Just to say I'm not falling

I got a fever taking over me
Got me cold on a yellow sprain
I got a 45.5 point of edge over here.
I got a reason on me of the dead.
I got this endless blood through my veins.
I hear the voice of God crying, change, change, change.
I got my tails wide running through my veins
I'm the other folks looking hard, cryin' shame, shame, shame
Preachin' man, trying to save my soul
So I shot him down, and then I died I'm a son of a saint, and I won't shout

I can't blame the stars or superstitions, cause you know I'm not the type
I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm crazy but you're wrong
Feeling as if I got you still in my mind
Don't think I'm dreaming

Yeah, it's amazing love
This is something that a man straight up will get
You're not ghostly nor young
Mm.
I don't know what you're thinking.
But I'm crazy but you're born.
Your feelings kept you caught just in the night.
Don't think I'm dreaming.
Cause I've been waiting for so long.
And you've all I've got.
You've all gone through my mind.
There are some things that just feel so right

Dream League Season 29 is brought to you by DHL and Chex.
Welcome to this special edition of Dream League Season 29, ladies and gentlemen, we got an
next per day of Dota 2 coming your way yesterday was the end of the group stages.
Wrong!
That's a tie!
I know.
And we need to untie it.
This was better in my head.
Untie it.
There we go.
What the hell was that?
I mean we're JQ's, Elekos and Kezzy, and we're gonna talk about some tie breakers
because we have got ourselves a three-way tying groupie and that's what we're here to solve.
Jankos, good morning. How are you doing?
Good morning. I'm great. I'm really happy to be working here with some of my best friends.
Oh!
A guy I haven't seen all tournament long is my fellow co-host.
Lacoste, what's it been like being promoted to co-host?
It's been good.
I felt like I was not working at all, and now I have to work really hard being the normal analyst.
In this chair, all you have to do is pretend.
Yeah.
Make a fortune.
What are you talking about? It's a lot of work.
Slacks taught me the greatest co-host of all time.
You have to work very hard
Now I'm glad you're here we didn't get the chance to work with this guy and even shever like I know we've done
Tournaments that we work together, but we actually don't which kind of sucks. Maybe today. We find out why they do that
No chemistry
Are you doing Kizu I'm doing pretty good. Yeah, we've got we've got the tablet. We've got this one
So my day is phenomenal. Thank you.
You got access to that. We got a couple of new ones out as you've probably already seen.
So you'll probably see that during the entire day.
And this could be an entire day because we got a three-way tie.
And the way a three-way tie is solved, we'll get to that.
But it's like we got a lot of best of ones coming your way.
Before we do that, obviously, for these teams, it's very important that they win the tiebreaker.
Actually, for some, more important than others.
others because it's a final stop for the EPT. There's a lot of points on the line and
after today we can already assign a bunch of points because we need to see some teams
potentially after this group stage qualify. There's a chance. Mathematically, I'm sure.
I didn't do the maths.
Sivir, this is make or break for some of these teams. Some teams that went through are very
happy about that, you know, not as serious, of course, on there looking incredibly good.
Niku, we keep saying it, one of the best players, we, young player, we want him to do well,
we want him to ascend. He's doing it. He's good. He's really doing it. This guy's good.
He's getting his team into that top 12. Actually, can we bring this leaderboard back? Is that
a, is that a possibility? Do we have the technology? We do. Yesterday, when I saw this, playtime
was still on here. Because a bunch of points already made it out of groups, so they already
got some guaranteed points in playtime is not out of the groups yet potentially so
they are not on the air. Yeah they got demoted. Tundra and Xtreme already guaranteed through.
Why don't they just roll over? Just let them get the top 10. This for me is also like
Miles and OG are still like top 10. Yeah. Like I haven't even seen these two teams like do well
in a while. Well they're not here. I know. I understand but they might just you know
They're hoping that the other teams I can overtake them just take the L and suck so hopefully for them
You know that happens, but maybe it doesn't
Maybe it doesn't yesterday. We saw some dirty, too
We have we have a couple of a couple of theories that we wanted to highlight to you guys because
Then we I will say we've something we've had some crazy
Crazy games and in this
Craziest beast mass performance pretty much no this is the game one actually so it wasn't the craziest craziest because
Because in this game all he needed to do is not cast Ror, which Rubik did steal and prolonged
the game for good like 15 minutes, pretty much, because this was a 70 minute game.
Look at the lead, look at the lead right now.
This game turns into like a 70 minute clown fiesta.
And they got a bigger lead steal after this.
At some point it wasn't like 40 something K?
Yeah, I mean this game was, it had everything.
Like we thought it was over after like 20 minutes and it went to like a 70 minute show.
And this is the one Lacoste talk, Lacoste Miro had a 10 minute helm of Overlord.
So the whole map just exploded for Nigma.
And in this game, they had no chance.
This game was done so within the first 8 minutes.
I was also surprised that they decided to give them snapfire in that first game because
we saw GPK earlier.
Oh, this was the funniest part actually.
They forgot.
They were pushing the high ground and then they realized that you could be camera on
Katiaomi and he was like, guys, we don't have ages.
So they went from this spot, walked into the Roche pit, picked up Aegis and then came back.
But you leave the Aegis in the pit for a very long time, does the timer kick down?
Yes.
Oh.
Professional eSports athletes by the way, getting paid.
People are saying that they have too high of a salary, people on Reddit are saying that
for a good reason they can't even pick up the Aegis.
Yeah.
That's a tough one.
It doesn't take down, but when Roche responds it instead, it spawns, like it goes away.
So technically, you can't wait too long.
Technically, you can't wait too long, but you can't wait.
a little you can't if you can somehow defend the roast pit or everyone in the game forgets it works
Everybody in the game for guys ago. I mean, that's uh
That's a strategy. We have now be an extreme also another series that we'd like to highlight here. What a
God tier performance from Niku. I'm gonna steal this one because yeah, I
I was watching like
I'll go back and I'll watch replays from player perspective. I was trying to watch this from ame's perspective
Yep, and I was so impressed with Niku in both of the games that I just kept clicking to his like to see the
Absolutely cool shit that he was doing like legitimately
This guy is the best player in this entire in this entire lobby like it looked like he was smurfing in both of the games
He carried his team so incredibly hard
I think you also got to give credit to extreme gaming dirt choke potential is through the roof in a lot of situations
Yeah, they had like some fussy moves
I gotta say I mean like as much as you praise me because I agree I like this guy a lot especially on Kaz and invoker
I'm in game 2 on kids. It's like he was playing a pub like he showed he goes to the enemy triangle takes a watcher and
Then keeps farming so they're just he didn't kill him
You know why he was cas game 2 because he sees a guy style on him so hard with Kaz the first game is ego
He's got a show. He's the Kaz guy too. I'm the Kaz master, but you you're not the cat
You can't like legit in that game the next game Niku was
Styling on him as invoker
Yeah, predicting where he was going to like tether to and stuff like that on the kez because you could tell there was something going on
There's some like weird like kez like he knows yeah like EP in competition
I was gonna say the actual you know measuring
They took the rulers out you know why the camera to you and I started
But Navi is already through. They're already guaranteed upper bracket. Just like a bunch of other teams.
There is one upper bracket slot left remaining in Group B up for grabs. Everybody is in that is going to play in this Tive Raker.
But one team, again, will start in the upper bracket. Extreme Tundra and Playtime were in a three-way tie.
And that means we got some best of one's play out potentially multiple times.
We are gonna start things off with extreme versus playtime and the winner of that's gonna go up against tundra
And then the one who hasn't gone up against tundra will go up against tundra after that
I love the Largo I'm sorry
And it is I mean if a team wins twice
Yeah, this is very
Recycling sign
And we were recycling we do that here in Sweden. We do yeah, they they we
I can't really cycle a lot because I also became Swedish when I came here. I also know what the Majol kids as well
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I love Majolk in the morning. It's really good. It is
Especially in Kosti or maybe some Indian breakfast day. Every time I go to the grocery store to buy milk
I end up with some goddamn yogurt
Like anybody says me Majolk on it. It's yogurt. What is this country doing?
Drinking yogurt. I think it's actually quite good.
But, um, either way, uh, we have predicted the last few days, we're gonna predict today as well, the cost!
That's the same graphics yesterday, is it not? You're gonna change. Yeah, we're just recycling.
We're just recycling graphics as well.
Jenkins, my strategy is working very well, thanks to you.
You're doing the opposite of him.
Apart from when Aurora is playing, in which case I will join him on going with Aurora.
This is cool for me because I get to see what if I was like not lost where I would be at this is nice for me
I respect tsunami though for
Late time believer he believes in Frank my boy Frank in the off-lane tsunami
He's got his eyes on Frank fan. That makes sense like he's been following him for years
I don't think Frank knows that you know, he's been following him. There's been restraint orders. They're putting on him now. Yeah a
A serious question though. How can everybody be so confident in Tundra? I don't know, I'm a...
It's time. Like they can't be... Like because they showed some like really bad performances.
Yeah.
When you talk about Tundra, you always expect them to do well.
At Malakia, they bombed out. Maybe this is what broke them, not having pure during Malakia.
And then they just, I don't know, they just couldn't recover from this.
And then they started to play bad again. And I think the streak is gonna end here.
Yeah, they talked about it. Like Ari said it in the interview, they're just flying bad.
And sometimes it happens because, well, he mentioned the standard situation that you
were talking about, but yeah, I feel like sometimes it just happens, like you're just
Yeah, but why is everybody believing that it's real stuff happening today?
Because they've done this before. I feel like people are just looking at the data, right?
They're looking at the history, like Tundra has had bad performances in group stages.
Some people didn't even wake up production shows it's four best.
No, don't break the case, babe, you know?
I mean, the Yunami really didn't choose Ptandre.
Yeah, he did.
I mean, for Ptandre, at least they're the team with the highest feeling,
and the more I watch Xtreme, the more I lose faith in them.
Like, they do well for like 50 minutes,
and then they just somehow find a way with a 30K lead to just throw the game.
Playtime, I think they can do it, but they also need to beat both teams, so...
It's difficult.
Playtime has the momentum factor.
I think they're feeling pretty good.
Also, looking at their matches,
The big issue that they have historically speaking, and historically I mean like last
two tournaments, is when the enemy team is farming and choking them out, they just don't
know what to do.
They just stand together on some high ground and hope the enemy team fights them.
And if you do fight them, they beat you.
Like they're really good at fighting.
There's also a lot of more data on the team.
You want to know how many games they played on PlayThem because they were South American,
Regis, during Valakia, they were also playing qualifiers for this Dream League, another
playing Dream League plus another tournament as well so they played in 7.41, they played
119, they're perfect in that game.
Compared to Extreme Gaming who played 59, that's crazy difference.
And you can see it in their gameplay that they've got a lot of practice because what
I was saying is not true anymore.
From what I've seen, they're actually really good at smoking and sweeping across the map,
You know one guy keeping somewhere and then there's a smoke across them. These like smart
Is it because I'm the co-op. I'm on camera. Yeah, he's talking
He's my name
Hey, hey time or like pray time
We are gonna focus on our first series is gonna be playtime versus
It was, um, it was extreme and I think it was, you got some extra information to tell us about it.
Definitely. As the tech analyst, I've done my homework because we need to look at the two teams.
So for playtime, I looked at some of the stuff that they do and the heroes that they pick.
So here you've got the graphic as, of course, you know, one of Jenkins' favorite players
because he is kind of weird, a bit of an animal.
Sometimes you can't tell if he's good or bad.
The skull field next to Fasten, undefeated, he kind of parks on this hero.
Then you've got the Whips Necro. This hero overall is so good.
Honestly, more Necro. Might see it here.
And the El Misho, Misho, Misho Enchantress.
Six games, 66% win rate. You know, pretty good.
Maybe they can bust out some of those.
But then on the contrary, we've got extreme gaming.
Because they've got long games, Giver. Very long games.
Their average match duration is 50 minutes.
I don't know a recent tournament where a team has played that long.
What do they, what do they lose?
Exactly, that's the problem.
Not only do you have long games, but apart from the one that's really two hours.
One hour forty seconds.
You're like, diabolical.
Yeah, like, what is this?
And the thing is too, sometimes you get like,
oh, we're playing all these long games,
so you know something is kind of wrong,
and then four of them you lose as well.
It really gets into your head.
You're like, we can't really like clear out games where we're ahead,
but when we're behind, we're not the good at making comebacks.
I think they're in their own head right now,
because they're not playing good at all.
So you're telling me if Extreme goes to one hour thirty minutes,
That's what we're hoping for today.
Yeah, 90 minutes.
My boy, he's going to do it.
The 90 minute game.
You know, considering he's Gigi'd out at 20 minutes, it's crazy.
Their average game time is 50.
Because if you take those outliers out, it might even be closer to an hour.
Yeah, it was just unheard of.
We had an interview with Miero yesterday and we asked him about his game
against Extreme Game of the Year series.
And he's like, yeah, we wanted to practice some late game as well.
And yesterday when they were playing against Nigma Galaxy, when the game also went 70 minutes, so
maybe there's something to it, maybe teams do prefer to, you know, push it into the late game
and have the pure chaos just evolve. Pure chaos, maybe as well. And I think they're more clean.
Kezu, you're not the only one that did his homework. It's the first time ever, by the way. Good job.
Has also done some homework. Let's check it out. Yeah, we did. I tried to also do homework with
Different stats before this. This is something that I noticed for because their hero pool is very small
But this is hero puddle. He basically played on NTS only sanking once everything else
You can see some overlap between the pango and storm spirit the dark mago
He has his vishiros his vipers and especially his conca
But if you check the priority of the picks that they've been playing
NTS, he gets absolutely zero priority. His hero has been first phase 11 times out of
15 games, which is not something that there's a reason why they're not doing so well.
Like he's not doing so well compared to Dark Mago, who gets his hero picked a lot in the second phase,
but also gets a lot of better matchups. NTS, he's kind of on his own island, like,
Fuck you, you do whatever you want, but try to figure it out because we are not giving you the better matchup.
Is that not very bad considering he's supposed to be the one...
Yes.
I mean, that's probably where the games last so long.
Yes.
Because he's supposed to be the tempo setter and he can't if he's always getting bad matchups.
Exactly.
That's at least one of the reasons for sure.
Like, I was, for how early his hero is picked, from the games that I've seen, he's done fairly well.
He has.
I would say like, he's had some off-games, but looking at that graphic, when your first phase big like that,
like that every game. It's like well screw you brother you're on your own. He's not doing too bad.
Yeah it's worth trying to not do that you know because it there's got to be a sacrificial lamb
on every team. One core is not going to have a good game and it depends on the type of player.
Uh looks like with the the pillow matches his pants so I thought he just had a big gut like I
thought he was this guy starts getting a salary from playtime and he just plump it out. No it's
It's just a pillow. Yeah, it depends. It depends on the team
But it's definitely worth trying because the mid laner in this meta is a very important role
Like you're kind of doing everything. You're setting the tempo and you have to carry the game, too
It's not easy. Well for this game, they've already changed the tune a little bit unless it's Rubik, of course
But unlikely we got extreme gaming with their first pick going for the Rubik playtime
Instantly answered it with the Elmishio enchantress that Kizu also talks about already
in terms of the bands nothing really that stands out maybe the the pango and a
respect band on the NTS tinker there as well this is good they didn't first
face his hero so everything is Gucci for extreme gaming chances of them winning
are much higher double there was a stats shiver maybe you remember a couple of
tournaments ago that when NTS doesn't die in the first six or seven minutes
They're in?
Yeah, they pretty much win.
I forgot.
They shot him!
That just flunked at me.
I want to point something out.
Can we go back to Scofield's camera please?
Because I have a stat.
You guys did your research.
Technology?
I did my research.
He has a 100% win rate when he doesn't have a shirt on.
This is not looking good.
That only happened once.
And a 100% win rate, Cheever.
Okay.
This makes me think the vibes are off.
are off, he's feeling like he's got to be a little too professional today.
Did you know?
He's not in flow state.
When you are colder, your blood flows through your body faster because your blood vessels
are a little bit tighter and that also is good for your brain because you're just processing
information.
Because someone's got to contact Stofield, take your shirt off, your blood flow is going
to be faster, your vessels are going to undilate, get that blood to your brain quicker.
Get that undilation going.
just your brain you need it in different parts of your body as well the heart
hands are very important yes yes yes very good thank you for that
Viper and Beast Marth
sounds good
and the draw ranger ban extreme gaming is one of the few teams that has been
making draw ranger work consistently in the they're the only it has been tried
out by other teams but they're the only team that like goes for it consistently
I think if you're going to 50 minutes every game with the hero, you should probably reconsider
Because from like from what I've seen draw ranger is in all of these games that you're showing a lot of them
She's in a lot of the games and all me dude. He's just hitting creeps
He is the most funny carry player to watch in terms of he sees a fight that like doesn't look good
Even remotely if it just doesn't the first two seconds doesn't start. He's out. He's
He's gone.
He just peeps right out.
It's something to behold.
It reminds me of all the nightfall.
He would do that thing.
Yeah.
And immediately, he peeps to the triangle.
The fight is over.
And Axe Phoenix, a lot of the mageo between these new Rubik as well.
I think Axe became much more popular because some of the carries are also popular.
We are seeing these Range carries, these Drowrangers, Windrangers.
And Kaz became super popular this tournament, so having a blade mail buyer feels really
nice.
And it's also very difficult for position 5 to trade on the side whenever you play against
Axe that makes your position 4's life so much easier.
It also, I think it's quite a good laner against Ench, like you help your Rubik a lot in this
matchup first of all.
You can creep skip later, Ench also usually wants to like leave the area, so then you
can just creep skip.
And Chinese Phoenix?
Best Phoenix.
Like throughout the history of Dota, you know, your FYs and whoever played in Vici, like
DY back in the game as well, like these guys were really, really good, so I like this opening start from extreme gaming, I think so far, they're cooking.
How are you guys feeling about double range support? Because I feel like for this tournament we're seeing that a lot more.
Where the, I guess like the kill combo is a lot requiring the mid and the off laner rather than like the supports being in there for the kill combo.
I mean triple range first three picks for a playtime and then the mid is a spirit like this seems to be the meta right now
It just looks like me Lee heroes are most me Lee supports are not that good
I feel a clock and toss house good and the rest they look weak like even tiny support
We don't see too much which I think is also why the mid matters so much
Maybe that's another thing that like leads into what Locos showed how often I first taking the mid
Yeah, like you need the guy that then ties it to range guys together like an ember pango
Maybe a storm you know these heroes can work but this double pig is kind of cool
And it's why I also like the first phase ban on the tinker
I think like when you play into Necro
Like now you don't have a offline slot anymore that can counter this hero same with the draw ranger actually like drow
What if in a very cool pick on 18 to so I like play times prep here?
I think he'd be quite dog shit in a game. I guess necro even embers
They're like
I think against necro. It's
Okay, I did this box has been making this down for a couple days. I feel like it's
We're loud today
I mean so TV versus Necro. It's quite weak like the first 20 ish minutes
But when you get to like three four slot then you're fine
I don't know if I like it that you I'm sure they're better if you had like some saving support if you had some ring master
Shadow Demon, like Snowball, but you can easily get 3% of problem is you don't have that much burst damage
I guess that's good. Your Enchanters, your Embersprit, it's damage over time. Huddling can be some explosive damage
Some burst with the ulti, but other than that they are lacking. If I see Nekro and Murata's in the pool
That's the hero I would want to play, not TV
Yeah, of course. So oh my goodness. This is like the best hero in the game against Nekro. Well, not for Amit.
He plays it. Not for this game. Yeah
You think this is good about it. I think this is good for all me. Everything's good for all me
Gg. That's good for all makes he gets to go into the next game faster. That's also carry that game
Yeah, yeah, he has really been enjoying the
late game heroes the heroes to just farm on the other side of the map away from his team and watch them do stupid shit
Like TV fits that more
But it doesn't feel like it's the best for the game
Yeah, you know I agree with that. I suppose
Muerta has been kind of falling off in general a lot of people are punishing it by
Rotating on it very early sending the five to the lane through the portal. Yeah, I think they have some good options
I think Queen of Pain could work really well even Primal Beast
I think Primal Beast other than steering chains
You're not really afraid of anything in this game
The lane might not might be slightly annoying because of the chains, but other than that
I think it's a pretty free game you have unlimited damage against Necro
Queen of Pain is no good laner against Ember Spirit and literally no stuns. I like the Quapa. I think Quapa's good
How about a Snuff Fire? That also works. That's also one of the better matchups overall
I forgot about this hero. It obliterates. It obliterates any melee mid laners and also against Necro
You are a very sluggish hero
So any kind of a setup like 1-2 combo from Axe, even Rubik is gonna get you a kill. I like this a lot
Because also like Necro, you want to like dumpster this hero like minute 6 to 15
You just want him to push the wave, go to the sidecams, push the wave, go to the sidecams
Like now Axe, like Axe after losing the lane, his snap can walk over there and just like pump the ult out
I think that's good, I like that
For playtime maybe some underlord, looks good
You're good against PB, not against Pyrobeck, I'd say
Yeah, that's true
I'm okay with Primal again
This is also good, this is Frank's classic
something to deal with the back lines. You can find Snapfire, stop her from using the ulti.
It's kind of disengaged, kind of a yule scepter as well, that is good against Act once he blinks in before BKB good against the Illusions as well.
But I feel like this is a very difficult lineup to play in terms of, let's say Dark Mago,
he gets shut down because he's playing into Snapfire. How do you play the game?
Yeah, they need their supports, I think, to maybe change the mid-match up a bit.
you do have ench that can walk me like feelings of course you can walk over but
rubik isn't the best like mid defender because I will say if XG they need to
like help out in the early game that their lanes stay good like when brew
gets six you're safe and is in trouble if Nekor has a free early game down
bottom your axe isn't doing much so I'm looking a lot at nothing to say in this
early game. It's one of the few times he gets the last pick for his team he's not
over all last pick he got the counter DM. Yeah it's cool it's definitely the
x-factor like he could snowball the whole game and
Rumi side lanes like Lacoste was saying you know obviously Necro versus axe in a vacuum is
Very Necro favorite. Yeah, you can easily take off the battle hunger. You dumpster melee heroes in lane
It's a little hard to chase him when he's wave cutting, but
This is where the mids get involved right like I expect a full breakdown of the laying phase a lot of
of action, a lot of fighting, and hypothetically the team that has the snap made against the
melee hero should be pretty happy with that, right?
Yeah.
It should be the case.
I would lean on XG.
I think when I look at all of their spell damage into the Necro, I think it's good.
But if playtime can weather the early game, maybe get some couple of four-stars glimmers
save the Necro in the early game, I think that's a good shot for them to win this game.
Yeah, Necro is a very underrated hero coming into this tournament.
I thought we're going to be seeing it more.
started at Valakia. I think it was you and me Jenkins that wanted to see the hero.
I think you suggested it almost every time.
Yeah, we were ahead, but I feel like this hero is very good, especially if he is off to a good start,
and in this one he should have a good laning stage.
And in terms of long game potential, how is this one looking?
TB definitely is the king in the like 45 plus minute mark, but then when it gets like hyper late
game and Necro has a double repersize with the talent level 25, Necro is insane in the late game.
to okay and find out how this one game will play out it's a best-of-one winner
of this will play up against under to see if they can already secure their
upper bracket slots for this game we're heading over to the pixel
here we go ladies and gentlemen start to get the action of these best-of-ones
One's first one, of course, here, team.
Late time versus extreme.
Hell yeah.
Bob, what do we have then?
We have again with that last pick coming in,
but nothing to say.
The mid, oh my goodness, yeah.
We're dead right now.
We're dead right now.
I can't even think right now.
That was a cool accent.
It is.
He's got that cool little tail of the little helmet.
I'm not gonna rock it out of this right now.
I gotta be honest.
Who has the badder line?
Who is the baddest here?
I'm a little worried for playtime of how they're going to end the game, I think they have to be pretty chaotic, cause a lot of chaos overall just to put the pressure on XG, cause I do like what XG's actually set themselves up with.
I was pretty heavily leading for playtime before seeing drafts today, but yeah, XG, this is a pretty strong draft, the snap fire should be able to set tempo, TP set up for success if he gets the late stages, however, playtime does have a very strong draft if they can get the ball rolling and get a lot of early kills, but if they don't, that's what I'm concerned.
And I want to see what they do for mid, right?
Are they going to send like a second hero super early?
Are they going to send Enchantress creep?
Are they going to do some type of ganks?
Or they're just going to be like, Dark Mago, good luck.
