroes so |
1220s | i feel like i missed the memo on this |
1223s | one but hey it works let's talk about |
1225s | piggy on the houston outlaws he's been |
1227s | absolutely incredible so far in this |
1229s | tournament we saw in the kickoff clash |
1231s | the houston outlaws were kind of one |
1233s | dimensional with that dante doomfist and |
1235s | it didn't feel like piggy was ever |
1237s | getting any legs but oink oink he's here |
1239s | in the mid-season madness tournament he |
1241s | has been playing everything as well he |
1243s | has been playing desire as you can see |
1245s | right here on the screen pretty good |
1246s | against that doomfist we've also seen it |
1249s | move over to the sigma on maps like |
1250s | circa royale he's even picked up the |
1252s | winston here on dorado he has been |
1255s | impressive on them as well like usually |
1257s | when we see some of these other off-tank |
1259s | players move over to the main tank roll |
1261s | it can be pretty hit and miss but piggy |
1264s | has been impressing me so far even on |
1266s | the reinhardt the the |
1267s | the pig heart if you will i don't know i |
1270s | i don't have as good of ones as you |
1271s | johnny but |
1273s | you can't it's the pink queen and you |
1275s | can't be |
1276s | too upset with what piggy has been doing |
1278s | so far in this tournament and you can't |
1280s | not love him either he's so animated in |
1283s | his camps he's such a funny personality |
1285s | to have in the league i'm the piggy fan |
1287s | that's why i got a piggy one john i love |
1289s | it okay well it's great from wrecking |

1489s | [Music] |
1527s | welcome back to watchpoint |
1529s | although we weren't invited to hawaii we |
1531s | made up for it by harvesting a nice |
1532s | coconut harvest for ourselves |
1535s | in sunny irvine california also if you |
1538s | live near the blizzard campus and saw a |
1539s | girl in a monkey costume stealing |
1541s | coconuts from your trees no you didn't |
1545s | there's coconuts here it's california |
1547s | what what |
1549s | i'm pretty sure i've seen coconut trees |
1550s | i don't i don't think that's fruit palm |
1552s | trees don't they have coconuts in them i |
1554s | don't think so maybe are they |
1558s | you're asking a sweden in australia |
1560s | you're the one who's supposed to know |
1561s | this i thought |
1563s | boys regardless these are very special |
1565s | coconuts because inside each and every |
1568s | one of these are the teams which are the |
1570s | lower seeds in today's brackets now |
1572s | you're going to select a coconut without |
1574s | knowing which team is inside and then |
1576s | you're going to explain how that team is |
1578s | going to pull off an upset against the |
1580s | higher seeded team that they are playing |
1581s | against all in a segment that we like to |
1584s | call |
1585s | coconut set |
1587s | we didn't |
1589s | it was late when we had to come up with |
1591s | the name for that one so i feel like |
1592s | that wasn't our best i was not part of |
1594s | that conversation |
1595s | i really like it we were here until like |
1597s | i think one in the morning and i think |
1599s | that was our best |
1601s | i think that was our best idea |
1604s | but rainforest we're going to start with |
1605s | you first so pick your first coconut |
1607s | show us who you have and tell us how |
1609s | that team is going to pull off the upset |
1611s | and you get the that one yeah you start |
1613s | with that one |
1615s | you ready |
1617s | reveal its wonders |
1618s | what do we got |
1620s | it is |
1622s | the florida |
1624s | man |
1628s | do i have to say what lord are going to |
1629s | win now they're going to win |
1632s | but what if they can't |
1634s | no that's not that no |
1635s | you got this come on coconut florida |
1637s | they got upswings |
1639s | uh they're not too many ball players i'm |
1641s | lost uh |
1643s | florida mayhem yes of course the florida |
1645s | mayhem uh they have a chance to beat the |
1647s | philadelphia fusion here today uh i was |
1649s | impressed by the way they reverse sweep |
1651s | their own spitfire big mental big mental |
1654s | strength there being able to overcome |
1655s | the o2 deficit i like their first |
1658s | engagements here checkmate i think that |
1660s | he's a very tactical tracer player the |
1662s | way they took down hardy early on and |
1664s | gained themselves a man advantage big |
1666s | pull sponsor great by the way from |
1667s | checkmate that's a very hard you know |
1669s | looking downwards widowmaker shot if you |
1671s | played overwatch you know how hard it is |
1672s | those shots as well they have the |
1674s | strategical depth here for the florida |
1677s | miami to overcome the philadelphia |
1679s | fusion yeah |
1683s | what's the strategical depth that you |
1685s | like about them um i like their plans |
1687s | their compositions they're well thought |
1688s | out the shot calling the rotations the |
1690s | uh the team planning of course uh for |
1692s | example we could see that at nineveh |
1693s | point b yesterday the way they decided |
1695s | to approach the payload instead to draw |
1697s | the opponents away from the castle the |
1699s | high ground in a way to force player |
1700s | movement so i i like the strategical |
1702s | things from florida they're very smart |
1704s | very smart team so maybe they could |
1706s | outsmart their opponents in the fusion |
1708s | today so if they play smart that's how |
1709s | they could pull off the coconut set |
1712s | i did my best |
1713s | i like i just have to keep finding ways |
1715s | to say coconuts but custa you're up next |
1718s | to go ahead and choose your nut |
1721s | i feel it |
1722s | i think this one |
1724s | you say i have to choose this one's |
1725s | called the blue one i can tell that it's |
1727s | calling to you |
1728s | i got |
1730s | the overwatch league oh no wait a second |
1732s | i got the atlanta right um |
1734s | the atlanta rain this is an easy one |
1736s | actually i got yeah this is you guys you |
1738s | guys listen |
1740s | the atlanta reigns just beat the seoul |
1741s | dynasties this should be if they can |
1744s | beat the seoul dynasty they can beat the |
1746s | houston outlet the sole dancer did go |
1747s | out there yeah but seoul dynasty are the |
1749s | best and you know why because they got |
1751s | kai kai is one of the best hit scans we |
1753s | have in the world we're always like ooh |
1755s | is kai really the best the east have |
1757s | such great hit scans kai |
1759s | dominated fitz on their attack he was |
1762s | all over them we know that he has that |
1764s | prowess to take over games so he can do |
1766s | that then you look at this back line |
1767s | they have ultraviolet and og og is |
1770s | showing the ability to play these double |
1771s | flex support heroes if they need to do |
1774s | it so they're just this talented |
1776s | backline that is just starting to get |
1777s | into their own on the playoff stage and |
1780s | then you know venom on that tracer he |
1782s | went toe-to-toe with profit in map five |
1784s | in the final team fight of all time and |
1786s | won the traits of 1v1 you know how many |
1788s | other people have done that before |
1789s | nobody nobody nobody has ever been able |
1791s | to shut down playoff p in the moment |
1794s | atlanta rain they got this easier over |
1795s | the houston outlaws houston alola's |
1796s | going to choke as they always do that's |
1798s | pretty good oh well ouchy for all the |
1800s | houston fans who are watching us right |
1802s | now but uh johnny for you squeak squeak |
1804s | squeak squeak squeakums yes |
1807s | which means of course select your next |
1809s | coconut that one's just too far away no |
1811s | you don't get the pink one i you you get |
1813s | that one it's closer to you |
1816s | wow real real mom vibes today my guys |
1821s | you took |
1825s | [Laughter] |
1826s | for our next team is going to be |
1830s | the shanghai dragon |
1834s | you get an easy one the shanghai dragons |
1837s | i mean i don't even know who put this |
1838s | thing here number five against the |
1840s | number one san francisco shock but look |
1841s | okay the shanghai dragons they're going |
1843s | to win this one easy okay they are the |
1846s | 2021 champs they found their group they |
1849s | figured out the five versus five issues |
1851s | lip he is the best hitscan player in the |
1853s | world that's right he's better than shy |
1854s | lip is just a phenomenal player and he's |
1856s | going to dominate in today's game as |
1858s | well they have the experience they |
1860s | played so many playoff games together |
1862s | whereas san francisco shocked they're |
1863s | coming in with rookies san francisco |
1864s | shock of course they underperformed in |
1866s | the kickoff clash tournament this is |
1867s | just prime time for the dragons to come |
1870s | out on top and really show us that |
1872s | veteran experience being able to live up |
1874s | to the moment i think the shanghai |
1876s | dragons are looking so good right now |
1877s | whether it's void here playing sigma |
1879s | circuit real life on the widowmaker |
1881s | faith and his shot calling the way i |
1882s | approached the wrecking ball i think |
1884s | it's phenomenal yes the back line been a |
1886s | bit of a question mark but i'll be there |
1888s | question mark for the shanghai dragons |
1889s | it hasn't really been you know summer |
1890s | showdown 2021 levels but it's going to |
1892s | be completely fine the dragons they're |
1896s | going to come out on top on the san |
1897s | francisco show it's just way too much |
1898s | confidence going up against the number |
1900s | one seed i did it bad mouth you're |
1902s | atlanta rain pick but it's because i had |
1905s | i had they're playing against the |
1906s | houston outlaws |
1907s | but the san francisco shock are a |
1910s | phenomenal team and they look to be |
1911s | coming into their own i just i guess i |
1913s | feel like you're being |
1915s | too unfair to the shock but he's right |
1916s | shanghai dragons are the fact that |
1918s | they're even number five save this stuff |
1920s | yeah i mean didn't the san francisco |
1921s | shock have that one uh c9 moment so they |
1924s | aren't flawless everyone's having they |
1927s | can bleed oh no |
1929s | everyone's had a bad day |
1931s | all right well there's only one coconut |
1934s | left so scott i believe that is yours to |
1936s | select power of deduction my last one is |
1939s | going to be |
1941s | quicha |
1943s | i'm i've even i've even dressed up for |
1945s | the occasion oh you match the hongzhou |
1947s | spark are looking dominant this is a |
1950s | team that has always struggled to show |
1951s | up in the playoffs but they had a great |
1953s | first match knocking down the seoul |
1955s | dynasty into the low brackets so they've |
1957s | been incredible the los angeles |
1959s | gladiators i needed to be more |
1960s | convincing well okay just i'm ramping up |
1963s | johnny okay the los angeles gladiators |
1965s | we always talk about how great this team |

1975s | guantanamo challenge yeah those great |
1978s | great teams that exist in the east |
1980s | the cheyenne after you though have been |
1982s | on a different level we always talk |
1983s | about shai but alpha yi on that tracer |
1985s | in that match against seoul was |
1987s | absolutely ridiculous he went toe-to-toe |
1990s | with the goat and came out on top but |
1992s | now has shown his flexibility so far and |
1995s | even gucci has come in to play that week |
1997s | and i i've been harsh on the goose way i |

2346s | one fans that's explained so much where |

2353s | get him back in all right guys well it |
2356s | may be the last match of the day but we |
2358s | couldn't wait to talk about the san |
2359s | francisco shock versus the shanghai |
2361s | dragons both of these teams have been |
2363s | dominant in the last few years of the |
2365s | league so this is the battle of the |
2367s | giants for the uninitiated let's take a |
2370s | look at what these teams have |
2371s | accomplished scott san francisco shock |
2373s | one of the best franchises that we've |
2375s | ever had in the league we don't talk |
2376s | about 2018 but uh they've been dominant |
2379s | since then the 2019 grand finals 2020 |
2381s | grand finals winners they were |
2383s | incredible they were just above everyone |
2385s | else by such a large margin they have |
2387s | had a bit of a stumble in the 2021 |
2390s | season they just didn't live up to the |
2392s | expectations with a couple of those |
2393s | newer players but they're back 2022 |
2396s | they've added a lot of new rookies they |
2399s | look to be a dominant franchise and |
2400s | they're currently undefeated in the |
2401s | regular season so |
2403s | shock you know poised to take a |
2405s | championship that's a pretty nice |
2406s | looking resume but johnny how are the |
2408s | dragons looking they're looking pretty |
2409s | good all things considered recently |
2412s | shanghai dragons have been on top so |
2413s | yeah san francisco shock might have two |
2415s | championships shanghai dragons have the |
2417s | most recent championship and they've |
2418s | been so dominant since the 2020 season |
2421s | of course dominating in the apac region |
2423s | separate from the shock winning all |
2424s | those stage titles there and then also |
2427s | winning the grand finals last year you |
2429s | know that'll fuel they started out a bit |
2430s | ahead i would argue last season of |
2432s | course winnie the main melee etc but the |
2434s | latter half of the season it was all |
2436s | shanghai dragons so this is really the |
2439s | battle of like the two most successful |
2440s | franchises in overwatch league history |
2443s | so uh we're in for a treat yeah now |
2445s | custom while the dragons have been |
2446s | winning and have looked good so far |
2448s | throughout the tournament you have some |
2449s | concerns about the backline yeah the |
2451s | back line has been a little iffy so far |
2454s | for me you know li jig on an iziyaki you |
2456s | know you just talking about the |
2457s | dominance of them recently they were |
2459s | really the pioneers of like the backline |
2461s | especially with izyaki on that zenyatta |
2463s | he is just an aggressive player likes to |
2466s | use that transcendence as a personal |
2467s | healing tool and a get out of jail free |
2469s | card but the rookie finn has been |
2472s | stepping up this season and in the |
2473s | mid-season madness qualifiers so far |
2476s | he has just been incredible look at him |
2478s | beating him in damage healing final |
2480s | blows def sorry offensive assists and |
2482s | has less deaths and i want to give |
2484s | credit to finn because he is a rookie |
2486s | the rookie is becoming the master but |
2488s | for me if the shanghai dragons are going |
2490s | to make this big comeback it needs to be |
2492s | back on the back of izayaki i think he |
2494s | has not been having those same level of |
2496s | performances on that zenyatta as he has |
2498s | in the past so |
2500s | you know come on izzy i believe in you |
2502s | now johnny throughout their history the |
2504s | shock have been dominant and a lot of |
2506s | that comes off the back of innovation |
2508s | and strategies that other teams just |
2510s | quite frankly don't run and they're |
2512s | doing it once again |
2514s | yeah uh the san francisco shock i mean |
2516s | we're about to show a staff card that is |
2518s | just like so crazy when you actually |
2520s | take a look at it they have been playing |
2522s | more diva than anyone else and i just |
2525s | don't mean like more diva like they've |
2526s | been playing all the diva |
2528s | what is this collusion with almost 30 |
2531s | minutes of play time on the diva so far |
2533s | in the mid-season madness tournament and |
2534s | meanwhile hanbin is second with one |
2536s | minute 15 seconds on route yesterday |
2539s | sorry what so of course a bit of an old |
2541s | pick here bringing out the diva in the |
2543s | mid-season madness tournament but i like |
2544s | it for the san francisco show the added |
2547s | defensive capabilities with the defense |
2548s | matrix it ensures that you can protect |
2550s | sam you can protect um kilo as well on |
2553s | those long range hitscan picks and it |
2555s | makes it difficult for the opponent to |
2556s | come in and get value you have the |
2558s | defense matrix you have an immortality |
2560s | field it gets hard to wrap up those |
2562s | final blows for the opponents and so i |
2563s | like this added defensibility for the |
2566s | core of their team which is the backline |
2567s | and their long-range hit scan and proper |
2569s | he can just you know blink around do |
2571s | proper things get a couple of picks and |
2573s | well there you have it you survived long |
2575s | enough to find yourself in a mad |
2576s | advantage so i like the diva pick coming |
2578s | out from the shop and it's an added |
2580s | extra a little bit of a quirk for the |
2581s | shanghai dragons to deal with |
2584s | unfortunately we didn't really have a |
2585s | diva onesie for one of us to wear as |
2588s | we're talking about you know the tank |
2589s | match-ups but i don't think i would do |
2591s | well in the diva onesie you know it's |
2593s | it's very tight i feel like i like the |
2595s | baggy piggy outfit a little bit yeah i |
2597s | heard that you pulled off a good mercy |
2598s | though my mercy cosplay was good yeah i |
2600s | committed i shaved the legs yeah no all |
2602s | don't google it content warning uh but |
2605s | yeah no no i mean again as we're talking |
2607s | about tanks we don't have the diva we |
2608s | also don't have uh |
2610s | i guess a tank onesie for the next |
2611s | player that i'd like to talk about |
2612s | because the tank matchup is getting very |
2614s | interesting because the dragons are |
2616s | throwing in some wrinkles as well yeah |
2617s | the shanghai dragons and fate most |
2619s | recently said in an interview yeah we |
2621s | have played a lot of wrecking ball but |
2623s | that's just been because that's what |
2624s | we've needed to do no one has really |
2626s | pushed us into our other strategies that |
2628s | we have in our back pocket and we most |
2630s | recently saw one of those strategies |
2632s | with that doomfist fate picking it up he |
2634s | hadn't played it at all so far this |
2636s | season but in the playoffs he picked it |
2637s | up and was very good at it and we know |
2639s | how great of a player fate is on this |
2642s | tank roll and he was able to step up so |
2645s | i think that might be an important thing |
2646s | you know you just talked about johnny |
2648s | the diva a different look coming from |
2650s | the team i was a little worried about |
2652s | the flexibility of the shanghai dragons |
2654s | coming into this you know playoff |
2655s | situation are they only going to be able |
2657s | to die on that wrecking ball hill but i |
2659s | actually think there's a lot more there |
2660s | than we give them credit for so i'm |
2662s | excited to see more from fate and the |
2664s | shanghai dragons and what they can show |
2666s | definitely excited again this is the |
2668s | final match of the day so we do have |
2670s | quite a few other games to get through |
2672s | before we get to see these two face off |
2674s | but gentlemen |
2675s | it's that time once again it's time to |
2678s | see predictions |
2680s | i'm leading i'm leading a prediction |
2682s | that's not true only me i think it is |
2683s | just me no ties just me don't fact-check |
2686s | that but let's go ahead and take a look |
2687s | at our predictions for today |
2692s | oh |
2693s | yes scott |
2696s | okay i want to defend oh wow that's |
2698s | that's a back and forth |
2700s | let me defend my juice and pick as well |
2701s | because it's completely something out of |
2703s | the server atlanta rain i know how short |
2706s | this turnaround is for them to play |
2707s | another match because we were also here |
2709s | late last night they only have like a 12 |
2711s | hour turnaround to recover get ready for |
2713s | the next match while houston should be |
2715s | rested i think that might weigh on them |
2717s | and i think that might be difficult for |
2718s | them to get back into the server but |
2720s | it's going to be a close match okay but |
2721s | kai tweeted that lebron gift i would be |
2723s | scared |
2724s | he did he's hecks i need a change |
2728s | before my handshake spark pick over the |
2731s | l.a gladiators |
2733s | i don't have anything to say |
2735s | oh oh what did they do that's cuz what |
2738s | are you doing is this how hamsters eat |
2740s | fruit no one wants to watch this anymore |
2742s | no one wants to watch this anymore we're |
2743s | going to go to a quick break because |
2745s | that's it for watch point day four of |
2746s | the mid-season madness tournament starts |
2748s | right now oh and stop it |
2752s | but i'll beat you to the finish line |
2754s | cause we ought to get it feeling fine |
2755s | keep it up and we'll be creeping up one |
2757s | another |
2759s | the team hits a shadow of his own and |
2760s | pins charon to the wall as long as he |
2762s | can the point is allowed to flip down |
2764s | the mayhem sweep them away unbelievable |
2768s | are you ready |
2778s | [Music] |
2782s | what the hell did i just win this uh |
2784s | pardon all right looks like pork's back |
2786s | on the menu boys leopard killed two |
2789s | and he jumps at sides three |
2794s | it's a double pulse and double pulse in |
2797s | overtime maximum opening is shy looks |
2800s | incredible mirror what |
2804s | where did that come from |
2807s | [Music] |
2816s | well i think we can all agree matthew |
2818s | that the mid-season madness so far has |
2821s | delivered and here in the lower bracket |
2823s | the stakes are continuing to get higher |
2825s | and higher it's elimination time for |
2826s | both these teams and hopefully somebody |
2828s | there is helping johnny out maybe giving |
2830s | him some counselling because what he |
2831s | just did to that banana that should not |
2832s | be allowed |
2834s | yeah i think i saw a soda pop and eat a |
2836s | banana once uh |
2838s | yeah i say no more man that doesn't |
2840s | really help johnny's case as far as i'm |
2842s | concerned yeah the desk is you know look |
2844s | it was a late night last night crazy |
2846s | games like we were just talking about |
2847s | okay like the games have been incredible |
2849s | this week uh for the most part like |
2851s | every game has been like relatively like |
2853s | even if it was like a 3-1-3-0 it's like |
2855s | been close like back and forth uh i |
2858s | think this first game is kind of set up |
2859s | to be something like that as well they |
2860s | talked about atlanta with like a quick |
2862s | turnaround uh from last night to today |
2865s | uh but it atlanta is a team that rise to |
2868s | the occasion i would not be |
2870s | shocked if they come in and you know |
2871s | look pretty fresh oh i love that you |
2872s | point that out because obviously the |
2874s | atlanta reign are coming off an |
2875s | incredible match against the seoul |
2877s | dynasty a team packed by so many to be |
2880s | the best or at least one of the best |
2882s | over in the eastern region they overcome |
2884s | that ridiculous challenge but their next |
2886s | match up it's super charged with emotion |
2889s | all right houston versus atlanta it's a |
2892s | classic matchup with the last time these |
2894s | two teams met it was an unreal c9 |
2897s | situation in map five uh an expression |
2900s | on hawke's face that will be |
2902s | immortalized the shock of what had |
2904s | happened to the atlanta reign they're |
2906s | here to run it back now not only for |
2908s | their survival here in the mid-season |
2909s | madness but also to settle an old score |
2912s | i think uh a lot of c9s this season is |
2915s | players just trying to figure out uh |
2917s | that's one lesson right diva diva or |
2920s | lucio right uh those would be the |
2921s | players that would get on and touch um |
2925s | you know this is kind of like where you |
2927s | would uh |
2928s | stay like they're |
2930s | they're definitely going to be up for it |
2931s | today like there's not going to be a |
2933s | uh situation where they forget to get |
2935s | onto the payload i also thought one of |
2937s | the the more interesting interesting |
2939s | things is like you know how they've |
2940s | committed to this setup with hawk is the |
2942s | tank now he's able to |
2944s | play against seoul dynasty last night |
2946s | against smurf like in winston and stuff |
2947s | like that which is like right up smurf's |
2949s | wheelhouse one of the best in the world |
2950s | and uh yeah it looked fine and took the |
2953s | win smoke is so similar in that regard |
2955s | he was hailed as the really flexible |
2957s | tank that you know was rotated he was |
2959s | super back in the heyday of that san |
2961s | francisco shock but he's the man on your |
2963s | screen a lot of investment into this guy |
2966s | to make the tank roll on this team |
2968s | indomitable let's throw have a look at |
2970s | the other side of the aisle here is |
2971s | again these two teams are in the same |
2974s | room now an inauspicious loss to the los |
2977s | angeles gladiators for the outlaws with |
2979s | some extra spice at the end on social |
2981s | media you'd better believe a fire in the |
2983s | belly for this team then they've had a |
2984s | day off to prepare themselves now |
2986s | fighting for their survival the winner |
2988s | of this game goes on and takes the win |
2990s | takes on the winner of what shock and |
2992s | the dragons the loser they're headed |
2994s | home |
2995s | yeah i mean that is uh |
2998s | this tour whoever wins this tournament |
2999s | like this is the uh hardest road right |
3002s | like they're you know turn them into the |
3004s | past you have like four teams even like |
3006s | you know eight but not international |
3007s | like |
3008s | just think about like oh well after you |
3009s | get past this round and losers you'd |
3011s | have to play the loser of shock dragons |
3013s | like it's not really a a great prize uh |
3017s | you know you could kind of go home with |
3018s | dante's starting here uh for the elbow |
3021s | so that tells you uh some doom fist here |
3023s | in map number one uh and it is the |
3025s | outlaws map pick |
3027s | yeah absolutely they'll be selecting uh |
3029s | oasis first up in this series spoilers |
3031s | uh as they come in as uh the higher seed |
3034s | not by much but again being able to |
3036s | select that control map makes a big |
3038s | difference especially when you're you're |
3040s | playing with a tank that we know dante |
3042s | doesn't play a ton of stuff outside the |
3043s | doomfist right this team this outlaws |
3046s | team they are opposite to the reign in |
3048s | that they're pretty telegraphed in what |
3051s | their composition choice is going to be |
3052s | based on what tank they've got in up |
3054s | until now oh we just got a smile out of |
3056s | kai hello you know uh one of the the |
3059s | first times ever i think got a little |
3062s | glimpse of why i |
3063s | think it was something uh funny one of |
3065s | the outlaws players did on their side of |
3068s | uh |
3069s | of the uh set up but |
3072s | i i think kai versus merits like a crazy |
3074s | matchup right when they uh when they |
3075s | were ranking the sojourns like a few |
3076s | weeks ago they were up there uh |
3079s | like really like near one and two uh |
3082s | both of them like a really strong |
3083s | argument for either of them being |
3086s | one of the best in the region uh in the |
3088s | west so excited to see that match up |
3091s | yeah i think that merit flew under the |
3093s | radar for for much of this season |
3095s | honestly until surgeon was playable and |
3097s | then we started to see him alongside a |
3099s | lot of other hitscans really make their |
3101s | mark something to look out for no one |
3103s | can take away uh that triple clap the |
3105s | triple kill with the one rail that we |
3106s | saw from maradona coliseum that was |
3108s | obviously an incredible moment but he's |
3110s | looking to add to that cache of memories |
3112s | here |
3113s | with some dominant play on oasis gonna |
3116s | be our first map in this series and |
3117s | again it's gonna be loser pick here in |
3118s | this first to three series and to |
3121s | reiterate ladies germs |
3123s | winner takes on the shock uh the sorry |
3126s | the loser of the shock and dragons and |
3127s | the losers goes home and what i'm what a |
3130s | match to have for an elimination match |
3132s | already trash talking the lobby there's |
3134s | trash talking in the room there's gonna |
3135s | be plenty of that from start to finish |
3138s | that's what i love about atlanta i know |
3141s | some people are like i don't really love |
3142s | the the trash talk right but i |
3144s | i mean i love it uh no |
3147s | coming from call of duty uh no it's kind |
3149s | of |
3150s | kind of just ingrained in you we all |
3152s | want something different out of this |
3153s | whole experience right but uh even even |
3156s | people that sort of don't like |
3158s | the vibes of the atlanta reign have to |
3160s | admit that this team has been impressive |
3162s | for quite some time |
3163s | i like trash talk i know you've been |
3165s | asking for years that they just had like |
3167s | a little pip in the bottom of the |
3168s | gameplay that's just you standing there |
3170s | casting do you remember what trump was |
3172s | at 20 dollars to make your dreams happen |
3174s | was that 2020 world cup where like they |
3176s | were able to pip ourselves |
3178s | because we were like |
3184s | they go back and watch those games that |
3185s | was uh it was a hell of a time uh that |
3187s | was acid with uh josh because he started |
3190s | a match and brent was in the bathroom |
3192s | yeah we just like picked a headset up |
3194s | and someone heard me getting angry |
3195s | because there's no watercolor branded as |
3197s | a diva forever uh |
3198s | damn tracer versus genji here uh that's |
3201s | really kind of the thing you look at |
3202s | from both of these teams that's the the |
3204s | difference where pelican he's had like |
3207s | you know some big moments with like |
3208s | blades i feel like but just uh kind of |
3210s | without that ultimate a little bit up |
3212s | and down performances on the genji so |
3213s | see how it works out his echo has been |
3215s | great especially against like the |
3216s | anti-winston or on the anti-winston plan |
3219s | it's a good start here though hawk |
3220s | eventually just kind of loses out in the |
3221s | neutral there if you could even say |
3223s | there's one with these compositions iris |
3225s | and merritt though merida is doing a lot |
3226s | of work here from the sidelines it's |
3228s | definitely an outlaws fight win to kick |
3230s | us off started off by pelican |
3232s | yeah he got in there there was a discord |
3234s | on to hawk and then they were able to |
3236s | put down some damage and i think that's |
3238s | a little bit more of the advantage of |
3239s | the genji versus tracer like i think the |
3241s | tracer can get in and finish those kills |
3243s | off but obviously takes a little bit |
3245s | with the blinks depending on how many of |
3246s | them you still have available right uh |
3248s | you have to get in there finish it off |
3250s | pelican just dashes on in just able to |
3252s | cut right through hawk and take him out |
3254s | pretty easy i'd suggest that this is the |
3256s | kind of game the venom really has to go |
3258s | above and beyond here it's a tough |
3260s | matchup at all times matching pelicans |
3262s | impact is going to be crucial and that's |
3264s | a great start take that caster curse |
3266s | down as venom finding an opening here in |
3268s | this fight by removing dante but again |
3270s | point could be hard to flip here you |
3271s | better believe the outlaws are gonna try |
3273s | and make this a little difficult but |
3274s | with errors going down they lack the |
3276s | infrastructure to mount a response |
3279s | yeah that's a nice long range sleep |
3280s | there from ultraviolet uh onto last year |
3283s | at long range and |
3285s | it's one that usually it will stall out |
3286s | for a little bit but like you mentioned |
3288s | the outlaws not able to hold on really |
3290s | there at all and you keep that one going |
3292s | uh you know they do come back though |
3294s | here with a nano blade available i know |
3297s | potentially all five ultimates available |
3299s | uh coming into this next fight so |
3301s | if they they're able to get a good blade |
3303s | here out of pelican they can flip this |
3304s | rather quick og drops off the high |
3306s | ground they're just concerned about |
3308s | we're getting picked off as he would |
3309s | have to wait for a bit for that passing |
3311s | to kick in yeah this is nano do for sure |
3313s | and it's in response to dante jump in |
3315s | hawk trying to deal with the enemy |
3316s | doomfist here as dante goes low but he |
3318s | gets a nano himself and he's gonna |
3319s | meteor strike on out of there oh my |
3321s | there is he's not ready for this medial |
3324s | strike and that is a flat armor |
3326s | unfortunately for the rain dante's be |
3328s | going to work on the back line himself |
3329s | it seems neither team's been able to |
3331s | stop the doomfist from getting in there |
3332s | but dante has a bigger impact |
3335s | yes |
3336s | we don't see a little bear because |
3338s | ultraviolet is in like a really nice |
3339s | spot he's trying to sit in the corner |
3341s | get a biotic grenade from behind but i |
3343s | think dante just kind of like shoots out |
3345s | of a cannon there on the doom face so |
3347s | the nano and he's able to just roll |
3349s | through |
3350s | players on the atlanta reign so just |
3352s | like that atlanta they do get up to 45 |
3354s | they make it close but houston able to |
3356s | flip it and with only using the meteor |
3358s | strike and the nano boost |
3360s | merit once again |
3362s | into the middle of the map and that's a |
3363s | big hit that venom just took discord or |
3365s | bottom there so he has to recall |
3367s | annoying for him to waste that so early |
3368s | on he'll have to hope it comes back |
3370s | online quickly but kai's found dante |
3372s | headshot with the rail and now he's |
3373s | looking for the backline doesn't respect |
3375s | the transcendence but doesn't see mirror |
3377s | coming with an overclock of his own |
3378s | that's two for merit now |
3380s | clearing the way for the rest of the |
3382s | outlaws here to continue to mount |
3384s | he's pretty nasty looking score 84 and |
3386s | counting matthew atlanta are struggling |
3388s | to keep in step yeah and that is one |
3391s | where it looked like atlanta potentially |
3393s | was going to be able to come in make a |
3395s | play for the point but mero with the |
3396s | overclock was just too strong there and |
3398s | now last year able to keep a teammate up |
3400s | using the transcendence hunting gets |
3402s | right on top of kai forces him out it's |
3404s | gonna be venom getting on the touch |
3406s | then i'm looking for last row oh the |
3408s | hulk goes down what a huge pick off |
3410s | lassro has time to flip the bird to his |
3412s | opponents and get a huge kill like that |
3414s | on a hawk that's ridiculous houston in a |
3417s | great spot now and pelicans really just |
3418s | trying to do this for insurance's sake |
3420s | who chase ochi down the kick is oh it's |
3423s | so frustrating as genji's he struggles |
3425s | to get to grips but pelicans done more |
3427s | than enough this round as the outlaws |
3428s | secure it |
3432s | i think just really first kills there |
3433s | you know marriott was able to pick up a |
3435s | few on the sojourn they did a nice job |
3437s | of discording hawk and making his life |
3439s | pretty difficult on the doomfist we'll |
3441s | see if they're able to |
3443s | replicate it yet again |
3444s | i'd also say for delano |
3447s | if you don't win this map uh it doesn't |
3449s | go your way |
3450s | you could really kind of force the |
3452s | outlaws into what composition they play |
3453s | moving forward right with your map |
3455s | selections as we know they kind of uh |
3457s | rotate those tanks around and have |
3459s | specific looks for each one yeah take a |
3461s | look from merits pov so got a kill |
3464s | earlier yeah and then one with a |
3465s | disrupter shot and then finishes off |
3468s | then a |
3468s | biotic grenade that's nice |
3472s | very tidy little finish there for |
3474s | houston but that really was about the |
3476s | first pick i think oj just ripped uh |
3479s | excuse me last row rip talk a new one at |
3480s | the start of that fight having no |
3482s | doomfist means you have |
3484s | minimal pressure on the enemy back line |
3486s | makes it even easier |
3488s | and we're going to see kylie come out on |
3490s | ash and something interesting is like we |
3492s | haven't seen a ton of ash |
3494s | uh |
3496s | in the world really for the western |
3498s | teams yeah we've seen it in the east but |
3500s | not exactly in the west as uh venom gets |
3502s | left there |
3504s | someone tried to surgically extract |
3506s | lastro's foot from venom's behind before |
3508s | they can respawn |
3510s | um yeah look and you can see how like |
3512s | the disadvantage at range that merits |
3513s | suffers against ash can be circumvented |
3516s | by uh power sliding forward |
3519s | and uh just trying to to belt uh that |
3521s | enemy ash before they have a chance to |
3522s | respond so that's a question from |
3524s | houston taking the space away from kyle |
3529s | maybe houston knows how important this |
3531s | match is for last row |
3536s | there's a lot on the line there's two |
3537s | friends that extra prize money |
3539s | he's gonna start uh |
3542s | at least |
3543s | we'll have a tally for you |
3545s | yeah maybe that's what he was trying to |
3547s | give his teammates more motivation like |
3549s | hey |
3550s | if only the outlaws have more scrim |
3551s | bucks to pay that off with |
3553s | unfortunate |
3556s | i mean he's uh he's earning his keep you |
3558s | know i mean i don't know if last year |
3561s | he had not been able to get anything |
3562s | going man |
3563s | like |
3565s | the outlaws just upping the pace like |
3568s | pushing atlanta back where |
3570s | like there's not even a lot to talk |
3571s | about from the planet's pov like let's |
3573s | see how they come in here like a nano |
3574s | maybe on a hawk but and look at houston |
3577s | you got the overclock you got a nano of |
3578s | your own you got a blade like now you |
3581s | win these fights in such dominant |
3583s | succession like you're going to end up |
3584s | like 70 on the point all the ultimates |
3586s | that you can |
3587s | dream of here i want to reiterate venom |
3590s | has to have a big impact here last time |
3591s | we did like he's stuck on really nice |
3592s | pulse for dante that's how you should |
3594s | start these fights hawk is getting shut |
3596s | down consistently oh then i don't know |
3598s | you know you're walking into that dji |
3600s | mate oh my pelican |
3602s | absolutely ripped limb from limb by og |
3604s | there who then has himself a quiet sit |
3606s | down with iris another atlanta reign |
3609s | back in control a little bit spay in |
3610s | that fight to be fair |
3612s | but again nice job there really setting |
3614s | og up to bring the paint |
3617s | yeah now you have a transcendence so uh |
3620s | no blade on the other side you use it |
3622s | pretty freely what they have to worry |
3623s | about though is like uh the last time |
3625s | they used it trying to keep ultraviolet |
3626s | alive it was uh here's a nice biotic |
3628s | grenade then you still have merit able |
3630s | to take him out through that is right |
3631s | now you have to be so careful going up |
3633s | against america he's able to like just |
3635s | build up this charge on the switch just |
3637s | make these railgun shots connect feels |
3639s | like almost every time |
3641s | here's under pressure transcendence |
3642s | aggressively from emoji goes forward but |
3644s | it's a bit of a non-boy because hawk |
3646s | actually got out of the fight as og was |
3648s | trying to go aggressive and there's |
3649s | ultraviolet failed by a rail gun kai at |
3651s | least is able to fire one back but it's |
3653s | just not enough and again it's dante |
3656s | having a way bigger impact than hawk has |
3658s | been able to so far there are a lot of |
3660s | things going right for the outlaws here |
3661s | in the atlanta right need to sort |
3663s | themselves out quick |
3665s | i also feel like uh you know they |
3667s | they've really made hawks life pretty |
3669s | difficult uh you know atlanta trying to |
3671s | play around him maybe not the best setup |
3673s | at the current moment because he went in |
3675s | and made an impact there and i know him |
3677s | i'm gonna chase down pelican here uh but |
3680s | they tried to follow it up with the |
3681s | meteor strike and the transcendence and |
3682s | it just wasn't enough the the atlanta |
3685s | rain may flip this year but everybody's |
3686s | alive for houston coming back no i don't |
3688s | know if they're flipping this at all |
3690s | they're down to two players before this |
3691s | fight really starts kyopp had to go and |
3694s | touch he had no choice but man the rain |
3696s | could have benefited from his firepower |
3698s | in a moment like that surely the houston |
3700s | outlaws a strong start here |
3703s | and looking pretty pleased to themselves |
3705s | well i mean the faces actually they |
3707s | normally pull so it's really up to your |
3708s | interpretation but i'm going to say for |
3709s | the sake of a good story that they're |
3711s | looking pleased smile on the face of |
3714s | last row there and a great start for |
3716s | houston matthew gotta be feeling pretty |
3717s | good about that first round |
3720s | yeah i do do think though atlanta rain |
3722s | with their map selection can really |
3723s | force what they want out of the outlaws |
3725s | that's what i'm interested to see moving |
3726s | forward yeah keep your eyes on that |
3728s | let's see what atlanta end up choosing |
3729s | and how the outlaws respond can we |
3731s | exploit the telegraph nature of |
3733s | houston's tanks we'll find out |
3741s | um |
3754s | [Music] |
3792s | [Applause] |
3794s | [Music] |
3835s | [Music] |
3847s | [Music] |
3857s | [Music] |
3888s | [Music] |
3927s | [Music] |
3935s | cool |
3940s | [Music] |
3948s | so |
3975s | [Music] |
3983s | is |
3985s | [Music] |
4008s | [Applause] |
4013s | having the highest seed in this match |
4015s | the houston outlaws make their selection |
4017s | of control map |
4018s | up first enough to take oasis away |
4020s | pretty comfortably |
4022s | now that the atlanta ranger to make a |
4024s | selection mat they're definitely looking |
4025s | to play to their strengths so what do |
4027s | houston have in response |
4030s | yeah so atlanta ends up picking king's |
4032s | row here for map number two uh i believe |
4035s | we saw them played this against the |
4036s | seoul dynasty the other night they ran |
4038s | hawk on the winston uh and dante will |
4041s | stay in for the houston outlaw so tells |
4044s | you you're gonna be dealing with the |
4045s | doomfist cops and i think if you're |
4047s | atlanta rain you kind of know like hey |
4048s | where can we take advantage of some of |
4050s | this uh stuff maybe you feel like it's |
4052s | getting through |
4054s | all right let's go a little deeper then |
4055s | how do the atlanta rain take advantage |
4057s | of presumably going up against the |
4059s | doomfist set up here for the outlaws |
4062s | and so oh what on kings road defense |
4064s | like you have like multiple options |
4066s | right like could they play a winston bay |
4067s | set up uh you know that's possibility |
4070s | for the atlanta reign here uh now that |
4072s | we've seen hawk play that sigma is |
4074s | available right where the houston |
4076s | outlaws don't really and we haven't seen |
4078s | dante play sigma i'm sure you know he |
4080s | can play it but just have what level |
4083s | uh a lot of different options here |
4086s | uh |
4087s | for the atlanta reign to play where |
4089s | houston is kind of just full committing |
4091s | here |
4092s | to the doomfist where yeah so on defense |
4094s | like i mentioned you can play the sigma |
4095s | winston |
4096s | uh they're gonna play sigma here to try |
4098s | and control some of the high ground now |
4099s | we've seen this matchup happen on a |
4101s | couple of different maps actually where |
4103s | a midtown is one i think of right where |
4105s | we see doomfist going up against the |
4107s | sigma often tries to unseat the sigma |
4109s | force them away from his back line or |
4111s | just deny him that like that handy off |
4113s | angle setup that those signals often go |
4115s | for |
4116s | again to what degree is hawk gonna be |
4117s | able to respond to you know dante's |
4119s | dives here |
4120s | that's probably a question for the |
4121s | atlanta reign to answer |
4123s | i do feel like there's better |
4125s | options for high ground control here |
4126s | than like midtown on the defensive side |
4128s | of things right when you're looking at |
4129s | midtown like you're just kind of set up |
4131s | by that subway and that choke they can |
4133s | just kind of run through like here |
4134s | you're just gonna allow them to move |
4136s | through the choke but once you're |
4137s | through right you have complete control |
4138s | of this high ground still |
4140s | so you can see how the rain has spread |
4142s | here along that top |
4145s | causeway |
4146s | and again the outlaws have a lot of |
4148s | checkpoints that need to pass if they |
4150s | want to get to the back line at all our |
4152s | first pick here would be huge obviously |
4153s | usually like a sojourn manufacturing a |
4155s | pick across the map can't count on those |
4156s | but they've been crucial in the past |
4158s | they pap on the kind of player that's |
4159s | been able to manufacture those |
4161s | but merit closes the gap already through |
4163s | the hotel wants to pressure venom down |
4165s | the orbs are coming in thick and fast |
4167s | and og claims what |
4169s | i was gonna say the supports for the |
4170s | atlanta reign up on the high ground uh |
4172s | no ultraviolet was able to hit a big |
4174s | biotic runny that hits dante and pelican |
4177s | the first go-around and you can see it |
4179s | at the top of the screen there's kind of |
4180s | like paying attention to you know |
4182s | dante's box in particular now he jumps |
4184s | to the high ground he got hit with an |
4185s | accretion discord orb on him constantly |
4188s | uh makes it very difficult to stand up |
4190s | there and kind of try and trade as a |
4192s | doomfist |
4193s | against the sigma based compositions and |
4195s | i think the supports especially though g |
4197s | getting to pick there on the zen even |
4199s | just kind of dealing with the players to |
4200s | his left dealing of players on the point |
4202s | doing a nice job |
4204s | knows he can barely interact with people |
4206s | in og's position unless he closes the |
4208s | gap somehow his primary fire is not |
4209s | built for that kind of range so the |
4211s | outlaws give it a tickle drop onto the |
4213s | point briefly now as pelican looks to |
4214s | try and isolate some play but always |
4216s | sees a sigma and an accretion |
4218s | immediately after he's able to back away |
4220s | and dante tries to dive again an og |
4222s | deflects another |
4224s | and they actually use the nano boost |
4226s | there onto dante but falls before he can |
4228s | get him uh yeah and i i don't even know |
4232s | if the actual impact made it there even |
4234s | like the damage direction or anything i |
4236s | think it was something where i know nano |
4238s | like you can kind of almost like |
4239s | it's a really weird like almost like in |
4241s | flight like you know kill somebody like |
4244s | and they don't get the effects of it |
4245s | that's what it kind of looked like so |
4246s | you don't have that uh big key ultimate |
4248s | here for the houston outlaws |
4250s | devastating because ultraviolet sure as |
4253s | heck holds under here that can go to og |
4255s | or hawk fork obviously got a great |
4257s | candidate for that in any case but |
4259s | still an option |
4261s | so dante takes the low ground here and |
4262s | he's hoping to fight venom in to the |
4264s | lightest side of merit presumably and |
4266s | the outlaws are still trying to maneuver |
4267s | trying to force the rain out of their |
4268s | hidey holes but so far not so great |
4270s | venom gets a nano but has to recall out |
4272s | so dante's able to get in position to |
4273s | protect iris against the nano tracer and |
4276s | then step towards the point here's the |
4277s | transcendence from last row though where |
4279s | providing flux might break this up |
4280s | though as pelican looks to try and get |
4281s | some free damage in midair and that's |
4283s | the bio to follow it up ultraviolet |
4285s | douses the outlaws in his concoction and |
4287s | houston nice back to the drawing board |
4289s | isn't it |
4290s | yeah that is three players here with |
4292s | that biotic grenade has played a landing |
4294s | there for the houston outlaws as that'll |
4296s | be a kill on the venom is outlaws still |
4298s | lingering around the point |
4300s | one minute left here is lastro |
4303s | is that on the point now dante moves |
4304s | into position |
4306s | kai |
4306s | the cogs turning in his head right here |
4308s | deciding whether or not it's time to go |
4310s | for the ultimate pressure on mirror but |
4312s | pelican has been coming |
4314s | he sees him and the transcendence is in |
4316s | place oh gee comes to the rescue just in |
4318s | time then pelicans are able to find any |
4320s | value from that blade he's a doomfist |
4322s | high being pressured oh get finds |
4323s | another one he's having such a big |
4325s | impact against the enemy tanks and now |
4327s | supports his last rose felt as well |
4329s | the the supports for atlanta reign have |
4331s | dominated this first half of play uh |
4334s | they have been tremendous being able to |
4336s | stay alive on the high ground i know |
4338s | some extra damage from og ultraviolet |
4340s | constantly hitting these big biotic |
4342s | grains pelicans gonna switch off the |
4343s | genji not working here but no tank |
4345s | switches of course from houston because |
4347s | they don't with this setup which means |
4350s | that the rain i don't know what they're |
4352s | going up against at any time |
4354s | pelican again wants to it hawk this time |
4356s | with the echo |
4358s | dante takes a health pack here venom |
4360s | there was no hell back for him to pick |
4361s | up so he has to recall instead |
4362s | frustrating for the tracers venom's out |
4364s | of the fight for a couple seconds but |
4366s | pelican finds kai the sticky bombs |
4367s | connect on the slow journal that's a key |
4369s | defender down until they come with a |
4370s | second and they should be houston |
4372s | finally breaking through kind of a |
4374s | little sleep there but it won't be |
4375s | enough |
4378s | watch break here from the outlaws as |
4381s | pelican on the echo made an impact right |
4384s | you know the sticky bombs being able to |
4385s | get a little bit more uh vertical like |
4387s | even above where land is setting up so |
4390s | elena looks like they're making some |
4391s | changes as you can see edge gets right |
4393s | into the window as kai is nothing you |
4395s | can do about that |
4397s | beautiful stuff pelican makes a switch |
4399s | at the last moment |
4400s | one of the pieces of this outlaws |
4401s | composition that is extremely flexible |
4404s | and they make use of that |
4406s | when and as they can so two minutes ten |
4408s | on the clock here atlanta reign have got |
4410s | to be happy you know i'm mean king's |
4411s | throat the long map plenty of pitfalls |
4413s | for the unwary here and they got a pulse |
4415s | bomb to work with |
4416s | venom |
4417s | not expecting that little stash |
4420s | and uh something of a change here for |
4422s | the atlanta rain they've actually |
4423s | switched ultraviolet off of the on it |
4425s | over to the batiste so |
4427s | having the immortality field uh being |
4429s | able to fight a little bit longer there |
4431s | nice pulse bomb |
4433s | that's going to connect on the ears |
4435s | no the houston outlaws they just push up |
4437s | right after that first pit yeah it's |
4438s | getting og at the start of that fight |
4440s | that's really impactful ultraviolet |
4442s | doesn't really have the chance to |
4443s | respond to rail guns with that |
4445s | immortality kill so if ochi is like |
4447s | if he's low enough and health if he |
4448s | takes enough poke damage ultraviolet |
4451s | can't save him and that's kind of what |
4452s | happens in that fight |
4454s | and this might be fast enough where |
4456s | you're gonna make up like you're not |
4457s | gonna make up all the time right but |
4458s | you're gonna make up enough time to give |
4460s | yourself an opportunity here at the end |
4462s | the outlaws are able to take the second |
4464s | checkpoint right now |
4466s | pelican waiting for them to come out he |
4469s | doesn't do anything he knows that he's |
4470s | just going to force a recall and not get |
4472s | a kill here's the gravity flux though |
4474s | lasts for affected by but w's |
4475s | transcendence pretty much immediately |
4477s | merit banking on piano build up that |
4479s | ultimate before this fight really gets |
4480s | hot and heavy it's gonna be dante down |
4482s | to start with this is great for the |
4483s | defenders here immortality field gonna |
4485s | force pelicans back in a way the hawk |
4487s | eventually falls both teams without |
4488s | their tanks and the transcendence in |
4490s | play here for og mirror trying to get |
4492s | value off the railgun here he'll |
4493s | eventually bring down the enemy zenyatta |
4495s | but it's gonna be a trade 3v3 pelican |
4497s | was in a dupe of sigma for a time but |
4499s | it's kind of stand up three for kai and |
4501s | counting that's four |
4503s | to really break this deadlock down but |
4505s | dante's back in the fight venom has a |
4506s | recall though he actually can't fight |
4508s | the doomfist right now he needs to wait |
4510s | for hawk and finally the cavalry's here |
4512s | oh they're able to hold on as that goes |
4515s | right down to the wire it's ultraviolet |
4518s | being able to use that jump from the |
4519s | batista get to the high ground there |
4521s | with kai as uh venom was able to contest |
4523s | that was clutch as i know atlanta rain |
4526s | you have this |
4527s | ant matrix you can use on the high |
4528s | ground pelican goes off of the echo now |
4530s | goes over to the genji |
4533s | all right what kind of value do you oh |
4535s | that's a great start dante lobe he gets |
4537s | netted immediately that's going to |
4538s | inoculate himself but now yep that's a |
4540s | classic isn't it that's just bloody |
4541s | brilliant |
4542s | the atlanta raid and outlaws no for the |
4544s | c9 there's another one for you |
4548s | well look at dante's low |
4551s | there's no tracer there |
4553s | no lucio right so i think team paints |
4555s | probably expect him with the nano to get |
4557s | onto it uh we didn't see it from his |
4560s | perspective like whether he used the |
4562s | seismic slam to maybe like i think he |
4564s | did |
4565s | get away or got stuck either way he |
4567s | wasn't doing it towards the card right |
4570s | yeah or he could have done it to like |
4571s | more of the the left or the right of the |
4573s | card and maybe he thought he's within |
4575s | like the hitbox radius of the cart but |
4578s | not actually but |
4579s | uh still pretty good defense there from |
4581s | the atlanta ring really good on uh point |
4583s | a |
4584s | uh |
4585s | you know all the way through that |
4586s | straight phase it was looking like the |
4588s | outlaws type of game but |
4589s | atlanta able to clutch up at the end |
4592s | yeah look i mean and like you said a lot |
4594s | of that is really set up by how stoic |
4596s | they were on that first point the sigma |
4598s | composition |
4599s | and like you mentioned a little bit |
4601s | harder to unseat the sigma or at least |
4602s | he has sort of more favorable defensive |
4604s | positions than a map like midtown where |
4606s | you sort of play by the train cart i |
4607s | hope you don't get knocked off here it |
4609s | is the anatomy of a c9 okay so |
4612s | so really you're kind of looking at from |
4614s | so the ant matrix nobody wants to walk |
4616s | into you oh the punch |
4618s | the punch on the genji was what got it |
4619s | pelican can't touch he tries to i think |
4621s | when he gets knocked back |
4623s | that's filth oh yeah |
4625s | that's a huge play from hawk there oh |
4627s | i'm going to be absolutely screaming at |
4628s | a replay sorry |
4633s | he'll scream at anything |
4635s | it was pretty crazy |
4637s | oh all right |
4640s | it's a huge play by hawk though right uh |
4643s | because they fully probably expect |
4644s | pelican to be the one that touches there |
4645s | it's a good uh good catch obviously not |
4648s | able to do so that ends their whole hand |
4650s | coming back from the doom big play dante |
4652s | nicely picked up ultra violet |
4654s | dove d for that one but he comes up with |
4656s | a good wonder if we i wonder if we see |
4658s | the batiste whis switch here for the |
4660s | atlanta ring pelican |
4662s | uh playing the tracer here not the genji |
4664s | um |
4665s | but you know if you're gonna be prone to |
4667s | this dive and and not be able to get in |
4670s | a |
4670s | really advantageous position you know |
4672s | maybe the batiste and play a little bit |
4674s | more defensive is the right way to go |
4677s | yeah hawk just trying to get his team in |
4678s | a position to poke down this sets og up |
4681s | right gives him a safe bodies to try and |
4682s | do this damage from get five orbs |
4685s | dude now coined the turret |
4686s | just dropped the shot there just uh |
4688s | between hawk and his back line so no |
4690s | huge impact there nice little rail |
4691s | connection oh gee |
4693s | getting hit markers dancing is extremely |
4695s | low it hasn't been topped up yet so |
4697s | almost two ticks now and counting |
4698s | houston they're playing this on hard |
4700s | mode and penny's asleep yep that'll be |
4702s | the finish venom finds him and kai |
4703s | brings dante down it feels like we found |
4706s | a critical mass here in this attack for |
4708s | the atlanta reign and they're gonna have |
4710s | a pretty smooth sail here to the rest of |
4712s | the map |
4712s | yeah that is a sick sleep with uh just |
4715s | so much pressure being put and look at |
4717s | this this is gonna be a uh |
4719s | pretty long stagger so you're going to |
4720s | be without your honor for a while but |
4722s | what sets that up is they just get dante |
4724s | so weak right at the beginning of biotic |
4726s | grenade the discord orb on him uh takes |
4728s | a ton of damage and not able to like |
4729s | really heal him up in time because it |
4731s | looks like everybody was quite low hey |
4733s | you're asking about the the potential |
4735s | batiste switch right but obviously that |
4736s | honest sleep against enemy doomfist is |
4738s | pretty crucial and if you hit a tracer |
4740s | then |
4741s | it's all over red rover at that point |
4744s | 435 that is a beefy |
4746s | beefy number |
4748s | and the outlaws don't it doesn't feel |
4750s | like they have the luxury of being able |
4751s | to come up here and fight uh pretty |
4753s | aggressively looks like they're gonna |
4755s | have to wait especially now losing last |
4756s | row they're in a world of trouble |
4760s | atlanta rain building up like an |
4762s | avalanche |
4763s | he's getting a bit hot in here though |
4764s | kyle wants to pressure down the pulse |
4766s | button locked there by pelican just |
4768s | hey i guess pelican trying to play safe |
4770s | and not to get too close but makes it |
4772s | impossible for him to guarantee a stick |
4773s | and this cart is still on the move oh |
4776s | man the outlaws under extreme duress |
4779s | right now and they need to come up with |
4780s | a way to break this surge in momentum |
4783s | merit that's what you want explodes |
4784s | forward and gets rid of venom |
4785s | immediately with a rail gun he also has |
4787s | plenty more up his sleeve with that |
4789s | overclock hawks able to pick himself |
4791s | back up and get a shield but he's in a |
4792s | very compromising position and |
4794s | desperately ultraviolet was trying to |
4795s | keep him alive but he just couldn't do |
4797s | it houston find the stop they need at |
4799s | the critical moment |
4801s | yeah and for atlanta you invest the |
4803s | transcendence there and obviously it |
4804s | doesn't work out still a ton of time uh |
4807s | kind of happy you don't really throw |
4809s | anything else at it right like don't try |
4811s | and throw your big flux at it you know |
4812s | if you would have gotten the overclock |
4814s | like save those uh because the outlaws |
4816s | are in a spot where they cannot hold on |
4818s | anything they're gonna have to use |
4820s | ultimates constantly to be able to hold |
4822s | this on defense and |
4823s | secure it and then eventually you'll |
4825s | figure you're gonna get an ultimate |
4827s | advantage at one point |
4830s | it might just be a matter of waiting for |
4831s | that to come around |
4833s | let's see how much patience atlanta are |
4834s | able to display here as lastro is |
4838s | all he's showing the strategy for the |
4840s | double birds right now where that blows |
4841s | up in his face what a huge mistake to |
4843s | have made here |
4845s | daddy |
4846s | but he's taking a ton of damage and kai |
4848s | he's already made short work of iris oh |
4851s | golly gee |
4852s | oh gee though can't get himself out of |
4854s | that situation no transcendence so |
4855s | pelicans might have put the alloys in a |
4857s | position where they can salvage this |
4859s | scuppered ship but there's three on the |
4861s | card that's moving awful fast here the |
4863s | outlaws have pelican to step up and he |
4866s | well he combusts |
4867s | yeah oh that's unfortunate uh maybe if |
4870s | you would have been able to get a touch |
4871s | there the accretion from hawk knocks |
4874s | dante back |
4875s | because you had transcendence rolling |
4877s | there for the outlaws maybe you're able |
4878s | to make something out of it but atlanta |
4880s | secures their map |
4883s | images taking moments before disaster i |
4885s | feel like on board with lassros zenyatta |
4887s | trying to flank play a cheeky angle and |
4889s | immediately getting absolutely ranched |
4892s | not what the outlaws were looking for |
4893s | there but it feels like they were always |
4895s | playing from behind with their |
4896s | composition so let's see how they try |
4897s | and play to their strengths |
4899s | we got a match on our hands so don't go |
4900s | far map three after the break |
4918s | [Music] |
4933s | oh |
4938s | [Applause] |
4942s | [Music] |

