943s hello hello everyone and welcome to
946s calling all heroes major 3 Radiant
949s Heroes major 3 I'm Ash your host for the
952s weekend and it's I'm feeling a little
954s bit like the new kid in town but of
956s course we've got your staple casters who
958s have been here here all season long with
960s you guys that being epitomes and CB CB
964s how are you doing today did you say
965s staple casters or stable casters because
967s I wouldn't describe myself as stable
969s typically I'm doing great I'm excited
972s you know last week uh we had all the
974s Swiss rounds and it really shook up for
976s like a really interesting playoff
978s bracket going forward I'm looking
979s forward to seeing how this all plays out
981s I can't wait love to hear it and
984s epitomes how are you feeling about this
986s weekend I know you were here last
987s weekend casting with door and whatnot we
990s had some really interesting games going
991s on within that swis stage yeah
994s definitely very exciting and how The
995s Meta is shaping up as well for a long
998s while Sigma was very very strong but now
1000s we're kind of leaning into some more
1002s edgy picks and some teams you know
1004s they're playing a lot of things that you
1007s might not expect especially on the tank
1009s pick so I'm really excited to see how
1011s they are going to take things out this
1012s weekend especially since we know that
1015s there are some teams that are looking to
1017s counter one another and there might have
1019s been some upsets over in the Swiss
1020s stages as well yeah well before we get
1023s too deep into the nitty-gritty about
1025s what's actually been happening and
1027s whatnot we got to remind you guys that
1028s it's been a year-long competitive
1030s circuit here within the regular season
1032s and this is the last regular season
1034s event that will be taking place as well
1037s here within the third major of the year
1039s the last chance to lock in those circuit
1042s points that have been adding up for the
1044s entirety of 2023 for those Championship
1047s points but don't forget there's also a
1048s lot chance qualifier for any teams who
1050s might not be able to make it within
1052s those points here that will be head
1054s later on in the New Year within January
1057s in
1058s 2024 so now heading back over towards
1061s these circuit point standings CB
1065s Timeless ethereal they've been at the
1066s top of the board for quite a while now
1068s yeah something interesting though I do
1070s kind of want to call out here is that
1071s number two pick right there Tim
1073s Celestial they didn't make it to
1075s playoffs they were just a little bit shy
1076s so this opens the door for someone like
1078s you know nyxl Embers to kind of solidify
1081s and for someone like VT blue to kind of
1083s sneak in it kind of feels like there's
1085s going to be an ongoing race between VT
1087s blue and Fable to see who's able to
1088s claim that spot and you know maybe
1091s another another Contender can Rise From
1093s Below and come in and claim that last
1094s number six
1096s spot it's a pretty scary time it's now
1100s or never everything has come down to
1103s this tala and we've also got to look
1105s forward towards the format so of course
1108s those to miss out on last weekend's a
1111s qualifying portion to the playoffs it
1113s was that Swiss play for days one and two
1116s six rounds of Swiss overall for heading
1119s into playoffs here where we have eight
1121s teams into a double elimination bracket
1124s lots of prizing that they're also going
1126s to be playing out for as well overall
1129s you've got those placement prizes of
1131s course overall the pot is 10K first
1134s place of course buying for that sweet
1135s sweet
1137s $5,000 and and then the points that
1139s range from 9900 points up at the top
1142s dogs and then all the way down to 12th
1144s and 16th still being able to earn 100
1147s points for yourselves but it's kind of
1149s difficult to it to kind of break through
1151s those ranks again the top portion of
1154s calling all heroes right now is looking
1156s pretty
1157s solid yeah Timeless Celestial which is
1160s currently at the top they seem basically
1163s Untouchable with 10 over 10,000 circuit
1166s points with all of their players tallied
1168s up but at the same time you have time
1171s Timeless Celestial which was right
1174s behind them and they didn't make it so
1176s and 900 points for each player if you
1178s think about it to your top five players
1180s 900 Points each that is quite a bit of
1183s points and you can those tally up very
1185s quickly I'm not the greatest at math I'm
1187s going to admit that but I believe it is
1189s over 4,000 points so that can really
1191s shoot you up if you are one of those
1193s lower ranks like 7,000 plus 4,000 that
1196s can go up to 10,000 who knows fable you
1198s got a chance here exactly so much on the
1202s line there and we've actually have some
1205s extra prizing coming in for major 3 as
1208s well big shout out over towards be quiet
1211s for being able to provide some
1213s additional prizing for these teams this
1215s opportunity to get some premium German
1218s hardware for themselves six PC cases six
1222s power supply units as well if you guys
1224s want a little bit of a sneak preview I
1226s think when we come back to cam CB has
1227s some setup in her background there as
1230s well but overall a lot on the line and a
1234s lot that's helpful in a way like I don't
1236s know some of these players might need a
1237s little bit of that upgrade to their
1239s setups right but overall we also now
1242s have to move on over towards that map
1244s pool because for major 3 we do have
1247s flasho coming into the play here and
1251s tala I want to hear a little bit about
1253s how these maps have kind of been panning
1256s out I mean these control Maps they open
1259s the door for a lot of different team
1261s compositions last week we did see a lot
1263s of the Doom dive and I think that's a
1265s comp that has kind of been taking over
1267s in some teams over the sigma because
1270s Doom plays very well into Sigma but
1272s there's also a lot of technicalities
1274s that come into playing that team
1275s composition but I do like this map Pool
1278s I think it allows for a lot of these
1279s teams to really narrow their focus and
1281s on their scrims on their VOD reviews and
1283s see what they can improve here no yeah
1286s that is going to be something really to
1289s look out forward look forward to there
1291s and CB before we move on from the maps I
1293s want to get your overall thoughts on
1295s what's in play here for this event as
1297s well well for me it's not even like
1299s what's in Play It's kind of what's not
1300s in play you know we got some of the
1302s usual suspects in like kings Ro Midtown
1304s over in hybrid but push no asira that's
1307s usually a favorite for a lot of teams
1308s control you're not going to see a whole
1310s lot of Le GI Tower Nepal some of these
1312s like staple maps that a lot of people
1313s scrim it's a pretty narrow map Pool and
1316s I think it's going to you know like was
1318s saying kind of you know be a little bit
1320s more conducive to either that Sigma
1322s composition or that doomfist dive comp
1324s that we've seen a lot of yeah on top of
1326s that if we do get towards the later Maps
1329s as well an escort we are doing a first
1332s to two on these very first upper SE um
1335s upper quarterfinals so we aren't going
1337s to really be able to see escort unless
1338s we see a draw which um I don't think is
1341s going to happen in this first um in this
1344s first first to two but once we get to
1346s the escort Maps as well we have shali
1347s monastery and Route 66 which once again
1351s uh opens up the door for a lot of
1352s different team comps and I think Sigma
1354s can also be very strong on those Maps as
1356s well yeah that Broly composition has
1358s been uh at the Forefront of the metap
1360s for sure within calling all heroes but
1363s uh we've talked a lot about the
1364s challengers portion thus far of calling
1366s all heroes we also have to give a nod
1368s over towards our Rising event that is
1371s happening concurrently as well the
1373s format for the rising series was that
1376s round robin two group stages over in
1379s last week and then this weekend we've
1381s got the playoffs with six teams in that
1383s double elimination bracket where they're
1384s playing it out for $1,000 in Rising and
1389s I think what's really cool about Rising
1391s as well is we've doubled the amount of
1394s teams that signed up since the previous
1396s event last time I think it was about
1398s four now we got nine for this event that
1400s ended up coming through there CV yeah
1402s and one of the really cool things about
1404s it is you know at the at the end of the
1406s day today we're going to have one of
1407s those Rising series games on your screen
1409s and then we got another one coming at
1411s you tomorrow that's going to be Dustin
1412s and Moxy that are going to be bringing
1413s that to you a little bit later on today
1415s so definitely support the uh the calling
1417s all heroes Rising scene it's also a
1419s great thing to get involved with if you
1420s feel like maybe you know you're seeing
1422s some of the The Challengers players and
1424s you're like okay these these people
1426s they're all they're all insane like I C
1428s I can't play at that level well there's
1429s still a place for you to learn and grow
1431s and even get your name you know on the
1433s screen with the with the rest of the big
1436s boys out here yeah no it's really sick
1438s to have like this opportunity for these
1440s Diamond one blow players so they can
1442s have that grind and eventually get to
1444s the point where they're playing within
1445s the Challenger Series but not only are
1448s the teams playing for a lot of prizing
1451s today we've also got some initiatives
1454s here within chat for you guys as well
1457s some incentives if you will we've got
1459s the OverWatch 2 Contender skin drops in
1462s chat so you guys keep that in mind when
1464s you're watching on Twitch and looking
1466s out for these skins and then we've also
1468s got one of our lovely sponsors with in
1470s Chipotle who have been offering up 2,000
1473s burritos today and tomorrow I believe it
1476s was 10K burritos over the entirety of
1479s the event CV has an awesome looking bow
1483s what did you end up ordering actually so
1485s so I mean just by the way shout out to
1488s Avery you know they told me to try the
1489s Barbacoa I did try that yesterday it's
1491s slapped but I went back to Old Reliable
1493s I just do you know a chicken burrito
1495s bowl double protein cuz you know when
1497s you when you get hungry later on and
1498s you're craving a snack it's cuz you
1500s didn't have enough protein so double up
1501s on the meat there I also want you guys
1503s to know that I ordered this like right
1505s when the stream went live and we had
1506s like the 15minute timer so this has been
1508s sitting in front of me and I haven't had
1510s breakfast so my mouth has been watering
1512s all day if you hear like the sounds of
1514s like someone slurping sour cream during
1516s a team fight that's me I apologize but I
1519s mean it's it's just that damn
1521s good hey you can't knock it right I mean
1524s we're also going to have to look towards
1526s the MVP of the entire tournament gets
1528s the opportunity to also win Chipotle for
1530s the entirety of the year but we also
1532s can't forget one last opportunity for
1534s everyone who is watching at home and
1536s supporting this stream Noble chairs are
1539s kind enough to give this opportunity to
1541s give away four chairs over the entirety
1543s of this weekend so you guys have to stay
1544s tuned for a bit more information on that
1546s later to find out how you're going to be
1548s able to enter that giveaway in
1550s particular but uh we actually don't have
1552s to wait too much longer I believe we are
1555s just about ready to hop into the oper
1558s recordss so now taking a look over at
1561s this
1562s bracket what can you tell me tala about
1565s the matches that we're seeing coming up
1567s I know the one that's coming up on
1568s stream being between drainers and
1570s Vancouver Titans blue is uh one of the
1572s tightest matches to anticipate here
1575s within the
1576s quarterfinals yeah well drainers they
1578s play a lot of interesting compositions I
1580s think they're very flexible in what they
1582s want to play we saw a with Vancouver
1584s Titans blue versus Vancouver Titans blue
1586s today but they playing yeah exactly
1590s they're playing a little bit of that um
1593s they're playing a little bit of the Doom
1595s dive we saw a little bit of Sigma out
1597s from them as well but I think they are
1598s very flexible uh CB you talk a lot about
1601s drainers being able to play the Rind
1603s heart as well which is a really
1605s interesting composition and I think how
1607s that plays into the sigma can also have
1609s a lot of connotations for how this map
1611s goes but Vancouver Titans blue on the
1613s other side it seems like they are very
1615s strong on the sigma I I I thought that
1618s drainers were going to come out last
1619s weekend on that Reinhardt composition
1621s because I saw them playing it in scrims
1623s I was like I mean if anyone's going to
1624s make it work it's going to be kindred
1625s she's the one who can pull this off so I
1627s thought that's what they'd come out here
1628s with but then they mirror the doomfist
1630s comp against Michael wave actually do
1632s pretty okay with it and so you know now
1635s I'm coming into this weekend and I'm
1636s like I don't even know what I don't even
1638s know if Kindred knows what she's gonna
1640s play I they how can they possibly
1642s predict us if we don't know what we're
1643s going to do I'm even hearing rumors on
1645s the streets that this team is running
1646s something a little bit more raat rushy
1648s these days so it could realistically go
1651s in like aund different directions with
1653s this team but they have a ton of talent
1655s sent us a phenomenal hit scan player har
1657s has been a wonderful surprise and the
1659s backline as solid as ever to enable that
1661s aggression that Kindred loves man and
1664s you'll love to hear a little bit about
1665s that Ram rush but we've also got to flip
1667s it over to who they're going to be
1668s facing up against Vancouver Titans blue
1671s here this squad has a lot to bring to
1674s the table they've been on the up and up
1676s here at tala improving very steadily
1678s over the entirety of
1680s 2023 yeah unfortunately we didn't see a
1682s lot of Vancouver Titans blue last week
1685s they were up against Timeless ethereal
1686s and they are an incredibly tough team
1688s Vancouver Titans they had these moments
1691s of Brilliance though Vancouver Titans
1693s blue they saw moments where they were
1695s able to go head-to-head with Timeless
1697s ethereal which is the top team in the
1698s bracket thus far and they were able to
1701s bring a lot of aggression they have
1703s really good ideas of what they're meant
1704s to do but sometimes they fall short on
1706s the execution however all of these
1708s players are incredibly talented and I
1711s think that they can potentially flip
1713s this on Diner's head despite being lower
1716s in the circuit point standings thus far
1718s well it's going to be intense that's for
1720s sure I believe this is the closest
1721s seated matchup that we have within the
1724s quarterfinals so I'm looking forward to
1726s getting straight into it I'm going to
1727s send you guys both off into the game
1729s while I get to kick back and watch all
1731s the
1733s action thank you very much Ash so we are
1736s kicking it off on antartic pen and this
1739s is one of those Maps where I think suble
1741s might lend itself to a doomfist dive but
1743s the other two are going to be very very
1745s Rush fa Rush favored but what flavor of
1748s Rush are we going to go with is it going
1749s to be Reinhardt is it going to be Sigma
1752s is it going to be ratra I suspect from
1754s the side of Vancouver Titans blue it's
1756s going to be a little bit more Sigma but
1759s again like what are drainers I I don't
1761s want to make it sound like like
1763s derogatory but what are drainers
1766s thinking yeah what is drainers thinking
1768s that is the question of the evening or
1771s of the morning I guess depending on
1773s where you are from but drainers they
1776s could play the Reinhardt I would really
1778s love to see the Reinhardt because the
1780s thing about it is maybe there are some
1782s weaknesses to the rart not being able to
1784s close as much space or take up as much
1787s space but at the same time who has
1789s scrimmed against the reinart how are you
1790s supposed to know what to do against it I
1793s mean well VT blue would definitely know
1796s what to do cuz they have phone who is a
1798s very well-known Bastion one trick and I
1800s you
1801s know personally angry about that I make
1804s sure to give phone a hard time every
1805s time you know we're in the VC together
1807s but you know having that loaded handgun
1809s that is the Bastion that anybody can
1810s reach for at any given moment does kind
1812s of deter people from wanting to jump
1814s over to that Reinhardt but if anyone's
1817s going to do it it's going to be drainers
1819s I don't like you know we were kind was
1821s flashing the wrecking ball there I don't
1823s think that's what we're going to see but
1825s yeah I think that's a troll we're TR
1828s that's a little bit of a troll but like
1829s you know she's making us wait until the
1831s last possible second before she reveals
1833s her her true hand here her true
1836s intentions yeah I think that's both of
1837s these teams actually every single time I
1840s think we've seen them basically hover
1842s random picks until the very last second
1844s and of course if there's a symmetra you
1846s never know if the symmetra is actually
1848s going to be going into the game or if
1850s it's just for that early TP I've seen
1852s some Surprises with the symmetra
1854s actually especially on the especially on
1856s the point with the big big Lifeboat
1858s where it's just a little closed corner
1860s and you kind of have so much control
1863s with the Sentry turrets as well yeah uh
1865s o over on Icebreaker it's a great thing
1869s using the turret to kind of like lock
1870s down any of the three various choke
1872s points that you have that you kind of
1874s have to go through in order to access
1876s the point it's a great use of the
1878s symmetra and symmetra's beam damage does
1880s pair very very well with any of these
1882s Rush compositions also pairs very well
1885s against a sigma composition you know he
1887s can't stop the beam damage with his
1888s biotic grasp there uh so it it just kind
1891s of becomes one of those things where
1892s it's like you know if your drainer is
1894s running the symmetra is beneficial to
1896s pretty much anything you want to do but
1899s Senna is also a phenomenal like ranged
1901s hit scan player she's she excels on like
1904s the Widowmaker the soier and the ash
1906s some of these you know mid to long range
1908s hit scan Heroes and if you can get her
1909s on that you know that's also going to
1912s greatly benefit you so you know the
1914s drainers have a lot of options here I
1915s would like to see the symmetra stick I
1917s would would also like to see you know
1918s maybe we go with that may
1921s sojourn yeah I've also seen par take out
1924s the Genji as well as the Tracer so
1926s something that can follow up really well
1928s on the Dives it seems like they are
1930s teasing AAR but I really doubt that they
1934s are going to take out the far because
1935s she can be a little bit weak without the
1937s mercy in the pocket yeah no yeah this is
1940s uh what drainers are showing right now
1941s is is is nothing just pretend you don't
1943s see it we'll wait until they actually
1945s walk out the door I am blind until they
1947s walk out door yeah let's have a look
1948s over on the left hand side of your
1949s screen where Vancouver Titans blue are
1951s playing almost exactly what I expect
1953s them to what should probably swap over
1955s onto the S towards the end of it but
1956s again you know it's Close Quarters here
1958s on all of the points on an artic
1960s Peninsula so the symmetric could stick
1962s but yeah no we're going to see dueling
1963s so on either side and it is actually
1965s going to be the ram Rush that comes out
1967s for drainers they want to go in super
1969s super quick here and take this High
1971s ground and VT blue already forced to
1973s vacate yeah cat going to have to take
1975s off The High Ground they are being w
1977s from The Retreat thus far but they're
1979s just able to stay alive peeking around
1980s the corner Center however with that
1982s opening kick onto what allows a lot of
1985s aggression from Kindred saved by the
1986s immortality field momentarily and going
1988s to go ahead and into the nemes form to
1990s try and get a little bit of extra damage
1992s but they should get
1993s first yeah they do get the first cap
1995s there but losing Zep turn means that
1997s they're not going to be able to hold it
1998s for very long they have to try and back
1999s up and give more space and BT blue can
2001s realistically just go for the flip here
2003s Sena can kind of save it if she's able
2005s to hit another early head shot but yeah
2007s she has no space to do so VT blue are
2008s going to flip it back in their favor
2010s draer now there on the outside looking
2012s in kind of good to have control of that
2015s high ground right outside the point
2017s they're getting quite a bit of damage
2018s onto the cat but going to go ahead and
2020s back off now they're just kind of
2021s coralled into this choke point looking
2023s for away in something interesting about
2025s drainers comp by the way usually when I
2026s see this Ram Rush being played it's with
2028s a MOA but they're still sticking with
2029s the Baptist and you'd love to have an
2031s immortality field right now to save
2032s Kindred she's got the Nemesis for him to
2034s stay alive and the aggression is being
2036s kept up here but see blue are still
2038s ticking up the point
2039s progress yeah part looking to try and
2041s solo take the point cat's trying to go
2043s on the way in there's the immortality
2045s field cool down already used immortality
2046s field out and try and get mitigate all
2049s of that damage z turn and getting a lot
2050s of healing in the blizzard coming
2052s through it seems like par can't stay
2054s alive from phones blizzard and it just
2056s going be able to save the point on BT
2058s Blue's side Kindred however now with the
2060s annihilation finding two without saona
2063s and CLA BT blue have no way back into
2066s this point and they flip it over yeah
2068s but I mean like that's 51% that
2070s realistically drainer should already
2071s have that VT blue just kind of snuck out
2073s from under them and you know they're
2074s going to come in with that gravitic flux
2076s you're going to be looking at Lane sound
2077s barrier to try and cancel that out but
2079s then what happens when what finally Pops
2080s that overclock is there going to be an
2082s angle for that overclock to find the
2083s value that we really need to I'm not
2086s really sure there's a lot of really
2087s tight Corners here and drainers are
2089s they're in no mood to give any quarter
2091s no angles that flux is forced out early
2093s there's the beat BT blue it's in your
2095s court now oo sna taken down what and
2098s that's what the overlock nearly built up
2100s so now they really have to rely on
2102s phone's damage here but it's just a
2104s disengage from this squad try and go
2106s back to the point and make sure that
2107s they can hold on to something here no
2111s there is no way for them to get around
2113s if V blue have about two more fights
2115s here they're going to have that
2116s overclock now it's a shame what wasn't
2117s able to get it in time for that previous
2119s fight but it's on the board now as is
2120s saffron a sound barrier so they're going
2123s to have to use it here to try and
2124s counteract this blizzard or maybe they
2125s just go for the kite and by the
2128s immortality yeah the immortality field
2130s both of the support ultimates coming out
2133s Zurn with the amplification Matrix to
2135s force the position and and it's going to
2137s be the sound Barry to save from the
2139s blizzard and now they still have two
2141s ultimates in BT bl's pocket they have
2143s that amplification Matrix and they have
2145s the overlock which is a lot of damage
2147s that can come out right at once there's
2149s the amplification Matrix the right click
2151s doesn't quite connect but Kindred still
2153s does go down to cat and now what able to
2155s connect another head shot onto z turn
2158s it's just going to be the May left on
2159s the point and potentially Lane trying to
2161s keep him alive the Lucio dances around
2163s for a second but BT blue flip the point
2165s over in this next fight I want to see
2167s what go ahead and Pop That overclock
2168s early to try and pressure out you know
2170s the Nemesis form from Kindred if they
2172s can or maybe pressure out the
2173s immortality field early if they can to
2175s try and follow up with phones blizzard
2177s here or vice versa you don't want to
2179s give Senna any angle because if she Pops
2181s that overclock with an angle heads are
2183s going to roll and I mean drainers might
2185s end up taking this first point here
2187s there's realistically only one more
2188s fight left for either side Senna on the
2191s flank is going to be the first one to
2192s draw blood is she able to find ahe
2195s though a this looking to be difficult
2198s it's actually BT blue with their own
2200s overclock that is finding so much damage
2202s here the rest of drainers just get
2204s shredded without Senna on their side and
2206s it's Lane and Senna that are the only
2208s two Left Alive up to 90% now for
2212s Vancouver Titans blue and it is last
2214s fight territory for the both of them LAN
2217s getting taken down can't build up the
2219s sound barrier and now the only ultimate
2221s realistically that they might have to
2223s save is the annihilation but that they
2225s just can't touch that was a critical
2227s error by Lane there that touch came in
2229s way too early you need to try and like
2231s you know get in that towards those last
2233s couple seconds where you can trigger
2234s overtime cuz VT blue made some mistakes
2236s as well they didn't really need to
2238s invest their gravitic flux but they did
2240s and they had no ults so if drainers had
2242s come in played for the sound Bearer and
2244s the annihilation they could have flipped
2246s it and ended up taking that whole point
2247s but I mean Lane just kind of you know
2250s inadvertently donates that point over to
2252s VT blue so early lead going in favor of
2256s uh of Vancouver Titans
2257s blue yeah I mean Lane was what they were
2260s really relying on with the speed boost
2262s to be able to get the last second touch
2264s and also being the closest to building
2265s up the sound barrier Kindred might have
2267s been able to chain that into the
2268s annihilation but now onto the second
2270s Point drainer making quite a few
2272s mistakes here and Vancouver Titans blue
2275s now having the upper hand in now I know
2277s Vancouver Titans blue have been
2279s scrimming and practicing a lot even
2280s against this specific composition that
2282s drainers are running so they do know how
2283s to beat it and you can't give them the
2285s opportunity to do so they're going to
2287s have to try and clean some things up
2288s they can't be making mistakes like that
2290s keep the point in contest keep the
2291s fundamentals of control you know in the
2293s back of their minds or at the Forefront
2294s of their minds right now they're doing a
2296s great job controlling BT blue
2297s controlling this High Ground they should
2299s be able to translate this into a first
2301s point cap especially if Senna is able to
2303s get an angle just like this one forces
2305s the ice block early yeah the ice blocks
2308s now out they're going to use that wall
2310s to try and escape from all the damage
2311s that's using the immortality field on
2313s Zan side though and Lane goes down
2315s having to rely on Zurn for some kind of
2317s sustain but cat takes down par anyway
2320s now it's all up to Senna to try and get
2323s the damage through but there is just so
2325s much upfront damage and what is doing
2327s such an excellent job on this sojourn to
2329s force the positioning and get all that
2331s damage out that was just a couple pixels
2333s away from phone losing a losing a skull
2335s there and I mean that would have been
2336s the point in the favor of drainers but
2338s having that ice block ready to go and
2340s then somehow being able to find Lane cat
2342s with a nice 2K to open that one up takes
2344s it for VT blue and again drainers they
2346s have to try and find a way in and they
2348s have to clean up some of these mistakes
2349s they're not in a good position to punish
2350s the ones that BT blue are making but you
2352s know on the contrary VT blue are
2354s punishing every little misstep that
2356s drainers make yeah drainers they were
2358s just all stuck in this little corner
2360s that's the immortality field cool down
2361s once again but they have Kindred on the
2364s other side of the wall they need to get
2365s their way through to make sure that
2366s they're tank stays up but phone with an
2368s icicle taking down Zurn and now relying
2370s on Lane not too close to that sound
2373s barrier so it's not going to be a great
2375s fight for drainers thus far already up
2377s to 40% with two fights down the drain I
2380s mean yeah I mean drainers they're going
2381s to have a lot of ultimates they're
2382s making a couple switches here off of the
2384s sojer and over onto the reaper off the
2386s Baptist and over onto the Moira this is
2388s the ram Rush comp that I've seen a lot
2390s more of I've seen it played in Korean
2392s flash Ops especially on maps like leang
2394s tower maps where you go turbo Uber
2396s aggressive aggressive now drainers have
2398s that and they should be able to pressure
2399s down cat with all of this damage and you
2401s can see they I was going to say they
2403s want do just that but it's no they're
2405s actually going to wrap around take the
2406s high ground and pressure off the
2408s backline yeah now forcing the back line
2411s to back very far away from cat and they
2414s still have this isolated fight now
2415s against the DPS and the tank going to go
2418s ahead and take out the Nemesis for him
2419s but what might be able to clutch this
2421s back with the help of the overclock
2422s hitting every single head shot possible
2425s this Reaper is not going to be long for
2427s life as Senna Goes Down And even with
2430s such good positioning right
2440s out not entirely sure okay just making
2442s sure it's not just me all right we're
2444s good is there going to be a touch here
2445s looks like Lane is going in for the
2448s touch no sorry that's par coming in and
2449s Kindred back on the doomfist but this is
2451s desperation mode for trainers oh my gosh
2454s yeah what is just doing so much damage
2456s to this back line there seems to be
2458s nothing that they can do they have no
2460s way of contesting what up on The High
2462s Ground and now they're going to go ahead
2463s with the gravitic flux the doomfist
2465s coming out from Kindra to take down and
2468s okay there is just no connection there
2470s from the ultimate on the sigma which is
2472s good for drainers to keep this overtime
2474s in contention cat trying to pressure out
2476s Senna but par going down to what once
2479s again now without the harass of the
2481s Tracer onto the back line and the
2482s blizzard coming through from phone going
2484s to pressure out Kindred and they just
2486s get melted there needs to be some way
2488s for them to keep on top fit Lane however
2491s can't escape from the freezing cold of
2494s ma ice gun and Vancouver Titans blue in
2497s a 20 fashion take that first map that
2501s looked decisive shout out Cat by the way
2504s for that accretion onto the coalescing
2505s Moira that's not an easy shot to hit a
2507s lot of Moira will you know hold on to
2509s their fade for specifically that cool
2511s down you know I I'm not actually I don't
2513s want to call it cuz I don't know if Zep
2515s turn did it or not but there is is like
2517s this new thing recently that a lot of
2519s Moyer players forget cuz you know she's
2521s never really meta that you can fade
2523s while in coalesence now so you can kind
2525s of Dodge those sort of things if that
2527s cooldown wasn't available and cat called
2529s that out and just went for that
2530s accretion that's a huge play that shuts
2532s down any Lifeline that drainers had but
2534s to put themselves in that position where
2535s they're relying on that Lifeline is
2538s already kind of an underperformance from
2539s drainers I expected them to come out a
2541s lot more aggressive a lot more Angry a
2544s lot more hungry you know I I expected
2546s them to come out uh gets get a little
2548s bit more value out of this CTI pick on
2550s the soj cuz she is phenomenal on the soj
2553s but it looked like what to be or what
2554s was the stronger soj in that matchup and
2557s I mean it's a little disappointing it's
2559s a great start for BT blue who like
2562s mentioned earlier are in kind of a
2564s pseudo race with Fable to see who can
2566s get the most points to try and secure
2568s that Championship spot but if you're
2570s drainers you know you want to make sure
2571s that you're not at risk of falling out
2573s of favor as
2574s well yeah I mean drainers they are not
2577s incredibly far ahead of the rest you
2580s know it's not a Timeless uh Timeless
2582s ethereal kind of position where you have
2585s that those 10K points to fall back on
2587s joiners especially after losing to
2590s Michael wave in the Swiss stages as well
2592s and kind of getting a worse seating
2594s overall it's definitely going to be a
2596s really tough one and you can see the
2597s head-to-head between phone and Par lots
2600s of damage done on phone side and Par
2603s kind of Falls a little bit short over on
2606s drainers so you can kind of see the
2609s differences in the amount of
2611s eliminations and damage being done only
2614s in the DPS line the the biggest the
2616s biggest takeaway here though is like one
2618s death versus seven I mean this just kind
2620s of shows like that that's the whole map
2622s across both points we only played two so
2625s it is what it is but it's like if you
2627s equate every death to a one or lost team
2630s fight that kind of equates to Vancouver
2632s Titans blue realistically only
2634s decisively losing one team fight whereas
2636s trainers they can't they can't seem to
2638s just buy themselves away into the point
2639s for free they're constantly losing their
2641s May or they're constantly losing their
2642s Lucio I there's a lot of like just
2645s General sloppiness on the side of
2647s drainers that they need to clean up and
2648s you know what it's it's a new weekend
2650s it's the first round we you know maybe
2652s maybe we're a little bit cold we're a
2654s little rusty we got to shake the nerves
2655s off we got to get back in the groove we
2657s got to play like the drainers that I
2658s know and love the drainers that I like
2660s to see the ones that you know are
2662s setting the tempo forcing the enemy team
2664s to adapt to react right now the practice
2667s that Vancouver Titans blue has put in
2668s has paid paid off in Spades and drainers
2672s look kind of out of
2674s practice Yeah I mean this was a really
2677s big contrast to the drainers that we saw
2680s last week as well even though they ended
2682s up losing in their match on stream
2685s against Michael wave even on that first
2687s map they looked so strong they looked so
2689s coordinated very aware of the
2691s positioning and the pitfalls of the comp
2694s that they were running and where those
2695s weaknesses were were and because they
2697s were able to identify them it was a lot
2699s easier for them to beat a Michael wave
2702s in the doomfist mirror but now on the
2704s remacha rush it seems like they are
2706s getting singled out a lot they're not
2708s able to contest what who looked like the
2710s stronger hit scan player in this matchup
2713s especially being able to get so much
2715s value from those overclocks time and
2718s time again now over on Kings Row I think
2720s this plays right into Vancouver Titans
2722s Blues hands since they do love that
2725s Sigma composition on the sigma seems to
2727s be so strong very aware of the weak
2730s points of Diner's composition I speaking
2732s of Diner's composition like I don't
2734s think that this map is like
2736s disadvantageous for them but I think
2737s they do need to play that more
2738s aggressive variant that we didn't see
2740s until like the very tail ends of
2742s antartic peninsula I think you know if
2744s you're going to play this you do want to
2745s have the reaper you need to have that
2747s constant threat of the burst damage on
2748s either your tank or your backline you do
2750s need to kind of play the Moira you can
2752s you know you're not riing entirely on
2754s the lamp cool down you know Reliant
2756s entire on whether or not you have
2757s immortality field you can kind of keep
2759s some of that consistent healing build up
2761s to those fast coal Essences and then
2762s continue to put out the aggressive the
2764s aggressive pressure that way the Baptist
2767s is great for keeping the tank alive yeah
2769s but the the ultimate ability and just
2772s the rest of the way that bapti plays in
2774s the neutral I don't think is nearly as
2775s conducive to the way that drainers
2777s should be playing this comp what value
2778s is the ratra getting that the sigma
2780s wouldn't be if you know drainer just
2783s mirror yeah I feel like the mirror is a
2786s ability here but they're going to try
2787s out the ratra once again just for a
2789s little bit longer to see if they can
2791s break through this first choke point
2793s getting a lot of damage just being
2795s mitigated by the wall already forcing
2797s out the immortality field cool down and
2799s an icing cold to the Dome is going to
2801s take down Zurn without Baptist where is
2804s the uh Kindred going to go the down and
2808s it's just a decisively one team fight
2810s the immortality field was used really
2811s really early there and like I said once
2813s that cool down is down it's so hard to
2815s keep that aggression up you don't have
2816s the ability to just keep your keep your
2818s tank alive the entire time drainers are
2820s actually going to make wh sale swaps
2822s over to the doomfist dive composition
2824s that we saw them play against Michael
2825s wave we know they know how to play this
2827s but I do have it on good authority that
2828s VT blue have also been practicing
2830s against this comp as well so they should
2832s in theory know how to beat it keep an
2834s eye on phone and Zep turn I mean that
2837s advice goes double for you right now yep
2840s phone just going straight after par over
2843s on The High Ground trying to get that
2844s Flank In zap turn is such such a sore
2847s point for drainers thus far constantly
2849s getting picked off by the DPSS of BT
2851s blue constantly getting focused and it's
2853s really hard to keep this burst healing
2856s into the team when you need it so badly
2858s for that for Kindred especially on the
2860s doomfist so what's going to happen here
2862s on the side of V blue typically is
2863s you're going to see phone trying to hunt
2865s down and mark the against you can even
2866s see that right now going in deep to try
2868s and get par they do saphrona should also
2870s be there to assist if phone needs it but
2873s it looks like y there we go there's the
2874s there's the duo they're going to try and
2875s pressure down Kindred and while Kindred
2877s is trapped in this corner she can't get
2879s anything realistically done and the rest
2881s of the team can't get through the choke
2882s so BT blue they just kind of hold for
2885s free yeah Kindra trying to really hard
2888s to follow up and protect R trying to get
2890s the two to pressure out the rest of
2893s Vancouver Titans blue but Kindred really
2895s needs some solid sight lines from zap
2898s turn to just keep themselves up without
2900s anyone else in the
2902s corner we'll have to see if she's able
2904s to get any value here that's a huge nade
2907s that comes out from z turn though that's
2908s going to force the sound barrier on it
2910s own yeah and now the sound barrier and
2912s the amplification Matrix alongside that
2915s trtic flux now the blizzard every single
2917s ultimate just being used by BT blue they
2921s only had that over clock left but they
2923s ultimate should be able to get them a
2925s decisive Fight Win and it does this next
2927s fight win though should be drers to win
2929s they do have the meteor strike so kendri
2930s can keep that aggression up if she needs
2932s to more importantly though they have the
2934s nanoade and that is the one thing that
2936s can beat BT Blue's comp especially
2938s without having that sound barrier on the
2940s field you know the fact that that was
2941s forced out in the previous fight that
2943s means this should be a free Fight Win
2944s For drainers look for either a big anate
2947s to open it up or just go in raw with
2948s that Dragon Blade never mind's dead well
2952s yeah par is gone and now they're just
2955s going to have to find some way to kind
2957s of sustain through this fight they have
2959s less than a minute left over to cap this
2961s first point and Vancouver Titans blue
2963s they are holding strong they still have
2965s that overclock we've seen what get
2967s insane value out of that overclock
2969s Kindred is going to go ahead and go in
2971s with the meteor strike now with the
2973s nanoblade to come through par looking to
2975s take down the DPS and does so a huge
2978s downo blade now only cat left over to
2981s contest but not for long and that's just
2983s the ultimate stack to take that first
2986s point that's I mean beautiful use of the
2987s nanoade that's a 5k for par that's
2989s exactly what you wanted to see it was a
2991s little bit scary there cuz it looked
2992s like Kindred got her meteor strike
2994s forced out early and it looks like draer
2995s actually don't even want to stay on this
2996s comp yeah they're going back over onto
2998s the ratra so you know okay at least it's
3001s you know that that Moira variant of the
3002s ratra comp so they can keep the
3004s aggression up a little more again
3005s they're not reliant on whether or not
3007s they have the immortality field
3008s available but you know VT blue the
3010s windows are starting to close they're
3011s about to start building up to the
3012s gravitic flux they're about to start
3013s building up to the blizzards some of
3015s these cool Downs where maybe now you
3016s would like to have an immortality
3018s field yeah the great thing about the
3020s Moira though is she builds up that
3022s ultimate incredibly quickly the
3024s coalescence could come through and could
3026s potentially sustain them through some of
3028s these bigger ultimates Theona goes down
3030s which is a huge pick from Senna to start
3032s things off and allows Kindra to push a
3034s little bit further now they have that
3036s gravitic flux come through looking to
3038s take down Kindred forces out the Nemesis
3039s form there's some of the healing to come
3041s through but it is not enough to stop the
3044s right click from the rail gun and what
3046s will take down the tank drainer is going
3048s to have to save off the pressure and
3049s back away it's a great wall that comes
3051s through from phone there by the way to
3052s section off and force the rest you know
3054s section off Kindred and force force that
3056s healing to just cease no no more no more
3058s access to your Moira that's going to be
3060s a decisive kill there onto Kindred and a
3062s dead tank is a dead push VT blue they
3065s can definitely Force out that Nemesis
3066s form for Kindred early and maybe get
3068s that Dead tank early especially with
3070s this uh with this oncoming
3072s blizzard yeah phone looking at the
3074s position already taken down zepter so
3077s doesn't even need the blizzard here just
3079s opening things up onto Kindred and
3081s leaves the rest of the team straggling
3083s trying to find some way back in and
3086s going to pressure them back into their
3087s spawn once again and they do have the
3088s coalescence this time and they're coming
3090s up on the sound barrier so I mean if
3092s phone Waits too long to pull the trigger
3093s on this blizard you will at least have
3095s that counter I think you want to open
3096s with the coalesence here early try and
3098s you know use that to just pressure VT
3100s blue back maybe make some space to hit
3102s with the overclock but you have to find
3104s some kills with
3106s it the overclock being built up very
3109s quickly by W as well but on drainer side
3112s they don't have a blizzard the blizzard
3114s comes out from foam the coalescent
3116s though Zep is going to be able to
3117s sustain the team throughout that
3120s ultimate now it's up to what to try and
3122s find some picks with the DBS ultimate
3123s but it's going to be the sound barrier
3125s from saona as soon as Senna decides to
3128s use that overclock to sustain them and
3130s they have to back off they have to save
3132s off some of this pressure hiding behind
3133s sigma's shield and it allows the point
3136s to push a little bit further but no
3138s further than that now it's the reengage
3140s to come through with the Blizzard from
3142s par and What needs to find some ways to
3144s use overclock cat go down needs to use
3147s something but it's just the immortality
3150s field that's already forced through what
3152s now finding Senna at the annihilation
3154s comes through can't back away just stuck
3156s on the wall stuck on a little bit of
3158s that texture and they're able to cap to
3160s the second Point yeah there was a very
3162s ambitious overclock from what there I
3163s think you know I I think BT blue thought
3165s they still had enough resources to where
3167s they could pressure out the uh the
3168s annihilation from Kindred try and make
3170s it so she can't go too aggressive with
3172s it but I mean d still at full strength
3174s all they have to do is stack point and
3175s push it the rest of the way through a
3177s minute and 17 to try and get it to the
3179s end of Point C here and only an amp
3180s Matrix to try and slow the pace down
3182s versus a coalesence on the side of Zep
3184s turn if you're drainers you want to keep
3186s this aggression going look for an
3187s opening to use another coalescence keep
3189s Kindred alive please oh there is the amp
3193s Matrix from overhead but saona goes down
3195s immediately pendred however is there for
3198s the trade and it's seems like BT blue
3201s with what's aggression and the rail gun
3203s is able to force out some of the cool
3206s downs from drainers including that
3208s coalesence what has looked really really
3210s good on the soier in these past couple
3211s of maps I'm loving what I'm seeing
3213s coming out of Vancouver Titans blue
3215s again aside from that one overclock that
3217s was a little bit ambitious it's been
3219s pretty much nothing but the good head
3220s shot nothing but beating out Senna in
3222s that duel and that's really really
3224s important because one of the easiest
3225s ways to shut down the aggression from
3228s any of these Rush comps is to just snipe
3230s somebody before they can get
3233s close yeah it it seems like what just
3237s has such a good hold on this Senna one
3240s to one cat just trying to be pressured
3242s out by the wall from May but is still
3244s going to go ahead contest that point
3246s make sure they can't push it any further
3248s overtime is incoming and the gravitic
3250s flux comes through right before however
3252s it does miss the immortality field from
3254s Zurn comes out quickly but what with a
3257s such a huge disruptor shot alongside
3260s phone's blizzard to close things out 38
3264s M on 3 the combo T that was amazing that
3269s was so much more than just the disruptor
3271s shot too that was the gravitic flux into
3273s the ice box that was that blizzard
3275s coming out from phone and then the
3276s disruptor shot to just clean it up and
3277s you know I mean it's going to look
3279s really flashy what gets a 3K but
3281s realistically like everybody on the side
3282s of trainers they had like a sliver of HP
3285s have a look at the oims column by the
3287s way phone is paying dividends for this
3289s team right now phenomenal may play
3292s coming out from Vancouver Titans blue
3293s and a lot of the ways that they
3295s composition wants to play is contingent
3297s on phone performing well like I've
3299s mentioned you know if drers want to play
3300s the doomfist you got to pressure out the
3302s enemy Genji if they're going to play
3304s against an enemy rush you got to make
3305s sure that your walls are on point and
3307s you know while all of that's happening
3309s it's just helping to set up the shots
3310s for what whether it's the disruptor shot
3312s or whether it's a rail shot that Senna
3314s never saw coming it's enough to get VT
