829s	look we have here we got unknown in

835s	the venue hate
837s	um first of all I'm just really jealous
839s	because I'm not there honestly but uh
840s	yeah can you just tell us what the what
842s	the vibe is like over there it's the
843s	final day of the mid-season Madness
845s	Tournament how's it like being over
846s	there
848s	hey Danny uh so here gonna we as you can
853s	see we're getting final preparations
855s	done
856s	slowly coming in a lot of them a lot of
859s	the professional players are also here
860s	so a lot of like good land Vibes this is
864s	like for me personally this is what you
866s	come here uh this is what makes you uh
869s	you know feel that you work in Esports
871s	uh the it's the atmosphere is hook right
874s	now I wish you were here as well
876s	I wish I was up but it's fine uh we're
878s	I'm I'm feeding off the energy that
880s	you're getting also from from the screen
882s	I'm getting it right now uh I also want
885s	to ask I mean from the last two days
887s	like I saw the crowd that was packed do
889s	you know by any chance if uh which team
892s	had the most fans at the venue
895s	oh well I don't want to play favorites I
898s	don't want to upset a lot other people
899s	but I think definitely the home fans
902s	Soul infernal had a lot of real fans
906s	um I think Boston Uprising also had a
908s	lot of fans they uh they had a fan
910s	meeting
911s	with the line that lasted about two
914s	hours I think even after the entire show
916s	uh but and overall there were a lot of
919s	people
920s	um a lot of fans supporting all the
922s	teams I think it was just more of a
924s	OverWatch League fan
926s	um more like a festive uh event rather
929s	than just reading on one team oh no
931s	thank you so much hey good luck today
933s	you've been killing it one final day
935s	good luck thank you so much
938s	thank you bye-bye
941s	one million dollars up for grabs final
944s	day of the mid-season Madness Tournament
945s	let's go
947s	[Music]
953s	Madness
954s	[Music]
968s	welcome one and all to watch Point
971s	mid-season Madness will conclude today
974s	we have two more matches to go and we're
976s	here to tell you all about it about the
979s	matches about everything you wanted to
981s	know and some more as well we of course
983s	have the big brains in the OverWatch
985s	scene with us today Danny starting on
989s	this side Jonathan Larson Jake line and
992s	Danny I thought just for confusion's
994s	sake you're going to start on the other
995s	side guys we're ready for this are we
998s	not ready for this I think we're always
999s	ready incredible OverWatch over the past
1002s	two days and I think we're in for a
1005s	treat again today as we have two more
1007s	matches as I said we of course have the
1008s	grand finals but first we need to
1010s	determine who is going to meet the
1011s	Atlanta Reign there and play that for
1013s	all the marbles there is one more
1015s	actually than one thousand one million
1017s	US Dollars on the line distributed as
1020s	you can see on your screens right now so
1023s	it's a lot of money uh currently of
1026s	course the soul infernal the Hong Kong
1028s	as well as the Boston Uprising already
1030s	figured out how much pocket money they
1033s	can walk home with and let's see who is
1036s	still alive because yesterday we had to
1038s	say goodbye to three of our six teams
1041s	the first to go was the sole infernal uh
1043s	it was a real Heartbreaker of course in
1045s	front of their home crowd after that
1047s	hangso spark went went down against an
1049s	explosive looking bus nap Rising who
1052s	unfortunately could not continue their
1054s	lower bracket run Mayhem make quick work
1056s	of them and kept themselves in the
1058s	running for a shot at the mid-season
1060s	Madness mad Labs title nice nice I'm
1063s	gonna run with it until it becomes an
1065s	actual thing yeah so they need all your
1067s	energy in fact all the teams need your
1069s	support and what better way to show your
1071s	support and undying love for them than
1073s	with a team jersey they're up to 20
1075s	percent off on our website right now so
1077s	head on over to
1079s	shop.org.com and grab yours now I think
1083s	we had some certified bangers as already
1085s	said in the last two days um there's
1088s	definitely more to come so make sure to
1090s	let us know your hot takes everything
1092s	you feel like we should know use the
1094s	hashtag al2023 and you might be ending
1097s	up on a big screen you certainly are
1099s	entertaining US during the breaks when
1100s	we get to see the Twitter board
1103s	yeah we read it we read all of it we're
1106s	also charging you profile pictures just
1107s	so you're true
1114s	out there social media we've seen some
1117s	we've seen some crazy ones also the
1119s	names so far we also judged the name
1120s	yeah the handles if you if you're trying
1122s	to sneak something in we we see don't
1125s	try any funny business now but some some
1127s	snuck in there so congratulations you
1129s	made it but no more no more of that no
1132s	more of that uh now of course uh it's
1134s	been a fantastic two days so far uh
1136s	already the mid-season map is tournament
1138s	uh the journey was arduous and to catch
1141s	you up on some highlight matches in case
1143s	you missed it we want to call out our
1145s	APAC teams are no longer alive in a
1148s	bracket but they gave us some of the
1149s	best matches and both of them were
1152s	against the Florida Mayhem so let's talk
1154s	about it
1156s	ah ah feels good feels good take it in
1159s	feels good
1161s	come on now the better division okay
1163s	Jake obviously doesn't want to do uh
1166s	give them the proper hype they deserve
1168s	the honcho spark they came into this one
1170s	taking down some of the toughest
1171s	companies charge for example uh they
1174s	reverse what they're going to a charge
1176s	and honestly they looked lethal with
1178s	this Winston Tracer Sombra competition
1179s	they beat Florida name in their Opening
1181s	match we all predicted to Florida we all
1183s	thought the Florida was going to win the
1184s	series but thanks to a spark they had
1186s	other ideas so great execution when it
1189s	comes to the dive composition functional
1190s	spark but Soul Inferno I mean they at
1193s	least gave for the man around for their
1194s	money you know I was impressed I gotta
1195s	admit by some inferno's willingness to
1197s	play Rush comps into Florida man who
1199s	looked like one of the stronger Rush
1201s	oriented teams in the west so respect to
1203s	Sol Inferno for having that
1204s	compositional versatility but alas they
1207s	couldn't get it done in map five it
1210s	really was if you missed it that ilios
1211s	map 5 between Florida and Seoul really
1213s	was all about those you know n a
1215s	compositions right the more recurico
1217s	came out
1218s	um some some Anna break or Mantra with
1220s	merits Widow came out for Florida and
1222s	you know with those Innovative comps
1223s	Florida was able to take the series and
1225s	really at the end when I looked so close
1226s	that was when Seoul fell flat and just
1228s	got they looked like they got
1229s	outstranded by Florida
1231s	outstandard and well based on what we've
1233s	seen from the Florida Mayhem thus far in
1236s	the lower bracket run how does that vote
1238s	for the team in their match today
1239s	well I think it is good but you're going
1242s	up against the Houston Outlaws who are I
1244s	think no not scared whatsoever of these
1246s	like off meta kit picks or different
1248s	comps that might come out so I think for
1250s	the Florida Mayhem I don't think you're
1252s	going to be able to win this one in the
1254s	same way I think you need to win you
1256s	know really on the fundamentals you have
1258s	to be able to take it to them in that
1260s	summer Tracer mirror I do think Florida
1261s	is a strong team I think they absolutely
1263s	can be a threat I don't think the
1265s	Houston Outlaws can take them lightly or
1266s	expect this to be an easy win but I do
1269s	think this is kind of Houston's series
1271s	to lose if you think about both these
1272s	teams the range of their performances we
1274s	need to see Florida at their best and
1276s	honestly we need to see Houston
1277s	slouching a little bit slowing things
1279s	down I think for Florida to expect to
1281s	get the win if you take a look at the
1283s	Tracer stats Checkmate versus happy
1285s	happy has been a standout on the Tracer
1287s	and going into this tournament I don't
1288s	think we expect it happy to be you know
1290s	a top three Tracer but you can see the
1292s	numbers versus the Checkmate so far in
1294s	the mid-season Madness 8.1 final blows
1296s	to Checkmate 7.5 pretty big discrepancy
1299s	in the hero Damage Done honestly but the
1301s	rest is about even so this is going to
1303s	be a matchup we have to look out for
1304s	here today Florida Miami as you said
1306s	Jake I do think they're you know the
1308s	underdog in this series so we'll see if
1310s	they come out and they try to match the
1311s	sambar Tracer certainly they have the
1313s	aggression you know someone he is so
1315s	vocal always in the communication from
1317s	someone wanting to dive in and maybe
1319s	that can rally Checkmate and Merit
1321s	really follow up on that and maybe an
1323s	aggressive dive could be what works for
1324s	Florida man but Houston Outlaws they
1327s	have the edge in that mountain
1328s	right on well let's talk a little bit
1330s	about those two teams because while the
1332s	Mayhem are still alive in this and they
1335s	do have two more opponents that need to
1337s	take down and those are the two
1339s	juggernauts really currently we have in
1342s	the league of course I'm talking about
1343s	the Atlanta Reign and the Houston
1344s	Outlaws first up it's going to be the
1346s	Houston Outlaws where to even begin and
1349s	no I do not want to begin with you Jake
1351s	actually I want to hear it from you uh
1353s	yes I want you to tell us what makes
1356s	Houston such a good team right now so
1359s	what I really love about Houston Outlaws
1361s	is I think they're really good when it
1363s	comes to reactive gameplay they see what
1365s	the opponent is doing and then they
1366s	react based on that information based on
1368s	those abilities and then they win the
1370s	fights that way someone who is pivotal
1372s	for this team is violet the Brigitte for
1374s	this team I think that the way he keeps
1376s	is support your shoe alive on the honor
1378s	for example we take a look at the stats
1380s	he is top two in most of these
1382s	categories which you won the Atlanta
1383s	terrain being number one in most of them
1385s	but something like rally armor
1387s	efficiency for example violet leads that
1389s	category so whenever Violet pops the
1392s	rally he gets the most efficiency out of
1394s	it out of all the Briggs this entire
1396s	tournament sames goes for the inspired
1398s	uptime percent 37 that leads to this
1401s	tournament as well so Violet his brigite
1403s	is going to be pivotal dare I say I
1405s	think Violet is under more pressure than
1408s	chiowit because of Atlanta Reigns
1410s	aggressive instincts you know lip is in
1412s	the back line stalkers in the back line
1414s	don't get goes aggressive so it puts so
1416s	much pressure on Violet on the brake to
1418s	play well and not commit any mistakes
1420s	and so far I think about it has been a
1422s	spectacular job and it's part of why
1424s	Houston outposts went to my fire against
1425s	yesterday yeah I mean yesterday that
1428s	might have been the best performance
1430s	we've seen from any team out there
1431s	really against the Atlanta Reign uh but
1434s	let's focus on the Atlanta rain here
1436s	what makes them such a juggernaut why do
1437s	they look so untouchable so we've talked
1440s	a lot about Atlanta Reigns teamwork we
1441s	talked a lot about their backline about
1442s	how solid they are as a unit but I want
1445s	to kind of throw all that to the side
1446s	for a moment and just talk about one
1448s	individual player which is stalker I
1450s	don't think it's an exaggeration to call
1451s	Stalker the best Tracer in the world
1452s	right now many have tried to hold on to
1455s	that title and it proves to be very
1457s	difficult to maintain for a long period
1459s	but I think stalker has a very strong
1461s	case for being on top right now just an
1464s	insanely strong player for me what makes
1466s	him so different is not actually the
1468s	pulse bombs which I've highlighted as a
1469s	crucial ultimate in this comp but it's
1471s	when he doesn't have old he he still
1473s	makes Incredible Clips it's like his
1475s	damage is really unparalleled regardless
1478s	of having the pulse bomb he's one of
1480s	those few players who is like
1481s	consistently taking down Briggs and anas
1484s	even without the pulse bomb I mean he's
1485s	such a scary individual threat that I
1488s	think he's a huge part of the success in
1490s	this met I think the Tracer somber meta
1491s	really favors them and we came into the
1493s	season singing Lips Praises which which
1495s	is totally fair but stalker for me he's
1497s	you know to have number one on on both
1499s	DPS roles is a little bit absurd right
1501s	now for the Atlanta Reign and I think
1502s	ultimately that's kind of what's making
1504s	them look so strong their DPS are Just
1506s	Deadly so filter and chill you just stay
1508s	alive you're gonna win like stalker will
1510s	out produce almost every other player in
1512s	the Tracer role yeah it's it's a scary
1514s	Prospect uh Florida Mayhem definitely
1516s	have their work cut out for them and
1518s	then some Florida Miami have to go up
1520s	against a huge not lost forest and of
1522s	course as I said the Atlanta Reign are
1523s	waiting in the finals for either of
1526s	those two teams and while I'm sure they
1528s	give us a show well
1530s	um I felt like we need a little more
1531s	Flair like yeah they popping off on the
1534s	service that's awesome love those teams
1536s	big stars great lineups but I think like
1539s	we can even improve on that so uh for
1542s	the finale in Seoul Korea we decided
1544s	that we here in beautiful Burbank
1548s	K-pop band with the players we have in
1551s	the mid-season Madness
1553s	exactly that the Hub of K-pop Burbank uh
1557s	so Danny and I will be the judge and we
1559s	have two teams it's going to be a
1560s	Jonathan and Jake going up against them
1562s	hey Ricky Kitty both of you will make
1566s	your own K-pop band and then we too
1569s	decide who's gonna K-pop off
1572s	okay that was funny wow that's a good
1576s	one I mean anything you want but there's
1578s	there's no rule like judge with your
1580s	heart cool well then I mean Vicky Kitty
1582s	and necromance that's correct
1587s	ladies hello hello all right so we put a
1591s	lot of thought into this because we have
1592s	to make sure that we have to be one of
1594s	the most competitive people on the desk
1596s	obviously Jake and Johnny guys I'm sorry
1598s	but we have to actually strategize over
1600s	here and we have a lot of ideas necro oh
1603s	we have I mean first off you gotta start
1606s	with the obvious like K-pop Star the
1609s	pink hair
1610s	pink hair everything no it has to be
1613s	thick so no they like they took fixer
1618s	I mean well you know what both move
1622s	later but yeah I'll try it again you put
1626s	it on the head
1636s	all right let's see if we can find it
1639s	because we have to navigate through here
1640s	you know say it's a little complicated
1642s	it kind of looks like figuring it out a
1644s	lot of time went into this second yeah
1645s	we strategize over here you could tell
1648s	actually I can't imagine taking these
1650s	desks you guys know right all right I
1653s	may not got the moves but we know
1654s	somebody who's got the moves and It's
1656s	gotta be
1660s	we need a handicap Johnny we gotta make
1663s	this close
1664s	they just get to pick all their five
1665s	firsts
1666s	well we have we have I mean you're gonna
1669s	overlap if you want but then you're kind
1671s	of cheating and copying us yes it just
1674s	looks a little pathetic if you pick the
1675s	same one yeah
1678s	for my homework too you know so listen
1680s	right
1684s	the person in the middle like the the
1686s	one the only the one bringing the heat
1689s	yeah no no no
1692s	no
1693s	no you know what Johnny we knew a lot of
1694s	these would go in the first round oh
1695s	what do you mean first round this is all
1698s	the first five rounds yeah they get
1699s	first five and we get the next five oh
1701s	my they're picking all the best this
1703s	isn't a snake draft there's a lot of
1705s	guys I like this I like what I'm looking
1706s	at okay okay
1710s	we had to strategize this all right
1712s	don't you dare
1713s	why is it because he's taller than you
1717s	oh that that is just slander yes we got
1720s	it we have to happen we have to do it
1722s	stand out yeah we need the tall dark and
1724s	handsome one yeah exactly that's
1726s	definitely lip that's
1728s	he's not that tall we can do better he
1730s	actually he probably is taller than
1734s	you do I don't know but his personality
1736s	is way bigger
1737s	one more
1739s	one more okay we still have one
1746s	one month we have so many ideas I know
1748s	I'm telling you we put a lot of work
1750s	into this
1751s	um I actually don't remember I mean it's
1753s	hard to pick there's some really good
1755s	players
1757s	we did talk about style and that that
1760s	has to be gooshway so
1763s	um
1764s	that's the random card that will get to
1767s	you guys a little edgy right like a
1769s	little little edgy we can beat this
1770s	Johnny no problem yeah we can beat this
1772s	I don't know about that this is so
1774s	pretty because it's got a lot of our
1775s	ideas all right but
1799s	we've got to bring the ladies to the
1800s	shows we've got to keep them interested

2507s	well Welcome to our life indeed here is
2511s	where it's all going down we're about to
2514s	witness the loser bracket final battled
2517s	out between the Florida Mayhem and the
2520s	Houston Outlaws and the winner will
2523s	advance into our grand finals at
2525s	Face-Off against the Juggernaut the end
2528s	boss the ultimate villain it is the
2531s	Atlanta Reign tough opponents ahead of
2534s	the Florida Mayhem who were definitely
2536s	considered the underdog in this entire
2539s	anime script at this point but how far
2543s	can they take it we'll find out soon
2544s	americhek made someone shurong and
2547s	RuPaul will give it their all as they
2549s	face off against the Houston Outlaws the
2553s	scary Squad front to back it's gonna be
2556s	a really really really uphill battle a
2559s	really big uphill battle for the Florida
2561s	meme so let's discuss here how they can
2564s	get it done what was the best look from
2566s	the Florida May him what do you think
2567s	they should be relying on today look I
2570s	think at the end of the day we can talk
2571s	a lot about these brawl compositions
2573s	we've seen so far but it becomes clear
2575s	that the most important composition is
2577s	going to be the Winston Tracer and the
2579s	Sombra composition now as you can see
2582s	right now in your screen Florida Miami
2583s	they have shown different kind of
2585s	variations of this composition like
2586s	right here someone is playing the Ramada
2588s	instead it gives you the same kind of
2590s	like engagement tools about swapping out
2592s	for the remotra instead you sort of make
2595s	it more difficult for the opponent team
2596s	to get out you can get punished as to
2598s	Winston by playing this from other
2599s	composition instead we can maybe see
2602s	them pick shambali Monastery for example
2604s	Havana go to these kind of escort maps
2606s	and force this broad composition but I
2608s	think the most important composition
2610s	overall for the Florida Miami will be
2613s	the Winston Tracer Sombra drive because
2614s	it just seems to be the pivotal
2616s	composition Jake when we only have three
2618s	teams remaining yeah I agree at this at
2620s	this level right trying to win the whole
2622s	thing really for all these three teams
2623s	still alive you're gonna need to be able
2625s	to win on that comp I do think though
2626s	for Florida they are when it comes to
2627s	their map picks they should be taking us
2629s	to rush Maps I think they have a much
2630s	better hope there however I'm a little
2632s	bit worried because I think the Houston
2633s	Outlaws is one of the better brawl teams
2635s	and I think it all starts in the support
2637s	line I think Shu and violet have looked
2639s	like some of the best supports in the
2641s	league and I think while while chew and
2642s	fielder might be a step above on like
2644s	the honor break comp I think when you
2646s	bring out Baptiste and kiriko into the
2648s	into the mix I think I take shoe and
2650s	violet when we bring out those comps
2651s	right a little bit more individual
2652s	aiming fragging power on the supports
2655s	that's where shoe of I looked terrifying
2657s	and I think
2658s	for Florida to win this match it has to
2661s	all start with chorang and RuPaul we've
2663s	talked about them both as really really
2664s	strong players this season I think
2666s	trailbox Brigg has looked really
2667s	Immaculate at times RuPaul has made big
2669s	plays but by the same token we've seen
2671s	teams pick apart Florida Mayhem starting
2674s	from the support line right in that
2675s	Lucio morric comp it was the Lucio and
2677s	Murray going down first all the time and
2679s	I think that's the type of pressure that
2680s	Houston should be putting on Florida
2681s	don't let those supports play the game
2683s	you know leverage your backlines
2685s	advantage by punishing the enemy
2686s	supports first
2688s	well for looking at a few snow
2691s	I'm a more in depth do you guys feel
2693s	like they really showed a big crack in
2695s	their armor is there anything obvious
2697s	that the Florida Mayhem could be
2699s	focusing on here no I kind of don't
2701s	honestly I think yesterday between the
2703s	Houston Outlaws and Atlanta Reign it was
2705s	just a battle between two spectacular
2708s	teams playing top tier OverWatch like it
2710s	minimally called mistakes for either of
2713s	these teams I do think that the Houston
2714s	Outlaws they have shown that they're not
2716s	quite as willing to be you know take
2719s	initiative compared to the Atlanta Reign
2721s	the Atlanta rain are just like
2722s	ruthlessly aggressive like lip and
2724s	stalker is going to be in your backline
2726s	at all times Houston Outlaws they play
2728s	spacing a little bit more a bit more
2730s	Fearless Common Sense Winston just plays
2733s	space expertly so that means that
2735s	they're just really well-rounded
2736s	reactively or initiatively I think the
2739s	Houston Outlaws are going to be really
2740s	good I don't think there's a weakness
2742s	here that the Florida man can expose I
2744s	think you just have to commit to this
2745s	one hoping to play your best game and
2747s	maybe just play to your own strengths of
2749s	what you're comfortable playing yeah so
2751s	let's uh take a look at our predictions
2752s	for this one uh I think uh it should be
2755s	used now laws across the board here they
2757s	have to be considered the favorite and
2758s	for good reason if the match against the
2761s	Atlanta Reign yesterday is any indicator
2763s	of what's to come then this is going to
2765s	be a top one for the Florida Mayhem huge
2768s	stat loss they will take advantage of
2771s	every small mistake you're making and
2773s	the Mayhem has shown a lot more mistakes
2775s	than the Outlaws they did but you got
2777s	you're forgetting that you know
2778s	afternoon to hongs or sport they clawed
2781s	away all the way up to the top three
2783s	right yesterday
2791s	[Applause]
2795s	I doubted you guys yesterday but today
2798s	let's go oh no honestly I respected
2801s	Danny I do think the Florida Mayhem
2803s	could be a team to throw wrench in the
2805s	works but I just don't know if the use
2806s	and outlaws of the team that's going to
2807s	fall victim to that I think playing
2809s	these Rush compositions you let you let
2811s	Pelican either take the mirror on the
2812s	May or you let him bring out the echo
2814s	you're letting uh Violet and chew
2816s	potentially play double Flex sport
2817s	you're kind of opening yourself up to
2819s	some very scary compositions if you step
2821s	away from the dive and if you take the
2822s	dive mirror I think Houston wins so I've
2824s	got them all day here I think I
2826s	proclaimed enough in this pre-show that
2828s	I'm all about the Houston Outlaws I
2829s	think their favorite in this one and I
2830s	can't wait to watch Houston versus
2831s	Atlanta
2832s	right on neither can we Danny I respect
2835s	you I love you and you you got this
2838s	maybe
2839s	but you know what I
2842s	I love it though like you you're coming
2843s	in with an aggressive pick and if that
2845s	pans out you're gonna look like a genius
2846s	speaking of geniuses we got two on
2848s	standby to bring you all the action for
2850s	the loser bracket final it is of course
2852s	necra and Vicky hey guys all right I
2856s	just gotta give a shout out to Danny
2858s	because he's got more faith than I do
2861s	you remember yeah exactly that's what
2865s	I'm saying no no I'm not for Florida I'm
2867s	from Florida and I'm not for Florida
2869s	I mean look I don't know what it is
2872s	about Florida and having these really
2874s	tight situations but they really love
2876s	living on the edge
2878s	um I really want to see this team
2880s	succeed but the Houston Outlaws looked
2882s	so good Necker yesterday and of course
2884s	we've seen these two teams Fair off
2885s	against each other before yes we have so
2887s	like the last time that the Florida
2888s	Mayhem and the Houston Outlaws played
2890s	against each other was during the
2891s	regular season it did go to Five Maps so
2894s	maybe there's a little bit of hope for
2895s	us to be able to get a great close
2898s	series on our hands but I feel like
2899s	since we ended up seeing them in the
2901s	regular season both teams have really
2903s	leveled up maybe Florida Mayhem getting
2905s	a little dizzy with the compositions
2907s	that they're running but Houston Outlaws
2909s	looked at the top of their game during
2911s	the tournament so far yeah it goes down
2913s	to what Jake was saying earlier can the
2914s	ram comp really come through for the
2915s	floor and Mayhem Houston Outlaws though
2917s	in terms of consistency and fundies this
2919s	team's really got it we saw some of the
2921s	best OverWatch being played yesterday
2923s	between the Outlaws and the Atlanta
2924s	Marine now as we get started for our
2926s	first series necra it's been a wild
2929s	Journey so far this weekend but here we
2931s	are in the lower bracket finals already
2933s	and we've heard it from the desk the
2936s	journey that the Florida ma'am have had
2937s	since the very beginning losing to Hanjo
2940s	spark and now here they are they clawed
2942s	their way through that bracket we are
2944s	starting things off on Antarctic
2945s	Peninsula I mean the lower bracket Run
2947s	for the Florida Mayhem has been
2948s	absolutely insane and that speaks to the
2951s	volume of just how good these players
2953s	are at really being able to clutch up
2955s	when the situation actually counts and
2957s	you know coming off of the win at the
2960s	Pro-Am you ended up seeing them have a
2962s	great start to the season as well but
2963s	they're looking to close out the first
2965s	half very strong here Against The
2967s	Outlaws though that I mean they're
2970s	coming through from the upper bracket
2972s	I'm I'm a little nervous yeah a little
2974s	nervous here for Florida I mean the
2976s	thing is Houston almost again they just
2978s	look so good this is the reason why this
2980s	team is one of the top two teams in the
2982s	west and also displaying like here in
2983s	the mid-season Madness the performance
2985s	that they had against the Atlanta rain
2986s	was amazing but also the capability of
2988s	adapting which is what I'm worried about
2990s	when it comes to this series as we get
2992s	started you see the crowd going crazy we
2994s	saw some cosplay in the crowd as well
2996s	you'd love to see the energy from our
2998s	Korean audience it really doesn't get
3001s	any better than this it really doesn't
3002s	and especially when both of these teams
3004s	have so much on the line right now
3005s	you're playing for that third place spot
3008s	you're making a name for yourself as
3012s	well as one of the best teams in the
3015s	west as we are going to get a little
3017s	brief technical pause before we actually
3020s	kick off the action on pelican quick
3022s	just checking something
3024s	better early now before you start off
3026s	with the series in case you don't feel
3027s	comfortable with what's going on here
3029s	but touching up earlier on on the
3031s	history between these two teams and what
3033s	we've seen already to qualify to even be
3035s	here we talk about the uh adaptability
3038s	from the Houston Outlaws and the changes
3041s	that they've brought into what they feel
3043s	like they should play into their
3044s	strengths and which is what we've also
3045s	seen with their map choices in the
3047s	previous series that lead up to the
3049s	final day
3050s	um even though it went to a game five
3052s	versus the Florida Mayhem in the last
3054s	time that we saw these two teams play up
3055s	against each other in the qualifiers
3057s	Houston Outlaws ended up coming out on
3060s	top in the last two maps in that series
3062s	Houston won the lose map 4 on You Queen
3065s	Street push we know uh how a push is
3067s	when it comes to Florida Mayhem they
3069s	sweat a little bit they struggle out
3070s	here and then map five they also won
3072s	against the Florida man on Nepal so it's
3074s	about ramping up to see that you don't
3076s	have more of these Close Encounters that
3078s	Florida Mayhem obviously are very
3080s	familiar with we've seen it all
3082s	throughout this weekend too playing in
3083s	these game five situations and that was
3085s	another situation that they were also
3086s	trying to come back from a game five
3087s	situation
3089s	I think what's really interesting about
3090s	the way that the Florida Mayhem have
3092s	approached a lot of these series and
3094s	just kind of the history that this team
3096s	has had for this particular season is
3099s	just kind of looking at how they
3102s	approach control this has been a very
3105s	good game mode for them so if they're
3106s	able to get the win on an Arctic
3107s	Peninsula to kick off our series I feel
3109s	like Florida Mayhem are going to feel a
3110s	little more confident moving forward
3112s	especially knowing that they have a bit
3113s	of wiggle room there when it comes down
3115s	to playing out escort and push which
3117s	really have been their struggle points
3119s	in these past few Series yeah and you
3121s	know something else that I consider we
3123s	talk about the ram composition from the
3125s	Florida Mayhem let's not forget that it
3127s	was Florida Mayhem themselves that made
3129s	a note that gargoyle Ram do be going
3132s	crazy they said that and you know we've
3134s	seen gargoyle coming out uh when it
3136s	comes to playing on that Flex tank and
3138s	certain maps and you know when it comes
3140s	to AP here too I feel like we're going
3142s	to be seeing a lot more of those Close
3143s	Quarters fights as we get set up again
3145s	looks like everything is good to go just
3147s	making sure everything is sit here but
3149s	also wanting to note the energy from the
3151s	crowd every single time we got into a
3153s	single game the crowd was erupting
3155s	yesterday day one two we see the arena
3158s	getting filled up by everybody it's
3160s	gonna be a good time here for our finals
3162s	day absolutely but both of these teams
3164s	of course they have a tall task in front
3166s	of them not only do they have to win
3168s	this match but then they also have to go
3170s	forward to play the Atlanta Reign and
3174s	that's been the favorite pick to win the
3177s	entire tournament looking at their
3179s	undefeated record from the regular
3181s	season but Houston Outlaws did give them
3183s	a run for their money yesterday and so I
3185s	think that's why they are ending up as
3187s	the favorites coming into this match
3189s	yeah they're played so well that was an
3191s	insane game anybody who missed out on
3193s	the upper bracket final definitely
3195s	recommend you check out to see the
3196s	journey that has brought the Houston
3198s	Outlaws to where they are currently in
3200s	the lower bracket final Florida mam
3202s	obviously also making that lower bracket
3203s	run as we get started already we're
3205s	going to see Rancho brawl come out from
3207s	both of these teams a little bit of a
3209s	different look coming out from Florida
3210s	though they really like to play this
3212s	aggressive style of girl and especially
3215s	when checkmate's gonna be putting up the
3216s	icicles like this nice repeat from what
3219s	we ended up seeing from Checkmate
3220s	yesterday yeah Checkmate May is
3222s	absolutely insane here what a great
3224s	first pick in favor for the Florida
3226s	Mayhem also going to deny that EMP
3228s	charge opportunity that's gonna play
3230s	into the win con for the Houston Outlaws
3231s	I think the other thing about this
3233s	particular composition though is when
3234s	Merritt is going to be able to play this
3235s	Reaper you get a chance to get really
3238s	good damage onto fearless or at least
3241s	you end up forcing him to be able to use
3243s	those cooldowns try to negate a lot of
3245s	that damage and that leaves him
3246s	vulnerable for when the fight goes on a
3249s	little bit longer about these raid
3250s	bosses from the support lineup of the
3251s	Outlaws we talk about the best supports
3253s	in the league right now between the rain
3254s	and the Outlaws and they are out here
3256s	see currently having The High Ground as
3259s	someone is going to try to Duke it out
3260s	between Fearless who's incredibly low
3262s	right now managed to get saved by Shu
3263s	who has a nice alternate position here
3265s	right behind him someone though is not
3268s	saved Pelican is gonna be able to find a
3269s	nice wall also set up by Pelican as he's
3271s	approaching the blizzard already
3272s	Pelican's gonna get that blizzard online
3274s	so fast even now pacing checkmate at
3276s	this point but it's RuPaul with the
3277s	coalescence first that's going to be
3279s	able to get the drop on Pelican while he
3281s	uses the blizzard I never that's the
3283s	change up here too Nicole yes it charged
3285s	up incredibly quickly and that's the
3286s	difference between what we see from the
3287s	support line that's the H2 out here that
3289s	had the Nano boots Fearless cleaning up
3291s	what is left of the Mayhem and it's
3292s	cleaned up on aisle four as now the
3294s	Houston Outlaws are able to retake the
3295s	point now and that's going to be really
3297s	good for them when you take a look at
3298s	the economy of how they ended up playing
3299s	into that last fight Happy's gonna get
3301s	the EMP online and this should be a
3304s	really great tool for the Houston
3305s	Outlaws to rely upon in order to shut
3307s	down the Florida Mayhem as they start to
3309s	reapproach this point the big key Target
3312s	is going to be chorong that has that
3313s	sound barrier available so Happy's going
3315s	to want to try to deny that to allow the
3317s	Houston Outlaws to define success here
3319s	see if they can get behind them too take
3321s	a look at the old economy Flora Mayhem
3323s	they only used up that coal lessons in
3324s	that previous fight to stop the
3326s	engagement from Fearless didn't work out
3328s	here as happy it's already set up on The
3329s	High Ground waiting for the opportunity
3331s	to unleash the EMP as you mentioned
3333s	torong just trying to play safely
3335s	Happy's trying to isolate them in the
3337s	back before trying to call it out and as
3339s	the sound barrier is Unleashed first
3340s	before like EMP comes out that's gonna
3342s	benefit them even though someone bumps
3344s	the annihilation can just turned things
3345s	around here it helps them with
3347s	survivability
3348s	at first but it prevents Checkmate from
3350s	utilizing the blizzard it's a trade for
3352s	trade after you Outlaws lose out on shoe
3354s	with a Fearless position here too laying
3356s	right around the barrier here trying to
3358s	get our way and the Meg while coming up
3360s	on Pelican it's another trade now it's a
3362s	support lineup with Violet going down
3363s	shoemaking his way back and married with
3365s	the death Blossom has finished off with
3367s	his left of fearless this is a great
3369s	scrappy fight that we're currently
3370s	seeing right here and robot use another
3372s	cool lessons earlier
3374s	gonna be a big switch up for taurang to
3376s	go over to the kitty Coke get the Swift
3378s	stuff online to get back to the team as
3381s	Florida Mayhem are able to take back
3383s	control of this point Pelican was able
3385s	to get the blizzard online in that last
3387s	fight so Houston Outlaws have a great
3388s	way to be able to crowd control when
3390s	they come back in for the Recon test but
3393s	Checkmate has one too oh we've seen this
3394s	before we have seen we've seen yes and
3397s	it's always a great communication
3398s	between Checkmate and Merit in these
3400s	type of situations they know they don't
3401s	know look look at violet look at the
3402s	position between Violet as Checkmate is
3404s	inching forward look who's right there
3406s	you're doing trying to get in he defeats
3408s	the tread locator now as he's been able
3409s	to isolate shoot but shoe Stone sends
3411s	out the Nano boots I see him sending out
3413s	the blizzard here it's also Pelican on
3415s	the other side but Checkmate he got
3417s	exactly what he wanted and that was shoe
3419s	in this situation happy went down
3420s	without able to use the EMP here too
3422s	maybe he still wanted to hold on to it
3424s	since shoe had gone down first in that
3426s	fight but nearing 90 already now in
3428s	favor for the Florida Mayhem yeah this
3430s	is going to be exactly where that EMP is
3432s	going to matter as Houston Atlas they've
3434s	got to win this next fight here in order
3436s	to win this round you got a lot to work
3438s	with down already this is huge here but
3441s	the trade losing on troll wrong it's
3443s	only up to Rupaul who try to send up the
3445s	goal looks like got canceled right out
3446s	of here too Carly C the annihilation
3449s	activated between both someone and
3451s	fearless 99
3453s	like two they're going down you probably
3455s	see someone out grounding around the
3457s	side of the point trying to find Happy
3458s	trying to locate right out of there over
3460s	time taken down as someone is trying to
3462s	prevent them from getting right outside
3464s	of this window putting Florida Mayhem in
3466s	the driver's seat knocking down the
3467s	overtime and round one goes in favor for
3470s	the Florida Mayhem here Florida Mayhem
3472s	played such a great control in that game
3475s	they were really able to make sure that
3477s	they were taking over that space
3478s	efficiently and that sneaky sneaky
3482s	coming in from Checkmate to try to go
3484s	flank behind and use the blizzard being
3486s	able to get that translocator out of the
3488s	way meant that happy wasn't able to come
3490s	in and be able to help support that back
3492s	line when they ended up falling to the
3494s	Blizzard
3495s	man
3497s	both lizards being Unleashed at the same
3499s	time but in that moment it was Checkmate
3501s	going for the sneaky
3504s	Crouch approach to isolation it worked
3507s	yeah it worked in that situation and
3509s	that's what allowed for the ma'am to
3510s	actually regain control over the point
3511s	well Florida Mayhem are going to be
3513s	switching things up here a little bit as
3514s	we head over to Icebreaker this is one
3516s	of the rounds of Antarctic Peninsula
3518s	that we sometimes see those tanks switch
3520s	over to the Reinhardt and with Merit
3523s	also picking up the Cassidy this is a
3525s	hero that started to fall off in
3527s	popularity a little bit looking at the
3529s	regular season but what Merit is able to
3531s	provide with this long range hit scan is
3533s	these off angles and Icebreaker has some
3535s	great architecture to be able to play
3537s	around to make sure that you are set up
3539s	to get those sight lines yeah let's not
3540s	forget we're playing on the patch before
3541s	the dark queen Buffs out here too and
3543s	that's with Cassidy falling off and
3546s	falling off here back to the spawn here
3548s	is going to be Pelican finding that
3549s	heady on some Merit gonna be able to
3551s	take over the point with that ice block
3553s	nice ice wall now to try to isolate
3555s	someone so I'm trying to set him up into
3557s	position nice pressure coming in from
3559s	the Florida map despite Houston Outlaws
3560s	taking control over this point here
3562s	first but it's the battle between and
3564s	the ram that we continue to talk about
3566s	throughout the entirety of the Season
3567s	thus far and it's going to be a tough
3569s	one I think for someone to be able to
3570s	get into this especially when Charon
3572s	goes down there's no way to be able to
3574s	micro maneuver around the point all eyes
3576s	on Paul who has the window here
3578s	survivality has been insane so far but
3580s	he's going to want to hold on to it now
3581s	losing out on someone Checkmate getting
3583s	hacked here Houston Outlaws take the
3585s	steam fight the beginning and they were
3587s	able to get control at that point so
3588s	early as well so they're already
3590s	starting to work on that percentage
3592s	progress to try to be able to tie up
3594s	this map and go into a third round happy
3597s	meanwhile as well look at how many
3599s	ultimates are going to be on the board
3600s	here for the Houston Outlaws yes Florida
3602s	Mayhem have the amplification Matrix
3604s	from RuPaul however even though if
3606s	you're able to lay that down there's a
3608s	great way for Houston Outlaws to flank
3609s	behind maybe even get a little bit of a
3612s	surprise Blizzard or a surprise EMP here
3614s	and an Annihilation here too and a boost
3617s	Annihilation here yeah the Nana boost
3619s	was put on some Fearless right now
3620s	finally gets taken out though after
3623s	Violet pops so rally but it doesn't even
3625s	matter Here Comes Fearless still holding
3627s	on to the annihilation using that Nano
3629s	booster's advantage and clearing out
3630s	what is left of the Florida Mayhem
3632s	losing on another team fight before it
3634s	even looks like you began here and the
3635s	even more important ultimate that
3637s	Houston Outlaws were able to hold on to
3638s	was the EMP so now the Houston Outlaws
3641s	are approaching up to that 75 Mark it's
3644s	gonna be one more fight for them and
3646s	they can win this round so the fact that
3648s	happy still has this heavy hitting
3649s	ultimate it's going to be huge here
3653s	see happy waiting to get into position
3655s	before rejoining with the rest of the
3656s	Outlaws
3658s	that communication someone's looking for
3660s	the opportunity as the EMP comes out
3662s	from Happy Here Comes striking out here
3664s	too the double someone finding filing
3667s	was beautiful
3669s	now after using that shutter and the
3671s	fire strike here over on the other side
3672s	Checkmate manages to wrap around the
3674s	corner finds Fearless someone popping
3675s	off now finding shoe that is only three
3678s	left for the Outlaws but at 99 that was
3680s	detrimental for the Florida man to take
3682s	that fight yeah but that amplification
3683s	Matrix placement was so beautiful from
3686s	RuPaul oh and Checkmate getting a pick
3689s	on the Pelican as well this is going to
3691s	stall out the Houston Outlaws from being
3693s	able to regroup and get back into this
3695s	one the other thing about the Houston
3696s	Outlaws coming back is they're really
3698s	gonna try to take an Eco push they want
3701s	to try to get as many ultimates out of
3702s	the floor to Mayhem as possible but
3704s	they're farming ah the two for two deal
3705s	here for checkmate he's definitely gonna
3706s	take one of those
3708s	eat it for free out here while they back
3710s	up but that's a good amount of pressure
3711s	and time wasted away from the Houston
3713s	Outlaw so then rejoin again exactly and
3715s	Pelican right now is going to be the
3717s	closest player to an ultimate
3719s	but if they keep getting picked like
3721s	this it's going to be more trouble for
3723s	them to try to come back in as a team of
3725s	five and Checkmate has the blizzard as
3727s	well Florida Mayhem might start to get
3730s	on the road wait someone what have you
3733s	eaten the maywall blocking the only
3736s	Escape Route from Fearless can he get
3738s	away with you feeling the pressure too
3740s	that is the shish kabob between fearless
3742s	and shoe the two for one again now
3745s	Checkmate finding him that's two out for
3747s	the Outlaws and more time wasted away
3749s	after they had the advantage at this
3751s	point as well Fearless is going to
3752s	switch over to the Winston wants to be
3754s	able to jump onto the back line as
3756s	RuPaul is playing a little bit more of a
3759s	dive Target in that Baptiste it also is
3761s	able to get the immortality field out
3763s	early if Fearless is able to play it
3765s	right but the big thing is that Shu does
3767s	have the Nano boost and that's going to
3768s	go right on to fearless and it loses
3769s	Fearless jumps in amazing opportunity to
3772s	isolate Merit and now the blizzard
3774s	coming in from both Pelican and
3775s	Checkmate you've mentioned the
3776s	immortality Fields both are off the
3778s	table here but chorong is the first one
3780s	to go out and that means the back line
3782s	has been eliminated from the Florida
3783s	Mayhem yes you have that desperate
3785s	shatter with the overtime taken away
3787s	Houston Outlaws though have cleared the
3789s	floor from the Florida Mayhem we got a
3791s	great series on our hands here next
3792s	right now it's tied 1-1 apiece on first
3794s	map oh in this next round this next
3797s	round is really where it's going to
3800s	start to get tough when it comes down to
3802s	these brawl compositions
3804s	heading over to sub-level and that's
3807s	where you can see sometimes the dive
3809s	sometimes you see the ramatra rush it
3812s	really depends on what these teams are
3813s	going to start to feel comfortable with
3814s	but it's going to be a great litmus test
3816s	heading into the next maps of the series
3818s	as we get a chance to check out this
3819s	replay from Fearless that Nano boost
3822s	really bolstering up his attack without
3824s	having to use the annihilation too this
3825s	is the second team fight that we got to
3826s	see in that second round here cleaning
3828s	up what was left of the Florida Mayhem
3830s	beautiful
3832s	now getting started round number three
3834s	seeing some change-ups here as well
3836s	looking at the Florida Mayhem yes
3837s	they've been changing between the Lucio
3839s	more but now we're seeing the Kirito now
3840s	coming out yeah the kiriko Baptiste this
3842s	is a very aggressive backline coming in
3844s	from the Florida Mayhem chorong has
3846s	really started to pick up this hero in
3848s	order to be able to get some nice shots
3850s	in with those kunai especially if you're
3853s	able to hit the head shots you're gonna
3855s	be able to start to delete Targets in
3857s	the back line like Shu and violet so
3859s	this really allows Chong to play a bit
3861s	more aggressively but you do lose out a
3862s	little bit on the burst healing when it
3864s	comes down to not having something like
3866s	the Anna but the Baptiste is able to
3868s	cover that too if you could do that 150
3870s	damage out here onto happy if he's
3871s	pressuring that back line that's
3872s	something that tauren can look out for
3873s	here is fearless tries to jump on top of
3876s	The High Ground also someone gets hacked
3878s	and then anti right afterwards a group
3879s	call with a Saving Grace on the
3881s	immortality field helping him replenish
3883s	that health and Checkmate taking a nap
3884s	in the back don't worry though see
3886s	throwing right next to him here is
3888s	fearless tries to capitalize nice split
3890s	High Ground here though splitting the
3891s	attention of the Florida am see someone
3893s	being able to pick off Pelican for that
3894s	Houston Outlaws now looking to see if
3897s	they can disengage since the point now
3898s	it's finally gonna get unlocked and now
3900s	go in favor for quarterman Fearless is
3902s	still trying to play this one out though
3903s	especially knowing that shu is has that
3905s	Nano boost online so Fearless can take a
3907s	little bit of a step back try to get
3909s	healed up wait for those cooldowns to
3910s	come back so he can find the right
3912s	target to jump onto but someone's got
3915s	control of this High Ground now but here
3917s	comes the Nano boost oh see then that
3919s	goes onto Fearless but Violet someone
3921s	again finding a Majora finding shoe with
3923s	the heady here as she had put down that
3925s	Nano boost onto Fearless that's an old
3926s	wasted away here from The Outlaws and
3929s	Florida ma'am are going to be able to
3930s	restabilize with a plethora of ultimates
3931s	on their own Florida Mayhem are such a
3933s	scrappy team as well you're seeing them
3935s	take a lot of these 1v1 fights they
3937s	ended up isolating a lot of their
3938s	targets like what you just ended up
3940s	seeing there from fearless and the
3942s	follow-up has been there so Florida
3943s	Mayhem really on a roll here when it
3946s	comes down to this ramatra brawl but you
3949s	got to be careful because happy playing
3951s	the trace sir got the pulse bomb ready
3953s	to go really going to be trying to look
3955s	out for somebody in the back line
3958s	Pelican 2 wait for him to get into a
3961s	position our Florida Mayhem gonna give
3963s	this up oh the communication committee
3965s	into isolate RuPaul his immortality
3967s	field gets a lead in it he's been a
3968s	problem his survivability is amazing as
3970s	the blizzard gets called in from
3971s	Checkmate the Russians welcome here but
3974s	merits with the pulse bomb is going to
3976s	be with fine shoot still the number
3978s	Advantage goes in favor for the Houston
3979s	owls but not for long when someone had
3981s	use of the annihilation earlier to find
3983s	Violet that's Violet going down without
3985s	utilizing the rally here as opposal gets
3987s	sent out from Happy doesn't find a stick
3989s	but don't worry Pelican is the insurance
3990s	policy that you need to finish off what
3992s	is left of the man to flip the point
3994s	RuPaul's gonna pop the amplification
3996s	Matrix as well even though they're down
3997s	a few members in this fight they might
3999s	be able to get this done but
4000s	unfortunately Fearless is just putting
4002s	on too much pressure into the back line
4004s	that was an expensive fight for both
4007s	teams but Violet is still gonna have
4010s	that rally to be able to utilize in this
4012s	next fight as Houston Outlaws are now
4014s	starting to look down having to play
4016s	this out perfectly the sustainable
4018s	ability will really help the Outlaws to
4020s	be able to withstand something of the
4023s	pressure of someone especially when you
4024s	look at someone wanting to try to play a
4026s	little bit more forward in the front
4028s	line I know we already know this but
4030s	Fearless is just absolutely insane the
4032s	way that he positions himself to go for
4033s	those shorter hops to close in the Gap
4035s	without overextending to keep himself in
4037s	the line of sight of shoot who is
4038s	enjoyable to see us happy does get
4040s	hacked here by Marriott looking around
4042s	Ood for trying to predict where the
4043s	recall was gonna set up happy here still
4046s	Happy's gonna be able to survive and she
4047s	was gonna be able to stay on The High
4048s	Ground you can see on the other side
4050s	someone trying to contest the back line
4052s	of the Houston owls but don't worry
4054s	Daddy Fearless skier protects you and
4056s	violent and so is this rally the fall
4058s	from Pelican is going to be able to
4059s	punish someone for getting a little
4061s	overly aggressive out here on that High
4063s	Ground without an escape option
4064s	meanwhile Jordan Paul hitting a nasty
4067s	nade onto happy fearless and violet but
4070s	then immediately get re-stabilized by
4071s	shoe again who still has a Nana who's
4073s	here in Checkmate finding happy nanopus
4075s	put on some Fearless here and he's also
4077s	got the Primal if he wants to live for
4078s	been longer after the Nana was done
4080s	violent though while he's stuck in the
4082s	side room you know you're dealing with a
4085s	right demon he's gonna be able to find
4086s	two and someone gets the Revenge after
4088s	he comes in he bumps the annihilation
4090s	points the opportunity since everybody
4092s	was just funneled inside of that side
4094s	room with Violet and I never seen
4096s	Fearless pop the Primal Rage as well as
4098s	Happy's gonna switch over to the ash
4100s	that Dynamite damage gonna be a really
4102s	great way to keep the Houston Outlaws
4104s	with control at this point especially
4106s	playing on The High Ground but look at
4107s	Merrick wants to be able to play with
4109s	that but the dynamite there to be able
4111s	to sniff out Merit and where he's hiding
4113s	with the Sombra is this gonna be a trade
4115s	of the backlines here as we come down to
4117s	the last fight
4118s	get past happy out here with that
4121s	Dynamite while we take a look at Merit
4123s	stories of translocator from Pelican
4125s	yeah because he's got the EMP he has no
4127s	Escape option here but it's fine with
4128s	overtime taking away they have to push
4130s	in on this prevent the Florida Mayhem
4131s	from trying to contest here saw the
4133s	rally that was activated as the EMP goes
4136s	out a costume of a violence life and
4138s	clashes shoe and fearless gear they get
4141s	the trade Checkmate going down thinks
4142s	the happy being set up on this position
4144s	who can stop happy though this is a good
4146s	spot for the Houston all of us to stay
4148s	on The High Ground also Houston owls
4150s	staying on the point while the overtime
4152s	takes away the numbers are dwindling
4154s	through the Florida man to allow the
4156s	Houston olos to sit in the driver's seat
4157s	Fearless being the nail in the coffin as
4160s	the Houston Outlaws take map number one
4162s	that was such a slug Fest though when
4165s	these two teams were going at it for
4167s	Antarctic Peninsula felt like it was so
4169s	back and forth there and especially very
4171s	dependent on whether or not the Somers
4173s	were able to hit their marks yeah and
4175s	even though we even saw was Violet at
4178s	one point go down at the very end of
4179s	that fight first it was the way that the
4181s	Houston owls had set up on The High
4183s	Ground and remember what the deaths I
4185s	talk about they're very quick to adapt
4187s	depending on the comp switches that they
4189s	need to do on the Fly well we saw the
4191s	ash which coming out getting set up on
4193s	The High Ground who's gonna check right
4194s	now when you're on overtime and you
4196s	don't really have the moving ability to
4197s	try to contest where Felton was here
4199s	yeah it just has to be the Sombra in
4201s	that case yeah and sometimes that isn't
4203s	enough especially when you have the
4204s	coach gun you're able to do a lot of
4206s	burst damage to that Sombra which forces
4208s	her to translocate but if you're gonna
4210s	be able to have somebody on your side
4213s	like happy and Pelican just kind of
4215s	working together Pelican is able to
4218s	have a good read on where those
4219s	translocators are and they also were
4221s	able to nail down what the the primary
4223s	problem was for the Florida Mayhem and
4225s	we talked about RuPaul's survivability
4226s	earlier on in the first two rounds he
4229s	had only died once he was doing a really
4230s	good job at disengaging when those
4232s	fights seemed out of loss and then in
4234s	that final round we saw that a lot of
4236s	the primary focus was to prevent RuPaul
4237s	from also allowing Merit and Checkmate
4239s	to set up here too so great awareness
4241s	from the Houston Outlaws don't expect
4243s	anything different here I mean this is
4244s	the Outlaws at the end of the day as we
4246s	take a look at some of these highlights
4247s	here
4248s	RuPaul with the coalescence I really
4250s	like the Moira pick coming out from the
4253s	hack the Florida Mayhem it makes you
4255s	just have such a cleaner Frontline brawl
4258s	when it comes down to being able to help
4261s	ramatra stay alive but I think as well
4265s	when you look at just the coordination
4266s	of the Houston Outlaws that can really
4270s	reign supreme when you're able to get
4272s	happy in Pelicans set up next to each
4274s	other and the fact that they are able to
4276s	cover each other's hero pools as well
4278s	gives them so much flexibility someone
4280s	had some time to shine there too we saw
4282s	the first shatter that led it to the
4284s	double fire strike so you try to clean
4285s	up that first fight in the first round
4287s	here too as we get to see Pelican also
4289s	trying to get set up and isolating cool
4290s	wrong here nice communication from
4292s	fearless and Pelican to try to make sure
4295s	that there was going to be put extra
4296s	pressure on that back line saying
4299s	Checkmate as well being able to find
4300s	happy in the feed but Violet this is
4301s	where we saw the raid boss action go
4303s	down in that side room you'll have to
4305s	see it and then we saw someone also
4306s	retaliate with the annihilation a lot of
4309s	back and forth going on so far in this
4311s	series and we are moving on to King's
4312s	Row for map number two Negra it's gonna
4314s	be a really great showing here is this
4316s	is going to be the Florida mayhem's Pick
4318s	to move on to that next map and you know
4322s	they've got something up their sleeves
4324s	here when it comes down to being able to
4326s	use something like the remotra yeah we
4328s	got to see how that's going to play out
4329s	here on the other side of this break we
4331s	got map number two

