0s | defense until the inevitable give up in |
---|---|
2s | the Midfield little bit of a double |
4s | commit miscommunication whatever you |
6s | want to have it Northwood certainly |
7s | reeling a bit but if I trust any team to |
9s | be able to fix things we've seen our |
11s | fair share of reverse sweep and reverse |
12s | sweep attempts so far this weekend even |
14s | within this Sunday bracket maybe |
16s | Northwood can engineer something just |
18s | the same yeah getting shut out at forid |
20s | temples enough to wake up any team worth |
22s | their assult so hopefully we get a |
23s | little bit more of a forward Northwood |
26s | blue in game three but as it is right |
27s | now I love the fact that in this game |
30s | the of game one Knight pretty much went |
31s | to a tertiary roll and the team still |
34s | won that shows you chemistry is on point |
36s | so it's an uphill battle for Northwood |
37s | blue I think the biggest thing you can |
39s | ask for out of a team is it's great to |
40s | have one or two players that are really |
42s | your star players you want to feed them |
43s | the ball but it's even better when you |
44s | have all three players that can do that |
46s | I can say that probably about both of |
47s | these rosters but when you do kind of |
48s | rotate roles and say hey if you're |
50s | feeling it just keep on taking these |
51s | chances I want you to caught on |
52s | everything I want you to make the other |
54s | team uncomfortable and usually that |
56s | means a lot of demos a fairly clean game |
58s | I feel like we've had all throughout |
60s | everyone just focusing on the reads and |
61s | maryville's rotations they are in lock |
64s | step with each other and they just have |
65s | to hope that continues as we move on to |
67s | dfh seeing if they can engineer a sweep |
69s | over Northwood something I don't |
71s | remember the last time I've ever seen |
72s | that result come through oh wait a clean |
74s | game are you disappointed do you want |
76s | more demos like it builds character for |
78s | these kids I love it 30 seconds laps in |
81s | game three and hopefully we get a bit |
82s | more demos for Taco's sake but that said |
85s | I think the pressure is really on |
86s | Northwood to do something different and |
88s | I say that because that first Dem Mo of |
90s | the game |
90s | Knight faking out one actually is hockey |
93s | really thought he had everything covered |
94s | but turns out does have to think about |
96s | things a little bit more want to pass by |
98s | wave speed on the bar just trying to |
100s | outp spe that last Defender catching in |
103s | and that's the problem with sometimes |
104s | rushing that shot yeah absolutely |
107s | sometimes getting denied by the woodwork |
108s | is worse than getting stopped by your |
109s | opponent because of the whole thing of |
111s | it being a guaranteed goal but you want |
113s | to keep yourself locked in you really |
115s | want to shut the door you got to make |
116s | sure that didn't happen have that memory |
117s | of a goldfish and it's right there with |
119s | the button one nil mville relating wave |
122s | learning from his teammate speed speeds |
124s | this one over top but then relating wave |
126s | does not have an angle forward so shoots |
128s | it straight at the ground the bounce |
130s | shot underneath a defender on the pre |
132s | jump such a tricky thing to understand I |
134s | think zenil is going to understand |
135s | there's only so much he could have done |
137s | about that and right now there's only so |
139s | much Northwood can do to stop marville |
141s | when they have a head of steam like this |
142s | they don't look encumbered by the |
144s | situation they're in they look like |
145s | they're energized by it and certainly |
147s | they're not lacking for confidence |
149s | they're going for all the needs relating |
151s | wave from the corner this right here was |
154s | absolutely deadly North was not really |
156s | paying wrong but you had three cars in |
158s | the corners so if you get past two it |
159s | was going to be easy pickings didn't |
161s | call him doing it himself doesn't matter |
163s | two nil mville I said did I say |
166s | confident I think I'm underplaying it |
167s | from a ling wave he is looking like he's |
169s | in free play out there unlimited boost |
171s | to whatever you need poor Northwood |
174s | they're all sitting in goal on near post |
176s | but I don't think even the thousands and |
179s | thousands of hours of experience can |
180s | prepare you for read like that and to |
182s | make things worse that's not for the |
183s | lead it's too extended yeah absolutely |
186s | doing that angle was difficult to begin |
188s | with but doing that with an opponent |
189s | your face this was loose and there |
192s | barski hockey makes sure that gets on |
194s | the board and that one is really well |
196s | played by zenil I like the not the |
198s | immediate shot coming in from the right |
200s | to the center you not really able to |
201s | shoot it anywhere except on that near |
203s | post so he slows it down plays for a 50 |
205s | trust the rotation is going to click in |
207s | and now that they have a goal they have |
208s | something to maybe just take a deep |
210s | exale and say okay we at least have a |
212s | foot in now we just have to learn how to |
214s | be able to maybe take some possession |
216s | back in this Midfield maybe through Cuts |
218s | like that maybe through open shots like |
220s | that Knight is leaning backwards just |
222s | puts it over the bar I got to be honest |
224s | with that go from hockey was good to cut |
226s | the lead in half but better with car |
228s | control because that ball was in a |
229s | different angle to have that kind of |
231s | composure in the face of being down by |
234s | two shows that Northwood blue is not |
236s | broken from a team psychological |
239s | level certainly with 50s like that you |
241s | can extend these attacks and Neil that's |
242s | a creative one and he threads the needle |
245s | it's KS getting on the board and now |
247s | right before halim we're right back to |
249s | square one yeah I'm definitely feeling |
251s | the pressure from mville right you were |
252s | so close to having other shut out but |
254s | then blink you miss it now you're |
256s | equalized you're so close to having a |
259s | sweep it may slip away are they feeling |
261s | the pressure Taco do you think so well |
263s | certainly it's one of those moments as a |
265s | team where a two-goal lead most |
266s | dangerous lead in Esports because you |
268s | know one goal makes it okay it's with |
270s | and's reach the moment you lose it you |
272s | really just have to feel the confidence |
273s | cuz it's one thing to say well at least |
274s | we're not behind but knowing you had the |
276s | lead and watching the other team slowly |
278s | just march on through especially in a |
280s | backto back scenario in which it really |
282s | didn't take them that much longer to be |
283s | able to get the first into the second |
285s | getting a chain getting momentum is not |
287s | the thing you want to give Northwood and |
288s | you don't want to give hockey open shots |
290s | even from that distance easy enough save |
292s | but difficult for Mayville to get on top |
293s | of this one particularly with speed |
295s | lacking the materials to be able to get |
296s | up to this one the resource battle |
298s | starting we on mville creams bullet on |
300s | the near post that is not a clear zenil |
303s | gets a 50 for hockey to follow but he |
305s | will faint by it potentially going for a |
307s | light touch that simply wasn't there |
310s | wave to the corner Kareem's back to the |
312s | back post and knight's going to be able |
313s | to Ricochet that again oh my goodness |
316s | marville dodg a dagger if there ever was |
319s | one they were out of boo out of |
320s | opportunity and as I say that maybe they |
323s | have more Misfortune on the offing shot |
325s | top of the key and that was knocked away |
327s | and t t i' be honest with you it's been |
329s | all North with the last 60 seconds or so |
331s | yeah they're out shooting their |
332s | opponents and you can see a lot of these |
333s | shots start to ramp up really near the |
336s | end speed went underneath that first |
338s | reain almost got that bump on that last |
339s | Defender could have been just that |
341s | simple get mville back in the lead but |
343s | they keep on searching they keep on |
345s | going for these bumps but creams too |
347s | fast he's going to leap over and get a |
348s | clear but now zil needs to follow suit |
350s | relating wave gets over that one Knight |
352s | trying to pre jump hocky gets there |
353s | first but no more boost turning away his |
355s | speed despite the full tank I think |
357s | that's the apprehension I was worried |
359s | about for mville they've lost their lead |
361s | and now they don't want to dive in |
362s | unnecessarily y absolutely you don't |
364s | want to be timid on this one because |
366s | making mistakes comes from being |
368s | hesitant and marville capitalizes it's |
370s | three to two and I thought Northwood had |
372s | this too hockey doesn't get that read |
374s | but zil's right underneath it I think he |
375s | thought he didn't want to cut he didn't |
376s | want to risk hitting the break and |
378s | jumping maybe risking an awkward 50 but |
380s | it really everyone looking at it kind of |
382s | staring at each other and just saying I |
384s | think you might have it turns out the |
386s | only person that does have it is |
387s | relating wave he has all the goals for |
389s | marville |
390s | potentially the hatri hero to propel |
393s | them to a sweep to start off broadcast |
395s | yeah really no excuse there CU typically |
397s | that happens to someone like myself I |
399s | kind of blame on the hitbox mismatch |
400s | from changing cars but they were in the |
402s | octane the entire series it was just |
404s | kind of a a mistake there there ever was |
406s | one zenil not able to get that one an |
409s | awkward moment to be sure but doesn't |
411s | mean the attack is over speed can only |
413s | touch this so far into the midfield for |
414s | zenil going to the ceiling meeting |
417s | Knight so is wave being able to send |
419s | that one forward dreams not to touch you |
421s | once but that's why zenil is there the |
422s | little pop it's brilliant for 3 |
425s | three what just happened you dividing |
428s | the the laws of physics and ingame |
430s | physics seil undersides it Turtles it |
434s | and just sends it in there like male on |
436s | Sunday we're level and I love those |
438s | types of reads especially because the |
440s | defender it comes out of the Blind Side |
441s | just directly behind you and suddenly |
443s | you're saying oh I can get this clear oh |
445s | now it's popped over me and all right |
446s | well just put the control down wipe my |
448s | hands and we're going have to back again |
450s | but maybe we're not going to be able to |
452s | truly see OT because some last second |
454s | heroics are coming in from Northwood |
457s | fully boosted up his creams maybe one |
458s | more chance for him that's going to be |
460s | over top of Knight that's over top of |
462s | speed off the deflection will be able to |
464s | yield at least a little bit of time I |
466s | don't think Northwood is going to be |
467s | taken too many more chances as a Neil |
469s | just slaps that one to the sidewall |
470s | creams will try to extend but relating |
472s | wave does hit that near Target did not |
475s | have the distance OT for Northwood to |
477s | try and stay alive I bet kind of wish |
481s | they had 501 but that's not the case |
483s | over time next go |
485s | winsil potentially getting that reset |
488s | past everybody but need a bit more scoop |
490s | on that one to be outspeed he has turned |
492s | into somewhat of a defensive wall at |
494s | times for mville but where is the |
496s | defense for Northwood one player bites |
499s | and that is GG's I had no idea the pass |
503s | here self Spider-Man style was going to |
505s | be the dagger but there it is and the |
508s | twist three straight game |
510s | and we have a winner and it's not |
512s | Northwood blue let me tell you what for |
514s | those of you who are fans of Collegiate |
516s | rocket League let me tell you this is |
518s | one of the most impressive performances |
520s | we have seen and also one of the most |
522s | unexpected Northwood more or less has a |
524s | reservation in Grand finals for every |
527s | single Collegiate esport they might as |
528s | well reserve the trophies really just |
530s | get their address early on to the |
531s | tournament organizers because they are |
533s | so often the favorites they will take |
535s | down any team in their wake or at the |
537s | very least push on back the fact that |
539s | this is a sweep Novant is mindblowing to |
542s | me but it's not surprising as it could |
544s | be considering How well marville was |
546s | playing yeah I'm with you 100% if I saw |
548s | this reading the results I go what what |
550s | happened but in game one we were saying |
552s | marville closed down the space and |
554s | really doubled down their defensive |
556s | efforts on that crossbar and that |
558s | backboard to really eradicate plan one |
561s | and plan two from Northwood but as this |
563s | series went on they were just basically |
565s | in the face playing the tank role in |
568s | that mid pitch there really wasn't |
569s | connecting passes Northwood blue was |
571s | known for so he found a second way to |
573s | break down that Squad that sweep was |
575s | amazing because of how methodical it was |
578s | and being able to slowly pick apart |
580s | Northwood there was that last goal I was |
582s | a bit surprised by that but I think |
583s | those wide rotations particularly the |
585s | start of OT where everyone's trying to |
587s | think really carefully I need to |
588s | maintain my Boost I need to make sure |
589s | I'm not overc committing on something |
591s | and then there's one moment where you |
592s | might say let's go out to the corner |
593s | instead of grabbing pads and then you |
594s | turn back on ball Cam and suddenly that |
596s | Ball's On Target you can't get back in |
598s | time and I have to say it's a way to |
600s | lose but you know Northwood going to be |
602s | looking at that kind of shaking their |
603s | head saying this is the first time we've |
604s | really met a team that doesn't |
606s | necessarily stand up to us on the same |
607s | Pace but really is outpacing us it was |
609s | the first time where you see a team play |
611s | reactively so personally I'm shocked I'm |
614s | a bit blown away I'm curious to see what |
615s | the rest of the desk thinks as we throw |
617s | back to Seb and chicka to get their |
619s | thoughts uh wow okay well I guess that |
622s | reverse uh analyst Des curse kind of |
624s | goes pretty hard in this one uh |
626s | unfortunately that is Northwood first |
628s | time getting SW weeped in a bracket |
631s | since World 2023 if my recollection is |
635s | correct in saying that was against fiser |
637s | College in bracket now this time chcka |
641s | against mville this is the fresh |
642s | marville European mville yeah I mean |
645s | marville looked phenomenal night in |
647s | particular the only returning player on |
649s | that roster was consistent throughout |
651s | the series and then speed and relenting |
654s | waves are just such an impressive Duo |
657s | that are both as we mentioned from |
660s | just consistent in their history of rlcs |
663s | it it's been very impressive to watch |
666s | them play throughout the entirety of |
668s | this game and catch Northwood blue off |
671s | guard consistently I kept asking myself |
674s | where's the defense where's the defense |
676s | the shots were on target the placement |
678s | was there and they consistently caught |
681s | Northwood blue off guard on the |
683s | rotations now Taco when we're looking at |
684s | this obviously the East versus West |
686s | rivalry goes deep for a lot of these and |
689s | even though you know we do have two |
690s | European players coming in does this |
693s | mean that currently our best team is |
695s | from the |
696s | West uh yeah I mean liia shout out to to |
701s | the wonderful website for Rocket League |
703s | Esports they do have a title that says |
705s | unofficial world champion pretty much |
707s | anytime the team that wins world loses |
709s | in any competition the team that beats |
711s | them is the new winner based on that |
713s | logic and the last big Collegiate event |
715s | being the summer mville yes you get your |
717s | Vengeance you go from second place in |
718s | that summer event to now being I would |
721s | say the facto Champions the number one |
723s | team out there but of course racket's |
725s | not over yeah yeah no bracket uh isn't |
729s | over and with that obviously we still |
731s | have our losers match to go it's still a |
733s | long road I mean Northwood they have a |
735s | good chance I would say Obviously with |
738s | the two teams that are coming in but I |
740s | mean I can't remember the last time I |
742s | saw Northwood and losers for anything |
744s | really yeah it's kind of shocking to see |
746s | but you know to have a revenge tour you |
748s | need to be like wronged right so I'm not |
751s | going to count North Blue out yet |
752s | they're just that good hopefully we get |
754s | to see them in the grand finals cuz that |
755s | would be a story and a half well we will |
758s | be going to the lower end of the bracket |
761s | just shortly next up it will be Concord |
764s | versus fiser to see who will face off |
767s | against Northwood in our lower final |
770s | this is the crl we'll be right back |
777s | [Music] |
788s | I know you said stay out of this bit but |
791s | I don't get tired of it told me I never |

1376s | 3 welcome back everyone to the crl it is |
1382s | our first match that is done Northwood |
1384s | versus marville everyone it was a |
1386s | surprising result to say the least |
1388s | Northwood getting swept is something I |
1391s | don't think anyone was expecting |
1392s | considering they are our crl fall 2023 |
1395s | Champions and summer series champions |
1396s | coming into this for their first |
1398s | tournament of the crl semester and they |
1401s | are now in lowers but with that they |
1403s | will be facing off against whoever is |
1406s | the winner of our next season series |
1409s | it's going to be Concord versus fiser |
1412s | two incredibly hyped up rosters one |
1416s | bringing in pieces from Europe another |
1419s | bringing in pieces from North America of |
1422s | course with both of them all of them our |
1425s | incredibly High Lev players Concord of |
1427s | course having and featuring rlcs level |
1430s | players and seas and crispy and also |
1432s | bringing in Helix as well on the Fisher |
1434s | side you know these names if you are |
1436s | familiar with our scene Sosa Adam and |
1439s | one to Mike all from around the bubble |
1441s | scene and rlcs for years now and they'll |
1444s | be facing off what will be our lower |
1447s | semi-final Taco this is a run I think |
1450s | for both these teams Concord I don't |
1453s | think we were expecting in lowers |
1455s | considering it felt like they had |
1457s | maryville's number but now they are here |
1459s | well that's the thing is that everyone |
1461s | seems like we have these predictions |
1462s | that come in but the greatest thing |
1463s | about CR is how chaotic it tends to be a |
1465s | lot of these teams really go all over |
1467s | the place in terms of we're going to |
1469s | predict them to win Concord probably has |
1471s | the Victory and then mville is playing |
1473s | well like mville is they do even better |
1475s | against a harder opponent in Northwood |
1477s | the next round so clearly they're on a |
1478s | streak but I don't think that counts out |
1479s | Concord same with Northwood I think both |
1481s | these higher seeds are first and second |
1482s | seeds across this entire open are now in |
1485s | lowers which is such a surreal thing to |
1486s | even think about but uh to say that they |
1489s | to be counted out that they're having an |
1490s | off day is different I think everyone is |
1492s | just playing at Peak potential right now |
1494s | and then at this point it's really just |
1495s | who has better 50s who has better |
1497s | challenges who has the better strategy |
1499s | to implement yeah pretty much now nant |
1501s | when I'm looking at fer as well I mean |
1503s | this is a team that has always been near |
1506s | the top when it comes to Fisher or when |
1507s | it comes to crl since they started but |
1510s | has never quite reached that absolute |
1513s | Pinnacle whether it's at crl Worlds |
1514s | whether it's National Championships but |
1517s | now that they have a new roster they've |
1518s | taken pieces from the former mville |
1520s | roster in Adam and they brought in one |
1522s | to Mike who did play in Old Miss it |
1524s | seems like they really are going for it |
1527s | this time around yeah that's definitely |
1529s | the story when it comes to fish are a |
1531s | fantastic program top to bottom that has |
1533s | been pretty much shive winning the big |
1535s | one so what do you do you get Talent |
1537s | from other programs who are doing well |
1539s | and also you try to see if the chemistry |
1541s | play works for them as well Adam and one |
1544s | de Mike have shown some promise some |
1545s | Fashions of Brilliance but really the TR |
1547s | test for them starts today and now |
1549s | chicksa they are both coming here uh I |
1552s | will say that fisher obviously has a lot |
1554s | of European demons to have to deal with |
1556s | especially since Sosa is that last |
1558s | foring |
1559s | roster but now they are here they've |
1561s | gone through three or four consecutive |
1562s | best of fives now all the way from the |
1564s | Open qualifier to here how are we |
1568s | feeling about fiser is this the team |
1571s | that really is going to be able to take |
1572s | it where Concord going to be able to |
1574s | finally prove that they are that proper |
1576s | second seed they are the |
1578s | hype I mean you got to say fisher Navy |
1581s | has been making a heck of a lower |
1584s | bracket run we have mentioned in the |
1586s | past Adam being on mville Adam being |
1589s | also on northw Northwood white a while |
1591s | ago so they understand the crl scene |
1594s | very well one to mic the same thing has |
1596s | a history in rlcs did play in colleg at |
1599s | Sosa returning since 2022 on this roster |
1601s | so they have a lot of Collegian |
1603s | experience can they bring it to the |
1605s | table but concord's the New Kids on the |
1607s | Block they're the hot commodity and may |
1609s | I say they played better against mville |
1611s | than Northwood blue just did so it's |
1614s | kind of hard to figure out who's really |
1616s | going to come out on top when Concord |
1618s | has has been just consistently also |
1621s | playing really well with these EU |
1624s | players on that side I mean I got to say |
1625s | it's pretty impressive to see just how |
1628s | complex these teams have gotten Taco I |
1631s | do want to want to bring to attention I |
1633s | mean Sosa is a player that like you and |
1635s | I have looked at a long time and he |
1636s | really kind of does take that Mentor |
1639s | figure at least when it comes to his |
1640s | rlcs teams he really tries his hardest |
1643s | to bring on young players to be able to |
1645s | help develop them into these flourishing |
1648s | rosters we feel like this is the same |
1649s | kind of thing he's trying to do with the |
1652s | fer Squad here now that all of his old |
1654s | teammates are gone money and kin are out |
1655s | he's brought in fresh Talent from all |
1657s | over crl I think at the end of the day |
1660s | he's trying to not necessarily do what I |
1662s | think a lot of people assume crl rosters |
1664s | do let's just collect the best players |
1666s | and just throw them on a roster and you |
1667s | have Adam who is brently at the top of |
1670s | crl in some way or another you have one |
1672s | Mike who was on an old Miss inaugural |
1674s | Squad that looked promising and didn't |
1676s | really live up to things and admittedly |
1678s | my self and other analyst kind of looked |
1679s | at that and said H Wonder was not really |
1681s | fitting in there is he really cut out to |
1683s | play at this top level here we know how |
1685s | good he is but it might just be a |
1687s | chemistry thing it might just really |
1689s | come down to getting along with other |
1690s | people and then later on when we're |
1692s | talking about fer there's Fisher Navy |
1693s | and fer white Fisher Navy actually |
1695s | knocked out fer white from qus earlier |
1697s | on before getting into Sunday they have |
1700s | a team player Justice probably the best |
1702s | player on that Squad a lot of people are |
1703s | saying why is he not here it's because |
1705s | they said they Sosa chose Adam and chose |
1707s | one to m because of the chemistry and |
1709s | with this deep of a run I feel like he |
1711s | made the right decision they're choosing |
1713s | players based on how well they can all |
1715s | click together maybe not just entirely |
1717s | off of potential Peak yeah a lot of |
1719s | people that was us that was us we're |
1721s | like why why is justce on the pain Squad |
1723s | and we're like okay well you know what |
1725s | proved us wrong so Nas I've I've talked |
1728s | about this before where it it I coined |
1731s | it the the European Exodus because while |
1735s | you know a lot of European players have |
1737s | come over like if we're looking at that |
1739s | top eight of teams right now we have a |
1742s | significant percentage that is European |
1745s | players and Concord is kind of the |
1747s | spearhead of that and bringing the two |
1749s | most high level European players that we |
1752s | have here currently in crl in seos and |
1754s | chrisy over here rlcs level players and |
1757s | going to be able to actually comp |
1759s | compete able to carry on that European |
1762s | Legacy in North American siero yeah |
1764s | absolutely I know there's a kind of a |
1766s | knee-jerk reaction to be like oh man the |
1768s | the Europeans are coming and getting in |
1770s | my squads or whatever but you think |
1772s | about any Top Flight league in any sport |
1775s | IRL or otherwise when people are willing |
1777s | to make that change to go into your |
1778s | system that knows that you are in the |
1781s | best position possible North America has |
1783s | shown their dominance before once you |
1785s | have the talent the skill set that makes |
1787s | him play in our systems why not have the |
1790s | best players play for your squad in |
1791s | Concord it's just a little bit doing |
1793s | that right now but you know what I'm |
1794s | saying is is that when it comes down to |
1795s | it we not going to say oh the Europeans |
1797s | won we're going to say Concord one or |
1799s | any North American Squad that applies to |
1801s | now uh chcka Helix is kind of the |
1804s | unknown entity that we talked about |
1806s | previous uh previously where that he is |
1809s | very much alongside star studded Talent |
1813s | he is kind of the odd man out in this |
1815s | case despite that though I mean from |
1817s | what we've seen in Taco you can attest |
1819s | to this this is a player that has still |
1822s | been able to elevate himself to the |
1824s | level of those players and at times kind |
1827s | of be that mvp |
1830s | yeah I think it's wonderful to always |
1831s | find someone who maybe isn't necessarily |
1834s | on the Forefront uh leading the stats or |
1837s | or just being on the Forefront of P I |
1839s | believe he's the only one without a |
1840s | liquipedia page one of the only in the |
1842s | entire top eight tournament uh I mean |
1845s | it's it's a weird stat to stay but most |
1847s | of these players are just achievements |
1850s | out across so the fact that Helix is |
1852s | here he's playing with two wonderful |
1854s | players and he's consistently Bridging |
1856s | the Gap between them he is the longest |
1859s | player of course on this Concord roster |
1862s | and he's managed to show kind of the |
1864s | Concord spirit that they want to bring |
1866s | to the table and just how well he can |
1868s | adapt to new teammates and play now in |
1871s | the what what are we we're at the top |
1873s | four so I mean it's pretty impressive |
1877s | there's four teams there's four teams |
1879s | and he's he's in one of them the four |
1881s | best teams in the country and with that |
1884s | let's get to our predictions of course |
1887s | we are in the lower semis and the stakes |
1889s | only get higher from here so Taco please |
1892s | what is your prediction for our lower |
1894s | semi see the thing is I feel kind of bad |
1896s | I've been doing quala coverage I've been |
1898s | streaming Fisher Navy and I've seen them |
1900s | win on stream in their qual match in the |
1904s | first round in the second round and yet |
1907s | I'm going to choose Concord just despite |
1909s | the fact that I really believe in |
1911s | Fisher's ability Concord has been nigh |
1913s | Untouchable up until this singular |
1917s | series that they lost just beforehand um |
1919s | a little bit earlier on off Stream So |
1921s | This is a squad that definitely is built |
1923s | for success and ordinarily if I was |
1926s | Pitch these two rosters that say Helix I |
1927s | mean he's just not a pro level I don't |
1929s | know how I can fit in he fits like a |
1930s | glove in this Concord roster I think |
1932s | losing to mville is not really a |
1933s | shameful thing you've seen how well |
1935s | marville is playing I have them in this |
1937s | one and fer will try their darness to |
1939s | stay in as they always seem to do cha |
1942s | this is this is a |
1944s | heater I mean I'm I'm going to reference |
1947s | that marville game I don't know if |
1949s | anybody watched it on VOD stream three |
1951s | over times in order for mville to squeak |
1954s | past it could have been concord's game |
1957s | that's why I'm going with Concord here |
1959s | they look to be at the top of their game |
1960s | today they've contested marville the |
1962s | best who just swept Northwood blue I I |
1966s | feel like we haven't wrapped our heads |
1968s | around how this bracket is really |
1969s | shaking out these teams are here to play |
1972s | Concords here to play devont where do |
1974s | you see this chicks and taco are not |
1977s | wrong but I gotta be honest with you fer |
1980s | is on a run in that lower bracket we |
1982s | love one to Mike un I know I do I got |
1985s | fiser in four when it comes down to the |
1989s | how these teams match up I got Fisher |
1991s | Navy all the way you know you would |
1993s | think that in this case I would pick |
1995s | Soso because he is the Canadian but I'm |
1997s | using my brain I'm going with Concord |
2000s | this is a team that I had as second in |
2003s | the nation they have looked so good and |
2005s | even despite losing to a peaking Mari |
2008s | who so clearly is on top right now I |
2011s | still believe in the pedigree of this |
2013s | roster SAS is insane on the pitch and |
2016s | now they all have a Supporting Cast to |
2018s | be able to support themselves for this |
2020s | brand new roster it's going to be SAS |
2023s | along with Concord against Sosa and fer |
2027s | two high high level captains at the peak |
2031s | of Rocket League game play it's going to |
2034s | be North America versus Europe once |
2037s | again on the crl stage fiser versus |
2041s | Concord for our lower semifinals casters |
2045s | take it |
2046s | [Music] |
2048s | away oh my goodness Seb couldn't have |
2050s | brought it in any better and neither can |
2052s | I we're right here Fisher Navy Concord |
2056s | two very different rosters one with crl |
2061s | history whether it's not on the same |
2063s | team or not now they here are a team in |
2066s | fiser Navy and they're here to play |
2068s | their lower bracket run Concord on the |
2071s | other end of things New Kids on the |
2073s | Block have been winning and now although |
2076s | they dropped to marille they're here for |
2079s | that rematch they want to go back to it |
2081s | cool thing about starting in the upper |
2083s | is that you have the lowers to play you |
2084s | know just have an off game and then |
2086s | suddenly everything is all over we say |
2088s | different things about West Virginia |
2089s | unfortunately yet another tournament in |
2090s | which they start an uppers and then |
2092s | immediately lose two straight but we're |
2094s | not focused on the teams that don't get |
2096s | there we're focused on teams that are |
2097s | trying to go even further elix almost |
2100s | starts us off with a nice little low |
2101s | shot underneath the defense but |
2103s | apparently not going to be that easy oh |
2105s | that clear isn't where it needs to be |
2107s | backboard open Adam back to it can't get |
2109s | the shot off though and see as crispy |
2112s | able to extend this one into Midfield |
2115s | it's been Concord with the early |
2117s | pressure and fer haven't been able to |
2118s | get much past this side until now they |
2122s | drop it it feels like the feeler out |
2125s | that we're getting in the first minute |
2126s | or so who knows how many times these two |
2128s | have played but certainly the challenges |
2130s | have been coming through on both ends |
2132s | and big thing that you look for from fer |
2134s | is how creative they are I've got to |
2136s | know this team fairly well based on |
2137s | broadcasting them so frequently this |
2139s | weekend and the one thing they have to |
2140s | look for is sosa really is the player |
2143s | that they're trying to find but one Mike |
2145s | incredibly creative he will be able to |
2146s | find a way to out 50 any player he be |
2149s | able to tuck a pass into the weirdest of |
2151s | situations to find his teammates and |
2153s | that's really going to be the litus test |
2154s | I think for Concord how well they |
2156s | predict those passes they shut down |
2158s | those kind of strange kind of crafty |
2160s | angles that fisher really does favor and |
2162s | as long as they do that I trust in |
2164s | Concord to have the offense and the |
2165s | vision to find teammates kind of like |
2167s | that one how about a bump on the end of |
2168s | that pass and yet Fisher stays in front |
2171s | now with one Mike trying to take it all |
2172s | the way back faking him out though no |
2174s | boost none |
2175s | needed man I I was going to talk about |
2178s | one Mike being a little bit too close to |
2179s | his teammates but he has the opportunity |
2182s | to make the one-on-one play and seos |
2184s | expects a backboard double tap and |
2186s | wonder Mike just puts it in underneath |
2188s | him under that crossbar and manages to |
2191s | score first for fiser Navy it's a very |
2194s | hard earned goal to start off this |
2197s | series and you have to wonder what's in |
2200s | the thoughts of Concord right now |
2201s | they've had most of the pressure up |
2203s | field but one transition is all that |
2205s | matters to start it off yeah |
2207s | particularly when players are diving in |
2209s | like that Adam luckily was able to make |
2210s | up for one to m going a bit too |
2212s | aggressive on this one Speaking of Helix |
2214s | able to recover in time to prevent Adam |
2216s | from scoring a banger from that side |
2217s | corner |
2218s | now Concord has plenty of space to build |
2220s | he's going to leave it for Zas that's |
2222s | going to be a demo but he gets the save |
2224s | off fer heroically stepping in front of |
2226s | these shots forcing Concord to be able |
2228s | to take the path L traveled it seems |
2230s | like to the |
2232s | ball so off the corner not the initial |
2234s | challenge huge clear for Wonder Mike |
2237s | actually puts it on target 50s keep on |
2241s | coming Helix with some time but no boost |
2243s | notably Concord has seemly not had much |
2246s | boost to work with crispy double tap |
2249s | here can he sneak it in Seas can't get |
2251s | through either seems like they were |
2252s | grasping for straws there and even the |
2254s | extra effort from Helix still won't go |
