975s | professional uh that went terribly so |

979s | you mean okay we have to explain for the |
981s | people who may not be following uh your |
984s | stream please i was interested in the |
986s | overwatch league i was interested in the |
988s | scene i'm like you know what it's been a |
989s | little bit since i've checked in and you |
991s | were gracious enough to put together a |
993s | powerpoint presentation for me i'm a |
995s | professional yeah about all of the teams |
997s | you stole graphics from some of your |
998s | co-workers and then yeah |
1000s | giving credits yeah no credits i just |
1003s | think the end result was a bit |
1004s | disappointing so i i think we're all |
1006s | bracing ourselves because you turned out |
1008s | to be a fusion fan so we're just oh oh |
1010s | we're gonna jump into that a little bit |
1013s | later there johnny because i don't |
1014s | understand you know what the um but |
1017s | we'll get into it a little bit later but |
1019s | yeah guys i'm super excited to be |
1020s | joining you uh for this overwatch league |
1022s | and especially uh for this week's |
1024s | tournament because i think it's going to |
1025s | be a lot of fun please be nice to me i |
1028s | will not be nice to them though i'm not |
1030s | going to be nice to you guys yeah we |
1032s | expect that you're not you're not very |
1034s | nice to me this whole time i feel like |
1035s | you're going to make fun of me and |
1037s | johnny and we're just going to |
1039s | everyone's going to laugh and point it |
1040s | out |
1042s | raise yourself it's fine i just love the |
1044s | fact that the way that i know both of |
1046s | you is because i know each of your |
1049s | fiances yeah that's the funniest part of |
1051s | all of this they didn't know me |
1053s | apparently yeah that's old me and i'm |
1054s | like who no oh oh you're they're fiance |
1058s | oh okay |
1059s | i know where we are now but regardless |
1061s | guys i'm very excited for this desk and |
1063s | hopefully everyone else is too because |
1066s | you're stuck with us for the mid-season |
1067s | madness tournament but we'll be bringing |
1069s | you the hype plays and hot takes all |
1071s | week long starting with arguably the |
1073s | most exciting part of the day |
1076s | the mid-season madness bracket let's go |
1079s | rock it let's go |
1082s | there we go we have all four of our |
1084s | matches on the screen today because |
1086s | we're kicking the week off with four |
1087s | games today to see who will move on to |
1089s | tomorrow's matches against our top four |
1092s | seated teams and who will drop into the |
1094s | losers bracket on day one so custa why |
1098s | don't you uh explain a little bit how |
1100s | today is going to go in terms of the |
1101s | bracket cause clearly we see that we are |
1103s | seeing eight of our teams participating |
1106s | today yeah they're going |
1108s | yeah so we have these eight teams |
1109s | playing today the winners of these |
1111s | matches will then be chosen |
1113s | by the four teams that you see on the |
1115s | tuesday brackets so they are the number |
1117s | four seeds they get a buy in the first |
1119s | round and then they will select the |
1120s | winners of those matches the losers of |
1122s | today's matches though they are not out |
1124s | there is a loser's bracket down there |
1126s | it's just a lot of matches so it's hard |
1127s | to show in a single graphic so they will |
1129s | go down to the losers bracket everyone |
1131s | has two chances in this tournament and |
1132s | we of course we're starting the day off |
1135s | with london spitfire taking on atlanta |
1137s | rain then we're gonna see the shanghai |
1139s | dragons take on okay well toronto defy |
1141s | and then we have of course two more |
1143s | matches after that now gentlemen i know |
1145s | that we are only on day one of the |
1148s | mid-season madness tournament because |
1150s | it's my first day i would like to start |
1153s | it off by wildly speculating as to who |
1155s | you have winning the entire thing of |
1157s | course yeah of course |
1160s | we haven't started shot so we're going |
1162s | to jump right into it to reinforce who |
1164s | do you got call your shot so okay here's |
1166s | how it is here so it is okay i i i |
1168s | approach this question and i thought |
1169s | it'd be super boring like how lame of a |
1171s | person could you be to pick a team like |
1173s | the l.a gladius so i went with the |
1175s | shanghai dragons for this one i think |
1176s | they're a bit of an underdog going into |
1178s | this tournament of course they won last |
1180s | year i know they won last year but they |
1182s | struggled so far this year um they |
1184s | figured out their tank issues going into |
1186s | this one they're playing the |
1187s | compositions that they did last year |
1189s | that israel like claimed to fame so you |
1191s | know they're like a you know band |
1192s | playing the old hits again on tour and |
1193s | you're like yeah finally you guys |
1195s | realize this is all you have to do and |
1197s | we'll be satisfied i avoid kevin of the |
1199s | sigma sometimes like here on circuit |
1201s | real for example but for the majority of |
1204s | the time they've chosen to have faith |
1206s | play the tank roll for them it just |
1208s | makes more sense when it comes to the |
1209s | shot calling for them playing these |
1211s | wrecking ball dive compositions isaiah |
1214s | here on the honor but he's playing a lot |
1216s | of zenyatta too so the shanghai dragons |
1218s | i really do think that they're a great |
1219s | pick to win this tournament because they |
1221s | found their strength and this is what |
1222s | they're sticking to they found their |
1224s | identity and they're leaning into it so |
1225s | many of these other teams around the |
1228s | entire league they're picking all these |
1230s | different kinds of compositions they're |
1231s | trying to outsmart their opponents |
1233s | outrageous themselves in many in many |
1235s | ways shanghai dragons they're pretty |
1236s | much only going to pay this throughout |
1238s | their tournament the entire tournament |
1239s | but they're fantastic at it they are so |
1241s | good at this composition and i think |
1243s | that strength will carry them through so |
1245s | many of these matches this week we're |
1247s | just gonna have to see if that's how |
1248s | it's gonna play out but johnny is |
1250s | dancing with the dan the dragons so |
1251s | custer who are you repping |
1253s | i'm going for the boring team according |
1255s | to johnny |
1257s | i'm going for the los angeles guys i |
1258s | don't know how apparently i'm the boring |
1261s | one when you chose the 2021 champs |
1265s | yeah but the gladiators that's because |
1267s | they're on the rise they're an exciting |
1268s | team to look at right now because they |
1270s | have been incredible throughout the |
1272s | entire season they only have two match |
1274s | losses throughout this entire season and |
1276s | that was the back-to-back reverse sweep |
1278s | two matches that they should have won |
1280s | against the dallas fuel and the san |
1281s | francisco shock so the gladiators since |
1284s | then they're on like a 10 match win |
1286s | streak something ridiculous right now |
1288s | and it is on the back of this kevster |
1290s | and rhino dive we know kevs that can |
1292s | play the genji tracer reiner can play |
1294s | the winston doomfist and just the |
1296s | coordination that they manage to have it |
1298s | is some of the best dive that we've seen |
1300s | throughout the entirety of the league |
1301s | and then you just look at their backline |
1303s | they have shoe and skewed they have the |
1305s | flexibility to play that double flex |
1307s | support but skewed can only go over to |
1309s | that brig if needed it's just really an |
1312s | exciting team and the gladiators are no |
1314s | longer the sadiators the big linchpin i |
1317s | think of this tournament is going to be |
1321s | paddy pan on this sojourn he is someone |
1323s | who has been inconsistent throughout the |
1324s | season but he has been incredibly |
1326s | dominant on this surgeon from time to |
1328s | time and he was i guess the kickoff |
1330s | clash standout for that team last time |
1332s | so will he step up in the land once |
1334s | again i'm sorry did you call them the |
1336s | zadiators the saudiators |
1339s | satiators yeah they're sorry okay |
1342s | i heard zaddy is that |
1344s | i heard the zadiators and i'm like you |
1346s | might be turning me from that team like |
1348s | hold on what's going on but explain what |
1350s | you were saying so yeah the gladiators |
1352s | have |
1353s | inherently always disappointed their |
1355s | fans this is the first time that they |
1356s | haven't been disappointing us time and |
1358s | time again so they are no longer the |
1360s | satiaters they are well and truly the |
1362s | gladiators and i hope they keep me glad |
1364s | throughout this moment all right i'm |
1365s | just i would like to right here on |
1367s | watchpoint coin the term zadiators |
1370s | though because i think that that should |
1371s | be their new social media some anime |
1373s | thing or something yeah i know you've |
1374s | never heard of zaddy no what's that no |
1376s | is it a veggie |
1378s | it's like a carrot squash kind of thing |
1379s | you know what |
1380s | let's talk about it later all right |
1383s | gentlemen both of your guesses were |
1385s | pretty good but also very very wrong |
1388s | because i'm calling it right now my |
1390s | first prediction ever on the watch point |
1392s | desk and saying that philadelphia fusion |
1394s | are going to be taking it all okay |
1396s | hear me out i may be completely and |
1398s | totally biased since i had a friend who |
1400s | is coaching uh the fusion for a little |
1403s | bit and he said if you don't cheer for |
1405s | my team i will not be your friend for |
1407s | all of eternity uh and then sounds like |
1410s | bias |
1411s | no not at all and then because you had |
1413s | told me that philadelphia fusion |
1415s | connected with t1 |
1418s | t1 has faker in the league of legends so |
1421s | you know i have to just assume that by |
1423s | association this is very different than |
1425s | this |
1426s | very different to pop off and then in |
1428s | addition to that joe marsh used to sign |
1430s | my paychecks |
1432s | and i want him to continue doing that so |
1434s | that's why i think that |
1436s | are going to be the ones who are going |
1437s | to take this entire tournament so you're |
1440s | on the payroll is what i'm hearing right |
1442s | now |
1443s | maybe i would like to stay on the |
1445s | payroll maybe i would like to see that |
1446s | payroll being increased or maybe i just |
1448s | have such a you know like a strong and |
1450s | passionate connection for the fusion |
1453s | fans i mean like |
1454s | tweet yeah and and the money but wait we |
1457s | so yeah we we should tell you about |
1459s | something about the philadelphia fusion |
1460s | this is how it is yeah uh they are |
1462s | they're great as you can tell they've |
1464s | made it very far a lot of times |
1466s | historically they have never won |
1468s | anything ever |
1470s | never never play in tournaments but you |
1472s | know playings don't really count one two |
1474s | three four that's six second place yeah |
1478s | yeah |
1479s | uh so you can you can it's it's i've |
1481s | heard it's really fun being a |
1482s | philadelphia fusion fans they're always |
1484s | really cheery on twitter and |
1486s | i think you'll fit right in they |
1488s | complain a lot about how their team is |
1490s | like just doesn't make it and they're |
1491s | like in a depression cycle so you sound |
1494s | like a roller coaster yeah you like |
1495s | really i like theme parks but you know |
1497s | what all that graphic showed me with |
1499s | those six second place victories |
1501s | is that they are due for a championship |
1504s | win so i am sticking with my guns it's |
1506s | gonna be the fusion first place |
1509s | fans hear me out we've got this okay |
1512s | now we all have our opinions as to who |
1514s | will leave this week the winner so i |
1516s | can't wait for this segment's check-in |
1518s | later this week when we recall our shots |
1522s | you see what i did there |
1524s | got a week of this |
1525s | you're stuck with me for the full week |
1527s | buckle in now we've got four great games |

1734s | fusion so i like the chat yeah you like |
1738s | chatting i like the chat oh i see |
1739s | pandering to the audience i like it |
1741s | you're gonna need it you need someone on |
1742s | your side when you're a philadelphia |
1744s | fusion fan you need someone to hold as |
1745s | you go you have an entire support system |
1747s | laid out yeah it's it's impressive yeah |
1749s | all right please keep feeding me all of |
1751s | these support links for the fusion in |
1752s | the chat guys because i'm gonna need it |
1754s | but we have got so many games to cover |
1756s | it today so why not kick off the day |
1758s | with a game for ourselves i'm gonna turn |
1761s | reinforce and custa against each other |
1762s | in a good old-fashioned face-off |
1767s | very intense |
1769s | now here is how it's going to work i'm |
1772s | going to assign each of you a side to a |
1774s | match-up and then you have 45 seconds to |
1777s | tell me why you think your team is going |
1779s | to win now when you hear the buzzer you |
1782s | better stop talking otherwise i'm going |
1784s | to curse all your future overwatch games |
1785s | so |
1787s | do we get to pick the teams no |
1788s | absolutely not i get to pick the teams |
1790s | i'm in charge here okay i wrote it in my |
1792s | contract must be able to play puppet |
1794s | maps i can do this for everyone i can do |
1796s | this i got this here you go okay then |
1798s | let's start off with houston vs florida |
1801s | now scott you've got houston let's put |
1802s | 45 seconds up on the clock and go okay |
1806s | the houston outlaws they have been an |
1808s | incredibly strong team throughout this |
1810s | season they have a double flex support |
1812s | meta i know i didn't start off very |
1814s | strong with that one but they have they |
1815s | have iris and lastro they finally have |
1817s | the proper meta in which they can |
1819s | utilize their pieces merit statistically |
1821s | is one of the best solutions that we |
1823s | have in this league and they have been |
1824s | leaning onto it they're going up against |
1826s | the florida mayhem xe is going to fall |
1828s | over in comparison to merit and then you |
1831s | have so many great things like the dante |
1833s | doomfist dante is going absolutely crazy |
1836s | they have the option to sub in piggy |
1837s | something that they did not have in the |
1839s | kirchhoff clash they are just a better |
1841s | team yes they've only ever won one |
1843s | playoff match as a franchise team but |
1845s | this is the time houston outlaws jake |
1847s | i'm looking at you i'm no longer in a |
1848s | bathroom i'm no longer anywhere i want |
1850s | you to pop off i want you to take this |
1852s | to the next level you can't lie to me |
1854s | you can't hurt me here i'm in a truck |
1856s | let's go houston |
1858s | [Music] |
1860s | it's time for you and i'm glad that you |
1862s | brought that up because i was about to |
1863s | ask you like did jake tell you all that |
1865s | no i know i didn't tell you about this |
1868s | just in my nightmares he lives rent-free |
1871s | playing a game of telephone like you |
1873s | walk into the bathrooms just jake is |
1875s | that you give me the stress |
1878s | that was pretty good but uh okay johnny |
1880s | you are about to do something that no |
1882s | one has ever done before |
1884s | defend florida 45 seconds up on the |
1887s | clock and ready set a go |
1890s | well first of all i don't have a |
1892s | bathroom story so i think i win by |
1894s | default |
1895s | like |
1896s | the florida mayhem they're actually like |
1898s | a respectable team in that regard they |
1900s | might be known as the florida mid-m |
1902s | because they can't actually beat any |
1904s | good teams but they also don't lose |
1906s | against any bad teams and you know |
1908s | houston outlaws houston above of course |
1911s | there's always used to them all so the |
1912s | florida mayhem they just have to show up |
1914s | and they're essentially going to win |
1915s | this match it doesn't even matter what |
1916s | they do they have someone he's an |
1918s | absolute chad in the tank roll the |
1920s | energy he brings he's going to turn up |
1922s | to the server and just dominate the |
1924s | opposition against the houston outlaws |
1926s | hydrant as well xc it doesn't matter who |
1928s | you sub in they're both really good |
1930s | soldiers so in that regard there's two |
1932s | against one okay meredith is one good |
1933s | soldier player in front of miami's two |
1935s | you can't play two at once though |
1938s | well now you don't have your time |
1939s | anymore but you know i'm sorry |
1942s | i can't speak when he's speaking you |
1943s | can't okay you know i mean you can if |
1945s | it's funny okay you'll allow it |
1950s | that's okay uh zero points awarded to |
1952s | you a million plus yeah one |
1955s | there wasn't a point system until five |
1956s | seconds ago but i've just introduced it |
1959s | johnny |
1960s | let's go |
1962s | now our next matchup is toronto versus |
1964s | shanghai now johnny you already called |
1966s | shanghai to win it all so why not give |
1968s | us your point again but this time make |
1970s | it louder and more aggressive like they |
1973s | do in those sports talk shows so 45 |
1975s | seconds up on the clock and go the |
1977s | shanghai dragons one of the best teams |
1980s | to have ever existed in the overwatch |
1982s | league fate on this wrecking ball you |
1984s | don't want to mess with him the way he |
1986s | rolls around the map controls all the |
1987s | surface area it's incredibly difficult |
1990s | for the opposition to even move okay |
1991s | they don't have any level whatsoever |
1993s | okay you get claustrophobic when you |
1995s | play against faith and it's wrecking |
1996s | ball because he's so damn good at it |
1998s | lift on the sodium as well we know that |
2000s | he was one of the best hitscan players |
2001s | in the entire world but he's turning up |
2003s | once more and he he might as well be the |
2004s | best soldier in the entire league it's |
2006s | unbelievable what this guy can do in the |
2008s | server and they're just going to tear |
2010s | the opposition to shreds mark my words |
2013s | flat as well |
2014s | not a reigning mep but he |
2016s | might be the reigning mvp the way it's |
2018s | been playing the last couple of seasons |
2019s | i'm telling you this damage line would |
2021s | fade as well and i haven't even spoken |
2023s | about the support line it's the best |
2024s | support line in the entire it is not the |
2027s | best what are we living in |
2031s | watching them this season you'll have |
2033s | you'll have your 45 seconds you'll have |
2034s | your 45 but johnny i just do want to say |
2036s | that |
2037s | you belong on tv like that was just |
2040s | excellent you think that you really have |
2041s | the voice for it but now i think that |
2044s | it's |
2044s | time to hear from custa now that i think |
2046s | about it i think that you actually have |
2047s | the perfect face for radio so let's go |
2049s | ahead 45 seconds on the clock for |
2051s | toronto and go |
2052s | why would you say that there was |
2054s | no noise |
2057s | they are a team that no one is really |
2059s | expecting to pop off they have no |
2061s | expectations heading into this but they |
2063s | are the definition of a team where the |
2065s | talent is there they have heisu he is |
2067s | one of the best hitscans that we've had |
2069s | over the last couple of seasons he is |
2070s | consistent the backline twilight who is |
2073s | a championship winner he is incredible |
2075s | he is one of the best animes that we |
2076s | have in the league even zenyatta that we |
2078s | know from the 2019 goats era they have |
2080s | churung standing next to him one of the |
2082s | best rookie main sports coming into the |
2084s | league and then muse is apparently |
2086s | statistically just one of the best |
2087s | doomfists that we have in this league |
2089s | he's been integrating some of the |
2090s | winston where he needs to from time to |
2092s | time and i just think they're going to |
2094s | be stronger team and you can never count |
2096s | them up yes they're going up against the |
2097s | shanghai dragons yes they're great but |
2099s | johnny's hyping them up saying that |
2100s | they're the best franchise of all time |
2102s | they went 0 and 40 in the past season |
2104s | and that is true even i heard about that |
2107s | everyone loves a good comeback yeah but |
2109s | if the comebacks are over they've |
2110s | already won once you've heard the word |
2112s | come back a bowl before right yeah no |
2115s | that's not a wood c come back no |
2116s | winnable |
2117s | no comebackable combatable that's not |
2119s | come back that's not a word it is a word |
2121s | it's not a word it's a word and it |
2123s | exists within esports because if you see |
2124s | a game and it looks like oh no it's |
2126s | winnable it's okay it's combatable no |
2128s | it's winnable |
2133s | we'll take a look after but uh next up |
2136s | is a match that we've already seen time |
2138s | and time again before which makes it a |
2140s | great match to end on so scott do the |
2143s | fusion fanatics proud and tell us why |
2145s | philadelphia is going to beat hangzhou |
2147s | 45 seconds |
2149s | go i'm getting only some opium right |
2151s | here mn3 just put in one of the best in |
2153s | the individual performances that we've |
2155s | ever seen on hitscan on that ash he has |
2157s | been dominant at it and he is going to |
2159s | dominate the hong joe spark in this |
2161s | match and on top of that they have zest |
2163s | someone who is a rookie of the year |
2165s | canada just off of how good his genji |
2167s | and his tracer has been bellis rio on |
2169s | those dive heroes has been good yes they |
2171s | have not had a great stage yes they have |
2173s | not been living up to the expectations |
2174s | that we had from the beginning of the |
2176s | season but they always show up in the |
2178s | playoffs you know we just looked at a |
2180s | graphic of a lot of seconds you know |
2181s | what is great about coming second that |
2183s | means you dominated everyone else to get |
2185s | there so i think the philadelphia fusion |
2187s | is a team that will always show up to |
2189s | the playoffs will they win probably not |
2190s | they're going to come second again but |
2192s | at least they're going to win this match |
2193s | against the spock |
2195s | all right i'll i'll allow it you know i |
2197s | was even going to give you an extra 45 |
2199s | seconds there you beat out the buzzer um |
2202s | they're not going to come in second |
2203s | they're going to come in first can i get |
2204s | a million and one points for that just |
2205s | so i'm ahead i forgot we were doing |
2206s | points yeah sure you get a million haha |
2209s | we have to hear from johnny first |
2210s | although i don't know how you're going |
2212s | to combat that because that seems pretty |
2213s | flawless to me but go on go why do you |
2216s | think hong kong's going to win 45 |
2217s | seconds |
2218s | so as someone who's new |
2220s | to the scene overall what if i told you |
2224s | that hangzhou spark is the philadelphia |
2226s | fusion but better |
2231s | but better okay |
2233s | look they they have a pretty similar |
2235s | like match record so far this year |
2237s | they've gone head to head against each |
2238s | other many different times we're not |
2240s | going to talk about who's the better of |
2241s | these two teams when i go head-to-head |
2243s | against each other but overall i do |
2245s | think that the hangzhou spark still is |
2246s | the better team of the two i mean shai |
2249s | yeah he's an incredible uh hit game |
2251s | player and also he cosplays so i don't |
2253s | know if that's bonus but |
2255s | yeah well uh it's like anime things |
2258s | or something i i don't know i don't know |
2261s | weeb stuff i don't know |
2262s | but they have lots of great other |
2264s | players and just in time for this they |
2266s | started utilizing all their players |
2267s | custom the hanger sparks they're using |
2269s | all their players this is a great style |
2270s | can i just follow up that question you |
2272s | know |
2273s | you know when he said they're better |
2274s | than philadelphia fusion how did hong ko |
2276s | spark do in the kickoff class shauni |
2279s | did they win a map i think if they |
2281s | didn't win which is the same as the |
2283s | fusion so fusion was there at the end |
2285s | coming second yet again but they were |
2288s | there |
2289s | all right no the producer is in my ear |
2292s | saying okay crazy lady let's move along |
2294s | so i think that's what we kind of have |
2295s | to do right now but it was a lot of fun |
2297s | and i can't wait to see chat and social |
2299s | media tear you two up over your opinions |
2301s | because i sure know that i will now for |
2303s | everyone at home we're just minutes away |
2305s | from the start of atlanta versus london |
2307s | so don't go anywhere |
2319s | [Music] |
2332s | [Music] |
2348s | let's go |
2358s | [Music] |
2360s | so |
2370s | [Music] |
2391s | [Music] |
2402s | let's go |
2418s | [Music] |
2461s | me |
2469s | me |
2473s | [Music] |
2478s | [Music] |
2492s | welcome back to watchpoint we're about |
2493s | to start our first match of the day |
2495s | where the london spitfire are taking on |
2497s | the atlanta reign now this first match |
2499s | of the day should be a banger and a |
2501s | brawler so reinforce london has defined |
2505s | the reinhart role in the 2022 season so |
2507s | what else do they need to do to improve |
2509s | well they have to utilize that |
2510s | composition because they are so |
2512s | extremely good at it but now when you've |
2514s | qualified for the mid-season manners |
2517s | you're playing some of the best teams in |
2518s | the league and they know what you're |
2519s | going to play so you're not going to |
2521s | have like the strategic upper hand with |
2523s | the element of surprise if we take a |
2525s | look at the hero usage stats so far in |
2527s | the mid-season matters qualifiers forty |
2529s | five point nine percent reinhardt's |
2531s | usually not gonna walk |
2533s | look at the bottom reinhardt usage |
2535s | league average is 5.9 so they're using |
2537s | it 40 more than other teams on average |
2541s | they love this dude all right but it can |
2544s | only like go get you so far it's very |
2546s | hard to counter the rhino composition |
2548s | you have to be extremely good at you |
2550s | know taking all these different kind of |
2551s | angles poking them down out rotating |
2553s | them but if you take a look at some of |
2556s | sparker's soldier and stats as well i |
2558s | mean he's been lights out at that hero |
2560s | so the long spitfire in my opinion they |
2561s | have to pick and choose really of course |
2564s | you can play the sojourn with the |
2565s | reinhardt as well if you'd like to do |
2566s | that but i think that the long spitfire |
2568s | they're going to have to pick their |
2569s | moments when they want to bring out the |
2570s | reinhardt this tournament because |
2571s | they're just simply going to get like |
2573s | overrun they're going to get poked out |
2574s | against some of the better teams in my |
2575s | opinion |
2576s | but it's something you can lean on on |
2578s | maps where it really caters to your |
2579s | advantage on midtown kingstrom for |
2581s | example but those kind of maps link |
2583s | tower right those are maps you can |
2584s | really bring out the reinhardt and gain |
2586s | an edge and it's going to be hard to |
2587s | counter but if you have to play like |
2589s | route 66 i mean just |
2591s | lean on sparker sojourn instead because |
2594s | i think they've proven so far at this |
2595s | stage that they actually can play some |
2597s | of these other compositions like the |
2599s | sigma composition for example they can |
2600s | force some of these dive compositions if |
2602s | they want to at a reasonable level so |
2605s | the longest spits fire more than any |
2607s | other team in this tournament in my |
2608s | opinion they're going to have to |
2610s | choose very wisely whether they want to |
2613s | commit to rhino compositions on certain |
2614s | maps or other more dive compositions on |
2617s | other maps and i heard atlanta has a |
2619s | good sojourn on the other side as well |
2621s | i've heard of a player called the kai |
2623s | guy so custa who is the key for this |
2626s | atlanta rain squad kai is a great |
2628s | surgeon but i don't think he is the key |
2630s | to the success for the atlanta reign in |
2632s | this tournament i actually think it's |
2633s | going to come down to hawke their coach |
2635s | brad has come out on social media and |
2636s | said they don't want to use gator for |
2638s | heroes like winston or reinhardt if they |
2640s | don't want to they want to use the |
2642s | flexibility of hawke and just how |
2644s | talented of a player he is and just |
2646s | utilize that so he has more synergy with |
2648s | the rest of the team this is his hero |
2650s | usage of tanks in the uh monthly melee |
2652s | not monthly melee the mid season madness |
2654s | tournament qualifier so far he's played |
2656s | a lot of doomfist the hero that we know |
2658s | he is very good at but he has that sigma |
2660s | in his back pocket but he's even been |
2662s | playing a little bit of this winston |
2663s | reinhardt and wrecking ball and i think |
2664s | for the london spitfire if you do want |
2667s | to win you need to get him onto those |
2669s | heroes you need to get him onto the |
2670s | things that he's not comfortable with if |
2672s | they can end up in this reinhardt |
2673s | miranda spitfire that's best case |
2676s | scenario for them so i think atlanta |
2678s | reign has that flexibility but it is not |
2680s | their strength that was a disrespectful |
2682s | shadow underdove they're right there but |
2684s | hawks are time to play excited to see |
2685s | more from them atlanta reign has been an |
2687s | inconsistent team so far this season |
2689s | which one of them is gonna show up in |
2690s | this tournament |
2691s | all right guys well after hearing from |
2693s | both of you on both of these sides of |
2694s | the team there's only one more thing to |
2696s | do let's pull up the prediction let's go |
2699s | here we go let's get into it who do you |
2700s | think are going to be the winners for |
2703s | today let's go ahead and take a look and |
2705s | of course we have zoe here okay in |
2707s | london all right london i see how it is |
2710s | johnny went for spock |
2713s | i did go for spark yeah you're off the |
2715s | group look i i i proclaimed my uh my |
2719s | allegiance with the hanging of spark for |
2720s | this season and i'm going to commit to |
2722s | that i think they're a fantastic team |
2724s | let's just wait to see the android sport |
2726s | actually winning and then we'll be all |
2727s | happy it's never happened so we'll see |
2729s | yeah it seems like we're in agreement |
2730s | everywhere else except for uh london |
2732s | spitfire you win london no you went |
2734s | london i went london but i'm staying |
2736s | right there you went london is it |
2738s | question mark well london is like the |
2740s | dark horse they're the popular team but |
2742s | are they actually going to win this |
2743s | match |
2744s | probably not but they did win the last |
2746s | time these two teams face so you could |
2748s | be right i'll tell you something |
2750s | my buddy robin used to be the manager |
2752s | for the spitfire |
2754s | wow that doesn't change anything and he |
2756s | invited me to barbecue at his house the |
2759s | other day so i'm going spitfire |
2763s | i told you full week of this but guys |
2767s | please don't go right straight into this |
2768s | please don't be right about yourself |
2770s | straight into this game watch the watch |
2772s | the prediction come out on top it's |
2773s | gonna happen but guys there's only one |
2774s | way to find out who is going to be |
2776s | victorious with these predictions right |
2777s | now and that's to jump into the game so |
2779s | the mid-season madness tournament starts |
2782s | right now |
2795s | [Music] |