4529s	welcome back everybody to the mid-season
4531s	Madness we're in the lower bracket final
4533s	and we just wrapped up map number one
4536s	Houston Outlaws taken after the third
4538s	round necro it was such a big map to
4542s	kick off this series as well just so
4545s	much back and forth happening between
4546s	these two teams and it makes me really
4548s	excited to see what's gonna happen next
4550s	look at all the love for Houston Outlaws
4553s	as well I know they have such a big fan
4555s	base both in the west as well as an APAC
4558s	so really nice to see them show up here
4560s	today to support their team yeah I love
4562s	seeing the crowd love seeing the art out
4564s	here guys don't forget hashtag
4567s	owl2023. I know a lot of you guys are
4569s	rallying behind Danny in the Florida
4571s	Mayhem they need your support see we got
4574s	some Florida Mayhem fans out there too
4576s	honestly the crowd has been so
4579s	supportive of both of our teams they
4581s	just want to be able to see some great
4583s	games and this is already delivering
4585s	that see it slowly pack up here too
4589s	love that little drawing a little
4590s	penguin I mean we did just play on uh
4592s	Antarctic Peninsula so
4594s	Hanzo skin also has my heart here I know
4597s	right
4599s	hahaha
4600s	Jack Barrett
4602s	I literally do make the perfect
4604s	combination don't they they do is they
4607s	really do all together now
4609s	and we got to see what our next map is
4611s	going to look like as well necra and a
4614s	little worried here because we know how
4616s	good happy is as we take a look at the
4619s	side by side on the ram after that first
4622s	map very close here in terms of the hero
4625s	damage done and the survivability as
4627s	well here someone in Fearless for
4628s	playing very back and forth the final
4629s	blows do go in favor for someone as well
4632s	as old efficiency but we also saw some
4633s	swapps going in from someone well so
4635s	this speaks to how good someone is when
4638s	the annihilation is online yeah and for
4641s	the other side of things with fearless's
4643s	ramatra we're really looking at his
4645s	ability to play with the team like the
4648s	lower deaths really speaks to the back
4651s	line helping to make sure that he can
4653s	stay up yeah and it also really
4655s	highlights the back line though from the
4657s	Houston Outlaws and keeping Fearless
4659s	alive the commit the communication
4661s	coming in to allow Fearless to make that
4663s	space as well as calling out issues that
4666s	are coming from the Florida Mayhem like
4667s	they were able to pinpoint RuPaul into
4669s	survivability in that second round very
4671s	quick to adapt here while we're getting
4673s	set up
4674s	heading to King's Row is really
4676s	interesting though because we saw King's
4678s	Row for the very first time yes
4681s	yesterday when we saw the Florida Mayhem
4684s	take it to the Boston Uprising it was
4687s	Boston uprising's pick so maybe Florida
4689s	Mayhem feeling a little confident
4691s	knowing that a lot of these teams
4692s	haven't had practice on this land stage
4695s	playing this particular map except for
4697s	them yeah you talk about the structure
4699s	of King's Row here too the verticality
4700s	that it provides allowing you to really
4702s	take control over The High Ground is
4704s	going to be a priority Fearless
4705s	obviously wants to make sure he can
4707s	clear that space up there we see Echo
4708s	sometimes coming up here on King's Row
4710s	but when I think about King's Row I also
4712s	think about the open sight lines that
4714s	you have especially with before you get
4715s	that payload out of the garage leading
4717s	up into the close quarter fights that
4718s	you find in that point B section and I
4720s	think about happy one of the best hit
4722s	scans in the league out here that could
4723s	really Excel on King's Row yes Florida
4725s	ma'am they won against Boston Uprising
4728s	that was a very difficult series for the
4730s	Boston Uprising and to even watch it
4731s	play out and Florida Mayhem may be
4733s	feeling themselves after now picking it
4735s	for the second time they've seen so far
4736s	all weekend long exactly exactly the
4739s	point that I was trying to make there
4740s	earlier but I think what's going to be
4742s	super interesting to watch is how
4745s	someone and fearless decide to approach
4747s	this particular map
4748s	you talk about the verticality Fearless
4750s	definitely going to want to play into
4752s	that one as is Winston is very strong
4754s	but when it comes down to the streets
4758s	ramatra very good very good yeah
4763s	and opting to be on the defense here all
4765s	the Houston Outlaws
4767s	to go on the attack
4769s	see how this is going to play out here
4771s	for the Florida Mayhem in terms of their
4772s	positioning really smart for merit to go
4774s	ahead and auto pick this ash to begin
4776s	with expecting Pelican to come out on
4778s	the echo this is a look that we've seen
4780s	from the Houston Outlaws many times
4782s	especially when you look at how Tracer
4784s	and Sombra don't necessarily like to
4786s	play on this particular Point too many
4789s	very obvious flank routes for both of
4792s	those Heroes and so you know that
4793s	they're going to be able to get sniffed
4794s	out pretty easily so that's why we're
4796s	gonna see Pelican out on the Echo and
4798s	happy actually picking up the Hanzo as
4800s	well to really make great use of the
4801s	wall climbing capability not even
4803s	surprised here too look at the way that
4805s	happies is trying to find these angles
4806s	knowing exactly where Merit is currently
4808s	and jorong's like don't worry I got to
4810s	get down Mr President as you currently
4812s	see Merrick getting hit with an ante
4814s	things coming in incredibly early
4815s	already as Pelican having to get away
4817s	the open sight lines here is miracles to
4819s	send out the dynamite someone
4820s	capitalizing finding Pelican huge here
4823s	as half he's also gonna fall low to talk
4825s	about wall climb just so that way he
4826s	could try to reposition himself that's
4827s	going to overextend but it's about
4829s	controlling this High Ground that is so
4830s	important for this first point
4833s	you'll see the vortex come out though so
4835s	someone already gonna be able to get
4836s	some nice dot damage onto that he's not
4838s	lost the slow as well being really
4840s	important
4841s	but look at how they're isolating the
4843s	back line they're all getting closed
4845s	into the backup Point as Florida Mayhem
4847s	start to get sandwiched oh someone
4850s	activating the Nemesis form duking it
4852s	out finding him in the ring here
4854s	so much damage over pause also under
4856s	some pressure no help from someone
4858s	though as Fearless is gonna be able to
4860s	Now find someone and marry this is what
4862s	we're talking about controlling The High
4863s	Ground the priority from Fearless gear
4865s	especially on that Winston is gonna be
4867s	able to control so much space yes he's
4868s	taking a nap here but the rest of the
4869s	Houston Outlaws are still here that's
4871s	why RuPaul just didn't have a sight line
4873s	there on to someone
4874s	just getting locked down by the front
4876s	line of the Houston Outlaws so it made
4878s	it impossible for him to be able to poke
4879s	his head out so a really nice capture
4881s	here coming through from the Houston
4882s	Outlaws payload gets unlocked and we
4884s	enter into the streets phase Checkmate
4886s	is already gonna make the pivot over to
4888s	the Tracer
4889s	plays way better on the second point and
4892s	into third and you also are able to
4894s	start playing around with these flank
4896s	angles and it also plays into the second
4898s	Point what you mentioned earlier with
4899s	the ramatra playing in this fourth
4901s	quarter Alleyways here happy still set
4903s	up on The High Ground trunks is trying
4905s	to
4906s	used to utilize that Shield to prevent
4907s	Happy from getting any sort of impact
4908s	knows exactly where Checkmate is
4910s	Checkmate can't be as cheeky as he
4911s	thought Nana boost put onto someone here
4914s	but the Houston Olas are taking a much
4915s	more patient approach they're just gonna
4917s	wait out this Nano boost or is it to
4919s	really contest here while they're still
4920s	by the choke point it's Fearless is
4921s	going to be able to LEAP into the back
4922s	line Nana boost onto Fearless he's
4924s	trying to isolate chorong and Rupal now
4926s	having to go for a reposition seeing
4928s	that the Florida may have all split up
4930s	you're gonna be able to take out Merit
4931s	because he's alone with no help you saw
4933s	her chorong and RuPaul was and then
4935s	Pelican is able to fly over and finish
4937s	whatever damage that Fearless was able
4938s	to put down here despite the fact that
4940s	we see Merit on the ash Pelican is
4942s	getting away with murder right now this
4945s	is so difficult for the Florida Mayhem
4947s	to be able to play against because
4948s	especially when you're going to play the
4949s	ramatra you have way less ability to end
4952s	up shielding the rest of your team so it
4954s	falls onto chorong to be able to help
4956s	make sure that the back line is staying
4958s	safe or you end up putting up that
4959s	shield for merit in particular to be
4962s	able to operate and with Fearless
4964s	subtracting Merit from the equation of
4965s	the very beginning think of that
4966s	previous fight that means that Merit
4968s	can't deal with the issue in the sky
4969s	which is Pelican in this case who has
4970s	duplicate apparently Violet's got the
4972s	rally ready here Mayhem also has
4974s	plethora of ultimate to work with too
4981s	someone also has the annihilation ready
4983s	but with trolling activating the rally
4984s	he's trying to keep the reservoir man
4986s	stabilize the annihilation now comes out
4988s	nice name from RuPaul heating up the two
4990s	that look it's still in this
4991s	Annihilation form by the way before he
4993s	gets booted right back to the echo here
4995s	backing away in time and it's the
4997s	disengage and the communication once
4999s	again being shown by the Houston Outlaws
5001s	to call out when these fights need to be
5003s	backed up Checkmate try to go for a
5004s	cheeky Falls swamp stick but it did not
5005s	stick right there no but at this point
5007s	Houston Outlaws are trying to play with
5009s	this Dragon strike from happy to split
5010s	up the team
5014s	their only Escape Route blocked five
5017s	dragons right here someone gets the
5019s	trade though trong and violet and
5021s	Checkmate finding happy puts the Florida
5023s	ma'am and the number Advantage Houston
5025s	Outlaws now losing out on Fearless
5027s	snacks it's gonna have to be a reset
5028s	here for the Houston Outlets this is
5030s	getting dicey though for Houston yes
5032s	they were able to get the card forward
5033s	of great distance two minutes left on
5036s	the clock though for them in just a
5037s	little bit more shoes Nano boost can go
5039s	a long way here though that's really the
5041s	only ultimate that they have in their
5043s	bank and because that fight was so
5044s	expensive the verily shoe can help to
5047s	try to get fearless's Primal Rage online
5048s	as quicker or maybe even make violet
5053s	into a raid boss here either way it
5055s	should be a good approach here for
5057s	Houston as long as they're able to get
5059s	something done with the Nano to be able
5060s	to get another ultimate online are you
5062s	situational especially depending on the
5064s	positioning that we're seeing here
5065s	Florida man playing again a little bit
5067s	split up like we saw initially Pelican
5069s	just trying to figure out an opportunity
5070s	to see where the floor are stationed up
5073s	on The High Ground
5074s	two does have that Nano boost like you
5076s	mentioned trying to find chore wrong
5078s	here that a boost activated onto
5080s	Fearless as he's been able to isolate
5081s	the back line of the Florida Mayhem
5083s	needing some help here but the ball
5084s	finds Pelican they too trade that off
5086s	for Charon before Fearless manages to
5088s	back away in time but he gave this back
5090s	to the rest of the juice now loss and
5091s	that has enabled Checkmate gear seeing
5093s	the trade-off once again Merit being
5095s	able to find shoe as Violet comes right
5096s	back in Checkmate has been almost a
5098s	killable at this point he was trying to
5100s	find as I said that he was trying to
5101s	find these different flanking options
5103s	and happy shutting him down almost
5104s	immediately
5106s	this should be the Houston Outlaws being
5107s	able to get this second Point capture
5109s	but the respawns are coming in really
5111s	fast here for Florida and they've got
5113s	ultimate support as someone's gonna get
5114s	the annihilation oh no and as someone
5117s	with the annihilation the rally was also
5118s	come came in and happy with the ball oh
5121s	song is actually huge here wait they got
5124s	the point what
5126s	they were able to get the point in that
5128s	previous fight the rally was used the
5130s	annihilation was used and now we're
5131s	seeing
5132s	Violet Zen someone was right there yeah
5136s	exactly he had the sustainability he had
5139s	the Firepower to be able to dish out but
5141s	Houston outlaws they're able to clutch
5143s	up that second point and get them a
5145s	little bit of extra time but I love that
5147s	you called out the Violet Zenyatta
5149s	because that's going to be really fun to
5150s	see the burst damage come through from
5152s	the Houston Outlaws especially when
5154s	you're gonna end up playing into some of
5156s	these more heavy hitting ultimates here
5157s	with the rally being online for Florida
5159s	you also going to enable the follow-up
5162s	damage here as we saw the swap up from
5164s	Violet back to the brig wondering if
5166s	maybe Pelican gonna be able to try to
5168s	get the fall from the Discord orbs here
5169s	she was trying to check in the back for
5171s	Mary I think it's too difficult to run
5173s	the brig you've got married and
5174s	Checkmate exactly oh no but hey with
5177s	violent Fearless rather finding
5179s	Checkmate here and shoot getting hacked
5181s	in the back it's gonna be able to take
5182s	that pick and get close the distance of
5184s	this next corner here the rally is going
5186s	to be at activity control run Checkmate
5188s	has that post bomb ready for Pelican on
5190s	The High Ground someone needs to contest
5191s	him Merit being back on the summer means
5193s	that you want that's it scan to deal
5194s	with Pelican who now activates the
5196s	duplicate here to be able to copy
5198s	someone's Winston you see the way that
5200s	Florida maim are backing off in time yes
5202s	you get hacked but it doesn't work it's
5204s	like marriage eme that they're so
5205s	desperate to use you have less than a
5207s	minute now on the clock on the payload
5208s	is taxing along Fearless finding group
5210s	Hawk here after she would use the Nana
5212s	boost earlier on it's all on going down
5214s	next gear to the back line has been
5216s	deleted from the Florida Mayhem and
5217s	Violet's about to get the next rally
5219s	look at this if someone goes down as
5220s	well the rally helping to both defenses
5223s	Merit though can't touch gonna touch
5226s	your old trickling down one by one but
5228s	it's too much pressure even seeing the
5230s	desperate swamps from The Floor Of
5232s	Mayhem into the giriko here wasn't
5233s	enough Houston almost had a lot of
5235s	momentum rolling forward after we saw
5238s	the swap back to the brig we saw dupe
5240s	the duplicate coming out as well the
5242s	echo wasn't really dealt with that
5243s	entire time all kicked off with a nano
5245s	boost right before for capturing that
5247s	second Point as well but what a big
5249s	misstep there from the Florida Mayhem to
5251s	not be able to contest the cart before
5253s	that ended up sneaking Over The Line
5255s	as we take a look at the side swaps
5258s	Florida Mayhem yeah Pelican was a
5261s	problem the ash wasn't enough none of
5264s	the hit scan pressure onto the echo was
5265s	able to take Pelican down so I would
5268s	assume that Houston Outlaw is feeling
5270s	pretty comfortable in that pick with
5272s	also all of that pressure to be able to
5274s	play that on the defense too but can't
5277s	cannot happy either and that was
5279s	actually insane I mean this is Happy
5281s	Hanzo
5282s	we've seen this before the impact coming
5285s	in any of the sniper right yeah it's
5287s	happy it's scary come on and uh Houston
5289s	Outlaws I see taking that payload all
5292s	the way to the Finish Line less than 35
5294s	seconds on the clock here for them but I
5296s	like to talk about the survivability
5297s	shoe died only once in that round so far
5300s	and he was doing a really good job at
5302s	helping enable fearless and preventing
5304s	really Merit from being a problem after
5306s	we saw Merritt make the swap over to the
5307s	Sombra well you called out something
5308s	really important during that attack push
5310s	from the Houston Outlaws and that was
5312s	how well they were able to kite away
5314s	from any of that incoming damage you saw
5316s	the Nano boost go on to someone Houston
5318s	Outlaws backed up right away so she was
5321s	able to keep himself nice and safe and I
5323s	think that's another thing that Florida
5324s	Mayhem are going to have to play around
5326s	is that the way that they were trying to
5327s	approach the back line just didn't work
5330s	but let's see what they're able to bring
5331s	on the defense here
5334s	Checkmate this Echo right now you know
5337s	Pelican is feasting
5339s	while sticking to the somber Tracer comp
5341s	here while Violet is sticking to the Zen
5343s	here which is very interesting when it
5345s	comes to the damage output that they're
5346s	looking to get the followed four
5347s	fearless and happy and Merritt finds the
5350s	heady out to Violet as we talk about it
5352s	no Discord orb is gonna be a problem
5353s	here nope not anymore now that Violet's
5356s	out of the picture it really does rely
5357s	on the Houston Outlaws getting into the
5359s	back line if I was actually going to try
5360s	to get back a little bit faster hope
5362s	that the immortality field maybe would
5363s	be a great
5365s	piece of the kit but Violet actually
5367s	gonna stick over to the Zenyatta as
5370s	Houston Outlaw's got to give up a little
5371s	bit of this point to wait for Violet to
5373s	get back Florida Mayhem too the way that
5375s	checking is playing around statue here
5377s	Pelican translocating away
5379s	so holding onto The High Ground it's
5381s	gonna be Fearless now repositioning the
5383s	way that Houston Outlaws once again
5385s	hiding away from the pressure that is
5387s	the Florida Mayhem to rejoined together
5388s	group someone gets hacked by Culligan
5391s	building into that EMP nice anti-nate
5393s	onto choron as Merit gets healed up
5395s	again by troll on here too Fearless
5397s	taking a nap though on The High Ground
5398s	RuPaul's gonna be able to finish him off
5400s	Violet then gets revenge onto Checkmate
5402s	those are the Discord orbs really coming
5404s	through it's fine you got violate with a
5406s	nano boost on him from shoe that's
5407s	finally doing all the damage that he
5408s	needs to do to waiver off all the
5410s	pressure from Florida Mayhem all right
5411s	may have to start to capitalize on this
5413s	one though especially when Fearless is
5415s	and you don't want to check into that
5418s	hotel catch me outside on the side room
5420s	of this hotel bringing out the guns it's
5422s	gonna be someone finding Violet and
5424s	finding the payload out of the garage
5426s	while Checkmate is going to take a much
5427s	more aggressive position so that way
5429s	they can clear this next color Corner
5431s	well they don't want the Houston Outlaws
5432s	to play around the bookstore especially
5435s	if they're tracking the ultimate howling
5437s	does have the EMP online and that would
5439s	be a lot of pretty much a momentum stop
5442s	here for the Florida Mayhem after
5444s	unlocking this payload so you will see
5446s	them play a little bit more aggressively
5447s	here but Houston Outlaws trying to get
5449s	into a position as Pelican yep he's
5452s	looking for it he's looking for it they
5453s	want to take this fighter on the
5455s	bookstore Houston Outlaws have a great
5456s	defensive position from there they know
5458s	where happy is too that could be a
5459s	slight indicator of where Pelican could
5461s	be approaching from it he's on the low
5462s	ground here
5464s	trying to see drawing also swinging away
5468s	right in position here to unleash the
5470s	EMP good checkmate
5473s	it's waiting for the most impact that
5474s	he's got here
5475s	as he comes out and the immediately
5477s	capitalizing finding strong Paul getting
5478s	caught in the line of sight of the EMP
5480s	and it's mayor with the dragons clearing
5482s	the space and trying to isolate Fearless
5484s	he's got the Primal he'll definitely be
5486s	able to survive these manages to get
5487s	away get us a disengage from The Outlaws
5489s	to recognize the situation as the vortex
5491s	controls some space trying to slow down
5493s	Fearless he activates the problem he
5494s	jumps away in time they had coming in
5496s	too as well as the sleep here as Violet
5498s	has a trans ready Nana boost now on some
5501s	Fearless just to prolong all the extra
5502s	pressure that he was able to put on
5503s	originally with the Bravo Now finding
5505s	Merit nice ante here but it's not going
5507s	to help you out he's going to be able to
5508s	back away once again in time because
5510s	it's happy that's gonna be able to
5511s	retake this payload prevent any more
5513s	pressure as Barrett makes a swap over to
5514s	the Sombra Checkmate now the trade-off
5516s	trade losing out on shoe and Checkmate
5518s	losing out unhappy against happy here
5520s	rather and he's got the pulse bomb ready
5522s	for this next fight a lot of Scrappy
5524s	fights here for the Florida man to deal
5525s	with in these Alleyways they're so split
5527s	up Houston Outlaws have really been
5529s	doing a great job of controlling this
5531s	space so that they're able to take these
5534s	2v1s maybe these 1V ones very confident
5537s	in their ability to be able to duel up
5539s	against some of these members of the
5540s	Florida Mayhem pilot as well though on
5542s	the Zenyatta has been able to put so
5544s	much pressure with these orbs of Discord
5546s	but I would be worried now that someone
5548s	has that Annihilation it's been able to
5550s	get so much work done with that old
5552s	it's a survivability here too that the
5554s	Outlaws were able to go right through
5555s	that previous fight Now setting this up
5557s	Violet falling incredibly low and it's
5558s	the annihilation that girl you mentioned
5560s	here allowing someone to find the
5562s	problem taking control over this Higher
5564s	Ground Fearless you're the next victim
5565s	here but he jumps away in time a lot of
5567s	pressure now coming up from Florida man
5569s	when Pelican also falling low he's about
5571s	to get this efp would be crazy to
5572s	survive through this but they've lost
5574s	out on shoe here and with someone moving
5576s	all the way forward it's to help enable
5577s	the rest of Florida man to close that
5578s	Gap I think that's okay for the Houston
5580s	Outlaws though they get one more attempt
5582s	to add a defense here and with the EMP
5584s	that you called out they also have a
5586s	nano boost coming online Houston Outlaws
5588s	have a great chance at being able to
5590s	stop the cart here the one wrench that
5592s	could be thrown into their plans is
5594s	trorong's Rally if he's not caught in
5596s	the EMP then he's able to come back in
5598s	with that but there you go there's nice
5601s	EMP yes it costs football's life which
5603s	means the nanopus won't be involved in
5605s	this fight yes strong had activated the
5607s	rally in a nice frame right before the
5609s	EMT was Unleashed to help sustain
5611s	someone here but again it's only at the
5613s	trunk for Less survivability and it
5615s	doesn't look like it's going to be
5615s	enough now that someone goes down thinks
5617s	a Fearless capitalizing happy now
5619s	finding chorong over the side and Shu
5621s	going down with the Nana boost ready the
5623s	Wii would re-engage here and there's a
5625s	minute and 20 seconds on the clock for
5626s	Florida man to get to the second Point
5627s	Florida Mayhem are going to have someone
5629s	switch over to the Winston as they are
5632s	looking at that time bank starting to
5634s	quickly expire but Florida Mayhem want
5637s	to try to play off the back of this EMP
5638s	as well as checkmate's pulse bomb he's
5640s	been really great at Landing these so
5642s	far in the mid-season Madness Tournament
5643s	so as long as he's able to get one of
5645s	these members down that's going to be
5646s	really great to maybe force out an
5648s	ultimate here Pilots Transcendence I get
5651s	a little worried about that one for
5652s	Houston but mayor versus oh Pelican you
5655s	this was coming it was looking for merit
5657s	after doing the point knowing that he
5659s	was right behind them you can even hear
5661s	him too the EMP was Unleashed from Mary
5663s	earlier catching happy we'll be able to
5665s	get back into this fight just as quick
5666s	as he is on that Tracer and Houston
5668s	Outlaws still maintaining all these
5670s	ultimates now the natives is put on some
5671s	Fearless yeah that Transcendence too to
5673s	help with that survivability but it's
5674s	about clearing up this right around here
5676s	less than 30 seconds now on the clock
5678s	neck run it's gonna be a really rough
5680s	one for the Florida Mayhem to get
5681s	through they have to be able to use this
5682s	Nano boost and the pulse ball and it's
5684s	cycling through the survivability or
5686s	don't banana boost now you activate the
5687s	Primal gear from Fearless as Merit now
5689s	on the tigron he's the one with an atom
5691s	who's put on to him from Rupal they lose
5693s	out control on it'll be nice to see that
5694s	Raid Battle earlier on with troll on
5696s	being alone with the Nano boots but
5697s	that's not gonna be the plan happy
5699s	sending out the bullet bomb getting that
5700s	stake finding her ball checkmate's gonna
5702s	be able to find shoes so it's a back and
5703s	forth Transcendence from Violet to help
5705s	boost the Outlaws move away to the Recon
5707s	test here it doesn't look like the
5709s	Florida ma'am are gonna be able to put a
5710s	toe on this point oh they're gonna try
5713s	though you've got the chorong Lucio
5715s	coming back but that looks like it might
5716s	be it oh no here Florida Mayhem no
5720s	bodies left to touch the point the fist
5723s	bump the aggression from the Houston
5725s	Outlaws to take map number two while
5728s	they're sitting already at match point
5729s	necra
5731s	that was a quick map there coming
5733s	through and pretty decisive from the
5735s	Houston Outlaws that was Florida
5737s	mayhem's map pick as well but the fact
5740s	that the Houston Outlaws are able to
5742s	force these dives into the ramatra
5745s	they're really able to get some nice
5747s	work done with that and I'd really like
5748s	to see the Florida Mayhem at this point
5750s	as a last-ditch effort to keep their
5753s	series dreams alive
5755s	try to go toe-to-toe with the Winston
5757s	also the impact that we saw from the
5759s	sombros like Pelican had 14 enemies
5761s	hacked meanwhile Philly Checkmate only
5763s	had like four or five at that point it
5764s	was very difficult to let Checkmate to
5766s	work into that win con the floor Mayhem
5768s	really wanted to excel in with the emps
5771s	here losing out on another map now it's
5773s	Florida Mayhem living off their last
5775s	lives potentially but so much on the
5778s	line here with the Houston Outlaws
5779s	really feeling themselves and it's about
5781s	those disengagements they're so good I
5783s	know I went to disengage they lose out
5785s	on one body that's already enough for
5787s	them to try to take a different angle or
5789s	to then try to re-engage when they're
5790s	fully grouped up together I mean Houston
5792s	Outlaws too when they're able to take
5794s	these little penguins
5797s	I don't know they're so cute yeah but
5800s	you know Houston Outlaws when they're
5801s	able to force these fights these 2v ones
5803s	remite or these 1V ones that just the
5806s	raw mechanical skill that the US and
5808s	outlaws are putting down is really
5810s	difficult for the Florida Mayhem to deal
5812s	with when they're not able to play
5813s	grouped up with a brawl composition
5816s	that's what the bra is so good for as
5819s	you can see Fearless exhibit a of how
5821s	he's able to isolate a lot of these
5823s	targets can't get any sight lines onto
5826s	the team
5826s	and then on King's Row here too Fearless
5829s	just gets to get into position so quick
5831s	Florida Mayhem still trying to stick to
5834s	this Ram comp as well and we saw at 1.2
5837s	someone in the situation actually had
5839s	used the annihilation and stepped off
5840s	the point just ever so slightly allowing
5843s	the use of Outlaws to then capture that
5844s	point when they were the ones on the
5845s	attack that time around here too
5847s	Fearless also being able to isolate the
5849s	back line and get the follow-up with
5851s	happy was beautiful let's also not
5854s	forget the time when they were on the
5855s	attack Pelican was literally just
5857s	running it down here on King's Row
5858s	without getting interrupted no one
5860s	really to check him there
5863s	Paul hitting some nice sleeves though I
5865s	love the impact we're able to feel from
5868s	the honors on both sides whether shoe
5871s	whether it's RuPaul shoe though with the
5873s	Nano boosts able to find so much value
5876s	and this goes back to what we're saying
5878s	the impact between Pelican the emps
5880s	coming in that allows them to find
5882s	RuPaul's a first pick to deny the Nano
5884s	boost that would have been online for
5886s	that fight so much here that is being
5888s	dipped between the Houston Outlaws and
5890s	Florida now we get to move on to map
5892s	number three necra and we are going on
5894s	some Rialto
5897s	that's an interesting choice from the
5899s	Florida Mayhem I feel like the Houston
5902s	Outlaws are able to do a great job on
5905s	Rialto yesterday despite the fact that
5908s	it was a loss versus the Atlanta rain
5910s	yeah I we also haven't seen this coming
5913s	out from the Florida Mayhem yet this
5915s	tournament I will be able to dance it up
5916s	here on Rialto on the other side of this
5918s	break you don't want to miss it because
5919s	like Houston Outlaws are currently
5921s	sitting at match point
5927s	[Applause]
5930s	[Music]
5933s	thank you
5936s	[Music]
5957s	thank you
5959s	[Music]
5969s	foreign
5970s	[Music]

