1097s	long legs larson how do you even fit
1099s	behind the desk that's crazy it's crazy
1102s	yeah
1103s	you're i think that must be a nightmare
1104s	no i think i'm like pretty small you
1106s	know i make myself small here like in
1108s	this area like i'm
1111s	doing a good job of being small yeah
1113s	no you're doing it great it could be a
1115s	lot worse i know but your legs are
1117s	ginormous no feet on the table is that a
1119s	thing or ah
1121s	some might consider the room okay well
1123s	we're not eating on a table so also true
1125s	so go ahead
1127s	i don't care now
1129s	it's not just you joining me here in uh
1131s	sunny california uh we also have a
1134s	mystery box
1135s	and well you know a mystery box that
1137s	could that could be anything uh that
1139s	could be
1140s	that could be an analyst
1142s	gold star gold star
1144s	or an analyst so let's open the mystery
1147s	box and see who it is
1151s	[Music]
1152s	[Applause]
1156s	i meant to do a family guy meme here and
1157s	i kind of kind of missed out on the
1159s	first thing but no it's not a boat it's
1161s	necra and we're very excited to have you
1163s	back how are you doing today necro
1165s	i'm good uh i'm not entirely sure if
1168s	you're going to get analyst necra or
1170s	clown necra based on the fact that our
1172s	preds yesterday were absolute hot
1174s	garbage but we go again you're being too
1176s	hard on yourself
1180s	being too hard on yourself nicora we all
1182s	messed up the preds it was only custard
1184s	we've been messing with you for five
1185s	years and we're still getting hired so i
1187s	think you did
1189s	okay yeah you're right you're right no
1191s	we're good then we're good we're gonna
1192s	put our kitchen we're doing great
1196s	now uh of course uh whilst all of us
1199s	have been uh fast asleep we had another
1201s	exciting around in the eastern region
1203s	they continued the action just a few
1205s	hours ago and treated the audience to a
1207s	classic three and overwatch kind of
1210s	night now uh first up was the
1212s	philadelphia fusion going up against the
1214s	shanghai dragons and i mean philly that
1216s	did show us some you know good
1218s	adaptation we even got treated through a
1221s	round of wrecking ball and pharah on lee
1223s	jiang tower
1224s	now on the other side to quote our
1227s	editorial wizard and expert all things
1229s	apac emerald we got to see shanghai's
1232s	most and least clutch form and nekra
1235s	what did you see in that game
1239s	yeah i think most and least clutch form
1242s	is a very good way of describing what
1246s	happened in that series for the shanghai
1248s	dragon but i think it's important to
1250s	give this match some extra context which
1252s	is that philadelphia fusion shanghai
1254s	dragons actually played each other for
1256s	the very first match of the season i
1258s	remember waking up from my n.a slumber
1261s	and going what and the heck happened in
1263s	the aipac region it was because
1265s	philadelphia fusion had three owed the
1266s	shanghai dragons and so the fact that it
1268s	happened again i think speaks a lot of
1270s	volumes to just how strong the fusion
1272s	are as a team
1273s	this season because i think we were all
1275s	kind of wondering if their win was a
1278s	fluke based off of how the rest of the
1280s	easter region had gone and how
1281s	unpredictable that apac has been so far
1284s	this season but i think that the win
1287s	over the shanghai dragons for the second
1289s	time around really showed us a strategic
1290s	side of the fusion going into this match
1293s	i think it was very expected that
1294s	shanghai would lead more into the
1296s	brineheart the zarya rush they ended up
1298s	playing a lot of the dive and i think
1299s	when it came down to that philadelphia
1301s	fusion just executes executes that dive
1304s	so well especially when you're putting
1305s	all of your resources into that young
1308s	rookie dps player like zest you are
1311s	definitely going to have some very
1312s	clutch pop-off moments with those dragon
1315s	blades and of course the rest of the
1317s	team as well i mean carpe put in some
1318s	big work when it came to that first map
1320s	of lijang so you know zoe i love getting
1323s	a chance to talk about my home team
1324s	philadelphia fusion any chance i get and
1327s	i'm happy to report on wins when they
1329s	happen
1332s	absolutely yeah it was great to see them
1334s	come out on top of the dragons here now
1336s	the next match was an elimination match
1339s	between the hangzhou spark and the seoul
1341s	dynasty and the spark you know they came
1344s	into this tournament as a number one
1346s	seed
1347s	and they'll leave the tournament as the
1349s	first team out now we got to see passive
1351s	play and very poor swap strategy uh
1354s	which marcus disappointing end to this
1355s	post tournament run unfortunately but so
1358s	though
1359s	i mean
1360s	jonathan they just seem to get stronger
1362s	every single day in the tournament
1363s	yeah they've consolidated a little bit
1365s	what they're doing uh the seoul dynasty
1367s	and also they're not as reliant on
1368s	profit all the time to pop up on the
1370s	tracer right so uh seoul dynasty they've
1373s	improved and gotten better as the stage
1374s	progressed they meanwhile the hangs off
1375s	sparks they were early to the meta we
1377s	saw them play a lot of bernard zarya and
1379s	i was like oh the zoro thing is working
1381s	pretty good for them uh but as this
1383s	kickoff class has really progressed i
1385s	feel like teams have started to figure
1386s	out the hangzhou spark playing stuff
1388s	like ash and um echo mercy stuff like
1390s	they're doing right here um and we even
1392s	saw it last week against the
1393s	philadelphia fusion i told you at the
1395s	time so that i think that philly overall
1397s	played the better game right so hangzhou
1398s	spark as the stage has sort of
1400s	progressed they haven't been as strong
1402s	but they still were able to secure that
1403s	number one seed seoul dynasty on the
1405s	other hand the way they've been playing
1407s	this soldier and tracer composition and
1409s	soldier reaper it's a thing of beauty
1411s	really especially here on midtown i
1413s	think the way they're sort of like
1414s	deathballing with this kind of
1415s	composition they're not trying to
1416s	overextend they're not trying to always
1418s	dive in with this reaper like we see
1420s	some other teams too instead they're
1422s	trying to expose the weakness of the
1423s	hangzhou spark trying to extract value
1425s	out of this genji pick and well it works
1427s	great if you're for example cyst on the
1429s	philadelphia fusion like we just talked
1431s	about if you can really put that power
1433s	into a genji's hands and he executes
1435s	well well you can't argue with it but
1436s	for angela spark here they find
1438s	themselves in the stairs against the
1439s	prophet pulse bomb easy 3k for him and
1442s	this whole dynasty overall i think
1443s	they've just figured out what they're
1444s	good at they put their players in a
1446s	position to really excel as well
1448s	when we're looking at the tanks like
1450s	swear for example he is best when it
1452s	comes to the winston but also they've
1453s	helped him out with the zarya enabling
1455s	him to play that story pretty well
1457s	profit on the tracer he keeps doing his
1459s	thing as well racking up the kills and
1460s	fits on the soldier mightily impressed
1462s	me might i say i think that fitz overall
1464s	had a good series i like the rotations
1466s	from him the visors he got from that uh
1468s	from his soldier pick as well so seoul
1470s	dynasty they really come alive towards
1472s	the end of this stage and figured out
1473s	what they're good at what compositions
1475s	they want to run and how they want to
1476s	execute so hydrospark no longer in the
1479s	tournament as you said eliminated but
1481s	seoul dynasty they're looking very
1482s	powerful and could certainly pose a
1484s	threat to shanghai dragons in the next
1485s	round i i just absolutely love that both
1489s	regions just surprise us like i think a
1491s	lot of the outcomes people wouldn't have
1493s	necessarily guessed but that's how i
1495s	went down in the east uh if you have a
1498s	hard time keeping track of it perhaps
1500s	you could provide some
1502s	visual aid something that rhymes with
1504s	racket i don't know how about a bracket
1507s	let's go there it is uh just to take a
1510s	look at it again philadelphia fusion are
1512s	sitting in that top spot waiting in the
1515s	finals for their next opponent which is
1517s	either going to be a rematch against the
1519s	dragons or they're taking on the soul
1522s	dynasty either match will be an absolute
1524s	banger i'm sure i'm saying that now and
1526s	it's going to be a for all kind of
1527s	scenario but uh we'll see we'll see all
1529s	of that is gonna happen tomorrow of
1530s	course on sunday now uh
1533s	yeah
1534s	we still have a lot to play for in that
1535s	region so you better not sleep tonight
1538s	now uh
1540s	i of course once again i want to shine a
1543s	spotlight once more onto
1547s	a player and those are hard to choose
1549s	from because there's so many good
1550s	players in that region but one of the
1552s	apec players impressed us the most
1554s	overnight and that one person made it
1557s	into our player spotlight today is going
1560s	to be profit yeah so we had two
1562s	different pair of the matches of course
1564s	there were two different matches going
1565s	on right one player of the match from
1566s	each on the philadelphia fusion series
1568s	it was fixa who got it the main support
1570s	the rookie coming in uh and in this
1572s	series um against the hangzhou spark it
1574s	was profit once more who got the player
1575s	of the match honors uh four because
1578s	pulse bombs like this right against the
1579s	hangzhou spark and if you're new to
1580s	overwatch or the award scene in general
1583s	profit is a name that you should uh know
1585s	about because he's arguably the greatest
1588s	overwatch player of all time pretty much
1590s	he's obviously won a grand prize with
1592s	london spitfire in 2018 and also made it
1594s	to the finals once more in 2020 with the
1596s	seoul dynasty that time they played more
1598s	like gesture roadhog brennan went on
1600s	about the flower shop that was a big
1602s	like ordeal but profit was very much a
1604s	big key to that roster in 2020 as well
1606s	and while some dynasty they're off to a
1608s	hot start once more in 2022 and if they
1610s	want to progress and actually win the
1612s	kickoff clash well you can expect more
1614s	great performances from profit so if
1616s	you're new that's a player to keep your
1618s	eyes on absolutely he's been known to be
1619s	a very explosive player if he's on he is
1622s	on and you better cower in fear if
1624s	you're on the receiving end of that now
1626s	we've got one team eliminated in the
1628s	eastern bracket but we're going to send
1630s	three teams home later today in the
1634s	western region now we'll take a look at
1635s	who will be victorious and who will be
1638s	vanquished right after this very quick
1640s	break so don't go anywhere
1651s	[Music]
1660s	[Music]
1674s	[Music]
1691s	[Music]

1741s	[Music]
1755s	[Music]
1758s	uh
1760s	[Music]
1778s	[Music]
1792s	[Music]
1801s	so
1809s	[Music]
1825s	welcome back to the watchman free show
1827s	our first masters of the day are a
1828s	little bit surprising as both the number
1830s	one and the number two seeds of the
1832s	kickoff clash find themselves in an
1834s	elimination situation so let's take a
1837s	look at the entire bracket to really
1839s	grasp grasp rather the scope of this
1842s	entire situation we're finding ourselves
1844s	in right and now so yeah lots of teams
1848s	play bracket buster if you say you got
1850s	it all right then you are lying
1853s	i don't believe a word and that is okay
1855s	so you do you but now we do see some of
1858s	the teams which we really expected to
1860s	make a run in the upper bracket fall
1862s	down to the lower bracket very early on
1865s	um
1866s	which one of those necron do you think
1868s	is actually the most shocking like which
1870s	one actually rattles you to the core
1874s	seeing san francisco shock i mean it's
1877s	in the name right i'm shocked that san
1879s	francisco shock is in the bottom of the
1882s	roster uh right now because they were
1885s	first coming into the kickoff clash and
1887s	now you know the upset from the atlanta
1889s	reign they could get upset here by the
1892s	houston outlaws and just be out of the
1894s	tournament 48 of people myself included
1897s	predicted that san francisco would take
1899s	the whole thing and you know i think
1901s	that it's just from all the bracket
1903s	busters we saw yesterday very clear that
1906s	we still have so much more to see from
1908s	all of these teams as they continue to
1910s	evolve their strategies as we go into
1912s	the rest of this portion and of course
1915s	the rest of the season
1918s	yeah we've definitely seen some some
1920s	very positive surprises coming out of
1921s	some teams
1923s	and then surprises on on the other side
1925s	of the spectrum which we really didn't
1926s	expect as such as the shock landing in
1929s	the lower bracket with some
1931s	very uncharacteristic performances but
1933s	now the beauty of course of a double
1935s	elimination bracket is that both the
1937s	dallas fuel as well as the san francisco
1938s	shock they can climb back into the thick
1940s	of things but they will be facing teams
1942s	looking to upset their chances yet again
1945s	and send them home now let's start with
1947s	the san francisco shock versus the
1949s	houston outlaws uh the san francisco
1951s	fans they must be shocked as you said
1954s	but don't touch no okay
1956s	i'm just keeping at it one will land and
1959s	you will laugh and i'll be happy uh
1961s	anyway where was i like yeah the san
1963s	francisco shock fans they're shocked to
1965s	find their team in the lower bracket of
1966s	course after going undefeated in the
1969s	qualifying stages uh
1971s	negra
1972s	why does san francisco shock actually
1974s	find themselves in this situation and
1976s	what can they do to fix
1978s	all of what happened yesterday
1982s	to go out on a limb here and say that
1983s	san francisco shock ended up with an
1985s	undefeated record because they were able
1987s	to use a lot of surprise factor
1989s	for the beginning of the season you know
1991s	san francisco shock came into this
1994s	overwatch league season with a full
1996s	slate of rookies plus violets and i
1998s	think a lot of people had no idea really
2000s	what to expect from this team and so you
2003s	can see that there was kind of a series
2005s	of unfortunate events that happened in
2007s	their match versus the atlanta reign
2009s	yesterday like sam's blizzard getting
2011s	deflected by nero we also had a few of
2014s	violet's sound barriers also being
2016s	negated so violet yesterday ended up
2018s	with a pretty low sound barrier
2020s	efficiency and it's just unlucky you
2022s	know this is a team that is used to
2024s	winning they have a lot of come on
2027s	from
2027s	like like like that's that's so sad like
2031s	they're i don't know they're just
2032s	they're so used to winning and i think
2033s	that you know having a loss like this
2035s	really will kick them into high gear and
2037s	also the fact that they did play against
2040s	unfamiliar
2041s	unfamiliarities right they had not
2043s	played washington justice before they
2044s	had not played the atlanta ring before
2047s	going into the kickoff clash and those
2048s	are two teams that are a little bit more
2051s	unpredictable when it comes to their
2052s	play style and also how they have
2054s	evolved their strategies
2056s	in the kickoff clash and just i know
2058s	going forward they will continue to do
2060s	so so looking at this match-up san
2063s	francisco shock i think they can get
2064s	their head back on their shoulders
2066s	because of their strong mental they will
2068s	be able to come back from the loss
2069s	yesterday and they're playing against
2070s	something that is a bit more familiar in
2072s	the houston outlaws so i think that will
2074s	give them a slight edge
2076s	[Music]
2078s	but but is it familiar though because i
2080s	feel like he's not also very different
2083s	that's true
2084s	now our reinforce as the number one seed
2087s	elixir bounce back as necro said uh what
2089s	have you seen from the houston outlaws
2091s	that will uh give the the outlaws fans
2094s	some hopium uh how can they get it done
2096s	against the san francisco shot well it's
2098s	exactly that being able to change up
2100s	your compositions you know in the last
2102s	week of the stage because so far at this
2104s	stage for the houston outlaws it's been
2105s	a lot of doomfist we've seen that from
2107s	dante but not with the moira that's
2110s	something sort of new we've seen with
2111s	this houston outlaws team and a lot of
2113s	teams in the league they don't play the
2114s	moira because it can't be exposed by
2116s	very good honest but this is something
2118s	that has worked for them and i'm happy
2120s	to see this change actually because they
2122s	had a bit of a conundrum hey are we
2123s	going to become a zorya team the
2125s	doomfist isn't really working up for us
2127s	but instead they almost like doubled
2129s	down on this dante doomfist because he
2131s	is really good on this hero and the
2134s	moira with the lucio it allows them to
2135s	go a bit more aggressive it allows them
2137s	to play a faster pace that can throw off
2140s	some of these teams so that's what i
2141s	found yesterday despite the fact that
2143s	they have twilight who is a very good
2145s	honor player their houston outlaws were
2147s	able to have it their way and i think
2148s	you can see that their first pick it was
2150s	i can valde this was the first
2152s	composition they went towards
2154s	and it's something we'll see more from
2156s	them later on today i suspect anyway i'm
2158s	also they've started to pick up the
2159s	brawl composition so this is a houston
2161s	outlaws team that is very comfortable
2163s	with who they are and what they do best
2166s	and they're not trying to like you know
2167s	fit a square through a circle or
2169s	whatever you they're just trying to do
2171s	their own thing and play for their own
2172s	strengths and i like that about this
2174s	team they're going to have a lot of fans
2175s	in the crowd today and i think if
2177s	they're able to channel that sort of
2178s	energy and keeping aggressive i think
2181s	they have the potential to throw the
2182s	summons for shock off guard once more
2184s	especially considering the shock they
2186s	haven't been perfect so far this stage
2188s	absolutely uh
2190s	well it's going to be a tough one i
2191s	think for both of those teams i'm very
2193s	excited to see them and battling it out
2195s	now another unexpected matchup is of
2196s	course the florida mayhem going up
2198s	against the dallas fuel the later
2200s	definitely not a team people expected to
2202s	see the law of record quite that soon uh
2204s	rainforest what happened to dallas
2206s	yesterday and
2208s	what would you say to them to calm their
2210s	nerves for the game today well dallas
2213s	you dropped the spaghetti it can't get
2214s	any worse there you go uh that's the
2216s	brutal realization only go up from here
2219s	yeah you drop the spaghetti this is
2220s	about as bad as you can get maybe or you
2223s	could you could lose the florida mayhem
2224s	uh good for them uh but the dallas fuels
2227s	they didn't look like their natural
2228s	selves yesterday on colosseum uh
2230s	particularly this map i think the
2232s	theories it was like going quite well
2234s	you know the gladiators they want
2235s	gibraltar and it's like okay well the
2237s	gliders are a great team they can play
2239s	these different kind of compositions but
2240s	the dallas fuel were in it
2242s	up until this map and then the hero
2244s	swaps it just was the end of them
2246s	gladiators they were playing winston
2248s	composition they were playing doomfist
2249s	and the dallas fuel they had so many
2251s	hero swaps going on we had edison on the
2253s	reaper the hanzo the tracer and then
2255s	sparkle on the tracer on the soldier it
2258s	just was all over the place so the
2260s	dallas fuel i think that they're going
2263s	into this match today um a bit more
2265s	focused a bit upset perhaps at this loss
2268s	because this was not the typical dallas
2269s	fuel that we're used to watching
2272s	usually they're very good playing a
2275s	around hand been sarah composition
2277s	edison on the reaper so far this season
2279s	has been fantastic
2280s	and i really do think that edison if
2283s	they continue to play this composition
2284s	they're going to flourish today this is
2286s	their strength they're going to play
2288s	better around it they're not going to
2289s	have all these hero swaps mishaps and
2291s	ultimate failed ultimates with no value
2294s	if you take a look at the stats
2295s	yourselves you can see edison on the
2296s	reaper first in hero damage first in
2298s	death blossom
2299s	efficiency so far this season so the
2302s	dallas fuel i think they should just
2303s	remain calm composed confident in what
2306s	they do and what they've been successful
2308s	with so far this stage and i think
2310s	they'll come out in today's series
2311s	against the florida am and honestly look
2313s	a lot better than they did yesterday so
2315s	this is where the double elimination
2317s	bracket it benefits a team like the
2318s	dallas fuel because yesterday's
2320s	performance
2321s	not really what you want to see from
2322s	them they can play better than that and
2324s	now they get another chance at the
2326s	redemption
2327s	yeah now on the other side i mean i i
2330s	generally feel like
2331s	florida is at this point playing with
2333s	house money right uh they definitely
2335s	have that wild card factor in their back
2337s	pocket as well though and that's a
2339s	player that i feel we haven't really
2341s	mentioned so much this year i'm talking
2344s	about hydron specifically hydrants
2346s	widowmaker
2348s	i mean
2349s	he was a game changer yesterday and he
2352s	went up against one of the greats in
2353s	happy on that widow and
2355s	he still managed to get so much done for
2358s	his team he managed to create that space
2361s	he managed to beat that widowmaker
2363s	distraction that you want your
2365s	widowmaker to be because the opponents
2367s	of washington justice they did have to
2369s	commit so many resources to kind of put
2371s	him in his place and even then they
2373s	still didn't quite manage that he still
2374s	got those a very very important and
2377s	crucial picks to open things up for his
2379s	teams heading into those team fights and
2382s	that's exactly what you want out of your
2384s	widowmaker player and hydron when he's
2386s	on the soldier like you know he's been
2388s	it's been looking well enough uh there
2391s	and i understand that we're probably not
2392s	going to see like a ton of widowmakers
2394s	and such just so map specific right now
2396s	but if they can bust them out on that
2398s	widowmaker i think that is very much
2400s	something they can rely on that is a
2402s	safe bet that they can win especially if
2404s	we're looking at your position here in
2407s	gurio because quite frankly
2410s	that ain't looking too good for him um
2413s	definitely has the upper hand in
2415s	literally every metric so
2418s	gurio is not the guy you're gonna call
2420s	in in order to shut hydra down on that
2423s	widowmaker that's a battle i personally
2425s	would not want to pick if i were him now
2428s	those are of course the first two
2430s	matches of the day which will ultimately
2432s	send two teams home
2435s	i mean they can stay in texas like we're
2437s	not actually putting them on an airplane
2439s	straight uh off the stage uh but don't
2441s	run away right away anymore and that is
2443s	a shame
2445s	right away i'm gonna leave her right now
2447s	no excuses and now uh later today though
2450s	we do have an enormous match-up with the
2452s	first semi-final which will decide who
2455s	will be the first team to make it into
2457s	the kick-off clash
2459s	finals the rain will take on the
2461s	gladiators and we'll get into the
2462s	nitty-gritty of that match right after
2464s	this break
2467s	[Music]
2506s	[Music]
2514s	done
2517s	[Music]
2531s	[Music]
2544s	[Music]
2545s	[Applause]
2552s	[Music]
2559s	[Music]
2574s	[Music]
2599s	so
2603s	[Music]
2638s	[Music]
2646s	this
2650s	welcome back one and all we just
2651s	discussed some of the lower bracket
2653s	matches but now it is time to take a
2655s	look at the teams which collected the
2657s	w's the last two days either at the end
2661s	of
2661s	la gladiators there we go or the atlanta
2664s	reign will punch their tickets into the
2666s	kick of clash finals tomorrow and these
2670s	two teams well they have had the
2672s	pleasure to duke it out just i don't
2674s	know a week ago or something like that
2676s	so yeah with the gladiators throwing
2678s	some
2679s	salt into a fresh wound the london
2681s	spitfire actually inflicted after
2682s	winning the brawl over atlanta that same
2685s	week during both matches atlanta seem to
2688s	struggle against ryan compositions and
2690s	we know fittingly enough that reiner can
2694s	play rhine as well
2696s	as other heroes so the gladiators they
2698s	do have some versatility here to work
2700s	with and that could
2702s	prove crucial when they go up against
2703s	the atlanta reign
2705s	again last time when we saw the
2707s	gladiators play against atlanta reign
2710s	they did utilize the reinhardt so his
2712s	usage time went up quite a bit and it
2714s	was a good look for the gladiators who
2715s	played that brawl but of course he's
2717s	also been excelling on doomfist and
2720s	predominantly we have seen the
2721s	gladiators playing those winston
2723s	compositions
2724s	either composition works for the
2726s	gladiators they have shown so much
2727s	versatility and flexibility when it
2729s	comes to their compositions and we spoke
2731s	to that for the last two days that they
2733s	just
2734s	they can adapt very very well and that
2737s	makes them a very scary opponent to go
2739s	up against and also to prepare against
2741s	now i reinforced as i said these two
2743s	teams that did need recently so uh i
2746s	guess naturally they do have a lot of
2747s	tape on each other uh which may or may
2749s	not benefit atlanta yeah i mean the
2752s	atlanta rain they got a bit stumped last
2754s	week against the l.a gladiators you know
2756s	being quite blunt with it and mainly it
2758s	was because i don't think they were
2759s	prepared for what the alligator players
2761s	were bringing out gladiators were
2762s	bringing out some of the brawl reinhardt
2764s	compositions memeing on with the london
2766s	spitfire rhino composition but it worked
2769s	out for them so you gotta give credit to
2770s	the gladiators this time around though
2772s	the atlanta reign they're able to adapt
2775s	this is the second time around and we
2777s	know that from their matches so far this
2779s	stage hawk has been fantastic when it
2781s	comes to the doomfist it just so
2783s	happened that that pig was sort of
2785s	exposed right throughout the tournament
2786s	but it's something they have in their
2788s	back pocket if they want to commit more
2790s	to the doomfist they can also play the
2791s	zara composition and this is something
2793s	that hawk has been tweeting about he's
2794s	like hey can we just finally play a team
2797s	that matches us in the tsar mirror so
2799s	far we're playing london with reinhardt
2800s	playing varys with reinhard we're
2802s	playing winston competitions can we just
2803s	play the star mirror because we're
2804s	really good at it and i fully trust him
2806s	in that so the atlanta reign we talked a
2809s	lot about the alex larry's versatility
2811s	but i do think that atlanta rain they
2813s	possess the competence at multiple
2815s	compositions themselves that will help
2817s	them out in this series so if the
2818s	gladiators bring out the reinhardt brawl
2820s	composition once more well
2823s	then you have that lamp terrain they are
2824s	able to play the doomfist that sort of
2826s	gives you an edge when it comes to
2828s	countering that composition and if the
2829s	glares want to play winston you saw
2831s	yourself 50 percent of runners uh
2833s	hate playtime so far as winston well
2835s	atlanta reign they can bring out the
2837s	zarya and try to get an edge there as
2839s	well he stands yesterday against the san
2841s	francisco shock 4.4 deaths for 10
2843s	minutes lower than a season average so
2846s	far so he managed to stay alive but also
2848s	9.8 final blows per 10 minutes this is a
2850s	guy that is able to get some of these
2852s	final blows for his team and help them
2854s	win fights so the atlanta reign i don't
2856s	think we've perhaps given them enough
2858s	credit as of yet i think they've really
2860s	come into their own this kick of clash
2862s	tournament and i think that they do
2864s	possess a really good chance against
2865s	these gladius teams knowing they're
2867s	capable to play both the doomfist and
2869s	the star competition plus they do want
2871s	their relationships
2873s	after that last match everyone's
2874s	redemption uh yeah i know it's gonna be
2876s	exciting one and necron they do say that
2879s	the old friends do make for great
2881s	enemies and on the battlefield today
2883s	we're gonna see a lot of ex-members of
2885s	the american tornado on both sides of
2887s	the field
2888s	how do you think that's going to shake
2890s	down
2893s	well that's right zoe we're going to see
2895s	some old turned new here
2898s	you know i have a lot of experience
2899s	coming in from casting overwatch
2901s	contenders and so i like sharing a
2902s	little bit of that history here from og
2905s	ultraviolet and raynor who were all on
2908s	american tornado which was one of the
2910s	top north american contenders teams that
2912s	we had almost an entire calendar year
2914s	this team got first after first they won
2917s	the north american gauntlet they won the
2920s	show match against the british hurricane
2923s	which also had just an incredible
2925s	dynasty in its own right but it's og and
2928s	ultraviolet versus rainer and i think
2930s	that the back line you can tell how much
2932s	synergy exists between og and
2934s	ultraviolet and how that has really
2935s	helped to push the atlanta reign to have
2938s	a bit more of an aggressive play style
2940s	especially as we have seen in these past
2942s	two matches from them um i mean just
2945s	being able to take the san francisco
2946s	shock by surprise is a very very big
2949s	deal and it comes off of the back a lot
2950s	of just having that extra pressure
2952s	behind you but then reiner which is
2954s	leading the charge for the los angeles
2956s	gladiators i mean the fact that these
2958s	three players have competitive history
2961s	together maybe that's going to play a
2963s	bit of a role especially as atlanta rain
2965s	are finding their footing so
2967s	a bit of upset potential here too i feel
2973s	absolutely so we got the three american
2975s	tornadoes on the battlefield throw in a
2977s	shark and you have the makings of a
2978s	horrible movie so i'm very excited for
2981s	this match now our lower bracket teams
2984s	are of course not the only ones who are
2985s	looking to redeem themselves today uh
2987s	after yesterday's ultimate prediction
2989s	boomage i think every analyst is trying
2993s	to somehow reestablish trust in the
2995s	institution that is this desk so it's
2998s	time to reveal our picks for today's
3000s	matches and um i feel some surprises
3003s	coming up with this one
3004s	[Music]
3006s	yeah you think i think so
3011s	oh mom
3013s	okay first of all reinforce i'm very
3015s	annoyed that you also enter the atlas
3017s	because i'm really trying to
3018s	get ahead and now because i have to take
3021s	the risks i'm trying to fall behind
3025s	all right the atlanta pick you're you're
3026s	alone on that one when i want to explain
3028s	yourself there
3029s	um to be honest
3031s	i really do think that both of these
3033s	matches are closer to 50 50 that we give
3035s	them credit for um and so knowing that
3038s	you guys were just like gladiators san
3039s	francisco shelf it's like no these are
3042s	even matchups i'm doing the dirty work
3044s	i'm covering up for all the analysts
3045s	okay this way we can't all be wrong
3048s	someone has to be wrong and so i'm i'm
3050s	giving myself the lower the lower order
3053s	or the lower chance of being right
3055s	just to save face for us someone has to
3057s	be someone has to no and i appreciate
3059s	that i already garbage that afterwards
3060s	well let's see who of us can redeem
3063s	themselves and who has to put the head
3064s	in the sand heading into our final day
3067s	now that's it for the watchman free show
3069s	three more teams will have their kick of
3070s	class dreams cut short today but i am
3073s	sure that none of our teams are going
3075s	down without a fight so we'll be kicking
3077s	things off with our first elimination
3078s	match of the day right after this
3084s	[Music]
3092s	don't understand games
3097s	[Music]
3109s	okay there's the smile that i wanted to
3111s	see forget map number one
3114s	on the court in my range shoot a shot in
3116s	this drain hit the left and then change
3118s	the looking light to this strange on the
3120s	court in my range shoot the shot in this
3122s	drain hit the left and then changed they
3124s	looking like this strange
3126s	push it to the limit
3128s	stick it to the vision on the mission
3130s	the collision
3132s	ain't no indecision
3140s	[Music]
3150s	[Music]
3151s	spent the entire round behind a new
3153s	queen street but it's them at the end
3155s	we're in the crowd incredible comeback
3169s	welcome back
3171s	day number three
3172s	of the kickoff clash
3174s	it's me and caster ready to take you
3176s	through the games today we're back first
3179s	two games means two teams going home
3182s	scott elimination games
3184s	scary stuff who would have predicted
3186s	that it would be dallas fuel and the san
3188s	francisco shock in this position as well
3190s	they were the two highest seeds heading
3191s	into this tournament but they've
3193s	struggled neither one of them has really
3194s	lived up to their potential and you have
3197s	to start asking some questions of are
3199s	these teams going to be as dominant not
3200s	just in the kickoff clash but this
3202s	season have teams begun to catch up to
3204s	them it very much feels like it
3207s	elimination matches and number one and
3209s	number two seed in them right now have
3212s	they been figured out we spoke actually
3214s	a lot in the green room about the dallas
3216s	fuel how
3217s	look they invented that zaya cop right
3219s	yeah i'm running over that permanently
3221s	but if you kind of take a step back how
3224s	long has it been since uh they've been
3225s	running it well quite a long time at
3227s	this point and it feels like teams are
3228s	very much figuring them out ever since
3230s	that first loss against the houston
3232s	outlaws they it felt like they went back
3234s	to the drawing board they came out with
3235s	desire composition with edison on that
3237s	reaper and it's it paid dividends for
3239s	them in the regular season but now we're
3241s	in the playoffs we're playing against
3242s	the best teams that we have in the
3243s	league and people have started to find
3246s	answers to it the gladiators almost
3248s	pulled them apart they had the rush
3249s	compositions to deal with them and more
3251s	importantly dallas fuel the team that is
3253s	known for dive have looked weak on it so
3256s	far in the kickoff clash and they got
3257s	exposed against the gladiators well
3259s	their opponent today is the florida
3261s	mayhem i think we better get them up on
3263s	stage so the crowd can take a good look
3264s	at them don't you please put your hands
3266s	together for the florida mayhem
3270s	[Applause]
3271s	[Music]
3272s	[Applause]
3276s	[Music]
3279s	like a team that has been through
3281s	a couple of variations over its lifetime
3284s	but a couple of standout players
3286s	animated players at that i'm looking at
3289s	someone that tank player for the florida
3292s	mayhem he's got to be one of my favorite
3294s	players coming into the season just how
3295s	crazy he goes on camera and on stage i
3298s	tweeted about it yesterday he is my
3299s	spirit animal i think just the energy
3301s	that he brings i'm sure that is
3303s	infectious especially when you're in the
3305s	match he just brings so much energy so
3307s	much confidence and i think that
3308s	summarizes how the florida mayhem have
3310s	been so successful this season because
3313s	nobody really had them high on their
3314s	power rankings heading in they have a
3316s	lot of players that no one else was
3318s	looking at but on the big brain of
3320s	goomba he's managed to pull these guys
3321s	together and make it work your hydra on
3324s	a checkmate checkmate he was in the 2021
3327s	roster didn't see him play much dps we
3328s	did see a little bit of reinhardt that
3331s	had mixed success but then everyone else
3333s	on this team has really been popping off
3335s	and i want to talk about so much yet
3337s	he's been absolutely incredible on that
3338s	anna but i think he is crucial in
3340s	today's match he is aggressive he loves
3343s	to put out that damage but he has been
3345s	exposed so far this weekend he needs to
3347s	stay alive while also trying to pump out
3349s	that damage that we know him for
3351s	and that aggressive aggression should be
3355s	tamed because
3356s	dallas fuel backline
3358s	chio another player another rookie
3360s	supporters come into the season and he
3362s	has been popping off and i think maybe
3364s	we get to
3365s	see a little bit of dallas fuel i think
3366s	maybe should we bring him out
3368s	i think we should please welcome the
3371s	dallas fuel
3385s	of course the crowd going crazy you know
3388s	why
3389s	i don't think they expected to be in
3390s	this situation where they could get
3391s	eliminated scott but
3393s	if there's one thing they do have
3395s	it is the crowd of their backs
3398s	i'm looking at that guy on the end right
3399s	there always locked in eddie edison the
3402s	inventor that guy is an absolute monster
3406s	on the tracer and he's been
3408s	performing exceptionally well on the
3411s	reaper as well so far this season it's
3413s	the something that we've known from him
3415s	bits and pieces from his previous teams
3417s	but he sort of invented and paved the
3419s	way it should be played for the dallas
3421s	fuel he plays that aggressive style in
3423s	which the dallas you'll surround him
3425s	that then inherently gives the rest of
3427s	the team that space and then sparkle as
3429s	well has come in almost as a pinch
3431s	hitter in this playoffs
3432s	playing that soldier playing that may as
3435s	well giving them a little bit of
3436s	flexibility to be able to do different
3438s	things and then you know he's had his
3440s	genji but we've talked about their dive
3442s	it hasn't been performing to the level
3443s	and they're going to need to step up
3445s	because the florida mayhem is a great
3446s	dive team as well the dallas fuel they
3449s	cannot have that be a weakness for them
3451s	in this match yeah they can't bring in
3452s	fearless if they want to play the
3454s	winston but yeah do you want a mirror or
3455s	do you want to go back to tried and true
3457s	with harm been in the vlog so you're
3458s	like okay sorry a composition but that's
3461s	the weakness we talked about at the very
3462s	top of the show
3464s	they are very easy to suss out as soon
3465s	as you know who's in the lineup hey
3467s	well you're going to monsieur right
3469s	dallas you'll only have two looks they
3471s	have that diet composition and then they
3472s	have that fearless diet that's the only
3474s	real things we've seen from them and if
3476s	you're the florida mayhem you watched
3477s	yesterday's match
3479s	again with the dallas fuel against the
3480s	gladiators the rush composition worked
3482s	against the zaya the dive was exposable
3485s	so florida mayhem there is a path
3487s	forward as much as they're the underdogs
3489s	in this matchup i think there
3491s	is
3492s	paths for success in terms of play the
3495s	right composition maybe head to head
3497s	they don't match up as well against the
3498s	dallas fuel but if they have that
3500s	synergy and that teamwork that we know
3501s	that they have in them they can expose
3503s	the dallas fuel who look a little
3505s	rickety right now well the dallas few
3506s	are lucky they get to choose this map
3508s	coming in
3509s	they're going to liang tower we're going
3511s	to jump into map number one
3514s	the team that loses here does go home
3517s	scott
3518s	[Applause]
3521s	i'm looking at those back lines
3523s	can sir majed be tamed
3525s	he's been aggressive and
3528s	look at the damage he's outputting in
3529s	the kill fee constantly but another
3530s	person that's in the kill feed chio is
3532s	going to be hunting
3534s	down you almost caught a chio tower
3536s	yesterday because of how much impact
3538s	he's been having on this map but
3539s	honestly i'm a little surprised dallas
3541s	fuel bought florida here yesterday we
3543s	saw the gladiators pull out the rush
3545s	composition and if we're looking at it
3547s	already it looks like the florida mayhem
3549s	are locking it
3550s	the dallas who did make it work from
3552s	time to time with hanbin on that zaya
3554s	maybe they've gone back
3556s	sort of tweaked the numbers a little bit
3557s	work things around and they are
3559s	confident in how they're going to do it
3560s	but i do not want to see dallas fuel do
3562s	what they did yesterday i don't want to
3563s	see them move over to the rush that's
3565s	not their composition that they're
3566s	comfortable on play what you're good at
3568s	force florida mayhem to play your game
3572s	[Applause]
3575s	teleports out for the dallas fuel make
3578s	him on the rush with the may
3581s	mayhem can just take so much free space
3583s	look at that dallas if you're already
3584s	backing off scott dallas fuel this is
3586s	what they expected they bring sparkle
3588s	out on this genji this is a zaya reaper
3590s	genji style that we've seen some teams
3591s	use to counter the rush you get around
3594s	them and then you choose that execution
3595s	of a dive with the bubble
3597s	nice big damage to sparkle already but
3599s	florida mayhem sitting firmly on the
3601s	point sparkle has to be careful too
3603s	hydra playing the cassidy that made the
3605s	magnetic grenade could be devastating to
3607s	against you without a reflect
3609s	so much heads pointing out about land
3611s	but takes first blood someone falls
3614s	sparkle dies but now florida mayhem
3616s	don't have a lot of that space to work
3617s	with point has been unlocked in hanbin
3619s	chasing down checkmate
3621s	there's another kill the mayhem they're
3623s	gonna have to be a little bit more
3624s	careful magnetic grenade absorbed into
3626s	energy as harvey popped the bubble and
3628s	the fuel take first cap bit of a
3630s	disconnect by the florida mayhem there
3631s	that back line was playing slowly
3633s	waiting for sparkle to go in they punish
3635s	but someone gets isolated by the rest of
3637s	the fuel if they're gonna play this
3638s	style they need to find a way to get
3640s	onto the back line of the dallas you
3641s	don't allow the dps to engage on you
3643s	first
3644s	[Applause]
3648s	florida mayhem rotating all the way
3651s	around trying to catch the dallas fuel
3653s	off guard someone putting himself on the
3655s	point already edison is low pop the rate
3658s	and now the mayhem know it's time to go
3660s	fielder with the nano the dead eye
3662s	though from high ground all lucky chill
3664s	escapes and unabused has been applied to
3666s	edison who's trying to take out someone
3667s	he goes so low the immortality field not
3670s	gonna save him and edison marching on
3672s	forwards the dallas fuel find a team
3674s	kill
3676s	and they build up to 45
3677s	and counting bit of a standoff there
3680s	each of them waiting for the first one
3681s	to blink which one was gonna go first
3683s	someone getting so low before anything
3685s	even happens trading off cooldowns but
3687s	now the ultimates are starting to come
3689s	up hanbin has that graviton surge and
3691s	the dallas fuel could potentially start
3693s	cycling their ultimates like we saw from
3695s	them yesterday but the florida mayhem
3696s	have ultimates of their own checkmate
3697s	with the may and someone with the shadow
3699s	that's a lot of damage from that window
3700s	humbin almost goes down a graviton surge
3702s	to try and pick off someone another beat
3705s	in return from the florida mayhem it's a
3707s	way later so sparkle has to now back off
3710s	shio goes down and someone just runs it
3713s	down the back line
3714s	it's so hard when you beat so late or
3717s	your enemy the enemy beats so late they
3719s	can just run at you your overshield has
3720s	disappeared
3721s	and now the mayhem find their first cap
3723s	of the series
3725s	checkmate uses his wall and his may
3727s	ultimate to just dissuade the dallas
3729s	fuel from walking into that graviton
3731s	surge to pump out the damage that they
3732s	needed great play by the florida mayhem
3734s	but they used everything there to try
3736s	and hold on edison is the reaper with
3738s	this death blossom he has been getting
3740s	value time and time again keep an eye on
3742s	him to get bubbled and teleport into the
3744s	back line nano coming up for fielder
3746s	death blossom available for the fuel the
3748s	mayhem can hold back and speed away from
3750s	that death blossom or even just the nano
3752s	reaper also got
3756s	[Applause]
3759s	that's what you want to see
3761s	you're in the home crowd look at that
3763s	edison is locked in ready to go already
3766s	poem punches he embodies the reaper
3768s	right now and the florida mayhem get
3770s	wiped at a blink of an eye and now they
3772s	have to struggle 92 percent and counting
3774s	they have to move as a team they're
3776s	trying to benderson's already on the
3778s	back someone in a lot of trouble land
3780s	already used someone goes down in the
3782s	dallas fuel
3783s	are just going to run away with this one
3785s	no way that mayhem can come back i'm the
3787s	most wanting these people
3789s	in a 1v5 ain't gonna happen
3792s	the dallas fuel
3794s	take round one
3801s	fans appreciating that one and i think
3803s	this is important for the dallas you'll
3804s	get off to a good start have confidence
3807s	in your style and make the florida
3809s	mayhem question whether or not this rush
3811s	composition is going to work because
3813s	that wasn't close and you can see the
3815s	cycling and the use of the dallas fuels
3817s	ultimates is so oppressive
3820s	if you're the florida mayhem though you
3821s	need to learn from that mistake use your
3824s	ultimates better they used way too many
3825s	ultimates to counter that harm being
3826s	grabbed and here's the 5k from
3829s	medicine
3831s	they didn't see it coming from the
3833s	shadows
3835s	and the top rope
3838s	different
3840s	kind of not really take it back no
3842s	difference at all there
3843s	dallasfield tried this last time against
3845s	the gladiators and they got run over at
3847s	the very beginning by the gladiators and
3850s	then they mirrored the rush what have
3851s	they changed
3854s	chairman's still trying to isolate
3855s	hanbin
3856s	they've used that wall to back off the
3858s	retreat of the fuel but fuel are more
3860s	than happy to just speed into them hydro
3861s	on the flank trying to dish out some
3863s	damage but look at that the front line
3865s	of the mayhem already falling over
3868s	the dallas fuel going to be able to cap
3870s	once again first
3872s	somehow she had the only one to survive
3874s	has to back off and would you look at
3876s	that
3877s	we spoke about how the fuel they have
3879s	only a couple of different looks but
3881s	tried and true
3883s	if it works
3885s	you only need one look if you can
3886s	dominate the opposition with that
3888s	florida mayhem in my opinion playing too
3890s	slow they're just waiting around hoping
3892s	something's gonna happen someone's gonna
3894s	get low but the dallas feel just slowly
3895s	poking them down and then choosing their
3897s	engagement with the bubble onto edison
3899s	if you're the photo may have you need to
3900s	just play that a little bit faster no
3903s	ultimates coming up just yet closest
3904s	thing is field is nano right now sparkle
3906s	getting a whole bunch of old charge but
3908s	you can kind of dance around the point
3910s	if you're the fuel currently
3912s	both sparkle and edison taking in char
3914s	uh turns to touch sparkle building up to
3916s	that blade rather rapidly builders a
3917s	little bit faster ahead sparkle oh no
3921s	[Applause]
3923s	goodbye checkmate he got booted hit the
3925s	ice block hoped he'd crash down on a
3927s	platform didn't happen
3929s	dissolved in the water below
3932s	and now the fuel
3934s	with a full tank of alts for the next
3936s	fight the thing i want to point out to
3937s	you look at checkmate's old percentage
3939s	44
3941s	he hasn't been getting any value on the
3943s	maze so far and the walls haven't been
3945s	that good they need to find a way to cut
3947s	hanbin off from the rest of the team but
3949s	now it gets harder because dallas will
3950s	have all of those ultimates which one
3952s	are they going to pull first is there
3953s	going to be the nano blade or the grab
3956s	good look where field is aiming if he's
3958s	going for
3959s	the nano blade helmet going really low
3961s	though a couple of hp left there's the
3963s	nano there's the blade sparkle finds one
3965s	lamb's dead instant kills so much head
3967s	he's struggling with the wall just a
3968s	little bit the rest of the team are not
3970s	sparkle
3972s	with a 4k
3974s	82 for the fuel the mayhem need to come
3977s	online scott right now they're still not
3980s	even on to ultimates hydron goes for the
3982s	worldwide flank and gets slapped by
3984s	fielder time and time again filter comes
3986s	in clutch but they have the beat they
3988s	have the engagement tool with animo but
3990s	they're not close enough to the point
3991s	how they even gonna get here
3993s	99 overtime is triggered there's another
3995s	boom from geo goodbye checkmate no
3998s	blizzard for you
3999s	can they actually get there anything
4000s	they can jio's just guiding the bridge
4002s	of his life over time is ticking through
4004s	hydraulics the only one touching he
4006s	kills fielder but it doesn't matter
4009s	the dallas fuel
4011s	with a clean sweep on lee john
4014s	take that number one
4019s	that was not close
4021s	for the florida mayhem that was a
4022s	struggle start for them maybe not so
4025s	comfortable on this rush composition
4028s	is it going to work for them in the
4029s	series but i want to talk about the
4031s	dallas fuel this looks like a team that
4033s	is come back and just a different beast
4036s	going back to their previous form we've
4038s	seen them level up in the playoffs
4040s	before after taking a loss i want to see
4042s	that from them again and so far every
4045s	single one of these players individually
4048s	are delivering
4049s	sparkle i just saw that little giggle
4051s	from moving knows how well he's done and
4052s	edison too you can crack a smile edison
4054s	don't worry you're doing well we're
4057s	going to go to a quick break florida
4058s	mayhem gets choose the next map we'll
4060s	see where they want to go
4069s	[Applause]

