1103s | really been waiting for to see the best |
1105s | of Europe and North America going up |
1107s | against the Titans frankly from Asia I'm |
1110s | I'm a little worried for them honestly |
1111s | with the strength that Falcons and crazy |
1113s | raccoon have shown they look really now |
1117s | I remain hopeful about SSG and Toronto |
1120s | Defiance so we'll find out today soe you |
1122s | know I want to say you the voice of |
1123s | reason in this event but you're |

1167s | all month long where you can celebrate |

1174s | also uh there is a new graphic novel |
1176s | which actually features our newest hero |
1178s | Venture that's right we're going to dive |
1181s | deeper into the backstory of this |
1183s | non-binary hero showcasing their heroism |
1185s | that takes place at a dick site on ilos |
1188s | also we witness never before seen |
1191s | interactions between vure and other |
1192s | OverWatch there is like Mar for example |
1195s | and you can even listen to a read |
1198s | through by V voice actor Valeria so |
1201s | definitely worth checking out I love |
1204s | venous design it's so fun it's so quirky |
1206s | I can't wait to read this graphic novel |
1208s | I'm not the biggest Loree head but |
1209s | Venture is quickly becoming one of my |
1210s | favorite heroes in the game just like |
1212s | gameplay wise so so much fun and it's |
1214s | sweet to see them really being employed |
1215s | by the best teams in the world here |
1217s | looking like I think one of the most |
1219s | important heroes in this current meta |
1220s | and some of our voice actors they're |
1222s | Hero at dream of course they've some |
1223s | meet and greet so you can find a voice |
1225s | actor so you can give them a chat that's |
1227s | right I so lots of stuff to celebrate |
1229s | and we of course also will be awarded |

1252s | Fantastic competion uh competition |
1254s | rather uh with so many great faces in |
1258s | the OverWatch e I always welcome some |
1260s | Venture skins Jak I got the ice cream |
1262s | one but I'm ready for this one too I |
1264s | like that recolor I've been using the |
1265s | default Venture skin cuz I I like the |
1267s | default skin it's it's like some Heroes |
1269s | I feel like the default is just Venture |
1271s | and soj it's hard to compete the default |
1273s | is just so sick the rhinard default has |
1275s | Aura I'm just saying maybe it's because |
1276s | I'm watching too much super but default |
1278s | skin with like the the Jade or gold |
1280s | weapon I mean that's the that's the |
1281s | classic you're also doing it from like |
1283s | the competitive side of it right if |
1284s | you're rocking up in a default skin you |
1286s | know you know things are serious there |
1288s | you're showing presents |
1289s | exactly I think that's like some weird |
1292s | establishing dominance in there |
1294s | somewhere but I have to say for the |
1296s | Reinhard Spark all the way nothing beats |
1299s | to spark Reinhard skin no I'm agre |

1455s | big way I do I do love it I feel like |
1457s | I'm a hoarder I'm a name card hoarder |
1459s | you're a hoarder I have so many name |
1460s | cards I'm not going to lie I like some |
1462s | of the profile icons but that would |
1463s | require me to change off the chwan tarer |
1466s | which is not going to happen so you know |
1467s | those those are nice they are nice |
1469s | speaking of side things of course if |
1471s | you're not here in Texas with us you |
1473s | still can get your uh rewards we have |
1476s | viewership and stims once again for |
1478s | watching for a certain amount of hours |
1480s | you see all the details on your screen |
1482s | all you have to do is of course connect |
1483s | your bnet account to your preferred |
1486s | streaming platform where you can catch |
1488s | all the action uh that's right do that |
1491s | right now I mean at this point I think |
1493s | everyone has done it right you don't |
1494s | have to type drops in the chat though |
1497s | but maybe you should if you five |
1499s | exclamation point drops in the chat it |
1500s | won't help you yet then you just have to |
1502s | watch so don't do it but it would be |
1503s | funny but it but it will be funny cuz it |
1505s | is a meme BS BS drops drops where's |
1510s | Danny every time I hear drops I think of |
1512s | Danny or of the weird 2021 skit that we |
1515s | did with custa we'll never forget some |
1517s | weird years time it was yeah yeah it is |
1521s | a bit of a throwback but let's look |
1523s | ahead into the future or let's just |
1525s | start with the present why not uh |
1527s | because we want to talk about the game |
1528s | games we get to see today on this very |
1531s | stage let's start off with the brackets |
1533s | to see where we're currently standing as |
1535s | we are eliminating some teams today |
1537s | here's a lower bracket so the teams |
1539s | which are still in the lower bracket |
1541s | they're fighting for their lives right |
1542s | now NS and M80 both waiting for their |
1545s | respective opponents which will drop |
1547s | down from the upper bracket so obvious |
1549s | at this point it is a double elimination |
1551s | bracket that we're playing here at our |
1553s | owcs mangor in Dallas Texas so uh let's |
1557s | take a look at where we are at in the |
1559s | upper bracket we kick things off with |
1561s | our number one EMA seat SG that will be |
1564s | going up against the number two seat |
1566s | from uh our Asian region uh team Falcons |
1569s | of course I'm very interested to see |
1572s | where those two teams are taking because |
1574s | I think we've got some really really |
1575s | interesting looks from both of those |
1577s | teams on our day one here uh let's |
1580s | actually start with SSG though and let's |
1582s | go further back in just one day Johnny |
1584s | because they had quite a glow up in owcs |
1586s | you know they came in expectations High |
1588s | lots of name value obviously on those |
1590s | teams stage one probably a bit of a |
1592s | disappointment to them they they ended |
1594s | it in fourth but then stage two the |
1596s | winning it all incredible performances |
1599s | across the board how are we feeling I |
1601s | mean this has been a really long journey |
1603s | for SSG even dating back to the over |
1605s | Wars league with Lon Spitfire of course |
1607s | had a really tough 2022 and then brought |
1610s | it all back 23 of course and now really |
1612s | establish yourself with an identity |
1615s | Hardy Reinhardt of course but |
1617s | progressively I feel like this this core |
1619s | has improved over time they've added |
1621s | versatility of course hardi can play a |
1623s | lot of Winston now psycho coming into |
1625s | the mix with that Tracer gameplay but |
1627s | really for these guys they've never |
1629s | really been considered an elite team |
1631s | they've never really competed with the |
1632s | best teams around the world until this |
1635s | year and yes they finished fourth in |
1636s | stage one behind ex Oblivion of course a |
1638s | bit of a disappointment for this squad |
1640s | but then came back in stage two with a |
1642s | Vengeance and really these players |
1644s | firing on all cylinders but I feel like |
1646s | they have they have a little bit of a |
1648s | incentive here in this tournament |
1650s | specifically because they don't feel |
1651s | like they get the props hardi I'm |
1653s | willing to say hardi is the Best Western |
1655s | tank player right we have right now I |
1658s | think he's earned himself that role with |
1659s | his versatility sparker never discussed |
1662s | when it comes to Elite hit scan players |
1663s | around the world but the way sparker has |
1665s | been playing I really do think that this |
1667s | guy deserves some props he's really |
1668s | taken it to the best players we have in |
1671s | EMA and now in international stage I |
1673s | feel like he could go head-to-head |
1675s | against lip and at least a possibility |
1677s | of proving himself against some of these |
1679s | best players around the world so I'm |
1681s | really looking forward to see what thisg |
1682s | got in store I mean Landon wasn't even |
1684s | on Team USA but has one of the best |
1686s | batist in the world and also the KIRO |
1688s | play has been phenomenal so this is an |
1690s | SG Squad that is really motivated want |
1692s | this win so bad I saw Psych on Twitter |
1695s | he's tweeting the LeBron James GIF like |
1697s | he's all over the place he's motivated |
1698s | he wants to get this dub so I'm really |
1700s | excited to see what they can bring to an |
1702s | international competition and I think I |
1703s | think funny Astro for me is is we're not |
1705s | just talking Regional I think funny |
1707s | Astro is in the serious conversation |
1708s | about best Lucio player in the entire |
1710s | world I think this is one of the most |
1712s | important heroes in the current meta |
1713s | we're seeing almost everyone using Lucio |
1715s | occasionally people play Dive with the |
1716s | brri but even the dive style I mean |
1718s | space station they don't swap the Lucio |
1720s | they go Lucio Kiri they make it work |
1721s | incredibly well and so the asset that |
1723s | funny Astro offers them perfect perfect |
1726s | Synergy with this team I think Landon as |
1727s | well just slotting in exactly where they |
1729s | want to be but also showing the |
1730s | versatility to play Sigma yesterday I |
1732s | think they're going to need that against |
1733s | a team like Falcons thises this just a |
1735s | team which has such a strong identity |
1737s | and the way they're approaching in the |
1738s | game and that's why I'm extra excited uh |
1741s | about what we saw from team Falcons |
1743s | yesterday because they showed us a look |
1745s | that we haven't really seen before they |
1746s | played this double Flex DPS with the |
1748s | Marga composition you are quite |
1750s | intrigued by it uh does that change the |
1752s | way you think these games are going to |
1754s | go I I for me after watching Falcons and |
1757s | crazy raccoon yesterday I think this is |
1760s | the read of the meta for me it is this |
1762s | MAA rush I mean for me what end showed |
1765s | the sigma playing very slow defensively |
1767s | protecting the hit scan trying to |
1769s | counter these malga rushes I think |
1771s | that's the best thing you can do and it |
1772s | just fell flat I mean you got one draw |
1775s | against Falcons I do think SSG is a |
1777s | stronger team I think they have a better |
1779s | shot against Falcons but for me the |
1781s | teams coming out the apack region are |
1783s | just head and shoulders above the |
1785s | competition right now no one has made |
1787s | really more than a dent in the armor I |
1789s | think you've got to look at proper as |
1790s | yes he's been playing hit scan for the |
1792s | most part in this season a lot of people |
1793s | have been talking about as lip as the |
1795s | best hit scan but for me the place |
1796s | proper is undoubtedly the best in the |
1798s | world is when it comes to flexibility |
1800s | outside of hitan he's Elite on the hitan |
1802s | but when he brings out the Genji I mean |
1804s | I I think also world class when it's the |
1806s | Tracer also world class no other dpls |
1808s | player in the world has as many Heroes |
1810s | where he's in consideration for top one |
1813s | for me with fielders Anna how consistent |
1816s | he was Landing these aggressive bades |
1818s | yes you're going to die a lot when the |
1819s | malga runs in Lucio comes in the Anna's |
1821s | left hanging out to dry but Fielder |
1823s | makes it work with absolutely no |
1825s | resources he finds those aggressive |
1827s | nades he's there to able proper and just |
1829s | the potential of this team is incredibly |
1831s | explosive stalker has shown yet more |
1833s | flexibility bringing out the Hanzo and |
1835s | just being deadly accurate on this hero |
1838s | but at the same time he's got the |
1839s | creativity to look like one of the best |
1841s | Ventures right now at least their read |
1842s | on how to execute with this magga is |
1844s | just incredibly clean incredibly good I |
1847s | think Falcons right now is the team to |
1849s | beat I think crazy raccoon is incredibly |
1850s | impressive as well but I like this read |
1852s | of no hit scan we have we have no |
1854s | backline you can kill my Anna but we've |
1857s | already finished the rest of your te by |
1858s | the time you're done dealing with Anna |
1860s | and so for me I think what Falcons is |
1861s | rocking is going to be what we're going |
1863s | to see in the grand finals I think it'll |
1864s | be Falcons I think they're right now for |
1866s | me I don't think anyone is beating the |
1868s | apack teams I think this is going to be |
1870s | a really favorite match for Falcons well |
1872s | let's find out we are ready the teams |
1875s | are ready is our audience |
1877s | ready that's what I thought so let's get |
1879s | this show |
1886s | going they clut up in the final seconds |
1890s | and mat8 aren't out of this just yet an |
1893s | take the round take the map and start |
1895s | off the series |
1897s | strong what thecus will be the champion |
1900s | this Primal you cannot do anything about |
1902s | it students of the game are headed to |
1904s | land folks and space station demolish |
1908s | end and claim the title of stage two |
1910s | Champions the new Kings of EU have been |
1913s | crowned Twisted Minds take the series |
1916s | and it's a 3-0 victory for raccoons the |
1919s | revenge is there Toronto to fight Tower |
1923s | over the competition and your backto |
1925s | back stage |
1932s | Champions and now it's time to meet the |
1934s | teams dream AC Dallas put your hands |
1937s | together for space station |
1942s | gaming our EMA State F Champions packed |
1945s | with veteran experience from years past |
1947s | they've been here before they know what |
1948s | it takes in Playoff scenarios and |
1950s | they're arguably playing the best |
1951s | OverWatch in their careers with sparker |
1953s | flank heavy Cassidy leading the way and |
1955s | finding opening paks and land on holding |
1957s | it down with bati and KIRO in the |
1958s | backline the big question for me what |
1961s | tanks will we see them lean on this |
1963s | tournament as it develops we know Hardy |
1965s | can brawl and also play the Winston dive |
1967s | but will we see the Hardy reinard come |
1969s | out on some of these maps to maybe throw |
1971s | a bit in the wrench of |
1973s | things and their opponents everybody |
1976s | give it up for team |
1979s | [Applause] |
1979s | [Music] |
1981s | Falcons this Falcons Squad might be |
1983s | going up against fan favorites but these |
1985s | players are no strangers to crushing |
1987s | dreams one of the strongest rosters ever |
1989s | assembled in the history of OverWatch |
1991s | proper MVP bookie of the year in his |
1994s | first season in the OverWatch league and |
1996s | he has only continued to shine brighter |
1998s | who better to match him than players |
2000s | like Chio and fielder one of the most |
2002s | story backlines in OverWatch history a |
2005s | surfit of ridiculous Talent on this |
2007s | squad this is a terrifying team to be |
2009s | facing off against in the server today |
2011s | team |
2013s | Falcons now we met the teams it's time |
2016s | to meet our casters bringing you all the |
2018s | action for our first match of the day of |
2020s | course Mr X and Uber thank you very much |
2023s | so and the desk great to see how teams |
2026s | hit the stage here our top team from EMA |
2029s | and our number two from the Asia region |
2031s | The Whispers have been that there might |
2032s | be a changing of guard in Asia a lot of |
2034s | teams are fearing Falcons even more than |
2036s | crazy raccoon yeah I mean they did not |
2038s | look like number two yesterday I mean |
2040s | they they were sick yesterday uh |
2042s | something that they've been doing uh |
2043s | throughout that we've watched is they've |
2045s | been running this kind of like Anna |
2046s | composition there uh with the MAA and |
2049s | you know Fielder and the Anna so yeah |
2050s | really leaning I think into what Fielder |
2052s | can provide on that Anna but you know |
2054s | this team has depth on their roster when |
2057s | they want to play the Baptist mjid comes |
2059s | in looked really good on that role he |
2060s | said I'm not really to playing ERI right |
2062s | now my job is to play that Baptist and |
2065s | of course that you can use Smurf and |
2066s | Harin interchangeably here there's a |
2069s | ridiculous amount of death something |
2071s | that of course the raccoons also boast |
2072s | at the T position but this is actually |
2075s | the more veteran Squad of our apack |
2078s | Representatives a terrifying backline in |
2080s | the the first map today uh will be ilos |
2083s | so not the best draw here for uh SSG I |
2087s | did love yesterday right I know it's |
2089s | like oh well let's try and take Falcons |
2091s | to a map or maybe they don't play the |
2092s | MAA it's like okay well they have hanen |
2096s | they just put hanen in like it's not |
2098s | like like it's some know huge kind of a |
2100s | know gap between those two players but |
2103s | uh I think Jake was mentioning it a |
2104s | little bit on the desk where you did see |
2106s | some versatility out of SSG yesterday |
2108s | don't believe we saw any MAA so uh it'll |
2111s | be interesting if they decide to maybe |
2112s | even try and bring that out I don't |
2113s | think you can play you know Reinhardt |
2116s | you know traditional SSG style uh |
2118s | against like a MAA kind of composition |
2121s | uh hottie obviously he's been working on |
2124s | lots of different tanks for a while in |
2126s | terms of know getting up to speed or up |
2128s | to the know highest caliber of skill on |
2131s | them so uh maybe you see like a sigma |
2134s | here from hardi but uh |
2136s | oh why' you make that it feels it feels |
2139s | a little rough because also you you got |
2141s | to bear in mind that our teams from from |
2144s | Asia also aren't afraid to play uh dive |
2147s | they can play Dive there are maps are |
2149s | required I think ilos out of all the |
2150s | control Maps is the kind of stage where |
2153s | that's very viable we've seen a lot of |
2155s | like let's take ruins for example right |
2156s | we have seen teams want to play signal |
2158s | play the left side or play Reinhardt in |
2159s | the pit and and brawl out Mal just seems |
2162s | to far more suited uh on so many of |
2165s | those context here and it's something |
2166s | that Europe hasn't really adopted at the |
2169s | same rate but uh I think it was God it |
2172s | was liar that was saying that you know |
2174s | this one comp this this mag comp a lot |
2176s | of regions have start it's just starting |
2177s | to creep into a lot of regions well the |
2179s | one thing that Falcons has been doing |
2181s | though is right they've been playing it |
2182s | with like Genji Venture which is |
2184s | something that's a little bit different |
2185s | so SSG playing a little bit slower maybe |
2188s | around like a sparker kind of Cassidy |
2190s | with how aggressive you're going to be |
2192s | with you know MAA Venture Genji in |
2194s | combination with Anana uh it it's going |
2196s | to be real difficult keeping that Cy |
2198s | alive we don't always we're not always |
2199s | so direct when we ask players questions |
2201s | I think about their matches but when we |
2203s | spoke uh you know I think when we spoke |
2206s | with a few teams and I think when we |
2207s | spoke to an Kai we just asked Kai why |
2210s | did you lose to SSG just straight up try |
2212s | to try to give a direct question he said |
2214s | well sparker was flanking all the time |
2216s | and he absolutely ruined us you know and |
2219s | look to have a team call out one player |
2221s | as a reason for them being unraveled and |
2222s | of course the context is that that was |
2224s | that EMA stage to final uh but that was |
2228s | a big problem so space station here |
2229s | we've got a lot of tools in a deadly |
2232s | Arsenal but they're dealing with the |
2233s | Falcons here who've already shown |
2235s | dominance on stage |
2238s | yesterday and SG know they're up against |
2241s | it and what better way to really examine |
2242s | these regs take the best from Europe and |
2244s | take the second seed from Asia and if |
2246s | this isn't close if our Falcons team |
2249s | just rolls over them then I fear for any |
2251s | reason he wants to challenge Asia right |
2252s | now yeah and I I uh I highly doubt that |
2255s | Falcons is going to let sparker just |
2257s | kind of wander around in those flights |
2259s | uh kind of like how an was talking about |
2261s | so uh as we get into game obviously |
2264s | still some time to you know make some |
2265s | changes across the board space station |
2267s | this is something you can definitely see |
2268s | them play right you know this is in |
2270s | their wheelous of compositions that feel |
2273s | good yeah it's right up the rally folks |
2276s | here we go out of the gates onto well |
2279s | to start off this |
2281s | series this is of course an AER bracket |
2284s | match a semi-final here no elimination |
2287s | on the line but falling down to the |
2288s | lower bracket could prove to be even |
2290s | more treacherous at this state of |
2292s | competition and the one thing that is |
2293s | seemed pretty consistent with Falcons |
2295s | thus far you know you're changing the |
2297s | DPS line you're changing the tank this |
2299s | anol Lucio uh seems to be favoring this |
2301s | so far here for f i mean again har |
2304s | Baptist keep get far to up I think |
2306s | that's a huge consideration that's |
2308s | beautiful though Smurf gets caught in |
2309s | that side room trying to go a little bit |
2311s | aggressive stalker needs a longer fight |
2313s | to have impact but now everyone's |
2315s | looking at the fire with the Doom out of |
2316s | the picture and sparker is's able to |
2318s | play boots on the ground deal with |
2320s | proper appropriately and stalker lacks |
2323s | teammates in a big way but for a recall |
2325s | there from psycho while he was trying to |
2327s | threat Fielder and he got to get up |
2328s | early in the morning to challenge this |
2329s | guy he almost gets a second there I mean |
2332s | that's like a 2v one scenario there on |
2334s | Fielder incredible he's actually been |
2336s | able to get one as uh is space station |
2338s | in control of the point first and I |
2341s | think a positive sign for SSG as you saw |
2344s | that they were able to keep everybody |
2345s | alive sparker long enough to make a dent |
2348s | on that cidy where you know especially |
2350s | against a team like Falcons and with a |
2352s | composition with far A tracer doomfist |
2354s | he's going to have to be sick how can te |
2357s | might struggle with this composition at |
2358s | times we haven't seen much out of the |
2360s | doomfist yet stalk build that Barrage at |
2364s | the very least we haven't seen him |
2366s | credited for too many of those |
2367s | eliminations |
2369s | either takes a licking there briefly I |
2371s | think psycho really trying to check the |
2372s | location of this far when possible and |
2374s | then inhabit the right hand side of the |
2375s | map by the coastline here's the DI Smurf |
2378s | going to get an N boost here in stalker |
2379s | wants to follow it up instantly come and |
2381s | find a kill with that barrage but psycho |
2383s | finds a double with the pulse smurfed up |
2385s | the Nano and then just fell init no I |
2389s | think he actually just kind of SN |
2390s | himself off the side I would love to get |
2393s | another view of that but I'm pretty sure |
2395s | when uh he got the Nano there's like a |
2396s | rocket punch kind of whiffed on a player |
2398s | and actually may have not have had the |
2400s | slam right cuz he slam into punch and |
2402s | then ends up off the side yeah have to |
2405s | have to get another angle at that well |
2406s | that might have been the round there |
2407s | Matt D Nano you don't have beat to play |
2410s | Within space station are in a very |
2412s | strong position ultimate economy |
2415s | wise maybe a Magic Moment from proper to |
2417s | salvage this situation may be in order |
2420s | immortality field have to use it for |
2421s | himself here but here's the response |
2423s | sberry for space station they turn and |
2425s | after the threat of the doomfist sparker |
2427s | eventually able to bring him down |
2428s | Fielder elsewhere got picked off by |
2430s | psycho what a tracer showing we're |
2432s | seeing from psycho here and this round |
2434s | is over yeah he was just uh thinking |
2436s | that as well know how we said we had to |
2438s | you know see sparker really play at a |
2440s | high level psycho here to open things up |
2442s | it's been fantastic soccer and to go |
2444s | over play the soj here at the end just |
2446s | trying to keep this one in overtime for |
2447s | Falcon it's got to be a proper pulse |
2449s | it's got to be something pretty |
2450s | brilliant here the side this round May |
2452s | spoke a little too soon but Falcons can |
2454s | only really trickle in at this point |
2456s | here's that sound barrier ch finally |
2458s | able to build it up how do falcons make |
2459s | use of this window they get rid of |
2461s | sparker here's the annihilation though |
2462s | landed in Morality field has expired |
2464s | that protection layer is gone for space |
2466s | station in fact SSG May opt at some |
2469s | point in this fight to give it up but |
2471s | land is kept alive psycho turns over |
2473s | just the right time and proper is down |
2476s | now Falcons are running on fumes forced |
2478s | her back away Fielder takes a lot of |
2480s | poking users of suu there maybe just a |
2482s | window to get some healing through their |
2484s | inv vulnerability psycho's patience he's |
2486s | ready field EV brought down now pulse |
2489s | bomb doesn't quite connect but we'll |
2490s | open up the space metor strike |
2493s | honestly even if you thought that space |
2496s | station would get off to a great start |
2498s | you probably don't even think it looks |
2499s | as good as that I mean now that looked |
2501s | really strong there for SG in our first |
2505s | point on |
2506s | ilos can they do it again put Falcons on |
2509s | the back foot in this series so uh this |
2512s | is a uh a point here no I like how you |
2514s | can play obviously the MOG is really |
2516s | strong here going into this type of area |
2519s | looks like essentially hovering The |
2520s | Venture though uh for Falcon to a little |
2522s | bit of a different work Smurf really did |
2525s | punch off the map on Nano |
2527s | boost the probably was around there just |
2530s | kind of being tossed away really hard to |
2532s | come back from that for balcons maybe |
2535s | some Jitters despite the ridiculous |
2537s | veterancy of this team we have a life re |
2540s | here for Chio prop on the far yeah so we |
2542s | saw them run this with the uh likely |
2545s | with the other day with the far uh in |
2547s | you can use that pedal to kind of get |
2549s | that far up in the sky without using I |
2551s | know a lot of the |
2553s | propellers quite low as it is Hardy now |
2556s | on the win so these are two tanks that |
2558s | we've seen from hardi thus far that can |
2560s | be really effective but psycho yet again |
2562s | making play to the backline there with |
2564s | Astro this dive composition feels very |
2566s | powerful against what the f are trying |
2567s | to do yeah especially with the life |
2569s | Weaver they switch it up over to the |
2571s | brick here they're going to mirror this |
2573s | dive stalker switches over to the |
2575s | echo yeah I mean this is something that |
2577s | felt obviously should be extremely |
2579s | strong on no Lucio in play I think |
2581s | you're really doing this because youy |
2583s | has been making really nice play for the |
2585s | backline trying to keep the other up so |
2588s | now the question can space station hang |
2589s | with Falcons in the dive this will be a |
2592s | huge proof of concept for this team prop |
2594s | has to recall there fny Astro ensures |
2597s | it threatening he can't recall again he |
2599s | has to go back to the mega that's going |
2600s | to open up a bit of space here on the |
2602s | point giio as well sees psycho go to |
2604s | Chase prop her down and is able to |
2606s | defend him but feels in trouble he's in |
2607s | deep trouble to get topped up briefly |
2610s | sparker though has an off angle he's |
2611s | undetected right now but Hardy gets |
2612s | burnt down by the focusing beam again |
2614s | it's proper Under Pressure this type |
2615s | land it finishes the job but in the |
2617s | meantime prob was able to find funny |
2619s | Astro Falcons have the numbers and they |
2621s | flipped the point yeah and I think SSG |
2623s | they actually thought they had a kill |
2624s | there onto uh py finishes off Smurf I |
2629s | mean you're still going to have to back |
2630s | up here you're not going to be able to |
2631s | just kind of you have a window straight |
2632s | away you do have a slight window here as |
2634s | the point probably will end up flipping |
2636s | off that just want kill on the Winston |
2638s | Smurf charging too deep hard now the |
2641s | Primal Rage looks like he's inside that |
2642s | Mega room so Falcons are going to |
2643s | struggle stalker just got Nano kept |
2646s | alive going be waiting for an |
2647s | opportunity to make a duplication does |
2649s | it look like Winston is the option here |
2652s | Gio also made that rally happen and |
2654s | there's a proper pole Spar out of the |
2656s | picture that's the Cy gone look Falcon |
2659s | be a to flip it back pretty quickly Max |
2661s | more back and forth round here yeah I |
2664s | mean this one uh this is the type of |
2665s | pace though I feel like that falcon |
2667s | totally fine with right they want to |
2669s | like this really fast aggressive style |
2672s | allowing coer to just kind of run around |
2674s | and the Tracer do as he pleas it as uh |
2676s | you'll get up to near near a tie game |
2679s | here when this next fin will kind of |
2681s | break down it's yeah as has beat I mean |
2684s | this is huge he's that Primal from Smurf |
2686s | this time F Astro one of the best at |
2689s | manufacturing these environmental kills |
2692s | SLA stalker oh I don't know if he knew |
2694s | he was within the shot there SMF brought |
2697s | down that P not even broken by Dead Eye |
2700s | very very low as the Winson for the |
2701s | Falcons Zone they've lost Gio still a |
2703s | point flip back here as the space |
2704s | station take their time Hardy got slept |
2707s | there so they could push te and |
2708s | eventually he's brought down sticky |
2710s | bombs from stalker that's another one |
2711s | for the air this could be a problem for |
2713s | space station and Falcons are going to |
2714s | equalize yet again scaling up fights |
2718s | everywhere I mean that is a sparker |
2720s | going to push all the way in towards the |
2722s | other team's Mega health pack there as |
2724s | stalker still with this |
2725s | d uh probably end up building a nano |
2728s | here for Falcons during this fight so |
2730s | pretty large Advantage here for Falcons |
2732s | coming on in is I think the equalizer |
2736s | here would be Psycho Landing a pulse has |
2737s | had a pretty good map thus far Ding A |
2740s | heal is an option for stalker the Wiston |
2741s | as |
2742s | well a lot of potential here Hardy bin |
2745s | burst down too quickly it's so hard to |
2747s | play against the echo it's so hard to |
2749s | predict when you need to |
2751s | lead now the Chas down will be here |
2753s | balcon now within one fight of winning |
2755s | the rounds yeah looks like Landon |
2756s | actually kind of like went to go through |
2758s | the suu in there for hotti so he can |
2759s | stay in maybe for a second longer and |
2761s | hottie jumped out just missed and uh end |
2764s | up burning down that Winston as we get |
2766s | into OT desperation here for |
2769s | SSG till be Falcon Stein it |
2773s | up a lively back and forth score the |
2777s | dive |
2778s | mirror but to see something a little bit |
2780s | different there and it's pretty clear |
2781s | that space station quite solid with that |
2783s | composition I mean hardy ground out that |
2785s | Winston for two years in the OverWatch |
2787s | League it wasn't pretty to start with I |
2788s | think we can all agree but by the uh by |
2790s | the end of that second season it was |
2792s | very good so this is what we saw Falcons |
2794s | play a decent amount of yesterday except |
2796s | beer on the Anna instead of the bapti so |
2800s | we'll see if this is what they decide to |
2801s | stick on but space station I I think if |
2804s | you're obviously not going to match this |
2806s | we've never SE we haven't seen so far |
2807s | this weekend anybody match this kind of |
2809s | like MAA V MAA uh Sigma is kind of the |
2812s | consensus answer to that it's really |
2815s | struggled against this cop that |
2817s | on Antarctic peninsula in theory if you |
2820s | play it at a really high level though uh |
2822s | it can be very difficult to dislar the |
2826s | S hardi will up to take The High Ground |
2830s | start prop for on |
2832s | Genji |
2834s | terrifying bu on the map may be less uh |
2837s | you know commonly selected for him oh |
2839s | they're going in oh my goodness okay |
2841s | Smurf FES it goes off to the right hand |
2843s | side hits the masonry Soo definitely |
2846s | indicating he wanted to go going and |
2847s | fight there space station have to back |
2850s | up here they have to try and give part |
2851s | some space but he's been off none |
2853s | imortality hard was playing outside of a |
2856s | m yeah I mean you're also asking a lot |
2858s | for potty right uh know you say okay |
2860s | this is the answer in terms of |
2861s | composition right potty is not you know |
2864s | in theory know a player you would say is |
2868s | a sigma player right uh know slightly |
2871s | different I I actually like this switch |
2872s | so we were talking a little bit about |
2873s | this in the back earlier today know uh |
2876s | Echo essentially a little bit B |
2877s | underutilized in certain situations |
2879s | could be quite good here for SSG make it |
2881s | a little bit easier right you get some |
2883s | of these the squishier DPS in terms of |
2885s | the Genji or the uh Venture quite low |
2888s | and then being able to finish them off |
2890s | make them pay for going to that back |
2891s | line St went pretty deep therey oh |
2893s | that's a scary spot to be the air Matrix |
2895s | right up in front of him but there's no |
2896s | escape from that and now stalker knows |
2898s | he can get his hands a little dirty only |
2901s | a couple kills there for space station |
2902s | hard to bounce back after losing your |
2904s | Sigma first again yeah the pace of play |
2908s | here every fight being dictated though |
2910s | by Falcons uh Fielder going to stay on |
2914s | the bounties look like maybe just kind |
2915s | of getting a little bit of a forward |
2917s | movement in the spawn there on the Moira |
2919s | and then switching over so it'll be Chio |
2921s | with a sound barrier here trying to keep |
2924s | Falcons alive on through this but then |
2925s | you're going to have Venture and you're |
2927s | going to end up oh I was going to say a |
2928s | blade but there's the benefits of that |
2930s | Echo can't deflect that it's a |
2932s | continuous particle that beam to geni |
2934s | gets brought down immortality fi this |
2936s | time looks like it did job because Hardy |
2938s | is still standing the sound barrier from |
2939s | funny Astro though can't be discounted |
2942s | in its role in making sure the front |
2944s | line of space station can hold |
2946s | strong he was so weak there uh the |
2949s | immortality field the sound barrier able |
2952s | to kind to keep him alive against his |
2954s | comp man yeah I mean it is so deadly as |
2957s | uh see how stalker actually uh switch |
2960s | over to Tri here so Tracer always uh |
2963s | pretty good against the echo where uh at |
2966s | least it seems maybe they is given a |
2967s | little bit more trouble than usual |
2969s | Venture Car already interacted with Echo |
2971s | much of the time basically like ships in |
2974s | the night well Echo can interact with |
2976s | You In |
2978s | fairness okay here's the flux oh I think |
2981s | Smurf got caught in that one that's a |
2982s | big one good purchase but imortality |
2985s | field is there for just that reason |
2987s | Falcons able to heal up most of the |
2988s | Damage Done there cardak overdrive in |
2990s | play okay K fight imal field was there |
2993s | though for space station and they're |
2995s | happy to throw down Smurf is remov Spar |
2997s | is able to break them out of their H |
3000s | proper doing everything he can every |
3001s | cool down every Button getting mashed |
3003s | butso still able to pick off Fielder so |
3005s | no B that is smooth start from sparker |
3008s | yeah sparker is still pretty healthy |
3010s | here not going to have the Astro get |
3012s | back on the fight here in just a second |
3014s | get one player here on the point you |
3016s | have some time Astro's going to get back |
3017s | you're going to be able to contest but |
3019s | Astro very low s doesn't give him a |
3022s | chance almost a One Clip there now you |
3025s | definitely have to regroup |
3027s | me he ends up killing Astro in seconds |
3030s | there Astro R thinks he can get on touch |
3033s | know maybe is Parker going to come back |
3035s | out and you're able to keep things going |
3037s | where at space station they do give |
3039s | themselves a chance right they going to |
3040s | get back into this |
3042s | game see Landing there having to use the |
3044s | walls to heal psycho as opposed to |
3047s | trying to direct hit the echo which is a |
3050s | bitel here they come SMF at the front |
3054s | going to be a sound bu here for team |
3055s | Falcons Spar gets crunched immediately |
3058s | immortality f for stalkery thinks about |
3059s | it but it wasn't that important because |
3060s | all the space station were playing |
3061s | outside of it S Bar gives him a window |
3064s | it gives him some time Smurf eventually |
3065s | falls to the focusing beam but now that |
3067s | echo of psycho is up some serious |
3069s | pressure space station off the point |
3070s | they need to touch but Astro is too low |
3073s | and stalker lives up to his name No |
3075s | Escape and that'll be Falcons taking |
3078s | ilos |
3080s | away a really back and forth map number |
3083s | one I think if you're fan of uh SSG |
3087s | uh still a pretty good sign even though |
3090s | in a loss cuz now you can pick a map |
3093s | that you think in theory could |
3094s | definitely play your play style much |
3096s | better than ilo's can right ILO is |
3098s | probably one of the worst maps in the |
3100s | pool you could get in terms of control |
3102s | uh to be fair I think a team like space |
3104s | station are probably going to be better |
3105s | at handling it than most right uh I I'd |
3108s | say that they have that flexibility CU |
3109s | hardi can can do it all he just has a |
3111s | strong preference not to if he can help |
3114s | it pretty strong showing from space |
3116s | station I enjoyed the dive mirror on |
3118s | Lighthouse that was likely it's very |
3120s | very hard to play it at this level |
3122s | against the team that features uh well |
3124s | basically anybody on the side of falcons |
3126s | look at mean your damage dealers for |
3127s | space station are playing quite well |
3129s | here early on in the series uh you saw |
3132s | hottie played the sigma they they were |
3134s | able to win fights on it they made it a |
3136s | pretty competitive uh know last map uh |
3139s | and then in the first map right you |
3140s | looked really good playing that |
3141s | Reinhardt no the ratra compostition |
3144s | right so now you think there is a maybe |
3147s | it's a different map different |
3148s | combination go to yeah I know if uh see |
3151s | psycho get out if psycho's coming out |
3153s | right backbone's coming in it's going to |
3155s | be probably a uh well I mean with space |
3157s | station is going to be a map that's a |
3158s | little bit more Rush friendly but now |
3160s | that you see this substitution right uh |
3163s | psycho is kind of like their Tracer all |
3165s | the time player so he's going to come |
3166s | out backbone's going to come in you're |
3168s | going to see a different composition |
3169s | here for |
3170s | SSG curious indeed that one we also |
3174s | might see Fielder get substituted out |
3176s | here which means know they might be |
3178s | expecting or they might know Falcons |
3180s | that they're dealing with a a full-time |
3182s | Baptist map that's a reason why Majed |
3184s | would come in yeah and I know if uh |
3187s | Smurf kind of packing it up here as well |
3190s | is on the stage it's uh hanin coming in |
3193s | so oh okay that's kind of uh just hosel |
3196s | changes across the board here maybe it's |
3198s | circuit |
3199s | Royal think Sigma |
3202s | Baptist would you pick Circuit of your |
3204s | SSG it's not like a know you can play |
3208s | RAM on it but you know the you can play |
3210s | the sigma it's such like long range and |
3212s | poke it's not exactly like a know a a a |
3215s | May ra Matra rush I would |
3219s | say it's a fair question we did see |
3222s | Hardley on that Sigma I think GL did |
3224s | really he has such a difficult job I |
3226s | think when he's playing the Baptist in |
3228s | the in the sigma comp against uh the M |
3231s | that's is brutal you have to be ready at |
3232s | any moment and you also need to make |
3236s | sure that that any tfield doesn't get |
3237s | baited out of you for no reason cuz we |
3239s | saw it a couple of times stalker pulls |
3241s | up on him in his Hellcat and tries to |
3243s | blow him up lenon has to lamp |
3246s | himself and then that's not available |
3248s | for his tanks that later on in the fight |
3250s | it's also one of those odd scenarios |
3252s | where a team loses a map uh but they |
3255s | should actually gain confidence from the |
3257s | map loss like I think SSG you come in |
3260s | here it's obviously the unknown on the |
3261s | other side with Falcons in terms of how |
3264s | they're uh playing uh today and in terms |
3266s | of of the matchup uh but to play them |
3269s | really close there in map number one |
3271s | it's a pretty positive sign and |
3272s | especially when we talk about how the |
3274s | maps uh not ideal uh for SSG well I |
3277s | think we saw three different looks from |
3279s | from SSG right you know and that gave us |
3281s | a pretty good understanding of okay well |
3283s | they still with the sigma setup the |
3285s | Winston setup is good I I like watching |
3287s | dive for them they also had the right |
3288s | players into be out of flex to to dive I |
3290s | thought psycho had an incredible map in |
3293s | General on that Tracer you're up against |
3295s | proper though so yeah just incredible |
3298s | unfortunately is is not quite enough |
3300s | we're going to head over to the desk |
3301s | here can hear from them to uh break down |
3304s | s of map number |
3306s | one that was map number one SSG they did |
3310s | put up a fight team Falcons uh did |
3312s | managed to get to Dub here in the end |
3314s | let's talk about how they got it done |
3316s | you smiling why are we smiling over here |
3318s | I'm smiling because because you know |
3320s | junk Buck you fell you fell for the |
3321s | doomfist bait again it's it's Winston |
3324s | you you know this you already know this |
3325s | don't even to tell you kryponite it just |
3327s | you just got to play Wiston Smurf on the |
3329s | Wiston so different I feel like the pace |
3331s | change when that hero came out of the |
3332s | dive was really huge I mean honestly map |
3335s | one I was really impressed sparker |
3336s | looked great psycho was lighting it up |
3338s | on the Tracer I was a little worried I |
3339s | was like wait what what is this Doom |
3341s | farom is a little bit too much of a cook |
3343s | they come on on light weer all right |
3344s | what come on now if you're SSG that was |
3347s | honestly a bit of a freebie you're like |
3349s | oh they're rolling out fist like we want |
3350s | we win this round here and now you're up |
3353s | one round to nothing on control you feel |
3355s | like you want to close this one out |
3357s | right and they got pretty close liouse |
3358s | was pretty competitive as well you know |
3360s | that hard that from the point where he |
3362s | didn't get suu by L because there was |
3363s | some you know Mis timings there it's |
3365s | really unfortunate right but really good |
3367s | signs versus Z overall the series is not |
3369s | over by any margin yes Fons have looking |
3372s | really good at this brawl composition |
3374s | with the Genji with the Venture and I |
3376s | mean Falcons is one of the few teams |
3377s | that can actually play this P at this |
3379s | level because they have two really |
3381s | flexible damage players so it's really |
3382s | hard to prepare for like you have to |
3384s | practice against this pum that much this |
3386s | series or toward the series right so |
3388s | Falcons they're looking dominant on this |
3389s | composition if I'm SSG I feel like I |
3392s | want to shy away from this MAA |
3394s | composition being played CU you just get |
3396s | overrun on this Sigma and it's really |
3397s | hard to position correctly and get a |
3399s | good free fight positioning to work |
3401s | around this MAA the problem though is |
3403s | you know if you're Falcons you've stolen |
3405s | away space station Gaming's biggest |
3407s | strength the strength we talk about |
3409s | every time we talk about this team is |
3410s | their ability to play Rush they're so |
3412s | effective they can bring you to these |
3413s | close range Maps now you're scared to |
3415s | take it to a close range map I mean |
3416s | based on those subs I would guess |
3418s | circuit Royale is what what we will see |
3419s | like we're seeing age we're see back |
3421s | cominging |
3422s | in they got to see Fus of that match so |
3425s | you know learn something from that maybe |
3426s | you got maybe You' got something prepar |
3428s | maybe you feel good about that but this |
3429s | is a space station gaming forced off of |
3431s | their comfort zone coming to a sniper |
3434s | mirror it's not bad for them I mean I |
3436s | think sparker is great I do think the |
3437s | Cassidy better than the Widow for him I |
3439s | think for the overall team you know they |
3441s | really they are they want to be a lucier |
3442s | team maybe they can find a way to play |
3444s | fast on Circle Royale in the past we've |
3446s | seen some like very aggressive Sim comps |
3448s | actually really effective on circuit |
3450s | Royale because of how popular Sigma is |
3452s | sometimes you can catch him off guard |
3453s | but even a r there I say maybe like a |
3455s | ram Ry with a Sim and a May cutting off |
3458s | that Sigma from from any kind of support |
3460s | and and punishing him maybe you can |
3462s | attack some of the flexibility issues |
3463s | but with maette and shio in you can |
3465s | always go back to a rush miror for |
3466s | Falcons we have talked a lot about this |
3469s | specific map pick format though and how |
3471s | do you plan for this I do think that we |
3473s | could make the case that maybe space |
3475s | station they feel a bit comfortable on |
3477s | some of these hybrid Maps perhaps even |
3478s | like flash point and push to an extent |
3480s | but you want to get the escort pick out |
3482s | early to avoid potentially playing |
3485s | Falcons on Jala for example a team that |
3487s | they are really good on die for so maybe |
3489s | you feel like early in the series we |
3490s | lost control we just want to get the |
3492s | escort map out of the way but we feel |
3494s | pretty confident still on hybrid so I |
3495s | don't necessarily feel like just because |
3498s | hypothetically we're thinking maybe they |
3499s | pick circuit real that doesn't mean that |
3500s | that's ssg's best map that could just be |
3503s | the way they strategize about this |
3504s | mapping format I still feel that you're |
3506s | biggest strength has been taken away |
3508s | right like it's a huge difference if you |
3510s | could take us to shambali and be really |
3511s | confident hey we can win the rush M |
3513s | right now I think Falcons is the better |
3515s | rush team I think Falcons is the better |
3517s | poke team and I think Falcons is the |
3518s | better dive team Space Station's play a |
3519s | lot of ratra so far I'm like you can't |
3521s | play ratra in this matchup you you you |
3523s | pretty much have to play the sigma or |
3525s | like some kind of malamor in my opinion |
3527s | for me honestly I don't think space |
3530s | station has a road to Victory I don't I |
3531s | don't see a chance for them maybe the |
3532s | Sim is like their last you're just out I |
3535s | mean for me it's the SIM Sim is like the |
3537s | last Bas of hope maybe the Sim may can |
3540s | work but for me that style it's so |
3544s | passive and slow I mean you can play |
3545s | fast and aggressive but against Heroes |
3547s | like Genji KIRO malga Venture these |
3549s | Heroes can't really be controlled by |
3551s | Heroes like may they just you know Fly |
3553s | Away climb over the wall jump over the |
3555s | wall they all have movement skills they |
3556s | can all escape and so for me I think |
3558s | Falcons has has out strategize space |
3560s | station they've taken Space Station's |
3562s | biggest strength their main stay what |
3564s | made them an elite team what made them |
3566s | one of the best teams in the world and |
3568s | now they're dominating on the rush comp |
3570s | we thought that was Space Station's hope |
3571s | I mean I think going into this |
3572s | tournament for space station they were |
3573s | thinking all we can win with rush we can |
3575s | force our strengths with this loser map |
3577s | pick format we can come to Maps we can |
3579s | play Rush now you can't do that |
3581s | anymore put a lot of labels on me Jake |
3584s | but I'm not giving up Faith I'm not |
3586s | giving up hope there's a chance there's |
3588s | a chance chance to the A out there to |
3591s | the viewers hard enough there's a chance |
3593s | I'm not giving up let's look at the |
3595s | numbers though I mean |
3597s | yeah close statistically it's yeah it's |
3600s | not been it's not been as much of a |
3602s | Beatdown I think that a lot of people |
3603s | would have expected no I mean I think |
3605s | and it's not to take anything away from |
3606s | space station I think these These are |
3608s | incredibly great players I think we saw |
3609s | that in the first round we saw how many |
3611s | impressive kills sparker and psycho are |
3613s | making the DPS from space station are |
3615s | keeping up I think on an individual |
3617s | level I think that this team can |
3618s | absolutely keep up with Falcon players |
3620s | but for me it's the Strategic depth that |
3622s | Falcons has brought as a roster that is |
3625s | giving them such a huge advantage and |
3627s | the fact that space station has been |
3629s | bullied off of their their comfort zone |
3631s | their favorite comp what their old |
3633s | standby it remains to be seen if |
3635s | something from back we TR them as being |
3638s | a flexible team though like we do know |
3639s | they can play other stuff yes they |
3642s | initially were known as that one trick |
3643s | team but that's not what they are so |
3645s | let's take a look at where they take us |
3647s | map Pool wise and then see what they |
3649s | been cooking up they did have some time |
3650s | obviously to prepare to this uh for this |
3653s | particular match Johnny give us some |
3656s | more hope more op more opium I guess I |
3659s | haven't given you enough hope I want |
3661s | more here's some hope for you it is |
3663s | going to be circuit real which is the |
3664s | map piig and look Falcons they're |
3667s | stoping in Sero jet hate to break it to |
3670s | you Sero jet is not as good as Fielder |
3672s | so maybe Sero jet coming out playing the |
3674s | B I still think that SSG they're |
3677s | positioning themselves to make get the |
3679s | worst out of Falcons in this regard and |
3681s | trying to at least find some key to |
3683s | Victory here I do still have faith in SG |
3685s | here maybe you do block the Walter and |
3686s | so I don't I don't hate the pick I mean |
3688s | I think there's there's wisdom to it I I |
3690s | think if I'm Christopher in this |
3691s | position I probably make the same choice |
3693s | I just mean I feel that there's like a |
3695s | degree of strategic inevitability here I |
3697s | think the road back for SSG is the worst |
3700s | possible scenario where you're relying |
3702s | on like essentially Widow gapping |
3705s | proper uh good luck Sigma gapping hanin |
3709s | good luck like I mean I just you know |
3712s | you guys know I'm a realist I keep it |
3713s | 100% this is what makes Falcons such a |
3716s | terrifying team to go up against I |
3717s | really think the one the one weird piece |
3720s | is the guy you've got on your screen |
3722s | right now can some sort of cheeky |
3723s | symmetric comp blow this hold open it's |
3727s | possible it's possible but I it's |
3730s | catching people guard right but I also |
3732s | would say like obviously we know that |
3734s | team f they will be coming prepared like |
3736s | they know what they know the risk of |
3738s | this Rush when you see that St coming in |
3741s | like they know what most likely will be |
3743s | happening and transpiring on the server |
3746s | we made for a good entertaining series I |
3748s | dare say so yeah not all hope is lost |
3752s | also this is we're in a double |
3753s | elimination bracket exact there go it's |
3756s | not over here there's the the lower |
3759s | bracket that we be falling down to the |
3760s | lower bracket of course uh where their |
3763s | opponent will be waiting for them not |
3765s | entirely sure who they would be facing |
3767s | off |
3769s | against it would be one of the two it |
3773s | flip it would flip yeah you go to the |
3775s | other side of the bracket so s the Los |
3777s | will M8 it's not SSG yet and look if you |
3780s | really want to zoom out think mro here I |
3783s | do think that Falcons with this Venture |
3785s | composition with the Genji and MAA |
3787s | that's kind of like the composition to |
3789s | beat right so not only in this series or |
3791s | you think like how can we beat Falcons |
3793s | in this series but if on all these other |
3795s | teams even M80 to an extent like Toronto |
3797s | defiant what is our answer to this MAA |
3801s | Venture Genji braw composition because |
3802s | the the pace that Falcons play with with |
3805s | this composition it's match like it it's |
3807s | because of the Brawlin of that |
3809s | composition the pace they're playing at |
3810s | is just something you haven't really |
3812s | practiced against so the entire weekend |
3814s | really you don't really scrim that much |
3816s | in your off time it's hard to schedule |
3817s | these Sprints you can't always to play |
3819s | your you know scrim against opponents of |
3820s | course so you have very limited practice |
3822s | time to figure out answers adaptations |
3824s | you're sitting back at the hotel in the |
3826s | room and just like well guys uh what do |
3828s | we do here that is kind of like the |
3830s | frustrating thing here it it you have to |
3833s | like come up with small alterations all |
3835s | the time to try break down this |
3836s | composition because I think you agree |
3838s | with me Jake that Falcons right now when |
3839s | they play that world composition that is |
3841s | the composition to be how do we figure |
3843s | that out I think what psycho bringing |
3845s | out the echko there in the F round of |
3847s | ilos I actually love the echo response I |
3848s | think Ekko has a has a very very favored |
3850s | match up into both DPS Genji Adventure I |
3853s | think MAA although you can shoot up an |
3854s | echo it's really not what you want to do |
3856s | right you want to be getting on top of |
3857s | those supports cleaning up players close |
3859s | to the ground you can't really escape |
3860s | from you ekko's also pretty good at |
3862s | damaging malga copy malga super |
3863s | effective so I think the ekko's a great |
3865s | pick but you also became exposed out |
3867s | stalker back to Tracer and I mean he ate |
3869s | them alive on the Tracer a different |
3871s | player can't that's what I want to hit |
3872s | on here cuz the the important thing to |
3874s | remember here if you're looking at that |
3876s | roster yes this composition looks scary |
3878s | and people haven't figured it out yet |
3879s | but the real scary thing lies within the |
3881s | fact that they don't care if they have |
3883s | to switch off of that because they can |
3885s | play everything on the highest level |
3887s | regardless these individual players have |
3889s | such a deep hero pool they're not |
3891s | worried about having to switch it up |
3893s | it's only the first layer that's what's |
3894s | so scary what I'm excited for frankly is |
3897s | crazy reckin versus Falcons I think |
3899s | that'll be the first time we're really |
3901s | going to see layers of innovation we're |
3903s | the Jake please I know we're not there |
3905s | yet you think you think at some point in |
3908s | this tournament that won't happen at |
3909s | some point it is very likely upper lower |
3911s | bracket very if this doesn't I'm going |
3913s | to lose it if we don't get to see that |
3915s | match that come on maybe it won't be the |
3917s | next match maybe I love your |
3921s | Enthusiast H actually uh speaking uh |
3924s | speaking of that matchup uh and team |
3927s | raccoon of course both talked about you |
3929s | know the competition uh at large on our |
3932s | media day where we picked their brains |
3934s | and Falcons had some interesting things |
3936s | to say when they were together this is |
3937s | the camera hi no actually it's this one |
3939s | never mind had some interesting things |
3942s | to say when I had a chat with Danny two |

4074s | if that comes true uh team Falcons thank |
4076s | you so much for taking the time to do |