6117s	[Music]
6128s	[Music]
6134s	way up
6135s	[Music]
6138s	Houston currently poised to meet the
6141s	Atlanta reign in the finals to take the
6144s	trophy home they are currently sitting
6146s	at match point two to O right now versus
6148s	the Florida May I'm in the lower bracket
6150s	finals Florida Mayhem have had a tough
6152s	goal of things in this particular series
6154s	looked really close on an Arctic
6156s	Peninsula but even on their map pick of
6158s	King's Row
6159s	Houston Outlaws had a very very dominant
6162s	performance and now we're going to be
6164s	heading over to potentially the final
6166s	map in the series NECA on their map pick
6169s	that they were undefeated on currently
6171s	in the season until that moment right
6174s	there so you know trying to go for a
6177s	comfort pick that didn't work out in
6179s	their favor now moving on to Rialto that
6181s	could be a confidence Buster there
6183s	really could be a confidence Buster you
6184s	know that you've been able to put up the
6186s	numbers on that map but this is going to
6189s	be another chance for the Florida Mayhem
6191s	to get back into the series but Rialto
6193s	is kind of a head scratcher for me they
6196s	haven't picked this map at all when it's
6199s	come to the mid-season Madness
6200s	Tournament we've seen most of their play
6202s	on shambali Monastery too pretty
6204s	middling success but maybe they're
6206s	trying to switch things up here as we
6208s	head over to Rialto
6210s	see if they can get it done see what's
6212s	going to work out for them too you know
6213s	they've been really trying to force out
6215s	this Ram here and that was what we were
6217s	kind of expecting going into the
6218s	mid-season Madden's been seeing a lot
6220s	more RAM Incorporated from the West how
6222s	is that going to fare against ABAC I
6224s	mean we know how that story played out
6225s	but now seeing the Outlaws playing to
6228s	what Fearless does best playing in that
6230s	Winston what's really interesting about
6232s	the Houston Outlaws approach to this map
6234s	is we don't have any subs coming in from
6235s	either team Houston Outlaws have the
6238s	ability to play gargoyle in their roster
6240s	very well known for the diva we see a
6242s	lot of Diva play on this map in
6244s	particular but we actually didn't see
6246s	the Houston Outlaws do this yesterday
6247s	either versus the Atlanta rain they
6250s	ended up playing Fearless on the Winston
6252s	which is something that we're going to
6253s	end up see them hover over at the very
6255s	least
6256s	[Music]
6256s	[Applause]
6258s	hear the crowd
6261s	they are cheering on their teams right
6264s	now there's been a lot of love there for
6266s	the Houston Outlaws as they are going to
6269s	get ready to make their attack push but
6271s	the Florida Mayhem are going to set up
6273s	on this ramatra brawl once again
6276s	three except Merritt on the Widowmaker
6278s	things might get a little spicy I love
6280s	it I love it even whenever we see
6282s	oh oh we're committing we're committing
6285s	okay
6289s	he tried but that was a really great way
6292s	to be able to get the concussive Blast
6293s	Off try to push the Florida Mayhem back
6296s	do a little bit of scouting and then go
6298s	back to spawn to be able to lock in this
6300s	Tracer pick but what an aggressive
6302s	backline here for the Houston Outlaws
6304s	Merritt dancing around just trying to
6306s	call a pelican who he knew was there you
6308s	can hear the shuffling sometimes the
6310s	silver gets a little too close to you
6311s	here backing away in time while Pelican
6313s	manages to get away
6315s	feels gonna have a lot easier time and
6317s	getting right back to The High Ground
6318s	here and they're trying to pinpoint
6319s	Merit as I mentioned earlier you love
6321s	hearing the crowd go crazy when you see
6322s	that one hit scan shot nailed down on
6324s	the head here and fearless falling
6326s	incredibly low forcing him to back away
6327s	in time but the health pack was also
6329s	denied by Checkmate he took it before he
6331s	was able to get to it and finally gets
6333s	hit with a nice ante having to backfile
6335s	it away here and wait for the rest of
6336s	the Houston Outlaws for Fearless this is
6338s	one of the big issues of trying to play
6339s	against the Tracer right if they are
6341s	able to be a little bit quicker to the
6343s	punch be able to grab those Health packs
6345s	but Houston allies if they're able to
6347s	get set up here a pelican could hack
6349s	those to make sure that Fearless has
6351s	access to them in the future but wow
6353s	Pelican just has merit's number right
6356s	now does not want to let that Widowmaker
6358s	get set up one pick from Merit could be
6361s	disastrous for the Houston Outlaws
6363s	attack trying to extinguish the campfire
6365s	on this High Ground here for merit so
6366s	that way America can feel a little comfy
6368s	RuPaul is doing a really good job too to
6369s	just be a Saving Grace holding his hand
6372s	raiding the friendship bracelet here
6374s	together here to make make sure that
6375s	Pelican isn't an issue but while Merit
6379s	is set up it's going to be difficult for
6380s	shooting Violet to close in that Gap the
6382s	Nano boost is going to enable Fearless
6383s	Alpha Mountain violent finding Merit
6385s	finally the Target that they've been
6386s	trying to nail down from the beginning
6387s	now it's gonna Force the Florida Mayhem
6389s	to collapse right underneath them
6391s	Checkmate on The High Ground here too
6393s	just try to work magic in someone's
6395s	taking a nap while the rest of his team
6396s	is back in the spawn someone is just
6398s	trying to stall the card for as long as
6400s	possible he is able to get back to the
6402s	cart before this is going to reach the
6404s	checkpoint but he allowed some time for
6406s	the Florida Mayhem to be able to respawn
6408s	so that they can get ready for this next
6411s	defensive attempt they did buy a lot of
6413s	time off the clock as well you have the
6416s	sights being activated here from there
6418s	you get a lot of really nice Intel on
6421s	where the Houston Outlaws are going to
6422s	come from but Houston are coming in with
6424s	a lot of vaults Vicky I'm looking at
6426s	that EMP from Pelican right now their
6428s	harassment America was good the rush
6430s	also activated here projection two
6432s	chorong with the rally Fearless also
6434s	activating the Primal is zooming away
6437s	here gonna be able to reposition just
6438s	immediately right afterwards nice anti
6440s	again once from RuPaul I like installing
6442s	up to him again so right now finding
6444s	three gets into position to find
6445s	Checkmate someone and chorong right
6447s	after that rally was done from the
6448s	Florida ma'am it was a Houston owls
6449s	against healing away to help out both
6451s	true and violet and then waiting for the
6452s	rally to end re-engage here to EMP now
6455s	someone has the annihilation enough time
6457s	bought in and that's gonna be space as
6459s	Fearless tries to run away he's still
6461s	manages to survive I don't even know how
6463s	he managed to live because I think it's
6464s	the Nano Boost from shoe meanwhile happy
6467s	while all the attention from someone's
6469s	on the front line was able to get that
6470s	pulse bomb Pelican now also finding
6473s	someone for the Mayhem it's the split up
6475s	scrappy fight once again that we saw on
6477s	King's Row excelling in favor for
6478s	Houston Outlaws
6482s	able to get this first checkpoint they
6485s	had to throw everything that they had in
6487s	the bank to be able to get that cart
6489s	over the line but it was worth it in the
6491s	end you have three minutes now to work
6493s	through this second checkpoint Merritt's
6495s	still trying to get set up on The High
6497s	Ground here but happy
6499s	happy looking for somebody in the back
6502s	you're really looking at chorang and
6503s	RuPaul right now it's the best targets
6506s	for that but merid also just constantly
6508s	hacked every single time Merrick can't
6511s	breathe you can't take a break and shoot
6513s	finding jorong and that nice ante right
6515s	after that here amazing Nate from shoe I
6518s	mean I'm not surprised here yes they're
6519s	gonna be able to find shoot but that's a
6520s	trade that they're absolutely gonna take
6521s	with the backlight deleted from before
6522s	demand look at how aggressive Violet is
6525s	getting with the kitty CO as well oh my
6527s	God that's why all the treasures be
6530s	crying they all know that situation that
6531s	girl oh he just walked right into the
6534s	sight lines of violet and into the
6536s	loving arms of the kunai Violet is able
6539s	to just get so slippery when it comes
6541s	down to being able to use the Swift step
6543s	eventually Merit is able to take him
6545s	down and that's gonna delay the attack
6547s	push for the Houston Outlaws just a
6548s	little bit as you see them kite away try
6551s	to disengage but Florida Mayhem don't
6553s	want to give this up goodness the double
6555s	whammy the pulse bomb stick to someone
6558s	deleting shoe right afterwards
6560s	restabilizing here the Florida Mayhem
6562s	finally it's the Houston Outlaws getting
6564s	called out between fearless and shoe but
6566s	we're also gonna have Fearless coming up
6567s	with the Primal soon Primal Rage and the
6569s	Kitsune rushes well that's gonna be a
6571s	really nice alternate to be able to lay
6573s	down right in front of that second
6575s	objective Houston Outlets have to get
6577s	there though even if you don't lay it
6579s	down there you're able to at the very
6580s	least be able to use it to try to push
6582s	the Florida Mayhem back
6584s	it's all of this exactly then play out
6586s	here earlier too Fearless activating the
6588s	Primal gonna be able to use that speed
6590s	boost to just move all the way up but
6591s	he's taking a nap it is RuPaul that's
6594s	gonna be able to find that sleep someone
6595s	wakes him up here too as Merritt is just
6597s	trying to reposition as well Merit
6599s	finding Violet is gonna be big and
6601s	that's why he's been the primary target
6602s	for the Houston nailed down someone's
6604s	gonna be able to find fearless and that
6606s	plan immediately shut down they use the
6608s	rush they use the Primal and now you
6611s	have less than a minute on the clock to
6612s	get to that second checkpoint and
6613s	they're getting staggered they are
6615s	getting staggered here which is going to
6617s	delay their ability to get back to
6620s	points those Pelicans trying he's trying
6623s	he's been doing this for a couple of
6625s	fights now but at the very least you
6626s	know get a little bit of car progress
6628s	maybe get a little bit more damage to be
6631s	able to get this EMP online he was
6633s	already only a couple percentage away
6634s	but now that you know that you have this
6636s	ultimate Pelicans going to be looking to
6638s	get into position for this one as this
6639s	is the last chance for Houston to try to
6641s	get the second objective and as the Hail
6642s	Mary that everybody's trying to pull off
6643s	here or two with the echo because
6645s	Merritt has been on that high ground and
6647s	this EMP now deletes him following up
6650s	it's gonna be Fearless here and they
6652s	have shoes Nano boost to try to claim
6654s	that second point if it could be the
6655s	nail in the coffin they have to deal
6656s	with chorong's rally and someone still
6658s	has the annihilation for the
6659s	survivability Houston playing against
6661s	split up and they got to put up toe on
6663s	that payload because he's got less than
6664s	five seconds to force the overtime well
6667s	it's gonna be two seconds remaining is
6668s	anybody on the car it looks like
6669s	somebody's gonna be able to get there
6670s	but there is a contest finally going
6672s	down here first and the annihilation
6674s	that was being held onto from someone is
6676s	gonna be able to find the back line here
6677s	putting that extra pressure Houston
6678s	Outlaws nowhere to be seen here to
6681s	continue the push on this part Florida
6683s	mayob are gonna be able to clear this
6684s	out and Happy's gonna be the last one to
6686s	fall here it's one by one as they
6687s	trickle down necro but the Houston
6689s	Outlaws they were trying to cycle
6690s	through these different picks but they
6692s	couldn't really nail down the problem
6693s	they got him a few times that was their
6695s	primary focus and it was gonna be Merit
6697s	well I wonder if they should have put
6698s	their focus on somebody else it wasn't
6701s	working to try to Target down Merit
6703s	there yes you're able to Stave off the
6705s	pressure of that hit scan for just a
6706s	little bit longer but at the end of the
6708s	day you're really looking at someone's
6711s	room Matra that was just putting in so
6713s	much work Houston they struggled against
6716s	that strong defense from the Florida
6718s	Mayhem that looked really clean from
6720s	them to be able to play around these
6721s	stairs as well as these pillars on the
6723s	second Point yeah there was two
6725s	instances where when they did find the
6727s	opportunity to even use the katsune rush
6729s	into a fearless's primal they were able
6733s	to find Merrick twice during that second
6735s	checkpoint point and in that moment
6738s	someone had Annihilation those two times
6740s	and that's what was able to clear out
6742s	the point forcing Houston allos
6744s	eventually split up and one by one they
6746s	were picked off especially the back line
6747s	between Shu and violet they were feeling
6749s	the pressure of the annihilation trying
6750s	to give someone that space that way it
6752s	could run out here to take a look at the
6753s	replay his Checkmate and we're gonna get
6755s	that sticky and then finish off what was
6757s	left of shook here
6759s	that was the problem mate was the
6761s	problem Merit yes a little bit of a
6762s	problem to try to Tool against this
6765s	aerial unit from happy as happy did
6767s	switch over to the echo towards the tail
6769s	end of that round but Checkmate was
6772s	really the big issue putting up that
6774s	damage on the Tracer maybe you know not
6777s	too far off from what we ended up seeing
6779s	coming in from Pelican onto that
6781s	particular pick as well but just like
6783s	basically doubling the damage I mean
6785s	that that's tough yeah Pelican
6787s	survivability is is definitely there but
6789s	that was better yeah it was it was
6790s	Checkmate that was doing a really good
6792s	job at also trying to help peel for this
6794s	back line as we get to see set up
6796s	already go on oh no check out erupting
6799s	air for him RuPaul is the first one to
6801s	get taken out while Houston Outlaws are
6803s	holding on to this High Ground this is
6804s	why you have happy being able to play
6805s	the hit scan whether it's the Hanzo
6808s	whether it's the Widowmaker these are
6810s	heroes that happy excels at and that's
6812s	why you're able to put Pelican on
6813s	something like the Tracer and have them
6815s	swap rolls a little bit when it comes
6816s	down to who plays the Tracer and the
6818s	Sombra Houston almost have to give away
6821s	a little bit of Leverage on this point
6823s	though oh
6824s	we got it the double heady and Charlie
6826s	was able to put down annihilating happy
6828s	here great advantages to set Florida
6830s	ma'am up on the driver's seat as someone
6832s	gets hit with an auntie from shoe now
6834s	trying to claim onto this High ground
6836s	it's Merit trying to deal the pressure
6837s	from Fearless who by the way we talked
6839s	about the ram ditto now coming in
6841s	between both these teams nice anti now
6843s	coming in from RuPaul to Fairless happy
6846s	that Patrol on still find happy again
6849s	now they're gonna be able to nail down
6850s	how they get some Revenge enough that
6852s	they were just trying to nail down Merit
6853s	but now the GPS line up before Mayhem
6855s	have been taken out of this equation
6856s	it's a violent engine who are upset
6858s	trying to retake this High Ground so she
6860s	was able to keep control of The High
6861s	Ground now able to help heal up the rest
6864s	of the Houston Outlaws that are
6865s	available Happy's gonna be able to get
6867s	back into the mix very quickly but
6869s	Pelican just kind of locking down those
6871s	sight lines right now throwing out the
6873s	pulse bomb is Happy is able to take
6875s	advantage of the setup and that's why
6878s	Trump was trying to deal with him
6880s	because happy is very happy setting he's
6883s	feeling himself
6884s	he's smirking he's absolutely smirking
6887s	Merit meanwhile then finds Violet it's
6890s	the trade-off here
6891s	1v1 between Merit and happy in the setup
6894s	happy has the sights available this is
6896s	going to put some pressure onto the
6898s	Florida Mayhem to just lay low for a
6901s	little bit they don't want to get taken
6902s	out by happy happy has been able to get
6904s	a first pick after first pick on this
6906s	round and if he's able to get another
6907s	one with these sights active it's not
6910s	good for the Florida Mayhem
6912s	it's activated see where Checkmate is
6914s	here don't worry he's going to be at
6916s	back end
6918s	Fearless trying to take control over its
6920s	High Ground while the rest of the
6921s	Florida Mayhem try to contest him on it
6922s	and fearless now be able to find merit
6924s	with an animals being put on to him he's
6926s	about to get the annihilation he has it
6927s	ready here
6928s	but he's already forced the rest of the
6930s	floor to maima off this Hydra and it's
6931s	fine it was all aboard man trying to
6933s	contest fearless and he's absolutely
6935s	gonna take that because nekker look at
6936s	the time back he got a minute in less
6937s	than 30 seconds now and Florida Mayhem
6939s	are just getting their first ultimates
6940s	online in this round they have a lot to
6943s	be able to work with though really
6944s	looking at something like the
6945s	annihilation from someone to help push
6947s	Fearless back but Fearless has one too
6950s	as well as you have the rally that's a
6952s	huge difference between the two
6954s	compositions that are being run right
6955s	now you like to talk about the
6956s	survivability Violet's going to be able
6958s	to have that in Spades as the rally
6960s	comes online for this defense and Char
6963s	wrong with the kituna rush has to be
6964s	able to put the push that back see how
6966s	they're gonna be able to use this with
6967s	less than a minute now Dragon sent out
6969s	someone taking in all that damage he's
6971s	got the annihilation ready oh the pulse
6973s	on put in but nice retaliation with the
6975s	Nano Boost from RuPaul someone
6977s	activating the annihilation means that
6978s	Fearless gets taken out right afterwards
6980s	right when you're down 40 seconds left
6983s	here Fearless couldn't use his own
6984s	Annihilation drives the back away in
6986s	time for someone then finds Violet right
6988s	after happy literally running away with
6990s	his life but it's fine they're gonna
6991s	give this space or the Florida map so
6993s	that way they can get set up on The High
6994s	Ground here looks like there's a bit of
6995s	a contest coming through though as
6996s	Happy's gonna take a rotation around now
6998s	that Fearless gets to come back with the
6999s	annihilation as well the coffin here for
7002s	Florida they have to run what the EMP
7004s	though okay yippee coming in here too
7007s	the ante onto Fearless but the
7009s	annihilation isn't gonna be enough
7010s	Florida Mayhem with a good fight from
7013s	the Houston olives to delay the
7014s	inevitable they finally get this first
7016s	point to add some extra time in the time
7019s	in overtime though you've got two and a
7021s	half minutes now for the Florida Mayhem
7023s	to be able to reach that golden Fox of
7025s	Victory we have to see a bit of a swap
7027s	up though and that's going to be
7028s	absolutely big because Florida Mayhem is
7030s	going to go back to basics this is a
7032s	composition that they ran on Antarctic
7034s	Peninsula they're very comfortable with
7035s	this especially knowing that RuPaul has
7037s	some great sight lines to be able to
7039s	shoot that coalescence down once it gets
7041s	online
7042s	working into their strengths with the
7045s	rush
7047s	or to Mayhem trying to contest Houston
7049s	Outlaws also on this High Ground hat
7051s	coming in from Checkmate onto shoe
7053s	Checkmate back in way right now before
7055s	it just translocates out of danger
7057s	that's gonna work into the EMP that they
7059s	want here as well fighting on that
7061s	catwalk Bridge here it's gonna be
7062s	Pelican having to back away but Fearless
7064s	putting in a good amount of pressure
7065s	here without wavering off you have to
7067s	take a look at Checkmate who's
7068s	constantly being a pest on this back
7070s	line splitting up some of that attention
7071s	is going to allow the rest of Florida
7072s	ma'am to walk through look out for this
7074s	Nano boost though Shu has a great Target
7076s	and fearless right now as you're looking
7078s	for him to be able to hold down the
7079s	front line
7080s	hack onto chorong who's about to get the
7082s	sound barrier
7083s	nanoboost here from Shu like you
7085s	mentioned he's getting set up in the
7087s	back you still have to worry about
7088s	Checkmate he's doing a really good job
7090s	at trying to split that attention
7091s	Annihilation online for someone
7094s	playing around the wall pillars here
7095s	golden bots of Victories right there as
7097s	a Vortex comes out and Shu puts down
7099s	banana boost on so Fearless but it costs
7101s	his life as he finally tries to help him
7103s	out with the rally it's not gonna be
7105s	enough here it's the trade-off because
7106s	they lose it on chorong which means the
7108s	sound barrier not gonna be useless here
7110s	either the EMP will find for Paul
7112s	someone in Merit Merit has the death
7114s	Blossom and finding Violet here to clear
7115s	up that space they have less than a
7117s	minute now left on the clock and Pelican
7119s	is the next one to go down
7120s	it's gonna be on to happy to try to
7122s	stall out this card as long as possible
7124s	Violet's gonna try to get back here on
7125s	the Batiste to at least be able to lay
7127s	down the immortality field but Fearless
7128s	is gonna have to make this Annihilation
7130s	work
7131s	oh yeah peanut coming in and even though
7133s	the United States online the immortality
7135s	feel for Violet helps keep Fearless
7137s	alive oh my goodness with the
7140s	annihilation Fearless putting in the
7141s	damage but he has got no support the
7143s	backlight gone because Merritt had the
7145s	death Blossom Freddy he fights show and
7147s	violet happy retaliates get the ball
7149s	from fake but never it's not gonna be
7151s	enough here Florida Mayhem are in this
7153s	series and they take Rialto
7156s	great ultimate execution coming in from
7159s	the Florida Mayhem to keep themselves
7161s	alive in this series their tournament
7163s	lives are on the line here and they're
7165s	playing like it
7166s	married at the end with that death
7170s	Blossom even though he got picked off by
7172s	happy he took out the problem that was
7174s	shoe and violet
7176s	look at the face of the use of Outlaws
7177s	they're still sitting at Match Point
7179s	RuPaul is there taking a deep breath
7182s	with a mini pop-off before they hydrate
7184s	here but the Florida Mayhem coming in
7186s	with the comp that they feel comfortable
7188s	with and finding the success at the very
7190s	end making the adjustments that they
7191s	needed it was a smart switch up as well
7193s	knowing that you're gonna be playing in
7195s	those Close Quarters especially on The
7197s	High Ground by the stairs of that second
7198s	point that Reaper applies so much
7201s	pressure to the remotra on the other
7202s	side that you don't really have a choice
7204s	except to try to back up and get away
7206s	from that damage but that space really
7209s	allows those DPS choices on the side of
7213s	the Florida Mayhem to have that space to
7215s	work with and with the death awesome
7217s	coming at the very end too you saw him
7219s	getting into position the EMP had been
7220s	Unleashed already at that point he was
7222s	able to get follow up here too you'd
7224s	love to see the fans also getting really
7225s	excited but that was also
7231s	and that's actually really impressive
7233s	from the Florida Mayhem as well they
7235s	were able to hold on to the aggression
7238s	wait for taurang to come back they
7239s	didn't even need the sound barrier to
7241s	try to finish out that second point
7244s	actually insane there it was going back
7246s	and forth a little bit too at one point
7248s	like it's all about the positioning that
7250s	we saw from the Florida Mayhem at the
7252s	very end
7254s	wow what a series we got here necra
7256s	can't wait to see some of these replays
7258s	here that was played out unreal so but
7261s	it's the comeback I don't know why
7262s	Florida Mayhem love to play like this
7263s	right Decker like we can't constantly
7265s	see them making these comebacks and
7267s	whether it's a reverse Suite that we
7268s	currently see from their opponents they
7269s	always are playing with their lives on
7271s	the line and it's so stressful to watch
7273s	it's always map fives it's always map
7276s	fives with both of these teams
7278s	and hopefully it's not houstonable this
7280s	time around Houston Outlaws though we're
7283s	going into push as our next game type
7287s	oh my God Houston doesn't have to play
7288s	this very much they just haven't had to
7290s	play the push very much and we know the
7293s	unfortunate circumstance when it comes
7294s	to Florida and these push Maps here too
7297s	the odds are are stacked against them
7299s	here but this may be the momentum that
7301s	they needed to sway back into their
7302s	favor we saw what a problem Checkmate
7305s	was you highlighted it before on that
7307s	first round here too someone with the
7309s	annihilation is going to clear up that
7310s	point until they made the swap ups
7312s	between Merit to swap right over onto
7315s	that Reaper deal with happy at the very
7317s	end over time ticking away here
7320s	but even chorong that we saw get the
7322s	double heady oh that was insane finding
7325s	Happy who still was enabled at some
7327s	point to get debris set up in this point
7329s	and this is where they denied most of
7330s	the time away they did deny a lot of
7333s	time here but Florida Mayhem ultimately
7335s	had all of the tools to be able to work
7338s	with so many ultimates on the board at
7340s	the right times as well to be able to
7342s	make sure that they were going to be the
7343s	second to hit and we are rondoing round
7346s	of wooing back to New Queen Street
7348s	Within These two team matchups this is
7351s	something that we've seen before necron
7352s	Houston Outlaws came out on top we're
7355s	gonna have to see how this plays out now
7356s	as we move on to the next map currently
7359s	USANA still sitting at match point and
7361s	we'll come back with the next map on the
7362s	other side of this break
7365s	[Music]

