859s and for the last time this week at dream
862s hack Dallas opened its doors we get to
866s conclude the first owcs major in Lone
869s state of Texas alongside All of You
873s Beautiful People and also alongside all
876s the fancy fancy big brains here on the
878s desk Zoe here joined by Jake and Johnny
882s and our special guest AO a you've been
885s streaming co- streaming all the action
887s over the last two days how it's that
889s been fantastic what a setup I mean
891s amazing Arena amazing event this has uh
894s been such a a privilege honestly dream
896s hack has been awesome so far have you
898s been at a dream hack before uh once in
900s Melbourne but this one's so much bigger
902s always bigger in Dallas and Texas I hear
904s yeah that's that's how I do it around
905s town here uh I WR personal highlights
908s thus far game wise highlights are from
911s game one um which one was game one you
914s going to remind me my memory is look the
917s games went by pretty quickly we're doing
920s the oh no today's game my anunt SSG look
923s come on SSG to me still Top Dogs of the
925s region it's going to be a dog fight
927s though like like an said yesterday um
930s it's close between those two teams I
932s mean they've had so much back and forth
933s in history when you watch all their
934s matches on fa hit in the owcs even if
937s the scrims um it's constant back and
940s forth you know those two teams can
941s really take it to each other so it's
942s it's going to be interesting who wins uh
944s I just I'm just happy to be here and
946s also I'm very happy that both be too
949s still there let's go region Jake just
953s awkward smiling that's okay I just think
955s SSG matches up so well against an I
957s think this is the team that they were
958s built to beat in terms of compositional
960s match up here the sigma so vulnerable to
962s the rush and I mean I think the May Sim
965s that that SSG have innovated have really
967s made their their calling card is exactly
970s what they need to just annihilate the
971s sigma so to be honest I think n has a
973s really really tough compositional match
974s up here right some bias going on here
978s hey I'm I'm repping it I I you know you
981s I I believe I believe for this match
983s they doing they just hooked up every CH
985s with SSG merch and suddenly we were all
987s on board no I mean truth be told it's
989s going to be a darkg fighter as you said
990s but it's going to be a close one
991s hopefully again as it is a rematch can't
993s wait to get all our action started
995s however as a bit of a warmup and a moose

1582s account we've been waffling a bit giving
1584s you some time to do just that uh now
1586s let's get into the nitty critty of the
1588s day we have four teams remaining so
1590s let's bring up our brackets to take a
1592s look at how we got to where we are at uh
1596s starting here with our upper bracket
1598s where we will be seeing no big surprise
1601s really uh with this upper bracket final
1603s team Falcons taking on crazy raccoon uh
1606s also a rematch of course they fac off
1608s against each other however in this
1610s particular tournament here in Dallas we
1611s saw some different looks adal do you
1613s feel like there's a clear favorite here
1615s there's no clear favorite I these two
1616s teams have been Nick and neck so far
1617s they've traded so many games at the in
1619s Asia during thec season I mean czy Ron I
1623s think have typically come out ahead
1625s though they did win the actual Asia
1627s event that qualified them to this event
1629s they look like an extremely strong team
1630s right now I mean I picked them as
1632s favorites to win the Dallas Majors so I
1634s I think they're probably still slightly
1635s ahead but it's very close call at the
1637s moment and I think the same can be said
1639s uh about that lower bracket man ends
1641s going up against SSG is going to be a
1643s close one it was in the past they met
1645s each other in the stage two finals it
1647s was a matap seven Banger will we see a
1650s repeat of that based on what we've saw
1652s thus far in this tournament J personally
1654s I don't think so I think SSG has a great
1657s matchup right now in terms of comps so
1659s far n has been really relying on the
1661s sigma and I think they are one of if not
1663s the best team in the world when it comes
1665s to the raw execution relying on Ker's
1667s flexibility to make that Sigma comp work
1670s but come on a team that has just died in
1672s the wo rushers in SSG they are built to
1676s destroy a sigma comp no matter how good
1677s you are AA you are going to be in a
1679s rough rough matchup against potentially
1681s we could see hotties Ryan come out you
1683s know the May the Sim these are all
1685s textbook Sigma counters so maybe there's
1687s some map picks that that throw off uh
1690s SSG that make it hard to make that style
1691s work maybe there's final late late in
1694s the day adaptations for an but to be
1695s honest I think SSG really has every
1697s Strat they need to win this match but
1698s looking at both those teams Johnny
1700s though I think it should be surprising
1702s to some of our that it is the two EMA
1705s teams finding themselves in these
1706s situations where both na teams have been
1708s knocked out yeah I mean we've been
1710s hyping up to the defiant M80 of course
1711s m80's damage line you're thinking oh
1713s well Pelican and happy they're going to
1715s take it to some some of these teams land
1717s but really I think it was a strategical
1718s out maneuver from some of these teams
1720s vea has played a spectacular Sigma so
1722s far and that's really put a wrench in
1724s things into the we even discussed
1726s yesterday like did we even see the best
1727s from someone on thr Defiance a tank who
1730s we hyped up all year right but wasn't
1731s really able to have a big impact with
1733s the MAA play or the ratra play so I feel
1736s like now looking at these two teams
1737s these really are the best teams that EMA
1740s and na has to offer if you will the two
1742s teams in the west that could take you to
1743s some of the Asian teams I'm really
1744s looking forward to this matchup I think
1746s it's going to be neck and neck these two
1747s teams they also played each other in
1748s phed League last week and that time it
1751s was also space station coming out on top
1753s but it was two and one so you know every
1755s single time we see these two teams they
1757s play each other really close it goes
1759s this distance and I expect more the same
1761s here today absolutely now AAL uh we here
1764s on the desk are very much Reinhardt
1767s enjoyers so to all our AO Delight we did
1769s see SSG busting that compeition out
1772s yesterday and hard set on stage as well
1774s you know like they found something that
1775s worked for them do you think they're
1776s going to continue to run with it today
1778s against then I mean they'll certainly
1779s play the Ryan if the sigma comes to I
1780s actually agree with Jake's Comics a
1782s little bit earlier the matchup here is
1783s probably going to be more difficult for
1784s ants as is mainly playing on that Sigma
1787s I don't think he's going to have a lot
1788s of fun on that in the matchups available
1789s he wants to play them into the malga
1791s hard is not going to bring in the malga
1792s he's going to bring a combination of
1793s Ryan in the ram but solo probably
1795s matches on the ram I think we're going
1796s to get a lot of ram Mage today
1799s yeah I agree with that as well I
1800s actually think we'll see a lot of RAM
1801s and it's also what they've agreed upon
1802s almost like in the past right it's like
1804s okay when we play Head to Head we are
1806s going to play a lot of round now there
1807s is some more Sigma to be played from
1809s ends we've seen that in the past the big
1811s question for me is hardi usually in this
1813s matchup we've actually seen the space
1815s station they like to bring out the
1817s Winston against the sigma composition on
1819s Route 66 for example but in this meta
1822s with MAA having such a presence right
1824s Hardy you can't really afford to bring
1825s out that Winston because the stola is
1827s instantly probably going to swap to that
1829s MAA it's such a powerful Winston counter
1831s so in my mind if your SSG do you even
1833s try to bring out the Winston I don't
1835s think so and I think we'll see more of
1837s from M and sigma because of that let's
1838s take a look at the opposition here team
1840s ends Jake Hardy said in his postgame
1842s interview yesterday that's the team he
1844s wants to face off against do you think
1846s that's Mutual does end want to face off
1848s against SSV here I mean there's no doubt
1850s these teams behind the scenes these
1852s players are close they're all friends
1854s and honestly in my experience there's no
1856s one you want to beat more than your
1857s friends when comes to playing on land
1859s playing on stage and I mean these are
1861s some of the biggest names in in
1863s OverWatch Esports from Europe I mean
1865s kayen kevster this is an elite damage
1867s Duo the backline as well on the squad
1869s very very consistent consistent
1871s performers ghost I think is going to be
1873s under a lot of pressure though this is
1874s really battling for that crown of Europe
1877s we'll see if if he can hang can he be a
1878s Difference Maker coming into the
1880s starting lineup now with with crimzo
1881s stepping back to coach the team as much
1883s as well as we talk about kevster as the
1885s premier kind of Tracer player in this
1887s match as well being able to SW for Genji
1889s the story between these two teams has
1891s actually been that psycho has come in
1893s and made a huge impact here psycho's
1895s Tracer play for example you discussed
1897s yesterday Jake how you would have liked
1898s to seen uh trto Defiance swap over to
1900s Tracer more maybe when K go Genji psycho
1903s has that capability and we saw in the
1905s stage two finals psycho was the impact
1907s maker on that stage two finals he was
1909s subbed in instead of backbone he said
1911s hey Christopher put me in I feel like I
1913s have the capability to clutch out the
1914s stage finals and it was the big
1916s difference for SSG so I think psycho is
1918s the real wild card in this specific
1920s matchup he has had so much impact in
1922s this match and I expect more from him
1923s today when I look to go tw's in as well
1926s you know I really want to see them go
1927s towards the long sideline Maps you want
1928s put for solar on the sigma for something
1930s like a circle rail they can force that
1932s they can put SS in uncomfortable
1933s position beyond that let's see if an
1935s really C if they bring out a Malo
1936s composition something like Jake
1937s mentioned you can put ker and Kai on
1940s this kind of venture Genji combination
1942s that's look really good for teams like
1943s Falcon so far that's something an can
1944s lean into as well well enough yapping
1946s from us I say it's time for predictions
1949s I want to hear it from this desk who do
1951s you have winning this lower bracket
1954s match I'm going to go first I had to go
1958s with SG not just because they provided
1960s with some uh superb merge no it's also
1963s just I feel like there's more
1964s flexibility on this roster I I feel like
1967s we've seen more different things on a
1968s very very high level whereas from ends
1971s still feel like they had to find their
1972s stride to like really counter what the
1974s opposition brought to the table so I
1975s think SSG has to be considered the
1977s favorite Herer what about you
1978s yeah I'm going 32 SS like I said at the
1981s start this is going to be a dog fight I
1982s think these two teams can play close I
1983s think s will come out on top at an they
1986s have some map choices that will put s in
1988s difficult positions I mean the fact that
1989s we have loser picks in this format as
1990s well it will give an the opportunity to
1992s win some maps keep it very competitive
1994s but ants have looked a little bit Shak
1995s here over the course of this tournament
1997s s played Falcons really close so I think
1999s s are probably the better team at at the
2000s moment yeah I have to agree I mean to be
2003s honest I think there's a chance here for
2004s ANS to to take some maps but if they win
2006s the series I'll be really surprised I
2007s think Strat Al they're just in a really
2009s really rough spot relying so much on the
2011s sigma that's kind of like the worst case
2013s scenario against SSG I think you guys
2015s are right probably going to go towards a
2016s ram mirror but when it comes to the rush
2018s mirror just the raw execution from SSG
2021s the team play has been so on point funny
2023s Astro a player I'm going to really have
2024s my eyes on here I think I think one of
2026s the best lucios if not the best in the
2027s world definitely want to watch for the
2029s fans uh at home wanted to learn how to
2031s play Lucio on that next level I think
2033s he's going to be a Difference Maker and
2034s I think besta is going to have a real
2035s real challenge Staying Alive against
2037s that level of aggress from SSG i i al I
2040s too have SSG winning this one I think
2042s they've earned that respect in this
2043s specific matchup because they have
2045s played ends a couple of times now and
2046s one both times it is up to NC Sports to
2049s really turn this narrative around that
2050s they are not in fact the number two they
2053s are the best team in Europe so it's all
2055s on NS here to uh to bring you to this
2056s one that's right well we've got a story
2059s rematch on our hands let's see what our
2061s viewers think are we all right okay
2064s that's actually pretty close though yeah
2066s it's expected yeah well we had three two
2070s predictions right and I think because we
2071s do think it's going to go to the
2072s distance I think it's going to be dark
2073s again these two teams are both close the
2075s history says it's going to go close what
2077s about our crowd here the audience Let's
2079s Hear It Make some noise for
2082s NS okay okay what about
2088s SSG it's louder there may be some
2091s players in the crowd right so they are
2093s currently the number one in EMA let's
2095s see if they can continue to establish
2098s dominance in this rematch maybe NS will
2101s get their Revenge we're about to find
2103s out we're ready for all the action
2104s welcome to day three of the O WCS major
2108s here at dream hack
2115s Dallas they clut up in the final seconds
2118s and M8 AR out of this just yet H take
2122s the round take the map and start off the
2124s series
2125s strong what the Falcons will be the
2128s champion this Primal you cannot do
2130s anything about it students of the game
2132s are headed to land folks and space
2135s station demolish H and claim the title
2137s of stage two Champions the new Kings of
2141s EU have been crowned Twisted mines take
2143s the series and it's a 3-0 victory for
2146s the raccoons the revenge is there
2149s Toronto toight Tower over the
2152s competition and he are backto back stage
2154s champions
2161s it's time for the lower bracket
2163s semifinals ladies and gentlemen put your
2165s hands together for space station
2170s gaming without a doubt the best Rush
2172s team on the planet they've come here to
2174s lay their Mark claim their Crown as the
2177s rightful Kings of EU showing some love
2180s to the fans here in Dallas it's
2182s incredible to see can't wait to see the
2184s level of aggression the flexibility that
2186s this team brings with their new addition
2188s looking so strong looking so threatening
2191s this is going to be a tough game for
2192s their
2195s opponents and their opponents give it up
2201s for and while SSG is number one m is
2204s coming for that throne and boy do they
2207s have the players to do it Cher one of
2210s the best damaged players we have in the
2212s entire world flexible on so many
2214s different Heroes fola has put for some
2216s amazing Sigma gameplay and it is
2218s required here again today against space
2220s station MAA the veteran presence of the
2222s teams played in over SE Grand finals can
2224s it come in clutch here on stage against
2227s the number one team in Europe SSG to
2229s claim that
2230s [Music]
2232s Crown here we go folks it's time to send
2236s one of our teams kening on a collision
2239s course with one of our Asia teams
2241s dropping to the lower bracket of course
2243s this is a fight for survival and a fight
2245s as well for Supremacy in the EMA region
2248s yeah and uh like how the desk was
2249s talking about I think this will be a
2251s really interesting matchup in terms of
2253s styles right uh and snow they want to
2255s play a lot of these Sigma based
2256s competitions where uh Sigma kind of can
2259s fall flat against teams that want to get
2261s past that Shield play aggressive right
2263s with you know SSG they have hotti on
2265s whether it's Reinhardt ratra being able
2267s to use Symetra teleporters uh do some
2270s really interesting stuff there so it's
2272s really a a huge class of styles it's a
2274s matter of record that this space station
2277s gaming Rost has tried to exploit some
2280s inflexibility on the side of an right
2282s try to punish that hero pole we've seen
2285s them try and take ends to maps that
2287s really don't suit that sort of Sigma
2289s style but crimzo coming into this team
2292s has allowed them to overcome that to
2294s some degree we saw very very close Route
2296s 66 set
2298s up between these two where we saw no
2300s dive from an and they were able to come
2303s very very close on that map and of
2305s course congratulations to crimo poping
2308s the
2311s question good luck in the married man
2315s M he's like he's like they camera bu
2319s he's
2321s like he just figured out there's a
2323s camera in the coach it's uh no that's
2325s that's awesome for Crimson it's a it's a
2328s great to talk with him a little bit
2329s earlier in the uh week that you know we
2331s got to sit down with you know the N
2333s Squad as uh look if you have Kai and
2336s kepster like you have a pretty good
2338s chance in every series I think it really
2339s kind of comes down to the tank play
2341s though right uh I know uh if we see
2343s Vesta forced off of that Sigma what do
2346s we see I think uh now according to
2348s reinforce kind of would agree probably
2351s the the mirror you would end up seeing
2353s is like ratra between these two teams
2355s not necessarily like a
2358s MAA first map of the series
2362s predetermined the loser will be choosing
2364s side and map going forward rather same
2368s time Oasis is up first here in this
2371s series it's a map where you for the most
2373s part can play those Rush style
2375s compositions I would say City Center
2377s gets a little
2378s dicey but we've seen in the past
2380s especially when Arisa was a big part of
2382s the meta teams are more than happy to to
2384s bring her in to play that grindy style
2387s out on the point we're not headed to
2389s city center first though so either the
2391s other two
2393s maps will allow for these ratra these
2396s Sigma based setups that are not tce to
2398s see maybe a a rat here yeah I mean that
2401s that would be uh something that would
2402s make sense right and I think it's more
2404s of a thing of your ants right the gates
2407s open and uh we get things kicked off
2409s here if you're in you have a pretty good
2411s idea what Space Station's going to be
2412s doing on the other side right maybe know
2415s give yourself a little bit more even
2416s footing at the start rather than try and
2418s force it sign yeah classic end setup
2421s here sees Kai in the dver SE with a
2424s Cassidy setting up their star one of
2427s them for success and it's been good so
2429s far already two eliminations care of the
2431s Cassidy and space station forced into a
2433s retreat right off the bat yeah we've
2435s seen Falcons use the the the Genji to a
2438s real know high level right extremely
2441s good in this meta it would seem here uh
2445s as we've gone on throughout the weekend
2446s be a more popular pick so you put keer
2448s on that Genji early on puts a lot of
2450s pressure on that Cassidy is that sparker
2452s is going to switch over to the
2453s soier trying to outrange Kai to some
2456s degree also pretty effective in the Poke
2459s game k a little bit low takes a rail gun
2462s not fully charged though so he'll have
2463s an opportunity to back up get topped up
2466s be more than a factor in the fight to
2468s come 70% all charge on that Cassy but
2471s crucially I'm looking at the Baptists
2472s here ghost very close to that first amp
2475s Matrix to really take Kai to another
2477s level of lethality yeah we'll see how
2480s they decided to do it as you see Kai
2481s just putting shots into psycho getting
2483s it quite low as he tries to March up
2485s towards as Harding puts a shield down
2487s now has to going to go into Nemesis for
2489s back up that's going to be the the
2490s immortality F used here for space
2492s station gaming as well yeah and can't
2493s really force a full fight off the back
2494s of that air Matrix so they buy
2496s themselves a little bit of time zyo is
2498s sneaking though on the RP has to
2500s duplicate available pressure now
2502s mounting as K is taken down by a rail
2504s gun it's to duplicated the Baptist here
2505s an extra immortality field is huge to
2507s keep your ratra standing in these fights
2510s struggling imemo removed funny asteroid
2513s gets rid of it and eventually the stone
2514s will fall space station reach a critical
2516s mass who got to climb the point yeah
2520s huge fight win the for space station
2521s gaming as they're able to use that dup
2524s on the side but really it's sparker
2525s Landing that rail shot onto keer as keer
2528s is the one putting a lot of pressure on
2530s that backline consistently on the Genji
2532s so now it'll be a you know in's turn
2535s right how do they end up going out
2536s trying to break this they'll have sound
2538s barrier but it'll be a sound barrier
2539s match here for space station game bit a
2541s poke for now for Kev
2544s defield up the air Matrix is going to be
2546s a big problem for it they going run over
2548s here not in a good position to fight
2551s back and of course land had the later
2553s application Matrix arguably gets far
2556s more value from it too yeah really cheap
2558s kind of Fight Win there for space
2560s station gaming that'll get them up near
2562s about time the game is uh and maybe you
2565s can try and get this sound barrier out
2567s from funny Astro and then end up using
2569s the blade after uh do you use blade to
2572s draw out the beat and then just kind of
2574s like back out for a second then come
2576s back with a big beat advantage of your
2577s own it'll be interesting how they play
2579s it the Vex going to be thrown down to
2581s the back line of space station and are
2583s coming L loses that immortality field
2585s keping a little bit careful Tak some
2587s whale guns of course that overclock is a
2589s bit of a problem sparker laying it down
2591s here's the annihilations in play Hardy
2593s very very low and vel's eventually able
2595s to clean him up with the help of Kai's
2596s Dead Eye from that low ground and lon's
2599s an easy pick off end back in control
2601s just as we drew even on capture
2603s percentage Yeah now they actually do a
2605s nice job inex pushing all the way up
2607s towards that High Ground right players
2608s end up going to The High Ground and then
2609s dropping low kind of out of that
2611s Corridor that they're trying to push
2612s into uh and they have an AM Matrix down
2614s there at the bottom so we'll actually
2616s see ker switch here off of the Genji now
2618s we're going to play the Tracer which
2620s Tracer we've talked about throughout the
2621s event whenever we see Eko always comes
2624s into playo with a d does it go for
2626s another B is copy or not is the question
2630s so far slow going for space station need
2633s to respect Kai can't expose themselves
2635s for that hit scan pressure for too long
2637s Harding was quite low so this is slowed
2638s up the push for space station we have a
2640s duplicate the second Roat but C is
2641s already low immortality field has to be
2643s used to keep the dupat standing with
2645s there a lot of flying fists right now
2647s double nus ratra pushing up for space
2649s station gaming of the Stoler has to
2651s concede some ground but then still
2653s control The High Ground crucially they
2655s are pushed off the point it's flipped to
2657s space station one more fight though
2658s andnow all they need to do is reclaim to
2660s take the round Hardy low very low NES
2664s form now again as mola throws up the
2665s Dukes and very slow slowly looking to
2668s scale onto that High Ground they drop
2670s off instead to force a flip space
2672s station will have to challenge this yeah
2675s your ends you're just building around
2676s these support ultimates you're going to
2677s end up getting the amplification Matrix
2679s here they pop it they take out
2681s sparker all right soier out of the
2683s pitchure now dead I forai any Targets
2685s yes psycho brought down now it's have
2688s the numbers and they have the points
2690s it'll be overtime ticking down and an
2692s will take the first round in this EMA
2694s Clash if we see a rare instance there
2696s where an can controlls High Ground uh
2699s throughout like kind of the the point
2700s there at the end but give up the point
2703s uh to SSG they're holding that High
2705s Ground they don't want to give up that
2707s Advantage know position uh and then also
2709s they just kind of like back out build
2711s those support ultimates and that's
2712s what's huge in the end Kai end up using
2714s that dead eyee he's getting quite low
2715s Masa has that beat to be able to use to
2717s keep him up end up kind of cleaning the
2720s rest of the members of space station
2721s gaming up so see we were kind of
2724s interested how this would go in terms of
2726s Matra miror pretty good for him so far
2729s space station maybe taking on a more
2731s defensive complexion if psycho is going
2733s to walk out of spawn on the
2735s torj keer will have a tougher time
2738s getting into the backline really
2740s harassing those supports and applying
2742s heal pressure it will be the tracing
2744s here for r k is about to find out
2746s exactly what he's dealing with not
2748s uncommon to see the torb in some of
2749s these control
2750s Maps yeah I mean to pretty good against
2753s uh you know flankers in general also
2755s just kind of strong when he can use to
2757s over overload right gets pretty pretty
2760s tanky for a damage dealer is don't think
2762s you're going to see any like response
2764s from this from right anything kind of
2766s like terms of a swap as psycho drops
2770s that in a anti-l position not out on the
2773s point space station have a good little
2775s bunker to play from now but they do have
2776s to fight out on the point taer now
2778s getting that harassment from keer Pops
2780s that overload keer Happ to draw that
2782s cool down out of him and he gets rid of
2783s the turret space station R Shar off the
2786s point for the time being but it won't be
2787s long before they challenge it again
2789s there's keer left hand side watch him
2790s flank around here Landon needs to be
2792s careful that Trac is going to come for
2793s him soon too there Kai brings psycho
2796s down the cassid so favored in a pitch
2797s battle against the Tor yeah they were
2799s like medium range there and actually
2801s hard doesn't have a shield around the
2802s corner and Kai just turns and double
2805s dinks psycho there so early Point
2808s control here in favor to anate huge here
2810s on this point because you can just stall
2812s this for so long SP station still want
2814s to have a crack at this they lost Spar
2817s little late so waiting for the C to come
2819s in and reinforce it that Matrix a bit of
2821s an issue on that left hand side of the
2822s point here ghosto makes use of sh it's
2824s kind of full first Le's able to find the
2826s shot despite being H with the m grenade
2828s he's unbothered Cher brought down as he
2829s tried to harass the Baptist here space
2832s station well navigated they stick
2835s together they save
2837s off yes ah we see psycho switch over to
2839s the Tracer fantastic on that hero like
2842s death was talking about go Toe to Toe
2845s with some of the best in the world on it
2847s is uh going to have to in this series
2849s especially with keer on the other side
2851s but we've seen him do it before as now
2853s an they're on the back foot right they
2855s get a 45% typically we see teams that
2857s get like first control here though like
2859s rack up uh know a lot of percentage so
2861s space station able to flip this pretty
2864s fast again eyes on keer now a pulse to
2867s work with on this spak has been forced
2869s off the T the Reco though at audacious
2871s from C to try and stick psycho there
2874s Dead Eye Everyone Falls back into the
2875s corner space station again on on the
2877s back foot Annihilation used here by bolo
2879s wants to try and take some ground but
2881s has to respect spar's Dead Eye now falls
2884s back ooh that's dangerous stop spker
2886s eventually brought down keer only had to
2888s do at 13 damage easy job for the
2891s Tracer see that a graph there at the
2894s bottom how uh the ties shifted as soon
2896s as Moss ends up using that sound barrier
2898s they use the annihilation and uh know it
2901s goes about a 50/50 in terms of damage
2903s and healing done to somewhere like 8020
2906s uh just a huge Advantage there for end
2908s towards the end of that fight and uh you
2910s see everybody from space station fall
2912s rather quickly
2914s so the P bombs P do anything in that
2917s previous fight maybe pyo can land when
2919s you're early buunny asro potentially a
2921s Target it's the ant Matrix that might be
2923s important for Landon last time he turned
2924s into a kill on Kai that open up a pretty
2927s one-sided fight for space
2929s station pycho giving a tickle now knows
2931s he can work around behind the air Matrix
2933s okay pulse comes up a little bit short
2935s K's able to hot Skip and jump away from
2936s it
2937s space St will play around there Matrix
2939s on the point OFA couldn't quite get away
2941s caught on the corner by Hardy and that
2944s swing claims his opposite number space
2946s station not a moment too soon flip the
2948s point
2949s [Music]
2950s back man this has been so Back in Forth
2953s I think like we've expected uh these two
2955s teams in the mix
2957s so yeah ghost just get forward up their
2960s spawn now the players using the movement
2962s Tech and they the spawn just get a
2964s little bit further up now think with the
2967s inclusion of flash point right we're now
2968s down to seconds about how fast we can
2970s get out yeah it's a science optimize
2973s that
2974s is and let's see you have this kind Dead
2977s eyee coming in here right but I mean you
2979s have this uh mid of pill you can just
2982s get right around this here as a Hardy
2984s that's Nemesis for him out early here is
2986s it dangerous big flank has got to work
2989s out Kai ignoring Sparkle for the time
2990s being there big damage on Hardy with
2992s that Dead Eye and forces a sound barrier
2993s from funny Astro sparker still trying to
2996s make something happen here they for Kai
2998s away who doesn't seem to benefit from
2999s the sound barrier at all so he has to
3000s play safe here the rest of ents though
3003s going to try and come forward this is a
3005s problem High Ground Control for spark we
3007s in a dead eye means that all events have
3008s to scatter but we're in overtime space
3010s station now 99% they brought down for
3012s ster once more Hardy wins the one to one
3014s in the tank line D sparker is huge B
3017s manufacturing the kill out of literally
3019s nowhere but that pulse is beautiful
3021s immortality field was there for ghost
3023s but it's not enough to stop space
3024s station the Avalar come Crashing Down
3027s and we're even on ois yeah getting the
3030s kill on bista there is so important he
3033s had like you know switches the Doom
3034s there to to get back but when he was on
3036s the ratra was about 94 95% there towards
3040s the annihilation you would have been
3042s able to step up onto that point no
3044s contested for a little bit longer would
3046s have given them a little bit better
3047s position right you could have played
3048s aggressively around that so getting the
3050s tank out of the equation their space
3053s station was
3054s massive happen two consecutive fights
3057s stol got caught there by
3059s hardi can be tough especially when ant
3061s Matrix is involved the amount of burst
3063s damage coming your way same issue I
3065s guess when you go up against
3067s Echo really hard to know when to hold
3069s them and when to fold them all right off
3071s to University now for our last round of
3074s Oasis compositionally we do see psycho
3076s move back over to the echo yeah it was
3080s uh takes a lot of damage towards The
3083s High Ground they actually be getting
3084s Master though as both teams just like so
3087s aggressively for that High Ground as I
3089s know keer comes out on the Genji here
3091s first so a lot of these compositions
3093s kind of like how we saw on that first
3094s Corner space station had to go up a gear
3097s pretty quickly there is Landon uses a
3099s super early uh regenerative burst and
3103s had some decent poke as they made their
3104s way up to The High Ground going have to
3106s do it once more now as space station
3108s will leave Hardy I guess as the vam on
3110s the point and play back off it and
3112s behind you and I was wondering if we see
3114s a potential like Tracer swap for Kevin
3117s cuz typically right Tracer against the
3120s echo as he goes there to The High Ground
3122s no deflect as he kind of crosses back
3123s over the point and falls at the hands of
3126s Landon so really good start here for
3128s space station yeah here's the Tracer so
3130s you see the kind of DPS players uh just
3133s trying to match each other for either
3134s team uh already an Matrix for landed
3137s built that awful fast Ghost In fairness
3140s not too far can he get a good one here
3142s okay just throw it in the opening a Kai
3144s instantly exploits that to the detriment
3146s of Landon
3147s blown up instantly and Matrix still in
3150s the back pocket so very quick flip back
3152s here for M it wouldn't be entirely
3154s shocked if know you're so close to the
3156s duplicate but potentially see psycho go
3158s over to Tracer just uh match this comp
3161s for comp at the moment but this next
3164s sight for space station gaming right you
3165s have your own ant Matrix there dropped
3167s by ghost in the previous fight gives Kai
3169s a nice window towards that point you
3171s have that opportunity here for Space
3173s Station to create the same type of thing
3175s intended up short Lo
3177s very low think hit with the m grenades
3178s they trying to back away but he's
3179s already slow when he's in that defensive
3181s stance they made it all the worse
3184s glacial Pace as he dragged himself off
3186s the point not nearly fast enough the
3189s space station come clapping in and what
3191s do you even do if you're pistola in that
3193s situation right uh you know you see the
3195s other team walking up you're you're
3196s obviously the tank you're really the
3198s only one playing on the point there for
3199s he took two head shot I think early
3200s that's the issue yeah it's like two head
3202s shot then obviously the Cassie with the
3204s roll know gets the the reload then now
3206s the Matrix in your way even with Nemesis
3208s form blocking some of that damage
3210s overall not going to be able to live
3212s through it aggressive Annihilation now
3215s out from molus the sound barrier gave in
3217s the durability to withstand that cast of
3218s the alt Hardley pops his as well F asro
3221s of course went for the beat and it works
3222s out space station able to stay healthy
3224s through all of this eventually funny
3226s Astro has to succumb but he's done his
3228s job more than enough in this fighto
3231s eventually part with some of those cool
3232s downs and the focusing being will
3233s account for pistola big lead now for
3236s Space Station
3237s mat yeah space station looking to take
3239s control of this one coming into this
3241s next fight potentially last fight
3242s territory right amp Matrix again here
3245s for Landon as you'll have one for ghost
3248s as well as the Baptist players soaking
3250s up all the healing amongst these two
3252s team so see uh an Works their way back
3257s towards the point here it'll have to be
3258s V probably Step Up get a touch and then
3261s I expect this mrix come rather quickly
3263s it's going to be volatile this next
3264s fight especially if Kai is set up to use
3265s that M Matrix straight away could be an
3267s instant kill gets thrown down hard able
3269s to play from behind his shield here both
3271s teams with an matrices that mirror one
3274s another side room is where looking to
3276s Plate through here they're able to take
3278s control of it space station have no
3279s reason to give up any players in order
3281s to maintain to positioning they'll let
3283s it get flipped for
3285s now oh that's big that's huge going to
3288s push up here duplicating ratra oh that
3290s pressure mounting on ghost he has to use
3292s a self immortality F and it's still not
3294s enough to keep him alive he stepped out
3296s of it oh I mean the Dead Eye here is
3298s hardly an issue psycho he's on borrowed
3300s health and yeah drop the twinings on him
3304s first map the number one seed from EMA
3307s it's space station gaming out in front
3310s yeah ends looked good early on but then
3312s SSG started to find their flow it felt
3314s like throughout the rest of the map as
3317s psycho goes huge they on the echo we
3319s were talking a little bit you know we
3321s saw psycho play a bunch of her
3323s throughout this right you know thought
3324s maybe when you see the Tracer on the
3326s other side you decided to match but his
3327s Echo was so effective there in that last
3329s point we saw rash miror for virtually
3332s the entire map there obviously that's
3334s something that we know ANS like to play
3336s it's a comfort pick for them but you
3338s could say the same for space station
3340s curious is here curious to her are hear
3342s what her Des thinks about this next
3345s map thank you so much Mitch and Matt
3348s yeah let's he it Jake Johnny sg's
3350s pulling your head in this one um there
3353s were a lot of great individual
3354s performances on both teams but I want to
3356s focus here on the SSG side for this one
3359s uh sparker obviously the phenomenal on
3361s Cassidy but also psycho Tracer he's been
3363s such a Difference Maker thus far in the
3365s tournament here in Dallas I mean just a
3367s match kevster is one thing I think that
3369s already really impresses me on when it
3371s comes to flexible DPS players but to
3373s pull ahead I feel you know coming out on
3375s the first round bringing out the echo to
3377s deal with the Genji looked wonderful uh
3379s wasn't able to take that round but then
3381s going toe to- toe on Tracer in round two
3383s I mean if you can beat kevster on his
3385s best heroes you can take him down in his
3386s whe house honestly an is often relying
3388s on the Gap in that role so psycho the
3391s addition to this team being able to
3392s stand Toe to Toe I think this is just a
3394s game changer for SSG as a team the
3396s addition to the roster really paying off
3398s and the fact that they're not scared to
3399s take this mirror I think they have a ton
3400s of confidence in it really speaks to
3402s their advantage in the series yeah and
3403s also when it comes to Psycho you know he
3405s showed flexibility that is really
3406s crucial in this matchup you know we've
3408s seen kevster Flex over to the Genji but
3410s hasn't really worked out for him because
3411s psycho doeses such a good job on the
3413s Echo and also fxing over to this Tracer
3415s right but even some something we haven't
3417s really seen this tournament but we did
3418s see last week as well is that psyo is
3420s able to play the Venture if as from him
3422s as well if the MAA comes out for example
3424s so keep your eyes peeled if we see some
3426s Mala for SSG psycho could come in handy
3428s playing The Venture as well it's a pick
3430s that he has in his pocket but a lot of
3432s the echo play dominance here Jake yeah I
3434s think Ekko has been a really interesting
3436s hero to see come up in the comp and with
3438s Baptist Cass on the field there's so
3440s much pressure you're coming your way
3441s it's not easy to get done I mean I think
3443s Matt called it out well there's a chance
3444s that you might feel okay maybe I can't
3446s retake on Echo maybe I need to just just
3448s make some space on Tracer so that my
3449s team can even get through the choke but
3451s psycho managing to get it done on the
3452s hero paying huge dividends later into
3454s the round being able to hold point with
3456s that Echo so effective with that
3458s ultimate I mean adding so much power
3459s right whether you come out on another
3461s support like the batist giving your team
3463s more sustain more damage with the amp
3464s Matrix uh or sometimes the ratra copy I
3466s mean so much flexibility really Eko that
3468s I mean come on if you're talking about
3470s flexible DPS players there's no here
3471s you'd want them on more than Eko it's
3474s it's really cool to see uh them taking
3476s it to K and Kai as I said early on right
3479s because those are some of the greats we
3481s have in O Esports history so that is no
3484s small feet let's talk about uh the
3486s Cassidy play here as well a little bit
3488s sparker I think uh yesterday already did
3491s so much for this team today once again
3495s really a stand up performance on Cassidy
3497s yeah and sparker is another player who I
3499s think is instrumental in this match up
3500s because sparker dictates so much of what
3503s SSG wants to do we typically look at the
3505s tank players as you know you know their
3507s pick really demonstrates what is a play
3508s style what are we going to achieve with
3509s this composition but sparker
3511s specifically in this matchup he does a
3513s great job of setting up flanks taking
3515s off angles and with that cassid play
3517s Landing those big hit scan bullets onto
3519s ends that is going to open up a lot of
3521s these fights so sparker is crucial in
3523s these team fights also sparker I mean
3525s they set him up for Success ampli
3527s amplification Matrix placement for your
3529s Cassidy playing around the deadi ey as
3531s well and setting up your City player
3533s sparker is a player to keep your eyes on
3535s because he does so much for this SSG
3537s team and now uh of course with this loss
3540s in map number one 's pick uh will be
3543s coming up which map which map type do
3546s you think they want to go for here I
3548s mean it's got to be circuit Royale or
3550s some escort pick you've got to block
3551s block the the jalter you want to go to
3553s Circuit Ro against I mean I you do I
3556s mean it's it's circuit roale it it has
3557s to be an escort map I I feel jalter is
3560s almost an auto loss for NS I don't think
3562s they can compete on that map without
3564s without a Winston player um and so
3566s lacking Chase here at the tournament I
3568s feel like you have to block pick escort
3570s they could throw a wrench in the works I
3571s think Circle Royale if anything is the
3572s obvious choice take it to a map where
3574s Sigma can be super effective um however
3577s another escort pick Havana interesting
3578s you know I think Sigma does work well
3580s here maybe a different look and
3582s something that if I was SSG I would have
3584s come into this match very prepared for
3586s Circle Royale we would have talked it
3588s over we would have VOD reviewed it
3589s because it's the textbook pick but this
3591s is that perfect place in the tournament
3592s to throw a curveball at your opponents
3594s and I think an that's what they need to
3596s do they need to to come out with
3597s something unexpected here need to maybe
3599s break some of the preparations from SSG
3600s because the team play has just been so
3602s clean that first map and honestly every
3604s time these teams face off it goes the
3606s distance but SSG has the edge yeah I
3608s mean this is a map we haven't really
3609s seen that much from the EMA and na team
3611s so far because in Old WCS Adana hasn't
3613s really been around in the pool so it's a
3615s new map for both of those teams and if
3616s your end of course this is another
3618s opportunity to get a leg up of an
3620s opponent that has pretty much dominated
3622s you so far this year the thing is with
3624s those two teams obviously coming from
3626s the same region they are very familiar
3628s with each other with each other's play
3630s Styles those players go way back as well
3633s do you feel like elements of surprise
3635s will do anyone any favorites here or do
3637s you just feel like both should just
3639s really rely heavily on their Comforts in
3642s the end though I think if you're if
3643s you're ends I think you're the ones who
3644s need to throw a wrench in the works to
3646s be honest the rush mirror yes they play
3648s well but SSG is on a different level
3650s when it comes to the team play we talk
3652s about individuals but I think the team
3653s play is what really elevates SSG as a
3656s unit that they work together so
3657s effectively all the individuals are very
3659s comfortable on their hero but what that
3661s allows them to do is push things to the
3662s next level be just a little bit greedy
3664s or you see funny Astro holding his Beats
3666s so late into these fights it's really
3668s hard to deal with that normally the
3669s punishment is it's just not easy to keep
3671s people alive while while being greedy
3673s and holding the sound barrier but
3674s they're so experienced as a unit their
3676s communication every time we do a listen
3677s in is so on point I mean you've got to
3679s change something up if your ends maybe
3681s make this more of an individualistic
3683s game where I think head-to-head there's
3684s more of an even match up yeah I mean I
3686s think we're going to see the sigma come
3687s out from Bolan and all this but the big
3689s question for me as well is overcoming
3690s the spawn Camp because we've seen M80 M8
3693s has picked this map twice so far this
3694s tournament obviously they lost both
3696s first points right so how do you prevent
3698s the SSG spawn Camp here and get out of
3699s the spawn doors well we find out in just
3701s a second as map number two is
3706s ready it is indeed folks we're headed
3708s over to Havana for our second back and
3711s jakay kind of pointed out this idea of
3713s you know going to escort trying to block
3716s you know the obvious rash composition by
3719s going to circuit for example but that
3721s was not the plan for red and I'm glad we
3723s talk about the spawn C cuz that's
3725s something we've seen already from SSG
3726s and it is
3728s oppressive yeah now something we've uh
3730s you know in the games of we casted for
3732s SSG uh know we've always seen psycho for
3734s map number one but then sometimes we see
3736s backbone come in a lot of times like May
3738s different types of competitions but uh
3740s symmetra as well it'll be Psycho who
3742s stays in here for this map so it looks
3745s like it will be space station on defense
3748s here they're going to go with that
3748s aggressive spawn camp like mentioned
3750s it's going to be all the pressure on in
3753s to get out hard has no problem
3754s telegraphing this is Echo those stes hid
3756s at the start of the round so they don't
3757s know if there's an echo in play yet just
3761s a little pick from keur onto the Genji
3762s we goes here space station looking to
3765s exchange pleasantries right at the front
3767s door very much an expected circumstance
3770s as far as ENT concern Here Comes psycho
3772s now revealing himself on that Echo
3773s sticky bombs of aala forc him back his
3776s four yes keer makes the swap so we saw
3779s them have more success with the Genji
3781s composition in map number one ends but
3783s you ultimately have no answer for this
3785s Echo and your tank is going to get first
3786s down and that's kind of ended up what's
3788s happening so at least it makes maybe
3790s Sol's life a little bit easier though
3792s with eper on Tracer maybe not as
3794s exposive towards the back line of space
3797s station but putting pressure on psycho
3798s allows the solo to live a little bit
3800s long High's an issue he's definitely
3801s something that needs to be dealt with
3802s but this whole time he's been pre-firing
3804s and space station have been able to IGN
3806s him playing close to this left hand side
3809s they just shuck off the Cassidy shots he
3812s back up over them and that's a
3813s successful first spawn Camp fight for
3815s the Defenders yeah I mean uh you're
3817s going to have both support offs for
3818s space station gaming right money Astro
3820s basically at a be Master not not a great
3823s opportunity to build if here on offense
3825s K does have this dead ey maybe back
3827s players up a little bit Matrix early all
3830s right funny as here trying to make it
3831s half of a to get back into spawn but
3833s with the tenacity buff on your tanks it
3835s is hard to shift them away from that
3838s door air Matrix here for ghost now Let
3840s It Go might be a beaten response to
3842s funny Astro we'll see how much space
3843s station want to spend here and it's a
3845s little too late that beat just doesn't
3847s come quickly enough to keep sparker
3848s alive and going to be with the focusing
3850s be a one for one trade and there's more
3852s to come Master can't even escape the
3854s psycho D the Cassidy this is going from
3856s bad to worse awfully
3858s quick this is uh you knew this was a
3861s possibility right picking this map uh we
3863s see everybody play the close spawn to
3865s our hold is oh that's the Dead Eye there
3867s from psycho there towards the end of
3869s that duplicate so if this feels super
3872s bad though right you have these
3872s ultimates but to use them just to get
3874s out of the spawn feels pretty brutal is
3876s uh a walk up with the Dead Eye it's a
3878s nice hit that'll have to be enough one
3880s pick here for an and then a pulse bomb
3882s used to remove at least Landers IM
3884s morality fi and going to get out of
3887s Spawn here finally it's taking them over
3888s 2 minutes to do so though space station
3891s on the upside for at least have had to
3893s use some of those defensive ultimates to
3894s try and hold their ground beat chiefly
3897s among those in the previous fight and
3899s they'll continue with this Echo look
3901s it's been pretty effective thus far
3902s right until the Tracer on the other side
3904s starts giving you real trouble stay with
3907s this Echo put some even more pressure on
3909s the tank and as Jake mentioned the
3911s duplicate so uh so impactful whether
3913s it's like a ratra dude or a
3916s bapti SP again playing close together
3918s playing out of line of sight for Kai the
3921s St ghostly Annihilation here Harding two
3923s space station have to contest this
3925s though they cannot let this C go for
3926s free so down they drop both ratra
3929s ultimates have expired it's going to be
3930s the sound barrier difference from Masa
3932s and he lets it go with the help of the
3933s immortality now he surges forward land
3935s was caught out from behind his own a
3937s matrix and starting to string a couple
3939s good fights together building that head
3941s of
3942s Ste yes SG looked like they were trying
3944s to get uh you know players set up
3946s potentially uh towards that High Ground
3949s wrapping all the way towards that left
3950s and a nice play by Masa they use the
3952s sound bar they go right up towards that
3954s staircase even through that ant Matrix
3956s and challenge so and once they break
3959s that spawn hole they're able to get
3960s their first point and here this is a
3962s good swap right uh we talking about this
3964s Echo vers Tracer the echo is not good at
3966s this part of the map right this low
3968s stealing makes it very difficult to
3970s L award fight place for space station of
3973s here they don't really have a staging
3975s ground whereas en taking control of this
3977s Courtway instead a part of the brewery
3979s guys playing off angle this could be
3981s dangerous though but it denied this rage
3982s could be devastating the Boop there
3985s nicely done by Mara ghost had an
3986s immortality field
3988s up the funny as to to redirect Kai there
3992s spker in the safe position now finally
3994s space station have gotten into a PO
3996s position K was never getting out of
3998s there
3999s alive extremely low just going to make
4002s it back towards that choke is
4006s uh chasing keer here little Tracer One V
4009s one has some help from funny Astro as
4012s well so they'll back up a little bit
4013s here want to control that we see the
4016s blocking off that right hand side right
4017s you know denying that staircase to that
4019s High Ground maybe forcing them to go all
4021s the way around the
4022s opposite this could be Telegraph though
4024s space station will see it
4026s coming keer wants to sneak in by his
4028s load ground I think it's one psycho he's
4030s attending to the
4032s cart opt not to try and fight for the
4034s stairs so they are in a bit of an
4036s awkward spot though having high ground
4039s to what degree they're willing to spend
4041s on getting up here we got your answer
4042s here they come hard a little bit low
4044s that barrier was a problem for land it
4046s get cleared so he can get healing back
4047s to his main tank that's aggressive
4049s Annihilation here Landon has a
4050s regenerative verse though so he pulls
4051s hard and Co back psycho's in trouble
4053s those M ster theme rolls on the low
4055s ground last few picks of that
4057s Annihilation expiring but enough to
4059s catch out the enemy Tracer s barrier for
4061s an CH doesn't get it but the rest of the
4063s squad looking healthy honey asro into to
4065s reciprocate and gives enough time for
4067s the shots to come in from the high
4069s grounds again and are going to be forced
4070s back we're going to be down about a
4072s minute left in this round yeah I think
4074s the original part of the fight was
4075s really one that like space station
4076s necessarily wanted I think they actually
4078s wanted like maybe bait hottie a little
4080s bit get him quite low then in pushes up
4081s through that high ground and then you
4082s get that ant Matrix there and position
4084s where you can put down some damage on
4086s Bola maybe another player walks through
4087s and then go around the corner and Chase
4089s they end up being a little bit more
4090s aggressive right going outside using
4092s that ant Matrix Thea pops you know his
4094s Annihilation just kind of takes out
4096s psycho on the payload right def this
4097s like mini game on the side that one V
4099s one against Kev 3 is quite low gets
4101s taken out right away as H see a spark or
4103s dead out you'll walk up get there some
4106s damage get quite low Oho doesn't stick
4110s it but Kai didn't have the mobility to
4111s avoid it shot after shot here sparker
4114s linting him up losing P so early
4116s devastating for potentially but ghost
4118s givs as good as he gets he takes care of
4120s the cassid from the low ground but aren
4122s in a position to really fight for the
4123s objective yeah and with ghost that
4125s position there's no way you're going to
4126s be able to keep a alive right so far
4128s away on that Baptist needs the
4130s immortality kill versus it'll be keer
4133s gets on the payload he'll keep him
4134s moving here for an know we get closer to
4137s but an have this High Ground now they
4139s have a lot of space space station forced
4141s to try and filter in through that small
4143s window good damage of a sto of though is
4145s close to Annihilation that could be what
4147s SEALs it for he's going to be forced
4149s Downy had to recall there now the M come
4151s in for The High Ground for stolen tries
4152s to play ahead of it but he's knocked
4154s back now Sparky can make use of this but
4156s it's not a Target which environment by
4158s any stretch the card is moving Master
4160s exposes himself freely but it's brought
4162s down hard needs to make this work now
4164s close to an Annihilation and funny
4165s Astros given him the time to build it up
4167s but psycho's gone there's no Tracer in
4169s play The High Ground position might be
4171s good for sparker to make use of but
4172s Hardy has seen better days yes sparker
4174s gets Master now Hardy back to the card
4176s is brought down by Kai enough damage
4178s from the Cassidy nowhere to go for
4180s Sparkle he's forced into the corner and
4183s aren't done just yet the sky with three
4186s as psycho will back out as then get that
4189s second checkpoint and when space station
4191s kicks that off right they have that
4192s Matrix they use it up on the high ground
4194s but where the payload is at the time
4196s there's really no great line of sight
4197s for sparker right he kind of comes out
4199s doesn't want to walk all the way out
4201s because then you lose the benefits of
4202s the a matrix also your extremely easy
4204s target as the payload you know the
4206s position there at the time Mak it very
4208s difficult for space station game and get
4209s values out of some of that in Nemesis
4212s form very quickly was taken low and that
4214s Air mrix Forces space station to play Ay
4216s from this low ground for nowo wouldn't
4218s dare blink up try and make this pulse
4221s buum Work Land just got CAU out in line
4223s of start to K through the window damage
4225s air Cassidy forced to be reckoned with
4228s and eventually hard is brought down now
4229s and are pushing the C up behind this
4231s fight you can see it about to around the
4233s corner and and think about how this map
4235s started right a really good spawn Camp
4237s from SSG it looked pretty brutal for
4240s Anson I know they clutch out point A and
4243s B and now look at this payload progress
4245s here towards the end only 30 seconds on
4247s the clock but could be pretty brutal
4249s though on offense oh that was nice they
4252s tried to get the immortality field there
4253s just not time now pulse pum came down on
4255s but the shots from spark already set
4257s that up and here's space station this
4259s only leave end with only one half ass
4262s attempt at finishing the
4264s map K goes over to
4267s Widow
4271s get all right it's all about speed here
4273s for space station hero selection
4275s dictated by with the card is in the fact
4277s we in overtime nice couple of shots for
4279s Kovac Kai here but no kills as a result
4281s and ker is down an Matrix for landed
4284s it's a tough proposition
4286s for to address S Bar should seal it Kai
4289s realizes there's no shot to be made
4291s right now everyone too healthy Thea has
4293s to stall no other choice but that'll be
4295s that 's going to be brought to a stop
4297s just outside that last C sack yeah I
4300s mean they're forced to charge face first
4302s into Landon's amp Matrix there towards
4305s the end uh very difficult to play from
4307s that position especially when the sound
4309s barrier comes in as well so but I I will
4312s say I think that's actually you're ins
4315s right pretty positive in the sense that
4317s you were getting spawn cam for what was
4318s it probably a minute and a half right oh
4320s it was two and a half minutes two and a
4321s half minutes uh and then now you go into
4324s like OT and the second checkpoint right
4326s so to even be able to get through this
4328s uh you know how how far they did
4330s probably a pretty positive sign if
4332s you're and let's not forget time was
4335s getting very short in this second phase
4337s of the map too is an were constantly
4338s jocking for a way to get that High
4340s Ground I think they end up having like a
4341s a a messy fight and they just use spawn
4344s advantage to to be able to take that to
4346s be able to move up on that right hand
4347s side just above bule they're running now
4350s or whatever it takes I mean we knew it
4351s would be a dog fight I think that's
4353s exactly what Master said yesterday
4355s that's playing out here on hanana thus
4357s far D go for the same and this is
4360s something interesting from in
4361s potentially right you know this is a
4363s compal type of uh variant you would
4365s expect to see from SSG right you know
4366s keer obviously a fantastic M player for
4370s SSG we usually see like backbone come in
4372s uh play that may at an extremely high
4374s level it's typically a comp you would
4377s see SSG use to give a lot of other teams
4379s some fits we see how they adjust it's a
4381s big strength for S I really think the
4382s flexibility that c to brings is uh tough
4385s to replicate space station have an extra
4387s player in order to to do that so little
4390s spawn camp start with space station no
4392s seen this one many many many times
4394s before and it's the Venture pyo watch
4397s out pops up H ker there may wall used to
4400s attempt to catch them out PSO those
4403s quick enough get back to safety as his
4405s body yeah the biggest thing is is to
4408s watch how when psycho uses get back
4411s towards that back line and I mean just
4413s the assassination there on toai uh
4416s Venture could be so devastating right
4418s you think about know Venture where they
4422s don't need to take any damage on the way
4424s in right I know typically with some of
4426s our other flankers whether it be Genji
4428s Tracer I know I guess you want to throw
4431s Reaper in the mix right potentially uh
4433s have to take some type of inherit risk
4436s to like access the back line Venture
4438s doesn't really need to do that and comes
4439s up and does some damage right away they
4441s often have to use Dr rush to escape but
4443s well you can also do it in this order
4445s right secing of drill Rush first then
4448s burrow too here is
4451s threatening can't drop down no one
4453s looking at this Venture so a lot of free
4455s damage on B here how do you find success
4458s there is the robra too much damage ghost
4461s gets taken down by that
4462s emergency K's able to throw some back
4466s just not enough here I really feel like
4468s space station much more comfortable
4469s playing this style yeah something we
4472s were thinking about you know for like
4473s crazy R for Falcons right is how
4476s effective will that ventory continue to
4478s be you see here for space station
4480s already paying off now don't look can
4482s the access the backline really fast and
4485s do tons of damage on the outcome they're
4487s also difficult to take out right you
4489s know they start to generate these
4491s shields as they go in and do some damage
4493s and right there you see they lose G
4494s straight away oh there go those mon as
4496s well it's all time that's dirty too two
4499s off the ultimate and again baptist is
4501s definitely thre by this he doesn't have
4503s lateral Mobility he can pop up with the
4505s EXO boots but that doesn't allow him to
4507s get some distance from Venture switch
4509s the tray here yeah yeah that's I was a
4513s tracer mirror here so with some of the
4516s high ground and whatnot Venture may not
4518s work as well V I mean they suffer the
4520s same sort of issues with verticality to
4522s some degree as frer does v can actually
4524s use that drill Rush get up i' digress
4527s though ghost again getting picked off
4528s first a lot of pressure on the newest
4530s addition to end this B player struggling
4532s to hang yeah still not getting away to
4535s left right good night I think it's just
4536s a really early ant Matrix I think that
4538s kind of catches off guard thinks are
4540s going to kind of like wrap up there take
4541s that High Ground he play from the
4543s position that we kind of saw SSG play
4545s from but land Co in position use that
4547s ANM come around the corner you find one
4549s kill that basically forces into the back
4551s off all the way and look at how much car
4553s progress they're going to get off of
4554s this
4556s getting awfully close going to be just
4558s under that bridge just pass it in fact
4560s space station can occupy this High
4562s Ground I would like to move
4565s in looking to serve an eviction notice
4567s to the attackers but as a dead eye from
4569s sparker both teams make use of those amp
4571s mates ghost mortality F
4574s down okay little awkward for spark is
4576s able to avoid this line of side still C
4578s much more than stand here hard is
4581s eventually going to go
4583s down so here it is it's finally break
4585s back in to the brewery
4588s face yeah but Ian 3 minutes on the clock
4592s a lot of things to go their
4595s way finishes off some players there can
4597s take a little bit of a breather
4598s basically both teams just mirroring
4601s ultimate usage there throughout that
4603s entire fight is both uh beat and Matrix
4607s Annihilation both dead eyes you know the
4609s immortality field used basically the
4611s same exact time to kind of protect those
4614s cidies with those dead die so uh now get
4618s a real good shot here the big thing is
4619s is look how big you know how look how
4622s fast Landon is able to build oh anim
4625s that's going to be two kills here from
4627s sparker honey Astro boeda back to the
4629s low ground that massive that gives space
4632s station the ability just to walk up and
4633s then you set sparker in a awesome spot
4636s to be very punishing from that High
4637s Ground just a little moment there from P
4640s Astro ends up basically turning the
4641s fight in favor of space station and it
4643s looks like going to position himself
4644s here po
4647s he gets keer keer might not be able to
4648s push through this attempt to anyway
4651s pulse here would end the ratra good
4653s patience though imot K Used taken out
4656s very quickly keer was able to find
4658s Landon K has no choice but to roll up
4660s and roll out yes even though keer finds
4664s a kill on to Landon doesn't really
4666s matter that much right as Landon does
4669s have that a matrix to use for a little
4671s bit of extra to push them over the line
4673s here so this will be like the toughest I
4674s mean this is historically the toughest
4676s part of Havana you know getting uh
4678s towards this last point where there's so
4680s much in High Ground here for the defense
4683s but luckily for space station you don't
4684s actually even have to kind of get it
4685s like under that underpass right that's
4687s usually where we see a lot of steams
4688s really struggle uh the you know
4690s checkpoint the box of Victories kind of
4692s right in front of them
4693s here Master Swift work there to get
4697s away a true Z Ultimate at the end there
4701s from SP oh going See the s from Kai he's
4704s not able to find anything oh he's not
4705s ready for that that's back breaking the
4707s look on Kai's face I think you realize
4708s that might be the map right there can
4711s space station capitalized now on C's
4714s absence ghost there brazenly standing
4717s out the open behind that window and he's
4719s asking for it nice couple shots here
4721s from sparker he is free firing now we to
4724s the last stretch M and are
4726s struggling yeah this is going to be
4728s really brutal here for an to potentially
4730s get a hold is Kai over Widow just maybe
4734s see if he can get one shot off they
4736s going swi back try and recontest they're
4738s going to be walking into another a
4740s matrix in the annihilation here hard
4742s yeah Annihilation has to be used pretty
4743s much instantly by theer as soon as he
4745s starts to get low he's the beat now we
4747s come forward and looking to try and
4748s retake control of this bridge and space
4749s station happy enough to give it to them
4751s Matrix taken down ke the season as he
4753s walks into the room and he gets landed
4754s but here's the annihilation imortality
4756s field of ghost is gone St here with the
4757s pulse box the burst is good but not
4759s enough to break through that tough
4760s exterior of ratra but spark his damage
4762s is pulse was good from ker but not near
4765s nearly
4766s enough two reads the score as space
4770s station snatch up
4771s Havana yeah even with space station not
4773s having the beat there right funny Ash
4775s does a nice job using the speed try and
4777s disengage kind of forces and to go
4781s really deep to get some of those kills
4783s it opens up a little bit of the map
4784s there for sparker and psycho to come up
4786s with some huge kills here on the
4789s point Match Point already upon us that
4793s was a n selection
4795s the choice to go to Havana was one they
4797s made knowing full well they'd have to
4799s contend with the spawn Camp they'd have
4802s to contend with spark of Cassidy and
4805s have to deal with psycho on a number of
4806s different picks great to see Adventure
4808s it work really really well let's head to
4809s the desk and break down map number
4811s two thank you so much gentlemen desk
4815s back here in action Jake Johnny let's
4817s break it down at the very end there ker
4820s Tracer tried to make one last Valiant
4822s effort but I really felt like sparker
4824s pick up on Kai kind of sealed the deal
4827s on bridge Let's uh let's just roll it
4830s all back to the beginning of the map
4832s though looking at the compositions
4834s obviously SSG they were able to match it
4836s but they were also having the very
4839s honest EMA it was it was honest EMA bra
4841s that's exactly what we expected it's
4843s what we wanted to see however SSG they
4846s managed to sprinkle in their own flavor
4848s they showed us again that they have the
4849s flexibility to also just make some