3316s blue the cap or get the get them the
3318s hold there hopefully it's enough to get
3321s them the cap if they want to you know
3322s keep their uh keep their hopes of
3323s getting as much circuit points as
3325s possible possible
3326s alive yeah also wanting to shout out how
3329s many deaths particularly the backline
3332s has from drainers but whoo there's that
3333s Reinhard to come through zepter has been
3336s pressured out quite a few times with
3337s four deaths to Claire's one so this
3340s bapti really has been taking on the
3342s brunt of so much of this damage that's
3345s coming through from Vancouver Titans
3346s blue because they know without Zurn and
3348s if there's no sound barrier online there
3350s is basically no way to keep your tank
3352s alive it's going to be a first shot from
3355s what going to Instead try and switch
3358s onto the soj instead without that first
3360s shot curious to see if this is going to
3363s work out in favor of drainers cuz like I
3364s said this is what I've seen them scrim I
3366s know they are very good at this comp but
3367s they're doing so without a symmetra so
3369s it might be a little bit harder to save
3371s their Reinhardt if Kindred ends up
3373s getting in trouble if a a big wall comes
3375s into play or if what just finds another
3377s opening pick oh okay what is just on
3380s fire just uncontested on The High Ground
3383s as well usually it would be par maybe
3385s turning around and trying to get this
3387s pressure onto The High Ground on Close
3389s Quarters but there is just nothing to be
3391s found here in a matter of seconds
3393s Vancouver Titans blue have won a team
3395s fight for strainers back into their
3398s spawn and should be able to get at the
3399s very least two ticks before the reengage
3401s come through from drainers and it does
3403s so the accretion however and now the
3406s walls come through there's still the
3407s contention there and using reinart to
3409s force themselves through the disruptor
3411s shot however CLA and that rail gun from
3415s what shredding through the shield
3416s without the tank to be the meat shield
3418s for the squad zpp you can weave in and
3420s out of those shots but there is no way
3423s you are going to stop this payload I I I
3425s really think that Senna needs to make a
3426s swap here if trainers are going to make
3427s this composition stick you know you need
3429s to have the Frontline pressure there's
3430s that Sim swap that's exactly what I want
3432s to see because you can see like Kindred
3434s she's forced to just hold up her Shield
3436s the whole time while taking a pounding
3437s from all five members of VT blue and
3440s it's only so long before that Shield
3441s cracks and two does the entire drainer
3444s defense now that you have that symmetry
3446s you can keep the front line pressure up
3448s you can burn down cat Shield try and
3450s burn through that grasp maybe even put
3452s out a bunch of pressure for some
3453s rotations out from either phone or what
3456s this is where it's going to get a lot
3457s more quick moving and a lot more
3459s coordinated for
3461s drainers yeah now drainers they are
3464s forcing themselves forward onto the
3466s payload they know that they have that
3468s amp Matrix behind them so the
3470s positioning has been just a little bit
3472s more defensive on the other side though
3474s the G flux comes out immediately they
3477s have the ant Matrix as well taking down
3478s the Sentry turrets on the way in and
3481s they're trying to get as much damage as
3483s possible immortality field they know the
3484s cool down is gone and with phone with
3487s the having the blizzard as well oh
3490s they're able to block the shatter from
3492s the Reinhardt almost nobody goes down
3494s and Theona finding Kindred Zenna is able
3496s to get a pick on to what but it's not
3499s going to be enough drainers they're
3500s falling apart as we speak sen however
3503s another pick on the phone it is just a
3506s consolation prize though it seems like
3508s they should be able to get this full
3510s capture if drers want to win the point
3512s this is where they should be holding
3514s they needed to win that fight but they
3515s don't it's going to get so so dicey
3517s their backs are going to be up against
3519s the wall and sure they have the ults for
3521s maybe one or two fights but you got 5
3523s minutes to not even get halfway through
3526s this looks like Vancouver Titans Blue's
3528s map to lose here drainers I I if you're
3530s Kindred you definitely wish you still
3532s had that
3533s shatter yeah kindred having that shatter
3536s blocked it's just so devastating and
3538s immediately the overclock now forcing
3540s out the immortality field from zeptor
3542s the sound barrier from Lane has to come
3544s through and Senna is looking for some
3547s more damage saona goes down to Kindred
3550s now without the sound barrier from
3552s Vancouver Titans blue it's a disengage
3554s trainers they're holding on to this
3555s point holding on for dear life yeah for
3558s yeah holding on for de is a great way to
3560s put it they're going to have to ult
3562s cycle perfectly I mean you got to open
3563s with the ant Matrix try and force GT
3565s Blue Back Then go with the photon
3566s barrier hopefully use that to build up
3569s to a shatter cuz you don't really have
3570s much else you don't have the photon
3571s barrier anymore cuz phone just took it
3573s away from you phone immediately taking
3576s down Senna what a good opening pick
3578s however the immortality field forc out
3580s from CLA going to allow drainers a
3582s little bit more aggression as the
3583s gravitic flux comes through to save off
3585s that pressure and now it's just cat and
3587s Kindred in one another's faces now the
3589s photon barrier from Senna weaving in and
3592s out Shield dancing to try and get onto
3594s that payload make sure it doesn't get
3595s any further than that bone getting a lot
3598s of damage down and the the amp Matrix is
3600s going to force that fight Kindred goes
3602s down they were trapped with the back
3604s against the wall quite literally and now
3606s drainers how are you supposed to contest
3608s this Senna gets up onto The High Ground
3610s trying to drop down onto the point but
3612s immediately goes down and now the
3613s Blizzard from phone you cannot contest
3616s through this the ice block does come
3618s through maybe there is some of
3620s contention from car building up to the
3622s Blizzard throws it out but there is
3624s nothing to do done Vancouver Titans blue
3627s they are looking like this is just
3630s running over drainers second map into
3635s their pockets Vancouver Titans blue 20
3638s fashion beating out trainers that is
3641s this is not what I expected at all like
3643s I we talked about how Vancouver Titans
3645s blue have been improving as a team I
3647s mentioned how much practice I have
3648s personally witnessed them putting in
3651s against the compositions that drainers
3652s like to play the prep work paid off but
3655s but I still expected a lot more from
3656s drainers they looked lost they looked
3658s like you know they didn't know what they
3660s wanted to play or how they wanted to
3662s play it and when they finally get to
3663s play something that is in their
3665s wheelhouse it's too late because the
3667s wheels have already fallen off it comes
3668s down to that last little fight there
3670s where the ant Matrix comes out Kindred
3672s wants to losos it but the perfectly
3674s placed wall from phone just shuts it
3676s down she can't back up she can't get
3678s away she can only sit there and tank all
3681s of the damage that comes her way and
3683s that health bar is only so beefy phone
3687s did wonders for this team what
3689s constantly hitting a bunch of these
3690s opening picks and being the Difference
3692s Maker but for me it's it's phone it's
3694s just phone yeah this DPS line from
3697s Vancouver's Titans blue I mean phone was
3699s just an excellent supported DPS as well
3701s when it comes up to the kill feed it's
3703s usually what that's named you see there
3705s but there is so much good support coming
3707s in from phone being able to slow things
3709s down and cat as well using the gtic flex
3711s to force the positionings into good
3713s places where it's so easy For What and
3715s phone to find those picks so Vancouver
3717s Titans blue with a 20 victory over
3720s drainers who are currently by the way
3722s third place in our circuit point
3725s standing so drainers this is a tough
3727s position for them to be and Vancouver
3728s Titans blue it could not be better I
3731s mean it could not be better and it's
3733s better than it seemingly has been for
3734s them for a very very long time you know
3736s they've placed either fifth or sixth in
3738s every major major or minor tournament up
3740s till this point so I mean this is a
3742s great performance from VT blue we talk
3744s about their their you know their
3746s Improvement this is where we're actually
3748s getting to see it we've actually got
3749s data to back it up now this very well
3751s might be their best performance and it's
3753s not done yet they still got a ways to go
3756s as for drainers though down to the lower
3759s bracket they go as for us though chat to
3762s a quick break we go we're gonna come
3764s back and break it all down for you on
3765s the other side of this don't go anywhere
3767s chat we'll see you in just a
3773s bit

3923s right
3926s [Music]
3949s [Music]
3956s what's up everyone what a clean series
3959s coming out from Vancouver Titans blue
3961s that was absolutely insane some of the
3963s combinations that we saw going off paid
3966s off dividends there but we also got to
3969s throw it over to our Chipotle match MVP
3973s of the day and check out to see who
3975s that's going to be a little bit of a
3977s drum roll as we wait it's going to be
3979s phone and I believe we do have the
3982s opportunity to have an interview with
3983s them as well but CB before we hop into
3986s that I want you to talk a little bit
3987s about the impact that we saw from this
3990s player here within that last match up we
3992s saw some great ice walls going up uh to
3995s be able to just divy up the team Zone
3998s things out and isolate those fights I
4000s mean like in every sort of composition
4002s that VT blue are going to be playing
4004s against you know whether it's the ram
4006s Rush whether it is the doomfist dive
4009s it's going to be phone that's going to
4010s be the most important piece for this
4012s team because you're using the the made
4014s to either section off the Genji try and
4016s pressure pressure them out so there's no
4018s Genji to follow through with any of the
4019s doomfist slam damage or you're trying to
4021s set up those big ice walls so that your
4022s team can go aggressive on a on a
4024s sectioned off Target and when you when
4026s all else fails sometimes just throwing
4028s down a blizzard at the right moment
4030s catching the right people out is all you
4032s need to do and phone has gotten
4033s phenomenal at that has very much so
4035s stepped up to the level where you know
4037s you can trust phone to take care of
4039s business no matter what the job is yeah
4042s you absolutely love to hear and t i
4044s going have to get your thoughts on this
4046s player as well we saw incredible things
4049s C hyped them up a lot as well but I want
4053s to hear your set of things well I mean
4056s at the beginning of Antarctic Peninsula
4058s we were talking a little bit about
4060s trainers running the Reinhardt rush and
4062s how phone was a little bit of a Bastion
4065s one trick and was going to be able to
4067s take out the Bastion anytime that rinard
4069s came out but phone actually I lots of
4071s respect not sticking to their guns
4074s sticking to the may even into the
4076s Reinhardt composition and playing it
4077s incredibly well to the point where
4079s Kindred it felt like they were just
4081s being pressured out every single time
4083s even on the Reinhart if you look at the
4085s stats from Kings Row kred had died 12
4088s times by the end of it and I think a lot
4090s of that had to do with the fact that her
4092s back was against the wall for a lot of
4094s it quite literally against that may
4096s wall quite literally but luckily it is a
4099s double elimination bracket right so for
4101s the side of drainers they're not out
4103s quite yet they have that opportunity to
4104s fight it out in lowers but we're going
4106s to phone in a friend and get a chance to
4109s actually talk to phone in just a second
4112s phone if you can hear me right now how
4114s are you doing um congratulations on this
4118s win thank you so much hello I am phone
4120s from BT blue uh I'm feeling gra to this
4123s win we our goal for this tournament like
4127s we're the fifth six curse Team every
4129s tournament we got like fifth six so
4130s we're just trying to get that top four
4132s that's our goal that's my goal at least
4135s well I mean this this matchup in and of
4138s itself means a lot to be able to break
4141s that curse for you guys as well right so
4143s did you what was the team sentiment I
4145s guess heading into this match up against
4147s trainers did you feel like there was a
4149s little bit of extra pressure on your
4151s shoulders knowing that you guys were
4153s reaching for the Stars yeah so we played
4156s drainers in Swiss I believe or a warmup
4159s or something so we knew they really want
4161s to play the the the ram comp they don't
4163s like playing Sig that much so it's just
4165s not uh Fable for them so we basically
4168s practiced all week like we even had some
4170s scrims like we had a day where we played
4172s against two really good Ram teams just
4174s playing Ram against us we went like 02
4176s in maps but we learned a lot from it and
4179s uh we just hard practice against it and
4181s I think that we were able to execute
4182s when it came to game time and then it
4185s shows because they swapped off the The
4187s Ram to their comfort
4189s picks that's really awesome I think
4191s that's a big thing too is like you learn
4193s the most from your losses whether it's
4195s in scrims whether it's in officials as
4197s well that's the biggest opportunity to
4200s take away um information from those
4202s matches to be able to improve in that
4204s kind of sense and I just wanted to know
4207s as well like how do you feel about your
4209s growth as a team throughout this entire
4212s calling all Heroes season thus far
4214s because we have seen improvements since
4217s day one you guys have mid making that
4218s grind up and finally we're starting to
4221s see that paying off in actual kind
4224s numbers in results in that kind of
4226s sense yeah so um I feel like over the
4230s circuit we've definitely improved
4231s overall as a team we've got some new
4233s pickups they've been great additions to
4234s our team feeling in when they need to um
4238s like make like Nostalgia like our recent
4239s pickup of cat uh yeah they've been all
4242s doing great and I feel like as a team
4244s we've just been hard on the grindstone
4246s as Jay Venom would say and uh just tried
4250s to improve at any aspect we can I feel
4253s like it's showing off in our game
4256s you absolutely love to hear it and I
4259s also am curious kind of like who do you
4261s think is maybe the Dark Horse in this
4264s tournament right now you you can also
4266s say you guys you can say yourselves as a
4269s team if you want to like hype your
4270s homies up hype your team up in that kind
4272s of sense but curious on your thoughts on
4274s that as a
4275s player uh I think in this tournament oh
4278s that's actually interesting I got to
4279s think I think going in I think going in
4282s my Dark Horse was definitely to be fa
4284s um like I've I think that team is I
4287s think that team has potential to be
4288s really good especially with like snaza
4290s getting picked up um but if I had to say
4293s I think it's I think with us beinga
4295s drainers and beating in my mind going to
4298s theer what what was a top four team I
4300s think that we've become that dark that
4302s Dark
4303s Horse okay you'll love to hear it I I'm
4305s hoping to see you guys make that run
4308s this weekend um but I also want to give
4311s epitomes and CB a chance to ask their
4314s questions as well so tala why don't you
4316s head off first and then CB you can
4318s follow up afterwards well my question is
4320s really who are you really excited to
4322s face in this tournament because you guys
4325s have made it further are making it

4361s match up I want to see you guys take on
4362s Michael wave because I know all the
4363s practice that's been going in but it's

4670s welcome back everybody to calling all
4672s heroes major 3 we just saw an intense
4675s two and0 series there going over to the
4678s side of Vancouver Titans blue versus
4680s drainers but now we've got to head over
4682s towards those upper
4684s semifinals before we get on to that
4687s though I do want to give another shout
4689s out over towards Noble chairs and again
4693s you guys can win one of four gaming
4695s chairs from Noble chairs down in chat
4698s and don't forget to try and use that
4700s radiant discount code there for 10% %
4703s off if anyone is in the looks for
4706s something new to sit on while you game
4709s and grind over on OverWatch but now back
4712s to the game play so we're going to head
4714s over to that bracket to see how we got
4716s here so far how these other matches in
4718s the corner fals handed out off stream
4722s and CB how are you feeling about these
4723s results I mean two o's across the board
4726s I mean you might not have realistically
4728s expected that for the match that we had
4729s you know drers versus VC blue I think we
4731s probably thought that one would have
4732s been a little bit more close or maybe
4733s even gone in favor of drainers but hey
4736s in that one situation the lower seed two
4738s 's the top seed that's uh that's a
4740s little spicy right there but the rest of
4741s it seems kind of uh you know kind of
4744s expected I do want to give a shout out
4746s by the way to Fable you know VT blue
4748s phone we had uh we had them on the
4749s interview they mentioned Fable as a
4751s potential Dark Horse and I also have
4753s them pegged as one of the teams to watch
4754s but you know it's GNA have to be that
4756s lower bracket run that we've seen from
4757s Fable time and time again you know
4760s they're going to have to try and make
4761s that work once again if they want to try
4763s and get some of those points and again I
4765s I mentioned the race between them and VT
4767s blue this puts VT blue in such a great
4769s position right
4770s now yeah it really does and tala was
4774s this what you were expecting as far as
4776s these results go I know that again it
4778s was the last match up that we saw on
4780s stream was one we were anticipating to
4782s maybe go that distance it was only a
4784s best of three series of course so not as
4787s intense is the best of fives that we're
4788s heading
4789s into yeah well I mean I think basically
4791s what you would expect in most of of
4793s these brackets is the upper seed taking
4796s that 2 maybe not a 2 but even a 2-1 and
4799s winning it out so the Vancouver Titans
4801s blue they actually kind of upset
4804s drainers in this matchup and going ahead
4806s to face Michael wave which drainers had
4809s previously lost to anyway so the
4811s drainers Michael wave rematch in the
4813s potential in the semi-finals was there
4816s and drainers now dropping down to the
4817s lower bracket instead to face EP K so I
4821s think this is definitely not not what I
4823s expected but it is very welcomed now
4826s we're headed into the Timeless ethereal
4827s versus nyxl Embers matchup and I think
4830s this is going to be a big yeah it's
4832s going to be really exciting to see these
4834s upper semi-finals coming through here
4836s and we also have a chance to introduce
4838s these teams as well so heading over to
4841s the first roster that we're going to be
4843s seeing here for the upper semi-finals
4845s between nyxl Embers and Timeless is the
4850s Embers Squad CB I know that they don't
4854s need any further introduction some may
4856s remember that part of this squad was
4859s previously the group of missing it at
4863s the top of my head right now Valiant
4865s Guardians yes there we go there's so
4867s many names to think of but that team it
4870s was a scary one when they were a full
4873s Squad and now with the support of an
4875s organization yeah I mean and you know
4877s they were the runner UPS in the previous
4878s minor tournament now going to this major
4880s tournament they've picked up anun and I
4882s think that's a huge pickup alone she's a
4884s phenomenal Flex support player one of
4886s the best marginalized gender Flex
4887s support players in the entire world
4890s that's a coup for them to be able to
4891s pick up on you and there so taking an
4893s already strong roster and adding that to
4896s it means that this is definitely one of
4898s the other teams to watch you know them
4899s Fable those were two that I kind of had
4902s my eye on to make some noise now it's
4904s time to start you know banging those
4906s drums making that noise now you you know
4908s you got past the first round where you
4909s were expected to win now you're going up
4911s against somebody a little bit more
4915s scary yeah it's going to be pretty
4917s terrifying the beasts in Timeless
4919s ethereal everybody knows this squad this
4923s doesn't look so scary okay no it's just
4926s I know pretty friendly actually are you
4928s sure about that because a full Lucio
4930s Squad boops off the map Galore I don't
4934s know skirting around you all the
4937s time the question is does the speed
4940s boost stack if you have go
4943s Squad the question that we never thought
4946s we would have to ask un until fa with
4948s the Timeless ethereal roster sheet but
4951s Timeless ethereal they are a terrifying
4953s Team all of them are incredibly powerful
4956s in their own fright and then coming
4958s together they've had a huge win streak
4960s but CB last week we actually saw it
4962s being broken by Michael wave so Timeless
4965s ethereal might not be in as good of as a
4967s position as they thought they were
4969s coming into it since they were so
4970s dominant for so many maps in a row well
4973s we didn't actually see the record gets
4975s get because it wasn't it wasn't on the
4977s stream unfortunately I would have loved
4979s to see that I'm a little disappointed I
4981s mean the match we got to see instead was
4982s still a banger and I'm still glad we got
4984s to see that one but it would have been
4985s really big to get to see that 29 map win
4989s streak that Timeless atheria were
4991s boasting coming into this Tournament
4992s being snapped in half by Michael wave 20
4995s by the way they kind of you know Michael
4997s wave kind of just ran away with that one
4999s and it didn't I I didn't get to see the
5001s codes because unfortunately we went to a
5002s new patch I really really wanted to try
5004s and contact the players get the replay
5006s codes for that one it just wasn't in the
5008s cards but I mean you know if you're
5010s Timeless atherial and you lose a win
5012s streak like that you're probably pretty
5014s pissed about it right like you want to
5015s come back yeah well when we're looking
5018s at what's going on now at the very least
5020s we got to get this series straight on
5022s into it here on control we're going to
5024s be heading over towards Samoa first
5026s without further Ado CB all take it
5029s away last time we saw Samoa from
5032s timeless ethereal we actually saw it
5034s against Vancouver Titans blue the team
5036s that was just on stream and it was a
5039s little silly they they were emoting in
5042s Vancouver Titans blue spawn they were
5044s definitely you could definitely tell
5046s that they had practiced it a lot even
5048s the roll outs right down to how quickly
5050s they were getting to the point it seemed
5052s like they were getting there somehow
5053s quicker than Vancouver Titans blue words
5055s so this is definitely a good map for
5057s Timeless ethereal I think I I think you
5060s could definitely say it's a good map for
5061s Timeless ethereal I also o do want to
5063s highlight that this is a good map for a
5065s lot of that ratra Rush that I've uh that
5067s I've alluded to we saw little glimpses
5069s of it being played not to great effect
5071s by drainers but you know this is also
5073s one of the maps where I've seen a lot of
5075s it coming out in both scrims and in the
5077s Korean flash Ops scene so it's
5079s definitely something that these teams
5081s can fall back on but you know barring
5083s that doomfist is also a great pick here
5086s Sigma will never not be a good pick in
5089s the current sandbox which by the way
5090s we're playing on opr previous patch so
5093s no malga no tank changes no trying to
5095s figure out what the meta is we still
5097s have that same idea you know we still
5099s have that previous preseason 8 patch but
5101s there's still so many options so many
5103s different ways that it could go and I'm
5105s also glad to see what moving fish is
5107s hovering over right now because I've
5109s even seen a little bit of monkey
5110s business here and
5112s there yeah and the monkey usually does
5114s come out as a sort of counter to the
5117s doomfist being able to protect the
5119s supports with the bubble but this going
5121s to be interesting if they stick on to it
5123s right off the bat going against the
5125s sigma it might be a little bit tough
5127s right at the beginning here we're
5129s kicking things off on down town here on
5131s Samoa I'm expecting to see ESS etheral
5134s on the sigma comp try and take that
5135s upper route there where is moving fish
5138s going to go for the dive actually no
5139s scratch that it looks like uh ESS theal
5142s going to split up just a little bit play
5143s a little bit more for the low ground and
5145s even try and get some of that Higher
5146s Ground on the southern side of the
5149s map with a very strong soj player very
5153s strong hit scan player and keeping on
5155s the low ground kind of contesting the
5156s point the dive kind of goes through from
5158s moving fish but not fully committed just
5160s yet they're just splitting this point
5162s right in
5163s half moving fish is in moving fish is
5165s out they're not able to stick around for
5167s all that long ESS with going to get
5169s first cap here but a big nade comes out
5171s from anun moving fish should be able to
5173s jump in on that maybe try and get Halo
5175s but oh they're
5176s working yep Halo is able to stay alive
5179s jumping back down onto the point to
5181s contest just a little bit h is looking
5183s for something on the par it's just this
5186s okay never mind X10 drops down and
5188s sniper immediately takes them down now
5190s HQ trying to find a way in nope just
5194s going to be accretion now a huge nade
5197s from nyxl Embers any though
5200s unfortunately doesn't find anything that
5202s that feels like a lot of Wast of time
5203s from nyxl Embers and they're still kind
5205s of wasting it you know waiting for xtend
5207s to try and get back in position here but
5208s it feels like moving fish is just
5209s dipping their toe in the water and
5210s jumping right back out but now the n on
5213s board can try and go for a full dive
5215s here yeah just going to go ahead try and
5218s zone out whis oh that's a lot of damage
5220s coming down right at once though tank
5222s now missing for nyxl Embers Timeless
5225s serial still holding on to that point
5227s and unable to pressure out whisp
5230s and Timeless ethereal they're already
5232s halfway home here grai Lu's going to
5234s come out the Sleep Dart was good to try
5236s and go for it but it whiffs just a
5237s little bit and I mean nyxl Embers the
5240s longer they fight this without getting
5241s any sort of comptitive Advantage
5243s especially if buns get to hit a 2K like
5245s that a beautiful pulse bomb like Embers
5248s have to get out they can't stay in here
5250s any longer Timeless ethereal have won
5251s this fight 70% we're already almost in
5254s one fight territory here it's spawn time
5258s for Timeless ethereal they're going to
5260s push them a little bit further back into
5261s a further choke point and now it seems
5263s like two fights in a row that need to be
5265s one HQ trying to build up to the blade
5268s as quick as possible and otherwise they
5271s have three ultimates now on the board
5272s for NYL Embers they could potentially
5274s stack for the point capture and an kind
5277s of getting pressured by this n uh by
5280s this disruptor shot but otherwise now
5283s with the Primal Rage to come through
5284s from moving fish looking to pressure out
5286s the back line Halo going down from xt0
5288s that's a nice shot to try and get things
5290s started and now the rally from for you
5292s to force through the choke point moving
5294s fish however is going to dive onto that
5297s back line while followed up by H key now
5300s Z going down they have nowhere left to
5303s go they are able to capture that point
5305s 99% though they need to play this
5307s perfectly I they've at least got their
5309s feet underneath them which is good
5310s they're going to have the Bob and the
5312s blade as well if they wait a little bit
5313s anun will have that Nano you can go for
5315s the nanoade there and that should be a
5317s one fight or a forced sound barrier from
5319s Timeless ethereal I mean hell with the
5321s damage that nanoblade does it might even
5323s be both nyxl Embers the ball is in their
5325s Court they cannot fumble
5328s it now using that Nano onto moving fish
5332s instead setad up onto the blade kind of
5334s trying to hold on to the DPS ultimate
5336s from HT and it's at least pressuring out
5339s with the help of the immortality field
5340s cool down now being used bun very close
5343s to the pulse bomb trying to fish for it
5345s onto H ke here over on The High Ground
5347s or look for a big one onto that backline
5349s but the Bob comes through from X10 to
5351s contest on the point HQ is still holding
5354s on to that blade though they didn't
5355s combo that with a nano they did manage
5357s to buy themselves a bit of time with the
5358s Nano on moving fish but with a pulse
5360s bomb onto moving fish time may have just
5362s run out yeah now they have to use that
5365s blade but the sound barrier comes
5367s through and it's really difficult for
5368s them to get any damage with that
5370s ultimate on board still has to try and
5372s contest they are 64% to the 99 but it
5375s flips over onto Timeless ethereal they
5377s need to activate the overtime and are
5379s able to with the help of HQ but hqy goes
5381s down now moving fish comes in a second
5383s too late with the bubble and it's just
5385s going to be pressured out now it's up to
5387s pour you but they are going to get
5389s shredded and the nyxl Embers they are
5392s losing the first map I I I think there's
5395s a couple of misplays that come out there
5397s I I don't really agree with using the
5399s Nano onto the Winston there I mean all
5401s it really does is buy them a bit of
5402s space forces some coold Downs out but
5405s then you don't follow that up with a
5406s dragon blade you don't follow that up
5408s with much of anything else you use the
5409s Bob a little bit later and it very much
5411s so feels like nyxl Embers are just
5413s trying to stagger out so that they get
5415s themselves into that one fight territory
5417s you know make the fight last as long as
5418s possible but you have to close it out
5420s and you sacrifice ability that you have
5423s that has the ability to close it out
5425s especially going up against Halo's sound
5427s barrier if you can't take that off the
5429s field and get some value for it it's
5432s it's a lost fight there's just no way
5433s that you can possibly overcome Timeless
5434s ethereal so nyxl Embers as we move on to
5437s volcano the Winston is not going to come
5439s out again I like that I like that we're
5441s going to something a little bit more
5442s brawl heavy X10 still on the ash though
5445s I'm curious as to whether or not this
5446s ash is going to be able to find any good
5448s angles yeah I'm wondering what the ash
5450s play is maybe for the B B here right at
5453s the end but are contesting wh is just
5456s going to be really difficult because of
5458s the consistent damage that sojan can put
5460s out and there is a display of the
5462s consistent damage HQ immediately falling
5464s despite using the ice block despite the
5466s cool Downs being forced out they're able
5468s to take out the immortality field on
5470s nyxl ember's side and Timeless ethereal
5473s they are running through this scam th
5475s this again like I was saying looks like
5476s an angry Timeless ethereal they are mad
5478s about that winning streak being snapped
5480s in half they want to start another one
5482s with is hitting all the shots never mind
5484s H is going to go ahead and hit one on
5486s the but it's still fine it's still fine
5488s ESS ethereal get the first cap soj
5490s should get back relatively quickly
5491s especially with the Halo taxi service
5494s coming in Johnny on the spot to get you
5495s right back where you need to be but
5497s meanwhile the fight has kicked off on
5498s the point well it seems like they're
5501s just going to give this one away they've
5502s gotten uh 14% not quite a bit but
5505s without the help of a secondary support
5507s never mind whsp come back with the help
5510s of the Halo taxi service and immediate
5512s Ely just going to dome pour you now
5514s missing a support on the side of nyxl
5516s Embers looking to try and sustain
5518s through all of it but sniper and Bun are
5521s just going to shred through moving
5522s fish's Health back to the spawn hold for
5525s Timeless ethereal all right whis keep
5527s your head down while I say this this is
5528s an angry Timeless ethereal that are very
5531s upset about losing their uh their
5532s winning streak there and they're trying
5533s to start another one here and with the
5535s old bank that they built right now going
5537s to kick things off the gravitic flux
5538s they are primed to do it HQ just cannot
5540s stay alive yeah H is just getting
5543s shredded Time and Time Again by all of
5545s these ultimates all the damage that
5547s comes through I mean while you're up in
5548s the air what are you going to do as Wisp
5551s and Bun are spamming those right clicks
5553s icicles up into the air and now both of
5555s the DPS ultimates are available Halo
5557s very close to the sound barrier but for
5559s you is keeping Pace with the sound
5561s barrier of their own they have built up
5563s quite an ALT Bank on nyxl Ember side and
5566s they should be able to flip the point
5568s with it it's only up to 60% so already
5570s this sub map is looking a little B bit
5572s closer and they look more organized and
5575s Matrix is going to come out early the
5576s blizzard comes out from
5578s hqy blizzard looking to get a little bit
5581s of damage down it's actually anun that
5583s goes down though with the amp Matrix
5585s going through early as well nyxl Embers
5588s using the gravitic flux and looking to
5590s pressure out Z amp Matrix almost coming
5592s through and un and using the sound
5595s barrier as well to keep them alive
5596s they're forcing themselves through the
5597s choke point and now pressuring them back
5600s Halo didn't get the chance to use sound
5602s to save Z either so now Timeless with
5604s theal they do lose that point while nyxl
5607s Ember whip it over I mean they do still
5609s have get the chance to hold on to that
5611s sound barrier though and I think that's
5612s very important because the only ult on
5613s the side of nyxl Embers is that
5615s overclock they had to use everything
5616s else drain the entire drain the coppers
5619s dry early ice block for out from HQ as
5621s well that's going to get punished they
5622s put the wall up and whsp going to go in
5624s with that early overclock nyxl Embers
5626s have to try and vacate that's a good
5628s angle from whisp now the immortality
5630s field to try and save the soour and does
5633s so immortality field from anun isn't
5635s going to be able to save moving fishes
5637s the damage keeps coming through a little
5638s bit of shields from the sigma however
5640s X10 coming in from the back angle after
5643s the overlock Runs Out is just
5644s immediately punished for it now looking
5647s to take these supports off the map it's
5649s good Boop and anion goes down now okay a
5653s second one yep let's go Halo finding two
5656s in a row with the boops off of the map I
5661s I mean we're not sponsored by ziplock
5662s but this does feel like it's all but
5664s sealed up in a nice tight plastic bag
5665s for Timeless ethereal they're going for
5666s the spawn hold the gravitic flux the an
5668s Matrix comes out is anyone even going to
5670s be able to touch on the side of nyxl
5672s Amber moving fish swaps over to the
5673s doomfist just to try and get a touch but
5675s it feels like a token gesture at this
5677s point yeah doomfist definitely is a
5680s little bit slippery able to dance around
5682s their defenses and get onto that point
5684s but moving fish where is the backup
5686s where's the healing Halo immediately
5688s takes down that doomfish shredding
5689s through the health and now they need to
5691s find some way through H key onto the
5692s Tracer activating that overtime should
5694s still be able to get another touch but
5696s no it's that mayw well to block off any
5699s other entrance point and guarding all
5701s Sites with the
5703s DPS Timeless ethereal they take that
5705s first am and I mean like we look at the
5707s previous Series right when we talk about
5709s how important phone was on the may may
5712s is just as important especially in this
5714s Sigma mirror and you're going up against
5716s one of the best ma in the business that
5718s being bun she is second to none when it
5720s comes to this hero and HQ has no slouch
5722s but you can even see you know a lot of
5724s times where ice blocks being forced
5725s earlier H he's out of position and a
5727s wall goes up behind and it's like
5729s suddenly you know you're losing the may
5731s head to head that means you're losing
5732s the ability to control space you're
5734s losing the ability to isolate your enemy
5736s you're losing the whole map it's just
5738s kind of slipping away I do kind of like
5740s this Winston look from nyxl Embers cuz I
5743s think that the Winston is kind of a
5744s sleeper pick right now and if more teams
5746s try to catch onto this wave I think it
5748s has a lot of potential but nyxl Embers
5750s are not making it look like it's living
5752s up to their potential it's a little
5753s discordant it's not going in
5755s collectively as a dive the way that we
5757s really wanted to it's not succeeding at
5759s sectioning off the enemy uh the enemy
5761s supports and trying to pressure down the
5763s enemy tanks in the way that you really
5765s really wanted to the reason that you
5767s that you play Winston in the current
5769s sandbox yeah I mean we were talking
5771s about anun as well when we were looking
5773s at the roster for nyxl Embers and you
5775s were saying that she's one of the best
5776s Le supports here and I feel like the
5778s Winston dive really follows up onto the
5781s biotic n but we weren't seeing a lot of
5782s those being landed or followed up on and
5785s you were also talking a little bit about
5786s the uh the Nano boost also going onto
5789s the Winston rather than onto the blade
5791s so it was buying time rather than
5793s playing really aggressive and I think
5794s nyxl Embers maybe they're just missing a
5796s little bit of that aggression that
5798s Timeless ethereal seems to have
5799s throughout and it is just so consistent
5802s with every single play that they make
5804s they're always aggressive they're always
5805s hungry and searching for more picks it's
5808s kind of this thing right like I'm glad
5809s you bring up aggression because that's
5811s kind of what it it needs to be right
5812s yeah sure when you're playing when
5813s you're holding the point and you have a
5815s dive you're waiting for the enemy team
5816s to step into your trap and spring it but
5818s you have to be the one to actually pull
5820s the lever and spring it at the right
5821s moments and it feels like that's just
5824s not what nyxl Embers did they just kind
5826s of like let times atherial walk up they
5828s go to try and spring the Trap but it's
5830s not one that is actually going to like
5832s seal shut it's not one that's going to
5834s end up giving them the victory it's just
5836s that Nano boost onto the Winston it it
5838s only realistically buys time but you
5840s have to do something with that time and
5842s they just they were not able to they
5844s they weren't able to and then again we
5845s go back over to volcano where it's a lot
5847s more confined it's a lot more may
5850s Centric you're trying to get as much
5851s value out of the may as you possibly can
5853s well you know again bun is just like the
5856s best in the biz when it comes to that
5857s hero right like no I don't think there's
5860s anybody in calling all heroes that can
5861s touch bun on the May except for you know
5864s maybe phone and maybe hkey but hkey is
5867s not showing it right now yeah I mean
5869s hkey it felt like there was a lot of
5871s pressure being put onto them right at
5873s the very beginning and it also just
5875s seemed like they were being shredded a
5876s lot with the ice block being forced out
5878s early just so much focus and usually you
5880s see that Focus going to the backline but
5883s those immortality fields that were
5885s coming out it didn't seem like the most
5886s important cooldown that was being used
5888s it was really just trying to force out
5890s the may make sure the blizzard can't
5892s section off especially on these very
5894s closed points and that those May walls
5897s just allowing them to block off all the
5899s entrances you even saw it at the very
5901s end where the tracer was beinging taken
5902s out but she didn't have a way into the
5905s point because there was just there was
5907s just the May on one side and the May
5909s wall on another side and the Wisp was on
5910s the other side and then what are you
5911s supposed to
5912s do well uh what are you supposed to do
5916s is definitely the question I'm asking as
5918s nyxl Embers have opted to take us to
5920s Midtown and I suppose when the when the
5922s map Pool is literally just Kings Row and
5924s Midtown you know Midtown is a little bit
5926s more dive Centric especially on that
5928s second Point streets phase there but it
5930s still is a very heavily Sigma favored
5932s map and in that Sigma head-to-head if
5935s your May isn't getting as much value as
5937s the other may it just doesn't feel like
5938s you're ever realistically going to have
5940s a way in so what is nyxl ember's plan
5943s are they going to fall back onto that
5945s dive and if they're going to do that are
5946s they going to be able to execute it
5947s properly cuz if not this very well could
5950s just be timeless ethereal running away
5952s with this
5953s one yeah I mean it's all about that
5956s execution I think the ideas are there
5958s but it's like what is the intention
5960s behind making the play why are you
5962s putting the Nano onto the Winston what
5964s are you trying to do with this and it
5966s just wasn't quite up to the bar in that
5969s last map of Samoa now onto Midtown it is
5972s technically nyxl ember's pick so
5974s hopefully they know exactly what they're
5976s trying to
5977s ex I'm curious to see where whether we
5980s start on attack or defense but I would
5982s like to see a defensive dive from nyxl
5984s Embers and in that situation it would
5986s very much be coming down to whether or
5988s not they're able to protect Anu and keep
5989s her set up to hit some of those big
5991s biion Ates and then go in with the
5993s followup but again even then it does
5994s come down to ult rotation a lot of the a
5996s lot of the times especially once those
5998s all those check marks start to build up
6000s at the top of the screen and you know
6001s something's coming the sigma composition
6003s has a lot of big heavy hitting ults as
6005s well you know the blizzard the gravitic
6006s flux you got to be able to take the
6008s initiative and force those ultimates out
6010s at suboptimal times not let uh Timeless
6013s ethereal just run away with it play
6014s their game if it's your map pick and
6016s you're going with Midtown that's the way
6018s that I want to see it or if you're going
6020s to go with that mirror it has to be a
6022s lot more clean it has to be a lot better
6024s you can't have your your maze cool Downs
6026s getting forced early here so I I think
6029s oh seeing what it is that nyxl Embers
6031s come up here with compositionally is
6033s going to dictate a lot of this and I
6035s also want to pay special attention to
6037s that second point that street phace if
6039s either of these teams do opt for a dive
6042s comp if they can make it there because
6045s sometimes we get that far yeah sometimes
6047s Midtown can be really difficult on that
6049s first point if you're not able able to
6051s get through the top because it's just
6053s such a narrow and small choke point that
6055s if you're having icicles spammed at you
6057s the entire time you have that soj just
6059s spamming with the rail gun it's really
6062s difficult to get through and you will
6063s find you have to disengage a lot
6067s ready sorry I was still chewing on some
6069s Chipotle there give me one sec oh no I I
6072s have been eating my Chipotle this entire
6074s time weird I was saying I didn't e
6077s breakfast it's been sitting in front of
6078s me here all day I only have like 3
6080s minutes at the time when we cut break to
6081s try and scarf this down I was hoping
6083s you'd carry that a little bit longer but
6084s it's good I've swallowed I've moved on
6086s we're good I can start talking about
6088s this nyxl Ember is going to be opening
6090s up on attack and it looks like they're
6091s flashing that dive composition versus a
6093s sigma May comp on the side of Timeless
6095s ethereal my question though is where are
6098s you going to be diving what is your
6099s target going to be is anion going to be
6102s able to hit any big nades from this
6103s angle and again X10 on the ash I like
6106s the ash pick I like how much of the ash
6108s we've been seeing lately but are you
6110s going to be able to find any angles as
6112s an attacking team with this hero pick
6115s yeah immediately this is such aggression
6117s fromal already right they're already
6119s building up the ultimate fun is up to
6121s 13% onto the blizzard and they know
6124s exactly what they're doing when they're
6125s going for these close holds very early
6127s HQ now forcing through the choke though
6130s looking to try and pressure out sniper
6132s just a little bit instead of going for
6133s that flank angle over top which I think
6135s we see a lot of Genji do but whisp
6137s opening things up on to X10 yeah and
6139s like I said X10 trying to find angle on
6141s the ash if you want to try and get your
6143s Ash into position she has to go through
6145s like that Alleyway on the side maybe go
6147s through the laat kind of area over on
6149s the you know the left hand side from an
6150s attacker and that's a very narrow choke
6152s where whsp can just put in all of this
6154s damage with the right clicks and then
6155s hit the big rail shots when it comes
6156s time and again I don't know if you're
6159s ever going to be able to get this ash
6160s set up especially not if she's dying in
6162s the spawn sniper almost claims that life
6165s x 10 able to hang on but I mean that's
6167s you know that's a token fight that's all
6169s for
6169s not yeah and and it's also just for the
6172s alt charge as well looking at the pacing
6174s of how quickly they're building up these
6176s ultimates I mean z it's at Matrix is
6178s kind of just a little bit of throwaway
6180s ultimate you can build that up really
6181s quickly anyway but still the fact that
6184s they already have it ready and it's only
6186s been a minute there's HQ dead early a
6189s nice May wall and then you sniper is
6191s there with the follow-up damage so you
6193s know the the push already dead before it
6195s even Begins for nyxl Embers cuz you
6197s could send moving fish in sure but then
6198s who's going to be there with them to try
6200s and follow up on the damage
6204s well they're trying to land these biotic
6206s nades but it doesn't seem like they are
6208s quite getting anywhere like the angles
6210s you said it is so difficult to land a
6213s nade when it's just the entire choke
6215s point is this little underpass and you
6217s can't really go up over top or anything
6219s you kind of just have to and sniper's
6220s doing a great job of blocking them by
6221s the way as well yeah exactly and now the
6225s blizzard already coming through from bun
6226s going to freeze moving fish shred
6229s it oh wow the Nano comes through from
6232s Anan and moving fish she yet spread
6234s through it so now the Bob comes through
6236s it's really important ultimate in this
6238s six V5 kind of fashion but exent just
6242s takes gets taken down or the Bob does by
6245s wisp with the help of the M Matrix so
6247s they are just doing such a good job in
6249s this defensive h i mean but there was a
6252s pickoff there onto sniper Midway through
6253s sniper should be back with the gravitic