7541s	foreign
7548s	[Music]
7560s	keep their chances alive to claim that
7563s	trophy themselves because now I'll still
7566s	sit at match point right now and we are
7568s	moving on to new Queen Street which has
7570s	some interesting stats necro between
7572s	these two teams uh yeah Outlaws are
7575s	undefeated on this map Atlanta rain
7577s	ended up actually playing against them
7579s	yesterday and despite the fact that they
7581s	had some really interesting pics coming
7583s	through on the side of the Atlanta rain
7585s	Outlaws were able to have dominant
7587s	control of this map in particular and it
7589s	makes a lot of sense why they would want
7591s	to take them here and we've seen a lot
7593s	of struggles from the Florida Mayhem
7595s	over all on pushes of game modes yeah
7597s	between Esperanza which in general I
7599s	mean Florida Mayhem may be their demon
7601s	out here don't have that nice record the
7604s	Houston Outlaws are repping I mean alone
7606s	for this weekend they are sitting at an
7608s	O2 stance looking at the Florida Mayhem
7611s	side of things so very difficult
7613s	situation to come back from but also you
7616s	just won the previous map you've had two
7618s	days to figure out what you got to do
7620s	differently here on push
7621s	hopefully that's going to be enough time
7623s	for them to work with to make those
7624s	adjustments I think a lot of what
7626s	Florida Mayhem have really needed to be
7628s	able to do is just rely on their
7631s	intuition a little bit more I mean look
7633s	at checkmate's Stats here on the Tracer
7635s	he has been able to put up some numbers
7637s	and while yes we talk about the Atlanta
7639s	rain having one of the best tracers in
7641s	the entire league right now Sombra as
7643s	well you can't count out Checkmate
7644s	because even coming into this particular
7646s	tournament he was second in a lot of
7649s	stats fourth top five yeah easily top
7652s	five look at the polls one with Patrick
7654s	6.7 that's above average always trying
7658s	to mark down shoot and violet if he has
7660s	that chance you talked about it actually
7662s	a little bit unreal so when uh we saw
7664s	Houston Outlaws try to nail down Merit
7666s	as the problem meanwhile Checkmate was
7667s	enabled opening up their backlines here
7669s	while they were so fixated on trying to
7671s	dive on to Merit well Checkmate was
7673s	really that problem there it's bull
7674s	spawn attachment is beautiful see that
7676s	5900 hero damage done and uh currently
7680s	getting set up right now it's gonna be a
7682s	map that they have to conquer
7684s	this is going to be a tall tall task
7686s	though Houston Outlaws I mean it was
7689s	very Scrappy yesterday but one of their
7691s	keys to success on this map in
7693s	particular is being able to play a very
7695s	aggressive back line Jake was talking
7697s	about it a little bit on the desk
7698s	yesterday but you look at something like
7701s	the Anna and Kirito that shoe and violet
7703s	respectively are able to bring out of
7705s	their back pocket and we've seen how
7707s	that's been able to work in this series
7709s	so far with both of these teams trying
7711s	to make sure that they are able to get
7713s	into the back line I mean violence
7715s	kiriko is kind of nuts so kind of yeah
7719s	it is insane like look look at the
7721s	harassment he's able to do in the back
7723s	line too he's able to wall climb play
7725s	very slippery make sure he's getting
7727s	some great damage into the actual back
7730s	line of Florida Mayhem and then Fearless
7732s	comes in and Cleaves yeah I know we saw
7734s	for half of King's Row but also seeing
7736s	Violet Zen always gets me excited here
7738s	to see you however I see that too yeah
7740s	see how that goes down here saying that
7742s	the comp that we're gonna roll out
7743s	something in the Floor of ma'am
7744s	obviously finding the success on where
7745s	they feel comfortable with is that Rush
7747s	as we get started potentially on the
7750s	last map now necra Houston Outlaws once
7752s	again are sitting at match point
7753s	[Applause]
7763s	it gets me so hyped up because it really
7766s	could be the final map of the series to
7769s	see who will be moving on to face off
7771s	against the Atlanta rain in the grand
7773s	finals of our mid-season Madness
7776s	tournament and we're gonna see a bit of
7778s	a switch up here someone coming out on
7780s	the doomfist we saw Fearless on this
7782s	pick to be able to kick off this map
7783s	yesterday but it's going to be the
7786s	anakiriko for the Houston Outlaws the
7788s	Lucio kiriko from the Florida Mayhem
7790s	Florida trying to play a very aggressive
7792s	game with these Dives and look at their
7794s	positioning already you highlight
7795s	aggressiveness they're already
7796s	positioned on top of the team cards
7798s	right above the bot which is a great
7799s	position to hold on to as shoe gets
7801s	punched right out of the window right
7803s	now trying to fight for his life but
7805s	it's not gonna be enough look Checkmate
7807s	on the wrestler man they rolled out and
7809s	they were able to find shoe but that's
7810s	gonna cost RuPaul's life nice hat coming
7812s	in from Pelican because immediately the
7814s	Houston Outlaws had answers being put
7816s	into a different position while in
7817s	Florida man were we're kind of following
7818s	up together when they escape through
7820s	that window Houston Outlaws are going to
7822s	be able to get control of this spot
7823s	first and it's starting to look a little
7826s	bit treacherous here for the Florida
7828s	Mayhem especially when Houston Outlaws
7830s	they lost shoes so early but Violet was
7832s	able to focus changes Focus onto healing
7835s	the team a little bit more he's already
7836s	75 percent to the Kitsune Rush right now
7839s	versus RuPaul's 34 almost double of
7842s	what's going to be seen here as Houston
7844s	Outlaws are starting to get that halfway
7846s	point to the first checkpoint we know
7847s	that shoots been a problem especially
7849s	without consistent he is on sleeps and
7851s	sure I'm going down versus Shu once
7853s	again gets shut down denying that old
7856s	charge opportunity into the Nana boost
7858s	that Houston Outlaws want to play into
7859s	especially looking at the EMP coming up
7862s	closely by Pelicans nearing the 80 Mark
7864s	as happy unleashes the pulse bomb is
7866s	gonna be able to find someone and his
7867s	only Escape Route covered but Houston
7869s	Outlaws are playing around that despite
7871s	the fact that shu is going down you're
7873s	still able to keep the pressure going
7875s	here as look at the Kitsune Rush look at
7878s	pelic in the back line right now of the
7880s	Houston Outlaws they got Florida ma'am's
7883s	plan playing aggressively and put it in
7885s	the dumpster and said now that's ours
7886s	and now we're seeing a swap up from
7888s	someone playing the diva I mean we've
7890s	seen Diva blader before to try to take
7891s	over The High Ground here but
7893s	um right now Houston Outlaws look at the
7896s	progress that they've made they're about
7897s	to round up to that first checkpoint but
7899s	the Moira too Florida Mayhem are so
7901s	behind on their ultimate generation they
7903s	really need merits EMP to be a big
7906s	threat in this next team fight ah that
7909s	Swift's up Mr La Vista here as the EMP
7912s	comes in and it finds Checkmate and Char
7914s	wrong and that's the EMP charge that we
7916s	talked about earlier on that Houston
7917s	Outlaws were going to play into since
7919s	they already had the advantage Pelican
7920s	and happy are going crazy getting the
7923s	hack two on the health pack here over to
7924s	the back it's gonna also enable Houston
7926s	Knowles to take this forward position
7927s	but Pelican being able to hit the EMP
7929s	First Merit has had a problem this
7932s	entire tournament finding the right
7934s	opportunity to be able to use these emps
7936s	done already the consumer Rush gonna be
7940s	off the board for this next fight
7942s	and that's gonna be more time Twisted
7944s	away as EMP now comes in all right it's
7946s	the trade-off year it's gonna be Violet
7948s	going down next
7949s	EMP hitting onto three shoes still
7952s	surviving
7953s	old enough for along with Checkmate
7955s	gonna be able to find that pulse bomb
7956s	and fearless falling low and he's got no
7958s	sustainability we talked about the
7960s	health pack being hacked here and it's
7962s	not going to be able to help out
7963s	Fearless small Health he could have used
7964s	the Primal Rage there he did have that
7966s	available but it's something that you
7968s	would rather hold on to especially when
7970s	you know you've got the closer spawns
7971s	here as well everybody's back on the
7973s	board before that has been shut off by
7975s	the Florida Mayhem Violet going down
7977s	though Merit may be starting to get on a
7979s	roll here when it comes down to being
7981s	able to outmatch Pelican right now on
7984s	that EMP chart Big pick on a happy two
7987s	Florida Mayhem they need to start
7989s	getting some progress down with that
7991s	meter Ridge and this might be the
7992s	opening to do so check against Tracer
7994s	Here Kitty goes so good the damage
7996s	output and all you need is that 150
7998s	damage out here is Pelicans gonna find
8000s	Merit
8001s	nice change up too because then you're
8002s	gonna have Pelican having the EMP old
8004s	charge advantage while the Violet they
8006s	take it off by someone making this Diva
8008s	pick work here playing around bubbles
8010s	also very nice to see you get to
8012s	immediately reposition before you reset
8014s	from the diva bomb also just waiting for
8016s	the rest of Florida map to come here I
8017s	like the plan and the way that Florida
8019s	name are positioned himself in terms of
8020s	timing too
8022s	happy has forced to recall though has
8024s	the post bomb online it's looking for
8026s	someone like chorong to stick that onto
8028s	or at least be able to force out
8030s	oh
8032s	narrowly escaping the man who's now
8035s	after avoiding that coalescence we know
8036s	Jones will be able to get that online to
8038s	get soon but a huge EP finds forever
8041s	he's just had proof all here are we
8043s	gonna get the fall of though potentially
8044s	no no follow-up here forcing Pelican
8047s	away Houston Outlaws a little bit split
8049s	up here before ma'am are trying to match
8051s	them with that Florida Mayhem had a lot
8053s	of those Mobility cooldowns online when
8054s	Pelican hit the EMP as well the trouble
8057s	wrong able to fade away Merit now able
8058s	to clap back hey you know even with that
8060s	One EMP that's all you need because
8062s	you've denied the rush you get the
8064s	trade-off because now Merit gets taken
8065s	out here too as well as a hack put onto
8067s	someone but you'll just be able to
8068s	reposition right afterwards recall from
8070s	Checkmate he's waiting he's got the
8072s	pulse ball ready can he send it out if
8073s	he has the opportunity with you being
8074s	right there this doesn't even need to
8076s	use it he's got some help with someone
8078s	they're gonna take care of Shu too look
8080s	at the progress of seesaw on this
8082s	pushbot job's not done yet though
8083s	Florida Mayhem at this point need to at
8086s	least be able to get this next
8087s	checkpoint otherwise it's gonna be
8089s	really tough to claw back from someone
8090s	said picking up Pelican though that's a
8092s	great way to be able to stim a little
8094s	bit of that pressure especially with the
8095s	EMP but however kisuna restaurant
8097s	violated to try to make up for that lack
8099s	of players but looking for a man just
8101s	being able to kite away from there just
8103s	reposition in the split area on both
8105s	High grounds on the train car inside of
8108s	that building Fearless getting hacked
8110s	here by Merit Checkmate still holding on
8112s	to this pulse bomb waiting for the
8114s	opportunity as soon a rush now gets
8115s	called in from a ball so your ball now
8117s	taking advantage of this trying to give
8119s	some support over to someone who has a
8120s	diva bomb so that way they can go for
8122s	the reset but that's without cholon
8123s	going down without using the coalescence
8126s	themselves it's fun check beat finding
8128s	the back line as the Houston Outlaws are
8131s	trickling down falling like a pair of
8133s	dominoes they're gonna be able to unlock
8135s	that first checkpoint for the Florida
8137s	Mayhem as well so very close to starting
8139s	to be able to match that progress in the
8141s	Houston Outlaws you still have a couple
8143s	of tools to work with as well Checkmate
8145s	putting in so much work that he has
8147s	another pulse bomb online for this next
8150s	fight that could be detrimental for the
8153s	Houston oh no it falls down oh we didn't
8157s	have the two step here too I don't know
8158s	they knew that there was two right there
8159s	in the EMP on top of that someone
8161s	doesn't have an ability to reset you
8163s	didn't have the diva bomb it's a matter
8164s	of time where he gets reset and this is
8166s	going to be the Houston Outlaws using a
8168s	lot here they had the EMP they used the
8170s	Primal they take over this team Fight
8172s	Win and they're gonna be able to now put
8173s	the bot back in their favor
8175s	it's really important that they were
8177s	able to deny Florida Mayhem from getting
8180s	the leg up in this map they shut off
8183s	those forward spawns as well as the bot
8185s	starts to go back into their own
8186s	territory but Meredith is another EMP
8188s	looking for the perfect opportunity to
8190s	be able to use this right now is she's
8192s	also getting set up with the coalescence
8194s	trying to stay out of that line of sight
8196s	that's going to be the answer to that
8198s	EMP that they're going to want to use
8199s	but she uses the coal lessons first here
8201s	getting away in time ready use the bay
8204s	that can be communicated here for the
8205s	Florida Mayhem and that's exactly what
8208s	they do the answer the EMP deny the rest
8211s	of the goal lessons and isolate shoe
8213s	Violet tries to enter back with the
8214s	consume Rush as he gets hacked right
8216s	afterwards now currently you see Merit
8219s	you see Checkmate and they are following
8221s	with each other beautifully here someone
8223s	sacrifices themselves but it was all
8225s	worth it here as a Florida Mayhem are
8227s	able to retake this bot but going back
8228s	to the neutral Houston Outlaws are
8230s	already back on their feet gonna be able
8232s	to get back into this one so quickly
8233s	especially when Pelican has been doing
8235s	so much work in the back line that
8237s	another EMP is almost online but she's
8239s	got to be careful almost got hacked out
8241s	and caught with his pants down without
8242s	the fade he faded so quickly I was like
8246s	that is not my problem in that situation
8248s	here is he manages to get to safety
8250s	Pelican with the EMP finds the back line
8252s	huge here if we can get the follow
8253s	withdrawal with the gold lessons keep
8255s	group home live subson on this Diva has
8258s	had so much success now finding Fearless
8261s	the follow-ups here allowing Torah to
8264s	keep someone alive and to enable him to
8266s	keep holding forward
8268s	the bot is moving so quickly back into
8270s	Florida Mayhem territory you get a
8272s	chance to start pushing it forward now
8275s	with someone with the diva bomb
8276s	available can play so aggressive you
8278s	know that you're able to have that get
8280s	out of jail free card
8281s	[Music]
8286s	not having a good time in these past few
8289s	seconds now another clean wipe from the
8292s	Florida Mayhem look at this look around
8294s	the lead
8296s	They're Gonna Take the Lead here this is
8298s	really important for the Florida Mayhem
8300s	especially now that we're getting into
8301s	one minute remaining territory that
8305s	means that Houston Outlaws are gonna
8306s	have to win three fights in order to be
8308s	able to have a decisive Victory on this
8310s	map and we'll take the series three two
8313s	is down three to fight two and then the
8315s	EMP doesn't matter if Violet was already
8316s	low it's about four single Houston
8319s	Outlaws to Triple out to stagger them we
8321s	still get the retaliation for the used
8323s	Outlaws we see them fine too throwing on
8325s	someone out of this fight and RuPaul may
8327s	meet them back in the spawn when you
8328s	have Fearless primaling in your face
8330s	here now with Houston Outlaws despite
8333s	losing out on that back Lane to start
8334s	off that fight they're still able to
8336s	take this more aggressive position that
8337s	you currently see Fearless in Florida
8339s	Mayhem can still play keep away with
8341s	this bot though they have the lead it's
8343s	30 seconds remaining and they're really
8346s	looking at toront to try to get a
8348s	coalescence online but with happy with a
8350s	pulse bomb this might slip through
8353s	Florida mayhem's fingers looking for an
8355s	opportunity to get that post down and
8356s	with another EMP coming up soon it's
8358s	gonna be a huge decision maker here too
8360s	sorry Pelican trying to form that EMT
8362s	charge onto someone originally shoes got
8364s	that Nano boost and someone's incredibly
8366s	low seeing this battle between uh
8368s	someone and fearless has just been
8369s	insane now you have less than five
8370s	seconds
8372s	foreign
8386s	manages to survive and on overtime you
8388s	got to stay on this but this is gonna
8390s	Force you lose to the Outlaws to play
8392s	around this area and that's completely
8394s	fine with that Storm still uses the
8396s	whole lessons but there's now three
8397s	members is this gonna be enough here
8399s	with an Adam who's put on to Violet this
8401s	could be it this could be it no
8403s	reinforcements with the Florida Mayhem
8404s	available and stress gonna be
8406s	embarrassed no way no way no way there
8408s	was right there too oh but it was too
8410s	late Houston albums with the timing the
8414s	timing of that one so good for the
8416s	Houston Outlaws and with the win on new
8419s	Queen Street that puts them right back
8422s	into the finals against the Atlanta
8424s	Reign trying to get the repeat they
8427s	gotta get it done now Vicky they gotta
8430s	get it done now
8432s	I cannot believe the ends right there
8434s	Houston Outlaws with the dub getting
8438s	closer to obtaining that trophy
8441s	themselves necro sitting in the grand
8443s	finals to play against the Atlanta brain
8446s	to get the Revenge that they need
8448s	Pelican by the way in the last game
8450s	alone he got like 36 hats oh my God
8454s	just the DPS the DPS of the Houston
8457s	Outlaws went absolutely sicko mode when
8460s	it came down to being able to clutch
8462s	that out for their team weather was
8464s	happy it's like I just kind of talk
8467s	about happy as well just the amount of
8469s	pressure he was able to put onto the
8470s	back line Houston Outlaws were so set up
8473s	for success in this match
8476s	the story is written itself we're just
8479s	watching the destiny unfold
8481s	seeing who's that was deny the script
8484s	from the Florida ma'am of loving these
8486s	game five situations says no at the very
8489s	end staying on that bot
8491s	and taking that map was so close necra
8494s	and even seeing at the very end RuPaul
8496s	with the final stride of just using that
8498s	coales and seeing what he could get done
8499s	but you already lost it on three it was
8501s	a really rough situation for the Florida
8503s	Mayhem to come back from but what an
8505s	excellent example of why new Queen
8507s	Street was picked there from the Houston
8509s	Outlaws to try to close out this series
8511s	they have such a great understanding of
8513s	the map where the health packs are where
8515s	they can start to take these fights how
8517s	to funnel their opponent into these
8519s	close spaces
8521s	they got so much done and now they get a
8524s	chance to get that Revenge Vicky there's
8526s	Grand finals his Grand finals is gonna
8529s	be so fun to watch and that also closed
8532s	the door on Florida Mayhem sitting in
8534s	third they had such an insane
8536s	performance highlighting the fact that
8538s	they went down in that first round
8540s	against Hangzhou spark then playing that
8542s	lower bracket run like demons to get to
8545s	this lower bracket finals they put in a
8547s	lot of work and they also looked great
8549s	on that pushback in comparison to the
8551s	previous push map attempts that we saw
8553s	from the Florida Mayhem so Props to them
8555s	for making the adjustments that they
8556s	needed what a good point to bring up
8558s	that incredible lower bracket run there
8561s	by the Florida Mayhem this is a team
8563s	that they started out their season so
8565s	strong winning the Pro-Am being able to
8568s	show so many different looks really
8570s	showing their progression and evolution
8573s	as a team throughout the course of this
8575s	first half of the season they were able
8578s	to take down the Los Angeles gladiators
8581s	make the lower bracket run there yeah
8583s	The Knockouts in order to even get to
8585s	this point the scrappiness of the team
8588s	Gotta Give it up for the Florida Mayhem
8590s	their commiserations to them but
8592s	Fearless come on now let's re-celebrate
8595s	the Houston Outlaws being able to make
8597s	it to the finals yeah I said at the very
8599s	end you know the most entertaining fight
8601s	to seeing the someone versus Fearless
8603s	play out here and fearless is just so
8605s	crazy and we talk about this all the
8607s	time but look at this even the terms of
8609s	just following up between the hacks the
8612s	nanoboost Primal into the combo into
8614s	finding so much space in that second
8616s	point there too dealing with the ram
8618s	Rush at one point one of Florida's best
8620s	comps that they could run out the only
8622s	Western team that really has been able
8623s	to find their footing on a composition
8625s	like that and dealing with it
8626s	appropriately even someone who came out
8628s	first on that push map with the doomfist
8630s	had to immediately swap over to the diva
8632s	and despite even finding that success it
8635s	was Fearless that was able to take care
8637s	of someone at the very end as we take a
8639s	look at the stats survivability right I
8641s	keep bringing this up because it's
8642s	always so crazy to talk about here four
8645s	deaths here you got final blows a point
8648s	0.2 that's fine you enable the rest of
8650s	your DPS but the elims here 19 elims
8652s	it's so much like Fearless is putting in
8655s	so much work it's no question why we
8657s	tout him as one of the best winstons in
8660s	the entire league especially knowing as
8663s	well just the amount of pressure you're
8664s	able to put on not only with the Winston
8666s	and the front line but also the back
8668s	line look at the aggressive stance that
8670s	the backline of the Houston Outlaws were
8671s	able to take in this match and also just
8673s	some of the previous matches one of the
8675s	first teams to really start to rely on
8677s	the Moira and the kiriko to try to flank
8679s	around with Fearless on the Winston I
8682s	get it I get why you know he was on the
8684s	lineup for the K-Pop group that we had
8685s	going on earlier I mean he really is
8688s	fearless at the end of the day and he
8690s	puts that name to the task here Fearless
8692s	is such an insane player and now we get
8694s	to see him shine in an excellent series
8696s	that we have on our hands coming up next
8698s	Necker I cannot wait to see how this
8700s	Grand finals is going to play out and
8702s	there's a lot to break down after that
8703s	preview series we saw some Life coming
8705s	in from the Florida Mayhem it just
8707s	wasn't enough to bring in the script of
8709s	playing in these game five situations
8711s	you don't want to play your life on the
8712s	line here Houston Outlaws are absolutely
8714s	gonna take that walk and get closer to
8716s	that trophy guys that was the first
8718s	series in the lower bracket finals we
8720s	got Grand finals on the other side of
8722s	this break you don't want to miss it

8965s	have more things to look forward to not
8968s	just the skin we also have a fantastic
8969s	winner interview standing by with Danny
8973s	and Pelican sorry thank you so much I'm
8975s	here with Pelican for the Post match
8976s	interview with Houston Outlaws versus
8978s	Florida Mayhem I'm going to move by very
8980s	quick I want you to take that break for
8982s	the Grand Final so Pelican how'd you
8984s	guys get it done
8993s	foreign
9004s	honestly going into the match you know
9006s	we were not scared of the Florida Mayhem
9007s	but surprisingly they were really good
9009s	so uh but fortunately we were better and
9011s	we I am just uh thankful that we did get
9013s	the win uh you know I think this as the
9016s	series went on Florida had a lot of
9017s	different and in unique looks I think we
9019s	we saw some Ryan Cassidy and all the way
9022s	up to new Queen Street uh they were
9023s	pulling out the diva what was sort of
9025s	the Houston Outlets answer to all those
9027s	interesting comps uh
9030s	um
9048s	foreign
9061s	it was definitely something there were
9063s	some weird cups from the Florida Mayhem
9065s	and that definitely threw us off guard
9067s	they sort of forced us to even pull out
9069s	our own Moira as well but that didn't
9071s	really work out for our team we had to
9073s	go back to the Anna break but thankfully
9075s	at the end that did work out and with
9077s	that you guys are going to the Grand
9079s	finals one final match against the
9081s	Atlanta Reign it's a rematch from
9083s	yesterday what can the Houston Outlaws
9085s	do differently this time around to get
9087s	the win
9089s	Atlanta uh
9110s	yesterday we just went all the way to
9112s	the end it was so close uh we were just
9115s	so disappointed that we had to lose when
9117s	we went to uh the map five but this time
9119s	around we're confident that we could get
9121s	the win I honestly believe other than
9122s	stalker there's no other great players
9124s	on the Atlanta Reign so we are going to
9126s	get the win all right Pelican I'm Gonna
9128s	Let You Go thank you so much and good
9130s	luck on the grand finals
9134s	I think hi team Dave thank you so much
9137s	Falcon thank you so much Danny fantastic
9140s	interview great to hear from him Pally
9142s	as you lovingly call him because you
9144s	guys are like this
9146s	I think so yeah you don't tell me
9147s	anything
9148s	I like that he's got that confidence
9150s	against everyone I mean I I agree
9152s	stalker I think he's putting on the best
9153s	performance for the raid I don't know if
9155s	I'd say they don't have any other good
9156s	players but I think that's that's
9157s	exactly the mindset you have to have oh
9159s	yeah as well keep going into this match
9160s	you can't put too much respect on your
9162s	opponents especially when they're you're
9163s	both Elite teams like you have to be
9165s	believing in your Dives believing you
9167s	can you can take down anybody yeah
9168s	that's talk about the Houston Outlaws I
9171s	mean yes they won against the Mayhem it
9174s	wasn't a clean sweep have there been any
9177s	moments which made you worry especially
9180s	looking ahead now going up against the
9182s	Atlanta right I mean the fact that they
9183s	played so closely on a Toyota Peninsula
9185s	that control map could have gone either
9186s	way and that really opens up the series
9188s	right like who knows how this series
9190s	unfolds if Houston Outlaws win or lose
9193s	this first map rather now they did kind
9195s	of feel comfortable playing this world
9197s	composition that's obviously why the
9199s	higher seed Houston Outlaws they went
9201s	towards Antarctic Peninsula but Florida
9203s	Mayhem they gave them a run for their
9205s	money on this composition and so that
9207s	might be something where if you go up
9209s	against the Atlanta rain maybe you don't
9211s	feel as confident in Houston Outlaws
9213s	brawl compositions Houston outlaws
9216s	they're still hedging towards that
9217s	Winston towards that Sombra Tracer and
9219s	that's what we're going to see most of
9220s	the time shoe and violet another
9222s	fantastic series by them playing the
9224s	brig on a composition so Florida man I
9226s	still think it was a respectable
9228s	performance they went down playing this
9230s	broad conversation they they played Diva
9232s	Moira kiriko or new Queen Street and it
9234s	was honestly a good look for them it was
9235s	a really close push map but for them I
9238s	don't think they shouldn't have any
9239s	regrets about this series I think they
9241s	should feel pretty proud about what they
9242s	put forward and winning this Rialto
9244s	Against The Outlaws yeah I think I think
9246s	they played a magnificent series I don't
9248s	think Florida should be hanging their
9250s	heads you know this is still a team that
9251s	in the right meta maybe like a true Rush
9253s	meta where that's the Dominican they
9255s	seem to be really scary I think the
9257s	supports came up huge for the squad
9259s	everybody playing at a top level and I
9261s	think a lot of players a lot of people I
9263s	think rather would have doubted players
9264s	you know like Checkmate I think people
9267s	didn't realize I think to the extent
9268s	which chorong is very very flexible had
9270s	plays on carico this series that looked
9272s	really solid especially on Rialto so I
9275s	think really proud of Florida Mayhem I
9277s	think they made a great showing
9278s	impressive they got here and had such a
9280s	great result in the end but now it's
9282s	time for the two teams we know as the
9284s	titans of the league to to fight it out
9286s	for first place this is what we've been
9287s	waiting for this is I think the expected
9289s	finals honestly I expect this to be the
9291s	grand finals of the Season overall too
9292s	but still I think these teams really I
9295s	mean who else can face them right like
9297s	these teams are Elite no you don't know
9298s	what the playoff battle will be you
9300s	don't know what the medal will be we've
9302s	learned that the medic can be shaken up
9304s	Jake it might not be Winston okay the
9306s	season Grand finals is a long way ahead
9309s	it is but also it is and I think a lot
9312s	of the teams which are currently on the
9313s	top they have shown a lot of flexibility
9315s	and we know that the individual players
9316s	they have a deep player pool uh or a
9319s	hero pool rather so you know I think if
9321s	you can make it in this meta which is I
9323s	think very like skillful versatile and
9326s	skillful I think we uh you you can get
9328s	away with more than just one comp right
9330s	so I I wouldn't expect too big of a
9333s	shake up either way we're gonna find out
9335s	first things first so we need to Crown a
9337s	mid-season Madness champion and you know
9339s	now that we have our finalists it is the
9342s	fairy time uh for us here off the desk
9345s	and that is to gloat or go down in shame
9348s	because we made fantasy brackets heading
9350s	into this week on day number one uh we
9353s	uh we presented how we think everything
9356s	is gonna unfold so let's take a look
9358s	again and see which one's age like fine
9360s	cheese milk fine literally the finest of
9365s	all milks Zoe
9367s	um not bad not bad yeah that's good
9370s	that's good yeah pretty much you only
9372s	missed like basically one match right
9374s	yeah the first Mayhem spark pretty much
9376s	everything else yeah they messed up the
9377s	lower bracket but otherwise yeah but
9379s	like not five months no right yeah they
9382s	they figure it out and look at the
9384s	important ones right so yeah yeah like
9385s	everything and lower semi-finals upper
9387s	finals I I so there is no reason to dab
9390s	my grand Finals Prediction of it 4-1
9395s	in the winners final they got one more
9397s	map than you thought they would
9400s	find okay mine I don't think aged well
9401s	from what I recall uh
9412s	that is that is a true man if if Mayhem
9416s	wins the series you're looking like
9417s	bragging rights are off the charts but
9419s	yeah they didn't yeah yeah I uh I think
9421s	I was a little too crazy with this nah
9425s	just crazy enough just crazy enough
9426s	speaking of which
9431s	that's the thing I I took a risk I'm the
9434s	only one uh printing a different
9435s	Champion here you're the winning
9436s	operator yeah you have the winning upper
9438s	yeah of course they're gonna win I mean
9440s	all right
9441s	and Boston yeah yeah I have Boston still
9444s	being yeah yeah and Florida going down
9446s	yeah okay okay I made some mistakes but
9448s	it'll all be redeemed allies if that's
9452s	what matters no one for No One remembers
9454s	who you prep for second place that's why
9457s	we do that we keep receipts No One's
9459s	Gonna remember that no I'm not strong
9463s	I'm actually a lot of
9465s	people thank you Johnny what'd you go I
9467s	don't remember why brackets look like so
9468s	I know what that went I don't have to
9470s	win there you go oh there you go yeah
9472s	Atlanta wins four two wow the Boston
9475s	opium is uh yeah
9479s	like severe faith in one potato
9482s	everyone under the na top four I did
9486s	kind of Believe In Sport for a little
9487s	bit Yeah Yeah
9489s	Boston winning three-year-old yeah look
9492s	I I why they pick Kings roll why they
9494s	gotta put King's role man questionable

9500s	a here and then they went to yeah I
9503s	don't know I would have found a
9503s	Hollywood pick but you know whatever oh
9505s	man

9523s	how many brackets are still going no no
9526s	no no no
9528s	everyone's dead I mean mathematically
9530s	it's very unlikely I don't think we ever
9533s	handed out six years I don't think
9536s	you've ever had a perfect yeah yeah
9537s	because you have to guess the math score
9539s	right it's like so hot right it's like
9540s	yes I mean you got to be some some sort
9543s	of wizard you can get this you can run

9895s	World Cup of course is coming up very
9897s	soon and it will be featuring quite a
9900s	few of our owl Talent as well so uh I am
9904s	excited Johnny you actually got to cast
9905s	uh yeah

9915s	so some European teams made it through
9916s	the qualifier stage yeah I'm psyched for
9918s	the World Cup you're having you know
9920s	anything particular team I'm impressed
9923s	uh uh Team Iceland hey team Isis yeah

9932s	one first of course I was like Hey thank
9935s	you to your DMs what did you do yeah
9938s	yeah Portugal were fun as well Portugal
9941s	were fun so uh Denmark just looking like
9944s	they're one step above all so Denmark
9946s	might even qualify for uh the World Cup
9949s	playoffs so we'll see how that goes it's
9951s	difficult for him to say it's a Swedish
9952s	man uh yeah but at this point I mean we
9954s	had like a Denmark Sweden show match and
9957s	Denmark beat us and um look maybe I'm

10127s	enough problems already
10133s	so we fly upstairs space through
10135s	anything that gets in our way
10140s	I hate to interrupt the moment but I'm
10143s	picking up reports of more attacks in
10145s	other cities
10147s	it's a fight day one I say let's give it
10150s	to him
10154s	[Music]