2256s | on through yeah it's difficult thing to |
2258s | be able to get the angles correct you |
2260s | can be as close as you want but if you |
2261s | have one player on fiser that is jumping |
2263s | in the way you're going to have to go |
2264s | indirectly that's typically where demos |
2266s | come in or at the very least your boost |
2267s | control because if you keep the ball |
2269s | floating above the Midfield and floating |
2271s | above the goal you're going to force the |
2272s | other team to use a lot of boost the |
2273s | thing is is that Concord is going too |
2275s | direct they're shooting it off the |
2276s | backboard but they're rotating too fast |
2278s | they don't have an immediate follow so |
2279s | it relies on them getting perfect first |
2281s | and second touches not right there is a |
2284s | best example from SAS that one's not |
2286s | going to go on target but at the very |
2287s | least they're still in the half they're |
2288s | still on offense up until Adam lobs this |
2291s | one to slow things down maybe Helix an |
2293s | opportunity quickly challenged by Sosa |
2295s | demo could open up the board great |
2297s | passing play crispy can't put it on in |
2299s | and he's demoed for his efforts one Mike |
2302s | to come through with the last save and |
2305s | that offensive display gone just like |
2308s | that for Concord and yet they keep it |
2310s | going somewhat with these touches |
2312s | problem is fer has no real hesitancy be |
2315s | able to stack the Box put everybody in |
2318s | the way and so far it is working out |
2320s | because it is still 1 Z AL be at the |
2322s | shot differential really starting to |
2323s | rise already we have seen a solid 10 |
2326s | shots coming in from Concord and the way |
2328s | that they're playing I think that |
2329s | they're just getting kick started on |
2331s | this one trying to set some new PRS for |
2333s | the shots on target al beit with no res |
2336s | result yet |
2338s | crisp off the corner challenged quickly |
2341s | by Sosa but SAS in Midfield doesn't have |
2343s | a challenger just yet 50s with Adam and |
2346s | Adam in control off the corner another |
2349s | 50 to come on through Wonder Mike last |
2351s | back and still managing to get the |
2353s | touches out Sosa buying time great boost |
2356s | pad pick up flip reset towards the |
2358s | backboard and CS they're exactly where |
2360s | needed to start the transition for their |
2363s | office grabs Tris crispy and that one |
2366s | won't be on target either conquer how |
2369s | many times are they going to go around |
2370s | the box but yet not in it it really does |
2373s | feel like they're playing kind of like a |
2376s | track game right now they're just taking |
2377s | laps around one trying to get bumped out |
2379s | of the way but he will Dodge and get the |
2381s | initial save Sosa Adam combining for the |
2384s | clear what are we looking at chicka |
2387s | everything Concord is throwing at fer |
2388s | they have some form of an answer but |
2391s | maybe in the final 10 we can see the |
2393s | opportunity crispy into Helix it's just |
2397s | over the B |
2398s | Adam with a 50 down crispy trying to |
2400s | keep it up but he is headed in the wrong |
2403s | direction so so with a dunk one to Mike |
2406s | with a Chase and I just don't know if |
2408s | they can carry it all the |
2409s | way oh0 seconds on the clock this one to |
2412s | touch the ground Fisher navy able to |
2416s | pull off a defensive master class on |
2419s | that goal line should they have won that |
2422s | game uh probably not but they managed to |
2427s | uh |
2428s | despite all adversity and then Concord |
2432s | 14 shots of which zero go on in yeah |
2437s | let's also point out the scrappy nature |
2439s | of Fisher Navy generating nine saves to |
2442s | keep that goal line clear this is what I |
2444s | was talking about with Concord that |
2445s | might be a loss but I'm coming away with |
2447s | that still confident in their ability |
2448s | the issue is Fisher Navy playing their |
2450s | angles well I don't even mind the nine |
2452s | shots because most of the time as you |
2454s | see on the replay package they're in the |
2456s | way of these reads it's not a |
2457s | desperation last second pre- flip |
2459s | they're just playing their angle smart |
2461s | and having everybody able to cover each |
2462s | other superbly like that last one so to |
2465s | get in the first touch and Adam getting |
2466s | the clear I don't even know how you CM |
2468s | that yeah it it was really crazy |
2471s | defensive effort on fiser Navy's side |
2473s | and huge props to them they never gave |
2476s | up on that goal line even the play |
2478s | seemed like it was dead or already on |
2479s | and they kept on pushing and pushing and |
2481s | pushing forward but Concord as soon as |
2484s | that first goal goes on in I feel like |
2486s | it's going to be these dominoes that |
2487s | just fall and it's going to be |
2489s | unstoppable so they need to find that |
2492s | clickable moment to beat Fisher Navy on |
2495s | the defensive goal line they tried some |
2497s | bumps and demos that didn't work they |
2499s | tried the Boost starve method that |
2501s | didn't work maybe better accuracy who |
2503s | knows maybe they just will show us what |
2506s | they have up their sleeve and so we go |
2508s | to the prettiest map to potentially see |
2511s | a gorgeous representation of the highest |
2513s | level of Rocket League cuz last game |
2515s | felt Scrappy that's what I keep saying |
2516s | to Define Fisher because that's really |
2518s | how all their wins have been not just |
2520s | because they're in game five but because |
2522s | the nature of these victories they're |
2523s | clearly talented they're getting in the |
2525s | way they're getting a solid goals or |
2526s | building up well but it really does come |
2528s | down to just how well they're able to |
2530s | get away with these last second saves |
2531s | being able to avoid these demos and step |
2534s | in on plays like that Midfield pass was |
2536s | there and yet Adam still had an answer |
2538s | for it Helix doing his best in Midfield |
2542s | pops this one gets the followup not on |
2544s | target actually bounces off seemingly |
2547s | the |
2548s | part of that post and out doing their |
2551s | best to stay in Midfield is Concord but |
2554s | quickly the ball given away Sosa |
2556s | opportunity for a shot slots it |
2558s | underneath the defense and fiser Navy on |
2560s | the board first to Fisher credit they |
2562s | don't need a lot of looks to be able to |
2563s | get their goal Adam does well to take |
2565s | away pretty much every single type of |
2567s | clear that you want from Concord out of |
2569s | that corner and even better Sosa is |
2571s | turning in and shoots it low and |
2573s | slightly behind SAS knows that he has |
2574s | everything covered to his car's right so |
2577s | putting on his left side means that |
2578s | momentum is going to take him away easy |
2580s | goal and easy slot for the deao Fisher |
2583s | Captain uh Helix opportunity 50 won't |
2586s | come through Adam have much time but |
2590s | still able to get the beat now looking |
2592s | for someone in Midfield instead seos |
2594s | there instead pops it over two tries to |
2596s | find the bump on the other one Mike the |
2598s | save on the goal line does the defense |
2601s | ever sto for Fisher Navy well right now |
2605s | at least they are trying to test that |
2607s | theory of whether or not they can get |
2608s | out of Defense with these longer air |
2609s | dribbles which are crucial to buy time |
2611s | you don't want to always just be |
2613s | defending by clearing the ball down the |
2614s | line because eventually you're just |
2615s | going to be giving up possession you're |
2617s | getting boost just to use it when the |
2618s | ball comes right back Fisher I think |
2620s | understands that which is why they're |
2621s | starting to play for these 50s they're |
2622s | starting to play for these low angles |
2624s | and not trying to dive in too |
2626s | aggressively and when they do you got to |
2627s | go with full confidence kind of like |
2629s | that from Adam not only dunks through |
2630s | crispy but gets the extension forward |
2632s | yeah I appreciate the pre jumps and the |
2635s | effort from Fisher Navy in the Midfield |
2637s | that's where it all starts off crispy |
2639s | last second save on the goal line but |
2641s | it's been fiser Navy keeping the ball |
2643s | now in the offensive half because they |
2646s | keep contesting so early each and every |
2649s | challenge has worked out for them and |
2651s | now they've been able to get some |
2652s | extended offense because of it not much |
2655s | offense last game of course we saw from |
2657s | fiser Navy but certainly more so to |
2659s | start in this one already in Concord |
2662s | still looking for that secret sauce to |
2665s | score up field they just haven't been |
2667s | able to get through Fisher Navy just |
2670s | yet deflection technically On Target |
2672s | crispy should have that one but the |
2674s | bounce out from Soo looking for a double |
2675s | should be stopped by crispy that will be |
2678s | another one to follow up as Wonder Mike |
2679s | is there the Cross Field pass it's |
2682s | flawlessly done Fisher doubles the |
2685s | lead boost starved right now is Concor |
2689s | nobody on the field other than CS with |
2691s | that little bit of bubble as you saw out |
2694s | of him Concord doesn't know where to go |
2697s | they're being caught off in that |
2698s | Midfield Fisher stealing all the Boost |
2701s | from their side as well it's consistent |
2703s | pressure consistent rotations Fisher |
2707s | really playing a near perfect game |
2711s | throughout all of this they've managed |
2713s | to find every way to stop Concord |
2716s | offensively and defensively and now with |
2719s | just over 2 minutes remaining a very |
2721s | comfortable two goal lead and Concord |
2723s | yet to score now nearing 8 minutes of |
2727s | game play I think if you want a |
2729s | psychological insight you're starting to |
2730s | see SM and crispy double committing for |
2732s | some of these reads at first in game one |
2734s | it kind of looked like they were just |
2735s | doing calculated fakes and I could buy |
2737s | that but a couple times now it's been a |
2738s | lob off the sidewall where it almost |
2740s | feels like one of them just says I got |
2742s | it the other one lately says I got it |
2743s | and then they kind of just stare at each |
2744s | other but I need them to be a bit more |
2746s | coordinated either one goes for a bump |
2748s | or one goes for the cealing hit into the |
2749s | next one kind of like that and then |
2751s | maybe get a goal Adam in no man's land |
2753s | that is the |
2754s | consequence yeah a little bit too far |
2756s | pushed out when Mike not getting the |
2758s | greatest Challenge and that opens up the |
2761s | field for seamass to get the shot just |
2763s | past Adam well worked job for Concord |
2767s | they're able to just keep up the |
2769s | pressure in front of the goal line to |
2772s | find the last Finishing Touch but can |
2774s | they do it again or is one might going |
2775s | to strike this one deflected away popped |
2779s | back up not much boost again on the side |
2781s | of Concord they'll do their best though |
2783s | still threatening with their presence up |
2785s | field crispy was sitting on that mid 100 |
2788s | boost finally it spawns for him but |
2790s | certainly searching for this boost game |
2793s | is Concord yeah but I like that from |
2794s | Concord as you mentioned earlier on they |
2796s | were very lacking for resources so being |
2798s | able to get anything in the tank be able |
2800s | to make Aerials like that is all too |
2803s | important sometimes that also results in |
2805s | slowing down waiting for that stuff to |
2806s | spawn be able to get your pads and then |
2808s | build from there because now they have |
2810s | their first goal they have some |
2811s | confidence back but of course not going |
2813s | to be so easy to break on down I think |
2814s | game one defense proved that one and |
2816s | also Adam jumps are continuing to |
2819s | provide evidence Helix is not going to |
2820s | be stopped too far but one Mike is able |
2822s | to circumvent that first Challenge and |
2824s | dribble past all |
2825s | three a great challenge Sosa towards the |
2828s | back wall crispy only deflecting seos |
2831s | Adam oneon-one Adam winning this 50 and |
2834s | so one Mike on the ceiling had the read |
2837s | Helix a last second save but the offense |
2840s | continues for Fisher finally a pop Adam |
2843s | their first yet again he has been in |
2845s | that High aerial range and every time in |
2848s | the Midfield to stop Concord pressure |
2851s | you mentioned pre jumps it's real |
2853s | they're able to stop this Concord |
2855s | offense and they need to hold on for |
2857s | another 10 seconds not going to be too |
2859s | easy too because one of Mike just gave |
2861s | it away crispy has a limited boost I |
2862s | don't think Adam knows that he plays |
2864s | every angle high and he will get most of |
2866s | it one to Mike trying to dribble this |
2867s | one straight down there's nobody in the |
2869s | zip code Fisher Navy has a free Spike |
2872s | down and they will take yet another |
2875s | close margin Victory setting themselves |
2877s | up for a |
2878s | sweep it's crazy Fisher Navy's been |
2881s | winning in game five now all of a sudden |
2884s | knocking on the door of match point this |
2887s | time shots even saves one more for |
2892s | Fisher Navy and of course one extra goal |
2895s | on that end of the field it's a well |
2897s | played game for Fisher Navy again almost |
2899s | fault free seemingly we we can't seem to |
2903s | Pi pick apart Fisher just because |
2905s | they've consistently been there done |
2907s | that they're everywhere on the field and |
2910s | they're able to still provide the |
2911s | offense with it yeah but also looking at |
2913s | the replays looking at the goals that |
2914s | fer was able to generate it's mainly off |
2916s | of those infield passes it's finding |
2918s | that pocket of space and a lot of them |
2920s | are pretty difficult some of it is just |
2921s | poaching up on the sidewall saying hey |
2922s | I'm just going to throw this middle |
2923s | hopefully one of you is there CU I know |
2925s | there's at least a decent amount of |
2926s | space but the second one from one de |
2927s | Mike he could shoot that off the corner |
2929s | he could be able to just tap that one |
2931s | high up the backboard but instead he |
2932s | leans back doesn't flip into it just |
2934s | lets it glide into the Midfield which |
2936s | could be pretty risky considering you |
2938s | know Sosa is all the way on the far side |
2940s | of the field if that gets intercepted |
2942s | that might as well just be a free |
2943s | Breakaway but again it's the |
2944s | coordination it's the chemistry that |
2946s | they invested in that's getting them to |
2948s | this point and it has to be refreshing |
2949s | for Fisher Navy to not have to deal with |
2952s | going to game five potentially but we |
2954s | still have plenty of games to go and |
2955s | Concord like any highly competitive team |
2958s | have to take it one game at a time |
2959s | seeing if they have to engineer a |
2960s | reverse sweep to stay |
2963s | alive CH Navy looking versatile as ever |
2967s | we'll see if they're able to score first |
2970s | yet again they've managed to do so in |
2972s | each game so far Helix giving that one |
2976s | away Sosa managing to find the save this |
2979s | one popped out Sosa backflip slight |
2982s | danger Helix there first does find it |
2985s | and First Blood does go to Concord I |
2988s | like us from Helix just making sure it |
2990s | is on target as hard as he possibly can |
2992s | generate as you can see leans into it in |
2994s | the last bit that gives it a bit more |
2996s | acceleration on the shot for Adam going |
2998s | for the in and out potentially trying to |
2999s | avoid all those bodies flying in front |
3001s | of him and honestly to his credit |
3003s | probably could have had that save angled |
3004s | it differently but either way Concord |
3006s | that's a huge relief now it's an |
3008s | entirely different Dynamic to be able to |
3010s | just defend your lead play consistent |
3012s | through the Midfield rather than trying |
3013s | to have a come from behind Dynamic SAS |
3016s | almost surprised in the jump scare there |
3018s | follow up from the pass from Adam going |
3020s | to be red well by crispy one my clearing |
3023s | up field actually gets his own pass |
3025s | double tap read on Target crispy the |
3028s | save out of followup slots it underneath |
3030s | the bar and there's the answer from |
3032s | Fisher Navy early oh Wonder that's the |
3034s | most gorgeous assist you can ask for it |
3036s | even took it a flection on the save what |
3038s | a double I don't blame crispy for only |
3040s | sending it high that was an instant |
3041s | reaction but that is what good offenses |
3043s | do it's not about getting the best |
3045s | angles or getting passes on a platter |
3047s | sometimes it's just about getting the |
3048s | ball as fast as possible and miss or not |
3050s | it forces the defense to react and that |
3052s | one they were flat |
3054s | footed fix off the back and transitions |
3058s | just has so SOS this one popping forward |
3061s | and crispy starting to take his time |
3064s | back does jump at the last effort and |
3067s | the 50 goes in favor of Fisher Navy at |
3071s | least temporarily till more 50s come on |
3074s | through and seas a fake dare I say but |
3078s | this one could be dangerous crispy |
3080s | saving in at the last second Adam |
3082s | couldn't find The Bump to follow crispy |
3084s | well found to smas I would say pass to |
3086s | Kix but called No boost and he still has |
3088s | nothing cuz there's nothing on the side |
3089s | wall one to try to pick out that back |
3091s | post and my goodness chick that was |
3093s | pixels away that is the margin we're |
3095s | dealing with in this matchup it has been |
3098s | the margin consistently since the first |
3100s | shot some jumps some mistakes and again |
3104s | the timing for every single challenge |
3106s | has been prej jump they have to read the |
3109s | minds of every player on the field in |
3111s | order to be there in time the pops Adam |
3115s | gets the second touch over and across |
3118s | nobody there follow up except for one to |
3120s | Mike here as it seeks out towards him |
3123s | backboard follow up not found Sosa |
3126s | jumping Adam last back decides to go for |
3128s | it can Helix get a runaway opportunity |
3131s | down to crispy and still again blocked |
3134s | by the fer defense smas flicks that one |
3136s | on the back side and honestly that's |
3138s | just a lack of possession he has no |
3140s | boost and all Fisher is there I don't |
3142s | really understand that decision that's |
3143s | where I'm getting worried about Concord |
3144s | not necessarily and they're still tied |
3146s | and they're going to fall behind soon |
3147s | but I need more |
3149s | cooperation and I ask and they provide |
3152s | Helix from the backboard what a |
3154s | dish that couldn't be a better almost |
3158s | cherry pick situation the angle so |
3161s | difficult it's something you rehearse |
3163s | and almost never get to execute in games |
3166s | but Helix does so flawlessly Concord on |
3170s | top for the first time today other than |
3174s | of course their first goal earlier |
3177s | they have not managed to come through |
3180s | most of the game being ahead now seamoth |
3183s | gets the beat here Adam still there |
3185s | nobody back except for crispy on the |
3189s | turn has second opportunity this one |
3192s | popped back out refresh for both teams |
3195s | just over 2 minutes again and a one |
3198s | score game I like that little Scoop from |
3200s | smos is definitely one of those things |
3202s | that you look out for he's a fantastic |
3204s | on the air dribbles very good at being |
3206s | able to get the last touch that you'd |
3207s | expect and also what Helix is aspiring |
3209s | to do cuz he's going to front of it to |
3210s | get a bump Zas will double that one |
3213s | across not necessarily straight across |
3215s | it does have a little bit of a backward |
3216s | Bend to it which means the passes aren't |
3219s | exactly where Concord want to be but I |
3221s | think they're slowly building up to the |
3222s | play style they're much more comfortable |
3224s | with finding space in the Midfield |
3225s | breaking down the defense bit by bit and |
3228s | not necessarily fer falling for anything |
3230s | but you know at a certain point they're |
3231s | going to have to take a bigger risk |
3233s | still being down by one |
3237s | know what risk there is to have I don't |
3239s | know if Fisher comfortable playing the |
3241s | safe game knowing that they have two in |
3243s | pocket but gron also what's the harm and |
3246s | trying just a little bit more knowing |
3248s | that you have those two game buffers |
3251s | right now Soo with the demo one m I |
3253s | don't know if that's the touch he wanted |
3255s | off the corner Adam the followup can |
3257s | only keep it in that Midfield and seos |
3259s | able to find the beat but here |
3263s | opportunity potentially for Concord can |
3266s | low on Boost crispy using all of it to |
3268s | attempt to find that touch Wonder Mike |
3270s | back wall that's the perfect bounce can |
3272s | Adam get it in no one said heix spins |
3275s | the save has the control needs to be |
3277s | Wonder Mike but doesn't have the boost |
3279s | again can he get it through he can how |
3282s | does he manage a nothing let's keep this |
3286s | in mind not something you see often zero |
3288s | boost crosscourt assist from Helix gets |
3291s | the catch on the goal line flicks past |
3293s | one beats a second 50s a third and get |
3296s | get that one across with nothing in your |
3299s | tank so the next time your rank |
3300s | teammates are just selling it all to go |
3302s | to the Boost just show them that clip |
3303s | it's showing you really don't need it |
3305s | for Effective |
3306s | offense that's the buffer that Concord |
3309s | needed they now have that extra goal |
3312s | with 30 seconds remaining Helix even |
3314s | putting another one on target confidence |
3317s | flowing on the Concord side can Fisher |
3320s | Navy have an answer in the remaining 20 |
3323s | seconds or so potentially one more or |
3326s | try if they can get it out of their own |
3328s | half but the clears have been across |
3331s | court for Concord they're holding that |
3334s | possession they're trying to score one |
3336s | more and Helix I'll give it to him the |
3339s | hatrick Helix coming out on top for |
3342s | conquer and showing definitely the |
3345s | diversity between offensive pressure and |
3348s | assists that was purely comedic forix |
3352s | just straight dive bom I almost heard |
3354s | the whistle like falling animation sound |
3357s | I don't know how that works out but that |
3359s | is just rubbing salt in the wound and my |
3361s | goodness what a large wound it has |
3364s | opened up into when you need a play to |
3366s | stay alive how about four of them |
3368s | Concord dominantly staying in this |
3371s | one Helix who uh that Helix on Concord a |
3376s | incredible job by Helix we saw the |
3379s | determination earlier on the Zero boost |
3381s | play to find the assist three goals this |
3385s | game that one we just saw as well he was |
3387s | on fire |
3390s | positionally perfectly placed throughout |
3392s | the entire game great job by Helix to |
3395s | come out on top for Concord and give |
3398s | them the adjustments they needed to win |
3400s | this |
3401s | game I think uh plays like this are also |
3404s | very nice in that you see really |
3407s | wholeheartedly everyone buying into |
3408s | saying okay game number one and two we |
3411s | are not playing the gamepl we won game |
3412s | one we got the shots off but it was a |
3414s | little bit more chaotic we were getting |
3416s | getting a lot of shots that were just |
3417s | kind of near goal we were kind of |
3418s | getting ricocheted more 50s more than |
3420s | anything else game two felt like they |
3422s | were just trapped in their half they had |
3423s | nothing so they say okay let's go back |
3424s | to basics let's focus on possession look |
3426s | at how often they are just directly next |
3428s | to the ball forcing fer into these 50s |
3430s | even on low boost they're getting |
3432s | awkward flicks that do nothing other |
3433s | than just Fisher Navy almost rolling |
3435s | their eyes and saying okay well he flick |
3437s | it over me I'm going to have to go |
3438s | rotate around and get that one again and |
3440s | I think the slower play style really |
3442s | does favor Concord I think it's up to |
3443s | fer to find the way to make them |
3445s | uncomfortable again much like they did |
3447s | earlier on and if they can't I'm a |
3449s | little worried that we might be living |
3450s | up to the fer game five uh streak that |
3452s | they have kept alive in the lower |
3454s | bracket I'm not going to worry about it |
3456s | too much I I will say novon did sa |
3458s | Fisher in four so he gave them the one |
3461s | game to stumble maybe that's just big |
3464s | brain Novant the only one to pick bisher |
3467s | Navy in this series but I do think |
3469s | Concord as you said does do better with |
3472s | the slow play game and I mentioned how |
3475s | many times they've been low on Boost now |
3477s | kind of using that in a sense to their |
3479s | advantage they've been playing confident |
3481s | even without it and making plays just as |
3484s | you should zero boost doesn't mean that |
3487s | you're useless in rocket league as much |
3489s | as it may seem at times so Concor doing |
3492s | the most of what they've got Fisher Navy |
3495s | now looking to end this series they're |
3496s | going to be on Match Point again can |
3498s | they finish it out or will they have |
3501s | issues on the defensive front the team |
3503s | bump into the finish for crispy and see |
3507s | us I almost put my hands on my face just |
3510s | to not even watch that one I think it |
3512s | was a 50 attempt and then they realized |
3514s | it was wide open as fer collided with |
3516s | each other at the very least had |
3518s | Crosswire cross tires whatever you guess |
3521s | it could be and of all the ways to give |
3523s | up a goal that is not the way you want |
3525s | to be able to start off a game in which |
3527s | we again are saying they're on match |
3528s | point they were driving this one and now |
3530s | it seems like just an awkward way to |
3532s | give one up there's no room for freebies |
3534s | in this esport Jump by some and what a |
3537s | read to deive them of an answer back a |
3540s | 50 to boot upfield goes to grab some |
3543s | boost does steal the back of Fisher Navy |
3546s | crispy beating one here can he sneak it |
3549s | underneath seos demoed for his efforts |
3552s | Helix still trying to get something gets |
3554s | the flip but can't sneak it underneath |
3556s | that bar crispy going for a couple demos |
3559s | seos faking crispy underneath but Adam |
3563s | manages to find the save he can't save |
3565s | it again the pressure unrelenting for |
3569s | Concord pay attention to the fake |
3571s | challenges coming in from the side of |
3573s | Concord how often they go directly up |
3576s | and go for a bump and if it's not there |
3577s | they challenge away oh the ball's right |
3579s | in front well I know you're not going to |
3580s | get a huge clear I'm going to turn and |
3581s | leave it for the next player that is the |
3583s | pace control I'm talking about from |
3584s | Concord and why they love playing a |
3585s | little bit slower of course that is not |
3587s | Adam's game he's going to answer back in |
3589s | a rapid way right off kickoff wow that |
3593s | was not what I was expecting to sa the |
3596s | least and it's got to be a hard hit for |
3598s | Concord all that work just to get scored |
3601s | on right off the rip on a kickoff let's |
3603s | not do it again they need to hold on |
3607s | this one going a little bit more neutral |
3609s | to start got Adam with the 50 gets it |
3613s | towards the backboard Sosa has boost to |
3615s | work with seos the only boost on the |
3617s | back post manages to pop it up still off |
3620s | the back board does trickle it out to |
3622s | crispy who just has Adam but Adam has |
3624s | been winning these 50s all day fakes it |
3627s | the shot on target Helix last second |
3630s | save Wonder Mike off the ceiling not |
3631s | much boost backboard here save towards |
3634s | the corner and everyone getting so so |
3639s | interesting with it everything is not to |
3642s | be as expected fakes flip resets they're |
3646s | bringing the entire playbook out to play |
3648s | today well you really need the entire |
3650s | Playbook because eventually everyone |
3652s | just locks down the basics at this level |
3654s | and honly it's a huge reason why demo |
3655s | play has become popular because I think |
3657s | defense is just too good players are too |
3659s | mechanical the recoveries are solid even |
3661s | with zero boost you don't need much if |
3663s | you have 12 boost you can stand still |
3664s | and hit the crossbar in goal so really |
3667s | just come down to how you build things |
3668s | up how you use your opponent's Force |
3670s | against you that's why I was talking |
3671s | about all these things or you can just |
3673s | pull out the scope and snipe one from a |
3675s | distance what is the placement on this |
3677s | that is a absolute banana shot by SE and |
3681s | actually bounces off the ceiling and |
3684s | then the protractor comes out to hit top |
3687s | left corner not an easy shot to say the |
3691s | least but Concord now gets that little |
3693s | bit extra of a boost again the buffer |
3697s | seems to work out in their favor I did |
3699s | mention as soon as they start scoring it |
3701s | seemed like this domino effect and |
3703s | they've certainly had the extra touches |
3705s | one-on-one seos and adom here get SOS |
3707s | get the 50 Adam Stands Tall a net he's |
3709s | been doing just that pulling off as much |
3713s | as possible with the only goal for |
3714s | Fisher Navy this game and save your |
3716s | medal three saves right now ad I'm doing |
3719s | his best to keep Fisher Navy in this |
3722s | game one to Mike the shot off the post |
3725s | and out it's the Finish there by Adam it |
3728s | is and I have to say look at Sosa go to |
3732s | work here tries to threaten that demo |
3734s | attempt on crispy after beating two |
3736s | players on the dribble fing it through |
3739s | both of them it's plays like that |
3740s | they're going to make the difference and |
3742s | it's a way something Concord has been |
3743s | doing nice to see Sosa staying locked in |
3746s | just playing like he's in the pocket not |
3748s | panicking on any tou and just choing the |
3750s | correct decision in the right |
3753s | moment fix look going to send this one |
3756s | in the Midfield or mid goal Sosa and |
3760s | Adam both jumping Adam has an |
3763s | opportunity to potentially touch this |
3765s | once more crispy can only send it in |
3767s | front of net and W Mike finds the Finish |
3769s | Fisher Navy two unanswered goals and now |
3772s | a tied game with Concord really well |
3776s | Well Done by Adam crispy doesn't want to |
3777s | go too low because if he does he's going |
3779s | to get Sat On by Adam which means the |
3781s | ball is going to trickle down the |
3782s | problem is if you are above the ball on |
3784s | the backboard it's going to spike |
3785s | straight down that's exactly why fer |
3787s | immediately bit on this one because they |
3788s | knew it was not going to be a good clear |
3790s | for them and one to Mike now needs to |
3792s | turn his sights to defense because that |
3794s | very nearly went on through but now with |
3796s | a bump in the back field Adam is left |
3798s | alone and still gets in the way Adam |
3801s | can't be stopped I I just Adam can't be |
3805s | stopped Adam Adam can be stopped on the |
3808s | goal line CS finds the finish here a |
3812s | hattick now for him is the scoring ever |
3816s | going to stop well at the end of the day |
3819s | players know that there's two very |
3820s | different things fer is dreading going |
3822s | to another game five despite their |
3824s | record in Concord they're trying to claw |
3826s | their way back into this series and they |
3828s | are shooting like it 10 shots in total |
3831s | and almost twice what their opponents |
3833s | have been able to generate that's |
3834s | exactly why they're in the lead at a |
3836s | certain point you can only give them so |
3837s | many chances before at least a decent |
3839s | handful going to be able to find the |
3841s | back of the net final minute now it's |
3843s | fer going to try to reach forward and |
3845s | this is where we in that precarious |
3846s | situation how far do you want to be able |
3848s | to dive in and risk it all versus just |
3851s | trying to give up an easy one and |
3852s | guaranteeing that this game is over Adam |
3855s | sending over that Midfield pass that you |
3857s | mentioned but SOS reads it well to get |
3860s | the save even gets a clear out Concord H |
3864s | just doing their best as they can with |
3865s | these challenges and these clears to buy |
3868s | time burn the remaining clock time that |
3871s | seems to be hanging over them Helix |
3873s | though has been that hero another |
3876s | hattick game for him gets over that last |
3879s | Defender and is able to pinch it on |
3881s | through but I love how well he plays |
3884s | this note how he cuts that and he could |
3886s | accelerate as fast as possible send that |
3888s | to the ceiling that's probably going to |
3889s | be deflected play for the 50 he gets a |
3891s | touch no 50 all right just stay behind |
3893s | it you don't want to give away the play |
3894s | and the whole time fer B on that give |
3897s | TCH which never comes which is why it |
3899s | looks like such a basic low angle |
3901s | dribble but it's well done by Helix to |
3903s | maintain possession and not give fer |
3904s | anything for |
3906s | free crispy trying to sneak one more |
3909s | Adam will add yet another save to his |
3911s | Sav less but saves won't save Fisher |
3915s | Navy now almost an onle they're in |
3918s | shambles this series is in shambles cuz |
3922s | you know what Fisher Navy is going to |
3925s | another game |
3927s | five well they don't often talk about I |
3930s | would say the physical attributes you |
3931s | need when it comes to Esports but I feel |
3934s | like this is watching a marathon |
3936s | watching fer for all the fer fans these |
3938s | players hopefully are eating a lot of |
3940s | carb heavy meals being a to have some |
3942s | energy stores to tap into or maybe some |
3944s | protein just to be able to make sure |
3945s | they don't get hungry because they've |
3947s | been using up all of their momentum in |
3950s | all these Series in the beginning then |
3952s | they Tucker out and then they have to |
3953s | adjust and despite the fact that they |
3955s | have have not lost yet in these game |
3958s | five scenarios the fact that you're now |
3960s | doing it against the second seed in all |
3962s | of crl has to be hitting you different I |
3965s | was going to say uh game five against |
3967s | Concord is a little bit of a different |
3970s | Beast I I mean huge credit though they |
3973s | beat WVU and akan blue so it it seems |
3978s | like they're just going giant after |
3980s | Giant in this tournament and reverse |
3983s | sweep is what concord's currently |
3985s | knocking on the door of and that also |
3987s | seems just as difficult it's so hard to |
3990s | win three games in a row in a row and a |
3994s | best of five the consistency will it be |
3997s | there for Concord is what I'm |
3999s | questioning CU sometimes they just seem |
4001s | to be a little bit short and game five |
4005s | is going to show us really who's here |
4007s | and who's ready to play on crl Sunday |
4012s | and this is what tournament days are all |
4013s | about it does not matter what came |