4377s	right now if you're here in the venue
4381s	[Applause]
4386s	slow start coming in from the florida
4388s	mayhem
4388s	it
4390s	it didn't look like they were confident
4392s	in what they were trying to do we're
4393s	going to move on to midtown a map that i
4395s	think historically the florida mayhem
4397s	have been very good at but it's a
4399s	double-edged sword the dallas fuel have
4401s	also looked very good hanbin just seems
4404s	to understand how to play these corners
4406s	very very well so
4408s	if anything though after that dominant
4410s	first map from the dallas fuel if i'm
4411s	the florida mayhem i would like to see
4413s	them go to their comfort get someone
4414s	onto that winston
4417s	i have to see this was
4419s	mayhem's choice too so
4424s	hope it's a map they're well drilled on
4430s	great i think gravy's been insane every
4431s	day easy easy one easy clap easy win i'm
4434s	sure he's in their headsets right now oh
4436s	yeah forget about that first map you
4437s	know it happens from time to time we've
4439s	seen
4440s	many a reverse sweep so far this season
4442s	and it can always start here and i think
4446s	i want to see the florida mayhem just
4448s	played with some of their strengths it
4449s	felt like they weren't really playing
4451s	confident it didn't really feel like
4452s	they were wanting to take that first
4454s	initiative take that first step and that
4456s	just gave dallas fuel the freedom to do
4458s	whatever they want looks like my wish is
4461s	coming true though for the florida
4462s	mayhem someone on that winston as a
4465s	rookie has been absolutely dominant
4468s	leading the charge just always seems to
4470s	know perfectly how to balance that last
4472s	50 health
4474s	that's crazy escaping with no hp
4476s	you die really early on especially in
4478s	midtown it can be quite the role if you
4479s	don't get that high ground on a second
4481s	point
4482s	you can have a tough time and spend a
4483s	lot of ultimates doing doing so remember
4486s	sparkles rocket jump with the soldier on
4487s	the high ground and the nano visor
4488s	pretty spicy sparkles new trick might
4491s	come out again today
4493s	sing harpin switch over to that zaya so
4494s	we're gonna see both teams here on their
4497s	comfort picks but sparkle starting on
4499s	the tracer and not the soldier quite
4500s	interesting
4502s	definitely want to go on a a flanked
4504s	approach here
4506s	i tried going pretty low already
4508s	so sparkle just wants to get in a
4509s	position where you can pressure that
4510s	point
4511s	try and check checkmates
4513s	and make sure hydra has like three
4515s	different ways to look you can see now
4516s	they're taking the high ground in the
4517s	top right hand corner
4519s	let's just check me trying to bully them
4520s	back but it's a little bit more tough
4522s	than you'd expect the thing i like about
4525s	chio is you can see him actually helping
4527s	sparkle clear these rooms
4529s	but we have someone on the high ground
4530s	he's waiting to find someone that he can
4532s	engage on as edison goes in with the
4533s	teleport again teleport bubble someone
4536s	doesn't take all too much damage but
4537s	look at the fuel they've uh moved
4539s	straight under the florida mayhem but
4541s	now backing off they have to wait for
4542s	zarya bubbles to come back up
4544s	either with harm being gaining a lot of
4546s	energy or just like moving awesome going
4548s	super low in fact the dallas fuel just
4550s	runs straight to the back line
4552s	so much head had nothing to say in that
4555s	engagement and now the mayhem are gonna
4556s	have to
4558s	hopefully wait for him to come back and
4559s	go again that the point has got a tick
4561s	but there's still a brief window here
4563s	where they can contest it looks like the
4565s	florida mayhem are starting to walk up
4567s	they want to re-engage onto this one
4569s	checkmate goes first touch the point
4570s	huge snake though someone going super
4572s	low and nano 100 already he's 100 energy
4574s	so much it doesn't stand a chance not
4576s	against the dive
4578s	sparkle helping clean on up the dallas
4580s	fuel in a blink of an eye take
4583s	checkpoint a to get that fire truck
4585s	rolling with five minutes on the clock
4587s	scott and they've already taken the high
4588s	ground once again the florida mayhem
4590s	just getting caught flat footed what was
4592s	their strategy on that first point just
4593s	wait around hoping it feels like they
4595s	need to find that engage window and go
4597s	but they can't seem to find it against
4599s	the dallas fuel and most importantly
4601s	right now dallas has got the whole
4602s	clothesline
4604s	however sound barrier
4607s	is gonna negate a lot of that damage
4608s	hanbin pays for his sins
4611s	as hydro takes them out no bubbles to
4612s	spare
4614s	okay high ground control for the mayhem
4616s	this is the spot they really want to be
4617s	in especially with this soldier
4621s	phenomenal sound barrier by an animal
4623s	keeping everybody alive and that's such
4625s	an important hold we've seen many people
4628s	hold for multiple minutes or even just
4629s	full holding on this second point
4631s	because you have this crossfire you're
4633s	gonna see someone up here in this window
4635s	already so much ed can heal him from a
4637s	distance but dallas fuel have snuffed it
4639s	out trying to push him out early yeah
4641s	taking the high ground is pretty
4642s	important sparkle back on the soldier
4645s	hey you don't want to let someone get
4647s	anything for free here does that primal
4648s	rage so if he wants to isolate the
4650s	supports he can do but sparkle and
4652s	edison are actually holding back making
4654s	sure his supports are
4656s	well looked after
4657s	hydron has that visor with the nano as
4659s	well something he's been so good at so
4661s	far this year always getting the value
4663s	teleport version on the high ground
4664s	they're going to rush in with the beat
4665s	he's so close to that death blossom
4667s	someone says
4668s	i'm out of here i'm just like that a
4670s	single beat it's going to be good out of
4672s	nowhere sparkle picks off sir magette
4676s	still no ultimates from the florida
4678s	mayhem what are they doing they're not
4680s	committing to anything they're just
4682s	slowly bending back slowly bending back
4684s	until it breaks eventually when dallas
4685s	fuel find a pick
4687s	spot
4688s	again
4690s	how
4691s	he's now asleep i suppose but look at
4693s	how much free push they're getting scott
4695s	florida mayhem may as well be asleep
4697s	right now because they're just not
4699s	offering enough i want to see a big
4700s	engage coming in from someone the thing
4702s	he's done so much so far that advisor
4704s	coming up better since waiting in the
4706s	wings nano death blossom maybe now no
4708s	harm bit a dive onto the back line
4710s	fielder in a little bit of trouble look
4711s	at that though nano death blossom
4712s	straight on top of hydrant that nana
4714s	wasn't going to save you for too long a
4716s	beautiful sleep oh but a pulse is so
4718s	good from checkmate just weaves his way
4721s	in sticks into fielder's back sparkle
4723s	though still coming up with kills and
4725s	nearing the visor but he gets taken out
4726s	by someone the stand is here however
4730s	edison still finding kills but with the
4731s	lack of healing unlikely that the fuel
4733s	are going to press on
4736s	florida mayhem hold on to that one a
4738s	very important hole two and a half
4740s	minutes remaining on this map
4743s	but it costs florida mayhem a lot humbin
4745s	has another grow overton surge but animo
4747s	has that beat they've reassumed this
4749s	high ground on the second point and it
4751s	can be difficult for this dallas fuel
4753s	composition to control space to get in i
4755s	wouldn't be surprised to see another
4757s	sparkle jump onto the high ground as han
4758s	bin does the same
4759s	graviton surge available thrown out it
4762s	catches the lip
4764s	of the high ground and now the visor
4766s	comes through no nano boost to back him
4769s	up that edison doing a fair bit of
4770s	damage in animal unfortunately whipping
4772s	the beat a massive ultimate now denied
4775s	from the mayhem the dallas fuel all they
4778s	need to do is touch the payload just
4779s	pressure it out and make mayhem come to
4781s	you and that's exactly what they're
4782s	trying to do someone and sir moshed
4784s	undead and the dallas fuel keeping the
4786s	payload going a lot of time burnt off
4788s	for the mayhem one minute and 30 now
4790s	remains for the fuel pulse bomb goes
4792s	wide uncharacteristic play from
4794s	checkmate and armor goes down yet again
4797s	same fate for checkmate the dallas fuel
4801s	running it home
4803s	three minutes now for the last point
4804s	someone goes down a bit of free all
4806s	charge and the dallas fuel continue the
4809s	snowball
4810s	animal getting caught in the air against
4812s	the visor just gets picked down quickly
4815s	we're gonna see an adjustment here from
4816s	the florida mayhem as checkmate moves
4818s	away from the tracer onto the echo maybe
4821s	wanting that beam to punish han bin for
4823s	playing this aggressive start but edison
4825s	is hiding with that desk awesome right
4827s	now
4828s	don't do him dirty edison
4830s	he's hiding in the back line waiting for
4832s	an engage does teleport and he's
4833s	revealed himself so the florida may have
4835s	no to scatter but he's out activated for
4837s	hydro but instantly heartbeat an edison
4839s	tag team duo
4841s	taking care of the mayhem
4843s	hydra once again denied any usefulness
4845s	of the tactical fighter and edison finds
4847s	himself three kills in that fight
4849s	the dallas fuel
4850s	they have two minutes to go
4852s	to put this payload in
4854s	a couple of volts for the florida mayhem
4855s	may stem the bleeding just for the time
4857s	being they're on a roll right now and
4858s	most importantly hanbin is holding close
4860s	with that graviton search he's going
4862s	into spawner they're going to grab tom
4863s	serge the spawn door touch the spawn
4865s	door very easy
4867s	edison with the nano doesn't get too
4868s	much stuff done but they still end up
4869s	finding a kill now someone's in the back
4871s	line but look at that straight in the
4872s	spawn is han bin he's taken a fair bit
4874s	of damage but not enough to dissuade the
4877s	rest of the fuel just running over the
4879s	mayhem they still got time in the bank
4882s	florida need to touch they ain't gonna
4884s	do it
4885s	and the fuel completes
4888s	one minute and 30 seconds in the time
4890s	bank
4896s	florida mayhem don't seem to have the
4898s	answer to this dallas fuel zaya
4900s	composition
4901s	we saw the gladiators expose it
4903s	yesterday but
4905s	something is just not working for them
4908s	they need to start finding their groove
4910s	as i said so many times they just are
4912s	always so slow they are never the ones
4915s	taking the initiative and that's just
4917s	giving dallas fuel free reign
4919s	hanbin if you give him any space you
4921s	give him an inch he's going to touch
4924s	your spawn door and he has done that
4925s	multiple times already in this match
4929s	describing almost no hp straight in the
4932s	spawn taking care of both the lucio and
4934s	the echo
4936s	i know it's just not uh
4938s	had the sharpest of game either lost
4940s	that beat on the second point he's been
4942s	just permanently he i feel like he's in
4944s	a lucio mode where he's like okay i
4945s	gotta touch i just have to permanently
4947s	touch like they're pushing it way too
4948s	far i need to just get onto this payload
4950s	stay alive
4951s	wait for the rest of my team to respawn
4952s	and then they can dish out damage and
4954s	hopefully we can turn the tides but it's
4956s	just not working out dow still
4958s	recognizing the win conditions of the
4961s	florida mayhem as well we've talked so
4963s	much about hydron's nano visors they do
4966s	so much damage he knows that perfect
4968s	window but it feels like every time
4969s	hydron's tried to do anything on li
4971s	jiang power he got slapped in this last
4973s	one edison's in his face with his own
4975s	nano death blossom hydra needs to stop
4977s	trying to find this value on the soldier
4979s	otherwise the florida mayhem it might be
4982s	it might the doors might close before
4983s	they find any footing
4986s	remember whoever loses this series does
4987s	end up going home the winner advances to
4990s	later today
4992s	dallas feel with a nice defense a few
4993s	nice nades coming out from fielder super
4995s	early on we've seen this set up from the
4998s	dallas fuel before they like to keep
4999s	sparkle in this window and the dallas
5001s	who don't want to let the florida mayhem
5003s	get into this alleyway they're going to
5004s	fight for this as you see edison go in
5006s	oh
5007s	and this is bubble dancing
5009s	animo tried to go
5011s	or like come for the rescue didn't end
5012s	up working out and now they're all
5013s	trapped in this very very shady looking
5016s	alleyway not where you want to be if you
5018s	match up against the fuel
5020s	three minutes to go to mayhem
5023s	not found any ground yet to take
5028s	dallas fuel play this point so well they
5030s	never give you any positioning the the
5032s	top train is a death trap this alleyway
5035s	if you can get your team around there
5036s	you can almost pincer the defensing team
5039s	but the dallas still recognize that they
5040s	will never allow you to get down this
5042s	alleyway with anyone other than the
5044s	tracer and you can see hanbin he doesn't
5045s	want to play on the high ground he likes
5047s	to play on this taxi and wait for them
5048s	to go but florida mayhem are going to
5050s	engage on them wow harmon actually just
5051s	gets deleted filter was so close to his
5054s	nano
5055s	edison chio doing what they do best and
5057s	killing but the problem is checkmate and
5060s	the rest of the gang for the florida
5061s	mayhem are going to be good no ultimates
5063s	expended fielder was a couple of
5065s	percentage away from saving harmony
5067s	maybe that's why hanbin went aggressive
5069s	thinking that fielder would have that
5070s	nano to back him up florida mayhem
5072s	that's what i want to see from the play
5073s	that aggression sparkle dallas you
5075s	wanted to go for that re-engage but with
5076s	sparkle down this is a lost cause almost
5079s	i'd be surprised to see dallas fuel
5080s	reengage in this one try and get out
5082s	with that hardman energy and set up on
5084s	that high ground on the second point
5086s	that we say is so valuable for florida
5087s	mayhem not letting him have it oh this
5090s	is good this is what you want if you
5091s	look forward to mayhem right now you
5092s	want to get the high ground 8sap and
5094s	that's exactly what they're doing
5095s	chasing down
5097s	the dallas fuel a lot of ultimates
5099s	almost every ultimate florida mayhem 99
5101s	for someone
5102s	but the dallas field got a whole
5104s	concoction of their own a much better
5106s	look here from the mayhem playing their
5108s	own tempo not allowing the dallas fuel
5110s	to be the ones going first i wouldn't be
5113s	surprised to see florida to do something
5114s	extreme right now to not let dallas just
5116s	engage with hamburg's graviton surge
5119s	mohammed's lining up for it poplar
5121s	filter has been
5123s	oh
5124s	it's been disengaged or they're
5126s	attempting to disengage but they've got
5127s	to go for something so they grab someone
5130s	he pops the primal rage and it's going
5131s	to be okay it's a 5v4 with checkmate
5133s	moving the payload but edison kills off
5135s	someone there's the beat hydron nano
5138s	visor the beat is just going to absorb
5140s	so much of that damage now hydra in
5142s	trouble he's got the beat to back him up
5143s	a clutch from animo to keep the team
5146s	alive and keep hydron
5148s	where he's going to be able to do the
5149s	most work up on that high ground hanbin
5151s	gets nanoed however and pushes him off a
5153s	return visor from sparkle kills off sir
5156s	magette and the florida mayhem they push
5158s	the card a fair while scott but
5161s	they've not made much progress the fuel
5164s	are coming up once more big they're
5166s	getting the high ground control once
5167s	again animo with the twinkle toes there
5170s	just putting hanbin through a loop right
5172s	now and managing to get out but the
5174s	dallas fuel have set up on this higher
5175s	ground but how many times have we seen
5177s	this get done edison with the death
5179s	blossom
5180s	he's gonna be hiding he's gonna be
5181s	waiting for you and that's gonna be the
5182s	engagement tool and florida mayhem have
5184s	no answers to this
5186s	edison's got the death blossom it's
5188s	gonna be haunting florida mayhem's
5190s	dreams that was a close one-shot
5192s	headshot of melee easy game
5197s	mayhem just
5198s	asserting their presence on the high
5200s	ground look at that dallas fuel backing
5201s	all the way up but ideally you just want
5202s	to make sure they come to them dad is
5204s	not in the top rope again
5206s	an inconceivable amount of kills from
5208s	the reaper already he takes care of two
5212s	and with two minutes and 30 seconds to
5213s	go the mayhem have to back off
5216s	someone ends up dying they're at least
5218s	building up a few oats but dallas fuel
5220s	their ultimate economy looking so strong
5222s	scott so smart by the dalton to
5225s	disengage give florida mayhem that space
5227s	only to take it right back with that
5229s	death blossom so checkmate goes down
5232s	just here but he has that pulse bomb he
5234s	came up last fight clutch getting that
5236s	pulse bomb onto fielder he needs to do
5238s	the same again
5242s	nano edison running straight at the back
5244s	line nice boom from animo but look at oh
5248s	just jump straight in front of him the
5249s	nano invited to try and counter but he
5251s	just got one shot
5253s	that the dallas fuel once again touching
5255s	that spawn door
5257s	that hurts i don't think florida mayhem
5258s	were ready for that level of aggression
5260s	holding scott
5262s	touch the spawn door dallas let him out
5264s	come on this is just rude at this point
5266s	you can't keep leaving them in there
5267s	hanbin is so aggressive he's gonna get
5269s	caught out
5270s	should be fine he's got a lot of healing
5271s	field off on the high ground okay now
5273s	they back off scott but look graviton
5275s	surge oh checkmate was touching the
5276s	payload the whole time yeah they've got
5278s	to respond a nice
5279s	work from checkmate drawing the dallas
5282s	fuel all the way back granting them that
5284s	space that they wanted helix rocket from
5286s	downtown taking care of sparkle
5290s	checkmate's doing a phenomenal job just
5291s	forcing the positioning of dallas fuel
5293s	by being annoying on that car tp onto
5295s	high ground there's the grab from han
5297s	bin shed is dead nothing more to see
5300s	here folks hydro was put to rest as well
5304s	harm been with three kills 50 seconds to
5307s	go the mayhem need to find something now
5310s	scott
5312s	dallas fuel are going to play aggressive
5313s	here they want to force these ultimates
5315s	out by the florida mayhem we're going
5317s	into last fight territory with only 45
5319s	seconds remaining sparkle has that visor
5322s	chill with that beat to answer the
5324s	aggression from the florida mayhem how
5325s	do they bust this wide open i'm pretty
5327s	sure someone's going to go deep with
5328s	this primal
5331s	they're gonna have to do something they
5332s	also need to touch the payload there it
5333s	is engagement from someone nice bubble
5336s	from hanbin to save sparkle he spot the
5338s	tactical visor but immediate response
5339s	from the mayhem they can use that beat
5341s	to search on forward but a nade and
5342s	their sleep straight up to someone
5344s	denying the primal rage very few tools
5346s	left in the arsenal for the mayhem
5349s	they're merely causing a ruckus right
5351s	now it's innocent in the back line again
5354s	the death blossoms have been so good the
5357s	dallas fuel you might as well touch the
5359s	spawn someone forced to use the primal
5362s	rage he can't even touch the dallas fuel
5366s	putting themselves on match points
5368s	against the mayhem that mayhem need to
5370s	come back they lose this next map scott
5373s	they're going home
5376s	everything that the florida mayhem threw
5378s	at the dallas fuel
5380s	the fuel had an answer it felt like
5382s	every time they tried to do anything
5385s	there was another hammer at the door
5387s	someone in that final fight getting
5389s	slept i believe before he's able to use
5392s	that primal rage he falls and then the
5394s	front line is lost and the dallas fuel
5396s	just run through the rest of the team
5399s	dallas fuel looking absolutely
5401s	exceptional today i would not want to be
5404s	in the lower bracket right now with how
5406s	well they're performing
5408s	absolute dominance coming out from the
5410s	boys in blue one more game
5412s	and they'll be through we'll see you
5414s	guys after this break map number three
5416s	coming up in a bit
5419s	[Music]
5423s	[Applause]
5434s	oh
5437s	[Music]
5458s	[Music]
5474s	ah
5475s	[Music]
5509s	so
5512s	[Music]
5537s	[Music]
5571s	mm-hmm
5573s	[Music]
5598s	[Music]
5603s	[Music]
5610s	so
5615s	[Music]
5659s	[Music]
5676s	the man the myth the luchador for 200
5679s	league tokens you can get the kickoff
5681s	clash legendary skin the lucha reaper on
5685s	sale now through june
5687s	25th you're going to want to pick that
5690s	one up it's going to go away soon so
5692s	yeah there you go
5693s	all right dallas fuel this is the mayhem
5696s	2-0
5698s	mayhem i need to step it up scott
5701s	this is not the florida mayhem that got
5703s	the number four seed this is not the
5705s	florida mayhem that has been impressing
5706s	us all season so far yes
5709s	they're going up against the dallas fuel
5710s	a team that has been dominant especially
5712s	on that zaya composition and i think
5715s	that's why they've moved on we're going
5717s	over to watchpoint gibraltar and that
5719s	means a fundamental switch in how this
5721s	game is going to be played we've got
5723s	subs coming in from the dallas fuel the
5725s	classics
5726s	we have gurio coming in here as you see
5728s	on your screen for edison
5730s	and where there is gurio there is
5732s	fearless as well we talked about this in
5735s	leading into this match
5737s	the dive has been a weakness for the
5739s	dallas fuel so far
5741s	it really has and guerrilla didn't have
5743s	an exceptional performance on the
5744s	widowmaker versus arms but then both
5745s	widowmakers weren't doing
5747s	so hot but now it's time to step it up
5749s	there's a man everybody loves on your
5750s	screen right now harm is stepping back
5753s	we've got fearless stepping up winston
5755s	versus winston against someone
5758s	it's a good matchup i'm excited to see
5760s	this one hydra did really well that i
5762s	will say on the widowmaker yesterday
5764s	yeah let me talk about that a little bit
5765s	more hydron went toe-to-toe with happy
5767s	yesterday and i think came pretty much
5769s	even he had good value he was forcing
5772s	happy into positions and he was getting
5774s	impactful picks
5775s	but let me talk about gurio because he
5777s	did not have that same level of impact
5779s	in their match yesterday and it was a
5780s	problem so they need to put their
5782s	confidence in him again and he needs to
5784s	play with more confidence yesterday he
5786s	got four final blows to 11 deaths which
5790s	is
5790s	we just need to see more from him we
5792s	know he's a phenomenal player we know
5794s	he's a rookie he can step it up
5796s	if he's going to do it he needs to do it
5798s	now get that confidence up because even
5800s	if they beat the florida mayhem
5802s	it gets harder from here it does
5804s	sony and up with till battle
5807s	looks like both teams are ready to rock
5809s	and roll
5811s	before it made him lose this they are
5813s	out and the dallas fuel will advance to
5814s	later today the number two seed
5818s	jumping down to the lower bracket quite
5820s	early on but
5822s	they are just primed and ready to go
5825s	gibraltar is the map
5828s	this could be a clean sweep and what a
5830s	massive confidence booster that would be
5833s	for later on today
5834s	we've talked about so many reverse
5836s	sweeps it just doesn't feel like it's in
5838s	the air right now so i don't know
5840s	what you do as a coach if you are the
5842s	florida mayhem but you need to find a
5844s	way to get these guys in fortunately for
5846s	them this is a dive map something that
5848s	they should feel comfortable on they're
5850s	going to end up in that mirror
5852s	i'm curious to see where some of these
5853s	players are going to go in their hero
5855s	selection sparkle i was expecting to
5857s	play genji yesterday on this map but
5858s	actually decided to play tracer well
5860s	checkmate someone we've seen played the
5862s	genji and the tracer as well so are we
5864s	going to see a mirror on the tracer or
5865s	we're going to see some genji
5870s	crowd definitely wants the 3-0 that is
5872s	for sure
5875s	he had a tough day yesterday they did
5877s	have a tough day
5878s	but today is a new day
5881s	sparkle on the tracer no genji i want to
5883s	see curio with him i want to see that
5885s	massive impact we know he can be
5887s	no way hydra plays the uh shojin coming
5890s	out of spawn
5891s	someone on the road huck
5892s	another oldest trick in the book we did
5894s	see him actually play it legitimately in
5897s	the first weekend it was a little bit of
5899s	a troll if i'm being honest it did not
5901s	work for them as well and i don't expect
5903s	him to stay on this he's gonna walk out
5905s	throw the hook hope someone is getting a
5906s	little bit too greedy close on and see
5909s	if he can get that hook fearless having
5911s	none of it actually drops the winston
5912s	bubble to negate that one
5915s	florida mayhem actually have a
5916s	completely different comp than we expect
5918s	here hydron on the tracer and checkmate
5922s	on the genji so they don't want to take
5924s	this widow 1v1
5925s	interesting something that i thought
5927s	they would have had the advantage on but
5928s	would prefer to put apply pressure in
5930s	the form of a dive rather than the
5932s	widowmaker head to head
5933s	i don't hate this on often on gibraltar
5936s	we see offensive widow if they just
5938s	don't get any picks they don't get those
5939s	impactful head shots it can just
5941s	snowball out of control and before you
5943s	know it you've been full held the tracer
5945s	gives you more consistent value but
5947s	hydrants being hunted down right now
5949s	yes he hasn't got a recall either
5950s	sparkle with an easy clean up
5953s	no health pack at all or good sleep in
5956s	fact
5957s	on to someone he's so low he might not
5959s	be able to get out of this today's going
5960s	to come from above goodbye someone
5962s	although sir machete
5964s	actually him and animo came to the
5966s	rescue can they survive in this small
5968s	room
5969s	sparkle now trying to find the bank oh
5970s	my god okay taking the damage into your
5973s	own hands the florida mayhem backline
5975s	wipe out the dallas fuel they're gonna
5977s	have to go for a reset
5979s	fine i'll do it myself the back line
5981s	says they run through this is what we
5983s	expect from sir majed phenomenal play
5985s	most importantly right now they've got
5987s	control of this server room so they can
5988s	play safely you can see field is trying
5990s	to rout around them as we get into this
5993s	close to this checkpoint oh
5996s	sparks of trouble has postponed someone
5998s	is auntied yet again a big stick artimo
6001s	falls so much head close to that nano
6003s	that's what they're gonna have to use to
6004s	sustain them in this fight if they
6006s	choose to stick here of course but now
6008s	he's under a lot of pressure dive from
6010s	the uh from the fuel
6012s	and so my shed dies and uh with the
6014s	closer spawns you'll take that trade any
6016s	day of the week if you are the fuel
6018s	goodbye someone
6020s	all too common we see at full holds here
6023s	on watchpoint gibraltar and with all
6025s	these ultimates that the fuel uh bearing
6027s	right now
6028s	the mayhem are gonna have to ride on
6030s	this nanoblade sparkle coming up clutch
6032s	with that pulse bomb onto animo that was
6034s	so important florida mayhem had all the
6036s	positioning busted that wide open but as
6038s	you said the nanoblade is coming up for
6040s	the florida mayhem you only really get
6042s	one good ultimate cycle but here we come
6044s	hydron open this one up checkmate has to
6046s	worry about one less person and just
6048s	focus on the support nano blade for
6050s	checkmate he's in the back the rally's
6052s	coming out from chio can he finish
6054s	anybody off no he cannot he just gets
6055s	double pooped away there's almost no
6057s	damage coming out from the genji and
6059s	phoenix comes up big
6061s	that primal rage
6063s	squishing the mayhem
6065s	the one ultimate combo that you needed
6067s	to work if you're florida
6070s	completely denied by the rally whip shot
6073s	and you're out
6074s	broke his ankles right there checkmate
6076s	gets a little greedy with the dash
6077s	thinking he went through the door
6079s	no one's there
6081s	can't catch up and now they're in
6082s	trouble they only have the primal rage
6084s	by someone and the rally for animo oh
6086s	sparkle hits the wall take that wall
6089s	okay there's the primal rage phil got
6090s	hit with an too fielder dies this could
6093s	be trouble for the fuel
6096s	slice is still active for the dallas
6097s	fuel they do eventually fade away and
6099s	shio finds himself in a very unfavorable
6101s	position
6103s	dallas feel they have fielder coming
6104s	back but without fearless having that
6106s	primal rage looks rather unwinnable
6108s	right now checkmate chases him towards
6110s	his spawn and that will be it first
6112s	point for the mayhem a fantastic nate
6115s	from sermo shed to set that whole thing
6116s	up yeah dallas fuel getting a little too
6118s	aggressive with that back line and the
6120s	florida mayhem do a great job punishing
6122s	now we get on to this second point and
6124s	we talk about how important this
6125s	snowball is if you can get this
6127s	positioning and force the dallas fuel to
6130s	be under pressure walking out of these
6131s	doors you can get this point for almost
6133s	free but you can see the dallas still
6135s	trying to take control of this ship back
6137s	doing just that sparkle granted us to
6140s	play a little bit further back than he
6141s	wants to say mcgregor right now he's
6143s	only now retaking the ship but spots two
6145s	players
6146s	up on the high ground trying to deny him
6148s	as much space as possible good bubble
6149s	from someone on the entry onto the dive
6151s	chio extremely low literally one hp
6153s	somehow survives and gurio finds his
6155s	first headshot of the game or headshot
6157s	kill i should say in hydra
6159s	and the dallas fuel are just trying to
6160s	corral mayhem in this small health back
6162s	room to setting fear to start with the
6163s	primal that's a whole bunch of damage
6166s	can they finish up checkmate getting
6167s	resets filter and shield are dead
6169s	checkmate going crazy in this room
6172s	maybe it doesn't belong to the fuel
6173s	after all
6174s	phyllis does kill one but he eventually
6176s	gets cleaned in the fuel
6179s	not expecting all the damage coming out
6181s	from the genji that's played for them
6183s	too now chad mate coming in clutch and
6185s	they have control and they didn't use
6186s	anything for that as well the dallas who
6188s	are going to reengage they have
6189s	ultimates of their own but a pulse bomb
6191s	under chia who's coming up to that rally
6192s	is going to be very important when are
6194s	they going to pull the trigger not too
6195s	bad there's the nano there's the blade
6198s	he eventually pulls it out doesn't find
6200s	deadly no tell a lie one slash two kills
6203s	now fearless is on the end of this blade
6206s	unfortunately for the fuel with fielder
6207s	dying they may rely on this rally to
6210s	back them up but the point was taking
6211s	the florida mayhem
6213s	now can make
6215s	use of this space that granted in the
6217s	third they're pushing on it with two
6219s	minutes of 45.
6221s	gurio not sure what he wants to do
6222s	switches over to the soldier but back to
6224s	the widow i like the widow pick here i
6226s	think it gives you such long sight lines
6228s	and you it forces the florida mayhem to
6230s	respect the sight lines from the dallas
6233s	fuel
6234s	we still have a lot of ultimates coming
6235s	up from the florida mayhem though they
6237s	have those engagement tools with someone
6239s	and animo how are they going to set this
6241s	up
6243s	i think you're hydrating so low double
6245s	bling cow once again sparkle coming up
6247s	big in the 1v1
6248s	[Applause]
6249s	i don't have healthback advantage to
6251s	postpone
6255s	let's go sparkle
6257s	[Applause]
6258s	that's a player who has impressed me
6260s	ever since i called him a d tier tracer
6262s	on twitter i think i think he's doing it
6264s	to spite me at this point he has just
6266s	been absolutely exceptional on that
6268s	tracer just his pulse bombs i think are
6270s	the thing that are most impressive very
6272s	very consistent
6273s	so now the florida may have running
6275s	hydra picking up that widow door and
6277s	getting the first pick
6279s	out patient he is
6282s	geo they're being a good oh what what
6286s	intended oh that was uh that was a bit
6288s	strange
6289s	he's good though smartwatch to be
6291s	careful he does recall can he hit with a
6292s	headshot not quite hydro now in trouble
6294s	60 hp and diminishing he's getting a lot
6297s	of healing from his back line with a
6298s	rally from the mayhem to try and push
6300s	them on they still have to worry about
6301s	sparkling the back hydrant getting
6302s	focused down it'll be a free line of
6304s	sight here for gurio if they do take
6306s	care of hydra not gonna be quite so
6309s	lucky but the dive target has been
6310s	changed sir marchette now falls fearless
6313s	and sparkle once again in the back line
6316s	causing havoc guerrilla gets revenge on
6318s	hydron and fuel coming up big once more
6321s	in this team fight a minute to go now
6324s	cheers rally just keeping the back line
6326s	of the dallas fuel alive someone has
6328s	been holding on to this primal rage for
6330s	what feels like forever unable to find a
6332s	window to get in
6335s	florida mayhem running out of time right
6337s	now we're in final fight territory
6338s	they're coming up to the nano blade
6339s	again we saw checkmate go huge last time
6342s	has to be big but dallas feel have got
6344s	also their own their primal to maybe
6345s	deny it
6346s	they also got a nano from fielder they
6349s	just have to wait for the shake my blade
6350s	this is the last tool that they can uh
6352s	potentially get a team wiper close to oh
6355s	my word sparkle is not seen feel his
6357s	neck there he's like a bit of whiplash
6359s	maybe
6360s	shane may with a very very nice pick to
6362s	start us off but curio activating those
6364s	sights they're going to play a little
6365s	bit more safe okay played online but
6367s	already fearless jumping into the back
6369s	line the perfect pick the perfect two
6371s	picks in fact so much yet couldn't even
6373s	get that nano off does check may pull
6375s	the plane or do florida make him try to
6377s	wait now there's five seconds to go and
6379s	they still need to touch that payload
6380s	once again the dallas fuel happy to play
6382s	in the spawn doors someone backing up
6385s	fearless has been taken out and now
6390s	now they can't touch scots i'll finish
6392s	that sentence now they can't touch
6395s	the nano blade the only ultimate combo
6398s	they have to come into the fight gets
6400s	completely denied by fearless in the end
6402s	that fight perfectly encapsulates in my
6405s	opinion the entire issue with the
6407s	florida mayhem so far checkmate gets a
6409s	phenomenal kill for free onto the
6411s	sparkle tracer yet they're still
6413s	hesitant they're not willing to go in
6416s	instead felis goes in with the nano
6418s	primal and kills two people before the
6420s	florida mayhem have a chance to even
6422s	answer
6423s	they're just not being proactive they
6425s	need to be faster it looked like it was
6427s	getting better so far in that map but at
6429s	the third point just a little too slow
6434s	right mayhem's defense
6437s	remember if they lose this they're gone
6438s	goodbye
6440s	the future want to end it right here
6442s	right now just dust this match off move
6443s	on to the next one a little bit later on
6446s	they'll be facing the winner of the next
6448s	game
6450s	which
6451s	if you're a betting man would be the san
6452s	francisco shock it's a matchup i would
6454s	like to watch today but hey never say
6457s	never
6458s	for the houston outlaws maybe the dante
6460s	doomfist might come in clutch finally
6463s	but we're going to the offensive round
6465s	for
6466s	the dallas fuel they've looked good so
6467s	far spark on that tracer has been making
6470s	waves gurio on this attack round as i
6472s	said i want him to impress me i want him
6474s	to impress everyone start making him
6477s	valuable fearless going for the same
6479s	thing on the roadhog that ain't
6480s	happening
6483s	it's all good all good
6486s	all right we're seeing hydrant actually
6488s	starting the widowmaker this time too
6489s	scott
6492s	that was close don't want to peak that
6494s	jeez the tracer
6501s	this is an interesting first point in
6503s	the widow head to head it's all about
6505s	forcing the positioning what guru is
6507s	going to want to do is slowly take more
6508s	and more space force the florida mayhem
6510s	to respect him and slowly fall back
6513s	while hydra is going to try and hold the
6514s	door you can see him playing under the
6516s	cart as sparkle slowly pushes it forward
6520s	gonna check all those grapple spots just
6522s	in case hydra peeks his head he's way
6524s	back now
6528s	yeah even korea was like wow that was
6530s	like uh that he just got timing there i
6532s	felt like yeah he was just dropping down
6533s	trying to find something and hydra
6535s	peaked him at the exact time it's always
6537s	the way as soon as you unscope they go
6543s	right now fearless going super low
6545s	couldn't jump out didn't have the
6546s	cooldown available by the looks of it
6549s	i want to highlight here dallas fuel
6551s	they don't have that nano blade that the
6553s	florida mayhem had they don't have that
6555s	big ultimate that's going to break open
6556s	this first point so they're going to
6558s	need to find other avenues through
6561s	we have sparkle behind them he needs to
6563s	start finding picks forcing the florida
6564s	mayhem to turn around that'll and get
6566s	allowed the dallas fuel to get in oh
6568s	yeah they know he's so close to pulse
6570s	though you still got to be careful oh
6572s	field off screen dies
6574s	to someone and then maybe a little
6576s	assist there from summer
6579s	well it could just be damaged to be very
6580s	so much
6582s	damage wizard
6585s	a little jostling on the payload taking
6587s	a lot of time to try and move it through
6588s	the car wash though two minutes to go
6590s	scott
6590s	two minutes it's so quickly what point
6593s	your ball to the first point time falls
6596s	away from you the florida mayhem they
6597s	haven't had to really use anything to
6599s	hold this as well they have the ultimate
6601s	in their arsenal the only thing i can
6603s	ask for is that they go first but dallas
6605s	fuel look like they're going first
6607s	oh
6608s	hytron
6610s	he's picking up some slack right now
6613s	killing sparkle like that look the the
6614s	dallas fuel don't want anything to do
6616s	with this fight
6619s	i don't want to keep beating this drum
6620s	but gurio needs to show something now
6623s	he's not even at his ultimate yet and
6625s	we're two and a half minutes into this
6626s	round needs to start getting aggressive
6628s	needs to start taking these doors
6630s	because they need to find an opening
6632s	okay nano boost
6633s	unlocked for fielder instantly using it
6635s	you see that
6636s	nice little grapple shot but fearless is
6638s	the one you want to look at ideally
6639s	animo falls oh nice little juggle trying
6642s	to get away from that sleep die oh so
6644s	much misses it now he's backed up into a
6646s	corner felix with a double kill onto the
6648s	supports and now he's in their spawn
6650s	hydra just waiting for it the bubble is
6652s	going to disappear in just a moment
6654s	should be out to get away he does but he
6655s	is on the spawn doors but he's causing
6657s	enough of a distraction scott the dallas
6659s	fuel might be able to do this bugs his
6661s	head on the venom mine and now someone's
6663s	opening this point up riley available
6665s	from the florida mayhem and with those
6667s	sights online the dallas fuel fighting
6669s	an upwards hill battle dallas still have
6671s	no ultimates left in this fight they use
6672s	them all to get in and now florida
6674s	mayhem's turn to go in someone's in with
6675s	the nano boost
6677s	gets pantied a rally in response but
6680s	it's not going to be enough that
6681s	overhealth wasn't building up fast
6683s	enough the dallas fuel need to either
6685s	reset now or try and find something in
6686s	this fight but with the rally committed
6688s	they might want to do
6690s	or at least find some kills okay choreo
6692s	now online but again they do this trade
6694s	scott not exactly where you want to be a
6697s	bit of over health will soon disappear
6698s	gurio in a lot of trouble there's no
6700s	supports inside field and pops his head
6702s	around the corner but not quite quick
6703s	enough
6703s	[Music]
6705s	11 seconds to go the dallas fuel
6708s	need to find something on this first
6710s	point sparkles stuck behind the florida
6712s	mayhem they're turning back for him he's
6713s	trying to punish but he's out no
6715s	nevermind he's out oh the friend of mine
6716s	picks him up checkmate with the pulse
6718s	spot he sticks fearless fearless goes
6720s	down and this is where florida mayhem
6722s	are making it their stand a nice little
6725s	counter bash there from arnold stops
6729s	the aggression from the fuel and the
6731s	florida mayhem will take a map
6735s	we said this was the win condition from
6737s	florida if they can get them onto their
6738s	dive composition they should be having
6741s	the advantage and they do
6743s	got to give credit to hydron very good
6745s	so far in that map on that widowmaker
6747s	getting the picks when they mattered
6749s	shutting down sparkle
6753s	that's just that i think that's just the
6755s	tale of watchpoint gibraltar you can
6756s	make it to first or make it a loss
6758s	that's about it second point rather
6760s	assailable
6762s	the florida mayhem want to start that
6764s	reverse sweep
6765s	we're going to go to push next it's
6767s	going to be up to the dallas fuel where
6769s	they want to go we're going to jump to a
6771s	break don't go anywhere you're not going
6773s	to want to miss it
6778s	[Music]
6781s	so