10163s	time to create peace
10172s	[Music]
10187s	[Music]
10192s	the world is coating on us
10196s	[Music]
10205s	yo so much High board content coming in
10209s	August but this very Wednesday June 21st
10214s	mark your calendars our players will
10216s	actually get to see a first look at new
10218s	gameplay footage from the biggest season
10220s	of OverWatch yet and we've got Invasion
10222s	reveal stream dropping this very
10223s	Wednesday so go to play orwatch.com for
10226s	more information on all of that uh Jen's
10229s	Invasion includes story missions we got
10231s	a new co-op event featuring new enemies
10233s	as well as objectives a hero Mastery of
10236s	course is a big one as well and uh the
10238s	new game mode
10239s	flashpoints how hyped are we
10243s	I'm very excited
10245s	I'm stoked this is gonna be amazing it's
10248s	like controlled but different I think
10250s	Flashpoint has has actually a really
10251s	good potential to be like a new favorite
10253s	game mode I felt the same way about push
10254s	honestly I think like it added a lot
10256s	more dynamism to the game and I think
10258s	just the scale of the maps and the the
10260s	fact that you're moving through them in
10261s	unique ways that's totally new for
10263s	OverWatch right most maps are relatively
10264s	linear like you're fighting here and the
10266s	next fight is going to be in the next
10267s	spot and you kind of know where that is
10268s	but the idea of having to like kind of
10270s	Traverse maps in an unexpected way and
10273s	and I think that's going to add so much
10274s	versatility to the game and and how you
10276s	approach it I think it has real
10278s	potential to be like the best game mode
10279s	actually I like new new good news
10284s	map allegedly Swedish map hi Gothenburg
10288s	let's go
10289s	previous train station in the world I
10293s	hear I said it the Gothenburg one yeah
10296s	that's a take I think it's beautiful all
10299s	right yeah I just I'm complimenting you
10301s	I can't say that I have great
10303s	understanding of the global train
10304s	station
10306s	in the global Tran
10309s	stations it's pretty high up OverWatch
10312s	has good representation of strong public
10313s	transit systems that's the that's the
10315s	positive vision for the future that I'm
10317s	I'm a big believer in actually it's one
10319s	of the most important things we want to
10320s	discuss you know but that's actually a
10322s	kind of recap what we know about
10323s	Flashpoint uh it is a brand new PVP core
10327s	game mode it will be featuring two new
10329s	locales uh OverWatch 2's biggest PVP
10332s	maps to date so as you said we have a
10334s	lot of different Avenues to like
10336s	Traverse those Maps uh so that also
10339s	means that you get to really explore a
10340s	lot of different corners of the maps I
10341s	feel like the maps you know which have
10343s	always been so beautiful but a lot of
10345s	places in the maps have not been really
10347s	yeah explored like you don't really go
10349s	to Every Corner no I thought I just had
10351s	the the custom game makers making like
10354s	the RPG game modes and stuff are gonna
10356s	eat good these maps are gonna be like
10357s	giant playgrounds for people to like
10359s	make crazy Custom Creations which has
10361s	also been really awesome and OverWatch
10363s	do all the workshop stuff yeah but I
10365s	think the core game mode itself is just
10366s	it's really exciting to have a game mode
10368s	I think to to shake things up I think
10371s	push what was that awesome thing to
10373s	bring in OverWatch 2 and now we're
10374s	getting another one I think it makes me
10375s	really excited for the future and and
10377s	new categories of maps you might see
10379s	yeah absolutely and uh if you're
10381s	watching and you're anything like us I
10383s	know that you want to learn much more
10384s	about Flashpoint so again make sure to
10386s	tune into the upcoming Invasion reveal
10388s	stream Wednesday June 21st 21st okay
10391s	yeah
10392s	21st I'll remind you I'll remind you
10395s	yeah
10397s	content on the stream there's a lot
10400s	they're going to unpack which is super
10402s	exciting uh oh two developers will be
10404s	revealing the locations and backstories
10406s	of the true Premiere maps for Flashpoint
10408s	which is super exciting there will also
10410s	be deep diving into hero Mastery uh mode
10413s	as well as a chat about like the player
10416s	progression system for example so there
10418s	is a lot of things I think people are
10420s	just very excited to hear more about me
10423s	included and I know what you're thinking
10425s	you're watching Flashpoint when is it
10429s	coming to the orange League oh well
10431s	we're very excited to announce that the
10433s	news game mode will be officially in the
10436s	our map Pool starting the weekend of
10439s	August 25th Market calendar is a set in
10441s	reminder for you again I'm gonna send
10443s	you a text message that's right we
10445s	honestly cannot wait to see the best in
10448s	the world show their skills on the news
10450s	biggest maps in Orange to thus far but
10452s	first we've got a championship Crown
10454s	here so let's get ready for the finals
10456s	between Atlanta rain and the Houston
10458s	Outlaws now Jonathan we've seen both of
10460s	those teams facing off against each
10462s	other already yesterday it was a nail
10464s	biter like that series was so close came
10467s	down to the wire can you maybe walk us
10469s	through the just the the difference
10472s	you've seen between the two teams in
10475s	terms of their PlayStation
10478s	Okay so here's the thing if you're
10481s	watching these two teams play they're
10483s	playing the same compositions but
10484s	they're actually playing a little bit
10485s	different so I just wanted to Showcase
10487s	or highlight that difference rather as
10489s	we go into the series so you sort of
10491s	know what's coming so where are we well
10493s	we're right here on Elios it's 99 to 99
10495s	and so this is going to be the last
10497s	fight territory here you can already see
10499s	the Atlanta rain they're set up they
10500s	have Point control and they have to
10502s	control this space but what is so
10504s	interesting here is that you're actually
10506s	going to see them utilize the lips EMP
10508s	to go aggressive super early here while
10511s	they already have put in control so as
10512s	we can roll this one forward we can see
10514s	that they're willing to push far and
10516s	above the point just to be the initiator
10519s	in this fight so they're going to come
10520s	out here and we can pause right here so
10523s	stalker immediately gets a pick because
10525s	of this early EMP and this is great but
10527s	also what this forces is shoes no no on
10531s	top of fearless so not only are you
10534s	getting a pick in this fight even if you
10536s	don't get a picky this early engagement
10537s	you force out the non abuse from Houston
10539s	outlaw you force Houston's hand so if we
10542s	play this one through okay Violet is
10545s	down but Fearless has this no no now and
10547s	he's forced to try to make it work but
10549s	we can pulse right here I mean he is
10551s	already fighting on the point but
10553s	because you're playing so far back
10554s	because Atlanta engaged so early I mean
10557s	he's not even touching Fielder by the
10559s	time he tries to make use of these
10561s	donovos he doesn't have the range to
10563s	reach the back line because this
10565s	knowledge was forced so out early so we
10567s	can slowly go forward here slowly go
10569s	forward and you'll see another detail
10570s	that the Sombra lift is actually already
10572s	going to be right there we can pause
10574s	well he's gone he's a Sombra so you can
10576s	see right there lip is already in the
10578s	back line because you engage so early
10581s	lip can already peel back by the time
10585s	the dive comes in from the Houston
10586s	Outlaws so because you initiate early
10588s	you force out Houston Outlaws ultimate
10590s	and you control so much space that one
10593s	time when the dive comes in you can peel
10595s	straight away and this is really bad for
10597s	the Houston Outlaws now this can also
10599s	work for them in the series we can keep
10600s	playing this one out you'll see that the
10602s	Atlanta rain they're going to clean up
10603s	this fight they gotta pick of course
10604s	they forced the ultimate it's a bad
10606s	engage from the Houston Outlaws and they
10608s	can't really do much to stand up against
10609s	this Fearless he's missing a Healer he's
10611s	going to go down and Atlanta is going to
10612s	cap this one out now as we're going
10614s	through this next clip we can pause
10616s	right here so setting the stage
10618s	immediately here left he is dead and
10621s	also happy is that so two key players
10623s	missing here for either team but because
10625s	Houston are missing the Tracer that is
10628s	so much damage onto the point so as we
10629s	play this one out this four versus four
10632s	situation actually favors the Atlanta
10633s	terrain on the point with the extra
10635s	Tracer damage so if you're the Outlaws
10637s	right here we're actually going to see
10639s	them peel back take their time play it
10641s	slowly once more Atlanta Reign being the
10643s	initiator Violet barely survives pops
10645s	the rally and fence of dongak here now
10647s	we're going to go ahead and pause right
10649s	around here on the point The crucial
10650s	detail here for me is that Houston
10653s	outlaws they're peeling the rally is out
10655s	from Violet but also additionally
10656s	they're pocketing Fearless here you can
10659s	see the biotic grenade icon here so he
10660s	gets extra healing from his owner right
10663s	now they're investing so much resources
10665s	into keeping the space here and also
10667s	additionally they're buying time for
10669s	Pelican to build his EMP and they're
10672s	going to use this to counter Atlanta
10674s	Reigns aggression and this is what I
10676s	think we'll see throughout this entire
10677s	series we can go ahead and play this one
10679s	out and lip is going to return remember
10681s	he was dead EMP comes out Pelican Johnny
10684s	on this boat his own EMP and this puts
10686s	Atlanta Reign on the back foot now is
10688s	the time for it uh Houston Outlaws to
10689s	push the tempo go aggressive happy he
10692s	comes in with individual plays pulls
10694s	from there perfectly and the Houston
10695s	Outlaws turned that fight around because
10697s	they react to the Atlanta Reigns play so
10699s	this is how I think we'll see the series
10700s	play out Atlanta Reign being the
10702s	initiator the aggressor and Houston
10704s	Outlaws Legends like Fearless will have
10706s	to respond Violet on the brig he'll have
10708s	to respond and we'll see how the
10709s	reaction unfolds
10711s	take a look at some of the numbers there
10712s	as well as well if we're talking about
10714s	the sombros of course lip he's got to
10717s	look scary by the numbers so how does
10719s	Pelican Stack Up
10721s	I mean pretty respectively in my eyes I
10723s	think I I think we said it before lip is
10725s	the total standard Bearer
10727s	um looks like from my perspective you're
10728s	a pelican these stats he is playing a
10730s	little bit
10731s	um more getting a little bit more
10732s	utility value but lip is just such a in
10734s	such a valuable Rod damage deal ensembra
10736s	he really is the expert at just staying
10738s	in one second longer getting in a little
10740s	bit more damage with his D cloak
10742s	positioning his timing playing around
10743s	his teammates so he just gets that
10745s	little bit more Frontline damage which
10746s	translates into much faster emps but
10749s	Pelican is no slouch either dying a
10750s	little bit less often maybe taking a
10752s	little bit less risks could be a little
10754s	bit more consistent speaking to their
10755s	like defensive style however I do think
10758s	for this series I don't think Houston
10760s	can win with a reactive defensive
10762s	mindset I think and and by the same
10764s	token I don't think Atlanta can win just
10766s	trying to be all in aggression we're
10767s	just going to always go first you know
10769s	that that's the ideal right but you need
10771s	the value you need the utility to
10772s	support that so really I think as we see
10774s	this series go it's going to be very
10776s	very high level OverWatch both teams
10778s	trying to read the game and just Intuit
10780s	whether they should be aggressive or
10781s	defensive in in one moment whether to
10784s	commit to these fights right we've seen
10785s	maps come down to like one player's
10787s	mistake cost to team the map I mean that
10789s	is the margin you're working with one
10791s	little slip up and I mean the other team
10792s	is playing near perfect and and you look
10794s	weak when you make one mistake but
10796s	that's just the margins they're working
10797s	with there really there are no margins
10799s	right there's no margin for error um not
10801s	much room for mistake and I think that's
10802s	what's going to decide the series it's
10804s	going to be a long day for the Outlaws
10805s	I'm a little worried for them honestly
10806s	since it's they had to play a series
10808s	Florida Mayhem made it weird made it
10809s	difficult but if they can reset mentally
10811s	refocus and maybe carry a little bit of
10814s	momentum off that match then who knows
10815s	we could be in for another great series
10817s	as we saw in the winners final yesterday
10818s	how much preparation overnight do you
10820s	think actually went into that Mayhem
10821s	match versus major over analyzer right
10824s	so eyes on the prize I assumed they were
10826s	just like re-watching the tape again I
10828s	think they just watch Atlanta and think
10829s	if we play in a way where we think we
10832s	can correct the mistakes in Atlanta and
10833s	beat Atlanta Mayhem will will be free I
10835s	mean if I'm Houston that's my mindset
10837s	it's like we just watched we watch this
10839s	video
10845s	perspective right Atlanta and them are
10848s	in a tier of their own you shouldn't
10850s	really put any stock in the Florida
10851s	Mayhem Atlanta plays so well where it's
10853s	not about countering your opponents
10855s	right like countering your opponent is
10856s	something you do as a weak team as a
10858s	weak team you try to come up with weird
10859s	strategies to throw strong opponents off
10861s	guard
10862s	um trick them in something maybe they
10863s	haven't seen it before but you get to
10865s	watch every little detail of what they
10866s	do and you're ready for it but may have
10868s	managed to bait Outlaws into a mortar up
10871s	fake there which didn't work out for
10872s	them like obviously this is something
10873s	they cannot do against Atlanta raid yeah
10876s	I mean I look as we go into this matchup
10878s	I might I look I brought out the kiriko
10881s	Bing suggestion yesterday might still
10883s	happen on a couple of points but I don't
10885s	think it's going to be a main thing that
10887s	Houston Outlaws look to I don't think
10888s	they'll be too mindful of the like
10890s	compositional hero SWAT maybe we saw
10893s	Mary come out on a Widowmaker for
10895s	example and I think that was a response
10896s	uh that just the way Houston Outdoors
10898s	like to play so there might be a hero
10900s	pick here and there but I wouldn't go
10902s	into this mindset like expecting Houston
10904s	Outlaws to adapt I wouldn't expect them
10905s	like you need like a different pick you
10908s	I think a mirror matchup is actually
10910s	quite fair and credible for the Houston
10911s	Outlaws and I wouldn't expect like huge
10913s	deviations
10914s	you just have to and if you're looking
10916s	at the maps is going to be the first one
10918s	to play uh depending on who wins or
10921s	loses where where should the match take
10923s	us
10924s	well looking at ilios which again going
10927s	to be the first map Atlanta rain being
10928s	the higher sea they pick them up of
10930s	course Jake so Atlanta rain feeling
10932s	really confident on this map I mean they
10934s	won it yesterday and convincing 2-0 on
10935s	the opening map like why change it up I
10937s	think it's a map that pretty much forces
10938s	like the dive mirror as you said the
10941s	comp that I would want to for outlaws to
10943s	throw in if they want to mix things up
10944s	is actually a comp that we've seen
10946s	mostly Florida Mayhem I think be the
10948s	initiators of which is the Anna Brig
10950s	remotra
10951s	um and then you know whatever DPS suit
10952s	the map I think that comp I don't like
10955s	it in the rush mirror I think in the
10956s	ramacha mirror a Lucio Reaper may I mean
10959s	you kind of get run over as the honor
10960s	break I just don't think you do enough
10961s	but as a pure anti-dive strategy I think
10965s	there is real potential I think for
10966s	instance on ilios ruins where I mean no
10969s	one I mean this was the spark though
10970s	like they could never get to Merit even
10972s	though Atlanta rain I think is a much
10973s	stronger dive team I think that comp
10975s	does make it incredibly difficult to
10977s	dive I think it has good utility as like
10979s	a counter dive style the danger though
10982s	is just how tight and clean the rain
10984s	play I just think they'll be less likely
10986s	to go down to Widow picks and when you
10989s	play these sort of off meta comps and
10991s	you're not getting value off something
10992s	like a Widowmaker it just feels
10994s	unjustifiable you know everyone's going
10996s	to be saying guys like we need to stop
10998s	cheesing we need to like win this match
10999s	on its merits and and it'll be a little
11002s	bit of a weird thing to be the team that
11003s	is quick to swap off because then when
11005s	you do go to a map like a Hollywood a
11007s	blizzard world where you're pretty much
11008s	forced to mirror you there's that little
11010s	doubt in your mind like oh should we
11012s	find a cheese for this like okay you
11014s	know I think that's you don't want to
11015s	you want to find your your opportunities
11017s	to cheese where it's good but if you
11018s	force it too much you you're gonna end
11020s	up giving up the mirror now Danny I mean
11022s	in your interview there with Pelican he
11024s	said the only player to watch out for
11026s	here is stalker looking at this lineup
11028s	of the rain come on I'd respect that
11031s	honestly I mean like like Jake said
11033s	before you know you need to have that
11034s	confidence going up against Atlanta
11036s	right and then of course because they
11037s	already lost once in the regular season
11039s	and again yesterday they're gonna need
11041s	that confidence but
11043s	I think there's more than one pair that
11046s	you guys should be scared of honestly
11048s	yeah
11049s	for example uh
11052s	I don't know just to name a few
11055s	what are what we want to see them taking
11056s	it let's let's assume Outlaws would be
11058s	going down uh the first map they have
11061s	the map Choice here reinforced are you
11064s	happy with the map picks which were made
11066s	yesterday in that match do you feel like
11067s	any of the teams might have like buyers
11069s	remorse on where they took I mean it
11071s	works for Houston Outlaws because
11072s	they've full held at London blizzard
11074s	world right so you feel really confident
11076s	going back to that map but also even a
11078s	map like Hollywood for example we've
11079s	seen Houston Outlaws play some of the
11081s	best Hollywood like we've ever seen
11083s	right so Houston Outlaws feeling really
11084s	comfortable in that matchup I'm curious
11087s	when we get to escort Atlanta rain they
11089s	were comfortable putting hawk in and
11091s	playing Rialto when their audience like
11093s	Havana for example which we haven't
11094s	really seen this one it forces some
11096s	remodel compositions we have a you know
11098s	chambali Monastery for example plays
11100s	very differently from some of these dive
11102s	Maps so I I honestly can't tell you the
11104s	answer because these teams they know
11106s	themselves from their screen time way
11107s	more sample size where they want to go
11109s	but this this is going to be such a
11112s	weird one I don't think that either of
11113s	these teams have any definitive Style
11115s	that works better on some maps than
11117s	others so it really just comes down to
11118s	your comfort picks and I think both of
11120s	these teams have shown that they have
11121s	some maps in in their backyard that they
11124s	feel really good on and they're probably
11125s	catered to those we already looked at
11127s	our brackets so let's bring up our
11130s	predictions see if we stick to our
11132s	bracket I mean you can't because you
11133s	literally got the final prediction wrong
11137s	you have Mayhem going up against Atlanta
11139s	reign
11147s	actually though uh well you know again
11150s	I'm right or die with my Atlanta Reign
11152s	Squad I think they I got this and I was
11155s	not being generous for a few snow at
11157s	last I think yeah
11161s	come on I just think if once they're on
11165s	a roll like it's hard to stop them I
11167s	think the Atlanta rain downloaded
11168s	everything that went wrong overnight and
11171s	they're not going to give Outlaws an
11173s	inch plus they got rest they were able
11175s	to once again Watch The Outlaws play
11177s	Outlaws dropping our map to the Mayhem
11179s	getting baited into like weird wonky
11181s	pigs like nah you can't do that against
11183s	the Atlanta rain you know these two
11186s	teams went up went up against this is a
11188s	third time first time didn't work out
11189s	for Houston second time didn't work out
11191s	for the Houston third time is it I mean
11194s	third time's a charm right it's not it's
11197s	not an anime this is real deal it's not
11199s	gonna happen they might clean clothes
11201s	but I think it's going to be Atlanta
11202s	right oh daddy I love it welcome welcome
11204s	to their lives this is not Anatomy this
11206s	is the real deal you guys all know I'm
11208s	surprised to use now laws but no I'm
11211s	just kidding I still believe I still
11213s	believe I think for a second as much as
11215s	the comps got weird in that last match I
11216s	think happy was on fire I think that's
11218s	going to be a crucial element he's gotta
11220s	stand up the stalkers Tracer it's a very
11222s	difficult task but he looked great in
11224s	that last series he was not floundering
11226s	at off the ls he kept them in it even
11228s	when Mayhem got really weird with the
11229s	comps um I think the key is going to be
11231s	these tight Dives with Pelican Sombra
11233s	the EMP follow-up has to be really
11235s	really clean
11236s	um against the Atlanta rain but I'm a
11238s	Believer I think the Outlaws they I
11240s	think they did really well with their
11240s	picks I think um honestly in that last
11242s	series we saw them play I think Rialto
11244s	was incredibly close could have gone to
11245s	the Outlaws I think I would like to see
11247s	them though for a map maybe we should
11248s	start an Outsource podcast I'm just
11249s	saying maybe throwing a King's Row
11251s	though I really like the honor Zen for
11253s	outlaws I think when they can pull that
11254s	out they look really really deadly I'm
11256s	not sure you you'll be able to against a
11257s	dive team like the rain but it's just a
11259s	just another option in there yeah I'm
11262s	going out now after rain I mean stalker
11263s	is the best racer and I think happy will
11265s	have a hard time standing up against him
11266s	for me the player to actually watch out
11269s	for like you mentioned is actually
11270s	Pelican on the Sombra I think if Pelican
11272s	needs to be really affected with the CMP
11274s	and I think you will need a lot of up
11275s	time when it comes to Hero damage poking
11277s	uh donghack for example on the Winston
11280s	um and just being a nuisance in the
11282s	enemy backline as well I think Pelican
11284s	on the Sombra versus slip on the Sombra
11286s	is the most important matchup in this
11288s	one so I'm keeping my eyes on Pelican
11289s	well one game a left gentlemen A Winner
11292s	Takes home the trophy and 500 000
11296s	Atlanta Reign versus Houston Outlaws