4015s | before it doesn't matter if you've lost |
4016s | some series if you just win one series |
4018s | at a time obviously you're going to be |
4020s | doing great but for both of these teams |
4022s | they came into this bracket expecting to |
4024s | make a grand final they expected maybe |
4026s | even to win it that's the confidence you |
4028s | need and we'll see just how stable that |
4031s | belief is when they get into Champions |
4033s | field and really get into the thick of |
4035s | these rotations cuz fer they're hanging |
4037s | on for dear life and they might have |
4038s | been given a life preserver there but no |
4042s | it's going to be denied on the goal line |
4043s | so no easy ones early on oh everyone for |
4046s | Concord grouped together on that play |
4049s | healings not much boost this one the |
4052s | demo Wonder Mike the Finish Fisher |
4055s | finally get that goal that they work so |
4057s | hard to start start off four really well |
4060s | done by Wonder Mike be able to take that |
4062s | 50 but he doesn't go low he actually |
4063s | goes above it because it deflects down |
4065s | and then deflects into him again and he |
4067s | does get a little bit fort on the bounce |
4068s | but to be able to stay with that is |
4070s | harder than you realize you have to make |
4072s | sure that's on Target and also being |
4073s | able to beat out anyone challenging in |
4075s | your way so one Mike making the play as |
4078s | he has done a lot of these game fives |
4080s | have come down to individual efforts |
4082s | from him to be able to make something |
4083s | happen Sosa clears this one out helixs |
4087s | to collect one Mike will be their first |
4090s | 50s in favor Sosa on the rotation out |
4093s | there but Seas gets the read on him not |
4096s | much boost on the followup Adam back |
4098s | board crispy keeping it close dangerous |
4101s | position able to get over one to Mike |
4103s | potentially leaving it for Seas pop over |
4106s | s in the way and the rotations for both |
4109s | teams well done in order to get some |
4112s | offensive pressure and prep for these |
4115s | defensive touches on the backboard |
4117s | often these are all pro level players |
4120s | and you're seeing SAS outspeed almost |
4122s | all of them it's a couple times now I've |
4124s | seen him actually go late to an aerial |
4125s | and still be able to get to it first one |
4127s | to Mike fortunately much closer on that |
4129s | iteration and now SAS has a different |
4131s | task to go I thought he might be able to |
4133s | try to flick that one forward but now'll |
4135s | be out fer on this one one Mike instant |
4137s | turn crispy somehow pulls a rabbit out |
4140s | of a hat how that isn't a goal I'll |
4142s | never know we've seen so many heroic |
4145s | goal line plays at this point of the |
4147s | game and it's what we said matters |
4150s | pixels often will make or break this |
4154s | game now just over 3 minutes still |
4157s | Fisher Navy the one goal lead Concord |
4160s | trying to get out of their half here |
4162s | hasn't done so just yet the 50s often |
4165s | going in F |
4166s | of Fisher this one dangerous seos with |
4169s | the Boost with control only temporarily |
4172s | Helix back over to seos does he have the |
4174s | speed this one's on but the shot won't |
4176s | be on |
4178s | targetas wanted that pass a little bit |
4180s | further forward so he could hit that one |
4182s | onto the near post but he wasn't able to |
4184s | get it poor Helix it was coming back at |
4186s | has phase too fast he wouldn't be able |
4188s | to actually put that one in and he knew |
4190s | it he tried to take it off you can see |
4191s | that back flip and that one is going to |
4193s | go out the window but it doesn't mean |
4194s | they're done pass middle and a demo |
4195s | attempt not going to connect either on |
4198s | the shot or the physical play Sosa |
4200s | trying to do something on his own play |
4202s | but again everyone just a little bit off |
4205s | and that's really what's going to decide |
4206s | games like this another Miss on the goal |
4208s | line crispy so close to it but man I |
4211s | have to give it to him that read so |
4213s | difficult missing this pass though yes |
4215s | it was Speedy but he was there to make |
4217s | the play now Sosa back in the air Adam |
4220s | waiting the drop the 50 there one to |
4223s | Mike sends it just over Helix but see M |
4226s | back the reset on the own backboard SOA |
4229s | already up goes over helixs over another |
4232s | Wonder Mike the last one back manages to |
4235s | buy enough time for rotations and that's |
4238s | all ADV managing managing the Boost |
4241s | managing the defensive touches managing |
4244s | time who can manage the lead in the |
4248s | remaining minute and a half does Concord |
4251s | have an answer to Fisher |
4253s | Navy Adam certainly has all the answers |
4255s | him the Wonder Mike putting on a clinic |
4257s | in the Midfield defense they're cutting |
4258s | out everything even when they can't even |
4260s | get on top of the ball couple times |
4261s | Concord has been landing and they just |
4263s | land underneath them and then be able to |
4266s | actually slow them down give them a flat |
4267s | tire and that's why a lot of these |
4269s | clears from Concord are them just trying |
4271s | to get deflections getting pinches off |
4272s | the walls cuz they have nothing to do |
4274s | with the ball right now they're trying |
4276s | to especially by keeping themselves |
4277s | alive with these saves but all these |
4279s | passes finding similar results like this |
4281s | one another catch from Adam as we enter |
4283s | the final minute of this series |
4286s | over towards the |
4288s | sidewall still on the offensive zone of |
4291s | Fisher Navy one of I can't get to this |
4294s | one Seas the pinch again relieves that |
4297s | pressure but still gives away that |
4299s | possession again Adam catching it on |
4301s | that back well he's done so so many |
4303s | times even able to extend it just that |
4305s | much further 35 seconds now looming over |
4309s | Concord they fought here to get to this |
4312s | game five and now they haven't had an |
4315s | answer to Win It Sosa still jumping in |
4318s | Midfield one Mike there tries to line up |
4320s | the shot can't do so but Adam already up |
4324s | keeping this ball in the front Zone 15 |
4326s | seconds left on the clock does Concord |
4329s | have one last |
4331s | effort open shot crispy Over the Bar |
4335s | something that's really going to haunt |
4336s | him in the tape review unless the |
4337s | instant Redemption redirect it's Adam |
4340s | again zimas is front of the ball the |
4343s | ceiling pinches On Target it's on the |
4346s | goal line and fiser navy keeps the |
4349s | streak alive a Cinderella run if you |
4352s | didn't believe in their seed they keep |
4354s | moving Concord we'll see you next one |
4357s | we've seen teams before make historic |
4362s | lower bracket runs and Here Concord |
4365s | doing their best to write their names in |
4368s | history for our first crl ball 2024 open |
4374s | managing to find the win over Concord |
4378s | here incredible effort by fiser Navy |
4381s | namely in my opinion to Adam with the |
4384s | amount of goal line saves Midfield |
4387s | challenges Adam played a masterful game |
4391s | on both the offensive and defensive |
4393s | fronts and that pulled them ahead in my |
4396s | opinion just a little bit far forward in |
4398s | front of Concord what a phenomenal |
4401s | series though to have in our lower |
4403s | bracket being able to see all these |
4405s | saves come in all these goal line stops |
4408s | off of the awkward reads pre jumps on |
4410s | Ariel I mean the offense at times is |
4412s | pretty but the defense is what |
4414s | ultimately wins these games Fischer I |
4416s | think really was taken to the brink in a |
4418s | lot of these series again four game five |
4421s | victories in a row from day one now into |
4423s | day two so being able to take this many |
4426s | in a row to keep themselves alive I |
4428s | don't really have words and that's why |
4430s | I'm hoping devont and Seb on the desk |
4432s | have a little bit more than I do you |
4434s | know we talked about this Taco where |
4436s | like this is an alternate reality if |
4439s | University of Southern Miss won all |
4441s | their game fives except in this case |
4443s | it's fer this is unreal and it's not as |
4446s | if fiser by or conquor by any means are |
4449s | are playing bad or any of the sord or |
4451s | Fisher are playing bad both of them |
4454s | popped off to such a degree nant you're |
4458s | you're popping off how you feeling oh |
4459s | absolutely because you know what no one |
4462s | gave Fisher a chance except for me look |
4465s | Wonder Mike was this being a field |
4468s | General making sure the the ball was |
4470s | distributed well and it really was a |
4471s | passing game was a story here and one |
4473s | that might get the dub for the side of |
4475s | Fisher Navy they went took a little bit |
4477s | more games I thought they would have to |
4479s | do make it happen I called four games it |
4481s | took them five but a dub is a dub is a |
4483s | dub Taco I think the one thing that I do |
4486s | kind of feel bad about is like if there |
4488s | was ever a coming out party for a |
4490s | particular player on the losing side it |
4493s | was Helix this man put in so much work |
4497s | to get Concord across the finish line |
4500s | but it just fell short no I mean he was |
4502s | doing it really all he was getting a lot |
4504s | of the nice shots he was getting off |
4506s | some brilliant assists honestly the play |
4508s | of the entire series is going cross qu |
4510s | or maybe that replay on the spike down |
4512s | you can take your pick he was dominating |
4513s | a lot of this game which is not the |
4515s | player you'd expect the lowest or uh |
4517s | Prestige let's say player within the |
4519s | lobby but he fits like a glove but again |
4521s | you're playing against Fisher Navy |
4522s | they're high seed for reason they're a |
4524s | team that honestly the one thing most |
4526s | analysts in the scene were saying about |
4528s | them is like man if they could just find |
4529s | a little coordination and maybe scrim |
4531s | together a bit more I think they could |
4532s | be great and apparently they have been |
4534s | scrimming a lot more they have been |
4535s | looking for that coordination and now |
4536s | look at the result it might be a little |
4538s | bit to the brink every time but they're |
4541s | getting every Victory against |
4543s | increasingly impressive opponents now uh |
4545s | chicka I I'm very curious because I |
4548s | think tacu and I we've we talked about |
4550s | kind of the reasonings of what makes |
4551s | Fisher together and for a lot of our |
4553s | part we're thinking it's it's chemistry |
4556s | generally as to why this team has been |
4557s | built so well but you were casting this |
4559s | series firsthand what do you think was |
4562s | the key to Fisher success here because |
4564s | they went the full best of five four |
4566s | times in a row now so they definitely |
4568s | have something I other than the |
4570s | chemistry I think it's the individual |
4573s | heroic plays that you get out of each |
4576s | and every player I immediately out of |
4578s | the series said Adam I think Adam was |
4580s | phenomenal and then all of a sudden you |
4583s | have nant next to me saying one of my |
4585s | had the passes going through and then I |
4587s | know both of you all the time Love Sosa |
4589s | and the way that he plays offensively up |
4591s | field and the consisten see he's had so |
4595s | across the board it's everyone having |
4598s | not only their their kind of message in |
4600s | that chemistry but it's their little bit |
4602s | of heroic effort that they each bring to |
4605s | the table at different moments when it |
4607s | matters the most to bring them over the |
4609s | edge well fiser with that win will |
4612s | continue their lower bracket run but |
4615s | this opponent is a doozy it will be |
4618s | fiser versus Northwood in the lower |
4622s | final what a matchup to have coming up |
4625s | next after the break this is the crl |
4627s | we'll be right |
4632s | [Music] |
4638s | back another lonely night don't know |

5088s | tonight walking away |
5093s | [Music] |
5113s | welcome back everyone to colit Rocket |
5117s | League we are halfway there we went |
5119s | through our first match and our second |
5122s | match and now we are in the lower final |
5124s | after what was a incredible best of five |
5127s | with fiser coming out on top carrying |
5130s | that Legacy with them taking down one of |
5132s | the first European juggernauts coming |
5134s | into the crl and now let's take a look |
5138s | at how the bracket is shaping up because |
5141s | it's been a long bracket from the open |
5143s | up until now with some incredible runs |
5146s | but the most incredible run in this Taco |
5149s | is Fischer's lower bracket run four best |
5153s | of fives now in a row the last time they |
5156s | lost was a best of three to St Clair |
5159s | College who they then beat in a best of |
5162s | five all the way to now yeah it's |
5166s | actually unbelievable how it's almost at |
5167s | the point where this is mematic like |
5170s | this is very much something that we |
5171s | could really just troll about and say oh |
5173s | you know classic Fisher you go to game |
5175s | five but we mentioned there was a team |
5176s | Southern Mississippi that almost got |
5178s | Meed on that during the summer because |
5179s | they had I believe nine series that went |
5181s | to game five I think they lost a |
5182s | majority of them and now fish is turning |
5184s | it on its head saying hey we don't care |
5186s | how out of sorts this game looks how |
5188s | really random some of the score lines |
5190s | can get we're going to be able to pull |
5191s | that one out particularly because the |
5193s | mental fortitude of this team is |
5194s | impressive within that West Virginia |
5197s | match at one point West Virginia had a |
5199s | 61 Victory and Fisher Navy still able to |
5203s | just brush that off like it's nothing |
5205s | and then move on and of course now |
5207s | they're in the lower uh or rather the |
5209s | lower final against Northwood blue to |
5211s | say that they need to Peak is an |
5213s | understatement this is very much the |
5214s | test if you want to be the best if you |
5216s | can stand with Northwood then you can |
5218s | beat anybody what is the lower final and |
5220s | with it we only have three teams |
5223s | remaining we'll be kicking things off |
5224s | first with our lower final Northwood |
5226s | blue versus fiser Navy of course two |
5230s | respective juggernauts within the |
5233s | Eastern Conference historically within |
5235s | crl mville of course bringing in the two |
5239s | Europeans but still the King of the West |
5243s | as ever they are waiting in the grand |
5245s | finals to see who will be their |
5247s | Challenger now let's formally introduce |
5250s | our two teams Northwood blue versus |
5253s | fiser College Navy and with it both |
5258s | bringing in New pieces to see if they |
5260s | can continue to battle it out at the top |
5263s | level within the crl for Northwood blue |
5266s | of course they're bringing in one |
5267s | Canadian in creams for Fisher Navy they |
5271s | already of course have Sosa as the |
5272s | Canadian representative but in uh of |
5275s | course with Adam and W Mike bringing in |
5278s | those pieces from both Old Miss and |
5281s | mville |
5283s | respectively really in that sense |
5285s | creating one of the best teams in North |
5286s | America from a high level rlcs |
5288s | standpoint both these teams can compete |
5290s | with each other I'm very excited to see |
5292s | how this matchup goes because uh chicks |
5295s | historically between these two teams |
5297s | they've matched up about eight times and |
5299s | only twice has fiser been able to Trout |
5303s | Northwood one of them however was at the |
5306s | crl world championship last year but |
5310s | these are two completely different |
5311s | rosters yeah I mean Northwood has always |
5314s | been the juggernauts they've been the |
5316s | Titans that you can't defeat and they've |
5318s | been defeated today already hopefully |
5321s | their Spirits aren't also defeated to |
5324s | boot with it so Fisher Navy a lot to |
5327s | live up for of course they've been doing |
5330s | this constant game five beating them out |
5334s | and and clutching up when needed and we |
5336s | mentioned how well versed the entire |
5338s | roster is it's going to be a difficult |
5342s | game for both of these teams but I know |
5344s | a lot of them they had a lot to think |
5346s | think about and are very focused on |
5349s | getting to that that rematch or that |
5351s | grand stage against marville and North |
5355s | uh Taco in terms of Northwood I mean |
5357s | this is I think the first time they've |
5359s | been on a back foot in a proper long |
5362s | time where I think people are actually |
5363s | starting to doubt them where does |
5366s | Northwood take it from here against the |
5368s | likes of fiser and to be honest there's |
5370s | always been a level of COPE in a lot of |
5372s | the things with Northwood when they have |
5374s | suffered a loss where you say ah they |
5376s | did lose but they weren't playing that |
5378s | well honestly I just think frankly they |
5380s | were outplayed in that mville series it |
5382s | was not a prank aspect of just that oh |
5385s | they were playing off yeah maybe they |
5386s | were missing some reads maybe hockey |
5387s | could have had some angles that he want |
5389s | back but ultimately they were losing |
5390s | because they didn't get in position |
5392s | correctly they weren't managing boost |
5393s | well even at times and when they didn't |
5395s | get chances not always was it the most |
5397s | lethal chance I think they could have |
5399s | produced so in this game coming into |
5401s | this one I think it's going to be a |
5402s | little bit spooky for them primarily |
5404s | because they're playing it's a team that |
5405s | seems to always adjust to them and if |
5407s | they're not on their aame I mean this is |
5409s | basically like an rlcs level day three |
5411s | type of matchup that you would see in |
5413s | those closed qualifier type matchups |
5415s | like it's not an easy road so if they're |
5417s | not playing their best then they need to |
5418s | be quite apprehensive this is not just |
5420s | something the skill can carry you |
5421s | through on yeah exactly if if anyone in |
5423s | the chat is really wondering kind of |
5425s | where the metric of both these teams |
5428s | where the bar of both these teams are |
5429s | this is rlcs level this is across the |
5432s | board rlcs level every single one of |
5434s | these players have played for day three |
5436s | or even top 16 teams at one point or |
5438s | another we have two TSM players here |
5440s | this is the peak that you will see and |
5442s | with that let's get into predictions |
5445s | chicka it is going to be a tight one |
5447s | where's your prediction going you know |
5450s | my heart really wanted to go with the |
5453s | Fisher Navy run but my head says |
5456s | Northwood blue just can't not make a |
5459s | grand final so I'm going with Northwood |
5462s | they've been there too many times I know |
5465s | they want that rematch more than ever I |
5468s | think that pulls them ahead and this |
5469s | loser's final nanta are you |
5473s | sticking H man I got to respectfully |
5476s | disagree with chcka even though she is |
5478s | among the smartest ones in the rocket |
5480s | League space I'm feeling my heart saying |
5482s | fer did The Impossible about 30 minutes |
5485s | ago the team is feeling good on |
5487s | chemistry and they have the hot hand not |
5489s | only did Northwood lose their previous |
5491s | match they had to sit and watch the |
5493s | entire series that is only a detriment |
5496s | I'm picking Fisher for this one taco are |
5499s | you sued do you do you believe that is |
5502s | now the fourth straight series of cast |
5504s | of Fisher and they have won all of them |
5507s | I'm just going to say this time as a |
5509s | spectator I believe that they can keep |
5510s | going I it's weird to ever doubt |
5513s | Northwood but I feel like fer have |
5515s | captured something special they're never |
5517s | truly out of series and because of that |
5519s | I think if Northwood is not playing to |
5521s | their Peak then fiser 100% has this one |
5523s | I trust them to be able to get to that |
5524s | Grant listen anytime I've believed in a |
5527s | storyline of a particular team whether |
5529s | it was Ball State going through the |
5532s | lowers whether it was mville during |
5534s | summer series one team has been the |
5537s | result of smacking down my dreams and it |
5540s | has always been Northwood and that's not |
5543s | changing here give me Northwood of |
5545s | course the dynasty will remain as they |
5548s | look to go to the Grand finals that is |
5552s | our matchup it is split on the desk for |
5555s | what is a historic matchup within North |
5559s | America of course with Northwood versus |
5562s | fiser Kings of the East respectively |
5565s | both bringing in new pie pieces to see |
5569s | who will come out on top go to the Grand |
5572s | finals and face off against mville |
5574s | casters take it |
5578s | away oh my goodness me chck so we have |
5582s | ourselves a bit of a Titan Clash here |
5585s | best of five fiser versus Northwood blue |
5588s | this one here is going to be epic we |
5590s | have a split desk both of us are also |
5592s | split on who it takes it and I think |
5595s | there's Arguments for both sides 100% |
5598s | part of me wants to say Adam just wants |
5600s | to verst against his old team you mean |
5603s | what more more motivation could be than |
5606s | that and he's been having a phenomenal |
5608s | day but Northwood blue is just that team |
5611s | that always plays in your mind and I |
5614s | just have a feeling Cil creams and |
5615s | hockey have more to get if they end up |
5619s | third here they would Shock the World of |
5622s | crl going into tomorrow we'll see what |
5625s | really ends up happening but a lot for |
5628s | marville to think about who's waiting in |
5630s | that Grand Final spot yeah absolutely |
5633s | marville is pretty much bu their time to |
5635s | see who's going to be their opponent but |
5637s | I got to give props to North bu off the |
5639s | bat drawing the first save from fiser to |
5642s | make sure they're in front of that net |
5643s | still no score here in the game one is |
5645s | best of five and already we're getting a |
5647s | little bit of that game two game three |
5649s | Pace in this one yeah I don't think |
5651s | there's going to be much feeling out |
5653s | both these teams have played against |
5655s | each other multiple times maybe in these |
5657s | not exact combinations but every player |
5661s | familiar with who they're up against on |
5663s | the field it's going going to be |
5664s | masterful to be able to predict exactly |
5667s | what each team is doing seil on the ball |
5670s | here this one popped up a bump as well |
5673s | hockey couldn't find it drops it down to |
5675s | creams it's their second effort this one |
5678s | backboard another demo Sosa can't get |
5682s | there and the effort by Northwood blew |
5685s | on the first goal of game one yeah here |
5688s | was pretty much textbook understanding |
5690s | it was kind of an odd angle popped it up |
5692s | pass it around distribut the ball and |
5694s | drew the space out which gave you an |
5696s | option for one and option two but only |
5698s | option one was needed northw blue breaks |
5700s | the |
5701s | deadlock impressive to say the least |
5704s | that they managed to find such an early |
5707s | answer this one just put to the Wayside |
5710s | by Wonder Mike Adam in control quickly |
5712s | contested by hockey creams bumped away |
5715s | this one sent away another demo Wonder |
5717s | Mike last back with zero boost to save |
5721s | but the demo is coming out so strong for |
5723s | Northwood blue coming out with a |
5725s | Vengeance dare I say they are mad that |
5728s | they dropped that series Northwood never |
5731s | drops series and now they've come to |
5733s | play yeah absolutely when you have that |
5736s | time after a loss I know on the desk I |
5738s | said that's going to be to a Fisher |
5740s | Advantage you really have to decide what |
5742s | kind of team you're going to be you get |
5744s | ice cold you think about what went wrong |
5746s | or do you just go back into the lobby |
5748s | into free play to make sure you are |
5750s | sharp as you can to get that win back so |
5752s | far we have our answer but I can tell |
5754s | you one thing fer is not going to go |
5756s | away |
5757s | quietly they haven't been able to get |
5759s | out of their half but as we've seen |
5761s | throughout the series today fer has done |
5764s | so well defensively able to stop |
5768s | multiple scoring opportunities this one |
5770s | what a pass but Sosa can't get the shot |
5773s | past Wonder Mike and Adam as well |
5775s | missing here Wonder Mike going up for |
5777s | the second effort but creams def Flex it |
5779s | away and hockey even with the demo on |
5781s | Sosa to get rid of all offensive |
5783s | pressure potential Adam 50 this one a |
5786s | save and creams can't get to it either |
5788s | Adam back up on this one sends it away |
5790s | so one to mic both up who's going to hit |
5792s | it Adam needs to get back quick this is |
5795s | a one-on-one creams to pop it over and |
5797s | Adam still finds the recovery pressure |
5800s | still coming and again another answer by |
5804s | the fiser Navy defense seven saves are |
5807s | ready to start off game one yeah |
5809s | definitely looks like both team are |
5810s | trying to figure out how it was the best |
5811s | way to frustrate their opponent so many |
5813s | times you thought hey only need another |
5815s | half second I'll have a shot on frame |
5817s | and it's getting cut off at the pass and |
5819s | so you got to think about plan B's and |
5821s | plan C's even before you get the ball |
5823s | because it looks like both teams have |
5824s | read each other's |
5827s | Playbook Dan over to hockey the |
5830s | deflection off Target those need to be |
5833s | on more threatening shot searching |
5837s | hopefully later for Northwood blue |
5840s | Fisher Navy na an opportunity now on |
5843s | transition |
5844s | quickly 50ed away and Adam the popup |
5847s | would to make no boost back on the side |
5850s | of Northwood blue he'll steal some pop |
5853s | this one up hockey there first goes |
5855s | towards the back wall and Adam there to |
5857s | save again he's been a backboard monster |
5861s | all day today just as much as a Midfield |
5864s | challenge monster for this Fisher Navy |
5867s | side yeah the one thing I didn't see in |
5869s | my notes is that the first game was |
5871s | going to be defensive classic only one |
5873s | goal scor Ward and and this store holds |
5875s | I can imagine Northwood would love the |
5877s | advantage but this way I didn't see |
5880s | coming I was kind of expecting a bit of |
5881s | a Hit Parade as both teams try to get |
5883s | themselves into their strategies one and |
5885s | two but look it looks like everyone is |
5888s | pretty much r on this Playbook to make |
5889s | sure things are swatted away ah this |
5892s | one's So Close by creams again another |
5894s | missed opportunity for Northwood blue to |
5896s | extend the lead the Miss there almost a |
5899s | fake cck creams off guard but still |
5902s | manages to find the save Bishop Navy one |
5904s | last effort with 14 seconds left Adam |
5907s | does have Boost sidewall control can't |
5910s | get past the defender hockey doesn't |
5912s | find the clear though can what am I get |
5914s | the beat no it's 50 down the popups |
5917s | there but kems looking to send this one |
5920s | on the ground North FL blue squeak by a |
5923s | game one victory yeah it's not really |
5926s | often you see a team get by with just |
5928s | the minimum but the minimum is all you |
5930s | needed there was the early shot goal it |
5933s | was a a tightening down of the defense |
5935s | northw blue goes back to what they do |
5937s | best and that is frustrating their |
5938s | opponents they win game |
5940s | one Adam five saves creams six shots one |
5945s | for six on the side of Northwood blue |
5948s | similar story to what we've been seeing |
5950s | historically for these two teams at |
5952s | least in this tournament so far we know |
5954s | creams generally has the hot hand and |
5957s | that's the only goal that was scored all |
5959s | game the effort certainly there and Adam |
5961s | again has been picture perfect when it |
5964s | comes to defense today manages to find |
5967s | it and creams saving against Adams one |
5969s | shot that could have made the difference |
5972s | later on a lot to think about going into |
5975s | game number two but I think any team has |
5977s | the opportunity to go back and forth in |
5979s | this series in particular yeah |
5981s | absolutely if you're Fisher Navy you did |
5983s | everything you did well I mean the team |
5984s | played well I would even say they were |
5986s | better as far as the rotations were |
5988s | concerned didn't have the scoring |
5990s | options that they would like and so I |
5992s | don't think anything has to happen in |
5994s | game two to even up the series for that |
5997s | no it's going to be another battle I |
5999s | think again Adam's going to be targeted |
6002s | for those demos we saw Northwood blue |
6004s | bring out a lot of demos into their |
6006s | strategy early in this game one and I |
6009s | think it's going to be creams and |
6011s | everyone settling down a little bit |
6013s | hocky as well had some shots that should |
6015s | have been on Target that need to be on |
6017s | target if they expect to win moving on |
6020s | forward in this series and into the next |
6023s | if they get there so adjustments need to |
6025s | be made on both sides just a little bit |
6027s | but being that clinical we've mentioned |
6029s | pixels how many times today is the |
6031s | difference between moving on forward in |
6033s | this tournament the quality of play |
6036s | needs to be perfect and that one is not |
6040s | a perfect shot yeah absolutely that's |
6043s | kind of the most frustrating ones there |
6044s | you beat one Defender you beat two |
6046s | Defender you get denied by the woodwork |
6048s | it doesn't come out of nowhere but ever |
6050s | so often that crossbar goes into |
6051s | business for themselves Sosa has to |
6053s | collect themselves and have a bit more |
6055s | composure but you really can't wait to |
6057s | see or can't rely on saying I'm going to |
6059s | do something on frame and hope the |
6061s | crossbar works in your favor hocky has |
6064s | an opportunity to get to it first does |
6066s | beat out one Mike last and net going |
6069s | after it and hockey able to go through |
6072s | because again that demo that bump |
6074s | pressure coming from zenil yeah a bu |
6078s | pressure there but I have to give a shot |
6079s | to hockey for seeing an opponent seeing |
6081s | Defender come at them and decide to do |
6083s | off the wall pass to get themselves some |
6085s | space and that gave him all the time in |
6087s | the world to have that shot on frame it |
6088s | was really a big brain play to make sure |
6090s | your draws the defense out and that's |
6092s | what happened right |
6095s | there great answer for Northwood blue to |
6098s | start out with the lead again can the |
6100s | answer here for Sosa be on target Adam |
6104s | as well going up can't find it creams |
6106s | looking to chase does get the beat has |
6109s | one more the 50 popped towards the back |
6112s | wall can't be found hockey on the turn |
6115s | gets this one towards the other corner |
6117s | is cream's there first the 50 still |
6120s | sitting in that corner zil off the wall |
6122s | not the greatest touch can't get the |
6124s | bump on Adam and Adam finds the space |
6127s | and gets the clear up field to allow his |
6129s | team to rotate through not to be all Mr |
6133s | Doom and Gloom but I wouldn't be an |
6134s | analysis if I wasn't doing that 6 |
6137s | minutes and change gone by not nearly a |
6139s | score from Fisher blue especially after |
6142s | the last series it might be ca for |
6144s | concern what do you have to do to get |
6146s | something on the tally and that was a |
6147s | shot there cleared Away by |
6149s | Adam K both close opportunities for |
6154s | these |
6154s | teams it's going to be pixels it's going |
6157s | to be something crazy in order to score |
6159s | cream gifted this ball in the air has |
6163s | the opportunity Parts the Sea of |
6166s | Defenders and zenil finds the Finish |
6168s | Northwood blue yet another goal to |
6171s | extend their lead yeah gets a credit for |
6174s | the goal there but shout out to cre are |
6175s | not only doing one thing and that is |
6177s | going off Target to draw the defense out |
6180s | to put them out of position for that |
6182s | rebound and any team worth their assault |
6184s | will have a second option ready to go |
6186s | zil was there like a dog of Thanksgiving |
6188s | dinner and that's why it's two n right |
6192s | now the Neil back into Midfield creams |
6195s | is there gets the beat back forward one |
6197s | Mike into the corner low boosts the |
6200s | entire Fisher Navy |
6202s | side Here Comes hockey sends it Midfield |
6205s | Z Neil shot blocked initially creams |
6207s | left to come on through manages to find |
6209s | the only 50 he can pops it up hockey |
6213s | just faking it maybe getting a bump off |
6215s | here is searching for that bump and Adam |
6218s | manages to just find a piece of that |
6221s | ball North one blue have a strategy |
6224s | they've stuck to it now can they manage |
6227s | to find the save somehow through all the |
6230s | chaos in front of net the saves made one |
6233s | of Mike still searching finds the bump |
6236s | makes the heroic play and Fisher Navy |
6238s | find one between this all just going to |
6241s | say the last scoring drive there with |
6243s | Sosa I was like you got to start being |
6245s | so generous with your teammates you got |
6247s | to go into business for yourself and |
6248s | wonder Mike does just that says I'm |
6250s | going to Strongarm this battering ram |
6252s | style but that lead in half fer is |
6254s | finally on the |
6257s | board took them 8 minutes to do so and |
6261s | now they have to do so again in this |
6263s | series and even hopes of tying it twice |
6266s | more of course to win it which seems |
6269s | like an impossible feat against |
6271s | Northwood blue who seems to be back to |
6273s | their old selves maybe not perfectly not |
6277s | Peak Performance Northwood blue but |
6279s | certainly more comfortable than what we |
6282s | saw in the previous series The Neil |
6284s | going for the one-on-one Adam rarely |
6287s | stopped in the goal line as we've seen |
6288s | today to make another save this one also |
6291s | saved away but Northland blue keeping |
6294s | the pressure up and managing to find the |
6296s | deflections on the defensive Zone as |
6298s | well yeah I'm with you chicka I feel |
6300s | like this is a very a beatable Northwood |
6302s | I don't want to say the word sloppy but |
6304s | not really as crisp as we're used to but |
6306s | these are some of the tactics they've |
6307s | used to their advantage and so far with |
6309s | the game in hand and as the score stands |
6312s | right now willing to win the second one |
6315s | you can't really deny you got to go |
6316s | what's working even if you're not doing |
6318s | it as efficiently as possible trying to |
6321s | get crazy with it it was |
6324s | this one hockey up to zenil zil's there |
6326s | backboard re may be found but one to M |
6329s | to send it away creams needs to read |
6331s | this one off the back wall he does just |
6334s | that shot off Target Sosa no you need |
6337s | the deflection I know that's a difficult |
6340s | angle but a missed opportunity for fiser |
6342s | and Davy to tie the score line now |
6345s | looking on the transition to find an |
6347s | opportunity and still they're swatted |