5130s | [Music] |
5132s | two shots dead on the ground we're in |
5134s | the same pull up three rounds bro you |
5137s | done we let a rain head pop so look out |
5140s | when we in the zone don't play around i |
5142s | got strap put your back tell you now we |
5144s | laying it down yeah |
5146s | bands up trapped out i bring the doors |
5149s | gang out look |
5150s | don't wanna fade and drop out got no |
5152s | clout think smart this crucial crucial |
5155s | we ain't no average usual nah |
5157s | we let rain ain't a savage |
5160s | [Music] |
5172s | and there's no better time than now it's |
5174s | the mid-season madness global tournament |
5176s | rages on submit your arts celebrating |
5178s | the team or region you'd like to see win |
5181s | it all on the overwatch league fan art |
5183s | gallery and if you're looking for a game |
5185s | to draw some inspiration from this match |
5188s | is already establishing itself early as |
5190s | a bit of an instant classic the rain on |
5193s | the outlaws again locked in this |
5194s | seemingly endless struggle this time it |
5196s | is for survival and they've gone back |
5199s | and forth matthew in these first couple |
5201s | of maps |
5202s | yeah when i when you're just reading |
5204s | that for the art gallery i just thought |
5205s | about uh you know the desk for their |
5206s | predictions being able to just like draw |
5209s | them out tomorrow or something like that |
5211s | like |
5212s | they've just been going wild there in |
5214s | the truck |
5215s | with the hangzhou |
5216s | by the way that's gigantic that was |
5218s | spicy that was spicy but you know you |
5221s | know how johnny selects you know if he's |
5222s | if he's wrong he's like i was just you |
5224s | know just trying to be under there's |
5226s | content he's right he's like see i told |
5227s | you guys yeah well you know it's a he |
5230s | makes a |
5231s | loose situation you know yeah so that's |
5233s | the point uh piggy and for dante houston |
5236s | outlaws matt pick |
5237s | uh they picked dorado here so |
5240s | uh we've seen piggy play a little bit of |
5242s | winston uh recently um you know |
5245s | obviously piggy a very good sigma player |
5248s | uh so maybe you want to bring that in to |
5249s | try and match hawk in that type of role |
5252s | maybe we get like a really |
5254s | i mean some really bizarre right because |
5256s | it's kind of what you're going to see in |
5257s | like overwatch 2 obviously in 5v5 but |
5259s | like |
5260s | a battle of two players who are |
5261s | traditionally off tanks playing main |
5263s | tanks possibly |
5265s | uh i also think uh potentially setting |
5268s | up for a really good uh you know |
5271s | long-range hit scan battle for between |
5272s | kai and merritt |
5275s | that's definitely going to be exciting |
5276s | on a map like this neither team i mean i |
5279s | don't feel like atlanta really prefer to |
5281s | play that much we don't make her right i |
5283s | definitely seem more comfortable having |
5285s | kai on the sojourn hey he dubs it up |
5287s | quote unquote boring hero |
5290s | when you see him play it looks uh i mean |
5292s | nothing but exciting so |
5293s | that's definitely something to be |
5294s | looking forward to and we've seen that |
5296s | match up already over the course of this |
5297s | series but |
5299s | like you said man dorado is the kind of |
5300s | map where that particular head-to-head |
5304s | gets amplified that head-to-head really |
5306s | comes under the microscope here is we |
5308s | see teams often leveraging that longer |
5310s | range hitscan uh potential to create |
5313s | space or at least to pave the way |
5314s | forward for attackers i'm excited to see |
5317s | this battle of tanks especially |
5319s | and merit is actually a really good |
5321s | series so far uh so if you are the |
5323s | outlaws like you'll put your faith in |
5325s | him and start making some plays even |
5328s | further uh so it'll be the outlaws and |
5329s | defense and look at this so uh pelican |
5332s | he's been kind of going back and forth |
5333s | between like tracer genji a little bit |
5335s | echo there |
5336s | on king's row but he'll come out with |
5338s | tracer here to start uh and then you're |
5340s | gonna have merit on the ash so |
5343s | not like a widowmaker here or no sojourn |
5345s | you're gonna play the ash at long range |
5347s | uh the ash pretty good in combination |
5350s | with the sigma right being able to kind |
5352s | of stand behind the shield i know put |
5354s | some damage down with the zen uh players |
5356s | come in you got coach gun you have the |
5358s | biotic grenade right to kind of like |
5360s | stop that dive |
5362s | uh lana rain obviously with some options |
5364s | here as soon as uh the door opens and |
5367s | they get a look at what is gonna be on |
5369s | the other side uh for me does hawk end |
5372s | up staying hawk is asleep uh does hogg |
5374s | end up staying on the winston i think |
5376s | this is like a another big test for hawk |
5378s | because i know trying to play some more |
5380s | winston he looked pretty good on it |
5385s | again you know |
5386s | the rain |
5387s | will look to leverage a bit of a |
5388s | difference in tank styles here this time |
5390s | she's on the other foot right i already |
5392s | saw hawk on the on the signal beforehand |
5394s | but this hardly |
5395s | i mean hardly any presence here from the |
5397s | outlaws early they really just want to |
5398s | play this choke man |
5400s | yeah they're gonna they're gonna back up |
5402s | but this choke is where like space opens |
5405s | up and the winston can you know get in |
5407s | get behind make a make a play here in |
5409s | combination with venom |
5412s | well we'll see pelicans got to be super |
5413s | careful here with the sojourn discord |
5416s | orbs coming down that staircase every |
5417s | time he peeks his head out he takes a |
5419s | you know and all voices incidental |
5421s | damage from somewhere |
5423s | pelican good purchase on venom so far |
5425s | he's been able to stave him off but the |
5426s | pressure is mounting the atlanta reign |
5428s | are definitely |
5429s | trying to force an error |
5431s | there are no kills being happened here |
5432s | but atlanta is just getting so much |
5433s | space like hawk like i mentioned was |
5435s | able to just jump into the back stay |
5437s | alive inside of his winston bubble and |
5439s | that just forces yellows to keep backing |
5441s | up backing up backing up like eventually |
5443s | look at this i mean you're gonna get |
5444s | this payload pretty close to getting on |
5446s | in it's gonna be a nano boost built up |
5448s | already is gonna give that on the hawk |
5450s | as a pretty odd first point here if the |
5453s | cap goes across the line yeah a lot that |
5454s | sleep down on hawk there makes it harder |
5456s | to get value out of the nano boost and |
5458s | the outlaws have some players back in |
5459s | position to defend venom looking at the |
5462s | fringes and he's found last row now can |
5463s | he deal with this then oh flying foot |
5465s | came his way before he recalled pulse no |
5467s | good last draw comes out on top |
5470s | and he gives the reign |
5471s | uh another gesture this one chewing them |
5474s | away far less you know far less against |
5476s | the rules this one won't get fined for |
5478s | yeah it's uh |
5480s | houston battles back there at the end uh |
5482s | they end up using the nano i believe |
5484s | that is actually on the last show and i |
5486s | think it probably just in response to |
5487s | the pulse bomb uh no iris probably |
5489s | doesn't know at that point kind of uh |
5491s | whether it's been stuck or what not so |
5493s | ends up just kind of like firing it off |
5495s | uh but you won't have it here |
5497s | and this is what i was uh looking |
5498s | forward to at the beginning of this map |
5500s | potentially we get a piggy winston |
5502s | versus hawk winston battle |
5505s | they're nice to see that switch back |
5506s | there houston realizing or deciding |
5508s | they'd like to be a little bit more |
5510s | proactive here instead of |
5511s | kind of hoping that the rain overextend |
5513s | in some manner or another |
5515s | so with that said |
5517s | still the outlaws currently take the |
5519s | high ground they've given up a lot of |
5521s | map control already kai is safely |
5523s | embedded here and obviously you'd still |
5524s | need to get through hawk and code before |
5526s | you did anything like that |
5528s | trying to punish pelican there for that |
5529s | positioning pie not able to |
5534s | pelicans still here lurking behind enemy |
5536s | lines this would be big |
5538s | yeah ultraviolet hatch that one like an |
5540s | egg matthew pelican has to recall again |
5542s | because it's just pointless to commit |
5544s | i'll do a |
5546s | but still it looks like the outlaws get |
5547s | what they came for here in a big way |
5550s | yeah it outside of that odd first push |
5553s | it's really been all outlaws since |
5554s | they've been able to stand strong on |
5556s | defense here is |
5558s | og not in a position to be able to like |
5560s | save ultraviolet there i know from a |
5562s | pulse bomb stick is atlanta they're |
5564s | going to bank on having all five |
5566s | ultimates coming in this fight |
5568s | kai trying to keep that charge nice and |
5570s | high |
5571s | an early pick here would be |
5573s | immensely helpful |
5575s | whether he does with the rail or with |
5577s | the ultimate |
5579s | not so relevant primal rage here from |
5580s | hawke i'm here and bob on the scene |
5583s | yeah they're going to let that one go |
5584s | here piggy taken down by a pulse bomb |
5586s | they're going to land together i mean |
5587s | they build up those alternates man they |
5589s | kind of let them go here all could have |
5591s | been a bit more work still to do when |
5592s | last year wants to pressure him down he |
5594s | has the transcendence in place so now he |
5595s | transitions that towards the card itself |
5597s | this gives pelican the ability to be a |
5599s | bit more aggressive but eventually that |
5600s | zed ultimate is going to be over and kai |
5603s | nails him there with that rail |
5605s | over the top comes picking here trying |
5606s | to buy a little bit more time here and |
5607s | he's mindful of the card he's pressuring |
5609s | kyber who's on the card well there is a |
5612s | player there for the outlaws but they're |
5613s | eventually felled as well |
5615s | and the rain a lot of low numbers on |
5617s | that top left there matt they had to |
5618s | spend big to get that point |
5621s | yeah i was gonna say uh |
5623s | not really too surprising there |
5624s | considering you come in and you're able |
5626s | to use every single ultimate to be able |
5628s | to take down but the outlaws though they |
5630s | invested pretty heavy into that fight as |
5632s | well uh now they come out the other side |
5634s | of it with just a pulse bomb so |
5636s | i will see now if atlanta rain can get |
5638s | this high ground control get some more |
5640s | payload progress uh |
5642s | i think it'll be i think you know |
5644s | obviously atlanta on offense here we're |
5646s | going to see where their push ends up |
5648s | i'm really kind of more fascinated about |
5650s | like what the houston outlaws offense |
5652s | looks like uh especially like you know |
5653s | are you going to run this winston are |
5655s | you going to play a sigma based setup a |
5657s | lot of questions as we go into that next |
5658s | half good chance of the contending with |
5660s | potential winston high ground defense as |
5662s | well so we'll see how they respond kai |
5664s | finds very early on here there's that |
5666s | early pick that we alluded to earlier on |
5668s | great sleep that does hawk in easily |
5670s | yeah pelicans just gonna scoop that one |
5671s | up and take it all the way to the banks |
5674s | kyle's still a threat though and pelican |
5676s | picks his head around the corner just |
5677s | long enough to have a steaming hole |
5679s | board through it the rain is still on |
5681s | the move here even without hawk he'll be |
5682s | back in a moment the outlaws need to |
5685s | make a decision |
5688s | uh well you just have piggy like jumping |
5689s | down contesting the cart then backing up |
5692s | you're not going to get a lot of |
5693s | progress here with just venom but uh now |
5695s | maybe a little bit more seriously in the |
5697s | fight he jumps out yeah he gets slipped |
5698s | right away special delivery for hawk |
5701s | he'll be topped up though as he tries to |
5702s | go after pelican maybe hoping the pulse |
5704s | would blow up on him but still him |
5706s | surviving |
5707s | is enough gonna be an anaboost on piggy |
5709s | though this could get dangerous and |
5710s | pelicans gonna bring kai down before he |
5711s | can let that rail go in the direction we |
5713s | liked transcendence here for ochi but |
5716s | doesn't feel great for the atlanta |
5718s | raiders they are extremely split hawk a |
5720s | long way away and they land around have |
5722s | to regroup without their support |
5723s | ultimates at all |
5725s | oh yes this is going to be tough it's uh |
5728s | the last show getting close to a |
5730s | transcendence you don't really have |
5731s | anything here for the outlaws uh maybe |
5734s | hawk with a primal able to kind of like |
5736s | uh you know displace lastro if they're |
5739s | gonna use transcendence don't get the |
5740s | best use out of it here |
5743s | now low 20 seconds |
5747s | 15 and counting kai finds pelican early |
5749s | on here good signs for the attackers but |
5751s | merritt has a pretty powerful spot up |
5753s | here |
5754s | can they pressure him away extreme |
5757s | long-range railgun action here but |
5758s | piggy's gone lower that's a double bite |
5760s | of great connection lastro's |
5761s | transcendence is for nothing the outlaws |
5763s | could have held there surely but that |
5765s | hernik the healing gets turned off |
5767s | and the rain hurdle towards that second |
5769s | checkpoint primal here this should deal |
5771s | with the zen |
5772s | master i can top himself up eventually |
5775s | venom will converge |
5776s | dealing with pigging out the primer |
5777s | right he's buying some time and there's |
5779s | an orb of discorder i'm here to make it |
5780s | harder to hang around |
5781s | beautiful pick from pelican oh gee goes |
5783s | down there's four up for the atlanta |
5784s | rain though where they have the numbers |
5786s | to pressure and i get that checkpoint |
5788s | man |
5788s | ah man in the clutch the atlanta reign |
5792s | comes up yet again where uh no it's the |
5796s | first pick there from kai is huge right |
5798s | you're able to get pelican uh who's |
5800s | obviously got to play pretty aggressive |
5801s | to get any value out of the tracer able |
5803s | to catch him off guard a little bit |
5805s | land a shot and that opens the door for |
5807s | them to take that second checkpoint not |
5809s | a lot of time here left though at the |
5811s | end i mean what you know a minute on the |
5813s | clock you're looking at two maybe three |
5815s | pushes here depending on how this goes |
5818s | yeah three's definitely uh |
5821s | gonna be a bit of a struggle still |
5823s | though good early progress as the |
5824s | outlaws weren't really able to slow |
5826s | atlanta rain down at that choke just |
5828s | based on how |
5830s | the last fight ended and where it ended |
5831s | specifically |
5833s | bob here for merit |
5835s | can't really interact too much until he |
5837s | goes to the high ground now with uh of |
5839s | course that coach gun great pressure |
5840s | here on kai hits him with a dynamite |
5842s | which is huge and then they have to |
5844s | finish the job |
5845s | trade though is |
5846s | iris is down for the outlaws they need |
5848s | that that nano boost here for piggy |
5851s | and i'm not sure if he sent that bobbin |
5852s | to contest but he runs like all the way |
5854s | through he actually goes through that |
5856s | like tunnel there and ends up hitting |
5858s | the wall so i'm not able to contest so |
5861s | you got a little bit more progress there |
5862s | from uh the atlanta reign not a ton but |
5865s | final fight territory transcendence |
5867s | available for atlanta it's got to work |
5869s | for roji so the outlaws had their plans |
5871s | ruined by by the grenade this cannot be |
5872s | the same pikachu with that but uh that |
5875s | mana booster is going to be put to sleep |
5877s | woken almost immediately but the discord |
5878s | orb is a problem he has to back away and |
5881s | just fight his time and that causes that |
5883s | nano to expire here we go though |
5885s | transcendence in play merit trying to |
5886s | pressure down he's hitting the biotic |
5887s | grenade |
5888s | but venom's not able to take advantage |
5890s | of that while that's in place still the |
5892s | atlanta reign muscled their way through |
5893s | heliken is down and hawke has a primal |
5895s | now lastro is not going to be touching |
5897s | the car so piggy is the only issue and |
5899s | he'll be knocked away he gets knocked |
5901s | away |
5902s | and that is a that is some nice play |
5904s | there on the winston from hawk right |
5906s | using the primal you know knocking last |
5908s | show out of the way just in case he had |
5910s | like a transcendence or something right |
5912s | and then able to obviously venom |
5914s | probably a little bit worried right as |
5916s | his tracer on the card uh gets back to |
5918s | it and then they just knock back uh |
5920s | piggy and get him out of the way |
5924s | yeah i mean with lastro was |
5925s | too far away from the cart to do |
5927s | anything i think clever from hawk to |
5928s | sort of identify that and all they |
5930s | needed was |
5932s | such a small amount of progress on the |
5933s | cart so it goes back |
5935s | and buys enough space to get the job |
5936s | done so all things considered matt |
5940s | pretty decent result here for the |
5941s | atlanta reign uh you know we saw houston |
5943s | they ended up switching to like a |
5944s | winston nero we saw that piggy is |
5946s | very capable uh i think for the most |
5948s | part in in making that pick work i'd |
5950s | also suggest that uh iris shutting hawk |
5952s | down with you know frequent sleep darts |
5955s | was a huge part of the outlaw's ability |
5957s | to buy time defensively hawke seemed to |
5959s | run into some trouble with that crowd |
5961s | control |
5963s | kai comes out on sojourn here so no ash |
5967s | for the atlanta rain on defense but |
5969s | obviously a much different setup right |
5970s | when you're going to play the winston |
5972s | sojourn uh with the dash and then the |
5974s | jump can be a little bit more aggressive |
5977s | than let's say an ash would be ash i |
5978s | think |
5979s | kind of combos better with sigma for a |
5981s | little bit more they uh |
5983s | they don't want to say like a bunker |
5984s | comp but one that's going to be a little |
5985s | bit more static so |
5986s | uh the out walls see pelican yeah maybe |
5989s | he stays on this echo i think he's |
5991s | talking about |
5992s | i think echo is pretty good against |
5994s | winston right there's some risky yes |
5995s | there's some risk here and obviously |
5996s | pelican having to cross this expanse so |
5998s | you notice he's very |
6000s | mindful of just how much altitude he's |
6001s | gaining and how vulnerable he would be |
6002s | to like a whale from kaya but he can he |
6004s | can sort of deny positioning on top of |
6006s | these buildings pretty effectively right |
6007s | there's nothing all can do about this |
6009s | poke damage that's gonna constantly come |
6011s | in so by the time piggy jumps up there |
6013s | hawks already half hp great way to deny |
6015s | like a high ground hold here no |
6017s | guarantee it works fully though |
6020s | and also if the if hawk gets uh a little |
6022s | bit low |
6024s | right you always have to have the threat |
6026s | of the pelican coming in on the echo |
6028s | with the focusing beam and just kind of |
6029s | burning him down right |
6031s | yeah it's a great point which means hawk |
6033s | effectively has half the hp that he |
6034s | thinks he has in situ what he had to |
6036s | play as if he did you know what i mean |
6038s | oh look he doesn't know what was coming |
6040s | from behind him but it's still very low |
6042s | and here we go that high ground that |
6044s | obnoxious high ground defense has |
6045s | basically been watered and pelican is in |
6047s | the back line getting rid of og first |
6049s | ultraviolet second the dps of the |
6052s | outlaws converge on their prey |
6054s | yeah and i wonder if you stay on like |
6056s | the sojourn if you stay on this |
6058s | composition here for the atlanta rain |
6061s | just kind of figuring out how worried |
6062s | you are about this echo pick |
6065s | it's uh it looks like at this at least |
6068s | for now atlanta going to stay you're |
6069s | going to have a nano boost here |
6071s | available for hawk |
6073s | so you'll be able to get another fight |
6075s | at this i'll try to open a ferrari |
6078s | yeah that's so big hawk though discord |
6081s | all but i'll see with the fighting |
6081s | grenade and to sleep down first this is |
6083s | what i'm saying iris just unleashes |
6084s | everything he's like khajiit with the |
6086s | words he just throws them all at hawk |
6088s | and shuts him out of the fight but |
6089s | kaiser with a headshot on piggy both |
6091s | tanks being down and again top stuff for |
6093s | the outlaws there is the dps of the rain |
6095s | come alive especially venom standing up |
6097s | in a key moment |
6098s | yeah and that's unfortunate uh for you |
6100s | know iris and the outlaws because that |
6102s | started off pretty good right when hawk |
6104s | gets the nano uh he's a little bit low |
6106s | and hit with a biotic grenade pretty |
6107s | much like a second before he gets the |
6109s | nano boost so doesn't get any of that |
6111s | health from it gets a little bit of the |
6113s | damage reduction right but not enough to |
6115s | keep him alive for long |
6117s | and out but the time |
6120s | finished the job he got it done he |
6121s | didn't have the focusing beam that now |
6123s | he's uh |
6124s | which is great obviously by grenade |
6125s | impactful in these situations but the |
6127s | barrier was a problem for him to get |
6128s | through i mean that is beautiful stuff |
6130s | and this is something that not every |
6132s | team can do |
6133s | i mean you i think you you might even |
6135s | need to bring nero in if if you're |
6137s | atlanta and you want to play this way |
6139s | and that's why you asked about the ash |
6141s | right is kai gonna play that it can it |
6143s | can be good at shutting down the echo |
6145s | there needs to be something leveraged to |
6147s | deal with pelican isn't he's a menace |
6149s | right now |
6150s | yes oh look at this he's going to ch |
6154s | that is |
6156s | [Laughter] |
6164s | [Music] |
6169s | he's like come on man |
6171s | like really |
6172s | oh man dad has to hit him or it hurts |
6174s | though doesn't he |
6176s | all right |
6178s | well uh pejoratives aside |
6181s | three minutes 18 on the clock there |
6183s | hawks gone uh gone digging by the looks |
6186s | of things here they're trying to drop a |
6187s | pulse off at the door but the wrong |
6188s | address apparently |
6190s | now he'll turn his eyes towards piggy |
6192s | while he can it's a transcendence from |
6193s | last row here to try and again inoculate |
6195s | the outlaws from the impact of hawks |
6197s | primal rage he'll head back upstairs now |
6200s | and they are trying to keep tabs on |
6201s | pelican if they can |
6203s | yeah hawk does drag a few players back |
6206s | right so both supports merit there and |
6208s | then piggy had to come back now piggy |
6210s | we're gonna get to see his uh primal |
6212s | rage and he's he's out he's getting him |
6214s | getting flamboyed on the high ground man |
6216s | he lost 500 hp in a matter of seconds oh |
6220s | oh yeah go on kai put it in chat again |
6222s | mate |
6223s | merritt huge pick there he gets |
6225s | snattered okay see i like to use the |
6227s | ultimate no he doesn't need it |
6228s | apparently hawk goes down that |
6229s | transcendence from og's looking |
6231s | extremely sad you may have entered the |
6233s | iris sir but the rest of your team is |
6235s | stranded outside of it |
6238s | the payload is still moving though |
6239s | somebody is on the payload here for the |
6241s | outlaws |
6242s | as |
6243s | it's going to be piggy so piggy was |
6245s | actually still here with pelican they |
6246s | gotta get out yeah i was gonna say you |
6248s | hang around here for a little bit longer |
6249s | you're gonna end up uh |
6251s | you know dead is |
6253s | will be the outlaws probably trying to |
6255s | get some high ground here uh with merits |
6257s | overclock they don't exactly have to |
6259s | push like pretty standard you see right |
6260s | here coming around this outside oh |
6262s | that's beautiful oh thanks right it look |
6264s | like he hit like the echo's wing there |
6268s | yeah pelican |
6269s | obviously not really airborne there so |
6271s | it's a valuable opportunity for tracer |
6273s | to get a pulse bomb stick and now that |
6275s | outlaws time makes been cut in half |
6277s | since they got that second checkpoint |
6279s | still a one fight sort of situation here |
6281s | for able to win it but we've had some |
6282s | real scrappy engagements man kind of |
6284s | like early five versus five |
6288s | and uh you know for atlanta you don't |
6289s | really have anything here to work with |
6291s | right you're gonna have a duplicate in |
6292s | the overclock on the other side so |
6293s | you're just trying to find maybe a |
6294s | support a little bit further off on |
6296s | their own at this time oh yes the |
6298s | intellectual choice once again from |
6300s | pelican |
6301s | extra healing on board for now for the |
6303s | houston outlaws |
6304s | you just have to wait this out uh if |
6306s | you're atlanta you're going to get the |
6307s | nano now it's probably going to go on |
6309s | the hawk yeah |
6310s | what can he do from here iris has that |
6312s | orb of harmony on him but that's it |
6313s | that's all the healing he can get he |
6314s | didn't have a body grenade available |
6316s | pelican's still able to trade and get |
6317s | rid of venom of all people and there it |
6319s | is that's how scary it is it's winston |
6321s | to deal with echo as soon as hawk goes |
6323s | slightly low pelican just lazes the limb |
6326s | off |
6327s | yeah and i think if you would have had |
6329s | ultraviolet alive it would have been a |
6330s | little bit more of an interesting fight |
6332s | there uh because hawk was getting like |
6334s | he was three percent towards primal rage |
6337s | i know you have the ana alive there a |
6338s | little bit more healing output than just |
6340s | the zen solo uh he might be able to get |
6343s | that and keep that fight going |
6346s | transcendence here for the outlaws so |
6347s | the rain need to be wary |
6350s | if they're tracking this they'll know |
6351s | that any dive would be extra dangerous |
6355s | helicopter a bit of pressure here that |
6356s | discord stuck to him he's able to shrug |
6358s | that off though and he wants to get pork |
6359s | out of the way he wants to guarantee the |
6361s | high ground control but |
6362s | so far not so great on that plan |
6367s | he can be pretty aggressive oh yeah that |
6370s | head comes in huge |
6372s | it's uh you can be pretty aggressive on |
6373s | the echo because you have the the |
6375s | ability to just fly out of the way there |
6378s | not using it to kind of access that high |
6380s | ground that part of the map so be able |
6383s | to use this an escape tool where |
6385s | yellow's roll in here this last part of |
6386s | the map yeah we're looking at extra |
6388s | innings at this rate look at those our |
6389s | ultimates the outlaws have been able to |
6391s | bank here venom can he break the |
6392s | deadlock with a big pulse bomb is the |
6394s | question but piggy's gone with the |
6395s | primal so venom cleverly is stalling on |
6397s | his own right now he knows that the rest |
6398s | of his team have been waylaid by the |
6400s | frenzied scientists so he stands his |
6402s | ground for now iris pulse no connection |
6404s | there he should be able to step away |
6405s | from it so he does merit punishes |
6407s | enemies he tries to get away in a cringe |
6409s | from venom there as merritt hits the |
6411s | mark once more the cart tantalizingly |
6414s | close here but outlaws have lost pelican |
6416s | can they get it done without give they |
6418s | have a nano boost here still america pop |
6420s | off but it's kaia's moment right now to |
6422s | go for the overclock |
6424s | yeah there's gonna be a nano boost |
6425s | coming in on to piggy he gets actually |
6427s | put to sleep hawk comes out on diva here |
6429s | for a little bit of a stall here at the |
6431s | end |
6431s | merrick can't find anything here at that |
6433s | moment in time then gonna find a venom |
6435s | on this floor big biotic grenade there |
6438s | huge one from ultraviolet isn't it |
6439s | enough to break the deadlock here |
6441s | a sleeping target i like this hawk so |
6443s | defensively oriented on this particular |
6445s | pick right now and pelican tried to to |
6447s | imitate him unfortunately it was a a |
6449s | cheap approximation he tries to get a |
6452s | remake on hawk as well the audacity of |
6454s | it but the rain hold this is getting |
6456s | scary for houston |
6457s | well we talk about how good diva is in |
6459s | like these one-on-one scenarios and oh |
6461s | you see why flies right in with the |
6463s | missiles discord or be able to try and |
6465s | they're gonna try and finish off the |
6466s | earth as well that's gonna be both |
6467s | supports down for houston |
6470s | you a man that can do everything hawk |
6472s | with another switch to one of his old |
6475s | i guess he's old flames see if the diva |
6477s | comes out and he's able to control space |
6479s | play defensive and shut piggy down |
6482s | that one's gonna be frustrating for the |
6484s | outlaws that's them after they you know |
6485s | sub piggy in for they feel confident |
6487s | after switching to a winston mirror |
6489s | but man pelican geez pelican almost gets |
6492s | them there man incredible echo play but |
6494s | it's not enough |
6496s | yeah i mean that's the that's the |
6498s | pelican of last year right on the echo |
6500s | play but man the switch to the diva at |
6502s | the end with getting the nano and just |
6504s | being able to really just brawl out with |
6506s | targets on the payload paid off for the |
6508s | atlanta reign now we're starting to get |
6510s | to the business end of this series the |
6512s | houston outlaws need to have an emphatic |
6514s | response on the other side of the break |
6515s | don't go anywhere because map number |
6517s | four is sure to be a doozy |
6549s | do |
6552s | [Music] |
6607s | [Music] |
6650s | [Music] |
6658s | do |
6662s | [Music] |
6667s | [Music] |
6673s | [Music] |
6702s | [Music] |
6708s | [Music] |
6717s | [Music] |
6770s | i can read it in korean you know |
6776s | hey not funny |
6783s | [Music] |
6792s | who's the biggest prankster on the team |
6794s | i'd say nero |
6796s | hulk and nero it's definitely it's |
6798s | definitely me or hawk i'd have to go to |
6800s | pelican this guy's just always up to |
6802s | something |
6804s | 100 felican |
6806s | maybe |
6807s | piggy and me |
6817s | always doing something to mess with |
6818s | people feel like they like making people |
6821s | mad sometimes me or hawk just trolls the |
6823s | team like everyone on the team no one's |
6824s | safe |
6833s | probably how i don't i guess it would be |
6835s | me i like pulling everyone's leg a |
6836s | little bit he'll go up and change |
6838s | someone's wallpaper or something while |
6840s | they're not looking |
6841s | or if someone's mad just making them |
6843s | more mad just for their own |
6845s | entertainment it's just something that |
6846s | we do and we find it funny |
6849s | who has the best fashion in the league |
6851s | to be honest i don't know how any of the |
6853s | other players dress so i'm just going to |
6854s | assume it's me |
6855s | hydron i think |
6861s | oh |
6889s | i don't think our team got dripped we |
6891s | we're not drift |
6899s | in the league i think |
6901s | shu has the best fashion and i think on |
6903s | our team it's probably kai and kevster |
6905s | actually yeah |
6908s | what teammate always likes your back no |
6910s | matter what barley my judd |
6912s | it's my saudi brother i think they all |
6914s | have my back |
6916s | you know we trust each other a lot and |
6918s | you know we're a team or a unit and i |
6920s | don't think there's any like barriers |
6921s | between us |
6928s | i'd say everyone on the team we're all |
6930s | friends we help each other through |
6931s | everything probably pelican maybe |
6934s | dante |
6938s | okay |
6945s | [Music] |
6950s | so it comes down to this two to one in |
6953s | the series the atlanta reign lead the |
6956s | houston outlaws a frustrating map for |
6958s | houston they select dorado when they |
6960s | cannot get across the line it's |
6962s | it's close it looked like the outlaws |
6964s | would even finish with some time but in |
6966s | the last minute or so the wheels fell |
6968s | off the cart |
6970s | and now they're gonna have to try and |
6971s | find a way to stay in this series on an |
6973s | iconic map for this team matthew coliseo |
6975s | has had some some huge moments uh for |
6977s | the houston outlaws in the past |
6980s | yeah uh we'll see dante come back in for |
6983s | piggy here uh on this map selection uh |
6986s | for the houston outlaws so |
6988s | gonna go back to running some of these |
6990s | doomfist based compositions man the last |
6992s | two maps have really been close even |
6994s | think back to king's row uh |
6997s | dante almost able to get back to the |
6999s | cart uh on defense like right when |
7001s | atlanta wanted they had a transcendence |
7003s | rolling not able to do so some big plays |
7006s | from the atlanta rain late here on |
7008s | dorado make this a game point scenario |
7010s | for them |
7011s | great point it's been like the last |
7013s | minute of each map where it's really |
7015s | been decided and it's been atlanta ryan |
7017s | finding an extra reserve of energy in |
7018s | those moments to to give their team |
7021s | enough to make the difference |
7023s | they're just a team that seems to be |
7024s | coming up clutch pretty consistently |
7026s | right like whenever they need a play to |
7027s | happen |
7028s | uh they're able to get it and work it |
7030s | out in their favor in some way uh no |
7034s | can you win all of the time that way |
7038s | probably not you're gonna see some kind |
7039s | of like results or don't want to win all |
7041s | the |
7043s | uh i time no not really but |
7046s | uh you know you need some of that like |
7049s | big game play making where you know |
7052s | things don't look as good all right well |
7053s | here goes like no ultraviolet hits a |
7056s | massive biotic grenade right turns a |
7057s | tide in a fighter here comes you know |
7059s | hawk and he's able to switch over to the |
7061s | diva and come up clutch right uh it just |
7064s | seems like they constantly come up with |
7065s | that |
7066s | shout out to the |
7067s | obviously uh you know the doom switch |
7069s | from hawk to sort of knock pelican away |
7071s | to sort of make it not a c9 and actually |
7073s | legitimate hold your shout out to the |
7074s | nerd on twitter got mad about that |
7076s | but uh that was incredible switch as |
7078s | well so the rain in a pinch always |
7080s | seemed to have the right answer what on |
7082s | earth is this approach |
7085s | yeah so uh atlanta they'll actually go |
7088s | with a doomfist of their own so they're |
7090s | gonna play the doomfist with the lucio |
7092s | and they want to go fast oh that's they |
7094s | want to up the tempo even more |
7096s | two for one trade they'll take those |
7097s | pelican also looking awful haggard there |
7100s | merritt able to pick og out of the mix |
7101s | here this one is going to go to the wire |
7103s | in this fight but venom and kai are |
7105s | loose ends here late and all of the |
7107s | atlanta right taking an extremely |
7109s | roundabout literally figurally approach |
7111s | to winning that first fight |
7119s | uh the last time we did see the atlanta |
7121s | rain play against like the doomfist set |
7123s | up i thought dante and code did a really |
7125s | nice job i think specifically on oasis |
7127s | right getting uh into the back line and |
7129s | making a trouble for og who's playing |
7131s | the zen at that time so the lucio's a |
7132s | little bit i know better in terms of |
7134s | defensive setup too right uh no the |
7136s | boobs a little bit harder to hit |
7138s | obviously than is in you still get a uh |
7140s | you know support alt alt-right to keep |
7142s | teammates alive again you lose hawk here |
7145s | but kai with another shot on the belly |
7146s | again israel got headshots on genji's |
7149s | they're unlikely even them in the best |
7151s | of situations but ty is stringing them |
7153s | together like they're nothing |
7154s | like the macaroni necklace |
7157s | that is not what you want to see if |
7158s | you're the houston it was because when |
7160s | kai starts to heat up and like get going |
7162s | like |
7163s | there is a there is nothing like |
7164s | watching him play the hitscan heroes |
7166s | when he is starting to click like that |
7168s | so a few times in a row he's come out |
7170s | hit some big shots and that keeps |
7172s | continuing you can see you see this go |
7174s | pretty far for the atlanta raid |
7176s | yeah that's when it starts to get a |
7178s | little breathtaking |
7181s | right now atlanta be satisfied with that |
7183s | early lead they've been able to |
7184s | to dig out here they're also playing |
7187s | sort of along the outside of this area |
7189s | at the moment not wanting to expose |
7191s | themselves to too much of this poke |
7192s | damage |
7193s | if you think they can be happy |
7196s | they don't want to play where their |
7197s | barrier is because of that high ground |
7200s | uh |
7202s | just deletes venom as he takes it a |
7204s | little bit |
7206s | sorry i think i'm done to get knocked |
7208s | down twice in quick succession once |
7210s | asleep and once a punch and still matt |
7212s | the outlaws are able to come out on top |
7214s | merit huge fight from him |
7217s | get the first kill on to venom uh and |
7220s | then they're just putting down |
7222s | enough damage on the hawk to finish him |
7223s | off losing some charge here on the uh |
7225s | sojourn it's gonna go back to zero but |
7228s | it's still a decent amount though for |
7230s | the outlaws to make up it doesn't seem |
7231s | like a lot of like meter push from the |
7233s | atlanta right at the start but they've |
7235s | gotten it like a little bit around the |
7237s | corner where |
7238s | you know you're gonna have to fight this |
7239s | high ground here if you're houston |
7241s | pushing forward |
7243s | or happy with that that's his staging |
7245s | grounds he tries to drop into a virus |
7246s | but it's fighting grenade sleep dad all |
7248s | of it hitting him |
7249s | crucial timing from og finds the sound |
7251s | barrier but still the owl is able to |
7253s | find a kill off dante's meteor strike |
7255s | and then pelicans there for the |
7256s | follow-up beautiful stick it's so clean |
7259s | from the houston outlaws |
7261s | they will be run away |
7263s | at this rate looking to get into the |
7265s | lead |
7266s | again look they had to take that fight |
7268s | in the disadvantageous position but they |
7270s | turn it around |
7272s | yeah and they'll take the lead now in |
7273s | terms of push as og will go over to the |
7276s | zen feel like you maybe need a little |
7278s | bit more damage this time you capitalize |
7279s | on a sleep so |
7281s | houston going to have to hightail it out |
7282s | of there without dante |
7284s | that's where the outlaws push ends but |
7287s | they've got to be happy enough with |
7288s | getting a lead there especially from |
7289s | winning a fight from the low ground |
7292s | it's scary |
7294s | that's true it is close |
7297s | nicely done pelican lands that one on |
7299s | kyle |
7300s | sometimes he hits a little bit different |
7301s | when you're playing in the same room huh |
7305s | then am i going to get much done in the |
7306s | back line oh that's dirty iris chases |
7309s | him with |
7312s | yes it doesn't look like you're going to |
7313s | be able to find anything here if you're |
7315s | atlanta you're just trying to back up as |
7317s | using the power block to friend |
7319s | escort og is actually find a player off |
7321s | to the side i believe that was last row |
7323s | so you're going to be able to get a pick |
7324s | off of this |
7326s | by getting some value there out of that |
7328s | railgun iris another big sleep on hawk |
7330s | but can he handle this kind of here the |
7332s | answer is no atlanta |
7335s | seeing a little bit of extra ground in |
7336s | that fight but it's time now to get back |
7338s | to neutral |
7339s | there have been a few times where |
7341s | atlanta has been able to catch like last |
7343s | row off kind of like on his own right |
7345s | we've seen hit uh no remember king's row |
7346s | right he was going on that like |
7348s | trying to make a play from behind didn't |
7350s | work out they've caught him a few times |
7352s | i know in an off angle right there |
7353s | they're able to capitalize on it and it |
7355s | kind of turns the tide there's a lot of |
7357s | volatility that's predicated on these |
7359s | sojourn picks |
7361s | i'm going to see these early head shots |
7362s | from merida from kai and it really paves |
7364s | the way for a fight win for your team if |
7365s | you can get one oh gee |
7367s | pressured pelican trying to chase this |
7369s | ultraviolet he ends up coming out with |
7370s | because origin was flattened by dante |
7372s | kai finds another consistent whale |
7374s | connection but the outlaws have some |
7376s | momentum there look at the leverage now |
7378s | they're still behind the rain |
7381s | houston hoping to put this to a stop |
7382s | this is a very defensive play the wall |
7384s | takes too much damage has to get out |
7386s | hell's pack but no healers to top him up |
7388s | so this is a little scary for atlanta |
7391s | yes venom is just trying to stay here to |
7393s | prevent the bot from going so far back |
7395s | right so we're a bit more than halfway |
7398s | through this game |
7400s | both support also be online for the |
7401s | atlanta rain hawk you know he was doing |
7403s | some big damage in that last fight you |
7405s | give him the nano boost here and same |
7406s | type of part of the map maybe he's able |
7408s | to make a big play |
7410s | another pulse from pelican would be |
7412s | just what the octa doctor would never |
7414s | order |
7414s | because he's trying to preserve lives |
7416s | but |
7417s | could be on the cards here is this nano |
7419s | for oh okay he gets a hit there but |
7421s | hawk's able to finish the draw on |
7422s | pelican all right so the atlanta reigns |
7424s | by the way come into this fight with |
7425s | what one ultimate one and they're able |
7427s | to push up here this is huge |
7429s | transcendence comes online for og and |
7430s | dante falls for the outlaws they've got |
7432s | to be furious they have six ultimates |
7435s | here matt |
7436s | and a few kills towards the end here is |
7438s | gonna be huge for the atlanta reign and |
7440s | that's why venom you know stalling that |
7441s | bot there was so important because if |
7444s | the yellows were able to get it back to |
7445s | 50 like yard line to the map |
7448s | the atlanta reign are not gonna be able |
7449s | to take the lead off of this fight but |
7450s | they are now right those are meters not |
7452s | your ridiculous freedom units |
7455s | 60 meters now for the atlanta reign |
7457s | and that puts them you make a great |
7458s | point right like keeping that bot at |
7459s | neutral at worst is what allows the rain |
7462s | to get into the lead here now can they |
7464s | capitalize can they follow up venom |
7466s | dueling on the barrier for now possible |
7468s | throwing down but looks like vulture |
7470s | violence able to get away from it or |
7471s | currently sleeping here's a |
7472s | transcendence now for the houston |
7474s | outlaws ultraviolet blowing up there and |
7477s | that bot's already been moving this |
7478s | whole time by the way |
7481s | yeah just a little bit further uh now |
7484s | for the atlanta rain they don't get to |
7486s | that uh no infamous butt scratch right |
7489s | so |
7489s | houston outlaws gonna try and |
7492s | get there here first is hawk back off |
7494s | spawn probably going to want to try and |
7496s | contest this as soon as possible do not |
7498s | want to give up the lead here |
7500s | both these teams fighting for |
7502s | incremental leads |
7504s | back and forth |
7506s | no pulse connection this time from |
7507s | pelican although dante looks to go |
7508s | deeper your wrist is taken down low the |
7510s | atlanta right now but a stave off |
7512s | for houston this is devastating they're |
7514s | in a position to really start to |
7515s | pressure and get an advantage with their |
7517s | attack |
7518s | it just collapses on itself |
7521s | yeah now atlanta will get going the |
7522s | other way and this is a scary moment |
7524s | here for the houston outlaws you're |
7526s | going to be coming up on this defense |
7528s | right before you know the infamous about |
7530s | scratch that first checkpoint unlocked |
7535s | you're going to have a nano boost |
7537s | available here and an overclock you lose |
7540s | this fight uh no this is going to get a |
7542s | significant amount of progress for the |
7544s | atlanta reigns that you may not be able |
7545s | to come back from |
7547s | dante and kai just fight to pick on |
7548s | aries this is all going wrong for |
7550s | houston the lead for atlanta is going to |
7552s | continue to increase and now we're under |
7554s | the two-minute mark and we've hit the uh |
7556s | uh we've hit the butt scratch because |
7558s | that's huge |
7559s | well and you can't fight here either |
7561s | right like if you could fight here for |
7563s | the houston outlaws stop it there we've |
7565s | seen games end in that type of capacity |
7567s | uh you're not able to kind of play |
7569s | defense here directly on that checkpoint |
7571s | so you're gonna get a forward spawn from |
7573s | hawk he'll be back a little bit sooner |
7575s | uh then oh |
7577s | normal |
7578s | jittering in his chair |
7581s | the barrier is still moving though like |
7583s | now we open it alone and yeah |
7585s | i feel like atlanta might have just |
7587s | gotten a free |
7588s | five to ten nieces there even in a |
7590s | losing scenario |
7593s | and because of the way you know they |
7594s | kind of win that fight they're in a spot |
7596s | where they get past that checkpoint uh |
7598s | that this is this is huge for houston |
7600s | this is the push all five ultimates |
7602s | obviously if you're the elena reign |
7604s | there's a good chance you have an idea |
7606s | that they have all these ultimates you |
7607s | want to take a fight early which is |
7609s | exactly what they're doing you want to |
7610s | take this fight early get some of these |
7611s | ultimates out and then play for a last |
7613s | second fight because the the bots are |
7615s | not going to move fast for the outlaws |
7616s | right because it has to stop at that |
7618s | checkpoint |
7619s | pelican tries to fly inside kai but it's |
7621s | him |
7622s | that falls foul of hawk |
7624s | pelican drop pork eventually going to go |
7626s | down here saw a 4v4 |
7628s | great pulse down dante as soon as he |
7630s | comes back down to earth reality hits |
7632s | hard |
7633s | and the atlanta rain are not going to |
7635s | allow houston to control it so now he |
7636s | should have the full scale retreat they |
7638s | have to group up for one interrupted |
7639s | push to win this it's all on the line |
7641s | here houston this has to be the push |
7645s | and they have |
7647s | four of the ultimates available |
7649s | atlanta does not want to push it much |
7651s | further than this right they don't want |
7652s | to run into the high ground because |
7654s | that's a fight they most likely lose |
7656s | and houston doesn't have to use anything |
7657s | for it is uh houston will have to get |
7660s | touch on the bot keep it moving |
7664s | said atlanta trying to build up to malt |
7665s | here |
7666s | hopes on the line here mid-season |
7668s | madness |
7670s | is in the air for the outlaws now it has |
7672s | to be an uninterrupted push if they want |
7674s | to stay alive and it's tournament that's |
7676s | a good start og falls belly good |
7678s | pressure and dante goes overhead both |
7680s | backliners to the atlanta reign are down |
7682s | so that's the first tick in the box for |
7684s | the outlaws but there's many more that |
7686s | must be satisfied |
7687s | uh and you only had to use the nanoboost |
7689s | there for the houston outlaw so that is |
7691s | massive only use the nano |
7694s | the bot is gonna hit the barrier here |
7696s | shortly uh and then you see at the top |
7698s | of the screen it's gonna stop now at |
7700s | that checkpoint it's gonna have to |
7701s | unlock that this is where maybe atlanta |
7703s | can make a play right if you can get kai |
7705s | up on that bridge with the overclock |
7707s | shooting down |
7709s | maybe that's where you can get a hold |
7710s | here get in the bus crash with a biotic |
7712s | grenade yep he backs away looking |
7714s | playing inside of his own disruptive |
7715s | shot |
7722s | outlaws looking to make magic again but |
7724s | kai ain't about that life last through |
7727s | the last one standing in overtime and |
7729s | two extended middle fingers won't be |
7730s | enough to keep the outlaws alive they're |
7732s | going home as the rain continue their |
7735s | lower bracket run |
7738s | so man what a play from kai comes around |
7741s | the corner with the overclock i was |
7743s | mentioning you can come from the high |
7744s | ground use that ability slides down |
7747s | connects with a few shots |
7750s | and that kind of seals the deal there |
7752s | for the atlanta reign as they stay alive |
7755s | in the tournament |
7756s | i mean more than just stay alive we talk |
7758s | about survival and that is on the line |
7760s | here but the atlanta right now starting |
7761s | to flourish a victory against the seoul |
7764s | dynasty and went all the way this time |
7766s | they handily dispatched the houston |
7768s | outlaws and let's not forget multiple |
7771s | houston picks are won by the atlanta |
7773s | reign and they're showing us that maybe |
7775s | maybe they're onto something hawk has |
7777s | played so many different tanks across |
7779s | this series and many times they've been |
7781s | able to exploit the outlaws lack of |
7783s | flexibility in that way the back line |
7786s | for the atlanta raid is showing that |
7788s | sort of you know incredible power they |
7790s | had in the first few weeks of this |
7792s | season returning to that height sort of |
7794s | og and ultraviolet phase this is |
7796s | incredible stuff in the atlantic rain |
7797s | and i got a feeling there well they're |
7799s | far from done |
7801s | yeah yeah i think that commitment to |
7802s | hawk and really giving him the time to |
7804s | play all these other tanks it's a huge |
7806s | difference for the atlanta reign not |
7809s | just uh overall in the season but in |
7811s | this series right you kind of see what |
7812s | houston has to do in terms of swapping |
7814s | out tanks trying to get the exact kind |
7816s | of composition they want uh and |
7818s | rightfully so because dante is so good |
7819s | on the doomfist and then piggy's so good |
7821s | on the sigma but man |
7823s | hawk was the player of the match today |
7826s | for all the things we just talked about |
7827s | being able to play the sigma play the |
7829s | winston the doomfist right uh diva right |
7832s | we saw so many different tanks from him |
7834s | today and he was a huge difference maker |
7836s | i mean i feel like on king's row there's |
7837s | almost a sense of inevitable |
7839s | inevitability whatever it was guaranteed |
7842s | that the atlanta reign were probably |
7843s | going to win that because of how they're |
7845s | able to exploit uh you know the opponent |
7847s | tank like hawks ever played whatever he |
7849s | likes you know the sigma looked huge |
7850s | even on attack he plays it and they |
7852s | sequentially take this space obviously |
7854s | returning to the doofus dog colosseum a |
7857s | great series incredible series here from |
7859s | hawk and we're continuing to understand |
7862s | now why it's so important for that one |
7864s | tank player to have so many options |
7867s | yeah it is |
7868s | it's something that i think a lot of |
7870s | teams are going to look at how atlanta |
7871s | handled this i know pretty early here in |
7873s | our season and i imagine they're going |
7876s | to try and copy some of this format |
7878s | right there's a nice break i know after |
7880s | this before we start our third |
7882s | tournament of the year uh where i think |
7884s | a lot of teams gonna look at their |
7885s | roster and say like is there one tank we |
7887s | can focus on who can play a lot of these |
7888s | different things because i know junker |
7891s | queen ray coming in like there's a lot |
7892s | of tanks now that they're going to be |
7893s | able to utilize and you want to utilize |
7896s | as many as possible map to out yeah |
7898s | fantastic result here for the rain the |
7899s | outlaws of course a bit to work on |
7901s | they're definitely sitting well within |
7903s | the pack but they need to break through |
7905s | later on in the year so they'll have a |
7906s | break now as matt mentioned we're gonna |
7908s | have one too i'm gonna learn how to say |
7910s | words while we go to the desk and help |
7911s | him wrap this one up of course we'll |
7912s | come back with our next very spicy badge |
7915s | after the break |
7920s | yeah i'm coming |
7921s | soon |

8198s | welcome to game break everybody i'm here |
8200s | joined now by hawk from atlanta rainhawk |
8202s | congratulations on the win and yeah |
8205s | apparently you're the the joke there's a |
8206s | there's a new term going around uh |
8209s | all among uh overwatch league tank |
8211s | players and it's a it's a joke yeah jack |
8213s | of all tanks jack of all tanks you just |
8216s | yeah jack of all tanks so i mean it's |
8218s | been going around the western players |
8219s | people calling everyone jokes but |
8221s | i guess today i had a flex i had to flex |
8223s | around the tank roll and you know jack |
8225s | of all tanks today is there is there a |
8226s | limit on like how many uh tank heroes |
8229s | you have to use in order to acquire that |
8231s | term uh i think it's mainly just having |
8234s | one tank like always in the lineup like |
8236s | if you're flexing around tanks then uh |
8238s | you're not a joke apparently but you are |
8240s | definitely a joke i guess i guess so you |
8242s | are a joke yes okay |
8244s | all right yeah i'm talking to the jolt |
8246s | of atlanta rain everybody oh yeah let's |
8249s | talk about this uh this match a little |
8250s | bit i mean i think you guys atlanta rain |
8252s | were very dominant this whole match but |
8254s | other than the first map oasis so what |
8256s | were some of the problems that you guys |
8258s | had in the first map and how are you |
8259s | able to turn things around at the end um |
8262s | the first map uh pelican was just taking |
8265s | a lot of space on genji just hit orb and |
8267s | he just like pretty much he was pretty |
8269s | much playing like a second tank just |
8270s | walking up and we just didn't poke them |
8271s | out that well but on the second third |
8273s | map we were able to abuse their uh their |
8276s | tank |
8277s | player that was in and um |
8279s | able to pretty much |
8281s | uh |
8282s | just worry about that he would have to |
8283s | go to echo and then we didn't worry |
8284s | about the echo so it's complicated but |
8286s | yeah sorry every time every time you |
8288s | talk about tank players now i just think |
8290s | about that joe turman |
8292s | sorry guys all right i mean we were |
8293s | talking a little bit about houston you |
8294s | were talking a little bit about houston |
8296s | uh i mean so my second question is |
8297s | actually about houston uh i mean |
8300s | how were the houston outlaws today in |
8302s | your perspective were they sort of |
8303s | better than uh your expectation um well |
8306s | last time we played them there was a |
8308s | complete tragedy what happened on uh in |
8310s | the well so um |
8313s | yeah yeah |
8314s | so uh |
8316s | the comics they're slow team they like |
8317s | to play very slow and um |
8320s | it's it's a different environment here |
8322s | everyone's face to face and uh it's also |
8324s | tournament so you get to pick your map |
8326s | and um |
8328s | yeah just a different environment if you |
8329s | get to pick your map and we just want |
8330s | our map so yeah yeah and you guys did a |
8333s | great job and last but not least uh |
8335s | apparently |
8336s | your next match is going to be up |
8337s | against either san francisco shock or |
8338s | the shanghai dragons the loser of that |
8340s | match will be going up against the |
8341s | atlanta reign uh who would you want to |
8343s | see in your as a next opponent um |
8347s | would i want to see i'd rather see shock |
8348s | but i |
8349s | think we might see shanghai because i'm |
8352s | not sure yet though we'll see how it |
8353s | goes but uh |
8355s | i think we might see shanghai why why do |
8358s | you want to go up against shock i mean |
8360s | we were pretty much up against them in |
8362s | tournaments and uh you know happened |
8364s | last year in grand finals so and now but |
8366s | it's a different game so anything that |
8367s | happened a little bit a little bit of |
8369s | revenge that little revenge on both ends |
8372s | all right well hawk that is it for the |
8373s | interview thank you so much uh for your |
8374s | time and again big congratulations on |
8376s | the win with that being said let's go |
8378s | back to the desk away take away take it |
8380s | away |
8384s | thank you so much danny and hawk the |
8386s | joke is this a term that this is a new |
8388s | one this is that |
8389s | yeah it's a new one coming around we're |
8391s | making history here exactly yeah right |
8393s | you called me the boat back in my day |
8395s | what's that i don't know i haven't |
8396s | figured out yet |
8398s | someone else may have figured out |
8399s | everyone guess what that could possibly |
8401s | be in the chat because i don't know what |
8403s | it is so hopefully the chat is a little |
8405s | bit more uh in june |
8407s | the pot i don't know man are you |
8410s | pointing out i'm gonna call you the |
8411s | point from now on |
8413s | this can go on for what does it mean |
8417s | but again congratulations to the atlanta |
8419s | three and one over the houston outlaws |
8421s | destroying my predictions i believe |
8422s | yours as well you predicted that yes you |
8425s | predicted them though i am dominating |
8428s | because of this tournament yeah no i've |
8430s | gotten a little spot i think it's you i |
8431s | think you're the problem you are rubbing |
8433s | off on me the analytical person is so |
8435s | converted to predict this would have |
8437s | been atlanta like |
8438s | is always better in the playoffs houston |
8440s | always kind of struggled but you i don't |
8443s | know |
8444s | i was think i was looking at like the |
8445s | bigger picture because atlanta rain they |
8446s | were the last |
8448s | match yesterday they could be a little |
8450s | bit tired they're on hawaii time a |
8452s | little bit of relaxation and then to be |
8454s | the first game the next morning that's a |
8457s | pretty quick turnaround johnny it's a |
8458s | pretty quick turnaround |
8460s | but it didn't matter because stuff |
8461s | because atlanta rain are just that much |
8463s | better in this one uh no for real though |
8466s | like these are pretty too evil teams |
8468s | then i mean i think it was a bit of a |
8469s | coin flip going into it i started with |
8471s | the atlanta rain because like purely |
8473s | historical narratives really i mean |
8475s | they've been the better team so far this |
8477s | season in general houston outlaws |
8479s | they've struggled to get over these kind |
8481s | of playoffs humps so far and i do feel |
8483s | like we've seen a couple of standout |
8485s | players for the atlanta reign kai didn't |
8487s | even have the greatest of games in this |
8490s | one specifically and i'd say it was one |
8492s | of the weakest players honestly the way |
8493s | kai got picked many times but |
8495s | ultraviolet even yesterday the way he |
8498s | impacted the game with his sleeps with |
8499s | his violence og is finding picks on the |
8501s | senate hawk as well the flexibility as |
8504s | they talked about he's been impressive |
8506s | on so many different heroes but the |
8507s | venom venom specifically |
8510s | has been a standout player on this |
8512s | tracer and in many ways stepped up from |
8514s | his regular season performances and this |
8516s | is a rookie keep in mind i think venom |
8518s | is having a bit of a breakout |
8520s | performance here in this very tournament |
8521s | they're starting to make a name for |
8522s | themselves uh crucial pulse bombs |
8524s | crucial picks here in the duels and even |
8526s | though pelican isn't the strongest racer |
8528s | player i feel like venom is very much in |
8530s | charge of the game he's not put on the |
8532s | back foot he's not trying to peel off |
8534s | for his team he's going aggressive he's |
8536s | aggressively finding picks he's being |
8537s | proactive these are great traits for a |
8540s | tracer player so liking what i'm seeing |
8541s | from venom and if he can keep up this |
8543s | momentum that's going to be a huge boon |
8545s | for that mountain range rest of the |
8546s | tournament yeah on the other hand though |
8547s | the houston outlaws their woes continue |
8549s | in the playoffs they literally a mirror |
8551s | matchup of what happened in the kickoff |
8553s | clash they go to the lore bracket early |
8556s | they beat the toronto defiant only to |
8557s | lose in the next round and you know i i |
8560s | there's a couple of things that really |
8561s | stood out to me in this match is lastro |
8564s | i understand that the flanking has |
8566s | catches people off guard but the atlanta |
8568s | reign was so ready for this and he was |
8569s | punished time and time again and it just |
8572s | felt like they were just kind of relying |
8574s | on individual performances rather than |
8576s | playing as a team and you could see that |
8578s | in their ultimate usage but bringing it |
8580s | back around the venom i completely agree |
8582s | venom on this tracer has been |
8584s | exceptional so far not just in these |
8586s | matches but over the entirety of the |
8588s | season and you can understand why he is |
8590s | playing over a great player like nero |
8592s | just on this tracer so excited to see |
8595s | more from him you know |
8596s | we just heard they're going up against |
8598s | the shanghai dragon |
8599s | or the san francisco neither of those |
8601s | teams are going to be easy so i'm |
8603s | excited to see how long this atlanta |
8605s | rain run can go in the playoffs because |
8607s | you know you're new here but they do it |
8609s | every single time like literally they |
8611s | did it in the 2021 finals like this team |
8613s | they went to the grand finals no one |
8615s | expected them that no one did a kickoff |
8617s | clash they did the same thing again so |
8618s | i'm curious to see where the train is |
8620s | going to stop definitely we'll see if it |
8621s | just keeps on a chug in but with that |
8624s | game come to a conclusion let's go ahead |
8625s | and take a look at our updated lower |
8627s | brackets |
8629s | and you know as you said atlanta rain |
8630s | going to move on take on either the |
8632s | shock or the dragons i believe he said |
8634s | that he preferred to try to take on the |
8636s | shock but probably could see the dragons |
8638s | as well there was the atlanta rain |
8639s | moving on uh and then we will see the |
8641s | philadelphia fusion take on florida |
8644s | mayhem that's going to be our next match |
8646s | so gentlemen going into there you know |
8647s | that i'm biased you know i'm a fusion |
8649s | fan i predicted them you predicted |
8651s | fusion |
8652s | yeah we all predicted fusion so we're |
8655s | all in agreement there's no analysis |
8657s | that we need to jump into |
8659s | i'm just playing the game |
8661s | going into this match what are your |
8662s | anticipations |
8664s | yeah i i for me i don't know i can't |
8665s | speak for johnny philadelphia fusion |
8667s | they haven't been the most impressive |
8669s | team in this tournament but the |
8670s | philadelphia sorry the florida mayhem |
8672s | were lucky to come out of yesterday's |
8673s | match reverse weeping the london |
8675s | spitfire they did start to have that |
8677s | sort of realization and someone said |
8679s | that in his interview if we lose this |
8680s | match we're going home and they sort of |
8682s | flipped that switch someone xe checkmate |
8685s | really sort of hit a fifth gear and they |
8687s | started coming through if they are going |
8688s | to beat the fusion they need to start in |
8690s | 5th year they need to be coming out and |
8692s | relying on that dive and that hitscan of |
8694s | hexy yeah i mean florida mayhem so far |
8696s | i've said it many times already now that |
8698s | the past couple of days i like the |
8700s | compositions that florida man were |
8701s | bringing out i like the playstyle they |
8703s | have got going but the philadelphia |
8705s | fusion i mean i i think their individual |
8707s | skill is just so ridiculously high um |
8711s | mm3 of course had a bit of a break-up |
8712s | performance against seoul dynasty we |
8714s | just like you know made waves like |
8716s | really everyone was just like wow mm3 he |
8718s | popped off in such a dramatic way cest |
8721s | has been like a consistent carry |
8723s | performer for the fusion so that's a |
8724s | great damage to you you got already fury |
8727s | is one of the best tanks of all time on |
8729s | the philadelphia fusion as well and |
8730s | belas ria he's had some nice wrecking |
8732s | ball tech you know navigating around the |
8734s | map so the philadelphia fusion i feel |
8736s | like |
8737s | they have this rookie roster you know a |
8739s | bit inexperienced they did have a nice |
8741s | kick of clash run but really in these |
8743s | global tournaments like the fusion they |
8745s | could really impress people here and you |
8748s | know |
8748s | elevate their reputation a little bit |
8750s | because i do think that people think of |
8752s | them as a bit of you know a middling |
8753s | kind of team and they could really like |
8756s | make a name for themselves and really |
8757s | elevate that to a top tier contender |
8759s | yeah for me as well with philly i i this |
8762s | match isn't as much of are they going to |
8763s | win it or they're going to lose it i'm |
8765s | curious to see the form that they're in |
8766s | are they going to be firing are their |
8768s | individual performances going to be up |
8769s | there because how far can they go |
8771s | they're a team that always does seem to |
8772s | show up in the playoffs and they can |
8774s | just like all of a sudden just be like |
8775s | if zest mn3 aim god all start hitting |
8778s | peak performances they can start |
8780s | knocking out teams that we wouldn't |
8781s | expect to be knocked out by them so i'm |
8783s | really just sort of getting a vibe check |
8785s | and if they get knocked out then you |
8786s | know that's the vibe right there they're |
8788s | not going to be very good really quick |
8790s | i'm going to add on top of the |
8791s | predictions i think they're going to go |
8792s | 3-0 for fusion i i think they're gonna |
8795s | go through as well i think they're gonna |
8796s | come out firing and i i expect fusion to |
8799s | hit that fifth year uh i'm gonna go with |
8801s | a 3-2 for the fusion error oh you think |
8803s | they i think i think florida mayhem have |
8805s | some good stuff off their sleeve you |
8806s | can't underestimate someone's |
8808s | flexibility on the tank roll like even |
8810s | bringing out some reinhardt stuff that |
8811s | could be a good matchup for the florida |
8813s | mayhem so i like the strategies and |
8815s | compositions from the mayhem so maybe |
8816s | they can you know catch |
8818s | not lose anymore just don't play losers |
8823s | you're gonna break poor reinforces heart |
8825s | but spicy predictions hopefully going to |
8827s | lead us into a even spicier match |
8829s | everyone we're going to be taking a |
8830s | quick break but don't go anywhere |
8832s | because when we come back we're going to |
8833s | see florida take on the philadelphia |
8835s | fusion |