You're versus Snapfire, you're going to suffer.
We're going to just have to endure by playing the side lanes and figure something out later
on.
Don't have to see what the choice is for playtime.
Let's see.
Is this Snapfire?
There's those melee.
It's brutal.
Yeah, this is the sort of scenario in which Snap can do crazy stuff.
And obviously one of the reasons why XT was pretty quick to pick that up as their last
hit for the draft this time.
So this is kind of cool, they're sending the Enchanter top versus the Phoenix in the
TV and they're putting the Hoodwick bottom versus that axe.
So a bit interesting to see that.
So what's the reason then?
Maybe something with the illusions with the Enchanters, perhaps it feels like you can
trade more effectively.
They're gonna make the aggressive move on to XT Nova.
They might just be able to get this kill actually.
He's okay. He's got the fairy fire list of us enough to stop them from chasing Frank
I'm just starting to take a little bit too much damage from our mate
Yeah, I mean the input if he wants I'm wondering whose build he goes to because usually don't go impass
But it used to be a play that people did it versus TB is taking the illusions or all you know
You just really impass us around. Yeah, most people do not do this anymore
So I'm wondering what the choice because I'm not sure the entire reason of why he is gonna be or maybe just taking some creeps
I mean, this is a really good one that the camps open. So
Okay, just to put a little bit more pressure I guess it would be the case
And then they have a stun bottom so they can actually protect the Necro. I guess that's maybe one of the reasons okay
and I
Guess right as well some of the early damage really that comes out from the whole bling. It's it's about the day corn shot
Right, it's more damage. He's got pretty high armor. That's true. Actually. I like that
Let's take the acorn shot elsewhere
Yeah, and then overall that the spam that comes down here versus axe and rubik it adds up very much
Just get them first blood, FY's in trouble.
They're gonna try and hide in the trees, Wittz.
Can he chase this down one more?
Do it, he's got it.
First blood for Wittz on the bottom lane.
Look at that regen.
25 per second, just from the kill.
Back up, juicy.
Yeah, this lane should have a lot of success down here.
I think, I don't know, for me both look either one.
I feel like it's gonna be very good down there, right with the inch or the hood wink.
Yeah.
Uh, versus the axe, but...
Okay.
And mid.
11-5, so this guy's already starting to add up.
Yeah, potential damage does become rather hard for these melee's to lane against if
nothing to say keeps up the harassment.
At least something like the Ember Spirit has something to absorb some of the damage, because
even the pango, it was not enough absorption, it really truly was not, so this one is a
little bit better here.
They got to be careful while they bounce those acorns.
That's where it truly does start to head up.
Now top play, Frank's going to stop for up here.
So I guess the choice with them is really just wanting to make sure that Wits has the best time ever.
You know what Frank? You're going to be slapped a little bit. That's just going to be the case if they stop playing something like this.
Because down the line this game, what are sort of the biggest threats for Wits?
Is this carry, Nefcro? When you look at this game overall, if you're the Nefcro and the situation, who are you scared of?
snap early right it's the biggest fear eventually the phoenix getting a maybe
potential early vessel could be something early but they also have to
worry about but it's the snap essentially and then later down the
lines it's the TV with the Scotty right show to keeping that brain for the
meta and yeah been able to pummel into it and that's my worry really if playtime
isn't able to set tempo which I mean they have been able to do a lot of times
but XG's been a as we've seen they have a 50-minute average game time so they've
been able to all games pretty pretty well even if they have a one all of them and
Here comes that move, so they're gonna bring the Enchanters very early.
Nothing to say, he's looking pretty dead.
Yeah, they got him.
Yep.
Taking down in the mid, and this is gonna be big news for Dark Margot, who's already kind of holding on, like, he's not getting...
He ain't getting dumpstered.
Pretty good.
And maybe...
He's doing okay.
And honestly, that's probably another reason the Enchanters was put towards the top lane, right?
Easier access to get a creep and just sneak behind, rather than going from the other angle.
Doesn't mean Frank's on his own, but as it seems, looks like Frank's gonna be able to walk away from this.
They don't really even get that close to killing him, so Frank's fine, even when he's left on his own.
And Mago drags the wave.
He's doing very good in this mid-match-up actually.
And Mishou is probably going to make that rotation again relatively early,
with his next creep if you would like to.
And Frank, you know, you just tell him, you know, you're going to get back.
But it's necessary when we're playing versus the snapfire, as he dodges the cookie.
He's dodging a lot, don't Mago.
He's doing well.
You know, this lad's definitely played against the mid-snap before in his end, but...
It's definitely coming out of the pubs a lot right now.
Amé?
I'm thinking a huge amount of damage here.
They're able to kill him off!
Wow!
Very impressive.
This is how Misho with these early moves, heading over to the mid, as soon as he's back on top, helping them kill off our mates, looking pretty good there on the edge.
Misho's been owning, honestly. Every single time I watch these two supports, they kind of dictate the pace really effectively for their team.
So exactly what they need to do in this game as well, too, is put that pressure on early.
Don't want this game to be some kind of stagnant game where there aren't a lot of kills. They want kills a lot on this playtime lineup.
He's doing very well.
Yeah, just trading super nicely back against nothing to say.
Oh!
Punished here though, he's got a slight of fist.
Yeah, he does slight of fist, doesn't matter.
Nothing to say will win the trade this time.
Doing the math.
Little things coming into play, right?
I've been seeing a lot of these Sapphires doing this.
This is buying the early ring of protection.
Skullfield will come and get a free kill from this guy.
He'll take that one, yep.
Little extra protection, right?
Two armor, definitely making the difference there
for the Sapphire to play there versus the Temper.
And Skofiel's gonna be super high level now.
Top lane, Armade.
Has he got any help?
Ex-Nova's coming across.
But with the mud golem out as such...
...an extra couple of stuns coming in, not enough to kill him.
Early neutral item, Ex-Nova's been able to farm up.
He's got the Ashley just shielded, ready to get some extra protection for Armade.
But it's a lot of damage that they're dishing out up here.
Even though Frank is quote-unquote sacked.
He's putting some decent pressure onto this terrible item.
These lanes are going very well.
Let's go see if Skofill has come across back towards the mid to help out.
And if we sit down for FY, Remnant bought from Dark Margo trying to finish nothing to say off the field.
What the kiss is looking for Skofill, but Skofill's juke-ing of the tree lines doesn't matter, still gets hit.
Same time though, Dark Margo able to focus, nothing to say, get that bigger kill.
They're owning right now, Owen. The fact that this Ember spear is ahead of this Sapphire tells a massive tale
of what this mid-game is probably going to look like, because the Sapphire was the one supposed to be the one to dictate pace,
He's also shot down the Necrown, so if he hasn't shot down the Ember,
repercussions could quickly kind of slow down.
And Wich is having free farm down point.
And I imagine what these three cause, right, that the Brew, Ember, and the Necrophos.
If they start getting the pull rolling, these are heroes that can really get into the face of a Terrablade
at a point where the Terrablade doesn't want to have them in his face.
And bottom, X-XS, he's just dead even before level six on the Necrown,
so Co-Field comes in and it's around the wisdom of...
And that Margot, they are smashing this strategy.
I managed to swing across him, might just find a fly, see if he's got enough.
Looks like he has an occasion, little on the manor so didn't quite have enough to commit for the kill.
But pushes the Rupic away, double wisdom.
They're getting crazy now.
They're effectively, I feel like they're winning all three lanes almost, top.
Sure, Frank's getting sacked a bit but he's six already at this point, so that's kind of a big win for him as well.
This is really nice teamwork coming out from him, and Skowfield is also level six on the hoodwink at seven minutes.
Sharpshooter could kill almost any of these guys.
That sounds like a bit of a nightmare for Armei, right?
You know, you bring his solo plus one top, I mean, he's maybe on his own and de-catch him in the jungle.
Like, if he's here, he literally solo kills Armei.
Armei, he's got some pretty scary moments in the upcoming minutes.
He'll have to be very careful, it's the terrible late.
They're looking for the dive, looking to pressure these towers early on.
They don't have the greatest way to push towers in general on their lineup,
but just like this they will be able to get them as Frank dragging the waves just finding it's over
at the same time just gotta fill pigs off and fly it's not over trying to run one more hit will do it
i mean he's gonna put the split he's got a planning oh my goodness they have to put the split as well
uh just to be able to make sure that he can get out of there the finding kills up and down the map
Not a whole lot that XG can do right now and could be concerning. Yeah, nothing to say starts to fall behind on this mid snap
He already has fallen behind in my opinion right versus the flameguard now
He can't actually go for the big pop damage that you usually want to do versus these mids
It's gonna absorb a lot of it
He's also getting all the power runes and they're taking the mid tower. I play time is playing this to utmost perfection
I take that tier one going down in a purpose or three nine minutes
Against this sort of snap situation
Really cool stuff
And Michelle's still being annoying in the enemy jungle too.
We should be able to find him surely.
Four of them on top of him.
Easy lane, but not enough.
He was six there, but the Untouchable might have been enough to take him over to survive,
but four heroes have attention to kill an Enchantress.
I mean, I might just go for X-XS down bottom.
Easy.
He's gonna be coming in to try and help out.
Get the call off, Kisses as well.
What a blast!
Got him!
We'll manage to get the scythe out before he falls, so we'll be the one for one.
Nothing to say though, now. Left alone.
He needs further backup coming in.
It's coming.
Dark Mago does have remnants to play with, has the Arcane Root as well, should be able to back up and reset.
Good trade there, XXS. Finally they get something good going on the board for them, they kill Wits.
But what a beastly early game, the Relics already finished up.
Ember at a fantastic 800 ahead of the Snapfire.
And all thanks to those rotations from Skullfield and from El Misha to put the pressure on to nothing to say.
Quiet so far from FY. Hasn't been able to really help out his buddy, in particular who's been getting dove and pressured.
Doesn't at least have that soul ring finished up.
Overall, Snapfire is a hero that just, you want to play pretty far ahead in general, especially if you are versus that mid-match up, that melee.
So being shut down like this is gonna hurt.
As he said, that mid-game quite a bit here.
Even though they did get that one kill in the Necro, which is very good,
he's still gonna have this Radiance timing at a pretty insane pace.
Right on 12 minutes, alright.
After he takes this tower, he should have it finished up.
Coming close to the ambush spread, seems a little bit scary right now.
Gonna try and turn.
Just gonna close the gap with a lot to do, so remnants of the ready.
Might be able to chase him out.
He's got another remnants in 5.
That's got slight change onto the bow for them.
It's gonna take down pretty low to the battle hunger, but it won't quite kill him.
Can walk away from the three of them.
Wow, that was super close.
They really wanted that kill. They spent a lot of time chasing it.
And yeah, that's the Radiance.
Pretty much done.
Pre-12 minutes.
50 more gold for Wits.
Midas on Frank as well.
Oh, and they are absolutely crushing this early game.
And kind of how they have to in this one too, right?
Like, don't want this game to be nulled down versus XG.
You don't want the snapfire to do what she's been doing. They take to all the boxes it feels like right now
Yeah, 11-minute radiance. That's good. It's a pain
I pray the flowers, you know the neck right I with these other small items
I want to yes, yeah, because it's not just brown boot. He has a no upgraded one and a windlass
The pressure is on next you've got to try to stall out the pressure that's coming here because they are going to come
For these towers they're gonna come for kills all over the place that you have quite fragile at this point
XXS the only one who actually has like a decent HP pool by any means now.
And the man.
Something can burst through and they can, not a chance for the stupid over to even be attempted by X Nova.
Ahme looked like he was wanting to stun her, but then he's like, man I might just die if I stun her.
Yeah, that would have been that.
He might, okay he's just gonna, no risk pressure anyway, but.
Oh, they're getting every power root if they're putting full pressure.
Ahme's feeling like he needs to turn up, he doesn't feel safe to just jungle on the sides here.
That's kind of crazy.
This is an apt game. One of the best performances I think we've seen from playtime in the first 12 minutes in XG.
Really to continue to struggle so much in their early games.
They've been able to stall games, but these early games have all been pretty devastating for them, from what I've seen at least.
So let's see what the recovery is.
Because they can get very early points in this game too, where Necro, we were talking about the susceptibility of the Necro versus the Snapfire,
fire kisses, that's gonna quickly disappear if he's able to keep building up this farm.
Yeah, I think they can, on playtime too, now you're not really in a rush.
You already applied a fair amount of pressure, you can wait until those big core items until you want to go for
really taking over the map and taking those next big objectives.
Minus is done for Frank, two parts of the agonims.
Mateslayer for Dark Mago. I think when they've got all those timings they just go.
I think some acts on Frank Mateslayer.
It's kind of envisioned how XG come out on top of a 5v5 right now.
Yeah, the Mateslayer is going to take all the damage from this snap into Phoenix and the Rube, essentially.
And the Rube master is going to kind of kill everybody because it's going to be a level 3 split, essentially, that it comes out pretty much very soon here.
Yeah, again some of the faster timings were seen even in the situation where he was sort of left on his own for quite a while
I know what it does look like it. No not at all
Not at all and
Has nothing to say got a little power root also
If he did it was never anything crazy, okay, that's a little bit took the first shield room
But you know the rune it's been dark model just full control
There we go, bot's radiance done, 14 minutes then, here for Witt.
Hey, yeah, he's gonna break records this game, I think.
8,800.
I'm pulling up the GPM, I did it the other day too, when he was playing it.
Yeah, let this listen.
I mean, I'm surprised we're not seeing more teams start to pick up the Necro.
Especially if you pick up the axe, you show your offlaner like that.
We've seen playtime now do this multiple times.
Alright, XG, they're gonna try to do something here.
Try to get some kills for nothing to say.
Skullfield is right next to him though, kind of protecting Witt's. Perhaps it's kind of hard, I mean.
They do have pretty good magical burst.
He's straight.
If they get stunned, he can reset pretty decently.
Can they isolate Witt's?
They know, they can't see.
The team piece is dying to come in, yeah, they're ready to react and making this sort of move, especially when the tier one is still up on this bottom lane.
They're gonna find nothing to say immediately.
So there's gonna be the snap gun and the whole move, put to a stop, they'll even get the sides down onto it.
This is disastrous for XG. He's gonna have, yeah, charge soon too. 15 minutes are hit.
Every single timing is even faster than I think they could have even hoped for.
My goodness. And immediately through the game, looking for another pressure plate to onto Ame.
Ame's not getting any space.
No, he can't get any space either. They're trying to make that space, but it's just not hitting.
And if he ever gets found by even just two heroes that they're killing him. Oh, yeah
They want the big target
I won't quite be able to catch vision of him now unless he shows in the wave. Oh, he will
Almost letting up on him. It's so dangerous that I'm a showing here
Schofield's just waiting for the opportunity.
The dive potential is only going to get stronger and stronger from playtime's heroes.
He's trying to pull the creep waves away into a safer position so that he can farm not underneath that tower there.
But Schofield is still just looking for him.
Strows a casual bushwhack, won't quite connect.
But the farm pace, it is insane.
Necro, as you said, breaking records.
The brewmaster.
He's got agonies.
And he's level 12, so it's a level 3 split.
Ah, 16-meter.
Let's get it, you don't see these timings every day.
Absolutely not.
Bottom lane.
Another one.
Fy wins, is ready to come over and join in for the play.
Wow.
Super impressive stuff from playtime this morning.
In fact, it continues to be a lot of the same thing
of these early games that they just cannot fight.
Especially with this snap, just having such a tough time,
they had to help nothing to say more,
it feels like in this early game.
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah, there's a lot of sort of rotations,
what coming in from Almeida and such, but we're just not quite maxed up.
Look for the jump on the mid!
Nicely done, actually.
Just enough burst there with the dunk coming through to finish things off.
Feels like Axe Xs has to carry on this axe pretty hard in this mid game for them to have a chance to come back in it.
And that's a pretty big kill at the least.
Does get it picked up so they can go toward that blip.
I mean, he needs to be able to be pretty early this game on the axe, sadly, but...
Absolutely necessary.
And wait as well to pace down.
Playtime. I think when he respawns now, it's go time, because they've got that split at the ready, as we were mentioning.
Quote, quote, level 3 split.
They could even potentially force a roast pretty early with it.
They're probably wanting to take a fight first, and then go for that.
Break.
I'm trying to set up there in the Triangle XG.
Getting good vision in the area too.
I think pretty impressed with Frank too, I do have to say.
He plays his very specific heroes, but he plays them quite well.
His brew, his night stalker, his enigma, I don't think he's played here as much, or
even at all, but...
Knowing how to play with him.
power room for Dark Mago. He is starting to fall a little bit behind on December Spirit.
Kind of running around a lot. But which, most definitely not, he's absorbing all that space.
He's getting further and further out of anybody else in this game.
Dark Mago wants to go for this. He's gonna get caught immediately by the call and he's gonna
die. He's gonna set things up for the rest of the team to come in and clean up. They'll be able to
kill off Ex-Ex-S. Supernova won't be stopped and attempt to dive away but Frank's in with the stun.
Nothing to say also.
So they get the double kill, maybe even more.
Setup's there on towards him, he's got a cookie to try and get away from this, but the stun gun's through, the pushback's there.
They're gonna be able to clean up the threat, then so Dark Margo is more than happy to die for that.
Yep, he's like, one of us has to be the sacrifice.
If you guys are farming like you are, I'll do it.
Yep.
And so pushing the limit a little hard there does get brought down, but yeah, with...
I'm gonna pull up GPM again for myself, sorry.
Yeah, with his...
700, he is...
...cruisin'.
I mean the other thing too, he's level 17, Hame's level 12, that level 3 Reaper is going
to be online pretty soon too.
Continue to have to try to slow down the pace of the game, on XG, had to use a lot there
to try to, and they do lose this map firing again sadly.
They're going to have to come in with some sort of perfect play to try and have a chance
to bring this Necrophos down right now, bishops.
They won't have damage for this Necrophos for a very, very long time.
It's pretty much when the Scotty comes out on the tower, but that's maybe when they're going to start having to...
Start having an answer, but that could be not for another 15-20 minutes.
Yeah, that's like about, yeah, 6,000 or so gold away, instead of doing the shot, obviously, then he wants to get first, aren't they?
There we go, the XG they're going to try, and with the smoke, see if they catch.
Playtime by surprise.
Bruce, play is on cooldown, so it is one of the better options.
At the moment, Fyze is trying to go for a bit of a fake.
And it doesn't work out.
And now he's going to get the call in, on towards Dartmargo, and again, no kill off the ember.
Can they deal it over the Necrophos turning up?
Fyze is going to try and run, getting ticked down by the damage overwalled from this Necrophos.
The sharp shooter comes in.
He's just walking through them.
And the scythe's there for nothing to say.
They get killed by Dartmargo.
In this situation, they can also kill Frank when he wasn't ready to fully commit for the fight.
But they just...
They can't do anything about this Necrophos!
This just turns up, and he cleans up every single time!
Right, all things considered, not too bad, but then when you look at Necrophos, then you look at Necrophos, and you're like,
Oh my god, he is going to 1v5 us, literally.
Then I don't know how they're gonna kill him.
Yeah, he's got 3k gold. What'd you buy, Nis? Did you just go for the heart, right?
I feel like he could.
Does he want to go for any type of dispel, any other stuff? I don't know, we'll see.
Yeah, world is oyster. If he wants to go for the heart, he can. If he wants to go for something...
Hmm...
Can you find something more greedy? I'm trying to think about more greed.
It's easy, I think it's just a bit hard.
Yeah, it's the same thing. I was just thinking if you might go like really greedy, but not necessary.
Level 12, record pace of GPM and XPM, I imagine, at a 21 minute mark.
Yeah, I mean at this point, he doesn't matter if his other cause die in these fights first, because there's more XP for him.
True. He will literally kill everybody. He will 1v5 right now.
Yeah, very close to 20. How crazy is the 21 Necrophos?
Pretty strong.
Pretty good in terms of how powerful level 20 talent starts.
Decent one you're talking about.
Probably not.
Not too crazy.
Yeah, a lot of these carries have pretty crazy ones.
The zombie, they found him.
Very dead.
Sharpshooter's coming in, he's dead.
Oh, he tries to dodge.
Anyway, let's dodge the Bushwack.
Doesn't matter.
Ain't dodging the Sharpshooter.
No.
Yeah, which the heart?
This is insane.
Absolutely insane timing.
He's trying to keep up with the game clock and levels too.
He's double his enchantresses.
It's the best of one of course, so this ain't one of those situations where it's not one
next game they're gonna ban the Necro, there ain't no next game for them.
I really think other people gotta start doing this more.
I think we heard in the interview they were talking to Nightfall yesterday too that other
people aren't doing it but this is insane.
It just completely takes over the game.
Glimmer has finished up at least for FYC, so do have one defensive tool, and Ex Nova
but did pick up the shard not too long ago as well,
so they were starting to pick up at least some extra things,
but my god, how are you gonna kill this Necrophos?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
Unless something goes horribly wrong for playtime.
Which thing, Doc?
Yeah, so yeah, just to do what I was debating
if he did Kaia's son before the heart,
but yeah, he's just playing safe, and...
They are smoked up, looking for a play, X-XS,
still does not have his BKB though.
I'll stop the loop.
Maybe they kill everyone,
but apart from the Necphos, then Necphos kills more.
That seems to be the most likely situations that we've had.
I'll get the call onto the edge.
Instant Force Staff.
Ah, trust me to heal up with the lift up there.
Now can they get away from the Necrofos?
Here comes the king.
Super nervous drop down.
They might be able to kill it and they can.
They've got the attacks to fake it out.
And now actually just has to try and run.
But the sides there on the WXX says,
Bushback's on enough in a safe, stops his TP out.
They just cannot deal with the presence of the Necrofos.
I would I would click on this necro if I was like I mean I think guys what is going on right now?
What are we supposed to do here?
I feel like you know Arne's fingers might be starting to walk towards the G's you know
He's looking at this game, and he's like I don't want to play this one anymore this
Get it rough. I'm saying he's gonna break records absolutely in this one. This is the most insane farm
I've never seen on a necro post in 20 minutes in it
Legit looks like he's playing a pop and he's just cruising around doing whatever he pleases.
Yeah, now he's got the team muted, he's got the music blasting, you know, feet up, he's chilling, all tier 2s cruising through this game.
Everything's taken, all tier 2s, they can back up and take those other objectives if they'd like to. The map is completely constricted.
Even the supports are starting to get closer and closer towards those cores and networks. You see the hood weak in the inch.
They're creeping on that snapfire. Yeah, I really think they had to just they had to help them more
They really have to help this now can't lose the mid lane versus an ember spirit and expect the game to go
Well, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't Margo. Hey, obviously, this is one of his heroes
It is a start. I think it's evident that he has played lane against a fair few snapfire meds
And he was very much tuned in on what to do in the matchup very nice dodges and heads up like a little start of things
Putting the Enchanter's top, we were thinking like, oh, maybe it's the pressure to TP.
No, I don't think that was the case at all, right?
It was just 90% access.
Exactly.
Because from bottom, it'll be obvious when you leave.
And yeah, exactly that happened.
And it's Cofield even went mid afterwards for insult to injury, right, and got that solo kill, so...
I don't think you could ask for a better game for playtime.
This is literally as perfect as it comes.
Time to give up.
Which the Aegis...
Why?
Just sit on the high ground.
Does he need it?
Hit the buildings while they're there, now they could be super safe right, but them just sitting there under the tier 3s, hitting the towers.
Very true, very true.
They want to just go and try and push for the racks.
Honestly, he is the building hitter too.
Yeah, he is.
They might have just not hit the best.
It's not fast, but it's very safe right.
Yeah.
It's Necro slowly chipping away at your buildings with an Aegis, with a heart.
How do you get him off them?
Many, many items needed from our mate.
I have a chance against the Necrophos. Obviously, the road to the Skadi starts now.
Even the Skadi's not enough now though. You need the Skadi plus one, and yeah, he's literally 8,000, but it looks like an Alchemist.
It actually looks like the old days of an Alchemist on this Necrophos.
I mean, is this hero, would you say, at the moment outside of the Alch, the one that if you get a good start, it's the Fas-
It's the farmer's Fas.
Yes, it is the Fas.
It's also because of the build.
The bot's radiant, right? So it actually just kind of consumes the entire map because of the build plus just dominating her of the game.
Onto high ground! Yep. Good luck!
Hey, for next stage!
Just gonna see the chance to go for a fly, and I'll get him!
Done and dusted.
Now I guess the question is, if your times were watching this, then you're like, we're banning the Nekron.
I mean, it might be, it might be the gays.