6350s | away can Fisher Navy find a way |
6353s | consistently score in this series |
6356s | straight up feels bad man if I had so |
6358s | many opportunities that were going to go |
6360s | to Sosa it didn't work out for them I'll |
6361s | have a million dollars but Wonder M |
6363s | cleans up the garbage man cometh it's |
6366s | kind of a thing we didn't see coming but |
6367s | we did see the result it's now level |
6369s | once more to a piece one Mike making it |
6372s | his game to shine both goals off of him |
6375s | he's been the only way for sure Navy can |
6378s | score and he's just putting it straight |
6381s | on target a solo effort a pass him this |
6383s | one can he do it again back forward here |
6386s | zenil gets the touch Sosa on the 50 |
6390s | creams the clear out Adam safely into |
6393s | corner there we see overtime this one |
6396s | will touch the ground overtime in game |
6399s | two decides if we go to match point for |
6402s | Northwood blue or a tied up series to |
6405s | start off our losers final I'm going to |
6408s | be honest with you no team in tournament |
6409s | play likes overtime this one here is |
6412s | definitely something we have to go |
6413s | through because Northwood again is |
6415s | making sure it works but not as really |
6417s | as effective as it were used to but |
6419s | Fisher blue finally gets Fisher Navy |
6421s | excuse me finally gets themselves on the |
6423s | board really late in this one so this |
6425s | might be very pivotal more than Norful |
6427s | more than normal and see which one's |
6429s | going to move on had two unanswered |
6431s | goals of course by fiser Navy so the |
6434s | momentum should be currently in their |
6436s | favor but it doesn't feel like that on |
6439s | the field creams the challenge he gets |
6441s | Another Touch gets another one follow |
6444s | but this one off towards the Wayside the |
6447s | popup hockey there first can't get |
6449s | another touch to follow creams back on |
6452s | it does get the beat the shot the pass |
6455s | and this one on through for a Northwood |
6458s | blue win yeah this one here is not bad |
6462s | necessarily but the fact you draw two |
6464s | Defenders that didn't have a chance when |
6465s | you have more than one team uh member |
6468s | with is definitely HZ a psyche doesn't |
6470s | matter though Norwood blue gets two wins |
6472s | and two attempts they're at series |
6475s | Point feels weird to see Fisher Navy |
6480s | fall so much in this series to start but |
6483s | I |
6484s | mean they had almost a similar situation |
6488s | last game just kind of opposite now need |
6490s | a reverse sweep and Northwood blue was |
6494s | swept and now looking for the sweep |
6496s | today has just been regular chaotic |
6500s | collegate nature Fisher maybe have to |
6504s | figure out better ways to score up field |
6508s | and now they also need to find a way to |
6510s | manage the bumps and the demos that come |
6512s | out of Northwood blue they're fast on |
6515s | those rotations you know the mechanical |
6517s | ability of creams and zenil you have to |
6520s | have an answer to it yeah absolutely I |
6522s | think one of the weaknesses of of having |
6524s | Wonder Mike on your staff is that when |
6526s | you're down he is definitely one person |
6529s | or they are definitely one person to put |
6531s | the team on their back and say I'm want |
6532s | to be a hero right and so you have a a |
6535s | Supporting Cast you can help that out |
6537s | with distribution they get the dubs but |
6539s | when it's just him or them going forward |
6541s | and just not being the hero they thought |
6544s | they were going to be they they come |
6545s | against El's that's what we saw right |
6547s | here yeah wam m a phenomenal player but |
6550s | normally when you think of scoring you |
6551s | think of Adam and Soso a little bit more |
6554s | than window Mike we saw him earlier and |
6556s | how well he did at passing plays to set |
6559s | up his teammates but Sosa just hasn't |
6561s | been able to get in the back of the net |
6563s | this series same thing with Adam both |
6566s | have been stopped or just haven't had |
6569s | the accuracy on Target that is needed to |
6572s | play against Northwood blue maybe it's |
6574s | the nerves to be fighting against such a |
6576s | team but now match point is upon them |
6580s | they have to play |
6582s | critical clinical |
6585s | Play No both clinical and critical but I |
6588s | think you nail on the head SOS has a lot |
6590s | of opportunities dead to rise didn't get |
6592s | those and so we saw a lot of people |
6593s | trying to step up when they didn't |
6595s | really need toste of sck of the game |
6596s | plan but you're right serious point for |
6598s | North Blue a good Redemption Arc for |
6601s | them but shooting accuracy will be the |
6603s | story line when it's all said and done |
6605s | because I really feel like both these |
6606s | teams could have eight goals a game if |
6608s | they had everything on target |
6611s | mhm cram's opportunity flip reset here |
6615s | sent it up to hockey but Adam yet |
6617s | another save to add on to his list of |
6620s | saves today this one saved away and now |
6624s | back in Midfield one M there first sends |
6626s | it up the beat though by hockey wins |
6629s | either by 50 or just by speed zil |
6633s | sidewall sends this down doesn't get |
6635s | another touch but does bump the car of |
6637s | Adam Sosa last back gets it away |
6639s | oneon-one with hockey hockey to win in |
6642s | Wonder my good thing he's there sends it |
6644s | away Sosa flip reset shot on target K |
6647s | saving it away more pressure coming one |
6650s | Mike he can't be stopped in this series |
6652s | fish Navy has their score and it is one |
6656s | to Mike this is what we're talking about |
6658s | right two attempts for Sosa couldn't get |
6660s | it done and wonder Mike had to push up |
6662s | to really put that ball past the net now |
6665s | it went in for them props but have |
6667s | Wonder Mike missed they would have been |
6669s | totally open for the Counterattack this |
6670s | is a very dangerous game pitcher's |
6672s | playing hopefully it works out for them |
6674s | because if it doesn't we know what |
6675s | happened zil try to do something |
6678s | creative certainly we haven't seen a |
6681s | successful Play Just Like That yet |
6683s | granted not saying things won't happen |
6686s | shot by |
6687s | Sosa off Target again off both posts |
6692s | this point Sosa needs to figure out a |
6695s | way to I don't know Flip Flip the corner |
6698s | better heads or tails is is how we're |
6701s | going for most of these shots he has to |
6703s | find these On Target R Fisher Navy is |
6706s | going to continue to struggle to score |
6708s | up field creams getting past hockey the |
6711s | speed at him there again |
6713s | defensive master class one thing I've |
6716s | learned out of Adam today is you do not |
6719s | want to be up against him if he is the |
6721s | Last Man Standing on defense yeah there |
6724s | always seems to be one player on every |
6726s | team that covers a lot more ground than |
6728s | their peers that's definitely been Adam |
6730s | today and usually it doesn't really |
6732s | matter if you're rocking and rolling but |
6733s | with goals being so hard to come by you |
6735s | kind of wish there were more in an |
6736s | offensive position so got to give it up |
6738s | to wonder Mike and S their challenge now |
6740s | is to give Adam that much space cuz he |
6743s | really able to tame Defenders like that |
6745s | he should have an opportunity to put |
6747s | goals on |
6748s | frame straight down SOA there first |
6750s | descend it towards the back wall creams |
6753s | the clear back towards the other end |
6755s | hockey chasing for that demo can't find |
6758s | a piece of it now Sosa looking to set up |
6761s | maybe himself but that touch still just |
6763s | too far and wi mighte can only send it |
6766s | initially at him the early challenge in |
6768s | midfields been doing it all day long |
6771s | Sosa the shot saved by creams still has |
6775s | control sends it towards the other end |
6776s | Adam on the 50 creams winning though |
6779s | initially not enough boost to keep on |
6781s | forward and hockey beat here by Sosa as |
6784s | well can the follow-up transition come |
6786s | through somebody always back on defense |
6789s | I'll be honest with you chicksa after |
6791s | what three games or two games in a |
6793s | change happening right now do not think |
6795s | that goals would be this hard to come by |
6797s | imagine this be a second game in the |
6799s | series being decided but just one goal |
6801s | being scored |
6803s | I'm not necessarily surprised by the |
6805s | level of which crl has risen I mean |
6809s | Northland blue used to beat out games in |
6812s | very convincing fashion 60 |
6815s | 71 52 whatever it would be but now it's |
6819s | bridged the Gap in competition we really |
6822s | have more than just a team that's at the |
6825s | top of of the dynasty it's not one team |
6828s | in east or west to begin with now |
6830s | they're all grouped together and equally |
6834s | as difficult to deal against I'd say our |
6836s | top eight is the strongest eight |
6839s | historically we've ever had in crl and |
6841s | that's what makes these games |
6843s | continuously so close really only one |
6845s | sweep in our bracket of today otherwise |
6849s | it's been game fives and games four |
6851s | littered across this bracket yep heavy |
6854s | is a head that wears a crown you just |
6856s | can't expect to steamroll a team anymore |
6858s | but even though Northwood is down by a |
6861s | goal got to give a shout out to dreams |
6863s | with so many goals already with the |
6864s | Savior tag with some time to spare in |
6867s | this |
6868s | one holding on another 10 seconds right |
6871s | now is fiser Navy they may extend this |
6875s | SE series just a little longer going to |
6878s | don't count out zenil the flick the one |
6881s | to touch the ground and Fisher Navy do |
6884s | indeed take one in this |
6886s | series it wasn't pretty I can even say |
6888s | it was bowling shoe ugly but you know |
6890s | what a win is a win and you Force game |
6892s | four Fisher Navy I'm surprised I don't |
6896s | know what each team needs to make |
6898s | adjustment wise of course we need Sosa |
6901s | to not go over for four I'm sorry to |
6903s | keep calling out Sosa but D when it |
6906s | comes down to it uh you know stuff like |
6908s | that can make or break the game and and |
6910s | how well Fisher's been doing in the |
6912s | series so far as for Northwood blue I |
6915s | would say the two shots is the biggest |
6917s | thing that screams to me it's very rare |
6919s | Northwood goes a game without having |
6921s | maybe at least five five if not more I'm |
6925s | going to be honest with you I mean being |
6926s | over four it happens a lot especially if |
6928s | you're if I'm playing I go over six |
6930s | sometimes but I think the more critical |
6932s | thing is the lack of assists right only |
6933s | Adam with the one assist with the one |
6935s | goal being scored if you are shooting |
6937s | targets you're if you're beating to |
6938s | defense to get the balls on the frame |
6941s | there has to be a second option playing |
6943s | up with you if you don't have the hot |
6944s | hand yourself I think that's what Fisher |
6946s | is missing if they find to say hey look |
6948s | one the mic or hey Adam be there in case |
6950s | I whiff or in case I hit the frame then |
6953s | there might be a different score line |
6954s | all together but as we've mentioned |
6956s | Adam's always that last line of defense |
6958s | so it's very rare that Adam comes up off |
6961s | the third man rle between Midfield and |
6964s | backfield to make the opportunity |
6966s | forward I really think Adam in a sense |
6969s | is so stuck to be stopping everything |
6972s | that it's only Sosa and wind Mica |
6974s | Fielder times and Adam may be getting an |
6976s | assist here there but it's very rare |
6979s | it's very rare that Adam scores and |
6982s | because of it it's it's been that much |
6984s | harder for Fisher Navy to score as a |
6986s | whole absolutely agree with you 100% |
6989s | this is why you should have put yourself |
6990s | into hard roles on a rocket League team |
6993s | but that's just me just picking these |
6995s | nets it's a game for situation northw |
6998s | blue is still at sir's point one win and |
7000s | they advance that Grand |
7003s | Final got him up over to Sosa Sosa |
7007s | backboard one to Mike in last and Adam |
7009s | sending it back over to Sosa popped up |
7012s | here n it's open this one off the |
7014s | crossbar good thing one Mike there to |
7016s | finish and Fisher Navy again have only |
7019s | scored in this series so far with Wonder |
7022s | Mike hey look at this one here what was |
7025s | I saying before spreading the wealth |
7026s | around Wonder Mike just waiting to be |
7028s | that second option at the bottom 90 make |
7031s | sure they did it and that's why Fisher |
7032s | Navy is out on top pop up right off |
7035s | kickoff zil there first has a pretty |
7037s | open goal fakes out SOA manages to find |
7041s | an answer in Northwood blue on the board |
7044s | I'm not sure if that was a fake out or |
7045s | just s hit the wrong button either way I |
7047s | can relate PHS backflip man oh my |
7050s | goodness me there is your equalizer one |
7053s | a |
7054s | piece yeah there's very few players in |
7058s | crl that you do not want to get caught |
7060s | in a 1 V one well there's actually a lot |
7062s | of players if I'm playing against them |
7064s | but zil is one of them for the rest of |
7066s | the crl field that you do not want to be |
7069s | caught in One V ones against same thing |
7072s | with creams both of them Absolute |
7074s | monsters on the pitch and zil plays that |
7077s | beautifully well patience is key we'll |
7082s | see how patient Northwood blue can be to |
7085s | get some offense going now up field |
7087s | instead of right off kickoff one to Mike |
7089s | has been doing many things that build |
7091s | another demo to come through from hockey |
7093s | who in particular has done most of the |
7096s | demoing as well as the bumps in this one |
7099s | creams 50 hockey no finish just yet |
7102s | theost Ste to boot and now still tied 1 |
7105s | we figure out does someone extend this |
7107s | lead further hockey to do just that yeah |
7112s | that secondary scoring option is going |
7113s | to be the story of this one zenil did |
7115s | all the hard work drew the defense right |
7117s | in the middle but once you make it clear |
7119s | you can't be in a position to be that |
7120s | second clear unless you are goated out |
7122s | your mind and hockey cleans it up 2-1 |
7125s | but you're saying as before about One V |
7127s | ones I am terrible at those modes |
7129s | because you really can't blame your |
7130s | teammates when it comes to that and I do |
7132s | thing that both these teams are seeing |
7134s | what happens if you're not that smart on |
7135s | the 1 V one game straight down Sosa |
7138s | having an opportunity can't get through |
7140s | Adam as well trying to push the pressure |
7143s | for fiser Navy this one won't be there |
7147s | to finish on out back to |
7149s | Midfield have to wonder Northwood blue |
7153s | are they going to extend further on |
7154s | these opportunities or is Fisher Navy |
7157s | going to have to do something themselves |
7159s | this one just off Target this back and |
7161s | forth game has continuously not ended |
7165s | Pooh is going to end up finding a way to |
7170s | be in control of this game yeah |
7174s | absolutely Win Lose or Draw there really |
7176s | has to been a team that's dominated I |
7178s | mean it's about halftime here only one |
7179s | goal separates that and now it's two |
7182s | hockey finally gets some daylight that |
7184s | is two goals up for |
7186s | Northwood zenil again being very tricky |
7189s | with it you can't get a better pass down |
7193s | to your teammate then that hockey gifted |
7196s | that ball and he has now had two goals |
7198s | on target both assisted it's phenomenal |
7202s | to see the team play from Northwood blue |
7204s | they're clicking as we've seen in the |
7206s | past and with half this game gone Fisher |
7209s | Navy need to to answer and they have not |
7212s | been in the game of scoring goals so far |
7215s | yeah what are we seeing though for |
7216s | Northwood blue I mean both teams can use |
7218s | it to the benefit as really having a |
7221s | shot on frame and not and having a |
7223s | secondary scoring option not rotate yes |
7225s | it's risky if you miss or whiff but |
7228s | northw has been doing that and being in |
7230s | clutch situations to get those cleanup |
7232s | goals that really weren't on the board |
7234s | uh given a certain kind of offensive run |
7236s | so Props to them and wonder Mike gets |
7239s | one another secondary scoring option to |
7240s | make it 3-2 Wonder Mike still the only |
7243s | one to score for Fisher Navy gets a |
7247s | beautiful bar down shot manages to keep |
7251s | fiser Navy in this series in this game |
7254s | in particular Sosa credited with both |
7258s | assists 2 minutes left on the clock it |
7261s | has gone blow for blow novada you've |
7264s | been asking for scores all game long and |
7268s | now you've gotten them five in this one |
7271s | I think it might be one of the higher |
7273s | scoring games that we've seen all day |
7275s | today yeah I mean I I asked for that |
7277s | you're right but not like this man all |
7280s | the goals were the same someone shoots |
7282s | up they get stopped and the secondar is |
7284s | one's hanging out there just taking up |
7286s | the scraps that's fine but ultimately if |
7288s | you think about this tournament play you |
7290s | want to be able to really put your |
7292s | opponent on the back foot why do I say |
7295s | that Sosa makes this a brand new game |
7297s | equalizer three a piece with lesson |
7299s | ready to go you know if you yell at Sosa |
7301s | enough eventually he'll get on through |
7303s | and I may have yelled at Sosa enough |
7305s | this series but he does he does find the |
7309s | goal on this opportunity he manages to |
7312s | get the equalizer as you said for fiser |
7315s | Navy Fisher Navy three goals this game |
7317s | we've been asking for them to score they |
7320s | answer here they've made this a ball |
7323s | game and now they're still fighting to |
7326s | stay in this series one more gives them |
7328s | the lead whichever team in Northwood |
7332s | blue still searching to finish out this |
7335s | series I hope you're happy just bullying |
7338s | so so afternoon no I'm just kidding but |
7340s | yes imagine forcing in game five even |
7342s | that' be something that's be on the list |
7345s | of things to be desired but northal blue |
7347s | has to shut this down for their own |
7348s | benefit for their own psyche less than a |
7350s | minute to go here pretty much a silver |
7352s | go situation next goal score could |
7354s | pretty much walk away with the dub let's |
7356s | see if it's going to be northw blue Adam |
7358s | On Target denil saving to the corner |
7361s | Adam again Sosa trying to find the |
7363s | Finish but creams was there hockey |
7366s | taking his time going into the air this |
7368s | one off the backboard straight down |
7370s | can't find the touch initially zenil the |
7372s | shot on target but Wonder Mike the save |
7375s | 20 seconds left on the clock dare we get |
7378s | another over time game to nail the rest |
7382s | of Northwood blue pushing last effort on |
7386s | the Fisher Navy half hockey saved away |
7389s | Adams cleared seal the shot is it down |
7392s | it's an own goal 4 seconds left and |
7395s | Northwood Blues on top to an own goal |
7399s | hockey with the going to the pass going |
7402s | outside top 90 bottom down and well I |
7405s | said silver goal situation 4 seconds is |
7407s | a lot of time but that may be the |
7411s | dagger kickoff goes out over into Kem Z |
7417s | Neil the fake hockey the shot it's Barn |
7420s | down once more Northwood blue continue |
7425s | their revenge tour they have a grand |
7428s | finals match awaiting them I got to be |
7432s | honest the Northwood blue standers that |
7434s | was bowling shoe ugly but a win is a win |
7437s | they move |
7438s | on what a series I agreed what a series |
7443s | very unpredictable series when it came |
7447s | down to it but Fisher Navy not having |
7451s | the cohesion that we saw from them |
7453s | earlier in the day today at times they |
7457s | just fell a little bit short and one M |
7459s | being the only one to score for so long |
7462s | in that series as well I think held them |
7465s | back you need more than one person to be |
7468s | able to get it in the back of the net |
7470s | and Northwood blue just have a little |
7472s | bit more spice to them on that entire |
7475s | roster still a very historic run for |
7479s | fiser Navy in the next open your eyes |
7482s | better be open because Fisher's coming |
7485s | whether in the upper or lower bracket to |
7487s | play you yeah I'm with you 100% that |
7490s | team is better when one Mike is really |
7492s | the bully in the mid pitch and so see |
7495s | your shooting option but speaking of |
7496s | bullies let's see what's going on with |
7499s | that Des because I want to see what they |
7501s | were thinking about in this best of Five |
7509s | series I know you don't want to get |
7511s | bullied but listen you're 0 through bud |
7514s | uh you tried to you tried to play the |
7516s | momentum okay you tried to flip and go |
7519s | oh I believe in the Fisher run Northwood |
7522s | exists and has existed for years you |
7525s | should know this we've talked about |
7527s | this yeah I believed in the narrative |
7529s | more than anything else because I'm |
7530s | thinking to myself you know Fisher |
7532s | they've adjusted everyone and that's the |
7533s | key playing against a team you're going |
7535s | to get slapped around a little bit in |
7536s | the beginning and that's exactly what |
7537s | happened but then I saw it I was like oh |
7539s | this is what I was predicting but |
7541s | eventually they make one bad clear it's |
7543s | going to inter net oh they make a second |
7544s | one that's also going to inter net So |
7546s | eventually Northwood is just too good |
7548s | they don't throw away too many chances I |
7550s | think Fisher just crumbled under the |
7551s | weight of that and after they've had a |
7553s | very long day going the distance every |
7555s | single series having to probably have to |
7557s | refuel after every single series I'm |
7559s | sure just mentally exhausting not to |
7561s | mention just having to stress your |
7562s | fingers out I feel like it was an |
7565s | admirable effort But ultimately |
7566s | Northwood miss the Grand Final I just |
7568s | don't feel like that's in the Wheelhouse |
7570s | right now yeah listen uh the crl has |
7572s | changed but it hasn't changed so much to |
7575s | the point where we're not going to see |
7576s | Northwood in at least the Grand Final |
7579s | that being said I think regardless this |
7581s | was was a fantastic tournament run and a |
7584s | really you know return to form from |
7586s | fiser that they so desperately needed to |
7589s | earn some of that respect back to really |
7591s | kind of get themselves back in the |
7593s | conversation as one of the best collegia |
7594s | teams uh within North America I mean |
7597s | listen we just before this a bunch of |
7599s | analysts were able to make our power |
7600s | rankings about where we were trying to |
7603s | place fiser a lot of us had him pretty |
7605s | low and not to to my own horn but I did |
7608s | have them pretty high had them around |
7609s | Fifth and even then they still were able |
7612s | to exceed expectations take down |
7615s | juggernauts take down some of the |
7616s | highest hype people that we had within |
7618s | kich rocket league and were able to make |
7621s | that effort for that grand final at |
7624s | least push Northwood a little bit which |
7626s | is more than what a lot of other teams |
7628s | do that being said I mean Unfortunately |
7630s | they do fall at third and ion despite |
7632s | that I I still think we have a lot to |
7634s | see from fer yeah absolutely I mean |
7637s | Fisher Navy even the the Fisher in in |
7639s | general with both squads have shown what |
7642s | that organization is all about and the |
7644s | way they play their game it just really |
7646s | wasn't their game today Sosa shooting |
7649s | accuracy was a problem one Mike had to |
7650s | play up and be that second secondary |
7653s | scoring option and it really wasn't the |
7655s | kind of game they want to play they got |
7657s | North wooded to say the least and that's |
7659s | pretty much happened to them tonight all |
7661s | right well next up it is going to be our |
7665s | grand final we're down to our last two |
7669s | teams but that'll be right after the |
7672s | break we're going to take a second to |
7674s | just set up this whole match really |
7676s | digest everything that's going on |
7678s | because it's going to be Northwood |
7680s | versus mville after the break this is |
7682s | the crl we'll be right back |

8169s | welcome back everyone to the crl it has |
8173s | been a long journey to come here okay |
8177s | we've had a Open Bracket we with |
8180s | 358 teams registered competing to get to |
8185s | this moment all for that top eight |
8187s | bracket every single match has mattered |
8191s | throughout the entire bracket you only |
8193s | get two lives and it has come down to |
8195s | our final two teams with our bracket |
8198s | ahead of us you can see the results of |
8201s | the chaos what a large bracket to come |
8204s | down to this moment we've had upsets |
8207s | we've had incredible runs and even |
8209s | though Fischer made an incredible run |
8211s | for themselves it unfortunately fell at |
8215s | the last hurdle that is of course Taco |
8218s | the inevitable Northwood yeah it really |
8220s | is inevitable and the fact that I even |
8222s | thought for one second to rot against |
8224s | them in that scenario where they |
8225s | absolutely have to win is a little |
8227s | delusional but I really didn't believe |
8228s | in it it's the same way that I feel like |
8230s | when you look at marville Northwood in |
8232s | the previous competitions you're |
8233s | thinking I mean this would be psychotic |
8235s | if this is even a tossup but I do really |
8237s | feel like this is mville at top of the |
8238s | powers the best team in West against |
8240s | Northwood the best team in really The |
8242s | Clash of the Titans that we're all |
8243s | waiting for and so seeing a match up |
8246s | like that and see Northwood really just |
8247s | get I would say they're behinds handed |
8249s | to them more or less in that upper final |
8251s | and then go in the lower final and play |
8253s | like we expect them to it's nice to see |
8255s | that their run back is still there and |
8256s | they still have the ability to talk to |
8257s | each other and fix anything on a short |
8259s | notice considering this is all happening |
8260s | in just one day yeah of course and now |
8263s | we are here let's take a look at what |
8265s | the rest of the schedule is I mean |
8267s | listen I mean by schedule we've already |
8269s | gone through the three matches that we |
8272s | needed to mville taking down Northwood |
8274s | in a dramatic upset sweeping them to put |
8278s | them in lowers fer going the full five |
8281s | against Concord knocking out the |
8283s | European hopefuls and now in the lower |
8286s | final fiser fell to Northwood blue of |
8290s | course and as we as always say Northwood |
8293s | is inevitable and now for a Grand Final |
8296s | it will be Northwood versus mville for a |
8300s | full best of seven here to kick off what |
8304s | will be our first of four crl opens and |
8309s | Novant we wouldn't have it any other way |
8311s | this is the summer series final |
8315s | rematch yeah we thought we're were |
8317s | pretty much done getting that preview |
8318s | earlier today but why not make it a |
8320s | grand final with a bit more Stakes with |
8323s | these six battle cars to say you truth |
8325s | this is a main event match to begin with |
8327s | but the fact it is the main event today |
8329s | is icing on the cake and going through |
8331s | the rosters marville again this isn't |
8332s | the exact same marville that you saw |
8334s | from summer series this is a essentially |
8339s | improved in many ways you look at the EU |
8341s | players that we have on here relating |
8343s | wave and speed to those of you who are |
8345s | rlcs fans you are very familiar with |
8348s | those two names but alongside them and I |
8351s | think to a lot of people they might be |
8353s | forgetting about we essentially have |
8355s | what was the Western MVP in night who |
8358s | was not hard carrying but definitely a |
8361s | statistical anomaly for mville really |
8364s | putting mville on the map helping to get |
8367s | them to that Grand Final spot where |
8369s | Unfortunately they did fall to that |
8371s | Northwood blue roster across from them |
8374s | creams hockey and zenil this is the |
8378s | equivalent of a crl super team if we've |
8382s | ever seen one creams of course and |
8384s | hockey both coming in from TSM zenil |
8387s | forly of Cloud9 coming on to the same |
8390s | roster to see if they can continue the |
8393s | Northwood Dynasty and chicka I mean |
8396s | listen I have never been able to doubt |
8399s | Northwood because every single time they |
8401s | have proven me wrong and it doesn't |
8404s | matter they always find their way in a |
8405s | grand final they did find themselves |
8408s | their way through I'm happy I got one |
8410s | prediction at least today me oh go wait |
8413s | we we've been drawing straws to see who |
8415s | can actually get one right uh it's been |
8418s | not easy to say the least but Northland |
8420s | BL inevitable they get to Grand finals |
8423s | they always find a way they do have |
8425s | seemingly the best players on the pitch |
8427s | or some of the most experienced players |
8429s | on the pitch at least on the na side of |
8432s | things but we keep forgetting EU how |
8434s | long the history is of rlcs for both |
8437s | speed and relating waves they've done |
8440s | wonderful today and you have to wonder |
8442s | what they're going to do again in this |
8444s | rematch of the upper final that we saw |
8447s | in a best of five version earlier and so |
8450s | with that let's get to predictions |
8452s | because it is a grand final that I think |
8454s | has so much Stakes on it for both these |
8457s | teams and for the rest of K rocket |
8459s | League to nant where do you see our |
8461s | grand final going man I know mville got |
8465s | the dub earlier today but Northwood |
8467s | cannot be denied they are the gold |
8470s | standard I'm going with Northwood here |
8471s | but it won't be easy for anyone to pitch |
8474s | here today |
8476s | Taco this one is particularly because |
8480s | doubting North is really a Fool's errand |
8483s | and I am doing it only because I do know |
8486s | obviously mville has won before but keep |
8488s | in mind this is an upper bracket mville |
8490s | Northwood has to win in order to win |
8492s | this Grand Final win this competition |
8494s | for Sierra open one they have to win two |
8496s | best of sevens back to back I believe |
8498s | marville might not win the first one but |
8501s | I do feel like by the end they will be |
8503s | able to take this one home I have mville |
8504s | in this Grand Final taking their first |
8506s | big trophy of the Season chicks up and |
8511s | summer series Northwood won in the upper |
8514s | finals and a best of seven going to |
8517s | seven then they swept them in the |
8520s | followup Grand finals earlier we saw a |
8522s | sweep out of mville I think in this time |
8525s | they go to seven and marville takes it |
8528s | similar kind of Swip Swap but mville I |
8532s | think will come out on top they stomp |
8534s | earlier you can't deny them the victory |
8537s | in this one well I went on on Twitter |
8541s | and callx called me out one of the |
8543s | mville Players called me out for my |
8546s | prediction against mville and I'm not |
8550s | changing my mind Northwood has never |
8552s | been beaten twice in a row from what |
8554s | I've seen in a bracket going from losers |
8557s | to uppers it is a Monumental task that |
8561s | mville will have to accomplish so I will |
8563s | be going for Northwood besides the fact |
8566s | that it is just the dynasty that |
8568s | continues their legacy here within the |
8572s | crl Northwood versus mville both |
8575s | carrying the Torches of their respective |
8578s | regions and with it these are the best |
8582s | Collegiate players that we have to offer |
8584s | Northwood versus mville the absolute |
8587s | Pinnacle of crl this is their legacy |
8591s | this is their future and this is cleance |
8596s | rocket |
8598s | League oh Foos and Li will new this is |
8602s | the best of seven hello everyone my name |
8604s | is oant and I'm in the booth and I'm |
8606s | being joined by the resident genius |
8608s | danger taco and taco how are you feeling |
8610s | right now okay let's slow down on genius |
8612s | until I get a prediction right today |
8614s | because right now it's been a long while |
8616s | since I've been on a CLE stream and |
8617s | actually been struggling here but I feel |
8619s | like that's because match Up's been a |
8621s | little Topsy Turvy seeds getting upset |
8623s | we have Northwood going from the bottom |
8625s | here on the lower bracket but they might |
8627s | be able to find their path to the |
8629s | promised land getting another win here |
8631s | in another Collegiate event but of |
8633s | course mville the strongest they've ever |
8635s | looked and almost the fastest they've |
8636s | ever scored yeah what could it be what |
8639s | can it actually say for the entire crl |
8641s | if Mayville came out and won this in the |
8643s | sweep or didn't even force a bracket |
8645s | reset from Northwood side would that be |
8647s | putting everyone on notice you think I |
8649s | think this is very much a statement game |
8650s | from mville It's a situation in which |
8652s | everybody seeds northw first in the |
8654s | overall brackets and all the qualifiers |
8657s | and everyone really just says well yeah |
8659s | they really haven't entered too many of |
8661s | the quote unquote offseason tournaments |
8662s | or I guess in this sense pre-season for |
8665s | the fall tournaments so therefore we |
8667s | don't know how they're going to perform |
8668s | but we know they're going to play well |
8669s | well here they are in a grand final but |
8670s | they're playing against a team that |
8672s | dropped them without them even getting a |
8673s | single win I mean that has to be |
8675s | energizing for players like this they're |
8677s | not used to failure and I'm sure that's |
8679s | not a feeling they ever want to feel |
8680s | again which is why cream is trying to |
8682s | set up a crazy pass down but not getting |
8684s | the bounce out he might have been |
8685s | looking for yeah I love the fact they're |
8687s | trying to do the Creative moves right |
8688s | now towards gold and there's no time to |
8690s | do things right down Broad Street if you |
8692s | know your opponent's on a certain kind |
8694s | of level let's see if creativity will |
8696s | win the day here still no score in that |
8698s | first game but I know that's not going |
8699s | to be the case for too long particularly |
8702s | if Kem has his way he's trying to dish |
8704s | that one across night read that he was |
8705s | trying to go underneath maybe go take it |
8707s | alongside the wall that one going well |
8709s | wide from hockey means that speed should |
8710s | be able to take over pinch to creams is |
8712s | going to be red zenil not a for but |
8714s | Knight has no boost I don't think either |
8715s | of them know just how much they're |
8717s | staring down at each other little bit of |
8718s | a standoff from time to time with these |
8720s | players so much respect for the |
8722s | mechanics on display yeah I like the |
8724s | idea of the respect you kind of like hey |
8726s | man stop doing that it's like watching |