2867s | absolutely wonderful we'll be bringing |
2869s | you guys the first two match-ups here of |
2871s | the day starting off with the london |
2873s | spitfire going up against the atlanta |
2875s | reign yeah you didn't think i'd skip out |
2876s | of the mid-season madness did you look |
2878s | i'm all geared up for hawaii this is my |
2880s | best hawaiian shirt or close enough that |
2881s | i can handle over here first time ever |
2883s | casting north american teams it's |
2885s | exciting for me i've been watching these |
2886s | teams from far for so long finally |
2888s | getting stuck into it here opening match |
2890s | of the entire tournament here our first |
2892s | ever global tournament said it's going |
2894s | to be atlanta rain versus london |
2895s | spitfire i think this is one of the |
2897s | developing north american rivalries from |
2899s | this year that it's just so cool to |
2900s | watch |
2902s | yeah it absolutely is but can't wait to |
2904s | get it i love how we we actually didn't |
2905s | even talk about what we were going to be |
2907s | wearing we just ended up kind of |
2908s | coordinating this uh just on the hive |
2911s | i'm going |
2912s | i'm going to guam next week and i was |
2914s | just like you know what i'm in a mindset |
2915s | to go to guam so i threw this shirt on |
2917s | and i'm like oh yeah oh what i like |
2919s | below you you've got to cut you know the |
2921s | pine tree leave kind of thing going i |
2922s | got the flower right above me fitting |
2924s | with my aesthetics you know we're all |
2926s | good we're all set it's all part of the |
2927s | thing we also have we also have the blue |
2929s | and the red so i'm spitfire and you're |
2931s | atlanta rain yeah i'm on the wrong side |
2933s | here we gotta swap around but other than |
2935s | that we're good we're good |
2937s | all right well this just worked out |
2938s | beautifully and in more ways than one |
2940s | and none of it was planned whatsoever i |
2941s | promise you that chat but |
2943s | yeah it's gonna be uh a very interesting |
2946s | series we'll see uh who we have for |
2948s | either side as well as we go ahead and |
2950s | take a look at our starting rosters to |
2952s | get into that so we can get into the |
2954s | action we'll be taking a look at the |
2955s | atlanta rain to kick things off |
2957s | yep atlanta rain uh last time they faced |
2960s | the london spitfire it did not go well |
2962s | for them but honestly this team still |
2964s | goes from strength to strength backed up |
2966s | by what i think is still you know on the |
2968s | eye test probably the best sojourn in |
2969s | the entire league here had some words |
2972s | from sephie their head coach brad as |
2973s | well saying that they've mostly put all |
2975s | their effort into hawk now in the tank |
2977s | position so we're less likely to see |
2978s | gator in f at all that was one thing |
2980s | that i had a little bit of christmas |
2982s | about their last bout with london being |
2984s | that it didn't seem like they were very |
2985s | prepared to face london on that mutual |
2988s | like sort of ryan match-up right this |
2989s | time around i think they're a lot more |
2991s | practice they've been playing hawk on |
2992s | the right as well hopefully if we do see |
2993s | that ryan match it'll be a good one |
2998s | yeah for sure i mean they've been saying |
2999s | you know a lot of stock being put into |
3001s | hawk wants to be you know kind of the |
3003s | the centerpiece of this team moving |
3004s | forward so we'll see how that does look |
3006s | if that matchup does come to fruition |
3008s | and we can only hope we can only keep |
3009s | our fingers crossed that it indeed does |
3012s | i'll have to just wait and see though |
3014s | and also see you know what the map said |
3015s | is going to be looking like whether or |
3016s | not it's really going to lend to that |
3018s | ryan comp style i think kind of |
3019s | regardless we can expect that the london |
3021s | spitfire are going to do their damnedest |
3022s | to make sure that they are uh running it |
3024s | no matter what they seem to be able to |
3026s | kind of fit that square peg into the |
3028s | round hole when it does come down to it |
3029s | they're just too damn good at the rush |
3030s | composition but you are starting spy for |
3033s | the side of the london spitfire almost |
3035s | said starting six |
3036s | pass anyway well they got more plays |
3038s | they got more players yeah they do they |
3041s | do obviously you know we have seen poco |
3043s | coming from time to time as well but |
3044s | this is going to be the starting five |
3045s | we've got backbone not boned back but |
3047s | we'll be in the dps lineup well that's |
3049s | the thing right i want to touch up on |
3050s | that that's i think one of the key |
3052s | conversations i have about this team is |
3053s | that when backbone goes to the flex |
3055s | support it's more than likely that you |
3057s | are seeing the dive right they're |
3057s | bringing shacks to play the tracer |
3059s | hearty goes to the winston backbone |
3061s | places in that's one of their key looks |
3062s | that they've been showing i think it's |
3063s | important for the london spitfire |
3065s | because early on especially the kickoff |
3066s | clash they were kind of like a ryan one |
3068s | trick team and that's you know fair |
3070s | criticism didn't look like a flexible |
3072s | kind of team roster at all christopher |
3074s | though it's kind of developed them into |
3075s | a much more flexible team now that we're |
3077s | seeing a lot more of the dive coming |
3078s | through that's not just looking at the |
3080s | ryan and you know they've been kind of |
3082s | match up against the dallas fuel even on |
3083s | that it's also that's been super |
3085s | impressive but it does also lead to the |
3087s | fact that i think the read on their |
3088s | roster and what they bring to the table |
3090s | is a little bit predictable like i sort |
3091s | of mentioned earlier shaq's coming in |
3093s | backbone got his end you know exactly |
3094s | what they're gonna play |
3097s | yep so it does kind of have that just |
3099s | translucent aspect i suppose as to what |
3101s | the playbook includes but again this is |
3104s | a team that has shown time and time |
3105s | again that they are just so darn good at |
3107s | what they like to play that even when |
3109s | you know what's coming it can be |
3111s | difficult to deal with we'll see if the |
3113s | atlanta rain are up to the task as we |
3115s | take a look at our map set it's gonna be |
3116s | liang tower selected by the london |
3118s | spitfires they do come into this as the |
3120s | higher seeded team and then we'll have |
3123s | the loser select from there on out as we |
3124s | make our way through the bracket |
3128s | and lee jung talon makes a lot of sense |
3129s | as the selected map here for the london |
3131s | spitfire given that i think of the |
3133s | control map pool this was the |
3134s | friendliest one for ryan rush i mean |
3137s | we've had comments from dp the head |
3138s | coach of vancouver titans saying as much |
3139s | as well um |
3141s | but i mean |
3143s | a very strong opening they certainly |
3144s | aren't going to be picking illios i |
3145s | think if we go to five maps if we go |
3147s | anywhere in that sort of territory |
3148s | atlanta will be wanting to take us more |
3150s | towards those less ryan friendly maps |
3152s | really test out to see how good hard is |
3154s | when cerrito gets how good the rest of |
3155s | london spitfire's dive can really be |
3159s | it's the all time atlanta having the |
3160s | upper hand what attempts does come down |
3162s | to these control maps so we'll see how |
3163s | they fare |
3165s | right here at the start of the middle |
3167s | season madness tournament let's go ahead |
3169s | and dive into the action for now hawk |
3172s | jumping forward takes the teleporter is |
3174s | going to be out there on that doomfist |
3175s | barker going to be on the sombra |
3178s | no surprises here i mean i think you do |
3179s | want to be playing something like a |
3180s | doofus on this map but does also play |
3182s | directly into hardy's reinhardt being a |
3184s | very good matchup for hawk something |
3186s | hawk is extremely practical but playing |
3187s | this all the way since the start of the |
3189s | entire season |
3191s | we'll have to see how uh eventually this |
3193s | sort of dive goes for atlanta right |
3194s | because they're also playing the genji |
3196s | version which is a pretty reasonable |
3197s | match up into hardy as well |
3199s | oh the pin out of nowhere hottie |
3201s | always manages to kind of weave these |
3203s | ones through kai gets caught up ends up |
3204s | going down hottie gonna be out of fire |
3206s | this corridor gets shifted over to |
3207s | sparker audi still going to be hovering |
3209s | at about half hp with london spitfire |
3210s | make their way onto the point to stop |
3212s | the contest from going through on the |
3213s | side of the land to rain the wall comes |
3215s | up they wrap around the side they find |
3216s | out g-hawk goes down but nero managing |
3218s | to trade one back got rid of the |
3219s | immortality field as well to boot but |
3221s | now has to try to run out of here the |
3222s | flight comes up just in time to keep |
3224s | himself safe can exit and grab that |
3226s | health pack but it is going to be the |
3227s | london spitfire gaining control the |
3228s | point first and foremost i gotta say |
3230s | hardy's consistency on these long-range |
3232s | pins is unbelievable he keeps finding |
3234s | stuff like this just opening kills it's |
3235s | almost like he's playing a slow doomfist |
3237s | but he's able to land these one punch |
3239s | one punch hits all the time just you |
3241s | know |
3242s | tons of damage onto a player like kai |
3244s | you get the hat coming through a |
3245s | sparkling hawk as well that's the other |
3246s | adaptation that london do make because |
3248s | as much as say that london can't be |
3249s | predictable you can also predict what |
3251s | lantern gonna rain uh run they're gonna |
3252s | have the doom for south so they want to |
3254s | have the option to hack their doom away |
3257s | already a good opening kill as og goes |
3259s | down land and finding that |
3260s | frag there getting rid of the enemy |
3262s | zenyatta for they're gonna be slowing up |
3264s | nice ice block their front backbone |
3265s | takes a bit of damage pops at one |
3268s | itchy trigger finger keeps himself safe |
3269s | the cleanup comes through as kai goes |
3271s | down once more that's gonna be really |
3272s | delaying |
3274s | this buildup here on the overclock nano |
3275s | actually committed to the fight here as |
3276s | hawk is trying to stay alive window |
3278s | comes out it's gonna be a little bit |
3279s | wonky still enough on an angle to try to |
3280s | play through but now the blade is gonna |
3281s | be pulled out by nero and he instantly |
3283s | evaporates landon cuts them down to size |
3285s | hottie gonna be antsy down here for the |
3287s | moment this cordova goes forward onto |
3288s | the rhine but he is perfectly fine the |
3290s | kills continue to fly through london's |
3292s | been fight spitfire win out the fight |
3294s | it's great targeting from the london |
3295s | spitfire right they're constantly out of |
3296s | five versus four advantage it just seems |
3298s | like atlanta reign can't be the ones to |
3300s | find the opening frag losing og at the |
3301s | top of it is going to be really damaging |
3303s | to atlanta's reigns ability to get in on |
3305s | that fight and then beyond that as well |
3307s | you see the nano come out from uv onto |
3308s | hawk to save him you're not going to |
3310s | find this nano blade but even if you |
3311s | hand the nano blade even with the blade |
3313s | come through narrow instantly shut down |
3314s | by this kind of defensive listen and now |
3316s | the earth shatter coming through they |
3318s | just want to get a solo kill that's |
3319s | enough |
3320s | it's just bullying it's absolutely |
3322s | bullying they shatter him they put him |
3324s | to death after the hat comes through |
3325s | hawk just not a damn thing he could have |
3327s | done in that situation |
3329s | goes down now the emp gonna be pulled |
3330s | through og louisiana the shielding is a |
3332s | quick and easy target sparker finds the |
3334s | elimination now sound barrier going to |
3335s | be used as they take the fight further |
3337s | touch them aggressively forward here |
3339s | towards the side of the rain and as you |
3340s | say that should be this round of lee |
3342s | zhang done and dusted no one can touch |
3344s | the point as hawk goes straight back in |
3347s | doesn't get an opportunity to try to use |
3349s | a meteor strike and it's 100 to zero |
3351s | kickoff here for the spitfire and |
3352s | speaking of untouchable kelly ocea guess |
3354s | what there have been only a single death |
3357s | on the london spitfire side hardy died i |
3359s | think in the opening fight and that's it |
3361s | nobody else in the entire london |
3363s | spitfire roster here in that opening |
3365s | league young night market actually went |
3367s | down backbone sparker admiral landon |
3370s | deathless on night market and they had |
3372s | the pacing behind them they had |
3374s | everything behind them in terms of |
3375s | snowballing the ultimates they want |
3376s | every single fight playing to rank |
3377s | consistently down four versus five at |
3378s | the start of these fights and you look |
3380s | at players like hardy he knows that he |
3381s | has a massive advantage of the earth |
3382s | shutter comes through that's one of the |
3383s | quirks about this kind of rhyme versus |
3385s | doing that job is when the shadow is |
3387s | there it's always going to be a free |
3388s | shatter reign are going to try and i |
3391s | would guess sort of counter this one |
3392s | with a fire look it is backed up by |
3394s | mercy that's actually a little bit |
3395s | strange because when we see fire in the |
3396s | apac especially on this map typically |
3398s | you don't play the mercy with anymore |
3399s | you just play the zen so we'll see how |
3401s | that works on the ground now where uv is |
3402s | the only literal support for the rest of |
3404s | the players |
3406s | yeah only a couple times it feels like |
3408s | we have seen the mercy coming through |
3410s | backbone gonna be slept but you see |
3411s | hottie just rotating over keeps them |
3413s | covered making sure that they cannot get |
3414s | an elimination on him he does go into |
3415s | the ice block a little bit earlier on |
3417s | there but they'll be able to exit to |
3419s | safety here as here continue to try to |
3421s | weave around the side the hat comes in |
3422s | they're looking for the elimination and |
3423s | sparker is going to find it oh gee |
3426s | as he had to retreat seems like the |
3428s | answer is going to be yes because no res |
3429s | to be found sleep out onto hottie just |
3431s | around the corner but he's gonna be |
3432s | woken back up |
3434s | got his beauty sleep through and hawk |
3435s | gets taken down by admiral in the |
3437s | meantime in london spitfire will once |
3438s | more lock down the point first and |
3439s | foremost yeah you need to see a lot more |
3441s | damage coming through from narrow but at |
3442s | fault she a brilliant hack to come |
3444s | through from spark of the manual even |
3445s | one second kilios seems to be enough to |
3448s | take down this fire once that's your |
3450s | player numbers uh shifts again we have |
3452s | another 5v4 in favor of london they play |
3454s | that situation perfectly and don't lose |
3456s | anybody for that they have the opening |
3458s | cap again and they're very steadily |
3459s | building up towards the first ultimates |
3463s | good direct hit there on the landing but |
3464s | unable to find the follow-up he tucks |
3466s | inside |
3467s | keeps himself safe yet again a hack |
3469s | gonna be dropping near down to the |
3470s | ground i mean good snipe hi headshot |
3472s | backbone just sending out that right |
3474s | click finds the elimination and it's the |
3475s | supports bullying hawk this time it's |
3478s | landon coming up with the elimination |
3479s | and as the doomfist once more goes down |
3482s | 37 percent |
3483s | the side of the spitfire and reign are |
3484s | struggling to find a way in and this is |
3486s | going to damage their dive opportunities |
3487s | as well because now you can't really get |
3489s | this tracer combo with hawke hall kind |
3491s | of just ends up having to go in by |
3492s | himself now it's about to be available |
3494s | but the timing ends up all being off |
3495s | because rain wanted to go for rocket |
3497s | brush with two players going down they |
3499s | can't make a play anymore so what to |
3500s | look for |
3501s | though okay yep |
3503s | quickly there's the immortality feels |
3504s | going to be cleared up near with the |
3505s | barrage able to find landon at the end |
3508s | well still alive still holds on to that |
3509s | sound barrier sure he decided to use it |
3511s | in the meantime backbone comes up with |
3512s | the eliminations hawking ultraviolet |
3513s | both gonna be taken down and now the |
3515s | beat is dropped admiral shielding up the |
3517s | rest of the squad backbone just pulling |
3518s | away just dodging out of these shots |
3520s | throws at the wall tries to keep himself |
3522s | protected no iceland nowhere to go so |
3523s | nero will be able to pick him off in the |
3524s | end as you say the ice block just coming |
3527s | off cool down at the very end i do |
3528s | believe nero instantly however gonna be |
3530s | hacked as the turnaround comes through |
3531s | as the pharmacy duo gets taken down out |
3533s | of the sky |
3534s | hawk three arriving manages to jump back |
3537s | across the opposite side of the gap as |
3538s | he looks for a follow-up pack here with |
3540s | him chunk down to about half hp hawk has |
3542s | to time this out slowly |
3544s | place is so available this is a really |
3546s | difficult situation it's still a free |
3547s | shadow there's nothing to block in the |
3548s | shadows and when all goes in he's not |
3550s | going to be able to use his meter strike |
3551s | putting personal hardy is absolutely |
3552s | correct they need to get hiding down and |
3554s | that's the one key player that can swing |
3555s | this |
3558s | his way into the back of the point the |
3560s | blizzard comes through just look at this |
3561s | on the mall but it doesn't occupy the |
3562s | entire space so they still can continue |
3563s | to try to get this one contested animal |
3565s | riding up into the skies right click |
3567s | kill finds zero takes him down |
3570s | at the ready i do believe but just not |
3572s | quite saving up there for og also got |
3574s | hacked out there's gonna be the dragon |
3575s | strike thrown through and finally the |
3576s | atlanta raid will get a taste of |
3578s | pointage here in lijiang tower they |
3580s | managed to get the cap coming in hawk |
3582s | gonna be pinned over into the wall the |
3583s | fire strike not gonna be able to kill |
3584s | and now hottie the question is has he |
3586s | overstepped the barrage gonna be thrown |
3587s | in he sends the fire strike up towards |
3589s | the far up but his attention is being |
3591s | twisted and turned to too many sides he |
3592s | ends up going down parker back in the |
3594s | meantime throws a kill out on takai and |
3597s | that's gonna be the point flip here back |
3598s | in favor of the london spitfires hottie |
3600s | looks like still going back over ot |
3602s | starting to bleed away as it does |
3603s | continue onward the nano boost comes |
3605s | online throws it out instantly onto |
3606s | hawking nero nearly survives pulling |
3608s | back out of the window kill however it |
3610s | does manage to come through in the end |
3611s | sparker finding it but hawk turning to |
3613s | the side gets rid of backbone takes down |
3615s | that pesky tracer that's gonna be a lot |
3616s | of the delay tactics now taken away from |
3618s | the side of the london spitfires parker |
3620s | however once more doesn't manage to find |
3622s | cover has been cleared out that's the |
3624s | foot there for the side of the atlanta |
3625s | right hawk gonna be stunned up he |
3626s | continues to go lower and lower all the |
3628s | heels being pumped now into that |
3629s | doomfist he manages to stay alive now |
3631s | yeah they're going to go for a strike |
3632s | online for the beat gets dropped the emp |
3633s | goes through |
3634s | both gonna be taken down the fire strike |
3636s | the follow-up one vermont he finds og |
3639s | the flip is back in the hands of the |
3640s | side of the london spitfire and that |
3642s | should be the closeout kai returning |
3644s | will find sparker gets them with the |
3646s | rail but admiral will once more get his |
3647s | hands dirty and there it is a 2-0 |
3651s | closeout from the london spitfire hottie |
3653s | drops the c9 in the chat i disagree with |
3655s | that one sir but |
3657s | i can congratulate you on the map win |
3659s | all the same look at this stage i think |
3661s | both teams just going to spam cena no |
3663s | matter what the game state is it is what |
3664s | it is that we see here in this kind of |
3666s | inner rivalry but london spitfire my |
3668s | goodness that last fight lasted forever |
3670s | hardy literally dies twice respawns |
3673s | twice they still use ultimates to try |
3675s | and keep it going that one flip they had |
3676s | for london spitfire really made it a big |
3678s | difference towards ending because it put |
3680s | the pressure back on the atlanta reign |
3682s | after the raid had used everything and |
3683s | then london spitfire started to come |
3684s | back into their own arms ultimates i |
3686s | like the sound barrier i like the emp to |
3688s | close things out as well and uh special |
3690s | mention going out to admiral here who |
3692s | will finish the entire map deathless the |
3693s | only player that did not die at all not |
3696s | a single death on all the legion |
3699s | golf collapser admiral a very wonderful |
3701s | performance from him and the london |
3703s | spitfire in general fantastic way to |
3705s | kick things off so they get the victory |
3707s | there on their pick of lijang tower |
3709s | atlanta rain though we'll get to answer |
3711s | back we'll see what map they have |
3712s | selected for us when we return from the |
3714s | break so don't go anywhere guys |
3715s | mid-season madness continues in just a |
3717s | few |
3728s | [Music] |
3760s | do |
3761s | [Music] |
3787s | so |
3789s | [Music] |
3796s | [Applause] |
3797s | [Music] |
3800s | so |
3804s | [Music] |
3816s | do |
3818s | [Music] |
3950s | and i just realized that i was muted so |
3952s | there we go but welcome back ladies |
3955s | and gentlemen welcome to achilles |
3956s | everyone not so |
3957s | not so flawless for me in the end of it |
3959s | all the time |
3961s | tower |
3962s | win for the side of the london spitfire |
3963s | tell you what look it's been early days |
3965s | okay it's we've been up since like four |
3967s | in the morning i'll tell you i am now |
3970s | cut me some slack on the muting i i got |
3972s | you bro i got you sparkle just hacked |
3973s | you as all you were silenced for a |
3974s | second we understand but apparently for |
3976s | the london spitfire it's enough to get |
3978s | kills right and let's take a look at the |
3980s | manual screens here what got in the |
3981s | replay there was a adam raw sound |
3983s | barrier that saves hardy and that |
3984s | enables him to get a couple of fire |
3986s | strike kills um something that really |
3988s | stands out is the fact that we look at |
3991s | night market the opening pin kill the |
3992s | kai stuff like that is so standard for |
3994s | hardy that you just don't see out of |
3996s | other place i don't know how he gets |
3998s | these insanely good sort of |
4000s | these these long range charge pin kills |
4003s | like realistic they just shouldn't |
4004s | happen but i guess on the overwatch 2 |
4005s | ryan hut we can steer the charge a |
4007s | little bit you can get a little bit more |
4009s | precision on those pins but the level |
4011s | precision that hardly brings the table |
4012s | is kind of just unmatched here as is the |
4014s | pacing for this entire ryan brawl |
4016s | composition we even saw a great example |
4018s | that on gardens where nero goes for the |
4020s | fire barrage right |
4022s | and then reigns uh london's response |
4024s | push to spawn push atlanta spawn trade |
4026s | backlines and just see what happens when |
4029s | you know |
4030s | okay they they will delete landon from |
4031s | us we're going to take their supports |
4032s | too and then fight it out and see how it |
4034s | goes after that and it ends up being |
4036s | that london gonna get a greater trade |
4038s | out from that situation the rain did |
4042s | oh let's see as we take a look here some |
4044s | substitutions coming through from the |
4046s | side of the land to rain venom gonna be |
4048s | stepping in |
4049s | see if the adjustments are gonna be good |
4051s | enough for the atlanta ready to be able |
4052s | to tie things up with their map pick as |
4054s | we get ready to move into hybrid is |
4056s | going to be iconvalda uh to see if they |
4059s | can make that happen of course we have |
4061s | backbone shifting over into that flex |
4063s | support |
4064s | pretty standard stuff i mean uh we're |
4066s | going to like where both a and b |
4068s | particularly b is a very dive centric |
4069s | map you need some high ground low ground |
4071s | mobility winston is going to be the |
4072s | ticket for both teams here or maybe hawk |
4074s | could actually stay on the doom that's a |
4075s | pretty viable pick as well but like i |
4078s | said in the pre-show here for london |
4079s | spitfire when you see sex come in |
4081s | backbone moves the support position you |
4082s | know exactly what you're about to get |
4085s | now the one thing about the atlanta |
4086s | reign is i think they kind of missed |
4088s | venom a little bit especially on gardens |
4090s | i'm not saying that venom should have |
4091s | played lee jung necessarily because |
4092s | there's more rounds on lee jung would |
4095s | you rather have narrower than you'd |
4096s | rather have venom but that one gardens |
4098s | met where you did see kai swap off from |
4099s | the tracer onto the hanzo was was kind |
4102s | of telling for me like man this is where |
4104s | you'd actually really want to trace it |
4105s | to pair with hawk comfortably but kai |
4107s | just felt like he wasn't getting enough |
4108s | done there sniped out by back bones may |
4111s | as well who i think is the best man in |
4112s | the world at this point uh but taking |
4114s | him off tonight forcing him onto the |
4115s | scene instead which is off roll is i |
4117s | think the way to go for your plan to |
4119s | rain because you are removing some of |
4120s | the strength away from the london |
4122s | spitfire and now we're getting into the |
4124s | rain's i think comfortable territory |
4126s | which is live |
4128s | yeah i i think it i think you'd be |
4130s | really hard-pressed to make an argument |
4131s | for anybody other than backbone when it |
4133s | comes down to make just just on the the |
4135s | whole point of you know just raw play |
4137s | time i know we were highlighting how |
4138s | much hottie plays ryan compared to the |
4141s | league overall you know he is so much uh |
4144s | play online where it's like five percent |
4145s | for the entire league but i mean |
4146s | backbone it's gonna be a similar thing |
4148s | if you take a look at the may stats |
4149s | obviously people like profit and whatnot |
4151s | have played it but have not looked |
4153s | anywhere near as good as this guy i |
4155s | think that the only person that could |
4156s | maybe give him a run for his money is if |
4158s | we could get libero to come back so |
4159s | libero uh wherever you are oscar please |
4161s | ross because somebody needs to take this |
4163s | guy down |
4164s | roscoe's mate was really good he's on |
4165s | the dallas currently as a coach but i |
4167s | mean hey you know rush just if you guys |
4169s | got to play some uh some may brawl you |
4171s | know the guy to put in i don't even |
4172s | think he's on a player contract but in |
4174s | any case |
4175s | speaking of ex-london no um |
4177s | the verbiage |
4180s | it is a good look for the london |
4182s | spitfire so far the the one concern is |
4184s | can they match the other teams on this |
4187s | winston dive because it seems like they |
4189s | are very committed to playing something |
4191s | like this if you paid attention to the |
4192s | dallas match from previous as well uh at |
4194s | the end of the mid-season madness |
4196s | qualifiers they actually opted to play |
4198s | the winston dive on king's row |
4201s | versus dallas field when that is i would |
4204s | say normally a pretty strong rhine map |
4206s | for a team like spitfire they actually |
4207s | opted to do that instead so they are |
4209s | attempting |
4210s | to utilize more of the winston dive |
4212s | instead um and i think if they can get a |
4215s | good grasp of that then they will |
4216s | finally be like a very good well-rounded |
4218s | team that can take a top take it to |
4220s | every single other top three because |
4221s | otherwise there will always be their one |
4223s | weakness i think ryan is great in the |
4225s | hands of hardy and the rhine composition |
4226s | is great in the hands of the london |
4227s | spitfire but you can't win an entire |
4229s | tournament you can't win an entire |
4232s | global tournament especially off the |
4234s | back of one composition so good to see |
4235s | that they are changing things up |
4238s | take a look at backbone here put him |
4240s | under the microscope a bit from that |
4242s | first map i mean yeah it was just a |
4244s | great performance twelve and two overall |
4246s | you're never gonna really feel too bad |
4248s | about that kd the man was putting in |
4249s | work he's landing his right clicks wall |
4251s | timings as well uh i think one of the |
4253s | hardest things that you can work on when |
4254s | it comes down to make is a lot of people |
4255s | can aim and get that timing down to hit |
4257s | those right-click head shots um but he |
4260s | really knows how to just really cut off |
4262s | the enemy team's rotations catch them |
4264s | out put them in a really rough position |
4266s | and then the whole team can move in and |
4267s | get the punish so that's something that |
4269s | takes a hell of a lot of work a hell of |
4270s | a lot of coordination and backbone with |
4272s | the rest of london spitfire he's got it |
4274s | in spades and i actually want to |
4275s | highlight another player here sparker um |
4277s | from reviewing london vods have been |
4279s | becoming more and more impressed with |
4280s | his sojourn play especially and i think |
4282s | one of the key matchups especially on |
4283s | this map is going to be kai vs now if |
4286s | you remember in the kick of clash one of |
4288s | the key matches was that soldier matchup |
4290s | between kai and spike and i did feel |
4292s | like when london beat rain one of the |
4294s | areas that they actually had over the |
4295s | reign was that sparker played a better |
4298s | soldier than kai which seems weird |
4299s | because kai is i think a top maybe the |
4301s | top western hit scan dps and in that |
4304s | particular match when when rain lost you |
4306s | makai was pissed he was visually pissed |
4308s | on the camera i can understand he felt |
4310s | like he probably did get outplayed a |
4311s | little bit maybe sparker you know did |
4313s | something that the rain weren't |
4315s | you know prepared for uh we're into more |
4317s | of kai's more of kai's meta because i |
4320s | think it is a v it is a very kind when |
4323s | you're playing the soldier but now we're |
4324s | on the sojourn i think a lot of people |
4326s | agree despite merit having i think the |
4327s | highest stats |
4329s | for a sojourn kai has been visually by |
4331s | the eye test the best social that we've |
4333s | seen sparker is catching up now i do |
4335s | think kai's been in this matchup but if |
4336s | sparker catches up again and has another |
4338s | great performance versus kai like he did |
4340s | in their last matchup kickoff clash |
4341s | that's going to be a problem for the |
4342s | atlanta ring |
4345s | oh almost certainly but yeah i mean |
4347s | even you know with all the praises |
4349s | talking about kylie you said sparkler is |
4351s | been has been catching up and there's |
4353s | not that much separating these two |
4355s | players right now as far as those |
4357s | figures are concerned playtime obviously |
4359s | something that you can't take into |
4360s | consideration uh when comparing the two |
4362s | but yeah sparker not that far behind so |
4364s | who knows if he is absolutely fired up |
4366s | today and it looks like the london |
4368s | spitfire are for the most part um then |
4371s | he absolutely can walk away having the |
4373s | upper hand and helping to bridge that |
4374s | gap even further to try and overcome kai |
4377s | and become known as the best sojourn at |
4379s | least in what we'll say in n.a well |
4381s | we'll see yeah because there's some |
4382s | really good sergeant place from the |
4383s | airport side that we are yet to see in |
4385s | so the test will be there for sure for |
4387s | the n18s but i also want to mention |
4389s | spark is a his um sombra from the last |
4392s | map as well while we sort of wait to get |
4394s | into the map here where |
4396s | you know part of me is like okay well |
4398s | sombra is not a great hero currently in |
4400s | the overwatch team better however the |
4402s | way that he was piling the sombra in |
4404s | that sort of composition that london |
4405s | were playing because as i sort of |
4406s | mentioned right |
4407s | as much to say london are predictable |
4409s | atlanta rain versus london that same |
4411s | sort of matchup it can also be |
4412s | predictable whether |
4413s | the the sombra can get a lot of work |
4414s | done you are hacking the doomfist from |
4416s | hawk which provably did have impact we |
4418s | saw hawk being able to uh not really be |
4420s | able to play his game at multiple times |
4422s | we need to get hector emp |
4423s | but more importantly the one second hack |
4425s | on nero's sparrows is humongous like |
4428s | that really swung everything because |
4430s | fire normally would be a pretty strong |
4432s | pick versus the side of london |
4433s | spitfire's raincop but uh not in that |
4436s | particular instance so we'll move to i |
4437s | can weld it as reminded as atlanta |
4439s | reigns pick they want to stay away from |
4441s | rhine based comps as much as possible |
4443s | and well we already know that london |
4445s | spitfire are probably not going to bring |
4446s | ryan here at all given their current |
4448s | starting lineup for this map so let's |
4450s | kick it off and see if there winston |
4452s | matches up to the dive of the atlanta |
4454s | right |
4457s | all right well let battle commence no |
4459s | take a little while longer but it's okay |
4461s | and you know make sure everybody's nice |
4463s | and comfy cozy in their seats here as |
4466s | they get set up there of course with the |
4468s | substitutions it can slow things up a |
4470s | little bit but it's okay guys you don't |
4472s | have to have to panic because i know |
4473s | there's probably a panic going on in the |
4474s | chat as there often is everything's fine |
4476s | we're getting into game now we can |
4478s | continue the action myself and evil can |
4480s | go back to yelling |
4481s | ready |
4482s | that's ultimately what we maybe a little |
4484s | from what we want a little bit more from |
4485s | you than me |
4487s | true i do most of my yelling through the |
4489s | keyboard if you know you know you're a |
4490s | little bit more sophisticated |
4494s | intelligent yells i try okay hawk on the |
4497s | doom expected probably end up be staying |
4499s | on that one |
4500s | double flexible for the london spitfire |
4502s | again expected |
4504s | so |
4505s | kai should be going for an opening uh |
4507s | water peak here and then copping |
4509s | straight back on towards the sojourn |
4511s | this composition these this kind of |
4513s | matchup i should rather say is going to |
4514s | come a lot down to that sort of opening |
4516s | pick potential from either your sergeant |
4518s | play between spyker and kai or your zen |
4520s | play between og and backbone two players |
4523s | kind of off rolling more so backbone |
4524s | than og oh geez uh he's still a support |
4526s | but usually a main support player been |
4528s | really impressed with his game to play |
4529s | as well |
4531s | all right well everybody denying sight |
4532s | lines anticipating that shot |
4536s | hang back swap will come through it's |
4538s | gonna be the sojourn here so overall |
4540s | could be fairly mirrored |
4542s | just gonna be the doomfist versus the |
4544s | winston as the key difference here |
4546s | sparker building up rail at the ready |
4548s | sends it out gets the tag there onto |
4550s | hawk |
4551s | under a little bit of fire pools back |
4552s | over here to the back but really |
4554s | aggressive taking quite a bit of damage |
4555s | there's the dive forward seismic slam |
4557s | getting a couple connections in is |
4558s | hottie to be hit with that |
4560s | orb managing to pull back the sleep is |
4562s | there ultraviolet though he gets woken |
4563s | up they can't find the elimination he's |
4565s | had a sliver of hp and shax will finally |
4567s | manage to get the finishing blow |
4568s | with the melee backbone as well gonna be |
4570s | sniping hawk down there's a recall to be |
4572s | burned there by venom is being tracked |
4575s | shax rather pushing forward trying to |
4576s | get a punishment looks like he will not |
4578s | be able to do so has to concede the |
4579s | fight but spitfire that win the opening |
4581s | volley shaq is the extremely tall |
4583s | basketball player which is not that one |
4584s | but london spitfire uh landon brilliant |
4587s | sleep dark connection on to ultraviolet |
4589s | who's already low from the rail shop via |
4591s | sparker cleaned up eventually but |
4593s | plan to reign off to uh early fight loss |
4596s | here like an opening ultimates it's |
4597s | going to be the anna nada boost |
4598s | available should go and party there it |
4600s | is |
4601s | yep there's the head shot on the |
4602s | backbone takes him down nana does go out |
4604s | onto hottie as you say in the meantime |
4606s | dashing and ducking around has this |
4608s | pulse bomb at the ready just waiting for |
4610s | an opportunity to invest that all trying |
4612s | to find a pick-off audio on the back |
4614s | that this wardrobe goes out is he going |
4615s | to go ahead and send it that's not done |
4617s | so yet health pack can be picked up |
4618s | looks for the stick unable to find it |
4620s | hardy going to be alive for a little bit |
4621s | longer at least for the dive comes |
4622s | through hawk getting |
4624s | in there managing to find that |
4625s | elimination here at the very end the |
4627s | rest of the london spitfire now trying |
4628s | to pull away as the tick starts coming |
4629s | through for the saturday land terrain |
4631s | already grabbing two if they're gonna |
4632s | contest this they're gonna have to do it |
4633s | rather soon meteor strike dropped in |
4635s | that's gonna be the elimination there on |
4636s | a sparkler but shax manages to come up |
4638s | with two ultra fighting pilot and kind |
4639s | now which is the cab fight but landon is |
4641s | taken down nearly there 92.1 shacks now |
4645s | going to be eliminated and hottie |
4646s | discorded up nowhere to go tries to dive |
4649s | in and out of the bubble but eventually |
4650s | will be felt it's just shy of four and a |
4652s | half minutes now in the time bank for |
4653s | the side of the land to reign yeah very |
4655s | cool stuff coming through from hawk |
4656s | there multi-flag towards the end |
4657s | shutting down shacks with a single punch |
4658s | but really it starts to me coming |
4660s | through from kai the head shot on to who |
4662s | i believe it was backbone enabling the |
4664s | five versus four nice nana to save hardy |
4666s | at least but they like the damage output |
4667s | the extra harmony healing the also |
4669s | discord damage that would have been |
4670s | there for london spitfire without the |
4672s | zenyatta player atlanta rain okay they |
4674s | did lose a couple of shacks but with a |
4676s | 3v3 situation closer respawns for the |
4678s | atlanta reign they're gonna be able to |
4679s | take that fight and importantly they |
4681s | didn't have to spend any extra ultimates |
4683s | having both nano and the transits |
4684s | available now it's gonna be super |
4685s | important |
4688s | jack just working his way up here onto |
4690s | the high ground |
4691s | poking and prodding where possible |
4692s | trying to catch up towards that next |
4694s | pulse bomb where venom is leading him |
4695s | just a little bit landing getting dove |
4697s | on but the heels come through and see it |
4698s | out discord atlanta hawk is going to |
4700s | have to make his exit away from land |
4702s | ties one |
4704s | now falls low 70 hp as oddi gets the |
4707s | stop finishes off kai hawk will make his |
4709s | exit the car the meantime is still |
4711s | steadily advancing forward though for |
4712s | the side of the atlanta rain so they are |
4713s | gaining distance hawk however gonna be |
4715s | slept there's the charge up there from |
4716s | backbone on the right clicks they get |
4718s | the elimination ultraviolet taken down |
4720s | as well mccarten now finally gonna be |
4721s | halted and this is one thing that london |
4723s | do very well that we saw in lee jung |
4724s | town that we're seeing here again that's |
4726s | when atlanta really want to get |
4727s | aggressive london are great at trading |
4728s | backlines so okay hawk wants to go with |
4730s | the nano cool hardy's on a prime on the |
4732s | back line he focuses on kai most |
4734s | importantly gets him out of the picture |
4735s | solos that kill and it turns into a |
4737s | reasonable situation for the london |
4739s | spitfire they still have mostly high |
4741s | ground in their control a solo player |
4742s | pushing for man to reign i mean they |
4744s | need to be pushing what they got to do |
4746s | but that technically means they're |
4747s | another player down oh whoa okay that's |
4749s | big |
4750s | uh okay shaq's finding two again this |
4753s | time the pulse pop taking down both of |
4754s | the supports just hugging terrified in |
4756s | the corner and shaq shows no mercy it's |
4759s | the elimination sven i'm now gonna be |
4760s | recalling but he's stuck over back by |
4762s | the cart so ends up going down a little |
4764s | bit of added stagger there |
4766s | go ahead and take a look at how he made |
4767s | this one happen |
4769s | so then he was there |
4770s | okay just blink straight into double |
4772s | sports coming through the choke point |
4774s | and that's gonna be it and i think both |
4777s | supports just accepting their fate there |
4779s | og's like not gonna blow transfer this |
4780s | one but what it does means with the |
4782s | couple fight losses down now london |
4784s | spitfire in the lead venom also gets |
4786s | deleted he was trying to solo push the |
4787s | payload shrine for some attention |
4789s | towards him and i think he got that |
4790s | attention |
4792s | he certainly did |
4794s | back on digging his head off here's the |
4795s | drop down here on the high ground hog |
4796s | immediately gonna be met with a sleep |
4798s | darts gets knocked down off the high |
4800s | ground backbone has that charged up |
4802s | headshot what's more going to get |
4804s | punished but it will be a trade out on |
4805s | those tanks but backbone is absolutely |
4807s | stomping |
4809s | three kills for the zen cleans up both |
4811s | supports the back end of the fight and |
4812s | that is going to be so much of the time |
4814s | big drain down nearly three minutes gone |
4816s | oh what happened |
4820s | just as soon as he respond he puts him |
4822s | right down there |
4824s | gap yeah i think it might be right oh |
4825s | gee with a lullaby look it is pretty |
4827s | accurate |
4829s | phones back baby gotta say unbelievable |
4831s | three in a row there she's even got a |
4833s | smile on his face like i respect her she |
4834s | said oh gee by the way he came out he |
4837s | came out the left side uh entryway he's |
4839s | like i'm not gonna take the main i don't |
4841s | want to die again respect it |
4845s | unbelievable |
4847s | a fantastic series of events there from |
4848s | backbone continues to just hold at the |
4850s | top of the rampart time is an issue |
4852s | though stacked up here put this out of |
4853s | the spitfire sparker crashing through |
4855s | tries to get that nade down overclocked |
4857s | now gonna be popped however kai finds |
4858s | the shot finishing off shax |
4861s | rotating around the back and he's |
4862s | looking for another target spots hottie |
4863s | on the floor |
4865s | party however now got to be popping that |
4867s | prime will get to the top of ultraviolet |
4868s | and hawk is going to be eliminated back |
4869s | home comes up with yet another |
4870s | elimination he gets kai mid slide as |
4872s | well two for backbone in the fight looks |
4875s | for a little bit more og will get a |
4876s | minor amount of revenge but is quickly |
4879s | dealt with shortly thereafter and the |
4881s | car in the meantime is rolling back this |
4883s | is an utter catastrophe for the rain it |
4885s | certainly is 30 seconds remaining to run |
4887s | out of ultimates as well hawke's about |
4888s | to hit the media strike but that'll only |
4890s | be good for resetting his own life there |
4892s | london spitfire great trades on the |
4894s | ultimates there nana on the backbone |
4896s | ends up working well as well |
4898s | getting damaged coming on through he's |
4899s | leading frags by the way nine total |
4901s | final blows two above shacks on seven |
4903s | and final fight territory in |
4906s | speaking of shacks once more gonna be |
4907s | starting the fight off as he goes down |
4909s | oh gee |
4910s | managing to get the connection there to |
4912s | the skull with the enemy tracer finds |
4914s | the elimination kai as well dealing with |
4916s | the other dps member on the side of the |
4918s | spitfire parker now out of the fight |
4920s | hawk falling low jumps back over rejoins |
4922s | with the rest of the squad the cart |
4924s | finally starting to make its way across |
4925s | the bridge diamond comes through from |
4927s | hottie gets punched away then his |
4928s | corridor goes out and he's still so very |
4930s | good but there's the stick that cuts the |
4932s | supports down |
4933s | in half ultraviolet eliminated now ben |
4935s | i'm going to be taken out backward once |
4936s | more finds another elimination kai finds |
4938s | the head shot rail but sparker gets hawk |
4941s | there's no one to contest this card |
4942s | anymore oh gee left allen is lonesome |
4945s | they look for the final kill here on the |
4946s | back end but there you have it they'll |
4948s | hold just at the end of the bridge here |
4950s | for the london spitfire they have a very |
4952s | real win condition to play for i think |
4955s | harness is talking about his parent or |
4956s | cloud9 you know it does make sense the |
4958s | other london spitfire i understand on |
4960s | this spitfire uh |
4961s | yeah exactly let's spit fire though |
4963s | great hold coming through what we do see |
4965s | silver lining for the atlanta rain is |
4967s | that despite losing b and i think it was |
4969s | pretty fair to assume that they weren't |
4970s | gonna really can't be there had they |
4972s | kept beat we're not going to finish the |
4973s | map anyway based on the amount of time |
4974s | remaining |
4976s | they managed to push the payload nearly |
4978s | to the end of b so distance does matter |
4980s | here because they get a couple of |
4981s | important frags in what became the ot |
4983s | fight london spitfire waiting patiently |
4985s | for respawns hardy didn't want to go in |
4986s | alone he wanted to wait until at least a |
4988s | couple more members were there |
4989s | especially shags coming through as well |
4991s | uh ellen terrain used that opportunity |
4992s | to |
4993s | not quite cap the point but 116.36 |
4996s | that would give them a very defensible |
4997s | position now to play through so small |
5000s | silver linings here to be able to do |
5002s | things with |
5003s | combination of sleep dart into a kick |
5005s | into a right-click headshot combination |
5007s | from backbone that'll delete cork and |
5009s | that's exactly how you outplay dooms |
5013s | utterly impactful gets ultra violent |
5015s | just moments before he would have |
5017s | crested over the opposite side of that |
5019s | wall broken line of sight |
5022s | hashtag supports a week by the huge |
5023s | punishes |
5025s | yeah |
5026s | yeah |
5027s | i mean and he didn't he didn't even have |
5029s | to utilize the the massive kick from the |
5031s | zenyatta to get those kills to come |
5032s | through just did it with uh the base kit |
5035s | of the zen |
5036s | all right coming back over through the |
5037s | first fight now hawk is actually gonna |
5039s | be starting out on the diva |
5040s | which is an interesting choice this is |
5042s | part of the |
5043s | i don't know if i could say issue for |
5044s | hawk being the lineup because he's still |
5046s | trying to adapt to gain his hero picks |
5048s | it would be better for him to be able to |
5049s | winston here but i don't know how |
5050s | comfortable he is on that winston just |
5052s | yet it's not been part of his hero |
5054s | traditionally so he's going to come and |
5055s | bring out the diva who on this |
5056s | particular batch is not made of two guys |
5058s | but on this beta one patch diva still |
5060s | doesn't have the sort of buff she has in |
5062s | the cart patch |
5066s | dropping down fishing for a tag down the |
5068s | fire strike right side doesn't get a |
5070s | connection |
5072s | all right gonna say as well to advance |
5074s | forward but right now he's getting |
5075s | beaten and battered from this side right |
5077s | now well this is different to the london |
5078s | spitfire normal ryan completely dude |
5079s | that only fragment og though so this |
5081s | could be the fight indeed they're |
5082s | basically playing ryan died because it's |
5084s | a dive composition with a double flip |
5086s | support but it's got a rhyme |
5088s | and they've already got two eliminations |
5090s | now they're looking for a little bit |
5091s | more hawk just gonna be going off that |
5092s | side of the map backbone |
5094s | getting him a final little kick |
5096s | and coming down just making sure to zone |
5097s | back ultra violence can keep shacks |
5099s | alive they get those kills and it is so |
5101s | very swift from the light from the side |
5103s | of the london spitfire |
5105s | as they just go ahead and pick this up |
5106s | and uh |
5107s | yeah she's just there so uh we'll go |
5110s | ahead and |
5112s | if he got a frag maybe that would have i |
5114s | mean he tried he had a full charge rail |
5115s | unfortunately just doesn't connect right |
5116s | a little bit unfortunate but he was he |
5118s | was very far forward so |
5121s | now waiting for the long walk back good |
5122s | news they have to they have to wait for |
5124s | this gate to |
5125s | open uh |
5126s | you call the support of colors |
5128s | but i don't think that's right |
5130s | is it so it's just a report call us yes |
5133s | just reporting it is what it is i just |
5134s | said it wrong |
5135s | oh good all right cool so there it is |
5137s | there you go waiting for the border |
5138s | colors to come up so i'll give it a line |
5140s | to rain the opportunity to read through |
5141s | properly almost another stick that |
5142s | doesn't still gets the kill doesn't it |
5144s | doesn't matter |
5146s | ultraviolet just jumped up and down on |
5147s | top of it like it was a trampoline and |
5149s | he ends up dying venom will find a kill |
5151s | on the opposite side though as parker |
5152s | does get |
5153s | dropped so a bit of wiggle room to work |
5155s | with here on the side of the plan to |
5156s | reign but i think the london spitfire |
5158s | going to be tuned on plus about it now |
5159s | shacks continues finds the other |
5162s | component there in the supports gets rid |
5164s | of the game then we traded out his venom |
5165s | gets that pulse bomb out on the backbone |
5166s | yeah the stick is different jacks |
5168s | continues to find value finds hawk |
5170s | highly going to be slept ultraviolet the |
5171s | bionic will be able to take him down so |
5172s | a train out here on those tanks as venom |
5174s | tries to hold the card there's a bit of |
5176s | support coming through there from |
5178s | ultraviolet just keeping him topped up |
5179s | but once more the cart is going to be |
5181s | inching forward for the spitfire and |
5182s | that's really important for venom as |
5184s | well the cardinal is actually mostly |
5185s | stalled out now that's because venom won |
5187s | his duel earlier on he actually got i |
5189s | think they killed the backbone there but |
5190s | also maintain presence on the payload so |
5192s | usually in the situation even if london |
5194s | were losing they could sneak payload |
5195s | distance the same way atlanta rain would |
5197s | doing but now okay you're right atlanta |
5199s | rangers die apparently would you start |
5200s | the fight and three though what what is |
5201s | happening |
5203s | i mean honey just sleeps in the high |
5204s | ground and ultraviolet just dies he's |
5206s | just left out the dry now everyone's |
5207s | getting picked up one after the other |
5210s | time it's round in the final corner |
5211s | kite's just all he just has got to go |
5213s | now yeah |
5215s | you just have to throw everything and |
5216s | hope that something sticks on this |
5218s | defense touch your way out |
5220s | okay the touch is gonna be there hawk |
5221s | makes his way over still gonna be 28 |
5223s | percent shy of having that prime already |
5225s | ready to go back pops the trans with the |
5227s | head shot is there from kai finds land |
5228s | and venom gonna be traded out jax |
5230s | finding the elimination he pushes |
5231s | forward he's looking for sparker kai |
5232s | finds the finishing shot it seems like |
5234s | the rain will manage to make this hole |
5236s | come through backbone just give a little |
5237s | parting gift there to kai before he goes |
5240s | down but the team kill is completed they |
5242s | hold the cart point five meters away but |
5245s | they still have to go through three |
5247s | whole minutes on the time bank i mean |
5248s | that was literally a last second contest |
5250s | here so finally someone does touch you |
5251s | get some i don't know about you man but |
5253s | watching some of the games that we had |
5254s | over the past but you're getting some |
5255s | ptsd looking at payloads going towards a |
5257s | checkpoint and well no one kind of |
5259s | getting there venom basically has to |
5260s | stay on this payload permanently now we |
5262s | actually had the interview from og last |
5264s | time we said okay one of the key focus |
5265s | on the team was just to stay on the |
5266s | payload and speaking of staying on |
5268s | shaq's is staying on pilot |
5271s | uh yeah that's ultraviolet out of the |
5272s | fight hawk jumping over keeps the car |
5274s | contested probably gonna be popped by |
5275s | honey hawk still holding on to his own |
5277s | but look at kai zone so very far away |
5279s | and honey manages to track him down gets |
5282s | that elimination this quarter does come |
5284s | through he falls a little bit low makes |
5285s | his exit pulse bomb not going to find a |
5287s | connection i mean hawk actually kind of |
5289s | swatting away from that one now the |
5291s | overclock gonna be popped and hawk gets |
5292s | taken down by the nade from sparker of |
5294s | all things |
5295s | looks for a little bit more hunting a |
5297s | target but venom is already dead hottie |
5299s | the one to find that elimination kai |
5300s | trying to play around the back side of |
5301s | the card the bionic comes in from |
5303s | ultraviolet they get that healing |
5304s | booster to try to keep him in this fight |
5306s | but oh gee now kai all go down to the |
5308s | nano dup scientist honey claiming two |
5311s | hawk finished up by backbone the push is |
5313s | through in the london spitfire now move |
5316s | up 2-0 match point in their hands this |
5319s | doesn't look good for the atlanta ring |
5321s | today they're being sort of outpaced on |
5322s | lee chiang tao with the doom versus the |
5324s | rhine composition here coming through |
5326s | into eichenwalde which is atlanta range |
5328s | pick dive versus dive seems like london |
5330s | have the better of that match up here as |
5332s | well you know we're getting a lot more |
5333s | value out of the winston doom seems to |
5335s | be heavily counted by backbone and land |
5337s | in the combination which has just been |
5338s | unbelievably good i mean if you told me |
5341s | that backbone was a dedicated flexible |
5342s | player who specializes in zen i would |
5344s | 100 believe you he was one final blow |
5348s | behind the kill leader for this entire |
5350s | map shacks on 14 backbone on 13 those |
5354s | are number one and your number two's |
5355s | backbone was doing so much work |
5360s | unbelievable performance here from the |
5362s | side of london spitfire i mean we had |
5364s | the lower third earlier on it said the |
5366s | last time that these guys did square off |
5367s | against each other it was a 3-2 london |
5370s | spitfire weren't able to walk away but |
5371s | right now they're looking for the 3-0 a |
5374s | reverse sweep is what is necessary as |
5376s | i'm looking at that replay from backbone |
5378s | it's absolutely insane but guys we're |
5381s | gonna go to a quick little break grab |
5382s | some coffee and when we come back we'll |
5384s | see if the spitfire can close this out |
5385s | or if the rain can put a maf win on the |
5387s | board |
5393s | [Music] |
5395s | hmm |
5398s | [Music] |
5432s | um |
5436s | [Music] |
5458s | to |
5462s | [Music] |
5486s | me |
5487s | [Music] |
5491s | so |
5493s | [Music] |
5513s | do |
5515s | [Music] |
5529s | hmm |
5536s | [Music] |
5576s | [Music] |
5605s | two shots dead on the ground we're in |
5607s | the same pull up three rounds bro you |
5609s | done we let a rain head pop so look out |
5612s | when we in the zone don't play around i |
5614s | got strap puts your back tell you now we |
5617s | laying it down yeah bow bands up trapped |
5620s | out i bring the doors gang out look |
5622s | don't wanna fade and drop out got no |
5624s | clout think smart this crucial crucial |
5627s | we ain't no average usual no |
5631s | who you |
5635s | [Music] |
5643s | [Music] |
5646s | and welcome back it's the atlanta rain |
5649s | and they need a reverse sweep because |
5650s | right now they're down zero too uh |
5652s | they're gonna have another master ball |
5653s | coming up though so we'll see if they |
5655s | can make that happen if they can start a |
5657s | reverse sweep |
5659s | two blue hats though so we're increasing |
5661s | the number i think if they get to five |
5662s | blue i do have legitimately like the |
5664s | wheeler they get to five don't think |
5665s | their final form does unlock yeah it's |
5667s | not looking good has to be reverse sweep |
5669s | and uh |
5671s | i would have liked to have seen a lot |
5672s | more coming through from their die i i |
5674s | felt like that would have been a strong |
5675s | point versus london spitfire but as i'd |
5677s | mentioned in the pre-show right or even |
5678s | just before we go into the last map if |
5680s | london can get this dive underway is |
5683s | another very strong composition for |
5684s | themselves |
5685s | i don't know if they have any major |
5687s | weaknesses to be exploited anymore you |
5689s | know poker is going to come in for map |
5690s | number three get his escort he's going |
5692s | to come into play a bit of that sigma |
5694s | this is kind of i mean it literally is |
5696s | final chance of rain at least as far as |
5697s | this matchup goes but for hawk as well |
5699s | he's kind of running the gamut of like |
5701s | okay try to counter the hardy rein now |
5704s | try to counter the hardy winston now |
5706s | you're playing sigma versus poco cygnus |
5708s | this guy it's got to be a winning match |
5709s | up somebody somewhere in here |
5712s | kai and nero coming together on the |
5714s | potentially double sniper could be |
5716s | pretty strong as well um there's got to |
5718s | be something that this team can do |
5719s | better than the london spitfire to get a |
5721s | win today i think this should be a |
5722s | pretty ringable map for the rain but |
5724s | their chance of actually making reverse |
5726s | sleep are starting to look slim |
5730s | certainly have their work cut out for |
5731s | them if they can make it happen would be |
5733s | a monumental way to go ahead and kick |
5735s | off the mid-season madness tournament |
5737s | and keep themselves you know in that |
5739s | upper bracket and whatnot uh but yeah |
5741s | it's looking really really tough for |
5744s | them right now they haven't quite been |
5745s | able to hold a candle to the london |
5747s | spitfire in any regard which is |
5749s | a bit interesting to see because again |
5751s | the last time they squared off against |
5752s | each other it was a very close series |
5754s | the london spitfire had to win it in a |
5756s | 3-2 setting we'll see if they can |
5759s | get more towards that again but it's got |
5761s | to start on the next map obviously lots |
5763s | of substitutions made here nero coming |
5765s | back through obviously there's some |
5767s | change-ups his backbone's going to be |
5768s | moving back into the dps slot shacks |
5770s | going back onto the bench poco stepping |
5772s | in admiral is here who is we'll keep a |
5775s | track we'll keep track of this but right |
5776s | now admiral was deathless in this series |
5778s | because the only true first map didn't |
5780s | play didn't die so we'll see if we can |
5781s | maintain that that would be a hell of a |
5783s | feat um uh we'll definitely keep our |
5785s | eyes peeled i have a question for what |
5787s | backbone is going to play on this map a |
5788s | bit of spiders but we are moving to |
5790s | circuit and i just want to announce it |
5791s | so we can start discussing things for a |
5793s | little bit |
5794s | but it is normal that you do play sigma |
5796s | on this map double flex support cool |
5797s | standard double uh snipers as well when |
5800s | i say double snipers we're either |
5801s | talking about widow plus sojourn or |
5803s | maybe a widow plus hanzo or at the very |
5806s | minimum i think you're going to be |
5806s | looking towards sojourn plus a hanzo |
5808s | which means back bump probably comes out |
5809s | on hanzo here he's not on his signature |
5811s | mate pick he's not on his signature i |
5813s | would say zen pick here has always got |
5815s | two signatures uh can the rest of his |
5817s | picks come on through to sort of match |
5818s | up because this is a sort of situation |
5821s | where okay well |
5822s | surely the the chinera combo combination |
5825s | on these double snipers |
5826s | can be the strong point for atlanta rain |
5828s | right i did say that kai was meant to be |
5831s | the better of the two dps between him |
5833s | and sparker but sure it seems like today |
5834s | um i wouldn't necessarily say it's kai's |
5836s | fault but he hasn't been popping off as |
5838s | hard as we normally see but the entire |
5840s | atlanta range squad has been looking |
5842s | pretty underwhelming this entire series |
5843s | so it's hard to even look at a single |
5845s | player here it does seem like a pretty |
5846s | major team diff overall |
5849s | and that's why it's looking difficult |
5850s | for the rank to make any sort of |
5852s | comeback but this really is the last |
5853s | chance sigma versus sigma battle if |
5855s | there's one place you can win maybe that |
5857s | are going to be a fantastic matchup for |
5858s | hawk at least |
5862s | well we'll see how they piloted as as |
5864s | you already spoiled how dare you circuit |
5866s | royale is going to be coming up and this |
5869s | could be very well the decider if london |
5871s | spitfire can go ahead and close it up |
5872s | they are going to be looking for this |
5874s | three zero hottie's been dropping c9s in |
5876s | the chat after the first two maps even |
5878s | though there's not been a c9 in sight |
5882s | god for that it's completely fueled up |
5883s | on this rivalry right now |
5886s | so uh i know that you know even though |
5888s | he's not playing in this lobby right now |
5890s | poco probably gonna drop a c9 for him if |
5892s | they can tell you what it's happening |
5893s | now that hardy's uh he's taking a bit of |
5895s | time off from this map i you know i'm |
5897s | really hoping they put some cameras on |
5899s | the the gator versus hardy charity |
5901s | boxing match that's actually happening |
5902s | behind the scenes right now so i'll pay |
5904s | you to watch that one but we'll see if |
5905s | we can get some results see if we get |
5906s | some live updates from danny on that a |
5907s | little bit later on here we go let's |
5909s | take a look at the compositions uh |
5910s | backbone on the genji now that's |
5911s | interesting we have seen genji paired up |
5913s | with one of the snipers here not playing |
5916s | the watermaker i think is a little bit |
5917s | weak and requires london to be very |
5920s | active because they're also playing the |
5922s | brig version of this matchup as well so |
5924s | they're not going opting for the double |
5926s | flex support uh the brig version |
5928s | requires that your entire team poke |
5930s | commander emerald working to get a |
5931s | little bit more active in the front |
5932s | lines to pressure out hawk being in the |
5935s | atlanta area playing a more poke style |
5936s | heavy composition they want to play a |
5938s | bit slower they want to rely on kai to |
5939s | find opening picks they want to use |
5940s | their double flex supports to sort of |
5942s | out poke the london spitfire composition |
5945s | so uh kind of hoping here that okay just |
5947s | stays on the watermaker for reasons like |
5949s | that |
5950s | yep i saw that one happening in slow |
5952s | motion sparker |
5955s | life flashing before his very eyes kai |
5957s | taking his head off but backbone does |
5959s | manage to find the elimination get |
5960s | cleans up that immortality field as well |
5962s | now dives in looking to try to take down |
5964s | kai for the heels come through and he's |
5966s | just going to go ahead and point blank |
5967s | finish him off there |
5969s | that unscoped left click |
5971s | trade out but does buy some time and |
5973s | space here for the side of london |
5974s | spitfire but now they are very much |
5976s | corrupt caught and surrounded land |
5978s | london should get cleaned up hinged on |
5980s | feeling lower and lower and well poco's |
5983s | gonna try to run at them kai does end up |
5984s | falling landon finding that kill and |
5986s | somehow does manage to stay alive |
5987s | healing orb is out onto pogo steadily |
5989s | trying to keep the sigma in the fight so |
5991s | far the kills somehow have not come |
5993s | through which is a little bit surprising |
5994s | but nero will finally go ahead and get |
5996s | the head shot through on that well now |
5997s | the cleanup is there for the sound gonna |
5999s | keep pushing |
6001s | what they do finally look they finally |
6003s | got the kills i mean london did take a |
6005s | while to die there i'm not too happy |
6007s | about that because that is going to be |
6008s | staggers for the london spitfire squad |
6011s | they're trying to find ways to maybe |
6012s | come back there saw a kill come through |
6014s | for landed i think backbone even dived |
6015s | in for a single kill but that fight was |
6017s | as good as done as soon as kai actually |
6019s | hit that opening shot it's gonna be |
6020s | difficult position to defend now london |
6022s | spitfire have to kind of run it and the |
6023s | good news is because the supports there |
6024s | for so long they're going to have double |
6026s | support ultimates they should be able to |
6027s | walk in with this rally and sort of take |
6029s | a fight off the back of that one lantern |
6030s | rain are going to have to end up popping |
6032s | some ultimates of their own here we go |
6034s | oh well the window gets opened up first |
6035s | and foremost the nero he makes use of it |
6038s | finds a head shot on the poco taking |
6039s | down that sigma now admiral is going to |
6041s | be gone so no chance to even pop the |
6042s | rally just two meters left to go to go |
6044s | ahead and get this cap coming through |
6046s | and landon the only one who's able to |
6047s | find an elimination right now sparkler |
6049s | falling lower and lower neo has to go |
6050s | for the reload and sparkle will slide |
6052s | through get that melee hit make his |
6054s | escape up here onto the high ground |
6055s | chase comes in and it looks elimination |
6058s | violet will get slowed up but they get |
6060s | the kill all the same so some additional |
6062s | stagger to be found the cap is there |
6064s | it's four and a half minutes down for |
6065s | the rain and this is not going to get |
6067s | any easier for the london spitfire until |
6068s | we get to c let me i'm not saying b is |
6070s | going to be a watch just yet because |
6071s | there are some london spitfire outfits |
6073s | that could make a difference here the |
6074s | blade could be pretty reasonable and you |
6076s | know maybe an opportunity for backbone |
6077s | to redeem himself uh in terms of okay we |
6080s | know he's great on certain other heroes |
6081s | but he did he did kind of cop some fair |
6083s | criticism for his genji early on in the |
6085s | season how do you deal with kai though |
6086s | is a big question to answer |
6091s | block's gonna be used first by hawk |
6092s | transcendence comes out from landon |
6094s | keeps everybody alive for the time being |
6096s | backbone receiving that discord falls |
6098s | low has to deflect up also got the kill |
6100s | moments before they're on the kai |
6102s | alleviating that will make a pressure |
6103s | rally rolling as they continue to push |
6105s | forward looking to find any additional |
6106s | kills they possibly can the dash through |
6108s | comes out oh gee he pops the |
6109s | transcendence off the back of that |
6110s | immortality field as well going to be |
6112s | used |
6113s | for all the healing the immortality |
6115s | field it's taken down the cleanup can |
6117s | come through poco fighting too backbone |
6120s | with another and there you go london |
6121s | spitfire finally resting control away |
6123s | from the rain i'm a little surprised |
6125s | rain plays so hard that fight is on |
6127s | they're just committing all these |
6128s | ultimates and i think it's reasonable |
6130s | for them to actually reset okay this is |
6131s | what happens because when you reset you |
6133s | can just play for poke anyway and that |
6134s | the reset regardless because they did |
6136s | lose that fight the transcendence did |
6138s | not save them from the flux because it |
6139s | ran out too early poker had the great |
6142s | flex timing still got the kills |
6143s | regardless but again it comes down to |
6144s | kai to carry them through can they |
6146s | survive the play though uh backbone |
6149s | falling lower and lower will get ultra |
6150s | violet for his troubles but that's just |
6152s | going to be it an old committed just for |
6154s | the single kill and you can see the |
6155s | restylane terrain still very much |
6157s | interested in advancing forward so they |
6159s | get right back over the car they start |
6160s | inching it up around the corner like a |
6162s | window soon good angle coming up |
6165s | absolutely can don't have any olds to go |
6167s | with it but i mean you've got a sojourn |
6169s | you've got those rails you've got a |
6170s | widowmaker as well so plenty of use to |
6172s | be found from it |
6174s | sparkler there we go picking of both |
6175s | just have the overclock ready to go |
6177s | tries to send out the nade |
6179s | them back it's not going to happen |
6180s | instead everybody just tucking away |
6182s | behind the corner here for the side of |
6183s | london spitfire trying to break that |
6184s | line of sight poco trying to make his |
6186s | way back up to keep the car contested |
6187s | but ends up going down mid transits |
6188s | parker however pops that overclock finds |
6190s | kai the chest shot good enough to finish |
6192s | him off they down on the stairs og |
6194s | falling lower and lower as they look for |
6196s | the elimination but it's actually going |
6197s | to be hawk who's found first and og will |
6199s | fall in the london spitfire once more |
6201s | steve off the rain |
6203s | a really good opening pick up the kai |
6204s | there is on me that really makes the |
6205s | entire difference because otherwise kai |
6207s | is completely unconscious at long range |
6209s | if you can do anything to shut him down |
6211s | attempt to contest him that will be |
6213s | something that turns the fight around |
6214s | atlanta rain get the notable distance |
6216s | and the opening advantage of the fight |
6218s | via the |
6219s | the amplification matrix window which at |
6221s | that sort of position covers the entire |
6222s | airport that's exactly what you're |
6224s | looking for i'm going to head just kind |
6225s | of miss from kai it could have been |
6227s | another 5v4 but atlanta rain still got a |
6229s | little bit of time to play with here |
6230s | they can wait for another pick to come |
6231s | on through especially while the |
6233s | infrasight is on |
6235s | now has expired |
6237s | landon just about to try to clear that |
6239s | angle oh that's huge kai he does find |
6241s | land anyhow the rally rolling not enough |
6244s | green hp to try to save him from that |
6246s | ends up falling poco is well cleaned up |
6248s | by the flux now it's just three members |
6250s | left alive with backbone down to a |
6251s | sliver of hp he still does manage to |
6253s | duke it out against ultraviolet finds |
6254s | that kill og gonna be taken down the |
6256s | supports are out of the fight kai will |
6258s | find sparker for the london spitfire |
6259s | they might be able to win this extended |
6261s | fight out the rest of the team |
6262s | respawning getting ready to rejoin |
6265s | no supports they can't really push this |
6266s | they just have to kind of take to take |
6267s | this fight off the back of hawk shield |
6269s | and when that gets low or hawks hp gets |
6271s | low as it is now they have to back on |
6272s | out this is something london again three |
6274s | maps in a row now killers have done |
6276s | perfectly which would say that if we are |
6278s | losing this fight we can effectively |
6280s | trade backlines and they do that |
6281s | successfully which ends up resetting the |
6283s | atlanta right despite atlanta kind of |
6285s | winning that |
6287s | all right flux comes in that's going to |
6288s | be the train |
6290s | while he's up above the tram's healing |
6292s | they focus fire him and it's not enough |
6294s | throughput to try to keep him alive he |
6295s | ends up going down nero going to be |
6296s | taken out as well as he pops the |
6298s | overclock funny absolutely no value hawk |
6300s | with the accretion will take down poco |
6302s | but that is it that is the cherry on top |
6304s | of a pile of trash right now for the |
6306s | side of the atlanta reign there is |
6307s | nothing to play around with 24 seconds |
6310s | remaining on there they have to make it |
6312s | to be they're not going to count because |
6314s | they you can't get a good window anymore |
6315s | but where's my support you can't push up |
6317s | because london should just start a fight |
6318s | early they have all these ultimates to |
6320s | just get aggressive into your face they |
6321s | have a transcendence as well so unless |
6323s | kai can just kill landon off the rip |
6325s | there's not a lot of chances here for |
6327s | the terrain oh he's got backbone |
6331s | a massive pick up there that's gonna be |
6332s | the blade out of the fight this backbone |
6334s | will have to try to rush to rejoin nero |
6336s | pushing up over the top looking to |
6337s | contest the transcendence going through |
6338s | landon looking to escort everybody |
6339s | forward as the overclock is rolling but |
6341s | sparker is going to be taken down hawk |
6342s | finds that kill kai will get admiral out |
6345s | of the fight poco under fire falling |
6346s | lower and lower in the accretion will |
6348s | finally finish him off but it seems like |
6349s | here in the final moments that opening |
6351s | kill on the backbone was absolutely |
6353s | everything |
6354s | the cap will be there the atlanta rain |
6357s | managed to make their way through |
6358s | because kai comes up with yet another |
6360s | fantastic shot and not only does it kill |
6362s | backbone but what that extends to you |
6364s | know the snowball effect is that london |
6366s | cannot aggressively play into this |
6368s | window like they could have usually if |
6370s | backbone doesn't die atlanta they're not |
6372s | going to get a window because london |
6374s | walked forward they played on in they |
6376s | used some of the other offers they have |
6377s | they can just trans aggressively as well |
6378s | and your window placement is not going |
6380s | to be good at all so kai in these |
6382s | opening fights off the rip on these |
6383s | resets has been giving glenn terrain |
6386s | every single opportunity but that's |
6388s | going to end for c now the sight lines |
6390s | on c for watermaker are far less |
6392s | favorable |
6396s | see how they pilot this one with just 50 |
6398s | seconds now remaining |
6400s | off sending out the accretion gets the |
6402s | stun there on the backbone |
6404s | through out onto the coast side |
6407s | a whole lot of damage skirmishing back |
6409s | and forth poco i think he's okay with |
6410s | this he's trying to build up for that |
6411s | flux bucks does come in drop some down |
6413s | spark are going to be taken out by the |
6414s | storm arrows and backbone loses the |
6416s | blade a huge secretion from hawk hitting |
6418s | some right as he tries to pull it out of |
6420s | the sheet |
6421s | backbone |
6422s | taken down there's the kill in the |
6424s | atlanta rain they are pulling a rabbit |
6425s | out of a hat right now you see that |
6427s | atlanta lantern actually played that |
6428s | patiently as well they were free pushing |
6429s | for a long time knowing they had london |
6431s | spitfire when they see london pushing up |
6432s | that's where they go for the flux now |
6434s | linder on the ropes |
6437s | dragon strike sent through just trying |
6439s | to interrupt their interrupt then push |
6441s | them away from the car for the london |
6442s | spitfire have pushed past |
6445s | rally now expiring a bit of green hp out |
6448s | og popping his own but hawk has already |
6450s | been eliminated the flux comes through |
6451s | pulls the dps up into the air nero gonna |
6453s | be taken down sparker finds the |
6454s | elimination the ot will bleed down |
6457s | london spitfire they almost give up this |
6460s | final stretch of the point reign a |
6462s | fantastic |
6464s | comeback to nearly finish the map but |
6466s | they cannot get there and once more the |
6468s | london spitfire have a win condition if |
6470s | they can get to the end of the map they |
6471s | will take this series 3-0 well atlanta |
6474s | had no time left right because they |
6475s | walked into this with only 1 30. i'm |
6477s | going to repeat the line that i said |
6478s | last night for i can weld it but this |
6479s | time i think it's a lot more relevant in |
6481s | the sense that on eichenwalde like |
6483s | getting an okay b attack despite losing |
6486s | it's reasonable i don't think it's a |
6488s | real win condition now though in a |
6490s | situation where they they being atlanta |
6492s | right barely looks like they were going |
6494s | to camp b they do miraculously offer |
6496s | great headshot kill on the backbone |
6497s | which denies the blade from even coming |
6499s | on through tonight again a little bit |
6500s | later but we'll touch on that atlanta |
6502s | rain get the free push through most of |
6504s | uh c point they lock up the entire |
6506s | london spitfire on the extremity with |
6508s | that flux wouldn't fight off the back of |
6509s | that shut down backbones genji blade |
6511s | with that accretion from the hawk like |
6513s | you sort of mentioned |
6514s | and the result of that is atlanta rain |
6516s | bypasses the pool phase entirely usually |
6518s | what happens for these teams is once the |
6520s | attacking team gets to see they have to |
6521s | immediately fight for poor london |
6522s | spitfire's positioning meant that |
6524s | atlanta were never going to actually get |
6526s | a fight for paul because they would have |
6527s | pushed through a choke which they can't |
6528s | do so atlanta right ignore it they go |
6530s | for the free push they know their flux |
6532s | advantage they bypass the pull and they |
6534s | get to the end of the map with 130 |
6536s | remaining coming through from ot on b |
6538s | that is a significant amount of distance |
6540s | and that is very defendable now for the |
6542s | c defense when once we get there three |
6545s | two |
6546s | one well now the gates opening up london |
6548s | spitfire on the attack |
6551s | see how they fares they're just gonna be |
6552s | running the same composition that we saw |
6555s | on their defense |
6558s | yeah i still have to answer the question |
6559s | presents here from the side of the rain |
6561s | of how you kind of get rid of kai so one |
6563s | thing that can happen is backbone is |
6564s | going to go and do the jimmy maneuver |
6565s | that we see in apec |
6567s | go over the wall again don't i know |
6569s | there's some ptsd about florida doing |
6570s | this one but london they're not cheating |
6572s | they're actually you know they're |
6572s | genuine gamers here we're not not that |
6574s | cheating florida team uh and |
6577s | backbone i don't know maybe he felt like |
6579s | he could have gotten an angle to place |
6580s | but atlanta rain like most teams now are |
6582s | going to end up holding this first |
6584s | corner they've got to play playing too |
6585s | far forward |
6590s | seeing all from there with the recon |
6591s | arrow |
6592s | and he's just sending arrows in from the |
6594s | flank it's right into their hips |
6597s | mentality feels good to be clean there's |
6598s | stance on the shoulder |
6600s | now in a bit of a rough spot in the |
6601s | other dive coming through or more but |
6603s | he's out on to him he's trying to stay |
6604s | alive and somehow the game was the same |
6606s | for a hell of a lot longer than i might |
6607s | have anticipated but sparker will manage |
6609s | to finish him off but during all the |
6610s | chaos kai manages to lock down poco gets |
6613s | a head shot across takes out the enemy |
6615s | sigma front line now going to be broken |
6617s | down but the cart continues to inch |
6618s | forward just getting it right here on |
6619s | the corner this spitfire say okay that's |
6621s | far enough let's disconnect and wait for |
6622s | poco to return it has to be the |
6624s | ultraviolet uh amplification matrix that |
6627s | will turn this fight here once we get to |
6628s | the next engagement but i i'm not a fan |
6629s | of how atlanta just kind of abandoned |
6631s | nero like that the register's team |
6632s | pulled back it's like narrow maybe |
6633s | didn't get a message or they didn't |
6634s | relay the message because nero from his |
6636s | pov looked like he was in the right |
6638s | position but i know i did the rest of |
6640s | his team that had already left and rain |
6642s | just kind of left him out the dryer |
6643s | there so thankfully kai once again gets |
6645s | it opening picking he will get it again |
6647s | yes he does landon gonna be taking out |
6649s | og as well finding backbone and it's |
6652s | just the one kill onto nero the only |
6654s | thing that london spitfire are finding |
6656s | right now is a consolation |
6658s | hawk just pushing forward spark is |
6659s | sliding to his death and that will be |
6661s | another one fight here for the side of |
6663s | the atlanta reign off the back of the |
6664s | window |
6665s | yep |
6667s | a lot of time being lost too but it's |
6668s | gone now two authors spent though london |
6670s | haven't spent anything they're still |
6671s | building up to the first |
6672s | line of ultimates |
6675s | yeah they have nothing to do and this is |
6677s | where i'm concerned about london's |
6678s | composition i say get to c but |
6680s | realistically you have to win a and b |
6681s | first right and you know |
6684s | the composition difference is that the |
6685s | widowmaker is so incredible on this map |
6687s | if you're not running a widowmaker |
6688s | you're just going to have trouble versus |
6690s | kai and kai's been opening up so many |
6692s | fights if the only fight that didn't |
6693s | look good one of the only fights you |
6694s | didn't look at for atlanta was when he |
6696s | missed the opening hook shot other than |
6697s | that he's mostly |
6698s | he's mostly hit he just does it again |
6700s | yep yep he just finds the opening kill |
6703s | time and time again sparker gonna be |
6704s | taken down now poco is well eliminated |
6707s | it's a quick reset and once more i mean |
6709s | we're just talking about how much time |
6710s | was lost as these cleanup kills come |
6712s | through backwards |
6713s | deflected just die just die you need to |
6715s | reset right now |
6717s | there's nine seconds now remaining |
6719s | there's a mental game going on here as |
6720s | well you're getting scared to pete kai |
6722s | because his consistency is incredible |
6724s | right now you don't want to be playing |
6726s | any open sight lines you can't walk |
6728s | forward unless poker just apparently has |
6729s | a shield up you have like five options |
6731s | coming online so there's still faith in |
6732s | london to get this fight win off the |
6734s | back of fight ultimate some of which can |
6735s | get counted by og but if kai gets |
6738s | another opening pick i'm not feeling |
6739s | good about the london spitfire's push |
6743s | yeah definitely not |
6744s | five volts to throw at this fight |
6748s | zero close they can't lose this one flux |
6750s | gonna be use the rally rolling as well |
6752s | just trying to offer up that green hp |
6754s | and nero taken down by that rail |
6756s | headshot transcendence does get used by |
6758s | og |
6759s | keeping everything yeah that's the best |
6761s | as possible the blade's gonna be pulled |
6762s | to dive forward looking for the supports |
6764s | and backbone it will help find them |
6767s | the cleanup is there kai accepting his |
6769s | feet just says go ahead do what you must |
6771s | the cap will be there it's 2 45 now for |
6773s | the london spitfire i love the spitfire |
6775s | throw everything at the wall there and |
6777s | notably atlanta rain only had the one |
6778s | ultimate to counter right so you have to |
6779s | use that to counter the flux and |
6781s | everything else is just gonna and you |
6782s | and it's gonna end the fight via |
6784s | especially the dragonblade which can't |
6786s | get shut down with hawk dead so as soon |
6787s | as hawk dies no one can touch anymore |
6789s | and the atlanta rain will lose the a-cap |
6792s | the respect being shown i mean you see |
6793s | poco heading up first of all puts out |
6795s | the shield strength to kai's face and |
6796s | then through the window as well people |
6798s | are just very careful about crossing |
6799s | those sight lines they wait for kai to |
6801s | take the shot he doesn't connect because |
6803s | people are far more i guess engaged with |
6805s | the fact that he can't get the kill and |
6806s | then they get through the fight |
6808s | so say there's the challenge from |
6810s | backbone making his way forward |
6812s | window does get used |
6814s | spitfire |
6815s | respecting it here but the overclock |
6817s | didn't get burned sparker unable to find |
6819s | any eliminations with it |
6821s | good response just forces |
6822s | the one in spitfire position back down |
6825s | the ramp flux now looking pretty juicy |
6828s | picks them up transcendence is there |
6829s | however landed trying to keep everybody |
6830s | alive poking poco still nearly focused |
6833s | fire down does manage to stay alive as |
6835s | hawk pulls back around the corner |
6836s | keeping himself safe kai |
6838s | bailey |
6839s | it's out of shot looks for admiral not |
6841s | quite going to be able to get him in the |
6842s | head though sir animal lives the fire |
6844s | another day and as i say that it is a |
6846s | cancer blessing for nero the storm |
6848s | arrows come across they get the |
6849s | connection they find their target and |
6851s | the kills fly through |
6852s | swiftly their abs are two more going to |
6854s | be joining them |
6855s | in 20 seconds remaining the london |
6856s | spitfire popping in this fight sparker |
6858s | will find two on the back end of that |
6860s | but he's all on his lonesome with a |
6861s | sliver of hp needs to make his way out |
6863s | because if he dies now it'd be a massive |
6864s | stagger yeah he got the mega there so |
6866s | brilliant 1v1 win from sparker to save |
6868s | his own life doesn't get self staggered |
6870s | we'll actually force an error to respawn |
6871s | it comes back onto against you know i |
6873s | think that's actually reasonable because |
6874s | this should be a pretty close quarters |
6876s | fight uh gone of the day's just purely |
6878s | poking out |
6879s | and uh with about a minute left here |
6882s | possibly room for one last good fight so |
6885s | for reign to defend b successfully they |
6887s | they again need kai to do that |
6890s | yeah that role is uh very much not and |
6892s | he hasn't been deathless for a while but |
6894s | a great opening kills they look for pogo |
6896s | a little bit more oh what a quick shot |
6898s | kai finds landon |
6901s | and kai is just saying yeah i'm not |
6903s | letting this could be a 3-0 i am not |
6906s | losing like that he's put the team on |
6908s | its back and it's delivered time and |
6909s | time again that's just what the water |
6911s | maker does on this map but ruins your |
6912s | tempo like i mentioned earlier spitfire |
6914s | they want to play fast a fast style |
6916s | sigma because they're running both the |
6917s | genji and the brig you can't do that if |
6919s | kai consistently picks players off he's |
6922s | forcing you to slow down when you don't |
6924s | want to and |
6926s | how many i don't know how many fights |
6928s | has been it feels like more than 75 |
6929s | percent of the fights we've had kai got |
6930s | the opening pick |
6934s | incredible consistency is the car the |
6936s | contest is there the ot will be forced |
6938s | out transcendence rushing forward from |
6940s | emoji just trying to keep them alive |
6941s | through that flux |
6943s | unable to find any kills kinetic grass |
6944s | could be used trying to buy some space |
6947s | 99 broke blade is going to be pulled |
6949s | hawk doesn't get taken down kyle |
6951s | managing to find one finds two poco |
6953s | eliminated but now he is zoned into the |
6955s | back backbone however he cannot really |
6957s | continue to push forward 14 hp that his |
6959s | cord orb is through he has to tuck back |
6961s | away but nero chases forward the dash |
6963s | the melee he finds a kill kai gets |
6965s | another one a third of the fight he's |
6967s | looking for a little bit more as admiral |
6968s | tries to stay alive but he cannot |
6970s | and while it looks like maybe the |
6971s | spitfire going to be able to make that |
6973s | happen get that push get that extra |
6975s | minute and a half they cannot off the |
6978s | back of some fantastic shots once more |
6980s | from kai they close out the fight and |
6982s | they put a map win on the board we are |
6984s | not done yet yeah that is far more |
6986s | convincing through from the land around |
6987s | exactly what you want to see in terms of |
6989s | playing to your strengths you have |
6990s | kovacs guy in your team you have one of |
6992s | the best guests if not the best western |
6994s | headscan we knew that he was going to be |
6995s | fantastic on the widowmaker sparker does |
6998s | not match up he didn't play the water |
6999s | maker i don't know if that was a coach |
7000s | called i don't know if that was like a |
7002s | confidence through from sparka but if |
7004s | you fail to play the widowmaker at least |
7005s | something a little bit more comparable |
7007s | like even a hanzo something that will |
7008s | give you a chance to take down kai genji |
7011s | is not going to be enough for that |
7012s | because you can't reach the back line |
7013s | sparker gets out ranged heavily by |
7015s | widowmaker that is a gigantic difference |
7019s | maker for the squad and is why i think |
7020s | atlanta reign played the superior |
7022s | composition on this map as far as amb go |
7024s | london spitfire did a reasonable job but |
7027s | no water make it no win |
7028s | [Music] |
7029s | yeah fantastic map pick there from the |
7031s | side of the atlanta rain exploiting a |
7033s | weakness in the armor of the london |
7034s | spitfire they get themselves on the |
7035s | board but they still need to keep it |
7037s | going now spitfire have their map pick |
7039s | we'll see where they take us when we |
7040s | come back |
7046s | [Music] |
7060s | mmm |
7064s | [Music] |
7091s | do |