It's gonna, you know, what are they thinking?
Or just have one of these off-laners prepped and actually shot something through, but there's not the biggest option, alright?
It's like, Batrider and...
This is best of one's right.
It's like, do you want to leave the risk of being like, hey, we can beat this?
And the best of one is Risky.
Zaggy, as we're saying, certainly looks like they're not gonna be able to beat this.
No, this one's, this one's not.
Literally, unless playtime just dies at the time of the four times in a split-minute.
There's no hope.
Maybe they can kill Doc Margo again.
Here we go.
Probably the all-in-defense attempt.
I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna get the call.
And they're not gonna be able to kill him, those co-fills.
He'll get away from XXS, XXS price.
He changed with the BKB.
Frank, in on top of them, forced us to supernova out.
They've cut out the supernova.
Wait until that goes off, doesn't end up clipping a few of them, but there's no follow-up from XG, so playtime, don't care whatsoever.
And Witt's ready to dive in. Does get sundered down pretty low.
Of course, still has that ages, even if they can kill him the once and doing that, still seems unlikely.
They try and get the call-up, but he's able to get forced to the side away from it, and he's just straight back in on top of them.
Elmysha will die.
Witt, can they get him the once? They can.
He can fall, but can they do it twice?
He's in the second round, any body able to get a grab on him, they do still have everybody alive, XXS is keeping over.
Sunray's doing some work.
I mean they need to try and get some sort of big cool XXS, not able to find it.
They don't want to over commit though.
Now Wix is ready to turn back in on towards them.
Cool, will it come off as well? Is it the blade now? Jump forward with the cookie, they're actually bursting him down!
Low, Wix is gone!
Wow, buyback immediately!
They've killed him off!
But they've taken a lot of damage for it!
XXS, he's dead without buyback, nothing to say goes down, he still has his buyback available.
Which one's Ame?
He does going straight for him on the Terriblade.
Ame trying to hide.
Oh, they're just diving him. They don't even care about the base.
Which he's gonna chase.
Is he fast enough to burst the Demon's Eel?
I mean, he's not.
Speedy here.
Sandin Ame looks like he's- he's gonna get away with this.
Doesn't have a TP on him, though.
That was pretty-
He is on the courier.
That was pretty impressive, though.
The Phoenix really burnt down that critical.
They were able to bring him down.
And if they do it once more, he doesn't have Viper.
Yeah, I mean-
Wow, there's tier one. There's a lot of big tier...
But yes, that's true.
I'm not impressed they were able to do that, to be honest.
It's gonna get caught outside the base. They've got buybacks!
There is still one more fight left in XG.
One more fight.
Has to be the best fight that we've seen from them so far, here at Dream League.
But there's one more fight left in them.
They won't tap out, as you said. That's the one.
Yeah, they're locking in.
Playtime.
Do they even want to back up?
Looks like they will.
Might as well be staying.
True. Reapers back up in 72. They can't just wait and reset.
Bomb might get that time to at least get the scout.
It is close to them.
That was impressive.
I mean the Sunray in particular, I think he did by far the most damage in the fight.
Sticking it right onto them there.
There is a base ward, but they did not find it as well, so it's completely scouting everything
right up there.
A very sneaky one.
What's he gonna pick up?
Is he gonna get the Shiva's, or is he just gonna go play safe BKB?
Might just do safe BKB to end the game.
It's gotta be Tamping Rise, and your buyback's on cooldown, just to have that BKB to...
Especially when you're in a position where you're looking to just close this up with the next fight
Tommy trying to get outside. He just can't they're actually occupying all three lanes
So he's not getting opportunity to walk out and finish up that ulti or that he really desperately needs
I think he's behind the BKB. Yeah.
BKB gold's gonna get that and TP over to the team by the looks of it.
Yeah, then they can look to finish closing this one off as safe as possible after taking
a little bit of a, I mean not really, like a tiny, tiny risk before.
To the member, the only funer- the big funerality is just, yeah, the 5 minutes of the bye-bye
corner.
Yeah.
There's a world where Witch does die in the next fight that does give at least a good
couple of minutes for XG to crawl back against the leader, yeah, get at least that next round
of items out, which might make things a little bit more complicated, but it does require them
killing Witch.
Once he's got this PKB, which indeed is coming out to him now, sort of the way they could
bring him down last time is no longer an option.
No, and they even pick up quite a few more items, right?
Everybody else is starting to pick up some.
I think the AC is soon done for Frank.
Dark Mago, I believe had the Kaia at least finished up
and a couple other things to yourself.
Yeah, which bank?
Very, very well.
I just think he's down, but he just wants to get level 25
on top of the BKB before he goes.
They may even wait.
Now, it's the road.
They may even wait for Roche, right?
Because things got stuck out.
It is the best of one.
It is.
It is the safe way for them to go.
They could probably just YOLO it down, but he's... he's... he's safe.
25, we've seen, uh, people cover both, right?
You see what the left one, the death post cooldown is a little bit more favoured.
He likes the Reaper damage, though.
Oh, which is actually more taking the other one.
I think so. I saw two games that he took it that I remember, at least.
Also has a plate mill on top of things too, so he's tanked up an insane amount now,
on top of things that he already was super tanky, and yeah, he takes the Reaper side damage.
It is a lot.
They have a toll match here as well.
Yeah, they do not want to throw this game, right?
No, no, no.
Tormentor, wait for Rosh, Obisho gets it.
Crazy how Frank is, I mean it's the Midas and just how much map control right, but how far he is.
He has had complete freedom, but still impressive to see I guess Dark Mago was sacrificing himself a couple times in this game
So that's the reason why he is still behind at least
Armies got the Scotty looking for the MKB next one step
And if you are actually where you're putting your your final fight out
Are you going to the base fight or the base fight?
I think if you go outside to the rush, it's so much harder.
We always mention stuff like this when you're playing turret heroes.
Turreting in the base is just a lot safer.
If you're turreting outside, they can find you.
Sure.
So let's sit back.
Super dangerous.
Let them get the Aegis and then just fully set up to defend that final set of racks to defend your base.
I'd imagine so, unfortunately.
Or, I mean, or do they just full YOLO?
I mean, that's...
It's a hard call, but maybe they will just try to full YOLO.
This fighting outside is very dangerous.
Roshan, gonna be a fairly short response in 30 seconds until it's back in play.
Blin's gonna start getting pushed, help me show shopping it.
Mid the illusions are doing a decent job, but bottom is starting to get forced in as well.
Rosh, 20 seconds.
This is a ballsy call, right? This is not easy for XG to go in and out here by any means.
Skullfield very ready for the move, just in case. Same for Amisha. Scouts him.
Wards are placed, but there is a jam on Skullfield.
I don't think they surrounded the Roshan, they did respawn and it's going to start shifting
so they're starting to prep themselves, they don't even want to check if that Roshan is
top they're going to prep to get it on the bottom side.
Now XG has to go prep themselves because they did shift themselves away from the bottom
side as well.
And on the meanwhile, it's not in playtime here, they continue to get a lot of extra
farm too.
During all this, the Crimson Guards to finish for Almeesho, well not soon, but relatively
soon for Almeesho.
And maybe they're waiting for the buyback even of Whistory.
I mean, this is that close, though.
Might as well.
I was going on that 1,000 gold and waited 50 seconds.
It all kind of started to sequence itself, right?
So they're like, you know what?
If we're going to play this safe, let's play it this safe.
Wait for absolutely everything to come together.
Honestly, it might be even the Shivas as well for the Necrophos too, right?
Because all these timings are continuing to be hit.
Giving some space to Ame, though, right?
Ame now.
He should be able to get the MKB.
Scott, he's down.
He went for small crypt.
gonna hit right yeah since coldfield go for more aggressive built he had the
wind waker queued up it just goes for the hex himself and here we go
Sarah's
Mr. Roar I'm gonna play a bit cautious playtime just in case XT were going to be
heading over they saw somebody with that ward made it perhaps they thought it was
a real terror blade might just be a rubik that they
they see him
that waltz got him caught he spent his gold they've got the hex they've got the lock down with the
bush mark the first walk from the sharp shitter in the reaper site that is indeed army
dead for 70 I mean spent the gold at least you know he did get the item sure but holding
out for a minute yeah now they don't even need to go to the rush without a terrible
go for the building instead of the rooster they probably saw him finish the
item with that ward right on top of them can they hold for a minute with the four
of them xj
looking at wits open with the call see how much they can do here with the
burst it is a lock bgbs there wits ready to fight back looks to fy that's
gonna be fy out has got buyback available here ttp away from xx
successful managed to get back to the fountain safely with that but playtime
They can focus the buildings take down the tier 3 get this final set of barracks
I'm a since gonna get to see his ancient pretty much crumble in front of him 25 seconds until he's out
Tier 4's in trouble
Do they back it up for the Roche
He just pause it. He's done. Yeah, he's called makes this one
They tried their best to hold on but overall actually could not turn this one around playtime getting far too far ahead
I think they needed to help this that bit up way more
I mean they didn't really help them at all I was mentioning you know for FY
It was a little bit of a quiet game especially in the early game to help
But yeah, this was quite Ross, but amazing from playtime. I this must be the most farm necrophos that they've ever seen
Yeah, let's get records on everything XPM GPM
craziness
15-2 and 5 at the end of it all there by Witt.
Definitely something that teams are going to have to think about going through with this,
you know, further game to the tiebreakers.
I'm just saying, I'm sure Tundra's watching and it'd be very interesting to see how they deal with this,
how they react to this, if they're ready to talk, because it's Necrophos.
Fantastic in Witt's hands and just overall with the way they play, we did see,
you know, the other course not afraid to sacrifice themselves to ensure that Witt's
game gets stronger and stronger.
Well there we have it ladies and gentlemen, the first best of one in this tiebreaker,
Playtime taking the victory against Extreme Gaming.
And in such strong a fashion that it makes me curious how Extreme beat Playtime a week ago to begin with.
This was an absolute outclass, Kezu.
Yeah, this was a shillacking to its finest.
Kezu?
1-2, 1-2, am I back?
Yeah, you're back.
I think I'm back.
Yeah, this was a very one-sided game, because the XG, I don't know, for the last couple of days, they aren't really looking that clean.
Like, they're losing lanes, they shouldn't lose, then they're not really making any moves.
Whereas playtime, they look clean, they put their...
...place with the right lanes, as I'm dying out in between, but we'll figure it out.
Jager, I can tell you, I think that you have a yin-yang-type situation right here.
You got Xtreme, which they're obviously... they're fucking tilted. I don't know what's going on.
I'm surprised all my didn't gg out on some of those deaths
There's obviously we were waiting for it. We were waiting
It's a high caliber team and then on the flip side playtime
They've fixed a lot of their core mistakes that they've been making in these tournaments
They and this happens with South America teams like historically speaking you have a team
It's really really good at team fighting really scrappy. Yeah, really intuitive and then their macro is just bad
It's not good and then slowly but surely they get enough practice these guys sped run it with the tournaments
They're playing and then all of a sudden their macro is good too. So I'm excited to see how far they can go with that
Yeah, I mean I was very impressed by them during malachi at them getting good top six as well
They got eliminated by liquid but because maybe they were playing too much dough at the time
we said that they've been playing like constantly and
in this game you can feel like their ideas like their identity actually working because
because how they moved across the map, nobody touches the bottom part of the map pretty much, it's for Necro.
And you can't deviate with the atomization, this is something that we talked about, is you want that radiance,
it was 11 minute radiance in that game, and then you can just occupy the whole part of the map,
the rest of the team doesn't need to even protect you, but they also did a good job,
because Extreme Gaming, they didn't kill a tier 1 tower in the bottom lane for a long time,
they tried to make a move, but it was kind of a fail move,
because I think they get wiped even if they manage to get on Necro. I don't think they can even kill Necro.
So a lot of things did go really bad for them early on. Very hard game for them to recover.
Love the bots too as well. We talked about that a bit in the green room, right? It's a really great
item on Necro and also a really great item for securing the game. You go on anyone if you're XG
and there's a 3000 HP unkillable Necro, TPing on your face. There's always a hero there for Scythe,
finishing off kills for these pick offs and I respect the buyback that did come
out like slightly before 30 minutes where he was just ready to come in he
thought that they could close out the game took them another fight or two but
overall I like the mentality that they do they just don't have any fear and I
think they played like the early to mid game also quite nice I mean you talked
about the smoke I actually I hated that move like this 14 minute move where
they're like trying to go for the Necro right that you mentioned to me it just
makes no sense like look at the mini map imagine your radiant your up 7k gold
You know the only play XG have is to get XXS's blink dagger on axe and then make a move
He's not showing this move is like double obvious literally zero heroes are showing and the axe
Why doesn't XSS just go to a creep wave and show himself like look at me idiots?
I don't have blink dagger. We're not making a move instead
They're making a move without his blink without him showing actually super often don't think they can kill him anyway
You're pretty much here with three supports because he will die. He will die. He will die
He will die hundred percent. I mean they will die after but one stunned with Snapple he will die
But instead it's worth stopping the snowball for sure
Yeah, and they could have also done that for like five minutes before that as well. Yeah, NTS didn't he didn't want to do it
Yeah, NTS also
kind of
Wasted this last big snapfire that we are seeing like his game went pretty terrible from the start or he I
Don't know if this is him
I think you need to, I think you said like you need to try to fake pump it because it's not working out and then he dodges it
He's also in a situation where you don't put any pressure
You're playing against the melee hero and then Ench makes a move. He kills you scatter blast again
Doesn't fake pump it and then cookie misses on top of that. So that's gonna result in another kill
he's gonna be scurrying up here against the
Dark Mago and he's gonna get on top of him and get the kill
But then Hoodling comes in they get the kill and then one more rotation
Basically your whole game as a snapfire from the mid lane is cooked
Yeah, and don't be too sad for extreme because they are not yet cooked
Regardless all teams playing in this tiebreaker. They're all going through just some girl will be in the low bracket
So will be the upper bracket playtime one win away from being in that upper bracket, but they have another opponent
they have to also win against Tundra that they played at best three against yesterday and they went the distance
They did not win the best of three, but they were able to take a game and actually Tundra did ban out
Necrophos and two out of the three games. I think they're gonna do the same thing in this one game
But to be sure we're gonna go show the drafts after break
I'm in the right to say so.
Keep the body.
For all that we need, our foundation
Throw it up, run away, we know it all
This is gravity, no more than thoughts to take
Throw it up, run away, we know it all
This is our day
The world is ours to take
The world is ours to take
The world is ours to take
The new horizon
Open eyes on the future
I'm sure in everything that we could be
Take my hand
So take my hand now
One more step and through this open ocean
And we'll not forget
All that we're made of
Are foundations
So in a world
We're going to the eastern part of the world
The world is ours to take
I'm not doing it
It's fucking my way
We fight in peace to the end
The world is ours to take
The world is ours to take
The world is ours to take
The world is game and you can't solve it
No one's worth it
All of me
The world is ours to take
I
You can't see.
We'll stay by for lunch.
Shoot man, here we go again.
It's got to be flying. Get it to the flight real hard.
I got balls right there.
just won the first game against Extreme Gaming. That means they kept the honor of having the
chance of getting two bets back wins, which is instantly ending our tiebreaker day. Playtime
versus Tundra coming your way with Kessie with LaCos with Jenkins and myself. And we
have seen this series yesterday. There were three games in a row, LaCos, and it was a
close one.
It was close, especially the second game, like the 65 minute game, pretty back and forth I would say, but also, I think it showed from Tundra that they can leave last pick for Dark Mago, because in that second game he picked the Viperon 23,
and then in the third game he picked Kunkka on 24, these are some of his best heroes, and it also showed that they can't counter it, knowing that it's coming, but also coming into the series,
You did mention that they yesterday banned 2x Necro and they just banned Necro.
It's banned. It's 100% banned. I don't think you want to be playing against this because it gives them so much momentum.
It gives them the group up and also not the most tower damage that they did have unless they used split,
but they also had Aegis on Necro, so it's very easy to push the buildings.
Also something we didn't talk about and I don't know how that was determined, but in these tiebreakers where three teams play,
I think the team that plays second always has the advantage.
Because they just watched one less than one.
Yeah, they just watched and if they win the game, they immediately play against a team that lost first and might be the more or less.
So, not only do you have the info, but if you win the game.
No, no, they play against the winner.
The winner.
Right now, right now they do.
But if they win.
If they win, they're playing against losers.
Yeah, they immediately play after winning while playing the first game after having information on the team that actually won.
So you would want to go second.
Yeah.
That's because I remember the fire breakers and I was feeling like it's just better if you fit out and then play
I kind of disagree on that one. I would like to be
The first one because I am in control of my own fate
I get to play control of your own I win I win and then I win again, and it's done
I don't care the 13th doesn't even have to like play after they've lost one
And I think it is very dependent also on the type of strategy you're planning on running because
Maybe you've got something up your sleeve you want to go for yeah, there's a difference
I come prepared Kez is like yeah
I need some extra time to prepare so he wants to be you know coming into the second series
I think that's the difference. Yeah, that's my point. Keep it up. You guys think playtime
Expects to get necro in these games. No and then next upcoming one. No, I mean for the first year for the first game
Like do you think that they have that they think teams will first-phase bandit against them?
You think they're planning for that?
They should have an idea, like, instead of, like, they're mockdrafting you.
Yeah.
Because it is a weird hero, other than against playtime,
it is a weird hero to first-faceman.
It leaves a lot of stuff in, but it does, it does make sense.
So I'm curious, you know, on this topic,
if there's something that they're cooking that's not Necro,
that surely makes up for, maybe I don't want to say makes up,
that fits into the playstyle that they like to do,
where like Witz is playing a more active carry, you know?
Well, it is in the top of the theory.
The Necro, Ordi Band, or Doom.
Last game that they played yesterday was Pengo,
Nex Assassin, Necro, and Tusk.
I would say three out of those four heroes,
usually you don't see band in the first phase.
Yeah, these are funny bands.
But why are they funny?
It's sort of non-meta-bands, I would say. Or is that what you meant, Jenkins?
Yeah.
Like nakes, Necro, even Doom First Phase Band is not that normal.
But at the same time, if you play time, you kinda wanna force the Necro Band, so you just take out the Doom.
And 33 plays it really well.
Are we worried at all that alone Druid is not bad? Like...
Both teams surely play it.
We normally still see it in the First Phase Band.
Heroes?
Is this worrying, or...?
A little, because the way Playtime normally answers it is with the Necro.
Hmm.
and dooms a pretty decent answer to, like any percentage damage is good.
That's 100% gross for the Largo. Largo's been solely creeping up again as just like generally a good hero.
I'm not sure about first-phasing it though, because usually there's some sort of dispel
uh, value that you're getting, like against an Ember or something like that.
Yep. They also haven't played it from different roles. We saw that Falcons, they played it from position 4,
It loves to play it it can be very annoying thunder exclusively plays it from the off lane
But I feel like Largo is back in meta. I think you mentioned Ember
I think there are a lot of these annoying things that you can like off and we are seeing
Largo's 20 talent change and I have two like charges. Yeah, it's pretty big. You're not double. It's good
Yeah, you're not playing for that
But eventually if the game comes down to that it is super annoying to deal with and now I need this
You probably need to start thinking about the better you want to be, banning out Alchemist.
You have Largo on the team, a lot of the time this is not the first eggs that is given to Largo,
but the second one, but it also speeds things up.
We saw, I think it was Team Spirit, they just completely dominated the game
once they got those two Agatumseptors online the other day.
It's definitely here you should consider.
Like, also when you have these, like, this hero needs quite specific bans too.
Like, you want this guy to have a good early game.
I also know that Dark Mago, he can play this hero.
I'm not quite sure if he has done yet at DreamLeague, but it is of course a flex.
That's another added benefit of them picking it here to close the phase.
And I think another thing against Largo, the hero doesn't really do much.
And these ones like Freedom in the early game, you know, to get your Dominator,
like run down the tower and do stuff.
Largo won't really stop him doing that.
We could see Invoker in this game.
Yeah, we could.
I'm playing it quite a bit.
He's been popping off with it, making the Meteor Hammer build look really strong.
You have Meteor Octary in the other day, which I was very greedy, but it worked.
Super based build, I respect that.
Your supports, you know, they gotta pull their weight in saving you.
You don't need that BKB, what the supports are for.
One hero that is still left in the pool and didn't get any priority,
I don't think it was picked or banned in the previous one, is Slayer.
I'm not sure what the teams are thinking.
Why are they not going for it?
Because to me, this is one of the strongest offlaners
in terms of what the hero brings.
It's ways to match up always and carry to carry match up
when you have Slaughter on your team,
gives you objective taking as well.
I don't know how you feel about it, Kizu.
No, this feels good.
Even like last series,
I thought there was a chance that they could have picked it.
I mean, maybe in this game, less likely,
because I think Tundra won Largo already on their offlane
and Slaughter against Beast isn't that great, but...
Maybe something happened. Yeah, something happened. Maybe also they think Largo is potentially a very good hero against it with the lick
It's a lick very annoying so against your sprint against corrosive Haze as well
I agree also a lot of the slaughter games
There was also pango getting through and other heroes that comboed really well with it, which I think
artificially made
Florida look like the best offlaner, but it was just pairing with some of the best heroes in the games
I think that's part of it
The reason why I think the hero is still very good
It's because we're in a bit of a turret meta, so we are seeing these Muertos
We're seeing draw Rangers being more popular when Ranger as well
These are some of the best pairings that you can get with Florida. So you one shot the hero in two seconds
It's also that the hero is a good flex like it's good mid. It's good offland
It beats a lot of the you know the mealy man said people do want
I mean, for now, also, I like that playtime I have Tusk, like, when you have, I think,
Skullfield in your lineup, you want him to play a hero that has semi-freedom and where
he goes, it provides kill threat, right?
In other games, it's the nicks.
In last game, it was the Hoodbank, now it's the Tusk.
Like, you know, help Frank for like two, three minutes and go to the safe, and maybe
shot down 33 a bit, because Tundra, they need time.
So try to take heroes, or you can, you know, push them back a little bit, get some kills.
Yeah, that feels good.
That's what I'm thinking, too.
As an off-laner, maybe this is my own bias, but I see a hero like Tusk, and I think, like,
if I'm playing one of these big fat off-laners, I hate playing against Tusk, because he runs
to the safe lane, and no matter how tanky you are, as many bracers, vanguards as you
have, whatever, he's going to kill you with the other two heroes.
I would love to see some maybe Lich, maybe Wyvern, on the side of Thundra.
They haven't played Wyvern yet, the hero became popular, but this kind of stops the
aggression.
It's kind of a similar way of thinking because it's a lot of physical between two of them and let's give you slightly more damage
Like more damage in a team fight as well
But yeah, just one point frost shield feels nice and also
Your sinister gaze against the the poor feels really nice
So this task most likely is gonna be played from position five thing that there is a shadow
Never mind. They actually play shadow from the mid lane. Yeah, they can flex it still which makes this kind of the
Like an interesting pick you have SF who can go one and two and bees who could be two or three most likely be soft
Lane, I think is it's just fine
But I kind of like this pick just to keep masking like what your draft is the only reason I don't like fully love it
I think if you're thunder you're looking at the 18, you know the spirits with your Largo maybe bees
Maybe like a hero like stone spirit and currently you don't care too much about which one of these heroes goes mid
That's a good pick
Like all the heroes that you're mentioning do not like playing as a silencer. So they're seeing the same trend
Yeah, I like it for that the only problem is I saw this lane into Largo the other day
And it seems that silencer doesn't really pressure this hero like not at all. Yeah, not at all
I just dispel yourself or you make it like it's a little it's a little different now
It was way worse when Largo just came out because silencer was all about going Q&E
But now you're going for points in glaive your a pointing glaives and at the very least
It's not as terrible as it was, but being able to lick off the arcane curse and gain something from it is really crazy
It does counter it in lane
I'm a bit afraid for his trading like if I'm play like if you think of what hoodwink and silencer do in the lane with what we're describing
Silencer has to go glaives, so he's gonna like go in attack range to trade
Wait, don't you just run silencer against the lich and then tusk safe lane with SF just shit on the Largo
Maybe you do that. There's there's no way you pick silencer
And you don't do that but silence of four is also like then you could look at like a weaver plus one
Like if I have weaver lich against some B silence lane, we're killing them like a time. Yeah, that's true
Let's see, but yeah the storm
Playtime should have seen this coming. Maybe that's where like this silence their idea comes in
But I do think I agree like with Locos quite heavily. There's a it's quite flawed in a way to
Kez, I think, is the best hero for killing the silencer if they want to do this.