4090s | be beat but for these guys that's you |
4092s | got to Something in confidence that's |
4093s | real confidence that's confidence born |
4095s | of experience that's a different that's |
4097s | a different level there's nothing false |
4099s | about that I mean rightfully so uh the |
4101s | performance we've seen thus far looking |
4104s | like pretty stiff compe |
4106s | they have a Target on their back of |
4108s | course when you're performing like that |
4109s | let's see if SSG can get something done |
4111s | in map number two as they're currently |
4113s | down oh and one let's send it back over |
4116s | to Uber and Mr X to hear from them about |
4119s | all the action what do went night we |
4122s | looked like to make sure we were still |
4124s | here but we've been here the entire time |
4126s | unless she try to talk to us pick the |
4128s | mic out that doesn't do anything when |
4129s | they turn it off you know I know |
4131s | oh what do you want what do you want to |
4133s | what do you want to what do you want to |
4134s | know like what do you want to hear from |
4135s | this anything how's your day going |
4137s | pretty good new hobbies uh trying to |
4139s | stay alive at dream hack that's my |
4141s | current hobby yeah Jack Jack's nodding |
4144s | it's experience Mitch has been pretty |
4145s | angry there's somebody over at the VR |
4147s | station that's better dressed than him |
4148s | so yeah who is that person we need to |
4150s | Vibe the guy has great tast and shirts |
4152s | I'm not going to lie we're back of |
4154s | course everybody with map number two |
4155s | just around the corner and I I was right |
4157s | I'm not going to go too much but circuit |
4158s | Royal was the pick here it's it's a |
4160s | common one I think if you don't want to |
4161s | get jaled so not a huge shock that's why |
4163s | of course we see some switch UPS on the |
4165s | FAL side Maj comes in hen comes in |
4169s | Baptist Sigma seems like a very solid |
4171s | approach and it's something that I think |
4173s | you were hitting at that yeah SSG can do |
4176s | but maybe not a preference of their you |
4178s | don't want to get Gibralter that's |
4181s | that's a new one yeah uh yeah and look |
4183s | uh you can what they're hovering right |
4186s | now uh this will be uh Falcons on |
4188s | defense it looks like so we get that one |
4191s | uh on the top of your screen swapped up |
4193s | but this is what they ran the other day |
4194s | right they played they they played the |
4196s | life Weaver around that corner uh space |
4199s | station this is something uh they kind |
4201s | of obviously in their wheel specialty |
4204s | they might stay on the Sim gang yeah |
4206s | buddy we're keeping the Sim all |
4210s | right let's see how this goes down so |
4212s | you can also like you can know that |
4214s | they're going to do this but I imagine |
4216s | trying to find somebody like against two |
4218s | places at a high level and try and SC or |
4221s | practice again something like this is |
4222s | almost near impossible as a space really |
4226s | the only team who plays compositions |
4228s | like this is it's going to be |
4229s | immortality field there ping up but |
4232s | they're just getting some space yeah |
4234s | they need to keep Hardy standing that's |
4235s | the problem yes he got an immortal field |
4237s | map but he didn't get enough healing |
4239s | might to disconnect there but Landon |
4240s | uses EXO boots to get some high GL with |
4243s | two hang on you lost hard but he's still |
4245s | got a bit to go on with now giio a |
4247s | little bit low needs to back away |
4249s | aggression here from space station as |
4250s | they thunder in towards the underpass |
4254s | yeah I mean in theory right Falcons |
4255s | should end up being able to kind of |
4257s | create distance between themselves and |
4259s | space station and then with the damage |
4260s | from the Hanzo and the far able to win |
4262s | that long game as that's a huge one |
4264s | there taking out fun asro so who kills |
4267s | stalker here uh I think it's a kind of |
4271s | almost a little bit of like let's see if |
4273s | we can go and get enough players where |
4275s | it's like land in or somebody else can |
4277s | finish stalker off that's kind of |
4280s | the playing with fire there for a second |
4284s | TI the side using that pedal around that |
4287s | corner not have to hit that ground off |
4290s | SP station have to go fast they need to |
4292s | get their right in position with a CP |
4294s | quickly before stalker can take over the |
4297s | fight with that unanswerable damage from |
4299s | high they come again H going to drop off |
4301s | pressure coming down but there it is the |
4303s | response beautiful barrage and of course |
4305s | the life grip to get stalker out of |
4307s | trouble so often that the barrage leaves |
4309s | you so vulnerable as far almost |
4311s | guaranteed you get killed in response |
4313s | now though with black weever that's less |
4315s | of a certainty yeah traditionally rocket |
4318s | barrage is a precut to die ability kind |
4321s | of up there with death blast at time to |
4324s | try to kill kind of yeah yeah we're uh |
4326s | right there able to get two also with |
4328s | like the the knock right when you want |
4330s | to use these TPS obviously for the TP be |
4332s | all close together just add extra |
4334s | displacement towards size space |
4337s | station arm back up there plenty of time |
4340s | though the pop coming in he can see |
4341s | these health bars on the side of space |
4343s | station seen better days got toed up |
4346s | they have to what okay they have use the |
4348s | immortality field already they won't |
4349s | have it to respond to this flux and they |
4352s | to use just to like get around this |
4354s | corner back up yeah I mean the flux |
4358s | though wasn't ever really triggered by |
4359s | hit I think he was satisfied with the |
4361s | disengagement there here's a blizzard |
4364s | okay it's going to be used pretty |
4364s | defensively though now as the pressure |
4366s | St them out on Hardy but prop with the |
4367s | dragon strike to cut the back line off |
4369s | for the front Tri of black though good |
4371s | healing as those posters come out an |
4374s | immortality field is down for cuz they |
4375s | want to push up the M's going to make it |
4377s | hard though and Matrix Shad came out |
4379s | there CER and giio both got caught and |
4381s | there Hardy running over the top of them |
4384s | finally space station have a chance to |
4386s | reach but stalk is found two unlikely |
4389s | that's going to be enough though for |
4391s | Falcons yeah it's a really nice May wall |
4393s | there from the backbone they end up |
4395s | dropping in amp Matrix they get a kill |
4397s | off the back of that and then the May |
4398s | wall Falls right into the shadow there |
4401s | fromti kind a classic combo there from |
4403s | space station as they get that first ch |
4405s | checkpoint and uh now some just change |
4408s | here for Falcons it'll be Han been now |
4410s | playing the mara so we'll see how this |
4413s | Reinhardt can get go Toe to Toe with the |
4415s | mo Z doesn't cope well with you know |
4419s | someone getting up his face |
4420s | normally and the symmetra means that the |
4423s | Falcon can't really avoid that that has |
4424s | to be an early ice block for backbone |
4426s | he's in trouble the Poke damage has been |
4428s | pretty impactful from stalker make no |
4431s | mistake though space St have the ability |
4433s | to circumvent that to start a fight on |
4435s | their own turn if this s TP works out |
4437s | prps a little bit low he's back in the |
4440s | fight |
4441s | instantly L the car progress here though |
4444s | for space station you're going to have a |
4446s | sound barrier here for this next fight |
4448s | as well and Pat 2 so you're taking a lot |
4450s | of this poke damage for space station |
4452s | but you're getting lots of support value |
4454s | out of it Wall comes up now that poke |
4456s | damage essentially nullified for Falcons |
4458s | and look at that quickly space station |
4460s | look to take advantage they pushed up |
4462s | now work just around that little chios |
4464s | display that'll just be pokes and probs |
4467s | from sparker backbone trying to do much |
4469s | the same but he's a bit more exposed |
4470s | over on the car who need to be topped up |
4472s | here's an Matrix TP now for Space |
4474s | Station to get past it and Hardley it's |
4475s | running over them again much impr proper |
4478s | fall Hardley now has a chance to get top |
4480s | back up what a nu since this guy has |
4482s | been H been really struggling to have |
4484s | any impact and backbone threatening to |
4486s | move the C up space station had to use |
4489s | the M wall but it's worked brilliantly |
4491s | Falcons now have to try and contest here |
4492s | desperately just before the checkpoint |
4494s | three of Life comes out stop for half |
4496s | him but it's going to get frozen stiff |
4497s | here aalas kill gets dragged out of the |
4499s | fight though his life grip from giio |
4501s | connects onto the tank what a shout up |
4504s | classic Hardy folks space station get |
4507s | another tick yeah I mean those Sim |
4509s | turrets in the doorway a little bit of a |
4510s | car wash action there as everybody for |
4513s | Falon to search the funnel out of that |
4516s | so team kill there for space station but |
4519s | they were able to get so much payload |
4521s | progress out towards that second |
4522s | checkpoint and you mention like the chip |
4524s | damage coming down from but you're able |
4526s | to heal it up so fast there for space |
4528s | station that you gave funny Astro and |
4531s | land both support ultimates coming into |
4533s | that last fight and again you can see |
4536s | how impactful this poke damage is it |
4538s | really means space station has to be |
4539s | careful about how and when they engage |
4542s | especially because they now have to |
4543s | contend with this High Ground advantage |
4545s | that actually is afforded to Falcons |
4548s | they want to push up though create some |
4549s | artificial High ground with the pedal |
4552s | hary wants to drop down now pressure |
4553s | that Hardy Shield which really has to be |
4555s | put away awful quick once those Min guns |
4557s | start rattling but look they've |
4558s | circumvented har and entirely they've |
4560s | gone around the Mala they've taken up |
4561s | The High Ground and now the map has been |
4563s | flipped har plays low look at it dragg |
4565s | him in stalk good life gri out a little |
4567s | bit early there but the cage fight is |
4569s | still going to make it half of space |
4570s | station to get away from this engagement |
4572s | but they're happy with it they want to |
4573s | fight they want a brawl and they're more |
4576s | than ready to throw down as Harman drags |
4578s | them in yeah I mean the longer these |
4579s | fights go right the Sim starts to ramp |
4582s | up in it's eight fight it's actually an |
4584s | amp Matrix up on The High Ground from |
4585s | Landing as well PNY as with a nice beat |
4588s | look at this the TP gets right on top of |
4590s | ser they take him out that is a huge |
4592s | kill no heal I think you were a little |
4595s | bit worried about you know how this |
4596s | Reinhardt would play into the mar looked |
4598s | pretty good so far R Falls there can't |
4600s | get back on the safe side of the S wall |
4602s | the St had nowhere to go he basically |
4604s | got trapped by the May wall and that's a |
4606s | pretty impressive ties to work |
4609s | with space station get the map down and |
4611s | show why they're not afraid to play Ryan |
4613s | almost anywhere I mean look you get the |
4616s | S TPS you start getting AR R into |
4618s | positions that you normally do not |
4620s | expect uh nobody in the world uh I was |
4623s | going to say does it better but nobody |
4624s | in the world does it at all outside |
4626s | space station corre uh at the moment so |
4629s | uh we'll see now what they decided to do |
4631s | on defense I I think the more |
4633s | interesting thing is what in the world |
4635s | you do with your Falcons right uh know |
4637s | you're going to play like a sigma and |
4639s | try to move up and methodically take |
4641s | space are you going to try the MAA into |
4644s | this uh what exactly is kind of the game |
4647s | plan here |
4650s | right even uh last year the space |
4654s | station core we're playing right hard on |
4657s | watch point you brought him any map it |
4660s | didn't matter because the symmetra |
4661s | allowed them to circumvent so much of |
4663s | the verticality that they lacked allowed |
4666s | them to get Hardy time and time again in |
4668s | positions for this Reinhard actually to |
4671s | be effective no situations are narrow |
4673s | most of the time sparker off is a heck |
4676s | of a lot more than the ability to |
4677s | reposition the rest of this team on the |
4679s | Sim the damages it ramps up is |
4681s | terrifying and hard can't do much about |
4684s | it potentially a spawn hole here you |
4687s | think it's like think that's what we're |
4689s | setting up for potentially here as uh |
4692s | Falcons door will open up uh all right |
4694s | so the Venture Genji come here so we've |
4697s | been talking a lot about |
4699s | this |
4701s | thr over to the back but how this goes |
4706s | against that Ry I mean it's a very good |
4708s | R composition imortality instantly V is |
4711s | so well suited to this and that's why |
4713s | they've been preferable to Tracer look |
4715s | at that you just tucked out under the |
4716s | hammer |
4717s | swing again Tracy was often the goto in |
4720s | these B composition but she couldn't |
4722s | hang in the fight like V cat got to just |
4726s | drop drop down duck up have some CC as |
4728s | well plus good burst damage in a melee |
4730s | that tears you the shreds and eventually |
4733s | they fit so great into compeition like |
4735s | this with that MOA typically Yeah you |
4738s | mentioned this would be a spot that |
4739s | occupied by Tracer but just so much |
4742s | extra temp but added survivability as |
4745s | well with the Venture in play so this |
4748s | will actually be a now making an |
4750s | adjustment goes over the sigma here is |
4752s | they'll keep the May and then bring in a |
4754s | c May those is effective proper though |
4756s | just walks up on them he won't be denied |
4758s | ACC doesn't connect PO is able to avoid |
4760s | that stalker drill watches back to |
4763s | safety as a May wolf seeks to try and |
4765s | catch someone from Falcon Down they're |
4767s | have to group up together once |
4770s | more here you're also just building |
4772s | these portal ra going to be P going |
4775s | around the corner immortality field F |
4777s | and now an air that's a great stop |
4779s | immortality field has been taken down |
4780s | stalk didn't get sparker on the way out |
4782s | the Cassity is going to be the real part |
4785s | of this composition that Falcons want to |
4787s | try and dive upon over and over again |
4789s | proper now with no threat of that M |
4791s | grenade though C any head shot in play |
4793s | could be that much more aggressive they |
4795s | will here just the store the blizzard |
4796s | also to the same effect here perhaps |
4798s | backb expect to switch off at some point |
4801s | no one really affected by that may space |
4804s | station will give up the first |
4805s | checkpoint yeah you're an even fight |
4808s | there at one point there and it's just |
4810s | comes down to that space station not |
4812s | able to keep hotti alive right they lose |
4814s | hotti even with both damage dealers |
4816s | alive then one down for Falcons it's |
4819s | still impossible for them to get that |
4820s | MAA out of position blizzard used there |
4823s | by backo maybe thinking sparker comes |
4826s | back into the fight you get landed there |
4827s | as well and you're able to keep things |
4829s | going not the case that is a gravitic |
4831s | flux that is a swinging a miss here a |
4834s | blade these rarely Miss from prop that |
4837s | is a blade combo with a cage fight and |
4841s | that fight win there for |
4846s | Falcons fight synergizes so well with |
4848s | Gen does not have the trouble far to |
4850s | complete those kills Spar comes back on |
4852s | spa and takes Cho down this could be an |
4853s | issue when it comes to f can properly CA |
4856s | in his |
4857s | checkpoint space station back to five |
4859s | here no Lucio for the |
4862s | attackers space station just needs a |
4864s | Fight Win here in in a bad way right |
4866s | because they do end up completing the |
4868s | map of the DC at of time right know you |
4870s | get a fight here you start to burn some |
4872s | clock you give yourself a a real chance |
4874s | of you know having a better time then |
4877s | Falcons Falcons they back up here a |
4879s | little bit they're going to play for |
4879s | these double support all get now the |
4881s | stop look to get into the backline Press |
4883s | on the Cassidy once more surely had to |
4884s | be the play |
4885s | immortality field only keep sparker up |
4887s | for so long but it's traded back Harin |
4890s | Falls immortality field there for m not |
4892s | quite enough to keep him standing he's |
4894s | still a dominant showing from Falcons |
4896s | it's another checkpoint guaranteed and |
4897s | it seems like space station is uh |
4899s | potentially here trying to get out and |
4902s | test |
4903s | but back the ice block not able to get |
4908s | it though is funny actually they come |
4910s | back they going to have it go with this |
4911s | but they've lost backb already a |
4913s | connects with hard B but is unperturbed |
4915s | the stalker gets in the back line and |
4917s | deals with Landon that Venture |
4919s | absolutely filthy 4 minutes and third of |
4922s | play what I was going to talk about was |
4924s | that space station is just seems like |
4926s | they're choosing between two pretty bad |
4928s | options uh in the sense that uh when the |
4931s | Maga slam comes in they were running the |
4932s | Cassidy so the cassid is going to take |
4934s | big damage there with Landing so H do |
4937s | you use immortality field and all the |
4938s | bapti cool Downs there and then just |
4940s | sacrifice hottie do you just lose your |
4942s | damage dealer but then all potentially |
4943s | lose your backline uh it's a uh it's a |
4946s | no win scenario there for space station |
4949s | gaming with those types of decisions |
4951s | Dragon BL here for proper once more in a |
4953s | sound bar going to be used to start the |
4954s | fight proper absolutely in this one |
4957s | going to be funny as TR move first in |
4959s | space station Do not sit in the ultimate |
4961s | State Banks hard has no chance to find a |
4963s | good flux there |
4965s | anyway they are making it look easy with |
4968s | this composition now we've seen them |
4969s | running out with the Baptist we've seen |
4971s | it also run the the when Fielder is in |
4973s | but the combination of Marga Venture |
4977s | Genji seems to be extremely strong it's |
4979s | hard for H to get a good flux here as |
4981s | well because of how dispersed Falcons |
4983s | are over the points they start to make |
4985s | their way in with the card hard steps up |
4986s | look at that blown up instantly no |
4988s | chance for land get in play a blizzard |
4991s | that's a pretty good one but harman's |
4992s | playing from outside of it it is enough |
4993s | for back to get in and deal with stalker |
4995s | but Landon's fallen and more t k not an |
4998s | option once more funny Astro will be |
5001s | staggered simply out on the cart he a |
5003s | soj play but sparer only has a little |
5005s | bit of Mobility once that's been |
5006s | exhausted he's in trouble here's at Kan |
5008s | fight ktic gr here from Hardy Good Time |
5011s | by as Hardy goes lower and lower |
5013s | eventually going to be removed now a |
5014s | chance of that gravitic flux shouldn't |
5016s | be required it looks like space station |
5018s | have been out to |
5019s | hold just barely you see how difficult |
5022s | it is to take down that Mar like a whole |
5025s | spawn cycle of players space station |
5028s | makes some changes here so uh they'll |
5030s | have the echo seen the echo used early |
5033s | on in this series against this type of |
5036s | composition uh now also they have a BL |
5039s | here to use in this next fight so we'll |
5041s | see what |
5044s | what don't know about |
5050s | this Rush used to gain a bit of height |
5053s | here card overdrive in plain agrava flux |
5055s | will be the answer spark with over from |
5057s | that High Ground can't do much Mar and |
5059s | out of nowhere appears stalker spark is |
5061s | taken down but har want the casualty of |
5063s | that gravitic flux it's backbone getting |
5066s | traded at least able to pick off a |
5068s | player with that focusing beam and again |
5071s | Play Station set their feet with Harding |
5073s | standing Falcons cannot advance and now |
5075s | they RIS fully behind in time bank and |
5077s | they switch off the The Adventure here |
5080s | it might just be a little bit harder to |
5081s | kind of like access the back BL you saw |
5083s | there when the pop up happens not able |
5085s | to get towards that High Ground |
5087s | completely uh also the Tracer as we |
5089s | talked about really effective against |
5090s | the echo but the clock dwindling down |
5093s | here Bic with a chance for the time bank |
5095s | blade proper for a tie looked like he |
5097s | was having to sit on the low ground but |
5098s | then heads upstairs put pressure on bnny |
5100s | asro has the drop down and Hardy |
5102s | eventually Falls to that PL itself |
5103s | backbone Duke for a time but he can't |
5105s | hang and Spark is going to step up and |
5107s | have a cry 10 seconds separate these two |
5111s | teams still SSG has to uh I mean look |
5115s | their point A and B defense not great uh |
5118s | even kind of Point C all the way towards |
5120s | that end uh you know the map completion |
5122s | and the you know ultimately but still |
5125s | able to hold there for you know two |
5128s | really uh you know good fights right |
5129s | with burn a lot of this clock off gives |
5131s | them that time bank Advantage so I can't |
5133s | feel too terrible about the position |
5135s | that you're in if you're space station |
5137s | gaming it's just figuring out what you |
5138s | can do here uh on the defensive s early |
5141s | to prevent a little bit of a snowball |
5143s | yeah when we get down to this kind of |
5144s | time bank that first checkpoint hold |
5147s | becomes far more important than under |
5149s | nominal circumstances and against I mean |
5151s | well first we'll think about space |
5152s | station defense but they are going to |
5153s | have to play offense against far once |
5155s | more they really necessitated speed |
5159s | space station won't play the r on |
5160s | defense though will be the sigma |
5162s | something far more robust Dependable |
5164s | here for you know only would be a minute |
5166s | and 8 seconds if required yeah and I was |
5168s | talking about how you know you're |
5169s | playing that city of your space station |
5171s | M slam comes in and you're you know in a |
5173s | terrible spot deciding okay what do you |
5175s | do keep cacity uh sparker on the so can |
5178s | avoid that a little bit more yeah a |
5179s | little bit go high ground or something |
5181s | yeah yeah you can Dash away from you |
5182s | know you see the mar coming on in uh |
5185s | pretty difficult to miss uh so you can |
5187s | kind of dash out of the way get to a |
5189s | high ground position get away from that |
5190s | marus slam maybe it'll allow them to |
5193s | keep Hardy eyes a little bit longer as |
5194s | they'll play set spawn yet again the |
5198s | last time spawn Camp didn't go great |
5199s | they're trying to do with a S as well by |
5201s | the way it's just to buy a little bit of |
5203s | time space station expecting probably to |
5205s | lose this fight here but they're giving |
5207s | as good as they get thus far literally |
5210s | proper maret taken down here on the |
5212s | attacking side stalker wants to make his |
5214s | way in the hi and bnny asro yeah knocked |
5216s | back by that melee it is |
5217s | devastating beautiful stop for stalker |
5220s | and they'll be on the road here but they |
5222s | have lost about 20 25 |
5224s | seconds yeah this also allows space |
5226s | station to make some changes right uh |
5229s | kind of a it's going to be Tracer here |
5231s | for socer yep so uh as soon as the |
5234s | backbone switch too comes in you switch |
5237s | over to the Tracer gives you a little |
5240s | bit of a not a huge Advantage right |
5242s | Tracer always pretty strong against Echo |
5244s | as kind of comes out of the sky easy |
5247s | target eyes on the K SP is going to have |
5250s | to avoid it m St and the Gen and Tracer |
5254s | somehow a lot to |
5256s | ask the flank already being occupied by |
5259s | stalker who look to make their way in |
5260s | and there it is that's the power slide |
5262s | away from the malg now he can start just |
5264s | plugging away with these shots ra gun |
5265s | hits have been good for sparker po the |
5267s | first casualty he know stalker starting |
5269s | to flank behind but this means backbone |
5271s | has a bit more freedom to pressure |
5273s | Hardman exposes his back to the e go and |
5275s | that's an easy pick off for sparker once |
5276s | more nobody able to get the grips with |
5278s | this soj here in space station in a |
5280s | great spot to hold off P bom spk ignores |
5283s | it it's far up behind him it's not a |
5284s | threat oh the beat it gets delayed but |
5287s | Falcons can't exploit that Gio now |
5289s | eventually the Beats run out for team |
5290s | Falcons are going to have to go for it |
5292s | but it's a graic flux they're going to |
5293s | play into hard lets it go now who does |
5296s | he catch gets the Genji no chance that |
5298s | proper would have survived without that |
5300s | healing and the immortality field comes |
5301s | in after the fact that's already been |
5303s | used now it's been EXP fired L gets his |
5306s | emo and Matrix is in play but har seem |
5308s | to be a to play out of line of side of |
5309s | it yes on the low ground away from that |
5311s | damage a stop to reposition deflect with |
5314s | the sticky bomb that is disgusting |
5316s | unreal for proper and now he's going to |
5318s | CH to do even more Falcon should have |
5321s | been stopped there it looked like it was |
5322s | over but these guys won't be denied it |
5325s | feels like SSG play that is good as you |
5329s | possibly that should have been it there |
5332s | yeah I mean should have been it right |
5333s | you had that late sound barrier you kind |
5335s | of come in uh but Falcons they are just |
5339s | so sick at keeping the payload alive |
5342s | keeping it in OT keeping it going and |
5345s | now proper got a blade uh you're going |
5348s | to have that spark coming huge here with |
5349s | this |
5350s | overclock or at least get away from the |
5352s | blade here it comes the first Target he |
5355s | able to get immortality killed out but |
5356s | that gets cleaned up pretty darn quickly |
5358s | proba able to play behind some of that |
5360s | attacking Baptist utility they're going |
5362s | to back up for now Falcons got what they |
5364s | want to there they want this checkpoint |
5366s | more than anything so over aggressing at |
5368s | this point would be devastating sparking |
5370s | now is down the doo is expired backbone |
5372s | isn't the extra malot on the field and |
5374s | the Falcons are still going space |
5377s | station no choice but try and regroup |
5379s | for one more crack in this but fight is |
5381s | available for |
5382s | hanit you even going to get in they |
5384s | can't touch yeah I mean I don't think |
5385s | you're going to get another fight here |
5386s | you're going to have to give up that |
5389s | checkpoint not ideal you want to kind of |
5391s | like push up and fight like by that |
5392s | staircase you're going to back up here |
5393s | give up a little bit bit more spaces |
5395s | sparker now over on the Cassidy is have |
5398s | a funny Astro beat but look at just |
5401s | about everything here this look like |
5403s | potentially a point a hold which is now |
5406s | looking like Balon potentially runs down |
5408s | the map St think not to hold the pulse |
5410s | bomb for the cage fight maybe a little |
5411s | bit easier to stick it there let's It Go |
5414s | doesn't find anyone here's the stop |
5415s | backs away look at that Echo damage it's |
5417s | frightening cage fight used but har |
5418s | doesn't really want to be there he drops |
5420s | down to the low ground instead who steps |
5421s | up instead GI with the sound barrier kep |
5424s | har standing as well as the immortality |
5425s | field that's enough room for the Mal to |
5427s | pick off the echo but sparker playing |
5429s | from that off angle the left hand side |
5431s | the shots are down good she want the |
5433s | pressure but fer won't be denied |
5435s | fantastic cassid work Harman gets out of |
5437s | the FL but eventually gets brought down |
5439s | it's down and big enough for the two of |
5441s | them space station puts that attack to |
5446s | rest you know space station obviously |
5448s | finish with a better time bang but uh |
5450s | that is a brutal one right one where you |
5452s | look like you can get a point8 hold |
5454s | potentionally in a fantastic spot to tie |
5457s | the series up they got that fight win |
5460s | there and then they kind of run down you |
5462s | know they don't complete the M very |
5463s | thankfully space station but they get it |
5466s | past that second checkpoint which is |
5467s | quite brutal given the situation they |
5469s | were |
5471s | in the prospects for space station don't |
5474s | feel great we saw them struggle a little |
5477s | bit with that life with a far a |
5478s | composition from Falcons yes they may to |
5481s | get the map done sure it took a little |
5483s | bit of a while to get going right uh |
5486s | took a little bit of time for things to |
5487s | develop |
5489s | so and that's something that gets put to |
5491s | the test here in Extra Innings more than |
5493s | any other point it's about that first |
5495s | checkpoint unfortunately power could |
5498s | have made it even harder for you but |
5499s | just how far they've been able to get |
5500s | and they instead op to play Adventure |
5503s | over the far here man yeah quite you |
5506s | know they come out on their comp and |
5507s | then obviously something in the in the |
5508s | coms they decide to go back make this |
5511s | change maybe they feel like okay let's |
5513s | say you play this far a base composition |
5515s | you lose a fight you're going to switch |
5517s | off of it anyway where the clock is and |
5519s | how much you kind to draw right even if |
5521s | you lose a fighter to with this |
5523s | composition for Falcons once they get |
5524s | the ultimate uh once you get cage fight |
5527s | cage fight blade you're you're good to |
5528s | go right you feel like it's an automatic |
5530s | win by that time you'll be an OT so kind |
5533s | of playing the long game here |
5535s | Falcons space station here want to try |
5538s | and circumvent and all them braw |
5539s | straight out of the G here and it's AA |
5541s | here for space station so we wondering |
5543s | like what we actually see like a match |
5546s | you actually do he early on uh and it's |
5548s | actually the they were playing with the |
5549s | Reinhard but instead of the Reinhard |
5551s | they're playing this is anti Venture |
5552s | positioning as well they don't want to |
5553s | run in and take of course fight straight |
5555s | out the doors against that they know if |
5557s | they can out range Venture it's much |
5560s | easier to deal with them especially with |
5561s | the Cassidy Haring quite low that's the |
5563s | immortality field and space station say |
5565s | okay we're going to use one of our own |
5567s | here we can't lose any players can't |
5568s | afford that with 37 seconds left Sim |
5570s | starts to ramp up here you can see just |
5572s | how devastating it is toal as it is |
5574s | anyone else GI there get picked off |
5576s | backbone St put in the microwave but you |
5579s | burned about Ian you burned more than a |
5581s | minute of clock right so this is |
5583s | actually no obviously space station get |
5585s | part of rolling everybody CL but it's |
5587s | actually pretty good for everybody okay |
5590s | where I know proper build basically a |
5592s | blade in that first fight you get all of |
5595s | the time bank basically gone right uh |
5599s | but where the kind of golden box Victory |
5601s | is I mean you're giving yourself a four |
5602s | fight here see sters though hasn't been |
5604s | a to be much of a factor in these last |
5606s | couple fights this time though different |
5607s | story because space station have nowhere |
5609s | else to go a matrix is there Falcons try |
5611s | and push through up and Han takes far |
5613s | too much damage to be kept in the fight |
5615s | another great fight for space station |
5616s | this time you might have course to get a |
5618s | little more |
5620s | excited yeah I I think the biggest thing |
5622s | for space station here is you win that |
5624s | fight while holding on to that Fe you're |
5626s | desperately needing that Fe for that |
5628s | blade that is just inevitable right so |
5631s | uh what you see from Falcons his proper |
5633s | go pretty deep they're trying to make a |
5635s | play onto the way player get fun asra to |
5637s | have to drop that be Comm minute then |
5640s | even if you lose that fight you come |
5641s | back to Blade but being able to hold on |
5642s | that sound barrier for funny Astro it's |
5644s | enormous and Matrix here is strong for |
5648s | Falcons especially with they have The |
5649s | High Ground space station don't have the |
5651s | option just to get off the card here we |
5652s | are in overtime for the slimmest second |
5654s | if they were to leave the round would |
5656s | end that TP there just to get Space |
5659s | Station ready on the card it's not an |
5660s | aggressive one here's an a to someone |
5662s | instantly Landing get brought down the |
5664s | metalall comes a little bit too late now |
5665s | the cage fight is going to force space |
5666s | station to St and deliver and they can't |
5670s | proper too sharp for them four with the |
5673s | blade I might SE an extra one there as |
5675s | Falcons close it out and that's a map |
5677s | pick for space station that falls by the |
5681s | wayside in that end sequence is kind of |
5683s | what I was talking about a little bit |
5685s | previously is that craer goes in they |
5688s | the kill happens on Landon so fast at |
5691s | that time you have no Baptist what are |
5692s | you forced to do you're forced to use |
5694s | sound barrier to kind of keep everybody |
5695s | alive as soon as the sound barrier comes |
5697s | down cage fight keep everybody in place |
5700s | the beat kind of wears off a little bit |
5701s | and then a huge bed from proper to seal |
5703s | the deal might have been a modified 5K |
5705s | there for proper I think he got landed |
5707s | at the start of that fight with a little |
5708s | melee we see why case fight is so |
5711s | synergistic with what Genji tries to do |
5712s | and trace it to some degree which is why |
5715s | we were a little surprised to see |
5716s | stalker pulse sort of before that |
5717s | ultimate came down but a very minor |
5720s | thing dear how do you feel about the |
5721s | Venture being sort of picked up there I |
5723s | think like you know Falcons really |
5724s | wanted to brawl and they wanted to spawn |
5726s | Camp space station knew it they played |
5727s | around that pretty |
5729s | elegantly yes but I do feel like that |
5731s | Ventures extremely good it was it was a |
5734s | marinal thing yeah in in combination |
5736s | with the Genji I mean it is just a |
5738s | pretty sick combo with the m in the mix |
5740s | I mean the amount of damage that comes |
5742s | down you know between Venture and MAA |
5744s | stom this nerfed MAA by the way yeah |
5747s | yeah yeah and then and then topper with |
5748s | a dash I mean it is just lots of burst |
5750s | damage that uh there's almost no answer |
5752s | to so really sick Tom uh for for you |
5755s | know SSG fans supporters this game's |
5758s | actually been pretty closed you know all |
5759s | throughout so I think you feel pretty |
5760s | good about it uh now I expect them to |
5763s | fully pick one of the escort Maps I I |
5765s | think you know what whichever escort map |
5767s | they probably feel the best about in the |
5768s | pool is uh no the hybrid map uh is where |
5770s | they decide to go is there a silver |
5772s | balloon at any point here for SSG we got |
5775s | a substitution now is Marin harid look |
5778s | to be put back on the bench yeah and uh |
5780s | you know just taking a look it looks |
5781s | like everybody on uh you know SSG got up |
5784s | so not sure if we're going to see uh |
5785s | some subs for them but I know seeing Sur |
5787s | J get up seeing H probably leave it'll |
5790s | be a different map you know completely |
5792s | with a different kind of lineup here |
5794s | that's right let's listen to some |
5795s | winning coms here for Falcons let's see |
5796s | how they landed the plane there on |
5798s | circuit |
5803s | Royal top can't go can't go two |
5808s | one one one Lu |
5811s | One S no beat s |
5822s | I yeah winning moments here for team |
5825s | Falcons uh unlucky some might say |
5828s | Obviously SSG not luck or unluck well |
5831s | you know the good old Genji 5K to to |
5834s | close it all out with quite frankly |
5836s | though it was a incredible impressive uh |
5838s | what both of these teams have showed |
5840s | there uh you know SSG they set |
5842s | themselves up well there they have more |
5844s | time to spare as well but then it it all |
5847s | crumbled like what an incredible OT push |
5850s | we saw from team Falcons on the back of |
5853s | incredible individual performances I |
5855s | mean individually right when you're |
5857s | you're counterpicking Falcons to force |
5860s | stalker to play Tracer that's the |
5861s | position you're in you're forcing |
5863s | stalker to play his best hero and that's |
5865s | like the progression you've accomplished |
5866s | so far in the series in terms of |
5868s | breaking this metacom with the Genji and |
5870s | the Venture I mean for me Falcons have |
5872s | this in the bag I don't think there's a |
5873s | pick going to change this I think this |
5875s | is on Space Station viw group and |
5877s | deliver their best I thought the Sim was |
5879s | really their last hope and I to be |
5880s | honest they made a lot of great plays |
5882s | with the SIM especially against hanen |
5884s | Sigma I think they really executed well |
5886s | hottie had only huge shatters this map I |
5888s | mean nothing was with the incredibly |
5890s | consistent Ry performance in the good |
5892s | match up against Sigma very well played |
5894s | from them but as soon as the manga comes |
5896s | out okay we're Back to Basics we're back |
5899s | to consistent incredible performances I |
5901s | like the idea of matching the Mala in |
5903s | the open spices on first point sure you |
5905s | can win but it's overtime you've got to |
5907s | stay on the card forever yeah Landon |
5909s | dies before beat but I can over State |
5911s | how impossible that situation is for SSG |
5913s | you're forced to come across this close |
5915s | sight line Genji's right on top of you |
5917s | if you beat early for funny asro and |
5919s | keep everyone alive they're just going |
5920s | to disengage from you come back 2 |
5922s | seconds later and wipe you without one |
5923s | of the most important HS in the game so |
5925s | for me Falcons just putting on a |
5927s | tactical Masterpiece I I think they are |
5929s | the team to beat right now in the |
5930s | tournament I think even crazy raccoon |
5932s | has to be looking at Falcon as a serious |
5934s | serious threat yeah but you're seeing |
5936s | how the compositions evolved throughout |
5938s | even this map alone of course that space |
5941s | station gaming coming out playing the |
5942s | rard composition while Falcon is playing |
5944s | the far with the life Weaver and then |
5945s | Falcon saying we're just going to stick |
5947s | to the ma composition we feel really |
5948s | comfortable with this Venture |
5950s | competition against SSG even bringing |
5952s | the Reinhardt in spawns right so SSG |
5954s | here I feel like that was their Silver |
5956s | Bullet like Mitch mention with the |
5958s | symmetra and the rinard in many ways |
5960s | that was maybe their hidden strategy |
5962s | that they could pull out here on a map |
5963s | like is maybe you learn something from |
5965s | that but I do think that may throughout |
5968s | this tournament you need some kind of |
5970s | variant on MAA because on a lot of these |
5972s | points MAA is just so good and I don't |
5974s | feel like we can get away playing the |
5976s | sigma and playing the Reinhard now not |
5978s | at all times you don't have to do use |
5980s | one trick MAA there is some Sigma |
5982s | variations that could work out I could |
5983s | see them bring out the rinard in the |
5985s | future but maybe if you're space engine |
5987s | gaming maybe it's some variation of |
5989s | symmetra because symmetra has been a |
5991s | staple pillar of their Arsenal for like |
5993s | years now because of the proficiency |
5995s | spark here you know with the teleport um |
5997s | not sure about the may I don't think |
5998s | that's going to work out like against |
6000s | the level of dive that we're seeing from |
6001s | Falcons right but I feel like the Silver |
6004s | Bullet has been used from space station |
6005s | gaming and now we'll see if they can |
6006s | cook up something more as this series |
6008s | develops but also throughout the |
6010s | tournament because there is a lower |
6011s | bracket you want to learn as much as you |
6013s | can get as much Intel as you can and |
6015s | build on that Intel throughout this |
6016s | tournament we're going to see the |
6017s | competions develop we're going to see |
6019s | what teams do to adapt and that is going |
6021s | to be so crucial what do you do next |
6023s | year if you SSG yeah I mean that's a big |
6025s | question right here again a look at a |
6027s | map Pool of course SSG once more gets to |
6030s | pick not just the map but also the map |
6032s | type where do you want to take it are |
6034s | you going to any map where you know like |
6036s | your symmetric coms really going to look |
6038s | good or is that to be exploitable |
6041s | because it's not affecting fals don't |
6042s | know that that's coming their way I mean |
6044s | I I think for me what I want to see SSG |
6047s | try is cutting the hit scan I I feel |
6049s | like what Falcons have shown is that hit |
6051s | scan is not the meta right now it's not |
6053s | necessary it's not even strong it's |
6055s | actually a vulnerability right if you |
6057s | have anyone who can be caught Venture |
6059s | Genji malga they will catch them wow I |
6062s | like the choice of do junk City I think |
6064s | actually you just need a win it's not |
6066s | about tactical you know hybrids the more |
6069s | Superior map pick this is like |
6070s | desperation pick something that really |
6072s | favors your style I think though this |
6074s | shows to me that I expect SSG to keep |
6076s | going with what they practice based on |
6078s | this pick I think this probably signals |
6080s | maybe more Sim and may maybe maybe a Sim |
6082s | Bastion something of that variety |
6084s | something they haven't fully committed |
6085s | to yet maybe that can work maybe the Sim |
6088s | Bastion and sigma could work but in the |
6090s | end I think the DPS flexibility |
6092s | throughout the Falcons I mean if you |
6094s | play that proper and stalker are going |
6096s | to have a field day and I mean I think |
6098s | they've shown just incredible Poise and |
6101s | whatever they've come out on also want |
6102s | to highlight suret I think a lot of |
6103s | people have questioned surette in this |
6105s | roster criticized him when he comes in |
6107s | and said okay why is this guy really on |
6108s | the team but I mean he is putting on a |
6110s | monster performance on the batist yeah |
6112s | he's played aari in the pass play Zen we |
6114s | know he's an incredibly good Flex |
6115s | support player I think Mett has looked |
6117s | incredibly good every time he comes in |
6119s | even hearing him in the team comes there |
6121s | he's he's comfortable comment he's he's |
6122s | making his calls he's getting the team |
6124s | in position talking about what he wants |
6125s | to |
6126s | do what they said you're questioning a |
6128s | player who world champion in every other |
6131s | team he's been on he's looked like one |
6133s | of the very best players it's only |
6134s | because I mean it's like you're you're |
6136s | in a team that sometimes benches hin |
6138s | other times benches Smurf that's the |
6140s | situation Falcons are in even the bench |
6142s | players are world champion tier they |
6143s | they got a luxury bench like there's no |
6145s | doubt about that I'm definitely |
6148s | interested to see if they're facing off |
6149s | against let's say uh crazy raccoon will |
6152s | suret also see play time there because |
6154s | some might argue like you know if you're |
6156s | very confident in uh what you can do |
6158s | against your opponent you might give |
6159s | other players more reps uh so far we've |
6162s | seen a lot of surma jet actually |
6163s | obviously uh he is a world champion like |
6166s | you know it's it's not a bad problem to |
6168s | have but luxury bench for sure uh yeah |
6171s | so now we know which map we're heading |
6173s | to um that means that we are getting |
6175s | ready for our next match and for all the |
6177s | action we once again hand it over to our |
6179s | friends our |
6182s | casters |
6184s | words all |
6187s | thingses can do better than that my |
6189s | goodness our wonderful |
6191s | wordsmiths Jake is so good yeah he did |
6193s | really good there job nice job thumbs up |
6195s | to you okay I Johnny said anything for |
6198s | the last like three minutes did he I I |
6200s | mean if he did I didn't hear I just |
6201s | copyed what Mitch said like the Silver |
6203s | Bullet thing I took that from yeah that |
6204s | was good good yeah I like that see there |
6206s | you go let's have a look at our |
6207s | substitutions heading into our next map |
6209s | here because of course for SSG they are |
6212s | running out of room to make it happen |
6214s | unsurprisingly we saw marched leave the |
6216s | stage earlier on he loves to Hype the |
6217s | crowd up when he comes in when he leaves |
6219s | Felder will take his place and I suspect |
6222s | that Smurf is also going to be coming in |
6224s | here for Falcons yeah I Jak mentioned |
6226s | it's kind of uh yeah you play on a team |
6228s | that swaps Smurf out of the lineup which |
6231s | is a pretty rare see it with hot and |
6234s | so to see suretta and he's had great |
6236s | success for the a lot of different teams |
6237s | that he's been on right so I kind of |
6239s | figure out a way to utilize him on this |
6241s | roster which they have seem hard I mean |
6244s | the Baptist is very solid we don't |
6246s | Fielder can play it but Ma yeah |
6248s | definitely new junk city is an |
6250s | interesting uh choice you know we we've |
6252s | talked about how so many uh teams right |
6255s | would obviously go towards surasa in the |
6258s | past or yeah maybe there is a Next Level |
6260s | to the symmetra Reinhardt different |
6263s | positions that you have cooked up uh the |
6265s | bastion's a pretty decent jot I think |
6267s | there was Jake on the Des making that |
6269s | point I think the the Bastion |
6270s | potentially interesting look but that |
6273s | also feels like that's something that |
6274s | will inevitably be solved by Falcons the |
6277s | CRA play in general it's pretty odd to |
6279s | Sol uh when there's these these TPS that |
6281s | come from very random areas it's kind of |
6284s | hard to predict when these fights are |
6285s | supposed to begin or prevent individuals |
6287s | from getting picked off your tank from |
6289s | getting run up on your backline getting |
6291s | flattened the simp no one no one outside |
6294s | of this team and maybe actually the |
6296s | shock last year also did experiment a |
6298s | lot with that the Sim play with like the |
6299s | rine comps uh and found some success |
6302s | there their match up against Hardy's |
6304s | team at the time obviously that London |
6305s | core was was uh very compelling as both |
6307s | teams were trying to use cetra to out |
6309s | maneuver each other I don't think |
6310s | Falcons op into the Mir here on new junk |
6313s | City last CH Saloon for your space |
6316s | station gaming Roster im's number one |
6318s | seed at risk of falling to the lower |
6322s | brackets still like we talked about |
6324s | throughout the series he's been pretty |
6325s | competitive against Falcons uh Falcons |
6328s | number two obviously from apack where uh |
6332s | soow it's definitely proven that hey you |
6333s | know a team that is not uh you know at |
6336s | the level of Falcons which you kind of |
6338s | look through the roster teams here not |
6340s | many are you're going to make noise if |
6342s | you're space station |
6343s | gaming I I think though this is |
6345s | important they talked a little bit about |
6347s | this on the desk it feels like you need |
6349s | a MAA look right uh know you can't |
6353s | probably get by with playing Ry Winston |
6355s | ratra Sigma you need to have some kind |
6358s | of variation here with MAA so it'll be |
6361s | space gaming using uh this kind of |
6363s | competions they would run the Reinhardt |
6364s | with for just having the ma in |
6367s | play stalker again on the |
6369s | V that's right that variation just |
6372s | switching to MAA for Ryan still having |
6373s | that Sim TP availability and KIRO is |
6376s | here for landed yeah I'd love to know uh |
6379s | yesterday when we saw Falcon and we were |
6381s | talking about it in the back earlier |
6382s | today like |
6384s | they look so good running this |
6385s | competition with the Anna in mix and |
6387s | today they dropped the Anna a lot right |
6388s | they've gone with B A lot of these |
6391s | different yeah bit of a adjustment for I |
6394s | think maybe just really Bing having some |
6397s | form of |
6398s | immortality Tio maybe not where they |
6400s | want to |
6402s | be just some Ticky from both sides here |
6404s | falc threatening to cap the point with |
6406s | proper being sent down there and he is |
6408s | able to get it so space station needs to |
6410s | use prop absence now to their advantage |
6412s | and to ifield getting picks up very |
6413s | early for Falcon so a little bit |
6415s | concerning sparker Dives on in though |
6417s | good pressure on Smurf hardly able to |
6418s | trade it out though of course his backb |
6420s | was removed just prior by stalker who |
6423s | really isn't favored in the match up |
6424s | against |
6425s | vure proper there is not a fight that he |
6428s | is he doesn't like is he will get really |
6432s | deef and aggressive know really more |
6435s | aggressive than a lot of the other G |
6437s | still that we've seen in the past right |
6439s | he will you know Das on in right click |
6442s | uh loves the One V one DS with that |
6444s | Genji so a fast Fight Win For Falcons uh |
6447s | they also build up I mean they're going |
6448s | to they have one more fight here at this |
6451s | point right space station double support |
6452s | off but only one extra fight here this |
6456s | first they've got blade to work with |
6458s | here and prop is probably feeling better |
6459s | only having to deal with KIRO and the |
6460s | suu instead of the immortality field |
6463s | demands attention to be removed here |
6465s | stalker goes ahead of the matri right |
6467s | now all of space station playing |
6469s | together on the low ground they've not |
6470s | gotten value from the katuna rush at all |
6472s | yet near St P popped up looking good but |
6474s | that was a fantastic stop from Hardy he |
6476s | just doesn't have the health and prop |
6478s | here is going to make it a nightmare for |
6480s | space station they're all far too low to |
6482s | be involved any further in this fight SP |
6484s | know as will feed himself to the |
6487s | Beast that'll be the first flash point |
6490s | here over the Falcons they end up having |
6491s | to use a decent amount of ultimates |
6493s | there towards the end so slight |
6495s | Advantage potentially for space station |
6497s | gaming coming into our second flash |
6500s | point but uh having nobody die right be |
6503s | able to run over there rather quickly |
6504s | the nice spawn Advantage here Falcons |
6506s | will be able to set |
6508s | up overclock for sparker and Symetra |
6512s | here pretty important but Falcons |
6513s | usually just going to want to push past |
6514s | it anyway just like this in fact hard |
6517s | trying to counter stop here ster |
6518s | affected by a cage fight thrown down |
6521s | Hardy really wants this engagement space |
6523s | station definitely get favorable footing |
6525s | in this fight be to turn this into a |
6527s | flash point |
6528s | take yes hard's been doing a nice job in |
6531s | terms of yeah obviously wants to set |
6534s | Pace Smurf goes in with the slam and |
6536s | hotti ends up using a slam kind of back |
6538s | into Smurf into his backline uh it's a |
6542s | long distance immortality field thrown |
6543s | in there for Falcons pretty consistently |
6545s | right after Smurf right you throw that |
6547s | immortality field in keeps a mo alive |
6549s | Mona cardiac overdrive you know regen |
6552s | first you start to cycle those abilities |
6553s | yet |
6554s | again he jumps back into the retti |
6557s | attempt a matrix up for Fielder that |
6560s | will have his in a moment |
6561s | too here gotm look for a stomp here has |
6564s | to go through the a m just he get past |
6566s | it already though now space station |
6567s | can't use it whatsoever S Bar being |
6569s | drawn out Chio doesn't have his yes K |
6572s | fight for Falcons though you can't get |
6574s | bit in time that's two last fights in a |
6577s | row that's a flash point virtually give |
6578s | it up it's a really nice symbol there |
6581s | from backbone so uh Smurfs cage fight |
6585s | does negate land and Matrix on the other |
6588s | side right but that cage fight comes |
6590s | down and then that Sim Wall comes in |
6592s | from backb and kind of know splits |
6594s | everybody off as for Falcons there's no |
6596s | way you're going to I mean Landing the |
6598s | beat there would like you have proper on |
6599s | one side of the wall yeah get broken up |
6601s | so you're not going to end up using that |
6602s | ability there is they're going to give |
6604s | it up and now you're going to see them |
6605s | bring the Anna into the mix so this is |
6607s | the kind composition that at least we |
6609s | were watching the other day and talking |
6611s | a little bit in the back that we thought |
6612s | had a lot of know explosive value in it |
6615s | so see if they can make it work here the |
6617s | cop's really interested in healing this |
6619s | malus setup again cardiac overdrive you |
6621s | know nullified to some degree by fire |
6623s | grenades the Fielder consistently was |
6626s | getting like three player fire grenades |
6627s | the other day about lining one up there |
6631s | would have been a little too speculative |
6632s | for someone is careful as Fielder like |
6635s | have blade right if you know they're |
6636s | coming through this choke stop blade |
6638s | that's going to be two players with a |
6640s | bio grenade that's going to be the |
6641s | immortality field out straight away but |
6642s | no feeling can go into sparker so you're |
6644s | going to lose him instantly you saw that |
6646s | CP come up uh preemptively so space |
6649s | station just had a good feel that |
6651s | Falcons were going to try and dive on |
6652s | the right de that just start quick |
6654s | enough to get |
6655s | out fast fight with there for Falcons he |
6659s | start to work through these chokes right |
6661s | uh without a SIM TP that's going to |
6662s | actually see Landon switch over to the |
6664s | so you need that c right you had both |
6666s | players get hit with that bio right away |
6668s | with sparker and poti you had to use |
6670s | that immortality field straight away as |
6673s | soon as it's gone both those players are |
6675s | dead right so you're better off with the |
6677s | cleans you for landing off the back pce |
6680s | good start here for Falcons can they |
6681s | capitalize on it stalker clears TP away |
6684s | look how safely he can do damage with |
6686s | that ultimate Tage by deployed here for |
6688s | Hardy but he blocked himself in with the |
6691s | Beast Smurf getting a nano from Fielder |
6694s | virtually unkillable extra durability a |
6696s | charging is good straight to the |
6697s | backline here and even a power slide W |
6699s | get sparker out of Harm's reach that's |
6702s | another one for Falcons here in space |
6703s | station have one last chance to have any |
6706s | sort of fight on this flash point like |
6708s | that's a really fast Nano Bu from |
6710s | Fielder as well right |
6713s | yeah one fight yeah one fight in the |
6714s | building a nano 80% en counting here |
6717s | space station play has another shot at |
6719s | this with the TV they get up into |
6721s | position but get to walk through these |
6723s | chokes right you're going to get what |
6724s | another bio grenade probably get zuu |
6728s | out what that's massive what a pick |
6732s | space station exposed themselves here to |
6733s | getting split up as they have to go to |
6734s | the point but sparker finds a fantastic |
6736s | rail on proper sound bar now down for |
6739s | fny Astro but it has done its job proper |
6742s | didn't go for the blade they didn't need |
6743s | to but Chio does come in a s barrier |
6745s | here for whatever reason B think they |
6747s | can win that fight that's audacious to |
6750s | say the least |
6754s | yeah I do not like |
6757s | that fight that's a pretty poor decision |
6760s | there for Falcon so maybe it's an |
6762s | opportunity for Space Station to get |
6764s | themselves back into the game uh a I |
6767s | think you're going to be able if you're |
6768s | in Falcons right you can either build up |
6770s | towards this Nano Nano blade on the |
6772s | other side right you know there's no |
6773s | beat uh you can opt to go in without the |
6777s | Nano but you build up the Nano so fast |
6779s | right you know have have Smur go around |
6781s | the corner take some damage and you're |
6782s | already there okay look at that t here |
6785s | SP station trying to out the Falcons |
6787s | they do catch them una aware but they AR |
6789s | have to close the gap he comes out |
6791s | overclock here for a spark and now the |
6792s | blade for proper it has to be a good one |
6794s | not too shabby so far great Dash sparker |
6797s | going to be dropped low that three for |
6798s | proper now and Hardy will be Min me just |
6801s | landed Left Alive and nothing space |
6803s | station can do falcons very quickly |
6805s | reestablish themselves in this map and |
6808s | just took the blade from proper is it |
6810s | ever a bad one from proper uh it feels |
6813s | like we've rarely seen the uh never |
6817s | really kind of Misses with that blade is |
6818s | I now Fielder actually goes over so uh |
6822s | look the rush obviously extremely |
6824s | effective you know when uh we were |
6826s | talking to the back Jake was actually |
6827s | making a really good point with the |
6828s | Venture ultimate with the kitune rush |
6831s | you can actually shoot so fast |
6834s | inv |
6836s | really with that as well as one off the |
6841s | rip this is going to be the Sim W split |
6843s | players up they really focused Hardy |
6845s | there Smurf goes deep for that kill |
6847s | Landing fors the stalker though who was |
6849s | able to pop all the start of that fight |
6850s | buer in a bit of a compromising position |
6854s | has to put it lightly will get taken |
6857s | down in slows this down a little bit CH |
6861s | go won't be picked up will be able to |
6863s | get Falcons back in position and also |
6865s | Fielder can be very aggressive here with |
6868s | proper into the back line right with |
6869s | proper know now socer actually going |
6872s | over to the far right |
6873s | here far versus the soj here and uh also |
6878s | I mean there's not really a great |
6879s | response from it on the other side |
6881s | there's no roof here like there was on |
6882s | bomb jump bit more open top so make a |
6885s | play through that hard though C fight |
6887s | going to make it half St this fight to |
6889s | very low for Falcons and prop is able to |
6890s | find two already get Rush doesn't even |
6893s | really help space station they Ed both |
6895s | their support ons they were convinced |
6897s | they had the answer in this fight Hardy |
6899s | able to find something though cardiac |
6901s | overdrive easy forcing stalker away prop |
6904s | going to hold on to the blade for the |
6905s | time being do you go for a rush here no |
6908s | not with fielded so low he's got to ball |
6910s | 100% hard is still healthy enough now |
6912s | but prop able to find L now there's no |
6914s | support left for the M Falcons already |
6916s | flipped the point back Midway through |
6917s | that fight and that's an odd application |
6920s | a far ultimate by maybe |
6924s | I mean look V gets cardiac overdrive who |
6926s | cares about support or not uh get |
6930s | getting that position so and also I mean |
6932s | what what you know you're not going to |
6933s | get a incredible value out of Rock Bar |
6937s | get that kill split the point you |
6938s | prevent them from coming back with a |
6940s | support or you know a CRI TP through the |
6942s | wallu now you g more percentage right |
6945s | proper BL he's going to use it straight |
6947s | away sparker trying to set up trying to |
6949s | find the chance to get that overclock |
6951s | but proper knows exactly where he needs |
6952s | to be and he collapses upon the sojourn |
6955s | the entire support structure of space |
6957s | station crumbles they're on their last |
6959s | legs in this series I mean look if |
6961s | you're going to go up against a team |
6962s | that's going to run Genji and they're |
6964s | going to get at least three players of |
6965s | the blade every single time you're |
6967s | you're in for a rough go as be space |
6969s | station probably with another chance to |
6971s | get towards the point be the rush prop |
6973s | is able to find sparker straight away to |
6975s | can rush now propels Falcons forward and |
6979s | space station can only try and back cap |
6981s | backb DS there but be a to complete it |
6983s | it'll be staved off and who else can |
6985s | stand up in his absence has to be a |
6987s | recall backbone doing everything he can |
6989s | to try and keep this round going but it |
6990s | might be too much to ask Landon gets |
6992s | there Swift step to get to the point |
6994s | malga Mutual knockdown as Hardy now will |
6996s | fall cardiac overdrive barely prolongs |
6998s | hit life span PNY asra now falling and |
7000s | no chance for space station Falcons |
7003s | advanced in the upper |
7006s | brackets it's a really good showing here |
7009s | for |
7011s | Falcons I think uh you know some of the |
7013s | compositions they run are going to be |
7015s | real difficult to beat for a lot of |
7017s | teams space station made it interesting |
7019s | at times I think we saw some really nice |
7020s | looks uh from them throughout the series |
7023s | I think it's a team that could be around |
7024s | a little bit longer in this tournament |
7026s | right I know not exactly go down losers |
7028s | be one and done I think they got a shot |
7030s | down there but uh Falcons just proved to |
7032s | be the superior team |
7034s | today who now can |
7036s | stand against these eight pack |
7039s | Representatives the number one seed from |
7041s | EMA |
7043s | has been failed for now they fall to the |
7045s | lower bracket and have a chance to fight |
7047s | their way through we're not even dealing |
7049s | with the top team from aack quite yet |
7052s | our attention now Must Fall to Toronto |
7054s | Defiance can they hold the torch for the |
7057s | West will this be apack returning to an |
7061s | Era of dominance yeah I mean the the |
7063s | next match will be awesome right seeing |
7065s | Toronto go recr I think that is going to |
7067s | be an extremely close game I also |
7069s | wouldn't you know uh discredit space |
7071s | station gaming obviously don't win the |
7073s | series they get three but there were |
7074s | there were moments at time though where |
7077s | it weren't like I mean look we've seen |
7079s | three's that are like okay this is like |
7081s | this is ugly like you know almost like |
7083s | get it off right get it over this is a |
7085s | three 0 that was pretty competitive all |
7087s | throughout right I think the real one is |
7088s | they had an opportunity to potentially |
7089s | win circuit uh and and they they end up |
7092s | blowing that one which I think puts them |
7093s | in a really difficult spot regardless uh |
7096s | you know for the rest of the series so |
7097s | uh probably ultimately kind of the |
7099s | series decided there in map number two |
7101s | circuit Royal new junk City both look |
7103s | really competitive but those were both |
7105s | maps that space station selected Falcons |
7107s | were more than happy to be taken over to |
7109s | those maps and ended up showing |
7111s | dominance on them as well ultimately a |
7112s | clean sweep here for Falcons let's head |
7115s | down to the stage with proper and Danny |
7118s | thanks so much guys everyone give it up |
7119s | for your Porche P performance of the |
7121s | match player we got proper from team |
7125s | Falcons amazing amazing stuff another |
7127s | great victory for team Falcons I mean I |
7130s | have to ask you know seem like you can |
7132s | you didn't have much problem going |
7134s | against the space station gaming how did |
7135s | the team Falcons prepare for this match |
7162s | en better than |
7164s | SSG n is better than SSG uh yeah I mean |
7168s | Papa just said he said uh not much |
7169s | preparation needed because uh it was a |
7172s | lot easier than their match against team |
7174s | NS uh so like you guys heard he said uh |
7177s | proper did say uh NS is better than |
7179s | space station gaming yeah |
7182s | yeah uh one one final question you know |
7185s | I did we're seeing a lot of different |
7187s | comps from team Falcons you guys are |
7188s | literally you guys can literally play |
7190s | all the comps uh in OverWatch right now |
7193s | but proper in your eyes what what do you |
7195s | think is team Falcon's strongest |
7197s | compostion if you have to pick one |
7225s | probably have to say a composition that |
7227s | utilizes Genji because Genji is one of |
7228s | my strongest Heroes and also when I play |
7231s | Genji uh I'm able to sort of Take the |
7233s | Lead when it comes to alt cycling or |
7235s | sort of leading the team in a b in a |
7237s | battle as well so I would have to say a |
7239s | competition that utilizes Genji |
7240s | everybody give it up one more time for |
7242s | proper thank you so much for the |
7243s | interview now let's head back to the |
7245s | desk for the winning moment thank you so |
7248s | much Danny and of course proper getting |
7251s | the Porsche performance of the twice now |
7254s | one a day I guess he's used to it he's |
7256s | used to it yeah it's just another day in |
7258s | the office for this man uh let's talk |
7259s | about how he got it done cuz H quite |
7262s | frankly proper has just been so freaking |
7266s | scary so much fun on that Genji too |
7269s | though I mean even in the past every |
7271s | time he busted it out even if it may |
7273s | have been suboptimal in the current meta |
7275s | at the time he made it look optimal and |
7278s | now he's just he's just wilding out |
7279s | there he's having a feel through I mean |
7282s | proper Genji is a is a serious Beast to |
7284s | behold I think he's one of the very best |
7286s | in the world on the hero you pair that |
7288s | with a player like Smurf on tank support |
7291s | side Fielder and Chio I mean the |
7293s | consistency is really unmatched on Genji |
7295s | a hero that historically has always |
7297s | struggled with consistency always |
7299s | struggle with continuing to deliver |
7300s | fight after fight being too reliant on |
7302s | the Dragon Blade those criticisms are |
7304s | just falling on De ears when it comes to |
7307s | profit yeah but looking at thisg this |
7309s | performance though I feel like they were |
7312s | building towards something I feel like |
7313s | they learned a lot from this series yes |
7315s | they go down in a three fashion but |
7317s | Falcons is looking like the of course a |
7319s | top two team right now with Tracer |
7321s | raccoon we saw this MAA come out from |
7324s | SSG here on circuit real but also on new |
7327s | junk City and we saw that backbone still |
7330s | was playing the symmetra this is pretty |
7332s | much what I called for in the game break |
7333s | I think they need to build on the |
7334s | symmetra this is pure brawl and you know |
7336s | historically space station they have |
7338s | been really strong on these brwl |
7339s | competitions they can't match falcon |
7342s | with the double Flex it's so hard to |
7344s | come out and play Venture and Genji like |
7346s | this and it's truly one of the unique |
7348s | things that Falcons can push up so it is |
7351s | really hard I don't feel like space |
7352s | station has a true answer but I feel |
7354s | like you can build on this symmetra |
7355s | composition I feel like it's something |
7357s | you played so much in the past and you |
7359s | need to get comfortable with what to be |
7361s | done in the past because you can't just |
7363s | go up on stage and just play stuff you |
7364s | haven't practiced right we know that |
7366s | space station they know how to brawl |
7368s | they're really good when it comes to the |
7369s | symmetra teleporters and utilizing |
7371s | getting the most out of that hero I'm |
7372s | not saying it's the most optimal but |
7374s | it's what space station does best and in |
7376s | the lower bra now they need to do what |
7378s | they do best and I think they can build |
7379s | on that composition on new Jun City even |
7381s | though they go down I mean uh looking at |
7384s | the winners here though team Falcons uh |
7386s | Jake obviously the composition is |
7387s | something we've talked a lot about these |
7389s | past two days now but looking at the the |
7393s | way they're approaching those team |
7395s | fights and how they're closing at points |
7396s | on flash point for example that really |
7398s | is a sight to behold yeah I think |
7400s | Falcons have have really mastered the |
7401s | Flash point one of our newest game modes |
7403s | in OverWatch you look at the way they |
7405s | close out points always at the end of |
7407s | the round they are nowhere near the |
7409s | point as they control it they they and |
7411s | they know you're going to send somebody |
7412s | to touch the point it's overtime if you |
7413s | don't you're done so it's a forone |
7415s | conclusion you'll be sending one player |
7416s | to touch the point the other four |
7418s | players on your team are about to feel |
7420s | the fury of Falcons diving into your |
7422s | spawn picking you off and you're forced |
7424s | to fight down a player I mean it's a |
7425s | hopeless scenario for you by the time |
7427s | the clock takes up that far Falcons just |
7430s | has you has you dead to rights really |
7431s | and I don't honestly I don't think |
7432s | there's really a response you just can't |
7434s | let them get that close to capping the |
7435s | flash point for me I think Falcons looks |
7438s | like the best team right now I think |
7440s | proper skill on the Genji I mean this is |
7442s | your quote hit scan player right this is |
7443s | your quote hit scan player he's super |
7445s | Flex he's a hyper Flex exactly exactly |
7447s | but but he's been in the hit scan role |
7448s | and so to have a comp that is not using |
7451s | hit scan making I think hit scan is not |
7453s | really strong right now I think with |
7454s | what the Falcons have shown I think this |
7456s | is the meta I think crazy raccoon |
7458s | Toronto defiant maybe these are the |
7460s | teams with players like lip and Merritt |
7461s | that can make hit hit scan work I'm not |
7463s | convinced though I I'm a big believer in |
7466s | what Falcons are pulling out and I think |
7467s | it's going to make hit scan very hard to |
7468s | use this tournament and this is the |
7470s | value of having players like this who |
7472s | aren't limited to one small subset of |
7473s | Heroes this is going to be the challenge |
7475s | for teams like space station you can |
7477s | play s in hit scan I think you're just |
7479s | destined to lose on those Heroes I don't |
7481s | think they have what it takes I think |
7482s | Sim is a huge liability without ultimate |
7484s | I don't think TP really works I don't |
7486s | think you really get charged in malamir |
7487s | what should they do Jake I'm trying to |
7490s | come up with Solutions the teams have |
7492s | how take a look at the bracket because |
7495s | uh of course now that uh Falcons won |
7499s | this they're finding themselves in the |
7500s | upper bracket final and that means |
7502s | they're now waiting for the next |
7504s | opponent it could be crazy raccoon it |
7505s | could be Toronto Define which of the two |
7507s | teams has better chances going up |
7509s | against them because they likely will |
7512s | not be utilizing aetra what what they |
7516s | roll I'll give you a breather here I |
7517s | think that crazy raccoons are probably |
7519s | going to be thr to defiant and we'll see |
7521s | that match up so you don't have to say |
7523s | it Jak we'll see the two Korean teams |
7525s | against each other so what do you want |
7526s | to see from them though from who from |
7529s | any any of them like do do you think |
7532s | obviously crazy Rons they're not going |
7533s | to try for a symmetricom to take down |
7535s | what theyve seen from team Falcons so |
7538s | what are crazy raccoons doing in order |
7540s | to take down I think that's a really |
7541s | good question because as good as lip is |
7543s | and I think he's the best hisam player |
7545s | in the world this is a this is a thing |
7547s | repeatedly with Falcons now they are |
7549s | pretty much the only team in the |
7551s | tournament that can play this Venture |
7552s | Genji brawl composition to its absolute |
7555s | potential so if I'm crazy raccoon I'm |
7557s | like well we we still kind of like |
7559s | playing dive we still kind of like |
7561s | putting lip in a position to play his |
7563s | best hit scan Heroes so they have to |
7565s | find perhaps an alter alternate |
7567s | composition to deal with what Falcons is |
7569s | playing right now and I think that is |
7571s | why some of us are saying that Falcon is |
7572s | probably the best team in the tournament |
7574s | right now because we haven't seen a team |
7576s | find the solution to what they're |
7577s | currently playing C raccoon would be the |
7579s | team though that could put up a really |
7580s | solid fight against them but first they |
7582s | have to take down Toronto Define that is |
7585s | going to happen right after the break or |
7587s | maybe it's not happening actually we're |
7589s | about to find out first things first |
7591s | quick break for all of us and then we're |
7593s | back with all the actions so don't go |
7594s | anywhere |