9081s | our second match of the day features |
9083s | another lower bracket head-to-head |
9085s | between two teams that used to play |
9086s | pretty frequently now it's been quite a |
9089s | while matt what ties both the florida |
9092s | mayhem the philadelphia fusion together |
9093s | is that both teams that turned up but |
9095s | they could kick off clash and there was |
9096s | some hype about that early on they |
9098s | suffered at the kickoff clash in their |
9099s | respective regions and they've been |
9101s | trying to rebuild some form since then |
9103s | on the florida mayhem side right we're |
9105s | very excited about their new support |
9106s | line seeing how hydra fits in maxie were |
9108s | waiting on him to see and come into the |
9110s | roster on the philadelphia side of |
9111s | things there was absolutely a honeymoon |
9113s | period with this rookie laden team but |
9116s | getting back in the kickoff clash |
9118s | they're still looking for the glory that |
9119s | seemed within arms reach at the end of |
9122s | that first tournament and they're gonna |
9123s | have to get through the mayhem to keep |
9125s | going |
9127s | i think for |
9128s | philadelphia like they have the higher |
9130s | ceiling of the two teams right like if |
9132s | you were to look at just kind of like |
9134s | skill across the board like kind of |
9135s | where they could potentially go as a |
9138s | team i think you would definitely say |
9139s | the philadelphia fusion i know if |
9141s | everything goes right they could you |
9143s | know find themselves up there with some |
9144s | of the best in the league uh florida |
9147s | mayhem i think what you're looking for |
9148s | going into this match is that like |
9150s | they're not just like content with |
9152s | yesterday's result then it's like oh |
9154s | yeah we we reverse we blunden we're |
9156s | still in like that's great like you know |
9158s | a win like that can almost feel like |
9160s | you've just like you kind of completed |
9162s | your mission and you're just done uh |
9165s | where it could be a little bit hard to |
9166s | kind of get up into like game |
9169s | form today so i think looking at how |
9171s | florida mayhem starts uh that's what i'm |
9173s | looking at in this series well speaking |
9175s | of that matthew we got our starting |
9177s | lineup here for the mayhem featuring |
9179s | rupal alongside sir margins so we're |
9181s | expecting to see uh potential double |
9183s | flex support action we've seen so much |
9184s | it on the lucio before we've seen it on |
9186s | illios before as well it's incredibly |
9189s | aggressive not unlike super margins |
9192s | every other hero to be honest with you |
9194s | matt xe is the superstar uh of this |
9197s | mayhem team after what we saw against |
9199s | the london spitfire what a reverse sweep |
9202s | an incredible back end of that series |
9204s | from the mayhem and xe was the one that |
9206s | really put uh i feel the spitfire bet in |
9209s | those last couple of maps this team is |
9210s | riding a hype but it was a long day |
9213s | yesterday yeah absolutely i think xe has |
9216s | definitely |
9217s | made a huge impact since coming over and |
9220s | joining the florida mayhem |
9222s | uh |
9222s | it's a little bit unfortunate i think |
9224s | hydro is actually playing quite well but |
9225s | i think when you have a player like xc |
9227s | and you're able to get your |
9229s | hands on a a player that before he kind |
9231s | of uh retired took a break uh whatever |
9234s | you want to call like due to injury um |
9236s | he was one of the best hitscans in the |
9238s | league so being able to acquire him is |
9240s | huge uh philly we can take a look at |
9242s | their starting lineup coming into today |
9245s | and like the desk mentioned i think the |
9247s | sky is the limit for this team uh you |
9250s | know mn3 we've seen what he's been able |
9252s | to do i know aim god really you know |
9254s | with uh what carpe and fury like the |
9255s | veterans of this squad uh |
9258s | but if if they can get everything |
9260s | clicking and i think use this tournament |
9262s | you know maybe you get past florida here |
9265s | maybe you can even give the next |
9266s | opponent right you know you come in play |
9267s | well run for their money uh you start to |
9271s | i think scott's it like kind of just |
9272s | like make more of a name for yourself |
9274s | but i think just more give your team |
9276s | confidence that you can contend with |
9278s | those top teams and build even further |
9281s | right going into the future with this |
9282s | squad will you talk about this philly |
9284s | fusion roster having a high ceiling but |
9286s | the question for this team is how long |
9288s | can they operate at that level for the |
9290s | issue for them is that consistency right |
9292s | such an explosive start in the league |
9294s | they slowed down in a big way sort of |
9296s | following that into the kickoff clash |
9297s | finals but this is the team that is you |
9299s | know it's it's a couple veterans like |
9300s | you mentioned surrounded by these |
9302s | rookies here it's gonna be aim god |
9304s | obviously being the old head in this |
9306s | permutation of the roster with bella's |
9307s | rear coming in and playing uh main tank |
9309s | here or other tank i've got to say |
9311s | though mn3 and zest there's a reason why |
9313s | everyone's talking about them at first |
9315s | it was zest it was the genji and later |
9317s | the tracer play that really uh really |
9319s | excited us this comes in to the |
9321s | mid-season madness tournament tied for |
9323s | first on solo kills per 10 as tracer |
9326s | pretty important we see a lot of teams |
9328s | just try and have their traces without |
9330s | support go and try and hit these back |
9331s | lines hard and it's so hard to get those |
9334s | solo kills now with zenyatta being as |
9335s | powerful as he is zest is overcoming |
9337s | that particular issue in a lot of |
9340s | situations so it's a real boon to the |
9341s | fusion when he can get rolling in that |
9343s | way the team's really exciting uh but |
9346s | again people are not really sure where |
9347s | to put them i went against the dallas |
9349s | fuel though dallas looking a little bit |
9351s | weaker in this current meta game to be |
9353s | fair but that's still a huge patch to |
9355s | put on their shoulder as they try to |
9357s | advance here through this lower bracket |
9359s | it's still a huge win i know it del |
9362s | i guess like an unoptimal meta or an |
9364s | ideal meta for the dallas fuel uh |
9366s | they're still a very talented they'll |
9369s | still be on a lot of teams uh in that |
9371s | state and uh you can see this uh |
9373s | tracer's stats so far this season uh |
9376s | very impressive all around uh in terms |
9378s | of it really just kind of in the top |
9381s | what seven across everything pretty much |
9384s | uh |
9385s | top half of the league that's really |
9386s | impressive to kick off the season yeah |
9388s | and i think that now in a 5v5 format |
9391s | those solo kills are something you |
9392s | really can't rely on right especially |
9395s | with back lines you know starting to get |
9397s | patched in such a way that they become a |
9398s | little bit more self-sufficient so being |
9400s | like i said being able to achieve those |
9402s | these are the stats that matter right |
9403s | pulse one kills awesome is you know is |
9405s | pretty important but again if you have a |
9406s | player that can truly be a low economy |
9409s | high impact individual it releases |
9411s | reduces the pressure on your team in |
9413s | other areas of their game that's |
9415s | something to keep an eye on here as we |
9417s | you know want to see more from zesters |
9418s | this team really needs someone to push |
9421s | them over the line here the desk says |
9424s | they expect a 3-0 uh between the fusion |
9426s | to make him here that's pretty high |
9428s | praise for philly when they had their |
9430s | shakiness as well |
9432s | well i think if you are |
9435s | the florida mayhem and you come into |
9437s | this series expecting to just you know |
9439s | whoa |
9440s | maybe we'll kick it off you know |
9442s | and fall down too low and then you kind |
9444s | of like wake up say i don't know if |
9446s | you're going to be able to |
9448s | do that against this philadelphia fusion |
9450s | team right |
9451s | uh you're able to get by the london |
9453s | spitfire with it but philadelphia it |
9455s | just has a lot more firepower right i |
9457s | imagine you know if they're clicking to |
9459s | the point they're up too oh they're |
9460s | going to put you to sleep |
9461s | the bellas rear wrecking ball something |
9463s | we're seeing more of lately has been a |
9464s | pretty good look for philly fusion and |
9466s | mm3 if he comes out on that ash |
9468s | obviously one of the sort of earlier |
9470s | adopters of that pick in that eastern |
9471s | region we always talk about how we |
9472s | really see in the west uh definitely was |
9475s | it was incubated in that in the eastern |
9477s | region and m3 one of the core proponents |
9480s | of that pick if we get an xc widow |
9482s | though that's going to make this pretty |
9483s | spicy because i mean mm3 has some of the |
9486s | best widow stats in the entire league |
9488s | and it's not particularly close so |
9490s | that'll be fun if we get that but out of |
9491s | the gates here on elio someone will be |
9493s | on the wrecking ball the back line of |
9495s | rupaul and sir major here but i think |
9496s | it's interesting we've actually got brig |
9498s | zen for philly |
9500s | yeah he brings in has been pretty |
9502s | popular with the wrecking ball uh in |
9504s | combination so you have the harmony orb |
9507s | at range for the wrecking ball you can |
9509s | also kind of protect some of these |
9511s | players in the back uh with the brig but |
9514s | surma jet finds an early pick off okay |
9516s | both teams able to get key eliminations |
9518s | on the superstars of |
9520s | either side i'm in the fusion that move |
9522s | up to try and set up on the point here |
9524s | velocira wants to try and pressure |
9526s | margins direction |
9528s | yeah he's in trouble here they're very |
9530s | my mind very aggressive zen play but |
9531s | also both sort of highest deaths per 10 |
9533s | in the league because of that play style |
9534s | so it's a double double-edged sword here |
9536s | from belazaria he takes that one |
9537s | upstairs |
9539s | yeah it makes it look easy getting up |
9541s | there to the high ground as he's gonna |
9543s | chase uh xe as well |
9545s | doesn't want to give that |
9546s | widowmaker any sight lines it'll be the |
9548s | philadelphia fusion getting in control |
9550s | first the wrecking ball also really good |
9552s | against the widowmaker right uh being |
9554s | able to just |
9555s | constantly put pressure on dexy |
9560s | like immaculate |
9561s | bone structure and aim |
9563s | for rexy but getting around the wrecking |
9565s | ball in his face is |
9567s | no mean feat for even |
9568s | the greatest of our hit scan players in |
9570s | the league and nxt is trying to |
9572s | he's trying to worm his way around a |
9574s | little bit here oh my mn3 gets a free |
9577s | haircut he didn't he didn't want that |
9578s | one that's what happened |
9580s | yeah he was he was i think looking at |
9582s | the brig maybe for a second the brick |
9584s | shield went down and mn3 just kind of |
9586s | walked right into that one |
9588s | absolutely nice job there yeah you see |
9591s | zesty you know through the outline right |
9593s | just kind of |
9594s | holding in that position allowing bella |
9596s | tree to come from the side and put down |
9597s | some damage and look at how much they're |
9599s | trying to get xc out of the way yeah i |
9601s | mean execon i mean he struggles to do |
9603s | much from this position right that's so |
9604s | close recall there from zestimate |
9606s | through pressuring no grapple available |
9609s | and bella sorry sings them over the edge |
9610s | of the font farewell |
9611s | getting rid of some of these proximity |
9613s | mines here is remember it's the mayhem |
9614s | who flipped the point back and forth |
9615s | relax the background to get the thing |
9618s | done freebie on rupaul though and hang |
9620s | on philly are back on the point |
9622s | yeah a little bit of a cross mapper |
9624s | there |
9626s | not able to stay alive uh |
9629s | it's like what is it like a modern |
9631s | warfare where you throw the tomahawk up |
9633s | yeah |
9637s | yeah |
9638s | it's kind of like murdered them right |
9639s | yeah it's more of that |
9641s | all right xc with the infrasight he |
9643s | would love to handle mn3 and three knows |
9645s | he can't contend a long long range here |
9648s | with xc |
9649s | but the the latter is forced to place in |
9651s | these awkward close angles while he's |
9652s | under duress from the wrecking ball and |
9654s | such |
9656s | zest versus checkmate here |
9658s | [Music] |
9659s | zest forced away the pack |
9662s | a little too far off but i ain't got |
9663s | opens up the account nicely here without |
9664s | bella's rear the philly fusion |
9666s | just gonna try and get aggressive with |
9667s | their dps there and that oh my okay |
9669s | immortality feel forced there from |
9671s | rupaul i think you're happy enough with |
9672s | that here as the mayhem can't play on |
9674s | the point they can't get to the point |
9676s | with immortality they use it already not |
9678s | a good sign |
9679s | yeah name god has the transcendence in |
9681s | case they just kind of jump onto the |
9683s | point start a brawl someone will try and |
9685s | contest there yup he'll get it for a |
9687s | second now he's gonna get stunned and |
9689s | knocked out of that animation again |
9690s | bella's real ryan x his face forces him |
9692s | away marcia decides to try and come to |
9694s | the rescue with the transcendence i'm |
9695s | sure he keeps the widow in the fight but |
9697s | what else can they make him achieve with |
9698s | that ultimate someone can't even be kept |
9700s | alive but that's a big problem checkmate |
9702s | kind of lifts the pulse bomb there |
9704s | nothing doing in there's an immortality |
9705s | field in play but it's looking a little |
9706s | bit lonely nobody's basking in those |
9708s | rays margin eventually is removed and |
9710s | the philadelphia fusion |
9712s | really kicked the pace up a notch zest |
9714s | is limbering up for what may be a spicy |
9716s | series |
9718s | i was gonna say they had no answer for |
9720s | zest there early is |
9722s | he is able to just cause havoc for the |
9725s | supports of the florida mayhem |
9728s | so even though like are you playing the |
9730s | widowmaker there too so not like any a |
9732s | ton of like dps help like checkmate can |
9734s | kind of try and shadow him a little bit |
9736s | but |
9737s | man that is uh tough to deal with if |
9739s | you're in florida we'll see how they |
9740s | handle it here going into well |
9743s | so here's rupaul taking a elegant swan |
9746s | dive |
9747s | onto a bed of spikes |
9752s | yeah |
9753s | okay |
9755s | unlucky for rupaul they're not able to |
9756s | clear the way for himself before he |
9758s | dropped down had other things to worry |
9759s | about dog is unamused by that yeah hugo |
9762s | not a fan yeah |
9764s | yeah hugo is not a fan you tell him yeah |
9766s | you tell him |
9768s | it's a big fusion 3-0 believer so you |
9770s | can go on a walk |
9773s | close running matt is at home alone with |
9775s | the dog so much responsibility for this |
9776s | man still finds time to chop it up with |
9778s | me on the cast |
9780s | axis oh man he's feeling the pressure |
9782s | hey well you know what we tried to get |
9784s | everybody else to work with you but i'm |
9786s | the only one who will do it |
9798s | like |
9800s | basically instantly so like this is a |
9801s | really good start for florida right like |
9803s | as a bounce back maybe a little bit of a |
9804s | wake-up call in that first round |
9808s | yeah i could open it for them they i |
9809s | mean xc was so low on the high ground |
9811s | bella three was making good inroads |
9814s | they won't take the point now |
9815s | philadelphia is like kind of coming back |
9817s | and |
9818s | well yeah a lot of that fights were like |
9820s | happening off of the point nobody |
9821s | actually takes it there i don't want to |
9822s | cast the curse this again matt but we |
9824s | discussed this last time it could be |
9825s | hard to get like a complete cap on this |
9827s | point when there's a couple players |
9828s | still standing portraying ellen proves |
9830s | us wrong there this time |
9832s | so philly gets demonstrated back in the |
9834s | fight |
9835s | like you really need |
9837s | you know like three on threes especially |
9839s | with like howl mobile and survivability |
9841s | uh being huge for some of the heroes |
9843s | that are played in these compositions |
9845s | like even a three on three is probably |
9847s | not good enough to you know be able to |
9849s | or even like a four on three good enough |
9850s | to flip the point right i know tracer |
9853s | immortality field uh you know the |
9855s | ability to just roll on his wrecking |
9856s | ball roll off like a recall right like |
9860s | there's so many different things that |
9861s | you can just stall this out for |
9862s | teammates to get back |
9864s | you really need to pick up a few kills |
9866s | uh he sees me in the corner here pulse |
9868s | now he can recall out of that he knows |
9869s | his opponent will recall the same |
9871s | location though yeah zest debt to rights |
9873s | there got spotted out early by checkmate |
9875s | still a decent lead for philadelphia and |
9877s | four players to maintain this stall with |
9879s | but they're going to wrap around and aim |
9880s | god's direction here nobody mn3 is close |
9882s | by with bob available the transcendence |
9884s | is gonna be forced here here goes ain't |
9886s | got trying to support bella sorea in his |
9888s | attempt to pressure that background and |
9890s | he does force the transcendence from |
9891s | margie but elsewhere mn3 is filled by |
9894s | axi across the map philly now might be |
9896s | in store protocol |
9899s | yeah as we'll see so two players on the |
9901s | point here for philly they're gonna drop |
9903s | their ant matrix here is uh not able to |
9905s | get anything out of that as maybe they |
9907s | thought they can still fight it but zest |
9908s | you see this recall you know able to |
9910s | dive around a little bit that's gonna |
9911s | buy about i know five to eight percent |
9914s | so 72 for philadelphia fusion right off |
9917s | the rip they end up using a lot there |
9919s | towards the end i mean they use the |
9920s | transcendence in the minefield and then |
9922s | they also threw the ant matrix in |
9924s | from fix it after that so |
9927s | just to let the bob to work with here i |
9929s | mean bob's not there's no sleep right uh |
9932s | but bob you can just burn him down |
9933s | pretty quick |
9935s | plenty of opportunities to lose him |
9937s | unless he's placed in a particularly |
9938s | obnoxious place on point here's the ball |
9940s | from both sides transcendence okay |
9942s | immortality feel from fixer there living |
9944s | up to his name that could have been |
9945s | dangerous for the fusion mn3's bob |
9948s | though is summarily dispatched |
9951s | now the fighting will occur probably in |
9952s | that sort of low room on the left-hand |
9953s | side as zest is on the creep |
9957s | thanks now to vex his position so margin |
9959s | might be a tasty morsel here with a |
9961s | pulse |
9962s | remember zest has a extremely solid |
9965s | pulse bomb kill ratio and that's the |
9966s | stick he's looking for plus l plus |
9968s | didn't ask |
9969s | actually back to spawn now |
9971s | someone getting pressured a little bit |
9973s | but philly's still not in control yet |
9974s | and they may have managed to build up |
9976s | over 50 percent |
9978s | who is checking this pulse bomb doesn't |
9980s | connect oh someone's trying to roll good |
9982s | but doesn't get the contest yeah so it |
9984s | will flip to the fusion you still have a |
9986s | few players here split for the florida |
9988s | mayhem where they got to come up with |
9989s | kills here they got to go big |
9992s | margin |
9993s | okay that aggressive play style that's |
9995s | exactly what we want from him right now |
9997s | philly did flip the point back though so |
9999s | florida lose the chance to extend their |
10000s | lead in a winning fight |
10002s | drawn out as it may have been |
10005s | someone |
10006s | well that's a haitian pancake |
10009s | i gotta say the the the kills here for |
10011s | marchette was huge because if he doesn't |
10014s | come up with those two no you're at like |
10016s | 80 plus percent you have a few players |
10018s | still lingering around you lose those |
10020s | players like your last fight territory |
10021s | here for florida mayhem and it does not |
10023s | look good in that scenario so those two |
10026s | kills for surma jet huge |
10029s | someone hoping to continue to pressure |
10031s | here |
10032s | a lot of health on that wrecking ball |
10034s | but i ain't got opens up the account as |
10036s | xc down both ash players struggling here |
10038s | to have a real big impact |
10040s | he's called on balance for him but also |
10041s | someone who still goes forward despite |
10043s | that the transcendence comes in just a |
10045s | little too late from marjet still though |
10048s | the backlines are doing their job mn3 is |
10050s | brought down here florida still control |
10052s | the point |
10053s | and philly don't look any closer to |
10054s | taking it back ain't got to have the |
10056s | transcendence here now can they turn |
10057s | that into a kill opportunity on margin |
10059s | the immortality field from rupaul is |
10060s | gone and so margin tries to back off but |
10062s | fix it won't let him get away bellatria |
10065s | hopes to flip here and he gets it the |
10067s | minefield assisting with that and |
10068s | someone had his eyes turned elsewhere |
10070s | mn3 is back in the fight but philly have |
10072s | control they can go to 99 themselves now |
10076s | yeah and you've lost someone and you've |
10077s | lost checkmate so who's gonna stall it's |
10078s | gonna be bob as he runs right into |
10080s | another bob and gets pushed back bumpy |
10082s | bob action you'll have to see it but |
10084s | crucially it's still filling with |
10086s | control right now |
10088s | checkmate's looking for a location for |
10090s | this pulse bombers rupaul's the |
10091s | mortality field is removed but he was |
10092s | able to get the wrecking ball with that |
10094s | timer checkmate sticks it mn3 forced to |
10097s | tip the king is he'll continue to |
10099s | pressure this back line further this is |
10101s | good looks to the mayhem and now xc gets |
10103s | involved in a big way |
10105s | tracer stalls for just a moment but what |
10107s | can zest do not a lot we've gotta even |
10110s | game here only leos |
10114s | fbi every time we're on with a tracer |
10115s | it's just a pulse bomb that |
10118s | connects with these ashes for both teams |
10121s | it's uh i feel like you know xc and mn3 |
10123s | it's been a little bit of a rough go to |
10125s | start things off right uh you know how |
10127s | much pressure they're under the wrecking |
10129s | balls the tracers in the mix right |
10131s | that's |
10132s | really difficult because you know |
10133s | actually picks up a few at the end but |
10134s | this is where i think the game turned uh |
10136s | because you look at the type of |
10137s | situation they're in they're down there |
10139s | tracer the point just flips over you |
10142s | have players all over the place and yeah |
10144s | i mean those are two sick kills |
10146s | so madrid leads his team seven final |
10149s | blows to his name on that zen |
10152s | very much a third dps just when the |
10154s | mayhem needed him much |
10158s | he really does play like a third dps i |
10160s | mean you talk about a progression right |
10161s | we see like last show in the last series |
10163s | gonna go on some of these blanks and |
10164s | take these off angles uh you don't see |
10167s | the same type of like flanks from the |
10168s | surmajit but you do see him take lots of |
10171s | fights and be very aggressive in terms |
10173s | of uh you know chasing down kills and |
10176s | not being afraid to duel out with some |
10177s | dps yeah like look at this so like he's |
10179s | not flanking oh man but he's taking |
10181s | aggressive sight light so trying to give |
10183s | himself kills yeah at longer ranges xe |
10186s | okay |
10187s | barely able to stay alive bella freya |
10189s | says okay that's an immortality field |
10190s | i'll take that |
10191s | oh dear that's gonna have to be a recall |
10194s | good is causing so many problems here |
10195s | for the makeup and they've got to do |
10197s | something about bellatria |
10199s | yeah i was gonna say he is getting so |
10200s | close to getting like an environmental |
10202s | kill but while he's doing that someone's |
10204s | serving and i believe checkmate push on |
10206s | forward and they're able to get two |
10208s | players so now that you don't have the |
10210s | point for philadelphia this is going to |
10211s | be an advantage for the florida mayhem |
10213s | and they should be able to get control |
10214s | first i mean you're gonna be so |
10215s | frustrated if you're bella three are |
10217s | here for the fusion you really you cause |
10219s | a lot of disruption make it hard for the |
10220s | mayhem to execute their plans but the |
10222s | rest of your team gets flattened at |
10224s | range no less |
10231s | for philly now how do you try and |
10233s | approach this you want to try and take |
10234s | some of the high ground as you see |
10236s | fellas three and zest up here they tried |
10238s | this earlier though it didn't work oh |
10240s | it's gonna be some legit with a pick |
10242s | long range on m3 it's a lot of damage |
10244s | out of the way with the ash another pick |
10245s | from sir majid here early in the fight |
10247s | these are first picks |
10248s | continuing to lead the way for the rest |
10250s | of his team so below tries to shut down |
10252s | that amplification matrix there to some |
10254s | degree it works but so marcia's not |
10256s | using it he's playing elsewhere |
10259s | no and having a zen who can play |
10263s | this offensive i know and damage dealing |
10265s | focus and being able to come up with |
10267s | some huge pick-offs especially first |
10268s | picks to game changers uh fellas real |
10271s | dropped the minefield on the point over |
10273s | towards the florida mayhem side so we |
10274s | have pulse bomb that connects right bus |
10276s | down philadelphia they know it's dire |
10279s | they had to get so much i mean yeah no |
10281s | team no philly no no one else knows how |
10282s | to play against a third dps like this i |
10285s | don't know how anybody is supposed to |
10287s | deal with this fix of those able to get |
10288s | his opposite number across the map here |
10290s | there's a duel between zest and xc the |
10292s | latter who is very very low and that |
10293s | discord on someone makes him an easy |
10295s | mark but bob comes bustling in all of |
10297s | the point |
10299s | and now i'm not going to be able to take |
10300s | this minefields plus bob on the point |
10303s | how do you get in there and make a play |
10304s | after the philadelphia fusion the |
10306s | florida mayhem you know after that first |
10308s | point they bounced back in a big way |
10311s | really kind of dominating here in |
10312s | lighthouse |
10314s | so far it's been an absolute shutout in |
10316s | this third round |
10317s | fellas three are under pressure |
10320s | fix it keeps him topped up but again xc |
10321s | wins the duel he beats mm3 man to man |
10324s | like the third fourth time in this round |
10326s | maybe who's counting it doesn't matter |
10327s | to make him the only number they care |
10329s | about is the one at the top it's 98 and |
10331s | it's going up someone eventually goes |
10333s | down but he's able to get fixer for his |
10334s | troubles here would be checkmate trying |
10336s | to stay zest off at the point a bit of a |
10338s | tracer duel here and they're going to be |
10339s | a recall force from zest that means this |
10342s | overtime gets precariously low zest has |
10344s | to now stand and deliver without that |
10345s | defensive cooldown and a discord orb |
10347s | makes this all the harder checkmate |
10349s | decides instead they go for aim god but |
10350s | that might have actually been his |
10351s | undoing as the zen slaps him down |
10354s | and says to get out with a touch and |
10356s | recall he's doing some serious work for |
10358s | his team now and finally they get to the |
10359s | point but fixes set a light immediately |
10361s | zest eventually finds his mark it's |
10363s | margin going down and better sprays |
10364s | having to deal with xc now someone |
10366s | hiding in the corner rupaul now going on |
10368s | to offensive mode and he finds a second |
10371s | now an air matrix in play and mm3's in |
10373s | dire straight beautiful stuff from the |
10375s | mayhem and there's a zen gap in the chat |
10378s | love to start a series like that in |
10379s | florida looking good |
10382s | and they needed a start like this |
10386s | what we talked about was yesterday |
10388s | against the london spitfire took them a |
10389s | little bit to wake up i realized hey we |
10391s | don't want to go home just yet and come |
10394s | out today here no they lose that first |
10396s | turn to philadelphia but the next two |
10398s | all florida mayhem they're they seem to |
10400s | be kicking in all cylinders yet again |
10402s | you know taking some of that late series |
10404s | heroics from london into today's matchup |
10406s | which is scary for philly oh yeah |
10408s | they're just looking good xc magic just |
10410s | beautiful stuff so far florida with |
10412s | every reason to be pleased right now but |
10414s | it's a long series and there's much more |
10415s | to be played so don't go too far it's an |
10418s | elimination match between the mayhem and |
10420s | the fusion |
10438s | [Music] |
10459s | [Music] |
10528s | [Music] |
10567s | [Music] |
10598s | yay |
10611s | [Music] |
10642s | a hotly contested back and forth map one |
10645s | on elios sees the mayhem come out on top |
10647s | and some heroics here in the final |
10649s | stages from rupaul who not only deals |
10651s | with a lot of aggression in his |
10652s | direction but he helps someone clutch |
10655s | the round out here |
10657s | yeah massive start here for the florida |
10659s | mayhem i know you hear everybody on the |
10661s | desk fully expect uh philly to come in |
10664s | get a 3-0 |
10666s | uh in florida |
10668s | squashes that right off the rip right |
10670s | and see some of the healing done on the |
10672s | batiste i wasn't even playing batiste |
10673s | the entire time right i know there was a |
10675s | little bit of change up there you know |
10677s | playing uh some breaks so just i believe |
10680s | they're |
10681s | on lighthouse these are massive numbers |
10683s | yeah rupaul obviously uh you know played |
10685s | the baptism that first round uh and had |
10687s | a bit of a slow start on ruins right so |
10689s | the fact that his stat card looks that |
10691s | impressive uh after such a slow sluggish |
10694s | start from the flow to mayhem |
10696s | well that means a heck of a lot here got |
10698s | some substitutions coming in though so |
10699s | the uh the double-edged sword of sir |
10701s | majid comes out here sheath for the time |
10704s | being is artemo the veteran comes back |
10706s | in we have a substitution here for the |
10708s | philadelphia fusion fury talking about |
10710s | veterans fifth year in the overwatch |
10711s | league will replace rookie bellasria |
10714s | yeah and it'll be going to king's row |
10716s | will be the philadelphia fusion pick uh |
10719s | you bring in fury uh you know able to |
10721s | play the really you're kind of looking |
10722s | at sigma probably right here uh no sigma |
10725s | at a very high level i know we've seen |
10727s | him play diva in the past really just |
10729s | one of the more mechanically talented |
10731s | tanks that we've seen in overwatch |
10733s | history now also he kind of mentioned |
10735s | right he's like one of the only players |
10737s | still remaining right from the inaugural |
10739s | season i mean fury's been around for |
10740s | ages i mean he and carpe they're you |
10742s | know two five-year veterans on the same |
10744s | team but uh not many of rosters can can |
10747s | boast that same achievement uh fury also |
10749s | credited with one of the most uh |
10750s | freakish moments of premonition as a |
10752s | diva player with a uh you know |
10754s | season one season two maybe a a |
10756s | unnatural flick with a uh you know a |
10759s | pulse bomb heat from the defense matrix |
10761s | on gibraltar just really impossible |
10763s | things yeah we it's definitely up there |
10764s | with like that triple collat of merit |
10766s | just these astounding moments from star |
10768s | players so fury really wrote the book on |
10770s | that that flex tank that off tank play |
10772s | in overwatch one and he's here to |
10774s | continue his legacy man let's see if he |
10777s | can get a double fusion who frankly |
10779s | again uh show us two sides of a a coin |
10782s | there in that first map getting shut out |
10784s | in that last round not a good look |
10787s | and i worry |
10789s | i think you worry really if you're the |
10791s | fusion if you lose this map |
10793s | right all kind of like you say mostly |
10796s | like a rookie lineup right now you do |
10798s | have some veterans on the squad but |
10800s | do you lose the confidence right florida |
10803s | now they're starting to click right that |
10804s | would be what uh |
10806s | five maps in a row right i know the |
10809s | reverse sweep yesterday is like let's |
10810s | say the first two today like that's team |
10812s | it's on fire right now |
10814s | uh |
10815s | you'd be really worried about philly |
10817s | potentially going home in a |
10819s | pretty commanding fashion by florida |
10822s | i mean yeah that would be uh pretty |
10825s | incredible considering i think |
10826s | expectations for the mayhem aren't |
10827s | exactly |
10828s | sky high right well we saw them at |
10830s | kickoff clash we we sort of felt like we |
10833s | we took their measure pretty accurately |
10835s | the team has definitely evolved a lot uh |
10837s | since then though i feel like we're |
10838s | seeing obviously rupaul's edition uh you |
10840s | know smoothed out a lot of the rougher |
10842s | edges and also someone showing us a |
10843s | deeper |
10844s | tank pool like the wrecking ball their |
10846s | reinhardt player on that's like colosseo |
10848s | there's much more to this team than |
10849s | meets the eye and actually adds that bit |
10851s | of star power here that it's been pretty |
10853s | mind-blowing and how he's been able to |
10855s | just win those first pick duels against |
10857s | mn3 on the ash versus ash consistently |
10859s | in that last map it it's like two |
10861s | completely different um |
10864s | style of teams you would say right we're |
10866s | like philadelphia we talk about how much |
10868s | of like potential and like the |
10869s | individual skill of each of these |
10871s | players right and like if they can reach |
10873s | their highs like they can be one of the |
10875s | best teams in the league |
10877s | uh but sometimes it doesn't happen right |
10878s | sometimes like they'll have a fantastic |
10880s | game sometimes you have a little bit of |
10881s | an off game you know kind of like |
10884s | as weird as it sounds like you know how |
10886s | you feel in that day kind of uh scenario |
10889s | uh where florida |
10892s | they're just like they're not super |
10894s | flashy they're consistently good right |
10896s | uh and you feel like you know some of |
10898s | their more impactful players like |
10900s | someone exe sir majed they they are |
10903s | pretty consistent with their performance |
10904s | right uh to where |
10907s | if a team like philadelphia let's say |
10909s | you would look on paper maybe say hey |
10911s | you know they do have a little bit more |
10912s | you know talent they're able to hit a |
10913s | higher level |
10915s | if they don't come in and hit that |
10916s | higher level florida is skilled enough |
10919s | that they will just win a series like |
10921s | that right because they play pretty |
10923s | consistently gaming and game out |
10925s | and uh you are now looking at the source |
10927s | of our it's like delay here as we're |
10930s | getting animals oh we give that away and |
10932s | uh yeah the baby the people standing |
10934s | around sort of is it is it like |
10939s | might need some uh some some surgery |
10941s | here |
10942s | and you're uh |
10944s | you're pretty you know seeing that |
10946s | entire room and being able to figure out |
10948s | or |
10949s | figure out what the problem is i mean |
10951s | it's not even that impressive i'm |
10952s | actually just seeing the one shot of a |
10953s | player and figuring it out so i would |
10955s | say i have even less information to make |
10956s | that inference on making it even more |
10958s | impressive here's uh here's someone |
10960s | pretty darn impressive on illios here 10 |
10962s | points but |
10964s | sports awards probably do they let you |
10966s | do that ring this is that how i'm gonna |
10968s | get the edge over like some random |
10970s | league of legends or cod guy the real |
10972s | all right all right we'll get maybe |
10973s | maybe uh but all right i'll hit up your |
10975s | uh |
10977s | let's talk about this though i mean uh |
10979s | again we saw a lot of those first kills |
10981s | the first kills don't always manifest on |
10983s | these on these stat boards right they |
10984s | they usually just fall under like |
10985s | another one or whatever but look over |
10988s | 10.6 on ash that's pretty huge uh |
10990s | especially and i think this would be |
10991s | even more damning if it was side by side |
10993s | with mn3s ash on elos because a lot of |
10996s | the time these two players are seeking |
10997s | each other out early so they don't have |
10999s | to worry about getting right on the |
11000s | headshot they get rid of the ash and |
11002s | then they go to work |
11004s | i think it's also like we've seen so |
11006s | many players kind of come |
11008s | uh and go with like really explosive |
11010s | performances since xc like we've seen |
11012s | him at his peak right but you think back |
11014s | to like when he was on paris eternal and |
11016s | like the stuff he was pulling out |
11018s | like he was one of the more exciting |
11021s | promising players in the league right uh |
11024s | and when like he's not able to play for |
11026s | dallas fuel uh that kind of leaves a |
11028s | huge hole in their lineup like |
11031s | obviously i think still kind of getting |
11032s | a little bit more into like uh you know |
11035s | not like maybe like game shape so to |
11037s | speak right uh like kind of getting back |
11039s | to like the level of pro play |
11042s | but |
11042s | man like he is a scary player like a |
11045s | type of player who can take over games |
11048s | against the best and like what felt so |
11050s | tragic is that like actually was played |
11052s | by injury right it was actually physical |
11054s | limitations that prevented him from from |
11056s | playing uh and he had like must be so |
11058s | hard because he wasn't like reinforced |
11060s | where he just got lazy it was |
11062s | he had an actual issue |
11064s | i mean listen being being windsor's |
11066s | charge monkey can only you can only go |
11069s | so long doing that you know like you |
11070s | just jump in with his eye bubble and die |
11072s | so your other tank can get charged i |
11073s | don't think you want to do that in the |
11074s | long term i don't blame johnny i was in |
11076s | china with him i saw how that went down |
11078s | but in in the next case right like |
11080s | you know you want to try and you know do |
11082s | all this while you're young a lot of pro |
11083s | players like really want to fit this |
11084s | kind of experience in their lives and |
11086s | when you take a year off for an injury |
11088s | you have to have such dedication to get |
11090s | back to that same form you're talking |
11091s | about matt so this is a huge achievement |
11093s | for xe now he's going to deliver in the |
11095s | in the team format you know |
11097s | yeah because i'm sure in like |
11099s | seriousness if you are to speak to like |
11100s | you know custer johnny or any like pro |
11102s | player like |
11104s | yeah there's really nothing like it uh |
11106s | so to be able to kind of like bounce |
11107s | back from injury get back into it it has |
11109s | to feel awesome for xc's now it doesn't |
11112s | feel awesome is probably some of those |
11113s | you know damage boosted shots from zest |
11115s | on top of his head as it'll be a |
11117s | reinhardt base comp here uh kind of |
11119s | gives you a little bit when animo comes |
11121s | in you know you're gonna see some kind |
11122s | of like lucio type play uh and they're |
11124s | gonna play it with the may here so |
11126s | interesting setup philadelphia fusion |
11128s | are bringing out |
11129s | oh until zest brings the spice that |
11133s | damage boosted echo something that again |
11135s | we see some echo in the west drive but |
11137s | the mercy to invest even more heavily |
11140s | into that role man i mean it's it's like |
11142s | a unicorn out there so the mayhem have |
11144s | got to figure this out and i'm gonna |
11146s | have to do it quickly |
11148s | man i i'm just thinking about someone's |
11150s | pov of playing reinhardt into this and |
11152s | it is brutal he just gets punched |
11154s | right away chase goes for a charge and |
11156s | fury just dodges it and now he's kind of |
11158s | just stuck on the point yeah it feels |
11160s | like you're at like a zed concert as the |
11161s | reinhardt looking down there's like |
11163s | lights at all and everything flying |
11164s | around rail guns as well as mn3 makes it |
11167s | to |
11168s | someone |
11169s | forced to stand behind the shield and be |
11171s | more of a prop than anything else |
11173s | has the philly fusion whacked them by |
11174s | him for point eye |
11177s | so we'll see what the florida mayhem |
11178s | decided to do uh in terms of composition |
11181s | uh |
11182s | i think that reinhardt has a better |
11183s | chance a higher success rate at this |
11185s | part of the map than the first one |
11187s | against this type of comp because the |
11189s | street is so narrow uh and i think |
11191s | you're able to use the speed boost to |
11193s | get on top of you know aim god a little |
11195s | bit easier but |
11197s | man that first part of the map it is |
11198s | tough for someone |
11201s | tough for anyone if they're playing ryan |
11204s | so here aim god is the one |
11207s | shepherding forward someone there okay |
11209s | briefly knock down fury trying to make |
11211s | something happen there is someone |
11212s | classically tried to charge backwards |
11214s | but it's enough the mutual knock down |
11215s | with fury in the enemy territory is the |
11217s | perfect response from someone so it's a |
11218s | free doom kill right there |
11221s | yeah the damage boost in the mercy is |
11223s | also a little bit |
11225s | off-putting probably and just a little |
11227s | bit odd for someone as well and that'll |
11229s | be echo duplicate probably just to live |
11231s | there as the push is coming in |
11233s | from someone onto zest but |
11236s | just knowing like how much damage your |
11238s | shield is going to take and then a break |
11240s | right but when the the damage boost |
11241s | comes in and like there's extra damage |
11243s | coming through it's definitely going to |
11244s | be a little bit odd so you talk about |
11246s | not knowing how much damage is coming in |
11247s | combine the fact that you can't tell |
11248s | when sojourn is fully charged with her |
11250s | being damage boosted right that's pretty |
11252s | volatile for you as defenders i love |
11254s | that punch from fury that is just on |
11256s | point knocking someone forward into mn3 |
11258s | forcing him to drop the shield for just |
11260s | long enough there and fury's trying to |
11262s | do that a lot here matt you'll notice |
11263s | he's just trying to dive in and just |
11264s | separate the rhine make everyone more |
11266s | subject to this damage coming in |
11268s | especially from zest oh yeah i mean what |
11270s | what is he gonna what is someone gonna |
11272s | do turn like a rally with his shield |
11274s | yeah like charge the dude while he's |
11275s | punching |
11277s | right but you know then he's gonna have |
11279s | a mercy pocketed echo behind him put a |
11282s | few shots into and then just focus ah |
11284s | immortality field is the thing bro don't |
11285s | worry about it rupaul's got him |
11287s | trust in the homies |
11291s | that's a shadow mn3 |
11293s | knocked to the ground and someone with a |
11294s | very quick charge follow-up so quick in |
11296s | fact that even zest first couldn't |
11297s | answer it there's xe coming out now with |
11299s | an overclock and he'll claim |
11301s | the skyborne zest that'll be enough for |
11303s | the mayhem here to hold on he can invest |
11304s | a sound barrier |
11306s | yeah i i'm trying to figure out why |
11308s | invested the sound barrier maybe they |
11310s | thought that fight was still going to go |
11312s | on a little bit longer and fury is |
11314s | actually using a meteor strike and i |
11315s | believe checkmate was on the ground |
11316s | sleeping so maybe they thought i know |
11318s | trying to be able to keep him alive uh |
11320s | that was that impactful probably to be |
11322s | able to counter some of the echo play |
11324s | but |
11325s | you don't have that a positive sign |
11327s | though is that like the the philadelphia |
11328s | fusion don't have like a massive support |
11329s | all to use here either so |
11331s | not at a huge disadvantage |
11334s | checkmate trying to keep tabs on zest as |
11336s | a disrupts to the shot will make it a |
11338s | little bit hard possessed to pass |
11339s | through this area at all constantly |
11341s | being pocketed by fixer though means |
11342s | that zest can be a sticky threat |
11344s | resilient and hard to shift and mn3 |
11347s | commands the higher ground here sending |
11348s | animo to an early grave and someone's |
11350s | gonna have to charge to get out of this |
11351s | little snafu and matrix thrown up there |
11353s | so the healing coming in from rupaul is |
11355s | good but it's not enough to keep someone |
11356s | up and eventually zest will claim the |
11358s | baptiste as well checkmate though is an |
11360s | issue he's going after fury there next |
11362s | he's able to fend him off here this |
11364s | could be big for the mayhem they have a |
11365s | couple players left but mn3 is gonna dig |
11367s | deeper and go more aggressive until he |
11369s | gets what he wants and that's the |
11370s | checkpoint |
11372s | the and they actually get a res off |
11374s | during that on to aim god so aim got |
11376s | able to hit a sleeping a biotic grenade |
11378s | after that so |
11379s | the mercy is paying off finally |
11381s | someone's like can i please stop playing |
11383s | right right guys uh it gets on to the |
11386s | winston so uh winston with the lucio in |
11389s | the mix so |
11390s | i wonder if this is a situation where |
11392s | like man you wish you had like a majed |
11394s | in is you know potentially play the zen |
11396s | against this fury when he sees the |
11398s | winston come out he's going to end up |
11400s | going over to diva |
11401s | oh man |
11402s | the image the way these dps are playing |
11405s | to play you play anything |
11407s | with the way you know that you're |
11408s | playing |
11409s | the soju and hitting a little diff |
11411s | though i mean mm3 is getting the better |
11412s | of xc quite often here on this map a bit |
11415s | of a mirror image of what we saw with |
11417s | the ash match up with ilios here's a |
11418s | valkyrie matt coming from saying that |
11420s | 2023 |
11422s | in the the zarya swat just for someone |
11424s | and the zarya is actually |
11426s | pretty good against the diva obviously |
11427s | as you've kind of known in the past is |
11430s | that so that they duplicate here he's |
11432s | going to get a graviton sir just yuri |
11434s | comes up with two |
11437s | dominants from philadelphia this is |
11439s | overkill philly going so fast i thought |
11441s | you were in next year already |
11443s | nice dupe there from zest to zayas |
11446s | now one of them accompanying the dv here |
11448s | we're throwing it back for philly |
11450s | good looks there in general the mayhem |
11452s | aren't able to come up with the answer |
11453s | in time i don't think we've seen much of |
11455s | someone's eye or at all so it's pretty |
11457s | clear to see that florida are being |
11458s | forced to explore some alternate |
11461s | strategies to try and answer first it's |
11463s | the sort of the echo mercy set up and |
11465s | then fury making that diva switch |
11467s | it's tough out there you've got to be |
11468s | quick on your feet to deal with these |
11469s | teams from the east |
11471s | yes uh you know the the reinhardt pick |
11473s | we talked about uh pretty difficult to |
11476s | make work there i know with animo in the |
11479s | game you don't have the option for like |
11480s | double flex support um |
11483s | so you're really kind of trying to build |
11484s | stuff around like lucio and brigitte for |
11487s | like his hero pool and kind of what do |
11488s | you make work with that |
11490s | uh philadelphia fusion you know just |
11492s | dominant on offense they'll have you |
11494s | already pick up the sigma here on |
11496s | defense which i mean we know from the |
11498s | past how good he is on sigma one of the |
11500s | best in the world |
11502s | yeah definitely one of his more |
11505s | well-known hero onslaught the diva which |
11507s | we got to see earlier on there so |
11509s | someone has shown us uh a fair bit here |
11511s | obviously florida that favored the |
11512s | winston play a lot earlier on in the |
11513s | kickoff clash so here's fury |
11517s | just very present in this fight |
11521s | what's even backed up by zest makes a |
11522s | big difference here but again i mean |
11524s | this guy's right at home on the diva |
11526s | shutting down |
11531s | the checkmate on genji here so this will |
11534s | allow them to access that high ground a |
11536s | bit better xc on the sojourn because you |
11538s | want to play that it's a little bit more |
11540s | dive aggressive with the winston they do |
11542s | not waste any time they are right in |
11544s | yeah and it works someone gets aimed |
11546s | straight away the fusion we're not ready |
11547s | for this level of aggression they are |
11549s | going to collapse in a screaming |
11551s | in three at least hold up but not much |
11553s | left here if you're making a late fight |
11555s | come back that was huge how philly it |
11558s | down two players there to bounce back |
11560s | that is a big deal |
11562s | it's crazy right because they use the |
11564s | immortality field up on the high ground |
11566s | they're still able to take out aim god |
11568s | it just doesn't seem to matter |
11571s | you get no progress on the point after |
11573s | this but they want to keep fighting fast |
11575s | here for florida as someone comes right |
11577s | over the top of anima comes right in |
11579s | they want to go challenge that high |
11580s | ground deny it from philadelphia yet |
11582s | again so i guess the issue becomes okay |
11584s | you can start the fight off but getting |
11585s | rid of mn3 is a big issue they do that |
11587s | right in the beginning here but it's a |
11589s | long range |
11590s | yeah it's a long range accretion to the |
11592s | high ground there and he's able to trade |
11594s | that that is a massive and then takes oh |
11597s | maybe three for fury here |
11599s | yeah philly started to take |
11602s | uh some liberties here with the miami as |
11603s | they dive in and they're doing it |
11605s | shortly they're doing it short-handed |
11607s | mn3 went down first in that previous |
11609s | fight there but the response from fury's |
11611s | fury was so quick that they may as well |
11612s | not have been a player disadvantage at |
11614s | all that is just scary to watch here so |
11616s | many threats for the fusion who do you |
11618s | target first |
11620s | and that is a really tough accretion to |
11621s | hit because fury is down on the low |
11623s | ground and axia is up on that top right |
11625s | platform like right above where someone |
11627s | is currently |
11628s | uh |
11629s | in that kind of angle and hitting a |
11631s | sojourn who has like a very small hitbox |
11633s | that is such a difficult thing to do |
11636s | all right aim god |
11638s | otherwise known as jeff |
11639s | having a back up there a little bit |
11641s | someone accretion didn't go towards him |
11643s | as this was enough to get rid of the |
11645s | winston |
11646s | and that looked awkward for the mayhem |
11647s | right looks like their rotation plan was |
11649s | a little unclear getting a freebie on |
11651s | zest there is nice do they have staying |
11653s | power they're waiting for someone again |
11657s | and you're gonna have sound barrier here |
11659s | like |
11661s | you can speed in |
11663s | with the sound barrier trying to use it |
11664s | that way you know a little bit more |
11666s | survivability uh |
11668s | just kind of kicks someone off of the |
11670s | high ground that'll be an ant matrix and |
11671s | it's going to be a gravity blocks uh |
11673s | that's a sound barrier but you you've |
11675s | had two people die already so you're |
11677s | really not going to get much value and |
11678s | transcendence if they need a map they |
11680s | just don't though oh m3 finishes the job |
11682s | there i mean hats off to fix a huge |
11685s | immortality field there against that |
11687s | dive |
11688s | yeah and i wonder when the sound barrier |
11690s | goes down it sounds like the gravity |
11691s | flux is coming out i wonder |
11692s | uh if it just like doesn't connect with |
11694s | the people in the sky or if they're too |
11696s | low that it doesn't really matter uh |
11698s | someone now goes over to the doomfist is |
11700s | florida just searching for answers but a |
11702s | brief switch here from fixer unclear |
11704s | what that is attempt it's supposed to |
11706s | anticipate here |
11707s | so a little bit less of that first |
11708s | healing the doom swap well i mean that's |
11711s | that's beautiful because i don't know |
11712s | how we got that telegraph to him |
11715s | rupaul down to a pulse so this fight's |
11716s | already over |
11718s | and yet |
11719s | okay |
11724s | we've seen florida get a few first picks |
11726s | but it has not resulted in anything |
11728s | right no i mean to be fair |
11730s | it's almost always traded back |
11732s | pretty quickly yeah fury gotta be |
11735s | careful this is very dangerous for the |
11736s | sigma armor finished with the job there |
11738s | but m3 sends the bob |
11740s | to control that high ground so now that |
11742s | my him again without the mechanisms to |
11744s | to make a substantial push here and |
11746s | animo he's hanging around that's fine |
11748s | but yeah just you know he throws himself |
11750s | out into m3 skyline after having that |
11752s | high ground denied that that's a huge |
11754s | stagger very punishing |
11757s | and nano blade a possibility here but |
11760s | target's just going to be everywhere |
11761s | from philadelphia fusion you go for the |
11763s | supports they have the transcendence |
11765s | last chance for the mayhem |
11767s | yeah nano blade might be the answer here |
11769s | xe |
11770s | doesn't have the sidelines here |
11773s | thought he had might have had something |
11774s | there but no rupaul's gonna go down |
11775s | another pulse on to ana from zest that's |
11777s | huge he is absolutely delivering that |
11780s | tracer position inside the blade yep no |
11782s | chance checkmate goes down before it |
11784s | happened again it's the pulse bomb on |
11786s | rupaul that denied the possibility to |
11788s | set up with the genji |
11790s | zest with the easy in chat and why not |
11792s | philly look vastly superior on king's |
11795s | row |
11796s | oh and actually goes to easy agree it's |
11799s | uh there's really nothing you can say |
11801s | there from the florida mayhem side |
11802s | philadelphia fusion they pick king's row |
11805s | they show why this one was as one-sided |
11808s | as it gets sad man mn3 and zest really |
11812s | came to life i also feel like florida |
11814s | they were in a tough spot |
11815s | compositionally i feel like they didn't |
11816s | have uh the best tools to fight back |
11819s | against fulfill he was thrown at him you |
11820s | might be right looks like fury on the |
11822s | sigma was a bit of a hard one to shift |
11824s | there so dig deeper into the metal mine |
11826s | here for the florida mayhem let's see |
11828s | what they can come up with as they'll |
11829s | have a map pick after the break |
11842s | [Music] |