4851s interesting variation on that
4853s composition yeah I think honestly it's
4855s the the confidence in players like Astro
4856s and Landon in the backline that enables
4858s you to play Eko into Tracer typically I
4860s would call that a tracer favorite
4861s matchup she's able to do a lot ekko's
4863s not really going to contest the other
4864s Tracer all too often but if your if your
4866s supports can hang and battle against a
4868s player like kevster it opens you up to
4870s be a lot greedier with the echo much
4872s more poke pressure put a lot more damage
4874s onto vasta but also you know the
4876s flexibility to bring out the venture to
4878s add in a ton of aggression into the
4879s backline and I think especially on the
4881s offense is where I felt the difference
4883s between SSG andn when when they speed
4885s around those Corners sparker swinging on
4886s the Cassidy I mean he's finding pick
4888s after pick blowing open these setups
4890s yeah I mean when they get high ground
4892s for sparker like he able to do so much
4894s work right and I think this this map in
4896s particular it really came down to the
4897s hit SC a lot of the time Kai took over
4899s on the offensive side as well and had
4900s some really nice moments but sparker he
4902s just racked up the final do especially
4904s here the last two points of the map
4906s point B and point C for SG sparker just
4909s had an unbelievable C performance and
4911s again it's like I said the last game
4912s break right sparker I think is like real
4915s Ace up the sleeve for SSG he has so much
4917s impact on this specific matchup and
4919s feels real comfortable right this is why
4921s we talk so much about sparker it's
4923s performances like this so I mean if he
4925s continues playing like this this might
4927s turn into a 3 0 yeah no it's uh it's
4931s going to be a tough road ahead for ends
4933s they took us here uh to Havana do you
4936s feel in hindsight that may not have been
4938s the play like why were they so confident
4941s on this particular map honestly I I
4942s don't hate it I think you had to throw
4944s some kind of spanner in the works it
4946s would have been I mean Circle Royale is
4947s the obvious pick but it would have been
4949s so obvious I mean I I would 100% can
4951s guarantee that SSG has watched every
4954s game that n has played of of cir roale
4956s they played it many times n has shown
4958s their own hand shown their own
4959s preference and and so I think they
4961s wanted to mix things up I think they
4962s wanted to force this into a ratra Mir
4964s and so Havana doesn't look like a bad
4966s choice to me strategically I think what
4968s we are seeing though is the level of
4970s comfort yes n has the individual players
4972s to execute a rush comp they're very very
4974s competent but SSG is is another level
4976s above they they have the basics down so
4979s clean that they get creative right
4981s they're not necessarily going to stack
4982s up sparker swings one way you know HTI
4985s and landed pushing through another door
4986s Astro and psycho on the flank and you're
4988s just being attacked from all sides
4990s because this is a team that you know the
4991s basics are nothing to them they don't
4992s even have to discuss it yeah one little
4994s clue we learned from this map as well is
4996s the Venture pick that came out from
4997s psycho and I think it had something
4999s perhaps to do with kevster coming out on
5000s the may as well so as we go on perhaps a
5002s hybrid kind of map here that is just one
5004s thing to keep in mind yesterday we saw
5005s kevster play on the May had a lot of
5007s impact on that hero what are SSG going
5009s to do to counter it will we see psycho
5011s more on the V later on the series two
5012s things we learned from Havana that we
5014s might see more of later on in this
5015s series all right let's let's discuss the
5017s upcoming map then ends once again get
5019s the pick of the lit here uh you want to
5022s see hybrid it sounded like Johnny where
5024s in hybrid are we are we going with this
5026s you want to see a return to I think you
5028s should ask Jake because I've actually
5029s seen a monitor over there that shows I
5032s don't know so let me maybe you you can
5034s tell me I think it's I would go Nani
5035s right now if I'm in I'd go Nani Mr Mr X
5038s is currently blocking Nani to to make
5040s sure we can't my second second pick is
5042s Midtown I think nban and Midtown make
5043s the most sense but I already called
5045s Midtown so is it was right I'm a genius
5049s what do you mean you
5050s were I said this
5053s one midtown's interesting though because
5055s an it is the go-to hybrid pick for both
5057s of these teams both these teams are
5058s incredibly comfortable on Midtown maybe
5061s this is a return to the vasta sigma but
5063s I mean we've seen SSG manle some of
5065s these holds with especially so some the
5067s Ry the ram but they're really great at
5069s break breaking these slow defensive
5071s setups there's a reason we haven't seen
5072s Thea come out on the Sig this series
5074s that's a respect right there they know
5076s they cannot play their best hero what
5078s they've shown all tournament because
5079s they know SSG has the download on that
5082s style it's just not going to work
5083s against them and so maybe Midtown maybe
5086s that's a map where the ranges can be
5088s played you know maybe keor with has some
5090s Niche counter pick that he thinks he can
5091s make it work with but honestly this is
5093s desperation for NS I think midtown's a
5096s good map but even if they win it they're
5097s facing a push and a hybrid it's going to
5100s be a long road home for ANS all right
5102s Dooms here in the middle is almost
5104s predicting a 3 0 at this point let's see
5107s if ANS can bring it back as we're headed
5109s to
5112s Midtown back to Midtown folks and an's
5116s backs are up against the wall this had
5119s better be enough to bail them out of
5121s this sticky situation like Jake put it
5124s it's a long road home to climb from here
5127s on out for this n Squad to fight back
5129s against someone that knows them awfully
5132s well after many many series played
5134s against each other space station as the
5136s desk put it have the download on ANS
5139s yeah and sometimes it's uh a little bit
5141s of the nature of like Styles make fights
5143s right where uh you know 's probably good
5146s to play Sigma and a lot of the things
5147s that they like to play just about it
5149s against every other team here but the
5153s one team that they can kind of play
5155s different types of Rush style comps that
5157s would love to play Rush style comps is
5159s the team they get matched up here today
5160s who's also in their region which is
5162s which is already worrying right
5164s yeah they I mean they already have
5166s experience against them right they have
5168s experience playing the comps that are
5169s pretty good against them as well so it's
5172s a bit of a tough
5173s draw all right mirror compositions here
5175s it will be the
5177s triccas I do think it's pretty telling
5179s though agreeing with the desk like they
5181s haven't even tried it right they haven't
5182s even tried the the sign be he probably
5185s gets
5186s counted all right a little bit of poke
5188s here to the train unlikely the V really
5190s push any further through than this they
5192s they have cracked it okay see Tak a ton
5194s of damage in order to do so this is
5195s risky business but they get The High
5197s Ground as a reward space station respect
5200s this have to back up but that post just
5201s doesn't stop coming in the is always 20%
5204s HP when he picks out Yeahs are getting
5207s quite low here as well had to use the
5209s recall there but you do give up High
5211s Ground straight away right we see a lot
5213s of teams you know maybe actually on
5214s offense go here towards his fire out but
5216s they push straight up through that
5217s subway car makes it a little bit more
5218s Awkward they don't have to use that
5220s regenerative burst there because B asro
5222s was in midair when he threw a grenade at
5224s him had to make sure he could get the
5225s quick heal on the
5226s Lucio already here for down already not
5230s great now it's four have to hope the KE
5233s stol up can get enough done here space
5235s station don't need to play For The High
5236s Ground they play back behind the fire
5239s engine yeah no one's going to be saving
5241s against from the burning window yeah
5244s they get High ground but it just takes
5245s so long for it to develop right they get
5248s The High Ground they take a ton of
5249s damage it feels like they have to stop
5251s at a few different points with try to
5253s heal everybody back up to get things
5255s going where typically we see teams kind
5257s of take the opposite row as we'll see
5259s now ins here on this second attempt go
5262s straight through the choke his player
5263s still coming back for SSG has to be
5265s careful of this he's ignoring it right
5267s now eventually it's going to be too much
5268s damage for him to brush off grenade will
5271s go away with buto gets no healing right
5273s now lon's busy
5275s Co later here they go sound barrier now
5278s L going to receive that El least from B
5280s Astro but the presses too great the
5281s pulse bomb breaks through the overshield
5283s the ghost is Tred a dead eye here from
5285s sparker getting a back piece for y Lucio
5287s probably worth it but both cities are
5289s now down Annihilation though in play for
5292s he's in a couple of moments can't be
5295s taking the risk of popping it right now
5296s he's missing too many teammates he'll
5298s have to concede the fight yes M will
5301s have to back out so already a lot of
5304s time on off the clock know it's taking a
5306s lot of time for these fights to devel
5308s yeah it's pretty similar actually to
5310s Havana so minute 30 on the clock you
5313s have probably two really good attempts
5315s here potentially you got you got a great
5317s window here
5318s for your Annihilation right you end up
5321s saving that where hotti end up popping
5322s in the previous fight kwalks up here
5325s with the dead ey get onun the Astro okay
5327s well how save Landon's life rather the
5330s ghost kept Alive by that and there is
5332s Kai and ghost both get brought down
5333s quickly Hardy though should drop here St
5335s able to push up m c the stolen last
5338s standing here
5339s friend all should be brought down here
5343s attempt able to find a kill this would
5345s be on but now it's going to be some Stag
5347s and some stall and the cap
5350s begins so you're going to get one tick
5353s everybody now back up for SSG it looks
5355s like you may be in position here to get
5356s a
5359s touchy he'll wait on it got to be now
5362s there's the touch Bove back instantly
5363s down to half HP keer finishes him off
5365s with the Mele in half clip pulse bomb
5367s for keer no need for that though his
5369s Hardy has no help on the point and
5371s finally break through takes him about
5373s three minutes yeah and I think actually
5376s they just wanted uh ideally right I
5378s ideally want everybody but uh for SSG
5381s psyo live a little bit longer cuz you
5383s saw hotti in like kind of speed boost
5384s right on pass they want to make a play
5386s for the backline but when psycho Falls
5388s you see hotti like from you know the
5389s point of view we were watching has just
5391s kind of stop cuz he's now the one now
5393s taking position on the point to hole
5395s there that kind of the ruins what they
5396s were attempting so much pressure L is
5398s under right now looks like ke to those
5400s left him for the time being on power
5402s field in play see keer off to the left
5405s there good Vortex that's going to split
5407s up space station spker tries to edge
5409s around it does no K is there can't
5411s afford to give him all of his attention
5412s though this air magx is well set up for
5414s Space Station to push
5416s into n g can see that high ground but
5419s they don't lose any players GST is still
5420s doggedly
5422s harassing I think if your G also giving
5425s up that first point can't even be that
5427s upsetting right because of the situation
5429s in which it happened so feel like the
5431s payload now moving the closer toward
5433s that under pass kep who moving it here
5435s for in you get a hold here for SSG
5438s you're in a great spot z bar to answer
5440s the dead ey Spar still wants to hold his
5442s ground that's dangerous drops in that's
5445s two k in trouble okay M Grenade on
5448s sparker he does not care immortality
5450s field is more than enough to keep the
5451s cast the fighting fish and it's get
5453s removed they spend a beat in that fight
5455s sound barrier came out from Mara and it
5457s wasn't enough oh no well welcome to the
5462s top level of play Ghost could have been
5464s worse he could be
5466s FD somewhere still jumping off the side
5469s of
5470s map so big win there for space station I
5474s think actually it's a little bit
5475s surprising right sparker uses Dead Eye
5477s just drops down to the low ground
5478s backing makes it pretty difficult so no
5480s B here for INS uh do have this
5483s annihilation potentially use
5485s Annihilation and Matrix but like where
5487s where to use this you try and use some
5489s of this to get High Ground Control and
5490s you figure that's going to be the path
5492s you maybe try and have Kev move the
5494s parts again get them they just kind of
5495s dro naturally it's a difficult spot to
5498s be I want to see an Matrix pick the can
5500s come in all right too late ghost is down
5503s Kai now awkward there's a lot going on
5505s here with two annihilations in fight
5507s might eventually picked up here God that
5509s last fight with Master beating and still
5511s getting picked off it's going to hurt
5513s them it's going to H the
5514s 40 seconds left in the round and we have
5516s get another
5517s stagger Mara sent to meet his maker a
5520s little later then us with Patriots and
5522s now you're in a really rough spot for
5524s ant you ended up using pretty much
5526s everything you had there in that
5527s previous fight the ant Matrix they try
5530s and get it up on that High Ground so
5531s maybe make a play for hotti they get it
5533s really low but the STL is not healthy
5536s enough to push around that corner right
5538s so you not going to kind of just
5539s sacrifice your ratra for a trade there
5541s in that situation and have nothing yeah
5544s nothing to work with an air Matrix was
5547s sparer to play with and he already has
5548s High Ground by default yeah the are
5551s stacked against an it's never really
5554s bothered them in the past it'sso here
5556s you can see attending to the card that
5557s one versus one against keer that's quite
5559s a Titanic
5561s battle Tri Zing up they're just they're
5563s just trying to have uh keer touch car
5565s here and then build up towards sound
5567s barrier they knew the Zam coming now
5568s they get the beat this will leave keer
5570s isolated doesn't get the it doesn't get
5573s the he's around the corner a light of
5574s sight for St unaware did he not benefit
5576s from it and some lost their centerpiece
5579s now no rater to speak of and the be has
5581s expired space station still looking hail
5584s and Hearty K can't say the same for him
5587s I got to be honest t on clean up JY and
5589s this is going to be it an that is a
5592s disappointing push through the map space
5593s station once again clamped down on him
5597s end plays that really towards the end
5599s the only way they actually could right
5601s uh play a little bit slower let Kev you
5603s know keep that c did get us into OT and
5605s then build towards that sound barrier
5607s right they get it uh you know Masa
5610s connects with everybody it just did not
5611s hit besta which is uh huge I mean
5613s obviously the ratra you know essential
5616s to keep alive in these types of
5617s situations so you end up losing your
5619s tank uh and everything starts to fall
5622s apart in the past ANS have been out to
5625s keep it close against space station
5628s competitive back and forth have been dog
5630s fights but they come here to Dallas
5633s missing one of their tanks
5635s and an since we talked about it they're
5637s quiet they're all quiet they're not
5640s outspoken not super outgo guys so again
5644s when they get into situations like this
5646s someone has to stand up for them oh
5649s stand up I guess here for them and get
5650s them excited get them energized you know
5653s crimo has said that's been Pista and
5655s ghost in the past but I don't know if
5657s either of those naturally have that
5658s tendency someone from men really needs
5661s to give this team a lift and now they're
5663s going to try this Sigma Beast
5664s composition so on defense uh a lot like
5666s what the desk was mentioned you can kind
5668s of create some space here uh there's
5670s just a lot of space to cover for space
5672s station games uh you have a good idea
5674s though without Backbone in the game
5676s potentially not like some kind of sim
5678s Shenanigans right so have the
5680s opportunity to play this Sigma with a
5683s May in the mix so maybe even kind of
5685s like splitting some players off baing
5687s the rush a little bit oh there going to
5690s be a change here they know the May over
5691s to the Venture perhaps they know they're
5694s dealing with a sigma comp ah yes it is
5698s time
5700s folks this is why ANS have avoided
5702s playing Sigma over this
5705s series the dreaded chy Reinhardt has
5708s come out to play yeah it'll be curious
5710s how they try and get this Reinhardt into
5712s advantageous positions though because
5715s there is a lot of space to cover here
5717s right is still awkward to deal with the
5719s May is awkward to deal with right but
5720s then also just getting the Reinhardt in
5722s positions where uh he can be very
5724s dangerous to the sigma as that's going
5726s to be a may they break it and they get
5728s inside of the
5729s fire May doesn't quite pay off for it to
5732s see what the idea was but no one got
5734s isolated the morality could cleared up
5736s honey Swing Swing
5738s Swing caught by the wall imal to K in
5741s play Hardy Shield is not going to be
5743s enough just dropped the shot there from
5744s Kai making it very hard to escape start
5748s here for this
5749s poke works
5751s out yeah we'll get a stagger here on to
5757s land stats there doing some damage land
5760s regretting the evolution in map design
5762s here yeah right but surely there's a
5764s manhole that could be opened on this map
5766s to allow for a quick exit oh that's a
5769s that be interesting see what that New
5771s York Ser system looks
5773s like a shut at the
5775s thought but you see there know hard the
5778s May walls in the mix right it's not as
5780s easy without the Sim to get in this
5781s position so we'll see them rotate around
5784s again nice it's going to be an ant
5785s Matrix here as well for very good Wall
5788s go yes not able to keep that R up okay
5793s that's work two consecutive fights
5795s now M's feeling good about
5798s this okay POS okay G Going Down wait a
5801s minute both supports are missing oh wait
5803s a minute it's lost their foundations
5805s space station again Running on Fumes
5807s Landon going to give himself up here
5809s this can be
5810s exploitable what's Hardy doing
5814s gets back into the mix maybe you thought
5815s uh going to join the fight there late
5817s trying to he's trying to find a
5818s gluten-free scoop Bagel in New York good
5820s luck so this is a this is a a good
5823s attempt here maybe for space station
5825s right with like sound barrier in the mix
5826s sound barrier shatter Dead Eye but an
5829s has had to use nothing I mean the may
5831s wals have really been you know what has
5833s won a lot of these fights early on so
5836s they have just about everything to work
5837s with here on quick enough to get out of
5839s that oh dear The Bard waiting for SP
5842s he's gone C Genesis with you so no C
5846s still set the beat here this is very
5848s awkward for space station only getting
5850s Master for their troubles worrying Signs
5853s Now for your EMA number
5854s one oh yeah they get nothing done here
5857s this has been dominant here from
5860s says you have not been able to get this
5863s Reinhardt into position to really make
5865s an impact here since they win that right
5868s they end up holding on to their sound
5870s barrier they'll have a amp Matrix for
5872s this next fight
5875s overclock as well
5877s as maybe even trying to take I was going
5879s to say you try to take High Ground here
5880s and like push them all the way
5886s back the speed boost just isn't enough
5888s right like the Sim adds such a an
5891s element to this that it's very difficult
5894s for to come stop not bad catch the St
5897s over the sound tality Fields get layered
5899s by it may wall as well not any followup
5902s not my good awareness to clear that
5904s drone Hardy eventually gets brought down
5906s this is going to be a shut out on
5909s Midtown an have really put it together
5911s with this Sigma composition makes you
5913s wonder why we've not seen it in this
5915s series so far but they pull it out when
5917s it really matters EDS stay alive in the
5919s series they stay alive in the tournament
5922s and they're on the
5923s board can be extremely difficult to make
5926s work that Sigma comp especially with a
5928s team that is so good at rush on the
5931s other side but that time with all that
5934s open space here on Midtown not able to
5936s get that Reinhardt in position is SSG
5939s and then makes it look
5940s easy makes you wonder if there's a cetra
5944s there for SSG if it's a little bit
5947s easier to maneuver the Reinhardt in a
5949s position to actually get you value cuz
5951s for the most part Hardy looked like he
5953s was out at Sea struggling to get his
5955s team where they needed to be let's head
5957s over the desk much to dig into now as
5959s ANS keep themselves going in this series
5962s thank you so much yeah the bread and
5964s butter of SSG did not find any success
5967s here ands pulling out that Sigma comp
5970s looking so competent on it as well and
5973s shutting them down like full hold on
5976s midt I we talked about flexibility on
5978s DPS I think to be honest SSG were really
5980s missing the presence of backbone here I
5982s think they needed either a May or
5984s symmetra perhaps both to really catch
5986s that Sigma the Ry that's what it does
5988s right it catches the sigma runs him down
5990s but there's no one to put a back stop
5991s there you've got the the Tracer CID I
5993s think that's a iic mistake I think there
5995s what's the Tracer going to do you're
5996s battling up against a May up against a
5998s BAP Lucio and the Ry is wants to Target
6000s Sigma so there's really a split decision
6002s I think from SSG they know okay the Ryan
6004s can beat the sigma but I think Keers May
6007s really denied that I think they needed a
6008s different DPS lineup to win that on
6010s Attack on Mid yeah up until that first
6011s point hold it really felt like SSG had
6013s this one in the bag obviously Superior
6014s in their M composition and you can just
6016s see like whenever we see the ratra
6018s mirror SSG has the upper hand so you see
6020s this Sigma composition come out from
6021s ends maybe that could be the composition
6025s that brings them back in this series but
6027s now we face this big problem Jacob like
6029s okay well what Maps do you go to what
6030s what map really allows you to see these
6031s Sigma compositions right and now it's
6033s ssg's math pick as well so a lot to
6035s think about kevster though Stand Up
6037s Performance on the May here especially
6039s shutting down Hardis Reinhardt and you
6041s know I feel like maybe you could have
6042s worked around this uh this may pick like
6044s you said Jake but I mean the Tracer game
6046s play as well kevster so good on this
6048s Tracer and has tremendous impact in this
6050s series but you know we don't typically
6051s talk a lot about the May because he's so
6053s good on the the high mechanical skill
6054s Heroes but you know going into this
6056s series Jake we talked about the make
6058s could come out and it could have a big
6059s difference in the series yeah when we
6060s talk about Ker's mechanics but I think
6062s May displays he's he's a really
6063s intelligent player it's Way Beyond
6065s mechanics when it comes to Kure skill
6067s absolutely well this means uh it's the
6070s first time we see SSG uh being in charge
6072s of the map coming up obviously uh we are
6076s now reduced in terms of map types of
6078s maps that we can actually head towards
6079s to where do you want to take it if you
6081s are SSG I think if I'm SSG I do want to
6085s pick a push map here uh because that
6087s just gives you the more most expression
6088s right most value when it comes to these
6090s picks right I do think that you want to
6091s avoid colosio we saw of course en
6094s yesterday had a really good series
6095s against trto defi they shut them down on
6097s colosio so you want to avoid that so
6099s that leaves ESP brona and new Queen
6100s Street I think it's it's a bit of a flip
6103s here you know asona has been the go-to
6105s pick all year Jake but you could perhaps
6107s push it to New Queen Street I mean if
6109s it's me it's esper for sure I think it's
6111s the closest range of all the push Maps
6113s the tightest corner ERS especially that
6114s midsection of the map that's most
6116s crucial they are going to go to Queen
6117s Street this could be I I really want to
6119s see Backbone in hopefully they do I
6121s think the Sim and the May might be
6123s critical to defeating Sigma here or at
6125s least one of the two some kind of catch
6127s uh but we got confirmation it's not
6128s going to be sub so more confidence in
6130s Psycho leaving him in wanting to end the
6132s series here but to be honest I think
6133s there's an opportunity now for ANS I
6135s think the sigma could work on this map
6137s I'm not sure how it's going to play out
6139s because to be honest keer flexibility
6140s bringing out the May honestly I I I
6143s wonder if SSG right now I think you're
6145s right head-to-head in the ram mirror I
6147s think it's SSG all day we've seen that
6148s throughout the whole series but if n can
6151s force their will on the match if they
6152s can rely on a player like kevster to
6154s navigate through all these comp swaps I
6156s mean there's few players in that
6157s position I'd put more faith in yeah with
6159s ends with their backs against the wall
6160s here the matchup I'm looking for once
6162s again is psycho against kevster if
6165s you're an ends fan here I really do
6166s think you need kevster to come in clutch
6168s in this one we've been hyping out
6169s kevster going into this tournament as
6171s one of the best damaged players in the
6173s world well now you're down 2-1 you need
6175s to bring this one back you need to
6176s reverse sweep SSG this is Ker's time to
6178s shine this is where he needs to come in
6180s touch for the team absolutely let's uh
6183s let's talk a little bit more about
6184s psycho though a player with quite a
6186s journey as well finding a lot of success
6188s here in owcs but he's come a long way
6191s Jake you know I think he's always been
6193s kind of second fiddle to players like
6194s kepster I think we you know wouldn't
6196s really put him in the same conversation
6198s but he's kind of forcing his way there I
6199s mean this Series has really shown he can
6202s go toe totoe in many ways he's been
6203s leading on the flexibility front I think
6205s that was sort of a rare anomaly on
6207s Midtown that kevster may completely shut
6209s down everything SSG was trying to do but
6211s for the most part the rest of the series
6213s it's been psycho's uh uh Echo it's been
6216s the Venture that have actually given SSG
6217s the Strategic Edge and so I think if
6219s they've got something cooked up for new
6221s Queen Street which to be honest I'm sure
6222s they do if they're going to pick this
6223s map U maybe have some confidence the
6225s echko could be strong on this map but
6227s honestly I think this might be a tracer
6229s mirror maybe just putting a lot of faith
6230s in psycho's ability to earn his place
6233s right along side kepster as one of the
6234s best hyperflex players in Europe so we
6237s keeping our eyes here on the front lines
6239s looking at the back lines though is
6240s there anything you want to see changing
6242s up any player which stood out for either
6245s of you there I mean I feel like Landon
6247s has gotten a ton of value so far on the
6249s batist the amplification Matrix us
6251s especially for space station has been
6252s crucial taking that high ground with the
6254s ratra setting up sparker for Success has
6256s been really good so far now new Queen
6258s Street I mean it's such a wide open
6260s flanks right so maybe you look towards
6261s the lucios here to actually have a bit
6263s impact when it comes to these duels
6265s right Jake yeah I want to see the Lucio
6266s showing up into the Tracer 1 V one you
6268s know the tracers think they're having a
6269s nice little honorable skill and then
6271s Lucio just rolls off blows you away at
6274s this level just getting your CDs Force
6276s by a surprising uh appearance of the
6278s Lucio can quickly turn into a a death
6281s that you can't beat right the other
6282s Tracer has a huge cool down advantage on
6284s you at this level there's no amount of
6285s skill that's going to actually get you
6287s out of the scenario cuz the other Tracer
6288s they're just too good so lot of pressure
6291s on I think funny Astro and Masa to make
6292s the right decision because if you leave
6293s too early you leave your batist alone he
6296s could get caught he could get killed he
6297s could get punished so tons of pressure
6298s on I think the Lucio players making the
6300s right decision where to be it's it's a
6302s really open-ended hero you could sit
6303s with the team the whole time you can
6304s flank the whole time and the reality is
6306s you got to find your way through without
6308s any obvious there's no clear obvious
6310s position to be you've got to be
6311s constantly mixing it up catching your
6313s opponents off guard and to be fair when
6315s it comes to that I I favor Astro I think
6317s he's got the individual mechanics that
6319s are pretty much unmatched on Lucio yeah
6320s I mean this is why we hype up funny as
6322s right for moments like these we talk
6324s about funny Astro some of the best Lucio
6326s mechanics in the entire world right and
6328s now you go to new Queen Street perhaps
6330s Lucio will have a lot of impact in this
6331s Tracer duel this is where funny Astro
6333s needs to come in clutch for SSG and
6335s actually maybe build a bit of an
6336s advantage here I mean both Masa and fun
6339s asra of course no slouches in particular
6342s they're veterans uh there are some of
6344s the deadliest lucias as well that we are
6347s just known in competitive Esports so
6349s we're in for a trat in every single Head
6351s to Head guess we haven't discussed the
6354s tanks as much so let's just dive in
6356s there as well do you feel like any of
6358s them has been favored in this I I feel
6360s like how is way more comfortable in the
6361s ratra mirror and that is part of why SG
6364s are up to one in this series hardi maybe
6366s the rinard is a nogo I'm sorry to
6368s everyone in the crowd everyone at home
6370s rart May there player who's willing to
6373s die on the hill it would Bey exactly
6375s right I mean I think if they've got the
6377s May or the Sim I think the ride
6378s absolutely does work against Sigma I
6380s think that was just a strategic mistake
6381s um on Midtown not having having a DPS
6384s that actually assists in catching for
6385s Reinhardt I think that Sigma could die
6387s really easily if it comes out when it
6388s comes to the ratra like skill
6390s head-to-head honestly I think that's
6392s like very very even I think it's way
6394s less about the individual player on
6396s ratra like how their Mastery of the hero
6398s is where Sigma and Ry I think the
6399s individual skill really matters a lot
6401s for ratra I think it's the team play
6403s that makes the difference it's the
6403s communication it's working around your
6405s ratra when both ratas are holding down
6407s the troes blocking it's just a stat
6409s check on the other team checking whose
6411s backline is quicker more efficient more
6413s aggressive at coming in and taking the
6415s space while both ratas do their best to
6417s sort of hold the door against the
6418s opposing
6419s backr well we're heading now to a new
6422s Queen Street with this one of course
6424s this is Match Point still for SSG but
6426s ends they made sure that we got a series
6429s on our hand here in the lower bracket so
6431s let's get ready for all the
6434s action you're watching owcs at dream
6437s hack
6440s Dallas good job we'll make on camera you
6443s get mate you let me know when you're
6445s done out here we'll make it uh we'll
6447s make it Happ he said that with more
6448s passionate Than Jake Jake was like he
6450s would have been like hell Heroes
6453s ex heyo I tell you what I mean yeah
6456s sounded like homelander a little bit
6458s during
6460s that there's so many layers to that joke
6462s dude we are back of course and we have
6465s seen an find themselves some footing in
6468s this series SSG though now with the
6471s privilege of selecting the map and it
6473s was new Queen Street that they picked up
6476s you know it's funny in the match up
6477s against M80 uh you know Hardy is playing
6480s Sigma and lion literally types in chat
6482s yo Sigma a it bro hard's like okay
6484s switches to Reinhardt wins the series
6487s then says thanks for the advice so
6489s that's maybe why we're seeing a little
6490s bit of that Reinhardt played into the
6492s sigma but on a map like this maybe more
6495s likely the ratra makes an appearance at
6496s least initially from hardi yeah we
6499s haven't uh know throughout the series
6501s newcast right a lot of teams know once
6503s we see escort hybrid out of the way G
6505s actually over the flash point which has
6506s been a bit surprising but know negro is
6508s mentioning that new Queen Street's been
6510s picked twice here uh know throughout
6512s this tournament and it's both been by
6514s space station so they have to feel
6515s pretty confident the only team why go
6519s here let's see what they've got for us
6522s space station y running out with the
6523s sojourn they're going to be deal with
6525s the ks to May once more though pretty
6527s good at manufacturing those picks on a
6529s dive so we saw this against the Reinhard
6531s right you know in the in the previous
6533s map on Midtown we saw them play this
6535s kind of like May uh May with the soj in
6538s the sigma in play Space Station when
6541s playing the Reinhard D that right
6542s against it uh this time playing the
6544s ratra so we like the ratra into the
6546s sigma here it's a little speedier right
6548s you close the gap a little bit more but
6551s and also Vero provides some long range
6554s uh damage as well right but still might
6557s not be the the best match up as hotti
6560s uses nemes for to get in the mix
6563s Sparky here having to play from a
6564s respectful distance found a a nice
6567s little rail hit on Kai earlier on ker
6569s also completely outrange out Gunn by
6571s psycho who descends upon with the p
6574s pistols eventually gets his head bashed
6576s in by Hardy get that speedy this of
6579s ratra in Nemesis for do don't want to
6581s underestimate it me ratra can know do
6585s some damage on the way in right the
6586s right like if you're not in the mix
6588s behind the shield with that far deep
6590s you're not really providing much right
6593s so ratra a bit better here as kevster
6596s will now match this Tracer so using the
6599s May there at the start maybe can kind
6600s split players off what not it doesn't
6602s really pay off he'll actually masch this
6604s psycho
6606s Tracer all right there the SE Tracer
6609s psycho kind of who he's going to be
6611s trying to keep tabs on a lot of the time
6613s here can't really fully commit to
6616s picking off psycho in a one versus one
6617s but keep him busy keep away from his
6619s backline trying to tangle up that enemy
6622s traiter s me is already for space
6624s station though after that successful
6625s first fight andal already has to give
6627s some ground space station backs around
6629s the corner there for a brief second as
6631s sparker body gets one through the ant
6633s Matrix they backed up to actually trying
6635s to build the beat there as well they
6636s were so close that they already had the
6638s ant Matrix now you got to wonder if your
6639s space even need to use this be maybe now
6643s who's in the though who's in there uh
6646s unclear doesn't look like maybe anyone
6647s was inside that gravitic flux here's the
6649s annihilation Master desperately trying
6651s to get away sparker almost caught him
6652s with a rail
6653s Hardy doesn't need to over push here
6656s they got the checkpoint already that's
6658s unreal and they're far from done Hardy
6660s now get popped up and he ready to go
6662s aggressive once more with sparker behind
6664s him looking for ra head shot yeah the
6666s over clet then you know getting the
6668s grass bow you know just maybe spis a
6670s little bit of time to get hotti all
6672s healed up as here's the overlock from
6674s Kai is going to be yeah it's going to be
6677s the immortality field out of the way but
6678s somehow hard lives I don't know how he
6680s managed that quite immortality field
6681s like you said K had to clean up finally
6684s keps to find something but it's
6685s instantly traded again ghost is to First
6687s casually in another fight for R they are
6689s exploiting the
6694s Baptist he's still here for space
6696s station right it's not it's not a
6698s completely done fight the cart just
6700s being moved here by Thea
6703s but not much help see players coming
6705s back from the spa trying to get over
6707s there space station will be back at
6709s about the same time they just have to
6710s wait for sparker who likely will get
6712s taxied into the spray by funny
6714s asteroid see on the wireframe there
6717s space station aren't going to run that
6718s stairway try and take an early fight
6720s they'll play on the corner I do wonder
6722s if they think that they have an
6723s opportunity to kind catch them off guard
6724s a little bit with this amp you already
6726s have another one here for land in maybe
6729s drop down from The High Ground use it
6730s just go fast around this first
6735s corner b being respectful here all the
6737s space station are waiting for the B to
6738s push to them but this might give them a
6740s reason to go
6741s forward k
6743s G can't do too much except have some
6746s presence inside too but yeah here comes
6748s space station now without soj and they
6749s have no worries sparker has a beautiful
6751s sideline here nice and
6753s long fny asro competing prominance over
6756s the C well in as well right you're like
6759s setting up for High Ground there
6760s potentially and not really focus on you
6763s know moving the Box there's not really a
6765s reason like space station doesn't need
6766s to take the fight if they don't want to
6767s right they have such a lead it's really
6769s kind of dictated now on their terms yeah
6771s and the more of these hit cool Downs
6773s ultimates they draw out of the better
6776s okay flux on Hardy where's landed in
6778s position for more ping field it's not
6779s necessary s got used there by funny
6781s Astro it's a later one from Master
6783s conect leverage this now into a winning
6785s fight pulse there no stick L able to
6787s back up Kon now looking at two players
6789s this land eventually is doubl down on by
6791s Kai but crucially it's the sigma that
6793s has fallen for hoping for more up on
6796s that High ghost is low again has using
6799s immortality field but he holds it for
6800s quite a long time he still can't get
6802s away what a dog fight it is a no hole F
6806s brawl space station still with their
6808s tank in play they're not going to give
6809s the bot
6813s up that disrupt the shot yeah KRA had no
6817s choice he thought he could maybe sneak
6818s and kill there but is it ready for that
6819s cool down at a SoJO yeah he throw it on
6821s that staircase right there kind of wards
6823s off any flankers coming your way how
6826s lives through all that by the way I mean
6828s just tremendous stuff the annihilation
6830s it puts down so much damage and it never
6832s actually able to get the raater out of
6834s the my yeah he got solo flx at the start
6835s of the fight as well ENT spending so
6837s heavily to try and neutralize hardi
6839s they've Switched Off the sigma over to
6842s the raat of their own which is a Conant
6844s I mean space station probably want to
6846s see they look favored in the mirror at
6848s all times the
6849s series nicely done by Kai though thatal
6852s here looking a little silly coming out a
6854s little late yeah I mean I also feel like
6855s matching is almost essential like if you
6858s would have gotten uh a really nice early
6861s lead for an and kind of play in space in
6865s distance and be a little bit more uh you
6868s know of the reactive team not the team
6870s that's going to kind of set the pace and
6871s you know be a little bit further back
6873s hope sure but now that you're kind of
6875s forced to know match the meterage here
6878s you have to come up first you have to
6880s fight right and sigma is not a c for
6882s you're going to want to move up this is
6885s great K doesn't even need
6887s Matrix beautiful ra gun usage there
6890s space station pop a matrix on their own
6891s again landed not finding great timing
6893s for those B cool
6898s Downs knows that sparkers inside here I
6901s think just wants to finish off the so
6903s but you might take the lead off of this
6905s here if your end which is huge right uh
6908s no what ever since they switch to the
6910s ratra they they've gotten the B moving
6912s pretty fast into space station territory
6915s yeah maybe we start the conversation
6916s about potental reverse sweep they in the
6918s lead and and beats going to be available
6920s here beat and Annihilation here for it
6922s so this push is probably going to say
6925s probably not over but spark for the rail
6927s gun shot a mass is huge no master here
6929s and say okay what else can we get we
6932s just a nuisance we just stick around can
6933s we draw out like another DPS ultimate
6935s they're going to go for an Annihilation
6936s they're going to go for it without
6937s master in play as well imortality field
6939s there allows Lon to head up to the high
6941s ground and away from B is
6944s Annihilation look for Kev found in here
6947s might want to try and find a way to use
6948s the pulse in this fight though space
6949s station W have any chance of getting the
6951s B back under their control sound barrier
6953s s's going to have to wait just a little
6954s bit longer for that spawned ghost pulse
6957s G get away from it but only just sparker
6959s looks to come in the second wave to
6960s follow up the psyo was taken down by Kai
6962s Hardy wins the tank battle though Kai
6964s slippery ad strafing making it
6966s impossible for sparker to connect with
6967s him but Lena found ker earlier and spend
6970s a fair bit to stay around to keep the
6972s pressure up eventually they crumble yeah
6975s and losing Mara really early in that
6977s previous fight uh was quite brutal is uh
6980s this is also terrible here for oh just
6983s trying to find you want ah throw it down
6987s uh but you when you lost Masa there
6990s there was a window where there was no
6992s beat on the other side you had beat you
6993s could have also had your you had your
6994s Annihilation they didn't have it either
6996s you could have gone aggressive around
6998s that corner but you lose Masa then it
7000s kind of puts space station in end on
7002s even footing in terms of what they have
7003s to use in the next fight it's kind of
7005s huge it made the annihilation from AA
7006s look pretty interesting I think like
7008s really committing into that fight good
7010s off angle here but it's SED out finds
7013s the kill credit but sparker had the rail
7015s gun hit through the ant Matrix and now
7018s space station pois to reclaim the lead
7021s beautiful shooting from Landon is a
7023s one-sided fight to say the very least
7025s here comes space station now they have
7028s the
7028s advantage they will take the lead push
7030s it further into in territory is it's
7034s absolutely desperate here for a stop
7038s about a minute on the clock here you
7040s cannot allow much more progress that's a
7042s huge pull
7043s yeah love that pulse that really worked
7044s out Spar gets picked up ker wants to try
7046s and slow the bot down he has to commit
7048s to a bit of an engagement with psycho
7050s the L doesn't really want to K him his
7054s attention space station going to take
7056s this but they can't really back away
7057s safely so they may have to commit even
7059s further no give all charge over another
7062s Annihilation there forer in an already
7064s winning fight for it does secure it sure
7067s but that is such a big ability to have
7069s thrown in I think they were just worried
7071s about it getting drawn out too long like
7073s you know maybe you don't want to use
7074s that overclock right overclocks pretty
7076s good even against the sound barrier to
7077s kind of like burn some of that off as
7080s get Kai into a position where he can
7082s start to build up towards that rail
7084s gun soj really it's going to be a lot of
7087s pressure on Kai I think coming up here
7089s going a double support Al TI for both
7090s teams as well space station want to play
7092s defensively for what will be the last
7094s fight you can hardly blame them they've
7095s got four ultimates to work with but
7097s Master coming up on his sound barrier
7099s that's a big Edge for an if they can
7100s exploit it it's going to come down a
7102s timing going to come down to execution
7104s this is 's last chance for survival here
7107s head got Dallas major will have overtime
7110s now before the fight begins and Spark is
7112s going to have an overclock ready s it's
7113s a big one imortal field already drawn
7115s out of ghosts that's punishing they have
7118s an air SL from The High Ground but it's
7119s not going to get them ahead it's going
7121s to K them in the fight it'll for space
7123s station back hardi went low and now L
7125s gets the pop his own window ker Falls
7127s psycho cleans him up and K needs to make
7129s his off bangle work but the S makes it
7130s too hard to cut through space
7133s K's offense is blunted but he brings
7135s sparker down that's the soj picked off
7137s is there more hard gets rid of ghost on
7139s the bti has been removed from the field
7141s for they're running on fumes they're
7143s running on Hope dreams and they're
7145s crushed space station do it
7148s again up in the orbit on a collision
7153s course with one of our apack teams
7156s they're far from done here in Dallas
7163s that SSG proved to be too strong for in
7166s here today
7168s as ratra comp in know really just kind
7171s of the rush all day long you tell ants
7174s really didn't want to play that style
7175s they kept the close for a very long time
7178s but SSG Hottie with that Annihilation
7181s there at the end get right that doorway
7183s seal steal Sol not able to get back
7186s towards that bot but really strong
7189s overall performance from SSG I have the
7191s flexibility they have the Mastery in the
7194s rush mirror they have the
7197s chatty everything you could ask for for
7199s this team and let's not forget they just
7202s downed the team who were able to
7205s Vanquish North America's number one seat
7207s now you get an idea just the kind of Gap
7209s we're seeing regionally and now fans of
7212s OverWatch teams from the West pinning
7214s their hopes on Space Station to go all
7217s the way but it only gets tougher from
7219s here and I mean it yeah I mean look
7221s they're going to have to play against
7222s either no crazy raccoons or Falcons
7225s right two incredibly strong teams I will
7228s say SSG plays a little bit of a
7230s different play style you know they have
7232s some know different things with symmetra
7234s and Reinhardt that they kind of cook up
7235s at times so potentially you know could
7237s give the either of those teams some
7239s trouble right especially whoever comes
7241s off of that loss yeah the one thing that
7243s both of those teams have what they can
7245s boast of course this Falcons team crazy
7247s Ron Team Deep bench a lot of flexibility
7250s ability to s switch to dive and find a
7252s lot of su there really frightening DPS
7254s players but I think the story is right
7256s now about how space station seem to be
7258s thoroughly unbothered going back into a
7260s matchup which historically has been
7261s really close between these teams we see
7263s SSG go up a gear go up a level and I
7266s think you know take a win by a larger
7267s margin against their Regional Rivals
7270s than we have seen this year yeah and I
7272s and I think for INS right a completely
7275s different you know uh I mean if Russia
7277s is not viable or whatnot right like
7279s you're in a completely different world
7282s team right right yeah CH so so I think
7285s if you're in pretty good with your
7286s overall performance you have to be
7288s pretty happy with your overall
7289s performance uh you just kind of you know
7291s I think it it almost stings a little bit
7292s more you know losing to uh you know the
7294s other team in your region absolutely and
7296s you know we talked about it quite a lot
7297s throughout the series we didn't see a
7298s lot of the sigma play from bisto
7300s mentioned on the desk was maybe your
7301s respect maybe concern about having to
7303s run into the rine comp so when you're
7305s locked out of your signature composition
7308s your ideal setup that really makes it
7310s hard you had to make it work with a rat
7312s much to the series good effort good
7313s showing from an But ultimately it's
7315s space station that take the win and
7317s advance in this low bracket let's listen
7319s in on those winning moments for
7324s SSG I can wi bottom
7328s right I'll Z the Tree I'll Z thee form
7332s form on point form on point
7334s form buff slow slow right right C beat C
7337s beat break Shield run run run run run
7352s [Applause]
7353s nice Dre MC Dallas give it up for chatty
7356s and space station gaming amazing
7359s performance I know I know we had the
7361s interview but I mean I heard the crowd
7363s going crazy for you chatty chatty so I
7365s had to ask you to do the interview again
7367s so thank you so much for being here uh
7369s doing the interview uh how do you feel
7370s right now did you I mean I'm sure you
7372s expected the win I know yesterday you
7374s told me that you know that Ryan comp was
7376s going to come in clutch did it come in
7378s come in clutch I mean unfortunately I
7381s don't think it came in clutch this time
7383s but it's just our European Brothers they
7386s they're a bit more used to it but I'm
7388s sure we can catch a lot of the Koreans
7389s ofof guard coming in the tournament I
7391s mean even so you guys were fantastic um
7393s I do want to ask because you guys you I
7395s mean space station gaming and ends you
7397s guys have been going back and forth even
7399s before Dallas too you guys have been you
7400s know fighting for it for a very long
7402s time what was different uh this time
7405s around uh I think to be honest this time
7407s we were the most calm we've been so far
7410s and we just execute our team play it can
7413s let our mechanic shine and we're just
7415s better on like every role so we just
7417s executed was good yeah and now space
7421s station gaming you guys are one step
7423s closer to the Grand finals you guys have
7425s one more match and then after that if
7426s you win that you guys are heading to
7428s Grand finals who would you HTI who would
7430s you rather face would would you rather
7431s face Falcons or crazy raccoons and white
7435s uh I think Falcons I think they a lot of
7437s the players like have a trauma getting
7439s knocked out by us in an in an upset
7442s situation by a Reinhard comp so I think
7445s this trauma might come back for them so
7447s we're going to beat Falcons and then
7449s we're going to beat crazy gons after
7451s that sounds so exciting everybody give
7452s it up for Hardy one more time that's it
7454s for the postmatch interview Zoe back to
7456s you thank you so much Danny I heard it
7459s everybody he's he's banging on the TR
7462s he's not wrong though she and fielder I
7465s think he's wrong but that's just me you
7467s think
7468s that's you don't think they remember
7470s that at all no I I just don't think they
7472s want the Falcons match up I think they
7473s have a better chance against against
7474s crazy raccoon actually I think that's a
7476s much more winable match up I think
7478s Falcons has the download on the European
7480s teams I don't think those Styles will
7481s work against Falcons I think that the
7483s cutting the hit scan you're going to
7485s have a bad time playing against Falcons
7487s intangibles Jake the intangibles the
7489s trauma yeah I don't I'm not I don't feel
7491s very much are emanating from a team like
7493s Falcons or crazy raccoon for that matter
7495s but I think strategically I think they
7497s have a better chance against the
7498s raccoons do you think that the Korean
7500s teams particularly prepared for reinh
7502s harom though oh believe me I mean
7504s Falcons played both European teams in
7506s their brackets so they came into this
7507s tournament ready for these matchups
7509s planning to counter exactly what they
7511s bring and to be honest I think Sigma is
7512s your best hope against MAA and it didn't
7515s work it didn't work for an who I think
7516s is like the sigma that's their that's
7518s their bread and butter that is their
7519s wheelhouse and it didn't work and for me
7522s when I saw that at the beginning of the
7524s tournament I said it's over you you play
7525s malar you lose and you know yes we've
7527s had a fun time with the the D takes
7530s right here Jake let's
7533s it pick this one back up won Jake SSG
7537s just did it they are now waiting for
7540s their next opponent and a lot of it was
7542s of course great team play but also the
7544s individual performance and one stood out
7547s Above the Rest he pulled ahead for our
7550s por performance of of the match and that
7553s player is psycho yeah I mean the
7555s flexibility from psycho coming in so
7557s touch in this series play the Tracer
7559s play the Echo and really this is the
7561s kind of the the Swiss army knife of this
7563s team now where okay well he yes HTS but
7568s psycho I mean it's been so clutched for
7570s this team because it really was
7571s backbones in sparker team right you're
7573s you're known for playing these May these
7574s symmetric kind of compositions but
7575s psycho this year came into SSG and the
7578s Tracer play has really unlocked a
7580s different view for this team has
7582s unlocked a different play style for this
7584s team I can't you know speak enough about
7586s how good he's SP so far this tournament
7588s and what he does for SSG and another
7590s Crush performance from him earning
7591s himself the Porche performance of the
7593s match can't take anything away from
7595s psycho I I love that word unlocked I
7597s feel like that's how I see this team now
7599s their potential even when they do play
7600s Rush you always have to be scared what
7603s can psycho bring out next because he's
7604s got it all in the bag for me this is
7607s makes this team so much more difficult
7609s to Strate strategize against because
7611s they won't be just just locking in Sim
7613s May right they will have different looks
7614s to throw at you different Maps different
7616s strategies you know potentially in the
7618s bag and and that makes the preparation
7619s so much more difficult so when they do
7621s bring out the rush you weren't ready for
7623s it right you you had to think about 10
7624s different things and that's honestly the
7626s impact that psycho's having here in the
7627s match really really annoying player to
7629s play against and to be honest he just
7630s took down one of the best hyperflex
7632s players of all time looked better in the
7633s head-to-head that's an impressive
7635s accomplishment he did let's actually
7636s roll some of the highlights from this
7638s match to see how SSG got it done ends
7641s did bring it back they made it
7643s competitive here and there but in the
7645s end SSG just looked like they're they're
7648s just one step ahead of him I mean
7649s honestly one step ahead it feel like
7651s this should have been a three 0 had the
7652s rinard not come out on Midtown right
7654s because space station was so dominant on
7656s the ratra composition and really I mean
7658s this is just their experience paying
7660s dividends they were Cal and composed
7662s just like how sat on stage you know
7663s they're they're the calest they've ever
7664s been so far they' played in so many
7666s tournaments right but it's their
7668s experience playing this braw composition
7669s and it really did feel like they were in
7671s control pretty much all of this series
7673s had with a great performance on ratra
7675s but really it comes down to sparker his
7677s C was so clutch especially here on
7680s Havana and also Landon did a a
7682s spectacular job on the ba so this is
7684s their comfort this is what they do best
7685s and it felt like NC Sports was almost
7687s forced into it playing this RAR
7689s composition it's what they played in all
7691s the series past and once again space
7693s station gaming they come up and now I
7695s mean they have a three-o streak going
7696s here um against uh against end of course
7699s I mean they just feel like they are a
7700s superior team in this matchup
7702s I think when we when we go to the cons
7703s checks with SSG that that does just make
7706s me really happy their communication is
7707s so clean so effective so efficient no
7710s one's overcomming people aren't
7711s overhyped until it's already clear that
7713s they've won I mean this is exactly what
7715s you want to see I think you really feel
7717s the influence that Christopher has on
7719s this team his coaching has made a huge
7721s impact because everything about this
7723s team is just clean they're efficient
7724s they execute so well it's it's
7726s individual performances but in these
7728s comps in the end it's not about the
7730s individuals it's about the team it's
7732s about the collective unit and that's
7734s what space station gaming emphasizes to
7735s me is they've just mastered the team
7737s play of OverWatch but still I feel like
7739s sparker like the first picks he got and
7741s even on new Queen Street you're playing
7742s the souljour instead of the Cassidy
7744s sparker was so clutched the first picks
7745s he got for his team opened up so many of
7747s these fights yeah and to to be able to
7749s have those highlight performances on an
7751s individual B basis but then also of
7753s course having that Synergy that team
7756s play which I mean we know that from
7757s those players they've been playing for
7760s many years at this point together they
7762s really just picked up a few new pieces
7764s heading into the owcs and I think that's
7766s really been showing uh from the very
7768s GetGo yes stage one may not have gone
7771s quiet as we hoped or wanted to see from
7774s them but they really picked it up in
7775s stage two and now they are making such a
7777s good run through that lower bracket
7779s let's actually take a look at how we got
7782s there as SSG just took down and they
7786s keeping the EMA dream alive but they
7788s will have a tough road ahead of them as
7791s an next
7792s will be one of the Korean super team
7794s This na EMA bracket is looking really
7795s good it's looking clean loving that yeah
7797s you just ignore the upper side all right
7799s there's more North American players on
7801s Space Station gaming you know what let's
7803s think about that that's something we
7806s we'd love to just ignore here giving you
7808s the hopes alive I do think we got to
7810s call out Landon I think maybe maybe we
7811s haven't been doing him Justice because I
7813s remember in na he was always on these
7815s tier two teams always talks about his
7817s potential and here it's realized
7819s absolutely now with this match of course
7821s uh concluded We Are One Step close to
7823s having our competitors selected for the
7826s ewc yes these players run in O Sports
7829s does not end here after the dream in
7832s Dallas they can set their eyes on a $1
7834s million prize pool to be fought for in
7837s July in Riad now there are still more
7839s spots to be claimed there as well we
7842s have four different regions uh of course
7844s participating competing in the faces
7846s leagues for their Regional spots and you
7849s too by the way can sign up to compete as
7851s well and face it's season 2 so make sure
7853s to make that happen and begin your
7855s Ascent to OverWatch greatness uh we
7858s spoke uh about PWC spots earlier this
7861s weekend and well everyone I think it is
7865s now time to put some rumors to rest
7868s let's take a look at this
7891s [Music]
7895s once
7897s again that's right we'll get to see them
7900s once again wink wink I actually can't
7902s wink I don't know how I'm just blinking
7904s like a psychopath uh we are so back but
7907s this one like rum is on the street we're
7909s out there we knew we're going to see
7910s those Chinese players again I mean come
7912s on this is a fan favorite Squad coming
7914s back it's been too long since we've seen
7916s them one of the only teams to come out
7918s of China and really deliver this
7919s worldclass performance they deserve to
7921s be at the Esports World Cup I can't wait
7923s to see what they bring to the
7924s competition we've been missing these
7926s guys honestly the the tournament is just
7927s not the same without Shai hitting head
7929s shot you know I can't wait to see Shai
7931s again it's going to be a good time yeah
7933s I mean let's actually take a look of
7935s course at the qualified teams we just uh
7938s talked about the uh Chinese team once
7941s again also so of course with the
7942s performance here in um dream mag Dallas
7946s uh ends as well as space station gaming
7948s have also qualified alongside crazy
7950s raccoons and Falcons uh yeah we do have
7954s more slots up for grabs as well more
7955s slot up for grabs the winning region
7957s gets one extra invite right so
7959s technically it's not it's not Asia yet
7962s it's not Asia SP yet there's a chance if
7965s space station wins this tournament they
7967s can extra get an extra start for you do
7969s it for the homies do it for the
7972s chance it's a long road though it's been
7975s a long road and and space station has
7976s walked it so far so that's right well uh
7979s while we're uh looking ahead already at
7981s ewc we're not done here yet we still
7984s have more matches to go we still have a
7986s champion to Crown for our first
7989s owcs major I can't wait to bring you all
7993s the action up next to two beasts from

8298s already signed up we
8300s have was that a question or a statement
8303s no I I I just have definitively of
8305s course I have so of course we have and
8308s also uh for the people watching you may
8310s have noticed we have a special guest
8312s with us casor coach from Toronto Define
8315s unfortunately you guys' run ended
8318s yesterday but what's the experience been
8320s like for you it did I think the events
8322s been run great I think you know after
8324s the little issues we had on day one you
8326s know I think everything's been going
8328s really smooth and I think stage looks
8330s great team look looks great but
8332s unfortunately we couldn't make it this
8334s far yet so I get to be here you know
8337s what better for us let's that's a
8339s victory for everyone here on the desk as
8341s we get to chat to you a little bit about
8343s the games we've seen so far uh are you
8345s surprised this is the first time of
8346s course we've seen those Regional clashes
8348s are you surprised at the different
8349s compositions the different metas and how
8351s it planned out I feel like The Meta
8353s developed like really fast in the long
8355s term like I think us and Falcons started
8358s playing that MAA comp like pretty early
8360s on and it's it seems like now like every
8363s region has their own flare you know like
8366s Falcons they have their two Flex DPS
8369s you've got crazy raccoon with lip on the
8371s hit scan but they still play a lot of
8373s dive and try to mix that in and then
8375s you've got EU playing a lot of Baptist
8377s and like these Rush compositions so I'd
8379s say it's like really healthy and because
8381s every like region is segregated now
8384s every like team gets to bring their own
8386s their flare to the to the competition I
8388s think that's really great I I do have a
8390s question about specifically the tanks
8392s we've seen you know for NS it's pretty
8393s understandable you're going to see a lot
8394s of Sigma but we've seen a lot of MAA
8397s from Asia and specifically you know
8399s Falcons played a lot of MAA why haven't
8401s we seen as much MAA perhaps from the
8404s other Na and EMA teams and at this level
8406s that we've seen it from players like hen
8409s for example or junin I feel like Falcons
8412s is so refined on it that it almost feels
8415s like when you go into them you almost
8418s don't want to mirror because they can
8419s hit the MAA 2 Flex DPS which on certain
8422s Maps I feel like is better than the Maga
8424s with the hit scan which a lot of teams
8426s are forced to run right I think not a
8429s lot of teams have the same flexibility
8431s as Falcons does but they also can play
8433s the hit skan as well as crazy raccoon
8435s can so I think that's like a really good
8437s segue leading into this match can the
8440s hit scan win against the two Flex DPS I
8442s mean if anyone can do it it would be lip
8445s right like I think a lot of people would
8446s call him best hit scan in the world
8448s right now but I think he faces maybe the
8450s toughest test he's ever faced for me if
8452s Falcons can win the day on the
8455s compositional game and take lip off of
8457s the Cassidy I think they may have
8459s already won the series I think that will
8460s decide it who can force their will on
8462s the series and have their vision of the
8464s game be coming out correct casar which
8466s of these individuals has stood out to
8468s you thus far in the tournament on team I
8470s definitely think jum's MAA has been like
8473s incredible I feel like the way crazy
8475s raccoons played against us it's their
8478s Tempo was so much higher than any na or
8481s EU team they played the game so much
8483s faster faster engagers faster setup
8485s faster rotations so we weren't able to
8488s keep up with them so it's going to be a
8490s test for the Falcons can they keep up
8492s with the rotations that the raccoons
8494s pull out let's actually take a look at
8496s uh the uh opposition here of course trra
8499s raccoon and uh look ahead at what they
8502s might be bringing to the table are they
8503s prepared and ready for that double Flex
8506s DPS action I mean that has been the big
8508s question on our mind this entire weekend
8509s really is that Falcons have so much
8511s flexibility to their name so what are
8513s you going to see Li for example is Li
8514s going to be forced to play a lot more
8515s Tracer in this matchup the thing is
8518s though C raccoon they've almost
8519s establish some form of dominance over
8521s Falcons we've been taking a look at the
8523s the Asia main event of course but even
8525s besides that in the group stages it
8527s always feels like C raccoon has been the
8528s superior team Falcons got the one back
8531s once and won in the series but for the
8532s most part C raccoon has been the best
8534s team in Asia so it's really on Falcons
8536s to like hey we got a solution we got a
8538s plan this meta suits us it's really on
8540s them to overcome the odds and take over
8543s that number one spot I feel like czy
8544s racon they have a stack roster but like
8546s lip has been so good can he
8548s realistically do it again against a
8550s double Flex player damage lineup like
8552s we're seeing from Falcons I will say
8554s before you really saw like the dive
8556s matchups between the two teams right you
8558s saw the dive now it's more of a Lucio
8560s KIRO and I do think that Chio and
8562s fielder have the edge in the Lucio KIRO
8565s matchup I feel like shu is Elite on Anna
8567s but I think in KIRO Fielder has got his
8570s number you know to be honest I think CH
8572s wrong has actually really really
8573s impressed me all season long I think for
8575s a long time we've talked about Chio and
8576s fielder as the duo but maybe finally Shu
8579s has met a Perfect combo in TR wrong this
8582s backline has been honestly monstrous all
8584s season long but I think you are right to
8586s call it because for me it's like CH
8587s wrong on on the brri when we really feel
8590s how much he gets done how much risk he
8592s takes and yet with the Trust In Shu they
8594s pull it out time and time again so if
8596s there's anybody who can keep lip alive
8598s on the Cassidy it would be these guys
8601s however you're talking about propers
8602s Genji and then stalker whether he brings
8605s the Venture the Tracer it almost doesn't
8607s matter to me in terms of his skill the
8608s question is can lip stand through that
8611s level of pressure I mean this is one of
8612s the hardest test for a hit scan a comp
8615s complet completely built to kill lip I
8617s mean that is going to be game plan