I would be very worried about a Kez if they want to run silencer as a 4 in the laning phase.
Viper banned.
Okay, they banned it.
This makes me feel like they are thinking of doing that.
Imagine they banned Weaver.
Yeah, because then you just...
Because these 4s that put themselves out of position and don't have an escape,
I just want to take carries that like jump them and kill them.
Traditionally that used to be like PA, which is a very hard hero to play nowadays.
So the Kez, the Weavers, I don't even know what other people would look at first, like outside of these heroes.
They are a bit squishy, on side of Tundra. They are very like single target oriented, other than Chain Frost.
I like this is usually not the lineup that you see. I don't think we have seen I'm talking out of my ass right now
But I don't think we've seen the combination of these four heroes being picked
It just doesn't feel like very dodish. Maybe the last pick can tie all of it together
I like the windranger band. It's something that also counters what the Beastmaster and Tusk want to do early on shadow fame the
Like the matchup is pretty good as well
Especially if it's carry shadow theme where it takes quite a lot of time to get to the MKB. Oh, I heard PA
That's a really cool hero for
Jumping in on an out of position support now. We but then again sounds are also can our kankers PA. It's a bit annoying
I'm very curious
What is the last peculiar?
Counteract is I don't know if you want to play
So now it depends a bit on what they want to do with the draft
But playing Beast in this lane is not easy at all like either you have tusk who wants to leave you eventually
Or you have silence of four who I think is gonna feed in this lane
What can you go?
Does Wits play Bloodseeker? Is that here dead? I think we don't want that
Cuz Storm against SF should be pretty good for SF right? Oh for the carry. Yeah, right. Okay, hmm
I was thinking if they could squeeze in tiny I don't know if they want to be playing this shadow thing from the mid lane
Not so it is gonna be co-op
So I
Want to see who's gonna be playing silencer and how they're gonna be lane guys film
It's gonna be shadow thing plus tusk in the lane no matter what tusk is one of the skull fields better heroes
This is pretty much the og hero that he was playing being super annoying with and the skull fell smiling
I don't know what's going on if this is a good or bad sign usually. We don't see him smiling
And he's also not naked Jenkins again. That's true
But he did win the previous game without having no shirt, so maybe they just pulled the AC down
So everyone's cold. He takes the shirt off when he needs to power up
We'll pay attention. He has to eat it too. Yeah, it's like broccoli taking the weights off. Hmm
So he hasn't needed to do that. I think he might regret it here
Dark Mango on Queen.
Did you just call him Mango?
Yeah.
Dark Mango, this was maybe his best hero in Valakia, right?
Would you agree?
Like he looked really good on Queen.
So I do really believe in it.
It does very well against Storm.
I question a little bit the Largo and Silencer.
Like, what are they going to do there?
If it is just Silencer against SF against Largo,
I don't think Largo gives a shit about that, right?
He does not.
I feel like he farms just fine. 33.
Very happy with this situation.
I know we've not seen PA, or we've seen her once and she lost.
I think this is a really good PA game.
I'm a little... I'm worried for playtime, if I'm gonna be honest.
Queen has a very high win rate against PA.
I think Salazar is not gonna have a good time. Straight up.
If he goes to top lane with the Beastmaster, you're playing against PA plus Lich.
He's going straight to play.
If you're dead, he's going safe lane.
He's gotta go safe lane.
Well, there's a lot of question marks around this PA, we'll do well.
Question marks about how the lanes are gonna play out, news, laning, where, and we're gonna have all the answers!
Without a pixel on fog.
We go into an act, best of one of these tiebreakers, Plateson.
We get our tails coming in on this after that previous big free against XG, played up against
Tundra.
Now it's time to best of one, but what do you make of this, because Plateson, they look
pretty hot today.
They did, and I mean PA are definitely a risky hero in the past versus Beastmaster
and some of these frail supports that don't have anything to defend themselves right is very good, but
I think these actions are really good for his PA now also. I think it's kind of changed.
We just want to mute them down or...
It just feels a bit different. Like you still kill the boys, you still hunt them, but you just play on axes
on most of the situations that I've seen, so we'll see how it plays out in particular.
It is with Lich, which makes it incredibly strong, the PA plus Lich lane,
depending on which two heroes they are up against and how aggressive they can be, but...
What do you think they did see in the PA? Like why the PA now?
Squishy SF, Squishy E answer, I think I'm probably just looking at some fragile heroes
and lack of lockdown so she can't jump in and out.
It's going to have the frost shield to buff up at all times too and the Largo eventually
to also do so, so not 100% sure but we'll see if it ends up working for them.
He's gone for a super aggressive item build too, just a Blight Stone double fairy triple
branch so to me that's saying we want to get very aggressive in this laning phase, look
for the kills onto the Beastmaster, onto those boars and the silencer.
Cause that'll be sure if he steps up too far.
Silencer can be in a lot of trouble.
Alright, let's see.
So we really do not see too much forward position silencer for a specific reason,
cause you just are very vulnerable.
So we'll see what he's gonna be able to make happen with it.
But now in this bottom lane,
Schofield and Wits, the SF and the Tosca very strong lane versus the Largo.
Let's see if Ari on the hoodwink is gonna be able to deter that.
See that Schofield already has the Quelling Blade.
He's got in the trees.
Not going to be a lot of options for Artie, it's done down here easily.
Yeah, there's spam lane, I don't know, I really don't...
I don't think it's going to be very easy for Pure.
Right, you just axe spam him, you curse him, non-stop, off cooldown,
and Lich overall can't be a bit of a hero that suffers versus some of that constant spam.
He did bring good regen though on Whitemon, so it does have tangos plus the south.
Yeah, it's a lot of spam.
And all in all, because why is PA just...
Not considered that great nowadays?
Well, what sort of happened to the era?
Just very slow.
I think it's about working it though.
They want to try but they haven't got the level 2s.
Whitemon has to be careful himself a bit here.
Curse, he tries to clip them both, ends up missing Whitemon because of it.
And can they go when they hit level 2, Tunger?
They're gonna.
I looked at that's what they're prepping for, right?
Yeah.
That's what they're itemizing for and what they're spreading for here.
All in on a level 2 play.
Yep.
There we go.
I'm gonna get the 4, but not gonna get the chance to go for a kill with that level 2 hit.
At least they do get that 4.
I feel like I can't really look away from this top lane because of the way the design
kind of works a bit, but taking a glance at these other 2 lanes, of course Dark Mago vs
the Storm, this is when it starts to get kind of hard for BZM, right?
Level 2 Shadow Strike is up, and nice trades from him on to Dark Mago.
So far he's doing very well in the matchup on BZM.
Yeah, mid-level 2, dagger spam is gonna start hurting.
Nice, that's three denies though, those are important to get versus a queen of pain as
a form spirit.
They're gonna get him top.
I mean the vulnerability she's taking is the constant spam, axes, cursors, getting
thrown down onto pure, it's not an easy lane for the PA.
He's lasted for good though, right?
Ten, he's gonna take one or two of these boards, but Frank does get that first blood.
Frank just has to be careful now with his HP. That doesn't get gone on immediately when the lane comes back and he is going to get gone on.
The Cursion of Turlan though. Pure has to be careful if he...oh, Wipo actually. Also taking on beating.
Wipo, he's dead. Compure at least 5 Frank in return. You can't. And now Pure's got to be careful.
And the Silencer int. He's racking it up already. Playing very confident here. Pure.
Nice play from Omisho to break that blur. He's got a double nuke combo. It's gonna do a lot of damage again.
It won't kill him though, right? Yeah, he's got one charge, it's very far in search, but still not a whole lot of fun here for pure in the safe lane.
Frank is missing a lot of last hits, but he's getting some kills at least. Well, Omisho's getting the kills.
We'll get him to salve up a little bit at the least on the PA.
Fun lane. Haven't even gotten a chance to look at bottom.
Has there been pretty damn good on the Largo, to be honest with you.
Versus the SF Touch, which is a lane that could be designed to get these early kills.
Very successful.
Museum?
He's gonna be alright, but...
Only just.
We'll have to sit completely back.
He might blink scream on his face.
I was gonna say, blink scream would do it.
He's thinking about it.
Maybe he just gets the dagger.
Oh!
Keeping him away from the creep by the best you can.
Still gonna be able to get the money creep.
My god, BZM is really taking risks here. TP, this is a sneaky one.
Ari can get the setup.
Just gonna be another dagger.
Ones at BZM, and it actually waits at BZM.
That goes down, here comes Skofield and comes in with a snowball that's BZM dead.
Ari was not able to set up anything for him.
Can he get a trade?
I dunno.
Ah, maybe with a tower hitch, yes.
So, Ari.
At least finding Skofield, but BZM...
Taking out.
Sculptor accepted his death, he had fairy fire, could have made him work a little more far-foot.
Not even wanting to, wants the reset as well.
Top is receding, pure. This is lasted.
Looking pretty good, but...
Frank's still continuing to suffer.
Yeah, there's gonna be delayed timings for Pure for sure, right?
He's gonna have to spend a good amount of extra gold on that regen.
They can dive at least, you know, you're seeing just through the axes.
It's not tough.
Kirsten lost with a lot of damage, TZM dying on returning to the lane, Pure might just be dead as well so...
He's losing, this is quite a bit of int, he's gonna lose another death potentially here.
The shield comes out, oop!
He's gonna try and tell for Almeysho, we'll be able to dodge the axes!
Whitemon, however we'll get left behind the Kirst, doesn't matter to connect on a Pure again, actually Whitemon able to live!
Almeysho, try to get an angle, Ari's coming to help out and we'll make sure that they're able to kill off Frank
And by the looks of it, get him, he's sure as well, Ari.
Coming in to ensure that this safe lane doesn't lose any more lives from the start of Tundra.
That was really nice footwork by Pure.
Extra dodges that came in, but then jumping to the creep away.
33, is he gonna get out as well? He's not.
He gets brought down.
Lots of action this game. 5-3 already.
Comparing surviving, definitely super important for him.
Thought he was gonna lose another in to get pushed off of the tower here.
Mid lane situations getting kind of roughly right.
There's two deaths back to back there from BZM.
His Dark Margo has now hit the 6, BZM a full level behind, it's gonna be a while that he has to still play careful trying to find that XP to get the 6.
And another reason I would say that for PA, why she's not the most popular is there's a lot of burst damage in Dota right now, right?
You can be pretty fragile and you're playing for Queen of Pain and Shadow Peen in this game, right?
There is a lot of different burst that can just literally annihilate Charith in the midgame.
Beast of the Wolf!
He's lucky to find a haste room there.
People can be stepped up for the rune too.
It's actually pretty important denying that away from Dark Mago.
It should be safe to get that XB as well in the mid lane from this, can walk up and get
a little extra here to get that level 6 safely.
And Frank is truly now starting to be shut down, even though they were getting some kills.
1600 net worth for him, 2300 net worth for the pure right now.
Plains in troubling us this time round is there gonna be any help coming in to
assist why mon might be able to survive this one important if Frank gets to kill
here honestly he is starting to fall behind on the network
he did turn up but looks like he's gonna quickly return back to the bottom lane
nice little sidestep there from pure considering hanging around Ari Frank
Frank is staying low HP if he does hang around they can absolutely get a kill
on to the Beastmaster. Seven minutes? Not gonna be any attempt of contest. One for one exchange
for those Wisdoms. Impresley? It's not great, but it's not that bad. Right, 2600 net worth
for him compared to the 3200s. Yeah, SF, all the pressure was brought to him and he
He endured it decently, I would say. Then they shut down the Beastmaster harder, then the Largo is shut down. The Largo is not shut down whatsoever.
Wait.
Shut up.
Stupid piece of coming in immediately from playtime though.
Tundra would not get an easy killer and the Shards are out on a 33.
They're going for the big target.
They're gonna get the jump forward as well, blocking off 33s escape. Oh, try and run!
He's tanky.
And the slows are upon him.
Dark Mago with another blink.
Yeah, they should have.
The heals are coming in again.
He blocks him.
And he's out of mana.
No chance to continue to sustain.
It took a while though.
Decent amount of chase, but Dark Mago absolutely getting a big kill there.
Level 7 now for him.
Almost 8.
Ari, maybe perhaps expecting a rotation to come through the gate.
Place is a ward, but it's not going to be the case.
Muggle, not enough mana, he's gonna go reset, pick up his double bounties, BZM, getting some space in the mid lane because of all that moves too, so that's Storm seeing him recover the net worth as well.
Oh, and Frank!
It's probably not the status here.
Looks like I'm pretty dead here, but BZM finding him.
Very nice little move there from BZM.
Frank is really struggling.
Even though we're getting some of these kills, he wasn't getting much.
Yes, BZM.
He is?
No matter, Sonic Wave comes in and be able to pop the charge, he's here to fight back though.
BZM able to turn, get the kill and with 33 around he's going to get healed up.
Amishou, look at the curse down onto him, but BZM...
...mashing to break back into the river.
You don't see Largo's play like this too often, he's getting involved early on.
Joining with his team at a nice time.
Very nice indeed, that's how Amishou got.
And they get Scofield as well, not quite, but still, big moves being made and getting BZM really back into the game.
He's now top two net worth.
This is some very nice plays around the Storm Spirit.
Then some really cool stuff from 33, right?
We used to see 33 a lot of times,
just go straight to jungle, right?
And he's just gonna farm and maximize as much as possible.
He's getting involved with the team.
He's gonna get them another kill here out to Frank, too.
Frank, the suffering continues.
Oh, thanks, damn, Leitman.
Do not let this Beastmaster have a game.
They truly aren't.
Pure now, completely caught back up.
I mean, I say caught back up, he was still doing pretty fine.
Yeah, clearly in a good position here.
Lost always been okay despite sort of how much sort of dancing and dodging he had to do up there.
Some really, honestly, it was a really nice individual place for him to dodge some of these axes,
dodge some of these particular curses that were coming up from the silencer.
Enthusiasm, right? It was a matchup versus the Queen of Pain, and he's even, if not,
kind of ahead in that net worth. And he's gonna actually go to build that we were,
I was talking about the other day, I wanted to see people perhaps revisit versus Silencer,
Going for the Greaves on the Storm, so very cool.
Okay.
Because we saw, who wasn't the other day that played the Storm and that he just kept getting styled over and over again?
Was it Abed? It was, right?
So, this is him looking to go for a different style build that we did see kind of popularized a couple months ago.
And I think he was one of the main Storms that didn't really like it back then as well, right?
Yeah.
He likes to do his different builds too, I mean he used to do Holy Locket a lot of the games.
Oh, that was the other one.
They bet they'd buy the Holy Locket, he really liked it.
But this one, you obviously make sense, right?
Grieves vs. Sonser vs. the Dodges vs. a lot of the other small little things
he can dispel as well, it's going to be very effective for him and for his team.
Because they do have a pseudo healing lineup, right?
When you have the Largo?
Quite a bit.
It's going to work pretty effectively to buff up the PA and get her into a good spot.
Very nice early game from the Tundra to respond and shut down that Beastmaster particular,
but Witt still continue having a very good time on the Shadow Phantom.
Wondering where he's going to go with this build.
Now we're gone.
Yep, top as well.
Might get the chance to take Scofield out.
He's got bodies coming spun off the mark.
They get that pushback connection this time.
Still big damage with the A-core shot on the sharp shooter.
Pures him with a dagger.
He's hiding in the trees.
Can put the setup holding back on the requiem for now.
Force the snowball out of Scofield.
Should die as he comes out of this.
He's super low.
Like the global.
to dive in with the Rall and go straight for Whitemon and allow Schofield to walk out alive
over the trees. The guys on Auri, dagger upon impure, tries to get back in onto Schofield,
but is risky again, not quite able to kill him. Schofield survives, 33's got a run,
but the Sonic Wave clips him, he's gone. BZM will be able to finally finish off Schofield,
all strikes he's able to get Doug Margo as well at the back of the teamfight,
and they'll go straight for the TP out, they've got nothing to stop it. So BZM
At least they'll be able to find a bit of a trade there, picking up the two kills in return.
Especially versus these lack of stuns, right? When they start seeing some of these spells used,
there is some lack of disable that we're seeing on the side of playtime.
The P.A. and the Snorlax Bear can't jump in and out of the fights pretty easily,
once either Roar or Global is used in particular.
Cool fight!
Nato comes off fully ahead, right? Dark Mago dies if they do get some kills.
Perhaps Tundra with a slight advantage, because the Storm does get these galvanized kills,
and Pure just watches getting experience.
Yeah, BZM's game is starting to look better and better with these moves.
And he's super, I mean he's so active he got another power rune too, half damage looking
for the move.
I mean it's a double boost for the HM, and 33 and he's in the mid BZM continuing to make
the plays here.
He's silent right now.
Up to 8 galvanized as well.
Scouting Dark Mago, they don't have a vortex.
Pushback setup, not enough to burst him indeed, Dark Mago manages to jump out but...
I thought they might wait for the Vortex, but probably just wanting to make the move to push the tower as well with this team.
And she's at BCM and 33 there, everyone.
35?
They're not here, the jungle creeps their plan fully aggressive, getting involved.
But there's something that's not sort of standard for the Largo playstyle that we've been seeing.
Definitely not.
Especially because he doesn't even have a point at Croc, right?
He might even start putting that point in relatively early because he is running around with the storm.
This is not something you see usually with this Largo.
House Frank's recovery starting to look now.
This is one of the slower dominators I think we've seen.
They were talking yesterday about, like, I think it was a 9 minute overlording.
Yeah, there was something crazy, right?
I think that was Gera who got the ridiculous one.
It was.
Scopeal?
Let's go.
Whits by a side.
They got global.
Gonna try and see if they can do enough to take out BZM and cut the roll.
They'll get him.
So this time BZM punished for leading the charge.
Started?
Okay, cross.
Good.
Well, unlucky bounces there to start.
These are very unlucky bounces actually.
Now Dark Maga might just be able to turn and blink away from Pure, but he's low.
Horrible luck for P- for Whitemon.
Sonic Wave? Not gonna quite reach onto Pure. Pure keeps it distant.
Can he hide?
Whitemon's gone. Pure again jumping away.
He gets out. Alright. That Look-The-Go's gonna be way worse for Tundra. Those pows are miserable.
Whitemon, they went to the mud golems. Poor guy. Look-The-Go's gonna bounce between the two cores, but not the case.
This is a- I mean, this is a great game. 12-11. Super chaotic.
Super close right all positions very very much even
And they do slow down the storm slightly here before his greaves come out next time though
They're gonna have to be ready for those greaves for the dispel on that on that global of course
He does have a region also for the men's
Somehow he's finding every power really feels like it's a good against go filter. You know that the snowball oh
Bit of a pause
So what's I I didn't go for is gonna die right? He's or isn't gonna
He can buy time at the snowball. He's got backup coming in.
Let's watch the stat chain frost again.
Yeah, he was looking obviously at the bounces between the beast and the quad, right?
Yeah, it almost caught the spawn on both, right? Dark Wilder didn't, but look at these Mug Golems.
Back to the Mug Golems and then ends up bouncing far too way to get back to any of the heroes.
Look how low Mug Glems ended up being, right? So, could potentially have died.
Skowfield, snowballing in onto the crits, he's perfectly fine.
At least as far as the retreat from Tundra, they lose a couple, but making sure the Pure gets out alive.
Tauze's timing. Pretty stood having that battle theory, so not too shabby by any means here in this game.
And BZM, full use of that regen rune, GRIVES are coming out as well. They keep occupying and pressuring this area.
I think for playtime, they are very specifically only going to be fighting around that global, and now there is that GRIVES.
So for Tundra, Ken looks to fight at a faster frequency.
And obviously, well, the matchup between the PA and the SF as the game goes on is good for the PA,
because the problem is the playtime, they have a lot of other stuff that's not good for the PA.
You're getting raw, you're getting Sonic Wage, you're getting punched by this TUS.
A Global's coming out after your PKB, you're not able to jump on targets.
Even though the carry match ups good, it doesn't seem like a clean game for a PA.
Not so straight forward by any means, because it's like, maybe he wants a BKB, but he does not want a BKB because of the punch, the roar, the global, the static wave.
He may not even, he might go from like, Manta weird kind of, let's see what pure kind of golds in adapt for in this game.
Because you look at him, you're like, yeah, he wants BKB, but then you're like, ugh, he's still gonna get hit by a lot.
She's gonna build, next time they'll get him easily.
I'm gonna come in with a heavy burst, and look what BGM's doing, the tech of it here with the storm.
Not wanting to make those greaves just yet, use those arcane boots freely,
so that whenever the actual global does come out, he'll have the greaves immediately.
Now he can actually use arcane boots.
Keep in pressure here, by the way, he did get another power root.
I wanna say he's gotten, I'm gonna check really quickly.
I wanna say he's got it.
Smoke plays coming out from playtime.
Yeah, he's got an every parry.
33, if you start seeing a song, can be pretty annoying to take down though.
They won't find a chance with the smoke.
No, at least be able to take this tier one out.
Global always going to be very effective versus that Largo for the heal, of course.
Will go for a Lotus relatively early.
First one's to go for maximum efficiency of mana.
It's 33, it's all about that efficiency in the brain, right?
He's got the soul ring, the Kaia, plus the Voidstone to amp up.
Smoke movement.
Frank, will he get caught here?
He did.
Can't get the roar off.
Pushback's there!
First comes out.
I've got a lot of it.
Nice kill.
BZM continuing to rack up these galvanized stacks.
Which, this is a early timing he's going to go for here with the Silver Edge build, so
Looking like he's gonna go that route instead play around the map try to catch the PA sneak around get angles
They do have global backups
Let's see playtime wants to be active with that as we said fighting around that is their best kind of voice to fight
But it isn't to those greens
They do have skull field with a blink so they have a way to start fights as well now to which they were lacking before
Around the mid
There's no time ensuring that they don't get caught out so light
Feeling playtime wants to make quite a bit happen. I think the later and later the more this game slows down
It's gonna be pretty sad for them versus a storm in a PA
We don't want this game to just get to this far more want to look for plays they're gonna smoke
It's like the read from tundra is there and BGM another power room by the way does have the arcade for the fight
If he doesn't beat... If BZM's not dealt with kind of like immediately at the start of the fight, he's gonna run rampant because the lack of disables.
Like time.
Really looking for a catch.
Tunch is just outmaneuvering and they're reading the play.
Who's gonna be the sacrifice?
They don't want to walk up the hill, they're too scary for them, they'll see white one
for a hot second but now can't make that jump, a lot of time wasted just running around,
you know that?
Getting that bit more out of the map, Tundra.
The PA in the storm, they're starting to do what PA in storm does, farm it up, and the
PA as we said might go some kind of weirdish, but he's got the mantle queued up, he almost
has it finished as well, they're going to have dispels on, they're going to kind of
have the triple dispels on all three of the course, right?
When the Lotus comes out and the Mantis there for the PA and the Griefs, they're gonna be able to have all the answers for the Global.
Quite early.
Dark Mago! Getting pulled!
Oh my goodness!
He's out to the sky for the Stoomato and BZM to chase him down!
So they'll get himself!
Didn't even pop the Global during the pull or anything, they just held on.
I thought they were going to try to at least save it, but maybe they want to use it for an aggressive play rather than defensive, but no. Dark Logo's just dead.
Continuing to get every power rune as well, BZM. Again now, Arcade plus the shield rune for the upcoming play.
Really pops off. Yeah, he has it.
As soon as they kind of killed him, they're twice in the merge, you know. That riled him up there.
And he's hitting back hard here, BZM.
Yeah, what's it's like I love when I see these types of the two male thing always comes to mind right when he was killed five times
This is so long ago, of course, but the comeback potential easy. I'm truly doing it. It's gonna find out me sure in the trees
Somebody can force out of it silence to just that
Osweb for now. Let's have those the graves pops them immediately
No hesitation has a full kaiosange now on top of everything too. This storm is gonna run rampant with this croak a genius and 33
After getting involved with this team for some time now has gone back
Maximized farm as much as possible. He has a lotus
And the Dakota finds the place play time. We still don't try early
They need to try again
They've just picked up the shadow blade on widths and might be that little extra that allows them to catch turns off God
This game it feels like if they don't win the next fight or the next two fights. It's just over
Tundra getting full control of the map full free farm for a PA plus a storm and for a largito the Largo
It's gonna start singing his song in the fight
Can't set up for a Tormentor.
Should be able to get this one for free.
I say for free.
Tundra, perhaps reading the move, they're immediately going to start the Roshan themselves.
So they'll get that better trade.