7014s	[Music]
7034s	the florida mayhem looking pretty tight
7035s	pretty coordinated and individually
7038s	talented as well they got me sweating
7041s	oh that was popular
7044s	[Music]
7051s	[Music]
7057s	easily goes down though xc at the back
7060s	nice little three-piece that's what we
7062s	wanted to see make that four
7064s	literally one feet gotta get the heels
7067s	oh they're so unique they're so creative
7070s	and the narratives have yet to be formed
7072s	see how aggressive the players of
7073s	florida are it always seems like
7074s	florida's starting the fight
7082s	welcome back the reverse sweep is
7084s	starting right now for the florida
7086s	mayhem or can dallas fuel just close it
7089s	out here is the fuels chance to choose a
7092s	map scott where are we going
7094s	we're heading over to colosseum not too
7096s	much of a surprise a map that we've seen
7098s	a lot of zaya from so far this season is
7101s	a map that they felt comfortable on i'm
7103s	curious to see if we're going to see the
7104s	hanzo coming up from edison with
7105s	something that we saw that that's a
7107s	hanzo standoff shooting down the
7108s	corridor on that first fight i wouldn't
7110s	be surprised to see that happen again
7111s	but if you're the dallas fuel you forget
7113s	that map you understand that is your
7115s	weakness go back to your comfort pick
7117s	you got harmon on that diet yeah harm
7119s	bit on the zarya and edison on the hands
7120s	though that was kind of funny that com
7122s	the competition i had two hanzos
7125s	i see you hello i don't know where you
7126s	are but i'm waving into the crowd
7131s	um yeah it was kind of funny watching
7132s	the two-handed compositions just kind of
7134s	look at each other and then just wait
7136s	and wait and wait okay now you got a
7138s	head shot okay now we go in but it's
7140s	good to see kind of grab dragons back at
7142s	it again but he's a very slow con when
7144s	it comes down to it so maybe
7146s	the mayhem want to switch something up
7149s	also put a fast one on him we saw
7150s	pelican go absolutely crazy on the hanzo
7154s	yesterday in the houston outlaws match
7155s	they could do that again so
7158s	i think if you're the florida mayhem
7160s	though you need to use that as
7161s	confidence because that's the one thing
7162s	i think they've severely been lacking in
7164s	this matchup someone i want to see him
7166s	play more aggressively now jack let me
7168s	pose you this question is there a world
7171s	in which you see some someone move over
7172s	to that zaya not comfortable with
7174s	everything that tried to throw at it do
7176s	you ever mirror it and feel comfortable
7178s	in your own play
7180s	ideally you want to feel comfortable in
7182s	whatever you're playing right that's
7183s	that's the obvious pr answer i think of
7185s	all of those but i mean i'd just rather
7187s	go what you're kind of strong with if
7189s	they can run this like heavy rush
7192s	if the dallas you want to play the
7193s	slower game with the hanzo sitting all
7195s	the way the back waiting for the pigs if
7196s	you just kind of run of them just mess
7198s	up that tempo a little bit could be the
7200s	kryptonite
7201s	in theory it works and we saw the
7202s	gladiators do that against the dallas
7204s	fuel yesterday but my my fear is that it
7206s	just did not work we saw them do it on
7208s	li jiang tower and that map was not
7210s	close at all so if that's not
7212s	comfortable i definitely don't want to
7213s	see them move towards anything massively
7215s	different but something has to change
7217s	because right now
7218s	they've got their back against the wall
7220s	against the ropes
7221s	and they could be going home remember
7223s	this is an elimination match in the
7226s	lower bracket
7229s	and the dallas fuel do not want to go
7230s	out
7232s	in front of their home crowd that is for
7233s	sure so they want to end it right here
7234s	right now no more questions
7237s	about how they can play that zarya com
7239s	no more questions about how
7241s	they got to the lower back to begin with
7243s	just like oh we won't play screams
7245s	more games more fun more games just get
7247s	some warm up break up that rust get get
7248s	rid of that land jitters i can see
7250s	dallas fuel doing that come back in the
7252s	grand finals against the gladiators you
7253s	never know yeah it's a great story it is
7256s	well they stick to it
7257s	[Applause]
7262s	coliseum could be our final map here we
7264s	go i want to see what they're running
7266s	will someone go on the hyper aggressive
7268s	winston or the uh or the rhine not the
7270s	ball there's no way there's no shot
7273s	wait we saw we saw him last night we
7275s	actually saw it i believe it was the
7277s	hunger spark i think it was you pulled
7278s	it out uh palestinian fellow oh no it
7281s	was
7283s	did not work at all so would not
7285s	recommend but there we see their choice
7287s	they're going to come out on the rush
7289s	let's hope that with a little bit of
7290s	time a little bit of break to talk to
7292s	the coaches they can have some more
7293s	confidence and play faster because that
7295s	was my issue with it last time we saw it
7297s	just too slow they're just allowing
7299s	hanbon to get energy and allow them to
7301s	choose the tempo edison's on this hanzo
7304s	now as well so you're going to want to
7305s	go really fast otherwise there's too
7307s	much damage
7308s	there is look at that already trying to
7309s	separate honda with at the wall if
7311s	edison randomly gets a head shot here on
7313s	the oh well hydra on way too far in
7318s	way too far
7319s	seems like maybe a bit of a missed call
7321s	or he found himself overstepping just a
7323s	slight bit of the mayhem
7326s	you see that like a springboard the fuel
7329s	take it in and then pump out the damage
7332s	they take control of the pot and get it
7333s	moving it needs to be on checkmate with
7335s	these maywalls to isolate hanbin i don't
7338s	know what hydra was doing going that
7339s	aggressive on the soldier just gets
7341s	punished instantly but now they have
7343s	this defensive high ground that they can
7344s	play on to keep their back line alive
7347s	but someone's going fast and they don't
7348s	want to use the high round they just
7349s	want to go and i like this look it just
7352s	needs to be more coordinated
7354s	there's so many ways you can hide around
7356s	these pillows too
7357s	so you can kind of weigh reset that
7359s	shield wait for the speed boost to come
7360s	back up there's the wall nice little
7363s	boop on to hanbin to try and force him
7365s	into the aoe hammer of the rhine but
7367s	look at this already a massive made
7369s	immortality field actually forced edison
7371s	takes care of it and hanbin just running
7373s	through the window
7375s	and
7375s	florida mayhem they thought they had the
7378s	dallas view on the ropes there
7379s	separating honduran from the team but a
7382s	team kill for the fuel and they get the
7384s	robot moving again i mean found a gap in
7386s	the fence and then the florida mayhem
7388s	just had no no purchase nothing to go
7390s	with now we have the patented graviton
7393s	surge and dragon strike from the dallas
7395s	fuel they're gonna try and get towards
7396s	that one
7398s	but they're gonna play under the bridge
7399s	but the dallas fuel taken the high
7400s	ground they want to take this high
7402s	ground fight as someone starts engaging
7404s	there's the visor from the side sparkle
7406s	and shield not quite so lucky okay
7409s	the dallas will take the high ground but
7411s	hydra on just a quick
7413s	left flank
7414s	and there's no shields really for the
7416s	fuel i mean they can hide behind harm
7418s	it's bubbles but they ain't gonna
7419s	survive for too long but the problem is
7420s	right now for the fuel they've got grav
7422s	dragons to mess with next fortunately
7424s	though if you're a mayhem fan checkmate
7426s	does have that may ultimate the blizzard
7429s	last time we saw han bin graviton surge
7431s	checkmate actually put it at their feet
7433s	not allowing anyone from the dallas fuel
7435s	to walk up and get close to the graviton
7436s	surge look at he's just walking straight
7438s	back he wants to find somebody he can't
7440s	really find much okay too there we go
7442s	blizzard not useless yet but the dragons
7444s	are immortality field has been killed
7446s	but the beat from the mayhem
7448s	they're gonna survive the initial
7450s	engagement and the shutter from someone
7452s	the blizzard on top they're all ice
7454s	cream cones now the dallas fuel frozen
7457s	today
7458s	and the robot
7460s	is taking control the mayhem are in
7461s	control of the robot now they get it
7463s	moving they might be able to catch the
7465s	lead here too they're playing so far up
7467s	to the spawn much better play by the
7469s	florida mayhem choosing their
7470s	engagements we see the switches come out
7472s	from the dallas fuel sparkle onto the
7474s	genji edison onto that reaper will give
7476s	them a lot more aggression and being
7478s	able to spread the florida mayhem around
7479s	they've got the amplification matrix
7481s	they haven't found anything oh
7482s	everybody's hiding in that back room
7483s	there's a health pack in there so they
7485s	might be okay even without healers for
7486s	the time but all the meanwhile animo is
7489s	pushing the robot forward is finally
7492s	getting contested this dallas people try
7493s	and make their move and now they want to
7495s	edison nimoti field disintegrating and
7497s	so is the rest of the team if they're
7498s	not careful a good sleepover someone
7501s	laying on his back now laying in the
7502s	sport edison pushing on another kill
7505s	shed falls and the dallas fuel making
7507s	their stand just before the florida
7509s	mayhem could take the lead
7511s	great reaction by dallas fuel against
7513s	that amplification matrix they hired
7515s	from it and then with the aggression
7517s	from florida trying to get value out of
7518s	it they spring backwards run over them
7521s	with the nano booth onto edison
7523s	dallas fuel not many ultimates left in
7525s	the tank though sparkle is getting this
7527s	blade exceptionally quick but hydro with
7529s	another visor we saw him close out the
7531s	fight with it last time
7533s	right to the hydra there's no window to
7535s	go behind but look at that the dallas
7536s	fuel responding kind of going straight
7537s	to the back line already sir machete
7540s	cut in half the dallas fuel trying to do
7542s	more but a very quick response from
7544s	someone there nobody sparkle was low in
7546s	the back line put his shield up so he
7547s	couldn't get healed and now the florida
7549s	mayhem trying to clean up the stragglers
7551s	hump into with no bubbles left but all
7553s	that means well by the way look at that
7554s	someone's moving the payload
7557s	okay you don't want to let fielder run
7558s	away with this one they get a quite a
7560s	distance that was like a good 10 meters
7562s	or so that might seem like nothing but
7564s	that was a very important play by field
7565s	of recognizing that the fight was lost
7568s	and just getting that extra play that's
7569s	13 meters extra the florida mayhem must
7572s	push it if they want to get the
7573s	advantage in this match and we also have
7575s	the graviton surge and the blade coming
7577s	in from sparkle wealth of ultimates to
7579s	deal with it someone's gonna have to
7580s	drop this hammer and drop the dallas
7582s	fuel i don't think they know edison is
7583s	behind them right now either there's the
7585s	blade b can be used nice pin long pin
7588s	two the bubble disappeared before
7590s	sparkle impacted the wall and now
7592s	someone setting up for a shatter he does
7594s	get grabbed he shatters the front line
7596s	of the dallas fuel with ardemo with two
7598s	kills
7600s	he was in the ground but it didn't
7601s	matter he's there stationary all he
7603s	wants was just shooting is like a small
7605s	turret the florida may have now getting
7607s	the payload going again the fuel i
7609s	didn't maybe they touched just before
7611s	they take the lead but it's looking
7612s	quite unlikely someone coming up
7614s	enormous
7616s	shutting down that blade and then
7617s	getting the shadow onto anderson they
7618s	don't want to let the dallas who get
7619s	close to them as well they want to get
7620s	this checkpoint done they've nano
7622s	sparkle into the backline yeah they had
7623s	to do it before that payload actually
7625s	got that checkpoint it was only a couple
7627s	of meters away or what i think it was
7628s	point a couple of meters away but
7630s	checkmate on the side the dallas fuel
7631s	their attention was turned to that
7633s	payload and fielder ends up dying he's
7635s	popped into the iceman but edison once
7636s	again how does he find value like this
7639s	with no support to back him up a death
7642s	possum from above takes care of the immo
7644s	field
7645s	and the rest of the team the dallas fuel
7647s	still fighting on the point but it is
7649s	only arnimo
7650s	the pesky lucio they flick him away and
7653s	the fuel once again regain control of
7655s	the bot one meter separates them now and
7657s	that we go back to when fielder was on
7659s	that cut that's the only reason they are
7661s	still in the lead right now and the time
7663s	is ticking down less than two minutes
7665s	remaining and dallas fuel is pushing it
7667s	back towards the mayhem but they're out
7668s	of ultimates and hydro once again with
7670s	the visor how are they going to change
7672s	things up because as last time dusty
7673s	went through a grinder by advisor has
7675s	been used already sitting in the
7676s	immortality field and the healing
7678s	station he does manage to escort himself
7681s	away pops his little head out takes care
7683s	of it who is low the payload is still
7685s	moving a couple of meters to go
7687s	to again the checkpoint he can't quite
7689s	get it someone takes care of him
7691s	the dallas fuel still
7693s	with a little bit of time left to defend
7695s	remember they are in the lead
7697s	it might just come down to overtime here
7700s	the florida mayhem they have a lot of
7701s	holes coming online though scott deja vu
7703s	again we're taking the exact same fight
7705s	just two minutes later han bin with the
7707s	graviton surge sparkle with the blade
7709s	someone with the shadow they're gonna
7710s	have to come up big again someone made
7712s	magic last time he needs to do it
7713s	sparkle's already in he's already popped
7715s	the blade the beat has been used to stop
7717s	that damage but sparkle gets away with
7718s	his scot-free a beautiful ultimate from
7721s	sparkle forcing out that beat from the
7723s	mayhem now they can't use it for the
7724s	graviton surge edison on the sidelines
7727s	he's ready to jump on it when hartman's
7729s	ready to but fielder somehow from the
7731s	side takes care of hydra there's 30
7733s	seconds to go the shot has been laid
7735s	down but everybody from the fuel
7736s	scatters and now the grav is online
7740s	hanbin looking to set up they might just
7742s	pull the trigger here they do but an
7743s	unreal wall from checkmate denies it and
7746s	a hedgehog to sparkle as well but mayhem
7749s	they're coming back they want revenge
7751s	the blizzard is good separates harpin
7754s	and the rest of them from their souls
7756s	the dallas fuel lose control of the bot
7758s	in the last few seconds checkmate
7761s	absolutely incredible on three different
7763s	place drops the wall so that han bin's
7764s	graviton surge hits it and that shuts
7767s	down everything and they're able to
7768s	bounce back now florida mayhem they only
7770s	need to make it four more meters to get
7772s	the lead
7773s	there's a beat for the fuel they got a
7774s	nano and edison's coming out the death
7776s	bottom his history repeats itself the
7778s	dallas fuel should be good now onto any
7782s	death blossom in the back surma jet runs
7784s	away they just hold this there's no
7786s	immortality field but there might not be
7788s	much edison left
7789s	that mayhem are coming back they managed
7791s	to just hold on their supports for the
7794s	dallas fuel making sure they're ripping
7796s	their charge as a way of coming back in
7798s	this series over time taken down the
7800s	dallas fuel have done it they eliminate
7803s	the mayhem
7805s	3-1
7806s	in front of their home crowd
7812s	the florida mayhem made good adjustments
7815s	to catch up to the dallas fuel but it
7817s	just wasn't enough dallas fuel showing
7820s	expert composure like they do time and
7822s	time again able to hold on at the last
7824s	second
7826s	great job by the mayhem to disengage
7827s	from that edison death blossom but it
7829s	just wasn't enough the damage was done
7831s	so majed was isolated and the dallas
7833s	fuel take the match
7835s	[Applause]
7838s	the rank 2c coming into the kickoff
7839s	clash they got knocked down to the lower
7841s	brackets
7843s	quite early people didn't expect them to
7845s	be in this position scott
7848s	but it doesn't matter anymore they are
7849s	moving on to a match later on today
7855s	it's got to feel good big big confidence
7857s	booster
7859s	i know that comp so so well and it's
7861s	paying off
7863s	now you're waiting to see who you're
7865s	going to play next the houston outlaws
7867s	or the san francisco shock there's
7869s	rivalries in both of those matches
7871s	they've already lost in texas to the
7873s	houston outlaws and the san francisco
7875s	shock
7876s	only just recently dropped their first
7878s	match it's going to be a banger no
7879s	matter who we come up to but
7881s	florida mayhem their kickoff clash ends
7883s	here they've had a great performance
7885s	they got the number four seed against
7887s	all expectations they had a great match
7889s	they pushed dallas fuel to the edge in
7891s	this match as well
7892s	you gotta go home happy if you're them
7897s	few things to work on especially with
7899s	the dive but you can definitely hold
7900s	your heads high and they're warmed up
7902s	today too i think that's one of the most
7903s	important things to think about they're
7904s	ready to rock and roll
7910s	that has to be the weakness the achilles
7912s	heel of the dallas fuel right now
7913s	something they need to solve if they can
7916s	for their match coming up later today
7917s	because their dive is their weakness i
7920s	don't believe they've won a single dive
7921s	map so far actually maybe in their first
7923s	series
7924s	but
7925s	it needs to be better because they can't
7926s	keep dropping these maps because
7929s	better teams will punish them the
7930s	gladiators did punish them
7932s	they need to catch up
7935s	just rinse repeat that's what they've
7937s	got to think
7938s	rinse repeat
7940s	looks like we got an interview down on
7941s	the stage with danny we got the big man
7944s	edison on the stage
7946s	johnson costa thank you very much what
7948s	is up everybody i'm here with edison
7950s	from dallas fuel everybody make some
7952s	noise
7956s	that was
7957s	that was a close call that was a close
7958s	match uh you know although you guys did
7960s	get the dub today i i do feel like you
7963s	know florida mayhem did put up a good
7965s	fight was there anything about florida
7967s	mayhem
7986s	[Music]
7998s	i mean going into today's mess i did i
8000s	did think that the ryan rush comp from
8002s	the florida mayhem was uh something to
8004s	look out for and i was a little bit
8006s	about that rush compa i mean it wasn't
8008s	as difficult as i thought it would be
8011s	yeah and you're totally right because
8013s	you guys did get the win
8016s	also i mean dallas fuel i think if we
8019s	think about dallas fuel right now i
8020s	think the first thing that pops into my
8022s	head is your zarya reaper composition
8024s	you and hanbin's just that teamwork is
8027s	just immaculate i'm just out of
8029s	curiosity do you guys do any like
8031s	special training between the two do you
8033s	guys do anything special
8068s	unfortunately there's no special
8070s	training that we do between me and
8071s	hampden but we do communicate a lot more
8074s	than usual when we do use the zarya
8076s	reaper composition and we sort of try to
8079s	look out for one another and i think
8081s	that's where the teamwork comes in from
8082s	all right last question
8085s	you guys will you guys actually have
8086s	another match coming up later tonight
8088s	and it's gonna be uh either you're gonna
8090s	you guys are going to be up against san
8092s	francisco shock or houston outlaws and i
8094s	just want to get your opinion edison who
8096s	do you want to play next time
8111s	doesn't really matter shock houston i
8113s	don't really care i'm pretty sure we're
8114s	going to win so i don't care
8118s	my man everybody give it up for edison
8120s	thank you so much that is all i have
8121s	down here costa josh take it away
8126s	he doesn't care doesn't get does not
8128s	care who he faces
8131s	he's going to beat them to a pulp
8132s	regardless he seems mad and deservedly
8135s	sorry took that loss to the guys
8137s	yesterday the dallas fuel bounced back
8139s	and edison just pulling on an absolute
8141s	show today on that reaper proving why he
8143s	is the best reaper we have in the game
8144s	right now yeah they're just disgusting
8146s	multi kills and um
8149s	i wonder who player are the matches can
8150s	anybody make a guess
8152s	of course might be edison just maybe of
8155s	course it is player of the match is
8156s	going to be edison
8158s	i mean
8159s	that to start off the series you cannot
8163s	ask more
8164s	from uh from edison if you're a fuel fan
8167s	he just seems to get so much value from
8169s	the death blossom so often and it's
8171s	actually such a difficult ultimate to
8173s	use when you're in a meta where you have
8174s	an anna who has asleep a lucio has a
8176s	death blossom he just finds his windows
8178s	perfectly and the entirety of the dallas
8181s	you'll play around it harmon's bubbles
8183s	always on point but just the numbers
8185s	speak for themselves only 2.8 deaths per
8187s	10 minutes and then everything on top of
8189s	that 2.4 death blossom efficiency every
8191s	death blossom he gets more than two
8194s	kills on average that is absolutely
8196s	bonkers no one is even close to matching
8198s	that right now absolutely ridiculous
8200s	performance and the dallas fuel are
8202s	going to need him to keep this up
8204s	death boston kills per 10 as well
8206s	looking at almost seven like that's
8208s	insane and look at compare that to the
8209s	final blows per 10 like that's it's
8212s	ridiculous ridiculous amount of damage
8215s	right
8217s	i think i'm warmed up yeah feeling good
8219s	i think edison's wound up too jesus
8221s	remember they do face the
8223s	winner of the next match the houston
8226s	outlaws versus the san francisco shock
8228s	scott it's going to be a close one as i
8230s	said he's got a grudge match no matter
8231s	who he's going up against and i don't
8233s	even think him or the entirety of the
8234s	dallas you'll care they're going for the
8236s	win they're not trying to make it far
8238s	they're not trying to just you know get
8239s	a couple more wins they want to win the
8241s	entirety of the thing it doesn't matter
8243s	who they have to play uh beat they'll
8244s	beat everyone i think they want to face
8246s	the outlaws to get revenge probably i
8248s	think i think outlaws defeated them 3-0
8250s	last time they were on land so we'll
8252s	have to wait and see who wins that match
8253s	that's going to be up next don't go
8255s	anywhere
8256s	san francisco shock outlaws coming up
8258s	next
8262s	the own watching is brought to you by
8264s	upper deck the official trading card of

8418s	hmm
8421s	[Music]
8440s	[Music]
8457s	hello and welcome to our first game
8460s	break today it is day number three in a
8462s	kickoff clash is over here joined by
8464s	reinforce as well as necro which is
8466s	coming in remotely to break down all the
8470s	actions so
8471s	talking about the game we just got to
8473s	see i mean dallas fuel they came out
8476s	strong out of the gate the mayhem looked
8480s	baffled taken aback in that very first
8482s	round however they seemed to warm up
8484s	later on and a reinforce you said that
8487s	may have been on coliseum
8489s	one of the best if not the best losing
8491s	performances you've ever seen in the
8492s	overwatch league yeah i mean okay it got
8495s	pretty close but i think what was so
8497s	mesmerizing by the florida mayhem was
8499s	the amount of hero plays that just like
8501s	came through in that final map like they
8503s	really wanted to win that map and not to
8506s	take any anything away from the dallas
8507s	fuel
8508s	like we'll see the highlights later on
8510s	but someone's pinned onto a blading
8512s	genji
8514s	checkmates maywall to block a graviton
8516s	surge i think that was a really
8517s	impressive map but it started out this
8519s	series with florida i'm looking a bit
8521s	weak they brought out this rhino
8522s	composition maybe thinking that they
8524s	could replicate la glari's success on
8527s	this map just yesterday against the
8528s	dallas fuel and as we headed towards
8530s	midtown florida mayhem trying to do the
8532s	old faithful putting hydrant on the
8534s	soldier 76 and providing some nanos to
8537s	him so he can maybe get the team going
8539s	but it felt that nick are like dallas
8541s	fuel they were just on top of their game
8543s	throughout and just were very reliant on
8545s	humbling sorry i play
8553s	background
8556s	oh
8557s	sorry hi
8558s	yeah i would love to talk a little bit
8560s	more about this match here i'm sorry
8562s	my bad
8564s	no no all good my bad i was like oh i
8566s	guess i'll yeah i'll talk about this a
8568s	little bit um i think the big point that
8569s	i want to point out here is that you
8571s	know i think the dive still looked a
8572s	little bit weak for the dallas fuel i
8575s	mean obviously florida mayhem has a lot
8577s	of comfortability on this particular
8579s	composition and so that was very obvious
8581s	to see florida mayhem get the win on
8582s	gibraltar but it really was about the
8585s	edison for me the edison reaper for the
8588s	dallas fuel was just absolutely amazing
8590s	i mean we've got to watch some of these
8592s	coliseum highlights though because
8594s	you're right reinforced florida mayhem
8596s	put up a fantastic fight and they
8599s	definitely didn't go down without one
8601s	but it definitely was about reaper it
8604s	was all about the reaper for me edison
8606s	has been performing on this hero really
8608s	really well but when you take a look at
8610s	his performance today versus his overall
8613s	performance for the season so far it's
8615s	pretty clear that he popped
8618s	the
8619s	heck off i mean i mean look at that
8623s	that's nuts
8624s	that's crazy
8626s	feels good when you can defeat yourself
8628s	that's that's gross everyone that's what
8630s	you're seeing on your screens right now
8631s	yeah
8632s	edison
8633s	absolute absolute scary to go up against
8636s	him and of course the team are looking
8638s	so so very strong on that zarya
8639s	composition that just seems to be their
8642s	bread and butter right now and
8644s	if you're any other team you want to
8646s	force them off of that comfortable
8648s	kind of composition right and that is
8649s	what the mayhem tried to do and
8651s	succeeded at least on gibraltar uh where
8654s	we finally got to see that widow duel we
8656s	were talking about heading into that one
8658s	so that was that was the sight for sora
8660s	now unfortunately mayhem is out but they
8663s	should be proud of how far they took it
8665s	and how well they looked as they played
8668s	their last match on stage can't wait to
8669s	see more for the mayhem heading into the
8672s	rest of the season now dallas they're
8674s	still in it to win it but with their
8676s	next match everything will be on the
8678s	line still now they are waiting for
8680s	their opponent and that will be either
8681s	the san francisco shock or the houston
8684s	outlaws and that is our next match of
8686s	the day another elimination match
8688s	houston coming in of course with a home
8690s	crowd buff how much is that going to
8692s	help them though necro
8695s	i think that could actually help them a
8697s	lot i mean houston outlaws they were
8698s	able to win on their very first lan of
8701s	the season and we know how rowdy those
8704s	texas fans can get we love you guys um
8707s	but i think the big thing here is
8709s	actually that because if houston outlaws
8711s	can keep up this aggressive pressure
8713s	they were able to put on yesterday with
8715s	the moira and the doomfist we saw
8719s	how san francisco kind of topple over to
8721s	a play style like that from the atlanta
8723s	reign and so can they actually bounce
8725s	back that's what i've got my eyes on
8727s	moving into the series
8730s	did you see that she uh
8732s	she said she loves the houston outdoors
8734s	fans
8735s	and yet only the two of us were the ones
8737s	to predict in our outdoors what's going
8739s	on with that nicole why didn't you
8740s	predict the outlaws then hey you love
8742s	them so much come on okay hold on well
8744s	you know what because i i just
8747s	they've let me down already okay and my
8749s	predictions have been wrong about them
8751s	that sounds like an outlaws panel right
8755s	yeah so
8756s	there you go
8760s	i i i feel with you like it was it was a
8762s	tough one to predict but honestly if i'm
8765s	only basing my predictions on the
8767s	performances from both of those teams
8769s	which we saw so far in the kickoff clash
8771s	only in the kickoff clash
8773s	houston should be winning this
8775s	yeah i mean
8778s	they were strong and they were flexible
8780s	as well and they showed us more
8781s	versatility uh than they have ever
8784s	before so
8785s	i got yeah i mean
8787s	they've looked
8788s	i was gonna say shocky but that would
8790s	have been too far it's shaking it's so
8792s	far
8793s	you know questionable performances um
8795s	against both washington justice dropping
8798s	two maps right and then losing to the
8800s	atlanta reign as well winner goes on to
8802s	play the dallas fuel if you come out of
8804s	this matchup if you're the shock like
8805s	you gotta be on top of your a game i
8807s	mean you're in the lumination match
8808s	already um and you need the entire team
8811s	to step up it can't always just be
8813s	proper on this tracer right especially
8815s	if you even advance in this series and
8816s	go on to face someone like the dallas
8818s	fuel you would have to have the entire
8820s	team like kilo we talked about him quite
8822s	a lot about the soldier and the way to
8824s	make your play from him finn on the ana
8825s	for example so this is a shock squad
8828s	that is capable of more um and if you
8830s	want to win this tournament they'll have
8831s	to step it up pretty massively in my
8832s	opinion yeah i mean houston has the
8834s	added uh
8836s	how do you say that
8837s	what's the word the english word masking
8839s	the other foreigner and the boss that's
8841s	great uh the motivation that's the word
8844s	i was looking for they got the added
8845s	motivation
8846s	wanting to have another
8848s	battle of texas or for texas i don't
8850s	know but there's a battle and it's
8852s	happening in texas against the dallas
8854s	fuel in the next round uh what a banger
8856s	of that match that will be and at least
8857s	one of the team wants the revenge so
8860s	that would be such a fun one uh what a
8862s	treat that will be for us but for that
8864s	the shop needs to lose this game and i'm
8866s	pretty sure they got other plans now we
8869s	are ready to get things started for now
8871s	we're gonna head into a very quick break
8873s	and then we're heading back to texas
8875s	[Music]
8896s	[Music]
8908s	[Music]
8948s	[Music]
8963s	[Laughter]
8969s	[Music]
8984s	so
8985s	[Music]
9019s	[Music]
9031s	[Music]
9062s	one team already knocked out
9064s	another one to follow in just a moment
9067s	got another texan team the houston
9069s	outlaws and the san francisco shock
9071s	coming up next
9073s	this is going to be a banger of a match
9074s	the san francisco shark having a
9076s	dominant kickoff clash but faltering so
9079s	far in the playoffs they have not looked
9081s	clean almost taking a loss to the
9082s	washington justice and then falling to
9084s	the atlanta reign yesterday
9087s	not the san francisco shock we've fallen
9089s	in love with and on the other side
9090s	houston outlaws
9092s	has been an inconsistent team so far
9094s	throughout the season mainly on the back
9095s	of that dante doomfist it either works
9097s	or it really doesn't yeah and again
9099s	another team that you can kind of
9101s	telegraph in a way if they're having
9102s	dante coming in and in fact we were
9103s	speaking this morning we're saying how
9105s	good dante is in the doom he's extremely
9108s	consistent with getting the power-up
9110s	punch hitting people into a wall and
9112s	then finishing up with a double left
9114s	click and killing the supports and
9116s	that's obviously how you want to start a
9117s	team fight right taking out the honor of
9119s	the lucio and the consistency is crazy
9121s	but sometimes there's just not much
9123s	backup there for him
9125s	he's seen all these clips he gets the
9127s	kills but they end up losing the fight
9129s	well you never see the the clips of
9130s	dante just falling over and that is the
9132s	issue for the houston outlaws when they
9134s	have him on that hero if he is enabled
9136s	to stay alive being able to get into the
9138s	back line being a nuisance the houston
9139s	outlaws look great but anytime a team
9141s	has shown an ability to shut him down
9144s	either through sleeps or just biotic
9146s	nades or just converging on him it looks
9148s	really ugly so jake lied to me about the
9151s	secret sauce yeah unless the secret
9153s	sauce was the moira reaper with the doom
9155s	fist which doesn't really feel saucy
9157s	enough for my liking yeah maybe we
9159s	should have a little word with him we
9160s	should i don't know let's bring him out
9162s	though please put your hands together
9164s	for the houston outlaws
9167s	[Applause]
9177s	the player coming out first that's
9180s	what you've got to keep your eyes on
9182s	pelican
9183s	just god gamer in the flesh he's been
9185s	exceptional this season and i think a
9188s	big boom for uh the outlaws as a whole
9191s	in 2022 there was a massive signing
9194s	everybody was so hyped for the outlaws
9195s	when pelican came first anyone who signs
9197s	the rookie of the year of the previous
9199s	year is obviously going to get an
9201s	upgrade and pelican making magic happen
9203s	yesterday on the hanzo on coliseum i
9206s	don't know how many kills he got i'm
9208s	just going to make up a number 37 he got
9209s	37 kills at the end of that colosseum
9212s	and was just putting out a ton of work
9214s	throughout the entirety of the series
9216s	but you need to keep that in mind
9218s	the houston outlaws they were on the
9219s	roofs they were in trouble in that map
9221s	and potentially the series if they
9223s	didn't get that close out so they need
9225s	to be cleaner and they need to play
9226s	better fundamentally as a team if
9228s	they're going to take down the team of
9229s	the caliber of the san francisco shock
9232s	yeah dante is going to be starting so we
9233s	know it's going to be a little bit of a
9234s	doom fist
9236s	what do you want for the outlaws win
9238s	allah's win that'd be a nice birthday
9240s	present for him it would be it would be
9242s	but they are going up against the number
9243s	one seed i'd be pretty scared if i were
9246s	them right now but
9248s	two-time champs they're here for a very
9251s	good reason they want to continue that
9252s	legacy that they've built up please
9255s	welcome the san francisco shock
9259s	[Applause]
9266s	what's up
9269s	another team that has picked up
9271s	some crazy rookies
9274s	proper
9275s	already in a lot of people's minds is
9277s	the rookie of the year
9280s	he put on some of those performances
9281s	against the washington justice he was
9283s	the catalyst that led to that reverse
9285s	swoop against the washington justice but
9288s	that is my point for the shock right now
9290s	they need to come out quick out of the
9291s	gates because so far they have lost the
9293s	first two maps of both series that
9296s	they've played in the playoffs they need
9298s	to be able to start strong and it does
9300s	begin with proper he went a miss in
9302s	yesterday's match we have him as slated
9305s	as the mvp so far in the league but he
9308s	didn't really have that performance
9309s	yesterday and it needs to go to everyone
9311s	else as well violet on that lucio had a
9314s	brutal first map in a brutal series
9316s	overall a hero he's not that comfortable
9319s	on and hasn't put that much time into
9321s	but he has been fined so far throughout
9323s	the season yeah compared to a lot of
9324s	lucio players that we have in the league
9326s	switching over to that role you need
9327s	that lucio for so well every comp pretty
9330s	much
9331s	unless you're running the brick
9333s	collusion starting lineup as well
9336s	i have a question do you think there
9338s	would be a chance that we'd see the
9339s	doomfist from colluge to match dante
9342s	he's shown a willingness to play it in
9343s	the past definitely more comfortable on
9345s	that winston but we know he's an eight
9347s	foot seven gaming warlord who can play
9349s	anything and has the confidence to play
9351s	anything if anyone's gonna match dante
9353s	it's probably him
9356s	while it's advised kelly's heel is that
9357s	doomfist that's all i'm saying yeah got
9359s	a couple of beats interrupted the other
9361s	day and it was at the hands of the
9362s	doomfist same with finn uh our pick that
9364s	the san francisco shock have been moving
9366s	more towards is the moira and the moyer
9368s	is very susceptible to the doom fist
9370s	because that punch can cancel that
9372s	ultimate a very crucial ultimate in the
9374s	composition i'm curious to see if the
9376s	san francisco shock knowing that the
9378s	houston outlaws are going to play more
9379s	doomfist if they're going to rely on the
9381s	anna helios our first map
9386s	another team's going to get eliminated
9387s	here
9388s	and the winner will face of course
9391s	the dallas fuel a little bit later will
9393s	it be bad for texas once again
9395s	or will the shot the number two seed
9397s	face number second seed in the dallas
9399s	fuel
9400s	time will tell
9402s	as we jump on to our first round
9405s	and we're heading over
9407s	to lighthouse this is a map that it has
9409s	been quite strange because some teams
9410s	have preferred to play the echo we've
9412s	had some teams who have liked to play
9414s	the doomfist prefer to play the winston
9416s	we've seen a lot of different looks
9417s	right now it looks like san francisco
9419s	shocker going to the standard winston
9421s	soldier with the ana composition while
9424s	the houston outlaws and this is a trick
9425s	that they've been playing so far in the
9427s	playoffs they put iris on this moira and
9430s	merit on the reaper what this allows
9432s	them to do is just play incredibly fast
9434s	because in this composition of the
9435s	houston outlaws pelican will move over
9437s	to the tracer
9438s	who do you target who do you focus down
9440s	everyone is so survivable so it makes it
9442s	hard for the san francisco shock to find
9444s	a target i just got to follow up on
9446s	those nades finn
9447s	has to hit some crazy biomass
9450s	force iris to use that uh iris to use
9453s	the the fade
9455s	hopefully take care of the moire you
9456s	don't want them building up their
9457s	coalescence first that's for sure how
9459s	are the houston outlaws going to get on
9461s	this high ground you can see finn and
9463s	kilo standing proudly on the high ground
9465s	going to be shooting down having the
9466s	time dante can get up there but the rest
9468s	of the team might struggle
9471s	they can use the size of slams to get on
9472s	top of course point unlocks the albums
9475s	just rush to it yeah they want to avoid
9476s	the high ground and the spam as much as
9478s	possible the point's gonna get taken san
9480s	francisco shot let him get it for free
9482s	now comes the counter attack though
9484s	robert already fifty percent towards
9485s	that pulse bomb he has been farming
9487s	right now dante is auntie and he should
9489s	be yeah
9491s	this looks to be the outlaw strategy but
9493s	pelicans getting rushed down by proper
9495s	putting on great form but killer goes
9496s	down how does that end up happening a
9498s	soldier versus the lucio nice little
9500s	boot kill but finally gets a little bit
9501s	of revenge good sleep onto dante to stop
9503s	the aggression but the san francisco
9504s	shot looning at losing a main damage
9506s	dealer is a bit of a problem but the
9508s	outlaws losing a healer uh it's even
9510s	more so look at this san francisco shot
9512s	running forwards nice pulse bomb but
9513s	merrick getting away with his life
9515s	pelican ends up falling over
9517s	proper pulse finn nano points
9520s	swarmed by the shock pulse bomb went a
9522s	little bit wide but dante's still going
9524s	low and he's antiqued perfect follow-up
9527s	from finn's bio grenade last round to
9529s	back off too he was also pumped
9531s	they need to fix this issue of iris
9533s	dying first he is the moira he needs to
9535s	find a way to stay alive he is the
9537s	primary source of healing if he dies the
9540s	rest of the houston outlaws will shortly
9541s	follow they're going to play a unit
9543s	they're going to rush to the point again
9544s	leaving finn and killer on the high
9546s	ground but the nada comes out of
9547s	collusion
9548s	this is exactly where he wants the
9550s	outlaws all on that point so we can earn
9552s	that primal in a blink of an eye nice
9554s	response though from the outlaws they do
9556s	end up using the beat but goes down to
9557s	kilo
9558s	iris fade force late beat for the shock
9562s	as they now
9563s	make the execution
9565s	here is in a whole lot of trouble like i
9567s	said as soon as you burn that fade scott
9568s	it's basically all over and a
9570s	fantastically timed beat there from
9572s	violet at the very end of the team fight
9575s	so outlaws they have nothing left in the
9577s	tank as much as the houston outlaws are
9579s	getting to point and forcing it a little
9581s	bit if they don't deal with this threat
9582s	from kilo and finn on the high ground
9584s	they are going to slowly bleed out it's
9586s	going to be hard for them to win the
9588s	overall team fight and you can see the
9590s	san francisco shock already ticking up
9591s	fifty percent who's got the primary
9593s	gonna be here is already the faders have
9595s	been forced and astro's on his own can't
9596s	support his moira
9598s	iris luckily has the coalescence and he
9600s	unleashes it but hilo's tactical visor
9602s	is gonna keep darius in check he picks
9604s	the wrong angle trying to heal the rest
9605s	of his team dante putting up that power
9607s	block to stop the damage coming through
9608s	but it doesn't matter as soon as that
9610s	fades away
9611s	so does your life the outlaws do end up
9613s	capping stopping a couple of percentage
9615s	points for the shot instantly recap and
9617s	that's going to be the theme if they
9618s	keep trying to do this they now have the
9620s	merit death blossom he can make magic
9622s	work if he engages with dante if he can
9624s	get onto the high ground maybe punish
9626s	kilo and the ana on the high ground
9631s	goes a little wide yeah shocker out of
9633s	tools though they have nothing left in
9634s	their arsenal houston outlaws this
9636s	should be their fight to take well
9637s	they've got to do something they've got
9639s	to get on the point they do just that
9640s	one flip another free flip
9644s	okay
9645s	now murray taking the high ground you've
9646s	got to be careful if you below them
9648s	there's one american there's another one
9650s	dante following up on the kill to fit
9652s	proper kills pelican in the back line
9654s	but it don't matter
9656s	shock already dead
9657s	shark may be playing a little bit too
9658s	slow giving up the point early gives
9661s	the houston outlaws another 15
9663s	charge towards the 100
9665s	we're going into final fight territory
9667s	now the san francisco shock they're
9669s	slowly just bleeding out this percentage
9671s	and now the houston outlaws almost about
9673s	to take charge of this round
9676s	shock at least have this pulse coming up
9678s	they got the nano in the back pocket and
9679s	violet with that beat this beat has to
9681s	be big activated lane you should be good
9683s	nice force of the fade by kaloosh but
9685s	can they follow it off with any
9686s	meaningful damage a punch into the wall
9688s	he's trying so hard to kill iris but the
9689s	b is gonna make it impossible a
9691s	three-man stun punch into the wall but
9693s	still no follow-up from the san
9694s	francisco shop the pulsar could be big
9696s	property's gotta hit this it could be
9698s	all over if he doesn't a nice stick
9700s	dante dies the shocks still need to
9702s	touch the point as ot need to be
9704s	triggered it was close and because of
9706s	that proper needed to get there and the
9708s	outlaws knew it they could just run down
9710s	the rest of the shock kilo with the
9712s	visor irish does pop the car with
9714s	essence and he's now trying to dodge
9716s	around the pillars and he does a good
9717s	job of it last year with a final kill on
9720s	tequila proper causing ot and outlaws at
9725s	the very last second are holding strong
9728s	the shot can come back but it's looking
9731s	rather unlikely now
9733s	the houston outlaws just getting control
9735s	of that fight that sustainability really
9738s	keeping them through this round colluge
9740s	importantly switching to the doomfist
9743s	halfway through that round in those
9744s	final fights struggling to stay alive
9746s	when he doesn't have that primal rage
9748s	when he doesn't have the nano it just
9749s	feels like he's getting slowly poked
9750s	down and this is something that we've
9752s	known from the doomfist compositions so
9755s	far throughout the season is that it is
9757s	very strong against the winston those
9759s	left-click shotguns from the doofus just
9761s	so much damage to the winston
9764s	houston outlaws getting the first round
9766s	and taking control
9768s	interested to see if we're going to see
9769s	a widow match up merritt hovering it
9770s	right now
9772s	i want to see it i really do
9776s	take the more aggressive anglers the
9777s	shock just go this full dive it can be
9779s	hard for merit to do much but if you
9781s	have that point and
9783s	give mera all that space
9785s	it can be very tough it's all about this
9786s	first fight setting up merit is key here
9788s	for the outboards
9789s	colluge once again sticking on to that
9791s	doomfist going to take the head-to-head
9793s	an instant value from merritt on the
9794s	widow
9795s	[Applause]
9796s	if you're a winner making you find that
9797s	first dps pick that's a go button
9800s	outlaws glowing green they know they've
9801s	got to push forward
9803s	kilo luckily enough is on the soldier so
9804s	he's going to be able to get back to the
9806s	point fast but look at the space that's
9808s	been garnered now by the outlaws point
9810s	unlocks they should get the cap
9813s	big plays by merit making his presence
9816s	known because the san francisco shock
9817s	they're all going into the left but
9818s	killer gets him with the helix across
9820s	the map wow a little bit of revenge
9821s	that's what you like to see dante gets
9823s	put to sleep his power block is up but
9824s	he's instantly killed off nice punch by
9826s	kaloush there stops that power ball from
9828s	going on
9829s	pelican takes care of fifth so violence
9832s	now solo healer on the point while solo
9834s	healer killer's got that healing station
9835s	down healing up the rest of his team one
9837s	and a half that'll do
9839s	we you see the value of the anna there
9841s	from finn against the doomfist if you
9843s	hit that sleep your team is able to
9844s	converge around and biotic nade there's
9846s	almost nothing you can do at that point
9848s	merit switching over to the sombra wow a
9851s	hero that i do not like i will just be
9854s	honest and a lot of people don't it's
9855s	hard to get value because of how much
9857s	you're outside of the fight you provide
9858s	a lot of cycling
9860s	but oh hack onto finn nice dive but finn
9863s	just backs away a nice little double
9864s	stun there onto finn and violet from
9866s	dante but can he get much more nice
9868s	pulse instant punch there stops that
9870s	damage resist from going through
9873s	the san francisco shot rakhine uh
9875s	replying kind with a beat and kilo just
9877s	gets focused it's a nice beat by violet
9880s	but these hacks are actually been
9881s	pretty well uh placed they're following
9884s	up perfectly the problem is the shock
9886s	are still in control
9888s	forced to burn this beat to try and find
9890s	an inch into this fight the san
9891s	francisco shock of a a comp that can
9893s	come back so quickly pelican now chasing
9896s	down finn he has the nano they
9897s	eventually kill him but with kilo coming
9900s	back he's able to stall for a little
9901s	longer 55 down to 20 building houston
9905s	outlaws and merit making that sombra
9906s	work he's actually charging an emp
9908s	incredibly fast as well he might have
9910s	that one for this upcoming fight
9912s	you can understand the reasoning of the
9914s	pick of the sombra when the doomfist
9916s	goes in if you hack him especially
9917s	through the power block he becomes
9919s	powerless and takes so much damage
9921s	they're gonna look to isolate colluge
9923s	when he goes in
9927s	it's a lot of volts on both sides
9928s	pelican opens it up with a pulse bomb on
9930s	tequila though deluge with the no can he
9933s	kill astro proper helps him do it and
9935s	violent in the back line in fact with
9937s	the front line i should say
9939s	nice little meteor strike from dante
9940s	kalush is in a little bit of trouble
9942s	trying to kill the doofus but look at
9943s	this irises coalescence doing way too
9946s	much work for the shock to deal with
9948s	they need to muster something now
9950s	they've got to go a gup against this emp
9953s	violet's beat has to be perfectly timed
9957s	finn loses the nano as he's going down
9959s	tries to throw it and actually loses it
9960s	doesn't get any value so they might not
9962s	have answers to the ep four-man emp nice
9964s	dive from the outlaws divisor
9967s	to stop the bleeding and that emp the
9969s	hack doesn't last for too long so kilo
9971s	can almost instantly use that violet and
9973s	now file it with the beat
9975s	the outlaws they don't know what to do
9977s	with themselves you have to back off
9978s	you're up against that visor and the
9980s	beat you can't isolate kilo and kill him
9982s	60 now for the shot iris goes for the
9985s	reset
9986s	they know they got maybe one and a half
9987s	fights to go now before they claim the
9989s	map shock bunkering down in that room
9991s	when the emp goes off allows them to
9993s	sustain through and then counter punch
9996s	against the houston outlaws now they
9997s	have the positioning cluj on the
9999s	doomfist he has that meteor strike but
10002s	he's got to be careful of getting hacked
10003s	and isolated so he does not go down
10006s	might want to use it defensively maybe
10007s	merritt looking for the hack yeah it's
10009s	he oh no it doesn't quite get kilo kilo
10011s	spotted him out and now mary's out of
10013s	the action for just a brief moment in
10015s	time
10015s	goes through from pelican expecting
10018s	kalush to dive on in there with a punch
10019s	the meteor strike to separate to both
10021s	dps and tank from the support but it
10023s	doesn't matter iris kills proper as the
10025s	point is attempted to getting flipped by
10027s	the outlaws 98 now online for the shock
10030s	the nano one tequila that's a lot of
10032s	damage but can he get anything done the
10034s	outlaws are doing a good job of
10035s	mitigating it but the helix rockets
10036s	finishes off dante there it falls too
10038s	this is it the shop need the recap here
10040s	the beat from that strobe it hits three
10042s	and iris is close to that coalescence
10045s	aquilo ends up going down robert and
10047s	kalush have to get back to this point
10049s	now
10050s	you can tell the sustainability coming
10052s	from iris with the the coalescence yeah
10054s	the coalescence is used it's gone proper
10055s	takes the kill and now a hack on to
10057s	colluge you're done for sun the outlaws
10060s	they're trying to clean the shock off of
10062s	the point fighting from the top ropes
10063s	close together
10065s	the beat but he still gets it off proper
10067s	still alive and well he's five percent
10070s	towards that box but he gets hacked
10072s	he has to just stay alive for as long as
10074s	possible because everybody else on his
10076s	team is just falling he's so close to
10079s	getting it another emp from merits and
10082s	the houston outlaws wipe the shock and
10084s	take map one
10086s	holy moly
10090s	that killed by eras onto kilo and then
10093s	getting the coalescence was so clutch we
10096s	talked about it in the first round he
10097s	needs to stay alive putting that to
10100s	another level in that round stays alive
10102s	stays on the point and able to sustain
10105s	the san francisco shock and get that
10106s	final backwards
10111s	you may have not liked it scott but that
10112s	sombra looked good for the outlaws those
10115s	emps those manual hacks looking rather
10117s	clean do they kind of stick with this
10120s	not sure the shock get their chance to
10122s	choose the map coming up next so we're
10124s	gonna pick something more in their
10125s	wheelhouse we're gonna jump to a break
10128s	we'll see you guys after this
10130s	[Music]