7277s | do |
7285s | i can read it in korean you know |
7291s | hey not funny |
7297s | [Music] |
7307s | who's the biggest prankster on the team |
7309s | i'd say nero hawkinero it's definitely |
7312s | it's definitely me or hawk that would |
7314s | have to go to pelican this guy's just |
7316s | always up to something |
7318s | 100 felican |
7320s | maybe |
7322s | piggy and me |
7331s | always doing something to mess with |
7333s | people feel like they like making people |
7335s | mad sometimes mere hawk just |
7348s | i guess it would be me i like pulling |
7350s | everyone's leg a little bit he'll go up |
7352s | and change someone's wallpaper or |
7354s | something while they're not looking or |
7356s | if someone's mad just making them more |
7358s | mad just for their own entertainment |
7360s | it's just something that we do and we |
7361s | find it funny |
7363s | who has the best fashion in the league |
7365s | to be honest i don't know how any of the |
7367s | other players dress so i'm just going to |
7368s | assume it's me |
7378s | my name is |
7404s | i don't think our team got drift we're |
7406s | not drift out you guys |
7413s | in the league i think |
7415s | shu has the best fashion and i think on |
7417s | our team it's probably kai and kevster |
7420s | actually yeah |
7423s | what teammate always likes your bike no |
7424s | matter what barley my judd |
7427s | it's my saudi brother i think they all |
7429s | have my back |
7430s | you know we trust each other a lot and |
7432s | you know we're a team or a unit and i |
7434s | don't think there's any like barriers |
7436s | between us |
7442s | i'd say everyone on the team we're all |
7444s | friends we help each other through |
7446s | everything probably pelican maybe |
7449s | dante |
7457s | foreign |
7462s | [Music] |
7465s | and we are back |
7467s | atlanta rain able to stay alive here in |
7469s | this first series of mid-season madness |
7472s | they managed to pick up a win on their |
7473s | map pick of circuit royale but now |
7475s | london spitfire they of course after |
7478s | losing that map have a map pick of their |
7480s | own as we get ready to move forward into |
7483s | push |
7485s | hardy coming back in for push |
7487s | which makes a lot of sense to me that's |
7489s | a normal they should be playing the |
7490s | rhine here as well the unfortunate thing |
7492s | for the line to reign is when you |
7494s | consider the fact that they did lose the |
7495s | first two maps every single map pick now |
7498s | for the rest of the series if it |
7499s | continues going through the distance is |
7502s | going to be london spitfire in terms of |
7503s | what they want to pick so um we'll talk |
7505s | about the map coming up again i'll spoil |
7507s | it it's going to be color co i knew |
7509s | queen street would have been the |
7510s | preferable map choice for atlanta rain |
7511s | colosseum far more preferable for the |
7513s | london spitfire being that it is a |
7514s | better rhine map and i think there's |
7516s | something to be said about where new |
7517s | queen street is before orion team like |
7520s | spitfire because dallas kind of showed |
7522s | how to play around the ryan how to beat |
7523s | the hardy ryan and the london spitfire |
7525s | brawl composition on a map like new |
7526s | queen street so they're gonna opt to |
7528s | avoid that one when we get to the final |
7529s | map if we get to the final map rain |
7531s | would love to pick ileos but i think |
7533s | spitfire will take us elsewhere again so |
7535s | it's not going to get any easier here |
7537s | for the atlanta rain |
7538s | we don't really have any major widow |
7541s | maps as well so the one i think match up |
7543s | the one area that the rain had been |
7545s | significantly differing the spitfire on |
7547s | is probably going to end up being closer |
7548s | to them for the rest of the series now |
7551s | yeah for sure i mean it was again very |
7554s | smart map pick there from the side of |
7556s | the atlanta ranching we know that they |
7558s | probably aren't going to play widow and |
7559s | even if they do we feel like we're going |
7560s | to win out in that metric so let's go to |
7562s | the widow map in the mat in the meadow |
7564s | right now and they get that win but now |
7566s | they need to fight back in some you know |
7569s | of london's territory granted with push |
7571s | you're limited your your options are |
7573s | obviously limited given that we only |
7574s | have two maps in that pool right now so |
7576s | it's a bit of a 50 50 and you can kind |
7578s | of assume which one they're gonna be |
7580s | taking you to but we'll see how they |
7582s | fare because they need to fight back as |
7584s | mentioned before multiple times the last |
7586s | time these guys did square off it was a |
7588s | 3-2 series the london spitfire were able |
7590s | to walk away with atlanta rain now are |
7592s | looking to flip the script and atlanta |
7594s | reign actually debuted their own uh ryan |
7597s | rush composition on this map as well |
7599s | versus paris and their final match in |
7601s | the qualifiers as well now they did beat |
7603s | paris on it but i have to say you know |
7604s | that's very different competition now |
7606s | compared to where london are so is the |
7609s | hawk ryan is the atlanta rain ryan brawl |
7612s | going to be as good or it's going to |
7613s | match up to london at all history would |
7615s | say that london aren't to be matched by |
7617s | anybody on this composition but the |
7618s | bigger question will be do atlan terrain |
7620s | even bother trying to play that because |
7623s | that ended up being the bane of |
7625s | their series versus london last time |
7627s | right gator tried to come in play the |
7629s | rhine they were under prepared rain is |
7631s | slightly more prepared this time but the |
7633s | truth is can you ever really be truly |
7635s | prepared up against london's rhine |
7637s | trying to play it yourself |
7640s | uh |
7641s | no i think at this point the answer is |
7643s | pretty much no |
7645s | we'll have to just wait and see maybe |
7647s | some of our apac teams will be well |
7649s | prepared enough to to do well |
7653s | they won't try and match hardy that's |
7654s | for sure we've seen far too many teams |
7656s | try and play up against hardy and it |
7658s | hasn't gone well can rain be the first |
7660s | they didn't do it last time with gator |
7662s | this time it'll be hard coming in for |
7663s | the honorable ryan deal i do wonder how |
7665s | the uh the hardy and gator matchup |
7668s | behind the scenes went so i hope to get |
7670s | some results for that but let's take a |
7671s | look at what we have on the rollout here |
7673s | it's just going to be a clean mirror |
7674s | nero made now as much as i said that |
7676s | backbones may have been phenomenal last |
7678s | year before backbone joined the league i |
7680s | felt like nero on the shark had probably |
7682s | one of if not the best maze as well so |
7684s | big competition now |
7687s | all right well out the gates body gonna |
7689s | be charging forward |
7691s | atlanta rain going towards fountain |
7694s | and we can let battle commence |
7696s | hottie landing the first fire strike |
7698s | he's got the upper hand 14 charge |
7701s | towards that shatter yep |
7703s | be funny if that actually did make a |
7704s | difference you just see like |
7706s | hardy on 100 hawks on like 92 and that |
7709s | it's it's just like okay well there it |
7711s | is there's that that's that extra five |
7712s | strike damage coming in big uh we'll see |
7714s | if the kai and sparker can open things |
7716s | up or maybe narrow and backbone get a |
7718s | snipe here as well oh gee i'm pretty low |
7720s | hp |
7722s | that he is roll rotates over manages to |
7723s | grab that body probably gonna be falling |
7725s | low immortality field comes through to |
7726s | try to keep him alive does get cleared |
7728s | out but they haven't been able to find |
7729s | the eliminations yet admiral making his |
7731s | exit as well as og once more getting |
7733s | tagged up but i like that he dodges his |
7735s | head over to the side he's kind of |
7736s | playing like he's in a vr game right |
7738s | there |
7740s | watch the uh flex support here we're |
7741s | nearly onto the window that could be the |
7742s | difference maker hulk load down all the |
7744s | walls up yep they're cutting off that |
7746s | retreat path hawk tries to make his way |
7748s | through the flank side but he cannot do |
7750s | so they get the punish there's gonna be |
7752s | first blood drawn out for the side of |
7753s | the london spitfire the bot now |
7754s | advancing forward gaining distance yeah |
7756s | that's huge i mean this is going to be |
7757s | the you know opening pickup that's so |
7759s | insane to learn the spitfire we've only |
7760s | had the one kill so far this entire |
7763s | opening neutral but you know it does |
7764s | make the difference window from |
7765s | ultraviolet spitfire respected they back |
7767s | out |
7768s | not fast enough though oh backbone |
7770s | pinned |
7770s | off managing to find that kill |
7772s | immortality cleared out once more from |
7773s | the side of the spitfire but sparker |
7775s | trades it back at the ps4 at dps and now |
7777s | he gets both |
7779s | follow-up rail shot connecting nero |
7781s | taken out of the frame and he's going to |
7782s | find a third sparker really starting to |
7785s | pop hawk getting pushed back there's |
7787s | nowhere to go linden will clean him up |
7789s | and the bot can continue to push you for |
7791s | the side of the spitfire take a look at |
7793s | that again sparker coming on through |
7795s | and losing backbone not looking pretty |
7797s | good and it happens i think just as |
7799s | window comes down i don't know if i got |
7801s | amplified by the window because i didn't |
7802s | see this cyst coming through from |
7803s | landing but you don't really need it you |
7805s | have a charge shot go straight to the |
7807s | head of the atlanta ring that will give |
7808s | you the play advantage you need shady |
7810s | has the shadow available hawk does not |
7811s | quite have it but the blizzard can't be |
7813s | the difference maker when it comes up |
7815s | now hardy just stuck it |
7817s | drops down the shatter finds nero right |
7820s | off the bat the old getting the kill the |
7821s | fire strike finds the follow up the |
7823s | second fire strike will claim hawk and |
7825s | there you go chad is back in the lobby |
7827s | and he is here to pound london spitfire |
7829s | continuing to advance forward never had |
7831s | no idea him there just got completely |
7833s | dunked on by arty spins around the |
7836s | corner does a crit chat on nehru's face |
7838s | no time to even enter ice block and then |
7840s | they'll finish off the rest of the |
7841s | atlanta reign who you know at that point |
7842s | in time hawke had no response hawking |
7844s | leaving a response now trying to get out |
7846s | of the blizzard but he's dead |
7848s | he cannot makes it easy he gets frozen |
7850s | right there at the last second sparker |
7852s | lines up the headshot punishes him back |
7855s | he's inspired will be able to answer one |
7856s | back hawk drops the shatter the |
7858s | mortality field let's go through to try |
7860s | to keep him alive and i think spitfire |
7862s | right now they're just vibing they're |
7863s | having fun the bot has already made its |
7865s | way through the checkpoint it's had |
7866s | smoke break it continues to get some |
7868s | distance it's nearly 82 meters set up as |
7871s | hardy drops the mtd in the chat probably |
7874s | uh looking a little bit greedy there has |
7876s | zero respect for the atlanta right |
7878s | apparently goes to atlanta right spot oh |
7880s | yeah it's a solo shadow from hawk but i |
7882s | respect it you do need to get a kill |
7883s | like that you remove hiding from the |
7884s | server suddenly you can win a fight but |
7886s | the checkpoint has been made 81 meters |
7888s | has been kept and now london can just |
7890s | spend the rest of the map defending if |
7891s | they want to |
7893s | yeah and they recontest right before the |
7894s | pot would even start pushing here so the |
7896s | lantern are able to gain no distance |
7898s | whatsoever off of that fight now nero is |
7900s | going to be taken down he throws a |
7901s | blizzard but is instantly met with a |
7902s | rail to the skull |
7904s | finds another one once more cutting down |
7906s | both of the dps on the side of the |
7907s | atlanta rain hawk stunned up taken out |
7909s | admiral finds the kill and the atlanta |
7912s | reign just cannot hold a candle to them |
7915s | at all kai's got to give it up you know |
7917s | he says nice shot but oh man yeah like a |
7921s | performance right now from the entire |
7923s | london spitfire it is and i love the |
7925s | respect coming from kai as well you know |
7926s | i kind of talked about the fact that |
7927s | sparker was a notable matchup sparker is |
7930s | definitely playing better than kai |
7931s | currently eight final blows to kai's one |
7933s | sound barrier coming on through hardy |
7934s | does maybe land the shot again doesn't |
7937s | sound better though okay |
7939s | hottie does end up falling admiral |
7941s | finding og off the back of the beat |
7943s | landon somehow surviving there actually |
7945s | kills off kai ultra violet now gonna be |
7947s | taken down |
7948s | suddenly the fight starts getting swung |
7950s | back here into the favor of the london |
7951s | spitfire a bit the bot once more still |
7954s | being pushed forward admiral and |
7955s | backbone they say yeah it's just us two |
7957s | first three |
7958s | screw it keep pushing |
7960s | yeah they squeeze extra distance i mean |
7962s | that's incredible just every single |
7963s | extra meter you get can be pretty |
7965s | important |
7966s | okay well under fire wall now start to |
7968s | back on out back one could be in trouble |
7970s | just lives on like any party |
7973s | he just doesn't care he just charges |
7975s | hawk gets the pin takes him down the |
7977s | beat was there to try to keep him alive |
7978s | backbone doesn't end up getting |
7979s | eliminated kai chunking him out finds |
7982s | the kill bot going to be contested here |
7983s | for the moment as sparker looks for a |
7986s | target with the overclock would love to |
7987s | take nero's head off once more |
7990s | hasn't quite been able to find him |
7991s | though now jumps up over the opposite |
7992s | side of the wall and uh uh he's kind of |
7993s | zoned himself i don't want to back out |
7995s | like they kind of want to do that yeah |
7997s | they're just going to start backing off |
7998s | now as admiral does get taken down i |
8000s | actually think london shouldn't have |
8001s | backed out there i know they were down |
8002s | one member and you don't really want to |
8003s | take those flights but on a map like |
8005s | this where there's limited time left and |
8006s | you are leading by 83 meters you got to |
8008s | get ultimates out of the rain if they |
8010s | played that 4v5 there's a good chance |
8011s | you're forcing two ultimates or more out |
8013s | of the atlanta reign and that economical |
8015s | fight is what's important as we get |
8017s | lower on the time then here comes that |
8019s | blizzard now for backbone |
8022s | and the response was their hawk |
8026s | taken out |
8029s | start pushing forward and once more just |
8031s | no real distance able to be accrued |
8033s | 3.82 meters |
8035s | all that's set up for the side of the |
8037s | range |
8038s | the push forward kai take it down |
8039s | backbone is just plus boarding |
8041s | no so ever he gets ultraviolet as well |
8044s | catches it mid leaf the pin not gonna |
8046s | connect from hawk and now he is left out |
8048s | the dry ends up going down the right |
8050s | click into the leg into the chest |
8052s | backbone finds near the bottom once more |
8054s | gaining distance for the spitfire they |
8056s | cannot be stopped he's a right-click |
8058s | sniper on the main icicles what's going |
8060s | on here london spitfire |
8061s | they should be in a really rough |
8063s | situation we're allowing to reign out |
8064s | like four ultimates to play through but |
8065s | they just completely delete them kai |
8066s | goes down immediately clearly to right |
8068s | need that overclock they desperately |
8070s | need kind of all |
8072s | shatter |
8073s | dropped in not finding any connections |
8075s | there hottie has the over step looks |
8077s | like the answer is going to be yes but |
8078s | once more the distance is so significant |
8080s | it's one one one make a wish spitfire |
8083s | fans i hope you're wishing for a victory |
8084s | because right now you're not too far off |
8086s | from it that gun's gonna be taken out |
8089s | as again will be the rain able to rest |
8092s | control away getting the bot for |
8093s | themselves but can they gain any |
8095s | distance can they win the fight i think |
8097s | you're gonna wish for something a little |
8098s | bit more grandiose because the winner is |
8099s | giving it this right you're gonna just |
8100s | gotta get that no matter what no need to |
8102s | wish for 111 to three meters with three |
8104s | minutes remaining and lend a spitfire |
8106s | winning these neutrals you're gonna get |
8107s | another neutral here in the mid point i |
8109s | mean atlanta can't even get past the |
8111s | midpoint currently |
8113s | they're just not as good of a ryan brawl |
8115s | team |
8118s | now the blizzard's gonna be thrown in by |
8119s | backbone in the shatter drop by hawk |
8121s | gets frozen though so can't make a play |
8123s | off the back end of it ends up falling |
8125s | as the immortality fields get cleared |
8126s | out on either side |
8128s | once more |
8129s | no distance to be found here unless they |
8131s | can continue to try to win out this |
8132s | fight but kai is going to be taken down |
8134s | admiral finding that elimination hottie |
8136s | finding one with a fire strike and |
8137s | admiral comes up with three he might not |
8140s | be deathless anymore but he's still |
8142s | getting his hands dirty playing a |
8144s | bloodthirsty support |
8146s | let's just continue to resetting this |
8147s | payload as well i mean it's typically |
8149s | 4v5 what admiral does but you can just |
8151s | shove it right at the top the goal the |
8152s | spitfire is they don't even really need |
8154s | to push any further but they'll just |
8155s | keep pushing it back as much as possible |
8157s | something like the right for playing the |
8158s | game |
8161s | and they have ultimate advantage now i |
8162s | think they're just going to come on |
8164s | but as soon as they break through he |
8165s | gets the head shot on the kai |
8167s | the overclock still held on to |
8169s | hottie moves forward drops the hammer |
8171s | like gone |
8172s | goes for the pin drags hawk into the |
8174s | corner and they will leave his corpse |
8176s | there |
8177s | sparker jumped on nero trying |
8179s | desperately finished on that appeal for |
8181s | his squad but he can't do anything and |
8182s | yeah the map it may as well get finished |
8184s | at this point the beat is still held by |
8185s | the london spitfire as they look for the |
8188s | finish there it comes out on hanzo just |
8190s | give up on the name i mean it's just |
8192s | they're at least rainer running out of |
8193s | ideas like i said there's no ultimates |
8194s | available at all he doesn't become the |
8195s | smartest so maybe the hanzo can't work |
8197s | out |
8199s | does find the kill here on the hottie as |
8201s | well and admiral of course just gonna be |
8202s | holding the beat |
8204s | just gives his life forward as they |
8205s | continue to keep the plot contested |
8207s | right in front of the rain spawn they |
8210s | have their work cut out for him they've |
8211s | got a minute to do it it would be an |
8213s | absolute miracle one of the best if not |
8215s | the best play on push that we will have |
8217s | witnessed across n a and a pack regions |
8220s | if they can get a win here on coliseum |
8222s | the problem is it's not even just up to |
8223s | rain to play well they would need london |
8226s | to throw they would need london to turn |
8227s | off their monitors stop playing the game |
8229s | take their hands off their keys boards |
8231s | because |
8231s | it's 129 meters to push in a minute and |
8234s | london spitfire have just been the |
8235s | better team this match up the entire way |
8236s | through |
8241s | something for a moment the beat gets |
8242s | dropped in kai the first one to fall |
8243s | sparker again finding his head sparklers |
8245s | staying alive with a sliver of hp and he |
8247s | is going to get sustained back up nero |
8250s | gets taken down hawk eliminated it is |
8253s | done it is dustin stick a fork in it the |
8255s | london spitfire once more will continue |
8258s | to win out fight after fight if they are |
8260s | not directly in front of the reigns base |
8262s | the london spitfire seemingly just |
8264s | cannot be stopped they once more will |
8265s | ship the bot back across they are |
8268s | looking for the finish or at least to |
8269s | hold it locked into this side of the map |
8272s | let's let's place a little dirt one |
8273s | blizzard will probably end this at the |
8274s | moment |
8275s | right around trying to push back in |
8278s | one shot available for hulk as well |
8281s | cybernetics |
8283s | there's the ot forced out backbone down |
8285s | nero finding an opening kill clears up |
8287s | the immortality field is that the start |
8289s | of a miracle run back |
8291s | far they will continue to move forward |
8292s | the the kills coming in |
8294s | spark of the last one to get dropped as |
8296s | the team wipe is their rank |
8298s | will finally be able to get this bot now |
8300s | start gaining some distance now do it |
8302s | four more times without losing any |
8304s | members is the atlanta rain come back |
8306s | challenge might be more than four yeah |
8308s | whatever the number is you can't lose |
8309s | anybody because if somebody dies in ot |
8311s | they can't respawn back into the fight |
8312s | because they're too damn far away so |
8314s | literally rain have to win every single |
8315s | fight from here on end without losing a |
8317s | member good luck get some tags through |
8319s | they're looking for landon can't make it |
8321s | happen hottie gonna be hitting the floor |
8322s | as they go pin for pin the bot again |
8324s | going to be locked into position the |
8325s | blizzard not finding too much there's a |
8326s | shadow by hawk he manages to stand up |
8328s | under three that's gonna be landed in |
8329s | honey now cleaned up backbone take it |
8331s | out here's the first fight victor that |
8333s | you were asking for the team wipe comes |
8334s | through atlanta rain finally gaining |
8336s | some distance they get in the double |
8337s | digits but look at this london spitfire |
8340s | vault with a play through |
8341s | the shadow can really end this a party |
8343s | lands it in time spiker as well has an |
8345s | overclock pushing uphill is going to be |
8348s | exceptionally difficult the good news is |
8349s | atlanta reign have already managed to |
8352s | get on top of that bridge so in terms of |
8354s | finding a reasonable fight could be okay |
8356s | they have one place for pushing below |
8357s | there goes market |
8360s | o'clock at the ready honey playing on |
8362s | the high ground for now |
8364s | the first one to fall though that's |
8366s | gonna be the dragon strike basically out |
8367s | of the fight he was just five percent |
8368s | away from it they find the kill hawk |
8370s | getting bullied in the corner |
8372s | they both hit the floor but now hawk |
8373s | going to be taken down hottie finds the |
8375s | kill the shields are gone the shatter |
8377s | gets dropped in and the london spitfire |
8380s | it's an extended team kill as they get |
8382s | the win on coliseum and take the series |
8385s | 3-1 |
8387s | just brilliant stuff coming through from |
8388s | the london spitfire won almost every |
8391s | single matchup the only thing they need |
8393s | to maybe work on is looking over towards |
8395s | what happened on the circuit royale i |
8396s | think the water maker was a bit of a |
8397s | problem that beyond that obviously the |
8399s | better running team we expect them to be |
8401s | the much better ryan team on coliseum |
8403s | they've proven that atlanta reagan have |
8405s | tried to you know shift hawke over |
8406s | towards more of the main tank options |
8408s | that gator used to play i think it's |
8410s | good to sort of have one tank player |
8412s | cover as many roles as possible i mean |
8414s | that's what we're seeing players like |
8415s | smurf like someone be able to do quite |
8417s | comfortably but it's still a sort of |
8420s | learning face for atlanta rain because |
8421s | they were nowhere near as practiced on |
8424s | this rhine cop as the london spitfire |
8426s | are which is strange to say because in |
8428s | 2021 last year they were probably the |
8430s | best ryan team but now it's different |
8433s | london they are the kings orion they |
8435s | beat land to rain they move forward in |
8437s | the bracket |
8439s | a fantastic way to kick things off here |
8441s | in mid-season madness for the london |
8443s | spitfire for the atlanta rain though |
8444s | they do fall down into that lower |
8446s | bracket and they will have to fight |
8448s | their way through it if they want to |
8449s | stay alive and be victorious at the end |
8451s | of it all but clearly some things to |
8452s | work on if they're going to be piloting |
8454s | those ryan comps in the future |
8456s | so focusing in on our player of the |
8459s | match it's going to be going away a |
8461s | backbone a man who wears many hats and |
8463s | has played many a character throughout |
8465s | this series from the may to the genji to |
8468s | the zenyatta as well a very well |
8469s | deserved victory for him |
8471s | you know i think both sides are backbone |
8473s | performed admirably you have the |
8474s | backbone version which is the uh the |
8476s | main stuff and then you have the bone |
8478s | back version which is what we're seeing |
8479s | here which is the zen stuff so you know |
8480s | the fact that he's got these two |
8482s | different looks is what really enables |
8483s | him under spitfire to have two competent |
8486s | compositions to play through and to get |
8488s | wins on but stuff like this is unmatched |
8490s | just completely deletes multiple players |
8493s | such extremely precise main right clicks |
8496s | you can't beat something like this |
8499s | yeah it was just impeccably played and |
8502s | again we saw so many times especially |
8504s | thread collision at the very end |
8505s | backbone just throwing up those walls |
8507s | denying damage coming through cutting |
8509s | off those retreat points for the side |
8510s | deal and terrain like i said that is |
8512s | something that you can't really teach |
8514s | it's something that comes with just |
8515s | playing this character over countless |
8518s | hours it looks utterly impeccable on it |
8520s | as he often does i'm gonna highlight as |
8522s | well eliminations per 10 over 20. that's |
8524s | insane because what it means is he's not |
8527s | only getting final blows which he has |
8528s | 7.9 of out of 10 but he's also assisting |
8531s | in damage and kill participation 203 is |
8535s | an insanely high |
8536s | number for kill participation which |
8538s | means he's a part of all of these frags |
8540s | he's contributing to all of these frags |
8542s | that the london spitfire are getting |
8545s | not only that but also i mean just even |
8546s | 6 500 nearly 6 600 damage pretend is a |
8549s | maze |
8550s | kind of ridiculous yeah i mean that's |
8552s | not in everything he is just |
8555s | maybe doesn't farm damage may is not a |
8556s | damage farmer you know you're not |
8558s | playing soldier you're not playing a |
8559s | chassis you're not playing any of the |
8561s | normal dps's like the trace of the |
8563s | soldiers as well they can really farm up |
8564s | high damage but ash i think is notorious |
8566s | for farming up high damage numbers |
8567s | nate's not that so you know he's hitting |
8570s | a lot of right clicks he's getting the |
8571s | face of the enemy you know spraying them |
8573s | down with his left click as well so |
8575s | he's able to do all of that perfectly |
8577s | with the rest of his team and you know |
8579s | london spitfire the most well-oiled |
8581s | brawl team that we have in this entire |
8583s | league |
8585s | well an incredible victory from them |
8587s | gonna be holding their heads high |
8588s | unfortunately for the side of the |
8589s | atlanta reign it was not to to borrow |
8591s | avaly's word come backable uh she and |
8593s | the rest of the desk though will be |
8594s | breaking down the action there from that |
8596s | first series in just a few minutes and |
8598s | then when we come back we'll be bringing |
8600s | you guys the houston outlaws versus the |
8601s | florida mayhem so that's gonna be |
8603s | breaking down the action in just a few |
8604s | minutes don't go anywhere |

8880s | welcome to game break everybody i'm here |
8882s | joined now by the player of the match |
8884s | backbone from london spitfire |
8886s | i mean backbone today you guys |
8888s | completely look like a different team |
8889s | you guys were always good but today you |
8891s | guys were just amazing dominant showing |
8893s | from the london spitfire |
8895s | what sort of change coming to the |
8896s | tournament um we honestly didn't really |
8899s | change that much we knew we know how |
8901s | good we are we we knew what we needed to |
8903s | improve on we've been focusing on that |
8905s | but i think mainly it's just been about |
8908s | getting rid of the expectations we |
8909s | started playing on ourselves like once |
8910s | we started winning so many games it's a |
8912s | lot harder to |
8913s | go in with the underdog mentality that |
8915s | we've been wanting to do all season |
8916s | uh but we've kind of taken a step back |
8918s | from i guess the ego we grew and it's |
8921s | been very helpful |
8922s | yeah and i mean also you especially you |
8924s | guys you of course got the player of the |
8925s | match because you were one of the snad |
8926s | out players but i mean you and both |
8929s | backbone i mean backbone boom back onto |
8932s | zenyatta and you on the mate as well you |
8934s | you guys were really popping off was |
8936s | there any like special training that you |
8937s | did for the tournament because you guys |
8939s | were crazy uh no not really i mean just |
8943s | you know we've been letting it back |
8944s | playing scrims and stuff |
8946s | but other than that nothing's been done |
8948s | outside i'm i'm literally just showing |
8950s | up and playing and it's good enough to |
8952s | win so |
8953s | i don't need to do any more yeah man i |
8955s | mean and also uh i mean throughout the |
8957s | whole match you guys are very dominant |
8958s | but circuit royale i think was the only |
8960s | if i had to nitpick was the only method |
8962s | you guys sort of struggled uh what |
8964s | what went wrong on that map and like |
8966s | what sort of problems were you guys |
8967s | running into uh it's just it's just a |
8969s | weird map like there's no other map |
8971s | where you play anything remotely similar |
8972s | to it right now so it's hard to practice |
8974s | too because you're practicing something |
8976s | that only works for one map |
8979s | uh so it's not it's not when we practice |
8980s | a lot we kind of just uh you know play |
8983s | it and just flip a coin when will we |
8985s | lose |
8986s | it's not like what we prioritize it's |
8988s | not a map we really care about i mean |
8990s | yeah at the end of the day you guys |
8991s | still got the match win so that's good |
8993s | for you guys and and this means that you |
8995s | guys are moving on to the next round i |
8996s | mean the spitfire won't be picking the |
8999s | next opponent but uh boom back back bone |
9002s | but i am getting so |
9004s | backbone is there is there a team that |
9005s | you want to face off tomorrow |
9008s | uh i want to play one of the apac teams |
9009s | so i hope soul picks us honestly i think |
9012s | that'd be a fun game yeah it sounds like |
9013s | an interesting match all right that is |
9015s | it for the interview backbone thank you |
9016s | so much for your time now let's uh send |
9018s | things back to ollie and the uh the two |
9020s | other guys i don't know you guys |
9026s | he's forgotten us he has forgotten you |
9028s | but thank you so much danny my fellow |
9030s | perfect prediction pack beginners |
9034s | beginners |
9036s | unbelievable lists right now on the desk |
9039s | who have told me that they understand |
9041s | you know the scene and our professionals |
9043s | and yet i'm the one |
9045s | i'm on watch point first time on an |
9047s | overwatch league broadcast and i'm the |
9049s | one sitting here with perfect |
9050s | predictions viewers pick and viewers |
9053s | yeah okay unite yeah |
9055s | don't blame us blame yourselves too |
9058s | it sounds like it's overly okay yeah |
9059s | yeah she's trying to be your friend |
9061s | she's also when she's flaming us she's |
9063s | flaming you to your youtube channel |
9066s | absolutely not i saw multiple people on |
9068s | my side saying that spitfire was going |
9070s | to take it and boy oh boy were their |
9072s | correct dozens there's dozens of us but |
9075s | i mean scott let's start with you just |
9077s | what went wrong for the team that you |
9079s | predicted so wrongly well i just think |
9082s | for me the first match |
9085s | these setups are just going to be too |
9086s | much throughout the day |
9088s | we go on to liang tower and it's pretty |
9090s | much what we expected they played the |
9091s | reinhardt rush it's a it's a map that's |
9093s | great for that style of playing it and |
9095s | atlanta rain you know i was expecting |
9097s | them to struggle on this map was not |
9099s | expecting that much of a struggle i |
9100s | believe it was like 30 kills to eight at |
9103s | the end of this map it was just |
9104s | absolutely incredible and just the |
9106s | coordination you can see the |
9108s | coordination of the spitfire playing |
9109s | with hawke was just not able to play the |
9111s | game as that doomfist and the pharah |
9113s | composition just did not work out but |
9115s | the real sort of |
9117s | failure i think for the atlanta rain is |
9118s | when we head over here to ikemoto |
9120s | because it's just it's a dive map this |
9122s | is something that the atlanta range |
9124s | should be better at but ultraviolet just |
9126s | could not stay alive they were doing |
9128s | such a good job of isolating him and |
9130s | that essentially is it atlanta reigns |
9131s | just asleep at the wheel a little bit on |
9133s | this map and losing this dive map it |
9136s | just sort of made it difficult for them |
9137s | to be able to come back into the series |
9139s | after this one we went over to circa |
9140s | royale a map that we know they're great |
9143s | great at on the back of just kai's |
9144s | widowmaker oh ultraviolet going for a |
9146s | fly right there but yeah guys kai's |
9148s | widowmaker was just absolutely |
9149s | incredible in this map he did turn it |
9151s | around for them was able to get them to |
9153s | win but then we go over to coliseum that |
9155s | reinhardt and it's just at that point |
9157s | they just can't match this skill level |
9159s | on that composition from the london |
9161s | spitfire so |
9162s | you know i talked about the |
9164s | inconsistency heading into the match for |
9166s | the atlanta range so far throughout this |
9167s | season the bad side of that team came |
9170s | out now they have to make a lower |
9171s | bracket run definitely i think it's |
9173s | interesting that we heard in that |
9174s | interview right there too saying like |
9176s | yeah circle royale it's kind of like a |
9177s | weird map don't really know how to |
9179s | prepare for it at all but uh you know |
9181s | we're gonna win everywhere else and |
9182s | that's exactly what they did so johnny |
9184s | coming to you i mean |
9188s | where else did atlanta go wrong against |
9190s | the spitfire because besides that one uh |
9193s | map they look like they were struggling |
9195s | pretty hard yeah i mean |
9197s | i i think atlanta they played very |
9199s | scrappy this series throughout and |
9201s | that's not what you want to do against |
9202s | rhino compositions particularly on |
9203s | league junk tower stuff like that but i |
9205s | actually want to commend the london |
9206s | spitfire because i do think that they |
9208s | played it really well especially in the |
9210s | mid fights which is not something that |
9212s | we usually talk about but we saw it on |
9214s | legion tower like when you lost the |
9216s | member already how you turn fights |
9217s | around when we saw it once more on |
9218s | circuit royale so here you see atlanta |
9220s | rain they're playing this poke |
9221s | composition they got a window out |
9223s | they've on a spitfire they're playing |
9224s | the angles they're going to lose poco |
9226s | here but they're going to turn it around |
9227s | they're playing the brigitte they're |
9228s | playing the genji so they're playing |
9230s | trying to play around the inspire |
9232s | healing the armor packs being fed into |
9234s | backbone here and with this offensive |
9236s | dive they're going to end up turning |
9238s | this fight around despite losing poco |
9241s | early on so they know they win condition |
9243s | we're not going to beat atlanta in poke |
9245s | because they're playing kaio widowmaker |
9246s | they're playing near on sojourn so we |
9248s | can't beat that poke coming in from afar |
9250s | instead we're going to pick our moments |
9252s | in the middle of the fight and then |
9254s | dictate when we go aggressive and i |
9256s | think donald did a great job of that on |
9258s | league tower when they played the |
9259s | reinhardt composition sitting back and |
9260s | then engaging but also on circuit real |
9263s | sitting back and then pouncing when it |
9265s | is your opportunity to go so on a |
9266s | spitfire if they can keep that up |
9268s | there's going to be a huge backbone for |
9270s | them going if throughout the return back |
9271s | back back oh he had that one in his back |
9274s | pocket for a while oh so i do want to |
9277s | add one thing i don't know if i was the |
9279s | london spitfire and i was backbone if i |
9281s | would challenge the seoul dynasty to |
9283s | pick me seoul dynasty look incredible i |
9285s | don't think they know what they're |
9286s | signing up for |
9287s | exactly right and that's something that |
9290s | they're just going to have to wait and |
9292s | see to see who is going to pick them as |
9294s | they go into that next |
9296s | stage of the bracket now that being said |
9298s | atlanta rain they're not out of this |
9300s | just yet there is still the losers |
9302s | bracket that they have and |
9304s | it is combackable for them no it's not |
9306s | compatible it is it is winnable tonight |
9309s | come back |
9315s | uh but you know what should be at the |
9317s | front of their minds in terms of what |
9318s | they need to focus up on and improve on |
9321s | if they want to make this a comebackable |
9324s | run as they drop in i'd like to like to |
9326s | start off here because i |
9328s | i didn't feel like they played to their |
9329s | strengths a lot of the time and i mean |
9331s | especially on colosseum like you face |
9333s | the reinhardt mirror matchup whatever |
9334s | like you're not going to play a ton of |
9335s | rhino teams anyway but even on iconvalda |
9338s | that was the no the map that you hit on |
9340s | because as well they should have won |
9341s | that map i mean that's where you want to |
9343s | take maps from the low spitfire because |
9344s | you're supposed to have the advantage i |
9346s | don't think they really play to their |
9347s | strengths you need to put kai in a |
9349s | position where he can win the |
9350s | head-to-head on sojourn but also you |
9352s | know that shax is a really aggressive |
9354s | tracer so maybe like default to the |
9356s | brigitte to poke him away but also feed |
9358s | your own tracer the armor packs to peel |
9361s | shacks off and like try to cater through |
9363s | these strengths of yours instead they |
9365s | went to like a head-to-head with the |
9366s | zenyatta and the honor and they just |
9369s | simply got like beat man-to-man and they |
9370s | didn't really lean into their strengths |
9373s | they were willing to take a mirror |
9374s | matchup yeah i don't have the numbers on |
9376s | the top of my head but i said it like |
9377s | ultraviolet died a lot he was getting |
9379s | punished and it wasn't even just great |
9381s | play by shaq's and the dive of the |
9383s | london spitfire sometimes he was just |
9384s | out of position so something definitely |
9386s | was out of sync for them on that map |
9388s | they need to get that together because |
9390s | london spitfire is by no means the best |
9392s | dive team we have in this league and |
9393s | this is the playoffs you can't make |
9394s | mistakes like that anymore definitely i |
9396s | even remember as we were watching the |
9397s | games together there were multiple |
9398s | moments especially on eichenwald where |
9400s | the question of wait ultraviolet he's |
9402s | dead wait what happened why is he on the |
9404s | bridge no what's going on here he's |
9406s | getting dove like |
9407s | definitely something that they need to |
9408s | focus up on but hey that was just the |
9410s | first match of the day we do have |
9412s | another match coming up florida versus |
9415s | houston and this is a match that i |
9417s | believe all three of us voted or |
9419s | predicted houston on so johnny |
9423s | we |
9427s | yeah now why do you think so why do you |
9429s | think it's so across the board that it's |
9430s | going to be the outlaws honestly like |
9432s | straightforward answer to keep it short |
9434s | i think houston outlaws are just like |
9436s | the better team like even like man for |
9437s | man i think that meredith is a really |
9439s | good sojourn and is proving himself this |
9441s | stage that he belongs in the overwatch |
9442s | league um i think pelican as well i mean |
9444s | this is this is like a roll star kind of |
9446s | caliber player you know one of the best |
9448s | damage players around the league and |
9450s | dantes won the doomfist they know their |
9451s | identity they know who they are they've |
9453s | had problems staying on the objectives |
9455s | so far this stage |
9456s | but if that if they like fix that which |
9458s | is a relatively easy fix just stay on |
9460s | the point like they are a really good |
9463s | team at florida mayhem i just haven't |
9464s | seen them play to that level yet so far |
9466s | i i will say the silver lining that i |
9468s | have for the mayhem they've been putting |
9469s | xe on this sojourn and he has that |
9471s | firepower obviously went missing last |
9473s | year due to personal health reasons but |
9474s | he's back in a big way but the biggest |
9477s | issue with the florida mayhem overall |
9479s | has been staying alive sir majed playing |
9481s | too aggressive getting punished for that |
9483s | exe has the same issue when he plays |
9485s | aggressive he has a very high death |
9486s | count per 10 minutes on surgeon if they |
9488s | can just stay alive and still get the |
9490s | same form of results they might start |
9491s | winning these matches and turning maps |
9493s | against the houston owls staying alive |
9495s | seems to be the name of the game and we |
9497s | are going to get into that match but |
9498s | first we are going to take a quick short |
9500s | break so don't go anywhere because when |
9502s | we come back we're going to see florida |
9503s | take on houston |
9508s | [Music] |
9519s | oh |
9521s | [Music] |
9534s | [Music] |
9551s | [Music] |
9563s | [Music] |
9613s | [Music] |
9673s | [Music] |
9683s | so |
9690s | and we are back it's time to get ready |
9692s | to go into our second series of a very |
9694s | stacked day of action coming up next |
9696s | we're gonna have a florida ham squaring |
9698s | off against the houston outlaws if |
9700s | you're just now joining us you missed |
9702s | the london spitfire able to get a |
9704s | victory over the atlanta reign so |
9706s | they're gonna be moving forward the rain |
9707s | now gonna have to battle their way out |
9708s | of the lower bracket one of these two |
9710s | teams is gonna be joining them down |
9712s | there at the end of it all |
9714s | yep so this is gonna be an interesting |
9716s | matchup because i i think both teams |
9717s | have very similar styles as well |
9719s | especially when it comes down to the |
9720s | dooms uh you know dante versus someone |
9723s | is going to be pretty hype like i've |
9724s | i've managed to avoid casting someone's |
9726s | entire year after covering the guy |
9728s | contenders not a fan of the name but my |
9729s | goodness is a good player though so i'm |
9731s | glad he's got that going for him |
9734s | yeah i mean you know the the story of |
9736s | how he got his name adorable but |
9738s | it can be a little it can be a little |
9740s | frustrating at times when you're caster |
9742s | and you're like someone it's just like |
9743s | the most blanket term that we we've been |
9746s | blessed to dodge that one for the entire |
9747s | season until now but here we go |
9750s | yeah yeah well we'll have to deal with |
9752s | it we'll see how we fare but uh i think |
9754s | that we should be quite all right as we |
9756s | get ready for these teams to make a |
9757s | battle so we'll see who's able to come |
9759s | out on top i mean the desk seemingly |
9761s | feeling like it's going to be a bit you |
9763s | know outlaw's favorite coming into this |
9764s | one we'll have to wait and see florida |
9766s | mayhem definitely need to uh level up a |
9768s | bit if they want to walk away victorious |
9770s | so fun fact the florida mayhem have not |
9772s | beaten the houston outlaws since uh 2020 |
9776s | week 21 which is i believe june the 28th |
9779s | of 2020 so it's been a damn long time |
9781s | now the last four times they've met |
9783s | which is uh the only four times they've |
9785s | met since that one when that since the |
9787s | win that florida mayhem blast on the |
9789s | mayhem uh other than the houston outlaws |
9791s | it's been all houston so houston's won |
9792s | four times in a row now it's a major win |
9794s | streak versus the florida mayhem that |
9796s | extends all the way back to 2020. um and |
9799s | right now i mean they've only played |
9800s | each other once so far that was a three |
9801s | and two victory but when you sort of |
9803s | look at the histories of the the two |
9805s | teams and the most recent games being |
9807s | played |
9808s | houston have had some close calls |
9809s | they've had i think it's what three |
9811s | five mappers in a row but they've always |
9813s | wanted that fifth nap they've always |
9815s | been able to clutch it through they beat |
9816s | boston new york atlanta as well so yeah |
9819s | i mean they go the distance i think this |
9821s | is a series that could go distances |
9823s | especially considering that florida |
9824s | mayhem did tank the houston houston |
9826s | distance before but i don't think the |
9828s | desks are wrong either because houston |
9829s | has looked like the better team in |
9830s | recent games considering uh florida's |
9832s | losses in their recent matches as well |
9835s | i mean hey if the soul dynasty can |
9837s | conquer their demons and you know break |
9838s | the law streak against the shanghai |
9840s | dragons then certainly anything becomes |
9841s | possible so maybe the florida mayhem can |
9843s | do the same here in a tournament setting |
9845s | just like we saw uh the dynasty able to |
9848s | do time will tell though but first we'll |
9849s | go ahead and start taking a look at our |
9851s | starting lineup starting with the side |
9853s | of the floor to mayhem see who they're |
9854s | gonna be fielding here for their initial |
9856s | five and uh go ahead take a look it's |
9858s | gonna be hydra then check me somewhat as |
9861s | you said uh rubble and then namo to |
9864s | round it all out so if this is |
9865s | interesting there's two things that |
9866s | interesting to me one is that hydrant is |
9867s | playing over xc now normally xe has been |
9870s | the starter for this team for some time |
9871s | now since he arrived for florida but |
9874s | oasis which is going to be opening matt |
9875s | for control is a very i think dive |
9877s | favored kind of map and hydron is kind |
9880s | of the tracer player of this team so he |
9881s | will be coming in to specialize on that |
9883s | role the other part that's interesting |
9885s | is the rupaul versus surma jet |
9887s | conversation who's going to get the play |
9889s | time because they've both been featured |
9891s | on the same position playing alongside |
9892s | animal in previous games and i think you |
9894s | know one match was so much going on in |
9896s | most of the play time one map it was one |
9898s | match rather it was rupaul they've also |
9899s | shared play time where they play the |
9901s | double flick support as well right but |
9902s | it does seem like now that we're moving |
9904s | forward a bit more make him a focusing |
9906s | more so on rupaul than sir majin |
9909s | let's see how they fare is not much kind |
9911s | of you know chilling back reclining in |
9913s | the scene a little bit further away uh |
9915s | from the cam then the rest of the |
9916s | players but you know he's in his comfort |
9918s | zone what leave does all the time he's |
9919s | like loosely goosey |
9922s | true |
9922s | four players and the one dude just like |
9925s | halfway to going to bed really |
9928s | yeah |
9930s | well enough about leaving players who |
9931s | aren't in this tournament let's go ahead |
9933s | and look at the starting roster the |
9935s | opposite side it's gonna be the houston |
9936s | outlaws starting five let's see what |
9938s | they have prepped for us uh here today |
9942s | just a bit of overwatch league law you |
9944s | know how it goes so dante starting |
9945s | things out uh there's two main looks for |
9947s | the houston outlaws that people are |
9949s | probably quite familiar with now and i |
9951s | mean you know exactly what you're in for |
9953s | depending on which tank is playing dante |
9955s | then it's gonna be do it's piggy most |
9957s | likely on the sigma that's their two |
9959s | go-to comp so if you can sort of figure |
9960s | out and how to navigate around those two |
9962s | looks from houston you've basically |
9964s | figured houston out easier said than |
9966s | done though like i said past three |
9968s | matches they've been close but houston |
9971s | have won all of them i do consider |
9973s | houston to be a bit of a gatekeeper team |
9974s | because they kind of beat everybody |
9977s | that's more of a mid-tier team or below |
9979s | them and they have also consistently |
9980s | lost to top of the table teams like |
9982s | glads and shock i don't think they've |
9983s | actually beaten them so far this year so |
9985s | houston outlaws they're they're a hard |
9987s | team to get past the desk likes to refer |
9989s | to the florida mayhem support with him |
9991s | so look if florida want to shake off |
9994s | that kind of reputation if they do have |
9996s | to get past the gatekeepers or the |
9997s | houston outlaws |
10000s | let's see if they're up to the task i |
10002s | mean obviously a bit of a gap between |
10004s | the two the 11th place first the sixth |
10006s | place coming into this event florida |
10008s | mayhem either punch up a little bit if |
10011s | they want to be victorious and break |
10012s | that lost streak but anything is |
10015s | certainly possible we just saw a fairly |
10016s | clean takedown of you know the atlanta |
10019s | reign of the hands of the london |
10020s | spitfire so maybe florida can just try |
10023s | to channel a bit of that similar energy |
10025s | come out swinging managed to catch them |
10027s | off guard time will tell we'll just have |
10029s | to wait and see what they do have |
10030s | prepared for us because you know they're |
10031s | already surprising us a little bit with |
10033s | the the roster selection where they want |
10035s | to try to focus this five-man core um |
10037s | and maybe that is going to be you know |
10039s | finding success right and the other |
10041s | thing that we do notice is that animo |
10042s | can play some of these flex supports as |
10044s | well so you know he's been flexible |
10046s | enough to also pick up the anna here or |
10047s | there so if they really need that |
10049s | secondary player that makes fault to |
10050s | step it up animal can do that so that'll |
10052s | be something to look out for i'll be |
10054s | interested in seeing what the rest of |
10055s | the players are going to pick up here |
10057s | like there's going to be a trace of |
10058s | genji sort of style here is hydron going |
10060s | to be you know looking more like an xe |
10062s | with the sojourn in which case you do |
10064s | start asking the question like well why |
10065s | isn't xe playing then if hydra just |
10068s | plays the surgeon i'm suspecting to be |
10069s | more so hyper and tracer then maybe a |
10071s | checkmate genji check my echo even we'll |
10073s | sort of see how we're getting i know |
10074s | it's not early us but he has shown that |
10076s | look in the past um someone most likely |
10078s | matches the doomfist i think florida |
10080s | mayhem have played so much doom in their |
10083s | previous matchups really his signature |
10085s | here so far has been like kind of doom |
10087s | and then bringing out the ryan on |
10089s | something like coliseum which is a map |
10090s | that i hope we get to because i think |
10092s | that is a very winnable map for the |
10094s | mayhem given that what i've looked at |
10096s | outlaws previous matches especially on |
10098s | push they've been great at new queen |
10099s | street but colossians always you know |
10102s | especially the previous match they've |
10103s | had had a little bit iffy for them |
10105s | they've not been consistent on the |
10106s | colleagues here so that could be an area |
10108s | for the mayhem to attack if they get a |
10109s | chance to play that map |
10111s | and this is one of the you know my |
10113s | favorite thing about the tournaments is |
10114s | it's not having just that set |
10116s | map list going into a match being able |
10119s | to you know draft if you do suffer a |
10121s | loss try to go for something that you |
10123s | know you find to be advantageous for |
10124s | yourself much like we saw the rain do |
10126s | with that pig on circuit royale so yeah |
10128s | always great to see in tournament play |
10130s | but let's take a closer look here at |
10131s | dante who of course has been piloting |
10133s | that doomfist more often than not |
10134s | absolutely so he's been one of the |
10136s | leading players on the fest as far as |
10138s | getting in early in the middle we |
10139s | remember that uh |
10142s | match in san antonio between the houston |
10144s | apples and dallas field right the |
10145s | beginning of the season right where |
10147s | dante kind of debuted his doomfist and |
10149s | they crushed the dallas fuel 3-0 that |
10150s | was |
10151s | a very shook it up that assume that |
10152s | we're quite ready for what dante was |
10154s | going to be bringing to the table this |
10155s | first time we saw the the tank dante as |
10158s | well |
10158s | and now that we're deeper into the |
10160s | season more players have sort of come up |
10162s | on that doomfist uh you had hawk as well |
10164s | that started very early on that doomfist |
10166s | but like we sort of |
10167s | seen in our last series here |
10169s | the doomfist power i think it's starting |
10171s | to dwindle by the time we get to the |
10172s | next patch we probably won't be playing |
10174s | doomfist at all because again he |
10175s | received a lot of nerfs on the beta2 |
10177s | patch currently on the beta one patch |
10178s | for the overwatch league so still a |
10180s | reasonable place for dante to come out |
10182s | on this uh someone will 100 be looking |
10184s | to match as another person that also |
10186s | mentioned is very very much leaning |
10188s | towards the doomfist now |
10191s | here is the map list as much as as we do |
10195s | know obviously with oasis starting |
10197s | things off on control and then from |
10198s | there the loser will select |
10201s | houston outlaws deciding to take us over |
10203s | to oasis to kick it all off |
10207s | yep |
10207s | see what happens when we get over |
10209s | towards |
10210s | university as well because i think the |
10212s | flexibility of the florida mayhem on |
10214s | their tank which is someone that plays |
10216s | everything across the board much like |
10218s | smurf over on seoul dynasty they have |
10220s | the options of playing more main tank |
10221s | options like the winston like the ryan |
10223s | especially on university we actually got |
10225s | university straight off the rip |
10227s | good to see you question mark now is |
10229s | someone going to go straight for the |
10230s | rhine because that's not something that |
10232s | houston outlaws can immediately go to |
10233s | with |
10235s | dante we will be loading into the game |
10237s | here in just a moment like you said |
10239s | university to go ahead and kick it all |
10242s | off |
10243s | as the players begin communicating with |
10245s | each other |
10249s | i also look towards pelican |
10250s | as uh as a major difference maker here |
10253s | as well the pocket says i'm shy |
10256s | he uh |
10257s | i've been peeking a little bit of |
10259s | pelican and some of the team content |
10261s | uh |
10262s | and his english has been really |
10265s | staggering actually that was massively |
10267s | improved from last year so good to see |
10268s | pelican |
10270s | really getting comfortable |
10271s | on the next rosters on the n8 teams |
10273s | rookie of the year from last year one of |
10275s | the most impressive players that we have |
10276s | in the league |
10277s | and uh a major problem for teams like |
10280s | florida making to deal with so someone's |
10282s | actually going to come out and do first |
10283s | early lucid moira |
10285s | not too sure if i'm a major fan of lucio |
10286s | moore but it is one of the support looks |
10288s | that this team has |
10290s | had a lot of play time on but one of the |
10291s | questions is answered here that's gonna |
10292s | be hydraulic tracer check my genji |
10296s | all right |
10297s | battle commencing already it's gonna be |
10299s | houston outside outlaw's able to find |
10300s | first blood but it will get traded back |
10302s | at 2-2 thus far as lastro and iris are |
10304s | gone to the outlaws now without their |
10306s | supports merits still managing to find |
10307s | checkmate however the trade-up comes in |
10309s | but it's quickly traded back dante will |
10311s | get an ammo on the back end of the fight |
10313s | all of this death all of this bloodshed |
10316s | before the point is even unlocked now it |
10317s | has dante for now just trying to keep |
10319s | things contested merritt manages to get |
10321s | that rail across it's hydrant in the |
10323s | skull |
10324s | kill onto the tracer now houston outlaws |
10326s | posturing forward should be able to get |
10327s | this initial lock down the point |
10330s | yep cap goes forward checkmate by the |
10331s | way swaps over towards that echo so |
10332s | another one of those looks that i |
10333s | mentioned that could happen for somebody |
10335s | like checkmate wants to play up against |
10337s | pelican i think merritt is going to be |
10339s | someone that's hard to deal with |
10340s | considering rail shots onto everybody |
10341s | it's going to be pretty deadly pushing |
10343s | out also |
10344s | double kill from pelicans beautiful |
10345s | stuff |
10347s | he comes out of the pit is instantly |
10348s | greeted by the sticky bombs that an |
10350s | anti-nade goes down quickly thereafter |
10352s | pelican cleaning them up three in the |
10353s | fight looking for a little bit more the |
10355s | beam will be good as pelican scoops up |
10358s | four kills i do believe there |
10361s | get that |
10362s | outlaws winning the follow-up fight now |
10364s | already at 30 |
10365s | there's a lot of pressure on to someone |
10367s | here as well i mean both of these echo |
10368s | players |
10369s | trying to beam down not in the tanks but |
10371s | when you get the stickies onto the back |
10372s | line as well |
10374s | massive damage output high jump with the |
10376s | pulse bomb available has been spotted |
10378s | though so this would be tough |
10381s | okay pulse from hydra not gonna be able |
10382s | to find any picks would have been |
10384s | crucial here for the floor may have to |
10385s | be able to pass it forward try to get |
10387s | this flip going through someone slept in |
10389s | the front line ends up going down |
10390s | pelican finding that elimination |
10392s | as checkmate tries to play forward but |
10394s | merritt says no catches him with a rail |
10396s | hydrant will be able to find one |
10398s | with the front line broken down and i'll |
10400s | now anthony now finished off by lastro |
10402s | the cleanup comes through houston |
10403s | outlaws they will be holding firmly not |
10406s | letting this point slip out of their |
10407s | grasp and the thing about playing lucio |
10408s | mara is you have to be a super fast team |
10410s | and ideally you're building up these uh |
10412s | coalescences mega quickly as well |
10415s | but uh so far florida mayhem haven't |
10417s | been able to get enough frags in these |
10418s | fights haven't lasted long enough so |
10420s | still waiting for ultimates to come on |
10421s | through had the pulse bomb hydrant went |
10423s | for probably the more difficult pulse on |
10424s | the back line the ease one would have |
10426s | been on to dante before he finds that |
10427s | media strike right but sometimes you do |
10429s | have to make the high risk high reward |
10430s | play |
10431s | battle coming through now he's not going |
10433s | to find the ante but a rupal gonna be |
10434s | taken down dante finding that |
10435s | elimination merit getting check made as |
10437s | well |
10438s | and then the kills come through and i |
10440s | mean we fight by territory and almost |
10442s | the only one who's still alive he may be |
10444s | good for a touch here but doesn't have a |
10446s | sound barrier for an extended fight or |
10448s | takes his weight up doesn't stand he |
10450s | forced out but is instantly melted down |
10452s | the ot now bleeding away someone trying |
10454s | to get there but he cannot and it's just |
10456s | gonna be alt pop in celebration from the |
10458s | side of the houston outlaws didn't |
10459s | really have to use too many of them a |
10461s | hundred to zero as they close out of |
10463s | university i'm excited speaking of |
10465s | ultimates there florida mayhem only used |
10468s | a total of one ultimate that entire map |
10471s | oh my god just the pulse bomb the other |
10473s | four members didn't get an ultimate |
10475s | didn't get it animo died on 99 no sound |
10477s | barrier |
10478s | i mentioned that this is a team that has |
10480s | to go quickly you have to pay for coal |
10481s | rushes you have to play off the back of |
10483s | coal that's just never had one for |
10484s | report just didn't get one so take a |
10486s | look at this double kill coming through |
10487s | now yeah just a bunch of stickies landed |
10490s | some help from dante there as well |
10492s | uh and then just drop it in the the beam |
10494s | so |
10496s | we |
10497s | for the floor of mayhem to to get this |
10499s | lucio moira off the ground |
10501s | their pacing has to be far greater than |
10503s | you know so i think they started well |
10504s | right they they got the initial double |
10506s | trade on the back line with the irish |
10508s | and last year kills heiress rather and |
10509s | last row kills but they couldn't convert |
10511s | that into a win because they lost three |
10513s | members themselves the double dps plus |
10515s | one tank alive for the houston outlaws |
10516s | ended up doing enough damage and you |
10518s | know i do enjoy bringing this that up uh |
10520s | speaking of dante didn't die at all on |
10522s | university zero deaths |
10524s | yeah |
10525s | i just |
10526s | claimed doomfist's performance from him |
10529s | florida mayhem definitely need to level |
10530s | up as we get ready to go into that |
10532s | second round i believe it's city center |
10535s | let's see how they fare and whether or |
10537s | not they can extend this all the way |
10538s | into garden but that is uh |
10542s | a bit of a rough start to say the least |
10544s | i'm going to be feeling pretty shaken |
10547s | let me outline what needs to happen here |
10548s | for florida making firstly i i do think |
10550s | they probably should still be going for |
10551s | the uh tp play the pelican is going so |
10554s | expect hydra to change over to sim |
10555s | really quick for that but because |
10556s | they're playing lucio moira again which |
10558s | i think has a bit of problem with |
10560s | verticality on this particular map i |
10562s | well not more so than houston playing |
10564s | anna zen but hear me out for a second |
10566s | here they need to off the rip on the |
10569s | neutral |
10570s | have a very successful opening fight |
10573s | where they prevent houston outlaws from |
10574s | gaining control on the mega pack so it's |
10577s | not coastal the mega pap pack jump pad |
10579s | side of things because that's where iris |
10581s | and last year iris rather and lasher |
10582s | want to be staying and holding up on for |
10585s | the majority of the city center so |
10587s | florida mayhem can control that side of |
10589s | the map they prevent houston outlaws |
10590s | from playing their game plan if florida |
10592s | mayhem failed at opening neutral houston |
10594s | going to get the high ground and flora |
10596s | will find it difficult to reclaim that |
10597s | high ground again |
10600s | we should have the players readying up |
10602s | here in just a moment not quite sure |
10603s | exactly what the issue is but hopefully |
10606s | everything's been taken care of just |
10607s | mandated banter you're not back in here |
10608s | you just got to pause some mandated |
10610s | banter then you know get back in so a |
10612s | little bit a little bit of uh you know |
10614s | small talk before before business hours |
10617s | before the bulk of business begins |
10619s | i think they i think they figured you |
10621s | know what achilles is casting this one |
10623s | he's the he's the pause king every time |
10625s | he casts there's gotta be a pause so |
10627s | let's just go ahead and throw one if |
10629s | hello if hydra doesn't tp okay is he |
10631s | going for it if he doesn't do it i think |
10633s | they'll be slow out uh on the rollout so |
10636s | yeah |
10639s | they have a speed boost they have that |
10640s | over the hustle so this might be a |
10642s | little bit more even but |
10643s | uh the opening roller from florida is |
10646s | not going to be checking mega side with |
10647s | that thing said hydrant is kind of there |
10649s | you can see the double supports are |
10650s | using outlaws already going towards jump |
10652s | pad |
10653s | there comes someone on the back someone |
10655s | moving forward puts the fists up to try |
10657s | to stay protected but still as soon as |
10659s | the fist comes down merrick greets him |
10661s | with a rail finds a head shot checkmate |
10663s | checkmate cleaning up two man used to |
10665s | find both of supports once more using |
10667s | outlaws losing their supports at the |
10668s | start of the fight but can they continue |
10670s | to win it out we'll have to just wait |
10671s | and see |
10672s | point now |
10673s | can take him down then it goes through |
10674s | merit finds hydro but then he quickly |
10676s | falls afterwards |
10678s | uh or |
10679s | with the cleanup on the dante it seems |
10680s | like florida mayhem will find their |
10681s | first ounce of percentage here on this |
10683s | first map yeah i took the scenic route |
10685s | here i thought i think hughsaw maybe a |
10686s | little it seemed like maybe they were a |
10688s | little slow to get up on top getting uh |
10691s | was it |
10692s | it was last year on the zen getting him |
10694s | down super early was a big boom for the |
10696s | florida making like you sort of |
10697s | mentioned getting supports down but this |
10698s | time florida mayhem have enough members |
10700s | alive they can take hold of the |
10701s | permanent damage and no healing |
10705s | iris under some fire trying to stay |
10706s | alive pelican and merritt each able to |
10708s | find an elimination merit finds a second |
10710s | with someone going down huge cleanup is |
10713s | now it's just the supports left alive |
10714s | and uh yeah not long for this world the |
10717s | cleanup is there on the guananamo i mean |
10718s | he could try to play a little bit longer |
10720s | but merritt gets the headshot all the |
10722s | same the flip is there it's a rather |
10723s | fast one just 31 established here for |
10726s | the mayhem ripple going over towards the |
10728s | anna here as well so they've changed |
10730s | they're going to be changing up their |
10731s | play style you know not just kind of |
10733s | rushing in anymore also supporting |
10734s | someone on the winston important this is |
10736s | one of the extra looks that mayhem cam |
10738s | pulled up that the houston outlaws can't |
10739s | do a map like this so i do think winston |
10741s | is a great place on this map this will |
10743s | hopefully help out the floor to make him |
10744s | a lot but they are otherwise behind |
10746s | especially ultimates |
10748s | and once more than looking for iris |
10749s | appeal is going to be there hell kid |
10750s | comes up with an elimination let's check |
10752s | mate the beam nothing that again you |
10753s | could do against that one |
10755s | ends up going down now the overclock |
10758s | drop down looking for a little bit more |
10760s | squats hydro the shot not going to break |
10762s | but he's just going to reset off the |
10763s | side of the map yeah i mean and that's |
10764s | going to give me the extra old |
10765s | percentage over to you so completely |
10769s | let's talk about the fact that was a |
10770s | super quick overclock coming through i |
10771s | believe that was one of if not the first |
10773s | ultimate online between both teams maybe |
10775s | hydra got a pulse bomb slightly early |
10777s | but he is on a tracer that's expected |
10779s | we'll just pull out the overclock very |
10780s | quickly not a lot that florida can do |
10782s | against it and this is kind of what i |
10784s | mentioned right once using outlaws can |
10785s | park themselves up on this side of the |
10787s | map can be pretty difficult to dislodge |
10789s | as we saw from previous fights |
10792s | oh look at the lobby on iris not gonna |
10794s | get that connection dante |
10796s | slept after the meteor strike |
10798s | last year though rally rolling trying to |
10799s | keep everybody alive and i drawn oh boy |
10802s | punched into oncoming traffic dante |
10805s | shuts him down finds checkmate as well |
10807s | to deal with the dps duo houston outlaws |
10810s | quite handily win the team fight they |
10812s | get the team kill full cop moving up |
10814s | above 80 |
10815s | poor car says dante not for hydra poor |
10819s | car |
10820s | yeah |
10822s | i don't know if you can get that one |
10822s | fixed in time but i don't know how |
10824s | florida can fix this situation they |
10825s | would love to wait for nanoblade but i |
10827s | don't think they can they just have to |
10828s | go with it now they're being aggressive |
10830s | dante's just indeed |
10832s | i mean the blade is pulled from |
10833s | checkmate he's looking for an |
10834s | elimination he will manage to find last |
10836s | straw but then he gets taken down |
10838s | merritt grades him with a rail primal |
10840s | rolling from someone manages to cleave |
10842s | down two |
10843s | good eliminations found pelican gonna be |
10844s | knocked knocked out of his duplicate |
10846s | takes right back up to the skies but |
10848s | someone hounds him down huge kills off |
10850s | the primal blade which is gonna be there |
10852s | florida mayhem not going down without a |
10853s | fight but the outlaws have time on their |
10855s | side yeah it's one of the blades that'll |
10856s | pop up there the one with the over a |
10858s | thousand hp is gonna get the work done |
10859s | so good to see come through for the |
10861s | floor to make him this is kind of the |
10862s | issue with having rupaul do |
10864s | a reasonably late swap he starts on |
10866s | towards the moyer they give up on that |
10867s | strategy goes towards anna but not |
10869s | enough time to build a banana so no nano |
10870s | blade no net on someone either he'll |
10872s | receive the nano now which they |
10874s | desperately need for this fight |
10876s | looking for dante he rotates over he's |
10878s | grabbing back up into the mega pack |
10880s | keeps himself safe merit in the meantime |
10881s | finds rupaul and shot off the rail gets |
10884s | an ammo as well the support's now taken |
10886s | down iris traded pulse bomb out from |
10888s | hydra not going to be able to find |
10889s | anything the shield was raised from last |
10890s | row |
10892s | safe the flip getting ready to come |
10893s | through i can check mate both gonna be |
10895s | taken down someone the only one |
10896s | occupying the point right now needs to |
10898s | try to stay alive jumps over the side |
10900s | trying to play elusively but he just |
10902s | doesn't have anything left to work with |
10904s | that one now gonna be taken out once |
10906s | more the ot bleeding away steadily and |
10908s | that will be the closeout houston |
10910s | outlaws a very clean start a bit of a |
10912s | back and forth here on city center but |
10914s | they get the 2-0 victory on oasis and |
10917s | the back and forth is largely down to |
10918s | the fact that someone on that primal |
10920s | rage is able to do so much with that |
10922s | ultimate but otherwise it's a cleanup |
10923s | from the houston outlaws they lose one |
10925s | fight they come back stronger on to the |
10927s | next merit on to the sojourn as deadly |
10930s | as ever mentioned at the previous |
10931s | broadcaster has mentioned on the desk |
10933s | before but statistically the best ocean |
10935s | that we have in the league and starts to |
10937s | show why i mean he just gets these shots |
10939s | in so cleanly so accurately and florida |
10942s | mayhem you know this is the issue i have |
10944s | the lucio moriah sort of lineup here is |
10946s | it's just so one dimensional and the |
10948s | fact that they got outpaced on that |
10950s | opening university really says a lot |
10952s | because lucio morris meant to be one of |
10953s | the fastest comps you need to be a super |
10955s | fast team and florida mayhem didn't even |
10958s | get ultimates only hydra got an ultimate |
10959s | the other four didn't get a single alt |
10963s | yeah it was really a rough going for |
10965s | them but now this is going to at least |
10967s | give the florida mayhem their map pick |
10969s | we'll see where they decide to take us |
10970s | for hybrid and come back from the break |
10972s | and see whether or not it's going to be |
10973s | good enough for them to go ahead and net |
10975s | themselves a map when tie things up one |
10978s | to one the action is going to continue |
10979s | here at the mid-season madness |
10981s | tournament when we return so do not go |
10982s | anywhere |
10989s | [Music] |
11000s | do |
11004s | [Music] |
11027s | do |