6254s flux here soon but I mean this is where
6256s nyxl Embers because of that pick off
6258s feel like they have to invest and
6259s they're going to go ahead and pop the
6260s old to try and make it happen but the
6261s response is there the overclock does
6264s come through from Wiis and you taken
6266s down bun that is huge pick moving fish
6268s Now using the Primal Rage to buy a
6269s little bit of time here it seems like
6271s the recontest comes through but it was
6272s disjointed sniper came in just a second
6275s too late not enough Mobility on that
6277s Sigma to get to the point fast enough so
6279s that was an excellent pick a little bit
6280s disorganized and a lot of ALS were
6282s cycled through but n nyxl m should get
6285s the cap yeah it it's very very sloppy
6287s and if not for that mid-fight kill onto
6289s sniper it would not have happen happened
6291s at all it was very Scrappy Time was
6293s ethereal had all the tools that they
6294s could have used to try and retake that
6295s the you know the overclock in the an
6297s Matrix did end up paying dividends but
6299s you know nyxl Embers with the spawn
6300s Advantage were able to get back in there
6302s as quick as they could end up getting
6304s the cap here but they have to try and
6305s snowball it and take this High Ground an
6307s early pick up onto bun is a great start
6310s yeah that is a really good start they
6312s had the anti onto sniper weren't able to
6315s quite finish it off but they are
6316s building up these ultimates very
6317s steadily they have the Nano once again
6319s they also have that blade so I'm
6321s wondering if they do go for the
6322s nanoblade this time around but instead
6325s it's just nyxl Embers they are wreaking
6327s havoc on the other side on the backline
6329s now Z and whis staggered from the rest
6331s of the team I I I think you do go for
6333s the nanoade here because Halo does not
6335s have the sound barrier it's a guaranteed
6336s fight win if you get even one kill with
6338s that ult combo I think you just go
6339s aggressive and let it rip I also kind of
6341s think this is like where everyone's
6343s positioned right now is a good
6344s opportunity for moving fish to try and
6346s section off sniper and maybe Focus down
6347s the enemy
6349s Sigma we see that amp Matrix coming
6352s through and H key goes over the top
6353s immediately takes down Halo Z goes down
6356s no support no back line and whisp should
6359s go down very quickly as well nyxl Embers
6362s guaranteeing themselves The Fight Win
6363s with those two ultimates and Timeless
6365s ethereal also expending the amp Matrix
6368s to get nothing in the last fight now
6371s that's that's dive 101 from nyxl Embers
6373s you send moving fish in bait out some
6374s cool downs and then suddenly you go in
6376s with the nanoade and there is nothing
6377s that Timeless ethereal could possibly
6378s have done to slow that one down even the
6381s ality field wasn't enough to slow it
6382s down and now moving fish with this very
6384s aggressive positioning means that sniper
6386s can't sit comfortably where they want to
6388s right now yeah it's like sniper doesn't
6391s really have a good way to get that
6392s Winston off The High Ground either
6393s without positioning The Shield up there
6395s but then you are faced with so much
6397s damage coming up up front now X10 forced
6400s off The High Ground so not as good of an
6401s angle but still that Bob in the back
6403s pocket and the prang will rage as well
6404s TR this ethereal just building up to
6406s that cortic FL on sniper and should be
6408s able to get a little bit of damage down
6410s but it doesn't actually connect so they
6411s are able to get out of all of it while
6413s whisk goes down in the backline moving
6415s fish still going for more with the
6417s Primal Rage coming through and Bun now
6419s switching onto the Tracer but the pulse
6421s bomb does not connect and moving fish
6423s still alive despite not having a sight
6425s line onto their backline no supports and
6428s still able to keep themselves up with
6430s the Primal Rage I the bun Tracer swap I
6432s do like the idea in theory but I think
6434s she needs to be a little bit more
6435s aggressive and try and focus down the
6436s supports a little bit more but she's
6437s actually going to reach for all reliable
6439s that Bastion she's not going to
6440s pressuring down any support she wants to
6442s make moving fishes like hell oh and now
6445s with the rally as well poru is able to
6447s keep moving fish up through all of that
6450s damage even with sniper right into their
6451s faces forcing out both the sound barrier
6453s and the immortality field cooldowns as
6455s well as the amplification Matrix but it
6457s doesn't even Force any positioning X10
6459s is just taxing this payload all the way
6462s to the end and sniper is taking so much
6464s damage has to disengage and now goes in
6466s for the recontest but this is such a
6468s tough one trying to dance around the
6469s shield sniper go goes down H key has
6472s that Dragon Blade and is just going onto
6474s this backline bun how are you going to
6476s get into position there is no way and
6479s there is an round completion all the way
6483s to the end and it and it does come down
6486s to both again that early mid-fight
6488s pickoff there onto sniper on on point a
6490s that ends up giving the point over to
6492s nyxl Embers and then the fact that they
6494s were able to have the wherewithal to
6495s cycle their ults effectively snowball
6498s everything through point B and you can
6499s even look at the value that this Genji
6501s is actually getting from hkey now 15 and
6504s three that's a pretty good KD 14 and one
6506s for X10 that's uh yeah that's that's
6509s pretty good and then you know let's look
6511s at onun as well only one death that
6513s means that you know even when bun did
6515s make the swap over onto the Tracer there
6517s was no backline pressure coming out from
6519s nyxl Embers so all those bades are going
6521s to eventually start to find Pay Dirt all
6523s of that healing going on to moving fish
6525s means that they're going to be a lot
6526s more difficult to dislodge that's going
6528s to make more space for H key to go in
6530s you know potentially with the Nanos that
6532s anun has built up just from sheer value
6534s of being alive getting all of this
6536s healing done it's dive 101 and you know
6539s whatever happened on on downtown Samoa
6541s it's been thrown out the window nyxl
6542s Embers this is how you are going to have
6544s to keep playing if you want to play this
6546s comp I like what I'm seeing so far can
6548s we get a good defensive hold with it no
6550s I love the aggression that we saw come
6552s out from on Timeless with the oil
6553s initially their comp is a lot more front
6556s to back when they had that may when they
6558s had the sojourn like the sojourn can go
6560s for the flank but it's they're not
6561s really a flank hero now switching on the
6563s Tracer you have a little bit more
6565s pressure on the back line and this
6567s though still being able to protect and
6569s un it's going to be a good look and whis
6572s trying to shot out on the Widow now back
6574s onto soj I mean looking for an opening
6577s shot see if anybody was going to take
6578s the bait no one did so time to find a
6580s new fishing hole and we're going to swap
6581s over to the so to do it that's a great
6583s Dynamite spot though utilizing this
6584s choke now X10 has an advantageous
6586s position on this choke oh poru goes down
6589s to Z though and any you is a little bit
6591s vulnerable because of that but they
6593s nearly took down sniper they were able
6594s to get the immortality field cool down
6596s on NL ember's side and now bun is just
6599s really trying to pressure out X10 and
6601s make sure that they can't get the
6602s position time with ethereal they are
6604s finding their picks X10 going down and
6607s in a matter of seconds that's a point
6608s gap that's the value that the Tracer is
6610s going to provide if you keep harassing
6611s the backliners or even harassing X10 it
6613s makes it so hard for anyone to support
6615s moving fish's dive and then suddenly
6617s they can't realistically go in at all in
6619s any place where they're going to find
6620s significant value there's just not
6621s enough damage that comes out from the
6623s Winston if anun can't sit comfortably
6626s then moving fish is going to have a bad
6628s time so great play from bun there to do
6630s just that have that constant threat
6632s there now almost ethereal they want to
6634s try and keep up the snowball they don't
6635s want to give nyxl Embers this PGE from
6637s which to jump
6639s on well now we have moving fish trying
6641s to jump on sniper the anti gets a lot of
6644s damage whis just spams right through
6646s that bubble and takes down moving fish
6647s and NL Embers now left on their back
6650s foot once again they don't really have a
6652s leg to stand on without that Winson
6654s being the me Shield having so much
6656s damage and making space at the front now
6658s sniper can just Coral this entire Squad
6660s into a little room and even though they
6662s do have the anti-ad here they are able
6664s to keep themselves up and whis has such
6667s good position is being basically
6668s uncontested from that High Ground I mean
6671s yeah uncontested is Right nyxl Embers
6673s they're just going to vacate the
6673s premises especially with that ant Matrix
6675s up once that's down though be on the
6677s lookout for another push to come out
6678s here the nanoade combo is almost online
6681s as is the Bob they're going to need to
6683s invest at least half of that to try and
6685s retake this High Ground cuz that is all
6687s important right
6690s now this High Ground means so much for
6694s being able to make sure this point does
6697s not get through from under the bridge
6698s now they're going to go ahead with the
6700s Nano moving fish going up onto The High
6702s Ground they still have three ultimates
6704s left over to expend Now using the oh P
6707s bomb to take down anion now the Bob has
6709s to come through to try and eat even out
6710s the player disadvantage moving fish
6712s hasn't found a single pick despite
6714s having that Nano on top but Z does go
6717s down eventually how hello
6721s bun H key okay H key comes in with the
6724s blade and Bun goes down but they use the
6726s blade to do that and it's literally like
6729s less than a meter from the that's that's
6733s so awful I mean they used all three of
6734s their ultimates sure they build up the
6735s Primal Rage but the fact that they had
6737s to use the the Dragon Blade just to
6739s touch the point and stop the C9 from
6741s coming through that's I mean bun just
6744s gets value just by existing in the
6746s backline you can see po you doesn't want
6747s to take any chances now just holding
6748s this frig on the cart as close as
6750s possible we're not falling for that one
6752s fool me once fool me twice
6755s uh-uh yeah they are just not going to be
6757s taking any risk anymore whis trying to
6759s get a lot of damage down as this dive
6761s goes through the sound barrier comes
6762s down and whsp using the overclock to
6764s force themselves onto that High Ground
6766s HP looking to deflect but there is
6768s nothing to come overclock fully charged
6770s looking to take down moving fish and
6772s does so HQ still looking to contest
6774s trying to get some of that healing
6776s through but X10 going down and pour you
6778s quickly after there is just not much
6781s that anyone can do to stop this push
6783s from happening when you're playing a
6785s dive comp like this you live and die by
6786s your ultimate economy especially when
6788s you're going to like again we go back to
6790s having to use that Dragon Blade wouldn't
6792s would have been so nice to have that
6794s available right to slow down all of this
6796s pressure time atherial wouldn't it have
6798s been you know something just to be able
6800s to chunk through some of that you know
6802s all that Health you know maybe force out
6803s a couple more cool downs from ESS
6804s ethereal but they don't have to sweat
6806s time ethereal can just push up even P
6808s way up here on this corner are you
6810s actually going to make a swap over onto
6811s the kittyo so I'm curious as to what the
6813s game plan is with this I mean maybe just
6816s to try and go for one quick kunai shot
6818s onto
6819s bun okay well sniper had such good
6821s forward position but that just was
6823s immediately melted because there was no
6824s sight line from Z they're using that
6826s amplification Matrix to force a few
6828s positions and there is the anti
6830s antibiotic to come down but the Primal
6832s Rage onto moving fish get out of there
6834s Winston try and get a little bit of help
6836s before since that is connecting but I
6839s think foru is really just looking for a
6841s little bit more mobility and able to
6843s follow up on these Dives I mean you're
6844s definitely going to want some Mobility
6846s right now with that gravitic flux coming
6847s and you want to get the hell out of
6848s there moving fish gets slammed down half
6850s the HP bar taken down they going to
6852s force the Nano just so they can keep the
6855s aggression I mean this is a nice idea
6858s from them as well just being able to
6859s keep up their momentum and make sure
6861s that they're still being forth forward
6862s especially since Oru is building up to
6865s that katuni Rush as well both of the DPS
6868s ultimates on the board for nyxl Embers
6870s they just need to be able to cycle them
6871s well bun falling to X10 with one head
6874s shot is good though and sniper if
6876s they're able to land a good anti should
6878s be able to just shred through the health
6880s of the S even if they don't though look
6882s at the the ult economy for nyxl Embers
6884s they're cycling it through perfectly and
6885s because of that Nano boost that Anon
6887s used onto that gravitic flux they
6888s weren't able to secure the kill they
6889s have to play far back now they don't
6891s have space to operate X10 can keep going
6893s in for the shots you can even see how
6895s far forward sniper is playing to try and
6896s deny that angle but that just leaves
6899s moving fish with perfect access to the
6901s backline yeah sniper can't be there to
6904s try and protect the back line there's a
6905s bob to come through and it tears through
6907s the immortality field and now that
6909s backline has to use the sound barrier to
6911s keep themselves alive whis going to
6913s shred through the health of the Bob at
6915s the very least but takes the overclock
6916s to do so and now is so low Health as
6919s moving fish goes for the dive on they
6921s have the Ki Rush theyve used that blade
6923s as well and now the katuni rush to come
6925s through and allows for so much more
6927s damage to be put down by this DPS line
6930s for you trying to keep themselves alive
6932s and is able to do so however X10 getting
6935s very very low imortality field to keep
6937s sniper up and whis finds the first pick
6940s onto H key Now using the Nano to keep
6942s moving fish alive and keep up the
6943s aggression onto the back line but
6945s they're still going to have to disengage
6946s and whisp with that final rail gun shot
6949s find
6950s that's such a long fight and it's all
6952s because of anun being able to keep po
6953s you alive and being able to keep moving
6955s fish alive with the aid of the Nano but
6956s now it's starting to stagger it's all
6958s starting to fall apart Timeless ethereal
6960s are making some Headway here and with no
6961s ult to their name it's going to be
6963s stagger City for nyxl Embers they have
6965s to try and get on the point keep it in
6966s contest and build up to something
6968s surmountable with an ant Matrix coming
6970s through and with whis pumping in the
6971s damage it just might not be in the
6974s cards oh now they have X10 switching
6976s onto the Tracer just weaving in and out
6978s of the point able to get a little of
6980s that Health back and H ke finding whis
6982s so now for you and an and keeping their
6984s DPSS alive buying time for moving fish
6987s to come back in now on the doist loss of
6988s Mobility here and for you also just
6991s keeping that DPS up Halo and Z they're
6993s trading a little bit back though they're
6995s able to find both of the supports and
6997s now there is just no backline for
6999s anybody but less than a minute left over
7001s if they're able to full cap this on
7003s Timeless ethereal side they will have
7004s less of a Time Bank than nyxl Embers so
7007s nyxl Embers this is their map win I I
7009s mean that's all like for my money once
7011s again anun is the hero of that fight X10
7014s no gets a little aggressive and sniper
7016s catches out catches catches them out are
7018s they going to be able to get back in
7020s time HQ needs to stay alive here the
7021s suzu is forced early time is ethereal
7023s they smell blood in the water and they
7025s need to attack
7026s it and now the kitsuna rush to come
7029s through just force that position through
7031s get that little bit of damage down
7032s there's the pulse bomb ready looking for
7034s a stick stick onto Wisp and now they're
7036s missing that overclock that potentially
7038s could have come through EX taking down
7040s that DPS and the Sleep onto sniper that
7043s is so good now sniper without that tank
7045s without that meat Shield how is they're
7047s going to force this forward they're
7048s using the sound beer getting that over
7050s Health getting that shield and hopefully
7052s it should allow them to stay on the
7054s point but moving fish Tak down Z now no
7057s sustain and nyxl Embers they are in the
7060s position to win it can they touch once
7062s again sniper activates the overtime but
7065s is shredded through the doomfist help
7066s whis has this power slid through but the
7068s overtime is gone on too soon nyxl Embers
7072s they win Midtown this is what I want to
7074s see from nyxl Embers I know that they
7076s are this good and I know they are
7078s capable of playing the dive composition
7080s to this extent HQ she's phenomenal on
7082s this Genji and X10 on the Tracer there
7084s with some of the hero plays toward the
7086s tail end you know I I highlight anun and
7088s of course I'm going to get back to her
7089s in a second just give me a moment HQ and
7092s X10 going in deep the pressure down whs
7095s and uh and Z you know we're playing
7097s behind that ant Matrix way far in the
7099s back getting a ton of value putting out
7100s so much damage onto the point making it
7102s hard for for nyxl Embers to even try and
7104s keep it in contest taking down that
7106s sojourn is the first Domino to fall and
7108s everything else just collapses from
7110s there and it also has to do with the
7112s focus fire that was going down onto anun
7114s and the fact that even in death she was
7116s able to get a Parting Shot onto bun take
7119s that Tracer out of the equation suddenly
7121s with no DPS there's no way that ESS
7123s athero can close that one out and just
7126s by the Skin of Their Teeth nyxl Embers
7128s hang on take Midtown and set us up one
7131s to
7132s one I think we have a series on our
7134s hands CV because remember this is the
7136s upper semifinals we have a first to
7139s three potentially five maps and with a
7142s one to one score line already we are
7144s guaranteed this fourth map I think nyxl
7147s Embers that first point on Midtown was
7149s definitely a little bit dicey Timeless
7151s Imperial basically bow them over like
7153s dominoes but as soon as they were into
7155s the streets phase they were able to hold
7157s on so well a little bit of an oopsy with
7159s the back C from bun but otherwise I
7161s think they were doing so incredibly well
7164s in keeping up the pressure keeping up
7165s the aggression and just melting down
7167s that time bank as well it was I believe
7169s more than four minutes headed onto third
7171s point and they were just able to
7172s completely get rid of it and it's going
7174s to sound very very stupid but I think
7176s the key to Victory here for nyxl Embers
7179s is the fact that they did not C9 sure
7181s they had to invest everything to prevent
7183s bun from bat capping there but they did
7184s not C9 that's the kind of thing that
7187s like when you're already down in a
7188s series can just completely boom you like
7190s your spirit's just broken like you're
7192s you're like I'm such a I'm such an idiot
7194s I can't believe I let that happen we're
7195s so stupid how did they you avoid all
7198s that right you still get to breathe you
7200s win the map hey you it was your map pick
7202s you win that means you know Timeless
7203s ethereal it's gonna be theirs next
7205s because they have the advantage from
7206s winning control but you stay alive you
7209s don't suffer a humiliating defeat on
7211s your map pick that's pretty big you you
7213s got to keep your mental up through you
7215s know to make it through a series that's
7216s like
7217s this yeah I mean I'm sure when it happen
7219s and they were just like oh my God what
7221s are we doing but then they were building
7223s up the alt Banks again they got their
7224s momentum back they were back into the
7226s aggression they were back into the swing
7227s of things and then all was well once
7229s again and now where is timeless ethereal
7231s going to take us over on the splash
7233s point and Timeless ethereal you
7234s mentioned that their map streak was
7236s broken last weekend and they're trying
7238s to build up another one but they were
7240s just denied that by nyxl Embers yeah no
7242s no map streak where was set the timer
7244s back down to zero maybe we'll start it
7246s again on new junk City but hey it's
7247s definitely not going to reach try again
7249s try again definitely not going to reach
7250s that 29 that we had before all right
7252s unless unless we make some big moves
7254s through uh through the Championships but
7256s hey you know that's assuming I mean it
7258s is got a pretty safe assumption but
7259s assuming Timeless ethereal make it that
7261s far they most likely will I don't see
7263s any any world in which they fall out of
7265s the top six here but you still want to
7266s make sure that you're high seated you
7267s know you still want to make sure that
7268s you're asserting your dominance and
7270s right now it's being challenged right by
7272s both Michael wave and now by nyxl Embers
7274s I like this dive composition from nyxl I
7276s want to see them keep playing it I want
7278s to see if you know if tyon ethereal
7281s adapt or if they're just going to stick
7282s to their guns just try and play that
7284s default Sigma composition as well as
7286s they possibly can are they going to be
7288s forced to make a swap I mean is their
7290s back going to be up against a wall are
7291s they going to be forced to I I don't
7293s even know if I've seen them make a swap
7294s for like you know last Point contesting
7296s I think they've just been sticking with
7297s the sigma pretty much you know till
7299s they're
7300s dead yeah I think that sniper switched
7303s to doomfist for all of 15 seconds
7306s according to the stats that we have here
7309s so at at the very end when it was
7311s overtime sniper switch doomfist but
7312s otherwise they were basically just
7314s sticking to their guns for most of the
7316s just most of the map they weren't really
7318s trying to adapt around these team
7320s compositions this is what they know this
7322s is what they're good at and they're
7323s going to stick to that but on the other
7325s hand we saw some adaptation coming
7327s through on the side of nyxl Embers we
7330s saw that they were trying things and
7332s they in the end decided to stick with
7335s the Winston dive and that really helped
7337s them out I what's interesting by the way
7340s is like you know I'm I'm asking if we're
7341s going to see any swaps that come out
7342s from the side of Timeless ethereal if
7344s they're going to make any compositional
7345s changes but realistically they don't
7347s actually have to cuz we did see glimpses
7349s of it in the previous Series where you
7351s can just have your May player Mark the
7353s enemy Genji and suddenly there's going
7355s to be no follow-up damage for the dive
7357s for whatever reason bun who I'm touting
7360s as potentially the best May in all of
7361s calling all heroes if not definitively
7364s the best May in C she doesn't feel like
7367s she has the ability to do that so we're
7370s not ever seeing a situation where nyxl
7372s Embers are really forced off of the dive
7374s unless the map is calling for it and it
7376s feels like here on new junk City the map
7379s very well might be calling for it I
7380s think flasho as a game mode is just a
7383s little bit more conducive to this Sigma
7384s composition with the May and with the uh
7386s the sojan on one side the Asher on the
7388s other scratch that no exent going back
7390s over to the
7392s soj well Soldier and a mirror I mean
7395s it's it's just a 100% mirror composition
7398s for both of these and I mean I think
7400s eyes will be on anun because you are
7402s touting her as one of the best flex
7404s supports in calling all heroes and as
7406s well as bun now on their comfort pick of
7409s that may so HP getting shredded a little
7411s bit early but it seems like NYL Embers
7414s they want to go for something very
7416s aggressive here it looks like bun got
7417s the first May wall out there that should
7419s force down a lot of cool Downs now she's
7420s going to go ahead and put up another one
7421s but it goes right back down Timeless
7423s ethereal they actually get pressured
7426s down that was such an excellent wall
7428s from H key and that takes down sniper
7430s and the rest of them are just going to
7431s fall like dominoes they should be able
7433s to get that first capture onto the flash
7435s point halow and Z falling up shortly
7438s after that that's a rare misstep there
7440s from bun the First wall was good cuz it
7441s forced down the coold Downs the second
7443s one though didn't stay up long enough
7444s for NYX or for Timeless ethereal to get
7447s any value out of it so nyxl Embers yeah
7449s they take first cap and now it's
7451s Timeless ethereal that have to try and
7452s find their way in nyxl Embers can just
7454s split play around this choke point wait
7456s for time that the to walk into their
7458s trap and then spray it all out of the
7460s dive comp but you know a little bit
7461s something a little bit more
7463s mirrored oh no PO you falling to whisp
7466s that is kind of devastating for their
7469s squad having that first pick go on one
7471s their supports extend maybe able to St
7473s it back so bun just was not expecting
7475s all that damage to come from the side
7477s sniper Falls to one HP and there is once
7480s again the immortality shield from Z
7483s however the amp Matrix is being built up
7485s very quickly on Timeless etherial side
7486s on the other side they already have an
7488s amp Matrix ready they could potentially
7489s Force the positioning but it is ticking
7491s up very quickly already up to 80% from
7494s nyxl Embers they need to get a touch
7496s quickly or just give this one up I mean
7498s the pick up on theoru is really all the
7500s time etheral have their name right now
7501s and sure losing the mobility kind of
7503s hurts but when you have the enemy pinned
7504s down you don't need Mobility it's
7505s Timeless ethereal that have to make the
7508s move yeah they have nowhere to go they
7511s have to get on to the point sniper going
7513s down the ice block comes through from
7514s bun but it is just nothing to be done
7517s overtime slowly fading away with are you
7519s going to go for the touch here and they
7521s do and fall immediately now without a
7524s leg to stand on Timeless ethereal they
7527s lose that first capture and we even go
7529s back to that pick off onto puu well puu
7531s is back and now the sound barrier old
7533s charge has matched up so you don't even
7534s have the advantage there because you
7536s weren't able to pull the trigger so you
7538s know Halo she's got to be worrying about
7540s like all right when do I use this it's
7541s got to be for hq's blizzard right you
7543s know that that's the the main logical
7544s time that you're going to want to use it
7545s meanwhile for you you know you use it
7548s for the gravitic flux use it for the
7549s blizzard use it for whatever comes out
7550s from Timeless ethereal but again it's
7552s nyxl Embers that they have the early the
7554s Early Point presence it's at Timeless
7556s ethereal having to come through a choke
7558s point here playing into nyxl's
7561s hand now nyxl Embers they're in such
7564s good position the gravitic flux from
7566s sniper does come through though it's
7567s going to be the immortality field that
7570s saves them and the Blizzard from bun now
7572s looking to get some aggression down and
7574s it does take down H key but they use the
7576s sound barrier as well just to get that
7579s overhal Timeless ethereal they're
7581s comboing their ultimates very well and
7583s moving fish doesn't have any supports to
7586s help him help them out they are going to
7588s go down well things uh have at least
7591s leveled out here ult wise we're in a
7592s fairly neutral save for the overclocks
7594s on either side but neither soier
7597s currently in position to make anything
7598s out of him I'm curious to see if X10
7600s might try and go for a flank draw a
7601s little bit of pressure away from the
7603s choke point where there is currently a
7605s lot of pressure actually in the form of
7606s a couple of May walls you know what's
7608s those go down it might get a little bit
7610s more easy to move about the cabin here
7612s but there it is there's the
7614s flank yeah the flank from xn finding
7617s Halo I mean Halo didn't have a sound
7619s barrier but still that extra Mobility
7621s would have been nice he's going to trade
7622s that right back for foro but the rest of
7624s nyxl Embers they are running over the
7627s BPS line whsp is looking for a flank of
7630s their own fun almost going down oh it's
7633s actually X10 that's just gets found by
7635s the rail gun shot immortality field cool
7638s down used to keep moving fish alive and
7640s on the point able to weave in and out
7641s the shield for a few seconds longer but
7644s it seems like they're just going to be
7645s staying alive never mind whsp goes in
7647s for another rail gun shot and pumping
7649s out the BPS is this sojourn allowing
7652s Timeless ethereal to keep a hold on to
7654s this point overtime now activated as the
7657s once again try and re-engage H key just
7659s get shredded through though and I don't
7661s think foru can contest this I I I really
7664s did like the flank play from X10 but
7666s that initial rail shot with the
7667s overclock has to be a one two punch and
7669s the second punch from nyxl EMB just
7671s never came through you know moving fish
7673s was on the point living for a very long
7675s time but you take that if you're in
7677s control of the point it doesn't matter
7678s if the enemy tank is alive for forever
7680s if they never die who cares cuz you
7681s still at the end of the day capture the
7683s point once moving fish finally you know
7685s drops off the point and even drops off
7687s the face of the Earth finally gets
7688s cleaned up by that point the fight's
7690s already won Timeless ethereal in
7692s essentially one fight take that entire
7695s point now we move over here to this next
7697s point and Timeless a are now the ones
7700s who are in control early nyxl Embers
7702s once again having to find a way
7704s in and now zoned out by the May wall
7707s once again having a moving fish with
7710s their back against the wall but using
7711s the gravitic FX and actually catching
7713s the Baptist in it the immortality field
7715s does go down the Baptist is trying to
7717s escape while the blizzard comes through
7719s from bun and shreds through both of the
7721s DPS of nyxl Embers now without no one
7724s anyone to pump out any damage is going
7726s to be really hard to keep this
7729s tank up and the rest of them fall like
7731s Domino's it's a shame cuz the gravitic
7733s flux from moving fish captured exactly
7734s who they needed to they needed to get Z
7736s off the field there potentially maybe
7737s get a pick off there onto Halo as well
7739s but the supports had the cooldowns that
7741s they needed and had the follow-up damage
7742s from the rest of the Embers been there
7744s you know you got to believe that Z at
7745s the very least would have fallen but
7747s everybody was too busy dealing with bun
7748s and the blizzard on the point great ult
7750s play coming out from Timeless ethereal
7752s and it's only one ult that they use to
7754s win that one more fight and they're
7756s going to win it they're going to go and
7756s open up the gravitic flux here it looks
7758s like doesn't really catch
7761s anybody yeah they were just kind of all
7763s stuck under the door there and x 10
7766s though finding fun is just traded right
7768s back it's the soldier in 1 V one
7770s head-to-head that they just keep getting
7772s so much value out of the x10 comes on
7774s top of wisp and they had that overlock
7777s in the back pocket so now Timeless
7779s ethereal they're trying to deal with the
7780s flank from X10 and that's going to get
7782s them out of position on the point so at
7784s the very least capture comes through
7785s from oxl Embers but now the re-engage
7788s from sniper first they have to find a
7789s way to shred through the health and do
7791s so with the May wall Halo doesn't have
7793s legs to sand on goes down that that's a
7795s 2K for Halo by the way I like she she
7797s almost single-handedly flips that back
7799s in favor of Timeless ethereal but being
7800s the last one standing it's no it's no
7803s way for El Lucio to be unless you're
7804s trying to really really stall for time
7806s you definitely don't want to give too
7808s much time over to nyxl Embers because
7809s they're going to start building up to an
7810s overclock to match your own they're
7812s going to start building up to a gravitic
7814s flux while you're trailing a little bit
7815s behind support alss aren't really much
7817s of a factor right now it's going to come
7819s down mostly to which sojourn is able to
7821s get the better of it with WIS having the
7822s early early overclock it just might be
7824s timeless
7826s ethereal a lot of damage going down
7828s that's the immortality field only taking
7830s down the immortality field here so great
7833s use of it from anion to keep the team
7835s alive and now the overclock does come
7837s through from X10 needs to find a lot of
7839s damage here doesn't look like they're
7841s connecting too many of the rail gon
7842s shots just yet but moving fish using the
7845s gravitic blux also not finding anything
7847s sniper trades it back but just
7848s immediately dies before it could even go
7850s off and un being the one to take down
7853s that tank Halo however looking to be the
7855s DPS Lucio that Timeless ethereal needs
7857s trying to find a hero but there is no
7859s hero for Timeless ethereal as they are
7862s pulled over nyxl Ember is taking second
7864s capture point so so X10 doesn't actually
7866s find a whole lot of damage with that
7868s overclock right but they don't actually
7869s even need to because everybody just
7870s tries to kite it losos and they shepher
7872s themselves into a nice convenient corner
7875s for moving fish to lift them all up by
7877s the Scruff of their neck with that vitic
7878s flux and slam them back down the
7880s followup damage does come through sniper
7882s tries to respond but you know there's
7884s not enough support there's not enough
7886s healing there's not enough for them to
7887s be able to get that ultimate off and
7889s they end up essentially just donating it
7890s over rather than holding it on for the
7892s junkyard point over here where now yeah
7895s they have a blizzard and they have a
7896s beat but look at nyxl Embers ditto for
7898s them and they've got the point
7902s presence yeah they already have good
7904s control good defensive positioning up on
7906s The High Ground as well which is
7907s incredibly important important but HK
7909s does get the ice Block Force pretty
7911s quickly it seems like they might be
7912s looking for a flank play on wisp side
7915s still trying to get onto that High
7916s Ground oh oh okay Oro does go down to
7919s Halo the Lucio 1 V one coming out on
7922s Timeless ethereal on top sniper finding
7924s HP as well and moving fish I'm not
7926s really sure what happened there I'm
7927s going to assume it was a boot from Halo
7929s so another big play from this Lucio
7932s player I a ton of big plays you know you
7933s take poru out that's the enemy sound
7935s barrier that's you know their their last
7937s resort their oh no we're going to lose
7939s if we don't pop this ult emergency abort
7941s abort pop the sound barrier you take
7943s that option away you're going to either
7945s Force some other ults out or force them
7946s to just give up the whole point and
7948s thankfully for nyxl Embers it is the
7949s ladder they can hold on to their ult
7951s advantage that said though is it really
7953s an advantage cuz times the theal have
7955s matched it and even in some senses
7957s overtaken it and again with control of
7959s the point nyxl Embers on the outside
7961s looking in just trying to find a crack
7963s in the Timeless ethereal
7966s armor yeah whis already having the
7968s overclock now the blizzard come out from
7970s H ke looking for that little bit of
7972s damage takes down bun at the very least
7974s but it's just traded right back both of
7976s the maze now out of the picture with
7978s both lizards out of the picture using
7980s the gra gravity surge now from moving
7982s fish as well as sound barrier to force
7985s them onto this point while time of theal
7987s are still taking up the contention does
7989s come through Halo now coming in after
7991s using the sound barrier oh now without
7994s anion they helped take down the
7996s immortality field and allow whis to get
7999s those two picks with the overclock that
8000s that's a coll collateral damage there
8002s for whsp that's two with one rail shot
8004s and you know it's it's Halo that's
8005s setting a lot of this up she's playing
8007s phenomenally right now finding a lot of
8009s value going aggressive with a lot of the
8010s boobs displacing moving fish or outright
8013s displacing the entire enemy team off the
8015s map if she has her way there is only one
8017s more Point left to go we're at two a
8019s piece and as we move in Timeless
8021s ethereal should be the one to dig their
8023s claws into it earlier but nyxl Embers
8026s X10 has to kind of go huge here with
8028s this uh with this overclock right nyxl
8030s Embers can completely flip this on its
8032s head if x10's able to hit one rail shot
8034s but that's pressure how do they Fair
8036s under this kind of
8038s pressure they have the amp Matrix as
8041s well treading through the May wall to
8043s try and get that damage through sniper
8045s already falling pretty low on time
8048s serial side but X10 finds whis and now
8051s without a DPS moving fish going down to
8053s Halo though Halo is making some huge
8056s plays for Timeless Imperial playing out
8058s of her mind to get them in a good
8059s position to have that first capture it's
8062s a good opening pick off there from X10
8063s but you can't lose moving fish there a
8065s Timeless at the they're going to take it
8066s and X10 you know holds on to the
8068s overclock yeah is still probably going
8070s to need to invest it in the next fight
8071s because nyxl Embers don't have anything
8074s else to speak of they can maybe build up
8075s to a blizzard or a sound be if this
8077s fight goes long but you don't want it to
8080s you want this to be swift you can't
8081s donate any time over to time with
8082s ethereal especially when we're on the
8085s last Point here n yxl Embers how do you
8087s get in in this narrow narrow
8090s choke yeah they are trying to be
8093s decisive the gravity actually does find
8096s a few people but it doesn't do much
8098s damage here it's actually going to be
8099s the Blizzard from bun the followup
8101s coring them all into this little room
8104s that's allowing them for you uses the
8105s beat but it's a little bit too late they
8107s at least flip that point over but they
8110s can't hold on to it they're not going to
8112s be able to hold on to it for long that's
8114s just kind of some trash percentage being
8115s donated over but that does kind of keep
8117s it a little bit safe that gives them a
8119s little bit of a buffer to where once
8120s they regroup they should be able to cap
8122s again fortunately you know the last two
8124s Heroes that were contesting were the
8125s fastest ones in nyxl EMP comp and they
8128s have an ult advantage but it is do or
8130s die right now they either win this fight
8132s and do it with enough to to play for the
8134s next fight or they are going to go down
8137s in this series amp Matrix is coming out
8139s from Timeless ethereal who's going to
8141s fall first it's X10 the over oh the
8144s overclock from X10 was active too but
8146s NYL Embers they should be able to clean
8148s up the rest of they were so focused on
8150s trying to take that DPS with the
8151s overclock out that they weren't focused
8154s on what the rest of the team was doing
8156s and that was shredding through their
8157s health bars a team Kill from nxl Embers
8159s helps it flip the point over and now
8162s they are steadly ticking up but Timeless
8165s ethereal they are in last fight
8166s territory nyxl Embers they still need to
8169s win one or two fights and the problem is
8170s that they used both DPS ultimates
8172s ideally you want to use the gravitic
8173s flux bait out the support ultimates you
8175s want to bait out that that immortality
8177s field as well then you go in with a
8179s blizzard or then you go in with an
8180s overclock and clean up the damage but
8181s that's not there they're going to have
8183s to do it with just this ridic flux bait
8185s out the beat and then go entirely
8187s neutral here this should be the last
8189s fight this decides who goes up in the
8191s series who gets the next map picked
8193s where are we going from here here comes
8195s the amp Matrix from NYX L ERS to kick it
8198s off oh and now the amp Matrix it doesn't
8200s seem to be finding anything it forces a
8202s little bit of positioning though and now
8204s they're in last fight territory they use
8206s the gravitic flux and immediately used
8209s the sound barrier to counter and
8211s Timeless atherial they're finding so
8212s much accent trates it back but is
8214s immediately taken down by bun now H ke
8217s has to stay alive there's the ice lock
8218s to come through but the Blizzard from
8220s Timeless ethereal they cannot do
8222s anything with that moving fish switches
8224s over to doomfist but these flash points
8226s they are just too far Timeless ethereal
8229s by the Skin of Their Teeth win flash
8231s points by the Skin of Their Teeth by the
8234s accretion of sniper to shut down that
8236s gravitic flux Timeless a the
8238s they're able to take it but this is
8240s feeling so close about as close as we
8242s expected you know it didn't look that
8244s close on Samoa but ever since then it's
8246s been blow for blow back and forth and
8248s this is a great microcosm of it you know
8250s I was calling out how like you know nyxl
8253s Embers don't have a secondary damage ult
8255s to follow up on the damage coming out
8257s from the gravitic flux well there wasn't
8258s any damage from the gravitic flux and
8260s sniper made sure of that they are one of
8261s the best sigas in the business and you
8263s got one of the best sigas in the
8264s business coupled with one of the best ma
8267s in the business that I mean that's the
8269s kind of business I want to be doing here
8270s in K if I'm trying to go for the top
8272s spot if I'm trying to assert my
8274s dominance and make everybody forget the
8276s name Michael wave this is how I do
8280s it make everyone also forget the name
8282s nyxl Embers because they also took a map
8285s from them which has been unheard of in
8287s the previous I think three majors and
8290s minors so that is just incredible taking
8293s a map from them on
8295s stream yeah I mean like in front of an
8298s audience no that's unforgivable for
8300s Timeless ethereal I mean yeah we have
8302s now borne witness to the fact that
8304s Timeless ethereal can bleed but we have
8307s also shown that they can bandage
8308s themselves up pretty damn well and they
8310s can also draw a fair bit of blood from
8312s the enemy team and it's going to
8314s continue to get bloody as we go on
8316s forward it's going to be nyxl ember's
8318s map pick as now Timeless ethereal are on
8321s map point and you know like it's so
8324s close you know what do you do if you're
8326s if you're nyxl Ember how do you try and
8329s overtake it how do you try and make up
8330s that last little bit of difference we
8333s are going to have to find out we're
8334s going to throw it to a quick break and
8336s we'll be right back with the next map
8338s pick don't go anywhere this one's heaten
8346s [Music]
8356s up
8361s [Music]
8398s [Music]
8446s oh
8460s [Music]
8476s he
8482s [Music]
8495s after heated three Maps between nyxl
8498s Embers versus Timeless ethereal this is
8502s looking to be a series that Can Go the
8505s Distance we are currently two one Tim
8507s list e theal leading and they are on map
8509s point but it is
8511s NYX X nyxl ember's map pick glad you did
8515s the the tongue twister practice before
8516s we went live yeah it does look like a
8518s series that Can Go the Distance but in
8520s order for it to go the distance nyxl
8522s Embers have to win here on their map
8524s pick which easier said than done going
8526s up against Timeless ethereal you know
8529s and looking at these two teams and the
8530s compositions that they've played I kind
8532s of favor nyxl Embers by sheer force of
8534s flexibility but that said when it goes
8536s to the sigma mirror
8538s I mean ESS ethereal just a hair better
8541s at that Sigma mirror when it comes to
8542s the sigma play when it comes to the may
8543s play I like the dive composition and I
8545s like the flexibility that moving fish
8547s has shown us but is that going to be
8549s enough for them to topple the tyrants
8551s that have been Timeless we're going to
8553s have to go to coloso to find
8555s out hey on the push map of coliseo let I
8560s don't know what is actually going to
8561s come out here and honestly if you have
8563s noticed my cat walking across my desk
8565s it's because he's trying to eat chipot
8567s leg sh shout out to Chipotle for a
8569s Barbacoa bowl that I am currently trying
8571s out apparently cats like it too but do
8573s not feed it to your cats because I don't
8575s think that they can have Chipotle hey
8577s hold on Google is uh can hold on can
8581s cats have
8583s Chipotle uh okay unfortunately Google
8586s says you should avoid letting your cats
8588s nibble on spicy food because it upsets
8590s their tummies and leaves them feeling
8591s sick okay yeah don't don't don't let
8593s your cats anywhere near the Chipotle
8595s enjoy it all for yourself we've got uh
8597s you know we got plenty of spice going on
8599s in this map already in this matchup and
8601s I like the coloso pick because this is
8604s where it gets kind of interesting that
8605s high ground that you're see on your
8606s screen right now on either side of the
8608s point is what makes Kaliso so oppressive
8611s and so difficult to try and make
8613s significant progress on I don't know if
8616s this means that it's better for nyxl
8618s Embers to bust out the dive composition
8620s to try and contest that on the enemy
8622s side or to like you know jump from it or
8625s if it's going to you know favor Timeless
8627s ethereals they just hold that high
8629s ground with the sigma I think in the
8631s neutral that little hallway and the
8633s center this should favor the sigma
8635s composition but anything past that is
8637s realistically anyone's
8640s guess yeah and I think coloso what's
8643s difficult as well is that first initial
8646s capture of the robot it's literally just
8649s one long hallway and it's not really a
8652s lot of places for you to go you can kind
8653s of Corral yourself into these like
8655s little div divots into the side into
8658s between the pillars but then you kind of
8660s have put yourself in not the greatest
8662s position but this High Ground we've seen
8664s X10 play a little bit of that Ash and I
8666s think it might be favorable to be taking
8669s out that Ash composition once again at
8672s least as one of the DPS R than the soj
8674s when when you're on the ground staring
8676s up at that high ground it isn't it's not
8678s a very good position to be in for a for
8679s a t to try and win a team fight it's a
8681s great position to hit up that gelotti
8682s cart over there I I'm a big fan of
8684s gelotti you know some uh some Italian
8686s Delicacies here very good stuff but I
8689s mean that's not what's going to win your
8690s Maps that's not what's going to win your
8691s tournaments that's definitely not what's
8693s going to get you the rest of the way two
8695s championships and that's what it's all
8697s about for these two championship caliber
8699s teams we know what they are both capable
8702s of playing I think we know what Timeless
8704s ethereal is going to play and with it
8707s being nyxl ember's map pick and with