8084s | faith I mean we're a dream hack right |
8086s | like you can't really hang with the |
8087s | cosplayers here unless you're you know |
8088s | bringing a certain level of experience |
8090s | effort you're talented enough other ways |
8092s | like you got thanks you're really tall |
8094s | you're really tall that's I appreciate |
8096s | our friendship yeah uh going way back |
8100s | way back many dream hacks ago many many |
8102s | dream hacks ago but now we're here and |
8104s | we're ready for more action because we |
8106s | have a second as semi-final uh coming up |
8109s | in just a little bit so let's talk about |
8111s | the two teams we get to see of course |
8114s | the uh tournament Fair they say crazy |
8117s | raccoon they will be facing off against |
8118s | Toronto Define Toronto Define is that |
8120s | one team that a lot of people uh think |
8123s | is there one team who can actually take |
8125s | it to those super Korean squads well now |
8129s | it's time to show what they got let's uh |
8131s | take a look at the bracket to see where |
8132s | we currently standing uh as I said we |
8135s | are in the upper bracket still and this |
8138s | is our second semifinal |
8141s | match yeah Toronto going up against |
8143s | crazy racun of course Falcon now waiting |
8145s | in the wings after the win against SSG |
8148s | and you know Toronto is is one of those |
8150s | teams that we expect to beat crazy |
8152s | raccoon here but we're not expected to |
8153s | beat but at least could take it to them |
8155s | right but the thing with crazy raccoon |
8156s | is like they established themselves as |
8158s | the super team in the world we thought |
8160s | it be Falcons going into 2024 obviously |
8162s | stack with Fielder but this roster has |
8165s | performed above expectations which says |
8168s | something considering the lineup they |
8169s | had themselves lip of course the best |
8171s | hit scam player in the world Chong an |
8173s | OverWatch League champion incredibly |
8174s | flexible on that main support Ro can |
8176s | play any support uh you want from him |
8178s | and Shu arguably the most legendary |
8181s | flexible player in the world his |
8182s | playmaking ability you remember the |
8184s | moments of course on aana with the |
8185s | batist but also the biotic grenades when |
8187s | it comes to Thea play this roster is |
8189s | stacked beyond belief Jake for me if any |
8192s | team in the world can make the hit scan |
8194s | work can defeat Falcons without |
8196s | mirroring them it probably is crazy |
8198s | raccoon lip I think is the one to get it |
8201s | done I think there's an option for |
8202s | sojourn if you want to match the |
8203s | mobility of Heroes like Genji but with a |
8206s | little bit more of a comfort zone hero |
8207s | for lip I mean when I watch Li play soj |
8210s | he makes me believe whether it's the |
8211s | Cassie the soj he finds a way and so to |
8214s | be honest no matter what Falcons have |
8216s | shown I think crazy raccoon is going to |
8218s | make their own statement on The Meta the |
8220s | players that have been the most fun to |
8221s | watch for me this year are though the |
8223s | tanks on the squad Max and junin were so |
8226s | hyped up joining the shock as you know |
8227s | the next propers the next rookies to be |
8229s | on that level but they didn't really |
8231s | have the season they were hoping for in |
8232s | the past with the shock this year I |
8234s | think we're really getting to see why |
8236s | everyone was so excited for these |
8238s | players to come of age and play in the |
8239s | international professional scene I feel |
8241s | and Max have had their breakout years |
8243s | and looked like incredible incredible |
8245s | tanks going toe-to-toe and coming out on |
8247s | top frankly over Smurf and hanin I like |
8249s | Falcons this tournament I think the meta |
8251s | has swung back in their favor but you |
8253s | can't take anything away from crazy |
8255s | raccoons this is a terrifying R and one |
8257s | final thing about this roster as well I |
8259s | do feel like lip he's a legendary player |
8261s | of course multiple rollstar nominations |
8264s | on this role he is an OverWatch League |
8266s | champion Grand finalist MVP at some |
8269s | point we have to start inviting lip into |
8271s | the goat conversation with Violet with |
8274s | profit because Lipa certainly earned it |
8277s | I mean the OverWatch League achievements |
8279s | aside so far lip has been on the best |
8281s | team and we consider him the best hit |
8283s | scan player in the world if crazy |
8284s | raccoon they go in here in owcs major |
8286s | Dallas and they win this International |
8288s | Tournament in another year of playing |
8291s | when do we start talking about lip as |
8293s | potentially the best player in the world |
8295s | of all time I mean I feel like we do |
8297s | though I think we actually do I maybe |
8301s | ation is always Violet and profit though |
8303s | it's never been lip is is the goat of |
8305s | all time I feel like lip for me is in |
8307s | that conversation I mean I think to be |
8308s | number one on hit scan is is a crazy |
8310s | crazy thing considering the level of |
8312s | talent in the role I mean it's a |
8313s | freakishly competitive role it's it's |
8315s | kind of like the most flashy role |
8317s | certainly can't be arguing with it |
8318s | anymore because just prior to this match |
8321s | setup we talked about how hitan might be |
8322s | a liability right now if we're looking |
8324s | at what you know team Falcons are doing |
8327s | if lip can make it work then yeah no he |
8330s | he can make it work against any anyone |
8331s | that's what I'm saying so let's see |
8333s | about that is ahead of us you know |
8335s | that's only if crazy raccoon actually |
8337s | manag to progress in the upper bracket |
8340s | first they have to take down Toronto |
8341s | Define and that is a squad which is |
8344s | stacked with such flexible individuals I |
8348s | mean they can play it all look at this |
8350s | roster if you're having someone you're |
8352s | set up for any meta that can potentially |
8354s | come your way yeah and look they've |
8355s | earned the respect because they are |
8357s | three of these players are OverWatch |
8358s | League champions Meritt of course who is |
8360s | also you know top two top three hit scan |
8363s | player in the world alongside someone as |
8364s | you mentioned the the hardest tank |
8366s | Prospect because of his flexibility |
8368s | being able to play so many tank heres |
8370s | right rup Paul one of the best FX |
8372s | supports player in the world also an |
8373s | overwat League champion so the fact that |
8375s | they are the current holder if you will |
8378s | of International Champions of the world |
8380s | right because they have three of the |
8381s | five members from before mayam I think |
8383s | they they have the respect here in |
8385s | Dallas and now going up against C |
8387s | raccoon obviously you can talk about the |
8388s | competition being stronger in Korea with |
8390s | Falcons and CCE raccoon but th defiant |
8393s | they're no slouches they have the |
8394s | championship experience now though they |
8396s | have a tough battle going up against |
8398s | their opponent I I want to call out Vega |
8400s | as well I think this guy's the hottest |
8402s | support Prospect in North America I |
8404s | think he's really on just another level |
8406s | compared to the most of the main sports |
8408s | in na I don't think there's anyone from |
8409s | the region that's at the same level and |
8411s | so I think Vega is a really exciting |
8413s | player on this squad also just turned 18 |
8416s | I believe yesterday here at dream hack |
8418s | so you know showed Vega some love happy |
8420s | birthday to him and maybe he'll get a |
8421s | little bit of a late birthday present if |
8423s | they're able to beat crazy raccoon today |
8425s | still though I want to emphasize this is |
8426s | an incredibly tough test and I still |
8429s | think there will be more questions even |
8430s | after this match regarding the meta |
8432s | regarding what comes to the best because |
8434s | to be honest Meritt and lip are both |
8436s | died in the wool hitscan players there's |
8437s | a reason I mean they're monstrous |
8439s | performers on the role but I think we |
8441s | will probably see a mostly hit scan |
8443s | mirrors here today and so I think there |
8445s | will still be more questions to be |
8446s | answered as far as strategically The |
8447s | Meta I think Toronto needs to go Toe to |
8450s | Toe |
8451s | on the M comp with crazy raccoon I don't |
8453s | I think the sigma maybe there's a few |
8455s | Maps where you can play slow you can out |
8457s | value maybe that style can work in in |
8460s | the really well executed scenario we saw |
8462s | ends find a few places and few Maps |
8464s | where it almost was enough but for me |
8466s | the flexibility with the DPS counter |
8468s | picks the flex support counter picks on |
8470s | the magga make that the meta I think you |
8471s | have too many responsive picks too much |
8473s | flexibility within a relatively stable |
8475s | composition for me I think you have to |
8478s | win the mirror if you're Toronto toine |
8480s | that's the thing with Toronto to Define |
8481s | though uh they've not been they've not |
8483s | been shying away from taking mirrors |
8485s | leading up to dream hack Dallas but they |
8488s | also haven't been scared of trying out |
8490s | new things and like pushing their own |
8492s | boundaries and you know like playing a |
8493s | little bit out of their comfort zone |
8495s | here and there and just testing it out |
8497s | I'm very interested to see what they |
8498s | prepared for crazy raccoons I am ready |
8500s | for this game let's see which team will |
8503s | be coming out on top of it I mean crazy |
8506s | raccoon obviously the favorite here |
8509s | however I've seen a lot of Toronto |
8511s | Define fans in this audience thus far |
8514s | like just yesterday they were allow |
8517s | there were a lot of Toronto shirts and |
8519s | rightfully so I mean I feel like the |
8521s | energy is not high enough in this |
8522s | building are are there any 200 defant |
8525s | fans in the building right here come on |
8527s | I got the hats I'm ready to go Jake's |
8530s | probably going to pick Chris raccoon or |
8532s | something can I get a |
8535s | Yeehaw as they say in Toronto I got some |
8538s | I got some I'm here to support Toronto |
8540s | defiant I I really do think that they |
8541s | could potentially take it to C runer |
8544s | they have the |
8545s | flexibility I think they the one team in |
8547s | the world that can do it though you got |
8548s | believe Jak they're the last team I I |
8550s | really have hoped for to be able to |
8552s | actually be in the grand finals to |
8554s | potentially Edge out one of these teams |
8556s | from Korea to be honest I think Toronto |
8558s | the f is sort of the last team standing |
8560s | that I that I genuinely think |
8561s | strategically has a real good shot at it |
8563s | I also want to talk about a player we |
8564s | haven't mentioned really at all from |
8565s | toron of the F which is sugarfree |
8567s | sugarfree was always I think very |
8569s | clearly for me the the runner up for |
8571s | rookie of the year when proper had his |
8573s | incredible breakout year and won rookie |
8574s | of the year I think for me it was like |
8576s | well I I kind of feel like sugarfree was |
8578s | was for me was like an obvious number |
8580s | two maybe even for me was number one |
8582s | with not being on the best team and |
8583s | still having monster performances I mean |
8585s | even leading up but when uh he was still |
8588s | playing his way through uh contenders |
8591s | and whatnot people were waiting for him |
8593s | to come of age like he's been around |
8594s | time for so long and people were just |
8596s | itching to see how he will be stacking |
8598s | up to the greats of OverWatch and you |
8601s | know the initial performance was falling |
8603s | fat maybe because of the team he ended |
8605s | up with but I think so far in owcs he's |
8609s | been pulling his weight and some |
8611s | sugarfree has been lights out yeah maybe |
8613s | there's some potential for some EO being |
8614s | played in this series as well here you |
8616s | know we could see that I feel like one |
8617s | dual we haven't necessarily talked about |
8619s | though we've hit on both of them |
8621s | individually but lip against Merit is |
8623s | going to be a hit scan duel for the ages |
8626s | and I doot of feelings here a lot of |
8628s | feelings |
8629s | from match monsters I want I want to say |
8632s | that I mean I think match Merit playoffs |
8634s | Merit this guy is icy in the clutch he |
8637s | does not budge it doesn't the pressure |
8639s | doesn't get to him I've seen this guy |
8641s | play I've seen him practice he has |
8643s | locked in from minute one and so I think |
8646s | he might be that type of young player |
8648s | who can face off against someone like |
8650s | like lip without without the heart rate |
8651s | going up you know yeah I mean we've seen |
8653s | Meritt take over games and that very |
8654s | much happened in the stage two finals |
8656s | for example like Meritt just like oh are |
8658s | we going to see the real Merit please |
8659s | stand up and he's just like oh well |
8661s | Mer's here he just come the lobby Mer's |
8663s | all over the kill feed and you need that |
8664s | right if you're playing against czy Ron |
8665s | you need that and to be honest with the |
8667s | maaga heroes I if you're going to play |
8669s | hit scan for me I like the sojourn I |
8671s | mean we saw lip do terrifying things on |
8673s | the Cassidy hon does get a lot of value |
8675s | but for me Merit sojourn I mean he |
8678s | really for me that's his hero right like |
8680s | that's where we've seen absurd |
8682s | highlights things that just nobody else |
8684s | can do Meritt delivers time and time |
8686s | again I also think thinking about the |
8687s | DPS right it might be a little bit of a |
8689s | different look but think about sugarfree |
8691s | the Genji the eeko I think Venture is a |
8694s | hero that should fit totally inside of |
8695s | his wheelhouse there's a way here for |
8697s | Toronto defant to have their own twist |
8699s | on this meta maybe they arrive from a |
8700s | different direction but they can |
8702s | replicate a lot of what Falcons can do |
8704s | maybe with a different approach to the |
8705s | comp |
8707s | I I have to derail a little bit because |
8709s | you just adjusted your little hat where |
8711s | is the connection between a cowboy hat |
8713s | and a Toronto |
8716s | defi Amer baby there needs to be a |
8719s | connection I we can make we can make |
8722s | cowboy hat with I don't think these were |
8724s | meant to uh be worn so it's a little bit |
8727s | uncomfortable but I'll rep it to |
8729s | represent Toronto Defiance so to the |
8731s | length you go to for a bit I'm here to |
8734s | support I'm here to provide hope and |
8736s | support I love that maybe they don't |
8738s | need it I feel like that's a confident |
8740s | team you know maybe they they don't need |
8741s | the Johnnies of the |
8743s | world or maybe they do I don't know |
8745s | let's find out actually what they have |
8746s | to say because uh on day one or the day |
8749s | before the event rather actually had to |
8751s | sit down with nekra so let's hear it |
8753s | from Toronto |
8756s | Define hey everyone my name is nekra and |
8758s | I am here with the Toronto defant how |
8761s | excited are you guys to be here in |
8763s | Dallas for the first owcs major I think |
8765s | we're all really excited CU we've been |
8767s | competing online for the past few months |
8769s | uh being the best team in North America |
8772s | and so coming here I think uh we're here |
8774s | to have fun and most importantly to show |
8775s | that we're the best team not just in |
8777s | America but in the world how do you |
8778s | think you would stack up against the |
8780s | Korean teams that are competing at the |
8782s | major I think the Korean teams are |
8785s | probably better than the European teams |
8787s | but they're definitely not as good as us |
8789s | I think I think we're the only team that |
8791s | has the potential to play every single |
8792s | comp and so when a team loads up against |
8795s | us they're really not sure what we're |
8797s | going to play and so we have a lot of |
8799s | different things that we can pull out of |
8800s | our out of our deck someone I was |
8802s | wondering if I could ask you what your |
8804s | favorite tank to play right now is uh my |
8806s | favorite thing is like I've never |
8808s | changed before is wion because it's very |
8811s | fun to play and I can make to play to |
8814s | unknowing them is dive something that |
8816s | you think that you could lean into as a |
8818s | strength for your team for this event |
8820s | yeah I think we're definitely one of the |
8821s | best dive teams in the world okay so who |
8823s | do you think is the strongest player on |
8826s | your team for mechanical |
8828s | skill who do you think is the funniest |
8831s | person on your |
8835s | team what why are you pointing at |
8837s | yourself because I'm the funniest this |
8838s | is crazy that's how you what are your |
8841s | strengths as shot callers me and someone |
8843s | work like pretty well together he's like |
8845s | the main caller of the team but I'd say |
8847s | I bring a lot of like energy to the to |
8850s | the calls and like Tempo in main event |
8853s | two you did lose in the winners finals |
8855s | to M80 so how did you get yourselves |
8858s | back in the game so that you could close |

8865s | our team was sick they they those guys |

8876s | they're not talking so they're both our |
8877s | leaders and uh they just happen to get |
8879s | sick wasn't talking as we we weren't |
8881s | even trying that hard to be honest |
8882s | either all right let's let's comment |