11215s | [Music] |
11237s | [Applause] |
11244s | all righty we are back and right now the |
11246s | outlaws looking hot merit especially on |
11249s | this soldier and putting out uh an |
11251s | absolutely stellar performance in that |
11252s | first map of oasis |
11254s | and 59 railgun accuracy as well is |
11257s | exceptionally high i mean anything above |
11258s | 50 |
11259s | is |
11260s | i i think is the standard for an |
11262s | overwatch league level sergeant player |
11264s | with i but i don't know if this is still |
11266s | the same i'll have to get nowhere to |
11267s | double check for me but last that i |
11269s | checked shai was leading globally number |
11271s | one in terms of railcon accuracy at 60 i |
11274s | believe one percent 61 so the only |
11276s | player that was above 60 which is |
11278s | unbelievable as an average across all |
11279s | their games but merit being at 59 look |
11281s | he's one percent off of that on justice |
11283s | map so far which is great to see and uh |
11285s | it really shows you statistically why |
11287s | he's so far up the table as far as |
11289s | sojourn performance goes and that should |
11291s | continue for the rest of the series here |
11293s | as we're about to hit in the next map |
11294s | which is going to be a hybrid picker |
11296s | coming in for that and you know if |
11298s | piggy's in you're pretty much guaranteed |
11299s | to see him play the sigma |
11302s | that you are has been his specialty for |
11305s | quite some time ever since he made his |
11307s | debut here on the outlaws we'll see how |
11309s | he fares now no changes on the side of |
11311s | the floor to mayhem though just gonna be |
11312s | sticking with the same five as midtown |
11314s | is their map selection for hybrid and i |
11317s | have questions about uh the lack of |
11319s | substitution for florida maine because |
11320s | this is the way you would definitely |
11321s | normally see xen he usually comes in to |
11324s | play the socialist map i can understand |
11325s | the high drum pick for the tracer on |
11327s | oaxis but does this mean hydro is either |
11329s | going to be playing more strikes on |
11331s | midtown or is he going to be the one |
11333s | pick up sojourn to try and match merit |
11334s | on midtown what you're going to see from |
11336s | the florida mayhem by default should be |
11338s | a doom but i have also noted that |
11340s | someone's been playing a lot of ryan |
11341s | this map as well so if you're reading |
11343s | this matchup correctly ashford mayhem |
11345s | you're mcgravy your gumber you're |
11346s | looking at houston outlaws you're |
11347s | thinking piggy's going to play here it |
11349s | is going to be sigma can we run this |
11350s | over with the rhine cop so that's why |
11352s | we're looking at checkmate going over |
11353s | towards the may and well hydro is going |
11355s | to be playing over towards sojourn which |
11357s | begs me the question of |
11359s | shouldn't xc be in here right to me that |
11361s | that is what they'd shown previously so |
11362s | this is a bit of a departure |
11366s | changing it up |
11368s | catching us off guard a little bit |
11370s | perhaps but the question is will it |
11372s | catch |
11372s | the houston outlaws off guard right now |
11375s | and justin by the way because piggy just |
11377s | hovered the rhine with what they |
11379s | consider that as well that had been here |
11381s | that ryan that had been here that piggy |
11383s | was thinking about uh he has been |
11385s | showing a little bit and famously he did |
11387s | actually beat i believe london spitfire |
11390s | in the right matchup versus hardy early |
11391s | on this kick of clash now on circle |
11393s | round but that's been a while since |
11394s | we've seen that he's going to come out |
11396s | on towards the winston but with piggy |
11398s | backing back out is it ryan it is right |
11401s | they're gonna go for the mirror |
11401s | interesting i do enjoy that though i |
11403s | think that's the right paul sigma might |
11405s | be a little slow here |
11406s | winston uh i mean it could work but |
11409s | you're probably relying more so on |
11411s | seeing if mary can get the job done |
11412s | early and i think this is just mostly |
11415s | houston back to themselves and saying |
11416s | okay florida you want to play ryan we're |
11418s | confident we can beat you here |
11421s | wall coming up pelican looking to try to |
11422s | cut some people off takes that rail from |
11424s | the flank and immediately has to go into |
11426s | the ice block to try to stay alive |
11427s | immortality feels going to be committed |
11428s | as well |
11429s | huge pick that one up and pelican gets |
11431s | the headshot a massive kill now they |
11433s | look for a little bit more and they will |
11435s | get them last year chasing deep |
11436s | alongside the may they get the kill onto |
11438s | an almo last we're gonna be cleaning up |
11439s | the second one as well as checkmate will |
11441s | fall that is point a broken open and |
11444s | that is gonna be a massive time bank to |
11446s | try to chew through for the florida |
11447s | mayhem on this defense yeah insanely |
11449s | good start i mean pelican getting that |
11450s | opening kill as well you have to |
11451s | remember so much of the strength for the |
11453s | atlanta reign last year in 2021 when |
11455s | they played these brawl matchups is |
11457s | pelicans may plus heiresses back that's |
11459s | now back but it's on a different team |
11461s | it's with the houston outlaws merit |
11463s | still gets the pound on the sojourn |
11465s | gets himself on alive i think for now |
11468s | piggy just free swinging here as the |
11470s | wall goes down pelican does get |
11472s | eliminated piggy just pulling back away |
11474s | trying to stay alive so there's plenty |
11476s | of barrier health |
11477s | fire strike not going to be enough to |
11479s | try to threaten so you can see the wall |
11480s | coming up trying to lock them inside the |
11482s | firehouse for now |
11484s | first ultimates coming online as well |
11485s | notably that someone actually has |
11487s | greater alt charge than piggy on that |
11489s | rhine shatter it could be a difference |
11490s | maker if you channel those did not read |
11492s | this correctly |
11494s | especially |
11496s | is for free he messes up the pin however |
11498s | and the immortality field comes through |
11500s | through not gonna be able to find a kill |
11502s | off the back end of that but does at |
11503s | least go up the works a little bit by |
11505s | some extra time lastro |
11507s | throwing out the right click trying to |
11508s | keep him out of arm's distance but over |
11510s | extended end up falling and he has a |
11512s | little bit ends up dying the blizzard's |
11514s | gonna be dropped in here by pelican |
11515s | checkmate not trying to match okay |
11517s | finding an elimination three kills |
11519s | coming through his merit claims two for |
11521s | himself but it's just a back and forth |
11522s | brawl with two people left standing |
11524s | enemies at all |
11526s | he's just hugging again he's still |
11528s | hurting himself |
11529s | into place |
11530s | but that's not why himself but uh he he |
11532s | locks the payload for like one second |
11535s | and that's cost florida make him 10 |
11537s | seconds worth of time for a one second |
11539s | payload lock |
11540s | absolutely rubbish trade and for the |
11542s | florida man wouldn't go for that |
11543s | speaking of rubbish trades checkmate go |
11545s | for the hero blizzard what on earth is |
11547s | that i don't really think florida would |
11549s | have been able to win up that hero |
11550s | blizzard that's a little too far |
11552s | there's a back-to-back hero plays |
11554s | attempted here from either side of the |
11557s | support from the dps neither of them |
11559s | really working out now houston outlaws |
11560s | get the card moving and they got an |
11561s | immense amount of space to work with us |
11565s | the wall cuts off the exit beautifully |
11567s | timed |
11568s | is picky looking for a little bit more |
11570s | won't be able to get any kills there but |
11572s | i mean look at this it's just free push |
11574s | for the side of the real estate record |
11576s | time no contest to be had |
11580s | but the cap is already there it's nearly |
11582s | five minutes in the time bank the pin |
11584s | comes through and an ammo back to back |
11585s | questionable plays drops the beat no |
11588s | hope in the world whatsoever to try to |
11590s | get that contest |
11591s | and now the outlaws are just cruising |
11594s | i'm gonna i'm gonna contradict that i |
11596s | would not blame anima on that one that's |
11597s | a team call if you're going to recontest |
11599s | you're going as a team but you need to |
11601s | be able to go fast enough that someone's |
11602s | going to touch in time the sound barrier |
11604s | is fine the fact that no one could touch |
11606s | is the major problem there so i don't |
11608s | think that's necessary animals fault but |
11609s | it's not a good play for the mayhem |
11611s | i mean either way it's a |
11612s | misidentification as to whether or not |
11614s | they're going to be able to get there in |
11615s | time so |
11616s | you can go ahead and blame the entire |
11617s | team if you feel necessary i suppose |
11619s | there's checkmate again gonna be taken |
11621s | out long pin just dragging piggy over to |
11624s | the flank tries to drop down manages to |
11626s | get three man stun but can they get the |
11627s | kills in the back end picking the first |
11629s | one to fall someone does manage to swing |
11630s | away takes out iris looks for a little |
11633s | bit more fire strike not gonna find the |
11635s | kill goes for the deep charge merit with |
11637s | the slippers he does get taken down by |
11638s | hydrant in the end and fond of the |
11639s | florida mayhem will be able to stop this |
11642s | car in its tracks yeah four more minutes |
11643s | of this |
11644s | uh in houston outlaws have plenty of |
11646s | time to build up charge in terms of the |
11648s | ultimates to get towards the end should |
11650s | be still looking at a cap the question |
11651s | mark would be what kind of time back is |
11652s | available rupaul instantly out with the |
11654s | window |
11657s | there's two walls blocking keep them |
11658s | locked back |
11660s | just trying to buy as much |
11662s | space and as much time as they possibly |
11664s | can three and a half minutes left the |
11666s | time make now for the side of the |
11667s | houston outlaws last row dropping the |
11669s | beat as they look to go aggressively but |
11671s | i don't know if too many people will |
11672s | receive that shielding or it was taken |
11674s | down rather quickly wall comes up though |
11676s | they're looking to take out someone |
11678s | falls lower and lower the immortality |
11679s | feel they were fighting an immense |
11680s | amount of value there for the side of |
11682s | the floor to mayhem checkmate gets |
11683s | pelican but now |
11685s | opens it up finds both of the dps with |
11688s | the overclock the nade's gonna go down |
11690s | shatter dropped it picky gonna be |
11692s | stunned up there for a moment but it is |
11693s | going to be someone who falls as merritt |
11694s | claims the third in the fight looks for |
11696s | a little bit more gets the head shot |
11698s | onto an ammo there's the fourth can he |
11699s | get the last one no he cannot pick he |
11701s | will take it for himself the ace gonna |
11703s | be denied away but the houston outlaws |
11704s | finally managed |
11706s | they get this push going once more it's |
11708s | still too many individual hero players |
11710s | coming through checkmate goes for |
11711s | another hero blizzard that the entire |
11713s | houston elders just ignore because |
11714s | merrick's already on the front lines |
11715s | he's already overclocking someone goes |
11717s | for a hero share that it's just not |
11718s | gonna do enough the team they've already |
11720s | lost a team fight |
11722s | the blizzard coming through overclock |
11724s | now out from hydra needs to find some |
11725s | immense value but the shadow gets |
11726s | dropped in from piggy and the kills just |
11729s | comes spilling forth on the back end of |
11731s | it all and ammo now trying to dive |
11734s | forward but once more just does not have |
11736s | that beat available gives his life for a |
11739s | final touch two minutes and 17 seconds |
11741s | left as they complete the map outlaws on |
11744s | an absolute tear and i think that the |
11746s | key moment here for me is that b-side uh |
11749s | defense which ended up being capped |
11752s | through i i don't know if i officially |
11753s | call that a cena i guess it is because |
11755s | you florida were all one side defense oh |
11758s | wow yeah it's a good call |
11760s | it was more like a b-side offense at |
11762s | times because florida went hard aggro on |
11764s | towards the b-sides uh the beast |
11766s | attacking spawn for houston right see |
11767s | someone literally walking and kneeling |
11769s | to the houston spawn he gets mega |
11771s | punished that's not something that can |
11773s | afford to be happening for the florida |
11774s | make him because that ruins the tempo of |
11776s | the defense entirely but i i think the |
11779s | call to do the sound barry into the |
11781s | final fight on b was correct they just |
11783s | didn't end up touching the payload now |
11784s | have they won that fight i think they |
11786s | were favored to considering that when we |
11787s | got to see they did end up winning that |
11789s | fight and then initiating a spawn hold |
11791s | on see |
11792s | that was a |
11793s | very winnable situation for the florida |
11795s | mayhem that just needed to happen one |
11797s | fight earlier so that houston outlaws |
11799s | aren't spawning right out of sea they're |
11801s | spawning all the way back at b instead |
11805s | take a look back at this shatter i mean |
11807s | yeah |
11808s | the funniest part about the shadow is |
11810s | someone got hit but because he got |
11812s | frozen first he never got put on the |
11813s | ground he's just standing there like an |
11815s | ice block get a |
11817s | little ice cube |
11820s | but uh in any case we can talk about the |
11822s | fact that piggy with the |
11824s | capability to bring the sigma that's his |
11826s | key signature pick here the pigment |
11828s | flora mayhem i think that the right call |
11830s | here would be to identify the sigma go |
11831s | back to spawn and go towards the rhine |
11833s | and uh try and |
11835s | i guess outplay this sigma composition |
11837s | with the rhine comp instead but they're |
11838s | going to go loosely moira |
11840s | and uh well they're dead |
11842s | merritt finds a headshot |
11844s | once more someone also low tucks over |
11847s | into the corner of the contest starting |
11848s | to track having the outlaws yeah just |
11850s | continue to come up with kill after kill |
11852s | that's three for them in the fight the |
11853s | rest of the florida mayhem scrambling to |
11855s | try to exit |
11857s | and uh and i'm always out in the middle |
11858s | of they're gonna they're gonna |
11862s | this is going to cost him so much time i |
11863s | think for the floor to make him uh what |
11865s | we did see there is the the high |
11867s | progression on to aries despite losing a |
11869s | player that's a good call to make |
11870s | because if you can trade that player |
11872s | then instantly die and reset you're |
11873s | going to have a 5v4 as iris slowly makes |
11875s | his way back from spawn but they failed |
11877s | to get the kill great pocketing by last |
11878s | through and then secondarily even if |
11880s | they got the kill animo stags themselves |
11881s | so it wouldn't have helped them |
11886s | all right well |
11887s | second attempt see unfairs but the |
11889s | supports already under fire hovering |
11891s | around 50 hp someone going forward |
11893s | trying to get that punch across it again |
11895s | again |
11896s | this man's headshot accuracy with these |
11898s | rails is absolutely insane |
11902s | comes up with another kill hydrant taken |
11903s | down up into the air doesn't quite get |
11905s | the tracking there to finish off but not |
11906s | moving doesn't matter fun fact it's on |
11908s | top of them |
11909s | got a great fun fact for you you know |
11910s | how we we we finished the oasis with 59 |
11914s | rail accuracy for merit currently |
11915s | halfway through or just slightly over |
11917s | halfway through midtown he's sitting on |
11919s | 63. so he's improved by four percent |
11921s | he's crested over 60 which is the |
11923s | important thing that that was a very key |
11926s | uh milestone that i didn't mention for |
11928s | surgeon players |
11930s | well let's see want to keep a key |
11932s | another opening for everyone's just dead |
11934s | i mean marriage just looks at him and he |
11935s | dies it's i mean it's just an explosion |
11937s | of dashes |
11938s | this is the same thing we saw on oasis |
11941s | it's this kind of lucio moira run at the |
11944s | other team hope for the best type of |
11946s | composition and i truly think revisiting |
11948s | this they've already shown that they can |
11950s | play the right yeah okay did they lose |
11951s | the rhine battle maybe but the the ryan |
11954s | matchup versus the sigma i think is a |
11956s | reasonable matchup for the ryan the fact |
11957s | that they don't choose to do that seems |
11959s | to be really weird and here's the other |
11960s | thing if you snowball that one let's say |
11961s | you beat piggy sigma with your ryan and |
11963s | houston swap ryan as well you've |
11964s | snowballed you just lost another play it |
11966s | doesn't it's not even merit but it |
11967s | doesn't matter |
11970s | okay they get a stick hydrant doesn't |
11971s | manage to find an opening kill and it's |
11972s | on the merit which is probably the |
11973s | highest value target that he can get at |
11975s | this point |
11976s | but everybody else is still alive |
11978s | and they now have five volts for this |
11980s | defense with a million 25 seconds left |
11982s | to go looking for the full hold |
11984s | for mayhem |
11988s | florida need ultimates as well but they |
11989s | just they need to get them now |
11992s | someone's already had to use this |
11995s | okay well there's the opener |
11998s | coalescence going through matched by the |
11999s | transcendence from last row now the nano |
12001s | boost gonna be used on a pelican as the |
12002s | blade comes in and he instantly dashes |
12004s | through finds one checkmate with his own |
12006s | blade will find merit |
12007s | hell kid looking for a little bit more |
12009s | it's gonna be good enough they get the |
12011s | cleanup just the two kills we found |
12013s | florida mayhem gonna have to reset that |
12015s | was everything invested houston outlaws |
12017s | still hold on to the overclock and now |
12019s | it's 45 seconds remaining and the |
12020s | overclock is probably enough to finish |
12022s | this as well i think for florida there |
12023s | the best case scenario is they burn |
12025s | minimum ultimate and force maximum |
12027s | ultimate expenditure out of houston |
12028s | outlaws here it's a pretty even trade |
12030s | and even then houston finishes with one |
12032s | exactly it ends up being a really even |
12034s | trade so that that works for houston's |
12036s | favor florida do not win economically |
12039s | trying to get the accretion hit can't |
12041s | quite get someone but pelican just finds |
12043s | two he gets a third |
12045s | of the barrett now with the overclock |
12046s | rolling trying to track down hydra he |
12048s | does play a little bit more elusively |
12049s | but merritt has to clean up the last two |
12051s | kills going his way there's the team |
12054s | kill it's 10 seconds remaining someone |
12056s | has respawned but can he get the touch |
12058s | i'll have to just wait and see the |
12060s | houston outlaws they're playing so very |
12062s | far forward |
12063s | and no they're not going to be able to |
12065s | make it there in time yes a full hold in |
12067s | reply houston outlaws making it look |
12069s | easy just speeding their way through |
12072s | this series now at match point and just |
12075s | like atlanta rain in that first series |
12077s | the mayhem are in a position where they |
12079s | need to reverse sweep |
12081s | and this is where you know you look at |
12083s | what florida mayhem are choosing to do |
12085s | especially on that attack and also on |
12086s | awakeness and you're like if dallas fuel |
12088s | are not succeeding and not finding |
12090s | victories with their own lucio maria and |
12092s | they are like the lucho moro team having |
12095s | rush pioneer that composition last year |
12098s | what hope can you have that this is |
12100s | gonna work for you i just do not think |
12102s | that's a good composition to play it |
12104s | just it doesn't have enough and i think |
12106s | they had the answer in front of them i'm |
12107s | just so surprised that ryan wasn't the |
12109s | answer to play against picking now we'll |
12111s | move forward by the way for future map |
12113s | map choices |
12114s | florida better not pick circuit because |
12116s | i don't think you want to be playing |
12117s | sigma into pigment anymore you need to |
12118s | be picking something that's not circuit |
12120s | royale |
12121s | for sure well you can see keyboard being |
12124s | wrapped up there xz walking across the |
12125s | screen so i think that kind of tells us |
12127s | you know what's going to be happening |
12128s | here in the very near future as far as |
12130s | the lineup is concerned from the side of |
12132s | the mayhem we'll see if there's going to |
12133s | be any additional changes on top of that |
12135s | you know what the map pick is going to |
12136s | be because it needs to be a good one and |
12138s | it needs to get them a win if they want |
12140s | to stay alive in this series a reverse |
12141s | sweep is what is necessary unless they |
12143s | want to fall down to that loser's |
12144s | bracket we'll see if they can make it |
12145s | work when we come back from the break |

12394s | and welcome back guys it's no better |
12397s | time than now and as we have the |
12398s | mid-season madness finally officially |
12400s | kicked off make sure to submit your art |
12402s | celebrating your favorite team your |
12404s | favorite region whatever it is we know |
12405s | it's apec you know as far as favorite |
12407s | regions are concerned uh |
12409s | go ahead and submit your artwork we want |
12411s | to see what you guys have for us and |
12413s | look at it all on overwatch league in |
12415s | the fan art gallery and have your stuff |
12417s | featured i already had some nice fan art |
12419s | earlier on twitter which was great so |
12421s | thank you much to the artist who made a |
12422s | nice little doodle about me |
12424s | uh okay yeah very cute how do i get a |
12427s | video and i want to see more of it |
12430s | can we get a can can we get a duo doodle |
12432s | does that work |
12434s | yeah yeah can we go am i allowed to make |
12436s | we got the matching kind of shirts going |
12437s | on yeah |
12439s | a little caster doodle duo going on |
12443s | uh let's talk about moving into the i |
12445s | was thinking like can i can i |
12448s | let's let's doodle some new players does |
12450s | that work no it doesn't let's just see |
12451s | what happens here with xc coming in now |
12453s | i most likely play some sniper so the |
12456s | the map that houston needs to go for |
12458s | here is a map that you can play winston |
12460s | and a water maker on so this is going to |
12462s | really push merit to the limit to see |
12464s | okay can merit match up on the water |
12465s | maker or not something that uh he wasn't |
12468s | super known for contenders so maybe |
12469s | that's been rapidly improving in the |
12471s | overwatch league with houston outlaws |
12472s | we're about to find out uh piggy staying |
12474s | in here is going to be interesting |
12477s | because he's going to need to bring out |
12478s | some dive tanks if we move to something |
12479s | like a gibraltar right that is probably |
12481s | the most likely right call to make a |
12483s | dorado could be interesting but still |
12485s | has a lot of |
12486s | movement room for the sigma to get work |
12488s | done you want to take piggy into an |
12490s | uncomfortable territory you can't just |
12492s | rely on the sigma and you want to make |
12493s | sure someone gets to play something like |
12495s | the the winston which is actually pretty |
12497s | reasonable on the city center so play |
12498s | the mayhem strengths here with their map |
12500s | picks and try and remove outlaws from |
12502s | some of their strengths |
12505s | well we'll see if they're going to be |
12506s | able to get it done as we get ready to |
12508s | go into this third and you know |
12510s | potentially final map always have to put |
12512s | that out there as outlaws all are |
12515s | already at match point one of the things |
12517s | i was kind of thinking about during the |
12518s | break ever was and i don't mean to |
12520s | i don't mean to be a jerk but |
12523s | before we take a look at these stats |
12525s | this has felt like one of the most |
12526s | one-sided series that we've commentated |
12528s | so far this season |
12530s | uh it's it's probably up there because |
12533s | well definitely in a tournament it just |
12535s | feels like |
12536s | you know the florida mayhem they they |
12539s | they don't look all |
12541s | quite there for this matchup today i |
12543s | mean they're |
12544s | especially noted that as we you know and |
12545s | i hope xe can sort of save them here as |
12547s | we look at some of the comparisons on |
12548s | the sojourn even though i expect |
12550s | actually to be mostly playing widowmaker |
12552s | on this map um |
12553s | some of the more glaring things for me |
12555s | is just the fact that you know on |
12557s | midtown the amount of solo plays that |
12559s | each player on the mayhem was often |
12561s | going for like checkmate twice trying to |
12563s | make these heroic blizzard plays on his |
12566s | own completely disjointed from the team |
12569s | and both times just completely failing |
12571s | as well you know i've seen someone go |
12573s | for the big shadow play when he's like |
12574s | it's just him and one other person alive |
12576s | versus mostly houston outlaws being |
12578s | there |
12579s | it's they're just such low probability |
12581s | plays that if you're trying to play |
12582s | percentage or flowchart or watch which |
12585s | is what i consider to be clean overwatch |
12586s | if you're trying to play that style |
12587s | overwatch you're just doing it all wrong |
12589s | because you're going for the low |
12590s | percentage place way too often and |
12591s | they're all solo plays as well |
12595s | yeah uh well there's a hell of a lot of |
12599s | you know cracks that kind of fill in |
12601s | here i think for the side of the mayhem |
12603s | to stop everything from falling apart |
12605s | exe is he good enough to be the glue to |
12609s | keep it together that is kind of the |
12611s | question i mean we just had the stats up |
12612s | there him versus merit not that much of |
12614s | a disparity between the two tell you |
12616s | what so we know that he can absolutely |
12617s | perform on that sojourn but is it gonna |
12620s | be good enough if he comes out of the |
12622s | water maker and and kind of i don't know |
12624s | has the sort of high level performance |
12626s | that we saw in our previous match where |
12628s | atlanta were not looking good versus |
12630s | london let's be very clear about that |
12632s | but then on circuit |
12634s | big widow make a map |
12635s | kai comes through and just demolishes |
12637s | the london spitfire that kind of needs |
12639s | to happen now for the florida mayhem |
12641s | versus houston gibraltar not as heavy of |
12643s | a sniper map as circuit royale but still |
12646s | a very very good sniper map nonetheless |
12648s | so you know bringing xem third map deep |
12650s | when |
12651s | historically i think it would have been |
12653s | uh more prudent to have him in the |
12655s | previous map but you know we'll trust |
12657s | that maybe florida felt like hydron |
12659s | had potential other looks he could have |
12661s | pulled out maybe they were planning on |
12662s | playing but a tracer just never panned |
12664s | out for them now they are just going to |
12665s | rely on xe and so this has to be the |
12667s | turnaround moment for the florida mayhem |
12671s | that it does |
12672s | gibraltar all that is now standing |
12674s | between the houston outlaws and a 3-0 |
12677s | victory to kick off their own mid-season |
12679s | madness tournament |
12681s | florida mayhem needing to dig deep |
12683s | we're talking about the sojourn stats of |
12685s | course for mexi but the thing that made |
12687s | him you know he made his name on was the |
12689s | widowmaker way back when i got to cast |
12690s | his initial debut |
12692s | uh and he was utterly impeccable at |
12694s | widowmaker back in 2018 contenders and |
12697s | he still is sp you know and |
12700s | well i have to find out if merit decides |
12701s | to match or not because |
12702s | i'll be straight i i haven't watched |
12704s | every single houston outlaws game this |
12706s | entire season you know we we've been |
12707s | busy on apex |
12709s | my point here is |
12710s | i don't know how much would make a |
12711s | marriage been playing his history on o2 |
12713s | blast is he sat behind kilo when kilo |
12715s | was his teammate playing the water maker |
12717s | so if merritt comes through on this now |
12719s | i don't know how practice it is compared |
12720s | to everybody else especially considering |
12722s | that you like you mentioned this is xc's |
12724s | signature hero so we're expecting a lot |
12726s | of xc on the sporty maker |
12729s | taking to the skies there pelican |
12730s | sending a couple shots his way so far |
12732s | not quite finding the connections that |
12734s | he's looking for and there's the dive |
12736s | takes a quick grapple over the side and |
12737s | lou's getting hit by that rail now looks |
12740s | a challenge |
12741s | this marriage just back and forth in the |
12743s | line of sight but does not get hit |
12746s | starting to inch forward now |
12748s | someone relocating cart advancing in |
12750s | piggy sleeping up onto the high ground |
12752s | and ammo gonna be anted out here for the |
12753s | moment but bubbles come through we'll be |
12755s | safe no one really in a position to |
12758s | really challenge him and find that |
12759s | opening pick on the brigitte tell you |
12761s | one thing because houston outlaws don't |
12762s | have a tracer a genji here no one is the |
12765s | dedicated kart pusher it's not really |
12766s | ideal because you want piggy mostly |
12768s | playing for dive pressure on the high |
12770s | ground you don't want him to pushing |
12771s | payload pelican oh hello i'll be a |
12773s | little bit sneaky here he's also not a |
12775s | great payload pushing neither is married |
12776s | so that's probably gonna be the one |
12778s | weakness of this eight push someone is |
12779s | gonna go down uh |
12781s | yeah okay they find enough damage |
12783s | on the pill i don't even think he was |
12784s | anted out i think his picky actually got |
12786s | anted someone goes down they get on top |
12788s | of xe and that is just going to be the |
12790s | spiral |
12791s | as yeah the cap looking inevitable |
12793s | firing an absolute miracle but with |
12795s | checkmate dead someone |
12797s | doesn't leap up onto the high ground but |
12799s | even if he touches it would definitely |
12800s | be suicidal that's the thing right he |
12802s | just dies if he touches so it's a free a |
12803s | capture what do you actually see that |
12804s | despite me saying it should be difficult |
12806s | for houston to push a great pick by exe |
12808s | by the way is that houston still got a |
12810s | good push on that a uh payload |
12812s | progression since mayhem never really |
12814s | challenged that so |
12816s | that should be one area that mayhem had |
12817s | on the lock but they they couldn't even |
12818s | control the payload |
12822s | next he does get taken down piggy able |
12824s | to find him |
12825s | opens up things a bit here for the side |
12827s | of the houston outlaws they look to make |
12828s | their way into the hangar the door now |
12830s | shutting the cart ready to be pushed |
12831s | forward once more he's going to be |
12833s | emptied out taking a nap |
12834s | kill actually said earlier take those |
12837s | fight merit he ends up going down |
12838s | there's a primal whale into the back |
12840s | that was piggy tries to find an |
12841s | elimination onto the enemy widowmaker |
12842s | has to rotate out grabs that health pack |
12844s | now he's gonna be panting wants to grab |
12846s | the other mega pack and eventually will |
12848s | be allowed to do so but he is very |
12849s | disconnected from the rest of his team |
12851s | as the florida mayhem look to go aggro |
12853s | and throw out banana boost onto someone |
12855s | he gets on top of last row finds the |
12856s | kill looks for a little bit more |
12858s | with the alley from checkmate they will |
12860s | find iris so now with the supports out |
12861s | of the fight the hughes and outlaws are |
12862s | gonna have to reset that was an |
12864s | excellent collapse from florida mayhem |
12865s | so credit what critters do with piggy |
12867s | out of the fight and he's technically |
12868s | still out of the fight here houston |
12870s | outlaws lose their main tank player |
12871s | entirely and florida mayhem just go for |
12873s | the back line they know they have a 5v4 |
12875s | situation while piggy's still healing up |
12876s | looking for health packs right they |
12878s | don't over chase him which is exactly |
12879s | what you want to see |
12881s | piggy still being here is a little bit |
12882s | annoying for florida to work with but |
12884s | work against rather but |
12886s | they have to also consider the fact that |
12887s | houston can't really push forward from |
12889s | spawn without their main tank or can |
12890s | they because apparently someone just |
12892s | lies the pelican |
12894s | yeah |
12895s | he's getting eliminated piggy taking a |
12897s | nasty shot there |
12898s | good whip shot from an ammo as well just |
12900s | keep some zone back for a moment leaps |
12902s | forward once more some of the nano |
12904s | rolling and with pelican joining in the |
12906s | fight that's gonna be xe taken down |
12909s | rally now gonna be popped and i'm gonna |
12910s | look at this quartz and back forward but |
12911s | they both supports are gonna get clipped |
12913s | by they're not pushing |
12915s | so they have sport control but they're |
12917s | not really gonna push up yeah i think |
12919s | somebody was contesting they might have |
12920s | been checkmate on whatever but let's see |
12922s | if there's copping to get |
12926s | i think he jumps forward he was able to |
12927s | contest that one and now has the primal |
12929s | pops he's typing in the back will get on |
12930s | top of last row finds that elimination |
12932s | his pelican went for the duke tries to |
12934s | build up the nano |
12935s | throws it out on the piggy but will be |
12937s | taken away from him as the they break |
12939s | them |
12941s | straight back into the echo form now as |
12942s | piggy continues to play for the primal |
12944s | online pops it looks for a target jumps |
12946s | up to the side finds xbox once more who |
12948s | just has not been able to get to play |
12950s | the game too much right now on this |
12952s | widowmaker piggy continues to get on top |
12954s | of him time and time again |
12955s | and i'm going to take it down the |
12957s | overclock shot from there and find |
12959s | someone that's going to be the card |
12960s | rolling in defeat so an extra minute and |
12962s | a half added let's just shy of four |
12963s | minutes at the time back now |
12964s | yeah this could be staggers as well |
12966s | because players got bad spawns kind of |
12968s | unlucky for both xc and animo |
12969s | specifically animo looks like he might |
12971s | be to get out with it though and |
12972s | actually even punish his pelican for |
12974s | overextending does get traded by merit |
12975s | here i was going to say florida maine |
12977s | did a good job of stalling the payload |
12978s | while they were being kept out from the |
12980s | entire b point but ends up not being |
12983s | enough to really save them b at all |
12984s | we're still looking for the pop-off |
12986s | moment from xc to really control the |
12988s | temp profusion outlaws the way kai was |
12989s | doing to london earlier been a bit quiet |
12992s | from exit so far not gonna lie |
12994s | honestly i don't even think checkmate |
12996s | was spotted there decides to back up all |
12998s | the same no one has to pop the recall |
13000s | someone |
13001s | getting into the back line trying to out |
13003s | pressure |
13005s | cannot do so has to make his exit and |
13006s | checkmate gets found before he can even |
13008s | use the pulse bomb pelicans striking him |
13009s | down the melee finish |
13012s | nano coming up someone just tucked away |
13014s | piggy jumping into the back the anthony |
13015s | gonna be good finds both the supports on |
13017s | the side of the houston outlaws but they |
13018s | will be safe |
13020s | they'll dive through |
13022s | still rejoining the fight how much free |
13024s | push can houston get before they're |
13026s | forced to go for nano i mean maybe this |
13027s | is it now okay |
13029s | diving into the back once more the |
13031s | trench coming online as well you're |
13032s | ready to possibly get next he's now |
13033s | going to be swapping it up tries to go |
13034s | over to the soldier the pulse bomb |
13035s | thrown in checkmate doesn't find |
13037s | anything in merit we'll claim him with a |
13038s | rail someone has the primal pop but the |
13040s | |
13041s | out the focus fire is just too damn good |
13043s | they melt right through his hp bar the |
13045s | rally rolling from an ammo but it's just |
13047s | nowhere near enough hp everybody else is |
13050s | locked into the spawn room the houston |
13051s | outlaws will be able to push to the |
13052s | finish here on gibraltar two minutes and |
13054s | 27 seconds remaining and i think there |
13057s | was only one reset there for the houston |
13059s | outlaws and that was when piggy went for |
13061s | the super deep dive with the primal on |
13063s | to exe then uh goes for a couple of |
13066s | health packs onto the back |
13068s | on c while for the remaining player to |
13070s | fight before that was the one clean |
13071s | fight that florida mayhem did get and it |
13073s | was a well deserved clean fight one and |
13074s | the only time they fully race at the |
13076s | houston outlaws why i mentioned the |
13077s | resets is important is because that's |
13079s | the key moment for your water maker to |
13080s | establish control because once the fight |
13082s | actually starts and you lose map control |
13084s | you want to make it gets less and less |
13086s | value the more pushed up houston outlaws |
13088s | are but if you should outlaws or reset |
13089s | the back and spawn you now control the |
13091s | entire hangar and xe has maximum |
13093s | coverage of the entire map space on b to |
13096s | play with the fact that florida mayhem |
13099s | couldn't really give xe more |
13101s | is |
13103s | not allowing this widowmaker is not |
13105s | working out as well as it should have i |
13106s | think is the conclusion that i want to |
13108s | reach towards because three final blows |
13110s | for exe here which still is one higher |
13112s | than the rest of his team i think you |
13113s | know we've got someone checking out a |
13114s | rupaul all on two |
13116s | they're all not really getting the frags |
13117s | in but you you need to see this this |
13119s | would make a particular on i think a was |
13121s | a little bit concerning b more so as |
13123s | well because of the lack of space to |
13124s | play through like the sidelines on b can |
13126s | be an issue if you're |
13128s | not able to get some clean time just to |
13130s | scope in the fact that you know once |
13132s | using outlaws like you're seeing here |
13133s | get the fired in figures on your back |
13135s | line he's primarily he's specifically |
13137s | targeting xc as well that we noticed in |
13138s | several fights yeah that just doesn't |
13139s | allow xc to do anything |
13143s | all right here we go the gates now |
13144s | opening up |
13146s | as uh someone taking a nap off the rip |
13148s | but we'll be fine no one from the museum |
13150s | also going to go that far forward he's |
13152s | trying to get a punishment throw is |
13154s | actually going to be head shotting axey |
13156s | he's been targeted i mean that's he's |
13159s | has the highest amount of death so far |
13160s | across the board on the server six |
13162s | deaths the next highest uh someone who |
13163s | checked my number four piggy hasn't died |
13165s | yet so he's still deathless on this |
13167s | winston which is rare for i think a tank |
13170s | play on gibraltar |
13172s | seems unbelievable given the slim |
13174s | margins that he was playing around with |
13176s | at times |
13177s | on that attack especially in the hangar |
13182s | again looking for a target |
13186s | you need someone to be so there we go |
13188s | someone's jumped in that that would have |
13189s | been at the time flex didn't get a frag |
13191s | but uh he was actually relocating his |
13193s | angle while someone went in so it's a |
13194s | little bit disjointed |
13197s | so the pop shot |
13199s | just |
13200s | his options |
13202s | none of them very good even even piggy |
13204s | playing back breaking line of sight |
13206s | making sure that he's not going to get |
13207s | tagged up by the widowmaker |
13210s | okay warning shot on top |
13213s | look at the difference in nano by the |
13214s | way iris is about to get this which |
13215s | means houston can strike first if they |
13217s | want |
13219s | yup now has it ready to go |
13221s | rupaul's still |
13223s | 21 off having that all ready to go |
13226s | someone does have a nice lead over piggy |
13228s | as far as the primal is concerned though |
13230s | so potentially can open things up in |
13231s | that regard i'll have to just wait and |
13233s | see but xc gonna be taken down by lastro |
13235s | once more but he doesn't see the nano |
13237s | boost he's gonna be slapped but can they |
13238s | get a punish is the question doesn't |
13240s | have that nano so damage mitigation |
13242s | gonna be huge and yeah they'll just let |
13244s | him wake up naturally someone just |
13245s | popped the primal gets into the back |
13247s | line finds lastro actually can be |
13248s | breathing a cyberleaf now feeling a |
13250s | little bit safer perhaps as piggy once |
13252s | more you're gonna be slept as he jumps |
13254s | onto the high ground they look for the |
13255s | elimination the ante comes down and they |
13256s | will be able to get first mate picking |
13258s | up the kill |
13259s | there you go |
13261s | and he was asleep that's all he actually |
13262s | found here for the side of the |
13263s | quarterback but now the blade is gonna |
13264s | be pulled pelican goes into the back |
13265s | lines finds ripple looks for a little |
13267s | bit more just trying to hide his head as |
13269s | x he tries to trade this one back nine |
13271s | hp and we'll be able to get him in the |
13273s | very end |
13275s | as you do see |
13276s | merrick going down there without popping |
13277s | us off but piggy by the way has got to |
13278s | mention is he he was slammed so he |
13280s | couldn't pop the primal otherwise he |
13282s | probably wouldn't have died he'll have |
13282s | the primal now so they're putting a play |
13284s | through last year can't follow this with |
13285s | a trance |
13286s | if animal dies just probably fight over |
13291s | still holds on to the rally |
13293s | piggy not going to be getting too much |
13294s | done there |
13296s | as the rally comes through overclock is |
13298s | out |
13299s | merritt looking for a head just like his |
13300s | body tags but someone still does end up |
13302s | falling if he made out onto two they're |
13304s | looking for the follow-up kills here |
13305s | though are the florida mayhem so far |
13306s | they're only able to find lastro hear us |
13309s | under a little bit of fire but he's |
13310s | gonna survive the nano now available and |
13312s | piggy gets exe you're gonna be taken |
13313s | down he doesn't get to use |
13316s | absolutely massive now with merritt |
13318s | falling definitely a big win over here |
13319s | for the florida may him to be able to |
13320s | win out the fight and get this cap |
13322s | coming through pelican trying to keep it |
13323s | contested but ends up dying i'll take |
13325s | them down below a minute but it's not |
13327s | going to be a full hold not this time |
13329s | there on to a now three minutes 20 |
13331s | seconds of the time making the floor to |
13332s | mayhem they really want to stagger |
13334s | heiress out here and maybe force him to |
13336s | misplay popping an ultimate early not |
13337s | going to happen very pocketing by last |
13339s | throws using outlaw safely back out of |
13341s | that situation but so speaking of aries |
13343s | he gets taken down there without getting |
13344s | a chance to use nano humongous |
13346s | difference maker merit as well not quite |
13348s | finding purchase on that overclock is |
13350s | also going to mean that the outlaws |
13353s | don't get the kind of kill pressure they |
13354s | normally have they needed basically |
13356s | picking the jump on top of xc with merit |
13358s | to get him down and actually even traded |
13359s | himself so brilliant play by exe in that |
13361s | situation |
13365s | oh it's limited on either side at the |
13366s | moment go to mayhem though dangerously |
13369s | close to having five elmo gonna be the |
13371s | first one right now trying to build up |
13372s | for that next rally |
13374s | it's definitely a window of opportunity |
13375s | to work with this there's the overclock |
13377s | popped piggy trying to contest on the |
13378s | high ground does force x he's positive |
13380s | oh wow gets great head shot there on |
13382s | demerit it's like sniping him down finds |
13385s | last year as well in the back end but |
13386s | taking down nanoduck dives into the back |
13388s | line does manage to find the punish |
13390s | gets slept and he goes through he still |
13392s | has the primal to rely on he's going to |
13393s | pop it if he's got multiple members |
13395s | locked into a very small room |
13398s | that's going to be the supports now |
13399s | taking down checkmate off screen able to |
13401s | find nearest in the end of it all piggy |
13403s | moving back into the drop ship keeps |
13405s | himself protected and all of this the |
13407s | card is actually rolling back |
13409s | and houston outlaws could potentially |
13410s | chase further but they're respected |
13412s | because piggy's too low hp if piggy got |
13414s | healed up and i don't want that's maybe |
13415s | easier said than done when he's super |
13417s | super low and you have limited time to |
13419s | go after florida they could have maybe |
13420s | have gotten further kills and staggers |
13421s | which would have put florida further |
13422s | behind but uh well played by piggy there |
13424s | prime will actually get a decent amount |
13426s | of value somewhat here let's kill merit |
13429s | huge here's stuck for the pulse bomb |
13431s | checkmate finds that elimination the |
13432s | supports now out of the fight the lions |
13434s | share their damage taken away pelican |
13436s | will get dropped no chance of a hero |
13438s | play with the blade it seems like that |
13440s | should be the border mayhem breaking |
13441s | through getting that extra minute and a |
13442s | half out of the time bank |
13445s | desperately need |
13446s | there you go two minutes 53 so right now |
13449s | not going to be able to best the time to |
13451s | get the houston outlaws that is uh very |
13453s | much gone hope for them but they can |
13455s | still get this finish and take it to |
13456s | extra innings but i can feel the |
13458s | momentum shifting a little bit right |
13459s | because there's a little bit of hope now |
13460s | the floor to make him can actually get |
13462s | this cap someone probably dives a little |
13463s | bit too deep there but |
13465s | you know for the rest of it for mayhem |
13466s | got a decent number of kills you just |
13468s | need to see a little bit more discipline |
13469s | especially out of players like someone |
13470s | that you know uh has been noted for |
13472s | getting quite aggro that's going to |
13474s | allow houston outlaws to start taking |
13476s | some map control so it's not |
13477s | insignificant that someone overextending |
13479s | there is a bit of a negative impact |
13481s | because otherwise sporter would have had |
13482s | map control instead |
13492s | just above ready to strike |
13494s | someone moving up onto the high ground |
13495s | looking to contest him they do take |
13497s | picky down to about half hp and he will |
13498s | make his exit joining back in with the |
13499s | rest of the houston outlaws over towards |
13501s | point c |
13503s | just hiding behind the pillar there does |
13505s | get topped up there's gonna be a blade |
13506s | banana blade pulled out actually the |
13507s | first one to fall did you get the |
13509s | antenate out on the pelican but can they |
13510s | get the finishing blow looks like the |
13512s | answer is going to be no |
13513s | the nano helps keep him alive as he |
13515s | comes up with three kills |
13517s | check made to the back line able to find |
13518s | last row but that is not going to do a |
13519s | damn thing for the florida mayhem as |
13521s | they have to reset silver lining here |
13522s | for florida is that they did uh when |
13525s | economically zero alts traded for two |
13527s | from houston outlaws so when we get to |
13529s | the end point the goal remember is to |
13531s | cap here so florida mayhem no illusions |
13533s | of matching 227 in fact no illusions of |
13535s | getting any sort of major time bag just |
13537s | getting zero and camping would be a |
13539s | pretty major win here so pushing for i |
13541s | think what is like a kind of final push |
13543s | we have five ultimates it's pretty ideal |
13545s | but with piggy coming up to primal it's |
13546s | gonna be easier said than done that one |
13548s | primal can stall out for a very long |
13549s | time |
13551s | pulse bomb at the red he checked me he's |
13552s | got his target to the sides let's look |
13555s | for last row but that's gonna be the |
13556s | transcendence force here off the rip |
13558s | merit now juggled into the corner by |
13560s | someone who's falling lower they didn't |
13561s | nano someone under the winston doing an |
13563s | immense amount of work no they did not |
13565s | goes out of the checkmate of all people |
13566s | and he just managed to make use of it |
13568s | though finds last stroke to open things |
13570s | up the overclock for maxine now gonna be |
13571s | expiring still holds on to this hundred |
13573s | charge braille tries to catch pelican |
13574s | but he does manage to stay elusive |
13576s | dashing away |
13577s | checkmate was traded out |
13579s | piggy waiting for his moment to go in |
13581s | for the recontest but he's hovering |
13582s | lower and lower as far as the hp has |
13584s | been killed he ends up getting dropped |
13585s | 1.23 meters left to go now for the side |
13587s | of the floor to mayhem with 32 seconds |
13589s | left to try to make it happen last year |
13590s | going to be taken out however anomalo |
13592s | gets traded pelican and merritt still |
13594s | just trying to keep this cart contested |
13595s | and it's gotta be all on pelican right |
13597s | now he falls lower and lower pops recall |
13599s | piggy rejoins the fight coming now out |
13601s | on the diva pelican does get taken down |
13603s | everything invested now on this debut |
13605s | try to keep things going but there's |
13606s | just so much damage focus coming through |
13608s | and the d matrix is not gonna be good |
13609s | enough last row and out forced away the |
13612s | supports cannot touch we go to extra |
13615s | innings as it strikes over time a minute |
13617s | for the florida mayhem versus 318 they |
13620s | need to have an immaculate push and |
13622s | defense to the florida mayhem if they |
13623s | want to extend this series houston |
13625s | trying their best to solve that one out |
13627s | further if they could because aries is |
13629s | very very close to nano you see just |
13630s | coming online towards the end there so |
13632s | if they could have kept peggy up for a |
13634s | couple more seconds he would have |
13635s | received nano that would have been the |
13636s | potential for a bit of a turnaround no |
13638s | idea if it could actually happen but it |
13640s | certainly would have been on the cards |
13641s | uh florida mayhem thankfully we'll still |
13643s | be able to get a good push and despite |
13644s | missing the nano onto someone i'm gonna |
13646s | stick on that a little bit longer |
13647s | because it's very important that someone |
13650s | as the only tank player here that's in |
13651s | the front lines he's on one hp he |
13654s | doesn't get the nano he has to fly back |
13656s | if you now check mate cool he's going to |
13657s | replace someone in the front lines you |
13659s | now have a 300 hp tracer who trades |
13661s | himself one for one here that's still |
13663s | not really ideal for the loss of map |
13664s | control florida still swing it back |
13666s | around but that wasn't clean in my |
13668s | opinion keeping someone in the game |
13669s | would have been far stronger just tiny |
13671s | nitpicks like this but |
13673s | again florida will get it across the |
13674s | board so we'll breathe a sigh of relief |
13676s | the goal was to cap with any amount of |
13679s | time no illusions of getting a good time |
13681s | bank they are looking for a situation |
13683s | where they can make a lot out of the |
13685s | single minute that they have here so if |
13687s | they can cap a they give themselves the |
13688s | opportunity to win 318 is a lot of time |
13691s | compared to the one here so florida i |
13692s | think to actually win this map reliably |
13695s | probably do have the campaign |
13700s | kate's opening |
13702s | the middle of the time bank not very |
13704s | comfortable at all for the side of the |
13705s | floor to mayhem he said need to be |
13708s | absolutely immaculate with this attack |
13710s | actually once more back over the |
13711s | widowmaker has not fined found the most |
13714s | success so far |
13716s | needs to be clicking heads if they want |
13717s | to get some distance gained |
13719s | yeah 20 |
13720s | critical hit you want to see a little |
13721s | bit higher than that on a |
13723s | star water maker player at least he's |
13726s | you know he has had that reputation |
13727s | needs to continue and |
13729s | prove it again i would say but uh |
13730s | opening |
13732s | neutral here is reasonable for the |
13734s | florida mayhem not gonna see some real |
13735s | action until payload gets up the hill oh |
13737s | he's jumped on i need a house okay tries |
13739s | to make his exit pelican not gonna over |
13741s | pursue pulls back away |
13744s | just move down into the car wash instead |
13745s | just hit the top of the hill just keep |
13746s | it the car contested not allowing it to |
13748s | roll up any further there's no |
13749s | alternates by the way very low on the |
13751s | ultimate charge which means it comes |
13752s | down to perspex |
13754s | it's full neutral fight territory and he |
13757s | goes out of the two |
13758s | piggy and pelican both down to about |
13760s | half hp with the anti-explosion that |
13761s | needs to be killed |
13763s | he's looking for the shot but he doesn't |
13764s | quite manage to make it connect he |
13766s | doesn't stay alive he looks for merit |
13768s | makes him a little bit lower but has to |
13769s | back away once more it's gonna be a |
13771s | trade out a one for one as they both |
13772s | kill each other from beyond the grave |
13775s | the card advancing once more watch the |
13777s | nanos by the discord out onto him here |
13779s | is now going to be auntie the sleep dart |
13781s | connects onto rupaul |
13782s | as they look for the elimination it's |
13784s | going to be laughter taken down but now |
13785s | the front line broken down to the side |
13786s | of the floor may have exe swapping over |
13787s | the soldier just to try to rejoin a |
13789s | little bit faster the card continues to |
13791s | advance closer and closer piggy drops |
13793s | back down and that's gonna be the nano |
13796s | out onamo |
13797s | trying to keep it contested but |
13799s | because he wasn't close enough |
13802s | i'm gonna be honest here doesn't touch |
13803s | it it's a it's a technical c9 well it is |
13806s | a c9 because they they |
13808s | let me explain it it is a c9 because he |
13810s | was |
13810s | on the payload but it's not a c9 in the |
13813s | fact that i don't think they were |
13814s | winning like to me |
13815s | there's two definitions right it's like |
13817s | should you just have touched the payload |
13818s | in any circumstance and then there's you |
13820s | are winning the fight and then you just |
13821s | don't touch the payload or something |
13822s | like that but in this case they were |
13824s | superbly down the nano ends up going to |
13826s | animo very minimal impact that's going |
13828s | to have for you uh you needed someone to |
13830s | stay lively who was by the way 88 so if |
13832s | you have a situation where you have |
13834s | someone still alive you give given the |
13835s | natter he builds a primal off that |
13837s | that's a potential win condition for the |
13838s | florida mayhem |
13840s | really need to see more from xe again |
13841s | because we saw that it looked like a |
13843s | free kill going to server on the last |
13845s | round and he wefts the shot like you |
13847s | cannot be missing that that's got to be |
13849s | a guarantee kill that would have been |
13850s | the 5v4 that really swings it for |
13852s | florida to make him at the top of the |
13854s | fight and they don't cap and this is |
13855s | where i think things are going to be |
13856s | problematic because if you remember the |
13858s | florida a defensive regulation it wasn't |
13860s | good that's why i'm saying florida need |
13862s | to cap it because i don't think they win |
13864s | unless they cap a and they're gonna have |
13865s | to have a |
13867s | masterful defense now to have any hope |
13869s | for winning this map |
13871s | yeah i mean this would be a monstrous |
13873s | fuller hole if they could pull it off |
13875s | otherwise the houston outlaws are |
13876s | looking for a very |
13878s | swift 3-0 victory |
13881s | three minutes and 18 seconds to work |
13882s | with xc once more back over onto the |
13884s | widowmaker sends out a shot finds a |
13886s | couple tags thus far elimination zombies |
13888s | last one tries to drop down off the high |
13890s | ground that is the exact shot that he |
13892s | needed to hit |
13893s | yeah make it up for it now he can do |
13894s | that 50 more times i think to get this |
13897s | fuller hold do that over the course of |
13899s | three minutes right you know i think |
13900s | it's possible i think you absolutely can |
13902s | merit something |
13903s | pelicans also going towards the genji |
13904s | now |
13905s | so they'll give them a little bit more |
13907s | capability to push the payload but |
13908s | someone's already just kind of keeping |
13909s | them busy towards the ground can another |
13911s | kill the aeros just keeps things into |
13913s | 5v4 which is exactly what florida won |
13917s | one support respawns the other one dies |
13921s | head shot there on a piggy actually |
13923s | seemingly warmed up a bit but all takes |
13925s | is one coordinated dive from piggy and |
13927s | pelican |
13928s | to get rid of xe now they're looking for |
13930s | it and he's just not the wiser scoped in |
13933s | completely tunneled on his target |
13935s | pelican gets right on top of a right |
13937s | click to the skull goodbye good night |
13938s | the widow's out of the fight |
13940s | worse than that the payload started to |
13942s | move now this is not good for florida |
13943s | they need to find treys almost |
13944s | immediately even if houston loses fight |
13946s | pella can get pushed this to the upper |
13948s | hill so you know that's going to be a |
13950s | momentum |
13951s | they're actually winning the fight |
13952s | anyway |
13954s | yeah they're chasing in someone is not |
13955s | going to be allowed to escape the kills |
13957s | come through checkmate is only able to |
13958s | find iris xc on his return does get |
13961s | pelican car for now not going to be |
13963s | getting advanced forward it's a good |
13965s | track we'll find last row a couple kills |
13967s | coming in the card is not moving that's |
13969s | going to give you time for the rest of |
13970s | the quarterback will they join that's |
13971s | because actually killed the push of |
13972s | bush's pelican he's the dedicated car |
13974s | pusher but not only that checkmate held |
13976s | up the entire back line trades his own |
13978s | life while just completely denying |
13979s | houston outlaws from making space it is |
13981s | still a holdable position for mayhem not |
13984s | quite over just yet especially with |
13986s | primal rage online florida they had a |
13988s | very poor fight just previously but they |
13990s | could still recover |
13993s | okay some more |
13995s | head shots going through piggy just |
13997s | getting chipped away at the infrasight |
13999s | rolling iris |
14001s | hiding keeps himself safe at the moment |
14003s | actually falling lower and lower if the |
14004s | pursuit comes in dangerously deep from |
14006s | piggy now he's gonna pop the primal rage |
14008s | he's looking to get rid of this |
14009s | widowmaker the full focus on the side of |
14011s | the floor to mayhem trying to keep bexie |
14013s | alive but they cannot do it piggy finds |
14015s | an elimination finds an ammo as well but |
14017s | check me out it's work right now if |
14019s | you're a florida fan gets rid of the |
14021s | supports pelican down to a sliver of hp |
14022s | as well has to try to escape checkmate |
14025s | pops a recall someone says yep i'm just |
14027s | gonna occupy card space right now |
14029s | braille comes across merit now popping |
14031s | the overclock the dive comes through he |
14033s | throws the name over towards server |
14034s | rules good sleep here about that the |
14036s | sleep guard connects |
14038s | they get the elimination |
14039s | the kills continue to fly through and |
14041s | it's 38 seconds remaining florida mayhem |
14043s | can they make it happen there's a tweet |
14045s | we are seeing mistakes from houston |
14047s | there's a blade here because they didn't |
14048s | wait for it earlier they're trying to |
14050s | run before they can walk houston outlaws |
14052s | just near the pace themselves a little |
14053s | bit they had a full minute to work with |
14055s | and that was the fight that they didn't |
14057s | need to throw everything into play for |
14059s | the nanoplate they put the nano on to a |
14061s | different player instead and now pelican |
14063s | has a dry blade hope for the best |
14068s | i can't keep him alive through with the |
14069s | transcendence |
14070s | barring |
14071s | an anteater out from rupal |
14074s | rally's up |
14075s | time |
14076s | ticking lower and lower the rally is |
14078s | online as you say now popping that one |
14080s | instantly but both support's gonna get |
14081s | clipped by an ante diving to the back |
14083s | pelican looking for xc the second slice |
14086s | managing to find the kill |
14088s | 4.79 meters left to go no more ultimate |
14091s | falling lower and lower than his scored |
14092s | orb is out last year are able to clean |
14093s | him up and there's no kills to be found |
14095s | right now for the side of the florida |
14096s | bay and they need to get something but |
14097s | they are finding absolutely nothing |
14099s | checkmate the last one alive trying to |
14101s | keep it contested and he cannot it was |
14104s | looking possible they drained the clock |
14106s | down after a three minute 18 second |
14108s | start but they cannot stop the houston |
14111s | outlaws just too much time to work with |
14113s | the final alts are good enough there's |
14115s | going to be a 3-0 victory here for the |
14117s | houston outlaws to stay in the upper |
14119s | bracket florida mayhem however they fall |
14121s | down |
14122s | yeah it all comes down to the a push |
14124s | coming through and this is where you |
14125s | know florida mayhem a little bit more |
14127s | distance if they could get more in that |
14129s | one minute i understand that maybe it |
14130s | sounds a little bit unreasonable because |
14132s | what you can get in one minute is very |
14134s | little but this is where you know you |
14136s | need to turn that inch into a mile for |
14138s | sure if you're in the florida mayhem |
14139s | push it over towards b and then we're |
14141s | looking towards a real win condition |
14143s | three minutes is plenty for houston to |
14144s | work with and even then i think houston |
14147s | probably got a little bit too greedy at |
14149s | various times and we will go back to the |
14151s | the areas pelican moment where he you |
14153s | know puts a nan on the pelican hoping to |
14155s | build the the blade during the nano and |
14158s | it just does not work for them they lose |
14159s | their fight credit to florida mayhem for |
14161s | keeping it very competitive on the end |
14164s | for uh this watch point gibraltar look |
14167s | the attack |
14168s | was |
14169s | starting to get somewhere you know i get |
14171s | no |
14172s | no hope for them to get any meaningful |
14174s | time back but just pushing us into the |
14176s | actual time back itself and you know to |
14178s | get the extra innings i think is an |
14180s | important step for the floor maker to |
14182s | show that they can compete didn't really |
14183s | happen in the first two maps though so |
14185s | that part's a little bit disappointing |
14186s | but at least gibraltar's showing signs |
14188s | of life |
14190s | yeah i mean and after what was you know |
14192s | witnessed on that |
14194s | on that midtown it was definitely good |
14195s | to see the signs of life coming out from |
14197s | them but hughes and outlaws just |
14199s | certainly had their number today a |
14200s | relatively one-sided affair overall and |
14202s | let's go ahead and take a look at our |
14204s | player of the match for the houston |
14205s | outlaws and uh i think he could have |
14207s | made a couple arguments across the board |
14209s | but it's gonna be merritt walking away |
14210s | with the w at the end of it all |
14213s | and merit i think we had our eyes on him |
14215s | right from the very beginning straight |
14217s | on that one uh noted how clean he was on |
14219s | the sojourn and really you know proving |
14222s | why he is |
14223s | kind of touted as one of if not the top |
14225s | sergeant that we currently have |
14226s | especially you know i think given that |
14227s | kai looked a little bit |
14229s | lesser than what we expected on his |
14231s | opening matchup versus london today and |
14233s | mary coming through very dominant versus |
14235s | the florida mayhem um very well deserved |
14237s | player of the game even just tracking |
14239s | his stats across both the maps he |
14241s | improved his rail gun hit accuracy on |
14243s | that second map here i'm still |
14245s | reasonably good on gibraltar 55 right |
14247s | it's it's above 50 which is i think the |
14249s | floor for an overwatch league |
14250s | professional on surgeon um just a |
14252s | fantastic player overall |
14256s | yeah i mean from the outset was just |
14258s | looking incredible and |
14260s | i thought i was getting hopeful a little |
14261s | bit he did flash the widowmaker for a |
14263s | moment as they were getting ready to |
14264s | open up seeing the hack i thought maybe |
14267s | he was to go for it but he did not but i |
14268s | mean you're talking about you know |
14269s | hitting that 50 in the end his overall |
14272s | is 58 which is fantastic throughout the |
14274s | you know entire length of a series so |
14276s | continues to just keep his numbers up |
14278s | towards that 60 mark so utterly |
14280s | impeccable performance from merritt who |
14282s | just is definitely making a name he |
14284s | wants to you know throw his hat in the |
14285s | ring and say yeah i i'm in consideration |
14287s | for best soldier in nna as well |
14290s | yeah and you know maybe further than |
14292s | that when they eventually play up |
14293s | against some of the apac teams you know |
14294s | we have some great surgeons from there |
14296s | as well |
14296s | um but honestly a very good opening for |
14299s | the day considering uh |
14301s | you know our first time at least my |
14303s | first time for sure overall but you know |
14305s | our first time as a duo this year |
14307s | casting some night teams and you know |
14309s | getting to see what they're up to and |
14310s | honestly i'm liking it i'm very |
14312s | impressed by teams like london today i'm |
14314s | hoping to see great stuff out without |
14316s | them further me but |
14317s | the the one game i think we've all been |
14319s | waiting for kilios is one that actually |
14320s | comes up after because we're finally |
14322s | gonna get some cross regional gameplay |
14325s | there we are and it's gonna be exciting |
14327s | but of course uh that's gonna that's |
14328s | gonna happen after a little bit of a |
14329s | break we're gonna have the desk cut when |
14331s | we come back break down a bit of the |
14332s | action here from the second series of |
14334s | the day but we're just at the midway |
14336s | point there's still more you know two |
14337s | more series to be played out that's |
14339s | gonna be it for myself and avril for |
14341s | today though it's gonna be you know |
14343s | brought to you by necro and uh |
14346s | the tiny british man i forget his name |
14348s | anyway they're gonna be bringing |
14350s | those matches so make sure you guys stay |
14352s | tuned uh and the desk will be breaking |
14354s | things down to the back end of this |
14356s | break |
14357s | love you we'll see you next time |