12091s | royalty is in our midst the mid-season |
12094s | madness legendary skin royal night mercy |
12096s | is on sale now through august 19th for |
12099s | just 200 league targets so get yours |
12102s | today great time to snap that skin up it |
12104s | is i mean it's pretty sick mercy skins |
12106s | always kind of kind of hit this this one |
12108s | no exception to that one but hey what's |
12110s | royalty to a god here his aim got on the |
12112s | rest of the fusion to make short work of |
12114s | the florida mayhem on that second map |
12117s | king's row is uh who win it like you |
12119s | said it matt doesn't get much more |
12120s | one-sided than that |
12123s | no as uh |
12125s | there's really nothing uh really nothing |
12127s | that the florida mayhem did there that |
12129s | like |
12130s | made it remotely close uh it's pretty |
12134s | pretty much all philadelphia fusion |
12136s | there |
12137s | yeah look really solid obviously that |
12138s | you know a lot of those first doors |
12140s | getting won out by mn3 that sojourn |
12142s | popping off in a big way and it |
12144s | definitely seemed like while the dives |
12146s | started off well for the mayhem right |
12147s | they were getting like a kill on |
12148s | zenyatta straight away eventually as the |
12151s | fight went on you know with the baptiste |
12152s | play of course from the fusion they're |
12154s | able just to push back and and make it |
12156s | impossible uh for the mayhem to win so |
12158s | very impressive stuff |
12160s | this is just mn3's attack round on |
12163s | king's row now bear in mind they |
12164s | finished they did finish the map on that |
12166s | one so 12 final blows though six of |
12168s | those obviously coming from railguns and |
12170s | yeah pretty nasty railgun accuracy there |
12172s | up by 63 |
12174s | just the attacking round bear that in |
12176s | mind |
12177s | yeah no it's uh it's crazy the way that |
12180s | uh mn3 play there just the one death |
12182s | there on king's row |
12184s | i know the 12 final blows uh i mean just |
12188s | there was no answer and you were |
12189s | wondering like you know is he gonna come |
12191s | alive uh definitely bounce back there in |
12193s | king's row |
12195s | i mean you know bear in mind the winner |
12197s | of this matchup will go up against the |
12199s | loser of hangzhou and the gladiators so |
12202s | i mean no easy matches going forward |
12204s | from either |
12205s | either of these two so they'd better get |
12207s | used to it at this stage |
12210s | no easy matches from here on out i was |
12212s | gonna say there's really no easy matches |
12214s | throughout the entire tournament but man |
12216s | that's why it's just damn good overwatch |
12218s | like oh man it's been it's been a i mean |
12220s | again look both regions obviously have |
12222s | teams that are really dominant teams |
12223s | that are still finding themselves here |
12224s | but these are opportunities to kind of |
12226s | you know get your snapshot your two |
12228s | regions at their best and i'm excited |
12230s | about this next map peak map for one |
12232s | reason and that is gibraltar with like |
12235s | the top widow in the league |
12236s | statistically mn3 and actually who we |
12239s | know will pick that even in compromising |
12240s | scenarios there is potential for quite |
12243s | an explosive matchup of snipers here |
12247s | yeah and you're going to have uh with |
12249s | the gibraltar pick you're going to have |
12250s | a animal state in the game so |
12253s | uh no double flex support option here |
12256s | for the florida mayhem uh you know you |
12258s | can still if you want to play like |
12260s | wrecking ball right you could |
12262s | um |
12263s | but you're probably just going to play |
12264s | like that winston lucio stuff yet again |
12266s | right that's kind of what you're |
12267s | thinking about |
12268s | yeah it's good chance of seeing that |
12269s | there |
12270s | philly obviously have multiple avenues |
12273s | uh available to them i'd like to see the |
12274s | ball from them there's a there's a fun |
12276s | game right now where you can't see it |
12278s | but it's in the lobby i want to explain |
12279s | it basically when the admins are taking |
12281s | us in the game they they type in chat |
12283s | going in right and when everyone's ready |
12284s | yeah so what xe is doing is he just |
12287s | randomly just types going in out of |
12288s | nowhere to try and you know stress the |
12291s | fusion out thinking that an admin is |
12292s | trying to take the game in he's just an |
12294s | absolute troll |
12295s | uh this time though we are actually |
12296s | going in |
12298s | i i think he's just more just trolling i |
12300s | don't know if it's like a psychological |
12302s | war no he's just trolling but he's |
12303s | telling telling the admins to give him |
12305s | their job actually i think you're in the |
12307s | i'm not gonna yeah i'll i'll ask you |
12308s | over and see what they think but i think |
12310s | like the the hot shot superstar pro |
12312s | player job might be the better one to |
12314s | have right now |
12316s | don't i |
12317s | haven't worked either of those jobs |
12318s | personally |
12321s | yeah i mean |
12322s | we'll see what happens i mean if you |
12324s | kind of you're going up against mn3's |
12326s | widowmaker here and it doesn't go well |
12328s | it might not be better |
12329s | so we'll see |
12331s | uh |
12332s | on defense here with the wrecking ball |
12334s | uh we got a pause here quick so we'll |
12337s | figure out uh what's going on |
12340s | particularly devastating he did troll |
12342s | yeah maybe trolled him so hard that |
12344s | philly weren't actually ready for this |
12346s | uh we'll have uh confirmation the reason |
12348s | for that as well obviously of course |
12349s | know yeah there's a pause in affiliate |
12350s | game where that the face games just |
12352s | don't exist so like it's not like we can |
12354s | just throw philly up on the screen and |
12356s | show you what's going on there they are |
12357s | uh they are about a collection of pixels |
12360s | uh that don't move to us right now |
12362s | i believe it was uh rupaul called for |
12365s | the uh pause there uh so i believe it |
12367s | comes from the florida side so |
12369s | uh should be getting that sorted out and |
12371s | then right back in again it's his mouse |
12373s | wow it seems like they're ready already |
12374s | yeah all right so maybe just making sure |
12377s | that was connected he had that flipped |
12378s | over and spun it around briefly |
12381s | you see here that uh animo |
12383s | got some wrist apparatus going on of |
12385s | course |
12386s | exe with the the double sleeves that |
12388s | guy's just |
12391s | all right it's clean philadelphia fusion |
12393s | here on the rollout again we don't get |
12394s | the widowmaker match up off the bat mm3 |
12396s | opting to play arguably the more |
12398s | conservative the safer option in the in |
12399s | the sojourn yeah |
12401s | and i think uh also when you combo this |
12404s | is james and the giant peach |
12411s | there should be some some collision |
12413s | there |
12413s | [Laughter] |
12415s | that's what happens to the hamster |
12418s | as uh |
12420s | you can play the sojourn with the tracer |
12422s | and the ball right it's like a really |
12423s | aggressive setup |
12425s | south florida probably just a roadhog |
12427s | hook here off the off the bat see if you |
12430s | can get anybody from the high ground and |
12431s | then |
12432s | a little bit of a switch you got to do |
12434s | it it's your due diligence on a map like |
12436s | this just like a hanzo sonic is on route |
12439s | 66 |
12442s | on winston now |
12444s | winston the ball |
12446s | and maybe you wanted uh more of the |
12448s | brookie to play from animo uh being in |
12450s | the game because |
12452s | you're a little bit worried about like |
12453s | how good like zest has been on the |
12454s | tracer and then |
12456s | also the dive from the ball |
12458s | uh |
12460s | obviously i think you do lose out on a |
12462s | bit of damage not having the zenyatta in |
12464s | the mix and it's so strong right now |
12468s | we saw what major did for the team in |
12470s | that first map i understand there's |
12471s | protocols you don't just throw him in |
12472s | because he had a good map but |
12476s | obviously tough to see him go without |
12477s | him |
12478s | actually hardly perturbed by that |
12480s | disruptive shot there |
12482s | no collision so m3 had to basically |
12485s | estimate where that would stop |
12487s | pretty clever |
12489s | so they may have taken up this high |
12490s | ground residence with limited resistance |
12492s | from the fusion really uh happy to give |
12494s | that space up now and let's see how they |
12496s | may have made use of it |
12500s | yeah but the card is not like made |
12501s | enough progress right like you usually |
12503s | see like the high ground really make an |
12504s | impact when the cart's made up with |
12506s | weight through the tunnel but it hasn't |
12507s | made it just yet |
12510s | those rear going around and right until |
12511s | he gets put to sleep now a world of |
12514s | trouble doesn't have anything to use |
12516s | here but he's gonna get healed right |
12517s | back up i mean the one thing you should |
12518s | take note of is the fact that rupaul is |
12519s | not getting looked at by anyone he got |
12522s | the heel up someone entirely and he's |
12524s | under no dress whatsoever philly's i |
12526s | guess their target priority they're not |
12528s | really where it has to be i guess fellas |
12529s | ready to have backup whichever way you |
12531s | slice it too much space before it is |
12533s | honor and rupaul makes extensive use of |
12535s | it |
12537s | yes i'm really odd first point here like |
12540s | it was just trying to kill fusion |
12543s | not entirely sure uh as you know maybe |
12546s | this is something where philly's gonna |
12548s | have to change up a little bit is uh |
12549s | felicia is |
12551s | pretty far behind look at the picks up |
12552s | on the high ground there |
12554s | that's right great disruption but it's |
12556s | not enough to stop fix it from getting |
12558s | caught out there so the mayhem are |
12559s | definitely on the way |
12561s | perhaps this is just a map that they're |
12562s | much more comfortable with from a |
12564s | strategic standpoint mn3 though cares |
12567s | little for those things |
12573s | we know maybe it's something that |
12574s | they've watched uh the philadelphia |
12576s | fusion play and figure you know they're |
12578s | not |
12579s | they're not playing the right comps or |
12581s | maybe you don't have the you know right |
12583s | person i'll do it on this map as uh it's |
12585s | gonna be two kills for |
12587s | zest yeah i mean sometimes you can put |
12590s | him on tracer yeah you're in a good spot |
12593s | i think they got bailed out pretty big |
12594s | time there by uh mn3 incest did the |
12596s | fusion especially with bella freya's |
12598s | you know less than impactful positioning |
12600s | and allowing them to just hand over the |
12602s | fixer elimination so early in their |
12603s | fight |
12604s | can't afford that too often here |
12607s | checkmate under pressure here zest |
12610s | keeping him honest and again aim god |
12611s | going down here so another support |
12612s | picked off early |
12614s | the mayhem again started the fight on |
12616s | the right foot |
12618s | the end someone gets right on top of |
12619s | them and then three takes him out |
12622s | so it looks like you're gonna give this |
12623s | up a little bit if you're florida just |
12624s | this fight not this entire point you're |
12626s | gonna back out you know minefield |
12628s | transcendence overclock to be able to |
12630s | fight |
12630s | as the payload gets close to that second |
12632s | checkpoint |
12635s | it's kind of hard to see how bellasriya |
12636s | is linking up with the rest of his team |
12638s | here uh in some cases i just point out |
12640s | the fact that obviously a lot of |
12641s | pressure on the back line for the mayhem |
12642s | and that's kind of part of it pulse bomb |
12644s | from zest no connection and then three |
12646s | though nail someone and that's huge |
12649s | that'll relieve a lot of that pressure |
12650s | from philadelphia now maybe they can |
12652s | retake this high ground actually falls |
12653s | back by the disrupter shot him in three |
12655s | low |
12656s | valeria trying to get an etsy's face but |
12658s | doesn't have the staying power to shift |
12659s | him from there so |
12661s | i mean philly get elimination but |
12663s | florida's still able to jockey for good |
12664s | position |
12666s | yeah and florida will come back they'll |
12668s | have their nano boost here potentially |
12670s | to use on to someone or even animo so |
12672s | that'll be the rally use up here on the |
12674s | high ground as philly wants to get |
12675s | aggressive they don't want to allow |
12676s | florida to set this pace i mean that's a |
12678s | punish there in three punished for |
12680s | power sliding aggressively there is |
12681s | someone had the nano and of course a |
12683s | jump pack cooldown available now it gets |
12686s | a little bit dangerous fix it playing |
12687s | inside this small room of course you |
12689s | want your brick to be uh running in all |
12691s | cylinders here and someone with a |
12692s | discord or bottoms gonna make it very |
12694s | very hard for him to get out without |
12695s | that primal so he uses it nice plaster |
12697s | over there from bellator to slow someone |
12699s | down but it will still be a force |
12700s | transcendence out of ain't gonna |
12701s | actually still has this pole position |
12705s | yeah you're still controlling the high |
12706s | ground here for the florida mayhem uh |
12708s | you see feliciario trying to get up |
12710s | there into the ship but |
12712s | not able to finish anybody off just big |
12714s | damage coming down from florida mayhem |
12715s | and it looks like some kills gonna |
12716s | happen over time here but still another |
12719s | trade is |
12720s | you know philly has not been able to |
12721s | dislodge florida from the high ground |
12723s | but also florida hasn't really done |
12724s | anything with the high ground we're |
12725s | gonna sat here in this neutral state for |
12727s | a bit yeah or at least like it's been |
12729s | like a trade of kills just like this one |
12731s | checkmate goes deep here to try and |
12733s | group up with someone but it's a trade |
12734s | again |
12735s | that's lovely from bellazaria perfect |
12737s | use of the minefield and knocking the |
12739s | manhattan into them here i've got to say |
12742s | despite bella's three for all |
12743s | appearances playing a solo i also like |
12745s | that he's they're sort of trying to |
12747s | potentially body block something there |
12748s | donna's very very very good at using |
12750s | power driver to disrupt the rhythm of |
12752s | the maiden see like every time someone |
12753s | tries to dive matt he gets sort of |
12755s | knocked up and disrupted midway through |
12757s | that cooldown it's very frustrating for |
12758s | winston in that situation |
12761s | i like the ash swap here |
12763s | really good at long range and when we've |
12765s | been seeing a lot of these fights |
12766s | there's such close quarters that if |
12769s | you're able to get a good dynamite in |
12770s | that close quarter just a lot of damage |
12772s | no built up the other team's gonna have |
12774s | to run puts you in your better sight |
12776s | line is |
12777s | see that's a that's a kill again for the |
12780s | flight about him can they capitalize on |
12782s | this though i love that timing from |
12784s | someone he knows that from the high |
12786s | ground your mn3 is gonna be ejected so |
12787s | he links up perfectly with that |
12789s | displacement and philadelphia will have |
12791s | to see the checkpoint the mayhem with |
12793s | only about two minutes to work with so |
12794s | we'll see if this ash switch is the |
12797s | difference maker because just in terms |
12798s | of how x he's looked |
12800s | definitely been a better pick for him so |
12801s | far this series |
12804s | yeah i think the the ash has been really |
12806s | uh i think for the western region teams |
12808s | been something that they've started to |
12810s | use a little bit more we've seen it in |
12811s | the east but the teams in the west have |
12814s | been pulling out the ash it's been |
12815s | pretty effective in certain situations |
12817s | and certain parts of the map i feel like |
12819s | right here this is kind of like almost a |
12821s | part of a map that like ash was like |
12823s | designed for right like the perfect |
12824s | sight lines perfect distance |
12828s | elevation really good wind velocity yeah |
12831s | humidity |
12833s | all right check my pulse here as |
12835s | veloceria makes a strafing run |
12839s | just waiting for the dive here oh no |
12841s | pulse bomb connect but doesn't matter |
12842s | because he has the the damage that just |
12844s | ruined xc with the pulse pistols |
12846s | someone's primal rage here now i wonder |
12847s | how he tries to use this he wants an |
12849s | environmental kill but he realizes it |
12850s | might be too risky especially with a |
12852s | player down here |
12854s | that's still pretty good payload |
12856s | progress here you're going to get it |
12857s | under this bridge |
12859s | see it looks like you're waiting here |
12860s | just to get everybody back at full |
12862s | strength you can see axis outline coming |
12864s | on back |
12866s | chimney takes so much damage going in |
12868s | with that pulse bomb 35 seconds he's out |
12871s | of sync with someone someone's diving |
12872s | back at the same time his checkmate |
12874s | tries to commit for a kill so even if he |
12875s | gets something |
12877s | yeah because the minefield tap in here |
12880s | mm3 wants to start this one himself oh |
12882s | rupaul can't do much about that one |
12884s | these rails are hidden hard |
12888s | not a whole lot to be done there that |
12889s | was a great pc grail from mn3 didn't get |
12891s | kills for those but the damage was big |
12893s | this is bad news for the mayhem now |
12895s | their odds of a map completion starting |
12898s | to get away from them |
12900s | yeah and someone is going to switch over |
12901s | to the doomfist it's going to be a pulse |
12903s | bomb from zest on to rupaul but uh yeah |
12906s | fix it here using the rally not able to |
12909s | make it back towards the payload but |
12912s | pretty decent progress there for florida |
12914s | mayhem you get both checkpoints and you |
12915s | get about halfway uh towards the end of |
12918s | the map i think it's been a really |
12919s | interesting map so far because both |
12920s | teams are like evidently being faced |
12923s | with you know different struggles right |
12925s | philadelphia are obviously uh giving up |
12927s | a lot of ground at the start of that |
12929s | round and bella's real with that sort of |
12930s | weird play inside server room with no |
12932s | backup and we're watching rupaul just |
12934s | basically sip cocktails and throw |
12936s | grenades and look very comfortable and |
12938s | then florida getting slowed down towards |
12940s | the end of that map there and finally |
12941s | the disruption from philly starting to |
12943s | starting to take hold seeing a little |
12945s | bit of uh you know out of sync plays |
12948s | from the mayhem here so quite |
12949s | fascinating but philly the ones that end |
12950s | up recovering like in the round and hey |
12953s | i'm at completion |
12954s | and maybe a widowmaker out of the gates |
12956s | could be on the cars for philly |
12959s | that would be exciting seeing this |
12961s | widowmaker battle so maybe xc expects it |
12964s | to happen here |
12965s | that this is so huge |
12968s | yeah the anakila i'm pretty sure |
12970s | and probably not even expecting that to |
12972s | happen right |
12974s | well and that by i mean i think such a |
12976s | kill doesn't happen i don't think that |
12978s | someone can touch in time anyway well he |
12981s | probably got slowed down i guess by like |
12982s | half a second by having to maybe like |
12984s | die backwards and not get blown up but |
12986s | he would have died to the pulse anyway |
12987s | so still |
12988s | it was very nice and it would have made |
12990s | it impossible for florida to win a fair |
12991s | fight there |
12998s | finally get a philly game are you doing |
13000s | me like that okay i'm in three on the |
13001s | sojourn once more |
13003s | johnny was on the edge of his seat |
13004s | probably seeing the the moyra zen hover |
13014s | [Applause] |
13021s | actually yeah 80s wheaties apparently |
13026s | ah bella in the back line uh he just got |
13029s | hit with everything |
13032s | really nice sleep dart and then the |
13034s | biotic ready to follow it |
13041s | is such a |
13042s | tremendous hit scan player that |
13046s | you know he can just take over these |
13048s | games sometimes and starting off here on |
13049s | the widowmaker |
13051s | i mean he has looked phenomenal thus far |
13053s | and it's going to force the switch mn3 |
13055s | is going to try and play the widow to |
13056s | match it yeah fair enough xc is a real |
13058s | terror on this widow |
13060s | and there it is |
13062s | and then three opens up and gets that |
13064s | counter widow kill |
13065s | now a fusion have the ability to advance |
13070s | yeah it's like uh |
13072s | but i would love to see that shot it had |
13073s | to be a grapple and a really interesting |
13076s | spot is a bow supports your stuff for |
13078s | florida mayhem |
13080s | that par driver would have been lethal |
13081s | to animo he would have been popped up |
13083s | into mn3's purview these head shots on |
13086s | someone are coming consistently enough |
13087s | to keep the winston out of the fight and |
13089s | god follows up i mean you've got to ask |
13092s | the question why we haven't seen widows |
13093s | so far from him in three or before he |
13095s | just headshot a bloody tracer off screen |
13099s | it also helps that zest gets right up in |
13101s | excess girls he's trying to come out to |
13103s | spawn |
13104s | and he does it yet again here just uh |
13107s | oh and he's gonna be like hey everybody |
13109s | is here |
13110s | florida they're in a tough spot do you |
13111s | try and i tell it you have the wrecking |
13113s | ball behind you uh it's gonna be a |
13115s | difficult spot to get out of |
13117s | the pressure from zest makes it hard for |
13118s | the mayhem to coordinate on the |
13120s | following up on that sleep dart on |
13121s | bella's rear so the wrecking ball gets a |
13123s | stay of execution for philly and they |
13125s | continue to advance |
13127s | xc pops the infrasight here |
13129s | and philly know that trying to advance |
13131s | through this is inadvisable |
13136s | yeah you're wondering like how are they |
13137s | going to stop this potential you know |
13140s | fast push from philadelphia fusion the |
13142s | infrasight's just so scary i know you |
13145s | play like xc that vision he's going to |
13146s | be able to knock down those shots pretty |
13148s | easily |
13150s | three not taking widowed angles right |
13152s | now because he knows |
13154s | i think he actually someone want to jump |
13156s | up top and he actually hit his head on |
13158s | the overhang no value from the nano |
13160s | still the primal on the horizon and |
13162s | pressure being applied now to mn3 |
13165s | pressure of the simian kind looks good |
13170s | someone gets right back in the mix here |
13173s | uh you're not even worried about having |
13175s | to protect xc bella austria can't get in |
13177s | close enough to |
13179s | really make you sweat if someone can |
13181s | control this high ground can mm3 keep |
13183s | forcing the widow from this position do |
13184s | you think |
13187s | it's going to be tough right because |
13189s | well what is what are your options uh |
13191s | i mean you move off of the widow |
13195s | axey is gonna what stand on the ship and |
13197s | you know just kind of click heads to the |
13199s | rest of the game |
13200s | you need the widow to kind of keep them |
13201s | honest but if someone can just control |
13203s | the high ground like we see him doing |
13204s | currently |
13206s | i mean he may just kind of play the rest |
13208s | of the the round looking like this |
13210s | without a primal someone likely would |
13212s | have died there |
13213s | there was enough players i think on that |
13214s | high ground to follow up on the |
13216s | immobility the pile driver would have |
13218s | imposed on someone |
13221s | better mind swatted away in midair okay |
13223s | easy as you like |
13226s | you go like that because you can't play |
13228s | i mean what are you gonna do play ash |
13229s | here right |
13231s | i mean |
13232s | you'll be able to survive the winston |
13234s | but |
13235s | you're not going to be able to go in |
13236s | against these widowmakers oh he's done |
13238s | he's absolutely cool nice position from |
13240s | someone with the body block and |
13243s | i would love to see from x's pov like |
13245s | what does the pressure look like that's |
13246s | being put on him because |
13249s | you know he's been at like full hp the |
13250s | entire time we've seen his outline like |
13253s | zest is able to get a kill on the honor |
13254s | there well where is this pressure coming |
13257s | in he might |
13258s | the philadelphia fusion on x i think the |
13260s | issue is if x is playing on top of the |
13261s | shuttle how does tracer really get there |
13262s | would you like to try you can't really |
13264s | blink across like you have to go to the |
13266s | bridge |
13267s | you don't have verticality as tracer you |
13269s | need to go the old-fashioned way and |
13270s | then maybe he just runs into rupaul |
13272s | first |
13273s | in the shuttle and says well i have to |
13274s | pulse this or i'm going to get ranch |
13276s | there it is xe gets him in three and |
13278s | philly are stumped matthew |
13281s | yes they cannot figure this out |
13284s | and what do you do with your wrecking |
13285s | ball right okay so this time they |
13287s | actually knock they knock him into mines |
13289s | but i don't know if it's going to be |
13290s | enough for like a fight win here his aim |
13292s | guard's going to use the transcendence |
13293s | going to try and keep everybody alive in |
13294s | this closed corridor the bio big one |
13297s | fixer |
13298s | gasping ferreira is checkmate |
13300s | trucks the life out of him |
13303s | pulse bomb there for check might as well |
13304s | plus yeah |
13306s | yeah when you go to the high ground |
13307s | mitch as the wrecking ball like just |
13309s | think about it from like this point of |
13310s | view right uh you're most likely playing |
13312s | the anna like up there with the |
13313s | widowmaker |
13314s | it's not like you have a winston shield |
13316s | to kind of like throw down and block a |
13317s | sleep dart coming in or something like |
13318s | that right like or even if the brig is |
13320s | up there with a uh i know a a whip shot |
13323s | right to just force you back like you're |
13325s | just flying up there and like what you |
13327s | get slapped by a grenade you have to run |
13328s | away like the tracer can't get up there |
13330s | with you it's pretty difficult |
13333s | zest and then three are both having |
13335s | issues getting through |
13337s | someone |
13338s | quite the door man if i must say so |
13341s | this knows he can't stand still for too |
13342s | long otherwise he loses his head to the |
13344s | enemy widow this is how he gets onto the |
13346s | shuttles we can double blink across |
13349s | but again rupaul always stands in his |
13350s | way in between him |
13352s | and axey and someone is constantly |
13354s | pressuring |
13356s | and that's just brilliant a headshot on |
13357s | the enemy tracer philly don't have an |
13358s | answer |
13360s | and someone's not even like |
13362s | worried about having to get back and |
13363s | like peel for the team like everybody is |
13365s | totally fine there |
13367s | as a |
13369s | man three he's got the hard wire but |
13370s | that's gonna be a biotic grenade yes |
13373s | and someone's even got primal here so |
13375s | you're not you're not really worried at |
13377s | all man these are fundamentals though |
13379s | that philly are stumbling on going up |
13380s | against uh you know a winston widowmaker |
13382s | set up on gibraltar it's been like this |
13384s | since the game is released 5v5 or 6v6 |
13387s | but the fusion cannot figure this out |
13390s | florida looking very very good setting |
13392s | up exit for success here and zeskin's |
13395s | pulse |
13396s | pulse right checkmate |
13397s | what a dab on him at the end of this |
13399s | round in philadelphia fusion i mean |
13401s | they'll be hanging their heads after |
13402s | that one devastating loss of momentum |
13405s | here on gibraltar |
13407s | well we talked so much about this like |
13408s | epic widowmaker battle right |
13411s | we like hardly even saw it uh |
13414s | because |
13415s | someone just dominated there like as |
13417s | soon as we got to the second part of the |
13418s | map he was absolutely dominant there on |
13421s | the high ground uh mn3 was non-existent |
13424s | once they got to that part of the map |
13427s | and it's really because someone just |
13428s | controlled that entire choke |
13430s | these two rookie lineups are trading |
13432s | blows and this series is about to get |
13434s | pretty scary for philadelphia they do |
13436s | have a map pick here that it better be a |
13438s | good one otherwise florida are gonna run |
13440s | away with it and lock them out of the |
13442s | tournament stick around everybody this |
13443s | is not the series you want to be missing |
13445s | map number four is right around the |
13447s | corner |

13694s | florida mayhem are showing us a |
13695s | multitude of different looks and someone |
13697s | is helming all of them this guy can do |
13700s | anything |
13703s | already |
13705s | [Music] |
13720s | someone has to eat the spaghetti |
13722s | someone was just able to follow up clean |
13724s | him up indeed someone's gonna flatten |
13726s | yurio here and dallas field get |
13728s | absolutely |
13732s | [Music] |
13734s | someone trying to clear a few minds he's |
13736s | very very low but he catches violence |
13737s | still somehow |
13741s | when it comes to rookies i think someone |
13743s | is someone that we're really gonna have |
13745s | to start heavily considering as one of |
13747s | the best |
13754s | yeah no doubt about it someone man of |
13756s | the moment and if you heard me say the |
13758s | spaghetti no you didn't someone though |
13761s | keeping it all very much in hand that |
13763s | was an incredible winston defense |
13765s | admittedly admittedly bellas ray on the |
13767s | wrecking ball kind of just you know |
13769s | living his best life out there |
13771s | it looked like the game plan for the |
13772s | philly was kind of non-existent but i've |
13774s | got to say this guy really really shut |
13776s | them down |
13779s | he was he was tremendous there on |
13780s | gibraltar uh |
13782s | really huge difference maker going |
13784s | through that highlight package i mean |
13785s | he's got so many like celebrations |
13787s | dances you know everything he's super |
13789s | animated uh |
13790s | he's our poster i think |
13793s | yeah i i was going to say you know |
13795s | well last year's got to use some of his |
13797s | moves right you won't get fined you |
13798s | still look cool |
13800s | and he's got to start copying someone's |
13802s | stuff |
13807s | i love it it's a high jun will come in |
13809s | here for exe uh and then you'll have a |
13811s | sir majid in fort animo so |
13813s | uh like some of the largest moves we've |
13815s | seen from the florida mayhem so far |
13817s | obviously uh xc coming up for hydra is a |
13820s | interesting one |
13822s | uh i wonder if this means uh you want |
13825s | like could check may play genji here |
13827s | right and you want maybe a tracer look |
13829s | as well and haidron comes in but we see |
13831s | nexi play tracer but look it's it's |
13834s | pushed so i'd be surprised if you get |
13836s | full dive bear in mind yeah like florida |
13838s | are very capable of playing like |
13839s | reinhardt based compositions on this map |
13842s | that's true um you maybe you get like a |
13844s | who knows i mean like a baptized zen set |
13847s | up without without lucio though the |
13849s | reincomp doesn't seem as great right so |
13851s | that might rule that out it's all gunbar |
13853s | there as well just behind sumatra a |
13854s | couple of words of encouragement here to |
13856s | you know this young player who's you |
13858s | know definitely playing the most high |
13860s | stakes match of his overwatch career i |
13862s | think that's sort of safe to say now |
13863s | elimination match they've really made a |
13866s | decently deep run here in the mid-season |
13868s | madness after a disappointing campaign |
13869s | in the kickoff clash |
13871s | and he delivered him map number one |
13872s | right we talked about uh you know just |
13874s | how involved he was and so many of those |
13876s | final blows and really really doing just |
13878s | a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of |
13880s | just eliminating the enemy team he's |
13882s | been he's faced criticism before for |
13885s | being reckless or dying frequently but |
13887s | you know you take that in hand with his |
13889s | offensive power and i think you still |
13891s | say that's a fair compromise |
13893s | absolutely i think for philadelphia here |
13896s | mitch |
13896s | uh no subs on their side |
13898s | uh i think you learned a little bit |
13900s | about like |
13901s | hey what's this team made out of right |
13903s | like they're kind of going toe-to-toe |
13905s | with florida right i think philadelphia |
13907s | probably the favorites for most people |
13908s | coming into the series um |
13911s | you find yourself behind |
13913s | like how do you bounce back out of this |
13915s | right |
13916s | uh |
13917s | because you know to go far in some of |
13919s | these bigger tournaments of the year |
13921s | right you know the the mid-season the |
13922s | playoffs uh |
13924s | you're gonna need to battle out of |
13926s | situations like this um |
13929s | i i think it's it'll be really telling |
13931s | how they come out and look here at this |
13932s | start |
13933s | on push because you know with zest and |
13935s | m3 they have that firepower like we |
13937s | talked about uh to really take it to |
13939s | florida and we've seen it at moments but |
13942s | uh you got to get everybody on the team |
13944s | kind of like on that same page right i |
13945s | think uh you know specifically i think |
13947s | like you know bellatria versus someone i |
13949s | think someone's had a tremendous game |
13951s | where you know bellatria has some |
13952s | moments but uh you know he can play |
13955s | better than what we've seen today |
13957s | again our issue was more with the game |
13959s | plan i think um yeah you know like i |
13962s | think that part of gibraltar the shuttle |
13964s | phase can be really oppressive |
13966s | especially because the attacking widow |
13968s | can only come from tougher ball yeah |
13970s | yeah exactly but the attacking we can |
13971s | only come from like one of four |
13972s | directions and most of them are kind of |
13974s | covered |
13975s | she usually doesn't want to play from |
13976s | the low ground so that rules out half of |
13978s | those options right and |
13980s | if defenders can get to a rhythm it can |
13981s | be punishing so philly have to like try |
13983s | and they have to manufacture some |
13985s | momentum here new queen street pick of |
13988s | theirs so let's see if they've got what |
13989s | it takes |
13991s | i mean that dominant king's row is not |
13993s | it's not that long ago |
13995s | uh |
13996s | he knows like |
13998s | philly could easily come out and put |
14000s | together a dominant performance here on |
14001s | push uh |
14003s | although when you do have to like select |
14005s | a push map right we only have a two in |
14007s | the pool like i feel like all teams are |
14009s | like pretty good at both of them now at |
14011s | this point right but you at least have |
14013s | something you can fall back to on either |
14015s | of them uh where |
14017s | you know it's not as huge an advantage i |
14019s | think it's like picking a map like an |
14020s | escort or a hybrid right but |
14023s | still we know we just saw in king's row |
14025s | what this team's capable of uh against |
14028s | florida |
14029s | i'm more interested now of like one can |
14031s | philadelphia reach that and kind of |
14033s | force us to a game five |
14036s | and what does florida have planned with |
14037s | this lineup that you got in right uh you |
14039s | sub in hydron uh you sub insert majed i |
14042s | think we know what's gonna happen in |
14043s | terms of the supports |
14046s | okay so maybe the sombra player this |
14048s | would be fascinating he would obviously |
14049s | have checkmate on yeah okay would have |
14051s | had him on like a less you know known |
14054s | hero of his |
14056s | so i think florida have maybe identified |
14058s | that bellis rear is a potential weak |
14060s | point here for the fusion if you exploit |
14061s | that wrecking ball and you know place |
14063s | sombra into it you might be able to |
14065s | derive some form of advantage there but |
14066s | it doesn't mean that there's no one to |
14067s | contest mn3 on those longer sight lines |
14069s | here |
14071s | yeah just think about though that the |
14073s | discord orb with the sombre hack onto |
14075s | the wrecking ball i mean |
14078s | that's going to be tough even onto the |
14080s | tracer right if you're able to get a |
14081s | hack off with that damage amp that's |
14083s | going to be tough yeah he's not going to |
14085s | mend three the dive oh it's sublime mn3 |
14089s | sent cartwheeling into the wall |
14091s | and the florida mayhem game plan is |
14093s | revealed in spectacular fashion |
14096s | you see from uh mn3's pfp like just kind |
14100s | of looking everywhere right he's got the |
14101s | tracer coming out from one way uh he's |
14103s | got the sombra from another uh it looks |
14106s | like that'll be hydra on here |
14109s | so uh something on the floor to mayhem |
14112s | side but |
14113s | uh man that sombra looked uh really |
14115s | strong there early on able to come out |
14117s | and get that first pick they also have |
14118s | control of the bot currently right so |
14120s | the bot is uh about 10 meters nothing |
14122s | too significant but still moving a bit |
14124s | so again you know we kind of hinted that |
14126s | this composition might be leveraged to |
14128s | punish the wrecking ball but all the |
14129s | mayhem did there was identify him in |
14131s | three's location and dive on him right |
14134s | they opted out of a neutral because |
14135s | they're not playing a poke composition |
14137s | philly don't get the luxury of sitting |
14138s | back and and trying to you know draw a |
14140s | beat on their opponents with mn3's ash |
14144s | it's still this like um |
14147s | you're not so in the last map right when |
14149s | we saw actually play the widowmaker uh |
14152s | especially on that second point like |
14154s | zest and uh bellatria is like a duo |
14157s | we're not able to really give a lot of |
14159s | trouble to the back line |
14161s | maybe you feel like hey bring surma jet |
14162s | in the mix right you get some extra |
14164s | damage on the zen harmony orb onto the |
14167s | ana right and being able to heal each |
14168s | other make it even harder right for that |
14170s | back line and then also your dive is |
14173s | going to be even strong like your |
14174s | aggression is going to be even stronger |
14176s | right with someone on the doom and then |
14178s | a tracer sombra combination and take |
14181s | advantage of the philadelphia backline |
14182s | right because they're getting no appeal |
14184s | no type of support uh in which you feel |
14186s | like maybe that's where you can kind of |
14188s | find a little bit of a hole a little bit |
14189s | of an advantage so you are countering |
14191s | the wrecking ball without actually |
14192s | focusing the wrecking ball you're just |
14194s | trying to exploit some of the weaknesses |
14196s | of bellasreya's hero choice here by just |
14198s | sort of working around him and you and |
14200s | you trust himself |
14201s | to stave off zest and bella |
14203s | with the help of rupaul in many of these |
14204s | situations |
14206s | yeah exactly uh because we've seen him |
14209s | be able to do that you know with some |
14210s | help uh in the past then also even in |
14213s | this series of time so uh right back |
14215s | into the game |
14217s | someone oh he's a problem isn't he |
14219s | zest absolutely ruined fair and |
14221s | meanwhile i'm god |
14223s | brought to his knees by hydra |
14228s | and they got the philadelphia fusion |
14230s | back it up now so someone's taking a |
14232s | little bit of damage that's going to be |
14233s | mn3 |
14235s | potentially the huge pick off there on |
14237s | sir magenta so |
14239s | just back in the fight i mean keen has |
14241s | been throwing himself into the fray |
14242s | against someone once more |
14245s | really fighting a couple of these you |
14246s | know kills mn3 now i mean like he's you |
14248s | can't touch him really here |
14250s | that was a fast kill though onto him i |
14253s | mean he is out of the equation so |
14255s | fastest |
14257s | that's a summer call back |
14259s | yeah they'll go in favor of the philly |
14261s | fusion uh they'll get the bot moving |
14263s | they'll kind of cross at |
14265s | midway point so they'll get their |
14267s | barrier moving at least |
14270s | but i'm interested to note i'm more |
14273s | looking at like what is kind of the |
14275s | deaths for the florida mayhem supports |
14277s | from like the tracer |
14280s | in the |
14281s | ball combination so that's a full spawn |
14283s | that goes on to someone so you get the |
14284s | tank from the florida mayhem out of the |
14285s | way should be able to move that barrier |
14288s | even further up see the hydrant got shot |
14290s | out of the fight completely there if you |
14291s | hit if you hit sombra with dynamite she |
14293s | cannot hack until the top stops taking |
14295s | damage it interrupts that channel |
14297s | obviously so i don't just like i'm |
14298s | bugging this i'm out of here i'm just |
14299s | gonna go heal up |
14301s | nice little bit of tech there from mn3 |
14304s | intentional or otherwise |
14305s | hydrant returns to the frey soon enough |
14308s | gets the hack on zest and splats and |
14310s | look at that that is a discord the hack |
14313s | and then the nano boosted doom right on |
14315s | top uh there's nothing he can do means |
14318s | zero |
14319s | time to react |
14321s | and again the hack duration is shorter |
14324s | but even a short window can be exploited |
14325s | there by the fusion mm3's bob is slipped |
14327s | everything's going wrong for philly |
14328s | right now |
14331s | the hack duration |
14335s | is short yes but |
14337s | now right there when you get that damage |
14339s | down and then also amp the damage of |
14341s | sombra being able to finish some off |
14343s | some of these kills |
14344s | you see someone |
14346s | got in trouble |
14348s | someone hydron and checkmate just like |
14350s | as a three-person unit just |
14353s | roaming the map just searching for |
14355s | players who are a little bit too split |
14357s | no supports in sight |
14359s | they want to pick up those kills so this |
14361s | is always a test of rookies in game |
14364s | can you can you adapt mid-round without |
14367s | coaches input or interaction because |
14369s | they need to come up with an answer to |
14370s | this software composition they may even |
14372s | get to pick and choose their target and |
14373s | more often than not they're able to |
14374s | dispatch it with this excellent |
14376s | coordination they're displaying another |
14378s | hack another death |
14379s | again got down rather fighting three |
14381s | from that high perch was able to find a |
14383s | key kill on someone |
14385s | and god provides |
14387s | yeah now before aim god goes down he's |
14389s | actually able to kill checkmate which is |
14391s | huge |
14392s | they jump on aim god and within this |
14394s | second of being uh able to take him out |
14396s | he's not actually able to use that |
14397s | transcendence so |
14399s | uh |
14400s | looks like he'll have fellow stream fall |
14402s | here towards the end hydron's still |
14404s | alive i was gonna say is there a chance |
14406s | like hydra like tries to spawn camp |
14407s | another high oh they get a hack |
14409s | yep |
14410s | now if there's old enough to get the |
14411s | recall if there's more than three |
14413s | players maybe that's a kill on zest but |
14414s | he's able to escape because you pointed |
14416s | out |
14418s | still i mean |
14420s | puts the fear of whatever deity you |
14421s | serve uh in your opponent when you |
14423s | hacked him like that and just jumped |
14426s | test again got a full foul the hack |
14428s | again he's just having a recall that's |
14429s | dude i like that check mate doesn't |
14431s | quite make the prediction though |
14433s | a little late i think you dropped it a |
14434s | little earlier i think it would have |
14436s | been uh |
14436s | it's one of those situations where |
14437s | better late than never doesn't really |
14439s | apply |
14440s | much down though better is able to find |
14442s | the zenyatta here |
14443s | someone always in the mix to try and |
14445s | trade with the wrecking ball starting |
14446s | now to have some impact |
14448s | what is moving forward i still have to |
14450s | leave but someone is |
14451s | believed to say the least |
14454s | yes it's gonna be the philadelphia |
14456s | fusion bouncing back for the fight when |
14458s | able to take the lead |
14460s | they're gonna get to the checkpoint here |
14462s | they have to use all their ultimates to |
14463s | do it they have fixed a nail on the brig |
14467s | let's see if the emp could come in here |
14470s | hydrangea trying to figure out |
14472s | the best targets the best times a few |
14474s | players up there at the high ground |
14476s | yeah i mean obviously aim god dies |
14478s | instantly basically if hydra is able to |
14480s | shoot him after the emp |
14484s | someone here |
14485s | actually just trying to get a bit of |
14486s | information for the time being |
14488s | he sees bella's rear at the back here |
14491s | you'll know there'll be a wrapping flank |
14493s | here on that right-hand side for the |
14494s | ball do mayhem definitely need to make a |
14496s | move though they are behind we're in the |
14498s | halfway point of the round just past it |
14499s | here hydra is still holding his emp man |
14502s | yeah i think they're actually trying to |
14504s | with someone there what we were seeing |
14505s | he's just trying to find a target i |
14507s | think and |
14508s | a little bit scarier to go after that |
14510s | zen when the brig is in the mix now |
14512s | right |
14513s | yeah i mean not that it wasn't scary |
14515s | enough already that's it mn3 picks up |
14517s | hydron at a distance that emp gives you |
14520s | nothing mn3 starting to control that |
14522s | higher ground this is something we |
14523s | highlighted right there's no long range |
14525s | opposition for mn3 so how will it be |
14527s | kept in check well mate's got it |
14530s | philly though |
14531s | want to keep advancing here and another |
14533s | wrecking ball inclusion from bellatreya |
14535s | bot is still going for the fusion |
14539s | do you switch off of this if you're the |
14540s | florida mayhem like what are your |
14542s | thoughts you don't have an emp here you |
14544s | don't have pulse bomb i think you |
14545s | probably a tracer seems to be like the |
14549s | the one consistent pick against like all |
14551s | compositions uh |
14553s | do you consider trying to throw |
14554s | something else in the mix here |
14557s | this may well be like their |
14558s | anti-wrecking ball protocol |
14560s | on this map |
14562s | or anti-doom as well as we've often seen |
14564s | it used against teams like atlanta and |
14566s | houston |
14569s | doesn't look like he's really inclined |
14570s | to make that switch promise he can't |
14571s | really contest so if he's like the last |
14573s | player he has to just watch the bot go |
14576s | i don't take a ton of damage there |
14578s | potentially from burn it's unclear |
14579s | there's damage over time either way |
14582s | florida are a little bit disarray right |
14584s | now good pressure but they someone can't |
14586s | break through here great hold by this |
14588s | back line as aim god gets rid of him |
14591s | and they now know sir machete and he |
14592s | just like |
14594s | there's a bunch of players dead at that |
14595s | point she kind of jumps down from that |
14598s | high ground getting sloppy |
14600s | yeah i wonder if it was like maybe even |
14602s | meant for someone and you know up in the |
14604s | high ground just kind of someone walked |
14605s | into a uh someone's head walked in the |
14607s | line of scientists |
14608s | yeah this is |
14610s | this is starting to look like the philly |
14611s | fusion we saw in king's row right where |
14614s | they were just putting up a tremendous |
14616s | performance |
14618s | philadelphia are recovering here the |
14619s | mayhem again three is yep again not he's |
14622s | not contested |
14623s | might have been a big error |
14625s | you know going towards a sombra instead |
14627s | of trying to match longer range hit scan |
14628s | because philly is starting to make this |
14630s | a bit of a blowout now |
14632s | zest |
14633s | he's hunting |
14637s | even when he doesn't really need to |
14638s | you're getting close to finishing the |
14639s | map and this will be the rally oh what |
14641s | is to give some over health everybody |
14644s | okay clearly over 100 here this is |
14647s | dangerous for the mayhem with only two |
14648s | minutes left in the round i ain't got |
14649s | hack though so i can chase him down |
14651s | getting value out of the sombra here is |
14652s | imperative |
14656s | what's terrible for florida as well is |
14658s | they don't have the checkpoint currently |
14659s | right so when the bot goes all the way |
14661s | the other way |
14662s | it's gonna stop for a period of time |
14663s | yeah so like even if i'm contested here |
14666s | you're looking to start to get to your |
14667s | barrier |
14668s | with probably what like a minute and ten |
14671s | a minute a minute on the clock right uh |
14675s | you know best case right here's some |
14676s | kind of stall coming to hydra |
14679s | yeah so you're in a real top spot you |
14681s | need a faster oh |
14683s | this is enough |
14684s | the window is so slim hydrant hacked aim |
14686s | god if i'm not mistaken and then emp but |
14689s | i ain't got managed to get a |
14689s | transcendence in between oh yeah mm3 |
14691s | still goes down but that's quite |
14693s | remarkable you know itself the robot |
14695s | still needs the button |
14697s | he moved back i pushed the other way |
14698s | though zest was on it like the ball was |
14701s | about like towards the mid point here |
14703s | and zest actually got on it and pushed |
14704s | it back a little bit so that bites |
14706s | philadelphia even some more time |
14710s | all right the minefield could be a |
14711s | problem in overtime for florida as well |
14713s | hydron down him in three picks him off |
14716s | pulse bomb though is a good one on a |
14717s | fixer and someone you're gonna go |
14718s | aggressive with this one mm3 there's no |
14720s | escape |
14721s | so it looks like |
14723s | something i'm saying this butt scratch |
14724s | on the menu |
14726s | is bellasria |
14728s | not advised to try and stall here |
14731s | yeah it's uh just let it go |
14733s | let's get this checkpoint 30 seconds to |
14735s | go |
14736s | aim god gonna switch off of the zen and |
14738s | go to ana so maybe feel like uh you |
14741s | could get a sleep here on to whether |
14743s | it's someone or hydrant the biotic |
14745s | grenade could be big it's like a |
14748s | defensive use oh they're gonna try and |
14750s | nano sir majed here on the flank i love |
14752s | that he's the distraction though and |
14753s | then someone comes in from a different |
14755s | angle and disrupts the backline of the |
14756s | fusion in a huge way and yet it's still |
14758s | going to be a trade event three is able |
14759s | to deal with checkmate that might end up |
14761s | being a huge kill and here's the nano |
14763s | sir my jet looking for his next target |
14765s | but |
14766s | down to presenting themselves trying to |
14768s | chase ballistria down but he's gonna try |
14769s | and break line aside and someone's under |
14771s | a lot of pressure right now special |
14773s | delivery possessed it's air mail |
14775s | straight to rupaul's forehead and have |
14777s | all claimed the honor someone's in a lot |
14779s | of trouble burning down now and the |
14780s | overtime scenario goes as we feared as |
14782s | the philadelphia fusion they're forcing |
14785s | a map five |
14787s | so that is the philadelphia fusion i |
14789s | think people expected to see in this |
14791s | series today they saw it on king's row |
14794s | you see it here on toronto to force this |
14797s | game five |
14799s | i just don't think the florida mayhem |
14800s | really got things clicking with that |
14802s | sombra composition a bit of a gamble |
14804s | here |
14805s | doesn't pay off excited to see what they |
14807s | bring into this fifth game though cool |
14808s | man way to make it spicy so many of |
14810s | these elimination games are going all |
14812s | the way and we wouldn't have it any |
14814s | other way stick around everybody it's |
14816s | time to decide the fate of the mayhem |
14818s | and the fusion only one can advance in |
14821s | this lower bracket |
14848s | [Music] |
14885s | [Music] |
14892s | [Music] |
14906s | [Music] |
14920s | [Music] |
14937s | [Music] |
15039s | [Music] |
15046s | well here it is four maps of incredible |
15050s | and rather swingy overwatch later we're |
15053s | here in our map number five and the one |
15055s | question is |
15056s | who's got more left in the tank to make |
15059s | him losing that fourth map they get to |
15061s | select map five but whichever way you |
15063s | slice it it's gonna be a control map |
15065s | and i'm just gonna put it out there |
15067s | philadelphia map fives |
15069s | not exactly a match made in heaven uh |
15072s | that's putting it lightly so it's time |
15074s | to break the curse if they want to |
15075s | advance |
15077s | and you see some subs coming in here |
15079s | before the florida mayhem and i think |
15081s | they're quite interesting so xc coming |
15083s | back i think uh you know if you're not |
15085s | going to play the sombra that seems like |
15086s | what they kind of have hydra and working |
15088s | on now |
15088s | that makes sense animo comes in for |
15090s | sermon jet uh their map selection is |
15093s | also legion tower uh |
15096s | does i mean this kind of like at least |
15098s | to me uh seems like are we gonna see |
15101s | like some rhinos |
15103s | uh lucio type action uh or maybe |
15108s | yeah i mean some decision-based stuff i |
15110s | mean you can still play like maybe they |
15112s | want the brigitte in the mix uh on some |
15114s | of these compositions as well |
15116s | uh |
15116s | i think it's a really interesting call |
15118s | here |
15119s | do we get that from philadelphia orion |
15122s | lucio based |
15124s | rush looking styles |
15126s | again uh we've seen a lot of teams on |
15128s | control center especially offer genji |
15130s | that's absolutely hero |
15132s | in both checkmate and zest's wheelhouses |
15136s | both of them have actually displayed |
15137s | really impressive performances on them |
15139s | and xc comes back in right so we know |
15141s | we're probably not going to see any sort |
15142s | of sombra-esque strategy it's probably |
15145s | going to be hard hitting dps coming out |
15148s | from both of those longer range hits |
15149s | again here's the road ahead for the team |
15151s | fortunate enough to to advance here so |
15154s | obviously loser goes home and like i |
15156s | said for the winner it's a match up |
15158s | against the loser of hangzhou |
15161s | and the gladiators |
15163s | i mean that is uh |
15167s | these matchups are just insane like uh |
15171s | you know johnny actually picks the spark |
15173s | in that match yes |
15174s | i love it it |
15176s | it's a it's a little bit of a wild card |
15179s | pick but you know |
15181s | i'm just saying |
15182s | shy versus padapod that's some spot |
15186s | shy is crazy good uh |
15190s | you know another type of player like we |
15191s | talked about like xc and mn3 that could |
15193s | just dominate |
15194s | a lobby uh |
15197s | we'll see what the florida mayhem have |
15198s | cooking up here for this final map this |
15200s | was their map selection |
15203s | control center first if you were trying |
15205s | to play some reinhardt lucio stuff i |
15207s | mean you could not |
15208s | get a better map here first and yeah it |
15210s | looks like that's what they're hovering |
15212s | out here early on so interesting enough |
15215s | that they go back to this when it did |
15218s | not work on king's row uh king's row |
15221s | obviously very very different uh fury |
15224s | was able to play the sigma be on the |
15225s | high ground a lot of the time |
15227s | uh |
15228s | you know |
15229s | it was just he was just dominant |
15231s | domination from philadelphia |
15235s | can you run this wrecking ball set up |
15237s | here against this |
15239s | florida mayhem |
15241s | brian heart based composition it's yeah |
15243s | maybe it's more of a matter of will you |
15244s | want you as bellasreya the acquiesces |
15247s | it's going to be a wrecking ball versus |
15249s | reinhardt match up |
15250s | philly with the baptist zen look here |
15252s | florida with a pretty classic uh the |
15254s | composition that london really pushed |
15255s | right reinhardt rush with the may in |
15257s | there as well baptiste |
15259s | and lucio |
15262s | this is going to be a background sojourn |
15264s | yeah soldier seems to fit into any |
15266s | composition is |
15269s | not here he's being snuck up on |
15272s | jay mate holds it upon down |
15274s | aim god falls there to the endothermic |
15276s | blaster and zest is very hardly any |
15278s | better but i know he's under a lot of |
15279s | pressure bellatoria drops in this is |
15281s | going to be a scrappy affair but florida |
15284s | may have come out on top as that dust |
15285s | starts to settle a little bit but that's |
15287s | right able to find checkmate late in the |
15289s | fight but it's just it is too late |
15291s | hello |
15292s | yeah definitely too late so emma and |
15295s | three up there just kind of firing shut |
15296s | someone someone was quite low i actually |
15298s | thought he was going to fall first and |
15299s | philly was going to come out on top but |
15301s | a speed boost around the corner and |
15303s | check right up in his face solo |
15305s | one clip solo kills zest |
15308s | leads the league in lows and now you're |
15310s | seeing why trying to force the ice block |
15311s | out of check mate but he's a little too |
15313s | canny for that apparently someone though |
15314s | might be a decent candidate for this |
15316s | delivery and there it is that's another |
15317s | possessed someone goes down and animals |
15320s | in better days oh that discord made it |
15323s | awful hard to stick around what a way to |
15325s | open the fight for zest |
15327s | yes his tracer has been clean all series |
15330s | long like you know and mn3 has had some |
15334s | he's had a lot of good moments in the |
15335s | series like you kind of think back to |
15337s | gibraltar when it was really slowed down |
15340s | uh you know that's kind of the |
15342s | consistent player for the philadelphia |
15344s | fusion throughout is they'll have a |
15346s | minefield here set up so could be pretty |
15349s | good against this comp right florida |
15350s | needs to play close together |
15353s | just again hunting |
15355s | florida clumping up as their composition |
15357s | allows for |
15359s | constant pressure but that's going to be |
15361s | relieved by a nice kill to the cranium |
15364s | checkmate's effort to stave obsess and |
15365s | then destroy fix it this is a great look |
15368s | from florida right now someone may have |
15370s | gone down let's see how key he is to the |
15371s | planet at this point in the fight but |
15373s | the fusion don't really have the |
15373s | personnel to force anything to be back |
15376s | to the mayhem |
15378s | yeah i feel like at that point the |
15379s | damage is done right as florida will get |
15382s | the point back in their favor philly not |
15384s | even able to get up to 50 percent uh how |
15387s | do you get used to blizzard here |
15388s | like i i find this to be |
15392s | difficult uh you know maybe it's just to |
15394s | try and get the back line uh you're just |
15396s | gonna try and go after the zen rig |
15398s | uh with the blizzard because those are |
15400s | really the two like stationary targets |
15402s | everybody else has tons of mobility |
15404s | that was really lucky to get away there |
15406s | the main wall almost |
15408s | claimed him would have trapped him in |
15409s | there with his enemies checkmate has to |
15411s | ice block there he had a discord on him |
15413s | as well animo gets the sound barrier |
15415s | it's not interrupted but who's |
15416s | benefiting from it's just checkmate |
15417s | really that's a big investment to make |
15419s | in one teammate and checkmate eventually |
15421s | is failed anyway and then three's gotta |
15423s | connect those but actually shuts him |
15424s | down with a rail of his own bellasreya |
15426s | though dealing with the offending |
15427s | sojourn it's a big slam bella knocked to |
15431s | the ground and someone cleaned him up |
15432s | and the may have moved to 75 to 47. |
15437s | they have to use everything to do it but |
15440s | the fusion with some of the switches |
15441s | they've made you know you had the |
15443s | transcendence you haven't been able to |
15444s | build up like a secondary support office |
15446s | no rally nowhere close to being online |
15448s | and what are you relying on right now |
15450s | zest to make a play as someone gets |
15452s | taken out that's a discord with some |
15454s | extra damage coming through someone |
15455s | trying to follow up with the blizzard |
15457s | apparently but actually loses this |
15458s | sojourn duel mn3 comes out on top and |
15461s | philly are able to kind of swap through |
15463s | the mayhem and they'll have to flip as |
15465s | well below has to respect check mate he |
15467s | tries to store with an ice block on the |
15468s | point but it comes a second too late and |
15471s | that will give philly the advantage for |
15472s | the time being but all florida need is |
15474s | one fight win |
15477s | so what are you looking at here for this |
15478s | next fight uh ant matrix probably comes |
15481s | down do you do like a minefield near it |
15483s | right to force people out of |
15485s | uh you know that area so you're not able |
15487s | to get the big you know damage buff from |
15489s | that could be crucial |
15491s | probably what you're looking at here |
15493s | maybe just kind of like around the |
15495s | corner and you hit the sand matrix |
15497s | goddess rave is passing through for the |
15499s | time being |
15500s | animo okay zest in his way he's worried |
15502s | about where that trace is going he takes |
15503s | the mega himself seth doubles back but |
15505s | now that i have a split they are split |
15507s | up by bellatreya they're trying to |
15508s | regroup here you can see |
15510s | the checkmates left on his own |
15512s | so all the main have to back away |
15513s | because they realize you're in such a |
15514s | weak position |
15518s | yes this has taken so long to develop it |
15520s | like florida's speeding around the |
15521s | mountain |
15522s | and now it's actually taking out aim |
15524s | guard that's a big opening here zest can |
15526s | still equalize but he eats a fire strike |
15527s | from someone that's all falling apart |
15530s | for the fusion here to make him a fourth |
15532s | place to work with banners for his |
15533s | minefields having at least claimed |
15534s | arnhem over wearing the fusion a stick |
15536s | of root pile he couldn't get away from |
15537s | it though we mortality field for him now |
15539s | obsessed having to go against three |
15541s | trying to stay alive but it's just not |
15543s | going to be enough the maywall will |
15545s | compound the issue further and the |
15547s | mayhem take the first round in this |
15549s | fifth map |
15552s | it still comes down to the wire where |
15554s | now you're playing this composition for |
15556s | the philly fusion |
15557s | pretty much like the entire series right |
15560s | and you've been banking on it and |
15562s | i know right now here at the end i |
15563s | actually think this map's probably the |
15565s | best draw they could have gotten uh |
15568s | you know as the next stage i think |
15571s | you can use the wrecking ball here and |
15572s | be a little bit more effective uh lucio |
15576s | moira composition here potentially for |
15578s | the florida mayhem |
15580s | uh |
15581s | i don't love the combo uh i i think you |
15584s | just miss out on a ton of utility with |
15586s | like anna with the sleep the biotic |
15589s | grenade the nano boost |
15591s | but if you're going to play as like a |
15594s | you know suit of death ball right and |
15595s | run around with the doomfist uh moira |
15598s | does provide a lot of just healing you |
15601s | gotta strike first and strike hard with |
15603s | this setup |
15604s | so the mayhem take point |
15606s | first the lucio speed boost giving them |
15608s | the natural leg up there |
15613s | [Music] |
15616s | already picked fix it out with a |
15617s | beautiful rail headshot |
15619s | what a start for the mayhem here to try |
15621s | and end the series |
15624s | oh no |
15626s | oh it's knocked off the side but |
15628s | you know time and time again on the |
15630s | sojourn he's able to come up with these |
15631s | first picks is |
15633s | now ash obviously really good for the |
15635s | consistent damage |
15637s | just and also has like one shot |
15639s | potential right but not to the level of |
15641s | sojourn and i also think with surgery |
15643s | you just don't know how charged up the |
15645s | rail is at any time right you could be |
15647s | going in and you can yeah you don't |
15648s | really save not a lot of damage or you |
15651s | know it's a fully charged up rail and |
15652s | you're just gone love that switch of |
15654s | focus there is aim god is identified as |
15656s | a great target but someone ends up |
15658s | having to give up his life for that is |
15659s | it gonna be worth it checkmate is trying |
15661s | to make sure it is but he eventually |
15662s | goes down to mn3 |
15664s | actually knocked into mn3's part so has |
15667s | to very quickly try and rectify that as |
15669s | zest moves in to start the cap close to |
15671s | a pulse bomb he is here but he's |
15673s | unwilling to fully commit |
15675s | the maim are playing for the fringes now |
15676s | as their doomfist returns to the fight |
15678s | and they're going to solidify their |
15679s | control for now |
15681s | yes you're actually able to get back to |
15683s | full strength here for the florida |
15685s | mayhem is name gone back now for the |
15687s | philly fusion |
15690s | 50 percent it seems like they're just |
15692s | trying to figure out where to attack |
15693s | this from |
15694s | that's perfect i mean a little bit of a |
15696s | a different route there to make him |
15697s | leave the point in order to dive mn3 but |
15699s | they get the ash out of the picture now |
15702s | they can go forward platinum was taken |
15703s | down by a minefield though as bellas |
15705s | reyes trying to get some defensive |
15706s | structures in lieu of his opponents on |
15708s | the point and it's looking good for |
15709s | philly exits brought down bella's ray |
15711s | now just rolling around the edges here |
15713s | someone is low and checkmate has to |
15715s | recall here and long fight not good for |
15717s | the moira compositions as we see |
15720s | mayhem brought down it's really moved |
15722s | into residence here but at 74 already |
15724s | for florida matt yeah |
15726s | it took a long time to develop uh they |
15730s | are finally able to just kind of like |
15732s | outlast |
15733s | uh the florida mayhem and their |
15735s | composition is |
15736s | and now all the pressure on florida how |
15738s | would he break back in a few ultimates |
15740s | online for philly |
15742s | you know |
15743s | looks like someone like one tight over |
15744s | the top and you're gonna follow this up |
15746s | yeah has to be a transcendence here x he |
15748s | doesn't care about that of course |
15749s | bob in play for m3 so actually doesn't |
15752s | want to fully commit now as bella's real |
15753s | rolls through and someone is failed bob |
15756s | gets the john job done for him and three |
15757s | and that's two for him in this fight |
15759s | a lot of ultimates had to be spent but |
15761s | the mayhem had their fair share of them |
15763s | too |
15765s | yeah it's uh as soon as someone dies |
15767s | that pretty much all falls apart there |
15769s | and didn't want to use the overclock he |
15771s | actually got fixed pretty low didn't |
15772s | want to use the overclock because the |
15773s | transcendence was still rolling you pick |
15775s | up kills through but just really risky |
15778s | so you end up using the sound barrier |
15779s | there rally for some over health gonna |
15782s | be able to come in for the philly fusion |
15783s | is someone gets in there real fast yeah |
15786s | big guy but a pulse bomb will send |
15788s | someone packing almost as quickly as he |
15790s | arrived now that may him are in an |
15792s | awkward spot if this gets dragged out |
15793s | any further |
15795s | they might be in trouble 65 and counting |
15797s | that fight will bring philly even with |
15799s | the mayhem |
15801s | this next fight the most important |
15804s | and this is where like you know them |
15806s | the moira provides the healing but like |
15808s | you know the biotic grenade or a nano |
15810s | right if you get hit with a pulse bomb |
15812s | for the damage reduction to you know |
15814s | trying to live through it |
15816s | it's sort of the honor makes a big |
15817s | difference right look at zest constantly |
15820s | hurrying |
15820s | like a hornet |
15823s | xc has not used that ultimate yet |
15826s | still sitting on it it's time to go |
15827s | though overclock fired off him in three |
15829s | a little bit lower aim god takes a big |
15831s | head he'll charge forward and claim mn3 |
15833s | with a headshot that was unnecessary at |
15834s | that point fixer also going down but |
15837s | he's off the map bella's rear gets rid |
15839s | of the hot shot xc but philly don't have |
15841s | the players they may try and regroup but |
15842s | sisters snuck onto the point now while |
15844s | they dive and it comes up behind |
15845s | checkmates philly here at 99 here the |
15847s | mayhem lose control the round is over |
15850s | really not worried about the point get |
15852s | clearly a zest backs away they have a |
15854s | buffer and they're allowing the mayhem |
15855s | to get some percentage but now it's |
15857s | trying to hit the point if someone's |
15858s | down |
15859s | yeah someone pushed up it was mn3 it's a |
15861s | headshot hits a hedgehog on a rupaul as |
15863s | well this is going to be a flip they |
15865s | have lucio in play the mayhem animo can |
15867s | dip on and keep that over time going and |
15869s | he does so checkmate's forced to recall |
15871s | early and the bob is going to be |
15872s | deployed here by mn3 someone's on the |
15874s | scene but xc goes the other way ships in |
15876s | the night they pass each other as |
15877s | teammates and it's gonna be the |
15879s | philadelphia fusion cleaning up bob |
15881s | throwing to the point of rupaul barely |
15882s | touches the ground |
15884s | philly just bring it back in overtime |
15887s | and it wouldn't be a philly game if we |
15888s | didn't go all the damn way |
15892s | long as you can possibly go |
15895s | in the series |
15898s | so we will i i do not want to see the |
15903s | moira uh lucio combo again yeah i i much |
15907s | prefer |
15909s | what we're seeing the florida mayhem |
15910s | hover with this |
15912s | anna and brick setup |
15916s | yeah this is uh yeah see someone comes |
15918s | in to try and |
15919s | get okay uh get a kill there on uh he |
15923s | was actually looking for zest there |
15924s | because this was quite low didn't have |
15925s | recall oh uh but did not expect mn3 to |
15929s | be right there there's a lot of |
15930s | disruption there bellasreya fixer on the |
15932s | brigitte as well coach gunn to knock |
15934s | someone back it's hard out there |
15936s | for the doom to connect |
15938s | and it all comes down to this the final |
15940s | round on lee young tower only one of |
15942s | these teams can advance in our |
15944s | mid-season madness tournament |
15947s | you got a god tell him to take the wheel |
15952s | they go through this gruelling series |
15953s | just to play the loser gladiator spark |
15957s | as uh that'll be xe |
15960s | opens things up |
15961s | on the sojourn with a nice rail shot on |
15963s | mn3 is |
15965s | i feel like when you have the sojourn in |
15966s | this type of scenario and you can play |
15968s | more aggressive right i think this is |
15970s | where it was really working out well |
15972s | for the florida mayhem as fellow trying |
15974s | to get on the point contest this will be |
15976s | florida able to take it first says a lot |
15978s | actually when philadelphia's dps are the |
15980s | the first two players would drop there |
15981s | and fellas ray is not able to |
15983s | interpose himself in between florida and |
15985s | the rest of his team |
15986s | so a great start for the mayhem here |
15989s | bouncing back after a bit of a chaotic |
15990s | previous round and now xc can get |
15993s | entrenched in a pretty safe spot zest |
15995s | really has to go hunting here she wants |
15997s | to pressure any of these backliners |
15999s | and also like you know rupaul can play |
16002s | from a safer position and if you wanted |
16004s | to you can follow up |
16005s | someone with a biotic grenade like when |
16007s | he kind of comes out collapses down on |
16009s | some of the players on the other team |
16011s | he's so piled down |
16013s | someone wanted to call and dive there |
16014s | but realize now that's not possible so |
16017s | rotates to a defensive position while |
16018s | still being able to contest the point |
16019s | here |
16020s | mayhem gonna try and drag this out |
16022s | actually somehow have to get a lie away |
16023s | alive rather but bella runs him down |
16026s | someone probably realizing now that the |
16028s | odds of being a hole here a low so stall |
16031s | it is for the mayhem 48 and counting now |
16033s | outermost shield |
16034s | allowing him to staunchly hold the point |
16036s | for a time |
16038s | but eventually this will be a philly cat |
16041s | that's still you're getting good |
16042s | percentage here from this stall from the |
16044s | florida man finally goes over |
16047s | uh |
16047s | not an insignificant amount of time |
16049s | there or there |
16051s | they're just kind of stalling it out |
16052s | philly now gains control yay like you |
16054s | mentioned someone was trying to call a |
16055s | dive but |
16057s | nobody died nobody coming out |
16062s | fellas right again |
16064s | keeping tabs on check mate the mines |
16066s | could be devastating here rallies in |
16067s | play always let the mines go good |
16070s | heavens |
16071s | the mayan i want to shrug them off for |
16072s | the most part though animals rally in |
16074s | play and aim god is failed to make him |
16076s | reach their intended target to someone |
16078s | rip some limb from limb it's only m3 |
16080s | able to stand up now and that's just not |
16082s | going to cut the mustard |
16084s | because rupaul backs away he's able to |
16086s | hold on to that nano good to see you i |
16088s | mean sick play from him but just look at |
16090s | how more effective like that on it is |
16091s | right about putting shots at distance |
16094s | right into someone right some damage |
16096s | down into bel belseria yeah you have |
16099s | zest coming in right and he gets right |
16100s | in his face there's a biotic grenade at |
16102s | the ground puts a shot into him like |
16104s | uh didn't even have to use the nano |
16106s | there i also hit his sleep so just like |
16108s | tremendous utility with ana in the |
16110s | mixers |
16112s | uh i i think if you're a florida mayhem |
16114s | fan you'd love to see this more than |
16115s | kind of some of the moira comps |
16118s | what about safe positioning here rupaul |
16120s | still being pressured from this spot |
16122s | wait did they hit bob |
16124s | unclear if they actually slept him or |
16125s | not rupaul's gonna fall to aim god |
16127s | either way at long range but it's 90 and |
16129s | counting to mayhem though are in trouble |
16131s | this transcendence really makes it |
16132s | harder to get anything going after |
16134s | losing a player so they'll have to |
16135s | concede here and |
16136s | theoretically not commit any more to |
16138s | this fight |
16140s | that's totally fine though if you're the |
16141s | florida man they had to use a ton of uh |
16143s | stuff to get in the door you come back |
16145s | you have a pulse bomb which is in you |
16147s | know an ability that can just open the |
16149s | game up for you just on its own |
16151s | you also have the ability to nano |
16153s | someone and he can go make a play as we |
16155s | see many doomfists do |
16157s | you're still in a really good spot here |
16158s | if you're the florida mayhem really have |
16160s | to hold the point indefinitely if they |
16161s | want to advance good start though zest |
16164s | tasting initiative and removes arnimo |
16167s | from the equation |
16168s | from the mayhem don't fancy working |
16170s | through that kind of calculus oh wait a |
16172s | time i'll check mate looks to flank |
16174s | if you lose another player here though |
16176s | like that's going to be like a solid 30 |
16178s | percent probably |
16180s | over to the philly fusion check my pulse |
16181s | doesn't just offer that pulse bomb |
16184s | nothing for checkmate though |
16186s | 76 and counting this he's getting a |
16188s | little dicey |
16190s | [Music] |
16192s | this is where legends are born matt |
16195s | mc3 with two crucial headshots now it's |
16198s | philly lose control the point though |
16199s | they need to keep an eye on that |
16202s | big kill from mn3 and he's controlling |
16203s | this face now someone it's nobody |
16206s | dropped to the ground affiliate now in |
16207s | control and this is now |
16209s | last ditch territory for the mayhem xc |
16212s | switches to the castle you'd better be |
16214s | enough |
16216s | yeah and you know you uh rupaul downing |
16218s | at the end here is he's gonna go to the |
16220s | lucio is coming even though he'll be on |
16221s | checkmate to get a touch just check my |
16223s | recalls here |
16225s | where are the rest of them though |
16226s | someone needs to make the push and he |
16227s | does he's on the point zested with the |
16229s | seismic slam dynamite throwing out |
16231s | that's a lot of good damage and badass |
16232s | three is going to threaten on the |
16233s | outside xe marks the spotted mn3 finds |
16236s | the treasure it was the frag rally the |
16238s | castle he's out of the picture now and |
16239s | m3 finds another one but someone's |
16241s | keeping his team in it two kills for the |
16243s | mayhem's doomfist now and zest has to |
16244s | respect |
16246s | but there's no chance either of these |
16247s | teams are leaving the point now rupaul a |
16250s | little off bellas reyes looking okay bob |
16252s | sent off the map but that's the pulse to |
16253s | end them all sas fights rupaul knows |
16256s | that no lucio in the fight at all here |
16258s | for the make him an m3 has a safe |
16259s | position to play from artemo falls |
16262s | bullet between the shoulder blades and |
16263s | actually finds one between his eyes |
16265s | the philadelphia fusion have done it in |
16267s | overtime |
16269s | three to two victory and they will |
16270s | advance in the mid-season madness |
16273s | tournaments |
16275s | oh |
16276s | some |
16277s | absolutely clutch plays there at the end |
16281s | from the philly |
16282s | [Music] |
16284s | as |
16285s | you know florida they they they put |
16287s | together a really good series |
16289s | better than i think a lot of people |
16291s | thought but just come up a little bit |
16293s | short and |
16294s | i think if you're in florida you go back |
16296s | look at some of those compositions and |
16298s | yeah maybe you can work on some of those |
16300s | and |
16301s | man just i feel like at the end there |
16303s | specifically though |
16305s | like zest and mn3 just took over |
16308s | like you know when you have those fights |
16310s | and they get chaotic and they get |
16312s | separated |
16313s | and |
16314s | you know dps can make an impact find you |
16316s | know an opening |
16317s | you know mn3 at the end was able to get |
16319s | like two three head shots like you know |
16321s | zest coming up with pulse bomb kills i i |
16323s | think actually probably the biggest kill |
16324s | that round like it's gonna sound super |
16326s | bizarre is the solo pulse bomb stick on |
16329s | the animal yeah uh |
16331s | because that gives them about like 20 |
16332s | percent extra extra point probably i |
16335s | mean that was three that might have been |
16336s | i think was that was that rupaul on the |
16338s | on the uh lucio actually he switched |
16340s | over to try and touch the point at the |
16341s | end yeah and we talk about these mn3 |
16343s | solo kills incredible that he's able to |
16346s | provide so many of those at uh crucial |
16347s | moments but zest there in in that in |
16350s | that moment as the tracer we talked |
16352s | about how leads the league in those solo |
16354s | kills per 10 and |
16356s | he found it when he truly needed it |
16357s | let's talk about our player the match |
16358s | here matt uh so many to choose from the |
16360s | on the fusion side they're already |
16361s | floundered midway through the series but |
16362s | they're dps that really carried them |
16364s | forward and in those last moments in my |
16366s | opinion player of the match is going to |
16368s | have to be mn3 what a legendary moment |
16371s | there in those final seconds |
16373s | kill after kill |
16375s | what a way to finish off an incredible |
16377s | series of overwatch |
16379s | and it's not even just the |
16381s | like first picks from mn3 that are like |
16384s | super impressive it's you know |
16386s | philadelphia fusion starting off a fight |
16387s | down a player and then he just like |
16388s | comes up with three uh and you know just |
16390s | landing these headshots out of nowhere |
16392s | especially at the end there on lichen |
16394s | tower but |
16395s | uh him and zest is a combo and you got |
16398s | zest rolling on the tracer and this |
16400s | level of pressure and you know hit scan |
16403s | dominance back there |
16404s | uh you get the rest of the team kind of |
16406s | right |
16407s | they're gonna be a tough out for anybody |
16409s | uh i mean the skill of mn3 and zes is |
16412s | crazy oh yeah it is ridiculous i mean |
16415s | zest operating is the solo killer that |
16417s | people were hoping that decay could kind |
16419s | of be right on that justice team and |
16420s | everyone sort of hailed him as like that |
16422s | an individual that could really turn the |
16423s | game on its head but the best part for |
16425s | zest is that he sat next to this guy uh |
16427s | mn3 who really of the course this match |
16429s | was was great you know we talked about |
16431s | uh the ash duel he was taking with xc |
16433s | early in the series he didn't look good |
16434s | for him when it moved to sojourn he sean |
16437s | the widowmaker matchup on gibraltar a |
16439s | tough one for him but it was really had |
16441s | a lot to do with the map and how good |
16442s | someone was at controlling those spaces |
16445s | but he gets his revenge he gets his come |
16447s | up it's in that final map |
16449s | and his ash is the one that shines |
16450s | brightest philadelphia fusion always |
16452s | know how to make it exciting and they |
16454s | set themselves a date with the loser of |
16456s | the hung show spark in los angeles |
16458s | gladiators there's more incredible games |
16460s | on the way not only for the fusion but |
16462s | for us tonight we're already halfway |
16464s | through we're gonna go to a break i'm |