8618s number one lip knows it Falcons knows it
8620s just a question of who can make it
8621s happen yeah I mean you got to Target the
8624s warlord you know that 7 foot warlord
8626s someone has to break it down or bring
8628s him down let's uh hear it from the desk
8630s let's look at our predictions I think
8632s this one a tough one actually it is a
8633s rematch of course those two teams are
8635s very familiar with each other they know
8637s what they have in store for one another
8640s Honestly though while heading into this
8642s tournament I would have said crazy
8643s raccoons they are the favorite to win it
8645s after the performance we've seen thus
8647s far from team Falcons I actually am
8649s going to give it to them and I feel it
8653s might be a lot more convincing than some
8655s might expect I think they they found an
8657s answer to what we've seen thus far um
8661s crazy raccoons have not been pushed at
8663s all yet uh I think team Falcons have
8666s this in the back you know I agree I
8668s think it's going to be an upset win for
8670s Falcons I would call it an upset because
8671s I think crazy raccoon have had the edge
8673s uh in past matchups for these teams but
8675s for me I'm a Believer in the Genji
8676s Venture combo I think no matter how good
8678s you are at Cassidy these are heroes that
8680s just don't give you a chance Genji comes
8682s out with the deflect with the blade he's
8684s on top of your head Venture coming in
8686s from under the ground I think finally
8687s Genji has a true partner in this type of
8689s Allin hype aggressive dive I think
8691s venture has unlocked a new style of
8693s OverWatch that we've never seen before
8695s and I think it's going to be a really
8696s tough test for lip you know I really
8699s think that it's going to be a test of
8700s the proper Genji against the lip Cassidy
8703s I truly think that with you know we
8706s haven't talked about it yet but with
8707s Oasis being the first map I feel like
8709s that's a closer range map that's
8711s incredibly valued for that magga Genji
8714s comp that we've seen the Falcons pull
8716s out so I think with you know the loser
8718s picks map system it'll be a close match
8721s I think 32 Falcons oh wow you all went
8724s with Falcons are you that guy wow I well
8727s I'm not even that guy you are these
8729s people for real I mean crazy raccoon has
8731s been the best team so far in Asia and I
8734s think they've earned the respect to
8735s actually have me predict them in any
8736s case I mean it's in many ways it's
8738s Falcons trying to come up with an
8739s alternate solution what are we going to
8741s do to get the upper hand in this match
8743s up against uh crazy raccoon so uh it
8746s actually SS Falcons 3-2 here but I am
8748s going with czy raccoon 3-2 and I I
8750s promise you I'm not flip-flopping
8752s despite my past reputation from the
8755s start from this morning before I even
8756s had coffee it was crazy raccoon 3-2 all
8759s the way so I'm going with the raccoons
8761s on this one all right you sound not
8763s super Johnny stands with his six foot
8765s brother in the backline yeah me and lip
8768s you know we we we are we're tall
8771s people stick together that's why yeah
8774s take it to the little man have the same
8775s perspective on things yeah proper is
8777s pretty short so I can't predict Falcons
8779s you know that's how it goes how we make
8781s predictions that's why we pay the
8783s big uh I think it's there's just one way
8787s to find out who's going to come out on
8788s top that's of course playing the game
8790s I'm ready you guys are ready I know our
8792s audience is ready for this one so let's
8794s bring out our
8796s teams it's time to meet your teams
8799s everybody make some noise for crazy
8803s [Applause]
8806s raccoons crazy raccoon undoubtedly the
8809s champion of the Asia region the toughest
8812s OverWatch on the planet these are your
8814s Champions your survivors the tournament
8816s favorite most people would side with
8818s them but they fac an incredible test
8820s today perhaps the toughest yet in team
8826s Falcons and their opponents put your
8829s hands together for team
8833s Falcons team Falcons looking for the
8836s upset win against the crazy raccoons
8839s what do they have up for this one we've
8841s so seen so many competitions from this
8843s team they've dominated so far on the MAA
8846s adventure and Genji competition but also
8849s the far the life Weaver they got
8851s everything in their bag what are they
8853s going to bring out on stage to claim
8855s their spot in the grand
8859s finals the Earth is about to shake folks
8862s our two Titans of the OverWatch World
8864s lock horns once again it's a renewal of
8867s course of a regional rivalry our top two
8869s teams from the the Asia Pacific region
8872s who look to be the two best teams here
8874s at dream hack Dallas one of them moves
8876s straight to the final the other down in
8878s the lower bracket to take on Space
8879s Station gaming yeah and coming in I
8881s think no crazy recr is obviously the
8883s favorite uh it looks like though with
8885s the meta that we've seen so far and know
8888s the desk obviously favoring it Johnny
8890s picking both teams as per usual but uh
8893s your bet love that that uh the Venture
8895s Genji with the Marga seems to be what
8898s will win out uh it'll be interesting
8901s what we see from crazy Rec like if they
8903s continue to play Cassidy and whatnot and
8905s they're able to make that work then I
8907s think things completely Chang but I
8909s think a lot of know the the people
8911s watching and what not believe that you
8912s know that dive is going to be too strong
8914s too aggressive I think for Venture what
8916s makes them so powerful here is that they
8917s can advance through poke comps without
8920s taking any of that damage that was an
8922s issue for Tracer in the past also Tracer
8924s so susceptible to M grenade and the
8926s Hinds have provided and also Genji you
8928s don't want to use your defle cool down
8930s when you trying to get in we're trying
8931s to dive but you can come in from below
8933s of course behind that malga charging on
8935s in he Stomps you pop up your Genji
8938s dashes in you've got everything that you
8940s need it is a very powerful composition
8943s and one we've really seen these apack
8945s teams make great use of you know cus
8946s points out he says I feel like these
8947s teams play on another level they're very
8949s fast the rotations everything seems to
8951s happen at the literal speed of light
8953s it's hard to keep up with for so many of
8956s these other rosters but now we get a
8957s true test who will stand tall here in
8960s this Battle of Giants it's God Del with
8962s King Kong in OverWatch terms be heading
8964s over to Oasis to kick this off like you
8967s mentioned you the the amount of damage
8969s output right when you know Venture they
8971s pop up out of the ground MAA slam into
8974s Genji Dash I mean the the burst is
8977s unreal that comes out from that Comin we
8979s used to think Tracer Genji Winston was
8982s ridiculous in terms of just being a to
8983s dive on in and do work this is this is
8986s even worse yeah now we've g a long way
8988s this see I think I think I think it's
8990s more on I think the pressure is more on
8993s crazy Rec to be like okay we we know
8995s what Falcons has run so far it's been
8997s quite a you know aggressive and
9000s impactful how do we counter
9002s that here we go dream hack Dallas makes
9005s some noise it's crazy raccoon and team
9008s Falcons locking horns in this upper
9012s bracket
9014s final so they will actually come out
9016s with Tracer Echo here is a combination
9019s for crazy so proper doesn't play the G
9023s maybe this is a little bit of a read
9024s right that they would come out with the
9026s echo so we'll see Venture Tracer is a
9028s combination for Falcons f kangles are
9030s good for Tracy here you can play around
9033s the point fairly effectively providing
9034s your cool Downs are available to you
9037s there is of course the issue the Venture
9039s but Trac vers Venture it's an
9042s interesting match up indeed J already
9043s fell de Falcons what a great start
9046s playing together on the low ground and
9047s we're watching from he's point of view
9049s who just isn't in B in that first
9051s engagement and you know uh we we've
9053s talked a little bit about it I know Jake
9056s talked about it as well where you if you
9058s have that far uh for instance like can
9061s you drop the hit scan if you're going
9063s against that type of composition this is
9065s almost better for FAL in a sense that
9067s like you you didn't even see that
9069s there's like a far on the other side
9071s nothing you really have to deal with
9072s this jump now we'll go over to the Doom
9074s fist I think CH raccoon not having their
9077s point favor a bit more verticality I
9079s think Jin wants to ignore Smurf as much
9081s as is humanly possible proper makes a 4
9085s a though caus the jump in and C to turn
9087s their heads cardiac overdrive here's the
9089s stop shouldn't Been Under Pressure
9090s absolutely dominated could even throw up
9093s the power block that is disgusting he
9096s get power block from the ground that is
9098s filthy stuff as uh for Falcons you
9101s almost kind of consider Fielder on the
9103s Baptist kind of like your hit scan right
9105s you kind have dropped that completely if
9107s uh the first two fights here have gone
9109s heavily in favor of Falcons is above 50%
9114s on the point for crazy Ron how do you
9116s like The Rush right going to have to use
9118s this ksun Rush here get J inside of it
9122s and make a play as it looks like Smur
9124s trying to back up a little bit here not
9126s time to go just yet oh Falcons ready to
9128s crack back though like a sapling in the
9129s breeze here's the sound barrier now
9131s they're in for young and old pul sp
9133s there KN he's hang out of D and
9135s eventually prop out they clip the wings
9136s of the echo after the fact here's that
9138s Venture ultimate
9140s having to play back around the corner
9141s now being costed by the doomfist didn't
9143s have any health there and a later sound
9145s barrier for crazy raccoon everyone up
9147s now a cardiac overdrive not getting much
9150s use here as Falcons are turning tail and
9152s running most of the time but now they're
9153s back proper on the scene Chon going to
9155s be picked up but it's going to be traded
9156s as lip descends on the Tracer Smurf
9159s looking healthy though ready for cage
9161s fight in a few moments as he tries to
9163s par with some of those cool down it's
9164s Fielder who's gone J connects with the
9166s punch with Chio finds a tracer it's a
9169s very low Health malus Smurf almost
9170s misses the mega now trying to burn JN
9172s Vin down the backup is there for crazy
9174s raccoon and they're in the game yeah the
9176s biggest kill there was getting Fielder
9178s out of the way right fielder putting
9179s down a ton of damage there on that
9181s Baptist make a play for him in the
9184s backline you're able to get him so a few
9186s changes here so you'll actually also
9187s have soccer move away from Venture and
9189s play the echo so Echo Tracer battle here
9194s just a difference now in terms of the
9196s tanks B ulate out
9199s Falcons quite a real option but who you
9201s catch it's a very mobile composition
9203s from crazy raccoon everybody can sort of
9205s avoid
9206s it it all comes down execution in this
9209s fight as Falcons are already up to 81%
9211s Sher playing to the ground for the most
9213s part now OB to take that ledge he saying
9215s the FOC being claims him and who's in
9218s the cage absolutely bloody no one yeah
9220s looks like maybe trying to use that cage
9222s to kind of uh Coral the Doom Fist and
9224s stom there from SM she's low very very
9228s low it's first time going to finish up
9229s the Kiro falk's able to flip the point
9231s back Midway through the fight this
9232s favors them so much they didn't have to
9234s wait for a clean Fight Win to get
9236s control now crazy raccoon stack it a
9238s little bit yeah very much so J would be
9241s lucky to get out alive has to be a Swift
9243s step from shu to keep Doom in the fight
9245s he's hang on to duplicated Trace now the
9247s mobility will get him back to the
9249s point doesn't have much to do here by
9252s this time still 6 seconds left on that
9253s duplicate they'll be two traces for a
9255s while for crazy raccoon he's a sound
9257s Barry and stalkers having to use that
9258s window to find Chong Falcons d down now
9261s getting closer to a duplicate is stalker
9263s but he's comfortable it's got to be a Ki
9265s Rush here from crazy raccoon but can
9266s they get valy from it it doesn't look
9268s like it Smurf eventually Falls the
9270s sticky bombs of he get the job done but
9272s it's just not enough players here for
9273s crazy raccoon proper making sure of it
9276s he slap J in the next
9278s Tuesday and your a pack number two start
9281s with a round
9282s win yes it's uh in response to the crazy
9286s raccoon katun Rush is a great sound
9289s barrier there from Chio and then they
9292s have their own consun Rush a little bit
9293s later into the fight
9295s where I think you can already see right
9298s know that CR needs to kind of figure out
9300s an answer right playing this uh now we
9302s see a breing ball right so we've seen
9304s this in one of the previous series we
9305s cast of them as well but how does this
9308s go against the MAA now going back to
9310s venture and then proper as options uh
9313s Tracer Genji bunch of different options
9316s here to be able to play last time these
9318s two teams played in a final it was in
9321s AAA it's a very different landscape now
9325s and these two teams have a different
9326s take on the best way to play
9328s it been wreck B pretty powerful the the
9331s the disruption from the ball is going to
9332s be in way here right to deal with uh and
9336s I think for Falcons it's like okay well
9338s I don't know if the game plan changes
9339s much outside of you know the supports
9341s are going to be a little bit slippery to
9342s hit right you know the Lucio and the
9344s Freo very difficult to kind of track
9345s down now the mix oh that TCH is in
9349s j little flanking route there doesn't
9351s really get a lot done with the pile
9353s driver Falcons are Force off the point
9355s to start they'll be back though probably
9358s he's got a few angles to cover right now
9360s definitely concerned about he later into
9361s the fight who step back from the pile
9363s driver now as junin swings on out of
9365s there C raccoon taking their time really
9368s not fully committing to the point here
9369s waiting for junin to set them up but for
9372s what we'll have to wait and
9373s see and it seems like Falcons is totally
9376s fine playing this game right that
9377s eventually you know with the immortality
9379s field and some of the other damage they
9380s have in the mix it'll work out is Smurf
9382s pushes up through the choke K drive
9384s there they're able to find Shon I mean
9386s all this Falcons you know
9388s composition they want Smurf to take
9390s fights they want him to get engagement
9391s so czy Runa trying to avoid him again
9394s you can already do that for so long
9395s though Adventure here for stalker comes
9398s up big early on Li gets spelled by his
9400s own pulse bom link gets fielder for his
9401s troubles but that's just not enough but
9403s Fielder gets two before it even happens
9405s right so uh Fielder put in work on the B
9408s Just the extra damage output from having
9410s the Baptist the immortality field as
9413s well is that aity Trac could never no
9417s and you can also play the Venture with a
9418s tracer right it's not like you have to
9420s play it with
9422s again two here for his Matrix over
9425s Fielder is a BRI Prospect indeed will
9427s start the sber they already getting
9428s Smurf fing to somehow they've got into
9431s the cookie jar and leap upon the Lucio
9434s early in the fight Mr
9436s 250k well then Benjamin go spilling on
9438s the floor
9441s this is not if you're crazyer Rons and
9444s you're kind of wondering like okay can
9446s we hang with some of these compositions
9447s this is not the start for them here is
9451s uh it's going to be about 60% in
9453s counting now I guess the the positive
9455s here you look at is that there's no ant
9457s Matrix sound barrier available anymore
9460s uh for team Falcons but they are having
9463s a hard time dealing with this
9464s comp still waiting to see what the look
9467s how look how low so you know we we don't
9470s actually kind of catch it but Shu and
9472s Chong get hit by like a slam there and
9474s they're so weak right at the start there
9476s a cune rush here from Sho just trying to
9478s keep this one going oh this is a gap
9480s it's a bloody Gap folks another ultimate
9483s out from stalker P are respectful
9485s distance but that beautiful lip
9488s emerges into a
9490s harpoon M can wrap around here it's all
9493s clean up it's all done but the crying
9496s his team Falcons are nothing short of
9498s splendid on City Center junin keeps it
9502s alive keeps it going is uh you know I
9504s mean could get make it a little bit
9505s interesting right junin he stays alive
9507s it's going to be very difficult but you
9509s do have a sound barrier it's going to be
9511s a cage where are you going he and he is
9513s going back to the spawn there Chong with
9516s the sound barrier connects with three
9517s Jong at least not the first C in this
9519s fight for once able to find spur even
9521s hey there's something here good Kun idea
9523s from Chun to take Fielder down but jum
9524s has been removed recall from proper only
9527s three up right now for team Falcons
9529s they're still going to stand a fight
9530s they got no reason not to but it's
9531s getting a little dicey for your blue
9533s side yeah back goes the vengance stalker
9536s gets on out of Airfield switching over
9538s to
9539s the can he get it down yes here's the
9542s beat now for team FC Smurf even gets it
9544s in they go and Li once more gets
9546s flattened proper time to ignore the ma
9548s trying to get into the back line but the
9549s cardiac overdrive makes it tough can't
9552s find the burst damage he's looking for
9553s as he s is able to get rid of him back
9554s on the Genji after being caught in the
9556s cage last fight here's Smurf on the Doom
9559s this time around it should have been
9561s found some success on this malga but
9562s it's a little too little it's a little
9564s too late and team Falcons janitorial
9567s duties complete and a first M
9570s [Music]
9573s secured as they are towards the end
9575s Falcons did a tremendous job keeping it
9577s in OT allowing you know whether it was
9580s like stalker Chio getting around the
9581s corner keep it cycled keep it going and
9584s then getting that sound barrier and once
9586s they come around the corner with the
9587s sound barrier smurk launches himself
9589s stuff like a cannon on the Doom into the
9591s backline and there is nothing that crazy
9594s runs can do is uh they look a bit
9596s stunned there after that first m a lot
9599s of our players that we interviewed they
9601s weren't really upfront about this but
9603s they did say that they felt that perhaps
9605s the seeding for these apack teams was
9608s not quite accurate a little bit
9609s misleading right not quite accurate to
9611s where they stood because it was a result
9613s of a victory that crazy raccoon found in
9615s a very different metag game Let's head
9616s to the desk breakdown map number one ois
9618s goes to Falcons
9620s thank you MIT Matt yeah let's uh break
9623s it all down here on the desk as team
9625s Parkins is taking that first map Oasis
9629s and throughout the series it looked
9630s pretty clear that Kona are just trying
9633s to avoid taking that MAA mirrror I think
9636s that's a a losing strategy frankly I
9638s don't I don't think the ball really
9639s works against the MAA especially on a
9641s map like Oasis I think they're they're
9643s trying to keep the game in their
9644s wheelhouse um but we haven't seen enough
9646s this series I mean that was not the True
9647s Value test that I think we is not a real
9649s map anyway yeah yeah yeah a little bit a
9651s little bit crazy with the ball I think
9652s these teams are scrimmed against each
9654s other so much that I think the Lucio B
9656s is really taking the crazy raccoons off
9659s guard I feel like the B has done such a
9660s good job at shutting down that Echo but
9663s I feel like this Venture that's coming
9665s out is really like combining with the
9667s malga very well I think if Falcons can
9670s keep playing that two Flex DPS and you
9672s have crazy raccoons also play two Flex
9675s DP has stockin come out on top I think
9677s crazy raccoons need to figure out a way
9679s to play the hit yeah yeah but this is
9681s why you love having proper on your team
9683s right because he can play that hit scan
9684s role and he can do really well when it
9686s comes to the soldier and the Widowmaker
9687s all these years right but also Flex over
9689s to these projectile Heroes if required
9691s and that has really been the recipe for
9693s Success here for Falcons playing the
9695s Tracer and extremely high level of
9696s course the 2022 Rookie of the Year MVP
9699s as well I mean this guy is absolutely
9701s insane on this hero and now we have
9703s Falcons who yeah we have stalker who's
9705s one of the best players in the world but
9706s proper can really take over these games
9708s and really Flex over to what whatever
9709s it's required of him so okay you have
9711s lip on your team well proper can kind of
9712s match you with that Tracer and if we
9715s feel like we have a stronger match up we
9716s want to play something like vent Genji
9718s then you can do that too but proper
9720s offers you that flexibility and that is
9722s why he's so clut for this Falcons team
9723s as they go up one over C raccoon and
9725s he's such a self-sufficient player
9728s regardless of what hero he's actually
9730s playing really opening up uh a lot of
9732s support from Fielder andio to be
9734s allocated to the rest of the team I
9736s think this map M map one looking at
9738s these stats I mean a very one-sided map
9740s in terms of final blows it's going to
9741s test the veteran resilience on the side
9743s of crazy raccoon because that's a beat
9745s down on map one of what's supposed to be
9747s a hotly contested series I do think what
9749s crazy raccoon can feel good about is
9751s this isn't their true form I think the
9752s form that they've been preparing for the
9754s one that they hope will carry them to
9755s victory in this series is going to be
9757s lip on the Cassidy heang on the far
9759s taking that that malam mirror with their
9761s vision of it but I think you're right
9763s cast The Highlight the batist I think
9764s that Flex support player is going to be
9766s super crucial for Falcons the B is the
9769s one if you're not running a hit scan in
9770s your DPS line the B has to carry the
9773s load and that's no easy feat when you're
9775s also tasked with keeping everybody alive
9777s and and protecting yourself while you're
9778s at it well the ball is now in Crazy
9781s raccoon's Court of course as they get to
9783s choose the map as well as the map type
9785s casares you as a coach where would you
9787s take us here I think you know if you're
9791s playing this series I think you try to
9793s avoid the malamir as much as you can I
9795s think you really want to pick a dive map
9797s because we've seen in Asia that crazy
9799s raccoon been able to feed Falcons on
9801s that dive so if I'm them I'm taking it
9803s to like a root or jalter where you want
9805s to play that brg Onna Winston and I
9808s don't think we've seen much of those
9809s Maps yet in this tournament yeah I mean
9812s there's also the possibility of shaking
9814s things up for example like we always
9815s talk about tyre and escort but here
9817s we're actually seeing s being picked a m
9820s pretty comfortable with would you just
9821s like I want I'm curious about your
9823s opinion here kasor because you've
9825s actually matched some of the MAA
9826s compositions in the past against M80 for
9828s example used to play a ton of MAA are
9831s you just abandoning like a doomfist kind
9833s of composition to play around the MAA do
9834s you think it's over for to play the dive
9837s I think the shout is so strong when the
9840s doomfist goes in and you can make such a
9842s strong push with the malga that it's
9844s really hard to play Dive and I feel like
9845s last map was really the value test for
9847s crazy raccoons can we play dive into
9850s this malga it didn't work I don't think
9852s we'll see like more dive coming out from
9854s crazy raccoons I think they're picking
9855s surasa because they want to play that
9857s cast fair amalga I'm I mean to be honest
9860s I'm really worried about a flasho pick
9862s coming out this early in the series for
9864s me in this format the reason you pick
9866s flasho is you have low confidence in the
9868s ability to win the series you're
9870s desperate to do something to get a map
9871s win because for me escort and hybrid are
9873s just obviously the most valuable map
9875s tyes to pick you can shut out the most
9877s Variety in the map Pool and so when you
9879s pick flasho you're trying to get
9881s purchase in this series you're trying to
9882s get some kind of win because
9884s theoretically the flas point map would
9885s come out eventually anyway right like
9887s you don't really need to pick it this
9888s early in the series unless you're
9890s feeling as a team like we just need to
9891s put something on the board or this could
9893s also be the crazy raccoon saying we know
9895s what escort and hybrid you guys are
9897s going to pick so we want to pick flasho
9899s because we're confident against all your
9901s picks this is why he's the coach that's
9903s 900 IQ that's right put him in put him
9906s in well we are ready for map number two
9909s let's see if crazy raccoon can bring
9910s this one
9912s back zasa our second map of this series
9916s selected and interesting takes on the
9917s desk here Jake on a feeling that this is
9919s a sign of low Confidence from crazy
9921s raccoon already we're kind of Flipping
9923s The Narrative from the pregame on his
9925s head yeah I I kind of would tend to
9929s agree with Jake and also the okay so
9933s even if you get the map on the board
9935s here right if you're crazy Rin uh you
9937s have given them the option of picking
9940s their best hybrid or escort and maybe
9943s they feel like that you know they know
9945s which Maps those are going to be and
9946s they feel pretty good about those um I I
9949s think this is also to try and maybe get
9950s some hit scan into the mix right I know
9953s see lit potentially uh pick
9956s up that CLE yet again but obviously
9960s still some time for teams to make some
9964s changes all right crazy raccoon a pretty
9969s rough first map they got demolished on
9971s Oasis especially on City Center they
9973s tried a few different comps tried the
9974s wrecking ball tried the Doom nothing
9976s stuck team Falcons happy enough to stick
9979s with the Mar composition why wouldn't he
9980s be the far here coming out of the gates
9984s as we're head into our second map of his
9985s best of five yeah so it's far MAA from
9989s Falcons right when you have the far in
9990s the mix you have the kiko as well so no
9992s bti they'll actually be crazy for Queens
9994s I'll actually be playing the geni here
9995s so not going to be playing a bar Cassidy
9999s combination they're actually going to be
10000s playing the Genji in combination with
10002s the ma dman eventually will have to se
10004s that High Ground look like craon tried
10006s to push ahead of this make it hard for
10008s Falcons to get in in
10010s okay fair enough free pick stalker down
10012s but it's traed both Mal having a fine
10014s purchase here but the damage is too much
10016s to Smur elsewhere though Falcons found
10019s other advantages jman tries to get a big
10021s stop but that is Sid step by the highly
10023s mobile Falcons lineup now it's one magav
10026s vers the world have as many Rippling
10028s muscles as you like friend that is a
10029s numbers disadvantage yeah but uh know
10032s it's great to have your MAA alive but
10034s when proper killed the entire rest of
10036s the team it doesn't exactly matter that
10038s much right is nice to know the propero
10040s kill still a valid strategy Chio and
10042s fielder keep themselves alive know
10044s throughout all of that as well so even
10046s with that early kill on the stalker does
10048s not pay off there for crazy ragon now
10052s what you have a far in control of the
10054s point here you have to find a way to
10056s address this stalker making it hard to
10059s catch him C pops up brings a little bit
10061s of burn from the malga Jung moves up as
10065s well hear those shots coming out from
10067s the Peacekeeper they trying to lay
10069s Falcon load here as proper will advance
10071s ciac overdrive already used by CRA racon
10073s the pulse bomb got to be dodged away J
10075s One than happy to show the charge in the
10076s other direction for now oh that was
10078s almost a kill for lip he thought he
10079s might have had a freebie there but Jong
10081s and heang go to work and eventually spur
10083s is the only one left and I wonder if
10085s Falcons will move away from this like
10087s with the hit scan on the other side this
10090s a perfect opportunity to potentially
10092s play uh know that that Venture so good
10095s on you could just keep playing Far you
10098s keep playing Far
10099s is Venture really good on that flash
10101s point you I I mean I don't think this is
10103s probably the the best flash one uh for
10106s them but uh seeing stalker you know here
10109s on the the far and seeing proper make
10110s the switch over the Genji right so this
10112s will put a little bit more pressure onto
10113s Li all right J had a drop off the point
10116s there just too exposed to these Rockets
10118s from a little bit of a deflect here good
10120s pop damage here come the Falcons barage
10123s on The High Ground though of course
10124s it'll be a South barrier crazy racu
10125s withstand the storm lip out a respond
10128s hit shot on stalker removes the far and
10130s now Fielder is caught out in the open
10132s beautiful Dash from heack droper
10134s finished off a nice clean up sees CER
10137s racon in position to take this first
10138s flash point yeah they get immense value
10140s there out of that katun
10142s Rush assassinating Smurf as he tries to
10145s Le so now you'll see the swap so s
10148s proper go over to Genji here it was kind
10150s of the okay we're going to get this
10152s barrage we're going to use it and then
10153s we're going to switch here over to the
10155s Venture so crazy they make it work here
10158s with the Cassidy G
10159s let's see now if this is kind of the a
10162s real test right can they make it work
10164s here now this has been Falcon kind of
10166s bread and butter throughout the
10167s tournament in terms of c and they got to
10169s respect their lip cacity here bar is
10172s such a vulnerability against that so
10175s crau move in first they have control of
10176s this flash point will be open in about
10178s 15 seconds so plenty of time for a bit
10180s of an early fight Falcons trying and get
10182s advantageous positioning first but J
10184s might throw a cage fight here drags
10187s people down don't know how prob caught
10189s out there he's sank able to finish the
10190s job though yeah I mean that is huge ra
10193s know the Genji is such a big part of
10196s that Dive Right the
10198s ma Venture and Genji getting into the
10201s backline so without the Genji that's a
10202s large source of damage basically gives
10204s Crazy R the point early the arrow is
10206s starting to creep in already for Falcons
10208s double players getting picked off here
10210s uncharacteristic for proper but it
10211s happens to the best of them here is the
10212s cage fight both teams going to use that
10215s too much of an advantage not to two
10217s glancing blows taken by Li he's able to
10218s back away behind the M get ready to
10220s throw himself in but D is waiting with
10222s open arms complet the kill wait a minute
10224s okay that wasn't an Ajax We Carry On dra
10227s out a in mid air was an easy pick off
10229s Falcons emerg here on Topman needs to
10233s respect the J bit St doesn't really have
10235s anywhere to go outside of backing out
10238s and this is more percentage for crazy
10239s raccoon eventually they'll address the
10241s Mal that's a Healthy
10243s Start yeah absolutely he will lose jump
10246s in here towards the end of this so not
10248s able to fully back out that was also
10250s blade there from eent so ended up trying
10253s to pop the blade there to keep that one
10255s going it was actually a kume rush from
10257s Fielder when that cage fight was coming
10258s down trying to keep I know everybody
10260s alive on through that so have a sound
10263s barrier here available for Falcon sound
10266s barrier with a blade as proper is taking
10268s some big damage has to be real careful
10270s it takes a while for f top him up as
10271s well in relative terms and he def l in
10274s the fight here toon going to be verging
10275s on that sound barrier though here he
10277s goes he's going to force that ultimate
10278s out proper how heavily does he commit to
10280s this okay Waits a little bit gives it a
10282s beat and then goes on in Smurf is the
10284s first casualty here proper finds one
10286s target Li a good one def fire but is it
10288s too late in the fight proper seems to
10290s think so he'll get a heal pack try and
10292s get back in there was a flip back by
10294s crazy raccoon there they're in control
10296s once more yes it looks like everybody on
10299s Falcon's just trying to hi High tail and
10300s nobody wants to fall
10302s here would just stagger them out even
10305s further in a scenario where they really
10307s can well you have everybody back C over
10309s drive here okay suzu also used there by
10311s Fielder give them a window but time is
10313s running out 99% en counting here and
10315s there's no touch on the flash point what
10318s Falcons give get another one up crazy
10319s raccoon on the verge of taking the map
10322s away yes uh we were a little bit curious
10325s about their decision here to go to
10330s surasa everybody's going to go home and
10332s play V not play like this I do I do want
10336s to go play Venture I'm not going to lie
10337s yeah again stalker makes it look easy
10341s however that's the only thing that has
10342s looked simple for Falcon so far this map
10345s they' been a step behind at every
10347s turn so you'll see I mean crazy pretty
10350s big Advantage here right Falcons ended
10352s up using their beat from the previous
10354s fight it's going to be a consing rush
10356s here for Falcons opening it up but it's
10358s going to be a cage by blade combo here
10360s for crazy raccoons he like just work
10362s around the fringes of it never had to
10364s fully
10365s commit and when it's just a magga left
10367s standing you know your target priority
10369s has been good little sag here let me out
10371s he says Let Me Out J wrong okay we're
10374s all good yeah that is one of uh the more
10377s uh devastating combos right if you're
10379s able to land one of those big cage
10380s fights and then a dragon blade comes on
10382s through especially with no sound barrier
10384s on the other side I mean it is chocked
10385s at that point so crazy recruit get
10388s control of the point first as now they a
10391s look dominant here no excuse for Falcons
10393s not to win this
10394s fight unless something goes wrong and
10396s Tron gets to beat in time here we go
10400s you see how you see how they disengage
10402s other so fast once they see that Venture
10405s start to dig and come towards they just
10407s get everybody out of their way that did
10408s look like more of a faint from Falcons
10410s In fairness here come the real cool
10411s Downs suu got popped there here's the C
10413s fight giio holds the beat holds the beat
10415s lets it go now J's able to build one up
10417s of his own but Smur is going to fall
10418s first he's saying hits hard in the
10420s middle of the cage fight well I said
10422s there no excuse and here we are team f
10424s use two ultimates but you got that K
10426s Rush that's the map there folks there's
10428s no chance for Falcons to come back as
10430s crazy raccoon even up the series
10433s dominance on
10437s surasa that was not close I mean quick
10441s that was Lightning Fast I'd love to know
10444s in terms of like uh flash point games
10447s where that RS all time in terms of speed
10450s as uh to me it like felt like that I
10452s mean that I I think the CID obviously
10454s know helps with just in terms of the
10456s consistent damage it didn't really feel
10458s like that was like the the biggest
10460s difference between these two teams uh it
10462s seems like crazy raccoon just came out
10463s on another level in that map let's any
10465s way it is break it down it's one a piece
10467s in the
10468s series well here we are it is a serious
10471s now one one of pieace as crazy recruit
10474s are matching them what a phenomenal
10477s performance there on their very own map
10479s picture of us that's why they took us
10482s quite frankly team Fox I want to talk
10484s about the composition they rocking out
10486s with that far really didn't work for
10487s them they only switched to the
10489s what was that far pick again can anyone
10491s like walk me through this I think
10492s they're both mind gaming each other Cass
10494s we were talking about this what what was
10495s your take on it I really feel like this
10497s Fara it's it's about the first point
10500s it's about the poke you can get on the
10501s MAA and I think they really want to try
10503s and make like not hit scan work but I
10506s think throughout the series you saw them
10508s try to like pick more picks to try and
10510s shut down lip and I think you know both
10513s teams were trying to outman game each
10516s other and I feel like crazy raccoons got
10517s the better first fight fight com and
10519s then you saw like Falcons try to catch
10521s up the whole map and you know you
10524s criticized it earlier Jake but maybe
10526s Sasa was the map pick cuz I can I can
10529s imagine right now that they're not
10530s feeling like incredible and confident in
10533s that malamir yeah I mean it's incredible
10535s how this is currently developing
10536s throughout the series and we're likely
10538s to see a lot more developments as this
10540s series progresses right he's Sayang with
10542s a great performance here on the Genji on
10543s suras and a lot of impact of course it's
10546s a bit of a different style here because
10547s we talked pregame about how you don't
10549s expect him to swap over to the Genji or
10551s Venture at all more it's going to be the
10553s hit scan right and that is something
10554s they can lean on hit he's stand with a
10556s clutch Dragon Blade there and you can
10557s see the stats themselves against proper
10559s as well coming through with the 14 to9
10561s final blow obviously a three o Rob like
10563s how often do you see a three yasa like
10565s that was really dominant uh I I really
10567s want to give a shout out as well to
10568s Chong and Chu I think they layered their
10570s support really clutch you saw it on
10572s point B for example you see that lip
10574s playing the Cy it shifts the way the
10576s neutral happens a little bit so Falcons
10578s they want get in there with their Genji
10579s adventure and lip is like Public Enemy
10582s Number One on that c right well you see
10584s Chong com in clutch with a s barrier and
10586s Then followed by the kitsun rush to
10588s shift the momentum when Falcons have
10590s brought really engaged so a great
10591s execution by C run well team f now get
10595s the the map pick here obviously so where
10597s are we taking it are we going to see us
10598s on this sport are we are we heading to
10600s Circuit or something along those lines
10602s to really play to their strength I think
10603s there's a really good chance that we do
10605s see circuit come out I think for Falcons
10607s you want to avoid something like like
10608s jalter and I think to be honest crazy
10611s raccoon they got what they wanted out of
10613s this pick taking flasho out of the pool
10615s we got push great out but it is flash
10616s point that's been taken out of the pool
10618s avoiding new junk City but the cost is
10620s that Falcons now has the opportunity to
10621s block something like a jalter something
10623s where you know maybe shoes on a Chong's
10625s break they can avoid that I think it's
10627s most likely going to be an escort and to
10629s be honest surma jet has been a great
10631s performer for this team I think some
10632s people criticize his appearance on team
10634s Falcons questioning why he's on the team
10636s but every time this guy comes in he
10637s looks incredibly good
10639s M though maybe maybe wanted to block a
10641s hybrid Choice treating that as a higher
10643s priority still though I mean I think
10645s between hybrid and escort just depends
10646s on your preference from I feel like it's
10648s almost like an unspoken secret that
10650s maybe this series is going to go to
10651s Circuit so nether team wants to pick
10654s escort and they both want to pick like
10657s other maps to like just play to their
10659s shrinks and play that you know
10661s confidence role I think Falcons now
10664s really feeling less confidence and
10667s they're picking this map because it's of
10668s their stronger Maps they want to play
10671s into max perhaps and you know go from
10676s there it's going to be interesting to
10677s see the change up I think one thing we
10678s saw in that last map that I really
10680s wanted to highlight from the raccoons is
10682s that with so much pressure on lip right
10684s the double Flex DPS we talked about how
10685s they're going to Target lip that's
10686s what's been focused but that leaves he
10688s saying the Genji swap that's a new
10690s innovation we haven't seen it
10691s traditionally he's been always on the
10692s far to pair with the Cassidy but Genji
10694s now can be maybe really really
10696s aggressive you don't have anyone
10697s comboing with you but junin was playing
10699s that role really playing to the tempo
10701s that crazy raccoon has been their
10702s signature all season long and so while
10704s everyone's looking at lip it's junin and
10706s he's saying feasting on your backline
10708s maybe not receiving enough pressure from
10710s the double Flex DPS so a new look from
10712s raccoons that I don't think Falcons are
10713s ready for here so in this situation
10715s cures we know that both teams they have
10717s two extremely good tank players on
10719s either team as you're making these map
10721s picks do you target individual
10723s substitutions to might maybe try and get
10724s an edge that way so I feel like if you
10726s know a certain player is coming in on
10728s certain Maps I think you want to take
10730s the momentum out of like the crazy
10733s raccoons here I think jumin just played
10735s an incredible map to pick that Midtown
10737s and take jumin out and put in maybe like
10740s a cold you know coming off the bench max
10743s I think is actually a really good choice
10745s and I think they want to play like oh
10747s jum in Max oh and then jum in has to
10749s come in cold again I think it's such a
10752s good choice by the Falcons here we're
10754s we're very far away from like overw
10756s League 2018 we're like on map five you
10758s go in cold and see if you can clutch it
10760s out we're very far away from those days
10762s now we're actually like you said maybe
10764s wanting to put the people on the bench
10765s in just to have them come in mid match
10767s and maybe throw off some of that
10769s momentum that czy raccoon buildt up here
10771s I mean frankly in the format we're
10772s playing especially here at dreamhack
10774s there's so many layers to it with the
10776s substitutions but also with the
10778s opportunity to pick those Maps did they
10780s make preparations more difficult for you
10782s and your team 100% I mean I think
10785s there's so many choices on like the map
10787s you could pick your best map you can
10789s pick the take Maps away or you can pick
10791s for enemy substitutions I think both
10794s teams really playing m games here and I
10797s think you know we criticize the surasa
10799s pick because maybe for variety's sake
10801s like there's only two flasho maps so and
10804s those two are quite similar but I think
10807s you know crazy raccoon's really saying
10809s like we're ready for any escort and
10810s hybrid map so throw at throw at as what
10814s you got and we've seen Midtown so many
10815s times between these two teams I think
10817s we're going to see that break B Sigma
10820s and let's see who which team can take it
10822s when it comes to those Heroes too I'm
10823s honestly a little worried for the
10825s Falcons because I mean Shu on the B I
10827s mean we talk about his Anna we talk
10829s about his kir but the B for me is where
10830s Shu sh shines like it's ridiculous you
10833s get on this guy's first person and it it
10835s check his PC it doesn't look right he's
10838s he's a freak on the B he he is another
10840s DPS on the server and he doesn't stop
10842s healing I mean he's not he's not
10844s abandoning his duties as as a Healer
10846s he's doing it all at once it's a little
10848s ridiculous Chong the aggression the
10850s confidence in shoe we see from that main
10852s sport role I think Chong is at his Peak
10853s on brig so this is a dangerous pick but
10856s I think both these teams like you said
10857s tons of confidence maybe they they want
10859s to challenge each other like yeah bring
10860s out bring out your best we will match it
10862s and we'll see if that pays off for the
10864s Falcons but this is falcons' map pick so
10866s they must have something interesting
10868s prepared I think they're going to try
10869s and have like a really set strategy
10871s against this Sigma you know maybe taking
10874s something from the eu's maybe we'll see
10876s Reinhardt or maybe they'll go with that
10879s I see it I can see it I think maybe
10881s bringing the maybe baiting a sigma out
10883s as a traditional Midtown defense
10884s strategy we've seen Falcons run Anna
10886s with the malga against the sigma leaving
10888s the Anna to often die but get that nade
10891s off crucially on the enemy backline and
10893s matter how good you are at healing
10894s you're not healing through the anti-ad
10895s so that could be playing to some of
10897s Fielder's incredible potential on that
10898s hero the nanoade combo with proper maybe
10901s leaning into trying to bait out some
10903s Sigma from the Falcons or from the
10905s raccoons rather so who knows
10906s strategically I think you're right both
10908s these seems have something cooked up you
10909s just baited reinforc into hopium for
10912s some right just I'm down for a little
10915s bit of everything you know when you know
10917s how how far do we have to wait until we
10918s start like really going down into the
10920s depths and like you know the NRG Esports
10922s life Weaver elori comp like you know
10925s when do we
10926s no a 1% chance Jak one played life
10930s weever before I mean look I don't hate
10932s the life Weaver but I'm I don't think
10934s FAL but I don't think Falcons is doing
10937s that no no no
10938s I mean it's one one in the series teams
10941s could take some risks here and there
10943s maybe not that risky but you know like
10945s something something maybe a little more
10947s out there which of the two teams is more
10950s likely to throw a wrench in this Banner
10952s oh I definitely think it's Falcons right
10954s here they just got beaten that malamir
10956s they're picking this map to not go to
10957s Aamir so we're going to see some
10959s interesting picks I think I think
10961s they're ready for this Max of
10963s Sigma that's right we have a lot of
10966s great head to heads in the this very
10969s matchup hitting you up with some stats
10971s here as well all right yeah I mean
10973s proper had the upper hand when it came
10974s to uh the Tracer duel there as well but
10976s I feel like this is constantly going to
10977s develop and you know when you're playing
10979s this MAA compositions as well like it's
10980s so like Broly that you know you can't
10982s really look at like individual duals as
10984s much as it's like you're trying to focus
10985s different targets and trying to get the
10987s damage for Costo you know we have all
10988s these fantastic individual players but
10990s it really comes down to the teamwork and
10991s the execution the positioning in this
10993s one specifically when you have this
10994s volatile compositions like the MAA for
10996s example so it's all about the teamwork
10998s it's all about Teamwork Makes the Dream
11000s workor Taylor's oldest time here of
11003s course uh looking at those two teams
11006s which of them would struggle more
11008s against SSG if they're dropping down to
11010s the lower bracket to be honest I think I
11013s think Falcons have the download um on
11015s the European teams I think they came
11016s that was the first two matches they
11018s don't well maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm
11020s wrong but they came to the tournament
11021s they played both those teams they sent
11023s them sent them to the lower bracket with
11025s ease Yak you got you got one draw on the
11028s Bonnie with a cheeky back cap but you
11030s didn't you didn't win a map no one has
11031s won none of the European teams have won
11033s a map against Falcons and to be honest I
11035s I can't expect anything to be different
11037s if that's what we've seen there wasn't
11038s even the glimmer of hope so far so maybe
11040s the Ry maybe that is the mix-up but to
11042s be honest I I think Falcons have
11044s prepared for anything that could come
11046s crazy raccoon to be honest I I don't
11048s think they're going to have much trouble
11049s either I think they have the flexibility
11050s to match but if I were to pick one I'd
11052s say Falcons have them download I think
11054s that Venture Genji works so well into
11056s the European Baptist we see both
11058s Europeans teams like playing that
11060s Baptist and SSG if if you can force
11063s Landon to Swatch like to swap off I
11065s think you're in a tough spot so I think
11067s they're going to pull it through on that
11069s Ry comp on that malga comp on the Racha
11072s comp and I think you know Falcons has
11074s such a good matchup into that so if I'm
11077s you know SG right now I'm hoping that
11079s crazy raccoons loses so that I can face
11081s them seriously I agree I agree yeah I
11084s mean it is to be said though I think
11086s these two are the best teams in the
11087s tournament so far and in many ways this
11088s is a preview I think of the grand finals
11091s regardless of who loses in this series
11093s but that just makes it so much more
11094s interesting when it comes to the
11095s in-depth stuff right because in many
11097s ways you want to learn as much as you
11098s can about your opponent because this is
11100s just the winner brackets finals you want
11102s to win the grand finals and so it's
11103s about getting a good read before them
11105s too you know in this situation though
11107s what do you do uh maybe some insight
11109s from you here are you holding anything
11111s back uh in order to make it to the
11113s finals and then if you're expecting to
11114s see the same team there again will you
11117s be holding something back I feel like in
11118s this tournament actually going through
11120s the upper bracket has been more valuable
11122s than in any other OverWatch tournament
11124s so far you get the first map pick that's
11126s absolutely massive because of this
11128s losers pick system so I think crazy
11130s raccoons and Falcons definitely aren't
11132s holding anything back I think they're
11134s going to put it all on the table so that
11136s they can value test their matchups and
11139s go into this like finals that's right
11142s everything on the table they do want
11144s that Advantage going through the upper
11146s bracket let's see which can get it down
11149s as we're heading into map number
11151s three now Titans to the APAC region are
11154s locked at one a piece in this series and
11156s a substitution sees Max come on in for
11159s junin notably Matthew no side of mar
11163s today field look very good on the
11164s Baptist on Oasis yeah absolutely also uh
11168s yeah I think the Fielder look he's
11170s tremendous on all of the flex supports
11173s if you didn't want to take them out you
11174s don't have to but that true B yeah it's
11176s true that's something a little bit
11177s different noted by the desk is probably
11179s his most fed hero I think actually
11181s initially when Shu came on the scene
11183s with quango charge it was his aror that
11184s Lit the world on fire but yeah he might
11186s that F
11188s this it'll be crazy forr here on defense
11191s here to start so Sigma based composition
11195s they bring Max into the game for J been
11196s play that
11198s and what is this look at what hard's
11202s done you happy now
11205s Hardy all right we'll see if we stick
11206s they stick with this TP up High ground
11208s and cross the choke without taking any
11209s poke damage important against the sigma
11212s who wants to work the rard down before
11215s get there they are not running the uh
11217s Sim with it right so proper actually
11219s going to end up playing the Cy plank
11221s ofan for their far
11223s switch going to go for it straight
11225s through the train they go heang actually
11227s splits them up there with a concussive
11228s blasted Fielder eats a rocket for
11231s free nicely done I mean you're not
11234s dodging a fire strike in that train C no
11236s Sur the power is down this is aw though
11238s for Falcons Ryan comes crashing down
11241s they take so much damage on the way in
11243s right I mean they do end up getting
11244s heang as he think it's into a really
11246s awkward spot going the opposite way down
11249s that train car so some changes now here
11252s for Falcons yeah yeah not for that not
11254s for that it V malga it is yeah we we
11258s know like hit scan right you play the
11260s Tracer here the hit scan is essentially
11262s fielder for that far up in the
11266s sky if he wants to mik his y knows the
11268s sigma is going to be an issue but Max
11270s cones that High Ground awfully early in
11271s the piece and there's that hit scan goes
11273s to work Fielder got rid of lip with a
11275s lot of involvement for the rest of
11276s Falcons and hey who would have thought
11278s the com switch pays off they're moving
11282s up five versus three it is prop to Reco
11285s there is Max St start hold his ground
11288s stalker wants the pressure wants to make
11289s it costly for raccoons to push it up to
11291s the point yeah they don't even have to
11293s push around the corner here Falcons
11295s right as you see how low Max get say Max
11298s Max gets quite low and then when you
11300s know the the supports try and push up
11302s they have a MAA stomping in their face
11306s that'll be Falcon's PE in the first
11307s point now Raz raccoon bit the curb in
11310s that
11312s fight now Falcon set up here behind
11314s Field's amplification main Bri again in
11316s this composition more for Field's own
11319s use than anyone
11320s else's Sigma Sigma BR Anor Venture half
11325s gear for crazy re so this is we've seen
11328s the Venture played mostly with the prop
11332s Widow now proper Widow here so all right
11336s we're we're we're going a little crazy
11338s here what you get when two teams know
11340s each other so well and C's pointed this
11343s out they're going to pull out all the
11344s stops to try and get into that final
11346s from the upper bracket nice head shot on
11348s Li but he's nanab boosted himself going
11349s to take a couple more than that good hit
11351s from dropper but yeah crazy raccoon
11354s swarming all over the Falcons yes he a
11357s get to The High Ground as well so grief
11359s for in the fight but yeah I mean lip's
11361s going to be very difficult to be a few
11363s head shot there from prer but he's got
11365s the benefits the Nano boost to come in
11366s from
11367s Shu almost impossible as live space he's
11371s going to come up with some big plays
11373s they're going for this theyit the sound
11374s barrier here they able to find a kill
11376s but it's one for one stuff yeah spawn
11378s Advantage here fa is Falcons SO trading
11381s is acceptable they spend that Luc
11386s ultimate I mean it's a winning fight
11388s right you're you're able to get a Fight
11390s Win there so they actually stagger heang
11392s out just stuck in front of the Falcon
11395s spawn so now we'll see a MAA mirror here
11399s the you're just not going to play the
11400s Tracer here if you're crazy Rec then
11402s also this is something that we saw that
11404s Falcons did earlier in the uh in the
11407s tournament right where they played this
11408s on a Lucio backline so they moved
11411s exclusively almost over to the
11413s bti yeah fer trusted to fill that role
11417s hard to argue with
11419s that he's saying of course there the
11421s splash damage off those harpoons is
11423s pretty effective in those TI corridors
11425s Gio got flatten there I think he's able
11427s to come in behind Smurf he got a big
11429s stop he got Cho Max is down this is
11433s heavily Stu stalker able to find that
11435s elimination on he's saying the Falcons
11436s are closing the Gap mid ultimate though
11438s stalker is slept the fights already
11442s won yeah I mean even even with that
11444s sleep on the stalker there's nothing you
11446s can really do there
11449s Falcons running it down now ever since
11451s we've had a kind of competitional change
11453s even miror this Mara is cardiac dri
11457s Smurf runs away gets back towards the
11459s car this they try and contest but they
11461s don't make it there so that's going to
11462s be the second checkpoint there for B
11464s yeah they lose Chong there as well to
11465s pulse bom that was really meant for Max
11468s Falcons coming alive in these last
11470s couple of moments after switching to
11471s this Venture set
11473s up mod over able to find one for his
11476s troubles that's not enough constellation
11478s only fact that they do a very good job
11480s of setting the line of scrimmage quite
11481s far forward yeah now they're playing
11484s with Genji GRE here so czy is trying to
11488s make some changes uh quite notably the
11490s only thing they really haven't changed
11491s is playing this Cassidy they want to try
11493s and force this hit scan into the
11497s mix See Spot found Value Beauty from
11501s great pred
11502s Shri better lucky than good sometimes
11505s and if you got both then hey you're
11506s laughing all the way to the bank
11509s we'll see how far they decide to push
11510s morality kill in the spawn there for
11512s Falcons is they chase down Fielder is
11516s maybe you can actually come out of this
11517s as she's going to use sound barrier this
11519s a sound barrier for czy as well only
11521s connects with three I like it from Li
11523s though SM doesn't get the sound barrier
11524s he was able to work that M down and as
11527s is getting chaotic crazy raccoon able to
11528s fight back here despite Falcon
11530s committing a sound barrier after picking
11532s he sang off it's inconclusive but theard
11535s is on the move once more Kio
11538s yes he gets back into the mix so maybe
11541s you don't have this sound barrier back
11543s up when blade comes through but I think
11546s if you're Falcons you look at hey we we
11548s want to finish this one right here right
11550s you have the the cage fight cage fight H
11552s Spa Plus The Venture coming on it's
11554s going to be k for both team dead fight
11556s makes this complicated waiting holding
11559s fights the shot proper down he waitting
11561s until the cage fell and the curtain
11563s comes down on that fight for Falcons
11569s all right you get a Fight Win here for
11570s crazy Raccoon as he say will have this
11574s blade nothing on the other side to stop
11576s and look at how aggressive they've been
11578s getting like consistently up to the
11580s spawn door here wanting to force out
11582s some of these ultimate resources as they
11584s try and get out of the spawn fastly he's
11586s saying again last time he got punished
11588s if you remember FAL committed ch's beat
11591s and tried to take fight rush back in
11593s this time much cleaner from heang
11595s getting good stack of kills showing
11597s aggression without overc committing
11598s there leaving crazy racon at full
11600s stength now spawn
11603s champing had a really good series th far
11606s blade done instantly that might have
11608s been the stop I think I think it was
11610s good little turnabout by Smurf to
11611s receive he sank FAL though waiting on it
11614s they need to get top back up inside the
11615s imortality field and now it's go time
11617s and make tricks there is well it's
11620s aggressive crazy raccoon F back from it
11622s they do have the capacity to disengage
11624s here Shu able to use a Swift step to get
11626s back to the rest of his team but here
11627s come Falcons Here Comes Smurf proper
11629s there as well we're going to push up to
11630s the Venture ultimate sound barrier even
11632s committed along with the katun rush
11634s crazy raccoon L to fight they're born to
11636s do it keyang here around the kios will
11639s eventually be brought down by proper
11641s Glock the dash from Max to get away from
11644s the Tracer twoe drops down no proper is
11646s coming he the pit of P of those Tracer
11648s footsteps cardiac overdrive now as CER
11650s raccoon try and find a way to stand to
11652s to stand their ground Builder briefly
11654s switching the L Mo but things better of
11655s it finally crazy raccoon take the Fe off
11657s the gas there's 10 seconds left for
11659s Falcons to make this last push yes they
11660s tried to get around the corner deal with
11662s proper or Chio it'll be Falcons they'll
11664s be able to get a touch but with another
11666s Dead Eye here it is Li lets it Go Chio
11670s oh somehow gets away but Chong's got the
11672s extra damage to follow up kako drive to
11674s Smur and lacks the healing lacks the
11675s backup of Chio dangerous here
11677s immortality Feld removed by Falcons they
11679s don't have enough to be going on with
11680s they're going to have to be content with
11682s a 79 80 M push through the last phase of
11686s the map the
11690s maybe an odd start there for Falcons
11692s trying to run the Reinhard comp does not
11695s work out but back to kind of like M
11698s Venture based stuff as able to do a nice
11701s job there to get the payLo pretty far
11704s down here towards the end of the map as
11707s I'm curious now what we see from crazy
11709s recruit on offense right playing some of
11711s that Sigma of Max in the game a little
11712s bit of a different hero pool and junin
11715s what do we see them decide to do now on
11716s offense so much of the conversation on
11718s the desk has been about the pace of play
11720s from these teams and I think that was
11722s really exemplified there is it true that
11723s Jaws is scared of the
11725s pigeons somebody said that to me the
11727s other day but I wasn't
11729s honestly I believe it I don't really
11731s know
11733s why that's fine I think again it's his
11735s it's the fish side of him I think he
11737s feels threatened by you know someone
11738s that is above him on the food chain in
11740s theory k e fish they probably would if
11743s they
11744s could I don't know bird eat fish right
11751s ornithologist neither am I surprising
11754s that is that is six years of callback
11756s humor right there if you get it I'll be
11759s very
11760s impressed right that is a vola
11764s Industries line oh buddy we paid it off
11766s though 6 years later paid that one off
11769s no one no's going to get it anyway the
11772s pace of play right the decision's there
11774s from crazy raccoon to to to to spawn
11776s camp and then to pull back
11777s it happen so fast yeah for Falcons this
11780s is something that we actually see
11781s sometimes on circuit right that life
11783s Weaver with the far being able to kind
11785s of keep stalker in the air a little bit
11787s longer than per usual right using kind
11789s of the the pedal as a bit of a launch
11791s pad and new
11793s ground we go I'm going to catch his max
11795s but who's he after exactly well we're
11798s not sure he makes his way though very
11800s deep CH that's so exploitable of course
11803s from that life Weaver to get up to the
11805s high grounder is able to use that to
11807s deal with lip so no City for the
11809s attackers Smurf comes crumling back in
11811s Big Bad bustling ready to do four for
11813s business Max proceedes in though
11815s comfortably handles it nice CS off the
11817s Sleep Falcons are being overrun here
11819s behind the Pointon now can double back
11822s and get the cap yeah they just run
11824s straight through the choke right Max
11826s just runs straight into the corner they
11829s make a play for Chio he's just
11832s completely out of the fight right they
11834s they deal with him and then Falcons has
11835s no choice but to double back is not
11838s worked out for them on defense that is a
11841s fast point they take for crazy Rec yeah
11844s 521 to play
11845s here nice position to be in be lip
11849s though not so much ATT attack in the
11850s last fight prober able to take the task
11853s pretty comfortably stalker now has to
11855s play May a little differently this is a
11857s wide open expans that Li can navigate a
11859s bit more comfortably as a hit scan
11863s yes pip line that you have to play as
11866s far the Falcons trying to like set up
11868s here on The High Ground right see the
11869s bar not really going up high this guy
11872s knows how dangerous it is playing with
11874s round lip on that opposite side of this
11876s wall as maybe now with rocket barrage we
11879s see a combination of like barrage with a
11880s grrip back there it is yeah okay no
11882s kills from that barrage here but enough
11884s to get crazy
11885s disengage didn't force the AL either
11888s comes out B was a little overextended
11890s relative to the rest of his team this is
11892s great for crazy raccoon the the grip
11895s happens so fast there never really like
11897s an opportunity to put down like twoo
11898s Fast large yeah amounts of damage I
11900s think obviously you're always worried
11903s when you're far GES and Rocket bares but
11906s know in the past we've seen them kind of
11907s extend it let stalker's HP go just about
11910s to the Limit and then grip back that
11912s time it's rocket brage instant life grip
11915s and they don't really get anything for
11917s it not even an ultimate forc out this is
11919s pretty disastrous for Falcons this is
11922s going awful fast de I stop here comes
11925s Murphy's on the scene but a sandberry he
11926s means doesn't have to worry giio oh yeah
11929s he's been lined up by heack who gets a
11931s free lift able to avoid him though love
11934s the moves from Gio he brought down by
11935s stalk in the meantime but elsewhere the
11937s sheer weight of numbers is favorite
11939s crazy raccoon they're going to get this
11940s one home it's going to be an absolutely
11943s immense time bank to work with 5 minutes
11946s wow as they are just running through
11950s Falcons at the moment over 5 minutes to
11953s not even complete the map right just 80
11955s M needed here for crazy recruit to take
11959s a lead in the series his Falcon seems
11961s like a little bit of desperation here
11963s right now because you run that comp for
11965s such a long time you're resetting
11967s ultimates on three players across the
11969s board can be very difficult so where's
11971s your stopping power supposed to come
11973s from maybe ultimate think right nothing
11977s to really com but with like that MAA
11979s ultimate though at the moment down the K
11981s fight Smurf is clinging desperately life
11984s very very low here just remov Smurf low
11988s yeah Li going to break through here
11989s crazy raccoon or an avalanche on chat
11994s Mountain okay Chio able to stay b heang
11998s h actually in a bit of trouble mean
12000s you've got to respect it you've got to
12001s respect what Chio can do there Chong not
12003s nearly as fortunate in the Lucio versus
12005s anyone match up it it feels like the
12008s last two always alive for Falcons are
12010s somehow proper in giio as uh they always
12013s make it quite interesting towards the
12015s end so able to pick up a few at least
12017s slow crazy down that's going to allow
12019s Falcons to get back in for another fight
12021s Max got two kills off the back of that
12022s engagement though so Falcons had to
12024s disengage SM charging backwards never a
12026s good sign for B po damage here now sh is
12029s getting ready for rush but in they go
12031s pops up ster now might be getting some
12033s attention they pop their ultimate but
12035s Spurs already down it's a disaster it's
12038s an unmitigated catastrophe for Falcons C
12042s racu snowballing that old advantage that
12044s the Falcons had to keep up by switching
12046s their Compass latest they they did and
12047s now we're on the precipice of a Mac
12049s victory for CR Smur is going to have to
12051s try and charge out here a little
12053s indirect as he tries to avoid some of
12054s the Poke damage and S is going in there
12056s under cover of subterrania it's not
12059s enough it's the watch folks crazy
12061s raccoon up two to
12064s one yeah and I was like maybe Falcons
12066s will make this a little bit interesting
12068s because Cheto ends up getting the beat