8727s | one of those like animes where you're |
8729s | watching someone change and transform |
8731s | it's like just punch him |
8733s | already well sometimes you can't just |
8735s | dive in there because otherwise you're |
8736s | just going to get an energy beam right |
8737s | to the face and that's not what you need |
8739s | especially in a grand final but Knight |
8740s | is trying to power up right there but no |
8742s | energy blast quite yet maybe relating |
8744s | wave can dish it back in the middle but |
8746s | no target really to be found Knight is |
8747s | all the way back speed is going to have |
8749s | to join him there as he's going to be |
8750s | able to get that first possession but |
8752s | wheels back around and gets on his horse |
8754s | with Knight in support trying to provide |
8756s | that middle assist and yet hocky going |
8759s | in with an off camera demo and that demo |
8761s | play to get all these players waiting |
8763s | for those passes probably the best way |
8764s | to disrupt any of these passing Lanes |
8766s | yeah absolutely both teams are been |
8768s | incredibly strong on the walls in the |
8770s | mid pitch I do feel like if you want to |
8772s | advance that ball you have to go right |
8774s | up down the middle and that could have |
8775s | been an opportunity there so I |
8777s | understand that you want to be able to |
8779s | use geometry to your advantage with the |
8780s | walls may not be to your advantage |
8782s | because teams are always there and |
8784s | hockey scores right on the button and |
8787s | really like do like this zenil watch him |
8788s | on the left side of the screen comes |
8790s | peeling across gets a bump on Knight |
8792s | hockey is right there it's well calmed |
8794s | and only so much marville can do about |
8797s | that one Northwood just trying to stay |
8799s | resilient often times the goals in these |
8801s | games are never going to come from the |
8802s | first effort it's from the repeated |
8804s | follow-ups that eventually will break |
8805s | down through these walls yes opportunely |
8807s | if you're Northwood right now it's very |
8809s | easy to look about what you have to do |
8811s | you got to win four games now then four |
8813s | games later but you got to put one |
8815s | scoring Drive in front of the other and |
8817s | not think about that quite yet you have |
8819s | one goal on but you're against a team |
8821s | that's very very appropo of scoring |
8823s | early and often or late and often in |
8825s | deep ring of games speed no hesitation |
8828s | on that challenge will take that away |
8829s | from hockey But Here Comes the second |
8831s | problem zenil gets a decent enough start |
8834s | up trying to bump relating wave this |
8835s | relating wave just gives him a stiff arm |
8837s | kind of propels him away from him able |
8839s | to get the first clear but they going to |
8841s | need more than that Northwood I think a |
8843s | deliberate strategy from them is |
8844s | watching how much they're cutting in |
8845s | front of the rotation from marville pre |
8848s | jumping all these air dribbles making |
8849s | sure that if you want to get out you're |
8850s | going to have to try a little harder |
8852s | than that yeah I like the idea here |
8854s | usually you would say that's kind of uh |
8855s | dangerous to do so but being able to cut |
8857s | off these offensive counterattacks at |
8859s | the past really puts the pressure on for |
8861s | Northwood onto marville and you force |
8864s | mistakes quite like that Z nil makes it |
8866s | 2N you can almost see the loading Circle |
8868s | above speed's head on this one thinking |
8870s | okay how much do I have to back up I |
8871s | should probably just jump for that |
8872s | should I flip early I think I probably |
8874s | have that and by the time he actually |
8875s | loaded that fully in his third eye that |
8877s | one's going to be going into the top |
8879s | Corner unfortunately off his own car it |
8882s | was on target but one of those awkward |
8884s | moments where just putting the ball in |
8885s | an awkward situation can make the |
8886s | defense a little squirrly that's |
8888s | definitely true a lot of times people |
8889s | say what does it mean to be creative |
8891s | when you're playing rocket League I say |
8893s | put the ball on frame and let your |
8894s | defense figure it out and that's exactly |
8896s | what happened there speed didn't have |
8897s | the answer and that's why that score |
8899s | line is doubl you can't rely those all |
8901s | the time but it's going to have that |
8903s | your back of Tricks well anyone is |
8905s | wondering if marville is here to play |
8907s | with Northwood I think the more apt |
8910s | question is whether Northwood learned |
8911s | from that last series they are not |
8913s | leaving this mville goal alone and right |
8915s | now the defense getting a workout not |
8917s | too many saves to be had but mainly just |
8919s | because Northwood trying to take laps |
8920s | around this half and part of it all |
8922s | these strong 50s love that one from |
8924s | hockey might have opened things up for |
8925s | creams or now zenil on the follow |
8927s | through Ling wave keeping his eye on the |
8929s | prize not letting go of that read |
8931s | despite all the bodies flying through |
8932s | his camera yeah this is something that's |
8935s | good visual image there something I |
8937s | didn't think that anyone was going to |
8938s | see coming it's a two M domination on |
8941s | possession and on the coverage on the |
8943s | pitch I thought for sure it would be |
8945s | more of a tip fortat situation but |
8947s | either way if the score line holds it'll |
8949s | be one game with the authority and it |
8951s | doesn't hold there taco i c curse |
8954s | everything it's not two to one well we |
8956s | just didn't expect hockey to go for this |
8957s | and then K's very late on that not sure |
8959s | what the C situation May hock didn't |
8961s | believe that he actually get the away in |
8963s | the way that he wanted to but certainly |
8965s | that bounce worked favorably for Speed |
8966s | he's going to make M on this and now |
8969s | maybe some kickoff trickery that's a |
8970s | hard cheat up but relating W gets almost |
8972s | a Spanish on the demo not going to help |
8974s | anything creams heroically Dives on in |
8976s | for 5050 to take it to the far side yeah |
8978s | these are definitely those small ball |
8979s | situations we trying to figure out how a |
8981s | team's going to be making up with they |
8982s | going to go for another goal or they're |
8984s | trying to park the bus and that was an |
8985s | aggressive for everyone good thing they |
8987s | had the defense there locked in it's two |
8989s | to one with the last seconds to go go |
8990s | here night and speed both get leaving |
8993s | the ball as a miscommunication comes in |
8996s | there's no boost to be had and |
8998s | mercifully for Northwood that will hit |
9001s | the turf a chance maybe thrown out the |
9003s | window but a goal line save seconds |
9006s | prior is the only reason this is not at |
9008s | OT yeah it's a 2-1 score line but I mean |
9011s | to be honest with you the first four |
9012s | minutes and 25 seconds were all |
9014s | Northwood being able to control |
9015s | possession and the pace of play which is |
9018s | super important put two goals up and Mar |
9020s | didn't have the answer to force that |
9022s | overtime that's such a awkward situation |
9025s | but speaking of awkward that getting a |
9027s | bump on the backboard is see the replay |
9029s | package Cil making things weird mville |
9031s | getting temporary touches away but |
9033s | notice how often mville is just put in a |
9035s | situation where it feels like the thumbs |
9036s | are tied they're not able to use the |
9038s | left stick to be able to maneuver get |
9040s | these saves and I think at a certain |
9041s | point you can get goals against |
9043s | Northwood but they're going to have to |
9044s | come at a premium just like that last |
9046s | save speed looking like they had a |
9048s | guaranteed goal and then getting the |
9050s | happiness just snatched away yeah if |
9052s | you're in mville your defensive |
9053s | formation is actually not that bad not |
9055s | you're playing out of position but you |
9056s | got to understand to fortify both the |
9058s | far post and the near post a lot of |
9060s | those shots attempts are not coming down |
9062s | the middle they're coming on the end the |
9063s | wings if you will you lock that down you |
9066s | give yourself a chance with the |
9067s | Counterattack being able to prevent |
9070s | those counterattacks is really the art I |
9071s | think of a high level rotation |
9072s | especially from Northwood they're doing |
9073s | very well at finding that balance |
9075s | between making sure they're getting |
9076s | their shots off stealing boosts |
9077s | occasionally if someone is slowed down |
9079s | on mville they're waiting for a touch |
9080s | demo them out of the way even if you |
9082s | don't get immediate possession it forces |
9083s | mville to panic get the ball cleared and |
9086s | ultimately give up that possession I |
9087s | think marville somewhat got wise that |
9089s | strategy hence their immediate goal and |
9091s | then or so the confidence to be able to |
9093s | end out that game but got to start off a |
9096s | lot stronger you do not want to be in a |
9097s | comeback situation against the wolf pack |
9100s | yeah that can't be underst understanded |
9101s | enough in tournament play especially |
9103s | when they have double elimination you do |
9104s | see some of the formations and some of |
9107s | the strategies of your team multiple |
9108s | times and it comes down to whether not |
9110s | you have an antidote or a countermeasure |
9112s | for that or you have something special |
9114s | on your own end speed trying to do that |
9117s | special off the double for the ceiling |
9119s | not going to work so relating wave will |
9120s | try to pick up that top corner with |
9122s | speed in support Knight weak shot means |
9124s | hockey is just going to clamp that one |
9126s | all the way back down for relating wave |
9128s | to catch and somewhat uh testing touches |
9131s | coming in so far and not really anything |
9133s | too conrete creams likewise forced him |
9136s | to just kind of That Awkward sidewall |
9138s | double try to keep this attack alive |
9140s | yeah this one here is kind of that ping |
9141s | pong action in the corner I had worried |
9143s | about Corner attacks the first time |
9145s | these two team met but I do think a lot |
9147s | of that's going to be the same and that |
9148s | was a shot right down the middle but |
9150s | speed clears it away and so yeah those |
9152s | Corner attacks are not really going to |
9153s | benefit anyone if I were them I would |
9155s | try to say away from the edges and give |
9157s | the opportunity it's also what these |
9159s | players understand sometimes when the |
9160s | ball is in the corner all you got to do |
9161s | is just be able to take a slow 50 you |
9163s | don't always have to travel a million |
9164s | mph cuz that's where deflection happens |
9166s | that's where counterattacks happen |
9167s | hockey is very close to getting a top |
9169s | Corner same with |
9170s | he's going to put it back and Knight |
9172s | will be able to escort that one down the |
9174s | sideline not too much beyond that as |
9177s | everybody on marille has to catch their |
9178s | breath because it's still not over |
9180s | speed's got to be careful just getting |
9182s | that one around hockey's dunk relating |
9184s | wave did the Lords work coming across |
9187s | the wide side of it and making sure that |
9190s | was not going to be the first goal of |
9191s | the game props to him for that not sure |
9193s | how they have with them but that one |
9195s | there was an offensive uh a an amazing |
9198s | defensive effort |
9200s | AI guiding that one across speed knows |
9202s | that play is all his so long as he gets |
9204s | the flick off early and he does he even |
9206s | tags an Neil he's off balance but he |
9207s | will still get the save how about the |
9209s | second one hockey Taps that not only |
9212s | away from the gold but enough that he |
9213s | can extend it here comes creams nobody |
9216s | on that backboard is this the punishment |
9219s | the accuracy is not there but the fact |
9221s | that he even got it that close is |
9223s | something yeah that right there is what |
9224s | you call a faint right you show your |
9226s | opponent hey look we beat you there we |
9228s | didn't really score but you give us more |
9230s | time and more space next time it won't |
9232s | be a miss and wow on the buttons zil |
9235s | breaks the deadlock this time again for |
9237s | Northwood blue look at this one here |
9238s | Taco using the wall to your advantage |
9240s | bringing it down classic that's a player |
9242s | that knows his angles though zenil goes |
9244s | in completely flat even leaning back to |
9246s | let the hit the belly of the car mainly |
9247s | just because he knows that speed is |
9249s | going to be taking that 50 and there's |
9251s | only one place to go with that you try |
9253s | to escort the side wall but the more you |
9255s | try to push to left or right the more |
9256s | you're risking it might just go straight |
9258s | by you and inadvertently he kind of lead |
9260s | to his own Doom there was not ready for |
9262s | the angle that that took again Northwood |
9264s | out thinking their opponents as much as |
9265s | just out mecking them yeah I think |
9267s | that's the most important thing about |
9268s | Northwood we talked about good and great |
9270s | teams like they have a bunch of |
9271s | strategies but they don't really stick |
9273s | with one or two they adapt to their |
9275s | opponents they find something that works |
9276s | for them they know that marville beat |
9278s | them on the speed they beat them on the |
9279s | run and so they really much have cut |
9281s | them off at a pass in that mid pitch and |
9283s | on the walls to really make uh marville |
9286s | triy plan C's and D's and those are |
9288s | never effective that's why they're C's |
9289s | and |
9290s | that's why they have the lead right now |
9292s | improvisation really what makes this |
9294s | game so beautiful but the thing is yeah |
9296s | you do want to make some plans and lay |
9298s | them into implementation but right now |
9300s | it looks like mville is just trying to |
9302s | find a foothold to be able to even get a |
9303s | quality shot that one from nice's just |
9305s | going to be reach he's going to use it |
9306s | to try to steal that boost but instead |
9308s | speed's going to take it from him zenil |
9309s | fully boosted up in the ceiling he's |
9310s | going to have to use some of it as |
9312s | relating wave was dive bombing on this |
9314s | one same with Knight looking for a |
9315s | double he can't get his speed can 1 yeah |
9319s | just about to have the in my notes so |
9321s | the backboard pretty much a non-issue |
9323s | the wings pretty much a non-issue so if |
9325s | you're merville you got to put something |
9327s | right in the middle and that was closest |
9329s | thing you can to the middle hit the bar |
9330s | the crossbar on the way in but you do |
9332s | those shots on frame that's your only |
9334s | bet really to beat that North Blue |
9337s | defense speed able to find Knight pass |
9341s | middle On Target again almost |
9343s | reminiscent of the creams double tap |
9345s | that he was trying earlier just skims by |
9347s | that back post and it's just that close |
9349s | you need need to be able to place those |
9351s | a little bit better you need to rotate |
9352s | quickly if you're on defense cuz zil |
9354s | only has the first touch he does not |
9356s | have the second Knight going to be |
9357s | quickly turning leaving it for relating |
9359s | wave creams completely out and yet wave |
9361s | did not have the Boost to be able to get |
9363s | to that one yeah definitely seems like a |
9365s | different kind of mville not being able |
9367s | to see the re with need be I wonder if |
9369s | the layoff in the tournament start to |
9370s | affect them they don't seem nearly as |
9372s | sharp as they did the last time the two |
9373s | te me Knight quickly up speed |
9376s | potentially a Target but instead he's |
9377s | going to call his own number I don't |
9379s | mind that one particularly with wave on |
9381s | the side wall think he might have wanted |
9382s | to pass to him but with no boost kind of |
9385s | hard to be able to implement that in the |
9387s | moment so there for zil looking for some |
9389s | Revenge he was made to look a fool on |
9390s | defense earlier on that last attack and |
9393s | yet sometimes it does come down to just |
9395s | taking crucial 50s this time in the air |
9397s | in front of the goal and both mville and |
9399s | Northwood for the most part handling it |
9401s | well yeah I think everyone's kind of |
9403s | playing through gritted teeth and |
9405s | clenched eyes right now that ball just |
9407s | been loose right in front of the gold |
9408s | mouth and that was cl again by speed it |
9410s | is getting dicey out there |
9413s | Taco now it's really down to really who |
9415s | wants to be able to make a difference |
9417s | maybe it's Knight maybe it's speed or |
9419s | it's the third relating wave from the |
9421s | corner no double two players commit one |
9424s | gets it and that's going to bounce |
9425s | straight up in the air only Knight can |
9427s | get it creams is out hockey has some |
9429s | boost but not enough to help apparently |
9432s | none needed no option available we'll |
9435s | take a Turf hit and we'll take another |
9436s | OT yeah we're saying that before that |
9439s | none of these teams want to see an |
9440s | overtime situation how a game could be |
9443s | up perilously down to one mistake or one |
9445s | shot on frame but if there's any way to |
9447s | get mville back into the game here's the |
9449s | situation for them they got to do |
9451s | something quickly here oh just off |
9453s | Target speed actually almost beats out |
9455s | two players but zenil evens a score line |
9457s | no Counterattack when a relating wave |
9459s | has been demoed B on the near post |
9461s | creams looking for a double speed has it |
9463s | in the way Z Neil fully boosted up goes |
9465s | for the shot not the accuracy he's |
9467s | looking for right into the turf took all |
9469s | the pace out yeah D we don't do a bounce |
9472s | pass you got to do something on the |
9473s | Target on the button with a little bit |
9475s | of force I bet zil want to have another |
9477s | opportunity of give the opportunity to |
9478s | do that speed tucked underneath the Neal |
9482s | goal line heroics not going to be enough |
9485s | accuracy will win out and mville tying |
9489s | up our grand final I don't know if it |
9491s | was a finesse jumble or fumble either |
9494s | way the goal was on target not only a |
9496s | minute has gone by in an overtime period |
9498s | and marville ties up the series tally |
9501s | also have to keep in mind that's what |
9503s | confidence breathes going back into |
9506s | defense Northwood had a decent amount of |
9507s | boost to be able to cover that one speed |
9509s | had all but 30 and just went in a |
9511s | straight line leaned back at the correct |
9513s | angle and picked his spot to Perfection |
9516s | Northwood has played well but looks like |
9518s | mville they have caught up they have |
9520s | become wise to how this game needs to be |
9523s | played and what a performance by speed |
9525s | two goals four saves trying to do it all |
9527s | for his Squad yeah absolutely and do it |
9529s | all they did like I was saying before |
9531s | about the layoff and tournament play |
9532s | northw Blue has a closing window to get |
9535s | some games onto their scoring account |
9538s | and this one the second game could have |
9540s | been theirs as equally or as easily as |
9542s | we thought it would be but mville is now |
9544s | on the board that changes the dynamic |
9547s | what does northw blue have planned for |
9548s | game number three I think for the one |
9550s | thing uh just being able to get away |
9552s | from the emulation of mville exact same |
9554s | saves exact same number of shots for |
9556s | both squads so clearly they're both |
9558s | having those looks but I think it really |
9559s | does come down to those individual |
9561s | moments I don't want to blame everything |
9563s | on zenil cuz after all he did have one |
9564s | of the goals for Northwood but that last |
9567s | shot perfect lob off the backboard by |
9569s | creams it's all zenil yes he has three |
9571s | Defenders to beat but if you hit that |
9573s | hard enough if you hit it at least |
9574s | somewhere near the side netting that's |
9576s | most likely going to be a goal and |
9577s | instead he leans a little bit too far |
9579s | over it it goes straight down Knight |
9581s | gets a clear it's moments like that that |
9582s | if you say well that could have gone |
9584s | differently but ultimately all losses |
9586s | are going to stem from a multitude of |
9588s | different mistakes and missed |
9589s | opportunities they're going to have to |
9590s | hope they tighten things up do not want |
9592s | to drop another game and a heartbreaker |
9594s | like that as we head to DF absolutely |
9596s | here is my lukew prediction the team |
9598s | with the less number of carriers will |
9600s | going be the one to win this one out but |
9602s | will it be mville or will it be |
9604s | Northwood that remains to be seen well |
9607s | certainly a player that's been |
9608s | relatively quiet is relating wave he has |
9611s | somewhat just kind of played that |
9612s | midfielder role somewhat just enabling |
9614s | Knight and speed to be able to move on |
9616s | into their offense because doing it |
9618s | really well there's two almost combined |
9620s | for a nice pass in that top shelf but |
9622s | instead going to be denied KN great turn |
9624s | but zenil it was straight at him yeah |
9626s | absolutely I mean you were saying about |
9628s | relating wave and being able to be that |
9630s | last one even if you do a high line has |
9632s | its advantages now you can put the |
9633s | pressure on on the offensive attack but |
9635s | you're right you pretty much go quiet |
9637s | cuz you don't get points for bumps and |
9638s | demos and it kind of feels you're not |
9640s | contributing the question I have now for |
9642s | relating wave is can he convert those |
9644s | opportunities when you stop North Blue |
9646s | convert those into offensive chances |
9648s | that remains to be SE |
9651s | KN with the backboard read or rather |
9653s | backward read is a rare moment where |
9655s | he's not on the backboard but he is |
9657s | hitting it on to Northwoods seil the |
9659s | back flip I don't know how you teach |
9661s | that reaction time or even just be born |
9663s | blessed with it but seil uses it to its |
9665s | full effect somehow robbing mville from |
9668s | the goad zenil has those intangibles I |
9671s | know it hasn't been said enough but cr's |
9673s | got the score here but zenil has been |
9675s | able just to be such a a threat when it |
9678s | comes to reaction time is giving the |
9680s | teammates opportunities like that that's |
9682s | a tough one too the demo of course takes |
9683s | away that last line of defense and the |
9685s | middle after that one aerial is going to |
9687s | be really able to disable most of |
9689s | amille's attempts there but I was |
9691s | passing it off I was not too concerned I |
9693s | thought Knight was able to get back to |
9694s | it but one of those rare moments where |
9696s | yeah you can talk about strategy all you |
9697s | want but if you see an opening in the |
9699s | back field and you can just smack it |
9700s | hard enough to get it on target then you |
9701s | might as well take that opportunity yeah |
9703s | absolutely getting back there is half |
9705s | the battle but the other half is |
9706s | actually being effective sometimes you |
9708s | don't get both halves at the same go |
9711s | going to see KS trying to lay that one |
9713s | forward for hockey speed will be able to |
9715s | see that one coming so Neil likewise |
9717s | just going to lob that one forward a lot |
9719s | of these higher lobs as the game goes on |
9721s | are just trying to buy time for your |
9722s | teammates reset your position get your |
9724s | Boost and hopefully survive the assault |
9726s | because there's one player from |
9727s | Northwood off the field leaves an |
9729s | opening for Knight now speed if he wants |
9731s | it however who trusts Anil to get that |
9733s | clear and what do you know he is |
9734s | rewarded for that F yeah absolutely you |
9736s | talking about the lobs I think a lot of |
9738s | that too beid seeing what your next |
9740s | option is going to be is Will to draw |
9742s | the defense to see if you can do a wide |
9743s | pass outbound inbound or take it |
9745s | yourself and I do think it's a little |
9747s | bit of that susing out period which is |
9749s | something we see in game one to see it |
9750s | so late in the series says that both |
9752s | these teams haven't really figured out |
9753s | the formula they want to use take him to |
9755s | the promised land relating takes it off |
9758s | of speed's hand and that could not be |
9760s | any closer without being post and in and |
9763s | now on the Comedia counter speed trying |
9765s | to make up for it as he missed that |
9766s | first effort will get the save away |
9768s | zenil double lading wave he's not fast |
9770s | enough Kareem certainly is there's |
9772s | another one for him and his Squad yeah |
9775s | this is the first one I really felt that |
9776s | was all North with how they drew it up |
9778s | it was aggressive in the air being able |
9780s | to take it off the Angles and it was a |
9782s | shot down the middle that was textbook |
9784s | from them and that's why that score line |
9786s | is 2 |
9787s | N comes down to sometimes you just think |
9790s | those innocent touches well we try to |
9791s | read it off the sidewall and maybe try |
9793s | to get a 50 I didn't quite read that one |
9794s | and then Northwood just jumps right on |
9796s | it they have so much faith in each other |
9798s | and sometimes it could be your downfall |
9799s | you have too much trust you're able to |
9801s | dive in on stuff that you think someone |
9802s | has but when they are clicking Northwood |
9805s | is so difficult to defend against |
9806s | because of situations like that last |
9808s | goal creams not like this I'm trying to |
9810s | talk about your strategy in reality |
9812s | you're just hard reading yeah exactly |
9814s | you can talk about all the technical |
9816s | prowers you want but nothing beats a |
9818s | battering ram no one was back to take |
9820s | that in there and now that's three goals |
9822s | up three goals unanswered rare Miss |
9825s | there from relating wave trying to get |
9826s | that quick flick trying to side flip it |
9827s | just to keep it a little bit lower so he |
9829s | could maybe play for a second t comes in |
9832s | and from bad to worse forville weird |
9834s | enough if you have any situation which |
9836s | you want to fall behind at least You' |
9837s | get those goals out of the way early so |
9839s | you can mount a comeback potentially in |
9841s | the final 2 minutes already in the crl |
9843s | open we had a four goal comeback a |
9845s | little bit off Stream So C anything is |
9847s | possible but it's one thing to do it |
9849s | against a random team in the middle of |
9850s | the bracket it's a whole other thing to |
9852s | do do it against a team that has been to |
9853s | the mountain top so many times also |
9856s | because of plays like that creams |
9858s | expertly Cuts in front yeah it makes you |
9860s | wonder about the idea of a double |
9861s | elimination tournament Northwood known |
9863s | they don't have any more lives left sort |
9865s | of speaking the pedigree maybe that's a |
9868s | little bit of an edge they need right |
9869s | now because if this would hold they will |
9872s | be one more game ahead close enough to |
9874s | that bracket |
9875s | reset again just as a reminder this is a |
9878s | situation which marville wins and it is |
9879s | all over in the series Northwood has to |
9881s | win twice and for them they have to be |
9883s | feeling somewhat confident at least in |
9884s | games like this some of them might get |
9886s | away from them but for the most part it |
9887s | has been close really they first time |
9889s | where I feel like this game has really |
9891s | gotten off the rails for marville |
9893s | despite again tying in shots with |
9895s | Northwood just one side far more |
9897s | efficient yeah the efficiency is going |
9899s | to be the B or C story line here because |
9902s | you can have all the opportunities in |
9903s | the world with you can't slot them in |
9905s | when need be that may be the difference |
9907s | between wins losses and bracket resets I |
9909s | don't want to say Doom and Gloom we want |
9910s | to cast curse anybody but something has |
9912s | to fundamentally change in that marille |
9915s | attack greens at this point is doing |
9917s | some good old fashioned stat padding I |
9919s | don't really think it's going to dictate |
9920s | too much about how this one is going to |
9922s | end up but I would know if mville would |
9924s | love to have some momentum going into |
9926s | the next game I don't think they're |
9927s | going to get it here all of the players |
9929s | are rotating back and now trying to use |
9931s | that boost they've gathered hockey |
9932s | perfectly read speed tries to get the |
9934s | pass middle and like most other things |
9936s | by marville it's just not really working |
9938s | out yeah it's unfortunate to see |
9940s | something like this and I would say well |
9942s | some things that worked for you is being |
9944s | your aggressive nature but you can't win |
9946s | if you don't score and I'm not saying |
9948s | you're quite at serious point point |
9949s | right now but something does have to be |
9952s | used differently or executed differently |
9954s | in the next one Northwood will be able |
9956s | to finally tap this one down and bring |
9960s | this segment of the series to a close as |
9963s | we'll be able to have another Victory an |
9964s | important one for them as they will be |
9967s | able to take the lead in the series |
9969s | halfway to their first of two required |
9971s | to be able to take this Grand finals and |
9973s | it it's a really streaky series it feels |
9975s | like there's some games where it's back |
9977s | and forth but Northwood they Creak open |
9979s | that door a little bit you give them |
9980s | that inch and they just blow right |
9982s | through you yeah creams will get the |
9984s | credit for having the hatti but hockey |
9986s | has been an absolute goon right just |
9988s | stopping in front of people's offensive |
9989s | runs dropping the bumps and demos when |
9991s | needed really putting marfield in that |
9993s | confusion frustration mode that right |
9996s | there will get you the Novant medal if |
9998s | that was actually something of value I |
10000s | mean maybe it'll pop up in the future |
10001s | that's going to be aame should it should |
10003s | yeah it's something it's hard to measure |
10004s | at times so maybe we just have to talk |
10006s | to Dev team and they can figure that out |
10007s | because I would love some more Devon |
10009s | medals across or at least some more gold |
10012s | medals coming through from both sides a |
10013s | shut out from mville kind of frustrating |
10015s | situation especially because if you're |
10017s | in the game and you lose at least if |
10018s | you're putting on shots and putting on |
10020s | good offense I think you're starting to |
10021s | cook you're starting to have more |
10022s | confidence in what you're trying to |
10024s | enable but this was the rare moment |
10026s | where they didn't really have any answer |
10028s | to it for Northwood I think that's |
10029s | exactly what they're looking for they |
10031s | get back into the Rhythm and say all |
10032s | right now we just have to replicate this |
10034s | one we're not being able to fool around |
10036s | anymore we know what we have to expect |
10037s | and also respect coming out from our |
10039s | opponents we just have to try and emate |
10041s | that again as we head over to Utopia in |
10043s | the desk yeah you know I always I said |
10045s | about a game ago about taking a one game |
10047s | at a time but I also also know if you're |
10049s | in the lower bracket there's a little |
10051s | bit of that edging your shoulder chiping |
10052s | your shoulder to say six more five more |
10054s | four more I think Northwood blue is |
10056s | rocking on that level right |
10058s | now 5 minutes back on the clock trying |
10062s | to reset everything is mville and |
10065s | sometimes it does feel like you're |
10066s | trying to solve a different equation |
10067s | every single time Northwood always seems |
10069s | to have the answer to any team that they |
10071s | play and relating wave seemingly going |
10073s | through that Gambit and finding the |
10075s | correct save near post being able to |
10077s | depr zil of a banger right in the top |
10078s | Corner yeah that Banger would have said |
10081s | a lot about what this game was going to |
10083s | be angles wouldn't work out for them |
10084s | that time but if you're in mville I |
10087s | would say this is a problem we saw in |
10088s | that last game just giving up on that |
10090s | third line |
10092s | defense and keeping things awkward as |
10094s | well for mville I like that f up from |
10095s | Ling wave being able to pop that up got |
10098s | the temporary suspension it's why he's |
10099s | all the way back now and apparently now |
10102s | in the scrap Heap creams open air |
10104s | dribble trying to bait in relating wave |
10105s | and he will take that bait and rip it |
10107s | right off the hook yeah I like taking |
10109s | bait why not this because I know your |
10111s | plan is I go for it doesn't mean you won |
10113s | right so the idea is now can I have that |
10115s | Brute Force to really take your idea and |
10117s | say to heck with it what a shot on |
10119s | frames clear Away by creams and again no |
10121s | score here about a minute to go but as I |
10123s | say that creams goes Coast to Coast |
10126s | that's a rough one it's almost like |
10127s | everybody's playing Zone coverage just |
10128s | trying to say I got the wall I've got |
10130s | the dribble and then say hey who has the |
10132s | backline creams again with that Vision |
10135s | he's always going to be able to find |
10136s | those shots he looks up and realizes I |
10138s | don't know why these two players are in |
10139s | front of me and not challenging but |
10140s | you're going to have to be uh I would |
10143s | say punished for that type of behavior |
10145s | because ultimately it's never going to |
10147s | end well for you same if hockey couldn't |
10149s | get to this one but of course he's able |
10151s | to get just a little bit of a bumper |
10153s | yeah I'm with you there I understand the |
10155s | the Mana car to car versus zone defense |
10157s | if you're going to use that thing from |
10158s | from football but there's always should |
10160s | be somebody on that back line that back |
10162s | third to really push up the line of need |
10164s | be didn't happen there complete |
10165s | defensive breakdown something you don't |
10167s | want so deep and a serious but this is |
10169s | why that Northwood as good as they are |
10171s | find a way to |
10173s | capitalize very much in the territory of |
10175s | what feels like a freebie goal and |
10177s | that's something that is painful to ever |
10179s | give up in any situation much less a |
10181s | grand final Knight trying to make amends |
10184s | that was not going to go in so therefore |
10186s | the relating way of trying to find a |
10187s | creative pass with three players on |
10189s | Northwood goal line speed decides |
10191s | playing the clear and now playing the |
10193s | backboard again is going to be his role |
10195s | hockey policing that one actually almost |
10197s | got the deflection middle as relating |
10198s | wave just desperately trying to stay in |