8997s | them and their opponents Asia number one |
9001s | seed give it up for crazy |
9004s | [Music] |
9006s | raccoons the team that Towers over the |
9009s | competition the final Survivor from the |
9011s | toughest region of OverWatch on the |
9013s | planet they are here for nothing less |
9016s | than a world championship in Dallas this |
9019s | is crazy raccoon every single player |
9021s | Best in Class nothing less than total |
9024s | Victory will satisfy them today and |
9026s | standing against the Hometown Favorites |
9028s | they fear |
9031s | nothing that's a clash of regions we all |
9033s | wanted to see and now it is happening in |
9036s | our second semifinals of the day for all |
9039s | the action we're going to hand it over |
9040s | to Mitch and Mr |
9042s | X thank you very much desk yes welcome |
9045s | back to the floor here at dream hack |
9046s | Dallas for what has to be the match of |
9049s | the entire tournament so far we've heard |
9052s | Whispers we've seen it they're trying to |
9054s | find dominant in their home region with |
9056s | as they put it a Mickey Mouse stumble to |
9059s | M80 during that stage two they are here |
9061s | to dominate and boy have they invested |
9064s | in order to make this happen the catac |
9066s | have looked nothing short of terrifying |
9069s | so far yeah they have looked awesome |
9070s | right they have lived up to the |
9072s | expectation I would say so has the |
9074s | Toronto defiant and Toronto's roster was |
9077s | put together to obviously you know win |
9080s | in North America but to win competitions |
9082s | like this to beat teams like crazy |
9084s | raccoons I think uh big test here in |
9086s | front of them today yeah and again it'd |
9088s | be fun to renew some of those uh you |
9089s | know rivalries now of course of previous |
9092s | teammates but look this toron defined |
9094s | team I think feat what you looking at |
9096s | you tried to put this on my head |
9096s | beforehand you know how fat my head is |
9099s | can that literally didn't fit I can't |
9101s | wear hats it's crazy someone find me how |
9104s | I can actually wear yeah it's a shame |
9105s | cuz you just start wearing them but no |
9108s | uh for Toronto but I think you you you |
9110s | look at this series right I think Merit |
9112s | versus lip is a sick matchup in terms of |
9115s | like hit scan battle and then also like |
9117s | uh Vega right kind of like the newest no |
9120s | sugar free we've seen in the league in |
9121s | the past right Vega not as much uh know |
9124s | in this type of scenario where this is a |
9126s | huge match uh you know for Vega right a |
9129s | lot on the line in terms of uh know |
9132s | expectations I would say and that of |
9135s | course that stat represents the stage |
9136s | one run for crazy raccoon they obviously |
9139s | also W stage two it was somewhat |
9142s | competitive I think against Falcons but |
9144s | they were definitely the team to be at |
9146s | that tournament they were well Above the |
9148s | Rest a lot of ARA play during that time |
9150s | which is obviously not so much a factor |
9153s | here it's Morgan time that's |
9156s | the yes essentially it is on our first |
9158s | map it will be no different the |
9161s | predetermined map for this stage of the |
9163s | competition is going to be ilos folks |
9167s | that's right kind of map that might |
9169s | necessitate some some dive to be played |
9171s | but as Johnny put it on the desk I |
9175s | already felt that Li was already part of |
9176s | this goat conversation I guess it it's |
9178s | depends on who you ask but going up |
9180s | against Merit will be his biggest test |
9183s | of this major so far yeah and I think |
9185s | huge obviously win here for Toronto is |
9188s | you know having someone who's able to |
9189s | play all the tanks at such a high level |
9192s | not know for crazy raccoon right you |
9194s | want to make some changes between |
9195s | jumping and Max depending on I know what |
9197s | you expect to see where Toronto that's |
9200s | have to mess around with any of that |
9202s | keep someone I know in the game one of |
9203s | the best tanks overall playing all the |
9205s | different |
9206s | tanks it will be oh look at this so we |
9209s | have we saw this a little bit the other |
9210s | day it was not on ilos but uh we did |
9213s | see yeah we did see the Wrecking Ball |
9216s | come out here for crazy recruit so a |
9219s | little bit of a different walk here |
9221s | putting a lot of pressure on there yeah |
9223s | wrecking ball definitely a known |
9225s | component of Jin's hero pool nice little |
9227s | boot there from B though May That junin |
9229s | Couldn't bu up speed |
9230s | that he needed to make the bo happen but |
9232s | to is Shu already getting involved Merit |
9234s | DED by the biotic grenade could not |
9236s | stand on the fight yeah they take so |
9238s | much damage I know Merit does that just |
9240s | a biotic grenade R from Shoot is enough |
9243s | to finish off the city of the defiant if |
9245s | you want to keep that cidy alive you |
9247s | know everything we really kind of build |
9250s | around that yeah so sugar free actually |
9252s | will make a swap here know far far and |
9256s | Tracer right we kind of see this kind of |
9258s | happen where the other team you know you |
9260s | have a farv far match one of the fars go |
9262s | Echo then the next response is Tracer |
9264s | that comes out from the oppos that |
9266s | should definitely looking to try and |
9267s | clip Pang Wings if at all possible these |
9270s | fights are going pretty quickly now of |
9271s | course with the Allin potential that re |
9274s | offers crazy |
9276s | raccoon mer looking to try and again |
9278s | pressure this Echo not easy to do quite |
9281s | often he's said looking to break line of |
9282s | sight but that's good damage and the M |
9283s | grenade slows the wrecking ball down for |
9285s | just long enough but Li is there two |
9287s | kills on the Tracer and he gets involved |
9289s | now with Cassidy off the field unloads |
9292s | those cool downs and finds three yeah |
9294s | the suzu was used a little bit earlier |
9296s | there in the fight by R Paul so you |
9297s | don't have the suzu to keep him alive uh |
9299s | from the pulse bomb that comes through |
9301s | and then it's a biotic grenade from Shu |
9303s | so the followup is really good there |
9304s | from heang in lip so uh even though you |
9307s | do end up losing your tank does not |
9309s | really matter in the end jum drops down |
9312s | no connect with the pile driers all of |
9314s | Toronto are playing inside that close |
9316s | room definitely where they're stronger |
9318s | these wide open maps can be challeng for |
9320s | this composition that features the Cassy |
9322s | and he looks to do the Tracer two |
9324s | tracers on the field right now for c |
9326s | racon three in total this is going to be |
9328s | a headache for Toronto to keep track of |
9330s | and a great sling Dart set up pressure |
9332s | on mer that's the stick okay kadak |
9335s | overdrive is in play but vas still |
9336s | brought down as he was low after the |
9338s | pulse bom he comes out of dupid that's a |
9340s | well time focusing to claim the malga |
9344s | this Cal here from czy Ron has looked |
9347s | awesome thus far probably to R those |
9349s | best up opportunity here double double |
9351s | support Al coming in may not even get a |
9353s | cage fight here without things are |
9355s | goinging someone's still at 72% it's a |
9357s | good point they're running out of time |
9359s | power driver on mirror once more again |
9360s | E6 close to the m if possible sound |
9364s | barrier used for Toronto to at least get |
9365s | them to the point but may have been a |
9366s | bit early as T now can hold on to his a |
9368s | little longer again it's Mera down he |
9371s | Sayang actually being the one to aggress |
9372s | out of the Cassidy is a risk taken but |
9374s | it pays off for crazy raccoon now he's |
9377s | can chill set up the action for a Time |
9379s | sticking bombs the combo is so simple |
9381s | but does expose himself to the pulse bom |
9383s | as he drops to the ground it may not |
9385s | matter though as the numbers so heavily |
9387s | favor crazy raccoon and no one else here |
9390s | can really match this ring ball cop |
9392s | maybe NRG |
9394s | shock you're unlikely to see them go up |
9396s | against Toronto to find again here that |
9399s | was brutal uh yeah that was just uh |
9402s | you're Toronto you just getting kind of |
9404s | throw that one away right not very close |
9407s | there uh in our first round on ilos is |
9411s | uh opportunity to make some changes uh I |
9414s | think you probably just play the the |
9415s | wind here like wrecking ball do not have |
9418s | a great time on this point specifically |
9421s | Lighthouse be the next one up Tero look |
9425s | at this a little bit of a you know |
9426s | shades of SSG right bringing out this |
9429s | reinar who better to do it than |
9432s | someone they keep the symmetra in play |
9434s | as well it's not something we always see |
9436s | on control Maps necessarily and you're |
9438s | going to have to do a lot of work to get |
9439s | someone within Striking Distance of this |
9441s | hyper mobile crazy raccoon |
9444s | composition they're playing it sneaky |
9446s | what are they waiting for you waiting |
9449s | for the point to open up here and then |
9451s | end up just kind of making a play for it |
9453s | is they're going to wrap all the way |
9455s | around TP the point I like that they get |
9457s | there immediately able to avoid the Poke |
9459s | damage of heack trying to circumvent |
9461s | that you know pretty oppressive long |
9464s | fight presence of far but immortality fi |
9467s | already had to be used czy raccoon don't |
9468s | have to commit yet no low sh got picked |
9471s | up by what a fire strike of all things |
9473s | how does someone find that kind of pick |
9475s | oh there's no fight to be had here at |
9477s | all yeah yet he's saying coming out |
9479s | originally there on the Echo goes over |
9481s | to the far once they see what's going on |
9484s | on the other side of |
9485s | things with some long range shots there |
9488s | takes out the far you're also probably |
9490s | waiting there Toronto until uh know it |
9492s | shows what heroes are being played on |
9494s | the other side because you're not going |
9495s | to do that TP potentially if there is |
9497s | like a Lucio on the other side things uh |
9500s | been pretty uh pretty bad in that type |
9502s | of scenario so there is now nice Fight |
9504s | Win here for toron defiant as trying to |
9507s | get a little bit of momentum their favor |
9509s | J has to be so careful about this with |
9511s | the m grenade he can't get away he'll be |
9513s | held in place and flattened with all |
9515s | this damage that Pono do have he's hang |
9518s | on point here just flanking put some |
9520s | pressure down with the barrage available |
9522s | but has to stay away from this Cassidy |
9523s | with the air Matrix active she able to |
9526s | avoid some of those shots and |
9527s | immediately bar the call he s is |
9530s | silenced but it came the cost of someone |
9532s | no tank standing for Jon to fight they |
9534s | still want to commit the sound barrier |
9535s | to lengthen their |
9537s | lead I think they were just a little bit |
9539s | worried there because yeah Jun up on The |
9541s | High Ground you still had some damage |
9542s | coming on in it's going to be an anab |
9544s | boost here used onto the wind War CER |
9547s | finds both supports a nice job getting |
9550s | out of the way of someone there as he |
9551s | was getting quite low that far a damage |
9554s | just so consistent up in the sky just |
9556s | chunking players down let junin to just |
9558s | go in finish them off had to wait out |
9560s | that a m for quite some time mer was |
9562s | sitting pretty behind that and then |
9564s | dives into WS it notices that rup |
9565s | actually dropped down easy pick up for |
9568s | Jun been found twoo that was basically |
9570s | the fight wrapped up they able to ignore |
9572s | Merit for a time but this is a 78% total |
9576s | the Define H now to put together already |
9579s | on Lighthouse yeah and a TP from that |
9581s | like far left hand side would be a |
9582s | little bit Terra at the moment so looks |
9584s | like trying to different position here |
9589s | fast play for the point they're going to |
9591s | wrap all the way around they're going to |
9592s | go take some High Ground Control here |
9595s | he's second J though strike gold early |
9597s | on rup and Baker just might be lagging |
9599s | behind the rest of the Toronto Pelon I |
9602s | mean they go try and make a play for |
9603s | shul up there on The High Ground in a |
9605s | big biotic grenade and then juming right |
9607s | there with the rest of the team to help |
9609s | that on it in the backline as uh may not |
9612s | want to try that one again as that was |
9614s | pretty devastating sticking with this |
9616s | Sim though as a wall is just around the |
9618s | corner it be a great way to shut sh and |
9620s | he sang respectively down make it awful |
9622s | dangerous for junin to cross it as that |
9624s | healing from Anna would be impossible |
9626s | here's the wall diagonally thrown over |
9627s | towards the point here they want to |
9628s | cross through with the TP with jimin he |
9630s | standing at the door the TP doesn't go |
9632s | all the way through the TP actually just |
9633s | lands on like that flower part front |
9635s | that means that also T can't use a sybol |
9637s | to their advantage now they're going to |
9639s | reposition towards that Central Area |
9641s | he's saying we'll be waiting for them to |
9643s | emerge with a barage again they Define |
9645s | know they need to play in the shade for |
9646s | the time |
9647s | being okay H bomb no good for there it's |
9650s | going to be a Primal Rage po by John Ben |
9651s | he's HED for now he's able to dodge away |
9653s | from the Shadow and he gets a two for |
9655s | one swing oh buddy St is back breaking |
9659s | Toronto are struggling in this round yes |
9662s | they try and get onto the point and they |
9663s | droping ant Matrix in Reverse Ray makes |
9665s | it really difficult to kind of push on |
9667s | into it but John with the Primal Rage |
9670s | players are already so weak just the |
9672s | shadow too that was big he was hinded as |
9674s | well that's so easy now and now changes |
9676s | here for the defiant right uh someone's |
9678s | going to go over to the |
9680s | somehow couldn't tell you how that |
9682s | happened magrite doesn't find Chong he's |
9685s | just oh you're bloody kidding me at land |
9688s | boys we're at |
9691s | land so that is a crazy recuit winning |
9695s | map number one uh not able to get a |
9698s | touch there towards the end uh was |
9701s | Toronto they do get rid of the far on |
9703s | the other side I'm looking at him like a |
9704s | disappointed father nobody able to make |
9706s | it towards the point so I'm pretty |
9709s | strong performance there from crazy recr |
9711s | we were like a this is going to be a |
9713s | close game |
9714s | whatnot so far here at the start crazy |
9718s | recruit making a |
9720s | statement Toronto defant start that |
9723s | fight with an easy pick on heang from a |
9726s | Winston of all things they are in like a |
9729s | I don't know a 5v3 situation there and |
9731s | just can't get to the point in time even |
9734s | with a symmetra apparently that was |
9735s | quite difficult there's much to dig into |
9736s | in that first map was head over the |
9738s | desid to uh hm break it down a |
9742s | bit thank you so much yeah let's break |
9745s | down all of the action C9 no really what |
9750s | you want to see on that first map there |
9752s | but you know it is what it is let's |
9753s | actually start uh at the beginning |
9755s | though uh looking at the compositions we |
9756s | did get to see lip on that Tracer that's |
9759s | definitely something that we haven't |
9760s | discussed just one the best tracers in |
9761s | the world yeah I mean I think that's |
9764s | going to be a huge Edge for crazy |
9766s | raccoon in this series right that lip |
9767s | has a hero light Tracer that fits into |
9770s | these very flexible compositions and yet |
9773s | doesn't have vulnerability like hit scan |
9775s | I mean Merritt's a very very impressive |
9776s | player on the hit scan but I think the |
9778s | fact that lip is not using the role at |
9780s | all playing Tracer it's actually a |
9782s | critical hero in his BL Barett does play |
9784s | Tracer but I definitely take lip |
9787s | decisively in that mirror I think you |
9789s | really do want to keep sugarfree on the |
9791s | flex Heroes if you're Tonto defiant so |
9793s | this could be a little bit of a gap in |
9794s | the armor for Toronto def f a tough C9 |
9797s | at the end there as well of ilos little |
9799s | bit of a mistake from someone not |
9801s | touching I don't think you can blame |
9802s | sugarfree because in that spot you know |
9804s | lips lip's been around the block right |
9806s | he knows the enemy Trac is going to come |
9808s | for the retake I guarantee he's being |
9809s | hard marked in the One V one there oh oh |
9811s | that bait bit oh oh just like showing |
9813s | yourself for a brief second the shatter |
9816s | and couldn't really get it I I think you |
9818s | got to be kicking yourself if you're |
9819s | thrown to the F because you got it to 78 |
9821s | to zero here on Lighthouse great |
9823s | execution by the Rhino composition but |
9825s | you just got to find a way to win you |
9827s | know one and a half fight pretty much on |
9828s | lightos there to secure that round right |
9831s | either you know swapping over to the |
9832s | Winston it wasn't all right Swift of |
9834s | course because no ultimate on the side |
9835s | of CH raccoon maybe there's a way you |
9837s | can may like Flex over to the MAA and |
9838s | just force it that way make life |
9840s | difficult for Jun bin but you got to be |
9841s | kicking yourself you lost that round you |
9843s | got to look forward in the series but |
9846s | we're we're in the same spot we were |
9847s | like an hour ago |
9849s | soe that's very true but you know what |
9852s | and we could still look ahead and and |
9854s | and strategize or just you know have |
9856s | some hopium and copium like we we can do |
9858s | all of that let said disgust the maps |
9860s | coming up because this is going to be of |
9861s | course the piig for Toronto defiant |
9864s | where would you take us now cuz I |
9866s | somehow feel like control you can only |
9869s | take away so much from a control map and |
9871s | now the real strategy begins I mean to |
9874s | be honest I think Toronto's really hard |
9875s | to predict right now I don't think |
9876s | there's like an obvious map pick and I |
9878s | think that's going to play to their |
9879s | advantage they're not really forced to |
9880s | go any One Direction I don't think |
9882s | you're scared of the dive mirror maybe |
9884s | it is most likely going to be whatever |
9886s | their best win rate is for escort or |
9888s | hybrid uh to deny you know some of those |
9890s | stronger weaker Maps whatever the |
9892s | highest variance map type is they'll |
9893s | pick |
9894s | it there a lot of confidence forcing |
9897s | more more evidence I think that they |
9898s | really do want to take this with scan |
9900s | Mir keep Meritt in his comfort zone and |
9902s | I did think we did see the stats at the |
9903s | end of ilos I think those are very |
9905s | misleading stats though playing the ryin |
9906s | Sim on on Lighthouse is not a strategy |
9909s | that's going to give you good stats |
9910s | you're going to die and you're going to |
9911s | get damage farmed but you're going to be |
9913s | sitting on the point capping it so well |
9916s | round one was really dominant for crazy |
9917s | raccoon those stats were I think over |
9918s | exaggerated how how far apart they were |
9921s | on that first it's it's going to be a |
9923s | really interesting series but again the |
9924s | hit scan matchup Li versus Merit we're |
9927s | going to Circuit real I am really scared |
9929s | of facing lip on this map I'll tell you |
9931s | that anyone would be uh lip scary guy |
9934s | regardless of where you facing off |
9936s | against him for now you will be facing |
9937s | off against him on circus we how we |
9940s | feeling about this map Choice gentlemen |
9942s | it feels like it's pretty standard |
9943s | honestly for you for teams that don't |
9945s | really want to be coerced into playing |
9947s | dive but we're dealing with someone here |
9949s | on the on the defiant side so I feel |
9950s | like it doesn't really matter what these |
9952s | guys play he's excellent in any of those |
9955s | roles do you want to play what we just |
9957s | saw there on ilos I mean they would end |
9959s | up playing like maybe not wrecking ball |
9962s | per se but like a Winston base |
9963s | composition and then H it was just |
9965s | really all crazy raccoons in that type |
9967s | of setup that's fair I mean let's shift |
9969s | the uh focus a little bit here and talk |
9970s | about lip right on on tracer on that map |
9972s | looked really really good in general I |
9975s | don't know he is part of the goat |
9976s | conversation already right I feel like I |
9978s | don't think I missed the demo there we |
9980s | were talking about this guy I mean to be |
9982s | fair he was up for MVP on the same year |
9984s | that proper was so that's a bit rough I |
9986s | guess yeah I and I think it's pretty you |
9988s | know uh subjective in terms of uh right |
9991s | I think all the damage deal is going to |
9993s | kind of Rise top of that Top's top two |
9995s | in the world at the very least no yeah |
9997s | yeah I mean for his role I would say so |
9999s | right I mean you think kind of like his |
10001s | hit scan counter part or whatnot like is |
10003s | like Merit on the other side right you |
10004s | kind of have know him on the other side |
10006s | of the stage in terms of like how strong |
10008s | those players are right now uh but uh Li |
10011s | getting the better of uh Series so far |
10014s | yeah I mean and we we're often sort of |
10015s | pitting him against merits in this kind |
10017s | of head-to-head but when you were |
10019s | playing Cassidy uh where his lip |
10021s | obviously has he's actually not really |
10023s | considered the most flexible I think |
10025s | there was a time where you know in the |
10026s | Sombra meta I think that hurt lip a |
10029s | little bit I think it hurt his |
10030s | reputation um well not Maybe not maybe |
10032s | his legacy but you know here can play |
10035s | Tracer when he's s is playing Far |
10037s | definitely can play hitan I mean his soj |
10039s | is probably the best in the world I |
10040s | think his soj is the best of the world |
10042s | personally we have a swap here |
10043s | subtitution on the side of crazy raccoon |
10046s | making use of that deep bench at tank |
10048s | here to bring Max in for JN Vin Max |
10051s | always feels like a bit more of a brawl |
10053s | tank player but there's a lot of overlap |
10055s | between the hero PS of the two tanks on |
10056s | crazy raccoon yeah and I I also think we |
10059s | talk about uh know how well the tanks |
10061s | have performed here uh for crazy raccoon |
10064s | then lip as well and none of that is |
10067s | possible I mean Jong and SHO so good uh |
10071s | in combination with I mean individually |
10073s | and in combination with each other uh |
10075s | that it makes it enables you to do so |
10078s | many different things with the rest of |
10079s | the lineup and it also allows players to |
10081s | take maybe a little bit more risk right |
10083s | knowing you have those two backing you |
10084s | up competitive uh map of ilos I would |
10088s | say Lighthouse they a little bit odd |
10090s | they were attempts from the defant to |
10092s | make use of that Sim Reinhardt |
10094s | composition but there was a Sim wall |
10096s | that was thrown up and then a TP that |
10097s | didn't really match up with it kind of |
10099s | forced Toronto to play elsewhere they |
10102s | actually pivoted around the map they |
10103s | sort of rotated and all of a sudden the |
10104s | Sim wasn't relevant anymore it |
10107s | definitely looked like they were a |
10108s | little uncomfortable trying to play that |
10110s | style into Jin's Winston |
10113s | setup again that map could have go |
10115s | either way if they don't sort of fail to |
10116s | touch the point at the end of the round |
10118s | these things happen even with the best |
10120s | teams in the biggest of stages they |
10122s | happen but again pretty annoying when |
10124s | you know how much expectation is on your |
10127s | shoulders someone especially as a world |
10129s | champion knows exactly what it takes to |
10132s | beat a team like crazy raccoon and in |
10134s | the last series you know at the end of |
10135s | it right we kind of talked about how map |
10137s | 2 was uh extremely important uh in the |
10141s | grand scheme of things for SSG to be |
10142s | able to get they don't get it uh they |
10144s | end up losing 3 I I feel very similarly |
10147s | about this series I I think this map is |
10150s | almost essential here for Toronto to F |
10153s | they want to make this again I think |
10155s | that's a fair point and I think Jake |
10157s | said on the desk at the start of this |
10158s | game this is this is kind of like the |
10159s | last chance for him to have belief in |
10163s | you know North America or european teams |
10165s | taking on the very best from APAC this |
10168s | is this is the real game to watch this |
10170s | is how you get a feel for how far ahead |
10173s | APAC are if at all Char def have to make |
10177s | good on this map selection they have to |
10179s | turn circuit |
10180s | Royal into a winning |
10184s | 4A like many teams have tried to |
10186s | leverage this map to gain an edge in the |
10188s | series |
10190s | we just not play jalter avoid getting |
10193s | jaled also |
10196s | reasonable we'll see what the |
10198s | composition looks like here defense |
10201s | though we can talk Max playing that |
10202s | Sigma it will be heang far no life |
10205s | Weaver like we saw of course from |
10207s | Falcons not a preference for crazy |
10209s | raccoon Shu will have to keep he s |
10212s | topped up bit of ground for play |
10214s | required to make sure that yeah he can |
10216s | be aggressive he can poke Li on the |
10219s | Widowmaker though that's going to be fun |
10221s | especially if Meritt chooses to match it |
10224s | oh yeah that'll be an awesome match up |
10226s | that is ultimately uh what we get out of |
10229s | the damage dealers on the defiant |
10231s | obviously still a lot of time for them |
10233s | to make some |
10234s | changes uh see what they decid to do |
10237s | Hanzo Sonic Arrow then maybe kind of |
10240s | decide to switch the up here a little |
10242s | bit so son get mer seen everything he |
10246s | needs to L the play to Cassidy here |
10249s | ratra Brawl for Toronto sugar free of |
10252s | course can sort of climb up the |
10253s | buildings and pop down behind crazy |
10255s | raccoon the cassid is going to be really |
10257s | good at obviously putting pressure onto |
10259s | Max and then know if the rig is playing |
10261s | close by Sigma mirror yes so they'll |
10263s | play Sigma mirror well they'll actually |
10265s | sugarfree here play the soldier here so |
10267s | it's a little bit of a different from |
10269s | tan double hit versus far not the first |
10271s | time we've seen at this |
10273s | tournament suar needs to respect what Li |
10276s | can do here this Dr the shot thrown down |
10279s | a nuisance for Max to deal |
10281s | with oia trying to buy his time the |
10285s | perfect opportunity to Spring forth as |
10286s | those secet Shields are brought down the |
10288s | Mer's already been crumpled there by |
10290s | that accretion kit yeah I we see how |
10294s | healthy Max gets there with that ktic |
10296s | grass you know up above the 700 HP at |
10299s | the |
10300s | time Rupal will take out he here so |
10303s | that's a lot of just splash damage right |
10305s | that's going to build up so you might be |
10307s | able to make a push now look what rup |
10308s | was playing so heang must have really |
10310s | overextended there into the line of |
10311s | sight of the |
10312s | Baptist and Toronto do have a lethal C |
10315s | to far if heang step on that pick now |
10318s | switching of course it would have been |
10319s | dangerous he has double hit scan and |
10322s | Matrix |
10323s | quickly that caught them off guard cuz |
10325s | Max is like stepping up to actually play |
10327s | on the payload and I think just having |
10329s | that a trick definitely surprised him a |
10330s | little bit that'll be a response though |
10332s | from Shu J three kind of trapped there |
10334s | didn't want to peek in the line of side |
10335s | but he s was knocking on his door his |
10338s | proverbial door |
10340s | Tong now uh that's not where you want to |
10341s | be at all had to fold back around the |
10343s | corner but that Shield has almost been |
10344s | taken down they're waiting for Max to |
10346s | get back into the fight he's about to |
10347s | drop down from that High Ground here and |
10349s | C could have done a great job of staying |
10351s | healthy in the |
10352s | meantime giving everybody |
10355s | T now you have everybody back here in a |
10357s | full fight so you get maxed earlier with |
10359s | that ant Matrix there for Toronto but |
10362s | you're you're not even really going to |
10363s | get much progress from him what's Li |
10365s | been up to he's not already been a to |
10366s | find any you know insta kills here the |
10369s | only hero in the game that can really |
10370s | manufacture them now yeah not not able |
10373s | to really kind of connect with anything |
10374s | at the moment be a block here from |
10376s | someone you'll get a kill up that cuz |
10377s | the rally rolling for they got Mero so |
10379s | the L share of damage for Toronto taken |
10381s | off the table so okay is going to go for |
10385s | it over here but has to be mindful of |
10387s | where Li his position so he sticks to |
10389s | the right hand side stays at line side |
10390s | of the Widowmaker now wants to come |
10392s | forward but someone is a little bit low |
10393s | immortality fil for Toronto has expired |
10395s | V beat is gone SH now getting close to |
10399s | ant Matrix which would be devastating in |
10401s | Le of the extra healing resources of the |
10403s | attackers Toronto have had to back up |
10405s | yeah ant Matrix we ant Matrix for the |
10407s | next fight as well so in for Sight too |
10410s | yeah in for sight so uh you'll also have |
10412s | a blade so we get a chance to see kind |
10414s | of uh how ke goes about using that in |
10418s | this next fight this next one could be |
10419s | huge right that's where they got the |
10421s | most kind of push I would say here for |
10423s | Toronto use this maybe ifon get a little |
10426s | bit around the corner they decide to |
10427s | back out completely avoid that a the |
10430s | temptation to overextend after your a |
10432s | matrix doesn't give you anything it's |
10433s | probably there for a lot of teams but |
10434s | not crazy raccoon good discipline he's |
10437s | saying No this could be dangerous hit by |
10439s | both the M grenade and the acction and |
10441s | brought down now crazy raccoon have to |
10443s | fold back they don't have the blade to |
10445s | Leverage is the only ultimate they could |
10447s | bring Ino great Shield patch gets rid of |
10450s | Rupal sh morality field does its job |
10452s | sugar free had to clear that first |
10454s | another one Merit Falls once more two in |
10456s | quick succession and a quick slide from |
10458s | sugar to get out of the graffi flux puts |
10460s | Max in a bit of a awkward position he's |
10462s | very overextended he's very deep there |
10465s | is a health pack inside of this room but |
10468s | they turn around deal with him rather |
10469s | quickly you're going to have both |
10470s | supports back in the mix here for crazy |
10472s | raccoon and he still have this blade he |
10474s | SS back but surely you don't draw the |
10475s | blade here he can stall caught in the |
10477s | flux he's dead very dead there it is |
10481s | going to be brought down with a |
10482s | disrupted shot out it to the mix and now |
10484s | T to find have themselves at first |
10486s | checkpoint Merit matching the Widow |
10488s | battle here that's fun but it's lip |
10490s | getting taken down by sugarfree instead |
10493s | it does not feel like we've really seen |
10494s | lip's impact here on the Widow Maker |
10497s | thus far couple kills he got there at |
10498s | once I think that's it yeah he kind of |
10502s | playing a little bit further back there |
10503s | on that High Ground man some changes |
10506s | there towards the end uh just to going |
10509s | to get back towards the P for crazy so |
10511s | they'll make the adjustments to move on |
10512s | back as uh Merit now will play the cast |
10514s | yet again as we're going to see manra |
10516s | and just yeah just as we were talking |
10519s | about it Len he just overextends a |
10522s | little |
10524s | bit it's got a decent Angle now need to |
10528s | wait for a speed boost this is an |
10530s | awkward spot to play against uh this |
10532s | poke set up the |
10534s | to very very |
10537s | close lip also has that infight coming |
10539s | up pretty soon pretty crucial mer |
10541s | actually switches back to the city sight |
10544s | walls here now po Li look how much time |
10548s | dying tono just pushed down to the |
10551s | really hard part of the map only 90 |
10553s | seconds man they can't really afford to |
10555s | be delayed for too much longer they |
10557s | might charge in with a beat speed boost |
10559s | they need to force a fight somehow yeah |
10561s | there's no there's no speed for Crazy R |
10563s | right it's going to be very difficult to |
10564s | disengage if that the case M grenade got |
10566s | thrown out there but it's going to be |
10567s | heang going in first blade is good gets |
10569s | through the immortality field of Rupal |
10570s | and the defant are about to come |
10572s | crashing |
10573s | down that's a one-sided fight if I've |
10576s | ever seen it there was a beat there |
10577s | somewhere I'm sure of it |
10580s | yeah it's a the beat an Ajax was it a so |
10585s | sper went down |
10586s | first it might I I didn't exactly hit |
10590s | with inst |
10592s | Replay that is a tough stuff especially |
10594s | because you're playing around that for |
10595s | so long right uh |
10598s | responds in a really situation this is |
10601s | an ant matri here oh |
10603s | shoot yeah they push up there with their |
10605s | own immortality field oh my goodness lip |
10609s | says sorry buddy I've got a sweet too |
10611s | crazy raccoon now with four Still |
10613s | Standing this is this is a domination |
10617s | this also isn't exactly super comfy for |
10619s | Toronto because when we've seen them |
10621s | play sojourn base compositions it's |
10623s | really been better to play the sojer and |
10624s | sugarfree on the Tracer like that's |
10626s | where they've kind of like had their |
10627s | most success playing those different |
10629s | suar on his is an interesting look yeah |
10632s | it's obviously you can play it but it's |
10634s | not exactly what they've kind of run |
10635s | throughout the history we've seen this |
10636s | team so far so |
10639s | now speed the hinder goes down there |
10642s | connects on to Sho but it'll be the |
10643s | Genji here for goes into the dash that's |
10646s | up crazy raccoon a little bit rally up |
10648s | here for Chong INF to the fire want to |
10650s | try and close the gap and someone does |
10652s | have Annihilation but how do you make |
10653s | use of it here CRA raccoon will continue |
10655s | to give ground give ground set up for |
10658s | good poke there's Li CH Free's down |
10660s | again what a pick |
10661s | off he's fighting really important |
10663s | eliminations here the annihilation can't |
10665s | be stopped by Max's kinetic grass for |
10667s | now the crazy raccoon team have to |
10668s | commit into this mm Merit from behind it |
10671s | though with a dead eye someone was |
10672s | forced back somehow and then |
10674s | Annihilation is forced to expire too |
10677s | sugar free returns on the Tracer now has |
10678s | to get involved Subway with a biotic |
10680s | grenade ding someone means the morality |
10682s | field has to be used but just Picks It |
10684s | Off out of the sky there's nothing here |
10686s | for the defiant to work with what a |
10689s | one-sided |
10690s | round to for Toronto they do get that |
10693s | first checkpoint right they make it not |
10695s | exactly to the second one fall short |
10697s | just a little bit but a lot bit I feel |
10699s | sure a lot |
10701s | bit would exactly call a lot |
10705s | you semantics they're a long way away |
10708s | almost 70% of the way there but uh you |
10711s | know you start to see lip come alive |
10713s | there on the Widowmaker forces them with |
10715s | the infite a few times just kind of burn |
10717s | clock burn clock burn clock here's |
10720s | here's what we were talking about uh |
10721s | know so this is when they were kind of |
10723s | like holding on to the sound bar to kind |
10724s | of push on up the humanity of it all |
10728s | just as they're actually trying to use |
10730s | even the uh the immortality field it |
10731s | looks like there to make sure they get |
10733s | it but the immortality gets taken out |
10735s | like almost instantly looks like in |
10736s | flame if I was vag there I'd be doing a |
10738s | striker and I would have punched a hole |
10740s | through the LED wall behind me I mean |
10742s | well if you were if you were playing |
10744s | Lucio Jake's Master vision of uh |
10747s | basically the W do they have one of |
10750s | those probably I'm playing that anyone |
10753s | looking for a team mate Johnny support |
10757s | mate Johnny what's go we're going to |
10759s | we're going to run it back buddy let's |
10760s | go I'm so ready TR to find though I mean |
10764s | they got made to look a little foolish |
10765s | at a couple points there losing the |
10767s | sound barrier while they were playing |
10769s | that low ground M they had to force a |
10770s | fire we knew that speed out beat but oh |
10772s | buddy and the walls have forced them |
10774s | into that position right they kind of |
10776s | just uh rotate around that corner get |
10778s | stuck there |
10780s | so Toronto playing uh pretty close here |
10783s | on defense of a ratra base competition |
10786s | here at the start look at this SE run |
10789s | by he's looking like Mr bloody |
10790s | Fahrenheit charging over the C |
10792s | there okay take it down and come out |
10796s | awful early in this forward hole from |
10798s | the toron f is going to be dismantled in |
10801s | short |
10802s | trick yeah I mean just when you think |
10803s | he's gone in the meta right M shows back |
10806s | up in a in a big way so uh look at this |
10810s | I think we're going to see a swap right |
10811s | they see nope no uh so actually Sigma on |
10814s | the other side probably you know |
10816s | debating what we decide to do do you |
10818s | mirror |
10821s | yeah teams in terms of what we see terms |
10825s | of tank play right it seems like teams |
10826s | are okay matching that Sigma at the end |
10828s | of the |
10829s | deck TR racon got plenty of Tanks they |
10832s | can do |
10833s | anything another early emo was that for |
10836s | Vegas sake it's unclear I'd be backing |
10838s | right up here if your Toronto that is |
10840s | very frightening Jong here playing close |
10843s | JY on the main trying to catch someone |
10845s | with the wall and Li was the target they |
10847s | get the Cassidy ni on by mer to |
10850s | respond and that's huge ra because you |
10853s | you don't get that kill on to lip there |
10855s | they're going to end up building this K |
10857s | Rush getting right around the corner and |
10859s | uh no immortality build at that moment |
10861s | would have been quite difficult so |
10862s | here's the K Rush Jedi in respon up it |
10866s | bar has to reload there still a lot of |
10868s | really low Health targets could have |
10869s | picked them off but only six in the six |
10871s | shooter down to a back grenade of all |
10874s | things so again the tality field gone |
10876s | the Baptist regenerative burst not there |
10878s | and they've used a sound barrier in |
10880s | order just to stay in the fight and then |
10882s | they have to back away anyway this is |
10883s | dangerous he's staying with the blade |
10885s | we'll have to wait he's hinded but |
10887s | getting healed up instantly by Chong who |
10888s | runs in with the |
10890s | Genji this is desperation now for the |
10892s | Dron to fire someone trying to hold his |
10895s | ground somehow but he walks down and |
10897s | gets blown up nice little gting flux |
10899s | there and that is the checkpoint coming |
10901s | up for crazy raccoon you great forun for |
10903s | CRA as well because they end using their |
10905s | sound barrier Chong end up doing it only |
10906s | connect to him and Shu at that moment |
10909s | right uh like a a wall or something in |
10911s | the mix that got thrown in that did not |
10913s | get great use of their own sound barrier |
10916s | but at the end of the day it doesn't |
10917s | really matter they get that checkpoint |
10918s | they have a load of time here to get |
10921s | just about 62 m dead ey Force bag oh |
10925s | look at how low they are that could have |
10926s | been a 5k dead ass could have been a 5k |
10928s | they didn't have an immortality field in |
10929s | play oh my God okay they've used it |
10934s | early once more though Ral said no |
10935s | choice but the power with a great FL |
10937s | that is a Champion flux right into the |
10940s | blizzard 2 Perfect combo for Toronto to |
10944s | fight they Manish to slow down trer |
10945s | raccoon for now stagger Max a little |
10948s | more maybe find some room to breathe if |
10951s | only for a moment yeah I mean the kill |
10954s | on Max there you just buy yourself even |
10956s | some more |
10960s | time yeah looking just for a coming out |
10962s | of Spawn right as head to roll again on |
10966s | that c it's p over me that and where do |
10969s | you decide to play here if you're |
10970s | Toronto right you can't play this low |
10972s | ground uh it's just a really pretty even |
10975s | that I thinker love that play his first |
10978s | Corner you're in an odd spot an Matrix |
10981s | use your Mayall combination trying to |
10983s | split players off doesn't seem like they |
10985s | caught anybody so now you may have to |
10987s | actually back up m in a poke seems |
10989s | prettyy tricky to make work it's all |
10991s | long range walls you got to be very pre |
10993s | meditated I think about how you set it |
10995s | up yeah Mite didn't make his way down |
10997s | seem to have been the case here he's s |
10998s | constantly threatening it's a really |
11000s | good area for a katune rush though right |
11002s | getting very close going to be sound |
11003s | barrier here he's mag Gren he's HED |
11006s | still able to find Max though getting |
11007s | rid of the sigma is so big now there's |
11009s | nowhere to hide for crazy raccoon that |
11011s | again they'll be shared back into spawn |
11013s | that is clean for merit yeah now it's |
11016s | starting to get rolling here for the |
11018s | defiant pretty good fight for them right |
11020s | they end up using that ey sound barrier |
11022s | in response for raccoon in there and |
11024s | don't get anything out of it so yeah |
11026s | they should wi this fight too yeah you |
11028s | mean in theory right you're going to |
11029s | have gratic block and you're going to |
11031s | have your own sound barrier probably in |
11032s | the billion ant Matrix here as well so |
11035s | they're in a pretty good spot the next |
11036s | thing you're looking at is like this |
11038s | blade right Vega not able to get the |
11040s | sound barrier down in that first half |
11042s | end up giving a lot of progress giving |
11045s | up lot probably their own a lot on V |
11048s | shoulders here open up the fight though |
11050s | with the flux and again lip loses in the |
11052s | one to one versus Merit happen to the |
11054s | best of you going up against a play like |
11057s | that here is a g CL on the side of the |
11059s | raccoon they're going to go for a blade |
11061s | as well but the sound Barry was there |
11063s | vager holds nerve holds onto that beat |
11066s | Meritt with another beautiful little 2K |
11068s | and this is what you expect from Meritt |
11070s | right we talk know Li one of the best |
11072s | hit scans in the world I Meritt is right |
11075s | up there I mean I think that is a very |
11077s | close uh battle between these two |
11079s | players Barrett starting to come alive |
11081s | on the cidy and look at this crazy |
11084s | actually you not going to be like a m |
11085s | right see have good success against F |
11088s | actually ratra yeah trying to push the |
11090s | battle L forward as much as possible but |
11092s | the m is such a nuisance for the ratra |
11093s | to deal with get for merit lip tries to |
11096s | roll the away he's getting clowned on |
11098s | Sho at least able to silence the Cassidy |
11100s | with a kunai that is the only joy that c |
11103s | r going to find and that cold winry |
11105s | landscape that sh fre is erected seconds |
11108s | less than a minute left now was your |
11109s | katune rush I was like a maybe you maybe |
11112s | want the rush with the rro right his |
11114s | cool down Prett strong inside of that b |
11118s | back to the bapti |
11120s | so seems likeon just kind of thrs up at |
11123s | the wall here trying to get something to |
11124s | work it's a top spot for any team to |
11126s | play FR we saw Toronto suffer in exactly |
11128s | the same position Chong no will have his |
11130s | beat if it doesn't get ajaxed then he'll |
11132s | be happy with it again there strikes |
11134s | though what a Target to find the MTI is |
11137s | down crazy raccoon now have to make a |
11139s | tough decision to regroup for one last |
11141s | push one last fight but he's HS been |
11143s | spotted mer claps Him special credit of |
11146s | course to the accretion to set it up |
11149s | yeah you you'll be able to get heang |
11150s | back from Spawn right it's definitely |
11151s | going to burn a little bit more clock to |
11154s | someone with this gravitic flock that |
11156s | Sounder that you mention wrong on the |
11158s | other side which is huge is good going |
11159s | to catch three sound bar has to come out |
11161s | IM it's enough to save them three |
11164s | seconds left they going a venture |
11165s | heading over towards the C they got to |
11166s | touch it here good Dead Eye good damage |
11168s | immortality field had to be used there |
11170s | by the Toronto to find and vager has |
11171s | gone down a matrix now but they don't |
11173s | have the players to capitalize on it |
11175s | they got a group up around the card |
11176s | raccoon the low cuu is going to be there |
11179s | first is going to be massive here to get |
11181s | him up top up but he has an air Matrix |
11182s | available here they come there steps |
11185s | back dead ey again lips out to avoid it |
11186s | but only justy eventually Falls a train |
11188s | as he s hits that flank hard Venture a |
11191s | real problem now for this poke |
11192s | composition of the TR defiant it's going |
11194s | to be Max pushing up on the card V goes |
11196s | for a beat but only two or three players |
11198s | were able to benefit from it at all Max |
11200s | wants to come forward he doesn't have |
11201s | nemes form available though a very |
11203s | healthy TR to find now Rupal morality |
11205s | field taken down flux who's in there Max |
11209s | gets the annihilation and fights vager |
11211s | huge immortality field from without a |
11213s | sound barrier everything you can ask for |
11216s | with that crazy raccoon's |
11219s | disposal what a fight what a contest but |
11223s | it will be a two lead to EUR Asia number |
11228s | one and for Toronto I mean you played |
11230s | that really well towards the end you |
11233s | hold them for about 3 and 1/2 minutes |
11236s | but you also gave them a about 4 and 1 |
11238s | 12 minutes right uh you just cannot give |
11241s | a team like crazy r that much time to |
11244s | get that checkpoint not even a second |
11247s | checkpoint completion so that one is got |
11249s | to be pretty devastating for Toronto it |
11252s | was intense competitive back and forth |
11255s | plenty of room for skill expression on |
11257s | both sides of the stage there but |
11260s | ultimately it's our North americ number |
11261s | one seed unable to get the map win that |
11264s | is what really counts yes they do have a |
11266s | selection of map and mode here coming up |
11269s | they're going to have to make it count |
11270s | it's their last chance to be the last |
11272s | team really from this region to put a |
11275s | stop to czy record yeah I mean uh look |
11279s | they they looked really strong there you |
11280s | know getting that hold for that amount |
11282s | of time I think Merit are to come alive |
11284s | on the cidy uh and and I think if you're |
11287s | Toronto you're you're probably wanting |
11289s | to do something with the sigma mirror |
11291s | right I think that's probably where they |
11292s | look their best yeah really we didn't |
11293s | see much of circuit Royal in the end |
11295s | there we saw the ratra come out and F |
11297s | success and C Rec let's head over the |
11298s | desk to break down the action from |
11300s | circuit Royal thank you so much guys |
11303s | yeah let's break it all down I mean |
11305s | heading into this very map at the |
11307s | beginning looking at the compositions |
11309s | especially the ones from Toronto Define |
11311s | they were cooking up something uh not |
11313s | necessarily stuff that easily to digest |
11316s | there were some compositions in there |
11317s | especially looking at the DPS lineup |
11319s | that we haven't really seen I know that |
11321s | you personally wanted to see Meritt |
11322s | taking that Widowmaker uh battle against |
11325s | lip initially he did for a hot SE second |
11328s | switched off again did pop off on that |
11330s | Cassidy at the very end though let's |
11332s | let's chat about what we've seen from |
11334s | that team and maybe break down the |
11335s | compositions and and the approach or the |
11338s | thought process that Toronto defin have |
11340s | behind it yeah I mean if anything we |
11341s | talked about Toronto's flexibility but |
11343s | it was crazy raccoon playing stock |
11345s | standard here I think this B rig is very |
11347s | effective defense the Genji Widow Sigma |
11349s | this pretty comparable to what we see at |
11351s | the highest level on circuit Royale for |
11353s | me it was this soier Cassidy is a very |
11356s | odd selection especially with the Lucio |
11357s | Bally with Lucio you want to connect to |
11359s | the enemy backline and plug in a DPS |
11362s | that wants to really get on top of the |
11364s | enemy so and Cassidy aren't really that |
11366s | hero typically they'd be paired with a |
11368s | May or a Genji that wants to create |
11370s | space for them the two of them together |
11371s | didn't work as well but sugarfree |
11373s | brought out the May here on the defense |
11375s | and Meritt man you give him this |
11376s | position on The High Ground give him |
11378s | that open window to flank into the |
11379s | backline and he delivered fight after |
11382s | fight after fight for me this hit scan |
11384s | mirror went merits way on this map even |
11386s | though the win eventually to Crazy |
11388s | raccoon I mean Toronto after the weak |
11390s | offense had no business having such a |
11392s | close hold and so I think they could be |
11394s | feeling good going into the next map |
11395s | this overtime can can we just can we |
11398s | just talk about this overtime like what |
11400s | do you have to do you just can't beat |
11403s | them like you just when you think T the |
11405s | find maybe they have the upper hand |
11407s | maybe with an early flux in spawn that |
11409s | can throw off Chris raccoon prevent the |
11410s | touch they get there in the final |
11412s | millisecond and then just with tooth and |
11415s | nail they just drag it out like well |
11417s | more can you ask for they refuse to I |
11420s | tried so hard but they're Unstoppable |
11422s | yeah and I mean this was they should be |
11424s | giving every T to to find fan a lot of |
11427s | Hope though uh it should be one one it |
11429s | should be but it's not so that's where |
11432s | we're at right now let's talk about uh |
11434s | the crazy raccoon here though that Squad |
11437s | I mean from front to back they're a |
11439s | tough opponent to go up against I think |
11441s | we're talking so much about lip |
11443s | obviously heading into this I do feel |
11444s | like we have to touch on that backline |
11446s | though because quite frankly Chong and |
11448s | Shu they've been such stand up players |
11451s | all throughout their careers yeah |
11453s | absolutely and I mean specifically on |
11454s | that defense I think that Chong really |
11456s | came on clutch with that break pick as |
11458s | well the the way he was able to hold |
11459s | down the front line uh with Max on the |
11461s | sigma of course and you saw some real |
11463s | crucial rallies coming through on the |
11465s | brid when the fight is turning when thr |
11466s | to defiant they're trying to extract |
11468s | ultimate value that is when Chong Pops |
11470s | that rally stabilizes the front line and |
11472s | he's making it so difficult for th to |
11475s | get a lot of value from this ultimate |
11476s | that was a Long Point like that took all |
11479s | four minutes to really secure the first |
11481s | point for Toronto rant and I think that |
11483s | Chong did a spectacular job on the break |
11485s | and Sho of course I mean he's one of the |
11487s | best stes in the world right so I think |
11489s | we talk a lot about lip of course and |
11491s | crazy raccoon but the backline I think |
11493s | was really strong on that circuit real |
11494s | and that was part of the reason why |
11496s | Toronto Define was held on the second |
11497s | point in the first place this also means |
11499s | now of course that it is once more up to |
11501s | Toronto to find to decide which map and |
11504s | which map mode we are heading to what |
11507s | where do you take it right let's take a |
11509s | look at the map set to see what's still |
11510s | available as well on this gust is a |
11512s | little bit uh as we just finished out |
11514s | our run on Circle |
11517s | Royale push flasho and hybrid still |
11520s | available to us uh where do you see the |
11522s | best chances for this Toronto Define |
11523s | spot it's a long road home for Toronto |
11526s | def find to to bring the reverse sweep |
11527s | in this series but I think it's got to |
11529s | start on a hybrid map probably just |
11531s | whatever your biggest comfort zone |
11532s | hybrid map is in the end the next two |
11535s | map picks even if you win this map okay |
11537s | it's going to be expected hybrid but the |
11539s | next two map picks even if you win are |
11541s | going to be for crazy raccoon so you |
11542s | want to deny the most valuable map type |
11544s | pick which of course hybrid with four |
11546s | Maps the best get that out of the way |
11547s | for t to F there is a road here right |
11550s | because even though crazy raccoon might |
11552s | get those next map picks if you can |
11554s | start it here on Hollywood if you can |
11556s | get it going for draon the Fant those |
11557s | next map picks just aren't that valuable |
11559s | push flash point not as differentiated |
11562s | as the other map types and so frankly |
11563s | there is a road here and after we saw |
11565s | the last map after the the speed started |
11568s | to get on that Cassidy normally with a |
11570s | down 20 I'm I'm feeling pretty hopeless |
11572s | but to be honest I I still believe this |
11575s | this is still doable I think it's going |
11576s | to be an really interesting map and |
11578s | maybe we'll see some more Winston being |
11579s | played on this map you know we' seen |
11580s | this on ratra in Europe but I think it's |
11582s | primarily going to be the Winston |
11583s | compositions now someone of course a |
11584s | really gifted Winston but the player |
11586s | that I keep my eyes on in this map |
11588s | specifically is going to be sugar-free |
11590s | on Toronto Defiance I feel like if |
11591s | they're going to play tracer on this map |
11593s | you're going to have to come up clutch |
11594s | and you're playing against some Elite |
11596s | tracers with both lip and he's saying |
11598s | whoever they throw out there right so |
11599s | it's going to be a really tough match up |
11600s | with sugar free I think he needs to come |
11601s | up clutch for turn to the CLI let's see |
11603s | if he can get it done and if they keep |
11605s | themselves alive in the upper bracket |
11607s | for all the action we once more heading |
11608s | it over to our favorite gentleman Mitch |
11611s | and Mr X thank you yeah look I mean |
11614s | Hollywood coming up here maybe a little |
11616s | less expected but with two teams like |
11617s | this the map PS a little bit wider they |
11620s | way more options but we're definitely |
11622s | thinking dive compositions here and uh |
11624s | this makes perfect sense so max comes |
11626s | out junin comes in it's dive time yeah a |
11629s | lot of verticality obviously on |
11630s | Hollywood in the second part of the map |
11633s | I I think Hollywood it forces you to |
11636s | play more tanks right you can play Sigma |
11638s | at the start you can control high ground |
11639s | by that first point As you move through |
11641s | the map they're obviously beneficial |
11644s | things to playing you know tanks who can |
11646s | access have verticality on the offensive |
11648s | side mostly so I think it's going to |
11650s | give uh Toronto maybe a little bit of an |
11652s | edge they feel there right they don't |
11654s | have to make a decision of okay do we go |
11656s | into the map with with Max we go to the |
11658s | map with junin but also it does not |
11660s | really seem to matter that much right |
11662s | crazy raccoon seem to be able to play uh |
11665s | regardless of which tank is he at such a |
11666s | high level yeah I think we're getting a |
11668s | little bit thin on The Narrative of |
11670s | close games but three O's here at owcs |
11673s | Major and I'd say the def feel pretty |
11675s | simly now as their backs are up against |
11677s | the wall well when you said ilos was |
11679s | like pretty close I was like I was going |
11682s | to ask C9 so I was like but I was like |
11685s | uh was was SSG Falcons io's |
11689s | close well yes like yes I was like so |
11693s | how like on the on super close to very |
11696s | close to not really super that close |
11699s | like where was it on the rank I'll leave |
11701s | it I'll leave it a competitive I've |
11702s | already developed my power ranking for |
11704s | closeness of games look at this a |
11706s | surprise here on defense of |
11708s | mar oh the verticality is less important |
11711s | here I think defendant are going to have |
11713s | that sort of access to that area by |
11715s | default probably still feels like they |
11717s | need to luo here to deny die but oh okay |
11719s | we might ah I was hoping for that yeah |
11721s | like the re pop CP that we saw onsan and |
11724s | earlier on going to be Mal time though |
11727s | of course all roads lead to Mal and for |
11729s | Toronto I think this damage dealer |
11731s | lineup makes like way more sense in |
11733s | terms of uh know having the Cassidy with |
11735s | the far I agreed with you know Jake like |
11738s | playing cassid so was just uh a little |
11741s | odd there you know what they were trying |
11743s | to do on circuit but CER actually match |
11747s | so a a near match up talked a little bit |
11750s | about ma Sigma and other different kind |
11752s | of competitions we haven't seen a of MAA |
11755s | be M we saw it in the SSG Falcon series |
11758s | a little bit right off the rip you lose |
11761s | Meritt yeah I feel like Meritt had to |
11763s | send a written request for healing there |
11765s | a little bit too late as Pang was able |
11767s | to poke him down with a couple of |
11768s | rockets and well looks like we're |
11769s | picking up folks where we left off C |
11772s | raccoon an easy point a take yeah and I |
11775s | think now the far has become uh a little |
11777s | bit harder to play right now that |
11778s | everybody can kind of have High Ground |
11780s | Control here so see what Toronto decides |
11784s | to do that they going to get up towards |
11786s | that High Ground uh looks like they'll |
11788s | have someone get up there with the rest |
11790s | of the crew give sug be a nice Vantage |
11795s | for trying to he looking to set up as |
11798s | well as they |
11799s | can sugar free far can fire into this |
11802s | choke here it's definitely an advantage |
11804s | position for the Defenders but not for |
11806s | long as this starts to advance Shu gets |
11809s | really low it's a few shots there from |
11812s | sugarfree as uh unless you force him |
11814s | down from The High Ground you're going |
11815s | to get no value when this rush comes up |
11817s | Li's going to be put to the de still |
11818s | have these small Windows where sh fre |
11820s | will be exposed to that CID damage so a |
11823s | couple consecutive head shots and |
11824s | there's actually nothing that Toronto |
11825s | could do to keep sugar free standing no |
11827s | burst killing available to them what are |
11829s | you try and do here if you're crazy you |
11831s | event need to take The High Ground yeah |
11833s | it looks like they're going to try and |
11834s | maybe just push some shots in it range |
11836s | and get these players split from someone |
11839s | now they do get control high lip stack |
11842s | at his position he comes up a little bit |
11844s | later okay hit by the M grenade |
11846s | apparently crazy raccoon taking their |
11848s | time here's to push they want to |
11848s | disengage but they don't have the |
11849s | opportunity they drop off oh the counter |
11852s | Barrow is good but Mer's ready for it |
11853s | lifto responds both Cassies striking |
11856s | gold here in this fight it's vager down |
11858s | for the defined vager who was so close |
11860s | to building a beach now Toronto have to |
11862s | play safe for a moment let the car push |
11864s | up yeah about half HP right doesn't |
11867s | exactly want to come around the corner |
11869s | use this Rush as even more progress |
11871s | going to be gotten here by crazy Ron Ral |
11873s | couldn't take the risk of wall climbing |
11874s | back up there he had the Swift step so |
11876s | that cool down is unavailable for the |
11877s | next few |
11879s | seconds this a must wi fight for ton has |
11882s | to be perfect but almost four minutes on |
11884s | the clock you cannot allow them to take |
11885s | that second checkpoint that's for |
11887s | support ultimate in play here this is |
11889s | the most important fight of the map so |
11890s | far not that that's saying |
11892s | much so for the low ground ton been |
11894s | forced down here they have to play on |
11896s | the card J been say jono drops down he |
11899s | tries to fold around the corner of the |
11900s | building away from the Cassidy presence |
11902s | katun rushes from both sides and Cho's |
11904s | going to be the one that falls with beat |
11906s | no less okay an opening here for Toronto |
11909s | mer zones away with that Dead Eye I say |
11910s | that unironically here as the defant |
11912s | should be out to comfortably complete |
11914s | this fight yeah that's huge it feels |
11916s | like once they actually get that kill on |
11917s | a CH wrong the fight is basically over |
11919s | as Vega doesn't feel like he has best |
11922s | his beat Chong obviously doesn't have |
11924s | the beat 's back in spawn will be bothun |
11928s | rushan views there so this also allows |
11930s | Toronto to get back in control of that |
11932s | high ground and took a little bit for |
11933s | crazy raccoons to push him off that spot |
11935s | so a huge fight win there from the |
11937s | Divine yeah no need as well for the |
11939s | Divine to use that Beast cage fight for |
11941s | someone is available but they need to |
11943s | wait for the Crazy R to drop down and |
11945s | there it is Meritt the one that takes |
11947s | the advantage of a brief window to see |
11949s | the far and find the head shot yeah it |
11952s | look like they were trying to just kind |
11953s | of like speed past maybe Toronto and |
11955s | they'll fight back by that pay then you |
11957s | lose that ever important far and there's |
11960s | nothing you can really do there as looks |
11962s | like they're F putting a a little bit |
11964s | more pressure here onto |
11967s | crazy takes a big rocket hit there |
11969s | they've got to now attend to the cards |
11971s | go very quickly dead ey for he waits for |
11973s | them to drop down sh free gets caught |
11975s | out it was Jun actually to find the |
11976s | elimination in his cage fight a lot of |
11978s | chains getting thrown around here a v |
11980s | diagram of literal murder as he saying |
11982s | eventually opts to join the rest of his |
11984s | team big damage there from Li playing in |
11987s | his optimal range and czy raccoon get |
11989s | the second checkpoint yeah and that is |
11991s | the sound barriers end up being used |
11993s | there by both teams now this is crazy |
11995s | we're with over 330 on the clock here to |
11998s | be able to kind of get the payload down |
12000s | distance is another Toronto defiant |
12006s | M yeah well I mean when everybody's kind |
12010s | of coming down this hallway right you |
12011s | just get few directs in there a little |
12013s | bit of Splash damage you're you're back |
12015s | up at 80% all charge no time on this |
12017s | part of the map it's really hard for CID |
12019s | to have a long Seline on sugar free |
12022s | though gets caught by heang getting |
12024s | caught out by that lip damage to the |
12025s | followup for the far was good here's aun |
12028s | rush though from Rupal sh responds |
12030s | reciprocates in fact the bar was good |
12033s | the damage of course no final blows but |
12035s | more than enough to set this fight up as |
12037s | he saying get good use of that Farah |
12039s | ultimate someone brought down and we |
12041s | have so much time still for crazy |
12042s | raccoon yeah Rush is used on both sides |
12045s | there but defiant in a pretty decent |
12047s | spot here coming out of Spawn with Dead |
12049s | Eye pretty big Alleyway and also that |
12051s | rocket barrage got of Stay Alive coming |
12054s | around of the spawn someone's going to |
12055s | have to get a touch here be sugar free |
12057s | gets on to the point that's big this is |
12059s | so awkward for far to play in this open |
12061s | C to sack for getting the Mala of all |
12064s | things that's perfect good Target |
12066s | selection good priority for Toronto will |
12068s | have themselves a bit of a moment to |
12070s | regroup yeah for C uh you end up losing |
12074s | this fight one that was uh lost going |
12077s | into it in terms of how the ultimate |
12079s | economy across the board uh but you |
12081s | still have to be pretty happy about your |
12083s | progress right you know a minute 30 off |
12085s | the clock you're putting yourself in the |
12086s | spot where the card is in a uh just one |
12089s | fight and it goes in your favor and you |
12091s | actually get a map completion on |
12092s | Hollywood which can be very difficult to |
12095s | do get 2 minutes left two dead eyes |
12099s | up mer going to be knocked out into the |
12101s | open there by he saying yeah tricky for |
12103s | fire to find the shots here L hoping for |
12106s | just a c of Vega mer trying to do much |
12108s | the same thing hoping for he sank to pop |
12110s | up neither happen both teams still a |
12113s | fire players a full cohor but he has to |
12115s | drop down expose himself again to that |
12116s | cast Le damage and here is the sound |
12118s | barrier J hton still holding oh and it |
12121s | comes too late Shu gets picked off |
12123s | before he has a chance to make it work |
12124s | but the trade is there and someone |
12125s | arguably the bigger prize he sank blows |
12128s | jugar free to Smither in midair and CER |
12131s | raccoon should get this one home now |
12133s | only Rupal left and that'll be that |
12137s | yes the sound barrier comes through |
12139s | there from Vega they try and get |
12141s | aggressive behind it that was good five |
12143s | play sound barrier is good yeah they |
12144s | they just back up a little bit |
12146s | disengaged even though uh they end up |
12148s | losing a player uh they end up losing |
12150s | Sho before they end up dropping their |
12152s | sound barrier uh just gives that extra |
12154s | benefit to he he comes around the corner |
12156s | he's able to connect with three and |
12159s | everything is done after that |
12161s | competitive from Toronto navigating that |
12164s | second phase of the map especially well |
12165s | defensively |
12168s | but again as the C gets close they have |
12169s | to drop down and play the lad R to stop |
12172s | any back cap Force the attackers to come |
12174s | and join them which eventually crazy |
12176s | raccoon |
12179s | acquiesced and I wonder what they'll |
12181s | actually end up playing here on the |
12183s | defensive sign things right because uh |
12185s | you could potentially play like Sigma if |
12188s | you want to play Winston I think they |
12189s | probably expect if you're going to play |
12190s | the MAA the entire time on offense |
12193s | you're going to see it here uh on |
12196s | defense uh on the offensive side so |
12198s | you're going to have crazy Ron coming |
12199s | out with the ma here H things |
12204s | off |
12207s | defensively to a crazy racun have of |
12209s | course we'll flip that for you just the |
12211s | moment is Toronto def find are the |
12212s | attackers this |
12214s | round so much far so much far on maps |
12217s | that we just don't expect to see her |
12220s | on she is very |
12223s | powerful both teams with the KIRO setups |
12225s | now so far Noto too much of an issue a |
12228s | little pick there for sugar free before |
12230s | the switch to the bar |
12231s | himself uh we again remember the last |
12235s | OverWatch tournament we've seen this |
12237s | much far no I mean it is like ages could |
12241s | it have been like the the triple DPS |
12244s | record yeah uh yeah it was like 2019 |
12247s | yeah it was like Shanghai used a a |
12249s | combination to kind of counter ghost |
12251s | that's right where uh they played like |
12254s | wrecking ball far Sombra I would almost |
12257s | even say like a |
12260s | Widowmaker possibly but uh this is a |
12264s | pretty fast fight here goes in favor of |
12266s | crazy but yeah it's been really |
12267s | difficult for car to kind of find her |
12269s | spot even the meta for a very long time |
12271s | and I know with some of the the recent |
12273s | changes know to the game overall more |
12275s | manuverability for her more yeah she's |
12278s | like more active in like not in the air |
12281s | as long but more in the air yeah and |
12283s | that can be you remediated with life |
12285s | Weaver platforms well we've SE a couple |
12287s | times Merit lot of poke damage here this |
12290s | choke is so deadly for the attackers to |
12291s | make their way through it pruna forcing |
12294s | too def find to sort of hang around |
12296s | there setting up he tank for Success |
12299s | yeah he gets the vantage point to know |
12301s | exactly where players are split off they |
12303s | say you get the kill on aipia early on |
12304s | that's big I think they're him with a M |
12306s | grenade but he wants to try and get in |
12307s | there now someone couldn't quite get |
12309s | away from the last couple of rockets |
12310s | that CAU him sugarfree here now has a |
12314s | strong position denied him has to play |
12316s | in this wide expanse which is definitely |
12318s | not where Farah shines Pon say that's |
12320s | fine we got what we wanted they did use |
12323s | sound barrier in order to enact that |
12324s | push after losing lip yes because they |
12326s | end up losing lip they're trying to |
12327s | protect he saying while he's using |
12329s | rocket barrage they do end up investing |
12331s | the beat there |
12333s | so you did win that fight but did you |
12335s | ultimately give up the next one oh W |
12338s | okay fair enough Su have to be used |
12340s | there I think keep sugar free standing |
12341s | for the point blank barrage claims jum |
12343s | Dead Eye though on the KIRO now not a up |
12347s | a little sugarfree brought down as CRA |
12349s | raccoon moved back inside the cafe |
12350s | they'll ConEd a little bit of Capt of |
12352s | progress but Li's got another one at |
12354s | three in the fight for the Cassidy again |
12356s | go conversation is's well and truly part |
12358s | of it Chong Stills one away for would |
12360s | have been a big one for Cassidy still |
12362s | vager is nowhere to go they're allowing |
12364s | this to drag out a little |
12366s | longer uh I mean that must be so nice |
12370s | hey we lose our tank you know junin runs |
12372s | face first into a rocket barrage uh they |
12375s | dro the K Rush across The Point Loop |
12377s | steps onto it just takes out three and |
12380s | here we go where now just a minute and |
12382s | 20 on the clock you don't get a tick out |
12384s | of that either because they're kind of |
12385s | contesting the entire time and even |
12387s | pushing past the point you don't get any |
12389s | progress Rush dead ey available here |
12391s | likely to be used in concept but mer |
12393s | takes a kit as he comes through the |
12394s | choke so needs to be careful still this |
12396s | gets thr over p on the point and sugar |
12398s | is able to take his sank down in the |
12400s | duel that's massive cage fight for junin |
12402s | doesn't feel great here at all but he |
12403s | needs to get onto the point cardiac |
12405s | overdrive but look at that health bar |
12407s | crumble junin can't hang event you get |
12409s | picked off Toronto should have this |
12411s | checkpoint now easily enough yeah he can |
12414s | wi too many fights to the player down |
12416s | you're a crazy recruit you end up having |
12418s | a few fights where you lose a player |
12421s | first but you're still able to pull the |
12422s | fight out in your favor that time it is |
12425s | not the case as the aggression comes on |
12427s | through |
12429s | and playing |
12431s | from you know they say about walking |
12433s | under a ladder he |
12435s | say bad luck okay |
12439s | yeah he is on that flank looking for a |
12442s | big barrage that'll pop up behind he got |
12444s | caught in the cage fight though and |
12445s | that's a very durable Target that he |
12446s | chose yes he does get the malga in fact |
12450s | both fars find a pick with those bares |
12453s | lip thingss better are peeking out he |
12454s | knew he had enough damage on Merit that |
12456s | the M grenade would ultimately claim his |
12457s | opposite |
12458s | number and very quickly crazy raccoon |
12461s | put them back in the drive seat you got |
12463s | to watch out rol nasty clean movement |
12466s | there from uh RuPaul able to D some |
12468s | shots there we'll see uh J com out on |
12472s | this PO doomfist here so Doom obviously |
12476s | has great ax High Ground they want to |
12478s | kill over and over |
12481s | again if you're them and you're like hey |
12483s | we did get rid of Merit we're in a good |
12485s | spot mer just threw the M grenade J be |
12488s | now can |
12490s | die power block used up though so back |
12492s | to The High Ground for the time |
12493s | being where do we go big punch going to |
12498s | catch fer who's low close to a sound |
12499s | barrier to R picked off great job by |
12502s | junin takes the attention away from the |
12503s | fire and he gets to sneak in and he's |
12506s | finding all the kills oh |
12509s | buddy oh midair |
12512s | shot okay this guy is on one some sick |
12516s | shots there from T saying is they were |
12519s | they were using the M up on the high |
12520s | ground before I don't know if you caught |
12522s | it but with the rocket barrage kind of |
12523s | came through they end up using the MAA |
12525s | slam they into you can kind of obviously |
12529s | get some really nice plays to do this |
12531s | right you know not play yourself stun |
12532s | for a second into plays with the for in |
12536s | the cast second's all you need really |
12538s | barrage and someone now goes over to |
12540s | Winston right so this is just another |
12542s | it's kind of what we seen the entire |
12543s | tournament just like a a rotating you |
12546s | know cycle of Tanks counter each other |
12548s | or we're dealing with you know two teams |
12550s | with tank players are very deep |
12552s | pools Li in a comfortable spot though |
12555s | tough to challenge him and Dead Eye |
12557s | interrupted by mer got stunned up by |
12559s | think the punch came in from |
12561s | jnit still missing CH go crazy raccoon |
12564s | they able to trade it back as vager |
12565s | Falls T went down with beat but so did |
12567s | vager Ne team suffering as a result of |
12570s | that someone low yeah J beautiful |
12573s | punches him as a cap caught inside the |
12574s | room and I don't think there's anywhere |
12576s | for sugar free to really go here J still |
12579s | respects the damage though backed down |
12580s | Rupal very low and a Beat Now gets used |
12582s | CRA racuna more than happy to throw this |
12584s | into the mix as well one after another |
12587s | Li lands these shots it's V to fall and |
12589s | Li can head up to The High Ground now |
12591s | play a bit more aggressively Dead's |
12592s | going to be there Jing into the backline |
12594s | here see someone try and Escape he SKS |
12596s | away with the rest of the trony to find |
12597s | their down to 16 seconds left in the |
12599s | round the dead eyee going to make more |
12601s | space up to the tower goes Mer but he's |
12603s | an easy target as he drops down and Li |
12605s | finishes the job but jumin's missing |
12607s | sugar free eventually gets traded out |
12609s | after he goes in and finds the doomfist |
12610s | but Li Falls to someone they're up close |
12612s | it's messy it's feisty but ton have a |
12615s | player on the card they're moving it now |
12617s | crazy raccoon have to address the vager |
12618s | issue the rest of Toronto running trying |
12621s | to get as fast as they can to help out |
12622s | this lone Lucio but it might not be |
12624s | enough time they're too far away |
12626s | sugarfree blinks onto the cart instant |
12628s | recall Tron still have three or four |
12630s | players now to work with and here comes |
12631s | the Winston but they're just pulling up |
12634s | short and that really could be said of |
12637s | the whole series for the Toronto |
12639s | Defiance as crazy raccoon run away with |
12642s | yet another map to send them to the |
12644s | lower bracket getting your for Toronto |
12646s | defiant right we talk about how uh |
12648s | versatile this team is they can do all |
12650s | these different things when you looked |
12652s | across czy look like the more verstile |
12655s | thing right the team they can play so |
12656s | many different competitions obviously at |
12658s | an extremely high level rotating |
12660s | different tanks into the mix Le was |
12663s | tremendous on the hit scan all series |
12665s | long and I think heang definitely got |
12667s | the better of the far look it's the most |
12669s | promising Prospect out of Na getting |
12671s | three OED and Hollywood not remotely |
12675s | close enough |
12676s | not remotely close enough crazy raccoon |
12680s | are indomitable they look |
12683s | unbeatable maybe the only team that can |
12685s | pressure them comes from their own |
12687s | region as I'm sure that Falcons match up |
12689s | would be an exciting one but for now |
12692s | it's back to the drawing board for Na's |
12695s | best and brightest TR defiant are Feld |
12698s | in straight Maps yeah I mean the uh the |
12700s | Falcons crazy recruit match that'll be |
12702s | tremendous see those teams square off |
12705s | yet again and then I know as we move |
12707s | forward down with the loser bracket |
12708s | right like what happens to Toronto after |
12711s | a really difficult loss like this right |
12712s | trying to bounce back uh SSG we saw |
12715s | earlier today they end up falling you |
12717s | know 3 0 at the hands of Falcons but uh |
12720s | I think you know SSG has a really |
12722s | different play style I think it'll give |
12723s | a lot of Team some trouble I even gave |
12725s | you know Falcon some trouble at times uh |
12728s | it'll be to a most interested like who |
12731s | is going to end up like being the third |
12733s | team in the mix right like you know |
12735s | who's going who's going to come out of |
12737s | that loser bracket and you know get |
12740s | another cracket one of these teams I I |
12742s | think that'll be the real interesting |
12744s | yeah and a couple of interesting tidbits |
12745s | like you know an proper thinking an are |
12748s | better than SSG right which is a pretty |
12750s | big statement to make but for now we're |
12751s | going to hear from the victors |
12752s | themselves as hit down to the stage with |
12754s | Denny and |
12755s | junin Mitch thank you so much yep I am |
12757s | here with junin who is also the Porsche |
12759s | performance of the match player so |
12761s | everybody give a round of applause for |
12764s | jumin fantastic job today I mean 3-0 you |
12767s | guys are looking scary as ever junin uh |
12770s | how did crazy raccoons prepare for this |
12772s | match against Toronto the |
12779s | [Music] |
12791s | fance uh definitely there was some |
12793s | planning involved because we knew that |
12795s | going into the match uh you know Toronto |
12797s | and fin are definitely one of the best |
12798s | uh teams in the na region so there were |
12800s | some preparations and I think really |
12802s | preparing for this match really paid off |
12804s | uh in a big way now um I have to ask I |
12807s | feel like crazy raccoons are definitely |
12809s | one of the strongest teams that we are |
12810s | seeing in Dallas currently so in your |
12813s | eyes what makes your team so good so |
12816s | strong and so scary |
12828s | you we're just that |
12830s | good simple as it everybody give it up |
12832s | for Shing one more time thank you so |
12834s | much soe back to you jumping on stage of |
12837s | spinning facts with Danny they are just |
12839s | that good and a part of that is of |
12841s | course the meta they have such a good |
12843s | understanding him on that Mara he just |
12845s | looks so very clean in the execution |
12848s | they are dictating the tempo and it's |
12850s | been really really hard for any other |
12852s | team to keep up with it yeah I think |
12854s | junin is really the tip of the the spear |
12856s | on the magom and I think he's really |
12858s | evincing a really critical fact about |
12860s | this hero and the play style that you |
12861s | need to succeed with it you can't play |
12863s | slow I think that Hollywood first point |
12865s | defense was a beautiful example even |
12867s | though you're defending one of the |
12869s | better sort of Fortress points in the |
12871s | game still junin with any kind of HP |
12873s | lead on the enemy malga charging in |
12875s | forcing the aggression pushing into the |
12877s | enemy spawn that's not just disrespect I |
12879s | think for me that's actually the way you |
12881s | want to play this comp you always want |
12883s | to be initiating aggressively even on |
12885s | defense and so you know showing the |
12887s | advantage of preparation on the comp |
12889s | style that really came from crazy |
12891s | raccoon from Falcons these are the teams |
12893s | that have been showing in and looking |
12894s | the best on it and for me Johnny I this |
12897s | this comp decides the tournament I I |
12898s | don't think there's a counter I mean |
12899s | Johnny I know look I you Tred to speak |
12902s | the Winston into existence saw like a |
12903s | minute to Winston I was about to say we |
12905s | saw did it work out no I didn't say it |
12908s | would work out I just said that is a |
12909s | very good point yeah and that low is |
12912s | going to pop off righte I agree with |
12914s | Jake and we've kind of been talking |
12915s | about this on the day the Des for the |
12917s | past couple of days that like the game |
12919s | kind of revolves around the MAA |
12921s | composition and then it's like okay well |
12923s | what do you want to do against it so for |
12925s | example right the sigma composition that |
12928s | could be an answer if you don't feel up |
12929s | to the braw and we've see ends try to |
12931s | pull it off right and also seeing SG try |
12933s | to pull it off the problem is that like |
12935s | it's so hard to deal with the tempo like |
12937s | you mentioned Jake when you have a Mout |
12939s | that's perfectly prisions has the |
12941s | perfect overruns onto the back line onto |
12943s | the casan ba right so you kind of have |
12946s | to match this MAA I feel like SSG I |
12948s | mentioned it in the last match as well |
12950s | you know maybe they can figure out some |
12951s | variation of the symmetra but otherwise |
12954s | right now it's without a doubt C raccoon |
12957s | Falcons they are the top two of the |
12959s | tournament All My Hope has been |
12961s | vanquished the hope is gone soe like I'm |
12963s | I've just given up I'm sorry like I |
12965s | can't do it days I can't can't do it |
12967s | anymore I really tried the narrative was |
12970s | out there the players were like oh we're |
12972s | going to we have a chance we have a |
12974s | chance I I believe I wanted to believe |
12976s | Zoe but Jake was right all along I'm no |
12979s | stranger to cross streams Johnny this is |
12981s | the reality it's about raw strength you |
12983s | need raw talent I mean there's so much |
12985s | pressure at this level of the game I |
12987s | mean what's being asked to these DPS |
12989s | players is something that I think to a |
12991s | level we've never seen before in |
12993s | OverWatch where you have to play |
12994s | everything you have to be one of the |
12996s | best hit scan players in the world you |
12998s | also have to be one of the best Genji |
12999s | you got to be one of the best tracers |
13001s | one of the best Echo we've been building |
13002s | towards this for a long time and now |
13003s | it's like final here where a hyper Flex |
13005s | is required yeah and and I think that is |
13007s | I think this time was always coming in |
13009s | OverWatch I think especially you see on |
13011s | this on the Fleck support role right now |
13012s | you seen a lot of KIRO in this series |
13014s | but from Fielder we've seen a ton of |
13016s | Anna we've seen a ton of batist from the |
13018s | different counters different maps that |
13019s | come out a different response is |
13020s | required and the incredible flexibility |
13022s | on these top teams in Crazy raccoon and |
13024s | Falcons I mean I think that's what's |
13026s | really going to be put to the test the |
13027s | team play the flexibility the individual |
13029s | mechanics at this point they are given |
13032s | these these players are best in class |
13033s | and yeah what a what a beautiful display |
13036s | of this flexibility on our very stage |
13038s | with what we just saw from CRA raccoon |
13040s | they manag to stay alive of course in |
13043s | the upper bracket where they will be |
13044s | facing off against team Falcons now |
13046s | those are two teams who have both shown |
13048s | us those Mar compositions different |
13050s | looks of it though and that's something |
13052s | we touched on I'm very excited to set |
13054s | this match up but we have to wait until |
13056s | tomorrow because we will of course now |
13059s | moving on to the lower bracket first |
13061s | where we uh have teams which are |
13063s | fighting for survival maybe one of them |
13066s | will manage to claw their way back into |
13068s | that upper bracket but I think it's fair |
13070s | to say that team Falcons and crazy Ron |
13072s | those were the two teams most people |
13074s | would have expected to see up there I |
13076s | mean I don't even know who like takes |
13077s | them on like if you had to pick like a |
13079s | lower bracket team to like even contest |
13081s | like I feel like it's even like we |
13083s | shouldn't even like be considering right |
13084s | that now right now it's like who is the |
13086s | better team is it Falcons or CCE raccoon |
13088s | who is in pole position to actually win |
13090s | this entire tournament because so far |
13092s | Falcons of course they've shown their |
13093s | like Genji Venture brawl variant right |
13096s | whereas maybe CR raccoon they can play |
13098s | more lip on Tracer for example I don't |
13100s | think they'll match that Genji Tracer |
13101s | right so um it'll be interesting to see |
13103s | how these two teams actually play each |
13105s | other in a matchup yeah and I think |
13108s | honestly in your in the lower bracket |
13109s | right now you're scrapping for one more |
13111s | chance I do still think Toronto f are |
13113s | actually the team that's going to come |
13114s | out of the lower bracket I still believe |
13116s | him I think they played Crazy raccoon |
13118s | the closest of anyone we've seen I mean |
13120s | I think circuit maybe a weak offense due |
13122s | to some unconventional picks but I think |
13124s | that was honestly their map to lose with |
13125s | with how incredibly well they played on |
13127s | was winable for both SSG and Toronto |
13129s | yeah and and honestly even Hollywood I |
13131s | think that went strongly in the favor of |
13132s | crazy raccoon but nonetheless I think |
13134s | Toronto the f is the team I can see |
13136s | actually matching the Maga comp in terms |
13138s | of having the actual skill the |
13140s | flexibility to take that match I mean |
13142s | even Vega pulled up with a ton of kills |
13144s | on Hollywood I I mean I I was noticing |
13145s | in a lot of these team fights they might |
13147s | be going the way of crazy raccoon but |
13148s | Vega's finding impact finding kills and |
13151s | that's the confidence you need to take a |
13152s | tough Ajax on the second map and still |
13155s | come out swinging playing aggressive not |
13157s | back down I think that's exactly what I |
13158s | want to see from my main support player |
13160s | in a meta like this where with the Maga |
13162s | you can't be scared the moment you start |
13164s | falling back retreating trying to |
13166s | recover it's not going to happen you're |
13168s | going to get run down and finished off |
13170s | and so you've got to be aggressive You' |
13171s | got to be taking initiative Toronto's |
13173s | the team I can see actually doing that |
13175s | and and potentially putting up a better |
13177s | fight if they can survive that lower I |
13178s | mean they are the only team we've seen |
13180s | thus far in this tournament who are not |
13182s | afraid to take that Mara mirror they're |
13184s | not trying to be cute they're not trying |
13185s | you just bring too much of their own |
13187s | flavor they have a lot of flexibility |
13189s | but they were not worried against uh |
13191s | crazy raccoons to take them in a two |
13193s | that mirror so I'm very interested to |
13195s | see what they can get done in the lower |
13197s | bracket where they will be facing off |
13199s | against ends next I believe for now |
13201s | we're heading into a quick break and uh |
13203s | after that we're back with a special |
13205s | treat for everyone so please stick |
13207s | around you don't want to miss it |

14981s | of Heroes that's sort of you know robot |
14984s | enough to support sort of banning some |
14985s | of them out we might be there I think |
14987s | this is a really interesting little |
14988s | variation I thought after the ban that |
14991s | Dante was just going to Forfeit his band |
14993s | he's like you know we're we're all right |

15687s | sweet worth well worth checking |
15692s | out we going into our last round here |
15695s | control |
15695s | center some |
15698s | discussion Dante asking for the Jun |
15700s | mirror Jake's going to give it to him |
15702s | he's going to give it to him |
15705s | this was like a a jake sponsored show |
15707s | match we'd be like on Horizon lunar |
15709s | colony in the rter 6v6 |
15713s | junkrat nice opening from j3 y pretty |
15716s | huge getting the other team Mo out of |
15718s | the way pressure though coming on down |
15720s | Jake gets cled by eong in Nemesis form |
15723s | eong really coming alive with that Deepa |
15725s | in the later half of |
15727s | G this turn into a blowout here j3 start |
15731s | to make it happen is now good okay and |
15735s | Ryan flanked I think he make enough |
15736s | noise to wait the dead now |
15738s | charge well it was worth a try Johnny |
15742s | see you |
15743s | later yeah uh you know reinforc I mean |
15746s | that's kind of what he's known for |
15747s | mostly right the uh charge no one |
15750s | throwing Z to actually get value from |
15752s | that yeah way too deep there for Johnny |
15756s | O okay maybe some flashbacks for |
15759s | reinforce about the Swedish World Cup |
15761s | team here you know really impacting his |
15763s | on stage oh |
15765s | man J's get a littley like that oh he |
15769s | popping up holy that's my |
15772s | streamer in start available J pops it |
15776s | immediately some chip damage being dealt |
15778s | by team hydron here but without Jake now |
15780s | who's lost again to the Dante junk will |
15783s | he switch how much does he care about |
15786s | winning I think Jake cares an |
15789s | unreasonable amount about this game |
15791s | there's no way he's losing there's going |
15793s | to be some switches here I |
15795s | think I love how you bring that up |
15799s | specifically here is good burst that's |
15801s | nothing she could do about that one |
15802s | anyway would have been a problem rip |
15804s | Tire removed I think Jake might have |
15805s | sent that in from Spawn but he to now |
15807s | get more directly involved in the fight |
15809s | he's flanking I |
15810s | think no now rejoining the rest team |
15813s | Hydra a little bit little bit slow a |
15815s | great first map but now they're starting |
15816s | to get shut |
15817s | down infite popped here for hydron needs |
15820s | to find some purchase on this Widow Aral |
15822s | able to get away |
15823s | rip Tire will linguish here in the |
15825s | center area for most of this 10 seconds |
15827s | now it'll be spotted through the window |
15828s | it's a long journey there yeah goes |
15831s | Coast to Coast with that one but doesn't |
15833s | find a connection Dante down H look not |
15837s | a widow map generally not always favored |
15840s | a to |
15842s | find huge here as well team Dante going |
15845s | to run away with this one mat it's right |
15848s | up in hyon's Grill as looks like maybe |
15851s | there's one player here as a |
15854s | SK how about them apples |
15857s | okay A little one-sided in the end yeah |
15861s | little a bit of a surprise here is uh |
15863s | how do we put Jake and reinforce on the |
15866s | same team and they get clapped in the M |
15868s | PR like that I mean that is a that is a |
15872s | brutal way to go out there rolled and |
15874s | smoked so you can see that uh Jake and |
15877s | he's just absolutely stunned there on |
15880s | the stage so I I imagine there's going |
15883s | to be a lot of trash hard that comes out |
15884s | of this one yeah just quietly that j3 |
15886s | Widow really started to get |
15888s | online also like we talk about you know |
15890s | people who definitely want to get the D |
15892s | like eong is that kind of guy who will |
15893s | be like hey let's lock in Let's Get |
15895s | Serious was great on on Market I mean EJ |
15899s | play a high L play like professionally |
15901s | cast right ages go right so it's not |
15904s | like they're just a stream yeah have you |
15906s | wondered why overwat is you know how |
15908s | they're doing over in the face El Elite |
15910s | feel their representatives here on stage |
15913s | AAL gets a DB is that ail's first throw |
15915s | match win I think so yeah maybe |
15918s | maybe I don't think he's I don't think |
15920s | he's the player of the match though uh |
15924s | no look maybe not quite there I really I |
15927s | really thought the team hon had that |
15928s | locked up Johnny playing very |
15931s | aggressively there I thought SK she had |
15933s | a great showing that the life weever was |
15935s | really especially if you're going to be |
15936s | playing with someone like reinforce who |
15937s | is just going to be taking every risk |
15939s | and limit test way too far yeah on a |
15941s | couple of occasions I don't mind it you |
15943s | know especially if you're ahead little |
15945s | bit of bravado is fine you're in there |
15947s | yeah the the the hero band's being |
15948s | pretty interesting though right uh we |
15950s | weren't just going to staring at Mara |
15951s | staring at each other just kind of like |
15952s | looking you know also no Tracer yeah no |
15955s | Tracer as well uh I would like to see |
15956s | Venture venture has been T of fun to |
15958s | watch but I I do think that like in a |
15961s | show match maybe not you know it's it's |
15963s | hard to say like just if they're cting |
15964s | the best comp available we had junk |
15966s | mirrors we had Widow mirrors they are |
15968s | possible the hydron pop off at the start |
15971s | of gardens really looked like it was |
15972s | setting the for how the entire map would |
15974s | go but it was not to be I've got a big |
15976s | shout out as well to our Pac competitor |

16435s | watch audience was with us all the way |
16437s | through as well cheering on just good |
16439s | honest or rather dishonest OverWatch to |
16442s | which is what we love to see and of |
16444s | course some of these players they are |
16445s | competing in the fa league as well you |
16448s | are one of those um we've talked about |
16451s | your experience thus far got one up on a |
16453s | board I mean we're in the master League |
16455s | we're playing with the pro team we're |
16457s | not really supposed to be there but it's |
16459s | okay we're having fun and to be honest |
16461s | we have really strong individual players |
16462s | on our team so even if we show up on |
16464s | Match day and have no prep no strats |
16467s | sometimes we still pop off and make it |
16468s | really close against really really |
16469s | strong teams give me the download which |
16471s | teams are currently in the lead who are |
16472s | the favorites in the tournament uh I |
16474s | mean pretty much as you'd expect for |
16475s | North America Toronto defy an M80 on top |
16478s | with a bullet a few other teams TSM who |
16481s | didn't qualify here but have looked like |
16482s | a very strong team in na they're doing |
16484s | super well so kind of the The Usual |
16487s | Suspects of North America yeah and over |
16489s | in the M of course space station are |
16490s | looking really strong they actually beat |
16492s | ends just uh the past week actually the |
16494s | last couple of weeks so uh it's been a |
16496s | really close region you know some EA |
16498s | teams they have you know tried to |
16499s | compete with the likes of end for |
16501s | example um and we SE know some of those |
16502s | teams know WCS so both Na and EMA pretty |
16507s | competitive yeah uh actually some teams |
16510s | that we want to shout out mention here |
16511s | uh the Great showman from Oceania ocean |
16514s | oan I I get I get paid to talk you |
16517s | believe that sometimes and loaded of |
16519s | course from South America they nailed |
16521s | that one so that's a one point for me um |
16524s | they stand out teams currently six and0 |
16526s | in the competition so they are leading |
16528s | the chart uh both players uh of course |
16531s | they played deep runs in the O wwec last |
16534s | year and now they're fighting for their |
16535s | spot at ewc and so can you you can face |
16539s | uh sign up for the fa the league as well |
16542s | everybody's game is look after that |
16544s | competition I'm ready to compete again |
16546s | I'm here byn I'm here by announcing if |
16549s | any teams here want to pick me up DMS |
16552s | are open we need team plat chat |
16554s | everyone's been waiting join team okay |
16557s | JW is pointing at me aggressively I've |
16559s | never seen he's okay he's begging he's |
16561s | Bing okay so we're going up broadcast |
16563s | and we're thinking of a plat chat team |
16565s | so it's me and you uh can we post custa |
16568s | can we post custa from OverWatch yeah I |
16571s | mean OverWatch I think they're just |
16572s | sping or something just just suggested |
16574s | me and you just completely glanced over |
16576s | that oh oh yeah yeah yeah no me me you |
16580s | really po at Jake so I'm sorry I felt |
16583s | pointed at do you want do you want to be |
16584s | on our team no one wants if you want |
16586s | play I mean I can play I can play damage |
16589s | I want to see you on junk oh you I don't |
16592s | know if we want a reason haven't out |
16594s | that's a that's a it's a sight for sore |
16597s | eyes or whatever you say I think the |
16598s | eyes get sore after that sight maybe |
16601s | maybe it's that way around uh you know |
16603s | what I do like to watch though good |
16605s | OverWatch you know what we got plenty of |
16607s | that coming our way we have our first |
16610s | elimination match of the day uh being |
16613s | set up right there on this very stage so |
16615s | let's take a look at the bracket to see |
16617s | how we got here uh we have of course had |
16620s | a packed day one already we started off |
16623s | in the upper bracket today as well which |
16625s | led us to the following conclusion team |
16627s | Falcons and now crazy raccoon are both |
16630s | in the upper bracket final and that |
16632s | means that Toronto to fine and uh also |
16634s | space station gaming of course they're |
16636s | finding themselves in the lower bracket |
16637s | where they will be facing off against |
16639s | M80 and uh the the score from |
16643s | ends so these are our pairings in the |
16645s | lower bracket the loser is out as we're |
16648s | playing in this double elimination |
16649s | bracket and the first match we will be |
16651s | watching is enen Toronto oh actually |
16654s | madian space station there a lot of |
16657s | trash talk about the between these teams |
16659s | right this is North America versus |
16662s | Europe who's the better region yeah we |
16664s | know Korean teams in the top they look |
16667s | the strongest don't look at the upper |
16668s | bracket just look at the lower bracket |
16669s | fighting for treat it as its own |
16672s | tournament own little thing there's a |
16674s | lot of Pride on the line these players |
16675s | have talked a lot of smack about how |
16677s | each other are overrated easy |
16679s | competition and well you can talk the |
16681s | talk all day but at some point you got |
16683s | to walk the walk well let's see if they |
16685s | can get it done uh obviously none of |
16687s | those teams is lacking the star power to |
16690s | uh get it done M80 is the first team I |
16693s | want to chat about and want to take a |
16694s | look at obviously we want to see more |
16697s | from them yesterday we hope for more |
16699s | their second match that was just like a |
16702s | business thing in the very end so like |
16704s | not much to take away from the match |
16706s | against Twisted mind but the first match |
16709s | where they also of course suffered a |
16711s | loss which ended them up in this |
16713s | position what can we take away from this |
16716s | what did we learn to be honest I was |
16718s | worried about m80's backline I mean with |
16720s | the level of aggression that a team like |
16722s | crazy raccoons was putting on them they |
16724s | weren't standing up to it they weren't |
16725s | able to make that a properly competitive |
16727s | series as I think that they hoped that |
16729s | it would be and so I think this is their |
16731s | real chance to take on a team that they |
16733s | have been disrespecting I mean they've |
16735s | been calling uh space station overrated |
16738s | an easy opponent and I think space |
16740s | station to me has looked pretty scary |
16742s | right they might not be playing what's |
16744s | the most dominant meta right now but I |
16746s | don't know that M80 can really bring |
16748s | that heat on them either can you |
16749s | replicate the success of the teams from |
16751s | Asia it's not so easy it looks easy when |
16754s | Falcons and crazy raccoon play but |
16756s | that's just the skill of the players |
16757s | yeah I feel like these two two teams |
16759s | they know each other so well from scrims |
16761s | of course so they have a good idea of |
16762s | what the other team will be trying to do |
16764s | so this could even become like a you |
16766s | know like a mindset kind of thing like |
16768s | what do we think they're going to bring |
16769s | out it's not necessarily we're going to |
16770s | see MAA mirrors all the time um although |
16773s | that being said I do think that M could |
16775s | learn a lot from their matchs yesterday |
16777s | and especially what we've seen on stage |
16778s | today there is a lot of MAA being played |
16780s | that could be a really good hero for hwk |
16782s | we've seen hwk play a lot of MAA in the |
16783s | past throughout this year and honestly I |
16785s | think that Hulk has been pretty solid on |
16787s | that MAA good cardiac overdrive use |
16789s | finding ways to get ahead in these |
16791s | matchup and so I really do think that if |
16792s | M did come out here today and they want |
16794s | to commit to play MAA with Pelican on |
16796s | the far off here we're saying happy on |
16798s | the far which Jake is saying us bit |
16799s | about pocket pick like I could see this |
16801s | work out for M80 if they commit to maybe |
16803s | a bit of a different tank lineup change |
16805s | based on what we've seen so far on the |
16806s | tournament and how the Met is developing |
16808s | yeah I'd like to see M8 play Maga I |
16811s | think the happy far that's a little bit |
16812s | of a troll I don't think that's going to |
16814s | come out Pelican is is probably the far |
16816s | player this team pel's a monster on that |
16819s | hero I mean regardless uh who is playing |
16822s | what those individuals on M8 they will |
16824s | be top opponents in the way of SSG now |
16828s | that is of course A Team there is a lot |
16830s | which can be said about those plays as |
16832s | well you touched on it already in our |
16833s | pre-show today Johnny what did we |
16835s | learned thus far from the performance |
16837s | SSG has shown us here in the owcs Dallas |
16840s | major I mean it's a bit tough right |
16842s | because we've been talking a lot about |
16844s | versatility going into this Tournament |
16845s | being able to play so many different |
16847s | competitions but as the tournament |
16849s | progresses it really just consolidates |
16851s | the compositions you're able to play and |
16853s | how you're going to get the upper hand |
16855s | right and so we might not be able to see |
16857s | all these different compositions we've |
16859s | seen from SG in the past like the raat |
16860s | coming out maybe we'll see some Sigma |
16862s | come out but I feel like if you SG and |
16864s | you want to compete for the win here if |
16866s | you want to advance to the Grand finals |
16868s | I feel like you need to implement more |
16869s | MAA in your play it's a brawl St that |
16872s | suits this team how are you going to get |
16873s | it done that is the big question with |
16875s | you know three really talented damage |
16877s | players on your team you can go with |
16878s | backbone to play some more utility |
16880s | characters like the symmetra like May |
16881s | for example psycho had a really good |
16883s | showing here on ilos playing the Tracer |
16884s | of course but then also sparker you know |
16886s | he a lights out his scan player so how |
16888s | do you manage your damage players and |
16890s | maybe Implement some more Mala that |
16891s | would be my question here yeah I think |
16893s | there's a big open question for SSG do |
16896s | you take a risk gamble your tournament |
16898s | life on the ability to adapt on the Fly |
16901s | and follow this malga composition or do |
16903s | you stick with your guns what's worked |
16905s | with you time and time again even when |
16907s | the meta has been strongly opposing what |
16909s | you like to play SSV SSG has been the |
16912s | team that actually finds the wins when |
16914s | no one really believes in them and so I |
16916s | think what we see coming out on these |
16918s | first few Maps is really going to speak |
16919s | to the direction that Christopher wants |
16921s | to take this team and you know sort of |
16923s | his confidence for how far they can make |
16924s | it in the tournament and also like we |
16926s | have we've seen Christopher do that in |
16927s | the past right where in the World Cup |
16929s | for example pretty controversial that |
16930s | team UK did pursue this orisa pick right |
16932s | they said orisa is the best way for us |
16934s | to win a lot of people a lot of fans |
16936s | were like well I don't know know if I |
16937s | agree with that but that is Christopher |
16938s | applying his knowledge and saying I |
16940s | think this is our best key to success |
16942s | here we're going to play this hero and I |
16944s | think he'll do the same in this match of |
16946s | say like how are we going to win this |
16947s | tournament I'm going to have my team |
16948s | play that composition and do the best |
16950s | they can I mean if there's a team which |
16952s | can surprise us with a maybe more |
16954s | unusual look or more unusual composition |
16957s | and making it work in a meta that may |
16959s | not be that it is the team they've done |
16962s | it in the past under different names |
16964s | than now here as SSG they will probably |
16966s | try the same thing again I love to see |
16968s | them playing to their strength and we |
16970s | are now also ready to see if they are |
16973s | able to you know make this work in this |
16975s | elimination match both teams playing |
16977s | with their backs against the wall I am |
16979s | ready for this I'm pretty sure everyone |
16981s | here is as well but first let's check |
16983s | out a quick video |
17000s | oh hey guys yeah I'm uh yeah as you guys |
17004s | as you guys can see I'm very very busy |