14622s | welcome to game break everybody i'm here |
14624s | joined now by piggy from houston outlaws |
14627s | piggy congratulations on the win and i'm |
14629s | gonna be honest i was actually sitting |
14631s | across from you guys from the backdrop |
14633s | and i heard a lot from you you were very |
14636s | vocal you were cheering for your team |
14638s | you were |
14639s | honestly |
14640s | screaming at the top of your lungs a lot |
14642s | of the times you know every team fight |
14644s | you guys uh won throughout the whole |
14646s | match so was this uh sort of a strategy |
14649s | that that houston came up with to uh to |
14652s | intim intimidate the opponents i mean |
14654s | those were you know your the other teams |
14655s | that were sitting across from you guys |
14657s | or |
14658s | are you just simply just kind of like |
14660s | that you know are you that do you just |
14662s | normally just have that personality |
14673s | yes |
14676s | [Music] |
14702s | you know i do i'm a very vocal player |
14704s | but also it was sort of uh a strategy as |
14707s | well where we wanted to sort of |
14708s | intimidate and sort of play with uh the |
14710s | opponent's mental as well all right |
14713s | that's an actually very interesting and |
14715s | smart strategy from houston now my |
14717s | second question for you uh piggy is i |
14719s | think in midtown it was where you guys |
14721s | came up with the winston dive and then |
14724s | as soon as you saw the florida mayhem |
14725s | pull out the uh the ryan rush |
14728s | competitions you guys went for |
14768s | all right i mean we did uh one speed run |
14770s | the spitfire uh in the uh ryan rush |
14773s | mirror competition in that battle so |
14775s | whenever we we have the opportunity to |
14777s | go for the rhine rush mirror fight then |
14780s | we are sort of |
14781s | or moving towards where we use uh the |
14784s | mirror fights and you know because we |
14786s | know that we could win all right piggy |
14788s | that is it for the interview thank you |
14789s | so much for your time and with that |
14790s | being said avali take it away |
14795s | danny just because piggy took the series |
14798s | doesn't mean that he can take your mic |
14800s | fight for it danny fight for it |
14803s | uh but yes again congratulations to the |
14805s | outlaws and a very difficult uh series |
14807s | there for florida mayhem |
14809s | johnny i do want to come to you first |
14811s | with this post game just because in that |
14814s | during that last map i overheard you |
14817s | almost like talking to florida basically |
14819s | being like okay be careful all right uh |
14821s | well you know pull back a little bit |
14822s | almost like a dad teaching his kid how |
14824s | to ride a bike |
14826s | so what did what did you want to tell |
14828s | them in that moment dad to ride a bike i |
14830s | mean that's a dad teacher was very like |
14832s | that it was it was a lot of confidence |
14834s | yeah |
14835s | yeah no that's fine yeah you can go in |
14837s | oh no not too far yeah he likes that |
14839s | yeah yes |
14841s | will you teach |
14845s | yeah i mean i was coaching i was trying |
14847s | to coach them a little bit you know i'm |
14849s | watching these teams and i'm like trying |
14850s | to judge them i'm like hi i'd like to |
14852s | like |
14853s | push up a little bit here i like to |
14854s | withdraw a little bit like i i think |
14856s | this was a very interesting |
14857s | compositional matchup especially on |
14859s | gibraltar which you will see later in |
14861s | the highlights because |
14862s | houston outlaws throughout this entire |
14864s | series you can see it right here even |
14866s | they're always playing the soldier |
14868s | because soda is so good when it comes to |
14870s | the damage capabilities right and then |
14872s | we saw them play a lot of zenyatta and |
14874s | honor you you have the discord orb you |
14876s | got the biotic grenade you got the sleep |
14878s | dart the houston outlaws so they're |
14879s | playing a very potent composition in |
14881s | that regard the florida mayhem on the |
14883s | other hand when they pick gibraltar and |
14886s | they're going for the widowmaker and |
14887s | they're going for the brigitte |
14889s | they don't have these |
14891s | big abilities to like turn these big |
14893s | fights around so they need to be way |
14894s | more disciplined they need to be way |
14896s | more clinical about their positioning |
14898s | about the way they take some of these |
14900s | fights and the florida maine they needed |
14902s | to be very precise with their |
14904s | engagements and their positioning and we |
14906s | didn't really see that from them so i |
14908s | was trying to coach them i was trying to |
14909s | tell them like hey you need to push up |
14911s | here you need to punish this etc but the |
14913s | florida they're not really known to be |
14915s | this disciplined team either we even |
14917s | have admiral avril mentioned it on the |
14919s | cast like someone he has a tendency to |
14921s | jump in a little bit too far getting |
14923s | picked off xc as well on the widowmaker |
14925s | he didn't hit those shots he was |
14926s | required to do because you don't have |
14928s | the soldier in damage so you need to get |
14929s | the final blows but he wasn't able to |
14931s | get those final blows in the first place |
14933s | and animal as well |
14934s | not the greatest gains from him so |
14937s | i think that in general houston outlaws |
14939s | they played very potent volatile |
14940s | compositions with a lot of offensive |
14942s | capabilities and it was just too much to |
14944s | bear for the florida maine and they need |
14946s | to be way more disciplined with their |
14948s | positioning when they're opting not to |
14950s | play the sojourn here |
14951s | if if johnny is the supportive dad |
14954s | i am the angry uncle because i |
14957s | am not |
14960s | i am not happy with this moira |
14962s | composition that they played in the |
14963s | first two maps it doesn't really make |
14965s | sense they're not playing that surgeon |
14966s | they don't have that high damage output |
14968s | they can't get those picks with that |
14969s | style and then the moira rupaul was just |
14972s | unable to stay alive he yes he has that |
14974s | fate yes he has that survivability but |
14976s | he was still just dying time and time |
14978s | again i'm not in love with what they're |
14979s | trying to do and i hope they don't go |
14981s | back into it because they actually |
14982s | looked a lot more coordinated playing |
14984s | the winston dive playing that style with |
14986s | around someone's winston who really is |
14988s | the forefront player for that team so |
14990s | they take a pretty brutal loss to the |
14992s | houston outlaws here but i want to see |
14993s | them bounce back because they do have |
14995s | good players but it just doesn't feel |
14997s | like they have an idea of how they want |
14999s | to play it right now especially with |
15000s | that warrior composition like why wasn't |
15002s | xen to play over hydrogen did they not |
15004s | want to play that surgeon are they not |
15006s | comfortable in it i mean the genji |
15007s | tracer i think just but it's |
15010s | quite work yeah like it was not just |
15013s | like playing genji tracer into sojourn |
15015s | echo |
15017s | ah |
15018s | just doesn't hurt a little bit |
15020s | it hurts |
15021s | it's tough the kid took the training |
15023s | wheels off and you just pushed him down |
15024s | the hill and said go right yeah |
15027s | and he failed |
15028s | and he failed now he's not allowed back |
15030s | in the house |
15031s | all right well uh actually before i move |
15033s | on to this point i know we talked a lot |
15035s | about the downfalls of florida right |
15037s | there but anything that we want to shout |
15038s | out in terms of the outlaws because |
15041s | they did this is our first 3-0 of the |
15043s | week |
15044s | i actually i have two i think merritt |
15046s | obviously going crazy on the soldier you |
15048s | know i think he was doing well again but |
15049s | we've already shouted him out that |
15050s | before but picking on the winston and |
15052s | the reinhardt kind of surprising me |
15054s | right now i i haven't been in love with |
15056s | some of his reinhardt performances or |
15058s | his wisdom performances but everything |
15060s | was there today i'm actually a little |
15061s | bit more excited to see how he does |
15062s | against better teams and if he is going |
15064s | to be able to hold his own like he did |
15065s | today yeah i think houston outlaws over |
15067s | time they've like reassured us that they |
15069s | are actually a great team they're not |
15071s | dropping these maps or series to lower |
15073s | teams anymore now they just need to |
15075s | punch upwards and actually beat some of |
15077s | the better teams which is what we're |
15079s | expecting from them at this point all |
15080s | right well if you're the supportive dad |
15082s | the angry uncle i've never heard that |
15084s | i've never heard of an eyebrow |
15086s | you guys don't have angry okay then i |
15088s | will be the caring grandma and wish them |
15091s | luck as they move into the lower bracket |
15094s | because remember florida mayhem is not i |
15096s | like this i like this brand for you the |
15098s | fusion grandmother it's just |
15099s | fusion grandma where did that come from |
15101s | we're talking about florida oh but you |
15103s | know what i'll take that i'll bake i'll |
15105s | start baking like fusion cookies or |
15106s | something like the little icing on them |
15109s | like |
15110s | i'm going to start at my bakery follow |
15112s | me on twitter and that's where you're |
15113s | going to be able to submit orders and |
15115s | stuff but let's go ahead and talk about |
15116s | our next match up because that's going |
15118s | to be toronto define against shanghai |
15120s | dragons and scott i want to start with |
15122s | you because when we looked at |
15123s | predictions i think it was shanghai |
15125s | dragons across the board i know john |
15127s | even has them potentially winning the |
15129s | entire event so |
15131s | he's biased we're all a little biased at |
15133s | the end of the day barbecue invitation |
15135s | leading to a correct prediction |
15137s | i'll take it but that being said what |
15139s | does toronto defiant need to do in order |
15141s | to surprise everyone here today |
15144s | it's an uphill battle i think this is |
15146s | probably one of the more one-sided |
15147s | matches that we have for today shanghai |
15149s | has been dominant but they need to find |
15150s | a way to shut down lip i think lip has |
15152s | been absolutely incredible in the apac |
15154s | region started a little slow this season |
15156s | compared you know he was the mvp |
15157s | runner-up that we saw from last season |
15159s | but he has been just absolutely |
15161s | incredible especially on that ash and |
15162s | this is the first time we see the east |
15164s | taking on the west and something that |
15166s | the east likes to do is they love to |
15168s | play the ash instead of the sojourn and |
15170s | just look at the stats here from lip out |
15172s | of 12 players with 20 plus minutes |
15173s | played he's just been absolutely |
15175s | incredible his hit scan and his |
15177s | flexibility have just been adding to the |
15179s | dragon's dominance over the last couple |
15181s | of seasons so |
15182s | if the toronto defiant and primarily |
15185s | heisu can find an answer to lip then i |
15187s | think they do have a chance maybe the |
15189s | sojourn will work better against the ash |
15191s | than we we will think because this is |
15193s | not a matchup that we've really seen the |
15195s | ash has more damage against the winston |
15198s | the wrecking ball because you don't have |
15199s | to charge up that rail onto high moving |
15201s | targets and the ash just has more |
15203s | consistent damage so i'm excited to see |
15205s | how this is going to play out between |
15206s | these two teams and if the toronto |
15208s | defiant can really lead the west to |
15210s | showing that their style might be better |
15212s | than the east i i would actually say |
15214s | that lip is so good that they shouldn't |
15216s | even like play into it like don't don't |
15218s | even like |
15219s | accept that it's over just accept it |
15221s | like lip is the superior hit scan like |
15223s | he sue don't try to ego duel like lift |
15225s | because he's you're not that good okay |
15227s | if there's anything we know |
15229s | you know if there are anything we know |
15230s | from the throttle fine it's there |
15232s | they're going to play doomfist yeah |
15234s | because muse has actually looked really |
15235s | good on the doomfist and doomfist is a |
15237s | good matchup against winston and against |
15239s | wrecking ball so if anything i would |
15241s | just like avoid lip and try to kill fate |
15245s | and then you can go when you're like |
15246s | five versus four just hopefully it |
15248s | doesn't kill three before you kill fate |
15250s | look it's a lip okay |
15254s | we're not we're not talking about like |
15255s | the shock wave when the vancouver title |
15257s | we're talking about lip shock wave |
15258s | catching the string is low encouraging |
15261s | encouraging words from you johnny as |
15263s | well as you scott i'm trying you know |
15266s | i'm gonna cut you off right there |
15267s | because it's time to actually sing |
15269s | anything |
15270s | speak for themselves as we get into the |
15272s | next match and joining us on the casting |
15274s | desk it's going to be jaws and necro so |
15276s | take it away and get us into the game |
15277s | don't throw things at me |
15286s | just ignore lip just ignore lip choice |
15289s | yeah don't worry about him |
15291s | bruh |
15292s | like |
15294s | it's the first time |
15295s | that he's to meet in the west |
15297s | and apparent potential maybe the |
15300s | shanghai dragons winning the whole thing |
15301s | according to johnny and they go up |
15302s | against the toronto |
15304s | defiant who have looked incredibly mid |
15307s | uh quite literally mid six and six in |
15309s | the regular season up until this point |
15311s | uh how is this gonna go probably |
15313s | shanghai's way i like the enthusiasm |
15315s | though and just keeping spirits high on |
15317s | the toronto defiant camp but the clash |
15319s | of stars rose is going to be i think the |
15321s | tale for this series but shanghai |
15323s | dragons just look |
15324s | unbelievably dominant like |
15327s | permanently it's uh the same old dragons |
15329s | and with the ash against the sojourn |
15332s | there's a lot of consistent output but |
15334s | face wrecking was going to get knocked |
15335s | around by muse i don't think so |
15337s | yeah it's a lot of different things that |
15338s | we need to look at for this series in |
15340s | particular but when we look at east |
15342s | versus west classically there's just two |
15344s | vastly different play styles that we see |
15346s | for coming out from both of these |
15348s | regions the east has predominantly |
15350s | looked for dive moments really playing |
15352s | around the wrecking ball is kind of one |
15354s | of their main staples in that meta and |
15356s | then over on the west it kind of feels |
15359s | like anything goes we've seen a lot of |
15361s | reinhardt rush we've also seen a lot of |
15362s | the doomfist and seen some more of those |
15365s | winston moments as well and so when you |
15367s | get these two regions coming together |
15369s | when they have different pacings as well |
15371s | it makes for some explosive action and i |
15374s | cannot wait to get into it |
15376s | let's have a look at toronto defiance |
15378s | starting lineup remember this is the |
15380s | first time this year we are seeing the |
15383s | clash |
15384s | east versus west |
15386s | toronto defiant representing the west |
15388s | right now the rest of region |
15391s | muse heisu finale charon twilight |
15394s | incredible |
15395s | team |
15396s | they have the talent says mitch console |
15399s | i think a lot of other players say the |
15400s | same thing but like i mentioned um they |
15403s | did kind of scrape in this tournament |
15404s | they six and six and uh six and six |
15407s | overall in the regular season |
15408s | unbelievably mid-looking but |
15411s | this clash of stars maybe throws dragons |
15414s | off just a little bit i mean that's kind |
15415s | of what you're hoping i everybody on |
15417s | paper should have the dragons to win |
15419s | this series but |
15421s | we could see it going the other way like |
15423s | well the first series of the mid-season |
15425s | madness tournament rose with london's |
15427s | fit fire dominating the atlanta reign |
15429s | anything can happen at this point |
15432s | absolutely i feel like when you look at |
15433s | toronto defiant and you look at that six |
15436s | and six score line i don't know if it |
15438s | tells you the full picture about how |
15439s | toronto defiant have really done i mean |
15441s | just looking at stage two toronto really |
15444s | started off with this super awkward kind |
15446s | of winston sombra dive that wasn't |
15449s | working for them but as soon as mews |
15451s | started to switch over to the doomfist |
15453s | and toronto was able to play twilight on |
15456s | more of the anna which is his signature |
15458s | hero |
15459s | toronto defiant really started to liven |
15462s | up and i'm really excited to see if they |
15465s | are able to use this doomfist to like |
15467s | you said kind of surprise the dragons |
15470s | let's wait and see dragons let's have a |
15471s | look at their starting lineup today a |
15474s | fun fact in fact a silly stupid fact if |
15477s | if you if you really want it the last |
15479s | time |
15480s | uh these teams met was in 2019 and in |
15482s | fact they've only ever met once before |
15486s | like |
15488s | insane obviously crazy things happened |
15489s | in 2020 so it kind of prevented a lot of |
15492s | these |
15492s | teams playing each other but they've |
15494s | only ever faced each other one time and |
15495s | of course they were very different |
15497s | rosters lip flood of fate as yucky and |
15499s | li jay gone |
15500s | obviously on your screen right now but |
15502s | back then when they played against each |
15504s | other for that first time it was gamsu |
15507s | on tank envy was there as well like |
15510s | luffy |
15511s | and |
15511s | do you look at the side of the define a |
15513s | completely different roster too sharik |
15515s | was on that roster we had gods as well |
15518s | the hulka god uh neko and aide in the |
15521s | support like |
15522s | this is how long it's been since these |
15525s | two teams have played together which is |
15526s | insane but of course you can see uh the |
15528s | dragon starting lineup today i feel like |
15531s | it's gonna be uh an affair where lip |
15534s | just kind of dominates rose his ash is |
15537s | unbelievable right now it is so good |
15540s | absolutely and it really rounds out this |
15542s | more veteran roster just really nicely |
15545s | you look across the board and i know |
15547s | that the rosters look a little bit |
15548s | different but when you look at the |
15549s | shanghai dragons you know these players |
15552s | you know how well they have performed in |
15554s | the league in previous seasons and it is |
15556s | so exciting to get a chance to see them |
15559s | here |
15559s | competing once again in this east versus |
15563s | west clash but you know when i look at |
15565s | the dragons i'm kind of expecting them |
15567s | especially with fate and legion gone in |
15569s | the roster to really start playing more |
15571s | around that wrecking ball and that |
15572s | winston dive |
15574s | shanghai also struggled a little bit to |
15576s | find their footing in stage two just |
15578s | like toronto defiant but finally landed |
15580s | on something that is really working for |
15582s | them so jaws i feel like both of these |
15584s | teams know where their comfortability |
15586s | lies and this first map is going to be |
15589s | super telling on how the rest of this |
15591s | series might be able to play out based |
15593s | on |
15594s | what they feel from each other |
15596s | i mean you you mentioned an excellent |
15597s | point like toronto's defiance their |
15599s | turnaround |
15600s | um previously we were seeing his a lot |
15603s | on this sombra a lot of people didn't |
15605s | like the sombra at that point uh in the |
15607s | stage of the matter and then it was like |
15609s | wow okay now you can play sojourn oh my |
15612s | god wow he's insane who'da thought |
15614s | who'da thought he sue he's who god on |
15616s | twitter uh was a good player like it was |
15618s | a ridiculous come up like complete |
15620s | transformation for the toronto to find |
15623s | and that's where they started um getting |
15625s | a lot of their wins they've had a couple |
15626s | of close series here and there against |
15628s | teams you shouldn't if you're trying to |
15630s | define like against the paris eternal |
15632s | but um we'll see if they can kick off |
15634s | the mid-season madness with a bang |
15636s | against the dragons does it like we're |
15639s | just gonna jump into game in just a |
15641s | moment but it will be illeos this is our |
15643s | first uh map today rose |
15646s | yeah we're gonna be kicking things off |
15647s | on illios but we gotta also look at his |
15650s | versus lip you know i love that we get |
15653s | to bring up that lip is such a |
15654s | phenomenal ash but we also have to look |
15656s | at the sojourn stats across the board |
15658s | because he sue phenomenal lip may be |
15662s | trailing behind just a little bit in |
15664s | terms of some of these statistics coming |
15666s | out from the sojourn play but i think |
15669s | we're really going to see lip focus more |
15671s | on the ash here unless the sojourn feels |
15674s | super necessary to get that more |
15676s | explosive damage with those charged up |
15678s | shots |
15679s | yeah this that's pretty similar but yeah |
15682s | like you mentioned it pulling a away |
15684s | slightly as hiso especially in the |
15685s | damage uh pretend and then the final |
15687s | blows of course silicon is about the |
15689s | same overclock and uh deaths kind of |
15691s | similar but those final blows and the |
15694s | hero damage overall very much he sue |
15697s | favored in that regard but yeah i don't |
15700s | i just |
15702s | especially with the way the shanghai |
15703s | dragon's been playing i'm not sure we're |
15704s | going to see that sergio one-on-one i |
15706s | kind of want to see it but i don't think |
15707s | it's gonna happen shanghai dragons like |
15710s | you mentioned rose have pretty much very |
15712s | much found their groove the only team |
15714s | they really struggled against recently |
15715s | and in fact their kryptonite i should |
15717s | say is uh the seoul dynasty which we'll |
15720s | see a little bit later on this week |
15722s | which is going to be quite exciting |
15724s | yeah oh absolutely i mean seoul dynasty |
15727s | has just been tearing up a storm in the |
15729s | eastern region and it's going to be |
15731s | really cool to see them in action in |
15732s | this tournament as well as we do have |
15735s | that clash of |
15737s | these regions but you know when i look |
15739s | at the dragons and i'm looking at lip |
15741s | and flutter |
15742s | there's so much versatility that they |
15744s | could go for here |
15746s | they're both incredible dps players |
15749s | their hero pools are very deep and we've |
15752s | seen a lot of different looks from the |
15753s | shanghai dragons when lip and fleta are |
15756s | so flexible |
15758s | yeah the dragons |
15759s | the last four games rose they only lost |
15761s | one map and that was the chengdu hunters |
15763s | so very much on a hot streak right now |
15765s | looks like it's true |
15767s | everybody whacking their heads at us on |
15768s | looking good trying to fight should be |
15770s | uh getting into game in just a moment |
15772s | sorry for the brief pause before we jump |
15775s | into map |
15776s | number one |
15777s | let's look at some more stats while we |
15779s | shall we are we wait |
15781s | fate versus muse on the winston although |
15784s | fate has been preferring the wrecking |
15785s | ball as a recently amused actually on |
15787s | the uh doomfist but when if they do want |
15790s | to go to a winston-style comp maybe on |
15792s | watchpoint gibraltar for example |
15794s | although you can still play ball |
15795s | doomfist there we might sing a little |
15797s | bit of that winston and this is from the |
15799s | mid-season manus qualifiers per tenth |
15802s | yeah look at that i mean you're |
15804s | absolutely right fate has definitely |
15806s | been rocking more of the wrecking ball |
15809s | but wow this is whoo geesh mutes like |
15813s | looking good |
15814s | yeah six point three deaths per ten for |
15816s | museum only three for fake don't die |
15819s | i mean that's very much of how you know |
15821s | lucha gone and izuyaki in the back line |
15824s | but how much winston is there for this |
15826s | uh sample pool huh |
15828s | strength |
15829s | maybe it's 30 seconds we don't know no |
15832s | it'll be hard imagine imagine the world |
15834s | one of the lowest |
15836s | hero pick rate is in the air watch |
15838s | league right now must be gone it must be |
15840s | like cmos no not not junk brad |
15843s | double shield double wall meta tour at |
15845s | some point not sure not sure i'm also |
15848s | very aware rose that you're wearing |
15850s | quite uh quite a cool little hawaiian |
15852s | shirt going on i've only got two kind of |
15854s | flowery hawaiian shirts going on at the |
15856s | moment so i didn't want to wear it today |
15859s | because i wanted any stuff |
15861s | i just felt like i was gonna i just |
15863s | wanted to match the the great style of a |
15866s | cute house in avril earlier today i was |
15868s | like oh you're right it was something i |
15870s | just completely forgot about in terms of |
15873s | what am i gonna wear for the mid-season |
15874s | madness tournament i thought about this |
15876s | and then like |
15877s | uh |
15879s | i don't know like a not a trench coat |
15881s | what is the thing that a trench coat |
15883s | okay if you turned up in a trench coat |
15888s | i wouldn't know what to think i got |
15889s | looking like morpheus out here you |
15890s | should get the glasses as well |
15893s | uh it looks like uh unfortunately we are |
15894s | jumping to a quick break toronto defiant |
15898s | currently uh have a small issue but that |
15899s | should get worked out in just a moment |
15902s | we'll see you on the other side |
15911s | [Music] |
15919s | [Music] |
15934s | [Music] |

16079s | [Music] |
16089s | welcome back we're about to get into the |
16090s | game in just a moment we're discussing |
16092s | our fashion sense of broadcast the only |
16093s | thing i have that is |
16095s | maybe hawaiian i don't know is this |
16097s | small little uh thing of sand this yeah |
16100s | that's about it i've just got a just a |
16102s | container full of sand a takeaway |
16104s | container for the sand that's about it |
16105s | that's about as uh sandy as it gets |
16108s | where i live gonna be real i live quite |
16110s | away from the from the ocean so uh yeah |
16112s | there's uh there's that that's what i |
16114s | brought to the table today you bought |
16115s | the fabulous dress sense as well as uh |
16117s | avril and seth and i bought uh just a |
16119s | picture of sam epic stuff |
16121s | yeah |
16123s | yeah whoa exactly i mean |
16126s | i was just trying to i was honestly |
16127s | trying to think this morning just kind |
16128s | of running uh through my apartment like |
16130s | what |
16131s | do i have anything that's like kind of |
16133s | hawaiian related i can like bring on to |
16134s | the broadcast but no just uh just some |
16136s | sand unlucky unlucky toronto defined |
16139s | should have sought their problem yeah |
16141s | and we are getting into the lobby and |
16142s | into the game in just a moment just |
16144s | waiting for the other couple of players |
16146s | to jump in the lobby then we should be |
16148s | good to go but shanghai dragons versus |
16150s | the toronto defiant is the game on your |
16152s | screens in just a moment rose |
16154s | so east versus west the first time we |
16156s | get to see it this year |
16159s | it's gonna be exciting i think |
16161s | we're not gonna see any funny silly |
16162s | games and you said or uh we were kind of |
16165s | wondering what heroes were least played |
16167s | and you were right it was junkrat who |
16169s | was at least played this season and then |
16170s | we spotted hogg down there as well i |
16172s | don't think there's going to be any |
16173s | crazy shenanigans where hulk's going to |
16174s | get played but a man can dream amazing |
16178s | they will revisit that point for our |
16180s | fourth series of the day we might have |
16182s | some things to be said about what might |
16184s | happen over there |
16185s | don't speak it into existence yet okay |
16188s | we have a match on our hands right now |
16191s | um |
16192s | but yeah i don't think we're gonna see |
16193s | roadhog here that's for sure |
16196s | yeah i mean hey it can counter wreckable |
16198s | if you can land the hook but then you |
16200s | get farmed by everything else and arno |
16202s | is played almost permanently so |
16204s | and there's yeah probably not gonna |
16206s | happen but you never know maybe hog gets |
16208s | like a giant rework at some point and |
16210s | they just or or they just ignore him |
16212s | which is fine by me to be very honest |
16214s | with you although people still you know |
16215s | do be queuing up hog in the beta right |
16217s | now so uh that's also not fun especially |
16220s | when it's just a permafrank hog which |
16222s | you can't really do in the overwatch |
16223s | league i will say you just get utterly |
16225s | owned so well okay maybe not the flank |
16228s | roadhog but have you thought about the |
16230s | flank zenyatta we've definitely seen |
16232s | that before oh yeah i don't mind that at |
16235s | all hey the more nanos |
16237s | we see |
16238s | on zen in the overwatch league the more |
16241s | confidence it gives me in uh ranked to |
16244s | ask for a nano every single time um i'm |
16246s | gonna be real with you give it to me |
16248s | maybe i'll probably i'm gonna be real |
16250s | i'm not gonna hit a single orb it's |
16251s | gonna be pretty embarrassing um tell you |
16253s | what's not embarrassing though |
16254s | the stats this season it's been looking |
16257s | pretty clean pretty clean but who's |
16259s | really surprised it is flutter of course |
16263s | absolutely i mean when we look at the |
16265s | shanghai dragons and we have lip and |
16267s | fleta playing simultaneously with each |
16269s | other you see lip more on the hit scan |
16272s | heroes and then fleta has been flexing |
16274s | over to like the echo the may and of |
16277s | course the tracer which i really don't |
16280s | think should be a surprise to anybody in |
16282s | terms of how long fleta can stay alive |
16285s | and also find value with those pulse |
16287s | bombs |
16288s | yeah there's possible ones to be kind of |
16290s | hitting though i mean tied second for uh |
16292s | pulse bomb kills attach rate is rank one |
16295s | deaths rank one damage not so much |
16296s | though 5k out of 10 not great but it |
16299s | says out of 17 players and he's 20th |
16301s | place |
16302s | math checks out almost |
16304s | i think uh still we're going to see |
16308s | the dominance from the dragons this |
16310s | series it's really up to the toronto |
16312s | defiant um to live up to the dragons and |
16315s | hopefully catch a couple of maps because |
16318s | at the end of the day they have been a |
16320s | team that's lost against the good teams |
16322s | one against some of the worst teams and |
16325s | they're just sitting in mid like uh |
16327s | just a middle of the table six and six |
16329s | in the regular season like |
16331s | this is the first time we're seeing |
16333s | these clashes but uh the dragons it just |
16335s | looks like an assailable mountain right |
16337s | now for them to climb yeah that is the |
16339s | toronto fight but there is still hope |
16341s | here we've seen a lot of individual hero |
16343s | plays from people like muse but i mean |
16345s | the dragon yeah |
16347s | they do but let's look at it from a |
16349s | different perspective as well in terms |
16351s | of the eastern teams that shanghai |
16354s | dragons has had to play against |
16357s | i don't know jaws i feel like i have a |
16359s | little bit of a question mark yes they |
16361s | have a 9-3 record but i feel like there |
16364s | are still some questions about where |
16366s | this team falls in the top four teams |
16369s | from the east that actually made it into |
16371s | the mid-season madness i mean |
16372s | earlier on in the stage shanghai dragons |
16374s | took some losses to seoul and hongsho |
16377s | spark so i just i wonder they're still |
16380s | really good i'm not trying to |
16383s | say otherwise but |
16385s | maybe toronto can actually pull out some |
16388s | amount of surprise factor that could |
16390s | throw dragons off their game because i |
16392s | do feel like when they take losses it's |
16393s | because maybe they don't have a game |
16395s | plan of how they want to approach things |
16397s | like the beginning of stage number two |
16399s | or there's just a surprise that they're |
16402s | not really sure how to adjust to |
16404s | yeah we'll have to wait and see um do i |
16406s | spy a mr packing 10 in mises camera i |
16410s | think i do |
16411s | absolute chad |
16413s | warlord um |
16415s | what |
16416s | seth's not on the broadcast anymore |
16418s | right he got off |
16420s | and then we jump into a giant port uh it |
16422s | seems like the time rift is opening and |
16424s | somehow seth is still on the broadcast |
16426s | because |
16428s | this is the team that he usually casts |
16431s | yeah so |
16432s | yeah |
16433s | yeah missed |
16434s | property here maybe he's still in the |
16436s | voice |
16437s | we don't know i don't know maybe he's |
16439s | still lingering around just to give us a |
16441s | little bit of a curse potentially looks |
16442s | like uh toronto defines still trying to |
16444s | sort out a couple of uh small problems |
16446s | but |
16448s | we should be |
16449s | there in just a moment all right i'm |
16451s | saying that i hope of course |
16453s | [Music] |
16455s | we'll see |
16456s | we'll see how it goes |
16458s | yeah |
16460s | would do be like though |
16463s | so what is your what's your favorite |
16464s | fish it doesn't have to be a hawaiian |
16466s | fish but uh what is your favorite uh |
16468s | kind of fish you know i love talking |
16470s | about fish |
16471s | i know yeah no this is great i usually |
16473s | have |
16474s | interesting things planned just in case |
16478s | to try to like entertain you with fish |
16480s | facts oh okay i i completely forgot so |
16485s | uh i don't have anything prepared for |
16487s | that right now but i will i will later |
16489s | ask me again like |
16491s | next time next time we're on |
16493s | the broadcast for mid-season madness but |
16496s | my favorite fish |
16500s | is |
16502s | salmon |
16503s | because it's tasty okay yeah |
16505s | all right okay i'll take that i like |
16507s | that okay yeah salmon is pretty pretty |
16509s | nice i like salmon they do have uh |
16513s | i they do have an interesting life cycle |
16515s | i will say if you ever look up or like |
16517s | watch a small documentary on salmon it's |
16519s | quite sad but |
16521s | they do uh they do taste quite good too |
16523s | which is uh really great i can name some |
16525s | sharks that are native to hawaii or like |
16526s | hang around hawaii okay um a lot of reef |
16529s | sharks yeah there's a white tip reef |
16531s | sharks black free sharks yeah gray reef |
16534s | sharks galapagos sharks smooth |
16536s | hammerhead actually um dang around |
16539s | hawaii as well which is pretty sweet |
16541s | that's pretty cool so uh if any of the |
16543s | players want to go shark spine that's |
16544s | quite possible a lot of them hang around |
16546s | obviously the reefs enter their name but |
16548s | yeah there's a few different species of |
16550s | shark that hang around hawaii which is |
16551s | kind of cool |
16553s | it's pretty cool |
16555s | looks like toronto to find enough shark |
16557s | facts and fish facts for now we'll come |
16559s | back uh in just a moment with more facts |
16561s | if they are not ready but we're gonna |
16562s | have a look at some of the top plays of |
16564s | the week from the toronto defiant we'll |
16566s | see in a bit |
16569s | this is the final week before the mid |
16572s | season of madness kicks off |
16577s | [Music] |
16584s | gaga now taken down legion on finding |
16586s | that kill tries to stay alive and leave |

16589s | that rail jin moon 20 hp in a dream |
16592s | dashing him ducking around somehow still |
16593s | hasn't died he kills it both what just |
16595s | happened on the screen there's no way |
16599s | 1v2 and somehow he kills them both and |
16602s | that's enough for them to get the cap |
16604s | here we go thank you observers |
16611s | [Music] |
16617s | out of control he just died |
16621s | i think they're getting ready for it as |

16624s | to get the dash reset up and running |

16630s | transcendence not enough to save |

16640s | pelicans in your face a five kill for |
16642s | the genji |
16643s | and that's the pelican we know and love |
16647s | feels like yeah he might actually leave |

16682s | infrasifer infrasight here bigger |
16683s | difference maker could actually be the |
16684s | dragon strike that will force fusion off |
16686s | the payload and that could be a cap but |
16688s | fetch is dead |
16690s | two great shots from him in three he |
16692s | gets a third he's looking for some more |
16694s | immortality field buys a little bit |
16697s | what an absolute incredible volley from |
16699s | mn3 shutting them down one after the |
16702s | other |
16703s | taking a bunch of damage straight up |
16705s | and he's dead they get the alley-oop mn3 |
16708s | able to find the head |
16710s | just take him out dynamite not at the |
16712s | ready otherwise you could try to flush |
16713s | these guys out from the back of that |

16741s | but with the immortality field he should |
16742s | be good piggy has also been frozen but |