16745s | stressful series that we've seen this |
16747s | entire week i think all of us were just |
16749s | kind of at the edge of our seat just |
16750s | going like oh my gosh there's no way |
16752s | they take this can they take this can |
16754s | they take this mn3 comes in at the end |
16755s | and we're all just oh uh it was just too |
16758s | much i like i i was like yelling because |
16760s | i'm with i'm on the philadelphia fusion |
16761s | train because you brought me here it's |
16763s | awful here it's awfully it's stressful i |
16766s | we're like yelling at zest and mn3 to |
16768s | kill more people you know we have we |
16771s | have xc just going like crazy and just |
16773s | popping heads i don't know that was just |
16775s | it was just too much that was the |
16776s | epitome of the awards league yeah just |
16779s | like fifth map |
16780s | last round last fight and just like two |
16783s | three people struggling on the point |
16785s | like even seth's point of view like i |
16787s | understand that he's like a professional |
16789s | player but he looked lost like in the |
16792s | moment and i don't blame him i mean that |
16794s | was just craziness uh |
16796s | absolute you know it was a barn burner |
16798s | gigabyte whatever you have uh amazing |
16801s | match and here's the uh the final |
16802s | moments you're leaving tower oh god oh |
16805s | man three he's so talented and handsome |
16808s | i it's it's just it's crazy like how |
16810s | many shots he hits like he kills xe gets |
16813s | the double tap in there in there and |
16815s | then you have zest this is when johnny's |
16816s | like he's lost like there's just so much |
16818s | going on in this position |
16821s | oh my god there was so many clutch plays |
16825s | that came out there for philadelphia |
16827s | fusion even in those final minutes where |
16829s | florida was able to recap the point and |
16832s | then fusion had to get back on because |
16834s | there wasn't a single second to lose |
16836s | with that overtime |
16837s | sorry johnny like i was like they did it |
16839s | and they were like wait philly had the |
16841s | point for the last 10 seconds like oh no |
16843s | i got the rally lucio was there as well |
16846s | like florida mayhem they had 99 on like |
16849s | all three points i believe like they |
16851s | were one fight away on so many different |
16853s | times right so |
16854s | i mean that would |
16856s | literally the wire |
16858s | the thinnest wire possible |
16861s | i mean yes it we went all the way to map |
16863s | five and it was well played on both |
16865s | sides otherwise we wouldn't have had you |
16866s | know this long and this intense of a |
16869s | final match so i mean just to speak to |
16872s | florida yeah yeah i mean in many ways |
16875s | they you know they won map one so they |
16876s | came out uh on top here and sir my jet |
16878s | had an incredible zenyatta performance |
16880s | here you know ended the map with the |
16882s | cendiff in the uh in the all chat you |
16885s | love to see that um but again like so |
16887s | many people for the florida mayhem |
16889s | turned up to this one so much out here |
16890s | on the senora but also checkmate has had |
16893s | a really good mid-season madness |
16896s | tournament um i think checkmate has |
16898s | played some of the best overwatch she |
16899s | ever has in this very tournament xc as |
16902s | well had a reputation for being this |
16904s | elite hitscan player when he was on the |
16906s | dallas fuel of course and before that um |
16908s | and he he fired on all senators too so |
16911s | this was |
16912s | the ending of this match was the |
16914s | culmination of two teams being |
16916s | incredibly competitive over the course |
16918s | of five maps and so i'm just really |
16919s | grateful for the from am they go out |
16921s | here in the losers bracket but they put |
16923s | up one hell of a performance and they |
16925s | should be really proud of that |
16926s | performance yeah but you know i i've had |
16928s | enough of being nicer philadelphia |
16930s | fusion right now because yes they got |
16932s | over the line yes they got there but one |
16934s | of the biggest issues for them as a team |
16936s | is they're relying too much on |
16938s | individual brilliant they do they're not |
16939s | they're not playing as a team they're |
16941s | not having this massive synergy and you |
16943s | saw that issue become |
16945s | massively highlighted here on this watch |
16946s | point gibraltar where when bell's rears |
16949s | just can't get any traction zest is |
16950s | being hunted down mn3 has someone on him |
16953s | at all times there's just nothing |
16954s | happening for them at any moment and |
16956s | then like even as you go further into |
16958s | the maps like obviously they had a great |
16960s | new queen street but even there on that |
16962s | lee zhang tower that wasn't great |
16964s | teamwork that really got over the line |
16966s | that was zest and mn3 just going |
16969s | absolutely crazy so |
16971s | looking forward to them as a team |
16973s | because they do have somewhere to go |
16974s | they have to play the loser of spark and |
16976s | the gladiators individual brilliance |
16978s | will not get them across the line they |
16980s | need to find some form of coordination |
16982s | and synergy if they are going to beat a |
16984s | great team like them so if i was to ask |
16986s | you to put on your coach custa hat for a |
16988s | second and sit down with the fusion what |
16990s | would you tell them how would you |
16992s | inspire uh teamwork rather than just |
16994s | waiting for mn3 or zest to pop off one |
16996s | of the big issues that i think i'm |
16998s | seeing from them is moving aimgod and |
17000s | fixer around the map without losing them |
17002s | because it feels like aim god fixer and |
17004s | mn3 sometimes are on different pages and |
17007s | bella's rear and zest need to start |
17009s | linking up a little bit more because it |
17010s | feels like at times they're going in |
17012s | individually and they're just unable to |
17015s | execute as a unit right and that's what |
17017s | makes them rely on individual brilliance |
17019s | especially in the back line like fixer |
17021s | didn't have a great series here dying |
17022s | first a lot of the times that leaves aim |
17024s | got exposed so just tidying up some of |
17027s | those bolts getting that synergy going a |
17028s | little bit better and they can go far |
17030s | because the gameplay is there just not |
17032s | as a team listen speaking of synergy all |
17034s | three of us on the desk found that |
17036s | synergy because we all predicted fusion |
17038s | to take the win but johnny extra points |
17040s | to you because you called the 3-2 that's |
17042s | right called the 3-2 |
17044s | and look i'm just saying i predicted the |
17046s | atlanta ring i put it to the 3-2 |
17049s | and i predict the heinz part |
17056s | we're going to talk about that in just a |
17058s | second but the first thing that we need |
17059s | to do is look at our updated lower |
17061s | brackets again congratulations to the |
17063s | fusion for moving on in that lower |
17066s | bracket that we see uh the winner |
17068s | they will be playing the winner of as we |
17071s | said match 16 where is it sorry the |
17073s | loser yeah it's in the upper bracket |
17075s | yeah i'm lost sometimes you know there's |
17076s | so many brackets around here but yes |
17078s | this is the |
17079s | the fusion are not winners uh obviously |
17081s | you know what they're winners in my eyes |
17083s | right now |
17086s | don't take this away from me we don't |
17088s | know how long it will last |
17091s | but i think that they are going to go |
17094s | the distance but yes they are going to |
17095s | play the losers of this next match which |
17097s | is of course the spark versus the |
17099s | gladiators i know you two started |
17101s | getting into it so one of you want to |
17103s | start well i want to hear that hongdro |
17105s | spark hopium first before i come in with |
17107s | the gladiators kicking down the door |
17109s | you're calling this hopium is the |
17111s | definition of hoyp like like it's just |
17113s | some gas just evaporating within the air |
17116s | or no what no this is substantiated all |
17120s | right this is substantiated analysis and |
17123s | to counter my own very argument i'm |
17125s | going to bring up a stat card that makes |
17126s | me look ridiculous and it's kempster |
17128s | versus alfie on the tracer where kevster |
17131s | of course he's only played 38 minutes so |
17134s | far this tournament you know it was a |
17136s | pretty dominant performance and 68 |
17138s | minutes for alpha who's obviously played |
17139s | a bit more some more matches here but |
17141s | you can see the stats yourself alfie |
17143s | comes down on top when it comes to the |
17144s | hero damage and the pulse bomb kills per |
17145s | 10 minutes but kevster's final blows |
17148s | reduce this i i think this is the match |
17150s | up to watch for both teams here really |
17152s | because i think when it comes to you |
17153s | know shy of course someone we talked |
17154s | about a lot i think he'll be the best |
17156s | soldier and player you compare it to |
17158s | potiphan but kevster has been such a |
17160s | dominant force of nature and no one has |
17163s | really been able to seemingly stop him |
17165s | so alfie i think he's like great |
17167s | tournament so far alfie another player |
17169s | who's playing some of the best of what |
17170s | she's ever done and if anyone's going to |
17172s | bring it to kepster it could be alpha yi |
17174s | so that's a head to head i'm watching in |
17176s | this match but for me it's not yes alpha |
17178s | yi and cancer are important but it's the |
17180s | they're partners in crime and that's the |
17182s | main tanks and that's the person i'm |
17183s | looking at for the gladiators and that's |
17185s | where i think the major differential is |
17186s | going to come in rainer has been a joke |
17189s | jack of all trades maintain coming in |
17191s | for this league he has been able to play |
17193s | everything especially on that doomfist |
17195s | and when he synergizes the dive with |
17196s | kevster that seems to be that next level |
17198s | that the gladiators have been at and i |
17200s | just don't see the spark being able to |
17202s | hit that yes they have the great hitscan |
17204s | in shai who does pop off consistently |
17206s | but for me overall the gladiators are |
17209s | just a better team and we haven't even |
17211s | talked about shoe in the back line we |
17214s | got funny astro to come play that lucio |
17216s | super rich in my teacup all right all |
17218s | right |
17220s | that's where the opium's in it's in that |
17221s | teacup right now chrysanthemum hopium |
17224s | that's actually the main ingredient but |
17226s | honestly uh reiner kind of won my heart |
17228s | over with his trash talk that we had |
17230s | earlier in the week but i want to keep |
17232s | the ball rolling okay i really wanted to |
17234s | make a hamster joke there but you're not |
17235s | wearing the lindsay anymore all right |
17237s | i'm going to keep the prediction ball |
17239s | rolling i want to get your match |
17240s | prediction how do we think that this is |
17242s | going to go |
17243s | i'm going to go gladiators 3-1 3-1 for |
17246s | gladiators |
17247s | all right |
17248s | so you think they'll win on push that's |
17250s | a pretty good bet right there yeah um |
17253s | the dive is good look i i respect the |
17255s | alec letters i do okay so i'll say i'll |
17257s | have to say three two hunch of spark all |
17259s | right |
17260s | yeah we're going the distance we're |
17261s | going to control once more uh and it's |
17264s | gonna be a great series you know more |
17266s | giga bangers we all want more giga |
17267s | bangers yeah so bring it up here for the |
17269s | long haul we're coming to midnight again |
17271s | oh you know but hear me out hear me out |
17273s | spicy three oh gladiator oh |
17276s | three the disney no that is that is |
17278s | baseless all right taking my entire |
17282s | overwatch league career on this |
17284s | prediction okay and there's only one way |
17286s | to find out if me obvi will be |
17288s | successful in all my future predictions |
17290s | oh wait i already messed up my first one |
17291s | today dang it jake |
17294s | all right well we have to take a quick |
17295s | break but stick around because when we |
17296s | get back we are going to see that match |
17298s | between the spark and the gladiators |
17315s | [Music] |

17489s | [Music] |
17537s | so |
17545s | and welcome back it is time to get into |
17547s | our last two matches of the evening i'm |
17549s | achilles once more joined by avril we'll |
17551s | be guiding you guys through the rest of |
17553s | the action here today we'll be your |
17555s | ushers please take your seats and let |
17557s | battle commence once more it's gonna be |
17558s | the hangzhou spark going up against the |
17560s | la gladiators let's see who is gonna be |
17563s | moving forward |
17565s | officially in the top six now with our |
17567s | upper bracket teams here these are the |
17569s | top four as well uh still a couple lives |
17571s | to play through but my goodness we're |
17573s | finally getting into what i truly |
17574s | believe is like you know this is top |
17576s | tier n a versus top tier a pack it's not |
17578s | going to be salt danish but i think |
17580s | hondro spark the way they defeated seoul |
17582s | just not even that long but the 3-0 |
17584s | anyway this is looking like one of the |
17585s | top teams now so pink versus purple this |
17588s | is gonna be epic |
17589s | it absolutely could be to see what |
17591s | happens once we get into it you know |
17592s | what the rosters and whatnot are going |
17593s | to look like but |
17595s | uh a hell of a lot of potential here for |
17596s | some showdowns obviously you know alfie |
17598s | looking incredible patty pan here in his |
17600s | first season of the overwatch league as |
17601s | well also looking utterly impeccable so |
17603s | those two clashing is a very exciting |
17606s | prospect shy as well and hit scan can |
17608s | have some stiff competition there from |
17610s | the side of the gladiators we'll see if |
17611s | that comes to fruition but here's our |
17613s | starting five for the side of the |
17614s | hangzhou spark while we did see them |
17616s | experiment a little bit with the roster |
17618s | at the end of the qualifiers widely have |
17620s | been sticking to this core right here |
17623s | no surprises i mean you're probably not |
17625s | going to see goose way until we get to |
17626s | an escort type map maybe something like |
17627s | a gibraltar where it's very winston |
17629s | focused but |
17631s | even without the crucial i think |
17632s | bernard's just been fantastic so far |
17634s | this tournament cycle i mean he's really |
17635s | impressed this was a play that last year |
17637s | people were really down about but |
17639s | currently spark are having their best |
17641s | ever season in my personal opinion led |
17644s | mostly by this dps like shy and alfie |
17646s | alfie probably one of the most |
17648s | overlooked rookies coming in there was |
17649s | some notable hype surrounding guys like |
17651s | proper i mean that's deserved and |
17653s | respected um but alpha yi has kind of |
17656s | swept the table and he's really come |
17658s | into his own he |
17659s | kind of |
17660s | got a very deserved play of the match |
17662s | versus sol dynasty as well i mean this |
17663s | guy has been tearing things up on the |
17665s | tracer we've also seen him on the genji |
17666s | his echoes up there as well sharks |
17668s | looking like one of the best hit scans |
17669s | once more his trojan is right at the top |
17672s | of my list |
17673s | yeah way up there making a name for |
17676s | himself for sure on that newest pick but |
17678s | here is the starting five for the side |
17680s | of the gladiators kevster patty pan |
17682s | reiner shoe and skewed try to maintain |
17686s | some n a dominance and see if they can |
17688s | take down the hangzhou spark |
17690s | and rhino has been super impressive on |
17692s | this tank position as well you know i |
17693s | think the disc is starting to talk about |
17695s | this kind of new term the jolt right |
17696s | there |
17698s | what is it again i think hawk even came |
17700s | up with it maybe but uh jack of all |
17702s | trades kind of tank we're starting to |
17703s | get in there you still need to see you |
17705s | know before hawk he's still trying to |
17707s | move into those main tanks for reiner as |
17708s | well |
17709s | will be a question mark in terms of |
17710s | whether he ends up playing any sort of |
17712s | off tanks this is not really an off-tank |
17713s | meta so we're not releasing zarya yet um |
17715s | only kalu seems to be running diva we'll |
17717s | get into that in the future match but |
17719s | for now you know expecting typical ball |
17722s | doom winston kind of stuff coming |
17723s | through from rhino the interesting pick |
17725s | is actually going to be that skewed |
17726s | starts over funny astro on our opening |
17728s | map or for the control typically we have |
17730s | seen a lot of funny astro uh but i think |
17733s | those would normally be you know that |
17734s | would be your roster choice if you're |
17736s | going to something more like a lee jung |
17737s | tower we're about to head into oasis |
17739s | here which is the gladiators map pick so |
17741s | they're going to be looking at something |
17742s | more along the lines of a skewed brig |
17745s | with shoes in all the double flex |
17747s | support as well both really strong |
17748s | options for glads in this map |
17752s | see if they can get a win here a lot of |
17754s | teams been taking us to oasis as their |
17756s | map picked to begin and have not been |
17757s | able to put up the numbers so will that |
17760s | happen once more or can the gladiators |
17763s | close it out cleanly start things off |
17765s | the right foot forward and get the w we |
17767s | are about to find out as we are moments |
17769s | away from jumping into the action and |
17771s | carrying out this incredible week of |
17774s | games |
17776s | and these two teams you know we talked |
17778s | about rare matchups yesterday |
17780s | when the atlanta ring took on the salt |
17782s | dynasty this is a pretty rare one here |
17784s | as well only three times the ali |
17786s | gladiators have met with the hangzhou |
17788s | spark and tell you what they haven't |
17789s | seen each other in three years the last |
17792s | matchup between la and hangzhou was in |
17794s | 2019 for the playoffs so it's been a lot |
17798s | of years yeah but these two squads have |
17800s | not met brand new rosters here i don't |
17802s | even think there's a single returning |
17803s | player from either side from that 2019 |
17806s | squad as well so |
17808s | franchises squaring up here pink versus |
17811s | purple map number one shred on gardens |
17815s | there we are gates opening up and hey |
17817s | look at that police pause immediately |
17819s | into the chat |
17821s | oh this is just what happens when i uh |
17823s | show up to cast i suppose but hopefully |
17824s | it's gonna be a quick issue here for the |
17826s | side of the gladiators to get dealt with |
17828s | obviously having those admins right |
17830s | there on standby in venue is going to |
17832s | make for a pretty i thought uh |
17835s | i thought you started you know shoving |
17836s | some of that curse over towards jaws and |
17838s | necro they obviously had that long pause |
17840s | of toronto and shanghai |
17842s | on the uh i think was the first day |
17843s | mildly contagious |
17846s | it is it is |
17847s | but let's talk about a little since we |
17849s | do have opening line |
17851s | rather line up so we have the opening |
17853s | compositions as well |
17854s | uh which i'll go through very briefly i |
17856s | don't know if anyone caught that but it |
17857s | was going to be the main difference is |
17858s | going to be burner on the ball versus |
17860s | rhino on the doom so |
17862s | not super unexpected from either side |
17864s | super rich brig irony zen shu coming |
17866s | through on the back skewed on the brakes |
17867s | so scooter is going to be playing the |
17868s | brig first and foremost with the bat |
17871s | option for shoe he'll he might consider |
17873s | going towards the anna after he sees the |
17875s | ball here i think the anna's gonna have |
17877s | a lot more defensive utility to mis |
17880s | display spurners born also support |
17881s | reiner so that might be something that |
17883s | the gladiators look towards uh if they |
17885s | get a reset reiner just checking if his |
17887s | camera is working padded pan and shy |
17888s | coming through on the surgeon as |
17890s | expected alpha yi versus kefster on the |
17892s | tracer now alfie took down profit |
17894s | kevster is another one of those top tier |
17896s | tracer players that alfie will be tested |
17898s | again now |
17900s | well we'll see how these match up and |
17902s | whether or not there's adjustments that |
17903s | you're talking about you know the ana |
17904s | swap perhaps if that does come through |
17906s | if the gladiators are still gonna at |
17908s | least give it a fight or two and see how |
17910s | uh it goes piloting this comp but |
17912s | we'll have to just wait and see has been |
17914s | a big amount of uh trash talk coming out |
17917s | from the side of the gladiators runner |
17918s | in particular uh you know really trying |
17921s | to make a name for himself and uh say |
17923s | yeah i am you know one of the best if |
17925s | not the best tank in the league right |
17926s | now and it's also you know rookie season |
17929s | yada yada uh has been looking utterly |
17931s | incredible for the squad |
17934s | well you know he |
17936s | wants to face up against well there's |
17937s | there's been a bit of the back and forth |
17939s | between him and fate sort of from afar |
17940s | via different interviews |
17942s | uh smurf's out of the picture now so you |
17944s | know currently there's burn on screen |
17946s | gucci maybe a little bit later on which |
17947s | would be a fantastic matchup as far as |
17949s | winston's go because we're looking at a |
17950s | situation where you know right as a |
17953s | rookie gooshway is i think the origin of |
17956s | the primal blade that he |
17958s | he is like the first person that really |
17960s | displayed the primal play back in 2018 |
17962s | world cup i believe it was so that'll be |
17963s | a big test for rhino you're seeing stats |
17965s | right now right up there in terms of |
17967s | doomfist he's been one of the top |
17968s | doomfist players uh certainly you know |
17970s | from the na side of things he kind of |
17973s | pioneered that alongside dante alongside |
17975s | hawke those are probably my top three uh |
17977s | so you know ryden has been fantastic |
17979s | throughout and i'll be interested to see |
17981s | if we go to circuit royale as well |
17983s | because that's the one map that space |
17984s | does come in for to play that sigma |
17987s | bernard's obviously going to be |
17988s | comfortable with that as well so uh |
17990s | that'll be an interesting pick that we |
17991s | can sort of look into later on i'm sure |
17994s | that ons would love to get sniping m |
17995s | that actually might end up being a |
17996s | weakness for 100 spark they didn't look |
17998s | very comfortable with that uh matchup |
18000s | between shy and mn3 look shy's been |
18002s | dominating on the sojourn but |
18004s | his widow has maybe taken a bit of a hit |
18006s | negatively in a recent game so that |
18007s | might be one area that glides if we get |
18009s | you know once we get to map three |
18011s | depending who gets the pick circuit is |
18013s | one i'm looking forward to |
18014s | well looks like everything should be |
18016s | good to go the ready checks coming out |
18018s | in the chat we should be underway once |
18021s | more and we can finally see these teams |
18023s | clash and see who's going to be able to |
18024s | draw first blood get that initial lock |
18026s | down here on guard in an oasis i'm not |
18029s | sure exactly what the issue was but it |
18030s | seems like it's all taken care of and |
18031s | she was ready to party |
18034s | as always a little bit more time to |
18036s | think about where things are going to go |
18038s | all right well back into action pretty |
18040s | much you'll notice that burner is taking |
18042s | control of mega so it seems like hunter |
18044s | spark will not be coming through from |
18046s | the side rooms playing straight from |
18047s | main gladiators touch point first 15 |
18049s | seconds to unlock |
18053s | all right slow and steady gladiators the |
18055s | inside track now it's going to be |
18057s | occupying the point they say yep we're |
18058s | more than happy to have the hunger spot |
18060s | captain come to |
18061s | us building up for a rail |
18064s | looking for a decent enough target |
18066s | trying to swing around the corner and |
18067s | there you go he finds shot and catches |
18068s | him completely off guard irony as well |
18070s | going to be taken down she ends up |
18071s | getting traded bernard picking that one |
18073s | up trying to keep the honking spark in |
18074s | the fight but with super rich out |
18076s | there's no supports here for the side of |
18077s | the hunger spark gonna have to concede |
18079s | this as the cap is there and gladiators |
18081s | are starting to pick up |
18083s | yeah first on the cab first on the kill |
18085s | feed as well there great pick from paddy |
18087s | pan on towards shy that's the majority |
18088s | of the damage going from the hangzhou |
18090s | spark i believe they did get one trait |
18092s | in there with shoe going down but |
18093s | otherwise guys with their presence |
18095s | already being on the cat looking very |
18097s | fast picking on the second fight shy |
18099s | response to padding the rail not quite |
18101s | connecting but still does a good amount |
18102s | of damage there on to skewed and alpha y |
18105s | manages to get on top of them they find |
18106s | the kill they answer back shoot falling |
18107s | lower and lower the immortality field |
18109s | already burned and cleaned up it's a |
18111s | quick little turnaround here for the |
18112s | side of the hangzhou spark 32 set up for |
18114s | the gladiators as they take control |
18117s | clean as well don't think anybody from |
18119s | spark died this look at the full setup |
18120s | now yeah |
18122s | first ultimate stunt to come online it's |
18123s | both tracer players probably shouldn't |
18124s | be too much of a surprise there kepster |
18126s | versus alfie a matchup that we've been |
18128s | really looking forward to again it's the |
18130s | brand new rookie of alfie that's been an |
18132s | absolute terrorist so far it's not up |
18134s | against a player that is capable of |
18136s | being a role star and kept saying |
18137s | hiccups pulse lands onto irony gets that |
18140s | one it's a rerouting there for alpha he |
18142s | wanted to do pretty much the same exact |
18143s | thing there's they were fumbling through |
18145s | the choke managed to make it happen jump |
18147s | in shine now going to be taken down to |
18148s | trade out on the sojourn this is still |
18150s | going to be oh i was going to say it two |
18151s | for one but now it's a two for two |
18152s | overall is the spark still in control of |
18154s | the flip getting ready to come through |
18156s | bernard scratching across the point |
18157s | keeps the contest for a little bit |
18158s | longer super rich taking so much damage |
18161s | point blank there from kepster they |
18162s | managed to find the final blow in the |
18164s | end bernard trying to escape grabs the |
18165s | mega pack and use the ball lower and |
18167s | lower the orb of harmony steadily |
18168s | putting some healing down onto the |
18170s | wrecking ball and he will be able to |
18171s | make it out with his life intact but the |
18172s | point has to be conceded gladiators now |
18174s | back in control getting ready to retake |
18176s | a lead |
18178s | no super rich their brilliant sleep |
18179s | coming through or just you know maybe |
18181s | start or something oh he went down into |
18183s | the case and we'll burn out low hp also |
18185s | can't really go in there it's shy once |
18186s | again though opening things up on the |
18187s | rail get off the batting |
18189s | he's the one who's walking into the |
18190s | point first before pretty much anybody |
18192s | else and he finds these eliminations |
18194s | driving to the back there that's right |
18195s | from ryder looking to take this a little |
18197s | bit more aggressively |
18199s | gives him a little bit of green hp |
18200s | overclock now out though and reiner ends |
18202s | up diving into the minefield nicely set |
18204s | up there from bernard they get the |
18205s | punish to get the kill onto the enemy |
18206s | tank how do you practice managing to |
18208s | find alfie bernard take it down by a |
18209s | pulse definitely still fightable here |
18211s | for the side of the gladiators |
18213s | they look to maintain control but the |
18215s | spark have cleared them off the point |
18217s | just enough to be able to get that put |
18218s | back into their favor |
18219s | a little bit of fire there from the side |
18220s | of irony going lower lower down to about |
18222s | half hp the rally coming oh dude however |
18224s | helping to keep alive it's shy once more |
18226s | finds paddy pan in the head the rail |
18228s | accuracy from shy continuing to look |
18230s | utterly phenomenal gets that punish and |
18232s | the spark will be able to win out the |
18233s | extended fight |
18235s | super important picks coming through now |
18237s | big clean up here as well i'll just |
18238s | fight to be able to overtake the 72 |
18240s | percent in just a few moments |
18242s | late stag is always good for the hunger |
18244s | spy planet is trying to get their own |
18246s | trades in but at this point they just |
18247s | need to reset they need to get some |
18248s | respawns in |
18250s | kevstep that was his first death by the |
18251s | way losing out too shy so hadn't |
18253s | actually died before then he spoke about |
18255s | shy israel gone actually was 75 percent |
18257s | in that previous fight has killed powder |
18259s | pen a number of times now gladiators |
18261s | looking to come in for this 99 contested |
18264s | hunger spark |
18267s | keeping tabs on the members of the |
18268s | gladiators they spawn capsule reiner |
18270s | diving forward falls a little bit low |
18271s | the healing comes pumping through to |
18272s | keep them alive |
18274s | shoot tries to get that next window |
18276s | online |
18277s | pulse bomb |
18278s | held by both the tracers we'll see if |
18280s | they can find any primary targets trying |
18282s | to open things up and ryan are now stuck |
18283s | in the corner of the immortality field |
18284s | gonna be cleared out he tries to make |
18285s | his exit the healing comes in he will be |
18287s | able to stay alive for a little bit |
18289s | longer pulse pump goes out gets the |
18290s | stick i believe in a skewed shield so it |
18292s | doesn't find an elimination but as they |
18293s | push up onto the high ground shy helps |
18295s | set up the kill on a shoe they find the |
18296s | kill paddy band gonna be taken down as |
18298s | well two for one now but this time the |
18299s | hong kong spark as he looked to close |
18300s | this out and it's looking damn good for |
18302s | him hopefully he finds one the brakes |
18304s | both gone on either side of the ot |
18306s | bleeds away they managed to get a touch |
18307s | back through for just a brief moment but |
18309s | reiner cannot stay here he puts the |
18311s | fists up trying to buy some space kevin |
18313s | kepster rather dashes out |
18315s | every time starts plummeting once more |
18317s | now the transcendence popped by irony |
18319s | it's trying to keep everybody else alive |
18321s | pull back away from the floor again |
18322s | moment the minefield's gonna be dropped |
18323s | in as you say 5v5 but it's quickly |
18326s | taken right back into the hands of the |
18327s | hangzhou spark in their favors the |
18328s | minefield clears out one shy gets you |
18331s | and there you go the ot bleeds away at |
18333s | long last 172 percent as spark will take |
18335s | garden |
18338s | a really long final contest they're |
18339s | coming on through ellie glady is doing |
18341s | their best to survive and eyes on rhino |
18343s | there who actually did live for an |
18344s | extremely long time great healing coming |
18346s | through from the supports of the la |
18348s | gladiators but speaking of which shoe |
18350s | tries to go for a window on high ground |
18352s | which usually can be quite successful |
18354s | shy they're sliding directly in taking |
18356s | down shoot denying any sort of value |
18358s | that the window could have had |
18359s | and even though they do kill shai with |
18362s | skewed down no supports gladiators can |
18364s | only just try and have reiner still |
18365s | touch the point a couple times allows |
18367s | you to come back onto lucio continue the |
18369s | touch the end of the fight and the final |
18371s | completion of the round comes through |
18373s | for the fact that shai did actually have |
18374s | an overclock comes back and there's |
18375s | enough time for sparks to be able to |
18377s | wait for as well while holding the point |
18379s | the overclock's gonna be enough so |
18380s | moving on to the next round now shy with |
18382s | the ash and this is gonna be the apac |
18384s | special |
18385s | the roadhog control |
18386s | health on the mega pack side and the |
18388s | roadhog like you sort of mentioned here |
18390s | is going to be trying it to be a direct |
18391s | counter to burn osmol |
18393s | see what he can get done already taking |
18395s | quite a hefty chunk of damage obviously |
18397s | don't mind it too too much as a roadhog |
18399s | because as long as you're not dead you |
18401s | can take a breather get a good amount of |
18402s | charge or just let those orbs of harmony |
18404s | sit on you to really build up towards |
18405s | the transcendence for skewed hook not |
18407s | going to connect super rich has the |
18408s | shield raised keeps himself protected |
18410s | i'll be already though finding the first |
18412s | kill gladiators they might get the first |
18414s | cap but could quickly go back over into |
18416s | the hands of the hangzhou spark here and |
18418s | skewed waits to respawn reiner this cool |
18420s | door about onto him |
18422s | down a little bit lower now just |
18423s | currently hiding up the center of the |
18424s | point picks up three they're trying to |
18426s | get himself up back up actually shy |
18428s | gonna be taken down as he swings the |
18429s | corner ryder finds the elimination but |
18430s | irony gets some revenge very quickly |
18432s | thereafter now she's gonna be dead so |
18434s | ask skewed looks to rejoin the fight his |
18436s | cohort in support ends up falling i'm |
18439s | just spark should be able to convert |
18440s | this into a point flip but it hasn't |
18441s | happened yet |
18443s | well that's the thing right and |
18444s | gladiators despite losing this fight |
18446s | actually have the point control first |
18447s | it's because they are playing the road |
18448s | hog spark have to dance around and they |
18450s | have to tiptoe they don't want to fight |
18451s | rapidly into the hog rider swapping off |
18454s | now and you're right they don't have it |
18455s | just yet but it is a five before we are |
18457s | expecting the spark flip it just it's |
18458s | coming in really slowly yeah i mean this |
18460s | is so much later there's so much more |
18462s | percentage to the side of the gladiators |
18463s | than you would have anticipated given |
18464s | the kills and the spark were able to |
18465s | find at the very beginning of the fight |
18467s | rider once more just falling low hides |
18468s | out behind the center pillar crashes |
18470s | back through here onto bernard as they |
18471s | look for the elimination that's actually |
18472s | going to be alpha he diving into the |
18474s | back to assist his tank they do get the |
18476s | kill on the flip will finally be there |
18477s | but i don't think the gladiators are |
18478s | going to be too not up about that |
18480s | they managed to get the 52 percent |
18482s | i mean the only thing that's about |
18484s | negative for the gladiators is that ryan |
18485s | it does start late at the ball so he's a |
18487s | bit behind in the old charge towards the |
18488s | mines |
18489s | and you know the opening hog gamble is |
18491s | just that i'll say that they actually |
18492s | gambled pretty you know |
18495s | they got the payout here in terms of the |
18496s | 52. so if you're gonna go for a roadhog |
18498s | gamble which doesn't allow you to fight |
18499s | for high grade at all which is why |
18500s | gladiators are playing so close coast |
18502s | side towards the cars |
18504s | uh but they had 52 right they managed to |
18506s | hold on to the point which is really |
18507s | important for progress |
18513s | staying safe looking for another target |
18515s | bob going to be open to the shy best |
18517s | that goes right over towards the |
18518s | gladiators entry point to the side but |
18520s | he is now going to be taken down out |
18521s | being gone as well stick comes through |
18523s | super rich out of there gladiators |
18525s | looking like they're going to be able to |
18526s | retake this before the sport can even |
18528s | tie up the percentage bernard is the |
18529s | last one standing but with the discord |
18530s | orb not long for this world gets cleaned |
18532s | up they're five percent shy of tying it |
18534s | up is the gladiators regain control |
18536s | i mean look at the spark ultimates i |
18538s | mean that that probably could have been |
18539s | a five for the spark to actually try and |
18540s | commit into but a couple players got |
18542s | bursted down quickly they did kill shoe |
18544s | mid window but the rest of the players |
18546s | including pader pen finding kills via |
18548s | the window spark |
18549s | thought about maybe playing for a |
18550s | minefield which would have been great |
18551s | counter towards the window thought about |
18553s | playing the transcendence from irony as |
18554s | well but it's just too late because well |
18556s | oh batman's already down speaking off |
18558s | down it's great damage i think from shy |
18560s | in the alpha value alfie gets himself at |
18562s | the perfect position to find that |
18563s | elimination there's the stick excuse |
18565s | transcendence gonna do not to do it not |
18567s | do a damn thing is what i'm trying to |
18568s | say since the explosion will take him |
18570s | down now |
18571s | trance expires bernard does fall finding |
18574s | kebster however minefield could be |
18576s | dropped in from ryan or trade it out |
18578s | quickly thereafter in the minefields not |
18579s | going to be finding any additional value |
18581s | so the flip is there for the side of the |
18582s | hangzhou spark and they only have to |
18583s | invest a pulse bomb yeah |
18586s | and it all comes down from an opening |
18587s | headshot from shy but at long range so |
18589s | pedopec is taking down a 1 hp great |
18591s | communication or use of pings there to |
18593s | allow alfie to again get that alley-oop |
18595s | kill force to five versus four another |
18597s | alley gladiators lose the point off of |
18599s | one frag so |
18601s | being able to consistently get better |
18602s | man down certainly has been paying |
18604s | dividends for the hunger spark over the |
18605s | course of two rounds |
18606s | that overclock at the ready thrown out |
18609s | just clearing out some of those lines |
18610s | for now not finding any kills oh it's |
18613s | gonna be the spark who are finding so |
18614s | much value patty and shoe now skewed |
18616s | gonna be taken down ryder i believe out |
18617s | into traffic ends up going down |
18619s | and that is gonna be final fight coming |
18621s | up now gladiators with one last attempt |
18623s | to get this flip back into the favor and |
18624s | if they can win it they will take the |
18625s | round the hangzhou spark are looking to |
18627s | hold it most likely trance |
18629s | yeah they really need nano here as well |
18631s | if they can you actually have kefsta on |
18633s | the flank coming through so that's a |
18634s | play that is unaccountable for the |
18635s | hunger spark |
18636s | one transcendence to try and block out |
18638s | as much as possible paddy has to be one |
18640s | to end this one the overclock there it |
18641s | is and he instantly finds out for ye |
18644s | great head shot off the rip super rich |
18646s | as well dangerously low hovering up |
18648s | above the point for the moment tried to |
18649s | get a body shot as well bernard comes |
18651s | crashing through the flip is there |
18652s | however gladiators managed to take this |
18653s | from right out beneath the spark |
18656s | left a point just a little bit too much |
18657s | elevation trying to keep it contested |
18658s | now they had to put it back into the |
18659s | favor as we go into double overtime |
18661s | shots coming through but are falling |
18662s | lower and lower the transcendence is in |
18664s | response irony just trying to keep the |
18665s | tops up the need comes down over on the |
18666s | stairwell pulled punch from kepster not |
18668s | gonna find a damn thing alfie still |
18670s | holding on to one of his own cue taken |
18672s | out shy traded a one for one so far |
18674s | support for a dps i'll be could still be |
18676s | a bit of an x factor here for the side |
18677s | of the spark of cot bleeds down they |
18679s | manage to touch back through keep it |
18681s | contested the piledriver kill fire |
18683s | reports are now out of the fight already |
18685s | gonna be taken down but does it matter |
18686s | we'll have to just wait and see the |
18688s | super rich is still here ryder moves up |
18690s | the top side of the point falling lower |
18692s | and lower goes to the mega pack the |
18693s | health pack it's not there |
18695s | it's lower and there's the pulse pump |
18696s | stick out he takes him down the flip is |
18698s | there and the hongzhou spark will claim |
18700s | the round they'll claim the map oasis is |
18703s | there's a 1-0 start |
18706s | a 2-0 score line on oasis as well it was |
18709s | damn close as we got to multiple ninety |
18711s | nines there little gladiators really |
18713s | pushed the hundred spike extremely hard |
18715s | but opening pick coming through from |
18717s | hungary spike multiple times whether |
18718s | it's shy alfie or somebody else |
18720s | exceptionally good ella gladius near |
18723s | heroics coming through from paddy pan in |
18724s | the last fight see the overclock said |
18726s | that he needed specifically to pop off |
18728s | and open things up he does that onto |
18729s | alpha yi |
18731s | but once nano comes on through they're |
18733s | unable to get any further kills than |
18734s | that hunger spark delay the point with |
18736s | the bob |
18737s | eventually find both shu and skewed |
18739s | skewed tries to comes back tries to come |
18741s | back with the transcendence but he's |
18742s | about one percent off so that really |
18744s | makes a big difference glads can't hold |
18746s | on to the point skewed can't trance and |
18747s | it's all over |
18749s | slim margins for the victory here for |
18751s | the side of the hangzhou spark but a 2-0 |
18753s | on oasis nonetheless gladiators now will |
18756s | have a map pick once more like i said |
18757s | people are picking oasis and they're not |
18759s | winning on an april hong show spark |
18761s | managed to take it away from them but |
18762s | now for hybrid gladiators will have |
18764s | their map selection once more we'll see |
18766s | where they want to take us and whether |
18767s | or not they can get a win on it when we |
18768s | come back from the break |

18983s | alpha yi as he goes in his bound for |
18985s | rookie of the year i think he basically |
18987s | the equivalent of three people it would |
18988s | seem the guy's been putting up such |
18990s | significant numbers how does this man do |
18992s | it on every single hero |
18995s | high ground as they go ahead and take |
18996s | the fight up towards super rich alfie |
18998s | managing to fight two oh no they have |
19000s | over stepped their pounds in got now |
19002s | they're alpha rather into the back there |
19004s | finds fix up |
19005s | cleans up the kills and i mean he is on |
19006s | a terrorist though he's gonna fight man |
19008s | damn he nearly had all the |
19013s | yeah man just kills away he comes up |
19014s | with two quick kills yucky and lip both |
19016s | falling seems like this is fine at the |
19018s | moment for the for them to break through |
19020s | i was looking for who are you waiting |
19021s | for the deflection double rockets |
19023s | greeting him as he hits the floor and |
19025s | seems to stay alive though |
19027s | the meantime managing to find pixa |
19029s | follows up gets a second elimination |
19031s | gets a third healthy okay starting to |
19034s | pop i think he heard what i was saying |
19035s | he says okay let me show you some uh |
19037s | some magic on the tracer |
19045s | and alpha yi looking |
19047s | impeccable at the start here already |
19049s | putting up some solid numbers on the |
19050s | first map of oasis here's his stance |
19052s | with the tracer a sixty percent pulse |
19054s | bomb attach right radia it's pretty good |
19057s | it's pretty good |
19059s | very good in fact and 15 final blows as |
19062s | well which was top fragging in the |
19064s | server across the board for everybody |
19066s | for those that are curious kevs on the |
19068s | other side had eight so it's a |
19069s | difference of seven but it is nearly |
19071s | double here uh the curious thing about |
19073s | the two players so far and you know i i |
19075s | am drawing comparisons between these two |
19076s | is alpha e is really coming up to fight |
19079s | up against kepster in this particular |
19080s | match up pat geff's actually had more |
19082s | damage there but only by about 400 |
19084s | there's a lot of elims for alpha y as |
19086s | well he did less damage with higher |
19088s | final blows what that really says to me |
19089s | is that alfie had a lot of opportunities |
19091s | where he was able to capitalize on low |
19093s | hp members where damage was done by |
19095s | somebody else and that to me is |
19097s | evidenced by one specific kill that i |
19099s | want to highlight again the shy headshot |
19100s | on the panapan into the alpha yi allyu |
19103s | from the low ground things like that |
19104s | between cheyenne alfie and even burner |
19106s | is how hunger spark able to find these |
19108s | picks picks specifically as well a lot |
19110s | of them actually off the shoe who had 12 |
19113s | deaths in that game that is the highest |
19114s | across the board for any member the only |
19116s | player with double digit deaths he was a |
19118s | key target for the hunger spark and if |
19120s | that continues gladiators will struggle |
19123s | well now on midtown |
19126s | secondary map pick here for the side of |
19128s | the gladiators after not getting their |
19129s | win on oasis let's see how they fare |
19131s | whether or not they can in fact tie this |
19133s | up it's gonna be the hong show spark |
19135s | first on the defense |
19137s | gladiators |
19138s | not the gates on the attack we'll see |
19140s | what they can get done alfie for now |
19142s | showing that torbjorn which was in the |
19144s | highlight package that we did play but |
19145s | we'll swap off he's gonna go over to the |
19147s | echo instead |
19149s | well there was a highlight as well that |
19150s | was actually on this map i think it |
19152s | might have been versus fusion but i'm |
19153s | honestly forgetting a little bit it was |
19154s | alpha yi genji wow and he had that |
19157s | brilliant dragon blade on b where i |
19158s | think one slash hits four members |
19160s | something like that just ridiculous |
19162s | stuff it was one of the most impressive |
19163s | genji plays i think i've seen so far in |
19165s | this season but you know for a lot of |
19166s | north american fans this is probably |
19168s | your first time seeing alpha yi and well |
19170s | you're in for a treat because this man |
19171s | has completely kicked down the door in |
19173s | terms of rookie of the year discussion |
19174s | speaking of people in that discussion of |
19176s | course reiner is still here thought that |
19178s | maybe doom would have been the pick |
19180s | obviously with shoe and skewed in we're |
19181s | not looking towards ryan there's no |
19182s | funny asher for the lucio |
19184s | this is also a map where burner can play |
19186s | sigma their own double flex so |
19188s | gladiators moving into midtown you know |
19189s | this has to be an expectation that it |
19192s | you can be going up against a sigma on |
19193s | the other side let's love that stat that |
19195s | we just had up there though |
19197s | as far as you know highest match final |
19199s | blows records said the last time that |
19200s | these two teams did square off which was |
19202s | in 2019 so records that have now stood |
19205s | the test of time for a significant |
19206s | period and you know with some fairly |
19209s | familiar and missed names in surefour |
19211s | and bazzy |
19213s | let's see if anyone will be able to |
19214s | maybe break those numbers here in this |
19216s | season |
19218s | at some point patty though chunked out a |
19220s | little bit slides back stay safe for now |
19222s | he's shy |
19223s | just outside of the train card would |
19225s | love to displace him but just has his |
19227s | attention pulled to too many sides right |
19228s | now |
19230s | i mean they have good map control you |
19231s | can look at this patter pan already has |
19233s | fire station as long as he has teammates |
19234s | around him he does right it's also there |
19236s | as well get some kills |
19238s | he went downstairs to grab a snack just |
19241s | much fun kevster right there took him |
19242s | down gets the follow up on the paddy pad |
19244s | and the fire station no longer occupied |
19245s | by the gladiators there right back into |
19247s | the respawn room |
19249s | or well played by alfie getting the |
19251s | initial pick up on the padded pan but |
19252s | also surviving against reiner as well so |
19253s | he doesn't get staggered he doesn't die |
19255s | well rather he just doesn't die at all |
19257s | which would have been awkward because |
19258s | ali gladiators could potentially use |
19259s | that window |
19261s | but also you look at irony as well kind |
19263s | of pocketing there they just play the |
19264s | 2v1 against reiner who would love to get |
19266s | a kill to anybody in that sort of |
19267s | situation anna now the bushes online |
19269s | from shu so this is going to be the nano |
19270s | coming through onto rhino to open up the |
19272s | fight |
19274s | i'll be getting pressure just a bit here |
19276s | as he just hovered down on the ground |
19277s | kept there looking for the kill oh he |
19279s | takes the skies |
19280s | bring some distance between them trying |
19282s | to answer back with a little bit of |
19283s | damage but has to land go into the |
19284s | window try to stay a little bit safer |
19286s | here just taking a while to get the |
19287s | diving |
19288s | and it is trying to get the pincer |
19289s | maneuver there onto him ryder joining in |
19291s | as well still haven't quite been able to |
19293s | find him but one for one shy goes down |
19294s | but shoot gets traded that's going to be |
19295s | the nano potentially out of the fight |
19297s | and now both supports are gone i'll be |
19299s | fighting that kill finding ryder the |
19301s | door will go down i'll be hitting the |
19303s | ground the pulse bomb stick is good oh |
19306s | turn the sides over here the |
19310s | he managed to stay in it and that shut |
19312s | down everything from the side of the |
19313s | gladiators that was their moment their |
19315s | chance to be able to get in onto the |
19317s | point and it completely gets reversed |
19319s | fantastic play from alfie |
19321s | yeah he dodges the pulse bomb using the |
19323s | eye frames for the dubai let's take a |
19324s | look at that again boom he has |
19326s | milliseconds of time to react to that |
19328s | one then then he outplays powder pen as |
19330s | well what an absolute guard in the flex |
19332s | dps and super rich and irony both died |
19334s | irony maybe threatened to play |
19336s | transcendence doesn't even do it they'll |
19337s | have to do it now though the window is |
19339s | up paddy pat nearly getting a double |
19341s | there looked like he was gonna have to |
19342s | collat does not instead just gets super |
19344s | rich gladiators finally able to occupy |
19346s | the point after some good initial kills |
19347s | and skew we'll go ahead and swap the fly |
19349s | so with alfie out of the sky this could |
19352s | very well just end up being the cabin |
19353s | i'm just spark they're close by but it |
19356s | looks like they don't want to try to |
19356s | contest this one so we'll just go ahead |
19358s | and let it go yeah they take them down |
19360s | below a minute so it's only gonna be |
19361s | three minutes and 20 seconds in the time |
19362s | bank but glad nearly have five volts in |
19364s | the push well |
19365s | i have to kind of speaking of ultimates |
19367s | i have to kind of ask where the ironing |
19368s | transcendence was in that last fight we |
19369s | did see super drop down the window but |
19371s | would have liked to have seen further |
19372s | support maybe a couple members got blown |
19374s | up too early then ironing he's like wow |
19375s | we just caught the lost here three |
19377s | versus two don't want to burn the trance |
19378s | you are going up against fourth place on |
19380s | the other sides of those so very |
19381s | difficult situation for the hunger spark |
19383s | to me this has to be an aggressive move |
19384s | from shai you might not want to burn the |
19386s | trans but the overclock needs to come |
19387s | through here to at least force ultimates |
19388s | out of the early gladiators |
19392s | right back into it finding kepster who |
19394s | does nearly have that pulse bomb online |
19396s | to complete the fifth and final piece of |
19397s | exodia for the gladiators |
19400s | they got it |
19402s | what do you do we often joke |
19404s | there's the dash forward shot gonna be |
19406s | taking down the pulse bomb looking great |
19407s | patty as well going to be getting super |
19408s | rich with the overclock |
19410s | drops down rotates wraps around behind |
19412s | him |
19413s | just looking for a target won't be able |
19414s | to find one until lb shows his head |
19415s | right here managed to dash away for a |
19417s | brief stagger but kevin gets on top of |
19419s | him yeah it's a nice stagger reiner as |
19421s | well narrowly surviving means that she |
19422s | was going to be able to build up towards |
19423s | that next nano |
19425s | well look at this with the paler is |
19427s | nearly at the finish line now so you |
19428s | actually need to see spark go they had |
19430s | opportunities to start a fight this was |
19431s | so slow the tempo is off from the hunter |
19433s | spark finally the transcendence comes in |
19435s | through the barely touch |
19437s | answering overclock auntie was there for |
19439s | just a moment shy does stay safe they |
19441s | push him back down here into the |
19442s | underpass bernard leading the charge |
19443s | goes crashing |
19445s | a little bit lower and as you say |
19447s | the payload it is crested over the |
19450s | finish line of point b so a bump up with |
19452s | the time bank and now the port spawns on |
19453s | the side of the gladiators i'm joe spark |
19455s | they're looking for some eliminations |
19457s | but it's uh just kind of putting them in |
19459s | a bad spot bernard |
19460s | just having a wet noodle fight with |
19462s | reiner but oh boy tragedy has struck |
19466s | that is definitely |
19468s | such an unfortunate situation for the |
19470s | 100 spot but super avoidable as well |
19472s | they they needed to start fights very |
19474s | quickly on b they allowed a lot of free |
19476s | pushing me that should have been more |
19477s | than a one fight 400 400 spike in terms |
19480s | of how many fights are available on b |
19482s | they've realistically only had a single |
19483s | fight there instead of two |
19486s | so now |
19486s | this is the bet that they have to lie in |
19488s | already on towards c barely defended the |
19491s | last two sections of the map so far a |
19492s | was decent but uh pretty invisible on b |
19495s | if that comes back to bite them and |
19496s | loses them in the map they're gonna be |
19498s | kicking themselves over it |
19500s | maybe we'll get a replay of it as well i |
19501s | believe it was probably kepster able to |
19503s | go ahead and drag that one across point |
19504s | b but |
19505s | patty already finding two alvey and |
19507s | bernard both gonna be taken down it's |
19508s | the sights of the super rich he's got a |
19509s | shield bash away shy will level playing |
19512s | field just a little bit but now he's |
19513s | sucking the corner the nade there the |
19515s | head shots fly in paddy pan really |
19517s | starting to come into his own was a bit |
19519s | of a rocky start for him |
19521s | looking a hell of a lot better than the |
19522s | latter half this map |
19524s | okay well this is gonna be the first |
19526s | reset on b and c we'll just talk about c |
19528s | now as the hunger spark desperately |
19530s | needed to find a kill there the rally |
19532s | being traded through so glad we'll take |
19534s | that on what one away and screw up for |
19536s | the next round now or the next round of |
19538s | fights okay powder pan going down to |
19540s | another 10 seconds lost and this is what |
19541s | hundreds is trying to make up for |
19542s | last time occasionally a lot of payload |
19544s | distance found though which doesn't feel |
19546s | good for spock and they need the mines |
19548s | to defend this next point as well |
19550s | yeah even having the win condition if |
19552s | they can stop the car from finishing |
19553s | this is still a good amount of distance |
19555s | but the gladiators have built up |
19558s | so |
19559s | definitely just need to be playing to |
19561s | halt this in place make sure that they |
19563s | do not get that completion so they can |
19565s | try to play away from those extra |
19567s | innings don't be playing down wrapping |
19569s | around the backhand side here looking |
19571s | for that flank angle padding that's |
19572s | super annoying |
19575s | very difficult to deal with as well we |
19576s | have all the plugs about to be online |
19577s | now this is where the glass want to go |
19579s | trade out one of the supports a piece |
19582s | gonna be taken down i'll be dashing |
19584s | forward helps finish off ryan doesn't |
19586s | even need to use the pulse bomb here |
19587s | hold it now for the follow-up point in |
19588s | all likelihood is paddy pan yeah just |
19590s | gonna be taken out shoot trying to |
19591s | escape down below half hp looks like he |
19593s | may be okay at the very end here |
19597s | 50 seconds remaining for the gladiators |
19599s | multiple ultimate once more getting |
19601s | ready to be online |
19603s | so just a short skirmish there see if |
19604s | you can poke out a few members of spark |
19606s | it was an initial pick up i believe it |
19607s | was from powder pad but if ali glad he |
19610s | does want to start dropping members it |
19611s | is going to be the reset they don't want |
19612s | to overspend ultimates pulse bomb gone |
19614s | but the other four |
19615s | it's gonna be pretty large here nano |
19617s | clock available as well between powder |
19618s | better shoot which would be pretty |
19619s | decent out on the hot spot it goes that |
19621s | wide it's the pulse bomb not able to get |
19624s | that stick now it's gonna be the nano |
19625s | clock coming through from patapan |
19626s | transcendence is matched on either side |
19629s | but our here for the mom and paddy |
19630s | desperately trying to get a head shot |
19632s | with these rails but has not happened |
19634s | doesn't find too much of anything there |
19636s | the shy under pressure however tries to |
19637s | slide away but it definitely gets taken |
19639s | down campuses they're scooping multiple |
19640s | kills in the fight skewed gonna be the |
19642s | only casualty on this at the gladiator |
19644s | so far kepster still here holds on to |
19646s | the pulse pop is alpha he gets taken |
19647s | down the delay tag thinks it's all on |
19649s | bernard but he's got no hp now super |
19651s | rich tries to occupy the card for a |
19652s | little bit longer but it's not gonna |
19654s | happen they managed to take it down into |
19656s | overtime but the gladiators will make it |
19658s | to point c |
19660s | that's the silver lining for the |
19661s | hangzhou spark right they are at least |
19663s | able to defend until the overtime it |
19665s | comes down to and unfortunately miss |
19666s | pulse bomb from alfie lurking on the |
19668s | back end so effectively but just in the |
19670s | final moments you see shoes strafing |
19673s | right side alpha you thought he'd go |
19674s | left |
19675s | it's one of those free kicks you find |
19677s | you know in a football match it's like |
19678s | which way is the goalie going to go |
19680s | and offer you is going to swing wide |
19682s | unfortunately he's not going to land |
19683s | that ball into the net that could have |
19684s | made the big difference there as well as |
19686s | i said they had been very much targeting |
19688s | shu on oaxis shu's had a much better |
19690s | game so far on the attacking side of |
19693s | midtown |
19694s | i mean a lot of this to me still in |
19696s | terms of how this map has gone down |
19698s | comes down to how poorly hungry spark |
19700s | played on b not prioritizing the fact |
19702s | that they were down on ultimates for the |
19703s | initial defense which means to |
19705s | effectively economic to trade |
19707s | economically you have to be the ones |
19709s | throwing yourselves at the allegations |
19710s | to burn their ultimates and even if you |
19712s | do lose team fight |
19714s | i mean they're going to push anyway so |
19715s | you're either just going to sit there |
19716s | doing nothing if they're going to push |
19717s | or you're going to be active maybe |
19718s | you're losing their push but at least |
19720s | you get to win economically so you got |
19721s | to do something there if you're the |
19722s | spark on top of the c9 it was just a bit |
19724s | of a disaster they'll at least be able |
19726s | to make a small comeback on c but this |
19727s | is gladiators i think drawing the line |
19730s | in the sand in terms of having their win |
19732s | conditions set |
19733s | and looking like a very winnable map now |
19735s | for la |
19737s | it really is if they can match that |
19741s | attack or at least you know parts of it |
19743s | with their defense here they should be |
19746s | feeling pretty all right about it |
19747s | super rich swapping out the lucios with |
19749s | brigitta bernard goes crashing forward |
19751s | on the wrecking ball looking to scout |
19756s | looks like no swaps to be had though |
19758s | we'll just be sticking through with this |
19762s | ultra spark as well i mean no real |
19765s | obvious win conditions out of sight of |
19766s | charge maybe getting a peculiar very |
19767s | pick focused kind of composition between |
19770s | ball tracer and sojourn |
19772s | so that alley cloudy is here building |
19775s | nanos until towards the back really |
19776s | effective caps are also on the genji |
19777s | here so no tracer but their dive |
19779s | potential is really strong with the game |
19782s | well shield headshot |
19784s | big opening kill it's patty trying to |
19786s | stay safe the roll through he's looking |
19787s | for the pile driver he makes it around |
19788s | the corner does keep himself protected |
19790s | for a little bit longer but are |
19791s | inevitably joe's man should get on top |
19792s | of the enemy soldier and finds that kill |
19794s | a couple openings here but however he's |
19796s | going to be training for 12. |
19797s | yeah it's just a bloody mess it's cute |
19800s | finds the second one pulls up both dps |
19802s | rather gonna be taken down by him finer |
19804s | here in the stairwell duking it out |
19806s | skewed arrives makes it a bit of an |
19808s | unfair fight they find the elimination |
19810s | they will hold firmly no ticks given up |
19813s | i mean that's almost exactly what we saw |
19815s | earlier with alpha yi and irony playing |
19817s | on the high ground as well with ryder |
19818s | tries to chase this time it's going to |
19820s | be burner trying to chase rhino can't |
19821s | quite get the kill so despite the |
19822s | heroics from shai opening on to shu they |
19825s | couldn't translate that into further |
19826s | kills outside of just padded pan |
19828s | and gladigate is off the back of skewed |
19831s | to get a number of amazing trades that |
19832s | keeps them in the fight bernard's dead |
19834s | already |
19835s | somewhere off screen trying to dive a |
19837s | back line perhaps and shu gets the |
19839s | better of a maybe a sleep into an ante |
19841s | with people corralled around him |
19843s | either way |
19844s | it's a big pick here for the side of the |
19846s | gladiators half the time bank getting |
19848s | ready to be drained down joe's spark |
19850s | first alt coming online the pulse bombs |
19851s | there oh what is that |
19853s | oh my goodness right between the legs |
19855s | gets stuck |
19856s | mid air |
19857s | great stick from lpe and that's going to |
19859s | be the break open they make your way |
19860s | over to the point and also allows for |
19862s | irony to try to catch up |
19865s | ernie's dead though okay that's gonna be |
19866s | a decent pick coming through from glads |
19867s | i mean they can come back here now they |
19868s | have nano they're about to have the |
19870s | transcendence as well but you're right |
19872s | this is a small cap coming in he's |
19873s | trying to he's looking for the |
19874s | elimination he takes him low but oh |
19877s | yeah sure he pops in the need he gets |
19879s | that healing buff he manages to keep |
19880s | skewed alive they can't force the |
19882s | transcendence though |
19883s | now he's out of there no ticks |
19885s | established chemists are dead but with |
19887s | bernard this disconnected from the team |
19888s | they can't really play off the back of |
19889s | this pick now kevin kepster's respawn |
19891s | he's coming back into the fight |
19894s | and that was a perfect reset from glass |
19895s | they saw like five ultimates by the way |
19897s | they haven't had to spend anything that |
19898s | should have been the camera spark they |
19900s | got skewed down they nearly had a |
19901s | successful spawn camp as well but again |
19903s | they can't translate into anything |
19905s | useful with that pick coming through |
19906s | spark half the reset and this is |
19908s | disastrous for the spot because |
19910s | economically again glads are massively |
19912s | in the lead |
19913s | spark despite shining out for you |
19915s | getting these kills they're just not |
19917s | able to find any success |
19918s | trying to look once more bernard goes |
19920s | forward the minefield coming down but he |
19921s | knocks you away from it rather than into |
19923s | it so he can't find any kills captain |
19925s | gonna be shut down no kills to be found |
19927s | with the dragon blade skewed falling |
19930s | that's gonna be a two for three hundred |
19932s | spark |
19933s | winning out it's petty weights take shot |
19935s | at the ready tries to send it through |
19937s | tries to get a head shot he cannot but |
19938s | the hunger sparks still taking the damn |
19940s | time getting their way over onto the |
19942s | point it comes down that'll zone them |
19943s | back for the moment the overclock he's |
19944s | going to slide forward look for an |
19945s | elimination but the rails do not connect |
19948s | first tick finally gonna be grabbed |
19950s | so nearby skewed transcendence |
19953s | ready to use it was get escort the |
19955s | forward should they feel in the fight as |
19956s | winnable shoot now going to be taken |
19957s | down alfie gets him with the pulse bomb |
19960s | a major pickup again they went up |
19962s | this point in this fight |
19964s | dive in reiner down to a sliver |
19966s | healing going his way the manager keeps |
19968s | this thing for a little bit longer but |
19969s | eventually shy and bernard have them |
19971s | surrounded to get the kills and the cap |
19973s | will be coming through for the side of |
19974s | the hangzhou spark but the time bank is |
19976s | significantly weakened they have to |
19978s | absolutely pop off during the street |
19979s | space if they want to finish the map |
19981s | it's another perfect disengage from ali |
19984s | gladiators because they're able to get |
19985s | all their members back in scavengers |
19986s | comes back on a tracer |
19988s | however the sticker from alpha yi once |
19990s | was take a look at this one it's on |
19992s | towards shoe just loves it in there |
19994s | skewed doesn't even matter if he turns |
19996s | around for sure because that is gonna be |
19997s | a perfect kill so eventually alfie he |
19999s | actually got two kills there is going to |
20001s | help spark get it over and it's actually |
20003s | five office burn for gladiators so |
20004s | sparks not only get the cap but they |
20006s | make it incredibly expensive as |
20008s | expensive as possible |
20011s | pretty much |
20012s | leveling up the playing field as far as |
20013s | the old economy is concerned shu a bit |
20015s | of a lead towards that nano boost |
20018s | already gonna be trying to catch up as |
20019s | best as possible but gladiators just |
20021s | occupying the high ground they're more |
20022s | than happy to go ahead and give up a |
20024s | little bit of distance and then try to |
20025s | stop the card waiting for nano top of |
20026s | this underpass ramp |
20029s | shoe's nearly there as well so kind of |
20031s | delaying here it's all keeping tabs on |
20033s | the payload they don't want it to get |
20035s | past the sort of underpass here it's |
20036s | just been slowly pushed in and as we |
20038s | stall out further further gladiators are |
20039s | looking for wind conditions via |
20041s | ultimates they're nearly there that's |
20042s | when things get difficult longer sparks |
20044s | so time for alpha inside to find that |
20045s | opening again before gladiators can move |
20049s | spark skirmishing they do manage to take |
20050s | this high ground for now alfie just |
20052s | going to be itching the cards forward a |
20053s | little bit more nano goes through goes |
20055s | out of the ryan or kemp's are trying to |
20056s | drop down the pulse bomb and shy he |
20057s | doesn't move away from it he has a |
20059s | falling skewed down to a sliver of hp |
20060s | once more but you will be able to keep |
20062s | him |
20063s | alive no kills to be found super rich |
20065s | dead as well i'm just sparking i have to |
20067s | reset and go once more but they do not |
20069s | have time on their side they need to win |
20071s | on this next fight or else this is going |
20072s | to be the gladiators tying up the series |
20075s | well no stick from kevster but the aoe |
20077s | of the pulse one that's just enough to |
20078s | clip shy's legs i believe so still |
20080s | enough for a kill alfie you tried to |
20081s | trade for skewed as we saw did not |
20083s | commit the pulse bomb nearly got the |
20084s | kill |
20085s | unfortunately at the recall away |
20087s | couldn't quite survive in the situation |
20088s | the only silver lining here for the |
20089s | sparks they did get a one for zero and |
20091s | alt trade but we'll see how much that |
20093s | ends up counting for them i think oh |
20094s | sorry actually uh two ultimates out |
20096s | because they're the nano and the pulse |
20098s | bomb so economically they look good time |
20100s | is such an unfortunate situation for the |
20102s | sparks so yeah they have to cap here |
20104s | they need to cap this and they need to |
20105s | do it cheaply |
20107s | jump forward man out bernard gets on top |
20109s | of a shoe as well they find an opening |
20111s | kill transcendence now |
20113s | clearing out the minefield spider-man |
20115s | around the back overclock rolling he's |
20117s | looking for another target pushes up |
20118s | over the ball |
20121s | now looks for a little bit more he will |
20123s | get pressured out however super rich |
20124s | finds that elimination already taken |
20126s | down reiner saying alive drops down he's |
20128s | looking for a semi-aggressive meteor |
20130s | strike either way won't be able to |
20131s | connect onto anybody the touch is there |
20133s | alfie forcing out the overtime recalls |
20136s | back the pulse bomb not gonna find an |
20137s | elimination |
20138s | now they need bernard |
20140s | to try to clear this out |
20141s | pile driver goes through gonna be taken |
20144s | down shy taken out as soon as he pops |
20145s | the overclock as well and this is |
20147s | looking like a wash of ot bleeds away |
20150s | the gladiators with a great defense will |
20153s | be able to take their map pick up |
20154s | midtown and tie this series up one to |
20156s | one |
20157s | that's a fantastic turnaround coming |
20159s | through from the la gladiators you see |
20161s | the humongous pick from powder paint |
20163s | towards the end there the only serious |
20165s | wind condition left for the spark was |
20166s | shy also popping his overclock and maybe |
20169s | getting a few picks to turn around for |
20170s | the spark and actually can't be but kept |
20172s | a killing shy just before that's allowed |
20174s | to happen is everything the glads need |
20177s | to finish things off on this particular |
20178s | map still have to kind of rewind and |
20180s | address the fact that spark to me really |
20182s | threw away their opportunity on defense |
20184s | on that b point completely invisible if |
20186s | it wasn't for that maybe spot could have |
20187s | made it really competitive gladiators |
20190s | capped the map completely don't allow |
20191s | sparks to get past b and it's gonna be a |
20193s | one on one |
20195s | there we go we have as we often say a |
20197s | series on our hands which is exactly |
20199s | what we want to see between these two |
20201s | squads so matt pick working well for the |
20203s | side of the gladiators now the hongzhou |
20205s | spark they will get a selection of their |
20207s | own as we set our sights over towards |
20209s | escort shy and you know could expect |
20212s | maybe something to play a little bit |
20213s | more towards the widowmaker potentially |
20215s | draw out odds we'll have to just wait |
20217s | and see what they land on when we come |
20218s | back |