12069s there at the end but as he's about to
12071s drop it gets sliced up by heang so it's
12074s interesting I sure it's like watching a
12077s a documentary with the apex predator
12078s just goes to town on his food I was
12081s watching I'm sure the desk was too let's
12082s hear from them on
12084s Mid indeed we were watching that series
12087s for once we get paid to do so but also
12090s we do enjoy some good and that's what
12092s the teams are delivering I'm back here
12094s on the desk with Jake with caurus as
12096s well as Johnny to break it all down for
12098s you I mean crazy Ron running away with
12101s this one and quite frankly on the attack
12103s on the defense there was clear for team
12105s Falcons they just started to throw the
12107s kitchen sink at the floor they they
12109s cooked a little too much that that that
12111s one was burning up we got we got one
12112s attempt we got one attempt with the
12113s rhinard and then it was like oh Jo it's
12115s Jo you all call it the r and then the
12117s life weever made crazy was so ready
12120s though with the anafara that's a very
12122s unique strategy on the defense we
12124s haven't seen that I think on at least on
12125s Midtown they played it on King's Row
12127s previously we're talking about but I
12128s mean the ryin Sim it's it's nice but on
12130s a far just eat you up on those TPS right
12132s the Ryan works really well into that
12134s break B Sigma but I feel like the crazy
12136s racon comp with the Farah and theana
12138s it's just too much poke for the r to sit
12140s on point so they had to push but I feel
12143s like crazy raccoons really had their
12145s number there I think you know the story
12147s of this match has really
12149s been Falcons is trying to avoid the
12151s malamir now after that surasa and crazy
12155s raccoons is happily taken it and you can
12157s see this hean Genji I think is the game
12159s changer for me yeah I mean the big
12161s question heading into this as we were
12163s setting up this match Johnny was can lip
12166s get away with playing cidy surely the
12168s heang Genji has opened that up for him
12170s yeah I mean he was incredibly
12171s comfortable on this codyy if take a look
12173s at the stats as well I mean c raccoon
12175s that were in control that entire series
12177s getting so much value Li on this Cassidy
12179s I mean he's the best hitam player in the
12181s world as well still feeling towards that
12183s gold contention that we've been talking
12184s about the two but like it's so lethal as
12186s well proper playing Tracer in that match
12188s up I feel like lip was really
12189s comfortable there but I feel I agree
12191s with Cur here now if you're crazy
12192s raccoon going through the series we
12194s question can they hang with Falcon MAA
12196s composition here now it's almost like
12198s bring it bring it like let's play more
12200s MAA right because we have the advantage
12201s in this one so now it gets even more
12203s interesting from Falcons like are you
12205s still going to keep playing the MAA or
12207s do you give up and maybe go to other
12208s Maps like we've seen circuit real for
12210s example where May we've seen some other
12211s Sigma compositions being played for me I
12214s think honestly heang Genji is a massive
12216s spanner in the works I think Falcons
12218s came into this match especially looking
12220s that Flex support role with the batist
12221s as their pocket pick in the comp
12223s thinking okay you're going to run kasar
12225s you're going to play so passive and pop
12227s and we're going to get away with a
12228s Baptist just gunning you down from the
12229s backline while my DPS chop up your your
12232s DPS with that Genji Venture but I think
12234s the the swap to Genji just completely
12236s changes the game now there's a hero on
12238s the server that is actively hunting your
12239s batist he's just trying to survive and
12242s then the ult trades so favoring that
12244s KIRO I mean the katsune rush every time
12246s these magas face off under a katsune
12247s rush I mean it's not close the cool down
12249s cycle is so valuable the attack speed is
12251s insane on a on like a malga to malga
12253s brawl the life still is just out of
12255s control and so honestly crazy Rons I
12257s think the Genji pick is just genius
12259s right now I think I think they found the
12260s response Falcons back to the drawing
12262s board casar would you say that this
12264s Genji pick is specifically for team
12266s Falcons is that a result of what we've
12268s seen from team Falcons in the last two
12270s days with their double Flex DPS yeah I'd
12273s say so 100% I think that Baptist like
12275s Jake talked about is so good against the
12277s Farah and the echo which crazy raccoons
12279s like to pull out but now he TS come out
12281s on the Genji he's completely shutting
12283s that down forcing air and the big thing
12285s for me is Falcons don't seem comfortable
12288s right now they're putting proper on this
12289s Tracer in the malamir I don't think the
12291s Tracer keeps up the tempo that the Genji
12293s can bring and the cassid is not roaming
12295s free so I think Falcons really need to
12299s pick like more Comfort maps and they
12301s need to make sure that they can bring
12303s the brawl to lip instead of lip bro so
12305s free yeah so how can they avoid where
12308s should we take it in order to not have
12311s lip just firing in a shooting range yeah
12313s I mean that that's the problem right
12315s because even if you go to Circuit real
12316s for example which you know even if we do
12318s see some kind of like alternate
12319s compositions coming out which is not the
12321s MAA I mean I'd love to see a lip versus
12323s you know proper kind of like Widowmaker
12324s duel but you know TBD on if that's going
12326s to happen I think it's an interesting
12328s question I feel like if you go to a map
12329s like maybe like Route 66 like you'll
12331s probably see more of this stuff right I
12332s don't think we're going to see much
12334s different so um when it comes to the
12336s escort Maps you know Gibralter again I
12339s feel like czy raccoon is the favorite in
12340s this one maybe you save things up going
12342s to Circuit real I feel like it's really
12343s tough for Falcons like they're really on
12345s the back foot and I don't think there's
12346s an obvious answer here like what is your
12347s next choice it has to be a choice
12349s between jalter and Circ Royale I think
12352s they can't force that malamir anymore I
12354s think they need to go back to the
12355s drawing board and figure out how to play
12357s that better I think now they can really
12359s bring Falcons or bring crazy raccoons
12361s out of their game pick a map where they
12363s don't have to malamir which I think both
12366s jabala and circle Royale are great picks
12368s for that I think they've got to drop the
12370s back wherever they go I would have
12371s thought going into the series it would
12372s have been great but I think the Genji is
12374s the perfect response I don't think Bap
12376s Works in the Genji the tempo is just not
12378s there when the Genji is constantly
12380s attacking you're you're peeling back to
12382s defend so I think that'll be a real
12384s challenge uh as we do go to new Queen
12385s Street so both teams disrespecting the
12387s escort pool feeling like they can win it
12389s new Queen Street I what I want to see
12391s most of all though is I want to see
12393s actually a match of ker Fielder rather
12395s on the KIRO I think you've got to take
12396s the KIRO mirror at least as long as the
12398s Genji's in the server the B's not
12400s working yeah cures you shrugged when you
12402s saw the pig what what's your reaction to
12404s new Queen stre I I think you know both
12406s teams are are shrugging off the escort
12408s in the whole tournament and even in the
12410s Asia like playoffs we've seen teams pick
12412s escort first because that's the most
12414s varied mapol so I think maybe both these
12416s teams know like what the enemy team's
12418s going to pick for escort and they're
12419s ready for it so they're both playing
12421s chicken like oh you pick escort you pick
12423s escort nobody's picking escort but this
12426s means that you know Falcons must have
12429s something cooking up on new Queen Street
12431s and I can't help but feel like push
12433s that's like Lucio Kingdom that's where
12435s the MGA comp is at its
12437s best well I'm excited for this one not
12440s as confident about our uh predictions
12443s there anymore we also have a sub coming
12445s in so we should be uh getting
12448s confirmation okay yeah Max is out
12449s jumping in what does that tell you Jake
12451s I mean I don't think strategically this
12453s is going to be a huge shift for the
12454s teams I think it's about comfort about
12455s map Pool um in the end I think we are
12457s going to continue to see more of the
12459s malga at least out of crazy raccoon I
12461s think it's going to take Falcons finding
12462s an answer to force a change and to be
12464s honest I think based on how the series
12465s has gone so far I think they're they're
12467s going to play with a ton of confidence
12468s and a ton of tempo so far Falcons has
12470s been completely unable to to set the
12473s pace to get on top of lip that was their
12475s game plan going into the series get on
12477s top of this backline and be the ones
12478s taking the tempo junin has been hugely
12481s gapping on that front Smurf has not been
12482s able to find the same level of
12484s aggression as a unit they're not they're
12486s not able to lead the game going into new
12488s Queen Street here you know we talked a
12489s little bit about proper sticking on that
12491s tracer on Midtown for example but maybe
12493s they didn't get the room really there to
12494s be enabled going into this map as well
12497s do you think that maybe they're trying
12498s to force a bit of a tracer duel here or
12500s do you think that c raccoon they don't
12501s care they're just going to stick to what
12502s they already played I feel like with the
12504s malgar comp the Tracer is so weak so if
12506s they want to play the Tracer they have
12508s to play a different composition I think
12510s this map they're really trying to force
12512s it because they're scared of the other
12514s two push Maps right they really want to
12516s go to this map so they don't have to
12517s mgram here so it's really up to Falcons
12520s now to find an answer to this to this
12522s magga composition from crazy raccoon
12523s that looks so deadly it's a great Tracer
12525s map but I'm not sure even proper can
12527s make the Tracer work in the combat I
12528s agree I think it's just the tempo's not
12530s there the aggression the consistency you
12532s can't stay in on top of the cast W well
12534s we're about to find out new Queen new
12536s Queen Street is coming up and we have a
12538s match point for crazy raccoon let see
12540s you can close it
12541s out ever since Oasis Falcons have slowly
12546s lost their grip on this series map by
12548s map now backed into a corner new Queen
12552s Street is that the Silver Bullet that
12554s gets them out I I know I kind of agree
12557s with the desk in that I think the the
12559s Baptist is just a really easy target for
12563s that Genji in that situation that I
12565s think if you're going to go go go it's
12566s probably uh the wise move now to put
12569s Fielder on like a g in that uh instant
12572s so we'll see what going to new Queen
12575s Street does uh for Falcons is uh it
12578s seems like both teams uh probably have a
12581s good idea of where escort would go maybe
12584s it's a strength for both teams no no
12586s body wants to pick it uh I also think
12588s nobody probably know for Falcons right
12590s you probably wouldn't want to see like a
12592s coloso or esparon so give yourself a
12596s chance here on new Queen
12598s sh well it work for them pretty well on
12600s uh you know Oasis we were definitely
12602s impressed by how they were able to get
12603s value out of this malga composition but
12605s since then we've seen the mirror craon
12607s more than happy to throw down even with
12610s this Venture comp which has been really
12612s good they've still been losing here to
12615s this C Genji match up the Baptist again
12620s yeah and and I think it's also like shu
12621s is able to have a little bit more I know
12623s personal survivability whatnot on the
12625s Freo right you can you know Swift step
12627s out of the way you can play in the
12628s backline with that Genji and theb not
12631s easy target for the MAA in adventure J
12635s gets flattened there though C proper
12637s boot back briefly immediately dashes
12639s forward he knows that the timing the F
12642s trying to play
12643s off pretty shocking to see such a big
12645s Health pull up like disappear in a
12647s second like that but that's what this
12649s composition can do te can start the lead
12652s yeah I mean John bit dead before fight
12655s even really end just kind of like Steps
12657s up maybe did not expect all that burst
12659s damage to come on down nothing you could
12662s do without your MAA right it just
12664s obviously the tank super important but
12666s cardia overdrive important cool down MAA
12669s doesn't have as much you know damage
12671s mitigation cool Downs other tanks it's
12672s really healing than he need in his time
12675s he's not being given any I it looks like
12676s j's got half the health do not of Smurf
12679s it's like a it's like a dupes malga you
12682s know yeah yeah little Dollar Store malga
12684s Mar at home action you know yeah Ma has
12686s two hearts he look like the single heart
12688s verion of ma there there he needs to
12691s complete some more dungeons give them
12692s half piece you know what I'm saying
12694s throwing up on The High Ground now he is
12695s the just going up awfully early my
12697s goodness SP are hitting hard and hitting
12699s fast wants to back up a little bit here
12701s as he gets ahead of the a matrix but in
12703s we come once more spur looks to reassume
12706s the position as stalker wants to play
12708s back behind him as crazy raccoon half
12709s that later sound barrier stop comes in
12712s but look how low Falcons are the blade
12713s from heang hoping to punctuate this and
12716s he's gotten CER raccoon out of the
12717s submission hole Yeah Falcons tried to uh
12721s back up there but not able to disengage
12723s as then the blade comes out from
12726s Kang Kang has had a huge Series in my
12729s opion know on the Genji just been so
12732s instrumental in their success is H this
12735s will get the bot moving here
12737s for CR is the bad part here for crazy
12740s racons is proper got a blade and you
12742s have no sound
12744s bar yeah you just going to have to grit
12746s your teeth and find a way to fight
12747s through this it's crazy
12750s raccoon Falcons reaching a peak in
12752s Ultimate
12754s charge no real reason for him to lose
12756s this fight but I've said that before in
12758s this series he will be contending with
12759s the Dead Eye from here no support
12762s ultimates to after that either in czy
12764s Rec they don't want to like exactly just
12766s kind of pushing here around the corner
12767s this is a great spot for the venture to
12770s fight as the L even with that dead eye
12772s is killed instantly you saw they were
12774s like playing on top you know uh of the
12776s Boston there whatnot maybe trying to get
12779s off of the bot a little bit and I think
12781s it it becomes a little bit of a scary
12782s situation for Falcons because like okay
12784s you just kind of poke there at a
12786s distance they build up beat like what
12787s happens with the blade don't even need
12789s to use the blade there to win it finally
12790s crazy Ron decides to engage in that
12793s fight with the Dead Eye to open things
12794s up and it's not worked out only had to
12797s use their Venture ultimate yeah to win
12799s that
12800s convincingly not a great sign racu again
12803s on the back foot for real and literally
12807s trying to get away from this one SP
12808s turns Taylor rman now he's going to have
12810s to stand his ground and fight cage fight
12812s thrown down D has it removed but Spurs
12814s is still in play with morality kill to
12816s back it up Falcons have to find
12817s something here and they do drer
12819s eventually bicep slick with that Dragon
12821s Blade and the clean up in quality je
12824s will have to hold on to that J for a
12826s later
12828s dat so interesting we talked about like
12830s oh do you have to drop the B te we
12832s thought that like okay probably do right
12835s Nice Shot there from proper
12838s toward not know how to go
12841s back kind of hard uh but they have made
12845s this work here at least so far here on
12847s new Queen Street he's not been able to
12850s get as much uh pressure onto the
12853s backline as we seen in the last few Maps
12855s he's in the back line right now he was
12857s behind Falcon KNE comes with the blade
12860s 30 morality K did not last long at all
12861s Jon being able to pick that up instantly
12864s so once again the Newton cradle swings
12867s back but crazy raccoon find themselves
12869s without that checkpoint they need to get
12870s butt scratch status going here they'll
12872s have dead eyee speed boost kind of like
12874s Dead Eye around the corner they tried
12875s that the last time right but the
12876s pressure was so fast from Falcons in
12879s their
12880s face soccer will get close to this
12883s V barricades on the moon check point
12886s would be huge here has a fairly safe
12888s spot here Dead Eye pper deflecting and
12892s he gets out nothing off that dead eye
12894s but some room for crazy raccoon to
12896s breathe that's fine no other ultimates
12898s to play off of stalker has that ultimate
12901s here it is kak over dries GA
12904s Dives Periscope up TK are back in
12908s control here now and Matrix buil and I
12910s think it's the same type of thing I was
12912s talking about before I don't think ceron
12913s exactly wants to to take this fight
12915s around corner it's a good spot for the
12917s venture to fight in so they will back up
12920s try and fight from the spot where maybe
12922s you can get BL set up on some of that
12923s High Ground
12925s coming go back up here takes a bit to
12927s poke Li definitely threatening to the
12930s Venture at these kind of ranges CER set
12933s up in a position to try and get their
12934s CID online here's another blade they're
12936s back away there a hindrance there for
12938s probab but both mostly shrugs it off now
12940s as the blade goes to work Li with one
12941s and Shu gets
12943s caught have a two for one deal
12947s Falcons again in control the B is headed
12950s back to parody yeah Adventure does a
12953s great job of of accessing the back B
12956s right uh but they don't really have a
12958s great way of kind of using the vertical
12960s to get off so that's kind of why they're
12962s playing around that area they just
12964s trying to force it like where the Genji
12966s can get to that High Ground The Venture
12968s really can't so once they kind of uh get
12971s crazy Recon to come around the corner
12972s and not force them to push in and fight
12974s with that High Ground that's where the
12976s Venture comp has a little bit of an
12978s advantage j chose to use cardiac
12980s overdrive while he was being stacker so
12982s that got drawn out a little bit longer
12984s that maybe he would have
12985s liked trying to threaten falc you know
12988s just get in the elimination we go Su
12990s already used the start of the fight here
12991s he's saying again wants to punish the B
12993s te Chon got kill the first
12995s though all right crazy raccoon get back
12998s in the game once more with 3 minutes 30
13000s on the clock they're behind by about 20
13002s M so they need to win the next fight
13004s maybe the next two I feel like each
13006s fight is basically just like a replay
13008s it's like we kind of go back and forth
13010s with the same type of uh yeah flow on
13013s both sides of things so you have to have
13015s uh CR go back es lit back into the fight
13019s so okay this might be a little bit
13020s different here jumping has so careful
13022s gets extremely low C who never give up
13024s on this round they just gained from
13025s winning the fight man all of a sudden
13028s they're no better off than they were
13029s before yeah they lost lip so they have
13031s to go back up get Li scort him all the
13033s way back to the rest of the team kind of
13035s slows things down comes down the steps
13037s no C to stri any fear f and he gets
13039s extremely low they have to back out
13041s here's the rush cage match though thrown
13043s up and we see two dive on into it play
13045s now from proper where is his Target
13047s immortality field from field or is gone
13049s but it's done his job f is still
13050s standing tool it's Li Smurf traded out
13053s 44 is he saying no shut Fielder down it
13056s doesn't gold wall for Falcons in a
13057s longer fight CER raccoon finally two in
13060s a row one and what a defle from he
13064s s together a v
13068s and this is a huge opportunity here for
13071s se he SS got this blade nothing on the
13074s other side you at least need checkpoint
13076s out of this yes and again the back cap
13079s there from stalker me it crazy racun
13081s about 5 10 seconds behind that so two
13084s fights again oh wow flanking a here from
13087s stalker audacious up WEP he s says Ah
13091s that was a base that morality field I'm
13092s going to ignore it just get fielded with
13095s the blade that's probably enough here
13097s play a raccoon again maybe a third
13099s consecutive fight win on the docket they
13100s might have a way back into this game
13102s this could mean checkpoint
13104s folks you might I mean you're going to
13106s lose here the MAA light so keep an eye
13109s on when these players come up off of
13111s Spawn is and we're down below 2 minutes
13113s not a ton of time if Falcons gives up a
13115s lead to battle back into it
13118s so yeah there's going to be a stopage
13120s here right know for that checkpoint so
13122s you're going to gain some time here for
13123s Falcons to regroup and come around this
13124s corner let them Falcons lost the last
13126s three fights in a row they've got to get
13128s back in the game Dead ey lip sees
13130s Fielder doesn't pull the trigger though
13132s oh it's so confusing he gets the air
13134s Matrix though spur going to be the first
13135s to fall this malous Falcons that have to
13138s make their way from here stalk is done a
13141s great job getting rid of both TPS though
13142s there might be enough but I mean tankes
13144s are strong in this game the fact that
13145s crazy raccoon have one means that they
13147s are far from done back to their
13149s advantage now stalker a little bit low
13151s Jun been feeling a little Lonesome in
13153s this position has to turn tail or inside
13156s of a they're going to try and St out
13158s cage fight even used by J here he turns
13160s it into a kill onio here come the
13162s reinforcements but J is low Smurf though
13165s doesn't get away with this it's up to
13167s pandemonium it's crazy raccoon want to
13169s keep pushing up they're still behind but
13172s it's quite big that proper actually
13173s takes the bot takes it in the other
13175s direction kills both supports doesn't go
13177s chase the MAA takes the bot back towards
13179s that mid map it actually buys Falcons a
13181s lot of time to come back into the fight
13183s with a lot of good ultimate push little
13185s further double s the sound barrier to
13187s answer the blade for Chong is Paramount
13190s but even after that there's plenty more
13192s for Falcons that's
13194s available Falcons want that map five
13196s they want to decide it
13199s here Smurf's going to push up now ster
13201s pop the ultimate immediately takes some
13202s P from the Genji but not too bothered
13204s still damage on he say it's going to be
13206s a sound bar now that comes out prop is
13207s holding on the blade that we still have
13208s that available and he pulls it late
13210s here's the C fight in we go proper see
13213s shoot low descends upon his prey di bomb
13216s into crazy raccoon and team Falcons have
13219s secured another map for themselves this
13222s one is going all the
13225s way
13231s Victory as Falcons pulls it out in the
13234s end here to give us a game five we were
13238s talking like oh fi you have to drop this
13240s Bap te the BS not looking great they
13243s continue to run it even with e Genji on
13245s the other
13247s side now I think I think this will be
13249s kind of like a a really interesting
13251s moment why we've all been wondering like
13253s okay you typically we've seen hybrid
13254s escort first two things picked it kind
13257s of comes now all the way down to the end
13258s it's like okay what why are we not
13260s seeing escort what are we going to see
13262s here from crazy
13264s raccoon all right I I can't wait to hear
13267s some conjecture some guess work here
13268s from the desk there's a lot to talk
13269s about our new Queen Street let's head
13271s over to our panel to catch us up on what
13273s we just witnessed which was a mess
13280s it's an analyis it's a panel panel of
13282s experts I know it's yeah yeah it makes
13285s me feel like more of an expert I I do
13287s dig it uh heading into this match Jay
13290s you were uh concerned about the batist
13292s you also touched on it that this might
13295s be an issue here you'd rather see the
13297s KIRO Fielder did stick to that baptisto
13300s and that made it work really well yeah I
13302s mean I think new Queen Street maybe
13304s that's the reason for the map selection
13305s is those so many juking paths for batist
13307s he has all these little Ledges he can
13309s hop up to hop down and while Genji can
13311s follow you I think having a little bit
13312s more range like compared to surasa at
13314s least so much easier to fall back and
13316s yet still be effective and still heal
13318s your team also feel the team fight
13319s execution proper Genji was on fire on
13322s new Queen Street the combos with Smurf
13324s as well with that cage fight so
13326s incredibly well executed they're able to
13328s hold it down but that was a very close
13330s map I mean he's saying still battling
13331s back on the Genji this is a serious dog
13334s fight when it comes to the Genji Mir and
13335s that's another small adaptation we're
13336s seeing throughout the series well okay
13338s the Trac didn't work out for us we're
13339s going to swap over to andir this Genji
13342s as well and I mean it's really worked
13343s out Genji has been the pivotal hero in
13345s this series because I mean heang has had
13347s tremendous impact on the Genji as well
13349s every time heang pulls the Dragon Blade
13351s he's targeting Fielder and for most of
13353s that most of that map I felt like heang
13356s got the better off Fielder every time he
13357s pulled out that Dragon bit but when
13359s Falcons is playing with the lead they're
13361s able to utilize those corners and really
13363s Force PR raccoon to push into you push
13365s into fielders line of sight and really
13367s create some distance as well because if
13369s lip is playing on the Cassidy I mean
13370s there's so much room between the Cassidy
13373s and the ba so Fielder he's pretty
13375s comfortable playing those long Sidelines
13377s it was such a close game though I mean
13378s look at those stats this was really just
13380s one team fight a away to go the other
13383s side yeah 100% And I feel like a big
13385s change here is on serasa in the malm
13387s here Fons look quite sloppy they had
13389s some deaths here and there their old
13391s combos were on point I feel like on this
13393s map their old value was so so incredible
13396s like their cage fights their blades
13398s every time they found value and even
13400s though I think the Baptist window is a
13402s lot worse than the KIRO all I think they
13404s made it work I think they threw down a
13406s variable and with you know their Tempo
13409s being a lot higher than they showed on
13411s suras and being able to take the fight
13413s to the crazy raccoons they looked a lot
13415s better they did indeed and Matt touched
13417s on it as they were wrapping up the cast
13419s this also means that we're now at 22
13421s score we're going to an escort M five
13424s which we've not done thus far uh very
13427s interesting I think we would have
13429s expected to see escort coming up a lot
13431s sooner now of course the big question is
13433s which escort map will be uh will they be
13436s taking us to I mean you have such a huge
13438s decision ahead of you as crazy raccoon
13440s right now there's such Variety in the
13442s escort map pick pool it's the reason we
13443s see this map pick almost always come out
13446s first after control in the series you
13448s could go to jalter and just throw a huge
13450s wrench into the series force a potential
13452s Winston dive comp who knows how that
13454s would go if you want to play if you want
13456s to play the MAA composition I mean it
13458s would make a lot of sense if you took it
13460s to Route 66 here I feel like right
13463s because if you're going to Gibralter if
13464s you're going to Circuit Royale I mean a
13466s lot of these okay I'm sorry I'm just
13468s joking I mean I yeah I've literally seen
13470s it on the monitor over there mat Matt
13472s Matt did a Matt did Big sixes at me so
13475s I'm just I'm just sorry trying trying to
13477s sound smart here but yes we are going to
13480s Route 66 uh actually so I mean what's
13482s your gut reaction to that caurus knowing
13484s that we're going to Route 66 what do you
13485s think it means for the series I feel
13487s like Route 66 is like the map where you
13489s can blade dive and you can play malga so
13492s I wonder if jumin's going to pull out
13493s like a Winston or if they're going to go
13495s hard for that you really think you can
13496s match the Winston into into the MAA
13498s compositions we see I feel like root
13499s second point and first point has like
13501s quite strong High Ground so historically
13503s it's been more of a MAA map but like I
13508s feel like if you're the crazy raccoons
13510s if you want to take another mamir you go
13512s Havana if you want to take a Sig Mir you
13514s go to Circ Royale if you want to take a
13516s dive miror you go to jalter so I'm not
13518s sure like why they're picking Route 66 I
13521s think they want to force a dive into MAA
13525s like matchup and I think they're quite
13527s confident on this map at that I'm I'm a
13529s little worried now for Fielder because
13530s new Queen Street Fielder navigated the
13532s map so well 66 very accessible for a
13535s Genji to get on top of you lot of sharp
13536s corners on the map it's going to be a
13538s really tough test for the flex support
13539s of Falcons that's right we're getting
13541s ready for our last map of the series 22
13544s discore one of the teams will be moving
13547s on to the Grand Final and the other one
13549s will be dropping down to the lower
13550s bracket to fight for their
13553s lives regardless of the result on Route
13556s 66 one thing is for sure this Series has
13561s delivered of two very best teams from
13564s the APAC region arguably are two very
13566s best teams in the world right now
13568s leaving it all out there to decide who
13571s advances to the Grand Final with that
13574s Advantage from the upper bracket yeah
13576s brout 66 offers uh a lot of options in
13581s terms of you know what you decide to
13583s play right you can play MAA based
13585s compositions uh you can play Dive Right
13587s a lot of verticality throughout the map
13590s uh opportunity for like hit scan right
13592s really long sight lines uh pretty decent
13595s for Genji so I think for crazy recruit
13598s it gives you a lot of different options
13599s right if this isn't working do this you
13601s know uh a few different flux uh
13604s positions to be in there this is
13606s interesting for Falcons right so coming
13608s out on this composition that we talked
13610s you know endlessly about I feel like
13612s throughout this week uh do you play you
13615s probably don't play this yeah you're
13616s going to have to you're not going to
13618s play Venture Genji from Big Earls and
13620s kind of stand there uh that would uh
13623s that would probably be some like plat
13625s level stuff you're going to see the push
13626s up right to uh the cart and make this as
13629s close quarter of a game as possible uh
13632s then potentially you see them you know
13635s either either switch or you're going to
13636s see consistent fights on the payload we
13639s are moment away from jumping into the
13640s last map of the most exciting match of
13642s this o WCS major crazy
13646s raccoon get brought all the way here to
13649s Route 66 and jman thought about the ball
13651s for a moment here's malga miror with the
13654s Cassidy point of difference and she on a
13656s KIRO yeah I mean a little bit longer s
13658s lines here on uh to play some City
13662s so see if they can uh make this work
13665s boom but like look at this I mean
13666s Fielder can play a distance here on the
13668s back not not a terrible spot to be in as
13670s well buer up top has to regen first but
13674s it takes a while there's a there's a
13676s flat healing opponent and then healing
13678s over time and the ladder just didn't
13679s come quickly enough nice little spawn K
13682s here from Falcons J is surrounded and
13684s has to turn tail I mean they give up
13686s Fielder so proper can turn around and
13688s kill Chong and he
13691s so finish jumping as well so you're not
13694s going to be able to back on as stalker
13696s gets quite low as it is turned into TDM
13699s here on the T but that's to be expected
13701s here with how close Falcons was play you
13703s see this so often with the spawn camps
13705s that both these teams are tied to put
13706s together gets a little messy sometimes
13710s both of these squads very good at
13711s finding opportunities to turn the tides
13713s in their favor either way Falcons will
13715s have to back up here to the top big ears
13717s with two players coming back in giio
13719s getting stalker ready to throw down once
13722s more Falcons will
13726s just a little bitat yeah they're bu
13728s they're building up these support well
13729s you did lose Chong right away and Chio
13731s was the only support alive there for
13733s Falcons for a while lip though find
13735s proper first that might make up the lack
13736s of sberry the Falcons don't want to make
13738s you sof here greater
13740s raccoon blow them to SP the RS the one
13743s thing interesting about sticking with
13745s the Baptist as well here for Falcons is
13747s I know curus mentioned like the the rush
13750s is so strong in terms of an ultimate you
13752s see you pay off there like there's not
13754s really like Tong the value you're
13755s getting out of the an Matrix right in
13757s terms of I know damage with what geni a
13762s not exactly spite you want those heroes
13764s in dead ey here trying to walk the
13767s payload on him holding it knew there was
13769s a deflect coming here comes the play
13771s from heang in from above pressure again
13773s mount on field but Chio is there with
13775s the sound barrier and stalker Pops upang
13778s Pops out R raccoon now bundled back in
13780s the direction of their spawn to await he
13782s sank to rejoin them
13786s Chong holds on to that blade because
13788s they know that this is a combination
13790s that Falon is trying to put together
13792s cage by blade combination they so good
13795s at it a lot of time off the clock time
13798s is very short that's 2 and a half
13800s minutes already off the back of a nice
13801s spawn Camp from Falcons now they have
13803s big ultimates to leverage but not a beat
13806s that's Chong's job here they're out of s
13809s these Li ultimates for now so further
13811s forward the payload inches lip still
13814s playing from a very comfortable po back
13815s there Sho flanking him you're you're
13817s okay here if your Falcon letting this
13819s clock even dwindle down some more T SP
13822s used stalker makes the
13825s earthshake up we go pops up now looking
13827s to try and Chase lip down drill Rush
13831s that is a kill completed this is
13833s dangerous territory for your number one
13835s seed from apack and I think I think
13837s crazy you need to take this fight a
13839s little bit earlier I would say uh cuz
13842s you're going to allow Falcons to build
13843s up these support ultimates and you just
13844s kind of around that corner of P drawing
13847s at least not using beat in that lost
13849s fight no CH to really blown up by the
13852s Venture here they come once more great
13854s recu it's going to be any time it has to
13856s be now he's going to a blade though from
13857s proper oh he scuttled their PL already
13860s Li is down trapped inside the cage
13862s matches proper but he's in a safe spot
13863s Smurf is removed now the four versus
13865s four CH under a little bit of pressure
13866s and J been charging towards Big Girls
13868s and Tack a to pick up that Mega from
13871s above comes ster drops back down he
13873s takes not of and has to back away from
13874s the stalker back to safy with prop his
13876s Lo he waits patiently can't complete the
13879s kill but crazy raccoon have that first
13881s checkpoint 230 on the clock and that
13884s Boop comes through there and knock
13885s stalker off fores stalker was trying to
13888s get to get a touch who would have had
13889s the supports back in the mix is Chio so
13891s close to the beat so massive play there
13894s from Chong knocking stalker out of the
13897s way at least getting crazy Ru their
13899s first
13900s checkpoint now want to push up this
13902s second phase of the map of course again
13905s will find for mag to play from ceron
13907s want Bal to come to
13909s them give them an advantageous
13911s positioning allow them to be reative BL
13914s for he no more like a proactive approach
13916s for the attackers again pressure on
13918s Fielder he can't hang it's tough for the
13921s B out there it's brutal Smurf able to do
13923s some good work from the low ground
13924s though as the Defenders could surge back
13926s into a dominant
13928s position that TI Smurf gets some value
13931s out of the M Matrix Fielder kind of
13932s drops it to just maybe deter them from
13934s pushing on in in right sound bar used
13936s there as well for
13939s Falcons 0 seconds again mat yeah I bet
13941s you do have this kumate Rush The Rush is
13943s so good for crazy RAC to be able to get
13947s some of these fights especially with
13948s liit playing inside of
13950s it been very impactful CH knows though
13953s he needs to get into a fight win here it
13955s is the rush going to be thrown out but
13956s Smurf hits into the back line and creat
13958s a raccoon stalker Airborne throws some
13960s of those harpoons down but his CR is
13961s picked up by lip the attack is here with
13963s a certain momentum the team back to
13965s holding the ground and they've got
13966s ultimates to play with heang is removed
13968s fi of the hit SC pressure takes care of
13970s the Genji now it's even sh with the
13972s kunite will force toio to turn tail once
13975s more and a stagger now on
13978s Fielder he just gets on gets uh gets
13981s himself eliminated there as Falcons
13982s still have another opportunity here but
13985s Halo will get very close to that second
13988s checkpoint crazy they hold on that sound
13990s bar sound bar cage fight here for crazy
13994s you also have this dead you can just try
13995s and walk it in here with Li's ultimate
13998s here we go V right into the cage Dead
14000s Eye from afar Li is protected by the
14002s cage matches I love that from Smurf
14004s throw it up to break up the Dead Eye if
14006s you possibly can field is gone yet again
14008s trer raccoon down two players cage is
14010s now been removed and here the blade for
14012s prop but the Defenders are coming alive
14015s what a time to do it crazy racon on
14017s their last legs no ultimates to work
14019s with he maybe can build something that's
14021s it and now is a Beat from Chong so it's
14023s going to be lip switching over to the
14024s racer just to try and get back get a
14027s touch junin here as well you can keep
14029s this alive a little bit longer maybe he
14031s get the blade but sound barrier for Chio
14033s and Falcon yeah that's going to be the
14035s back breaker surely into the saloon let
14037s go Chio knows he needs a good beat here
14039s he's going to get involved in the fight
14040s Dash from he sank straight into the
14041s lineup and Falcons now have the players
14043s to work with it is over Chong the first
14047s and fall but crazy Raca like Domino and
14049s Falcons take flight directly into our
14052s grand finals
14058s compl score how do you come back from
14061s that that's not enough
14063s push yeah I mean that it's going to be
14065s uh tough potentially here for crazy
14069s recruiting to get a hold here on defense
14071s so the the one positive for CR is that
14075s that we talked a little bit about new
14076s Que Street right where the Venture they
14078s can't exactly access The High Ground as
14080s easy as Genji right so uh getting on top
14084s of big ears is especially if lip is
14085s going to end up playing that Cassidy
14087s right uh how do you access that with
14090s that ease it'll be a little bit harder
14092s as I know you wonder right right CR
14095s probably plays a closeup hold but then
14097s gets more fights around that gas station
14099s yeah you've got to buy some time in the
14100s big spawn Camp here that's going to be
14103s crucial Pal's not getting to that last
14106s phase of the map though I rather crazy
14108s raccoon should I
14109s say it's going to hurt them but again
14112s Route 66 is that kind of game we've seen
14114s holds on first
14116s especially if you can put a real strong
14118s strong showing straight outside that
14119s spawn door how many times will crazy
14121s raccoon down to 30 seconds before
14123s getting that checkpoint and with some of
14124s that High Ground now and access to it
14127s here on the defensive side of things and
14129s playing around Le even more you're
14131s actually seeing them play the Baptist so
14133s Shu has been playing the kuo for a lot
14135s we've been talking about how he likeed
14136s that look know ksun Rush obviously great
14139s the M Matrix actually makes a little bit
14140s more sense for C because of the city but
14143s that immortality right if they're going
14145s to go to The High Ground and try and
14146s make a play where that cacity make it uh
14150s very difficult and costly in terms of
14153s overall HP P to take out that
14155s character no change to Crazy raccoon sh
14158s a Baptist though I guess point of
14162s difference a matrix can be feast or
14164s famine at
14165s times and and they don't play close so c
14168s Rec they don't play close they play this
14170s CID up on that high ground and now let's
14173s see how they attack it with that Ure
14175s based composition you feels like you're
14176s going to have to like rotate all the way
14177s around potentially you know try and get
14179s an angle on the back side of big ears as
14182s you see you're going to be walking
14183s straight up there and and just going
14185s right into what Ma Ma cassid back not
14189s exactly the three you want to see oh
14191s straight upstairs goes Smurf forc back
14193s instantly Li been getting a ton of
14195s damage in amongst this fight or a de I
14197s buil on V probably of safe positioning
14200s that poke down oh that's value G
14204s knowwhere to go is hoping to try and
14205s maybe boot lit further back up on top a
14208s good stop here for crazy raccoon and
14210s without having to take the risk of a
14212s close spawn camp this is big as proper W
14216s end up jumping off the side there so
14219s Falcons does get a good amount of
14220s payload progress here right uh they they
14222s get around the corner they almost uh you
14224s know remember when teams used to go like
14226s almost like hide under big girls not
14228s take damage and then push up through it
14230s so look at this though jump is pushed up
14233s trying to make a little bit scary now
14234s now moves all the way back is the fight
14237s there so much damage that takes place
14239s you know both juming for
14241s position somehow gets back out of the
14243s immortality field able to buy enough
14245s time Fielder though again picked off
14247s always that Target sh a problem from
14249s across the map TT that back P sound bar
14251s for crazy raccoon even with four players
14253s they want to try and hold their ground
14254s and it's a lat to beat at that proper
14256s trying to get through it eventually this
14258s Jun into
14259s defa heang has a play but jeez he can't
14262s make use of it here it's just stagger
14263s it's just stall CER will be happy with
14266s what they can get
14268s here with Chon the last one to die here
14271s I wonder if you're going to be able to
14272s get him back up to get the speed to get
14274s everybody back in play so heang in
14277s position we have jump in here as well
14279s looks like we're going to get a contest
14281s straight out we go Wast no time T is
14284s able to get outside of the C match but
14286s heang now looks to make use of how club
14288s together everyone it's going a
14290s kunai that is unbelievable
14295s crazy raccoon had something there you
14298s think H could have shut it down those
14300s beautiful stuff from
14303s Fielder they've been saying hey fer
14305s maybe has to switch over to the G to
14307s pulse it out at the right time there as
14310s Shu does as well so Baptist gone from
14313s both sides of
14315s things now the game right in front of
14318s FAL right the grand finals right
14321s there 3 minutes 30 so much ATT to work
14324s with so much of this cave off their St
14326s defense in this phase of the map but
14328s they still need to land the plane GI
14331s about to say look at the beat difference
14333s right again they're out of they're out
14334s of face once more we're going to push
14337s into this face raccoon they want to take
14339s this fight bit of sag here is going to
14341s be massive for the defensive effort but
14342s he's s ooh dear little overheat and here
14346s comes sh up a spawn right so now you
14348s think you have an advantage now it's
14350s completely flipped especially probably
14352s going to get around this next Corner put
14354s yourself in a really difficult position
14355s he's going to go over of the far
14358s here proper dies in okay mad grenade
14360s hitting deep climbing a little bit too
14362s early to stop the dead ey now it's scary
14364s but they bring lift down it's so close
14367s Victory it's within stking distance for
14369s crazy
14370s raccoon how
14372s with with all of them down team Falcons
14376s here it's going to be impossible to stop
14378s them you might be able to rush out you
14380s might be to keep it going but 230 on the
14383s clock still for team to work
14386s with even if they don't get it here you
14388s have to feel like it's inexurable they
14391s back up a little bit C run allowed to
14392s come in and defend yeah Fielder's on the
14395s way back so Fielder was considering
14396s coming back maybe on the bat switch back
14399s to the kuo is H taking a little bit of
14400s an off angle here you probably have a
14403s good idea for Falcons that there's a
14405s sound barrier on the other side it'll be
14407s the Venture ultimate to kick things off
14409s okay defensive sound barrier available
14411s though crazy raccoon have to leave it
14413s all out there 2 minutes left for Falcons
14415s plenty of time still here's that beat
14417s prop up with the blade is going to come
14418s a little bit later and here we go
14419s swinging M grenade makes it hard from
14421s the charge on him but eventually shrugs
14422s it off it's lip dealing with Smurf first
14424s though attacking Mal remov but it
14426s doesn't seem to matter Shu and lip both
14429s down Falcons with the
14431s numbers Falcons With the Wind under
14433s their wings and these birds of prey move
14436s one notch up the food
14438s chain it's Grand finals time for your
14441s Falcons
14450s [Applause]
14453s just see it's a a combination of just uh
14457s all the emotions here for Falcons is
14460s they finally get over the hump right you
14462s know everybody talking about coming in
14465s as the favorite but as soon as you saw
14466s Falcons start to play at this event
14469s seemed like they had a a different feel
14471s about them right the composition that
14473s they've been playing felt like it might
14475s just be a touch better than everybody
14477s else and at least in this series right
14479s potentially we see it again later today
14482s in the grand finals Falcons Just a Touch
14485s better than crazy raccoon it was so back
14487s and forth but the time is right for this
14489s Falcons roster they are peing at the
14492s correct Point here at your owcs Dallas
14497s major and we've talked about it coming
14499s into the Grand Final as that top seat
14501s not to mention the fact that you don't
14502s have to play that extra game but getting
14504s your choice of map to kick things off
14505s it's a big Advantage starting on the
14507s front foot there will be massive and
14508s there's a good chance it could be a
14509s rematch crazyer raccoon I'm sure fire in
14512s their bellies after suffering to the
14513s number two c from this same region yeah
14515s but know uh obviously know Falcons they
14518s they make a tremendous run here now to
14520s our final uh with a loser final right
14523s with SSG in the mix the Des cycle who do
14525s you think they'd rather see it was crazy
14527s Ron that they would have said they we
14529s would have loved to see them you know I
14530s probably don't want to see either of but
14532s if you had to pick one look they might
14533s look but not that much what a
14536s competitive series from this crazy
14538s raccoon team jeez I mean think back to O
14541s Oasis yeah I mean these guys have a lot
14543s up their sleeve here but when they had
14544s to match the malgo just there slight
14546s variations in composition Fielder onto
14548s the KIRO had an incredible moment that
14550s kuna have shut down the Dragon Blade
14552s what an it's so interesting that we
14553s didn't see escort earlier on and then
14555s once we get here to the end it's like
14557s Route 66 it's like the one map I feel
14559s like we didn't talk about uh potentially
14561s being an AR right we discussed the
14563s Havana
14565s right circuit uh very interesting the
14568s route pick here at the end absolutely
14570s we've got to hear from the winners
14571s they've got to be feeling incredible
14573s getting straight into that Grand Final
14574s let's hit down to the stage Danny impr
14576s proper Mitch Matt thank you very much I
14578s am here with the Porsche performance of
14580s the match it is none other than proper
14583s from team
14585s Falcons amazing job big congratulations
14588s on getting the win I mean this was
14590s looking kind of grim for uh Team Falcon
14593s starting off you guys were were losing
14595s one to2 and then you guys were able to
14596s turn the series around how are you guys
14598s able to do that how are you guys able to
14600s get the win against crazy raccoons today
14629s uh definitely because crazy raccoons are
14631s a great team and you know we had to
14633s really uh wrap our head head around like
14635s what to do against the crazy raccoons
14637s and I think we found the solution uh to
14640s our problem and I think that's how we
14641s got the win do you think could you could
14643s explain a little bit about that
14648s solution no I tried all right well we'll
14652s save that for the grand finals maybe
14653s after the Grand finals if they win uh
14656s they can do it uh one final question you
14658s guys are now one more uh you guys are
14660s very close to actually winning it on
14662s Grand finals proper how are you feeling
14665s going into Grand
14681s finals we're not done yet we're going to
14683s focus and we're going to try your best
14684s to win it all all right proper thank you
14686s everybody thank you proper to the desk
14688s soe back to you thank you so much Donnie
14691s having a quick chat there with proper
14693s he's not going to give away Secrets just
14695s yet or ever I mean can't blame him for
14697s that Gentlemen let's break down the
14699s action first however let's talk about
14701s proper uh hand in it as we're looking at
14703s the portion performance of the match
14705s highlights and some stats to go with it
14707s proper for the first time this
14709s tournament on that Genji definitely
14711s being contested he sang on the other
14713s side tried his hardest to shut him down
14716s or like make him work even harder for
14717s his team yeah proper he was really
14719s lighting it up on tracer on this first
14721s map but I think as the series progressed
14724s it felt like heang was taking the edge
14725s and I mean it just showed really proper
14727s calmness Under Pressure you know you see
14729s him on the cam even when he's playing
14730s well he's just ice cold bringing out the
14733s Genji and having the confidence to come
14734s back to the Genji after a really
14736s challenging surasa what an impressive
14738s performance yeah I fought on the Midtown
14741s you saw the Tracer come out it felt like
14742s it had lower impact but once once he
14744s swapped over to that Genji what a
14746s performance I think in that final Route
14748s 66 map there were so many fights where
14751s Falcons was down one man and they turn
14753s it around somehow with that Shout with
14755s that Genji Dash and I feel like the
14757s blades are just so consistent yeah and
14759s if you really not put it into
14761s perspective here right we're thinking
14762s about the legacies and the careers of
14763s these guys I mean this is a Falcons team
14765s that has Championship experience you
14767s have Smurf of course a two-time
14768s OverWatch League champion with the San
14770s Francisco shock you have Chio and
14772s fielder who with the Dallas fuel it has
14774s to be said won the 2022 uh OverWatch
14777s League Championship as well and as much
14778s as we talk about proper you know this
14780s hyperflex which is so incredibly good
14782s you know an MVP rookie of the year he
14784s hasn't won that tournament yet he's yet
14787s to get first place in a major tournament
14790s in the OverWatch League or even outside
14791s of it in the owcs right so you know
14793s proper he's so hungry to finally claim
14795s that first place to lift that trophy
14796s right and a man of his caliber you he's
14799s got to be so hungry in that grand finals
14801s oh yeah I mean they're well on track to
14803s getting that first owcs championship
14805s title but this was a very close match
14808s and it really came down to those small
14810s adaptations from both of those sight so
14812s let's take a look at the general
14813s highlights and walk us through all the
14815s action that we just got to witness it
14817s was a f map Banger and it first seemed
14820s like crazy raccoons that did find an
14823s answer to the double Flex DPS that we
14825s were seeing but then adaptations were
14827s making yeah you know that first map
14829s trying to play Dive Into the Maga it did
14831s not work but the very surprising for us
14834s I think pick of surasa it was a big risk
14836s by crazy raccoon but it paid off
14838s massively felt like that set the tempo
14841s for the next map as well in the series
14843s bringing them to the precipice of taking
14845s themselves to the Grand finals but
14846s Falcons what an impressive rally I mean
14849s I I honestly didn't see that coming
14850s after map 2 yeah and I felt like this
14852s was a really like interesting like way
14855s the series went right you could see like
14857s first crazy Ron was trying to dodge Amal
14859s gamir then the Falcons were trying to
14860s dodge theal gamir and in the end right
14863s with the these push Maps they end up
14865s with the fat like the malamir and I feel
14868s like both teams felt like confident
14870s going into that last map and you could
14872s really see like the tempo throughout the
14875s series got turned up and I think
14877s especially Falcons really impressed me
14879s with that Venture Genji comp and how
14881s fast they were taking fights yeah and I
14883s feel like this final adaptation here on
14885s Route 66 we talked about how Fielder
14887s getting targeted on that batist but as
14889s the series progressed it felt like
14891s stalker specifically and the rest of the
14892s Falcons they kind of slowed down they
14894s didn't go as hard aggressively right and
14896s they kind of felt like they could trade
14897s pretty efficiently with the batist with
14899s the Venture against s playing the city
14902s and Shu playing the KIRO so maybe they
14904s figured out some kind of like micro
14905s tactic right there where maybe they feel
14907s like they're more comfortable trading in
14908s the front line we saw stalker a lot more
14910s dig in and actually play around this MAA
14912s rather than going for big flanks around
14914s and trying to get to lip maybe they felt
14916s a bit more comfortable slowing things
14917s down and taking you the Frontline duel
14918s instead so there's many things that
14920s could still shift for the Grand Final
14922s this series between these two teams the
14924s adaptations are not done yet they have
14926s each other's numbers they were both very
14928s much prepared they were able to flex
14930s over to different compositions or
14932s variations of such uh compositions alas
14935s Falcons did end up in the grand finals
14937s now you're already touching it those
14939s players are no strangers to that
14941s position they are now awaiting their
14943s next opponent it could be a rematch
14945s between them and crazy raccoon or or
14949s wait for it a goofy space station gaming
14952s the more unlikely one the two however
14955s would they be prepared for it I I do
14958s think you know Falcons is pretty happy
14960s going to the Grand finals but there's no
14962s team quite as happy as space station
14963s because I think this is a much more
14965s winnable match up for them I think lips
14967s flexibility is going to be really put to
14969s the test so far it's been the Genji the
14971s Genji that's been a consistent answer to
14973s these Sigma comps the rush comps from
14975s the European teams but running the
14977s double Flex I think is critical I'm not
14979s sure you can get it done with the hit
14981s scan into the sigma or the ram I'm not
14982s sure that it can be done but at the same
14985s time I feel the raw player strength on
14986s crazy raccoon is so high even if you
14989s have a strategic Advantage for SSG I'm
14991s not sure that's going to be enough I
14992s mean I can attest to that we the F of
14995s course tried to run the hit scan into
14996s the into the European like blocking tank
14999s style didn't go well for us so let's see
15001s if crazy Ron can make it work or what
15003s they will bring I do feel like this is
15005s such like a mental Boon it reminds me of
15007s last year in the OverWatch League when
15009s we lost to that Boston Uprising at a map
15011s five like final fight scenario it's such
15014s a mental setback and they have to go
15016s into the next series right away I think
15018s there's any chance for SSG beating them
15020s it's right here because crazy raccoons
15022s need to like reset their mental like
15024s really fast and that's quite tough well
15026s if you want to dig deep into the
15028s archives you know let's not forget that
15029s Atlanta rain was once in an over League
15031s Grand Final as well after beating the
15032s Dallas fuel you know we always talk
15034s about Dallas fuel Shanghai dragons in
15036s 2021 what an incredible match up between
15038s really two really good teams Dallas fuel
15040s they drop down into the lower bracket
15042s and there Atlanta rain is waiting for
15043s with them upsets the Dallas Fuel and
15045s Advan to the Grand Final so we've seen
15046s it before I do want to say though this
15048s would be incredibly unlikely if space
15051s station advances to the Grand Final it
15052s would be the upset of the year it would
15055s be and if price raccoons will make their
15056s run back up there they have to play
15059s three back-to-back matches and they will
15061s have a disadvantage when it comes to the
15063s map pick uh in that Grand Final there as
15065s well so you know they're playing with
15067s their backs against the wall now let's
15068s see if they can get it done we're
15070s getting ready for SSG versus raccoon up
15072s next oh what's done doing though right
15074s now at dream hack let's take a
15083s look where is he what is he doing he
15086s he's drawing that's Beau is so CH

15716s what's going on y'all PG here and today
15718s we're watching o WCS major
15722s hey welcome back to the owcs major here
15725s at dream hack Dallas as you can see we
15727s brought some special guests out here on
15729s the desk we've got some of the boys from
15731s NRG shock just announced this weekend
15733s and guys how's it feel being at land
15734s being a dream hack feels awesome nice
15737s seeing everybody and playing on stage
15738s for the first time it's definitely great
15741s I mean I've been to like all the owl
15742s events recently like past over the years
15745s and being able to play at one definitely
15746s surreal better experience than watching
15749s yeah just playing on stage was like just
15751s super fun I I can't wait to do it again
15754s yeah we definitely want to see you back
15756s at more lands coming out of na and I
15759s mean what an incredible G set of games
15760s we've had today incredible matches so so
15762s close
15763s although coming up next EU coming back
15765s trying for vengeance against Asia do you
15767s think they have what it takes I'm a
15769s little bit of a doubter I'm I'm I'm
15770s believing in the Korean teams what do
15772s you guys think oh crazy raccoon head all
15774s right all right um I'm definitely an EU
15777s believer I mean I might be biased like I
15779s we kind of need him to win
15782s so helping for the ewc slots so SSG all
15786s the way SSG is going to like three 0
15788s Landon's the best B hot's one of the
15790s best T ssg's got this right and from you
15793s think the take match up is winable you
15795s think you can make it happen into the
15796s malga yeah no I I think hotti can play
15799s against Jun malga for sure maybe if
15801s anyone can do it it might be hottie he's
15802s got the crowd behind him he's got energy
15804s shock behind him pretty exciting what
15806s about these SSG we talked about some of
15808s those SSG players I'm curious let's go
15809s down the line I'm curious about your
15810s role about some of these guys what about
15813s the DPS PG you think you think sparker
15814s is Got What It Takes can he take it to
15815s lip I think sparker definitely has what
15817s it takes I think coming into this
15819s tournament he's definitely one of the
15820s most underrated his games coming out
15823s you think he can take it to lip though I
15824s mean this is we're talking about lip
15826s this is arguably the hit scan goat I
15829s think sparker has what it takes he's
15831s definitely underrated okay okay rack how
15833s about you what about the support lineup
15836s honestly FY asro Landon dominant support
15839s line played with Landon in the past I
15840s think he's insane at what he does
15842s perfect for the team funny asro insane
15844s Lucio pickup for the team as well yeah
15846s what about hottie you think you think
15847s the Ry you think we're going to see Ry
15849s this series infected yeah they're
15850s definitely going to pull out the Ry
15851s somewhere if anybody could do it
15854s no doubt no doubt I'm super curious to
15856s see what strategy space station comes
15857s out with I think crazy raccoons is the
15860s more winable matchup of the two teams
15862s from Asia for space station gaming I
15864s think honestly space station had a tough
15866s time against Falcons but raccoons they
15868s love that Cassidy and I think there's a
15870s real chance that could be caught out by
15872s SSG but I mean regardless of strategy
15875s there's just a raw skill situation here
15878s on crazy rack movs I mean you just load
15880s into the server what would you guys feel
15881s you come into the rank Lobby and you got
15883s crazy racco players on the other team
15886s are you feeling confident can you play
15887s with that confidence on stage against
15888s these guys it's definitely scary playing
15891s against li like but after looking up to
15893s a player and then playing against them
15895s or like being in the same playing field
15897s as them is insane so yeah I'm saying
15901s like if I go against any crazy raccoon
15902s on their own in like ranked I'm scared
15905s for my life but you know if I go against
15908s five of the SSG players I'm more scared
15911s than you know just a few of them yeah
15913s their team play has been one of the
15914s things I've been highlighting all
15915s tournament long it's been incredibly
15916s impressive whenever we do the comms list
15918s in SSG is just ice cold even in the
15920s clutch moments that's really impressed
15922s me I mean you guys can speak the how
15924s difficult it is to execute on that level
15926s with the pressure of land I mean what
15927s was it like for you guys for those of
15928s you first time playing on stage what is
15930s that experience like what is the
15931s pressure like having the crowd there
15933s right in front of you personally I was
15935s like really nervous because you just got
15937s signed the shock and we're playing on
15938s stage for the first time but I think it
15940s was a good experience for us and like
15942s players like these are going to do
15943s perfectly fine on stage yeah I think the
15946s veterany is definitely going to come in
15948s clutch for space station gaming they're
15950s really going to need to lock in because
15952s I think the team play is going to be
15953s critical that's their that's their real
15955s hope in this series that the rush can
15956s just be so clean so effective um what do
15958s you think about psycho actually this is
15959s a player we've been talking about for
15960s space station for a bit here in these
15962s tournaments is you know in the past
15964s London Spitfire they were so committed
15965s to playing Rush that was kind of the
15966s only look they had but with this roster
15968s with psycho coming in I think he's
15970s really elevated their flexibility how
15972s important is that flexibility when comes
15973s to the strategy at this level of the
15975s game I think the game itself has just
15979s evolved so much you see so much change
15981s now like especially widening the hero
15984s pool backbone you know insane may but
15986s you're not going to be able to run that
15987s against you know far Venture you're not
15988s even going to be able to shoot them you
15990s put a tracer in there can pressure
15991s everyone it's just a really good pickup
15994s overall yeah PGE what about you what
15996s about the flexibility you've been known
15997s as a hit scan God what do you think
15999s about this what the what we're seeing
16000s from players like proper are you ready
16002s to to to bring out the Genji I'm ready
16004s to bring out the flex DPS I've been
16006s working on it a little bit my my Genji
16008s might be there my Genji might be there
16010s he's just like proper yep yep in every
16012s way you got to believe you got to have
16013s the comments I think that's the future
16014s of OverWatch 2 infected what about
16016s playing tank in OverWatch 2 I think this
16017s has been a Hot Topic in the community I
16019s feel like right now for the OverWatch 2
16021s you kind of got to play Everything Is
16022s that a lot of pressure coming into the
16024s game coming into the server I think it
16025s is for like a lot of players cuz they
16027s there's like 12 tanks in the game and if
16029s like you're a solo tank you have to play
16030s all of them that's why I think someone
16031s is the best tank in the world too cuz
16033s he's just very good at all of them so
16035s flexibility is really important yeah and
16037s I think of you honestly in facted as a
16038s player who kind of has been playing
16039s everything for a long time how do you
16041s see that in terms of your future in
16043s terms of your Hope to come back here
16044s playing on stage is that flexibility
16046s something that you continue to rely on
16048s yeah I want to keep working on my
16049s flexibility too like if it's zaruma I'm
16051s going to have to like work on it a lot
16053s but for most of the heroes I think I'll
16054s be pretty okay and our team will be okay
16057s yeah well I'm really excited to see how
16059s this next match goes down I I think this
16060s is going to be incredible as we're going
16062s to be able send it down to Danny and
16063s meet these teams as they come in for
16065s this loser bracket
16068s final Dallas Texas put your hands
16071s together for crazy
16075s raccoons crazy raccoons they may have
16078s been knocked down but they're not out
16080s yet this team is no stranger to
16082s elimination pressure they are coming
16084s with a Vengeance for a rematch in that
16087s grand final this is a team you've got to
16089s be scared of when they load into the
16090s server
16095s so many Star studed faces on this roster
16098s one of the strongest we've ever seen
16099s they may be coming off a loss but I just
16101s feel the veterancy on this squad it
16103s doesn't mean anything to them they will
16105s not be shaken
16109s easily and their opponents give it up
16112s for space station
16116s gaming fan favorites here in the crowd
16119s you can hear their response is
16120s absolutely electric this is a team that
16123s sticks together no matter what even