16906s | updated brackets though |
16908s | um before we get into this game |
16912s | but don't worry we're almost there there |
16913s | you go the updated bracket would you |
16915s | look at that how magical that was |
16916s | started off the day pretty crazy |
16918s | actually spitfire versus rain 31 and a |
16921s | 3-0 for houston outlaws and the mayhem |
16924s | remember there is a losers bracket so |
16926s | the teams that do lose here today will |
16928s | fight through the lower bracket |
16930s | all the way up to that finals if they do |
16933s | make it there but i see the lobby chat |
16937s | and i see our god tier admins i see the |
16939s | godzilla players in the lobby too |
16941s | looking like everybody's about to be |
16944s | ready and jumping into the game again |
16946s | very much apologize for the pause but we |
16949s | should be good to go |
16952s | yeah |
16953s | very excited i know it's been a little |
16954s | while since we did the intro of both of |
16957s | these teams so let's just catch |
16958s | everybody up to speed real quick |
16960s | with a refresher we've got elios is our |
16962s | first map of the series shanghai dragons |
16966s | of course in toronto defiant being our |
16967s | first clash of the east versus the west |
16971s | shanghai has really been looking at |
16973s | wrecking ball and winston compositions |
16975s | but toronto looking a lot at the |
16978s | doomfist because that's been looking |
16980s | really really good for them |
16982s | maybe there's some surprise factor here |
16984s | but jaws as we also stated shanghai |
16986s | dragons are looking really good coming |
16989s | into this tournament |
16991s | they've been looking super good like um |
16993s | like we mentioned before as well toronto |
16994s | defiant they need to step up to the |
16996s | dragons level they're incredibly mid |
16999s | right now |
17000s | both physically and literally and |
17002s | metaphorically i suppose that |
17004s | performance has been wavering throughout |
17006s | the season but this is really |
17008s | where you want to come alive right i |
17009s | think a lot of the players especially |
17011s | people like twilight hisu they've been |
17013s | in these situations before these big |
17015s | tournament situations these playoff kind |
17017s | of situations that veterancy is very |
17020s | much going to lend to a lot of their |
17021s | rookies on the team |
17022s | i agree with that absolutely and you're |
17024s | going to see them kind of start to rely |
17026s | on some of those pieces that have really |
17028s | worked for them you know twilight's anna |
17030s | has been such a staple and the backbone |
17033s | really for toronto's team as a whole and |
17035s | so the fact that they get to rely on |
17037s | that more throughout this stage as they |
17039s | do look at more of the winston and the |
17041s | doomfist as the center of their |
17043s | composition i think that's going to set |
17045s | toronto defiant up here for as much |
17047s | success as possible no way oh |
17050s | managed to get back on the edge it's all |
17051s | good charon woman's got a unbelievable |
17054s | kill on the wrecking ball but it's yaki |
17056s | is actually the first one to fall |
17058s | faith still pretty low receives a cookie |
17061s | from the dj gone to heal him back up but |
17063s | the trunks define off to a decent start |
17066s | as the point unlocks and they find the |
17067s | first cap |
17069s | yeah look at that their audio issues all |
17070s | fixed and they look like they're ready |
17072s | to rumble here shanghai dragons walk |
17074s | away with a lot of ultimate charge |
17076s | though and especially when you look at |
17077s | how much disruption fate on the wrecking |
17079s | ball has been putting into the back line |
17081s | i think trolling and twilight are gonna |
17083s | need to watch out here which is why you |
17084s | end up seeing charon kind of playing a |
17086s | little bit more forward to try to make |
17087s | sure that twilight isn't left alone |
17091s | forced to recall already pretty low he's |
17092s | got the orb on him but muse was there to |
17094s | pick up the pieces nice dive by the |
17096s | toronto to fight front line however they |
17099s | do end up trading is now a 2v3 which |
17102s | while they still alive should be good |
17103s | for the toronto to fight but fake cleans |
17105s | him up one man wrecking crew right now |
17107s | is a fate maybe even another kill no not |
17110s | quite |
17111s | news hangs on for dear life this is |
17114s | toronto to fight just continue to hold |
17116s | loading up towards that nano boost this |
17117s | should be a pretty easy fight |
17119s | yeah that's awesome they have a great |
17121s | rotation coming up here with the nano of |
17123s | course maybe you get the primal rage for |
17125s | muse and of course that overclock on |
17128s | hisu is something else that you're |
17129s | looking at here |
17131s | it's gonna be a great rotation for them |
17132s | if they find value here |
17135s | should go pretty fast there we go |
17137s | there's the nano onto mu straight to the |
17139s | back line he's getting bobbed around but |
17141s | twilight fighting a killer defender is |
17143s | going to be nice a primal rage from use |
17145s | doesn't get the knockoff on delegate god |
17147s | neither does fate however him just with |
17150s | his nano fists clean them up just with |
17151s | the damage toronto to fight holding a |
17153s | firm |
17154s | shanghai dragon's back line just getting |
17156s | crunched right now |
17158s | but that's exactly the weak point that |
17160s | toronto defiant have |
17162s | found they have identified that izayaki |
17165s | and li jaegon are going to be |
17168s | integral they just gotta take him out |
17170s | now so that's been great |
17172s | nicely twilight was just hanging around |
17174s | trying to find an early auntie on the |
17176s | back line and set up another die but |
17177s | shanghai dragons actually cage side on |
17180s | right |
17181s | now i look at that held back pulse bomb |
17183s | available there's the beat hits four |
17185s | doesn't quite land on muse he might need |
17187s | a little bit of extra support shanghai |
17189s | dragons pop the doop a pulse bomb from |
17192s | finale force the transcendence on it's a |
17193s | yaki a double kill with the lead |
17195s | vladimir |
17196s | goes to the monkey gets both supports of |
17199s | the toronto defiant |
17201s | and that will be the shanghai dragons |
17202s | winning at that fight was quite |
17205s | expensive forcing that transcendence |
17207s | from uh from izu yaki was stella trying |
17210s | to fight now come in with 99 on the |
17212s | board |
17214s | yeah that's great you know toronto |
17215s | defiant they said hey we've got such a |
17217s | massive lead over the dragons and while |
17219s | that fight ended up being expensive |
17221s | ultimate wise |
17223s | but they're okay you know twilight's |
17225s | been doing a lot of damage a lot of |
17226s | healing look at how twilight has flutter |
17230s | in their scope and that nano's |
17232s | definitely going to be coming online |
17233s | very quickly to get muse back up to |
17235s | another primal rage |
17237s | yeah it's only 20 percent away |
17240s | it's where they can actually stay alive |
17241s | but long enough rally available for the |
17243s | shanghai dragons muse touched down there |
17247s | to earth and just got obliterated the |
17250s | shanghai dragons with nice focus fire |
17252s | take down the winston take down the rest |
17255s | of toronto and will continue to hold the |
17258s | point however there is they did use |
17259s | riley in that fight and they got to deal |
17261s | with this nano winston coming up |
17263s | yeah they do but look at how much |
17265s | territorial control shanghai dragons can |
17267s | take with the pulse bomb from lip and of |
17269s | course also the mines coming in from |
17272s | fate that's just so much crowd control |
17275s | and i worry that if fl lip is able to |
17277s | grab a nice pick on the back line here |
17280s | toronto really gonna struggle to get |
17282s | back in this game |
17283s | these are going pretty low lip lining up |
17285s | for a full spot connects it to summon i |
17287s | think that was the shield so i didn't |
17289s | get all of anything mines were used by |
17291s | fate so two ultimates already down now |
17293s | that winston's traced the back lolita |
17294s | gone didn't stand a chance and either |
17296s | this is yucky unless he can get a boop |
17297s | kill ain't gonna happen though moves |
17300s | with a nice two piece but fled it and |
17302s | lit even at the table three on three on |
17305s | the point with fate cleaning up these |
17306s | kills twilight and chong now dead muse |
17309s | is on his own but that's a primal race |
17311s | of milan if he really needs it tries to |
17312s | jump straight forward towards the tracer |
17314s | pops the prime motive guarantee the kill |
17316s | is 90 for the dragons is building up |
17319s | towards that elusive 99 the toronto |
17321s | defiant their supports are going to make |
17323s | their way back to the point just in time |
17325s | but it's going to be a scrappy final |
17327s | fight with weather changing into the |
17329s | tracer 20 to waste that pulse bomb there |
17331s | he is antique can he land this stick |
17333s | that's the question twilight's in his |
17335s | sights the sleep dart misses the stick |
17337s | connects |
17338s | and twilight goes down a nice return |
17340s | killed by muse killing off the lucio for |
17342s | the shanghai dragons still in control |
17344s | drawn to the final don't want to get |
17346s | swept here on this first round remember |
17349s | dragon dragons flipped over at 99 for |
17352s | toronto when they had zero a |
17353s | transcendence for the dragons to keep |
17355s | them in but another pulse bomb lands for |
17356s | the dragons it's lit this time he takes |
17358s | care of chorong and the toronto defiant |
17361s | they did find the recap but dragons win |
17364s | the fight and win the round |
17366s | oh boy that was super scrappy i felt |
17369s | like that last fight was going on for |
17371s | forever but shanghai dragons time and |
17374s | time again |
17375s | just had everybody on toronto defiance |
17378s | number they knew exactly who they were |
17379s | going after really nice focus fire |
17381s | coming in and |
17383s | i don't know you know i i feel like when |
17385s | toronto used all of their ultimates they |
17387s | just weren't able to get back on track |
17389s | in time to really be able to deal with |
17392s | shanghai catching up |
17397s | it was a clean |
17399s | i want to say reverse sweep but that |
17401s | normally entails the entire series but |
17403s | it was i mean 99 |
17405s | dragons flipped over when they had zero |
17406s | like |
17408s | feels pretty good |
17410s | toronto did had well they had some nice |
17412s | engagements very early on that's how |
17413s | they were uh able to hold the point for |
17415s | so long just the execution on to isiaki |
17418s | nijigan but look at this rose they're |
17420s | actually just gonna mirror the dragons |
17422s | on the ball in the ash |
17424s | wow well i mean if you look at this and |
17426s | you look at how long shanghai dragons |
17428s | has been playing lip on the ash and fate |
17430s | on the wrecking ball this is looking |
17432s | real good for the dragons right now |
17434s | i think toronto is gonna have to be very |
17436s | careful |
17438s | yeah dragons very much a master of this |
17440s | composition twilight does find one kill |
17443s | but the shanghai dragons just running |
17446s | around toronto right now rose |
17448s | i mean something that you talked about |
17450s | in the preamble leading up to the game i |
17452s | know it was very long time ago it feels |
17454s | like but uh fighting music two kills |
17455s | hang on a second hold that thought |
17457s | what i was gonna say is that you want to |
17459s | force twilight into a peak that is not |
17461s | the honor and they've done just that |
17463s | although trying to fight keeping |
17464s | themselves in this fight but the hands |
17468s | of muse right now is they've prevented |
17470s | the shanghai dragons from capping in |
17472s | fact facing a little bit of trouble nice |
17473s | little bit of tech there jumps to the |
17475s | high ground but with twilight killing |
17477s | flutter toronto to fight they're going |
17479s | to cap first |
17480s | well this is good news for them you know |
17482s | they were able to get up to 99 on that |
17484s | first round and that was off the back of |
17486s | some really nice defensive play just |
17489s | stopping shanghai dragons from really |
17490s | grabbing those attacks like look at that |
17493s | twilight with a huge pick onto izayaki |
17496s | to continue to rack up that percentage i |
17499s | mean that's just huge jaws |
17501s | shanghai like this they've got to be |
17503s | able to sneak past a lot of this damage |
17506s | that's coming their way and maybe |
17508s | they'll be able to grab the point and |
17509s | then do the the reverse sweep i guess as |
17512s | we want to call it |
17513s | oh |
17514s | what an unbelievable dive there car |
17516s | driver with the tracer damage falling up |
17518s | izzy dies and look at the uh disparity |
17521s | between the zenyattas like |
17523s | 64 |
17524s | to twilight having the transcendence not |
17526s | so much anymore as he used it |
17528s | to push stronger to find forward not bad |
17530s | nice little stick to finale looking |
17532s | pretty good shanghai dragons are gonna |
17534s | have to go again but yeah you are right |
17536s | rose they don't want to get they don't |
17537s | want a 99-0 situation again let's be |
17539s | real with ourselves maybe they just lose |
17541s | a fight here and just go okay we'll just |
17543s | go again we don't look maybe it got into |
17546s | our heads last round |
17547s | yeah absolutely i mean toronto still |
17549s | looked really good in that first round |
17551s | but now we're looking at shanghai |
17552s | dragons working up to a full slate of |
17555s | ultimates they have their choosing they |
17557s | could go in with the mines here lip also |
17559s | has the bob that's an extra person on |
17561s | point now |
17562s | bob |
17563s | the sick man he's online the rally |
17566s | should be good enough for the time being |
17569s | but with twilight going down they lose |
17570s | that discord orb it's really tough to |
17572s | take down fate and in fact bob looked |
17574s | like he capped the point did his work |
17576s | he's clocked in clocked out he's gone |
17578s | shanghai dragon |
17580s | in control |
17581s | yep he did something but look at that |
17583s | finale is still wreaking havoc in the |
17585s | back line of the shanghai dragon so wow |
17587s | we did see bobcat the point jaws it's |
17589s | not over just yet i think toronto's |
17591s | gonna come back in in this one i think |
17593s | uh shanghai dragons are playing bob |
17594s | enough that's for sure yeah finale doing |
17597s | lords work there getting a nice little |
17598s | double kill toronto to find they do lose |
17600s | that fight but end up getting the recap |
17602s | pretty quickly now he's who's got the |
17603s | bob i was going to mention that he was |
17605s | very far behind lipper a moment ago but |
17608s | that's just going to be more beneficial |
17609s | for this final fight |
17611s | they don't have any support ultimates |
17612s | they may have pulse bomb and they're |
17614s | going against two support ultimates from |
17616s | the dragons bob on the point to contest |
17618s | is gonna get focused if they're not |
17620s | careful but look at the suppressing fire |
17621s | onto lee jae gone have to back all the |
17623s | way up that over health isn't actually |
17625s | extending over to the rest of the team |
17626s | and look at that needs to go on lip is |
17628s | yucky are going to go down and there's |
17629s | over time ticks through it's up to |
17631s | flutter and fate to try and keep this a |
17634s | point contested tonight he's just |
17636s | hunting him down 60 hp a pulse bomb |
17639s | doesn't even need a dream as a round is |
17642s | completed by toronto and they tie elios |
17644s | up one a piece |
17646s | look at that too hey if bob can do |
17648s | something like half the point or he can |
17650s | do something by uh zoning everybody else |
17653s | off so that actually worked out great |
17655s | for hisu to have that bob come online |
17657s | secondarily to lips but we're heading |
17660s | over to lighthouse now and |
17662s | we're seeing some maybe interesting |
17665s | things happen here |
17668s | yeah of course it's twilight just |
17673s | certified |
17674s | nasty angle there |
17678s | easy yucky you just don't want to be |
17680s | peeking that |
17682s | wow |
17683s | yeah i yeah that's rough i don't know |
17686s | how much you expect that to happen |
17687s | exactly yeah it's like three pixels wide |
17691s | the orb just slots in between it |
17693s | perfectly it's tough it's really tough |
17695s | you've got to know that this ends on |
17697s | mega pack and you're like oh maybe i get |
17699s | right clicked here but |
17700s | not uh not something you could really |
17702s | counteract a lot of the time |
17704s | all right |
17706s | third and final round |
17707s | for illios |
17709s | they're trying to set up |
17711s | someone cheeky with fate yeah they found |
17713s | both supports look at this peel though |
17715s | coming out from chorong right now |
17717s | protecting |
17718s | twilights no recall available from the |
17720s | lip he gets chased down isu finds the |
17722s | final blow in there |
17724s | again trying to set up something with |
17726s | the rest of his team just unable to do |
17729s | so |
17730s | yeah i mean just look at how much |
17732s | consistent damage is coming out from |
17734s | toronto right now especially when he was |
17736s | able to play the ash that's why we look |
17738s | at the ash versus the sojourn right now |
17740s | and we look at ashes having a bit more |
17743s | of that damage output just because you |
17745s | don't have to charge up those shots but |
17747s | shanghai they're playing a very divey |
17748s | composition instead of that poke |
17751s | and that's why you play the dies |
17753s | nice dive on tc |
17754s | they shouldn't be in too much trouble |
17756s | sony wrecking ball versus wrecking ball |
17758s | still needs a little bit of help however |
17761s | point is in control of toronto to fight |
17763s | of course charon going down this should |
17764s | be an easy cleanup nice dive onto he's |
17767s | on the high ground rose a bit more |
17768s | difficult for is twilight and chong to |
17770s | poke him out there |
17772s | yeah you do have the brigitte which |
17774s | allows you to have at least more of that |
17775s | long range as well as of course the orb |
17778s | of harmony but i think you're still |
17780s | looking at that being a bit difficult |
17781s | when you are |
17783s | fighting against heroes on shanghai |
17785s | dragons that can just chunk you down so |
17788s | fast lip can one clip you to the point |
17790s | where you're below half health and then |
17792s | fleta can just go in with a focusing |
17794s | beam and finish you off so you've got to |
17796s | be very careful as a defiant to not get |
17798s | caught out on your own |
17801s | all right |
17802s | dragons once again trying to clear his |
17804s | off the high ground |
17806s | as fate and muse just tackle this point |
17810s | both explosive ultimates are online that |
17812s | possible and the minds but lose |
17813s | postponed get something done a little |
17814s | bit quicker as he soon ends up falling |
17816s | and now the execution of the dive onto |
17818s | is yaki but you're not going to be quite |
17819s | so lucky no one elijah gone is right |
17822s | next to him |
17823s | easy to be one twilight kicking three |
17826s | people away from him but uh you still |
17828s | have to deal with that break son |
17830s | all right 54 percent now on building |
17832s | rose |
17833s | yeah shanghai is definitely keeping |
17835s | control of this point but toronto and |
17837s | shanghai right now are looking at four |
17840s | ultimates apiece izuki might also just |
17842s | get a big pick here |
17845s | transcendence a lot of old spots uh from |
17847s | the shanghai dragons they lose the gong |
17849s | pretty early |
17852s | those mines to waylay the toronto |
17854s | defiant but they trade transcendence for |
17855s | rally this yaki is pretty low lee gone |
17858s | and twilight |
17860s | are the supports with the alts right now |
17862s | trying to define put themselves on the |
17863s | point already but it should be contested |
17865s | pretty easily there we go flood is in |
17867s | making moves change into the wrecking |
17869s | ball 50 ultimate charge already off of |
17872s | one slam swings are right back around |
17874s | now he's trying to help fate double |
17876s | wrecking ball on the field there's a |
17877s | dirty joke there but i'm not gonna say |
17879s | it the shanghai dragons are 95 |
17881s | building up to 100 they just clear the |
17883s | mines off of the point fletter |
17885s | transforms back into echo bob is dealt |
17888s | with and now turn to the fight trying to |
17890s | get back in time they're not so lucky |
17893s | couldn't even get that transcendence off |
17895s | the shanghai dragons off to a massive |
17898s | start |
17899s | yeah that looked really clean from the |
17901s | shanghai dragons for that third round |
17904s | but honestly i just feel like both of |
17906s | these teams when they're able to play in |
17908s | their lane they're going to perform |
17910s | really well here we saw great moments |
17912s | from toronto defiant when we look at how |
17914s | ruins went and also just the first round |
17917s | of illios overall was really close so |
17920s | i'm really excited to see what's gonna |
17921s | happen for the rest of the series |
17924s | yeah i look forward to |
17926s | maybe avoiding lip let's uh let's send |
17928s | that one right over sign johnny to the |
17930s | toronto defiant we'll see how much that |
17932s | ends up working out because right now |
17934s | not quite so lucky as the toronto |
17937s | defiant dragons off to a good start |
17939s | we'll see after this break for map |
17940s | number two |
17954s | [Music] |
17969s | [Music] |
18026s | do |
18030s | [Music] |
18038s | [Applause] |
18038s | [Music] |
18176s | um |
18177s | [Music] |
18189s | [Music] |
18201s | [Music] |
18208s | welcome back toronto divine and the |
18210s | shanghai dragons kicking us off here in |
18212s | dana one of the mid-season madness the |
18214s | first time we're seeing the east teams |
18216s | versus the west teams i can bother is |
18220s | our next map it is when it uh loses pick |
18222s | so trying to find select that one |
18225s | yeah love it maybe get to play some |
18227s | doomfist maybe a bit more |
18229s | winston definitely something that's up |
18231s | toronto defiance alley we've seen them |
18233s | perform really well and i can vault us |
18235s | so far |
18236s | and maybe that's just what toronto needs |
18239s | to make shanghai just a little |
18241s | uncomfortable to give them more of an |
18243s | edge in this series |
18248s | yeah just like we're heading straight |
18249s | into the map yeah no substitutions |
18251s | either rose so we are seeing just like |
18255s | for like i don't think there's going to |
18256s | be many during this series but |
18259s | we can all hope and pray i have to wait |
18262s | and see if any team has got some wacky |
18264s | strats coming out of the gate |
18266s | for this one but i think uh i think like |
18268s | you said rose is going to be some more |
18270s | doomfist for muse |
18274s | i think so i mean muse didn't look bad |
18276s | on the winston either when we or the |
18279s | wrecking ball i think there were |
18280s | definitely some great moments on both of |
18282s | those hero picks in that first map but i |
18285s | i think that when you look at how muse |
18287s | has been performing over the past few |
18289s | weeks it's really been that doomfist |
18291s | that toronto defiant has been super |
18293s | comfortable with so i'd love to see the |
18295s | doomfist here |
18297s | yeah there you go you've got your wish |
18298s | uh doom fears from twilight |
18302s | on the ash okay |
18303s | and not doing it too bad whatsoever and |
18306s | then twilight also play |
18308s | his hero that he is very much known for |
18310s | in the honor this is the look of the |
18312s | toronto define i think a lot of people |
18313s | were expecting to play almost |
18315s | permanently in the mid-season madness |
18317s | yeah absolutely i mean twilight again |
18320s | has was one of the best honest that we |
18322s | have in the league right now and then of |
18324s | course when you're able to use all of |
18326s | these pieces like it works out well this |
18329s | is what toronto tavian is really good at |
18331s | we've seen other teams that look for |
18333s | these very strong moments like london |
18334s | spitfire great example reinhardt rush |
18337s | that's what they're good at that's what |
18338s | they're going to excel at when they get |
18340s | a chance to play it so really nice look |
18342s | from toronto to find it so far to play |
18344s | in that comfortability but shanghai is |
18346s | switching things up here as we see them |
18349s | come out of their spawn doors with the |
18352s | sojourn and the zarya here |
18357s | going to be looking those spawn doors |
18358s | again in just a moment |
18360s | there's nice little dive there from |
18362s | toronto |
18363s | yeah i really like the zarya pig you can |
18365s | save a lot of people from not only the |
18367s | antis but obviously the doomfist as well |
18370s | quite beneficial when your back line can |
18372s | sometimes be crunched quite quickly |
18374s | although with a break in an honor it's |
18375s | not the word okay wow |
18378s | didn't see that one coming |
18380s | i don't think he did either |
18388s | right well fight oh slipped got a bubble |
18391s | off just in time |
18392s | however antenates are being flung |
18394s | another nice headshot by liv now she's |
18396s | jumping straight up onto the high ground |
18398s | to try and dissuade the rest of toronto |
18400s | to find liv |
18402s | just |
18403s | extending this fight for the shanghai |
18404s | dragon should be pretty easy to clean up |
18407s | they got two ticks already finale tried |
18409s | to get the assassination the one clip in |
18411s | the back ain't gonna work lift with a |
18413s | right click on the melee took him down |
18415s | he's trying to get a little bit of |
18417s | damage in but twilight actually from the |
18420s | high ground still existing not for long |
18422s | enough though unfortunately as the |
18425s | shanghai dragons do end up capping point |
18426s | a |
18427s | uh charong is like quickly backing off |
18430s | here as well gave that orb of harmony |
18431s | over just to see if twilight could |
18432s | survive a little bit longer and eat some |
18435s | time off of the clock but ultimately |
18437s | yeah shanghai dragons going to go ahead |
18439s | and cap that first point open up these |
18441s | doors and get the payload rolling look |
18444s | at how toronto defiant have already set |
18446s | themselves up on the high ground as well |
18447s | to be able to take that advantage as |
18449s | finale looks for a target with this |
18451s | pulse bomb |
18455s | yeah i guess it's nice to have the high |
18456s | ground i suppose |
18457s | yeah don't worry guys we've got height |
18459s | it's fine |
18461s | all right finale with the poles |
18463s | just trying to chill out right now they |
18464s | don't want to give faye any free space |
18466s | if they gets up to height and then |
18467s | couldn't pocket lip and uh better it can |
18470s | be quite devastating is the aki to be |
18472s | fair but he's trying to make it in road |
18474s | spots targets to pulse but instantly |
18476s | hits that recall doesn't want to get a |
18477s | head shot on melee |
18479s | now he's even getting checked by the |
18481s | rest of toronto but look at that now |
18484s | they're slowly just |
18486s | getting as yaki and lizzy gone on the |
18487s | high ground rose |
18488s | yeah well you have to because how else |
18490s | are you really going to contend against |
18492s | twilight and also nice stick |
18496s | tracer really does love the pulse bob |
18498s | that's kind of crazy nice kill onto fate |
18500s | now though on two muse he spotted a |
18502s | victim it is izzy yucky and oh in fact |
18506s | uh in return on to liv doesn't really |
18508s | get anything done with it at all maybe a |
18509s | bit of poke damage but not much else |
18511s | didn't even combine it with overclock |
18513s | because the fight was already over |
18516s | it's a bit of a wasted ultimate as muse |
18518s | just takes care of the rest |
18520s | well i think izuki with that nano was |
18523s | really hoping that lip would be able to |
18525s | do something with it right maybe you |
18526s | don't have to charge up those shots as |
18528s | fast and you can just kind of take that |
18530s | extra little punch of damage and try to |
18533s | make something happen but |
18535s | muse knows how to punch yeah i don't |
18537s | know i don't know where i was going with |
18538s | that transition but let's talk about |
18540s | muse real fast because he basically |
18541s | cleaned up the fight and he might just |
18543s | do it again |
18544s | yeah kind of kind of crazy control |
18546s | museums right now i will say yeah he |
18548s | punched uh fate into that small room |
18551s | took him out easy peasy but it started |
18552s | off with his who actually head shotting |
18554s | uh izyaki on top of that yeah trying to |
18557s | find in a good spot mew's looking for |
18559s | another engages meteor strike |
18561s | there's a get out of jail free card and |
18564s | the small rooms too can be quite |
18565s | devastating |
18567s | nice little leap cancel |
18568s | now they're just chasing it down on the |
18570s | high ground there is the bob that he's |
18573s | who gets dealt with but there's still |
18574s | five people online for the defiant bob |
18577s | putting down a ton of damage but lip and |
18580s | fled are going to match that and more as |
18583s | the shanghai dragons just take control |
18585s | this high ground |
18586s | it was a really nice attempt from |
18588s | toronto kind of using the bob to make |
18590s | sure that shanghai dragons were in a |
18592s | position where muse might be able to get |
18594s | some big pigs with that meteor strike |
18596s | but the way the shank knight dragons use |
18598s | those cooldowns just to stay alive is |
18601s | why they are coming out ahead in this |
18603s | fight where it looked like fate was |
18605s | going to go down but had those bubbles |
18606s | ligia gone had the rally and now we're |
18609s | looking at this where shanghai fate can |
18611s | just go ahead and use the graviton surge |
18613s | at the door |
18616s | could do a muse first nice little punch |
18618s | there's the grav they didn't get anybody |
18621s | in fact maybe some on the other side of |
18622s | the wall nope not at all oh he's getting |
18624s | kicked oh i got kicked off the edge |
18627s | oh my god you got you've got to be happy |
18629s | with yourself if you're charming right |
18631s | now two post bombs they do trade looking |
18634s | good though with toronto find on the |
18635s | point and uh yeah there's those zen |
18638s | buffs coming in for you kicking the |
18640s | zarya straight off the map oh my god |
18643s | hey i thought zarya worked out but |
18644s | clearly it's the zenyatta that's working |
18647s | out just a little bit more there i mean |
18649s | this is really big though for toronto |
18650s | because they got the pulse bomb out of |
18652s | flutter they're actually forcing fate |
18654s | off of the zarya as well we're gonna see |
18657s | face switch over to the wrecking ball |
18658s | here it does get you towards that second |
18661s | point just a little bit faster there's |
18663s | just so much ground to cover as you're |
18665s | hoping that these dives will be a little |
18666s | bit faster |
18669s | wow muse's health bar disappeared in a |
18671s | blink of an eye just then straight up to |
18673s | the bar nope decides not today yeah even |
18676s | that's a little bit too much damage even |
18677s | if you have the damage resist from the |
18680s | nano |
18681s | still want to control height the |
18682s | shanghai dragons have 40 seconds to go |
18685s | to put the payload in is so close i |
18687s | guess ideally you want to be able to |
18689s | force it somehow force the toronto |
18690s | defiance positioning but it looks like |
18692s | dragons are happy with just taking high |
18694s | ground lives got a perfect shot he could |
18696s | line up with the transcendence from the |
18698s | toronto defense keeping everybody alive |
18699s | and well but they're gonna |
18701s | there it is oh what did i say put |
18704s | pressure on the payload towards the |
18705s | position of the toronto defined and |
18706s | that's exactly what happened but they |
18708s | didn't force anything because the |
18709s | shanghai dragons just hit him with a fat |
18712s | c9 |
18714s | well that's the west region for you for |
18716s | those of you that are unfamiliar with |
18718s | how the west region operates sometimes |
18720s | they just |
18721s | leave the payload alone |
18724s | so here we are third point i can follow |
18727s | shanghai dragons moving towards that |
18729s | final destination it very much feels |
18731s | like you should like you should be used |
18734s | to getting c9 at this point not |
18735s | necessarily the toronto defiant but the |
18737s | uh |
18738s | the west region but yeah |
18740s | there we go um that's not new |
18743s | yeah very like the last couple of weeks |
18745s | have just been a blur |
18747s | of c9s and just |
18750s | random games a minute to go for the |
18752s | dragons though of rose |
18754s | got a fair few tools or at least a few |
18756s | tools coming up good stick finale with |
18759s | the recall each one goes down and check |
18760s | out dragons cannot waste another small |
18763s | push they're going to have to go again |
18765s | that rally is too valuable |
18767s | absolutely and look you might even be |
18768s | able to get izayaki up to the nano boost |
18771s | as well so that's another tool in the |
18773s | shanghai dragon's back pocket but what |
18777s | is this |
18778s | was not alive yet |
18780s | why the pulse bomb and the mines here |
18782s | dragons |
18784s | yeah a bit of a |
18786s | over investment nice bit of attack there |
18787s | by muse puts the power block up gets the |
18789s | powered up punch from the mind damage |
18792s | again started off with one of the |
18793s | supports getting a pick toronto defiance |
18795s | churro managed to find a right click on |
18797s | to flutter and that muse is holding |
18799s | super far up riley to start off the |
18801s | fight however the bob is going to way |
18803s | lay the dragons for just a time a short |
18805s | amount of time i say that he's now |
18807s | napping on the job liv does get punched |
18810s | into the wall as every ultimate and then |
18812s | some is thrown in |
18813s | twilight does end up falling down not |
18815s | before wasting a lot of that overclock |
18817s | sent out by lip muse into the back line |
18819s | takes care of the yaki so dragons now |
18821s | only have one support remaining so to |
18823s | destroy the fire but the healing output |
18824s | from that transcendence is all too good |
18826s | chong does fall as he comes out of the |
18829s | trance as the toronto defiant now health |
18831s | bars are dwindling as the dragons remain |
18834s | in control of the point ot is here spawn |
18837s | advantage is the toronto fight he's |
18838s | gonna be good though rose it's gonna be |
18840s | good i think for shanghai dragons fates |
18842s | working up to those mines just gonna go |
18844s | ahead and throw those on the point if |
18846s | they even |
18847s | goes down charon to follow in an ot |
18851s | shanghai dragons managed to cap that |
18853s | point at the very end |
18855s | that looked bad when isiaki went down |
18857s | and that rally really did help him at |
18859s | the end of it |
18862s | not gonna say that this was because |
18864s | shanghai dragons got a bat cap initiated |
18867s | but |
18868s | i do think we would be in a very |
18870s | different situation if toronto defiant |
18872s | had not let that back cap happen |
18875s | yeah |
18876s | yeah we all yeah |
18879s | oh man i mean |
18881s | unfortunately we're jumping into a brief |
18882s | pause |
18883s | um |
18884s | i guess toronto pondering what happened |
18886s | with that c9 but yeah that's i think |
18889s | that's what |
18890s | a lot of people were thinking over the |
18892s | last couple of weeks with the amount of |
18895s | c9s that did happen i mean the gibraltar |
18897s | game i think we casted that one was |
18900s | potentially the most horrendous lot of |
18902s | c9s i've ever seen |
18904s | what four with how many did you write on |
18906s | that card it was like three i think |
18908s | three or four oh yeah i'm just out there |
18910s | yeah |
18911s | yeah |
18912s | yeah that's uh burned into a lot of |
18914s | people's memories right now yeah just |
18917s | trying to forget about that thanks for |
18918s | bringing that back up yeah sorry my bad |
18921s | i don't know well you know some of the |
18923s | maybe uh the viewers out there that only |
18925s | watch the the apac broadcast maybe |
18928s | should be |
18930s | informed of what happened in the last |
18931s | couple of weeks of north america it's |
18933s | just c9 after c9 after c night |
18936s | by |
18937s | london spitfire and against london |
18938s | spitfire it was a crazy time looks like |
18941s | twilight might be having a couple of |
18942s | small issues |
18944s | so again apologies for the brief pause i |
18946s | know seth's not here we can't blame him |
18949s | but i'm going to blame him in spirit |
18952s | there we go |
18954s | uh-huh |
18955s | yeah |
18957s | it's not our fault that's that's all we |
18959s | want you to know cat it's not our fault |
18962s | casters can't actually start the game by |
18964s | the way that's true that i mean |
18968s | there's definitely a point now where |
18970s | people don't actually believe that |
18971s | although to be fair way back when when |
18974s | was this like |
18976s | six plus years ago when i like first |
18978s | started i was technically in control of |
18980s | lobby so i could do that |
18982s | but uh not so much anymore |
18989s | six years ago that's fine i don't really |
18991s | i don't really mind that too much |
18993s | okay lip looking pretty good on the |
18995s | sojourn of thus far 50 railgun actually |
18998s | not bad but look at that two deaths 12 |
19000s | final blows yeah that's not dying and |
19003s | then some |
19004s | yeah that's nutty that's really really |
19006s | good and you know we talk about a lot of |
19009s | times who's leading the sojourn |
19011s | leaderboards in the west but we do have |
19014s | to look at the sojourns that are at the |
19015s | top of the leaderboards in the east as |
19017s | well and lip is definitely one of those |
19019s | players that can perform well on whether |
19022s | it's the ash the sojourn we've even seen |
19025s | cassidy come out from lip as well it's |
19027s | just been really great to see that |
19028s | flexibility and also the impact that |
19031s | this particular player has been having |
19033s | on this team |
19036s | yeah i mean |
19037s | avoiding as johnny said maybe toronto |
19040s | definitely had been doing that because |
19041s | the amount of deaths would |
19043s | indicate yeah exactly it would indicate |
19046s | that pretty well i think |
19048s | there we go yeah like i mentioned before |
19049s | we are in a brief pause |
19051s | but we should be good to go in just a |
19054s | moment i guess yeah we are kind of |
19055s | catching up |
19056s | to the rest of uh the |
19060s | the apac broadcasters pauses and stuff |
19062s | like that so yeah gotta get our time in |
19065s | somehow |
19067s | yeah and this is quite funny rose if |
19068s | seth is the the king of pauses then i |
19070s | think we are the king of c9s |
19073s | that would be yes quite quite the title |
19075s | considering that london game on |
19077s | gibraltar i will say |
19078s | i don't know if i want that title but i |
19080s | think it is an honorary title that we |
19083s | have now |
19085s | acquired as we look at the c9 because we |
19087s | can talk about it all day but i feel |
19089s | like we need to sh to show it |
19092s | might as well will you show it again |
19094s | flutter do be chilling |
19096s | i think he's going to emote that |
19098s | that is the most bmc nine of all just |
19101s | emoting on payload |
19103s | oh man that's a that's a real rough and |
19105s | just as i spoke about pressure at the |
19107s | payload too it's almost like it read my |
19109s | mind |
19110s | perfect stuff |
19112s | it's quite and uh i wouldn't say it's |
19113s | like an egregious amount of distance |
19115s | away but still it doesn't have the |
19117s | numbers on the screen so it's uh yeah |
19119s | pretty pretty crazy |
19122s | yeah it's it's not that bad i mean you |
19125s | know tracers can sometimes be slippery |
19128s | very mobile so |
19130s | maybe they just kind of |
19132s | sneak past you but |
19134s | we've seen some egregious c9s yeah we |
19137s | have there's got to be there's got to be |
19139s | some sort of tealist maker out there |
19140s | right now that has a list of all of c9s |
19144s | that have like links to the c9s they |
19146s | just you know what we need |
19148s | you know what we need you know how we |
19149s | have the hide like the player hydration |
19151s | list |
19152s | of oh showings |
19154s | what teams have been victims of c9s oh |
19158s | god |
19159s | there's got it |
19161s | that i don't know how you could build |
19163s | that into the stats but |
19165s | if there was a way it definitely should |
19167s | be built in at this point |
19169s | but i i think most teams have fallen |
19171s | victor to a c9 at one point in the |
19173s | overwatch league there's gotta be |
19174s | there's |
19175s | well |
19176s | yeah surely surely every team is c9 at |
19180s | one point or like bin c9 |
19183s | has to be there can't be a team that is |
19185s | just strictly immune to c9s but that |
19188s | would incr that would just take an |
19191s | unbelievable amount of research on like |
19194s | uh |
19195s | on how many c9s a team uh each someone's |
19198s | done it though i feel like someone out |
19200s | there has actually maybe this |
19202s | yeah |
19204s | it was a lot harder too actually to be |
19205s | fair and overwatch one because there was |
19207s | more players so like it was way harder |
19209s | to see knowing because you were just |
19210s | like well that's true |
19212s | you just have the diva or whatever sit |
19214s | on the payload so or near the payload |
19217s | so i guess in overwatch two you could |
19219s | argue because there's less players |
19222s | it is easier to c9 is that headsets on |
19224s | heads |
19226s | looks like it |
19227s | are the lads ready |
19229s | maybe hopefully we'll get into the game |
19230s | in just a moment yeah sorry for the |
19233s | brief pause once again |
19236s | should be good to go then |
19238s | well at least if you're just tuning in |
19239s | you haven't missed much |
19241s | one and a half maps |
19243s | there you go |
19244s | in our first of three we paused for you |
19245s | person that just tuned into the stream |
19247s | we paused for you |
19249s | exactly imagine me pointing at you and |
19251s | going we pause for you |
19254s | all good |
19256s | well |
19258s | yeah i mean |
19259s | look if not we can just go back to uh |
19261s | fish facts again |
19263s | or |
19263s | sure talk about the |
19265s | sharks that kind of chill around hawaii |
19268s | i'm down for that you know what is a |
19269s | cool looking shark which has a giant |
19271s | wingspan why i say wingspan fin span |
19274s | oceanic white tips their their fin span |
19278s | is it looks huge they're quite cute |
19281s | looking sharks or thresher sharks are |
19282s | quite cute looking they've got a giant |
19284s | tail that they use as like a |
19285s | it's like a whip and it just cracks in |
19287s | the water and uh they use that to stun |
19290s | fish which is pretty sweet that is |
19292s | really cool how some animals have |
19294s | adapted to |
19296s | actually use like that electrosensory |
19298s | against other animals |
19301s | because like that's just the shock of |
19303s | like the tail hitting the water is |
19305s | enough sometimes to stun a fish like |
19308s | that it is pretty cool |
19310s | they are pretty sweet oh my god i see |
19312s | the chicken |
19314s | people are are everybody is r r r fate r |
19318s | t y |
19319s | i'm r |
19321s | are i'm pausing okay we're on pausing |
19323s | we're getting back into the game don't |
19325s | worry don't worry hopefully that didn't |
19327s | take the steam out of the sales or the |
19329s | wind out of themselves yeah i guess you |
19331s | could blow steam into the cells of the |
19333s | payload bad work yeah the the gas out of |
19336s | the payload i don't know but regardless |
19338s | we are going back into the game it's |
19339s | gonna be shanghai dragons now on the |
19341s | defense and yeah ot cap fought the |
19344s | dragons uh in that previous round |
19347s | yep that's right so toronto here can |
19350s | cap all three points and as long as they |
19352s | get over a minute left in the time bank |
19355s | to do that then |
19357s | that's a winnable situation for them and |
19360s | that might tie up the series and then we |
19361s | get to go into extra maps and definitely |
19363s | looking towards that but we've got |
19366s | another replay here and this is um |
19368s | all the news |
19370s | yeah punch |
19373s | into chorong is a loving |
19375s | kick |
19377s | it's still so silly and like oh nice |
19380s | little bird shot that was cool um |
19382s | i i still think |
19384s | it feels a little bit weird playing |
19385s | against the zen with a kick because |
19386s | you're always like oh yeah there's no |
19388s | you know you're on the edge of the map |
19390s | you're like oh there's no lucio and then |
19391s | you remember oh yeah zen got that buff |
19393s | where you can just kick people off and |
19394s | he gets 50 yeah damage like if it was |
19396s | like |
19397s | a lot of people are used to it at this |
19399s | point but still it's a little bit |
19401s | surprising when it does happen um if |
19402s | you're on the receiving end of it you're |
19404s | like oh yeah |
19405s | he can kick me away that kind of sucks |
19408s | yeah for sure four minutes from the time |
19410s | bank |
19411s | trying to defiant |
19413s | on the same comp just going to run his |
19415s | on the ash amuse on |
19416s | the doomfist |
19418s | yeah but take a look at shanghai dragons |
19420s | defense here they've already switched |
19421s | things up a little bit fate's on the |
19423s | winston to kick things off for this |
19424s | defense and i really like that because i |
19426s | feel like when we see shanghai dragons |
19428s | play some of these more divy |
19430s | compositions on the defense they're able |
19432s | to hold on really strong because |
19434s | basically you're waiting for cooldowns |
19436s | to come in |
19437s | and then get shots like that |
19439s | yeah i'm real shocked |
19442s | nice little body block there from elijah |
19443s | gone protecting izyaki |
19446s | who is suffering from a little bit of |
19447s | burn damage |
19449s | yeah lip has just been on fire on the |
19451s | sojourn already |
19457s | yeah it's been looking great i mean lip |
19459s | at this point has a lot that you can |
19460s | kind of charge off of i feel like |
19462s | especially when muse is powering up to |
19464s | jump in that's a really nice |
19467s | charge battery uh to kind of refresh |
19470s | your shots here but |
19471s | heisu also can just get some nice |
19473s | consistent damage in especially if you |
19475s | can avoid that winston bubble altogether |
19478s | oh nice headshot can he finish it off oh |
19480s | the joke oh there's one hp that would |
19483s | have been such a nice big pc to find but |
19485s | luckily quick things on the supports |
19486s | from the dragons to keep lip alive |
19489s | couldn't quite get it on to flutter |
19491s | however who does end up going down is |
19493s | the aki looking immortal there for a |
19494s | second as muse was nano straight into |
19496s | him lee jaegon could probably take this |
19498s | 1v1 but maybe not the 2v1 muse is sob 60 |
19502s | hp ends up killing a lip as the shanghai |
19505s | dragons fall over and they're trying to |
19507s | define or unlock the pilot |
19509s | nice quick cap for them as well so |
19511s | toronto they're also walking away with |
19513s | quite a bit |
19515s | they didn't have to use much there at |
19517s | all i mean even twilight |
19518s | chose lucio just to try to get back a |
19520s | little bit faster but ultimately going |
19523s | back over to the ana because that spawn |
19525s | is so much closer now |
19527s | but shanghai dragons already getting set |
19529s | up on that high ground of these often ct |
19531s | teams do |
19533s | and with lip having the overclock |
19535s | already jaws this might be tough for |
19538s | toronto to fight to get past |
19541s | yeah somebody pretty scary run into him |
19543s | that's for sure on the |
19545s | best of days |
19547s | oh they got two post ones kind of deal |
19549s | with him maybe if another post one |
19550s | morning but quite unlikely just hunting |
19553s | for the support i can imagine payload's |
19556s | still moving finale setting up for a |
19557s | dive on the high ground spots both |
19559s | supports lobs in at the pulse doesn't |
19561s | quite get much i think maybe that was a |
19564s | stick or some sort of connection a |
19565s | legion just |
19567s | just managed to bash away so we didn't |
19568s | get uh it didn't connect there is the |
19570s | overclock from lib news goes so far low |
19575s | and nice double headshot maybe go triple |
19577s | chill wrong in the way oh flair takes |
19579s | one kill luke doesn't want to tussle |
19580s | with the bob for the shanghai dragons |
19582s | dps clean that up |
19584s | now lips also just trying to pay mind |
19587s | over to charon as well you just don't |
19590s | really want to be in that zenyatta's |
19591s | sight lines |
19592s | but now at least toronto they've gotten |
19594s | a few of those heavy hitting ultimates |
19596s | out of the dragons and they can really |
19598s | use this transcendence not reactively |
19600s | but maybe more proactively to try to |
19602s | keep themselves in an aggressive stance |
19605s | to get past the dragons and the |
19606s | stronghold that they have on this high |
19608s | ground |
19609s | yeah maybe they can use it to |
19611s | oh there it is |
19612s | okay okay get away he do be kind of |
19615s | chilling though that's about it he's you |
19618s | died to a head shot strong with a nice |
19620s | kick away from the on to the winston |
19622s | does save himself for the time being in |
19624s | fact gets narrowed by twilight to keep |
19626s | him in the in the fight i sleep on to |
19628s | fate who is also a nano people send to |
19630s | the ground for the time being a little |
19632s | punch but a primal rage pop for fate is |
19634s | going to keep him alive and well in this |
19637s | fight still the perma pocket on chorong |
19639s | to keep toronto defined nice and healthy |
19642s | finale was sleeping just for a moment |
19644s | but it's actually fighter who's now |
19645s | sleeping with the fishes as the toronto |
19647s | defiance now trying to take control of |
19649s | this castle finally forced a recall as |
19652s | the meteor strike crashes down to earth |
19654s | and kills ligia gone these punches from |
19656s | muse looking so good right now is yaki |
19658s | forced into the front line of toronto |
19661s | cleaned up and the dragons are now gonna |
19663s | have to defend on the bridge |
19665s | what a nice example though of how muse's |
19667s | doomfist has been so impactful for |
19669s | toronto defiant as a whole i mean i |
19672s | definitely wouldn't want to be against a |
19674s | doomfist in those close corridors of |
19676s | that castle but especially not against |
19678s | muse you could see how much trouble the |
19680s | dragons were having even though izayaki |
19682s | actually landed asleep but where are the |
19685s | dragons now they've got to come back in |
19686s | and contest here and faith's already |
19689s | gone |
19690s | yeah so lee jay gone |
19692s | another pulse bomb from flutter |
19694s | transcendence hey honestly maybe you |
19697s | just die there if you're trying to be |
19698s | honest like don't even waste the |
19700s | transcendence of course that was like a |
19701s | split second decision making thing but |
19704s | yeah fletcher throws away the pulse bomb |
19706s | point capped for toronto two minutes and |
19709s | 50 seconds rose you were saying they |
19710s | just need more than a minute and they |
19712s | should be good and look at this they |
19713s | might end up with uh more than two if |
19715s | they're lucky wow i mean they definitely |
19717s | could just roll through this twilight's |
19719s | getting the nano online but lip |
19721s | overclock |
19722s | yeah okay i spoke maybe a little bit too |
19726s | soon there yeah charmander museum of |
19727s | going down the overclock |
19730s | does clean up the rest |
19732s | dragons still in a nice position they |
19734s | have two support ultimates coming up in |
19736s | just a moment |
19738s | that's gonna be good for them as long as |
19739s | they don't have to layer them on top of |
19741s | each other hopefully the nana was able |
19743s | to get one of those bigger ultimates up |
19744s | online maybe you would save it use it to |
19746s | save somebody but i'm really looking at |
19748s | ligigon's rally as kind of the biggest |
19751s | factor in maybe winning this next team |
19753s | fight especially because at this point |
19754s | if you're shanghai dragons you just want |
19757s | to stall out toronto defiant long enough |
19759s | that if they are going to cap all three |
19761s | points they do it with no time in the |
19763s | bank or less than a minute |
19766s | glad to hear that recall pretty early on |
19769s | in that fight that bob doing an |
19772s | unbelievable amount of work flooded he's |
19774s | still behind the team and bob's just |
19776s | going to be playing thor man right now |
19778s | somewhere she can really do he's got to |
19779s | wait that bot to disappear before he |
19781s | tries to enter the castle pulse bomb in |
19783s | the spawn kills a lip as toronto to |
19785s | fight with a minute and 30 seconds to go |
19788s | are ready to rock and roll another nano |
19790s | boost on to chorong look at this one man |
19792s | army in the front line needs you going |
19794s | does he stand a chance lucky he's got a |
19795s | shield in front of his face and the |
19796s | rally's going off so chorong couldn't |
19798s | make quick work of him in fact it was |
19800s | the other way around lip finishing off |
19802s | with a head shot as soon as that nano |
19803s | ran out twilight has been sussed out no |
19806s | hiding in the events for you i don't |
19807s | think although saying that mew says they |
19809s | don't have fun and kill until dj gone |
19811s | and the payload is near the point |
19813s | however with the better spawns the |
19816s | shanghai dragons do win out the fight |
19818s | and now though toronto defiant doesn't |
19820s | really have enough left in the tank it |
19822s | feels like unless chong or we see finale |
19825s | maybe get a big pick we just need this |
19828s | transcendence to come one line to be |
19830s | able to give toronto defiant a better |
19832s | fighting chance in these final moments |
19834s | it's 45 seconds left jaws and look at |
19836s | where fleta is positioned right now to |
19838s | try to get a pick before toronto even |
19840s | move in |
19842s | looks like he's on cams right now just |
19844s | making sure he knows where everybody |
19845s | from toronto to find is holding down |
19847s | pulse bomb no transcendence available |
19848s | for tron if he wants to save himself |
19850s | look fled us sneaking up target is |
19853s | either twilight or charon here |
19854s | he can't get that transcendence of |
19856s | course he doesn't know how close he is |
19858s | pulse available stick doesn't go out |
19860s | just yet but twilight is now in his |
19862s | sights but further had to recall so |
19863s | early they might not be able to do |
19864s | anything sure in fact use the |
19866s | transcendence to push them forward but |
19867s | while is now already dead with that |
19869s | trance out the way the shanghai dragons |
19870s | might be good for a defense the pulse |
19872s | comes out from finale it's going to be |
19874s | good for a kill but legion gone is there |
19876s | to finish up three seconds to go for the |
19878s | toronto defined but with a team wipe the |
19880s | dragons are gonna claim map number two |
19882s | and find match point |
19884s | oh my gosh that overclock from lip was |
19886s | just nasty and that was all that |
19889s | shanghai dragons really needed in order |
19891s | to seal out this map it was a close one |
19894s | though jaws i feel like this series |
19895s | overall has been close just shanghai |
19897s | dragons getting a slight edge over the |
19899s | toronto defiant in these first two maps |
19902s | yeah they three minutes toronto to find |
19904s | hack going into that third point |
19908s | the dragons with |
19910s | really really nice uh just ultimate |
19912s | usage like not layering the support also |
19914s | it's like you were saying those and then |
19916s | lip coming up big with the rail gun who |
19918s | else bought lip really let's jump to a |
19920s | quick break do not go anywhere |
19923s | map number three coming up soon |

20119s | [Music] |
20168s | so |
20169s | [Music] |
20193s | welcome back time to british man here |
20196s | with rose again we're going to dorado as |
20198s | our next map and maybe our final one in |
20201s | fact rose trying to define neat to be |
20203s | able to get back in the series and it's |
20204s | been a lot closer i think than a lot of |
20206s | people anticipated toronto defined six |
20209s | and six in regular season very mid um |
20212s | but they're actually giving the shanghai |
20214s | dragons to run for their money right now |
20216s | it's definitely very close and i feel |
20218s | like when toronto defiant has been |
20220s | losing these team fights it has a lot to |
20222s | do with the ultimate economy that is |
20224s | available to them and whether or not |
20226s | they're actually finding value with some |
20227s | of the ultimates that they need to i do |
20229s | feel like maybe chorong's transcendences |
20232s | like the timing of them or what they're |
20234s | used for haven't been super impactful |
20236s | and maybe that would be a bit of a |
20238s | difference maker here but it isn't just |
20239s | the transcendences right it's a couple |
20241s | of other things as well maybe just not |
20243s | seeing like the pulse bombs land or |
20245s | something like that but toronto i think |
20247s | they can get their act together it is |
20250s | still very close and maybe this pick of |
20254s | theirs will be what brings them back |
20255s | into this series |
20258s | yeah losers pick losers pick is always |
20261s | quite nice although you don't want to be |
20263s | in that loser's situation but at least |
20264s | then you get to pick a map that you're |
20266s | comfortable with and you practice yeah |
20268s | so |
20269s | there is that biker mother was also |
20271s | their pick so |
20273s | maybe a 3-0 to start off |
20276s | their run well |
20278s | let's not forget the c9 let's not forget |
20281s | the back cap that happened there i do |
20283s | think that we would be in a different |
20284s | situation |
20286s | if |
20286s | toronto had not let that come through |
20289s | because if they had won that team fight |
20290s | i don't think shanghai dragons would |
20291s | have had time left |
20293s | uh to be able to actually capture 0.2 |
20295s | but neither here nor there we are in |
20297s | this situation now |
20299s | yeah |
20300s | so look what comp they're running who's |
20302s | really surprised uh |
20304s | fate's back on the ball |
20305s | oh yeah tv to height |
20308s | and then oh no the tv to low they just |
20310s | do they're just chilling on a low ground |
20312s | fly was already up there i suppose so |
20313s | you don't really want to tussle with |
20314s | that especially if he has a perma pocket |
20317s | and then fate is ready or muse is ready |
20319s | to dive in |
20322s | true |
20322s | but look at the height that lip has |
20324s | taken now you're able to use that coach |
20326s | gun as well just to be able to get up a |
20328s | little bit above the rafters and oh |
20331s | you're definitely looking at twilight |
20332s | right now and just most of toronto to |
20334s | find to start pushing them back off of |
20336s | this high ground as this card starts to |
20337s | round the corner and toronto they're |
20339s | definitely making a nice quick pivot |
20341s | here |
20342s | yeah they really are |
20344s | they can just kind of ignore lipid that |
20346s | distance too oh what a jump in shot by |
20349s | heesu 100 energy straight to the dome of |
20352s | lib |
20353s | liberals like kind of ineffective at |
20354s | that range and like you said rose a |
20357s | rotation for toronto to fire kind of |
20358s | bait slip in he says |
20360s | with the kill |
20362s | easy as you like |
20363s | yeah now you can see toronto kind of |
20365s | pivot back over to that high ground as |
20367s | they're looking left and right seeing if |
20369s | shanghai dragons are coming behind them |
20372s | maybe |
20372s | below them from the stairwell |
20375s | but this is a really nice movement from |
20377s | them good rotation once again |
20379s | just a collapse |
20381s | yeah big collapses yucky that was a |
20383s | unfortunate nade missed there by |
20384s | twilight i saw that hit the rafters |
20386s | instead flippers also won hp for the |
20388s | majority of that fight so |
20389s | couldn't even do anything with the rest |
20391s | oh that rag doll |
20393s | okay well he's dead i didn't think he |
20396s | expected lib to just be adsing around |
20398s | that corner but |
20400s | go expect something a little bit |
20401s | suspicious especially when lipstick hp |
20404s | charon ends up going down to fate and |
20406s | what it's quite a turn of fate is the |
20408s | toronto to fight now getting forced all |
20410s | the way back nice anti-date onto fate |
20412s | and to fleta |
20414s | fight gets finished up for the shanghai |
20415s | dragon still moving that payload top to |
20417s | muse to try and get back to it just in |
20420s | time one meter uh one meat eater and a |
20422s | half to go but lip finds another kill |
20426s | yeah you see the look on muse's face |
20427s | there that should have been an easy |
20429s | cleanup of the toronto to fine end up |
20431s | letting go in that payload shanghai |
20433s | dragons with a good first point push |
20434s | well that was tough because you see aki |
20436s | was there to back lip up with that orb |
20438s | of discord so you ended up having the |
20440s | ability to just kind of chunk down |
20442s | muse and then yeah i think ash wins that |
20445s | fight nine times out of ten especially |
20447s | if you're gonna be hitting into the |
20449s | winston dome |
20450s | but now that shanghai dragons have taken |
20453s | this high ground advantage away from |
20455s | toronto as well |
20457s | oh |
20458s | look i mean look at this pincer |
20460s | uh attack that shanghai is really |
20462s | grabbing here you've got the cart |
20464s | covered and also the high ground on the |
20466s | other side |
20467s | yeah both supports just chilling off on |
20469s | height with the lip lip almost says the |
20471s | bob |
20472s | feeling pretty good if you're the |
20473s | shanghai dragons right now turned and |
20475s | fine could jump down if they wanted to |
20477s | with that primal rage a transcendence is |
20480s | going to get popped but legion gone was |
20481s | already antiqued so toronto to fight |
20483s | just take it in their stride pulse bomb |
20486s | does kill chorong so they trade |
20488s | the brigitas but flutter still doing a |
20492s | ton of damage twilight drops super low |
20494s | didn't have those packs to heal him back |
20496s | up with the shanghai dragons taking this |
20498s | into their own hands finale is not done |
20500s | just yet unleashes that pulse bomb but |
20503s | something saw a little bit earlier on in |
20505s | the season actually kind of reminds me |
20507s | vlad has been doing it too is he's very |
20508s | late pulse bombs to try and turn these |
20510s | fights but this time around the dragons |
20512s | came up big |
20513s | yeah absolutely i mean sometimes you |
20515s | just see players just kind of use the |
20517s | pulse bomb to just shore up that fight |
20519s | and so i love that folder is able to |
20521s | find those types of openings in order to |
20523s | carve out that advantage for the team |
20525s | but and shanghai dragons still have so |
20527s | much left in the bank to use here to cap |
20529s | the second point |
20531s | bob on the high ground nice knock up |
20533s | onto twilight perfectly executed |
20535s | shanghai dragons popping the rally |
20538s | and with two and a half minutes to go |
20539s | the payload not too far away from at |
20542s | that point |
20543s | they just have to rely on lee ji gong |
20545s | for the heels primal rage from muse |
20547s | talk through that over health that came |
20549s | from that rally and the toronto defiant |
20551s | are holding on |
20552s | it's still a break so they're still hard |
20554s | to kill |
20555s | and with his going down it's going to |
20557s | make it even more difficult for the |
20559s | toronto to fight to hold on they just |
20560s | got spawned in their favor and maybe |
20562s | this nano coming up minds to block the |
20565s | entrance to the payload as fate now just |
20568s | starts on swinging it's a nice little |
20570s | defensive counter measure there from the |
20572s | toronto defense using the nano on to |
20573s | muse but look he's just getting focused |
20575s | down stuck on top of that discord too |
20578s | much damage for him to deal with the |
20580s | shanghai dragons taking these ultimates |
20582s | to toronto to fight ascending out in |
20584s | stride |
20586s | as they do enter the foundry stage now |
20588s | of this map |
20589s | yeah i mean wow flood has been building |
20592s | up to these pulse bombs so quickly as |
20594s | well and they feel like they come online |
20595s | at just the perfect moments to be able |
20598s | to make sure that these objectives can |
20600s | get captured and look at the staggers |
20603s | that was it almost a sick body block |
20605s | their |
20606s | fate |
20607s | it's not every day oh it's not every day |
20609s | you see a body block on a tracer but you |
20611s | know he ended up going down anyway so |
20613s | he's all good |
20615s | look at that though finale goes down |
20616s | with the pulse bomb at least he's able |
20619s | to get a bit of revenge onto lip and |
20621s | that should slow down the shanghai |
20622s | dragons just a little bit |
20625s | but |
20625s | at this point shanghai dragons they want |
20627s | to make some type of eco push here try |
20629s | to get these ultimates online while also |
20632s | making sure that they don't fall to the |
20634s | finale pulse bomb |
20636s | when they start moving back in |
20639s | yeah they really need that bob |
20642s | it's been such a useful tool just |
20643s | clearing high ground or just kind of |
20644s | touching the payload speaking of which |
20646s | both fake and flutter on top of it right |
20647s | now leaving their back line a little bit |
20649s | more vulnerable than they wish |
20651s | your gun does fall to a whip shop with |
20653s | charong and with two minutes to go the |
20654s | dragons they don't want to do much so |
20657s | yeah there you go rose that's your eco |
20658s | push i suppose |
20660s | they do get the rally for their sins |
20664s | yeah they're gonna have the pulse bomb |
20665s | the transcendence i i think they're just |
20667s | gonna get everything here especially |
20668s | because fate's gonna build up to those |
20670s | mines so quickly as well and there's the |
20672s | avoidance of the pulse bomb big ghost |
20675s | signal for shanghai dragons |
20677s | those now chasing finale down who's now |
20679s | one hp oh i mean the quad body block you |
20682s | ain't gonna survive that muse |
20684s | unfortunately the eco push worked out |
20686s | the shanghai dragons bought almost all |
20688s | of their ultimates they've got a mine's |
20689s | coming up and the transcendence but it's |
20691s | looking like they're trying to find her |
20692s | on their last leg they need this rally |
20694s | online 99 there it is can they actually |
20696s | get the over helpful muse in time not |
20698s | quite so lucky |
20700s | that shield bash sends you flying |
20702s | nowadays but the rally still takes time |
20704s | to build up and muse ends up going down |
20707s | the mice to block the thor |
20709s | shanghai dragons with a minute and 26 on |
20712s | the point |
20713s | i mean that third point was just a |
20714s | master class from the shanghai dragons |
20716s | of how to |
20718s | body block like i don't know how |
20722s | that was so good that was so good |
20724s | toronto defiant couldn't even walk out |
20726s | of spawn like it wasn't even just the |
20728s | mines to try to crowd control toronto |
20730s | away |
20731s | but the way that fate actually used to |
20734s | the ground pound as well to knock |
20736s | everybody up bought time |
20739s | as well like that was just so cool it |
20741s | was so cool to watch |
20743s | yeah the body block from fate onto |
20745s | finale went down eventually and then |
20748s | muse |
20750s | oh he's trying to get body blocked it |
20752s | doesn't remind me of that um |
20755s | very i it's not too much of an old clip |
20758s | but |
20758s | frd mr fried |
20761s | getting staggered as diva and just like |
20763s | perma body block oh yeah oh no base in |
20767s | the cam and he's just chewing gum i'm |
20769s | like that potentially the longest |
20770s | stagger that has ever happened ever like |
20773s | oh like look it just kind of reminds me |
20774s | of that it's just a very sad moment |
20777s | this is just sad shield bash knock-up |
20780s | minds that's all she wrote there |
20783s | like that was such good rotation through |
20786s | those cooldowns |
20788s | shanghai has just been on like they've |
20790s | been a locomotive this entire |
20792s | match |
20793s | and i hope that toronto can pull |
20795s | something out of here to be able to |
20797s | bring us into extra rounds of this map |
20800s | and maybe even into extra |
20805s | you have to wait maps see i'm use back |
20807s | on the winston rose not even trying to |
20810s | tussle with the doom |
20813s | maybe not confident i mean the rollouts |
20815s | can be a little weird on this map i feel |
20817s | like especially when you have so much |
20819s | high ground that might be difficult to |
20821s | cover as a doofus |
20824s | you also just don't want to |
20826s | los your anna either like if you're if |
20828s | you don't have twilight to back you up |
20829s | that's not gonna be a happy time |
20832s | yeah it's really not |
20833s | man i was like is that i'm gonna heal |
20835s | his head he was like one hb standing by |
20838s | in that wall |
20839s | he's good though slowly but surely |
20841s | they're moving the payload up |
20843s | there's just a matter of time before the |
20845s | shanghai dragons execute their dive |
20847s | ideally with fled alive okay there you |
20849s | go he gets away |
20851s | luckily enough |
20854s | oh i like that too he's just kind of |
20856s | looking behind him to use the dynamite |
20858s | to just make sure that no one's gonna |
20859s | sneak up on a flank |
20861s | wow okay big kid on to legion |
20864s | not bad good stuff yeah flutter |
20867s | i felt like flatter going super low uh |
20869s | towards the start of that fight and he |
20871s | was as he was going underground it |
20873s | stopped him really following up on the |
20874s | flights uh pile driver there which is |
20877s | kind of annoying and see he's still in |
20879s | the back line like can shanghai touch it |
20881s | looks like they're going to be able to |
20882s | but fleddy needs to be able to help fate |
20884s | secure a kill they've used finale to |
20887s | start off the fight good little headshot |
20889s | but the nanopus onto muse is going to |
20891s | separate the dps the shanghai dragons |
20894s | but now they have to back off because |
20896s | they don't actually have dps of their |
20897s | own right now because he's who dies |
20899s | she said the toronto defiant just |
20901s | getting dealt with the worst hat |
20903s | possible they use the nano to try and |
20905s | get an ear into the fight but the |
20907s | shanghai dragons just clean up with the |
20908s | supports but now looking for a pulse |
20910s | bomb hits the wall only a little bit of |
20912s | damage but it was merely a tickle than |
20914s | anything else trying to fire a couple of |
20916s | meters away from getting the payload in |
20918s | and now flutter is all alone but the |
20920s | shanghai dragon's just running rings |
20921s | around him right now look at the |
20922s | positioning from toronto well i know |
20925s | like are they on the defense or attack |
20927s | i'm not really sure |
20929s | okay there's the ball pulse bomb was |
20931s | good charm cleaning up is iaki okay |
20934s | signs alive there we go fernan also |
20937s | poking his head in the fight one minute |
20939s | and 30 seconds to go as twilight takes |
20941s | the matters into his own hands with a |
20942s | couple of kills on the board wanted to |
20944s | find i mean they were just chasing the |
20946s | dragons around the whole time they did |
20948s | manage to come out on top in the end |
20951s | yeah i i'm gonna go ahead and call that |
20953s | some nice kiting all right i think is |
20955s | what happened there right you have to |
20957s | pay a lot of respect to lip i feel like |
20959s | is what happened in that last fight you |
20960s | even give the nano over to muse to make |
20962s | sure that muse might be able to win out |
20964s | that 1v1 this time |
20966s | um but yeah i |
20968s | really nice rotations it worked out |
20970s | maybe finale is able to continue to get |
20972s | these legs up onto the dragons as well |
20974s | as this car moves forward |
20977s | all right he's who's got the bob will be |
20980s | coach gonna put the high ground put that |
20982s | bob on height so it kind of denies the |
20984s | space might be the play but i have to |
20986s | see just one second off angle right now |
20988s | but uh yeah |
20990s | head shot couple little body shots easy |
20993s | as you like and now it's lit on the |
20994s | ground now we're sending that back to |
20996s | height hasn't got coach gun so it's a go |
20998s | time for muse the rest of the toronto to |
21000s | fight nano and the rally were popped by |
21003s | toronto and a forcing of the |
21005s | transcendence by muse not the worst |
21008s | thing in the world but not having |
21010s | support ultimates for this next fight |
21011s | might be a little bit of a pain in the |
21013s | side for toronto however with jae gone |
21015s | going down and he's potentially on high |
21018s | ground at this point they might be good |
21019s | good sit by flutter kills muse but still |
21022s | the rest of his team |
21023s | go down |
21025s | yeah i think toronto is okay with that i |
21027s | mean muse can just kind of jump back to |
21029s | point here |
21031s | or just roll back i guess as he switches |
21033s | over to the wrecking ball and bob comes |
21035s | out oh |
21036s | that was a nice little boot but uh he's |
21038s | still sitting in the doorway so he |
21039s | should be good |
21040s | still doing a little bit of damage but |
21042s | most of it's avoided speaking of bob's |
21044s | there's another one almost tanked the |
21045s | pulse bomb there get down mr president |
21047s | wasn't quite quick enough unfortunately |
21049s | but bob on the point is going to be a |
21051s | pain for toronto to deal with and the |
21054s | shanghai dragon's still in control |
21057s | i know but that that bought time for |
21059s | toronto to come back because that bob |
21060s | wasn't really an los of anybody from |
21062s | toronto when they could just back up |
21066s | nice dynamite he sue he's just getting |
21068s | permanent though as long as he stays |
21070s | alive and just keeps throwing the |
21070s | dynamites it's so much easy damage he's |
21073s | 55 towards another bob we might see a |
21076s | four bob fight |
21077s | oh i don't want to call it too early as |
21079s | lee jiggle does die and fate is put to |
21081s | sleep you trade break for break the |
21084s | shanghai dragons i'll take that uh for |
21086s | them any time |
21087s | as they have the nicest spawns twilight |
21090s | doing so much work actually on its own |
21092s | almost managed to get a nice double kill |
21094s | for the shanghai dragon still in a good |
21096s | position fate does fall and twilight |
21099s | goes down to izzy yaki but fled is not |
21101s | getting off the payload just yet he |
21103s | knows the importance of not c9 that is |
21105s | for sure but there's four men on it |
21107s | they do end up capping at the very last |
21110s | moment the shanghai dragons they didn't |
21112s | quite get their second bob online maybe |
21114s | that was the maybe hey we got three out |
21116s | of four though three out of four that's |
21118s | pretty good |
21119s | pretty good worked out for the toronto |
21121s | defiant finale now looking to |
21124s | keep everything moving where is flutter |
21126s | right now |
21127s | hello you got to watch behind you you |
21130s | see that finale |
21131s | dodged the pulse bomb from flutter and |
21134s | then sprayed the red x on the wall |
21136s | yeah but it did but they didn't see it |
21138s | but we saw a finale you're good |
21141s | he does end up going down rally pop from |
21143s | the dragon seems like a pretty easy |
21145s | cleanup finale with the pulse moment in |
21147s | close cause only finds chip damage |
21150s | that over health doing a lot of work for |
21153s | dragons in that tight corridor |
21156s | yeah i think defiant just takes the l on |
21158s | this one the rally in the tight space is |
21161s | not going to do you any favors if you're |
21162s | going to be playing against that but now |
21165s | toronto has a rally of their own they |
21166s | also have the nano they have a great way |
21168s | to crowd control as well with the mines |
21170s | from muse |
21172s | that was fast |
21173s | too to charge that up music literally |
21175s | just switched over like a minute ago |
21178s | yeah crazy quick |
21180s | pretty big |
21181s | big slams will get you that will charge |
21183s | pretty fast oh it's asleep it's all good |
21186s | it was pretty quick |
21189s | all right no bobby bob it's lips pop oh |
21191s | my god |
21194s | man he got folded like a bit of paper |
21196s | yeah see that one coming |
21198s | the ball from lip and then fate on top |
21201s | of that like double knock-off with the |
21203s | pile driver and then bob knock you |
21205s | sky-high it's unfortunate they're trying |
21207s | to fight did you use their rally |
21209s | to start off that engagement and uh yeah |
21212s | not much else already came with that so |
21214s | they've only got that nano boost for |
21216s | this last |
21217s | fight 50 seconds to go rogue |
21219s | yeah i i mean look at how much they've |
21222s | been able to get out of the dragons |
21223s | though the rally that for that fight |
21226s | just a little bit ago the transcendence |
21228s | and |
21229s | we also just got the pulse bomb out of |
21231s | the dragons |
21232s | the toronto's okay with this they |
21234s | they're walking in with three more |
21236s | ultimates here even though yeah twilight |
21238s | died while trong was using the rally |
21241s | toronto still have alt economy here and |
21243s | they've got the advantage if they use |
21245s | these smartly |
21246s | ot is approaching pulse bomb on the |
21250s | ground only gets uh a couple of mine |
21253s | kills not necessarily a kill |
21255s | on the enemy unfortunately charong is |
21257s | dead he did get nano to 60 towards that |
21261s | rally but it wasn't quite to be the |
21263s | supports in the shanghai dragons fell on |
21265s | the kill feed with red right now and |
21266s | spilling all over the floor too high |
21268s | ground from lip is a good place to be a |
21271s | dynamite on twilight he does heal |
21272s | himself up with the name but that's just |
21273s | about it he hasn't really got much else |
21275s | to rely on and now players hunting him |
21277s | down his lip versus a finale on the |
21281s | point luckily he's got the bob sends it |
21284s | in the corner and now it's up to the |
21285s | toronto define to this lodge lift before |
21287s | he annihilates the rest of the team |
21289s | jordan goes pretty low his overtime is |
21291s | here and the back up from the dragons is |
21293s | uh just leeching out of the spawn they |
21295s | need to get the rally coming online they |
21297s | got the transcendence too looks almost |
21298s | unlosable for the dragons right now they |
21300s | just need to find the kills but each one |
21302s | ends up going down charon once again |
21304s | finding the better in the brick duel as |
21306s | the defiant now in a 5v4 situation love |
21308s | the dynamite over and get that payload |
21310s | moving |
21311s | oh but we're starting to look at that |
21312s | territory where who's gonna get those |
21314s | support ultimates online second and are |
21317s | they gonna have the sustain |
21318s | you gotta touch there's the rally from |
21320s | leecher gone charon gets his online and |
21322s | instantly pops it and now they gotta go |
21325s | flared with the pulse could end it here |
21327s | nice pulse onto the support that should |
21329s | be it the shanghai dragons with a |
21332s | transcendence |
21333s | to top it all off it's finale on the |
21335s | point as charring ends up going down and |
21337s | the dragons they start off the |
21340s | tournament run with a bang |
21344s | oh my goodness shanghai dragons i feel |
21346s | like just throughout the course of this |
21348s | series got better and better |
21351s | you know i'd they just i love the way |
21352s | that they're able to adjust and adapt in |
21355s | any type of situation and they're coming |
21357s | into this tournament very hungry that's |
21360s | for sure |
21362s | yeah the hungry for gold like |
21364s | the mythological dragons i suppose |
21367s | i mean it is it feels like um |
21370s | that that series and the way you put |
21372s | that |
21373s | sums up shanghai's uh run in the regular |
21376s | season two they start off a little bit |
21378s | cold but then coming up pretty big |
21381s | still a good look from the toronto |
21382s | defiant though um a team that i think a |
21384s | lot of people |
21386s | pegged |
21387s | is not doing super well against the |
21389s | shanghai dragons still gave them the run |
21391s | around a lot of that time absolutely i |
21394s | mean especially just even not on just |
21396s | the doomfist i think that was what was |
21398s | really impressive about the way that |
21399s | toronto defiant played is you know at |
21401s | the beginning of the series we kind of |
21403s | prefaced this match as toronto has |
21405s | looked best on this doomfist composition |
21408s | but the fact that they were also able to |
21409s | show us different compositional moments |
21412s | and still perform well both really well |
21415s | for them for the rest of this tournament |
21418s | yeah looking super good we'll see what |
21420s | they can do in the lower bracket run but |
21422s | the shanghai dragons do end up advancing |
21425s | and the player of the match for this |
21426s | series is gonna be a lip it wasn't a |
21430s | flooded deadlift it was a lip deadlift |
21433s | in i can valder his sojourn looking so |
21437s | good still i mean |
21438s | what can't this guy do |
21441s | all right yeah that that's a definitely |
21443s | easier to count the things that he can't |
21445s | do on one hand than the things that he |
21447s | can because that's that's a lot of |
21449s | things that's for sure i mean look at |
21451s | this like the way that lip was able to |
21453s | clutch out these final moments and i can |
21455s | weld it with the overclock active and |
21458s | just really performing on the sojourn or |
21461s | the ash i mean ash is just such a |
21463s | standout hero for lip and it shows |
21466s | whether it was from |
21467s | bob finding value from just having point |
21470s | presence or using it to be able to zone |
21473s | the rest of the members of toronto |
21474s | defiant off it's great to see how lip is |
21476s | able to adjust to based on the situation |
21480s | okay almost 10 final blows but 10 |
21483s | almost 12k damage per 10. |
21486s | yeah |
21487s | pretty insane right now and |
21491s | we talk about the bob being being the |
21493s | sixth the sixth person in the on the |
21495s | team but they it does a whole lot of |
21497s | work like it's harder for you to touch |
21499s | the point like yeah you can discord it |
21501s | you can burn it down with a zen but if |
21502s | you're building up bobs like routinely |
21505s | and you definitely expect lip to be |
21508s | doing that and he did just that in the |
21510s | in the series just gone it's just so |
21512s | much value like an unbelievable amount |
21514s | especially on um not only obviously the |
21518s | push i was gonna say push but like |
21520s | escort maps and hybrid maps but like on |
21522s | control we saw it too the amount of |
21523s | times |
21525s | just put bob on the point and then you |
21526s | can don't really have to worry |
21528s | uh for at least a few seconds and then |
21531s | it gives your team a lot of space and |
21532s | time to maybe execute a dive |
21535s | absolutely i mean hey we saw bob capped |
21537s | the point |
21538s | like exactly |
21539s | so what more can you ask for well maybe |
21542s | another game we got philadelphia fusion |
21543s | and the hungry spark coming up after the |
21545s | break but we're gonna take a quick |
21548s | breather and we're gonna head over to |
21549s | the desk after this we'll see in a sec |
21553s | the overwatch league is brought to you |

21814s | first time talking to you this season |
21816s | how are you feeling right now |
21819s | um |
21856s | all right i mean uh in the previous |
21858s | tournament which was the kickoff clash |
21860s | you know it was we didn't really have |
21861s | the time to go east versus west but uh |
21864s | this tournament currently is the first |
21866s | iteration of the east versus west so uh |
21868s | first of all i think i'm very thankful |
21870s | and happy that we got the win today and |
21872s | i'm very excited for the next matches |
21874s | that are about to come up because we're |
21876s | going to have a lot more of these east |
21878s | versus west matches uh talking about the |
21880s | east versus west lip i do want to ask |
21882s | today of course like you said it was the |
21884s | first time that we were seeing that sort |
21886s | of battle uh and you guys did come on |
21888s | top but i do feel like toronto despite |
21890s | the uh 3-0 law i mean zero to three loss |
21893s | for them uh they did prep a really good |
21895s | fight uh what were your thoughts on your |
21897s | first opponent |
21913s | [Music] |
21935s | [Music] |
21937s | foreign |
21941s | i mean i did hear uh from people uh |
21944s | people around me that saying that you |
21946s | know toronto defiance in the west |
21947s | weren't really a strong team but uh we |
21950s | didn't really think about that going |
21951s | into today's match uh we uh focused up |
21954s | and we sort of prepared as much as we |
21956s | can and despite their loss you know |
21958s | because they have a really really solid |
21960s | roster so it was a definitely a tough |
21962s | win for us all right my second question |
21964s | for you shanghai dragons or lip from |
21966s | shanghai dragons is also um i feel like |
21969s | shanghai dragons this season have found |
21971s | a lot of success after uh leaning a lot |
21974s | towards the wrecking ball uh dive |
21976s | composition do you believe that is sort |
21978s | of the best composition currently in the |
21980s | meta or are you guys sort |
21998s | [Music] |
22005s | [Music] |
22008s | foreign |
22023s | there's not really a one top pick uh for |
22025s | the composition wise i think what's uh |
22027s | for the current meta the best thing is |
22029s | or whatever the team feels comfortable |
22031s | or confident confident in whatever |
22033s | they're really good at that should be |
22035s | the competition that uh you should run |
22037s | for this meta uh so to answer the |
22039s | question the wrecking ball dive meta is |
22041s | sort of our color that is what fits our |
22043s | stock play style the most for the |
22045s | current meta that is why you that that |
22047s | is why we're using it the most all right |
22049s | that is it for the interview thank you |
22051s | so much for your time and again big |
22052s | congratulations on the win |
22061s | all right task back to you guys |