20463s | [Music] |
20474s | and welcome back we are tied up here in |
20476s | our third series of the evening |
20478s | gladiators able to answer back with a |
20480s | win on their map pick up midtown now we |
20483s | could look forward to hangzhou's pick of |
20485s | escort see where they want to take us |
20487s | and whether or not they can go ahead and |
20488s | move forward in this series up to match |
20490s | point |
20492s | i think the |
20493s | real options here for the spark were |
20495s | going to be gibraltar or dorado i didn't |
20497s | mention earlier before we got into the |
20499s | series that going towards circuit royale |
20501s | might not be the correct choice for the |
20503s | spot given that shia struggled in the |
20504s | water uh match up ons you actually do |
20507s | see just down the tattoos is coming in |
20510s | i'm yeah that's that's the key right |
20512s | there |
20512s | who's got the middle who's got the |
20514s | better tad drip is it going to be xc or |
20515s | ours you decided to chat but uh ons is |
20517s | nonetheless going to come in for the |
20519s | escort and you know it is going to be |
20520s | dorado so we're going to get some |
20521s | sniping in it's going to be really nice |
20523s | to see um |
20524s | still has to be something that shy comes |
20526s | up against in terms of giving the |
20528s | hangzhou spark something to work with |
20530s | for a map like this |
20532s | uh and the other substitution that we've |
20534s | talked about is that bernard's been |
20536s | subbed up for gucci so we are moving |
20537s | towards a more winston sort of favored |
20539s | map which is why i was thinking either |
20541s | gibraltar or this dorado because they're |
20543s | both really winston favored rhino |
20545s | obviously doesn't mind he's going to be |
20546s | flourishing here regardless and |
20548s | um yeah i mean a brilliant map from |
20551s | gladys we saw some fantastic macro |
20553s | strategies the decision making that |
20554s | disengages i mean |
20556s | that really is |
20558s | the most immaculate |
20560s | i think decision making in terms of how |
20561s | they're disengaging when they're using |
20563s | ultimates all that kind of stuff on that |
20564s | midtown that's masterclass to me |
20567s | it's absolutely excellent to watch now |
20569s | we'll see how they fare as we move into |
20571s | dorado hangzhou spark |
20574s | bringing us here to see if they can take |
20576s | the lead once more |
20577s | trying to close things up with a 3-1 |
20579s | gladiator cell looking very much alive |
20582s | playing a hell of a lot more uh |
20586s | together i suppose |
20588s | convincingly as well and not only that |
20590s | but like |
20591s | any team that can survive situations |
20595s | but you can still but you can still sort |
20597s | of make that comeback and i'm not just |
20599s | talking counter frag because counter |
20600s | frag is like the most straight up way to |
20602s | try and make that comeback happen but |
20603s | just regrouping while sort of keeping |
20606s | objectives contested you know that sort |
20608s | of disengage we saw in midtown where |
20610s | they're down multiple members alfie gets |
20611s | that vertical stick which by the way is |
20613s | exceptionally difficult to do |
20615s | um which is why it was so impressive to |
20617s | see but even despite that spark couldn't |
20619s | find a single tick on on a and you know |
20621s | that stuff really makes all the |
20622s | difference but as we move over towards |
20624s | escort focus maps |
20626s | is coming through versus shai we'll see |
20629s | what shai wants to do here there's |
20630s | actually the surgeon first and foremost |
20632s | not even going to look at the water yet |
20634s | uh interesting to see that will come |
20635s | through maybe on the b point instead |
20638s | but rhino versus goose ray i think is is |
20640s | the key battle here for us because we |
20641s | sort of noted that in the |
20642s | pre-show as well about how good goose |
20645s | was winston has been historically versus |
20646s | now the rookie of rhino |
20648s | oh didn't spot him out he was right on |
20651s | the opposite side of that wall i'm |
20653s | surprised he didn't put any damage into |
20654s | ons but |
20655s | by the way on's not finding too much |
20657s | just a shot into the shield of super |
20659s | rich swish weight jumping across the |
20661s | opposite side for now carter's gonna be |
20663s | inching forward by reiner good choice |
20665s | slept on the high ground can they get a |
20667s | punish is the question kevster moves up |
20668s | the bionate comes down gishway gonna be |
20670s | making his exit leaping back in with the |
20671s | rest of the squad |
20672s | as alfie and kepster duke it out a |
20674s | little bit here on the high ground push |
20676s | up for months he's looking for the god |
20678s | so very close hasn't quite been able to |
20680s | nail it yet though bubble comes down |
20682s | goose way stays protected as he eats yet |
20683s | another ante |
20685s | continuing to get chipped away out needs |
20686s | to get jumped back in with the rest of |
20687s | the team he's got a little bit of hp |
20689s | someone get this man some heels |
20692s | we'll be able to do the cut kefsta is on |
20695s | the genji so he can't just blink it as a |
20696s | tracer he's playing for verticality here |
20698s | the good news that gladiators with |
20699s | effective damage of the goose ray still |
20701s | get this push in you know this is even |
20703s | including the fact that they dropped the |
20704s | member to shy so |
20705s | a 4v5 that guys don't really care about |
20707s | they'll just play the situation slowly |
20709s | wait for the reese for the shot once |
20710s | again picking up the opening frag that's |
20712s | two now coming through from shy can |
20714s | spark get more ground off the back of |
20715s | this one gladiators have a lot of paler |
20717s | push so far yep this is the archway push |
20719s | without a single kill coming through but |
20721s | then shy he rectified that kept the |
20723s | ticket down now the dive comes in we're |
20725s | looking for the cleanup and all these |
20726s | kills they can find |
20728s | gonna be pretty devastating from the |
20729s | side of the gladiators in the time bank |
20730s | that they lose |
20732s | some extended |
20734s | little pickups here for the side of the |
20735s | hangzhou spark |
20737s | not only the giant staggers but that's |
20739s | actually going to be a lot of old farms |
20740s | as well specifically rhino dying i was |
20742s | kind of you know had major compliments |
20744s | for the early gladius macro up until |
20745s | sort of that point but you know i won't |
20747s | be grilling them too hard for that one |
20749s | you know those kind of things happen and |
20750s | typically they've been playing pretty |
20751s | damn good so far the fact that they had |
20753s | zero kills by the way and still managed |
20754s | to push the payload under archway is |
20756s | phenomenal i mean that that is really |
20758s | exceptional stuff to have zero kills and |
20760s | that much push really good just great |
20762s | pressure being applied forcing gucci's |
20764s | position really opening up to the push |
20766s | there capture now it's going to be man |
20767s | up as the blade comes through so far |
20768s | kind of slashing it air and oh boy |
20771s | ironing weights it out manages to get |
20772s | asleep and he's woken back up i wonder |
20774s | if that was super rich coming through |
20775s | the minds swinging the flail |
20777s | who does uh |
20778s | lead to his supports death but the |
20780s | cleanup is still looking good for the |
20781s | side of the hangzhou spark as the health |
20783s | packs come flying through as quickly as |
20784s | he possibly can |
20786s | as well and shy he does finally get |
20788s | cleaned down this bridge just rerouting |
20790s | trying to avoid reiner as much as |
20793s | humanly possible alfie off screen got a |
20794s | pulse bomb stick on the shoe found that |
20796s | elimination now with the transcendence |
20797s | expiring skewed he's got to pull way |
20799s | back away |
20802s | spark though still waiting for members |
20804s | you see that glads actually have area |
20805s | control ryan is healed back up he's |
20806s | going back in the rally was decent from |
20808s | super rich but because they lose sight |
20810s | unfortunately gooseberry going down |
20812s | after primal |
20813s | the hunger really in trouble could be |
20815s | catastrophic for him shot he's gonna pop |
20817s | this the overclock just now built up |
20819s | looking for a target and there it is |
20821s | back to back headshots odds and shoot |
20823s | full taking out of the fight reiner |
20825s | trying to play around the bubble but |
20826s | eventually falls |
20828s | absolutely massive from shy i thought |
20830s | maybe he was going to save it because it |
20831s | looked like all hope was lost in this |
20833s | fight for the hong kong spark but shy |
20834s | says uh-uh it's winnable and he makes it |
20836s | happen |
20838s | yeah people keep talking about merit |
20840s | they talk about kayak |
20841s | i'm number one baby this is what the |
20843s | best soldier in the world is supposed to |
20844s | look like and hunger spark will be able |
20846s | to rescue themselves shy with opening |
20848s | two first blood kills on previous fights |
20850s | will save this payload and this point as |
20852s | well with heroics on the overclock and |
20854s | now down to 30 seconds that's disastrous |
20856s | for the hailey gladius but they have |
20857s | another blade coming on through no real |
20859s | defenses on the hunger spark so they |
20861s | need to survive against him okay the |
20863s | blade once more sleep duck goes out the |
20864s | deflect was used captain you're gonna be |
20866s | sniped out of the air super rich take |
20868s | him down the cart started the inch |
20869s | forward someone's gonna contest it and |
20870s | they do |
20871s | two meters left to go gooshway going to |
20873s | be anthony here for the moment the nano |
20874s | comes through he dives into the back |
20875s | line finds ons taken out skewed under a |
20879s | little bit of fire the support holds |
20880s | nearly there for the side of the |
20881s | gladiator shoe nearly playable finally |
20883s | the primals gonna come through ryder |
20885s | dives in the back he manages to find |
20886s | irony this time no sleep start there and |
20888s | try to shut him out of this detroit |
20889s | gonna be matching with the discord orbs |
20891s | applying so much pressure and he's got |
20892s | to make his exit without irony there the |
20894s | healing is just so very slow and steady |
20896s | from the side of super rich who has now |
20897s | fallen skewed cleaning up some kills |
20900s | gets those eliminations through and they |
20902s | will finally be able to break into point |
20903s | a get that two and a half minute time |
20905s | bump but oh boy the hangzhou spark they |
20908s | made them dig deep |
20910s | yeah that was a hard stopping moment |
20912s | there for the ali gladiators they had |
20913s | kept says play to get shut down by shy |
20916s | but the back line of the alley gladiator |
20918s | stands strong shoe and skewed did not go |
20920s | down the healing throughput onto ryan to |
20922s | allow him to stay on the payload gucci |
20924s | trying to bounce back between two |
20925s | different fights the same time he wants |
20927s | to go after the supports of the |
20928s | gladiators but at the same time he needs |
20930s | to help his team contest the payload so |
20932s | he couldn't really focus on either of |
20934s | the two engagements happening and spark |
20936s | just don't get the kills alpha you |
20937s | missed the pulse bomb as well and the |
20939s | gladiators stay in the game |
20941s | dynamite out flips on the goose way |
20943s | that's gonna give on the first bomb |
20946s | it's alfie |
20948s | noted |
20951s | kepster's just calling for him saying |
20952s | yeah yeah can we please deal with this |
20954s | guy kempster deals with him oh my |
20956s | goodness |
20958s | puts him right on the ground a huge play |
20961s | from him in the cart once more making a |
20962s | good distance with a relatively low time |
20965s | investment from the side of the |
20966s | gladiators but now is the cleanup oh |
20968s | gonna be a little bit more costly ryder |
20970s | jumped up over the top was slept once |
20972s | more gonna be woken up as he looks for a |
20975s | little bit of value with this ultimate |
20977s | but widely he's not going to be finding |
20978s | a damn thing now needs to try to make |
20980s | his way out to safety the shot's coming |
20981s | his way and i don't know if he quite |
20983s | realizes |
20984s | behind him but there's the cleanup he's |
20986s | taken |
20987s | out in either case i mean i think he was |
20990s | he was pretty comfortably dead there and |
20992s | that was a a fight for the hungry |
20993s | sparkler that went through draw picks |
20995s | alone because alex glady has put |
20996s | themselves in an interesting situation |
20998s | they have payload control they also have |
21000s | the ultimates in spark the only owning |
21001s | where they're committed to engage hard |
21003s | find those picks and then you're |
21004s | shooting your arms or you're confused do |
21006s | i pop the outfits here or not shoe pops |
21008s | to the nano but arms here's the tapes on |
21009s | the bob so the clarity is they have to |
21011s | accept their loss there and now spark |
21013s | are the ones looking at five volts alfie |
21015s | playing solo low ground just keeping the |
21016s | car hauled to the bottom gonna be coming |
21017s | through instantly delete super rich on |
21020s | finding an elimination in that regard |
21021s | but everybody else piles in around him |
21023s | they get the elimination shy once more |
21025s | finds you finds scooty gets right |
21027s | against every damn person on the side of |
21029s | the glass just about and there's the |
21030s | ocean god cleans up kebster to boot and |
21033s | it's a team wipe with no time left in |
21036s | the time saying |
21038s | i don't know i don't know what you think |
21040s | the highest railgun accuracy you've ever |
21042s | seen this but shy's on 85 85 |
21046s | he's only missing 15 |
21048s | it takes the cake the math checks out |
21050s | utterly incredible the touch is there |
21052s | they will force out over time the |
21053s | gladiator still now such a significant |
21055s | amount of distance to try to close if |
21056s | they want to get that extra minute and a |
21058s | half the hong kong's parked the old |
21059s | economy is still so damn healthy for |
21061s | them |
21062s | skewed holding onto the transcendence |
21063s | for now pulse pump from caspers they're |
21065s | not gonna find a kill ons once more |
21066s | under fire goes low nearly gets |
21068s | eliminated but we'll lift the fight |
21069s | another day would see |
21071s | take him down low because alfie trying |
21074s | to track doesn't have a recall available |
21076s | for a couple more seconds dips around |
21077s | the corner throws out the pulse it |
21078s | sticks to the wall and it's not going to |
21079s | get a kill irony in the meantime |
21081s | eliminated reiner finding the pick off |
21084s | hope he has to make his exit to jump |
21086s | back over here onto the car goose way |
21087s | trying to keep it contested but again |
21088s | the kill discord orbs the target |
21090s | focusing from skewed is so good they |
21093s | find the elimination 1.75 meters left to |
21095s | go now 0.37 they have to keep it |
21098s | contested without b dying they cannot |
21100s | the gladiators continue to scrape by and |
21103s | get these caps by the skin of their |
21104s | teeth |
21105s | a minute and a half to try to finish |
21107s | this map it's not looking great for them |
21110s | yeah shy could get staggered here as |
21111s | well but now he'll finish off ryan and |
21112s | that is going to be at least a number of |
21114s | a number of trades coming through for |
21115s | the hong kong spot so many times from |
21118s | that fight by the way how low shy was |
21119s | gladius know that he's the key target |
21121s | they are running out of trying to keep a |
21122s | lid on that guy and because he was |
21124s | literally on one hp from just way too |
21126s | extend over time for the hunger spot |
21128s | they didn't heal them up in time |
21129s | the damage wasn't enough alex gladys |
21132s | when push comes to stop we get |
21134s | twice in a row now brilliant opening |
21135s | shot from arms as well by the way |
21137s | it's going to be the ot push on a the ot |
21139s | push on b reiner staying alive boot |
21141s | straight going down alpha you missed the |
21142s | pulse bomb and now the snow |
21144s | uh the snowball coming through from the |
21146s | la gladiators with a few more important |
21148s | kills |
21149s | oh irony in a bit of a rough position |
21151s | now |
21152s | appeal they're attempting it to get the |
21153s | sleep dart out on the right or the ante |
21154s | down as well and shy will be able to |
21156s | finish him with the rail look at the |
21157s | distance however is free pushing right |
21158s | now with 30 seconds left to go and it's |
21160s | nearly at the finish line but shy once |
21162s | more he comes back through instantly |
21164s | finds two kills the nano had gone out oh |
21167s | shy reception as well the overclock |
21169s | popped spot shoot over here in the flank |
21171s | room gets him in the end with the rail |
21173s | kept her dead gladiators once more |
21176s | suffering heavy losses with just 10 |
21178s | seconds remaining but they do get such a |
21180s | significant amount of distance here |
21182s | should be able to get a final touch here |
21183s | from ryan who nearly has the play more |
21185s | it's not looking like no it should be |
21186s | careful shy he just destroys a mid-air |
21189s | shot as well get out of the server spark |
21191s | i definitely gotta be to hold this one |
21193s | but |
21194s | i have to put an asterisk on that one |
21196s | don't celebrate too early for the spark |
21198s | gladiators |
21199s | the heroics to be able to cap that |
21201s | amount of distance |
21203s | especially under duress again a point ot |
21207s | push spark wanted the full hole didn't |
21209s | get it |
21210s | b point ot push spark wanted to hold on |
21212s | b did not get it look at this distance |
21214s | on c as well that's disgusting for 130. |
21217s | glads are happy with that look i think |
21219s | it's |
21220s | it's a pop-off moment for spark in |
21222s | various cases but the glads as a team |
21225s | in terms of the objective they get it |
21227s | done 80 46 |
21229s | this is a blue collar day for the l.a |
21230s | gladiators it's not pretty they |
21232s | definitely got their hands dirty but the |
21233s | job is done that's a winnable position |
21235s | for the gladiators that they can't be |
21236s | mad at but uh i repeat again |
21239s | spark here |
21241s | uh mechanically |
21243s | off the back of shy especially |
21245s | hitting some of the most disgusting |
21246s | shots that we're looking at |
21248s | see it here once again |
21254s | the only kill that he was not able to |
21256s | net for himself |
21258s | i just |
21259s | slides in for utterly peace |
21263s | jesus christ oh yeah you finish him off |
21266s | finish him off the mid blink again |
21272s | yeah so |
21273s | start line coming through here |
21275s | shy currently sitting on 20 final blows |
21277s | the entire l.a gladiators only have 23 |
21280s | final ones they say only it's a decent |
21282s | amount but shy is three final blows away |
21284s | from matching the entirety of all five |
21286s | members of the gladiators is he dead |
21288s | lifting currently because it |
21290s | kind of feels like it he is 20 out of |
21293s | 33. he's he's more than deadly we've |
21295s | heard of flinder deadlifts welcome to |
21297s | shy deadlift |
21299s | that is uh just so |
21301s | 20 out of 33 |
21305s | uh just casually picking up nearly 66 of |
21309s | your team's skills |
21312s | oh it's a normal day for shia ricken |
21314s | it would seem like it |
21316s | jump up here gets himself in on the high |
21318s | ground sends out the nade this time the |
21320s | rail not gonna connect |
21322s | accuracy takes a hit |
21324s | so does reiner so he makes his exit back |
21325s | up on the high ground |
21328s | i mean he's just got free range right |
21330s | now no one's punishing him |
21332s | look how far forward he's live |
21335s | i can't get that kill |
21336s | just take him to the chest man just to |
21338s | survive trying to not diving forward |
21340s | good weight once more just these discord |
21341s | or this cord orbs are just sitting on |
21343s | him excuse me yeah we just got to get |
21346s | rid of the monkey if we can do that |
21347s | but we're going to be sitting pretty so |
21348s | just keeps them on good way constantly |
21353s | there's a scary moment as well 100 |
21354s | charge being held |
21356s | doesn't want to burn on rhino or iron |
21358s | strikes first so that can be the risk |
21360s | you take take too long to fire no one's |
21362s | is putting their head out for display |
21373s | a little minor assist from irony who |
21374s | does end up getting dropped at the back |
21376s | end of that kepster falling low and |
21378s | nothing to do to mitigate the damage |
21380s | yeah three kills for him trying to get |
21382s | sights over towards reiner who can just |
21383s | grab that health pack and exhale over |
21385s | the wall back into the market area |
21391s | and now this is real distance coming |
21392s | through nano should be coming on to ryan |
21393s | in the next little bit we'll maybe even |
21395s | say for kevs that the blade is nearly |
21396s | there that could be a win condition now |
21398s | on the other side nearly here for irony |
21400s | expect a big old fight coming on through |
21402s | arn's desperate for a pick that would be |
21403s | brilliant for the helicopters a single |
21405s | pick from irons but he gets killed that |
21407s | he does shy once more because out aiming |
21410s | him with the rail takes his head off |
21412s | kepster he pulls the blade he's added up |
21414s | but he is so very low has to make his |
21416s | exit and this one's just right just |
21418s | slicing there ryan are in the meantime |
21420s | dead now they know where kevin's at and |
21422s | they're just gonna wave at him as the |
21424s | car goes gliding by and he gives up he |
21426s | just sits there kevin says yeah just go |
21427s | ahead kill me i need to reset |
21429s | yeah he will do so well thank you |
21431s | i i i understand kev still but ryder had |
21434s | an option for primal there maybe they |
21435s | just accept the fact ally gladius as the |
21437s | whole the call from the team is give it |
21439s | up we'll play for b instead |
21441s | saddest nano blade in the world there |
21442s | just a 40 hp cancer running for a health |
21445s | pack with his nano blade ryan with the |
21446s | primal obstacle not blow it |
21449s | we'll now go for the b defense |
21451s | we're talking about irons needing to |
21452s | open up for a frag that side against |
21454s | arms from a long range alpha you pick up |
21457s | with the shoe as well now high ground |
21459s | being contested very early by the hunter |
21461s | spark it's a few and far in between |
21463s | where we're seeing these shots coming |
21464s | through from on dude it keeps happening |
21466s | keeps happening shy gets another one now |
21468s | the infrasights up but |
21470s | doesn't have too many great targets to |
21472s | choose from ryan are going to be taking |
21473s | a nap and he does get woken up he's |
21474s | trying to take down shy but look at all |
21476s | of the resource allocation and just keep |
21479s | him alive |
21480s | reiner has barely managed to make it out |
21482s | of there |
21484s | as well under fire will get taken down |
21485s | by gucci |
21487s | push continues hangzhou spark breaking |
21490s | open his point b stretch |
21493s | look out just the shy's ability just to |
21495s | pressure down the glass they can barely |
21497s | even walk out of spawn they're just |
21498s | taking so much damage i will take the |
21500s | opposite side that's a shot coming |
21501s | through that connects as well really see |
21503s | onto who overclock available this is |
21505s | going to be deadly |
21506s | we're actually just going to transfer it |
21508s | so the transfers force cushion for |
21509s | stretch yeah he's just popping it he's |
21511s | all the way out into the back the pulse |
21512s | pump in offers up a hell of a lot of |
21514s | damage onto the rest and skews is an |
21516s | easy cleanup kill now the support's gone |
21518s | ryanair auntie dead |
21521s | it's just kepster and there's just not a |
21523s | damn thing he can do here he'll build up |
21524s | the pole oh my god a few seconds but |
21526s | four minutes |
21528s | they just didn't even really have to |
21529s | finish the map |
21532s | does get a return frag but i don't think |
21534s | you know |
21535s | yeah the split spawns coming on through |
21537s | some bad spots for a few players there's |
21538s | shy slow down here but still moving on |
21540s | through nano clock available watch out |
21542s | for that one 195 rails will be shy he's |
21544s | been accurate on the head shots this |
21545s | time just a breath of wind on a couple |
21547s | players plus the body shots enough for a |
21549s | kill |
21550s | nano online for shoe in just a hot |
21551s | second here but it's three and a half |
21553s | minutes to get to the end of see they |
21554s | don't have to finish them out but they |
21556s | do have to get to the end |
21560s | drop down there's the stick very nice |
21562s | little real play from kepster |
21564s | making it look flashy |
21566s | made comes out from shy just to keep |
21568s | them zoned back |
21569s | for now hong sho spark will just wait |
21571s | for the reset |
21572s | for irony to rejoin they do have time on |
21574s | their side for the moment overclocking |
21577s | already |
21578s | deleted |
21581s | to close the sun there is my boy |
21584s | yeah he was looking for the very |
21585s | aggressive |
21587s | peak |
21588s | so his ego gets checked at least a |
21589s | little bit there good to know the |
21590s | gladiators about that all right at least |
21593s | allowed to be able to get that frag on |
21594s | him |
21596s | the previous one by the way |
21598s | where i'm strongly actually who died |
21600s | there but in either case gladys you know |
21602s | two picks ago reset the hyundai spark |
21604s | and that's very important as far as map |
21606s | control goes because otherwise spock |
21607s | will look at the snowball there's irony |
21609s | i believe |
21611s | oh and then forward shoot take it down |
21613s | good way moving in rails now flying and |
21615s | odds got nowhere to go but the respawn |
21617s | room taken out recall used by kev to |
21620s | just try to keep himself protected |
21622s | reiner pops the prime old does juggle |
21624s | around irony quite a bit and eventually |
21626s | gets the elimination enough cheyenne |
21628s | has to slide out of the corner there |
21630s | however manages to trade it back now |
21632s | caps are going to be taken down i'll be |
21633s | fine with the kill that pulls pop let |
21634s | loose not gonna find a kill |
21637s | keeps them at an arm's length continues |
21639s | to poke and prod |
21640s | back up but yeah he built it at the very |
21642s | last second |
21643s | so very low his max skewed over towards |
21646s | the cart that's gonna be the |
21646s | transcendence and the nano boost both |
21648s | used onto the zenyatta just so he could |
21650s | try to stay alive |
21652s | rejoin over back towards the car |
21654s | reiner falling lower and lower pull |
21656s | pumps and kept they're not going to find |
21657s | anything anthony goes out of the two |
21659s | irony getting chipped away at now |
21661s | eliminated shoe finds that kill but |
21663s | ryder and skewed have both fallen |
21665s | ons along the bottom |
21666s | is gonna be invested it goes through but |
21668s | super rich is gonna sit in front of it |
21670s | they focus fire take out the bob clean |
21672s | up the rest hans will fall the cart once |
21675s | more gliding forward skewed with a |
21676s | desperate swap over the lucio just |
21678s | cannot stay in this and reiner can't |
21680s | arrive in time with a pile driver just |
21682s | too far up into the air |
21684s | the old tizzy play |
21686s | from apex season four and there you have |
21688s | it hangzhou spark will be able to finish |
21690s | the map they will get the win and move |
21692s | up to win one |
21695s | take |
21696s | take a bow shy as well i think the |
21698s | single greatest sojourn performance |
21700s | we've seen this entire season hands down |
21702s | yes tell me if there's a better one |
21705s | never talk about merit or kai in the |
21707s | same sentence as shy ever again that was |
21709s | unbelievable in terms of what the output |
21713s | was again as a reminder |
21715s | i literally saw the stat line come up |
21718s | at the b point defense for the hundred |
21721s | spot before they lost |
21722s | 85 |
21725s | railgun accuracy for shy 85 8 5 |
21730s | he's he's just nasty |
21732s | absolutely incredible play from shine |
21735s | from the hang show spark collectively |
21736s | because everybody was sharing in that |
21738s | wind gucci with some fantastic moments |
21740s | as well but that is the hangzhou spark |
21742s | now bringing in this two match point |
21744s | with a win gladiators have their choice |
21746s | for push see whether or not they can tie |
21749s | it up once more and give us yet another |
21750s | map five |

22032s | another for proper |
22034s | spark on against you better sparkle |
22036s | found an opening there's one there's two |
22038s | that's the sparkle i want to see in this |
22040s | series those stats |
22042s | getting padded by sparkle sparkle with |
22045s | two and another one it's gonna be a heck |
22047s | of a weekend i'll tell you right now you |
22048s | get kai set up it is gonna be just like |
22051s | that the rest of the game back on their |
22053s | side of the map that's a stink oh |
22055s | checkmate |
22056s | a widow player potentially without equal |
22059s | that is some filthy stuff where did that |
22061s | come from a triple death blossom but |
22064s | pelican comes out of |
22071s | dragons just continue to play right out |
22073s | in front of the spot there's the blade b |
22075s | can be used nice pin long pin two alpha |
22078s | into the back there managing to fight |
22080s | two basically the equivalent of three |
22081s | people he nearly had all the kills seoul |
22084s | dynasty have not defeated the shanghai |
22085s | dragon since the 2020 playoffs i think |
22087s | these are the top two teams in apac mc3 |
22090s | goes absolutely monstrous they take down |
22093s | the dragons i swing the best widowmaker |
22096s | in all of apac no he fell onto it |
22099s | chester who has been frightening ever |
22101s | since he joined this team smurf knows |
22103s | what it feels like to win everything |
22105s | hungry to experience that feeling once |
22108s | more |
22109s | [Music] |
22111s | edison is locked in ready to go and |
22113s | awesome with a 5k |
22116s | that's what you want to see they might |
22117s | just pull the trigger here they do but |
22119s | i'm unreal from |
22121s | now the stakes get ratcheted up |
22124s | unnotched yeah this two or three pops |
22127s | the recall is looking for the target |
22128s | that comes in he's gonna might fit him |
22129s | probably the meantime found two with the |
22131s | pulse bomb |
22132s | han bin is the best sire in the world |
22134s | right now shu has absolutely taken |
22137s | matters into his own hands |
22139s | but |
22140s | free firing on the fuel and after so |
22144s | very long the dynasty will be able to |
22146s | best the dragons playoffs profit has |
22149s | certainly arrived the script riders |
22150s | they're not messing around today you |
22152s | step up to the plate son with a |
22154s | victorious war the gladiators are just |
22156s | tearing them apart sword dynasty will |
22159s | dominate their way and secure the |
22161s | kickoff flash title |
22168s | and we are back and oh boy this series |
22172s | has been absolutely insane so far 2-1 |
22175s | the lead here for the side of the |
22176s | hangzhou spark after just putting on a |
22179s | clinic on their map pick of dorado |
22183s | turns out to be really really good for |
22184s | the hunger spark you know guru schwein |
22186s | coming in for a map that he's very |
22188s | confident on you get to see the goose |
22189s | right uh winston again but as we move |
22192s | forward to a push map here this is where |
22194s | bernard rejoins the team likely to be |
22196s | playing some like a ball here which has |
22198s | been pretty popular on coliseum that is |
22199s | going to be the map choice from the l |
22201s | gladiators pedophile also coming in for |
22203s | arms as well to be taken over sergeant |
22205s | duties funny astra for skewed gives you |
22208s | a few options for playing potentially |
22210s | reinhardt this is gonna be the one thing |
22212s | i want to focus on uh the possibility of |
22215s | ali gladiators playing a london style |
22218s | rhine brawl composition with the ryan |
22220s | man himself rainer the funny guy is |
22222s | specifically on the lucio for that it's |
22224s | an option i don't know if they're gonna |
22225s | go for it but this is the test because |
22227s | we have had this conversation multiple |
22229s | times with the uh other personalities |
22232s | and the you know broadcast talent as |
22233s | well which is to say can the eastern |
22236s | division teams from apac play up against |
22238s | the best of north america's brian brawl |
22241s | if this does happen |
22242s | then that question will be answered |
22245s | we will see gladiators up gonna need the |
22248s | dig deep see if they can take this into |
22251s | yet another map five scenario |
22254s | fusion were able to persevere in one |
22256s | just before this long joe spark they |
22259s | want to avoid it though they want to |
22260s | look like a little bit of a cleaner |
22261s | representative here in apac is one of |
22263s | the last two remaining and uh they want |
22265s | to be able to take this with a 3-1 loser |
22267s | of this series of course will be falling |
22269s | down and playing up against the fusion |
22272s | in their next series |
22275s | see who it's going to be the gladiators |
22277s | need to get a victory right here right |
22278s | now |
22280s | and i'll tell you what no matter what |
22281s | the result of this right now is |
22283s | you know i think we all win as viewers |
22284s | because this is the absolute highest |
22287s | tier overwatch that you really can get |
22289s | between what is now in my mind because |
22292s | seoul have dropped out of the tournament |
22293s | sparker arguably the best apac team |
22295s | coming in still pending what |
22297s | shanghai dragons and shock do a little |
22299s | bit later on glads have been arguably |
22301s | the best north american team coming in |
22303s | again pending what shock do later on as |
22305s | well |
22306s | so really no matter what you're getting |
22308s | the very best of both regions clashing |
22310s | here |
22310s | and |
22311s | spark being up 2-1 at this very moment |
22313s | in time with gladiators looking to maybe |
22315s | bounce back this to a map fly by winning |
22317s | their map pick on to coliseum i mean the |
22320s | very top of both regions squared off |
22323s | very impressively even across the board |
22325s | any team can win |
22326s | well the gates have opened on coliseum |
22329s | as you can see gladiators moving forward |
22332s | over towards fountain |
22334s | joe spark seemingly expecting this |
22336s | positionings they hang back a bit |
22338s | waiting for the bot to go ahead and |
22339s | unlock and allow for bernard to use this |
22342s | person ball to go ahead and do some |
22343s | scouting and kepster doesn't he doesn't |
22346s | know how to turn right he didn't see him |
22348s | so they don't know where the ball is he |
22349s | wouldn't have expected that he probably |
22350s | would never expect that burner was there |
22352s | but you see that you know hundreds |
22353s | they're ready for it obviously because |
22354s | they spotted him but ironing even had oh |
22356s | okay and instantly kev drops on top of |
22358s | shy with the help of rhino |
22360s | uh very nice |
22362s | early kill to kick things off different |
22364s | side of the gladiators and get this spot |
22366s | moving irony gonna be taken down as well |
22369s | lasted a little bit longer than i might |
22370s | have anticipated for zenyatta but |
22372s | it does end up falling all the same |
22374s | thought he's going to be contested for a |
22375s | moment but they've already gained 10 |
22377s | meters here and with these kills coming |
22379s | through they've broken open the map and |
22381s | can now |
22382s | now start to get this push going |
22385s | yeah that's a really strange situation |
22387s | as well where spark had knowledge that |
22388s | it was going to be a big flank from |
22389s | kepster and yet they seem to be somewhat |
22391s | prepared in in some ways but also |
22393s | unprepared in other ways because the |
22395s | combination of reiner punching shy first |
22396s | again they know who their main target |
22398s | here is with caps also coming in for the |
22399s | early kill |
22401s | is going to be the 4v5 that gets |
22402s | snowballed heavily |
22405s | there's the stick |
22406s | that's the shield super rich he had to |
22408s | drop but just the frame |
22410s | captures manages to weave that one throw |
22413s | gets the kill now chasing forward love |
22415s | to get that punish on the alpha yi for a |
22416s | little bit of additional stagger but |
22418s | doesn't want to pursue too terribly deep |
22420s | healthy he does |
22422s | gets on top of him but now shy caught up |
22424s | at the crossfire ends up going down lpg |
22426s | lobbing in the pulse pawn but it doesn't |
22428s | get the stick doesn't get the connection |
22429s | in the gladiator lately unhindered right |
22431s | now bernard slows it up in just a moment |
22433s | but he's by himself and realistically |
22434s | can't do anything here super rich will |
22436s | finally find kevster leaving in a bit of |
22438s | the pressure but the pot continues to |
22440s | advance forward the checkpoint may just |
22441s | be able to be taken |
22443s | here that was the first kill by the way |
22445s | coming through from spark that's their |
22446s | second on the shoot |
22447s | funny ash with the sound barrier it's |
22448s | not gonna end up saving shoot but they |
22450s | can still cap this one just a few more |
22451s | kills required backline gone for the |
22452s | spot now |
22454s | broken down shy taken out as well |
22456s | bernard rearriving to stop the bot from |
22458s | moving forward and taking his little |
22460s | break |
22461s | starts hinging forward once more with |
22462s | the cleanup of the bernard there you go |
22463s | the checkpoint achieved gladiators |
22466s | in |
22467s | i want to say like record time managed |
22469s | to get all the way here 65 meters away |
22471s | start pushing again yep |
22473s | two and a half it's insane and you know |
22474s | you see the gladiators back out now this |
22476s | is more that fantastic glides macro you |
22477s | see not going to over commit for further |
22479s | push sneak up to 70 meters it's enough |
22482s | you want to regroup with shoe here bit |
22484s | of a quiet start for the hangzhou spark |
22485s | only two frags one from burner one from |
22487s | super rich and ella gladius after sort |
22489s | of reviewing what happened on dorado |
22490s | they're putting all their attention on |
22492s | killing shy and he's died three times so |
22494s | far but here's the overclock quick |
22496s | damage over towards paddy will be able |
22497s | to shut him down a nice response here |
22499s | for the side of the hong kong show is |
22500s | sparking shy gets another kill as well |
22502s | with reiner falling his own overclock |
22504s | now at the ready funny astro will be |
22506s | sniped so some crucial kills to be found |
22508s | but the healthy gladiators they set |
22510s | themselves up so nicely at the start of |
22512s | this map that the hong kong spark have |
22513s | their work cut out for them if they want |
22514s | to be able to tie this up |
22516s | yeah and they have the time advantage |
22518s | here as well for the alley gladius and |
22519s | the fact that they have so much to play |
22521s | with to try and defend rp good stick |
22524s | coming through that's going to be a |
22525s | hundred spark 5 versus full now glides |
22527s | have the option of just trying to play |
22528s | aggressively here to go for trades |
22529s | because if they do get trades their |
22531s | respawn advantage helps them out but |
22532s | their call is going to be to wait for |
22533s | the respawns play the proper five versus |
22535s | five the issue is they don't have |
22537s | ultimate spark are still technically |
22539s | snowballing too well to mitch the play |
22541s | through riley could be pretty huge here |
22545s | jumping into the back looking for irony |
22546s | picks him low bernard slept |
22548s | looks like he will get eliminated there |
22551s | in the end maybe for just a brief moment |
22552s | he's going to be able to survive but |
22554s | kepster gets on top of him reiner |
22555s | narrowly surviving looks for alpha he |
22558s | forces the recoil the punch is perfect |
22560s | time to read from him but outfit he |
22562s | still manages to shut him down funny |
22563s | astro however hovering nearby gets that |
22565s | kill then we'll have a sound barrier |
22567s | online i'll go spark in the meantime |
22569s | continue to push a little bit as they |
22570s | get slowed up here can't count four |
22572s | meters but they're not gonna be able to |
22574s | make it to the cap |
22576s | there's just not enough members alive so |
22577s | the gladiators are gonna be able to |
22579s | trade effectively i mean ryan even just |
22581s | forcing the one |
22582s | he doesn't get the kill himself but |
22584s | funny ashrae cleans it up right xalphi |
22585s | he was on one hp and like you said an |
22587s | insane read on the recall coming from |
22589s | alpha yi stops his rampage spark without |
22591s | the help of all their members alive they |
22593s | have to back on out 44.76 is all the |
22595s | spark will get brilliant defense by |
22597s | clouds |
22599s | looking great so far in the old economy |
22601s | really in their favor alfie he sends on |
22604s | the pulse bomb the only open they did |
22605s | have at the disposal and it doesn't find |
22606s | any purchase so no kill ironing dead |
22609s | shot not taking down as well but they |
22611s | our day answer back who's gonna be |
22613s | invested in the chemistry super rich |
22614s | finds that kill he'll be able to clean |
22616s | up bernard as well after he swaps over |
22618s | onto the zarya |
22619s | continues to chase forward alfie just |
22621s | and diving away does stay safe |
22624s | but once more the gladiators get the |
22625s | push going for themselves |
22627s | they're just going to sneak meters |
22628s | though again the goal isn't to try and |
22630s | finish the map or to hit 100 they'll |
22632s | obviously take that if the opportunity |
22633s | presents itself it ends up being a nano |
22636s | to i guess |
22637s | confirm the fight win sneaking like what |
22640s | three-ish kind of four-ish meters there |
22642s | just to make things a bit more difficult |
22645s | for the spark burner now swallows off |
22646s | zara back onto the ball you got it |
22647s | behind the shield |
22649s | and irony was tucked in behind them |
22651s | they both |
22652s | go boom big opener here from kepster |
22654s | gets himself a third kill in the fight |
22656s | why not a fourth |
22658s | cleans them up and once more the bot |
22660s | just continues to remain on this side of |
22661s | the map the hong joe spark |
22663s | yeah really able to ship it back across |
22666s | and this will be |
22667s | as well because glads actually have |
22669s | members alive now there's they're not |
22671s | just kind of skirmishing for slight |
22672s | payload theft they're actually going to |
22674s | go for a proper push that can go up to |
22675s | 90 or more |
22677s | and this is a master class from campus |
22678s | so far he has been indomitable on this |
22680s | racer |
22681s | okay well a good pick off bernard |
22683s | finding shoe gets with the pile driver |
22684s | reiner exiting with the meteor strike |
22686s | not using it aggressively either just |
22688s | getting himself out of the safety is |
22689s | paddy will get cleaned up |
22691s | runner just gonna be i thought he's |
22692s | gonna drop off the high ground but i |
22694s | think he's more than happy to just go |
22695s | ahead and die because they know they |
22696s | have such a significant advantage as far |
22697s | as the distance is concerned yep |
22700s | every reset every reset is extremely |
22702s | costly for the spot because you're going |
22703s | to see another fight come through from |
22704s | the neutral now because we're up to 19 |
22706s | meters spark push one back to mid four |
22708s | spawns will end in a second but the |
22710s | force points allow them to take this mid |
22711s | fight right that's the important thing |
22713s | the flank's been covered by kefs so |
22714s | alpha you can't take that rope they |
22716s | still have it reiner locks the bot in |
22718s | place |
22719s | starts moving forward it's just a couple |
22721s | meters away from |
22723s | locking out those forward spawns but now |
22725s | we'll still be holding on |
22727s | he looks for target oh man what a turn |
22729s | of his attention spot shoe at a glance |
22732s | double dashes forward finds the kill a |
22734s | big opener he was gonna have the nano up |
22736s | in this extended fight now they will not |
22738s | have it ironing going to be taken down |
22739s | at the back and the pulse bomb from |
22740s | kepster but beyond the grave will still |
22742s | find super rich i'm not sure if the |
22744s | shield was destroyed or not either way |
22746s | he goes down so a bit of a bloody brawl |
22748s | but it's one that the spark will be able |
22750s | to win out on and start moving the bot |
22751s | forward a little bit |
22753s | and by the way that was a very light cap |
22755s | on the mid by as well and what i mean by |
22757s | cap is you have to push the bot past the |
22759s | midway point to deny the fourth spawn so |
22761s | alex has actually got a full wave of i |
22763s | think four spawns there mine is fighting |
22765s | astro which is why they get to reinforce |
22766s | so quickly we're gonna have another |
22767s | fight in the mid despite huntress spot |
22770s | winning their fight it's just they |
22771s | couldn't capitalize in time and they |
22772s | also lost both their supports |
22775s | down two and a half minutes now ryder |
22777s | going in deep the meteor strike coming |
22778s | through super rich puts the shield up |
22780s | gets punched shut down diving to the |
22781s | back they are looking for the kill here |
22783s | on iron if you think of lower load for |
22784s | the rally helps keep him alive shy dead |
22786s | as you said but one for one overall so |
22789s | far but now alfie joining him in the |
22791s | grave both of the dps on the side of the |
22793s | hung hangzhou spark gonna have to try to |
22794s | rejoin the fight a little bit late but |
22796s | the health bars from the side of the |
22797s | hangzhou spark which is so damn low |
22799s | they're gonna remain that way with irony |
22801s | dying as well |
22802s | it's a bridge trying to keep the rest of |
22804s | the team and himself in this fight but |
22806s | it's just so much pressure being applied |
22808s | right into city of the name doesn't care |
22811s | eats the damage all about sunny |
22812s | charge over towards his teammates |
22814s | disaster finds shy once more |
22817s | yes the second kill in a row on towards |
22818s | side actually shut down it's overclock |
22820s | so they're doing a much better time a |
22822s | much better job of actually putting the |
22824s | little shot again this is their target |
22825s | focus they want to get him down shy |
22828s | currently got eight deaths tied with |
22829s | super rich on eight as well for the |
22830s | highest amount of death so gladiators |
22832s | are just diving on top of shot whether |
22834s | it's the lucio player funny astro or |
22835s | somebody else like reiner and kepster |
22837s | they have to get those kills and they |
22838s | are hundreds is struggling it's |
22840s | foreign spawns once more as bernard goes |
22842s | back over to zarya for the second time |
22844s | capster playing out right in front of |
22845s | their spawn several members contained oh |
22847s | they're not paying attention there's the |
22849s | and super rich is just magnetized for |
22851s | these right now catcher gets them once |
22854s | more follows up for irony the supports |
22855s | are out of the fight how depends gonna |
22857s | be taken down by alvin here the back end |
22858s | kept her dead as well so the dps dealt |
22860s | with but with a minute remaining |
22862s | nearly 60 meters that they have to go |
22864s | ahead and cover this is looking done and |
22867s | dusted |
22870s | and ryan looking for more kills here i |
22872s | mean this is all slow rider doesn't care |
22873s | if he dies |
22875s | here and he's just going to go for this |
22876s | one |
22877s | yeah it slows the spark |
22879s | at the deal with them okay they do sleep |
22882s | him he almost gets out for you |
22884s | put him in there to the wall they will |
22885s | finally be able to deal with them but in |
22886s | the meantime the bodice just sat here on |
22888s | the bridge continuing to make its way |
22890s | across the hangzhou spark have not been |
22892s | able to rest control away from the |
22893s | gladiators whatsoever patty pat now |
22894s | gonna be |
22895s | nanoed up |
22896s | overclock nearly at the ready to manage |
22899s | to pile up find the enemy sojourner |
22900s | finally can start moving the bot away |
22902s | i'm gonna one day miraculous ot push |
22904s | this would be the bot for now not being |
22906s | occupied by the hot the side of the |
22907s | hunger spark they're actually trying to |
22908s | play forward |
22909s | selfie falls lower and lower has to kick |
22911s | back |
22913s | i mean this is all about done i mean |
22914s | you're ready to load up map number five |
22915s | already hungry spark will go for the |
22916s | miracle push at this point if the alec |
22918s | ladies kill even one person the map is |
22920s | done called it finished hunger sparked |
22923s | with another man picked to go forward |
22924s | and it's just not a good pulse at all |
22926s | funny astral builds up the sound barrier |
22927s | drops the beat keeps everybody shielded |
22929s | paddy pants gonna be dead however before |
22930s | he can use the overclock rider slept |
22932s | falling lower and lower and okay the |
22934s | fight they do win this one out kevin |
22936s | recalling |
22937s | still holds on to the fourth bomb and |
22938s | likely will and yeah doesn't want to let |
22940s | it loose funny answer is going to go |
22942s | ahead and forward gets the reason off |
22945s | three more fights question mark left |
22947s | forward |
22948s | to actually do anything here |
22950s | yeah maybe four considering that to push |
22952s | 60 meters and ot again |
22954s | the key thing here is one death hunger |
22956s | spot literally can't die not a single |
22958s | member i mean they haven't got the |
22959s | checkpoint yet right |
22961s | at least wait for that they're still oh |
22964s | then it's over okay that should |
22965s | basically be it |
22966s | well shy he does have his own overclock |
22969s | puts a chest shot there on a paddy pant |
22970s | now if he manages to scoop it try with a |
22973s | head shot we'll find shoe reiner getting |
22975s | super rich however as he falls lower and |
22976s | lower but with no supports now in the |
22978s | fight this is looking |
22979s | so very hopeless for the side of the |
22981s | hangzhou spark especially with shy dead |
22983s | the cleanup comes through it's all |
22984s | announced |
22985s | no hp to speak up and there you go ot |
22988s | bleeding away the gladiators they will |
22990s | win on coliseum they will extend this |
22993s | into a fifth and final map |
22995s | not going down without a fight hangzhou |
22998s | spark they have their pick of the litter |
22999s | but whether or not it's going to be good |
23000s | enough to deal with the gladiators after |
23002s | what we just saw especially from kevster |
23004s | on this tracer |
23006s | this is a scary position to be in |
23009s | it's carry performance after carry |
23011s | performance we're shy in the previous |
23012s | map kefstar will bounce back now |
23015s | on this trace is so phenomenal in terms |
23017s | of the pulse bomb sticks the kill |
23019s | pressure it starts with a one-two punch |
23021s | from rhino first and kept coming in for |
23023s | the kill onto shai in the opening minute |
23026s | and then from there it's done |
23028s | an impeccable performance from him from |
23030s | the rest of the gladiators the hong kong |
23032s | spark now being pushed to the brink |
23034s | can't close that out cleanly can they do |
23036s | what the fusion just did moments before |
23038s | them and win in the map five we'll have |
23039s | to see and we'll see where they take us |
23041s | for our last round of control when we |
23042s | come back from the break |
23045s | [Music] |
23065s | [Music] |
23067s | so |
23070s | [Music] |
23085s | [Music] |
23122s | [Music] |
23133s | [Music] |
23199s | um |
23203s | [Music] |
23210s | [Music] |
23213s | um |
23217s | [Music] |
23224s | [Music] |
23231s | so |
23237s | [Music] |
23248s | [Music] |
23257s | and we are back the action continues |
23260s | with yet another map five hong kong |
23262s | spark unable to clean it out |
23265s | unable to get a victory on the map pick |
23267s | of coliseum from the gladiators they |
23269s | take it now we set our sights on ilios |
23272s | as the final map in this series |
23275s | really good mad pic choice from |
23277s | gladiators to go towards colosseum |
23279s | playing to the strengths of the |
23280s | gladiators that this sub in from funny |
23282s | ashrae made a big difference as well to |
23283s | their speed and pacing their ability to |
23285s | get onto the back line funny asher |
23287s | really getting active the kill feed as |
23288s | well have to remind everyone that you |
23290s | know shy was a big problem on dorado and |
23292s | gladiators made it a point to try and |
23294s | shut them down as hard as possible on |
23296s | coliseum and they did that through a |
23298s | multitude of different ways every single |
23299s | player contributed to getting spark down |
23303s | getting the win conditions away and |
23304s | having the early leads you know 19 |
23306s | meters at the start they're even |
23307s | sneaking an extra push to get to 100 |
23309s | even further see reina basically spawn |
23311s | camping but that just delays 100 spark |
23313s | further gladiators are sneaking even |
23315s | more meters in all of those small things |
23317s | really lead to gladiators taking away |
23320s | the map and what i believe a dominant |
23322s | fashion i don't get baited by those ot |
23324s | pushers i think once you get to a |
23326s | certain map state in a certain game |
23327s | state once ali gladius have set that up |
23329s | um |
23330s | from a macro perspective it it really is |
23332s | all but one like kung ju spike would |
23334s | have to play |
23335s | better than they did on dorado which i |
23336s | don't think is possible to really have a |
23337s | chance there so we go to map five now it |
23339s | is spark's map pick and so far the team |
23342s | that picked the map has won the maps so |
23346s | spark an opportunity here maybe outside |
23348s | of oasis we should say |
23351s | that's the one that right yeah fell |
23352s | spill through the |
23356s | yeah has been a big boon for the squad |
23358s | but with control it always is a little a |
23361s | little less cut and dry when it comes |
23362s | down to you know what kind of advantages |
23364s | you can really gain for yourself so |
23366s | we'll see if it does work a treat for |
23367s | the side of the hangzhou spark because i |
23369s | mean just a reminder to set the stakes |
23370s | here winner from this series advances |
23372s | forward to play against the winner from |
23373s | our next series in the day and then the |
23376s | loser falls down to that lower bracket |
23377s | that has to go through the philadelphia |
23379s | fusion if they want to stay in this |
23381s | tournament so everything to play for not |
23383s | an elimination match but obviously you |
23386s | don't want to be making that lower |
23387s | bracket run |
23390s | and i'll repeat myself here again you |
23391s | know really no matter who wins we all |
23393s | win because this has just been the |
23394s | highest level overwatch that we've had i |
23396s | mean it is incredible how well these two |
23398s | teams are playing the mechanics being |
23400s | shown the macro play the decisions being |
23402s | made as well the strategic plays from |
23404s | both teams i think especially glad it is |
23405s | in some cases has just been phenomenal |
23408s | so |
23409s | uh whether n a wins or apac wins or |
23411s | whoever loses it's going to be a three |
23413s | and two results you really don't get |
23414s | overwatch better than this this is about |
23416s | as close as you can get as well no it |
23418s | absolutely is and you know i |
23421s | i made the mistake after our second map |
23423s | of goalie and ceiling how's how's the |
23425s | chat doing today go ahead give it a |
23427s | little sniff did a little investigation |
23429s | you have some people saying like wow |
23430s | these these apac casters are so biased |
23431s | for the hong kong spark guys we're not |
23434s | map three i guess it was escorted after |
23436s | dorado we're not they just played really |
23438s | really well on dorado so we sang them |
23440s | praises and then we're saying praises |
23441s | for the gladiators and coliseum because |
23443s | they played really really well so just |
23444s | use some critical thinking put your |
23446s | heads together and you can come to uh |
23448s | you know a conclusion as far as what's |
23449s | actually going on |
23451s | here good overwatch we are not here for |
23453s | anybody in particular for any region to |
23455s | win this |
23457s | it's crazy team winning gets compliments |
23459s | team losing |
23461s | gets criticism and uh no matter who it |
23464s | is that stays consistent imagine that so |
23466s | uh we'll see who wins and loses here and |
23468s | who gets the compliments and the |
23469s | criticisms as we move on forward |
23472s | as elios being the map choice |
23475s | chosen by the hangzhou spark uh i think |
23478s | the most important thing here is that |
23479s | funny astro is staying in yeah so pace |
23482s | for the gladiators |
23483s | boost it up to 11 here speed is going to |
23486s | be important their dives have looked |
23487s | immaculate off the back of finding out |
23488s | your rhino and kept the playing together |
23492s | i wonder what kind of comps we'll see as |
23493s | well because this is a pretty bold |
23494s | favorite map which is what burner wants |
23496s | to play he wants to play the wrecking |
23497s | ball here is rhino going to match that |
23499s | or go back towards doom because he's |
23500s | been phenomenal on the doom well as we |
23502s | can see on our screens and you guys will |
23504s | see in just a moment it is going to be |
23505s | well drawn for the first round of illios |
23508s | so i mean funny answer if you physically |
23510s | wanted to could stick with the lucio but |
23511s | we'll have to just wait and see what the |
23512s | overall composition looks like |
23514s | this is the could be a brilliant |
23516s | ground for lucio's |
23519s | i will say that if they do want to play |
23520s | brig skewed probably would have been the |
23522s | right call here from a substitution |
23524s | standpoint so if you do see funny astro |
23526s | it really should be the lucio otherwise |
23529s | again |
23530s | putting skewed here for this particular |
23531s | map so it is going to be the lucio in |
23533s | reiner currently hovering the winston |
23537s | uh this is well is it not so well pretty |
23539s | damn good for i think i think doom would |
23541s | even be preferable to a winston for |
23542s | rider and it does look like he's gonna |
23544s | stick on through about a couple seconds |
23545s | left here to maybe decide ball is |
23548s | definitely the preferred choice if not |
23550s | doing so right we'll have to see if this |
23551s | one works out |
23554s | and here we go the gates opening for the |
23556s | last map the first round of elios |
23559s | tp forward echo for alfie once more has |
23561s | been a staple pick from him and it's |
23563s | been very few and far between where he |
23565s | gets punished on this pick see how he |
23567s | fares again |
23569s | the shoe under some early fire spots |
23571s | kepster up over top by windmill just |
23573s | turns his sights over to the supports |
23578s | larry is rotating through it but rpe |
23579s | trying to get in as much damage as |
23580s | possibly super rich on the high ground |
23582s | there as well they're looking to |
23583s | collapse onto this burner on the sides |
23586s | finally barely getting out with his life |
23588s | get the beam unable to connect otherwise |
23589s | maybe i'll be would have been all over |
23591s | him down diving forward though funny |
23592s | astro receiving quite a minute here |
23594s | those sticky bombs they'll stay alive |
23596s | shoe just rapidly building up towards |
23598s | this nano 28 left to go and decided the |
23601s | hangzhou spark not much to speak of as |
23603s | far as the old charge is concerned for |
23604s | their supports and it's gonna be irony |
23606s | eliminated first and foremost she does |
23608s | get traded out super rich however under |
23611s | too much pressure ends up crumbling the |
23612s | gladiators have broken up but they |
23614s | should be able to get this first cap |
23616s | yeah this double supports down spark now |
23618s | are definitely in trouble they have to |
23619s | rely on health packs should be the cap |
23621s | coming through in just a few moments |
23623s | without you falling there really isn't |
23624s | much hope for the 100 spark anymore ryan |
23626s | making a little bit of a whippy play |
23627s | there believe he went off the map |
23629s | it would seem like it gladiators do lock |
23632s | down this point for how long is the |
23634s | question put with bernard out of the |
23635s | fight i'm just sparked looking like |
23636s | they're just going to sit back go for a |
23637s | reset |
23639s | gladiator should be quick as well i want |
23640s | to highlight shoe because |
23642s | schumer has a nano available but he also |
23644s | opened up that fight he does die but he |
23646s | enables to come to irony because he |
23647s | landed a long where he sleeped up on top |
23649s | of irony which allows ryan to get the |
23650s | kill so that's how things start for the |
23652s | glads boss is available now for both |
23653s | teams |
23655s | scored gets the stick it's on the rider |
23656s | though and he's going to be nanoed up so |
23658s | doesn't find two too much damage |
23659s | kempster in the meantime he gets an |
23660s | elimination with his killing irony now |
23663s | super rich again gonna be taken down no |
23664s | support in the fight for the side of the |
23665s | hangzhou spark is alfie |
23667s | broken out of the new by funny astro and |
23668s | he's just trying to kite back 39 hp |
23671s | drops down grabs the health pack will |
23673s | manage to stay safe the flip is there |
23675s | for the side of the hangzhou spark with |
23676s | this many members of the side of the |
23677s | gladiator still playing far forward they |
23679s | could get a quick flip rhino he's going |
23682s | lower and lower but are trying to play |
23683s | forward to get something done here they |
23684s | can't get the punish onto the enemy |
23685s | winston but they'll keep him at arm's |
23687s | length for the time being but funny |
23688s | astro again as soon as irony rearrives |
23690s | tim's like he's right back into the drop |
23692s | ship |
23694s | yeah rhino saved that just got the |
23695s | primal available bernick is taken down |
23696s | by shoe mid ultimate so the mines might |
23699s | be out in play but gladiators should |
23700s | have this one they lose shoe |
23702s | still four |
23703s | though |
23705s | jumping into the back they're looking |
23706s | for super rich he's just stuck in a |
23707s | corner with nowhere to go no one appeal |
23708s | for him |
23709s | he dies i'll be in shy will manage to |
23711s | find one a piece but it's just not going |
23713s | to be good enough for them in this fight |
23715s | still waiting on the supports the reason |
23716s | why he joined the fight the primal does |
23718s | come through from ryder looks for a |
23719s | target spots shy but can't quite get on |
23722s | top of the tracer with a relative ease |
23724s | so widely the primal just gonna be |
23726s | keeping him alive rather than doing |
23727s | damage |
23729s | well keeps the point alive as well so |
23731s | gladiators don't lose control there they |
23732s | get all their five members back waiting |
23734s | for the blade to come through for the |
23735s | next fight under spark looking for a |
23737s | rally shy opportunity for the |
23738s | possibility while kips will get it first |
23740s | he gets another one another support |
23742s | taken down and i stick there from shield |
23744s | or onto you rather from shy these sh |
23747s | names gets that pick but shooting his |
23749s | dying breath got a shot across on the |
23750s | super so once more his building supports |
23752s | go on the side of the hangzhou spark now |
23753s | alfie out of the fight as well and |
23755s | that's a hell of a lot of the firepower |
23756s | here |
23757s | shy having to pull away the flip not |
23759s | there 90 percent online for the side of |
23760s | the gladiators paddy could be coming |
23762s | back through with the blade ready to be |
23763s | pulled out should he need it |
23766s | right now that's even unlikely let's |
23767s | just use it all the same though crowley |
23769s | rolling super rich |
23772s | trying to keep him up and as you say the |
23773s | beat is available from funny astros he |
23775s | doesn't get picked mid-drop he's still |
23776s | very low |
23778s | get the kill alfie finally beams him |
23779s | down |
23780s | a big opening but they have to win out |
23781s | the fight they have to get this flip and |
23782s | even then they are still not out of the |
23784s | woods |
23785s | point so very far away |
23787s | from being one from the side of the hung |
23788s | just park the kills finally flying |
23790s | through they should be able to clear |
23791s | this one out as they deal with kepster |
23793s | they will gain control but they're |
23794s | starting at 17 |
23797s | and i'm so surprised it's been difficult |
23799s | for the hunger spot to kill ryan because |
23801s | that's winston has much more difficult |
23802s | time surviving than a doom would on this |
23804s | map than a ball would on this map the |
23805s | lack of mobility right the shoe and |
23807s | funny astro keeping rhino up his own |
23809s | winston mechanics as well keeping him up |
23810s | staying alive via the primal rage ryan |
23812s | has actually only died twice this map |
23814s | which is incredible for winston in this |
23816s | sort of matchup |
23817s | on the other side that should just beam |
23819s | you down right yeah so uh glads have |
23822s | about five ultimates they they might |
23823s | have lost their fight but they're in |
23824s | position to take the round |
23826s | okay sound barrier dropped in from funny |
23828s | astro bernard antique but that'll expire |
23830s | pulse bomb at the ready once more from |
23832s | capture paddy diving into the back of |
23833s | the blade but he's gonna be focused |
23834s | fired up he comes through with that beam |
23836s | cuts them down to size now the supports |
23838s | are gonna be out of the fight as well |
23839s | and reiner wisely holds on to the primal |
23841s | rage they know that they still have a |
23842s | couple more fights in this before |
23844s | they're really in a dire situation it's |
23846s | patty it's gonna be swapping over |
23849s | and look at this as well hunger spark |
23850s | held onto three ultimates there where |
23851s | was the nano from shoe paddy goes for |
23853s | the play but either shoe was under |
23855s | pressure or he just couldn't see paddy |
23857s | but that was |
23858s | some sort of miscoordination from the |
23859s | gladius a very rare moment where you |
23861s | beat in you're obviously playing for a |
23863s | blade the nano was required doesn't get |
23865s | played and the rest of the players like |
23866s | well we lose this fight hold on to the |
23868s | ultimates come back for another day |
23870s | sombra just to get him quick i'm out of |
23873s | here final fight now of 99. |
23875s | that it is |
23876s | down to a wire a major reversal here |
23878s | from the side of the hangzhou spark to |
23879s | get this far can they close that out of |
23881s | the question |
23882s | alfie |
23884s | oh no oh he's jumping |
23888s | back out of there in time ends up going |
23890s | down it will be a one for one shoe and |
23891s | design breath offering up the nano boost |
23893s | to try to keep his team in this fight |
23894s | but he has to run to the wall who's down |
23896s | for hp he still stays alive he actually |
23898s | gets irony as well he's doing such |
23900s | genetic amount of work here the flip |
23902s | still not there however for the side of |
23903s | the gladiators i'm joe spark fighting |
23906s | tooth and nail to keep this point |
23907s | occupied to make sure the flip cannot |
23909s | come through but now |
23911s | that is the delay tactics widely dealt |
23913s | with bernard still hovering near five |
23914s | the flip is coming in |
23916s | bernard three arrives gets back in keeps |
23918s | it contested down below half hp need |
23921s | some tlc they clear the point that's the |
23923s | gladiators now in control alfie taking |
23924s | down shoe returning to the moira comes |
23927s | up with two kills and it's good enough |
23928s | to get the cap |
23930s | the first round goes to the gladiators |
23933s | my goodness daniel hathaway go to the |
23935s | sticks that is a performance on the |
23937s | lucio and a half the boot kill on to |
23939s | alphagee when he comes out of duplicate |
23942s | form cannot fly out in time the kill |
23944s | into irony as well he got three kills in |
23946s | the middle of that fight and he's been |
23948s | doing so much over the course of the |
23949s | last two maps i mean he gets subbed in |
23951s | for carlos ceo |
23953s | has the ability to shut down cheyenne |
23955s | multiple times sprit says keep play |
23957s | sombra i think let's take a look at this |
23959s | again that's one boob on to alfie was |
23962s | massive if alpha he gets to fly out of |
23964s | there as an echo that could be |
23965s | game-changing because you have the rally |
23967s | available hundred spike would have sold |
23968s | five |
23969s | players it would have been big funny |
23971s | astral puts them in the pit well reiner |
23974s | answering back saying who are you |
23976s | he's on a different team and probably |
23978s | won't play but |
23980s | either way he's keeping up with the |
23981s | trash talk here where are you i mean |
23983s | super rich has widely been absent in |
23985s | these last two maps |
23987s | consistently getting picked off by the |
23989s | likes of kepster |
23991s | see how he fares now is honjo sparker on |
23993s | their last legs need to win |
23995s | here on lighthouse extend this to ruins |
23997s | if they want to be able to take the |
23998s | series otherwise the gladiators |
24000s | looking like they may just be able to |
24002s | move forward |
24003s | irony taken down dealt with off the rip |
24006s | shoot does fall as well |
24009s | hp but somehow he still manages to come |
24011s | up with a kill shine collapses it gets |
24013s | that elimination on him a little bit of |
24016s | a trade up here as paddy will go down to |
24017s | the back end of the fight funny astro as |
24018s | well under some duress does get cleaned |
24021s | up super rich making his name known |
24023s | the cap was there for the hong kong |
24024s | spark so they begin ticking up oh and |
24027s | the easy drop down there as well sip |
24028s | some p |
24030s | stole that t baby all right super rich |
24032s | like you said you want to see a little |
24033s | bit more that's four final blows coming |
24034s | through so far |
24035s | not like gladiators funny astra though |
24037s | getting that opening pick again super |
24039s | impressive from funny asteroid to be |
24041s | able to do that i think it's on plays |
24043s | like irony most importantly and ryan |
24045s | being able to trade himself shoot with |
24046s | the only pick now though |
24048s | dealt with |
24050s | good sniping from chill |
24052s | flip nearly there again bernard moving |
24054s | forward keeps the point contested recall |
24056s | gonna be burned by shy pulse bomb goes |
24058s | out clips on the rhino but it's not |
24059s | gonna be enough for a kill the |
24060s | gladiators they managed to take the |
24062s | point in all the chaos fourth pump at |
24063s | the ready they're super rich stuck once |
24065s | more |
24066s | and kepster |
24067s | knocks him right back into obscurity |
24070s | a great kill and i i can't see it |
24072s | because of the chat yeah he said easy as |
24074s | well i was gonna say his camera's |
24075s | blocking but now i can see it |
24080s | we know when the trash talk comes on |
24081s | through and this is by the way like map |
24084s | number five uh loser goes down a lower |
24086s | bracket |
24088s | gladiators have double support ultimates |
24090s | online trying to control the points |
24092s | should be the 37 online pretty soon for |
24094s | themselves as well alphae |
24096s | in a lot of trouble actually showers are |
24098s | dead |
24102s | good from funny astro continues to look |
24104s | absolutely excellent |
24106s | i'll be getting right on top of shield |
24108s | nothing that realistically he could have |
24109s | done all that wow you know maybe nailing |
24111s | his sleep dark but two kills coming in |
24112s | funny answer does drop the beat offering |
24114s | up that shielding to the three members |
24116s | of the live on the side of the |
24117s | gladiators and so far they still do |
24118s | maintain control of this point as super |
24120s | rich was sent back to the squadron once |
24122s | more bernard cut off |
24124s | he's getting out in front of him finds |
24125s | that elimination and spark |
24127s | doesn't seem like they're gonna be able |
24128s | to get onto the point this time |
24131s | boss goes out again this time it will go |
24133s | wide but the nanoblade is about to be on |
24134s | live had it been nine away from it after |
24136s | you copy over towards the tracer one of |
24137s | his key heroes double tracers on board |
24139s | now for spot |
24140s | can you get a pulse bombing if it builds |
24142s | it up can he find a nice target to stick |
24143s | paddy pan pulling out the blade man it |
24145s | up shoe fighting the opening kill shy |
24147s | goes down |
24148s | i'll be here he did get a pulse but |
24150s | didn't get anything with it right before |
24151s | he gets a second |
24152s | does get taken out |
24154s | back into the raw echo form beam comes |
24156s | through does fine reiner patty pan low |
24158s | the whip shop from super rich we'll |
24159s | finish them off they continue to look to |
24161s | contest this point and get this flip |
24162s | into their favor super rich continues to |
24164s | clean them up look for a little bit more |
24166s | now with funny answer going down they |
24167s | should be able to get this but |
24168s | gladiators are thinking about ninety |
24169s | percent this is still dire straight for |
24171s | the hong kong spark |
24173s | well alpha yi is able to get a number of |
24175s | kills there i mean just a little while |
24176s | before you see him floating down |
24178s | something about floating like a |
24179s | butterfly singing like a bee i'm sure to |
24181s | get the kill to shoo in more |
24183s | hunger spark like you mentioned it's |
24184s | gonna be a bit of a hill to climb they |
24185s | are behind quite significantly so i |
24187s | would love to get a stick there but |
24188s | we'll miss |
24190s | doesn't get the connection good auntie |
24192s | out on the two slows up the supports a |
24193s | little bit buys them some spaces kepster |
24196s | looking for the back cap look nearly |
24198s | there shy has to contest he moves |
24199s | forward this chemistry just plays around |
24201s | the winston bubble to keep himself |
24202s | protected |
24204s | does now expire |
24205s | force the recall it's right here back |
24206s | here on the point half the dash out |
24208s | the flip is through gladiators back in |
24210s | control all right they're going to be |
24211s | taking it out for the moment she going |
24212s | to be taken down kev's there pulse bomb |
24214s | nearly at the ready jumps forward he's |
24216s | looking for irony but he cannot get that |
24217s | elimination falls low manages to stay |
24219s | alive 99 now in for the side of the |
24222s | gladiators the flip nearly there once |
24223s | more from the side of the hanzo's part |
24224s | they clear the point they get it 70 |
24226s | percent as bernard crashes through two |
24228s | to get the eliminations they're back in |
24230s | control and it's gonna be final fight |
24231s | territory once more for both teams |
24234s | south bear plus primal though i mean |
24235s | this one can go the distance gladiators |
24236s | have a lot of resources left to play |
24238s | through rally plus mines and duke for |
24240s | the hundreds you need to see a good |
24241s | dupe out alpha yi would really not want |
24243s | to see the dupe onto funny ashes lucio |
24245s | again ideally after he gets either |
24247s | kepster or powder pan for a trace or |
24249s | genji those are ideal picks because he |
24251s | has signature picks on those |
24252s | bernard waiting gets a slight poop there |
24254s | they're looking for shoes out there |
24255s | comes in from funny astro keeps diana |
24257s | alive auntie out on the rider falling |
24260s | slow pops the primal the flip getting |
24262s | ready to come through back over onto the |
24263s | point so far the recontest has not |
24266s | happened lp dips in manches |
24269s | to lock it in the dupe comes through |
24271s | this is more gonna be over onto the |
24272s | tracer the point cleared out the |
24274s | gladiators they step back through they |
24276s | give the flip to merch now gonna be |
24277s | taking down funny astro breaks it open |
24278s | once more shoe gonna be eliminated funny |
24281s | after down to about half hp continues to |
24282s | get whittled away at the pulse bomb from |
24284s | shy not gonna find anything |
24286s | sedan was out of luck he's looking to |
24288s | clean him up and rider gonna be taken |
24289s | down bunny astro now looking to delay as |
24291s | much as he possibly can stop this foot |
24293s | from coming through sticky bombs offered |
24295s | up over the side does get kept in the |
24296s | blade pulled by patty pan dashes through |
24298s | cuts down bernard looks for a little bit |
24300s | more he's gonna get shy he gets super |
24301s | rich he gets absolutely everybody |
24304s | they clear them off the point the |
24305s | gladiators will manage to take it |
24308s | a 2-0 on illios a 3-2 in the series they |
24311s | stay in the upper bracket |
24315s | pop off there from panapan on the genji |
24317s | towards the end they're massive |
24318s | celebrations they know how hard this |
24320s | game was |
24322s | spark put up a monstrous performance but |
24324s | when it comes down to the end a |
24326s | brilliant colosseum map leading to an |
24327s | elios 2 and 0. powder pan with a play of |
24329s | the game selected in the game there as |
24331s | well a genji blade to save the day and |
24334s | prevent the third round from being |
24336s | executed by the hangzhou spark denying |
24339s | that tracer dupe as well that could have |
24342s | been everything for the spark but it |
24344s | doesn't end up doing much for them and |
24345s | the la glady is i think the funny astro |
24347s | sub in on maps four and five was so damn |
24351s | impactful for this team |
24354s | right when they needed him the most |
24355s | patty coming up with a big blade after a |
24357s | couple botched ones from that first |
24359s | round of ilios the hangzhou sparked this |
24362s | is not the end of the road for them but |
24363s | this is definitely going to be a very |
24365s | bittersweet moment because now they have |
24368s | to fall down and try to knock out their |
24370s | cohorts from aipac in the philly fusion |
24373s | yeah so apac will be eliminating itself |
24375s | come tomorrow i suppose but the |
24377s | gladiators they stick around now they |
24380s | have to just sit back relax wait and see |
24382s | who their opponent is going to be after |
24384s | we get through that next series between |
24385s | shanghai and the shock our player of the |
24388s | match though i think uh after the last |
24390s | couple maps there could really only go |
24392s | one way it's gonna be kevster picking it |
24394s | up that coliseum performance from him on |
24396s | the tracer was just absolutely gorgeous |
24399s | and it didn't stop on coliseum either |
24401s | because we saw how impactful he was on |
24402s | elias as well yeah just really had a |
24404s | field day on that tracer i mean kepster |
24406s | came up so massively on those last two |
24408s | maps |
24409s | uh it's the funny extra substitution |
24411s | it's the caps the tracer the paddy blade |
24413s | right at the end there as well reined |
24415s | actually performing super well on that |
24417s | winston on a map that i think |
24418s | traditionally would be better suited for |
24419s | the doom and the the ball but you know |
24421s | rhino kept it up he didn't have that |
24423s | many deaths especially on that opening |
24424s | well |
24425s | kevin's at the end of the day though i i |
24427s | think coliseum would not have gone as |
24428s | clean for this team if it wasn't for how |
24430s | damn good kefstar was on the straights |
24432s | for the sticks with everything else with |
24433s | lining up the dives the rest of the team |
24436s | uh really was just a brilliant |
24437s | performance coming through from the |
24438s | gladiators yeah very well-rounded i mean |
24441s | funny astro stepping in uh for those |
24443s | lasting maps and he looked absolutely |
24445s | phenomenal still incredibly well |
24447s | practiced on the lucio and one of the |
24448s | best in the world in that regard but |
24450s | kevster |
24451s | absolutely putting up figures here for |
24453s | his squad was just |
24456s | such an incredible uh performance from |
24458s | him on the tracer he just took over and |
24460s | did not like you said he did not back |
24462s | down going into illios he maintained |
24463s | that level of performance from kozio |
24466s | and i gotta say as well i think that the |
24468s | key map for me in this particular series |
24469s | is actually midtown we have to kind of |
24471s | rewind that second one because that was |
24472s | the one that i felt like uh was |
24475s | blundered massively from the spark right |
24477s | that b's like defensive c9 has to be one |
24480s | that you revisit because i think the |
24482s | rest of the series was very close very |
24483s | competitive but the one part of the |
24485s | series it does stick out like a sore |
24487s | thumb that's um you know was just |
24490s | not good overwatch i mean if we say that |
24491s | the overall game was great overwatch |
24493s | that one piece unfortunately was not |
24495s | that's something that sticks out for the |
24496s | spark really poorly the rest of it was |
24498s | very competitive and very enjoyable to |
24500s | watch but midtown uh is going to be an |
24502s | unfortunate position for the spark to be |
24504s | in and i think for the gladiators as |
24505s | well if you want to see |
24507s | just what i consider to be perfect macro |
24509s | on the defense especially that a side |
24510s | defense gladiators executed beyond what |
24513s | i've seen any team do just brilliant |
24515s | tactics uh they knew exactly how to play |
24517s | that map yeah it was perfect and it's |
24519s | something about midtown just always has |
24521s | incidents occurring but this time it's |
24522s | the hongsho spark who fall victim to it |
24524s | like i said who's gonna come back to |
24526s | bite them in the rear if they lost this |
24527s | series and i think that that one is |
24528s | gonna be weighing on their minds for a |
24530s | little bit but it's about shaking loose |
24532s | you know not focusing on those mistakes |
24534s | from this series being able to clear |
24536s | heads and move forward for that series |
24537s | tomorrow against the fusion so we'll see |
24539s | if the hogs just spark you know how they |
24541s | can bounce back from this and see |
24542s | whether or not the gladiators can |
24543s | maintain this dominance but we have to |
24545s | figure out first who they're going to be |
24546s | playing against that's going to be in |
24548s | our next series with the shanghai |
24549s | dragons taking on at the san francisco |
24551s | shock but first we'll have the desk |
24553s | break down the action from this |