16125s facing one of the best in the whole
16127s world you know that they'll be coming
16129s with confidence psycho here in the
16131s starting lineup giving them flexibility
16133s ready to match anything that crazy
16134s raccoons throws with them nonetheless
16136s this might be the toughest team space
16138s station gaming has ever faced here on an
16140s international
16143s land thank you very much Jake in the
16145s desk yes we are here in the lower finals
16147s at dream hack Dallas the major crazy
16150s raccoon versus Space Station gaming me
16153s and Rose will bring you through this
16155s match in just a moment players getting
16157s seated loaded into Lobby and then we'll
16159s be underway it's crazy to think about
16161s the fact that we only have three teams
16163s remaining here at dream pack Dallas only
16166s one of which gets a chance to move on to
16167s that grand finals to face up against
16169s team Falcons one of those teams that
16172s everybody has had their eyes on as one
16173s of the Front Runners for this tournament
16175s and crazy raccoon also up there with
16177s them so can space station gaming
16179s actually get the job done well crazy
16181s raccoons probably feeling a little bit
16182s worse aware right now being beaten by
16184s team Falcons for the first time I mean
16186s they're number one seed in the Asia
16189s region versus the number two uh number
16191s one seed sorry in EU in space station
16193s gaming I bumped into space station
16195s gaming I didn't bump into party in the
16196s bathroom this time it was just out back
16198s I said you know what give me the low
16200s down give me the score what's going to
16201s go in uh what's going to go down in this
16203s series and they're like look we got so
16204s much confidence rocking in here it's
16207s going to be a 3-1 like we'll give him a
16208s math but a 3-1 nonetheless you got to
16211s respect the chatty of confidence I feel
16213s like he's always so cool calm and
16215s collected when it comes down to being
16217s able to lead this team and I think it
16219s gives a whole boast of confidence to
16221s everybody that's standing beside him
16223s sitting on that stage getting ready to
16225s load into the server so no surprise
16227s there that they are confident and ready
16229s to go against this
16231s squad first map about to load in and
16234s remember last time space station faced
16236s the up against an Asian team well it was
16238s a 30-0 and it was not in their favor it
16242s was team Falcons though which just comes
16244s stacked with this super power Venture
16247s that gave them a lot of trouble in that
16248s backline one thing that we have not
16250s really gotten a chance to see from crazy
16252s raccoon quite yet so maybe that will be
16254s a little bit in their favor as they look
16256s towards how to figure out how to break
16258s one of these Korean teams I think this
16260s is the perfect way to play this out as
16261s well because crazy raccoons want to win
16263s here to get that Revenge match against
16265s team Falcons in the Grand Final but if
16267s space station win here truly the heart
16269s and soul of a lot of people in this
16271s Arena right now they've become fan
16272s favorites uh ever since they were London
16274s Spitfire in the OverWatch league and
16275s every single time Hardy and the rest of
16277s the gang step up on the stage The Crowd
16278s Goes absolutely
16281s ballistic and I'm ready to rock and roll
16283s as soon as the players are I mean look
16285s their Clash of uh their Clash of styles
16287s has been something that might uh tilt it
16289s in the favor of crazy raccoons this
16291s malga play versus this more Rush star
16293s with the Ram with the Ry it might come
16295s back to bite space station we are
16297s quickly getting an issue sorted very
16299s fast just a a mic issue but it shouldn't
16301s be too long before we get him but I
16303s think a lot of these teams
16304s underestimated the overall power that
16305s comes out of the EMA region take a look
16308s at how Toronto defiant fell yesterday to
16311s EU hands so you have to really come in
16315s with a lot of respect for both an of
16318s course Unfortunately they are out of the
16319s competition now but space station gaming
16321s still that last fashion of Hope for EU
16324s and na fans yeah the na PS exactly I'm
16328s sure a lot of them will be cheering for
16329s space station right
16330s now course
16333s but I think it's about time we get this
16336s underway lower bracket finals space
16339s station gaming and crazy raccoon we're
16343s going to ilos first
16345s Roose going to ilos first is the first
16347s map in this first two three and crowd we
16351s want to hear you let's make some noise
16354s but we get ready to kick things off here
16356s in the lower
16359s finals what kind of style are we going
16361s to see here from space station
16362s of course they've just been backstage
16365s watching how crazy ruz been playing
16367s against team Falcons and that's going to
16369s have to influence a little bit of their
16370s decision making can they actually figure
16372s out a way to get the jump on them when
16375s you might be expecting that malga
16376s composition to come out space station
16378s have had to figure something
16380s out here we go doors unlocking in 5
16383s seconds space station gaming they're
16386s going to have to fight with courage to
16387s upset the gods crazy raccoon with the
16390s Wrecking Ball with the echo lip on the
16392s Tracer versus the tried and true in the
16395s rush from space station the wrecking
16397s ball is one way that you can get in and
16398s disrupt this close together composition
16401s coming out from space station but it's
16403s also going to play a little bit slow
16404s you're hoping that the Poke damage
16405s coming through from he's Echo is going
16407s to be able to help at least soften
16409s something up here for jum in 2 everyone
16411s is got to work together here on crazy
16412s rco try to get one of those kicks in the
16414s back it's going to be tough for them to
16416s space station to lock down jum hard
16418s taking a lot of damage popping that
16419s Nemesis for making sure he stays alive
16422s follow the make a health pack right now
16423s is going to be key for Space Station to
16425s push into the crazy raccoons right now
16427s try and look for this entrance psycho
16429s going low forced a recall now as jumin
16432s makes his second point of Engagement a
16434s slam onto sparker but a quick roll back
16436s and a few heals will do it but psycho
16438s the first to fall to he sang
16440s sticky a lot of burst damage coming
16442s through from the Echo and the perfect
16444s player to be able to pick up but as we
16445s say that sparker able to get the better
16447s of LIF and try to even a score before sh
16449s was able to take out that big explosive
16450s heing crazy racon with
16452s Point control though is Chong just ins
16454s into the back line and traes one for one
16456s but that's a good one for one sparker
16459s going down how do we even shut down
16460s heang at this point who's already got a
16462s duplicate duplicate can go on to so many
16464s different targets too but I look at hot
16466s ratra as being a key here you're able to
16468s give yourself yet another tank even that
16470s Annihilation to get up close and
16472s personal to play that brawl a little bit
16474s closer to their play style be very
16476s beneficial but as we take a look at
16478s crazy raccoon holding them at Bay the
16479s immortality field has already been
16480s popped here by Landon there's the dke on
16483s to the back Hardy once again kind of
16485s scurrying away using that speed up from
16487s fun Astro he T super far in the back
16490s line of space station right now pops the
16492s duplicated land booped over the edge oh
16494s the copy doesn't run out in time and
16496s he's sang booped Over is funny Astro
16498s claims two two is going to be enough
16501s here to open things up for space station
16502s without having to use any ultimates just
16504s yet might be able to get in take control
16506s of this point and hold on to a lot of
16508s these resources look at that even li
16510s trying to go in to get a touch better of
16512s it goes back to the rest of the team so
16514s they can rethink their re-engage as
16516s crazy R can come in set these mindfields
16518s here from jump in but it's going to be
16519s this first oh ja they managed to get the
16523s bo up from funny Astro the sound barrier
16525s came in but he's sing with the Nano was
16527s helping clean up that kill fny Astro no
16530s sound by for the rest of his team now
16532s space station gaming we're relying on
16534s that to save this fight at the very
16537s least space station were able to see
16538s crazy raccoon use so many more ultimates
16540s in that fight than they probably wanted
16541s to too throwing the Nano as well as
16543s their own sound barrier at this means
16545s that it's just going to be the Minefield
16546s left that they have to contend with but
16548s losing that sound barrier is huge
16550s sparker has the D ey maybe to push
16551s people back but this meld is going to
16552s stop them at the doors M slam and look
16555s at the damage on just sparker oh my word
16558s Liv Chong and he's descending on him
16561s funny Astro in a whole heap of hurt now
16562s as well how does space station really
16564s contend with this they can't look at any
16567s single one Target because everybody well
16569s apart from shu is so mobile and shu is
16572s playing on a different planet right now
16574s so far away from the rest of the team
16576s you can't necessarily just send funny
16577s Astro after him but there's only a
16579s couple percentages left for crazy
16581s raccoon to take in order to take this
16582s first round and Bunny Astro they one
16584s hope not able to get there sparker dead
16586s too this is surely round there's no one
16588s that can get there in time psycho was so
16592s close tried to double blink in there hat
16594s to
16595s recall already to faced his demise 1 to
16600s start us off crazy raccoon not holding
16603s any punches back but you started to
16605s touch on something so important there
16606s which is that the type of composition
16608s that crazy raccoon is bringing this dive
16610s it's going to be so difficult for Space
16611s Station to actually lock down any single
16614s Target how do you do that without maybe
16617s even being able to seek around behind
16619s the team jumping gets a couple of Pop
16621s shots just rolls away grabs a health
16624s pack and it's almost like that damage
16625s was never
16630s done round number two now
16632s ctive raccoon happy with this
16635s comp happy with the fact that like you
16638s mentioned Rose very hard to lock any
16639s single one person down the magnate is
16641s such a fantastic tool to do so but I
16644s mean the ball almost outruns the magnate
16647s a lot of other people do as well dive
16649s onto the back line landed in
16650s trouble no chance to use any CDs by the
16653s looks of it maybe that regenerative
16655s burst but that's about it Sparkle comes
16658s up with one on to shoe but how do they
16660s convert psycho taking a lot of damage
16662s and look at he it's all good he's in the
16665s pit just waiting for that shift to come
16667s back online and 56% towards the
16669s duplication already and that capture is
16671s coming through rather soon Landon has
16674s been the target of so many of these
16675s Dives on that bapti very vulnerable but
16677s going to switch over to the KIRO to try
16679s to limit some of that access with this
16681s Swift step you're able to get in get out
16683s just a little bit better and so you can
16685s see that Landon's already been able to
16687s have a little bit more impact in this
16688s game especially when you can look at the
16689s suzu 2 such a unique part of that cual K
16693s goes pretty bad though being forced off
16694s your best hero you must
16696s say been finding the secret Heth packs
16699s lying around the map but here's the
16700s duplication from heack how many po
16702s spawns do we got in our future we'll
16704s have to wait and see Hardy taking a face
16705s full of bullets there but in the Nemesis
16707s form he should be good to shrug them off
16709s getting healed up Pulse bomb now there's
16711s at least one online the stick is good
16713s it's good for two as well H and sparker
16716s bite the dust as crazy raccoons WIP
16719s space
16720s station it's going to be so
16722s oh he saying he's just been such a
16724s menace whether it's in the back line the
16726s front line with that duplicate any of
16728s these targets have been so good we've
16729s seen he saying duplicate the Baptist
16731s duplicate the Tracer he's been able to
16734s find these opportunities to just get a
16737s kit online something that's going to
16738s have immediate impact with that pulse
16740s bomb also just being able to land too
16742s Play Station have had a hard time coming
16744s back into this one but they finally have
16745s ultimates to do it looking at that Rush
16747s from Landon n boo on jump oh he's got
16750s about a million miles an hour there in
16751s that uh little corner a rush is going to
16753s see he has to back off in the end but
16755s still has mines and I can imagine that's
16758s going straight on the head of land and
16759s trying to force him CDs and it did it
16761s that look at that sound bar coming
16762s through from space station so early as
16764s well mines come out on the point a few
16766s of them being eliminated by Hardy there
16767s is finally someone from crazy raccoon is
16769s going to fall but they're not going to
16771s go down without a fight both races now
16773s missing from action crazy raccoon still
16776s with the point control and Hardy has
16778s nowhere to run and almost nowhere to
16780s hide has a Vortex himself there to make
16782s sure jumping can't get on top of him but
16784s someone's got to look at he another
16786s duplication and hard you're going to
16789s have to mess with the best or you're
16790s going to die like the rest and he falls
16792s to Li and that's a 99 to0 space station
16797s gaming are going to get one more touch
16799s with psycho however a duplicated
16802s Annihilation I think that might just be
16804s it psycho is buying a lot of time here
16806s but the ability to find and isolate
16808s kills is just so Paramount to the
16811s success of it's crazy raccoon's
16812s composition and it's been so easy for
16814s them to do so finally hastro at light
16818s speed trying to dump on the back line
16820s but Shu didn't last a nan second and
16823s crazy raccoon will start the series with
16826s a
16829s 2-0 that Wrecking Ball just caused so
16832s much Havoc for space station gaming to
16834s have to deal with really felt like they
16836s were never able to have a fo in their
16838s game
16840s there map number two coming up soon we
16843s see what the desk have to say as we go
16844s into map
16845s three that's uh that's a pretty tough
16847s map for the space station Believers but
16850s I think we always knew ilos was going to
16852s be really rough that is crazy raccoon at
16854s their strongest right in the dive
16856s matchup super Comforts some for them
16858s what we've seen from them all season
16859s long I'm curious though how do you think
16861s space station turns this around I know
16862s we still got some Believers on the desk
16864s I think bring him to a linear map no
16866s dive you know you you took Landon off
16868s the Baptist you're running the echo the
16870s ball all that stuff just wa too hard to
16872s live into so bring him to a straight map
16875s Cal what do you think on the support can
16877s the B work too difficult just play Rush
16879s play Rush stick to your guns really more
16881s to it yeah no I think you're right keep
16883s it simple at this this is the big stage
16885s the pressure is on I think there's
16886s something to be said for staying in your
16888s comfort zone and crazy I mean they're
16889s playing ball like no one else has been
16891s touching that hero pretty much all
16892s season long so I think all the tank
16895s players always want to play ball they're
16896s like no it can work everyone's like it
16898s does not work but the tank players
16899s believe infected what do you think about
16901s the wrecking ball there
16902s I thought J just play that really well
16904s especially on ilos 2 it's definitely one
16905s of the best ball maps in the game I
16907s think it just favors crazy raccoons much
16909s better than it favors SSG I'm curious
16912s actually what you would pick infected
16913s from the tank matchup perspective where
16915s do you think the best chance is to make
16916s ssg's signature Rush style work what map
16919s they've got the whole pool open to them
16920s here uh I would choose either circuit or
16923s Midtown just CU I think they could play
16925s like that Seer Ram style into that magga
16927s style and and probably just take it
16929s probably just yeah just win that miror
16931s match up
16932s yeah slow the game down maybe take some
16934s of the pace out of the game give sparker
16936s a little more room to work with but they
16937s are going to have to contend with heing
16940s um incredible performance from him in
16942s that first map on the echo I mean you're
16944s so busy worried about lips Tracer about
16946s Jin's ball Sho was throwing nades
16948s constantly he's saying just feasting on
16950s you from the sky this Echo performance
16952s was Monster oh my the Ajax on funny as I
16955s think he got double Boop there I think
16956s that's the slam into the Boop up from
16958s Lucio man it is not easy facing crazy
16965s raccoon the echo copy too I love the the
16968s copy Tracer so freakish double Tracer
16971s good luck good luck trying to survive
16973s the double Tracer multiple pulse bombs
16975s back to back how does that feel I'm
16977s curious for the support players on the
16978s desk Cal rack how does it feel playing
16980s against against this full dive comp the
16982s echo the Tracer I think I have it at
16984s least easier than Cal I mean on Lucio
16987s like you have that survivability you
16988s have that poop you can get out of stuff
16990s but most of my kit is to keep this man
16993s right next to me alive on Cal so I don't
16995s know how it feels from him but Cal's
16997s shaking his head you is that is not
16999s going that way what how's it feel on the
17001s flex ofart taking that level of heat
17002s from this level of international
17004s competition at land uh it's like
17006s whatever you do to prepare in like group
17008s stage against like other na teams it
17011s they can't replicate how the Koreans
17013s play Dive and it's like it's you like
17016s years of practice against na players
17018s like will not prepare you for even a map
17019s against some of these Koreans like
17021s walking out spawn is even a hazard yeah
17023s they're so aggressive they play the
17024s tempo so fast and I think we've really
17026s seen that you know in this tournament
17028s with the manga with the ball crazy
17030s raccoon really emphasizing the
17032s difference between the regions right now
17033s I mean Asia is on top with a bullet
17035s maybe we'll see more competition in
17037s Esports World Cup but ssg's in trouble
17039s we're coming to the next map pick here
17041s we've heard we've heard suggestions of
17042s circuit of Havana anywhere you can slow
17045s the game down um I like those picks I
17047s think that maybe is the right look
17048s there's also the the chance for uh you
17051s know maybe taking us to a hybrid there's
17053s there's the Midtown there's just so many
17055s threats in the map pole though even if
17056s you win a map I mean crazy raccoons it's
17059s going to take you somewhere you don't
17061s want to be this is going to be a tough
17062s series for SSG it is the Alana I mean
17064s this has been a standby for them if
17065s anything this is them going back to
17067s what's worked for them let's play Rush
17069s probably the worst side map in the pool
17071s I think it's fair to say so at least
17073s they can maybe force a match of style
17074s what do you think crazy raccoon is going
17076s to come out on here strategically what
17077s comp do you expect to see I expect to
17079s see well at least on SG side the spawn
17082s hold I think they're going to Crazy
17083s raccoon will pop out with some crazy
17085s like far Venture M good just run into
17088s them try to break that spawn older and
17090s from there just keep hitting them from
17092s where they can't see I think an
17095s important thing about this map pick too
17096s is that it takes jalter out I think
17099s that's would be a really good map pick
17100s for crazy raccoons and that definitely
17102s gives SSG an edge over the other Maps
17105s yeah I think I think it maybe had to be
17106s an escort here right getting that out we
17108s are going to see a sub for crazy raccoon
17111s on the tank roll bringing out Max I mean
17113s this is one of the scary things about
17114s these teams crazy raccoon and Falcons
17116s for that matter is that I mean you force
17118s a tank sub and you go up against another
17120s one of the best players in the world in
17121s fact how do you see these players Max
17123s and Jun bin um do you think this shows a
17125s stylistic preference for crazy raccoon
17127s maybe telling us something about what
17128s they want to play yeah I think both of
17129s them are really good at like the malga
17130s and like the RAM and stuff but like J
17132s been leaning over more to like the main
17133s T style Heroes like ball and then Max
17135s lean over to like more the off tank
17137s style Heroes like Sig so I think they're
17138s both really flexible it should work out
17140s well in their favor
17142s any thoughts on I'm curious Cal your
17143s perspective on the the flex support with
17145s Shu you know world class player arguably
17147s number one in the world in the in the
17148s pure Flex support role where do you
17150s think he's going to go on this map I
17151s mean could play slower with the bat
17152s could play faster with the car what
17154s would you do in that situation honestly
17156s Flex for is kind of a Caple role right
17158s now what do you mean by that tell me
17159s more it's uh the character doesn't
17161s matter just whatever your tank is
17162s playing and then you don't really have
17165s any like free will like you just have to
17166s hold down one button for the entire game
17168s just just desperately healing just
17170s trying to keep people alive but I think
17172s that uh we're I'm probably going to see
17174s Anna here I think that that's a sleeper
17176s pick a lot of the Koreans when they play
17177s MAA they they love playing Anna and I
17181s it's very entertaining to watch and so
17183s into the Landon Bap I really think they
17184s can make something happen on Anna yeah I
17186s think shoes Anna is a sight to behold
17188s we'll have to see what they go with I
17189s think you're exactly right I think that
17190s Anna is a huge threat especially when
17192s you run the Sig the MAA I mean you can
17194s kill the Anna but I think Fielder
17196s historically he just doesn't care he
17197s will die but he will die nting your
17199s backline and you know the cleanup is is
17201s coming we got MGA LIF steal we got Chio
17203s on the loser we don't need the Anna you
17204s know the Anna is a sacrificial L but I
17206s think that's one of Fielder strengths as
17207s a player I you know watched him a lot
17209s and he's just so selfless as a player
17211s like willing to die whatever it takes
17212s for the team uh and you know it works
17214s out really well when you got somebody
17215s like proper to throw the Nano on you
17216s you're feeling pretty good about that
17217s you're like yeah you could take the Nano
17219s I trust you I trust you yeah I mean
17223s that's the one thing that uh coming to
17225s the international level is so many
17226s people did play different comps like na
17230s originally was playing like a lot of MAA
17232s EU was running that Sig RAM and then
17234s Korea started playing all those comps
17236s but with Anna and we never saw that that
17238s was something like we never expected and
17240s they're also just very very very good at
17242s it when you have no practice and can't
17244s Shield those nads I know I think one of
17246s the things that people think about Korea
17247s they you know they often talk about oh
17249s it's like a dive region that's what they
17250s play but I think that really understates
17252s the level of flexibility where sure they
17253s can play Dive maybe it's you know The
17255s Highest Potential strategy in most cases
17256s but when they bring out the rush when
17258s they bring out the Poke it's not getting
17259s easy right it's it's you know that's
17261s that's what it is playing at this
17262s International level this is the best
17264s players in the world right they're not
17265s going to give you any kind of easy
17266s matches I'm curious for you guys uh how
17268s you see this this next map going do you
17270s think SSG can maybe take the momentum
17272s back here on
17273s Havana I think if they can't get it back
17276s now i' honestly sadly will say I don't
17279s know if they will be able to get it all
17280s right well we're going to see if they
17282s can make it happen here on Havana this
17283s is ssg's map pick this is their chance
17285s just take a claim on the series even
17287s things up one to one let's jump right
17289s into the action and and see who brings
17290s it out
17292s thank you very much guys on the
17294s desk that's right Space Station's mat
17298s Choice going to Havana last time they
17300s played against one of the Korean teams
17303s they did end up choosing circuit
17305s Royale Havana almost a
17309s wo even on Championship
17312s Sunday we're here for the birds and for
17315s a good timear clearly
17319s yeah OBS surgeon did tweet out earlier
17321s though she got the note she got the list
17324s of the locations of course she got she
17326s dropped the pin on all of
17329s them I'm with rack attack on this one
17331s though Havana is a great choice for
17334s Space Station to try to get the momentum
17336s back in their hands they were able to
17338s deliver a full hold to M80 on this map
17342s and they were also able to win it on
17345s Havana versus an uh it took a little bit
17348s longer we got to point three on that one
17350s but nonetheless space station they have
17353s a really good idea of how they want to
17354s handle these close holds on the defense
17358s crazy raccoon they've got to be ready
17360s for that they must have seen it and
17362s they're also going to be on the defense
17364s first just taunting each other through
17366s the window at the moment is CH wall
17369s riding it yeah close hold no real
17371s surprise here for crazy raccoon of
17373s course no
17374s dive like cow was mentioning on the desk
17376s too right there's nothing really that
17377s prepares
17379s you Gates unlocked
17382s space station show us what you
17386s got the best start in the world I say
17389s Lon going down like
17391s that oh even psycho taking a few
17394s Cheerios in the spawn room pretty
17397s much look at how they're locking down
17400s both sides of the spawn as well CH got
17402s the Cheerios on one side you've also got
17404s the Genji sh from the
17406s other is a little bit low and he saying
17409s is going to have to back up as far tries
17410s to take this angle to break through this
17412s they do spot he's saying just dashing in
17415s half HP mag comes out but Li faster on
17419s the trigger there pops out insta head
17421s shot onto
17422s sparker and space station gaming are
17425s just getting spawned out literally adds
17427s the spawn door Astro as well goes down
17431s oh yeah God just give him a bit of
17433s breathing room please now crazy raccoon
17436s they want Total Domination to make their
17438s way back up into that finals versus team
17441s Falcons but for space station maybe
17443s turning it around from start here L's
17445s going to be very close to that
17446s amplification Matrix Theo's able to
17448s break out with a big Focus landed traed
17451s again but Chon going down he going to be
17454s able to speed back pretty quickly
17456s although now you only relying on one
17457s Healer if that being shoot how quickly
17460s now can space station get back RS with
17463s this map duplicates up for psycho good
17466s shot by Li actually going to force a re
17468s reset there from land and has to pop
17470s that lamp in the corner
17471s it's not a l but it's a window and
17473s Sparkle firing through it finally
17475s catches one Shong on The High Ground two
17477s trying to boo people away this is a
17479s scrappy fight anything that space
17481s station game uh space station gam use
17483s here is going to benefit raccoons in a
17485s massive way finally they're managing to
17488s clean people up although heang refusing
17490s to go down eventually Falls to Landon
17493s and there you go the spawn hle has been
17496s broken and only with the amplification
17498s Matrix at that so a lot more that space
17500s station gets
17501s start this corner going hold a little
17504s aggressive here sparker has the Dead Eye
17507s be able to try to flank here with this
17510s shatter it's going to be hard to land
17512s this on to anybody you got this big Be
17514s Ma in front of you and where was sparker
17517s oh here comes the blade from heang I'm
17518s not sure going to be a to stand up to
17520s this one had unfortunately the resets
17522s there are coming and straight back to
17524s spawn with you sp yeah though Rose just
17527s out in the open you saw him roll over to
17529s the kind of the staircase on the the
17531s right hand side there crazy raccoon saw
17534s that opening pulled the blade on top of
17535s that initial kill and now the payload is
17537s going to creep back they've always been
17540s one step ahead of where sparker likes to
17541s try to take these flanks but here the
17543s dead so early Shadow does land connects
17545s with one sh on the ground but here come
17548s the duplications psycho with the malga
17552s how about taste this some of your own
17553s medicine hard and psycho able to take
17555s down Max and here comes the payload is
17558s finally moving Hardy still trying to
17560s contend with people in the spawn and
17562s with 60 seconds to go these kills need
17564s to be cleaned up Shu eventually Falls
17567s there CH on the point man to slip out
17570s but lip out of nowhere kills psycho I
17574s know psycho was trying to get this cart
17575s progress to move forward even just a
17576s little bit to give some breathing room
17578s for Space Station to come back in a
17580s psycho is actually going to switch off
17582s of the echo now go over to the Tracer to
17584s try to finish up this first point and
17586s there's only 30 seconds left another
17588s amplification Matrix in a dead eye here
17591s burning that precious cool down in that
17592s lamp as well sparker dashing in to try
17594s and kill tro he does man find the shot
17596s but Hardy can't step up now there's a
17598s window in his way and Max is holding the
17600s door in front of him
17601s too Hardy can't fall but unfortunately
17604s he does psycho unable to save him 15
17606s seconds to go now crazy really not
17609s taking any prisoners refusing to let
17612s space station gaming go near that first
17614s point even though they have the
17615s amplification matri to try to push them
17617s away he think going to have this blade
17619s up soon they're going to be able to get
17620s touch here here at the very least
17621s Landing with a window Peaks the corner
17623s however has to deal with lip on The High
17624s Ground Li with a double tap for the
17626s blade from he hang in the back the lamps
17628s already gone the pin good but an even
17631s better lab there from Shu saving his
17633s life and he Sang's going to end this one
17636s as quick as that space station gaming
17639s going to get held on that first Corner
17646s rounde we've seen space station be able
17649s to pull off some miraculous close holds
17651s before but this one is going to be very
17654s tough to
17656s accomplish not a whole lot of progress a
17659s was able to get on their attack push so
17662s they're going to have to deliver a very
17664s very lethal hold if they want to be able
17666s to win this map and win their map
17670s pick a tall task to ask as well I mean
17673s look crazy raccoons they come off of
17675s quite a tough loss went all the way to
17678s map number five versus team Falcons the
17680s first time they ever actually go down to
17682s them as well of course over in the Asia
17685s region I mean they are the Kings right
17688s they take both stages they beat
17692s Falcons maybe feeling a bit down coming
17694s into this series but it doesn't look
17696s like it at all they want that sweet
17698s revenge that's exactly what they're
17700s going to serve up in a moment me they're
17702s close to match point here and they might
17705s be feeling even a little bit more
17706s confident knowing that space station
17708s have had trouble being able to deal with
17710s these Mal comps even though they played
17712s against team Falcons that did have
17714s stalker Venture crazy raccoon know that
17716s the Malo is working Max has a lot of
17719s flexibility in his hero pool to be able
17721s to throw out something like the
17724s malga no Winton may be this time around
17727s but funny Astro giving us all the fan
17729s service that we need in this match we're
17731s going to have the gates open up and
17733s space station on the defense with a M
17734s top of their own oh my
17737s Sho full right click on the Zen insta
17740s switch is gigachad behavior that's the
17743s spawn hold broken and that's how you do
17745s it they were not expecting any of that
17747s crazy raccoon
17751s into switches to Mercy to get the
17754s res Chad Behavior this is wild like
17758s crazy raccoon they invested into a
17760s composition to just get these big one
17763s shots open up the doors for themselves
17765s and now lock into the real composition
17766s that they want to run but the ball's
17768s already gotten rolling how much damage
17770s is dunge space station try and take the
17773s staircase eang kind of waiting for him
17775s on High Ground tough Target to take down
17778s that being the Venture on the side of
17780s space station they need to do something
17782s cardiac overdrive on the point hard
17784s healing himself I'm not sure he going to
17787s survive that one there's a lot of damage
17788s thrown at you and I think that's about
17790s it couple of meters to go a beautiful
17792s reflect kill and this is all heang map
17795s right here and with 3 minutes to go as
17798s an easy push for crazy raccoons as they
17801s take the second map one of the quickest
17803s Maps I think we've seen so far here in
17806s Dallas unbelievable
17808s dominance of the G maybe the only other
17811s one being the full hold that we saw
17814s delivered by space station
17817s nonetheless a map that they wanted to
17819s pick to try to get this series back
17821s under their control one that we thought
17824s would give them a really big Advantage
17825s knowing how good their strategies have
17828s been with those close holds with that
17829s Reinhardt comp
17831s but crazy raccoon yet again one step
17833s ahead of the curve to be able to get the
17835s better of that I mean come on the Zen
17838s the Hanzo I want to get a Zen replay
17840s actually M Zen unfortunately you pop on
17844s Zen full right click into Landon's Dome
17846s I mean you're not expecting that at all
17847s you're not expecting Zen to come out
17849s there you're expecting the literally
17851s anything else honestly but not the
17854s Zen well with that crazy raccoons are on
17857s Match points we're going to jump to the
17859s desk you guys can take it away
17862s thank you so much Rose and Jack uh
17864s Winton that's what that's what the
17867s audience wants that's for sure F asra
17869s gives a little taste of it too that's
17872s the most winon we've seen at least on on
17874s hanana right now um but looking at it we
17878s got to be real with this one looks a
17880s tiny bit Hess they they can't seem to
17883s take that mirror Mar I mean at this
17884s point go back die on your Reinhard Hill
17887s right reinforc I mean the most fun to
17890s see going down on the Reinhard Hill I do
17892s think that like there's no way you're
17894s going to match them with the maguga
17895s composition so just play the Reinhard
17898s you know try to make it work the best of
17899s your abilities Jake I I I feel like I
17902s have very little ability to inspire hope
17905s here for SSG Jake I mean sometimes as a
17908s player I call it feeling the limit you
17910s know you play this match your team has L
17912s great all tournament against so many
17914s opponents you felt really strong like
17916s you're playing your best OverWatch and
17918s then a Titan comes out and just slaps
17920s you down feels completely a couple of
17923s League teams you face that you're like
17925s ah they're too strong never at the start
17927s of the match I think always coming to
17928s the start of the match feeling hopeful
17930s but sometimes this is the scenario right
17932s you're down 02 It's the final map you've
17935s thrown your best shots right no one
17936s wants to go down O2 you're always giving
17939s everything the first two maps especially
17940s you want to take a lead in the series
17942s but when it goes like this I mean it's a
17944s it's a complete beat down totally
17946s one-sided it's hard not to feel hopeless
17949s yeah well the good news is that it is
17951s SSG and that means that win or lose they
17954s seem to have fun uh they they are
17958s actually one of the teams which is
17959s mentally at least resilient they they
17961s have not felt like they just completely
17963s doomed after they they going down 1 2 I
17966s feel like they they're they're still
17967s rolling out with somewhat confidence
17970s yeah it's my job to be the Doomer you
17971s know it's up to the players to have the
17973s mental fortitude to show up here in in
17976s you know the most dire of straits and
17978s still have the trust in each other and
17979s honestly there's few teams teams other
17981s than SSG i' take over that and that
17983s circumstance right to be down backs
17985s against the wall odds sacked against you
17987s and to still come out swinging and to
17989s still play confidently into what could
17991s be the final map in this series but
17992s honestly I think we're looking at a
17994s crazy raccoons that that is angry yeah I
17996s mean it it also needs to be said
17998s probably that SSG with that pick onto
18000s Wana they probably like we've seen a lot
18002s of EMA and N teams do so far you want to
18004s get the escort pick out early and you
18006s you already tried playing Reinhardt on
18007s Cirus real it didn't work out earlier on
18009s in the tournament you can't go to jalter
18011s so you pretty much have to get rid of an
18012s escort early on because for example if
18015s you go to hybrid or whatever and you win
18017s well then you know that you're just
18018s going to take it to jalter they just
18020s going to out play you because they're
18021s different like that so now maybe escort
18023s out of the way maybe you now you open up
18024s to play braw the rest of the three spaps
18026s I mean you got a reverse sweep czy like
18028s there's no way there's no way they make
18030s it happen but maybe you can go to like a
18032s Midtown or something like that now we'll
18033s see what they actually
18035s take I was wanting to say this actually
18038s extremely happy about that there go back
18040s to the roots this is comfort zone this
18042s is home for uh a space station gaming
18046s Once Upon a Time at least so uh I'm
18048s happy about this pck it's exciting you
18051s know what this says to me is that maybe
18052s they will go down swinging in their
18054s comfort zone playing what has you know
18056s always been the old standby and and
18058s having some fun while doing it at the
18060s same time though for me I think crazy
18062s raccoon perfectly happy with this I
18064s don't think they're they're flustered
18065s one little bit playing they look like
18067s they're on to down there they're all
18069s smiles no there they're stilling they're
18071s still fighting as a player that's what
18073s you got to do you got to have confidence
18074s even when when the day isest and I think
18076s this is one of those really valuable
18078s things you have in that team they've
18079s known each other for a long time they're
18081s all cracking jokes they're all keeping
18082s each other up sometimes when you don't
18084s have it yourself you rely on your
18085s teammates for that and you know SSG they
18087s got it in Spades we actually have a sub
18089s coming in here as well once more junin
18092s coming in for Max lots of swapping uh
18096s obviously in the tank lineup especially
18098s for crazy Ron I think they're the only
18100s team which has been doing so many Subs
18101s throughout this tournament is this
18103s really just like the map preferences for
18105s the individual players you know I think
18107s I think infected hit on this on the desk
18109s previously that Max you know has a
18110s little bit more specialty when he needs
18112s to play especially the sigma wants to
18114s slow things down they do both play The
18115s Ram but you know there's just more
18117s conditions maybe if the enemy team
18118s brings out something different okay
18119s maybe we would respond with the sigma
18121s you got Max in but that's the value of
18122s the two tank uh rosters is that you need
18125s both of them to be flexible if you've
18126s got like a locked in guaranteed only
18128s playing off tanks player they could get
18130s really punished Max and junbin are not
18132s that they both are incredibly flexible
18134s players with just different
18135s specializations so a different look in
18137s OverWatch 2 and that 5v5 format uh
18139s really that's how you have to be to be
18141s two tanks in OverWatch 2 it's not just
18143s you know split the tanks 50/50 you both
18145s need about 70% of the hero pool to be
18147s confident but uh knowing this team here
18149s SSG those players and seeing this map
18152s pick I don't think they care what the
18154s opposition is going to play here
18155s reinforce I think this is just going to
18157s be them playing to their strength yeah I
18159s mean come on go out place play some
18160s rhinard that's right play some rhinard
18162s come on you might as well right like
18164s there's they're not going to play the
18165s sigma they're not going to play the
18166s Winston they're even the ratra I don't
18168s like the match of me to M at all so you
18170s might as well come out play the reinard
18172s you know King's Row as well maybe some
18174s shorter side angles for lip if lip is
18176s going to play the hit scan you know less
18177s room to play Tracer for example so maybe
18179s puts Tracer raccoons in a bit of a worse
18181s position than if we were on a Midtown on
18182s a Hollywood for example Hollywood of
18184s course but I do feel like space station
18186s this is the best bet you got Go Down
18188s Swinging with the Reinhard let's see the
18189s Hardy Reinhard one more time here in
18191s Dallas that's right I know we want to
18194s see it I think our audience agrees with
18196s us here as well this is however match
18198s point for the crazy raccoon Squad can
18201s they finish it out and meet Team Falon
18204s again in the Grand Final we'll find out
18206s right after this thank you very much
18208s desk yes it's coming home we're going to
18211s Kings Row space station Gaming's pick
18215s the engine still running and I expect a
18217s whole lot of Ry here
18220s I think we're all expecting that there's
18222s going to be a whole lot of
18223s Ry but it depends also on where they
18226s feel like crazy raccoon may want to go
18228s with this one jman coming back into
18231s their roster means that they have the
18232s opportunity to play all of those main
18235s tanks we saw the wrecking ball earlier
18237s on in this series but they also had the
18238s flexibility to be able to play the malga
18240s and the ratra two Heroes that we've seen
18242s a lot of teams try to take to the fold
18245s versus Space Station either leaning into
18247s the sigma or the Reinhardt
18250s bar is going to be a big Choice here
18252s little damage boost head shot from
18254s sparker maybe oh please I want it one
18259s head so all it take sometimes to uh
18262s crack open the first
18264s hole
18266s spot onto the OB all good there we go
18269s Spar switching over oh Reinhardt for
18272s space station spot the malga decide to
18275s go on to the sigma they try to take that
18278s High Ground or try to at least of course
18281s far can Boop you off if you're not
18284s careful good to have the sigma here when
18286s you know that you're going to be dealing
18287s with a lot of these Corners that
18288s Reinhard Shield that youve seen in the
18290s past has been able to get bursted down
18291s pretty quickly by something like the far
18293s pressure saying is already going to be
18295s able to quite a bit of work here around
18297s this hotel been so low there
18300s too takes psycho out of the Skies clipp
18303s his
18305s wings 3 minutes I mean sparker needs to
18308s take you can see how much Focus he's
18309s putting onto heang right now needs to be
18311s able to punish the far for being
18313s anywhere close to the sky box but Li has
18316s been able to mark him so well on some of
18318s these off angles that it's hard for SP
18320s to get a good Seline on
18322s that's uhoh got to be careful Li ends up
18325s going down though toi who's finally
18327s managed to take this High ground or at
18329s least attempting to little Lucio is
18330s having a little one V one there as shaon
18332s once again runs into hardi and's got
18335s booed out of the window but now the
18336s point capture is in progress for Space
18339s Station power jum just dashing in though
18342s charging in gets Nano applied to it
18344s cardiac overdrive up too that's a whole
18346s lot of healing and a whole lot of damage
18348s as well he sang unperturbed just jumps
18351s into the backline but sparker was there
18352s waiting for him sparker is having the
18354s carry performance that he needs right
18356s now on this CID as the dead ey ready to
18357s go as soon as all space station are back
18360s but yeah that nade from shu is going to
18362s push him back and able to limit how far
18365s he's able to push forward yeah and it
18366s buys time most importantly there they
18369s can't insta push but it's funny Astro
18371s that actually goes down they've lost
18372s their sound barrier now sparker can he
18375s be the hero that they require oh the
18377s barage it's not good enough lamp comes
18379s in not killed quick though but sparker
18382s claims the life of Pang doesn't end up
18384s training once again and here we go space
18386s station gaming they're going to get two
18388s check marks here I can imagine a third
18391s two jumping with no ultimate he's got
18393s another chance to get on here as shu is
18395s closing in on that Nano but there's just
18397s too much damage and Shu knows it back in
18401s a space station cap first you can see
18403s how effective this Echo from psycho has
18405s been in order to just really burst down
18408s this MAA from dunin get the sticky bombs
18410s in there a couple of really good shots
18412s to the head and finish it off with that
18414s focusing be but psycho two going have a
18417s lot of trouble with he saying still sing
18419s on the Tracer looking for the
18421s opportunity to just take out this Echo
18423s once again funny as playing a bit more
18425s reactively this time around to make sure
18427s that CYO just doesn't get taken out that
18428s easily
18430s too and he's got an extra blink there
18432s make that another one spark now hunting
18433s him down but look at the space he's
18434s creating just he is still alive too L
18438s eventually kills him and with that and a
18442s duplication forces raccoons to back
18446s off good disengage from to just get out
18449s of the way of this duplicate me that
18451s this cage isn't going to come online and
18452s the duplicate not able to find the value
18454s that psycho might have wanted from it
18456s but with space station having all of
18458s this space to work with with in the
18460s street phase he's got the gratic FL too
18462s to try to finish off the second point
18464s it's to as well but there's the SAR
18466s coming in Saving shoe and saving lip
18468s andon first to fall in the
18471s engagement hary right now trying to back
18473s off on a little off angle too but he's
18475s going to get punish for it yep straight
18476s into the London Underground you got no
18478s oyster car by Sun you're going to have
18480s to deal with the consequences now that
18482s cage comes in locks him in place and
18485s he's just cheekily using the shield nice
18488s little roll there from Spy to get a
18489s better angle on to he's saying but a
18491s tracer had the recall and that'll be the
18493s fight one from crazy raccoon but these
18495s nades from Shu have been huge with
18497s Landing feeling inflexible to go over to
18499s Theo finding that Comfort on the Baptist
18501s means that you don't have that cleans up
18502s suu available to be able to get rid of
18505s all of that purple on your team makes it
18507s a lot easier for crazy raccoon to just
18508s finish things off and take a look as
18510s she's positioning right now with this
18512s Nan disgusting Nano in the backline n on
18515s top as well soundar couldn't come in
18516s quick enough as does end up getting
18518s slept the post bomb connects from he
18521s Sparco what HP has to bash away Dash
18523s away heang though a blink smack mainly
18526s from around the corner and the flank
18529s play from the Tracer and theor working
18531s out wonders for crazy raccoon and all
18534s this time as well they're just buying
18536s that time bank slipping away from space
18539s station God shu is such a superstar per
18542s is able to help at least keep ping off
18544s of their tails but Shu has just been
18546s such a Difference Maker in a lot of
18548s these fights whether it was that Nano
18549s flame play or just being able to have
18551s all of these NES two of is so good
18554s bation they get another attempt at this
18556s one a minute and a half left on the
18557s clock J back on the doomfist though so a
18560s little bit of another look coming out
18562s here from
18563s R how about the doomfist is this com
18565s though quite frustrating for the lamb
18570s that was so good against a deployed lamb
18572s you just punch people out of it and then
18573s lip or he s jump on top you and get the
18576s insta kill that safety now is uh nothing
18580s but a fly on the wall honestly they
18582s lands again Astro and Hardy going purple
18584s there psycho playing point guard a
18586s little bit of Defense there from the
18588s traitor making sure that heang cannot
18590s get to the backline and find an
18592s execution
18593s kill 60 seconds to go with lip Dead
18596s Space Station still struggling to kill
18598s the flankers a but look at how far
18600s forward hard is pushed let's make sure
18602s that that Shield is going to be in the
18603s way from when whip actually makes his
18605s way back but he's saying still alive
18607s they're still alive and Sh has the sound
18609s barrier too
18610s can two man if he really want it Nano
18612s coming in hits jum Chong and heang
18615s someone has to deal with him at some
18616s point you have to kill them but they're
18618s unable to they're forced into the
18620s underground yet again and these they
18622s could try and stagger here as well 30
18624s seconds to go yeah they're just blocking
18627s him blocking him in that's huge he's not
18630s going to be able to get back into this
18631s fight he's going to to get even more oh
18633s give him the bag lip you know you want
18636s to a Kill on Tahari disastrous at this
18639s time in the game look how many old space
18641s station have but look at the aggression
18642s from heang and he's already killed one
18644s with help jump it a lamp on The High
18647s Ground but where's the touch funny Astro
18650s is having to deal with jumping on the
18651s doomfist it's going to try and dash to
18653s the point but he's not able to do
18655s so a Full Slate of ultimates from space
18658s station gaming but crazy
18661s raccoon stagger and then go basically
18665s touch the spawn forcing space station to
18667s use everything in their power to get
18669s that one final touch inating Ron they
18672s press the issue if you're not able to
18675s use your optimat you just can't win
18676s these fights if you play with that
18678s aggression really forcing space station
18680s to stay on the back foot they've never
18682s been able to make those aggressive
18683s engages in any of these fights so far he
18685s things has been so annoying on this
18688s Tracer not really able to allow Landon
18691s to focus on keeping hottie up not able
18694s to allow sparker to do his job either on
18696s this Cassidy sparker than one of the
18699s biggest damage dealers on this team just
18701s because of the prowess on that Cassidy
18702s and you're limiting that you're limiting
18704s the success that space station get a
18706s chance to
18708s have and crazy
18710s raccoon and team Falcons for that matter
18713s as well they just move different they're
18716s so fast they're so
18719s aggressive they can see the weakness and
18721s just go after it like blood in the water
18723s well like C said on the desk got
18725s reiterate nothing really prepares you
18728s for that level of aggression and the way
18730s the Korean teams play the dive and how
18733s fast they can go and how how much they
18737s understand their limits as well very
18739s much limit testing space station right
18741s now Gates unlock crazy raccoon the malga
18744s this
18745s time they got the symmetric teleporter
18747s too actually to help get Shu up to this
18749s High Ground allows him to get these
18751s angles a lot faster take a look at how
18753s he's already spotted sparker over in
18755s that window look the hunter as well very
18759s spicy
18760s not a bad idea you've got the sniper
18762s potential you also have the Sonic Heroes
18764s to help you just get a little bit more
18765s Intel for the team we're still on this
18768s doomfist for chunin doomfist and Nano
18770s combo from Shu has been so powerful even
18773s that's just what you saw in that last
18774s round oh good kill though eang 30 HP oh
18778s still wins The Duel as
18780s well sparker missing a couple of shots
18782s he's going to regret that one I see gets
18784s healed on up that beam Almost 100%
18787s accuracy but it is land and that's
18789s fighting the good fight for space
18791s station on this first point she chasing
18793s down lip as well now two kills for land
18795s in that fight maybe make it another
18798s one he gets away Li gets away with his
18801s life
18802s there space station still haven't really
18805s had any Breathing Room in this match to
18807s actually find their footing on the
18809s defense Barker though able to help give
18812s them that heent going down in that last
18815s engagement but you still have to worry
18817s about just how fast crazy raccoon are
18820s taking these fights Li is still up
18822s active waiting with an arrow for anybody
18825s thats their
18826s head oh little punch out there from Jim
18830s that sleep go off as well just trying to
18832s charge up a bigger punch oh landed that
18836s was close life flashing before his eyes
18838s right there oh land in front of J
18840s however still has the power up punch
18842s worth keeping in mind so can go for the
18844s slam play again if he wants to got a
18846s checkpoint as well space station they're
18848s kind of playing recon at their own game
18850s right now like they are the ones that
18852s are whittling down this time bank Nano
18855s punch ends up missing but he's still in
18856s the little Oney one here with hardy
18859s hardy getting pump full of heals from
18860s the low ground and jum bin trying to put
18862s a stop to it has to use that slam to get
18864s away and there you go sparle with the
18866s flank and this is why space station
18869s wanted to come to King's Row both are
18872s supports you get the nice sleep Astro
18874s should be more than
18877s fine they've been playing way better
18879s around some of these flanker options
18881s from raccoon even though hottie was the
18884s point of focus for this doomfist from
18886s junen kept him busy well he put that
18889s trust in sparker and psycho to clean up
18891s the rest of Li he's saying lip now on
18894s the
18896s Tracer so many ultimates there for space
18898s station look they
18899s got duplication from heang double Tracer
18902s now off on this High Ground sparker
18905s easily taking care of it though as he
18906s sang dashed out the window 100 HP
18908s fighting Astro not suffering a death
18910s there slips away it's actually once
18913s again Shu that goes down a big kill for
18915s a sparker again and a sound bario is
18917s going to keep them in this
18920s fight faith in one's own destiny can be
18922s a powerful thing one minute to go is
18925s crazy raccoons unable to crack the space
18928s station defense and they find lip to
18931s huge cuz now they're in sub one minute
18932s territory it's space station they only
18934s needed two of those ultimates in that
18935s last fight to be able to get the job
18937s done so they get to hold on to this
18938s annihilation in some of these more
18940s critical moments where jum has this
18942s meteor strike unnecessarily the best
18944s engagement tool that we've seen here for
18946s this
18948s composition final fight potentially on
18950s our hands as crazy raccoon they make
18951s another approach to the space station do
18955s have to be very careful though only 33%
18957s that is required they're set their SCE
18958s on Shu once again but he sank going to
18961s level the playing field here Shu going
18963s down is not a good start good punch from
18965s jumin ends Landon's life it's a scrappy
18968s one but psycho Hardy and Astro are alive
18971s and well and with an Annihilation and no
18973s more CDs left jumin has to get out of
18976s there he puts up the power block finding
18978s a few shots in but with only 5 Seconds
18980s to go there still has to be a touch
18982s jumin does manage to get here in time
18984s but there's three ultimates remaining
18985s for space station a pul on the floor
18987s from lip and it ends up missing and anab
18989s on to jump it but he misses the punch
18991s and what can he do now what possibly has
18993s he got left again on to land is one
18995s thing but you still have to deal with
18997s sparker in the back he s his Center to
18999s find the execution but doesn't get there
19001s in time but it is jumping that turns it
19005s around so close for Space Station to be
19008s able to get that hold and keep
19010s themselves in this series for Landon
19013s even coming back on the KIRO able to get
19014s back there faster giving some healing
19016s over toad he was still so low when he
19018s had to actually go for the annihilation
19020s to keep them up with that defense but
19023s they still have a chance here they
19025s Whittle away so much time on that bang
19027s the crazy raccoon only have 2 minutes
19029s now to try to get to that orange box of
19031s Victory don't have a lot to work with
19032s either take a look at lip already for
19035s the psycho
19036s jeel he used fake last in the hangs in
19038s the balance here rose with 2 minutes to
19042s go not a lot of time you saw how much
19044s crazy Ru are able to stall out space
19046s station
19047s before keeping the rest of his team
19049s alive amping it up speeding heals make
19051s sure hard stays alive here in the front
19053s line J and crazy and raccoon look at the
19056s ultimat coming up now Nano blade could
19058s be on the menu to end it all just a
19061s normal one if he's feeling spicy enough
19063s and Astro doesn't have the sound barrier
19064s yet so it could be devastating in this
19066s next
19067s fight CH to a very aggressive dive
19070s straight onto the backline blade it's
19071s been pulled as well where's the lamp
19073s Spar hits the high no the beat comes in
19075s he can the hu just in time but he s get
19077s nothing with this blade crazy raccoon
19080s they've got a nano and a doomfist all
19082s coming in the space station refusing to
19084s go down without a fight here meteor
19086s strike into the backline sparker in
19088s trouble yet again you can see the focus
19090s sparker Astro down and jump in with the
19092s Nano he getting duped out by Landon here
19095s but he still got it he still got that
19097s slam coming up but there's the execution
19099s kill only a couple more meters to go now
19102s with space station they're going to
19103s switch over to the Sim to get the TP out
19106s they're going to get one more touch
19107s they're going to need that touch really
19109s quickly too and it might just be the
19110s last fight that we have because if crazy
19113s raccoon win this one here they're going
19115s to be moving on to the finals and send
19117s space station home
19120s Annihilation coming up for hard as well
19123s they got to push in the 25 seconds to go
19126s he's coming down to the wire Europe's
19128s Hope and Dreams here hanging in the
19131s balance Shu playing at such a disgusting
19134s angle as well they have to spam him out
19136s otherwise Anna can just get free reain
19138s of NAD sleeps in pretty much every you
19139s want n lobed in hits Astro but it's the
19142s only one 10 seconds to go and overtime
19144s will definitely tick over here but the
19146s annihilation from Hardy might be a to
19148s keep them in this fight a punch off of
19151s The High Ground there on top of the
19152s payload they're just trying to get out
19154s of the line of sight here so it doesn't
19156s last for eternity jumin's the only one
19158s there but hean goes down now Sho in
19159s trouble psycho with the post bom an easy
19162s kill for the Tracer you have thought but
19164s no sleep he gets the sleeper CH gets the
19167s clean up like a 4 ton tumble weed CH
19170s comes in and saves the day it's only a
19173s couple of seconds left and both sound
19174s barriers are thrown out juming goes down
19177s to a turret but that overhal is tring
19179s away and then Nano onto the Tracer now a
19182s perfect stick onto the tank no way had
19185s he survives that and funny Astro the
19187s last to stand and psycho the last always
19190s to fall crazy raccoons they get their
19193s chance of Revenge as they make their way
19195s to the Grand
19200s finals these Korean teams have been
19203s they're just built
19205s different even in those last final
19207s moments it looked like
19209s space station they might have done it
19211s but they never let up they never gave up
19215s in those final moments either in raccoon
19218s they just kept putting the pressure and
19219s the pressure and the pressure mounting
19221s until it was able to boil over and
19223s result in this victory for this Allstar
19226s Squad but wow space station gaming what
19228s an incredible journey that they've had
19230s so far here at the dream hack Dallas
19232s major you know that this is not the last
19234s time you're going to get a chance to see
19235s this team compete the crazy raccoon
19237s right now are going to be Standing Tall
19240s and get their chance at
19245s Revenge crazy raccoon get it done and
19249s they get an opportunity to get in a
19252s Revenge match against team Falcon which
19254s we will be setting up in just a bit but
19255s thir things first we have to break down
19257s the action we just saw and quite frankly
19259s heading into Kings Row we were like okay
19261s you know go out with a bag sen your
19263s comfort zone Reinhardt that's not what
19266s we got to see from SSG instead they were
19269s actively trying they tried to counter
19272s they played the right compositions into
19274s what we saw from crazy raccoon who just
19276s kept on the aggression and that Tempo
19280s but honestly they put up a really good
19282s fight against them that was so close
19284s there were one tiny pick or team fight
19286s even away from actually winning out
19288s Kings Ro yeah I think honestly this is
19290s such huge mental progress for space
19292s station gaming that you know in the past
19294s I thought you know they're going to
19295s Kings Row maybe they will bring out the
19296s r but for me that that would have been a
19298s little disappoint wining right it's it
19299s is what the fans want to see but it's
19301s also giving up I mean strategically it's
19303s done if you go Ry for me it's done but
19306s they kept fighting and they very nearly
19308s won it multiple times almost brought us
19310s back on Kings Row almost forced a fourth
19312s map in the series really making crazy
19314s raccoon sweat and that just shows space
19316s station gaming they're here to really
19318s fight for the title they're not
19319s satisfied with just being the kings of
19321s Europe they want that Global Victory and
19324s I'm really excited to we see more from
19326s this team in Esports World Cup yeah
19328s amazing for space station to finish
19329s third here in the old WCS major of
19333s course uh but you know there was a lot
19335s of talk going into this tournament there
19337s was some hype after the scrims there was
19339s some banter back and forth we got some
19341s amazing video interviews I got a pretty
19343s Grim statistic for you folks Korea went
19346s 15 and0 in maps against Na and EMA so
19350s after all that talk 1 15 Z and one 15 Z
19354s and one after kevster kevster back up on
19357s the Bonnie oh that's uh maybe maybe next
19361s time we could win a map guys I mean this
19364s is the level as I've been watching you
19365s know the Asia region in owcs I've been
19368s just feeling this I I kind of felt this
19369s might happen um coming into the major
19371s the level is so high there's so many
19374s competitive teams we are seeing the top
19375s two teams from Asia but realistically
19378s there are four or five teams very near
19380s this level I mean this you can't be
19382s understated how incredibly powerful
19384s these squads are how effective their
19386s play is like many players have said you
19388s can't prepare for this with other
19389s regions this is just a different level
19390s let's be real like we've said this many
19392s times in the past but I don't think
19393s we've said it so far this event really
19394s Le the first day but like these might be
19397s two of the best rusters ever assembled
19400s in OverWatch Esports going into 2024
19402s both team Falcons but also crazy raccoon
19405s these rosters are stacked like we've
19407s almost never seen before in OverWatch
19409s League either one of these teams could
19410s have swept some OverWatch League
19411s champions I mean that's that's
19413s ridiculous it's it's two Aventure teams
19415s not one but two so it's a little unfair
19418s to go up against I do have to say though
19420s there were definitely moments where the
19423s na teams or like EMA teams they had the
19426s right idea uh but of course the
19429s compositional differences we've seen
19431s from those two regions or from three
19433s regions rather that has played a big
19435s part and that's one part of this new
19437s format right like they are logged into
19440s those different regions they they're
19441s developing different kind of metas and
19443s then here is where it's all coming to a
19445s big clash and this time around it was
19448s Asian region to come out on top a lot of
19451s that of course not just the compet
19453s compositions they're running it's the
19455s individuals those so many Star players
19457s in both of those teams and one of them
19461s has played Above the Rest that's why
19464s he's getting out partial performance of
19466s the match heang earned the honor
19470s standout for the last couple of days for
19473s his team he's saying I think has really
19475s come on to so many players Radars in the
19477s last year or two his performance
19479s continues to climb higher and higher as
19481s he challenges for being one of the very
19484s best flex players on the planet insane
19486s individual mechanics insane on every
19488s hero he touches and such a huge monster
19490s we talked so much about lip in this
19492s crazy raccoon Squad and I think that
19494s really under is is is undeserved for he
19496s saying he deserves a lot of credit for
19497s the success of the squad his flexibility
19500s enables crazy raccoon to constantly have
19502s the edge because he's just so good on
19504s everything he plays and it's an
19505s incredible sof plot going into the grand
19507s finals as well because last year he
19509s saying was a rookie going into the
19510s Europe watch League Of course that time
19512s he paired up alongside proper from team
19514s Falcons of course that time on the
19516s Francisco shot and so now you know
19518s another stand on performance from him
19519s here in the POR performance of the match
19521s but now in qualifying for the grand
19523s finals you go again head-to-head against
19526s team Falcons and you get to square off
19528s against proper who was your teammate
19530s last year before he sarted way and
19532s joined the vancou Titans two players
19534s with pretty similar hero pools and play
19536s Styles they couldn't yel together they
19539s couldn't get the most out of each other
19540s together now instead they're going
19541s head-to-head in another grand finals
19543s here at the owcs major and I love that
19545s it's so many good story lines coming
19547s into it and also another thing to be
19548s said about he Sang's performance here