22087s | he's talented and we're successful |
22089s | you're right you're right we gotta learn |
22091s | a new language but |
22092s | congratulations again to the shanghai |
22094s | dragons going three and oh there but |
22097s | i'm gonna come to you because |
22099s | it seemed like from the desk's |
22100s | perspective going into this game it |
22102s | wasn't gonna be as close as we actually |
22105s | saw for some of these games despite it |
22106s | being a 3-0 yeah it was a 3-0 but you |
22109s | know it's one of those classic coin |
22110s | terms of it was a close 3-0 it's not the |
22113s | score line doesn't show like how close |
22114s | this match what we said a lot yeah it's |
22116s | it's really getting a little bit |
22118s | monotonous but you know it's it was true |
22120s | like the toronto defiant especially here |
22122s | on this elios they were it looked like |
22125s | they were poised to take it the first |
22126s | two rounds they their dive playing on |
22129s | that muse finale just going forward all |
22132s | the time izu yaki and the shanghai |
22134s | dragons just were really struggling to |
22136s | get positioning on the map and were just |
22138s | struggling to get anything done but just |
22140s | by the skin of their teeth just through |
22142s | the experience that they have as a team |
22144s | were able to just claw down some of |
22146s | these maps and you know they do get this |
22148s | win onto illios after some pretty clean |
22150s | wrecking ball play from fate but then we |
22152s | head over to eigenvalder and this could |
22154s | have been a very different map if that |
22156s | c9 by fleta does not come through |
22158s | because |
22159s | that really turned the tide because that |
22161s | was going close to being dragons held on |
22163s | the second point instead it flips on its |
22165s | head and they out do manage to fully cap |
22167s | and toronto find just did not have the |
22169s | answer themselves so |
22170s | for me |
22171s | shanghai dragons weren't their fully |
22173s | formed self i think they were trying |
22175s | they were struggling with the aggressive |
22176s | doomfist tracer style that we see so |
22178s | commonly in the west but they were |
22180s | slowly starting to get it but i also |
22182s | want to give props a try to find they |
22184s | played incredibly well especially for |
22186s | the expectations that we had for them |
22188s | coming into this tournament they're by |
22189s | no means the best team that we have in |
22191s | the west but the execution of those |
22193s | dives was just immaculate but |
22196s | the eight foot seven gaming warlord and |
22198s | lip said enough of this |
22200s | gets over that ash and that was a big |
22202s | ash dip here on this dorado and that |
22204s | ended up getting them the win in this |
22205s | series absolutely and i do want to |
22206s | continue talking about toronto defiant |
22208s | right now because again they aren't out |
22211s | of it yet just because they took a loss |
22213s | on day one doesn't mean that they have |
22214s | to kiss the tournament goodbye they are |
22216s | going to drop into the losers bracket so |
22219s | johnny what does this team really need |
22221s | to polish up to ensure that this loss |
22223s | does not happen again honestly i |
22225s | not a lot yeah like this toronto defiant |
22228s | that we saw today they're the lowest |
22230s | seed |
22231s | they're like 12 seed and you look at |
22233s | that number and you're like wow are they |
22234s | bad they're 12. |
22236s | wow that was blue |
22239s | that was a really good performance |
22243s | probably the most controversial thing |
22245s | i'll say all day |
22246s | is that i think they're like maybe like |
22248s | two changes away from being like uh like |
22252s | maybe getting like fifth in this |
22253s | tournament or maybe like even competing |
22255s | for like fifth two changes |
22257s | they're pretty two big changes okay |
22259s | because they're pretty okay what are |
22260s | these changes yeah it's not like oh i |
22262s | make your hair in the morning and you're |
22262s | fine it's like pretty big changes like |
22265s | first of all |
22266s | i i really liked the |
22269s | the the attack when i come out there |
22271s | because i think that was an instance of |
22272s | them like you know putting their foot |
22274s | forward they were playing the honest and |
22275s | composition and they were playing museum |
22277s | doomfist and they really forced the |
22279s | shanghai dragons to like whoa we gotta |
22281s | adapt we gotta play around your |
22283s | composition and that that's when you |
22285s | start competing and taking it to like |
22287s | lit that's when you force faith to be a |
22289s | little bit uncomfortable but then we saw |
22291s | them they were actually like on the back |
22292s | foot when they played against faith on |
22294s | the zarya and they were like doomfist |
22296s | themselves on defense and then they're |
22297s | like whoa like they play zarya like |
22298s | we're a bit passive we're a bit timid |
22300s | like we don't exactly know what to do |
22302s | see if i want to turn through a fine |
22303s | then i re-watched this series |
22306s | unlike a lot of matches i wouldn't look |
22307s | at what we're doing wrong and i can fix |
22309s | it i would look at what did we do right |
22311s | and how can we keep doing that and i |
22313s | think you'll see a lot of aggression |
22314s | coming in from them setting the tempo |
22316s | like custom mentioned the dives coming |
22317s | in from finale and muse at times really |
22320s | good and just like completely shut down |
22322s | the shanghai dragon's back line before |
22323s | the fight even started yeah and then i i |
22326s | mean the second thing they can't really |
22327s | fix themselves so we're just like lip |
22329s | was just like really good at times |
22331s | just |
22334s | that's what i wanted to question i was |
22335s | like how do you fix the problem that |
22336s | heisu just got heavily outpaced in the |
22338s | hit scandal like that was in my opinion |
22340s | the crux of the issue of if his who had |
22342s | a better performance is this cope it's |
22344s | not that bad |
22348s | a little bit more like don't get picked |
22349s | as much |
22351s | as a moment there was like a 2v4 finale |
22353s | and he had like a 2v4 on point b dorado |
22356s | attack to cap it out and i was like wow |
22359s | like |
22363s | i do need to cut you off but hopefully |
22365s | toronto defiant can make those two quick |
22368s | changes even though one of them |
22370s | out of uh their hands but i mean listen |
22372s | speaking of hit scan we got to talk |
22373s | about our next and final match of the |
22375s | day where it's going to be philadelphia |
22377s | fusion taking on hong sho spark which is |
22379s | actually our first east versus east team |
22382s | for or match i should say for this |
22384s | tournament uh so johnny i'm gonna come |
22386s | to you first because listen we were just |
22387s | talking about hitscan we have two of the |
22389s | best hit scan players in the world |
22391s | coming into this game so what can we |
22394s | expect |
22395s | mm3 one of the best discounts in the |
22397s | world i mean you're right right because |
22398s | element 3 is like elevated perceived |
22401s | like reputation going into this matchup |
22403s | it's like a large a lot of it is based |
22405s | on his performance against seoul dynasty |
22407s | he just like one of the best hit scam |
22409s | performances ever yeah like ever it was |
22412s | that good and so now mn3 he has the |
22414s | opportunity to continue on that momentum |
22416s | and really take it to some of the best |
22418s | players around the league in this very |
22420s | tournament i would say that chai |
22421s | is the better of two itam players like |
22424s | more consistent average basis but mn3 if |
22428s | he repeats that performance |
22430s | he could be like an mvp of the |
22431s | tournament because that was insane that |
22433s | was utterly crazy |
22436s | yeah and you can just see the stack card |
22437s | right here like you see there you can |
22439s | see shy he does that more damage he does |
22440s | have those more final blows and i think |
22442s | this is going to be a crazy head-to-head |
22444s | but not just these two players i think |
22446s | both the philadelphia fusion and the |
22448s | hongdro spark they're very dps |
22449s | orientated they're they're really big |
22452s | heavy hitters are in their dps lineup so |
22455s | i think alpha yi going against zest is |
22457s | also going to be a big performance and |
22460s | determining factor of this series they |
22462s | both do like to play that genji but as |
22464s | you said johnny if mn3 has this |
22466s | performance like you're seeing right |
22467s | here he went crazy and he was the sole |
22470s | reason really they got over the line |
22472s | against the seoul dynasty so if mn3 can |
22476s | replicate that i don't think the hong |
22477s | kong spark will have an answer |
22478s | definitely not we're looking at the mn3 |
22480s | highlights right now and i think we have |
22481s | a couple from shai coming up i mean this |
22484s | is just nuts yeah |
22486s | he's just rea |
22487s | it's all reaction at this point and it |
22489s | just impresses me because hit scan |
22491s | players over the years you know when i |
22493s | was a player it was like people were |
22495s | getting a critical hit accuracy of like |
22496s | 15 percent and everyone was like oh |
22498s | that's pretty good but now these guys 30 |
22501s | critical hit accuracy on the widowmaker |
22502s | on the ash they just do so much |
22504s | consistent damage and they are the t |
22506s | they are like if you can have that |
22508s | performance people are going to be able |
22509s | to do that and shy's been doing i said |
22511s | this last year i'm going to take credit |
22512s | here should i i said shy was the best |
22514s | hits game in the world last year and i |
22516s | think he is still performing to that |
22517s | level from time to time he is not the |
22519s | best guy in the world i think last year |
22521s | when he was starting to put up some of |
22522s | those performances the spark team is not |
22525s | always that good around him but i think |
22527s | he has put up those performances |
22530s | i need you to say it i don't think he is |
22531s | right now okay he has been and he has |
22533s | pulled up those performances and he can |
22535s | be |
22536s | i tried it i tried it i know he he tried |
22538s | i chickened you tried so much i'm |
22540s | excited hey we still have a full week of |
22542s | this so maybe that's pretty good maybe |
22544s | we can get uh it out of him but guys i'm |
22547s | excited to get into this final match of |
22549s | the day i already have a lot of fusion |
22551s | fans hitting me up asking for grandma |
22553s | avilee cookies |
22555s | as we discussed in a previous segment |
22556s | today but i mean listen all of us want |
22559s | to see the match so i think we should |
22560s | jump straight into it so let's hear from |
22562s | our casters once again jaws and necro |
22564s | take it away |
22569s | thank you very much ollie in the desk |
22571s | look if you're going to hand out the |
22572s | cookies maybe i want one you know bring |
22574s | him in tomorrow and we get a little |
22576s | taste review he can turn the stream into |
22578s | a like a food review channel maybe i |
22580s | don't know |
22581s | i'm sure custer and johnny will fit into |
22583s | that role quite well um yeah mn3 versus |
22586s | shy i think that is the |
22588s | that is the match up for today it's not |
22590s | philadelphia fusion versus the hungry |
22592s | spark it's mn3 trying to kill shy and |
22595s | then trying to kill mn3s the rookie |
22597s | versus the veteran rose absolutely i |
22600s | mean that's kind of what the story of |
22601s | this entire match is though right both |
22603s | of these teams have incredible veteran |
22605s | talent but they've also have both been |
22608s | infused with the rookie talent from |
22610s | their cat respective academy teams and |
22612s | so when we look at how all of these |
22614s | incredible players have kind of started |
22616s | to |
22617s | formulate into their teams i just think |
22619s | we're going to be in for such a treat |
22621s | especially because philadelphia fusion |
22622s | and hangzhou spark have played each |
22624s | other a few times already this season |
22626s | yes they have let's have a look at the |
22628s | philadelphia fusion starting lineup who |
22631s | we're gonna see today yeah of course of |
22634s | course mn3 is in of course he is zest uh |
22638s | bellows three aim god and fixer your |
22640s | starting lineup right now |
22643s | yeah look at the end of the day rose i |
22645s | know johnny's got a lot more crazy |
22648s | predictions and crazy like takes i just |
22652s | want to see as the week progresses |
22654s | johnny's hair getting crazier and |
22656s | crazier like i'm sure it's gonna like |
22659s | he's he's gonna be losing his he's gonna |
22661s | be losing his goddamn mind like it's |
22662s | gonna yeah i mean it's gonna be a fun |
22664s | way |
22665s | that's why i cast overwatch is to see |
22668s | just go for it get progressively more |
22670s | crazy as the week goes on it's going to |
22671s | be good but it's called |
22673s | yes |
22675s | yeah i love this |
22676s | hey this is the this is a look that |
22678s | we've seen a lot from the philadelphia |
22680s | fusion obviously we're going to see |
22681s | bellasriya start out in that tank roll |
22684s | but we would be remiss to not show you |
22686s | the lineup from the hong kong spark as |
22688s | well to see who is going to be leading |
22690s | the charge there and of course we talked |
22692s | about how the whole mn3 versus shy |
22694s | matchup but you also have to look out |
22696s | for alpha yi in that dps world don't you |
22699s | jaws |
22700s | yeah he's also been incredibly scary |
22702s | indeed |
22703s | man it's |
22704s | i'm excited to cast this team i really |
22706s | am because people have been also piping |
22708s | up uh alfie they've been hyping up super |
22710s | rich for a long time and like this is |
22713s | his year to uh finally make the league |
22715s | and the hangzhou spark doing an |
22717s | exceptional job so far in the regular |
22721s | season and that's that feels so strange |
22723s | to say because the hong kong spark um if |
22726s | you look at the last couple years |
22727s | they've just been so like whoa they do |
22729s | crazy amount of work and then it's like |
22731s | okay and then they have this 12-man |
22733s | roster and it was like who are they |
22734s | going to play and how did they mix |
22736s | like this feels like |
22738s | a more stable static roster that they're |
22741s | willing to run and it's good to see them |
22743s | doing well and |
22746s | koster called it |
22747s | um last year at least and he said on the |
22749s | desk like shy |
22751s | was uh |
22752s | like one of the best hit scout players |
22754s | right but he's not had that same like |
22757s | consistency |
22758s | this year but then can mn3 kind of |
22761s | emulate that and because he's already |
22764s | had a pop-up performance one of the best |
22765s | hit scams yeah out there right now but |
22767s | can then he now keep this rolling to |
22770s | potentially be crowned one of the best |
22772s | hit scans in the league oh for sure i |
22775s | mean i think we we need to point out |
22777s | that philadelphia fusion has been |
22780s | inconsistent you know like they they |
22782s | either look really good when they're on |
22785s | and they're focused |
22787s | or they don't look super great and the |
22790s | their opponents can walk all over them |
22792s | but i have to point out one thing you |
22794s | know you mentioned that there is this |
22795s | kind of core of hongsho spark that |
22798s | hungzhou has really been relying on to |
22800s | be able to take them through |
22802s | these matches but usually it's bernard |
22805s | that's going to be in that tank world |
22806s | instead of gushway who we are seeing uh |
22809s | on the reinhardt as of right now but it |
22812s | makes a lot of sense because we are |
22813s | starting things off on lichen and |
22815s | gouchewest winston is a great way to |
22818s | kind of glue together this dive that |
22820s | we're seeing from the spark |
22822s | stephanie gonna |
22824s | be a problem for mn3 |
22827s | they kind of like spotting him out |
22828s | already it's effective range of course |
22831s | you can stand way in the back in the |
22832s | little house but actually getting onto |
22834s | the bridge and not getting instantly |
22835s | checked by the rest of the angel sparks |
22837s | going to be a bit of a problem i can |
22839s | hear him and i think the rest of the |
22841s | hungarian spark can yeah and nice |
22843s | deflect gets the shot on demon three |
22845s | gushro finishes him off and that's going |
22847s | to be the big problem there m3 to |
22848s | actually operate he can't stand too far |
22851s | he can't stand at a reasonable distance |
22852s | away because that's just not how the map |
22854s | is laid out |
22856s | oh okay uh fixer got the boot kill |
22860s | and now he's in the drink all right oh |
22862s | well i mean look at that that one kill |
22864s | was enough to bully mn3 off of the ash |
22867s | completely and we're seeing mn3 come out |
22869s | of spawn with the soul bruh |
22872s | okay big change up i mean |
22878s | okay fusion coming out the gate so wing |
22881s | it |
22882s | all right i i mean hey that works bella |
22885s | sria is such an aggressive wrecking ball |
22888s | that this is gonna be a really nice |
22891s | compliment to mn3 sombra if this is what |
22894s | he decides to stick on the other thing |
22896s | that i like about the sombra too is it's |
22897s | not even just the hacks jaws it's about |
22900s | controlling the health packs and the |
22901s | areas of which hangzhou spark are |
22903s | actually able to approach |
22906s | if you can hack that mega health back |
22908s | there um that is |
22910s | a large amount of their health pool |
22911s | disappearing from the from the supports |
22914s | nice poop on to gushway |
22916s | denying the space right now is bellatri |
22918s | with those mines but fixer dies to a |
22920s | pulse bomb after you've got nanoordered |
22922s | on the point didn't earn himself a play |
22923s | but |
22924s | pressure on the point is what hundreds |
22926s | of spark need right now bella sorry is |
22928s | not really doing much damage to the back |
22929s | line of the spark because he's the one |
22930s | that's having to contest good pick off |
22933s | from aim god or jack god depending on uh |
22936s | if he follows instagram or not he takes |
22938s | down shy receives a little cookie the |
22940s | blade's going to get pop mm3 standing |
22942s | all the way at the back and yep the |
22944s | naked play doesn't do all too much |
22946s | but israeli cleans him up and pushes |
22948s | goose way off the mat yeah look at that |
22950s | fix up coming back in time to be able to |
22952s | use the rally |
22953s | and now philadelphia fusion they keep |
22956s | control of the point which is super |
22958s | important but they also have a finishing |
22960s | move here josten that's the emp that mn3 |
22963s | has earned in that last team fight you |
22965s | could open this up with a pick from |
22967s | zest's pulse bum or you could kind of go |
22969s | with the surefire way which is try to |
22971s | get as many members as possible in this |
22972s | emp and close out this first round that |
22974s | way |
22975s | nice boot little bit of revenge from |
22977s | super age taking care of balasaria do |
22979s | philadelphia fusion want to try for an |
22981s | emp looks quite unlikely as they've lost |
22985s | aim god goodbye and then three nice |
22987s | little smart reset there you don't waste |
22989s | too much time race |
22991s | no exactly especially when you're |
22992s | already in that one fight territory you |
22994s | may as well just you know try with pulse |
22996s | bomb it didn't get anything zest is |
22998s | already working up towards another one |
23000s | but you still have that emp to try to |
23002s | re-engage with this fight you're also |
23004s | looking at bellasria kind of being able |
23006s | to use those mines too |
23008s | but |
23009s | is there enough damage on the board to |
23010s | be able to deal with these critical |
23013s | ultimates here from the spark like that |
23015s | sound barrier |
23016s | oh post one |
23022s | spark at least have this sound barrier |
23024s | but it's again the dance between mn3 and |
23027s | super rich perfectly timed super rich |
23030s | leading that dance to perfection post |
23033s | bomb from shy will finish aim god that |
23035s | should just be it there you go both |
23037s | supports down |
23038s | super rich stayed out of uh site uh that |
23041s | emp and it did take a fair while to |
23043s | build up and use in the end and it was |
23045s | rather ineffective goose way still |
23048s | taking them yeah okay i was gonna take |
23050s | take a lot of damage from the primer |
23051s | rage but gets away |
23053s | yeah look at that too as well like you |
23056s | know spark they're playing with that |
23058s | lucio and that moira so they get a |
23059s | chance to play really aggressively here |
23062s | so i kind of like the switch off of the |
23064s | ana so that spark can have this |
23066s | coalescence and this also dragon blade |
23068s | to go into this final fight with but |
23070s | yeah we're in that last fight territory |
23072s | here it's do or die for both of these |
23074s | teams it's indeed coalescence available |
23078s | they got it they use it post bomb and |
23080s | transcendence thrown out fusion i'm |
23082s | going to go down without a fight nice |
23083s | little kill onto goose way is going to |
23085s | be good |
23087s | can the honk show spark hang on to this |
23088s | they have got that blade like you were |
23090s | saying rose the fusion finder flip |
23092s | patience now for the spark as they do |
23094s | hang back they know they had a few |
23096s | percentage points there to to give and |
23098s | alfie now putting himself on point to |
23100s | try and contest nice little early |
23102s | engagement from bella cereal but he is |
23104s | pretty low hack on to alfie doesn't |
23105s | result in all too much as bella sorry |
23107s | ends up going down the emp is absolutely |
23109s | massive the hangzhou spark didn't see |
23111s | that one coming out for you couldn't |
23112s | import the blade in time shy throws the |
23114s | pulse bomb goes a little bit wide and |
23116s | now the fusion trying to end this fight |
23118s | with a rally gushway gets back to the |
23120s | point just in time to see himself flop |
23122s | over and face part the floor as shy gets |
23124s | cleaned up |
23126s | an easy kill on to the moira as the play |
23128s | comes back in super rich was low before |
23131s | he got any damage off same with alpha yi |
23135s | an mn3 might not be on the ash but his |
23138s | impact is equal on the sombra |
23141s | yeah that first emp |
23143s | not fantastic |
23144s | but that second emp came online at just |
23147s | the right time to be able to close at |
23149s | that first round for the fusion |
23151s | i would like to see mn3 play something a |
23153s | little different on control center i |
23156s | think that hit scan damage can go a |
23159s | really long way here especially when you |
23161s | have so much natural architecture to be |
23163s | able to play around |
23165s | but let's see what these tanks decide to |
23168s | do to lead the team |
23170s | that's what i'm really curious about |
23171s | you're in such tighter quarters on this |
23173s | round |
23174s | so |
23175s | yeah doomfist makes a lot of sense here |
23177s | spark decided to come out on that and |
23179s | then oh we get some reinhardt |
23182s | okay |
23183s | okay okay |
23185s | i like it i like it |
23187s | rush versus the doomfist |
23191s | dude is way more like cooldown reliant |
23192s | of course than uh |
23194s | then ryan is |
23197s | all right should i just trying to get |
23198s | some off angles it's nice to charge up |
23200s | with the shield rose but that's really |
23201s | about it like just waiting for the speed |
23203s | boost oh yeah they felt the wall behind |
23205s | them that's always the the worst feeling |
23207s | i think at overwatch is feeling the may |
23209s | wall behind you as you try and hold a |
23210s | head |
23211s | yes |
23212s | try to back up but there's no escape |
23215s | from the exactly |
23217s | it's kind of horrible |
23218s | i think uh |
23220s | nightmares |
23221s | to this day facing me real even i've |
23223s | watched it |
23224s | all better with a nice kill on the honor |
23227s | nice uh nice body shot from edmond three |
23229s | point is unlocked and the fusion get the |
23232s | cab see what it means you just get run |
23234s | over |
23235s | already the spike ended up changing here |
23237s | they uh invested a fair bit into the |
23239s | doomfist they almost got the alt but |
23242s | it feels like a change is better than |
23243s | just kind of sticking out for the meteor |
23245s | strikes not crazy effective |
23247s | yeah you don't want to get into this |
23249s | sunk cast fallacy of i've been on the |
23251s | doomfist i almost have the ultimate so |
23253s | let's just go for it but maybe it's |
23255s | gonna be what spark needs to kind of |
23257s | open up this door especially as they're |
23259s | pushing fusion away from that choke |
23263s | yeah that |
23264s | opening of the door is gonna be quite |
23265s | tough but in the neutral the fusion is |
23267s | just uh you can easily kind of run over |
23269s | the doomfist as soon as you use that |
23271s | power block but |
23272s | yeah spark way more ultimate reliance |
23275s | good kill onto mn3 shy once again up on |
23278s | the high ground controlling that space |
23280s | to perfection oh aim god okay trying to |
23282s | go for a little flank maybe the rest of |
23284s | your team are dying by the way and |
23285s | they're dead uh nice flank but |
23287s | unfortunately wasn't able to help the |
23289s | rest of his squad is now aim god versus |
23291s | the world |
23293s | and the hung show spark end up capped |
23294s | the point well i i think what am god |
23296s | wanted to do there was to just control |
23298s | that corridor to make sure that shy |
23301s | didn't get a flank you know if aim god |
23303s | had been able to find shy there |
23306s | then yeah you just take this overturn |
23308s | out and then you might be able to still |
23310s | win the team fight but didn't work out |
23312s | that way philadelphia's fusion they've |
23313s | got to go again |
23315s | they've got a lot to be able to make |
23316s | this work |
23318s | how is zest in the back line he walked |
23320s | through five people |
23322s | there's the blizzard the wall luckily |
23324s | hunger spark of lucio with their backs |
23325s | they're able to run away and they don't |
23327s | get frozen speaking of me of frozen zest |
23329s | already popped that block more |
23330s | vulnerable but runs back to the rest of |
23332s | the team and he should be good goose way |
23335s | unhappy about that engagement from |
23337s | himself then then three ends up taking |
23339s | the kill there's the nano there's the |
23340s | blade beat to match 35 hp in a dream |
23342s | alfa yi is going to get healed up and |
23344s | he's already found one kill a windows |
23346s | doesn't say name go through the fight |
23348s | and a lamp to keep him alive and well he |
23350s | was anti but it didn't mean all too much |
23353s | a re-engagement from the spark as they |
23355s | use alpha yi where were you shattering |
23357s | bella |
23358s | there was nothing there |
23359s | what are you doing |
23361s | okay well uh maybe |
23364s | headset the wrong way around maybe |
23366s | directional audio messed up don't matter |
23368s | if your smart brains are messed up right |
23370s | now zest is still on the scene |
23372s | as gushway comes back from the grave and |
23374s | is met with a frosty dead |
23377s | they eventually find the recap |
23380s | 70 for the spark |
23383s | yep |
23384s | yeah i'm still thinking about where |
23386s | bella was aiming that shatter what's he |
23389s | shattering i don't know hey just in case |
23393s | it was it was a summer next to me yes |
23396s | he's not in that game |
23398s | fast enough it's fine well you know the |
23401s | good thing here for the fusion is that |
23403s | they're going to have another blizzard |
23404s | online that will help to be able to |
23406s | control the spark and where they decide |
23408s | to engage |
23409s | but look at the flank that they're |
23410s | taking this high ground for shy |
23413s | man yeah shy has been kind of dominant |
23416s | up here thus far but with the rest of |
23417s | the fusion just backing up to help the |
23419s | rest of the team |
23421s | should be uh should be fine now well |
23423s | there you go backing up not quite so |
23425s | much 93 and building for the fusion just |
23428s | stall time now for zest does he have |
23430s | block i'm not sure he does no he does |
23433s | not still look at ot |
23435s | spark have 70 now |
23438s | hello that fight went so |
23441s | off |
23442s | hilter for the fusion like they got so |
23443s | split there |
23445s | now philadelphia fusion have one more |
23447s | chance to come back |
23449s | spark are gonna have a full |
23450s | five ultimates here airmen three just |
23453s | switched over to cassidy feels like this |
23455s | is a start of a bad joke here for the |
23457s | philadelphia fusion but let's see if |
23458s | they can make something happen with this |
23460s | blizzard and the shatter |
23462s | i mean the spot oh zest trying to do it |
23464s | again he's trying to go for the big |
23465s | flank he's gonna make it before the rest |
23467s | of his team die i don't think so alfie |
23470s | receives the nano he's five percent |
23471s | towards that blade there's the blizzard |
23473s | they find the pick on to honor and the |
23476s | alfie with a nice little ghost dash |
23478s | straight to the front line again double |
23479s | kill for the genji a nice little reset |
23482s | can't get on the lucio just in time |
23484s | fixer's got fancy footwork but is it |
23486s | enough to put him on the point aim god |
23488s | is dead but m3 comes back on the legs |
23491s | fixer falls no healing but that's a |
23494s | healing station from a man three |
23496s | the soldier versus the world that's |
23498s | about it ot ticking down is the spark in |
23501s | control of what was a good start from |
23504s | the fusion |
23505s | slips away |
23506s | from them |
23507s | control center belongs to the spark |
23510s | we're going to round three on control |
23513s | what was really tough about philadelphia |
23515s | fusion running that reinhardt |
23517s | composition is that with that comp you |
23519s | really just kind of want to pick a |
23520s | target and just go forward |
23522s | and smash into the enemy composition but |
23525s | what ended up being difficult about the |
23526s | way that spark played that is that they |
23528s | were so spread out that fusion didn't |
23531s | have a good target so if they were going |
23533s | after goose way for example then well |
23535s | where's alpha yin shy there's kind of in |
23537s | your back oh |
23539s | bella sorry uh |
23541s | okay |
23542s | um |
23544s | had a few |
23546s | rough ones yeah |
23548s | to be fair |
23549s | get genji the doomfist is pretty mobile |
23551s | right they've got lucio so it's like ah |
23553s | shots kind of hard to land on the yeah i |
23555s | suppose but yeah no you're right but not |
23558s | the best thing to be |
23560s | caught on uh home video there |
23562s | no we're gonna we're just gonna go go |
23565s | forward bella's roots not playing |
23566s | reinhardt this time around in fact we're |
23568s | gonna see the ash and the wrecking ball |
23570s | from the fusion we're also gonna see the |
23573s | sojourn winston coming out from the |
23574s | spark so very different flavors of these |
23577s | comps |
23580s | man shy just |
23581s | it permanently has that 100 charge every |
23584s | single time we look at him |
23586s | i said it was spawn push from the spark |
23590s | half the fusion was split there rose |
23592s | like they were getting towards the point |
23593s | and then half of them were kind of stuck |
23594s | in that choke and spark took advantage |
23596s | of that even without a lucio they were |
23598s | able to capitalize on the space |
23601s | home was unlocked and captured by the |
23603s | fusion |
23604s | but with the dps doing this much damage |
23607s | not already much else you could do |
23609s | if you're philly |
23611s | yeah if you're if you're the spark you |
23613s | just wait fusion can cap the first |
23615s | couple of percent and then you just go |
23616s | in when the time is right and take back |
23619s | control i love the way that spark is |
23621s | just has all these different angles as |
23623s | well i mean you can see that where zest |
23626s | is trying to go on a flank here but |
23628s | it's it's not working not how is spark |
23631s | are playing so |
23633s | spread out |
23635s | oh i heard a box about a million miles |
23637s | away yeah there you go |
23639s | not bad starts |
23642s | however with the sparks com still fairly |
23644s | survivable out for you doing something |
23646s | sneaky oh |
23648s | whips the pulse bomb |
23650s | shifted to the right instead of the left |
23651s | unfortunate philadelphia fusion find the |
23653s | recap i thought spark maybe hold on for |
23655s | that uh a little bit longer |
23657s | apparently not to be mine's available |
23659s | from bellator as he tries to find some |
23661s | environmental he's gonna have to be |
23662s | careful though because briggs bash can |
23664s | send you over the edge now there's sorry |
23666s | finding the back line scouting the rest |
23667s | of the team out that's a nice little uh |
23669s | like uav there from fella syria finding |
23672s | the position the rest of the hangzhou |
23673s | spark alfie is pretty low same with shy |
23675s | shines now getting chased down by the |
23677s | wrecking ball as 45 percent and building |
23680s | for the fusion as the mines finally laid |
23682s | on to the point shy in a whole heap of |
23685s | hurt gets killed off by mm3 and |
23687s | extremely late double support ultimate |
23689s | use there from spark they use the nano |
23691s | and alpha yi and then they use the rally |
23695s | yeah that's not it chief |
23698s | i mean look at this |
23700s | bellasria is like in their spawn or |
23702s | something |
23703s | philadelphia efficient still have |
23705s | control of the point |
23707s | this is not looking good for the spark |
23708s | right now they're struggling to get |
23710s | these alts online |
23712s | and they're struggling to keep members |
23713s | up |
23714s | oh yes they are look at that |
23717s | and then three doing what he does best |
23719s | of course i said that and we switched to |
23720s | him and he gets headshot unfortunate but |
23722s | it's all good |
23723s | i mean fusion what 80 percent |
23726s | bob yeah rally |
23728s | like his post round he's gonna have to |
23730s | be big |
23730s | i mean mn3 can just also send the bobbin |
23733s | from afar so it's okay that he went down |
23736s | he can still be useful bob will do |
23738s | something |
23739s | but spark i mean they just haven't been |
23741s | able to find any value so far because of |
23743s | how fast of a pace fusion has been |
23746s | setting these fights |
23748s | there's the rally |
23751s | the point is being contested by only a |
23753s | single alpha yi he needs help |
23756s | someone send him help pulse bomb goes |
23758s | wide philadelphia fusion holding onto |
23759s | the ball but not for long and then three |
23761s | takes care of super rich the ball taking |
23763s | a little bit of a nap but it should wake |
23764s | up and get a little bit of damage down |
23766s | somehow and amongst the chaos the spark |
23768s | end up capping at the point now it's up |
23770s | to bella's rear zested mm3 to try and |
23772s | find a little summing something but with |
23773s | their support dead |
23775s | that might be little to nothing vanessa |
23778s | still trying to push people off the map |
23780s | and get some value for the hangzhou |
23782s | spark end up coming out on top |
23785s | they will indeed finally getting |
23787s | something done and getting more |
23789s | percentage on the board but what are |
23791s | they really going to have to follow this |
23792s | up we saw |
23794s | the |
23795s | unfortunate use of the rally in the nano |
23798s | so irony uh will be able to get at least |
23802s | the nano back online |
23803s | but i feel like everybody else on the |
23805s | spark is just too far away for that nano |
23808s | to really help top something off that's |
23810s | going to be really impactful like alpha |
23811s | you might not hit the pulse |
23813s | nicely |
23815s | enough to get the oh |
23816s | off yeah not a good start oh they do |
23818s | tray be very possessed those three's got |
23821s | the mines |
23823s | a lot of hp still |
23825s | can't be a ball like 700 hp it's kind of |
23827s | whack kind of wacky |
23829s | funny |
23831s | little wacky a little weird ponder |
23833s | sparks still have control of the point |
23835s | though |
23836s | but |
23837s | let's see what bella syria is able to |
23839s | get done with these mines yeah he's |
23840s | gonna need to summon rose because |
23842s | overtime is here spark up 99 double |
23845s | support auto available from the spark |
23846s | now |
23847s | and they've even got the rally to back |
23849s | them up and god needs to survive he gets |
23850s | this transport to a trance for |
23853s | unopportune time could be bad news bears |
23856s | rally is up over health be stacking zest |
23860s | trying to be clapping but he ain't gonna |
23862s | work there's too much healing on the |
23863s | side of the spark and that over health |
23865s | was too much possessed to chew through |
23867s | he's got the pulse bomb and the |
23868s | philadelphia fusion have found the flip |
23870s | but not for long was the spark every |
23872s | single one of their members is on the |
23873s | point already ces had no recall and now |
23875s | he just chases him up better through his |
23877s | backbone for long and the spark will |
23879s | claim map number one |
23881s | wow look at that |
23883s | this was so scrappy i mean this is what |
23885s | we were expecting coming out from the |
23887s | series right jaws these two teams have |
23890s | been going at it this entire season so |
23893s | far and i love that spark is coming out |
23896s | guns ablaze especially when gooshway was |
23898s | playing in the lineup today too i |
23900s | haven't seen much of him yet |
23902s | oh man |
23904s | that's real short in the play of the |
23906s | game the double boop off on the on the |
23908s | supports |
23909s | an incredibly close game it looks like |
23911s | philadelphia fusion had that one in the |
23912s | bag it was like 99 they had good olds |
23915s | coming in but |
23916s | unfortunately that won't go spark off to |
23918s | a good start though two and one on |
23920s | control as we jump in to the break we'll |
23923s | see on the other side |
23949s | [Music] |
24008s | [Music] |
24019s | [Music] |
24038s | [Music] |
24086s | [Music] |
24089s | so |
24098s | [Music] |
24104s | [Music] |
24126s | [Music] |
24140s | [Music] |
24149s | what's up family lambs we are back |
24151s | hungry spark versus the philadelphia |
24153s | fusion i can bother is our next map |
24157s | and we're going back to some of it's a |
24159s | little bit more familiar rose we having |
24160s | bernard coming back in yeah we haven't |
24163s | seen goose way at all |
24164s | really really not really comes in wins a |
24167s | bat he's a game |
24168s | yeah absolutely i mean maybe that was |
24171s | just the secret weapon of the spark |
24173s | right play just one map of the entirety |
24177s | of the mid-season madness qualifiers and |
24180s | then come out guns blazing on this first |
24182s | map of the series and definitely seemed |
24184s | like it caught philadelphia fusion by |
24185s | surprise |
24187s | especially when goose was so good with |
24188s | those main tank rolls |
24190s | really loved to see it but we do have |
24192s | bernard back in the roster and this has |
24194s | been a look that hangzhou spark have |
24196s | heavily relied upon for |
24198s | their mid-season madness qualifiers and |
24200s | even just like looking at how the |
24202s | kickoff clash went so bernard definitely |
24204s | bringing some spice |
24206s | yeah i mean what gooseberry played about |
24209s | it's about like 13 minutes or something |
24211s | crazy |
24212s | in the qualifiers which is insane to |
24216s | then obviously the first game you play |
24218s | in the actual tournament you're like wow |
24219s | we're gonna put crucible in but like you |
24221s | said rose maybe it was that secret |
24222s | weapon and that was against the chengdu |
24224s | hunters and he he did pretty well uh |
24226s | when he played the winston so yeah you |
24228s | know carrying on that uh |
24230s | carrying on that streak why not |
24233s | why not but yeah bernard's back in for |
24235s | the spark so as we head to arkansas what |
24238s | do you expect we see |
24240s | i mean this is a tough one because i |
24242s | feel like just the diversity of the |
24243s | philadelphia fusion makes it really |
24245s | difficult for me to pinpoint what |
24247s | they're going to play |
24248s | but when you know you take a look at how |
24250s | bernard has been playing i i feel like |
24252s | you just end up kind of seeing |
24255s | a lot of synergy around like the sojourn |
24258s | play the ash play and then also just the |
24261s | tracer from alpha yi and bernard just |
24263s | really helps to support those hero picks |
24265s | um definitely expect you to see more of |
24267s | that come through as we head over to |
24268s | ikenfalda but this is philly's map pick |
24271s | so they've got to have something up |
24272s | their sleeve for this |
24274s | yeah they've gotta be cooking summit |
24276s | that's for sure |
24277s | i mean as well i can bother is you can |
24279s | play so many different |
24281s | comps on this map it's kind of crazy |
24283s | like every single point is so different |
24285s | and the way it's yes |
24286s | like |
24287s | can be tough to say but i can imagine |
24289s | philly just want to play the ash let's |
24291s | be real i want to put mn3 on ash and |
24294s | it's a good map for it you reach second |
24295s | point you have a dominant ash on the |
24296s | high ground like feels pretty good |
24298s | it does feel good yeah but i do like |
24301s | that you point that out because because |
24302s | of philadelphia fusion's flexibility |
24305s | i like that they could just change |
24308s | things up if they need to and i don't |
24309s | feel like they're going to end up being |
24310s | on the back foot so let's say we get a |
24312s | third point and the ash is not working |
24315s | anymore or whatever else they're playing |
24317s | they can just kind of say okay well |
24319s | let's switch let's see what happens when |
24321s | we when we switch things up and |
24323s | then go a different route |
24327s | okay |
24328s | defense for the spark then yeah |
24331s | got a little bit shy |
24333s | on the sojourn and then alfie on that |
24336s | tracer okay |
24338s | kind of a semi-aggressive uh |
24340s | semi-aggressive uh defense i suppose i i |
24343s | love the like the core |
24345s | trio of sigma with the back and the zen |
24349s | the amount of like outward damage is |
24351s | kind of insane |
24353s | um |
24354s | especially if you have a good batiste |
24355s | like they are just pumping out damage as |
24358s | well that's true because it's not like |
24360s | on his gun where it both heals and |
24362s | damages with the same bullet like it's |
24365s | you can right click but then you can |
24366s | left click to do damage you right click |
24368s | to heal like it's uh it's |
24370s | kind of kind of ridiculous sometimes |
24372s | especially when you have a window up i i |
24374s | think this is a double edged sword |
24376s | though right like sigma bap and zen can |
24377s | synergize really well together but also |
24380s | means that you have to play |
24382s | with a slower tempo overall and i feel |
24384s | like with the composition that fusion is |
24386s | playing like i mean look at bellasri is |
24387s | already behind the team this is going to |
24390s | be a fast one |
24392s | nice little double boot tech there by |
24393s | the looks of it yeah he's taking a lot |
24395s | of damage and that is only a mini pack |
24396s | mind you |
24397s | it's not a mega health bag |
24399s | bernard is already dead mm3 with help of |
24402s | aim gobs discord took the tank out and |
24404s | now zest is in the back line should be a |
24406s | pretty easy cleanup especially if they |
24408s | can kill this zen first rear doesn't |
24409s | have to worry about anything that's one |
24411s | second away from that recall being |
24412s | available gets it online but gets the |
24414s | heels before he even needs to use it |
24416s | there you go there is the dive straight |
24418s | on the supports just kicked into the |
24420s | wall no escape for you kicked out of the |
24423s | lamp thank you very much |
24425s | hunger sparks defense falls |
24427s | yeah that's such a quick take and look |
24429s | at how much damage zest did |
24431s | already has a pulse bomb hello |
24435s | like like whoa |
24437s | oh spark didn't even get back to touch |
24440s | yeah i thought maybe i was like i don't |
24441s | want to call it too early but it looked |
24443s | like they were going against |
24448s | but yeah that's super unlucky |
24452s | yeah that definitely doesn't feel good |
24453s | and now spark is in this bad position |
24455s | where they they had to fall back but |
24457s | they're not really set up the way that |
24458s | they would want to i mean look at how |
24460s | isolated bernard is on the sigma just |
24464s | kind of down in the lower parts of the |
24466s | castle |
24468s | don't like that |
24471s | what was that zest almost hitting the |
24472s | one clip there |
24473s | ah yeah should be chased out yeah |
24475s | goodbye goodbye no more escape routes |
24478s | it's kind of annoying about the |
24479s | disruptive shot you just like put it on |
24481s | a doorway anybody that's trying to |
24482s | escape a fight or anything they just |
24484s | can't go it's uh very frustrating |
24487s | what's even more frustrating is losing |
24488s | your zen that early that's a nice right |
24490s | click from aim god a recall no pulse |
24494s | bomb attempted by alpha yi there's the |
24497s | window from super rich to try and see |
24498s | them back in this fight a rock through |
24501s | the window's gonna be good enough to |
24502s | kill mn3 not how much damage that is but |
24504s | i can imagine it's a lot nice pulse bomb |
24507s | from lpe however it connects with a |
24508s | shield so he does get a stick but |
24510s | nothing uh of anything as fixer tried to |
24512s | return to center but didn't quite get it |
24514s | i mean the fusion still moving this |
24516s | payload rose |
24517s | yeah at some point sparks gonna have to |
24519s | drop down onto the payload and try to |
24522s | contest but |
24525s | wow looking shy |
24526s | unable to get any overclock shots off |
24529s | there was a transcendence right in front |
24530s | of his face pictures also trying to bash |
24532s | him out the way |
24533s | was enough for them to end the fight |
24535s | forcing the transcendence like that it's |
24536s | just go time for bernard use the flux |
24539s | straight after trance and you're good to |
24541s | go |
24542s | yeah it was a nice call on response |
24544s | there but it was very expensive |
24547s | uh |
24548s | i mean that's that's a lot of ultimates |
24549s | to throw at trying to contest this point |
24553s | bellasri is still in your back line does |
24555s | anybody know |
24556s | do they know |
24558s | oh they got to know someone's about to |
24559s | go off the bridge that's all i have to |
24561s | say |
24563s | look at that they don't know |
24566s | oh |
24567s | you go |
24568s | that was close wow bernard's |
24571s | thankful for the tank passive the heck |
24573s | so you get pooped as much |
24576s | he do be floating though so |
24579s | maybe sigma should just step over the |
24581s | ball don't know |
24582s | oh |
24584s | driver there wow bellatri is health bar |
24587s | almost evaporated |
24591s | yeah that was uh maybe bella syria |
24594s | shouldn't do that i don't feel like |
24596s | that's been working |
24598s | uh |
24599s | but maybe it's enough of a distraction |
24600s | amy name god just found a nice pick |
24603s | again he picks up another support last |
24605s | fight |
24606s | um |
24607s | last poses then now the bab like you |
24609s | don't want to be in a position where |
24610s | you're just losing supports like this |
24612s | super early on payloads being moved in |
24614s | the mean time |
24616s | shall i said they are on the high ground |
24618s | aims pretty clean but still needs to |
24619s | build up the charge on the railgun to |
24622s | make any meaningful damage now going |
24625s | straight to melee mode hello goodbye |
24627s | nice headshot and the writer on the |
24629s | melee will finish off mm3 but it's very |
24631s | scrappy which has been the tale of this |
24634s | entire series so far rose |
24636s | just demonstrated |
24638s | yeah i mean |
24640s | the action just hasn't stopped i feel |
24642s | like neither team has really taken the |
24644s | time to reset |
24646s | and i'd love to see philadelphia fusion |
24648s | just try to approach this final |
24651s | stretch of this objective as a full team |
24653s | of five |
24654s | like bellasri has been trying to do some |
24656s | fancy stuff and the fancy footwork kind |
24658s | of helps but it hasn't been as impactful |
24661s | as fusion really needs to get this card |
24663s | to its destination and also try to reach |
24665s | that third checkpoint |
24668s | so no |
24669s | w |
24671s | maybe zest oh no look at that alfie is |
24673s | playing so far back he's like no no no |
24676s | we watched planet earlier on |
24678s | we ain't letting that happen again oh no |
24680s | way |
24680s | all right |
24681s | there's alfie making an impact in the |
24683s | fight throws pulse gets lap forced out |
24685s | but there's a transcendence to stop all |
24687s | the damage from the flux through the |
24689s | window mm3 kills shy with an overclocked |
24692s | uh rail gun and that's everything thrown |
24697s | into one small corridor fight mm3 finds |
24700s | three maybe a fourth oh tries to go for |
24702s | the little whip shot there mrs super |
24704s | rich but fixer claims him up |
24706s | philadelphia fusion |
24708s | that was a more defensive fight i think |
24710s | that's been the most decisive fight |
24711s | we've had all series so far |
24714s | it's been very scrappy but they do |
24715s | unlock the doors i was just laughing at |
24718s | the fact that fellas rio was like |
24720s | jumping on the payload like it inched |
24723s | forward i don't know there was something |
24725s | about that this is amusing i just yeah |
24729s | oh look at a big change though this is |
24731s | what we were talking about with the |
24732s | flexibility of the fusion |
24734s | not off the wrecking ball now and over |
24737s | to the zarya |
24738s | now this is like a really strong forward |
24741s | w composition where bella's reel gets so |
24744s | much charge and if you can just go in |
24746s | and beam people you're pretty happy |
24747s | about that so fusion just posturing for |
24750s | themselves to get bellasriya up to full |
24752s | charge or just get a huge pick |
24755s | wow okay mm3 takes care of out for ye |
24757s | overclocked pop by shy |
24761s | finches is like for like and uh there |
24763s | you go that's exactly what you were |
24764s | talking about perfectly time bubbled up |
24767s | a triple blink and a stick and a kill |
24769s | for zest the philadelphia fusion a few |
24772s | meters away from completing the payload |
24774s | with time to spare there's a minute to |
24776s | go |
24778s | as long as you spark two at the spawns |
24780s | the philadelphia fusion need to end this |
24782s | fight they need to find pigs they don't |
24784s | want to be staggered out and in fact |
24785s | that's exactly what's going to happen to |
24786s | them shy comes back to the fight |
24788s | headshots bella surya and the |
24790s | philadelphia fusion they've lost their |
24792s | foothold |
24793s | yeah and there is dangerous territory as |
24795s | well because you've got 40 seconds left |
24797s | you're starting to lose cooldowns you're |
24799s | losing numbers left and right |
24801s | burner came out of spawn with the |
24803s | wrecking ball just to be able to stall |
24806s | and it worked out beautifully and so now |
24808s | philadelphia fusion have one more chance |
24811s | at this they lost the charge in bella |
24812s | surya they're gonna have to try to get |
24814s | it back but it's hopefully gonna be off |
24816s | the back of this amplification matrix |
24820s | okay not someone that off you really |
24821s | wants to tussle with |
24823s | is zest can get a pulse of course nice |
24827s | scouting by zest though i will say |
24829s | just going up there normally you |
24830s | wouldn't but you just got to make sure |
24832s | someone's uh |
24833s | not chilling |
24836s | all right well there's the window for |
24837s | this room i'll be able to earn a grab in |
24839s | this fight we'll have to wait and find |
24840s | out big slam in the back forces the |
24841s | transcendence and the lap at the same |
24843s | time not good for the fusion they need |
24844s | to be able to find a fight now the back |
24846s | lines a little bit more vulnerable than |
24847s | they'd hope alfie does throughout the |
24849s | pulse bomb but can't quite find anything |
24851s | in fact a huge right click from the zen |
24853s | straight through the window the hong |
24854s | kong spark |
24856s | just in the blink of an eye just |
24857s | eradicate the fusion |
24860s | with a nice little spicy defense |
24863s | just before point three |
24865s | really well played by the spark |
24867s | absolutely i mean i think fusion gave it |
24868s | their best shot but ultimately |
24871s | couldn't get the ultimates that they |
24873s | wanted online fast enough to be able to |
24875s | just really push that cart over the edge |
24877s | i mean look at how they had to approach |
24879s | sparks defense on second point jaws they |
24881s | had to throw four ultimates into a tiny |
24884s | room to play tiny overwatch |
24886s | just to be able to capture that second |
24888s | point |
24888s | it was a lot of investment they just |
24890s | didn't have that same type of investment |
24892s | for that third |
24895s | yeah if bella's really got that grab |
24897s | online i feel like it in such a |
24899s | different story but it started out with |
24901s | a giant slam |
24904s | from the spark and then as soon as that |
24906s | happened you use trance and you use lamp |
24910s | at the same time |
24911s | like in this split second um in this |
24914s | split second circumstances |
24916s | you know the comms the comms are wild |
24918s | like they're going out of control |
24920s | absolutely but |
24922s | it's not really something that |
24924s | you know like only you know only strands |
24927s | it's just kind of a well we're right |
24929s | next to overtime we need to find kills |
24932s | we can't get off the payload um |
24935s | and it just so happens they overlaid |
24936s | them um the lamp is just so crucial |
24938s | especially around those corners like it |
24940s | can be so valuable uh for bella's rear |
24942s | to stay alive and grab obviously the |
24944s | transcendence too right to help the rest |
24947s | of the team stay alive it just kind of |
24949s | fell apart as soon as those uh abilities |
24951s | i feel like there was a miscommunication |
24953s | issue right i feel like i saw some of |
24955s | the fusion especially the back line |
24957s | trying to disengage |
24960s | but bella cereal was still tanking in |
24962s | the front line it didn't really get the |
24963s | memo to back up |
24965s | uh so yeah i think that that alongside |
24968s | just the over |
24970s | investment of those cooldowns made it |
24972s | very difficult for fusion to actually |
24974s | get what they wanted which was that |
24976s | third point captured but sides are |
24978s | swapped let's see how spark choose to |
24981s | approach this attack |
24983s | oh |
24986s | versus mf3 is just all mm3 right now it |
24989s | feels like |
24991s | this is the aim of this guy's unreal |
24993s | we've got some ridiculous aims now i |
24995s | like the fact that scott brought up on |
24997s | the desk about you know uh back when he |
24999s | was playing crack in the day you know um |
25003s | it was like wow 15 you know 50 60 70 cr |
25006s | accuracy that's kind of cracked and then |
25008s | a lot of the players these days are |
25010s | picking up 20 plus percent you're like |
25013s | jesus and we're seeing |
25015s | a lot of like the railgun headshots too |
25018s | just those percentages sky-high |
25021s | yeah it's just it just shows you how |
25023s | good players get over the the course of |
25026s | the games like lifespan you know just |
25029s | every single year the the competition |
25031s | and the level of skill and the level of |
25033s | play just |
25035s | unbelievably uh shoots up with like |
25037s | it's absolutely nuts |
25039s | big stick |
25040s | nice like imagine if you transported mn3 |
25043s | zest any of the tracer players in his |
25045s | campus back to like |
25047s | 2018 like how much of a god |
25052s | for sure i mean i feel like every single |
25054s | year that skill ceiling gets higher and |
25056s | higher |
25057s | and this is a great example of that i |
25059s | mean spark definitely putting on a show |
25061s | for everybody too about how good some of |
25063s | these rookies are i mean come on i know |
25066s | we talk about shy but about alpha yi |
25069s | gotta talk about alpha yi alfie's tracer |
25071s | has been pretty phenomenal whether it's |
25073s | been getting big sticks or |
25076s | just |
25077s | at the duels |
25079s | yeah he is |
25081s | all very much a jeweler unfortunately |
25082s | though rose i knew that was going to |
25084s | happen you were like alfie's great and |
25085s | then he just died of course of course |
25089s | i mean |
25092s | i was going off on the tangent and all |
25093s | of a sudden i see philadelphia fusion |
25095s | lighting up the kill feed and i go |
25097s | well there's no turning back on this |
25099s | snake yeah i don't want to back out now |
25101s | because i won't go too far so exactly |
25104s | oh there you go anyway the spark look |
25106s | they've got a lot of ultimates coming |
25108s | into the castle side i mean ideally you |
25110s | want to put out view of someone on the |
25111s | payload to push around go for that flux |
25114s | we'll see |
25116s | what about those ant matrices though |
25120s | ambitious |
25122s | tracer can throw but she can't throw |
25123s | that far not against the uh sojourn |
25126s | anyway geez that mobility is a little |
25128s | bit ridiculous that's true almost half |
25129s | hp already still got the minds nice move |
25131s | away shy and bernard already just |
25134s | destroying the fusion |
25137s | flux overclock used |
25139s | two support ultimates in the back pocket |
25142s | penis rear tries to go for that big slam |
25143s | there rose slam into the mines just got |
25145s | completely denied by super rich |
25148s | absolutely i mean look at the way that |
25150s | spark are just kind of putting |
25151s | philadelphia fusion on notice |
25153s | i love that super rich especially has |
25155s | been just keeping a really good eye on |
25157s | the back line so that nobody is left |
25160s | alone to have to deal with the zest |
25161s | tracer |
25164s | well they have to deal with it at some |
25165s | point he's got pulse but |
25168s | fusion they've got five volts |
25170s | hung spark they've got two supports |
25172s | there's the window there's the pulse |
25174s | there's everything else rally for the |
25176s | hung show spark is now zest trying to |
25178s | just contest payload so hangzhou swag |
25180s | can't put it in the fusion have to just |
25182s | fall out of these tight corridors and |
25184s | mn3's done just that now sending himself |
25186s | to the sky straight into the mines for a |
25189s | little bit of protection but |
25190s | unfortunately the rally was just too |
25192s | good from the spark it's still |
25194s | unbelievable ultimate luckily aim god is |
25196s | still doing the damage necessary to keep |
25198s | them in the fight they just have to now |
25200s | deal with fixer in the sky a slam |
25202s | straight on top of alfie's head and |
25204s | actually bernard falling over the rally |
25206s | was good but the philadelphia fusion |
25208s | outlasting the spark at the very end |
25211s | wow fixes moon boots |
25214s | my god stay like so long i i even |
25217s | bernard was able to hit it with an |
25219s | accretion and he still like didn't get |
25222s | stunned he i was already like super |
25224s | jumping |
25226s | the rock hit i mean look bernard looks a |
25229s | little frustrated actually going over to |
25231s | the wrecking ball now just to try to up |
25233s | the pace a little bit because hong show |
25235s | sparker running out of time |
25239s | there's a little bit of wall right there |
25241s | oh wow |
25247s | on that guy not to use lamp there he was |
25249s | one hp and was like oh i'm good i mean |
25252s | to be fair the bat shift right now is a |
25254s | little bit insane with the instant hp |
25256s | but but still i mean yeah you get it |
25259s | back really quickly but |
25261s | they |
25262s | they lose ain't got again one minute and |
25264s | 18 seconds to go for long show spark the |
25267s | fusion they lose one support rose the |
25270s | sparks still need to gain a lot of |
25271s | ground here they're gonna be able to |
25273s | gain too much as that window gets used |
25275s | and with bernard they with an are gone |
25277s | they can't really create that space like |
25279s | they could before look shy trying to |
25281s | pick his head around the corridor to get |
25282s | a kill onto aimgod or fixer but it's |
25285s | impossible right now bella's rear with a |
25287s | nice slam saved by the lamp and now shy |
25290s | try to take madison to his own hands |
25292s | with the overclock he does find one kill |
25294s | but that might just be about it he |
25296s | hasn't got much support left and has to |
25298s | back off he only got one shot off and |
25300s | actually zest comes back with a |
25301s | postmodern super rich the hong show |
25303s | spark unable to win a fight on this |
25305s | final little point here before the |
25307s | checkpoint unlocks |
25309s | wow even after losing the supports out |
25311s | of the way it was just bella ceria to |
25314s | try to contest the payload |
25316s | there's a big stick though all right i |
25318s | think congratulations park got this now |
25320s | yeah okay there we go |
25322s | man shai just got completely denied yeah |
25325s | in that last fight |
25328s | 14 seconds to go they do manage to cap |
25330s | and they get the doors open |
25333s | map will end here regardless |
25336s | of who wins as the fusion didn't end up |
25338s | capping only got 62 and a bit meters |
25346s | that's big |
25347s | that's big that's bad it's not quite the |
25350s | werewolf but it is the hunger spark shy |
25352s | does end up going down fairly early |
25354s | however |
25355s | the fusion i think they you know |
25357s | definitely happy without the spawns or |
25359s | their backs |
25360s | especially happy as super rich used at |
25362s | that rally however once again these |
25365s | traces just getting dealt with |
25367s | mm3 in a little bit of trouble wow those |
25369s | mines can't survive those unfortunately |
25371s | the pile driver into the mine components |
25373s | perfect embellish three and go straight |
25375s | back to spawn to get all his health back |
25376s | but someone's gonna touch please touch |
25378s | okay |
25379s | okay we're not in the west not anymore |
25381s | two eastern teams playing let's be real |
25383s | zest manages to touch the point just in |
25385s | time but the transcendence the spark |
25386s | might be able to survive the uncoming on |
25388s | sort of damage from mn3 but super rich |
25390s | and bernard jumps straight towards the |
25392s | spawn to give him no space and time to |
25394s | act |
25395s | and the spark will take a map number two |
25400s | and find themselves in match point |
25405s | this match still looks close |
25408s | still gonna call this close |
25411s | but sho spark just seem like they're |
25413s | starting to pick up the pace a little |
25415s | bit |
25416s | maybe this is going to even out the |
25417s | score line between these two teams |
25419s | philadelphia fusion has the edge so far |
25421s | in their matchup history this season |
25423s | with a 2-1 but |
25424s | looks like hunk just spark are making |
25426s | the comeback |
25428s | yeah i mean the the story has been mn3 |
25430s | versus |
25432s | shy |
25433s | feels like shy is getting the better of |
25434s | him right now yeah like you mentioned |
25437s | rose fusion |
25439s | 2-1 versus the spark this season will it |
25441s | be two and two will spark take it home |
25444s | just one map number two |
25446s | fusion's time to choose where they're |
25448s | gonna go we'll have to wait and find out |
25450s | we'll see you in a bit |