24842s | what a match what a match and that last |
24844s | uh team fight and that clutch moment can |
24847s | you just briefly tell us what was going |
24848s | through your head when you were playing |
24850s | uh pulling out that genji blade with a |
24852s | with funny astro by her side i mean yeah |
24854s | i was betting the entire team i was |
24857s | betting shoe betting right there rating |
24858s | everybody um |
24860s | but i wouldn't be able to pull pull that |
24862s | off against a like better team such as |
24865s | chalk or something like |
24867s | i think |
24868s | it's not me being good it's just |
24871s | it's just it's a shot it's just it's a |
24873s | spark just |
24874s | not that good yeah yeah |
24877s | so if it was any other team it wouldn't |
24878s | have worked like good good team it |
24880s | wouldn't work but it worked because |
24882s | because they are bad okay you guys can |
24883s | fill in the blink i mean yeah i mean |
24885s | that was that was great um about the |
24887s | spark though because they did really |
24889s | give you the run for your money and were |
24891s | there anything that sort of surprised |
24892s | you going up against the spark i mean |
24895s | did this surprise me from a minor region |
24898s | um |
24902s | you can't |

24916s | standout players from the show from |
24918s | spark i mean i would like to shout out |
24920s | to shai um |
24921s | i used to play against him like on like |
24924s | four years ago on world cup |
24926s | 2018 |
24928s | i was playing against china team and |
24930s | i don't think he improved that much but |
24934s | he's still a good player like he didn't |
24936s | surprise me he improved a little bit a |
24938s | little bit a little bit i lived i left |
24940s | this game for two years and then he came |
24941s | back and won him like i don't know |
24943s | all right and my final question for you |
24945s | fatty is um you guys will be going up |
24947s | against the winner of the next match |
24948s | which is san francisco shark versus uh |
24950s | shanghai dragons who do you think is |
24952s | going to win |
24953s | i think shark |
24954s | shark because because why not kachong is |
24957s | good because shark is good i believe my |
24959s | boy flopper |
24960s | shock is right there smiling all right |
24962s | patty that is it for the interview thank |
24964s | you so much for your time and again |
24965s | until yeah until we said that |
24968s | that's on him |
24970s | all right all right well you guys you |
24971s | guys take care of that and why you guys |
24973s | are doing that uh awfully take it away |
24975s | i'm weak |
24979s | thank you very much danny what was that |
24981s | i i'm reading between the lines here |
24983s | paddy pan is being held hostage by |
24985s | hunter to trash talk the eastern region |
24988s | johnny how are you feeling about |
24990s | everything that |
24991s | he said like spark is bad not cool and |
24994s | shy is bad as well hasn't improved in |
24996s | years i mean i you know on if he wants |
24999s | to say that i think that reflects more |
25000s | poorly on him |
25003s | then it does shine |
25007s | is real and everyone is being real for |
25009s | recognizing shai besides party pond so |
25014s | i don't know what's going on polyphant |
25015s | come on |
25016s | it was on top antu is holding him i |
25018s | think we blame the australians contrast |
25019s | them yeah yeah australians yeah no |
25022s | powderpoint is actually a very nice kid |
25023s | yeah he's very good he did seem very |
25025s | nice he couldn't even trash talk and |
25026s | hold a steady face |
25028s | keeling over hitting the floor going |
25029s | like no no no just kidding just back |
25031s | pedal back pedal but |
25033s | don't don't backpedal communicate with |
25035s | yeah commit to do it with vigor uh it's |
25038s | a work in progress |
25039s | home grand finals it'd be great you need |
25042s | reiner to come back and then teach him a |
25044s | little bit and get him to you know tea |
25046s | bag dab whatever it was that reiner |
25048s | pulled off before but guys let's start |
25049s | talking about this series because again |
25052s | another five map game gladiators really |
25055s | came out and especially on that final |
25058s | map there was only one person's name |
25059s | that we were absolutely screaming from |
25061s | the rooftops and scott who was it my boy |
25064s | funny astro came in clutch i like that |
25067s | sort of pinch hitter because he did the |
25069s | same thing on coliseum as well he came |
25070s | in he played that lucille and i really |
25072s | like what they did because opposed to |
25074s | what patty fans say shy absolutely |
25077s | dominated them in like the first couple |
25079s | of minutes not even close not even close |
25080s | he was deadlifting |
25082s | the best team in the world he was |
25083s | absolutely dominating but my boy finding |
25084s | astra comes here on illios look at these |
25087s | stats six final blows five deaths but |
25089s | look at the healing done and the damage |
25091s | done on lucio he got so many important |
25094s | frags going absolutely crazy really |
25096s | getting the gladiators over the line and |
25099s | honestly it just enables everyone else |
25101s | to play their game so i wanted to give |
25102s | him a special shout out because i think |
25104s | you know he came in clutching the |
25106s | kickoff clash he's done it once again in |
25107s | the mid-season tournament there were so |
25109s | many points throughout that series as |
25110s | well where you had like all the stats in |
25112s | front of you and you're going like funny |
25114s | astro has the same amount of damage as |
25116s | such and such and he's actually like |
25118s | well it's funny because you know patty |
25120s | pen just did a lot of trash talking but |
25121s | like i'm at the end of this helios mouth |
25123s | i'm looking at the stats i'm like funny |
25124s | astro has more damage than paddy pan |
25127s | and i'm like |
25129s | funny astros doing a lot of work |
25130s | hey hey he won the game with the blade |
25132s | right now he carried he totally carried |
25135s | yeah that was great come out with it at |
25137s | the end i think we have like a couple |
25138s | highlights from that series that we |
25140s | could go ahead and take a look at but |
25141s | again gladiators really coming out and |
25143s | showing up in that final map where it |
25145s | mattered most but unfortunately spark |
25146s | just |
25148s | what happened all right so is this my |
25150s | therapy session now like what was going |
25151s | on here i mean look okay i |
25154s | you know i do think that wow i'm just |
25156s | immediately jumping to the cope here we |
25158s | go |
25159s | was like the better team when it came to |
25161s | like the neutral battle when they were |
25162s | able to play the zenyatta tracer um the |
25165s | shot was able to play the ash and the |
25166s | soldier like this performance here on |
25169s | oasis was like amazing like they ran |
25172s | circles around the l.a gladiators uh |
25174s | whether it was with the wrecking ball |
25175s | the tracer alafaye had like a |
25178s | mind-blowing game on tracer as well just |
25181s | keep finding these picks and then shy on |
25182s | dorado like these guys popped off like |
25186s | the stuff i haven't seen since like |
25188s | shanghai dragons like last year in |
25190s | dallas field when they were like at the |
25191s | very peak of the game it was an |
25193s | unbelievable series but what was even |
25196s | better like what made the series so |
25198s | complete it's like what we talked about |
25199s | it was the funny astro substitute the |
25201s | lucio pic to speed up the tempo and |
25204s | prevent tangjon spark from being able to |
25206s | play their style i mean we're going to |
25208s | the dorado highlights here like |
25211s | i mean just enjoy it like really |
25214s | this was an unbelievable performance |
25216s | from shai um this might be like a top |
25218s | three top five carry performances we've |
25220s | ever seen in the overwatch league on a |
25223s | map this dorado so you gotta give credit |
25225s | to where credit is you um but you also |
25228s | have to recognize that it's so hard to |
25230s | make these on-the-spot substitutions |
25232s | that the ellicott did with funny astro |
25234s | because we always criticize on the desk |
25236s | we always criticize like you know |
25237s | they're subbing this guy in for map five |
25239s | and it doesn't make any sense and it's |
25240s | because these teams they stick to their |
25242s | regiment they stick to their game |
25243s | planning what they've practiced but |
25246s | this almost certainly i mean we don't |
25248s | know but this almost certainly was like |
25249s | an undefined decision to sub in funny |
25251s | astro and speed it up and i have to |
25253s | recognize like the brilliance the |
25255s | strategic brilliance of that and how it |
25257s | paid off beautifully to beat the spark |
25258s | who in my mind was the better team from |
25260s | the start of the match well i think |
25262s | towards the end you really saw the |
25263s | differences in the coordination and as |
25266s | you said the adaptation because on the |
25268s | other hand we credit the gladiators for |
25269s | that funny astro lucio swap on coliseum |
25272s | bernard went from wrecking ball to zaya |
25274s | for 30 seconds to wrecking ball to zaya |
25277s | in the last little second was not better |
25279s | teams but they had the better pop-up |
25281s | players they had the better |
25282s | team |
25283s | yeah but i think that's something that |
25284s | spock has always been known for it seems |
25286s | like they're starting to fill in those |
25287s | holes a little bit and it hasn't been as |
25289s | bad in the playoffs but definitely in |
25291s | this match when they got pushed against |
25293s | the wall when all of a sudden the |
25294s | gladiators like you can't just keep |
25295s | relying on try to pop off they sort of |
25297s | fell apart but you know this shy |
25299s | performance is really the standout thing |
25301s | and i i always worry about the spark of |
25302s | like if shy can't do that every time we |
25305s | see shy not pop off in the way that |
25306s | we're about to say like it's just |
25308s | it's kind of hard to watch a little bit |
25310s | because after he has been stepping up |
25312s | but |
25313s | if without shy if you take shai out of |
25315s | the game and he doesn't show up that's |
25316s | what happens in these last two maps that |
25318s | we saw from the gladiators but |
25320s | yeah i mean at the same time though like |
25322s | i i completely agree with you that like |
25324s | liars have the better team synergy and |
25326s | you know teamwork but also like this is |
25329s | hangzhou sparkle recognizing how |
25331s | powerful sojourn can be when you put so |
25333s | many resources into sojourn yeah it was |
25336s | not just like shy just like popping the |
25337s | overclock and just like oh i'm just |
25338s | gonna shoot all these people like yes |
25340s | that was obviously like what you see but |
25342s | it's also super rich with a really good |
25344s | brigitte performance it's like the armor |
25346s | packs the inspire like rotating all |
25348s | these supportive cooldowns to put that |
25350s | resources into shy like that's the |
25352s | reason why they beat seoul dynasty the |
25354s | other day because their backline was so |
25356s | efficient and so good at taking care of |
25357s | each other so you really saw that at |
25359s | like the highest level in this series |
25361s | too so |
25363s | you know what just came to my mind no i |
25365s | know just reminded me of the 2018 |
25368s | shanghai dragons when they put all of |
25370s | their resources into undead and just |
25372s | tried to pop off but now they actually |
25374s | have shy so it works so honestly the old |
25377s | 40 shanghai dragons are under something |
25379s | they don't have shy you are cool |
25385s | how dare you i'm just saying maybe they |
25387s | had merit that is cursed we should get |
25389s | out of here |
25391s | with the correct predictions right now |
25392s | mr three and two sparks okay all right |
25395s | you know what makes me feel better |
25398s | you're a fusion fan so enjoy you know |
25400s | your little parade |
25402s | about the rain houston that was a great |
25404s | match here today good pick there right |
25406s | yeah houston yeah dang it jake |
25410s | anyways that being said this game coming |
25412s | to its conclusion gladiators are |
25414s | continuing onwards in that upper bracket |
25416s | we could go ahead and take a look at all |
25418s | of our updated brackets as it is and |
25420s | remember the spark is still in it |
25421s | they're just going to be dropping down |
25423s | lower so here we go we have the winner's |
25425s | bracket and there as you see the |
25426s | gladiators moving on to that next match |
25428s | you can also take a look at the lower |
25430s | bracket and see where the spark are |
25433s | falling down into |
25434s | and that's right i said oh wait oh no no |
25437s | way |
25451s | don't worry everything we just saw it's |
25452s | not gonna happen to philly it's fine you |
25454s | have said some things |
25456s | me and the spark and the teacup were |
25459s | coming for you all right |
25461s | i'm so scared of script shy don't worry |
25463s | philly always pull through in the end |
25466s | super rich i'm putting on the cattle |
25468s | let's go |
25470s | rebuild oh i don't feel good about this |
25472s | at all but guys we still do have one |
25474s | more all right oh my god |
25476s | one more prediction for us to |
25478s | potentially all get right or wrong and |
25480s | that's going to be the shock taken on |
25481s | the shanghai dragons now as we get into |
25483s | that game i know we heard about the |
25485s | resumes i heard we heard about a lot of |
25487s | uh thoughts in the pre-show which was |
25489s | like |
25490s | very long oh very long i'm not even |
25492s | wearing a watch that's how |
25495s | long of a time ago it was but just quick |
25497s | thoughts before we get into that game |
25499s | uh i think i went for the shock and you |
25500s | went for shanghai right yeah yeah i i |
25503s | think it's going to be an interesting |
25504s | match it was |
25506s | i i honestly have the shock i'm pretty |
25508s | confident in them i really like what |
25510s | they've been doing with colluge with |
25511s | proper and all that kind of stuff |
25513s | shanghai dragons they've looked shaky |
25515s | you know fate says he has tricks up |
25517s | their sleeve but i'm not sold |
25518s | i just need lip to pop off |
25520s | [Laughter] |
25522s | we can just change the names honestly |
25524s | just change the names that's honestly |
25526s | like that's kind of what it's shanghai |
25528s | they played pretty similar to angel |
25529s | spark yeah they put all their faith in |
25531s | lip being able to pop off on the sojourn |
25535s | and then san francisco shocked a |
25536s | strategic team play well not really but |
25539s | you know they they pay diva so that's a |
25540s | strategic thing i guess |
25542s | look lip just pop off all right that's |
25544s | all i ask i couldn't do it but |
25546s | apparently i'm an apex synth now so here |
25548s | we are all right that's totally fine |
25550s | being a simple is fine now i do have to |
25551s | ask |
25553s | thank you |
25554s | no we shouldn't think we shouldn't stay |

25847s | and we are back it's time for the final |
25849s | series of the evening and oh boy have we |
25852s | been saving the best for last a long |
25855s | standing rivalry between these two |
25856s | organizations it's the shanghai dragons |
25858s | going up against the san francisco |
25860s | shock it's been a good long while since |
25863s | we've seen these two clash now it's here |
25864s | and overwatch too different roster on |
25866s | the opposite side shanghai dragons |
25868s | widely looking the same now it's time |
25870s | for them to make battle and see who |
25871s | comes out on top |
25873s | it's crazy that you're saying saving the |
25875s | best for last is what we just got is |
25876s | going to be hard to top look |
25878s | usually |
25879s | five minute fridays uh today is actually |
25882s | friday for the two of us so five bet |
25884s | friday officially activated we're gonna |
25885s | take this all the way again |
25888s | this is going to be epic though it |
25889s | should be but uh look san francisco |
25891s | shock shanghai dragons |
25892s | two championship teams two of the best |
25894s | teams in overwatch history with london |
25896s | gone now because the only two |
25898s | championship teams franchise wise that |
25900s | remain in this tournament now clashing |
25902s | in the upper bracket |
25904s | we had glads versus hangzhou being so |
25906s | damn good yeah i think this uh this |
25908s | match has got to deliver us all it has |
25910s | to |
25910s | yeah i mean so many people saying like |
25913s | that was you know maybe one of the best |
25914s | series that we've we've had so far in |
25916s | overwatch league here in 2022 uh let's |
25918s | say you know oh that last matchup goes |
25920s | up into the the top matches of all time |
25923s | i think this one could absolutely take |
25924s | the cake and if it doesn't honestly it |
25926s | feels like we will have been robbed |
25928s | because these two teams this absolutely |
25930s | should go to the distance it should be |
25931s | an incredible match between the two |
25933s | here's the starting five for the side of |
25935s | the shanghai dragons you and i were |
25937s | talking a little bit earlier when we're |
25938s | hanging out with mr uh uh connor prince |
25941s | and uh you said we're probably not gonna |
25943s | see lee j god but here he is from the |
25945s | outset |
25947s | i was joking though because they were |
25949s | they were they were meaning on him but |
25951s | they forget that lee jay gone uh and the |
25953s | map one versus dallas fuel absolutely |
25955s | carried on that break |
25956s | but the man that you have to worry about |
25958s | is left we talked about sergeants which |
25959s | saw how good shai was lip is also an |
25962s | absolute freaking not just on the |
25963s | solution but also on that water maker so |
25965s | there's an opportunity especially on |
25966s | that map free of escort whatever it ends |
25968s | up being if lip can play the water maker |
25969s | again |
25970s | it could get very interesting kilo's got |
25973s | his work cut out for him but these two |
25974s | teams in 2022 cannot be more different |
25978s | you have the shanghai dragons with not a |
25980s | single rookie on this team as a team for |
25982s | the veterans a team for the champions a |
25984s | team for the mvp candidates roll stars |
25986s | you name it and on the other end |
25989s | are some of the top rookies in the |
25991s | entire world all coalesced onto a single |
25993s | roster led by violet really is uncle |
25996s | violet and i think it is the count now |
25998s | six rookies on the squad with violet the |
26002s | prime of them being obviously proper |
26004s | second left on the screen this is the |
26005s | guy you gotta talk about um desk is |
26008s | again contractually obliged to talk |
26010s | about him at all times and probably for |
26011s | good reason i think he is still the top |
26013s | rookie that we have had so far and has |
26015s | been the top performer every single time |
26016s | that shot get into trouble this guy |
26018s | bails them out he is phenomenal |
26022s | yeah he's just been taking the league in |
26024s | north america by storm now gets to try |
26027s | his hand against the current reigning |
26029s | champions who have been getting back |
26031s | into form as of late obviously an |
26033s | incredibly rough start to the season for |
26035s | the side of the shanghai dragons they |
26036s | were playing under incredible you know |
26038s | circumstances given the lockdowns that |
26040s | they were undergoing but still did |
26042s | manage to put up some solid numbers now |
26044s | that they are back in the team house now |
26045s | that they're back on camera they have |
26047s | really been tapping back into that 2021 |
26051s | potential that we saw from them that got |
26052s | them the championship victory we'll see |
26055s | how they fare now going up against the |
26057s | two time |
26059s | and there's a seven match win streak for |
26062s | the san francisco shop that has not been |
26064s | broken |
26065s | their last loss was actually versus the |
26067s | dallas field in the kickoff clash |
26068s | tournament in dallas itself live since |
26071s | then |
26072s | seven straight wins |
26074s | haven't lost |
26075s | looking phenomenal shanghai dragons |
26077s | though might prove to be the toughest |
26079s | competition for the shock yet the last |
26082s | time that these two teams met it was in |
26084s | that playoffs run when moon picked shock |
26087s | in the opening round and 3-0 then krusty |
26090s | didn't want to pick dragons this time |
26091s | but the dragons will find you anyway |
26093s | let's kick things off here back on oasis |
26096s | it's going to be university key thing to |
26098s | note is that colluge and kilo and |
26100s | usually you see mikey on this map |
26102s | playing the ball you get sam in here |
26103s | playing bit of sojourn as well but it is |
26105s | going to be a different look for the |
26106s | shock they've been holding this in their |
26107s | sleeves |
26110s | let's see so far the teams who have been |
26112s | electing to take us to oasis haven't |
26114s | been coming up with wins on it can it be |
26116s | a different story for the side of the |
26118s | shock come into this as the number one |
26121s | seed overall |
26123s | gates have opened up |
26125s | minor differences here in the |
26127s | compositions no sojourn for the side of |
26128s | this shock you look |
26130s | here with the ash |
26133s | it's usually the airpack team that plays |
26134s | the the ash right into the team plays |
26136s | social but today we're gonna get a bit |
26138s | of an opposite experience flip feeling |
26140s | himself with the rails oh he survives he |
26142s | doesn't collusion |
26145s | diving in off the back of the dynamite |
26146s | finds that elimination now looks for a |
26148s | little bit more faith trying to make his |
26149s | exit but proper gets on top of him |
26152s | two quick kills here for the side of the |
26154s | shock the point lockdown goes their way |
26155s | with relative ease |
26158s | the proper as well on defletting me |
26160s | that's gonna be a very interesting match |
26161s | up |
26162s | flat out one of our historic best races |
26164s | that we've had on the mvp lip being |
26166s | taken down grandfather's mpp from last |
26168s | year |
26169s | shocked looking pretty good so far |
26172s | then just sat way back playing this off |
26174s | angle |
26175s | towards coast side |
26177s | lobbing in those right-click charge ups |
26178s | his fate under some pressure it does |
26180s | fall low is a yaki he'll just go ahead |
26182s | and nom up that healing though |
26184s | yeah go ahead keep getting chunked out |
26186s | long as you don't die i don't mind i |
26187s | want to get this nano up as quickly as i |
26188s | can right now looking to contest that |
26190s | high ground has to drop back down he's |
26191s | instantly evaporated great focus fire |
26194s | the discord orbs flying across finn the |
26197s | target selection in this regard has been |
26198s | utterly impeccable |
26201s | enemy in sight yeah slept there as well |
26203s | could have ended up with a kill but to |
26204s | get woken up very quickly |
26206s | very very slow start with the shanghai |
26208s | dragons zero kill so far not a single |
26210s | final blow yet to find an opening |
26213s | and four four the san francisco shock |
26214s | allowed them to get fifty percent okay |
26216s | dive into the battle first kill faith |
26218s | heard you talking smack shuts down kilo |
26220s | who's gonna be taking a nap and you're |
26222s | standing outside was able to go ahead |
26223s | and scoop the kill |
26225s | fade as well now going to be |
26226s | anti-sleeping it's uh not woken up but |
26228s | won't be taken down stay safe the flip |
26231s | is going to be there 63 locked in for |
26232s | the shock three times |
26234s | yeah just uh you know no opinions |
26236s | inserted there for me just stating the |
26237s | raw effects of it and the raw facts will |
26239s | have the shanghai dragons go from zero |
26241s | to five kills gonna be the entire san |
26243s | francisco shock taken down starts with |
26245s | fate and it ends with a cap 63 to catch |
26248s | up on though it is a bit of a distance |
26250s | to go in san francisco shock still have |
26252s | ultimates to play through they haven't |
26253s | really had to alt yet so here we go |
26255s | both teams looking to play through bob |
26257s | to probably open up this as well |
26260s | i think you being a similar mind to me |
26263s | off to hold that thought actually huge |
26264s | damage going through the nade comes in |
26266s | kilo and pilot |
26267s | getting a battle in as they look for the |
26269s | rest of the cleanup shot unable to |
26270s | create any kills |
26272s | what is gonna say you should know by now |
26273s | that people don't like to listen to |
26274s | facts they'll fight back against them |
26279s | he said shanghai are doing poorly he |
26281s | must be any bias there you go keep up |
26283s | make sure the energy is consistent at |
26284s | least make sure the energy is consistent |
26285s | guys shanghai dragons four ultimates now |
26288s | shock on five the catch-up is here so |
26291s | the |
26292s | opening kills from the dragons doesn't |
26293s | allow them to hold onto the point so far |
26295s | always finally big stick though violet |
26298s | out the nano boost did go forward on the |
26299s | collusion is now up into the air with |
26300s | the meteor strike bait going to be taken |
26302s | down aquila finds him once more |
26304s | they see it up collusion getting back up |
26305s | towards the point gets the punch there |
26306s | knocking limp away does come back in |
26309s | though gets a great head shot onto the |
26310s | enemy ash with the overclock rolling |
26312s | now shanghai dragons have taken the |
26315s | proper down as well |
26317s | making his presence known after kind of |
26319s | getting farmed in the early days but |
26320s | this is the lift we were anticipating a |
26322s | bit |
26323s | double kill after kill gets violent on |
26325s | the back end of the fight i believe |
26327s | that's four total throughout for him as |
26329s | they will maintain this control now |
26331s | shock last fight for them no wants to |
26333s | work with |
26336s | they have to come in collusion entering |
26337s | first and |
26338s | hope that they can keep them alive |
26339s | shanghai dragons they can just make this |
26341s | dive onto the back line lip is already |
26342s | still |
26343s | really far out look at the initial kill |
26345s | fake goes in |
26346s | there he does kilos out of him doing low |
26349s | kilo gonna be taking down fate finding |
26350s | the elimination over time forced out |
26353s | dive forward kalooz trying to take down |
26355s | lip 12 hp now down to seven proper |
26357s | manages to make his way forward gets |
26359s | that kill in the end shock having some |
26361s | presence here on the point but widely |
26363s | it's just colluge proper joining in once |
26365s | more the pulse bomb 23 percent away gets |
26367s | knocked back from the whip shot clutch |
26369s | emptied out has to make his exit for a |
26370s | brief moment fade as well so low and |
26372s | proper as it will chase he gets the |
26373s | melee hit they finish them off and that |
26375s | kill alone is enough for them to get the |
26376s | flipper they're back in control aj gone |
26378s | having to get his weight back |
26380s | everybody in an arm's length and now the |
26382s | shanghai dragons they're the ones who |
26383s | have to retake |
26385s | really clutch coming in from the shock |
26387s | assaulting you talk about retakes they |
26389s | lost kilo early on they still contest |
26391s | and still grinded out there fights a |
26392s | shark signs on life importantly that |
26395s | could have been disastrous for them but |
26397s | major plays especially proper result |
26398s | that we saw getting fake down putting a |
26401s | blink into the mega lake flatter on the |
26402s | hunter has been spotted dodges asleep |
26404s | though the pulse goes out into the wall |
26407s | but finn still gets dropped then it was |
26408s | now going to be used collusion the |
26410s | recipient once more |
26411s | profit the proper rather on the hunt the |
26414s | stick is good lift knocked out of the |
26416s | fight meteor strike going to be used |
26418s | staying safe the flipping of the |
26418s | meantime has been there for the side of |
26420s | the dragons they retake control of the |
26421s | point |
26423s | they still need a hell of a lot more if |
26424s | they want to win this one the t's |
26425s | bleeding away no one's able to touch |
26427s | flutter cleaning up two in the back end |
26429s | the shanghai dragons will nearly walk |
26431s | away with a win on university |
26434s | a c9 i'm going to call that right now uh |
26436s | everyone was basically dead on the shark |
26438s | probably had to recall away kilo and |
26440s | finn not really expected touch there |
26441s | when college dies in proper recall it's |
26444s | basically done five alive on dragons |
26446s | versus three and dragons will finish |
26448s | things off a very slow start |
26450s | exceptionally low start there for |
26451s | dragons i believe it was first 50 for |
26453s | the shock that they had capped out |
26455s | dragons had zero final blows not a |
26457s | single kill from dragons when shotgun 50 |
26460s | on the cap |
26461s | dragons will end that round with 19 |
26463s | frags from zero to 19 |
26465s | in quite a quick fashion you know |
26467s | shanghai |
26468s | usually called you know the shang ai |
26471s | they take a little bit of time to |
26472s | download the stretch from the other team |
26473s | download what the other team are doing |
26475s | once that download has started we'll see |
26477s | where it ends san francisco shock now |
26478s | rolling out pretty much the same |
26479s | composition as before dragon's now |
26481s | playing ball with fletter on the echo |
26484s | and a little lip tracer as well |
26487s | leaching on |
26489s | instantly knocked down low stays alive |
26493s | just goes rolling across the point here |
26496s | well a little ring around the rosie |
26497s | rotating around the map a little bit of |
26499s | a scenic route for him as the point gets |
26500s | ready to unlock |
26502s | shock do have a little bit more of an |
26504s | inside track dive into the back the |
26505s | stairwell it's a massive pile driver |
26507s | here but it's gonna be flutter who |
26508s | actually gets taken down trying to play |
26509s | off the back of fate setup |
26512s | debated him by his tank follow-up kill |
26514s | they're on the lip as the point lockdown |
26516s | will once more be there for the side of |
26518s | the shock first and foremost |
26520s | well played by violet there you see the |
26521s | anti-man coming through off the planet |
26523s | mocks them up with the purple |
26525s | chances to get too much done after that |
26526s | so |
26527s | yeah you're just seeing uh the shock |
26529s | trying to get further kills to stagger |
26530s | out the shanghai dragon is not going to |
26532s | happen fake will be there to protect |
26534s | and now fled will be the one taking the |
26536s | traces so a bit of a swap here two |
26538s | player swapping does hurt for the |
26539s | dragons as far as looking at alt economy |
26542s | goes that's two players resetting back |
26543s | to zero |
26547s | dragons they're gonna get this flip so |
26549s | far |
26550s | too much of a contention from the side |
26551s | of the shop |
26553s | then you rotate down now |
26554s | slippery joins the sojourn in hand |
26558s | pulse bomb at the ready limp going low |
26560s | and there's the chase proper gets on top |
26561s | of him once more |
26563s | he's able to play off these setups from |
26564s | his teammates so perfectly well |
26567s | and has been traded but now fate gonna |
26568s | be taken down it looks like the shock |
26570s | should be able to hold this for a while |
26572s | once more auntie out on the two there's |
26574s | the pulse pop just for good measure |
26575s | proper cleaning up the supports |
26577s | 50 percent now crested |
26580s | when we talk about good rookies this |
26582s | year so far we've seen alfie versus ryan |
26584s | but here we go proper |
26586s | every single time another rookie looks |
26587s | good probably says no no i am leading |
26589s | this rookie the year race currently and |
26590s | he is going to keep the shock |
26592s | continually in the lead here 63 and |
26594s | counting nano still available bob coming |
26596s | up for kilo dragons |
26598s | finally looking at some important |
26599s | ultimates again lip and flinders |
26600s | severely behind and alts because they |
26601s | swapped like |
26605s | they're trying to play catch up here |
26607s | you can do it quickly shock right now |
26610s | looking great on pace for a hundred and |
26611s | zero on the round |
26613s | gonna be nattered up but it doesn't |
26615s | matter |
26616s | they just get right on top of him the |
26617s | back of the |
26619s | get the elimination flip moving up onto |
26620s | the high ground now going to be taking a |
26622s | nap violet putting him in the bed for a |
26623s | little bit and there's the kill |
26625s | for the charge up takes him down but |
26628s | proper was dealt with in the meantime |
26630s | bob going to be occupying the point |
26631s | keeping this contested legion just |
26632s | trying to poop him off we'll be able to |
26634s | get enough distance there faint touches |
26637s | in forces out the ot flat ticking down |
26639s | taken down |
26640s | then finding a kill once more now has |
26642s | the transcendence ready to go cluj gets |
26643s | the hit on the lee jaegon maybe even |
26645s | setting off the side of the map didn't |
26646s | quite get to catch it is the yucky dead |
26648s | as well no supports no tank lift dead |
26650s | there's the closeout shock with a |
26652s | fantastic reply an incredibly close |
26654s | first round now they just absolutely |
26656s | sweep them one garden |
26659s | so they don't give any opportunity for |
26660s | the dragons to make that comeback right |
26662s | it's not |
26663s | uncommon for the dragons to be down by |
26665s | quite a lot of percentage points when |
26666s | you go back to toronto versus dragons |
26668s | matchup as well dragons are uncanny in |
26670s | their ability to make a comeback right |
26671s | toronto started at 99 i believe it was |
26673s | illegal as well shanghai come back 099 |
26676s | doesn't matter they get the zero to 100 |
26678s | here shock just go don't give them any |
26680s | breathing space which is exactly how you |
26682s | need to be playing against the shanghai |
26683s | dragons from start to finish |
26686s | proper collusion i mean that sleep down |
26687s | as well multiple sleep thoughts from |
26688s | violet that connects beautifully |
26690s | allowing for kills lip sleeping there |
26692s | he's thinking it's one of the worst |
26693s | situations you're thinking maybe i'll |
26694s | wake up i'm probably alive when you see |
26697s | finn walk up with a fireball clean you |
26699s | up |
26700s | there it is the shock wall actually come |
26701s | out with the same strat as the alley |
26703s | gladiators it's going to be the road hog |
26705s | from colluge in a very similar fashion |
26707s | to the clyde's trying to counter |
26708s | bernard's ball |
26710s | wants to try and get facebook but he's |
26711s | yucky it's the first one quick first |
26713s | blood at that still 12 seconds until the |
26715s | point lock uh unlocked so finn will have |
26717s | an opportunity to rejoin |
26719s | let's set them up nicely to posture |
26720s | forward though and try to go for that |
26722s | initial control pile driver in gets the |
26724s | knock off the charge |
26725s | not going to be able to connect there |
26727s | from busy yucky goes to the hook trying |
26729s | to drag fate in but there's just too |
26731s | much pressure being applied to the |
26732s | roadhog so ends up going down |
26734s | point unlocked this time the dragon's |
26736s | able to establish control off the rip |
26738s | we'll see if kaluj wants to flip away |
26740s | and yeah he's gonna go over to that diva |
26743s | which has been kind of his signature |
26745s | pick so far i'm personally still just |
26747s | waiting to be more convinced by the diva |
26749s | he kind of showed this versus london as |
26750s | well usually waits until i get bald to |
26752s | pull it out but here we go straight away |
26754s | on oasis city center the devil will make |
26757s | an early appearance is it gonna be good |
26759s | enough |
26760s | so fresh swap as well kilo as well zero |
26763s | ultimate charge dragon said 700 hp worth |
26766s | of roadhog to build up holds |
26769s | speed kind of getting beaten and |
26771s | battered as he looks for an opening |
26774s | pops the adaptive shield doesn't get too |
26775s | much shielding there stick comes in and |
26777s | hit the two on one special proper takes |
26780s | out flutter takes out lip in one fell |
26782s | swoop |
26783s | fate i don't even know what happened |
26784s | there went off the side of the map i |
26785s | don't know i don't care |
26787s | all i know is the shock absolutely |
26790s | pounded in the fight kilo cleaning up |
26792s | two on the back end as well and now |
26794s | they're in control |
26796s | proper so phenomenal on this tracer |
26800s | the double kills coming on through what |
26802s | he did on the previous round in gardens |
26803s | as well |
26804s | more than keeps |
26806s | shock into this plate now they finally |
26808s | get the percentage up 20 and counting |
26810s | dragons still working over towards some |
26811s | of their own outfits flirting about to |
26812s | hit that pulse bomb as well let's |
26815s | flatter versus proper matchup has been |
26816s | super super exciting but profit |
26819s | he's made this one he's trying to make |
26821s | this one as one side as possible that he |
26822s | can |
26825s | lose just eating that damage from behind |
26826s | widely stay safe but for the discord orb |
26828s | invested as well he will get demect |
26832s | looking for the kill on the baby diva |
26833s | take him low haven't finished him off |
26835s | yet but he's also not gaining too much |
26836s | as far as that pistol is concerned |
26838s | trying to get back into his mech but |
26840s | proper tequila still just doing the line |
26842s | share the work here for the side of the |
26843s | shock lipidly take on are taken out izzy |
26846s | yucking pressure being applied and he's |
26848s | actually going to pop the trans he |
26848s | commits it here to the fight after |
26850s | taking down finn i feel like they can |
26852s | turn this but |
26853s | i don't know if i'm fully convinced yet |
26855s | pulse bomb lobbed in proper not gonna |
26856s | find the hit takes the recall out back |
26858s | up the full hp makes his exit grabs the |
26859s | mini pack |
26861s | that's a little bit of damage there on |
26862s | the faith by dragons they use that |
26864s | trance they haven't been able to make |
26865s | their way over to the point they're |
26866s | trying to get this flipping now izzy is |
26867s | gonna be taken down it's just league |
26868s | left alive shield raised trying to |
26870s | survive the pressure being applied he |
26872s | cannot they break it down proper finds |
26874s | the kill in the shock looking to run |
26876s | away with this map |
26878s | beautiful stuff from proper there just |
26879s | staying alive putting the pressure on |
26880s | forcing the trance and he might not be |
26883s | able to kill yuziaki well they'll |
26884s | eventually get izyaki down but the |
26886s | dragons are just struggling to put a lid |
26888s | on properly going down now they have to |
26890s | use a rally 99 coming up now for the |
26892s | shark dragons would have to make the |
26894s | comeback kilo also getting some |
26895s | brilliant opening picks |
26897s | looking to see if lift can do the same |
26898s | thing |
26901s | overclock the overclocked pin with the |
26903s | transcendence about to be up rallies is |
26905s | well available for either side |
26907s | limp searching for a target spots a few |
26910s | there's the rally going through he gets |
26911s | kilo in the head |
26912s | shuts him down and that's gonna be a |
26914s | pause called in the middle of the action |
26920s | okay |
26921s | deep breaths in 99 up |
26924s | remember |
26936s | [Music] |
26945s | [Music] |
26953s | [Music] |
26959s | alrighty well |
26961s | uh huge kills going through looks like |
26963s | everyone might be having a little bit of |
26964s | an issue as well as we have this pause |
26966s | so it's all right you guys just hang |
26967s | tight with me |
26969s | and uh we will see how this all develops |
26972s | not sure exactly what the issue is seems |
26974s | to be on the shock side of things but |
26976s | hopefully we can get this taken care of |
26977s | we'll go right back into the game as |
26979s | this is a very tense moment what avril |
26981s | was trying to say is that |
26983s | uh given the situation right now for the |
26985s | shock even if they do lose out on this |
26987s | fight should be in a comfortable |
26989s | position and since they are already at |
26991s | 99 percent of the dragons have to start |
26993s | from 40 try to build all the way back up |
26994s | to the top but we'll see if they can |
26996s | even win this one out because the shock |
26998s | have been incredibly clutch so far |
27001s | see |
27002s | what occurs and if i get any updates |
27003s | obviously i will share that with you |
27005s | guys but for now we're just going to be |
27006s | hanging out |
27007s | and getting ready to go back into this |
27008s | and i can't hear you i'm not sure if |
27010s | you're prepped on stream or not but uh |
27012s | hopefully okay seems like we are good |
27014s | apple's back and uh yeah we're still in |
27017s | a boss |
27020s | [Music] |
27028s | [Music] |
27032s | okay |
27033s | looks like he's looks like he's still |
27035s | having a couple of issues so it's okay |
27039s | this is what happens you got sometimes |
27040s | the online productions and uh this can |
27043s | occur but it's fine |
27046s | i'm here and i will i will keep you guys |
27048s | company as we uh |
27051s | uh get our way through these bosses of |
27053s | course this is just things that happen i |
27054s | i've been cursed for so very long ever |
27057s | since contenders of 2018 and whatnot |
27059s | even before then some of the other games |
27060s | that i cast the long pauses have come |
27062s | through and it's just uh it's something |
27064s | that continues to follow me you know |
27066s | it's just uh it is what it is but you |
27068s | get used to it at a certain point you |
27069s | just have to sit back and uh relish the |
27071s | pauses and now you get to have a little |
27072s | bit of a podcast moment normally i have |
27074s | somebody accompanying me but hopefully |
27075s | we can get avril back into this and get |
27077s | everything worked out on his uh side of |
27079s | things so that we can carry on and i |
27080s | have somebody to converse with otherwise |
27082s | you guys are just going to be listening |
27083s | to the ramblings of a madman as i |
27085s | steadily decline into insanity uh |
27087s | sitting here in a pause by myself so |
27090s | either way whichever way you know it you |
27092s | know transpires it should be uh |
27094s | entertaining at least for you guys uh |
27096s | because if the game starts up then we're |
27097s | really excited and if it doesn't then i |
27099s | keep talking you get to watch me go |
27100s | crazy so there we go uh entertainment |
27103s | value no matter which way you slice it |
27104s | once more i think i'm hearing apple |
27106s | we'll see if his uh connection |
27108s | situation has leveled out and if we're |
27111s | gonna be good uh but yeah still waiting |
27114s | on the pause hopefully taken care of |
27116s | i don't know what's going on |
27118s | so how are you guys doing |
27121s | i hope chad's uh hanging in there doing |
27122s | well |
27123s | so |