And perhaps we'll look for a fight themselves with that, not fearing that Global by any means
is worth.
And of course, sadly, El Misho was the one.
Who did get the Shard?
I think it happens every time now.
I can see it.
He always gets the shard.
They don't give it to the other- the other core.
That's the other core.
And they're all the games you're about to start, so it's been that way?
No.
And the lock goes sometimes?
And the tossboard is quite good this game, right?
Drinking buddies with a plus armor, with a pretty nice crystal PA to save a friend.
Time to...
That's a scary time sample.
Yeah.
They've got to try and survive through these five minutes of...
...a PA with an Aegis that's not afraid to jump them.
I'm sure they want to fight too, but now it's like into an Aegis.
And...
Oh, do we?
It's always a difficult question to ask.
He's running around the mid just in case anybody does show themselves.
BZM is ready to jump at any time, still has shield rune.
Frank Denyta haste rune, by the way, so that was one that BZM was not able to get,
but that's pretty much the only one that he wasn't able to get so far here.
A tier 2, now getting pressured.
The fact that it's the PA lineup hitting the tier 2 and not the Beastmaster SF lineup says a lot.
right? They want to be the ones hitting those objectives. It's not the case right now.
I mean, it really just comes down to just how well we saw that they dealt with that pressure in
the top lane, right? You know, playtime, they were coming out with the pressure. So many
aggressive moves that were so close to breaking Tundra up in that save lane, but they didn't
quite fall to it. They stayed strong, able to dodge, survive through the efforts,
And you can see at this point in a playtime drop, they needed that to go better top.
They needed to crush this PA slow, the PA down, and they couldn't quite.
Tundra, they dealt with it.
Yeah, either one of them, either him or the storm, right? They tried for BZF, but then he came out with a vengeance.
Literally.
They had an incredible...
Honestly, one of the best kind of recoveries I've seen from Storm Spirit after dying twice.
They didn't even look like he died twice, really.
Onto the high ground.
Posing the question to playtime. What do you do? We have triple dispel spirit global. Yep
Just killing your gold away from pure having the desk up
Full solar crest now for him to white bonds got that behind
And put wits he's gone for a full aggressive build which means without a BKB him walking into a fight
So also could just be him dying almost instantly too
Haven't been able to find the angles whatsoever here versus tundra tundra. We'll back up
Still have ages for about three minutes, so difficult for playtime to make any type of move here.
They're kind of just hitting creeps now in playtime too, they're probably asking as well to their command.
Maybe we need two globals. As I see Almecio, he's queued up the refresher.
Maybe it's starting to think about the later stages of how they're going to take the fights versus this PA storm.
They're making this sort of team fight safe for an SF to sort of stand there and just
turret out the damage. It's seeming harder and harder. Yeah it's looking quite
impossible now for play time. Somebody's gonna get on top of this
SF. Yeah.
Waiting for the dive in the mid. Straight away for Dart Margo. They've got the
catch. Same frost is out. Snowball will come out for Snow, for Skofill.
Give them the chance to get out of there. Skofill will die but at least they
to fail, Darm Mago out.
The back up to pull.
I'm easy to back in.
He actually still gets the grab on a waltz,
he just dives in and grabs Darm Mago.
Enough, Frank.
And Darm Mago's gonna buy back Frank.
We'll have to get the roar off to try and run.
Sure.
Sure.
He's pulling it low.
He's throwing it way below the least.
I'm sure that the H is out of his hands,
but that's Frank dead.
No buyback's available on him.
And Darm Mago, he had to buy back for this hole.
Darm Mago's got no game.
They're all full HP, Owen. They're gonna go again if one of these targets shows.
Anybody they pull might just die.
How do they start the defense?
Let's try and lead in.
The punch!
Colts are they all in?
Global as well.
Can attack a half HP but they're not able to finish, but it appears fine and BGM's already starting to turn on towards wit.
It's going to dart, Marga.
They're gonna get healed up.
They're stepping up again, they have to just jump away, they cannot at this point in time.
Really put anyone on the front lines against Tundra, BZF.
Just put the grabs, go field again.
Stumble there to find a bit of safety.
It's time the two of them will survive, but the wreck's getting taken out, the melee falls.
He cuts the tree there, go field, preventing the bush,
who I could have potentially gotten killed if they did get caught in that one.
Back up the full HP, Largo's singing the song.
They're gonna keep going.
No, they don't have to go anywhere.
Nope. Maybe they'll back up and get some power room here. There's a DD if he wants to on BZM. If he wants to see it. But dude's gonna stick in the area.
White mod hunting.
Tough mod though.
Oh, Skuffer's gonna try and go for the initiation.
Why must everybody get a chain frost off? They do get the stun on the ones behind the bush right there. Catches on a boat of break.
And onto the ones where it's this one.
This is so cool.
They're looking to be pretty much out of the Tundra.
Doing it in a bit of a different style here around the pure PA.
They have the confidence to pick it in as best of one, and they played it confidently as well.
Very nicely done by Tundra. They get the win here.
BGM, wait. I mean, he went BGM mode, right?
He sometimes does this in these games where he goes absolutely bonkers.
Now, best fumer mid. This is one of those moments.
He really close it up after those two back-to-back deaths in the mid lane
Absolutely, let the charge here for the rest of game for tundra and and some good stuff to see as well from 33
I'm a bit of a different style from it on this Largo very active
You know he was ready
He was the one that making sure the BGM could go for these moves and strike back because 33 he had his back
He was there with him on these very early plays
Yeah, I thought this very well the next thing I was gonna say was really nice place from them
Ari also getting some really good connections with his Bushwax and 4-1 and 13
continue to always impress upon this hoodwink as we always do see it up the
span that they were trying to do ended up not working versus pure he was farming
and honestly Frank was just falling further behind in the lane so.
He did have a rough one here. Well there we go so at the moment we have playtime
taking a game against XG but now Tundra they take the best of one against
playtime. One of the main things people complain about with Tundra are doing
poorly the last few days is that a lot of their drafts felt outdated maybe this
time around with the PA coming out Lacoste they are ahead of the curve yeah
it did seem like they did quite a lot getting involved early on even though
the store spread he did not have a game very impressed by what BGM was managed
to do in this one because he started with the O&2 and then he popped off
completely, I don't think he died afterwards a single time.
And the first big part goes, still showing that their drafts they have identity and they're
showing that with these type of drafts, you don't necessarily need to go for, like, Kaia
Sanji on this hero, no agonist scepter.
Instead, they just pick up the spells and that's how they played the game.
Yeah, it was really, really good itemization from them.
I think also in the series we saw before, playtime's double pick on 16-17, it was really
cool with like the Ember and Necro. This time they had the SF silencer and I think it also
just goes to show why the response pick of the enemies like it matters so much. I think
while BZM like you said he died a few times in the early game, he did a lot in this game
like afterwards with the Largo and then the Storm together, the PA as well. I think this
time around like playtime needed to find a few more moves in like the minute maybe like
10 to 15. I think most of the Globals were like defensive apart from one so Tundra just
showing up looking good.
Would you guys agree that that was a fairly high-skill match, though?
Yeah.
Because to me, that felt way cooler to watch than the first series.
Flames!
This was a higher-skill match after all.
Straight up.
The fight in the top lane?
That was cinema.
That was really nice.
I love when teamfights look like a dance where you can see if one team makes a mistake here and over commits,
you can see where the mistakes would happen and how it could lead into some snowball for either team.
But it's like one team gets a kill, other team gets a kill, other team gets a kill.
A very nice bit.
It was this one, it was this one.
Yeah, yeah.
Coming up from Skullfile, they've been in a good spot to potentially cast a Requiem on
the multiple of them, but the Global Silence is going to come out with the Roar.
They will be able to kill two supports only here, but then BZM, he's waiting until these
big Alties are used, so no Roar, and also means no Global, and then he has a free entry
to the fight.
Looks very good here for playtime, but they're going to be overextending.
Maybe that's not the fight that out.
No, it is.
It is.
Yeah, the BGM jumps in, jumps in the back line, and then manages the TP out.
So very nicely done by him, knowing that they have no stuns left whatsoever.
Yeah, and that happens like four times in the fight.
That's what I think is really cool about watching a fight like that is one guy's waiting for
something to happen on one side, then somebody on the other side goes in because they were
waiting for that to happen. But then another core that was waiting for that to happen goes
in and everyone knows what their role is in the fight. If, for example, the 33 commits
in to the snowball because it's like he snowballed, he's low HP, directly goes off and playtime
wins this year, wins this game legitimately. Like it would have, it was that important
of a fight. So it's really, it's really cool to see. Makes me excited for, for next game
because thunder is playing super well, but also playtime is playing super well and extreme
rough. Yeah XG day definitely need to step it up and you mentioned like the
individual stuff I kind of want to highlight 33. I think like in this game
most players play pretty well I think play time for that maybe a little bit
more but I really liked in the early game how Tundra were playing like
obviously they're a team that they play Beastmaster a lot right so like going
into the triangle and like shutting down his early game is like step one to like
doing a really nice move but also 33 like leaving his lane down bottom because
to SF Tusk you don't really do that much but if he goes you know with Beast
And he keeps him topped up and then when beast respawns later like they can go there again
Like all of these moves are kind of because they just have more numbers like they bring 33 here
And usually he's the type of player that I think he's more reserved that he will farm his backcams in his lane
But instead this time around just identifying that he can go to his team this made a huge difference
But there are also a couple of times when he feels that potentially a tri-lane start is good
He's gonna make the right moves like he did in this game
I remember when the visor is he when visage was popular where he was starting in the first line
Oh, yeah, keeping to the other side getting two kills because he couldn't lane and then he's back into the game because of the extra
Gold that he was getting so this guy's always up to something
Yes
Well because in the first game we had necrofos and was very big necrofos wins and it's gonna be bad. It was bad
This game that tundra had is is recreatable like he just
Can you recreate it with other heroes?
Because I don't feel like any one of the heroes was particularly responsible for the result.
It was a lot of the gameplay.
Yeah, I would agree.
I think like this draft, you can play it similar, because like we pointed out, I think it had
a lot to do with them understanding how much they can go in, how much you need to kite
back and no matter which of the 33 players, I think he can join his team like that.
If he can identify, we can go here, we can make some moves.
So I think out of the three teams, Tundra looked the best, out of the small sample size we do have.
Because I think the gameplay template against XG, it was kind of free against them.
You get this Necro with Ultimate Free Farm.
I don't think there was that much gameplay to be shown.
Yeah, but also I haven't mind that Extreme Gaming did beat both of these teams at the start in the best of three.
And it was 2-0, so they could definitely do it.
It's just, maybe it was a bit too early for them.
They forgot about this Necro and all they needed is this to wake up, maybe play a pub in between and they're ready to go.
That wouldn't be the first team to need like a wake up game or maybe a wake up series.
Whether they have woken up and will have a competitive game 3 of this tiebreaker, we'll have to find out.
We'll see you after a break for Tundra vs Xtreme.
I was in the water, we got up for the summer
When I fall in summer
Take your toes in the water
When I fall in summer
Take your toes in the water
When I fall in summer
When I fall in summer
Now I've been up this long of this shit all the time
So feel my spirit all over the place
You've got the same power to go up through and my faith
Take your toes in the water and I'll quench your thirst
Take a chance to work without ourselves
Take a chance to work without ourselves
Take a chance to work without ourselves
Yeah, but you wanted to see me
I want to love
But if you choose my fate
Then love comes
Sign me rights while I'm keeping
But don't leave me alive
Blue, blue skies when I'm seen with you
Don't let me go, don't let me do anything for you, my love
Hold me till I'm gone, hold me till I'm gone
Hold me not forever, don't let me go, don't let me go
Hold me till I'm gone, hold me till I'm gone
Hold me until I'm gone, don't let me go, don't let me go
Rush to my phone when it's calling
Cause I'm hoping it's you
Needless to say I'm falling
And you don't have a clue
Sun and rays won't dream me
But the way it made me laugh
Look through the sky, that's what I'm seeing
Know all I wanna got
Hold me till I'm gone Hold me till I'm gone
Hold me until I'm gone Hold me till I'm gone
Hold me till then, don't need a date
Hold me till then, don't let me go
Don't let me go, let me go
Don't let me go
I've been waiting a long time just longing for plans from you
A chance to live in those big town eyes
No telling what my heart would do
When we met, I sure knew
It felt as good as it could be
In that moment though it felt so good
I wondered why you'd notice me
If you gave me just a little time
Get what you're in my troubled mind
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Dream League Season 29 is brought to you by DHL and Chex.
You're watching Dream League Season 29 and we are in the midst of a timebreaker.
Tundra and Playtime have both won one game in this timebreaker and stream gaming did not.
And that means if Tundra was playing up against Extreme next,
when this one, they are in the upper bracket
and both playtime and Extreme will be in the lower bracket
so nobody gets eliminated, that's all nice.
And yeah, we're gonna find out what's gonna happen.
The draft should be coming your way very soon.
I know that earlier, someone said
that they would rather be the second team that starts.
Thank you.
How do you feel like Extreme gaming
is because they just watched this game.
Yeah.
They're surely they are now at an advantage.
The team that goes first and loses usually feels pretty shit.
Like I think the team that wins in the starting then loses,
they're still OK.
But obviously they have to now watch and be like, OK, who's
going to win?
But I think if I'm XG, obviously you
can take the info that Tundra just played.
But I feel like they didn't show that much.
I feel like they didn't show something special other than they
played well.
They played really good.
Whereas XG, I think even taking out the tiebreaker equation,
they don't look good.
they look dismantled to me in a way like they look incomplete and broken
are you just saying that because i'm a colbert gg you want to know because i
actually think they just don't play well like they don't look like themselves
they don't play like a real team i think currently in this tournament
and if you if you run it back necr's band like the game will look completely
different if it's if it's extreme play time
yeah so i i think i think we're going all the
whole way here guys i think somebody had a talk
for extreme gaming. I think Aume Goat is going to bring it back and we're going, this is going to be six games.
We're going to be here forever. We're going to be here forever, infinite loop.
I want to see if NTS is going back to first phase or the last phase because it didn't work out.
I was just checking the games that they did win against playtime against extreme gaming.
They were first-pacing his hero, three out of four games, Storm Spirit twice against Thundra.
It did work out well as a response to Rubik as well.
So, I also want him to step up because last performance was a lot on him
because of these small things that did happen with the Mesh Cookie, Scatter Blast as well.
He was underleveled, he was supposed to be getting like the upper hand in this matchup.
Going back to bottom lane, level six Mortimer's kisses, killed Necro, tried to slow him down.
It never really happened. Sometimes you have a game plan and then the game plan slaps you in the
face and I think he got slapped multiple times so he needs to reset.
They definitely want to retire the Necro for now.
We talked about this concept, I remember who was on the panel, was it you where Aiden was
saying there's this concept of you play a hero?
That was different though.
Who wants to retire as a hero from your side that you pick?
Wait, did I say Necro?
Yeah.
Oh, Snapfire.
Snapfire is better.
Okay, because I'm like, yeah, of course they want to retire.
You've retired the Snapfire.
I'm not saying he can't play it in the next tournament, I'm not saying if they go deep
into the playoffs, he can't play it, but he's silver tier.
He was in a situation that was clearly unfamiliar for him, and he couldn't handle the pressure
as the last pick hero, and when you're last pick, you have to take all the pressure on
your shoulders and like, pop off.
So I think you retire it for now, go back to what Lacoste is saying, early pick him,
his heroes, you know, maybe give him a pep talk, hopefully he can, he can play a little
bit more to what we expect from him, but definitely don't go over the standfire.
So basically he played five heroes this tournament, he played Pango, Storm, Puck, and he played
one game of Sanking, one game of Snapfire, and those two heroes that he played once,
he lost.
Uh, quick, quick question for Science, if you are leaving Necro in do you think?
Oh wait, this is the wrong team's mobbob.
Why didn't they pick it?
They played it, they'll pick it then.
Why wouldn't they pick it?
You know, you just saw how strong it was, sort of for introps.
Will Aume play Necro?
I feel like he would rather he would rather lose
He wants to play draw range. Yeah, he can but he wants but neck was super fun
Why wouldn't you want to play it because it's all me and he needs to right-click maybe not everyone find necro super fun
I guess so wow
Drought first face back off. It's not on my bingo card. He does
Clearly just think that the hero is like very good. Yeah, you know, he has a read on the hero because for yashakaya
on Drow doing some
I haven't tried that yet, so before I say whether it's good or bad, I will just shut up.
Because I play Drow and you don't, I don't think you need that item, but maybe it must feel good.
It has to, if he's going for it. You guys said, I don't remember which one you guys said, you're kind of the same person to me, but...
You never listen, every comment you have is, I don't know who said it, but someone said it.
The Medusa, Kaya-san.
He was the one who kind of invented it, when he was playing against the mana burn as well.
as well as he was saying that yeah we're the same person so yeah back to you
Lacoste anyway they did what you wanted them to do Lacoste there it is nothing
to say first pick one of the heroes. Suck it up and just you know play your own style
of Dota this is how they've been drafting he gets no priority whatsoever
and they are gonna be picking his hero once again. Doom 33 Doom he is a menace
him and Amar are the best Doom players in the world and for a good reason like
They have insanely high win rate on the heroes and they are also doing a lot of tricks
This is maybe something that they are willing to flex if it's a good game for it pure
We'll definitely play it because pure is an insanely talented carry player that can play pretty much anything
He also loves to run these like weird carries
He was the one back in the bedboom team that was playing
CK carry when nobody else wanted to touch it when we had these facets the forging whatever where you're getting that your four
enchantments and then here was the one who was also playing carry dawnbreaker
back in the days I think this was the idea that stick with that boom and they
showed one of the worst performances from the other day like I way back to you
kids back to this thank you back back to me I like the point about flexing the
doom here I could see out of phase I know that Ari plays it a lot is a grim
stroke yeah I like a lot against pango and I think whether grim would be in the
offline as a 3-4 combo with Doom, it's very strong. If somehow you can also, you know, put them both in a safe lane, also very potent.
I mean, or do you guys see something else? Because you should, you're either going to pick your support out of phase that helps you against the pango,
or if you want to be really ballsy, you can also pick your mid-match up into the pango.
I like what, I mean, I'm going back to Bedboom, this is how they won well.
Yes, pretty much. I do consider them to be extremely good team, especially the support duo.
They're called extreme gaming nowadays.
I feel like Silencer plus one is something that they utilize really well in terms of
just running at these very annoying mid-heroes, these StormStreet pangos from four to six minutes
are constantly camping your lane, Silencer in the previous one, like he had a good game
for first like ten minutes and then fell off.
But I'm on the board with the Grimms.
I'm really shocked they didn't ban it.
It just seems obvious to me.
He's doubling Doom hardest pango counter in the game, arguably.
It's pretty crazy.
It beats, they must have some answer to it, right?
Yeah, but I guess so.
Also there was a game a couple of days ago when Falcons were playing against Grimstroke.
It was Malrin Pango, one of the best, if not the best out there.
So the thing about this matchup, if you're getting the first initial jump, if you're
rolling in alone and you don't care about what he's going to do because he's
just disrupting the backline and the Tundra will pick up the storm spirit
immediately. Yeah definitely don't mind this. Then again if you're XG here you
could also just put the pango in the off lane if this is not the matchup you want
to play in the mid lane or you know you just go for like a couple subs I think
that will help you with the storm maybe you go lion plus one and I kind of deal
with that, I think that would also help you, because Storm is very happy in this matchup,
like both in the lane and in the game, Storm doesn't really care.
If you're going to do that, Flex, you probably wait until the 18th pick to reveal it, right?
You can, like double-stop here.
Let's say they want to get like Ember, because it looks good against these two heroes.
If you can also get it against two supports, they just don't pressure Ember at all, that
would be really nice, especially if they do end up going for a Grim.
I feel like Ember is pretty okay against that.
Like he's fine with that.
They go back for the FY Rubik.
Solid.
Yeah, it's decent.
They had the in-game one.
Why didn't that one, was it just not a chance
for Rubik to do anything?
It was hard, I think, for them to do much.
Like, there were a couple spells he could have stolen.
Like, you know, there's Necro,
maybe sometimes you can get scythe,
but if you're never in the driver's seat,
or you're never really killing anyone,
Then it's kind of like rubik is more of a follow-up hero. Yeah, and the game didn't last long at all
Yeah, and they get the underlord themselves
Yeah, that's a they they want to put some
Value on the 18th pick because to me if you're picking underlord when you already have rubik
Like you know underlords never gonna come out against you, right? It's yeah, you're going to get the hero for free
So that means they're really valuing whatever the 18 pick is
I want to see if they want to maybe take, I mean they are still one more support
potentially to be picked, but it's a very very good life stealer game. You are, you
have Storm Spirit on your team, there's no doom on the other side, and this lane
is very difficult for a lot of safe laners with Rubik, Firestorm, once they
hit that level three, pull you back into the pit of Malice. So I want to see if
they are gonna be taking something from White Wand, some like killer lane
potentially that could potentially try to trade back. I think I'm going back to
I feel like this hero just feels super strong in a lot of situations. It's also a frost shield
It's a lot of armor against pango, so it does feel nice
That's a good picture garbage man. No, I don't even remember where that that's true. That's no, no, that's not here
No, how do they get these pictures? That's while Luigi? I think I get that pictures on my phone
I don't someone else must have it too because I didn't give it
Did you post it on...
I don't know. I've posted many Jenkins pictures.
Then it might be one of those.
You called the Lich again?
Yeah, Lich. Big family.
Thanks to Fogged. He is the big Lich player.
That's true. He solo kills people. That guy's good.
That guy's good right behind us.
You're 2KMMR, right?
Yeah. You solo killed T-Governor.
I'm not gonna sit here and lie to you.
I'm thinking about the tomorrow stuff
This is a very important pic clearly they vow they shown us that this is important
So keep talking on locking the iPad for some buttons very curious to see what this is. I mean
How's ember?
It's this is still looking good. It's okay. What's that means that you're gonna not have pangomid
Like why would you get a new cuz you already you already know hmm like where does ember fit?
Yeah, Ember isn't an option anymore for me.
Oh, sorry. Yeah, that's right. That's true.
So they get the Luna. How do we feel about Luna on 18?
I'm not sure.
Very okay.
I'm processing, currently.
I mean, it rounds out the drafts pretty nice.
You know, they have two big fat heroes to go in for Luna, which is nice.
Some good disable to keep people locked down. They have some damage issues. Luna solves that.
You don't necessarily know what you're leaning against. Luna will do fine.
Uh, Leni gets almost anything, so...
Luna, in my opinion, on this patch is always just...
It's good, it's good, yeah.
The hero that does extremely well, safe.
A lot of, like, you always have the damage we have moved away from Agadam Scepter build,
ever since the change to 15 and 20 talent, so you are going for the full right-click mode.
And she comes online super fast, especially if you're off to a good start.
This hero is one of the fastest farmers in the game.
I'm looking at what fives you want here for XG because storm is one of the best mids against
Luna overall.
Like you can kite her, you can jump her, she's not like the highest HP hero.
So I'm just looking overall like is there something else you can pick on five that is
not just good with Luna in the lane but also has like maybe a root or a stun.
I'm okay with some tasks, it's not like the best hero against Storm in general, but I think it gives them very good laning.
This team is also obsessed with Phoenix. I feel like every single time I tune in into extreme gaming line-ups, there's Phoenix, yeah.
Hmm, how about, maybe it's a weird pick, but somehow there's a treant in my head.
Why?
Because you have BKB Lockdown against Doom, you lane okay with Luna, maybe you don't, I don't know, but it's just a hero that came to mind.
Because I would prefer a melee guy, I think.
Don't seem very impressed.
I don't think it's as bad as the stats would show. Like nobody touching the hero.
It didn't get nerfed that much. It's definitely viable.
There was a little while after the patch and Pro level post people were trying it.
They go for bank. I mean, it's like a pseudo melee hero. You're gonna run it in body in the lane
Yeah, I think they're potentially perfect. I did mention Lyskiller earlier on
Lich potentially but I think they also want to have a BKB piercing tool just to have a better overall
I think it's there to carry matchup. Lich hoodwink is really cool by the way
I never really thought about this as a combo
But the fact that if you ever do bushwhack two people together you vacuum them in just to kill chain frost they just get wrecked
It's not a
Normal combo, but you can see tundra obviously like they think this is just good
It's a lot of damage like you're never gonna be lacking damage with these two supports
Our early game is super strong rotation to the mid lane camping the six-minute rune and then playing super aggressive
We saw in the playtime series where hoodwink got like level six seven minutes in and just completely dominated game with that
You said it
I'm not doing it on purpose. You keep saying six seven minutes six seven days six seven back
It's it's a donor term six minutes the rune spawn seven minutes XB shrine gotta go. How's Kez against underlord?