8709s them being the more Dynamic of the two
8711s teams that we've seen the ball could not
8713s be more in their Court they have to slam
8716s dunk it though cuz they don't get any
8718s more opportunities at least in this
8719s series they's still the lower bracket of
8721s course but if they want to go ahead and
8722s make this statement really really make
8724s Timeless aeal hurt for it this is where
8727s they have to do
8729s it yeah now that we see that Timeless
8732s ethereal they like to stick to just the
8735s sigma composition I mean you said they
8737s have one of the best sigmas in the biz
8738s so why would you switch when the ball is
8740s in your court but now nyxl Embers they
8742s need to find some way to adapt here and
8745s I think that just taking the map off
8747s Timeless ethereal off stream that is
8749s especially in the manner that they did
8751s with a full map capture and they were
8753s also able to ensure that they didn't get
8756s the full capture had a huge time bank to
8758s let leave over Midtown seemed so
8761s favorable for nxl Embers and they're
8763s taking out a very similar composition
8765s here coru instead of the bergita is
8767s going onto the CUO which was really
8769s clutch in that third Point push from
8771s Timeless ethereal and X10 going on to
8774s the Hanzo I I I think the Hanzo pick is
8776s interesting we see if this sticks I kind
8778s of expect a couple of swaps here but
8781s yeah no nyxl Embers they are indeed
8783s walking out with this okay the Hanzo is
8785s an interesting pick here I think you're
8786s playing mostly to try and utilize the
8788s sight lines contest the enemy sojourn
8790s try and you know maybe use the Sonic
8792s arrows and the sheer burst damage you
8794s can put down to maybe burst down some of
8796s the May walls but I I I don't know it's
8798s going to it's going to be interesting
8799s here we're going to have to see if it
8801s ends up bearing any fruit here time is
8803s ethereal actually going to try and take
8804s a flank angle put the pressure onto X10
8806s so they might actually not get any value
8808s at all with this
8811s pick immediately you have that anti that
8814s goes onto sniper it does force them to
8817s back up a little bit but moving fish is
8819s really trying to find a way in here
8821s immediately has to go out and whis that
8822s rail gun shot finds moving fish and NYL
8825s Embers that should mean that they lose
8827s the first capture of this robot and
8829s indeed they do Timeless etheral forcing
8831s them back onto that high ground and
8833s retreating I mean and you have a lot of
8835s healing on the side of nyxl Embers right
8836s with this with this Kido anacom but it
8838s doesn't really amount to much if you
8840s can't losos your Winston and if he just
8842s gets bursted down all too quickly so I
8844s mean you just pressure the enemy
8845s supports and suddenly this Winston is
8847s very very vulnerable especially without
8848s a bubble the jump actually going to be
8850s forced out as well and with no bubble no
8851s jump for the time being booing fish is
8853s just kind of stuck
8855s here yeah I'm curious that they ever
8857s break out the doomfist version of this
8860s dive composition but HQ taking down
8862s sniper that's an excellent start and now
8865s they need to find bun alongside it there
8867s is the immortality field and the anti
8869s even in the ice block what are you going
8871s to do M should come out very quickly and
8874s just go down and that's the power of The
8876s High Ground right you have X10 and you
8878s have the supports just up on The High
8879s Ground with moving fish and H key being
8881s the pressure on the front line it's so
8883s difficult for Timeless ethereal to find
8885s any way to try and crack that and that's
8886s actually going to force a couple of
8887s swaps the Tracer might be able to you
8889s know circumvent around go on a flank
8891s maybe put a little bit of pressure there
8893s but you're also going to have to play to
8895s try and hold this particular High Ground
8896s here as well and if your nyxl Embers you
8899s got the Nano you almost have the blade
8900s you can even put the Nano into moving
8902s fish you have a way to break this
8904s hole oh okay and whis just Falls X10
8908s hiding behind that little tiny Corner
8910s the antibiotic nade is so good now the
8913s anti oh my gosh the immortality field
8915s comes through the gravitic flux from
8917s sniper to try and save things but it
8919s does nothing now Z slowly falling after
8923s with X10 shots this Hanzo pick is
8925s excellent so far that that Sigma flux
8928s there is is just so bad there's like
8930s again you already lost whips there's no
8932s follow-up damage I don't know why sniper
8935s opted to pull the trigger on that one
8936s but they're definitely going to wish
8937s that they had that one back cuz nyxl
8939s Embers have now broken past this High
8941s Ground hold and have taken up residence
8942s on the bridge and they did it with only
8944s a nano which means now they have the
8945s katsune rush to make even more
8948s progress yeah boru is just able to get
8951s so much forward positioning with the
8953s help of the ksun rush bun is trying to
8954s get a little bit of extra damage onto
8956s the curo but kuo is so slippery now with
8959s the dragon strike forcing even more
8961s positioning there's no way for them to
8962s get sight lines onto this bot there is
8965s basically no contention here they've
8966s already gotten that first checkpoint and
8968s now the butt stack does come through so
8970s wi is given a bit of free reign to do
8972s their thing and find that damage onto
8974s anun but okay buns comes in with the
8977s pick onto H and that flips the point but
8979s you got the scratch and that's really
8981s all you need if you're nyxl emers that
8983s end alone could be a win condition and
8984s could be the deciding factor because now
8986s as the bot swings back over nyxl Embers
8989s will have The High Ground advantage and
8990s sure time e the will have SS to try and
8992s contest it but you don't really have
8994s that like big bang ultimate that like a
8996s gravitic flux would be you have a pulse
8998s bomb and you know Bun's lurking she's
9000s going to be looking for someone to
9001s attach it to but if it goes wide or if
9003s it you know doesn't get the right target
9005s it might not be enough it's going to go
9007s on to anun it's good all right Timeless
9009s ethereal they have a way in now can they
9012s capitalize on this lack of healing on
9014s the side of nyxl Embers cuz the forward
9016s pressure is still there
9017s I mean the cury coast can still output
9020s that kind of healing into this next
9022s fight but not quite as much as anun and
9024s they're really trying to capitalize off
9026s the anti-at as well so without them it's
9028s going to be more difficult for NYX
9030s Embers to follow up and find picks
9031s there's the gravitic luux now onto a few
9033s of the players but the suzu is good
9035s doesn't do any damage and the biotic
9037s nade comes through as well doesn't quite
9039s land the purple though as they are
9041s headed under the bridge this High Ground
9044s X10 should have free rain over the top
9046s of it but it seems like they're so far
9049s they are unable to stop the bot from
9051s pushing forward never mind they flip it
9053s over sniper takes down H key so the
9055s Nano's going to go out onto moving fish
9056s but with the katun rush as well that
9058s overhal from Halo that's going to be
9060s gone and so is sniper n yxl Embers they
9063s utilize The High Ground Advantage build
9064s an ult advantage and they take it right
9067s back nyxl Embers they have that bot in
9071s their control once again bun looking for
9074s the damage onto the back line just gets
9076s punched in the face by for you and has
9078s to retreat a little bit further while
9080s wisps is looking for the damage onto
9081s moving fish but has to power slide right
9083s out the anti comes in a little late bun
9086s once again has the pulse bomb and again
9087s she's going to be looking for anun is
9090s she going to be able to find I mean
9091s she's already been pressured out by puu
9092s a little bit so she's going to have to
9093s go extremely wide and that's going to
9095s take time for ESS ethereal to be able to
9097s go in you know she's going to have to
9098s just chill out there until they're all
9100s set up once they're in position to where
9102s this pulse bomb can actually find Value
9104s poru is not going to let it poru just
9106s goes back and use the
9108s pressure yeah and it just feels like oh
9111s ESS ethereal that that's a good pick
9113s onto HQ once again that Dragon Blade not
9115s finding any kind of value here and
9117s that's just an ultimate down the drain
9119s but they still have the brother of the
9120s Genji as well as a monkey in their
9123s pocket and that's the Primal Rage to
9124s find Wiis and sniper just Goomba
9127s stomping right on top of the sigma's
9129s head and leading that robot right back
9131s to their wall and that kind of just
9133s comes down to PO you being able to
9135s pressure out bun the pulse bomb that
9136s comes through in fact the damage can't
9138s even come through the supports don't
9140s ever have to worry you know onion can
9142s sit pretty continue to pocket moving
9143s fish moving fish can get an even bigger
9145s value kill in zman and then come through
9148s with the Primal Rage follow it up
9150s translate it into a fight win and now
9152s they can continue on the cart progress
9154s and honestly nyxl Embers don't have to
9156s make a lot of progress here and that's
9159s just as well cuz they're not going to be
9160s able to without without that poor you H
9163s key but with a huge P spawn there but
9165s the bot still has to go so far to even
9167s match the progress that nyxl Embers
9169s have yeah buns uh buns pulse bombs have
9172s been very good this map thus far always
9174s getting the stick always getting some
9176s kind of value from it and but in this
9178s case it really just slows nyxl Embers
9180s down because on push Maps it's really
9182s about who's getting that early advantage
9184s and if you don't have it then you have
9185s to work twice as hard to try and get a
9188s win out of it well I mean this this
9191s Advantage from The High Ground is
9192s everything right now gravitic flux going
9193s to be coming out to try and break up and
9195s moving fishes in the backline pumping
9197s out the pressure and with the Nano as
9199s well allowing moving fish to stay for a
9202s little bit longer there's the anti on to
9204s whisp as the overclock comes out you
9205s don't really want to be in with sight
9207s lines and H key does fall X10 has that
9211s dragon in the back pocket but moving
9213s fish going down is going to be tough for
9216s nyxl Embers to find a good place to eat
9218s it oh a good sleep though biotic n no no
9221s followup there Halo however does fall I
9224s mean and this might actually give
9225s Timeless ethereal if it might actually
9227s give nyxl Embers already the opportunity
9228s to go and contest before the butt
9229s scratch they do send H ke to do just
9231s that Dragon strike and the consun rush
9233s coming out nyxl Embers don't want to
9235s give this up yeah they do not want to
9238s allow them to get the point but the butt
9239s scratch is there they able to take get
9241s the checkpoint but nyxl Embers
9243s eventually
9244s does roll over the rest of time with
9247s ethereal despite getting a checkpoint
9249s however the forward spawn is still going
9251s to see something that they have to worry
9252s about and even more so the fact that
9255s that was a very costly hold there they
9257s don't have a whole lot of bols left to
9258s try and keep this pressure up we're
9259s going to something fairly neutral here
9261s where a Halo sound Bearer or a bun pulse
9263s bomb can put it all to bed again for you
9266s has to have you got to have your head on
9267s a swivel right cuz that that Tracer
9269s could be lurking anywhere and once she
9271s has the pulse bomb she is very much so a
9273s threat one that's going to have Anna's
9275s name on
9277s it yeah anun needs to walk their back
9280s here Halo going around with the sound
9282s barrier with the beat looking to take
9283s down for you or to find something on and
9286s they have two ultimates in the pocket
9288s but moving fish getting their health
9290s taken down very quickly might want to
9292s force out the Primal Rage here and
9294s Timeless etheral are able to do so now
9296s without that ultimate but still getting
9298s a lot of pressure onto this backline
9300s Halo keeping team up from the back and
9303s that beat just in case they need an
9305s ambulance I I really like where she's
9307s playing because yeah she's holding on to
9308s that beat and she knows that HQ has that
9310s blade she has to be ready to pop that
9312s when H goes in but now that H's been
9313s dealt with she can hold on to it forever
9316s yeah anun falling because the gravity
9319s graviton surge in just a little tiny
9321s room where they had nowhere to go and
9323s the team kill for Timeless ethereal they
9325s are catching up at a break neck Pace
9328s nyxl Embers they have barely been able
9330s to push for the last 2 minutes and with
9332s less than a minute left over and
9334s Timeless ethereal now able to push past
9337s progress they are in the lead it's all
9340s going to come down to this fight nyxl
9341s Embers they have to win this one and
9343s then they're going to have to win at
9344s least another one to try and get it they
9345s can't lose moving fish early the suzu
9347s actually gets forced out here ht's going
9349s to go in with the blade but the beats in
9351s the response and so is the
9353s accretion yeah HQ can't deflect The Rock
9356s apparently and now poru has the kitsun
9358s rush to perhaps Force this fight forward
9360s and there's an anti onto a few of the
9362s players of Timeless material but there
9364s is no follow up with h ke down and X10
9368s they this pick initially had so much
9370s value but it seems like it seems to be
9372s falling off without the good angles x 10
9374s falling and Bun has that pulse bomb
9376s looking for a stick fishing for it
9378s before you does take bun down they need
9381s the contention the overtime comes into
9383s play their alts are not in a good state
9386s right now Timeless ethereal they have
9387s that pulse bomb but other than that it
9390s doesn't seem like they have much nyxl
9392s Embers though they don't have much in
9393s the back pocket either but with all the
9395s progress that the bot made Timeless
9396s etheral have bought themselves at least
9398s one more potential fight here and this
9400s one still isn't done so even if they
9401s lose this one which with the death of
9402s sniper it looks like they should they
9404s still have potentially two more fights
9406s to go it's all up here from here for for
9409s nyxl Embers they have to be perfect from
9411s here on out and time is ethereal
9413s realistically speaking can just build up
9415s to a big six-man old bank and just hit
9417s nyxl Embers across the face with it I
9421s what do you do you're going to have to
9422s invest the Nano here maybe try and build
9424s that Primal Rage get some extreme value
9426s out of the dragons and hope to God that
9428s you can build to a dragon blade before
9430s Halo builds up to that sound
9434s barrier hun has that Nan no it's the
9437s Primal Rage that moving fish might be
9439s able to combo with it but bun coming in
9442s doesn't get the stick though apparently
9443s misses and Z goes down that's going to
9446s be a tough one a very tough loss for
9448s Timeless ethereal as whis Falls as well
9450s FN being chased down by the monkey here
9453s while sniper is contesting the point but
9455s it's just sniper going down to hkey now
9457s it seems like they have free reign get
9459s this they're just coming up they need
9461s the mobility they need a touch to come
9464s in the Dragon St yeah it could
9468s completely lock them out they already
9469s have the immortality field cool down
9471s there's the dragon strike to come
9472s through which just shreds through whsp
9474s and now the doomfist come out they're
9476s trying to shred the back line X10 does
9478s fall but still both supports in play and
9481s they need to find a way to keep this
9482s doomfist up just weaving in and around
9485s the wall around this cart they are very
9487s low but the sleep is so good there is no
9489s anti follow up but the doomfist doesn't
9491s have enough to stop anything and with
9494s the blade to come through NYX LM they
9496s should be able to push past and they do
9499s Timeless ethereal they fall just short
9502s NYX L Embers they are forcing themselves
9505s through and now a 22 series there wasn't
9508s enough cart pressure when there needed
9510s to be I mentioned that you Timeless
9512s ethereal they had maybe two more fights
9514s to go but I think that first fight that
9517s they could have taken they didn't put
9518s enough they didn't have enough presence
9520s on the point to try and contest it so so
9522s much bot progress was made for free for
9524s nyxl Embers in the last fight ends up
9527s being a staggered fight one that
9528s Timeless ethereal actually almost win
9531s but it comes down to a sleep Dart onto
9533s sniper if sniper had not been slept in
9536s that moment there would have been enough
9537s damage to kill moving fish and
9539s potentially kill the entire push but
9541s because of that sleep Dart and because
9543s the healing was there because moving
9545s fish lives and the pressure goes forward
9547s you build enough time for X10 to pop
9550s that dragon blade or sorry for HQ to pop
9552s that Dragon Blade you build up enough
9554s time for the rest of the team to a
9556s coales and just brute force it that last
9559s couple of meters through and nyxl Embers
9561s on their map pick they do it they take
9564s us to a map five it was so slim they're
9568s just basically flying by the seat of
9570s their pants at this point now Timeless
9572s ethereal they have the advantage in
9574s picking the map that we go to here on
9576s escort it's between shambali monaster
9579s and Route 66 and I think both of those
9581s can play into the sigma well maybe not
9584s as much as a dive but the upward
9585s Mobility
9586s can definitely be helpful on any map
9588s here I just think that this is such a
9591s good series and nyxl Embers the switch
9594s on to the CUO really was interesting
9596s because I think it was really for that
9598s gravon Surge and ensuring that there
9600s wasn't Damage Done when they were just
9602s slammed back into the ground but and you
9604s as well Landing so many crucial sleeps
9606s when it really mattered and that's the
9608s mark of a great Flex support player
9610s right is not just being able to like hit
9612s hit a number of sleeps it's when you're
9614s hitting those big sleeps it's when
9615s you're hitting those big it's is in the
9617s moments that swing fights and again that
9619s sleep Dart onto sniper that swung the
9621s fight right there it was already very
9622s much in nyxl ember's favor Timeless
9625s ethereal almost snatched it but anun
9627s sing almost single-handedly snatched it
9629s right back I say almost single-handedly
9631s because everybody on the side of nyxl
9633s Embers is playing phenomenally and if
9635s that weren't the case we would not be in
9636s the situation where we are in now where
9638s we are going to see our first map five
9640s we're gonna see escort for the first
9641s time in this tournament and
9643s realistically it could go anybody's way
9646s I kind of feel like you know if you're
9647s Timeless ethereal you want to play
9648s shambali Monastery because it's a little
9650s bit less dive friendly and you kind of
9652s feel like you have the at the advantage
9654s in that Sigma mirror but as the maps all
9656s pop up one by one down here at the lower
9659s part of the screen all the the tension's
9662s killing me what did they choose what is
9664s the map pick here we are just being drum
9668s roll please like just at the very end
9670s let's see it Route 66 66 interesting I
9675s mean okay so 66 a lot of people have
9677s still been leaning heavily into the
9678s sigma composition but I feel like the
9681s streets phase of that one does play very
9683s well into a Winston composition here the
9685s third point though is going to be
9687s heavily heavily Sigma favored so like I
9691s don't really know I don't know what this
9692s means I I think it's I I don't think
9695s it's a bad pick I don't think either of
9696s them would have been a bad pick but this
9698s kind of does make me question like what
9700s are they cooking over on the Timeless
9702s side yeah I mean I think they want to
9706s stick to their guns bun has found value
9708s on the Tracer but I feel like every time
9710s we've seen bun switch over to the Tracer
9712s they've lost because we saw the Tracer
9715s on Midtown we saw the Tracer on uh
9718s coloso and on both of those times they
9721s found value with it I mean they were
9723s able to also back cap a few times as
9725s well and that allowed a little bit more
9729s um a little bit more wiggle room over on
9731s Midtown but other than that I feel like
9733s they've lost but that could also be
9735s lending to the fact that nyxl Embers
9738s know what they're doing when they pick
9739s these Maps I well I it was it was
9742s Timeless ethereals map pick here just
9743s nyxl Embers I mean well I mean you do
9746s bring up a good point like do they know
9747s what they're doing on this map cuz I
9749s don't even know if I know what they're
9750s doing on this map I feel like you know
9752s first couple points on the attacker side
9754s you do maybe want to go for that dive
9755s composition but what does po you play do
9757s we play the bits to try and protect our
9759s Anna or are we getting more value out of
9760s the Kido it feels kind of like you know
9763s we're we're leaning more into that Kiko
9765s for now at least it feels like that's
9767s what they're getting a little bit more
9768s value out of but is that what going to
9770s be what sticks uh one thing that's not
9772s sticking is uh sniper is not sticking
9774s around to see the end of this map up uh
9775s this match here sniper is actually going
9777s to be swapped out for sa Hill and I
9779s think that kind of tells me what I need
9781s to know here cuz sa Hill is more of
9784s their main tank player you you sub sa
9786s Hill in to play like the doomfist or to
9788s play the uh to play the Winston so I
9790s think and I like don't quote me on this
9793s but I think this means that Timeless
9794s ethereal want to match Dives what are
9798s they cooking and I mean if it's the
9800s doomfist or the Winston we talked a
9803s little bit about the Winston and the
9804s doomfist matchup and how Winston can
9806s kind of bubble your supports to protect
9808s from the dive and just shred through
9809s that doomfist but if it's Winston
9812s matchup then I think is really on the
9813s DPS is you see hkey playing a lot of the
9816s Genji does whis switch onto the Genji
9819s does buns play the Genji or some other
9822s dive Centric hero I feel like bun might
9824s be playing on the Tracer I I I do also
9826s think by the way that if you do have ESS
9828s a the you'll go onto a dive composition
9830s or you can't really play the Kido
9832s anymore I think you kind of need to have
9834s you know your other support be playing
9836s the Bita to try and protect anun because
9838s you need to keep your Anna alive because
9839s your Anna needs to keep your tank alive
9841s because your tank needs to keep the
9842s whole damn fight alive and if you can't
9844s do any of those steps if if the wheels
9846s fall off anywhere you end up blowing the
9848s whole fight there you can't be having
9850s that so this might be just trying to
9851s force them off the kico it might be
9853s because this is just what they've
9854s practiced on this map who knows if it's
9857s just they feel more confident with saw
9859s Hill coming in I have my concerns though
9862s about you know a map five sub I I I I
9864s feel like this does put a lot of
9866s pressure on to saw Hill to perform to
9868s show why we're seeing this swap happen
9870s what is the justification again yeah
9872s what what are they cooking on the
9873s Timeless ethereal side and if you like
9876s you you have to perform right you have
9877s to close it out here that's a lot of
9879s pressure how is saw Hill going to tackle
9881s that
9882s pressure yeah and it's also the fact
9884s that who is going to start on the
9886s defense because if you have nyxl Embers
9888s starting on the defense and they decide
9890s to come out the bat with the CUO it's
9892s going to be a lot harder for them to go
9895s around and switch back to the Bita if
9896s they see a dive composition coming out
9899s would you believe that even after this
9900s map we still have two more matches to
9902s play today would you would you believe
9904s that I I mean it's not going to be us
9906s we're going to we're going to you know
9907s send it over to another another casting
9909s Duo foreshadowing but I mean you know
9911s for those of us in the chat and those of
9913s us who love to see some good OverWatch
9914s we're being we're being spoiled by this
9916s series and the fact that there are two
9918s more Banger games that could potentially
9920s be coming up right after this one we
9922s have a lot of unanswered questions and
9925s as we get even deeper into the
9926s tournament even if we get the answers to
9928s some of those questions we might end up
9930s with more questions down the line you
9932s know imagine a world where nyxl Embers
9935s do in fact take this what does that say
9937s about Timeless ethereal dropping two SE
9939s or dropping to two different teams you
9941s know they they go from being potentially
9943s the the top the top team to maybe
9945s falling to number three does someone
9947s overtake them in the circuit points does
9949s does somebody is will there be a new
9952s king yeah the I mean dominance is a
9954s blessing and a curse because the more
9956s dominant are you are the more maps you
9958s play the more VOD review material there
9960s is you can pick out what each player's
9962s weaknesses are you can pick out their
9964s patterns what they like to do and then
9966s it becomes easier to figure out ways to
9968s find cracks in the armor to counter them
9970s and I think that uh you are seeing a lot
9973s of that from Timeless as well because
9975s they have sucked together for such a
9977s long time and because they have so much
9979s material on what their strategies are
9982s how they like to play and this meta the
9984s sigma meta they are trying to it plays
9986s into their hands because they have such
9988s good players that lend itself to this
9990s kind of to this play style but they are
9994s still getting beat by a dive you do
9997s mention like yeah they they have a lot
9998s of tools in their toolbox du Timeless
10000s ethereal and you know I I'll go ahead
10002s and acknowledge the elephant in the room
10003s chat that was a very long pause we were
10005s kind of waiting for a ready up I imagine
10007s you know Timeless ethereal were going
10008s through all of their tools trying to see
10010s exactly what was going to be the best
10012s fit discussing some strategy discussing
10013s all of their uh all the various things
10015s that they can play if you're putting saw
10017s Hill in for this last this last Point
10019s here you want to make sure everybody is
10021s on board with the plan because there are
10023s going to be no doovers there are going
10025s to be no Second Chances up here in the
10028s upper bracket it's either win or you go
10030s down to the lower bracket and you don't
10033s want to have your back up against the
10034s wall trying to make a trying to make a
10036s lower bracket run just to get yourself
10037s back to the finals just to get yourself
10038s the Champs when you are a team as as
10041s historically dominant as Timeless
10043s ethereal yeah nyxl Embers so they're
10045s starting on the defense and they're
10047s coming out with a CUO and this is
10048s something we mentioned if saw Hill's
10050s playing the Winston if what we're being
10051s teased right now by Timeless ethereal is
10053s what they're actually playing then it's
10055s going to be really difficult for Anan to
10057s stay alive and poru really needs to find
10059s some ways to peel for anun as soon as
10061s that dive comes through especially with
10063s the echo to be able to come over top and
10065s follow up so well it does appear though
10067s that I was correct you know subbing saw
10069s Hill in does mean that they are going to
10071s mirror the Winston but how much practice
10073s has Timeless ethereal gotten on this
10074s composition because I only know of a
10076s couple of teams that have occasionally
10078s busted this Wiston composition out one
10080s of them being and yxl Embers the other
10083s we have yet to see you know busted out
10084s on the stage too too much how are ESS
10087s ethero going to play this well I mean to
10089s start off with not very well well saw
10091s Hill going down early is definitely
10093s devastating blow but you know four
10095s minutes for that four point captured
10097s they're just getting into the swing of
10098s things they're breaking into the shoes
10100s and honestly it when all is said and all
10102s is done OverWatch fans are being fed
10105s well today both by Chipotle and this
10107s series now the anti onto saw Hill to try
10109s and get things started not quite a pick
10111s this time around so he'll knows to
10113s retreat but otherwise very well done
10116s that's a great Whip Shop there onto Halo
10118s though there was a sleep from anun that
10119s came out onto saw Hill to try and keep
10120s herself alive but I mean while she was
10122s looking that way no one was looking at
10123s hkey that whip shot cleans it up up and
10125s ESS ethereal that's their way in they
10127s can start to try and make a little bit
10129s more progress here they're taking some
10131s Ford presence here trying to capture big
10133s Earls for themselves but the cart is
10134s going to be moving slowly I believe not
10136s even around that first Corner yet
10137s actually just now rounding it saw Hill
10139s gets hit with a bigade has to pop the
10141s bubble just to stay
10142s alive yeah and now backing up regrouping
10145s with the supports for a little bit of
10146s that extra sustain and now knocking whsp
10150s off The High Ground as well there's a
10152s lot of High Ground Control from this
10153s Timeless ethereal Squad with the bun and
10156s Wiis combo and X10 might have a little
10158s bit more trouble dealing with the flyer
10160s and the echo I mean but we're seeing the
10163s the advantage of playing as far forward
10164s as nyxl Embers did they're going to go
10166s ahead and get that early that early
10168s second contest there but with the nanab
10170s Boost onto saw Hill oh all right yeah no
10173s that's a huge nade that just denies that
10175s entire ult right there and you can see
10177s nyxl Ember just continuing to charge
10178s forward they know they have the ball in
10180s their Court the early pick off and all
10181s the pressure yeah I mean z completely
10184s loses out on that boost saw Hill can't
10186s build up to the Primal Rage nyxl Embers
10189s completely dry without expending a
10191s single ultimate have still held the the
10193s the cart here around this first Corner
10195s time as ethereal just can't seem to find
10197s a way in there don't appear to be any
10199s cracks in nyxl ember's armor right now
10202s yeah the I mean the Sleep anti combo
10204s from anun Saw Hill there was really
10206s nothing to be done there and then just
10208s shredded chased down by moving fish now
10210s starting the dive once again but it's
10211s not started off the back of the Nano
10213s it's just saw Hill going in dry with the
10215s now you see the Nano has gone onto Z but
10218s it's moving fish with right clicks that
10220s finds whsp and knocks them off The High
10222s Ground 99% to be overclocked by the way
10224s so this fight is not looking to be a
10226s great one saw hill using that Primal
10229s Rage to try and keep themselves alive
10231s and still charging onto moving fish but
10233s now the regroup comes through however
10235s they are able to save off the pressure
10237s and they have to back off I mean the
10239s fight's not quite over yet but I want to
10240s give props the moving fish who had so
10242s much faith in their supports that they
10243s knew that once that anti-heal wore off
10245s that they would get the healing they
10246s needed to stay alive it wasn't quite
10248s enough because the pressure from the
10250s duplicate and from Saw Hill's Primal
10252s Rage coming out from times ethereal is
10253s going to keep pushing the cart forward
10255s nyxl Embers it looks like they do have
10257s hkey in position to go for a contest so
10259s they might be able to go for it here oh
10261s is she going to get pressured out she
10262s does get the touch but is she going to
10264s stay alive for long no the bubble comes
10267s in just a second too late whis this able
10269s to shred through hq's health and now
10271s anion has to find a way to stay alive
10273s but after missing that sleep it's not
10276s going to be in the cars however sleep
10279s onto sleep onto saw Hill instead but
10282s Halo with a Whip Shop on to X10 they are
10284s able to get the T now the hold might not
10286s be in the cards and in fact the entire
10287s house of cards seems to have crumbled
10289s cuz nyxl Embers they invested a lot into
10291s that fight and that's a late kill onto
10293s moving fish right there look at all the
10294s positioning that Timeless ethereal can
10296s take essentially for free without that
10298s other monkey trying to trying to keep it
10300s for themselves you know they're going to
10301s be able to take this High Ground on top
10303s of the saloon have sights over this
10305s choke you can even set zman up over on
10307s the far left side up on The High Ground
10309s to go for a big setup when nyxl Embers
10311s inevitably come through this little
10313s Tunnel right here and the emers only
10315s have this dragon blade from from H ke
10318s how does she go in on this especially
10319s when you have a rally and a nano and
10321s everything you can ever want on the
10322s other side except for a tank to hold it
10324s all together yeah I mean this Echo is
10328s doing a lot of damage from over top but
10330s without the sustain onto saw Hill whisp
10332s however taking out the overlock is just
10334s going to make up for lost time with his
10336s rail gun xan where are you supposed to
10339s go eeko being the bane of existence of
10341s basically everyone but especially the
10342s tanks with the help of the focusing fire
10345s and just shredding through the purple
10346s health I the good news is because you
10348s kill sill there you do Force Timeless
10350s with eal to expend a couple ults you
10351s know no longer having that overclock no
10353s longer having that Nano but they still
10355s have plenty I mean it it's pretty even
10357s match now you're going to want to look
10359s to try and make some value out of this
10360s nanoade if you can even find a way in
10362s moving fish has to go in for the touch
10364s but already just melted down yeah it's
10367s that focusing fire once again now using
10370s the Dragon Blade to come through Z does
10372s go down immediately a little bit stunned
10374s by The Shield bash but HQ after finding
10376s Z should be able to get a lot of
10378s pressure for nyxl Embers for you now
10381s headed up with the brigita it's going to
10383s be Bun's own dragon blade but it is
10385s immediately pressured out with the whip
10388s shots from the from po you and able to
10391s back them off of the objective so so
10393s moving fish does kind of like aneous
10395s combust there as soon as they touch the
10396s point but they buy just enough time to
10398s get that nanoade off and they get the
10399s only kill that matters and that's the
10401s one onto the Anna no more ability to
10403s sustain the entire fight and even though
10405s you know the rest of it gets kind of
10406s grief The Shield bash comes through to
10407s stop the bleeding a little bit from time
10409s ethereal they already had lost a crucial
10411s Limb and now nyxl Embers they've got
10413s their heals dug in we're under a minute
10416s they can try and stagger this out X10
10418s has a pulse bomb where's it going to go
10421s oh looking for the brigita but has to go
10423s up onto the other High ground retreating
10426s with all the health that goes down and H
10428s key also falling and that's just going
10429s to be Domino's for nyxl Embers Timeless
10432s theal they topple them they're able to
10434s get that final point and now like you
10436s said this is a sigma Centric point but
10439s it seems like both of them are going to
10440s stick to the dive here I I I think with
10442s that pulse Spa that uh that X10 had
10444s there you kind of needed to get either
10446s Halo or Z out of the picture there but
10447s they blink in see Halo with the shield
10449s up just have the fear of God put in them
10451s and have to recall out they end up
10453s sticking it on top the saw Hill it
10454s doesn't really work out cuz it just
10456s doesn't do nearly enough damage and
10458s Timeless ethereal they have the damage
10460s you know they got all the damage they
10461s could ever want they get to keep their
10462s supports alive Zill is getting pretty
10465s close to death there X10 cleans it
10467s up yeah and now whis being pressured off
10470s The High Ground but anion going down
10471s early is devastating for nyxl Emperor's
10474s hold they have the Nano in the Timeless
10476s Cals tool kit but X10 does take down
10479s Halo it stalls out their push a little
10481s bit more more as Sal pill is attempting
10484s to get get back in position onto the
10486s payload moving fish dancing around and
10488s has to regroup with the supports and now
10490s the overclock ready for whisp I like the
10493s the Hanzo swap from X10 the one shot
10495s potential is definitely going to make
10496s Timeless ethereal sweat but you know
10498s they can wipe that sweat off their brow
10499s and flick it right back in the direction
10501s of nyxl Embers the Nano overclock going
10503s to come out going to force out the
10505s Primal Rage from moving fish and moving
10507s fish going to move zman away from the
10509s fight
10510s entirely yeah overclock does trade X10
10513s but I mean you really want that support
10515s in this fight now pressuring a lot with
10517s the Tesla Cannon moving fish eventually
10519s does fall however bun from overhead now
10521s using the duplicate into the Genji and
10524s almost getting the blade but not quite
10526s it's a bit of force positioning from the
10528s dragon but with the rally they're able
10530s to get that full capture nyxl Embers
10533s they were just too staggered in that
10535s last fight so much Focus from moving
10536s fish onto the support onto zman to try
10539s and get them out of the fight but in the
10541s end of the day the rest of the team was
10543s just getting pressured and toppled and
10546s let's talk about moving fish right cuz I
10548s mentioned that late stagger onto moving
10550s fish after Timeless ethereal had
10551s captured the first point there I think
10553s the snowball that came out from that was
10555s what ended up you know essentially
10558s screwing nyxl Embers over because they
10560s never really felt like they were in
10561s control of point B that's where if
10563s you're playing a dive comp you want to
10565s have the advantage but they just never
10567s seemed to get it they never had the
10569s space to operate with and the one you
10571s know couple fights that they did they
10573s had to win it off of old and the old
10575s cycling for the side of Timeless
10576s ethereal was just better top to bottom
10578s they never invested more than they had
10579s to and they always had something to go
10582s for the next fight whether it was a win
10583s whether it was a loss there was always
10585s going to be a plan B whereas nyxl Embers
10588s they were already operating on plan Z
10591s they just kind of run out of options at
10592s that point in time right like and the
10594s fact that Timeless ethereal cap at all
10596s on escort is massive that gets really
10598s scary for nyxl emers because it means if
10600s they want to win this series which you
10603s know theyve put in so much work to put
10604s put themselves in the position to win if
10606s they want to win this series it's got to
10608s go to extra endings and even that isn't
10610s a
10612s guarantee yeah 25 seconds left over for
10615s Timeless ethereal no adjustments just
10618s yet from either
10620s side I mean this Echo feels like it's
10623s been a problem thus far for Timeless
10625s atherial but XM taken down whp I guess
10628s no problem no sweat we're just going to
10630s wipe off the brow and clean off whatever
10633s happened in that last round start over
10635s good first pick and sill gets uh the
10638s health pretty low bun from overhead
10640s though once again X10 going down anion's
10643s going to be the one that deals with the
10644s echo overhead while moving fish is
10646s trying to pressure out the sports from
10648s getting the sa onto sill and something
10651s interesting by the way is that Timeless
10652s ethereal didn't go for the spawn hold so
10654s while this fight is going they have to
10656s try and win it here and you know NY lers
10659s get all this cart progress essentially
10660s for free even though they don't win the
10662s fight yeah they're going to back out
10663s vacate the premises entirely but they
10665s essentially got where you know it took
10667s time ethereal like a full minute to even
10669s get to bun falling to x 10 once again
10673s saw Hill just dancing around the corner
10675s and the cart is going to go backwards a
10678s little bit but nyxl Embers they're here
10680s for the re-engage they're trying to
10682s shred through the health of moving fish
10684s and actually not doing much here as H ke
10686s comes in just in time now theano onto
10689s saw Hill as the Primal Rage comes
10690s through zman finds pooru and anion is
10693s left pretty V able because of it but
10695s just one support is enough for them saw
10697s Hill doesn't get too greedy until the
10699s Primal Rage comes up and Yun has nowhere
10702s to go and x0 just gets stomped on and
10706s that's just coming down to some good
10707s oldfashioned Blue Collar support play
10709s from Z it's not it ain't much but it's
10711s honest work you just continue to hang
10713s back stay alive pumping the heels onto
10715s your Winston and hey ho what do you know
10717s suddenly we get the first Nano boost we
10719s go in with that we build up the first
10720s Primal we convert that into our first
10722s fight win excellent play from Z but nyxl
10724s ERS weren't forced to mash the Q buttons
10726s just yet they're going to have something
10728s to say about this one and it might just
10729s be a nano winon of their own or maybe if
10731s they play slow and Nano
10734s blade bun already having duplicate on
10737s the other side but not much more than
10739s that using the dragon to contest The
10741s High Ground as H ke goes up the blade
10744s almost ready but the duplicate
10746s immediately going through now
10747s duplicating the Anna bun takes down
10749s anion and they have to rely on the rally
10751s which has been mashing the Q keys to get
10753s them through and there's the Primal Rage
10756s as well finding zman and finally Halo
10759s falling now they should be able to get
10761s the capture there's so much pressure
10763s that they put in down onto anun just to
10764s try and get her out of the picture and
10766s sure they do and she's not even able to
10767s pop the Nano but they you know they sent
10769s saw Hill all the way in with the bubble
10771s on top they sent bun in to use the
10773s duplicate just to try and get that
10774s pressure out even just to avoid the
10775s Sleep Dart that came out and it was all
10777s for not because at the end of the day
10779s their backline was the one that was
10781s truly suffering and you know NYL Embers
10783s they capitalized moving fish is getting
10784s caught out in an island here though
10786s they're just going to get melted there
10787s that's a little bit of a feed there
10789s nanoade going to come out though
10792s nanoblade finding Halo looking for more
10795s finding Dem oh the SE fle sleep we love
10798s those plays we love to see them every
10800s single time and yep climbing up you're
10802s in danger Anna I don't have anywhere to
10804s go and they're able to topple them over
10807s despite moving fish having that early
10808s stagger pick now nyxl Embers they have a
10811s good momentum moving forward but not a
10814s lot of Al in the bank Timeless ethereal
10816s on the other side they've got two and
10818s they seem to be building up halo swaps
10821s off I mean she did use the she did use
10823s the rally she swaps to the Lucio I think
10824s to maybe try and get back to the fight
10825s quickly but she's going to swap back
10827s over onto the briza here early Dragon
10829s strike going to come out from X10 that's
10831s going to lock the rest of time with in
10833s that little Cavern there and saw Hill is
10835s suddenly on an island by themselves now
10837s yeah saw Hill doesn't really have places
10839s to go but whis taking down anion an HP
10842s just going to follow sahill with a
10844s really nice start and the overclock
10846s finish things off and Timeless ethereal
10848s they are able to team kill and and again
10851s that just kind of comes down to having
10852s faith in your supports having faith in
10853s your team to back you up as soon as it
10855s all as soon as the doors open as soon as
10858s we don't no longer have to worry about
10859s that Dragon strike just erasing us from
10862s existence once we can come out of that
10863s Cavern to support our Winston hey saw
10865s Hills got the Primal Rage now they were
10867s able to live long enough bleed out some
10869s of the ult from nyxl Embers and take a
10871s forward position here where nyxl Embers
10873s are going to struggle to even get their
10874s hands on the cart again yeah sill has to
10877s retreat however after the anti goes
10880s through the bu will now down and FN with
10882s a second Winston on the map x 10 goes
10885s down Anan how are you going to survive
10887s this one has the anti to come through
10889s from Zan in the back line and Bun now
10891s with the Primal Rage it is just
10894s excellent Al cycling from time with
10896s etherial two ultimates used and a
10898s decisive Fight Win under two minutes
10901s left over and and more importantly they
10903s kill P you before the of the rally ends
10904s up becoming a factor as well so I mean
10906s time the theal their old bank is looking
10908s pretty dry right now but they're still
10910s able to buy time off the clock get a
10911s Fight Win there because they take that
10913s potentially fight winning defensive
10914s ultimate off the field now though as it
10917s starts to mount up for nyxl Embers when
10919s anun build this Nano boost what's the
10921s response going to be never mind just a
10923s big nade and all the follow up the
10925s sticky bombs no response needed we're
10927s not even to give you a chance to get a
10928s word in edge rise as a matter of fact
10930s yeah bun has been a problem for yl
10934s Embers on this Echo thus far on Route 66
10937s I mean that first point was pretty
10939s Speedy but now the second one and it's
10941s starting to get really dicey moving fish
10943s taken down with 2% left to build up to
10945s the Primal Rage it might be time for
10947s nyxl Embers to smash Q buttons but oh
10950s nice from that could be a really really
10952s big pickoff there especially with nyxl
10954s Embers about to have five ultimates but
10955s Timeless ethereal have bought themselves
10957s time to catch up they're going to have
10958s an overclock a nano and a rally suit of
10960s their own so NYL Embers have to act fast
10963s they have to try and smash that q key
10965s right the heck now or try and get
10967s another pickoff here Nano going to come
10969s out onto HQ but she doesn't quite have
10970s the blade yet now she does but the rally
10972s is there still able to take down one at
10976s the very least Z does fall bun as well
10980s right after the rally does come through
10981s to keep Halo themselves alive and find
10984s HP but now with the anti it should be a
10986s team kill a little bit staggered from
10989s Timeless theal as they pick up the
10991s second Point coru still Diamond hands on
10994s that rally it hasn't been forced out yet
10996s the Nano rally was forced out just to
10998s try and keep the backline alive through
11000s that nanoade but it wasn't enough Halo
11002s once again swapping over to Lucio and
11004s then back over onto the Bita I I think
11007s she's feeling like you know she trying
11008s kind of has to make a play right now
11010s she's trying to make these swaps because
11012s she feels a little bit behind the
11013s eightball nyxl Embers are starting to
11015s melt the pressure they still have some
11016s ult they can clear some space with this
11017s Dragon strike if they decide to go for
11019s but the nade might just shut it down
11022s yeah the anti completely shut down that
11024s push and was able to take down so much
11026s of the back line an un following with
11028s the overclock and now they're building