17008s | space station gaming uh this is nothing |
17011s | I didn't steal it maybe uh but yeah it's |
17016s | uh space station gaming has a booth here |
17018s | they got some cool merch they got some |
17019s | hats um and yeah they're $25 a |
17026s | piece I don't think they're looking at |

17030s | go that hoodie though I know where that |
17033s | Booth is I need that hoodie and I need |

17041s | fire dragon and the original Dragon |
17044s | there's some profit sharing going to the |
17045s | players 50 sharing is 50/50 with players |
17049s | I heard that from the owner of SSG |
17050s | himself if you want to support if you |
17052s | want to support the space station gaming |
17053s | players you can go over there and buy |
17055s | yourself a whis bit fire hoodie and you |
17057s | can that's huge other players uh yeah no |
17060s | I mean yeah go and support them uh also |
17062s | of course on the other side we want to |
17064s | support the players from M8 as well but |
17066s | first let's listen into an interview |
17068s | that did earlier uh these days this week |
17071s | whatever M80 right here for |
17074s | you my name is jores I'm with uh M80 |
17077s | here at the Dallas major a day before |
17080s | the games kick off how are you guys |
17082s | doing how are you feeling I'm feeling |
17084s | pretty good great great you guys want to |
17086s | introduce yourselves that's probably a |
17087s | better way to start things off maybe I'm |
17089s | liar I'm I'm ultraviolet I'm Pelican I'm |
17094s | happy Pelican Hawk have some sick bird |
17097s | names if you both could choose bird |
17100s | names for your other teammates what |
17102s | would they be I don't know they they |
17103s | should choose they can choose their own |
17105s | what does lie look like bird |
17107s | wise what I look like a griffin what's a |
17110s | griffin is it like a white it's like a |
17113s | like a flying eagle like Lion thing yeah |
17117s | okay take that that's a compliment |
17119s | that's thank you I like that there's a |
17121s | lot of like talk on the streets about |
17123s | Korea being the best region coming in |
17126s | what do you guys think yeah I mean they |
17128s | definitely have the two best teams but I |
17131s | think there might be a shift in who's |
17133s | the better one coming into this major |
17135s | what would you say is the most |
17136s | fraudulent region then na na a bunch of |
17140s | frauds your your fraud |
17142s | yeah yeah okay I like that to FR too A |
17146s | lot of the regions are really topheavy |
17147s | right now I think you think he going to |
17149s | be easy pray then yeah I don't think |
17151s | Twisted minds are even playing to like |
17153s | win they're just here for a vacation and |
17156s | I think also students of the game are |
17157s | here for a vacation too with their |
17158s | Hawaiian shirts which I respect that |
17160s | look pretty sick actually they look like |
17161s | they're off |
17163s | Etsy in a good way who do you think the |
17167s | worst players are for each role coming |
17169s | into the tournament I'm not joining this |
17170s | one cuz I'm support player I'm not |
17172s | throwing okay okay you didn't have to |
17173s | say anything but just goodness the game |
17175s | okay but that whole lineup yeah you |
17178s | think they're going to get Smackdown do |
17179s | you think they'll take any maps at all |
17181s | listen I don't think it'll be close but |
17183s | I'm praying for dog fights for students |
17186s | of the game just for the content like I |
17187s | think it would be so funny PG on on |
17190s | stage with his crusty mouse pad going M |
17193s | five against SSG that would make my day |
17196s | that whole you want it to go that I |
17198s | wanted to go the distance but then but |
17199s | then but then I want them to lose and |
17202s | then they can have their they can have |
17204s | their lower bracket run they can have |
17205s | their hero story for each of you is |

17277s | Hate's fun nothing changed I I love liar |
17280s | I love Liar Liar is so much fun and the |
17283s | fact that I'm not like thinking of him |
17285s | as a griffin I'm |
17287s | like it can't I can't it can't be unseen |
17289s | it can't be unseen yeah I still no we |
17292s | discussed this yesterday okay you |
17293s | weren't on board with my golden pheasant |
17295s | we did discuss the the barn owl for a |
17297s | second there as well I think good |
17299s | competition I think this is a good |
17301s | competition but the Griff I mean he does |
17302s | have that Lion's man going on Griffin |
17303s | isn't even a real bird well that's true |
17306s | that's true just keep it factual here |
17310s | you're he's like what do you mean |
17312s | they're not real I thought Griff existed |
17314s | what are you talking about this this |
17315s | news to me well sorry I mean those guys |
17319s | though they were sparing they were not |
17320s | missing words when it comes to SSG right |
17322s | they were talking smack they were |
17323s | talking they they were talking like this |
17325s | is not going to be a competitive series |
17326s | and that for me is a bridge too far I |
17329s | mean even if M8 ends up coming away with |
17331s | this I don't see it being one-sided and |
17333s | dominant I I mean I've criticized for is |
17335s | it just content is it amping yourself up |
17339s | is it what is it it might be all of |
17341s | those things but I just as a serious |
17343s | Observer of the game I just can't watch |
17345s | SSG play and and not give them their |
17347s | respect you know like when this team has |
17349s | openings they find they find the p |
17351s | sparker lights out psycho Tracer insane |
17354s | I think for the story between Na and EMA |
17357s | is that we don't know of these two top |
17359s | teams in each region who is going to |
17361s | establish themselves as the best from |
17363s | either North America or EMA so I'm |
17365s | really looking forward to see this clash |
17366s | between M andg because I think it could |
17368s | be a really close one and it'll |
17369s | determine a lot about how we view these |
17371s | two regions well we talk to talk they |
17373s | certainly talk to talk it is time to |
17376s | walk the walk let's welcome our teams to |
17378s | the |
17379s | stage Dallas Tech |
17381s | give it up for |
17388s | M8 happy as their star started damage |
17391s | youo these guys are flexible these guys |
17394s | have experience and some of the best |
17396s | mechanics you have ever seen hul rounds |
17398s | out his team on tank one of the more |
17399s | flexible tanks we have in the game and |
17401s | obviously I mean he's played in over the |
17403s | grand finals he guys knows how to |
17405s | perform on this stage looking forward to |
17407s | see what liar and Ultra Val can do in |
17409s | the backline for this team but these |
17410s | guys are slouches they're going to bring |
17412s | the Firepower can't wait wait to see |
17414s | what they have in |
17417s | store dream mcdas give it up for space |
17422s | station |
17426s | gaming fans have known them by many |
17429s | names but they've always been favorites |
17431s | making it work Against All Odds time and |
17434s | time again they might have a unique |
17436s | flavor but it is always spicy you can |
17439s | expect this team to bring fast |
17440s | aggressive impressive Styles the type of |
17442s | OverWatch that everyone loves to see M80 |
17445s | they've talked a big game but can they |
17447s | back it up against this impressive space |
17449s | station gaming a check we're about to |
17451s | find out as we are sending this match on |
17454s | its merry way and for all the action |
17456s | we're going to hand it over to Metra and |
17458s | chck thank you very much soe mat8 versus |
17462s | Space Station gaming na versus EU it's |
17465s | time to get down here in Dallas Texas |
17468s | here at dream hack Rose this is going to |
17469s | be a spicy one we heard m in the |
17471s | interview there talking a little bit of |
17472s | smack I did a classic Esports moment |
17475s | bump into hardi in the bathroom and ask |
17476s | him how how things are going to go down |
17478s | in this match and he said clean 3 take |
17481s | that word from me wow few words just few |
17484s | words to tell something so big I mean |
17486s | the story line between EU and and a has |
17488s | always been so hardfought it feels like |
17491s | to see which region is actually going to |
17493s | end up being better word shared on both |
17495s | sides but really get a chance to put it |
17497s | into practice again as we did yesterday |
17500s | yeah I can't wait to get stuck into this |
17501s | one there's been a lot of 3's you know |
17503s | I'm ready for this one to go all the way |
17505s | here in the lower bracket and it's going |
17506s | to have to as well I mean this is an |
17508s | elimination game too so everything on |
17510s | the line for both teams if they want to |
17511s | make it to the final day very very scary |
17515s | upper half of the bracket as well rose |
17516s | with team Falcons and crazy raccoon just |
17520s | absolute dominance up there scary stuff |
17522s | but if space station M8 want to make it |
17524s | that far and faceing again maybe even in |
17526s | the finals they're going to have to win |
17527s | here first and I love what the desk was |
17529s | talking about because both of those |
17530s | teams pack a very impressive Mel |
17532s | composition so that's something that |
17534s | we're going to want to see maybe change |
17536s | a little bit as we take a look at how |
17538s | both of these teams perform against each |
17539s | other can they actually bring out that |
17540s | style of comp make it work for them and |
17543s | bring it at a level that they would be |
17544s | able to stand tall against these Korean |
17546s | teams already way to one one way to find |
17549s | out jumping on to Busan Mecha base is |
17553s | our first round mat8 in space station |
17555s | game and taking the field hard on the |
17558s | sigma we got Hawk on the ram two |
17560s | extremely different comps and happy even |
17562s | Rocking The Venture and the Venture and |
17564s | the Genji this can go in really deep |
17565s | into the space station backline you're |
17566s | going to see this Venture already try to |
17568s | get way deep in there oh that borrow is |
17570s | so deep for happy isolated hard you saw |
17573s | the rest of space station gaming backing |
17575s | off there too scared to get Knocked Up |
17576s | and insta kill by The Venture and the |
17578s | Venture was already able to just get the |
17580s | job done you're going to see M be able |
17582s | to make it to this point first but space |
17583s | station going back to spawn just to see |
17586s | if they can maybe work on something a |
17588s | little bit that might give them a bit of |
17589s | a better Advantage you psyo actually |
17591s | heading to point to try to deal with |
17593s | Pelin on this Genji yeah nice reaction |
17595s | from psycho there trying to get the |
17596s | touch stopping pel from potentially |
17598s | capping there's a little bit of trouble |
17600s | though now trading blows back and forth |
17602s | so 44 on The High Ground it'll be quick |
17604s | for Pelican to get back up there though |
17605s | with that war climb walk is taking a lot |
17607s | of damage in the front line however |
17608s | Intel just Dash in so aggressive on the |
17610s | Genji sparker Astro Brandon they've |
17613s | already all Fallen happy is so much |
17616s | Mobility on this Venture that you're |
17617s | going to be able to see it just go |
17618s | directly past that Sigma shield and |
17620s | without out there being any Lucio from |
17622s | land or funny Astro means that the |
17624s | ability to TI away from any of those |
17627s | skills is going to be very difficult so |
17629s | already M80 being able to get 30% |
17631s | capture progress they're going to have a |
17632s | rush to be able to engage this next |
17634s | fight with two and tectonic shock is |
17635s | actually up very quickly here for H H's |
17638s | been doing so much damage in the early |
17640s | stages of these fights already buring |
17641s | into the back line got the j a couple of |
17643s | seconds to get out of there if he really |
17644s | need it wh no comes through but happy |
17645s | just dashing through it tonic shock in |
17647s | the back line everybody sucing to the |
17649s | rumbling rocks Hardy taking a lot of |
17651s | damage his life just ding on the outside |
17654s | and with Hardy and Hawk dead DPS and |
17656s | supports having a little Showdown here |
17657s | in the left hand room however space |
17659s | station gaming they managed to cap they |
17661s | did they got the flip right underneath |
17662s | M's noses but M have so much else they |
17665s | get to bring to the equation when |
17666s | they've still been able to hold on to |
17668s | the rush and three other ultimates to |
17670s | spare on top of that so while span are |
17672s | trying to recuperate some of the losses |
17673s | in that last fight they get to get this |
17675s | High Ground Control see if they're able |
17677s | to meet M8 before they're able to get |
17679s | the jump on them yeah they were |
17681s | definitely expecting a little bit more |
17682s | there in terms of capture percentage |
17684s | Rush available from ultra violet however |
17686s | that rally is going to be tough to chew |
17688s | through all El being thrown in at this |
17690s | one just m8- D to survive they dropped |
17692s | down the cage a p bomb landed a little |
17694s | bit wide there but here comes the blade |
17696s | everybody locked him place as Pelican |
17698s | turning him to Swiss cheese the spark |
17701s | CER Hardy they're all dead it's only now |
17704s | Landing trying to stall out for some |
17706s | additional percent there on the points |
17707s | but M8 finally find that flip around |
17710s | almost the same percent perc asro is |
17712s | actually going to switch off of the |
17714s | after using that rally to go over to |
17715s | Lucio gets them into these fights a |
17717s | little bit faster but it was always |
17719s | going to be so difficult to deal with |
17720s | something like that MGA cage plus some |
17722s | BPS ultimate with the blade coming out |
17724s | there from pel but we're sort of back to |
17726s | ground zero here except for the fact |
17727s | that happy still has all of these |
17729s | engagement tools happy so much work on |
17732s | this venger being incredibly aggressive |
17734s | space station no rose they up cing again |
17737s | just going from underneath their noses |
17740s | giving up a little bit of that progress |
17741s | too on the flank but needs to help the |
17743s | rest of his team pelic already killed |
17744s | two Lon finds one this when have you |
17747s | ever seen a team fight down here I mean |
17749s | space station because they managed to |
17750s | cap there they're denying M8 so much |
17753s | percent denying a lot but this is always |
17755s | going to be what we're going to expect |
17757s | out of these two teams a dog fight has |
17759s | been tried to tussle over this point but |
17761s | with a clean up there onto sparker and |
17762s | get firm control back but for how long |
17765s | you can see Hottie already trying to go |
17767s | up through the bottom of this point to |
17769s | sneak it back |
17771s | flip coming through for space station in |
17773s | a couple of seconds but Landon already F |
17775s | forc the hawk all people psycho forc a |
17777s | recall as pel was checking him that |
17778s | entire time's coming up here final fight |
17781s | too they can find this kill on maybe |
17783s | even a stagger one it'll be great but F |
17785s | Astro and sparker are there however they |
17786s | want to press the issue rush comes in |
17788s | and hulkk jumps to the back line pops |
17790s | the cardiac overdrive to keep his team |
17791s | healthy a rally comes in for funny Aston |
17793s | and multim man stunt will send mat8 |
17795s | reeling back to the points ignoring the |
17798s | rush pretty much as it fades away mat8 |
17800s | finding himself in OT for space station |
17802s | gaming they can come back here they got |
17804s | a lot of up to with as well in this next |
17806s | fight they do and asra going back over |
17808s | to the bito was so nice because he's |
17809s | been playing so reactively with all |
17811s | those Shield bashes to help just make |
17813s | sure that Landon the back Line's going |
17815s | to stay alive in the face of Happy's |
17817s | Venture but it's going to be a blood |
17819s | bath here as we take a look at the |
17820s | ultimates on board for both sides even |
17822s | though space station have3 liar sound |
17824s | barrier is going to be so important here |
17826s | for M80 well here comes the flux the |
17828s | perfect reactionary ultimate there from |
17830s | fire High Noon coming through pelan |
17832s | trying to kill sparker but he just can't |
17834s | do it that damage reduction from that |
17836s | high noon and funny Astro pocketing |
17838s | sparker to high in heaven I mean there's |
17840s | nothing that can actually take him down |
17842s | happy trying to get on top of him with |
17844s | the burrow hit with a MAG n and sparker |
17846s | refuses to Die the support is insane but |
17849s | finally liar slays funny Astro and |
17851s | there's no support for sparker any |
17852s | longer happy jumps into the bur now was |
17855s | 99% for space station gaming will end up |
17858s | flipping over to M8 I think they got too |
17860s | much gas left in their tank and that'll |
17862s | be M80 play me the first |
17865s | round super back and forth though super |
17868s | super back and forth SC 99 to 100% And |
17872s | at space station just being able to kind |
17875s | of chip away at some of that capture |
17877s | progress made it so that these fights |
17879s | even though they were fast there could |
17880s | be a lot of them especially when you're |
17883s | able to take some of these One V ones |
17884s | you sort of limit some of the |
17886s | opportunity that this Venture can |
17889s | have just just was in the stage camps as |
17891s | well |
17892s | liar talking a whole bunch during this |
17895s | small bit of down time right now to |
17896s | making sure his team are on the same |
17897s | page one more round they'll take the |
17899s | first map and set themselves up kind of |
17902s | demolish hard's prediction there a |
17905s | 3 but this this is where things get |
17908s | really interesting here for M80 on this |
17910s | round of usan Pelican is able to play |
17912s | this far a hero that he is so good with |
17916s | and when we've already seen the Korean |
17917s | teams try out the malga plus the farom |
17920s | makes it looks so good and so you'll see |
17922s | a lot of high burst damage come out from |
17924s | this far a really great way to just kind |
17926s | of body with the MAA oh psycho ends up |
17929s | falling down and normally you expect an |
17931s | echo to be kind of a counter to a far |
17933s | but it's so hard to take the far down |
17935s | like you were mentioning because of that |
17936s | malga cardiac overdrive as soon as you |
17939s | pop that the far who has incredibly high |
17941s | like impact damage with a single rocket |
17943s | you're healing so quickly yeah and even |
17946s | though you have sparker to help boost up |
17948s | some of that damage coming out from |
17949s | psycho Echo those shots can only do so |
17952s | much to be able to chew through all of |
17953s | that life steal but space station they |
17955s | walk away with an amplification Matrix |
17957s | from that first fight they might not |
17958s | have the Point Flip right now but if |
17960s | they can push towards this point that |
17962s | ant Matrix might be able to help |
17964s | but he into the tree expected to roll |
17967s | down the hill there and join the rest of |
17968s | his team on the point now mat8 trying to |
17970s | find a little summit summit here but |
17972s | with Pelican Deads I mean they're just |
17973s | holding on at this point life does kill |
17975s | funny Astro but I'm not sure that's |
17977s | going to mean all too much especially |
17978s | with your DPS dead that FL was so good |
17980s | for Spar being able to get that one shot |
17982s | that's what this Cassidy is going to be |
17984s | able to be powerful for if you're able |
17986s | to get the flank you get a really |
17988s | important unit down then it's going to |
17990s | give you a big advantage in these fights |
17992s | Landon also didn't have to use the |
17993s | amplification Matrix there so you still |
17995s | have that for this next fight and you |
17996s | also Force Pelican off of this far it's |
17999s | going to be going over to the Tracer to |
18000s | see if that can have any more impact |
18002s | there on the back line yeah re-engaging |
18004s | the far is a lot harder than just kind |
18005s | of holding the position on the point or |
18008s | near the point |
18010s | trying to distract someone from space |
18012s | station right now try and push them |
18014s | towards that point here comes the window |
18016s | in response to the rush and the rest of |
18018s | the gang is just hiding behind it now |
18019s | and actually a magnate finishes off H |
18021s | who was on the point so hard to fight on |
18024s | the rush he don't instantly find a way |
18025s | through it there's almost no chance you |
18027s | to actually get any purchase in the |
18029s | fight Li goes for a sound B however but |
18031s | this is going to be hard instantly |
18033s | popping the flux and just going to set |
18034s | sparker up perfectly with kills M8 do |
18037s | find the flip somehow in the middle of |
18039s | this engagement however sparker is still |
18042s | not |
18043s | dead yeah when he's just up he's going |
18046s | to be able to have that deadly pressure |
18048s | as this Cassidy it's just going to be |
18050s | Hawk left he Landing down with him but |
18052s | it's still going to be a big flip funny |
18054s | as though forced to use the rally in |
18056s | that last fight is a really big tool now |
18057s | off the table for space station heading |
18059s | into the next one especially when you're |
18061s | up against a cage now you don't have |
18063s | that same type of sustain that you might |
18065s | have had with that ultimate available so |
18067s | this cage from off alongside maybe even |
18069s | a pul stop from |
18071s | going to be a very difficult combination |
18072s | for Space Station to survive through |
18074s | unless psycho decides to throw the |
18076s | duplicate at this and maybe get a cage |
18077s | himself oh cage comes out High Noon is |
18080s | stuck sparker dead in the back line left |
18082s | alone because everybody's trapped in the |
18083s | cage supports couldn't get the angle to |
18085s | heal him cuz there's a big giant Shield |
18087s | wall in front of him Pelican finds one |
18089s | two and three kills for M8 psycho not |
18092s | quite able to get there with the echo |
18094s | still able to take a couple of picks and |
18097s | space station walk away but 91% so far |
18099s | work not quite done yet but still enough |
18102s | to be able to try to tie the score in |
18104s | this map Hawk though going to make a big |
18106s | adjustment going to go over to the ratra |
18108s | so a little bit more brawl action coming |
18110s | out here from M80 just to be able to |
18111s | push prce Sigma Shield but hot's going |
18113s | to have yet another flux to work with |
18116s | Astro though going to make it switch |
18117s | over to the Lucio so big rush for Rush |
18119s | heading into this next fight yeah you |
18121s | almost have to play the Lucio there |
18122s | right to try and disengage from their |
18124s | engage with the ram we see how they want |
18126s | to push this one though and M8 know they |
18128s | can kind of play up here because uh well |
18130s | the sigma as soon as he drops you just |
18131s | kind of walk at them or walk at the back |
18133s | line I mean Space Station's big key to |
18136s | success have been sparker trying to find |
18138s | an off angle but it's so hard to do on |
18139s | this map yeah but you have the |
18140s | amplification Matrix at the very least |
18142s | to help you with that Sigma Shield if |
18143s | you can but here's the dueling there it |
18145s | is perfectly called Rose is a window be |
18147s | window and UltraViolet and happy win |
18149s | that one out they actually end up |
18150s | trading though as happy ends off falling |
18152s | both windows staring at each other no |
18153s | one using it to get some additional |
18155s | damage thrown in a little bit too scared |
18156s | to peek the other DPS But Here Comes OT |
18158s | M8 in the driving seat and this is where |
18160s | it's going to get so tough for space |
18162s | station because you have that block but |
18163s | liar is going to have the sound barrier |
18164s | if you're not careful that is going to |
18166s | be the perfect counter to that ultimate |
18168s | plus you've got the Dead Eye and the |
18169s | pulse bomb on top of that and where can |
18171s | space station come from to actually |
18172s | fight with five there the touch Li with |
18175s | an early beats flux hits but that over |
18178s | health is going to just absorb all of |
18180s | that damage and they've already found |
18181s | the kill oner spark as psycho also falls |
18184s | this is exactly what happened in the |
18185s | first round row M80 with 99% only have |
18189s | to deal with the Lucio on point now |
18191s | Landon funny Astro they're already gone |
18193s | is |
18195s | m8020 on |
18199s | Busan that is a very competitive map |
18202s | though very competitive and very close |
18204s | between these two teams but M80 they |
18207s | play so patiently they wait for those |
18209s | Prime opportunities not afraid to let go |
18211s | of the point if they know that they're |
18213s | going to be able to get some type of |
18214s | strategic map Advantage by fighting on |
18217s | their own terms exactly that and way |
18221s | prediction kind of fou now a little bit |
18224s | you know no 3 maybe a 3-1 control can |
18227s | still happen yeah it can still happen |
18229s | control a rather tough game mode |
18230s | especially when you have to keep going |
18231s | for these big switches and that Venture |
18233s | play from happy to start mat off was |
18235s | just Sublime and it's tough because I |
18237s | think as space station gaming you're |
18239s | going to have to expect that that's |
18240s | going to continue to come at you it's so |
18242s | good at being able to access the |
18244s | backline and Landon loves to play that |
18245s | Baptist so how do you support that and |
18248s | make sure that that Baptist isn't going |
18249s | to be super vulnerable able to the |
18250s | Venture just trying to jump you in the |
18252s | back yeah that's a big thing like |
18254s | normally you want to say that J Das kind |
18256s | of get get out of there but happy was |
18258s | more than happy to just go fullon |
18259s | engaged just get to the backline and |
18261s | even split people up that first fight |
18264s | where had had pushed past the doors |
18266s | there was a burrow in the doorway the |
18268s | DPS and the supports that were kind of |
18269s | Trapped in that small Corridor had to |
18271s | back up or fear of getting one shot and |
18273s | there was always followup from Pelican |
18274s | as well right so that's one of the |
18276s | reasons why we see Venture find so much |
18278s | success is when you're able to have that |
18279s | EXT DPS backup and happy Pelican kind of |
18283s | the Perfect combo to do that oh 100% I |
18287s | would love to see a little bit more |
18288s | Adventure from M80 Space Station's time |
18291s | now Rose to pick a map so where do you |
18294s | think we're going to go here well it's |
18296s | so tough to choose because on the one |
18300s | hand space station while they love to |
18301s | play those brawl comps I think this Malo |
18303s | is proving to be a bit of a problem so |
18306s | do you try to head your best do you try |
18308s | to Still Force the issue by going to a |
18311s | map that actually plays well with your |
18313s | di or your brush comp or do you try to |
18316s | throw them off their game you don't die |
18318s | cuz space station can play a very |
18320s | competent looking dive yeah they have |
18323s | become very flexible over the over the |
18324s | years I must say I mean that was perfect |
18327s | from Pelican there just Dash into the |
18329s | back line and sticking sparker who has |
18331s | been uh the main key to success for |
18334s | space station spark is casty it's been |
18336s | really really hard to get anything done |
18338s | if you're against that and then land |
18339s | into Bap like the window pop down like |
18341s | you've seen the highlight reels already |
18342s | from space station and what they could |
18344s | do with that combo there's the stats |
18345s | from the last game as well look at how |
18346s | damage dealt I mean more on the side of |
18348s | space station now 42k versus 40 like you |
18351s | say Rose a very competitive map let's |
18354s | have a look at the map Pool though |
18356s | course this is all the maps that we can |
18357s | go to what space station want to pick |
18359s | but will they favor the rush here or |
18361s | will they favor some else that maybe |
18362s | throws M8 through a are we ever going to |
18365s | see Nani no I don't think |
18367s | so just curious |
18371s | maybe I mean maybe maybe probably not I |
18373s | think a lot of people would rather play |
18374s | Kings or Midtown Hollywood definitely at |
18377s | the bottom of the barrel unfortunately |
18379s | looks like we are going to a hybrid |
18380s | though it's going to be Midtown okay so |
18383s | Midtown we've seen a lot of teams try to |
18385s | attack this in like the first couple of |
18387s | stages of this event with something like |
18388s | the orisa not as playable anymore so |
18391s | likely not going to see a lot of that |
18393s | but we have seen a lot of teams instead |
18395s | of that go towards the sigma have a |
18397s | little bit of poke for that first point |
18399s | make sure you can set up with some of |
18400s | those longer range DPS dealers gives you |
18404s | some really good flanks yeah that's wait |
18406s | and see what hadti wants to do those |
18408s | kind of remind me of like London spit |
18410s | versus Atlanta rain right Hawk versus |
18412s | hardi in that tank slot it's elimination |
18415s | game as well M8 off to a extremely good |
18417s | start although Midtown could swing very |
18419s | easily in Space Station's way I'm just |
18421s | getting word in as well we're not seeing |
18423s | any substitutions for me the team okay |
18425s | so we're not going to see any Backbone |
18427s | in this one uh which is disappointing if |
18429s | only you think about about the fact that |
18430s | the May has been able to be so helpful |
18432s | for the team but I think when you look |
18434s | at how space station have wanted to |
18435s | approach this they really comfortable |
18438s | being able to play the Tracer alongside |
18440s | the Cassidy CU that is just what they |
18443s | practiced the most yeah that's why you |
18444s | have psycho in right just to play that |
18446s | Tracer and it has been protect sparker |
18448s | and what psycho needs to do and has done |
18450s | and been so successful in doing is like |
18452s | not require too many resources on the |
18454s | Tracer kind of reminds me of a kevster |
18456s | way of playing kevster is just so |
18457s | dominant in the server and doesn't |
18458s | really need many resources whatsoever |
18461s | and psycho has been emulating that as |
18464s | well let's jump over to Pride town now |
18468s | on Midtown with our pride variant of the |
18472s | map June 1st of course being pride month |
18474s | here at in Dallas Texas map number two |
18477s | chosen by space station no shocks here |
18479s | really if they come out with a r and of |
18481s | course they show the |
18483s | PCT well if you were asking |
18486s | about okay okay okay yeah you see you |
18489s | are you telling me they're not so scary |
18491s | look like a sleep paralysis demon you |
18493s | telling me no maybe just see you scary |
18497s | stuff they're not too bad pigeon maybe |
18500s | one of the names we need to throw into |
18501s | the mix there for like Hawk |
18503s | Pelican be |
18505s | pigeon of the game bu the |
18508s | [Applause] |
18510s | pigeon I love it well let's get into the |
18512s | game shall we it is going to be M80 on |
18514s | the defense first they've got the sigma |
18516s | as well as that far far perfect deal |
18519s | have that hope damage that you would |
18521s | want alongside this Cassidy from happy |
18523s | and you also have a very static backline |
18525s | here with ultra violet being able to |
18526s | play at range as well however space |
18528s | station they've got the Reinhard it's |
18531s | coming are they ready for this Pain |
18533s | Train it's going to be a big wrap around |
18536s | very classic M may have to be a little |
18538s | bit cautious here they don't want to |
18539s | overextend after seeing the r because |
18541s | space station do have the ability to |
18543s | speed the other direction as well and |
18544s | catch anybody that's maybe overextending |
18545s | a little bit but just going to be kind |
18547s | ofit more of a default here from space |
18549s | station just trying to get into that |
18550s | Mega health pack room using that lamp as |
18551s | well making sure every survives Li one |
18553s | HP there and narly gets away from |
18556s | sparker revolver W but this Reinhard |
18558s | Shield is taking so much damage you want |
18560s | to use it to be able to rotate into this |
18561s | room but now that that Shield is |
18563s | replenished You' got to go forward |
18565s | really tough spot now for M8 they have |
18567s | to attack into sparker I mean look at |
18569s | the old charge he's already got but |
18570s | hard's the first one to fall now they |
18571s | can push forward with this lamp oh it |
18573s | should be an easy clean up now only one |
18575s | tick acquired by space |
18578s | station very patient play once again |
18580s | there from a not afraid to give up that |
18582s | third of the point to know that they |
18584s | have Downs to deal with this rush but |
18588s | this far has been lethal coming out from |
18590s | Pelican not only is it breaking the |
18592s | shield from hotti which means that space |
18594s | station are taking a lot of damage on |
18595s | the income the pel's going to have a |
18597s | barage yeah already yeah insane amounts |
18599s | of damage coming out from theara same |
18601s | sparker to to be fair with a high N I |
18604s | think I'll take the far take far at |
18606s | least if you get like instant burst |
18608s | damage if a bit too high up de is going |
18609s | to win that but we have to see how |
18612s | Pelican does react to that they spot in |
18614s | Liar once again but look at this Pelican |
18616s | just hovering over the skies are they |
18617s | going to expect it oh he's dodging out |
18620s | the way he space station a bit too |
18622s | hesitant to push through here as Pelican |
18624s | tries to find an angle right in the back |
18626s | line straight on the pill though but |
18628s | sparker finds two already he does get |
18630s | traded however that barrage finding him |
18634s | and psycho surviving a magade has to get |
18636s | back to his batist and can still push |
18639s | out with a window if he so chooses but |
18641s | Hardy from downtown finds the pin onto |
18644s | happy that should be this first point |
18647s | here for station getting this card |
18648s | unlocked especially when psycho is able |
18650s | to chase liar down out of the Way's |
18653s | going to come back in Hawk able to stall |
18654s | for just a little bit longer before the |
18656s | inevitable comes through the hog's |
18658s | actually going to get a little bit |
18659s | staggered here this is big yeah you can |
18661s | s out quite a while there cuz the |
18663s | payload has to then go through the doors |
18665s | play that little animation doesn't end |
18666s | up stopping even if you're kind of |
18667s | contesting at that point so it's quite |
18669s | nice like you said a very big slagger |
18671s | cuz they can instantly take High Ground |
18673s | now if Hulk has maybe died maybe second |
18675s | or third there in the fight of course he |
18677s | ended up coming back it would have been |
18679s | better cuz then they could take High |
18680s | Ground initially but it's not to be yeah |
18682s | and it's going to be harder now for |
18683s | Pelican to actually grab purchase here |
18685s | with this far not before this dvic flux |
18687s | comes through oh flux comes through the |
18689s | high from happy they're finding too much |
18691s | though but they force out the sound |
18692s | barrier from space station they got a |
18695s | nice little high ground Advantage now |
18696s | that's how they take it back using that |
18698s | one big flux that payload a bit an |
18700s | awkward spot for Space Station 2 right |
18702s | now in the open far just gets free real |
18705s | estate up on this High Ground to SP down |
18707s | on top of the Reinhardt Shield but pay |
18709s | attention forti trying to get an angle |
18711s | to use his OU if he can and Lena still |
18714s | has his ant Matrix try to push back |
18716s | space station was inviting M8 there to |
18718s | drop down SL was waiting there with the |
18720s | window not going to fall for the bait |
18723s | however Astro goes down though what's a |
18726s | Spam coming out from Pelican yet again |
18727s | just the spears the Rockets so much spam |
18731s | damage from m8's comp it's tough |
18733s | sometimes to stay alive in these Close |
18734s | Quarters you can see exactly that yeah |
18737s | there's no way to escape they might |
18739s | stagger Hardy too they can oh they're |
18741s | going to try as hard as they can stagger |
18742s | from as long as possible nice nice |
18744s | little stagger there Burns about 30 |
18746s | seconds yeah and no only 2 and A2 |
18749s | minutes for Space Station to try to get |
18751s | through the rest of the second point |
18752s | they still have a lot to work with |
18754s | though the Earth shatter not used yet |
18756s | amplification Matrix is going to be nice |
18757s | to be able to match that of ultraviolet |
18760s | but space station still have to find a |
18761s | way to deal with this far barrage from |
18763s | pelic holding on to that and with this |
18765s | High Ground Control can be a little bit |
18767s | easier to make sure that these Rockets |
18768s | actually find the |
18771s | targets up that Shield as well right up |
18774s | in the skies to help pelic find |
18776s | something window on The High Ground |
18778s | there comes the shatter but everything's |
18779s | already on the low ground Hawk was |
18781s | midair when that shatter hit so he just |
18783s | sailed over the edge to the rest of his |
18785s | team and they were able to save it a big |
18788s | zoning sound barrier comes in oh |
18790s | Pelican's right up in their face little |
18793s | kiss the forehead from Pelican they do |
18795s | now march on forward not much you can do |
18797s | especially when you know that far's got |
18799s | the barrage you have to back up your |
18800s | space station now you got one player |
18803s | left to do it oh I mean come on Astro |
18805s | taking Pelican out of the Skies but |
18807s | damage has already been done I'm afraid |
18809s | Astro minute and 30 to go space station |
18811s | have a hard time ging this payload in 4 |
18814s | M away but they still have to regain all |
18816s | that ground and it's such an awkward |
18818s | spot still like right there you have so |
18820s | much open space you have to walk into in |
18822s | order to actually go contest that cart |
18824s | so it's going to take a little while to |
18826s | maybe work through those buildings get |
18827s | up to The High Ground take it all back |
18829s | like you said and the amplification |
18830s | Matrix was one of the key tools to be |
18831s | able to do that last time around they |
18833s | don't have that at the moment they have |
18835s | the Dead Eye maybe that'll help a little |
18836s | bit if sparker is able to try to find an |
18838s | angle behind that Reinhardt Shield but |
18840s | funy Astro working up to the sound bear |
18842s | is going to be really important to try |
18844s | to deal with this flux coming out from |
18846s | Hawk and they're starting to run out of |
18847s | time sub one minute territory here for |
18849s | Space Station H's definitely going to |
18850s | get the flux here |
18852s | first you got to be thinking if your M8 |
18855s | that Astro does have beaten well he does |
18857s | now take him a little while to build |
18859s | that up he's all good here comes the |
18860s | window on the left hand side from M8 |
18862s | flux hits however the sound bar is going |
18864s | to come in Hawk super low in the sky |
18866s | just a little bit more vulnerable up |
18867s | there to spark it and land it as sound |
18869s | barri is good to stop that damage coming |
18871s | through but now they need to fight on |
18872s | the payload for's going to have a little |
18873s | bit of a rough time though as Hardy |
18876s | knocks him for six swinging away three |
18878s | kills for the Run F and that will be |
18880s | point two took a little bit of time but |
18883s | they got there they're able to use that |
18885s | Dead Eye to help push back M8 and now |
18887s | actually going to force a swap out Hawk |
18890s | going to go over to the ratra counter |
18892s | that we've seen before going to help be |
18894s | able to bully this Reinhard a little bit |
18896s | better what do you take there the hammer |
18899s | or the fists yeah exactly was so funny |
18902s | when Racha like first got kind of |
18904s | released it was like wow he just rolls |
18906s | Reinhardt you have to be I mean you have |
18908s | to be pretty aggressive you're winning |
18910s | these ryles but I mean with a window and |
18911s | sparker behind it pretty easy no shatter |
18914s | needed either as Hulk just trying |
18917s | Nemesis form trying to get some more |
18918s | damage in they do end up taking care of |
18919s | Landon and psycho a rather messy fight |
18921s | now sparker is just dodging everything M |
18925s | throwing at is using Hardy Shield to |
18927s | Perfection there but this is going to be |
18929s | where things get really tough here for |
18930s | space station because they're starting |
18931s | to run out of time again they've got one |
18933s | minute left to try to sneak this payload |
18936s | right around this last Corner Pelican is |
18938s | waiting for them with this barage look |
18940s | at the angle that he's taking right now |
18942s | no matter where you turn you're going to |
18944s | be taking a ton of damage from this dead |
18945s | ey or this far |
18948s | up hunting searching for anybody that |
18952s | potentially is on the flank oh almost |
18955s | one shotting psycho there 30 seconds to |
18957s | go now Rose this means it's going to be |
18959s | final fight so space station can't do it |
18961s | here that is going to be it but they've |
18962s | got this Earth chatter maybe that'll |
18963s | help pic still going to be tossed H noon |
18966s | pushing in every round the Sid psycho |
18968s | already down though the beat comes in |
18970s | just in time but there's the pin onto |
18973s | Pelican he just trade for Hardy and now |
18976s | sparker trying to be the Savior for |
18978s | space station gaming but he is just |
18981s | absolutely destroyed by UltraViolets |
18983s | when with 10 seconds to go Astro can |
18985s | only land a two m sand barrier and now |
18988s | they have to deal with a window |
18989s | something that all they're all too |
18991s | familiar with but they were on the wrong |
18992s | side of it this time around Astro Solo |
18995s | aled in the train and M80 are going to |
18999s | space station just before that third |
19001s | point oh sparker comes out on the Widow |
19004s | to just gives us a little bit of a show |
19005s | there with that pick on to |
19007s | ultraviolet but a lot of extra car |
19010s | progress for space station narly missing |
19012s | out on being able to capture that third |
19014s | and final point but still a push that |
19016s | they should be very proud of that far |
19018s | gave them a lot of |
19020s | trouble felt like it was only a matter |
19022s | of time sometimes before we sell those |
19023s | barges be able to do some pretty nasty |
19027s | damage yeah that spam is just so |
19029s | annoying to deal with with your the r as |
19031s | well to be very careful of your Shield |
19032s | health cuz that's what Sparky uses most |
19034s | of the time to try and escape a lot of |
19036s | that damage let get quick M80 listening |
19040s | though not the best if they're playing |
19042s | that on |
19045s | attack you want C you P huh you want C |
19049s | you ready for |
19052s | [Music] |
19055s | ble hello |
19060s | oh bro my ear |
19070s | hurts we'll see to that air soon Li |
19072s | don't worry about it wonder who's been |
19074s | yapping the cons are pretty big I want |
19076s | to know who's breathing in cons my word |
19079s | get that away from your nose Sons how |
19081s | was the most polite support player line |
19083s | I've ever heard as well do you want kir |
19085s | DPS would you like that would you like |
19087s | that or would you like to play something |
19088s | else heard any support player say that |
19090s | in my |
19091s | game well you're usually the support |
19093s | player yeah and I don't |
19094s | change all right M8 what you got still |
19097s | running out with Pelican on the far they |
19099s | really feel like they like this Lo |
19101s | versus Space Station no Reinhardt the |
19102s | defense though well the far so good too |
19104s | because the the sigma it can only really |
19107s | cover One Direction when you take a look |
19109s | at that Shield the far is able to use |
19111s | that mobility and get around it just |
19113s | make sure you're able to do that spam |
19115s | damage but Hawk actually wants to go |
19116s | back switches off of the ratra wants to |
19118s | go to the Sigma going to fear a little |
19120s | bit better to play a bit more |
19121s | methodically through this midpoint but |
19123s | they still have to deal with poone Sigma |
19126s | on the other side yeah Li also swaps |
19129s | over to the brick here too so no Lucio |
19130s | speed for M8 lot more defensive counter |
19133s | measures for psycho on the |
19138s | Tracer but it's going to be helpful when |
19140s | you know that yeah psycho wants to try |
19142s | to wrap around help work with sparker to |
19144s | deal this extra |
19146s | damage happy though taking this High |
19148s | Ground away actually going a Force Space |
19150s | Station to go so far back so much |
19152s | respect given by space station right now |
19153s | to M8 AB in a really good spot too up on |
19156s | this High Ground that lamp is going to |
19158s | make sure he stays alive psycho forced |
19161s | to recall there now in a 1 V one again a |
19163s | sparker ends up going down and what a |
19164s | perfect spot for the fire to be in |
19166s | watching people basically walk through |
19168s | the choke point at you should be |
19170s | checkpoint you'd imagine however the |
19171s | window comes up for both landing and |
19174s | UltraViolet it's just so Scrappy there |
19177s | M80 that come out on top by the looks of |
19178s | it |
19180s | PlayStation gaming a littleit lost there |
19182s | just again just backed up so far just |
19184s | let let M8 just get on the point and |
19186s | then have pelic to shoot rockets and as |
19188s | soon as they try to engage well you |
19191s | called it it was just giving respect |
19192s | over knowing how good happy has been on |
19195s | the Cassidy as well happy sparker having |
19198s | to duel each other on these Heroes but I |
19200s | think one of the bigger things about |
19201s | space na is they've been sending psycho |
19202s | after happy just to be able to mark him |
19205s | down make sure he cannot get that extra |
19207s | sight line onto the rest of the team |
19209s | space station they fall pretty early |
19211s | they're able to get this High Ground |
19213s | Control but this is something that pel |
19214s | is taking full advantage of wow happy |
19217s | insta popping the dead eyee there as |
19219s | soon as that flux came in means no one |
19221s | can peek out try and get some additional |
19223s | damage to get insta kills with the |
19225s | flux nice work from so far they're |
19228s | taking a fair bit of damage though yeah |
19229s | H trying to back up get rocked that lamp |
19231s | way too late there from ultrav but |
19233s | that's a signal for Space Station to try |
19235s | to push this push back M80 not give them |
19238s | any more perch |
19239s | with what they've been able to do so far |
19241s | yeah that PO too a bit of a weird spot |
19243s | for space station but now they can push |
19245s | all the way up and have that PO regress |
19247s | slightly m going to have to recapture |
19249s | some of that space it probably won't |
19251s | regress too far but any meters a meter |
19253s | in this game time oh H goes down yet |
19256s | again though high no P bom sound barrier |
19260s | thrown in M8 just pop rally walk forward |
19263s | spark is trying to find an off angle |
19264s | here but psycho's down Hardy even |
19266s | switching over to the Winston here spark |
19268s | it needs to find kill needs to find |
19269s | something but as soon as he pops his |
19271s | head out he's already dead yeah actually |
19274s | gives up the Winston too recognizes that |
19276s | the rest of space station were going to |
19277s | was going to fall it would have been |
19279s | helpful at least to be able to get back |
19281s | if you knew that the fight was going to |
19282s | be long eated enough but he missed the |
19284s | opportunity to get that sound barrier |
19285s | from funny Astro so actually just going |
19287s | to go over to the Reinhardt instead a |
19290s | lot of comfort coming out here from |
19291s | space station but look at where pelic |
19293s | going with this by pelic though |
19298s | they coming out from Landon on the left |
19300s | hand side here FL solo onto Hardy but |
19302s | Li's already down L comes in just in |
19305s | time from Landon those Amplified heels |
19307s | to doing a lot of work hard peeking his |
19309s | shoulder out there gets checked Boulder |
19312s | comes in strikes him pelan is still |
19314s | behind them has got the barrage spots |
19316s | the magnate Dodges out the way but the |
19318s | rest of his team can't stay alive long |
19321s | enough for him to get on top choose that |
19323s | barrage it's psycho and sparker that |
19325s | clean them up yeah psycho with a really |
19327s | nice couple of kills there which is |
19328s | going to going to help stop that c if |
19330s | tracks right before it's able to capture |
19331s | that second objective and now this is |
19334s | really where space station gets a chance |
19336s | to have that advantage on the defense |
19339s | especially if sparker just going to hit |
19341s | shots like that all right quick reset |
19343s | ready ready for pel to peek his head up |
19346s | well happy maybe a little bit afraid |
19347s | there he was going to get jumped off by |
19349s | the rest of space station so pops the |
19351s | Dead Eye even receed the lamp |
19354s | too at least buys M some time for Pelon |
19357s | to come back |
19359s | has that barrage that's ready to go |
19361s | ready to rip but look at psycho look at |
19364s | where psycho's actually trying to go |
19365s | from oh SP |
19369s | again two fights back to back finds |
19372s | initial picks and that's what you want |
19375s | Busan just a warm up for space station |
19377s | by the looks of it now they're feeling |
19379s | themselves they're actually about to go |
19380s | up and touch the spawn doors if they're |
19382s | not careful and why would you not want |
19384s | to you're starting to come down to a |
19386s | minute and a half now look at M80 though |
19388s | with big switch up they're going to go |
19390s | to the Mal comp with the Genji with the |
19392s | Venture they're not able to break |
19393s | through with the braw their own so go |
19395s | over to the Mala see if that's going to |
19397s | help to get them back into things |
19398s | especially with the ventures initiation |
19400s | they're running into five ultimates |
19401s | though rose on Space Station let's see |
19404s | how they can take this |
19414s | fight window I'm really |
19426s | you to |
19438s | right on |
19443s | angle |
19447s | vure I canou |
19449s | touch I touch I touch right side right |
19455s | [Music] |
19459s | side |
19464s | window shoot |
19466s | cross 15 seconds now to go for Space |
19469s | Station to hold this second point the P |
19471s | regress so far too M has to gain so much |
19473s | more space there and so much more time |
19475s | on the payload L is already down again |
19478s | another p and may see their final chance |
19480s | here now but space station have two HS |
19481s | to work with the dead ey and that sound |
19483s | barrier what can they really do the vent |
19485s | is already in but happy taking a lot of |
19486s | damage has use that Dr Dash to get out I |
19488s | mean they can just beat aggressively |
19490s | they do not care W M1 a dead eye for |
19493s | Spar and 2 probably doesn't even need it |
19496s | M80 laid waste to on |
19499s | [Applause] |
19503s | Midtown those CS were so aggressive at |
19506s | the end there you can actually hear them |
19507s | trying to play around that sound barrier |
19509s | that they thought Li had maybe happy to |
19512s | know that that actually wasn't in their |
19514s | pocket at all let them just kind of use |
19516s | those ultimates freely without the worry |
19518s | that they would be negated yeah I mean |
19520s | their old Advantage was just so great |
19523s | when you pulled that swap to the Genji |
19524s | in adventure it was 1 minute and 30 |
19526s | seconds to go and it's like okay great |
19528s | we made the swap up now but space |
19530s | station was sat with five alss and then |
19532s | you heard the call too Landon sparker |
19535s | they want a hard swing right pop the |
19537s | window down but it was actually 80 that |
19539s | went first and they just backed up and |
19541s | even Hardy land a little BM shatter on |
19544s | Haw cuz he tried to dash to the backline |
19546s | disrupt sparker and the rest of the team |
19548s | and had he just turn around 180 boom hit |
19549s | the Shadow and yeah rest is history I |
19551s | would have likeed to see M80 try to |
19553s | switch up to that composition a little |
19555s | bit |
19555s | earlier it's a tough call to make though |
19558s | right because on the one hand yes like |
19559s | that would really help to give you a |
19561s | little bit more o if you're not able to |
19564s | break through with what you're playing |
19565s | then maybe just try to do another |
19567s | ultimate rotation see if that's going to |
19569s | be good enough but not able to get the |
19572s | job done right there and major credit to |
19574s | space station to limiting the amount of |
19576s | potential that that Venture could have |
19578s | yeah and limiting that far too I mean |
19579s | sparker really came alive on that second |
19581s | point two fights back to back just |
19583s | instantly picking off somebody whether |
19585s | it's the far the b in the backline the |
19587s | Lucio whatever like it's so rough to |
19589s | kind of come back from you're kind of |
19590s | happy in a way if you get if you get |
19593s | picked that early okay quickly reset but |
19595s | space station were in a position where |
19597s | the payload was near the second point |
19598s | point and it was just rolling back the |
19601s | entire time so you're just you're just |
19604s | losing so much time if you're M80 cuz |
19606s | you need to win the fight then push it |
19608s | back to where it was and then win that |
19609s | fight and then push it into the actual |
19611s | checkpoint perfectly played there by |
19613s | space station on that second point there |
19615s | on Midtown is the Cassidy head-to-head |
19618s | sparker versus happy that's really close |
19621s | they're very evenly matched right now |
19623s | and why we're getting such a good fight |
19625s | between these two teams oh yes indeed I |
19628s | mean look sparker and the rest of space |
19630s | station they've been using this comp to |
19632s | such great success over the last stage |
19634s | and it wasn't too much of a surprise for |
19636s | them to come out even with all these |
19638s | meta shifts as well people were saying |
19640s | that oh you know Hanzo Venture far |
19642s | they're all they're going to get played |
19643s | like we're going to expect some crazy |
19645s | things but space station like their old |
19647s | London Spitfire name they stick to what |
19649s | they know and to what they have success |
19651s | with and they are just doing phenomenal |
19654s | and in a way it's like okay we know what |
19656s | they're going to play too they're going |
19657s | to play some sort of rush but then ja |
19659s | also has been flexing on the sigma 2 and |
19661s | he's just been so clean from eu's number |
19664s | one and even if they had to play a dive |
19667s | map they could do that too we have seen |
19668s | Winston come out from potty in this |
19670s | tournament so a lot of comfort that this |
19673s | team can draw upon and a lot of |
19675s | different looks that are going to make |
19676s | them a huge threat and have continued to |
19679s | make them look that way but in this |
19681s | matchup so far I mean we got a series on |
19683s | our hands that is extremely close 1.1 |
19687s | 0.9 KD down damage is pretty close aim |
19690s | death everything this match is going to |
19692s | come down to the wire I mean this is |
19694s | elimination match here as well mat8 or |
19696s | space station they will end up going |
19697s | home here if they do end up going down |
19700s | going on to map number three and now is |
19702s | m8's chance to pick we're going to |
19706s | Havana of w Mouse wow maybe not |
19709s | something that I was particularly |
19711s | expecting because Havana likes raw ra |
19716s | likes Havana yeah but in this same vein |
19719s | you can play this poke style too maybe |
19721s | just stick Happy on the Widow and just |
19723s | let him go to town happy Widow Maker |
19725s | exactly that would be exciting yeah I |
19727s | mean Havana is one of the few maps that |
19729s | we can see the Widowmaker come out but I |
19731s | think back to even when Havana was first |
19733s | released into the game I remember just |
19735s | so much of those close holds coming |
19737s | through from the spawns the far is nice |
19739s | though it'll help you break through one |
19741s | of those if you're able to get the flank |
19742s | from a different spawn door so maybe |
19746s | that's there's no substitutions either |
19747s | coming through uh from either side so |
19749s | again we're not seeing fat bone coming |
19750s | yeah so no May yeah no May no May no sim |
19753s | no silliness um but I I can imagine from |
19755s | am we probably will end up seeing the |
19756s | far a very close hold to start off |
19759s | initially far pretty decent at that CU |
19761s | you can hold the you can hold The High |
19762s | Ground of the spawn or like the roof of |
19764s | the spawn and just like slide and then |
19766s | up slide slide slide and just keep using |
19768s | it and well they fun Out Below you and |
19770s | you just Spam them with rockets and then |
19772s | Happy hopefully just sits all the way at |
19773s | the back and just Snipes a few heads |
19775s | well we have to wait and see if that |
19776s | does come to fruition Havana back number |
19779s | three M8 versus Space Station in this |
19781s | elimination match we haven't seen this |
19783s | map in a |
19785s | while it has been a |
19790s | while curious to see how space station |
19793s | they just I mean play the there's |
19795s | pigeons on this one as well yeah there's |
19799s | pigeons audience likes the pigeons I |
19802s | like them a little bit too |
19804s | much like they're doing it to mock me |
19810s | well space station they've got this |
19811s | Reinhardt comp on the defense they are |
19814s | going to go for that closer hold you can |
19816s | see Hottie already actually trying to |
19818s | get up on the gas station a little bit |
19820s | of a fire strike here there but it may |
19823s | quick to go for the malga the Genji and |
19825s | the Venture and look at that how they're |
19827s | easily they're accessing the back yeah |
19829s | UV loved a massive anti in the backline |
19831s | I say massive only hit one but it hit |
19833s | spark at the key Target they want to |
19834s | take down first you can see M trying to |
19837s | like get on the |
19839s | does Force Space Station to recoil here |
19841s | psycho first a fall a liar of all people |
19844s | I mean you can stay alive here if your |
19845s | space station they got no ha spawn is |
19848s | pretty close but you're burning time and |
19849s | that's what's important oh look at that |
19851s | too sparker just marking wherever that |
19853s | Venture is going to peek their |
19855s | headen has to use the deflect H's |
19859s | actually going to try to back away |
19860s | especially when Happy's going to go in |
19862s | get a second time here with the |
19864s | Venture backing all the way up to that |
19867s | corner so that space station can have a |
19869s | better defensive hold as M80 breaks |
19872s | through that |
19874s | spawn very aggressive drill bash in |
19878s | however that window almost perfectly |
19879s | popped down to annihilate Taffy but |
19881s | manages to get away there's the nanab |
19883s | Boost onto Pelican magade strikes him |
19885s | liar to the rescue takes down sparker |
19887s | before he can find the |
19889s | elimination space station are still |
19891s | coming up with the picks though and that |
19893s | card has stopped in his tracks as funny |
19895s | Aster comes in gets the better of wired |
19897s | here Force ultraviolet off the Anna to |
19900s | go to the KIRO a little bit more |
19902s | Mobility to be able to get in on those |
19903s | engagements a little bit faster with the |
19905s | Swift step or just make sure that you |
19907s | can take a different angle but this card |
19908s | has not made much progress by the time |
19910s | that space station re will come back |
19912s | with hotti on this Reinhard to hold the |
19913s | corner yeah I mean already the time bank |
19916s | is almost half and hard's got the shadow |
19920s | coming off as just taking way too much |
19923s | damage in the front line again the spam |
19926s | favorite M8 in terms of the spam War but |
19929s | his a space station game focusing down |
19931s | the tank and actually props for to |
19932s | switch it did yeah over to the ratra to |
19935s | the ratra now going to help try to be |
19937s | the the leading Force malus is not going |
19939s | to do it right now little bit too much |
19941s | of a meat shield for the M80 versus |
19944s | actually being able to help burst down |
19946s | this |
19948s | sheld the aggressive Shadow there finds |
19950s | the pin this is Happy somehow not sure |
19952s | if I actually connected in the end tonic |
19954s | shot comes through crashing through |
19956s | Hardy's Shield or Le they trying to a |
19959s | shield didn't end up breaking again ha |
19961s | is the first to fall burrow drill Dash |
19963s | straight over the top of spar's head and |
19967s | Hardy finds the Ping kill on the Venture |
19970s | minute and a half now for M8 to try to |
19971s | break through this and it's not going |
19973s | super well this was his map Choice as |
19976s | well to try to throw off space station |
19978s | but space station they're holding him in |
19981s | spawn pretty |
19982s | much and they were forced to make a |
19984s | couple of other swaps here happy |
19986s | actually going back over to the Venture |
19987s | as h over to the m once again this is |
19990s | going to finally be what it takes people |
19992s | to break through this he actually |
19993s | wrapped around the entire team here as |
19996s | ready with this blade sound barrier |
19998s | Astro is going to need it for this blade |
19999s | H he going to get focused once again |
20000s | cardiac overdrive is going to save for |
20002s | the time being and here comes the sound |
20003s | barrier BL going to get popped almost |
20005s | instantly afterwards sparker eventually |
20006s | Falls to ultra pilot but can they clean |
20009s | the rest up space station gaming kind of |
20011s | dancing around M blade didn't do much of |
20013s | anything at all and Landon comes up huge |
20016s | happy liar dead over time swiftly |
20019s | approaching with 30 seconds to go and |
20022s | have the spawn position yes for space |
20024s | station they just running down the clock |
20027s | at every possible opportunity and psycho |
20029s | has a pulse bomb too so could just end |
20031s | this fight here and now if able to land |
20032s | this pulse bomb on to R like ultraviolet |
20035s | or liar and there's no ultimates coming |
20037s | up yet for M80 and the last time that |
20038s | they had the tectonic shock it's |
20039s | Reinhard standing in its |
20041s | attack oh liar dead 4v5 now they try and |
20047s | get the pin in sparka Left Alive once |
20049s | again as H suffers the pulse bomb and |
20052s | space station gaming no ultimates really |
20055s | required we don't need the Dead Eye we |
20057s | don't need the window to win space |
20060s | station gaming hold them on that first |
20067s | Corner don't need any of that they just |
20069s | need the four |
20070s | hole that's |
20072s | crazy |
20075s | sides every looking a little bit |
20077s | dejected right now smile on Landon's |
20080s | face Hardy 2 grinning ear to ear comes |
20083s | off very serious in like uh the head |
20086s | shots that we do and everything but he's |
20088s | all smiles backstage All Smiles in |
20091s | [Laughter] |
20096s | game come on I think the crowd out |
20099s | weighs you on this one J you know I |
20100s | think they found every pigeon on every |
20102s | map like actually for that's what the |
20104s | that's what OB sergeon does in their |
20105s | spare time I just think they might have |
20107s | a four folder |
20111s | videos soci going to cook down how |
20114s | highly re of pigeons at some point all |
20117s | right let's see what M8 want to do on |
20119s | their defense of course like you |
20120s | predicted Rose probably going to be |
20121s | playing the far |
20123s | here ultravet going over to the KIRO |
20126s | just want to full hold I mean you have |
20127s | to really cuz look at how close that |
20130s | blue box of Victory is for space station |
20133s | M80 looking a bit worse for wear right |
20136s | now hey anyone getting picked off on M80 |
20139s | though that could just spell the end of |
20141s | the map it's not going to be easy for a |
20143s | lot of these characters to come back |
20145s | quickly unless you want to |
20147s | include some of those skills to actually |
20149s | roll out of Spawn so space station a |
20152s | chance to make this very explosive as |
20153s | the spawn gates open o I like this TP |
20156s | from psycho so they're just going to |
20157s | wrap completely around them no damage |
20159s | from basically in them against the spawn |
20163s | and then psycho is in spawn still so |
20165s | it's only a four person TP from space |
20166s | station |
20168s | should be enough psycho's always going |
20170s | to be that |
20171s | persistent far 1 HP and Sparco finds the |
20174s | kill already also said extremely low and |
20177s | now what do you do if you're M8 they've |
20179s | got no answers to this quiz space |
20182s | station gaming going to easily clean up |
20185s | and this is how you play H |
20190s | m8g here too the M can't even come close |
20193s | to the C to be able to contest H goes |
20195s | down M I need Es at all pelic Pelican's |
20200s | going to be out to come in but |
20202s | no space station |
20205s | gaming leading the series 2 to one on |
20209s | the map choice of |
20211s | M80 Havana looks so easy for them maybe |
20215s | hard was wrong maybe it's not a 3 but |
20217s | it's looking like a 3-1 it is looking |
20219s | like a 3-1 Havana was not even close |
20222s | space station they knew exactly how they |
20224s | wanted to execute on that defense |
20228s | almost looked like it caused a little |
20230s | bit of psychic damage over to 80 but how |
20233s | difficult it was for them to actually |
20234s | break out honestly it looking like that |
20237s | third form of damage the emotional |
20239s | damage you saw like in the halftime |
20241s | there or like in the small downtime we |
20243s | have between rounds like a little bit of |
20244s | dejection on the face I mean you're |
20246s | feeling that too I'm sure a lot of you |
20247s | have been in that situation in the past |
20249s | where you end up getting full held or |
20251s | close to being full held and it's a |
20252s | rough Mountain not only physically like |
20255s | in the server but mentally too coming |
20257s | back and what you picked up perfectly |
20259s | there as well Rose at the start of that |
20260s | M start of that round even was you find |
20263s | one pick as space station gaming it's |
20266s | very easy to then snowball away cuz |
20268s | that's what that comp does they want to |
20269s | get in your face they're not here to |
20271s | mess around they're not here to play |
20272s | poke hard's here to get in your face and |
20275s | hit you with a hammer a few times that |
20277s | that's going to |
20278s | hurt that's got to hurt but yeah I mean |
20281s | even the symmetric teleporter play right |
20282s | outside of Spawn it was that split push |
20285s | as you called it psycho just kind of |
20286s | waiting back in spawn |
20288s | waiting for somebody to get low you |
20290s | could see him actually tagging the far |
20293s | and by the time the far was low sparker |
20295s | came in dealt the final blow and that |
20298s | was all she wrote for that second round |
20300s | and that's really how you cry |
20302s | all those stats looking a little rough |
20305s | for M8 there six final blows 27 |
20313s | deaths that tells you a story of a |
20316s | one-sided affair on yeah third back I |
20319s | mean that's how you break that spawn |
20320s | hole right you TP past it and where does |
20323s | the far really hide you have one like |
20326s | wall you can now hide and play around |
20329s | you can't hold like above the spawn at |
20331s | all you have to then try and navigate |
20334s | psycho rolling you from the side and |
20337s | then sparker taking these really |
20338s | aggressive wide Swings with the Cassidy |
20341s | we're going onto m8's map Choice yet |
20343s | again let's have a look at some |
20344s | highlights from that previous round AR |
20346s | going to be a lot of them was a pretty |
20348s | short one this is m8's final chance here |
20350s | to come back in the series well I mean |
20352s | we can actually just kind of look back |
20354s | on how M8 tried to break through this |
20357s | spawn hold you had the Venture as well |
20360s | as the Genji didn't see any of that far |
20363s | come through I thought might be a little |
20364s | bit helpful to at least break that run |
20366s | heart Shield maybe |
20368s | Force Space Station have to retreat just |
20371s | a little bit in fear of some of that |
20373s | damage take that wide angle with |
20376s | it was pretty tough too especially when |
20378s | you got landed |
20380s | best too yeah just every single time the |
20383s | fire Peak head out well it's going to |
20385s | get shot like sparker his aim is just |
20388s | absolutely cracked one of the Best |
20389s | Western if not the probably the best |
20391s | western Cy we have here in the |
20393s | tournament I think so I mean just it |
20396s | speaks for itself and when you look at |
20398s | sparker hero pool already had proven |
20400s | himself on the ability to play the |
20401s | sojourn in the last few years with the |
20403s | OverWatch league and also brought out |
20405s | the ash a couple of times maybe not a |
20407s | pick that we're going to see too often |
20408s | in this tournament but the cassid is |
20410s | definitely proven to be a very very |
20412s | strong point for this player yeah |
20413s | exactly that M8 now again get to choose |
20416s | a map and a game type hav got too many |
20418s | of them left unfortunately can't go to |
20420s | escort can't go to hybrid or control now |
20422s | so we' got push yeah where are you |
20424s | expecting here well both of these are so |
20427s | tough because I feel like it just plays |
20429s | in space station strengths as a team on |
20431s | flasho you're going to want to play |
20432s | Brawl most of the |
20434s | time space station love brawl so that |
20438s | one that one's a hard one because you |
20440s | can't |
20441s | really change up how that's going to |
20444s | work we have ex many maps that you can |
20446s | go to now I don't think that uh space |
20448s | station AR going to kind of excel at um |
20450s | especially being able to play Ram or |
20452s | even the sigma but I think H just going |
20453s | to lock Ryan we go flas point they're |
20455s | going to run rush we're going to esara |
20457s | or a push map they're probably going to |