10399s	[Applause]
10400s	[Music]
10402s	i love me some dumb uh dante doomfist a
10405s	lot a whole lot of vlog for piggy as
10406s	well can't forget about me i thought you
10409s	were about to say dante for a second
10411s	the texan fans would get very upset at
10413s	you no no
10414s	i would never say that dante's been very
10416s	prevalent on twitter being like i
10418s	believe in the the doomfist
10420s	pick he thinks it's good he doesn't
10422s	believe he's being hard counted that
10424s	he's getting value when he's proving it
10426s	today he really is
10427s	the san francisco shock on the other
10429s	hand
10430s	starting at a similar tempo from other
10433s	games scott or the series scott the
10435s	downer map right now
10437s	they need to turn this up like it's
10438s	happened for the last couple of maps in
10440s	a couple of series in a row washington
10442s	justice a team that's already been
10443s	eliminated in the kickoff clash they
10445s	lost the first two maps of that one
10447s	against the atlanta reign yesterday they
10449s	also lost those first two maps it's
10450s	becoming a theme for the san francisco
10453s	shock it takes them a couple of maps to
10455s	really start warming up and it's
10457s	becoming an issue there's a close map
10459s	and we head on over to ikemoto
10463s	this is a map that the houston outlaws
10464s	actually won yesterday against the
10466s	toronto defiant on the back of
10467s	phenomenal doomfist play from dante
10470s	yeah there's no substitutions either so
10472s	we'll be seeing the same rosters no
10474s	piggy just yet
10476s	so dante doom of the day the san
10478s	francisco shock in this regard are a
10480s	little bit more flexible because you
10481s	know you're going to play the doomfist
10484s	if you're if you're against the outlaws
10485s	they know you know they're going to play
10487s	it
10488s	aries hasn't had a bad game either
10490s	coalescence has been good not
10491s	interrupted this time it can be quite
10492s	frustrating especially against the
10494s	doomfist but
10495s	you don't want to open yourself up to
10497s	getting punched like that ideally and
10498s	that's all on the rest of your team just
10500s	putting pressure on kalooz who was
10501s	playing the doom on ruins and stopping
10504s	him from
10505s	forcing irises using his fade or just
10507s	forcing iris into a position where he
10509s	feels like he needs to that coalescence
10512s	interestingly enough it looks like the
10514s	san francisco shock is going to come out
10516s	on the doomfist mirror confident in
10519s	their own play finn's going to start on
10521s	that anna and not the moira looking like
10523s	the same thing for the houston outlaws
10524s	merritt potentially premeditating this
10527s	pick as well starting again on the
10529s	sombra i said i didn't like it i think
10531s	it's very cyclic in a way it feels very
10534s	hard to get out damage but if you can
10535s	get values from the hack like he did on
10537s	ilios then it can be a good pick
10540s	can be the emps are pretty good too it's
10542s	setting things up
10543s	just got to make sure the other team
10544s	doesn't have any uh
10546s	anything like a beat advisor to be fair
10548s	to
10550s	stop the aggression
10552s	little jump shot from pelican doesn't
10553s	find anything they didn't find anything
10554s	either but it's now about merit setting
10556s	up
10558s	good read by the houston outlaws with
10559s	merit on that sombra so we're going to
10561s	see the head-to-head with the only
10563s	differences of the sombra and the moira
10565s	probably a different look of the houston
10566s	outlaws are waiting for that go moment
10568s	when the sombra gets the hack while the
10569s	san francisco shock are going to play
10571s	defensively what a fantastic read there
10574s	by the san francisco shock
10576s	they saw pelican oh sorry merrick go for
10578s	that hack oh oh dante in trouble has got
10580s	the power up punch not today
10584s	as soon as you see that sombra because
10585s	you can hack from stealth now you are
10587s	like slightly revealed so
10589s	just an instant shot interrupting the
10591s	hack stops finn from getting a dover
10593s	great cancel onto their attack
10596s	disables essentially the the engagement
10598s	from the houston outlaws so there's
10600s	going to be two different styles to look
10601s	at even though they're playing the
10602s	similar compositions san francisco shock
10605s	are going to be playing back trying to
10606s	protect finn while the houston outlaws
10608s	they're not going to slow down they're
10609s	going to go aggressive we're looking for
10610s	another hack
10612s	lands on finn but look at that healing
10614s	station down already and there's a nade
10616s	straight on top as soon as he got hacked
10617s	he needed to press that nade button the
10619s	additional healing just helps him
10620s	survive
10621s	dante charging the power box you do not
10623s	want to give the doomfist the power uh
10625s	the power up punch kilo takes care of
10627s	the pelican and proper ordering himself
10628s	earning himself a pulse bomb in the back
10630s	line chasing down iris
10632s	nice two minutes and 30 seconds to go
10635s	san francisco shock
10637s	no expending any ultimates in that fight
10639s	as you highlighted jack as soon as that
10641s	sombra hat comes through they back off
10643s	into the lodge they drop the healing
10644s	station they drop the biotic nade makes
10646s	them almost unkillable through that but
10648s	if you're the houston outlaws you're
10650s	coming up on the emp you're coming up on
10651s	the coalescence but the san francisco
10653s	shock they have ultimates of their own
10655s	they have the nano visor to counter any
10658s	aggression the houston outlaws have okay
10659s	setting up for another hack he knows
10660s	where finn is basically knows where
10662s	everybody is
10663s	nice little telegraph good hack very
10665s	good hack on to colluge didn't expect
10668s	that now division from kilo though beat
10670s	to match he's been hacked can't use
10671s	those legs but he can still shooty
10673s	shooty shooty oh my what pulse bomb from
10676s	proper kills both iris and lash throw
10678s	they might be able to stay alive now
10680s	kilo fending for himself in the lodge
10682s	healing station used has to back off
10684s	into the high ground but
10686s	without support the outlaws aren't going
10688s	to last long and they're sent to the
10690s	county jail absolutely enormous pulse
10693s	bomb putting a stop to that aggression
10695s	by the houston outlaws let's have a look
10696s	at this one right here
10699s	just biting his time oh in the corridor
10702s	on the coal left magic
10705s	eras can't fade away from that one and
10707s	they get the finish houston outlaws used
10708s	everything except for the emp so they're
10710s	gonna need to rely on that one getting
10712s	into this one the san francisco shock
10714s	giving them a bit of space again merits
10715s	out once again
10717s	he's out for about 10 seconds until he
10719s	can get back in this fight yeah san
10721s	francisco shock i'm willing to put an e
10724s	like pedal to the metal at all
10727s	again just not having a good time nice
10729s	use of the meteor strike there from
10730s	kaloush was a little bit scared proper
10733s	this is the performance you expected
10736s	from this guy has been a bit slow to
10737s	warm up they're looking for him they
10739s	know pelicans behind him they're hunting
10741s	him in the basement this is going to be
10743s	oh oh okay pelican can penny get away a
10746s	nice triple blink over the side there's
10748s	no hot health back no proper finishing
10750s	them off okay
10751s	look at the spaces given though the
10752s	houston outlaws already on the point and
10754s	they still have the emp pog spot next to
10756s	dante goodbye proper is cleaning up the
10760s	outlaws right now and we're 25 seconds
10763s	to go and merit now not having an emp
10766s	what do they have left for this point uh
10768s	for point a
10769s	using it hoping it would dissuade the
10771s	kill onto dante but it doesn't and the
10773s	houston outlaws haven't been able to
10774s	make anything work they haven't been
10776s	able to deal with proper who just exists
10778s	in their backline
10780s	no one's checking him
10781s	called the mega health pack
10783s	forcing the fade from heiress is good
10785s	nice beat collusion is hacked but no his
10787s	abilities come instantly back and they
10789s	don't touch
10790s	[Applause]
10794s	the shock with an unbelievable defense
10798s	on point a
10801s	the merit sombra not getting the same
10803s	value
10804s	what we saw on control
10807s	and i think that really highlighted the
10808s	weaknesses of sombra and why people have
10810s	not been pulling it out
10812s	that emp is very valuable the hacks are
10813s	very valuable but you have answers the
10816s	new sombra hack doesn't last for very
10818s	long it's only about a second so
10820s	therefore as soon as someone gets hacked
10821s	they can use their abilities to escape
10823s	and the san francisco shock did that
10825s	beautifully they were just able to
10827s	coordinate anyone who got hacked came
10829s	back to safety and then the outlaws with
10831s	a sombra that's not enough damage they
10833s	didn't couldn't isolate anything iris on
10835s	the moira they don't have biotic nades
10836s	they don't have sleeps they have no
10838s	answers to everything the san francisco
10840s	shock is throwing at them and get
10842s	nothing done a full hold on aiken motor
10844s	something we don't see very often
10846s	no not at all
10850s	see at the very end of the fight it was
10852s	it's difficult too because not only do
10854s	the san francisco shock in that moment
10855s	have the beat they also have kilo just
10858s	running to the back line using that
10859s	speed boost from violet you don't really
10861s	need to heal anymore when you've used
10862s	the beat at least not for the you know
10864s	possible couple of seconds or so can
10866s	speed kilo and then the back line is
10868s	history iris used to fade you're done
10870s	for there's too much damage coming out
10871s	from the nano soldier we're going to see
10873s	houston outlaws go back to what they
10874s	know merit's going to go on to the
10876s	reaper iris will stay on the moira
10878s	gives them that engagement tool look at
10880s	them to try and hunt down the back line
10882s	as soon as the san francisco shock
10884s	peaked their faces around the corner but
10886s	it's a four-minute hole that's hard to
10887s	do
10888s	it's tough stuff tough stuff
10891s	the reef is good on this map when the
10893s	dune goes to the engage it's pretty easy
10894s	to get a lot of damage down should be
10896s	careful not charge up the power-up punch
10897s	with a block
10899s	should it be good slow rotation from the
10901s	shock though you can see the shock
10903s	knowing that that's what the houston
10904s	outlaws are waiting for trying to stay
10906s	protected they're moving into the glass
10907s	room oh dear houston outlaws started
10910s	back up they need to be careful of the
10911s	biotic needs from finn needs to be
10912s	careful of proper who's on the flank
10914s	nice forcing of the recoil there by
10915s	pelican everything's in that small room
10916s	they take caramel already dante is dead
10918s	this isn't a good look from the outlaws
10920s	at all lastro in the small corridor
10922s	staying alive keeping his team healthy
10924s	kills of violence lastro actually coming
10926s	up clutch for the outlaws at the very
10928s	end
10929s	there's almost a tick completed she saw
10930s	that proper all the time like all that
10933s	whole time he's just pressuring the
10934s	point pressuring the back line making
10936s	sure outwards not only have to look
10937s	forward but behind them improv is just
10940s	going to do that he's going to continue
10941s	to just exist in the back line he has a
10943s	pulse bomb coming up soon he can finish
10945s	the map with just one quality one there
10947s	san francisco shock stepping up once
10949s	again
10950s	i sleep onto dante can't proper and a
10951s	pulse bomb before anything happens
10952s	dante's purple no power block in sight
10954s	someone needs to save him it's not quite
10956s	quick enough proper has the pulse
10958s	outlaws have already lost three it's as
10960s	good as over a nice stick on to iris a
10963s	recall onto the point in the san
10965s	francisco shock secure that 33 percent
10969s	they take map number two
10971s	and tie this series up
10974s	a slow start for the shock over the last
10976s	couple of series but they're coming
10978s	alive way sooner
10980s	than what we normally see we questioned
10982s	whether or not collusion want to pull
10984s	out that mirror doomfist and san
10985s	francisco shock proving very proficient
10988s	at this composition if you're the
10990s	houston outlaws
10991s	do you go back to the mirror put merit
10993s	onto that soldier or are you confident
10995s	in this moira reaper rush
10997s	maybe but that did not work on this map
11001s	it was just map diff not sure maybe that
11003s	was jake's secret sauce that we haven't
11004s	seen a whole bunch of yet like i'm not
11007s	entirely certain we're going to jump to
11009s	a break it's now outlaw's turn to choose
11011s	the map we've seen a sec
11014s	[Applause]
11015s	[Music]
11024s	so
11046s	[Music]
11053s	[Music]
11064s	[Music]
11096s	[Music]
11110s	[Laughter]
11117s	[Music]
11153s	do
11167s	[Music]
11179s	[Music]
11181s	so
11184s	[Music]
11219s	[Music]
11237s	so
11248s	whoever said lightning doesn't strike
11250s	twice has never met the san francisco
11256s	it's on the most hardcore carry
11258s	performances that i've ever seen just
11259s	the depth of talent on their roster that
11262s	can't be denied i mean what more can you
11264s	ask in the shot this is going to be a
11266s	wild ride
11267s	[Music]
11268s	pilot is cracked he's out of his mind
11271s	i say that justice okay
11275s	everything right now jesus christ
11278s	sam has dead lifting right now actually
11282s	10 years of doing so much cleans it up
11283s	right
11285s	san francisco has cemented themselves as
11287s	the greatest team in overwatch
11294s	what's better than hitting a huge primer
11295s	rage well doing it in style tune in and
11298s	watch five hours at the kickoff clash
11299s	this weekend to claim your very own
11301s	overwatch league winston home and away
11304s	skins
11305s	looking pretty snazzy out there and
11307s	ranked it's gonna be a good time all
11309s	right scott
11310s	matt number three
11312s	houston outlaws they uh they took
11315s	control shock social media post the meme
11317s	please thank you
11319s	uh map number two was the shocks in
11321s	quite dominating fashion mind you
11323s	eichenbalder was held by them and then
11325s	uh just swiftly took that 33 we go on to
11328s	route 66 as our next map a map we've not
11331s	actually seen uh so far in the
11333s	tournament
11334s	that's usually because teams prioritize
11336s	playing that dive on dorado on
11338s	watchpoint gibraltar while if you're the
11341s	houston outlaws they don't have a
11342s	winston player but they haven't shown a
11344s	willingness to put piggy on that hero so
11347s	route 66 is really the least bad option
11350s	if you're the houston outlaws so i
11352s	wouldn't be surprised if they put a lot
11353s	of work and time into this map i'm
11355s	curious to see what they're going to
11356s	pull out because as you said jack we
11358s	have not seen this map so far in the
11359s	tournament
11362s	well we know what the alola is going to
11363s	play is the doomfist it's whether mera
11365s	actually flexes off this summer because
11366s	he did try a little bit both it was
11368s	defensive sombra and then he went for
11369s	the uh
11371s	the reaper as well so defensive reaper
11372s	and aggressive sombra the attacking song
11375s	it works on control you don't get a
11377s	whole lot of space to be fair when you
11379s	attack uh just the singular point and i
11381s	can bother so it's
11382s	difficult for merrick to find these off
11384s	angles to hack the supports even that
11386s	collusion he had that one good hack on
11389s	kalush's doomfist they followed up with
11390s	the kill but then it's proper just doing
11392s	proper things getting a double pulse
11394s	bomb and uh yeah you can't really
11395s	account for that to be honest well you
11397s	should if you're not
11399s	accounting for proper to be in your back
11400s	line and just do that much work then
11402s	you're not thinking hard enough because
11404s	proper actually fun fact did not die in
11406s	the last map he was just existing in the
11408s	back line and when they're not playing
11410s	that anna or anything that really has
11412s	that high damage output there's nothing
11414s	to really punish proper uh going into
11416s	this map though it looks like we're
11418s	going to see some widowmaker
11419s	interestingly enough for merit curious
11421s	to see if proper will walk out of spawn
11423s	on this widow i doubt it if they were
11425s	going to play the widowmaker they
11426s	usually go towards kilo on that one
11429s	but i could no i'm right
11431s	killer goes over to the soldier proper
11433s	over to the tracer they're going to play
11434s	the doomfist dive while the houston
11436s	outlaws sticking with iris on that moira
11438s	but merit on the widow is another look
11441s	it is another look
11442s	okay rob is trying to find him there you
11444s	go okay using the ping system excellent
11446s	stuff good advertising
11448s	san francisco shock uh
11450s	they're gonna have a tough time actually
11451s	getting to the widow they have to just
11453s	rely on proper really to destroy merit
11454s	for long enough
11456s	uh just smg headshots bit of dishonest
11459s	play but
11460s	yeah no recall no problem collusion
11463s	however taking out dante close spawns
11465s	are way closer for the shot so the
11466s	outlaws now to be careful you can see
11468s	the adjustment by the houston outlaws
11470s	last row marking proper not allowing him
11472s	to just get into the back line and live
11474s	for free
11475s	merit being able to shoot freely now the
11477s	proper is down but the san francisco
11479s	shock with that pick on to do uh onto
11482s	dante being able to get the first half
11483s	of the first point either way
11485s	yeah yeah that's fine
11488s	this is my brain
11490s	man is having a tough uh tough time
11492s	getting the ending done right now in
11493s	fact just a double punch there from
11494s	koloosh power block up don't want to
11496s	charge that power up though
11498s	straight to the back line again merit
11500s	having a tough tough time look he's
11502s	trying to get angles but
11504s	kalush is chasing mane like around the
11506s	entire point like what do you do if
11508s	you're there right there it feels like
11509s	right now he needs to switch there's no
11510s	space granted
11512s	by the outlaws to give merit a few
11514s	sidelines and that's the problem with
11516s	playing the defensive widowmaker is if
11518s	they go fast like the san francisco
11520s	shock r it becomes impossible impossible
11522s	to freely shoot and you see that merit
11525s	switches over to the reaper they're
11526s	going back to the setup that we had in
11528s	action
11528s	okay the car has not been pushed that
11530s	far luckily for the outlaws and they can
11533s	attempt to go in with a coalescence the
11535s	punch has already been used by collusion
11536s	in fact he's using a meteor strike to
11538s	get away nano booster on tequila no
11540s	visor but not normally a problem for
11542s	kilo and now with the outlaws on of the
11544s	high ground he's very willing to just
11546s	run them down he's got a beat at his
11548s	back and merit bites the dust the san
11550s	francisco shock keeping the payload
11552s	going no way lasher used this beat to
11554s	keep them in this fight it's more than
11556s	lost for them right now
11558s	the shock with a beat and a nano and a
11560s	visor and a pulse and a meteor strike to
11562s	get point a sometimes just walking in
11564s	and pressing q is the best course of
11566s	action
11567s	using all those ultimates to get that
11568s	first point is not the worst thing in
11570s	the world outlaws weren't able to keep
11572s	up pace with merits having to switch
11573s	heroes and last road not at that beat
11575s	yet and they lose the first point in a
11577s	pretty quick time so the houston outlaws
11579s	are back on that reaper warrior
11581s	composition we've talked about it they
11582s	need to find a way to isolate the san
11584s	francisco shock backline because they
11586s	don't have the same level of damage and
11588s	pick potential with biotic nades but
11589s	there's a pulse bomb from pelican to
11591s	bust it wide open there's the pick that
11592s	you wanted yeah okay
11595s	that's a good start wave those doors to
11597s	close to pretty easy to hang around here
11599s	with the doomfist
11600s	a massive wall can be a little backboard
11602s	for the punch
11603s	all right let's see what shot want to do
11605s	next they've got one kind of got pulse
11607s	coming up proper charges incredibly
11608s	quickly they still have the last row
11610s	sound barrier as well so you can see the
11612s	houston outlaws having the confidence in
11614s	that ultimate playing aggressive proper
11615s	down again definitely dealing with him
11617s	better than they have in previous maps
11619s	oh yeah just containing proper that's
11621s	what you need to do easier said than
11622s	done but last row finding that nice
11624s	final blow it's gonna hinder the shocks
11627s	uh approach they're taking low crime now
11631s	three minutes remaining this is a hard
11633s	hole to get to dante gets left this is
11634s	going to give them so much space nice
11636s	nade perfectly tight b from last story
11637s	he's had that since point a that you're
11639s	going to surge on forwards merry doing a
11641s	fair bit of damage but somehow the san
11642s	francisco shock still surviving a nano
11645s	on tequila to stop him from dying and
11647s	iris
11649s	once again
11651s	getting his coalescence interrupted
11654s	the san francisco shock getting that
11656s	payload going colluge on the doom fist
11659s	making waves coming into the back line
11661s	iris pops that coalescence and kalu just
11664s	runs him down hits him with the punch
11665s	canceling it and then the houston
11667s	outlaws don't have the legs to finish
11669s	out the fight and now the san francisco
11670s	shock are rolling and they're also
11672s	coming up to a good set of ultimates
11674s	killer with the visor is going to make
11675s	it very difficult for the houston
11676s	outlaws to close the distance dante's
11678s	got that power-up punch you got to be
11680s	careful
11681s	dodging around the payload he's still
11682s	taking a fair bit of damage
11685s	pulse bomb for papa kilo with a visor
11688s	but he's stuck pelican hits an amazing
11691s	stick can they follow up with more it
11693s	looks like they can with finn dying
11694s	proper gets revenge killing dante but
11696s	the san francisco shock losing their
11698s	main healer
11699s	they gonna have to back up there's no
11701s	way they can sustain not against merit
11703s	and iris still being alive pelican
11706s	coming up clutch for the houston outlaws
11708s	again i feel like you could just say
11709s	again and again and again watching him
11711s	play gets that so important stick on the
11713s	kilo but now we go into the next fight
11715s	kalooz has that uh meteor strike he's
11717s	probably gonna go deep maybe entering
11719s	into this room
11720s	please don't shoot the dark a power
11722s	block you don't want to give him that
11723s	power up there he goes
11725s	engagement from collusion proper action
11726s	forced a recall
11728s	they think twice if he wants to use that
11729s	pulse spot
11731s	pelican is lying in weight you can see
11733s	in his eyes he knows he could
11735s	potentially get the stick on pelican but
11737s	pelican with the recall will just drop
11738s	that straight to the ground
11740s	still moving the payload though good bit
11742s	of aggression from the san francisco
11743s	shock pelican throwing out the pulse
11744s	goes wide
11746s	and film coming up to a nano proper
11748s	kills iris again last row with the beat
11750s	to sustain through all of this damage
11752s	mary doesn't receive the over shield so
11754s	has to back off
11756s	the san francisco shock they're gonna
11757s	win this fight right here right now with
11759s	a blind but merrick comes up big
11761s	actually with a death possum he does
11762s	kill two but finn was off to the
11764s	sidelines didn't get any damage from
11766s	that death blossom so he's able to just
11768s	sit on the high ground hold on to the
11769s	nano and keep his dps and tanks alive
11772s	are the outlaws gonna go for this they
11773s	have the coalescence coming up soon it's
11775s	getting close
11777s	they are going to contest
11779s	dante's holding down the card he's got
11781s	the power block going
11782s	iris with that coalescence if he gets
11784s	this interrupted it could be done nano
11786s	on to collusion he's in that tight
11788s	corridor you're gonna have to dodge it
11789s	somehow some way not going to be
11791s	possible though kalou's going crazy in
11793s	the back line proper finishing that one
11795s	up through team kill for the san
11797s	francisco shock as they claim point b
11800s	maybe a greedy re-engage from the
11801s	houston outlaws it could have gone their
11803s	way with that iris coalescence but it
11805s	does not go their way this time so they
11807s	do not have that one for the third point
11809s	but there is only 90 seconds remaining
11811s	for the san francisco shock to push it
11813s	through this whole third point and the
11815s	houston outlaws actually blinking merit
11817s	switches over to the soldier he doesn't
11819s	want to be on that reaper anymore he's
11820s	just getting punished from too far away
11822s	ira's also moving over to the anna
11824s	it's absolutely from keogh to get him on
11826s	the high ground you should be good
11828s	there he is just chilling
11830s	buys activated lastro thinks twice about
11832s	actually trying to engage on that oh
11834s	riding on the truck not where you want
11836s	to be and proper jason down pelican
11838s	proper just forcing pelican to a
11839s	situation where he dies to proper or he
11841s	dies to kilo visor
11843s	now they're taking control of the truck
11844s	outlaws forced all the way back to spawn
11846s	to try and hunker down get
11848s	reinforcements and go again it's going
11850s	to be so hard to dislodge the san
11851s	francisco shock team from the high
11852s	ground the houston outlaws are going to
11854s	be walking we have a biotic nade on
11855s	tamara so he's not going to be able to
11856s	approach trump with the pulse looking at
11858s	last row but could just play this one
11860s	rather safety so chooses he does recalls
11862s	all the way back to the point last row
11864s	again quite unlucky with the way he's
11866s	been positioning a nice little dodge
11868s	there from proper dodges away out of
11870s	irises range stops him from going down
11872s	and dante with a little stall on the
11875s	seismic slam just ends in his demise the
11877s	san francisco shock have lost both
11879s	support so they're forced to back away
11880s	the outlaws
11881s	are gaining control once again but they
11883s	got 20 seconds before the shock run out
11886s	of time we're in last fight territory
11888s	ultimates coming up for the shock they
11889s	have the beat i wouldn't be surprised to
11891s	see them as soon as merrick pops this
11893s	visor they're going to pop that sound
11894s	barrier and they are going to run him
11896s	down aggression has to be key for the
11898s	shot going into final fight territory
11900s	beat for violet last rose closing in on
11902s	his a nice idea
11904s	forces dante and merits to back away but
11906s	collu suffering the same but this beat
11908s	for the shock is good last row matches
11910s	in kind and helps merrick get into a
11912s	position where he can do damage with
11913s	that visor but it's going to be all on
11915s	promise pulse bomb here
11917s	if he attaches to a support it might
11918s	just be over there's a lot of people
11919s	lining up but he manages
11921s	to throw on the ground not picking up a
11923s	kill just yet and iris applying that
11926s	nano boost to merit who's got a high
11927s	ground advantage the shock the health
11929s	bar is reduced to zero the outlaws are
11932s	going to make their stand
11934s	on that final point
11937s	last row been getting picked a few times
11939s	in that round but comes in with a clutch
11941s	sound barrier to counter that aggression
11943s	by the san francisco shock and they hold
11946s	on the third point
11948s	win condition finally there for the
11949s	houston outlaws not a bad defense but
11952s	now they need to be able to prove to be
11953s	be able to do it on offense that's where
11955s	they're struggling on archival
11957s	especially if they want to lean back
11958s	onto that merit reaper it was just so
11960s	hard to get anything done all the merit
11962s	sombra at that point i would like to see
11964s	houston outlaws go back to the tried and
11966s	true soldier anna like they have played
11969s	in the past because
11971s	they are good at it iris is a great
11972s	honor merit is a great soldier and i
11974s	feel like the reaper moira was built to
11977s	counter compositions to counter the
11978s	doomfist so it feels like they're
11980s	countering themselves we're like nine
11982s	levels deep at this point or at least i
11983s	am
11985s	are they going that does
11986s	jake play 9d chess
11989s	not sure his brain's big enough to do
11990s	that he it is a very big brain
11993s	houston outlaws right now
11995s	showing off that they want to put iris
11997s	back onto that moira merit on the hanzo
11999s	would be an interesting
12000s	change merits just playing mystery
12002s	heroes at this point
12004s	okay
12006s	i don't know if you're gonna see that
12007s	maybe just a sonic arrow just to sniff
12009s	out any
12010s	you're probably right like a close
12012s	defense
12013s	seems so
12015s	it's very it's a wild headshot it's very
12017s	impressive right now for me the san
12019s	francisco shock having this look of
12021s	colluge on the doomfist because it's
12022s	something we haven't seen much of them
12024s	so far this season and if they have that
12027s	in their arsenal going forward into
12029s	these future matches if they win this
12031s	match then it's going to be important
12032s	houston outlaws committing to the moira
12035s	reaper once again
12039s	okay the shot playing all the way back
12041s	they don't want to engage on this
12044s	uh
12044s	on the forward hole they're just happy
12046s	to engage on the corner
12050s	getting very very low san
12053s	francisco shock willing to give up the
12054s	front half of this point
12056s	because they want to set up on the high
12058s	ground with the ana and the soldier once
12060s	again getting that first pick onto dante
12062s	it is going to be very difficult for
12064s	dante to get any positioning on this
12066s	point
12069s	proper and pelicans old generation right
12071s	now
12072s	kind of nuts
12074s	60 for proper 50
12077s	for pelican you can see the outlaws
12079s	trying to get comp positioning
12080s	underneath the high ground in the gas
12082s	station right now they can keep pushing
12084s	the card and san francisco shock don't
12086s	have any angles finn's probably looking
12088s	for a biotic nade get that big purple
12090s	and then that's go time for the san
12091s	francisco shark yeah really nice you can
12093s	see colluge though he is
12095s	currently contesting the payload oh kilo
12097s	on the side kilo on the side kilo on the
12099s	battery that's super low oh my god how
12102s	is how is he alive okay kilo just lost
12104s	him completely nice pull spawn hilo
12107s	just standing out of range and proper
12109s	takes care of pelican okay good start
12111s	and a nice sleep onto dante stops that
12113s	power block from going off the sleep
12115s	goes right through it
12116s	and it's an easy cleanup kill after that
12119s	cleanup kills i should say the shock
12123s	they do
12124s	something quite tricky uh against the
12125s	outlaws there you saw colu's the whole
12127s	time just peeking his head over the side
12130s	contesting that payload and that's a
12132s	hard thing for the houston outlaws to
12133s	deal with they don't have that range
12135s	damage they don't have that poke so
12136s	kalouge has freedom to just sort of
12138s	stand on that high ground and now we
12140s	have every single ultimate up for the
12142s	san francisco shock to hold iris has
12144s	that coalescence they're going to need
12145s	to force this engagement but need to
12147s	keep an eye on the keyload nano visor
12149s	prop is locked in
12151s	pulse bomb
12153s	in the gas station might be quite deadly
12155s	there's a coalescence though from iris
12157s	does manage to take out finn i beat was
12159s	a little bit too late from violet there
12161s	they haven't got a nano to work with but
12162s	kilos still going to go for the ultimate
12164s	it was a massive mistake as dante was
12166s	there to clean him up the houston
12169s	outlaws they're staying alive in this
12170s	fight iris gets stunned but in the
12173s	pelicans alive
12174s	that finn kill was so crucial for the
12177s	outlaws there and kilo went for a
12178s	desperation just normal
12181s	visor great play by the shooting
12183s	outlawza finding the finn has isolated
12186s	himself on the high ground
12187s	at the san francisco shop really going
12189s	to try and recontest this it's getting
12190s	close on tequila he's getting pretty low
12193s	caloose was the one to touch and last
12194s	row stepped a little bit too far up a
12196s	meteor strike to try and separate the
12197s	team but kilo is more than happy just to
12199s	laser dante down on this low ground
12202s	dante is completely out of the fight
12203s	he's way too low to go for this
12205s	engagement waiting for the heels from
12206s	iris and last row to get back in but
12208s	finn with a kill onto iris make sure
12210s	outlaws have to go again nice re-engage
12212s	from the shock there using that nano
12214s	onto kyo to keep him alive as they go
12216s	through that show break great
12217s	coordination proper comes in through the
12219s	lower tunnel so he can contest the point
12221s	at the last second but the rest of san
12222s	francisco sure walking in with the nanos
12225s	the time though 38 seconds the houston
12227s	outlaws are close to being full held
12229s	once again
12231s	pelicans pokemon has to be big but he's
12234s	gonna have to make it bigger than poor
12235s	operas right now oh very early recall
12237s	wasn't receiving any healing he was a
12239s	los alamos
12242s	now pelican trying to make some moves
12243s	dante two again another very early
12245s	recall doesn't want to play this too
12246s	dangerously maybe just touching the
12247s	payload will force the shot to do
12248s	something merit with a big death blossom
12250s	sped along kills proper somehow not a
12253s	kill you normally see the tracer could
12254s	normally recall but
12256s	proper not quite so lucky and now
12258s	collusion isolated dante takes his
12259s	chance kalouge left out to dry he had
12263s	the meteor strike and killer once again
12265s	popping the vice at the kenny too much i
12266s	don't think so fighter had to go for the
12268s	touch
12269s	and the houston outlaws made it worse
12271s	okay point a is theirs
12274s	outlaws finding that so important pick
12276s	under proper there and the san francisco
12279s	shock kill or getting a little desperate
12281s	thinking that they can still hold on to
12283s	it but two minutes remaining for the
12285s	outlaws it took them very long in the
12286s	first point so they're not having many
12289s	opportunities to push through iris with
12291s	this coalescence we saw them isolate
12293s	finn last time they had it need to do it
12295s	again
12299s	ideal opportunity now just wait for last
12300s	road to get that beat
12302s	pulse one from proper
12304s	doesn't find much but finds pelican in
12307s	fact both traces now dead 4v4 two
12309s	support ultimates in hand for the
12311s	outlaws san francisco shock have a good
12314s	sight light onto the payload though
12315s	scott been doing a little bit of damage
12317s	and healing gets that nano
12319s	it's so difficult for them to get onto
12321s	this high ground to dislodge the soldier
12323s	in the anna dante's going oh he's going
12325s	going almost gone
12327s	fade already been used and now here is
12328s	going to the high ground at last or
12330s	ajax's
12331s	they got the correlations to back them
12333s	up and finn is dead so the shock
12335s	responding kind with the beats can they
12337s	get much damage done kilo still not
12339s	hindered on the high ground he
12341s	eventually drops to try and touch the
12343s	payload
12344s	but merrick cleans him up proper is back
12347s	from the dead
12348s	but with no healers he's gonna have to
12350s	let the outlaws push this payload along
12353s	just a little bit waiting for those
12354s	reinforcements to come in
12356s	outlaws making the best of a bad
12358s	situation still managed to stay in the
12360s	fight but the san francisco shock are
12361s	coming back kilos finally coming back to
12364s	that visor pelicans gonna be looking for
12366s	him with that pulse bomb 45 seconds
12368s	we're getting close to last fight
12370s	territory if the houston outlaws don't
12371s	speed this up they need to clutch up
12373s	once again nice sizing slam into the
12376s	punch but merit once more this is
12379s	exactly the same thing that happened on
12381s	point a merit comes up big with a death
12383s	blossom kill onto a dps and then the
12384s	rest of the team capitalized on it the
12386s	houston outlaws still with the pulse in
12388s	hand
12389s	for the shock they've done it once they
12391s	could do it again they can go for the
12392s	recon test if they can get into this
12394s	fight the visor from kilo could come up
12397s	enormous but it's almost impossible to
12398s	get through this choice this seems like
12399s	a bad idea by the shock they're gonna
12401s	contest pulson from pelican goes wide
12402s	has to use a bling to dodge out of it so
12404s	he doesn't die kilo now on the high
12406s	ground where he loves to be nice pokemon
12408s	from proper outlaws their final seconds
12412s	are here they need to come up big ash
12414s	last row and pelican are dead ot here
12416s	there it pops the raid to get out of
12418s	that purple but the shock have the kills
12420s	they have the damage they have the
12422s	health and they have the map ot ticking
12425s	through and the shock are on match
12427s	points
12429s	san francisco shock proving me wrong it
12431s	felt like the houston outlaws just left
12432s	the door open the struck able to funnel
12435s	through that doorway and once they're
12436s	into the fight they had the ultimates to
12438s	get through
12440s	great play by the san francisco shock i
12442s	can start to see and understand the
12445s	merit reaper how it provides value you
12447s	saw the death blossoms coming up clutch
12449s	time and time again but
12452s	in the neutral it just doesn't feel like
12453s	he offers enough in comparison to the
12455s	merit of the kilo soldier he's just not
12457s	enough damage and dante's just unable to
12459s	do anything
12463s	it's time
12464s	it's time
12465s	the reverse sweep well kind of
12467s	outlaws just need to match back okay
12468s	they're still your first sweeps this
12470s	weekend i'm going to be really and in
12471s	fact the this league this year to begin
12473s	with
12474s	2-1 to the san francisco shock this jump
12475s	to a break is outlaw's time to choose a
12478s	map we'll see in a bit