11030s up to the Primal as well as the
11032s duplicate Timeless Imperial they are
11034s being very disciplined with the way
11035s they're using these ultimates and it's
11038s only one minute left for nyxl Embers to
11040s try and cap here and this is so so
11042s difficult especially with the dive
11043s composition CU it's very narrow you're
11045s not really going to get an opportunity
11046s to contest High Ground very very well
11048s that said times ethereal they already
11050s hold The High Ground they can jump right
11051s on top of them and they're going to do
11053s just that coming right on top of the
11054s backline and you under so much pressure
11056s but she lives yes saw Hill just
11059s overextended and completely shredded
11061s through that huge health bar bun forced
11063s out and X10 taken down the echo now able
11066s to get the cart progress anti should be
11069s doing a lot but X10 stays alive through
11071s it all whis going over the top with the
11073s power slide but the whip shot
11075s neutralizes And Trades Back Revenge for
11077s x0 getting shredded by that sojourn now
11080s with only under 20 seconds left over
11084s this is going to be an overtime push
11085s this is so difficult for nxl Embers
11088s that's a great little micro play there
11090s from whs to go for the power slide there
11091s take out X10 forcing the swap onto the
11093s Widowmaker and even dying on cart just
11095s to get that extra little bit of meterage
11097s in nyxl ember's favors the overtime Wick
11099s is about to come up and with a Reaper on
11101s the field now moving fish might not be
11103s able to build up to anything
11105s substantial yeah this is the blade now
11108s coming out from HQ looking for a pick
11110s but doesn't find anything just here to
11112s contest the cart and WRA around and now
11114s you know the reaper is coming through b
11116s that doesn't have an ultimate but saw
11118s Hill is just jumping onto X and Diving
11120s onto that Widow that overtime Fades away
11123s Timeless ethereal they are able to get
11127s nyxl Embers to stop the push they stop
11131s the bleeding and are able to take it 3
11133s to two and it's back and forth from the
11136s top of the series all the way to the
11138s bottom of it from Samoa all the way out
11140s here to Route 66 it was blow for blow
11142s map for map one for one but because of
11145s that early that early win on Samoa and
11148s because of the early pickoffs here
11149s because of just the way that time is
11152s ethereal able to play on this map pick
11154s of Route 66 they are still just that
11157s much further ahead of nyxl Embers who
11160s will be going down to the lower bracket
11162s and I feel very confident in saying that
11164s this was potentially one of the closest
11166s matches we're going to see all day
11168s potentially all tournament long and I
11170s feel very confident in saying that the
11172s Difference Maker was just the sheer
11175s skill of individual Talent on the side
11177s of time ethereal the big plays made by
11179s players like Halo or by wisps or by bun
11182s in some of those clutch moments drops as
11184s well to saw Hill I mentioned how much
11186s pressure they were going to be under
11187s coming in for a map five and needing a
11189s guaranteed Victory well pressure makes
11191s diamonds and pressure might very well
11194s make a championship out of this team yet
11198s again they are able to clutch this one
11202s out at the very last second second and I
11204s mean this was incredibly close Timeless
11207s ethereal this is not the dominance that
11209s they knew for so long this is definitely
11212s just so much contention everywhere they
11214s turn first from Michael wave now from
11216s nyxl Embers sure they win this one out
11219s but the you're usually so much more
11221s dominant it's usually three O's two o's
11223s you never see them drop Maps like this
11226s and even on the maps that they are
11227s playing it's not really that close it
11230s feels like they're just running over
11231s some little kindergartener kids but nyxl
11234s Embers they put up such a good fight and
11236s I feel confident in saying that we
11238s probably are going to see nyxl Embers
11240s once again almost definitely I this
11243s didn't necessarily feel like they were
11244s running over kindergarteners I would say
11245s nyxl Embers were at least sixth graders
11248s in this uh in this sense right here at
11250s least I I'd probably even put them up as
11252s being you know fullon high schoolers
11253s here I think it felt a lot more close
11255s than that right yeah aside from Samoa
11258s and I think that's going to come back to
11260s bite you if you're nyxl Embers but you
11262s know for Timeless ethereal in the past
11264s they've shown dominance but in this
11266s tournament they can no longer
11267s realistically show that because there
11269s are other Challengers like Michael wave
11271s or like nyxl Embers that can push them
11273s to the limit so they have to show us
11274s something else and today they have
11276s they've shown us clutch Factor they've
11278s shown us tenacity they have shown
11280s calmness under pressure and the ability
11282s to adapt and that I think is what might
11285s carry them to yet another championship
11288s but it doesn't get any easier from here
11290s because there's the lower bracket you
11291s might see nyxl Embers come back to bite
11293s you yet again you might see a team like
11295s drainers shape up you might see
11297s Vancouver Titans blue show you know more
11299s than we expect out of them we might see
11301s them compete an underdog sword we might
11303s see Fable be the dark horses here and
11305s they're still the threat of Michael wave
11308s and that disastrous doomfist composition
11310s that they can do just throw a wrench
11312s into any equation you might have
11314s congratulations to Timeless ethereal and
11316s I know they are up for the challenge but
11318s a challenge it shall be and we are going
11321s to see who that MVP is for this amazing
11326s best of five all five Maps they went the
11328s distance after this very quick break see
11331s you
11349s [Music]
11352s then
11354s [Music]
11377s [Music]
11399s [Applause]

11450s [Music]
11463s [Music]
11472s la
11474s [Music]
11534s what a nailbiter of a series here for
11536s the upper semifinals of calling all
11539s heroes Challengers series um we've also
11542s got that chipotle MVP of the match to
11546s show you guys so that's a big W over
11549s towards the support on the one of the
11551s supports actually on the side of
11554s Timeless it's going to be Halo she went
11558s absolutely insane in value there in that
11561s last match up tala
11563s I definitely feel like we saw Halo
11565s making a lot of these plays setting up
11567s so much for these squads on the Lucio on
11570s the Vita I mean especially this one that
11573s we saw in Samoa I mean Samoa was
11576s definitely Timeless serial map they were
11578s very dominant here but even after that
11581s Halo was able to set up a lot of the
11583s plays by putting players in key
11585s positions and allowing them to combo the
11587s ultimates allowing them to be able to uh
11591s put in so much damage with lizards with
11594s the gravitic fluxes it was just amazing
11597s what we
11599s saw yeah no was pretty incredible there
11602s coming out from Halo overall big big MVP
11606s here for the side of Timeless Eternal
11608s that's Triple A match MVP but we also
11611s can't not talk about the team overall
11614s there CB the supports are the reason why
11617s everyone on the front line can keep up
11619s in the game and overall I mean I feel
11623s like I mean this was the closest match
11625s of today thus far but you cannot deny
11629s how difficult almost of a match it was
11632s for the squad it it was the closest
11634s match thus far and we only had two
11635s matches by the way it doesn't feel like
11637s it like it feels like we've been through
11638s like six yeah it really like we've been
11640s through hell together right no we've
11642s actually only been through like one
11643s pretty Swift easy series and then a best
11645s of Five series or sorry a uh yeah best
11647s of Five series and you know the support
11650s play on either side was phenomenal and I
11651s look back I think back to especially new
11654s junk city right where Halo is setting up
11656s so many of these plays with the boops
11657s with the environmental kills whether it
11659s was on the Lucio or the Bita she was
11661s definitely holding her own even
11662s sometimes swapping back and forth
11664s between the two just to try and you know
11666s do whatever the moment called for and
11668s she na she knocked it out of the par she
11669s nailed it her positioning was phenomenal
11671s just playing very far back with you know
11673s trying to bait out the Dragon Blade and
11675s be ready to not Ajax it to make sure
11677s that sound barrier goes off when they
11679s need it and you know we talk about again
11682s about the whole team how having that
11683s good a support play means that your
11684s whole team is going to have that much
11686s more confidence sniper and saw Hill as
11688s your front line if they know that that
11690s sound barrier will be there when they
11691s need it if they know that their you know
11693s their Anna their Baptist will still be
11695s alive when they need him to be and it's
11697s all thanks to Halo that's you know
11699s that's good that's good team play that's
11701s good team play that's confidence that
11702s allows them to all play better as well
11704s yeah it really does just enabling to
11707s keep your front line up in those
11708s situations but we actually have a
11710s frontliner that we get to talk to in
11713s just a second now we're going to say
11714s hello to sill on the side of Timeless
11715s Eternal and sill big congratulations for
11719s that W there it was a long series I know
11722s you just came in at the end subbing in
11724s and I was wondering well how are you
11726s feeling in general and also on top of
11728s that how did it feel to have to come in
11731s on that last map in particular with so
11734s much pressure writing on the series well
11737s to start I think we're all feeling
11738s pretty good about the win like obviously
11740s no one likes to lose we all like to win
11743s and uh I felt pretty confident going
11745s into the map because I said at the start
11747s of the series like if we go to map five
11748s I'll make us win I'm the map five
11750s Merchant that's what I said at the start
11753s and I just came in I played my game I
11755s think we were getting it a little into
11756s our heads like in some of the maps when
11758s we were losing so I just came in we we
11759s got a like a mental reset and we just we
11761s played our game in
11762s one that's really awesome I love like
11765s the the forethought that goes into that
11767s as well the fact that you're just so
11768s confident in making that call but I'm
11770s also curious I know that as far as when
11772s we're looking at which Heroes you're
11774s playing compared to sniper do you
11776s typically just kind of sub in for those
11779s dive Heroes for this team or is it more
11782s of like a mental reset situation like
11783s you were just talking about uh um I feel
11786s like when we do play Dive uh yeah I
11788s usually play it's just I feel like I'm
11790s more comfortable more of the dive
11792s characters that are like meta right now
11794s for example like Winston and stuff like
11795s because Diva and ball aren't that great
11797s right now but yeah uh mostly when we're
11799s when we're not playing like Sigma comps
11801s because sniper is just the best Sigma in
11802s the world I can't lie and yeah
11807s just I I I agree sniper does make a
11809s pretty solid case for you know being one
11811s of the best segas in the world and then
11812s you coming in and having to try and play
11814s some of those more dive Centric Heroes
11816s you know like you said you you have to
11818s try and you know be uh you have you're
11820s under a lot of pressure coming into that
11822s situation right because you like you
11823s mentioned you're getting in your own
11824s head right because uh your your team's
11826s getting your own heads because you're
11827s losing how does it feel to have to adapt
11829s to that is that like a new feeling you
11831s know having to scratch and for some of
11833s these games whereas before you just kind
11834s of ran away with it I mean yeah I feel
11837s like a lot of the mistakes we're making
11838s are like we're we're just making really
11841s big mistakes it's not like on the enemy
11843s team well no no flame to them but I feel
11844s like we're just making really big
11845s mistakes that we can definitely work on
11847s so I think it shouldn't be like this
11850s again theoretically but I feel
11854s like I I think I think we've like we've
11856s lost enough in scrims and stuff to be
11858s able to play from behind you know like I
11860s think we're used to
11861s it
11864s well you absolutely love to hear the
11865s fact that you guys are you know aware
11866s and uh looking towards making those
11869s improvements and whatnot and just uh
11872s being conscious of all of that in
11875s general um I have a bit of a fun
11877s question to ask I kind of want to know
11878s what the comms were like um specifically
11882s during that near C9 situation all the
11886s way back um I believe that was on
11890s Midtown and I that that was one
11893s hilarious oh is it the the one where
11895s they you bladed yeah they had to get you
11898s bladed I need to know what the conss
11899s were like was it like bun was making the
11901s call like okay I'm back capping and
11903s everyone's chaotic in the sense of okay
11905s let's keep them as distracted as
11907s possible okay I think our team didn't
11909s even notice that bun was doing that she
11910s was just silent on the cart and everyone
11912s was fighting and then they bladed and
11915s Bun just said well they bladed for me
11916s and we just went to the next fight
11919s like that's pretty such a me was I was
11923s so curious if it was like yeah that
11924s whole distraction I feel like that makes
11927s it even better yeah just not saying
11929s anything about it it okay well tala I'll
11932s give you the last St for the last
11934s question before we get sill to sign off
11936s because I know they have a lot of games
11938s to go okay well sill I'm just really
11940s curious if there is anyone in the
11943s bracket that you are really excited to
11944s play perhaps a rematch perhaps a first
11947s time match or just any team that you
11949s think is really fun to play against uh I
11951s mean uh our next match against Michael
11953s wave I'm like excited to play them again
11955s because we lost in Swiss and I think
11957s it's time we get our
11959s revenge very nice very nice okay so last
11962s question before I give you a chance to
11963s say your thank yous and shout outs um
11966s what is your Chipotle order if you are
11968s able to order Chipotle where you are
11971s at um okay so there actually is I I live
11975s near one of the few Canadian Chipotle
11977s but I actually haven't been there so I
11979s don't have an order I'm so you know I
11981s I'll just for sponsor I'll say burrit
11984s Google Chipotle right now and tell me
11986s what looks the most appetizing I need to

11992s chicken burrito with with like tomato

12877s welcome back everybody to calling all
12879s heroes and again I'm your your host Ash
12881s but I'm joined with some new casters
12883s this time around but they definitely not
12886s new to you guys in the OverWatch scene
12887s we've got Dogman and got Moxy on the
12890s desk with me and Dogman how are you
12893s feeling today I'm feeling good Ash I
12895s mean there's been some fun games today
12897s what's it what's it like coming back to
12898s the radio I know throwing back a
12900s question to you but I'm I'm doing good
12901s and I mean how have you how have the
12903s games been today for you to watch kind
12904s of throughout the series and we've had
12906s two really fun Series so far yeah we
12908s really have I would say the first series
12911s was a little bit surprising the fact
12912s that it didn't go all the way to that
12914s third map but the last one that we just
12917s saw between nyxl Embers versus Timeless
12920s ethereal was an absolute Banger and I
12923s feel like it's a bit nerve-wracking we
12925s heard from Saw Hill in that interview as
12928s well saying that okay we knew that we
12929s were making some mistakes that we don't
12931s normally make but I feel like the
12933s competition has been growing closer
12935s there
12936s Moxy yeah speaking about growing close I
12938s feel like this next match is going to be
12940s Incredibly Close because Timeless aerial
12942s they looked incredibly solid on that
12944s first map but then when nyxl's ambers
12947s started running that Genji it became a
12950s lot more problematic and something that
12952s microwave have been running throughout
12954s the entirety of this major is Zoe on the
12957s Genji so I'm expecting T aeral to
12960s potentially have a little bit more of a
12962s struggle against this team than if they
12964s were rocking against someone like
12966s Vancouver Titans blue M it's a big
12969s rematch coming in as well considering
12971s that Michael wave managed to 20 Timeless
12973s ethereal last week within the Swiss
12976s stage on top of that a team that Barely
12978s Used to even drop Maps when calling all
12981s heroes had initially started so uh we're
12984s going to say hello to the rosters as
12986s well we'll kick things off with I
12989s believe the side of Michael wave on that
12991s first end there for the roster graphic
12994s but overall tell me a little bit about
12996s this team dowin well I mean they've
12998s they've so far been very good right
13000s incredibly consistent consistent team
13001s throughout this major and that's really
13003s what you're looking for for a team that
13005s can potentially upset Timeless ethereal
13007s especially since you know previously at
13010s least like we said last game with timeo
13012s versus nxl Embers it was incredibly
13014s close so out of every single team that
13016s could potentially upset it's it's these
13018s guys right soe has been very very
13020s talented their tank player as well and
13022s obviously a very strong backline too
13024s especially with wi rocking that brigita
13026s in a lot of the main support
13028s roles well we're going to see have we're
13030s going to have the revisit also who
13032s Michael wave will be facing up against
13034s as well of course this team that they've
13036s been able to knock down once before but
13040s we also know that Timeless ethereal Moxy
13042s have it in them to be able to bring
13044s things back in that kind of sense and
13046s also bring their sixth uh player in yeah
13050s and I mean the five lucios as as well
13052s has become very much a staple of the
13053s Timeless aerial hero cards I'm a huge
13057s fan of this team I love how flexible
13059s they can be right bum being able to play
13060s play both the tank and also DPS wisps
13063s actually locking in the Widow Maker
13065s against Vancouver Titans blue on King's
13067s Row getting so much support from the
13069s rest of the team I absolutely adored the
13071s play that they made where wisps actually
13073s just went up on the Widow on Cinema and
13076s got the amplification Matrix from Zed
13078s and with that they would have just
13080s absolutely clapped every single head of
13083s every player that walked through the CH
13084s because it's something that you're not
13086s expecting and I think that's something
13087s that time really are able to bring to
13089s the table right that
13091s unpredictability coming up against one
13093s of these teams where they do know
13095s exactly what they're going to be going
13096s up against Michael wave have been very
13098s open about the conversations that they
13099s like to lock Mario is going to be
13101s playing a lot of the doomfist even
13103s though this is going to be played on
13104s oppr client not live so it's thankfully
13107s not going to be a regenerating 75 Health
13110s per second while up in the air Doom
13113s first but still a terrifying do this
13115s nonetheless absolutely as a reminder to
13118s everyone we are again within the upper
13119s finals of the challenge series here as
13122s well for the last major within the
13124s regular season of calling all heroes we
13126s got to head into this first map though
13128s and it's going to be Antarctic selected
13131s here for control picked here by Michael
13134s wave there Moxy yeah no surpris is this
13137s is one of the best control maps for the
13139s Doom to find so much value there is a
13141s lot of high ground so a lot of the time
13142s if you try and run that Sigma you can
13144s actually find yourself being stunted by
13146s the mobility to the to the point of
13147s actually having to run something like a
13149s symmetra on one of those DPS slots a lot
13152s of those fights are going to be taking
13153s place in incredibly cramped spaces which
13155s means the dest punching in is going to
13156s be hitting and disrupting multiple
13158s people this is the best possible choice
13160s that they can
13162s make it absolutely is but we're about to
13165s head into the game before we do you guys
13167s have some things to cop down in chat as
13170s well we've got the codes to come in here
13173s for that chipotle drop so you guys get
13175s your burritos as I send Dogman and Moxy
13179s into the game thank you Ash and it's
13182s good to be back right back in the
13184s radiant Heroes where every single season
13186s it feels like the talent level just
13188s keeps increasing Moxy you know obviously
13190s today has had some incredibly fun
13193s matches really really good so far and
13196s you know for a team like Michael wave
13197s Moxy you know what is their kind of win
13200s condition leading into antar Peninsula
13202s because obviously like you said this is
13203s a good map for them you kind of touched
13204s on him with a doomfist but maybe what
13206s are some I get some specific points of
13209s why this team could pop off on this in
13211s particular I mean like we've already
13213s talked about right the doomfest being
13214s able to come in and disrupt so many
13216s players is really good because it allows
13219s the Genji that sort of chaotic factor of
13221s coming in entirely unnoticed looking to
13225s infiltrate into the back line and bait
13226s out an awful lot of those really
13228s important resources whether or not
13230s you're playing something like the
13231s Baptist and you find yourself using
13233s immortality field a little bit too early
13235s before a fight properly kicks off that's
13236s going to have a major impact in how
13238s aggressive your tank gets to play to try
13241s and create
13242s space yeah that's a some good points and
13246s obviously Icebreaker going to be our
13247s first sub map and both of these teams
13250s obviously have been consistent so far
13252s specifically microwave where obviously
13254s last game and we saw Timeless theal
13256s earlier today you know maybe a little
13258s bit dicey Moxy do you think that was
13260s more to Timeless ethereal not playing up
13263s to their typical level or was that match
13265s up versus zenway really really just a
13268s strong match up from them I mean you
13270s can't really say that TS weren't playing
13274s up to what they normally are because I
13276s mean everyone was popping up on that
13278s team right bun coming with some really
13280s sneaky Tracer players almost getting the
13283s C9 on Midtown wisps absolutely popping
13286s off on hit gun as well we're going to
13288s see however the first map type come
13290s through and it is going to be ice
13291s breaker wisps going for that symmetra
13294s the for swapping over to the sergeon to
13296s be able to power slide back in microwave
13298s not on the Doom first running something
13300s very similar to what we've actually seen
13302s previously ajmr going to be on the
13304s Moira definitely a very brawl heavy
13307s composition however death already took
13308s some poke early on resulting in a lot of
13311s those heals go into them but in this
13313s find about even in terms of health Co
13314s until wi in the rest of Michael wave
13317s collapsed onto Timeless Imperial not
13318s giving them any positioning any room to
13321s work with although a nice creation from
13322s sniper was absolutely beautiful however
13325s far too much pressure towards the
13326s objective and at this point the Baptist
13328s is just going to get delayed in
13329s microwave but first to take the point
13332s yeah W coming in on that Lo here to
13334s enable Mari not having to worry about
13336s getting walled off and separated away
13338s from the rest of the team this is
13340s actually a really nice uh conversion of
13342s that support lineup right normally when
13344s you see that tank getting walled off by
13346s the may you want to have the Baptist to
13347s be able to use the exer boots and jump
13349s over the wall and for the immortality
13351s field but agmon knows they're
13352s potentially going to be picked off by
13354s whs or BN so goes onto the Moira for
13356s that better survivability with the fade
13358s in case you get pressured whisp now on
13360s on that Bastion looking to try and Shred
13362s Mari out of the Nemesis for death goes
13365s down to yeah bu with the perfectly
13368s placed wall however maybe the ultimates
13369s are too much at the point the Baptist
13371s window does keep everybody sustained as
13374s it is even into this fight another
13376s perfectly placed wall by bun gives Halo
13378s the kill on to soe so fantastic work on
13380s the re-engage on Timeless Imperial now
13383s Michael wave looking to make it even
13385s however now they're in gravitic flux
13387s into the sky they go wi is able to find
13389s the bti and some this Moira has been
13391s able to survive all of this fight
13393s however eventually far too much ultimate
13396s pressure with buns blizzard towards the
13399s point though they're having to back up
13401s Michael wave I mean they've lost too
13402s many people towards this
13405s point oh yeah that too man now into this
13408s next fight Moxy they're going to be
13409s against
13411s Halo well here's the thing sniper used
13414s uh the flux Bon also used the blizzard
13416s to be able to just stop microwave from
13419s being able to contest has that point for
13420s as long as possible with the stall on
13422s the Lucio as a result they don't have
13424s the B to counter that Nemesis coming on
13427s in from Mario who's immediately going to
13428s move forward with the raater ultimate
13431s trying to find the lock in on these
13432s players they get the blizzard off the
13434s beat was there however the blizzard
13436s caught too many people from Timeless
13438s Imperial out now Mich wave can continue
13440s this pressure up sure they gave up the
13441s point for a little bit interesting as
13443s timate of all things but now Michael
13445s waiver in last fight territory Timeless
13446s etheral backs against the wall Halo's
13449s going to go on the we we're going to
13451s yeah see it just being used to reset
13453s that Lucio as de coming in with the
13455s death L and they have to spot where the
13457s reaper is going to be as microwave get
13459s Bry they're going to hold time with a at
13461s the choke to stop them from being able
13463s to even contest the point and there's
13465s the death awesome Dustin it's all
13467s falling apart for Timeless yeah I mean
13470s that was that was the right play I mean
13472s perfectly coordinated there for for
13474s Michael wave and now rotated to the
13476s point I mean bun Last One Alive just
13478s going to get staggered that's beautiful
13480s that's that's pretty much Premier
13481s OverWatch gameplay right there for
13482s microw wave Halo tries to touch but just
13485s can't I mean that was that was beautiful
13487s Moxy yeah microwave coming in looking
13490s really strong Zoe had such a stellar
13494s wall even though microwave at the
13496s beginning of one of those fights they
13498s lose death they're actually able to
13499s trade it out Zoe finds the wall onto
13502s every single player on Timeless aerial
13505s agmr follows up with the coalescent so
13508s everyone can get incredibly aggressive
13510s and directly into the team while still
13513s being able to heal through that Moira
13515s ultimate and as a result Timeless AAL
13517s just feels so pressured that they throw
13520s in both the flux and then the blizzard
13523s and as a result they just have no
13525s ultimate to be able to power and Barrel
13527s through any of the choke holds that
13530s microwave
13532s control microwave now up one interesting
13536s comp two here now they're walking with
13537s the doomfist that you were talking about
13538s earlier monster yeah they're going to be
13540s able to use that higher Mobility Zoe
13542s going to be going in on that Genji wisps
13545s sticking with the Bastion trying to
13547s shred this doomfest who doesn't have a
13549s shield to his name the power block very
13552s very little in the face of that Bastion
13554s and as a result we going see atmr on the
13556s Anna wicker having to play bodyguard on
13559s that Bria as they've noticed the Anna
13561s vulnerable and there it is that's the
13563s trade off the brings so much
13565s sustainability but the tank just has no
13567s he yeah I mean that was nice Ro around
13570s from Timeless aerial I mean that's how
13572s you deal with right Marx you just kind
13573s of rotate around you AJ got cut
13576s out yeah AJ got CAU out immediately
13579s everyone from time will see the Anna
13581s jump on them they've got Halo on the
13583s lucier to be able to speed boost
13584s everyone on the team and to be able to
13587s punish that mistake and unfortunately
13588s agmr the only defense that you're going
13590s to have is either wicker staying right
13592s by your side or Mari getting incredibly
13594s aggressive and rolling but Timeless F do
13597s not have a full team's attention on the
13600s Anor zo we want to kill onto whiz I'm
13604s not even did he deflect or did she
13605s deflect the deflect she deflected oh my
13608s God and then bring it into a 3K soy
13611s beautiful Genji gam playay out of
13614s Michael Wes Genji player and they want
13616s even more I mean just looking to push
13617s back sniper at the very least in the
13619s rest of Timeless ethereal got them off
13621s the point without having to use a single
13623s ultimate andmr going to be coming into
13626s this next fight with the Nano Zoe she is
13628s so close to that BL whisp off of the
13631s Bastion onto thean to be able to try and
13633s take these off angles and punish the
13635s Anna a lot more easily than the Bastion
13637s has to play so much closer to
13640s sniper plux engaged but has the anapo
13643s their perfect work from microwave
13645s support line now Zoe goes in with the
13647s blade gets one on the Tracer of all
13649s players eventually they're able to find
13651s it through some fantastic B piece play
13653s however the pressure is already there
13655s the damage might already be done in this
13657s fight off the map you go goodbye snip
13660s also wh see you later it was a bait it
13664s was a bait Zoe goes for the blade and
13667s pulls everyone on time cerial side onto
13670s cliff and the nanoboost doesn't go to
13672s the Genji it goes to Mari on her Doom
13675s first she has all of the damage
13678s reduction to be able to hold that
13679s position and find the environmental
13682s knockoffs onto Timeless
13685s aerial so in that fight in particular so
13688s we just kind of tried to fight the
13689s Tracer I like the aggression like the
13691s confidence there however results in you
13694s getting picked off early and giving up
13696s the point so now they can't even use any
13698s ultimates here microwave they're back to
13699s the spawn Timeless with the point yeah
13702s unfortunately you can't deflect rocks
13705s and sniper comes in with a creation and
13707s bodies the Genji bun now looking for a
13711s flank what is she going to find she
13713s finds the pulse B did she manage to get
13715s a kill no and she didn't even Bait wi
13717s into using the rally to stop her
13720s Timeless theal trying to get these kind
13723s of perfect positioning to make sure that
13725s they're on this Anna as soon as they
13727s walk out overclock coming up in a second
13729s M wave have easily a great op to work
13732s with here though on their re-engage
13734s however now ESS actually get picked off
13736s soy going for those aggressive plays is
13738s able to find bun that's a huge opening
13741s pick for Michael Wayne however death
13743s will eventually fall trade back sojourn
13746s still and eventually this Baptist is
13749s eventually going to run out of utility
13750s so no more after use some Timeless theal
13753s they're going to have to lay of this
13755s objective just kind of stall out the
13756s point get a r test later and microwave
13758s again win a fight without any
13761s ultimates th zal use the sound barer as
13764s well they've got the amplification
13765s Matrix to try and buy themselves some
13767s space unfortunately you're up against a
13769s composition that's so mobile Mar is
13771s going to have absolutely no respect
13772s she's just going to punch directly
13773s through it they might have to combine it
13776s with whis of overclock but then you have
13777s to out your death just so many
13781s ultimates in the bank at the moment for
13783s both teams no still available Mich
13786s playing slow 93% of the board now comes
13788s that overclock with an anab boost called
13789s it Moxy that goes on to wh I mean what
13792s do you do about that counter gratic blux
13794s tried to stop it but there's too many
13796s heals for Micha wave at the moment also
13798s amplification m to the main he but shut
13800s down by Mari and at this point I mean
13803s what do you do if your Timeless ethereal
13805s besides touch the point really this
13807s might just be a go next map kind of
13808s situation because microwave looked
13811s amazing on a lot of their fights 20 on
13814s an Antarctic
13816s Peninsula yeah Timeless aerial they're
13818s coming in with amplification Matrix
13820s normally if you're up against a team
13821s that likes to brawl you can drop the
13822s amplification Matrix As you move in from
13825s choke onto the point unfortunately
13828s they're up against a heavily mobile team
13832s as a result everyone just gives it
13834s absolutely no minders that's how the
13836s deflect got wisps and this is how Zoe is
13839s able to find the kills afterwards
13841s sleeped out onto B the May incredibly
13844s vulnerable and this is actually
13845s something that I really wanted to talk
13847s about Genji was almost soon as
13849s unplayable on the last contenders patch
13851s because of how strong May was buffed as
13854s a result a lot of those players who
13856s wanted to field into the Genji ASI got
13858s spooked away from the pick entirely
13860s because you can't deflect all of the
13862s damage coming through from the Main's
13864s endothermic Blaster but Zoe was doing
13866s such a good job of just allowing the
13868s rest of her team to be able to deal with
13870s the May picking fights knowing that she
13872s doesn't have to worry about being
13874s shredded by all of that damage coming
13876s off of that may being that she's not got
13879s anything to actually have equipped to be
13881s able to deal with herself and as a
13884s result microwave were just finding so
13886s much value off of the Genji Pi yeah it's
13889s it's looking good at the moment I mean
13891s Genji really like you said has has made
13893s that kind of had a Resurgence in the
13896s meta and you know maybe maybe they talk
13898s as well about the whole team right and
13900s also if we looked at microwave support
13901s line there MOX I mean they were doing a
13903s good job keeping soe alive and and
13905s really enabling her yeah I mean we only
13909s really saw ajmar getting CAU out of
13911s position once and that was in the first
13914s fight where everyone from microwave is
13915s not really working with all of the
13917s information they're trying to figure out
13919s what ESS the fial are they're trying to
13921s figure out where the uh sigar is going
13923s to be rotating into because as we saw
13925s the Genji does not want to go directly
13926s into the middle of the composition with
13929s little inform because that means that
13930s you're going to be rising the respawn
13932s room a lot earlier than you were banking
13935s on ever since that moment however they
13938s were able to make sure that their
13939s backline was protected that no one was
13941s able to infiltrate and drop onto agmr a
13944s little bit too early a lot of it did
13946s come down to the the fact that they were
13948s able to control the point for as long as
13950s they did right it's a lot harder to be
13951s able to as an attacking and approaching
13953s team try and find an off angle on an
13956s Anna that has been nestled up in some of
13958s those High Ground cor is kept safe by
13960s that Brigida and you also have to worry
13963s about a Genji and a doomfist pushing
13965s into your backline and trying to find
13967s those kills on every single approach and
13970s I think as well specifically for
13972s Timeless right they they've shown to
13974s kind of struggle versus these dive
13976s compositions so far in the tournament
13977s right I mean it's just even I would say
13980s against lesser teams they still somehow
13982s you know will struggle in a lot these
13983s team fights and I don't know if that's
13985s due to a lack of coordination
13987s potentially or maybe mechanical
13989s differential to dealing with the Dives
13991s maybe like players don't do as good
13993s versus these dive comps Moxy what do you
13994s think it is that really is the weakness
13996s of Timeless ethereal versus these dive
13998s teams specifically like microwave looks
14000s really clean but also Timeless maybe
14002s some of that has to do with their I
14004s don't know preparation or or something
14006s versus the
14007s dimes yeah it feels like they've
14009s definitely been preparing more for the
14010s mirror right when you look at how they
14012s would dispatching a lot of these other
14014s teams a lot of the time it was when they
14016s were going into the sigma mirror with
14018s that main Soldier and it's a matchup
14020s that they know incredibly well it's a
14022s matchup that they're very good at being
14024s able to do in fact you can even see how
14026s much preparation they put into being
14027s able to run that Sigma as often as
14029s possible given the fact it's not just
14031s sniper who plays the sigma they also
14033s have bum being able to flexs onto the
14036s tank as well so they're putting a lot of
14039s forward and resources into learning that
14042s composition and unfortunately we saw the
14045s problems coming through from that
14047s composition if you are being accosted by
14049s a dive team you don't really have a lot
14052s of peel for multiple dive targets right
14056s once the sigma uses the accretion it's
14058s sort of a one and done if it doesn't
14060s immediately find a connection especially
14063s if you get punched out of it by a
14064s doomfist mid cast animation it still
14067s goes on coold down and you don't get
14069s that opening to immediately be able to
14070s jump a low Health Target as a result
14073s they sort of have to make this decision
14075s of whether or not they want to play
14076s incredibly aggressive and try and go for
14078s the back line to deny the resources and
14081s stop the Genji and the doomfest feeling
14082s like they have the absolute run of the
14084s map as a result or if they want to play
14087s too defensive and they give up too much
14089s space and unfortunately there's not
14091s really a winning strategy when you try
14093s and figure between both of them every
14094s single time you're giving something up
14096s and on control you never want to be at a
14099s disadvantage before the fight even
14101s starts and I was thinking as well Marx
14103s you know what map does Timeless take us
14105s to considering what just happened in
14107s that one on antartic Peninsula looks
14109s like it's going to be Midtown um
14111s obviously you know I think these Sigma
14112s compositions can do well on Midtown Moxy
14115s but you know versus a team like
14118s microwave with how clean they're playing
14119s at the moment I I don't know are you a
14121s little worried potentially for Timeless
14124s considering the fact that you know hke
14126s has been playing or not hke sorry um
14128s this this whole team has been playing
14129s Super well around the Genji I mean I I
14132s can't help but feel that Midtown you
14134s know I'm sure is a is a good pick in
14136s them for them in scrims and stuff but
14138s like you said maybe this preparation for
14139s you know the mirror or something is
14141s resulting in you know different map
14143s picks potentially coming out for them so
14147s I could actually see this as time aeral
14149s trying to put buns Echo into play
14151s because that is the thing that they were
14153s able to use in the last matchup when
14155s they were struggling against the Genji
14157s because Genji into Echo always favors
14160s the echo a vast majority of the time as
14163s long as you don't throw your stickies
14164s into the deflect you should be a okay
14167s because deflect does not affect uh
14171s focusing beam so as a result if the
14172s Genji tries to close up the distance or
14174s use the deflect when he's looking for
14176s that dive the echo is still able to a
14178s lot of the time deal enough damage to
14180s either kill him outright or chase him
14182s away and if he uses his Dash he's going
14184s after the echo you know that that's
14186s immediately going to give your backline
14188s a sort of bubble of safety and it was
14190s something that we saw time with aeria
14192s when they went to Route 66 bun ran onto
14196s the echo we could potentially see it
14198s here as Michel wave on the defense are
14201s immediately going to be putting that
14203s hero into play we do get to see an echo
14206s but it's not from the team that Timeless
14208s aerial were
14209s hoping no yeah I mean really interesting
14213s pick considering I mean it does feel
14215s Moxy like Ekko is kind of like has a
14217s main stay on on Midtown does feel like
14219s we see this character specifically on
14221s this map and I guess like like you said
14222s you pointed it out like most of these uh
14225s of these payload Maps the echo can kind
14226s of R free but you know it does seem to
14229s me Moxy that the Ekko doesn't carry as
14231s hard as the Genji I mean is that is that
14233s a fair opinion you think or do you think
14235s the Ekko has that potential that Genji
14238s does I mean she definitely has the
14240s potential especially got the mercy
14241s pocket Zoe however going to be running
14243s out on the echo AGM on the Anna to
14246s sustain Mari on that tank without a
14249s shield only power block to her name ESS
14251s fa now have an entirely different win
14253s condition if they're able to keep the
14255s echo in check off of wisps or Z they're
14257s going to have a much easier time being
14258s able to cross through these ches and if
14260s they take too long however mari's going
14262s to be able to cyle through those cool
14263s Downs a lot faster than sniper who's
14266s already had to receive immortality field
14268s yeah sniper kind of just sat in a very
14270s aggressive position there towards the
14271s fire truck and poke from basically
14274s everywhere however Michael wave does
14276s have a lot of low players on their team
14278s if they can heal up maybe they can
14279s stabilize towards the point two and
14281s actually they force off Timeless
14282s Timeless do not capitalized on anything
14284s I guess they set a bun towards the flank
14286s there so that could be big in this
14288s upcoming
14289s fight yeah Bun's definitely looking for
14291s that flank you can see wigger being a
14293s lot more aware of this space around to
14296s make sure the AG mod does not have to
14297s deal with that Tracer as Mari once again
14300s going to jump onto sniper and try and
14302s separate the signal from the team the
14303s time we going to walk in Halo contest
14306s towards The High Ground the result in
14308s both back lines losing their Flex
14310s support sniper however find sewing after
14313s the heals were removed and just
14314s continues that pressure up right on to
14317s support and soj of Michael wave I mean
14320s what do you do against that fantastic
14322s work from Timeless on that engaged
14323s sniper popping off
14326s there yeah really good stuff coming
14328s through from that Sigma an absolute
14329s anchor to this composition microw wave
14332s could potentially try and recontest you
14333s can actually see the tal DPS just moving
14336s forward making sure that that does not
14338s happen they know how close death is
14339s going to be to the overclock wicker to
14342s that rally as F does have the pulse bomb
14344s if agma plays too close to Wicker this
14346s time around is actually a detriment
14348s because the
14349s potentially catch both of them but it
14351s does come through and unfortunately it
14353s does not secure a kill what it has been
14355s able to do though is push Michael wave
14356s away from the chokes so sniper can move
14358s forward and take Mari down mari's kind
14361s of been the sacrificial lamb for Michael
14363s wave see if they can get the kills and
14366s oh my gosh W was almost gravitic flux
14369s but was pulled back into it however
14371s Michel wave even though they lost their
14373s brigita are still in a solid position
14375s here they're going to back up give a bit
14377s of that space but they've got the gtic
14379s out of Timeless etheral at the very
14380s least they've got The High Ground as
14383s well so even though both surgeons are
14385s going to have the overclock they in a
14386s much better position to be able to use
14389s it Zoe on the echo going to get the
14391s naners this is something we've seen time
14393s and time again in contenders has to deal
14396s with the lamp but takes too long the bad
14398s CL from time with the S able to take the
14400s E down there's a reason why Halo has
14403s been an MVP of the tournament so far for
14406s this team Wile also falls to them too
14409s perfect work from the Lucio player of
14411s time superial expertly time beat drop
14414s and then the engage overclock also to
14416s continue Timeless etheral engage wh able
14418s to find AJ and then the wh is there to
14420s save them too continuing the rain is
14423s timeless
14424s ethereal really good stop from time back
14427s like you said c just using the
14428s immortality field to enable with with
14431s the aggression on that overclock we're
14433s going to see the attempt contest come
14435s through from microwave but immediately
14437s Mario is going to fall the amplification
14439s Matrix not going to let the Doom first
14441s punch through that one instead it's
14443s going to be microwave punching their
14444s ticket to respawn this Timeless of
14447s ferial get aggressive and try and buy
14449s themselves as much space as possible on
14451s the payload by holding microwave in the
14453s SP as long as they can 4 minutes and 20
14457s seconds bu's got a p spomb ready to go
14459s so swaps over to the Genji that's that
14461s swap that has been interesting
14462s throughout the tournament death also has
14464s an overclock ready to go as we cross
14466s this first
14467s Corner yeah onto that Genji going to try
14470s and close up the distance between
14471s themselves and Z so that she can pull
14473s out that immortality field that's been
14476s enabling sniper so much more forward
14478s momentum in comparison to what Mari has
14480s been able to do bun however with that
14482s pulse bomb makes her presence no Zoe
14485s brought low enough that the old fire
14487s from the Sian takes it down yeah nice
14490s opening pick from whis Death has the
14492s counter use the overlock just to
14494s stabilize versus this team on the
14497s offensive front but I Cal playing
14499s patient they're ready to go Bun over the
14500s top of the pulse bomb waiting for it and
14503s still looking for this poke R Block some
14505s sniper buns able to find the pull bomb
14507s to soe of all players n boost on to Mari
14510s Michael wave trying to find the kills
14512s but it's a it's a doomfist right tank
14514s player doesn't have the damage to find
14516s the kills without soe in this fight now
14518s the rally from wi they're trying to find
14520s more but bun finds Mari on the engage wi
14522s now potentially caught out has to back
14524s up use the shield to kind of play as a
14526s pseudo tank at least micheler izing now
14529s the very least they can get back f with
14531s Mari to yeah huge need coming through
14534s from agmr he lands on to Z who was on
14536s critical how de able to get into
14539s Position will be able to take down the
14540s soldier and then follows it up with the
14543s Baptist what a play coming through now
14546s trying to take down BN time aeral make
14548s the call back on out Retreat regroup 2
14551s minutes and 47 seconds can disappear in
14553s the blink of an eye however when you're
14556s on Midtown and your back is up against
14558s against that
14560s choke now coming back have that window
14562s this why I love that sojourn meta Moxy I