12107s	foreign
12116s	right on a little bit of a pre-matched
12119s	banter right there who bantered better
12122s	who's winning the trash talk game I'm
12124s	impressed with both of them yeah those
12125s	guys are both like like a lot of players
12127s	in OverWatch League their trash talk
12129s	game is weak honestly but but shooting
12130s	were going she you was a positive
12133s	surprise to you just came out of nowhere
12137s	do you think main sports can't talk
12139s	trash yeah plus I would like to have a
12140s	word with you he was and he does it
12142s	would like such a sweet little face
12144s	still it's actually it
12149s	they did that other video going into the
12151s	tournament and someone trash talked to
12153s	Atlanta rain and Geo just like I that
12155s	actually kind of annoys me uh that kind
12158s	of annoys me you're talking twice to us
12160s	I loved you yeah I mean speaking of shoe
12163s	though I I really think he is actually
12165s	going to be such a crucial element in in
12167s	one specific way which is I think he
12169s	needs to bionate this backline we've
12171s	seen that play it's not something you
12172s	could do consistently you know you kind
12173s	of need to just find that moment to
12175s	strike but we talk so much about the
12177s	Synergy between Fielder and Chio they're
12179s	so great at keeping each other up a
12181s	bionade changes that right like it
12182s	doesn't matter how good you are healing
12183s	each other when your your heel is
12185s	blocked so I think shoot there's a ton
12186s	of pressure on him not only to land
12188s	sleeps on the DPS but also to nade the
12190s	background I think he is such a
12192s	superstar Anna maybe the best in the
12194s	world and and I think he can make a huge
12196s	difference for his team in the series I
12197s	mean speaking of pressure is there
12199s	on the Atlanta Reign since they are on
12201s	are undefeated they are coming into this
12203s	as you know the top dog is this an
12206s	advantage for the Houston Outlaws can
12207s	they have a more relaxed approach to
12209s	this I don't know if there is that much
12212s	pressure like unevenly unevenly
12214s	distributed because they showed
12215s	yesterday how close they are to each
12217s	other I don't think one team comes in
12218s	here thinking oh we're the underdog sure
12220s	he's an Outlaws they come from the lower
12222s	bracket right but like at the Atlanta
12224s	rain they're comfortable they beat them
12225s	yesterday now you just got to do it
12227s	again right the Houston outlaws like you
12229s	don't have this big Underdog energy I
12230s	feel like I feel like this is two teams
12232s	that are evenly matched and I think
12234s	they're both eager to go into this one
12236s	feeling comfortable with their play I
12237s	think the big thing though is is someone
12240s	on the Atlanta ring like don't like for
12241s	example he's 17 years old this is rookie
12244s	season now in the finals is he going to
12246s	commit maybe some unforced errors on the
12248s	side of Houston Outlaws you got shoe you
12251s	got the Fielder you got two like these
12253s	are or sorry no I got that wrong but
12254s	they have to use an outlaws like they're
12256s	Fearless he's an overseas Champion the
12257s	grand Finals MVP right they have so many
12260s	players on their team or actually one
12261s	things in the past and Ben in these
12262s	situations before I'm curious if the
12264s	Atlanta terrain will donghack live up to
12266s	the hype now when it matters in the
12268s	final as he's a rookie and only 17 years
12270s	old he does have great such a great
12272s	structure of veterans he like built
12273s	around him though right like that's the
12275s	perfect place in which to be a rookie
12277s	and a team full of rookies I think you
12279s	are in a more tenuous spot people are
12281s	looking for leaders but I don't think
12283s	dong hack is going to be searching for
12284s	that I think there's a lot of players on
12285s	this team who are going to be calm under
12287s	pressure and I think the environment on
12288s	both squads honestly is going to be
12290s	pretty composed right like that's what
12292s	happens when you have all these
12293s	experienced veteran players as you said
12295s	Johnny they've been in these high
12296s	pressure situations before and they've
12298s	performed as well so honestly I really
12300s	think it's just going to come down to
12301s	who has the hot hand on any given moment
12303s	it's going to come down to these crucial
12304s	you know one second little teen plays
12307s	where are you following up on that EMP
12309s	in just that one second before that
12310s	defensive enemy can come down it's going
12313s	to decide the series frankly and I don't
12315s	think either team can play perfectly
12316s	right that's just the nature of this
12317s	comp it's so hard to execute you know
12319s	that well every single time these
12321s	players are going to be edging each
12322s	other out which is those little micro
12323s	plays it's going to be all about who's
12325s	who's better at OverWatch I just don't
12327s	think you can predict this series
12328s	it really comes down to the little
12331s	things here uh Danny any player that
12334s	you're super excited to see in this
12336s	series and why
12337s	I think I think it's the the Tracer duel
12340s	that I'm really looking out for I think
12342s	that's gonna be very interesting for
12343s	Houston Outlets whether it's Pelican or
12345s	happy I think they are definitely going
12347s	to bring that for me and on the other
12349s	side Atlanta rain stalker like uh like
12351s	Pelican said he's one of the scariest
12353s	opponents that he has to face so I think
12355s	that Tracer duel for this matchup is
12357s	something to look out for
12359s	you guys
12360s	again I mentioned the summer matchup
12362s	Pelican I think it's really going to be
12363s	important you mentioned the honor as
12365s	well
12366s	um there's no room for error on any of
12368s	these single rolls uh so it's you if
12370s	there's an error committed you will see
12373s	it very evidently that someone messed up
12374s	right I'm looking out for Sombra in this
12376s	one but you could make an argument for
12378s	any role
12379s	yeah I think it has to be the honor for
12381s	me I think both sides I think Fielder is
12383s	an incredibly stable consistent player
12385s	Chu I think maybe has higher potential
12387s	but it's hard to match the stability of
12390s	a combo like Gio and fielder I think it
12391s	is going to be up to the Houston
12392s	supports to show their lethality and
12395s	their aggression um and maybe flip the
12397s	script on what you were saying Johnny
12398s	about being a reactive passive team that
12400s	that works great in the right situation
12401s	there's something you can vote with you
12403s	right like overnight you're like we need
12404s	to change this up they can definitely
12405s	change the tempo going through this one
12406s	yeah and we you know I think it for me
12408s	I'm going to be really watching for
12410s	these bio needs I think it's a crucial
12412s	cooldown whether you use it to just keep
12414s	yourself alive or you're able to throw
12416s	it and pick off an enemy backliner it's
12418s	a game-changing skill from both sides
12420s	and I think both teams are very much
12422s	going to be looking to play around it
12423s	both in terms of forcing it out and
12424s	getting as much value as they can when
12426s	it does come down and it's just so
12428s	exciting to see them play it out in
12430s	front of a home crowd we are in Seoul
12433s	South Korea Danny what does this mean to
12435s	those players I mean it's their Hometown
12437s	right the most of all of these players
12439s	are
12445s	you've been there for a couple days
12449s	a couple days food in your system right
12452s	you're definitely right now you're a
12454s	Korean I mean it's I'm I could only
12456s	guess I mean it's it would definitely
12458s	feel great to be in front of a home
12460s	crowd and you're finally playing the
12462s	game that you love in front of your fans
12464s	right I wrote those are the fans though
12466s	I know everybody headed over together
12468s	events they start booing
12471s	they don't do a lot of no there's a lot
12474s	of cheering yeah those are just lovely
12475s	they're they're their favorite teams
12477s	yeah yeah the funny thing is if you guys
12479s	I don't know if you guys noticed a
12480s	beginning of a match there's like a chat
12482s	going on what basically the fans are
12483s	saying it's they count down they say the
12485s	team's name and then they say fighting
12487s	so it's three two one or one two three
12488s	in Korean that's how how they count one
12491s	two three uh Houston Outlaws fighting
12493s	and then the other team goes one two
12495s	three uh Atlanta Reign fighting how do
12497s	they decide who goes first that is it's
12499s	very respectful you never see them step
12501s	on each other's toes
12503s	there's like the the three leaders that
12506s	they have an agreement yes
12512s	that's all off camera you wouldn't know
12514s	until you're there so that's why you
12516s	should get your tickets for the next
12518s	event wow some will be so disappointed
12523s	why not why not no but it's just
12526s	fantastic to see an event on this scale
12529s	again
12533s	the real winner is all of us because we
12536s	get to see all those cheer meons uh
12537s	those cheerfuls is so much fantastic art
12540s	from incredible yeah like there's so
12544s	many
12546s	next to each other
12548s	one was definitely better than the other
12550s	where are you not everyone I would be
12552s	mine would look worse than either of
12553s	those two so I'm just happy to be here
12555s	man there's a lot of Great Signs and I
12556s	know uh Matt Mr X is he's been studying
12559s	up on Korean so I'm really excited to
12561s	see if he could actually read those yeah
12563s	same very very excited he's already like
12566s	bilingual uh some of you have already
12567s	you're gonna do this question in Spanish
12570s	okay now he's added Korean to his
12572s	repertoire which is just very impressive
12574s	speaking of impressive things as you see
12577s	Violet and shio also a battle to watch
12580s	out for on a break and we will be able
12583s	to do so very soon potentially but for
12586s	all the action we want to bring in our
12587s	casters for our grand finals of the
12589s	mid-season Madness Tournament between
12591s	the Atlanta Reign and the Houston
12593s	Outlaws so Matt Mitch please take it
12596s	away
12597s	thank you very much yes I know Matt's
12599s	been brushing up on his career I'm not
12601s	sure if it's ready to show that if uh if
12603s	if a hawk just you know obviously I'm
12606s	not in Seoul but if I just have to have
12607s	some Korean food then I'm an honor
12609s	Korean like Danny Lim said is it so easy
12610s	I'm there uh now I can't translate any
12614s	of these signs that we'll see uh that
12616s	was a lie by the desk I think you should
12617s	I think you should try anyway I'll try
12619s	it I'll be interesting to see what I
12620s	Know Jack had a bit of a crack at it on
12621s	the broadcast uh so you can definitely I
12624s	do like when that one sign came up Danny
12626s	was like oh yeah Atlanta rain it's like
12627s	well we all could have read it right now
12630s	right yeah go for the win so at least do
12632s	some translation there I mean look just
12635s	because we maybe knew that our two roads
12638s	will be converging in a matchup like
12639s	this doesn't really make it any less
12640s	compelling a storyline and Matt there's
12643s	a feeling it's in the air there's a
12645s	feeling you believe that despite every
12647s	result in which the has failed to topple
12649s	the Atlanta Reign today of all days
12652s	Anything is Possible
12655s	people that way a little bit but then on
12657s	the other side it just kind of feels
12658s	like Atlanta winning is just like
12660s	inevitable uh Johnny and Jake were
12663s	talking about I know dog being so young
12665s	right as a rookie and playing on the
12667s	stage and is that pressure sometimes it
12669s	also has like the opposite effect of
12671s	like you're so new that you don't even
12673s	realize the moment you're in so to speak
12675s	uh and for him he hasn't really gone up
12677s	again I mean really The Outlaws have
12679s	been their main test hasn't really kind
12681s	of seen much of anything else for him
12683s	there's probably just another game
12684s	against you
12687s	[Applause]
12689s	foreign
12694s	for your 2023 spring split another
12698s	chapter in the Rivalry between the
12700s	Houston Outlaws and the Atlanta reign
12703s	will be pen to paper
12706s	starting here on ilios it is a long
12709s	series first to four
12711s	it's gonna be a grind for these two
12712s	teams and out the gates we go Houston
12714s	Outlaws Atlanta rain we're starting on
12716s	well and you got like a 30 minute break
12718s	in between the games right so if you're
12722s	Atlanta if you're able to win this first
12723s	one like this is where Houston should be
12725s	hot right have a little bit of Advantage
12727s	early on bong heck starting here in the
12729s	lineup for the Atlanta Reign maybe no
12731s	surprises here
12733s	compositionally speaking is the classic
12735s	Pelican echo on this map a key point of
12738s	difference here selling Pelicans really
12740s	been out of flex on multiple teams with
12742s	and for me though for the Atlanta Arena
12745s	I mean I think Pelican obviously going
12746s	to need to go huge there on the echo but
12747s	like stalker he's been able just really
12750s	about every team and especially the last
12752s	time against Houston just be such a
12753s	Difference Maker in the back line on the
12755s	Tracer that I think if you're Houston
12757s	you go back and you look at it it's like
12758s	let's figure out how to neutralize him
12760s	right we got to keep Violet and shoe
12761s	alive I think it starts with getting rid
12763s	of stock true take him down dog hack
12765s	able to arrive at the scene of the crime
12767s	just in time to be credited with the
12769s	elimination Pelican though finds the
12771s	focusing being targeted eventually
12772s	Fearless able to ample away from this
12774s	pressure from stalker eventually has to
12776s	succumb but Pelican has been running
12778s	rough shot over Atlanta in the
12779s	background no cap yet though and lip
12782s	arrives once more Violet this time gonna
12784s	be brought down Pelican can't touch down
12786s	enough to contest but he gets the early
12788s	point cap for the Outlaws ellipse now
12790s	out of the picture yeah they're doing a
12792s	nice job here at Houston just kind of
12793s	keeping this rolling until they get
12794s	Fearless back in the action Pelican got
12797s	done hack weekend they're going to be
12798s	the ones who take the point first
12800s	still Cat build that pulse bump happy
12802s	hit already parted with his in the
12804s	previous fight maybe a double back to
12806s	get a heel pack and then once more into
12808s	The Fray duplicate online for Pelican
12810s	here Chio taken down Fielder Under
12812s	Pressure it's a new compartment
12813s	unnecessary the sticky bombs had already
12815s	done their work before the Duke came
12817s	through regardless Pelican gets the job
12820s	done yeah and this is looking really
12821s	good here for the Houston Outlaws you're
12823s	gonna have your Nano boost your rally
12825s	that's gonna be live actually solo here
12827s	yeah where's the follow-up maybe they
12830s	want to swap I mean we'll see right it
12833s	didn't look like there was going to be
12834s	any type of follow-up there which maybe
12836s	stalker maybe levels banking on stalker
12838s	at least helping him get a two versus
12840s	one yeah you know the desk talked about
12842s	how if you're gonna see a mistake it's
12844s	going to be something you can clearly
12845s	tell what's a mistaken right there you'd
12847s	probably love to have that EMP back
12850s	the Atlanta rain have done well to get
12852s	here but they need to be pretty Flawless
12854s	in this match if they want to take the
12855s	honors away to Nana boost here for
12857s	Pelican pressure on dog hackets too much
12859s	the focusing beam the scrutiny of violet
12861s	and the flail it's an easy Winston pick
12863s	up yeah and maybe with that EMP you were
12866s	thinking you could actually get rally
12867s	out right trade rally for EMP come back
12869s	with you know uh your own rally that's
12872s	actually going to be shoe falling here I
12874s	know to Fielder at long range maybe
12876s	that's kind of the idea behind it but
12877s	Fearless got Primal Rage everybody in a
12879s	close proximity you see Felix instantly
12881s	pushed forward there uh he wants to try
12883s	and buy some time some space for sure to
12885s	return to The Fray but he's so far away
12887s	from the action despite this Houston a
12889s	very healthy lead here Matthew 90 and
12892s	Counting yeah with that extra damage on
12894s	that honor primary Fire by the way it's
12896s	pretty nice what's gonna say it's a
12898s	happy just crosses right into his line
12900s	of virus donk actually wants to get
12901s	pretty aggressive here maybe try and
12903s	make a play this is something Johnny
12904s	pointed out right the Atlanta Reigns
12906s	really want to push quite far forward so
12908s	they can really start the fight on their
12909s	own as opposed to waiting for the Allies
12912s	to emerge from their side of the map
12913s	yeah and the Allies obviously get up to
12915s	92 that's fantastic for them but you're
12917s	gonna have all five ultimates here for
12919s	the Atlanta Reign you're going to be
12920s	able to start cycling some of these and
12921s	get back in the game pretty quick
12923s	Pelican respectful distance maintained
12926s	right now between him and Dong how can
12927s	the
12929s	onto the echo cable ground Pelican for a
12931s	time dog hacks forced away he gets
12933s	anatom boost right now on the Outlaws
12934s	really don't want to tangle with him
12935s	presently Philip of course setting the
12938s	architecture up in the periphery to make
12939s	sure those Health packs are available
12941s	for him and stalker as they make their
12942s	route pass through
12945s	okay here's that EMP we were waiting for
12947s	Fearless hanging on Happy I can't say
12949s	the same thing here but it's a trade
12950s	Fielder eventually gonna fall down now
12952s	if it's just gonna be the rally for Chia
12953s	to keep his team standing But Here Come
12955s	The Outlaws a lot of pressure on Chico
12957s	don't pack sleeping a lot for the time
12958s	being but that Primal Rage could be
12960s	crucial to stall to contest buy some
12962s	time for some reinforcements Pelican
12964s	dupes the brig extra healing a lot of
12966s	pressure though rally even with seven
12968s	seconds left and this duplicate there's
12969s	a lot of value right here and they're
12971s	trying to deal with Pelicans but it
12972s	wouldn't even amount to an elimination
12973s	if they knock him out of this dude form
12975s	there's the flip I I mean that that copy
12979s	there on the brick was so watch is that
12982s	the ball stuff that goes on the Fearless
12983s	he's able to live on through it happy
12984s	takes out Chio as we enter overtime
12988s	look at how low these rain players are
12991s	Cheers a long way from the fight right
12993s	now it's all up to fielder in his
12995s	absence and happy wants to shut the door
12997s	on them here's the Primal race it's
12998s	going to be Pelican fighting dog heck no
13000s	the Winston's out of the game and the
13001s	rest of the Atlanta reign will be
13003s	sidelined to Chio desperately trying to
13005s	get back to the fights and well well
13009s	yep it's me again is that the Outlaws
13012s	this time we're not going to mess up
13015s	The Outlaws uh you can just see from
13018s	there like player povs and shut down the
13019s	line they seem pretty loose right now
13020s	and I think obviously that's the benefit
13022s	of playing a little bit earlier in the
13025s	day we're in Atlanta right you come on
13026s	to the stage all this kind of uh you
13029s	know show that goes on it's definitely
13031s	uh not a normal match as we'll see this
13033s	from Pelicans POV
13035s	nice job on the focusing beam lots of
13037s	people let's actually get that pack and
13039s	nice stickies at the end there run a lot
13041s	of great answers to the echo from this
13043s	Atlanta Ranger that Tracer is pretty
13045s	good right I mean Tracer is pretty good
13047s	against Echo especially like Tracer or
13048s	Sombra uh if you're not gonna like
13051s	mirror yourself it's like one of the
13053s	better you know they're gonna be able to
13055s	have
13056s	stalker on the echo here
13059s	in the neutral the only one really able
13061s	to pressure these Echoes are the honor
13062s	players but you've got filter and shoe
13064s	in the surface so both Pelican and
13065s	stalker have to pay due respect
13071s	taking a fair bit of damage actually
13073s	from stalker stalker hasn't committed
13075s	yet but is just poking away Fearless
13077s	though quite easily being topped up
13093s	and they needed to secure that kill on a
13096s	donkey I mean that was their opening
13100s	putting on a clinic right now
13104s	fly with a with a quick scope like that
13106s	really uh not nearly as easy as he makes
13109s	it look
13111s	live out of the fight for now be on his
13113s	way back
13114s	good start here for the Atlanta Reign
13116s	both aren't as converging the same time
13118s	on those Nano boosts dear Pelicans a
13121s	bioneer he doesn't expect the damage
13123s	comes in awfully fast and the whole
13124s	field it's like a get away with evidence
13125s	over to the Winston For the Outlaws the
13128s	rain have to take a sidebar to get dog
13130s	has back in the fight they're Cinema
13131s	Nano
13132s	and he's trying to get involved he's
13133s	gonna be the ward shoes bubble thrown
13135s	down here very quickly Violet gonna
13136s	about face and try and keep his Ana
13138s	alive so we have somewhat of a stalemate
13140s	here but in the midst of the chaos The
13142s	Outlaws did flip the point yeah and
13144s	that's pretty huge right because
13145s	Fearless is up on that High Ground he's
13147s	got the Primal Rage to be able to use
13149s	keep this one going and it's not like
13150s	the Atlanta Reigns got a ton of persons
13152s	26 kind of like nothing another bio here
13155s	on Fearless you see Fielder really
13156s	trying to Stave him off and it's gonna
13158s	work again
13159s	within that Primal Rage found shoe even
13161s	with the priority grenade parting gift
13163s	from shoes not enough to pressure the
13164s	enemy Winston down and there it is the
13166s	echo now getting some work done for the
13168s	Atlanta Reign focusing beam deals with
13170s	Fearless downloads have done well to get
13172s	some time in the sun here but the rain
13173s	are here to evict them rally be
13175s	committed here from Final Days
13177s	ridiculous it's not going to pay off
13179s	though have these pulse finds one but he
13181s	knows he can't do any more yes they're
13184s	gonna have to give the point up at least
13185s	for a brief period of time it looked
13186s	like maybe fearless and Co is going to
13189s	come on back in but the Outlaws take the
13191s	lead for a brief moment it'll now be the
13193s	rain you take the lead so what are you
13195s	looking at here for Atlanta you know
13196s	maybe you have you know you have this
13198s	Nano for donghak uh potentially even for
13200s	stalker is having a great round Matt
13203s	Since switching over towards the echo
13204s	three final blows only the one death for
13207s	the entire map so far duping and Tracer
13210s	here this is a scary Prospect For the
13212s	Outlaws have a face down and lift the
13214s	real Tracer able to do a violent or
13216s	Pelican can really only hover and look
13218s	on
13220s	stalker probably there's no recipient
13221s	for this pulse bomb and he's done his
13223s	job for a second they thought about
13224s	chasing Pelican all the way out there
13226s	but uh in the pulling on back
13230s	we'll see how the Outlaws go about
13231s	trying to break this they're gonna have
13233s	Nano for both teams but Primal for
13236s	donghek as well he's actually slept
13237s	there on The High Ground
13242s	soon to follow
13245s	what's a piece of the rest of the
13248s	Outlaws here Violet can't quite get away
13250s	at least he's trying to Long hack leaves
13253s	that one alone he has Primal if needed
13254s	and actually pops it here
13257s	yeah I mean just use it to stay alive
13259s	right five percent you're so close to
13261s	taking the point is that enough Pelican
13262s	actually maybe gonna go over the Winston
13263s	to try and duplicate to get to the point
13265s	he didn't have a chance to get a good
13266s	duplicate in the previous fight so he
13267s	has to use it for the mobility to get to
13269s	the point oh Pelican turns around that's
13271s	a try shot kill on the enemy Tracer and
13274s	now the Outlaws have the capacity to
13276s	move in and over at an early round end
13278s	yeah it looked like actually Pelican got
13280s	the benefits of the Nano and it was just
13281s	like a really close range almost Point
13283s	Blank like head shots there on the lip
13286s	is that it's gonna be Fearless left on
13287s	The High Ground opportunity to finish
13289s	this off that from shoe as well sends a
13292s	bionade in to Ward them away Phyllis
13294s	knows his question he's gonna make this
13295s	hurt the sticky bombs come in focusing
13297s	me wasn't enough to claim the Winston
13299s	The Fearless could be in trouble trying
13301s	to keep himself playing from that High
13303s	Ground here he will unseize him but
13305s	where is the healing he gets it Bayern
13307s	comes in but it's too late Fearless is
13309s	mostly topped up now the Atlanta raid
13311s	coming home to roost here 70 and
13313s	Counting from the Houston Outlaws Geo
13314s	starting to Surge ahead stalker gets
13316s	another to keep privacy now is going to
13318s	return to The Fray double by on the back
13320s	line from the Atlanta range Shaw and
13321s	violet had to keep their heads down and
13323s	stalker wants a little bit of feel as
13324s	he'll have it focusing being claims to
13326s	Winston kill but let's try it out he's
13328s	gonna be happy finding that one and here
13330s	comes Violet now given the 5G and he's
13332s	looking for a Target The High Ground
13333s	spots filled over can't connect the whip
13335s	shot now just wants to force Chio away
13337s	but he's not doing any damage fueled It
13339s	For The High Ground still uncontested
13341s	and the rain are back in control yeah
13343s	and who's gonna be here to get the touch
13344s	I mean Fearless comes back on the doom
13346s	and looks like he's going to work his
13347s	way to the point
13355s	going down to the whip shot but stalker
13357s	has another Duke Tracer it's gonna be
13359s	lip again though
13360s	[Applause]
13361s	it's good violent out of the picture
13363s	it's all the rain right now it's
13365s	desperately Pelican trying to touch and
13368s	those aged legs can't quite get him
13370s	there I'll tell you what though the
13372s	Outlaws made that really close towards
13374s	the end I thought Violet and shoe does a
13376s	tremendous job keeping each other alive
13377s	kind of you know juggling off for that
13379s	Mega health pack inside being able to
13381s	give some heels over to happy to contest
13383s	the point that's just once they lose
13385s	fearless and he's gotta you know go to
13386s	the Doom try and make his way back to
13388s	the point you know obviously you'd love
13390s	to have the wins in that type of
13392s	situation but needs that extra mobility
13394s	and they're not able to keep it going
13395s	stalker is uh 11 final blows two depths
13399s	right now
13400s	switching over towards Echo ideally in a
13402s	mirror Pelicans impact on the game
13404s	exceeds it how ridiculous is it when you
13406s	can have stalker in the loop on the tree
13408s	sir you use the duplicate it's pretty
13411s	good
13413s	all right look back on the Sombra here
13415s	the Outlaws
13417s	playing that classic style here on ruins
13420s	out of side around in our first map so
13423s	the Outlaws get control that Mega health
13424s	pack first it looks like that's actually
13426s	going to be Pelican who gets control of
13428s	that hack so they can actually play from
13429s	that side a little bit more defensively
13431s	crucial right in terms of allowing your
13434s	Tracer to sort of dominate while they uh
13436s	they check their opposite number even
13438s	near Winston I mean how many times are
13439s	you on board with fearless and you know
13441s	he's trying to rotate out back towards
13442s	the health pack trying to find one
13443s	that's active having that one in your
13445s	control pretty important lip trying to
13447s	reclaim that territory there but again
13449s	it's forced back
13451s	now peering over the wall to the point
13453s	of pirate predictably flies in from shoe
13455s	he's able to avoid it one from Fielder
13458s	doesn't find a Target sleep on pelic and
13460s	fearless rather he's good a trade here
13462s	don't that goes down but isn't worth it
13463s	to get shoe the answer is probably
13465s	Fearless kept alive out of the rest of
13468s	the pressure from the Atlanta reign
13470s	we all have their time in the sun here a
13471s	chance to flip the point back after an
13474s	early Houston catcher yeah I mean you
13476s	lose your honor even though you get rid
13479s	of donghack on the other side still I
13480s	mean that's just a large source of your
13482s	healing Violet can only kind of stand on
13485s	the points for so long as uh it can't
13487s	really play the role of a tank forever
13489s	there on the break so you do get 17 but
13492s	it's gonna be the Atlanta rain taking
13493s	the lead rather quickly yep as immutable
13495s	as the march of time Luke finds the
13497s	first EMP buildup
13500s	for quite the perfect opportunity to
13502s	make use of it yet but the rain are in
13504s	control they're waiting for the Outlaws
13506s	to show themselves here this might be it
13508s	Pelicans stuck on the point looking like
13510s	a stun mullet the EMP comes in he has no
13512s	root of Escape young hakko takes a ton
13515s	of damage up from it this time is
13516s	actually able to get away towards his
13518s	backline Atlantis 11 Nano booster still
13520s	have a rally they've got so much to work
13521s	with the onus is on Houston to force
13523s	them to part with these support
13524s	ultimates Violet going for the rally
13526s	himself here returns to the fight here
13529s	for the buyer now goes for the Primal
13530s	race gios looking a little bit worse
13531s	than where is it like EMP Pelicans gonna
13533s	hope the follow-up is there but it just
13535s	isn't violent steamrolled by dog hack
13537s	here the primer rage Finds Its value and
13540s	you can hack as many players as you like
13541s	you like teammates to follow it up it's
13544s	an l and the Sleep front Fielder on The
13546s	Fearless was just unreal because uh
13548s	we're watching I believe it was from
13549s	Pelicans POV and dung hack is really low
13551s	after EMP and then trying to jump out
13553s	towards the rest of the team and
13555s	fearless goes for the Chase and he
13557s	actually gets the Nano midair and gets
13559s	slapped while he has the benefit to the
13561s	Nano trying to follow up and get rid of
13563s	the Atlanta rain tank but because he
13565s	obviously gets to that sleep Dart not
13567s	able to finish it off
13569s	donkey playing pretty far forward again
13570s	characteristic The Outlaws require two
13573s	individuals to keep him in check okay
13575s	early Bible here from Fearless fortunate
13578s	to avoid the sleep that came in from
13579s	field turns back looking to really
13581s	create as much space as he can but
13583s	another biode comes on he Fearless has
13585s	no assistance beats an enemy territory
13588s	after proverbial Without a Paddle there
13590s	see you later say right out who else do
13594s	you have to cap this point the answer is
13597s	no one
13599s	yes Danga gets the benefits of the Nano
13601s	Boost after they get rid of fearless he
13603s	goes in just pushes and supports the
13605s	rest of the team out it looked like
13606s	Pelican may have been the only one there
13608s	the possibility to touch and uh not
13611s	actually make it so
13613s	uh pretty close competitive map number
13616s	one but it's the Atlanta range too
13618s	strong
13619s	not a great start for everybody's
13621s	favorite anime protagonist Fearless ends
13623s	the map one final blow 11 deaths
13628s	to say that he's being punished by the
13630s	Atlanta Reign may be an understatement
13632s	he's got a Target on his back and they
13634s	are hitting it I mean the Atlanta Arena
13637s	just putting so much pressure onto the
13638s	supports of the Houston Outlaws and even
13642s	like you know Pelican and happy trying
13644s	to help out in any way possible but I
13647s	ain't Chio and fielder are just playing
13649s	on another level I mean they are rarely
13651s	dying first they're able to also a lot
13653s	of the times we're watching Fearless
13654s	being able to like can't really start to
13656s	dive or you know go to make a play is
13658s	that like 50 Health half the time right
13661s	uh and then when he's in that back line
13662s	they're doing so good at keeping
13664s	themselves alive he gets hacked the
13665s	damage amp onto the Sombra from lit and
13667s	they just burned him down I mean he's
13669s	just barely able to stay alive so maybe
13672s	just change the game plan a little bit
13673s	up here for the Outlaws we've seen in
13676s	some of the footage that's been shown by
13677s	Johnny for example just how heavily The
13680s	Outlaws Like to invest in keeping
13681s	Fearless alive get those bionic grenades
13684s	in there make sure he's topped up it's
13686s	something that gets even scarier when
13687s	there's an echo in the mix right the
13688s	moment you if you get fired you're
13690s	basically instant dead you're gonna die
13692s	to the focusing being here
13694s	the Atlanta rain a little bit of a slow
13696s	start for them there donkey getting
13697s	exploited somewhat in that first round
13700s	but they turn it around in a big way a
13702s	decisive win
13704s	on ruins yes we take a look at some of
13707s	the highlights here I think when Pelican
13708s	was on the echo it's kind of when they
13710s	had the most success right uh as you're
13713s	looking for somebody to be able to get
13714s	in there and make a quick kill quick
13715s	play right uh focusing beams huge burn
13718s	targets down instantly and I I think
13721s	that's where you thought they had the
13723s	most success uh really interesting I
13725s	think moving forward I'm curious in your
13727s	tank like if you're the Outlaws like
13728s	what types of maps do you want to
13730s	actually end up playing the Atlanta
13731s	Arena like do you want to try and maybe
13733s	play your Rush where like they're
13736s	Fearless some remotra and what now we've
13738s	seen it they've been able to beat teams
13739s	but we know the Atlanta rain are
13741s	fantastic at that style like what type
13743s	of maps do you think we see them go with
13745s	I mean you might want to mix it in the
13747s	problem is is that it doesn't really
13748s	matter because it gets to play Sombra
13750s	regardless of the composition uh and
13752s	will make your life hell and also like
13754s	we know that you know both these teams
13756s	generally uh like to play that I don't
13758s	bring back line Houston against the team
13761s	by the Atlanta Reign even in a rush
13763s	mirror be shocked if they pulled out the
13765s	Zenyatta it's a might disrespectful it's
13767s	a tad risky and the Outlaws have
13770s	selected blizzard world for the second
13772s	map in this series so blows it straight
13774s	uh blows exchange rather at the start of
13776s	this series but it's the Atlanta rain
13778s	starting with an edge as per usual do
13781s	your favorite main characters the
13783s	Houston Outlaws have what it takes to
13785s	even things up in map too

13942s	[Music]
13944s	foreign
13946s	[Music]
13977s	here or maybe an understatement
13981s	so not only a mid-season Madness
13982s	appearance in the finals for both of
13984s	these teams not only 500 000 on the line
13987s	not only the trophy not just the
13989s	bragging rights
13991s	first tournament win for either of these
13994s	franchises
13995s	is on the line
13997s	also I feel like there's just a ton of
14000s	momentum coming out of this for whoever
14001s	wins as well right because you're
14003s	looking like
14004s	they're really across the league like
14006s	who is going to contend with these teams
14007s	right now like if somebody were to just
14009s	kind of come out of nowhere and do it
14010s	like it would be a big shock with the
14011s	way we think is like talking about how
14015s	wide the golf was between these two
14016s	arrests but if Atlanta comes in here
14018s	they just like storm through them like
14020s	how do you you know the the whole second
14023s	part of the Season For the Outlaws it's
14025s	kind of
14026s	it's great to beat up teams in the
14028s	regular season right but but if you
14030s	don't like win the tournaments then it's
14032s	kind of or not right where you're gonna
14034s	have to figure out how to get through
14036s	this team eventually
14038s	time after time this year Houston
14040s	Outlaws have presented themselves before
14042s	the Atlanta right I tell you what these
14043s	drawings are good but they're lucky I am
14045s	down they're drawn I mean I put these a
14047s	shame I I'm glad you're here too Matt
14050s	yeah glad you're here mate I can tell I
14053s	can tell
14054s	oh buddy
14056s	again Houston Outlaws yeah constantly
14058s	present themselves in hoodie and land of
14059s	rain and say we're having another crack
14060s	at you we're having another shot of this
14062s	we want to be the number one team and
14065s	each time you land around look down
14066s	their nose and say not today
14070s	I mean yeah it is brutal right because
14076s	when Houston's roster kind of like
14077s	formed it was like oh man like this team
14079s	like could very well be one of the you
14082s	know maybe the most talented team we've
14084s	ever had top to bottom in terms of
14085s	talent individual player by player we've
14087s	ever had in the league and then Atlanta
14089s	puts together a team that I think on
14092s	paper you'd be like oh you know like
14094s	Houston is like the Superstar potential
14096s	right but just the teamwork of the
14098s	Atlanta reign comboed with that talent
14100s	that is you know just as good it's it's
14103s	you know we were talking over the break
14105s	and it's I feel like Houston plays well
14107s	you know the game is 10 minutes Houston
14109s	plays really well for like seven or
14111s	eight of those minutes but those minutes
14113s	that the Atlanta rain just play on
14115s	another level is where they kind of
14116s	decide these things where you're gonna
14118s	have to see the Houston Outlaws put
14119s	together consistent Maps where they are
14123s	no slip UPS Mount after map to be able
14126s	to be the team like Atlanta yeah recent
14128s	history I'm sure many of you haven't
14129s	forgotten but to remind you the last
14131s	time these two teams faced it went all
14134s	the way to five maps including a very
14136s	and likely come back from Houston on new
14140s	Queen Street that really was quite
14142s	mind-blowing so they've demonstrated
14143s	that you're no long-ish series they're
14146s	able to dig deeper when it's required
14148s	we've had time of course to rest
14150s	the Atlanta rain actually really don't
14152s	have to play too many games to get here
14154s	if I'm honest with you to have pride of
14156s	place and get to move on through and
14157s	okay Pelican not set up in the expected
14160s	location the uh the hogger will be
14162s	stowed away yeah so just trying to get a
14164s	hook maybe on to uh Pelican a little
14167s	cheeky pick there at the start stopper
14168s	also went with the Widow
14171s	we've been trying to get an early pick
14172s	but okay if you're the Atlanta right
14175s	you'll take this if you if they aren't
14176s	you play this type of sale or play and
14178s	you can just mirror uh you feel pretty
14181s	confident
14182s	used to want to be the first to start
14184s	these fights off defensively Atlanta
14186s	moved quick though
14188s	just like now don't hack going over the
14190s	top Fearless doesn't quite have a Target
14192s	to tangle with right now and he's hit
14193s	with the fire it's still here again the
14195s	focus is on him fortunately desperately
14198s	Shu able to minister to those wounds
14200s	send him back into the parade But Here
14202s	Comes Back attack on shoe we can't get
14204s	away
14206s	if I were to bring the linchpin of the
14208s	team down and obviously it's lip who
14211s	ends up getting that first pick and it's
14212s	on the shoe but that bio grenade just
14215s	sets up everything it just kind of puts
14216s	your team in a little bit it disarray a
14217s	little bit of panic Fearless is so low
14219s	that allows Luke to come from the
14221s	opposite saying get a hacked finish off
14222s	shoot
14223s	it's broken down now and to run a
14225s	segregated skirmishes
14228s	Violet falling to Fielder though and I
14229s	think you're happy realizes that Jake is
14231s	up Fearless
14233s	keeping going for a little longer but
14234s	that is a very expedient take here from
14237s	the Atlanta rain and I think it's just
14239s	the man Fielder has been able to get so
14241s	much value out of these bio grenades we
14243s	saw in the first map pretty much the
14245s	entire way you see it here in this early
14247s	parts of Blizzard World sets up a really
14250s	fast point a take
14253s	yeah I mean that pressure being put down
14255s	on Fearless sure it wasn't a biogranate
14256s	that got the kill but it forced Fearless
14258s	out of the fight for a long period of
14260s	time
14261s	to play the game right now
14263s	stalker wants more descents they
14265s	probably traded out though happy finding
14266s	a key kill involvement from Shu I have
14269s	to sleep dart at work
14271s	either way he starts very little to
14272s	stymie this early momentum from the
14274s	Atlanta Reign they still want to Surge
14275s	ahead they still have their Winston in
14277s	play yes it's going to be actually it
14279s	was pelican in Fearless you dropped down
14281s	onto the payload a train now prevent it
14283s	from moving forward even a little bit
14285s	more that's going to be an EMP you're
14286s	gonna get both support so uh the EMP is
14289s	good here for Pelican there's a sense of
14290s	Pelican definitely wanted to let that
14291s	EMP go he was also detected on the
14294s	approach so it was then or never in
14296s	terms of that fight but this is crucial
14298s	The Outlaws felt like they were letting
14300s	things get away from them early right
14301s	they've been able to White Knuckle grip
14303s	on the reins the pace of this round at
14305s	least for now a little little long range
14308s	shot their connection from Fearless is
14310s	yeah you move up you need just start
14313s	snowballing some of these fights right
14315s	you know just chaining them together
14316s	chaining them together I like the idea
14318s	from the out I was here to push up a
14319s	little bit you know get aggressive don't
14320s	allow the Atlanta ring to set up some of
14322s	these plays so obviously it's a big one
14325s	grenade he cannot stay for long
14328s	act though so much pressure look at this
14330s	happy just being lighting towards him
14333s	Phyllis having to stay alive even with
14335s	that bio earlier but God that pressure
14337s	constantly hangs over his head the
14338s	damagely sort of Fielder not one to
14340s	snare at
14342s	he's going to face his torment this time
14344s	comes out on top double back to the
14346s	Carters don't hack is causing some
14347s	problems with his Primal Rage but he
14349s	doesn't want to linger himself no I mean
14351s	that's both supports but I don't know if
14353s	you're gonna be able to actually turn
14354s	this into much of anything here for the
14356s	Atlanta Arena maybe you just pull the
14358s	Outlaws back they're not going to be
14359s	able to stay in here and play as close
14361s	up you need that payload to start get it
14363s	going again right create a little bit
14365s	more distance here for the Atlanta
14366s	Reigns The Outlaws just can't play up
14368s	your spot Fearless have a look in the
14370s	location where he took fate into his own
14371s	hands a very different opponent faces
14373s	him now though he'll drop down try and
14376s	deal with this dog hack try and be under
14378s	the pressure even at the tender age of
14381s	17.
14383s	stalker wants to assemble the line of
14385s	scrimmage well forward of the cart right
14387s	now
14388s	creating that space pressuring High
14390s	Ground this this EMP needs to be awesome
14392s	from Pelican right you're kind of
14394s	looking across the board if he doesn't
14395s	connect with milder and shield they're
14397s	in a lot of trouble as that's gonna be
14398s	the rally that comes out but they're
14400s	able to get rid of him fast at the same
14402s	time the rain are executing basically
14403s	the game same game plan on the Houston
14405s	Outlaws here no that's one remember
14408s	happy now ridiculated to school Fearless
14411s	he comes with full health he'll hang
14413s	around for a little while but there's
14414s	not going to be any assistance he knows
14416s	that he's done and violet now very
14419s	quickly trying to sheepishly back away
14422s	it will be corralled back towards spawn
14424s	oh that is a brutal play to lose there
14426s	for the Outlaws as you're trying to get
14428s	Violet out but you're not gonna be able
14430s	to do so as stalker there a little bit
14433s	of assistance from lib and Dong hack as
14435s	the payload continues to move two
14438s	checkpoints above three minutes to
14439s	finish it off look at this look is going
14442s	to come up on another EMP
14447s	wants to have his wits about him here
14449s	stalker already starting to make that
14450s	flank released thinking about it
14456s	they also drop down again donkey is
14458s	going over his head rarely these two
14459s	Winston's fighting face to face
14464s	yeah I mean they get the Nano out so the
14467s	Violet can't really get any value out of
14469s	this outside of living right so now you
14471s	can come back that is huge because you
14474s	would have been able to come back with
14475s	your own EMP right around the corner
14476s	they go with it anyway Phyllis slapped
14478s	in hit by the EMP lip's gonna get out
14480s	but not before
14482s	will be back into the fight pretty soon
14484s	with the Primal race to boot both
14485s	Winston's
14487s	battle it loose two minutes and 23
14490s	seconds on the clock it is looking very
14492s	different from the last time these two
14493s	played this map
14496s	back in The Fray
14498s	so you have dog
14499s	going in trying to split off the
14501s	supports there maybe get a bubble he's
14502s	also got Primal Rage
14505s	Fielder seems like he's hiding here
14506s	maybe he thinks that Pelican has an EMP
14508s	trying to play a little bit more passive
14510s	throw the hack briefly so he used to
14512s	take some time inside this small room
14514s	you're being mostly overlooked by
14515s	Fearless right now but a pione was
14517s	definitely
14528s	from happy
14530s	not able to make a difference here
14532s	teetering on the edge six HP they keep
14536s	him in the fight
14537s	see you just see the Geo can use that
14539s	rally so late right The Outlaws they
14542s	have to use it early on just Fielder
14545s	able to keep him alive use it extremely
14547s	late you get an EMP here coming up for
14549s	Olympus well with the nanode Winston in
14551s	the way
14552s	yeah maybe I'll finish this with some
14554s	time the EMP on don't hack means he
14556s	can't get where he's needed most with
14558s	that matter but here comes lift the EMP
14560s	is good violence down Pelicans just able
14563s	to get away but Fearless got nearly so
14564s	lucky happy kid from the doorways right
14566s	now it's a couple of blinks and he's
14568s	done as well the Atlanta right
14569s	extinguished Houston here on this attack
14572s	oh hit it in the time bank as well uh on
14576s	in a Houston Outlaws map pick
14579s	that is some brutal stuff there
14582s	uh The Outlaws just searching for
14584s	answers just a little bit is it does it
14588s	seems like no matter what they commit
14589s	they cannot get rid of Fielder and chia
14591s	just a tremendous job of just keeping
14593s	each other alive keeping everybody in
14595s	the mix holding those on support all to
14598s	the last minute right whether it be a
14600s	nano whether it be a rally and you're
14603s	just getting extreme value out of them
14605s	just continuing these fights keeping
14607s	them going
14609s	stalker on the Tracer all round
14612s	calling the Menace just does not do it
14614s	justice 11 final blows two deaths I mean
14617s	look
14619s	if you're the Atlanta Arena this is
14621s	almost like it if you were to say hey
14623s	pick the meta right
14626s	so this might be what you would choose
14628s	if you're like hey we can put lip on
14630s	Sombra full time and stalker on Tracer
14633s	almost Perma
14635s	you'll take that if you're the Atlanta
14636s	rain uh especially with Fielder on the
14639s	honor then cheer on the brick like
14641s	what else could you possibly walk into
14644s	that would be better for the Atlanta
14645s	rain at the moment in terms of the meta
14647s	I mean
14648s	the only I think the only issue is
14650s	sometimes when there are maps that
14651s	really dictate certain compositions and
14654s	you know the Outlaws we'll try and pick
14655s	those but frankly you don't see that in
14657s	every game type it definitely isn't in
14659s	the hybrid game type they have to play
14661s	this style on blizzard world we know
14662s	Outlaws throws this map we know why they
14664s	looked very good on it beforehand but
14665s	the Atlanta rain there's been some
14667s	Evolution here
14669s	I I think it's just the style of play I
14671s	mean it's just so clean because you only
14673s	get the Outlaws and you're like hey you
14675s	know being a Fearless on Winston right
14677s	and you know I mean that's a big huge
14678s	bio at the beginning there
14680s	six and one like whistle the pressure on
14684s	the Winston is just not there
14686s	if you're just having to draw some blood
14687s	at the very least here you know gonna
14689s	slam around the shots
14691s	yeah I mean they have not been able to
14693s	punish don't hack at all right uh and
14697s	and it always seems like they're playing
14698s	on the defensive because he's like early
14699s	biotic rings that come in from Fielder
14701s	right that biotic grenade right at the
14703s	start it hits violent and I believe one
14704s	other player they're able to get rid of
14705s	violet fast what do you do at that point
14707s	you're just kind of
14708s	scrambling you're you're playing a
14710s	player down
14711s	Atlanta ready for this they quite freely
14713s	give this High Ground to feel us
14717s	he's overlooking a land teaming with
14720s	potential assailants
14721s	happy hack of the high grade I mean God
14723s	he always tries to take the solo kill
14725s	that would be something else he does get
14727s	punished though maybe link is just a
14728s	little too long
14730s	like once it was stalking here who is
14732s	able to escape you'll blink back down
14734s	the stairs
14735s	yeah now they have to make a play right
14738s	there you get lip out of the way he's
14739s	not able to build towards that EMP Fila
14741s	slept he's like very low
14745s	until the initiator out of the mix here
14748s	you shouldn't have to make it do with
14749s	three
14750s	shoe is hit with a biotic grenade so you
14753s	lose him and then dongak is going to get
14755s	rid of violet it's dude Fielder is
14757s	playing out of his mind throughout this
14759s	tournament man every time happy deploys
14761s	a pulse bomb it's deterministic it is a
14763s	kill it comes off in late in the fighter
14765s	it's inconsequential up against just the
14767s	wall Atlanta rain erecting
14770s	you gotta take care of them if you're
14772s	the Outlaws right uh so you get some
14774s	point progress but still I mean that
14777s	could have been your opening right you
14778s	you get rid of lip early you have a
14780s	little bit of a window
14782s	not able to capitalize
14786s	I feel the really playing back here he's
14788s	playing yeah they're tracking I think
14790s	they're tracked an EMP
14791s	it's a little early for that Pelican
14793s	hasn't quite had the success of lip
14795s	that's probably why we're seeing the
14797s	supports play to the periphery and
14799s	that's no way Fearless is getting away
14800s	from that not a chance
14803s	their combos are just so clean we see
14806s	teams like EMP and then they had to
14808s	follow up with like a tracer or Winston
14809s	sometimes they actually right there it's
14812s	like a defensive EMP and they're dong
14814s	hack and stuff are not there I mean
14815s	we're seeing where they are right now
14816s	and Kyle's gonna pop reality and it's
14818s	and it's some follow-up from Fielder
14820s	Chio and lip with a biotic grenade in
14823s	the mix I mean that is what they use on
14824s	like those defensive types of plays
14826s	right they're able to hit three players
14827s	that deal with it easy this EMP is gonna
14830s	be big but the follow-up again it's
14832s	absence so is Pelicans as it turns out
14834s	Geo takes him to task another sleep oh
14836s	Phil is in a stick to send him packing
14838s	for the uptick time this round Felix is
14842s	six and ten don't hack no leave you
14844s	completely different reality
14846s	perhaps one that involves a
14848s	violet-shaped pancake
14849s	he's thinking about it Violet struggling
14851s	to escape a bione defensively employed
14853s	by shooting trying to get his troops out
14855s	of Dodge
14857s	I mean 42 minutes about 42 seconds I
14860s	mean they may need 42 minutes
14865s	okay we should give him 42 minutes keep
14867s	it going
14868s	to characteristically doesn't
14871s	oh okay so so now maybe you can actually
14873s	make something happen right cheers
14875s	popping the rally here Up On The Higher
14877s	Ground they have to be careful not to
14879s	like walk in and get baited into like a
14881s	big lip BMP
14883s	they may have no choice The Outlaws have
14885s	to group and play The Objective they got
14887s	rid of his translocator
14889s	he's gonna go for it anyway three
14891s	players connected to the first
14895s	cat to be putting up the fight
14897s	stalker takes a side to give enough
14899s	needs a health pack they touch don't
14901s	pack for how long another let's get
14904s	another but they cannot get the contest
14906s	The Outlaws
14907s	drag kicking and screaming now have the
14910s	card control
14912s	yes I thought they were gonna actually
14913s	fight that maybe like Fielder comes
14915s	around the corner of the Sleep the nade
14916s	but darling hack was so low had to back
14918s	out nobody there to get in touch so the
14921s	Outlaws able to get the payload unlocked
14923s	but now only two minutes Mitch and this
14926s	can be a really difficult part of the
14928s	map to go through like it even took the
14929s	Atlanta right in a few good attempts to
14931s	make that happen but if you're Atlanta
14933s	you finish with time just bleed out this
14934s	clock
14935s	the wind condition is like it's an EMP
14937s	to the back line and insta kill on an
14939s	honor then you transition into that but
14941s	you almost can't like so you obviously
14943s	can right uh it looks like Pelican
14946s	actually trying to Camp the translocator
14947s	you overthought it so so if you don't go
14950s	here fast enough and that's brutal if
14952s	you don't go here fast enough for the
14954s	Outlaws right and then you're forced to
14955s	use this EMP up on The High Ground
14957s	they're just kind of looking at where
14959s	the payload is right now you're probably
14960s	not going to get another EMP and then
14963s	you can just play just the flood out of
14965s	Spawn for the Atlanta rain right so it's
14967s	really important The Outlaws win another
14968s	fight fast and ideally hold on to that
14970s	EMP
14973s	don't heck with plenty of respect he
14975s	doesn't hang around for too long
14977s	you can almost see like a palpable shift
14979s	in play style when there's an EMP
14981s	tracked presumably that's what they've
14983s	done is Pelican though lays it down and
14986s	there it is Geo disintegrates and
14988s	fearless finds live comfortably enough
14991s	that's the must win Fight For the
14992s	Outlaws but there's actually more where
14993s	that came from and you see everybody
14995s	under Atlanta just back out right it's
14998s	kind of not an ideal scenario right
15001s	because you end up losing a fight but
15002s	it's one that you feel really good about
15004s	you have some High Ground Control here
15005s	you have your own EMP underneath the
15007s	minute it's going to take a while for
15009s	them to even get back to this point if
15010s	you're able to get a team White
15013s	no joy there for stalker's pulse bomb
15015s	don't pack in that Prime although found
15017s	Violet he was cooped up in the room and
15019s	the dog hack made the best of it Fielder
15021s	in trouble here Primal comes down but
15024s	lip is coming his way with the back line
15025s	of the Outlaws Fearless comes up
15027s	empty-handed I mean we're watching from
15030s	Fielder's POV I mean Fearless just kind
15032s	of juggling him for a little bit they
15034s	don't even invest the rally there they
15035s	don't even feel the need to invest the
15038s	rally when Neo feel is kind of juggling
15040s	their honor in Brig at a closed area I
15043s	mean they feel that confident keeping
15044s	them alive that's what I was talking
15045s	about they're gonna run right into this
15047s	Libyan Pete they're not even close to
15048s	getting another one three seconds left
15050s	let the instigator surely pulse bomb
15053s	juice
15054s	not a great look happy was hoping to
15057s	make something work there if he's going
15059s	to walk up someone and that's the fire
15061s	it's always the buyer to start these
15063s	fights but it's gonna back up that rally
15064s	is now expired feels hacked stunned
15066s	packed again shoot alone live now with
15069s	the EMP you may not even need the
15071s	Outlaws Force inside the small room and
15072s	it's a melanch
15075s	o about this
15077s	[Applause]
15084s	hey dude that is such a sick play by
15086s	donk so we actually saw the bio on the
15089s	Violet there he Dives in a little bit
15091s	you actually have shoe kind of peel back
15093s	to keep try and keep Violet alive and
15095s	they actually he drops like a perfect
15097s	bubble like right where the card is and
15099s	like with that like long straight
15100s	Alleyway that they have to move it
15102s	through and there's just no way they can
15103s	get to Fearless to give him any type of
15105s	healing be Fearless tries to drop his
15107s	own fumble down kind of move into the
15109s	side room they're never able to get a
15111s	line of sight on them and gonna get him
15112s	healed back up right away Fearless has
15115s	to rotate all the way around it just all
15117s	starts to fall apart hack sleep
15121s	bayonade
15123s	you're ruthless from the Atlanta Reign
15125s	their protocols for dealing with Winston
15128s	in these mirror compositions are
15129s	airtight
15131s	at this point it's muscle memory for
15133s	them
15134s	Fearless is doing everything he can to
15135s	try and break the Paradigm throw a
15138s	curveball at them come from an expected
15140s	I guess angle of attack and none of that
15143s	really seems to cut it
15145s	the Atlanta rain are looking to see all
15147s	their sovereignty nice and early in the
15150s	day
15151s	yeah and For the Outlaws right it just
15154s	took so long for them to get checkpoint
15156s	a and when they have to use that EMP up
15160s	on The High Ground you know that I mean
15163s	best case you get another one deep into
15166s	OT right but you're not it's it's not
15169s	going to come back online so you're
15171s	gonna have to win a fight another way
15172s	but you're walking into an Atlanta Reign
15174s	team that can save up all five ultimate
15176s	it's going to keep it there with the
15178s	defensive spawn Advantage a massive one
15180s	at that uh and there's no way they're
15182s	gonna be able to break that well the
15184s	cops are off now clearly the Atlanta
15186s	ride would love nothing more than to
15188s	humiliate The Outlaws in front of this
15190s	crowd
15191s	so many cheering fans what a stage to
15195s	cement your dominance to the top of the
15197s	OverWatch League
15198s	and in math terms they are halfway there
15201s	so moment here from Fearless given some
15203s	leash to go aggressive it looked pretty
15206s	good but I mean I like clock here I like
15209s	that from The Outlaws and they pushed up
15210s	and got that aggressive if they didn't
15211s	do that game species Atlanta Arena
15213s	probably would have been an even faster
15214s	time this theme of story veterans been
15217s	some of the biggest matches we've ever
15219s	seen in the OverWatch League
15220s	I mean play like they're scared
15222s	sometimes or they just don't have the
15223s	ability
15225s	to take the initiative here look at
15227s	Fearless I mean so often we see this
15228s	right these Primal rages in small rooms
15230s	I feel they're just Pockets to go just
15232s	Pockets him every sleep every bionade
15235s	cooked to perfection
15237s	he had sleep he made that looks so easy
15240s	that is uh definitely not easy as our
15244s	lip with the EMP there on the point so
15246s	yeah what's getting map selection they
15248s	will actually go to shambali Monastery
15250s	so I wonder if we're going to see a
15252s	little bit of a different style of play
15254s	right maybe we see some ramatra here
15256s	come in uh you know if you can't win
15259s	there it's looking dire yeah the Outlaws
15262s	slowly running out of options running
15263s	out of those silver bullets to load into
15265s	the sixth shooter stick around for a
15267s	third map in the series an Outlaws pick
15269s	in shambali monastery