10200s | front yeah relating wave with a full |
10202s | stretch probably wasn't the best |
10203s | defensive option and that could have |
10205s | been an no go for the ages but |
10207s | thankfully they clear that out but I |
10209s | understand sometimes you realize look we |
10210s | got to go the full stretch to get that |
10212s | clear to give it the chance to score but |
10213s | almost scoring on your own goal isn't |
10215s | the uh plan a they thought it would |
10219s | a rare skim by same with hockey that |
10221s | might have been on purpose to slow |
10222s | things down but we'll never really know |
10224s | as we talk these players potentially in |
10226s | an interview in the future but never |
10228s | mind that a rare Miss is going to be |
10230s | calculated or not now it's up to actual |
10232s | getting back to the basics trying to |
10234s | actually fake in a player if your speed |
10236s | and maybe get the fou 50 no boost but |
10238s | none needed everyone's going to be |
10239s | backing up and then try to pre jump |
10241s | zenil not going to quite reach it so |
10242s | zenil keeps on carrying it but I like |
10244s | the courage being shown by mville to try |
10246s | to address these early challenges yeah |
10249s | shouts of Courage right cuz I don't play |
10250s | with courage at all I just go for the |
10252s | long bomb and boom and this is why I'm |
10254s | Diamond too but that's besides the point |
10255s | there Taco sometimes you're really got |
10257s | to be bold for a chance to put something |
10258s | on the frame and that could have been on |
10260s | the frame but it's clear away again by |
10261s | zenil one of those moments where you |
10263s | just got to start hanging your head |
10264s | after every single shot how is it not in |
10266s | yet zenil another glorious goal line |
10269s | save even in the ones that eventually go |
10271s | in it seems like he has a hand and at |
10272s | least getting near them every time |
10274s | marville approaches the goal although |
10276s | there's no designated goalies in rocket |
10278s | League it's good to Northwood as a |
10280s | quality one in zil yeah absolutely look |
10282s | you got the series momentum and you have |
10285s | the lead why not wait till the balls |
10287s | come to you quite like that score Line |
10289s | is now double creams makes it two n |
10291s | correlating wave of he was playing for |
10293s | the pace is trying to beat out zenil on |
10294s | this one playing for a 50 if anything |
10296s | but that is exactly why sometimes you |
10298s | have to slow down to take those 50s |
10300s | because if you play for a super hard |
10302s | read into the corner and it just gets |
10304s | deflected clear by you it's going to be |
10305s | a perfect pass in for creams and that |
10307s | speed is going to be way too fast for |
10309s | any Defender to deal with 20 potentially |
10312s | the game to put Northwood on to match |
10314s | point in the first of two series |
10317s | required to win this Grand finals and |
10319s | this is where cruise control Northwood |
10321s | really starts to rear its head and be a |
10323s | frightening sight yeah I'll be honest |
10325s | with you how many times have we said |
10326s | creams havep passed the defense and |
10327s | they're last man back after splitting |
10330s | one or two Defenders I mean that is |
10331s | something that teams really struggle to |
10333s | have an answer for we thought mville did |
10336s | this first go around but as this first |
10338s | series goes now the grand finals it |
10340s | looks like that's not the |
10341s | case I I was really about to ready up my |
10344s | notes and say well okay there's at least |
10346s | one back but no it's going to be dunked |
10348s | down into the bar saved away and then |
10351s | they're just going to have to try to do |
10353s | something nutty how about a double tap |
10355s | relating wave given some Faith to the |
10357s | mville people in chat yeah sometimes you |
10360s | got to St behind the piano let know |
10362s | people what you're all about relating |
10364s | waves really being the garbage man that |
10366s | second or third option decides to come |
10367s | on up and put the lead in have is very |
10370s | critical for them my goodness I'm glad |
10373s | they got at least something at a certain |
10374s | point it gets it's comedic but then |
10376s | after a while it just starts to be |
10377s | devastating when you can't quite find |
10380s | the read but he can generate a triple |
10382s | commit speed right into Neil as usual |
10385s | again the goalkeeper Ro fitting him |
10388s | nicely but now his other teammates need |
10390s | to step up as well because he need to |
10391s | stop Knight deflection right to speed |
10394s | open on the backboard except for hockey |
10396s | expertly escorted to the corner to be |
10398s | able to potentially close this game out |
10401s | yeah final moments here you got to play |
10402s | Keep wave why not have that ball on the |
10405s | air put it on the ground for as long as |
10406s | it can bling wave going to be able to |
10409s | get that 50 which does keep everything |
10411s | alive speed pass Middle High lob that's |
10413s | over hockey but it's not passing Neil |
10415s | going to get the clear Knight trying to |
10417s | speed flip as fast as possible but it |
10419s | will still bounce Northwood taken yet |
10424s | another so before we went into this we |
10427s | said look with bracket resets North |
10429s | where blue has to win too if you're |
10431s | thinking about his game per game that's |
10433s | only five games magic number is now five |
10435s | I do think it's doable cuz the way |
10437s | they're playing it's just been |
10438s | exponentially greater as the series has |
10440s | rolled on and I have to say the one |
10443s | thing I keep saying about mville is |
10445s | you're giving free goals look at the |
10447s | saves on Northwood or at least hopefully |
10449s | you got them if your vision wasn't that |
10450s | quick or you're still scanning that is |
10453s | 10 saves in total from Northwood blue |
10455s | they were under pressure compared to the |
10457s | two from mville but when you're giving |
10458s | up two goals and you're not saving them |
10460s | it means they're wide open it means |
10461s | you're giving up open looks and that's |
10463s | where I feel like if mville can just |
10465s | address that everything is Rosy I think |
10468s | for them the play style is working |
10469s | albeit some awkward finishing but other |
10472s | than that I think they just need to take |
10473s | a deep breath and get back to basics |
10475s | absolutely call that slot machine |
10477s | pressure right you kind of think that |
10478s | you're going to hit that jackpot it |
10480s | doesn't happen and it opens you up for |
10481s | the Counterattack North Blue has been a |
10484s | wall on defense and so if you're not |
10486s | scoring the way you want to you got to |
10488s | think of something else and not wait for |
10490s | that ball to go the other way yeah |
10492s | particularly tilting are those types of |
10493s | Series where it feels like you're doing |
10495s | everything humanly possible but you're |
10497s | playing against an inhumanly talented |
10499s | team Northwood is the kings of crl for a |
10501s | reason they win a majority of events |
10504s | because they are simply that good they |
10505s | are so difficult to break down even when |
10507s | it feels like you have them on the Rope |
10508s | I mean count the number of goal line |
10510s | saves free jump saves coming in |
10511s | throughout this series alone but we can |
10514s | make a whole highlight re about their |
10515s | defense it's the offense that obviously |
10516s | wins them the games outscoring m they're |
10519s | going to need to find that fire in the |
10521s | pit of their stomachs to be able to |
10522s | propel them forward potentially we can |
10524s | go underwater to Aquadome for first game |
10527s | five here on the new map rotation yeah |
10530s | you know really the Aquadome combat |
10532s | story has to be studied right I thought |
10534s | it was like not going to be used ever |
10535s | again and then bang add some grass and |
10537s | it's back in the |
10539s | rotation and that's really all that's |
10541s | all people really say the players yearn |
10543s | for the grass fields even when it's in I |
10545s | guess a |
10546s | terrarium right right absolutely uh |
10549s | Again Farm sight over everyone so anyway |
10551s | 30 seconds lapse here still no score and |
10553s | now the pressure really is on marville |
10555s | to make sure they can force themselves |
10557s | uh a game six cuz they are at or I |
10560s | should say northw blue is at Ser point |
10561s | and so really they have The High |
10564s | Ground CR going to send that one deep KN |
10567s | with a brilliant catch should be able to |
10569s | get that one over to the ceiling as he |
10571s | tries to get the reset luckily relating |
10573s | wave is in comms able to get that boost |
10575s | steel and potentially move on forward |
10577s | but very wide rotations speed and Knight |
10579s | not able to get to it which means K is |
10581s | just going to Mosey on down the sideline |
10583s | again yeah the wide rotation is really |
10585s | uh giv me a bit of pause I'm not sure |
10587s | what the idea is at for is it really |
10589s | just to see or really slow down some |
10591s | shooting Lanes but I'm not sure if |
10593s | that's effective if the person with the |
10594s | ball has what a whole third unbothered |
10597s | before they decide to |
10598s | shoot it's difficult to be able to keep |
10601s | pressure all the time but really that's |
10602s | what separates the very best from the |
10605s | pretty good when you really are able to |
10607s | lock in keep someone near the ball |
10609s | someone back to defend always fueling up |
10611s | grabbing pads staying relevant to the |
10613s | play and mville is among the very best |
10615s | at that what when they're playing |
10616s | against Northwood I think they're |
10617s | starting to get in their own heads |
10618s | they're using a lot of boost they it's a |
10619s | very difficult team to keep up with |
10621s | unless you are all rotating taking turns |
10624s | and making sure you're fueling up maybe |
10625s | some demos could help as that's going to |
10627s | be creams out of the way pass down by |
10629s | speed thought maybe it was looking for |
10630s | relating wave but he decided to turn |
10632s | back instead yeah I got to say the brw |
10634s | starting strategy from Northwood blue is |
10637s | something we don't really talk about |
10638s | enough at the college level because hey |
10640s | you look at how fast marville was in |
10643s | other tournaments and other matchups you |
10645s | only see that kind of speed here this go |
10647s | round they won that first series early |
10649s | today in a bit of a SLO and this one |
10651s | here has pretty much exposed them as far |
10652s | as their lack of scoring progress here |
10654s | as of this juncture the pass was there |
10657s | but I just feel like the comms are a |
10658s | little bit off and don't tell me this is |
10660s | another open net zenil this time is |
10663s | going to be able to collect but it's |
10664s | everybody in marville just slowly |
10666s | chasing it across and leaving the back |
10668s | side open this is kind of the passes you |
10670s | dream about in rocket League getting one |
10672s | right up there sloted towards you just |
10674s | one tap in you get the credit and less |
10676s | effort give me more of those Northwood |
10678s | once again out in front yeah that's just |
10680s | pain for marville how many times have |
10682s | they been burnt by that not even off the |
10683s | kickoff they can get some relaxation |
10685s | that's hockey top shelfing it on no |
10687s | boost right at half timee and this is |
10690s | where you I suppose you dig deep but I |
10692s | don't know how much deeper they can dig |
10694s | it feels like marville just has no |
10695s | answers yeah absolutely when you have a |
10698s | go scor is super imperative to score |
10700s | your goals in bunches to put that |
10702s | psychological pressure on a team that's |
10704s | already struggling maraville looked like |
10706s | the stronger team going into this but |
10708s | right now they are fighting from |
10710s | underneath so Knight maybe trying to |
10712s | inspire something thing is he can do so |
10714s | much with 100 he can do only so much |
10716s | with about 50 that's where speed maybe |
10718s | can take over get some awkward 50s maybe |
10720s | getting a dunk there and there we go |
10722s | Knight sees an opening and he will take |
10724s | it how important is this for the morale |
10727s | of squad to say we are not done yet |
10730s | right this one here was a little bit of |
10731s | traffic but Knight just the bow roll |
10733s | maybe kind of on faith doesn't matter |
10736s | it's effective incredibly Well Done by |
10738s | speed and again just a low boost play |
10740s | it's a couple times now that we have |
10741s | seen a player be able to step up |
10743s | throughout our broadcast and be able to |
10745s | provide something beautiful for the next |
10747s | player in rotation also showing just the |
10749s | lack of solo play that we've really had |
10751s | except for maybe a cross field dunk off |
10753s | the near side relating wave still being |
10756s | kept mostly off the scoring sheet and by |
10758s | lack of effort maybe it's going to be |
10760s | speed that can make up for it but it |
10762s | can't get through the mess of bodies in |
10764s | the way man speed had the shot dead to |
10767s | right but it was cleared Away by Just |
10769s | Right the sheer number of traffic right |
10772s | there that could have been a whole |
10773s | different Wrinkle in this one here |
10775s | tacoing wave does get an early flick not |
10777s | able to take out creams which means from |
10779s | the ceiling he'll go same with Knight |
10780s | being able to Man mark that one fairly |
10782s | well with no boost he'll play for a 50 |
10784s | hockey new and still fake challenge |
10787s | nobody up from Northwood but they're all |
10788s | fueled up both PRS and zenil chilling at |
10790s | Hunter boost not using anything until |
10792s | they absolutely have to and therefore |
10794s | the first wave doesn't get it creams |
10795s | does in the second as it goes to the far |
10797s | side now it's one of the situation that |
10799s | if you're northw blue you know you can |
10800s | slow down the game as slow as you want |
10802s | to because it' be mville with the |
10804s | pressure to score but you know what |
10806s | going as fast as possible to put the |
10808s | hammer down that's also important the |
10811s | odds of this one it's so tough speed you |
10813s | have to jump on that one mainly because |
10815s | as soon as one person jumps off that's |
10817s | the one who's going to be able to win |
10818s | that challenge if they're both flushed |
10820s | to the wall and Northwood knew that one |
10822s | they're just trying to get in the way |
10823s | but they're going to get rewarded with |
10825s | yet another relative free goal as just |
10828s | kind of dances past everyone on mville |
10830s | goes into the open net and if that was |
10833s | already something that you can get |
10835s | tilted on it's a whole other thing to |
10836s | know that that might have cost you this |
10838s | first series one of your two lives you |
10840s | have in the upper bracket on this Grand |
10842s | Final of your merville kind of tickles |
10844s | me that hockey got the assist credit on |
10846s | that one it was almost not even the |
10850s | decision but as it stands right there |
10852s | Taco can you believe that though because |
10854s | again the the way marille won earlier |
10856s | today I thought this might be just a one |
10858s | go but Northwood was on that lower |
10860s | bracket revenge tour they've shown how |
10862s | crisp they can they say don't forget |
10864s | about us and it looks like barring a |
10867s | miracle that they're going to walk away |
10868s | with a chance to get this open number |
10870s | one in their favor that's the biggest |
10873s | thing that I feel like about Northwood |
10875s | is when I looked back that last series I |
10877s | was thinking to myself yeah Northwood |
10878s | wasn't playing what I know they could |
10880s | but part of it was because they were |
10881s | forced into just awkward situations they |
10883s | were being outplayed by mville but this |
10886s | time around it is an entirely different |
10888s | story but one that ultimately may have a |
10891s | familiar ending Northwood needed a win |
10894s | to force a bracket reset and therefore |
10896s | we do have to turn this bracket upside |
10898s | down we have to reset everything and |
10900s | play it again one more time Northwood |
10902s | playing on hard mode but it worked out |
10904s | for them they get the dub and you're |
10906s | right bracket reset City |
10908s | that's such a difficult task for |
10910s | marville because you know when you go |
10912s | into this one it's kind of like the |
10913s | scenarios where you're being reverse |
10915s | swept almost where you saying okay we |
10917s | got plenty of room okay we're losing a |
10919s | couple games but that's fine we have |
10921s | plenty of room oh well now we're on the |
10922s | border oh that's going to be tough and |
10924s | now that they know it has to come down |
10925s | to one more series that's one thing but |
10927s | to lose this one 4 to one statement from |
10931s | Northwood showing it's not going to be |
10932s | this easy around and certainly you're |
10934s | going to have to clean things up I think |
10935s | this break between series will do them |
10937s | very well yeah I know a lot of people |
10939s | would say hey look it was the the layoff |
10941s | or what Northwood has has been on |
10943s | another level but ultimately you are |
10945s | responsible for yourself in your team |
10946s | there were some breakdowns especially in |
10948s | the passing game northw took advantage |
10950s | of those you had some time to warm up |
10952s | didn't work out for you take this break |
10954s | and find a way to reset for next one and |
10956s | so I I think you and I also have to |
10959s | reset to a certain extent because that |
10960s | took a lot out of me at least to be able |
10962s | to cast I was in disbelief at times and |
10964s | shocked at others but maybe not everyone |
10965s | on the desk is Seb and chicks I'm sure |
10967s | you have plenty of thought about that |
10968s | one what a just complete coin flip that |
10972s | we've seen from this Northwood roster |
10974s | especially going against marville I |
10975s | don't know maybe marville got iced a |
10977s | little bit maybe they weren't sure how |
10978s | to handle the pressure but either way |
10981s | Northwood is on the war path and when |
10984s | Northwood is on a war path in a best of |
10986s | seven series that is a scary animal to |
10989s | be in front of that being said we still |
10992s | have a full uh best of seven to play |
10995s | ahead of us full bracket reset to those |
10997s | of you aren't not familiar because this |
10999s | is a double elimination bracket you |
11001s | essentially get two lies if you lose |
11003s | your Winner's match you move down to the |
11006s | lower end of the bracket where |
11008s | essentially you are on your last life in |
11010s | this case mville went ahead lost and now |
11014s | they are on their last life and they are |
11016s | both Northwood and mville are on equal |
11019s | footing incredible scenes across the |
11022s | board for Northwood checks |
11025s | up I mean Northwood was just Unstoppable |
11028s | it seemed like every move they made was |
11031s | with such ease so many opportunities |
11033s | they had were just clearcut quick |
11036s | transitions that nobody was back in net |
11038s | to even defend they won the pinch plays |
11041s | they just continued to win and they |
11043s | denied even when Maryville got |
11045s | interesting with it time and time again |
11048s | each and every save we've seen in these |
11049s | highlights they were just able to deny |
11052s | so marville didn't have the answer to |
11054s | get past Northwood and Northwood always |
11056s | found a way to score and session more |
11058s | than what we've seen today when normally |
11061s | it's been really difficult to even get a |
11062s | single goal in these series I mean yeah |
11065s | we we were talking about it even before |
11066s | where it's just like Northwood just |
11068s | weren't playing like themselves they |
11069s | didn't look comfortable they were a bit |
11071s | slow to the ball the rotations were a |
11072s | bit wide and just there was a lot of |
11074s | confusion on the pitch and it really |
11076s | came through in the first set against |
11077s | marville but that being said I mean to |
11080s | go from what was just a complete sweep |
11082s | on the mville side Taco all the way over |
11085s | to what is a pretty dominant like 4-1 |
11088s | finish for at least our first series |
11090s | that I don't think anyone was expecting |
11091s | that result I think plenty of people |
11094s | probably were when they're sing well |
11095s | it's northw at the end of the day |
11098s | inevitable aside I mean you know it's |
11099s | just I'm not saying no I'm not saying |
11101s | it's a bad thing to say because it is |
11102s | hypothetical saying well if you get |
11104s | swept then how are you going to be able |
11105s | to improve from that to be able to |
11107s | basically turn it around yes mville gets |
11109s | a game but it did feel at times like |
11111s | there was levels to this the amount of |
11113s | open Nets that were rolling in the |
11115s | amount of clear counters that did not |
11117s | even exist even on the Northwind side |
11119s | for the most part against the them in |
11121s | maryville's Upper racket game that they |
11122s | were playing against it's just too many |
11125s | wideopen goals some people can say yeah |
11127s | mville did come in a little cold |
11129s | Northwood just finished their series |
11130s | quick break and then play again who |
11132s | knows but it's not like mville is |
11133s | sitting around they're scrimming they're |
11134s | in rank they're in free play they're |
11136s | keeping themselves warm so I don't like |
11137s | to use those types of excuses I think |
11139s | straight up they just lost the mental |
11141s | battle at times they sending the ball |
11142s | too far they were chasing some reads |
11144s | they shouldn't and ultimately all those |
11146s | are going to go in the back of your net |
11147s | cuz Norwood's going to see the do open |
11148s | Nets and take them every time well |
11149s | listen we're not done just yet we're |
11151s | going to take a short break as the |
11152s | players cool off but coming up next it |
11155s | will be the bracket reset for the grand |
11158s | finals here for our first open of the |

11637s | [Music] |
11651s | welcome back everyone to collegate |
11653s | Rocket league first bracket or first |
11656s | Grand finals match is done now we have a |
11660s | grand finals bracket reset a very rare |
11664s | opportunity to actually see this with a |
11666s | full best of seven bracket reset it is |
11669s | incredibly exciting Northwood taking it |
11671s | to mville in a 41 score line and now |
11675s | with the bracket reset we have an |
11677s | updated bracket of course we've seen how |
11681s | everything has turned out thus far but |
11684s | Northwood at the top there taking the |
11686s | first series in now that mville is |
11689s | collectively in losers alongside |
11691s | Northwood blue that means we have one |
11693s | more best of seven to go and taco I |
11697s | talked about it previously just in terms |
11699s | of what a coin flip I think Northwood |
11702s | has you know really come especially as |
11704s | they've progressed through this bracket |
11705s | through taking down fiser now through |
11707s | Northwood but this is just this just |
11709s | feels like the Northwood that we should |
11711s | be seeing it's not only just the |
11713s | Northwood that we should be seeing but |
11714s | it's also a familiar site unfortunately |
11716s | for marville it's a that is way too in |
11719s | their head in my mind they are looking |
11720s | at this game play they're playing it |
11722s | fairly even but then there's occasional |
11724s | moment where completely absent in that |
11726s | upper final where you'll have a player |
11728s | cut across field that's fine but then |
11730s | the player behind will also Challenge |
11732s | and then both of them get beat it's a |
11733s | wide open in goal that's fine okay |
11734s | another play okay we're going to bite |
11736s | really hard on the third man but we're |
11737s | nowhere close tapped over another open |
11739s | net kickoff they go too wide they don't |
11742s | rotate back to goal and that's an open |
11743s | net it's just too many easy goals if |
11746s | you're playing Northwood you need make |
11747s | sure they they are fliply setting on |
11748s | your head or nothing and chicka I'm |
11751s | looking at this and this is kind of uh |
11753s | the flip side of what we saw from summer |
11755s | series final Knight has been in this |
11758s | position before where beforehand he was |
11761s | the one coming from losers ended up |
11763s | going a you know unfortunately falling |
11766s | to Northwood in that sense as well but |
11769s | Northwood is the team coming from losers |
11771s | gunning for maryville's title and now |
11773s | it's just pretty much all on marville to |
11776s | see if they can put Northwood away yeah |
11779s | marville should have been feeling |
11781s | confident going into this series yes we |
11784s | could say they were a little cold maybe |
11785s | but they had the opportunity to watch |
11787s | Northwood and really see how they play |
11789s | against a difficult opponent and we just |
11791s | haven't seen answers for the type of |
11793s | play style that Northwood likes to play |
11795s | you've watched them before we all know |
11797s | them so well why you haven't figured out |
11800s | on the field how to adapt and play |
11802s | against Northwood is what really |
11804s | surprises me you know it worked you |
11806s | already beat them once why not beat them |
11808s | again and it can't be the gap of the |
11811s | score line you can't lose confidence now |
11814s | maybe you could call that series a wash |
11816s | learn from it what you can but it's |
11818s | important that you get your head in the |
11820s | game for this best of seven it's your |
11823s | last opportunity to upset that dynasty |
11826s | that most of us said today of course |
11828s | they were going to win they lost and we |
11830s | started questioning really make us |
11833s | question more wellon I'm looking at |
11836s | creams in this because yes while zenil I |
11839s | think he's playing actually |
11840s | fantastically for northw right now he is |
11842s | kind of not only just like the head of |
11843s | the leaderboard but I think he really |
11845s | pivotal to making a lot of Northwoods |
11847s | operations work creams is the newest |
11849s | member of this roster I think he |
11852s | generally he's had a really good time in |
11855s | slotting himself in but how are we |
11857s | feeling generally in this series because |
11860s | although you know he is I would say |
11862s | maybe not the best player they're all |
11864s | kind of on equal footing creem still has |
11866s | to prove himself to some degree even if |
11869s | it is his first crl season yeah |
11871s | absolutely it doesn't matter if it's |
11872s | your first crl season or your seventh |
11874s | right you got to be able to produce for |
11877s | your squad night in Night Out semester |
11880s | in semester out and so again we talk |
11882s | about the theme this year is about the |
11883s | flashes are Brilliance creams has been |
11885s | so good when certain kind of runs but |
11888s | ultimately it's a consistency doing it |
11890s | as many times as you can that's going to |
11892s | make them between good great and Elite |
11893s | so I have faith in creams but I do think |
11895s | there's a long way to work there all |
11897s | right well our lobby is just about ready |
11900s | to go I'm very curious as to where this |
11902s | goes because again Taco we we talked |
11904s | about how mville has been sort of in |
11905s | this situation previously where they've |
11907s | had to deal with Northwood in a best of |
11910s | seven before twice actually in a single |
11913s | bracket in that summer Series bracket |
11915s | obviously this is a different team this |
11917s | is a completely different environment |
11919s | but it's going against that same team |
11922s | these are Europeans that are coming in |
11924s | and really are experiencing all this for |
11926s | the first time especially these best of |
11928s | seven like Double Elimination Brackets |
11930s | and having to do it against the best |
11931s | Collegiate team that we currently have I |
11934s | mean as far as the pressure like just |
11937s | describe it briefly because again |
11938s | there's no really comparison this is |
11941s | something that I talked to about a lot |
11943s | of players when we talk about how they |
11946s | play in crl for the first time or if |
11948s | they are playing from a high level |
11950s | playing in bubble tournaments playing in |
11951s | a lot of invitationals even playing in |
11953s | play they talk about playing for |
11954s | Collegiate they're like it's a different |
11955s | roster and it does hit you a little |
11957s | different you get a little nervous |
11958s | because you're not sure how things are |
11959s | going to work out you're playing against |
11960s | teams you've never scrimmed before |
11962s | sometimes if you're a brand new addition |
11963s | into a roster you've not been able to |
11965s | play in as many tournaments maybe as you |
11967s | want so this is a moment where these |
11969s | players are familiar with playing in |
11970s | high stakes but this is a situation |
11972s | where you haven't worked with this team |
11973s | for forever these are fairly new rosters |
11976s | for both of these sides and yet one side |
11978s | of them it seemed like they were |
11979s | clicking at first now they're falling |
11980s | off Northwood has assumedly figured out |
11983s | all their issues they're just trying to |
11984s | win one more best of seven so I think |
11986s | for the biggest thing is taking a deep |
11988s | breath get the oxygen in your brain |
11990s | lower that heart rate and just be able |
11992s | to take things one game at a time you've |
11994s | already proven you can beat this team |
11996s | you just have to do it one more series |
11998s | with an additional game win in the end |
12000s | so our lobby is just about ready |
12003s | Northwood versus mville one more time |
12006s | for the third time this evening we will |
12009s | see who will come out on top remember |
12011s | this is one small step to the journey |
12014s | that will be the crl national champ |
12017s | Championship Northwood versus mville |
12020s | bracket reset Grand finals let's |
12025s | go well so is the first time we're going |
12027s | to do it again there Taco novantas with |
12030s | you in the broadcast Booth it's going to |
12032s | be a absolute Banger the question is |
12034s | who's going to bang first uh it's hard |
12036s | to tell because ultimately the biggest |
12038s | thing I saw out of mville is that they |
12040s | came into the series knowing that they |
12042s | are we going playing a more warmed up a |
12044s | more polished Northwood but I don't |
12046s | think even they could anticipate just |
12048s | how difficult this team can be when |
12050s | everything goes their way the 50s the |
12052s | saves breakway counters and so now I |
12055s | think marille will be focused on just |
12056s | building from the back play stably play |
12059s | Confident but most importantly do not |
12061s | take any risks you don't have to because |
12062s | we've already seen how that works on out |
12065s | if you're going to lose you at least |
12066s | need to take it a little bit farther |
12067s | than game five look I know this is kind |
12069s | of a thing that Cass like to say over |
12071s | and over again about the idea of |
12072s | pressure but I think both teams are |
12074s | feeling it Northwood because of their |
12076s | legacy Mar because of their run earlier |
12078s | today but ultimately in the bracket |
12080s | research situation you got to give a bit |
12082s | of the edge the team that forced that |
12084s | bracket reset I'm look at Northwood blue |
12086s | to really show out here today 30 seconds |
12088s | gone no score however that is going to |
12090s | be a bump by relating wave which means |
12091s | Knight is going to hang in there and |
12093s | hold that flip nearly getting the dish |
12095s | past the defender but of course never |
12097s | that easy a relating wave off the |
12099s | backboard creams has that read and then |
12101s | some back to Mid well a little bit of |
12105s | that comat ping ponging using the walls |
12107s | of the event something that really |
12108s | wasn't used as much we make you say that |
12111s | both teams are trying some new things in |
12113s | this go |
12114s | round a with a tap down Knight will be |
12116s | able to roll that one at least far |
12117s | enough beating out seil somewhat as that |
12120s | will still deflect into the corner |
12122s | definitely the speed has not been let up |
12124s | by any member of the two teams they're |
12126s | able to challenge immediately and even |
12128s | when they do slow down they want to move |
12129s | forward they want to be able to push the |
12131s | pace and be able to really develop the |
12133s | situation in which one player or really |
12135s | set of players is going to be able to |
12137s | play reactive and the other one |
12139s | proactive I got to be honest with you |
12141s | Taco when you're in a situation where |
12143s | there is a bracket reset how do you keep |
12145s | yourself warm do you do free play do you |
12147s | do just video like how do you keep |
12149s | yourself Frosty I feel like in the past |
12151s | I mean I coach teams at the Collegiate |
12153s | level and honestly when they do get in |
12155s | situations where they do have to deal |
12156s | with something I we had a situation |
12158s | which one such team had a bracket reset |
12160s | in their grand final and I told them get |
12162s | up and like stand up and like get around |
12164s | your room stretch a little bit to Shake |
12166s | It Off and then yeah go back and free |
12168s | play get yourself warm cuz you're not |
12169s | really going to cool down too much but |
12171s | at the very least you need to get away |
12172s | from the game because nerves are going |
12174s | to wreck you much like zenil could wreck |
12176s | your back line if you made contact but |
12178s | rare Miss on that one just completely |
12180s | miscalculates yeah absolutely that could |
12182s | have been a CR critical first goal there |
12184s | for Northwood but a little bit too much |
12186s | spice on the ball off the backboard but |
12188s | hit the post right there doesn't really |
12190s | matter hockey cleans it up and that's a |
12192s | first goal right here for a series these |
12193s | players can read all the angles the best |
12196s | but this one all always throws you a |
12197s | curveball the post doesn't go in it |
12200s | bounces out speed can't get it hocky |
12202s | makes sure that he can just before half |
12204s | timee of game number one Northwood |
12206s | apparently still cruising keeping that |
12207s | streak of goals alive I got to be honest |
12210s | with you hitting the post the way it did |
12211s | I thought it would be going the other |
12212s | way right sailing into the corner but as |
12214s | it went right down right from the middle |
12216s | it was easy picking for hockey hopefully |
12218s | Lady Luck Shines on them quite more as |
12221s | we're at the halftime Point here in the |
12222s | first game and Knight tried to do |
12224s | something on the blower 90 but is |
12225s | knocked away |
12227s | relating wave going to take the first |
12229s | one creams with the flip reset engag |
12231s | he's not going to take the flip but |