14564s mean it's just so fun to watch two
14566s evenly match sojourns go head-to-head
14568s Sombra for bun yeah that's an
14570s interesting swap to do both teams kind
14572s of both the Genji and the
14576s Doom both of those Heroes rely on a lot
14578s of that mobility and Som all of it yeah
14581s you're right let's see if it pans out
14583s for Timeless sniper it's a they trade
14586s back wi that's a trade you'll take any
14588s day weak of your Michel wave right you
14589s have this support you still have the
14592s Anna here and no tank for they in they
14597s cannot they can't take advantage they
14598s can't put whisp into a position to be
14600s able to use the overclock that's the
14601s trade-off when you run the Sombra right
14603s you deny a lot of abilities from the
14605s other side but it also puts so much more
14607s pressure onto wisps on that soan because
14609s the Z just doesn't do enough damage
14612s we're going to see the dot take down Zoe
14616s is that enough for tal to feel actual
14618s confidence to try and take this push it
14620s looks like it is it is but you know
14622s already 2 minutes off the clock and
14623s microwave still have ultimates Nano
14625s plate available but they Nano overclock
14626s instead in that resulting two deaths
14629s immediately make it three goodbye FN no
14631s more Sombra for you halo goes down 4K
14635s for death and true to their name they're
14637s doing it
14639s today time very much feeling like they
14642s are up against death itself right now
14645s zo's going to have the blade too Halo
14647s tried to use the barrier to counteract
14650s the overclock as a result even though
14652s Zoe doesn't have the Nano boost you're
14654s still going to have the damage to be
14656s able to cut through those Health bus you
14657s don't have to worry about the Lucio
14659s ultimate pushing tal into being able to
14661s sustain through it it's all going to
14663s come down to this push ter are coming
14665s into so many ultimates but D there so
14667s many fights that they have to win
14669s afterwards the microwave do exactly what
14671s Timeless did on Antarctic push Timeless
14674s to the absolute Brink to force their
14676s hand into using as much as as soon as
14678s they possibly can always going to want
14681s to die here just to get back to the team
14683s 35 seconds left Moxy I mean this is such
14685s a close intense fight and Timeless have
14687s built up some
14688s good Timeless didn't use them that's
14691s huge microwave would try with that
14693s engagement on the blade from Zoe to push
14695s time aeral into burning those ultimates
14696s too soon tal are able to get through the
14699s spawn and choke with damage alone and
14702s now they have every single one of those
14703s ultimates except s barrier to deal with
14705s the medor strike huge EMP massive EMP
14709s wi's got to hope they stay alive but
14711s they just can't 6 seconds left can they
14713s even get overtime no 4.8 seconds that
14716s means that even if microwave cap out
14719s they with over a minute left there'll
14721s still be a chance for Timeless on their
14724s attacking side so you know Moxy even
14726s though there was such insane plays from
14728s Michael wave and it was really clean
14730s from them eventually they got whle down
14733s and that's that's got to feel a little
14734s rough for Michel wave at this point I
14737s mean the Sombra pick is huge like the
14739s Sombra pick it did so much here's the
14742s thing when you run Sombra and you're
14744s running into a problematic tank right if
14747s it's something like a sigma or a ratra
14749s or a Reinhard they have the ability to
14751s block the hack with the shield doomfist
14755s doesn't get that so every single time
14757s that Mario or Zoe takes a hard
14759s engagement into Timeless
14761s aerial she both knows that she's not
14764s going to be able to stop the hack
14766s whoever is the target is going to get
14768s hacked out by bun lose a lot of that
14771s Mobility Tak so much more damage from
14773s the dock coming through as well and as a
14775s result time AAL basically got thrown a
14779s safety line an emergency blanket for the
14782s back line to just feel safe enough to be
14784s able to walk through and the second that
14786s they banked four ultimates off of the
14788s back of an EMP Michael wave a
14790s composition that requires so much
14792s Mobility so many of those engagements
14795s and disengagements rely on you having
14796s your abilities and cool down online and
14799s Sombra denies all of it yeah I mean I I
14803s defin personally I was questioning it
14804s but you know after you described that I
14806s I think it was clean you're right and
14807s now mhm I almost rocking the Tracer on
14811s their offensive side or sorry defensive
14814s sign maybe the deal with soe as well I
14816s mean so's going to be back on that Genji
14818s again yeah there's going to be a lot of
14820s Mobility coming through from microwave
14821s so bun has to go on Tracer GD to be able
14823s to control those alleys and make sure
14825s that microwave aren't able to slip
14827s through there she is as you can just see
14829s up in that High Ground currently a
14831s sniper with the sigma Shield has the
14833s presence of being able to just hold
14835s underneath train
14836s Carriage yeah working so far stopping
14839s Mari from walking in a little bit of
14842s pressure from the flank angles from
14843s Michael away Bun's there to match it
14846s right just consistently dealing with
14848s them however you know the heals coming
14849s through from wi wi's there to support
14850s Zoe on the flank so kind of the split
14853s engage for microwave now they kind of
14855s want to go for this engage have SE
14856s towards the fire trunk go towards sniper
14858s they decide to go for the tank player of
14861s Timeless but it doesn't work out yeah
14862s too many supports helping sniper wave at
14865s the moment and Mel wave really are kind
14867s of stuck in an awkward neutral fight at
14868s the moment as Timeless are building up
14869s good
14870s olds yeah they did mat to burn out IM
14873s motality field but unfortunately by
14875s waiting for those ultimates to come
14876s online microwave have not been able to
14878s actually take advantage of the opening
14880s of that un cool down huge anate Landing
14882s onto both sniper and Halo but bun finds
14884s the kill first sniper does fall after
14887s amplification for a nano boosted Mari
14890s yet again slams her way through the
14892s window and ensures that it stays open
14895s yeah I mean I completely misread that
14896s fight it was beautiful work from time or
14898s from Michael wave you know that drawn
14901s out fight worked in their advantage with
14902s the Nano engage and Timeless really
14905s probably should have made an earlier
14907s engage Moxy it looks like they're going
14908s to rec contest here
14909s coming yeah that anti was huge and it's
14912s hugee again sniper gets hit on the
14913s inside forces them to do to that point
14915s Mari just ready to dive on the supports
14917s make sure they have to use the lamp in
14919s the backline graic plock some sniper
14921s does it find any value buns able to find
14923s death and a great opening pick but now
14925s the blade from soe is here and it's huge
14927s both Halo and the Baptist tal
14930s immediately fall nobody else to touch
14932s now far too many ultimates for Michael
14934s wave and Bun's going to get staggered
14936s out
14937s too oh that is tragic Halo was
14942s 97% away from
14944s s when Zoe pulls out the Dragon Blade
14948s oh a couple of seconds of delay and
14951s Timeless aeral would have been able to
14953s sustain through it given the fact that
14955s agmr did not have the Nano to be able to
14957s match it does mean however that ESS F do
14959s have the S Bar to try and hold on and
14961s remain on this High Ground for as long
14963s as possible to deny de the opportunity
14965s of being able to set an overclock up off
14968s of the back of it as whisp is going to
14970s get aggressive and try and push Michael
14972s way back yeah whenever whis drops this
14974s overclock you have to be worried but
14975s they're able to just take some body shot
14978s shots on the side of Michael wave
14980s however they still lose soe oh I I don't
14982s know if so miss R the situation but they
14985s trying to go back in resulting in their
14987s demise and now Michel wave have to play
14989s back they've got the Nano overclock
14991s engage at the very least but they have
14992s to stabilize here Mar Incredibly Close
14995s to the metor strike they have to make
14996s sure however that Bon isn't able to pick
14998s up both of the supports coming through
15001s on the pulse bomb with that tra to there
15003s the pulse bom directly onto Zoe who's
15005s able to double jump away now we can see
15007s the n there Halo going to swap it out
15009s with that sound bar to try and sustain
15011s all the way through it and here's the
15012s thing death did not have sound control
15015s of the high time superal quite around
15017s theion ultimate does mean however that
15020s they've alive microwave
15022s foror now meteor strike from Mari help
15025s go a bit more space ATI also over the
15028s top side but are they able to find the
15029s kill through the immortality field it
15031s doesn't look like it ability is far too
15033s strong the Timeless are able to stay
15035s over the top side however the giving up
15038s cart space so it's a tradeoff probably
15039s willing to take it Timeless they can
15041s re-engage with a git of clux whenever
15042s they want yeah microwave trying to force
15045s the drop down ESS not running that
15047s symmetri if they go off The High Ground
15048s they have to give it up entirely as
15050s we're going to see the sigma Flex being
15052s used Sniper able to pick up so many no
15055s immortality field no Baptist on
15057s microwave side that is straight death
15060s this ESS superial with the ultimate know
15062s that they're going to translate it into
15064s kills and now Timeless obviously use all
15066s all those ults 2 minutes left now
15068s Michael wave and set up their engage
15071s right that rally has been big for them
15072s so far and also Zoe with the dry blades
15074s has actually been very
15076s good I mean they could potentially use
15078s that rally to give Zoe the over armor
15081s necessary to make the jump from low
15084s ground to high ground with the blade you
15085s know that Halo does not have her sound
15087s barrier back you know that sniper does
15089s not have the flux to connect onto the
15092s Genji as microwave posturing up who's
15095s going to be the opener they're
15096s definitely waiting for Zo coming with
15098s that BL confir death at wait a minute
15100s off the disruptor shot and maybe a body
15102s shot on the Halo able to find Halo early
15104s that's extremely detrimental for
15106s Timeless who were desperately needing
15108s speed to be make sure these rotates
15111s around or potentially even make an
15112s engage but M wave ready to go one minute
15114s 20 seconds left they're actually not
15115s even on the card they're just looking to
15116s get kills here and get some elims
15118s waiting for the engage over the top side
15120s but whisp tries to go for the shot but
15122s no shot hit right Nano building up
15124s actually melave playing patiently from
15126s that Timeless knows that it's coming
15128s maybe thought it's already ready so
15129s that's why they're kind of posturing for
15131s but now nanoade so he goes in finds the
15133s lamp and then immediately onto whisp and
15135s then onto Z two kills for so and then
15138s onto the sigma as well Force the sniper
15141s back but Timeless will take this dry
15142s fight maybe they'll get a
15144s recontest they're definitely going to be
15146s able to have a recontest Halo is so
15147s close to the sign whereas he's going to
15150s have amplification Matrix to buy them
15151s the space as well to get through the
15153s choke the question is can someone touch
15155s sniper still on the sigma will be able
15157s to walk forward and find the cont AGM to
15160s soon where oh my God over gives them the
15165s kill they desperately need with 1.9 M
15168s left in 26 seconds that was clutch from
15171s Timeless oh and Dustin Michael wave gave
15174s everything in that fight death is going
15177s to have overclock but you can see the
15179s desperation coming through from this
15180s team wicker off of the BEDA not thinking
15184s about peeling for the Anna just needing
15185s to be able to have the speed of the
15188s to be able to tap death no choice but
15191s open with the overclock and sniper shuts
15193s it down sniper is a sniper in the
15196s building amazing shot on the death now
15200s microwave have to touch the objective
15202s sure sniper graic Fu got cancelled but
15204s it might not matter snipers able to find
15206s Mari I mean who else is there to touch
15208s from microwave AJ Falls Lucio coming
15212s into the delay fortunately for microwave
15214s nobody else here and it looks like today
15217s Moxy in the upper finals we're going to
15218s have it yet again another exciting match
15221s as Timeless ethereal will bring us one
15223s to one well you have to remember they
15226s got to choose the map they got to take
15228s us to Midtown and they do it because
15230s they know when we move into point B it
15234s just becomes so much harder for that
15235s Genji to be able to find Value on the
15237s attacking side having the defensive team
15239s being able to control all of those
15241s chokes and having The High Ground to be
15243s able to B on to as well where you're
15245s able to distort line of sight back your
15247s or backline entirely away if you're
15250s running that Baptist alongside the Lucio
15252s and as a result every single time that
15255s we saw these fights begin from microwave
15257s side it was off of a lot of seconds
15260s drained away with them having to posture
15262s up and build into Al fire for the serier
15265s or try and find an initial pick to Spook
15268s everyone from timless aeral side off of
15270s The High Ground and push them into
15271s disengage mode where having the abbility
15274s of the dest and the Genji massively
15276s benefits Michael wave because they have
15278s the speed and the mechanical press to be
15281s able to collapse in on the disengagement
15283s but time aerial what a play for time
15286s they're able to make aerial indeed they
15289s forc Michael wave into throwing so much
15292s out in a second to last fight Dustin
15296s there's nothing left in the tank when we
15298s head into that overtime fight and as a
15301s result it's just death trying to come in
15304s the heroic play of the overclock sniper
15307s with the accre just immediately
15309s connecting onto the sojan slammed any
15312s opportunity of a turn around straight
15314s shot yeah that that's definitely the
15315s main thing that was keeping microwave
15317s alive was death on the sojourn and
15320s Timeless by the way on this push you
15321s know that was a very clean offense and
15324s we go back to Michael waves offense you
15326s know at points they did stall out and
15329s maybe that was due to them you know not
15331s really like maybe over committing
15332s ultimates in that fight in particular
15333s but also this counter engage the macro
15336s from Timeless was truly perfect
15338s especially with support ultimates you
15339s saw the beat there and Matrix and then
15342s sniper at the very end was absolutely
15344s clutch for
15345s Timeless I mean you saw right the fact
15348s that they very quickly realized okay
15350s there's another fight afterwards we're
15352s going to try and take this fight as dry
15353s as possible we're going to come back in
15355s with all of our ultimates available and
15357s we're just going to be able to body
15359s through all of that potential dive
15362s coming through from the Genji and the
15364s doomfest who in a fight when you're
15365s going up against things like this Sigma
15368s doesn't have a lot of kill potential you
15370s don't do a whole burst of damage it's
15372s very slow chips over time it's why Genji
15374s is so good to being able to just either
15377s push Target low enough that the D is
15379s able to find a kill or vice versa and
15382s unfortunately in that fight they were
15383s just going up against way too much
15385s damage burst they were yeah I mean and
15387s if we look at the stats too here Mony I
15389s mean whs was sure getting out damaged
15392s but obviously in terms of the elim
15394s department were really kind of coming
15396s through for their team there I mean an
15398s extra three final blows too same amount
15399s of ultimates less deaths I mean what do
15402s you think about this like soj matchup in
15404s particular Moxy is it the the damage
15407s that you really need a bit more or
15408s obviously those elims are kind of the
15409s bigger deal for this team I would say
15412s elim it's very easy to sort of distort
15415s serjan stat stats right because a lot of
15418s the time serons are just trying to poke
15420s away to be able to build up the alt fire
15422s so you're going to be doing a lot of
15424s damage and you also have to remember as
15425s well de is shooting into a Sigma which
15428s means that you're going to be able to
15429s accumulate damage on that Shield
15432s pressure as opposed to wisps every
15434s single time whisp is hitting anything
15436s there is no shield on the other side
15439s right so as a result every single time
15442s your suron is connecting it's actually
15444s dealing damage directly to health as
15447s opposed to Dev who first has to chunk
15448s through not only Sigma Shield but also
15451s then bait out that Sigma shift which was
15453s a huge sort of hinging plan of Michael
15456s wave for all of the sigma cool down so
15458s the lamp comes out and immediately opens
15461s the door for the Genji and the doomfist
15462s to be able to jump on the sigma find the
15464s kill deny the tank from being able to
15466s Anchor a composition and immediately
15468s chaos is Unleashed and that something at
15470s the Genji and the dest riv and now Marx
15472s we will be going to surasa you know this
15475s is a map where you know in flasho in
15477s general I I think a lot of teams like to
15479s favor those dive compositions however we
15481s still see Sigma still do pretty well
15484s here I mean is flasho in general kind of
15487s this like hybrid between both you know
15489s King of the Hill AKA control and then
15491s payload because the maps are so big I
15493s mean what favors what like what which
15495s composition you think is favored more is
15497s it going to be those dive compositions
15498s on surasa or do you think it's going to
15500s be those
15501s sigmas I mean I think it depends on the
15503s team's identity right like you've said a
15506s lot of flasho is about having the
15507s mobility on these Heroes to be able to
15510s take advantage of all of the different
15511s angles that open up some of these points
15514s so that you can out rotate your enemy
15516s but if you pick a comp position that is
15518s really good into dive and you have
15521s control of the space and you're able to
15522s win the first fight and then bunker up
15525s on that point a lot of the momentum of
15527s those dive compositions entirely gets
15529s taken apart because it becomes very
15531s obvious which angle you're approaching
15533s from and if you decide voluntarily to
15535s split the team you're leaving yourself
15537s incredibly vulnerable because a huge
15539s part of the dive composition is that you
15541s try and buy each other the space to St
15544s on those fights a lot
15546s longer curious to see which one actually
15548s comes through I like how you mentioned
15549s that the team identity really matters a
15552s lot here as well in surasa I think that
15554s um you know both of these teams have
15556s been playing pretty consistent
15558s throughout the tournament and you know
15559s especially for for a team like Timeless
15561s to come back on Midtown you're right
15563s that was a big M pick for them um but
15565s you know really to deal with things like
15567s death popping off so Jordan right that
15569s overall macro play this team looks kind
15572s of revitalized especially after map one
15574s where if you lose 20 Moxy me you know
15576s that could definitely kind of impact the
15577s mentals a little bit moving forward
15579s right yeah what ESS ofil are also doing
15582s by the way is making sure that they're
15584s not predictable and how are they're
15585s going to counter this composition if you
15587s think about it they've gone up against
15589s this Genji composition multiple times
15592s but they've never taken the same
15593s approach and this is what I was talking
15595s about when we were breaking down the
15596s rosters before how their flexibility is
15599s one of their biggest strengths because
15601s if you're trying to run this composition
15603s if you think okay terop have struggled
15605s with this in the past we're going to run
15606s it into them you also want to know how
15608s this team is going to react but
15610s sometimes they've gone for the echo
15612s other times they've gone from the Sombra
15613s both times they found value and as a
15616s result in the matches after this no
15618s matter what happens it's not going to be
15620s an easy adjustment for a lot of these
15622s other teams to go okay they struggled
15624s against this so we'll just run it yeah
15626s that's that's really unique I think like
15628s to specifically to the radiant
15630s tournament like it feels like mhm you
15632s know compared to other tournaments we
15634s definitely don't see those like counter
15635s picks kind of coming through right like
15636s I know know I always talk about this
15638s with people like about the you know the
15640s the intricacies of OverWatch and you
15642s know the the brain power acquired when
15644s it comes to just like counter picking I
15646s feel like at the at like the very
15648s tippity top like a lot of the you know
15650s OverWatch um Pro like a lot of the a lot
15653s of the top top tier one Talent like it
15654s feels like they don't even make those
15656s swaps right it feels like they're not
15657s even using their brain it's like we're
15658s just going to play this composition and
15661s if it doesn't work it doesn't work and
15662s we change it next tournament but we're
15664s just going to lock to this but it feels
15666s like today like with these two teams
15668s Moxy you're right they're making those
15669s swamps there really is a lot of cereal
15671s gameplay going on outside of just the
15674s mechanical gameplay but more so just
15676s like the macro of it and I think that is
15678s very unique in particular to the radiant
15680s Heroes
15680s major mhm I mean I'm just really happy
15683s that we're seeing a lot of these teams
15684s locked toward something like the
15686s doomfist even though in the past a lot
15688s of people have said doomfist isn't in
15690s that great a position for a tank he's
15692s incredibly selfish we've seen that
15694s running that doomfist where you do get
15696s that pressure you have to make that
15698s decision at 50/50 do use all of your
15701s cooldowns to be able to punch back and
15703s bail your team out thus giving way too
15705s much space up to the other side or do
15707s you just have to cut your losses except
15709s that your back line is going to get
15710s sacrificed and you still need to be able
15712s to play aggressive and keep retaining
15715s that aggression so that even though your
15717s backline is gone you're still retaining
15719s the space that you've already created
15721s for your DPS to work off
15723s of we're waiting into surasa here as we
15726s get some nice shots Moxy you know this
15729s map has such a beautiful sky box it's a
15730s shame that you don't see it half it's
15732s very pretty it's it's a shame you don't
15734s see it half the time cuz you're looking
15735s all the other buildings in the game
15736s right it's just like they made such a
15738s big beautiful map and then I'm just
15740s trying to kill this Genji in the point
15741s like I can't even see it like look at
15742s this one like this the walls are too big
15744s how am I going to see the Skybox here I
15746s can't see all the work that I like the
15748s fact that these walls are so tall cuz I
15750s love playing arari on Sarah rasa I will
15753s admit I am one of those horrible support
15756s players that this second that we win a
15757s fight I'm like okay swap toari put my
15760s pile on as high and as unreachable as
15763s possible and let everyone just
15766s immediately get bodied if they try and
15768s walk forward and into a choke because I
15771s don't think we're going to see anyone
15772s lock something like an Arisa to be able
15774s to use fortifi to push through those
15776s chokes and take that cool down off of
15778s the table I'm just glad a l is not like
15781s in The Meta at the moment because of the
15782s fact that um you know usually people in
15785s chat are like oh my God you support by
15787s the way support by the way whenever a
15788s Baptist gets a kill lar gets to kill
15790s somebody chat types support by the way
15792s it's like this is just like people are
15794s just ridiculous with their comments
15796s about about like support players that
15798s can get kills it's like oh you surprise
15800s surprise Baptist whose entire kid is
15803s based around you know dealing DPS and
15805s healing can get kills guys I mean
15806s amazing you know great you got killed by
15808s support and then you just blame the
15810s support for being good anyways that's
15811s just a personal gri regardless Michael
15813s wave sticking with that doomfist in on
15815s the side of timeless etheral I think we
15817s saw this coming Moxy they're going to be
15818s sticking with that so alongside the
15821s sigma yeah it's really going to benefit
15823s whoever wins this first fight Michael
15825s wave with that higher Mobility
15827s composition time with SE if they win
15829s this fight and can just bunker up on
15830s that point they're going to find it a
15832s lot easier to deal with that dive but a
15834s gorgeous anade immediately capitalized
15836s upon so he gets a huge Dash onto Halo
15839s that's been consistent for Michael W is
15841s ajmr hitting those antes now with that
15844s main advantage here they're just going
15845s to be able to push on in
15847s Timeless zal who have to play it slow
15849s right however microwave prioritizing the
15851s objective first before they go on that
15852s engage and now looking towards Timeless
15854s the time was backed up and look at that
15855s another thre person in grenade from agmr
15858s amazing work from that Anna build
15860s towards that ultimate however doesn't
15862s result in a kill so because of that
15864s waiting for that cool to come back Zoe
15866s playing so aggressive this has also been
15867s a consistent for microwave and that
15868s results in them getting picked oh no
15870s that's terrible for this team who needs
15872s their Genji player alive and now ajar
15875s back in a corner has to play their lives
15878s microwave maybe they were on different
15879s pages there Moxy Zoe potentially want to
15881s go for that engage but nobody else was
15884s ready well look at what that aggression
15886s has done however agmr so close to the
15889s Nano boost I think Zoe wanted to play
15891s aggressive as a result to try and build
15893s up the blade a little bit faster to be
15895s able to keep Pace with the Anna
15897s unfortunately she sticks around in the
15899s disruptor shot coming through from wisps
15901s a little bit too long goes incredibly
15902s low has to use the deflect and then try
15904s and get back to the rest of the team
15906s time will see the opening deny the
15908s Genji's disengagement deny the Genji's
15910s existence and then move on to agmr after
15912s buns being able to infiltrate the
15914s backline and bait that sleep onto cool
15916s down as time aeral sniper getting
15918s punched into by Mari doesn't result in a
15921s kill but has got melave potentially the
15923s opportunity to close up the distance but
15925s so much pressure on tamari she goes down
15928s I mean that's so good with the ant
15930s Matrix from Z eventually Timeless able
15933s to get that kill sniper with that damage
15935s in the through but now 80% on the board
15938s Moxy this is going to be either a really
15940s hard R test or not at all it it has to
15943s be just save in next point unfortunately
15946s a huge part of flash point is
15947s identifying when a point is lost and
15949s holding on to those ultimates so they
15950s don't go to waste and you can see
15952s Michael wave that they're not anywhere
15954s near they're going to give up the point
15956s they're going to let time AAL keep that
15957s one and posture up to be able to cut
15960s time superial off where the sigma
15962s composition hits the most it's Mobility
15964s if they're able to catch Halo sniper is
15966s absolutely dead in the water with the
15969s lack of mobility and ability to move
15971s forward and try and pressure L backless
15974s sitting on the
15975s point back microwave setting up their
15978s engage Toby's close towards that blade
15981s just trying to get a little bit of poke
15982s before they're ready to go for it and
15983s Timeless are completely aware of that
15985s situation maybe they could build up
15986s towards Halo's beat drop as well
15989s potentially counter that engage but they
15990s don't have it just yet now the N blade
15991s comes up Point unlocks but I mean oh my
15994s two kills for soe in that fight by make
15996s it three on the whisp two for one and
15998s then immediately adds whsp onto the
16001s table Unfortunately they didn't counter
16003s that engage there for Timeless Imperial
16005s maybe due to the point unlocking it was
16007s a little awkward but now M well they
16009s wanted to but Mari jumped in at the same
16012s time everything that th aeral were
16014s planning to use to counter the Genji got
16016s Beed out by the doomfest
16018s forest yeah you know ESS andal have some
16021s solid ultimates as well unfortunately or
16024s sorry to rec contest with now Michael
16026s you know what do they do here on their
16027s hold this
16029s time what are you doing oh she's getting
16032s in the back line wer and AAR playing
16035s from The High Ground so it's a lot
16036s harder for the Tracer to be able to jump
16038s onto the back line and yeah is just
16039s going to be contesting that point and
16041s trying to find the flip and they do
16043s Tyler superial bit microwave into a
16046s fight off the point and flip the point
16049s that was clean from bun in Timeless to
16051s go on that engage with the beat drop too
16053s so win that fight and got that point
16056s like you said said early on that should
16057s surely help them in the Mac of this game
16060s yeah because now they've met that win
16062s condition right they've got control of
16063s the spacing microwave have to dive into
16066s them and we're going to see the exact
16068s same occur as that first point Bon is
16070s well going to keep harassing the back
16072s line stopping microwave from being able
16074s to construct a solid dive with just the
16077s Frat of the pulse bomb look at how far
16080s microwave are having to rotate look at
16081s the amount of players they're having to
16083s leave behind to try and figure where
16084s this Tracer is in a perfect position to
16087s deal with them too here we go or here
16088s they go whs the P spom unfortunately but
16090s that's still the pressure from bun kind
16093s of just poking them through the back as
16094s well forces wi to go for that 80% on the
16096s board too f is dealing with the Doom
16099s dive Mari still has that ultimate as
16101s well to sustain going to hold on to it
16103s now though walks back towards that point
16105s towards the rent of their team but Z
16108s consistently doing a lot of work for
16110s Timeless at the moment just really
16111s waiting for that ATM play so patient
16113s perfect lamp as well then two kills for
16115s them too over time taking down nobody
16117s else here I mean microwave just has to
16120s stagger towards that point as timeus
16122s etheral go up two they have one more
16124s objective to complete flash
16126s point they lost that fight off of just
16130s the paranoia from where bun was playing
16132s as Tracer if a dive composition isn't
16135s taking a fight then you're not face
16137s tanking to build Nano boost for ajmr as
16140s a result when the fight actually kicks
16142s off they don't have the ultimates to be
16143s able to chunk through it time on out yet
16147s again leaving bun behind to try and find
16149s infiltration into the back line so he's
16151s so close to the blade if they can find a
16153s kill on AGM they're going to deny it
16155s entirely especially if they that close
16156s to S barrier r on the front
16160s line towards that blade wh gets booped
16163s away Mari 2 so almost pressured off the
16167s angle they want to find at whis already
16168s used that cool down to leave so he kind
16170s of wants to go for it but then regroup
16171s towards the rest of the team well
16172s Timeless already is here on the
16173s objective so they get the flip nanoade
16175s comes out now onto sniper is a beaten
16178s there in time no it's not unfortunately
16180s Halo could not save sniper nor could an
16182s immortality field though with does trade
16184s back death so that's something here to
16186s disrupt death with the overclock as well
16189s wh goes but it's s to immediately
16191s Landing now as Mari to find a bit more
16193s buns able to find the pulse bomb off of
16196s very good re-engage now for Timeless
16199s however Mari still here towards the
16200s point trying to contest the objective
16203s Halo's able to find them he will go down
16205s to
16207s able to trade that back though and Bun's
16208s able to find one two I mean this is so
16210s far brutal for Michael wave is timeless
16212s get now up to
16214s 60% yeah cuz they had control of that
16216s point the entire way through that's why
16219s we saw the sound bar come through from
16221s Halo even though she'd lost sniper
16223s already and yet again bun is there to
16226s stop microwave from being able to rotate
16229s there is one last fight and time will
16231s know they're going to be able to win it
16233s as long as they can keep microwave off
16234s that point coming to touch 90% on the
16237s board here sniper yeah already going for
16239s that back line just go for the solo flux
16241s oh actually double in that ultimate AJ
16243s Mark goes down sniper just has to
16245s disrupt Mari now can't even use or death
16247s can't even use the overclock for next
16249s fight that's already two kills just off
16250s the back of perfect Sigma gameplay I
16253s mean Timeless ethereal now looks like
16256s there's nothing microwave can do to stop
16258s them from winning this map and going up
16260s one in the series to potentially bring
16262s us to two to one and they do so one more
16266s map now for Timeless to win that was
16268s awesome for them on
16270s zasa Yeah clean Mechanicals but such
16273s smart macro play coming through from
16275s them they identify really quickly that
16277s even though all of those off angles and
16280s amount of approaches that are open to
16282s microwave should benefit that dive with
16284s the surprise element it plays perfectly
16287s into bun Fair Factor we start playing
16289s over watch Dustin the second that we
16291s move on to Second point we start playing
16293s a horror
16294s game yeah yeah we do I mean what do you
16297s do versus that right that's that's why
16298s tank players are are so freaking strong
16300s is that they could just sit in your face
16302s as well with you know obviously sniper
16305s that opposite in their last fight by the
16306s way not living up to them there more
16308s more like just like Melee prep hero from
16310s aob I like just disgustingly shutting
16313s down anything microwave could do it's
16314s it's it's tough for ajmr too because I
16316s feel like they're playing fine and
16318s they're trying to do as much work as
16319s possible but there's a weird disconnect
16321s right now for them it feels like Moxy
16323s between Zoe and ajmr right it seems like
16326s agmr is pressured by the tank player and
16328s there's not much that so could do on the
16330s front line right trying to play as
16331s aggressive as they can I don't know is
16332s that the desync there that's setting up
16334s Michael wave kind of for a bit of a
16336s disaster or is a matter of Timeless
16338s ethereal kind of just going a wrench him
16340s into their plans right now I mean it's a
16343s huge thing of Timeless aerial just
16344s stopping Michael wave from having the
16346s comt factor into running dive as we've
16349s talked about right even When dive was
16352s first initially a composition in
16353s OverWatch the entire strategy if you
16356s think back to when we had 2 CP and we
16358s were coming into places like AIS if you
16361s were attacking you would run the Winston
16363s you would have the Anna you would send
16364s your Winston onto The High Ground
16366s initially on the platform that the
16369s Defenders had the Anna would be able to
16371s heal up the Winston who would face tank
16373s for the Nana boost and only when you had
16374s the Nana boost would you actually commit
16376s to the fight and it's something that
16378s Timeless saer will know incredibly well
16380s again because of how flexible this
16382s composition are they've played dive they
16385s know how sets up they know it's wind
16387s conditions so what they're doing is
16389s essentially seeing that potential
16391s disconnect between the Genji having to
16392s play a lot more aggressive to keep up
16394s with all of the old charge that the Anna
16396s is picking up from the Poke coming
16398s through the sigma composition on the
16399s other side and they know that it's going
16402s to be forcing y Genji into having to
16404s play a lot more aggressive potentially
16406s out of position to be able to match the
16409s ultimate charge up with the Nano boost
16411s and they're pushing as much pressure and
16414s applying all of it on on to both the
16416s Genji and the Anna separately to
16418s intentionally drive a wedge between them
16420s because they have seen and witnessed and
16423s struggled against the nanoblade matchup
16426s for every single time we've seen them
16428s before this match they know that the win
16431s condition for the other side is the
16432s nanoblade and they are doing everything
16435s in their power to stop it from aligning
16437s it's so smart coming through from this
16439s team well we'll have to see if they can
16441s keep it up obviously at that map point
16444s but before we see that next map before
16446s we see if Timeless can make that 3-1
16448s Victory we're going to go to a short
16449s break so when we come back we'll see you
16451s guys for map number
16457s [Music]

16639s welcome back everybody to the radiant
16640s Heroes major three upper bracket finals
16643s at the moment we have Michael wave
16645s versus Timeless theal and microwave back
16648s backs are against the wall after surasa
16651s that last game went all Timeless
16653s ethereal just absolute dominant
16655s performance for them they're looking to
16656s close it out right here on this map
16658s number four
16659s Moxy yeah it's definitely going to be a
16662s little bit of an uphill battle as well
16663s because microwave like they have been
16666s able to beat Timeless aeral in the past
16668s but a lot of it was off of Timeless
16670s aeral struggling against this Genji and
16672s doomfist mixup you can see that they
16675s have seen some of these teams picking
16677s that composition and they have been
16679s working at being able to counter it not
16682s just one way but by multiple we've seen
16684s the echo we've seen the somra we've seen
16686s BN go on to Tracer and just decide to
16689s entirely disrupt the cycle that the
16692s Genji and Anna are trying to put up
16695s together this next map is going to be
16697s coloso it's really interesting to see
16699s what exactly time aeral are going to opt
16702s into because surely they know that
16705s potentially they're going up against
16706s that dest Genji once again yeah and you
16710s know if you're them I mean you you got
16712s to feel solid about it too right it
16714s feels like Timeless are kind of
16715s countering the composition I don't know
16716s if it's due to soe potentially not
16721s getting the value that she wants out of
16722s the Genji like what what do you think
16724s the reasoning is behind this stom fist
16726s comp not working as well because you
16727s know obviously it's tough right like
16729s so's got to be that carry Genji but also
16732s your backline needs to play aggressive
16734s and then if they're getting shut out by
16735s sniper like what do you do you know well
16738s it was working for them if you remember
16740s they'd won the first fight on surasa the
16744s problem is they're just not really able
16746s to OU any of the kills afterwards
16748s because time aeral they see okay we've
16750s lost the first fight we don't have the
16752s Lucio we're going to back off gracefully
16754s we know that we can't afford to try and
16756s keep applying this pressure because the
16757s sigma without that Lucio is going to be
16760s way too easy for the dive to be able to
16762s jump on and as a result they play the
16765s long con it feels a lot of the time like
16768s wave when they see those instances they
16771s sort of have a lot of understanding on
16774s when to go right we saw the ant need
16776s come through from agmr it was hitting
16778s multiple people the reaction and
16781s coordination from Michael wave as a team
16783s was instantaneous which is exactly what
16785s you wanted to be nari would punch in zo
16788s would go for the dash either of them
16790s would be able to pick up some of those
16792s kills onto Timeless aeral side but the
16795s problem was after that initial kill
16797s there was never really any followup and
16800s a huge part of that was time with saal
16802s just coming through and disrupting any
16804s coordination afterwards now that we head
16806s on to push if Timeless aeral are able to
16809s continue disrupting this coordination
16811s cycle between microwave it's going to be
16813s really hard for this team to recover I
16815s like that that was great analysis I
16817s think Timeless theor re was kind of
16819s playing like uh maybe like this like
16821s defensive boxer like purposely playing
16823s the range it was so smart from them and
16826s and now Timeless zero going to have bun
16827s back on that Tracer a consistent Factor
16829s then however you know difference for
16831s microwave here Moxy they're having Mari
16832s run the winst yeah Mari on the Winston
16835s going to have a little bit more
16836s protection right when she Dives in it
16838s puts a little bit less pressure onto
16840s agmr to always hold line of side onto
16843s tank Halo going incredibly low the
16845s target of that dive they're trying to
16847s bait Z into using that immortality field
16849s a little bit too early but as a result
16851s microwave able to get a lot of distance
16853s already picked up as de trying to build
16855s up the AL fire on the soan racing
16858s against wisps try and find that first
16860s yeah they're lagging behind the heels at
16862s the moment right I mean wi and agmr are
16863s going to have to really carry this team
16865s back into it and they're doing so so
16868s far also utility used from sniper so
16872s maybe AAR can go for an anti grenade
16874s onto them and find the kill Nano Winston
16877s though Nano Winston that's why Mari is
16879s going in aggressively yet again like I
16882s said it's the Temple of anua strategy is
16884s that a creation from sniper almost did
16887s ajm directly Inari going forward Z's
16890s able to find the kill as well on to whsp
16893s I mean that was perfect for Michael wave
16895s they played patient able to find the
16897s re-engage and through that they're able
16899s to win this fight I mean they played
16901s aggressive originally but came back
16903s you're able to fend off
16904s Timeless but because they played
16906s aggressive agmr got to rock it up to
16908s that Nano charge Mari knows that she can
16910s go that aggressive because she has the
16912s bubble to be able to fall back on if
16913s time was aerial try and chase after the
16916s winon knowing that the cool down is
16917s going to be off they run directly into
16920s death sign of sight and you do not run
16921s directly into middle of coloso because
16924s that's is set up and looking to snipe
16927s Michael wave got the Nano and as well as
16930s the overclock coming up a consistent
16931s play for them has been that Nano
16933s overclock however Halo's able to find
16935s dead off of I'm assuming some assistance
16938s but there's no assistance in the kill
16939s feed so whisp gets dwia as well I mean
16942s microwave their planes are just falling
16944s apart off of a nice rail gun shot from
16946s wisp secondly but also Halo with the
16949s opening kill yeah and Bun yet again
16952s making sure that none of microwave are
16955s able to infiltrate into that back line
16957s patrolling with that pulse bomb to deter
16959s any potential dive and forward
16961s aggression coming through from either
16963s the Winston or the Genji as a result
16965s time zal are able to post whisps up onto
16968s The High Ground to stop microwave from
16970s being able to contest and they're going
16971s to be able to pick up the maximum
16974s distance they take the lead because Halo
16976s keeps pushing the objective and it's a
16977s trade to one for one on the top side no
16980s ultimates Ed besides that P spawn both
16983s teams giving each other a ton of respect
16984s here right
16985s space has been given Timeless back up
16988s overclock from Death able to find Halo
16990s on the retreat soie also finds bun so
16992s even though Timeless were able to find
16994s an edge it appears they're going to lose
16996s it unless something crazy happens but oh
16999s my God what a shot from death and the Z
17001s coming back from Spawn that's why you
17003s don't just waste your Exo boost sadly
17005s for Z going down there results in kind
17008s of becoming a bit of a feeder as Michael
17010s wave now take the edge potentially Z was
17012s trying to use the exibit to get an angle
17015s snip no there was nothing there was
17017s there was no reason the sigma was
17020s separated okay there was no
17022s reason I have TR Michael coming into
17026s this next fight with four ultimates Nano
17029s boost and blade available for this team
17031s but Halo can immediately shut it down
17033s sound it comes no it doesn't come
17036s through Zoomie with the dash points
17038s soluo and Halo just doesn't have the
17040s time she can't commit to the sound
17041s barrier yeah now going to have to come
17043s back from Spawn
17045s it's a great opening kill now whis
17047s trying to come back eiz with the
17048s overclock able to find wi who is
17050s rallying in that fight sniper also finds
17052s AJ and through the ant Matrix surely
17054s they have the damage and they do so they
17057s reclaim that robot even though they're
17059s down in meters they're going to have a
17060s neutral fight again against Michael way
17063s they've got sound barrier as well Silver
17065s Lining that Genji blade all of its focus
17068s was directed onto Halo to stop the Sound
17070s fire as a result Timeless aeral had the
17073s time to be able to scatter keep an eye
17074s on Bon she's looking for that
17076s infiltration yet again playing an off
17078s angle to keep the pressure on the back
17080s line one is pressured out though a
17083s microwave that's a lot of resources
17084s committed just to go deal with on so
17087s could give them an edge here as we're
17089s nearing that 5 minutes halfway through
17091s the map angle bun again over the top W
17094s just immediately goes to deal with it
17095s uses all cool Downs against this Tracer
17098s seems like there's leaving wick on an
17099s island versus Tracer be drop engaged as
17101s well from Halo Timeless want to go
17102s aggressive with it foring that for Mari
17105s is the objective of Timeless at the
17107s moment because that's a lot of the kill
17108s potential for M butn as well with this
17110s poke able to get even more damage
17112s through and Mari d goes down oh my God
17114s before they can even use the Primal wage
17116s but can now drops down thinking they can
17117s maybe get some kills here but the
17119s disruptor shot just deletes the so the
17121s brigita of Michael wave and now Timeless
17125s ethereal pushed the robot in they now
17127s have the edge they also up three people
17129s in this fight Zoe dashes in why would
17131s you do that be in this fight again
17134s microwave yeah oh my gosh that's stagger
17138s it's stagger they're trickling into
17140s these fights one by one time of saer
17143s going to continue it as long as possible
17145s because they're getting so much free
17147s distance and time removed off of the
17150s back of it with the power slide able to
17153s cut Michael wave off before they're able
17154s to disengage Mario now jumping in has
17156s that Primal still available death
17158s getting the nanab boo with the overclock
17160s goes into the back when aggressively
17162s finds one finds two both supports remov
17164s this is a fight one for microwave but at