25644s | [Music] |
25671s | welcome back |
25672s | fusion and the spark head to head |
25675s | currently um shy |
25677s | do be gigalift him right now thank you |
25679s | for uh the star bro by the way uh 22 |
25682s | final blows for shahi |
25685s | versus mn3s 11 which is the highest on |
25689s | the fusion yeah |
25690s | i said it at the very end i didn't |
25692s | realize how big the gap was currently |
25695s | shy looking mighty clean facing off |
25697s | against the rookie |
25699s | yeah i mean hey you saw on the eye test |
25703s | that shai was kind of diffing him in |
25705s | three and i love that we've got the stat |
25706s | to back that up |
25708s | um |
25709s | definitely feels like it's playing into |
25711s | sparks favor right now and now philly |
25713s | trying to |
25715s | get some leg in this get some stay in |
25718s | this game you know what i just |
25720s | my point is that philly has picked |
25722s | circuit royale and they have some subs |
25724s | we've got carpay and fury coming into |
25727s | the roster |
25728s | yeah so well it doesn't mean we get cm3 |
25730s | widows that's uh awesome that's true |
25732s | fantastic that little replay package |
25733s | that we had at the very top of this game |
25736s | just m3 clicking on everybody's heads |
25739s | and when you're on fire with the widow |
25741s | or just like any hit scan there's like |
25743s | no shot you can miss you know you just |
25745s | yeah it's just in your veins at that |
25747s | point it feels so clean but can he |
25750s | actually get that feeling back can he |
25753s | just continue his will to make |
25755s | performance from the other day of course |
25756s | it's different day different server |
25757s | different you know different team you're |
25759s | facing up against but |
25760s | like |
25761s | if you get a hot strikers widow it feels |
25763s | so so good maybe that's what they need |
25765s | to come back in this series rose yeah |
25768s | well i mean the other thing that i'm i'm |
25770s | thinking about is that mn3 is a rookie |
25772s | you know yes we've seen some incredible |
25773s | performances from the fusion so far but |
25775s | i hope that mn3 isn't getting into his |
25776s | own head about the performance so far |
25779s | and kind of shy |
25780s | doing more damage and having a bit more |
25782s | of an impact |
25784s | we've seen philadelphia fusion on |
25785s | circuit royale in the big match that |
25788s | everybody is probably thinking about |
25790s | right now we're going to talk about is |
25792s | the philadelphia fusion versus seoul |
25794s | dynasty match which was one of the final |
25796s | matches for the mid-season madness |
25799s | qualifiers on circuit royale we did see |
25802s | mn3 carpe and fury in the lineup and it |
25805s | was that widowmaker that sojourn and |
25807s | that sigma so hopefully this is enough |
25809s | to be able to deal with what the spark |
25811s | are going to be coming out with but |
25813s | i would still be a little concerned |
25814s | knowing that bernard is so good at these |
25817s | off tanks |
25820s | yeah it's still pretty scary and you're |
25822s | on the back foot |
25824s | yeah we're the veterans of course fury |
25826s | and carpe coming in so and aim god to be |
25829s | fair |
25830s | yep all right i've got a veteran at this |
25831s | point |
25834s | yeah absolutely i mean this is what we |
25835s | were looking at for these rosters uh |
25838s | playing together we've got mix of |
25839s | veterans mix of rookie talents and |
25842s | sometimes it is those veterans that hold |
25844s | the glue of the team together just to |
25847s | keep their heads on straight and focused |
25848s | for the matches ahead but |
25851s | philadelphia fusion really hope they're |
25852s | not destined for second place again |
25855s | gotta gotta win this match keep |
25857s | themselves in the game here on circuit |
25858s | royale |
25859s | that is the tiniest mug of all time |
25862s | super easy is that is that an espresso |
25864s | cup |
25865s | i think it might be an espresso one yeah |
25867s | that is the tiniest mug |
25869s | nice that's uh no way near the saddle 2l |
25872s | that's |
25874s | super rich tea i don't oh super rich tea |
25877s | actually that kind of makes sense |
25878s | probably uh probably an espresso though |
25881s | um maybe yeah uh the rookies |
25883s | versus the the veterans i mean look if |
25886s | there's one map you can do it on and get |
25888s | that hot streak going is circuit royale |
25890s | with the widowmaker so we'll see if mm3 |
25892s | can stand up and i was just thinking |
25894s | about it too um |
25896s | with this kind of rookie in the |
25898s | in the veteran |
25900s | kind of debate |
25901s | you can kind of see in the stats from uh |
25905s | i spoke about at the very top 22 to 11 |
25907s | final blows |
25909s | 68 railgun accuracy 16 rogan kills way |
25912s | less deaths like shy right now |
25915s | a gigalift uh the hundred spark on that |
25918s | map and like i said if you're on with |
25920s | that hit scan rose you just carry that |
25923s | through the series and it can just carry |
25924s | your entire team if shy i don't think |
25927s | he's gonna slow down just yet i don't |
25929s | think so either i i mean you got to |
25931s | remember that this is a team effort |
25933s | right like yes your dps if they're |
25935s | really good can carry you but only so |
25937s | far |
25938s | you have to have to give some credit to |
25940s | the rest of the spark for being able to |
25942s | support this type of solo hero play |
25945s | coming out from shai |
25947s | and also just you know the positioning |
25948s | of the team as a whole to make sure that |
25950s | shai can really put in the legwork here |
25952s | but yeah these are |
25955s | these stats are staggering jaws |
25957s | yeah oh my goodness 13k 13 uh a big k |
25962s | damage done not bad whatsoever we should |
25965s | just be heading into game in just a |
25966s | moment |
25967s | looks like we're just waiting for the |
25969s | teams to ready up but one of them's |
25971s | ready but we just went here now so |
25973s | should be all good to go |
25975s | yeah i was just thinking too um bernard |
25977s | specifically |
25979s | he he was around uh contenders at the |
25982s | time that was like the sparkler the doha |
25985s | era goats like and then doom goats and |
25987s | uh elephants etc like he grew up and he |
25991s | was |
25992s | playing fusion uni at the time and he he |
25994s | grew up with a lot of the players that |
25997s | are now in the league at like the top of |
25999s | their game and he ended up joining the |
26001s | london spitfire |
26003s | for 2020 and just didn't really find |
26006s | anything at all on that team that was |
26008s | the |
26009s | that was oh sorry 2019 to uh yeah to |
26012s | 2020. that was the weird year for london |
26016s | spitfire and they didn't do hot at all |
26019s | and it's good to see him now showing |
26021s | what he can do on this big stage against |
26023s | a team like the philadelphia fusion |
26025s | against seoul dynasty shanghai dragons |
26027s | etc throughout the |
26029s | the regular season because i think he's |
26031s | always been a player with uh exceptional |
26033s | talent and it's showing right here right |
26036s | now yeah shy's putting in a lot of the |
26038s | leg work and a lot of the deadlift in |
26040s | there but i don't think you can count |
26042s | bernard out of that lifting especially |
26045s | with the the way the hunger spark have |
26047s | been playing over the last few weeks |
26049s | rose i agree i wholeheartedly agree here |
26053s | i mean we see this in some of the |
26054s | western teams too your dps they can be |
26057s | good but it's not usually enough to be |
26060s | able to carry a team and i think this is |
26062s | another great example of that where |
26064s | bernard's you know sigma |
26067s | whatever it is that he's really gonna be |
26068s | coming out of the gates with is plenty |
26071s | to make sure that the rest of the spark |
26073s | feels supported to be able to do their |
26075s | best work bernard is going to be |
26077s | sticking at sigma for this defense and |
26079s | shy on the widowmaker to duel it out |
26082s | once again with mn3 |
26086s | i'm always curious what widow goes to |
26088s | the grapple shot there you'll see if |
26089s | it's a little bit more of a passer widow |
26091s | or offensive one |
26094s | oh |
26095s | okay |
26096s | okay |
26098s | we started off this i'm saying you get |
26102s | the moves you get the blood in your |
26105s | veins pumping when you're on that hit |
26107s | scan |
26108s | that can just roll through and carry you |
26111s | through some games like widowmaker play |
26112s | we've seen mm3 do it once we might see |
26115s | him do it again right here to keep him |
26117s | in and there's another kill just |
26119s | sticking on mn3 permanently just palmer |
26122s | look at m3 because he is going to be |
26124s | lighting this one up shy and i'll be |
26126s | dead super early look at the push now |
26128s | from the fusion should be easy on this |
26131s | first corner another kill make that |
26133s | three for mn3 already carpe eventually |
26136s | picks up one even tracking alfie through |
26139s | the skies grapple up there he is if he |
26142s | hit that i would have crushed my headset |
26144s | i would have |
26146s | yeah i mean wow philadelphia fusion wins |
26150s | those hands down |
26152s | spark couldn't even like hold a |
26154s | candle to whatever it was happening over |
26157s | there |
26158s | i mean now i'm in three gets to get set |
26160s | up |
26161s | i'm gonna get sideswiped so fast like |
26164s | look at how much |
26165s | evan three is outpacing shy right now oh |
26168s | my gosh i can't even walk out of spawn |
26171s | god that was nasty |
26173s | and this is this is it too this widow |
26175s | like mind game uh they got going on when |
26178s | you've got a couple of kills up against |
26179s | the enemy widowmaker they're gonna be |
26180s | way more scared to actually peek you go |
26182s | for the grapple shots on you like |
26184s | yeah because the enemy will make is just |
26186s | uh |
26187s | they're online |
26188s | yeah they're ready to go like and now |
26191s | mm3s are such a massive advantage with |
26193s | the with the sights too |
26195s | big blocks from around the corner super |
26197s | rich got lifted up didn't have the lamp |
26198s | got killed in the air anyway and now uh |
26201s | fury is just |
26203s | flying through the rest of the team |
26206s | yeah i mean |
26208s | oh my gosh oh stop it |
26211s | mn3 |
26214s | what a roll so far the fusion have look |
26218s | at how much confidence evan three is |
26220s | playing with right now sparker's so |
26222s | scared |
26224s | i would be too |
26225s | i am scared |
26227s | i'm scared for spark |
26231s | five minutes and 20 seconds yeah |
26234s | up to point two like that is insane and |
26237s | they've already gotten high ground like |
26238s | what more can you ask for |
26240s | oh my gosh |
26244s | yeah nuts i mean fury gets really low |
26246s | there you see the immortality field able |
26248s | to keep him alive |
26249s | but mn3 still on the hunt for somebody's |
26253s | head |
26254s | they can just wait out these sights |
26255s | though |
26256s | yeah they're all |
26257s | good |
26260s | if you can just hide behind a shield |
26261s | they know where the zen is but yeah you |
26262s | ain't peeking that |
26264s | nope |
26265s | you |
26272s | your widow jumps around the corner as |
26273s | well at the same time like it can be |
26274s | yeah |
26275s | quite an easy duel for men3 he's low |
26277s | please heal thank you |
26281s | let's see |
26282s | like the widow mind just to check the |
26284s | flank |
26287s | but oh my gosh evan three is just |
26289s | looking at an easier point now batman |
26291s | three just to kind of |
26293s | set up shop |
26294s | big corridor to look down but i need to |
26296s | be able to touch the point but right now |
26298s | it's actually all on alfie just kind of |
26301s | juggling away he spots the enemy |
26303s | wouldn't make his mn3 and has to back |
26305s | off a nice flux kills fury |
26309s | that was uh nowhere to be seen |
26310s | unfortunately nice reflect well if he |
26313s | doesn't get his head taken off |
26315s | fusion still though look how far the |
26316s | player's gone already rose they're so |
26317s | close to that final point i mean this is |
26319s | ridiculous as well because on circuit |
26321s | royale we don't |
26322s | very often see completions of this map |
26327s | it looks like they're going to be |
26328s | stopped for a little bit longer as |
26330s | fusion have to you know they're going to |
26332s | reset here but |
26334s | not without mn3 taking a few names first |
26338s | yeah it's just about the widowmakers |
26339s | right now |
26341s | what is this |
26344s | i've never seen a fight directly on this |
26345s | corner there's two windows looking |
26347s | straight at it nice reflect kills from |
26349s | alfa either yeah fury has to back all |
26351s | the way up they were touching point as |
26353s | you can hear the music m3 does he get |
26355s | the shot no he doesn't always right |
26357s | behind him not sure how and then three |
26358s | ended up there was feeling himself just |
26360s | a little bit i think |
26362s | yeah why not i'll just put myself in the |
26364s | middle of the team we'll see what |
26364s | happens |
26365s | hey i don't blame him i mean |
26368s | maybe you get the attention turned back |
26370s | towards you if you're on cart i mean |
26373s | fusion were trying to play on the super |
26375s | weird corner by the pool and and now |
26377s | they're back as a full team |
26380s | another use of the sight lines though |
26382s | here for mn3 just to try to grab some |
26385s | amount of a pick |
26387s | what a bold peek there from shy luckily |
26389s | he took a body shot it wasn't a headshot |
26391s | flux coming out from the fusion they've |
26393s | got a whole lot of volts going on at |
26394s | once overclock has also been used |
26397s | there's the play from alpha yi on the |
26398s | corner of the payload but it's going to |
26400s | get negated by that transcendence and |
26402s | the three finds shy not a body shot but |
26405s | uh not a head shot but a body shot this |
26406s | time around oh no he just killed carpe i |
26409s | think with a reflex kill he's even |
26411s | claiming his own team as kills i'll be |
26414s | is now in his face gets rocked by fury |
26417s | but the spawns are still good for the |
26419s | spark they are going to force uh |
26422s | philadelphia fusion all the way back |
26424s | three minutes down off the time bank it |
26426s | was this it's got to be a reflect kill |
26428s | surely surely |
26430s | [Music] |
26432s | we take those |
26435s | oh no |
26436s | i mean okay i've fallen victim to that |
26438s | so many times you try and |
26441s | you try and predict the end of the |
26443s | reflex timing yeah and you end up either |
26447s | killing yourself or came the teammate |
26448s | like it feels pretty bad shy now |
26451s | grappling to the sky kills fixer he's |
26453s | put his name on the board but someone's |
26455s | in the flank he has to be careful who is |
26457s | it of course his mn3 he's not satisfied |
26459s | with the withered duel anymore he's |
26460s | going to go onto the genji instead shy's |
26462s | pretty low in fact 70 hp but he's still |
26464s | peaking |
26465s | iron he does find the kill off to mm3 |
26467s | eventually and now super rich on the |
26469s | height has got a nice little perch to |
26471s | sit on as he heals up bernard the |
26473s | philadelphia fusion unable to make good |
26475s | use of their time bank and now only down |
26478s | to |
26478s | one minute and 15 seconds but this is |
26481s | good for the fusion if you want to see |
26482s | them get a full map completion here they |
26485s | got the window out of super rich would |
26486s | be a great zoning tool for the spark to |
26488s | have and realistically the only thing |
26491s | that's going to be a major impact that's |
26492s | going to take some time off the clock is |
26494s | going to be |
26495s | shy sights |
26497s | but that's going to expire with plenty |
26499s | of time for the fusion to build up to |
26500s | some of these more critical ultimates |
26502s | i mean this window also another zoning |
26504s | tool but in the favor of the fusion this |
26506s | time |
26508s | yeah but it feels pretty bad using it |
26511s | there |
26512s | i mean i guess you |
26513s | get a high ground but |
26515s | the spark are fine with that because |
26517s | they just back up to the last point they |
26518s | know they don't have a window to deal |
26519s | with anymore flux for fury and carpet |
26522s | may be nearing an overclock of his own |
26524s | i'll be |
26525s | finding people in the skies and uh i |
26527s | mean bernard just got his off a little |
26529s | bit better than uh the fury did a few |
26531s | resets for the genji 20 seconds to go |
26534s | the hung show spark of burnt down a |
26536s | gargantuan time bank that the fusion |
26538s | built up capping point b |
26541s | i don't think they're going to be able |
26542s | to get back in time maybe fixer on the |
26543s | lucio but that's about it oh fury on the |
26546s | doomfist but this fight is not looking |
26549s | great transcendence and blade available |
26551s | for the spark |
26553s | oh okay doofus rollout gonna get fury |
26556s | there though goodbye |
26558s | and you're done son oh yeah |
26561s | oh no |
26563s | over his face i'm glad we got caught |
26565s | that one on camera doesn't end up going |
26567s | down and a transcendence and then three |
26568s | actually kills bernard through it a |
26570s | slash and a dash will end his life |
26572s | before the tracks can heal him up in |
26574s | time over time is still ticking down as |
26576s | carpe unleashes the overclock |
26578s | everybody's in the corner protected by |
26580s | the immortality field but it's long gone |
26582s | a nice anti actually from pixar he comes |
26584s | back on the honor it's gonna save this |
26586s | fight somehow the fusion in ot get back |
26589s | to the point in time and fix it comes up |
26591s | absolutely massive |
26593s | aim god clears the mech of bernard and |
26595s | that'll be it's the hangzhou spark are |
26598s | eradicated and the fusion by the skin of |
26601s | their teeth cat point c oh wow we were a |
26604s | panic mold there for a little while too |
26606s | jaws |
26607s | it didn't look like philadelphia fusion |
26609s | with 15 seconds left were gonna be able |
26611s | to touch |
26613s | and then doomfist rolled up barely |
26615s | bought some time |
26617s | boy |
26618s | fix our name god sure did carry that |
26621s | last fight |
26623s | that was a massive |
26625s | massive ante like everybody who's |
26627s | cowering in that corner with the lamps |
26630s | uh behind the pillar so they can't kill |
26632s | it easily but |
26633s | fix it comes up huge |
26636s | well there you go they managed to get |
26637s | the completion rose like i still can't |
26639s | believe there was five minutes and 30 |
26641s | seconds in the time bank a circle royale |
26644s | is hard to complete at the end of the |
26645s | day |
26646s | it is you've got the respawn advantage |
26648s | for the defending team and unfortunately |
26650s | if you're going to continue to stick to |
26651s | the widowmaker i think we saw a really |
26653s | nice example of how sometimes the |
26655s | widowmaker on those third and final |
26657s | points can be a little tough |
26659s | if you're not getting the picks as the |
26661s | attacking team widowmaker |
26663s | you're not really providing a whole lot |
26665s | of value because you don't have point |
26667s | presence either but look at that anti |
26670s | my god and then yeah aim god just |
26675s | yeah aim god and fix up they just they |
26677s | just carried that that entire last fight |
26680s | the supports do be carried |
26683s | that's gonna feel so good though like i |
26685s | love that we get to see that highlighted |
26687s | in overwatch too |
26689s | yeah definitely feels good stop stealing |
26690s | our limelight nano the zenmore |
26693s | luckily a lot of teams are doing that |
26694s | right now so i'm not complaining jump |
26696s | peak from mn3 |
26699s | sees nobody |
26700s | all right double way to make it again |
26703s | y'all love to see it |
26707s | but |
26708s | will it work out better for shy this |
26710s | time around playing the attacking |
26712s | widowmaker not getting anything with a |
26714s | grapple |
26715s | unlike mn3 on that first |
26717s | grapple shot |
26718s | yeah i mean |
26720s | i feel like that point of this point of |
26722s | the map is m3's domain like the amount |
26724s | of clips he's got |
26726s | that's true |
26727s | ridiculous rose oh he he's practiced |
26730s | he's practiced this map in the angles |
26732s | absolutely he's just like |
26734s | the only thing he's been doing is just |
26736s | spawn capping people uh in the overwatch |
26738s | to |
26739s | the beta oh well whoops oh |
26741s | carpe not really having much of an |
26742s | impact this game and even less so now as |
26744s | you get rocked |
26748s | yeah everybody's really trying i mean at |
26751s | this point you do have to wait for the |
26753s | rest of the fusion to uh |
26755s | get back here uh namely carpe |
26760s | so gotta give up a lot of space here to |
26762s | the spark as they start to round this |
26764s | corner |
26766s | mn3 still trying to scope out where shai |
26769s | is |
26771s | you can see through these little |
26772s | railings as well like all these little |
26774s | like uh |
26776s | arrow signs i guess there's like small |
26777s | little gaps you can shoot through but |
26779s | very limited angle |
26783s | it's going to be a little bit easier for |
26785s | shai to find an angle here |
26788s | but mn3 still staying relatively safe |
26795s | see ya |
26797s | all right nice headshot by carpe |
26800s | you're going to start off the fight i |
26800s | don't need to worry about the winner |
26802s | anymore so they can attempt to dislodge |
26804s | bernard |
26806s | murray's rooted in place at this point |
26810s | look at this even alpha e has been kind |
26812s | of sussed out of the hiding spot |
26816s | but i don't i love that fusion still |
26818s | playing this very patiently like it's a |
26820s | lot of teams might make the mistake of |
26822s | well you gotta pick so move in right |
26824s | but that's definitely not how you want |
26826s | to be playing this corner you could |
26828s | overextend |
26830s | that was nice |
26832s | that was a really nice pair of three a |
26833s | quick a big headshot then a quick |
26835s | headshot to finish him off and then |
26836s | calmly just through the window |
26839s | cleaned up the rest of the hungry spot |
26840s | but |
26841s | rose they're taking so long to to really |
26844s | find or do anything they got a minute |
26846s | and 20 seconds to go |
26850s | yeah that's not a whole lot left for the |
26852s | spark |
26853s | they don't have a whole lot more |
26855s | distance to cover to be able to capture |
26857s | this first point but |
26858s | yeah that time bank is certainly |
26860s | starting to run out i mean shy hasn't |
26862s | even worked up to |
26863s | the ultimate yet |
26865s | and alpha yi barely getting there with |
26867s | the dragon blade you're really |
26869s | as a spark waiting for these ultimates |
26872s | to come online and then you've got to |
26873s | kind of use everything here |
26875s | good start |
26876s | all right very good start with mm3 dying |
26880s | shy now takes a nice little position oh |
26882s | lamps gone too not good for fusion might |
26884s | have to burn the trance |
26886s | carpe can he come alive again nice body |
26888s | shot onto shy finishes them off |
26890s | bernard's next in his sights |
26893s | nothing much else he has a hundred |
26895s | charge you know extremely low alfie he |
26898s | dives in with the blade there's a |
26899s | transcendence used by aim god he's just |
26902s | slashing the air right now and his mn3 |
26904s | with the sights fixes end up going down |
26907s | first for the fusion as alfie in fact |
26910s | finds a triple kill maybe a quad no not |
26912s | quite is it what he just said |
26915s | is his head set yeah and then through |
26918s | the quick 180 clears up out for yi but |
26921s | not before the spark can win that one |
26923s | yeah dave do you play do you play |
26926s | okay look well well you always get to |
26928s | see alfie try to go after the rest of |
26930s | the fusion right and so after alfie does |
26933s | get these picks on the aim gotta carpe |
26935s | tries to go up after evan three as well |
26937s | but we didn't do him too dirty right we |
26939s | didn't show him it through taking him |
26940s | out after that point that's true it did |
26942s | win them the point |
26944s | oh |
26946s | yeah i don't want to shoot that one |
26948s | not again |
26949s | not again |
26951s | i wish there was a stat for like team |
26952s | kills like the reflect kills onto your |
26954s | teammates |
26957s | friendly fire yeah friendly fire yeah |
26960s | exactly see who ends up with the most |
26961s | friendly fire damage at the end of the |
26962s | year i think oh no very silly a very |
26965s | silly stat |
26967s | all right i would like to see last |
26969s | corner now before this |
26971s | points |
26972s | shy almost hit in the head there of mn3 |
26975s | but the shield was in the way both |
26977s | fluxes are available transcendence is |
26979s | not quite there so a lamp to counter is |
26982s | going to be the plan first flux used by |
26985s | bernard akape already dies the lamp has |
26987s | been used already as fury ascends to the |
26989s | sky he's using a flux of his own gets a |
26991s | little bit of damage but that's just |
26993s | about it mm3 is completely out of the |
26995s | sight line luckily fury with a couple of |
26996s | extra spheres finishes off one but now a |
26998s | late window from the spark is going to |
27000s | push them around the corner alfie is |
27002s | already into the mix but fury takes care |
27004s | of him lamp will be coming up soon for |
27006s | the fusion so they're good to go on the |
27008s | aggression and the three kills super |
27010s | rich and that'll be the spark now with a |
27012s | minute to go on the time bank a very |
27015s | different story |
27016s | what we found uh earlier on with fusion |
27019s | they steamrolled point a and b if they |
27022s | did and i mean when you look at what the |
27024s | spark even have to be able to complete |
27026s | this second point |
27027s | you're starting to scratch your head a |
27029s | little bit |
27030s | are they gonna be able to actually do |
27031s | this with the blade there's a great |
27034s | answer on the fusion and aim god is |
27036s | surely going to get that transcendence |
27038s | online before alpha yi is able to pop |
27040s | that blade |
27042s | this is it though |
27043s | yeah |
27044s | away so it should be good it's up to shy |
27047s | to really open this one up |
27049s | sites available for mn3 ideally you |
27052s | counter sites uh in the last few moments |
27056s | you don't want to give the enemy way to |
27057s | make her an opening |
27060s | so i can imagine that's why mm3 is |
27061s | currently |
27063s | uh |
27063s | sights there they are okay only about a |
27065s | second or so |
27067s | nice rock on to fury stops him using |
27069s | that uh |
27070s | the suck |
27072s | and now it's up to the spark to really |
27074s | touch after he gets rocked again still |
27076s | has to blame his back pocket and aim god |
27077s | like you mentioned rose built up towards |
27079s | that transcendence a long time ago it |
27082s | might as well be in a different era |
27084s | flux available for fury in 10 alpha yi |
27087s | trying to find something another nice |
27089s | rocks again stops fury from doing all |
27091s | too much but he's still building up her |
27092s | for a long time on that ultimate the |
27095s | windows were a little bit ill-placed the |
27098s | aim god transcendence not even needed |
27101s | okay now he's gonna use it to stop that |
27103s | flux going off they weren't worried |
27104s | about the blade whatsoever but not going |
27106s | super low or he's gonna keep him alive |
27108s | but not quite alive enough to touch |
27112s | the fusion |
27114s | they have their way with the spark on |
27116s | circuit royale |
27118s | on the back of emin three thirteen final |
27121s | blows at the end of it all 21 a limbs |
27124s | with a disgusting amount of crits |
27128s | depends on perfusion not out of this |
27129s | series just yet rose |
27132s | maybe we're gonna it's combackable as |
27134s | awful he would say |
27137s | combackable through that a combatable |
27140s | all right the hangzhou spark still match |
27142s | point the philadelphia fusion claiming |
27144s | that map we're gonna be seeing sparks |
27146s | map choice after this break don't go |
27149s | anywhere we'll see in a second |
27160s | [Music] |
27226s | so |
27237s | [Music] |
27243s | [Music] |
27292s | [Music] |

27437s | yep welcome back |
27439s | fusion and the spark head to head |
27442s | apparently spark up two maps fusion |
27444s | looking for the reverse sweep it's |
27446s | possible very possible on what was a |
27449s | stellar performance on |
27451s | uh circuit royale we're going to |
27453s | colosseo as our next map but we're not |
27456s | seeing the same roster as we did on |
27457s | circuit royale surprise surprise fury |
27459s | stepping back then let's read back in as |
27461s | well as zest in for carpe rose |
27464s | yep i mean i feel like this is going to |
27467s | be the lineup regardless of what |
27469s | push map we went to but |
27471s | for hong sho i think they had one choice |
27474s | and it was just not new queen street |
27477s | that that's it like like they hit a |
27479s | picking map they just can't pick new |
27481s | queen street don't give mn3 |
27483s | ash sight lines |
27486s | the the because fusion will run with |
27488s | that you know they will |
27490s | oh yeah that if they have their map big |
27493s | yeah a thousand percent they're going to |
27494s | new green street that's for sure |
27496s | consider a little bit of a different |
27498s | beast i mean you can see it uh we see |
27500s | the rush here we've seen that a little |
27502s | bit already but yeah a lot more of this |
27505s | dive i can imagine just with m3 sitting |
27507s | at the back and you can still play the |
27508s | ash to be fair um but the long sight |
27512s | lines |
27513s | especially when they have dive they run |
27515s | at ya and you're gonna die you just |
27517s | gotta be careful of that |
27519s | yeah you die against the dive is that |
27521s | right you die against the dive well the |
27523s | thing is it's only like one track right |
27525s | uh with the one that's true it's true so |
27528s | you get a few good shots but |
27530s | the robot also provides like a |
27531s | substantial amount of cover when you're |
27533s | in that corridor and there's a lot less |
27536s | of uh like a a semi like a small off |
27539s | angle for the widow to find kills on the |
27541s | support it's very much just like a |
27542s | tunnel |
27543s | which is sometimes good but sometimes |
27545s | kind of bad for the ashes is a lot |
27547s | better to be fair with the dynamites so |
27550s | probably what fusion gonna |
27552s | stray towards i can imagine |
27557s | we will see yeah we're back to the |
27559s | starting lineup means we're probably not |
27560s | going to see this like double |
27562s | hit scan |
27565s | i mean more zest tracer we love zest |
27568s | tracer |
27569s | yeah sojourn tracer that's kind of what |
27571s | i'm expecting here we've seen some teams |
27574s | just really utilize these flanks with |
27577s | the tracer just so beautifully |
27580s | and especially when you have a tracer |
27581s | like zest that is going to be |
27584s | landing so many pulse bombs |
27587s | boy we we got treated on this map now |
27589s | don't we with the with the tracer pulses |
27597s | but then i was like oh yes don't spawn |
27599s | you could switch |
27600s | damn that is some |
27602s | uh i'm on normal tech unnormal abnormal |
27606s | is the correct word for that one |
27609s | it's getting a little uh-huh it's 11 p.m |
27611s | it is late it's two hi it's 2 a.m we're |
27615s | we're entering gremlin hours here on the |
27617s | east coast |
27619s | that was 20 21 for me the whole year |
27622s | welcome |
27623s | all right the hangzhou spark |
27626s | right now what they've done in the pre |
27628s | in the past i mean they just have to |
27629s | shut down m3 right uh easily yeah |
27632s | yeah |
27633s | yeah easy easy clap |
27642s | that's how you do it he was looking one |
27643s | way shy was uh looking straight at his |
27645s | back there nice engagement from bernard |
27648s | they burnt the lap super early thing is |
27650s | with the philadelphia fusion con rose |
27652s | with mn3 |
27653s | uh like i said the flange routes |
27656s | for the ash not great for the wrecking |
27658s | ball and something like that they are |
27659s | pretty good because you are so quick |
27662s | yeah i do like that we are seeing these |
27665s | wrecking balls and tracers on both teams |
27667s | playing together but with the |
27669s | differences in the sojourn for the spark |
27671s | and the ash for the fusion |
27674s | i i think fusion's gonna take a bit |
27676s | longer to set up here |
27678s | shy just has way more mobility so it's |
27680s | easier to be able to try to take better |
27682s | angles against the other team |
27685s | um look at this even bella syria just |
27687s | kind of getting bullied away fusion |
27689s | doesn't really have a choice except to |
27691s | try to play the bridge but what happened |
27693s | there |
27695s | i don't know |
27696s | i do |
27697s | i don't know what i think people die |
27701s | hey i will almost guarantee that people |
27703s | died |
27704s | i mean wow the fusion just kind of flop |
27707s | unfortunately like that's why i'm |
27709s | confused like what was that that wasn't |
27712s | the defense |
27714s | that wasn't a defense that is my |
27716s | favorite line from you ever that wasn't |
27719s | a defense what was that well it wasn't |
27722s | it's true it's very true |
27724s | well we'll see if they can make more of |
27726s | a defense on on this point oh super |
27729s | racist okay flanks |
27731s | unfortunate but shy on |
27733s | locking his hidden beast oh he's got the |
27735s | minds to recover no one can approach it |
27737s | he just has to land the headshots |
27738s | there's one can he get another they're |
27740s | on the thai corridor oh gets kicked away |
27743s | doorman zenyatta and once again bernard |
27747s | setting himself up with a dps oh someone |
27749s | wasn't moving the bot oh no someone |
27751s | stole the bot sorry i think it was zest |
27753s | who ended up stealing it okay i was |
27754s | going to say |
27755s | all right hangzhou spark on an absolute |
27758s | tear plus they've got two support on |
27759s | what's coming up |
27760s | they do i mean this is just a roll right |
27763s | now spark gonna capture this first |
27765s | objective we enter into the butt scratch |
27768s | mode just briefly but not before i feel |
27771s | like spark get a chance to gather their |
27773s | breath here if it fellas ria is getting |
27775s | bullied all right the mines come out and |
27778s | bernard's asleep at least shy ends up |
27781s | going down nice discord nice kill from |
27783s | zest |
27785s | they do end up getting the the forward |
27786s | spawn which is nice there's the supports |
27788s | holding each other's hands just walking |
27790s | away |
27791s | should be good to join the rest of their |
27792s | team that um |
27794s | they will |
27796s | end up losing that forward spawn as soon |
27798s | as that bot does enter the middle of the |
27800s | map so that's a little bit unfortunate |
27802s | but they're still 65 meters off your |
27804s | first push and you put a lot of time |
27805s | down not bad |
27808s | yeah but now we're looking at |
27809s | philadelphia just being able to do some |
27811s | stuff with this now |
27814s | he's not oh look at him go |
27816s | he kills shy oh yes i don't think that |
27818s | now we're supposed to go on the ball but |
27819s | it ended up working out the post one |
27821s | gets thrown in by alfie to find a |
27823s | semblance of this fight but nothing |
27825s | comes of it |
27827s | there you go that's what you get when |
27828s | you now know the bob an easy win i've |
27830s | got a good feeling that was supposed to |
27832s | go on mn3 north shore was supposed to go |
27834s | on bob but whatever it was cool we don't |
27836s | see a nano bob every day of the week so |
27840s | it's okay i mean bob's an omnic too |
27842s | right if you're gonna give the nano over |
27844s | to zenyatta then you know bob needs a |
27846s | little love also |
27848s | that is true just a thought |
27851s | nice 180 pulse there from set very nice |
27855s | work and then three does end up going |
27856s | down however philadelphia fusion is |
27858s | still in control of the bot edging it |
27860s | slowly forwards but a nice right click |
27864s | from shy will end the life of both |
27866s | supports 41 meters we'll call it 66 |
27871s | for the spark as the bot makes his long |
27874s | trudge back |
27876s | i feel like sojourn being able to chase |
27879s | a wrecking ball feels just |
27881s | unnatural to me |
27883s | but i mean look at these shots holy moly |
27888s | okay you know we got the chance to |
27890s | highlight like mm3's ash but i feel like |
27892s | this match has been all about shy |
27895s | the soldiers specifically just so so |
27898s | good |
27901s | so far i mean final blows he's on 11. |
27905s | the closest one to him right now is out |
27907s | for ye on two |
27909s | uh a hell of a deadlift by shy right now |
27912s | make that make that 12. |
27914s | it's all shy it's a shiny world and |
27916s | we're just living in it the spark have |
27918s | control of the bot he's on the high |
27920s | ground the 1v1 versus mn3 an easy |
27922s | cleanup make that 13. |
27925s | the philadelphia fusion as a combined |
27927s | total currently have 12 and shy has 13 |
27931s | final blows so yeah not the best they |
27934s | unlock their uh the checkpoint once |
27937s | again philadelphia fusion struggling to |
27939s | find too much however they're flying in |
27941s | the courtyard right now way |
27943s | far away from the robot alfie cleans up |
27946s | zest who i can only imagine was trying |
27948s | to find a pulse bomb kill on the back |
27951s | line |
27952s | yeah spark setting up for success on |
27954s | this final approach |
27956s | oh you're you're absolutely right there |
27958s | i mean zest didn't even get the pulse |
27960s | bomb online though but whoa bella's |
27963s | through the back line once again with |
27965s | the mines |
27966s | and he's going pretty low superintendent |
27968s | ends up dying to the pulse bomb can |
27970s | alfie turn this fight around with the |
27971s | position of his own no he cannot the bot |
27973s | is in no one's control currently but |
27976s | still the hunger spot with 100 meters on |
27978s | the board |
27980s | shai unfortunately didn't have a say in |
27982s | that fight it's still 74 rail accuracy |
27986s | right now |
27987s | that's unheard of |
27989s | that's unheard of |
27991s | like you you're lucky i feel like |
27993s | sometimes when you see a stat and you go |
27995s | 50 that's pretty good |
27998s | but so it's 74. might be some more now |
28001s | m3 goes down he's looking for blood |
28004s | almost a collapse didn't quite line up |
28006s | correctly and nano on to aim god who |
28009s | uses transcendence slayer in the support |
28011s | ultimate so to a whole new level he gets |
28013s | a little orb off but that's about it shy |
28016s | trying to find yet another kill but it |
28017s | is bernard who steals it away from him |
28019s | he's eventually shut down by bella syria |
28021s | but not before the back line of the |
28023s | philadelphia fusion |
28025s | just gets owned the spark are cleaning |
28028s | up two minutes and 50 seconds to go rose |
28031s | double support ultimate the mines the |
28033s | pulse bomb the spark almost have |
28036s | everything online for this next fight |
28038s | yeah they do i mean look at this even |
28040s | fix is going to go over to the batiste |
28042s | here just to try to |
28044s | have something some amount of utility |
28047s | the immortality field just anything |
28051s | this is going to be rough for the fusion |
28054s | pulse there's these opportunities |
28056s | straight in the small room nice |
28057s | transcendence from irony however he does |
28059s | double layer the support ultimates which |
28060s | is rather unfortunate |
28062s | now fixer is gonna die pretty quick he's |
28066s | got to get out alive to keep the rest of |
28068s | his team in the game not quite so lucky |
28069s | though as alpha he deals with the lamp |
28072s | and then fix his life the boss not |
28074s | moving but it doesn't need to as the |
28076s | spark can gain control once again zest |
28079s | chased it down after he's still got the |
28080s | recall if he really needs it look like |
28082s | ernie there was trying to touch the |
28084s | spawn and god does end up killing him |
28086s | but the spark are now pushing on forward |
28088s | yet again a couple of extra meters will |
28090s | do with two minutes left in the bank the |
28092s | fusion need to find a way back into this |
28094s | game and into the series |
28096s | look at the lead that spark have though |
28099s | you're definitely looking at this and |
28100s | saying you should might not be able to |
28102s | overcome this obstacle |
28104s | but |
28106s | what is why are these wrecking balls |
28108s | behind the team okay |
28111s | alfie oh he's got the poles the laps |
28114s | already dead and so is aim go before he |
28116s | hit the ground alfie just going crazy |
28118s | wants to at least match the kills on shy |
28120s | and he's found |
28122s | 11 final blows the boy is getting stolen |
28125s | by zest this entire time but that means |
28126s | it was just a 4v5 in the front line |
28129s | alfie determined to |
28132s | to not get deadlifted by shy he wants |
28134s | some of the glory too |
28136s | yeah he does but wow i mean philadelphia |
28138s | if you should still have their work cut |
28140s | out for them we've got a minute left |
28143s | and spark at this point are looking to |
28145s | just complete coliseum outright offagi |
28148s | could get a big pick opening things up |
28150s | with this pulse bomb |
28152s | and then you also have shai that's been |
28154s | doing absolutely nuts on this sojourn |
28157s | that overclock is going to be coming up |
28158s | post taste |
28161s | nice slab on aim god another lamp to try |
28163s | and save him and then three's now on the |
28165s | ball with three kills okay that's what |
28166s | you want to see if your fusion make that |
28169s | four in fact a fifth yes there it is a |
28171s | 5k for mn3 the team killers there but is |
28176s | the game 20 seconds to go for the fusion |
28179s | they need to make at least three perfect |
28182s | fights to take this map |
28184s | oh yeah this has got to be hero run here |
28186s | for the fusion i think they can do it |
28187s | they've got the transcendence up as long |
28189s | as nobody gets picked by alpha yi's |
28191s | pulse bomb they might be able to make it |
28193s | to this checkpoint but they cannot give |
28195s | up control of the spot |
28197s | nice control of battlefield now from |
28199s | zest aim god |
28201s | waiting around the corner to clean up |
28203s | the kill a pulse bomb almost killed zest |
28206s | that would have been embarrassing not a |
28207s | way to end the game irony is still alive |
28209s | in the spark of a good spawn position |
28211s | both support ultimates are coming up |
28212s | rather soon in fact you should use both |
28214s | of theirs to keep them in a slider |
28216s | drive-by onto fixer shy is demolishing |
28220s | the fusion right now a transcendence |
28222s | online for the spark i'm not sure |
28224s | they're gonna need even to use it to be |
28226s | on severe overtime is here it's ticking |
28228s | down and the spark 3-1 the fusion on the |
28232s | day one of the mid-season madness almost |
28235s | a deadlift by shy |
28237s | an unbelievable performance from the |
28239s | veteran |
28241s | yeah wow i mean we were looking at this |
28244s | matchup at the beginning of |
28246s | the match and just saying hey it's gonna |
28248s | be the mn3 versus shy show that's what |
28251s | we're looking at to make the biggest |
28253s | difference here is there so not many |
28255s | other differences we can look at for |
28257s | this team |
28258s | but yeah shy just completely dps stiffed |
28263s | that was |
28264s | absolutely bonkers |
28267s | that was like he was what like giga |
28270s | lifting the team up until the point that |
28272s | alfie said hello like he almost managed |
28275s | to tie the final blows of shy at the |
28277s | very end but wow what a performance from |
28280s | the spark to start off today i mean |
28283s | we |
28284s | wow honestly like you you go to a map |
28286s | like circuit royale you expect demon |
28288s | three to do extraordinarily well and he |
28289s | does widowmaker but it felt like |
28292s | spark had every single answer |
28294s | to mn3 and just the fusion as a whole |
28298s | well the desk pointed that out that |
28300s | that's what spark we're going to need is |
28302s | if they wanted to win this matchup they |
28304s | needed to be able to keep mn3 in check |
28306s | and they had so many ways to do that i |
28308s | mean you even just look at the way that |
28310s | we saw bernard play the sigma in order |
28313s | to keep that shield to be able to block |
28315s | a lot of that damage and sure yeah while |
28317s | we did end up seeing philadelphia fusion |
28319s | take circuit royale it wasn't easy |
28322s | especially when you look at that final |
28324s | point it took them so long it took them |
28326s | five and a half minutes i know |
28329s | what |
28330s | it was close |
28331s | it was very close they did manage to get |
28333s | one map in circuit real but we got to do |
28336s | the honors the player of the match who's |
28338s | it gonna be of course yeah it's shy |
28343s | his sojourn performance this series was |
28346s | immaculate |
28348s | overall to be fair he hasn't cracked |
28350s | shots on the widowmaker two you can't |
28352s | count those out |
28354s | you look great about the in uh the |
28356s | entirety of it and if they can keep up |
28357s | this performance the spark they're gonna |
28359s | go pretty far |
28360s | they absolutely can i mean it was the |
28362s | entire team that really set up shy for |
28364s | success like look bernard sets him up |
28367s | shot and knocks him down |
28370s | and the way that super rich in irony |
28372s | really helped to keep shy alive |
28375s | i mean that's just ridiculous like shai |
28378s | is able to do some really |
28381s | really crazy things yeah that's super |
28383s | super nasty |
28386s | i mean they came into this series two |
28388s | and one the this is the fusion they came |
28390s | in uh two and one overall versus the |
28392s | spark this season it's now tied up in |
28394s | the head-to-head but that was also the |
28396s | first time that sparker managed to take |
28399s | a push map off of the fusion in what |
28402s | dominating fashion too look at that |
28403s | railgunner chris at the end of that game |
28405s | gross oh this match sorry not even that |
28407s | map yeah well that map was it was at 74 |
28411s | like most of the |
28413s | colosseum like oh yeah |
28415s | almost 10 railgun kills per 10 |
28418s | 13 olymps |
28420s | per 10 |
28421s | what can't should i do not much like |
28423s | it's almost like you know how you get |
28425s | some players |
28427s | um they |
28429s | just gravitate towards a certain hero |
28431s | and it feels like the hero is built for |
28432s | that player like jonathan zen for |
28434s | example yep sojourn for shy maybe like |
28437s | it's almost the perfect hero phone |
28439s | i think so too i mean just the way that |
28441s | shy is able to use that mobility it's |
28443s | very obvious that he understands all the |
28445s | map architecture as well to be able to |
28447s | take some nice flanks and get those |
28449s | sweet angles |
28451s | huh what a treat i love the east region |
28455s | that was so cool um |
28457s | well |
28458s | we aren't done just yet we're gonna take |
28461s | a quick break we've got something spicy |
28464s | lined up straight after it we'll see in |
28466s | a bite |

28726s | yi from set from hangzhou spark |
28729s | congratulations on the win now uh 3-1 |
28732s | victory for the hangzhou spark great way |
28734s | to start off the tournament for you guys |
28737s | how did you guys get the win against the |
28738s | philadelphia fusion |
28742s | [Music] |
28754s | um |
28771s | foreign uh i think in our scrims and our |
28774s | practices uh we didn't really focus on |
28776s | our like individual uh place we focused |
28779s | more on |
28780s | our team synergy and you know just |
28782s | focusing on a certain target as a team |
28784s | or uh really attacking the backline |
28786s | together as a team and i think those |
28788s | sort of plans really uh helped us out uh |
28791s | in today's match against the |
28792s | philadelphia fusion all right uh second |
28795s | question i've asked this a lot of times |
28797s | to the western teams but to the east |
28799s | teams i actually haven't so this is my |
28801s | question to you um is there uh i mean |
28804s | today's match was another east versus |
28805s | east but in the in the matches moving |
28808s | forward i'm sure we're going to see a |
28809s | lot more east versus west so alpha is |
28811s | there a team from the west that you |
28813s | really want to beat in the tournament |
28818s | [Music] |
28824s | videos |
28838s | [Music] |
28855s | dallas fuel uh mainly because you know i |
28857s | have two friends in that team uh two um |
28860s | ex teammates uh in the dallas fuel that |
28863s | i was with uh previously so you know it |
28866s | would be nice to see them as opponents |
28868s | and it would be really nice to beat them |
28870s | in this tournament cycle all right |
28871s | alphae that is it for the interview |
28872s | thank you so much for your time and |
28874s | again big congratulations on today's win |
28883s | from |
28884s | all right thank you overly back to you |
28893s | thanks danny |
28894s | first time |
28897s | i thought that they could pull off the |
28899s | reverse sweep what happened i was so |
28901s | confident in the fusion coming into the |
28903s | day yeah |
28904s | that's i tried to warn you we did try |
28906s | and tell you that this is what it's like |
28908s | and you predicted them too i know but as |
28910s | i said i'm a veteran at this point i i'm |
28912s | used to being let down by the |
28913s | philadelphia fusion i'm just trying to |
28915s | support you know a newcomer |
28917s | can i just say something |
28919s | i don't think shy should be allowed to |
28921s | play the game anymore as a fusion fan |
28922s | that's just all i have to say yeah i |
28924s | think it's a little well you have mn3 he |
28926s | did we don't know we did have mn3 yeah |
28929s | those were some incredible bits but guys |
28932s | 3-1 at least it wasn't a 3-0 |
28935s | help me out here where did fusion go |
28938s | wrong |
28940s | don't laugh don't laugh that hard johnny |
28942s | don't laugh that hard that's a loaded |
28944s | question because |
28947s | we could get do you want to go back to |
28948s | the franchise or you know the whole |
28950s | thing or just this match well let's just |
28952s | focus here on this match |
28956s | it just it felt like they were in |
28958s | control for part of this match yeah and |
28961s | especially on this league tower |
28962s | everything was looking good it felt like |
28964s | they were they were having their moments |
28966s | and then |
28967s | for me one of the big standout things |
28969s | especially when they're playing this |
28970s | dive is bella's rear is just going walk |
28972s | about bellis rear is just existing in |
28974s | the back line of the opposition team |
28976s | which is great to have those flank |
28978s | opportunities but he didn't feel like he |
28980s | was having enough impact on the game so |
28982s | his dive alongside with zest just wasn't |
28984s | getting that sort of support and that |
28986s | sort of effectiveness and that made it |
28987s | really hard for mn3 to maneuver around |
28989s | the map and contest shai who as you said |
28992s | just went absolutely yeah so which was a |
28995s | problem here for the philadelphia fusion |
28998s | they did get it back here on circle |
28999s | royale with some great individual |
29001s | heroics from mn3 but you know they only |
29003s | just clinched out this map oh yeah and i |
29005s | believe johnny i think that you were |
29007s | actually the only one who had predicted |
29009s | spark from the predictions don't don't |
29011s | quote me on that but i think that you |
29012s | were there okay well so then you |
29014s | predicted this from the beginning so |
29016s | what made you so confident in predicting |
29018s | that uh |
29020s | bias |
29021s | [Laughter] |
29023s | uh look i haven't been invited to |
29025s | barbecue from from the heinz park but |
29026s | hopefully i will in the future uh you |
29028s | know i've heard it it's really good um |
29031s | really just though i i think that |
29034s | philadelphia fusion even though like |
29036s | they've had these amazing pop-up moments |
29038s | and like mn3's performance against seoul |
29040s | dynasty so fresh in our minds |
29042s | this is also the stage where they lost |
29045s | to the los angeles valiant |
29048s | this is also the stage where they lost |
29050s | to the chengdu hunters |
29051s | i do think that the beat's going to |
29053s | charge just from top of my head but like |
29054s | nice one they've been inconsistent like |
29057s | they have lost to some of these weaker |
29059s | teams and so yeah they had a great win |
29062s | against the seoul dynasty but it was |
29064s | also like double push week um and |
29066s | they're you know they're good at push we |
29068s | already we heard how you know you don't |
29070s | want to play them on new queen street |
29071s | because they're so good on that map so |
29073s | you know to be fair they did win control |
29074s | here and they looked really good on |
29075s | control as well |
29077s | as wrecking ball for example the way |
29078s | they played around i thought it was |
29079s | really good but overall i do think that |
29081s | thanks for spark they've looked the |
29082s | better team the times and they've been |
29084s | more consistent when they play they play |
29086s | around shy's ash their parents chase |
29088s | sojourn they like to slow things down |
29090s | the hangzhou spark and i think in |
29092s | general they have a pretty good game we |
29093s | haven't even mentioned alfie's tracer |
29095s | yeah phenomenal so far like this damage |
29098s | pairing from hydro sparks so far this |
29099s | tournament |
29100s | impeccable so the hunger spark they came |
29102s | out firing they lost leader and tower |
29105s | but besides from that that they're gonna |
29107s | be a tough opponent from whoever decides |
29109s | that they want to play him yeah i i |
29111s | would like to go back to a thing i will |
29113s | actually say out loud now that i think |
29116s | shai is the best hits game in the world |
29117s | right now and i want to add to that of |
29119s | the idea that you have to add |
29120s | flexibility into that as well his |
29122s | ability to go over and play some of |
29123s | these other heroes the tracer the echo |
29126s | on top of his performance to be able to |
29127s | play the widowmaker against the best in |
29128s | the world his sojourn looks to be one of |
29130s | the best in the world his accuracy is |
29132s | bonkers like i genuinely think he has |
29134s | that carry potential if the team around |
29136s | him can play well i think we would see |
29138s | better performances and more people |
29140s | would agree overall but i think his gets |
29143s | sort of overlooked to players that are |
29145s | on better teams like lip like arms and |
29147s | stuff like that |
29148s | lots of uh you know |
29151s | faith in the spark as they move on to |
29153s | the rest of the tournament but because |
29155s | i'm gonna need you to help me and the |
29157s | other fellow fusion fans out there right |
29160s | now they're dropping into the losers |
29161s | bracket that we're gonna see later on in |
29163s | this week what do they gotta change to |
29166s | make this comebackable victory for the |
29169s | tournament come backable's not a thing |
29172s | it's not a thing um |
29176s | i think philadelphia fusion like they |
29178s | have those individual piles through the |
29180s | law bracket especially in those first |
29181s | couple of rounds i think that will get |
29183s | them across the line for me like they |
29184s | have those players like mn3 they have |
29187s | zest they are good individually and that |
29189s | will probably work against you know some |
29191s | of the teams that we saw lose today but |
29193s | i think overall is |
29195s | when they move further in it's going to |
29196s | be more difficult they need to have more |
29198s | team coordination more chemistry and not |
29200s | just rely on m 3 to kill everyone time |
29202s | and time again definitely well with that |
29204s | victory hong show spark are going to be |
29206s | moving on to tomorrow and for everyone |
29209s | who is waiting to find out who's going |
29211s | to play who because as we know the top |
29213s | four seated teams are going to be able |
29214s | to choose their opponents from the four |
29216s | victorious teams today we will have that |
29218s | bracket for you shortly not just yet |
29221s | but shortly in this uh post show and i |
29225s | just want to point out can we call this |
29226s | watch point after dark this is 100 it is |
29229s | very dark outside like |
29232s | [Laughter] |
29236s | to show that it was dark but uh you know |
29238s | i'm trying but listen we're gonna move |
29240s | on to our next thing which is uh best of |
29242s | the day and guys |
29244s | i know that it's my first time joining |
29246s | you yeah so i'm gonna go first and i'm |
29249s | just gonna say that you know i came in |
29251s | to the show today i came out swinging |
29253s | for fusion all right did they come out |
29254s | swinging for me |
29256s | in the series no but in game one yes in |
29259s | game one we got an amazing oh wait |
29262s | where's this do we have all the |
29263s | predictions right there yeah oh yeah |
29264s | those are all of our predictions mm-hmm |
29266s | for the day is this your rest of the day |
29268s | this is my best event you're just going |
29270s | to glory |
29271s | [Music] |
29272s | predictions i |
29274s | selected the spitfire i thought it was |
29276s | going to be the spitfire and guess what |
29277s | happened why didn't you think it was |
29278s | going to be this goodbye it didn't even |
29280s | come down to analysis or anything it was |
29282s | just because you went to a barbecue yeah |
29284s | robin invited me to his barbecue |
29287s | this was going to be the fusion winning |
29289s | yeah originally and this was your backup |
29291s | point |
29296s | would have been everyone but me |
29298s | predicting the fusion this is my actual |
29301s | pesticide |
29303s | it's my actual one i'll show it to you |
29305s | right now |
29306s | uh or yeah this one right here oh okay |
29309s | all right |
29310s | all right fair enough okay |
29312s | saved all right come out and bump them |
29315s | with the wrecking ball um listen we we |
29318s | both came out swinging again maybe not |
29320s | in the series but i do want to call out |
29322s | you know my amazing prediction that was |
29324s | almost flawless almost |
29327s | until it wasn't it was almost flawless |
29330s | we were so so close but i don't think |
29333s | you could top my best of the day but |
29335s | what do you got for it well mine's a lot |
29337s | more nuanced because this is not |
29339s | anything you probably would have seen i |
29340s | like saw this out of the corner of my |
29342s | eye when i saw the game and this |
29343s | probably isn't even finale meaning to do |
29344s | this but it's an interesting individual |
29347s | play and it's protect the bomb it feels |
29349s | like we always get bob to protect us but |
29351s | we never protect bob so we're going to |
29352s | have the bob from heisu get booped by |
29355s | lee jaegon with a great boot into a |
29357s | corner where he can't be that effective |
29358s | lee jaegon wants to poop it again but |
29360s | finale guess says get down mr president |
29363s | he puts his body in front of the line of |
29365s | bob so he stays shooting and being |
29367s | effective so finale takes that |
29369s | on top of that he protects him once |
29371s | again the third whip shot that legion |
29373s | gone tries to throw he gets postponed by |
29375s | finale so finale is the hero of bob in |
29377s | my eyes and i respect that because you |
29380s | know |
29381s | we we sometimes throw him off the edge |
29383s | we sometimes leave him to die we |
29384s | sometimes put him in useful spaces but |
29386s | finale respects bob and i appreciate |
29388s | that it's good to have a little bit of |
29390s | respect for bob at the end of the day |
29391s | especially when as you've said so many |
29393s | people just |
29394s | aren't giving him the boy throwing him |
29396s | away like he's nothing not cool we've |
29399s | seen him do multiple great plays just |
29401s | today but johnny for you can you match |
29404s | up to bob |
29405s | i've got someone getting punches of |
29407s | traffic |
29408s | this is so cool i mean just brutality |
29412s | let's find us doomfist and they're just |
29414s | going to smack him he's asleep look he's |
29417s | asleep there's a sleepy it's like oh i |
29419s | woke up time to pump some through them |
29420s | boom |
29422s | boom it just drained into a dropping |
29424s | okay |
29425s | he just woke up that's somebody else for |
29426s | breakfast oh my should have used your |
29429s | blinker oh |
29430s | god get out of here get out of here i |
29434s | love to see it that that's that's that's |
29436s | amazing just like i just love how it |
29438s | just pops up and it's like i'm asleep |
29440s | i'm awake |
29442s | i don't know |
29444s | straight into oncoming traffic i love |
29447s | that should have used your blinker yeah |
29448s | that's super cute |
29449s | uh but all right those were all of our |
29451s | best plays of the day so now all that's |
29453s | left to do is to take a look at the |
29455s | bracket that we have after today's |
29458s | result so let's go ahead and take a look |
29461s | and see who has selected |
29464s | would you look at that san francisco |
29466s | shock picking the london spitfire then |
29470s | we are going to see the los angeles |
29472s | gladiators choosing houston outlaws |
29475s | seoul dynasty selecting |
29477s | bart that's interesting and then last |
29480s | but certainly not least dallas shanghai |
29482s | getting stuck with shanghai |
29486s | uh battle right there oh wow quick |
29488s | thoughts okay |
29490s | okay |
29491s | where do you want to start okay |
29493s | well i want to start with the first pick |
29494s | let's start with san francisco shock |
29496s | they're choosing the london spitfire |
29497s | this makes sense they these teams make |
29499s | sense recently in the last couple of |
29500s | weeks and shock dominated them they're |
29502s | so great just confident in the match-up |
29504s | right there yeah and i mean then you |
29506s | have the leg ladders playing the houston |
29507s | outlaws which gladiators did dominate |
29509s | the houston outlaws but there was also a |
29511s | couple of c9s |
29514s | something of involved pillow and sold |
29515s | picking hank joe which they already know |
29517s | and then dallas feel saying i just hold |
29519s | on there just i'm sorry i just got all |
29521s | the matches but i'm i'm really just so |
29523s | happy by the way that shock uh you know |
29525s | western team picked the western team |
29526s | that gladiators i was in the peter |
29528s | weston team and that is seoul an eastern |
29530s | team picks an eastern team like |
29532s | great good job yeah you know what i |
29534s | think you want to know |
29536s | about this whole thing |
29538s | i want to know what you think dallas |
29539s | fuel versus san francisco shock we are a |
29542s | like a year later to what we did last |
29544s | year but they're both kind of playing |
29546s | the similar comps to what they did last |
29547s | year dallas fuel is playing that lucio |
29549s | mora winston they are running it down |
29550s | and the shanghai dragons are playing |
29552s | wrecking balls then yeah so it's |
29553s | literally the repeat of last year just a |
29555s | year later in hawaii once again |
29558s | we're pointing at each other like we |
29559s | know yeah we're pointing at each other |
29561s | like we yeah tomorrow's gonna be a very |
29564s | fun day i mean today we already had like |
29566s | amazing matches back to back to back to |
29569s | back we had a three one two three o's |
29571s | and then another three one sure yeah |
29574s | i don't know i love the attitude that |

29580s | the matches was in this final series all |
29582s | of us were screaming wow yeah johnny |

29587s | obviously saying it's not fair that shy |
29589s | exists |
29591s | it was all over the place it's not fair |
29593s | at all there were a lot of like angry |
29595s | sentiment and words just being chucked |