19550s today thus far in their previous match
19553s against Falcons and in this very match
19554s against SSG to be able to become the
19557s standout player on the same server like
19560s great such as proper all lip in his own
19562s team usually like in the past he's will
19565s go under the radar now he's the one
19567s who's actually having this spotlights on
19569s him and it's so welld deserved and
19571s that's why he walked away with our
19573s partial performance of the match now of
19575s course the teams are already getting
19577s ready for the action in The Grand Final
19579s let one more time take a look at our
19581s brackets to see how we got there two
19585s gring days of matches L to be played for
19589s all of these teams uh let's walk us
19591s through the action how did we end up
19593s with this Grand Final well the CR teams
19596s didn't lose except to each other I think
19598s that really the story here that was a
19599s great mat that was a great mat final uh
19603s seriously and I expect some serious
19604s fireworks as crazy raccoon honestly in
19606s that last match against space station
19608s they were angry they want to go they
19611s don't want to mess around they don't
19612s want to drop a map they want to go
19613s straight back against Falcons in the
19615s Grand Final taking another swing I mean
19618s I can say a lot of things Falcons came
19620s out on top but crazy raccoon was not
19622s scared they played with aggression and
19624s Poise throughout that whole series they
19626s really want a world championship they
19628s beat before they know they could do it
19630s again yeah and I mean there's more
19631s adaptations to be made right we talked
19632s about the last winner bracket final tons
19634s of adaptations throughout the series we
19636s thought okay maybe you know we're going
19638s to see crazy raccoon do something
19639s different here in the winner bracket
19640s final at the end of the day it turned
19642s out that they were really comfortable
19643s playing the MAA Falcons come back in
19645s that series with some adjustments to
19646s their Venture play so I don't think
19648s we've seen the end of adaptations
19649s between these two teams going into the
19651s Grand Final I can't wait to see what you
19653s know some of our top tier coaches as
19654s well has hooked up for their players
19656s absolutely and it's going to be a best
19658s of seven so first to four more OverWatch

19982s not what you guys did today but sorry
19985s was the only trans my and listen every
19987s once in a while you just got to
19989s but I felt like a winner watching you
19990s guys play because quite frankly it's
19992s just so so darn entertaining you guys
19994s have such a distinct style and you
19996s always had a distinct style throughout
19999s the last two stages it's been it's been
20000s incredible to watch your team perform
20003s how how do you feel about your
20004s performance you come third in this first
20006s International competition I mean to be
20007s honest we wanted to be a Korean team but
20010s we'll have to take being best in the
20012s west it's fine it was it was so close
20014s though was so
20016s close yeah that last map of Kings Row
20019s you know I think some of us on the desk
20020s were talking oh they picked Kings Row
20021s are they going to play Ry and you know I
20023s was like yeah it might happen but I
20024s would have been a little disappointed I
20025s was really happy to see the sigma coming
20027s out that you guys did not give up I mean
20028s I think it speaks to the sort of new
20030s mission of this team it's it's beyond
20032s just winning Europe being the best at
20033s rush it's you know wanting to take it to
20035s the very best teams in the world what
20037s has it been like inside of the team as
20038s far as like coming through that
20039s transformation winning the last stage in
20041s Europe coming into this tournament and
20042s now looking ahead to the Esports World
20044s Cup to be honest the team atmosphere is
20046s great like everyone loves hadti when
20048s he's on Ryan but he's great at
20049s everything yeah I mean where every time
20052s he picks Ryan the crowd just goes wild
20054s so it's so hard not to just pick it at
20056s every
20057s opportunity so I'm glad we managed to
20059s pick like Sigma in the end it it felt
20062s good on Kings Row and I was glad that we
20063s managed to give it like one final shot
20065s when you're trying to strategize against
20067s some of these really good Korean teams
20068s of course you know they're playing a lot
20070s of MAA and stuff like that but like what
20071s are the discussions internally like what
20073s what's the mentality going into the
20075s series was there anything you ever felt
20076s at some point was like this could be
20078s answer did you feel confident at some
20079s point picking against them we felt like
20081s we had the answer with the sigma comp to
20083s be honest but when we went into our
20085s first match against Falcons on that
20086s first ilos round we got like we got
20088s rolled pretty hard and then we just like
20092s we we thought we had to Pivot away from
20093s the sigma or I think maybe we should
20095s have stuck with it um it was pretty hard
20098s to prepare for cuz we thought we were
20099s going to play Falcons to be honest it
20102s was a surprise we were against crazy RS
20104s I think it was a surprise for crazy RS
20106s as well they didn't expect roll through
20108s that upper bracket but it shall not be
20110s so I'm glad you're here because we about
20113s to chat about this matchup you played
20115s against both teams so we're going to get
20116s the download from you in person but also
20119s we got an opportunity to sit down with
20121s the coach from team Falcons let's hear
20122s what they have to
20124s say hey what's up everybody Danny limb
20126s here I got a special interview here uh
20128s with Coach crusty from team Falcons
20131s coach crusty thank you for joining me
20132s for this really quick interview I mean I
20135s saw you running up on stage as soon as
20137s your team won what made you so happy
20139s about your win well as was being a gamer
20141s you know you love winning right but
20144s that's all you know it's not it's not
20146s over till it's all over right so just I
20150s was just happy that we won right I mean
20152s also to add on that because I mean crazy
20154s raccoons did uh win in the Asia uh uh I
20157s guess uh finals as well and
20160s unfortunately you guys did lose that
20161s time but now the results were different
20163s did that make you even more happier you
20165s know actually lean just always sweet
20168s right I love lean you know I mean always
20171s even like I was in League before I love
20173s lean and we prepare we prepare a lot for
20176s this right so well but you know we're g
20179s to see till the end right so I mean your
20181s your preparation did show in your match
20183s against crazy raccoons now coach you
20185s guys are heading into the grand finals
20187s who do you think is going to be your
20188s opponent for the grand finals
20190s match
20192s SSG why why well how is a chatty hot
20198s chaty that is it for the interview coach
20199s thank you so much good luck in the grand
20201s finals okay back to you
20203s soe thank you so much well that one
20205s didn't
20206s H they expected to meet you guys in the
20209s Grand Final is that a confident boost to
20211s hear that yeah I I mean I don't know how
20214s serious he's
20215s being uh but it's it's nice words from
20219s crusty yeah obviously obviously that was
20222s done before the match so you know no
20225s harm no harm from from crusty of course
20227s but I mean all jokes Asad you know
20229s crossy has done a phenomenal job with
20230s this roster as well coming up with his
20231s solution as well with a double Flex
20233s damage composition they have going with
20235s ma adventure and Genji of course you
20236s know it was one trick of their sleeve
20238s because Falcons they've been dominated
20239s so far over in the Asia region crazy
20241s raccoon has had the edge right so now
20243s Falcons are on top and like curas
20245s mentioned earlier on the desk you come
20247s from the winner bracket you get that
20248s first map pick right so that's going to
20250s be an advantage here for Falcons going
20251s into this first M pick and you have to
20253s play those back-to-back matches so uh
20256s they definitely have their work cut out
20258s for them they came into this tournament
20259s very confident of course Danny and I
20261s actually had an opportunity to sit down
20263s with them prior to all the actions
20265s starting so let's hear what they had to
20269s say y what's good everyone Zoe here and
20272s Danny here and uh we're joined by crazy
20275s raccoons so who raccoons yeah love
20278s raccoons great animal great
20281s animal great team as well you guys are
20284s killing it obviously heading into this
20286s tournament everyone considers both the
20289s Korean teams to be the top they're the
20291s ones with the Target on their back how
20293s do you feel about the other regions how
20294s do you feel about the na teams and
20307s Thea so I mean it does it does seem like
20310s you guys have a lot of confidence like
20312s where does that confidence come
20315s from teamwork teamwork
20318s okay so when the team was formed though
20320s were you worried about any of the
20322s players was there anyone you guys
20324s trouble yeah yeah who who are you guys
20326s worried about in your own
20329s team oh shoot you have someone who
20333s who he
20346s said fore
20385s we're doing one final question yeah
20387s which which is the craziest raccoon I
20389s think craziest raccoon yeah out of all
20391s the raccoons
20395s okay three two one
20399s pick we have a clear winner Jing got
20402s four votes wow congratulations
20406s y wow
20411s wow can can you craziest
20417s raccoon you guys are in Texas Texas uh
20420s we want you to do a Texas
20430s accent
20434s together how
20439s thank
20443s you you it it kind of this this cut
20447s makes it sound like in the edit that
20449s Danny and I try to steer drama within
20451s their Che I was like what is happening
20454s they cut out half of this was bad in try
20458s outs what is happening I mean uh
20461s obviously we had a lot of fun uh during
20462s that media day uh it's been good times
20465s also very impressive text and actions
20467s across the boards in your team as well
20468s so that's something you practice in your
20470s free time uh not regularly not regularly
20472s naturally okay just casually every once
20474s in a while uh interesting to hear from
20476s them uh obviously prior to the match
20478s it's funny to see how those kind of
20479s interviews age uh let's talk about the
20482s performance we've seen from a crazy
20484s raccoon thus far obviously the last
20487s match they played against Falcons was
20489s very very very close they seem to have
20491s the answer to that double Flex DPS they
20494s are dropping in that Genji enabling lip
20497s on that H skan uh to just have free
20500s range yeah did you watch that series
20503s funny as was there anything you've
20504s learned from like the winter backet
20505s final cuz you were waiting for your
20506s opponent what do you think was the
20507s difference between those two teams if
20509s you if you watch the match well I think
20511s crazy raccoons just put on more pressure
20512s to be honest like their DPS just seem to
20514s do more damage um yeah I mean I I'm not
20518s really sure how Falcons won to be
20520s honest I mean for me I I saw that first
20523s match against an um with Falcons and I
20526s just felt man no hits like hitan is dead
20528s for that for this comp like the the the
20530s pressure that Genji and Venture can put
20532s on together I think really throws a
20534s spanner the works so hard to just live
20536s lip has been the only one who's even
20538s made it look possible I think he's Genji
20540s was actually crucial in threatening the
20543s enemy batist I think the batist was
20545s something big in Falcon's pocket there
20546s to bring out the greedier Flex support
20548s that puts more damage down expecting
20550s heang to play far but when he came out
20552s of the Genji I thought maybe they had an
20553s answer Falcons though bringing it back
20555s in the end I think these teams are going
20556s to have to bring new look new
20558s adaptations because they just got a very
20559s very good taste of what each other can
20561s bring yeah and one talking point we had
20563s throughout the winner back finals was
20564s actually that we saw that team Falcons
20566s they tended to play more batist whereas
20568s crazy raccoon they prefer to have lip on
20569s the hit scan roll and then sh play a lot
20571s of more KIRO going into this match up
20573s between those two teams do you have a
20574s preference in the MAA composition
20576s between the batist and the KIRO I think
20579s the K's better especially with um MAA on
20581s the board being able just to suzu every
20583s time someone's burning it's a huge
20584s difference in like stopping damage the
20587s Drone doesn't feel as good KIRO is
20589s obviously like an insane or it's able to
20591s win so many more team fights so I think
20593s that that's how we felt and then even
20595s more impressive that Fielder and Falcons
20596s was able to turn around of course so we
20599s have to see what they're going to do I
20600s mean they still brought out the Kiri at
20601s the very end that's what I was worried
20602s about I thought okay are they locked
20603s into this B is this going to cost them
20605s especially against Genji stalker with
20608s Incredible flexibility looking like the
20609s best Venture so far in the tournament
20611s still a hero we're only just starting to
20613s see in the Pro meta and already I think
20615s it's really shaken things up so many
20617s more of to play with I mean it's funny
20619s that when you're pushing uh stalker off
20621s the Venture then he just gets to play
20623s Tracer which is equally scary so yeah
20625s not much of a change right there uh
20627s Smurf of course has been playing lights
20630s out as well generally this team has
20632s surprised a lot of people they were
20633s considered to be the second best team
20635s and that are coming out on top I mean
20637s are you going to bet against proper
20639s though like this guy on the Genji might
20641s be best in the world he's saying took it
20643s to him he's saying made this very very
20645s competitive but proper I mean is's a
20647s reason he won Rookie of the Year and MVP
20650s in his first season an unheard of
20652s accomplishment in OverWatch is is there
20654s one player in particular you looking out
20655s for funny Astro that like you think
20657s could be like the Difference Maker here
20658s in the grand finals I think for me it's
20660s got to be lip um having that hit scan if
20662s if they can keep him alive they can
20664s pocket him through all of this pressure
20666s then he can carry them is there a world
20668s is there anything they could do in order
20671s to actually force him off of that hit
20673s skin I think that's why they stick to
20675s this sort of venture Genji style they
20677s really want to put the pressure on they
20678s want to keep him low keep him like shut
20681s down as much as possible all in keep
20682s diving him keep pressuring lip but if
20685s they crazy raccoon's supports can find a
20687s way to keep him alive that that'll be
20689s their win
20691s condition well it is a rematch uh
20694s Falcons won the first one the big
20695s question is can they do it again and
20698s snatch this Crown let's take a look at
20700s our predictions for this one I I think
20703s we're going to see the same thing again
20704s quite frankly I do think Falcons just
20707s have a really really good read and
20708s although I do think that crazy raccoon's
20710s aggression and uh their Tempo is is so
20715s difficult to deal with Falcons got them
20717s they got them downloaded this is this is
20718s Falcons game to win what about you funny
20720s estro I think it's going to go to the
20722s crazy raccoons I think they just have
20724s too much pressure they comeback I love
20726s that I think they won Grand finals in
20728s APAC and they're going to do it again
20731s you know I've got to go with the Falcons
20732s here as much as I think crazy raccoon
20734s they they were they had that last test
20736s can the hit scan work I feel like
20737s Falcons made the crucial adaptation on
20739s the last map on 66 they started bringing
20741s out the KIRO I think heang Genji is
20743s going to fall flat when there's no
20745s target for Genji to dive no one to
20747s actually easily solo kill maybe he goes
20749s back to the far but I think the Batista
20750s answers that and I think fielders
20752s flexibility is going to be crucial and I
20753s think it's maybe even going to be more
20755s one-sided now that Falcons is sort of
20757s seeing what crazy raccoon can bring that
20758s surprise Genji not a surprise anymore
20761s yeah I actually think it's going to be a
20762s Falcons 41 I think it's going to be even
20764s more one7 in the grand finals you know
20766s first of all you know we're playing a
20767s grand final here now Falcons they got
20769s some rest you know and especially Atlant
20770s as well you got some sustenance you were
20771s able to go get food for example czy
20773s raccoons very little time in between to
20774s get ready for this finals matchup but I
20776s also feel like Falcons kind of figured
20777s out and they brought a style that we
20779s haven't really yet Seen Crazy raccoon
20781s figure out right where we actually see
20782s that Falcons they're slowing things down
20784s they have their Venture play a lot
20785s around their MAA instead and lip doesn't
20787s really get that much value from the Cy
20789s so eager to see more adaptations but I
20790s actually think it's going to be even
20791s more one-sided with Falcons taking it in
20793s a 4-1
20795s oh waa okay there's no way is that made
20799s up that's crazy okay what about the
20801s audience in here let's hear it for crazy
20806s raccoon okay that's pretty loud okay
20808s let's hear it for team
20812s Falcons okay the little Falcons Edge
20815s there close pretty close 55 45
20818s Falcons okay well I guess we're going
20820s with the 50/50 then one thing's for sure
20822s both of these teams will play their
20825s hearts out on this stage and try to get
20828s this first owcs championship title let's
20831s see which one will come out on top and
20834s we're getting started right now right
20838s here Make some noise it's crazy raccoon
20842s and team
20844s Falcons our two Titans of the OverWatch
20847s World lock horns once again the Earth is
20850s about to shake folks who will stand tall
20853s here in this Battle of
20855s Giants so there's a reset available
20857s another one score he's SP from DOD holds
20860s onto his sound barer
20862s until ready filthy Stu not even close
20869s baby these players are no strangers to
20872s crushing dreams one of the strongest
20874s rosters ever assembled they are
20877s absolutely terrifying
20885s [Music]
20900s [Music]
20916s dream Dallas it's time to meet your
20918s grand finalist introducing your first
20920s team it's lip heang jumin Cho Chu and
20925s head coach Moon everybody give it up for
20927s crazy
20932s raccoons their
20935s [Music]
20938s opponents everybody give it up for
20941s proper stalker Smurf Fielder CH and
20946s coach cross the ladies and gentlemen
20949s it's team
20956s [Music]
20961s Falcons coach Moon coach crusty fist
20965s bump
20970s please that works as well all right
20973s everybody let's get this show started
20974s let's go
20978s Pi thank you very much Danny
20981s Championship Sunday is coming to an end
20983s but not before we Crown a
20986s champion crazy raccoon versus team
20989s Falcons taking the stage now here it's
20992s almost like the script has written
20993s itself that it is faded that these two
20995s teams get a chance to play against each
20998s other once again it will be the fourth
21000s time that these teams have faced each
21002s other in not only the main event for
21005s Asia but now here at dream hack Dallas
21008s but it's worth time the charm for either
21009s of these teams yeah a title match on the
21012s line here I mean look Falcons they may
21015s have done it earlier kind of with Astro
21017s on the desk if I'm very honest with you
21019s I got a feeling crazy Runa going to come
21021s out with something absolutely
21022s spectacular but this will be their third
21024s match they already had two back to back
21027s they're stepping into a third one now
21029s well and truly warmed up yeah today
21032s today it's already so tough to have to
21034s play one two official matches but this
21037s will be the third one and it is
21040s hopefully going to be the one that's
21042s able to make them stand above the rest
21044s but as death we calling out team Falcons
21046s they get a chance to have a little bit
21047s of a breather they get a chance to maybe
21050s just relax themselves feel confident
21052s after their impressive upset just a
21055s little bit
21057s ago you got to wonder where the heads of
21061s crazy raccoon are currently at right now
21063s of course Johnny mentioned it too like a
21064s little bit exhaustion is probably
21066s kicking in as well I mean Falcons had
21068s the ability to kind of watch that
21069s previous match or even just go over the
21072s match they just played against crazy
21074s raccoon to find any sort of small
21076s weakness any sort of uh flaw that they
21079s can take advantage of and it's going to
21082s be tough to find both of these teams are
21084s just so star studded everybody a roll
21086s star at one point or another during
21088s their time in the OverWatch league and
21091s now coming together to form super teams
21093s on either side everybody heading into
21095s the dream hack Dallas Main event touted
21098s both of these teams as the teams to beat
21100s and they made that happen they've
21102s knocked out every other team in their
21104s road to get here and now they have to
21106s knock one of each other out at the very
21108s end of it all I think that was one of
21110s the craziest things coming into this new
21112s year into owcs was how are the Korean
21115s players going to form these teams like
21117s what are the teams going to look like is
21118s it going to be a very topheavy region is
21120s one team going to dominate is a two
21122s three teams going to dominate cuz we
21124s knew that at some point a super team
21126s would be
21127s formed can one of them prove that they
21129s are the top Dogs coming out I mean crazy
21133s raccoon they've already come off of a 3
21134s o and quite a convincing 30 against
21137s space station I mean the Asia region
21139s well and truly number one at this point
21142s EU number two na sitting in that lowly
21144s third
21146s spot you can even see the score line
21149s right there
21150s though crazy raccoon is 2-1 in matches
21153s currently but it was team Falcons that
21155s got the upset in a very very close five
21157s map Series in the winner finals death's
21160s talking about something really important
21161s from this team Falcons roster which is
21163s that not only have they had a really
21165s good read on the meta being able to pull
21167s out this Venture this Genji side by side
21170s but also making some really critical
21171s adjustments in their support lineup to
21173s pick out a KIRO over a Baptist see if
21177s they can continue to make these small
21178s adjustments that will help them out with
21179s that macro game plan heading into this
21181s Grand finals the Asia teams of course
21184s you just saw there undefeated against Na
21187s and
21189s EMA only one can lay their hands on the
21192s trophy though first to four format two
21194s not first to three now so we'll be
21196s definitely going the distance if we find
21198s a little repeat here could go all the
21200s way to seven very very classic finish
21203s I'm you know hoping it's not a clean
21205s sweep but the way both of the teams have
21207s been playing especially in their head to
21208s head earlier on I don't think it's going
21210s to be a 3 0 it's going to be a nail
21211s biting finish I mean these coaches are
21213s so smart for either team and they've
21215s been able to play this warat before four
21217s maybe something that gave him a bit of a
21219s leg up in this competition knowing that
21220s we switched a format so the loser gets
21222s to pick not only the map but the map
21225s type so we don't have a set order of
21227s destinations where we're going to go
21229s yeah and that's a that's a big switch up
21230s too like coming into a format like that
21233s you can really just like I said the
21236s weaknesses they can be exploited you
21237s don't like using these comps will'll
21239s take you a map where you have to use
21241s those comps but I think it's about time
21243s we get in ladies and gentlemen our grand
21246s finals here at dream hack Dallas is
21250s about to get
21252s underway crazy
21254s raccoon versus team Falcons so first to
21258s four and we're starting on
21262s Oasis last time these teams played this
21265s map it did go to the way of team Falcons
21267s being able to be in the winner side of
21269s the bracket means they got a chance to
21270s pick this map and kick things off maybe
21273s with a Repeat Performance and win on
21275s this map and map type but as we get
21277s these doors ready to open crowd we want
21279s to hear you let's count it
21286s down and they're off Nowa compositions
21290s on both sides team Falcons leaning into
21292s this dangerous DPS Duo of that Genji and
21294s that Venture able to get the better of
21296s maybe this crazy raccoon backline but
21298s shu is actually going to be on the CUO
21300s might not be as easy of an answer here
21302s to try to nail somebody in the
21305s back quick High Ground take there from
21307s crazy
21308s raccoon and try and set lip up and what
21311s Jake was kind of touching on the test
21312s too was this double
21314s Flex Falcons were on it a second ago but
21316s proper now jumping over to Tracer
21318s instead no Genji here can imagine we'll
21321s see that a little bit later on those
21323s cardiac over drives already being poed
21325s by the malgas a dash out for Smurf goes
21327s a little bit too low nice move from Chon
21329s moving the enemy Lucio in but there is
21331s the first PL and is on to lift he sank
21334s false right behind him
21337s a crazy rou taking that High Ground
21339s first but he haven't got the Shi
21341s Firepower that team Falcons have going
21344s to be an immediate switch from lip there
21346s to head over to the Cassidy Soldier
21349s maybe not finding nearly as much impact
21350s as they would want and in fact another
21352s switch up he's saying going over to the
21354s Tracer as well this is a DPS lineup
21356s we've seen before have some Major Impact
21359s onto some of these backline support
21361s especially when the felder's going to be
21362s playing that Baptist how about how you
21365s get in there singing jumping have to
21367s play together on trying to get these
21368s eliminations Rob's done so much damage
21370s already already's got pul which is quite
21373s terrifying early lamp from Fielder a
21375s little bit more safe now filer stepping
21376s up the lamp's not down just yet but lip
21379s managed to snipe it enabling heang to
21381s get that kill shio with the sound
21383s barrier in 5% amping up on the point
21385s earns the Beats manages to get it off to
21388s just helping prop secure these kills now
21389s as he chases his like for like in churon
21391s who's still got the sound bar here of
21393s his own has to use it but it's only a
21395s Twan F Lucio Trac is on the point right
21397s now the
21399s Venture he you got to be serious a stick
21404s onto the Venture they sell Sky High but
21407s shio is still
21408s living and with Smurf coming back to the
21410s point to receive that L that's a lot of
21413s extra percent survivability that was
21415s insane from
21420s zins proper might have uh dced there off
21424s Su cuz my guy was walking the
21429s wall don't worry we'll get it back
21431s underway we got the PO out now okay come
21434s on we we had a good day yesterday we had
21436s a good day today we were too for a pause
21439s at some
21441s point that last fight was crazy you had
21444s both both of our Lucio players Chu and
21447s Chong actually used the sound barrier in
21449s those moments two man for both of the
21451s players only able to net just a little
21455s bit more saying there
21458s for our team of team Falcons but yeah I
21462s mean if that beat comes a little bit
21463s earlier there maybe you save your malga
21466s soon the malga kind of rotates the coold
21467s down that cardiac overdrive so strong
21469s especially with the Tracer to does so
21470s much damage it's hard to lock down a
21472s tracer but with that low Health pull
21474s like you're healing so much if you're
21476s getting up in the face of people it's
21477s very hard to take the Tracer down
21478s normally even harder now with the cardak
21481s overdrive but it's also just really good
21483s to make sure that you were just still
21484s able to stall out your control control
21486s of that control point cuz that netted
21488s them so much extra percentage they're at
21490s 55% now to capturing that very first
21494s objective it's all in good way to be
21496s able to give yourself some confidence
21498s heading into this
21499s match and exactly that's you need that
21501s confidence too of course getting up on
21503s stage again everybody to be fair is uh
21506s very well versed of being up on that
21508s stage in front of a crowd everybody play
21510s and noises clapping everything right
21512s cheering at every single kill is just
21514s getting a word in now props PC having a
21516s a little bit of a malfunction but uh we
21518s should get that sorted in just a moment
21521s in fact maybe even shorter than that I
21522s think about 20 seconds or so be back in
21525s to this first map going to uh of course
21528s with Oasis I was I was curious if we
21531s were going to see the Genji here it's
21532s very easy to kind of assail The High
21534s Ground but the traces are so strong
21535s especially being able to fight around
21537s the main pillar like you can stay alive
21539s for so long especially with Lucio to the
21541s ability to stall is just so nice for
21543s those very mobile heroes geni a little
21545s bit less so of course has to get resets
21547s for the dash and a little bit more
21548s vulnerable especially after use that
21550s deflect that's what the desk was talking
21551s about is that the Genji how does it
21553s actually play into a team that's going
21554s to lean a little bit more into the CUO a
21557s Swift step away and it's harder to
21559s actually find a Target to get those Dash
21561s resets as well as his
21563s pcks oh prop has got his headset back on
21567s looking
21568s good should be getting into the game in
21570s just a
21572s moment he's getting uh just look at the
21574s lobby screen as well jumping back in I
21577s think cuz he um ended up disconnecting
21578s there I not sure if he's going to retain
21580s the AL charge I'm not sure what he was
21582s on the pulse one but worth keeping in
21585s mind and uh yeah I'm looking as well it
21588s was malga Smurf was close to the cage
21591s there so they could go for a big engage
21592s with the
21594s cage and only the rush for shoot Dead
21596s Eye for lip is going to be nice but
21598s Against the Cage you know you kind have
21599s to walk in there but you can charge
21600s outside the cage just kind of step in
21602s and it's fine you just get the instant
21603s one shot good thing is I think proper
21606s had already used the pulse bomb so it's
21607s not something that they're actually
21608s going to be losing too much value on in
21611s terms of that ultimate charge and it's
21613s also proper we're going to be able to
21614s see him charge up another one pretty
21616s quickly here but even still we are
21618s actually going to see copper lean into
21620s this Genji as he rolls back into the
21622s server not worry too much about the fact
21625s that shu is going to be on this CUO
21627s looking Instead at his attention on lip
21629s on this city someone that he might be
21632s able to jump
21633s on this double F has been a long time
21636s since we seen something like this be
21638s better second a turn the
21641s almost yeah this Rush could be quite
21643s awkward to use I mean crazy raccoon they
21645s could look to try and take this High
21647s Ground back from or even just fight in
21649s this small Corridor here Oher I think oh
21653s that's definitely not movement from a a
21655s Genji God I don't think yeah I'm going
21657s to jump into another brief pause again
21661s unfortunately sorry about this
21664s folks just making sure the is is
21666s completely
21669s Fair buildt up the suspense question
21673s mark exactly yeah that's all he's doing
21676s it for is the suspense yeah he's like
21678s yeah I want to give the crowd a little
21679s something
21681s here of course not I was only joking oh
21685s they're swapping a PC out there you
21687s go should be good to rock and roll in
21690s just a
21691s moment Let's uh quickly jump in to the
21694s media day uh with team Falcons just
21697s while we get the new pc set
21704s up hi everybody Danny Lim here and I'm

21776s uh point at the player that you think is
21779s the best player on the team okay all
21781s right I'm going to count here we go
21783s three two one best player go
21787s all right all right we got some we got
21788s some Smurf okay we got proper we got two
21790s proper two two Smurf two and two okay
21795s are you pointing at me oh you're best

21800s why did you pick a he's best player
21802s Champion world champion I appreciate you
21805s thank you he's world champion do you
21807s guys like feel pressured to perform
21809s because there's so many big names in the
21811s group I don't think there's a pressure
21813s we're just just going to have fun and
21814s then be everyone how how confident are
21816s you guys that you guys could win the
21818s whole event 100% 100%

21830s going to win it all right let's see uh
21832s if that comes true team Falcons thank
21834s you so much for taking the time to do
21835s the interview and yeah let's say bye to
21837s the camera everybody thank you so much
21838s byebye you guys byebye byebye bye-bye
21842s hey guys this is crimzo and you're
21843s watching owcs
21846s [Music]
21852s that was
21853s intense spooky I mean hey if if gaming
21857s doesn't work out for any of those
21858s players acting is in the books for sure
21862s nothing beats hey Heroes but I think
21865s they're getting
21866s close what what all right all right I'll
21869s take it I'll take it it's a good line
21871s well as uh we're starting things on at
21873s this stage I want to pose a question to
21875s you guys obviously we talked about it's
21878s not OverWatch right huh it's not overwat
21881s this one no more no more not histor no
21883s more no more although you you might be
21886s able to dig in the archives to find an
21888s answer for this particular question or
21890s you just listen to your heart instead
21892s that's that's not you like you're you're
21895s a brain kind of guy Jake are you saying
21897s I'm a hard kind of guy Yes actually yeah
21899s big guy Bard that's that's reinforced
21901s for all of us uh we talked about crazy
21904s raccoon being the team which now has to
21906s play those back-to-back matches a more
21909s important thing I want to touch on here
21910s is though how very different the teams
21913s are that they're facing off against do
21915s you think Falcons might have an
21916s advantage just because they were able to
21919s prep for one particular style uh of a
21922s team versus I mean SSG and and Falcons
21925s they could be more different if they
21926s tried I mean I think what we saw the
21928s last time these teams matched up in that
21930s upper bracket final was it is a real
21932s battle on the MAA comp I think both
21934s teams recognize that is the meta this is
21936s the final answer we've had our value
21938s tests the only question is what
21940s variations will you use can lips Cassidy
21943s stand the test of the double Flex DPS um
21945s it's difficult looks like we're checking
21948s out some of the highlights from that
21949s last match I mean they played before on
21951s Oasis you know this time crazy RAC was
21954s trying to bring dive they thought they
21955s could make it work not when we just saw
21957s them load in the server Oasis no no no
21959s they're on malga they accept this is
21960s where the series will go I think heang
21963s Genji was a huge highlight for them I
21964s think this was not something that
21966s Falcons was ready for but through the
21968s series the adaptations came through and
21970s even with the batist Fielder still had
21972s the answers yeah and when you mentioned
21974s how long they're actually going to play
21976s here now soe um of course that's
21978s something that does come into play
21979s especially when you play this many maps
21981s in a row right because you know
21982s typically a scrim block when you
21984s practice you know that's sometimes you
21985s know two hours for a single team
21987s sometimes you place that back to back
21988s you got four hours of practice right but
21990s playing on stage there's an extra sense
21992s of adrenaline there's an extra sense of
21994s urgency playing on stage of course the
21995s most I ever played there was 10 maps in
21997s a row and I mean that was two series
21999s back to back a lot of energy drinks
22001s involved and let me tell you like 3
22002s hours in your energy starts to die down
22005s you just like Get over caffeinated and
22006s you start to die down a little bit the
22008s adrenaline kicks back a little bit and
22010s you have a hard time staying focused so
22011s now I mean you're crazy raccoons you
22013s already played a very intense five map
22015s series against your opponent then you
22017s have to go and play three-o against
22018s space station now if we get another long
22020s series on our hands you know this is a
22022s first to four right we can potentially
22024s see seven Maps here this is going going
22026s to be an incredible endurance test here
22029s for a team like crazy raccoon the only
22030s one that really comes to mind in Pro
22032s play you know when it comes to the O War
22033s League that was stage one in 2018 that's
22036s when we saw the lon space fire go head
22037s tohe head against New York exceler after
22039s actually playing against us Outlaws when
22040s Jake was on that team and that was an
22042s incredible test of endurance as well
22043s when you have to play like 14 12 14 maps
22046s of a course in a row like you start to
22047s see some level of play the game play
22049s starts to deteriorate because you can't
22051s just keep up you can't stay as focused
22052s right so I could definitely see the
22055s endurance here impacting crazy raccoon
22057s they're going to have to push to
22058s Absolute limits to bring this one back
22060s yeah when we get to see those long long
22063s days long long matches it starts to look
22065s like a brawl on the server as people
22067s just trying to Edge it out based on
22069s individual skills if this is where we
22072s headed though who has the upper hand as
22073s we're looking at two Superstar started
22076s teams I think strategically as long as
22078s crazy raccoon continues to lean on lip
22080s as the hit scan and and that's their
22081s strategy honestly I think that's going
22083s to make it really hard for them because
22084s with a hit scan you've got to be perfect
22086s you got to keep lip alive through all
22088s the pressure ult after ult is going to
22090s be coming hunting for this cidy every
22092s player on Falcons hunting for this cidy
22094s and you can't make any mistakes letting
22096s him drop on the other side when it comes
22098s down to you know players dying on both
22099s sides Venture and Genji they love that
22101s type of scenario where individuals can
22103s find their little bits of value can pop
22105s off as and and find picks and we talked
22107s about that how Falcons how resilient
22108s they are even losing a player they bring
22110s these fights back based on the scrappy
22112s DPS so I think Falcons not only better
22114s rested coming into the Grand Final final
22116s but with a strategy that should favor
22117s them when things get chaotic that being
22119s said I I don't want to overstate this I
22121s mean these are all veteran players none
22123s of them is new to playing on stage none
22125s of them is new to these high pressure
22126s scenarios pauses delays I don't think
22129s they're going to be phased I don't think
22131s this is crazy raccoons out of it just
22132s because okay maybe they're both
22134s experienced in these spots I really
22136s think it's going to come down to the
22136s gameplay it's going to come down to the
22137s strats yeah I mean they do have a lot of
22139s experience especially in Asia as well
22141s they do play on a stage most of the time
22142s you know it's it's it's good to be aware
22144s of the fact that when you play on stage
22145s it's not like playing like at home right
22146s it's going to be a different environment
22148s and you definitely need experience right
22149s so there are a couple of players for
22151s example on C raccoon who doesn't have
22153s the same level of stage experience for
22154s example heang he was a rookie last year
22156s didn't really have that much uh test
22158s when it comes to actually playing in the
22160s playoffs of course compared to like
22161s Smurf you know two-time OverWatch League
22163s champion you got CH and fielder I
22165s mentioned earlier they are also
22166s OverWatch League champions with the
22167s Dallas SK so they've been in Grand
22168s finals before and you know apart from
22170s the Asia Main Event a couple of these
22172s players on crazy raccoon that you know
22174s that's where you know Shu for example
22176s Flex support he's been on many of those
22177s situations before for crazy raccoon he
22179s has won stage Sals with LA gladers you
22182s know he can bring that experience and
22183s you know tell he's saying for example
22184s you know if you feel uncomfortable like
22185s I can make you feel better you know give
22187s that kind of like veteran support right
22188s that is going to be required in this
22190s series because playing in a grand final
22192s is an incredibly different vibe from any
22194s other stage match and very different
22195s from hanging at home it is indeed and I
22198s think a really really great point that
22200s necra brought up just a few minutes ago
22202s is of course also the vat is different
22205s here on this this event for all teams
22207s but the Asian teams they are familiar
22210s with uh having to pick not just the map
22213s uh itself but also the map type in their
22216s most recent match just two matches ago
22218s they did manage to like push that escort
22221s map way out of sight do you expect to
22223s see the same strategy from both of those
22225s teams again or do you think escort is
22226s going to come in quicker you know I do
22228s think this gives more options for crazy
22229s Ron since they did they pull out the
22230s Route 66 which yeah they continue to
22232s play the malamir I think that means
22234s there are still more bags more tricks
22236s rather uh in the bag that crazy raccoon
22238s can bring I mean there's back that's
22240s where we're at now there's Maps like
22241s jalter that we haven't seen and I think
22243s that is I mean we've seen a lot of dive
22244s out of crazy raccoon I think that is the
22246s Pinnacle of their style their potential
22248s you get Shu on the Anna Chong on the brg
22250s I think that's where especially the
22252s backline really shines but on a map like
22254s that I don't think you'll see the malga
22256s come out I think lip is going to have a
22257s lot easier time forcing the hit scan
22259s mirror and historically Falcons has lost
22261s against crazy raccoon when it comes to a
22263s pure hit scan mirror propers flexibility
22265s is on match but the raw hit scan
22267s performance it's lip who's been taking
22269s those championships so honestly I think
22271s there are still places that crazy
22272s raccoon can take us um I would love to
22274s see a jaalto come out I'd love to see
22276s them hey let's let's try a dive Mir sure
22277s your mala's great maybe you can force us
22279s off the Cassidy but can you in head
22281s to-head in a dive mirror so far it's
22283s been crazy raccoon historically between
22285s these two teams yeah I agree with that
22286s jalter would be a lot of fun to watch
22288s between these two teams as well you know
22290s maybe we can spice it up and not see
22291s Lucio KIRO as well yet to be determined
22293s of course on jalter it's a map that
22294s allows for some other support characters
22296s to be played as well it would be a lot
22298s of fun but it's almost like until we
22300s actually see one of these teams like
22301s heavily move away from the Maga
22303s composition I really do feel like it's
22305s going to be two teams and this has
22307s honestly been a conversation within the
22308s community as well you know we have a lot
22309s of content creation between coaches and
22311s players these days and they've talked
22313s about how in Korea you know there's a
22314s bit of a mentality that like hey you we
22316s can challenge you on like what you play
22318s best we we feel comfortable playing in
22320s this mirror matchup and we feel like if
22322s we make some minor adjustments we can
22324s actually overcome the odds is it a mind
22326s game then like it's firstam to switch
22328s off of the M kind of lost the Mind do
22330s you prefer to make broad stroke major
22332s macro changes to the compositions where
22334s maybe you feel like a different Tank
22335s Hero could get a leg up I feel like the
22337s meta's pretty much settled here Jake and
22338s so now it comes down to the micro
22340s adjustments what are some micro
22341s adjustments we can make to overcome our
22342s opponent rather than just like start
22344s swinging and picking different
22345s characters we're not going to see that
22347s you know I think it's a long series
22348s though right with seven maps that could
22349s change things and also as much as yes
22351s the Asian teams they're familiar with
22352s this format of the loser having total
22354s freedom about where to take the series
22355s next to be honest that should not matter
22358s this is a filament that heavily favors
22360s going long series that means if you lose
22362s Maps you get a much bigger Advantage
22364s coming back with the next pick and so
22366s the fact that these teams have three OED
22368s all of their other competition besides
22370s one another to me that just speaks to
22372s how far above the competition they are I
22374s mean there's the best possible chance
22376s for the team who loses map one to bring
22378s things back no one has done it well I
22380s mean an's got a draw but come on I mean
22383s the format for me should should really
22385s help Na and EU it should have helped
22386s these teams get maps but it wasn't
22388s enough I mean there there was a there
22390s was a serious gap between the regions
22391s right now there's a reason these are the
22393s two teams here in the Grand Final do you
22395s think that crazy raccoon will come in
22397s major adjustments here or will they just
22399s try to play the same thing because quite
22400s frankly like the previous match was very
22403s very close would it be too risky to
22405s actually take those bigger swings I mean
22407s I think they're going to make the small
22408s adjustments first I think that we saw
22410s Falcons have the edge specifically with
22411s the Venture play for example the way
22413s they shifted their Venture play style it
22414s was a little bit all in and they
22416s actually let lip play that hit scan role
22418s right and extracting they thought maybe
22420s like lip won't get as much value on the
22421s C again it's very map dependent I think
22424s that this meta we've actually seen here
22425s at owcs Major it's actually been one of
22427s the best metals we've ever had in in in
22429s OverWatch you know up until it's really
22431s settled here with MAA a lot of different
22432s maps to go to if you want to play
22434s different styles and it's really just
22435s these two teams that finally said like
22437s we really do think that the MAA
22438s composition is the best one neither of
22439s the North American or the EMA teams they
22441s really felt like they could match the
22443s magga play so now it's up to these two
22444s teams to maybe make some adjustments
22446s when it comes to different maps and
22447s stuff but I feel like for the most part
22449s we're just going to see more of the same
22451s on different map variations it doesn't
22452s really matter uh you know between the
22454s small differences between the maps the
22456s large broad Strokes yes circuit Royale
22458s Gibralter those are maps that really
22460s warrant some kind of different
22461s compositions but for the most part most
22463s maps in general you can pull off the
22465s maab braw it's something that kasaro
22467s said when he was on the desk here with
22468s us that every region brought their own
22470s kind of flavor uh to this uh
22473s International Tournament where we see
22475s those different regions clashing for the
22476s first time what what your flavorite
22478s favorite flavor is it the mar comp do
22480s you think like this is peeking or I mean
22483s whether it's the best or not like that's
22485s not what I'm asking I'm asking what
22486s entertains you this answer this one you
22488s have to answer with your heart I know
22489s there's one in there uh the only thing I
22491s care about is winning and that's what
22493s the competition is about right that's
22494s what you come I mean this is harsh but
22496s like this is the reality from playing
22498s professionally it's like you know as
22499s much as fan the fans I want to see you
22501s play Ryan hottie I'm proud actually of
22503s space station that they didn't do that
22504s because for me that's giving up that's
22506s accepting defeat and that's the one
22507s thing I don't want to see a player do I
22508s want to see these teams come out and
22509s give everything for me that is OverWatch
22511s that's OverWatch 2 in particular you
22513s have to constantly adapt you have to be
22515s Innovative you have to adjust even
22516s within the malol mirror there are still
22518s small variations in terms of the picks
22520s the Cassidy the batist these Heroes
22522s change everything we saw a ton of far in
22524s the comp but it's been almost completely
22526s absent here in the winnner finals
22527s because these teams are continually
22529s trying to catch each other trying to
22530s make these subtle changes that can
22532s really reshape how the game is played
22534s and so I think through this Grand Final
22536s it's crazy raccoon now who need to make
22538s some kind of change for me I feel that
22540s maybe they maybe that adaptation to
22542s allow lip to be a little bit more free a
22543s little bit more of a stable style now
22545s he's Genji struggling to get impact
22547s maybe you're when you're over focusing
22549s lip you let heang be free and the
22551s responsive slowdown in the composition I
22553s mean without the far spam maybe you
22554s could slow it down you really didn't
22556s answer my question though I'm asking
22559s what so is it the mar com you think that
22561s is the most entertaining and the best
22563s com to watch right now this is a very
22565s different malga cop I want to emphasize
22566s that when we first saw the hero come out
22568s and it was both malas like full face
22570s trading each other uh you know
22572s like Reaper cage fight everyone's fully
22575s focused on the MAA this comp I think is
22577s way more focused on the DPS and the
22579s supports and maa's coming in trying to
22581s get those Stomps land on backlines break
22583s SS I mean there's been so many huge
22585s plays it's a much more Dynamic style of
22587s Maga for me it's like a a one0 from
22589s other types of M we've seen I think a
22591s lot of fans watch you just look at the
22592s tank you think okay that's the style
22594s they're going to play but this level of
22595s OverWatch I mean there's so much more in
22598s this one okay what about you what has
22600s what's got you entertained the last I
22602s got bit of a breather there got a got a
22603s got a moment to collect my thoughts
22605s while Jake was yapping around 10 moments
22608s of thought picking are there any rinard
22610s fans in the building anyone want to see
22612s some rhinard being
22613s played those te they want okay we're not
22616s going to see rhinard being played we're
22617s not going to see the rhinard J it's not
22619s happening but I did you know the only
22622s viable counter really to the Maga we've
22623s seen so far has been Ms and they pulled
22625s out the sigma it was actually something
22627s you could pull out against the MAA and
22629s they did a respectable job but even that
22631s like you can't really get away playing
22633s the the sigma composition so in my
22635s opinion I mean that would be equivalent
22636s to SG pulling out the Reinhard that
22638s would be waving the White Flag like
22639s we're pulling out the sigma because
22641s we're we've lost answers like we don't
22642s know how we're going to deal with the
22644s opponent's M composition so we're going
22645s to go to Sigma I think these two teams
22647s they're way happier pulling out the
22649s small adjustments and maybe try to win
22652s the the battle within the battle within
22653s the battle in the mam Mir comp position
22655s 4D underwater chess is being played on
22657s this very stage also known as OverWatch
22659s 2 right now but but this is you know as
22662s intricate as a guest really you have the
22663s best coaches in the world supporting
22665s these players inspecting every detail
22667s and making small adjustments based on
22669s that that's an incredible skill to have
22671s as coach to be able to look at the micro
22673s adaptations the small positioning that
22675s really matters to make a big difference
22676s that's what we saw Falcons pull out in
22678s the winner packet finals because they
22679s made small Venture play style
22681s adjustments with the batist and it made
22683s all the difference that's credit to the
22684s coaching staff and the players for
22686s recognizing the smallest of details in a
22688s very chaotic and complex game like
22690s OverWatch and honestly as much as the
22692s mamir is almost certainly going to
22693s decide our champion here in Dallas I do
22696s think there's a real window for crazy
22698s raccoon to bring out a jalter completely
22700s change the tempo this series maybe
22701s Circle Royale as well because I think in
22704s order to bring out a new style it might
22705s need to be a map pick that enables it
22707s and as much as maybe like that you could
22709s say that's a mental battle you know oh
22710s like you're you're you're maybe you're
22712s giving up in the mamir I mean come on
22713s these players are vets that like I don't
22716s believe that that's going to completely
22717s set them on edge we're talking about
22718s every map win counting I mean last
22721s series it went to game five
22723s maybe every map matters I mean when it's
22726s 32 it does
22729s 3 for for I got another one I got
22731s another one fourth map I got another one
22733s for you losing is learning Jake where's
22737s I don't know where math is but if math
22739s was on the desk right now he pull out
22740s the losing his learning card and maybe
22742s that's why that's a good one that's a
22743s good one like put that one on the shirt
22745s that that one always works out I do
22747s think there is a lot to be said though
22748s that there is so much Nuance to n meta
22750s there is an opportunity based on
22752s different maps and even different points
22754s in different maps to pull out different
22756s things and that's what makes the meta or
22759s makes it look like this meta is in such
22760s a very good stage right now so it's been
22763s actually really really entertaining and
22764s it also is an opportunity for so many
22766s different players to have those
22768s highlight real performances uh at the
22770s very end of the day we of course will
22772s not just be crowning a champion we also
22774s will be talking about the MVP has there
22777s been a player standing out to you the
22779s past 3 days where you feel like that's
22782s an easy one this person obviously has to
22784s be in the MVP
22786s conversation I I think it's fair to say
22788s that maybe the obvious candidate is
22790s proper um I think he's the one that we
22791s talk about he is the one that we focus
22793s on but for me I think one of one of the
22795s unique positions on especially team
22797s Falcons is actually stalker I think
22799s something I really I think it's really
22801s challenging to be the DPS following
22803s behind proper trying to match his Tempo
22805s because prer he's a very confident
22807s player if he has a feeling like I have
22808s to play this hero he's going to bring it
22810s out he's going to play it and so stalker
22812s has to deal with that has to flex around
22814s proper largely making those composition
22816s decisions and so when proper feels he
22817s has to play Tracer stalker maybe forced
22819s off his best hero I often times disagree
22821s with the way they do the hero
22822s assignments I feel like maybe stalker
22824s Tracer let proper do something else but
22826s he's got the re got the confidence
22827s stalker's been the one to be so
22830s incredibly consistent I think that was
22831s some of the with proper initial season
22833s some of their their challenges were
22834s finding the ability to have both DPS F
22836s success and it's been stalker's
22838s incredible flexibility that has really
22840s shined on Falcons in the past I mean
22842s he's been an absolutely monstrous
22843s performer on Tracer one of the best in
22845s the world but right now this tournament
22847s it's the flexibility it's the depth he's
22849s the one who has really holding these
22851s things together to allow proper to shine
22853s as bright as he is who is him for you
22856s reinforce sorry I also agree with Jake I
22859s was going to pick
22860s stalker I mean we've se you first we've
22863s seen some incredible Venture game and
22865s you know with Venture being introduced
22866s to OverWatch we came into this event and
22868s we asked ourselves okay how are we
22869s actually going to see Venture being
22870s played initially you know I think we're
22873s going to see more of like the brawl kind
22874s of like almost like a Reaper kind of
22876s play uh you know there were thoughts
22877s about maybe we'll see similar St to like
22879s Tracer but it's almost been like a mix
22880s of that we can see you can go on these
22882s big flanks if you want you know you get
22884s pretty big ultimate value unless there's
22886s a shield in your way for example that's
22887s why we saw some teams they counter
22888s Venture but playing Reinhard early on in
22890s the series because that Shield is so
22891s hard to get value um with that hero
22893s right but it's really come down to now
22896s the Venture being so scary when it comes
22898s down to digging in the ground and you
22899s see a lot of teams they're hesitant to
22901s engage when they see that Venture
22903s burrowing underground because at any
22905s moment they can pop up and you got that
22906s combo with the drill Dash you know the
22908s primary fire there are some NE nice
22910s combos you can pull off there where you
22911s actually deal a lot of Chunk damage in
22913s one small amount of time and especially
22915s in a moment like this you know you have
22916s some of the best support players in the
22917s world they're keeping their players
22918s topped up the Venture comes in really
22920s handy when it comes down to chunking
22922s down small hero pools in a very fast
22924s succession right right and so you get a
22925s lot of MTH presence because no one wants
22927s to duel with Adventure really good
22929s Dueler and so at the same time you got
22931s these instant winning conditions by just
22933s taking down a small character really
22935s quickly and that has been key so stalker
22937s I think he's done a phenomenal job on
22939s Venture the new here in overw so credit
22941s to him and I think he's probably in the
22942s front runner here now for MVP especially
22944s if we see more of that later on the
22946s series even though so far in Oasis the
22948s short amount of time we seen on Oasis a
22950s while ago it it was actually the Tracer
22952s that was came in handy for both teams I
22954s mean to be honest every time stalker
22955s goes Tracer he just goes insane I mean
22958s he's been playing he plays Venture all
22960s day the team's like okay we need you to
22961s play Venture okay I'll play Venture I'll
22962s do whatever the team needs and then when
22963s he sees that little moment where it's
22965s like oh oh maybe I can trace him and
22966s it's just off the blocks hot I mean when
22969s I came out on ilos he was disgusting man
22972s he was lighting them up and so for me
22975s yeah I I can't wait to see more I think
22976s there's potential for further adaptation
22977s in the series we we've seen heang bring
22980s out far Echo if the Genji isn't working
22982s if I think Falcon's adaptations are
22984s paying off as as I Johnny I think they
22986s are we could see another swap from he
22987s saying more challenges between the flex
22989s DPS players throughout the series look
22991s at as Adventure here as a hero generally
22994s do you feel like other regions uh other
22997s um you know uh OverWatch competitions
23000s and players and St competitions maybe
23002s looking at this competition right here
23005s and feel like okay we're also going to
23007s start picking up Venture a lot more do
23009s you think that's where it's headed in in
23010s all different regions na Anda as well I
23013s have no doubt I think Venture is a
23015s really exciting hero to add into the
23017s game because flankers historically and
23018s OverWatch are just so critical on the
23020s DPS role they really dictate the pace of
23021s the game because they can contest angles
23023s that no one else can they can hold the
23025s objective when your tank is busy Under
23027s Pressure you know can't hold it down
23029s Heroes like Tracer and Venture are very
23031s very unique and how long they can
23033s continue to contest the space and
23034s continue to be effective on the
23036s objective and honestly for most people
23037s at home you're playing OverWatch people
23039s mostly focus on kills they run into each
23040s other over and over again but at this
23042s level the objective is everything
23043s there's so much of a dance subtly around
23046s the objective who can pressure the cart
23047s just a little bit more Force the enemy
23049s to come into you creates a huge
23051s strategic lead yeah and also I think
23053s that you know it's worth mentioning as
23054s well that we're playing on before the
23056s latest H fix patch with Venture of
23057s course so there's a slight change in the
23059s way the cool down works for your uh
23061s drill dash of course when you're
23062s burrowing as well and that affects you
23063s know you mentioned the spawn roll out
23065s Stak you know makes quite a big
23066s difference uh but but but even without
23068s that buff to venture you know even the
23070s fact we've seen some Venture being
23071s played here especially with MAA CU
23073s combine the cardiac Overdrive with the
23075s shields generator from Venture you just
23077s have so much health sustain right it's
23078s so easy for you to brawl when you get so
23080s much health right and so you already
23083s seen Venture being good and now with a
23084s small buff to go with that as well I
23086s have no doubt we'll see more and you
23087s know now we're going into June as well
23089s new month I mean we're going to see some
23091s faet league matches being played um and
23093s you know if we don't see any major
23094s adjustments you know we got season 11 on
23096s Horizon as well uh so we yet to see what
23098s that met is going to bring right but
23100s hero is also
23102s coming we right so uh a mooster yeah for
23106s calling Our Heroes that's right that's
23110s right so maybe some Venture being play
23112s there I certainly hope so I mean after
23114s the performance we've seen from both
23115s falcons as well as crazy raccoon I will
23118s be taking some notes there do you think
23120s uh teams in in this part of the world
23123s have what it takes to execute it on the
23125s same level I think there definitely
23127s needs to be a seismic shift in the
23128s approach from North America in the end
23130s what I've heard from behind the scenes
23131s that it was actually M80 it was actually
23133s Pelicans far that was the really
23135s originator of the MAA Style with Happy
23137s on the Cassidy Pelican on the far they
23139s had a lot of success early in scrims
23141s that convinced you know teams like
23142s Falcons and crazy raccoon to adopt the
23144s style as well what about your team Jake
23147s so you you have matches coming up in
23149s leag like are you are you take it take
23151s it into your your strap books go back to
23154s the team convince everyone to plays
23155s absolutely it's a great comp for us
23157s because we're just we're just a YOLO
23158s team you know we show up on Match day we
23160s run it down it's it's you know it's not
23162s going to look quite like Falcons I got
23163s to admit but I think we could have some
23165s fun falc Jason like the pigeon version
23167s of it I mean it's a fast fa team
23171s pigeons pigeons fan fav Honestly though
23175s Jack might be in on this one no no
23179s any enjoyers in the
23183s crowd pigeon STS Rising that's why
23186s people are cheing for the Falcons is the
23188s bird teams number one pigeons hater
23190s right there I don't know if you saw the
23192s uh the Korean cast was very confused why
23195s there was a lot of pigeons on the
23196s broadcast oh look at that sign look at
23197s the sign we add more birds to OverWatch
23200s let's go come on listen listen we we we
23203s mused about this the other day actually
23205s there's there's some really good ways we
23207s could maybe have some pigeon skins like
23209s this like come on skins hear me
23214s out her cook we've fully lost it let me
23217s cook listen there is a fan that came up
23219s to us just at the end of yesterday that
23221s said we could have like a full Echo skin
23223s but like a pige
23225s e actually does have a bird e has bird
23228s skin there's bird of paradise there's
23229s another one I can't remember what the
23230s name of it is but it's more of like that
23232s a bird of paradise is actually a flower
23235s that's a PL yeah yeah the the which is
23237s that suits that Echo skin but there
23238s there is an echo skin I I promise the a
23240s very bird I promise the devs are
23243s listening Ora Ora has a griffin skin
23247s that's a bird right true yeah still
23249s still not a real make AA pigeon Zen has
23252s raw not really kind of s floating he's
23256s he's as close to a bird as we can get
23258s another another free fan idea is make
23260s the Zen orbs just pigeons that you I
23265s like this I like this pig has got to our
23268s brains bro like what are we saying oh my
23272s God I thought we were over this I
23274s thought we we lost all that I mean do we
23277s don't are we just getting started I feel
23279s like we're on to something good
23281s here please get us in the game please we
23284s have Hulk we've had seagull you know why
23287s is no one called pigeon I don't get it I
23288s feel like everyone hates pigeons Yes
23290s except the except thank you J thank
23295s you there's 250 different types of
23298s pigeons in the
23300s world because I'm actually I'm really
23302s into bird
23303s watching I'm one of those
23307s any CH no but like that's a lot of
23310s different patients to choose from you
23311s can't tell me that you're hating
23313s 250 different species like that's that's
23316s ridiculous they're all pigeons like
23318s there's what is the pigeons and don't
23321s very I'm not an orthologist I just don't
23322s want them to poop on my car
23325s y look at them go pigeons how do they
23330s keep finding them seriously how is that
23332s even possible everywhere that's homework
23335s for The Observers they just go around
23336s every single map finding every single
23338s possible pigeon like I didn't realize
23340s that's what we're doing startingly this
23342s tournament we had enough downtime to
23343s find all the pige on the map but you
23345s know what the weit is over let's get
23348s back into the action with our grand
23350s finals of the
23352s owcs thank you very much desk legendary
23356s amount of fill time there as well you're
23358s all superstars we are jumping back into
23361s Oasis it's going to be a full restart
23363s here as well so a little bit more
23365s OverWatch for
23370s you we're at the Grand finals here of
23372s the dream hack Dallas major
23375s might have had a little bit of a false
23376s start before but we're still here for a
23378s good time as both of these teams are
23380s ready to load back into the map let's
23382s count it down and these Gates will
23388s open team Falcons and crazy raccoons
23392s as's number one and number two seed
23394s facing off yet again was the winners
23397s finals and it was Falcons that punch
23399s their tickets to this very match in a
23402s five game ofair this time around is a