20461s | break however give the players a couple |

20541s | fun I got my friend uh Tor here who are |
20543s | you uh who are you rooting for right now |
20544s | I'm really liking space station the way |
20546s | they're playing against 8 especially on |
20547s | the last map it was great do you think |
20549s | do you think it's going to be space |
20551s | station gaming uh taking the win against |
20552s | M80 if they keep up the way they've been |
20554s | playing I I think so they've adapted |
20556s | really well who who else is uh here for |
20558s | space station gaming who's uh who's a |
20560s | fan |
20562s | Hardy all |
20566s | right all right guys I mean I'm just |
20568s | going to watch the game here with the |
20569s | fans so hey casters back to you |
20573s | guys thank you very much Daddy probably |
20576s | the biggest hottie fan you will ever |
20578s | meet like hands down yes I think so I it |
20582s | was really cute seeing that uh cheer |
20585s | from the crowd and also seeing like |
20586s | funny Astra over there like doing the |
20588s | same thing was great he was ready to go |
20589s | too he's a big fan of Hardy too who have |
20592s | thought on the same team how could you |
20594s | not be it's chatty exactly they really |
20596s | have GED that reputation for themselves |
20598s | yeah as a pry fun loving team and being |
20600s | a team that's not afraid to play |
20602s | unconventional things at least not |
20603s | anymore really cuz it's kind of fitting |
20605s | their withous extremely well of course |
20607s | this is an elimination game too I mean |
20609s | M8 are on their potential final life |
20611s | here in this series a loss on this next |
20613s | map and they're eliminated completely |
20614s | they're going home space station gaming |
20617s | advaned it's a scary bracket there's |
20619s | still a chance for M8 to come back there |
20621s | is a chance but it's going to be a |
20623s | difficult Road for M82 as saale we have |
20626s | push and flash point left as the game |
20629s | modes that M8 get a chance to choose |
20631s | from to rewrite the destiny of this one |
20635s | and it's all brawl all the way feels |
20638s | like as we see new junk City being |
20641s | picked new junk City we're going over to |
20645s | flash points no substitutions either |
20648s | either side same 10 players in the lobby |
20652s | ready and raring to go looking at the |
20653s | player cams right now they're all all |
20655s | smiles on Space Station's side once |
20657s | again I imagine a little bit of a pep |
20660s | talk over the side of M80 we see if we |
20662s | can get to that map number five of |
20663s | course M8 need it to keep their lives in |
20666s | the tournament alive space station on |
20668s | the other hand I just want to end this |
20670s | right here right |
20673s | now I'm just looking forward to when we |
20676s | get a chance to see hard you push-up on |
20677s | stage |
20678s | again some point right surely at some |
20681s | point A match is going to be decided by |
20683s | just how many push-ups H can do he's |
20685s | winning that one for |
20688s | sure all right let's jump in fourth map |
20692s | new Jun City M8 versus Space Station |
20700s | [Music] |
20703s | gaming I'm just jamming out the music |
20706s | right now |
20708s | such Vibes on this map but to m80's |
20710s | credit this is a map that plays very |
20713s | well for the malga when malga was on |
20715s | that super op patch we did see a lot of |
20718s | malga get played and no pigeon but J |
20721s | that was like crazy looking rub up |
20723s | though there was a bird just for you oh |
20726s | the |
20728s | animal tough game mode like we said Bros |
20731s | tough to play on esparanza against the |
20733s | BW tough to play here game type almost |
20735s | perfectly suited to it let's unlock |
20738s | those Gates M80 rolling out they got the |
20741s | Venture again they got Genji they want |
20744s | to go really hard and fast here on the |
20745s | back line try and take down Landon but |
20747s | spark is the one that to |
20750s | focus tough time so far the amount of |
20752s | time they' eliminated sparker his KD by |
20755s | the way must be ridiculously high right |
20757s | now hasn't died too many times during |
20758s | this uh |
20760s | match been on fire a lot as well but |
20763s | it's going to have to keep that up Tony |
20766s | Astro is able to get the first first |
20768s | draw on the happy pun maybe just going a |
20770s | little bit too far |
20772s | forward nice out of the L there Landing |
20774s | pop down to make sure the rest of the |
20775s | team stay alive land L doesn't up |
20777s | falling as sparker rolls down to low |
20779s | ground Hardy threatening the pin however |
20782s | space station they need to be have to |
20783s | heal up here all pretty low in the back |
20785s | line yeah easy Dash through for Pelican |
20787s | gets the reset but spark is still there |
20789s | and Hardy just connects with the pin who |
20791s | needs supports when you got damaged like |
20793s | that and where was the followup was a |
20796s | really easy pickoff there for pel be |
20798s | able to get the dash reset also just be |
20799s | able to take out such a key piece of |
20801s | Space Station's backat line but so much |
20804s | extra pressure coming here from space |
20805s | station they CH the follow from M |
20807s | couldn't be there and 50% and Counting |
20810s | for space station on this first flash |
20811s | point of this map but ultraviolet with a |
20813s | huge pick onto sparkler to open things |
20815s | up for them yeah double kunai head shot |
20818s | I would |
20819s | imagine I not what you want to see if |
20821s | your space station ging that certainly |
20824s | is there's the pit finds HW straight |
20826s | away from the of his team no more tank |
20829s | now in the sound bar for space station |
20830s | gaming M8 do end up find the flip here |
20832s | as happy on the Venture end up using all |
20835s | CDs to try and get away but the Twan hit |
20838s | squad in finding Astro and Hardy chasing |
20840s | them down pelic gets the nice reset Dash |
20842s | there onyo gets out of here before he |
20844s | ends up losing his own life but this |
20846s | will be space station finding that very |
20849s | Swift flip o and with ultrav Violet |
20851s | going down there too it's going to be |
20853s | more difficult for M8 to actually come |
20854s | in and get a recontest before this flash |
20856s | point flips over for for space |
20858s | station there's going to be a meaningful |
20860s | contest coming through so space station |
20862s | might just get a chance to walk away |
20863s | with this first flash point that they do |
20865s | and we get to go to the next one space |
20868s | station already trying to make their way |
20869s | over with this Lu help can get there |
20871s | faster but it comes down |
20874s | to trying to find this High Ground going |
20876s | in deep with this malga all right |
20878s | there's the SAR they're going to have to |
20880s | deal with sparker though High Noon yeah |
20882s | torn in half by Pelican double kill with |
20885s | the blade almost make that three |
20888s | what's up Swift moves there and a swift |
20889s | blade from Pelican as they wipe space |
20892s | station gaming you're kind of expecting |
20893s | that though liar and the rest of mat8 |
20895s | knew they had the beat advantage and |
20897s | they used that to cap first exactly and |
20900s | now you have to worry about a little bit |
20901s | about Landon's amplification Matrix |
20903s | where they're going to put that down but |
20904s | maybe were able to walk away with the |
20906s | combo that they wanted to and they also |
20908s | have aun rush to actually be able to |
20910s | help deal with that amplification Matrix |
20914s | but where is csyo going with this hul |
20916s | bomb out the ready oh very aggressive |
20918s | cage here comes the window straight in |
20920s | the middle of the cage more than happy |
20921s | to fight in this one Landon standing |
20923s | behind it lasering down H does suffer a |
20926s | swift death though at the hands of |
20928s | ultraviolet psychos not only doing |
20930s | damage but actually capping the point |
20931s | right now you comes back with two though |
20934s | not sure he's going to be able to escape |
20935s | the claws of had though there is the |
20937s | flip from psycho space station gaming |
20940s | eventually take control of the point |
20943s | aggressive play there from HW just |
20944s | running into the back line popping that |
20946s | cage down but I don't think they're |
20947s | expecting that window to come up in the |
20948s | middle of it no but even though they had |
20951s | the rush to be able to try to counteract |
20953s | that as well just wasn't quite enough to |
20954s | be able to push past all that healing as |
20957s | well PSO still holding on to the FSE |
20958s | bomb and now funny Astra actually going |
20960s | to be the one with that s beer Advantage |
20961s | coming into the next this tectonic shock |
20964s | can actually find Value it's |
20966s | struggled and actually just gets taken |
20968s | out drew Dash up The High Ground po the |
20971s | tonic shotgun got popped in the skull |
20975s | now space station gave even easily hand |
20976s | in and now happy has to go back to spawn |
20979s | I mean I wouldn't be surprised we see M |
20980s | change up a little bit here and that |
20982s | they do happy going over to far |
20985s | now trying to deal with sparker it's |
20988s | almost impossible even taking a lot of |
20990s | damage coming out of the spawn this is a |
20992s | combination of DPS I would have loved to |
20993s | see from M earlier though even though |
20995s | Pelican has what we consider the better |
20997s | far between these two players happy |
20999s | still has a comparable one and so you |
21001s | get a chance to now play with the far |
21003s | and the Genji alongside this maot just a |
21005s | little bit more high D output can work |
21008s | together in a little bit of trouble same |
21010s | what happened nice little angle there |
21012s | from sparker he has to be careful Li a |
21015s | little bit more so though saved |
21017s | thankfully by that suzu sound bar comes |
21019s | in Haw ends up going down again at the |
21022s | hands of hard and landed and hard's just |
21024s | sowing him for the fenes overtime in |
21026s | session as M8 try and just Perma touch |
21029s | points but it's going to be tough to do |
21031s | so is Harding is closing in on that |
21033s | shatter but do M8 know an attempted |
21036s | charge there but there is the Al from |
21038s | Hardy does he need to use it I mean I |
21040s | don't think so sparker and psycho |
21042s | running them down and M8 they final |
21045s | chance here to take this map back space |
21048s | station just walking away with this one |
21050s | going to see another switch up here Hawk |
21052s | about the Winston for a second were able |
21054s | to stay alive we been able to get back |
21056s | to the fight a little bit faster but |
21057s | happy switching off of the far to go |
21059s | back to this Tracer Tracer Genji a |
21062s | little bit more dive coming through here |
21064s | different look from M8 they've got the |
21067s | bear and the kitun rush as well as the |
21068s | blade so really nice way to be able to |
21071s | just kind of work with the barrier |
21073s | Advantage knowing that Astra also just |
21075s | used it this blade should be pretty |
21078s | lethal High Ground Control for mat8 but |
21081s | they still have to do with the shadow |
21082s | here comes the blade here comes the |
21083s | Beats spark is the target good couple of |
21085s | boots there try and get him away but he |
21087s | refuses to go down Pelican overextending |
21090s | almost there straight into the back of |
21091s | the window now he has to hide behind |
21093s | this one column gets out of there hardly |
21096s | isolated though by the rest the te pelic |
21098s | basically forcing that interaction with |
21100s | the rest of m8's Front Line space |
21103s | station get the initial capture M8 that |
21106s | that they able to get out of Dodge and |
21108s | they also forced out such a really |
21110s | important combo from M80 the blade the |
21111s | sound bear now off the table ultraviolet |
21114s | does have that ksun rush but with space |
21117s | station also still being able to work |
21118s | with both their DPS ultimates and that |
21120s | barrier from funny Astro there's a lot |
21122s | that they can just kind of push through |
21124s | this Rush with especially when the D B |
21127s | would start this fight off quite well I |
21128s | think from psycho |
21130s | potentially Spar on an off angle or |
21133s | pinned again has to back out so to the |
21135s | rest of space station they got alss to |
21137s | spend but I don't think they want to use |
21139s | it just invest them for another day |
21141s | happy does lose the 1 V one versus |
21143s | psycho but it's all good M8 seeing |
21146s | themselves through this point there's |
21148s | only one more fight realistically here |
21150s | for space station don't die oh that's |
21153s | rough that's a late death super late |
21155s | death I mean for for so at least like |
21157s | you've got funny Astro maybe still |
21158s | waiting there to help taxi you back or |
21161s | just Tracer you can just triple BL get |
21163s | there in time but it's going to be tough |
21165s | going as HTI tries to make the way back |
21168s | able to get the recontest in but for how |
21170s | long as happy is hunting for this pulse |
21172s | bomb |
21173s | Target you have a sound bar at your |
21176s | disposal too there's the stick on the |
21178s | Cassidy insta kill onto sparker allow |
21181s | nowhere to be found how they do end up |
21183s | trading it up a sound barer coming |
21184s | through from space station however this |
21186s | cage is going to be hard to fight into |
21188s | Hardy with no Shield left still manages |
21190s | to come up with the kill though on to |
21191s | have you straight a little bit too close |
21193s | to the Hammer |
21195s | there somehow space station still |
21197s | managed to get the flip not |
21200s | oh jeez he cut his head clean off |
21205s | Pelican saving the day for M80 they get |
21207s | the flip there is the first point for |
21210s | M80 on this flasho map two more they get |
21213s | a chance to keep themselves in this |
21215s | series one more in space station not |
21216s | knock them out move forward in this |
21219s | lower bracket and might still be on the |
21221s | back of pelic yet to get a big opening |
21224s | with thei blade out his disposal sound |
21226s | Bearer coming up the ready two here for |
21228s | liar and not a great answer here for |
21230s | space station quite yet Landing with the |
21232s | amp Matrix though might be able to help |
21234s | keep Hing a bit Yeah they combo it last |
21236s | time that beat in that blade see if they |
21238s | want to do the same thing again land |
21239s | looking for an off angle here comes the |
21241s | beat and the blade to Landon's already |
21243s | dead should be an easy kill here for |
21246s | pelican that shatter just Shrugged it |
21248s | off got back up slashed him in Twain a |
21252s | team kill for |
21253s | M80 it's so difficult to break through |
21255s | all of that over Health on top of the |
21257s | blade plus the cardiac overdrive from |
21258s | that Mala so difficult to actually take |
21262s | any of those pieces out so M80 they get |
21263s | a chance to get control slash Point |
21266s | first another kitsun Rush at the ready |
21269s | as space station make their way back in |
21272s | So ant Matrix a good response to have |
21273s | for that now F Buck is up same with |
21277s | I should use that window to try and find |
21279s | anything in that small room against |
21281s | pelic you can get instant resets M8 |
21285s | coming |
21286s | alive Focus good response of the M |
21289s | Matrix in theory but when you're in that |
21290s | small room there's really not a whole |
21293s | lot that you can do against the fact |
21294s | that the Mala is just going to kind of |
21295s | pum into you felt desperate right put |
21298s | that up hopefully sparker can kind of |
21299s | roll back land a head shot through the |
21301s | window and they can turn that fight |
21303s | around maybe the immortality field saves |
21304s | them in that fight but just not quite |
21306s | enough enough look at happy now sneaking |
21308s | around with that pulse bomb Lon sees him |
21312s | can't necessarily get close lucky that |
21314s | there's a big help |
21316s | there happy looking like a movie extra |
21319s | back there had nothing to say in that |
21321s | fight but psycho wants more just |
21323s | controlling the objective he's going to |
21325s | be a to cap almost H in from Hardy goes |
21327s | a little bit wide there Ultra managing |
21329s | to run away with it psycho gets the kill |
21332s | onto the KIRO but is it enough cardiac |
21335s | overdrive for Hawk keeping himself and |
21337s | the rest of the squad alive as they tie |
21340s | new junk City up they got a lot of |
21342s | ultimates coming into this next one this |
21344s | Fifth and final flash point now opening |
21346s | up if they're able to get this blade in |
21348s | this sound bear combo online before this |
21351s | point gets captured or if they're able |
21353s | to just capture and keep that at their |
21354s | disposal look like that's M's win |
21356s | condition right now space station |
21358s | haven't had a good response to that |
21360s | combination of ultimates just yet raw |
21363s | pick maybe can do it but helin and liar |
21366s | they are both working up to those |
21367s | ultimates so quickly they have that bade |
21369s | in the sound barrier |
21370s | ready look at this aggression now is |
21374s | going in deep into that |
21377s | Rin flash point unlocked psycho taking a |
21380s | little bit of Chunk damage same with |
21381s | happy pul bomb in hands for both well |
21383s | just happy sorry psycho's a little bit |
21385s | further away it's going to get flipped |
21387s | though if M aren't happy there as they |
21389s | do end up dashing on to find the contest |
21394s | sound bar comes in as well as that cage |
21395s | but here comes the blade of the got |
21397s | anything to say to this one happy and |
21398s | Spark just oh they are just getting |
21401s | ruined by |
21403s | Pelican four kills for the Genji make it |
21406s | a fifth funny astroo narrowly gets out |
21409s | of there as |
21411s | M8 hitting seventh eighth gear at this |
21415s | point that was a very expensive fight |
21417s | but it was so worthwhile because take a |
21419s | look at what they were able to get out |
21420s | of space station that was three |
21421s | ultimates they wiped off the board |
21423s | knowing that they were able to expend |
21424s | the four that they did blade barrier not |
21426s | avail now for to work with but they've |
21429s | been able to play around this |
21430s | amplification major from Landing so well |
21432s | where it can actually be able to find |
21434s | purchase in this next fight and psycho's |
21436s | being marked two on this Tracer a bit |
21439s | harder here to slay a super off angle |
21441s | Rush coming in fairly early from M M80 |
21444s | want to make sure Lon can't get a |
21446s | priority window up and sparker again the |
21448s | target it's been rough for space station |
21450s | over these last few points sparker |
21452s | hasn't really been himself it feels like |
21455s | oh a pin from Hardy sails off the edge |
21457s | with h that's a one for one but will |
21460s | matter sparker switching in spawn it's |
21463s | only Astro alive he's going of be hard |
21465s | to get touch here but M80 trying to |
21466s | Snuff him out oh look at that oh |
21469s | actually sees it slver of HP able to |
21471s | actually make it off the point but sper |
21472s | going to have to make it back with a |
21473s | roll out on the Venture I don't think |
21475s | it's going to happen though Rose at all |
21477s | M8 coming back so clutch the pulse bomb |
21481s | in the hand of happy straight on the |
21483s | back of party oh there's no chance now |
21486s | and as M80 come back a 3-2 on new junk |
21493s | city and what looked to be space station |
21497s | rolling over them they level |
21501s | up big reverse sweep on that back with |
21504s | those flash |
21506s | points off to a very very good start but |
21509s | I think M80 they don't want to go home |
21511s | just yet we've got a true series on our |
21514s | hands playing a little bit quicker as |
21515s | well us rush to really get in the face |
21518s | one thing that's been so good for space |
21519s | station is setting up these windows |
21521s | setting up spark on on and off angle it |
21523s | felt like halfway through that new junk |
21526s | City it it just turned on its head M8 |
21529s | were able to shut them down before they |
21530s | were able to set Landing up set sparker |
21533s | up well they found their momentum they |
21535s | found their momentum that they wanted |
21536s | with those Genji blades as well as those |
21538s | sound barriers so difficult to actually |
21540s | chew through that combo and yeah Pelican |
21543s | sharpen sharpen the sword oh yeah pel |
21546s | play don't mind me some ofat Lu a little |
21549s | bit more Genji I mean maybe we're going |
21551s | to push now as our final game type here |
21555s | one final map going all the way I told |
21558s | you it was going to happen this being an |
21560s | elimination game as well no one wants to |
21561s | go home here want to try once again to |
21564s | try and face one of those Korean teams |
21566s | up in the uh winners brackets it's going |
21568s | to be a hard fought battle but first |
21570s | they need to win here here's a |
21571s | head-to-head sparker versus Pelican from |
21573s | the last map yeah I mean Pelican playing |
21576s | the genj G sparker playing the Cassidy |
21579s | not an super fair comparison I think |
21582s | there when you take a look at how much |
21583s | heal also Pelican was getting with a lot |
21585s | of those elips from the |
21587s | plates initially it looks so good from |
21589s | space station just again their pacing |
21592s | was so |
21593s | nice see if he can change it up in push |
21597s | pelic plays just incredible a lot of |
21599s | these fights end up coming becoming very |
21601s | Scrappy towards the end of things very |
21603s | easy for the Baptist if you can kind of |
21605s | stay alive and rotate your cool Downs if |
21606s | you get if you can get like one large |
21608s | rotation of cool Downs off like another |
21610s | lamp in the middle of the fight or |
21612s | another regenerative burst like you |
21614s | become so powerful you can really Aid in |
21617s | these kills Genji sometimes a little bit |
21619s | rough to play when you can't find the |
21621s | resets but Pelican just God he makes it |
21623s | easy something that was really difficult |
21625s | too though for space station is they |
21626s | didn't there was always a sound beer |
21629s | Advantage for a team right and it just |
21631s | didn't ever really go the way of space |
21633s | station in a lot of those fights so M80 |
21635s | being able to get most of that whether |
21637s | it was with like the sound bear top of |
21639s | the blade or even just the cardiac |
21640s | overdrive that provides so much value to |
21642s | the team which is something that space |
21644s | station just doesn't have you can see |
21646s | space station as well playing with full |
21648s | confidence they're willing to invest the |
21650s | sound barrier in 4V Fs in situations |
21653s | that you might not want to invest maybe |
21655s | you lose one you're like okay we can |
21656s | quickly go again if we can just |
21658s | disengage but they're more than happy if |
21661s | M80 try and push them to the Limit |
21663s | they're willing to match them there but |
21665s | a couple of those fights like you said |
21667s | when the Beats ended up coming out they |
21669s | end up just falling over either to a |
21671s | cage the cardiac overdrive just helping |
21673s | mat8 see themselves through the rest of |
21675s | the fight let's go uh quickly over to an |
21679s | interview um from that I did oh yeah oh |
21682s | yeah the space station interview I did |
21683s | the other day yeah I forgot about that |
21685s | let's have a let's have a little |
21688s | look my name is Jor once again here with |
21691s | a space station this time around here at |
21694s | owcs Dallas major do you want to call |
21696s | Qui give a little rundown about who you |
21698s | guys are space station European |
21700s | Superstar team word on the street is the |
21703s | Korean teams are going to basically |
21704s | dominate the whole thing and they're not |
21705s | going to take any prisoners yeah I don't |
21707s | think there's a way that Korea are |
21709s | making it off this tournament especially |
21711s | Falcons I don't think they're good at |
21713s | all crazy raccoon they might have |
21715s | something like they're a good team but |
21717s | Falcons I don't think they got that in |
21719s | them what's the most fraudulent region |
21722s | then that was the easiest answer of all |
21725s | time na should only have |
21726s | yeah yeah I mean like like like Toronto |
21728s | would have gotten like third in EO third |
21731s | place yeah definitely I mean they've got |
21733s | all the money in the world like they can |
21734s | pick up the star players and they've |
21735s | still managed to be mid |
21738s | so we might see some retirements from |
21740s | M80 after this tournament some |
21742s | retirement okay keep your eyes |
21745s | open what do you feel about your first |
21747s | game against students in the game is |
21748s | that going to be like a clean sweep it's |
21750s | like a warm-up game a little warm up |
21752s | there's a reason we're on the second |
21753s | stream so how do you feel about like the |
21755s | mental game coming in I mean na being a |
21757s | bit quiet and stuff like you're going to |
21758s | be able to win the minute Warfare in the |
21759s | server too a little bit of smack talk I |
21762s | love typing in game yeah exactly getting |
21764s | to type back and get in their heads |
21765s | it'll be great I mean EU especially as a |
21767s | whole is just so good at typing yeah na |
21769s | na and Korea can't match it um I do want |
21771s | to ask as well who has the best Texas |
21773s | accent I do partner that's reallyy good |
21776s | we'll do one more it's High Noon it's |

21846s | we'll see you out thank |
21850s | you welcome |
21852s | back a great interview not bad a couple |
21855s | of last two hits as well I like that a |
21856s | lot I think that was the team that has |
21858s | had the most so far yeah I think so |
21861s | easily easily all right let's jump in |
21864s | fifth and final map here for mat8 and |
21866s | space station gaming in the lower |
21867s | bracket loser here goes home new Queen |
21871s | Street is the pick new Queen Street is |
21874s | not a push map that we see very often a |
21877s | lot of teams opting to either play |
21878s | esperansa or we get a chance to see |
21881s | coloso but new Queen Street this might |
21884s | just happen to be a map that chops some |
21886s | teams up maybe a little bit less |
21889s | practice yeah definitely coming out of |
21891s | left field like you said we don't see it |
21893s | too |
21894s | often Nat going to change here coming |
21897s | into this I mean happy currently |
21899s | hovering at the S you have a hwk on the |
21905s | ramp no malga right now but it could it |
21908s | could become one depending on how they |
21910s | feel like the cards may fall but both of |
21912s | these teams as these Gates unlock know |
21914s | that their tournament lives are on the |
21916s | line and for both sparker and happy it's |
21919s | all going to come down to these long |
21920s | range sight lines happy wanting to pick |
21922s | up the soldier we know how deadly he can |
21924s | be with a hero like that but sparker |
21926s | taking to the tried and true that cidy |
21929s | really help out with some of these |
21930s | closer |
21932s | engagements take a look happy though |
21934s | these rail gun charges are going to get |
21935s | charged up very very quickly with this |
21937s | Reinhardt in the |
21938s | way can also check the Tracer too worth |
21941s | keeping in mind one raun head shot send |
21944s | your pack in very defensive lab already |
21947s | used by Landon nice of mat8 to kind of |
21949s | force that one out but they are going to |
21951s | take High Ground position M8 stolen the |
21953s | bot for the time being oh that boot bomb |
21955s | has landed hardly off the map but I |
21957s | think your backline needs a little bit |
21959s | of help M8 May and UltraViolet just run |
21962s | down that's the problem with the mat's c |
21965s | right or any kind comp you play against |
21967s | space station you show a tiny bit of |
21970s | space between your front and back line |
21971s | they're just going to get run at and |
21973s | there is no chance to surviv us yeah |
21975s | Ultra viol was just on his own liar just |
21977s | unable to be able to come to his Aid to |
21980s | skate him out of there so hotti being |
21982s | able to seize that Advantage we have to |
21984s | keep paying attention to how many |
21985s | opportunities hottie finds heble to go |
21987s | pin that backline team with that amid |
21991s | were able to make a little bit of |
21992s | progress there with that push bot but |
21994s | not before space station are able to |
21995s | take back control do take a look at the |
21998s | ultimates coming online sparker has been |
22000s | doing so much damage a de eye and ant |
22002s | Matrix ready to go for space station |
22005s | yeah they're in the perfect place to use |
22006s | it as |
22009s | well AI looking to cause a little bit of |
22012s | panic on the left hand side for Hawk he |
22014s | Happ to play so passive almost forcing |
22016s | Hawk into the sideline as well of that |
22020s | Cassidy could sparker maybe trying to |
22022s | take an angle over in the train car |
22025s | little bit EAS easier just kind of |
22026s | strafe back and forth there but look at |
22028s | the window use so early underneath no |
22031s | window yet from ultraviolet as an answer |
22034s | I mean they're going to Wi swing this |
22035s | but m going to mash him just going to |
22037s | wrap around them on that Mega health |
22038s | pack using the window of their own s |
22040s | comes through trying to match this rail |
22042s | gun hard with the pin does he survive of |
22045s | course he does gets the lamp hits the |
22047s | shatter ultra violet liar for all of |
22050s | their |
22051s | box so much follow up from the rest of |
22054s | the team how that Earth sh and despite |
22056s | the fact that he lost his own life in |
22058s | that fight maybe even for the better |
22061s | actually switches off of the Reinhardt |
22062s | goes over to the ratra as space station |
22064s | start to make their approach onto this |
22066s | very first objective touch coming in |
22068s | from Pelican just to be able to stall |
22070s | and stop that push but before ends up |
22073s | reaching that objective but now we see |
22075s | Hawk ready to go with this Annihilation |
22077s | Pelican as well with this false bomb and |
22079s | the barrier advantage in Liar's hands as |
22083s | a need to try to get themselves back |
22084s | into the 7even minutes left on the clock |
22086s | though so a lot of time left to play |
22089s | with lot of time not a lot of charge for |
22091s | Hardy of course like you mentioned only |
22093s | just switching over to the |
22096s | r |
22098s | cheeky there no high ground |
22102s | though pushes them back sparker not |
22105s | really going to be able to maybe find so |
22107s | much purchase with that dead eyee see |
22110s | mat's game plan too they want to make |
22112s | sure Spar can't set up on High Ground |
22113s | again sound Ro already used by Spark |
22116s | there as they try and just dip out of |
22118s | there hardi receives the lamp to make |
22120s | sure he stays alive nice hind on to |
22122s | happy but it's going to get healed up |
22123s | pretty quick sharp H in the front line |
22126s | with the annihilation surgent but kept |
22128s | alive with a lamp of his own ultraviolet |
22130s | saving him just for a brief moment |
22133s | ultimate not really finding all too much |
22135s | as they now take the fight to the stairs |
22137s | no hog was forced to just play on the |
22138s | defensive with that ultimate do not how |
22140s | you want to play with the annihilation |
22141s | happy one HP too look at the tickling |
22143s | help trigging heal bares of M8 right now |
22145s | they need desperate hell space station |
22148s | not on the hand looking |
22151s | golden easy team here making sure he |
22154s | doesn't get taken out either oh the bots |
22156s | in their position and they are |
22159s | smooth back in their home field now able |
22162s | to be able to get this checkpoint going |
22164s | to help unlock those closer spawns as |
22166s | well for space station and keep this C |
22168s | going with the sound Bearer from funny |
22171s | Astro 2 not a bad way to continue to |
22173s | snowball some of this momentum I mean |
22175s | this is massive for space station right |
22177s | now look at the ultimates coming up they |
22179s | got pulse Annihilation sound barrier |
22181s | they can even if they want it they can |
22182s | just beat him with the annihilation and |
22184s | just roll them |
22186s | oh early window from M8 and he still |
22189s | might go for it Rose they've done it |
22190s | before they could do it again they |
22191s | always got to be careful Spar on the |
22192s | flank Astro goes down can he win the One |
22194s | V one happy needs to pay attention to |
22196s | two different angles at this point spark |
22199s | still takes care of it takes care of Li |
22201s | too oh not |
22203s | quite not quite but still a very good |
22206s | effort here and still the lead for space |
22209s | asan as we enter into the halfway point |
22211s | of this map am now able to start to make |
22213s | some meaningful progress here but it's |
22216s | been a little bit slow to get going |
22217s | space station able to hold on to four |
22219s | all four of those ultimates by the way |
22220s | from that last fight have a lot to be |
22222s | able to attack this next one with really |
22225s | looking at liar to try to get the sound |
22226s | Bearer on line as just a good answer to |
22228s | some of those things that you can't stop |
22230s | everything with just that one ultimate |
22232s | either let's see what sparker dead ey |
22234s | can give us |
22236s | little H canels it early rolls back up |
22239s | onto this High Ground now where happy is |
22241s | trying to make a home for himself he's |
22244s | right on the edge oh there he goes off |
22246s | The High Ground with that Vortex drags |
22248s | him right |
22250s | down slowly but surely sparker trying to |
22252s | set up here false P oh Li didn't see |
22256s | that one coming who's hiding in the |
22257s | trees and that Annihilation from hard is |
22260s | just too much to bear for |
22262s | M8 another team fight swinging in their |
22265s | Direction and such a good angle that |
22267s | Spar was able toly from the train car |
22269s | after they were able to bully M off of |
22272s | that be having to give off those |
22274s | Sidelines now Pelican though making a |
22276s | switch going over to the Genji this was |
22279s | so good for them in that last map to be |
22282s | able to bring us even to this map five |
22285s | there's the high noon with a speed boost |
22286s | too oh they're trying to get Hardy pops |
22289s | pretty much everything to stay alive and |
22291s | happy has to run out of there that |
22292s | soundar a little bit too terrifying for |
22294s | him lands a nice hinted neighor where's |
22296s | the follow up where's the damage once |
22297s | again Landing spark just popping down |
22299s | this window but the B is running away |
22301s | from them good steal from M8 then really |
22305s | good to be able to bring it back to the |
22306s | neutral but Hawk giving him a chance to |
22309s | also come back into this one but not |
22310s | before happy and Ultra VI are taken out |
22312s | so the fight still goes the way of space |
22314s | station makes it a little bit harder for |
22316s | them to actually extend their lead so |
22318s | good job to M8 to doing that but |
22321s | ultraviolet just coming back online liar |
22324s | as well still having to come out of |
22325s | spawn it's going to be on Hawk with this |
22327s | Annihilation hoping to get anything done |
22329s | here and sarker is a dead eye again and |
22332s | make it more difficult for hwk to |
22334s | actually approach oh man that's rough |
22336s | use Nemesis for there pops it gets back |
22340s | on to The High Ground but his checkpoint |
22342s | is just such a massive Boon for space |
22344s | station and if or wants to go aggressive |
22346s | here like you said Rose is going to have |
22348s | to match with the Dead Eye oh so much |
22351s | damage happ's isolated get gets pulse |
22353s | bomb there's a lamp thrown out the wall |
22356s | helps ha out for the time being but look |
22358s | at the team they're so split even L now |
22360s | getting focused by psycho calls that |
22361s | he's one but he finishes the job himself |
22364s | ultraviolet now in a whole heat of hurt |
22367s | that Annihilation from hwk doing |
22369s | absolutely nothing moving like an |
22372s | endangered species right now as he goes |
22375s | extinct space station gaming now looking |
22377s | to finish here 2 minutes to go and the B |
22380s | is still moving such a late Annihilation |
22383s | from Hawk as well hoping that it would |
22384s | be enough to turn the tide but also just |
22386s | expending the ultimate to switch over to |
22389s | the sigma so yet another instance where |
22391s | we get a chance to see these tanks try |
22393s | to counteract each other Sigma going to |
22395s | be the hero of choice as this pushbot |
22398s | inches closer and closer to the end Jaws |
22401s | it's going to be the ant Matrix here for |
22402s | space station see if they can just close |
22403s | it out here just disgusting angle on |
22405s | this hand Matrix too s comes in where's |
22409s | the post there it is Happy pooped up in |
22410s | the skies isolated completely oh they |
22413s | are just running over them a full |
22416s | completion in sight M8 just stopped on |
22419s | by space station blade from Pelicans the |
22421s | only saving grace that they have but he |
22423s | has quickly dealt with a full cap for |
22427s | space station in their sights now as H |
22430s | gets dominated and space station |
22434s | gaming they find the Victory and |
22437s | continue their run in the lower |
22439s | [Applause] |
22443s | brackets what a statement |
22446s | that they just made with a full cap on a |
22448s | push map we don't get a chance to see |
22450s | very often new Queen Street not |
22452s | necessarily the push map of choice for a |
22455s | lot of teams but made it so |
22459s | impressive just denying M8 there at the |
22462s | very end that flasho map was a little |
22464s | reverse sweep by them the mental you're |
22467s | thinking is going a little bit low but |
22469s | there all smiles across the board always |
22471s | for space station they take the map take |
22474s | the series |
22476s | they move on M8 eliminated from the |
22479s | competition not as close as Hardy |
22481s | predicted but a win is a win a win is a |
22484s | win and M8 is a hard opponent to have to |
22487s | beat this is a team full of exceptional |
22490s | players that we've all come to know and |
22492s | love from their time in the OverWatch |
22494s | league and just being able to see them |
22496s | as a squad together has been so |
22497s | impressive for North America it has |
22500s | unfortunately we're going to have to bow |
22501s | our heads and say goodbye to M80 now |
22505s | Rose space station gaming I mean they've |
22508s | made a few more fans here today that is |
22509s | for sure if they didn't have enough |
22512s | all and we're going to jump over to |
22515s | Danny Dan on oh wait no not just yet in |
22518s | a second we'll get that interview lined |
22519s | up for you but now space station just |
22521s | continuing that run in the lowers I'm |
22523s | excited to see how the uppers end up |
22525s | turning out Rose cuz they're going to |
22526s | have to face one of Falcons or crazy |
22528s | raccoons at some point that's going to |
22530s | be such a tough one I mean I think all |
22532s | of these teams are hoping that they |
22533s | don't have to hit the Korean teams until |
22535s | much later in the tournament but you're |
22537s | going to have to beat them to join them |
22539s | up on those up for tables oh yes indeed |
22542s | space station they got the will they got |
22544s | the way especially in this round they |
22545s | got the tenacity as well let's get a |
22547s | quick listening though to the winning |
22549s | coms of that final |
22557s | map we're going to go Dan instead go |
22561s | Danny thank you J hi everybody I'm here |
22564s | with the Porsche performance of the |
22566s | match winner it is none other than |
22568s | chatty from space station |
22570s | [Music] |
22571s | [Applause] |
22578s | gaming you're you're a fan favorite why |
22581s | is that why are you so |
22584s | popular because you're the because |
22585s | you're the go guess I guess so you're |
22588s | definitely you're definitely the go um I |
22590s | do want to ask you about this match I |
22592s | believe this is some some sort of it is |
22594s | an upset and I do feel like M80 sort of |
22596s | had the upper hand but you guys did get |
22598s | the win very close match as well so what |
22600s | what were the winning conditions uh for |
22602s | space station gaming I don't know so at |
22604s | the start we were like really on like |
22607s | the sigma comp we were like okay we're |
22608s | going to counter the MGA with the sigma |
22611s | comp keep our rest on the Comfort Heroes |
22613s | but then uh when we were playing the |
22616s | Midtown when we were playing the Midtown |
22618s | liar posted in the chat that Sigma is |
22620s | not the play like he was he was [ __ ] |
22622s | talking us but I actually took that |
22624s | Constructor of criticism and I was like |
22627s | maybe there's another pick here and I |
22629s | thought about a hero that never let me |
22630s | down you know Reinhardt yeah and |
22633s | I and I and I realized Ry just solves |
22637s | everything and it just got us the |
22639s | victory easily I mean yeah you that |
22641s | you're I I feel like space station |
22642s | gaming even in the past like the Ry uh |
22645s | Ryan composition that Rush composition |
22647s | always came in clutch do you feel like |
22648s | you could continue to rely on that |
22651s | composition uh even going towards uh |
22653s | more more games yeah yeah I think I |
22656s | think we can I think it can I think we |
22657s | really found something here and I think |
22659s | it's going to be good all right and one |
22661s | final question your next opponents are |
22663s | going to be of course the winner of uh |
22664s | Toronto or ends who do you think is |
22666s | going to move up and become your |
22668s | opponent I mean I hope it's going to be |
22670s | ends but I think it's going to be |
22672s | Toronto unfortunately I mean I think |
22675s | Toronto we still going to beat them but |
22678s | would have loved to play was the EU boys |
22680s | but we will see all right everybody give |
22682s | it one more time from hardi from space |
22684s | station gaming that is it for us let's |
22687s | head back to the de for winning |
22689s | moment thank you so much Dan like to |
22692s | hear from the goat let's take a look at |
22694s | some of those highlights once more |
22697s | before we're breaking it down and also |
22700s | let's hear the winning |
22711s | moments9 giving punch guys I'm sorry |
22713s | cast right side cast |
22715s | [Laughter] |
22720s | I'm giving punch guys I'm sorry you're |
22722s | not supposed to give Doom power punch |
22723s | the 's like we can't lose this guys I'm |
22725s | giving him Power Punch give him |
22726s | something I love HTI oh again this was |
22728s | the closest series we had thus far in |
22730s | this tournament um also you can see |
22732s | there's two type of fans here clearly |
22736s | wait what you got that's it okay that's |
22738s | it well you know what if you're not a |
22740s | fan of at least our uh poror sh |
22742s | performance of the match play R hard |
22744s | then I don't know what you're doing with |
22746s | your life to be honest I love how he |
22748s | said in the interview with Danny that uh |
22750s | and then we swapped to Reinhard and I |
22752s | think we really found something as if |
22753s | they only just discovered we discovered |
22755s | that we're good at Reinhardt there's two |
22756s | types of fans soe yeah there's Winston |
22759s | and there's not Winston and you know I |
22761s | know what side I'm on winon OverWatch |
22763s | wion OverWatch this is actually a space |
22765s | station winon and they're doing a |
22766s | giveaway at their Booth tomorrow so be |
22768s | there here we go here you go we just |
22770s | can't get enough a body apparently i r |
22774s | yeah |
22775s | performance for performance of the match |
22778s | this is really interesting though I I do |
22779s | want to talk and touch on the |
22781s | compositions that we've seen here and |
22782s | also just the way those teams play I |
22784s | mean we know that space station gaming |
22786s | they''re been relying on their team |
22788s | Synergy and their team play all |
22791s | throughout owcs thus far it is what has |
22793s | gotten them so far and it's what makes |
22797s | them look so good so even though if |
22798s | you're facing off against an M80 which |
22800s | obviously has like you know pop off |
22802s | players like a happy like a pelican but |
22804s | if the team play isn't quite on point |
22806s | you're looking you're looking like |
22807s | you're struggling against a team like |
22809s | space station gaming yeah I think |
22811s | honestly that last map taking the rush |
22813s | miror it's a lot of confidence from M8 |
22815s | but I think it's misplaced I think you |
22816s | just played into Space Station's hands |
22818s | taking well you played Ram into Ry but |
22820s | then AI just takes the mirror for me it |
22823s | was the malp I think this is the way to |
22824s | beat space station gaming I think em |
22826s | actually figured it out on flasho as |
22828s | soon as happy got off the Venture I |
22830s | think the Tracer Genji actually should |
22832s | easily win this match up I think Ryan is |
22834s | really great against Venture basically a |
22835s | hard counter to venture very easy to |
22837s | stuff the ultimate very easy if you have |
22839s | shatter you CC The Venture can't use |
22841s | their skills easy to pick off for me the |
22843s | r is actually a great response to the |
22845s | Venture but Falcons has already showed |
22847s | us this you just go Tracer Genji |
22849s | whenever the Venture is not getting as |
22850s | much value against greedy Heroes like |
22852s | Sig where you can go past him and just |
22854s | ignore him but you just go Tracer such a |
22856s | more consistent hero flash point was an |
22858s | easy comeback for M once they brought |
22859s | out this hero They just won every single |
22862s | fight for the rest of the map I I think |
22863s | this is M honestly threw this series |
22865s | away from my perspective I think |
22866s | strategically they found the answer on |
22868s | flasho should have kept it rolling on a |
22870s | new Queen Street but they were |
22872s | overconfident in the end taking the rush |
22873s | mirror wanting to beat SSG at their own |
22876s | game Pride cometh before the fall soe I |
22879s | think also as well like hard was talking |
22881s | about maybe this something we can use |
22882s | for the future maybe we can play |
22883s | Reinhardt later on in the tournament I |
22885s | just think that if you look at the Asia |
22887s | teams as well like Falcons C raccoon |
22889s | they just play MAA way better as well |
22892s | more so than made it did here and I |
22894s | think I if you playing like a MAA |
22896s | against a Reinhardt they're just going |
22897s | to play that that match up differently |
22899s | and so I don't think that space station |
22901s | necessarily can get away playing this |
22903s | rinard further in the tournament I still |
22905s | think that Sigma most ofly is probably |
22907s | the answer or trying to fight an |
22908s | alternative on the MAA but that being |
22910s | said space station they're so |
22911s | comfortable playing this Reinhard it's |
22913s | going to serve them good probably |
22914s | against either s or turn to defiant |
22917s | that's where I think where you can |
22917s | really lean on the Reinhard perhaps but |
22919s | against some of the Asian teams I think |
22920s | it's going to be quite difficult so you |
22922s | don't think that those Reinhardt |
22923s | compositions will be able to force a |
22925s | team Falcons or crazy raccoons off the |
22927s | Venture at the very least I mean it can |
22929s | force them off the Venture but they |
22930s | don't care The Venture is not the point |
22931s | of the composition right Venture is |
22933s | great in some spots but we're talking |
22935s | about some of the most flexible DPS in |
22936s | the game it's not like oh no stalker he |
22939s | has to play Tracer oh that's going to be |
22940s | he's not so Tracer like I mean I I feel |
22944s | like M8 even found the answer in the |
22946s | series I'm honestly disappointed in them |
22947s | that they found the answer it looked |
22949s | great they brought it back on flasho and |
22951s | then I really feel like they just wanted |
22953s | to beat SSG at their own game but on map |
22956s | five to take a gamble like that I mean |
22958s | it is new Queen Street it's a longrange |
22959s | map maybe it's hard to connect with the |
22961s | Mala you know I can see it it's a unique |
22963s | map we haven't seen much of before but I |
22964s | would have love to see them at least try |
22966s | to keep making that Malo work because |
22968s | once they brought out the Tracer Genji |
22969s | it was it was smooth sailing let's |
22971s | actually take a look at the bracket here |
22972s | because SSG obviously Staying Alive here |
22975s | whilst we had to say goodbye to the star |
22977s | sted M80 and now space station gaming |
22980s | they're waiting for their next opponent |
22981s | it's going to be either end or Toronto |
22983s | Define and that is the next match we |
22986s | will be watching here on this very main |
22988s | stage I'm going to be very interested to |
22990s | see what both of those teams are going |
22991s | to be bringing to the table in their |
22993s | elimination match with the backs against |
22996s | the wall which team will persevere do |
22998s | you feel like there's a clear favorite |
22999s | here I mean I would take Toronto to F |
23002s | all day I think the flexibility they |
23003s | have is really unmatched but I think an |
23006s | they're really their claim to fame here |
23007s | is I think they might be one of the best |
23009s | Sigma teams in this tournament I think |
23010s | that's where Bola has looked Head and |
23012s | Shoulders above the competition but for |
23014s | me I mean I'm thinking back this NS team |
23016s | even struggled against NRG when it came |
23018s | to like playing okay they got forced to |
23020s | a jalter forced to play a Winston map |
23022s | and I mean come on you're talking about |
23023s | this is NRG versus Toronto defiant |
23025s | you're going to be playing some more |
23026s | wins if you win a map as NS guess I mean |
23029s | it's very obvious where they're going to |
23030s | take you they're going to force fola out |
23032s | of this comfort zone this hybrid and |
23034s | escort map picks if you can survive |
23035s | those map picks if you can get into |
23037s | those final the most likely going to be |
23039s | push and flasho maybe there's a way to |
23041s | to win with the sigma in the end but I |
23043s | just think Toronto's flexibility is |
23045s | going to be a real it's going to really |
23046s | attack the Achilles heal of ends which |
23048s | is that they're relying fully on vas off |
23050s | tank yeah it's a long series though and |
23052s | I think if you are ends you're probably |
23053s | betting that hopefully you can win out |
23055s | game modes like flas point for example |
23057s | or push that maybe favor a bit more some |
23059s | kind of brawl compositions right so |
23060s | maybe you can like try to win those maps |
23062s | and then you know if you get taken |
23063s | through jalter escort it's a bit of a |
23065s | watch we don't really have the perfect |
23066s | tank in Bola to win those type of maps |
23069s | but I still think at NC Sports they |
23070s | still have a pretty good chance against |
23071s | thto def even though th def in my mind |
23073s | are the favorites that's right well as |
23075s | the players are getting ready we will |
23077s | head into a quick break and then |
23078s | afterwards the three of us will set the |
23080s | stage for our last match of the day |
23083s | stick around |