It's kind of what I mean you're fine against him in lane, but I don't think this is a crazy good case game
Muerta!
Out of all the Murta games I've seen I like this one quite a lot
I still think on the Lord makes it quite annoying because you don't have any disbells
So if you get paid it or later he is agg that's quite annoying for you to enter the fight, but I like it a
Lot of range heroes on their sides good against pango as you said that there is
insane amount of magical damage coming out from rubik on the Lord and
Luna as well one eclipse with no real sales on their side a
Amurta is a type of a hero that does have like this 50-50 to it, it can be very hit or miss.
If you're off to a good start, if you're getting the items it's fine, but if you're playing it from behind,
if the enemy carry has like half an item, an item ahead of you, it can feel a bit of lackluster,
especially if you're playing into a lot of magic damage.
I hope that XG, like after the laning phase, like early on you can pressure the Amurta, that's fine,
But later I would like them to have the idea that you pick Luna, Doom is slow, like play through the Luna lane, bring your Pango there, look to Gator even with your Underlord, and just like make Tundra move heroes there to try and protect the Doom, or just like speed up the game.
Because I think if they don't do this, I just really don't see their game going well if they play it differently.
So it's really up to extreme gaming to execute their line-up to perfection because Tundra has more freedom to make mistakes?
In a way, yes, but it's also what XG like kind of drafted Luna wants to win her lane play fast
But I want them to put heroes to that lane and play like that. I
Think this is it shiver. I think XG has done it. They've draft draft to themselves
Something very normal. You got nothing to say on the first pick. He'll not completely hard counter in the game
I still do fine and Aume is on scuffed draw ranger Luna
Which in my opinion is a better version of draw ranger, so I think they've done it
they've cooked here. Well, if extreme gaming has cooked successfully, if extreme gaming
win this game, it means the tiebreakers are tied! And that means we're going to go again
with the same three teams, with the same three potential games, but we'll extreme gaming
push us to a second tiebreaker. We'll find out without a pixel on the phone.
And we got a straight in the middle, ready in the mid!
Both teams coming in for a clash.
That was cute.
Neither able to get a kill though, both will be able to back off.
So here we go, another best of one, this time Tundra.
Going against Extreme.
As the panel said, indeed if Tundra gets the win, they are going to be moving forward.
So who's skilled the worst abilities level one?
It's gonna be the enemy.
There's a pit that was skilled and a side in the nightmare.
So these are kind of debatable pit, probably not one you want to do,
to be debatable so let's do a repercussion that has relating phase slightly because I do think
that Tundra they skilled pretty normal. Let's see what we got because overall does seem like Tundra
with that lineup right great stuff super strong the heroes in their hands is on the greedy side
but that's a little greedy. Tundra's comfort. XG they have got a very good lineup that can come
together around the Lunar right if they hit the earlier timings which let's be honest not normally
the timings that XG's been playing for normally a team in this tournament that's been taking games
a little bit later, but if they are able to play fast here around this luna, we've seen
it before from other squads, right? When it comes together, it just takes over the game
20 to 30 minutes in, and London, like Tundra, if it's behind, might struggle to deal with
that.
Yep, we literally saw that exact case from what was it, VP, when they played, the luna
got completely shut down, had no game, and then the centaur, I believe it was from the
off, then comes in with the double auras, and it's a very simple type of playstyle with
the underlord, right? Get the auras, buff up the luna, and then eventually the five-man
ball, could be super strong. Let's see if they can do that because Tundra very good at manipulating
games and getting them into a position where they can take these type of fights rather than just
taking a head-on clash in particular in all these horrors. So let's see what we do get.
And this guy's bottom lane goes, since he did skill pit level one, which is obviously not optimal,
but he's going to have pit anyway, right? He wants pit in the lane no matter what.
Yeah, I mean this is, is this pretty much the, would you say the best kind of pairing with the
the underlord in land, the underlord very big business, but this is the duo you want.
By far.
I think it's the absolute best, you just, yeah, you keep putting them inside the pit.
Great damage mitigation as well too, with the phase bolts that you can turn in, oh,
the creep wave turn around, wait, what?
Okay.
There's a weird creep wave kind of situation that's going on down here.
They'll get the range deny and XG though, they're happy.
Well overall, did you like the way that they ended them with pure getting the monitor?
It's very up their alley, right, and I think it's exactly what the panel was saying, where
he wants to occupy bottom as long as possible, pango rotation comes, he just pop bolts,
So I think it's a bit of a style and I think the calling is always something really strong
in particular, also versus Pango.
Yes, super-gone.
You kind of get clipped by that silence and suddenly, you know, you're not necessarily
always going to have an item in your build early on right to help you with that.
Yeah, I like having, you know, the carry, having these extra little disables and extra
anything versus like the Pango in particular.
So I think Wyrtza for me is one of the best versus the Pango.
But the lane, that's the one thing that is going to be a little bit more risky, I guess
you could say first of the underlord rubik you're pretty immovable so you do at
least have to let you out of the back of the shield of such a little bit of
damage reduction but it's all magic then it's mostly yeah you're gonna get at
least brought down very long HP yeah so let's see how I think his lane is gonna
be a little bit slower than probably expected on the where to but the mid
game you can absolutely see the reasonings to why he would want to
It's
Be careful here pure
They didn't throw him back
I do we go clip up silence right the cooling. Oh, you did okay. Yeah, I think they must have yeah
I must have been right. I was like wait, why did you throw back a true?
Usually don't see the calling skill this early. So pure really known to protect himself. So
Yeah, good eye there.
Plug grenade used too, down bottom, so
might not be able to get as aggressive as they want to afterwards. Pure lived, I mean in some crazy ways in that past game.
It did. On that TA.
Lived with like 16 HP two times and was able to survive, so.
Because yeah, if he even died kind of one of those extra times, like that lane with a snowballed really, really hard out of control for him,
Yeah, that game was that game was really on like this really tight sword edge
It felt like we're could have turned very quickly, but either way
Not the case after that lane ended up going that way
And I really cool that pure did go for the calling points early because you don't see most people do that
Yeah, I'm recognizing
I mean it was just the fact that it can put a stop to this
Underlord Rubik play that they want to go for army just got hit by the double bounces of the coconut is 33 having these creeps
This time they do get the drag back into the damage, and it's enough to bring him down.
They'll get first blood down here and do a lot of damage as well to Wyemoth.
Can't go for the trade.
So once he might have been able to stop the setup last time, couldn't stop it this time.
Top, next nobut, the spam is starting to add up. He's not to sleep, is it enough to save him?
One more nuke.
Quite annoying.
Hey, 33's not gonna get him. He's gonna live.
Looks like Armae was okay to sort of circle the creeps under the tower whilst this pressure
was coming in from Tundra.
That was actually quite fortunate for Armae.
He'll low go Armae.
Yeah, now he's dangerously low again.
He's only got a couple of stick charges and a fairy fire.
Is that going to be enough to keep him alive?
It is not an ex-Norah.
Should be alright for now if they haven't got much mana left on Tundra to play with.
I think Armae actually was probably going to die even earlier if they didn't go for
the play on the base.
But I think he got a couple extra last hits at the least because they didn't end up going for that vein
But Ari and the doom very high kill threat up here on both of these heroes
Just hoodwink plus anybody honestly this hero is insane
Cooling will cause a little bit of an issue stopping f1 from being able to go straight away for that telekinesis
Follow it now be able to get it
But he's coming don't already gone pushback comes in a cool shot stairs one not enough to kill f1 straight away
They'll still find him. He's going for the next target as well to Ari.
He takes off for them. This would be pretty huge. They get a good turn around there with the angle of the dead shot from pure
XXS. Stick charges already used. He is taken out as well.
Hi Ari. What an early game from him. Perfect rotation coming down after getting the kill top.
He has so much manner to work with from the stick charges we're seeing.
And he pretty much was doing this last game right.
He was. In a similar sort of fashion ensuring that the lane of which they had this kind of PA situation didn't crumble too much.
held it together for Tundra and he gave the last hit the pure there so he was
waiting to make sure that the Muerta is able to get that secured kill since we
said you know it could be a little bit of a dangerous lane from where to but now
with our third rotation ends up putting him in a very good spot all three cores
in a very comfortable spot we haven't even talked about BZM but he's just been
chilling playing for that angle and when he saw what he was able to do on the
storm when he was having a bad time in lane last game so if you want to try and
punish him before the six should be able to get him with the rubik he's got one
Charges in a fairy fire won't even bubble with them knows that he's dead
This is what we wanted to see them do in the previous time when he was playing snapfire, right?
Nothing to say we wanted to see them playing around him here
So a nice rotation to shut down the storm and should be able to get the power of ruin as well for nothing to say
And things have calmed down a little bit at least for our man the top lane
Nothing to say with this amp damage could look to make an early move since the you know
It's gonna take some time for the level 6 to come out for the Muerta as well too.
We'll see what nothing to say wants to do.
Does have a catapult mid white right now, so they could put some good pressure onto the mid tower.
See if the two supports do want to play around him or not.
He's got a full creep wave, plus a catapult, plus a DD.
So he's making the aggressive move instead.
Gonna go for 33.
Closing the gap, they go shut up, nobody is going to pull the, ending up to help him.
Nice clean rotation, won't be able to turn it into a shrine of wisdom, it looks like
Ari should be able to just secure this one.
Probably wanted to try to turn that into that, but not quite able to.
XXS will get it on the other side, so his level 6 might come a bit sooner than they
expect.
Not quite there yet, but that fiends get always going to be something they have to expect
They have coming moments.
The bottom lane has stable lights completely from here.
Yeah, they weren't really able to make more of those aggressive players with the pit and the telekinesis, so pure has been fine.
And white line, level 5. Approaching at 6 relatively soon.
More spam coming out, Ari going to make them move to push X-X-X out of the lane.
They try for the kill.
They are going for it.
It's going to have to back up a bit.
Ooh, why that Fadebolt comes in. We'll be able to stop them from going for the kill.
There's an interaction we'll talk about in a second.
We'll talk about it in a second.
There is...
A bit of an awkward angle because BZN's here as well in response.
They get the kill.
So a lot of these movement displacement abilities, if you're using hoodwink bushwack at the same
time, as soon as the movement displacement ends, the bushwack gets cancelled.
So the gaze was still active as the bushwack hits.
There's like seven different abilities in the game that have this interaction.
So, unfortunate for why I'm on a cape.
Get the Underlord, but they get a free Exnova.
Kind of delivered himself on a sobered planet.
Nothing to say, with his next power rune, looks like he does want to go for Pure, and
Pure is incredibly low, and he's about to hit 6, but would be a very good timing if
he does find him.
Especially around this point, could get the chance for some good bounces.
Oh my god, he's going to hit the 6 right here, see if he's quick to get it off, though.
Rolling Thunder, not even then.
Not going to need it.
The nukes are low, burst through, not able to react in time.
Really nicely done for nothing to say, beautiful read.
have a pretty good game this time around on that pango might even go for the
diving nose that someone's down there yep wipe on it's trouble can he juke it
you will
sorry thinking about coming through the gate he's teasing them he has vision he
might be giving away this word though if he continues to do this for too many
times but yeah yeah I've got a war down yeah nothing to say swaps the century
He's gonna be able to kill that one
Yeah, thanks for the free D-Walk. Yep. Yeah, they are he's just gonna bluff in it, right? Well, it ends up giving it away, but
Oh, BZM! He's found Arma!
Oh, I found him!
Arma's found him!
Oh, well
Arma is gonna be very happy with that one and a rare mistake there from BZM on the storm trying to go for that
That?
I cannot believe that just happened in a professional game, just dying to the Lunar Eclipse like that as a store spirit.
That is rough.
I mean, Army, now I'm asking about this, really just got handed so much.
That's a massive boost for Army.
Okay, split bottom, chain frost bottom.
Balance is very expensive.
Yeah, X-X-X has gone.
As if we can get Fyre as well.
There we go.
Going surrounded with the four of them.
Everybody gets some good stuff going down bottom, but yeah, Army is quite happy.
And we've all just went down up top BZM caught by the nightmare, but no stitch yet on X Nova
Rolling Thunder!
Good angle!
They got the perfect angle for the perfect bounce!
Ooh! Not quite!
Not quite.
He's going to get the chance to break out of this.
BZM will get the power rune as well.
And you see he zips the direction he's facing when you're getting pango chains done.
Always very important to do that just in case of things so that you don't have to turn
and go for the zip touch up.
33 does get the tower.
We'll get out as well, not quite able to have enough lockdown or damage between the two of them.
Pretty early that he's able to find this tower.
He's farmed.
He is quite big as he tends to be. He's queuing up the radiance as well too, so he's looking to have that scaling as we've seen a good amount of these dooms do even from the off-laner.
He's going to try again.
Round two.
This time there's no Eclipse.
Still a bit of hesitant though, wants to wait for a little bit more backup.
The 1v1 didn't go great last time.
He's got the Sharpshooter backup now.
I'm a slingering.
Ooh, little of the mark with the bush, but it doesn't matter though. Vortex, end of the blast.
Gonna get some revenge here, BZ up.
Big kills. Lightmon, very high level of course too, as Lich tends to beat, that's why it's getting picked so much as well.
The sacrifice, we saw how much it can do. Bottom, the chain frost, pre-10 minutes.
Underlord is quite shut down now. Next excess, he is the bottom of the cores after these two deaths.
A couple of games now where Tundra have just been able to set up their safe lane, that...
Just that well that they haven't been crushed in a way that I think both opponents have hoped for with the lane setups.
Yeah, 100% for sure. This Underlord Rubik has definitely done very well in a lot of matches.
This one they just had a little bit extra preparation and I mean, are they right?
These little rotations that he did absolutely made it so they could get these situations for pure.
And of course BGM this game, not playing versus the silencer, right? He's going normal build.
He's gonna build just two treads, soul ring, kaia.
Not gonna need to go for that greaves kind of style.
Power rune.
It'll be up top.
Okay, steal for FY. Not a great one, but decent in the early game.
Of course, wanting the stun instead, but...
33 having some pretty crazy farm. Just continues his watch's network.
These are a thousand ahead of everybody else.
And all about that speediness, you know.
We always talk about 33 with the efficiency of movement.
Wind blade, drop, all the little things to make him move around faster, even the cold bolt, speed aura.
That's hard to keep up with.
Yeah, speed boy.
There's the smoke, Maxj.
Got the grip, ready to go. If he can get that open and catch.
Have to protect the beam though.
There's a lot of ways to cancel it, even from distance, including pure.
You can shoot that dead shot from a far ways away, or the storm can zip and pull.
I mean, they're looking to try and set up on Twerk's success.
So this wraparound might catch them by surprise. Depends how quickly they can kill X-Tep's their soul.
On the 2nd one, yeah, very quickly.
The wraparound though, from behind, who is going to fight?
Just watch Buckle into the 2 of them, Ari's.
They can out, they get the nightmare set up as well on a ward's white mon, rolling thunder's coming in.
The course leaves immediately.
They get the 2 support, the angles there though.
They get the catch on to the big one, BZM found in the trees.
The wraparound from X-Tep, massive success.
Perfect bait, I mean that may not bait from the Underlord, but yeah perfect read of the movement that's coming out there from XG
FY is looking for another grab has a very good spell. This is a nice one having the frost blast high damage nuke
Initially the dead shot was pretty good too. It actually barns the pangum before the initial move there
But good persistence from XG to chase forward
Yeah, BZM a bit unfortunate, he was trying to step to low ground, I was like, wait, what
happened here with him?
But yeah, didn't get to the low ground there and gets caught from the stuns.
Very close.
Make sure this pan goes in a very good position, the defusal blade is at a very good time,
level 11, and the storm, you know, BZM having a much tougher time this game.
Zero and three so far, you might be able to find X-Men over here.
Cost a lot of mana though, but gets himself a Galvanize.
Now, all in all, HG likely to hit those timings.
They are?
They are going to get to that point in the game where Army is going to feel pretty strong rallying around that of X-XS.
But he's not going to laura build on X-XS.
It is true.
I'm very surprised by I know that how good that the staples are they do want that extra lockdown for the form
But Luna wants auras and I guess I mean obviously do have some potential savers, right?
They've almost got the nightmare eventually. They'll be the shard from effort. There's ways to help that's true
So maybe he's just looking more about the aggressive manner. I just you know for a man. He's very fragile
That's the one thing I thought Luna's there's a lot of burst damage if you do get gone on can be very dangerous
Especially if you're going up with this mantra into axe build, but you're not getting a BKB any time soon
He is going the axe which is really interesting because we've seen a lot of people just kind of stray with it
But because he's versus Muerta, I think that's the reasoning right you should just drop the only and then you just kill everybody else
Yeah, other stuff. Okay, so it's a different build
But it's something we used to see when the 15 talent was the eclipse cooldown quite a lot. So
See if that ends up working out for him. I
Can see the idea
Something the trees believe
Ready. I did see them there for a quick second, since she was prepared to.
Smoke again. Looking to get catch, to see what this means here.
They still have the spell stolen for FY as well too, so he's going to have double or triple nuke for whoever they do find.
Long zip.
Good push back as well. Sharp Shoot is coming in hard.
James Frost is there from Whitemon. It's going to be the two of them gone and BCM he'll live.
Pure gets the double. Eclipse comes out but it's only going to really clip onto Whitemon.
The Duke of the Nightmare drags back onto Pure as well.
He's on!
I have to rexify the teamfight there with the help of Axe.
Now if it gets to double kill back in his favor onto Pure as he appears, turns out gets the double.
I can do that as well!
Again, another good read by XG.
understanding where the move is gonna hit they get the wrap around again with
their quick smoke movement in Hame. He's the one who gets the big kills up to 13
and they'll deny a regen rune away from the storm spirit as well.
There's some good involvement here from Hame, absolutely necessary with the tempo
they want to play with this line-up backstreet and he passed a great healing
lotus from Hari on to BZM. I think it's a little extra that's saved him there.
As you see right here it gets healed up.
X-XS is truly having to be the sacrifice, but hey, for Armey, you gotta do it.
Grip on mid, he's him.
He's dead.
Yeah, he's long enough, I mean, into the pit, yeah, they've got absolutely enough locked down.
He just literally t-beat into his death.
Having a bit of a tougher one this time.
Oh, really?
You know, we saw the last game, he kinda had a rough lane and then popped off, this time around, but the lane was pretty good, right?
But now it's kind of been the inverse.
He's kind of dropping off since then, had that bit of a misplay going for the one we won earlier against Armey,
now getting caught in such fashion he's falling behind massively as the storm
it's pretty crazy I can see that difference but he played so clean so
purple last pinch this one just these little stuns are tripping him up in
the eight toes from xxs for sure you know it's gonna be very complicated to
play against
and on me so far not needing the auras right so the build absolutely key for
underlord and i'm not saying that the build is that
means how eight toes is like OP it's completely broken
it's a bit different to what you would necessarily see other teams do right
Yeah, exactly so but it's because he's versus storm. Yeah, so there is matters a ton of merits
For the underlords to have all these type of things is already might be the catch again, too
Too much of the moment anyone they catch they'll kill get this trio
Will kill pretty much anybody and it's a stolen sharpshooter. It's a great deal for f1
It's gonna be very very careful
And let's use all his manner to get right away from them. He's not getting to farm at all
70 just completely zipped away over and over again here.
33 is soaking up a lot of space and he's not really getting too involved, so we'll see what he does when he gets involved with this Radiance.
This guy's just a pal to the 2 of them.
33 would be a pretty massive kill if they can get him and that flies up the stolen sharpshooters so they have heavy burst themselves.
33's gonna try and run but nothing stays.
He's gonna slow him down and catch him out with the rolling thunder. They'll get wipe on as well.
Has he been killed yet? Killing off 33.
He uses Doom, doesn't get a kill and he's been farming this whole time.
Yes, you suck. Turn out Piñata. They just pop it open. Lots of money.
Just farm will start to pick up quite a bit now that he's been able to get away with it.
Complete him in the own app.
Yeah, museum. He's gonna have to find some type of recovery from his teammates making space for him.
And my goodness, Exnova is so active this game.
He's everyone. And he's got bean script ready to go again.
Fuck, he just used it. Then it's up again.
Most of them have been successful onto a core of this game so far here.
Bit trickier here in this area close to the tier 2. Even if he does fine, pure, likely backup will be there.
X-X-S can go back to base and heal though, and then they'll have the fiends gate, so they could bring the numbers to look for that for pure.
2K lead now, 4XG.
Very happy spot. Shield rune on nothing to say. With a blink, dagger also finished off for the next fight.
And the next fight, Tormentor and Rosh, soon going to be something the team start to think
about.
And Hame's going to be very dangerous in early game with this Aghanim build.
He's going to be providing an insane amount of damage versus no mitigation whatsoever
on the side of Tundra.
Anyone will die.
Gonna be a very quick ult in response there from Pure.
I'm a bit of extra time for the ult soon to come to an end and nothing to say, he's in
with the Rolling Thunder, they're in on top of Pure.
An X now but dies, but he absolutely sets that up perfectly, allows them to kill the
carry and BZM's pretty much out of mana.
Nothing to say, has the angle.
Another pit.
Pits there.
They're gonna have to control.
BZM will try and zip away, but he hasn't got enough mana to escape this.
Dead again.
XG.
I mean, yeah, these pain movements from Xenova are definitely getting into the heads of Tundra and you can see peas
Yeah, but he feels that this game is a tough one for him
And they can't even it took them forever to kill the bane even hood
Arie was going for the secondary target trying to stun the rubik and ends up missing and then he has to use the
Sharpshooter to finish the bane because it almost looks like storm is gonna get fiends grip the whole duration
Yeah, this is great moves from XG and they're likely the ones to get that tormentor now because of all this
so many catches they're able to get with this trio.
They're in the group again, the Underlord.
And Almex, X on.
Mid-game team fights.
Super strong, Xarney.
Insanely strong.
Tundra probably needs to wait until a BKB now,
in terms of contesting.
It feels like, I mean, because it is that sort of different approach
from XG in the sense that they are trying to use this timing
and use this draft in a much more aggressive fashion.
It's not that they're going to turn up
and you're not going to be able to kill them
It's the... they're gonna turn up and they're gonna kill you before you can do anything.
Exactly, and with the Tormentor they get probably the best, one of the best shards in the game, right?
They do get that Rubik's Shard, getting that lift, he's gonna go to save the Luna potentially.
It's very farmed also on FY this game.
Joe?
Gets the stylus.
You get caught by the rolling thunder, FY.
If he gets his way out of this tunnel, cannot.
Press PGM, we'll get the gatch on him, so.
A little bit of something there for BZM and Pure.
Check jinxed for a fly after he's having a pretty much flaw this time.
Wax bottom gives a pretty big kill to them.
Aghanim's timing has been hit.
BKB is done for the doom, so 33 is gonna look to get involved and soak some pressure.
Oh and he- ooooh, very close to one another there.
One's in illusion though.
He's- he's gripped.
They've got the grip for the BKB.
I mean it's gonna be extra, but surely dying, but can they get something more from this?
They've got the stars to drop the tune down on a WXX dash.
They want more on Tundra.
Eclipse is ready to go down, BKB's come to an end on 33s though,
and Ami just happily drops the Eclipse on his head and kills him off,
and with that X-XS, he's gonna get the chance to live.
So not the BKB reveal there that 33 hoped to come in with.
Like, they're playing so, honestly, actually he's playing so well, right?
The second they saw the BKB, Ami's like, I'm getting the hell away, and then...
But he's ready to turn.
...when he can turn, he can throw out that Eclipse.
So just perfect reads of the scenarios, and again, X Nova, the grip.
How many times is this being gonna be able to do this?
the two supports coming in so clutch.
And for Tundra, yeah, that was the BKB reveal.
That was the one that they wanted to get, like, a one or two sequence of kills.
Not able to get much of anything on the first reveal.
It's hard for BZM to itemize now at this point.
Always was gonna be hard versus the Underlord, but...
Wanting a BKB, but not wanting them because there's so much disable and needs to go for Lotus, but he's so far behind.
Things are looking very good for the side of XG. Around this Luna, timings are beautiful. Level 18 is hit as well.
Let's see when they do want to threaten that Roshan. Perhaps waiting for the butterfly on Ame.
Or when it ships bottom in particular, right? Cause doing it around topside can be a little more dangerous.
Dias Middletown is under attack.