12769s	to win while i can do it all so far he's

12805s	is actually a god crazy
12811s	violet in the shock
12814s	they're one map away
12816s	from knocking out the houston outlaws
12819s	in front of a texan crowd scott
12822s	they're ready to rock and roll that's
12824s	rue 66 game tough tough stuff they
12827s	stopped the outlaws just before that
12829s	second point
12830s	the houston outlaws really leaning
12832s	heavily on to that dante doofus with
12834s	that merit reaper and that hasn't played
12837s	off for them so far in this series the
12838s	san francisco shock showing that they
12841s	can mirror it
12842s	but we're going on to a new map coliseum
12844s	and your boy piggies coming in
12848s	shades of zaya i would expect they have
12850s	been very very good so far on that
12852s	composition when they've had the space
12854s	to play it
12857s	maybe a little bit of hanzo as well
12859s	zarya hanzo has been quite popular over
12862s	the last couple of days
12866s	yeah it's it's something that we've seen
12868s	from a lot of different teams san
12870s	francisco shock have not been playing a
12871s	lot of that zaya themselves i'm curious
12874s	to see if they're going to pull that out
12876s	in this series
12877s	we know they can collusion's such a
12879s	flexible tank and it could be done
12882s	but the houston outlaws with their backs
12885s	against the wall putting their faith
12886s	into piggy and pelican once again we saw
12889s	a ridiculous play by him on the hanzo
12892s	yesterday to clutch it out
12894s	can he do it again
12897s	if you want to go to any map really it's
12898s	going to be this one right that unreal
12902s	ot
12903s	fight from pelican on the hanzo
12906s	you've got to feel it you've got to feel
12907s	it in your bones right
12909s	like i feel so you'd feel so confident
12911s	after uh after that right on that map
12912s	you're like okay colosseo yeah i know my
12915s	stuff on this map i'm gonna play hanzo
12917s	i'd be very surprised if they played
12919s	anything else it's what the shock want
12920s	to kind of counter that with
12922s	um oh unlucky we're going to do it just
12925s	yet let's see if i get yelled at again
12926s	for this one as we get a pause coming in
12929s	if pelican does it again are we going to
12931s	call it pelican ceo or something like
12933s	that do we have to rename the map after
12935s	him like we did with lee jay gone
12938s	how would you
12939s	colossia pelican
12942s	palacio
12944s	we'll get a thought experiment going
12945s	there so we'll start deciding but yeah
12947s	it's
12948s	the houston outlaws have very heavily
12949s	leaned on to dante on that doomfist but
12951s	they have started towards the end of the
12953s	kickoff clash putting piggy onto this
12955s	zaya playing that kind of dallas fuel
12958s	style they haven't had the same level of
12960s	success as we've seen from the dallas
12962s	fuel that definitely preferred to play
12964s	that doomfist while the san francisco
12966s	shock at least at this point
12968s	we haven't really seen that look they're
12969s	very heavily leaned on the dive of
12972s	colluge and just out skilling and
12974s	outmatching people and that's not hard
12976s	to do when you have a player like proper
12978s	on your team who just seems to always
12980s	get so much work done yeah he's his kda
12983s	currently in his series is astronomical
12986s	his 25 blows last map alone
12990s	it's the same kind of stuff we want to
12992s	see
12993s	[Music]
13000s	not yet one of these days we'll see
13002s	someone pick up the sojourn we have
13004s	differences in the compositions though
13005s	here piggy playing the zaya collusion
13007s	the
13008s	but pelican on that hanzo once again
13011s	probably on that tracer going to try and
13012s	find those flanks be pesky in the
13014s	backline like he has been so far in this
13016s	series
13018s	a little bit slower from the outlaws
13020s	just want to wait for pelican to find a
13022s	pick shock wanna wait for their
13024s	cooldowns to come up and then dive on in
13027s	you can tell last row he's hunting
13028s	proper not allowing him to move around
13030s	the map piggy stepping up onto the car
13032s	trying to get some of that energy
13036s	remember the storm arrow kind of
13037s	ricochet too so you might find a nice a
13039s	couple of hits with that and finish
13041s	someone off but look at this there's the
13042s	engagement from the shot pelican holding
13044s	a nice little off angle can climb oh
13046s	misspelled the climb he's good no one
13047s	was chasing him luckily enough but
13049s	violet in kilo and they're going down
13051s	this slow methodical play style of the
13053s	outlaws okay it's working out right now
13056s	by playing this hanzo and desire
13057s	composition it puts a timer on the san
13060s	francisco shock they have to go at some
13062s	moment with the doomfist with the tracer
13064s	because there's just not enough damage
13066s	so the outlaws they're going to be
13068s	playing a defensive style waiting for
13070s	kalouge to come in
13072s	probably close that pog swarm already
13074s	though pelican hasn't hit too many
13075s	arrows quite uh quite low in the
13078s	ultimate charge bank
13080s	but the threat of the hanzo was
13081s	sometimes just good enough if you just
13083s	wait too long the hanzo will eventually
13085s	hit a shot especially someone like
13087s	pelican you can see look at how
13088s	defensive the houston outlaws are
13090s	playing as the san francisco try and
13091s	find purchase pelican gets biodignated
13094s	probably trying to get him isolated
13096s	really heads up play there oh right next
13098s	to piggy nice
13099s	just woke up in time
13101s	probably still in the back line causing
13103s	a ruckus beat actually to counter that
13105s	uh bionate hit merit iris and last row
13108s	but oh proper steam assume the bailout
13110s	stealing the bot they may have won that
13111s	little battle there that uh skirmish
13113s	would colluge but
13114s	proper is fairly annoying
13116s	befriending ts1 getting him to come
13119s	along mitigating the success of that
13121s	houston outlaws team fight win but now
13123s	we're starting to get ultimates coming
13124s	online they have the nano visor from
13126s	houston outlaws when they go aggressive
13127s	they'll be able to pop that one
13129s	pilot's going to need a good sound
13130s	barrier he can't drop the beef at all
13133s	mess it up merrick got bubble just in
13135s	time and a nice nano but san francisco
13137s	shock at the b so mayor has to play
13138s	rather safe he can't quite chunk through
13140s	everybody whether over health is present
13142s	he's 40 hp with a visor but he's trapped
13144s	in a corner and the san francisco shot
13147s	put him in a box and send him back home
13150s	they're gonna use that meteor strike in
13151s	the beat in that fight they got nano
13153s	visor up next but look at what outlaws
13156s	have garnered
13157s	they got the grab dragons
13160s	and how do you deal with this i feel the
13161s	san francisco shock you just need to
13164s	mitigate the number of people that are
13165s	going to be in this graviton surge
13167s	because they don't have a beat they
13169s	don't have an immortality field
13171s	someone's gonna fall to this graviton
13173s	you need to try and find value elsewhere
13175s	in the fight
13177s	there's the visor no nano though
13179s	there's you know classic graviton surge
13182s	has been used dragons on top there's a
13184s	lot of people in trouble violet more so
13186s	than anybody else rather squishy on the
13188s	lucio of course even if you have after
13190s	healing oh what a
13192s	humongous sleep dart from finn stops
13195s	pelican from running away with the game
13197s	as a 1v1 turned into a 2v1 properly the
13199s	pulse bomb right on top of his head
13201s	cleans up the rest of the outlaws there
13203s	even after they use their dragons violet
13207s	presents himself as tribute to that
13209s	graviton dragon falls but as i said san
13211s	francisco shock fighting elsewhere
13213s	managed to get a ton of value pelican
13214s	moving over to the reaper unable to find
13216s	value with that hanzo iris is down
13219s	already early what an unbelievable
13221s	engage from college they do
13222s	clean him up but
13224s	killing iris like that not too bad
13226s	spawns are so close for the outlaws and
13227s	the effective range the anna's gonna be
13229s	quite close and okay piggy now
13232s	they just don't have the healing with
13233s	ears going down they don't have the
13234s	healing to sustain through the damage of
13236s	the san francisco shock but they're
13237s	slowly finding pigs and with the spawn
13239s	advantage they should be able to get
13241s	control of this con of this bot lucio
13243s	soldier versus lucio soldier there for a
13245s	brief moment violet dies he got booped
13247s	away
13248s	by lastro okay ts1 now in control of the
13252s	outlaws
13254s	san francisco shop take the lead by 20
13256s	meters they're in the advantage and you
13258s	can tell kalu's trying to hold as much
13260s	space as he can they have the ability to
13262s	dictate the dive once again they need to
13265s	go in they need to try and find an
13267s	isolated ear but lassro has that sound
13269s	barrier as soon as the shot goes
13270s	aggressive
13272s	i expect to see the sound back nice
13273s	bubble onto pelican the teleports to the
13275s	high ground
13277s	okay the robot's now moving that wall
13279s	forwards
13280s	violet building up to him towards his
13281s	beat maybe the san francisco shock back
13283s	off just a little bit wait for violet to
13285s	get that online he's got it now meteor
13286s	strike used violet primed and ready
13289s	would that beat if anybody
13291s	falls low proper once again moving that
13294s	payload all the way back the owl's gonna
13297s	have to do something like about this
13298s	they're trapped in this small corridor
13300s	right now last year with those hands of
13301s	steel still holding on to that sound
13303s	barrier they can keep playing aggressive
13305s	keep moving the bar forward
13307s	trying to find their pick pelicans going
13309s	in with the nano pelican nano but
13311s	instantly slept by fin again
13313s	straight to the back prop is not there
13314s	to clean it up this time but i think
13316s	they're going to be more than happy with
13317s	that pulse bomb on to last stroke but a
13319s	perfectly timed beat to make sure he
13322s	survives and nano on tequila he's in the
13324s	back line
13325s	two kills for the nano visor make that a
13328s	third kilo
13329s	cleaning up the san francisco shock they
13332s	held on to that position for so long
13335s	and made up so many ultimates and just
13337s	bowed their time there was nothing the
13339s	outlaws could do it was so tough for
13341s	them to move into that position because
13342s	kilo was on the high ground kilo and
13344s	finn being able to stay on that high
13345s	ground san francisco shock are actually
13346s	happy just sitting back waiting for it
13349s	the houston outlaws get a little
13350s	aggressive and kilo punishes them
13352s	piggy's coming up to another graviton
13354s	surge
13355s	he needs to get more value than he did
13357s	last time but the san francisco shock
13359s	they're actually happy with keeping
13360s	their advantage they don't want to walk
13362s	in to this trap from piggy with the
13364s	graviton surge and just happy to concede
13366s	space
13368s	he's getting zero energy and how does
13369s	that happen how does violet get married
13372s	wow getting caught that's going to be a
13373s	freaking fight win but piggy's going to
13375s	try and turn it around yeah he is he's
13376s	going to try but he's joe okay
13379s	almost failed kilo took so much
13381s	punishment there in the grab the healing
13383s	station the nades everything almost
13385s	saved him but he gave enough time to
13386s	collusion take care of the backline
13388s	pelican antis and now colluge in a 1v1
13392s	final finishing off piggy and the sharks
13394s	still moving that payload the outlaws
13396s	can't really find an avenue right now
13398s	scott to attack it feels like they just
13400s	don't have enough they're stuck between
13402s	two stones of wanting to go in with
13403s	pelican on that reaper but play back
13405s	with merritt on that soldier so they
13407s	can't really do either of those san
13408s	francisco shock playing full flawlessly
13411s	dealing with that graviton search
13412s	pelican with the death boss i'm going to
13414s	try and get into the back line of the
13415s	san francisco shot and get a punish
13417s	violence in trouble though wow
13419s	okay fighter almost went down teleport
13421s	to the back bubble on top finn she's got
13424s	the sleeve and it's ready oh no no quite
13426s	quick enough
13428s	the death bottom wasn't even needed finn
13429s	was already dead but it at least secures
13431s	the kill
13432s	collusion falls in the shock yeah
13435s	they're just dying on
13437s	the payload
13439s	and the outlaws once again gain control
13440s	but scott they got 35 seconds to gain
13443s	20
13445s	meters and shock are going to have a big
13447s	fight coming up next nano visor vs nano
13449s	visor we've seen this tale so many times
13451s	in the kickoff clash generally that the
13453s	person who goes first gets the advantage
13456s	are the san francisco shot going to play
13458s	aggressive or are they going to stay
13459s	defensive like they have so much in this
13461s	map already
13463s	chugger by ground control
13464s	proper
13466s	ready with the pulse bomb outlaws need
13468s	something special over time here in a
13469s	couple of seconds
13471s	nanowrister versus nanovisor kilo versus
13473s	merit who gets the better of the
13474s	positioning he's hunting he wants to
13476s	find a platform onto this backline
13479s	they're ready to rock and roll you can
13480s	see iris just placing his crosshairs
13481s	straight over merit they're ready to go
13483s	with this now advisor waiting for kilos
13484s	maybe probably first nano vices for both
13486s	teams kilo in the back line already
13488s	killing iris but no kilo shut down
13491s	miracles violet off the back end of that
13492s	two they're playing so far back shock
13494s	had to over extend over time is here and
13496s	the outlaws are pushing the houston
13498s	outlaws they're pushing it in we're in
13500s	overtime right now they only have 10
13501s	meters to go they are likely to get this
13504s	advantage are the san francisco shock
13506s	going to try and get greedy and hold
13507s	this cap right here or they're going to
13508s	try and have the overtime they're going
13509s	in early they need to contest proper has
13511s	the pulse bomb they're jumping down on
13512s	the low ground and finn with the 1v1
13515s	just takes care of marriage he does die
13516s	but with a big stick absorbed into
13519s	piggy's bubble but piggy has a grab he's
13521s	so close to using it he gets one but
13524s	close with a defensive old dimensions to
13526s	kill off piggy
13528s	the defensive sports from shock is so
13530s	good scott but last row with the b might
13532s	be able to see them through
13534s	one more meter to go the shock have to
13536s	stay on the card they cannot get off of
13537s	this otherwise the houston outlaws will
13539s	win violence dead three percent towards
13541s	the beat that was the tool they needed
13542s	but finn comes back with more vengeance
13544s	but looking forward and proper staying
13546s	alive on this point the healing station
13549s	is going to be good
13550s	and the san francisco shock trying to
13552s	make their stand but lastro says
13555s	with the beat he's gonna be important
13556s	right here he needs to get back to the
13557s	point of drop it he's got it he hits
13559s	three kilo kalouge they're gonna be good
13562s	for the time being i could lose with the
13563s	power up punch does get stunned he's in
13566s	the back line a massive size big slam
13568s	but finn's still managing to find the
13571s	kills
13572s	over time ticking down pelicans gonna
13574s	come back with the blossom he gets
13577s	absolutely nobody as proper still
13580s	cleaning up there's one there's two
13583s	make that a third overtime disappearing
13586s	and the shock eliminating outlaws
13590s	the composure from the san francisco
13592s	shock they get onto the point stairlife
13595s	for just long enough and hold the
13597s	houston outlaws with one meter remaining
13601s	you can see the shock on the shark's
13603s	face that is the moment where your blood
13605s	is pumping and they manage to get
13607s	through
13610s	the outlaws defeated
13612s	the shock advance
13614s	their next opponent the dallas fuel
13618s	it's going to be a tough day but they
13619s	are warmed up
13621s	what a fantastic win from the shock a
13624s	team that started quite slow
13626s	in the battle for texas at the battle
13628s	for texas that won't happen anymore
13630s	unfortunately in the kickoff clash
13633s	they've losing a couple of maps every
13634s	series to start them off and then they
13636s	eventually got primed and ready a very
13638s	different tale here
13640s	you can't be upset a few of the houston
13642s	outlaws you've had you've had a good run
13644s	having to meet the san francisco shock
13646s	in the lower bracket that's always going
13648s	to be difficult they pushed them to the
13650s	edge they were so close to closing out
13653s	that map but it is just not enough and
13655s	unfortunately their kickoff clash ends
13657s	there but if you're the san francisco
13659s	shock
13660s	you're not done for the day
13661s	you have to face the dallas fuel
13664s	later in the day and they're gonna have
13666s	to reset because they did falter from
13668s	time to time they need to come in strong
13670s	because this is not the dallas fuel that
13672s	has been struggling this is a new dallas
13674s	fuel showing up today
13676s	[Music]
13677s	can the san francisco shop do it they
13679s	were number one seed undefeated coming
13681s	in
13681s	against the number two seed in the
13683s	dallas fuel
13684s	the gladiators in the bracket too
13686s	like this is a
13688s	unbelievably stacked last couple of days
13691s	[Applause]
13693s	whoever wins that one as well is gonna
13695s	have to move on to the grand final
13697s	we love collegiate overwatch here an
13699s	absolute banger of a match by these two
13702s	teams but it only just begins here we
13704s	got more coming up today
13707s	we do indeed
13709s	with them winning hey they did get
13711s	knocked down to the lower bracket but
13714s	they're still raring to go time to
13715s	prepare for their next match we have
13718s	danny down on the floor though with
13720s	colluge for some final words
13724s	thanks guys yes i am here with
13726s	a scary tank player kaloush from san
13729s	francisco shock what's up
13733s	all right we got to talk about that last
13734s	fight that was that was a crazy
13737s	overwatch what was going through your
13738s	head when that whole thing was going on
13740s	i just don't see nine i was freaking out
13742s	about who's gonna touch proper stayed
13744s	alive for the longest i think i've ever
13746s	seen someone stay alive like an ot fight
13749s	that guy is insane at the game so
13752s	i think you're insane at the game too
13753s	right guys
13755s	i'm all right
13756s	you're all right
13758s	i mean and also i we have to talk about
13760s	your uh your doomfist as well it's
13762s	something that i think a lot of us or we
13764s	haven't really seen san francisco shock
13766s	use you guys were mainly a more winston
13768s	dive heavy uh team but then today you
13770s	guys rolled out with the three of us and
13771s	you guys were looking really nice is
13773s	that was that sort of your secret weapon
13776s	or was that something that you came up
13777s	for the kickoff clash
13779s	uh well i was just bad at doom for like
13781s	months and then the week before i
13784s	started to get good and then today
13785s	krusty was like oh you're just gonna
13787s	play doom everywhere i was like all
13788s	right whatever man i'll lock it and do
13790s	good on it
13791s	and then just so you just you're bad at
13794s	it and then all of a sudden you're just
13795s	like all right i'm good he just threw me
13797s	in and told me to swim pretty much and
13799s	it worked out all right and of course we
13802s	have to talk about your next match i
13804s	mean not this one but later on you guys
13806s	are going to go go up against the dallas
13808s	fuel
13809s	and
13810s	uh edison said you know
13812s	he didn't really care who the huey
13814s	played because they were sure that they
13815s	were going to win what are your thoughts
13817s	i mean they're a really strong team the
13819s	zarya reaper comp i feel like we
13821s	can play around it we know how to play
13823s	against it as long as we stick to our
13825s	game plan i think we'll be able to beat
13826s	them
13827s	all right guys that is it for kaloush
13829s	kalose thank you so much for your time
13831s	casters back to you guys peace
13836s	cheers danny yeah edison said he didn't
13838s	care at all uh who he faced
13840s	now he knows their opposition and both
13842s	teams warmed up already played a match
13844s	uh
13845s	both and played the match already today
13846s	so
13847s	maybe an upward till battle for the san
13848s	francisco shock but they've seen they've
13850s	seemed
13852s	revitalized like brand new you don't go
13854s	two maps down anymore you only get one
13856s	map down at the very beginning of the
13857s	series and then you come back let's hope
13859s	for the dallas fuel match they go no
13861s	maps down at the beginning of the series
13863s	very humble performance from college
13865s	phenomenal on that doomfist krusty
13867s	cooking it up just throwing him on the
13868s	doomfist recognizing that the winston
13870s	probably would not work against that
13872s	doomfist it does feel like that counter
13874s	so great play by the san francisco shock
13876s	but as you said jack they're not done
13878s	they got another big match against a
13879s	very different team in the dallas field
13882s	the dallas fuel might want to be a
13883s	little bit scared though of this man our
13886s	player of the match propper
13889s	that guy had some unbelievable stat
13892s	lines like 10-0 on iconvalda he had 20
13894s	final blows
13896s	on uh on the map after that on route 66
13899s	like
13900s	there's nothing stopping this guy and
13902s	there's a reason why so many people have
13904s	them in their mind have them in their
13905s	minds
13906s	mvp rookie of the year mvp
13908s	his tracer is just absolutely incredible
13910s	his ability not only to get the kills
13912s	but to stay alive and make himself a
13915s	threat is so valuable and he's just
13917s	always moving around the map offering so
13920s	much mvp performance once again for him
13922s	today
13924s	he's gonna need to come up big against
13925s	the dallas fuel because tracer does feel
13927s	like one of those things that can get a
13929s	lot of value against the zaya
13930s	compositions it really can't but it's
13931s	trades performance already today looking
13933s	absolutely stellar
13935s	i want to see more from him i really do
13937s	look at that like pulse bomb attack rate
13939s	61
13940s	two and two and a bit deaths per 10
13943s	11 and a half on the blows per 10 like
13945s	that is insanity and that's just the
13948s	thing that i was saying the deaths at
13950s	only 2.7 per 10 minutes that's just so
13953s	impactful just consistently having that
13955s	threat and then being able to weave that
13956s	in with the 11.5 final blows absolutely
13959s	incredible i don't know if you can win
13960s	both rookie and mvp in a season but he's
13963s	definitely making a case for it well if
13965s	he carries on this performance he may do
13968s	that
13969s	scott
13970s	we're going to take a quick break
13971s	because we've got the atlanta reign
13972s	versus the la gladiators up next i'm
13974s	excited for it the crowd's excited for
13976s	it i bet you guys at home are excited

14180s	welcome out to our game break what a
14183s	match we've just been treated to over in
14186s	texas so let's break it down with the
14188s	help of reinforce as well as necro let's
14192s	talk about how the san francisco shock
14194s	got it done collusion gave himself a
14197s	very humble
14198s	uh in his post-match interview uh
14201s	basically making it seem like he only
14202s	just recently picked up the doomfist
14206s	maybe he wasn't out of here
14209s	so good at it
14210s	i mean it really really really worked
14212s	for them about that i'm still i'm still
14214s	sweating uh from that last fight there
14216s	negra that one just went on forever
14220s	yeah i i mean oh my gosh i wasn't sure
14223s	if uh san francisco was gonna could just
14227s	completely take it home there our
14228s	houston outlaws we're gonna bring it
14230s	back if we would go to a map five it was
14232s	absolute insanity but honestly just the
14234s	entire match was just so fun to watch
14237s	right off the bat we did see the houston
14239s	outlaws try this uh sombra pick but i
14242s	will take a page out of avril's book and
14245s	quickly call that hero pp poopoo um
14249s	that you know they made it work on
14251s	on uh you know
14253s	ilios didn't really work out the way
14255s	that yeah that they think they wanted it
14257s	to on eichenwald
14259s	so we really started to see the shock
14261s	turn it around there as they were able
14264s	to continue to isolate iris's moira
14267s	which really did take a bunch of that
14269s	healing and support off of the board for
14271s	dante's doomfist that was something that
14273s	we wanted to keep an eye on for the
14275s	series and unfortunately you know
14278s	he uh the san francisco shock were able
14280s	to suss that out and take it out so it
14282s	wasn't as big of a threat but they were
14284s	honestly great moments from both of
14285s	these teams like merits of reaper put in
14289s	so much leg work pelicans tracer was
14292s	such a treat to see go up against
14294s	propers and this was just such a fun
14297s	match to watch
14301s	i actually reinforced being in physical
14302s	play and re-watching some of those clips
14304s	but yeah i have to say like both teams
14306s	really really showed up today so even
14308s	though the outlaws are out i think just
14309s	like the mayhem they went out with a
14311s	bang it was a good performance uh
14313s	despite the maybe the end score not
14316s	quite showing how close some of those uh
14318s	fights and and maps yeah very important
14321s	no i mean absolutely crazy match i i
14323s	think this was one of the best match
14324s	i've seen in all tournaments like
14326s	honestly it was so close the entire time
14328s	between these two teams i feel like
14330s	either houston or san francisco could
14332s	clutch it out um kilo was obviously so
14334s	important for the san francisco shock
14336s	this match because he was a dive target
14338s	for the houston outlaw so you want to
14340s	reach the soldier and they played more
14341s	defensive you can see the the statistics
14343s	yourself 9.1 final blows for 10 minutes
14345s	2.8 tactical visor kills per 10 minutes
14348s	non-advisors coming clutch when you're
14350s	playing against compositions like
14351s	tracers like reapers you have this long
14353s	range advantage right and so kilo even
14356s	though he died quite a bit i mean that's
14358s	gonna happen like if when you play
14359s	against a doomfist tracer and reaper
14361s	that's gonna happen as a soldier but i
14363s	wanted to point out kilo because
14364s	obviously he was a focal point of san
14367s	francisco's shock strategy um when it
14369s	came to like hiding in the house and i
14371s	came all the way under the entire
14372s	strategy which is like going to the
14373s	house and we hide and we put down the
14375s	hill and we're going to stand around it
14377s	um or similarly on route 66 when there's
14379s	just like huge sight lines right that's
14381s	when the soldier really favors out
14383s	versus the reaper and the tracer so i
14384s	think hilo did a great job on this audio
14386s	today uh being very important for the
14388s	show
14389s	absolutely now i am i'm i'm excited we
14393s	we've got so many good games already
14395s	this tournament so i'm just certain that
14397s	we're going to continue in that fashion
14398s	now our next match will be fought out
14400s	between the atlanta reign and the la
14402s	gladiators this is a semi-final match so
14405s	we're going to decide who will be
14406s	waiting in the grand finals and before
14410s	we're going to talk about this game we
14411s	actually have an interview over in texas
14414s	with danny
14417s	thank you so much zoe yes i got hunter
14420s	here the assistant coach of los angeles
14422s	gladiators hunter how are you doing
14425s	very very good two you know pretty easy
14427s	matches to get us here so far and you
14429s	know hopefully a third very very soon
14431s	i i just want to say i'm a big fan i'm a
14434s	big fan of everything that you get every
14436s	day every day i mean yeah let's talk
14438s	about yesterday's match it was against
14439s	the dallas fuel i'm going to be honest a
14441s	lot of people predicted dallas to win
14443s	but you guys were the winners yesterday
14446s	did you expect that win were you
14448s	surprised at all
14449s	i mean i pretty much always expect to
14451s	win when we play i'd say dallas is
14453s	probably like the scariest opponent at
14455s	this whole tournament so beating them
14456s	with you know relative ease that's a
14457s	pretty good indicator for like the rest
14459s	of what we have going on here
14461s	all right i mean you guys gladiators
14463s	right now are looking really really good
14465s	you guys are looking really strong what
14467s	do you think
14468s	is the biggest strength for the
14470s	gladiators right now
14471s	uh glads is biggest strength for sure
14473s	we're really really flexible so you know
14475s	we've got a lot of one-trick teams here
14477s	they do literally one thing every single
14479s	time and you know we're not really like
14481s	that at all far more versatile than
14482s	anyone else here
14484s	true that do that all right one final
14486s	question you guys will be going up
14488s	against the atlanta reign very very soon
14490s	and i i do know that that was your
14492s	former team as well so
14494s	do you have anything to say for atlanta
14496s	rain because i know when you were you
14497s	had a lot to say for houston outlaws how
14499s	about for this team
14501s	i got a lot of respect for the rain
14502s	genuinely but i also you know i
14504s	sincerely hope that they miss me
14506s	i'm
14507s	guessing they do i hopefully i hope we
14510s	think that they do as well anyways
14512s	hunter thank you so much for your time
14513s	that's all for the interview so zoe
14516s	i miss the truck bye
14519s	back to you
14521s	we miss you too danny we miss you too
14523s	and andre you're just gonna make them
14525s	miss you that's right that's the mission
14527s	for this next match exactly what a guy
14530s	so much so much alpha energy in in
14533s	literally everything oh he's just so
14535s	honest though he's just speaking the
14537s	truth you know it's like yeah we're
14538s	quick to win like you can't you can't
14540s	hate on that he's just telling you no no
14541s	you can't being old you actually can't
14543s	also i'm just
14544s	uh
14546s	his entire uh how do you say that the
14549s	the the very australian look to him with
14552s	the with the uh
14554s	all that haircut
14557s	he's the name for it right necro help us
14559s	out here
14566s	yeah i don't know about that one
14568s	that's all right whatever it's called i
14570s	like it and i kind of want it as well we
14572s	could get your fake mustache we can just
14573s	have fake music i can i can grow at a
14575s	massage
14579s	it's a look and and i like it uh no i
14582s	absolutely love hunter and everything he
14584s	has to say it's great to get a quick
14585s	chat in with him now obviously both
14587s	teams are coming in with confidence uh
14590s	you did uh pick the atlanta rain why is
14593s	that
14594s	i think this is a 50 50 flip like as
14596s	understand like gladiators so flexible
14598s	can play pretty much every comp at a
14599s	very high level and chemistry is a beast
14601s	but also the atlanta rain they've
14603s	impressed me with their star composition
14604s	and their doomfist composition and i
14606s	don't think they're gonna you know
14608s	fall easily if that's the case here in
14610s	this matchup i think they'll be coming
14611s	out fighting hard with both sorry and
14613s	doomfist and that's enough for me
14615s	that's it that's enough for him yeah
14617s	it doesn't take much for reinforce no
14619s	but honestly like so far the games have
14621s	been so
14622s	up and down and back and forth so yeah
14625s	it's literally everyone's place to win
14627s	it so let's see if the atlanta ring can
14629s	get it done or if the
14631s	is going to come out on top and move
14633s	into the grand finals we'll find out
14635s	after a very quick break so don't go
14637s	anywhere

14801s	[Music]
14824s	a place in the grand finals of the
14826s	kickoff clash is calling to one of our
14829s	two undefeated teams here in texas i'm
14833s	mitch leslie joined by matthew morello
14834s	for our final two games of the day and
14837s	this one sure to be an absolute giga
14839s	banger it's the elena reign the los
14841s	angeles gladiators
14843s	that's a good one uh i look i think a
14845s	lot of people expected the gladiators to
14847s	be in this position i don't think many
14849s	expected the atlanta right uh the
14851s	atlanta rain just kind of squeak in they
14853s	have a really rough ending uh to their
14855s	kickoff clash in the regular season you
14857s	know the stage matches uh but they've
14859s	looked great since we got here to dallas
14861s	yeah i mean i think they it was a bit of
14862s	a rockiest start right that match up
14864s	against the mayhem and we saw how
14866s	map-dependent their performance seemed
14867s	to be until gibraltar rolled around and
14869s	the story was kai obviously going above
14871s	and beyond on that widowmaker then the
14873s	san francisco shock were in their way
14875s	and we thought okay i mean we knew san
14876s	francisco looked a little bit shaky they
14878s	may have shaken off some of those
14880s	jitters by now but not before they got
14881s	rolled by the rain no and we've seen a
14883s	different look from atlanta rain here
14885s	this weekend we've seen them play a
14887s	little bit more the zarya comes we've
14888s	seen them play gator and play some
14890s	reinhardt style uh we've seen venom a
14892s	little bit more in to play some of the
14893s	tracer a much different look and i think
14895s	it was og the other day during the
14897s	interview with danny said that that's
14898s	really one of the biggest things they
14899s	changed coming into this weekend they
14901s	really went back looked at some of the
14903s	comments they were playing decided they
14905s	weren't in the right position to win
14906s	they've changed some of that and it's
14907s	paid off hey i'm just said the same
14908s	thing about his team that's one of the
14910s	exciting themes of this match with their
14911s	flexibility so what look do we get at
14914s	the atlanta rain to start with let's
14915s	find out let's bring them out onto the
14916s	stage make some noise for the atlanta
14920s	raid
14922s	[Applause]
14923s	[Music]
14930s	all right there's the blue cap it's a
14931s	dead giveaway
14932s	gator going to be starting here
14935s	at tank
14936s	you see venom also in this starting
14938s	lineup right so already the game plan
14940s	starting to take shape here for the rain
14943s	atlanta is a team that plays off with a
14944s	lot of confidence right you know
14946s	advancing this far i think they got to
14947s	feel pretty good about that but these
14949s	early maps in these series they're able
14951s	to get an advantage
14953s	definitely be huge for the remainder of
14955s	it gator it tells you it's going to be
14956s	probably either no reinhardt or
14958s	winston-based gameplay uh so that'll be
14961s	a bit of a tell for the la gladiators
14963s	yeah look the winston has really looked
14965s	very very good for gator i think he's
14966s	you know obviously managed to turn that
14969s	into a legitimate threat which means the
14970s	atlanta reign has no shortage of options
14974s	and again they're gonna need it against
14975s	the gladiators we just heard from hunter
14976s	saying i genuinely don't think anyone
14979s	comes close to us in terms of the
14980s	flexibility the adaptability that we
14983s	have the gladiators came into this
14985s	tournament with that the rain had to
14986s	find it throughout their games but
14988s	they're both here
14990s	yeah it's the gladiators
14992s	and they under completely have the
14994s	lineups to be able to play everything
14996s	all right it's time to bring out the
14998s	reigns opponents looking strong and
15001s	plenty of strong words as well it's the
15003s	los angeles gladiators
15014s	and what i agree with hunter is they can
15017s	play everything with really not making
15019s	any substitutions right you look at i
15021s	know maybe patty pan uh owl for aunts
15024s	and that's really about it i mean they
15025s	want to play some of the bragita they
15027s	could bring in skewed who was tremendous
15028s	last year reiner has showed he's able to
15031s	play pretty much all of the tanks
15033s	just a all-star lineup top to bottom
15036s	it's really hard to find weak this year
15037s	right we've obviously got you know an
15038s	interesting matchup between venom and
15040s	kepster kester who has been frightening
15043s	ever since he joined this team remember
15044s	he was playing remotely with the
15046s	gladiators for quite some time they had
15047s	a picture of bloody genji instead of him
15049s	because he didn't have a chance to get a
15050s	photo taken with the roster as soon as
15053s	he touched down in los angeles
15054s	i mean the script completely flipped on
15056s	this team and they've only gotten
15057s	stronger this year bringing orina in
15060s	still having space as an option if
15062s	needed
15063s	yeah i mean they still have space you
15064s	know if like steve ever became the meta
15066s	uh fantastic diva player to be able to
15068s	bring in i feel like kept sir as well
15070s	like we talked about like proper and
15072s	pelicans had sick moments like
15074s	kepster on the tracer has just been
15076s	unreal and i think it's almost become
15079s	like it's become so normal for him to
15081s	play that well that it's like not as
15083s	special anymore
15084s	but his play on just about every hero is
15088s	like top five in the league like the guy
15089s	is just absolutely insane
15092s	and patapon as well someone who received
15095s	a little bit of criticism early on
15098s	this tournament has been especially good
15100s	definitely someone to be watching out
15102s	for obviously coming across from valerie
15103s	here you know making the choice to to
15105s	come into professional overwatch once
15107s	more straight onto the gladiator's
15108s	roster and it feels like this guy really
15110s	hasn't missed a beat
15113s	really hard to uh i mean there's a lot
15114s	of great one-to-one match-ups across
15116s	roles uh in this head-to-head and again
15118s	kai still looking to make an impact on
15120s	any of those longer-range hit scan picks
15122s	well i was just going to say that right
15123s	kai we saw him play the widowmaker the
15124s	other day and really i think it was
15126s	against hydra right like dominate the
15128s	game
15129s	you almost can't pick that if you're
15130s	atlanta because
15131s	the gladiators they bring in they bring
15133s	in skewed like like if you were to look
15136s	at like widowmaker players and then
15137s	brigitte is the league like those are
15138s	two of the best in those positions right
15140s	so if your ball comes around you expect
15143s	to see that yeah oh without a doubt it's
15145s	uh ilios will be the first man
15147s	in the set loser picks from there on out
15151s	yeah like you mentioned the gladiators
15152s	so hard to find a weakness with this
15154s	team
15155s	that we've seen them play just about
15157s	everything now and play it at a high
15159s	level they seem to also pick up new
15160s	compositions pretty fast when they bring
15162s	in the reinhardt with the may that type
15164s	of look
15165s	they seem flawless
15168s	so the gladiators
15170s	again hunter really
15172s	hopes that the rain and missing he also
15173s	tweeted out coach diff
15175s	last time they played so
15177s	you know he's more than happy to talk a
15178s	little bit of smack which is just as
15180s	well because we know what the rain
15181s	have had to say on many of their last
15184s	showings nice to hear from emoji after
15186s	their previous map you know i mean
15187s	definitely a level-headed individual
15190s	touting the flexibility of the atlanta
15192s	reigns this is two teams who think
15194s	they have all the answers
15196s	well there's one question left
15198s	which of these two will it be advancing
15200s	through the upper bracket to our grand
15201s	finals ladies and gentlemen the atlanta
15203s	reign and los angeles gladiators
15207s	both teams will come out with a
15209s	winston-based look at the start so so a
15212s	lot of teams when you see gator in you
15214s	think about the reinhardt you're like
15215s	the winston are you that worried about
15216s	it but he's played pretty good on the
15218s	winston in this tournament
15220s	yeah definitely not a weak point anymore
15222s	i think it's safe to say
15225s	trade with quiet length early here i
15227s	need healing shoot him with the body
15229s	grenade this will slow the gladiators
15230s	down no doubt oh my god catches some
15232s	strays as he tries to back up it's the
15235s	rain who trying to establish themselves
15236s	on the point first here means that you
15239s	know shu might have a decent body
15240s	grenade line up if he wants to get
15242s	aggressive with that but batapan trying
15243s	to dodge god knows what gets caught in
15245s	the crossfire yeah it was ultraviolet it
15247s	actually hits a sleep dart on to ryder
15250s	kai comes in cleans up three
15253s	i think he could be the difference maker
15254s	in this series uh we talked a little bit
15256s	about it you know on the widowmaker
15257s	right avonce comes in but when you play
15259s	these soldier heads ahead i think venom
15261s	is a really good tracer player like do i
15263s	think he's better than kepster no but
15265s	can he like kind of keep him at bay i
15266s	think possibly kai's aim at range though
15270s	is just unreal that
15272s	he starts to heat up it's it's really
15274s	difficult to start i mean his aim is
15276s	just incredible that i think he could be
15278s	a huge difference on the 76 specifically
15281s	data trying to play in a neutral
15283s	position here now look at the pressure
15284s	right and down who doesn't have line of
15286s	sight i love the vertical jump up here
15287s	this will allow ultraviolet to lock him
15289s	up and heal him
15292s	although it won't be any more pressure
15293s	for the gladiators for now they just
15295s	don't look like kebster was really there
15297s	to join up with ryder
15298s	that's why enough he was over dealing
15300s	with gate a nice pulse bomb there to get
15301s	rid of the enemy winston and then i'm
15302s	also trying to harass you forced to
15304s	recall though is the honest seem to be a
15306s	little too strong for it again
15307s	ultraviolet gets a kill they're going to
15308s	nano visor and try and push in
15311s	there funny astro
15313s	lucky slept on the other side of the
15314s	wall just breaking line aside from that
15316s	explosion but kind of getting rid of
15318s	shoe with that tactical advisor there
15319s	nice predictive healing structure but
15321s	funny asteroid was just able to get out
15322s	of the blast radius
15324s	venom gets rid of reining here but kai
15326s	can't stay alive even inside the biotic
15328s	field paddock hitting all the shots and
15330s	funny astro isn't long for this world
15332s	either it's 57 plays 21 with the
15334s	gladiator still in control and patapon
15336s	won't be able to retake
15339s	and he uses visor there and the counter
15341s	there is a sound barrier and they run
15343s	him down oh gee and venom just run right
15345s	at him he takes so much damage has to
15347s	back up as a little bit of percentage
15350s	there gained by the gladiators but
15351s	atlanta getting off to a hot start no
15353s	ultimates coming into this next fight so
15356s	this one is going to be huge for the
15357s	gladiators you're able to take this
15359s	you're in a good spot
15362s	right unfortunately matt that he didn't
15363s	use the the primal rage at the very
15365s	least there but the shield dance is
15367s	absolutely won by ultraviolet
15369s	unfortunately he's rewarded with the
15370s	helix rocket to the gob so already what
15372s	he was looking for and the gladiators
15374s	able to move in tight pointed obviously
15376s	that sound barrier allows them to do it
15377s	a bit more aggressively
15380s	atlanta is going to get close to 99 so
15382s	you're in one fight territory here for
15384s	the rain
15386s	come back as soon as that sleep dart
15387s	actually onto oh gee they get the first
15389s	call on ultraviolet then og gets slept
15391s	and you're able to pick up that kill
15392s	quite easy so i think the thing you look
15394s	at here no supports online for the
15396s	gladiators like can venom laying a pulse
15398s	bomb on one of these supports
15400s	be a game changer they're all on the
15402s	high ground i think that was a defensive
15403s	grenade for atlanta rain and rhino
15406s	turns ultraviolet into a octogenarian
15408s	pancake
15410s	here's the primal data well it might
15412s	have been now escaping but the damage
15413s	was just too much there
15415s	right now able to solidify gladiators
15417s	control here
15418s	yeah there's nothing you can do when you
15420s	lose your honor that early into the
15421s	fight before any type of fight actually
15424s	even kicks off so
15427s	come back try again here is ryder's
15428s	going to go aggressive okay what a stick
15431s	ty going to be filmed by that one an
15433s	ultraviolet loops away from the blast
15436s	heads are looking to make some follow-up
15437s	here looking for that mini health pack
15438s	but he is pale and hardy his gator is
15441s	anything but the gladiators now starting
15443s	to build a bit of momentum here looking
15445s	to run away with it yeah i mentioned how
15447s	big venom's pulse bomb would be throws
15449s	it in and doesn't connect with anything
15451s	so
15452s	you see the difference between keps are
15454s	able to connect
15456s	then i'm not able to do so now you're
15458s	gonna be in last fight territory with
15460s	the gladiators an opportunity to steal
15462s	this first round
15464s	chew is in position
15465s	for this nano funny asteroid took a big
15468s	hit there
15469s	forced to vacate his gator he gets it on
15471s	the point
15474s	needs to decide on a different nano
15476s	target it's gonna be a rhino to be
15478s	receiving that one here's a sound
15479s	barrier now from og but ultraviolet
15481s	already went down to kepster not a good
15483s	sign for the atlanta reign and khan is
15484s	right salvage the jew shuts him down
15488s	fight him with the blow dart and catch
15490s	up dealing with og's the pulse bomb to
15491s	follow up not even needed on gator and
15494s	while the rain did flip the point back
15495s	that completely run out of players here
15498s	and so the atlanta reign will bask in
15500s	the golden hour of overtime ticking down
15505s	extremely close first round between
15507s	these teams
15508s	nice sleep dart from ultraviolet on a
15510s	panty pen that allows kai to pick up the
15512s	kill but kai has to go into the middle
15514s	of the map try and pick up some more
15516s	damage pick up some kills for the team
15517s	because he's a large source of their
15518s	damage and he just leaves ultraviolet in
15520s	a one-on-one against cancer where but no
15523s	sleep dart there's not much of a chance
15526s	some can he play from ultraviolet in
15527s	that previous round especially when a
15529s	rhino came knocking
15532s	unfortunately once that sleep does
15534s	expended you are out of options switch
15537s	up here to the more aggressive
15538s	composition of course more mobility for
15540s	ultraviolet he's probably getting pretty
15541s	sick of being dove
15543s	so off to the morrow we go
15546s	it's a little bit of a modified rush
15548s	here with the moira
15549s	reaper tracer combination but not with
15552s	the reinhardt you're gonna play with the
15553s	doomfist
15554s	like really we saw this from houston as
15556s	well yeah
15559s	all right jada wants to try and stake
15561s	his claim to that left-hand side of the
15563s	map early
15567s	ultraviolet soothing
15570s	the doomfist here are going to be
15571s	trading at length i mean they're going
15573s	to do this man
15574s	we it's not the first time we've seen it
15576s	he normally obviously hawk called on to
15578s	uh perform that role sometimes the map
15580s	dictates
15581s	that the doom must come in regardless of
15583s	the pilot yeah and it's going to be
15585s	atlanta taking the point first just kind
15587s	of bullying the gladiators back and just
15589s	like lose talked about i think a lot of
15591s	these maintain players are going to have
15592s	to learn how to play that doom that's a
15594s	big kill though first as og falls yeah a
15597s	little bit too close there to pad upon
15599s	it an easy target for that helix pulse
15600s	one doesn't connect here gaiter was
15602s	looking dangerous but another helix from
15604s	paddy all secured get another kill
15609s	so you're just gonna have both boards on
15611s	the point three from three four atlanta
15613s	yes uh the end of this fight gonna look
15616s	quite ugly as the gladiators flip it
15618s	back in their favor
15619s	without really having to use much of
15621s	anything they're gonna come up here for
15622s	the gladiators you're gonna have that
15623s	nano visor meteor strike to stay alive
15626s	sound barrier
15627s	you're down by a lot now but you're in a
15629s	position to pull away
15632s	attack advisor here for panapan the only
15634s	soldier 76 on the map presently in a
15636s	pain for kai to deal with who doesn't
15638s	get a zaga bubble so closing the gap
15641s	on a soldier 76 is a little bit more
15643s	than just basic map
15647s	and upon sound barry now it's time to go
15648s	for the attack visor he says ultraviolet
15651s	crumples
15653s	looks like oh geez gonna be able to get
15654s	away for the time being it was his sound
15656s	barry they gave him that sort of
15657s	durability but that's a terrible feeling
15660s	for the atlanta rave you spend so much
15662s	in that fight and you still get actually
15663s	dumpstered yeah you use coalescence and
15667s	sound barrier there your pulse bomb and
15669s	it gets absolutely nothing just kind of
15671s	ran over that point is uh venom is
15674s	pretty far behind enemy lines i think
15675s	they have an idea about this
15677s	said atlanta wants to get back at the
15678s	point by fast
15680s	illiman to the right
15683s	fortunately they have a sick reaper
15686s	pulse bomb thrown down there rakai
15688s	though more than just a little infirm
15689s	he's back in spawn that is able to find
15692s	shoe though with the medial strike tough
15693s	for arnold to get himself out of that
15694s	area of effect and still the gladiators
15696s	are i'm not gonna lie they're easing
15699s	right on into this matthew with the rain
15701s	losing that previous fight after support
15703s	ultimates came out they have very little
15704s	left to call upon yeah is this uh this
15707s	composition in just kind of what
15709s	into what the gladiators are playing
15711s	it's just not looked effective
15712s	whatsoever the 76 able to just sit here
15714s	in the back
15715s	poke down players at range you're not
15717s	able to close the gap effectively and
15719s	then even if you do close the gap you're
15720s	so weak kept running around finishing
15722s	players off this is not looked good for
15725s	atlanta on this point it's go time for
15727s	the atlanta reign they've got to create
15728s	an opportunity here kai
15730s	trying to force an opening
15732s	but it's forced to back up their
15733s	ultraviolet take it down and paddle
15735s	he's causing problems there's nothing
15738s	the right to do about this either
15740s	cool as a cucumber
15743s	and the atlanta reign are indeed trouble
15745s	that's over time now and the gladiators
15747s	ever so comfortably take map one
15751s	i gotta say you've given 76 that much
15753s	space
15755s	especially one as good as panapan i mean
15757s	you are just
15758s	asking for a result like that it's uh
15761s	that no just no pressure on them all
15763s	game he's able to just sit back it's
15765s	like a firing range out there there's
15767s	some trash talk in the chat
15769s	gator doom ggs so
15772s	kev's to saying close one guys but
15774s	they're right the atlanta i normally
15775s	have hawk in for those kind of duties
15777s	and maybe it showed a little bit there
15779s	as the gladiators were very comfortable
15781s	with that setup they're looking to sweep
15783s	the rain away and save some energy for
15785s	the grand final tomorrow let's see what
15786s	the plucky boys in red have to say after
15789s	the break