23405s first to four so we can go all the way
23407s to seven Maps see Crazy R running out on
23410s the far and Cassy here Falcons double
23413s Flex
23414s DPS the double Flex DPS has been so good
23417s here for Falcons with the Genji and the
23418s Venture able to get in really quick into
23420s the back line looking at Li right now as
23422s primary target for a lot of that damage
23424s but he's saying it's going to make it
23425s very difficult to do that with all of
23427s this Ferro rocket spam the deflex from
23430s proper Genji can only last so long to
23432s help them get in point C well raccoons
23434s just see how quickly they exited the
23436s points as soon as that went down uh he
23440s what are you doing there my guy one HP
23442s still managing to survive but I don't
23443s think for much longer Fielder on the
23445s flank no CDs available though so it's an
23447s easy cleanup kill for crazy raccoon same
23450s with shio end up going down rather
23452s Scrappy Affair but venge just so well in
23454s these Close
23456s Quarters it worked out really nice there
23458s for crazy raccoon too because you know
23460s they were able to walk away with a
23462s decent bit of percentage there and still
23463s able to stall out the the point for a
23465s little bit longer but team Falcons they
23467s collapsed after they were trying to go
23470s after that far he say now no longer on
23472s that hero Choice going to go over to the
23474s Tracer a little bit more back to form
23477s for the crazy raccoon and how they like
23479s to be able to play this mountain P but
23481s team Falcons are going to be rewarded
23482s with some of the first ultimates in this
23485s round Matrix first and the tonic shop
23488s not too far behind yeah look at that
23490s additional damage though there's the
23491s tectonic shot but oh dear me
23495s now bar 10 ft under and Shu gets the
23498s kill but it was enough damage for the
23499s rest of team Falcons to run over the
23502s crazy raccoon oh he's oh doesn't quite
23505s get away either nice little stagger
23507s there team falers they got a play they
23509s got a beat even that cage coming up too
23511s and this is where the power of the team
23513s Falcons composition really comes into
23515s play because you can look at that blade
23516s and you see three very big possibilities
23518s of how to be able to pair with that
23520s either the cage you could just go for
23522s the general cardiac over drive or even
23524s just the South barrier here the lip
23525s opens things up first I knew lip looking
23528s around looking a little bit sad for
23530s himself there so much invested to try
23532s and kill the Cassidy and still a blade
23535s available for proper team Falcons only
23538s 50% over the finish line now they're
23541s closing in on a victory for this first
23544s round very very patient on their
23546s ultimates still got cage and blade I
23548s mean we've been seeing a lot of that in
23550s their series previous he's saying in the
23552s back lines though in enemy territory and
23554s even better though that that combo has
23556s no sound barrier to answer it going to
23557s be very lethal heading into potentially
23559s the final fight of this
23562s round no F bomb sadly but there come the
23565s cages just overlapping each other in C
23567s still got the fulse bomb pull that at
23570s any moment here just wants to get out
23571s some CD's first item imine I don't think
23573s he even needing it to be very honest
23575s with you but with only 10% to go you
23577s might as well throw everything in
23578s especially if you can get these last
23579s final kills Smurf unfortunately
23582s though ends up going down down but it
23585s doesn't matter when prop is on the Genji
23587s a couple of percentage points left does
23589s jumin back on the doomfist in a one V
23593s cor just there to be able to stop for
23595s some time to allow for heang to come
23596s back yeah recall from heang as well I
23599s mean 5% maybe towards this post bom but
23601s it's going to have to net a large multi-
23603s kill for it it to really be a Difference
23605s Maker Smurf BS who's also back on the
23607s Doom this fielder in a little bit of
23609s trouble easy lamp though and there's the
23612s tectonic shot to end it all
23615s [Music]
23619s first round very cleanly going over to
23622s that Genji Adventure comp called that
23625s was such patience when it came down to
23627s when to use that blade what to pair with
23629s it to make it as lethal as possible and
23632s in the end proper just doing proper
23634s things but as we head over to city
23638s center this is where maybe potentially
23640s we get a chance to see some Winston if
23641s you want to take advantage of that
23643s verticality but not a necessity you have
23646s that elevator to help you go up to that
23648s high ground and you can just go with the
23650s MAA all the
23652s same how's it going I don't believe the
23656s bait
23659s there
23661s wait what road hog in our grand final
23666s server dunin has left the spawn with the
23673s roadhog roadog even versus The Venture
23676s right that B has a little bit of a cast
23679s time of course she literally have to dig
23682s there's one hook at least now the hog
23684s quite vulnerable and a a large Meat wall
23687s as well there a lot of free old charge
23689s nice hook but just displaced there as
23691s well such an important tool is that
23693s Lucio pooping the hog when the hook
23694s lands so they can't get the insta kill
23696s onto
23697s somebody don't want to step up to
23699s live they're trying to focus this cassid
23703s down this High Ground is tough to live
23705s to get an angle on stalker and fielder
23707s too who's just kind of peppering away
23709s from this high ground Point has unlocked
23712s for quite some time at this point ster
23714s relying on these heals and these
23715s shielding you get as well for using your
23717s ability to stay alive on the point no
23719s cap coming through just yet jum is back
23721s in the fight finally Falcons they
23723s managed to get there in the end and
23725s going the PSE bomb in hand proper is Out
23727s For
23728s Blood there's so much investment going
23731s into keeping lip alive on this Cassidy
23733s that the rest of those are not available
23735s to help keep this front line all topped
23736s up so team Falcons they keep finding
23739s their target onto these DPS players on
23741s the crazy raccoon maybe having aun rush
23744s to help them get back into this but he
23747s about still have control of this point
23750s yeah it's really hard for to get the hog
23751s off of the point but when you don't have
23753s it the hog just kind of sits there
23755s you're looking for hooks that's the only
23757s thing you're uh trying to get in there
23758s with Wow or okay lip taking mat into his
23762s own hands there using that rush for some
23764s additional Firepower just clears the
23767s backline team f just fell over without
23771s using anything though so maybe just
23773s being able to take that fight as an L
23775s come back in and they're going to come
23776s back even stronger they have a sound
23778s bear to match that of Chong they're also
23780s going to have this cage this tonic shock
23782s is also going to be so easy to land onto
23784s some of these targets cut away from that
23786s damage City Center a little bit
23788s more territory for you to play around
23790s the architecture of the map but still so
23793s much damage came from out all of these
23794s ultimates that team T are you have tell
23796s you really split to you don't want to
23798s just line up for that venture to just
23800s destroy your team oh proper hooked in
23803s instant kill for junin there tonic shot
23807s used by stalker didn't find much purchas
23810s with it use the Dr Dash to get back to
23811s the rest of his team and jump in on the
23813s flank spots stalker out oh hooks the
23816s wrong target still got the ultimate
23818s though this whole hog is pretty
23819s devastating when you're up in the corner
23821s C Smurf a little pig Penal on the point
23824s as well czy recuit oh they're making the
23827s H work and it is
23830s delectable oh it's just so good another
23833s resource you can invest into keeping
23835s lifp up and also just that whole hog
23837s into a corner Smurf from there's no just
23842s do that we're in a grand finals
23845s junin what an even better place to bring
23847s out the
23848s roadhog good environmental picks the
23851s whole hws just into this B ba the cage
23855s fight I may got a cage fight but I might
23857s have a hook for you
23859s too baa deflect got the skull on his
23862s head dashes back to spawn buying time
23865s though 80% on board for raccoon soccer
23869s just switch over to the Tracer be a
23871s little bit more pressure there from the
23872s Tracer and the Genji together a little
23874s bit easier to slip out of the hul let's
23877s come back into this final fight
23878s potentially here for crazy raccoon cage
23880s for Smurf as well cruy locked down crazy
23882s raccoon then quite split waiting for the
23885s hog to find a pi to then kind of get on
23887s top of I mean the cage can lock the hog
23890s up short you can even put a good tun
23892s Rush down on it as well nice hook Gio
23895s down here comes the hog I mean what can
23898s you really do you're fighting on this
23900s rush there's another hook proper dead do
23904s falcons did they expect this how do you
23907s deal with this
23908s Rob on a grand final stage no
23912s less think the answer is just
23918s run I don't think the death respected
23920s this either Jake talking the big game
23923s with the
23924s malga the from
23926s J even in spawn we see the roadhog pick
23929s don't get don't get baited never get
23931s baited by spawn picks that's the tip
23933s number one when they're in spawn don't
23935s get baited I got baited cuz stuck in the
23939s the whole round two it's so impactful
23943s quick pick onto Shield you completely
23945s neutralize the mobility on this team
23948s you're able to get a big DPS out of the
23951s way like stalker or proper line it up
23953s for Li to take care of but it's back to
23955s phas six back to the Mal for both of
23957s these teams he coming out on the far
23960s once again so many sight lines for him
23962s to play through with all of his rocket
23966s spam not normally a far at this
23969s one Al though when you do have control
23971s you're looking at two giant doorways to
23973s kind of shoot through and with bar added
23975s Mobility now as well pretty easy to kind
23977s of get out the way if you need to that
23979s hit scan can be terrifying but it's only
23981s Fielder really shooting up with the
23982s skies that
23985s he taking The High
23988s Ground pin a little bit with stalker
23990s that's going to be taking
23992s flank so low with this mini health pack
23995s room oh giio not where you want to be
23997s nice Direct by heang there taking care
23999s of the Lucio and it's all falling apart
24001s for the Falcons
24004s and there's another kills
24007s eliminated so much damage for he saying
24009s that that barrage is going to be coming
24011s up mighty quick better way to just let
24014s it rip into one of these
24016s windows maybe Falcons even take a
24019s misstep go into one of these small rooms
24020s and that barrage is going to be even
24022s better with Shu also going to be able to
24025s have that tun rush it it's going to be a
24026s world to hurt for the falc coming up
24028s soon save the Far Low up as well thr
24031s that suu well here comes the uh kak over
24034s drrive going to trade that c down at
24036s least for the time being window used
24038s there's the parage on top he s decimates
24041s Fielder takes care of the lamp too here
24044s comes the charge oh it's all falling
24046s apart for Falcons jump in with a double
24049s charge
24050s kill and crazy raccoon right now sitting
24053s on a beat cage coming up as well as that
24056s Dead Eye I mean look at proper Al charge
24059s only 70% towards that blade not close
24062s enough you're hoping to light it up with
24064s something like Smurf's cage but going
24066s quick what a roll there from Li but he
24067s rolled the wrong way beat comes in from
24069s crazy racon that's a lot of damage to
24072s take D shot no Shields to kind of hide
24074s behind but again it's just chaos
24077s absolute chaos but it's this time the
24078s Falcons are going to come out on top
24080s every kind of lining up there as an easy
24082s Al from stalker that AOE damage is just
24085s immense exactly and there's no Shield to
24087s be able to block that damage either so
24088s you know it's always going to be able to
24090s hit its Mark as long as everybody is
24092s within your line of sight but as you
24094s called out the blade not being online
24095s before proper and Smurf they get a
24097s chance to potentially put this blade and
24099s cage together they'll keep control of
24102s this
24103s point proper peeking his little head in
24105s there here comes the cage proper with
24108s the blade might not even need to use it
24109s especially with he's say dead look that
24111s Focus fire on the jum in there saving
24114s the ultimat it's exactly what you want
24116s and a little stagger on lip W be for
24120s long even better about the flexibility
24122s that you can have with this position you
24124s use the cage you know you've won the
24125s fight now you get to save the blade on
24127s top of something like that cardiac
24128s overdrive from the malga make that Genji
24130s really unkillable if you're able to
24132s actually land all of that damage crazy
24134s raccoon they've got a cage up their
24135s sleeves
24136s too prop P the blade oh he can't quite
24139s get the Faro heang dashing out of the
24142s way Page coming through as they spot
24144s stalker on an off Angle an easy insta
24147s kill on the Venture can't quite get the
24149s heals in there barrage from heang he
24151s spotted the backline he spotted an
24152s isolated too he's actually just going to
24155s put pressure on the point here and just
24156s try and get filer out of this fight but
24158s it is proper that's doing just dirty
24161s things in the backline Shuan lives dead
24163s it's a trade kill here but Falcons
24165s they've still got control of the points
24167s a dash away from proper as he sees the
24169s fight is's quite unwinable especially
24171s with jumping on the point and now they
24174s have to walk into a beat and a barrage
24176s coming here the crazy raccoon and with
24178s no beat of their own just yet even if
24181s you do you're just going to have so much
24182s damage coming out for the might be able
24184s to just deal all that damage through all
24186s of that over health so Gio's going to
24187s have to work up to this sound barrier
24189s very quickly might even beond stalker to
24192s try to open up this next
24195s fight tonic Shar looking at that
24197s backline over's approaching as well
24199s tonic shot yeah looking at that backline
24202s everybody scattering until the little
24204s hidey holds lot of damage still though
24207s and there's the high nude from lip S Bar
24209s though they say it's time to go in The
24211s Barrage straight on top of Smur they
24213s have to deal with the L but it's F the
24215s takes down heang 99% for crazy raccoon
24218s but it is
24219s Falcons they stop heang getting away
24221s with murder there that barrage could
24224s have been the map could have been the
24227s first one on the board a stalker and
24229s shio Chas Shu straight to the spawn with
24232s that immortality field this just might
24233s be the map for Falcons now they got the
24236s amplification Matrix be able to open up
24238s this next fight with and they've got the
24239s cage and the
24241s blade yeah look CRA recruit SP over
24243s there DPS as well traitor and the Venter
24246s e popping up but they so low Health lips
24248s on the point pressuring can't be too
24250s much of a factor in this fight he's a
24251s little bit too far away as propa pulls
24253s the blade he's already taking care of
24254s Shu he's got the front line in his
24255s sights now a nice still deflect and
24257s another kill onto junin two for proper
24260s healed up by Fielder up onto The High
24262s Ground he manages to Scurry away and now
24263s he's only got to deal with this Venture
24265s but is heang that lays him to rest crazy
24268s raccoon they still got control of the
24270s point but for how much longer is Venture
24271s on Venture violence but stalk J out on
24274s top team Falcon they need to just cap
24277s but Chong is back Chong is back the K
24281s Rush gets laid down and that's going to
24282s buy time for jum cage and jumin matches
24284s Smurf jump straight on in there it's all
24288s gone South for team Falcons now stalker
24291s ends up going down a Shu puts a kunai
24294s between his eyes and Shu comes up and
24296s get another kill a sound for might see
24298s them in this fight he manages to get it
24300s off but it's only on two there's one man
24302s you can rely that is proper but for how
24305s much longer tectonic shot will end it as
24309s crazy raccoon take the first
24313s M that Venture pick being everything
24317s that they needed in order to be able to
24319s grab that round so much stall pressure
24322s so much DPS what a
24327s pick what a pick indeed I think one
24330s thing we did not have on our Bingo cards
24332s was a jump in on that roadog road hog
24336s Road Hog anyone and they made it work
24338s like honestly team Falcon struggled they
24341s had no idea how to deal with that surely
24343s that was the spanner and Advent we were
24345s looking for absolutely that's a huge
24347s counterplay coming in very very
24348s unexpectedly in in a comp that wants to
24351s all in commit with highly mobile DPS
24353s Heroes what better than an instant burst
24355s from roadhog I don't think we'll see too
24357s much of in the series I think it's more
24358s of a tech pick for that Oasis City
24360s Center but Jun bin I mean what a
24361s performance from him to open up the
24363s series series 1 Z for crazy raccoon
24365s equalizing any disadvantage they might
24367s have had coming from the lower bracket
24369s yeah I mean this is an incredible pocket
24371s pick to bring out to goog it's a hero we
24372s haven't seen all tournament long and
24374s made some incredible plays like that
24376s hhog right there and then going towards
24378s spawn hitting these hooks early I mean
24380s this is some insane Roto gameplay and it
24383s just came out of nowhere like it just
24385s took it just took the air out of the
24387s entire room the entire crowd was just
24389s stunned really then we get to see some
24390s Roto play and they cheered for it
24392s because who doesn't love seeing a
24393s [ __ ] pick like Roto come out then
24395s later on I mean we got to University and
24397s again it was the far up pick this time
24398s from heang that really changed things up
24400s proper you know we had a pretty decent
24402s map here but I really do feel like as
24404s series kind of advanced here I mean how
24405s do you really react to this far as well
24407s I feel like that map in particular crazy
24409s raccoon they brought two Heroes both the
24411s Rog and the far to mess things up and
24414s now again if you're Falcons even though
24415s you have proper who can pull up some
24417s spectacular place you're on the back
24419s foot and now it's on you now it's back
24420s in your court to figure out well how are
24423s we that according to what face would
24425s have been playing I think the most
24426s important thing for Falcons is actually
24428s not to overreact I mean the road hog is
24430s a very special pocket Pi for a certain
24432s map it's a great surprise I don't think
24434s it's going to last the test of the
24435s series and I think as well the far
24437s Cassidy very very strong comp but also
24440s needs a certain map type where you can
24441s get on top of the batist and I mean
24443s honestly I think crazy raccoons was
24445s seriously behind in round three it was a
24446s very clutch comeback to be able to win
24449s the map once so if I'm Falcons most
24451s important thing is just don't overreact
24452s I think they do still have the right
24454s answer in the comp I think for the most
24455s part it was an execution here just a
24458s master performance and interesting
24459s Falcons they want to dodge surasa this
24462s is a lot of respect put on Sasa Falcon
24464s says we're going to take your flash
24466s point and raise you a flash
24468s point I mean quite frankly though I I
24471s think it's super interesting if we're
24472s looking back at the first time they face
24474s off against each other in the uh upper
24477s bracket they also played on uh on Oasis
24481s and raccoon actively tried to avoid Mar
24484s miror now they're taking the lead in
24487s this series let's see if they can do it
24489s again on map number
24492s two thank you very much guys yes we're
24495s going on to new junk
24497s City the little
24500s [Applause]
24503s wabanaki another bird The Observers have
24505s had lined up this
24508s dra insane
24511s stuff Al
24513s that's what they're forcing them into
24515s here it feels
24516s like they've both opted in to be able to
24519s play this malol mirror but it is those
24520s little changes that they've made in
24522s terms of the DPS lineup that have given
24525s both of these teams their identity when
24527s it comes to this malam mirror team
24530s Falcons once again coming out of the
24531s gates with the Genji and the Venture and
24534s crazy raccoon heing with an expert
24536s performance on adventure Ops to go to
24539s the Genji for this time around yeah I
24541s love the double Flex I really do
24543s especially with when you're going get
24544s something that doesn't have
24546s shielding tonic shot is just so strong
24549s see the pop cardiac overdrive too
24551s everything's kind of grouped up you can
24552s even disengage and re-engage with the uh
24554s with the Al it's also very easy to get
24556s in the back line too see stalker in the
24558s mid ends up hitting the borrow what the
24560s drash I would imagine J just pushed away
24564s from the rest of his team another small
24566s fact to work keeping the mind too that
24567s Trill flash pushing people away out of
24570s position completely away from your team
24573s and stalker is just giving us a master
24575s class on this pick as well it's about
24577s the time he saw some Venture at the
24579s highest levels of OverWatch and Zer is
24582s just making this pick look honestly
24584s broken very very broken indeed whether
24587s it is going to be those drill runs or
24589s anything else coming at you this
24591s adventure has looked so good in fact in
24593s enough damage we might see this tonic
24594s shock up and ready to go for this next
24596s fight this is going to be the first to
24598s an Al though all of that harassment on
24601s the Tracer into the back line is the
24603s pulse bomb and he's looking for somebody
24606s fer
24608s maybe eyes firmly set on Chon there oh
24612s there's the throw Dash kill onto he sank
24614s of all people and the Genji too like you
24617s keep it reflect sure but when Benji uses
24620s their abilities like you're gaining The
24621s Shield that Genji One V one to be very
24624s tough for
24626s you pushes back crazy raccoon so they
24629s have to try to figure out a different
24631s way to attack this taking a bit of a
24633s split push here as you see trong as well
24636s as with a little bit on the other
24638s side tonic short like I said no shield
24642s no problem for stalk it's the burrow lot
24644s of damage down there CH almost getting
24646s insta kill Here Comes OT crazy raccoon
24649s need to be able to get in here ASAP oh
24652s look at that damage on junin there's
24654s nothing he can do thankfully though
24656s saved by a Beat from Shong crazy raccoon
24658s are touching at this current moment in
24659s time but here comes the play from he
24660s sank can he do it again there's one kill
24662s onto dashes straight through Smurf
24665s assisting on the kill onto stalker crazy
24668s Ron in the chaos manag to find the cap
24670s as well but proper is still alive and
24672s still taking names with
24675s him phip and heing are able to finish
24677s out that fight so that they are able to
24680s just keep this progress going for crazy
24681s raccoon they have to mess so much though
24684s in order to get that flip in their favor
24686s Jing going to have the cage very soon
24688s not a whole lot to be able to pair with
24690s that just yet but the cardiac overdrive
24692s can help ens sure that that damage can
24694s come through from both lip and heing
24696s team Falcons they want to push their
24698s advantage knowing they have to cage
24699s blade themselves oh that cage almost
24703s waiting for jump in there here comes the
24705s blade from proper though every caught on
24706s these stairs that's a lot of AOE damage
24708s from this blade I mean he doesn't need
24710s an N if he's doing damage like this in
24711s all honesty jump in Pang down a four on
24715s three right now Shu trying desperately
24718s to heal themselves up just with that
24719s aura healing from Lucio proper pretty
24721s low too calling for heal sh rning for it
24723s crazy raccoon almost in 90% territory
24726s but it is team Falcons that find this
24727s flip who is there to touch look like
24730s it's going to be lip for the Pok Spa in
24731s 4 percent going to trigger the overtime
24734s and can't get there stalker is able to
24736s push him back take him out so that first
24738s flash points going to go over to team
24740s Falcons they get set up for the other
24742s one but Falcons looking to try to finish
24745s up any other kills if they can before
24746s they make their way over there big
24749s elimination though on to lip To Deni
24751s that recontest
24754s hey
24756s there now a lot of the time you're
24758s seeing the battist as well from a lot of
24760s teams but another another big kind of
24763s counter to the bat the lamp right just
24765s used the D Dash H the bat push him out
24767s of the lamp any kind of displacement is
24769s so powerful when a micro overstep can
24772s cost you a li could cost you the game
24774s Rush on the point instant suzu on to
24776s jump in to keep from alive but here com
24777s tectonic shop onto the points trying to
24780s just brain hell fores left to hit the
24782s Reco though but both sound barriers now
24784s coming in St has pushed off the edge of
24785s the map using drash to get back on
24787s there's the B right on top of the back
24788s line now is the another suu comes
24790s through from shu to keep lip and Jin
24792s alive and it is lip just throwing clips
24797s into the back of team Falcons there they
24799s find the team kill and the point that's
24801s why lip is one of the best didn't even
24803s need to invest the pulse bom into that
24804s fight in order to flip it back over into
24806s crazy Rock bench he's think going to
24809s have the blade for this next one too so
24811s just a lot of damage output that crazy r
24813s can rely upon just get this next flash
24815s one keep themselves in this map and look
24817s at L hunting in the back spots out that
24820s Baptist Builder high in the sky spots
24822s him now hits the regen the first almost
24824s instantly there doesn't want to get one
24826s click got to be careful now though with
24828s this blade I mean he's is just
24831s disgusting with it I mean what can you
24834s do when your back instantly die like
24837s that crazy raccoon with another team
24840s kill back to back now
24843s take a look at that and maybe even
24844s enough that we're going to see fer play
24846s a little bit of mystery Heroes
24848s here Tech when you jump on the Moira go
24851s to the front of the spawn switch to
24852s Weaver grab the person from the back of
24854s the spawn go to the doors incredibly
24855s small but saves a couple of seconds and
24857s a couple of seconds you need with only a
24860s couple of percentage points left before
24862s crazy Ron take this Pops from the hand
24863s of lip once again to save this for quite
24865s some time at this point just focusing
24866s down the back line theying trying to
24868s turn around a swift from field to get
24870s out of the way and lip actually ends up
24871s going down a drill Dash had where lip
24873s completely caught off
24876s guard caught off guard that's going to
24878s net team Falcons Rec control of this
24881s point look what they have to work with
24883s too smart choice for fieler to switch op
24886s to have pie into the CLE but look at how
24888s fast they want to take this B is coming
24890s in blades everything thrown in on top is
24891s all onto profer now to try and just find
24894s the kills but it's so easy whenever he's
24896s grouped up like that another chaotic
24899s fight there is team Falcons again
24901s pushing raccoon here overextending
24904s almost a little bit but soon as they lay
24906s down that Cas they know they got that
24907s big combo to back them up easy win
24910s that's the type of aggression you should
24911s expect to see from these Kore teams
24912s though and why they've been so dominant
24914s in all of these matches so far at dream
24916s hack Dallas and they're going to keep
24919s trying to push the envelope when it
24920s comes to how to set the pace of these
24923s fights as lip now still hunting for a
24926s target for this
24927s pulse trying to force BR to use anything
24930s here at D sh ref FL l anything a def
24934s will be niceu comes in sound as well
24936s good Rush available but ch's already
24938s dead Smurf hunting searching for
24941s targets team Falcons they in a good spot
24943s to actually just take this point a
24945s charge into the back line for Smurf
24947s cardiac overdrive off and available but
24948s here com the blade this time it's on
24950s heang can he find anybody it looks like
24952s stalk is happy to take the one-onone oh
24954s and he wins it and of course he wins it
24958s team
24959s Falcons that's two points now and one
24962s away from tying the series up they have
24965s just been on a roll when it's come down
24967s to this Genji Adventure comp knowing how
24970s to really get the better of crazy
24972s raccoon and yet going to force another
24974s switch he saying thinking about the echo
24977s to attack this next one going over to
24980s Ducks little bit more area than you can
24982s play around here with this Echo but
24984s you're hoping that these sticky bombs
24985s would be enough to maybe bu Smurf down
24987s with this High Health
24989s pool yeah I mean you could top of the
24992s enemy malga too if you really want to
24994s get the double cage go double cardiac
24996s overdrive instant value very very
24999s strong not many Shields to kind of work
25002s around as well good stick on to Smurf
25004s see how much pressure he was under
25006s everything thrown in suu healing and pal
25008s speed like card overdrive just to try
25010s and keep your up no Shields and there's
25013s a a big Target for Eko to fire those
25016s stickies in that beam too shreds any
25019s large HP bar orio going to get White
25025s H Echo is not bad into the Mala and it's
25028s not bad to be able to clean up an even
25031s squishier pick for the rest of the team
25034s one shot potential if you put that combo
25036s together in just the right way and you
25037s got lip as well to help follow up on any
25039s of the damage you might need but that
25040s duplicate is online for eang not only
25044s duplicate the mag if you want to but
25045s there's also the Venture on the other
25047s side Venture up to start this fight off
25049s one more go of it all right a little bit
25051s of damage but that's about it do Force
25053s jum into use that cardak over drive as
25054s they thought team Falcons were going
25056s to just push onto their front line
25059s however with this duplication could be
25061s crazy looking for a push in but Chong is
25064s dead again second time they's been
25066s picked off first in a team fight and now
25067s prob pulls the pl and clean up in sues
25071s that duplication got no say in this
25074s fight team Falcons backed up too when
25077s they saw that the ksun rush was getting
25078s used by Shu didn't want to catch any of
25081s that smoke let that Al timate go through
25083s and then came back in with a Vengeance
25085s and they are so close being able to get
25088s this map Victory and tie up the series
25091s might be off the back of this cage plus
25094s ksun Rush combo crazy
25097s raccoon the so much fighting there with
25099s the sound barrier there is a response
25100s and that's the be a jum buts it right
25103s here right now but he's not going to get
25105s it such a good page from Smurf and oh oh
25109s a little stagger too pretty hard to
25110s stagger the Lucio take a percentage
25113s point you can get good cage from Smurf
25116s and like you said layer it with that kid
25118s two Rush additional healing attack speed
25120s literally everything right so much extra
25122s damage and you've trapped everybody in
25124s there with you you can't back away from
25125s any of that but Chon critically holding
25127s on to the sound barrier in that last
25129s engagement means that K still have a
25131s fight chance into this next one and
25133s they're going to push in again going to
25135s push way past the point itself and
25138s trying to make them Force to do
25139s something I mean crazy foron right now
25141s they need to push in they managed to get
25143s the back half of all things there got to
25145s been lip on the Traer that manag to get
25147s that sneaky deed
25149s off shot available too from stalker's
25153s dead he erupts from the skies oh brings
25155s hu back down with him stalker ends up
25158s getting focused down Chong and Shu
25161s versus proper oh my goodness now Smurf
25164s joins the prey as well a card over drive
25167s only this 3 seconds before it came back
25169s up and that would be crazy r two taking
25172s that point
25173s [Music]
25175s the reverse flash point sweep does it
25177s start here next flash point crazy
25180s raccoon with that flash point wi now get
25183s a chance to rotate over to another one
25185s with this rush in their pocket the
25186s duplicate coming up soon too easy way
25189s for them to be able to get into the mix
25191s but this proper
25193s blade this sound Bearer from Chio team
25196s Falcons have a lot of answers to what
25197s crazy raccoon want to throw at them and
25200s taking control of the flash point so
25201s important Rush suu instantly juming
25205s getting back to 100% HP nice Boop onto
25208s stalker there pushing him past the
25211s doorway prop surely can't survive that
25213s no that burn
25215s damage follow him to the spawn there you
25218s go there's the point really nice first
25220s capture here for crazy raccoon so they
25222s can play from this defensive position
25225s team Falcons are been pushing the
25227s envelope on this aggression though so
25229s you're already going to see them
25230s actually being met here right outside of
25233s his catch point frezy no strangers just
25236s going ahead and going for it and then
25238s barrier coming in as well as that play
25240s but crazy rum already retreating he's
25242s only spotted the malga a lot of the
25243s health to actually slash through but he
25245s does a damn good job of it a duplication
25248s onto Lucio of all things through from
25250s heang free sound barrier no not to be
25253s focused crazy raccoons I think they
25256s almost disengaged from that entire thing
25258s but team f a to Hound down and proper
25260s managed to isolate jumin as soon as that
25263s Maga Falls I mean that cardiac overes
25265s that sustain to keep you in the fight
25266s just non-existent yeah but as soon as
25267s you saw crazy raccoon try to back up
25269s after overextending team Falcons they
25271s pounced on that with that sound gave
25273s them plenty of over Health to just take
25275s that aggression to the flash point they
25277s get this control cage now no blade but
25280s this pulse bomb this Rush we've seen
25282s this combo work before and crazy RAC are
25285s going to have it too double cage coming
25287s in every grouped up the sound bar is
25289s going to help survive but unfortunately
25290s juming I don't think received any of
25292s that all the focus was just that good
25294s from team Falcons a charge onto the
25296s point and boom Smackdown straight on top
25299s of
25299s Chon easy cing guns there from Smurf to
25302s finish him off Falcons in a very strong
25305s position now to take this map L kill
25308s onto lit maybe oh one HP oh proper
25311s managed to get him with one final
25312s shuriken really big though now because
25315s that is just a Stager that's going to
25316s help extend the lead here for team
25317s Falcons they're running out of time and
25320s if they are able to take this flash
25321s point they're going to Ty the series
25322s stalker hunting jumping coming back on
25325s the wrecking ball to get back to the
25326s flash point fast enough gets the touch
25328s but yeah look at the rest of his team
25329s look at the health bars just trickling
25330s down Shu and CH just being isolated
25333s there's no front line to kind of play
25334s around I mean that's just about it team
25338s Falcons they're going to wipe crazy
25341s raccoons in a very one-sided flash
25344s [Applause]
25347s point very one-sided
25350s indeed we might just have a series Ser
25352s on our hands Jaws I know a lot of people
25354s wondering whether or not we might have a
25356s bit more of a one-sided Affair coming
25358s out from team Falcons but I think that
25360s map might tell us a different story the
25362s team's very much still here to play for
25364s this Grand Final
25370s title and it is now one piece what an
25375s incredible performance there and once
25378s again adaptations are being made on both
25381s of those sides it's an incredible brawl
25383s you seen there from team Falcons yeah I
25386s mean Jake we were both like amazed at
25388s this map pick because it really allowed
25390s uh Falcons come in and play more
25392s Adventure here right so uh and it put
25394s lip in that pretty awkward deis playing
25395s the Tracer so just an incredible map
25397s pick just when you think the coaches
25398s can't like out strategize anymore they
25400s bring it here Jake you know I think
25401s we've talked about how okay you don't
25403s want to pick flash point first because
25404s these maps are so similar well one place
25405s in which they're not similar at all is
25407s actually just the power of hit scan
25408s surasa has a lot more open points with
25411s high ground positions of available for
25412s the hit scan new junk city has very few
25415s strong hit scan positions especially
25417s that first point midf fight I mean
25418s you're just so close range it's it's
25420s really one of the best venture maps I
25422s think in the pool right now so not only
25424s do deny surasa been a consistent thorn
25426s in the S side of Falcons but you bring
25428s it to a map that already off the rip
25430s crazy raccoon don't even attempt to play
25432s it game they know it's not possible they
25433s know it's not realistic and honestly a
25435s map like that is one that is going to be
25437s showing why crazy raccoon is is forcing
25439s the Cassidy I don't think they can win
25440s in the double Flex yeah and this is now
25442s going to be the story as it kind of
25443s develops through this series where we're
25444s seeing crazy raccoons they maybe want to
25446s shy away from that really brwl heavy
25448s close range stuff where you're seeing
25449s Falcons they like to play a lot of
25451s venture and Genji because that aids like
25453s this really close combat right and a new
25455s map like new new junk City you get a lot
25457s of value out of those characters but
25458s even going back to ois University we saw
25460s far come out of heang for example
25462s suddenly now you're seeing uh a team
25464s like Chris raccoon they want to play far
25466s back they want to play a Cassidy create
25468s some distance to the MAA they want to
25469s play a far obviously using verticality
25471s to distance from that MAA and instead
25474s you're using your MAA to sit back and
25476s maybe have some sustain with the cardiac
25477s overdrive and now of course when we went
25479s to a map like new junk City for example
25482s that is when proper on the Genji and
25483s stalker on the Venture they can just
25485s maximize the value they're getting in
25487s these really close corridors and if
25489s you're a lip you're forced over to this
25490s Tracer like Jake just covered here of
25492s course like you're playing this Tracer
25494s and you can't really get close into
25495s these fights there were multiple points
25496s here where lip he was like getting close
25498s into combat but immediately like he's
25500s taking so much poke damage that like we
25502s call his forced early at that point like
25503s you can't even get through like a proper
25505s engage fielders walk over to the KIRO
25507s instead of the batist it's a much harder
25509s time to dive with these Heroes so
25511s brilliant map pick and I think now we're
25513s starting to see two distinguished Styles
25515s where Falcons they want to engage close
25517s combat with brawl Heroes like Genji
25519s Adventure which we already knew but now
25521s also he's Sayang you know shying away
25523s from this wanted to play more like Eko
25525s far and then Li maybe wanted to sit more
25527s on codyy where M allows him to yeah I
25529s think lip's a great Tracer player but
25531s this just shows how difficult the hero
25533s is to leverage in the matchup with the
25535s Genji Venture I feel I mean tracer's
25537s great at pulling out resources backing
25539s away pulling out resources backing away
25541s but I mean Genji and Venture are so
25543s effective at sort of sub tanking for the
25545s backline I love this pick though finally
25548s you to see that's exactly what you
25550s wanted to see are we expecting the dive
25553s to come out of crazy raccoon now I I
25555s think this is going to be a Winston dive
25557s this is a map where I mean I think it's
25559s really tough to make the Maga work so
25561s much EX ex extreme High Ground so high
25564s that you know even Venture isn't really
25565s going to be able to get there without
25566s using the dash so this is a I love this
25568s pick from crazy raccoon I'm worried
25570s though because in a long series we will
25572s be coming back to malov we will but for
25574s now we're heading over to jalta some
25577s winon action in the books for us let's
25579s see what the teams have in store for us
25581s as we're heading on to map number three
25584s thank you very much soe and oh boy oh
25587s boy am I happy to load into this map
25589s little bit of classic Korean dive
25592s and a whole lot of winon I Got a
25595s Feeling we were hoping we'd get a chance
25597s to see some winon from these teams and
25600s it's going to feel so good to see Smurf
25603s on one of his signature hero picks Smurf
25607s so well known for that Winston play and
25609s even when this Winston has gotten a
25611s little bit of a rebuff you know a little
25613s bit of a rework still so good with it
25616s but my eyes are also on the rest of this
25618s team Falcons roster as they come out of
25620s this defensive spawn proper on the Widow
25624s Maker proper versus lip in the Widow One
25627s V one maybe in for a
25629s treat we have to wait and
25631s see crazy raccoons rolling out the
25635s gate lip locking the
25638s Widow oh this is going to be a beautiful
25641s sight brig on a backline classic dive
25646s here for Falcons with the Tracer in the
25649s Winston Echo here from crazy raccoon
25653s not a bad pick to try to get around to
25655s that Anna in The Brak but proper is
25657s going to make that so difficult to do if
25659s you pe your head out if you're he's
25660s saying could just come clean
25662s off has just taking the classic Widow
25664s angle under the car wash here use the
25667s grapple to get away lip taking The High
25669s Ground now looking at
25671s Blue hoping the CER is going to be right
25673s there there's no way it's hard to uh
25676s hold blue box if you wi if you don't
25678s have like very forward uh forward front
25681s line back line as well you have to have
25682s your support like right top you pretty
25685s much just scared to poke his little head
25688s out that joke
25690s Point slowly but surely now crazy
25693s raccoon making the way
25695s uping with Smurf right now on that
25697s Winston to take control of this High
25699s Ground he CPS his head back up and try
25701s to deal with this backline good sleep
25704s onto Smurf should be able to get out oh
25705s Le actually hits his head 47 HP purple
25709s he got one oh hello shoot what's up
25712s oh didn't expect that
25715s one not every day you see an an take out
25718s of Winston that's for sure but the card
25721s stops there for crazy raccoon they have
25724s to go back to the drawing board come out
25725s of Spawn with some
25727s options stalker has a pulse bomb already
25730s both of these Winston having Primal Rage
25732s means that things can get a little bit
25733s chaotic in this next fight but field of
25735s first
25738s Tano good pick from blp sights in
25741s Tempest sent prob a little bit further
25743s behind here heang trying to take control
25745s of blue box towards a duplication as
25748s well Smurf's got a primal race to kind
25750s of fall back on here but doesn't want to
25751s use it right now at the very least good
25753s S I think they got bashed little bit of
25756s oh counter measure there but oh it's
25758s just stalker it's all stalker double
25760s pulse bomb kill Chong has got Nano on
25763s the point not sure you're going to live
25765s to see another day
25767s unfortunately what a defense so far
25772s wow it just picture perfect
25774s almost really one of the reasons why
25777s Korea has been so good at these dive
25779s compositions they've got a really good
25780s opposition to practice them into as well
25782s cre raccoon having so much trouble to
25784s get through it unless Li is going to be
25786s able to open up with another pick double
25788s sights for Li in the better position
25790s right now bubble on The High Ground oh
25792s proper look at disappointment in lip
25794s face there thought he could win the 1 V
25796s one prop now taking on jumin but little
25798s does he know a Primal Rage is in the
25800s near future for this WI oh good sleep
25803s look at the collapse on the Winston oh
25806s juming does not get out of their alive
25807s four players just jumping on that
25810s Winston even the rally was popped there
25811s for the bash play Everything thrown in
25814s to make sure jiming can't take down
25816s proper unfortunately probably just fall
25818s in the end however and he with the
25820s duplication here comes the later Rally
25822s from crazy raccoon and now with a nice
25825s position there from Shu sitting in
25827s server room there's basically three
25829s reain over this point now Smurf so low
25833s no chance to touch either very late
25835s rally there from seong ends up winning
25837s the fight exactly even though they had a
25840s player disadvantage that extra bit of
25843s sustain enough to be able to keep crazy
25845s raccoon in that fight Nobody Does that
25848s might stop them that might stop them in
25849s their tracks for just a little bit but
25851s yeah this dual between Fielder and shoe
25853s right now on these anas so clinical to
25856s be able to use these sleeps use those
25857s nades finish up all of these
25859s picks and the pulse what was that not
25862s even a Flinch on his face does this
25865s stuff every single day the back line for
25869s team Falcons collapsed on stalker taking
25871s it with him oh proper that's fine don't
25874s worry we've got another hard carry on
25875s the team too the stalker chasing down
25878s Jun we'll be Smurf finishing him
25883s off just over two minutes for crazy
25886s raccoon to try to finish up the second
25888s point but if stalker and proper keep
25890s playing like that I don't know they're
25891s going to be able to get through this
25893s hanger ship control going their wayer
25896s with the sight can help to stall them
25897s for a little bit more WIP them off
25901s the risky stuff there getting body shot
25905s helped with the kill sad looking bubble
25908s J he just lays asleep as the rest of his
25912s team are putting into to go box crazy
25914s raccoon just wipes and yeah jum been
25916s resetting minute and 50 seconds to go
25919s this has been just horrible for crazy to
25922s attack it's such a tough Point even with
25924s the recent changes recent and lip
25927s doesn't feel comfortable being able to
25928s take that Widowmaker duel either switch
25930s over to the Cassidy just a team fight to
25932s go has this Dead Eye to help a little
25935s bit here but it's going to be so tough
25936s to actually try to get up close and
25939s personal to the rest of this team since
25941s Cassidy will prefer a little bit shorter
25943s range than this
25945s Widowmaker oh Fielder with a a narrow
25948s narly Missle fortunately ended up hit in
25950s the bubble there's the Primal Rage every
25951s off The High Ground now as J tries to
25953s juggle this aror but looks like he's
25955s going to have to pay attention to his
25956s own backline just trying to protect it
25958s as Smurf equally using the Primal r two
25960s very angry winstons looking at each
25962s other but it is proper that starts the
25964s fight off strong with a head shot onto
25965s Chong J go for a small re-engage here as
25969s they're just hiding in this bubble oh
25971s stalker body blocks there Dynamic
25976s thr that's one way for the Cassidy to
25978s get back into the mix go into those
25982s closer rooms on the side CH just can't
25985s get away but Smurf is back with a
25989s vengeance my God classic dive two where
25993s you're just you're hoping your back line
25995s doesn't die first or you just trade it
26000s just trade it out and giving your trust
26002s over to the rest of the DPS but we're at
26004s 20 seconds remaining for crazy raccoon
26006s to try to get the second Point rally
26008s available from Shong as
26009s well how they sealed the deal last time
26012s around proper activating sights that'll
26014s be available until OT ticks 10 seconds
26017s 10 seconds to go and proper taking such
26019s a for position oh the fox in his way
26022s live down and prober can just play here
26024s just be a nuisance you have to deal with
26026s me but the rest of your team are going
26028s to get annihilated jum finally finding
26030s the kill onto proper and nanab boost
26031s onto Smurf as he jumps the back lines
26032s even with this rally it's going to be
26033s hard but he's going to make a a good job
26036s of it an anti actually landing on to
26038s jump in there and here comes the later
26039s Al sh with the Nanos spots the Tracer
26042s stalker forced to recall but Jim been
26044s waiting lying for waiting hopefully he
26046s can secure the kill but there's too many
26047s dashes on the Tracer and ends up getting
26049s away a bubble for chimin there to heal
26051s up all the way up to full HP as he props
26054s the prime one proper Chase to spawn it's
26057s O once more as crazy raccoon they're
26060s going to claim
26062s second that later n boost perfect in
26065s everything that the doctor had ordered
26066s for crazy raccoon on that second point
26069s and eventually this Cassidy able to win
26071s out in all of these damage
26073s trades but it comes down to this High
26076s Ground setup here from team Falcons
26078s wants to take that away in the
26079s opportunity from junin to be able to
26080s steal that hot ground you see Smurf set
26083s up there on that left hand side but
26085s proper still on this Widowmaker feeling
26088s impact able to make that for his
26091s team able to burst these bubbles pretty
26093s quickly too after a couple of these
26094s charge shots but he is kind of a Sitting
26096s Duck if he doesn't have the grapple
26098s online he's saying not one to test him
26102s Primal Rage from Smurf oh my
26106s word a small little bouncy castle in
26108s there pretty much Chate is gross we
26113s wouldn't expect anything less from a
26120s champion I mean talk about soccer too 30
26124s seconds remain now 30 seconds left for
26127s crazy raccoon one more chance of being
26129s able to make any more progress on this C
26132s nothing left in the tank either except
26134s for this rally so they're going to have
26135s to try to play close together but team
26137s Falcons they're pushed so far forward
26139s right now knowing that they have the
26140s rally of their own this n was to if
26142s things get rough every is so scattered
26144s lip can't get an angle here at all so
26146s Bob is going to have a priority one over
26147s him and the sight's up in 5 seconds so
26150s many Ops from team Falcons this time
26151s around two of the best arners to ever do
26153s it in in field and shoot they got to
26156s unleash the nanos at some point here
26158s comes the rally the stick is good the
26160s damage is there there but where's the
26162s follow up Mega help pack secure from
26163s Char to keep him in the fight but his
26165s shoes that falls there we go Smurf
26167s finding two and now they can continue
26170s the clean up is here Mega health pack
26173s stolen by stalker as well juming with a
26175s Primal Rage but I think it might be too
26177s little too late for the angry Winston
26181s he's stalling out time here there's not
26183s really much to say in this fight this
26185s Nano is good can he actually secure the
26187s kill he can Ching is back and killing
26189s Che but they don't touch
26193s [Applause]
26195s they don't touch the overtime wi could
26197s have been burning for so long they
26199s forgot about it
26201s sides oh no everything was going so
26205s right for them ini with the Primal Rage
26208s stall into the Nano boost for that extra
26210s little bit they just forgot about the
26213s objective so their cart push stops
26217s there and they could have done it too
26220s they were building up the other
26221s ultimates they were getting more
26223s reinforcements back from Spawn they
26225s killed the Anor as well managed to
26226s isolate that kill that Primal Rage you
26228s Liv for so long and then getting the
26230s Nano on top of
26232s that rough stuff there now it's up to
26235s their defense of course the map will end
26237s in this
26240s round see what the defense hold for us
26243s here with a crazy racon live not opting
26246s for the Widow now okay Cassidy a bit
26249s more front line damage like he was
26250s saying more
26252s consistent see if after want to do the
26254s same or maybe proper jumps over to the
26257s Widow I mean honestly the hero po both
26259s between stalker and proper is a me so be
26261s too surprised see this there's a lot of
26263s agency to the attacking team to be able
26265s to see lift on that Cassidy may make
26267s them feel more confident being able to
26269s come out on the Widowmaker right away
26271s you're able to counter pick just a
26273s little bit better when your spawns are
26275s this
26275s close but it isn't going to be the
26279s Winston that they're thinking about at
26281s this very moment seeing the dive on the
26283s other side going to lean into the
26285s Venture even though it's going to be
26286s more difficult with this
26288s verticality thr Dash to get up onto the
26291s high ground but you don't want to do
26293s that at all you want to use that to get
26295s away maybe isolate a kill true Dash
26298s straight into burrow once more lot of
26300s information gained and your presence too
26302s is sometimes enough to force a rotation
26305s Venture toughs take down in a one V one
26306s we mentioned previously from but they
26309s get a chance to play together so they
26311s can play around the C make crazy raccoon
26313s come to them they still could get
26315s surrounded though so it's going to be
26316s important for team Falcons to play
26318s around all of these cool Downs that
26319s crazy raccoon have look at that Mobility
26321s now gone for the Winston think about
26323s that think about these sleep DS as well
26326s from Shu these nades also being off the
26328s table c as well are juggling this ta
26331s very well manag to hold him there for a
26333s long time oh Pro takes the mega Health
26335s back a recoil so available from he
26337s doesn't need to use it diff's proper in
26340s the 1 V one
26341s a rare sight to
26343s behold but this card is still moving J
26346s now drops down with the bubble oh
26350s good those magnates they're so
26352s frustrating to play against if Adventure
26356s can't use any Mobility skills you
26357s basically sit there and your hit box a
26359s little bit larger than some of the other
26361s DPSS as well
26362s so quite an easy target to
26365s hit especially if you're left your only
26368s head shot pretty much
26371s down there too it's going to be another
26372s stop in this attack push for team
26375s Falcons unless they're able to make
26377s something else of this with another
26378s elimination for them but crazy raccoon
26380s they've got five ultimates that they're
26382s coming up to so how are team Falcons
26384s actually going to be able to get this
26386s done when they are missing a key member
26389s unfortunately himself there to the
26392s rescue though but like I mentioned
26393s before look they're juggling to the
26394s point he tank just sat here just
26396s preppering Smurf this whole time easy
26399s post bomb as well speaking of which oh
26402s proper tries to maiki on blue box shut
26404s down instantly with a nade this comp
26407s just isn't
26408s working the access to the back line is
26411s too
26413s difficult just look at how they're
26415s playing around this verticality too how
26417s is stalker going to actually get on top
26419s of Tong or Shu you can't if you're
26421s playing around blue box then this
26423s Venture doesn't have great access to get
26425s up there and harass you I wonder if
26426s they're regretting their decision now
26428s and playing this comp they got a lot of
26429s ult so they don't want to swap off and
26431s with a minute and 30 seconds to go to
26433s hell merry here if they do throw
26435s everything in end up swapping up it's
26437s going to be oh it's not going to be
26438s pretty they've got a win now sound bar
26441s available for Chio hit escorting Smurf
26443s oh stalkers out additional shielding
26447s there from using the ability he's paying
26449s off still have a chance here minute left
26452s at least they missed the pulse bomb he's
26454s s like it was going to go down to his
26455s own Porche bomb there rally on The High
26457s Ground to counteract that Rush this blue
26460s box fight oh goodbye lit pushed off the
26463s side of The High Ground by stalker but
26466s luckily they managed to follow it up
26468s with a couple of kills graac Ron's
26470s defense
26472s impenetrable so strong and they've also
26475s been able to limit so many options that
26477s team Falcons have in terms of being able
26479s to get this damage down proper just now
26481s switching over to the Widowmaker and
26483s stalker as well switching off the
26484s venture to go to this Tracer but it
26486s feels like it's too little too late with
26488s 30 seconds left Smurf has the cage but
26491s where are you going to actually be able
26492s to land it who are you locking in there
26494s with you when everybody has the ability
26496s to just run
26498s away with the Primal r two just keeping
26501s proper at Bay right now jump onto The
26503s High Ground releas an attempt there to
26505s join the rest of their team but you can
26506s see Smurf just jostling so tough for him
26509s you can't get up if you out you have to
26510s take that little H and proper is in the
26513s most unfair One V one in History Nice
26516s head shot onto Jim forces the bubble at
26517s least post bom is going to get suzu so
26521s team Falcons well they put the cage down
26524s they still need to deal with jumin
26526s Primal Rage available sha and Shu just
26528s need to survive Nano boost and the rally
26532s in their sights and with shio dead has a
26534s whole lot less healing available juming
26536s rejoins the fight is soda shoot oh this
26539s push from team Falcons it's all falling
26543s apart crazy
26546s raccoon they say you play Rush we play
26549s Dive jobs are good they take the lead in
26553s the series two to
26559s one what a scary dive team and I mean we
26564s knew that heading into this all stage
26566s long that has been the composition
26569s they've just been so dominant on not
26571s that team Falcons is not a good dive
26572s team themselves probably a scarier
26574s position for any other team which made
26576s it to dream hack Dallas but if you're
26577s going up against the
26579s bestest it's it's tough man I mean they
26582s switched over to Dem Mar at the very end
26584s I mean for me this is a good sign right
26586s I remember back when goats was you know
26588s completely dominant meta the sign for me
26590s when I knew all hope was lost for any
26592s other strategy was jalter it was when
26594s you could have any Heroes you wanted on
26596s The High Ground we don't care we're
26597s going to just sit on the card and push
26599s it and I saw them roll up Maga me and
26601s Johnny were like uhoh is it is this
26602s going to work but no the Anna nting you
26605s from The High Ground a player like Shu
26607s lip so uncontested can't beat it yeah
26609s and I feel like they made their bed
26610s picking that that MAA pick right because
26612s no nothing was really had to be said
26613s like oh you have to play Ma on attack
26615s like no way like they could have totally
26616s played the die we actually thought that
26618s you know it was incredibly respectable
26619s kind of like hold right and so we were
26621s thinking like oh I mean they're looking
26622s fantastic right now we're seeing Smurf
26624s have a really impactful Winston play
26626s stalker was just dominating all over the
26628s place and so I thought you know we we
26630s pretty much had a falcon win on our
26631s hands I think it was a really good look
26632s for them on the defense so I'm quite
26634s surprised to see that they picked the
26635s MAA it was obviously like a choice that
26637s they said like Hey we're actually going
26639s to come out we actually believe that the
26640s m can deal with the Winston but like you
26642s said Jake the on The High Ground with
26644s the bades uh it was a pretty dominant
26646s win there from uh Chris run yeah are
26648s growing up against the Best in Class not
26650s just on di but also on the individual
26652s Heroes they're actually playing it on so
26654s scary scary looks uh of course Shala is
26657s very conducive to be able to play that
26659s di other Maps might not be uh as
26663s accommodating for that Jake I mean this
26665s is the map in the pool where you're
26666s going to put your on on high ground and
26668s I mean the MAA not contesting that
26670s trying to just for his car we saw once
26672s heang was just holding down the car on
26673s Tracer they couldn't really do anything
26675s to get get him off I mean you're so
26677s worried peeking out I mean lip raining
26679s down head shots sh just going H but
26683s honestly I think I think this is a
26684s mistake I think they should have kept
26685s fighting the mirror because stalker and
26687s Smurf together this was disgusting I
26690s mean to be honest graci raccoon barely
26692s got the point all the way to Third and
26694s for me I would have loved to see Falcon
26696s stick with the dive and win on that
26698s style too it would have been a huge win
26700s in the series and I think they might be
26701s kicking themselves but now crazy raccoon
26704s up two maps in the series that might
26705s have been a bit of a cheese compared to
26707s what is probably going to decide the
26708s series in the malam mirror so I still
26710s think Falcons have a good shot of two
26712s maps I mean you're you're starting to
26713s get a little worried right it might be
26715s off meta pick but sometimes those pocket
26717s picks are what you need to win a
26718s championship so far it's been a back and
26720s forth though once more of course the
26722s loser gets to pick the map and the map
26724s type obviously they would want to avoid
26726s any other dive situations as they
26729s clearly were not comfortable until the
26731s and to take that mirror even though it
26732s might have looked better for them if
26733s they would have done that so where are
26736s we taking this next looking at our map
26738s set here well I feel like there are a
26740s couple of options now well actually
26741s there are a couple of options yeah um
26743s looking at here we have hybrid and push
26745s remaining of course there are a couple
26746s of options yeah but you know uh looking
26749s at the last years of course uh you know
26751s uh Falcons did win new Queen Street for
26753s example we saw Midtown in the previous
26755s series did not end as well for example
26757s so you know there are a couple of Ops
26759s here could see something like key row is
26760s very close corner for example and if you
26761s want to keep playing Genji Adventure
26763s that could be a path you could go here
26765s but given that you also won the push map
26768s the previous round it's a question of
26769s comfortability where do you want to go
26771s next I like kings um could consider new
26773s Queen Street because that was a
26775s victorious map the last time these teams
26776s face off but I think Kings would be
26778s smarter here get rid of Midtown get rid
26780s of Nani Hollywood some of the longer
26782s range better hit scan Maps the pool I
26785s think Kings Row probably decisively the
26787s worst map for hit scan at least in the
26789s magam miror where maybe Widow can be
26791s good on first and third but not really
26793s going to play that with the manga so for
26795s me I'd love to see KR I think that might
26797s be the best pick here but new Queen
26798s Street I mean you did just win on this
26800s map exactly the map is great here and
26802s that's exactly what they're thinking
26804s they want to get the momentum going
26805s again and that's why they will be taking
26807s us to new Queen Street a map their prevy
26810s one can they do it again let's find out
26813s as we're heading into this next push map
26816s of course there is stuff we can take
26818s away from it though because
26821s Oasis also went their away last time
26823s around but crazy raccoon had an answer
26824s this time around what should crazy
26826s raccoon change up on this push map I
26828s think the key is in shutting down the
26830s batist from Fielder um how you do that
26832s it's going to be difficult I think hit
26834s scan could be tough on new Queen
26835s straight as well I think I mean as much
26837s as the longrange hit scan maybe a
26839s sojourn something like that but so far
26840s we really haven't seen that come out I
26842s think potentially sojourn too reliant on
26844s one single cool down to escape the Dives
26847s Venture Genji has so far been
26849s devastating and Li I I don't think the
26850s Tracer is going to do it I just don't
26852s think the damage is really there from
26853s the hero yeah I think actually it's
26855s really important something we don't
26856s really talk about but I think it's
26857s actually really important here for czy
26859s raccoons to get into the lead because
26861s one thing I noticed with Falcons last
26862s time we saw new Queen Street they're
26863s actually really comfortable holding the
26865s lead and holding down the for when you
26867s know that you already have the lead on
26868s push you can sit back you can hold
26870s angles in a way where you don't have to
26872s push the corners and especially if
26873s you're playing a batist if you can PL
26875s your plant your batist on the defense on
26877s a good sideline on a high ground or an
26879s off angle where where it's really hard
26881s for someone like LIF to have a lot of
26882s impact on the Cassidy that could pay
26884s dividends for Falcons so if I'm crazy
26886s raccoons I want to get into a lead early
26888s so I Force Falcons to push around some
26891s of these awkward Corners with a batist
26892s for example and maybe are forcing
26894s Falcons to extend around some of those
26896s close Corners especially on new Queen
26897s Street right where the B is walking
26899s there's some pretty hard Corners to
26900s navigate there so I want PR raccoons if
26902s they want to win this map I think they
26904s have to take an early lead do you think
26905s there is uh any chance for
26908s some I don't know more cheesy
26910s compositions here maybe a little out of
26912s pocket pick I mean push for me is such a
26915s dynamic map type there's so much
26916s constant brawling constant fighting I I
26919s don't think these teams should swap off
26921s MAA I think this is going to be
26922s necessary to be able to hold down the
26924s car one of those things we haven't
26925s talked about with Venture is how
26927s effective they are at holding the car
26928s while Maga might not want to expose
26930s themselves Venture could really fill
26931s that role so let's see what micro
26933s adaptations they bring in this next
26935s [Music]
26937s map well welcome to New Queen streets
26941s Falcon's Choice like so said that they
26944s won before however the start of the
26947s series didn't exactly go their way
26948s either so anybody's guess how this is
26951s going to go but all I want to know is is
26953s this going to go to the full map seven I
26956s hope so the audience hope so I can
26958s imagine everybody watching at home hope
26960s so as well let have a little look though
26963s what they're going to be
26965s playing is there going to be a of off
26967s meta yeah well we can expect that team
26969s Falcons are going to lean more into this
26972s Genji and this Venture one of the
26973s reasons why we've seen a lot of teams