15466s	[Music]
15472s	appearances just another day at the
15475s	office for the Atlanta rain
15477s	I'll tell you what this is the workplace
15479s	experience for the Houston Outlaws
15480s	perhaps a change of career they are
15483s	struggling out there maybe get in touch
15484s	with HR because these are brutal
15485s	conditions for them to be playing under
15488s	absolute brutality from the Atlanta
15490s	Reign on Blizzard Water map of course
15492s	Houston chose they looked pretty darn
15494s	good on it last time these two teams
15496s	faced off but it's Atlanta rain it's a
15498s	different Beast
15500s	and I think if you're in Atlanta and you
15502s	see this next map pick come in
15505s	you kind of get a little bit of a vibe
15506s	that maybe the Outlaws are a little
15509s	Shook at the moment that this is a team
15512s	is uh it'll be hard coming in for
15514s	donghek so uh Hawk obviously tremendous
15517s	on things like the ramatra some of these
15519s	off tanks you know Diva right uh but if
15522s	you feel like your dive is just so
15524s	effective against them that they have to
15526s	go to rush style Maps you already have
15529s	two Elite so even if they beat you in
15530s	the rush you just go pick another map
15533s	the union Sports Dive Right I mean you
15535s	you feel like you are in the complete
15537s	driver's seat in I mean I look I think
15539s	obviously uh you know Gator uh he loves
15542s	a little BM it's like hey I I would be
15544s	telling the the Atlanta teams like hey
15545s	we we break them down and beat them bad
15548s	here they are gonna feel like they have
15551s	no options that there is no signs of
15554s	Life they can't beat us in the rush they
15556s	can't beat us in the dive just kill all
15559s	all hope here if you're the Atlanta rain
15563s	this is it this map it represents a fork
15568s	in the road for the Outlaws in this
15570s	series
15571s	One path to success well they start to
15574s	light a fire under the rain not that
15576s	they need it the other to fall in a rush
15579s	type mirror
15580s	and feel desperate not having options
15582s	have a look at this head-to-head
15584s	continuing to stand tall was the 10-foot
15587s	gaming warlord we know him to be Pelican
15589s	always a smile on his face happy going
15590s	lucky attitude but it's time to get
15593s	serious
15594s	and I mean you look at the Sombra stats
15596s	and when one team is just kind of
15598s	running through the other
15599s	pretty difficult to have uh you know one
15602s	player look fantastic especially on the
15604s	losing team we can take a look at some
15606s	honest stats coming on through here
15611s	kills I mean we were talking I mean you
15614s	could see that uh when we were just
15618s	watching it but to that level uh
15621s	that is wild uh also probably says that
15625s	shu is just forced to use him in more
15627s	defensive manner than like being able to
15629s	use them in an offensive aggressive way
15631s	uh but still I mean
15634s	I mean that is
15636s	that those are those are feel I I would
15638s	those are fearless kills right there
15641s	you couldn't ask for a more stock
15642s	indictment of the Outlaws and
15646s	kind of malaise that they've been
15647s	suffering over these first couple of
15648s	maps one thing is clear
15651s	something
15652s	has got a change
15655s	otherwise this goes from bad to ugly to
15657s	well I have to think about it for the
15659s	Houston Outlaws so let's talk right now
15662s	the sort of present shimbali Monastery
15664s	gets picked here we know Houston have
15666s	been quite flexible
15668s	pick up plenty of these Rush comps they
15669s	look quite good the Atlanta rain play a
15671s	really Elegant Style actually with the
15673s	deeper on defense at first point
15674s	sometimes we've also seen it from we saw
15676s	it from the Boston Uprising they use
15677s	calios in in that capacity they also put
15679s	them on Ryan yeah play Bastion which is
15681s	a different story but uh Again by no
15683s	means is this a favored map for Houston
15685s	[Music]
15687s	no uh I I think it's kind of hey the
15691s	dive isn't working let's change things
15692s	up let's force them to bring in hog
15694s	right you know dong hack has been great
15696s	on the Winston maybe you would help have
15698s	him bring in another tank throws things
15700s	off a little bit feels a little bit like
15702s	you're searching uh for your answers
15705s	here if you're Houston uh and if you're
15708s	Atlanta it's like hey Jess I've been
15710s	Hawk and just keep doing what you're
15711s	doing right I mean yeah it doesn't feel
15713s	like they have to do anything much more
15717s	complicated than that
15719s	Atlanta right bringing their resident
15721s	bird of prey The Outlaws looking more
15723s	like carrion by the second
15727s	I need a jump start
15728s	[Applause]
15729s	[Music]
15733s	[Applause]
15735s	so that that crowd flicks are awesome
15738s	it's uh
15740s	we'll have the Houston Outlaws on
15742s	defense here first so
15745s	a May Sombra look here on the early on
15749s	yeah obviously tons of time for her to
15751s	land the rain to uh decide on their
15753s	confidence
15755s	to do maybe just fires one shot here
15760s	I'm a Ganda
15762s	and he's doing just that looking about
15765s	headshot on Fearless I mean that's some
15766s	serious heel pressure you're putting
15768s	down but again a death of sight lines
15774s	everybody wanted to play that close I
15776s	guess
15778s	soccer will just be teasing some of
15780s	these players out of formation here that
15782s	cleave damage from the main really
15784s	starts to add up as these fights drag on
15786s	and violence already down the Houston
15788s	Outlaws
15790s	it's a full-scale route by the looks of
15792s	things they got nothing to show for this
15794s	hole Yeah a fast First Bite in fever
15797s	of the Atlanta Reign is uh I do wonder
15800s	do we see lit continue to play the uh
15802s	sojourn Sojourner can be quite good here
15804s	especially against some of these uh you
15806s	know Mantra comps putting down some big
15808s	damage is uh
15811s	see now where this next fight kicks off
15813s	I don't know if you're gonna be able to
15814s	make it around this first Corner fully
15816s	and that is a spot that the outlets do
15818s	not want to give up but they also don't
15819s	have speed to get back here and
15820s	challenge us aggressively yeah Atlanta
15822s	had the Lucio in this setup right which
15824s	we've seen teams combine nicely with the
15826s	reaper looks here but still very very
15828s	good and Elena really want to get the
15829s	fight started pork
15831s	Living Dangerously a good biode
15833s	connection there from Shoot
15835s	means romantra has to give a little bit
15836s	of ground but that may well Fearless
15838s	get some Nano here he's gonna have to
15840s	commit at some stage but the Atlanta
15842s	rail with said speed so maybe we don't
15845s	fancy this so much
15846s	it actually Nano stalker there and he
15849s	actually drops before he actually gets
15850s	the benefits of it so that is a huge
15853s	pickup so I think what would have
15854s	happened is right the stalker is sitting
15856s	there in Block they back out you know
15858s	run away from Fearless see us at Nano
15860s	they probably would have nanoed stalker
15862s	dropped the Blizzard at that moment
15863s	right and then just speed boosts back
15865s	into it uh but that is a huge pickoff
15867s	right getting rid of stalker when he
15869s	could have used that blizzard and also
15870s	maybe it's really just a Nana that goes
15873s	for nothing it says a lot about how
15874s	they're trying to play here but you
15875s	could really let that go right you can
15877s	just respawn come back to the fight
15879s	try again the rain cares so much about
15881s	keeping the pace up here
15884s	Hawk is boxed in yeah throw him in the
15887s	ice chest he is done
15890s	this is a really difficult corner to
15891s	make it around as well
15893s	we've seen teams like you kind of play
15895s	that may over on the side we've been
15896s	seeing teams have really great successes
15898s	like running Reinhardt here right like
15899s	inside of that small room that might
15901s	have something to do with the uh the
15902s	other DPS in that uh yeah so you play
15905s	you play that may though in that corner
15907s	right you have the raw Mantra you're in
15909s	a great spot to just have these fights
15910s	constantly come around no large win
15912s	condition like an EMP either it's gonna
15914s	be an aggressive sound barrier have you
15916s	done a response from there with an EMP
15917s	Midway through the fight with the buyer
15919s	Knight on stalker and made him an easy
15920s	Mark for two he's picked off by hawk can
15924s	he do any more from here the
15926s	annihilation from Fearless secruse a
15928s	heck of a lot of value Hawks pales in
15930s	comparison
15932s	so this is really good here for the
15934s	Houston Outlaws one minute Nano boost
15936s	available for this next fight
15939s	and on the other side you're just gonna
15940s	have lip with this overclock is you're
15942s	able to just lock down this choke it
15944s	makes it very difficult for Hawk to try
15945s	and push in shio actually goes over to
15947s	the breaks they don't want to play with
15949s	that speed they don't want to try and
15950s	get aggressive here maybe play for a
15952s	little bit more survivability
15954s	maybe the safer play at this point as
15956s	they are running out of rope
15958s	play ball here just to screen off at
15960s	least the uh rain would have liked to
15962s	get a bit of fearless in that moment
15963s	that they were trying to actually catch
15965s	Hawk there Hawk out here with a bio and
15966s	then they actually tried to get that may
15967s	water you know block him off but didn't
15970s	connect with it but I'm fearless he's
15971s	going in nowhere Cuts him off yet again
15975s	it's such a treacherous corner of the
15977s	map and the Outlaws are exploiting it
15978s	maliciously Phil is forced to back away
15981s	bayonet does connect as an opening here
15983s	for the Atlanta Reign if they want to
15984s	make this work he'll do his hacked for a
15986s	Time privacy scream thrown up by The
15988s	Outlaws that gives him the chance to
15989s	pick and feel the rock he was lost at
15991s	sea ice block there house from Pelican
15994s	gives him the time to get this blizzard
15995s	down and Hawk is Frozen stalker's not
15998s	gonna be able to get away but she is
15999s	about a fine shoe he delves so deep into
16001s	the backline for that kill
16003s	busy swatting it flies for the time
16005s	being here the return was stalker but
16007s	it's just the two of them yeah stalker
16009s	is on the point they're with shield for
16011s	a little bit of time his Fielder goes to
16012s	the karika to come back he gets the top
16014s	the EMP is gonna be there everything has
16017s	the Outlaws threw it up here blizzard
16019s	down ball throwing up here pelican in
16021s	trouble hold back on the doomfist he's
16023s	low scor can see better days as well and
16025s	here comes the flail violence not happy
16028s	Jan but he'll take the hole here foreign
16037s	early on it looked like the Atlanta rain
16040s	we're going to get it going right they
16041s	win that first fight and after that on
16043s	that corner it is all Outlaws complete
16046s	domination I I think as well you start
16048s	to see so obviously the land is
16051s	tremendous we don't have this EMP is
16054s	such a large win condition for some of
16056s	these teams right well you're not
16058s	playing that EMP on the other side now
16060s	playing the Sombra it's a little bit
16061s	less scary kind of what they're throwing
16063s	at you a couple of pretty interesting
16064s	picks right first to Lucio uh you know
16066s	from the Atlanta right you see shio just
16069s	getting punished there and the sojourn
16071s	pick up the lip
16072s	yeah I I I actually don't mind the Lucio
16075s	I actually think the Lucio comp there is
16077s	totally fine because you're trying to
16079s	get past that may wall it's really
16081s	difficult at times you can like try and
16083s	like rotate all the way around
16085s	disruption against the against that
16088s	anime romantra
16089s	I mean that's kind of where you need
16091s	that somber right for the hacks the EMP
16093s	make Fearless like very difficult as you
16097s	now will see lint pick up that Sombra
16099s	here on deep
16102s	in an enviable position for any team of
16104s	the pro level to be in the Atlanta rain
16106s	have to hold
16107s	very close here you can see Houston
16110s	Outlaws this is not out of the question
16111s	as well by the way and I mean let's
16113s	think Rialto very different map but the
16115s	choke at the end pretty similar yeah you
16117s	could definitely play around that
16119s	happy starting but we don't warning
16121s	shots fired Fielder's forced to duck
16123s	cover
16125s	so what's like best case scenario here
16127s	for the rain rate you get like maybe 30
16130s	40 seconds off the clock here and then
16132s	you basically have to hold that corner
16134s	for 2 30. this is not your first aging
16136s	ground right yeah you just want to get
16138s	what you can here very much like the
16139s	startup Havana
16141s	okay Fearless Living Dangerously here
16143s	but Geo down first
16145s	there's happy
16148s	there goes stalker
16152s	one tick in the Box for the Outlaws yeah
16155s	maybe like uh you know 15 20 seconds off
16158s	the clock there uh not able to build
16160s	towards really anything there for the
16161s	Atlanta rain so pretty good for the
16164s	Outlaws this is happy going to
16165s	consistently run this Hanzo so the hanza
16167s	is a little bit of an interesting pick
16168s	uh comparing it to the sojourn the Hanzo
16172s	was just you don't have to get the cart
16174s	that far just just just a log around the
16176s	corner a head shot right almost able to
16178s	dig Outfield they're there let's talk
16180s	Dragon strike in this chunk that's also
16181s	threatening
16182s	I've been getting a tickle here very
16184s	quickly Violet serves himself
16187s	clings himself in the way and asleep
16189s	Hawks left for a time and he's low
16191s	trying to back up here enough to disrupt
16193s	the
16193s	rain of playing ahead of it here comes
16195s	Pelican it's about to get Frosty in here
16197s	stalker desperately tracked through the
16199s	wall down the hall wasn't nearly as
16201s	lucky he won't be able to get away it's
16202s	gonna be manifest over to cheer over
16204s	what can he do here's the dragon strike
16206s	and it's hungry
16208s	forced off the cast
16211s	signs the fight from Houston
16214s	that was complete domination there from
16217s	The Outlaws the tremendous hold on
16220s	defense
16221s	then into a lightning fast offense as
16225s	Atlanta had no answers for them playing
16227s	some of those from matricomps
16230s	a Bonafide fled her deadlift from
16233s	Fearless 13 final blows at 24 and just
16237s	the one death
16239s	he gets everything he wants a lot of
16242s	support from his backline
16244s	they have the disruption Advantage the
16246s	sojourn picked for lip perhaps
16248s	ill-advised it definitely doesn't play
16249s	out the way would have hoped it to
16252s	in the Atlanta rain
16256s	they're so devastating with lip on
16258s	Sombra that if he plays anything else
16262s	you're kind of okay with it right uh I
16265s	mean obviously he's a tremendous player
16266s	can play so many different Heroes at a
16268s	high level but his Sombra is just
16271s	so difficult to play against that if
16274s	he's gonna play anything else you'll
16276s	take that there uh if you're the Houston
16279s	Outlaws
16280s	4-2 prediction
16283s	there optimistic perhaps but things are
16287s	looking up
16288s	For the Outlaws here
16291s	must see a bit of Soul Dynasty there big
16292s	fan of that
16294s	again
16296s	the vibe in the arena the vibe here some
16299s	hope infused into this Houston Outlaws
16302s	campaign but the reality is chapali
16304s	Monastery by some colloquially
16306s	considered a bit of a gimmick map it's
16308s	where you bust out the weird stuff it's
16309s	where you're getting advantage against
16310s	the team especially when you don't feel
16312s	great in a dive mirror eventually The
16314s	Outlaws are going to have to face the
16315s	music they're gonna have to face that
16317s	comp again
16319s	they better have something new I I think
16323s	they'll still feel pretty good here you
16325s	know obviously the Atlanta range you
16326s	know being in control of the series
16328s	getting those two maps early on
16329s	especially now with map selection pretty
16331s	huge uh looking back at it uh but if
16333s	you're the Outlaws you know you can you
16336s	can play well enough to steal a push or
16338s	a control right no playing that dive
16341s	style so uh two modes coming up here
16344s	rather shortly and even on some of those
16347s	Maps you may be able to play some of
16349s	these types of cards here uh like we saw
16351s	on shambali Monastery but you just see
16353s	me you said it in the stats you know
16355s	right after that the the difference of
16357s	being able to keep Fearless alive right
16359s	in the the amount of impact he can have
16362s	when he's not constantly being hacked
16364s	bionic related you know taken out of the
16366s	game oh look the role is so different
16367s	when you're playing romantri no rush
16369s	composition as opposed to Winston you're
16371s	so exposed as Winston to the you know
16374s	the power of an enemy backline the
16376s	prowess that they can have especially on
16378s	you know playmaker supports like Anna it
16380s	had to be Esperanza here for this push
16382s	Map There's No Way Atlanta Houston take
16384s	him back to New Queen Street even that
16386s	was I'm happy you probably think they'd
16387s	do all right on
16388s	this is a situation this is a map where
16391s	that dive composition can reign supreme
16394s	yeah you think that that dive can be
16396s	really strong here for the Atlanta rain
16398s	expect to see dong had come back in
16400s	their eyes out for that one donk to make
16402s	his return after the break it's map four
16404s	in his first to four between Houston and
16406s	Atlanta

16592s	folks now we have a game on our hands
16596s	the Houston Outlaws forced the series
16598s	ocean Bali monastery
16601s	and they get the pretty convincing one
16603s	too Matt a great defense really making
16606s	it hard for Atlanta to progress
16608s	oh that drink looks good yeah that's a
16611s	I've seen the ads yeah there's so many
16612s	different kinds like you have your
16614s	coffee opportunities whichever way you
16616s	want it drink your TAP whatever
16619s	top send it on over I will give it a
16622s	crack
16624s	a bit later ain't here maybe probably a
16626s	little bit frustrated they would have
16628s	loved a clean win here they really would
16630s	have loved to drag The Outlaws into the
16632s	Town Square and make an example of them
16634s	but it's not to be Fearless comes alive
16636s	this guy gets to play with a Matra gets
16638s	to feel powerful and he looks powerful
16640s	too I mean there was no breaking the
16643s	setup on that first Corner uh once they
16645s	kind of got things rolling there for
16647s	Houston setup was tremendous uh you know
16650s	13 final blows out of the 24. take a
16653s	look at some of the highlights right I
16655s	mean just kind of moving forward never
16657s	had to worry about no being hacked being
16659s	kind of uh you know whether it's like a
16660s	rally right with like a shield bash
16662s	getting stunned like uh once that's all
16665s	out of the game and you're gonna play
16666s	this like Rush a little bit more Brawley
16668s	style that's when the Outlaws look great
16671s	yeah they're really punished uh Atlanta
16673s	on this choke the first fight doesn't go
16675s	well right you think maybe they can burn
16677s	some clock early in the round no
16679s	basically all of that happened here
16681s	just it's a tough truck to push through
16683s	the Atlanta and fan is they're not
16685s	playing a flanking comp right they are
16687s	playing an upfront a front load of
16689s	damage I've got sojourn I've got May I'm
16691s	going to try and make you walk into my
16693s	Crosshair no way to really put a ton of
16695s	pressure on the back line right which is
16696s	where we've seen Atlanta be the most
16697s	successful throughout of Chio seem like
16699s	the only player who was able to get the
16701s	grips with human Violet but usually by
16703s	that point the fight's broken down
16705s	completely and he's just beginning an
16706s	exit
16707s	so you will see dong hat come back in
16710s	here for the Atlanta rain completely
16712s	expected once we see Esperanza
16716s	well the Outlaws cop a couple to the
16718s	chin but finally land a significant
16720s	strike
16722s	and the the worst thing is right is like
16724s	so you're gonna need a win in the dive
16726s	at some point at some point uh
16730s	here would be the optimal time to do so
16733s	uh push can be very clean flippy at
16735s	times also
16737s	map pick on control you can pick them up
16739s	you're not exactly picking the points
16741s	right uh it could be a complete toss at
16743s	what you're gonna get there one thing
16745s	we've noticed about push especially here
16746s	the mid-season Madness Tournament is
16748s	that momentum is everything Houston
16751s	we're behind by 70 meters I want to say
16754s	some some ridiculous amounts on new
16756s	Queen Street and all it took was one
16758s	fight gave the momentum Atlanta was
16761s	scattered they're getting picked off
16762s	staggered The Outlaws you know got that
16764s	lead with very little time left and were
16765s	able to convert that's all you need you
16768s	can have a bad start it's about how you
16770s	finish on these pushbacks Esperanza is
16773s	one of the Outlaws must win yeah it is
16777s	it is as close to a must win as you can
16779s	get here for the Houston Outlaws you win
16782s	this you swing that momentum completely
16784s	in your favor right uh you put them on
16786s	the back foot because now it's a little
16788s	bit of a okay well hey they won on Rush
16790s	now they've won on Dive Right they got
16792s	things rolling where do we go a little
16794s	bit uh a little bit more of a coin toss
16797s	there and where Atlanta rain you know
16798s	has the option to bring you
16801s	so the Outlaws chose the right path at
16803s	the fork in the road
16805s	but it's still a treacherous journey
16806s	ahead of them here
16809s	later ain't gonna be seeing him after
16811s	giving up that map we're back with a
16814s	vengeance here
16816s	on Esperanza
16821s	I fully expect uh Tracer Sombra dime
16824s	here
16825s	uh no nobody gonna be deviating from the
16828s	script there as uh then you're looking
16830s	at it again the last time we saw these
16832s	compositions Fielder just unbelievable
16834s	with the biotic grenades can they kind
16837s	of get out of the way can they be able
16838s	to keep Fearless in the supports alive
16840s	that's what the Houston Outlaws have to
16842s	do that's the Evergreen Crest question
16844s	in this series what can feelers get done
16848s	against the backline of Fielder enchio
16851s	can't just sit in the front line now and
16853s	get pocketed look big and swollen rather
16855s	Dorito like no now he needs to dive in
16857s	needs to start these fights needs to
16858s	take some risks
16862s	I think maybe just checking a little bit
16864s	there uh fielder for Pelican trying to
16867s	go around on the flight yeah you can't
16868s	obviously really spy check on Arno your
16870s	ammunition counts just too valuable but
16873s	spot that Sombra then you can turn on it
16874s	shoot fire on the background stalker
16876s	went to capitalize doesn't quite stick
16878s	The Landing
16886s	grenade up on The High Ground there is a
16889s	shoe as well on Fielder both honest
16892s	traded out early on he's like I don't
16895s	know like Wi-Fi how you made just like
16897s	across the mountain these players are
16898s	facing them they're loving grenades at
16900s	each other like that old-fashioned tank
16901s	game he used to play it's like uh like a
16903s	card four where you just look at the sky
16906s	yes that's right it's like the five
16909s	seconds into the rollout on strike and
16911s	just the knee drops on your head yeah
16912s	it's kind of Champs weekend we can make
16914s	a card reference
16916s	all right Pelican controls this neutral
16919s	pack for a Time it just wants to make
16921s	his presence felt apparently and it'll
16922s	set himself up for a turn to the table
16925s	side for a nice meal afterwards that is
16927s	a speculative pulse bomb stalker not
16928s	happy with that clearly
16930s	we'll have to wait for the next one
16931s	Happy's been very good clinical with his
16934s	pulse box over this series when he's had
16935s	a chance to play tracer
16937s	deals with living
16939s	this is a good spot for the Atlanta
16940s	arena being though they control this
16941s	High Ground like so the outlaw is gonna
16943s	have to break this setup and the longer
16946s	it goes the probably better it is for
16947s	Atlanta as you can Farm up this Nano you
16950s	can get closer to an EMP and you may not
16951s	even mean it to get that first
16952s	checkpoint stalking just tears his
16954s	senior to shreds there happy falls in
16957s	the one versus one there was a nice
16959s	sleep onto stalker but let's follow up
16961s	the Atlanta rain come at you in waves
16963s	and they just don't stop coming rally
16965s	attempt there's gonna be in here to
16966s	follow it up by there he's not able to
16968s	be kept alive dog pack digs deep for
16971s	that kill
16972s	Ed it just seems like you're throwing a
16974s	lot into that there if you're the
16975s	Outlaws right Violet I think is thinking
16977s	maybe you can get the rally off right in
16979s	time to keep shoe up does not happen
16981s	maybe they can use the EMP from Pelican
16983s	to get a kill or two not gonna happen
16985s	there either now the EMP from the
16988s	Atlanta Reign they sat on this for a
16989s	while it's time to hatch it
16991s	again really cares about controlling
16993s	this High Ground as usual the Atlanta
16994s	Rider making incremental progress but
16996s	now finally starting to run out of gas
16998s	here in the hours they they go to The
17001s	High Ground right uh and they can test
17003s	and you know obviously you end up
17004s	winning this fight uh as everybody jumps
17007s	for The High Ground they just actually
17008s	let that bot get that first checkpoint
17010s	uh so the Atlanta Reign actually do get
17013s	that first checkpoint which is quite
17015s	huge brutal
17017s	yeah it looks like maybe lip was
17018s	actually still on the bot at the time it
17020s	didn't need a huge uh amount of progress
17022s	going forward and he kind of stumbled
17024s	into it especially happy premature
17026s	recall there as he tried to get some
17027s	poke down on donk poles Fearless hanging
17030s	on now from you but he's gonna fall
17032s	after the fact no one there to keep
17034s	Violet topped up either so now Fearless
17036s	is glowing all blue and stuff there's no
17039s	way to keep him in the fight
17043s	the bot will go back the other way so 15
17046s	meters there for the Houston Outlaws
17051s	not a uh not a ton of progress
17053s	especially when the other team has that
17055s	checkpoint and they can just you know
17057s	there's no butt scratch right he can
17058s	just move on right on past all the uh
17061s	long Parts here out of the way
17064s	Builder again always threatening to
17065s	sleep
17067s	happy very uh itchy trigger finger on
17070s	that uh recall key does not want to link
17072s	it for any longer than the otherwise
17073s	must Felix would like to have stopped
17077s	slip taken down low Violet spots the
17079s	somber out sleuths her position
17083s	the happiness healings turn around he's
17085s	asking for all the shoe currently is
17086s	dealing with a very well large Simeon
17089s	threat
17090s	okay is deep yeah he's gonna go all the
17093s	way back around he's gonna get some
17095s	healing from Fielder up on The High
17097s	Ground is oh that's gonna be an EMP
17099s	they're gonna be able to follow this up
17100s	I feel that they're desperately trying
17102s	to keep them standing somehow he's still
17104s	alive
17106s	Godly
17108s	I mean the ability for these supports on
17112s	the right to keep each other up is just
17114s	so silly I I mean right there he's got
17116s	Fearless in his face looking happy is
17118s	there as well
17132s	Kill The Outlaws but they're getting
17134s	caught flat-footed here this is starting
17136s	to get out of hand
17138s	I mean they got to be careful Atlanta is
17140s	definitely in territory of being able to
17143s	finish the entire map here what a
17145s	statement that would be but I mean what
17147s	you got uh you got a nano here for
17149s	darling hack on the way in you have
17150s	rally as well
17152s	and they've done such a nice job of
17154s	being able to keep each other alive even
17156s	without the support holds
17159s	the odyssey's happy hits that s key
17162s	felis is narrowed what mechanism does he
17165s	have to actually engage
17166s	he looks nervous about it you can give
17168s	up space here too if you're the rain
17169s	like you don't have to just march on oh
17172s	you're kidding me
17175s	feel it it's found the cure for insomnia
17178s	lip's gonna have em here in a second but
17180s	they might lose Dawn hack yeah so I
17182s	think you probably just save this at
17184s	this point uh there's no reason to force
17186s	it
17204s	okay there's an opening here for Houston
17207s	first destination is that checkpoint
17209s	they need that here so they keep it
17211s	later rain maladroit they can convert
17215s	I mean you're just so far behind you
17218s	absolutely need the checkpoint in this
17220s	push right you put your head here yeah
17222s	you're at 22 meters obviously a little
17225s	bit more now and Counting uh you
17227s	actually
17228s	checkpoint off this fight because if you
17230s	don't the bot is gonna go so far back
17232s	into your territory
17234s	there it's good Pelican is down oh
17237s	they're sure
17239s	nasty stuff from Fielder again clinical
17242s	in his accuracy Fearless again finds
17245s	himself bereft of teammates and that bot
17248s	should be swinging right on back to the
17250s	Outlaws I mean what they have a 112
17253s	meters right the bot's gonna go all the
17254s	way back the outlaw has to like even get
17257s	close and you know make them sweat a
17260s	little bit you're gonna have to take the
17262s	bot so far the other direction like even
17265s	like you've really kind of like double
17266s	the amount of Bot distance but you're
17268s	not really gaining any progress
17270s	so quickly The Outlaws find themselves
17273s	again trying to play out from their
17274s	spawn a big Kill from Violet there to
17275s	kiriko okay
17277s	making the switch here hoping to find
17279s	something a little bit different Fielder
17280s	doesn't get Fearless with that woman
17285s	of it again man so you have uh the RICO
17290s	obviously a little bit more offensive
17291s	Focus but then also the ability to
17294s	Clinton some of these biotic grenades
17295s	that are coming on in right uh you're
17297s	constantly getting hit by them being
17299s	able to use that cleanse to get rid of
17302s	that effect and maybe punish off of that
17305s	happy refuses to lose
17308s	it's a highest amount of final blows in
17309s	the lobby right now one
17311s	adding two to his tally with that
17313s	beautiful double pulse okay he's around
17316s	here for Geo Live yeah okay so sleep on
17318s	Fearless now hacked now the MP maybe
17320s	Villa sister Limited in options and he's
17323s	back in a way he knows he can't push for
17324s	this
17325s	you'll get topped up here but it's slow
17327s	profile engineer is going to be thrown
17329s	down here shoe keeps wearing off lip but
17332s	the EMP still connects
17334s	dog hack just sits back gonna wait this
17336s	could certainly rush out finally looking
17337s	for a kill desperately the kunai is
17338s	probing
17340s	The Shield don't stay as many of those
17342s	off the bodies tentatively moving For
17343s	the Outlaws but they know that they are
17345s	in enemy territory here they're gonna
17346s	wait they climb it perfectly done that
17348s	tries to block it with his balls but
17350s	he's unsuccessful but two gets overrun
17352s	desperately finally tries to return and
17354s	keep him alive but he's not quick enough
17356s	don't hack does go down though exposing
17358s	himself to try and keep his sleeping
17360s	teammate standing
17361s	if you were to try to space himself from
17363s	this but he can't escape the EMP
17365s	connection and fighter finds another
17366s	with the kunai headshot here come the
17368s	Outlaws
17370s	now they will get the part rolling but
17372s	it does feel a little bit bad with a
17374s	minute to go have to use your EMP there
17377s	for both supports in the Tracer on the
17380s	other side but it felt like they were in
17382s	a dire situation they absolutely needed
17384s	to they get the checkpoint here Matt
17385s	it's all on the table
17388s	regardless of the amount of time they
17390s	get it
17391s	43 seconds left for the Outlaws to make
17394s	another unlikely comeback against the
17396s	Atlanta Reign on a push map
17401s	here Fielder just pre-healing him I
17405s	suppose
17406s	they'll kind of look at the targets here
17409s	beam me up Scotty
17411s	dropping back down now happy forced away
17413s	he's hacked briefly so he has got to
17415s	give some grounds it feels like they're
17416s	just waiting for the Outlaws to move
17418s	through this choke downloads are waiting
17419s	for a nano
17424s	violent meaning wounds
17425s	don't heck upstairs
17429s	here we go happy now committing here
17431s	it's gonna be a consuming Russian Violet
17432s	Nano given over to Fearless stalker
17434s	respectful distance being offered lip
17437s	revealed for a time but the Outlaws are
17438s	too busy focusing on big monkeys Then
17441s	There It Is
17442s	Smithereens Dives in Geronimo he says
17446s	it's on for young and old
17449s	the Atlanta ranks had the Outlaws Lim
17451s	from limb here
17453s	the last prestigious of overtime
17454s	takedown it was just Pelican to have a
17456s	look in
17458s	one more touch from happy he does get
17461s	her with the last liver of health and
17462s	that is gonna be that
17465s	he Let It Rain take us to match points
17470s	look as clean as ever I think it is
17473s	clear when these two teams are playing
17476s	the dive
17477s	that Atlanta is just on another level I
17480s	mean we we've actually seen that the
17481s	Outlaws have proven to be on a different
17483s	level than everybody else except the
17485s	Atlanta rape uh it just seems like maybe
17488s	in this specific comp at the moment uh
17491s	there is a bit of a a gap between these
17494s	teams says Atlanta able to deal with the
17497s	Outlaws pretty uh pretty convincingly
17499s	there on Esperanza yeah apparently the
17501s	scale of strength is logarithmic because
17504s	the Atlanta rain have a healthy
17507s	gap between them and the Outlaws
17509s	performance wise right now
17512s	so the one question lingers
17514s	what's next what's next for Houston
17517s	I mean well so what I mean you have
17520s	obviously your map selection you know
17522s	you would like to play Rush style
17525s	compositions uh but I believe the next
17527s	map in the set would be like a control
17529s	right so uh
17532s	what can you do in that type of map type
17534s	to because the the points right are are
17537s	random they'll come up so uh really
17541s	getting your map pick here uh you can't
17543s	exactly Force the strategy as much as
17545s	you possibly would like it might have to
17547s	be Antarctic peninsula
17550s	or Houston
17551s	a map where yeah they can
17555s	Force this Rush Style on the Atlanta
17557s	rain but they don't have any I mean I
17559s	guess there are chokes on those Maps but
17561s	the context is so vastly different from
17563s	shambali monastery let's have a look
17565s	back over the map that was here Matthew
17566s	very strong start for the Atlanta range
17569s	here despite the best efforts of shoe
17570s	and Co
17571s	Pace was really favoring the range here
17575s	yeah and I think with how much progress
17578s	the Atlanta rain gained early it just
17581s	puts you on the back foot so much right
17583s	if you're the Houston Outlaws because
17585s	the bot was constantly going deep into
17588s	their territory and although I thought
17590s	uh like you mentioned I know happy I
17592s	think has had actually a really good
17593s	series uh All Things Considered uh even
17596s	with some big kills from him they're
17599s	never able to really make the Atlanta
17601s	Reign sweat in terms of gaining progress
17603s	they pick up their checkpoints right the
17606s	very next fight they turned around and
17607s	said packing
17609s	look at that double pulse it's a thing
17612s	of beauty make no mistake happy was The
17615s	Shining Star for the Houston Outlaws and
17617s	you'd see the once uh that cleanse comes
17620s	out the Nanos there they just end up
17621s	popping the DMP and yeah like you
17623s	mentioned Antarctic Peninsula uh will be
17625s	the next map in the set
17628s	everything rides on this map for the
17630s	Houston Outlaws to stay alive in this
17632s	series to have any hope of toppling
17634s	their greatest Rivals to date the
17637s	Atlanta Reign have thrown down the
17639s	gauntlet
17640s	what does Houston have left