16101s	see josh from here his head is shining
16104s	there needs to be a light source that's
16106s	on it
16107s	reflect
16108s	it's a nero in for venom uh you're gonna
16110s	have hawk coming in for
16112s	gator there's a lot of people in town
16114s	this weekend a lot of esports going on
16116s	here in uh dallas the titles on the
16119s	wildcats here this weekend as well it's
16120s	pretty dope yeah i mean we got wow we
16122s	have dream hacks yeah lots of people
16124s	here great time to be here in dallas no
16127s	doubt about it hawk coming in for gator
16129s	the atlanta reigns saying right well if
16131s	there's any more doomfist required
16133s	here's our man and they picked king's
16135s	row i believe so we saw them play this
16137s	the other day they ended up uh playing
16140s	some zarya-based compositions and and
16142s	doomfist as well on defense in this
16144s	matchup reiner was constantly taunting
16147s	hawk to mirror the reinhardt
16150s	so uh keep an eye out for that
16153s	again
16154s	we've seen teams that like you know
16155s	trying to play winston-based defenses on
16157s	this that's really hard but once you
16158s	lose a player you get forced out of line
16159s	of sight you get bundled up into that
16161s	back corner behind the elderworth hotel
16163s	it's not it's not a great time
16166s	very interesting to see uh what the
16167s	gladiators go for i think sort of try
16169s	and go for this ryan patapan is in here
16171s	they can they can go for like my base
16172s	compositions if they want to i'm
16174s	interested in what teams ought to do on
16176s	the defensive side of things
16178s	uh defensive doom sometimes uh
16181s	it's really difficult to play uh it
16183s	looks like that's what i'll see from the
16184s	rain
16185s	early on potentially with nero on the
16188s	genji so
16189s	a little bit more burst access to the
16191s	high ground
16194s	this could be easily counterable though
16195s	we'll see what
16197s	the gladiators decide to pull out they
16199s	could they could play the doomfist like
16201s	a doomfist match up right you can play
16203s	the winston here there's a lot of
16204s	options
16207s	yeah nero obviously
16209s	a substitution here
16212s	a ton of options
16213s	when it comes to his hero pool so
16216s	genji
16217s	gonna be the option here now
16219s	all right so you see a baptiste here for
16221s	sure makes me wonder about what tank we
16223s	actually get from the glads aha yes as i
16226s	thought
16228s	it will be reinhardt
16230s	oh no no
16232s	it'll be the win so what are they scout
16234s	that makes them make this change
16236s	i think it's possibly the doom and genji
16239s	combo that's like kind of nasty against
16240s	the reinhardt like just being able to
16243s	get in get out make the reinhardt spin
16245s	around players everywhere the 76 on the
16247s	high ground
16248s	gotta play something that's uh can
16250s	access high ground a little bit easier
16251s	is uh reiner just looking for a target
16254s	now they know where kai is playing on
16256s	their 76th
16259s	capture needs to wait for a little bit
16260s	here as reiner is the priority for
16262s	healing
16265s	okay wow he sees nero kai both looking
16267s	pretty low but just goes face first into
16269s	a biomate yeah and then you got to
16271s	follow that up if you're nero doesn't
16272s	matter if you maybe have to trade
16273s	yourself there it's probably going to be
16275s	worth it hawk goes down though patapan
16276s	is in a pretty safe line of sight
16279s	punishes hawkers he tries to establish
16281s	some presence on the point here
16283s	again kepster has to be fairly
16284s	conservative again dude just make some
16286s	space and let panapan go to work patapon
16289s	on the 76 has come up with so many kills
16292s	on helios right it was a lot of first
16294s	bloods coming from him i know 2k 3ks and
16297s	then here being able to open it up with
16299s	two kills is that is point a taken
16302s	already for the gladiators all while
16303s	playing really safely i mean with hawk
16305s	going down so early there's no mechanism
16307s	to threaten the soldier
16309s	nero's not gonna do it the genji is not
16311s	going to cut it especially because it's
16312s	just all in there's no way getting out
16314s	if you don't get elimination and biotic
16315s	field makes it really hard to get a dash
16317s	reset
16320s	and you look at the roster if the
16321s	gladiators play this good they're going
16323s	to be difficult to beat for anybody
16325s	regardless of region uh
16328s	panapan red weekend guys are here okay
16331s	look at california clash in the final
16332s	dallas make it through if they can it's
16334s	still going to be tough pulse bomb there
16336s	delivered hawk is going to be able to
16337s	get away but it forces the rain again to
16340s	seed territory in kenster looks to take
16342s	advantage ultraviolet left in the wake
16344s	of his team and kept just snaps him up
16346s	but hawk waits for panama
16349s	punishes him for that slightly more
16350s	aggressive positioning
16352s	i like the idea from atlanta though use
16354s	the beat and try and get nero in a
16356s	position to maybe take out reiner stop
16358s	this payload progress they're not able
16359s	to do it though so the payload will keep
16362s	moving here for the gladiators
16364s	reef is a little bit of a wrinkle for
16366s	the gladiators now especially as rhino
16368s	needs to be a little bit more careful
16369s	about how he chooses to start these
16370s	fights kai a lot of pressure on him
16372s	ryder trying to get right in his face
16373s	but it's going to be the attack visor
16374s	nonetheless nanoboost gives it that
16376s	little bit of oomph and funny astro and
16378s	panopam will
16381s	that'll be a crumble win for the reign
16383s	they needed that badly they needed to
16385s	stabilize a little bit here
16388s	should have primal rage come in
16390s	for the gladiators it's the only thing
16391s	across the board both teams dump tons of
16393s	ultimates into these fights kemp's are
16395s	probably able to build up a pulse bomb
16396s	here so
16398s	see how they decide to use this primal
16400s	maybe trying to dislodge that 76 from
16401s	the high ground
16403s	again we're still seeing teams opter go
16405s	for a reaper even without azaria
16408s	nero knows that he can just be very
16409s	punishing and will limit reiner's lines
16412s	of approach
16415s	so what the setup is here comes to
16417s	trying to work towards that pulse spot
16419s	you can get any higher ground control
16420s	i'll be very pleased we'll have to get
16422s	past both supports look at him joining
16423s	up with reiner there goes him for the
16425s	dive tie a little bit low rider stun
16427s	those hawk is going to try and come back
16429s	and help no he fell onto it
16432s	ultraviolet just fell onto the pulse
16435s	can't stop looking like this is just
16436s	another day in the office but that was
16437s	just ridiculous
16440s	i mean that's what i mean by cancer has
16442s	become
16443s	he's kind of like ascended to this level
16445s	kind of like almost like we're like
16446s	profit right like he's so good you just
16448s	kind of
16449s	you just
16450s	when he makes a
16454s	so
16455s	that'll be that second checkpoint four
16457s	minutes plus
16458s	in the time bank here
16463s	man the gladiators
16465s	no defense here
16467s	a little bit of defense from atlanta but
16469s	not good enough it's minimal nano visor
16471s	here coming up to
16473s	nero back to the high ground there
16475s	panapan got defensively by the grenada
16476s	but then the nade comes in from uv still
16478s	powder pump wants to play aggressive
16480s	there's a reaper in his way and a sound
16482s	barrier in play
16483s	oh man he's gonna force a lot of these
16485s	rain players out of those lines of sight
16487s	and basically that sound barrier
16489s	just let the rain not get wiped
16492s	yeah this will be attack visor in
16494s	response as atlanta needs to go they
16495s	need to press forward they're able to
16497s	get two kills really a perfect
16499s	engagement there from hawkey he gets a
16501s	great stunt up against the wall and
16502s	that's what opens the way for qaeda
16504s	serge ahead
16505s	if you're able to just stop a map
16507s	completion here for if you're the
16508s	atlanta reign you are so happy with how
16511s	this ends up turning out because
16513s	the first two points were brutal i mean
16515s	you just got ran through and uh you're
16517s	able to stop it now you're in a good
16518s	spot as reiner now will move over to the
16520s	doomfist as well for those that don't
16522s	want to squint as we often do with the
16524s	gladiators on the attacking side it's
16525s	254
16527s	for them
16528s	still a decent amount of time to play
16530s	with
16531s	and again helena reign a lot of their
16532s	eggs on that high ground
16535s	that's a nasty second kyle might have a
16538s	direction of ultraviolet there he thinks
16539s	better of it ultraviolet is able just to
16542s	clear the area but kept is far from done
16544s	that sound barrier means he can run
16545s	directly at uv he must know that there's
16547s	no sleep dart available forces defensive
16549s	body grenade there from ultraviolet nero
16552s	trying to space paddock away
16555s	cleans him up here it looks like the
16556s	rain will be out of hole for the time
16557s	being
16558s	and even though they're behind right in
16561s	terms of time i really i've liked how uh
16563s	og has played this map really into in a
16566s	great spot all the time that lucio able
16567s	to speed boost and get players in
16569s	position to make a play in that time him
16571s	and nero get into the back line they're
16572s	able to deal with both supports
16575s	of the gladiators so big play of the
16577s	lucio from the atlanta reign and you're
16579s	gonna have hawk now going over the zarya
16581s	so these are some of the switches we see
16583s	teams go through with this tank matchup
16586s	again it means you know the reaper was
16588s	already working for you with that that
16590s	defensive utility
16591s	now you can back him up and allow him to
16593s	play a little bit more aggressively the
16594s	reaper can now like almost front line
16596s	for you at this stage once you have
16597s	those bubbles for yeah feels like having
16599s	two tanks once again stick is there hawk
16602s	though durable enough that doesn't
16603s	really bother him
16605s	capture down by kai on his way there
16608s	will be atlanta reign able to stabilize
16609s	once more and again they've burned about
16611s	two minutes all right all right funny
16613s	asteroid funny she's just fine all right
16615s	see you on reddit
16618s	he's gonna be careful yeah i mean he's
16619s	going to stagger
16620s	and that's the red lucio experience yeah
16623s	good trade ultraviolet in the chat yeah
16625s	that was not
16626s	an auspicious moment for funny astrology
16631s	that's exactly what somebody would say
16632s	in your rank that's what you
16646s	los angeles not able to come up with an
16648s	answer here and
16649s	maybe their troubles being compounded by
16651s	the presence of hawks zarya
16653s	there is another advisor here
16657s	the zarya is able to play a little bit
16658s	more defensive and bubble some of the
16660s	support sound
16662s	response to the visor this is good they
16664s	got to get on the car though now that is
16665s	a quote unquote good trade it's two
16667s	ultimates for one
16668s	atlanta reign also choose to nano kai
16670s	who doesn't find anything as the glads
16672s	are well and truly disengaged by that
16673s	point but we're running now under 30
16674s	seconds left in the round
16678s	needs to continue to pressure it's
16679s	kevster that'll be cooler to follow up
16681s	on this damage but astro sound barry's
16683s	gonna be good ryder was put to sleep so
16684s	that's gonna keep him alive for just a
16686s	little bit longer and there it is
16687s	finally they drop the shield take up the
16689s	sword and plunge it into the heart of
16691s	the rain that's a completion
16692s	[Applause]
16696s	funny asteroid laughing
16698s	if you're the atlanta reign i'm actually
16700s	not that upset they complete the map but
16703s	only 10 seconds in the time bank with
16705s	the way it was going
16707s	i mean you're not obviously not the
16710s	ideal scenario right but it could have
16711s	been way worse it looked like it was
16713s	going to be way worse so atlanta able to
16715s	battle back a little bit on defense
16717s	set themselves up to potentially uh
16720s	come back you know i'm not sure if i'm
16722s	sold uh what did that say she was my
16725s	biological father okay well i mean
16728s	credit to him
16729s	i would have a kid and continue doing
16730s	this let's hit danny over there and
16732s	investigate
16734s	what's this maury poppage
16735s	[Music]
16739s	yeah we've been uh we've been lucky to
16741s	have the shoe shoe train for a little
16742s	while now
16744s	and again baptiste in this round for
16746s	sure it'll be the reinhardt composition
16748s	for the gladiators
16751s	and they're going to play really close
16752s	to choke here
16753s	with that ryan we can take a look from
16755s	kepster's pov
16759s	come on bro it's a bit unlucky
16763s	you know they say it's good luck if uh a
16765s	bird poops on you right that's the old
16767s	dodge i think that's just that the same
16769s	person i don't know i think they're
16770s	trying to take the sting out of the fact
16771s	that you just got put on right yeah
16773s	that's one of those situations you're
16774s	very lucky ultraviolet same guy who came
16776s	over losing his learning came up with
16778s	the
16778s	bird
16779s	is good it's all alone but just sure
16782s	oh man okay here we go
16784s	later right now need a map completion at
16787s	the very least
16790s	well with this composition you can
16792s	completely avoid the run right
16794s	i mean with the claddier set up at the
16795s	high ground we've seen this just not
16797s	work before
16798s	holding the right in this corner yeah i
16800s	mean you have all the information
16803s	yeah so it'll be a hawk going into the
16805s	high ground here
16808s	not on your screen they're just
16810s	you just have like nero trying to put
16812s	some pressure here on the right as hawks
16813s	able to get up there they can play on
16815s	the 76. last time this happened the team
16817s	gave up two in a bit ticks here so they
16818s	respond quicker
16820s	pad upon throwing up a bit of a privacy
16822s	curtain
16825s	oh that was a nice booth that was oh
16827s	that was insane hawk comes in there with
16830s	the knockback unclear if hoji was
16832s	involved the nero says right oh well
16833s	i'll just add some damage to the pile
16836s	again that defensive set up
16838s	absolutely ruined
16840s	and maybe you want to play this because
16841s	you want to keep it going into the
16842s	second point like i think this is where
16844s	in the street space this reinhardt with
16846s	the may becomes more effective uh
16849s	because right there it was not good uh
16852s	really just
16853s	no defense there
16854s	atlanta picked it apart they knew
16856s	exactly how to play against that and get
16857s	the payload moving
16860s	just the start that we're looking for
16861s	especially when they want to be
16862s	finishing this map with some time bank
16864s	either way it's going to be a little a
16866s	little squeaky
16867s	if we get a extra innings this is a
16870s	perfect area though for the may and the
16871s	reinhardt right with the walls to
16873s	separate players off and the reinhardt
16875s	can just start swinging through big damn
16876s	here yep that's the wall hawk's gonna be
16878s	caught on the wrong side of it right
16880s	here with the body grenade though and
16881s	that immortality field will go and there
16883s	won't be enough healing for rhino by the
16884s	looks of things yeah it's to get run
16885s	over by nero
16887s	disastrous turn of offense for the the
16889s	gladiators who still trying to make this
16891s	reinhardt cop work
16893s	yes they end up knowing nero before he
16895s	even had the blade able to pick up a
16896s	kill then build up towards it is
16904s	keeps going up
16907s	see how the gladiators decide to play
16908s	this it looks like they want to stay on
16910s	it i mean you're going to have the
16910s	blizzard uh
16912s	what was it in the series the other day
16914s	nero is able to deflectable so basically
16915s	in this part of the map as well so
16917s	look to see uh kind of a hero play crazy
16920s	scenario i mean you're hoping that again
16921s	this isn't just some cost fallacy with
16924s	this reinhardt composition the
16925s	gladiators are you know unwilling to
16927s	switch it this time they need to make
16929s	this work hawk just circumvents reiner
16931s	entirely jumping into the back line
16932s	nero's blade has to deal with an
16934s	immortality film first and he's waiting
16935s	hungrily for shu to touch the ground and
16938s	he gets rid of him there
16940s	panapan's blizzard claims ultra
16941s	ultraviolet though the gladiators still
16942s	have so running this fighter nero caught
16944s	out the open salutes him
16946s	sign of respect as he heads back to
16947s	spawn
16948s	it's going to be just about everything
16950s	dumped in for the gladiators who do win
16952s	that fight kind of hold serve a little
16954s	bit on defense here but they're not set
16956s	up for this next fight though can't fly
16958s	out with the doomfist
16960s	and secure you that second checkpoint
16962s	the best use of
16963s	shadow here for rhino is probably just
16965s	looking forward yeah or whipping one on
16967s	hawk as he goes overhead
16971s	pretty
16972s	pretty conservative set up early for kai
16974s	here
16975s	some shield pressure on rhino is
16977s	probably what he's looking for
16980s	ryan i had that shattered now
16984s	here goes hawk there it is yep whip one
16985s	on the doomfist the charge wasn't there
16988s	though ryder has other fish to fry
16989s	apparently he's here with that biotic
16991s	grenade but the follow-up is good and
16993s	the biotic
16997s	you're just trading damage there if
16999s	you're the rain because you're trying to
17000s	build up this nano quite fast and then
17002s	use the nano with the visor as opposed
17004s	to
17006s	they're just kind of going in with the
17007s	visor and not really having anything
17009s	else i mean i like to know what the
17010s	winrate is with nano visor especially
17012s	your unanswered nano visor it's got to
17014s	be strong i mean you just bully through
17016s	against the reinhardt though maybe
17018s	it's a little harder to get value out of
17020s	have to be there's some high ground here
17021s	you can just like almost shoot over the
17023s	rhino though right
17025s	doesn't mean you're you may be lined up
17026s	for
17028s	someone like shoe
17030s	okay goes over it's going on a flank
17035s	near under pressure this guy is so
17039s	filthy kion a blank right now he
17041s	actually uses the visor
17044s	nero catch the deal so this shoot backs
17046s	up still has a little bit of this
17048s	amplification matrix to work with
17050s	guy just rolls straight on through here
17052s	direct fighting a drake helix rather and
17054s	kept us in trouble he's in deep trouble
17056s	oh you want him sir
17059s	getting kind of there might well be
17060s	worth it and you have a few trades it
17063s	looks like og gonna go back try and get
17065s	some players onto the card nero's to
17067s	make his way back
17068s	looks like players like gladiators for
17070s	treating as well trying to get that
17071s	spirit yeah yeah attacks him back
17074s	he might have a slight window here for
17076s	the rain as uh they're gonna get back to
17078s	the payload they're gonna make a little
17079s	bit of progress
17080s	it could be honestly like another
17082s	reinhardt shatter under the doomfist
17084s	yeah try and shut hawk down give your
17086s	backline a couple of seconds at least
17087s	right and an easy sleep dart connection
17089s	onto the doom right you just just throw
17091s	the snake dart on the downs doomfist
17095s	let's put their forces briefly they're
17096s	looking to try and shut down that flank
17097s	contempt
17100s	skittering away runners sleeping right
17101s	now blizzard ultraviolet can't get out
17103s	of its hawk trying to save or at least
17105s	find a trade but he gets stuck in the
17106s	blizzard himself and the sound barrier
17108s	for the gladiators means they go hard
17114s	well look
17116s	sometimes it's more about sending a
17117s	message right
17119s	well message received
17122s	going for a ride here
17125s	things were looking actually pretty good
17126s	for the rain right near the first point
17128s	taken they get a first fight here early
17130s	uh but since then absolutely nothing and
17133s	like i said this is where the reinhardt
17135s	count pays off maybe played on this
17137s	point eight you just trying to gain some
17139s	ultimates gonna have some of that going
17140s	into that second part of the map because
17142s	this is where it's really effective with
17143s	the main it's go time it might have to
17145s	be a naked dragon blade from nero
17149s	to get his team in a winning position
17150s	here
17152s	14 seconds remain
17154s	nero undoubtedly is going to be looking
17156s	for a way to flank here
17158s	get an advantage without a nano boost
17161s	shu has a matrix powder part a little
17162s	low has to ice block early
17164s	there might be something there looking
17166s	for the may and nero has it ryan is
17168s	sleeping on the job right now deflect
17170s	there to stop the hammer swings and this
17171s	is a play with no nano nero goes for two
17174s	ties back on the hanzo here trying to
17176s	get rid of funny astro who's looking to
17177s	stall the card
17179s	a very low economy scenario for the rain
17182s	and then come out on top
17185s	can you challenge us one more time it
17186s	doesn't look not like uh yeah
17189s	yeah yeah bunny astro and there's no
17190s	switch to the doom yeah so you're gonna
17192s	let this one go in for the gladiators so
17194s	the rain still with an opportunity and
17197s	because they didn't invest too much into
17198s	that like you mentioned they're going to
17200s	have this nano the nano probably for
17202s	either nero or hawk here you imagine
17206s	what do you make about the patapon genji
17208s	switch
17209s	i think they're just trying to put more
17210s	pressure on this hanzo right
17214s	trying to control high ground or at
17215s	least contested if you're not gonna play
17217s	the rhine you're not gonna play the mate
17219s	in this situation
17221s	all with the switch up here hawk doesn't
17223s	have to power block in this position
17224s	because he gets killed by a punch from
17226s	right yep there it is
17227s	swift strike dash through
17230s	hawk really in the doom mirror doesn't
17233s	want a power block in the open for any
17234s	reason no the genji also is better for
17237s	the gladiators in this position because
17238s	you can control that high ground a bit
17239s	better especially when you have two
17241s	players on the other team with the hanzo
17243s	and the genji and even no hawk on the
17245s	doom right who can get that high ground
17247s	access so the genji allows you to chase
17249s	down some of those kills put a little
17250s	bit more pressure on that high ground
17253s	29 seconds left
17256s	just a completion for the reign would be
17257s	enough to give them a shot right
17260s	medial strike shoe trying to get out of
17262s	that area of effect no dark chance there
17265s	hawk's going to knock him up against the
17266s	wall and okay just fighting rhino
17268s	apparently
17269s	this puts the reign within striking
17271s	distance of the gladiators record but
17273s	los angeles is going to come back out of
17274s	the gates with the sound barrier to
17276s	match that of og what can kai get done
17278s	with this dragon strike the placement
17280s	here is going to be crucial you can see
17282s	what he's thinking man here we go he's
17284s	going to use it early on it's going to
17285s	back them up they're going to have to
17286s	wrap all the way around to the other
17287s	side of the spawn
17289s	oh ryan walks straight into a body
17290s	grenade as well funny ass throw too late
17292s	on the sound barrier atlanta has one of
17294s	the wrong going the gladiators are still
17295s	looking to fight og wants a piece of pad
17297s	apart here right now and he's stuck with
17299s	the narrow from kai as he's letting him
17301s	fly across the map oh gee looking to
17303s	power forward here he gets rid of funny
17305s	astro in the rain
17307s	get the map done it's a 10 second
17310s	difference that's a huge clutch though
17312s	by the atlanta rain to bring that back
17315s	able to secure at least an overtime
17317s	scenario here
17318s	so i really like the use of that dragon
17320s	strike right they get the sonic arrow
17321s	they see they're all kind of grouping up
17323s	there they want to get the effect of the
17324s	sound barrier out together they use a
17326s	dragon strike they're forced to wrap all
17327s	the way around and you can actually
17329s	predict that which they did and it's the
17331s	ultraviolet biotic grenade that hits
17333s	rhino right on the out the door
17336s	limiting the option options for the
17337s	gladiators really making it a very
17338s	simple
17340s	case of
17341s	door angle door b for the land of rain
17345s	so this is going to be a little hectic
17347s	the gladiators tried the reinhardt
17348s	defense it was
17350s	not good
17351s	at all
17352s	again if they want to have a chance here
17354s	in this overtime scenario maybe go with
17355s	something a little bit more try a little
17357s	bit more true
17359s	and i don't think you can afford to play
17360s	this uh the reinhardt on defense the
17362s	gladiators coming out with this doomfist
17366s	because obviously you do not want to
17367s	allow the atlanta ring to get that first
17369s	point which kind of looks like you
17370s	almost gave up last time and just push
17372s	on forward just that reincarnate defense
17375s	okay again screen results must be very
17377s	different with that setup but it looks
17378s	pretty easy to
17379s	outmaneuver i also don't think it's
17381s	intended to full hold a point a i think
17383s	it's more intended to
17385s	now you can fight on the point you can
17386s	brawl out on the point a little bit
17387s	better uh right it's gonna make it
17388s	harder on the high ground but without
17391s	the case you might even see it here
17392s	though right
17393s	now
17394s	bleeding clock is your objective yes but
17396s	you don't want to give this up like i
17397s	think a lot of the time you're going to
17399s	give it up and then really lock down
17400s	that streets with the reinhardt where i
17403s	don't think you want to play that type
17405s	of game here
17408s	okay atlanta rain are going to take
17409s	about 15 to 20 seconds just to be set up
17412s	here and the gladiators want to make
17414s	sure the rain only have one opportunity
17416s	and this is not there's not a fight
17418s	that's going to involve any ultimates
17419s	this is going to be pure fundamentals
17421s	positioning and looking for the first
17423s	pick great boob there for mojo that's
17425s	going to deny rainer
17426s	here's a chance for the rain oh my
17429s	three player biotic grenade
17431s	that's going to slow them up again
17433s	17 seconds
17434s	and they got over the biotic ready
17435s	that's huge doofus now down for the los
17438s	angeles gladiators in the atlanta right
17440s	have been able to circle around them
17441s	they've got a high ground position to
17443s	work from but they still need to capture
17444s	the point
17445s	someone's going to work on it right now
17447s	and that's going to be one tick for
17448s	atlanta hawk moves off it here though
17452s	okay back to the point now they're
17453s	looking maybe just to secure this fight
17455s	but captures found ultraviolet at kai
17458s	that's two are there more in the future
17460s	of this tracer player the atlanta reigns
17462s	spring forth they get the reinforcements
17466s	and they send the reign packing
17469s	it's a funny astro and cancer put so
17472s	much pressure there on the ultraviolet
17474s	and kai
17476s	funny actually just so elusive on the
17477s	lucio so difficult to track down
17481s	you see looks across that kebster
17482s	they're probably laughing about that as
17484s	they were able to
17485s	win that 2v2 with relative eases kev's
17488s	are able to pick up those kills i think
17489s	it also is quite big though mitch that
17491s	atlanta they'll get two ticks out of
17492s	that right 68
17494s	pretty decent here
17498s	don't make me saddiots please well
17503s	maybe you should have skipped the first
17504s	four seasons
17507s	hey hey hey
17509s	i didn't lie
17511s	i didn't lie
17512s	i was just saying look the gladiators
17515s	are awesome now
17516s	this was a little rough for a bit don't
17518s	give it to him crowd look
17521s	this is the best gladiator team they've
17522s	ever had like in the past they have
17524s	looked like roster wise that
17527s	they would be that good right but
17530s	they've been sadiators at times where i
17531s	don't think you're gonna see that this
17532s	year i think this is a team that has way
17534s	too much talent to go backwards uh
17538s	like
17539s	the fact that they have aunts and skewed
17541s	on the bench is just like what i mean
17544s	they'd be starting on every other team
17548s	not a doubt about it now 68.3 percent
17551s	was going for the atlanta reign so it's
17553s	actually more than two ticks
17555s	the gladiators need a pretty convincing
17557s	fight win here this is far from certain
17562s	see hawk did a really nice job on the
17564s	last time on offense
17566s	with the duke fists let's see how it
17567s	works on them oh okay well kai just able
17569s	to get padma that's hugely they don't
17571s	have a ton of time on the clock the 10
17573s	second lead they had is basically gone
17574s	at this point that's the worst possible
17576s	picture i think that you could have seen
17578s	how to pass the player they can actually
17579s	put pressure down and potentially force
17581s	a mistake
17584s	not the end of the world but the
17585s	gladiators need a clean fight win three
17587s	players on the point
17590s	so see they gotta get reiner to the high
17591s	ground they gotta try and make a play
17592s	here
17594s	again was clutch in that last fight what
17596s	can they do here
17598s	all right og no no they sleep
17600s	ultraviolet range
17601s	oh okay that's it ryder gets in there
17604s	ultraviolet is removed and that's the
17606s	lions just use the pun share of healing
17608s	goal from the atlanta reign nero trying
17610s	to teleport to the high ground ryan is
17612s	gonna snarl hawk right on up here and
17614s	remember two ticks that's all the
17616s	gladiators needed hawk jumps on in and
17618s	just flattens cancer but he in turn will
17620s	be forced to succumb to the high ground
17622s	goes rhino sends kai up upstairs
17625s	and that's the gladiators two
17637s	[Applause]
17638s	ultraviolet on the high ground and then
17640s	a sick biotic grenade at range connects
17643s	with hawk and ultraviolet they're able
17645s	to get the kill that is a game-winning
17647s	play there from shu that is nasty not
17649s	the first time that shu has absolutely
17651s	taken matters into his own hands this
17654s	time was subtle but my god it was
17656s	effective
17657s	now the atlanta reigns are on the
17659s	precipice of being sent down to that
17662s	lower bracket the gladiators would
17663s	advance
17664s	map number three ladies and gentlemen
17666s	definitely not one you ought to be
17668s	missing
17675s	[Music]
17676s	hmm
17681s	[Music]
17686s	[Applause]
17698s	foreign
17698s	[Music]
17734s	[Applause]
17737s	go

17754s	hey
17757s	[Music]
17765s	[Applause]
17773s	[Music]
17775s	we're clear for takeoff
17783s	[Music]
17804s	[Music]
17809s	[Applause]
17809s	[Music]
17816s	oh

17875s	[Music]
17886s	[Applause]
17891s	now
17894s	[Music]
17897s	we're clear for takeoff
17900s	[Music]
17915s	[Applause]
17917s	[Music]
17920s	it's on the high ground what do they do
17922s	here shu has taken so much damage he's
17923s	been pushed down to the low ground and
17925s	the aggression is just enough that's
17927s	going to be havana going to the
17928s	gladiators and we are going the distance
17931s	here shoe what is that that is so good
17935s	from
17935s	what a beast in the backline wait wait
17938s	it was getting pushed off the point it's
17939s	still winnable
17943s	it doesn't even come out mclaren is
17944s	coming back no way
17947s	this is huge and the gladiators squeak
17950s	over the line
17952s	that that's how you get those insane
17954s	statistics
17958s	shoe is just absolutely insane oh he
17961s	gets shut down
17962s	finds it nero he's in shock
17964s	what a brilliant performance for an mvp
17967s	candidate here
17969s	take a sip of your milk or whatever that
17970s	was you deserve it and what's going
17973s	through my head over and over is that
17975s	ant matrix play from shoe
17979s	[Music]
17989s	you have got to be kidding me
17992s	[Music]
17995s	it's with an uncanny frequency that it's
17997s	you who steps up with these individual
18000s	moments of brilliance to clutch rounds
18002s	out it happened last year happened
18003s	before that and here's yet another one
18005s	to add to the history books and it's
18007s	rare that you know when you see uh a
18009s	player on another team right and you're
18011s	like oh man that player is sick when he
18013s	was on guangzhou right i think everybody
18014s	still knew like this player is going to
18015s	be nuts so let's take a look at this the
18018s	sandman cometh
18022s	oh just like clips him right on the
18024s	outside and then the biotic running that
18026s	comes in here is just enormous
18029s	look at the attempted body block here
18031s	but oh the timing yeah it gets both ryan
18034s	all he has to do is play a quick visit
18036s	he just ding-dong dashes ultraviolet out
18039s	of the server
18041s	unreal
18042s	that is just actually in the in the
18044s	little b-roll like clips we had as well
18046s	he had another sleep dart basically the
18047s	same spot
18049s	skewed comes in now for funny astro
18052s	which is uh you know we've seen
18053s	obviously
18055s	the brig from skewed one of the the best
18058s	brigitte players in the league funny
18060s	astro by the way uh also extremely good
18061s	at brick yeah just not his role on this
18063s	team yeah it's not like he has a
18065s	lackluster break it's just you have one
18067s	of the best ones in the league and then
18068s	on's coming
18070s	it's uh
18071s	it's always scary when you see ons come
18073s	in
18077s	the inked up assassin
18080s	has landed again
18082s	we already have a bit of a feeling of
18083s	what we might see compositionally
18085s	from the gladiators and venom comes in
18087s	for nero here near us a lot of genji
18089s	from him venom definitely a tracer
18091s	specialist in every sense of the word in
18094s	your navigator come in so this tells you
18097s	we're gonna see probably some
18099s	winston-based stuff on the outside maybe
18101s	like a reinhardt but with the map pick
18102s	here from atlanta and it being dorado
18105s	you're looking at a lot of winston-based
18107s	compositions you're looking at
18109s	widowmaker play across the board we do
18112s	see a lot of the brigitta on a brigitte
18114s	on this map so that's why you see skewed
18116s	coming in as well
18118s	it'll be the same setup probably that we
18120s	saw the gladiator switch to if it were
18121s	gibraltar right they have a
18123s	opt for a pretty similar play style
18125s	there but kai's up to the challenge
18126s	right we get very excited because we
18128s	have um you know obviously a lot of the
18130s	best widowmakers in the west here at the
18132s	kickoff clash obviously we saw you know
18134s	the interplay between you know kai and
18137s	hydron with that matchup between the
18139s	reign and the mayhem
18140s	arms has
18141s	pretty consistently been put in that top
18143s	three right i think a lot of people if
18144s	they just had to go off the top of the
18145s	head you know the three of the top four
18147s	would probably include like happy kai
18149s	aunts would be in there right
18151s	yeah
18151s	it's it's tough to argue with how good
18153s	those players are on those long range
18155s	hit scan heroes not just little make
18157s	either like ash ash has seen some play
18159s	uh we know how good answers on that hero
18161s	but that real signature when she was
18164s	just played everywhere
18165s	i think you're gonna see the widowmakers
18166s	just basically locked in here widowmaker
18170s	with the tracer in play
18172s	with uh venom coming in for atlanta all
18175s	right you think he's going to be playing
18177s	the tracer most of the time it does give
18178s	the option for the gladiators because
18180s	kevs are so flexible to even play the
18181s	genji right when you want to access the
18183s	high ground on the second part of the
18184s	map
18186s	that's a good point
18187s	sometimes the tracer just doesn't really
18189s	cut it
18190s	if you want to be able to go upstairs
18192s	but this might be one of the gladiators
18194s	most nasty configurations here
18197s	in the atlanta rain putting gator and
18199s	venom back in to try and stave off a 3-0
18202s	dropping
18204s	again
18205s	down to the lower bracket they would go
18206s	and there are some very hungry teams
18208s	waiting for them there make no mistake
18211s	i also would say even if the brain loses
18213s	and
18215s	this has been a relatively close series
18218s	like uh you know the first point on
18219s	illios right went to like 99.99 pretty
18222s	much the second point
18223s	i think they just kind of like out got
18225s	comps just kind of rolled there but
18227s	the king's row was pretty close they
18229s	brought back atlanta like it didn't
18230s	start close no it's in circles but like
18233s	shoe doesn't hit that sleep dirt there's
18234s	not a guarantee that they end up taking
18236s	that map we could easily be going into
18237s	this as 1-1
18240s	should be no shock here to see kai on
18243s	the widow venom on the tracer
18246s	there will be more gator winston action
18247s	than ogie
18249s	on the brigitte
18250s	now can we see a teleport play from the
18252s	attackers normally just across the way
18254s	up into one of the buildings to
18255s	circumvent the frustrating sort of
18257s	rooftop play from defensive winston's oh
18259s	they actually put a tp shot up what is
18261s	this
18262s	oh they weren't ready for it at all ryan
18264s	is able to strike
18265s	straight to the heart and remove
18267s	ultraviolet
18268s	oh man that is confidence brimming
18272s	well so many teams play further back
18274s	there because they expect that teleport
18276s	to go all the way towards the bank and
18278s	guy goes no way as they tp straight up
18280s	to the high ground and just jump in and
18283s	start battling
18284s	so we have not seen any team do that is
18287s	that is such a smart strategy there for
18289s	the gladiators
18290s	just be out of disrespect as well to
18292s	jump straight into your face with the
18294s	composition that's usually a bit more
18295s	finesse base right you'd set up for a
18297s	while but this is just aggressive i
18299s	don't even think that's bm i think it's
18300s	just catching them off guard because a
18301s	lot of teams just play so lax at the
18303s	beginning because winston bubble comes
18304s	in the high ground and now you're kind
18306s	of scrambling makai with a headshot on
18308s	the shoe dancing right good opener there
18310s	aren't obviously gives him a tickle but
18312s	really not bothered by it no one is
18314s	doing anything about ryder in the back
18315s	line without you going down so early
18316s	ultraviolet had zero support
18321s	that's one of those plays at the
18322s	beginning of a map though that rattles
18323s	you pretty bad as
18325s	huh the car moving in reiner goes back
18327s	to just get some healing from shoe from
18328s	range
18330s	now they'll get everybody back
18332s	kyle will have another opportunity to
18334s	be the difference maker here ryan's
18336s	winston bubble a little frustrating
18340s	oh doesn't quite find the shot he gives
18341s	away his position to us now be pretty
18343s	crazy to repeat that and he still does
18345s	the third time lucky
18350s	is just murdering everybody it doesn't
18351s	matter i mean
18352s	he is in the back line just taking
18355s	people out dash reset after that reset
18358s	it's a biotic grenade that gets onto og
18360s	first he's the first victim and then
18362s	just starts dashing cutting everybody up
18364s	so is that the first teleport here as
18365s	well
18368s	they just go they've got a brigitte as
18369s	well so they know that proximity healing
18371s	is probably going to give him the edge
18372s	in that fight and the rain we're not
18374s	ready at all
18375s	you teased the cavs to genji
18377s	he's now built that blade there's a nano
18378s	to accompany him or rhino whichever this
18380s	is where he has a huge advantage over
18382s	the tracer being able to access this
18384s	high ground tracer like even his start
18385s	like overwatch one like certainly it's
18387s	never really been good on this part of
18389s	the map uh only selected when you know
18392s	she's just super strong which is usually
18394s	a lot of the time
18395s	pulse bomb dropped there
18397s	rhino was slept he's awake now he hits
18399s	primal just the right time og tries to
18401s	whip shot tonight capture away
18404s	nice movement there from og
18406s	the whip shot and then looks like he was
18407s	going to jump off the side and then uses
18409s	the shield to bash get back on top just
18411s	juke a little bit the best way to deal
18413s	with genji is to you know imply you're
18414s	gonna drop down or drop down and then
18416s	you know grapple back up it's
18417s	frustrating for him to try and chase you
18418s	and blade or baptiste will use his exo
18420s	boots as genji comes in supports gotta
18422s	live here though for atlanta
18425s	uh it's just a headshot after headshot
18427s	coming in from us
18431s	doesn't quite know where kai is until
18433s	now he sees a glimpse of him and reiner
18435s	is first of the fight
18437s	a lot of pressure on anser as he
18438s	grapples across the way but look at
18440s	rhino look at how much spacing he's
18442s	creating
18443s	it was really up to venom to try and
18445s	install the card there with reiner so
18447s	deeply embedded in his lineup another
18448s	good whip shop for emoji there to
18449s	intercept but still
18451s	ultraviolet has to play a bit of a
18452s	frontlining role here ryder slept jumps
18454s	away from the pulse bomb though gator
18456s	returns home
18457s	and then i'm really starting to get
18458s	pressured down there he's sort of skewed
18460s	shield bashes in this direction
18462s	is it ladies have been careful here yeah
18464s	atlanta really didn't get much out of
18466s	their support ultimates they use the
18467s	rally it just was enough to basically
18469s	keep og and ultraviolet up is kai with a
18471s	big head shot under skewed ants returns
18474s	one though yeah that's obviously an easy
18476s	shot for him to get rid of
18477s	venom there reiner is nano boosted he's
18480s	able to find ultraviolet with that kill
18481s	he can one thing two here especially
18483s	with the primal rage this could be
18484s	dangerous and of course kepster comes in
18486s	at the most opportune moment to secure
18488s	that fight gator will try and stall if
18490s	he can but that card got across the line
18493s	it's it's just the burst of the genji
18495s	and it has under the building have been
18497s	told that you probably can't use chat as
18499s	a coach midway through the game
18505s	incredible not the first to do it by the
18507s	way
18508s	krusty actually did it first at this
18509s	tournament
18512s	all right
18513s	kevster played
18515s	takes note of kai tries to go for the
18517s	one hit combo great buy out of the
18519s	grenade
18520s	it's just insta killed
18523s	there i mean animals falling out for the
18525s	ultraviolet just
18526s	just domed in there with the grenade
18530s	runner's primal is
18531s	it's not clear what he's hoping to
18533s	create here by the grenade follow-up
18534s	could be good gator and og are able to
18537s	shrug that off eventually
18539s	venom needs to connect this pulse bomb
18540s	the last one was a little wayward
18542s	and instead we'll settle just for
18544s	rolling over us
18546s	once goes to the 76 here with this area
18550s	of the map doesn't want to play that
18551s	widowmaker i still think he's so good
18554s	probably ken is kai gonna stay on the
18556s	widow
18558s	he's just looking for these one-shot
18559s	head shots as people come in
18562s	through these chokes has to be so
18563s	careful though as
18565s	kevster
18567s	[Music]
18578s	to make sure the kill is finished and
18579s	that's a big big error for not ideal
18583s	not the ideal positioning there
18585s	it's gonna have to be a rally here kind
18587s	of calls grapple bug i think he was body
18588s	blocked anyway but let's find the bite
18593s	ultraviolet here getting a bit of a
18594s	tickle from reiner who has that high
18595s	ground position now
18597s	still five to go in for the gladiators
18599s	they've got to make a move and it's
18600s	going to be the rally in response to
18601s	gator making the dive but reiner is here
18603s	with a bio name it's a finish off for
18604s	gator there is he can sort of back away
18606s	unlikely the follow-up will be there for
18608s	his bio and he just primals he says okay
18611s	we'll drag this out as long as you like
18613s	answers gonna dig a little bit deeper
18614s	and try and go for a tactical vise here
18616s	but how is he gonna bail shoe out of
18617s	trouble he doesn't have to
18620s	and they use the nano gear towards the
18621s	end once the attack visor is worn off
18624s	azan's looking for blood trying to push
18626s	up towards the spawn it's a minute and
18628s	45 on the clock the gladiators marching
18630s	the payload in doesn't want to over
18632s	extend but again kai is in a bizarre
18634s	position at catcher punishes him once
18636s	more
18638s	four players up for the reign right now
18639s	constantly short-handed in this fight
18641s	cancer wasn't able to deflect the bio
18643s	now but it doesn't matter she was there
18645s	for the assistance
18646s	90 seconds to work with on dorado
18649s	nothing to sneer at
18651s	that opening set play too from the
18654s	gladiators that allows them to take that
18656s	checkpoint a i think it just rattles
18658s	atlanta a bit
18661s	that allows them to complete the map a
18663s	minute and 20
18665s	minutes 32
18666s	in the time bank
18670s	yeah solid 90 plus
18672s	seconds for the gladiators here
18674s	and as
18676s	flashy as the rain can be it's pretty
18678s	unlikely to have anything to answer that
18680s	set play we saw from the gladiators
18683s	again you are dealing with the team here
18684s	in the atlanta reign that are pretty
18686s	hard to tilt do you just copy it
18688s	no i mean kai is just you can't believe
18691s	it yeah i mean to be fair like you saw
18692s	the positions he was emerging from
18694s	getting chased by kevstack that got his
18696s	number
18697s	kai was stunned when they went through
18698s	the tp he was so far back he was like
18700s	what in the world is
18702s	it looks like the supports i mean even
18704s	if they hit a biography there was no
18706s	living there everybody
18709s	who's coming through that tp is
18712s	now get to see aunts on the widow
18714s	on defense aunts against kai
18717s	so both widows i mean i don't think
18719s	anybody's really got the advantage over
18721s	the other they've both been able to just
18723s	pick players off
18724s	i think the difference has been
18725s	kepster's effectiveness on the genji
18727s	versus
18728s	the venom on the tracer
18733s	the atlanta reigns here
18735s	much like on king's row at minimum need
18737s	that map completion
18739s	well they are headed for the lower
18741s	bracket
18742s	the gladiators will cement their
18744s	title as the strongest team right now
18746s	here
18747s	time to deny it
18750s	they're being denied this tp play as
18752s	well
18752s	this could actually be a little bit of a
18754s	problem for them yeah reiner actually
18756s	plays up on that high ground and just
18758s	destroys the tp
18760s	so not able to get those supports on the
18761s	highway it takes a long time to destroy
18763s	that
18764s	the rain could have gone
18766s	yeah maybe have some shots at range here
18769s	i mean catch the hits with a question
18770s	mark in the chat even he's not too sure
18772s	what the game plan is here for atlanta
18774s	you know i speak about their resilience
18776s	mentally and i think they'd definitely
18777s	earn a title like that
18780s	but that was an interesting start to the
18781s	round and they've not really made any
18782s	headway into controlling this high
18784s	ground
18785s	this is how many teams take that
18786s	position that reiner was in as
18789s	makes it very difficult for the doors to
18791s	get on oh man
18794s	shot on the venom finish off from shoes
18796s	shoot
18798s	somebody
18800s	man
18804s	i mean
18805s	every time i see them stop i assume
18807s	they're typing something which wild is
18808s	for the most part atlanta has played a
18810s	pretty good series
18811s	i think the gladiators are just
18813s	they're taking a look
18814s	yeah this team's a long way ahead right
18816s	now
18818s	thinking
18819s	remind me that countdown cup form
18823s	again and they have this high ground
18824s	which the rain then they're not going to
18826s	switch to a symmetra to try and take it
18827s	now so now you see what happens when
18830s	teams have to play against this really
18832s	uh sort of positioning nice work by
18834s	venom there he can't go upstairs but
18835s	that's the weakness of tracy you can't
18837s	chase that kill
18838s	climb whatever oh god
18841s	say it so
18842s	and that's why you like the genji
18844s	instead of the tracer right because the
18846s	tracer can only access from that back
18848s	side
18850s	kyle i guess a dpi switcher on his mouse
18852s	to make it hard for us to hit his head
18854s	but then didn't realize that he was
18856s	headed on a one-way trip to the bottom
18858s	of the ocean and venom
18860s	finished by art this is starting to turn
18862s	into a bit of a cloud fiesta map
18865s	that's atlanta's been able to get
18866s	nothing going here
18868s	i think really just started from the
18870s	beginning of the game
18871s	it's even now kai trying to get out of
18873s	spawn kept sir like right up against oh
18875s	no
18876s	oh no primal rage not where you want to
18879s	be ultraviolet quick thinking and quick
18881s	feet to get him away but sure he's still
18882s	going to eliminate him
18884s	ryder doing most of the work now
18886s	the atlanta reign are in dire dire
18889s	strikes
18890s	and when venom tries to go towards that
18892s	back side to make a play for aunts it's
18894s	skewed there on the brigitte forces him
18896s	back with a recall and then ons to this
18898s	position
18899s	to wait for him again
18902s	infrasight would be available there as
18904s	well more likely that arn's holds on to
18906s	it
18907s	for when kai builds his if that is even
18909s	going to happen at this stage
18912s	god is scary
18914s	he's the blade and there's a violet
18916s	grenade thrown in there skews having to
18918s	find ultraviolet and kemp's is more than
18919s	happy with what he's got so far
18921s	phantom runs headlong into the blade
18924s	feeds himself to the wood chipper
18927s	in the reign of 45 seconds to make
18929s	something anything happen yeah they use
18931s	the nano on a gator is he chases down
18934s	once and it allows kai to pick up that
18936s	kill but
18938s	the dragon plate is so effective here
18941s	it looks like elena wants to go fast
18943s	they're going to use the in for sight
18945s	will he expect to answer back there it
18947s	is okay
18949s	so answers will time out about 12
18951s	seconds left in the round
18953s	venom here
18954s	oh gee just gets eaten
18956s	this is it
18957s	pulse bomb there thrown onto rhino not
18959s	the target that venom was looking for
18961s	the sleep dart from shoe is a little
18963s	wayward but i mean the smile on his face
18965s	tells the whole story matt this team are
18967s	a country mile ahead
18970s	they are just clicking on all cylinders
18972s	right now one second left
18974s	they get themselves some overtime but
18976s	who's gonna be left it's just oh gee and
18978s	the los angeles gladiators
18981s	book their ticket
18983s	to a kickoff clash
18985s	final
18987s	dominant showing here against the
18989s	atlanta right
18991s	just that
18992s	that last map was just a beat down there
18995s	from the gladiators
18997s	look like their spirits were broken man
18999s	and it's not over for atlanta right this
19001s	is the winner's finals you're gonna drop
19003s	down you still have an opportunity to
19004s	make that grand final and they get a
19006s	break yeah crucially right they get a
19008s	night to sort of sit and
19010s	try and
19011s	recoup after that utter drubbing
19014s	yeah i i think you just if you're
19016s	atlanta you just pretend like are you
19018s	going tomorrow pretend like this match
19020s	never happened you game plan for whoever
19022s	wins this next match coming up
19025s	and then you you know if you make it
19026s	back to the gliders you got to figure
19027s	something out some adjustments to me who
19029s	is coming even closer to the gladiators
19031s	right now matt think about who's in that
19032s	little bracket who might come out of it
19034s	can the devil's fuel put this team to
19036s	the test
19037s	i don't know man like from the from the
19040s	looks that they're able to do and the
19042s	one thing with dallas is they're pretty
19044s	readable in terms of what they're gonna
19046s	do depending on like which tank is in
19047s	the game which may actually lead you to
19049s	believe like maybe the shock is actually
19051s	a better uh chance
19052s	so this next match though is gonna be
19054s	really close i think i also think i
19056s	would not count atlanta out of making
19058s	that final atlanta
19060s	the the first map was relatively you
19061s	know closed king's row kind of went into
19064s	ot
19065s	this map was uh just not a good pick
19070s	no handshake
19071s	[Music]
19072s	just quietly
19075s	plenty of uh plenty of smack talk there
19076s	in the lobby but
19078s	the gladiator is clearly pretty focused
19080s	on what is next
19083s	okay
19086s	there is a there is gg's right but then
19089s	also like there's also bg's you know
19092s	i mean
19093s	but i also find it brutal like to be
19096s	honest like if i was atlanta like do i
19098s	want the other team to run over and like
19099s	give me a pound and like be all happy
19101s	like no i just want to pack myself up
19102s	and get away like that that was a brutal
19105s	loss you come back tomorrow
19107s	yeah definitely going to need to be a
19108s	considerable mental reset for the
19110s	atlanta reign here who showed us
19112s	honestly like that they have two really
19114s	serviceable or more than serviceable
19116s	doomfist players on their team right
19117s	they
19118s	weren't able to
19120s	make the gate of doomfist work on that
19121s	first map
19123s	but
19124s	it is still gonna be an option going
19125s	forward and let's not forget about who's
19126s	down that lower bracket and what the
19127s	rainbow i want to do against the shock
19131s	definitely still potential in this
19133s	tournament for them but
19135s	oh man
19136s	a lot of audacity from the gladiators it
19138s	can really have an effect on you
19139s	especially when you're already behind in
19140s	the series
19142s	i mean from from you know hearing from
19144s	hunter to the way the players play
19146s	i mean
19148s	sometimes they sound like a parody
19149s	account of their own when they're sort
19150s	of talking trash
19151s	it's uh i don't think we're gonna get
19152s	too much of that in a moment you'll
19154s	probably find out why we're gonna head
19155s	down to the stage now with danny and a
19157s	player interview
19160s	mr man thank you
19162s	very much what's up everybody i'm here
19164s	with the one and only kepster from los
19166s	angeles gladiators
19169s	impressive stuff
19171s	impressive stuff quick
19172s	three and oh for the los angeles
19174s	gladiators
19176s	did you expect to be a quick match or
19178s	honestly what do you think about this
19180s	atlanta game um
19182s	they're a good team so i'm a bit
19184s	disappointed but i kind of expected it
19186s	through you if i'm being honest yeah oh
19188s	nice i mean
19190s	of course with this when you guys are
19192s	now
19193s	in the finals for the kickoff clash how
19196s	do you feel how does that make you feel
19197s	i'm feeling good yeah i'm feeling
19199s	amazing it's gonna be take it home
19201s	tomorrow fast and easy fast and easy and
19203s	talking about the finals uh there are a
19206s	couple more matches but who do you
19207s	expect to see in the finals against the
19210s	uh los angeles gladiators ooh i was
19213s	probably saying despite the results
19214s	today probably atlanta yeah probably
19216s	atlanta oh wow
19218s	i just think they're good yeah i think
19219s	that about there but i respect them yeah
19221s	they're good okay well that would be
19223s	exciting another rematch with uh l.a
19225s	gladiators versus atlanta rain uh before
19227s	i let you go one last question can start
19230s	i think you're just
19231s	a really gifted player you just whatever
19234s	you play you're just so good at it do
19235s	you have like a favorite hero that you
19237s	wanna that you like to play
19239s	oh a favorite hero yeah i'll probably
19242s	say widowmaker we're gonna wake up why
19244s	it's just like sniping yeah i just like
19246s	playing her she's fun yeah true all
19248s	right everybody give it up for capture
19249s	one more time thank you all right that
19251s	is it for the poor smash interview
19253s	mitchell matt back to you
19256s	thank you very much danny
19258s	yeah look interesting really to hear
19259s	that from kevin saying look we still
19260s	think that the atlanta reign are
19261s	probably the second best team here
19263s	behind us despite the result from today
19265s	that's a pretty glowing endorsement
19267s	considering what they just did to them
19268s	honestly i i i may tend to agree with
19270s	how they've looked otherwise and even if
19273s	some of those games are competitive
19274s	there i think they just kind of ran into
19276s	a team that is on another level right
19277s	now
19278s	let's talk about our player of the match
19279s	here from the los angeles gladiators
19281s	could have been a few candidates here
19282s	but the one player that came up clutch
19284s	when it really counted was your boy shoe
19287s	on the honor some baptists play as well
19290s	obviously both heroes that he's really
19292s	renowned for and you see him chiming in
19294s	a lot of these eliminations he's very
19296s	very active
19297s	you know we talk about apm players i
19298s	think he's definitely one of the higher
19300s	ones you know whether he's balancing his
19301s	responsibilities between healing or
19303s	damage he is always active in this sleep
19306s	dart was map winning able to land the
19308s	sleep on the ultraviolet the biotic
19310s	grenade that connects with
19312s	ultraviolet and hawk puts away that
19315s	second map
19316s	which really it took the took the wind
19319s	out of the sails of the atlanta rain
19321s	yeah pretty punishing stuff there you
19322s	can see his offensive assists 10.4 per
19325s	10 also not a small number of final
19328s	blows but 10 run that was evidenced by
19330s	what we saw coming up in the kill feed
19332s	their shoe it doesn't matter if donna or
19334s	baptiste here i think are maybe the the
19336s	sort of gladiators uh ryan baptiste look
19339s	is still a little a little confusing
19341s	especially on king's row defense it's
19344s	not worked out the last couple of times
19345s	we've seen it but it doesn't matter
19347s	because their winston set up their
19348s	doomfist set up is so squeaky clean that
19349s	no team is really getting anywhere close
19351s	to them right now no and i think the
19352s	reinhardt play
19354s	will look good if they have to bring it
19356s	out when you look at some of the other
19357s	teams remaining we've seen them play it
19358s	here against the atlanta reign who uh
19361s	you know you look a collusion the shock
19363s	can play a little bit of the reinhardt
19364s	if they want
19365s	dallas really kind of can didn't in some
19368s	ways
19370s	a little bit but it's not kind of their
19372s	go-to where yeah the gladiators they can
19374s	fall back and play it just as good as
19376s	anybody else left it's right now coming
19378s	up on the other side of this game it
19380s	will be an elimination match the san
19383s	francisco shock will be taking on the
19384s	hometown heroes the dallas fuel right
19387s	here at the esports stadium arlington on
19389s	the other side of these messages you