26975s want to pick this new Queen Street map
26976s is because of how good this malga can be
26979s but as we head of the gates crazy
26981s raccoon they don't want to play the
26983s mirror they're going to lean into this
26985s wrecking ball pick from johnin alongside
26987s this soldier from lip more H for
26991s them very close knock back resistance on
26995s the tanks right but still pretty scary
26997s stuff with there's two boots exactly
27000s far and the ball and the Lucio yeah got
27003s three yeah three actually a CC oh proper
27008s on the wrong end of the rail gun there
27009s same with st wrong end of the star from
27012s crazy
27014s raccoon great map here for soier the Des
27018s talks a little bit about how the Cassidy
27019s might have some limitations with these
27021s longer sight lines that soier can play a
27023s little bit farther away and you can see
27026s just how much impact one of these
27027s charged rail gun shots can have
27029s immediately Tak
27031s out of the equation and giving so much
27032s space here for crazy raccoon but got to
27034s be careful that's why is there I'm sorry
27037s just sliding into the front line like
27039s that I got you that b moving for free
27042s too they're looking at the SW doors
27043s right now suu from Shu just coming in
27047s there to save lip and really making lip
27051s sing can't get taken down and maybe even
27053s get this checkpoint to he's playing
27055s Brown far right now with all of this
27058s spam team Falcons have already already
27060s made an adjustment they can't get there
27062s to the checkpoint though I don't think
27064s soccer doesn't want to be able to deal
27065s with this bu is dead
27068s already got killed with a grapple of all
27070s things swung into nice damage in the
27073s sticky bombs oh but he sang One
27076s HP so is now a million pieces all over
27080s the snow checkpoint already we're only
27083s what a minute and 45 seconds into the
27085s game and crazy raccoons have a
27086s substantial read oh what's that prop is
27089s dead as well
27091s going back to spawn stalker already
27093s taking another adjustment here doesn't
27095s want to play the Echo goes for the
27097s souljour over there I think from E maybe
27101s a little it worked it worked though
27103s already G in the Highlight package for
27104s sure all right pop now in control of
27107s team Falcons they're trying to just
27109s grasp it straws here trying to find out
27111s how to control this game yeah but crazy
27113s raccoon are okay with that look at how
27115s big of a lead they were able to get in
27117s just the first 2 and 1/2 minutes of this
27119s game he's saying with the Venture play
27121s around the Minefield from John as they
27123s come back oh Fielder I don't think got
27125s anything to say in this fight beautiful
27128s Boop from junin and a slam to boot to I
27132s mean these won bable changes are
27134s disgusting and nice little boot giio is
27137s attempting to survive actually he's like
27140s an endangered species this whole
27142s backline from Dean Falcons they just
27144s getting focused out by just jumping I
27147s mean what do you do against this
27151s I don't know what you really can do if
27153s you want to try to play around this
27154s Wrecking Ball with a lead already mind
27157s you team Falcons have struggled to
27160s figure out how they want to actually
27161s approach this and fielder doesn't have
27164s Swip step doesn't have suu can't get out
27166s of there this gets flattened into a
27168s pancake kills one sets up for the next
27170s kills one sets up for the next playing P
27173s back there
27175s Boer don't test
27177s him all right here he comes here little
27180s mini ends here comes another deadly
27183s ultimate that being lips rail gun oh
27186s slight straight out of the cage to yeah
27188s unfortunately that's a giant Shield your
27191s aim's pretty sick CP but I'm not sure it
27192s penetrates surfaces like
27195s that Cy raccoon are still playing from
27199s this advantageous position they got a
27202s huge meter reach each still in even
27205s extending that in these last couple of
27206s fights while they get picked off here
27208s and team Falcons get a chance to control
27210s they have yet to win a clean team fight
27212s they are pinging the ball and the Ping
27214s is in the Sky Box like attached to one
27217s of the buildings absurd might as well
27219s again for slam tectonic shock a lot CC
27223s exactly and a way to change the
27225s architecture of the map so you're
27226s playing into their own
27228s hands sooner Rush two to maybe layer
27231s over where you expect them to go after
27232s you drop those
27233s alss oh what did prop to say about this
27237s suu stops the slam damage coming in here
27239s comes the over clock jumin finally
27242s killed off it took them a long time but
27244s they finally managed to do it moving in
27247s their favor now they try and find these
27250s exit
27250s kills team Falcons finally finding their
27253s footing in this map took them about half
27256s of the time being to do it though but
27257s they are starting to work towards that
27259s first checkpoint for themselves a lot of
27261s ultimates for them to work with to the
27263s sound bear from Chio be really nice to
27266s have even just as overhal heal with this
27268s tectonic shock oh there one fi is
27270s already dead can't rely on the katun
27273s rush any longer without your KIRO shio
27276s is beating in the skies but crazy Ron
27279s they're just going to walk over team
27283s Falcons they have no
27285s answers so crazy raccoon's come 50 m to
27288s 83 obviously the checkpoint as well for
27290s crazy raccoon right now and they've got
27292s double support Al for this next fight
27293s yeah the beat was just too late to be
27294s able to save Fielder there you have the
27296s kitune rush for this next one but
27298s pairing it with what
27301s potentially ready want be to they can't
27305s see him no can't see himing up there
27309s little Christmas ornament slam straight
27311s back down stalker almost didn't get the
27313s B off there chio's the target for jiming
27316s here comes to beat what's scarier than
27317s jimin's reckon B jumin's reckon B with
27319s 12200
27321s HP proper just turned into
27325s DNA crazy raccoon running away with this
27328s with a team kill
27330s this is looking too easy this is not
27332s looking like the team Falcons we saw
27333s earlier they just haven't had a chance
27336s to figure out how to deal with this and
27337s it's almost becoming too late stalker oh
27339s he's picked four different DPS Heroes
27341s now to try to figure out how to counter
27342s this back on the Venture but this is
27345s almost the full completion for crazy
27347s raccoon they got the cage but can they
27349s actually get off this time around who
27351s are they going to
27352s hit too much Mobility on the side of
27355s crazy raccoon to really feel like you're
27356s going to have a chance he's need help
27358s and Jim into the rescue slams down to
27359s make they Gets Out Alive cage available
27361s from serve spots Li grabs two P for in
27364s hand proper as well might not even need
27365s it for the kill on to lip nice little
27367s kill there from stalker as they
27369s eventually once again gain control of
27371s the PO they're 57 M away from the lead
27373s and jumin is flying through the
27376s air he's going to get away not sure prop
27379s well maybe I mean 200 hp prob got a B
27381s bomb too but doesn't want to really
27383s engage on that kill at all he has to
27385s join the rest of his team otherwise his
27387s team are going to get run over in the
27388s front line and he can't overextend
27389s because who know he's waiting in the
27390s wings for
27392s him the front line okay liit dead a nice
27395s Chase there but Fielder ends up going
27397s down too from Chon stalker taking to
27400s this little cafe room here but a switch
27402s step from Shoot to get out of there this
27405s little b didn't go all of anywhere there
27407s stalk just hit the the frame of the
27409s window uhoh and yeah lives in spawn
27412s buddy by the way remember when you
27413s killed that guy yeah he's back prob with
27415s the B bomb trying to Chas down Shu
27417s there's the suu already used as well as
27419s a Swift step proper with the pulse hits
27421s the Reco doesn't want to go for it gets
27424s out there alive but they've already lost
27426s ster and barely too almost walked into
27430s the drill from heang waiting for him
27432s thisa rush shoot too it's about to be so
27435s deadly SAR is coming out from both sides
27438s slam from the skies from junin just
27440s pushing the back Smurf right now shio
27442s down to lip poer trying to chase jumin
27446s away I mean look he's only trying to get
27448s Smurf out of there he's trying help but
27451s there's nothing that can help team
27452s Falcons right now he sang too trying to
27455s push away the DPS and the supports what
27458s a late kill onto Fielder two two minutes
27461s to go forward spawns achieved again from
27463s crazy raccoon and crazy raccoon are so
27466s happy to have all of these fights be 1 V
27468s ones 1 V2s the longer these fights
27471s extend the better they're able to be
27472s able to win this fight and this map and
27475s with this overclock approaching these
27478s spawn doors where can Team FAL hide from
27480s this might just end right here right
27482s now's got anything to say about it cage
27484s available from Smurf but look how low he
27486s is there's no one to pin down a good
27488s disengage there by crazy raccoon
27490s spotting that Fielder using that ksun
27493s Rush Jing rolling in rolling out here
27496s comes the charge Smurf trying to lock
27497s people in but every just dashes away
27499s there's too much ability he finds one
27501s it's actually heang Burrows up straight
27503s into Smurf's losos and an easy ultimate
27507s but with only a minute to go this a M
27510s vus level Mountain they're going to have
27512s to climb now cuz 50 m and not even the
27515s checkpoint you can stall out here if you
27517s crazy Rec second you really can and with
27520s the minefields too it might even just be
27522s able to pressure everybody off of Point
27524s sub one minute territory back over into
27527s their
27528s territory but team Falin they got to get
27532s something done here with this tonic
27533s shotgun stalker crazy raccoon they just
27535s keep pushing the aggression well they
27537s are per stalling the bot right now as he
27539s s
27540s and here comes the mines quickly dealt
27542s with though by stalker you can see doing
27544s a bit of a bit of clean
27546s up that's all like no damage on the the
27549s enemy team speaking of which he's saying
27551s hit the parro has to stalker chasing him
27554s true to his Nam sake getting he getting
27556s on top heang or at least trying to Tonic
27558s shock Mar finding too much there from
27560s heang either kitun Rush might just be
27562s the end of it all though is team Falcons
27564s only have 15sec scope to try and take
27566s the lead Smurf is already down aul bom
27568s on the floor but no two is doing beat
27570s will see them through this fight surely
27572s lip on The High Ground on this bus he
27574s spots stalker at his sights and stalker
27576s just eradicated overtime in session as
27579s crazy raccoons are going to close this
27581s one out there's only one person left
27584s it's the Superstar proper but he is
27586s snuffed out crazy
27588s raccoon they're looking at match point
27591s in this series it's only Smurf left but
27595s there's almost no
27597s hope a 31 lead now for crazy raccoon
27601s team Falcons confused at what just
27605s happened confused that yet another tank
27608s pick that caught them by surprise
27610s wrecking ball on a map that we see a lot
27612s of malga from able to get the job done
27615s for crazy raccoon and get them to this
27617s match point
27618s scenario what a wild ride we have been
27621s on here in the grand finals of dream
27623s hack
27624s Dallas they're showing us everything
27627s here taking a page out of reinforces
27629s book your ball didn't quite succeed in
27631s show match looks like they got a better
27633s read though I mean you Queen Street if
27635s there was a map designed for Wrecking
27637s Ball this would be the map but I don't
27639s think anyone expected to see that
27641s competition come out in this Grand
27643s finals I mean it's an amazing call they
27645s come out to that early lead and then
27646s they can just protect that lead on push
27648s but like pulling out wrecking ball jnan
27651s is the best wrecking ball in the world
27652s and the the M way he just navigated that
27655s map that was Brilliance right there in
27657s the ways that like no one else in the
27659s world can you look so happy this is J's
27662s Revenge man he is coming out swinging on
27665s the ball and we talked so much about
27666s flexibility we talk so much about these
27668s DPS counter picks it's going to decide
27670s this series I don't think anybody saw
27672s ball coming except junin did you know
27674s and the confidence the faith you see why
27676s this team has played ball time and time
27678s again and I thought oh it can't work
27680s it's not consistent you can't find the
27682s way but without junin doing miracles on
27685s the wrecking ball I don't think you
27687s could bring out lip so I'm not sure you
27689s can win this map in the mirror but it's
27691s jman's ball just absolutely taking over
27694s doing different things on this hero I
27696s mean you were saying it during the map
27698s as well L like there's just so much
27699s chaos in the map you thought you had
27701s this pretty predetermined MAA matchup
27703s and then the chaos that junin brings now
27705s you have a soj as well that just you
27707s know lip is popping off the best hit
27709s scan player in the world he can navigate
27710s with a slide go aggressive flanking
27712s overclocks like it's just so much to
27714s deal with it's overwhelming for Falcons
27716s that it was just an amazing pick by
27718s crazy raccoon I am just floored by like
27720s the level of strategic depth and this is
27722s coming out of junin who again not that
27725s much stage experience he doesn't have a
27727s ton of experience in these Grand finals
27728s matchups right and to just bring out
27731s Heroes like roadhog like w ball just I
27734s am just amazed at the level of play
27735s we're seeing from him honestly after
27737s just those last few Maps if you want to
27740s really consider an MVP candidate I mean
27742s jman is putting in the work he's putting
27745s himself into that discussion what a
27747s crazy performance on the variet of
27750s Heroes and also just to it goes to show
27752s how much depth there actually is to
27754s Crazy raccoon they're showing us so much
27757s variation so many very specific
27759s compositions clearly designed for those
27761s maps and for this opponent they came
27763s into that upper bracket final thinking
27765s you know what we've got to win with the
27766s Maga we can make it work with lip on the
27768s Cassidy getting shut down there though I
27770s think jun's ball this is not a prepared
27773s strategy I promise you crazy raccoon did
27775s not think this is going to be this is
27777s desperation but to be in desperation and
27779s still find place like this on the ball
27781s still locked in with lip turning proper
27784s to Pink Mist time and time again that
27786s was just a disgusting map of New Queen
27788s Street Johnny now of course only hybrid
27791s is left as a mode they still get to pick
27793s them upap uh which of those would you
27795s consider the least diving the least
27798s diving well we talked about it in the
27799s last game break actually we we both
27801s agree that we think King Strow is the
27802s pick here you know Hollywood there a lot
27804s of high ground for example we seen some
27805s Cy far being played this before it's
27807s going to be king Ro in fact and I think
27809s FAL I think you're just desperate to
27811s play more close combat braw more maybe
27813s of that Genji and Adventure you don't
27815s want to allow czy raccoons to change up
27818s the game change up the pace of the game
27819s and play these all these different
27821s styles right so I think it's back to MAA
27824s Genji Venture that's what you want to
27826s see from Falcons and King St is the
27827s perfect map for it I think this is a map
27828s you're not going to see the ball I think
27830s it's very difficult to cheese the Maga
27831s here so if Falcons can win this map on
27834s the bread and butter continue to play
27836s well I think it's going to be a lot of
27837s pressure on the coaches during Kings Row
27839s you've got to find an answer for some of
27841s these off meta ball picks H been coming
27843s in for Smurf as well bringing a more
27845s reserved style but coming in cold Off
27848s the Bench crazy raccoons serious point I
27852s mean cold Off the Bench though that's a
27854s good thing to talk about here Johnny we
27856s discussed this already with our guests
27858s uh yay or nay how you feeling about Call
27860s of the bench hin well I was never on the
27862s bench cuz we didn't have Subs back in my
27864s day so I can't comment on that directly
27867s but it is an interesting change up I
27868s mean we saw for example in the previous
27870s series SSG they came down to King as
27872s well and they opted to play some more
27873s Sigma there is some High Ground
27874s especially on that first point I it's
27877s it's a bit of a I don't want to say it's
27878s desperation just yet because these guys
27880s are so calculated they obviously have a
27881s plan going into this one but it is it is
27884s the telling that they're not leaving
27885s Smurf in maybe they have something that
27887s isn't MAA in the cards here maybe there
27889s is some composition they're thinking
27891s they can maybe beat out CH raccoon here
27893s with so you see it as well on your
27895s screens crazy raccoon undefeated on
27897s hybrid against falcon three and zero but
27901s uh if both teams have shown us anything
27903s is that none of these stats matter
27904s because they just keep on Flipping it on
27906s its tail yeah I don't know if this is a
27908s a question of preparation at this point
27910s this is a battle of wills I think
27912s bringing hanin in is a way to change the
27915s style up even if you continue playing
27916s the Maga which honestly I expect from
27918s Falcons I think hrin brings a different
27921s more measured style less aggressive less
27924s less all in your face I think hman can
27925s bring maybe slowing that Tempo down
27927s maybe responding to some of these Dives
27929s a little more tactically he's got the
27931s hero pics as well also a ton of depth
27934s much like Smurf so I think this is an
27935s opportunity for Falcons to take a
27937s different approach on the series while
27938s still relying on their preparation
27940s what's brought them this far I think if
27942s you're just going back to the drawing
27943s board maybe it's already over I think
27945s you probably do need to stick with Thea
27946s even with h i mean honestly at this
27948s point we've seen roadog we've seen
27950s Wrecking Ball and like if you just think
27952s back to like some of the legendary hanin
27954s moments of past years you know hanin an
27957s OverWatch League champion he's been so
27958s good on so so many different tag Heroes
27960s known for picking up Heroes early and
27962s having such a vast hero pool I mean
27964s we've seen brilliant play coming out of
27965s him on junker Queen for example The sya
27968s Meta back when we had like sya Reaper
27969s metas there's so many different tag
27971s Heroes that hanin can play I'm just
27973s after I've Just Seen Wrecking Ball and
27975s roog I'm like I'm not I'm just I'm just
27977s taking a step back because obviously I
27979s do I still do still think that if you're
27981s putting putting hin in there has to be
27983s some like ulterior motive besides the
27985s MAA and I'm just so curious to see what
27987s he could be so am I we have to wait wait
27989s a few moments more to see what they have
27992s in store for us on Kings Row as we're
27994s experiencing a few Tech issues on the
27995s stage but for now we're heading into a
27996s very quick trailer and then afterwards

28087s you can fight for your slot you could be
28089s up here on this stage I mean that is a
28090s one in a million shot you do have to
28092s beat some of the best players in the
28093s world just to be here but it's possible
28096s and that's a new era for OverWatch
28097s Esports are you still in the running for

28107s right and as he just said you could
28108s literally be playing on the stage in
28110s fact we had two of the face players
28112s playing on this very stage just
28114s yesterday in our show match which was so
28117s much fun you guys kind of dropped the
28118s spaghetti but that's okay uh it was
28120s certainly not the fault of the okay
28122s we're just just blame that guys but you
28124s know what we got a real game going
28126s that's right match point for crazy
28129s raccoon can get get it done let's find
28132s out in five 4 3 2 1 let's go
28142s that's right so Match Point here for
28145s crazy
28147s raccoons they want to remain dominant
28151s over in the Asian region look at the end
28152s of the day you lose one match it's all
28154s good you get that second chance lost to
28157s Falcons in the upper
28158s bracket now back in the grand finals to
28161s Face Off Kings Rose the map Falcon
28165s Choice Falcons got their work cut out
28167s for them they have yet to be crazy
28170s raccoon on a hybrid Choice falling to
28173s them three times in a row I can bald
28175s Hollywood and Midtown Kings Row being
28178s their pick of poison the only one left
28180s in the map pool that they don't have to
28182s play the dive on could have picked
28184s numani but it is going to be Kings Row
28186s as team Falcons they get ready to go on
28189s this attack and see if they can make
28190s some magic
28191s happen be the MAA here deal with
28195s actually di crazy back's
28197s defense dive on the defense versus what
28200s you got to expect craer know that team
28202s Falcons are going to run in that Mal
28204s they're thinking about it though take a
28205s look at hanen waiting very patiently
28207s figuring out how to tactically approach
28209s this crazy raccoon set up on this dive
28212s they are so spread out where are team
28214s Falcons going to really put their
28215s emphasis first yeah you said to me in
28217s the break Rose you said well if we do go
28218s to King's Row it will be heang on the
28220s far and that's exactly what we're
28222s getting here and yeah exactly that
28224s proper having an angle to actually shoot
28226s the far almost impossible n landing on
28228s the front line that's going to be the
28230s biggest hindrance here for hanin yeah
28232s there's a suzu but it's so tough to get
28235s stuff done like you need the suzu to
28236s survive a lot of this damage to being
28238s thrown out by Crazy R he's already half
28240s P has yet to have a full HP pool coming
28244s back out of Spawn maybe now a brief fres
28246s fight will get him back up top up but he
28249s saying is still being such a menace
28250s you're trapped in this small room right
28252s now with these fire Rockets hitting you
28254s from above inured though nice reaction
28258s there from he s just away end up going
28260s up to The High Ground oh this is where
28262s far is just wonderful to play Not
28264s Getting drot By prop that is of course s
28267s takes down shule people must have been a
28269s long flank for S to be up here on this
28271s High Ground eang takes down shio it's
28274s bit a rumble here a Royal Rumble in this
28276s corner of the map going to being capped
28279s by team Falcons but he's he's is still
28282s kill finally ends up falling over but he
28285s might have done enough damage to
28286s actually make team Falcons recall of
28289s maybe rethink about pressuring this
28290s point we'll see if they want to go in
28292s jumping only 20% to W
28296s oh 20% towards the Primal but a nice
28299s boot secures the cap of team Falcons
28302s could have had it too I mean Shu had the
28303s Nan already and waiting for him didn't
28305s even need the Primal Rage in order to go
28306s back in and contest that point but Chio
28309s saved the day opened up this payload for
28311s team Falcons
28319s barrage available for heang perfect spot
28321s to use as well standing on The High
28324s Ground right or in the Sky Box almost
28326s that barrage is going to be deadly
28328s proper switch over to the echo though
28330s little bit more of an aerial unit to try
28331s to deal with he SS
28333s far po one from s went wide heard the
28336s explosion no kills builder in trouble
28339s though use suu on himself and look at
28341s that push from heang him and Chong just
28344s teaming up there using that rally to pin
28346s shio in the book stop making sure he
28348s return turns his library books on
28350s time three and a bit minutes to go now
28353s and the hardest point of this map to
28356s really contend with it your
28358s Falcons especially when you've got that
28360s card stopped where it is because where
28363s are team Falcons going to actually go
28365s through to grab their payload when
28367s you've got he saying that still has yet
28368s to let this fa garage loose there's no
28371s cover you have to walk out into a wave
28373s of bullets and a wave of rockets too as
28376s goes the Cent unfortunately no real
28380s chance there for charu to kind of get in
28381s your face they're way too far away they
28383s don't want to be in the front line so
28385s that cage is a three kill and that was a
28387s really big victory for team Falcons to
28389s grab because that does get this payload
28390s moving once again and out of that
28392s dangerous territory of the heing far
28394s barrage from being way too powerful
28397s still has yet to let a rip but proper
28398s has been able to mark it down and that
28400s is going to limit he thingss opportunity
28402s cost to get onto this backline
28405s duplication available from proper too
28407s could just dup saf far maybe maybe go
28410s for this win that's the ego move but I
28411s want to see it honestly I'm down heang
28414s in a little bit of trouble there's the
28415s rush forcing heang away they know he's
28417s got barrage but what else do they know
28419s crazy raccoons have n boost available
28421s from Sho too but I mean lip pops the OC
28425s just handily taking care of prop I me
28427s there's no way you're going to stand up
28428s to that forc to back off now and this
28431s again same situation same problem right
28434s now that Falcons are going to have to
28435s overcome his crazy raccoon they're just
28437s going to play up to this sh
28439s and Falcons are going to need to have a
28440s lot of ultimates to get past that second
28442s Point as well so not only do you have to
28445s break past this Archway which they do a
28446s good job of doing right now but they
28448s still have to get this part over the
28450s second point and they only have the
28452s duplicate in the pulse bomb at the
28453s moment give my man's Nano boost give it
28455s to hea get him over the top that barrage
28457s is going to be deadly there it is he's
28459s going in barrage but a good time suzu
28462s from field was perfect still though
28464s damage in s dead those Rockets are
28466s flying but they're flying a little bit
28468s wide he now to back out the duplication
28470s onto the Winston a leap in available but
28473s look at the healthful of course not as
28474s big as a normal Winston is and you can
28476s tell right there prop having to recoil
28478s shifts backwards in order to stay alive
28481s wait for hanin to come back in was
28483s hoping that the duplicate would be
28484s enough though in order to pressure crazy
28486s raccoon back and maybe even get them up
28488s to this double support ultimate ster
28490s with the pulse stom too bre potential
28492s sound bar in as soon as they got it
28494s they're launching in and there you go
28495s the post bomb on Sho should open things
28497s up there's a minute and 20 seconds to go
28501s does juming commit the Primal Rage
28502s taking a fair bit of damage here but he
28504s knows he has to survive for a little bit
28506s longer than the Primal Rage and his
28507s 1,000 HP to master that should be his
28511s second point now only a minute to go but
28513s team Falcons they'll take anything now
28515s they're going to give it up even if
28517s Jumpin had been able to invest the
28519s Primal Rage there there was not going to
28520s be any followup to make good use of the
28522s stall that he would be able to provide
28524s onto that c and now you're in these more
28527s Close Quarters for he just as real
28530s estate with these Rockets Little D oh sh
28533s not sure I skated over that rocket but
28536s he managed to get away nonetheless
28537s barrage from heang no Nano to follow up
28539s this time around but the spam damage is
28541s too much a direct or even just a little
28543s extra damage and the lift just follows
28545s up with a
28546s rail no Shields available for team
28548s Falcons mean they have way more damage
28551s they're going to be taking every single
28552s time they try to come back to that c
28554s stalker though making a big change up
28556s going to go over to the Venture a little
28558s bit more initiation capability alongside
28561s this malga they've got a couple of
28562s ultimates to spare here too quite like
28564s it but look at the ultimates coming
28565s through crazy Ru they got five of them
28568s definitely the advantage is already dead
28570s a good Kill from lip just ends his life
28572s and with a minute and 30 seconds to go
28574s team Falcons they're on the back foot a
28576s double anade on the back line is Fielder
28578s and Shu have to pull back and just wait
28582s crazy raccoon have been so patient with
28584s these ultimates too would not surprise
28585s me if they didn't throw all five of
28586s these at this next fight giving them
28588s more likes to stand on as his C starts
28590s to wind down cage and an insta kill on
28593s jumin now they might have to that's
28595s exactly what you needed exactly how they
28597s won that fight previous just focusing
28600s jumen out still n onto Harin but it's
28602s not going to mean all too
28604s much one minute to go crazy raccoon
28607s still have five ultimates in their bank
28609s and they were able to get such a big one
28611s out of that cage OC popped from lip he's
28614s hunted for targets but the duplication
28615s from proper it's going to be a little
28617s bit of hindrance bar from ch2 they're
28620s throwing everything in here but Chon
28621s unable to stay alive a duplication Prime
28624s R into the spawn he pushes lip all the
28626s way back he's going to heal all the way
28628s up but now there's no damage on the
28630s point for crazy raccoon and prop has
28632s gone out and done
28634s it still a little bit of meterage for
28636s this card to go Chon coming back out
28638s with this break but this Winston is
28640s going to be the biggest saving rce here
28641s for crazy oh and he can't even get it
28643s off Harin takes him down the cardiac
28646s over drive to just see them through this
28648s proper leving up for team Falcons a
28652s tectonic shock also available Shu the
28655s focus now ends up going down to Harin
28657s and now they can focus down the Winston
28659s nothing much left but they want overtime
28663s and with 5 Seconds three two the recall
28666s from the Tracer one and they get
28669s [Applause]
28672s it plenty of stall to get the
28675s overtime they're going to be so happy
28678s about that one but here's the next step
28682s in that journey is completing the map
28684s with over a minute to spare so that they
28686s are the only ones that get another
28688s attack
28692s push proper the very end there went
28696s absolutely nuclear on the echo the
28699s duplication the Primal getting it very
28701s quickly just forcing lip into the spawn
28703s and then as soon as that happen sho's
28705s just on his Lonesome near the payload
28707s not much you can do the honor of that
28709s situation I mean you're looking at
28710s sleeping n in the Mal you have to deal
28711s with the Duke Winston too like that
28713s ain't happen but then stalker on the
28715s Venture showing everybody the capability
28717s the power that that hero pick can have
28720s in some of those final moments the
28722s tectonic shock underneath the C to push
28725s everybody away finish up those picks get
28727s that stall that you really want to have
28730s so good on crazy raccoon and make sure
28732s that that was going to be an overtime
28734s completion but as team Falcons get ready
28737s for the defense they want lean a little
28739s bit more into this Mal comp that c
28741s raccoon don't want to match them
28744s on maybe they'll think about it again as
28746s they start to see these gates
28748s open I think this maybe this was their
28751s grand answer something they were cooking
28753s up in the lab for a long time and only
28754s just showing up
28758s [Applause]
28762s now match point for crazy raccoon and a
28765s very clear win condition just finish
28769s with more than a minute to get that free
28771s attack and that trophy is
28774s yours see he's saying think about the
28776s far get a couple of rockets down but
28779s eventually the leans on this Echo coming
28781s out of this spawn see how powerful those
28784s duplicates were in that previous round
28786s so something else that he's saying can
28788s use at his own disposal but team Falcons
28791s they've got to play on this point all
28794s right in the sidelines of Shu with all
28796s of these anti nades po an impr proper ha
28798s back off they oh they almost managed to
28800s get stalker there they forc the Reco
28802s regular response from juming they take
28804s High ground and they try and force and
28805s coral them onto the point and then
28807s exactly what you saying a second ago
28809s that anti onto the
28810s backline proper receiving a little bit
28812s of first aid there from Feld
28817s look so hard for proper to do much cuz
28820s now he has to worry about the people
28821s behind him another good anti and lip
28822s double blink melee proper
28825s down 4v5 now shootting a little bit of
28828s trouble but you got a bodyguard and it
28830s is junin there's no way he's going to
28832s let you fall and now they're getting
28834s time on the points look that the Nano
28836s boost already with this pulse bomb too
28838s surely this is going to be crazy
28840s raccoon's
28841s Point sure if SRA has a uh a way to get
28844s out of there good suzu rush in response
28847s to the playload being Cs and there's the
28849s kill on the heang oh the stick was dirty
28852s from
28853s stalker not giving Shu a chance to use
28856s this Nano and giving team falcon the
28858s opening they need in order to keep this
28860s defense alive on this point so no
28863s steamroll just yet for crazy Raccoon as
28865s they have to go back to spawn but they
28867s still have that Nano the duplicate on
28869s top of that lift with a pulse bomb of
28870s his own maybe able to grab somebody in
28872s the back Shields very close to the sound
28875s Bearer though which could be a huge
28876s answer for crazy raccoon's next attack
28883s push taking a whole deeper hurt there
28887s are backing off F once again to the
28889s rescue duplication pulse one available
28891s proping the sights of Li SAR comes
28893s through hits five Prim R available from
28895s jimin but he's got the Nano so he's
28896s looking for someone to actually kill
28898s filer Shak down he's then copying the
28900s sojan of all things not sure stalk is
28903s going to get out of this one alive same
28905s could be said for Han Bin Ends up
28907s sliming on the points and there it is a
28910s free overclock but he didn't even need
28913s it that's going to be the point unlocked
28916s and yet another checkpoint closer to
28918s Crazy raccoon's Victory 3 minutes and 50
28922s seconds in this time bank as that
28923s payload starts to get moving and he's
28926s saying switching off of the EO to go
28928s over to the far this far has been so
28930s good especially with these CH points
28932s that you get to spam those Rockets down
28934s so hoping that that's going to be the
28935s big difference maker to keep this push
28938s alive keep this time bank healthy as
28940s they enter into the third Point look how
28942s much span they're taken already can't
28944s even hold that Archway n onto har was
28947s good lot of a peppering damage okay now
28950s they decide to take point and March on
28953s forward uhoh Su used though this might
28955s be the go time for crazy raccoon right
28956s now pin stuck on the side charges
28959s straight back to the rest of his team
28960s somehow manages to make it out but a
28962s nade followed him perfectly timed by
28966s Shu can't use the cage there either so
28969s team Falcons have no choice except to
28971s try to back up this jumping gets up in
28972s their faces another nade Hail Mary from
28976s Shu providing an opening for jump going
28978s with this Primal R jumin adding insult
28980s to injury there proper Sliding Away or
28982s at least trying to was just caught up
28983s against that wall the ultimate Bank
28986s Advantage though for team Falcons it's
28987s going to be really tough for crazy
28989s raccoon if they can just keep up picks
28990s like this though maybe it's not so big
28992s of a deal dead there's the cage through
28995s in a little bit of trouble but lays down
28996s that suzu helping Harin out payload
28998s still moving he saying is in trouble
29001s disruptor shot mixed with the cage no
29003s escaping
29005s that that pick was super important but
29008s crazy raccoon lacked the opportunity to
29010s be able to go for some of these bigger
29012s picks with no ultimates to spare they're
29014s going to try and stagger too you saw a
29015s lot of them just ignored Shu there they
29017s were thinking maybe we can get the
29018s Stagger burn some of that time bank down
29021s they were focusing everybody else but
29023s wasn't to be they ended up finishing up
29025s quite quickly and crazy raccoons okay
29027s now they're deciding Mal is the play
29028s they want to play the mirror they have
29031s the opportunity for this barage to maybe
29033s push this payload over that second
29034s checkpoint but stalker saw that pig NOS
29038s kind of how to deal with this as you see
29040s them Parker in his sights but minute 45
29043s the stall has been good team Falcons
29045s they are actually keeping crazy raccoon
29047s at Bay so
29049s far bares available too from heack
29052s getting a good angle here is going to be
29053s quite hard unless he gets on to The High
29054s Ground here oh and the overclock oh but
29057s the Nano boost straight towards proper I
29059s heard the suu go off making sure proper
29061s stays alive as well as that sound
29062s barrier that comes in Nano boost rally
29065s they're all gone crazy raccoons going
29068s back to Spa this is only a minute and 20
29070s seconds to go they're losing their
29072s opportunity here to be the only team
29074s with an attack push if they even been
29076s able to make it to this third and final
29078s point we're going to see a big change up
29080s here from crazy raccoon 2 as he's saying
29083s get another hero in his pool going over
29085s to the Genji as we see Team Falon do the
29088s same it's going to be Genji versus Genji
29091s proper on this sojourn and with less
29093s than 60 seconds to go crazy raccoon
29096s they've got to make sure that this
29098s payload is going to be over on the
29099s second Point f is going to play safe
29101s here needs to get this Rush online har
29104s beinging getting healed up but the first
29105s kill actually going on to jump in they
29107s end up trading malus but field is still
29109s with the AL Advantage here doesn't
29111s really want to Peak lit but I don't
29112s think anybody else does proper not quite
29114s so scared though as he takes down Chong
29116s they don't even need to use the rush
29118s here patience is a hunter's best virtue
29120s and fielder showing it with ease I mean
29124s Falcons right now with 20 seconds to go
29127s those they need to get a regroup him and
29129s he's so low and with this katun Rush how
29131s do you approach this C now if you're not
29133s st's going to hit these resets if
29135s they're not careful he's already found
29137s one he's found another 10 seconds now
29140s for Falcons to hold on to this point and
29143s they're going to push the issue as well
29145s I mean the cage is available he can just
29146s lock anybody in he chooses shoes already
29148s down the charging onto the point oh
29151s where are you going jum in I think we're
29154s going to another map
29157s [Applause]
29160s team Falcons they've done
29162s it they have had trouble against crazy
29165s raccoon three times in a row unable to
29167s break the curse of beating them on a
29169s hybrid map but they do it here on King's
29171s Row to keep themselves in this series
29174s and we're going to another map Jaws this
29176s is the first of four this is a grand
29177s finals we've got in our hands map number
29180s seven on the
29183s horizon I'm waiting for it Falcons find
29186s the win on Kings Row we're loading into
29188s a new map in just a
29191s moment man they really are taking us the
29195s distance three2 to score a grand finals
29198s curse broken I couldn't be more
29201s grateful it's exciting I don't know this
29204s is a banger Jake I mean it it could go
29207s all the way really the way the way these
29209s teams are playing so close you know I
29211s think Han been coming in cold Off the
29213s Bench he's been watching all day and yet
29215s he shows up at the darkest hour for his
29218s team makes this hold on Kings roow
29220s strategically this is a great map for
29222s Falcons and I think this gave hin a
29224s chance to get into the series I think
29226s they should leave hin in I we'll see
29227s we'll see where we go it could depend I
29229s mean there's an opportunity here for
29230s crazy raccoon to bring out something
29231s like an ilos you talked about that uh
29234s backstage there so I'm I'm really
29236s curious to see is fired up but it looks
29238s like H is actually packing up though if
29240s I'm looking back all smiles though all
29243s smiles though getting the credit that is
29245s due I mean the crowd loves huming of
29247s course Dallas fuel of course here in
29249s Dallas he has plenty of fans and you
29251s know bringing it back here for Falcons
29252s but really if we take a take a time to
29254s review on that map as well going into it
29256s we said this is a really good hybrid map
29258s for Falcons the way they're trying to
29259s play this game and you saw that crazy
29261s raccoons I mean they were pushing the
29263s limits with their counter picks here
29265s they were really trying uh and
29266s ultimately you know they couldn't Force
29268s these weird Heroes and instead of us
29269s Falcons who looked pretty dominant
29271s throughout with their damage players Jak
29272s yeah I think stalker has been a player
29274s I've been watching all series and when
29276s this guy comes out on Tracer I mean he
29278s just is Unstoppable right like shu is a
29280s monster on the Anna and yet only a true
29284s Predator can be hunting players like
29286s shoe down stalker Tracer is where I
29288s really first GRE to respect him and his
29290s incredible potential as a player it's
29292s been his flexibility that's enabled the
29294s Falcons throughout this series but
29296s sometimes you just got to bring out the
29298s big guns and the Tracer is just that
29300s when it comes to stalker I know this is
29303s like a weird random throwback right now
29305s but I'm having like flashbacks to like
29306s profit and stalker so Dynasty lineups
29309s right now and now we have this amazing
29311s Grand Final where stalker he is now in
29313s this position to play the Tracer in a
29315s grand final like profit used to do in
29317s the past uh this has been an incredible
29319s matchup so far and it does feel like
29321s Falcons they regained some control some
29323s momentum in that but I do think that was
29325s pretty much tied to that pick Kings Row
29328s being such a powerful kick and now M
29330s pick is back in Crazy raccoon in Crazy
29333s raccoon's favor and they have so many
29335s possibilities now for what they want to
29336s do next that's exactly it yeah because
29338s if you paid attention obviously now
29341s everything is back open again they can't
29343s play the same Maps again that we've
29346s already seen But same map types so that
29349s opens up a whole world of possibilities
29352s it's a very powerful map pick but youve
29354s got to use it wisely right because this
29355s is your this is your best shot you know
29357s and I one thing I think is interesting
29359s is even if we do go to a dive mirror
29361s Falcons looked strong on the dive
29363s stalker and Smurf together on the
29365s Winston Tracer that is a seriously
29368s dangerous Duo and so even if we do go to
29371s a dive map I think this series is still
29373s very much in contention all bets are off
29376s when it comes to who's going to win this
29377s and I told you during Kings Row you
29379s asked me what map do you think we're
29381s going to if Falcons win this one and I
29383s said ilos I think ilos would be the
29385s Clear Choice here for this team because
29388s you don't want to force there's a lot of
29389s maps in the pool where you could cater
29391s to what we've seen from crazy raccoons
29393s where you could bring out the far for
29394s example where you could get some
29396s longrange hit scan from lip for examp
29397s sample but ilos really opened things up
29401s that is why both these Asian teams are
29403s so favored on the ilos in the first
29405s place they're extremely good on the dive
29407s Heroes and now I think Elios could be a
29409s really good choice apart from that Jake
29411s I'm not sure where really crazy raccoons
29413s would want to bring it besides ilos I
29415s think there's a lot of options in the
29416s pool but I I like ilos I think that for
29419s me is the most interesting pick surasa
29421s though remember how strong that's been
29424s looks like ilos though will be the pick
29426s so we're going to a dive back up I I
29429s think this is still in very much
29430s contention I mean crazy racuna been the
29432s team that wants to play Dive but
29433s remember F yeah they played Maga and I
29436s think they've learned their lesson on on
29438s the true dive Maps I think they will be
29439s forcing the miror however it's also a
29441s map with tons of cheesing potential you
29443s know we've seen teams go Ry on
29445s Lighthouse just hold down the point
29446s we've seen MAA come out on ruins and so
29449s I still think there's a lot of strategic
29450s depth this is the final test for Falcons
29453s they have to pass it to stay alive in
29454s the series as crazy raccoon hungers to
29456s finish it I would say this I would say
29458s this to build up some hype I think this
29460s is crazy raccoon's best chance at
29463s sealing the grand finals if we go to map
29465s 7even I think the next map possible is
29468s going to be even better for Falcons if
29470s crazy raccoons want to close out this
29472s Grand finals I think they best bet is
29474s right here on ilos I mean win or loss
29476s like the teams have made those Maps look
29478s very very close I love that this is such
29481s a competitive final that we get to see
29483s we do have a substitution once more uh
29487s of course we already alluded to it hin
29489s packed up Smurf is back in the mix I
29492s love that hin got a shot as well on qu
29495s un quote home turf not really but kind
29497s of but not really in Dallas in Dallas
29500s yeah yeah but you know like it's a bit
29502s of a throwback here so yeah obviously
29504s the fans are very hyped up about it the
29506s Smurf he's been performing phenomenally
29509s for this team though so it's not like
29511s he's going to uh struggle here as you
29513s said at the they they're fired up
29516s they're ready to take this is and they
29518s coming in Confident by picking elos
29519s knowing that they might be facing off
29521s against dive now I I want to see the
29523s Smurf stalker Winston Tracer dive Duo I
29526s think this we got to end this with some
29527s good honest OverWatch or for Falcon's
29529s sake rather maybe not end it maybe keep
29530s their dreams alive give themselves a
29532s road back to a ultimate map seven here
29536s ILO so much pressure on these teams such
29538s an unconventional map one of the
29540s weirdest in the control pool so
29542s definitely going to really put the test
29543s on these teams what sort of innovative
29545s strategies do they come up with I think
29547s we're way past the point of preparation
29549s Johnny I think we're we're well into the
29551s territory of improvisation and that's
29553s where the veterancy the experience on
29555s these teams really comes into play and
29557s there is two players that we haven't
29558s really talked too much about on the
29559s Falcon so far I think that Chio and
29562s fielder could come in real clutch right
29564s now I think on jalter we saw especially
29566s we talked up stalker we talked about
29567s Smurf you know looked really good
29569s holding down the fort in the front lines
29570s and in the kill feed but Shu and fielder
29572s they have such insane chemistry in the
29574s backline and going into a map like ilos
29576s they could come in CL especially you
29578s know you go up against Shu we got
29579s Fielder versus Shu right here this is
29581s going to be one of the Dual for the ages
29583s but this is a great map for the Falcon
29585s support players to step up and have
29587s their time in the Sun what do you want
29589s to see them how how do you want to see
29590s the backline approaching this match up
29592s well it's going to be really interesting
29594s Jake because I mean we did see Falcons
29596s commit to the MAA even on a map like
29598s jalter for example and I mean especially
29600s on like ruins for example that could be
29602s something where you try to force it I
29603s might think we might see lip even try to
29605s go Widowmaker on ruins because you have
29607s those long Sidelines and it's something
29609s that lift does so extremely well so
29611s we'll see how that match up fais can
29612s play the close corners for example I
29614s think it's going to be real tough but I
29615s feel like Falcons maybe learned their
29617s lesson could be good in the dive I think
29618s we're in for a crazy one all three Maps
29620s very very distinct on Elios favor very
29622s different strategies so even winning one
29624s round does not seal the deal here you've
29626s got to close things out let's see if
29628s they can take it the distance or not Ken
29631s Falcons tie up the series let's find out
29633s on map number six in eight seven
29638s 6 5 4 3 2
29644s [Applause]
29646s 1 Match Point still here for crazy
29651s raccoons hanin comes in Off the Bench
29654s cold wins a map Subs straight back out
29659s the team
29660s reinvigorated need to find the next two
29662s maps back to back to claim the trophy
29668s this is a team that you should expect to
29671s have the
29672s resilience and the grit to be able to
29674s get that job done Smurf Fielder Chio no
29679s secret and no strangers to being in
29681s these Grand finals positions before to
29683s know what it takes to win such a slober
29686s knocker of a fight but we've got some
29689s honest OverWatch on our hands Jaws it's
29691s Dive Dive and it's a complete mirror
29694s pure skill matchup here no variation in
29697s the comps best arners in the
29700s world some of the best DPS to do it too
29703s he sang with a good first Blood on the
29706s stalker you can't let up just yet cuz
29709s it's all about good
29711s Backes Landing a cracker of aade there
29714s just rning straight over the top and the
29716s follow up from Smurf is just
29720s exceptional oh speaking of n there
29723s another one my goodness team Falcons
29726s they really want to take this to a map
29728s number
29730s seven and they're well on their way to
29732s be able to do just that first capture of
29735s this point is going to go over to team
29738s Falcons the back of just some really
29741s good collapses onto crazy raccoon would
29744s beat them to the punch to be able to get
29745s there to the lighthouse first he's
29747s saying is already so low though Ander
29749s sniffs it
29751s out Des sank down for crazy raccoon
29755s still now playing all the way back this
29756s is what you want really early picks like
29758s this just continually save as much free
29760s time as
29762s possible also not affording any of the
29764s DPS on the other side a lot of Al charge
29766s either and he's craw well Jumpin what
29769s one HP can he get away I mean he has to
29772s at some point has to get healed but it
29775s stalls their re-engage for even more
29777s time all the while team Falcons have
29780s control of this point they've got
29781s control of this game whip is looking for
29783s an opening to weave in this pulse bomb
29785s but look at proper doing the same
29788s both tracers forced a recall jumping on
29790s High Ground double DPS alts might be a
29792s little bit of a problem for team Falcons
29794s but up using this nanab boost first
29796s Smurf playing a little bit more passive
29798s here but knows he's got the Primal R in
29799s a couple of seconds a tracer duplication
29802s here from heack as the point is
29803s currently being contested proper holding
29805s it down right now for team Falcons
29807s forced to hit the Reco chased down by he
29809s sank but still is he going to get the
29810s mega Health back yes he does a stick on
29812s the wall and there's the dup is gone but
29815s still heang finds the kill
29818s with a rally he's going to keep the rest
29819s of the team alive on the point and
29821s stalker with a dup it doesn't matter cuz
29823s jumin's got the Primal and he's already
29825s taken care of
29827s field but even though that fight didn't
29829s go in their favor there's still enough
29831s stall here for Smurf to try to get back
29833s had the opportunity to use the Primal
29835s Rage there to extend that fight even
29836s further but team Falcons got what they
29838s wanted out of that engagement 81%
29840s capture progress on this first point
29843s still the Primal Rage at the ready for
29845s team Falcons to throw into the next one
29847s the crazy raccoon they're now going to
29849s be on the defense having control of this
29851s point so watch Li watch this pulse bomb
29854s where does he go oh another perfectly
29857s placed n by Shu takes care of a Fielder
29860s didn't even need the Tracer in the end
29863s again they end up trading extremely
29864s Scrappy but look Falcon's already on the
29866s point putting pressure down forcing jump
29869s in back oh that Primal Rage good enough
29872s to be able to poop away everybody even
29875s though lip was about to get sent over
29876s the edge proper denies that
29878s environmental just finishes up The Kill
29880s regardless 90% and Counting here for
29882s team Falcons on this first round with
29884s proper working up to a pulse Barm this
29886s end might be in sight who's there to
29888s touch jumin looking like he's gunu there
29890s we go the Boop though he good the Boop
29893s is
29894s [Applause]
29897s perfect he can't get
29900s there he just can't get there the break
29904s the bash the Winston unable to make it
29907s that's going to be the first round going
29908s to team
29910s Falcons this is what they needed they
29913s want to extend this series out into a
29915s map number seven with crazy raccoon
29918s still a match point but you heard the
29920s desk Jaws it's not over until it's over
29923s and this is control it can go any which
29926s way so don't count crazy raccoon out of
29928s this fight just yet hello so I want to
29931s see I want to see that map number
29933s seven crazy
29935s raccoons still on Match Point but a new
29940s fire lit up under team Falcons they are
29944s ready and roaring to go same comps
29947s mirror
29948s dive watch these back lines Fielder Cho
29951s for Falcons trying and shoe for crazy
29953s raccoon which one is going to go down
29955s first because with these Winston you're
29957s seeing that aggression go towards them
29959s the supports to take them out of the
29960s fight
29962s first you're almost hoping you're seeing
29964s a little bit of Road Hog here maybe
29966s little cheekiness but I'm more of a fan
29969s of honest OverWatch
29970s [Music]
29972s myself crazy Rec with a name did land
29976s hit a bubble oh but it's heang BS first
29978s again proper arch nemesis heang at this
29981s point in time as Falcons they looking to
29985s cap
29986s again oh
29987s good super good that Smurf can't go in
29991s and finish up those picks so Tong and
29992s Shu are able to get out with their lives
29995s with this first point capture going over
29996s to Falcons this may be repeating itself
29999s Fielder looking at that n who sh going
30002s to have one up as well for the next
30003s fight but look at Li already with a PO
30005s farm and
30006s weeding yeah 99% that'll do it and
30010s there's the back line oh post bomb goes
30012s wide not even a hit marker
30014s there still Fielder shrugging that one
30017s off has got a nano boost and he's got
30019s the backup required sleep guard goes a
30021s little bit wide as heing is sent over
30024s the top taking down s with the help of
30026s the Nano now he's time to shine he's
30029s having enough of proper in the
30032s Sun and Nan boost allowing heang to have
30035s that extra damage to duel it out with
30037s stalker in that 1 V one not quite enough
30040s to be able to get him that duplicate
30042s right now but he will have it by the
30044s time that team Falcons move back in but
30045s team Falcons they're coming in with five
30047s ultimates to throw at this fight an
30048s overwhelming amount of force to try to
30051s get this point back under their control
30054s no n Boost from Sho is going to be a
30055s really rough hit Chong's rally is going
30058s to have to be perfect you have to use it
30060s when you're super high HP as well cuz if
30062s you're low you're going to get Focus
30063s down really quickly po bomb from proper
30066s Sports jumin he does have Primal Rage if
30068s needs to use it insta pops it as soon as
30070s that PO bomb detonates double tracer on
30072s the map now 14 te Falcons proper and
30074s stalker hunting their prey looking for
30076s the back line as fast as possible a free
30077s pulse bomb too filder hits the n on the
30080s ground and that will be heang not
30083s getting anything done and anabo deployed
30085s on the back line but wait a second some
30087s TR shots following Fielder back to the
30090s spawn there was four tracers on the
30092s point at that one point and look at this
30095s team Falcons able to get control for
30097s even just briefly as stalker is able to
30098s get the better of heang sending him all
30100s the way back to spawn at an old
30102s disadvantage crazy raccoons you're
30104s thinking they were going to fall there
30105s but still they burnt so many opes of
30108s team Falcons they got nothing coming
30109s into this next fight lip is going to be
30111s a different Ty of here yeah but these
30113s Echo can still have a lot of potency in
30116s these match up look at where stalker is
30117s going to be hitting from all the way
30119s behind that building and so much
30120s flexibility when it comes to his line of
30122s sight he's Perma marking the tank as
30125s well oh stalker already dead and Liv
30128s still with the post bot might not even
30130s need it team Falcons they're still in
30132s control this points Rose Chio and jimin
30135s end up a little bit of trade there but
30137s crazy raccoon should be winning this
30139s fight oh and we're going to almost 99 to
30142s 99 here as team Falcons lose control
30145s team Falcons though with this amount of
30147s time left have two more attempts to be
30149s able to get this back in their control
30151s and win out this map and bring us into a
30153s map number seven I would not be able to
30156s believe my eyes if we get a chance to go
30157s that far but crazy raccoon they're
30159s hoping that this Nano this pulse BP
30161s still yet to let RP from lips pocket
30164s will be enough for them to match this
30166s percentage and then up nice there on J
30168s Here Comes oh the PO bom lands lip's
30171s going to take two with him I fear double
30174s kill for lip in the back line crazy cun
30177s chasing Falcons now any kill here is
30179s huge for their to sense Bank sense team
30182s Falcons reeling as they figure out how
30184s they want to approach this next fight
30186s but now that they've gotten so many
30188s ultimates out of crazy raccoon they may
30190s just get a chance to use their own
30192s proper with the pulse bomb this time
30193s around stalker and Smurf both hoping
30195s that they're going to have the duplicate
30196s in Primal Rage he needs to hit the back
30198s line here and he does just that Chong
30201s already dead and now POA can force the
30204s points both teams losing their bricks
30206s but it is lip killing Fielder no support
30210s left for team Falcons looks like we're
30213s going to a round number three here
30215s there's a Primal Rage for Smurf even a
30217s duplication here from stalker but what
30220s more could be done Smurf needs some
30222s crazy amount of heroics right now to
30224s take down these
30226s beasts oh the stick from lip is there
30229s nothing he can't do duplication kill and
30233s he's still putting on the pressure in
30234s the front line but a nano boost actually
30237s a rally from Chon and a sleep from Shu
30240s what are you going to do about it now
30242s [Applause]
30249s Smurf third round in ilos maybe deciding
30254s it all crazy raccoon still on that patch
30257s point and team Falcons fighting to keep
30260s themselves alive in this Grand finals we
30262s head over to ruins and Jaws this is
30265s where things probably get the wackiest
30267s out of all of our points on ilos dive so
30270s good for both of these teams on well as
30273s well as Lighthouse but ruins do we get
30275s to see some snipers do we get to see
30277s this wrecking ball junin has been able
30280s to get the better of Team Falcon
30282s strategy when it comes down to playing
30284s out these pocket picks the road hog the
30285s wrecking ball and that's what we're
30287s seeing yeah he's rolling on the PO no wi
30290s makers here proper on the cast no far
30294s play here from stalker oh Chang Chang
30296s his mind M as he saw the comp don't
30298s blame him
30300s either just jumping there to get an L of
30303s the aror Shu can play so far back as
30305s well by the way he's up on the ruins
30308s right now where jum was just on the
30309s other side of things and his Los there
30311s is just
30313s super able to grab the mega though to
30315s make himself a little bit more healthy
30316s for the second
30320s re-engage they're being hounded down by
30322s stalker here you can
30324s see who wants him there Point unlock
30327s team Falcons are are capping right now
30329s crazy raccoons need to store this one
30331s out at least for a little bit no is
30333s Falcons again capping first the jiming
30336s go the team looking for somebody to
30340s flatten oh proper moved into the enemy
30344s team but that's exactly where he wanted
30345s to be sh's going to just die on the
30348s point there as team Falcons handily now
30350s kind of dealing with this ball which
30351s they were unable to do so on new Queen
30353s Street so much easier right now when
30355s you've got this Cassidy playing a little
30357s bit closer to that ball as well big
30359s Target for just letting that clip empty
30362s into that character the hinder nade as
30364s well going to slow down this Mobility
30366s available to the wrecking ball so team
30368s Falcons keep firm control of this point
30370s as they start to look at ultimates of
30372s their own this KIRO being so influential
30375s to deal with these big Nanos that are
30377s coming through from this on up wdps all
30380s for both sides almost and slipper is
30382s nearing that pulse
30383s bom duplicate available for Pang is
30385s going to be deadly double trace the time
30387s here for crazy raccoons oh there going
30388s to be a lot of pulse bombs a lot of
30390s explosions and a whole lot of death I
30391s would imagine a nice little slam there
30393s from jum in at the pul mob is thrown in
30396s by heang a little Miss but it's okay
30398s I'll just earn myself another one a
30400s sound barrier comes in heang stay alive
30402s in the copy it eventually runs out as
30404s proper his Focus down a little high noon
30407s a PO bomb thrown in by lip and actually
30409s ends up killing Fielder team Falcons are
30411s just standing tall on this point
30413s refusing to go down look get a big pick
30415s there on the Fielder but F going to be
30417s able to S step back into this fight
30419s pretty
30420s quickly they get the flip they managed
30423s to get the flip exactly right Rose a
30425s small re-engage there with the Nano
30427s boost send team Falcons kening back to
30430s sport oh a slam get on to stalker too
30434s tou the spawn door challenge complete
30437s but this is where the wrecking ball
30438s becomes even more potent because team
30440s FAL they had control first they were
30442s able to play from that defensive
30444s position but with this wrecking ball
30445s getting some time to set up
30447s with the mines as well team Falcons they
30450s don't have too many Avenues in which
30451s they can Ingress under this point all
30453s these mines going to be deadly too B's
30455s going to have to save this role jumping
30457s not going for the slam there he's going
30460s to now swing in waiting for our team
30461s Falcons to get back to the point a slam
30463s onto proper but Fielder is already dead
30466s once again lip finds the perfect pick
30469s but it is traded by Shu he sang on a
30471s nice little off angle here just
30472s peppering away at proper he ends up
30475s going down and they've got another fight
30476s yet Smurf jumping over the edge letting
30479s the archangels take him as team Falcons
30481s go for a reset reset and this might be
30484s their last chances well that cage not
30485s able to get anything of value there from
30488s Smurf so he's going to switch over to
30490s the Winston wants to be able to go dive
30492s versus dive Winston versus this wrecking
30494s ball when the onus is right now on crazy
30496s raccoon they've got so many ultimates
30498s they might be able to close out this
30500s Grand finals Here and
30501s Now post fp's going to be pretty
30504s terrifying of your team Falcons right
30505s now and he's playing Super but far up oh
30508s but he goes
30509s down a little right click from Smurf
30511s there oh getting the right click on the
30514s echo to but he's saying replacing that
30516s Tracer roll with a duplication aul bom
30519s from stalker trying to track down junin
30521s or at least tries to but a little extra
30523s Health there from the sound barrier but
30526s a Chase onto Sho this could be it crazy
30529s raccoons nearing 99% he's sang lasers
30533s down shio and he might have just done it
30535s s needs to find something 30 here to get
30537s back into this fight a h pom in his hand
30539s but he's always by Lon to almost as lip
30542s cleans the
30545s field look at that shoe coming in with
30547s the Nano too this might just be enough
30549s overtime is ticking through crazy
30551s raccoon just need to find the team WIP
30552s proper the only one left but lip even
30555s the devil looks away in disgust Smurf
30558s gets back in just in time but this might
30560s just be it a crazy Rec have done
30564s it and just like Alexander the right
30566s they can wait because they have nothing
30569s left to
30574s conquer third time third times the charm
30578s crazy raccoon able to get it done not
30580s once not twice but three times against
30582s this roster team Falcons put up such a
30585s fight to get here in the end with their
30588s own upset in the Winner's Finals over
30591s crazy raccoons to send them
30593s kening but it all comes down to that
30595s final map
30597s what a show this raccoon roster they
30600s just can't be
30601s stopped they were beaten down once in
30604s the upper bracket but they are Asia's
30607s number
30608s one twice two main stage titles and now
30612s the title here of the Dallas dream hack
30616s major truly the best in the
30621s world this team is just Unstoppable
30629s unbelievable what a sight to behold
30632s crazy raccoon with a big trophy above
30635s them
30636s [Music]
30641s [Applause]
30645s all just a star studded
30648s lineup lip 89 gaming warlord taking
30654s Falcons there to the cleaners the very
30656s end
30657s and so many individual picks so many
30661s individual plays from everybody on the
30663s lineup it's hard to really pick a player
30665s of the match here because crazy raccoons
30667s I mean literally anybody could have
30670s shown up big there I mean livep on the
30672s Traer I me the wreck and ball everything
30675s thrown out of team Falcons and they just
30677s didn't know how to handle it what was a
30680s team effort it was just a team effort at
30682s the end of the day even though we have
30684s these individual performances that we
30685s can highlight pinpoint as the reason
30688s where crazy raccoon were able to get it
30690s done they still had to work together at
30692s the end of the day whether it was the
30693s dive whether it was the malga they stand
30696s tall Above the Rest and with so many
30699s amazing just surprise picks coming out
30702s of the pocket of jun but maybe that's
30703s the player that I look at right now well
30706s I think we're going to have a word with
30708s every down on Daddy on the stage with