17167s what costs Dustin they lost so much
17170s distance they had to use so much to be
17172s able to brute for the W spawn at least
17175s they've still got the Primal to sustain
17177s this next fight long enough yeah that
17179s that's going to be ultimate I think that
17181s uh microwaves got to be happy they held
17183s on to at least and you're right they did
17184s commit a lot with that one with the Nano
17186s and then the overclock Timeless still
17188s have some good old to work with too but
17190s they you can use the Primal to to sort
17193s of face tank the over block coming
17195s through from wisps it was a play that a
17197s lot of winstons actually used when so
17198s was first released yeah now Mari goes in
17201s get some space to AJ to go for that an
17202s grenade he sniper but the Shield's there
17205s he's immediately or they immediately met
17207s on the top side Mori has to back out of
17209s there too so Primal Rage not getting a
17210s ton of value now the rally engage but
17212s they lose Zoe again BN what a critical
17215s Kill from them and the rally is not able
17217s to find the damage wi's side robot still
17221s trying to get forward I mean they know
17223s they're in a really rough fight at the
17225s moment so they're just trying to get as
17226s much space r bit as possible bun is
17228s there to stop it right I mean the macro
17230s from Timeless is too clean the soour
17233s Falls death Falls in that fight bun that
17236s also whis with the overclock able to get
17238s WIA so they actually don't even have to
17239s use too much to clean up microwave H
17243s yeah they pin the microwave position
17245s amplification Matrix on one angle with
17248s with the overclock attached on the other
17251s and microwave there are two doors
17253s available to them but un fortunately
17254s both lead to death Timeless a like you
17257s said able to hold on to Ultimate in that
17259s fight as well bun still with the pul
17261s plum still in the infiltration on the
17263s off angle pulse bom comes through and
17265s picks up wicker ajmr too far from the
17268s Nano boost to save the brck oh my God I
17271s mean what do they do at this point right
17274s they got a Dry Blade close to the Nano
17276s but death is down so with the Nano boost
17279s or ajmr with the Nano boost ready to go
17281s in with zo but they lose again more
17283s targets they're going to have to back up
17284s 2 minutes left
17286s here so much distance the time AAL are
17289s picking up they're still holding on to
17291s the flux they're going to be able to use
17292s it to connect on the Genji but Halo now
17295s gets enough time to be able to utilize a
17297s sound barrier Mari goes off of the
17299s Winston onto the Doom to be able to get
17301s back into these fights a little bit F
17303s potentially for some of these players
17305s time F off of the Hy we see the blade we
17307s see the Nano what does it find so he
17309s gets
17310s nothing maybe is expecting Z there to be
17313s in the back line but finally able to get
17314s some kills due to Timeless playing from
17317s so split I guess that goes to sh that
17319s you really can't counter the nanoade
17320s engage without a support Al there Halo
17323s holding on to that they at least get to
17324s come back through and they still have a
17326s big Advantage with that meters those
17328s meters timel aerial hold on to the alts
17330s they know that they have the advantage
17332s in terms of distance they know that
17333s they've pressured microwave enough into
17336s utilizing the ultimate combo that aeral
17339s have historically in this tournament run
17342s struggled against and they're going to
17345s have Sigma flux B and sound bar for
17348s sustain and aggression all they have to
17351s deal with is a rally overclock is f with
17353s the pulse bomb delays microwaves contest
17356s even longer that's at least the takeway
17358s that microwave could be happy with
17360s pushing the cart gives soe that space to
17362s take out whisp one trying to deal with
17366s the Tracer of bun or sorry Wicked trying
17368s to give the Tracer bun meanwhile on the
17369s outside and they still have a lot of the
17371s space right Zoe got that opening kill
17374s can can they find any more sniper on the
17375s low ground they just able to back up
17377s right it doesn't seem like microwave is
17379s able to take advantage here death with
17381s the overclock can they find the kills
17383s just an immortality field for now do
17385s they take that just an overclock her
17387s immortality field that's not got to be a
17388s good trade doesn't know what BN is yeah
17391s can't find B not like 50% of the
17393s overclock was being utilized to make
17395s sure the Tracer wasn't flanking crew and
17396s as a result they don't have it to play
17398s aggressive and stop time playma blocks
17402s towards the K already drops down but
17404s balls to sniper the Poke too much 7
17407s seconds left Michael wave without
17408s doomfist what do they do n boost on to
17411s Zoe but it's against a beat drop in the
17413s rest of Timeless committing the every
17415s single ultimate I don't think there's
17417s much microwave could do at this point
17418s Timeless ethereal have cemented
17420s themselves in this upper bracket finals
17423s they're going to beat Michael wave three
17425s to one and move to the Grand
17428s finals sniper honestly really impressed
17431s has to be the MVP for me coming in with
17433s that s
17434s able to find the accretion in the second
17436s to last fight microwave are posturing up
17438s for a dive they've got Zoe going through
17441s the underneath of the building to try
17444s and push off of all of that disruption
17446s cus by Mari but NRE actually connects
17449s onto the doomfest and as a result the
17451s Genji isn't able to commit in and has to
17453s back on off and that hesitation never
17456s helps a dive composition if you're
17458s hesitating but you're already in an off
17460s angle to try and jump in off of
17462s something created by the rest of your
17464s team you're entirely split away from
17467s them and as a result Timeless ofal even
17469s though they didn't find kills off of the
17471s stun they still get to take a fight
17473s where they have a numbers advantage and
17475s they just steamroll over that dive it
17478s looks entirely different to the match up
17481s when we saw these two teams go
17482s head-to-head last time yeah I mean that
17484s was really fantastic from Timeless
17486s ethereal really good team overall right
17489s I mean this these guys have been
17490s performing at such a high level for so
17493s long right I mean even though Mich wave
17496s were always throwing that counter punch
17497s right consistently coming back keeping
17499s it close eventually the dam just broke
17501s MOX in Timeless cerio were just able to
17503s rush on
17505s through a huge part of it was fun with
17507s this one angle every single time she
17511s would be playing on the underside of
17513s ramp and like you said Michael wave
17515s would commit three out of five plays to
17519s try to deal with this Tracer and it just
17521s left Mari absolutely no sus
17524s even though you're on the Winston and
17525s you have that bubble to give yourself a
17527s little bit more downtime to be able to
17529s drop in and try and find that safer
17531s disengagement or stick in the front line
17533s a little bit longer so your Anna doesn't
17535s feel that same insane amount of pressure
17537s if you don't have a support to be able
17539s to fall back on to that bubble is not
17542s going to be lasting long especially
17544s against all of the burst potential that
17546s we've already talked about right you're
17548s running into a sojan if that alt fire is
17551s available and that Winston bubble is
17553s removed that Winston is going to be
17555s following very shortly after Timeless
17558s aerial a very smart team going to show
17561s that they may have struggled in the past
17563s against the Genji but they've gone back
17566s to the drawing board and they've worked
17567s out multiple solutions to it now and
17570s they have I mean they got to feel good
17571s going to the Grand finals um but we have
17573s one more match for you guys later today
17575s also we have some more around the corner
17577s in the me time we're going a short break
17579s when we come back we'll break everything
17580s down see you guys in just a
17583s bit

17779s welcome back everybody that was an
17781s interesting matchup there for Timeless
17783s ethereal versus likes of Michael wave I
17786s think it was interesting because there
17788s were expectations here right Michael
17790s wave last time these two teams faced off
17792s their dog wi was able to take take them
17794s two and0 within the Swiss stage but it
17795s seems like thess ethereal have
17797s definitely done their homework oh yeah I
17799s mean it it was a little worrisome I
17800s think map number one after we watched it
17803s however coming back through they just
17804s kind of found their their groove after
17808s after Midtown and it was just so
17810s consistent from there on out I don't
17811s think there was much microwave could
17812s have done with that composition and
17814s that's got to feel pretty hard
17816s especially since now they're going to
17817s have to make that lower bracket
17818s run that's a it's a difficult one to
17821s make I think the lower bracket's going
17823s to be pretty interesting I know that
17824s Vancouver Titans blue actually finally
17826s made their way through and broke that
17828s fifth sixth place Cur so exciting for
17829s them but focusing back on this match up
17832s here what was the key piece I know
17834s sniper went absolutely mad on the sigma
17837s there Moxy within this previous series
17839s but previously we saw difficulties last
17842s time these teams faced off where time
17843s was ethereal couldn't really break down
17845s that dive composition coming out from
17847s Michael wave this time a different
17849s story yeah they were really smart they
17852s actually had multiple solutions to to
17853s the same problem and as a result
17855s microwave never really got to fully feel
17858s comfortable in predicting how they would
17861s be counted if you become too predictable
17863s and OverWatch it becomes a huge
17864s detriment because a lot of the time the
17866s teams have such a good understanding of
17867s where you're going to be playing what
17868s your win conditioners they can
17870s immediately as soon as a match begins
17872s take just moves to be able to counter it
17875s entirely but this time the shoe was on
17877s the other foot microwave were the ones
17880s being incredibly predictable you knew
17881s that you were running up against the
17883s Genji you knew that you were running up
17884s against the Doom firstest they didn't
17885s have any of the information that
17888s Timeless aerial had and as a result you
17890s saw Bond every single time we went to
17892s that overhead map view she was moving
17894s into position she was harassing she was
17896s making sure that Michael wave were just
17898s losing more and more time and having to
17900s commit more and more resources just into
17902s dealing with just fighting the ghost of
17904s a tracer's presence a lot of the time
17906s she wouldn't actually be there you even
17908s saw the entirety of the overclock just
17911s being held in position with definitely
17912s like the Tracer here the Tracer there
17914s where's the
17915s Tracer and as a result all of the
17917s momentum that the dive composition was
17919s looking to be able to put forward and
17922s take into Advantage because dive is a
17925s very uh momentum based composition where
17927s you're able to find one kill and roll it
17929s into a second iner until you're able to
17931s just steamroll over a lot of those
17933s bunker style playes none of that ever
17936s got off the starting blocks it's uh it's
17939s important to run uh run those Tracer
17941s distraction tactics for sure to be able
17942s to pick apart that back line and uh keep
17944s that chip on your shoulders but we've
17946s also got the Chipotle match MVP speaking
17949s of chips if you guys are thinking about
17951s nachos let's see who it's G to be here
17953s for the side of uh the side of uh oh my
17957s goodness
17958s Timeless I can't even speak right now e
17963s ethereal wisps went absolutely mad
17967s especially on that sojourn we saw so
17969s much poke happening so much damage so
17972s much value coming from this place docman
17974s yeah I 100% wisp is I mean you could
17977s really get give it to anybody on this
17978s team you know we were talking about bun
17980s earlier sniper wisp is well had such
17982s consistent performances with their
17984s overclocks and then also just having the
17986s support of Z and Halo is another
17988s additive bonus this this soj player for
17991s Timeless has been so good and so
17994s consistent to the tournament I think
17995s that death really was doing their
17997s hardest to to match them and they were
17999s at points but realistically whis is one
18002s of the best sojourn if not the best in
18004s the entire tournament so consistent of a
18007s srum player we saw it just the final
18008s blows has been an absolute important
18011s stability piece for this team that's a
18014s big part of it but we also get to call
18016s into an interview here again with
18018s another player on Timeless ethereal it's
18021s gonna be Z this time around Z
18024s congratulations on this win and uh
18027s managing to find yourselves in the grand
18028s finals as the first Grand finalist here
18030s for the last major here within coling
18033s all heroes how are you
18035s feeling uh thank you thank you I'm
18037s feeling good uh we played two pretty
18039s good teams today and they weren't easy
18042s series by any means but I feel like we
18044s learned a lot as a team and we kept
18046s talking and second series especially we
18048s really locked in and were able to like I
18052s think play some really good OverWatch so
18054s I'm happy yeah no you guys definitely
18057s played some bang and OverWatch within
18059s this series I'm kind of curious about
18061s how things went for the team how
18064s discussions went leading up to this
18066s weekend within playoffs because you guys
18068s did fall to Michael wave during the
18070s Swiss stage last week and was it
18073s discussions throughout the week about
18075s okay this is how they like to play they
18077s like to play a little bit more divy and
18079s counter strating that or were you guys
18081s more so going on the Fly and just seeing
18084s how they're playing today in
18087s particular uh so yeah I think that loss
18090s during Swiss stage kind of rattled us
18093s and we were like wow you know this
18094s season is going to be harder we need to
18096s lock in a little bit more and we also
18098s made in my opinion a pretty big error
18100s when we played them in Swiss we matched
18101s them on Doom comp when we had never
18104s practiced Doom comp as a team uh we kind
18106s of just were like oh we're better
18108s players we can just beat them through
18109s like you know learning on the Fly and I
18112s think that like ego kind of costed us
18115s during the Swiss so yeah this week we
18118s really practiced against Doom comp and
18119s you know how
18121s to like live as Sig comp cuz we didn't
18124s want to we didn't want to uh switch up
18126s our Sig comp because we're all on you
18128s know like our best heroes you know so uh
18131s just that practice really
18133s helped no I'll noted on that I mean it's
18136s all about being able to play your game
18138s at the end of the day when you're
18140s playing OverWatch ensuring that you guys
18141s are comfortable and able to adapt more
18144s on the fly in that kind of sense but uh
18146s I think justtin has a quick question for
18148s you as well while we're here oh yeah I
18150s mean see you played perfectly I think in
18152s that series and for you I think you
18154s changed up your play style throughout it
18156s on that segma like I think on colosio
18158s you played like aggressive and at one
18160s point Zoe like lost you was that on
18162s purpose were you like mixing and
18164s matching how you played that Baptist
18165s throughout the series because on top of
18167s that your cooldown usage was really
18169s really good just trying to deal with
18170s also uh the Winston Dives was this on
18173s purpose your overall play style and the
18175s changes that
18176s happened um like not intentionally but
18179s I'm sure subconsciously like especially
18181s on Bap you have to
18184s um into dive comps you have to like take
18186s every inch that's given to you you have
18188s to use all your cool Downs uh
18191s defensively and then once you live their
18192s dive you can start like shooting back
18194s basically and so as soon as we live
18196s their Dives that's when I start looking
18197s for aggressive opportunities and I think
18201s I don't know I think I just got lucky a
18202s lot of times uh my cool Downs were
18204s hidden I didn't really miss any lamps
18206s but um yeah I
18209s think I I think it's just
18212s subconsciously
18214s well speaking then about using a lot of
18217s like defensive cooldowns what is your
18219s communication with sniper like because
18222s obviously that dive composition if they
18223s see the sigma they're going to want to
18225s run through both of your cool Downs as
18227s quickly as possible but a lot of the
18229s time we would see sniper getting that
18230s pressure and potentially even going down
18233s but the team would still be able to win
18234s the fight
18236s overall so into Doom comp uh they
18240s basically either have to look at me or
18242s look at sniper and I think a lot of the
18244s damage that they do to sniper as long as
18247s he's in my line of sight so I can heal
18248s him with like my biotic launcher as long
18251s as I can do that it's like fake damage
18253s basically like they aren't going to kill
18254s him you know they're kind of wasting
18256s their time and so it just forces their
18258s hand a lot and I think
18262s uh yeah I think it's just really easy to
18264s play a game like that I always tell
18267s sniper whenever I don't have cooldowns
18269s and then make sure that he's always in
18270s my losos and basically what he just has
18272s to do is hold off their backline with
18274s Shield um because as soon as the Anna
18276s can't heal their Doom it's really easy
18278s to shoot him and like that's when the
18280s damage is permanent you
18283s know good stuff good stuff overall you
18285s love to hear about all the calms that go
18287s on within the team and whatnot um we're
18289s not going to keep you here too much
18291s longer I know it's been a long day for
18292s you guys within the tournament thus far
18296s but one last question before we end up
18298s heading out I actually got to know I'm
18300s not sure which part of the world that
18302s you're situated in right now but uh for
18305s the Chipotle Real Talk interview I
18307s wouldn't be wrapping it up unless I
18308s asked you what your typical Chipotle
18310s order is or would
18312s be uh so I like to get rice no beans
18316s chicken queso some veggies shredded
18319s cheese and then like green salsa is like
18322s my go-to sometimes I'll switch it up a
18324s little bit but that's like the
18326s standard very solid order yeah that
18328s sounds good I'm hungry now to be honest
18332s but um and then one last thing here Z if
18335s you're still here I just wanted to give
18337s you one last chance to give any thank
18338s yous or shout outs here before we head
18341s off um I just want to thank my team you
18343s know always learning not really getting
18345s tilted at each other even though it's
18347s like a harder season uh like learning
18350s and developing as players is always so
18352s fun especially in a cohesive unit so I
18354s just want to thank them for playing
18356s really strong and playing really hard
18358s the entire
18359s day well it's awesome just to be able to
18361s see you guys adapt from last week to
18364s this week even though the competition is
18366s starting to get so close between all
18368s these teams here within calling all
18370s heroes Radiance Heroes but a big thank
18372s you Z for taking the time to do this
18374s interview with us rest up tonight and
18376s good luck on tomorrow's games thank you
18379s so much see you
18382s then okay what a nice interview
18388s yeah I mean it's really nice to hear
18390s that there's a clean line of
18391s communication between the Baptist and
18393s the sigma a lot of the time if there's a
18395s disconnect between the two running dead
18397s Sigma whose sole job a lot of the time
18399s is hold off the dive so everyone else
18401s gets to survive without any of its
18404s attention diverted its way does mean
18406s that the team can crumble between that
18408s Deus and the Genji so lovely to hear
18410s that they identified very quickly okay
18413s we can't go into this match up with egos
18415s we have to play what's comfortable to us
18417s so that we can stop what's comfortable
18418s to
18419s them no that is for sure but we do have
18423s some more calling all heroes pending for
18425s you guys Challengers might be done for
18427s Saturday thus far but Rising is still
18431s pending here within the stream so you
18434s guys can stay tuned because we will have
18435s the upper finals between Fable Rising
18437s versus lfs
18439s 4.5k right on the other side of this

18753s welcome back everybody to calling all
18754s heroes radiant Heroes major 3 we've
18757s wrapped up with Challengers upper
18759s bracket for today but heading into the
18762s rising bracket we're going to take a
18763s look to see how that's panned out as
18766s it's been going on concurrently as today
18768s has and for this final that we're going
18771s to be seeing here on stream Fable Rising
18773s versus lfs
18775s 4.5k I mean Dogman how are you feeling
18777s about how this bracket has actually
18779s played out I mean it it seems like it's
18781s been pretty close throughout the entire
18783s time right and that's what you like to
18784s see out of this you know Rising Heroes
18786s tournament it's it's so much fun
18788s watching you know these players that
18790s don't usually get the opportunity to
18791s play at a at a high level you know
18792s compete in these tournaments for a prize
18794s pool um you know we could talk about
18796s that all day but you know I do think
18798s this match up between table Rising lfs
18799s is going to be very good and it's always
18801s such a unique perspective on the game
18803s that we don't get otherwise it really is
18806s and I love the fact that it's just the
18807s amount of teams doubled since the last
18810s time that Rising had come to yeah last
18812s time it was like four teams had signed
18814s up I think and this time around it was
18816s nine teams that actually signed up for
18818s Rising so it's it's big things like it
18820s doesn't seem like a lot maybe but
18823s realistically it's the opportunity to
18825s again get those reps in and then
18827s hopefully eventually grind up to the
18829s point where you're able to play Within
18831s the main Challenger circuit there
18833s Moxy yeah I mean having that upwards
18835s puff is is really good for a lot of
18837s these players it gives them that sort of
18839s confidence as well as sense of security
18841s lovely to as well not just the amount of
18844s teams that is increased we're also
18845s getting to see a lot of these teams
18847s having Academy teams coming through from
18849s our major teams in the Challenger Series
18851s so already you can start to see the sort
18854s of path to Pro establishing itself here
18857s in calling all heres which is great
18859s because it means that you're already
18860s connected to those teams being able to
18861s make the jump from the rising series
18864s into the official Challenger Series is
18865s going to be a lot easier for a lot of
18867s these players absolutely massive to have
18869s those pipelines but to introduce the
18871s first froster here with within Fable
18872s Rising I mean this squad has looked
18876s pretty consistent throughout the event
18878s thus far Dogman yeah they have been and
18880s they're going to have to keep that up if
18882s they want to win today obviously right I
18883s mean by the way look the managers of
18885s fable is is wi one of the one of the
18887s players that we literally just watched
18889s that's that's really fun too because I
18891s mean I I was running a team at one point
18893s not well hopefully wi is actually doing
18894s a lot of work helping out fa Rising so
18897s this team has like you said been
18898s consistent and I'm just looking forward
18900s to watching them and casting for the
18902s first time because they're really you
18904s know a potentially unique team compared
18905s to everything we've watched so far today
18907s especially since it's all been
18908s Challenger Series no for sure um not
18911s gonna lie I am rooting for fable Rising
18913s a bit more here this time around Casey
18916s on the DPS one of my friends from the
18919s Esports scene in general she does like
18921s observing for multiple games within the
18922s scene and it's really cool to see her
18924s actually like now get this opportunity
18926s to compete but we've also got to flip it
18928s over to the other team who they're going
18930s to be facing off against LF s
18933s 4.5k tell us a little bit about this
18935s squad
18936s Moxy yeah I'm honestly really hoping
18938s that we're going to see some insane
18940s Niche matchups coming through from all
18942s of these players something that we do
18944s have to talk about is the fact that this
18946s is going to be played on live as a
18949s result that doomfist that sandwich maker
18951s is currently teasing she could very well
18954s be logging on to it although I feel like
18957s since it is going to be live we need to
18958s sort of ever so slightly edit the symbol
18962s of role that doomfist has and you know
18964s just just give it a little bit of a half
18965s shield and a little bit of a half
18967s support cross because he now heals in
18970s the ultimate and that is absolutely
18973s terrifying to think about for how long
18975s you can be up there 75 heels per second
18978s is insane no yeah I just can't believe
18982s how how much they buffed tanks in the
18984s recent patch I mean this is going to be
18986s as you said this is the tank gig I hate
18988s it I hate it as a support player what
18991s the heck man like what we doing out here
18992s buff buffing tanks this much it's just
18994s my slight rant doesn't we we've had our
18997s patches okay we we've had KIRO we've had
18999s a lot
19000s not I'm not disagreeing supports AR op
19003s but we don't need to buff tanks man like
19005s Jesus I don't know hey're the different
19009s T that they buffed you know tra traca
19012s got a a Nifty little buff too so yeah I
19015s mean that that character is always like
19017s you know a patch or two between being
19018s broken and and underpowered right yeah
19021s you're not wrong you're definitely not
19022s wrong but we got to move on to the maps
19024s here you guys have all the time to talk
19026s about these Heroes within the game
19027s itself but heading over to control it's
19030s going to be Busan coming up next year
19032s Moxy how are you feeling about the map
19034s pick I'm anticipating a lot of dive I'm
19036s I'm very happy I'm anticipating a lot of
19039s dive even at Challenger Series when
19040s they're not playing on live they've
19041s still been running the doomfist on buan
19044s and a lot of it I feel is anticipation
19046s of this moment because doomfist as
19049s Dustin has said has been significantly
19051s bed
19052s well I'm G to have to say goodbye to you
19054s guys and I'm excited to see how going on
19056s to this live patch ends up handing out
19058s here for these Rising squads you two
19060s take it
19061s away thank you Ash I appreciate it I'm
19063s sure she's also glad to leave us too
19065s because uh you know obviously we're bit
19067s on his we to just start up an entire Dev
19069s talk we we are I mean I feel I feel like
19072s me and you have a lot of like good
19073s disagreements about patches in this game
19075s and it results in um some it's really
19078s funny so cuz we're both support Ms yeah
19081s I mean it it's it's it's very I mean
19084s supports are really strong in this game
19086s too because I mean the main thing the
19087s main thing is Moxy like the the selfield
19090s right I mean that is huge that that that
19092s pass it's so strong it's I think is it
19095s the strongest passive in the game it
19096s must be right I mean I would say the
19099s tanks uh getting less knock back is also
19102s pretty significant right if you think
19104s about the amount of times that you have
19105s to sort of approach a lot of these
19107s tricky chokes that have environmentals
19110s especially since we have so many
19111s characters that have
19113s knockbacks we're seeing the dog again I
19115s love I love seeing that dog by the
19117s way as the front I know is bit
19119s distraction but yeah both teams like you
19122s said we're probably going to see some of
19123s that dive coming through um you know and
19126s in depending on you know obviously the
19128s ranks of the players it can really
19130s change how you play that dive right it's
19131s I feel like depending on the level of
19134s OverWatch that we're playing it always
19136s can change to be a bit more
19137s individualistic compared to you know
19139s maybe some of the higher rank players
19141s that play
19142s very very coordinated together and if
19144s you're not then it can get really scy
19147s yeah especially if we're going to see
19148s both of these teams lock the May there
19150s are a lot of fights that you can take on
19152s downtown buan in the open where if
19154s you're able to kite the other team the
19156s May loses a lot of that power okay yeah
19158s there we go we're seeing the M because
19160s it's not downtown I got baited by the
19163s overhead view it's actually going to be
19166s Mecha base as a result every fight that
19168s you take here becomes a lot harder to be
19171s able to Dodge around the strength of the
19173s mayol with how this map has
19175s been the left
19177s side able to setting up their
19181s dojour building up towards those rail
19183s gun shots nice wall from duck from lfs
19187s still walled off in fact just waiting up
19189s the full cool down both may walls really
19192s doing a lot of work there meanwhile lfs
19193s are the on to go aggressive first s
19195s maker going aggressive hit by the but
19197s nice imortality to keep him healthy but
19199s again those those May walls get so so
19201s much value willowron and the rest of fa
19204s Rising just able off that amazing May
19207s wall to just run over lfs and get the
19209s objective first it was not just the M
19212s it's also the fact that Willow was able
19213s to pressure with the endic Blaster and
19216s force Lam into using the immortality
19218s field a lot earlier than Fable Rising as
19222s a result when Sage maker gets walled off
19224s yet again with it cycling back into cool
19226s down no one on lfs is able to peel for
19229s the remates well was just waiting for
19231s lfs has to walk through the choke are
19233s they going to spot the maze position
19235s otherwise it's going to be another dead
19237s for a match because that choke the
19239s ceiling is so low you can't use the EXO
19241s boots to jump over the wall and lamp on
19243s top of it look lfs is splitting up they
19246s sent actually the Lucio and soour an off
19248s angle so oh there's the May wall they
19252s break through it this time though Sage
19253s maker gets the immortality field after
19255s it now the gratic flux comes through
19257s perfect Al rotation I don't think lfs
19260s can deal with it they do find one soer
19263s move for fable Rising however it just
19265s might be too far too late leel is able
19268s to find the followup kills and Fable
19270s Rising now across the 50% margin you can
19272s definitely see the influence coming
19274s through from a player like wicker right
19275s like you said the cycling of those
19277s abilities from Fable is perfect Willow
19279s with the wo forces lfs into using all of
19282s the burst damage maker already having to
19283s use the nesis form to be able to block
19285s and sustain for the damage immortality
19287s field gets invested as a result sleepy
19289s eel knows that they're free to use the
19290s sigma plug as LFX will drop in the
19293s amplification Matrix but Willow another
19296s huge play comes in with the blizzard to
19298s stop any momentum the great beat
19301s re-engage damage Staying Alive getting
19303s the heals from their
19305s supports as well they're able to go
19307s aggressive off B it did Force the beat
19309s drop out of that go was a bit delayed
19311s and Willow hits the head shot what a
19313s shot from them no longer they have a Lo
19316s in this fight so the speed ain't there
19317s and lfs are just going to wipe but
19319s they're dying with ultimates 90% on the
19321s board
19322s this is going to be a weird West or it
19323s just might not happen oh and they
19327s stole they had blizzard we're going to
19330s see the overclock invested from Fable
19332s the amplification Matrix yeah lfs just
19334s weren't able to
19336s touch no I communication potentially
19339s being an issue there is you have to use
19342s something it was a lost team fight
19344s regardless but maybe you want to toss
19346s out something I mean at this point
19348s you're saving ultimates for next map and
19350s it doesn't work like that in this game
19352s oxy no when you swap a hero on you know
19355s the map that you're playing you do
19357s retain all charge but unfortunately not
19358s when we swap map TPS as we can have a
19360s look at the stats Willow coming in doing
19362s only 1,900 damage but here's the thing
19365s eight eliminations one death because
19367s Fable Rising were able to win the first
19369s fight they immediately get all of the
19371s Power with the m composition and just
19372s holding choke that's crazy two they only
19375s had two deaths yeah two deaths Moxy that
19378s entire round I mean you could believe it
19380s but that's still crazy
19381s think about how much lfs had to invest
19384s just to break through the choke
19385s everything was immediately used before
19387s the fight had even started as yet again
19389s Fable Rising with the May looking to wo
19391s lfs off I mean all that damage coming
19395s through on lfs they have to walk out low
19397s HP immortality field keeping them alive
19399s it seems to be a consistent factor is
19402s that immortality
19404s field
19406s lammer Willow rotates around this left
19408s side walled off away from sleepy but
19410s nice immortality field on their front
19413s line from the Baptist keeps them healthy
19415s for now his ultimates are been built up
19417s on both sides no D just yet whole team
19421s kind of just trading off damage damage
19422s goes low and sleepy heels with the
19424s accretion finds the opening blow duck
19427s Falls to knowing things are pretty much
19429s just lost at that point rest the fa will
19432s rotate towards that point and are surely
19433s going to C here the interesting thing
19436s lfs should be finding way more value
19439s with dark on the May in comparison to
19440s Willow when you look at the tank match
19442s up right we've talked about it Sigma the
19445s kinetic grasp does not actually stop the
19448s May primary but fa Rising are doing such
19450s a good job at controlling the distance
19452s with the Poke coming through from the
19453s soier main Sigma that duck is never in
19456s the forward position to be able to use
19457s the primary and precious
19461s CPS Point holding Rising ready and they
19464s don't even need it e was able to find
19466s samage off of some damage from the soj
19470s and now L just this back up for now Mark
19472s it was the wall yet again Sage maker
19474s move for a choke did not have the Lucio
19477s speed boost caugh wed off from the rest
19479s of her team and Fable Rising yet again
19481s win a fight with one cool down still
19485s holding on to this choke lamth again hav
19487s CH am just to get through yeah they are
19490s in they're able to do so but all that
19492s damage coming through imortality get far
19494s back they're able to stay alive surely
19496s going to need to be pop to stay alive
19497s but the soor overclock is here from
19499s KitKat can't go aggressive because they
19500s don't have the heals and duck able to
19502s get taken out by Eko where was the where
19506s was the counter beat for maybe Anna in
19508s this fight because now daggers come
19510s through 60% being built on the board at
19511s least they getting some ultimates out
19513s now but able rise and continue the rain
19515s counter beat was being held for Sigma
19518s flux for next fight it's a loose lose
19520s situation you're taking so much damage
19522s you're immediately forced to use the
19523s immortality field you don't get any
19524s value off of your amplification Matrix B
19527s Rising still with control of all of this
19529s spacing duck even try to build up to a
19530s blizzard because Willow's already got
19532s one built to counter
19534s it walk out as well with the bur pop so
19537s they need this speat drop and it comes
19538s out but after duck is gone Lam able to
19541s pop the immortality but the Frozen and
19543s so is the rest of their team two members
19546s of Ls both died to just the passive from
19548s the blizzard and 94% on the board 95%
19552s the beat drop not even required nobody's
19553s going to be able to touch for lfs fable
19555s Rising will go up one map in this first
19558s to three yeah you can tell that Fable
19560s Rising have been listening to Wi
19563s listening to a lot of the coaching and
19565s experience coming through from some of
19567s these players already on that challenges
19569s level because they have that cycling and
19571s space when is absolutely down path swe
19574s eels on the sigma able to come in using
19577s the sigma flux after the rest of the
19579s team have already bullied your opponent
19581s into investing that lamp really good
19584s stuff coming through from them
19585s controlling all of the chokes great
19588s accretions as well to be able to land
19590s and connect on to all of the players
19592s coming through from lfs so every single
19594s time one of them maybe closes up the
19596s distance maybe didn't get holded off
19598s survived that initial rotation on
19601s approach instantly a cretion straight to
19604s the face you're sent back a meter right
19606s into a May wall and you have no cool
19608s Downs to be able to keep yourself
19610s standing that was so clean from them and
19614s maybe for the side of Ls the coaching
19616s there Moxy I mean by the way yeah we
19618s just get to look at sleepy eels who just
19620s having such a dominant performance on
19621s the sigma such a strong hero like you
19623s said and then also just in a really good
19626s hands for them but you know maybe if
19628s you're talking to lfs Moxy for their
19630s coaching you would think okay maybe just
19632s try to use your ultimates right I know a
19634s lot of these fights like aren't really
19635s winable but I mean you got to think to
19638s just use those ultimates right yeah I
19640s think unfortunately for lfs right the
19643s coms are coming through and you're
19644s trying to figure out we've already
19645s dropped one or two players we know that
19647s they're going to have things like the
19649s sigma flux and the blizzard for next F
19651s so even if you invested the sound bar
19653s you're potentially still going to be
19654s picked off and then you're going to lose
19657s the next fight as a result of lacking
19659s the S barrier because the other team get
19660s to be incredibly aggressive with things
19663s like the flux and the bar the blizzard
19665s knowing barri is not there to stop it
19667s unfortunately I think that sort of
19669s hesitation where the team was sort of
19670s split down the middle on whether to
19672s invest whether not to immediately got
19675s punished Fable were very good at
19677s identifying where players were out
19679s position or whether there was maybe a
19681s moment of indecision and as a result
19683s they were able to use that sort of
19685s hesitation to turn lfs's team entirely
19688s against them and unfortunately even when
19690s they immediately dropped those abilities
19692s in right lamp came out super fast from
19695s lfs's side because they identified our
19698s tank is incredibly weak they've been
19700s walled off they've been separated we
19702s don't have anything to be able to peel
19703s for them we have to throw lampin but the
19705s second it was gone it was immediately
19708s removed from play because everyone from
19710s Fable saw it come out and just zero
19712s focused it down yeah I mean it's so
19714s clean from them now Moxy the next map
19717s we're going to which I'm excited because
19718s I haven't watched this map in Pro play
19720s in such a long time we're going to Kings
19721s Row for the second game I mean that's a
19724s great pick just to see for a personal
19726s fan of OverWatch to see the map again
19728s you know maybe against this Sigma do you
19730s think Kings Row is a solid map pick to
19733s potentially go against them or is that
19735s Sigma still going to get a lot of work
19736s done I mean we've seen Sigma find Value
19739s on Kings Row in current meta Zoom fist
19741s also can work really nicely there's a
19743s lot of high ground areas that you can
19744s roll out onto whether you're attacking
19746s or defending you can slip in and out of
19748s fights incredibly quickly and be
19750s incredibly hard to be able to catch and
19752s pin down with all of the twists and
19754s winding Alleyways uh Reinhardt if you
19757s want to grab something like a symmetra
19759s teleporter still finds a lot of value as
19762s well playing with that Rin Rush style
19764s where you sort of work around the
19765s symmetric cooldowns so that you don't
19767s burn through that Rin Shield before the
19769s fight even begins May is my biggest
19773s concern for this map however with lfs
19776s deciding to take his here they struggled
19778s against the mayw whether or not they
19780s lost players because of the wall
19782s separation or whether or not they were
19784s forced into burning cooldowns a lot
19786s earlier than they desired off of May War
19789s being able to separate it really did
19791s feel like Fable Rising had how to play
19794s that may perfectly down yeah I mean in
19799s like you said on King's Row I think
19800s that's just going to
19801s that might that might potentially you
19803s know hurt lfs on this map too so you
19806s know well that's why I would love to see
19807s something like a doom because then you
19809s have the mobility to be able to play
19810s around it even if you get wed off by the
19812s May you're still going to be able what
19815s is this well I promis TV she will do a
19818s sick 360 for her and she has zero
19821s confidence she
19822s can oh no why they got to throw in that
19825s extra bit I I appreciate she's humble
19827s she can do it I believe I believe in a
19829s 360 m
19831s MOX Moxy I think a big thing with the
19832s doomfist is you know in in diamond in
19836s these ranks as well like I don't think
19837s doomfist is a hard character I think
19839s it's underestimated like Doom is
19840s probably one of the hardest characters
19841s to play a lot of hours yeah committed to
19845s be able to to with those roll lights
19848s yeah exactly it is very much like
19850s wrecking bullets Nila is going to be
19852s running the first allari that we've
19854s gotten to see today there you go Dustin
19858s get get ready just to support in
19861s chat as that is going to be a lot of
19863s burst damage coming through from this
19865s back line as well as
19866s survivability I wonder I really wonder
19868s why we haven't seen a lot of the Lor in
19869s the recent meta just because of the
19871s sigmae being so strong with the speed
19873s and stuff right it's not really you need
19874s the Lu here for
19876s rotations yeah well they're in a
19878s defensible position at the moment so
19880s maybe they can just poke down lfs
19882s sigma's also great at that really been
19885s great Flex character in general able to
19886s play oh my God ignore everything I've
19888s just said Willow hits the head shot on a
19890s Kit Kat no 360 sadly but still opening
19893s pick and with that lfs right
19895s everything's trly just going to crumble
19896s unless they can find another kill here
19898s that may wall was was definitely
19900s something but I guess it forced out the
19901s immortality fi scared them for now lfs
19904s it pushed them back into the building
19906s yeah that's the thing Fable with the
19908s sigma they know without that loser they
19909s have to just pick a spot and anchor on
19911s it so they've given up High Ground
19913s Control knowing that the soan can
19914s poweride up there in case lfs try and
19917s pressure and as a result they've
19918s anchored points blue wall from
19923s Willow that's face May oh my gosh duck
19925s just goes down immediately immortality
19926s not to save them in time sleepy e
19929s meanwhile gets there Queen B you'll take
19932s that train into the week of your Fable
19933s Rising because there's no man the side
19935s end Blaster there's that damage you
19937s always talk about Moxy the r lfs just
19940s crumbles to it with a minute and 20 off
19941s the clock yeah may may as well be
19944s wielding a flamethrower end ofic plaster
19947s does so much damage that's one fight and
19950s and Willow is 88% to Blizzard that's
19954s insane I mean at least lfs are taking
19957s enough hul damage that aror is pretty
19959s close to sound barrier but unfortunately
19961s a couple more head shot coming through
19963s on that secondary Willow is going to be
19965s sitting incredibly pretty fa Rising is
19968s going to be incredibly comfortably on
19970s that point lfs at least have The High
19972s Ground to
19974s pop flam Popp it they do 33 HP as well
19978s but no regener bur to heal up everybody
19979s low on F now Kit Kat trying to find the
19982s shot on the backline but just can't too
19984s many heals there from Fable now
19985s overclock pop the side beat dro the
19987s counter it amazing for lfs now there's
19990s the gravitic flux into the sky everybody
19992s goes Sage Falls but may doesn't fall
19995s just yet however the blizzard here is on
19996s the other side B Rising able to stack
19999s these ultimates on top of each other
20001s nothing really anms can do and they only
20004s have a minute 30 seconds left now that's
20006s very much a game plan that fa wising
20008s have had they stacked both the blizzard
20011s and the flux to bait out the cool Downs
20013s earli on on and as a result lfs are
20016s going to lose their supports late on 1
20019s minute and 23 seconds left not a single
20022s point of percentage picked up for lfs on
20025s their attack they're going to have
20026s Annihilation they're going to have the
20029s overclock but nil is going to have
20030s captive sun to be able to instantly slow
20033s all of that momentum down see how early
20035s decided to pop that I like the decision
20037s making for lest going through the low
20039s ground instead of all in the flank but
20041s that results in L so
20043s low but there's the overclock Pig cat
20046s could go big that's the opening pick
20048s they needed 55 seconds left can they get
20050s any more a plays back they want to wait
20053s for the team member to come back out of
20054s Spawn looks like no they just want to
20056s fight Here and Now captive Sun now comes
20058s through where do they go with this
20060s waiting for that ice block to come out
20062s it connects onto two which the the
20064s follow up damage Willow's able to find
20066s lammer another one is found but nobody
20068s else can get kills rest of lfs are on
20071s the objective and by this point Sage
20073s maker damage is done wait they're
20075s committing ultimates wait it's the
20077s blizzard and oh my God they're able to
20079s come back Fable with that ultimate Ono
20081s just going to stagger out 20 seconds
20083s left they live with their lives no what
20086s a clutch from the DPS is a fable but
20088s ducky want to get one on the reengage
20090s they're going to come back in this fight
20092s Moxy yeah but they woed the corner so
20094s the m not in position to be able tool
20096s that point they're going to have to
20098s throw blizzard immediately as dark makes
20100s her approach you can see lfs looking for
20102s that contest good wall blocks fa back
20105s off there we go now they could use it
20109s out of the points Le de goes has the
20110s support there but the blizzard stop
20112s Queen D from getting any more
20114s advancement towards the point overtime
20116s taking down now lfs just have that
20118s defensible position now fa Rising have
20121s to regroup for that street phace a is
20123s going to have as well the sound bar to
20126s try and snowball because it took so long
20128s for lfs to pick up point a they need
20130s this next fight to be clean that's
20132s exactly what they needed Kit Kat takes
20135s down her mirror and lfs have been able
20137s to push their way through one of the
20140s hardest chokes in game that's huge it
20141s means they don't have to worry about the
20142s May coming through from
20144s Willock shot that's two so far for kick