19576s	[Music]
19593s	hello welcome to our game break zoe here
19595s	joined by a reinforce as well as necra
19598s	and we are once again ready to break
19600s	down the action now unfortunately this
19602s	game wasn't quite as close as we
19605s	initially hoped or thought it could be
19607s	but as we heard in the post game
19609s	interview with dany um you know
19611s	according to capture
19613s	still atlanta reign they are an absolute
19616s	top team unfortunately they had a had a
19618s	bad day and that sometimes just happens
19620s	and i mean over the last two days they
19622s	have showed us some top tier overwatch
19624s	so definitely nothing to scorn at uh
19627s	nekra why don't you walk us through this
19629s	match and tell us what exactly went
19632s	wrong for the atlanta reign
19635s	yeah
19636s	i think it's really hard to pinpoint one
19638s	specific thing especially when you know
19640s	the game is supposed to be a team effort
19643s	i do believe that for the matches that
19644s	we've seen today though a lot of it has
19646s	come down to a bit of a dps diff um you
19649s	know whether or not the dps that are on
19650s	the team or online and kind of have the
19652s	carry pants on i unfortunately do feel
19655s	like
19656s	the atlanta range has gone out dpsed i
19658s	think kevster had some impressive
19660s	performances when it came to the pulse
19663s	bombs on the tracer just being able to
19665s	continuously find
19668s	so much value
19670s	and just as a whole the gladiators were
19672s	able to continue to find value with all
19673s	of the ultimates that they were really
19675s	able to throw out at the rain i don't
19677s	think the rain played badly i just think
19679s	they were outplayed um
19682s	and that just seemed to be kind of the
19683s	theme of the series
19687s	so reinforce uh we're talking a little
19688s	bit about map choices here as well uh
19691s	map number three for example example
19693s	went to dorado you didn't necessarily
19695s	agree with that why is that well i mean
19698s	they're a tough spot i don't know
19701s	like it's like pick your poison right
19702s	either you're going to face once in a
19704s	while or make your duel pretty much on
19705s	any map right if you pick gibraltar
19707s	you're going to play against ants
19708s	widowmaker and the lake ladders they are
19710s	incredibly strong in all those twitter
19712s	make your situation so i think it was a
19714s	situation of just like well it's escort
19716s	um the allegations are fantastic at
19718s	escorts so it's going to be difficult
19720s	for atlanta reign regardless um it's
19723s	it's a bit um
19725s	you know hindsight is 2020 you know if
19727s	you go to route 66 you're going to get a
19729s	different result i don't think anything
19730s	necessarily guarantees that but it's a
19732s	tough map for sure for the uh atlanta
19735s	reign just being able to lose that
19737s	king's row because of that crucial sleep
19739s	dart and biotic grenade from shu that
19741s	makes such a big difference in this
19743s	series because if you can be afforded to
19745s	lose escort and then pick a push map for
19748s	example i mean that would be the dream
19750s	scenario for atlanta rain and then you
19752s	can win out on control so losing
19753s	kingstro that was a big hit for them i
19755s	did want to shout out reiner uh on the
19757s	winston on dorado i mean that was an
19759s	elite winston performance 12 final bows
19761s	one death from him and 24 eliminations
19764s	he was just having a grand old time on
19766s	dorado like as a former winston player i
19768s	mean the current winston player but
19769s	never as good as i was but i was still i
19772s	just very much appreciated what reiner
19773s	did on the gerardo just being so
19775s	proactive and always being up to
19777s	something like there were times when
19778s	like reiner was like 200 250 hp and he
19782s	like leapt in because he had such faith
19784s	in his limits and what he could do on
19786s	the winston just jumping between the
19788s	rooftops as well on point a um
19790s	incredibly impressive performance by
19791s	reiner on the winston so that stood up
19793s	to him yeah i mean honestly if i had a
19796s	shoe in the back lines i'd feel
19797s	invincible
19798s	i i i would have absolutely nothing to
19801s	worry about as a winston that's for sure
19804s	now we do of course have one or more a
19806s	game for you today the dallas fuel going
19808s	up against san francisco shock there's
19810s	going to be another elimination match
19812s	and before we're diving into that one we
19814s	have another interview with danny over
19816s	in texas
19819s	hello guys yes
19821s	look we have we have rush head coach of
19824s	dallas fuel everybody makes
19826s	[Applause]
19831s	all right
19832s	that final match of today
19834s	how are the how are the players doing
19835s	how are you doing are you guys nervous
19859s	all right i mean i don't think anyone's
19860s	really nervous the fact that we but the
19863s	fact that we had to play the first match
19864s	of the day and then the very last match
19867s	of the day does make us feel a little
19868s	tired we tried our best to get as much
19871s	rest as possible and i think we're gonna
19873s	do our best uh for the match uh for
19875s	against the san francisco shock and
19877s	talking about this match uh we saw san
19879s	francisco shaw come out with something
19881s	special something that we haven't seen
19882s	the doomfist competition and they were
19884s	looking pretty good i would say uh were
19887s	you are you guys worried about the
19888s	doofus come from the san francisco shock
19890s	at all
19893s	times
19914s	all right i mean i'm not really worried
19916s	at all because it's a competition that
19918s	we've all already uh been playing
19920s	against so nothing uh that that are too
19923s	worrying about uh we also if we just you
19926s	know try our best and try how we've been
19928s	practicing i think i think we will do
19930s	fine and my final question for you rush
19934s	like like like the san francisco shock
19935s	they had doomfist and the match is about
19937s	to start is there you know something you
19939s	guys have been cooking up especially for
19942s	the san francisco shock
19965s	all right uh nothing i don't want to say
19967s	anything new or special but i think
19969s	we're just going to roll that with what
19971s	we are very conf uncomfortable and and
19974s	uh
19975s	you know comfortable and also
19977s	very proud not proud i'm sorry guys i'm
19979s	like i'm losing my i'm losing my words
19981s	sorry i apologize uh very comfortable
19983s	with i think we're just gonna play that
19985s	composition that everyone knows and
19987s	loves all right rush that is it for the
19990s	interview thank you so much for your
19991s	time
19994s	zoe back to you thank you
19999s	thank you so much russia thank you so
20001s	much danny and yeah i mean that's really
20003s	the way to go right go with your
20004s	comfortable uh pigs go with what you're
20007s	confident in and for the dallas fuel
20009s	micro that has been those zarya
20011s	composition so you see them using that
20014s	throughout the entirety of this match
20016s	against the san francisco shock to good
20017s	success great success where we are
20021s	i think so i think that especially
20023s	feeling uh and seeing how warm dallas
20025s	fuel were on this composition at the
20027s	beginning of the day if edison can
20029s	continue to have those incredible
20030s	performances on the reaper sparkles
20032s	genji was popping off there are
20034s	definitely some really incredible pieces
20037s	to this zarya composition that dallas
20039s	fuel has used to success already and i
20041s	think it's going to continue to work
20043s	against the san francisco shock just
20044s	looking at the fact that san francisco
20047s	have looked a little lost in this
20049s	tournament so far they definitely turned
20051s	it around in their matchup today but i
20053s	just think the dallas fuel
20055s	have it all together and they will just
20057s	keep finding success with it
20060s	reinforce if we're looking at the san
20062s	francisco shock here do you think they
20063s	can ride the high they're coming off of
20065s	just now yeah i think you can because
20067s	especially houston outlaws as well they
20069s	played a bit of a brawly kind of
20070s	competition with lucio moira that's a
20072s	lot of sticking together for the moira
20073s	healing right so dallas fuel they're
20076s	looking to stay together as well playing
20077s	this zara composition and play play
20079s	around that right so if propper on the
20081s	tracer can work his way around with the
20083s	flanks and try to poke at the back line
20085s	of the dallas fuel that could lead to
20087s	some opening so keep your eyes on proper
20089s	tracer to unlock some of this other
20091s	potential for the san francisco shock
20092s	yeah and i i have to say i'm i'm a
20095s	massive victim of recency bias and and
20097s	looking at how the shark played today
20100s	all right may or may not sway my friends
20103s	for this one let's take a look at who
20106s	went with which team i got to say that
20110s	i i don't know for me personally i think
20112s	what i saw from popper again today and
20114s	what i saw from college today as well oh
20116s	that just made me right that made me go
20119s	with the san francisco shock let's see
20120s	i'm not the only one who was very
20123s	impressed uh by that danny is with me on
20125s	this one
20127s	realistically do you think he's going to
20128s	be a close one or
20131s	no i mean the dallas fuel fans in the
20133s	building come on they're excited it's
20135s	packed over there the dallas fuel fans
20137s	with the signs they're gonna be cheering
20139s	on it's gonna be great i mean shock fast
20141s	you can tweet at me but you're not
20143s	actually in dallas it's gonna help them
20144s	i mean and you're not there at all so
20146s	like you're not scared of it either i
20148s	assume
20150s	i'm very scared of my twitter timeline
20151s	it's it's all it's all right you're a
20153s	big boy you can take on like what five
20155s	fans at once like i could i could see
20157s	that
20158s	if it gets into it
20160s	uh well i i'm excited uh necro any any
20163s	last words do you also expect this to
20165s	not be a close one bless you also bless
20167s	you i'm alert i'm alert i'm allergic to
20169s	three
20170s	okay sorry i had to sneeze because i oh
20178s	okay yeah i think this is actually gonna
20180s	be really close um honestly it was a
20182s	little bit of a coin toss for me in
20183s	terms of who was going to end up taking
20185s	this match of course i gotta back up the
20187s	dallas fuel based off of the performance
20189s	that we saw from just today um but yeah
20192s	it's gonna be a close one maybe it may
20193s	be a three one maybe a three two
20196s	something in that direction oh
20198s	wow okay how gracious i see nekra is
20201s	allergic to my san francisco opium i get
20204s	it it's fine uh we'll see they will
20207s	battle it out for us on the battlefield
20209s	and of course the three of us will be
20211s	back to break down all the action after
20213s	this next match so get ready for our