I guess this is the only TPN trying to at least get on out of the tower.
Illusions are still there in this tower.
We're going to pull that 24 minutes in, not to say ready to dive in.
Alright, we'll get a force away.
Continue to apply tons of pressure. Two towers claimed. Looking for the topside now too.
Maybe they're going to find tons, or 33 of them.
He's going to want to get out of it. He knows that they're heading in this direction.
So instead of a BGM, just zip TPs out this corner of the map.
of the map. They're truly punishing all the greed. And instant movements, like they see
one, they see them like shift out from top, I'm already seeing FY and nothing to say,
kind of make their movements down toward bottom. So look for these places again here. Sure.
We'll walk into nothing to say. I was looking for an aggressive move.
It does at least have the Lotus now, so BGM has one thing to bail them out, won't get
chain lockdown inside of that pit now. Unless he gets caught from another disable. In between,
you know, the Lotus isn't about. Tundra needing more time, but the time XG is farming very
fast during it all in the meantime, Ahme, the timings are being hit, level 20 soon for
him, butterfly on the horizon and that rose, it is shifting bottom. What is that better
their position for them to fight around.
That can have to be a pretty crazy chain for Austin.
Pure finding the chance to position himself perfectly in the center of the fight.
He does have the BKB, so has a little bit easier option to be able to hit targets,
but there's still things that go through it of course.
Yeah. And we got Tundra.
Gonna try and see if they can use their strength now with that BKB pickup.
Let's see who jumps who.
Could could start to get pretty messy this game. It's time to lose this fight. Blink is coming out for the doom
Scout
They're gonna try and go for armor at least poke something out of it
They'll come up with the vortex at the grip from the side. He's got pretty deep rex over xx
That's ready to back him up. They'll quickly look to deal with the bane first
I'm gonna say he's surviving through this. Not to this day. We'll be able to roll away
BGM is out of mana
They've only killed x over and out of mana BGM. He'll get out of the range of the eclipse
Still super low here, the swashbuckle knows the king will be still alive, BZM.
It will survive, just a support for support for now, if I get embashed by the roast.
Roshan's Pete is asking about it.
Roshan actually getting the kill out of that one, so just a couple of supports dead.
That was XG, just a one for Tundra.
That was so close to both BZM and nothing to say dying, both at what?
1% HP, something like that?
So close. Arcade Rune will be claimed from BZM. Doom is still available and Doom still has BKB, so quite a bit expended from XG there.
And Kota not too bad though on that clip, because he's back up in about 20 seconds or so.
Yeah, he's literally got it right there.
XNL, but probably needing to have that grip he used on a core though, right?
He didn't even boost an RA.
We boosted him, played aggressive around the bang. He went straight in there.
Yeah. I think he saw that like the stuns were all used.
use show just on opportunity to grab a hoodwink but ideally wants to get that
onto one of the big course
clips back at the ready
time just showing that Roche is not gonna be so easy for XT to just walk
into though they're very prepared in that area
greedy starting to come out greedy tumbler toy greedy I believe it was on
the doom as well to greedy Koga flames of course 33 wanting that one we can
Check across the board these neutrals, then we have a moment.
Pretty solid ones across the board.
Double serrated shives on the two right clickers, and then, yeah.
Sure, of course, in season where it's a little bit of a different one.
Marks this brand is so good for him.
Smoke up. Looking for the angles.
Smoke on, smoke action.
Well, that last time, it seems came out pretty even.
This is such a nice soda, honestly. It's very coordinated for all of us.
It's close, but they think the best of one's building up today.
That's the other side of the map.
They'd be looking for the Underlord. If they can pick him off when he's isolated, that is the dream.
He does have the agonies finished off, so his control in the next fight has gotten pretty crazy.
They might get him as well if they sweep down south, after passing by the back of the tier 2.
The line's being drawn on.
They're looking at the camps that are cleared, and they're like,
Okay, if we're thinking in our brain, this is the sequence that he's using.
He's a little bit too much of a step ahead, it seems, though.
He knows.
They can't quite catch up to his farming positions.
They sweep the Tundra jungle, they found the ward, and nobody contested them.
So they're like, wait, something's up. Watch out, X-X-X-X.
And they'll get over to the pit now, and now, obviously, with the movement on the other side,
Tundra can't really connect to this that quickly.
So, X-G, they should get this one.
Unless BZM goes for the big set.
Is he gonna try
Already got ages there for our bank
He is big 21k
Having a pretty flawless game so far for him in the BKB soon on the horizon as well to protect versus any of this control
I'm in they're gonna want to just go for a high ground attempt. I would say just surely I
Would imagine so yeah, maybe want to just fall for the BKB first your way to you know
He is what 200 gold away from it
But now they just the DKB at this point around this butterfly Luna
The high ground is gonna look kind of tempting. Yeah, at least look for a fight to potentially get you those kills
I can lead you into that one under lords still not quite having the BKB, but it's okay for them
Yeah, I think for Tundra the name of the game is gonna be don't let them at the base right nuke the waves out push them out as
Much as possible so they can't get to that angle
Wait on high grounds for potential cats as well
What damage rune as well, everything's really sort of falling into place here, 4XGs have really do some damage.
Hey, bottom lane is in, right? So they could potentially look this huge down here right now.
Just trying to get the mid creep wave moving in their favor, XG, and indeed also swing round towards the bottom lane.
And it's a double catapult wave that's not coming with this wave, but with the following one, so that's going to be pretty potent.
Tunger's going to have to respawn.
See if they can push him off.
I need the side wanting to drop anything too big right now.
A really good spellsheal.
He gets the calling.
A BGM might just zip into a ghost and die.
And I'm trying to set things up.
Might be able to pit.
The eclipse can drop down as well.
Nothing to say.
Rolls forward.
It'll push Tundra back.
That's a bit aggressive there.
I mean BGM tries to get back in.
Bates out the pit.
That was quite over-aggressive from the side of XG.
out the pit. That was quite overaggressive from the side of XG. We'll have to back away.
Don't get punished for the aggression at least. I mean maybe that was the core. They just
wanted to kind of throw this all in there to ensure that they force everybody back to
the base on Tundra. If Tundra smokes though and finds the fight right now between this
window it could be very problematic, especially if they hunt the Underlord. He's not going
to be able to join his team with that fiends gate. See what the call is going to be made.
They hit the scan, they're up here on the high ground.
They might just take the fight here.
Looks like X-Nerv is on watch that.
They're dangerous, but they're gonna look for it, EZM.
They're gonna go for Army.
Silence from F5, we'll clip him immediately.
X-Nerv has been caught this time.
There's gonna be a pain out of the fight.
That's the fight position.
X-T is okay with that.
Pure success.
Stepping up.
That's pretty dangerous, that's fair.
Has the team ready to drop if necessary?
No, just the damage from Pure is enough to tear X-X-S to pop.
I can't believe he stepped up there.
He knew all five were there.
Maybe perhaps expecting that Tef-Y was gonna be able to save him with the lift,
but that was super dangerous from X-X-S after he's played so safe for so long.
Tundra.
Big kills.
Starting to feel in a more comfortable position to step out for Pure.
Starting to show his strength.
It's always the danger of using these spells over aggressively and not getting a connection.
A team can't punish them with the timings.
BGM starting to recover, Kaia's dodge, Lotus is done.
Getting closer and closer to his BKB to have the protection versus the pit.
So they can chase Tharys.
It's not an easy one to chase.
And the one that they won't be able to succeed in chasing, Arzab.
They're truly stabilizing it.
I mean, a 6k swing in just the last few minutes, picking up some big items, they'll get the Torbenzer on the side of XG.
This way, I'm gonna fill up with this last minute. Surely they want to get back in on pushing this bottom lane.
Right? I feel like the same thing, but it's just not the easiest for them at this point now.
Get the shot, Alicia, for Army.
That's a good one.
Makes you very speedy on the Luna.
Pure, the next item timing is going to be a really crucial one for him too, versus that
Lunar, then he can focus Fire on mech.
Oh yeah, he can kill him pretty quickly with the MKB and the ult popped.
Next chief, gotta be careful in these next few moments.
Don't let this game fall out of their hands for now.
Stundra's absolutely making their recovery in the farm as we set a bit of greed in their
lineup.
It's starting to get that hold on line with the BKB on the horizon.
Yeah, and if they do eliminate Arma in these fights,
there's nothing else really for Max G.
This loon is kind of everything for them.
And they do have pretty good ways to focus down a single target.
You know, 33 ready to leave the charge with the doom.
You follow that up with Noir to turning up and providing the right clicks.
And even though Arma is this far ahead on the farm,
they can certainly still take him out of the team fight.
And overall for Amé, he does have a solar crest and a glimmer for himself right from the Exnova, but that's it.
And a lift, I guess, from the Rubik, but no oras besides that.
So the time has been chasing already. This time will be successful at least.
Oh, and a good steal. He does end up giving away the sharpshooter. He has to be careful with how he uses that one.
That's fantastic for FY. He can potentially pop a target themselves.
It's an insane amount of damage, and we do see Amé...
refresher I mean he's got to be ready to go now right you got the I would
imagine he acts refresher when you go to start a build you roll in next
about this yeah this is them going we're gonna close the game we don't want
to let this go further is what I'd imagine is that means but let's see
what he's gonna be able to do with it
okay I'm seeing this in point some time not in this type of order at least
Especially now that you don't get the double, you know, items.
Tundra, playing safe.
Then a treat.
Yags, BZM, just picked up his own BKB.
XXS does pick up a BKB of himself now, so much safer for him,
because he was just kind of walking in and dying to all the spell damage, so...
Shields rune for BZM.
So I'm just starting to step forward here with the MKB finished on Muerta
If your damage is gonna be pretty insane and just a
Little bit more reliable right for him to get his damage out at this point as opposed to the actual fresher loona carry bill
Right. Yeah, but if they do get even
I was even one even one disable on the Muerta and they dropped the occlusion. He could just die instantly so
They have to be very ready and very fast to save pure they do have four staff and
I mean they've double four steps to pull them away from the eclipse though that
Yeah, that's pretty big action and he has his own four step and I think they have a headband as well
to have back in this way. So they I mean yeah he's gonna get taken out of the
radius of that eclipse. He literally could get like headband and triple
four step almost in an instant which is an I imagine the case of them trying to
save him. Agonyms now finished up for 33. They basically had to drop these eclipses
what on nothing to say and have him stay on top. Yep, they're going in.
They'll see him go straight for Xenover. They're doomed. Anyway, it's undemolitioned.
But the grip comes off. It's a good grip as well. Looks down BZN. Silence to the calling
comes in though. Pips will stop to the grip. Allows BZN to get the BKB off.
Ah, we're in trouble though. Rolling Thunder finishes him off 33, taking a huge amount of damage.
Nothing to say, jumps forward, 33's taken out, nothing to say, leading the way back into the fight, allowing them to clean up in their favor, get the three kills.
They did not get the kill on the band quick enough, everything got reset, he gets the grip off for decent duration and the double eclipse blasts everybody.
Connecting perfectly pure danger, we had some danger kind of walking into that one there. That's the fight XG was looking for with this refresher.
And it was Tundra who picked it.
Yeah, they did.
Great lift back from FY.
Big lead in trying to get this bane, and even though they're here with that sharp shooter, they couldn't.
As you say, kill him quick enough, get some good duration out of this, and sort of force his peer to have to focus catching him first with that silence.
A pretty big brain from Army too, right? Popping the mantis before the fight, sending an illusion in, so 33 is like,
Oh, I got the lunatic! Wait, that's not him. I'm back at play BZM!
He's been caught! And he's looking very, very dead here!
He is going down.
That's for 70 seconds caught by surprise there. That's how you take a fight with
the refresher for sure up to level 25 now and a 4,000 gold here for army too
so could look to pick up that next item as well. Now's a hot fight.
What do they do with it? They go to minute now. No storm. Probably wait for the
rush. Yeah at this point. Yep. But can still look to take these fights in a
similar manner. Heroes die very quick, this eclipse. It's dangerous. And there's no glitters.
I'm seeing REQing one up now. Is there checking around? Do they have anything to mitigate this
besides the four staffs? No. Did they have the... Okay, I was checking neutral items now too,
right? Because there are some tier four neutrals. What is this thing called? The pupae? The mandible?
So they do have one of them.
As soon as it's pretty significant to tank.
But that's it.
They've gone all in for damage.
XG, looking to get good information in the area.
Deward before the rush.
It is up, and it is on the bottom side for them.
They have a minute to clear it, so they should be able to.
be able to. Yeah they can clean this up surely if they want to revive and nothing to stay,
it'll be easily. They'll find this armor.
Tundra, not likely to be able to do much about this one. This should be
HG wants to get, and the chance to have that
Aegis on our mate. I think fighting in these like, the cramped
kind of areas for Tundra is quite difficult, right? If you're fighting this small little
Area vs Eclipse, that's where their ex-jus is gonna thrive, right?
They drop into Eclipse, they drop these pits on top of it, and you're gonna get caught by them.
So, overall Tundra, have to watch out for these circles, in particular, and the circles are getting bigger.
Chasmstone now picked up for the Underlord as well.
Wait, here he had it, what am I talking about? He has Glybner, so whatever, he's just going for Sheeva.
So here he had the AOE increase on it, so it's gonna be massive, but...
What's the plan? They've got the gold lead, they've got the Aegis again, armies.
He's feeling comfortable again after that fight for sure, because he's got so much gold injection.
But how much are they gonna push him?
What is the question? Is he gonna eat the agonims?
Because he's also had his mask of madness in his backpack for a long time.
Let's see what he wants to swap around. Fy!
They'll get the catch on him.
Ah, he's gone.
A lot of kills they're able to find in these last few moments.
Picking them off all over the place not letting tundra be a five-man unit either 55 seconds. Though hoodwink
I'm waiting to see what I'll may wants to do
With all this gold because he can eat the agonist disassembled mask of man is by satanic
Right he has a lot of options you can go for or go very aggro with some type of link build which we've seen some lunas do
See what he wants to do
Because he's hanging on to 7k gold
Imagine it's a satanic to be the safest one
And yeah, he cues it up
Statenik into Swift Blank is gonna be the call for himself.
Not deviating from the normal after.
So still has some good growth.
Cher also hanging on to a Vodakold and stuff.
He's level 25 and he's hanging on to 5.5k.
Blackbanks are gonna be pretty important now.
It's an over.
Be good catch here.
You want to set something up with the fiend strip?
Theye...
Ooh!
Yeah, I'm gonna get the BKBL, it probably didn't matter anyway,
they would have had the way to interrupt the eclipse,
though still kills Whitemon.
And that's still episode 5.
I'm easy again.
God, dangerous.
He's just gonna slip all the way back.
33's caught!
And White finds him.
His BKBL is already used.
He's got nowhere really to go,
and nobody's here to help him.
So actually getting...
Yeah, the support but then getting the bigger pick off still out on the map
They're dominating the fight on if they're nearly not hemorrhaging many kills. What's whoever it's just get what's dying?
Time ago. That's the ultimate run. I'm fine
Mostly mid lane has been pushed out pretty far. She always already cut in the creep way for the bottom lane pushing in against them
Yeah, believe what that's agonist glass auto assistant Titanic coming out of the career for our mate
But the push was coming in 33 is dead for a very long time. That's at least one set. Yeah, absolutely
xg
Coming in with the push, but very careful about it. They didn't sort of
Try and force it too heavily. They waited until Tundra made a mistake out on the map
Knowing that they would then have the opportunity to push him very safely here with the Aegis
Save one step, maybe two, he doesn't have to buy back gold here 33 700 gold short
And he still got Aegis for almost two minutes. Could just be a second set
They want to do anything with the 4 of them.
Clips to zone.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
They're going to get a catch on, twin.
Rolling Thunder's in, Ari's in trouble.
BGM's going to try and sit forward.
There comes the flyback from Ari, pure.
Trying to move into position.
They'll be able to force it forward, close the gap, one-way flight.
Turn sensation over to Wards Army.
Yates just out of his hat.
Sure, BKB is ending.
They're on top of him.
He's got the centerpin with the feed escape.
Another force gets pure back, but the pit's dead.
X-XX continues to push them back allowing space for him to get back in with the push but
Dooms back in the air in a few seconds long expect 33. They get the vortex out of the two them
I mean, he's gonna go for the BKB
TPA out he'll get away for nothing to say an X9 will get left behind very smart TP
Honestly, he immediately has to bail out of there with these buybacks will be able to get himself out
They do lose three other heroes, but they came they got a decent amount what they came for
yeah, they get the bottom set of barracks they
Scratch the the range wrecks a little bit in the mid
My old and old Tundra able to hold on to that mid-stand of Rex
But you're seeing you stop to be very careful on the side of XQCurrent can just
Evaporate heroes and they do get a pretty good grab here if he doesn't be KB there honestly
I think I may stand as well
So very clutch little play coming up from him individually
And they've been very careful how they proceed with the lead they have and she and where we're certainly seeing why
It's so insane damage the 12k lead does not mean that much
You know, it doesn't really mean anything if anything they have sure they've got a racks advantage right now
But they do not really have any type of lead in a way in terms of killing and dealing with this where it's a she's still to kill everybody
If she's not isolated if she's not burnt down before the DKB you can see the damage pure will do
This game has gotten so much more exciting
Is there any chance for for them to push the high ground here try and see what happens whilst there's no nothing to say for 40 seconds
Well, what do you do now if your time? The question is do you want to take that risk?
I just want to get the the open goal that's on the map right now, right?
Because you have towers to claim bottom you have a tower to claim top you have a tormentor to claim
So there's a lot of open goal that they can claim that I think they might just go back for
They also have time to now discuss it
Bringing in the bottom life
Nice game, it's so exciting.
You can absolutely see how XG can close things up, but you can see how Pure in particular,
with this agonims now on BZM, can't just evaporate targets.
And soon level 25 on BZM too, so overload attack bounces.
With the conjurer's catalyst, they definitely still have growth in terms of damage.
And their damage is ridiculous, honestly.
here has to be addressed
yeah they're claiming all the golds right
it's a lot of money you can claim from them right
the top tower also drops you get map control
you start to have access maybe toward wisdoms
tormentor does shift toward top
I don't know if xG can go for it maybe they're thinking about it
Kondra, flying another item here, spend some of his gold to slip blink, is there?
Go get it.
Little something extra for them.
FY is going to be probably one of the priority targets I imagine they go for, especially if they notice that he has deadshot right now.
We saw them go for him before, how important he can be, because this is one of the most
broken abilities that you can steal in the game.
Crazy disruptive in these fights.
Yeah, like, that's like 5,000 range away, stunning 4 people essentially.
What?
He's gonna try to get the chain cross player on enough in this stage, hit 4, they're gonna
have him!
It's a big catch!
99 seconds!
It has to be more careful how he steps out alone.
They'd have a pretty good shot of forcing out the buyback.
Was that the gem too? I think it was, right? Yeah, it was, so...
They have three of them now.
Three gems!
Yep.
Taking them away from XG.
Altandra.
XG rallied around their vision on the ward. That success in the front.
See if anyone shows here in the mid.
Tundra's getting pretty rich on these last few moments.
A couple more items starting to get picked up on these cores, as we said here.
Hitting critical mass.
Nothing to say, not having to buy back though. Nothing too crazy at least for him.
Of course the death hurts quite a lot because now they're not really farming at all.
And it's time to farm in the whole map.
But we should be able to respawn for the fight.
BGM very scary now at this point to a full shiva's for him
How big is the AOE now for the vortex with she was pretty large right he has to put in his inventory, so we'll see in a moment
But yeah, look at that for I mean the vortex he was man. It's pretty nasty
I'm gonna get dropped down off the force you peer to put the BKV surrounded from a army has to BKV and run
X-Nove is coming in from the side, quickly blink out, Teddy's just going to see if they can try and find him, BZM's going to run out in minus, so won't be able to continue to search for him, X-Nove gets out.
And nobody dies, I believe what, an A on disc got popped from FY.
Couple of BKB's from the carries.
Yep, Almay popped refresher.
He did.
And a click. I guess the local didn't live it.
Won't have it for 35 seconds, it won't have BKB for 65.
Tundra does have their BKB's at the ready, besides Pures.
And Roche is back up.
We'll find the Deward.
This time, Tundra, they can go for the Roche.
They're in a pretty good position to take this Roche.
Pures kills it insanely fast, too.
They can't even make it there at all in time.
That's a free refresher.
Oh, they could have a double blue hole. Definitely an opportunity.
Tundra's next fight. Coming at them with this Aegis G's Refresher Shard is going to be the biggest test so far for XG in this game.
Absolutely.
They don't get through that, then Tundra will start to reclaim control of this.
I feel like I want to see Aume spend out, but I also want him to have buyback for sure.
I mean, what was he getting rid of? Just getting rid of the treads for the SwiftBlake?
Yeah. Doom now has Mute as well.
Tundra is scaling more and more.
See Whitemon? I haven't seen if he catches anyone trying for the Wisdom.
It looks like they're not going to try a friend. Whitemon knows. No, nobody's coming.
He'll just take it for himself.
Very glad they don't go for that Wisdom.
He's starting to fall behind though.
That growth that they were getting, they would get up to, I think, what, 16,000 plus gold
lead or so?
He's starting to completely dwindle, and the map control, it's all there for Tundra.
Anybody who steps outside on this bottom side is going to get jumped.
Good steal.
He is able to get the dead shot again.
So he'll be super obnoxious with the ball lightning as well, good luck catching him.
And nothing to say is going to be going for the refresher into I.D.'s fights are going
to be pretty chaotic.
Could also be the case where heroes just evaporate instantly inside of like a double-dome, double-pulse
scenario.
Execution for XG has to be perfect and they cannot be stacked up on top of each other.
I don't know if they feel necessary to know that they're kind of happy to sort of wait
until X do start coming out one by one.
I think if they see anybody they'll just kill them almost immediately because they have
like one of the highest DPS lineups it feels like with this storm and the squirts at this
point.
See if anyone shows themselves.
XXS has to be so careful. He will get Dovi on the tower. If he doesn't get BKB off, he dies almost instantly.
They do want that pick though. You can see Tundra. Very patient for it.
XXS is gonna show.
Don't wanna go for it.
Okay, the BKB dude is gonna get dropped down on his way, but he ticketed the BKB off first. Now the turnaround comes into play. 33-82, E.M. just gets popped.
Nothing to stand as a very good angler with a rolling thunder.
Holding him on the steps, now the BKB comes in from 33.
Deadshot hits onto Wards Pierre.
He can't move.
He has to back into the base a little bit.
He's going to release this as well. Can they burn him down the once?
He's going to get healed up at four star. Another four star. Protect the Aegis.
What I mean, Lotus was that. Two or three Lotus is to protect the deadshot. Almost clutched.
Oh, BZM's going to try and get back in.
That's the nightmare to protect FYBZM. Did you use the BKB for that effort?
All important that X-XS got the BKB off in the initial go. If he doesn't, they'd probably 100-0 him immediately and might have to use buyback, but not the case, and because that doesn't happen, nobody dies, somehow.
And on discs, we're forced.
But yeah, pure. Playing versus this Underlord trying to go into the base, you can see the problems, right? They can't just walk up. You're stuck. You really can't move at all. Somehow they keep Pure's Aegis alive, though.
though.
Still hanging around the area though, Tundra, at least for Vahri, and Whitemon on Watch.
Sure, finishing up perhaps that next item, and soon bagging him, looks like it's going
to be the call for him.
It's always nice to have that, then the Bane literally can almost never get a fiend's
grip off in a backline as well too, it's very disruptive.
So let's go back up, finish off the next few items, since they know that XG's stuff
side of the base. If XG knew that they split off like this they could potentially maybe
try to make some type of sneaky move but it's too risky and they don't have any information
outside.
I mean what's XG sort of looking for next? Like what's their next kind of big pick up?
I don't know, I'm not sure honestly. I don't know if there is another big pick up. I think
that they've hit the timing of pick ups at least for the LUNA already. It's just about
execution in terms of the teamfights now at this point.
We should travel 2 now on 33 so he'll always be able to follow up for BZM making sure that he's there to get in on to whoever BZM wants to target first.
It feels like Tundra still has it. They can still scale a bit more. I do feel like actually they've kind of hit their critical mass here.
here doesn't mean they can't execute it though but they need to get those jumps
kind of perfectly with the way the tundra is controlling the whole map
getting that insane amount of farm
look at ex nova he's being a very very kind of risky plays with this band but
you can see the concept of what he's trying to look for here putting these
sneaky wards
Super sneaky words, too. He's using the Quaddling Blade to cut some trees to put some words that are usually not anticipated.