20147s out by the way after the overclock so
20149s maybe they built some confidence needed
20150s to continue their rain however Fable
20152s Rising here Moxy I mean they've got olds
20154s ready to go I mean we've already seen
20157s the stack of the flux and the blizzard
20158s we could well see the stack of the flux
20161s into the overclock so that the soan is
20163s able to rip through those low Health
20165s targets oh no almost gets her head clean
20169s off by peeking that off angle on STS but
20172s Kat's still able to find the kill so the
20174s flank Lucio was unsuccessful Kit Kat
20177s still on the low ground able to find the
20178s kill and they're actually winning in
20179s terms of cool Downs right now overclock
20181s now from Kit Kat to continue their rain
20183s jumps over the top side and oh my God
20186s they're able to hit so many good shots
20187s in this one three for them sleeping Feld
20190s just has to back up around the corner
20191s play for their lives but they definitely
20193s could get staggered here they have so
20196s see the power of this remat though
20198s Vortex into overclock to slow all of the
20200s players from Fable Rising so clean kiat
20203s able to line up her shots as a result
20205s however Fable Rising coming in with the
20207s over contest they've got five ultimates
20209s and D they're going to use them there's
20211s that captive Sun it doesn't do anything
20214s against damage maker like you said just
20215s getting so much value on the ratra Kit
20217s Kat as well through that able to get the
20219s kills wizard on the point but it's far
20221s too late Willow I mean you've got no
20223s teammates as much as you've clutched
20225s earlier now it's not winnable and lfs
20227s Moxy against the odds now have two
20229s minutes in third phase after their
20230s overtime take first yeah but fa Rising
20233s coming in with that contest they did
20234s trade for ultimates but they have slowed
20237s lfs and burnt them out of getting to
20239s play aggressively with the space off of
20241s either the overclock the annihilation or
20244s the sound barrier as a result if we go
20246s back to that default setting the
20247s defensive team's always going to have
20249s that advantage unless Kit Kat can try
20251s and find these opening
20253s shots cat drops to build those shots and
20257s eventually the N mat it to run out a
20260s rising look to re-engage with their
20262s ultimates immediately popping their
20265s overlock now goes aggressive but takes
20267s those pumes to the facee and no heals
20268s are there the immortality field where
20271s was it no soour in this fight now for fa
20274s Rising they're able to trade one Willow
20276s has been just as good with the right
20278s clicks as having a rail gun shot that
20281s actually gives them the edge and with
20282s that Queen be is able to find Sage maker
20284s kick C Falls and with the carries down
20286s of lfs everybody's just going to get
20288s staggered now a minute and 12 seconds
20290s left now for lfs lfs unfortunately tried
20293s to use the blizzard as well to turn a
20295s couple more kills into their favor so
20297s fav Rising W able to hold on to this
20300s Main Road approach Sage maker now off
20302s the raater onto the Reinhardt well
20304s coverage with that shield on the
20306s approach but it also means a lot more
20308s pressure when it breaks
20310s finger walks in there's the net Matrix
20312s like you said that Shield goes down so
20314s fast blizzard to follow it up but it was
20316s after everybody's moved
20318s up caught out though they were a bit too
20321s close and then Willow hits the shot oh
20324s my God that was nearly a 360 but it
20325s wasn't a blizzard necessarily however
20326s that's still two for fable
20328s Rising huge coming through from Willow
20331s and now she gets to move up play
20333s aggressive Sage maker at least knows
20335s that you've been able to walk forward
20336s and very quickly burn out the
20338s amplification Matrix so fa won't have it
20340s for overtime which is the most crucial
20342s point for lfs to be able to keep that
20344s presence on C daker walks in just trying
20347s to get a lot of that swing damage the
20349s deals understanding that backs up kit
20351s kat again in the clutch able to find
20353s those rail gun shots want a little bit
20355s more as overclock like you said go
20358s aggressive with it got the immortality
20360s field duck has the follow up off the
20361s body shots it doesn't matter if they're
20363s body or head shot they're able to get
20365s the kills regardless 3K for kitat in
20368s this fight and over time they do it
20370s again I mean sleep stagger it out as
20374s well I mean who's going to do a touch
20375s now for fable Ry yeah captive Sun but
20377s hasn't been able to do anything else in
20379s the past Captain Sun comes back but
20381s immortality field is here it only gets
20382s onto the Lucio if Anna can separate it
20385s won't get much value AO Falls but it
20387s doesn't matter Sage maker with the
20389s pressure on the cart gets it done lfs
20392s against all the odds they're able to C
20394s full out on Kings Row so it's a huge
20397s gamble going for the Reinhart without
20399s that symmetra especially when you know
20401s you're playing into a team that has so
20402s much poke pressure coming out with both
20405s a Baptist and a lari and a soan but the
20408s arari is actually a huge reason why
20410s sandwich maker decides that she's going
20413s to make Swap and that's because captive
20416s sun gets entirely blocked by a Reinhard
20418s Shield it does catch onto the Lucio yes
20421s but it does actually stop the connection
20424s onto anyone else on the team and when we
20426s do see that confidence for lfs to be
20429s able to walk forward knowing that they
20431s have the blanket of the Reinhard Shield
20432s which has so much more Health than the
20435s ratas they have the confidence to put
20437s kiat into angles to try and take on her
20440s mirror and if you noticed too MOX I mean
20443s Sage maker was getting a ton value out
20446s of just Rin swings in general and then
20448s also in the like you said pumping out
20450s that damage and you also saw the
20452s supports were really taxed as well right
20453s I mean on on Lam both had a crazy amount
20456s of healing compared to fa Rising
20458s supports so you know that could be a
20460s Difference Maker holding in this and
20462s Moxy look they have the same composition
20463s that they ran on their offense well you
20466s have a m you want to try and take
20467s advantage of it right if someone gets
20469s walled off a rising if they don't run
20471s that Baptist they don't have immortality
20473s field to throw onto whoever gets pined
20476s on out Fable Rising however going to be
20479s currently just teasing that Wier
20481s definitely not locking in with it fully
20482s just wanting to see with the damage
20483s pleas whether or not they can pick
20485s someone off out of position before
20487s swapping to the compeition they're
20489s actually going to roll
20490s wh and now early wall from lfs damage
20494s maker trying to play around the statue
20496s wants to try to maintain that space wall
20498s is there but can easily walk around it
20500s understanding that sandwich maker Tri
20501s the whole close though really just
20502s trying to buy a lot of time for kick tat
20505s that's been their main carry K goes get
20507s get thrown in there for sleepy don't
20509s have that now towards the point for the
20510s team to rotate continually using it now
20513s deciding to dle it sandwich maker also
20515s has pretty much an evenly healthy Shield
20518s immortality there for sandwi maker get
20519s some pressure off but it doesn't matter
20521s because they're just walked down from fa
20523s Rising the pressure far too much from
20525s the sigma and Fa Rising supports nobody
20528s else in L FS is going able to touch the
20530s point they're all going to get staggered
20531s out now Tech use of the sigma Shield to
20534s stop the r getting healed from lammer
20538s every single time sleepy e just throws
20539s it out disconnects the r from that
20542s Baptist as a result lammer is pressured
20544s into using the lamp in the second that
20546s cool down is removed cable Rising get to
20548s properly commit into that fight and lfs
20551s of no choice but to back on off with
20553s this right now in street phace it's
20554s going to be even harder try an approach
20557s into this fight since you don't
20558s originally have control
20561s oftion shot at that choke point s walks
20564s around it this time but that Shield
20565s pressure is just a lot May wall but the
20568s cers runs through it cancels that
20571s morality field side of lfs so they
20573s sustain through a lot of the damage that
20575s put R is putting down but oh my God what
20577s a shot the soj able rising and then with
20580s the captive Sun they're able to find the
20582s Mur as well stagger comes through duck
20584s will able to find Queen B on the Stagger
20586s however a rising will keep this payLo
20588s pushing forward unless just being
20590s annoying eventually will fall kit cat
20593s going to be coming into this next fight
20595s with the overclock but Sage maker
20596s unfortunately just not able to build the
20598s shatter this Reinhard has been so
20601s heavily pressured by all of that poke
20603s potential coming through from Fable
20604s rising and as a result it's playing into
20606s the amount of space that duck and Kit
20608s Kat have to be able to set these Halls
20610s up dou not able to find any of these
20612s cheeky little angles that we see Willow
20615s taking I would like to see Willow hide
20618s there potentially but it doesn't matter
20619s because they're just dead to the
20620s Blizzard damage Falls immediately
20623s fantastic from them K Kat tries the
20625s equalize it goes over the top with the
20626s overclock that could be huge but they
20628s need to find the kills and they're not
20629s able to Willow hit those shots oh my
20632s gosh what an icicle and with that Fable
20635s Rising able to just keep pushing forward
20637s lfs going to give up the objective and
20639s five minutes and 20 seconds now for
20640s fable Rising on the third what a
20642s blizzard coming through from Willow they
20644s know that this Reinhard everyone from
20646s Fable Rising they understand this
20649s Reinhard is the anchor for the
20650s composition without the Reinhard
20653s everyone from Fable Rising gets to play
20654s incredibly aggressive they don't have to
20656s worry about being pinned and immediately
20658s killed they don't have to worry about
20659s burning lamp out early because of the
20661s post pressure always forcing Al into
20662s using de first saage maker without the
20665s shadow not able to move past the amp and
20668s shot Fable rising down down yeah the
20671s beach drop unfortunately just going to
20672s go absolutely nowhere this rail gun shot
20676s towards the very end could give lfs a
20678s re-engage they have shattered a second
20679s and Matrix to sustain towards the point
20682s May wol for now slows down that but
20684s there's that Blizzard from Duck to the
20687s catch but out to catch his sleepy eels
20689s and the immortality field isn't there so
20690s it's all for sage
20692s maker and back to the spawn Fable Rising
20694s goes but Moxy that's a massive time B
20697s for them to work with well minutes and
20700s 20 seconds like you said that is a lot
20703s of time Fable Rising can just continue
20705s applying that's pressure forcing elest
20707s to throwing an ultimate into every
20709s single fight to try and hold on to this
20712s High Ground for as long as possible
20714s saage maker trying to play around that
20715s corner not getting spotted out are you
20717s going to be able to land that shadow
20719s you're looking for no the sigma
20721s Caesar that that that is a very
20723s interesting angle to hold shatter up the
20725s high that potentially but doesn't to get
20727s it off Miss go for the flank shatter
20729s though
20730s that inside angle waiting for it just
20732s decides to play it straight up
20733s immortality kill used to sustain them
20735s goes for the shatter and it's massive
20738s basically a Kaiser shatter Forte the
20740s rest of AEL Rising just have to jump off
20742s the map and that could start the
20744s comeback LS huge shatter and like you've
20747s said that could very well start the
20749s comeback for lfs is going to have
20751s overclock for the next fight if it
20753s doesn't find kills all is going to have
20756s the sound barrier to use the Sleepy eels
20758s tries to turn
20759s that fight into their favor with the
20761s sigma flux lfs now putting themselves
20764s into a position for the Reinhard to be
20765s able to find the V to good wall separate
20767s sleepy eels away from that team the fire
20769s strike forcing out the shift
20772s early they try to walk in captive Sun
20774s here to maybe follow up on this gravitic
20776s flux but they don't use it just yet beat
20777s drop Force now towards the back trying
20780s to deal with so on the top K hits the
20781s shots come back come back through they
20784s lose both their teammates though and
20785s then there's the captive Sun beautiful
20787s follow up Duck will trade back sleepy
20789s eels at the very least so potential
20791s recontest is here but what a captive son
20793s reengage table RIS yeah L's so close to
20796s has amplification Matrix but a huge wall
20799s coming for from Willow forces lfs into
20802s going wide the just able to tap in time
20805s getat with the kill onto the soan and
20807s might have turned the fight into lfs's
20809s favor yeah that's what I'm worried about
20811s I mean these spawns are so close that
20814s really a lot of these teams have a hard
20816s time closing
20817s out lfs stabilized but they have a
20820s wrecking ball don't know if that's
20822s really what they
20824s want I mean the wrecking Ball's going to
20826s be able to disrupt every single time F
20828s Rising try and get into position you can
20830s send the racking ball through especially
20832s when you want to have amplification
20833s Matrix it might not find kills but it's
20834s still delaying fa rising from being able
20837s to make that move I mean this this could
20839s be weighing on fa Rising like you said
20841s Matrix now for que be engaged overlock
20843s here as well when they go with it damage
20846s gets rid of the Pilon over the top but
20848s there's that an m Tri and there's the
20849s overclock to follow up on up BS
20852s immortality field down really there's
20854s not a lot of sustain here for lfs so
20856s it's all inage maker to create a lot of
20857s space in which they're doing so at the
20859s moment cat's able to find Queen Beast so
20861s a lot of the heals gone still have the
20863s pylon though will is able to find duck
20864s and no more Tracer now for lfs it's all
20867s on kit cap but there's no heals for them
20870s sleepy heels will get the followup kill
20873s Anna comes to the Lane breing ball to
20875s just stall they need to get this down
20879s they want a chance here lfs on their
20882s attack to have a potential to attack
20883s they need to get now below 14 seconds
20886s there's nobody else here blizzard as
20888s well Lucio comes into touch captive son
20890s and yes they do it with a minute in wait
20893s no oh my God the rucky balls here five
20895s four three can anybody else touch the
20897s mines out 1 second oh no way they do it
20901s with a second on top of a minute lfs
20904s they don't get a chance now because of
20907s it oh no
20910s oh 1 minute and 1 second oh are you
20914s kidding me are you kidding me I've not
20917s seen it that close ever I don't think
20920s yeah that's that's crazy that's actually
20924s crazy it's really sad too cuz lfs off of
20927s the Hammond mines coming through from
20929s sandwich maker it really look like they
20931s we're going to be able to push him into
20934s OT I'm just
20936s impressed I mean you said it yourself
20938s King row defensive spawn points on C are
20942s incredibly close and so many of these
20945s Heroes like lfs when they swap to all of
20946s those really mobile heroes they know
20949s they have amplification Matrix they know
20951s that they're sacrificing being able to
20953s poke through amplification matrix by
20955s going for that longer store potential so
20957s when amp comes through it's not for lfs
20960s to try and find kills for it's literally
20961s just to try and burn the clock down that
20963s Fable Rising have access to and once amp
20966s is gone it just becomes coordinating
20968s players to be able to on that coton like
20971s you said it is so impressive that
20973s they're able to do
20975s that a lot of it comes down to Target
20978s focus and mechanics and all these
20980s different things that I'm sure these
20981s players are focusing on learning Widow
20983s shop by the way ready to go but
20984s obviously nobody's going to fall for the
20985s Widow spawn these days in this together
20989s all of us yeah it's not quite 2017 it is
20993s 2023 and as a result we're going to be
20995s seeing the sigma sandwich maker yet
20997s again on that Reinhardt trying to find
20999s Value cut off from the team by the S
21001s Shield again yeah immortality buil
21003s immediately there to keep him healthy at
21005s the very least F that cool Down's now
21007s gone they're going for more though I
21008s like this from lfs the aggression is
21011s perfectly
21013s timed so they ever so slightly change up
21016s the positioning Sage maker moves forward
21018s to bait sleepy eels into taking the 1 V
21020s one with the tank and also to force
21021s Willow into using that wall but duck
21024s sticks close to the R's flank sees her
21027s tank getting pressured pops out and
21029s using the primary rips through the sness
21033s health they want to walk in ba
21037s around but immediate counter from duck
21039s that's nice for now but duck stun
21040s immortality FS force on both sides
21043s actually event they'll be taking down fa
21046s Rising able to get the opening pick and
21047s duck Falls to and in overtime Fable
21049s Rising are doing it off of some
21051s fantastic so and blade 3K in that fight
21055s nobody else now for lfs can touch and B
21058s Rising up two in this first to three
21061s yeah Fable Rising even though that first
21063s push fell a little bit apart really good
21065s stuff from alfs to identify why they
21067s lost point a so quickly why that
21069s Reinhardt is going to be such a biger
21071s gamble to run in comparison to the sigma
21075s but in that last fight fa Rising with
21077s the composition just have so much
21078s sustainability and so much aggression
21080s right they know they're playing into a
21082s Reinhard they can run the allari they
21083s know that the pylon is potentially going
21085s to be sticking up in that fight for as
21087s long as possible since you can put It
21089s Out Of Reach of the Rin Hammer if you're
21091s running into something like a ratra or a
21092s sigma with the range that they have a
21095s lot of the time that pylon goes down
21096s because the tank is in the forward
21097s position to be able to dispatch it
21100s however having baptized allari sojan May
21103s and all of the additional pressure with
21105s the sigma heaped on top just means
21108s unfortunately that if lfs aren't able to
21110s build the ultimate in that one minute
21112s which already is going to be such a huge
21114s ass they just don't have the sustain nor
21117s damage bur potential to find any of the
21120s kills when fa Rising take the
21122s fight that was so clean from them and
21126s you know besides Willow sorry if I
21128s pronounce this right it's Casey casy
21129s honey Cris right I mean such good sojor
21132s play know to counter K Kat who was also
21135s playing well right I think at points Kat
21136s was the star of the show but you know
21138s consistently in the clutch Kat was
21140s coming through however at the very end
21142s the very last fight the one that
21144s mattered especially since lfs built up
21146s the old in the previous one I mean
21148s really just clean work out of a rising
21150s and a consistency has in there yeah Nila
21154s as well really impressing on the allari
21156s pylons will put into really good and
21158s inconvenient spots for lfs to deal with
21161s here we can see that insane stor coming
21162s through from lfs identifying from Fable
21166s okay they're not going to be playing for
21168s pick potential we just have to be able
21169s to build up ultimates and stop them from
21171s being able to contest and they do a very
21173s good job just as we see lfs able to
21175s cycle through the time bank oh my
21178s goodness
21179s we
21182s 12,584
21185s eliminations what an insane performance
21188s coming through from her she may not have
21189s done a 360 but I think she made up for
21192s it in terms of damage and kills that she
21195s finds that's insane that is a whole four
21198s more blizzards built up off of the
21200s damage that she's able to dispatch yeah
21203s I mean she she 360 La duck in the race
21205s so I mean yeah that was lit you said 7,
21208s was more damage that's crazy or not
21211s 7,000 was it 6,000 basically 6,500 but
21213s yeah I mean really insane work from
21214s Willow like you said and this may player
21217s has been so good she's really been a
21219s standout player for this team and you
21221s know a lot of these players Moxy are
21223s trying to you know go you know improve
21226s through the ranks win the tournament and
21227s I know learning has been a big um you
21230s know the biggest thing that a lot of
21231s players have talked about even in the
21232s Challenger Series they'll talk about how
21234s they're really trying to improve and
21235s learn and you know work on some things
21237s if for this team if if they could build
21239s around Willow right if they can
21240s consistently do what they just did in
21242s this series and maybe have a little bit
21244s better follow-up damage right the only
21246s reason that they didn't fully cap out on
21248s Kings roow with a lot of time is because
21250s you know they were getting a little
21251s maybe panicked right towards the very
21252s end if they can reel that in maybe calm
21255s the enage down a little bit focus on
21257s targets and really just hone in on those
21259s kills they'll they're in a great spot
21261s this team looks great yeah I would say
21263s honestly this team is the epitome of
21265s what calling all heroes is trying to
21267s build as well right these are players
21268s who are maybe not quite ready to make
21270s the jump into challenges but you can
21272s definitely see that given enough time
21276s and given enough sort of notice and a
21279s lot of help and experience from some of
21281s these other players coming from the
21282s Challenger Series they will be ready to
21285s make that jump between rising and push
21288s on up into the challenges series the
21290s foundations for an incredibly strong
21292s team and strong players as a result are
21295s already being laid and it is wonderful
21298s to see because not only is it there for
21300s us to see but it's very obvious that
21302s Fable and all of their players and
21303s coaches and staff have picked up on it
21306s as well they have and speaking about
21308s picking up the they're going to pick up
21309s a map surasa is going to be the next one
21312s obviously picked by LS because they are
21315s down to in the series this is the map
21318s decider flash point of all things Moxy
21321s what do you think this has been like the
21322s consistent map 3 in the in tournaments
21325s in the in the scene generally in
21326s OverWatch right what do you think about
21328s I mean CU it was recently like in these
21331s first the threes a lot of the time it
21332s was like push right like now now it's
21334s moving M back over to flash point
21336s instead I mean do you like that decision
21338s maybe instead of just have flash point
21339s for that M number three it's kind of
21342s interesting right yeah I feel like the
21345s two map types are sort of Polar
21347s Opposites right flasho is so many fights
21351s in one map and a lot of the time it's
21353s sort of identifying okay when is best to
21356s save ultimate when is best to to cutle
21359s losses and give up one of those points
21360s that're heading into the next fight
21361s we're going to be at an advantage and in
21363s that vein it does share a huge
21365s similarity with push but the difference
21368s is flasho is one off of multiple fights
21371s a lot of the time push is one off of
21373s like two original fight to see who wins
21378s that first push and gets the initial
21380s distance and then the fight afterwards a
21382s lot of the time is for the other team to
21385s decide where to keep that objective for
21387s as long as possible so they have the
21389s more favorable ground to start those
21392s fights off of so I can definitely see
21394s players being a lot happier that flash
21396s point is where they actually go on the
21398s third map because like I've said when
21400s you have an entire map being one off of
21403s two fights the first of which you're not
21405s going to have any ultimates because it's
21407s literally the first fight of the map
21409s that puts so much more pressure on
21412s players like your DPS to find those
21414s opening picks first and if it doesn't go
21416s well that puts even more pressure on
21418s them to being able to turn the entire
21420s thing around great point I mean all that
21422s is going to be on both AC honey crisp
21425s and also Willow meanwhile Kit Kat and
21427s duck obviously trying to equalize it
21429s obviously KitKat was doing a lot of work
21431s on King's Row but for duck you know this
21433s is really a prove it or lose kind of
21435s situation while sleepy eels is going to
21436s start on the junker Queen for fable r i
21439s mean if you get wed off they're going to
21440s be able to have access to things like
21442s that shout you can see duck already
21443s coming under a lot of pressure as Willow
21445s finding the wall trying to isolate Sage
21449s nice nice block from Willow to stay
21452s alive for now Sage walks towards that
21454s point without the immortality field is
21456s there enough healing so much pressure is
21458s on the supports
21460s unfortunately Force damage maker they
21462s fall to KC money grit and now aable
21464s Rising just going to walk forward no
21466s pick offs either I mean that was
21467s basically a Flawless
21469s engage pable Rising have identified the
21472s sandwich maker on this ratra is able to
21474s be pulled out of position and they've
21476s doubled down on it sleepy eels with the
21478s jagged blade is going to be displacing
21480s this remat and yanking them after things
21482s like immortality field have already been
21484s bullied out of lfs's side by Willow with
21487s these walls already you can see the
21489s difference as well in terms of damage
21490s below 71% of the blizzard in comparison
21492s to duck who's just not being able to
21494s find an angle or get close enough for
21496s fear of being yanked in by the
21498s jum talk about pickapp being a carry
21501s they've got the overlock for this fight
21502s 6% nearly on the board and you mentioned
21504s only two fights this is the second one
21506s so LS lose this
21508s pretty much all but over on this first
21510s point over blocking kiit cat pop
21511s immortality able to keep s maker alive
21513s can they find the kill s maker Falls
21516s Queen on the other side low will fall
21518s into the midair shot from Kit Kat that's
21519s an amazing equalizer but no more rail
21522s gun shots left right you burnt that
21524s overclock and Willow with the defa
21526s icicle able to find one make it two 92
21529s 93% on the board now and with those
21531s shots from Willow they don't even need
21533s to use ultimates the overclock was
21535s popped for lsf but they don't even win
21537s the first point and now they Rising win
21540s round or Point number one there's just
21543s so much suain and damage even lacking a
21545s tank fa Rising have just all of the self
21548s heuel with the may all of the mobility
21550s of the power slide coming through from a
21552s honey crisp and as a result they're
21555s still going to have things like the
21556s blizzard and an overclock to take this
21559s next fight lfs not able to rotate in
21561s time either because they died late as a
21564s result Fable Rising with control of the
21566s spacing which gives them a such a huge
21568s Advantage yet again all those ultimates
21571s especially coming into Jun the queen Al
21573s that's going to be scary amplification
21575s matri there from lamr at least they have
21577s a beat to potentially counter but
21578s overclock KC on the other side able to
21580s get rid of the immortality field also
21583s poke Down sandwich fortunately misses
21584s the second chop we hit that last one now
21586s ant Matrix you beat drop re-engage
21589s counter aggression but that is
21590s immediately misplaced because KY money
21593s chip able to or honey chip able to hit
21595s that shot of the sandwich maker the rest
21597s of lfs fall and really good all usage
21600s for fable Rising only had to use two
21602s there yeah the fact that sleepy eels is
21605s able to hold on to their Rampage and
21607s Onna invested sound barrier in that
21611s fight Dustin that anti-heal is going to
21614s potentially connect onto every single
21615s member of lfs if they try and take that
21617s same rotation on side angle and as a
21620s result they're having to mix up how they
21623s rotate to this point and that means more
21624s percentage for fa Rising for
21627s free
21629s now have to set up this fight matters
21632s again just like the previous point where
21634s Kit Kat tried to clutch up with the
21636s overclock it's going to be a very
21637s similar situation they don't have that
21639s overclock this fight they've got duck
21640s blizzard but nice disengage from Fable
21643s rising to give up that space temporarily
21645s allows them to potentially come back but
21647s duck was able to find the kill counter
21649s Blizzard from Willow that's one and they
21651s get a second oh no it's into the ratra
21653s ultimate T just so low able to find s
21656s sleepy but echo's there with the trade
21658s Willow still here on the point
21659s eventually will be taken out by Duck
21661s luckily for lfs in the clutch flight
21664s fight they're able to Win It 99% Fable
21667s Rising were able to build however lfs
21668s are now in control cost them two
21671s ultimates Kit Kat going to have to make
21672s the heroin play this next fight it's
21676s Fable Rising they've got the sound
21677s barrier they're going to be able to use
21679s it to play counter aggression to the
21682s overclock to get sleepy eels into
21683s position to use that Rampage the
21686s difference is LF has winning that fight
21687s now can position themselves so they
21689s don't all get hit by it both Lucio's
21692s beat drops have been so well timed that
21694s maybe even kick cat overclock could be
21695s negated so the eeld ready to go with
21698s that oh so low fall on the 20 hp but
21701s able to get it back with her own healing
21703s abilities and then also with the beat
21705s drop through that damage output lfs gets
21708s deleted nobody else here besides Anna
21711s Kit Kat I mean sure potentially could
21713s come back in touch but no it's not going
21715s to be here and Fable Rising will capture
21717s the point overtime slowly going to get
21720s ticked down Fable Rising now have two of
21722s the three one point left now they need
21725s to capture to win this map so here's the
21727s thing it didn't matter how many Rampage
21729s hit in that fight it just needed to
21732s connect onto one and it connected onto
21734s kiad as the overclock came through b
21737s Rising saw the anti-heal effect knew
21739s there was no stand barrier jumped on the
21742s oan to shut down the ultimate and as a
21745s result are able to win out the fight
21747s entirely
21748s not going to be able to rotate onto the
21750s point to be the first ones there IA oh
21753s that is going to be incredibly
21755s detrimental to getting duck into
21756s position for the de to the left
21760s side Hing out R an swing find the find
21765s the damage necessarily just yet also do
21767s have a lot of heals because of it now
21769s has to back away from the an Matrix
21771s can't do so damage will find them but
21774s took a lot of damage in the meantime
21776s able to heal up however Willow able to
21777s hit a shot on the kick Kat after kick
21779s Kat found one so lfs still has the
21782s person advantage in this fight has to do
21784s with the blizzard though from Willow I
21785s think they can win it beat drop here to
21787s sustain the Boop actually would make
21789s things awkward because Sage can't get
21790s head shot there after that Boop so now
21793s lfs will actually slowly get staggered
21795s out still the blizzard got its value
21798s even in this fight now duck does tra it
21800s back though lfs trying to continue on
21803s the point with other tank player Willow
21804s will get found by Kit Kat AA is found by
21807s sleepy though because their back
21808s immortality fi also the delay and B RIS
21811s could still win this coming back yeah
21813s they're stoling out the delay comes
21815s through from Sleepy heels amazing work
21818s from this junker Queen bab ring now 25%
21822s left oh not only do you stall to almost
21826s 80% in one fight you win it as a result
21829s you now have control of Choke lfs dck
21831s might have this m lizard to be able to
21834s brute force your way back in time to
21836s actually come in with that over
21838s time I mean what s maker do all he can't
21841s even live there he able to get two off
21844s that overclock eventually the Rampage is
21846s here and really nobody else can touch
21848s for lfs the blizzards here from Duck get
21850s it nothing can be done at this point FS
21854s it's pretty much over Fable Rising what
21858s a game from them an absolute amazing
21861s series 3fs and move forward into the
21864s grand finals what a performance coming
21866s through from this team definitely my
21868s favorite uh in terms of who's probably
21871s going to be walking away with that
21874s Rising title sleepy eel picking up play
21876s of the game on the Jun Queen this is
21877s going to be the Rampage there it is
21880s straight into the back line and
21881s immediately you can see Willow knows
21883s okay exposion anti- healed
21886s cool pushes onto that space denies the
21889s overclock that was the one thing that
21891s lfs had to be able to turn the fight in
21894s their favor if they'd opened up and used
21896s the overclock you might not have been
21898s able to find kills but you would have
21899s been able to store a percentage and also
21901s maybe find a pick off to just push Fable
21904s Rising away from being able to find that
21906s approach and put themselves back onto
21908s the point because that is your concern
21910s right if the Jun Queen is able to close
21911s up the distance you need to deal of her
21914s in the Poke phase you need to burn
21915s things like the shout out as soon as
21918s possible so the rest of the team don't
21920s have it to get to play incredibly
21922s aggressively and push all of that space
21924s that your so and may are trying to
21926s control and swipe it out from under your
21928s feet and unfortunately that just
21929s continues to happen from the very
21930s beginning of this map yeah you know what
21933s I I definitely was very surprised to
21935s even see so in the first place Mo but it
21938s got it got a lot of the value done right
21939s I mean there was like you said not much
21940s that lfs could do against it but also
21943s the overall team play I would say is a
21945s big reason that Fable Rising succeeded
21947s right obviously you had the May player
21949s of Willow just honestly being an
21951s absolute star for this team getting a
21954s ton of damage I I don't think we usually
21955s see ma with that high of damage stats
21957s either
21958s well because Willow wasn't well
21960s sometimes she was playing traditionally
21962s but a lot of the time because she knows
21964s that she's going to have so much St to
21965s be able to play with she sort of ran May
21968s on this map especially like a pseudo
21971s Tracer she would throw herself off of
21973s The High Ground jump into the back line
21976s and pressure the Baptist into burning
21979s immortality field and as a result even
21982s if like you have the coms you have the
21984s space and your tank player is in that
21985s forward position looking to try and
21987s finds a pick or duwel the other tank out
21990s of having control of their own space
21992s that's going to Dent the confidence of
21994s your tank player and make them not want
21996s to stick around in the fight as long as
21998s possible they're going to immediately be
22000s looking to try and find an exit and
22002s disengagement and as a result every
22004s single time it felt like lfs were just
22006s divided by that may that cat amongst the
22009s pigeons coming in and pushing everyone
22012s out of
22013s position yeah and for lfs that means
22016s they're going to drop down meanwhile
22017s Fable moving forward we're going to have
22019s to talk to one of the members of their
22021s team in a little bit of an interview
22023s after short break guys so don't go any
22025s we'll be back with Ash after the
22031s [Music]
22046s break
22060s [Music]
22073s [Applause]
22076s he
22081s [Music]
22084s [Applause]
22099s [Music]
22108s [Applause]
22110s [Music]
22121s [Music]
22136s yeah
22148s [Music]
22165s [Music]
22196s he
22212s what a wild matchup there an insane win
22215s for the likes of fable Rising that we
22217s just saw here within the upper finals
22219s they solidified themselves and cemented
22221s that Grand Final spot for tomorrow but
22224s we've got to talk about the Chipotle
22227s match
22228s MVP heading into this one it was a crazy
22233s game and I think without a doubt it is
22236s going to be willowron there
22238s Moxy I mean yeah you you hit the nail
22241s right on the head is there any TI I
22243s don't think anyone can argue this is
22246s insane Willow died
22248s twice on Sasa and came in with 20
22254s eliminations that's numbers that we
22256s don't know link C even for a hero that
22259s has so much sustainability on that main
22261s it really goes to show even though she
22263s was playing Uber aggressive and full on
22266s diving head first into the backline a
22268s lot of the time she was still getting so
22270s much space created by the rest of her
22271s team that she survived the encounter
22274s yeah we were talking about it a little
22275s bit in the green room as well about the
22277s fact that she was playing in a
22279s non-traditional almost M play style in a
22281s sense where she was going for those
22283s flanks going for those isolation plays
22286s and the wall
22287s in the micro plays coming out for her
22290s from her were out of this world like
22292s something that you don't expect within
22294s this Rising division here Dogman the
22297s fact that overall I think the
22299s communication on this squad is at a
22302s different kind of level it really is and
22304s if you have a m player popping off as
22306s much as Willow was you're going to have
22307s a good time so yeah fantastic work from
22310s them yeah but we have an interview ready
22312s so we're going to get a chance to talk
22314s to njila here on the side of fable
22317s Rising how are you doing Nila
22319s congratulations on your win and
22320s cementing yourselves within the grand
22322s finals um yeah I mean that was an insane
22326s game from you guys yeah thank you so
22328s much um first of all I I really love
22331s playing with this team will definitely
22333s deserves the match MVP there she she
22335s really pops off for us pretty much every
22337s game and playing with her is always a
22340s pleasure I want to hear a little bit
22342s about how you guys have been able to
22344s take points away from the main Fable
22346s Squad within Challengers and uh in that
22349s kind of sense of relationship that you
22351s have with that team because I think
22352s everyone not only the audience us on
22355s desk as well could very much so tell
22357s that your team coordination and Synergy
22360s you're able to focus on Heroes within
22362s the game and really just like nail it
22366s down was above the level of this
22370s division in a sense yeah um I'm friends
22373s with some of the people on the main
22374s Fable roster I love all of them uh but
22377s our biggest thing is we scrim a lot we
22380s practice a lot and we work on playing
22384s together as a team all the time you know
22386s our our coaches are always talking to us
22388s about communication and talking to our
22391s teammates and you know uh for me like
22394s the biggest thing when I first started
22396s was we do we do the three2 split
22398s sometimes and you know talking to the
22400s person on the two with me and that was
22403s you know that was a big thing for me to
22404s overcome but clearly we we've we've
22407s gotten a lot better at it so I'm really
22409s proud of proud of all of
22411s us andil I mean you specifically on
22414s Baptist I think have a lot on your
22416s shoulders right I mean it's just like at
22418s least when when you guys were playing I
22419s noticed that the immortality field was
22421s like living such a long amount of time
22423s and you were really holding it for the
22425s perfect timing what does it feel like in
22427s these tournaments to have like probably
22428s one of the strongest abilities just
22430s cooldown wise in the game is there a lot
22432s of pressure on you as a Baptist player
22433s to use that at the right time or are you
22435s feeling relatively cons with it I feel
22438s pretty consistent with it um honestly
22440s there's there's not too much pressure
22442s when it comes to my lamps when I get
22443s them off I get them off and you know if
22446s I don't we'll make up for it in another
22447s ways we're not too worried about it my
22450s my favorite thing about the lamp though
22451s is just throwing it on the May wall when
22453s our tank gets walled off and it's
22455s perfect it just it covers them and they
22458s just the other team never thinks to look
22460s up and shoot it on the May wall so yeah
22464s it's I mean there there's some pressure
22467s playing Bap Lucio I mean you have to
22469s Output a lot of healing and the ammo
22471s Nerf for Bap really hurt this patch um
22475s oh yeah but yeah they took away like
22478s three whole bursts and it's pretty rough
22481s but we make it
22483s work love hearing that you guys are able
22485s to
22489s working playing on the live patch
22492s obviously Rising is sort of separate in
22494s terms of that challenges challenges
22496s playing on the opr client and playing on
22498s the previous patch other than running
22501s into some unfortunate troubles with the
22504s Baptist Nerf was there sort of anything
22506s else that came alongside this patch that
22508s the team was sort of concerned about
22510s potentially running into or were happy
22512s that had changed because they thought
22514s they sort of enabled some more of your
22516s compositions um I would definitely say
22519s that we would have preferred to play on
22520s opr but being on live doesn't change
22523s anything we're here to play and we're
22524s here to win so we're going to deal with
22527s whatever changes we get thrown at
22530s and we'll we'll make it
22533s work um the the B ammo Nerf really sucks
22538s I know may also got an ammo Nerf and
22540s there was a few Buffs that to other
22543s characters namely in the tank Department
22545s that we don't really enjoy but uh you
22548s got to do what you got to do and I think
22551s that we're going to come into Grand
22552s finals and we're going to take it
22554s home who I absolutely love hearing that
22558s confidence from you guys I mean it's
22561s really exciting to see you guys play and
22563s I think that the fact that a team like
22565s yours that is putting in that effort
22567s within scrims does have that coaching
22569s backing you up definitely brings another
22572s another level of competition to the
22574s rising scene where it's going to force a
22576s lot of your competitors to learn and I
22578s think that just helps so much with the
22579s growth overall um so I also want to know
22582s kind of what does rising mean to you as
22585s far as calling on Heroes go I want to
22587s hear from you as a player what having
22589s this opportunity to compete me you guys
22593s yeah so I only started playing OverWatch
22595s a few months ago
22597s actually um yeah I've been playing
22600s OverWatch for maybe three and a half
22601s months I've played you know 20 hours of
22604s OverWatch one um so this is really the
22607s first time that I'm getting to get out
22609s there and compete and it feels great I
22612s mean first of all it's amazing to have
22614s such a welcoming space for everybody to
22617s come compete and to grow as
22619s players um and I just I think it's a
22621s wonderful opportunity but for me
22624s personally it's it's a really big deal
22626s uh I love I love the fact that we have
22628s rising and I definitely think that you
22631s all will see me playing in Challengers
22633s soon
22634s enough oh okay well I can't wait to see
22638s that um we do have to unfortunately R up
22640s the wrap up the Chipotle Real Talk
22642s interview though and before we go I'm
22644s going to ask you one your Chipotle or
22646s order if you do order Chipotle and then
22649s two to give any thanks and shout outs
22651s before we end it off yeah okay um I get
22655s the chicken burrito with white rice
22657s black beans squa and the queso sauce
22660s it's pretty good and then I always get a
22662s side of chips and queso just because you
22664s know you gota um as for shout outs you
22667s know my family and my friends I love all
22670s of them so much and of course my
22672s teammates I I wouldn't be here without
22674s them at all um our coaches and our
22678s lovely lovely manager uh always finding
22681s us good scrims and making sure we're
22684s staying on topic and off
22689s tilt well thank you so much for taking
22691s the time to
22693s have and GG's today good luck on
22696s tomorrow and we'll hopefully see you
22698s again soon thank you so
22701s much
22703s oh guys but uh the day is is about to
22707s wrap up so why don't we take a peek over
22709s towards the bracket just to see how
22710s today ended up panning out as we lead
22713s into tomorrow so when we're looking at
22716s the challengers series I know we were
22718s just on Rising so we're backing up a
22721s little bit to what happened earlier
22722s today uh just a series before this Moxy
22726s tell me a little bit about your
22728s expectations as far as like did you
22730s expect the bracket out to pan out this
22732s way I did not expect timless laeral and
22736s y EXL Embers to go to a five map series
22739s especially with how close some of those
22743s games really did become it definitely
22745s looks like t s have been able to get
22747s over the difficulty of that Genji but
22749s it'll be interesting to see moving
22751s forward whether or not nyxl Embers is
22753s going to change up that composition to
22755s deal with it too but I'm not going to
22757s lie I hope when they run into microwave
22760s that they run it so we get to see the
22762s mirror match
22763s up but I what your thoughts there Jan
22765s were you expecting this because I know
22768s again that besty was really a big
22770s surprise between nyxl and Timeless yeah
22773s I mean I think leading into to the
22775s tomorrow's games really we just have to
22777s see what happens with nyxl Embers right
22780s and how could how they could do versus
22781s vver Titans blue that's going to be a
22783s massive game and you know after that one
22786s potentially if I know I don't want to
22788s count out necessarily Vancouver Titans
22789s blue but depending on if nyxl Embers
22792s wins that game against Michael wave that
22794s would also be a fun matchup so
22796s realistically how anything goes tomorrow
22798s I think it's going to be a good day it's
22800s going to be a fire day regardless but we
22803s do have a little bit more left as we
22805s wrap up this post show for you guys so
22809s we know that OverWatch 2 games are a
22811s symphony of chaos but there's always a
22813s moment of silence before the Beat Drops
22815s in any bangers let's see what the bee
22817s quiet play of the day is okay we got
22820s some Tracer gameplay so things are
22821s looking good here so far Moxy oh what's
22824s the pulse 100 it's the sneaky F bomb
22827s there it is right on the
22830s Anna it's a slow oh my
22833s God bun I mean bun is really just one of
22836s those players they have to watch out for
22837s right mhm without an absolute doubt she
22841s has been quite the star throughout the
22843s entirety of calling all heroes but
22846s overall we got tomorrow to look forward
22848s to we've already shown you guys the
22850s bracket it's going to be an
22851s action-packed day I think every single
22853s match is going to absolutely heat up so
22856s again Dogman Moxy thank you so much for
22859s joining me on the stream and joining me
22861s on the desk big shout out also to C and
22863s tala who are with me earlier today and
22865s of course a big thank you to you guys at
22867s home who tune in and help make this all
22869s possible alongside the players and teams
22871s who compete so we'll see you guys