12232s | doesn't even matter it's even better |
12234s | that he missed hockey able to get a |
12235s | fairly open shot to double up the lead |
12238s | oh man that ball was just into the |
12240s | middle there was two options there hocky |
12243s | got there first and smartly did it near |
12245s | post having the full stretch for a car |
12247s | that already committed that one there |
12249s | was going to be untouched two |
12252s | N speed able to get the easy enough |
12255s | kickoff problem as he does not get the |
12257s | read afterwards skimming underneath it |
12260s | meaning that all of maryville's plans |
12262s | kind of laid out to waste here and M |
12264s | touches are forgivable but as they build |
12266s | it just kind of goes back to the |
12267s | situation that we've somewhat been |
12269s | worried about about mville maybe just |
12271s | running out of steam it seems like to be |
12272s | able to keep up with the pace of |
12274s | Northwood just being able to play |
12276s | against a squad that is more or less |
12278s | just TSM and C9 in the previous Seasons |
12280s | combined it's a difficult task for any |
12282s | team but you need to be able to stay |
12283s | razor sharp and of course finish those |
12285s | chances so difficult when hockey blocks |
12287s | the only way through I think you said |
12289s | this in an earlier game where it's like |
12291s | if you took the the name tags off of |
12292s | teams you couldn't tell which one it is |
12294s | if I was watching this not knowing which |
12296s | side was which I would say oh man maybe |
12297s | marville is a little bit fatigued of |
12299s | playing so many rounds but that's not |
12301s | them it's actually Northwood the one |
12303s | that's played more on stream game today |
12305s | but they look way more the sharper Squad |
12307s | right now and that's the difficulty of |
12310s | being in the upper bracket some people |
12311s | say well you don't play as many games |
12312s | you don't stay as warm but I think |
12313s | Northwood certainly appreciated it based |
12315s | on how they're playing especially now |
12316s | now that they're cutting in front and |
12318s | coming in from The Blind Side that |
12319s | hockey 50 yielded a somewhat awkward |
12321s | moment but now it has gone from Knight |
12324s | to find a pass to nobody because they |
12326s | have been sent off the field another off |
12328s | ball demo from Northwood be able to |
12329s | throw a wrench into the well laid plans |
12330s | of mville I got to be honest uh one of |
12333s | the few things I hate saying in the the |
12335s | coms was yeah I've been bumped way away |
12337s | from the play sorry guys I was a Sitting |
12340s | Duck but yeah that's what you're talking |
12341s | about being able to get yourself some |
12343s | space that's how it's |
12345s | done speed able to to hold that flip |
12347s | together leing wave only be able to tap |
12350s | it P but more or less a giveway to |
12352s | creams who will get on that angle just |
12354s | off the near post is going to be |
12356s | forgivable somewhat from that angle but |
12358s | you can tell mville every time they kind |
12359s | of clench up on their controllers |
12360s | knowing that anytime you do give any of |
12362s | these players and angle might as well be |
12364s | in zenil trying to show that accuracy |
12366s | but they trying to trip up that near |
12367s | post bit too much placement on that yeah |
12370s | not enough has been said about creams |
12371s | and his angles not so much even making |
12373s | the ankles but determining this one is |
12375s | actually worth shooting on to really be |
12377s | that close that is another level of |
12380s | Education that a lot of Rocket league |
12381s | players don't even take the time to |
12382s | learn and that's why CRI has been so |
12384s | critical for that team hocky with a high |
12387s | lob speed is on top of it he just needs |
12389s | a goal for his Squad with some time |
12391s | remaining wide open for Knight but he's |
12393s | got no boost accuracy's there so is |
12396s | creams he's going to get a follow up |
12397s | dunk as well and that's an emphatic way |
12399s | to end this one Northwood starting off |
12401s | the bracket reset in the lead of the |
12403s | series wow I thought that marville would |
12406s | have got one but like Santa Claus does |
12408s | to me Christmas morning denied here's |
12410s | your Cole and that is a two nil score |
12412s | line for Northwood blue again another |
12414s | game with them pretty much unbothered |
12417s | here Taco yeah and being able to also |
12420s | get the streak of games in which they're |
12422s | holding their opponent's scoreless up |
12424s | somewhat that is nice to see from |
12426s | Northwood it's that been every game but |
12428s | there's been a decent number of them now |
12429s | that shows that Northwood as content to |
12431s | be able to absorb pressure which is |
12433s | unusual play style typically it you |
12435s | don't want to be able to make those gold |
12436s | line saves but more or less they are |
12438s | positioning themselves so that most of |
12440s | the options from Mar are taken notice |
12442s | how many shots that if they are not |
12444s | flawlessly placed they have no chance of |
12446s | getting through i' love Northwood Blues |
12448s | almost like Anaconda type defense what |
12451s | they do is they basically close down the |
12453s | space and they go okay we're going to |
12454s | open up just a bit we're going to hang |
12455s | out by the goal we're going to give you |
12457s | a chance marville takes the bait every |
12459s | time and you see three cars out of |
12461s | nowhere clearing off balls off the net |
12464s | to go ahead for that offensive attack |
12466s | it's actually a very small psychological |
12468s | play it seems to be no antidote as it is |
12470s | right now and it's worked out for them |
12472s | part of it is just the trust in each |
12473s | other's rotation but also the |
12475s | understanding that if they time their |
12476s | challenges correctly you don't have to |
12478s | immediately jump for every single Arrow |
12479s | you're going to trust that marville is |
12481s | going to have to take it slow play for a |
12483s | reset understand that you're not going |
12484s | to be able to get past me unless you do |
12486s | something I'm not anticipating or at the |
12488s | very least have some sort of team play |
12489s | we don't see coming and right now it |
12491s | seems like marville keeps reaching into |
12493s | their bag of tricks and North saying we |
12494s | wrote The Playbook on that you can't |
12495s | pull that on us you have to do better |
12498s | and that's exactly what the mission is |
12500s | in game number two of our bracket reset |
12502s | forbid Temple could be the land in which |
12506s | mville actually has a comeback trail |
12508s | that they can blaze but for right now |
12511s | it's going to start off with some more |
12512s | Northwood pressure yeah absolutely if I |
12514s | was a coach here of that mville side I |
12516s | would say night play up I'm sorry Night |
12518s | play back and let relating W be really |
12521s | more of that go between two-way player |
12524s | just for now to give them a bit more |
12526s | confidence as well to switch up the |
12527s | lineups here because what you're doing |
12529s | is working to a point where you're not |
12531s | getting the balls past the |
12534s | net relating wave actually going to get |
12536s | past the first but not the |
12538s | second and we will be able to at least |
12541s | somewhat see some maral pressure the |
12543s | problem is you only have so much boost |
12544s | to maintain that as well as all the |
12546s | demos continue to rain in I would say on |
12549s | the whole kind of a below average in |
12551s | terms of the car onar violence and I |
12553s | think a lot of it is just because |
12554s | everybody's trying to focus so hard on |
12556s | playing for the 50 slowing things down |
12557s | try to play angles and other times you |
12560s | are zenil just winging it all the way |
12562s | through the backline creams shaking his |
12564s | head how is this this open man just |
12567s | advocated for car car violence but look |
12570s | at this one here it was going to be a SC |
12571s | scor anyway but creams with the reverse |
12573s | go with the extra bit of flare and |
12575s | northw blue finds a way to score again |
12578s | creams was unchecked unmarked unbothered |
12580s | and now it's 1 |
12582s | [Applause] |
12583s | n have Speed playing for the read I like |
12587s | the fake there but you need to throw |
12590s | something in for hocky to be able to |
12591s | bite in for and he kind of just waited |
12592s | for that read knowing that regardless of |
12594s | where it was hit his teammates do have |
12596s | that covered wave going to pop that one |
12598s | high speed might be able to have that |
12599s | one but creams just so sneaky like a |
12601s | robber just sneaks on in steals that one |
12603s | away with that light touch and again |
12605s | it's all the little things as well that |
12606s | are making Northwood so good right now |
12608s | as they're taking away every single |
12610s | opportunity and taking most of them that |
12612s | placement just about as well as he could |
12614s | put it and yet mville going to be able |
12615s | to survive at least one more attack this |
12618s | is why I think that this this game |
12619s | Rocket league is such a psychological |
12621s | one after being the victim of the |
12622s | bracket reset the shorting accuracy has |
12624s | taking a dip but even shots on frame are |
12627s | getting knocked away to the point where |
12628s | you're thinking like if you're mville |
12630s | what do you have to do and problems are |
12632s | compounding the goals per game have |
12634s | taken a dive and that's no |
12637s | coincidence the liting wave will be able |
12639s | to potentially get that dunk but it will |
12642s | be circumvented by Northwood why KN |
12645s | Knight is trying to move it forward and |
12647s | trying so many different things and yet |
12649s | just seems like it comes down to how |
12651s | much they actually want to dive on |
12653s | through because it seems like Northwood |
12654s | it's rotating superbly everyone covering |
12657s | everyone and also the Boost preservation |
12659s | is great creams has barely used anything |
12661s | same with zenil it's why he's able to |
12662s | beat out that aerial yeah you beat it |
12664s | out there maybe you could do a couple |
12666s | more to really put yourself your |
12667s | dominance in the skies I do think one of |
12669s | the telltale signs of a team being beat |
12671s | is when they don't even challenge you |
12673s | when you're in the air and I think zenil |
12674s | is closely to that situation right now |
12677s | speed that's an excellent 50 relating |
12678s | wave should have an open shot and indeed |
12680s | he will be able to convert that's the 50 |
12682s | I'm looking for don't try to be able to |
12684s | go around the player just go through it |
12686s | you know what I like myself a good old |
12688s | taii breaker tie starter equalizer |
12690s | whatever you want to call it there I |
12692s | want to make sure mville is still in the |
12693s | contest that's how it's done with the |
12695s | goal that's really emphatic and kind of |
12697s | out of a Playbook from Northwood and |
12699s | it's something that I really been |
12701s | looking for out of mville of course the |
12703s | other one is making sure you don't give |
12704s | up anything off of kickoff and a little |
12706s | bit scary trying to pull my collar |
12708s | trying to cool off there as Harville |
12710s | playing it fast and loose at times with |
12711s | some of those cheat ups but either way |
12713s | they can take a deep breath and then |
12715s | build from the back with a powerful |
12716s | flick hockey should be able to get this |
12718s | one again but Green's not really able to |
12720s | provide any support so hocky will just |
12722s | do it all himself nice little bump to be |
12723s | able to keep the attack alive for now |
12725s | yeah we're talking about how good these |
12726s | teams are and their formations and |
12728s | rotations but every once in a while |
12729s | there's an absolute dog pile especially |
12731s | in the corners that's kind of fun if you |
12733s | love that slug Fest Style Rocket League |
12736s | wave trying to find Knight but the |
12738s | timing is off which is why it's going to |
12740s | come right back to wave actually on a |
12741s | bounce down he wasn't careful that could |
12743s | have been creams for another goal but |
12744s | instead rare miscommunication means |
12746s | zenil does the smart play plays it all |
12748s | the way back Knight pre jumps it zenil |
12750s | saw it coming relating wave gets it a |
12751s | flection now speed has could hope that |
12753s | demo update helps him on the recovery he |
12755s | KN needed on the near post Knight diving |
12758s | in the only reason that's not a goal I |
12760s | got to be honest with you there t been |
12762s | honest with you all day but just a |
12764s | little bit more emphasis on this one I |
12765s | thought that was kind of a slow idea to |
12768s | go all the way back but it really gave |
12770s | Anil an opportunity to find the go-ahead |
12772s | goal didn't work out for them but that |
12774s | was a creative play that was awesome |
12777s | liting wave wonderful speed Knight |
12779s | should be able to get on this one he's |
12780s | trying to play for the 15 get Neil |
12783s | almost like a wall there that's a player |
12784s | that plays a lot of 2v2 he's familiar in |
12786s | that scenario not giving up too much |
12787s | room allowing his teammates to catch on |
12789s | up to him and now everyone else has to |
12791s | play catch up to this one on the defense |
12794s | cuz mville has forced hocky to use the |
12795s | rest of is Boost that's another giveaway |
12797s | by zenil relating wave off the ceiling |
12800s | with a reset a light one but light |
12802s | enough to cause some commotion hocky |
12804s | trying to get around this clear and he |
12805s | can only get it so far ases a Neil got |
12808s | to be a bully when you need to be you |
12810s | got to be technically proficient when it |
12811s | calls for that it's still anyone's game |
12814s | here what it would mean for Northwood to |
12816s | get that second game in to exert a |
12818s | little bit of psychological dominance is |
12820s | really really important for them why you |
12822s | see a bit of an urgency we hav't seen |
12823s | the top half of this one |
12826s | down relating wave backwards on this one |
12828s | plane for a 50 that should be wide open |
12829s | for Speed one more chance potentially by |
12831s | mville we not see any contact in the |
12834s | corner zenil has that double Knight |
12836s | knows it that's why he's slowing it down |
12838s | if he throws it high it's right into the |
12840s | jaws of zenil to swallow up so therefore |
12843s | not trying to take that risk they're |
12844s | just going to bump him out of the way |
12846s | overtime for mville an attempt to tie |
12848s | this up hey if you like car car violence |
12851s | that was a great way to end that one but |
12852s | uh we said this before when it comes to |
12854s | overtime it kind of Suits the team |
12856s | that's fighting underneath it's Marv's |
12858s | game to win and that was a shot on frame |
12860s | knocked Away by hockey was lacking the |
12862s | power but at times you're trying to get |
12864s | to the initial read like speed right |
12866s | here on the pre jump not going to dust |
12867s | out hockey not only that but he gets the |
12869s | first touch putting Knight in an awkward |
12871s | position no boost but creams is left |
12873s | alone he's going to get that mid boost |
12875s | and the 50 which means speed I thought |
12877s | was on his horse he turns too slowly and |
12879s | he can't cap that one forward uh bailed |
12881s | out by the booze I bet if there was a |
12883s | booze situation before they landed that |
12885s | would have been a different path but had |
12887s | to stop down get that mid booth and that |
12888s | was just the stop they needed to end |
12890s | that offensive |
12892s | run toms are needed there for mville and |
12895s | good job by relating wave and Knight not |
12896s | too cross each other too much Panic on |
12898s | that clear now they're able to relock in |
12901s | and let speed potentially take that |
12902s | around multiple players Knight trying to |
12904s | cut in the rotation he does get that one |
12906s | off creams no boost trying to slow |
12907s | things down relating wave has all of the |
12909s | Boost trying to scoop it across that's |
12911s | wide open to speed that's a mville |
12914s | dub there was something not nearly as |
12918s | clinical as that one all day Tak it |
12921s | around the horn shut up on a silver |
12923s | platter 21 there for marville and I'm |
12927s | just going to say it when you play like |
12928s | that like relating wave using all that |
12930s | boost waiting for people to flail in |
12932s | front of you you can make some great |
12934s | plays essentially unsavable if you're on |
12937s | the near post for Northwood blue nice |
12939s | job by speed to make sure he is there |
12940s | for the immediate crash just in case and |
12943s | that's more like it from mville |
12944s | certainly something to give wind in |
12946s | theirs yeah you know that overtime is |
12948s | always a tricky thing I always feel that |
12950s | teams are the favorite ones struggle in |
12952s | that overtime period marville really |
12954s | that sense of urgency put it on its head |
12957s | and served up an absolute dime to make |
12959s | sure they're not going to be swept in |
12960s | this one and that's two goals that are |
12963s | well formulated from mville it's taking |
12965s | good 50s and trusting each other to be |
12967s | able to dive in for the crash and those |
12969s | are both of the goals more or less |
12971s | coming in by mville being able to stay |
12973s | close to the ball play one-on-one issues |
12975s | and kind of break Northwood down one by |
12977s | one if you kind of just keep throwing it |
12979s | on the backboard yeah it keeps the |
12980s | defense honest it forces them to make |
12981s | those awkward clears but for the most |
12983s | part when Northwood does have to pay |
12984s | that micro game it's not necessarily |
12986s | foolproof they have shown moments where |
12988s | they're not able to deal with it I think |
12989s | mville if they can capture that again |
12991s | should be able to be able to pull the |
12993s | relative upset over Northwood yet again |
12995s | but I don't know want to get too far |
12997s | ahead of ourselves we have played a lot |
12998s | of best of fives this is essentially now |
13000s | a new best of five this time for all the |
13002s | marbles yeah absolutely you're AB ring |
13004s | northw they're really a good effective |
13006s | Sledgehammer but this one here was kind |
13008s | of a small situation a technical mistake |
13010s | a mental error and they got marville on |
13013s | the board can they replicate that |
13014s | question I have if his Ru on to the next |
13016s | round and this is going to be really a |
13019s | question of how well you actually know |
13021s | your opponents because often times |
13023s | people focus on the mechanics of Rocket |
13025s | League obviously there's a lot of |
13026s | teamwork required and I often try to |
13028s | compare this to Chess at times it's |
13030s | about predicting what your opponent's |
13031s | going to do and reacting to it with a |
13033s | lot of Venom speaking of speed almost |
13037s | ripped the covering off the ball with |
13038s | that shot yeah 83 mil from an hour have |
13041s | felt a lot further than that it went |
13043s | towards the nut it was too fast a |
13045s | reactor to clear away and marille gets |
13047s | on the board and talk about a way to be |
13049s | able to get you hype in the comms that's |
13051s | something that'll wake you up better |
13052s | than any caffeine speed getting right |
13055s | back to it again with a pass down this |
13057s | time or so I thought maybe a self pass |
13059s | cuz he's going to crash the boards on |
13061s | creams who will be able to get past one |
13063s | but not past Knight wise to his trickery |
13065s | on that dribble yeah I love a little bit |
13067s | of the air dribble action I said for a |
13070s | lot of rounds before to keep it down to |
13072s | the ground game we did that for a bit |
13074s | now it's time to switch that up |
13075s | reintroduce using the vertical aspect if |
13078s | you will and we're seeing a lot more of |
13080s | that now but the question I have is |
13082s | who's able to knock up or link up with |
13084s | their teammates in that mid pitch that |
13086s | would be the secret sauce well mville is |
13087s | not quite at back and Peak potential I |
13089s | know Knight can place that a little bit |
13090s | better and that's one of those moments |
13091s | where it's not going to go your way but |
13093s | the same can be said for H that shot's |
13096s | not even in the zip code of either post |
13098s | and that was a wide open chance now both |
13100s | sides have said no to yeah I think no |
13102s | one saw that one coming everyone was out |
13104s | of position after that one but uh a bit |
13106s | of hcky other opportunity a little bit |
13108s | of a half second composure they a to put |
13110s | something closer on |
13111s | frame reling wave waiting for that 50 |
13114s | Anil he has no patience for that he's |
13116s | just going to challenge early and be |
13117s | able to then mount something up until |
13120s | they let the clear go down creams plays |
13122s | for possession but that's why wave is |
13123s | already there gets more of the man than |
13125s | the ball that opens things up for Speed |
13127s | around the edge denil turns around on a |
13129s | dime gets there just in the moment where |
13131s | he is needed mville try as they might |
13134s | trying to break through that final tier |
13136s | speed double tap gets the 50 back post |
13140s | Knight again who has the Boost it has to |
13142s | be wave pass potential he chooses it |
13145s | tonight speed what a play by |
13148s | mville wow I'm not sure which one will |
13150s | get the most praise the Boost management |
13153s | the positioning or the different variety |
13155s | of shot selection speed gets the credit |
13157s | for the goal but that was a team effort |
13160s | if there ever was one and I love that |
13163s | decision by Knight because that pass is |
13165s | a good idea by relating wave but it's |
13166s | really far ahead of him Knight's not |
13168s | going to be able to get past near post |
13169s | so why not just hit it off that near |
13171s | post directly in the Middle where both |
13173s | Defenders are last at least expecting it |
13175s | and that's going to be a well worked |
13177s | goal this is the mville I feel like if |
13179s | they use a creativity in unique ways you |
13181s | don't have to go through the defense |
13182s | sometimes just find a creative way to |
13184s | just go to their sides yeah this is one |
13186s | thing that northw blue did not want and |
13187s | that's to put mville back into the game |
13189s | he did all that extra work forcing the |
13191s | bracket reset and now it just seems |
13193s | after that first game it's been all |
13197s | merville hocky trying to find creams |
13200s | four bodies around that one luckily |
13202s | speed is a very large body in that |
13204s | regard because he's going to deflect |
13205s | that one out into the middle there was a |
13207s | pass potential but same could be said |
13209s | about marville up until yet another demo |
13211s | comes into the Midfield not the first |
13212s | time certainly not the last North's |
13214s | going to try that one NE saw speed shot |
13217s | earlier said hey how about this one oh |
13219s | man talk about clinical plays using the |
13221s | Z passes you don't see that too often |
13223s | especially to run a 3v3 rocket league |
13225s | but that right there was great I want |
13227s | more of that please two to one and |
13230s | that's just a lightning Quick Pass but I |
13232s | like zil not over complicating it a |
13234s | lesser player might have tried to slow |
13236s | that one down maybe play it on a solo |
13237s | but other times you just got to rip one |
13239s | top shelf and hope the defender has |
13240s | worse reactions than you passing in |
13242s | tonight there was just no more room on |
13244s | that near post yeah imagine that doing |
13247s | all that work and just got stopped by |
13248s | the woodwork but cream a bicycle a kick |
13251s | got to give him prep for that for being |
13252s | able to have the reaction time even |
13254s | though it really wasn't needed speed has |
13257s | the Avenue of Escape down with relating |
13259s | wave in Pursuit a 50 is going to bounce |
13261s | hockey to the ceiling knight from an |
13263s | angle nice 50 slowing things down enough |
13265s | for a leading wave look at the cut all |
13267s | the way across they want to keep this |
13268s | pressure trying to make Northwood Panic |
13270s | as they throw it left and right exactly |
13273s | what they do Knight's going to leave it |
13274s | to speed flip reset engage another 50 |
13276s | down for wave Tak it to theiling zil's |
13279s | late to the challeng he's going to get |
13281s | there in time but the shot stilles in |
13283s | well wide Knight's going to leave it for |
13284s | Speed and mville has the rotation on |
13286s | lock wow you beat the Defenders but they |
13289s | didn't have the ball on target you don't |
13291s | get giant chances quite like that you |
13293s | have to have it on point or else you be |
13295s | asking what could have |
13297s | been looking like almost night and day |
13301s | Novant I swear we didn't take any |
13303s | extended break between games but |
13304s | marville look at like A Renewed team |
13306s | they're rotating much more calmly |
13308s | they're not chasing any reads and most |
13310s | importantly I don't see any of them |
13312s | diving at the ball collectively there's |
13314s | no Panic in the rotations I don't know |
13316s | what the coms are like for all I know |
13317s | it's just overlapping screaming but I'd |
13319s | like to think they're handling |
13320s | everything pretty well especially there |
13323s | as speed watches as hockey hits that one |
13325s | well wide yet again I think leads change |
13328s | that I know they won the last game in |
13329s | over time but this is actually the first |
13330s | functional lead they had all series it |
13333s | does feel like a different team when you |
13334s | have that time to say look we don't have |
13336s | to come back we don't have to equalize |
13338s | we don't have to make things level we |
13340s | have the higher ground maybe we can take |
13342s | an extra moment or time to see what |
13344s | works out for us speed doesn't Chase |
13347s | waits for the pop from hocky doesn't |
13348s | unfortunately find his man so therefore |
13350s | hockey has his own place to be able to |
13352s | make made bump on the near post still |
13354s | not being able to navigate its way |
13356s | through that is on target from lighting |
13358s | wave yet he catches up to it from behind |
13360s | using every ounce of boost to be able to |
13362s | make that stand and keep this lead with |
13364s | 20 to go yeah that was definitely a full |
13366s | stretch I know you had that finger down |
13369s | that booze button saying I give me |
13370s | everything I don't care if I'm |
13371s | supersonic make sure I'm there in |
13374s | time Mar with the chance to get a rare |
13377s | lead in the series against Northwood |
13379s | here they just have to survive one more |
13381s | time but that's a double demo hockey |
13383s | pickpocketed by Knight but the clear is |
13385s | not in no boost in 2/3 of merville |
13388s | hockey might know that speed still finds |
13390s | a way pass middle zenil near post creams |
13394s | denied again mville putting up a wall |
13397s | Brick by Brick oh my goodness this is |
13401s | still up there the ball is still alive |
13403s | an opportunity and no marville holds on |
13405s | by the skin of their team how do they |
13407s | get it to happen and that's exactly what |
13409s | you have to do against Northwood many |
13411s | teams I feel like are just saying hey |
13412s | we're going to play prevent defense you |
13413s | know go deep just cover everything |
13415s | obvious and go from there but marville |
13417s | realizes they have to stay locked in |
13419s | because the bumps are coming in a double |
13421s | demo to start off that first attacking |
13423s | Fay was one thing but to get the count |
13426s | saves and deflections in front at 0 |
13428s | seconds my goodness the perseverance |
13431s | being shown by mville we really do have |
13433s | a Bracken reset series on our hands |
13435s | absolutely game three the story about |
13437s | game three happened the end of game two |
13439s | with that crisp pass to get that first |
13442s | win for marville in the overtime period |
13444s | and all like that that 60 seconds it was |
13446s | a different team one willing to wait to |
13448s | see what the defense is going to do and |
13450s | do counter measures as of coming from a |
13452s | place of panic and it's paid off |
13454s | dividends as it is right now three games |
13456s | are down marville has the game advantage |
13459s | and there just two wins away of winning |
13461s | this series and being able to get that |
13464s | close is one thing but I think marville |
13466s | understands that some bounces go uh left |
13469s | to right or a little bit differently |
13470s | this is a very different game and |
13472s | therefore series because they had that |
13474s | break and I think that's huge for the |
13476s | team just to be able to sit together |
13477s | coach KX former rostered member of this |
13480s | marville squad originally brought over |
13481s | from Europe to be able to coach the |
13483s | mville squads and he's got a a really |
13485s | good one here but he knows they didn't |
13487s | reach their potential I feel like this |
13488s | time they got everything dialed in |
13490s | that's exactly why you get the man into |
13492s | your University get him into your |
13494s | program for moments like this for Grand |
13496s | Final bracka resets like this Utopia |
13499s | dusk a chance for marville to move on to |
13501s | Championship Point yeah this is really |
13504s | more than mechanics this is more than |
13505s | rotations it's about Focus now you have |
13507s | The High Ground and you're still the |
13509s | winers bracket can you win two more or |
13511s | will Northwood find something else to |
13514s | counter I like the creativity there from |
13516s | mville just trying to get those light |
13517s | little touches but you're going to have |
13518s | to do better than that to stop mville |
13521s | because Knight is getting creative so is |
13522s | relating wave sitting there hoping for a |
13524s | clear right to him almost got his wish |
13527s | yeah Knight has just been an absolute |
13529s | Terror for any Defender out there cuz |
13531s | when you think you have the game already |
13532s | scouted out comes more mechanics he |
13534s | didn't think was |
13536s | possible pass down speed looking for a |
13538s | light shot maybe just to trip up zenil |
13541s | Knight with a half rotation wants to |
13542s | keep this one in the danger area no |
13544s | double tap a little bit too far to the |
13546s | back post not anything anybody can do |
13548s | with but doesn't mean that it's over |
13550s | Northwood still looking for a clear and |
13553s | right now I think they'll take anything |
13554s | past the Midfield which will then be |
13556s | sent right back I got to give Northwood |
13559s | a lot of credit a lot of teams with that |
13560s | kind of pressure would have folded as it |
13562s | of right now but they haven't ConEd it |
13563s | quite as yet speed I think would have |
13566s | benefited from a harder hit there to be |
13567s | able to get that one pass that last |
13569s | Defender maybe facilitating Knight into |
13571s | the offense but either way it's still |
13573s | working for right now relating wave has |
13575s | another boost Steel in the corner creams |
13577s | and zenil have absolutely nothing Knight |
13579s | has more than enough and that's why he's |
13581s | tucking it in the bottom 90 yeah I think |
13584s | you hit the nail on the head there with |
13585s | raing wave just being that goon taking |
13587s | all that boost pads and pills G it open |
13590s | for Knight with the extra bit of ooms to |
13592s | split the defense on the run a lot |
13595s | harder than it |
13597s | looks transformation continues from |
13600s | mville into a squad that can really |
13602s | stand toe to- Toe with the titans of crl |
13604s | but One goal of course is usually not |
13607s | enough in games like this it seems like |
13609s | there always seems to be some form of |
13611s | answer at the very least some heroics |
13613s | from Northwood they've been kept |
13614s | somewhat quiet almost eerily so and you |
13617s | know what they say about the Comm before |
13619s | the storms Anil from an angle that could |
13620s | be open relating wave shuts the door |
13622s | another save coming in using the |
13625s | frame wow speed gets that epic save it |
13628s | should be worth more points than that |
13630s | because that was critical and a half and |
13632s | you talk about the idea of a one go lead |
13634s | and how it has happened but it's super |
13636s | rare I know it's about clock Management |
13638s | in rocket league and there are some |
13639s | techniques to that but it's so hard to |
13641s | have a lead so early and just expect |
13643s | your opponent not to come up with |
13645s | something else to make sure they get on |
13646s | the board so Props to them for holding |
13648s | out the pace but you know it's not going |
13650s | to stay in forever and even bump |
13652s | attempts from North would not exactly |
13653s | working two players in the field for |
13655s | marville and being able to make sure |
13657s | that ball does not cross the threshold |
13659s | making sure you make contact would go a |
13661s | long way though speed luckily has |
13662s | someone to back him up and now Knight |
13664s | has a pass down to relating wave fake |
13666s | attempts not going in speed's trying to |
13667s | look for a bump of play to be able to |
13669s | get that shot through but at the very |
13671s | least maybe he can Rescue It flip reset |
13673s | raing wave lack of Cs not going to be |
13675s | able to get that hand off yeah I got |
13677s | swatted away but I got to give all the |
13679s | credit to speed just being a field |
13681s | General being able to stop the run of |
13682s | play and then put that ball in different |
13684s | directions a lot harder it looks as well |
13686s | but speed's been making that look easy |
13688s | all series long speed I like that law |
13691s | it's just making sure hocky has to reach |
13692s | back and get that awkward Touch Boost |
13694s | steel from Knight comes in but doesn't |
13695s | get to possession 50 on hockey means |
13697s | Anil is going to be up for this one with |
13699s | Knight and Knight with even less boost |
13701s | will be able to call the bluff hit that |
13703s | one in the ceiling speed gets that pre |
13704s | jump and maybe a breakway z Neil's got |
13706s | absolutely nothing in the tank but he is |
13708s | the positioning to get the first one not |
13710s | the second speed underneath again oh man |
13713s | if there ever was a moral Victory you |
13714s | got to give it to the zil to see it to |
13716s | ey it to judge it and to clear it away |
13718s | but you put yourself in the net there |
13720s | was no chance for a second attempt and |
13721s | that second scoring option is was was |
13723s | the difference two n |
13726s | merville and this is going to be |
13728s | something where you're going to have to |
13729s | Blink and you miss it some games you |
13731s | come in see Northwood playing well all |
13733s | right seems like this Series has kind of |
13735s | its pattern sketched out you walk away |
13737s | for a little bit grab a snack come back |
13738s | and suddenly maraville Not only was won |