They're just farming.
8000 gold on BZM.
Axe has been consumed now for the Muerta.
for the Muerta. XG, thinking about making that move that we're mentioning. They know
that Tundra's been splitting up a decent amount here.
In the way of 33. They have a ward on this high ground here that was placed by Exenova
earlier. This is a bit deep though if they want to go there. Let's see if they want to.
Smoke's coming to an end. Have they got anyone to respoke? Or might they make it just in time?
I think they make it just in time. FY, he's got the blinker.
Close. Smokes about to wear off.
He still gets the jump, it.
Telekinesis in the dead shot, into the eclipse with the Yonk just there.
Nullified down on towards him, but the TP Rage is coming in.
Good angle for nothing, the same straight-up.
Stardom was pure.
He's dribbled, and he put the grip.
They'll be able to put a stop to the Grypple up here to get the BKB and the ult off.
He's ready to fire back.
Look to X-Nove, but X-Nove is able to get a safe distance away.
There's a bleeding backup X-G.
I'm in.
It hands on him with the portex.
Army needs help, the zoom's coming out, 33 up to TPO there with a boss 2, closing in, the Army still gets away, pure.
Blinks forward, but the ult's coming to an end, so the damage starting to fall off a little bit, it'll sell for X-XS.
X-T's running.
But they won't be able to get Army, Army gets out of there, only X-XS ends up going down, but Tundra they do keep everybody alive and pure.
They're able to survive, but only just.
Oh my god, and he's 33, having the War Stomp, thank goodness for them, right?
War stumps the fiends group otherwise potentially pure dies without getting the satanic off there great bail out there from fy2 the lift the bailing army
nice little save
Conceived dangerous though going for that play there. You know, they're gonna respond
They were very very quick with that. Yeah instant tps from literally everybody
It was the refresher shard used from bzm so at least they baited that
Tundra a minute to play with that xxs on the defense
Yeah, now until the BKB's back up 20 seconds and then it could look to just go aggressive
again.
33, fixing the bottom lane too, pushing it all the way out.
Easy in.
I'm in the Parasmo now so starting to have some pretty significant damage output on this
late game storm.
Yeah, I mean his damage is insane now.
He's had a rough game overall but he has hit the point where he is one of the strongest
heroes on the map now and the same thing for XG continues to call.
If they get hit by a multi-hero vortex, they're just instantly dead, so they have to be super careful how they space.
I'm not going to try and push anything quite now.
Don't mind the way the game is starting to settle.
They're content with more growth, right?
Sure, can still buy a moonshard, 30 D can still hit level 30.
Can still continue to grow, of course.
Claim this area.
So I'm playing with the 7-Soulks now, aren't I,
as he gets the Silver Edge?
Sure, he's about to hit level 30.
Level 30's a pretty big timing for him to double deadshot,
nothing ever to laugh at when you have an Aghanim's.
can they catch them out with the silver eyes pick up on army or do you think
this is something they'll be ready for they have the triple jam didn't they
right well don't hang out to one right now okay just on all right maybe white
mind picks up at least some said yeah he has some centuries now too so I can see
why he went for it right wanting to be sneaky because it feels like they have
to do some type of sneaky stuff at this point with the way time driven posturing
themselves but can be very dangerous because you could just die because he
walks into a wrong spot here on this Luna. Two minutes until those neutral
items are coming out too. This is a sneaky move.
BZM.
He's gonna find BGM and Ari, but both the two of them are still alive. BGM will survive. Ari also able to back off for now.
Then he's just gonna go straight and watch FYI here, surrounding him with the Doom, running the Rubik out of the teamfight as he'll kill him off.
Pursing.
Let me see if they can actually deal with Pure as he's about to come to an end.
Here's Ka'Vehr, we're now finished, but XXS, he's gone.
Does have BiBak available, both teams using the two.
Support BiBak on each side, for now they want to push on four for this.
BGM's low on the matter, they found him via second time.
Nothing to say in army, dealing with Ari, but again the force is there.
Doesn't matter, Swashbuckle will get him, that's how he deaths for good.
Flows the force, deaths for two minutes.
Nothing to say, will fall.
Here's BiBak, still there though.
Broch, it's up.
Sure.
I mean, do you buy back or nothing to say to try and contest this 4v4? You just let Tundra have this.
I don't think you can contest it.
It's too dangerous, and actually, I mean, it still has BKB, but it's gonna die too fast.
Perhaps thinking that they can't make it there in time.
Oh my god, this right ahead, I mean, there's like eight fights going on at the same time.
Incredibly split.
But all the cores were going for the forest.
The- the- these, like, the- both four positions had the most, like, awful fight possible,
because they couldn't get anything off, because they're just getting chased by these super strong cores on top of them.
RE, as well as FY, dead for quite some time here.
To refresh your shard, again now for BZM though, so the double hole, absolutely there.
Or the double vortex.
So 60-minute neutral zone, 20 seconds.
Four of us, can you force out the pango buyback?
The question is, do you want to do that or do you want to guarantee neutral items?
What's the call from Tundra?
Looks like they are going to at least occupy an area to claim some neutrals, but BZM and
33 looked like they're potentially trying for a hunt.
Okay, they're just going in.
I think that's forced a reaction.
I was thinking about TPing in, good job he doesn't.
33 was ready to get the jump on it.
How much damage can they do?
Some racks should be free, can make push for a second set, still 10 seconds no pangar.
He really did not want to buy back.
Coming back up in 5 seconds here, another glyph used.
Got the fortification.
10-3's gone.
And they'll settle with that, not wanting to stick around whilst the full 5 man's back
up on XJ.
There's a monsters creep wave up top, triple catapult plus 10 range creeps or so, someone's
going to go back and farm that, it's going to be Ari.
He can TP and join his team afterwards.
Yeah, the bot's coming out all around really.
Bot's too, picked up by Pure and also even the bot on white monster, he can be wherever
he needs to be.
Pure is literally a maximum now, actually full slotted, can start replacing things and
swapping things out, but that's about it, and let's see what neutrals they do end up
getting.
Some pretty disgusting ones of course, Audacious Digin in particular, one that most people
always look for it.
Wame?
Wame!
They could have out of the base!
He wanted a neutral!
Oh!
I mean they were fully set up for that white one earlier, we saw laying down the ward
and ready for that sort of move and...
Wame out for 90, does have Vivek at least.
Punish for his greed, that's the first time he's died in so long, he was godlike still.
He dies in an instant.
I'm very ready with the setup there
You knew that there was a chance of that sort of move
David I mean you always want to try to go for your neutrals
But that's the most dangerous place right next to your base is the most dangerous place when you're behind
Trying to go for your neutral items like this nothing to say we'll be able to find himself a tight
Vampiric Stygian desolator. Nice anything else big?
We'll see
I mean they kind of let the conjure under his catalyst, but
I imagine one of these is going to be favoured over it.
I think they keep the conjurers on the storm, you do on muertime on 13, you probably do
because this item is just insane.
Okay, here goes Deathstone.
Alright, so Deathstone, to BKB, they really don't want to have a used spy back on Arme.
If Tundra is going to do their best to try and force it out, they get the mid set of
barracks.
Arme has the audacious Dijian also for the fight so if you can't connect with Hits,
will do ridiculous damage, but harder for him to do so.
20 seconds and he really doesn't want to press buyback.
But it might just be that the guarantee to be up against the Magus,
he's going to buy back now.
Rolling Thunder will catch on a BZM, a BZM's having getaway.
The drop B clips that almost pure pure in trouble the once.
That's the Aegis God.
He's got BKB.
BZM back in with a 4-tech for the rolling Thunder will allow nothing to stay to get out of there.
Ian just provides some protection here for XXS.
33 tries to jump forward, but he is caught by the root immediately.
Puff the PKP to retreat, if shot down X-Nova, he's out for nearly two minutes, Army.
Commits in, goes aggressive, over to Watt's Pure, looking for the Muayah to put the forces there, gets Pure back to safety.
Army's PKP about to come to the MPCM, jumps forward, they're about to come in with the Root, they're in with the Doom Army, Xiao!
A tieback on the Lunar!
Tundra!
There's no doubt GG's called!
Tundra!
Take the win here!
And with that, we'll be the team to move on through the tiebreakers.
An insane amount of patience in this game, but taking very specific coordinated fights, not letting XG roll over the map with that agnims.
And BZM, you could see he was very stressed in this game. He had a top one, but made a fantastic recovery on the edge with these pulls.
And overall, the Muerta, it absolutely works. 17-4 and 9 pure. That was a pretty insane carry performance.
Absolutely. Both of these games, right? Game 1 on his PA, game 2 on this Muerta, 17-4 and 9, as you say, insane.
What was his damage?
Nearly a thousand GPM.
He had over 1,100 XPM.
He nearly had a thousand GPMs.
That's pretty insane for a 63 minute game.
Yeah, to maintain that level of farm and such.
But as you can see, Smiles there.
I imagine a little bit of relief right there.
These games were kind of crazy.
This one was kind of crazy.
And Tundra able to bring it together.
BZM having a bit of a tough mid game.
We saw like the last best of one, right?
He had a tough early game.
Laning stage recovered.
This time, it was kind of like a rough mid game.
But then again, he recovered.
BGM show regardless of the struggles that he counts in the games
He will most of the time be able to come back out with some pretty phenomenal late-game plays
Well, there we go ladies German Tundra with this one they're moving on
This was I felt like this was extreme gaming game to lose
I really thought that they were gonna do it and force us into another batch of tiebreakers
But kudos to Tundra for making the comeback happen
Yeah, because this was quite a fun one to play.
Yeah, Xtreme was playing super good for this entire game.
They just straight up got out clutched.
I was worried for Tundra that, you know, based on BZM, having a really rough game, there
were some feeds here and there from them that were close.
Things were kind of like crumble for them, but to me, it's really cool to see teams be
resilient.
Like, you know the attitude and the trust in the team has to really be there for BZM
to be able to turn it around and have such an incredible performance, pure also, like
this guy completely carried the game.
He really popped off in this game.
It's just like when you look at this entire game, I think they had, it was good that they
kept their cool, because I also thought that XG kind of had this game.
You know, they had like a 20K lead, I really liked the itemization, like, Armagnol with
his axe, the refresher, they had really good team fighting, but it looked like, you know,
this one jump in the triangle that we saw where Pure barely lived, they go to the higher
ground, they ask them buybacks, it was such.
I think they knew.
I think this reaction is kind of telling you the story of this game where they knew that this game
Shouldn't be a W for them and potentially another round of tiebreakers, but they managed to they saved everyone
They did save and I also think that Ami had an insanely good game
Really loved atomization
Realizing that he can use this Agatham scepter on his pango who's rolling in where it doesn't really feel too comfortable
Coming into these fights taking the level 20 talent
So having the lower cooldown, then he dies in the end, but he still has Godlike streak, which is still showing how well they played, but unable to close out the game.
Yeah, I unironically think the neutral item, I never take it.
The bobble, the bobble.
So on I had the bobble, and clearly he wanted to go get a 60-minute item, so he could use the bobble, because you go from 10% to 50% increased stats, and then obviously the stats you're getting from the 60-plus-minute item are insane.
So that got through like but he didn't need to go to that one. No
It's the greed man, and then
But we have to we have to shout out surely why this happened look at the odds
It's it's the odds and then playing around the odds to catch somebody here
The wherewithal for white mon to make this play is just incredible because it's some late game
6070 minute clutch scenario
Mario. Waimon looked like deadpan. All the other teammates looked stressed. Ari blown
out his mouth, his team super excited. Waimon just killer man. Great face killer.
Lich enjoyer.
I mean that's the reason this guy is, you know, the best 5. Maybe he had a few like
more quiet games but this guy overall, when you watch a tournament or you're gonna talk
to someone who's a 5 player, just watch replays of this guy. He's the best.
is easy. Well, the game was not easy though. And I think also this ties into Whitemon being
the best. Our commentary team already said it, but Pure did have two fantastic games
today.
Not like in this game, I think he was really everything that they needed him to be and
what he could be for the team. Like he had overall like great mid game, didn't really
die, great team fighting as well. And I think it's also what they needed. Like sometimes
I still think he's a bit of a hit-or-miss player.
I don't think this is like prime, pure form really, but in this game, he popped off.
He did. I mean, they were also taking care of him with multiple support items, these four stats,
because you can't, you're playing against double, triple pit of Malice in some of the fights
because of the Agadam scepter, and then psychic headbans that they were using to push him out of trouble.
I think the comms were like very, very good from their side, like he called something,
and you can kind of feel that immediately gets done.
like he gets pushed out and they can reset multiple times in a fight.
The ages save, like I know the one you're talking about where he had ages and they were able to save it.
Yeah.
Sure, there's no fight that happened after that, that gives them like three plus minutes where actually has no move to make, right?
And they can reset and they can do it again. Maybe it's without ages. That's okay.
But it's those three minutes that you're protecting where like they could have lost the game. It's a really big deal.
It also, we're gonna talk to someone who is a very big deal.
Whitemon, congratulations on winning the tiebreaker. How are you doing?
Yeah, very good.
Glad to hear it. I have a couple questions, but my first one is actually about the tiebreaker.
You guys were the team to play second, and we had a couple of theories on whether it would or would not be an advantage
to be the team that gets to watch the other two teams play first, and I was hoping you could shine some light now you feel
your position in the tiebreaker was as the team that plays second.
Yeah, I think we discussed it with Neto. It's kind of like disadvantage for us because you know, we play against the winner teams.
I thought that we should be playing against the loser teams, you know. So we can play the third game after that, you know.
Because otherwise, if we just lost, then the player team is just going to qualify for something like that.
Yeah, well, you guys qualified, so well done. Thank you for that information. You played two Lich Games personal favorite of mine,
But we've had some discussions on the panel over the last few days and that the position 5 hero pool is
Small and I I mean I like the lich don't be wrong
But I was hoping you could tell me how you feel about the position 5 hero pool right now
And is this lich just really good right now or is it the only good one right now?
I would say
right now post five just need like the stable lands and
What gives you a model about the team fights?
Yeah, that's why like these leads or like techies or silencer of Phoenix, it's kind of pop off because you know just gives you a lot of teamfights
Because you just mentioned basically all the position fives we've been seeing which is four heroes
Do you feel like there's a lot more untapped potential and a lot of heroes that we haven't seen yet or is this kind of it?
I think there is like maybe more like potential like yeah I don't wanna
That's fine, that's fine. Keep the secrets, keep the secrets. Gotta be real so you guys have been
struggling a little bit and obviously still making it to the upper bracket
that's fantastic so it seems like from my perspective you guys are on the up you
feel more comfortable and clicking again with the team with the current meta as
Well, and I was hoping you could give me a percentage on how you feel you're doing if winning lands
Which you have been doing obviously quite a lot this season is a hundred percent. How are you at right now?
I think right now we're all around like
Maybe like 60 or 50 something
What do you feel is lacking like where where is it? Where's the other percentage going?
I
I don't know, sometimes we kind of mess up about the landing states or sometimes we build about the teamfights and how do we play the maps, yeah?
So it's a little bit, small things of everything in your head, but you've just been lacking a little bit in the last few days, or last few weeks maybe.
Going to the upper bracket, it's obviously fantastic, congratulations, congratulations on that one.
Elzap Kezu, we'd love to ask you a question.
what's up whitemon in game 2 you guys had the or like in the early game you had
the lich PA lane right against the beast silencer I think you guys got cooked a
little too hard in that lane can you tell me what you think about that lane
um that land we just kind of like messed up a bit the like the killings I think
we tried to kill the silencer but we we missed the jump and yeah suddenly like
there is big wave on us and they just keep spamming on us. I feel like if we can kill the silencer there it could be good but yeah
we just like miss the play and then after that yeah, they just like keep spamming on us and yeah, we're kind of like getting you know
Yeah, so do you think that comes from having the wrong plan or is it just that a play came up and you guys miss played?
I think it's just like some misplays
Yeah, okay, and when it comes to other position fives because I think a lot of people share the same idea that you're one of the best
Post fives are there any post five players you look at for either warding or gameplay, you know to improve your own gameplay still
For me personally, I look to every other post five
So yeah, I don't really have like this specific post five, but I look at every other teams
Yeah, and do you specifically look at them before you play them for the warding?
Or are you saying you watch every single post five player all the time even when you're not just about to play them?
Usually sometimes I just like look at the post five that I want to learn like maybe about the
Like the heroes or maybe about the like the movement something like that
About the one thing I sometimes I look at it, but it's not really like
Important, I would say yeah. All right. All right, guess you're just dead good. That's it for me. Thanks
Alright, Yvonne, we're gonna let you go. Congratulations on breaking out of the tiebreaker successfully
and making it to that upper bracket. We'll see you tomorrow.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
Thank you as well. And I'm a hope for the maybe wonky position fives, the different
position fives that you mentioned that you can't mention. Surely there is some out there.
I want to see some Ogre.
Ogre, yes.
I was thinking the exact same hero. I saw it in Pro level pubs like a week ago.
Okay.
I'm not sure what it is, but it's not the only Locals.
Yeah, it's not the only one.
He's going to be playing Ogre for sure.
Back to the Locals, he's just mean, you know.
I can talk about that too once he shows the standings.
Oh yeah.
What?
Averlite?
Yeah.
Run team.
No, I just wanted him to suck it.
Back to your shivers.
Alright, we can take a look at group standings because now they're solved.
Everything is a clear and with, I believe, with playtime beating extreme as well.
the order is Tundra playtime.
Right now all it's fish.
No, don't worry, it will come.
Yeah, it is from the bottom playtime extreme Tundra
and BedBoom on third place.
Yeah, so they are in that top four spot shiver
for a good reason, winning the previous line
and I do have high hopes for BedBoom team
to do well in this one as well.
Na'Vi being six and one is pretty cool.
It's so cool, I do enjoy seeing them do well.
There's only one undefeated team now in Falcons.
And I believe if I am reading this correctly,
we are gonna have a banger of a match
in the upper bracket straight away.
Oh yeah.
Tundra versus Falcons.
That is gonna be fun.
We got Team Spirit versus a Bed Boom Paravigio Liquid,
Navi, Aurora, this is all upper bracket.
And all actually looking quite good there.
Yeah, I think this might be the tournament
that Navi actually makes it.
They're always, you know, there, now, pretty much having a perfect tournament so far,
and I think they're gonna be matched nicely against Aurora, because of Aurora right now.
After what happened during the lock-in, the previous finals, they got completely dismantled.
I feel like this could be a relatively easy match-up for them.
Yeah, disagreeing with the cost here.
It's unfortunate that Navi's playing against the best team in the tournament first.
Hold! This has never happened before in my head, anyway.
Oh, no, China!
China versus China cannot happen until the semi-ultimate round.
Until the RO2A, yeah.
Well, the unfortunate, it could go in the worst direction where China is both out, yeah.
That could happen, yeah.
Sure, but at least they don't eliminate each other, which is always very sad to see.
I, after watching that last game, I have a little more hope for Extreme.
Me too.
Still not that much given some of the tilting that's been happening.
But for Vici, they have had some pretty bullshit series.
Like, a lot of their series were the ones where it's game three,
and the game three goes to like 70 plus minutes.
Like, they've had some of the most insane games.
I think that team is really good,
and they're going to cook in the lower market.
You know who's really good?
The PogChamp man. LaCoste.
LaCoste.
Yeah, because I thought that was very good team.
Or on top of the leaderboards.
I believe you're still on top, right?
Because you are. Yeah, it should be.
Because only Konami did choose playtime.
Bald moved from him.
We had a couple of extremes as well.
Yep, Jenkins and SPG, take the LLB one.
It's a bald move from Avery going for the extreme.
And for me, of course, I believed in my boys.
Hey, Kezu, we're tight.
We're trailing these clans.
How is Quinn tight with us?
He's not even here.
Production's doing a good job putting in his little predictions.
Shout out to you guys.
We will keep tabs on these predictions
when we're going into some very...
can't do that my bad I miss timed it I miss timed it I miss timed it my bad I
thought we were going for a faster high five like this one all right well what
do you have for us here I have for you guys pulls it out you work that we now
also have I think it's updated either way anyway because the group stage now
officially done that means it's okay it's not a little word we will show you
how it looks this morning and then for tomorrow hopefully we'll have to fully update on one because
we have got all the the points a lot of teams already got their group stage points I believe
there's a lot more points to be gotten out of this group stage especially if you go deep
into this dream league. I don't mean to be that guy. Be that guy. Vici doesn't give a
shit about that. They already qualified. They won the qualifiers for EWC. They already happened?
Did they yeah, they won't that already happened. They was a China land. It's the only qualifier that's already happened
Okay, they want I literally went to get dinner with faith beyond like five days ago
And he told me that so unless the literal guy himself is lying five days ago
But I thought I was gonna be the qualified for this but maybe I'm like five days ago. You were in stock. Yeah
No, the day the day whatever the day was that we left to come to stock
So I they're already cross qualified. I mean they still want to do well. So a lot of money. Hmm. We'll quote him on that
So we'll see I'm telling you there should be a crown by their by their thing somebody's forgetting something. Okay, okay, I
Think we have a schedule. Yay. Let's go to the schedule. No, we don't have a schedule
Let's guess
We already saw the bedchumps. Yeah, oh yeah
The one thing that I do know yeah, is that tomorrow? Yeah is the final day where we have more than one stream
I know it could be two streams, but don't worry because only one of the series is overlapping
How do we do that?
Magic
streams
What?
Wow, we are really bad right now
This is not the camera guys
This is not keeping it up and walking in
We're gonna start with the stream be series
Then we're gonna have two series at the same time
Yeah, and then a mainstream series, so it's still in three time slots. So only one overlaps. That's good. Yeah, it's good
And that's not because that's not like a great day of Dota
It is a great day of Dota
You're used to having like four streams and now we're like, you don't know what's gonna happen
So I gotta keep the audience on their toes
What would you do if you had no toes, Casu?
No toes?
What's crawling my arms? I don't know cry
What is this question? It's like you're trying to throw me off. I don't know.
Look at us! That's you. Holy hell, that's good.
Oh, those were the old days. That was great.
Yeah, this is from my... You're packing in this one.
Oh my God.
We have a good picture. Three of us, actually, from Wii Play, where we're feeding Shiva great.
Oh, yeah, the Queen. The Khaleesi.
Yes, you're obsessed with toes. You were down on the ground looking at the toes, Janko.
Toes, Jankov, make a foot up.
I'll actually show that picture.
There we go.
Okay, so there's two streams. This is the first one.
This one starts at 3.30.
So keep an eye on the times. It's very important.
3.30, we have Paravision versus Team Liquid,
followed by Navi versus Aurora.
But then there's another stream that starts at 12.
You see the Ember stream?
Can you point at Batboom, Shiver?
I can't go with it.
It's okay. Largo is doing it. Thanks for the Largo production.
The Largo is blocking my finger.
I'm on the other side.
Either way, we got Spirit vs. Batboom as a second thing.
And the first game at 12 on the Ember Streams, Tundra vs. Falcons.
Whitebone said that they are at 60-50% of their regular form.
It seems like Falcons are on a hundred percent hundred and twenty yeah, including how well they're playing everything is
Jailing ain't together with this team right now
It's a good meta for them to it is their their meta heroes are very strong
That's always a determining factor for Falcons. So do we think that that series is not gonna be close then?
I
Have faith in thunder to like keep leveling it up because in the start they look the trochus like today
It's better and I think Falcons look strong
But I still don't know if they've been fully tested and I also like the teams in group B
I personally think the group B teams are quite strong. So, you know, we get a match up of A versus B
You think group B is strong? I actually think so. I think there are teams that have higher potential. Yes
Hot take Jenkins back to you thoughts
My thoughts are just the tundra is a team that always plays to the level of their opponent
They can always do that. So whenever I see tundra falcons
I never really care how shitty tundra is doing they can always level up especially like if it's hundred bet boom for example same thing like
I would always think tundra could level up against bet boom lacoste
Yeah, they can but the reaching bet booms level not gonna be as easy
They just want the tournament even though this tournament doesn't show the greatest performance so far, but yeah
All right group B navi provision bet boom stronger group period there you go
Well, if you want to know the answer to which group is stronger, we got a full day of group A versus group B tomorrow.
Two streams, make sure you are aware when your favorite team is playing, watch the Ember stream,
watch the main stream, and we'll see you tomorrow for more Dream League season 29. Thank you for today.
Keeps you got to breathe and let out a button in the hometown turning up the rock to beat, beat, beat, beat
I mean