23548s | with them as well if you're down on the |
23550s | floor there's plenty to see plenty to do |
23552s | one of the things to do is of course |
23554s | watch some incredible OverWatch and we |
23555s | got just looking for you another |
23558s | elimination game we have to say goodbye |
23561s | to yet another team uh I'm going to be |
23563s | very interested to see which one it will |
23565s | be I think looking at the matchup here |
23568s | ands and Toronto Define Toronto Define |
23570s | has to be considered a favorite It Is by |
23572s | many they were supposedly the team who |
23575s | can take it to the Korean rosters today |
23578s | not yet well first of all they have to |
23581s | fight their way back up through the |
23582s | lower bracket but let's look at who's in |
23584s | their way ANS ANS is the team to beat |
23587s | here what were your thoughts thus far on |
23589s | an's performance I mean ANS so far the |
23591s | only team to have anything other than a |
23594s | map loss to team Falcons they were able |
23596s | to secure a draw on the Bonnie partially |
23598s | through heroics from somebody like |
23600s | kevster Kai as well putting in big work |
23603s | I think a lot of pressure though in this |
23604s | series will be on the tank Vesta he came |
23607s | out and looked amazing for team Finland |
23609s | in the World Cup his Sigma I think one |
23611s | of the very best in the world but can he |
23613s | make his Comfort picks work against a |
23615s | team in Toronto defiant that has |
23617s | consistently found and exploited the |
23619s | weaknesses of every opponent who's gone |
23621s | up against yeah and I feel like when it |
23622s | comes to ends as well they have so much |
23624s | name value on this roster obviously some |
23625s | like big time veterans on this roster |
23627s | who's played in some amazing tournaments |
23629s | in the past right so we're kind of |
23631s | waiting for this team to truly click and |
23633s | play really well alt together obviously |
23634s | kevster can be a top tier damage player |
23637s | who can take it to some of the best in |
23638s | the world whoever you're discussing |
23640s | there really as well as Kai you know |
23642s | Legend who's been around the scene now |
23643s | for many many many years and taken some |
23646s | incredible hits get performances |
23647s | throughout the years against some of the |
23649s | best right so you really want to see |
23650s | ends out easts come out here and click |
23652s | and just play their best game all at the |
23654s | same time ghost N1 has been really |
23656s | excited to watch here on the batist and |
23657s | I I feel like for the past 6 months |
23659s | really ghost night1 has had a |
23661s | spectacular batist that is going to Aid |
23663s | this team in this series specifically it |
23665s | is a bit of a limitation that we don't |
23667s | see this team Flex enough there is going |
23669s | to be a lot of AA Sigma there's going to |
23670s | be a lot of ghost 91 batist and a lot of |
23672s | Mara Lucio right so that is what this |
23674s | team does best that is a limitation of |
23676s | theirs but still they're so mechanic |
23678s | skill they're such good individuals that |
23680s | all all these special Heroes of theirs |
23682s | they can really come out here and put up |
23683s | a good fight against norance the thing |
23685s | is that potential lack of flexibility |
23688s | especially in the tank Department can |
23690s | really hurt him because they're going up |
23691s | against the Toronto Define and if we're |
23692s | looking at the tank Department there |
23694s | well someone can just play it all like |
23696s | they're not going to be limited |
23698s | whatsoever in what they want to play how |
23700s | they can approach it they can counter |
23702s | swap for days it's not even a problem |
23704s | yeah they're a team that has |
23705s | consistently used that to their |
23706s | advantage whatever your opponent's |
23708s | weakest comp is well you better be ready |
23709s | to play it cuz that's what toron is |
23711s | going to make you play if you want to |
23712s | have a compositional Advantage you're |
23714s | going to be taking it to your worst |
23715s | Heroes against Tron def Fant they always |
23717s | they're ready for their opponents they |
23719s | research them well and they put them |
23720s | into a corner this team in Tron of Def |
23722s | fight there's a reason they're the |
23723s | number one seed in Na and frankly that's |
23726s | with a few exclamation points no one in |
23728s | na has really I mean other than when |
23730s | they had a couple players sick they lost |
23732s | M80 came back in the grand finals and |
23733s | just wiped them off the face of the |
23735s | Earth partially due to Merit his |
23737s | ridiculous performances on hit scan Vega |
23740s | as well on your screen right now this is |
23741s | one of the most exciting rookies out of |
23743s | Na I think the best main support in the |
23745s | region by a pretty good margin he looked |
23748s | even pretty good for me even against |
23750s | crazy raccoon yeah he had an Ajax on the |
23751s | second map but he was continuing to be |
23753s | aggressive even as the series got really |
23755s | difficult continuing to find kills yeah |
23756s | and even though they find themselves in |
23757s | the lower bracket I still think based on |
23759s | their previous Series today they have |
23761s | that kind of like Aura to them you still |
23763s | feel like they're in the mix they you |
23765s | still feel like they can adapt |
23766s | accordingly to how the Met is evolving |
23768s | if we're going to see a lot of MAA I |
23769s | don't think necessarily that is a big |
23771s | problem for this team we saw them come |
23773s | out they're willing to play these far |
23774s | compositions too so when it comes to how |
23776s | the Met is developing I don't think this |
23778s | team is going to have a big problem I |
23779s | could very much see them going back to |
23781s | the room after L saying hi hey how are |
23783s | we going to improvise how are we going |
23785s | to change up our compositions how are we |
23787s | going to adapt our play and going into |
23788s | this series having a fresh look because |
23790s | of their flexibility right and perhaps |
23792s | with that they can give themselves a leg |
23794s | up against the competition so I'm pretty |
23796s | confident that this turn to the final |
23797s | Squad I think they have a good chance |
23799s | here today and are looking forward for |
23800s | the rest of the tournament I mean they |
23801s | look deadly yes they suffered that loss |
23803s | but I mean certainly not for a lack of |
23805s | skill they almost managed to win on on |
23808s | circuit there it just was crazy raccoon |
23812s | absolutely refusing to lose somehow |
23815s | eding it out but uh we saw a lot of pop |
23817s | up moments from Meritt on the Cassidy |
23820s | and whatnot which of the players do you |
23821s | feel like have to step it up for this |
23823s | one I think there's going to be a little |
23825s | bit of pressure on Meritt if there's |
23827s | anyone on this squad who could have |
23829s | trouble against Heroes like Bap Sigma |
23831s | Diva right like these are 's Bren and |
23833s | butter Heroes and to be fair they're |
23835s | quite good against Hit scan right in the |
23836s | past with Falcons we saw them completely |
23838s | not using hit scan that was what enabled |
23840s | them to kind of get past this doola |
23842s | Sigma not having any backline at all for |
23844s | Sigma to really contest Meritt almost |
23846s | always locks in the hit scan I mean he's |
23847s | incredibly good on the role I want to |
23849s | emphasize that he can make this work if |
23851s | you give him any kind of opening but we |
23853s | need to see an incredible performance |
23855s | out of Mayor today that's right well we |
23857s | see that in just a little bit because |
23859s | we're ready is our audience ready are |
23861s | you ready for the last game of |
23862s | today that's what I saw so let's get our |
23866s | teams out |
23867s | Donnie Dre Dre Dallas put your hands |
23870s | together |
23877s | for our runnerup in stage one and stage |
23881s | two of owcs EMA coming here fighting for |
23885s | the hopes of EMA can they put it all |
23887s | together now when it matters in the |
23889s | lower bracket some absolute stars on |
23891s | this roster tster of course a hyper Flex |
23893s | who can play every hero that is really |
23895s | after of him play at an insanely high |
23897s | level and can be instrumental in this |
23898s | series Kai as well can the hit scan come |
23901s | out and match someone like Meritt a lot |
23903s | of questions about this end team but |
23904s | they just need to put together in this |
23906s | one series to stay |
23908s | alive and their opponents Make some |
23910s | noise for Toronto defi it |
23915s | North America's Last Hope standing |
23918s | before you on the stage let them know |
23920s | how you feel right here sugarfree we've |
23923s | been waiting to see this guy at the top |
23925s | level for years and he is delivering |
23927s | Vega Rupal in the backline holding it |
23930s | down and who better to round this out |
23932s | than Meritt and someone ridiculous |
23934s | performers in their roles they can play |
23937s | absolutely anything keep their opponents |
23939s | guessing let's hear it for toron the |
23942s | fine let's hear it indeed their |
23944s | tournament live on the line the six are |
23946s | high for this last elimination match of |
23949s | the day between NS and Toronto defin and |
23952s | for all the action we send it over to |
23953s | Jack and |
23955s | necra thank you very much desk yes Na's |
23958s | last hopes and dreams now standing on |
23961s | stage facing an eu's number two coming |
23964s | out of the region this is going to be |
23966s | such a good match too I mean Toronto to |
23968s | F it they look so good earlier today |
23970s | even very very close match that they |
23972s | were able to have versus is the best |
23975s | team dare we say in the tournament so |
23977s | far crazy raccoon but incredibly |
23980s | competitive series that's exact they |
23982s | bring that same fire that same energy I |
23984s | mean an might have to level up a little |
23986s | bit I think yeah ker and Kai have always |
23989s | been a big talking point for this team |
23991s | but um kind of something we were talking |
23993s | about during the break row is vesta's |
23995s | ability to kind of flex onto these main |
23996s | tanks roles as well as he off tanks we |
23998s | know he's extremely proficient Sigma it |
24001s | kind of hurts them a little bit I think |
24002s | that Chase isn't available for the team |
24004s | to play but their backline is also |
24006s | something you can kind of incredibly |
24008s | rely on too I like Johnny's point on the |
24010s | desk picking up on ghost who has been a |
24013s | kind of a standout performer for the |
24015s | team over the last stage really has been |
24017s | we've seen a little bit more ghost now |
24019s | as if lay crimo was actually stepping |
24021s | into the roster to play currently the |
24024s | coach of an but their hero pools are so |
24027s | similar it's very difficult to kind of |
24028s | toss up like who would actually be able |
24030s | to play in that Squad but ghost has |
24032s | really been impressive when it comes |
24034s | down to playing that Baptist and really |
24036s | has to show up in a big way today here |
24038s | to make this m team competitive into |
24040s | Toronto |
24042s | Define will be an all EMA lower bracket |
24046s | if they do manage to take it here and |
24047s | knock the na teams out of the |
24049s | competition space station have done it |
24052s | in their upper bracket match and hardi |
24054s | said on stage you know like I think it's |
24056s | going to be Toronto I wanted to be n for |
24058s | the EU boys but I think I'm swaying |
24060s | towards Toronto to find I think it's |
24062s | going to be Incredibly Close one r |
24064s | I mean this was North American's best |
24066s | team their number one seed coming into |
24068s | the competition of they and they have |
24069s | really been Head and Shoulders Above the |
24071s | Rest in that region and uh well who's |
24075s | really surprised especially with the |
24077s | caliber of the roster well that's the |
24079s | story right which of these teams if any |
24082s | at this major can take down one of the |
24086s | Korean teams crazy raccoon or team |
24089s | Falcons both of them behemoths of teams |
24091s | and Toronto Defan has consist Ely been a |
24094s | part of that conversation as a team that |
24096s | very well could take down one of those |
24099s | teams and I made it very look very close |
24101s | today yeah just quickly dealing with AIO |
24104s | show Kai was having but we'll uh get |
24106s | into the first map in just a moment |
24108s | already had a bet already had a game |
24109s | five in our last series if you've only |
24112s | just joined us but this series is a is |
24114s | going to be a banger Lenny on your |
24116s | screen right there having a little bit |
24117s | of fun the other day right jumping over |
24120s | to uh the tank the sugar-free tank |
24121s | pretty scary sometimes and it was a |
24124s | rather fun match seeing someone on the |
24126s | echo too getting a lot of duplications |
24128s | they've had their fun but now is the |
24130s | chance and already time to show up here |
24132s | in the lower bracket loser here is going |
24135s | home loser is going home so a lot of |
24137s | stakes on the line for both of these |
24139s | teams they do not want their tournament |
24140s | end to end here so it's a going to be a |
24144s | hardfought battle between both of them |
24146s | but the onus really is on ends right now |
24148s | to try to figure out how they're going |
24150s | to get the better of Toronto toi a team |
24151s | that is super flexible super capable |
24155s | when it comes to playing any type of |
24157s | composition you can see that the road |
24159s | doesn't get any easier when you get past |
24161s | this point no it does not winner here |
24163s | will face space station gaming they are |
24165s | in the lower semifinal and they'll meet |
24167s | one of the Korean teams in the lower |
24169s | finals of course we'll know who that is |
24172s | tomorrow on the final day on |
24174s | Championship |
24175s | Sunday yeah I mean I think a lot of |
24178s | shears fought Toronto def f as they |
24180s | began to walk out you can see a lot of |
24182s | representation to a lot of J jys in the |
24184s | audience looking pretty good and that I |
24187s | mean that upper finals there Falcons |
24189s | versus crazy raccoon I mean crazy racon |
24191s | have done it once and they do it again |
24192s | of course that's all to be seen tomorrow |
24194s | well that was kind of the finals when we |
24196s | look at how Korea has gone down these |
24199s | past few stages so uh you know what what |
24201s | are you going to do I think that's kind |
24202s | of what people expected crazy Raccoon as |
24205s | well as team Falcons to be able to make |
24206s | it to that match once again and that'll |
24208s | be their third time meting so ex I think |
24212s | every kind of predicted it like you were |
24213s | saying like Korea Korean teams being on |
24216s | top but um Toronto to F you know if they |
24218s | got a little little Revenge bone in them |
24220s | maybe they do end up making all the way |
24222s | right I mean we're guaranteed at least |
24223s | one of the Korean teams in that grand |
24225s | final tomorrow question is who is it |
24227s | going to be and can someone upset them |
24229s | in the lower finals still kind of |
24231s | sorting out an issue right now on an's |
24234s | side but shouldn't be too much longer |
24236s | before we jump into the first |
24239s | round so maybe let's take stock a second |
24242s | of both of these teams we've kind of |
24244s | hyped up every individual player but a |
24246s | maybe a macro lens of what these teams |
24248s | offer be really good here Toronto can |
24251s | kind of bring everything and in fact |
24253s | when we take a look at some of the way |
24254s | that they've approached a lot of these |
24256s | last matches it's been a lot of |
24257s | counterpicking they are not afraid to be |
24259s | able to switch things up and it feels |
24261s | like they're going to get an upper hand |
24263s | over their competition in that way yeah |
24265s | and this is the like we're only seeing |
24268s | sweeps if it's not na in EU games which |
24271s | is also really exciting so expecting |
24273s | this one to go to a game five I'm hoping |
24276s | so I know the audience is too but I've |
24278s | got a good feel and I know which which |
24280s | way they're going to be cheering it's a |
24282s | like I said there's a lot of Toronto |
24283s | jerseys in the crowd right now is all |
24285s | I'm saying there are there are I mean |
24288s | it's been so fun to watch how that team |
24290s | an organization has kind of followed us |
24293s | through OverWatch history having a team |
24295s | in the OverWatch League raining it for |
24297s | the OverWatch Champion series backing |
24300s | just this stacked roster of talent yeah |
24303s | they came into owcs and it was like okay |
24306s | this team's winning it for sure and they |
24307s | have lived up to that like they are |
24310s | stage Champions they're back to |
24311s | Backstage Champions are first ones in |
24313s | owcs at the start of this year I mean |
24315s | I'm looking forward to see how this team |
24317s | kind of develops but how can they really |
24319s | develop much more when they've already |
24320s | got the best team in the region they |
24322s | have to develop at the lands at uh here |
24325s | at dream hack Dallas or in Sweden |
24326s | obviously near at the end of the year if |
24328s | they can kind of keep up their dominance |
24330s | in the region looks like Kai is uh ready |
24333s | to Rock and Roll by the looks of things |
24335s | backing the headset back on pulling the |
24337s | keyboard and mouse as close as possible |
24338s | and I think we're about to get into map |
24340s | number one here is the uh mode win |
24343s | percentage for both teams TR you to find |
24345s | 86% win rate there on hybrid and |
24349s | control and bus onas are going to be our |
24352s | first map of this series but as we see |
24355s | the series extend ANS having a little |
24358s | bit of trouble on esort so far not |
24361s | necessarily the uh best map type for |
24364s | them 1% |
24366s | is maybe something Toronto can exploit a |
24369s | little bit later on in the series as we |
24370s | look at loser picks yeah exactly if |
24373s | Toronto do end up going down this first |
24374s | map I mean just take up to escort and |
24376s | maybe jobs a good in 75% win rate there |
24379s | for Toronto to F but of course we do |
24381s | start on control like you said Busan |
24383s | what do you think we're going to see |
24384s | here obviously kind of hard to tell |
24385s | sometimes depending on the stage but it |
24387s | looks like we're ready and raring to |
24389s | go H versus Toronto defy and na versus |
24392s | EU what once again are we seeing a at |
24395s | five I hope so downtown our first stage |
24400s | here so you were just talking about |
24402s | maybe what do we get a chance to see |
24405s | with buan having so many Dynamic stages |
24408s | at the very least we know we're going to |
24409s | see a |
24411s | bird you saw that bird no I wasn't |
24413s | looking at him he wasn't actually |
24415s | looking at the bird not to look he |
24417s | decided he did not want to see it but |
24420s | we're about to see this as the gates |
24421s | open up we've got |
24424s | hovering over the sigma composition |
24425s | someone right now on the Winston as |
24427s | we're on downtown there's a lot of |
24429s | verticality to play around with |
24430s | something that Winston is going to be |
24431s | able to have great access to but it's |
24434s | the DPS lineups on both of these teams |
24436s | that make a little bit of a difference |
24438s | here with the Ash versus the city but |
24439s | those back lines are so different I mean |
24442s | I love this ash pick not a pick we |
24444s | usually see |
24445s | anymore and maybe that's one of the |
24448s | reasons why that range Advantage from |
24449s | the ash is super nice and Bob incredibly |
24452s | effective in the scrap fight but CID the |
24456s | not only the mobility from the the r the |
24458s | damage reduction but also the range |
24460s | potential there it isn't to be SC that g |
24463s | falling over to someone |
24465s | of shoulde just take it over the back |
24468s | line okay lost the rash about |
24470s | it no it doesn't matter at all when |
24472s | you've got a player like Lea that's able |
24474s | to just pump healing into the rest of |
24475s | the team someone able to play a very |
24477s | hyper aggressive play style to even up |
24480s | the score for players and now be able to |
24482s | take control of this point capster isn't |
24485s | even able to escape that either as |
24486s | someone chases him down gives him a fist |
24488s | in the face yeah what's my guy doing |
24490s | back there get a near Toronto SP and is |
24494s | switch they switched over to the malga |
24497s | as Thea makes that change off the |
24499s | S be able to get in a little bit easier |
24502s | as the cak overdrive as well to make |
24504s | keer just a little bit more menacing if |
24506s | he wants to play with the team typically |
24508s | you're going to see that Tracer just try |
24510s | to take that off ankle for b as well |
24512s | worth mentioning too |
24514s | no suu on the side of an of course goes |
24516s | much preferring to run the baptisto rup |
24519s | a little bit more safe you can be way |
24520s | more aggressive with the nades and the |
24522s | sleeps and whatnot so worth keeping in |
24524s | mind too I mean someone is going to be |
24526s | hard to deal with now especially with |
24527s | this Primal Rage he spoted ghost and |
24529s | he's out for |
24531s | blood up the first to P though but look |
24533s | at that collapse the pulse BL from |
24535s | sugarfree and someone this dynamic duo |
24539s | Unstoppable and just |
24541s | crumble great pulse bomb going to use |
24544s | the Nano boost here onto someone just as |
24547s | insurance but that's because Ker's in |
24549s | your backline B's going to go down after |
24551s | that point and even though fire we're |
24553s | able to get that enough he's had enough |
24557s | 63% is all you're going to get Toronto |
24560s | and find the flip at the end sugarfree |
24562s | versus keer on the Tracer just went |
24564s | crazy yeah European powerhouse on that |
24568s | pick yeah really alive for this series |
24571s | someone's going to switch off the |
24572s | Winston though after using that Primal |
24573s | Rage switching over to the doomfist |
24575s | we've seen this combination before from |
24577s | tono to using the Nano boost on |
24579s | something like the doomfist to just get |
24581s | some really explosive power but here's |
24584s | the Bob from Merit Here Comes Bob on the |
24585s | point wiow is going to get Unleashed |
24587s | that Bob isn't going to survive long I |
24588s | wouldn't imagine cak overdrive just to |
24590s | sustain through this dynamite damage Ka |
24593s | already taking care of the Bob and rud |
24595s | Paul a swift head shot from the Cassidy |
24598s | going to make sure they take down that |
24599s | backline but here comes someone a punch |
24601s | into the wall and uh well someone mer |
24603s | just forming a p maneuver on Kai there |
24606s | as he just falls on over Merit just |
24608s | unperturbed on The High Ground just |
24611s | completely like how do you even get rid |
24613s | of this guy Kai is just trying to look |
24615s | every which way possible cuz someone is |
24617s | just hot on his tail doesn't want to |
24618s | give Kai any space really doesn't and |
24620s | that's why Thea is actually going to go |
24622s | over to the sigma now the sigma a little |
24624s | bit better to have that Shield but we |
24626s | also saw Thea get no value from that |
24629s | cage even just in that last fight Thea |
24632s | very well known for the Sigma able to |
24634s | help protect one of these off angles for |
24636s | Kai to operate from but sugarfree is |
24638s | looking for another pulse bomb going to |
24640s | build one up in this next fight and Bol |
24642s | is already so low already used the hands |
24645s | post from sugar freak found success P |
24647s | cany again an aggressive Roll by Kai |
24649s | looking straight at R but can't quite |
24651s | get him down s comes in from an po spot |
24654s | from sugarfree an uncharacteristic Miss |
24656s | there but he does manage to stay alive |
24658s | hits the recall as Kai once again the |
24660s | focus for someone Kai just not able to |
24663s | do anything like I said before sugar |
24664s | free is making look one way someone the |
24666s | other 99% for Toronto now if they're |
24668s | going to find the flip yet again that |
24671s | Bob helping secure that point as enter |
24676s | [Applause] |
24680s | white first round going over to Toronto |
24684s | def fire couple quick doomfist punches |
24687s | to push that Sigma back really nice |
24690s | followup coming through though from |
24692s | sugarfree this is such a young Talent as |
24694s | well somebody we didn't get a chance to |
24696s | really see find the success we knew he |
24699s | could have during this time in the |
24701s | league now they'll really able to live |
24704s | up to that potential on a team like |
24706s | Toronto defant also with just such a |
24708s | Allstar background and his team to be |
24710s | able to boost him up yeah he was really |
24713s | him right before uh he turned of age in |
24715s | the OverWatch League every just saying |
24716s | he was the like the next proper in a way |
24718s | before proper really reached the league |
24720s | like he was the next Superstar North |
24722s | American DPS the one that was going to |
24724s | blow the OverWatch League wide open and |
24726s | now he really can in the owcs and you |
24728s | can see how much him and his team have |
24730s | had success to the F playing s on a ball |
24734s | I don't mind this whatsoever it's been a |
24736s | comp has been used sporadically it's |
24739s | really nice but the problem is you get |
24740s | rotated on extremely quickly and there |
24743s | we go ideally you're like pocket like an |
24746s | island right with Meritt pager and R |
24748s | Paul but if you got quick rotations like |
24750s | this from end it's really tough to stay |
24752s | alive well there's great followup coming |
24754s | through from someone even though Vega |
24757s | kind of acted as the bait someone is |
24758s | able to take them up on that offer get |
24761s | those big picks and this is one of the |
24764s | only points we can really see ring ball |
24766s | work of course someone's going to try to |
24768s | do |
24769s | that it's man many Talent and man many |
24771s | tank pick someone can do it all pretty |
24775s | much long have gone the days where tank |
24777s | players can only really play one role |
24778s | right the off tank of the main tank |
24779s | you're going to be better at one of them |
24781s | at some point someone really just every |
24785s | single tank uh he's able to pick up he |
24787s | finds exceptional |
24789s | success but ton haven't been able to |
24791s | find the flip yet they're able to get |
24793s | some progress here maybe a pick onto Kai |
24795s | will help to open things up a little bit |
24796s | more but the recking ball doesn't really |
24798s | have the same type of Point presence as |
24800s | you would expect to have from something |
24801s | like the sigma so enes had control at |
24803s | this point the whole time I mean this is |
24805s | what this comp does too look at how much |
24807s | pressure they're putting on MAR and |
24808s | ghost in the backline is is only someone |
24810s | and sugarfree just running around them |
24812s | again different comp same kind of style |
24814s | they want to play they got mines they |
24816s | got the PO Spa this transcend is going |
24818s | to help survive someone just hanging out |
24820s | right now he's waiting for the perfect |
24822s | opportunity to get the pounce on end and |
24824s | drop that entire mine field mines are |
24827s | harder to take out now you can kind of |
24829s | throw your body at them but they're |
24831s | still going to deal a lot of damage them |
24833s | getting |
24834s | rocked little bit of damage yeah like |
24836s | you said but no initial kill Skai taking |
24840s | face full of bullets there from someone |
24841s | who Retreats back to his ports a |
24843s | rotation here from Merit Vega and rup |
24846s | now as they see an approaching on their |
24850s | track line nice little Ro does he R but |
24853s | oh that I mean there's nothing stopping |
24856s | Kai getting away with murder pops the |
24858s | overclock hits two well not even over |
24860s | sorry that's just the rail G doesn't |
24862s | need the Apparently Tonto to F |
24864s | eventually going to get taken down here |
24867s | make it hurt a little bit few extra |
24868s | percentage points e out falling early |
24872s | Des for Toronto they don't end up |
24874s | investing the Transcendence either know |
24875s | they can kind of come back and they're |
24877s | going to to deal with this FL well they |
24880s | got something really valuable at events |
24881s | which led them to not have to use |
24882s | something like the transcenders just |
24883s | take the Eco push there Masa sound be |
24886s | invested into that last fight but you |
24888s | saw Kai able to get so aggressive and up |
24891s | in front of Mer's face because he just |
24893s | had the power of that sound Bearer |
24894s | behind your sails but now you get the |
24896s | Transcendence the Nano the targets on |
24899s | the other side here Toronto can just use |
24901s | that Nano even just a little bit more |
24902s | defensively if they want to Big Pick |
24906s | they able to get the better of ghost got |
24908s | aggressive Vegas playing too here comes |
24911s | the flux where is it gone oh deleted by |
24916s | Merit don't use that friend sentence any |
24918s | longer Vega can basically throw that one |
24920s | in when he likes best tried to turn that |
24923s | fight around just didn't find anything |
24924s | and just picked him out of the sky |
24926s | absolutely and now that the flux is off |
24928s | the table too I mean you we're looking |
24930s | at a point where this might just be |
24931s | final fight don't know if F can invest |
24933s | the Transcendence here the Nano |
24935s | everything maybe even to be able to get |
24937s | yet another Minefield up from someone |
24940s | this is so dangerous too take a look at |
24942s | where someone's coming from knock |
24943s | somebody out of this |
24945s | room or Kai playing a bit of Defense |
24948s | here with mer on the sil does end up |
24950s | getting Nano pushed away three people |
24952s | looking at him not through the window |
24953s | but enough damage to send him packing |
24955s | here comes the alow from Kai ripping the |
24958s | overclock mer didn't stand a chance even |
24960s | with that but that's a nice TR coming |
24963s | through someone just knocking him up and |
24965s | well that magade did the work Posta from |
24968s | sugarfree trying to Def find still |
24970s | control on the point losing members of |
24972s | their team however as an they do find |
24974s | that flip someone just inting in there |
24976s | just getting a reset going there's ANS |
24979s | try and hold on |
24980s | now trying to hold on they have the |
24983s | opportunity to use the pulse bomb as one |
24985s | way to be able to do that Masa is also |
24986s | going to have another sound barrier |
24988s | really helpful to deal with Toronto |
24991s | Defiance ultimate economy still haven't |
24994s | used the Transcendence yet not seeing a |
24996s | valuable enough opportunity to throw |
24998s | that ultimate into the mix but this is |
24999s | final fight so it's now or never sh forc |
25002s | a Reco there didn't want to take another |
25003s | bullet or another rail gun ends up |
25006s | touching that point triggers OT pul bomb |
25008s | comes in from keer that's a big one |
25011s | transgenders coming through from Vega |
25012s | the only healing Source available now to |
25013s | Toronto Defiance that sound bar from end |
25016s | might just see them through it mer on |
25018s | the sidelines here but kevster the |
25020s | absolute demon on the sidelines takes |
25022s | two almost three with him his thought |
25025s | sugarfree but it is Kai that does the |
25027s | Dirty Work his ANS tie up |
25030s | [Applause] |
25032s | busad able to really play to their |
25034s | strengths there on that second round of |
25036s | Busan playing around Vesta Sigma able to |
25040s | make really nice work of that duo of |
25042s | kevster and Kai that soour is one of his |
25046s | best heroes and with those sight lines |
25048s | those flanks uh Toronto def not |
25051s | necessarily always being able to to |
25052s | deliver a full lethal blow onto the team |
25055s | ends up working in in's favor especially |
25057s | in the end there with some of those more |
25058s | heavy hitting ultimates but as we enter |
25061s | into this third point we're going over |
25062s | to Mecha base this is a tricky one |
25065s | you're going to have to fight in some of |
25067s | these more Close Quarters environments a |
25069s | little bit more cover to play around to |
25071s | when you take a look at the architecture |
25072s | of the map but that's why we're going to |
25074s | see a switch up here no more Wrecking |
25076s | Ball on the table for Toronto to it |
25078s | someone switching over to the malga we |
25080s | got the Cassidy and the Genji to be able |
25081s | to beef that up to do as an try to stick |
25084s | to their tried and |
25086s | true with the first Blood though onto |
25088s | Mar un like he was saying at the very |
25090s | top of this series as well Rose we know |
25093s | kind of what ends are going to be |
25094s | playing Toronto def they're the team |
25096s | that can Flex so heavily onto different |
25100s | compositions and it's working wonders so |
25102s | far Point unlocks Toronto find an almost |
25105s | team kill there they claim the first cap |
25107s | they just swarmed him overwhelmed him |
25110s | with the force that you can have with |
25111s | the cardiac over dri on top of just the |
25114s | instakill pressure of Meritt and |
25116s | sugarfree able to clean up all of those |
25118s | picks oh here we go again already into |
25121s | the the wrong side of the team fight |
25122s | there has to back off and join the rest |
25124s | of his Squad vea just left on a little |
25126s | island as I'm you basically just seeing |
25129s | sugarfree being an unpenetrable wall in |
25132s | front of end and then they're just |
25134s | isolating vea and just pushing him down |
25137s | Toronto's aggression and their speed |
25139s | here is really being the Achilles heal |
25142s | event |
25143s | really tough to set up Kai here for |
25145s | Success someone's just driving right |
25147s | into the Enemy Lines to be able to help |
25150s | out with that isolation too but an they |
25153s | they able to come back with some tools |
25154s | of their own kevster now going to be on |
25156s | the Genji one way to try to get into the |
25158s | mix of things with sugarfree on the |
25160s | Genji to oh good perfectly timed grasp |
25163s | there from besto you see that over |
25165s | Health coming through and that window is |
25167s | going to Aid in the kill of |
25169s | someone here we go is coming back in |
25172s | this map unless sugar Free's got |
25174s | anything to say about it don't think |
25175s | he's going to be able to find anything |
25177s | there you go two Taps two kills for Kai |
25179s | at the very end that's going to be where |
25181s | Kai is going to find the most value V |
25183s | finally able to actually get in on the |
25185s | action giving that valuable Shield over |
25188s | to Kai so we can just have that major |
25190s | source of damage be a little bit more |
25191s | close and personal but Toronto coming |
25194s | back in with so many ultimates into this |
25196s | fight the cage to be able to pair with |
25198s | something like the blade got the blade |
25200s | barrier very difficult to take out any |
25202s | of these things so M sound is going to |
25203s | have to be huge really theu there but |
25207s | rup has got theun rush and you can see |
25209s | trying to set up on this High Ground |
25210s | Rose a really straight shot however Kai |
25213s | might have a better shot on the back |
25214s | line here the sound barrier comes |
25216s | through for to try and make sure they |
25218s | survive this oncoming ons sort of damage |
25221s | K has pulled out the blade though and |
25223s | it's easy pickings for the Genji 40% in |
25226s | building now for an as Toronto to F A |
25229s | Team kill w that was so expensive but |
25231s | what a great reaction from Kai to use |
25233s | theed just to help try to push back this |
25235s | team after RuPaul used the kitun rush |
25238s | now going to go over to the Baptist |
25239s | himself has the option for the |
25240s | immortality field is with some really |
25242s | good burst healing but this is also to |
25245s | help out someone who has switched over |
25247s | to the |
25248s | ratra play is going to have to go crazy |
25250s | ends up whipping it out however look at |
25252s | the boo look at the peel spots the Lucio |
25255s | Master a little bit too far up and ghost |
25257s | also falls to a similar fate now a run |
25260s | down from somewhat he's got the fist the |
25262s | FL in but I mean look oh what a block |
25265s | with the rock but keer PS out of nowhere |
25268s | kill someone however Toronto defi |
25270s | they're still winning this fight and |
25271s | going to have to get the flip |
25273s | here little bit of star coming through |
25276s | though an is able to come back and Tron |
25278s | F and have to give up this space Oh have |
25280s | on the flank get taken off by Merit and |
25283s | they can't get the flip either it was so |
25284s | close to going over that ke death is |
25286s | going to cost them dearly oh the Gras |
25290s | he's waiting it out trying to get an |
25291s | angle oh |
25293s | narrowly missing that shot onto the |
25295s | backline but now it's Tonto to fight in |
25297s | full |
25298s | control but en can actually least break |
25301s | out of here they have the amplification |
25302s | matri to help out with that just in case |
25304s | they need it but coming down to the Wi |
25307s | theyig disengage TR Divine using that |
25309s | Lucio speed boost to get out of there |
25310s | and they're not going to peek just going |
25312s | to force to try and touch the point here |
25314s | T Divine going to have to react his keer |
25316s | on there and you can see now trying to |
25317s | Define just letting that point |
25321s | go they don't play of this flop they |
25323s | know that V is going to have this soon |
25325s | as well as both DPS |
25327s | ultimates got the regenerator bur as |
25330s | well as that lamp to keep everybody |
25331s | alive in the front line Vega hit the |
25333s | sound barrier behind the shield and now |
25334s | is their time to strike wearing out that |
25337s | grasp is Merit just dashes Behind The |
25338s | Shield a little roll and a smack kills |
25340s | Thea But Here Comes Kev with a PL yet |
25342s | again Swedish gift to Esports as Kev |
25346s | finds three with the Genji blade and |
25349s | ends with the latest sound barrier |
25351s | rolling over the T onto to Fire and |
25353s | sugar free the only one left standing it |
25355s | looks like it's going to be en taking |
25357s | claim of |
25359s | [Applause] |
25363s | Busan what a perfectly timed blade that |
25366s | came up right as that sound barrier was |
25369s | expiring on Toronto defiant kepster |
25371s | found the almost perfect window of |
25373s | opportunity to let that go get the pic |
25377s | he needed and get into that incredible |
25379s | Victory man ksta is just light sour |
25382s | right now on this Genji if he can |
25383s | continue this blade if you continue the |
25386s | Genji up and just keep getting big multi |
25388s | kills with the blades like this I mean |
25390s | they're looking at a three maybe but |
25391s | Toronto to F they won't be beaten down |
25394s | that easily Rose we're going to jump |
25395s | over to the desk they're going to break |
25396s | down that map and then see where we're |
25398s | going to send us for the next |
25400s | one thank you so |
25402s | much and got caught in action there |
25406s | patting the winon like like |
25409s | that I like winon winon over we're here |
25412s | for we're here for it we're also here |
25413s | for some fantastic OverWatch and this |
25415s | was certainly a display of just that |
25418s | very early on in this series round one |
25420s | here on Busan it did look like um and is |
25424s | just getting counterpick it just looked |
25426s | like they didn't have the flexibility |
25428s | and then towards the very end of round |
25430s | two things started to look up for them |
25432s | and then on round three obviously like |
25434s | they found their strike they switched |
25436s | things up and showed us a flexibility |
25438s | that we might not have expected here |
25439s | Jake yeah they look great honestly I |
25441s | think Merit hit scan on third map it |
25443s | really struggled to have impact I think |
25444s | it's really difficult to get past the |
25446s | sigma on an immobile hero like Cassidy I |
25448s | mean Meritt one of the best to do it but |
25450s | it's a tough match up to play I mean |
25452s | we've only seen other teams win versus |
25453s | that match up by cutting the hit scan |
25455s | entirely and so I think if anything ends |
25458s | found a bit of an advantage there this |
25459s | is a map though I will say where round |
25462s | one Winston's a very very effective hero |
25464s | a lot of high ground to really utilize |
25466s | but Maps two and three they're just not |
25468s | effective for Winston there's not enough |
25469s | high low ground to play around and so |
25472s | yes you win here but I think this is a |
25474s | if anything a particularly good map for |
25476s | answ the sigma actually functions |
25478s | decently well on at least two of three |
25480s | points gives them a fair fight now I |
25483s | have to imagine with the success that |
25484s | someone did find on our lovable Winston |
25487s | hero I I'm seeing a jalter pick on the |
25489s | cards I don't actually know if that's |
25491s | the case but if I'm korus I'm 100% Going |
25493s | jalter I watched NRG get the win on this |
25496s | map and think yeah we can we can if you |
25498s | can do it I can do it better absolutely |
25500s | H I agree with thatter pi but looking at |
25502s | this series as well through the find |
25504s | they can learn from this they saw |
25505s | especially here on mechab base I think |
25507s | Vesta he peeled back beautifully |
25509s | extracting resources from the Bro |
25511s | composition and so you saw nort they |
25513s | started out on The High Ground they |
25515s | started pressuring T defant in those |
25517s | choke points trying to get resources out |
25519s | and then Wasa V just keep backing keep |
25521s | backing towards that bridge area which |
25524s | allows kevster to take the wide angle as |
25526s | well or dive deep with Genji into the |
25528s | back line and put pressure on mer like |
25529s | you said Jake so I think it was |
25531s | beautifully played by NC Sports |
25532s | especially with that Sigma composition |
25534s | the way they withdraw from the fight |
25536s | they get resources out and then they |
25537s | pounce on you when you're already pushed |
25539s | in yeah because early on in the series |
25541s | it was very clear that the big strength |
25542s | here for wanted def find was their |
25544s | aggressive play they were just dictating |
25547s | when and where to take those fights so |
25549s | for the opposition of n here to you know |
25552s | take a step back and let them come in uh |
25554s | and trap them there uh was a really |
25556s | really great adjustments now big |
25557s | question of course where are we heading |
25559s | it is going to be Toronto defin not pick |
25563s | you want to see Jala here no there's no |
25565s | I put my money on jalter if it's not |
25567s | jalter I'll be really surprised there's |
25569s | an option maybe if they have like a |
25571s | hybrid they think is going to be really |
25572s | really dominant but for me Jal is the |
25574s | obvious choice uh I feel really really |
25576s | confident yeah again just a Wednesday |
25578s | map yeah exactly just to recap for the |
25580s | audience who might not be familiar besta |
25583s | primarily likes those brawl heroes or |
25585s | the sigma composition whereas FR find of |
25586s | course with someone exceptional Winston |
25589s | player and so this this map because it |
25591s | is so good for the dive compositions it |
25593s | really does favor turn defiant and so |
25595s | it's no surprise to see them go towards |
25597s | these High Ground Maps so on the other |
25599s | side here of inston H what do you see |
25601s | them doing do you think that just going |
25602s | to toss away or that just going to stick |
25605s | to those braw or SL Rush compositions or |
25607s | do you feel like they have to try and |
25609s | match them in the Winston I think is |
25611s | that a good idea against someone I don't |
25612s | think so what we've seen from them |
25613s | before is playing Diva and Baptist and |
25616s | honestly for people at home like if you |
25617s | wanted to match a Winston dive and you |
25619s | didn't really you're not confident on |
25620s | the Winston not confident on the Anna |
25621s | diva B I mean the St definitely works |
25623s | it's pretty decent but I for me at this |
25625s | level of the game Winston is way too |
25628s | good and and when it's really executed |
25630s | to this maximum Perfection that we can |
25632s | expect from a team like toron fan I I |
25634s | don't really think it's possible to |
25635s | compete frankly I think this is like an |
25637s | 8020 comp match up at at the elite |
25639s | professional level but I think I mean to |
25641s | be honest this this Diva Bap with Ker's |
25644s | explosive Genji it's not easy to do but |
25647s | if anyone can do it I mean I I believe |
25648s | in kevster I mean he he found he finds |
25651s | incredible openings sometimes without |
25652s | much support from the team I mean |
25654s | sometimes he's that oneman Army you know |
25655s | better than most John yeah absolutely I |
25657s | 100% agree but looking towards the rest |
25659s | of the series two like hybrid push |
25661s | flasho these are all good map types I |
25663s | feel like four ends as well they can get |
25664s | familiar with those map types so even |
25666s | though we very much favored TR def find |
25668s | on this particular map jalter here in |
25670s | escort I think this is still going to be |
25672s | a really competitive series throughout |
25674s | absolutely what we'll find out what both |
25676s | of those teams have in store for us in |
25678s | just a little bit uh but for now we're |
25680s | heading back over to our Masters to set |
25682s | the stage for his we have winning jaalto |
25685s | here thank you very much desk yes we're |
25688s | going as watch Point J broter now for |
25691s | our escort Mt Bros Toronto you know |
25694s | thinking ahead a little bit here it |
25695s | seems they really are though because |
25697s | when you take a look at that escort pool |
25698s | you see circuit Royale and you go H |
25700s | Sigma map may as well deny that |
25702s | opportunity for ends to potentially |
25705s | better the win rate that they have on |
25707s | escort right now which is 177% not |
25709s | looking so great but if you're allow |
25712s | them to pick circuit Royale on their own |
25713s | map pick then you're giving them a huge |
25717s | boom yeah it feels like a really smart |
25719s | decision to go here you can play Dive |
25722s | someone can play ball if he wants to he |
25723s | can play Winston i' imagine the Winston |
25725s | unless they want to do some sort of |
25727s | variation of the rush but and dive is |
25730s | just so good on this map on the game |
25732s | type as well but definitely the |
25734s | strongest here yeah all right let's go |
25736s | map number two coming up it's s it's |
25740s | Toronto defiance |
25742s | H taking the lead fairly early taking |
25745s | Busan as we load into map number two |
25748s | here in the lower |
25751s | brackets when you think about their map |
25753s | pools you definitely expect that Toronto |
25756s | Define are going to have the upper hand |
25758s | watch Point your Balter is a very |
25759s | classic dive map a lot of teams liking |
25762s | to rely on the Winston sometimes we see |
25765s | teams like space station gaming maybe |
25769s | like not play the Winston dive Maybe |
25772s | opting to play even just the the |
25773s | Reinhardt with the with the smer so |
25775s | we've seen teams do it before not match |
25777s | a dive on this map but it's going to be |
25779s | so difficult to not do that when you |
25782s | know that someone is waiting for you |
25784s | with that |
25785s | Winston so the dust talked about this |
25788s | maybe just lean into the diva with the |
25789s | bat Diva KIRO got to be pretty scared as |
25793s | well of Ker's Widow gay |
25796s | unlock what cans show us today on the |
25799s | Widowmaker not sure it's going to be too |
25800s | much maybe just goes for a quick swap |
25802s | but the play Super far |
25805s | back actually jumping over to Echo here |
25807s | just aiding in the dive bester and Kai |
25811s | going to be a hard for battle though |
25812s | against Meritt on CY who's already |
25814s | holding this High Ground can Retreat to |
25815s | blue box if he wants to as well B's a |
25819s | really good Diva so you're going to see |
25821s | these opportunities for besta to try to |
25823s | work with these dive units but as |
25827s | Toronto have this High Ground Control |
25828s | men really have to force them to make |
25831s | their own agency force them down to the |
25834s | cart that's why they're going to just |
25835s | play down here at the moment but Toronto |
25837s | come to |
25839s | them yeah getting it through the car |
25841s | wash is notm quite difficult if you can |
25843s | force him all the way back like this |
25845s | should be pretty easy oh that was two |
25847s | quick kills there from Toronto |
25849s | eliminating the backline off |
25851s | screen they can get this be large is so |
25855s | low should have enough Matrix here to |
25857s | survive in fact will be a quick Swift |
25860s | step Inu from Ghost if he much is at |
25864s | least giving a lot of healing |
25866s | opportunity over to both Masa and ghost |
25869s | to help work up to those ultimates just |
25870s | a little bit faster fora Vega they're |
25873s | playing such a defensive backline it's |
25876s | going to be very difficult for Vesta to |
25877s | actually find an opening to dive onto |
25879s | either of those targets we got a shield |
25881s | back ready to go a yeah you just get |
25883s | bullied if you're the there |
25884s | unfortunately even with the Matrix is so |
25886s | hard to get stuff done the biggest |
25888s | things you're doing right now is |
25889s | probably looking to eat the n Eat the |
25890s | sleep or eat some damage has flung |
25892s | towards Ker's way a nice mag there from |
25896s | there I mean all the damage thrown at |
25897s | both Kai and kevster this is a mountain |
25900s | to climb by the lit for end half the |
25903s | time's gone already might be able to get |
25905s | D they do that's a big deal think that |
25909s | the St is going to have to give up all |
25910s | of that charge to try to switch to |
25912s | another hero and come back look at that |
25914s | gives up a lot G on lot of momentum |
25918s | there just to be able to get out of get |
25919s | back out of spawn a little bit faster |
25921s | sub 2 minutes now for ends to try to |
25923s | capture this first objective Toronto to |
25925s | F they're not giving up an inch still |
25928s | with this High Ground Control Meritt |
25930s | having the D making that even more |
25931s | difficult to |
25932s | assail Meritt is Immortal on this High |
25936s | Ground nice on duplication Vega pops the |
25938s | rally B has been anti by the the Duke |
25940s | Anor they got to try and find something |
25942s | here they eventually kill Merit and this |
25944s | free Nano Boost from keer might just be |
25946s | good enough and to get the payload going |
25948s | again 1 minute and 30 seconds to go now |
25950s | as they around this final corner and |
25953s | have that round circle that letter A in |
25956s | their sights butab Boost from rup is |
25958s | going to make it a little bit more |
25959s | difficult than they wanted yep big |
25961s | contest coming through here from |
25963s | Toronto three me to go Rose's already |
25966s | dead a d on besta the perfect rage from |
25969s | Toronto to fight no does end up falling |
25972s | but I think someone's just done enough |
25973s | damage the bubble to block off all the |
25975s | healing little stagger potentially on |
25977s | keer too not quite sugar free wants to |
25979s | end it right there one minute to go r F |
25982s | looking like they're going to hold this |
25983s | first |
25985s | point the ultimate investment from an |
25987s | was really good there they had to throw |
25989s | three things though at that last fight |
25991s | in order to even get close to being able |
25993s | to touch that first objective all the |
25995s | while Toronto they took those L's really |
25998s | quickly able to come back in with that |
26000s | Nano boost fromall that meant that there |
26002s | was too much survivability there from |
26003s | someone so that and just couldn't have |
26005s | anything else to throw at that still |
26007s | looking for something else to help push |
26009s | them over this line as there's only 30 |
26011s | seconds left left this is going to be 's |
26012s | final shot here if they don't do it now |
26014s | and V is going to get DX before he has |
26016s | the AL there's nothing left sugar Free's |
26018s | dead they doing up trade it doesn't |
26019s | matter rally sugar free going to come |
26022s | back with po bom is that it is that all |
26025s | en muster on this first point B is going |
26028s | to come back in just a moment kevster P |
26030s | they're going to have to keep it alive |
26031s | but a sleep onto Ker's dup and a quick |
26034s | Kill by rupo only a second Remains the |
26038s | Toronto Defiance are holding strong on |
26041s | this first |
26043s | [Applause] |
26047s | point that last second contest with 30 |
26051s | seconds left was so |
26053s | good to fight that Nano boost is sealing |
26056s | the deal there for them to be able to |
26058s | keep that defense alive the full hold |
26060s | comes through on watch Point |
26063s | jalter ends having a match that is going |
26065s | to be a tall |
26068s | ask only takes a couple of clean fights |
26071s | in the issue there for end too the |
26073s | fights weren't exactly clean when they |
26074s | did end up winning them it was extremely |
26076s | Scrappy and they weren't able to kind of |
26077s | press the issue press that advantage and |
26080s | 83 M we basically call it first the |
26082s | payload was pretty much |
26084s | there tronto to find you can see why |
26087s | they wanted to come here and take away a |
26089s | choice from n 2 like you were talking |
26091s | about the very |
26093s | top not giving them a chance to go to a |
26096s | map they may be preferred like Ser yeah |
26098s | well exactly if you give them the |
26100s | opportunity to pick the escort pick the |
26101s | best escort in the pool for them so may |
26104s | as well pick that away pick jalter pick |
26107s | the Winston map and make an have a lot |
26111s | of difficulty with this one look ANS |
26113s | actually they don't even want to play |
26114s | the dive here when they come out on the |
26115s | defense they're going to have the |
26117s | ratra going to play Rush with the main |
26120s | we see if Toronto have any idea this is |
26121s | going on we'll get a quick listening |
26131s | one attack |
26156s | in row Ram row |
26159s | sh push r one r one r one nice wait take |
26162s | take take |
26167s | [Applause] |
26172s | our you can you okay |
26177s | okay it's as easy as that for Toronto to |
26180s | find to break that spawn hole from an |
26184s | they called out the mate instantly then |
26187s | oh that's a big nade huge lamp from |
26190s | Ghost but they're also regenor revers a |
26192s | couple of right clicks on the floor |
26193s | should see them through this initial bit |
26195s | of damage but look at this sugar free |
26197s | with a stick Kai dead Toronto toy and |
26200s | taking Edge to the slaughter |
26203s | house was the best effort that they |
26205s | could give though with that close hold |
26207s | and they're still giving it all they've |
26208s | got with this may helping to stall out |
26210s | this card just a little bit but as you |
26211s | heard the Cs Toronto calling out all of |
26214s | those cool Downs to keep this defense |
26216s | alive from an and punish them as soon as |
26218s | they are off the board and with that yet |
26220s | another clean Fight Win for Toronto and |
26223s | one more away from being able to take |
26225s | this map and even up our series look at |
26227s | those Al to Define as well and look at |
26229s | someone playing in the spa oh I've got |
26231s | Primal R don't you worry about it oh |
26234s | don't you worry about the payload either |
26236s | we've got it Toronto |
26239s | Defiance lock that map in with |
26244s | ease just easy as that you call it one |
26247s | two |
26248s | three get the nades get the pounds get |
26252s | the Tesla Cannon picks it's all as |
26255s | simple as that for Toronto to find |
26258s | it you wouldn't have guessed that there |
26260s | Matt P one a piece now in this lower |
26263s | bracket loser here does go home no set |
26267s | before couple of couple of maps ago Na |
26270s | and EU they've been just at each other's |
26272s | throats this whole time some of the only |
26274s | games that haven't been pure sweeps here |
26277s | and this isn't exactly uh this isn't |
26278s | exactly looking like a sweep well if to |
26281s | repeat that performance maybe it will be |
26283s | but look Busan end end up taking it and |
26285s | Toronto Define picking a map they know |
26288s | they can excel at besta just unable to |
26290s | get much stuff done on the diva at all |
26292s | even the ram too he rolled out on the |
26294s | RAM and the May and they run snipped it |
26296s | out was like okay well we n we bubble so |
26299s | well was so unfortunate because even on |
26301s | their first attack push AA actually had |
26303s | an opportunity to potentially even get |
26305s | back into the mech that Diva ultimate |
26306s | not coming online quite in time but |
26308s | that's where you saw that DCH a couple |
26310s | of to go really come back to bite them |
26312s | having to actually go back in spawn |
26314s | change Heroes come back out there you go |
26316s | a little speed run from Toronto to find |
26318s | a watch point to BR we'll jump over to |
26320s | the desk though they'll break that one |
26322s | down yeah well Jack they had too much to |
26324s | break down here that was a quick one and |
26327s | it went pretty much exactly like we |
26328s | expected when we setting this one up |
26330s | jalta is where Toronto to find tkas they |
26333s | got to play their game there uh looking |
26335s | good on that Winston Bas Diva just |
26337s | couldn't quite get the job done there I |
26339s | mean he's a great Diva player he's one |
26340s | of the best |
26341s | but I think it just proves that it's not |
26343s | aable match up at this level of play I |
26345s | mean number one I think is honestly BR |
26347s | right like a diva you can eat a lot of |
26349s | those Anna cool Downs you could eat some |
26350s | of the Tracer damage Cassidy you could |
26352s | deal with them too but Brig just feasts |
26354s | on you as D.A permanently proing that |
26356s | heal for your teammates every time you |
26358s | fly you're getting booked away at least |
26359s | as Winston you can drop the bubble |
26361s | sometimes block Greg's heels you can |
26363s | block her Shield bash with the bubble |
26364s | Diva just has no favorable interactions |
26366s | in that matchup and honestly for a |
26368s | player like Vega it's easy pickings yeah |
26370s | I mean also when you put someone like |
26372s | Kai on Tracer who's mostly known for hit |
26374s | scan as well it's just a sub more |
26376s | composition I like the idea maybe of |
26378s | putting kevster on the echo is also |
26379s | another hero that he's really strong at |
26380s | and maybe if you're thinking well we're |
26382s | going to play Diva which puts a lot of |
26383s | pressure onto a Winston maybe we'll play |
26385s | Echo to which also puts a lot of uh |
26387s | pressure onto the en tank as well but |
26389s | you know this just wasn't the map for |
26390s | ends that you're looking towards and now |
26392s | I'm looking towards the next maps in the |
26394s | pool right I don't really if I'm a |
26396s | player on ends as well I'm not like |
26397s | really into this match I'm not just like |
26399s | overreacting to this match oh I feel |
26401s | like we should have win this one no of |
26402s | course not like this is a map you know |
26403s | that you're not really strong at |
26405s | mentally you look forward towards the |
26406s | rest of the series beautiful on on here |
26409s | from Rupal when the rotation comes in |
26411s | from NC sport trying to take that High |
26412s | Ground so know Flawless play by fire |
26415s | that's what we expect from them but now |
26417s | looking forward are we going to see Nani |
26419s | that is the big question for me it is |
26420s | the map that ends picked against Falcons |
26422s | and remember that was a very competitive |
26424s | Nani where keer had that phenomenal |
26426s | backup of course which you know bit of a |
26428s | failure on Falcon's part so I don't know |
26430s | how much credit you want to get keer but |
26431s | it was a really competitive Nani it went |
26434s | into overtime both teams ended up cing |
26436s | Nani so now on that map you could |
26438s | potentially as I say that it's it was |
26440s | all for nothing J you know I was going |
26442s | to say this I love I love where you |
26444s | tried to go with this one we to was like |
26448s | they was like they were competitive with |
26449s | Falcons you can put sigas on The High |
26452s | Ground it was going to no they're |
26454s | playing they're playing all right this |
26457s | is this is the other Sigma map in the |
26458s | ball I mean this is this is really this |
26461s | is really the sigma the most I think |
26463s | dominant Sigma map I think this is |
26464s | actually a pretty tough map to play |
26465s | Winston um for ton of the f I don't |
26467s | think the same tricks are going to work |
26469s | again that being said I think Toronto |
26471s | they could like to go with the the sigma |
26473s | mirror they could try and bring out |
26474s | maybe a faster Rush style maybe with the |
26476s | magga one hero I do want to see we |
26478s | talked about this on buan how Okay basa |
26480s | keeps pulling back with that Sigma he's |
26482s | kiing you out he's farming out your |
26483s | resources and you just you can't ever |
26485s | really threaten him cuz he's positioning |
26486s | so well I'd love to see sugarfree |
26488s | actually bring out the May if you want |
26490s | to keep Meritt on hit scan that's a way |
26492s | to actually isolate Sigma and turn what |
26494s | would have been just this Unstoppable |
26495s | wall into a legitimate kill Target by |
26497s | cutting off Sig from his supports maze |
26500s | damage unblockable through kinetic grasp |
26502s | I think this actually a potentially a |
26503s | really really good match up for Toronto |
26505s | if you want to play a rush style if you |
26507s | want to confirm lock in hit skin then |
26508s | may is another way to put a ton of |
26510s | pressure on vasta and really punish him |
26512s | for his hero pool yeah I mean we've |
26514s | definitely seen a lot of teams taking |
26516s | different approaches to Midtown in |
26517s | general uh aari is definitely something |
26519s | we've also seen as Jack Jack's face |
26523s | riding with joy uh interested of course |
26526s | the series one1 right now so everything |
26529s | is still up for grabs as they are |
26530s | fighting for their tournament lives uh |
26533s | Jack and Rose how we feeling about |
26536s | Midtown I love Midtown I don't want to |
26538s | see his lari that's what I don't want to |
26540s | see lari goes crazy on Midtown probably |
26542s | the only map you can really play arari |
26544s | right now to be fair well that's howc |
26546s | students the game on it yeah L life I |
26548s | wish you could play it on more maps |
26549s | honestly but it's just too easy to |
26551s | isolate sadly I don't think we'll see |
26553s | here if we do I'll be one happy boy but |
26556s | have to wait and see what Toronto Define |
26557s | want to pull out here of course an Rose |
26560s | they got flattened on watch point to |
26562s | broa we're going to jump in to Midtown |
26564s | though map number three here in the |
26566s | lower brackets loser goes home Toronto |
26568s | Defiance want to continue their speed |
26572s | run but you heard it from the desk watch |
26575s | Point jalter not necessarily a map that |
26578s | ants were ever expected to win they |
26581s | still had an opportunity to put a good |
26582s | fight out there but look forward to the |
26585s | next one look forward to the birds more |
26588s | birds on |
26589s | Midtown |
26591s | okay do they just keep adding more birds |
26594s | every single |
26595s | match seen those birds when when they |
26597s | under the maybe maybe that's just the |
26599s | The Pride yes they they updated the |
26602s | pride one they added more |
26604s | birds mid down with more |
26607s | birds that's going to be the next April |
26608s | Fool's patch you know just for you yeah |
26611s | oh my God that' be terrifying it once |
26613s | again locking this ash rose something we |
26616s | mentioned on Busan has not really seen a |
26618s | whole bunch you can play that this very |
26620s | extended range is super clean Cassidy a |
26623s | bit more favorable bit more survivable |
26625s | and the magnate is very annoying to play |
26627s | around if you're like a dive hero but |
26629s | when you have a back line like R and on |
26631s | the BR in the B so hard to deal with it |
26633s | is very difficult to deal with but maybe |
26635s | one way you can do that just run at it |
26638s | that's why we're going to see M actually |
26639s | switch off of the Sig that V is so well |
26641s | known for and think about this ratra to |
26644s | attack this first point you've got the |
26646s | Lucio behind you Masa can make those |
26648s | rotations much faster and you have to |
26650s | shield from Vesta to at least also help |
26653s | make sure you're not taking too much |
26654s | poke from something like that Ash but |
26656s | they're taking a train car approach to |
26659s | this first point yeah they really want |
26662s | to get someone off of this High ground |
26664s | and just set Kai up with a nice |
26666s | angle sometimes it's kind of frustrating |
26668s | to duel the ash soier she can routinely |
26673s | just pop shots and you have to go for |
26674s | those one of those charge up rail gun |
26675s | shots but that's a good first kill for |
26677s | an pushing in pushing onto someone |
26680s | hopping the Nemesis for and just |
26681s | clocking him now the mega Health back |
26684s | room is where Toronto the fire will |
26686s | Scurry to however look at the speed the |
26689s | aggression from ANS vager is in a whole |
26692s | heap of hurt here shoved in the bridge |
26695s | pushed out of the room and there we go |
26697s | that should be the first point Haven |
26699s | started capping however for these l |
26701s | kills should almost guarantee it that |
26703s | was a huge immortality feel from Ghost |
26705s | though while everybody was hunkered down |
26707s | in that small room that immortality |
26709s | field able to keep everybody alive allow |
26711s | Kai to be able to get such a big pick |
26713s | and CER to follow up that damage as well |
26715s | so even though it took a little bit |
26716s | while to get off the ground you do have |
26719s | this first point capture going the way |
26721s | of an they unlock this payload and they |
26723s | can start to get the ball rolling and so |
26727s | much to work with ghost being alive with |
26729s | all that burst healing as well as been |
26731s | able then net him this amplification |
26733s | Matrix not a bad way to be able to try |
26735s | to pressure Toronto off of this High |
26737s | ground or even just help boost up some |
26739s | of this damage here from Kai |
26741s | Annihilation on the board two honestly |
26743s | an is going to have everything to throw |
26744s | at this next fight as someone is also |
26746s | switch to the malga big switch up here |
26749s | for Toronto to try to deal with this |
26750s | ratra |
26753s | monoo just waiting for that am speed |
26756s | waiting for pad to get a little bit of |
26757s | distance here then potentially push this |
26759s | High Ground |
26761s | see slowly but surely keer is moving the |
26763s | B as vea takes an off anle still boing |
26765s | towards that Annihilation 5% away quite |
26768s | easy to get damage |
26769s | in no sh |
26774s | there look at that Rupa 2 actually has |
26776s | the amplification Matrix to answer to |
26778s | ghosts when that gets laid down but this |
26780s | card has been making progress this |
26782s | entire time already going to be |
26783s | underneath this tunnel as we now see |
26786s | everything get lose yeah there's the |
26787s | annihilation unfortunately Kev forc to |
26789s | recall but he's having his own little |
26790s | one V one |
26791s | in the tunnels but it's fola that ends |
26793s | up going down that sound bar from F not |
26795s | quite |
26796s | saving the front liners and well Keo |
26799s | like I said wasn't really in that fight |
26801s | at all was having to duel sugarfree both |
26803s | po bombs in the hands just want to be |
26805s | able to join the team fight C the P then |
26807s | run back to the payload but |
26808s | unfortunately Kev couldn't play |
26809s | aggressively in that Rec it's going to |
26811s | be tough now for toron to F to actually |
26814s | get taken off of this High Ground too |
26815s | Vega's going to have this rally one of |
26818s | the advantages of having the verita not |
26820s | necessarily Lucio is you can actually |
26821s | take these brawls a little bit better |
26823s | knowing that you have that extra rally |
26824s | Health going to get pop now in response |
26827s | really nice boot there from V you see |
26829s | the whip shot come out as soon as that |
26830s | rail gun goes over |
26833s | clock it connected oh and it connected |
26835s | witha the perfect Target for Toronto to |
26838s | there guy trying to get round malga just |
26841s | somehow just weaving around him and |
26844s | attempting to get shots in but ronto def |
26846s | F they're going to stand all that pulse |
26847s | B from sugar three couldn't have been |
26849s | better |
26851s | on one HP someone please heal him hello |
26854s | okay all good they get back to the team |
26857s | gives over a little bit more healing |
26858s | overas and ghost as well since now |
26861s | making another rotation besta over to |
26864s | the sigma they using that Annihilation |
26866s | and not getting much with it was back to |
26869s | something that's a little bit more |
26870s | comfortable to deal with this Mala The |
26872s | Shield Fair a little bit better to stop |
26873s | a lot of that incoming gun damage but |
26877s | this car is so awkward because you have |
26879s | to figure out a way to actually pressure |
26880s | Toronto off of this you're hoping maybe |
26882s | amplification Matrix is one way to help |
26884s | you or just BR force your way through |
26886s | mer has been farming damage to these |
26887s | Bobs are coming up so rapidly good stick |
26889s | onto Vega better lamp though from rupo |
26891s | saving the brck here comes to z bar in |
26894s | amongst that cage oh by the oh by the |
26897s | way ke stealing the bot the whole time |
26900s | and say come at us Bros no problem |
26903s | kevster and uh just deciding not to One |
26906s | V one there as K just steals the B |
26908s | unable to even throw the B out |
26911s | everyone just piled onto that corner and |
26912s | kepster took perfect advantage of it |
26914s | just stole it away from if it was |
26916s | anybody I would expect to do that keer |
26918s | going to do it twice in the Dallas Ma so |
26921s | far keer though going to switch to the |
26924s | Kenji a little bit better in these |
26927s | vertical areas that you have on this |
26929s | third point but yeah Bob not being used |
26932s | in last fight that last fight means that |
26933s | they do have it now a little bit more of |
26935s | an insurance policy to have as his |
26937s | payload so to get ever closer to that |
26939s | final point |
26941s | but here's the impation Matrix first |
26942s | from Ghost as everybody just KS away |
26944s | from him from Toronto until you see this |
26946s | flops oh they catch two and those PS are |
26948s | so separated too that lamp had to go one |
26951s | way or the other and it did not go |
26952s | someone's way they used it to save Merit |
26955s | in the end Meritt gets the ball off but |
26956s | I mean the Bob's going to get insta kill |
26958s | they focus it down perfectly and and |
26960s | just continue this pay going VAs on the |
26963s | point had to use that bash to get out of |
26965s | there pops the rally trying to save |
26966s | through P but sugarfree with this over |
26968s | Health might be the Difference Maker |
26970s | with this post spot but F just |
26971s | permanently under 50% HP as an |
26974s | springboard back into this fight it's a |
26976s | slow burn but enter continuing to |
26978s | whittle away at this car progress Kai |
26980s | with an overclock two he just wants to |
26982s | wait for those sights to line |
26983s | up going wi too I mean sugar free needed |
26986s | to connect that onto Kai here comes the |
26988s | overclock escort service by vest here as |
26991s | he walks Kai around the sidelines he |
26994s | trying to get an angle on the back line |
26996s | bega taking a rail gun shot to the chest |
26998s | ends up bashing away and using their own |
27000s | window as sort of a pseudo cover no |
27002s | one's going to peek that at your end you |
27004s | can see them kind of lining up behind |
27005s | this large pillar but now is the time to |
27007s | strike a beat into the back line as K |
27009s | spots his prey a rock onto Meritt but he |
27011s | still stands tall K with a nice little |
27013s | deflect kill onto Meritt there a final |
27015s | Shen Landing directly in his skull and |
27018s | in they're going to push on forward keer |
27021s | with two kills already in this fight a |
27023s | SP position is good for Toronto to F |
27025s | here and K is keeping them in this fight |
27027s | but it's taking too long to end taking |
27029s | way too long to end which means that all |
27031s | of these respawns from Toronto playing |
27033s | are going to overwhelm the rest of the |
27034s | forces here from they've got to go back |
27037s | to the drawing board they held onto this |
27039s | blade it is going to be over a minute |
27041s | left in the clock for them to still try |
27042s | to get that extra little bit of meterage |
27045s | the amplification Matrix one great way |
27047s | to be able to open up this fight and |
27049s | then the blade and the gravitic flux to |
27051s | pretty powerful combination on board |
27052s | here for an but they're going to have to |
27054s | get through this Rally from Vega that's |
27056s | coming up very |
27057s | shortly yeah one minute to go like you |
27059s | mentioned |
27061s | this lab |
27062s | cannot go wide here if your ghost you |
27065s | have to just be patient with it patient |
27068s | he was every crashes back down but it's |
27070s | actually ghost that ends up getting |
27071s | taken out by Meritt in the skies 30 |
27074s | seconds end need to find a reset here |
27076s | but look at the low Health on their |
27078s | entire roster Master inest chased down |
27080s | and sugar free trying to make it a |
27082s | little bit more difficult than to come |
27084s | back but K narrowly escapes of his life |
27087s | he does but that's the important thing |
27089s | they get a chance to attack this once |
27090s | again is a full team of five waiting for |
27092s | Maza to come back out means that they do |
27094s | have a huge potential to get in here |
27096s | quickly and they still have all those |
27098s | tools to work with only getting the |
27099s | gravitic flux out of Toronto is still |
27101s | one less ultimate to have to worry about |
27103s | as the clock starts to wind down oh Mar |
27106s | on the side the do they know I don't |
27109s | think so Bob through the window and now |
27111s | you have to deal with him and Mer on a |
27113s | flying besta just isolated Bob just |
27116s | doing so much work there for Toronto def |
27118s | find |
27120s | and there's the payload stopped just |
27123s | before third H didn't see that one come |
27126s | in one bit for Bob such a great tool to |
27129s | split up the team split up their focus |
27132s | they need the rally on top of that too |
27134s | which made it easy pickings to go after |
27136s | the side that you wanted to the most |
27138s | fantastic way for Toronto F to end that |
27141s | map but and still made that payload go |
27144s | very far almost hit the finish line for |
27147s | their attack |
27148s | push well the map will end here that is |
27151s | exactly what we know right now at least |
27154s | an now get their chance to attack I've |
27157s | really liking |
27163s | Merit how was that |
27165s | [Applause] |
27166s | possible what Dev is in the audience |
27169s | right now making sure they put |
27174s | more the next APR Fool's patch will be |
27177s | more pigeons and you can use them as |
27179s | OverWatch watch Heroes I don't know |
27181s | throw them throw hey see look the a agre |
27186s | definitely agrees with that the bullets |
27188s | are pigeons the googly eyes it's just |
27190s | like a pigeon hat or like a a pigeon |
27192s | mask all the pigeon Cosmetics it's your |
27195s | worst |
27197s | nightmare take a look at ends on the |
27199s | defense kevster going over to the May |
27203s | really survivable hero and also going to |
27205s | make these Close Quarter fights just a |
27206s | little bit harder if you see the match |
27209s | something the death talked about are |
27212s | very good at this may pick able to help |
27214s | create a little bit more territory for |
27216s | ends to work around with but look at |
27218s | this trying to F maybe pulling their |
27221s | best space station gaming look right now |
27224s | as someone's going to be coming out on |
27225s | the |
27226s | Reinhard yeah a little |
27230s | cosplay wrap around onto the point |
27233s | exactly their game I mean h have so much |
27235s | experience though against this called f |
27237s | playe space over in EU L used pretty |
27241s | early by rupall what a shot by ghost |
27243s | taking down sugarfree and look at this |
27245s | and fighting the laat exactly where you |
27247s | want to be oh my word you're not going |
27249s | to survive that unfortunately even with |
27251s | that giant Rin Hammer you see someone |
27253s | only 20% alt charge you're expecting him |
27255s | to have like 5060 if he was swinging the |
27257s | whole time but he's trying to hold the |
27258s | shield protect the rest of his team |
27260s | maybe helping Merit secure kills but not |
27262s | to be ends collapse and |
27265s | crushing Ando is able to take these |
27267s | really long off angles too with k |
27270s | sojourn have a little bit more one shot |
27272s | potential with those charge up rail gun |
27273s | shots but you're looking at Toronto |
27275s | taking a different approach to things |
27277s | now don't want to go to the laundry |
27279s | they're going to see where ends are |
27281s | coming from and actually just bamboozle |
27282s | them go underneath the |
27285s | car yeah they're just going to go |
27287s | directly under one of a deault route to |
27290s | take they know vea is off The High |
27293s | Ground right now taking a lot of damage |
27295s | just jumping there there is a small |
27296s | little Gap you trying to shoot someone's |
27298s | feet under there taking a lot of time |
27300s | are 2 and 1 half minutes to |
27302s | go gets Ned but it's a k looking for |
27305s | this off angle here disrup shot in the |
27307s | door we 3 HP narrowly escapes oh and |
27310s | look at that that wall is |
27312s | perfect group all gets isolated a |
27314s | perfectly placed wall by keer stops him |
27317s | from rejoining the rest of his team he's |
27319s | doing up killing ghost but not sure |
27321s | matter all too much mer on The High |
27322s | Ground a very Scrappy aair so far as mer |
27326s | trying to take names and numbers as |
27327s | Toronto to fight they're try to move |
27329s | towards boy look at s's HP it's all the |
27332s | Merit show right now Mara with the |
27334s | Cheerios can't get it done |
27337s | oh dropping the |
27342s | bag deserved I think though that he's |
27345s | able to actually earn the first point |
27346s | there for Toronto to F breaks through |
27349s | such a difficult hold that an had any of |
27352s | those Close Quarter fights going the way |
27353s | and so far but Toronto fight opening up |
27356s | this payload and falling so quickly |
27359s | though means that they are able to get |
27361s | very forward position on the secondo |
27363s | defense and they have so many tools to |
27365s | work with kevster though goes down with |
27367s | the Blizzard Man K got popped there yeah |
27371s | you can see the game plan there was keep |
27372s | the corner W throw the blizzard out and |
27375s | hopefully find some kills but I mean |
27377s | Meritt he's the sheriff of this town Kai |
27381s | popping the overclock but he does not |
27383s | care my God he is light out just give it |
27388s | to him let him hang Meritt |
27392s | mer just another day in the office look |
27395s | look at that no smile no nothing so cool |
27399s | calm and collected as they gear up for |
27401s | this next fight Toronto taking The High |
27404s | Ground away from an still unable to use |
27407s | the Blizzard or the flux here comes the |
27410s | flux though that is so early he going to |
27413s | get no actually catch anybody they stick |
27414s | up the door yes it can another beautiful |
27417s | War by keer but now they're locked in |
27418s | here with a blizzard sound barriers on |
27421s | either sides they need to come out but |
27423s | fers I think that that may have been an |
27425s | a I'm not entirely sure but they end |
27428s | just cleaning up here with the help of |
27430s | Kai mer eventually shut down the wall |
27433s | comes out from K again isolating someone |
27436s | they eventually slay him they've stopped |
27438s | the payload but for how long I really |
27441s | like the game plan though from Toronto |
27443s | to the fact that they're able to freeze |
27446s | through the blizzard they use the |
27447s | amplification Matrix once everybody in |
27449s | end with also caught up by that but |
27451s | we're going to see sugar free switch |
27452s | over to the Tracer so no more may that |
27456s | side someone's still sticking to the |
27457s | raater the annihilation coming up for |
27459s | them very quickly but 2 and 1 half |
27461s | minutes left for them to try to make |
27463s | some progress on the second point and |
27466s | look at that sugar free actually trying |
27467s | to push the pressure that payload is |
27470s | moving finally ends sniff out what's |
27473s | happening here but maybe not before |
27475s | sugar free is able to get |
27476s | away C so much space though look I would |
27480s | just take the side ground master and |
27483s | keer just Chase sugar three through a |
27486s | recall managed to claim the kill too now |
27488s | they have to fight this High Ground W no |
27490s | one can escape unfortunately there mer |
27491s | rolled on top of it after getting booed |
27493s | up into the sky and I think that AED him |
27495s | more than it actually hindered him the |
27497s | annihilation from someone is going to |
27499s | rip and tear him on this High Ground a |
27501s | minute and 40 seconds to go for Toronto |
27504s | they got firm control of this payload |
27505s | now give him a much better advantage |
27508s | point to be able to get those well they |
27510s | can they've got the Dead Eye they're |
27513s | also just going to be able to push them |
27514s | all back here speed boost Dead Eye |
27516s | Dodges the wrong there's the grass |
27519s | pushed out of it oh eventually slang 2 m |
27521s | to go ke's Got The Touch here so they |
27524s | don't get a free cap but he's need to |
27526s | perform a miracle at this point to keep |
27528s | him alive and maybe a miracle is what |
27531s | he's seen in his future rupall ends up |
27533s | going down but someone in Sugar fre |
27535s | eventually come back another Scrappy |
27537s | affair on this point it's only Vega the |
27539s | luo player just trying to dance trying |
27541s | to get that one m in eventually they |
27545s | claim the point again and secure it but |
27547s | look at how close it is 1.16 M and just |
27552s | a miracle that they managed to come back |
27553s | in that one but now they have to deal |
27555s | with this sound barrier coming through |
27556s | from Vega they go fast here Rose it |
27558s | could be all over not a bad strategy for |
27559s | Toronto though to just to try to give |
27561s | enough time for this payload to make its |
27563s | way to that checkpoint before having to |
27565s | use anything but now they have ultimates |
27566s | in order to ensure that it's going to be |
27568s | able to get the job done and don't have |
27570s | the sound barrier up quite yet Kai has |
27572s | the overclock up that he can [ __ ] now |
27574s | but you do have the sound barrier that |
27576s | Vegas held on to just going to dodge |
27578s | away from this overclock Kai finding a |
27581s | nice couple of angles here but still |
27582s | scared to peek that window s coming |
27584s | through from Vega and Marshall at the |
27585s | same time there so both beats utilized |
27587s | and sub to sugar free to put pressure on |
27589s | this back line a nice little bo on to |
27591s | ghost someone follows her up with a kill |
27593s | a little Haymaker there knocking goes |
27594s | for six and sugarfree chasing down Mara |
27598s | and Ice Still cherry on top with the |
27599s | stick to but best's arms to a crisscross |
27602s | he managed to survive that PSE bomb but |
27604s | with not much health remaining there's |
27607s | the point and Toronto have victory in |
27610s | their sights now but they haven't got a |
27611s | lot of time to do it in not a lot of |
27614s | time but maybe exactly what they need is |
27617s | someone is going to have that |
27618s | Annihilation up soon for this next fight |
27620s | ghost though with his amplification |
27622s | Matrix might be able to help turn the |
27623s | tides in 's favor but these these team |
27626s | fights need to be clean they need to be |
27628s | fast these mid Nation need to also be |
27631s | swift want to make it through with this |
27633s | time bank a minute's not a lot left to |
27635s | work with not a lot of time at all Rose |
27639s | here comes the window deadly in the |
27640s | right hands K is those hands most |
27643s | definitely fully charged rail gun but |
27645s | mer takes down ghost he's on a nice at |
27648s | Lango oh the double tap onto kevster is |
27651s | disgusting that lamb is going to |
27654s | save is there nothing this man can't |
27658s | do stone cold killer faced with zero |
27662s | emotion blood running through his veins |
27664s | as hot as anything I mean it there is |
27667s | nothing that can stop Meritt when he is |
27669s | on fire like this but he knows the job |
27671s | isn't done just yet he's going to try to |
27673s | push the advantage just a little bit |
27674s | forward but there's only one more fight |
27676s | that Toronto F need in order to take |
27678s | this map and take the lead in the series |
27680s | trying to step right up that high being |
27683s | pushed forward with that speed boost |
27686s | that blue box of victory in their sights |
27687s | as the annihilations are pulled on the |
27689s | point both RS staring each other but the |
27691s | sound bar from Vega might just be the |
27693s | one to do it a pul bom coming through |
27695s | from sugar free in just a moment as |
27697s | health bar is getting torn apart however |
27699s | the master sound barrier comes in just |
27701s | in time a hellary pulse bot goes wide as |
27704s | OT ticks down as an come out clutch Mar |
27708s | sound bar saves them with the final |
27710s | hurdle as an secure the |
27713s | [Applause] |
27716s | map that came down to the wire there |
27720s | Toronto F just not able to put enough |
27724s | pressure onto that defensive end in |
27726s | order to bully their way through the |
27728s | respawns too much for them and then that |
27730s | sound barrier at the end from Masa as |
27733s | you put it just the final nail of the |
27735s | coffin for them to be able to secure |
27736s | that defense and the map they're going |
27737s | to lead the series right now so clutch |
27740s | there at the very end to keep besta |
27741s | alive in that Annihilation pretty hard |
27744s | to take down a ram when he's uh Crossing |
27745s | his arms like that with all that extra |
27747s | armor and whatnot but Mara coming in |
27749s | close I mean sugar freeze PSE B that |
27751s | connected maybe they turn that one |
27753s | around as well but it was such a hell |
27754s | Mar and ghost almost predicted that one |
27756s | as well you can see him kind of backing |
27757s | up as soon as you saw sugarfree getting |
27759s | close and on Match Point now 2 to one in |
27763s | the series all toss to the desk they can |
27765s | break that down one down and set us up |
27767s | for the next one well indeed thank you |
27769s | so much ancra and Jack Jake and Johnny |
27774s | what a series this has been n is playing |
27776s | this one so very close in fact they are |
27778s | now pulling ahead head and are finding |
27780s | themselves on Match Point heading into |
27782s | this map or rather into the series as a |
27784s | whole merid uh Jake you said is the |
27787s | player you're watching out for here and |
27789s | not just because there's a lot of |
27790s | personal connection for you it is the |
27792s | player you wanted to see popping off |
27793s | that's exactly what he's been delivering |
27795s | I mean I think he's one of the most |
27796s | exciting players in the game right now |
27798s | and that's because of what he can do in |
27799s | matches this guy pops off to another |
27801s | level sometimes in these clutch |
27803s | scenarios I mean that attack was like a |
27805s | 1v5 I mean I think he got almost all |
27807s | five elims all head shot back to back to |
27810s | back I mean when this guy catches fire |
27812s | he reaches a level that I've rarely seen |
27815s | any player in the history of the game |
27816s | attain and attain consistently and so |
27818s | he's someone I'm very very interested to |
27820s | watch as the series progresses if he can |
27822s | play continue to play at this level I |
27823s | think Tron def they might be down in the |
27826s | series but I I still have so much |
27827s | confidence in them also one thing I |
27829s | really liked about th defiant it's the |
27830s | playmaking that they're doing as well we |
27832s | saw for example on the defense merth |
27834s | comes in clutch with a huge flank |
27836s | putting the ball of course and if you |
27837s | can keep those flanks going if you can |
27839s | make make plays like that if you can be |
27841s | a the aggressor and initiator in that |
27843s | regard I think that's a really good sign |
27844s | because for the most part did feel like |
27846s | M was in control that series kevster had |
27848s | a really good May the blizzards the |
27850s | walls made a big difference especially |
27851s | as TR 35 came out playing that Riner |
27853s | composition you saw the kevster |
27855s | separated the tank from the backline and |
27857s | that set up from place but even on point |
27858s | B you know the blister from keer really |
27860s | good so I do think that as Esports are |
27862s | they're kind of in control of this |
27864s | series now of course this was their map |
27866s | pick after losing jalter so it's a map |
27868s | they're really comfortable on but on if |
27870s | Toronto to fight now we can't like in |
27872s | the post game Jake talk about Merit B |
27875s | versus 5 I feel like it's for the rest |
27876s | of Toronto to fight as well here to come |
27878s | up clutch and start to figure out how do |
27880s | we deal with the compositions and what |
27882s | MC SP are doing I'd love to hit on those |
27884s | compositions actually let's go big a |
27886s | picture here at what we saw because |
27887s | there was a lot of counter swapping |
27889s | happening I I mean to be honest I think |
27891s | what this MCH showed me is that when |
27893s | Toronto doesn't have a decisive comp |
27895s | advantage and on mtown they're for the |
27897s | most part mirroring like a little bit of |
27899s | ramp a little bit of Sig a few swaps |
27900s | here and there I think Ker's flexibility |
27902s | I'm glad you hit that Johnny because I |
27904s | think you know when we talk about DPS |
27905s | flexibility as we have all tournament |
27907s | long I mean who better to represent that |
27909s | than kevster this guy's the original |
27911s | hyperflex player has been playing every |
27913s | DPS hero in the game for as long as I |
27915s | can remember playing against this guy I |
27916s | mean I think the May is one of those you |
27918s | don't see as often but it's a vintage |
27919s | keer Pi he's Elite on the hero and when |
27922s | Toronto does not generate the advantage |
27924s | off of their picks individual playwise |
27926s | an is going toe-to-toe they are no easy |
27929s | opponent and so Toronto needs to keep |
27931s | that Advantage going based on the |
27932s | strategy based on the pi that's their |
27934s | road to get a decisive win if an can |
27936s | just force things into a mirror they've |
27938s | proven that they have what it takes to |
27940s | win the series absolutely now is going |
27942s | to be Toronto's map pick obviously uh we |
27946s | are now down to a lot fewer choices if |
27950s | you will for them is there any |
27951s | particular map you feel like they have |
27953s | their eyes set on anything they could |
27954s | really strategically pull out of the hat |
27957s | which would give them the advantage I |
27958s | feel like you were probably leaning that |
27960s | you get more kind of value out of |
27962s | picking a push map here because there is |
27964s | some difference to the push Maps I'd shy |
27966s | away from colosio personally because |
27968s | that maybe opens the door for ends to |
27970s | play maybe a sigma we've seen some of |
27971s | the teams they like to play the longer |
27973s | hit scan Heroes on there you know they |
27974s | like to get onto The High Ground of |
27976s | colosio slow things down and then find |
27978s | those opening picks before the opponent |
27980s | really has a chance to push into your |
27981s | territory right I do feel like maybe you |
27983s | want to go to an asiran here it's a map |
27985s | we haven't really seen so far this |
27986s | tournament but it's a map you're really |
27987s | comfortable on and if memory serves me |
27989s | right NC Sports is a map that they |
27991s | primarily played Chase on in the past |
27992s | you know especially in a very different |
27994s | meta back then because you actually were |
27996s | able to play stuff besides MAA for |
27998s | example uh but I do feel like espona |
27999s | could be a pretty solid pick here or you |
28002s | know we've seen a couple of teams like |
28003s | space station they're happy to go to a |
28004s | flas point pick like new junk City for |
28006s | example if you don't want to play Sasa |
28008s | which usually is the default I mean I |
28010s | think Toronto they're they're a very |
28012s | strategic team I think they will go with |
28013s | the push m i I would take es bronza if I |
28015s | was in their position I think that gives |
28016s | them the closest range engagements the |
28018s | best option to run over Vista get him |
28021s | off Sigma or at least if he's going to |
28022s | be on Sigma he's going to have to cross |
28025s | difficult Corners where you know it's |
28026s | super easy to get your backline just |
28028s | completely dominated whether it's the |
28029s | malga whether it's the Winston es Bron I |
28031s | think is the best Winston map of the |
28033s | push three and so if you wanted to bring |
28035s | it back to the Winston that's been so |
28036s | successful for you on Toronto defant |
28038s | then you go to ESP bronza even if it is |
28039s | the malga whether they want to take it |
28042s | as with like the May rush and of the |
28043s | sigma whatever their strategic choice is |
28045s | I think all in all you're putting ant on |
28047s | the back foot picking ESP bronza so |
28048s | that's what I expect and we haven't |
28050s | really seen the MAA pick come out from |
28051s | NC Sports at all right so there's no |
28053s | guarantee that even if you go to esparon |
28055s | and maybe you're in danger of facing |
28056s | that MGA maybe it's not a composition |
28058s | that NC Sports want to play right but it |
28060s | does seem like after especially map one |
28062s | and now Midtown as well Toronto defi |
28064s | they're happy to settle into that rro |
28065s | composition so maybe that's something |
28067s | they want to keep doing with some more |
28068s | Minor Adjustments I just do think that |
28071s | TR to F they have so many options here |
28073s | i' honestly like to see the MAA but if |
28075s | again it's not something they really |
28076s | practice going into this tournament |
28077s | maybe they didn't expect MAA to be that |
28079s | powerful I'm not sure maybe they don't |
28082s | feel like they can be quite as |
28083s | aggressive as some of the Korean teams |
28084s | we've seen who execute the over on Strat |
28086s | perfectly where you go deep with the |
28088s | over one right maybe TR not as |
28090s | comfortable with that those deep pushes |
28092s | I feel like ASA should be the map pick |
28093s | here it's overall been a really played |
28095s | map and I think it would serve the |
28097s | compositions that we've seen from |
28099s | Toronto uh so far right on so that's |
28101s | what you guys want to see you know what |
28102s | I want to |
28104s | see you want to that that's what I |
28108s | want what what is this pizza doing |
28111s | they're eating the frame it's rough out |
28113s | here and the streets are real on Midtown |
28116s | how they go so much strength to break a |
28118s | bird Pizza birds do |
28122s | what is wait I's got the confetti too |
28126s | like they're celebrating the |
28129s | pigeons are they yeah do we really need |
28131s | to celebrate the pigeons really yeah |
28133s | yeah we do actually I mean it is on |
28134s | Midtown which uh is based on New York |
28137s | and that's the biggest P population |
28141s | million pigeons in New York I'm |
28143s | surprised it's not like or |
28145s | something it's really not Italy like |
28148s | Rome it's it's New York it's New York we |
28150s | need Matt for a fact check I think go |
28153s | ahead he's not going to give me an |
28154s | answer at all he's he's never outside he |
28157s | doesn't |
28158s | know know after that I need to see the |
28161s | someone make a pigeon fan |
28163s | cam like a fan edit yeah exactly you |
28166s | need a pigeon fan it's going to be real |
28169s | yeah I'm speaking in existence well look |
28171s | at that though we've got our next map in |
28173s | the series Johnny was talking maybe |
28176s | about being able to see esparon but |
28178s | we've got coloso push M coming up next |
28181s | all right chosen by Toronto defiant |
28183s | to what do you expect we're going to see |
28185s | here from Toronto CU an bit more of a |
28188s | telegraph in terms of competition here |
28191s | as we head into our fourth |
28193s | map so an looking good Toronto toine and |
28198s | an EU versus is na they've been slugfest |
28201s | so far and this is no |
28204s | different maybe what is different though |
28207s | is seeing Toronto defiant in this |
28209s | position this has been the hardest |
28210s | series for them so far in the |
28215s | tournament and ANS they're sitting right |
28218s | now at the potential of sending them |
28223s | home cannot believe that this is maybe |
28226s | where Toronto Defiance end could run but |
28229s | but this is their pick this is where |
28231s | they believe that they can start to turn |
28233s | things around and maybe it's all off the |
28235s | back of Z |
28242s | MAA all right and in Toronto they're out |
28245s | the doors on the way to the |
28247s | bot malga versus the sigma and Toronto |
28252s | again kind of picking the Malo to try |
28253s | and counter out the sigma comp they want |
28254s | to just get behind him as quickly as |
28256s | possible but how easy is it going to be |
28258s | knowing that keer has picked up the may |
28260s | this may going to be a great tool to |
28262s | isolate out this Mala and even just be |
28264s | able to slow down some of that |
28268s | aggression going have to go quickly |
28270s | Force out the wall first there it is Big |
28272s | cool down already gone nice rock I think |
28274s | b h by that rock there look at those |
28276s | head shot coming through from Meritt |
28277s | though no l no nothing is going to save |
28279s | you from that |
28280s | unfortunately ghost L going quite uh |
28283s | quite by the way side there there Kai |
28285s | just slides on in Merit his aim is |
28289s | crispy clean even on a bad day he looks |
28292s | too |
28293s | good switching over to the Genji now |
28296s | just for going the M completely there |
28298s | not many uh I mean in mid you can |
28300s | definitely play a pick like that but as |
28302s | it gets more wide and open it's so much |
28304s | more tough oh oh it is but uh you can't |
28308s | even try when Vega takes you down like |
28310s | that |
28312s | nice so close the do is wide open here |
28315s | for Toronto to just keep making this |
28317s | progress least the spawns are close keer |
28320s | can come back into the conversation very |
28323s | quickly but not before Rupal might have |
28325s | this ksun Rush yeah 10% away and |
28328s | Counting I mean look they ripped this |
28331s | early they know enton going to have Al |
28332s | here of how much fighting they've been |
28334s | doing and how much damage they've been |
28335s | doing too but it's actually Kai that |
28336s | settles the score with rul there with a |
28339s | rail gun shot to the |
28341s | back and window just a nice little |
28344s | Victory firework there for end that Rush |
28347s | pulled by rall I mean that's exactly |
28349s | what you want to do right you want to be |
28350s | able to get up in their faces and just |
28352s | push them over to get that free |
28353s | checkpoint but not to be a perfect place |
28356s | ra gun shot there from Kai ended it all |
28358s | that is going to be the danger of |
28359s | Toronto defiant picking this map you've |
28361s | just gifted over maybe one of the best |
28363s | maps for Soldier and over to one of |
28365s | those lethal soldiers that we have Kai |
28368s | going to have this overclock very soon |
28370s | maybe able to PR that with something |
28371s | like this gravitic flux Vega with a |
28374s | sound barrier that's what I'm looking at |
28376s | right now to see how Vega might use this |
28378s | B up the and sugar free or just is a |
28380s | response end getting booed away has to |
28382s | deal with the L first but oh not not if |
28384s | ghost just walks out of it 1 2 three |
28386s | spashes can't quite take down the sojja |
28388s | but V was there with the |
28391s | backup only only kevster and Vesta now |
28394s | Vesta try to find a Target but everybody |
28396s | is just running rings around Rock onto |
28398s | the Lucio this should be an easy kill |
28402s | Vega just taxing the box and attacking |
28404s | the rest of his team do need to die here |
28407s | at some point there we go late death |
28409s | actually might cost him a little |
28411s | bit little bit of a late death this |
28414s | bot's not moving too much further with |
28418s | that overextended that's not something |
28421s | that Kai is going to let go unpunished |
28424s | so just like that maybe a lead Toronto |
28426s | we're able to get has been squandered |
28428s | and able to take back control of the |
28430s | spot and at least push it back to the |
28431s | neutral protect the |
28434s | robot can show suar how it's done with |
28436s | this blade in just a moment |
28439s | double head shot there with the |
28441s | shurikens he's just playing on this uh |
28444s | little bit of High Ground here using |
28445s | that glass this ends the gun first and |
28448s | going try and for some cool Downs out |
28449s | and then maybe uh finish the job off Bob |
28453s | by Merit look at all that support too we |
28456s | pop the cardiac overdrive to make sure |
28458s | he can stay alive in that one there goes |
28460s | the magnet a little bit a little bit |
28462s | wide is keer pulls the blade sugar fre |
28464s | Already Dead s keer sustain through the |
28467s | fights that cage disappear in almost |
28469s | instantly |
28471s | there got no value even though was |
28473s | trying to lock ker down and even still |
28475s | ANS going to be able to get the better |
28478s | of that fight town be invested by Botha |
28481s | masu leaves the field even to be to the |
28485s | next few that big death as well there at |
28488s | the very end they're going to take the |
28490s | lead and if they hold forward Rose if |
28492s | they get this flug they might even take |
28493s | checkpoint that's what I was thinking |
28495s | it's like even up until the moments that |
28497s | ker is able to get that triple |
28500s | so ends with the lead maybe even a |
28503s | checkpoint coming up soon but PESA with |
28505s | the flux now does he have a prime |
28507s | opportunity to use it he gets poed |
28510s | away you manag to kill Kai Kon might be |
28513s | next on The Chopping b a little bit that |
28516s | speed boost there is sugar free running |
28517s | through that Rush up he's in a small |
28519s | room resets Galore can find the initial |
28521s | kill but it's R and someone just kind of |
28523s | inting into the back line there's no |
28525s | support the the bot has been stolen |
28527s | though by |
28529s | that's going to hold this bush quite |
28531s | considerably they're not going to be |
28533s | able to get checkpoint now I think ENT |
28534s | are going to be able to well going to |
28536s | now have to fight Toto the fin coming |
28538s | off free yeah and luckily Vega is able |
28541s | to escape with his life after doing such |
28543s | a risky play but it did allow ton |
28546s | defiant to actually get another contest |
28549s | and chance at this let him get |
28552s | it very very close like1 me or something |
28556s | crazy there's the blade the flock to |
28558s | where's the target for sugarfree the |
28559s | lamp's gone but so is he takes one with |
28562s | him however but Kai and kevster of |
28565s | course they're filling the kill fee nice |
28567s | deflect kill onto Merit and that is the |
28569s | checkpoint for |
28572s | NS checkpoint off the back of the blade |
28575s | the sound bear as well okay theying the |
28578s | score a little bit but the fact that |
28579s | they have this checkpoint means that |
28580s | they do have these forward spawns for |
28583s | now can they get back into this before |
28585s | Toronto make it past this Midway point |
28588s | if got to walk into this Dead Eye from |
28591s | Meritt and it's not going to be too much |
28593s | longer until Vega has his sound bear up |
28595s | as well as another |
28597s | cage but tussling over the point again |
28599s | maybe Kai can open things up with this |
28602s | over High sped up with speed boost plus |
28605s | sustained with the Beats here comes the |
28608s | sound from Vega though from Toronto to |
28609s | find suar free first of fall and |
28612s | pressing oppressing the issue now you |
28614s | can see how trapped someone is has to |
28617s | earn this ultimate Asa no cardiac |
28619s | overdrive there and is eventually popped |
28621s | but it's not it's not early enough can't |
28624s | sustain the rest of his team through |
28625s | that fight and then you're going to win |
28627s | the midf fight once |
28629s | again they can just keep playing on the |
28631s | defense here too and they have the lead |
28635s | starting to get under sub three and A2 |
28637s | minute territory they don't have any |
28638s | ultimates right now but they just have |
28640s | to keep Tonto defiant from getting any |
28642s | sort of meaningful progress with this |
28644s | push spot they still don't have their |
28645s | own checkpoint unlocked and move that b |
28648s | forward give up that space to allow T to |
28651s | find a come back into this someone has |
28653s | this cage to throw at this next fight on |
28655s | top of him in this rush so T to find out |
28657s | multiple ways they can close the gap |
28659s | here |
28660s | on right you just want to just stall s |
28663s | here for as long as humanly possible |
28666s | they want this mid point exactly there's |
28668s | The Rush Oh already ends up going down |
28670s | cage is popped by someone however there |
28673s | Vesta he's just dominated in that cage |
28676s | really hard to do anything from a up on |
28678s | The High Ground you see ghost was trying |
28680s | to L the healing nades in but it is |
28682s | sugarfree that is cleaning out right now |
28685s | 75 plus me for an and the checkpoint |
28689s | mind you torto to F they're going to |
28691s | have a blade to work with maybe a sound |
28692s | barrier but quick regroup from end here |
28695s | might just stop him from doing SOA has |
28698s | the |
28699s | Flop ends have a chance to come back in |
28701s | to get this contest Thea has the flux |
28703s | makes it a little bit more difficult for |
28705s | turn to have that point presence but |
28707s | sugar free just goes out to the backline |
28708s | play they're going to go early oh he |
28711s | finds keer lacking on the sidelines but |
28713s | Kai makes sure he makes it even his Sola |
28716s | jumps down from the low ground isolation |
28719s | with the flux there and Toronto def they |
28721s | are bleeding out they're stuck in the |
28722s | mini health pack room and I mean a nice |
28725s | head shot onto ghost but they've lost |
28726s | control of the BX cardiac overdrive but |
28728s | a sound barrier onto |
28730s | 34 is going to force them to invest a |
28733s | whole lot more in here to win this fight |
28735s | a ni shot from Mer but immediately shut |
28738s | down |
28739s | that's going to be no clean team Fight |
28741s | Win for Toronto just yet and able to |
28745s | keep this defense up now 2 minutes off |
28748s | the clock to a minute and a half left |
28751s | potentially two more fights here if they |
28753s | are taken fast enough but ANS have the |
28755s | ultimate economy which means that they |
28758s | could just win out this map if they win |
28760s | here Jaws that's a series for ANS |
28762s | biggest upset of the tournament so |
28765s | far two DPS ultimas v as well one to |
28769s | force out the beat they want to finish |
28771s | him up and with only a minute to go |
28773s | Toronto defy no they got their backs up |
28775s | against the wall Na's last hopes and |
28777s | dreams lying in this fight one minute to |
28781s | go and the rail gun has been popped but |
28782s | so is that beat r with the rush could |
28785s | help them survive however look at how |
28787s | quickly they were to disengage the blade |
28790s | been ped by keer and there's the rush |
28792s | okay ke now has to play safe no |
28794s | additional damage coming in has to just |
28796s | back out that's two giant ultimates for |
28798s | used they don't want to overextend here |
28800s | because they know that means going to a |
28802s | map number five and end have the |
28803s | opportunity to win it out here and now |
28806s | they want to get this priv BL online but |
28808s | someone's going to have this cage up |
28809s | first 80% in building but yes someone |
28812s | with the cage and only 5% looking |
28814s | towards besta there's the window cage |
28816s | comes in ghost is already dead but K and |
28820s | Mar are going to do it the flux is |
28822s | hitting and they clean them up Toronto |
28825s | to find if only got rall left and |
28829s | they don't need to touch the B any |
28830s | longer with 10 seconds to go with 10 |
28833s | seconds left someone has the quick pick |
28834s | over to the doomfist in order to try to |
28836s | get back to the point but where in the |
28837s | world are try to get there and they've |
28839s | still got a beat to contend with and |
28842s | Na's hopes and dreams have been dashed |
28845s | ends take the series and they will |
28847s | advance in the lower bracket to meet |
28849s | their |
28850s | brothers with a Chance in the finals on |
28852s | the |
28854s | line what a show what a match a win for |
28859s | X TR to fet we're that one team |
28862s | everybody was looking at to be the hopes |
28864s | and the dreams of taking down a Korean |
28866s | team and they're knocked out here in the |
28869s | lower brackets that's it for |
28874s | them what an allar performance by an |
28877s | that is |
28879s | crazy and na domination coming to an |
28883s | end it's |
28885s | official over na |
28888s | here first Toronto goes home we said we |
28892s | say goodbye to every na team in the |
28894s | tournament now it is just an EU versus |
28896s | career tournament maybe an EU team can |
28899s | make it to the finals it's going to be a |
28901s | hardfought battle but after that end got |
28904s | to be feeling |
28907s | indestructible the road does not get any |
28910s | easier after this point they have earned |
28914s | themselves though a rematch versus their |
28916s | EU counterparts space station that was a |
28920s | seven map Grand finals the last time |
28922s | they faced each other and they get a |
28924s | chance at Revenge coming up next I mean |
28927s | Hardy wanted it right still he wanted |
28930s | ANS to make it he thought Toronto was |
28932s | going to I'm sure he's grinning ear to a |
28934s | backstage right now and take the win |
28937s | Toronto defiant the the true Kings of Na |
28940s | there was a a large tear break in |
28942s | between them and every other team it |
28944s | felt like but EU handed it to him in the |
28946s | lower bracket |
28948s | it's coming up EU for now oh man it |
28952s | might be coming up for EU even further |
28955s | in this tournament but what a fantastic |
28958s | performance by then so far well let's |
28960s | jump down to the stage we got Mara and |
28962s | Danny to give us a few words J nro thank |
28965s | you very much yep I am here with Masa |
28967s | from ends coming out from a big win |
28969s | against Toronto defiant what a match |
28971s | that was I mean you guys did a fantastic |
28974s | job Tonto find they weren't an easy easy |
28977s | opponent and you know they played two |
28978s | matches including this one was there |
28980s | anything that you guys learned from |
28981s | Toronto Defiance first match that sort |
28983s | of helped you get the win today yeah we |
28985s | have watched a lot of WS we try to like |
28987s | get their game plan going and see like |
28988s | what they want to do and how to like um |
28991s | just play against them and their style |
28993s | and I think we got a pretty good read on |
28994s | them doing the whole like series and |
28996s | let's be honest you know right before we |
28997s | started this interview you asked me hey |
28999s | uh the North American teams are all out |
29001s | right and I was like yeah they are so I |
29005s | guess is near part |
29009s | yeah I mean you guys are definitely the |
29011s | superior region I guess but I mean |
29012s | there's still Korea on top and you still |
29015s | do have one more match tomorrow it's |
29016s | going to be battle for EU I guess cuz |
29018s | you guys are going up against space |