13740s | a game but really taking control of this |
13742s | one they actually might get another if |
13743s | this bump goes through hockey is fast |
13745s | enough to jump over but doesn't mean |
13746s | anything about speed nobody marking him |
13748s | as he resets past one wave going for the |
13750s | craziest of angle I love the confidence |
13753s | so this is what I'm talking about there |
13754s | speed has been go good with his control |
13756s | so he can able to take more time to burn |
13758s | those valuable seconds off the clock |
13760s | again clock management is a little bit |
13761s | different in rocket League when you see |
13763s | great teams do that it really helps out |
13765s | for them that last exchange was about 10 |
13767s | seconds and that's been critical because |
13768s | Northwood is down two goals or three and |
13772s | something you might not have been able |
13773s | to see Knight bothering speed or |
13776s | bothering with speed in the goal creams |
13778s | is really just trying to get away it's |
13780s | why he's all the way in the back of the |
13781s | goal and why he can barely even reach |
13783s | that line or just s right over his head |
13786s | Northwood you have committed nine saves |
13789s | and yet still three have gone through |
13791s | this is a marville team that you're were |
13793s | dealing with it's like a tornado ripping |
13795s | through the backline yeah absolutely so |
13797s | I think marville took the idea of |
13799s | Northwood being able to S back and their |
13801s | third to knock off pressure but we also |
13804s | saw they're a bit slow for that |
13805s | transition to offense so they figured |
13807s | why not be that way be annoying even |
13809s | though they pull one back here by zenil |
13811s | why not be that way and put some goals |
13813s | on the board to force him to be more |
13814s | than the defensive position and this one |
13816s | is something we hav not seen from |
13817s | Northwood in a bit a bit of subtlety on |
13819s | that offensive build zenil doesn't crash |
13822s | on that ball he waits for the inevitable |
13824s | touch it comes on in Taps it to the |
13826s | middle and then there you go open pass |
13828s | one to1 and Northwood at least has |
13831s | something to hold on to but way marille |
13833s | is playing I don't think they're in a |
13834s | charitable mood to give up two more yeah |
13837s | I mean I do think giving up two goals in |
13838s | a minute is definitely possible I've |
13840s | been on the blunt end of that one plenty |
13842s | of times there in ranked play there Taco |
13844s | but I got to say we talks about keeping |
13846s | things slowing down I think Now's the |
13848s | Time to on a pace here for |
13850s | mville relating wave will be beaten over |
13852s | the top knight should have this covered |
13854s | anded he does frams going to be sitting |
13857s | back but he needs to go forward I love |
13858s | that from relating wave he's not sure if |
13859s | he's going to be able to get the ball |
13861s | but he can certainly slap that player |
13862s | back yeah he sure can being able to be a |
13865s | little bit violent is always a good idea |
13867s | especially when no one sees it coming |
13869s | and that could be the X Factor in this |
13870s | game and certainly has been an X Factor |
13873s | among many for Mar the pressure the |
13876s | creativity and most importantly the |
13878s | Swagger to take another one in style |
13880s | tearing apart Northwoods defense and |
13882s | they are one game closer to making |
13885s | history well this is going to go down |
13888s | for being one of the greatest Grand |
13889s | finals in the open format because no one |
13891s | saw this one coming I think at one point |
13893s | if you picked a team you would have been |
13895s | made to be a fool at some point what we |
13897s | saw here is very clean rotations being |
13899s | able to be aggressive when needed and |
13900s | those goals came in bunches marille with |
13902s | the |
13903s | dub and you can see actually everybody |
13906s | just in the test Lobby here or rather |
13909s | the game Lobby you can't seeing the |
13911s | stats here all I'm seeing is the only |
13914s | player not ready up is hockey |
13916s | potentially evidence of just waiting it |
13919s | out no need to press ready but also |
13920s | probably just talking it through it's |
13922s | one thing to lose as Northwood but very |
13924s | rarely will you see those games where it |
13926s | just gets away from them that's 14 shots |
13929s | no overtime for mville that is one uping |
13931s | nearly by double digits Northwood side |
13934s | and that's something where I feel like |
13935s | when marville Taps into something I feel |
13938s | like you really need to do a lot more to |
13939s | knock him off as Northwood even |
13941s | experimented a bit differently that was |
13942s | a different play style from last game |
13944s | yet they still feel felt utterly |
13946s | Bamboozled at times by what they were |
13947s | witnessing that's exactly what happened |
13949s | it was an idea of a team that wanted to |
13951s | get some high grounds use a strategy was |
13953s | a bit unique for them they found uh this |
13955s | case marville found the counter measure |
13957s | and now if you're North Way You go Okay |
13959s | do we double down on this one do we BR |
13961s | something else do we go a little little |
13962s | faster what exactly we have to do to put |
13964s | ourselves on the board |
13965s | and being able to find that answer to |
13968s | that question is really rhetorical cuz |
13970s | ultimately you don't know what it's |
13971s | going to take that's why rocket league |
13973s | is so crazy this is not turn-based |
13974s | combat this is very much in the moment |
13976s | you got to pull out something |
13978s | spectacular how about a lead block to |
13981s | rip on target unfortunately Knight did |
13983s | not get the memo just a little bit wide |
13985s | maybe a comeback froming wave but he'll |
13987s | play the slow play with a lead demo from |
13989s | speed oh man 10 seconds elapse or 15 |
13992s | there's already two demos already you |
13994s | know what forget the pleasantries now |
13996s | the gloves are off there taco and no |
13998s | love lost between these two teams |
14000s | Knight's looking for Revenge with his |
14001s | new Squad relating wave might just help |
14004s | him achieve it a lead and now a death |
14006s | timer started for Northwoods bracket |
14008s | reset chances love the fact that Knight |
14011s | passed it himself to say I'm going to |
14012s | draw the one Defender Leave It Wide Open |
14014s | maybe it was a pass of good faith but |
14017s | then he had the receipt there 1 n and |
14021s | that's just unrelenting pressure to the |
14022s | point where I don't think Northwood has |
14024s | escaped their yet kickoff included |
14026s | that's the first time they've done so |
14027s | and maybe gets even more on it hockey |
14030s | was waiting for aing wave to bite on |
14031s | that one maybe looking for a 50 or |
14033s | potentially something more but either |
14035s | way Northwood they need to get out of |
14036s | their own way if nothing else just kind |
14038s | of staring at each other yeah break |
14040s | dancing on your own third is not the way |
14042s | to do it but uh little bit a moment of a |
14044s | mental breakdown there for northw trying |
14046s | to find their own answer for this one |
14047s | but that's not how it's done knocking to |
14049s | your own teammates Knight spiking that |
14051s | one down going for demo and hockey he |
14053s | will get it but the clear comes in with |
14054s | is meaning speed probably has a solo |
14056s | play but he also has a teammate in the |
14058s | middle he'll fake pass one he'll trck a |
14059s | 50 on another one relating wave left |
14061s | alone zenil has the Boost Advantage |
14063s | quick flick but yet still able to get in |
14065s | the way can see Northwood wanting to |
14067s | slow down and be a bit more deliberate |
14069s | but I didn't even know what's the right |
14070s | decision anymore maybe she just needs to |
14071s | get back these passes but so hard when |
14073s | even Knights reading those yeah |
14075s | absolutely I think when you go up to the |
14077s | side walls or even the air uh marvilla |
14079s | shown they're just a lot more crisper |
14081s | with their decision making and effects |
14083s | of challenges so you got to go to the |
14085s | ground which I know is kind of the |
14086s | opposite seems kind of counterintuitive |
14088s | but you don't want to go where your |
14089s | opponent is stronger than you right well |
14092s | certainly it looks like marville is |
14093s | stronger obviously all the cars have the |
14095s | exact same statistics in this game but |
14097s | it feels like marville is is built of |
14099s | anim mantium they are just demoing |
14101s | everybody in their path and seems like |
14103s | Northwood can do little to do it mly |
14105s | because all these demos coming from the |
14107s | side from the blind spots kind of like |
14108s | that pass from hockey almost skirting |
14110s | that over to zenil but rarely Northwood |
14112s | beaten to that read which means creams |
14115s | going to have to go to work here off the |
14116s | ceiling relating wave takes a 50 that |
14118s | should be wide open and of course it's |
14119s | going to result in the goal it was wide |
14122s | open but it was not enough power I |
14124s | thought it was going to be knocked away |
14125s | at the last possible second but you know |
14127s | what it was well done and this is what |
14128s | it is an Neil using the backs side of |
14130s | the car to go wide with it someone would |
14132s | have the stretch if they were there |
14134s | doesn't matter it's now a tie game yeah |
14136s | that's a rough one but also it comes |
14138s | from the perseverance of this time |
14140s | creams having limited boost but gets |
14142s | bumped forward and then hockey says Hey |
14144s | I want on that action that's a giveaway |
14146s | zenil not going to do well with that |
14147s | slot needs a lot more height or at least |
14149s | more power next time yeah you know like |
14152s | going to full stretch is definitely |
14153s | something to be desired but a lot of |
14155s | times you do commit to something you |
14156s | have to go Full Tilt you only give |
14158s | yourself a half measure oh man that was |
14160s | to crossed to B that was going to go in |
14162s | just t a second yeah you got to go be |
14163s | able to go full in sometimes you know |
14165s | what I'm |
14166s | saying and really there is no room in |
14169s | this type of game particularly in a |
14171s | grand finals to be able to say h I think |
14174s | I have that H I might go for that you |
14176s | have to just make a decision whether go |
14177s | or not because otherwise in that |
14179s | indecision you will be torched like this |
14181s | one from a ling wave he wasn't sure |
14183s | that's why Knight fully committed to the |
14184s | save luckily for mville that means that |
14187s | will retain this one to one game status |
14190s | and maybe not for long if they're not |
14191s | careful a lot of boost being used up |
14193s | luckily relating wave gives them a |
14194s | little bit of time yeah it's a little |
14196s | bit of time but the one thing you don't |
14197s | want to do if you're northw is pretty |
14199s | much Bank on a low-scoring game it may |
14202s | be the case but you know marville has a |
14204s | way of break taking your defenses you |
14206s | got to put things on bunches now I |
14208s | understand it's easier said than done |
14210s | but I'm telling you the longer you wait |
14211s | the more is an advantage for that |
14213s | marille side reling wave has already |
14215s | done some magic in a previous series |
14217s | from this corner but this time not going |
14219s | to work how about something more basic |
14220s | speed with a fake around doesn't |
14222s | necessarily trip up the defense but they |
14224s | didn't go for it they had to turn away |
14226s | and hope for hockey to be able to do |
14227s | something with zero boost that 50 from |
14229s | speed is going to result in another |
14231s | boost steal Knight on his horse nobody |
14233s | up there is Absol absolutely no one near |
14235s | him and yet the flip reset gets away |
14237s | with him rare mechanical mistake yeah |
14240s | sometimes you got the ball you got to |
14241s | shoot I understand the double clutch I |
14243s | understand the rip reset but sometimes |
14245s | just say I got it I touched it take it |
14247s | away from |
14249s | Mei certainly might want that no more |
14251s | boost so he's going to play the near |
14252s | poost game yet again not going to get |
14254s | that boost Steel in the corner so PRS |
14256s | again going to have to go back to work |
14257s | deflection middle double commit and yet |
14259s | the correct clear does come in down the |
14261s | sideline for yet another boost steel and |
14263s | for Speed to thread the needle just wide |
14266s | of the back post that's a kind of |
14268s | Bravery the Brazen attitude you need |
14271s | when you are playing in crl that right |
14273s | there could have been a game breaking |
14275s | goal didn't work out for them but speed |
14276s | knows he has the hot handing wave he's |
14279s | got absolutely nothing in his hands |
14280s | because he is Boost that's why he needs |
14282s | someone else to take that ball off of |
14284s | him Knight loses the 50 technically as |
14287s | that one goes straight into the ceiling |
14288s | Knight trying to make up for wave with a |
14290s | 50 close angle 20 seconds remaining |
14292s | Northwood do you have one more chance to |
14294s | be able to steal this game in the end or |
14297s | can marville survive to an overtime long |
14300s | clear will provide some evidence for the |
14301s | ladder oh man last 10 seconds ago if you |
14304s | want to be a hero now mville this is how |
14306s | you do it imagine knocking off Northwood |
14308s | in regulation who's going to step up not |
14311s | only that but this is going to end this |
14313s | entire bracket if Knight can just have |
14315s | one more moment long clear probably |
14317s | means we are done with the heroic |
14319s | speed's going to extend that one and we |
14321s | will indeed hit that green seaweed Turf |
14324s | of aquad to see whether or not we have |
14326s | another game in this bracket reset Grand |
14329s | Final remember having to start Bas Arc |
14331s | not the point anyway it is definitely an |
14333s | overtime situation marville knows they |
14336s | want to put uh Northwood back into this |
14338s | one so they're going to be acting a |
14339s | little bit more frantic to make sure |
14340s | they have the go cross the net and maybe |
14341s | a bit too frantic cuz that one was open |
14344s | seal somehow misses both of those cannot |
14347s | get that one to go and that is going to |
14349s | haunt the dreams of a player if they end |
14351s | up losing this Grand Final as that was |
14354s | wide open I think he just didn't have |
14356s | the Boost to get around it either way |
14358s | that's the pass you got to focus on the |
14359s | present like speed dive bombing from the |
14361s | ceiling Knight now asked to get on his |
14363s | horse get this first save hockey into |
14365s | zil trying to make up for it off the |
14368s | frame no you don't get opportunities |
14371s | like that you split the defense no one |
14373s | was there you hit the woodwork talk |
14375s | about terrorizing dreams that's one |
14378s | right there |
14379s | Tako AI heavy hit relating wave as it to |
14382s | go backwards for it Knight actually turn |
14384s | turns towards the play which means |
14385s | nobody in goal at least nobody with |
14387s | Boost Knight able to Ricochet one around |
14390s | relating wave up in support no boost but |
14392s | he doesn't need to provide anything |
14393s | except for hesitation on cream's part |
14395s | which does somewhat but now it's down |
14398s | the sideline yet again for Northwood |
14399s | trying to slowly build through 50s and |
14402s | just the air dribbles through the sky |
14404s | seeing everyone on that pits trying to |
14406s | fake out everybody else is kind of like |
14408s | the great art to watch who's going to be |
14411s | one to be fooled right now no one is |
14412s | that's why we're going back and forth |
14414s | you can see KN bite really heavy in the |
14415s | middle just making sure hocky doesn't |
14417s | have that pass it's exactly what |
14418s | Northwood is trying to bank on they're |
14420s | trying to make sure they read each other |
14421s | but both teams are just trying so hard |
14423s | not to make the crucial mistake hockey |
14425s | going to hit that one lightly but no |
14427s | Boost from knights means speed has that |
14429s | one to relating wave he's got it past |
14430s | one he's going to be playing off cream's |
14432s | Touch Boost steel but that unfortunately |
14435s | allows a pocket for another Northwood |
14437s | clear we're getting right to the back |
14439s | the think of it much like how this day |
14441s | started it's how it's ending these |
14443s | offensive attacks are going to the |
14444s | corners and they're dying off and that's |
14446s | what happens when things go knock the |
14447s | other way and so I got to say the one |
14449s | that decides to shoot from Broad Street |
14451s | from that Middle Lane it's going to be |
14452s | the Difference Maker here relating wave |
14455s | trying to throw that one on target |
14456s | speeds too far away that pass too far |
14459s | forward Knight double tap everybody from |
14461s | mville back they know that they didn't |
14463s | really have too big of a chance on that |
14464s | one good Cal as that almost went by off |
14466s | a mistake speed making up for it by |
14468s | dusting that first player KN with a lot |
14469s | of boost air dribble taking that one |
14471s | down doesn't want to take on zenil |
14473s | directly but a bounce down means Speed |
14475s | high lob Kem is getting interfered with |
14477s | I don't think he has that double it's |
14478s | wave near post just wide again Knight |
14481s | interfered with by creams and maybe |
14483s | something hockey can do oh man Knights |
14485s | on of a position and reling wave with |
14488s | the clear of the ages |
14491s | wow can't really ask for much better |
14493s | than that on the recovery again you want |
14495s | to be able to walk that line provide |
14498s | pressure without giving up something |
14500s | else on the counter Northwood you know |
14502s | they're just licking their lips every |
14503s | single time they |
14505s | risky plays but the difference between |
14507s | the last series and now is mville |
14509s | seeming priori their positioning over |
14511s | everything KN with another dunk to be |
14513s | able to slow down Northwood get them to |
14515s | recalibrate their approach I get it cuz |
14517s | marville has has been so frustrating if |
14519s | you're Northwood because their defense |
14521s | almost seems like going to bend Bend |
14523s | Bend to the point they break and then |
14524s | they don't break and go what do I have |
14526s | to do to split this defense and this is |
14528s | what the frustration we're seeing here |
14530s | in this overtime period three and a half |
14531s | to go here uh three and a half played in |
14533s | overtime speed just wide wide open shot |
14536s | again but of course you got to play for |
14538s | placement and sometimes that will get to |
14539s | even the most incredible of goal line |
14543s | poachers Knight open shot top Corner |
14545s | hockey somehow pulls a miracle out same |
14548s | with creams that is an deflection but |
14549s | relating wave should have the angle |
14551s | everybody playing off each other's touch |
14553s | just lingering in the Midfield is this |
14555s | ball waiting for something a bit more |
14558s | decisive to come through but it's not |
14560s | going to come through yet 4 minutes into |
14563s | OT still deciding whether or not we keep |
14565s | this series going not sure why there was |
14567s | four topical whiffs looked like C the |
14569s | solay for a bit but uh the point I'm |
14571s | saying is you're right I think |
14572s | everyone's feeling the pressure now |
14573s | forget one side over the other to be |
14575s | able to be a hero right now in the aquad |
14577s | mean the world just need to end this |
14579s | round because it just seems to be a |
14581s | attack a Hit Parade back and |
14583s | forth Green's dispossessed by speed |
14585s | throwing into open space behind zenil |
14587s | but in front of hockey the ladder will |
14589s | be able to get that first touch and now |
14591s | with creams up speed is needed now that |
14593s | relating wave has been bumped near post |
14595s | on the double tap Knight was making sure |
14597s | there's no chance that that is an |
14599s | awkward situation for his teammates it's |
14601s | even better when relating wave is |
14602s | following through with great reads like |
14604s | that these great reads have really kept |
14606s | them in this one again almost a full |
14609s | regulation game in overtime if there |
14611s | ever was one speed is trying to find an |
14613s | answer but relating wave is something I |
14615s | think is pushed up in this overtime |
14617s | period maybe not to the detriment of |
14618s | marville but I like the fact of trying |
14620s | new things here yeah we're uncertain of |
14623s | whether or not we're going to get |
14623s | another game in this series but at the |
14625s | very least you have one this is some |
14627s | bonus rocket league as his overtime is |
14629s | stretched past five and that might be as |
14631s | far as it goes if not for zenil well |
14634s | done to be able to step in front of that |
14635s | relating wave effort as hockey is |
14638s | testing wave again but on defense Knight |
14640s | being able to tap this one forward zenil |
14642s | a double again and every time I feel |
14644s | like is this the moment where they're |
14645s | missing that read it's asking a lot of |
14647s | these players they live up to their |
14648s | reputation yeah a lot of times zil I |
14651s | don't think has the idea when they lift |
14652s | off but to be able to put their car in |
14655s | the situation get a hand up there is |
14657s | great that's what leadership is all |
14659s | about saying I'm not sure what the plan |
14660s | is but I'm going to do whatever it can |
14661s | to make sure my opponent isn't score |
14663s | look it's Anil interfering with that |
14665s | near post kem's double tap trying to get |
14666s | a pass that's wide open for zil can he |
14668s | get a Redemption again shooting it right |
14671s | down the middle going to be an easy save |
14673s | for mville but maybe the followup won't |
14675s | be waiting for a flip from hockey it |
14677s | never comes and his bluff was called |
14680s | yeah sitting there waiting for the shot |
14681s | was pretty much a perfect idea I was |
14683s | kind of nervous about that but again not |
14685s | being able to capitalize on a great |
14688s | clear like that may RW the day for |
14691s | mville as they act went in there how do |
14693s | you orchestrate that one a pinch clear |
14695s | and now zenil lobbing that one |
14697s | potentially into nobody but speed 50 not |
14700s | going to favor him so Northwood Pops |
14702s | that one again down the field trying to |
14704s | keep this High awkward uncomfortable for |
14707s | marille and yet they see through all the |
14710s | smok and mirrors speed just waits for |
14711s | his clear to be able to buy time for |
14713s | everybody to restructure from mville I |
14715s | have no idea when this is going to end |
14717s | hopefully people don't have plans later |
14718s | on this evening we could be here for a |
14720s | while yeah imagine that two hour |
14722s | overtime why not you know uh but yeah |
14724s | it's awkward for everybody cuz |
14726s | everyone's doing everything that we |
14728s | haven't been used to the playbooks are |
14729s | out it has basically been a dog pile dog |
14732s | fight to feel out what would be the next |
14733s | goal Green scored long pinch that's over |
14736s | Knight should have this one despite no |
14738s | boost relating wave and speed combining |
14740s | in and is this the Counterattack I |
14742s | thought it might be KN was waiting for |
14744s | potentially a touch that he could get |
14745s | into his path every single time we see |
14748s | that forward I think we're not going to |
14749s | be seeing too many more attacks with |
14751s | this one player fully back unless it's |
14752s | wide open on the offensive chance seems |
14755s | like everybody just trying to make sure |
14756s | the back line is secure before anything |
14759s | else yeah you got to understand that you |
14761s | don't want to be the one to cause that |
14763s | goal to be conceded especially in a deep |
14765s | overtime period talk about psychological |
14767s | damage about losing the tournament in |
14769s | the case of Northwood so you're seeing |
14771s | everyone pretty much go as wide and |
14772s | stretch out as they can having someone |
14774s | that back third to make sure things are |
14776s | being cleared away dreams doesn't have |
14778s | it hockey doesn't need relating wave |
14779s | he's go out for blood and that's going |
14781s | to be Knight with an angle an Avenue |
14784s | cleared by his teammate mville despite |
14787s | the adversity despite getting slapped |
14789s | around in our first section of the Grand |
14792s | Final they're going to take it all a |
14794s | performance for the ages opening up ball |
14797s | 2024 yeah that was definitely a goal |
14800s | that came from fatigue Northwood just |
14801s | pretty much was running on fumes and you |
14803s | had with the slot in takes my shootter |
14806s | down the middle idea out the window |
14809s | doesn't matter if it goes past the net |
14810s | GG's everyone phenomenal effort by |
14813s | mville but I have to say it took some |
14816s | doing and that's saying even before we |
14818s | went what seven plus minutes in overtime |
14821s | it felt like that was Insanity to notice |
14824s | how much effort that took I have to feel |
14827s | for Northwood zil had a couple chances |
14829s | and this is where I think we talked |
14831s | before it was preent of Seb to bring up |
14833s | pressure will get to any player but it |
14835s | seemed like mville was more than immune |
14839s | yeah absolutely after the bracket reset |
14840s | I said well is marville are they already |
14843s | thinking about next week but they found |
14844s | a way to take that out of the chin lock |
14847s | in and come in with a dominant |
14848s | performance over a multitude of games |
14850s | starting with the overtime period That's |
14852s | the kind of resolve where good teams can |
14854s | use in the later half of a season and |
14857s | that's something that is also going to |
14858s | boost mville especially because Knight |
14860s | you know nobody took that harder MVP |
14863s | performance from him throughout the |
14865s | summer leagues that we did see and then |
14868s | losing in a sweep in the grand finals |
14869s | Northwood I mean that's something that |
14871s | maybe you go into that tournament and |
14872s | you know it's going to be a tough but to |
14874s | be able to lose again but still be able |
14876s | to say it's fine we got this let's just |
14878s | talk it over in the break and pull out a |
14880s | performance like that not needing to go |
14881s | to seven against opponent like this that |
14884s | is world class performance from everyone |
14886s | on mville as well as the mental |
14888s | performance as well so shout out to |
14889s | callx the coach for getting those boys |
14891s | heads on right absolutely I mean hey |
14894s | look bracket reset that's kind of a side |
14896s | thing we're on that in the V review on |
14898s | Monday but this definitely the bracket |
14900s | reset series was fantastic let's ask the |
14903s | Des what they thought because I thought |
14904s | for sure it would have been Northwood on |
14906s | that bracket reset revenge tour but it |
14908s | wasn't the case I mean yes at the same |
14912s | time you can't blame him for just |
14914s | hanging on to the very ends they made |
14917s | marville work to the nth degree to take |
14920s | a single game a 7 and 1 half minute over |
14924s | overtime just to put North away just to |
14927s | for a single open to be able to put them |
14931s | away but you still have four more or |
14933s | three more to take along with Nationals |
14936s | I think this is a absolute Banger of a |
14939s | rivalry in the making chicka I |
14942s | absolutely agree with you I mean it all |
14944s | started literally from the summer that |
14946s | we've been talking about and then they |
14948s | dare to meet again and then now we have |
14951s | the bracket recent that we talked about |
14953s | and it goes to it and the series goes to |
14955s | it it was a fantastic series multiple |
14960s | Series today and it's just been a master |
14964s | class of Rocket League between every |
14966s | single player on the field everyone had |
14969s | a moment today and also at times teams |
14972s | struggled they had to adapt they had to |
14974s | change I mean it was just the perfect |
14977s | picture of Rocket League at times and |
14979s | the feelings that players can express |
14981s | and how we can feel on the back back end |
14984s | of thing so I I mean I couldn't have |
14986s | asked for a better start to our very |
14989s | first open of the Season well Taco |
14991s | listen if there was any indication that |
14993s | the Europeans have arrived in Collegiate |
14996s | rocket League this is the match to look |
15001s | to man North America can't have anything |
15003s | can they they're really just try have |
15005s | college ball anymore we're trying to |
15007s | have RCS last Worlds the EU team wins |
15009s | the EU team comes over here they don't |
15011s | even make it in we're thinking oh we're |
15012s | free and no still two Europeans but hey |
15015s | we're going to claim them speed relating |
15016s | wave you're now functionally going to be |
15018s | North Americans and you know what I'll |
15020s | take them I'll take whatever we can get |
15021s | but we still have Knight playing |
15023s | phenomenally fits so well into this |
15025s | rotation I had a lot of doubts about |
15027s | this roster at times because they're |
15029s | underperforming it seemed like in some |
15030s | tournaments taking sweeps against some |
15032s | or rather being beaten in sweeps in |
15034s | former tournaments changing up the |
15036s | roster in current lands in the preseason |
15038s | before fall also taking losses against |
15041s | teams I feel like they should beat but |
15042s | now feels like everything's dialed in |
15044s | this is what mville we were all |
15046s | terrified when that first post on |
15048s | socials went out announcing this roster |
15049s | and I think living up to potential is |
15051s | great way to be able to start your |
15052s | season Northwood might disagree on that |
15055s | I mean that the bar was always can they |
15058s | beat Northwood right we were even |
15060s | talking about it uh of course through |
15061s | several shows is that Northwood is the |
15064s | bar even if mville comes in with a bang |
15066s | or roster it will not mean anything |
15069s | until they can succeed past that |
15071s | Northwood bar and they have done it in a |
15073s | bracket reset uh 7 and 1/2 minute |
15077s | overtime an incredible series frankly |
15079s | even though it was a 4-1 it was still a |
15082s | banger series to watch and one that will |
15085s | we will remember for the course of this |
15087s | season but in the meantime let's see how |
15090s | the bracket turned out because now we |
15092s | are pretty much done and with the |
15094s | bracket as it is I mean there is so much |
15096s | to talk about in terms of particular |
15099s | matchups particular runs particular UPS |
15101s | that's occurred I mean again we point to |
15103s | to the Fisher run they are firmly in the |
15105s | mix as well now being able to contest |
15108s | Northwood but being able to take down |
15110s | essentially everyone in front of them of |
15112s | the top seats that we had Within summer |
15114s | series they were able to take down West |
15115s | Virginia uh akan and of course the new |
15118s | Europeans as well in Concord plus Helix |
15121s | and honestly that is a run that I am |
15123s | looking forward to for the next open but |
15125s | all eyes right now in devont are on |
15128s | mville yeah absolutely imagine that you |
15131s | know it's early enough in the season you |
15133s | got the points and you do it in such a |
15135s | way that smacks around one of the old |
15138s | guards of crl why not put the whole |
15140s | league on notice well I think if there's |
15142s | anything that I am personally worried of |
15145s | uh as let's take a look at our standings |
15147s | now because now we are officially |
15149s | finished with the points I am scared |
15152s | that marville has accidentally Unearthed |
15155s | a monster in Northwood blue a motivated |
15159s | Northwood that will look to decimate the |
15162s | entirety of Collegiate Rock leak now |
15164s | that there is a firm Challenger to their |
15167s | Throne this is the point distribution |
15169s | that we have mville collecting the full |
15171s | 16 points as they have won the first crl |
15174s | fall open and Northwood collecting 12 |
15177s | fiser collecting nine Concord collecting |
15180s | six and it goes on from there anyone who |
15182s | didn't make top eight will still receive |
15185s | a point so it's why you guys need to |
15187s | sign up so you can at least make a reach |
15189s | for that single point and keep yourself |
15192s | in contention taco and when I look at |
15194s | this all the points they all matter this |
15197s | is a cumulative like aspect of how this |
15201s | format works yeah I mentioned in the |
15203s | intro and that's exactly why when you |
15205s | look at these yes you're going to see |
15206s | familiar names but all those teams |
15208s | getting one point often times are the |
15211s | teams that just creep above everybody |
15213s | else when you try to get in that top |
15214s | eight in the past there are going to be |
15216s | teams that will lose if you think about |
15218s | it fiser came in third here nine points |
15221s | that team was one goal away from not |
15223s | even getting into the top eight and |
15225s | finishing out with just a measly a bit |
15227s | of points in the on scor catalog there's |
15230s | going to be so many battles that are |
15232s | going to be fought in those qualifiers |
15233s | in the lower semis in those fall matches |
15236s | and I think that's why these teams need |
15238s | to understand that yeah maybe they're |
15239s | not going to be the favorites to win |
15240s | they might not be able to get in that |
15242s | top eight all the time but getting in at |
15244s | all being able to get into those deep |
15246s | runs are going to make all the |
15247s | difference particularly after this our |
15249s | just our first event of many and Cha out |
15251s | of all of these teams who do we see kind |
15254s | of getting that regain Arc for the next |
15257s | open because I think with how bracket |
15259s | went there are certainly some matches |
15260s | that could have gone very differently |
15263s | who do you see as maybe being the uh I |
15265s | guess most underrated that we might see |
15267s | in our next open ooh underrated it's a |
15270s | hard one I'm hoping for a little bit |
15271s | more run from akan in particular we've |
15274s | seen them H in the past same thing with |
15276s | Ball State both are seven and eight I |
15279s | think they have that kind of Fisher Navy |
15281s | potential and going a little bit far |
15283s | farther in their runs uh in particular |
15286s | so my eyes are on acronym B state if |
15288s | they can make a better than a seventh |
15290s | eighth finish well this is how the point |
15293s | distribution has gone so far but |
15295s | everyone remember that it all started |
15299s | with just the regular Collegiate team |
15302s | this is an Open Bracket which means you |
15304s | can sign up at any time to compete for |
15308s | this season where you can get experience |