27128s | i can't read the chat it's not going to |
27130s | and then if i did you guys would be like |
27131s | a minute behind so it's kind of |
27133s | difficult to have a a conversation but i |
27135s | hope that you guys are hanging in there |
27136s | alongside me and i have been enjoying |
27138s | the matches so far today because it has |
27140s | been a pretty crazy day as we have had |
27143s | kind of |
27144s | each and every day in this tournament |
27145s | which is great this is one of the things |
27147s | that we've been lacking for a while and |
27148s | i've been really looking forward to |
27149s | obviously is international competition |
27151s | and i'm really glad to see that so far |
27153s | all of the teams are very much |
27155s | delivering we haven't really had too |
27156s | many one-sided affairs uh in this |
27158s | tournament series and everything has |
27160s | been |
27161s | pretty damn awesome to watch so |
27164s | i for one is super excited to continue |
27167s | things and just uh see how everything uh |
27169s | keeps going |
27171s | so i hope that you guys are enjoying it |
27173s | as well i know that it's it's you know |
27174s | depending on where you are in the world |
27176s | it's late it's early it's in the middle |
27177s | of the afternoon uh so for those of you |
27180s | guys who are waking up early or staying |
27181s | up late to be able to watch these |
27182s | matches we appreciate all of you i |
27184s | personally appreciate and love all of |
27186s | you |
27186s | so |
27187s | keep fighting the good fight which is |
27189s | you know fighting against your |
27191s | needing to have to sleep |
27193s | and stay in here with us because you |
27194s | know if i could if i can do this if i |
27195s | can get up at five in the morning for a |
27197s | tech check-in and then start casting |
27199s | like seven hours later and try to keep |
27201s | you guys entertained then uh |
27203s | it should be uh you know |
27205s | it should be all right |
27207s | i think you guys can hang in there but i |
27209s | think we're gonna be getting things |
27210s | underway in just a moment so hopefully |
27213s | we'll be going back into the action and |
27214s | i will be |
27215s | uh |
27216s | i i will be your guide i will be your |
27218s | ferryman taking you through the rest of |
27219s | this map it would seem as we just |
27220s | continue to work on avril's side of |
27222s | things so it's all good you're in good |
27225s | hands as it turns out |
27227s | so hopefully we'll just get this |
27229s | resuming here pretty quickly reading uh |
27232s | in the chat league on saying uh |
27234s | or no collusion saying please don't kill |
27236s | me so it seems like he thinks he might |
27237s | be in a bit of a rough spot as we get |
27239s | ready to go out of the pause and here we |
27241s | go the action's gonna resume lift the |
27242s | overclock now expiring looking for |
27245s | another target had just taken down kilo |
27246s | moments before we had that pause come |
27248s | through |
27249s | probably getting tagged up as well this |
27250s | rail still being held transcend it's |
27252s | going to be used by finn |
27254s | you'll be very alive for the moment |
27255s | proper pulse pop nearly online he finds |
27258s | fleta takes him down to about half hp |
27260s | the ot starts to bleed away rapidly |
27261s | violet gets on top of the legion god |
27263s | finds that elimination and they can't |
27264s | get on to the point fleta steps off for |
27267s | just a moment and all that build up all |
27269s | that weight to see what was gonna happen |
27272s | and it all comes to an end so the kill |
27274s | on kilo be damned the shock they brush |
27277s | it off they get the win they spam the |
27280s | chat with some c9s and they draw first |
27282s | blood over the shanghai dragons moving |
27284s | up 1-0 in the series |
27299s | i'm like i'm not gonna lie i can't hear |
27301s | apple he's he's coming in really choppy |
27302s | every now and then i wasn't sure if he |
27304s | was back he's not so uh you guys are |
27306s | just still with me for the time being |
27308s | but there we go a great lead for the |
27310s | side of the san francisco shock and a |
27311s | fantastic showing they're going to be |
27312s | feeling great after getting this win a |
27314s | team finally won on their pick when they |
27316s | selected oasis to start off a series |
27318s | that's something to celebrate all by |
27320s | itself but now it's gonna be the |
27321s | shanghai dragons who do have map pick at |
27323s | their disposal we'll see where they want |
27326s | to take us for hybrids been a hell of a |
27328s | lot of kings row as of late so maybe |
27329s | we'll get some more of that i don't know |
27332s | all i know is that we are going to take |
27333s | a little break see if we can get avril |
27335s | uh right back in here alongside me but |
27337s | either way i'll be here and i can't wait |
27339s | to resume we'll go to a quick little |
27341s | break and we'll see what the shanghai |
27342s | dragons land on for their map pick |
27355s | [Music] |
27361s | [Music] |

27789s | the only thing that matters in this comp |
27790s | is the ryan so |
27800s | alrighty we are back and hopefully |
27802s | everything is uh good to go moving |
27804s | forward we've got avril back in the |
27805s | driver's seat alongside me and we are |
27807s | going to carry forward with this series |
27809s | shock able to take the first map their |
27811s | pick of oasis they lock it in it looks |
27814s | good now the dragons as we move forward |
27816s | to hybrid they're gonna be taking us to |
27817s | eichenball |
27819s | two on one finish there from the shock |
27821s | there as well dragons could not bring it |
27823s | back on city center |
27825s | and i don't know if we got this one in |
27827s | the broadcast a little bit earlier on |
27828s | but i was saying that that is actually |
27830s | the first map loss of the shanghai |
27832s | dragon so far this entire tournament |
27834s | they are actually zero they're actually |
27835s | six and zero in map wins across their |
27837s | two matches so |
27839s | they had looked pretty indomitable but |
27840s | shock coming through |
27842s | and prove that the dragons can indeed |
27844s | bleed |
27846s | they have the dragons though the |
27848s | question is has this angered them or |
27850s | weakened them will they be able to reply |
27853s | get into form and look to shut them down |
27855s | and tie up the series as mentioned i can |
27857s | both gonna be the map pick for hybrid |
27860s | we'll be moving forward |
27861s | seeing if the shock can take a stretch |
27863s | lead i mean what a statement it would be |
27865s | if they are able to get a 2-0 start and |
27867s | force the shanghai dragons into a |
27869s | reverse sweep |
27871s | position |
27873s | and really set themselves up for success |
27875s | to move forward here in this tournament |
27877s | shanghai dragons yeah we know what can |
27879s | happen when they are pressed we know |
27880s | that even if they do get into that |
27882s | position they are fairly reliable and |
27884s | you cannot count them out if a reverse |
27886s | sweep is necessary uh but obviously you |
27888s | want to avoid that they want to be able |
27890s | to come back into this wii and gain |
27892s | control in the series |
27894s | i mean we expected that this is going to |
27895s | be competitive series right a two and |
27897s | one finish on oaxis dragons finally |
27898s | losing their first map |
27900s | the san francisco shark now also |
27901s | bringing sam in over kilo so we have the |
27904s | eye convolved or actually did sort of |
27906s | tease this map uh while we were going |
27908s | through oasis when collusion brought up |
27909s | the diva right this is actually a map |
27911s | that cluj has specifically been running |
27913s | the diva on |
27914s | to be very clear this is definitely what |
27917s | i would consider off meta even from |
27918s | talking to you know some of the other |
27920s | coaches as well to get their thoughts on |
27921s | where diva's place is in the middle uh |
27923s | it's pretty unanimous across the board |
27925s | uh well minor shock here that uh diva |
27928s | definitely isn't really one of the main |
27930s | picks on tank that you would expect so |
27932s | shock have definitely been the one team |
27934s | that want to do as much of this as |
27935s | possible dragons now tasting their first |
27938s | little bit of defeat in the mid-season |
27940s | madness tournament see if they can |
27941s | bounce back |
27943s | well here we go |
27945s | doors opened up same on the echo up in |
27947s | the sky proper of course just gonna be |
27948s | on the tracer why would you put him on |
27950s | anything else given the performance that |
27951s | he's put up already in this series let |
27953s | alone the whole tournament in season |
27956s | long |
27958s | making their way forward now on the |
27959s | attack shanghai dragons getting ready to |
27961s | assault the point fate hanging back |
27962s | because the moment leader got out in the |
27964s | open shield bashes away to break line of |
27966s | sight still falling low and the shield |
27968s | is down he's swinging |
27970s | instead of keeping himself protected the |
27971s | healing throughput ferments izzy is |
27973s | nowhere near high enough |
27975s | save his cohort lyft doesn't manage to |
27976s | find one though putting proper in the |
27978s | dirt |
27979s | good headshot from him but let's control |
27980s | it off the back if it wants to just wait |
27982s | and see lee jiang is gonna be rushing to |
27983s | try to rejoin |
27985s | yeah it's five before currently proper |
27986s | still needs to get back here from spawn |
27988s | they're trying to dive on top of colluge |
27990s | if dragons cannot kill they can force |
27991s | the fight before once more already one |
27994s | tick a second one getting ready to come |
27995s | through conceded by the side of the |
27997s | shock dragons seemingly satisfied with |
27999s | that go ahead pull back away from the |
28001s | point |
28002s | sure that everybody is nice and safe |
28004s | topped up on the hp bars and look to |
28006s | re-aggress |
28010s | there's the roll out very big ring on |
28012s | the tampon i mean we saw the two ticks |
28014s | coming on through it so i haven't had |
28015s | any ultimates online for either squad so |
28017s | this is just going to come down to |
28018s | neutral picks we find one easy twice i |
28021s | mean they just rotate away from proper |
28022s | he still will get his yaki on the end |
28024s | but not before |
28025s | he claims two big pickups now but it |
28028s | finds violet paint dropped proper still |
28030s | alive pulse bomb at the ready this is |
28032s | still turnable for the side of the shock |
28033s | jump over to the side grabs the health |
28035s | pack but with clues broken out of the |
28036s | mech that is going to be the cap coming |
28038s | in but maybe robert was able to commit |
28040s | on that fight |
28041s | could have turned it around but it is |
28043s | not here's the z |
28044s | like to do |
28046s | yeah so you know you see the dragons |
28048s | actually a multi-man dive easy aki part |
28050s | of the dive with both lip and fate i |
28052s | mean she's looking from easy people he's |
28054s | he goes through that sort of left side |
28055s | and then instantly lip slides in fate |
28058s | rolls in and they roll two members of |
28060s | the shock instantaneously the shock dude |
28062s | respond with a couple of frags but it's |
28063s | not gonna be enough to save the point |
28064s | proper did not get to use that pulse one |
28066s | still has an available filler flitter as |
28068s | well together in i'll be looking for his |
28070s | own pick |
28073s | from now |
28075s | forward choked surrendered by the shark |
28077s | not looking to contest it yet as the |
28079s | cart moves up to the first corner this |
28081s | is when they'll start getting involved |
28082s | kalu's dropping down to the low ground |
28084s | instantly chunked out to about half |
28085s | rotates up top stay safe get some long |
28088s | range coming through |
28090s | you know is available pulse not flip |
28092s | flooded not gonna find anything though |
28095s | no opening kill to be found so the cart |
28096s | still widely gonna be locked into |
28098s | position as |
28099s | dragons are looking to retake the castle |
28101s | here |
28103s | yeah this is likely maybe a defensive |
28104s | nano because there's no great now to |
28106s | tigers you could be narrowing sam but he |
28107s | doesn't have the ultimate mana gets a |
28109s | kill though or you just hold onto i need |
28111s | to burn the ultimate at this stage yeah |
28113s | don't just keep it held on inches the |
28115s | card forward a little bit more but now |
28116s | with this yaki going down it's gonna be |
28117s | further staggers |
28119s | but in deep antenate out onto two the |
28121s | chase ford is there proper trying to get |
28123s | that execution |
28124s | can't quite get it but does force them |
28126s | back |
28127s | three minutes 20 seconds now |
28131s | low all trade game here as well because |
28133s | you see that one pulse one for flatter |
28134s | but the other nine members are holding |
28136s | on as more and more ultimate start |
28138s | piling in and this is probably what you |
28140s | expect right a dragons member will dive |
28141s | on top of a shark invite will probably |
28143s | use the now defensively unlike finn if |
28145s | he gets into trouble |
28146s | dragon's trying to take a little bit of |
28148s | high ground control here you see them |
28149s | rotating around the map they've |
28150s | abandoned the car they just want mass |
28152s | control |
28154s | rally opened up from legit gone proper |
28157s | looking to shut somebody down with this |
28159s | pulse there's quite a bit of damage |
28160s | there from mizuyaki |
28162s | now they're aware of property's position |
28163s | nano goes forward out on the step |
28166s | no overclock yet using the transcendence |
28168s | both support ultimates burned into the |
28170s | fight here but as the rally expires the |
28172s | pilot on top of the legion go on the man |
28173s | to find that elimination overclock pop |
28175s | by lift we'll find one |
28177s | takes the head off looks for more |
28180s | some damage through onto collusion now |
28182s | let's loose with that self-destruct goes |
28184s | it up into the air but actually explodes |
28186s | just behind this castle walls so it's |
28188s | not able to catch anybody doesn't manage |
28190s | to make it back into the neck safely |
28191s | however |
28192s | a chance for a re-contest plena on the |
28194s | hunt nothing |
28196s | though he might even die to his own |
28200s | makes it easy |
28201s | rail to the head flutter out of the |
28203s | fight cart still being brought forward |
28205s | by legion caught but now the high ground |
28207s | is taken by the side of the shot he's a |
28208s | yaki he's left on the drive no one there |
28210s | to peel for him gets taken down to quick |
28213s | cleanups here a lot of the supports the |
28214s | dragons once more back into the squadron |
28217s | and that was nearly disastrous from the |
28219s | san francisco shock as well but what you |
28220s | do see is the self-destruct from college |
28223s | actually buys time for both college and |
28225s | proper to regroup with the rest of the |
28227s | team usually the self-destructs are not |
28228s | particularly useful in this particular |
28230s | matter you'll use them to reset your |
28231s | mech that's a situation where dragons |
28233s | were probably gonna look for the cleanup |
28234s | on the last two members but they can't |
28236s | get the kills because of the deeper bomb |
28237s | oh man |
28238s | it's just getting bullied right now |
28240s | doesn't manage to survive but the lip |
28242s | cannot say the same |
28245s | and another kill another |
28248s | slow up |
28249s | spade |
28250s | keeping the cart locked by the bridge |
28252s | resetting the rollback timer |
28255s | everybody else is just getting picked |
28256s | apart izzy i can take it down probably |
28258s | with a sliver of hp still holding on |
28261s | pin cleans up flat out it'll slip |
28264s | loosely take off |
28266s | again |
28266s | does the damage okay yeah they see that |
28268s | they see that they are going to be there |
28269s | in time yeah |
28271s | just in time it looks like feedback |
28272s | stuff i think fake should have committed |
28274s | there's a real small window that would |
28275s | maybe if they just said a little bit |
28277s | longer but you'll get out with his life |
28278s | i think he does want to value the fact |
28280s | that he has a flank going for him i |
28282s | wanted to mark him you see that violence |
28284s | even maybe looking behind proper could |
28285s | be chasing but they don't want to over |
28287s | chase this one they want to focus on the |
28289s | front lines here |
28290s | fake doing a lot of work though to keep |
28292s | dragons in final fight churchill 30 |
28293s | seconds remaining couple ultimates there |
28295s | for the dragons but real it is about |
28297s | fade if he can maybe find a way to flank |
28299s | 30 seconds i mean he's just trying to |
28301s | keep him busy he's buying attention he's |
28303s | pulling the shots back towards the point |
28304s | b finish rather than forward where they |
28307s | can try to cut down the approaching |
28308s | members of the shanghai dragons say i'm |
28310s | still looking to do that though as they |
28311s | take on the shield just fractured ball |
28314s | low and he dies lit will find finn |
28316s | before he can use the trance |
28318s | just trying to keep everybody else alive |
28319s | now in the fight |
28320s | six seconds remaining the touch still |
28322s | needed to come through to force at the |
28324s | overtime someone's going to go for it |
28325s | flutter low on hp makes his way forward |
28328s | gets it ot forced |
28330s | they're finding an opening kill colluge |
28332s | down a half but holds on |
28334s | actually he's going to open up within |
28335s | the rail will manage to take one down |
28336s | but lip has got nowhere to go ends up |
28338s | getting dropped fate |
28340s | limited by the pulse bomb as well |
28342s | transcendence now to keep everybody else |
28343s | pinned here to the cart finn just |
28345s | ushering them forward keeping this |
28347s | contested they want to end it right here |
28348s | right now and have a win condition under |
28350s | their belt |
28352s | rather than give them access to the |
28353s | castle itself is a yaki eliminating |
28355s | there's an explosion of death comes back |
28357s | on the doom cleans up too and there you |
28360s | have it shanghai dragons cannot make it |
28362s | to |
28365s | be just like the damage there i mean the |
28367s | biggest thing that we see is the fact |
28369s | that self-destruct once again is able to |
28370s | buy space |
28372s | no remake for college lift will get that |
28375s | mid-air rail shot however because lip |
28377s | had nowhere to run the self-destruct |
28379s | kills him what we even see there towards |
28380s | the end is lip actually had an overclock |
28383s | so had lip stayed alive or if he didn't |
28386s | die to the self-destruct which at this |
28387s | stage didn't really look possible right |
28389s | like he was dead to rights given the |
28390s | angle and trajectory of that diva bomb |
28393s | that could have been a different fight |
28394s | for the shanghai dragons you had the |
28395s | legion rally popped as well but the |
28397s | damage was not available only fleta |
28400s | could really get more damage in san |
28402s | francisco shock buying time for closure |
28403s | return divided with a major double i |
28406s | think even maybe triple and teenage hit |
28408s | combined with colludes punching a couple |
28410s | members that it's instant death in the |
28411s | dragons did not have time to play any |
28413s | further it's all done |
28417s | i mean what a return |
28419s | instant punch pinned against the wall |
28423s | taken down fantastic return |
28428s | and a great swap you know already fine |
28430s | found value with the self-destruct and |
28433s | is able to go over to the doomfist and |
28435s | shut them down even further |
28439s | the shanghai dragons a bit of a struggle |
28441s | on that attack i mean i think the a |
28443s | eventually got there which is decent but |
28445s | that entire b offense seemed very shock |
28448s | favored |
28449s | proper made it difficult colludes while |
28451s | staying alive in the deep at a very |
28452s | critical moment in the middle |
28454s | of that uh offensive phase where you |
28456s | know again two of them are live proper |
28458s | on one hp but shanghai dragons cannot |
28460s | clean them up and if it wasn't for fate |
28462s | sort of back capping |
28464s | that may not have even been that much |
28466s | distance either |
28473s | dragons now |
28475s | all into the defense you have a strong |
28477s | performance |
28479s | but lip is taken down off the rim fin |
28481s | just catching him in the head |
28484s | great opening kill here shocking out |
28486s | very much feel comfortable posture |
28488s | as well discord is out of the hand but i |
28490s | believe it's gonna be proper who's |
28491s | chasing forward trying to get that kill |
28493s | legit gone |
28494s | he's trying to peel for him he ends up |
28496s | getting caught up in the crossfire balls |
28498s | that's the point capped five and a half |
28500s | minutes in the time bank his flight |
28502s | dives in the back end |
28503s | they can't find a damn thing the shock |
28506s | break through and there you see they're |
28507s | very much hungry for this |
28510s | i mean they might get to kill the lip |
28511s | again if that happens and that's just |
28512s | going to be a long stagger dragons would |
28514s | love to beat the regrowth properly but |
28516s | that certainly not going to happen with |
28517s | lip down twice fired opens that one up |
28519s | big though he lands a double bar on it |
28521s | which hits both lip and i believe it |
28522s | might have been legit gone at the |
28523s | beginning lip couldn't get healed up and |
28525s | then finn finds that kill |
28527s | pulse bomb now into easy action it just |
28529s | doesn't stop prophets pressure on the |
28531s | shanghai dragons is phenomenal this |
28532s | giving san francisco shockwave should be |
28534s | giving them free push they're actually |
28535s | on the payload at the moment that needs |
28536s | to change so finally pushing that |
28538s | payload up |
28540s | making it |
28541s | push forward but i mean it doesn't even |
28543s | matter honestly right now the way that |
28545s | this is going it feels like they could |
28546s | leave the payload there for three |
28547s | minutes and then just come back to it |
28548s | comfortably and be able to push time and |
28551s | time again the picks are just coming |
28552s | through and shanghai dragons just |
28554s | aren't playing together and they can't |
28556s | play individually versus this pressure |
28559s | they don't have memphis they're always |
28560s | down one they haven't been able to reset |
28562s | properly because plays like proper and |
28564s | you know finn collusion always in their |
28565s | face payload's been pushed onto the |
28566s | bridge now fake got slipped at it maybe |
28568s | dragons can actually get a fight go with |
28570s | five up |
28571s | what a falling glow nearly take it down |
28572s | by the maid there |
28574s | does have a pulse getting ready to come |
28576s | through builds it up there by shooting |
28577s | spin but izzy aki once more picked off |
28579s | the nano who's goes through tim finds |
28581s | the kill violence gonna be traded though |
28583s | look with a nice headshot trying to even |
28585s | it up but now lip is gone you have a |
28587s | clock as he searches for yet another |
28589s | target sees the recall whips the jump |
28590s | but in the meantime here's the card no |
28592s | one can contest fate down below half hp |
28595s | and it's just yeah there's just not |
28596s | going to be a touch |
28598s | there's just not going to be a touch |
28601s | too far away fate was still coming back |
28603s | from spawn he's yaki's too slow on the |
28604s | zen |
28606s | fledera was dead |
28607s | so not a single person could actually |
28609s | touch and that just comes through from |
28610s | excellent snowballing on the san |
28612s | francisco shock |
28613s | again credit divided for finding early |
28615s | bioneed connections on towards a that |
28618s | the shock will be able to get picks from |
28620s | finn as well getting some really good |
28622s | damage and they never let that pressure |
28624s | go the foot of the neck of the dragons |
28626s | the entire way through b which was the |
28628s | biggest struggle for the shanghai |
28629s | dragons now on both the offense and the |
28631s | defense you barely saw a fight from the |
28633s | dragons at all on b this now has to be a |
28636s | reverse sweep we were hoping that this |
28638s | one was going to be a banger spark and |
28639s | glads really showed what the top level |
28641s | gameplay could be but currently dragons |
28643s | are struggling |
28645s | uh i think struggling is is putting it |
28647s | lightly honestly i think you just need |
28649s | to go all in this is a visible look for |
28651s | them right now this is the dragons doing |
28653s | their best dynasty impersonation in this |
28655s | tournament |
28656s | they are not showing up in this matchup |
28658s | now again as i was saying before they |
28661s | are in a position where they have to |
28662s | reverse sweep they've been good for in |
28663s | the past but they have never looked this |
28665s | out of sorts |
28666s | work cut out for them we'll see if they |
28668s | can dig deep enough to get a map win on |
28670s | the board once more they will have their |
28671s | selection we'll see where they take us |
28672s | for escort when we come back for the |
28674s | break |

28932s | san francisco has cemented themselves as |

28938s | [Music] |
28940s | and the san francisco shock looking |
28942s | incredible just like our new legendary |
28944s | skin the royal night mercy on sale for a |
28947s | limited time so make sure you guys grab |
28948s | it while you can it's on sale |
28951s | until august 19th just 200 league tokens |
28954s | you earn it by watching the stream you |
28956s | should have enough pick it up while you |
28957s | still can |
28959s | anyway i think even better when as uh |
28962s | i'm pretty sure you know the winning |
28963s | team will get their own flavor of the |
28965s | skin as well which at the |
28967s | moment between shock and glad still in |
28970s | the upper bracket i mean shocked |
28971s | definitely leading the series |
28973s | it's |
28974s | the final moments here for dragons to |
28975s | try and pull something through they are |
28976s | going to make substitutions we're seeing |
28978s | void and baby come on in you're probably |
28979s | wondering what that's about we're going |
28981s | to an escort map circuit royale did tee |
28983s | this one up a little bit earlier in |
28985s | terms of |
28986s | a bit of a teaser for what we can expect |
28987s | moving forward this was |
28990s | an incredible map from the dragons |
28992s | versus the dallas field |
28993s | earlier on in this tournament lips do we |
28995s | make here void obviously here to play |
28997s | the segment baby an easy argument for |
29000s | the double flex support a comfortable |
29002s | matchup i think for a player like |
29004s | colluge on the shot because sigma is his |
29006s | best hero the big test now will be if |
29009s | kilo can match the water maker of lift |
29011s | now that happens |
29012s | the dragons are likely to topple because |
29016s | for the rest of it been invited been |
29017s | phenomenal proper as well well proper |
29019s | does as proper does right that's uh very |
29022s | standard stuff from proper the way he |
29023s | was carrying on that last map |
29026s | yeah i mean it's just been |
29028s | a perfect performance the whole way |
29030s | throughout from him and i mean widely |
29031s | from everybody on the side of the shock |
29033s | very little to ridicule at all |
29035s | the shanghai dragons just have the |
29037s | pressure mounting against them time and |
29039s | time again we'll see if the swap in here |
29041s | from bay bay and void is gonna be good |
29043s | enough for them to get the victory as we |
29045s | do get ready to go into circuit royale |
29046s | for escort but yep i mean it's |
29049s | everything to play for from here on out |
29050s | need that reverse sweep you cannot |
29052s | afford to |
29054s | you know fall off for even a moment |
29056s | because even while the dragons are |
29058s | driving the dam this the shock are just |
29059s | shutting them down time and time again |
29060s | so they need to level up and they need |
29062s | to maintain that performance the whole |
29064s | way throughout |
29066s | there would be a pretty comprehensive |
29067s | win for the shock as well if they can |
29069s | sort of defeat every |
29071s | version of the dragons what should say |
29073s | that okay we're going to an escort map |
29075s | the other players from dragons come on |
29077s | in and so if this isn't going to be a |
29080s | dragon's win well first of all they're |
29081s | definitely going to go down 0-03 but |
29083s | shock would certainly be cementing |
29084s | themselves on the top and we talked |
29086s | about the fact that this is a rookie |
29087s | versus veteran battle where |
29089s | you know |
29090s | you can look at the shock you can look |
29091s | at some of their previous match wins |
29093s | you're thinking you know why you know |
29094s | they're just kind of beating up on some |
29096s | of the lower n8 teams you know they're |
29098s | sort of winning against the i don't have |
29100s | to name them you can just look at the |
29101s | standards in a and just |
29102s | confirm for yourself who they've been |
29104s | beating but the point is now it's not |
29106s | just those teams that they're favored to |
29108s | be we're talking about |
29109s | the shanghai dragons here the champions |
29111s | of 2021 and shock coming through with an |
29114s | entirely new squad minus violet |
29117s | and currently 2-0 leading on match point |
29119s | i mean that's uh that's a big statement |
29122s | absolutely is now we'll get ready to |
29124s | jump into this map and see if it's all |
29127s | going to come to a very fast conclusion |
29129s | or if the shanghai dragons can in fact |
29131s | fight back because as you mentioned at |
29133s | the top of the show on top of this match |
29135s | rather shania dragons have not tried had |
29138s | not dropped maps |
29139s | up until this point and now they |
29142s | themselves are in threat of being swept |
29144s | which would just be |
29145s | i suppose poetic justice at the hands of |
29147s | the san francisco shock but very much |
29149s | disappointing |
29150s | for shanghai as well as just all of |
29153s | their fans and everybody who is hoping |
29155s | for a much closer series including |
29157s | ourselves |
29159s | i've been saying watch the piano of |
29161s | course we had uh some thin piano playing |
29164s | when |
29165s | when was it last time was it during the |
29167s | kickoff clash i believe |
29168s | [Music] |
29170s | and uh uber said beautiful when that |
29171s | happened shotgun here we go |
29176s | [Music] |
29180s | pretty good |
29181s | [Music] |
29184s | a nice finish i get a little scared |
29186s | though if it's too good we might get |
29187s | dmca so credit defender for at least |
29189s | just you know a little bit at the end a |
29190s | bit of |
29191s | freestyle just gonna start playing |
29193s | freebird on the piano something like |
29194s | that |
29195s | get us in trouble |
29198s | licensed music only |
29199s | [Music] |
29205s | he's doing a good job of it though |
29207s | but now with the timer ticking down |
29211s | swap over to the zenyatta as the gates |
29213s | open up kilo here with the widowmaker |
29215s | looking for a pop shot from blimp |
29219s | and this is going to be the lip platter |
29220s | special as well where flanna can also |
29222s | play the sergeant but the interesting |
29223s | thing is we look towards the sharp side |
29225s | that's also something proper does says |
29227s | time to be picking that one up |
29229s | early couple of uh shots coming through |
29231s | from kilo and let's actually see the |
29232s | differential in the uh what is it the |
29235s | ultimate charge there kilo has done the |
29237s | significant about more damage but no |
29239s | final blows obviously |
29241s | not yet |
29242s | a couple chest shots |
29244s | it's on the hunt though |
29248s | a little bit of a back and forth here |
29249s | between them the barrier are going to be |
29250s | broken down to the front lines is yucky |
29253s | that absolutely could have been yellow |
29255s | it's not a pop shot now but everyone's |
29256s | pulled back comfortably around the |
29258s | corner breaking line of sight but this |
29259s | is a good amount of space offered up for |
29262s | free by the shanghai dragons |
29264s | they know that they are in dire straits |
29266s | but lip he does manage to open things up |
29268s | with a nice head shot looks for a |
29269s | follow-up there but |
29271s | no proper sliding away keeps himself |
29273s | safe there it is once more and it's |
29275s | actually going to be proper he gets the |
29276s | connection |
29278s | yeah it has to be considered there |
29279s | because the problem has a headshot he |
29280s | can't actually dive at little play that |
29282s | spirit arranged it |
29284s | and uh proper won't be able to land that |
29285s | rail shot that leaks not to the head |
29287s | still got the pressure on the luge |
29289s | has taken down the immortality field |
29291s | which now both teams and gets to kill |
29292s | the baby it was just kind of trapped in |
29294s | the corner there flooded as well |
29296s | eliminated kilo this time getting some |
29298s | revenge that's point a broken open with |
29300s | relative ease |
29302s | now one kill from lips |
29304s | making it look a little bit decent |
29306s | providing some hope |
29308s | it all comes tumbling down maybe for now |
29311s | just sat inside of his body i think he's |
29312s | trying to stay quiet around the corner |
29314s | but here's the hunt |
29316s | and uh this is not gonna end well |
29318s | and that's a good that's a good read as |
29320s | well in terms of looking at the respawns |
29322s | understanding that baby probably got a |
29323s | bad spot in which he did and they'll be |
29326s | able to clean that one up lips response |
29327s | is going to give shanghai dragons the |
29329s | opportunity to maybe push on out if san |
29331s | francisco shock actually falls a |
29332s | dragon's alt here just for them to leave |
29334s | spawn that'll be huge currently free |
29336s | pushing payload and shock claiming a lot |
29339s | of foreground |
29344s | flux does come through but i don't know |
29346s | if boyd actually really caught too many |
29348s | people there maybe colluge by the way |
29350s | was set up he isn't a bad spot though |
29352s | boyd gets the accretion stun they get |
29354s | the punish |
29355s | they open it up just a little bit the |
29356s | cart still however steadily making its |
29359s | way around this final corner towards b |
29361s | the alts in the meantime he's getting |
29362s | banked up from this out of the shock |
29365s | and it looks like when dragons actually |
29367s | use their flux from boyd and push on out |
29369s | collusion cut off from his team the rest |
29370s | of shock had to back out and collude |
29372s | still very far forward and nowhere to go |
29374s | proper with the brittley sniper the lip |
29375s | can this be the push from dragons or |
29377s | rather from shock he's gonna look to |
29378s | make it happen and there it is proper |
29381s | look gets himself the 4k can he get the |
29384s | ac absolutely can |
29386s | what a shutdown and what a time bank |
29389s | five minutes plus here for the side of |
29391s | the san francisco shock at the final |
29392s | approach |
29394s | matt pick be damned oh hopper can not be |
29397s | stopped |
29398s | yeah he's still going nearly down take |
29401s | him |
29402s | was still happy about that though |
29404s | signature little smile plus the head |
29406s | wave tiny dance to the seat it's not |
29408s | going to pop off the way someone does |
29410s | but doesn't need to yeah it's got the |
29411s | pop-up in the game instead flutter going |
29413s | down tequila the swap now from proper |
29415s | onto the genji |
29417s | kilo could potentially look for another |
29419s | swap as well it is often that you see |
29421s | the widowmaker player actually swap off |
29422s | from the sea offense but oh that'll be |
29424s | proper going towards the genji first |
29425s | he'll be the dedicated car pushing out i |
29427s | mean given the shots that he's hitting |
29429s | right there i mean doesn't get the head |
29430s | shot on the lip but still |
29432s | chunks him out |
29433s | he might just be feeling it enough to |
29435s | stay |
29436s | on this pick |
29440s | blue just flux by the way |
29442s | no one see him |
29446s | respecting lip |
29448s | wise thing to do even if he has had the |
29450s | upper hand for the most part |
29453s | barrier out now gone kinetic grasp |
29456s | absorbing quite a bit |
29457s | boy dropped pretty hefty shield there |
29460s | yeah |
29461s | boyd does look to contest now as the |
29463s | card is so very close |
29465s | around the corner though hold it from |
29466s | here as the window comes through |
29469s | the knee based window |
29471s | he's dead the now picking him up |
29473s | in the corner is a he goes forward with |
29475s | the transcendence trying to keep |
29476s | everybody alive head shot there's a |
29478s | proper get slipped not sure if it wasn't |
29479s | effective just the shark is either way |
29481s | it's a massive breakthrough |
29483s | mortality field is out the cart once |
29485s | more pushing forward boyd gonna be taken |
29486s | down |
29487s | such a one-sided affair |
29490s | an absolute explosion at that the entire |
29492s | team evaporates |
29493s | three minutes and 19 seconds for the |
29495s | shock |
29496s | they are hungry for the 3-0 win |
29499s | yeah they look like they're about to get |
29501s | that one as well shanghai dragons have |
29503s | not really shown up on this defense or |
29505s | indeed maybe over this entire series so |
29507s | far only four final blows across that |
29508s | entire defense three of which came from |
29511s | lip |
29512s | initially the shanghai dragons when push |
29514s | comes to shove and we get towards the |
29516s | final moments there |
29518s | collusion proper pushing the payload |
29520s | along |
29521s | lip can't find that pick violet will |
29523s | drop down the amplification matrix to |
29525s | seal the deal and dragons do not have a |
29527s | response that one colludes flux that |
29529s | we've been waiting for the entire |
29530s | offense |
29532s | comes through in a pretty decisive |
29534s | manner and will allow the shark to |
29536s | completely clean up the shanghai dragons |
29538s | defense and get that kill and like you |
29540s | sort of mentioned while proper shutting |
29541s | down |
29542s | lift towards the end there flutter |
29543s | getting first flooded yeah there's just |
29544s | not a lot to say about the shanghai |
29546s | dragons in terms of that defense |
29548s | i just |
29550s | felt like they're not really even loaded |
29552s | up into the lobby right now |
29567s | the whiffy at the end is is actually i |
29570s | would say technically better for the san |
29571s | francisco shot because they're actually |
29572s | staggering izaki slightly it's not |
29574s | probably going to amount to anything |
29575s | that they can use but i'll take it |
29578s | there's uh no piano playing from the |
29580s | shanghai dragons here they've got to |
29581s | square up and get serious because they |
29583s | uh you know to say they're in dire |
29584s | straits would be an understatement |
29586s | flip has tried his best he's got some |
29587s | frags in there but it's not been enough |
29589s | to carry them |
29598s | slow and steady now |
29600s | on this push there's the shots complying |
29602s | with the widowmakers neither finding too |
29604s | many hits |
29607s | one shock also do you need to see |
29610s | you do need to see flint up kind of come |
29612s | into his own hair a little bit as well |
29613s | because he was very invisible on that |
29615s | defense yes no final blows half of |
29617s | prophet's damage |
29619s | in this range so look you might say |
29622s | maybe the side does matter while dragons |
29624s | are playing the other side now |
29625s | so no more excuses he has to show up |
29630s | boyd |
29630s | having a rough go of it there's one up |
29632s | okay there's one involved gets one |
29634s | proper take it down |
29635s | hug out behind the statue |
29638s | good kill try to open things up now he's |
29640s | sliding forward aggressively during the |
29641s | nape trying to cut off escape but kilo |
29643s | on the back of that gets the shot gets |
29645s | slipping the follow-up now looks for a |
29647s | little bit more |
29649s | and will be eliminated |
29650s | mortality field coming through the |
29652s | window as well built up rapidly by baby |
29654s | has him at the ready throws it down but |
29655s | kaloosh gets void |
29657s | push still going through but proper |
29659s | returns get to zayaki the shock you're |
29661s | gonna be able to hold this |
29663s | yeah |
29664s | decisively as well and that one |
29667s | hold here on a specifically let's take a |
29669s | look at kilo actually first and foremost |
29672s | really |
29674s | and then boom i mean barely a pixel a |
29676s | micro second there just to peek on |
29678s | through and find lip but knew the angle |
29680s | that he was playing at this is now |
29683s | dragons unable to match the 390. we |
29685s | probably didn't expect them to be able |
29686s | to match 319 anyway just very difficult |
29688s | to be able to match but that'll confirm |
29690s | it a single loss fight means that |
29691s | dragons now just play for any sort of |
29693s | map completion no longer fighting for |
29695s | 319. |
29698s | now looking trying to retake the card |
29700s | for themselves there's the flux to start |
29702s | void picking up violence drops them down |
29704s | immortality kill comes out hp bars |
29706s | however are still quite low but points |
29708s | is even lower and it's non-existent now |
29711s | the head shot comes in |
29713s | lift trying to jiggle around this statue |
29715s | to challenge |
29716s | it just can't do anything he's going to |
29718s | try to grapple away and he's still out |
29720s | in a dangerous spot proper takes |
29721s | advantage |
29722s | gets the kill and it's just such a wash |
29726s | that's the infrasight advantage i mean |
29728s | lip can't see kilo kilo sees everything |
29730s | including taking down void as well |
29733s | and there's a flux coming online for san |
29734s | francisco shock i mean forget about |
29736s | finishing the map dragon's just gonna |
29737s | focus on capping a cause this could be a |
29739s | disastrous full hold what's us for the |
29741s | dragons to be celebratory for the shock |
29743s | look at the ultimates three of them |
29744s | lighting up |
29747s | it'll be an ot push of nothing else |
29754s | overdrive at the ready the transcendence |
29756s | the flux everything to work with flutter |
29758s | popping his overclock |
29760s | looking for some targets flux there from |
29762s | colluge |
29763s | not gonna find any |
29765s | eliminations flutter |
29767s | same can be said |
29769s | no one playing close enough christian |
29770s | doesn't get the stun here |
29772s | he's continuing to play forward discord |
29774s | is out of me |
29777s | transcendence out of the clock that's |
29778s | going to expire violent getting stunned |
29780s | for a brief moment and stay alive proper |
29782s | get the head shot taking down lift pilot |
29784s | gonna be taken out as well now the |
29786s | overclock rolling seeking a target the |
29788s | barrier broken down |
29790s | shot goes through it's quite a bit of |
29791s | damage in can't finish the kill |
29794s | shanghai dragons will hold on by a |
29795s | thread they get the cap for 30 seconds |
29796s | remaining |
29798s | yeah so they have a slight window to |
29800s | play through now to |
29801s | give themselves an opportunity to push |
29803s | on towards c this has to be clean they |
29805s | have to get b as cleanly as shark got it |
29808s | and that's considering the fact that |
29809s | shark should actually technically lose a |
29811s | single fight when crews got caught out |
29812s | here so it wasn't a hundred percent |
29813s | clean but dragons they have to make up |
29815s | for lost time a lot of lost time |
29818s | i absolutely do |
29820s | i mean even coming up to flux even if |
29822s | they can just steady push through here |
29824s | uh you know matching the time bank |
29826s | it's not impossible for him by the way |
29829s | is okay |
29830s | that's actually huge |
29832s | emphasis now surely as they push through |
29834s | the final quarter that's the perfect |
29835s | timing for another site to be about now |
29837s | he hasn't gone for it but he nails the |
29838s | follow-up |
29840s | huge place from lift that's what they've |
29841s | been lacking |
29843s | now he finds it looks for violent |
29845s | catches |
29847s | he still doesn't even use the |
29848s | infrastructure he's just holding on to |
29849s | it |
29850s | boyd take it down his problem |
29852s | rejoins carte steadily advancing forward |
29854s | probably proper moves up |
29856s | let's keep this contestant for now kilo |
29859s | comes back |
29861s | mortality field use just to exit safely |
29863s | wrap back around with the rest of the |
29864s | team and the shock they're taking the |
29865s | fight to the dragons they're pushing |
29867s | forward shock stabilized dragons |
29869s | couldn't proceed i mean they had |
29871s | payload control they were looking for |
29873s | that cab but then they slowed down on |
29874s | the kills or rather i don't know i guess |
29876s | slowed down but the rest of the dragons |
29878s | watches back in on out gloosh now has |
29879s | flux advantage infrasight finally coming |
29881s | through kevin will be up to match a hot |
29883s | second there it is |
29884s | pops |
29886s | they see each other through the wall |
29887s | there |
29888s | now they're really swinging out kilo now |
29890s | taking a more aggressive position trying |
29892s | to put some shots down on the board pop |
29893s | shot |
29895s | blocked by the mirror |
29898s | there it is man can't just lift that |
29900s | rules the timing of the dragons dragons |
29902s | want a window there but now because they |
29903s | lose slip they have to reset they |
29905s | actually can't make this play happen |
29906s | they're just losing way too much time |
29908s | this is going to be another ot push |
29910s | potentially remaining even if they |
29912s | finish the point right now they would be |
29914s | starting with two and a half minutes |
29916s | 50 seconds shy of the shocks finishing |
29919s | time right now they're just going to be |
29921s | as soon as baby windows |
29922s | is going to hold |
29924s | the luge is going to counter the window |
29925s | straight away |
29926s | they might have the double support just |
29928s | to get through this and even that's not |
29929s | a guaranteed push whatsoever trying to |
29931s | push up onto the corner instantly met |
29933s | with some damage offers a bit back over |
29935s | towards proper just hugging in behind |
29936s | this pillar |
29938s | keeping himself safe there's the flux as |
29940s | the window comes through as you |
29941s | predicted the transcendence in response |
29943s | keeps them alive and now they need to |
29944s | win out the fight lifts gonna open |
29945s | things up against kilo once more the |
29948s | window fire |
29950s | back behind the corner violet caught mid |
29952s | jump lift once more comes up with three |
29954s | this time surely they can win out the |
29957s | fight and get the push completed |
29959s | the push forward pin going on the |
29961s | offensive but flat out will mention |
29963s | pitch tomorrow but with 10 seconds |
29964s | remaining the cap wannabe will be there |
29966s | but it's a minute and 35 seconds they |
29968s | start this final pushing kilo comes |
29970s | right back in and takes down flutter |
29972s | the only mistake there from the shock |
29974s | was that finn actually used the |
29975s | transcendence if he wanted to trance he |
29977s | needed to do that while violet was alive |
29979s | so they could play together they're |
29980s | probably going to go for the overclock |
29982s | to be fair they finally did die to a |
29983s | snipe so maybe the trains wouldn't have |
29984s | helped that much but neither case that |
29986s | ends up being one wasted ultimate still |
29989s | shock extremely favored to win this map |
29991s | considering the time left remember 30 |
29992s | seconds remaining for dragons when they |
29994s | kept a only 10 remains of the dragons on |
29996s | b and now about a minute left as they |
29998s | have to push through the entirety of c a |
30000s | very difficult position to push on |
30002s | through especially when they can't |
30003s | snowball due to the fact that kilo got |
30005s | an opening effect |
30007s | could have matching infras here in a |
30008s | moment it's kilos just 11 off so |
30011s | one two shots |
30013s | connecting and he'll have it ready to |
30017s | roll use his before kilo can get it |
30019s | available |
30020s | drops down |
30022s | looking for a target everyone widely |
30023s | just breaking these lines of sight and |
30025s | there it is |
30026s | seize one for just the moment of mine |
30027s | it's the mind taken down |
30030s | looks for him over at the stairwell |
30032s | can't get him is it for sight now |
30034s | expired kilo uses his own window out |
30036s | from violet |
30037s | his lip gets picked violet finding the |
30039s | kill |
30041s | barrier with not much hp point |
30043s | playing back not escape |
30045s | dragons are stuck in such a bad position |
30047s | proper looking to make his way forward |
30050s | they play into the room and as a yaki |
30052s | finds the upside kill spider-man finds |
30054s | the opening kill onto zayaki |
30056s | mortality kill does get cleared out |
30058s | here's the flux drops him down to the |
30059s | floor but proper immediately top back up |
30061s | boy taken down kilo out of the fight |
30063s | someone's gotta punch the cart and |
30064s | nobody can and there it is the san |
30067s | francisco shock |
30070s | they put their foot down they say okay |
30072s | you're coming into this series you |
30074s | haven't dropped the map yet we're gonna |
30075s | make you drop three consecutive they |
30078s | sweep |
30079s | the defending champions |
30082s | and move forward knocking the shanghai |
30084s | dragons down |
30087s | that seven match win streak now |
30090s | adds up to eight but i gotta say this |
30092s | eighth one |
30093s | this is the one that takes the sweetest |
30095s | take down the defending champions a full |
30097s | team of rookies and right on the end |
30100s | they had everything to play with |
30103s | kilo as well playing with the venom mine |
30105s | positioning i mean that is an exact spot |
30108s | that he knows that if he gets head shot |
30110s | it'll hit the venom mine and not his |
30111s | head so played that situation perfectly |
30114s | violet coming down the window getting |
30116s | the kill into the lip and that ends up |
30117s | being the beginning of the end |
30119s | catching shanghai dragons in the side |
30122s | room shanghai dragons had no escape they |
30123s | had to commit they can't reset no time |
30126s | remaining they had to use all their |
30127s | ultimates in shock were not perturbed |
30130s | perfectly played gotta see a flawless |
30132s | run through all three maps that was a |
30134s | brilliant |
30135s | bit of overwatch big play from the shock |
30137s | but really can't say the same for |
30138s | dragons disappointing in for them all |
30140s | right incredibly disappointing not |
30142s | showing up at really any point a couple |
30145s | moments obviously there on oasis did |
30147s | make that a two for one uh for the shock |
30150s | to be able to take it but then from |
30151s | there on out they found no purges no |
30154s | ground to stand on whatsoever the shock |
30157s | absolutely manhandled them at every |
30160s | twist and turn and from the outset while |
30162s | this was very much a team effort we saw |
30164s | a hell of a lot of great plays from kilo |
30166s | but from the outset the guy who really |
30168s | was just lighting up the kill feed time |
30170s | and time again is our player of the |
30171s | match and it's proper |
30174s | who else could it be i mean i think |
30176s | everyone did show up in some cases but |
30177s | this guy just farms mvp awards he farms |
30180s | play of the matches he |
30182s | really just gets all the attention for |
30184s | all the right reasons it's hard to not |
30186s | just give proper all the compliments and |
30189s | i mean look at this |
30191s | so many situations where shanghai |
30193s | dragons would love to get some players |
30195s | going they'd love to be able to do |
30196s | anything here but proper shuts them down |
30198s | this ace plus one towards the end i mean |
30201s | proper is just even egoing the shanghai |
30203s | dragons on this particular map on the |
30204s | golf fence and he can because he knows |
30206s | he's dominating he knows he's got the |
30208s | shanghai dragons tightly in his iron |
30210s | grip |
30211s | and proper is coming in fresh as a |
30213s | rookie but i think deservedly so is the |
30215s | most hyped rookie that we've ever had |
30218s | and he's living up to that hype and then |
30219s | some |
30221s | oh absolutely i mean |
30223s | an impeccable performance from him |
30224s | whether it was on the tracer on the |
30225s | sojourn just incredible but this was |
30228s | again i you know if not for his hard |
30231s | carry performance that we were seeing |
30232s | you know on oasis and whatnot i think |
30234s | that you could kind of throw a dart at |
30235s | the dartboard and no matter which member |
30237s | of the shock you hit you kind of could |
30238s | make a solid argument for him everybody |
30241s | played to absolute perfection |
30244s | um |
30245s | and it's just |
30246s | so rough to see this is not the series |
30248s | that we |
30249s | were anticipating that we wanted we |
30251s | sometimes throw around the term |
30253s | entertainment thieves usually for when a |
30255s | team just uh you know doesn't do well at |
30257s | all the shanghai dragons they robbed us |
30259s | of what could have been a fantastic |
30261s | match what could have been the best |
30263s | series of overwatch that we've had so |
30264s | far in 2022 they didn't show up in this |
30266s | one and uh it doesn't look anywhere near |
30269s | close |
30270s | yeah and then this is kind of reminding |
30272s | me of the the early 006 shanghai dragons |
30275s | at the beginning of the mid-season |
30276s | madness qualifiers where they couldn't |
30278s | really sort of find their footing yet um |
30280s | and they did seem to be able to i don't |
30282s | know get a grasp on the meta and start |
30284s | to come on through and improve you know |
30285s | things around shanghai were improving |
30287s | for them logistically as well uh but |
30289s | coming into this one you know didn't |
30290s | drop a single map shot came through can |
30292s | entirely sweep them and i did say as |
30293s | well if shark actually beat them on |
30295s | circuit royale then they have |
30296s | comprehensively beat them because they |
30298s | beat every single different look from |
30299s | the shanghai dragons and it's not even |
30301s | just the substitutions but we had the |
30302s | question that wouldn't make a part as |
30303s | well kakilo outsniped lip he ends up |
30306s | doing that pretty impressive uh proper |
30308s | absolutely outplay flitter there that |
30310s | was not the best that was absolutely not |
30312s | the best we've ever seen plato uh had an |
30314s | entirely invisible defense zero final |
30316s | blows half of proper damage it's uh |
30319s | baffling i think for the shanghai |
30320s | dragons and you know they are probably |
30324s | at least glad they have another life to |
30325s | try and figure it out but it's going to |
30326s | need to be a majorly quick turnaround |
30328s | they go to the lower bracket now and uh |
30331s | they go up against i guess the atlanta |
30333s | reign is it so that'll be a fun rematch |
30335s | for them but we are guaranteed a shock |
30337s | versus glads in a upper break final |
30339s | which means at least one in a team is |
30342s | gonna make the grand final yeah i mean n |
30344s | a right now putting up great figures |
30346s | saying you know what we are the superior |
30347s | region and right now they're able to put |
30349s | their money where their mouth is there's |
30350s | still a chance for that lower bracket |
30352s | run to come through but |
30353s | uh it just doesn't get very easy for the |
30355s | apac fans at all because you also have |
30357s | to watch two impact teams clash against |
30359s | each other one of them's gonna be going |
30361s | home so they have to eliminate |
30362s | themselves we'll see what happens of |
30364s | course as the action continues tomorrow |
30366s | that does it for myself and avril but of |
30368s | course we will have the desk breaking |
30370s | down everything that occurred today and |
30371s | setting the stage for some more matches |
30374s | coming up tomorrow so make sure you guys |
30375s | stay tuned for that |
30395s | hey |

30640s | francisco shock for the post match |
30642s | interview fit finn congratulations on |
30644s | the win that was a clean 3-0 victory for |
30647s | the san francisco shock uh did you |
30649s | honestly believe that this was going to |
30651s | be such a |
30653s | one-sided affair |
30660s | but |
30667s | [Music] |
30691s | all right i mean i did actually expect |
30693s | this to be a very very easy win for the |
30695s | san francisco shock um i it was |
30697s | unfortunate that we gave them a round uh |
30699s | on the first map uh we could have gotten |
30701s | it we could have ended this match way uh |
30703s | way earlier than that um aside from that |
30705s | um i remember i don't remember if it was |
30707s | a san francisco shock last year that |
30709s | picked shanghai dragons or if it was the |
30711s | other way around but i just remember uh |
30713s | before going into the mess that uh our |
30715s | head coach krusty was very angry at the |
30717s | shanghai dragon so before going into the |
30719s | match uh we as a team told krusty that |
30722s | we will get that revenge and that's how |
30724s | it went down all right uh looking |
30726s | forward i mean based on how you guys |
30727s | played today um you guys are going to be |
30730s | going up against the los angeles |
30732s | gladiators uh is there anyone from the |
30734s | gladiators that you are sort of worried |
30736s | about for tomorrow's match |
30764s | because you know he's pretty good as |
30765s | well but i'm not too worried because we |
30767s | also have someone that's pretty good |
30769s | it's proper so i think we're going to be |
30771s | pretty strong as well all right finn |

30836s | uh guys we went into today saying that |
30839s | this was going to be the banger of all |
30842s | bingerist matches and it was a clean 3-0 |
30845s | sweep and finn even saying oh yeah i |
30848s | feel bad that we even gave him a point |
30849s | because i felt like we could have ended |
30850s | this a whole lot earlier |
30852s | yeah honestly that's just i don't know |
30854s | if the west is just bleeding into all |
30857s | these players but the west is really |
30858s | toxic these days and honestly i get |
30860s | behind it and when you play a match like |
30862s | this can you really blame them this was |
30865s | just straight up not close shanghai get |
30867s | this first point here on oasis but from |
30870s | there it was just the san francisco |
30872s | shock show they just it just didn't feel |
30874s | like the dragons had an answer to the |
30876s | double flex support of finn violet and |
30878s | then that just allows proper to move |
30880s | around the map sam came in to play that |
30882s | sergeant dominated kilo came in also |
30885s | dominated it just |
30887s | i don't know it felt like the shanghai |
30888s | dragons and the issues that they were |
30890s | having earlier in this stage really came |
30892s | to fruition here as they start to play |
30894s | against better teams yeah i think the |
30895s | tank flexibility of the shanghai dragons |
30897s | is proving to be quite the problem and i |
30899s | think i think the san francisco shock if |
30901s | i had to guess their game plan was to |
30903s | bring out the diva early with kalooz of |
30905s | course because they knew that fate he |
30907s | would be restricted to play the main |
30909s | tank calls you know winston wrecking |
30911s | ball he's not really a player you like |
30913s | to see on the doomfist or preferably the |
30915s | zarya into a diva of course because you |
30917s | can't you know shield yourself from the |
30919s | soil damage so i think the shanghai |
30921s | dragons they're once more suffering from |
30922s | this tank flexibility issues and when |
30925s | you have these very flexible teams from |
30926s | the west like the show like the |
30928s | gladiators because of a beautiful 5k by |
30930s | the way from proper but when you have |
30932s | those tank flexibility issues |
30934s | the elite teams are going to expose you |
30935s | and take advantage of that so it was a |
30937s | very strategic uh |
30939s | move from the shock and i mean it paid |
30941s | dividends here so i i also kind of want |
30943s | to like question some of the decisions |
30945s | by the shanghai dragons as well going |
30947s | under agavold that's a map the shock |
30948s | have not lost this stage and it has not |
30950s | been close like collusion on that diva |
30952s | has been a massive problem for every |
30954s | team and shanghai dragons just kind of |
30956s | walked into that one then they go over |
30958s | to circle royale yes |
30960s | they have lip and he has dominated some |
30962s | of the some of the west c or sorry the |
30964s | east teams playing that but you're going |
30965s | into double flex support you're playing |
30967s | into the zen baptiste that we have for |
30969s | the show yeah i mean i guess you're |
30970s | scared of rude because kalush is going |
30972s | to play deeb on the route 662 and then |
30973s | like dorado dorado maybe um |
30976s | you know |
30978s | yeah either way hopefully this sweep is |
30980s | a wake-up call for the dragons as they |
30982s | drop into the lower bracket and we'll be |
30983s | able to take a look at the bracket in |
30985s | just a bit but first we've got to talk |
30987s | about best of the day let's do it so |
30990s | many clips this was a day filled with |
30992s | you know |
30993s | multiple map 5 games but i'm going to |
30996s | bring up mine first and this is actually |
30998s | probably my favorite defensive uh play |
31000s | of the day and honestly like it was a |
31002s | very aggressive opponent i know one that |
31005s | came in |
31006s | really strong and as you can see right |
31008s | here here is winston minding their own |
31010s | business trying to eat their bananas and |
31012s | peanut butter and just road hog tries to |
31014s | come in for the gank and here we see it |
31015s | in slow motion you see the extension uh |
31018s | almost like right in front of the miata |
31020s | kick yeah of sorts so really oh and then |
31023s | of course we have the coconut break and |
31026s | uh unfortunately uh you know this this |
31029s | offense was strong enough to break open |
31031s | that coconut |
31033s | but you know what was strong enough |
31035s | the shock sweep because we do have this |
31040s | and there is our flying uh you know |
31043s | little flag right there the lower third |
31044s | is covering it there you go oh there we |
31046s | go that was our prediction coconut oh it |
31048s | was always like that yeah exactly |
31051s | it knew that the shock was going to win |
31052s | i don't think it thought 3-0 but we |
31054s | always knew it was always written in the |
31056s | coconut yeah it took us seven hours to |
31058s | open that coconut that's coconuts |
31060s | but those were my plays uh custa how |
31062s | about you um i also had a very |
31064s | aggressive play but this was uh actually |
31066s | in the server this time mn3 uh i'm gonna |
31069s | go back to the philadelphia fusion map |
31071s | five banger just it's like it happened |
31073s | today you know sometimes you think back |
31075s | to it and the great moments that happen |
31076s | this is mn3 putting a exclamation point |
31079s | at the end of this series putting the |
31081s | florida mayhem away with just some great |
31084s | plays this was the one before that i |
31086s | thought they had won with but follower |
31088s | mayhem had the point flipped so m three |
31090s | just had to do it again comes in in 99 |
31093s | 99 gets a great pick on the xe stays |
31096s | alive |
31097s | dinks out uh checkmate with a double |
31099s | dink and it just it's just clean and you |
31102s | know i saw someone say this on twitter |
31104s | it's like it it gave me shades of carpet |
31107s | philadelphia fusion's cafe 28 i'm just |
31109s | throwing back to 2018 this year this |
31111s | show apparently but 2018 you know that's |
31113s | gotta be the winner also when i thought |
31114s | of my player days okay you get over it |
31116s | am i getting old johnny |
31118s | it's all right |
31120s | well you used to be a player |

31124s | that wow |
31126s | brutal |
31128s | uh move along anyway uh johnny you have |
31131s | a play |
31132s | yeah |
31134s | i was way more enthusiastic about this |
31136s | play before my predictions were proven |
31138s | wrong where alfayi was just an absolute |
31141s | chad and popped off in the server |
31144s | usually he did not trace of course but |
31146s | this echo play |
31147s | to dodge |
31149s | the pulse ball |
31151s | he gets stuck i like to believe here |
31153s | here he goes and then he duplicates in |
31156s | the frames i mean oh my god we we we |
31159s | need to go frame by frame here because i |
31161s | mean |
31164s | i haven't seen this stuff since the |
31165s | smash days yeah i mean there's like |
31167s | invisible frames |
31170s | you know it's unbelievable so i i just |
31172s | love that i mean the timing was |
31174s | impeccable really but you know then they |
31176s | went on to lose the match and everything |
31177s | but that moment was |
31179s | yeah and actually guys i think we have a |
31181s | bonus best of the day from our newest |

31214s | while we talked about overwatch all day |
31217s | so we created life |
31219s | well we created a narrative and that is |
31222s | just as impressive |
31225s | we were dressed up in one season |
31227s | absolutely well speaking of which we |
31229s | gotta know where the story goes so let's |
31231s | go ahead and pull up our brackets to see |
31233s | how everything has shaken up with all of |
31235s | the results that we've seen from today's |
31238s | game since we can see our friday match |
31241s | san francisco shock taking on the l.a |
31244s | gladiators wow white of california uh on |
31248s | for our upper bracket friday match and |
31250s | then looking at the losers bracket we do |
31253s | see shanghai dragons taking on atlanta |
31255s | reign and the hangzhou spark taking on |
31258s | philadelphia fusion and of course this |
31260s | isn't the order that they're being |
31261s | played in we'd have to look at the |
31262s | schedule for that so the first match |
31265s | that we're gonna see is the rain taking |
31266s | on the dragons then we're gonna see the |
31268s | rematch of fusion taking on spark then |
31271s | of course the la gladiators taking on |
31274s | the shock and then that is going to be |
31276s | our uh fourth and final game of a |
31278s | mystery of whoever loses i think no it's |
31281s | whoever wins i think it's the one |
31283s | or losers don't coin me on this but it's |
31285s | probably the winner of atlanta shanghai |
31287s | and philadelphia yes kids are the |
31289s | winners |
31291s | the colors threw me up i didn't know |
31292s | where we were anymore but yes that is |
31294s | our bracket and our schedule for the |
31296s | rest of the week uh does atlanta beat |
31298s | shanghai after that performance |
31301s | gentlemen we have an entire pre-show |
31303s | tomorrow where we can |
31306s | no spoilers there's plenty more coconuts |
31308s | to crack open and plenty more oh no i |
31310s | think we ran out of onesies our producer |
31312s | burned them as soon as he saw us we're |
31314s | the best i think oh it's very |
31316s | unfortunate but final thoughts before we |

31331s | over my preds really |