29022s | think that game is going to be played |
29023s | out tomorrow uh it's going to be an |
29025s | absolute dog fight to be honest we we've |
29026s | been going like back and forth in EU |

29079s | he's just taking notes for his upcoming |
29080s | match against Toronto you know like seen |
29082s | cracks in the armor there but M said in |
29085s | the interview right they came prepared |
29087s | that they they went into the VA dungeon |
29089s | uh they had a good idea of what style |
29091s | they're going to go up against um they |
29093s | came prepared I think when it comes to |
29095s | flexibility for me kepster was just |
29098s | monster performing this series on every |
29100s | single hero he touched the Tracer the |
29102s | Genji the m just delivering time and |
29105s | time again yeah they hit a a speed bump |
29107s | on jalter a map that frankly they were |
29109s | destined to lose based on those comps |
29111s | but on every other map they forced their |
29113s | will on the match and Tron defiant just |
29115s | could not find the answers that a team |
29117s | like Falcons was able to bring I think |
29119s | Meritt on the hit scan was an incredible |
29120s | performer I mean he had huge pop off |
29122s | moments and yet against a sigma no |
29125s | matter how good your aim is just |
29127s | tactically it's so much more difficult |
29129s | to get to that backline I mean just not |
29130s | really what his skan Heroes do and |
29132s | Toronto def Fant they didn't have any |
29133s | more answers when it came to the mirror |
29135s | an was just the better team hands down |
29138s | yeah obviously they had a game plan |
29139s | going into uh colosio uh and you know |
29142s | I'll trust them on that because C I mean |
29144s | he's spending so many winning situations |
29145s | so they had a game plan weren't able to |
29147s | pull off the victory on colosio and now |
29149s | they'll have to go back and reflect on |
29150s | this because I mean there's still lots |
29151s | of over to be played this year of course |
29153s | got face it going on Old WCS States pry |
29155s | taking off later this fall as well so |
29158s | it's got to be sad that this is a |
29159s | disappointment for TR defiant they come |
29161s | into this tournament and we're thinking |
29163s | top three maybe we can compete with the |
29165s | Asia teams and now you go out here |
29167s | against NS an opponent that we felt for |
29169s | the most part was maybe a bit hamstrung |
29171s | by the fact that they have a stoa |
29172s | playing the tank and they don't have |
29173s | Chase available to play some of those |
29175s | different Heroes right but NC Sports |
29177s | they come out on top Here and Now |
29178s | Toronto defiant with so many Star |
29180s | players on this roster going out here in |
29182s | the lower bracket I feel like where do |
29184s | you kind of go from here well we'll find |
29187s | out very soon one thing's for sure |
29189s | though uh if we're looking at the upper |
29190s | bracket here falcons as well as raccoon |
29193s | they were the teams that really expected |
29195s | to see Toronto defined again if anything |
29198s | so now they have to shift gears and have |
29200s | to prepare for one of the EMA teams |
29202s | which is certainly very exciting is |
29203s | they're coming with some different |
29205s | flavors uh which have been bringing to |
29206s | the tournament but let's talk about |
29208s | Toronto Define a team we're going to say |
29210s | goodbye to on day number two in this |
29212s | tournament you know I think Toronto has |
29214s | just been impressive all season long in |
29215s | na they've been the kings of Na it's |
29217s | been their flexibility ability that was |
29218s | their biggest strength but today I I |
29221s | feel kevster kind of had them on that |
29222s | front right like it was it was an who |
29224s | had the Strategic advantage in a lot of |
29226s | these Maps Toronto is forced to mirror |
29228s | and traditionally that's they haven't I |
29230s | mean that's not their true strength of |
29232s | always being able to counter pick always |
29233s | coming up with a strategic Edge today |
29236s | they weren't able to bring that level of |
29237s | Advantage I think that I think it showed |
29239s | and they had some good looks I mean even |
29241s | though they lost three to Crazy raccoon |
29242s | I did feel like that was a pretty |
29244s | competitive series they were so close to |
29245s | winning circuit real Hollywood yes they |
29247s | weren't that competitive in Hollywood |
29248s | but he's still able to bring out a |
29250s | pretty competitive MAA and for |
29251s | composition right so you just kind of |
29254s | Wonder like where did it all go wrong I |
29255s | mean NC Sports a really tough opponent |
29257s | because they are so specialized on these |
29259s | compositions I think they do a perfect |
29261s | job NC Sports at playing these Sigma |
29263s | compositions and they make it really |
29265s | difficult for the opponent I think that |
29267s | someone to some degree was not playing |
29270s | his a game he wasn't truly comfortable |
29271s | on the ratra and MAA and someone is |
29274s | arguably the most hyped up tank Prospect |
29276s | we have right now because we talk about |
29277s | this first |
29278s | maybe not the case anymore well the |
29280s | thing is in in a lot of the games I |
29282s | think we saw to today and also yesterday |
29285s | it was individuals who took over the |
29287s | server and one of those individuals |
29289s | earned themselves the Porche performance |
29291s | of the match this time the honor has to |
29294s | go to ker he he's racking him up at this |
29297s | point but come on I mean if anybody was |
29299s | watching that game it's pretty clear |
29301s | where this Porche performance of the |
29302s | match was going to go kepster I think |
29305s | he's been one of the longest running |
29306s | Superstars we talked a little bit |
29308s | earlier in the tournament about goats of |
29310s | OverWatch and if you're not thinking |
29312s | kepster is in this conversation then |
29314s | think again just an incredible player an |
29316s | aspirational player frankly for pretty |
29319s | much any DPS in the world this is the |
29320s | future of OverWatch you got to play it |
29322s | all yeah I but I feel like he's really |
29324s | hungry for some of those wins right he |
29326s | had a really good stint on the Los |
29327s | Angeles Gladiators and they won a couple |
29329s | of stage championships but for the most |
29331s | part they haven't really been able to |
29332s | come true kepster in these big playoffs |
29334s | right and this is another tournament |
29336s | where back is against the wall you |
29338s | really are hungry to win some of these |
29339s | championships if you want to contest |
29340s | with that goat status right but it's |
29342s | about making deep playoff runs and now |
29344s | NC Sports again in the lower bracket |
29345s | they're playing against space station |
29347s | gaming next which could be a good match |
29348s | up for them we've heard Christopher for |
29350s | example say that n has played really |
29352s | well in scrims they've been really |
29354s | competitive in scrims so that is a good |
29355s | sign for ends whereas we considered |
29357s | space station to be a bit on top so to |
29359s | be a really even series with two |
29361s | opponents that are really familiar with |
29363s | each other tomorrow yeah let's actually |
29365s | take a look at our brackets both the |
29367s | oper as well as the lower bracket to set |
29370s | a stage for day number three of our |
29373s | tournament in the lower bracket of |
29375s | course we're going to see the |
29376s | EMA EMA battle it's been a long day uh |
29379s | between ends and space station H it's |
29381s | going to be a dark fight I can't wait |
29383s | for this one and they are very they're |
29385s | very familiar with each other so this is |
29388s | this is found to be a good one and it's |
29389s | going to be a clash of styles the Sigma |
29391s | versus potentially the Ry from partti I |
29394s | I think this could be explosive yeah I |
29396s | actually agree with that I think we |
29397s | might see more rhinard if that is the |
29399s | solution for some of the sigma that |
29401s | we've seen of course you can Flex over |
29403s | you can have um someone play that |
29405s | someone you can have Hardy you can have |
29407s | Hardy played that Winston but then I do |
29409s | think that Neola is swapping over to |
29411s | that malga it's something we saw for |
29412s | example against Falcons if they were |
29414s | swapping over to the Winston then yeah |
29416s | we're going to see the MAA come out but |
29418s | this upper bracket match Zoe between |
29421s | Falcons and crazy raccoon tomorrow oh |
29423s | man I mean that could be the match of |
29424s | the year so far it might very well be or |
29427s | it's going to be a complete blowout |
29428s | because quite frankly I mean thus far in |
29431s | this stage in their own region team |
29433s | Falcons has not been playing what |
29435s | they've been showing in this very |
29437s | tournament so this is going to be a new |
29439s | thing that uh the crazy raccoon have to |
29441s | go up against it's a new look in the |
29443s | match and honestly as much as I think |
29444s | crazy raccoon over the course of the |
29446s | season have been the stronger team |
29448s | they've had the edge over Falcons I |
29449s | think it's fair to say at this point for |
29451s | me I take Falcons in this series I think |
29453s | cutting the hit scan is is the way to go |
29455s | when it comes to the mamir and I think |
29456s | while lip is INS on the Tracer he he |
29459s | basically invented the modern play style |
29461s | of Sombra at least in the the old rework |
29463s | of Sombra he's an incredibly flexible |
29465s | player but can he match Genji and |
29467s | Venture I mean that's a really odd team |
29470s | comp Genji Tracer it's possible I think |
29472s | I think it's going to be a very very |
29473s | competitive series with a lot of |
29475s | counterpicking back and forth but I do |
29477s | expect to see the Maga really decide not |
29480s | only this semi but to be fire I based on |
29482s | what we've seen I think we have to say |
29483s | that's a preview of The Grand finals |
29485s | that's these teams first chance to run |
29486s | against each other and so far no one has |
29488s | had an answer for either of them when it |
29490s | comes to that lower bracket yeah |
29491s | historically we've seen some of these |
29492s | teams sometimes they pretty happy to |
29494s | take the dive mirror and just play the |
29495s | Winston mirror but because MAA is so |
29498s | strong this tournament I don't think |
29499s | that is going to be the case and I think |
29501s | that Maia will have a lot of say in this |
29503s | match up between these two teams is any |
29505s | of the teams going to be comfortable |
29506s | perhaps try to outpick the MAA try to |
29509s | play the sigma themselves it's going to |
29511s | be really hard to know I I would love to |
29513s | see well we're actually going to see it |
29514s | tomorrow but I just can't I can't wait |
29516s | to see so can't wait to see what they |
29519s | have in store for us tomorrow just have |
29520s | to go to bed one more time reinforce and |
29523s | then you will get to see all of the |
29525s | action uh of course we also have to |
29527s | formally say goodbye to M80 we haven't |
29529s | got an opportunity to do just that M80 |
29532s | so many phenomenal players in that team |
29535s | I mean I'm sure we're not going to see |
29536s | the last of them yeah I think they were |
29538s | really hoping to have that match for the |
29540s | the title of Na against Ral defant Oh |
29542s | that's oh come on now and I wasn't going |
29544s | to comment on a production that's rude |
29546s | really I wasn't going to comment on a |
29548s | production that's that's you got to own |
29549s | it you got to own it unbelievable if if |
29552s | we don't if we know one thing in na it's |
29554s | talking smack and you know don't dish it |
29556s | out if you can't take it that's how it |
29557s | goes well no one dished out against |
29561s | production I mean I think it's fair to |
29563s | say and na is doing its fair share of |
29565s | dishing out trash talk that's true |
29567s | that's true I they can take it they can |
29569s | take it it's all in good fun of course |
29571s | uh we know them we love them and we know |
29573s | that they're going to pop up in stage |
29575s | stream yeah look I think even though |
29577s | they didn't put their best foot forward |
29579s | here I do think that still they have |
29580s | such a lethal damage you on this team |
29582s | we'll see uh you know if they make any |
29584s | changes to this team at all I do feel |
29585s | like Toronto defiant is the team we have |
29587s | to talk about more because um you know |
29589s | they've been so competitive so far but |
29591s | they weren't really able to put it all |
29592s | together in this series right here |
29594s | Toronto to find like go in the off |
29595s | season they got the first pickings they |
29597s | got to pick all up all the players |
29599s | before some of the other teams right and |
29600s | they made it clear we want to go with |
29602s | someone and we want to go with Merit |
29603s | because we really believe in them after |
29605s | winning the over War League playoffs |
29606s | last year in 2023 uh but now falling up |
29608s | short in the owcs major this Toronto |
29611s | defi franchise they just they just can't |
29613s | go deep in the playoffs I do want to say |
29615s | just one last thing In fairness to |
29616s | Toronto defiant for me my my perspective |
29618s | is this is the first time in three four |
29622s | years where I think the real top level |
29625s | meta doesn't include a hit scan hero and |
29627s | I think that I think that's where the |
29628s | tournament will land maybe I'll be wrong |
29629s | on that but that's my current take and |
29631s | to be fair to Merit I mean he's an |
29633s | absolute monster on the role 99% of the |
29635s | time he's in his comfort zone ter apart |
29637s | the opposition today he wasn't and and I |
29640s | think that's just a very unlucky |
29641s | circumstance for a team building a |
29643s | roster around the good news is the good |
29645s | news is it's going to be a little bit of |
29646s | a break after this tournament uh to the |
29649s | start of stage number three so they have |
29651s | plenty of time to fill gaps if they feel |
29653s | like it needs to be filling it's a |
29656s | different meta this time around it's |
29657s | very flexible it's very versatile what |
29659s | the teams have been showing us thus far |
29661s | and I can't wait to see the clashes |
29663s | tomorrow we will of course be back with |
29665s | more action on day number three we're |
29667s | starting things up at 10:45 yeah it say |
29671s | so there 10:45 CT is when we're back in |
29673s | Action so make sure to tune in for now |
29675s | we're going to say goodbye thank you so |
29677s | much for watching we hope to see you |
29678s | again for all the action tomorrow thank |