17832s	thank you while these Cowboys have found
17834s	themselves in the last chance
17837s	Saloon
17839s	still I die for the Houston Outlaws now
17841s	as they let Esperanza slip away or
17843s	rather have it rip from their hands and
17845s	have them suplexed after the fact
17848s	brutal stuff for near Atlanta rain still
17850s	looking perfect Builder is the most
17853s	impactful player in this game and it is
17855s	not even close
17856s	I mean Fielder has been unbelievable I
17859s	know those biotic grenades are also then
17862s	trying to deal with lip and stalker in
17865s	your back line and making the Fearless
17867s	is life uh hell I mean it has been a
17871s	rough one for the Outlaws thus far
17875s	no time for jokes here happy
17879s	has a set jaw for this entire series
17882s	he's played real like you know there's
17885s	one player maybe you would worried about
17887s	on the Outlaws even from the outside
17888s	looking in like uh everybody else has
17891s	been you know rockstars their whole
17893s	career like happy has been up and down
17894s	at times yeah I've been on some teams
17896s	that have not been awesome but he has
17898s	played great today I thought uh you know
17899s	in the Tracer like maybe not the same
17901s	impact as stalker but constantly able to
17903s	hit those pulse bombs at the moments
17905s	they need him to get picks he is uh I
17907s	think
17908s	you were to take one thing away here
17910s	from The Outlaws is that like you know
17912s	you you happy can play on that level and
17914s	you know be a big time player in the
17916s	finals
17917s	and that's Amplified right in a match
17919s	like this in front of a crowd like this
17922s	when the rest of his team and some of
17923s	their roles are floundering I mean look
17925s	we have some players that are uh
17928s	All-Stars in the regular season and then
17930s	maybe uh you know come back down to
17932s	normal a little bit when we get towards
17933s	playoff time postseason uh seeing happy
17936s	playing at this level here is a great
17938s	sign
17940s	versus the Houston Outlaws want to come
17943s	around happy
17944s	get their engine started here let's talk
17946s	about the big boss I mean yeah I mean
17948s	the bionic grenades coming back to
17950s	normal right only about five oh okay
17952s	yeah sure yeah really really uh yeah
17954s	really converging to the mean here Matt
17956s	I mean uh just think about his career as
17960s	a whole right starts playing by remote
17963s	at the opposite time zone right
17966s	Paris uh going from there to Winter
17969s	stage final there yeah going from there
17971s	to being a a world champion then uh but
17974s	it wasn't straight away on that Dallas
17976s	team yeah true there was some real
17978s	struggles and field had to fight through
17979s	some medicine was kind of hostile to
17981s	like other aficionados like by La Moira
17984s	for example I even think after last year
17985s	obviously people knew like Fielder and
17987s	Chio were good but I think there were
17989s	some people who were like oh Dallas will
17991s	be fine like without them right like uh
17993s	you know they're I was like those types
17995s	of supports out there uh in to see them
17998s	come to Atlanta and be so stand out and
18003s	so dominant uh it just shows like how
18006s	important they were last year to the
18007s	Dallas team and then how uh you know
18010s	essential they can be to a championship
18011s	team now moving forward
18013s	on either side of the stage
18015s	the remnants of that incredible team
18018s	on the left
18020s	the heart it's Fearless on the right
18023s	it's the soul Jake's probably got it a
18025s	little bit of a summoning Circle in the
18027s	background that Outlaws Jersey he used
18029s	China he's dressed for the part man yeah
18032s	maybe maybe they put him on the jet
18033s	they'll bring him in it's an honorary
18036s	sub here but uh Antarctic Peninsula uh
18039s	you you picked this because I mean you
18041s	mentioned it this is probably the
18044s	the map in the control pool that you
18046s	feel like Rush kind of fits the best in
18049s	of course like most of the points right
18051s	like there there are some let's say you
18053s	would have picked like Nepal here or
18055s	maybe even like at least this Tower
18056s	could have been an option right yeah
18058s	I think that's really where you can
18060s	start to you know put Fearless back in
18063s	that position
18064s	where he's the focal point uh Atlanta
18067s	Atlanta's not going to play The Rush
18068s	right you would have saw them bring in
18070s	pop
18071s	uh if they were to do so right dong ax
18074s	stays in the game so it it feels like
18077s	that
18079s	they know that maybe the Outlaws want to
18081s	do that they don't particularly care uh
18083s	they're going to go in play when they've
18086s	been great at the entire series
18088s	well the stage is set everybody
18091s	and the Atlanta Arena locked and loaded
18093s	with the knowledge they are one map away
18097s	from mid-season Madness champions
18101s	here we go sub-level it is
18104s	and not just winning the mid-season
18106s	Madness but I think just sending a large
18108s	message to the rest of the league
18111s	um if you guys want a championship at
18113s	the end of the year you got a few months
18116s	to level up don't quite fit in a tweet
18119s	yeah because because we're coming right
18121s	I mean there's there's also going to be
18123s	no slowdown with this Atlanta roster so
18125s	you should have to play Dive here
18127s	generally accepted definitely
18130s	the cops that they have to come out with
18132s	them gets to do what he does needs a bit
18134s	of healing right now so drops the bubble
18136s	belated to be fairies if I hold on to
18138s	that for quite some time
18139s	first phyllis's bubble almost like kind
18142s	of Trapped him in right where Fielder
18143s	couldn't get that line of sight so
18145s	obviously we'll take our Doncaster means
18147s	that he also can't initiate while he's
18148s	sitting under that
18149s	another foreign
18155s	yeah the thing is is like when we see
18157s	Atlantic get a player week or a buyout
18159s	it seems like everybody collapses on
18162s	them so fast it's determining I mean
18165s	remember even on uh on ilios in map one
18168s	right Fearless is going to try and Chase
18169s	donk when he gets low and nobody else
18171s	there to finish it off Atlanta it seems
18173s	like if they get a player weak everybody
18175s	is converging on them within seconds uh
18177s	there is just no hesitation
18180s	so the word team plays throwing around a
18182s	lot bandied I'd say around pretty
18184s	commonly without context always but I
18187s	think that's one way in which like that
18188s	team play Edge is really being displayed
18190s	here by the Atlanta rain here's an EMP
18192s	shoe under extreme duress is having to
18194s	get out of the bubble it's impossible
18195s	One Pilot though they shift the focus to
18197s	the other support just in time they're
18198s	stalker doubles back and he'll have both
18201s	of them
18202s	so we'll see though maybe the Outlaws
18204s	looks like getting closer to a flip here
18207s	is
18208s	stalker forces Pelican out so you saw
18210s	this tracer on the board
18214s	yeah they are just nasty
18218s	stalker with three in that fight what an
18220s	opener again off the back of that lip
18222s	EMP but everybody from the rain they're
18225s	like moss on a rock they just turn up
18229s	I think they're just desserts The
18231s	Outlaws do there I'm sorry like
18234s	Chinese buddy yeah
18240s	just doesn't make any sense
18242s	it's like a NBA meme welcome to the Guam
18246s	tigers
18250s	it's ridiculous talk about styling on
18252s	your opponent's here all right fielder
18253s	no sleep okay Pelican gets rid of him
18257s	so the Outlaws now able to execute their
18259s	game plan she hoping the next Target
18260s	that rally goes for naught he's not
18263s	having to keep his team standing there
18264s	so that's the Silver Lining I guess for
18266s	the Outlaws nearly get the point that's
18267s	not really the biggest deal but getting
18268s	that Brig ultimate out definitely helps
18270s	things they're heading back into another
18272s	EMP cycle
18274s	and this will be the big one right can
18276s	they live through here oh lip actually
18278s	he sees the translocator the help oh
18284s	I have a little respect perhaps slip sat
18288s	there and watched him health
18289s	steamrolled by happy
18291s	you can't look at anything about right
18293s	now he means business business hasn't
18295s	been great though
18297s	they need to be able to live through
18299s	this next EMP that's going to come down
18300s	that's gonna actually be the Nano there
18302s	on a Geo to keep him alive and that
18303s	seems like Enough For the Outlaws at
18304s	least for the most part they start to
18306s	uh but the rain are gonna go on the
18308s	offensive here really fast yeah
18309s	eventually the Outlaw's gonna be forced
18310s	to fight for this whether they want to
18311s	disengage or not but they do wait at
18314s	that now so both of them later in
18315s	support ultimates go for very little
18316s	over the last couple of minutes
18318s	it's what you're looking out for the
18320s	later rain
18322s	back
18323s	in action long hack slept but it's
18325s	inconsequential because stalker is
18327s	running roughshod over the Outlaws I
18330s	mean the EMP comes out from flip and
18332s	happy is dead within seconds
18334s	nobody able to make it back so but you
18338s	do end up winning like that one fight
18340s	which gives you that 44 to get the kill
18342s	on a lip they have to wait a little bit
18344s	but that is about it therefore the
18346s	Outlaws early on is the lip gets at EMP
18350s	they come on in right after that and it
18353s	is game over
18354s	I've had Second Chances third even the
18358s	Outlaws
18359s	no more lives left for these cats I'm
18362s	interested how this plays out it looks
18363s	like Houston is actually gonna go and
18365s	play this for a mantra based composition
18367s	uh when Atlanta sees this do they
18370s	continue to just kind of play the dive
18372s	can they executed it at a high level to
18374s	make it work against this style or play
18377s	ah
18379s	because what can Atlanta moved to off of
18382s	this right
18387s	they may all be locked into this
18388s	composition
18390s	we'll see how it Stacks up against the
18391s	Outlaws who are for their last desperate
18394s	attempt
18395s	switching to the rush
18398s	Pelicans made pretty impactful so far
18400s	tough to trap donkakia
18404s	with anime wall you can just leap back
18405s	over it
18407s	The Meanwhile by time for lip and
18409s	stalker to dissect the armors
18414s	are coming from the opposite way ready
18416s	to try and collapse but yellow's able to
18419s	live on through that if somebody wants
18421s	to stand his ground here Nemesis 4
18422s	activated donkey does not want to tangle
18424s	with those hands he's having to get away
18426s	again a second time he got bio just
18428s	before he's able to walk away from that
18430s	this time the Outlaws try and collapse
18432s	on him he's able to get away once more
18433s	they do have to give up the point
18434s	Atlanta and now they need to be careful
18436s	how they approach it's a piecemeal
18438s	execution but stalker brings Pelican
18440s	down
18444s	so there it is yeah I mean a few players
18446s	get weak there for the Outlaws and it
18448s	does not happen as fast but you know
18450s	some shots from stalker from behind on
18452s	the supports everybody else trying to
18454s	play for the point they get a hack on
18456s	the Pelican he starts to get low you
18458s	double pack finish him off and Things
18460s	Fall Apart so let's see how the Outlaws
18462s	play this you know when you don't have
18464s	Point control right trying to like run
18465s	in because I think this is where the
18467s	rain can really make this work well this
18469s	is where lib can guarantee they're gonna
18470s	walk right into his range
18473s	need a feather touch the Reign to deal
18475s	with this
18476s	location somebody got his translocator
18479s	right before that
18480s	be perhaps
18482s	the one making that happen so we are
18484s	gonna invest though don't hack yes and
18486s	that oh fighting is time for now but
18488s	eventually that Hellfire is gonna run
18489s	dry he's hacks from The High Ground or
18491s	at least he's having
18492s	stalker another pulse form on violent
18495s	finally had the rally going as well he's
18498s	the EMP from The Outlaws but people
18500s	it comes in seconds feeling stuck inside
18506s	the Bliss in the Atlanta right 55
18508s	accounting here
18510s	they bring the dive copy and they say
18512s	we're committed to this we're locked in
18513s	in for a penny in for a pound dog hack
18516s	lead the way they're doubling down on it
18518s	now right because violin is going to
18520s	play the Lucio you're gonna have shoe
18522s	play Moira and get a Reaper in the mix
18524s	uh so this this is like as Rush as you
18528s	can get trying to play against Atlanta
18530s	Fire Knight on Fearless he's gonna push
18531s	ahead anyway they're running out of
18533s	March and it's violent courts
18536s	where is Sue gonna go here he might have
18539s	played available Fearless at least gets
18541s	an Annihilation kill but the wheels are
18543s	falling off the bus dog hack finally
18545s	finds that Moira felis has to back away
18547s	the Outlaws are running out of time to
18549s	even contest and I mean that was your
18551s	Annihilation right there right Pelican
18553s	now goes over to Tracer probably just to
18555s	get a touch and this is just such a
18558s	desperate moment to your stalker with
18559s	the pulse bomb could put it away happy
18562s	has to reveal himself immediately cops a
18564s	shield Bash from Chio the wrecking ball
18566s	swap Pelican touches here able to recall
18568s	away
18569s	how quickly can feel us get here back on
18571s	the wrecking ball what a classic
18572s	throwback will it be enough stalker's
18576s	pulse ready to deliver the flight away
18579s	from it that would avoid certain death
18580s	but he still gets brought down stalker
18582s	is inevitable Violet trying to
18584s	desperately skate away but that's
18585s	another one for the young Prodigy
18587s	there's nothing you can't do in the
18589s	Atlanta rain are here to bring the house
18591s	down Pelican desperate trying to back
18593s	away
18595s	but bringing the West Wind to Seoul he
18598s	land right all the way to the throne the
18601s	one that was promised to them in the
18603s	championship
18604s	your mid-season Madness victus
18610s	I mean they just made her look easy
18612s	there towards the end the Outlaws try to
18615s	make anything happen uh they're bringing
18618s	in the reaper there uh trying to play
18621s	any style of rush to make an impact and
18624s	it did not matter the range is able to
18628s	deal with them
18629s	rather easily and I I think they just
18632s	prove I mean
18633s	we knew there were levels right and we
18636s	knew you know maybe some tier breaks uh
18639s	when you look at kind of where the power
18640s	rankings are at
18642s	maybe a bigger one between these teams
18645s	team thought
18646s	the poignant moment there as well as
18648s	Fearless congratulates
18650s	former teammates
18654s	the Atlanta rain cool Karma collector we
18656s	saw Chio take a deep breath before that
18658s	last round he knew they were on the
18660s	precipice the precipice of Victory
18664s	the precipice
18666s	for this franchise and now the president
18671s	get that Trophy up there Atlanta raid
18672s	your mid-season Madness champions
18676s	so I know Park obviously only plays one
18680s	map uh in this set but he's been really
18682s	strong and they have to play Diva or
18684s	Mantra based comps uh it seems like
18686s	gator kind of has this team so you know
18689s	well coordinated they're all on the same
18691s	page they're able to just collapse so
18694s	fast with these Dives just nobody uh on
18697s	the same level as Atlanta Reign Hawk
18700s	came so close to hoisting a trophy of
18703s	his own
18704s	they fell to the Shanghai dragons in
18706s	that unfortunately Grand Final couple
18707s	years ago finally
18710s	his time has come it's not the big one
18713s	but it's big enough for now yeah now you
18715s	see uh vigilante get a chance there a
18718s	Hoist the trophy
18720s	you know what it is though it's funny
18722s	they seem happy but they also seem like
18724s	they expected this right sometimes you
18727s	see a team win and they they hop up
18729s	everybody is just you know a sigh of
18732s	relief you see how much this means to
18733s	vigilante it's uh somebody you know uh
18737s	he comes it's been a long time it's been
18738s	a long road really get a title is huge
18741s	but you also see that this team I think
18743s	answer finds it on the the whole the
18746s	whole Champion oh yeah the year-long
18748s	championship this one's nice it feels
18750s	good but this is a team man they feel
18753s	like they are just a large Cut Above the
18756s	Rest and that this is just going to be a
18759s	footnote in the story of a tremendous
18761s	season
18762s	so much trust put in data to build this
18766s	roster up yeah you know he came across
18768s	live by chance he didn't even know if he
18770s	had to bring him onto the team he just
18772s	asked and apparently
18774s	there was a pathway to printing
18777s	this ridiculous Elite
18779s	level player under the roster
18782s	and now as Studio pointed out I don't
18784s	think he's a franchise we have a
18785s	positive win record yet but the fortunes
18788s	of the Atlanta Reign have truly been
18790s	reversed and the sky isn't even the
18793s	limit
18794s	no I mean you you look across the board
18797s	we think the Outlaws are the closest
18800s	thing to this Atlanta rain roster and
18802s	Atlanta you know pretty much
18805s	from start to finish right just a
18807s	shambali monastery they fall short the
18809s	rush looks really good for Houston there
18810s	I also think you know he had lip kind of
18812s	playing that uh Soldier for a while but
18815s	man I'll say to that if it's not close a
18817s	pleasure is always lazy Devon to bring
18818s	the coverage of the mid-season match to
18820s	you for myself and Matt thank you as
18823s	always for your support and for your

18997s	victory cheer and fildo saying I feel us
19001s	I knew that
19004s	they were on a trajectory for greatness
19006s	I was trying to figure out why Sean said
19007s	and Danny said he's gonna take the whole
19008s	crowd out to dinner he's gonna get over
19010s	here oh really yeah take us out the door
19012s	hit me up don't hugs was there ever a

19614s	that
19615s	um they committed onto me or I've been
19617s	part of the org for four and a half
19620s	years since late 2018 and
19622s	um since Atlanta Academy has been with
19625s	the same people
19626s	um they put a lot of faith me back there
19628s	they put a lot of faith in me back now
19630s	and developed a lot of different rosters
19631s	and um
19634s	they just
19635s	everyone's supported me and they trust
19638s	me they uh
19640s	and I don't know it's just yeah I just

19714s	thank you
19716s	foreign
19734s	well yesterday against the Outlaws was
19736s	my first uh the first time playing in a
19740s	while uh I didn't play as well as I
19743s	wanted to as I expected to and also even
19745s	today I did play new Queen Street but uh
19748s	I could have shown more there's
19750s	definitely some disappointment and uh
19752s	things that I can reprove one but right
19755s	now more than that I just feel more
19757s	happy that our team won and that's more
19759s	important
19760s	everyone
19762s	is a
19764s	business
19775s	yeah yeah
19778s	okay we still have half of the league
19780s	left so what are your what's your
19783s	resolution coming into the latter half
19784s	of the season
19786s	um whenever I do come out on the match I
19788s	will at least
19790s	break five teams down
19802s	again
19821s	thank you
19824s	so live you win tournaments you win
19827s	trophies wherever you go do you think
19829s	that you are actually kind of bringing
19831s	the trophy with you everywhere uh yeah
19833s	okay
19839s	[Music]
19844s	um
19862s	[Music]
19863s	so uh what's your secret to being
19866s	undefeated and
19868s	um they've answered that although like
19872s	even though if we were doing really well
19873s	in scrims and practice uh we still
19875s	thought we still found things to improve
19877s	on and we wanted to be even more ahead
19881s	even though we were already ahead of the
19882s	other pack so I think that's one of the
19885s	reasons that we're so ahead of the other
19887s	teams
19921s	so like lip you are a Sombra itself so
19925s	uh by coming into the latter half of the
19928s	tournament what's your uh goals and lip

19934s	well last season but still I wasn't able
19936s	to win win it all last season this
19939s	season just not only the mid season
19941s	Madness I want to do even better and win
19943s	all the way to the Grand finals foreign
19971s	so of course the players this one's
19973s	going to be really special to the
19974s	players but I can only imagine that this
19977s	is so special to you as well
19979s	um how do you like what what does
19981s	winning this mid-season Madness mean to
19983s	you
19984s	um I lost my voice so
19987s	um it means a lot uh I've been on a team
19990s	since the beginning and this is the
19993s	first um tournament where I'm Anna on
19996s	the roster so I'm not sure what you
19998s	think about that one right so
20000s	um I'm really
20002s	um it means more than anything uh I
20005s	literally feel like this has been like a
20007s	five-year project and it's just like
20009s	it's um this is like the finally the
20012s	right one you know

20140s	South Korea
20142s	it's always been something very special
20144s	relationship between those two things
20145s	and seeing the crowd turn up here more
20148s	than just the proof of concept A
20150s	Homecoming for our great
20152s	game Matt it's going to put it five
20155s	years Blood Sweat tears bit of
20157s	disappointment
20159s	sweet victory yeah hopefully hopefully a
20162s	little bit of honey and lemon on the
20163s	side
20164s	it's funny try and try and uh you know
20166s	wax poetic a little bit the map tries it
20169s	with kneading tea
20170s	six years of this
20171s	hasn't changed
20174s	that's you don't like change rats that's
20177s	fine uh if you like it all by the moment
20180s	kind of here from him speak though uh
20184s	like this is not the end for the Atlanta
20187s	ring right this is a you know nice to
20190s	have in a goal of be dominance from
20193s	start to finish in the season and right
20195s	now they're on a trajectory that uh that
20198s	looks very much like it'll be the case
20199s	right the Houston Outlaws we thought
20201s	that they would give them the toughest
20203s	fight out of anybody uh they did the
20206s	other day today it was not that close
20208s	and you look across the landscape of the
20211s	league and you gotta Wonder like who is
20212s	gonna challenge this team
20214s	the arm they talk about how they work
20216s	very hard every day I mean we believe it
20218s	something really struck me was that we
20220s	knew that we were ahead but that wasn't
20221s	remotely enough
20223s	the Atlanta rain of course your 2023
20226s	mid-season Madness Champions winning it
20229s	by basically a landslide really timing
20232s	up uh in that I guess rematch against
20234s	the Houston Outlaws beautiful moment
20238s	let's talk about our player of the match
20239s	here it's unanimous it's been decided
20241s	filled up player of the match but he was
20244s	tremendous right like we talked about it
20246s	like it all series long the biotic
20249s	grenades it was a real Difference Maker
20251s	you saw it in the stats uh you saw it
20253s	just by watching them play I mean look
20255s	at this just right to that back corner
20258s	already in the mix and that just seals
20262s	the deal on some of those kills is it
20265s	was a huge difference maker today uh
20267s	really you know when you kind of looked
20270s	across like I actually thought like
20272s	shoot played pretty well and they
20273s	actually did a nice job trying to keep
20274s	them alive for a period of time but just
20276s	those bio grenades are just a huge
20278s	difference generally accepted that honor
20280s	is just a must-have in these
20282s	compositions but Fielder going above and
20285s	beyond having an outsized impact over
20287s	every single map that he played in doing
20290s	that I mean 50 minutes played right on
20292s	on the honor to have you know almost
20294s	seven bionic grenade kills uh I mean
20297s	that is that is insane stuff there from
20300s	Fielder obviously all the other stats
20302s	really strong as well what a game what a
20305s	team the Atlanta rain have done it but
20308s	they're far from done here that's right
20309s	still half a season to go and on that
20312s	note again it's been a pleasure of
20313s	myself until I see Matt Morello here to
20314s	take you through a journey of a match
20317s	and a tournament and after the
20319s	mid-season break we'll pick it right
20320s	back up for now good night we're gonna
20321s	head over to the desk break down an
20324s	incredible performance from a fantastic
20326s	team
20329s	thank you both so much yeah we're back
20332s	here for watch point to you know put a
20335s	button on uh all that is the mid-season
20338s	and Madness what a dominant performance
20340s	we just got to witness from the Atlanta
20342s	range surely we did hope for a closer
20344s	match in fact we hope for the game we
20346s	saw yesterday to happen for the Grand
20348s	Final but honestly Atlanta rain Nature's
20350s	looked like they downloaded everything
20353s	the outside the Houston Outlaws did just
20356s	yesterday and and they rocked up with so
20358s	much confidence and so much dominance uh
20361s	any quick reactions to that match and
20363s	disappointments maybe regrets anything
20367s	Jake anything no it's okay they don't
20369s	they don't pay me to care anymore
20371s	I'm just happy that that we we saw such
20374s	incredible play out of the Atlanta rain
20376s	I think they deserve this Championship
20377s	as much as I was you know wanting the
20380s	Outlaws to give them a challenge and and
20381s	make this a great grand final
20383s	so far this meta I just think the
20385s	Atlanta rain were Untouchable we heard
20387s	it that they're in their mindset I think
20388s	that's exactly what you want in a
20390s	professional team right even though
20391s	they're on top even though they're the
20393s	best team in the league they're still
20394s	pushing to innovate and that's a very
20396s	difficult thing to do it's just really
20397s	impressive mindset coming out from the
20399s	Atlanta rain that's why they're the
20400s	champion today
20401s	yeah I echoed that as well I mean just
20403s	pushing the boundaries when you're
20404s	already the best team in the world it's
20405s	ridiculously hard I'm really happy for
20408s	these guys Fielder at this point now
20410s	just been dominant for so long starting
20412s	out on Paris Eternal in 2020 winning
20414s	that stage of course Dallas fuel in 21
20416s	uh 22 I mean he's been competing in so
20419s	many playoff games right now in so many
20421s	stages right and this is you know
20423s	arguably his you know best moment in
20426s	this uh mid-season Madness right now so
20428s	Fielder he has a full career of stage
20431s	experience and play of experience but
20433s	this was his best match yet there was a
20435s	spectacular to see yeah Fielder chill
20436s	also stalker as well he put an
20439s	incredible show today I think every
20441s	curveball that Houston Outlaws through
20443s	today they just Atlanta Rangers had the
20445s	answers to everything they would
20446s	definitely deserve to be Crown the
20448s	champions for this tournament yeah but
20450s	Outlaws of course still a tremendous
20453s	performance they showed here in the
20455s	mid-season Madness making it all the way
20457s	to that final showing us a lot of great
20459s	looks and uh it should be be giving
20461s	every Outlaws fan a lot of Hope for the
20463s	rest of the season I mean they are
20465s	undoubtedly the second best team we have
20468s	in the league with the rain spearheading
20470s	it and so far not many teams have come
20473s	close to really take down either of the
20475s	two and they thought it out for not just
20478s	of course the honor of the mid-season
20480s	Madness matlabs title which is not a
20482s	real thing but we make it up to be
20484s	mad libs the Madlibs
20489s	oh that I know that actually sounds as
20492s	good as I thought it was by the way the
20494s	title it doesn't matter because they get
20497s	the cash to back it up and that's what's
20499s	really important they will be walking
20500s	away with 500 000 US Dollars and of
20504s	course the advance the huge snap was
20506s	excuse me will be awarded with 200 000
20509s	and uh yeah that's not it's not a little
20512s	amount of cash to just be taking home in
20516s	the middle of the season they didn't
20517s	have these prize pools when I was a
20518s	gaming I'll tell you that that's also
20520s	like a long time oh it's a long time ago
20522s	half a million dollars grown is
20524s	experience what would you guys do with
20525s	half a million dollars what would I give
20526s	it to you right now you don't you don't
20527s	want to know what what I would have a
20530s	million dollars
20532s	leave it up for interpretation even
20534s	better well I'm obviously saving it up
20537s	from my daughter sorry retirement sure
20539s	college funds foreign
20543s	uh you know I buy lead tokens my more
20546s	skin more
20549s	that's a lot by tokens for everybody
20552s	[Applause]
20555s	drinks on me rest of it I'm keeping it
20557s	for myself
20562s	I'm very I'm a generous guy okay nice
20566s	unfortunately you guys didn't make the
20568s	money so we'll never know what they
20569s	actually will be doing with it uh of
20571s	course one thing I want to mention is
20573s	that not only did the teams fight for
20575s	something worth fighting for no everyone
20577s	in the back end of the show was also
20580s	fighting it out in their brackets yeah
20584s	the real jobs
20586s	from our production they have a
20589s	challenge going on ever since day one
20591s	and
20593s	um
20594s	yeah that's them you see the belt it's a
20597s	championship belt after day one they
20599s	were actually just only two perfect
20601s	brackets left out of thousands and one
20604s	of them belonged to our tape operator
20606s	Neil Neil I know what a ghost what an
20609s	actual goat uh so uh he uh two times
20614s	yeah this is the second time he's taking
20617s	that makeshift belt he's gonna load it
20619s	over there what a guy well uh as I said
20622s	the second time so congratulations uh
20624s	there is another celebration of course
20625s	also for our crew our producer Nathan is
20628s	actually set to get married next weekend
20631s	so congratulations
20633s	[Applause]
20636s	and Sophia we wish you all the best for
20638s	many many years to come now gentlemen
20641s	this is it this was the mid-season
20643s	Madness of course there is more to come
20646s	in the season but I still want to get
20648s	your final thoughts to wrap it all up
20650s	final thoughts on the missing medicine
20658s	there we go wow wow I uh wow thank you
20663s	Danny um I look I think I think this
20666s	really sets up the second half of the
20668s	season in a really good way for the
20670s	Houston Outlaws I mean there are
20672s	tournaments that I played in that I
20673s	think back and I'm like oh that was
20675s	really winnable like how did it I win
20676s	that tournament this one for the Houston
20678s	Outlaws I think they'll accept the
20680s	Atlanta rain we're just so dominant in
20681s	this one this is what what's Atlanta
20683s	Reigns tournament to win they are the
20684s	best team in the world but it sets up
20686s	the second half of the season because
20687s	now we know the Atlanta rain they are
20689s	you know at the very top undoubtedly the
20692s	top team in the world are they going to
20694s	continue that dominance is there anyone
20696s	going to challenge him for that title
20697s	right so I'm looking forward to seeing
20699s	the second half of the Season can anyone
20700s	bring it to the Atlanta rain or are they
20702s	just gonna Coast to a championship
20704s	yeah you know I have to credit Atlanta
20706s	rain I think this the somber Tracer meta
20709s	is just terrifying to play against them
20711s	um I think players like chew one field
20712s	could potentially be even more
20714s	threatening when you put them on Lucio
20716s	comms I think that's where Chio shines
20718s	even brighter than on the Break
20720s	um so honestly it's a scary team to look
20721s	at I think if you are other teams trying
20724s	to take shots at Atlanta rain trying to
20725s	find that cracking armor you're hoping I
20727s	think four metas that that bring out
20729s	Hawk and vigilante because I think we
20731s	know like not that they're weak players
20733s	but that this roster of five with dong
20735s	hack in I mean they're Unstoppable in
20737s	these dive comps so I think for other
20739s	teams for Houston Outlaws and and you
20741s	know the other like teams sort of trying
20743s	to make it on this top level who even
20745s	think they can compete they're they're
20746s	they've got to find a way I think to get
20748s	Atlanta out of this comfort zone so
20749s	hopefully new patches come I think the
20751s	other teams are hoping for that to to
20753s	have a chance because I think if this is
20754s	another song for Tracer meta again like
20756s	you said Johnny like for the Outlaws you
20758s	know I don't think you can be too
20759s	disappointed like we made these mistakes
20761s	we should have we should have won it's
20763s	like all right Atlanta is just the best
20764s	team in the world at the steam comp
20766s	they're just so insane so clean at every
20768s	single level yeah thus far with the
20771s	performances that have been showing us
20772s	Atlanta and definitely put a Target on
20774s	their back for the rest of the season
20776s	can they remain that dominant Juggernaut
20779s	or will another team take advantage of a
20782s	potential meta shake up later on in the
20784s	season well we will find out soon for
20787s	now we are taking a break for the
20789s	OverWatch league for a few weeks of
20791s	course if you are missing competitive
20793s	action don't worry about it we still got
20794s	calling all heroes we still got
20796s	OverWatch World Cup plenty of OverWatch
20798s	action to come so make sure to follow
20800s	all of that and more and we will be back
20802s	with the OverWatch League second half of
20805s	this season on July 13th thank you so
20807s	much for watching and have a good night
20809s	see you then thank you everybody