20407s	hometown hopes on the line in this
20411s	elimination match between the dallas
20413s	fuel and the san francisco shock welcome
20417s	back everybody to the esports stadium
20419s	arlington live from arlington texas
20422s	this one matt is sure to be a
20424s	firecracker i mean this is a matchup
20426s	that a lot of people probably had in
20428s	their final
20429s	uh not in here loser semi-final so one
20432s	of these teams gonna go home pretty
20434s	disappointed you know the san francisco
20436s	shock undefeated in our online matches
20438s	through the kickoff clash they come here
20440s	they looked a little bit shaky early on
20442s	maybe like starting to settle down a bit
20444s	the same with dallas as dallas i think
20446s	is a lot of teams here they're like hey
20448s	we know kind of what they're going to do
20450s	and now dallas just needs to execute at
20452s	a higher level we spoke to rush i mean
20454s	danny did earlier on and said you know
20456s	what should we expect from you guys and
20457s	he said look i mean it's much the same
20459s	we're very much locked into our lane
20461s	right now we have a strong idea of what
20463s	we want to play it's gonna be a matter
20464s	of executing it
20465s	we heard from the gladiators about
20466s	playing the shock they said they're glad
20468s	they don't have to deal with your proper
20469s	trying to constantly deadlift that team
20471s	against them a scary prospect here as
20474s	well someone like sparkle may have to
20476s	stand up and try and mirror the impact
20477s	of proper that is a huge ask that i
20480s	think is one of the biggest things for
20481s	this series like
20482s	proper we have not seen anybody really
20484s	stop him all tournament long even
20487s	through the shocks bad games
20489s	who is gonna do that for dallas and how
20491s	are they gonna go about that
20493s	i mean we'll be looking at to see who
20494s	walks out on stage here we'll get an
20496s	idea of what they're gonna start with so
20497s	need i remind you or ask you to make
20499s	some noise everybody for your local team
20502s	it's the dallas fuel
20506s	[Applause]
20512s	[Music]
20513s	[Applause]
20514s	[Music]
20521s	and obviously the crowd going crazy here
20524s	for the fuel
20525s	they'll be han bin in the lineup to kick
20527s	things off
20529s	edison and sparkle in that damage deal
20532s	or roll we've seen just about everybody
20534s	in terms of damage for the fuel
20537s	i just think
20539s	man they're gonna have to turn up big
20540s	time here against the shock because you
20542s	got to imagine right think about uh you
20544s	know battle texas early on in the season
20547s	they're like a lot of nerves with this
20549s	dallas fuel team right in that matchup
20551s	you come in here right everybody going
20553s	crazy for you you're going off against
20556s	the shark does it work for or against
20558s	you don't know right it depends on how
20560s	this first map goes and that pressure
20561s	starts to melt remind you the journey so
20563s	far for the dallas fuel a 3-0 victory
20565s	against toronto in that first round and
20567s	then they faced the los angeles
20569s	gladiators
20571s	a close match but a 3-1 result sent the
20573s	fuel to the lower bracket where they
20575s	they took on the florida mayhem dropping
20578s	a map to them but able to squeeze their
20579s	way forward
20581s	this team obviously
20583s	multiple options here we've seen han bin
20584s	show us even the reinhardt at times
20588s	the question is whether they have the
20589s	answers to have the toolkit to deal with
20591s	their opponents everybody welcome to the
20595s	arena the san francisco
20598s	shock
20605s	that's more like it
20612s	[Applause]
20617s	they came into this event as the
20618s	favorite
20620s	they stumbled early on
20622s	they've started to bounce back and
20624s	they've started to play really well i
20625s	think you've seen colluge now pick up
20627s	some of those doomfist base comps we've
20629s	seen them play just about everything
20630s	else
20631s	and i'll say it again who is stopping
20633s	proper
20636s	such a threat
20637s	whenever he gets to play the tracer
20639s	regardless of what map it is
20641s	just earlier today we saw them dispatch
20643s	the houston outlaws and that last map
20645s	that colosseo map
20647s	could have gone either way
20649s	how much
20650s	is left in the tank for this team do
20652s	they have what it takes
20654s	to go up against the fuel in a very
20656s	hostile crowd situation
20658s	these players had better have shaken off
20660s	the jitters map because this may be
20662s	their last chance
20664s	the other there's something fun though
20666s	right about being
20668s	in the position that the shock are in
20670s	being able to send the hometown team
20673s	home
20674s	knock them out of the tournament
20676s	everybody uh no obviously upset with you
20679s	but you move on to tomorrow uh there's
20682s	there's some fun in that uh i think they
20684s	gotta they gotta understand that coming
20686s	in that that's like one of the better
20687s	moments that you can get here at an
20688s	event
20690s	the dallas fuels a franchise been
20691s	fortunate to play
20692s	in front of home crowds in the past and
20694s	you better believe they've linked them
20696s	their strength going over to houston
20698s	earlier on this season they realized it
20699s	wasn't just them
20700s	that could be lifted on the shoulders
20703s	of an involved crowd
20707s	our first map in this series ladies and
20709s	gentlemen will be oasis the first time
20711s	we've seen this one this weekend
20715s	[Applause]
20717s	[Music]
20719s	i'll see the boot teams bring to the
20721s	table in this matchup
20725s	i bet you the dallas fuel would have
20727s	been totally fine with this match if it
20729s	was in the final they probably did not
20732s	expect
20734s	this to happen here at this moment in
20736s	time
20738s	but i think both of these teams you look
20741s	how atlanta just played you're like hey
20742s	maybe we can actually make a run back
20744s	right even though i think atlanta plays
20746s	you know they'll play much better than
20747s	they play maybe an off day right
20752s	[Applause]
20755s	early on here
20757s	[Applause]
20758s	looks like a zarya inclusion for the
20761s	fuel the composition that they have
20762s	really
20763s	refined
20765s	and led the way
20766s	for the rest of the league in
20769s	palm beach edison on the reaper
20772s	esports stadium arlington makes some
20774s	noise we're out of the gates the dallas
20776s	fuel and san francisco shock
20779s	yeah it'll be sparkle on the genji with
20782s	edison on the reaper
20784s	we'll have
20785s	the shock playing this doomfist
20787s	composition colluge mention the crust
20789s	he's like hey just lock it in
20791s	figure it out
20792s	look pretty good in the last series but
20794s	this is the player to watch proper
20797s	sparkle often not to match tracers
20801s	harmon
20802s	an early sleep dart connected there from
20803s	finn and proper looks to try and follow
20805s	up as much as he can
20807s	harmon takes a beating but field is
20809s	still going to be there to give the top
20810s	up and she go
20811s	fill the biotic grenade just now
20813s	edison in danger proppers obstacles sort
20816s	of ignore him though more attention
20817s	being
20818s	faced towards sparkling killers able to
20820s	finish that first pick san francisco yes
20822s	finn hits him with a biotic grenade and
20824s	he's trying to dash out not able to make
20826s	it to a teammate so
20827s	this will be the shock taking the point
20829s	first
20830s	kilo can assume this high ground
20832s	position now
20833s	harass the fuel as they cross again
20836s	dallas want to take fights inside that
20838s	small room they're definitely favored
20839s	there but need to respect collusion's
20841s	crowd control
20842s	you know closer quarters
20845s	front liner edison there with the help
20846s	of han
20848s	warding away the shock
20850s	this is an aggressive teleport here
20852s	moving out to the point to begin to
20853s	contest columbus takes half his health
20854s	and damage and fielder
20857s	dumps the grenade on him
20858s	yeah i need nothing you can do there
20861s	nothing you have to save clues 30
20862s	percent and counting
20865s	this is for the shock is oh no you still
20868s	have proper on the point contesting it
20870s	but edison getting the nano boost
20872s	hitting the high ground
20873s	and hitting hard
20875s	it'll be a flip for the dallas fuel
20879s	mana boost there from fielder just set
20881s	over edison's way again much like desire
20884s	bubble form of
20885s	utility that allows him to play just
20887s	that little bit more aggressively grabs
20889s	graviton surge on deck here for the fuel
20892s	they're getting close to that pulse bomb
20894s	sparkle moves away from the genji this
20895s	will be a grab early on
20897s	slept inside the grab by the grenade as
20899s	well there's no way he's getting out of
20900s	that
20901s	sound barrier here and killer's going to
20903s	go with the tactical visor dallas feels
20905s	overshield starting to expire and kilo
20907s	didn't have a great sight line edison
20909s	strikes violet is dispatched proper
20911s	needs to keep his distances up and seems
20912s	to be charged he sleeps a pulse bomb is
20914s	going to be coming in it's not a stick
20916s	and half it can bubble it off oh that is
20919s	an awful sequence there from the san
20921s	francisco shock
20923s	college goes in gets hit with a grab the
20925s	sound barrier is late the nano for the
20928s	attack visor does nothing
20930s	oh what a bit of a mess
20932s	medial strike from colluge no barrier
20934s	for harmon for a few seconds of sleep is
20936s	good
20937s	the pulse bomb was dropped there for
20938s	sparkle that didn't connect either
20940s	that's two dps alts for zero results
20943s	sparkle those found his way into the
20945s	back line though drags finn down
20948s	forced to blink away recall from
20949s	toulouse who power blocks and sparkle
20951s	will head to the higher ground dallas
20953s	still in control of the point
20955s	yes they're gonna try and make a push
20957s	back in his collusions right out on a
20959s	han bin that's going to force one bubble
20960s	out
20961s	common shots up here he gets the nano
20963s	boots looking for glue she's going to
20964s	struggle to block this damage away
20966s	heading for the heels kilo is one and
20968s	edison finishes him off
20970s	violet can't get away quickly enough
20973s	harpin
20978s	so it's just a shock early on but it's
20980s	been all dallas fuel
20983s	from here on out is
20986s	hon been with
20989s	[Applause]
20992s	you may as well use the graph here to
20994s	secure the kill and secure the first
20996s	round
21002s	[Applause]
21008s	so we've seen a lot of teams counter
21010s	these zarya based compositions with some
21012s	reinhardt
21016s	like play no oasis doesn't really shoot
21017s	the best for that character it's a big
21020s	ask on a map like this man a lot of high
21022s	ground here too
21024s	[Applause]
21031s	home crowd
21033s	getting behind the fuel here as they
21035s	give them a reason to get excited in
21037s	that first round
21039s	now field are going to opt for the moira
21041s	here
21043s	weary of proper weary of colluge
21046s	no buying for the fuel here they need to
21047s	find other ways to set up these
21049s	eliminations you play the moyer when you
21051s	combo with the tracer in the reaper
21053s	right you're not going to play the ng so
21055s	don't have to worry about those long
21056s	range healing
21060s	[Applause]
21063s	[Music]
21063s	[Applause]
21070s	advancing on his prey proper like a
21072s	gazelle in the woods trying to evade
21074s	his long legs carry him far from the
21076s	frame
21078s	collusion is infielder
21080s	self-preservation instant kicking in and
21082s	sparkle
21083s	dispatches
21085s	yeah he's going to get rid of violet too
21088s	the wild edison stalks his way to the
21090s	high ground and from behind
21093s	he is indomitable i will say this is
21095s	weird if you're at home and there's game
21097s	audio
21099s	it's not coming through here though
21102s	as uh it's gonna be dell has been in
21104s	that first fight
21105s	moving up pretty far so free will build
21107s	a pulse bomb out of this for san
21109s	francisco
21110s	and not an easy target though to land
21112s	that
21114s	sparkle here again forcing proper away
21116s	dallas
21117s	18
21120s	best part about this crowd is that you
21122s	can heal anything can be heard
21126s	sparkle's going to take out proper all
21128s	right so
21129s	pulse bomb there from sparkle
21133s	we were wondering how are they gonna
21135s	respond
21136s	and deal with the tracer of proper
21139s	sparkle since switching over to it has
21141s	lived up to the task
21143s	40 and counting here for the dallas feel
21146s	such a great start and the shocker in i
21148s	don't disarray
21149s	dallas really have got a good feel for
21152s	how to pace the start of these fights
21156s	and yeah sparkle has to step up in a
21158s	tracer duel it's going to be kilo to go
21160s	down first though and he was using his
21162s	tack visor at that time as well so
21165s	not going to have that key ultimate
21166s	deluge getting burnt as well he's going
21168s	to get a nano boost but it's going to be
21169s	tough for him to stay alive and edison
21171s	removes him another huge elimination for
21174s	the dallas fuel and the clock is ticking
21176s	68
21179s	man
21181s	some key ultimates used there for the
21183s	shock nano tack visor
21186s	sound barrier
21188s	nothing to show for it as you slip sound
21190s	barrier here available grab death
21192s	blossom as this one is dallas fuels to
21194s	lose i love this rotation for medicine
21196s	there is in a great position to drop
21197s	down and no one from the shot can really
21199s	harass him here he comes graviton surge
21202s	phil to get him with the violet there
21203s	and again kalooz can't do a thing about
21205s	it it's a 72 charge hard being looking
21207s	for his next prey and finn is on the
21210s	shopping list
21211s	teleport forward there by edison and the
21214s	fuel just don't want to stop
21216s	finn finds chio but there's enough
21218s	healing for the dallas fuel now to take
21219s	them into overtime toulouse tries to
21221s	step up to the point he's gonna have to
21222s	get out with the meteor strike he'll
21224s	return to the fray but edison still has
21226s	that dead blossom available
21228s	some damage on the doom and there's the
21230s	sound we're looking for
21231s	proper down already in this fight to
21233s	lose a little low pulse bomb not
21235s	claiming the kill but spark was able to
21237s	finish the job here as the shock a
21239s	running out of players the dallas fuel
21242s	wash the shock away
21244s	[Applause]
21247s	game number one
21250s	all dallas fuel
21252s	is i i think the shock it'll be really
21255s	interesting what their map selection
21257s	will be
21258s	it'll tell you what kind of compositions
21260s	they want to roll with from here on out
21262s	because i don't know if the doomfist was
21264s	it
21266s	san francisco shock facing their
21267s	greatest challenge
21269s	so far potentially
21271s	off the entire tournament going up
21272s	against these kind of adverse conditions
21275s	that were stunning from the dallas fuel
21276s	they're looking like a little bit
21278s	different
21279s	let's see what i've got on the other
21280s	side of these messages map two is
21282s	moments away
21283s	[Music]
21289s	[Applause]
21298s	oh
21300s	[Music]
21327s	[Music]
21337s	[Applause]
21338s	[Music]
21359s	bruh
21361s	[Music]
21372s	so
21380s	[Music]
21416s	so
21419s	[Music]
21420s	[Applause]
21425s	[Music]
21445s	[Applause]
21447s	[Music]
21459s	[Applause]
21459s	[Music]
21463s	[Applause]
21468s	[Music]
21472s	[Applause]
21475s	[Music]
21489s	[Applause]
21493s	[Music]
21499s	[Applause]
21501s	[Music]
21514s	sparkle dominating the game putting on
21516s	an absolute show there's just nobody
21518s	like him in the league sparkle has a
21519s	blade he pulls it straight away this guy
21521s	is legitimately unhinged
21524s	oh my sparkle's got so many tools in his
21527s	arsenal sparkle tearing through them
21530s	again media strike into it as well
21534s	this is absurd
21537s	oh he is so good at video games no one
21541s	can really stop sparkle right now and he
21543s	does it with a remake as well and
21545s	sparkle saves what could have been a
21547s	rough fight for the fuel again what a
21548s	ridiculous play from sparkle the remake
21551s	and the self-destruct are you kidding me
21556s	can anyone stop sparkle there's the
21559s	pulse bomb sparkle with another three
21561s	kills make it four
21562s	i mean that is insane sparkle pushes all
21564s	the way into the enemy spawn
21566s	oh no that's both supports you better
21569s	believe it sparkle has a death blossom
21571s	pine to bring it down fireball comes out
21573s	on the soldier 76. sparkling is an
21576s	absolute beast
21577s	[Music]
21580s	[Applause]
21584s	sometimes you twerk
21586s	sometimes you go to work
21588s	sometimes it's a little bit of both
21592s	what a moment for sparkle in that first
21594s	map the crowd behind him and he
21596s	rose to the occasion
21600s	so you gotta see uh
21601s	how the shock gets started on this map
21604s	because
21605s	the crowd obviously extremely pro dallas
21608s	dallas seems to be living up to the hype
21610s	thus far
21611s	and the hype's living up to them yeah
21613s	and
21615s	you don't pick it up here and like wake
21616s	up a little bit if you're a shark this
21617s	series gonna be over real quick
21621s	one thing you want in san francisco is
21622s	the sound of silence a silent crowd
21625s	means you're doing your job
21628s	midtown is going to be the selection for
21630s	a second map in this series naturally a
21633s	san francisco selection
21635s	a map where those winston-based
21636s	compositions can be quite effective
21639s	but dallas have seemed to her on the
21642s	side observer still
21644s	see what that setup has in store for us
21647s	looks like dallas will be going on the
21648s	attacking side
21650s	first up
21654s	it'll be interesting what the shocker
21655s	trying to force here with this map
21657s	selection honman stays in
21660s	so it tells you
21661s	not going to see any type of winston
21663s	play
21665s	probably be a lot of either the
21667s	doofus or the zarya as
21670s	the shock on defense look to be coming
21672s	out with the doom again
21677s	a little bit more of that doomfist
21680s	than even the winston lately
21682s	and honestly in that
21684s	series against the outlaws
21686s	can't blame them for wanting to bring it
21688s	back here
21689s	han been definitely putting the reps in
21691s	on the doom though no doubt about it
21694s	it looks like the fuel might opt for
21695s	again that sort of zargulis reaper set
21698s	up
21698s	anderson needs to be a bit more flanky
21700s	less of a front liner and that hand been
21702s	doing the heavy lifting in that regard
21706s	here we go
21707s	so it'll be hand been on the zarya so
21711s	zarya with the tracer and the reaper
21714s	they try to genji a little bit early on
21716s	and ever since that didn't work out
21717s	they've been going with the tracer and
21719s	it's worked out much better
21720s	it's sparkle in this role
21724s	all right
21724s	glue supposed to peel back a little bear
21726s	as you saw that recall from
21728s	sparkle edison coming down from the high
21730s	ground called proper somehow
21733s	proper off the boil so far in this year
21736s	he's in a fat biotic grenade on finn and
21737s	colluge
21739s	dallas need to take a moment top up a
21740s	little bit kilo not yet shaken free of
21743s	his purge and edison they want to get
21744s	some help back that's important gluge
21746s	isn't doing anything right now with the
21748s	fire on him
21749s	hyman again remember conservative bubble
21751s	usage from him
21753s	only when he needs it only when edison
21755s	needs it
21759s	this is the team that's been playing a
21760s	ton of zarya comps throughout
21762s	this tournament
21764s	it'll be the first checkpoint taken
21767s	[Applause]
21770s	man this is the shock map pick dude to
21773s	get off to this type of star oh man ah
21776s	it's just terrible
21778s	we haven't seen this dallas fuel yet
21780s	not of this tournament
21783s	edison getting a bit of top up there he
21785s	headed upstairs too with the bubble
21787s	not much room to do there though we'll
21789s	sort her back into formation
21794s	and again how do you engage this high
21796s	ground with this map what are you
21798s	what is your wind con here in this part
21800s	of the map so you're not playing the 76
21802s	so you're gonna have to have the reaper
21804s	teleport up right just like this
21806s	oh he's got the nano nice move back
21808s	but get those bubbles and push on
21810s	through subtle as a sledgehammer rather
21812s	fuel
21813s	just as effective
21814s	[Applause]
21818s	how long do you commit to this if you're
21820s	the shark
21820s	[Applause]
21822s	what's the other option reinhardt base
21824s	set up
21825s	yeah i mean winston based reinhardt
21827s	right
21828s	what is your
21830s	i mean you can't play winston against
21831s	this surely
21833s	okay now on kilo attack visor as well
21835s	hasty retreat for the dallas fuel
21837s	they're looking a little sheepish as
21838s	kilo riddles them with bullets
21841s	three that's good enough
21843s	all right so
21845s	they have to dump a nano a sound barrier
21847s	and divisor in here it's uh sparkle just
21851s	i'm hiding down here with edison so
21853s	there was a meeting of the twerking
21854s	council down there yeah
21858s	fielder switch off of anna and gonna go
21861s	over to the moira so proper might be
21863s	giving him some grief there yeah
21867s	that means he can play aggressively as
21869s	well
21871s	doesn't want to be an easy pulse bomb
21872s	target there's no burst healing here
21874s	though so if there's a biomate on the
21875s	fuel it's pretty scary for them
21879s	has to be cleansed look edison getting
21880s	stun like there's no burst healing for
21882s	that reaper something goes wrong for him
21884s	it's curtains but they're in this sound
21886s	barrier they want to fight here oh
21887s	collusion taking a risk there he's going
21889s	to drop down at 90 hp he's gonna have to
21891s	jump away pretty much instantly
21893s	gets caught in a grab the timing is good
21895s	from harmon pulse bomb there from proper
21898s	fruitless
21901s	dallas are going to ride this one in
21903s	it'll be a brief contest on the car
21904s	looks like finn kilo
21907s	eventually they'll be dealt with as well
21911s	hanby wants to fight anybody right now
21913s	uh he is so charged up trying to hunt
21915s	down collusion no power for clues he's
21918s	low they're chasing and they got him
21923s	it's not a huge stagger
21926s	gonna get a little bit of payload
21927s	progress here it takes a while to kind
21929s	of get moving through this area of the
21930s	map
21931s	and collusion the doomfist so fast can
21933s	get back in the fight
21935s	edison has hit a lot of big like death
21937s	blossoms here it'll be interesting what
21939s	type of angle he takes from this being a
21941s	little bit sneaky here
21945s	again just forcing to lose your way or
21946s	forcing an early power bot would be
21948s	incredible
21950s	proper has to keep him honest here but
21952s	can't commit to anything
21954s	all right there's the power block
21956s	now
21960s	there it is
21961s	a trade there of kills but perhaps you
21963s	think it's worth finn is down and he had
21965s	a nano boost ready to rumble collusion
21968s	also missing now sparkle gonna be the
21969s	recipient of the bubbles in lieu of
21971s	addison and he could do just as well
21972s	with them
21973s	oh dallas
21975s	[Applause]
21979s	proper got away only just
21981s	pulse bomb for sparkle
21982s	and a coalescence from fielder you don't
21985s	have a pulse bomb yet but you're worried
21986s	about the pulse bomb
21989s	nano boost here for kilo do it doesn't
21991s	go for the tactical visor hanbin
21993s	running away sound barrier now for the
21995s	san francisco shock this is it they have
21997s	to make this work they've used
21998s	everything
22000s	pulse bomb from proper also
22002s	doesn't connect fuel to fire leaks are
22004s	coming there only the lucio left for
22005s	healing for the fuel but they're close
22006s	to a sound barrier and edison is
22007s	pressuring
22009s	he fancies this fight the fuel commit
22011s	they go for the sound barrier edison and
22013s	keyline's face and he's found two
22018s	to lose currently
22020s	in the stratosphere meteor striking away
22023s	as pop has been able to deal with chio
22024s	and filter faded forward he might be
22026s	able to get into this fight and yes he
22028s	has done so but his teammates are
22029s	looking a little hack it doesn't matter
22031s	though sparkle looks the challenge
22033s	deluge punches through edison
22035s	a little bit of life still there for him
22037s	but not enough to keep him alive
22040s	they get extremely close but some kills
22042s	from proper kilo out of the spawn
22045s	pick up some cleanup kills there to stop
22047s	the dallas fuel which
22049s	honestly how much time would have been
22051s	on the clock of their time bank it would
22052s	have been very difficult for the shock
22054s	to beat or match that and now colluge
22056s	goes over the rhine baptiste as well
22059s	for finn
22060s	so it is a ryan cobb
22064s	again we talked about when we would see
22066s	this that maybe the zarya composition
22068s	struggles a little bit to penetrate past
22070s	the reinhardt
22073s	proper has a pole spot
22076s	a lot of poke damage here from colluge
22078s	but he's shrunk it off fairly
22083s	that'll do it
22085s	not the prettiest thing
22087s	for sparkle who ends up blowing himself
22089s	up but it doesn't matter
22091s	it's enough to break through the
22092s	defenses of the shock but at the
22094s	90-second time bank yeehaw
22106s	the entire map complete a minute 30 in
22109s	the time bank
22113s	the way this series has got off to
22115s	start it's gotten off to i'm glad i
22117s	didn't make my prediction uh
22119s	man dallas looks light out here
22127s	we saw the san francisco shock they
22129s	resorted to
22131s	a reinhardt set up but the graviton
22133s	surge was already there
22135s	it's just too late it's just too late uh
22138s	i i get midtown has some areas where
22141s	there's like verticality right you wanna
22143s	play with some of that with the doomfist
22145s	you're gonna play the doomfist because
22147s	of the zarya comp on the other side and
22148s	the reaper but
22151s	uh it's not working out and it's looking
22152s	like that gotta try something else i
22154s	think eventually right
22156s	how much of this eye comfort we've seen
22157s	from san francisco
22161s	we've seen it a little bit uh but but
22164s	not a ton i mean they've been able to
22166s	get by by just playing a ton of
22168s	winston-based compositions and they've
22170s	been
22171s	insane at those with collusion proper
22173s	able to collapse on players
22175s	that's where they've looked at their
22176s	best let's talk about proper map it's
22178s	tough to see him making a big impact so
22180s	far in this series
22181s	[Applause]
22183s	when your team's gonna get enrolled like
22185s	this it's
22186s	difficult for anybody i think
22188s	to make that big of an impact is
22190s	kilo on the hanzo so
22193s	seen a little bit more hanzo play during
22194s	this tournament than we have at home
22198s	great to get these medium-range picks
22200s	that is edison getting the kill on a
22202s	proper right away
22205s	edison walks up on proper and snatches
22207s	him up
22209s	back to the penthouse suite
22211s	the hanzo is pretty good against the
22212s	reaper in the sense that the reaper tp's
22214s	in he's the stationary target storm
22216s	arrows just try and
22218s	burn through the bubble and mow him down
22220s	force out right for uh form straight
22222s	away
22224s	again dealing with sparkle behind that
22226s	fire truck is frustrating he's
22227s	constantly strafing that corner
22230s	and again edison gets a bubble if he
22231s	drops out of this building quite happily
22233s	they're in the alleyway
22234s	clattering of bin lids oh
22237s	okay i had to be defensive body grenade
22238s	there and there it is that's nasty from
22240s	fielder
22243s	no questions at this time thank you but
22245s	i don't think that's an area of the map
22247s	you want to fight in if you're san
22249s	francisco
22250s	they're running zarya they're running
22252s	reaper
22253s	you don't want to be in a small alleyway
22255s	against those two characters
22257s	[Applause]
22258s	and they go right
22261s	they go right at him in that alleyway
22263s	and well what do you expect at that
22265s	point finn has to defensively bionate
22267s	fielder sees that immediately deploys
22269s	his
22270s	easy pickups for edison
22273s	han been getting closer now to that
22274s	graviton surge colluge we'll be
22276s	scratching his head to find a good way
22278s	to get value out of his
22281s	field are just pumping those heels
22285s	oh okay nano deployed here comes hardman
22288s	he's charged
22290s	sound barry they're going to wait this
22291s	out there's the gravel and it's late
22293s	just late enough in fact
22298s	san francisco
22302s	they'll be waking up with a headache
22303s	after that one
22306s	man
22310s	nothing can go right for the shock man i
22312s	mean they're getting they're gonna ram
22314s	back to the spawn right now
22316s	staggering that is gravitational that
22319s	sound barrier had decayed was huge
22320s	here's an opportunity though right
22323s	dragon grab
22325s	sound barrier on the other side but
22327s	still
22328s	this is a good opportunity for the shock
22330s	here if you could land some of these
22331s	ultimates to lose no charge okay grab to
22333s	the corner sound barrier is going to be
22335s	well timed here's the dragon though
22338s	i'm being forced to back away kilo with
22340s	three in that fight getting rid of
22341s	sparkle there
22342s	the fuel are in a little bit of trouble
22343s	no healers here harmbeen can wait on his
22345s	bubble cool down to edison it's gonna be
22347s	a bit of a 2v2 here
22349s	sheila wants to try and chase down
22350s	harmony's charge oh you better respect
22352s	the beam and there's the death blossom
22354s	edison gets colluge i mean you get the
22356s	tank out of the way that's huge
22358s	here come the reinforcements kilo now
22360s	has to fight on two fronts and he's
22361s	forced back the reinforcements have
22363s	arrived
22364s	how is edison alive
22367s	there's no business having done that he
22369s	death blossoms and then actually tp's
22371s	like back up the staircase behind him
22375s	enable just
22376s	juke everybody and i said that was like
22378s	one of their best chances you look now
22381s	i mean just attack pfizer here from
22383s	proper so much area to hide behind a
22385s	difficult choke to go through it is all
22388s	on him
22389s	if he gets hit with a bionate middle
22391s	he's done harmon slept here i mean
22393s	dennison doesn't get a bubble for now
22396s	the heist oh he's slapped through the
22397s	tack oh it's devastating woken up though
22400s	the killer's already gone down i've been
22402s	looking to push forward here and proper
22403s	needs to turn tail edison won't be
22405s	stopped harvey won't be denied the fuel
22408s	won't be beat
22412s	finn is a smoldering heap on the ground
22414s	and although colluge got a nano boost
22416s	it's just not gonna cut the mustard
22418s	[Applause]
22420s	i mean you're the widowmaker now you're
22422s	tilted more than uranus's axis
22425s	it's over
22430s	now usually i like to give a a second to
22432s	let moments breathe
22435s	not doing that in this one just quiet
22437s	it's just nothing to talk about i mean
22439s	the dallas fuel are just running the
22442s	shock back to the spawn locking the
22445s	mirror and clowning on him right now
22448s	this is as one-sided of a series like
22451s	at this late in the tournament we've
22452s	ever seen so far
22455s	we were denying a battle of texas here
22456s	in arlington
22458s	but we may well see you dallas fuel
22459s	advancing yet
22461s	oh my it's a shell shocked
22464s	and stunted group with a shock here
22467s	dallas looking to close things out in
22469s	this third map it's do or die for san
22471s	francisco
22473s	stay tuned
22476s	[Music]
22481s	[Applause]
22491s	so
22512s	[Music]
22524s	[Music]
22581s	[Music]
22633s	so
22636s	[Music]
22647s	[Music]
22686s	[Music]
22704s	[Music]
22724s	[Music]
22730s	[Music]
22736s	[Music]
22742s	what just transpired
22744s	was undoubtedly one of the most
22746s	one-sided maps we've seen
22749s	in the entirety
22751s	of the kickoff clash
22754s	dallas fuel
22756s	smacking down the san francisco shock
22758s	paving the way
22760s	to a match point
22762s	and if you're the shark like you've
22764s	tried these doomfist calms right you
22765s	tried a little bit of zarya there
22767s	towards the end
22769s	what do you go to what map right so
22771s	they've actually picked circuit royale
22773s	so
22774s	this allows kilo to play some of that
22776s	widowmaker we've seen him play
22778s	uh in the last few weeks right and just
22780s	kind of as this stage has moved on and
22783s	guerrilla will come in for edison so
22784s	you'll see a widowmaker counter sub in
22786s	here for dallas
22790s	this is a map
22792s	that allows han bin
22794s	to play one of his most famous
22797s	heroes
22799s	if we see this sigma and a poke
22801s	composition from the dallas fuel
22803s	by the way fielder on this end kind of
22805s	nasty
22808s	that it yeah be pretty
22810s	exciting to see we've also seen teams
22812s	play the reinhardt play that first
22813s	corner reinhardt sort of play far
22815s	forward have your widows dueling some
22817s	may some hanzo as well we've also seen
22819s	the san francisco shock complete a
22822s	reverse sweep right down 0-2 against the
22824s	justice battle their way back but those
22827s	first two maps looked way different than
22829s	these first time you feel like sisyphus
22831s	trying to do it in this room no
22834s	especially because dallas would pick the
22835s	maps from here on out
22838s	though that is a
22840s	that's like
22841s	yeah it's almost like you almost feel
22842s	it's impossible to think of
22844s	just can't even imagine it but
22846s	it all starts here if it's gonna happen
22848s	on circle royale
22852s	[Music]
22853s	203-0
22856s	and here we are
22857s	[Music]
22859s	keep your eyes out for the tanks here
22864s	[Music]
22865s	glad to see our friends in the crowd are
22867s	as surprised as we are in mathematics
22869s	yeah
22870s	they know the rules
22875s	so do i
22879s	double sniper defense
22882s	we see some teams play like symmetra
22884s	here we see a lot of different stuff
22887s	this is a nasty poke setup for sure
22890s	oh without a doubt
22893s	ah yes
22899s	truly compelling symphony thank you
22901s	dallas thank you yes
22903s	very cool
22906s	[Music]
22910s	here i'm very curious to see how he
22912s	navigates this area
22914s	here
22915s	you see double sniper you see this type
22917s	of setup yeah so
22919s	i like that swap the genji makes way
22920s	more sense in this situation than a
22922s	tracer
22924s	carts on the move most of the shock
22926s	keep themselves hidden
22929s	for now
22931s	sparkle
22933s	having a serve
22935s	pressure on the sigma now connecting a
22937s	lot of those shurikens so
22939s	collusion not too bothered it looks like
22941s	the shop want to give a bit of ground
22942s	here
22944s	it's interesting they just kind of back
22946s	up right away as maybe they want to play
22948s	around some of this
22949s	high ground on the corner
22952s	okay multiple angle angles with that
22954s	hanzo widow set up this is very passive
22956s	though if this goes wrong for the shock
22958s	if they lose a player early
22960s	this has been all for noah they've given
22961s	up all this ground for free now finn is
22962s	able to deal with field at first
22964s	that's step one
22966s	and colluge takes a big shot there from
22968s	korea that
22970s	have to back up just a bit
22973s	here let's be careful as well because
22975s	we'll be recording that barrier every
22976s	now and then if he just gets mis-timed
22978s	and guri was able to find him that would
22979s	be devastating
22981s	good looks from san francisco they're
22982s	very conservative approach to this round
22986s	harmony wants to get aggressive here
22989s	they're getting some progress yeah they
22991s	knocked down clues so they have to back
22992s	up a little bit
22994s	what an angle from killer oh yeah that
22996s	is nicely done from proper though he's
22997s	got rid of sparkle just caught off on
22999s	colluge
23001s	there's no way oh my
23003s	you don't have a double sniper look here
23005s	from
23006s	the fuel
23007s	uh no if you were going to play like a
23009s	hanzo sparkle probably wouldn't be in
23011s	the game
23013s	this is maybe why you see san francisco
23015s	choose this map
23017s	feelings
23027s	throughout this event so
23029s	dragon not connecting there from proper
23032s	hoping to maybe play off the back of
23033s	that maybe the displacement effect but
23036s	it's no good
23037s	still respecting harvard's hyperspheres
23039s	here but harvey might be in some danger
23042s	very slow here
23044s	here comes the rally though that's chio
23046s	sending the troops forward fighter on
23047s	the batista classic pick from him
23050s	and harpin opens up the account proper
23052s	he's failed
23054s	yeah it was a gravity blocks from
23056s	colluge but not good enough to get any
23058s	kills
23059s	sparkle in the black back line
23062s	picking up some as
23064s	this will be a point take for the fuel
23067s	[Applause]
23072s	well if you'd forgotten about hardman
23073s	sigma
23075s	you've had your memory jogged
23077s	kalooz caught in the gravity flux there
23079s	i've been more than happy to just get
23081s	the sigma knowing durio and the rest of
23083s	the team would add damage in
23085s	san francisco don't have a brigitte here
23088s	playing around the immortality kills
23089s	more so and now proper moves away from
23091s	the hanzo to the genji try and put a
23093s	little bit more pressure probably on
23095s	chio and field remember brigitte doesn't
23097s	have that crowd control built in anymore
23099s	there's no burst healing from dallas so
23101s	they'll have to wait here
23103s	just whip shots for inspire a lot of
23104s	payload progress so like this one of the
23106s	harder areas to go up this hill and
23109s	it's pretty much gone uncontested is the
23111s	blade sparkle
23113s	eyeing off his first target oh proper
23115s	though
23117s	he'll back him up
23118s	immortality field was there for san
23120s	francisco harmony with the discord all
23122s	now a bit awkward for dallas to try and
23124s	back away in this scenario
23126s	kilo finds a pick here in dallas it down
23127s	to three make it two
23129s	yeah fin ends up holding onto the
23130s	transcendence there which is massive
23133s	maybe you think you're trying to force
23134s	out that transcendence with the blade
23136s	and he holds on to it so
23140s	transcendence still available here for
23142s	the shock collusion ton during that
23144s	fight to be able to build up to another
23145s	gravitic flux that's really fast and now
23148s	you control some of this high ground yet
23149s	again
23150s	being able to have violet play baptiste
23151s	here is a such a huge boon for san
23153s	francisco
23155s	throughput immortality field
23157s	amplification matrix
23158s	just so much damage between the zen and
23160s	the batista their poke is frankly messed
23162s	up
23164s	okay
23168s	needs a little more than this
23169s	[Music]
23171s	trying to predict a potential grapple
23173s	upwards there by kilo
23177s	discord
23178s	toulouse
23181s	okay shield down behind been here oh
23183s	kilo gets him
23185s	now that disco at all makes it tough to
23186s	survive without a shield
23189s	the discord some damage down from this
23191s	end and then a headshot
23193s	puts it away so now the shock
23196s	starting to look much better with this
23197s	type of setup yeah
23199s	this ain't great from dallas
23203s	this is a bit of a silver bullet map to
23204s	be fair it hasn't even really been like
23206s	a lot of ultimate since like turned this
23208s	tide it's just been they've been able to
23210s	get rid of han been shield rather
23212s	quickly because they have the advantage
23213s	in terms of damage output the discord
23216s	and then being able to burn him down
23217s	[Applause]
23219s	dallas need a pick here big time tough
23221s	angle for gurio to play so here's an
23223s	infrasight
23224s	full information for kilo
23228s	silence is the crowd
23233s	so proper gets away here
23236s	killer hit
23237s	with that poison mine here's a rally now
23239s	from chio gravity flux from colluge
23243s	oh right there so the the flux comes
23246s	down a few players go up in the sky they
23248s	haven't seen the transcendence in a
23250s	while it's a headshot on
23252s	uh it's gonna be a hedgehog akilo on the
23254s	fielder straight away so no opportunity
23257s	to pop that transcendence try and keep
23259s	everybody alive to combo it with that
23260s	rally
23262s	this kilo is really starting to heat up
23263s	on that widow
23266s	this might be the last chance for the
23267s	dallas fuel here
23270s	to make some progress
23272s	25 seconds left in the round it's gonna
23274s	have to be harmful to start this off
23278s	they have a transcendence as do the
23280s	shock
23281s	so the placement of this gravity flux is
23283s	very important that's a pick guru finds
23286s	kilo what more
23288s	[Applause]
23290s	it's proper with a blade though he jumps
23292s	down and takes down the widowmaker so
23293s	they traded here the flux comes in it's
23296s	going to be collude caught inside that
23297s	discord or the mortality field thrown
23299s	down to the bottom field is able to get
23300s	rid of it there but harmon's looking a
23302s	little low it's time for the
23303s	transcendence the shock still have
23304s	theirs they're holding on to it finn is
23306s	stunned
23307s	but now to pick himself back up as far
23309s	from over the shock have a key support
23311s	ultimate sparkle needs to find a way
23312s	around the transcendence with this blade
23315s	yeah that's what they're holding this
23316s	transcendence for the blade we gotta be
23318s	oh it's just gonna be a kill on the kilo
23320s	here's the transcendence but it's a
23322s	short-handed san francisco shock now
23325s	using that support ultimate buys them
23326s	some time
23328s	it's a player advantage now for san
23329s	francisco until tio gets rocked
23332s	harmon trying to find an accretion
23333s	connection of his own here and finn wins
23335s	the duel against sparkle the immortality
23338s	field from violet goes a long way to
23340s	preserving the lifespan of the shock and
23342s	violence back baby
23344s	dude
23345s	finn violet and colluge there go crazy
23350s	easy fin and collusion they're talking
23352s	about it is
23354s	no it's a nice kill there from proper on
23357s	a chio but
23359s	really it's
23360s	finn winning a 1v1 against sparkle zen
23363s	versus
23365s	the genji and then violet with that ant
23367s	matrix able to put down some extra
23368s	damage at the end so
23370s	dallas able to take that first
23372s	checkpoint get it very close to taking
23374s	the second
23375s	[Applause]
23376s	overall though not a great push from
23378s	dallas
23379s	not at all
23381s	i think if you're the shock you start to
23383s	build a little bit of momentum out of
23384s	this right
23385s	i feel like you have the advantage in
23387s	the widowmaker battle guerrilla did hit
23389s	some shots there but kilo is really
23391s	starting to heat up
23392s	you also have a little bit more
23394s	versatility in what you can play i like
23396s	the baptist center look better i'll be
23398s	honest with you
23399s	you have a lot more utility we talked
23401s	about brigitte in overwatch too she
23403s	she has great healing but that utility
23405s	essentially no longer really present
23407s	outside of the displacement effect you
23408s	have and a longer shield bash
23411s	being able to draw on a
23413s	a player like violet is huge
23415s	[Music]
23417s	so the team's talking about the
23419s	[Music]
23423s	i must piano
23424s	hold on beautiful
23431s	one
23432s	attackers incoming
23435s	that's that uh not a song you actually
23436s	need rights to
23442s	yeah i'm sure it's the last thing he's
23443s	thinking about
23445s	all right kilo is revealed he's just
23448s	jamming out
23450s	even under such a high pressure
23451s	situation nice to see that their level
23454s	heads are prevailing here
23456s	all right so we have sigma loops proper
23458s	on the hanzo double sniper from san
23460s	francisco plus the baptiste once more
23462s	feels like a better cop we'll see that's
23464s	true sparkle has to be so careful right
23466s	going through these doorways
23468s	oh man oh that's scary the fielder is so
23472s	low
23473s	finn though taken down gurio strikes
23475s	first
23476s	oh and second
23479s	a little bit of help to old mate sparkle
23481s	curio chimes in with the body shot kill
23484s	[Applause]
23486s	oh mike at three
23490s	and scorio coming to life here would
23492s	definitely be a game changer right as
23494s	you saw from kilo's perspective it'll
23497s	land a few shots on the fielder
23499s	you're able to just make him worry a bit
23502s	oh sparkle takes out finn make him worry
23504s	a bit that's a huge game difference
23507s	though zenyatta now for san francisco
23509s	means no discord orb
23514s	they're gonna stop to regroup here's a
23515s	lot of time that needs to come off the
23517s	clock but dallas look confident on
23519s	defense
23520s	kilo back to lumbridge with you
23524s	[Applause]
23527s	and get guru way ahead in terms of that
23529s	ultimate charge he could pop this
23530s	infrastructure if he wanted it for
23531s	essentially free
23534s	this violent ends up using the ant
23536s	matrix there
23537s	so maybe gonna be switching
23539s	that's a violet moment matt
23542s	i mean that's he's not switching he's
23544s	just violent switching yeah maybe they
23546s	thought they could get some kills out of
23547s	that and turn but
23549s	the frustration play
23551s	two minutes elapsed here
23554s	kilo goes upstairs
23559s	nothing
23561s	proper
23564s	feels the sharp edge of
23566s	sparkles wits and he'll make it through
23568s	the discord i'm helping
23571s	sparkle controlling this space and now
23573s	it's time for a spawn camp
23578s	he's limbering up a little bit
23580s	[Applause]
23581s	i mean this has been
23583s	[Applause]
23585s	this is impressive
23586s	it's a completely different half than i
23589s	expected because the shock started to
23590s	turn it on there towards the end dallas
23593s	battling back there's a headshot there
23594s	that was on the hun bin and then
23595s	agravitic blocks they have to use the
23597s	transcendence finn's able to win that
23598s	duel there and after the transcendence
23600s	field is in a weird spot facing down
23601s	collusion that side room but it gets
23603s	finn picks around the corner it's gonna
23606s	take a little more than that that we're
23607s	now the shock
23608s	sniffer the cheese oh go
23612s	all right tough for him there though
23613s	he's definitely gonna get eliminated
23614s	this will slow the shock down somewhat
23618s	i wasn't able to get that mini health
23619s	pack behind the barrier
23621s	shock with three now moving on and finn
23623s	has a transcendence in his back pocket
23626s	to lose some vandalism i see
23628s	you have the rally available here for
23630s	the fuel
23631s	i think it'll just be like infrasight
23633s	versus each other see what happens if
23635s	you know maybe there's some big damage
23636s	out of the han bin then the rally comes
23638s	through the rally is there there's a
23640s	discouragement
23642s	time is short rally used there by chio
23644s	immortality field already has to be used
23646s	and that's been taken down
23647s	durio knows exactly where proper is but
23650s	he can't stop finn
23652s	harmon's eliminated the front liner is
23654s	now down for dallas and they can still
23656s	hold on
23657s	kilo is removed sparkle thought about
23659s	trying to challenge finn there but he's
23661s	a little wary and that's the
23662s	transcendence now
23664s	sparkle is in trouble recall question
23666s	mark no
23668s	this will be that checkpoint here for
23669s	san francisco
23670s	and you're gonna have a few people get
23672s	this back spawn as they're trying to get
23674s	fielder out yeah fielder and han bin up
23677s	here closes the shocker going hunting
23679s	fin front lining here this is scary for
23681s	dallas they're going to get staggered
23682s	out at this rate harm in the field are
23684s	stuck in that back corner kalu's
23686s	pressuring them and here comes proper
23690s	is down now and dallas are in dire
23692s	straits they need to get out of this
23693s	room somehow but the colludes won't be
23694s	moved in a mortality field in play but
23696s	hartman still removes him proper looking
23698s	for chio but he gets smacked down
23705s	this is the stabilization here yeah the
23707s	payload will make it around this corner
23708s	but that could have been way worse for
23711s	the dallas fuel
23713s	patience from sparkly didn't chase the
23715s	kill on finn
23718s	dallas can now re-establish the high
23720s	ground advantage
23722s	gravity flux going for it here he's
23725s	caught two fins inside of it violet
23727s	explodes in mid-air be more powerful was
23729s	left but it's a pyrrhic victory for
23731s	violet is the rest of his team
23734s	gets run out of town
23738s	is what you have any mortality field
23740s	there but
23740s	[Applause]
23742s	no transcendence no rally type of
23744s	ultimate to keep you alive
23748s	that'll be proper getting finished off
23750s	as
23751s	dallas pushes up to the low ground uh
23753s	they're gonna yeah i would back up out
23755s	of here that's a really rough spot to
23756s	play out of
23759s	gravity flux here for colluse
23761s	pulse bomb
23764s	a little hard to deal with but as in
23765s	without a baptiste
23768s	goes down to one shot pretty much
23771s	sparkle a little low there his gravity
23773s	just hasn't been here transcendence to
23775s	make sure he doesn't drop below half and
23776s	it pays off
23777s	guerrilla has been picked up proper you
23779s	can see him in the back line there
23781s	sparkle doesn't realize he's there
23782s	either in a 1v2 sparkle has to recall
23785s	there's a risk of the pulse bomb here as
23786s	proper noses use that ability the
23788s	sparkle falls such a compromising
23790s	situation to be in prop is far from done
23793s	here builder sticks in with that discord
23794s	orb is going to be a recall from proper
23796s	now filter has to try and deal with them
23797s	but he just can't
23799s	i mean hanbin just tries everything
23802s	possible to take out violet and violet
23804s	able to stay alive all through there
23805s	that's huge because
23806s	it had no support here at the end 13
23809s	seconds left whichever way you slice it
23812s	this will be the last fight of this map
23815s	sparkle has a pulse bomb it has to be
23818s	world shattering
23820s	okay imprecise from both sides now
23821s	sparkle knows exactly where to go to
23823s	find the back line pulse bomb one chio
23825s	though he tries to trade it doesn't work
23827s	out guru gonna reposition it try for an
23829s	aggressive angle they need to stop the
23831s	shock of this card now it sticks there
23833s	violence immortality feels down and
23834s	collusion with a bionic grenade it works
23836s	out sparkle gets in but he has to trade
23839s	harden with fire and the gravity flux is
23840s	somehow dodged by finn he turns around
23843s	harping 90 degrees snap but kilo was
23846s	removed and they say this town ain't big
23848s	enough for the two of us dallas and fox
23863s	just not enough at the end from the
23865s	shock but man does dallas look scary
23867s	going into tomorrow
23869s	because they really turned it up to
23871s	another level in this match
23874s	this is the statement you want to be
23876s	making
23877s	on the eve
23879s	of the finals
23883s	dallas going tomorrow they have to play
23885s	two in aurora if they're gonna win this
23886s	thing yeah
23888s	and the last one is the first to four
23890s	so they best be conserving their energy
23892s	here but they've made the statement they
23893s	said
23894s	this is our town
23898s	and they're gonna go up against the top
23900s	atlanta reigns squad and one that had a
23902s	rough go against the gladiators but
23905s	one that could bring a bunch of
23906s	different comps out right they could
23907s	bring that doomfist they can bring some
23909s	reinhardt play
23910s	they're going to give them much
23911s	different looks than the shot gave him
23912s	today couple concerns on that map though
23914s	it was very close
23917s	playing the brigitte
23919s	and the zenyatta look
23921s	definitely dicey gurio was tested to be
23924s	sure
23925s	san francisco really quite the run but
23927s	they came into this tournament match as
23929s	the top seed and they just took a little
23932s	bit too long to get acclimated
23935s	to this environment
23936s	but by the time they come to they're in
23938s	the lower bracket facing elimination
23941s	the game is a great game but there's
23942s	something to be said
23944s	for that home crowd buff
23946s	i think as well if you're the shock
23949s	this is like your first time right here
23951s	on stage
23952s	it's a bit of a learning experience but
23954s	man
23955s	they did not look good today i think
23957s	there's gonna be some stuff they're
23958s	gonna have to go back to the drawing
23959s	board strategy wise because
23962s	some of these teams right when you get
23963s	to mid-season madness you get the teams
23965s	from the eastern division coming to play
23968s	it's gonna be even tougher competition
23971s	let's be frank for a moment here
23973s	that composition for dallas that map
23976s	not their best look no definitely maybe
23977s	a weak point that can be exploited
23980s	but for now they're thinking about
23981s	victory they're thinking about glory
23983s	that may await them tomorrow
23985s	but who's awaiting us right now but
23986s	danny down on the stage the interview
23988s	with sparkle
23989s	[Applause]
23991s	mr man thank you very much
23993s	yes i am right here next to sparkle from
23998s	[Applause]
24022s	i mean because we have to play two
24024s	matches so it is a bit tiring and um but
24027s	and san francisco shock is a tough
24029s	opponent but i think we beat him pretty
24031s	easily so i do feel good
24036s	and tomorrow the finals it is going to
24039s	be another i guess a a tough day for you
24042s	because you do have to play two matches
24044s	you have to play atlanta reign and then
24046s	the gladiators do any of those teams
24049s	scare you or are you worried at all
24051s	because you have to play two matches
24053s	again tomorrow
24097s	well first of all for uh for how we feel
24100s	um i think as a player uh really having
24103s	to control like how your well your
24105s	well-being is also a part of being a
24107s	player as well so i will take care of
24109s	that as for the matches of rip rear
24112s	ready to go up against the gladiators
24114s	who put us in the lower bracket we are
24117s	ready for that revenge so we're going to
24119s	get that as soon as possible
24122s	lady gentlemen again give it up for
24123s	sparkle
24124s	thank you
24125s	dallas mitchell man back to you see you
24128s	guys
24130s	[Applause]
24135s	undeniable levels of charisma there from
24138s	and again a fantastic game from him i
24140s	think that last night was tough though
24141s	what he had to play into a lot of poke
24144s	uh and proper was really starting to
24145s	heat up there so just as well they
24146s	managed to shut him down when they did
24149s	yeah it was
24150s	but it looked like the shock would have
24152s	been able to pull that one out but man
24153s	they just ran out of gas at the end i'm
24155s	excited to see dallas atlanta tomorrow
24157s	sparkle talking about getting revenge
24159s	against the gladiators
24161s	they should not look over atlanta
24162s	atlanta they had a rough game today did
24164s	not look great but i do not expect to
24166s	see that atlanta tomorrow no one would
24167s	love to spoil the atmosphere in this
24169s	place more than the atlanta oh i'm quite
24171s	sure of it let's talk about our player
24172s	the bachelor for now and allow dallas
24174s	and their fans to enjoy the victory
24175s	you'll play the match today in a series
24177s	is the one and only
24179s	sparkle i thought his tracer
24182s	was pretty impactful we were talking
24184s	about like if proper plays the tracer
24187s	and starts to go off like what is the
24190s	answer and we've seen sparkle play
24192s	tracer in the past and
24193s	it's better than expected and it always
24195s	seems to come through nothing too flashy
24197s	but consistently picking up these kills
24199s	throwback to the era where we were very
24202s	critical of the dallas fuel because they
24203s	didn't have a hit scan player on their
24204s	team they were still able to win and
24206s	look so good early last year primarily
24209s	because sparkle was just out to be such
24210s	a trans transcendent talent the combo of
24213s	him and doha but especially sparkles
24214s	tracer was incredible and and frankly we
24217s	wanted you know how that would go here
24219s	but this is insane
24221s	this is the proper stats from the game
24222s	that the shock won earlier today right
24224s	11.7 final blows per 10 that is a huge
24227s	effort in a game that has two less
24229s	players in the server we used to say 10
24230s	was awesome in 66. this is 11 in 5v5 a
24234s	big deal pulse bomb attach
24236s	north of 50 is like
24238s	top top percentile in league
24241s	consistently getting the supports of the
24243s	shock huge right because finn and violet
24245s	are such playmakers in that support role
24248s	and then also being able to put tons of
24249s	pressure on proper not allowing him to
24251s	just run rampant in your back line it's
24254s	a huge performance today from sparkle we
24256s	saw the san francisco shock just looked
24257s	incredible earlier today
24259s	something about that first round the
24261s	atmosphere in here dallas seeming like
24263s	they're on a different level can they
24265s	get that lightning in a bottle keep it
24266s	for tomorrow they're going to need it if
24268s	they're going to make it to the final
24269s	let's have our friends over at
24271s	watchpoint break this down it's been
24272s	incredible day of games as we go through
24275s	this lower bracket sad to send some
24276s	teams home let's head over to the crew
24278s	though and see what they've ever say
24279s	i'll watch one

24525s	hello and welcome to the watchpoint 4
24527s	shows over here joined by reinforce as
24529s	well as necro
24531s	by what a game that was doesn't it not
24534s	what was promised this was not what we
24536s	expected i certainly thought it's okay
24539s	we what i expected i thought it's going
24541s	to be a closer one you called it johnny
24543s	and you as well necro you guys you just
24546s	knew that the dallas fumes are gonna be
24548s	on absolute fire today and i mean they
24551s	put on a clinic nikara they were firing
24554s	on all cylinders every single individual
24556s	of that team was popping off
24560s	was there ever a moment where you
24562s	doubted them during this game
24566s	yeah i think so actually circuit royale
24568s	i was getting a little nervous looking
24570s	at the dallas fuel actually being able
24572s	to reverse swing the entire thing home
24575s	yeah i thought that the reverse sweep
24577s	could happen here really like like
24579s	circuit royale was such a smart decision
24581s	for the san francisco shock to be able
24583s	to take the dallas fuel to because it
24586s	forced them off of their comfort i mean
24588s	just look how good they were today on
24592s	the zarya and the reaper this is exactly
24595s	what we wanted to see out of this team
24597s	and san francisco had to do something to
24599s	get them off of it and circuit royale
24601s	was a really nice try
24606s	i mean the dallas fuel
24608s	yes they struggled a little bit
24611s	like necro said about circuit real but i
24613s	mean they were just like
24615s	magical
24616s	in this matchup it felt like they
24618s	finally like came alive in the season
24620s	it's such a huge difference
24622s	from the dallas fuel that got
24625s	three-owned by the houston outlaws in
24626s	the very first match of the season that
24629s	had had its you know ups and downs
24631s	against teams like the la gladiators
24632s	because of compositional choices the
24635s	pure aggression the
24637s	comfort of this team relying on your
24640s	teammates like moments like edison just
24642s	like
24643s	yeah i'm just going to walk into your
24645s	team because i know exactly when geo is
24647s	going to drop the sound barrier and i
24648s	have complete and utter faith in him
24650s	just dropping it um just
24653s	this absolute mind share of these i'm
24655s	just making up words as i go it's so
24658s	fantastic to see the dallas fuel compete
24660s	at this very level and it's like the
24662s	lower bracket just like unlocked
24664s	something with the dallas fuel and i
24666s	honestly can't wait to see more of them
24668s	tomorrow first against the atlanta reign
24670s	and i mean it look is it too early to
24672s	just call them like in the finals like
24674s	i'm sorry atlanta fans
24677s	like this
24680s	i'd be worried
24681s	i'd be worried about your allergies uh
24683s	necro that 3-0 sneezing thing you got
24685s	going on it might it might turn sour
24687s	look
24689s	oh my god someone actually like tweeted
24691s	at me and they were like hey you know
24692s	you've casted like seven three o's out
24695s	of the 12 matches that you've casted
24697s	this season right i'm like yeah this is
24699s	why like i have this problem right now i
24701s	am fighting back sneezes on the
24704s	broadcast at the moment
24706s	it's pretty bad
24710s	it's rough when teams trigger that i'm
24712s	i'm feeling for you well hopefully we
24713s	get treated to uh a little less of the
24716s	three o's and some closer matches
24718s	tomorrow because quite frankly some
24719s	portions of this one except from the
24721s	last map we're not close at all midtown
24723s	probably the hardest beatdown we had all
24725s	tournament long honestly like
24727s	that was brutal and you're saying like
24729s	it's so great to see the dallas fuel
24730s	finally being that team we thought they
24732s	would be and like coming alive
24734s	the opposite is true for the san
24735s	francisco shock unfortunately because we
24737s	had really high hopes for that team
24739s	coming into it and they struggled in the
24742s	kickoff clash from the very first match
24744s	to their very last match that is not the
24747s	shock that we got to enjoy over the last
24749s	what was it four weeks so 600
24752s	qualification matches the right yeah so
24754s	it's uh
24755s	yeah they uh they're definitely it's
24757s	going back to the drawing board for them
24760s	now of course uh we want to end this on
24762s	on a very high note therefore we're
24764s	going to look at our best of the day so
24766s	the preview we got
24768s	we'll get to that story sorry i threw
24770s	you off just just
24772s	i want to talk about best for the days
24774s	first all right and i have i have a very
24776s	neat one something we don't see too
24778s	often uh so i without any further ado i
24781s	just want to roll the clips and take a
24783s	look at what happens here because um for
24786s	me personally there's actually a first
24788s	it's the first time that we see twice
24790s	happening in one match
24792s	that's right
24794s	first i'm gonna look out yeah
24799s	i know that's a weird sentence we both
24800s	thought but the my best of the day
24803s	we don't mind which make the difference
24805s	did you see that
24807s	this is the best ability in the game zoe
24809s	yeah strongest ability in the game
24810s	actually nerfed here goes again that's
24812s	sparkle he's a tracer one of the best
24814s	trainers in the world
24816s	and off he goes there we go gets deleted
24818s	by the mine the disrespect
24821s	overpowered i say yeah should really
24823s	take a look at this someone should take
24825s	a look at that i don't know why it would
24826s	have tickled me because it happened
24828s	twice in a row it was just like
24830s	yeah into my mind
24832s	it's a stupid ability it just tilts you
24834s	you know just like oh i gotta take all
24836s	this damage
24837s	no
24838s	don't step into the mine either
24843s	i'm a winston i just like jump in there
24844s	and i'm like i'm here
24846s	this is my presence and i just deal with
24849s	it yeah you just deal with it
24851s	m1w
24853s	by dying that's exactly that's what
24855s	happens uh necra what was your highlight
24858s	today
24860s	well my highlight also comes from the
24862s	dallas fuel that sort of uh it's gonna
24865s	come from edison's reaper edison put on
24868s	an incredible performance today and look
24870s	at this 5k from the death blossom that
24873s	edison was able to pull out of his back
24875s	pocket like holy moly i want to see it
24877s	again like that's just the best beyblade
24881s	we've seen in a while we haven't seen
24882s	too many like full team wipes either
24884s	from an ultimate and so it was just
24886s	really special to me
24889s	i mean he was
24890s	he was such a beast today
24893s	is actually scary like straight up
24896s	well like in person too if you met a
24898s	editor would you just be like
24900s	like walk away hi i don't think we've
24903s	ever met him i might be scared
24906s	yeah i don't know maybe i'd be a little
24907s	he's probably a nice guy
24911s	he seems really nice
24913s	that
24914s	he seems nice you can be nice and scary
24916s	at the same time it's not mutually
24917s	exclusive this is called respect it's
24918s	like some
24919s	traffic
24921s	respect on the name of edison he
24923s	definitely deserved that now who else uh
24925s	should be shown some respect today
24927s	jonathan
24928s	uh the ground you need to show some
24930s	respect to the ground zoe right that's
24932s	right because you never know what lurks
24933s	in the ground you got to be careful you
24935s	keep yourself on the high ground on the
24937s	high pedestals watch out how are we
24939s	going with it because uh kevster he's
24941s	making the ground pretty fearful
24943s	oh look at how he hits this pulse bomb
24945s	like you know completely intentional
24947s	ultraviolet's in the air taking a bit of
24949s	a free fall here boot off with reiner
24951s	it's a really team synergy more than
24953s	anything else because reiner knew that
24956s	this would be the exact location that
24958s	eventually ultraviolet
24960s	which is completely abandoned
24962s	it's gorgeous
24963s	it's like it's like a it's like a i
24965s	don't want to say it's a party trick
24966s	because my parties will not land at full
24968s	spots but it's a bit of a you know a
24969s	clown clown trick a couple tricks yeah
24972s	you know
24974s	circus trick is what i'm thinking about
24975s	there's another clown shake a circus
24977s	yeah i love that like hey we're going to
24979s	boop up this area and there's a post
24981s	ball on the ground
24982s	it looks choreographed yeah exactly i
24984s	can appreciate that now speaking of
24987s	clowns and circuses and i mean what goes
24989s	well with high notes high notes there we
24992s	go
24993s	and why did i think of that one we got a
24995s	bonus best of the day uh but we're gonna
24997s	listen in for that one so i lean back
24999s	relax
25000s	and enjoy the sound of music
25013s	[Music]
25016s	wow
25016s	[Music]
25018s	this is
25029s	heading into this game
25032s	do you think shulk they practice too
25033s	much piano leaving into the tournament
25035s	you don't know maybe not christmas
25036s	there's a reason
25037s	take a look at this yeah what are they
25038s	doing at the lobbies whether it's in
25039s	piano or playing the game have a stern
25041s	talking to the coaches although it did
25043s	like that was that was a sweet little
25044s	melody
25045s	i did enjoy the song of dallas fuels
25048s	people too uh it's aggressive it would
25050s	be amazing this is my request if there's
25053s	ever a tournament in dallas again that's
25054s	like their walk out music
25056s	that's that's it music
25058s	actually yeah i need that yeah i can't
25061s	replicate it there was two it was too
25062s	masterfully precise yeah yeah something
25065s	about it something like that but
25068s	walk up music
25070s	license it gotta copyright that yeah
25072s	someone someone's gotta get on that um
25075s	anyway i want to take a look at the
25077s	brackets to see what happened the last
25079s	three days and trust me it was a lot uh
25082s	we had some absolute highs some very low
25085s	lows we're starting here in the eastern
25087s	region where uh we had some surprises as
25089s	well which uh ended up with the
25092s	philadelphia fusion in at the finals
25094s	they are currently waiting for either
25096s	the seoul dynasty or for the shanghai
25099s	dragon so that will be a rematch a
25102s	double rematch as they just recently
25103s	played against them before that match
25106s	and that one went in favor of the dragon
25107s	so i guess on their scoreboard it's 1-1
25109s	right now that would be the ultimate
25111s	winner for for their winners the
25113s	ultimate winner of the loser bracket yes
25116s	then maybe the winner break too but in
25118s	the panels so one of them and the other
25120s	one will lose and that's my analysis for
25122s	this game uh now of course i'm going to
25124s	take a look at our lower bracket as well
25125s	exactly so it was a 50 50 chance good
25128s	math um yeah lower bracket i think i
25130s	think a lot of teams ended up in here
25132s	which we did not expect necra
25136s	yeah i mean just look at the fact that
25138s	we had fuel versus the shock just a
25141s	second ago and that we also had you know
25143s	mayhem down here outlaws down here it
25146s	was just an absolute weird one given
25148s	that yesterday i don't think a lot of
25151s	people expected to be in this situation
25153s	just looking at the predictions sorry i
25155s	do have to call that back up
25157s	but you know now we've got
25159s	versus the rain leading into
25162s	the uh the next match it's gonna be
25164s	really really fun to see
25167s	absolutely yeah i mean looking at the
25169s	lower bracket where you get to see the
25171s	dallas fuel and the shock facing off
25172s	which i had in my grand final
25175s	so yeah crazy things happen things
25177s	happen but we do have a few more matches
25179s	coming your way uh so let's take a look
25181s	at tomorrow's schedule so you know
25184s	exactly what to spend your sunday with
25187s	and you will be treated of course once
25190s	again first in the eastern region uh
25193s	with their
25194s	matches we have two of them coming your
25197s	way and
25198s	afterwards we don't know the second one
25200s	yet because shanghai and seoul's gonna
25201s	have to figure it out you know who's
25203s	playing philly there you go right so
25205s	this is what you can expect overnight
25207s	once more of course if you're unwilling
25210s	for whatever reason that might be to get
25212s	up at three in the morning we will fill
25214s	you in after everything maybe it's three
25216s	in the morning where they are huh maybe
